Answer:
Selling price= $1,336
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor-hours required to support estimated output 46,000
Fixed overhead cost $805,000
Variable overhead cost per direct labor-hour $1.00
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (805,000/46,000) + 1
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $18.5 per direct labor hour
Now, we can calculate the total cost:
Direct materials $719
Direct labor cost $177
Direct labor—hours used 7
Total cost= 719 + 177 + 18.5*7= $1,027.7
Finally, the selling price:
Selling price= 1,027.7*1.3= $1,336
If a country produces only two products, then by looking at the country's production possibilities curve (PPC), one can see that the opportunity cost of producing one of the products is the same as (equal to) the marginal cost of producing that product.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the cost of the good or service is the opportunity cost of producing one or one of the units of it. It's the cost of producing one r ore unit of good. Marginal cost includes the cost included the producing of every unit. Opportunity cost is the alternative cost incurred by not using the opportunity cost of the other product.On November 1, Bahama Cruise Lines borrows $3.5 million and issues a six-month, 9% note payable. Interest is payable at maturity. Record the issuance of the note and the appropriate adjustment for interest expense at December 31, the end of the reporting period.
Answer:
Bahama Cruise Lines
Journal Entries:
November 1:
Debit Cash Account $3,500,000
Credit 9% Notes Payable $3,500,000
To record the issue of a six-month note payable.
December 31:
Debit Interest Expense $52,500
Credit Interest Payable $52,500
To record the interest expense for the period.
Explanation:
a) With Bahama Cruise Lines borrowing $3.5 million on November 1 and issuing a six month, 9% note payable, the accounting entries are a debit to the Cash account for the cash received and a credit to the Note Payable account to establish the liability in the accounts.
b) Bahama Cruise Lines will accrue interest on the Note Payable for 2 months for the ending in order to comply with the accrual concept and the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principle. The accrual basis for accounting for transactions requires that expenses are recognized when incurred and not when cash is paid. The amount of the interest for the year is calculated as $52,500 ($3.5 million * 9%)/12 * 2. This also accords with the matching principle which requires that expenses are matched to the revenues of the same period.
SilverFinn makes high-end jewelry for women. This jewelry is manufactured and patented in Italy. Manufacturers in Argentina create counterfeit SilverFinn jewelry and sell it in local markets at nearly similar prices to the original SilverFinn jewelry sold in other countries. This lack of intellectual property protection is like to result in
Answer: a. reduction in export opportunities from Argentina to other countries.
Explanation:
SilverFinn jewellery probably has intellectual property protection in other countries so when Argentinian producers make those counterfeits, they will be unable to sell it outside Argentina where it would not be allowed to be sold. This will reduce the export opportunities from Argentina to other countries.
It may also reduce the export opportunities of other goods from Argentina because other countries might be slow to trust that what Argentina is sending are indeed genuine goods because they have been known to counterfeit SilverFinn jewelry.
Chester has negotiated a new labor contract for the next round that will affect the cost for their product Camp. Labor costs will go from $3.79 to $4.39 per unit. Assume all period and other variable costs remain the same. If Chester were to absorb the new labor costs without passing them on in the form of higher prices, how many units of product Camp would need to be sold next round to break even on the product?
Complete Question:
Chester has been selling widgets for $10, total variable costs are $4.40 and fixed costs are $100,000.
Chester has negotiated a new labor contract for the next round that will affect the cost for their product Cid. Labor costs will go from $2.79 to $3.39 per unit. Assume all period and other variable costs remain the same.
If Chester were to absorb the new labor costs without passing them on in the form of higher prices, how many units of product Cid would need to be sold next round to break even on the product?
Answer:
Chester
Break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit
= $100,000 / $5
= 20,000 units
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price = $10
Old variable cost = $4.40
Additional variable cost = $0.60
New variable costs = $5 ($4.40 + $0.60)
Contribution per unit = Selling price minus variable cost per unit
= $5 ($10 - $5)
Fixed costs = $100,000
b) Chester's Break-even point (in units) is the number of units of a product Camp that Chester requires to sell in order to recover her fixed costs. The information provided by break-even analysis guides Chester in making decisions for the production of Camps and its marketing. Without identifying the units of Camp to be produced and sold in order to remain in business, all things being equal, Chester might short-produce or short-sell Camps and run the business unprofitably.
Alpaca Corporation had revenues of $260,000 in its first year of operations. The company has not collected on $19,300 of its sales and still owes $26,300 on $90,000 of merchandise it purchased. The company had no inventory on hand at the end of the year. The company paid $13,000 in salaries. Owners invested $10,000 in the business and $10,000 was borrowed on a five-year note. The company paid $4,900 in interest that was the amount owed for the year, and paid $6,000 for a two-year insurance policy on the first day of business. Alpaca has an effective income tax rate of 40%. Compute net income for the first year for Alpaca Corporation.
Answer:
$89,460
Explanation:
The computation of the net income is shown below:
Sales $260,000
Less: Cost of goods sold -$90,000
Gross margin $170,000
Less:
Salaries -$13,000
Insurance payment -$3,000 ($6,000 ÷ 2 years)
Interest -$4,900
profit before tax $149,100
Less: tax expense -$59,640
Net income $89,460
We simply deducted all expenses from the revenues so that the net income could arrive and the same is to be considered

CR Cash $1,760
(To record repair of van)
April 29,
DR Delivery Van $52
CR Cash $52
(To record installation of GPS system in Van)
Explanation:
The transmission being faulty in the Van is part of the depreciation of the van and so when it is fixed, it reduces the depreciation of the van. The amount needs to be debited to the Accumulated Depreciation Account to signal that it is a reduction.
Installing a new GPS in a Van is an additional benefit to the van that will last for a period of more than a year hence it should be capitalised and added to the cost of the Delivery Van.
A monopolist has four distinct groups of customers. Group A has an elasticity of demand of 0.2, B has an elasticity of demand of 0.8, C has an elasticity of demand of 1.0, and D has an elasticity of demand of 2.0. The group paying the highest price for the product will be
Answer: Group A
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of demand refers to the sensitivity of quantity demanded given a change in price. In other words, how much will quantity demanded change if price changes. Higher elastcities mean that when prices change, their quantity demanded changes more. For instance, an elasticity of demand of 2 means that when prices rise by 2%, demand will decrease by 4%.
The group that will be paying the most therefore will have to be the group that is least sensitive to paying that high price. That would be Group A. As they are not very sensitive to price changes with an elasticity of 0.2, the Monopoly can increase their price to a higher point than others knowing that they won't demand less goods.

You are considering the purchase of a small income-producing property for $150000 that is expected to produce the following net cash flows
End of year cash flow
1 $50000
2 $50000
3 $50000
4 $50000
Answer : a) $5122.28 (b) 12.59% (c) You should make the investment
Explanation:
Internal rate of return = 11 %
initial cash flows = $150000
period = 4 years
Find the NPV (net present value )( using present value tables)
= preset value of cash flows - initial cash flows
= ∑ present cash flows for 4 years - $150000
= $155122.28 - $150000 = $5122.28
The going-in internal rate of return on investment
N (number of years ) = 4
pv ( present value ) = $150000
PMT = -$50000
Fv ( future value ) = 0
IRR = 12.59% ( making use of the cash flow list in our financial calculator )
If the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.9, the spending multiplier is _____, the tax multiplier is ______, and the balanced budget multiplier is _______, respectively.
Answer:
If the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.9, the spending multiplier is 10, the tax multiplier is -9, and the balanced budget multiplier is 1, respectively.
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
a) Calculation of spending multiplier
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the spending multiplier as follows:
Spending multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc)
Since mpc = 0.9, we have:
Spending multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc) = 1 / (1 - 0.9) = 1 / 0.1 = 10
b) Calculation of tax multiplier
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the tax multiplier as follows:
Tax multiplier = -mpc / mps
Note that the tax multiplier as given above is negative because increase in tax by the government makes the multiplier to work in reverse since the money is leaving the circular flow.
Since what is not consumed is saved, we have:
mps = 1 - mpc = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1
Therefore,
Tax multiplier = -0.9 / 0.1 = -9
c) Calculation of balanced budget multiplier
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the balanced budget multiplier as follows:
Balanced budget multiplier = Spending multiplier + Tax multiplier = 10 + (-9) = 10 - 9 = 1
Note that balanced budget multiplier is always equal to 1 as obtained above.
Conclusion
Therefore, if the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.9, the spending multiplier is 10, the tax multiplier is -9, and the balanced budget multiplier is 1, respectively.

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
cost of goods sold= $10,351,500
The average inventory for the year amounted to $1,545,000.
To calculate the inventory turnover, we need to use the following formula:
Inventory turnover= Cost of goods sold/ average inventory
Inventory turnover= 10,351,500 / 1,545,000
Inventory turnover= 6.7
An elderly investor has a short-term investment time horizon, is very concerned about loss of liquidity and is very risk averse. Your main concern when making a recommendation to this client is:
Answer:
Preservation of Capital
Explanation:
In a scenario such as the one described in the question, the main recommendation to the client should be Preservation of Capital. Meaning that the primary goal that the client should look towards is preventing any loss in a portfolio, this is usually done by investing in the safest short-term instruments, such as Treasury bills and certificates of deposit, and staying away from assets that have more risk and have the possibility of becoming a loss.
Calculate the forecasted cost at completion if the total budgeted cost is $15,000, the cumulative actual cost is $10,000, and the cumulative earned value is $12,000.
Answer:
$13,000
Explanation:
The total budgeted cost is $15,000
The cumulative actual cost is $10,000
The cumulative earned value is $12,000
Therefore, the forecasted cost at completion can be calculated as follows
= Cumulative actual cost + ( Budgeted cost-Cumulative earned value)
= $10,000 + ($15,000-$12,000)
= $10,000 + $3,000
= $13,000
Hence the forecasted cost at completion is $13,000
Betty Harrington owns a floor covering firm. Her market research is telling her that she is taking business away from the large home improvement stores in her trade area. One thing that Betty is worried about is that the large stores might fight back by lowering their prices, which hurts everyone except the consumer. The day-to-day challenge of firm growth that this example is referring to is:
Answer:
price stability
Explanation:
In this scenario, the day-to-day challenge of firm growth that this example is referring to is price stability. Since the prices of the competing store are being changed (on purpose) Betty Harrington's firm will have a hard time adjusting in order to continue competing with the larger competing store, especially if the larger store lowers the price too much that Betty's store cannot actually lower theirs to that price. Thus ultimately forcing her out of the market.
Dave Krug finances a new automobile by paying $6,500 cash and agreeing to make 20 monthly payments of $580 each, the first payment to be made one month after the purchase. The loan bears interest at an annual rate of 12%. What is the cost of the automobile? (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round PVA factor to 4 decimal places.)
Answer:
$16,966.68
Explanation:
the cost of the car = down payment + present value of the monthly installment payments
down payment = $6,500PV of monthly installment payments = $580 x 18.046 (PV annuity factor, 1%, 20 periods) = $10,466.68the cost of the car = $6,500 + $10,466.68 = $16,966.68
Talk to a 55-year-old (or older) business professional nearing retirement. This person can be a family member, friend, or mentor. List and describe the savings, investments, and risk management strategies for this phase of life. Describe how financial planning has changed from the earlier phase of life.
Answer:
The financial planning will differ for the person according to their age. A person who is 50 years older would have money only from his savings. The 55 year old person is retired and would only have money available for living from the saving he had made while he was working. He will not have any other source of income.
Explanation:
The risk management officer should consider the investments by considering his available savings. He should also consider the money required for living as there is no other source of income. The risk appetite for such an old aged individual will be low. He must be risk averse in the situation of retirement. The financial planning strategies changes for the person over the different phases of life. When a person is young and starts the job at age of 25 he might take excessive risks for getting extra returns. He is young and energetic, has ability to work part time along with his routine job to earn extra money.
"Mussatto Corporation produces snowboards. The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $10, direct labor $4, variable manufacturing overhead $3, fixed manufacturing overhead $10, variable selling and administrative expenses $1, and fixed selling and administrative expenses $8. Using a 25% markup percentage on total per unit cost, compute the target selling price. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)"
Answer:
The target selling price =$45
Explanation:
The target selling price is the sum of the total unit cost plus 25% of the the unit cost
The target selling price = Total per unit cost + (25% × total unit cost)
The total unit cost is the sum of all the costs involved making the product available to the consumer.
The sum of direct material cost , labour cost variable manufacturing, fixed manufacturing overhead, variable selling and administrative expenses and fixed selling and administrative expenses.
Total unit cost = 10 + 4 + 3 + 10 + 1 + 8 = 36
The target selling price = 36 + (25% × 36) = $45
The target selling price =$45

Fritz, Inc.'s unit selling price is $75, the unit variable costs are $45, fixed costs are $150,000, and current sales are 10,000 units. How much will operating income change if sales increase b
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Fritz, Inc.'s unit selling price is $75, the unit variable costs are $45, fixed costs are $150,000, and current sales are 10,000 units. How much will operating income change if sales increase by 5,000 units
Answer:
$150,000 increase
Explanation:
Fritz has a unit selling price of $75
The unit variable cost is $45
The fixed costs are $150,000
The current sales are 10,000 units
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin
Contribution margin= sales price - variable cost
= $75-$45
= $30 per unit
Therefore, the change in the operating income when sales increase by 5,000 units can be calculated as follows
= 5,000 units × $30
= $150,000 increase
Hence the operating income will increase by $150,000 when there is an increase in the sales by 5,000 units
Suppose that you take $50 in currency out of your pocket and deposit it in your checking account. If the required reserve ratio is 8%, what is the largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of your action?
Answer:
The largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of the action is $625.
Explanation:
This is an example of money multiplier.
Money multiplier refers to the maximum amount of money that commercial bank can create or generate with each dollar of reserves.
Reserves or required reserves refer to the amount of money or portion of deposit that the central bank such as the Federal Reserve requires banks to hold and not lend.
In order to determine the largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of $50 deposit, money multiplier is used to multiply the $50 deposit.
The formula for the money multiplier is given as follows:
Money multiplier = 1/r
Where;
r = required reserve ratio = 8%, or 0.08.
Therefore, we have:
Money multiplier = 1 / 0.08 = 12.50
Largest amount of increase = Amount of deposit * Money multiplier = $50 * 12.50 = $625.
Therefore, the largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of the action is $625.
Cammie received 100 NQOs (each option provides a right to purchase 10 shares of MNL stock for $10 per share) at the time she started working for MNL Corporation (5/1/Y1) four years ago when MNL’s stock price was $8 per share. Now that MNL’s stock price is $40 per share (8/15/Y5), she intends to exercise all of her options. After acquiring the 1,000 MNL shares with her options, she held the shares for over one year (10/1/Y6) and sold them at $60 per share.
b. What are MNL Corporation’s tax savings on the grant date (5/1/Y1), exercise date (8/15/Y5), and sale date (10/1/Y6)?
Answer:
b. What are MNL Corporation’s tax savings on the grant date (5/1/Y1), exercise date (8/15/Y5), and sale date (10/1/Y6)?
MNL Corporation will have no tax effects on the grant date and (5/1/Y1) and the date that Cammie sold the stocks (10/1/Y6).
The only tax effect results from the exercise date (8/15/Y5). Tax savings = (total amount of stocks exercised x market price at the time) x marginal tax rate = (1,000 stocks x $40) x tax rate = $40,000 x tax rate
Since no marginal tax rate is given in the question, we can calculate it for different options:
if tax rate = 21%, then tax savings = $40,000 x 21% = $8,400if tax rate = 35%, then tax savings = $40,000 x 35% = $14,000For a stock to be in equilibrium, that is, for there to be no long-term pressure for its price to depart from its current level, then a.the expected future return must be less than the most recent past realized return. b.the past realized return must be equal to the expected return during the same period. c.the expected future returns must be equal to the required return. d.the required return must equal the realized return in all periods. e.the expected return must be equal to both the required future return and the past realized return.
Answer:
c.the expected future returns must be equal to the required return.
Explanation:
When the stock is at equilibrium than the intrinsic value of the stock is equivalent to the market price of the stock that depicts that the expected returns which held in the future should be equivalent to the required return
Therefore the option c is correct
And, the other options that are mentioned in the question are incorrect
For a stock to be in equilibrium, the expected future returns must be equal to the required return.
The correct answer to this question is answer option c. At the equilibrium position there is a balance between the expected returns and the required returns.
At this point the intrinsic value is the same thing as the market value. Telling us that the rate the investor is expecting is the same as the actual required rate of return.

Wagner Enterprises and Stone Services both disposed of an old asset. When completing the journal entry, Wagner Enterprises included a debit to Cash, but Stone Services did not. Why would the companies have this difference in the journal entry
Answer:
Wagner Enterprises and Stone Services
Disposal of old asset:
It could be that Stone Services exchanged its old asset with a new one with a company. In that situation, the debit goes to New Equipment, while the credit is to the old Equipment. Another reason could be that Stone Services sold the old asset on account. In this situation, the debit goes to the Accounts Receivable account, while the old asset is credited accordingly.
Explanation:
When a company disposes of an old asset, it credits the asset account and transfers the amount to the Sale of Asset account. The same is done for the accumulated depreciation, in reverse. When cash is realized from the disposal, the Sale of Asset account is credited, while Cash account is debited. Then, the difference in the Sale of Asset account will be a gain or a loss, depending on the net book value and the cash realized from the sale.

Barbara Hastings has no children of her own, but she does have a beloved niece named Ellen Laughridge. Attentive to the future financial needs of Ellen, Barbara secures a $500,000 life insurance contract from Chameleon Insurance Company, listing Ellen as the sole beneficiary. Barbara has every intention to inform Ellen of her new life insurance policy, but "life gets in the way," and she neglects to do so. Hastings dies on January 15, 2005. As part of her estate distribution, Ellen receives a chest-of-drawers from her dear aunt. On August 29, 2007, while rearranging her clothing in the chest-of-drawers, Ellen comes upon a secret compartment. In the secret compartment is an original copy of the life insurance contract. Ellen is overjoyed to see her name listed as beneficiary, and she contacts Chameleon Insurance Company immediately. Upon review of the policy, Chameleon denies coverage. Chameleon’s claims representative points to Section 15(b) of the policy, which specifically requires notification of the insured’s death no later than one year after death. It has been over two years and seven months since Barbara Hastings died. 1. Will Ellen recover the $500,000 in insurance proceeds? 2. Is it ethical for an insurance company to deny a claim on the basis of a "technicality?"
Answer:
1. Ellen would only be able to recover the $500,000 insurance proceed if she should be able to find a technicality in the insurance company's rules and regulation. This is because, strictly following the rules, there is nothing she can do regarding to the claim.
2. It is not ethical for the insurance company to deny the claim of Ellen on the basis of technicality but when viewed from another perspective, they are strictly following the rules of the insurance organization and applying it to the later. It is now left for the claimant to find another technicality on why he or she must be paid the insurance claim.

assembly, $180,000
setup, $222,600
inspection, $189,000
Fabrication Assembly Setup Inspection
Speedboat 7,000 dlh 22,500 dlh 50 setups 88 inspections
Bass boat 21,000 7,500 370 612
28,000 dlh 30,000 dlh 420 setups 700 inspections
Each product is budgeted for 5,000 units of production for the year.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity using the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
fabrication= 448,000/28,000= $16 per direct labor hour
assembly= 180,000/30,000= $6 per direct labor hour
setup= 222,600/420= $530 per setup
inspection= 189,000/700= $270 per inspection
Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Speed boat:
Allocated MOH= 7,000*16 + 22,500*6 + 50*530 + 88*270= $297,260
Bass boat:
Allocated MOH= 21,000*16 + 7,500*6 + 370*530 + 612*270= $742,340
Finally, the unitary overhead cost:
Speed boat= 297,260/5,000= $59.45
Bass boat= 742,340/5,000= $148.47
Galaxy Corp. is considering opening a new division to make iToys that it expects to sell at a price of $15,250 each in the first year of the project. The company expects the cost of producing each iToy to be $6,700 in the first year; however, it expects the selling price and cost per iToy to increase by 3.00% each year.
Based on the preceding information and rounding dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollars, the company expects the selling price in the fourth year of the project to be_______ , and it expects the cost per unit in the fourth year of the project to be _______.
Answer:
Selling price= $17,164
Unitary variable cost= $7,541
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price in the first year= $15,250
Unitary variable cost on the first year= $6,700
Increase rate= 3%
To calculate the selling price and variable cost per unit in the fourth year, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
PV= current value
i= increase rate
n= number of years
Selling price= 15,250*(1.03^4)= $17,164
Unitary variable cost= 6,700*(1.03^4)= $7,541
Johnson Trucking Company wants to determine a fuel surcharge to add to its customers' bills based on the number of miles driven to each area It wants to separate the fixed and variable portion of the truck's operating costs so it has a better idea of how distance affects these costs. Johnson Trucking Company has the following data available
Month Miles driven Total operating costs
January 16,200 22650
February 17000 23250
March 18400 25450
Apri 16500 22875
May 17400 23550
June 15300 21850
The variable cost per mile using the high-low method is:___________.
A. $1.16
B. $138
C. $1 66
D. $1.43
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $1.16 per mile
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
January 16,200 $22,650
February 17000 $23,250
March 18400 $25,450
Apri 16500 $22,875
May 17400 $23,550
June 15300 $21,850
To calculate the variable cost per mile under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (25,450 - 21,850) / (18,400 - 15,300)
Variable cost per unit= $1.16 per mile
