You are given three options. You may have the balance in an account that has been collecting 5 percent interest for 20 years, the balance in an account that has been collecting 10 percent interest for 10 years, or the balance in an account that has been collecting 20 percent interest for five years. Each account had the same original balance. Which account now has the lowest balance
Answer:
Third account has the lowest balance that is 2.49P.
Explanation:
First option,
Given interest rate = 5%
Time period = 20 years
Let the initial amount ( present value ) = P
First Account,
Given interest rate (n )= 5%
Time period (n ) = 20 years
Let the initial amount ( present value ) = P
Now find the Future value = PV(1+ r)^n
= P ( 1 + 5%)^20
= 2.65P
Second account:
Given interest rate (n ) = 10%
Time period (n ) = 100 years
Let the initial amount ( present value ) = P
Now find the Future value = PV(1+ r)^n
= P ( 1 + 10%)^10
= 2.59P
Thirs account:
Given interest rate (n ) = 20%
Time period (n ) = 5 years
Let the initial amount ( present value ) = P
Now find the Future value = PV(1+ r)^n
= P ( 1 + 20%)^5
= 2.49P
Suppose you inherited $275,000 and invested it at 8.25% per year. How much could you withdraw at the end of each of the next 20 years
Answer:
$28,533.5
Explanation:
Principal value (PV) = $275,000
Time = 20 years
Rate = 8.25%
Present Value = P ((1-(1+R)^-n) / r)
275,000 = P ((1- (1 + 0.0825)^-20) /.0825)
275,000 x .0825 = P (1-(1/1.0825)^20)
22687.5 = P ((1.0825^20 - 1) / (1.0825 ^20))
22687.50 = P (4.8816 - 1 / 4.8816)
22687.5 = P (3.886 / 4.8816)
22687.5 = p(0.7951)
P = 22687.5 / 0.7951
P = $28533.5
Genent Industries, Inc. (GII), developed standard costs for direct material and direct labor. In 2017, GII estimated the following standard costs for one of their major products, the 30−gallon heavy−duty plastic container. Budgeted quantity Budgeted price Direct materials 0.3 pounds $20 per pound Direct labor 0.7 hours $20 per hour During July, GII produced and sold 4,000 containers using 1,500 pounds of direct materials at an average cost per pound of $17 and 2,875 direct manufacturing labor hours at an average wage of $20.50 per hour. July's direct material flexible−budget variance is ________.
Answer:
July's direct material flexible−budget variance is $ 1500.unfav
Explanation:
Genent Industries, Inc. (GII),
Budgeted quantity Budgeted price
Direct materials 0.3 pounds $20 per pound
Direct labor 0.7 hours $20 per hour
Actual Price for 15000 pounds and 2,875 DLH
Direct Materials $17 per pound
Direct manufacturing labor hours wages $20.50 per hour.
July's direct material flexible−budget variance is $ 1500. unfav
Budgeted Cost for 4000 containers -Actual Cost for 4000 containers
= $ 24000- $ 25500 = $ 1500
Since the actual cost is greater it is unfavorable
Flexible Budget Variance is obtained by subtracting actual costs from flexible budget costs at a given volume.
1 container requires 0.3 pounds
4000 containers require 0.3 * 4000= 1200 pounds
But actually 1500 pounds were used .
Now costs
Budgeted Costs for 1200 pounds is = 20 *1200= $24000
Actual Costs for 1500 pounds is = 17* 1500 = $ 25 500

Montel Company’s July sales budget calls for sales of $630,000. The store expects to begin July with $63,000 of inventory and to end the month with $37,000 of inventory. Gross margin is typically 20% of sales. Determine the budgeted cost of merchandise purchases for July.
Answer:
Budgeted cost of merchandise purchases =$499,000
Explanation:
The expected units of a product that a business estimates to purchase given its sales budget and inventory is known as the purchases budget.
The purchases budget can bed determined by adjusting the sales budget for closing and opening inventories.
Purchases budget = Sales budget +closing inventory - opening inventory
Note that the sales was given in selling price terms while the inventories in cost terms, hence there is a need to work out the cost of the sales using the 20% margin
Cost of the sales = 100/120× 630,000 =$ 525000
Opening inventory =63,000
Closing inventory = 37,000
Budgeted cost of merchandise purchases:
= 525000 + 37,000 - 63,000= $499,000
Budgeted cost of merchandise purchases =$499,000
The depreciation method that produces larger depreciation expense during the early years of an asset's life and smaller expense in the later years is a(an):
Answer:
Accelerated depreciation method
Explanation:
Accelerated depreciation is a method of depreciation in which the assets lost his purchase price or book value at the speedy rate as compared with the straight-line method.
And it generates a larger amount of expenses during the early period and the smaller amount of expenses in the later year so that it can be decreased the taxable income
You used to earn $76,000 a year in your old job! Suppose you return to college and earn an MBA, after which you get an upper-management position with Yum! Brands. If the tax rates are the same as in 2012 and your starting salary is $125,000, how much will you owe in federal social insurance taxes?
Answer:
Federal social insurance taxes include OASDI taxes (Social Security) and Medicare taxes. Currently. In 2012, the Social Security tax limit was $110,100, while their was no limit on Medicare.
The Social Security tax rate was temporarily reduced during 2011 and 2012 from 6.2% to 4.2%, so your Social Security tax withholdings were $4,624.20 in 2012.
Medicare taxes did not change in 2012 and were 1.45%, so your Medicare tax withholding were $1,812.50 in 2012.
Airco Company is tempted to consider support department costs to be facility-level costs that do not need to be applied to products. Which of the following explains what is misguided about this approach?
1. Product costs may be inaccurate because straight-line depreciation on factory equipment is treated as a genera and administrative expense on the income statement.
2. Product costs may be inaccurate because support department services may be used more heavily by some products than others.
3. Product costs may be inaccurate because incorrect cost drivers are used.
4. Product costs may be inaccurate because direct labor and direct materials are not correctly accounted for in thu product costing system.
Answer:
Option 2. Product costs may be inaccurate because support department services may be used more heavily by some products than others.
Explanation:
Option 1 is not a misguide about this approach as all the depreciation costs are considered as general or administration expenses.
Option 3 is incorrect because cost drivers of cost pools are always accurate, they can not be used inaccurately while using Activity Based Costing.
Option 4 is also incorrect because direct costs are prime cost which are easily attributable to products and in this scenario, the indirect costs are considered inappropriate to be assigned to the product cost.
Option 2 is correct because considering support department costs to be facility-level costs would result in inappropriate cost allocations to some products as a single appropriate basis would be used to allocate the support department services cost to each product. This means if appropriate basis is not chosen correctly then this would result in inaccurate allocation as some of the products will be using the support services heavily than others.

At first, it might seem that valuable commodities, such as cattle or lead bars, might be good forms of money. What makes paper money preferable to these alternatives
Answer:
This questions is incomplete, the options are missing. The options are the following:
a) It is less likely to be stolen.
b) It has more intrinsic value than cattle or lead bars.
c) It is divisible (unlike cattle) and easily portable (unlike lead bars).
And the correct answer is the option C: It is divisible (unlike cattle) and easily portable (unlike lead bars).
Explanation:
To begin with, the current paper money that is used nowadays has a lot of benefits in comparison with those other material valuable commodities due to the fact of all the characteristics that the paper money has. In addition, this currency is much more divisible than those other due to the fact that a one hundred dollar paper could turn into two fifty dollars papers. Besides, the paper money is much more portable than those others and the person could even carry more value in paper money than the same value but with those other commodities. And finally, the paper money is much more liquid than those other goods, so that indicates that is extremely easy to exchange for other thing, while the other options are not.

A company is considering two options for the production of a part needed downstream
in the manufacturing process. Particulars are as follows:
Specialized automation: Fixed Costs = $9,000 / month Variable Cost / Unit = $2
General automation: Fixed Costs = $3,000 / month Variable Cost / Unit = $5
1. What is the monthly break-even quantity for choosing between the two automation approaches?
a. 1,000 units
b. 2,000 units
c. 6,000 units
d. 12,000 units
2. For a monthly volume of 3,000 units, which automation approach should be chosen?
a. Specialized automation
b. General automation
c. Either approach is acceptable, because costs are the same for either option at 3,000 units.
d. Can’t be determined with information given.
Answer:
1= B
2= A
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Specialized automation:
Fixed Costs = $9,000 / month
Variable Cost / Unit = $2
General automation:
Fixed Costs = $3,000 / month
Variable Cost / Unit = $5
First, we need to structure the costs formula:
Specialized automation:
Total cost= 9,000 + 2x
x= production
General automation:
Total cost= 3,000 + 5x
x= production
To calculate the indifference point, we need to equal both formulas:
9,000 + 2x = 3,000 + 5x
6,000=3x
2,000= x
The indifference point is 2,000 units.
Finally, we need to calculate which process is more convenient for 3,000 units:
Specialized automation:
Total cost= 9,000 + 2*3,000= $15,000
General automation:
Total cost= 3,000 + 5*3,000= $18,000

An optimum that occurs as a corner solution A. cannot exhaust the budget constraint. B. includes only one good. C. cannot be an equilibrium. D. includes the exact same amounts of each good.
Answer:
B. includes only one good.
Explanation:
A corner solution is a microeconomics concept, which is used to illustrate the graphical representation of a situation where an individual wouldn't do some things at any cost or for any price.
Optimum is usually experienced on the consumer graph at the point where the indifference curve (IC) is just tangential to the consumer's budget constraint. Thus, the corner solution lies at the non-zero interior, which then means that none of the other goods is contained in the optimum.
Hence, an optimum that occurs as a corner solution includes only one good.
For instance, Tracy saying she wouldn't buy a XYZ phone for any price, or Sarah saying she would visit a museum no matter how much it will cost her are some examples of corner solution.

F Mining has $6 million in sales, its ROE is 20%, and its total assets turnover is 3.2x. The company has 40% equity financed (i.e., equity multiplier is 2.5). What is its net income? (DuPont analysis)
Answer:
$0.15 million
Explanation:
The formula for ROE can be used as a stepping stone to determining the value of net income:
ROE=Profit margin*Total asset turnover*Equity multiplier
ROE is 20%
total asset turnover is 3.2
equity multiplier is 2.5
20%=profit margin*3.2*2.5
20%=profit margin*8
profit margin=20%/8=2.5%
The formula for profit margin can now be used to determine net income.
profit margin=net income/sales
2.5%=net income/$6 million
net income=$6 million*2.5%
net income=$0.15 million
The Mixing Department of Complete Foods had 62,000 units to account for in October. Of the 62,000 units, 38,000 units were completed and transferred to the nest department, and 24,000 units were 20% complete. All of the materials are added at the beginning of the process.

OceanGate sells external hard drives for $200 each. Its total fixed costs are $30 million, and its variable costs per unit are $140. The corporate tax rate is 30%. If the economy is strong, the firm will sell 2 million drives, but if there is a recession, it will sell only half as many.
a. What is the firm's degree of operating leverage in going from a recession to a strong economy?
b. If the economy enters a recession, what will be the firm's after-tax profit?
Answer:
a) 1.33
b) $21,000,000
Explanation:
EBIT in normal economy = (total units sold x contribution margin) - total fixed costs = (2,000,000 x $60) - $30,000,000 = $90,000,000
EBIT in recessive economy = (total units sold x contribution margin) - total fixed costs = (1,000,000 x $60) - $30,000,000 = $30,000,000
degree of operating leverage = % change in EBIT / % change in sales
% change in EBIT = ($30 - $90) / $90 = -66.67%% change in sales = (1 - 2) / 2 = -50%degree of operating leverage = -66.67% / -50% = 1.33
firm's after tax profit in a recession = EBIT x (1 - tax rate) = $30,000,000 x 0.7 = $21,000,000
A buyer is getting a fully amortized loan for $220,000. The bank will give the buyer the loan for 15 years at 5 1/2% or for 30 years at 6 1/2%. To the nearest dollar, what is the difference between the monthly payments for these two loans?
Answer:
Difference in monthly payment=$407.0339
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The monthly installment is computed as follows:
Monthly installment= Loan amount/annuity factor
Loan amount; =220,000
Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r
r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months
First option
monthly interest rate = 5.5% =0.458 %, n- 15×12
Annuity factor= (1-(1+0.055)^(-180 )/0.055 =122.38
Monthly repayment = 220,000/122.386 = 1797.58
Second option
r- 6.5%/12 = 0.542 % n = 15×12 = 180
Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+0.00542)^(-360))/0.005 42= 158.21
Monthly installment = 220,000/1390.549 = 1390.54
Difference in monthly payment = 1,797.583 - 1390.54 = 407.0339
Difference in monthly payment=407.0339
On January 1, 1999, Luciano deposits 90 into an investment account. On April 1, 1999, when the amount in Luciano’s account is equal to X, a withdrawal of W is made. No further deposits or withdrawals are made to Luciano’s account for the remainder of the year. On December 31, 1999, the amount in Luciano’s account is 85. The dollar-weighted return over the 1-year period is 20%. The time-weighted return over the 1-year period is 16%. Calculate X.
Answer:
X = 107.63
Explanation:
From the given information:
The amount of interest earned on this account will be:
= 85 + W - 90
= W - 5
However; the dollar weight return rate is:
[tex]\dfrac{(W-5)}{(90 - \dfrac{3}{4*W})} = 0.2[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{(W-5)}{(90 - 0.75W})} = 0.2[/tex]
W - 5 = 0.2(90 - 0.75W)
W - 5 = 18 - 0.15 W
W + 0.15 W = 18 + 5
1.15 W = 23
W = 23/1.15
W = 20
The time weighted return rate can be computed as:
[tex]0.16 = \dfrac{X}{90} \times \dfrac{85}{X-20} -1[/tex]
[tex]1+0.16 = \dfrac{X}{90} \times \dfrac{85}{X-20}[/tex]
[tex]1.16 = \dfrac{X}{90} \times \dfrac{85}{X-20}[/tex]
1.16×((90)(X-20)) = 85X
1.16 × (90X - 1800) = 85X
104.4X - 2088 = 85 X
104.4X - 85 X = 2088
19.4X = 2088
X = 2088/19.4
X = 107.628866
X = 107.63

Determine how many of each plant stand Bobby needs to sell to breakeven. Begin by computing the weighted-average contribution margin per unit. First identify the formula labels, then complete the calculations step by step.
Answer:
For twig stands= 24 units.
For oak stand = 6 units.
Explanation:
From the question above we are given that the Sale price for Twig and Oak plant stand are 15.00 and 42.00. We are also given that the Variable cost for Twig and Oak plant stand are 2.00 and 19.00 per unit. Thus, the value for the Contribution Margin per unit can be calculated by just subtracting Variable cost for Twig and Oak plant stand from Sale price for Twig and Oak plant stand, that is;
Contribution Margin per unit = (Sale price for Twig and Oak plant) - (Variable cost for Twig and Oak plant stand).
Contribution Margin per unit for Twig = 15.00 - 2.00 = 13.00 and the Contribution Margin per unit for oak = 42.00 - 19.00 = 23.00.
From the question, we are given that the Sales mix in units is 4(twig) and 1(oak) = 4 + 1 = 5.
Thus, the contribution margin for twig = sales mix for twig × Contribution Margin per unit for Twig = 4 × 13 = 52.
Also, the contribution margin for oak = sales mix for oak × Contribution Margin per unit for oak = 1 × 23 = 23.
Total = 52 + 23 = 75.
Hence, the Weighted Average Contribution per unit = 75 / 5 = 15.
Total Break even Sales = 450/15 = 30 units.
Thus, for twig stand; 30 × 4/5 = 24 units.
For oak = 30 × 1/5 = 6 units.

Explanation:
If the wages of factory worker increases, it becomes more expensive to hire workers, the cost of production increases and the demand for labour would fall. as a result, production would fall and the supply of tablets would fall. a decrease in supply leads to an inward shift of the supply curve. as a result of the fall in supply, quantity would fall and there would be a rise in price.
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good. If the price of notebooks falls, it becomes cheaper to purchase notebooks, so the quantity demanded of notebooks would rise and the demand for tablets would fall since it is cheaper to buy a tablet. the demand curve for tablets would shift in as a result of the fall in demand. As a result, price and quantity of tablets would fall.
Increase in the number of manufactures would lead to an increase in supply. this would cause a rise in the supply of tablets. when there is a rise in supply, the supply curve shifts out, prices fall and quantity increases.
the new game would increase demand for tablets because people would be interested in playing the game. as a result of the rise in demand, the demand curve would shift out, the quantity would rise and prices would rise
A complement is a good that is consumed together with another good. if the price of apps rise, it would become more expensive to buy apps as result the demand for tablets would fall. the demand curve would shift in and price and quantity would fall
When the wages of factory worker increases, it becomes more expensive to hire workers, also the cost of production increases, and also the demand for labor would fall. as a result, when the production would fall also the supply of tablets would fall. when a decrease in supply leads to an inward shift of the supply curve. Although as a result of the fall in supply, the quantity would fall, and also there would be a price rise.
When Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good. also If the price of notebooks falls, it becomes cheaper to purchase notebooks, so the quantity demanded of notebooks would rise, and also the demand for tablets would fall since it is cheaper to buy a tablet. the demand curve for tablets would shift in as a result of the fall in demand. So As a result, the price and also the number of tablets would fall.
When Increase in the number of manufacturers would lead to an increase in supply. this would cause a rise in the supply of tablets. when there are a rise in supply, the supply curve shifts out, prices fall, and also quantity increases.
When the new game would increase demand for tablets because people would be interested in playing the game. So as a result of the rise in demand, the demand curve would shift out, the quantity would rise and also prices would rise
Thus A complement is a good that is consumed together with another good. if the price of apps rises, it would become more expensive to buy apps as a result the demand for tablets would fall. Then the demand curve would shift in and price and also quantity would fall

Sales revenue $350,000 Accounts receivable $280,000 Ending inventory $230,000 Cost of goods sold $180,000 Sales returns $50,000 Sales discount $20,000 What is the gross profit?
Answer:
$100,000
Explanation:
The computation of gross profit is shown below:-
Gross profit = (Sales revenue - Sales return - Sales discount) - Cost of goods sold
= ($350,000 - $50,000 - $20,000) - $180,000
= $280,000 - $180,000
= $100,000
Therefore we simply applied the above formula for determining the gross profit

Haver Company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 70,000 units of RX5 follows.
Direct materials $ 4.00
Direct labor 8.00
Overhead 9.00
Total costs per unit 21.00
Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 80% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 70,000 units of RX5 for $20.00 per unit.
Required:
1. Calculate the incremental costs of making and buying component RX5.
Total incremental costs of: Making the units Buying the units
Total direct materials $ 244,000 $ 0
Total direct labor 488,000 0
Variable overhead costs 122,000 0
Cost to buy the units 1,159,000
Total costs $ 854,000 $ 1,159,000
Should the company continue to manufacture the part,
or should it buy the part from the outside supplier? Make the units
Answer:
1.Incremental cost of making and buying the RX5 is $434,000
2. Since the cost of buying is more than the cost of producing by $305,000, therefore, the company should continue to produce the component parts.
Explanation:
1.We need to first compute the cost of making the component part.
Cost of making are;
Direct material = 70,000 units × $4
= $280,000
Direct labor = $70,000 units × $8
= $560,000
Variable over head cost = 70,000 units × $9 × 20%
= $126,000
Therefore, total cost of making the components = direct material cost + direct labor cost + variable overhead cost
= $280,000 + $560,000 + $126,000
= $966,000
Also, total cost of buying the components
= Units × RX5 per unit
= 70,000 × $20
= $1,400,000
Therefore,
Incremental cost = Cost of making - Cost of buying
= $966,000 - $1,400,000
=$434,000
2. Total costs of making the units = Total direct material cost + Total direct labor costs + Variable overhead costs
= $244,000 + 488,000 + $122,000
= $854,000
Since total cost to buy is $1,159,000
Total incremental cost = Total cost of making the units - Total cost of buying the units
= $854,000 - $1,159,000
= $305,000
