What is the direct materials quantity variance for the month?
A) $ 850 favorable
B) $ 850 unfavorable
C) $ 1,950 favorable
D) $ 1,950 unfavorable
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $850 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard tons of direct material (steel) per car 4
Standard cost per ton of steel $ 17.00
During March, the company produced 1,650 cars.
Actual materials purchased and used (tons) 6,650
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (4*1,650 - 6,650)*17
Direct material quantity variance= $850 unfavorable

When the interest rate is above the equilibrium level, a. the quantity of money that people want to hold is less than the quantity of money that the Federal Reserve has supplied. b. people respond by buying interest-bearing bonds or by depositing money in interest-bearing bank accounts. c. bond issuers and banks respond by lowering the interest rates they offer. d. All of the above are correct.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
When interest rate is above the equilibrium level, people would be less willing to hold cash. Instead they would prefer to save or invest in interest-bearing bonds. This is because as a result of the higher interest rate, interest paid on their deposit and investment would be higher.
As a result of the increase in savings, there would be an increase in the supply of loanable funds over demand for loanable funds. This would lead to a reduction in interest rate until equilibrium interest rate is reached.
SAP Inc. received a $1.5 million grant under its Small Business Innovation program. SAP invested the grant money and developed a system to remove metal contaminants from storm water in shipyards. The firm estimates that each shipyard spends $500,000 a year on storm water clean-up efforts. If SAP is able to sign up and retain four shipyards in the first year onwards, what is the present value (PV) of the project (net of investment) if the cost of capital for SAP is 14% per year
Answer: $12,785,714
Explanation:
Present value of project:
= Revenue / Cost of capital
= (500,000 * 4 shipyards) / 14%
= $14,285,714
Net of investment:
= 14,285,714 - 1,500,000
= $12,785,714

Diamond Boot Factory normally sells its specialty boots for $22 a pair. An offer to buy 120 boots for $18 per pair was made by an organization hosting a national event in Norfolk. The variable cost per boot is $8, and special stitching will add another $2 per pair to the cost. Determine the differential income or loss per pair of boots from selling to the organization.
Answer:
Differential income = $960
Explanation:
In a special order decision , the offer should be accepted if the sales revenue from the order is greater than the relevant costs of the special orders.
The relevant costs of the special order = variable cost + additional cost of special stitching machine
$
Sales revenue (120× $18) 2,160
The relevant costs of the special order
= (120×8) + (120×2) (1,200)
Differential income 960
At the beginning of year 1, Kare Company initiated a quality improvement program. Considerable effort was expended over two years to reduce the number of defective units produced. By the end of the second year, reports from the production manager revealed that scrap and rework had both decreased. The president of the company was pleased to hear of the success but wanted some assessment of the financial impact of the improvements. To make this assessment, the following financial data were collected for the two years. Year 1 Year 2 Sales $ 10,000,000 $ 10,000,000 Scrap 400,000 300,000 Rework 600,000 400,000 Product inspection 100,000 125,000 Product warranty 800,000 600,000 Quality training 40,000 80,000 Materials inspection 60,000 40,000 Required: a. Classify the costs as prevention, appraisal, internal failure, and external failure. b-1. Compute total quality cost as a percentage of sales for each of the two years. b-2. By how much has profit increased because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2
Answer:
a. The costs can be classified as follows:
Prevention: Quality training
Appraisal: Product inspection and Material inspection
Internal Failure: Scrap and rework
External Failure: Product Warranty
b-1. We have:
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 1 = 1.60%
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 2 = 1.65%
b-2. Profit has increased by $295,000 because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2.
Explanation:
a. Classify the costs as prevention, appraisal, internal failure, and external failure.
The costs can be classified as follows:
Prevention: Quality training
Appraisal: Product inspection and Material inspection
Internal Failure: Scrap and rework
External Failure: Product Warranty
b-1. Compute total quality cost as a percentage of sales for each of the two years.
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales = ((Product inspection + Material inspection) / Sales) * 100 ………………. (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 1 = (($100,000 + $60,000) / 10,000,000) * 100 = 1.60%
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 2 = (($125,000 + $40,000) / 10,000,000) * 100 = 1.65%
b-2. By how much has profit increased because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2?
To calculate the profit associated to quality, only costs associated to quality are deducted from Sales as follows:
Profit associated to quality = Sales - Scrap - Rework - Product inspection - Materials inspection ……… (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Profit associated to quality for Year 1 = $10,000,000 - $400,000 - $600,000 - $100,000 - $60,000 = $8,840,000
Profit associated to quality for Year 2 = $10,000,000 - $300,000 - $400,000 - $125,000 - $40,000 = $9,135,000
Therefore, we have:
Increase in profit because of quality improvements = Profit associated to quality for Year 2 - Profit associated to quality for Year 1 = $9,135,000 - $8,840,000 = $295,000
Therefore, profit has increased by $295,000 because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2.

For a given product demand, the time-series trend equation is 53 - 4 x. The negative sign on the slope of the equation:
a. is a mathematical impossibility.
b. is an indication that the forecast is biased, with forecast values lower than actual values.
c. is an indication that product demand is declining.
d. implies that the coefficient of determination will also be negative.
e. implies that the cumulative error will be negative.
Answer: is an indication that product demand is declining.
Explanation:
The negative sign on the slope of the time-series trend equation simply explains that the product demand is declining.
A negative slope indicates that two variables are negatively related which implies that when the value of x increases, rhen the value of y decreases, and vice versa. When putting this in a graph, the line falls when the line that's on the line graph shifts from left to right.

Chris Co. produces sports equipment and is currently producing 1,000 mini long boards annually. A supplier has offered to produce the boards for Chris Co. for $300 per board. Chris Co. incurs unit-level costs of $280 per unit. Chris also spends $25,000 on product design each year and incurs $50,000 of facility-level costs. The avoidable production cost for Chris to produce one mini long board is
Answer: $305
Explanation:
The avoidable production cost for Chris to produce one mini long board goes thus:
Unit Level Cost = $280
Add: Product Level Cost = $25,000 / 1000 units = $25
Then, the avoidable cost to produce one unit will be:
= $280 + $25
= $305
Donkey Inc. has a fleet of 10 large trucks that cost a total of $1,410,000. The fleet is expected to be driven a total of 1,000,000 miles during its estimated 10-year life and be sold for $141,000 at the end of its useful life. If the fleet was driven 125,000 miles during the current year, what is the amount of depreciation that would be calculated using the straight-line and units-of-production methods, respectively
Answer:
$126,900
$125,000
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
( $1,410,000 - $141,000) / 10 = $126900
Activity method based on activity = (miles that year / total miles expected to be driven) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
( $1,410,000 - $141,000) x ( 125,000 / 1,000,000) = 125,000
Imagine that two goods are available to you: servants (X) and robots (Y). You like servants three times as much as robots. If your domestic help budget is $4,000 per month, the price (wage) of servants is $1500 per person per month, and the price (rent) of robots is $400 per unit per month, what is the value of the MktRS (market rate of substitution)
Answer: 3
Explanation:
The marginal rate of substitution simply means the rate at which one good will be exchanged for another good based on the current market price.
Since you like servants three times as much as robots, this implies that the utility that one gets from one servant is exactly like the utility that will be gotten from three robots.
Therefore, the utility function will be:
U = 3X + Y
Then, the marginal rate of substitution will be:
= MUX/MUY
= 3

The price of a dozen eggs falls from $3 to $2.70. In response to this price change, the quantity supplied of eggs falls from 150,000 dozen eggs to 125,000 dozen eggs. What is the price elasticity of supply for eggs
Answer:
Price elasticity of supply=1.67
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply is a measure of the degree of responsive of supply to a change in price . It is computed using the formula below:
% change in Quantity supply/% change in price
% change in Quantity supply= 125,000-150,000/150,000× 100=16.67%
% change in price = (2.70-3.00)/3.00× 100= 10.00%
Price elasticity of supply = 16.67/10.00=1.67
Price elasticity of supply=1.67

frocks and gowns incorporated has two divisions day wear and night wear the day wear division has an investment base of 880,000 and produces and sells 134,500 units of collars at a market price of 12.20 wants to purchase 27,000 units of collars from the day wear division. what is the minimum transfer price that the day wear division would accept for the 27,000 unit order from the night wear
Question
Frocks and gowns incorporated has two divisions day wear and night wear the day wear division has an investment base of $880,000 and produces (and sells) 134,,500 units of Collars at a market price of $12.20 per unit. Variable costs total $7.80 per unit, and fixed charges are $3.90 per unit (based on a capacity of 140,000 units). The Night Wear Division wants to purchase 27,000 units of Collars from The Day Wear Division. However, the Night Wear Division is only willing to pay $8.45 per unit.
What is the contribution margin for the Day Wear Division without the transfer to the Night Wear Division?
Answer:
The minimum transfer value = $305,200
Explanation:
The company current has an excess capacity of 140,000-134,500=5,500 units
These available quantities can sold at a minimum transfer price of $7.80.
However, the balance of 21,500 (i.e 27,000 minus 5,500) should be transferred at the market price of $12.20. This is so because there is an opportunity cost attached to units supplied which is the contribution to be earned if sold at the market price.
Hence, The 27,000 units should transferred at the value computed below:
$
First 5,500= $5,500× $7.80= 42,900
The balance of 21,500 × $12.20= 262,300
The total value 305,200
The minimum transfer value = $305,200
As the Consumer Price Index increases, the value of money a. falls, so people hold less money to buy the goods and services they want. b. falls, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want. c. rises, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want. d. rises, so people hold less money to buy the goods and services they want.
Answer:
D. falls, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want.
Explanation:
In the case when the consumer price index rises, so the value of the money declines as the people would hold more money in order to purchase the goods and services what actually they want
Also it shows an inverse relationship between the consumer price index and the value of money i.e. if one thing is increased the other thing would decrease and vice versa

Increases natural rate of unemployment reducing workers' collective bargaining rights extra financial benefits for the unemployed a large number of young people entering the labor force an increase in union membership Decreases natural rate of unemployment
Answer:
increases natural rate of unemployment
extra financial benefits for the unemployed
a large number of young people entering the labor force
an increase in union membership
Decreases natural rate of unemployment
reducing workers' collective bargaining rights
Explanation:
natural rate of unemployment is unemployment that exists when there is only structural and frictional unemployment in an economy
structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition . Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.
Frictional unemployment . the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
If the unemployed are given extra benefits, there would be less incentive to find a job, thus unemployment would increase
An increase in union membership increases bargaining power of employees. this can lead to increase in wages. increase in wages reduces demand for labour and this increases unemployment. reducing collective bargaining right has the opposite effect on unemployment
a large number of people entering the labour force increases frictional unemployment

One reason why "protecting domestic jobs" is a poor argument against free trade is because A. there is little evidence that trade protection saves domestic jobs. B. the cost of protecting jobs is much higher than the value of the jobs. C. labor in other countries is not priced lower than U.S. labor. D. any outsourcing of jobs from the U.S. is completely offset by outsourcing of jobs from other countries.
Answer: Cost of protecting jobs is much higher than the value of the jobs.
Explanation:
Protectionism is when the local industries in a country are protected against foreign competition in order to help them grow.
One of the main ideas behind free trade is for the consumers to be provided with affordable and low prices goods when there's a free movement of goods between the countries.
It should be noted that an increase in the labour cost will also.bring about an increase in the value of jobs and this can result to the goods being sold at a higher price. Therefore the correct option is B "cost of protecting jobs is much higher than the value of the jobs".
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Whitmer Inc. sells to customers all over the U.S., and all receipts come in to its headquarters in New York City. The firm's average accounts receivable balance is $2.5 million, and they are financed by a bank loan at an 11% annual interest rate. The firm is considering setting up a regional lockbox system to speed up collections, and it believes this would reduce receivables by 20%. If the annual cost of the system is $15,000, what pre-tax net annual savings would be realized
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
Average accounts receivables = $2,500,000. Loan amount is also $2,500,000.
Interest rate is 11%. So, interest paid = $2,500,000*0.11 = $275,000
If the system reduces receivables by 20%,then current receivables = $2,500,000*0.8 = $2,000,000. So, loan amount = $2,000,000
Interest payable = $2,000,000*0.11 = $220,000
Cost of system = $15,000
Net annual savings = Interest payable without system - Interest payable after system installed - Cost of system
Net annual savings = $275,000 - $220,000 - $15,000
Net annual savings = $40,000
Calculate the annual cash flows of a $2 million, 10-year fixed-payment deferred annuity earning a guaranteed 8 percent per year if annual payments are to begin at the end of the sixth (6th) year.
Answer:
$437,946.42
Explanation:
Present Value of Deferred Annuity = $2,000,000
Value at the end of Year 5 = $2,000,000*(1.08)^5
Value at the end of Year 5 = $2,938,656.15
Calculation of Annual Payment from Annuity using the TVM
Annual payment = PMT [PV, FV, N, I]
Annual payment = PMT [2,938,656.15, 0, 10, 0.08]
Annual payment = $437,946.42
So, the Annual Payment from annuity is $437,946.42.
The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE of 9% and a beta of 1.70. It plans to maintain indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 2/3. This year's earnings were $3.6 per share. The annual dividend was just paid. The consensus estimate of the coming year's market return is 15%, and T-bills currently offer a 5% return.
Required:
a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell.
b. Calculate the P/E ratio.
c. Calculate the present value of growth opportunities.
d. Suppose your research convinces you Analog will announce momentarily that it will immediately reduce its plowback ratio to 1/3. Find the intrinsic value of the stock.
Answer:
a $7.95
b. $2.21
c $16.36
d, $13.01
Explanation:
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = [d0 (1+g)] / (r - g)
d0 = recently paid dividend
Dividend = payout ratio x earnings
payout ratio = 1 - plowback rate
1 - 2/3 = 1/3
1/3 x 3.6 = $1.2
r = cost of equity
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
5% + 1.7(15 - 5) = 22%
g = growth rate
g = plowback rate x ROE
2/3 X 9 = 6%
1. [1.2 x 1.06] / (0.22 - 0.06) = 1.272/ 0.16 = $7.95
2.
The price to earning ratio is a financial metric used to value a company. it compares the price of a stock to the earnings of the stock. the lower the metric is, the higher the valuation of the firm
price to earning ratio = market value per share / earnings
$7.95 / $3.6 = $2.21
c. present value of growth opportunities = earnings / cost of equity
3.6 / 0.22 = $16.36
d.
price = [d0 (1+g)] / (r - g)
d0 = recently paid dividend
Dividend = payout ratio x earnings
payout ratio = 1 - plowback rate
1 - 1/3 = 2/3
2/3 x 3.6 = $2.40
r = cost of equity = 22%
g = plowback rate x ROE
1/3 X 9 = 3%
[2.4 x 1.03] / (0.22 - 0.03) = 2.472/ 0.19 = $13.01
