Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a) The In-house purchasing cost last year is
= Fixed costs + Variable costs
=$85,000 + Total number of purchase orders × cost per order
= $85,000 + 1400 × 15
= $106,000
b)
The outsourcing cost is
Outsourcing cost = Fixed costs +Variable costs
= $100,000 + Total number of purchase orders × cost per order
= $100,000 + 1400 × 5
= $107,000
c) Total number of purchase orders = 1600
In-house purchasing cost = 85,000 + 1600 × $15 = $109000
Outsourcing cost = $100,000 + 1600 × $5 = $108000
Yes, David should outsource as the outsourcing cost is less than the in-house purchasing cost.

Swifty Company's financial information is presented below. Sales Revenue $ p?Cost of Goods Sold 536000 Sales Returns and Allowances 37000 Gross Profit p?Net Sales 868000 The missing amounts above are: Sales Revenue Gross Profit a. $905000 $332,000 b. $832,000 $332,000 c. $ 905,000 $416,000 d. $832,000 $416,000
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
The gross profit is calculated by deducting from net sales the cost of goods sold:
Gross profit= net sales - COGS
Gross profit= 868,000 - 536,000
Gross profit= $332,000
Now, the sales revenues are the sales before returns and allowances. Therefore, we need to add them to the net sales:
Sales revenue= 868,000 + 37,000
Sales revenues= $905,000
Diamond Company has three product lines, A, B, and C. The following financial information is available:
Item Product Line A Product Line B Product Line C
Sales $70,000 $145,000 $32,000
Variable costs $42,000 $77,000 $20,000
Contribution margin $28,000 $68,000 $12,000
Fixed costs:

Unavoidable $5,000 $14,500 $4,000
Pre-tax operating
income $16,700 $34,500 $(-950 )
Assuming that Product Line C is discontinued and the manufacturing space formerly devoted to this line is rented for $6,000 per year, operating income for the company will likely:
a. Increase by $7,200.
b. Increase by $3,300.
c. Increase by some other amount.
,Answer:
See below
Explanation:
A B C
Sales revenue
$70,000 $145,000 $32,000
Variable costs
($42,000) ($77,000) ($20,000)
Contribution margin
$28,000 $68,000 $12,000
Fixed costs
Operating income loss
The total operating income is
= $16,700 + $34,500 + ($950)
= $50,250
Should the fixed cost of C be eliminated, the operating income/(loss) of C
= $6,000 - $950
= $5,050
This is the net increase in the total operating income
In this simulation, theoretical utilization of the intensive care unit (ICU) is calculated as the flow rate of patients that arrive for service at the ICU in a given unit of time divided by the ICU’s capacity to serve customers in that same unit of time. You can think about this as demand/capacity. What is the theoretical utilization of the ICU if the mean inter-arrival time is 4 hour(s), the mean length of stay is 6 hour(s), and there are 4 beds in the ICU?
Answer:
The theoretical utilization of the ICU is:
= 0.25 or 25%
Explanation:
Inter-arrival time or flow rate of patients that arrive for service at the ICU = 4 hours
Mean length of stay = 6 hours
ICU's capacity to serve customers in 6 hours = 4*6 = 24 bed-hours
Total demand = 6 hours
Therefore, the theoretical utilization = flow rate of patients that arrive for service at the ICU in a given unit of time divided by ICU's capacity to serve customers in that same unit of time
= 6 hours/24 bed-hours
= 0.25

Required:
a. Compute the total cost of the entire inventory.
b. Determine whether each inventory item would be reported at cost or market. Multiply the quantity of each inventory item by the appropriate cost or market amount and place the total in the "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" column. Then determine the total for that column.
c. Compare your answers in Requirement 1 and Requirement 2 and then record any necessary adjustment to write down inventory from cost to market value.
d. Discuss the financial statement effects of using lower-of-cost-or-market to report inventory.
Answer:
Explanation:
Since the table doesn't show up correctly, the first dollar value is the Cost per Unit of the vehicle, while the second dollar value is the Market Cost per Vehicle.
a. If we compute the cost using the Cost per Unit then they would be the following.
Vans: 3 * $22,000 = $66,000Trucks: 6 * $17,000 = $102,0002-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,0004-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000Sports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000SUV's: 5 * $28,000 = $140,000Total Inventory: $504,000b. The "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" basically states that whatever of the two prices is lower is ultimately the one that is recorded as the cost. Therefore, under this method the costs would be the following...(Purchase Cost or Market Cost)
Vans: 3 * $20,000 = $60,000 MarketTrucks: 6 * $16,000 = $96,000 Market2-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,000 Purchase Cost4-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000 Purchase CostSports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000 Purchase CostSUV's: 5 * $23,000 = $115,000 MarketTotal Inventory: $504,000 Purchase Costc. There were only 3 changes made from from requirement 1 and 2 these were the changes in total cost...
Vans: $60,000 - $66,000 = - $6000Trucks: $96,000 - $102,000 = - $6000SUV's: $115,000 - $140,000 = - $25,000d. This allows companies to report losses at a much more reasonable and consistent way. Thus allowing profits to be more predictable.
a. Total inventory cost: $504,000
b. Total inventory at lower-of-cost-or-market: $503,000
c. Adjustment to write down inventory: -$37,000
d. Using lower-of-cost-or-market to report inventory allows for more realistic and conservative reporting, reflecting the decrease in market value.
a. If we compute the cost using the Cost per Unit then they would be the following.
Vans: 3 * $22,000 = $66,000
Trucks: 6 * $17,000 = $102,000
2-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,000
4-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000
Sports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000
SUV's: 5 * $28,000 = $140,000
Total Inventory: $504,000
b. The "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" basically states that whatever of the two prices is lower is ultimately the one that is recorded as the cost. Therefore, under this method the costs would be the following...(Purchase Cost or Market Cost)
Vans: 3 * $20,000 = $60,000 (reported at market)
Trucks: 6 * $16,000 = $96,000 (reported at market)
2-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,000 (reported at cost)
4-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000 (reported at cost)
Sports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000 (reported at cost)
SUVs: 5 * $23,000 = $115,000 (reported at market)
Total for "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" column: $60,000 + $96,000 + $24,000 + $112,000 + $96,000 + $115,000 = $503,000
c. The necessary adjustment to write down inventory from cost to market value is as follows:
Vans: -$6,000
Trucks: -$6,000
SUVs: -$25,000
d. Using the lower-of-cost-or-market method to report inventory allows companies to recognize and account for potential declines in the market value of their inventory.
By valuing inventory at the lower cost or market value, it ensures a conservative approach and provides a more accurate representation of the company's financial position.
This approach helps in reflecting the true economic value of inventory and potential losses associated with declines in market value.

Fischer Company has outstanding 8,000 shares of $100 par value, 5% preferred stock, and 50,000 shares of $1 par value common stock. The company has $328,000 of retained earnings. At year-end, the company declares and pays the regular $5 per share cash dividend on preferred stock and a $1.80 per share cash dividend on common stock. What is the total dividends paid by Fischer Company
Answer:
The appropriate solution is "$130,000".
Explanation:
The given values are:
No. of common shares outstanding
= 50,000
Dividend per share
= $1.80
No. of preferred shares outstanding
= 8,000
Dividend per share
= $5
Now,
The total dividend on common shares will be:
= [tex]No. \ of \ common \ shared \ outstanding\times Dividend \ per \ share[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]50,000\times 1.80[/tex]
= [tex]90,000[/tex] ($)
The total dividend on preferred stock will be:
= [tex]No. \ of \ preferred \ shares \ outstanding\times Divided \ per \ share[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]8,000\times 5[/tex]
= [tex]40,000[/tex] ($)
Hence,
The total dividend paid by company will be:
= [tex]Total \ dividend \ on \ common \ shares +Total \ dividend \ on \ preferred \ stock[/tex]
= [tex]90,000+40,000[/tex]
= [tex]130,000[/tex] ($)
Thus the above is the correct answer.

TPW, a calendar year taxpayer, sold land with a $549,000 tax basis for $820,000 in February. The purchaser paid $89,000 cash at closing and gave TPW an interest-bearing note for the $731,000 remaining price. In August, TPW received a $60,550 payment from the purchaser consisting of a $36,550 principal payment and a $24,000 interest payment. Assume that TPW uses the installment sale method of accounting.
a. Compute the difference between TPW's book and tax income resulting from the installment sale method.
b. Is this difference favorable or unfavorable?
c. Using a 21 percent tax rate, compute PTR's deferred tax asset or liability (identify which) resulting from the book/tax difference.
Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.
Required A Required B Required C
Compute the difference between TPW's book and tax income resulting from the installment sale method. (Round gross profit percentage to 2 decimal places, and intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Book/tax difference
Answer:
a. Difference between book income and tax income = $229,505.73
b. The difference between book income and tax income is favorable.
c. Deferred tax liability = $48,196.20
Explanation:
a. Compute the difference between TPW's book and tax income resulting from the installment sale method.
This can be computed as follows:
Amount realized on sale of land = Cash paid by purchaser + Value of interest- bearing note given by the purchaser = $89,000 + $731,000 = $820,000
Adjusted tax basis in land = $549,000
Book income = Amount realized on sale of land - adjusted tax basis in hand = $820,000 - $549,000 = $271,000
Gross profit percent = Book income / Amount realized on sale of land = $271,000 / $820,000 = 0.3305, or 33.05%
Cash received on sale of land = Cash paid by purchaser + Principal payment received in August = $89,000 + $36,550 = $125,550
Tax income =Cash received on sale of land * Gross profit percent = $125,550 * 33.05% = $41,494.28
Difference between book income and tax income = Book income - Tax income = $271,000 - $41,494.28 = $229,505.73
b. Is this difference favorable or unfavorable?
Since the book income greater than the tax income, this implies that the difference between book income and tax income is favorable.
c. Using a 21 percent tax rate, compute PTR's deferred tax asset or liability (identify which) resulting from the book/tax difference.
Deferred tax liability = Difference between book income and tax income * 21% = $229,505.73 * 21% = $48,196.20

The country of Lessidinia has a tax system identical to that of the United States. Suppose someone in Lessidinia bought a parcel of land for 20,000 foci (the local currency) in 1960 when the price index equaled 100. In 2002, the person sold the land for 100,000 foci, and the price index equaled 600. The tax rate on nominal gains was 20 percent. Compute the taxes on the nominal gain and the change in the real value of the land in terms of 2002 prices to find the after-tax real rate of capital gain.
Answer: -30%
Explanation:
The Nominal gain is:
= 100,000 - 20,000
= 80,000 foci
Tax on nominal gain:
= 20% * 80,000
= 16,000 foci
After tax nominal value of land:
= 100,000 - 16,000
= 84,000 foci
The real value given the price index is:
= 84,000 / 600 * 100
= 14,000 foci
After tax real rate of cap. gain:
= (14,000 - 20,000) / 20,000
= -30%

Answer:
$809,000
Explanation:
Bliss madison offers $2,000,000 new stocks
He pays $291,000 in cash dividend
The company took advantage of the falling interest rate to borrow $1,600,000
They paid off bonds with an existing face value of $2,500,000
Therefore the net cash flow can be calculated as follows
= 2,000,000-291,000+1,600,000-2,500,000
= 809,000
Hence the net cash flow is $809,000
On January 1, 2021, Canseco Plumbing Fixtures purchased equipment for $40,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated 7 year service life is expected to be $12,000. The company expects the equipment to operate for 12,500 hours. Required: a. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022 using sum-of-the-years’-digits assuming the equipment was purchased on January 1, 2021. b. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022 using sum-of-the-years’-digits assuming the equipment was purchased on March 31, 2021.
Answer:
Part a
2021 = $7,000
2022 = $6,000
Part b
2021 = $5,250
Explanation:
Sum of the year`s digit method provide for higher depreciation in early life of the asset with lower depreciation in later years.
Step 1
Some of digits calculation :
Year Digits
2021 7
2022 6
2023 5
2024 4
2025 3
2026 2
2027 1
Total 28
Step 2
Determine the depreciable amount
Depreciable amount = Cost - Residual value
= $40,000 - $12,000
= $28,000
Step 3
Depreciation expense calculations
2021 = 7 / 28 x $28,000 = $7,000
2022 = 6/ 28 x $28,000 = $6,000
assuming the equipment was purchased on March 31, 2021
2021 = $7,000 x 9/12 = $5,250
Zeibart Company purchases equipment for $225,000 on July 1, 2016, with an estimated useful life of 10 years and expected salvage value of $25,000. Straight-line depreciation is used. On July 1, 2020, economic factors cause the market value of the equipment to decline to $90,000. On this date, Zeibart examines the equipment for impairment and estimates $125,000 in future cash inflows related to use of this equipment.
Required:
a. Is the equipment impaired at July 1, 2020?
b. If the equipment is impaired on July I, 2020, compute the impairment loss and prepare a journal entry to record the loss.
Answer:
a. Yes, the equipment is impaired at July 1, 2020.
b. Impairment loss is $20,000. And the journal entries are as follows:
Debit Impairment loss for $20,000
Debit Accumulated depreciation for $80,000
Credit Equipment for $100,000
Explanation:
a. Is the equipment impaired at July 1, 2020?
This can be determined as follows:
Annual depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life = ($225,000 - $25,000) / 10 = $20,000
Accumulated depreciation till July 1, 2020 = Annual depreciation * Number of years from July 1, 2016 to July 1, 2000 = $20,000 * 4 = $80,000
Net book value at July 1, 2020 = Cost - Accumulated depreciation till July 1, 2020 = $225,000 - $80,000 = $145,000
Equipment recoverable amount = Estimated future cash inflows related to use of the equipment = $125,000
Since the net book value of $145,000 is greater than the recoverable amount of the equipment of $125,000, this implies that the equipment is impaired at July 1, 2020.
b. If the equipment is impaired on July I, 2020, compute the impairment loss and prepare a journal entry to record the loss.
Accumulated depreciation till July 1, 2020 = $80,000
Estimated future cash inflows related to use of the equipment = $125,000
Fair market value = $90,000
Recoverable amount = Higher of estimated future cash inflows related to use of the equipment or Fair market value = $125,000
Net book value at July 1, 2020 = $145,000
Impairment loss = Net book value at July 1, 2020 - Recoverable amount = $145,000 - $125,000 = $20,000
The journal entries will then look as follows:
Date Details Debit ($) Credit ($)
01 Jul 2020 Impairment loss 20,000
Accumulated depreciation 80,000
Equipment 100,000
(To record impairment loss.)
All of the following lead people to be credit constrained except a person's credit history. savings. collateral. banking regulations. b. The most important consequence of credit constraints on individuals is difficulty in obtaining gainful employment. an ability to retire at an earlier age. lower interest rates on bank loans. an inability to smooth consumption.
Answer:
Banking regulations Lower interest rates on bank loans.Explanation:
Being credit constrained means that one is unable to borrow because the lenders do not think the individual is capable of paying back.
A person's credit history, savings level and collateral are all very useful in determining if they have the ability to pay back debt. Banking regulations do not directly lead to a credit constraint.
Lower interests on bank loans is only given to more creditworthy entities whom the bank feels will be able to pay back. A credit constrained person is risky and will therefore draw a higher rate from banks to balance that risk.
Credit constraints mean the inability of a person to borrow money from the market. the banking regulations and lower interest rates are the exceptions for persons credit-constrained.
What is credit constrained?It is the inability of a borrower to borrow more money from the lender because, in the opinion of the lender, the borrower does not have the creditworthiness that he/she would pay the debt in time.
The following are the exception to persons being credit-constrained :
The Banking regulationsBank loan with lower interest rate.Therefore, it can be said the above option aptly explains the exception that leads to persons being credit-constrained :

Explanation:
number of clerical staffs present = 122 staffs
number of clerical staffs needed in 3 years
= 122 - ( 20% * 122 ) = 97.6 ≈ 98 staffs
next : lets project the number of employees in next three years considering the voluntary and involuntary turnovers
= 122*(1-2%)^3 * (((1-7%)^3)/3 + ((1-6%)^3)/3 + ((1-5%)^3)/3)
= 95.4 ≈ 94 staffs
since the projected number of employees is < number of clerical staffs needed in 3 years, There will be a labor shortage

Mary Willis is the advertising manager for Bargain Shoe Store. She is currently working on a major promotional campaign. Her ideas include the installation of a new lighting system and increased display space that will add $57,600 in fixed costs to the $387,600 currently spent. In addition, Mary is proposing that a 5% price decrease ($60 to $57) will produce a 20% increase in sales volume (20,000 to 24,000). Variable costs will remain at $36 per pair of shoes. Management is impressed with Maryâs ideas but concerned about the effects that these changes will have on the break-even point and the margin of safety.
Q1) Compute the current break-even point in units, and compare it to the break-even point in units if Maryâs ideas are used. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1,225.)
Q2) Compute the margin of safety ratio for current operations and after Maryâs changes are introduced. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 15%.))
Q3Prepare a CVP income statement for current operations and after Maryâs changes are introduced.
Answer:
1. Current BEP is 16,150 units that increases to 21,200 units.
2. Current margin of safety is 19% that falls to 12%
Explanation:
1. Current break-even point = Fixed cost / contribution margin
Fixed cost = $387600
Contribution margin = Sales price - variable cost
= 60 - 36 = $24
Current BEP = 387600 / 24 = 16,150 units
BEP if Maryas ideas are used:
Fixed cost = 57600 + 387600 = $445,200
Contribution margin = 57 - 36 = $21
BEP = 445200 / 21 = 21,200 units
BEP increases to 21,200 units from 16,150 units in case Maryas ideas are used.
2. Current Margin of safety Ratio = Actual sales - BEP / Actual sales
= 20,000 - 16,150 / 20,000
= 3850/20000
= 0.1925 or 19%
Margin if safety if Maryas ideas used = 24000 - 21200 / 24000
= 2800/24000
= 0.1167 or 12%
Margin of safety falls to 12% from 19% if Maryas ideas are used.
3. Current income statement
Sales (20,000 * 60) $1,200,000
less: Variable expense $720,000
(20,000*36)
Contribution margin $480,000
less Fixed expense $387,600
Net income $92,400
Income statement after Maryas ideas
Sales (24,000 * 57) $1,368,000
less: Variable expense $864,000
(24,000*36)
Contribution margin $504,000
less Fixed expense $445,200
Net income $58,800

On January 1, Year 1, Milton Manufacturing Company purchased equipment with a list price of $31,000. A total of $2,800 was paid for installation and testing. During the first year, Milton paid $4,200 for insurance on the equipment and another $640 for routine maintenance and repairs. Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and estimated salvage value is $5,600. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units. What is the amount of depreciation for Year 1
Answer:
the amount of depreciation for Year 1 is $3,948
Explanation:
Step 1 : Determine Cost of Equipment
Cost according to IAS 16 means purchase price plus other costs directly incurred in bringing the asset to location and condition of use as intended by management.
Purchase Price $31,000
Installation and testing $2,800
Total Cost $ 33,800
Step 2 : Determine the depletion rate
Depletion rate = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated Production
= ($ 33,800 - $5,600) ÷ 100,000 units
= 0.282
Step 3 : Determine the Depreciation Expense
Depreciation Expense = Depletion rate x Units Produced
= 0.282 x 14,000 units
= $3,948
Conclusion
the amount of depreciation for Year 1 is $3,948
Assume that a business has $50000 of current assets and $40000 of current liabilities. What is the company’s current ratio?

Prepare a statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, using the indirect method.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 using the indirect method.
Cash flow from operating activities:
Net loss = $12,000
Adjustment to reconcile net loss with cash flows from operating activities:
Depreciation = ($20,000 + $10,000 - $13,000) = $7,000
Loss on sale of land = $2,000
Increase in accounts receivable = ($20,000)
Increase in prepaid expense = ($5,000)
Increase in accounts payable = $6,000
Net cash used in operating activities = ($12,000)
Cash flow from investing activities
Sale of land = ($40,000 - $18,000 - $2,000) = $20,000
Sale of equipment = $5,000
Net cash generated by investing activities = $25,000
Cash flow from financing activities
Retirement of bond = ($12,000)
Proceeds from issuance of bonds = $20,000
Net cash used by financing activities = $8,000
Net increase in cash = $6,000
Add: beginning cash balance = $31,000
Ending cash balance = $37,000
Workings
• Calculation of depreciation
The accumulated depreciation at the end of the year 2020 = ($20,000)
Hence;
Accumulated depreciation at the end of the year 2020 = ($13,000)
Increase in accumulated depreciation during 2020 = $20,000 - $13,000 = $7,000
Add: accumulated depreciation on equipment sold during 2017 = $10,000
Total depreciation expense for 2020 = $7,000 + $10,000 = $17,000
• Calculation of proceeds from sale of land:
Cost of land = $40,000 - $18,000 = $22,000
Loss on sale of land = $2,000
Therefore,
Proceeds from sale of land = cost of land sold - loss on sale of land
= $22,000 - $2,000
= $20,000
• Calculation of issuance of bonds payable during 2020
The bonds payable at the end of year 2019 = $19,000
Hence,
Bonds payable at the end of year 2020 = $27,000
Retirement of bonds during year 2020 = $12,000
Therefore,
Bonds issued during 2020 = $27,000 + $12,000 - $19,000 = $20,000
