Tofas Car is a German automobile manufacturer that builds high-end luxury cars for sale around the world. Tofas managers recognize they are missing opportunities in emerging markets, such as China, which have an increasing number of middle-class people ready to purchase affordable cars. Competitors that entered the Chinese market experienced significant profits over the last two years. Tofas managers have been assigned the task of determining the best strategy for Tofas to do business in China. Which of the following is likely to be the most beneficial to Tofas if it builds a manufacturing facility in China?
a. low-cost labor pool.
b. government regulations.
c. solid infrastructure.
d. legal precedents.
Answer:
low cost labor pool
Explanation:
To build a manufacturing facility in China, the most beneficial to Tofa would be low cost of labour pool. This is due to the fact that if they are able to get labour supply at lower cost levels, they would have reductions in what it takes to produce these cars. low cost of labour causes low cost of production and the price of the cars would be within reach of the middle class. The middle class would be able to afford the cars.

In the short term, increasing production is:________.
a) always beneficial because average total cost eventually falls
b) not always beneficial because marginal cost eventually falls
c) not always beneficial because average total cost eventually increase faster
d) always beneficial because marginal cost is constant
2) If a firms average total cost is increasing, the:_______.
a) marginal cost must be lower than average total cost
b) marginal cost must be lower than total cost
c) marginal cost must be higher than averags total cost
d) marginal cost must be higher than total cost
3) In the short term, as production reaches high levels:__________.
a) all costs increase
b) all costs increase except marginal cost
c) all costs increase except average fixed cost
Answer:
1. c) not always beneficial ..... ATC increase faster
2. c) MC > ATC ; 3. c) All except AFC increase
Explanation:
1. In short run, when more & more variable factors are employed on a fixed factor - Total cost first increase at decreasing rate, then at increasing rate. So, Average Total cost first decreases, & then increases (keeps on increasing faster with increase in production).
2. Marginal Cost, Average Total Cost relationship - MC > ATC, AC rises. MC < ATC, ATC falls & MC = ATC, ATC is minimum. So, ATC is increasing when MC is higher than ATC
3. Due to Law of Diminishing Productivity (as explained in 1), higher production implies rise in all costs - TVC, AVC, MC, ATC. But Average Fixed Cost = Total Fixed Cost (constant) / Output (increasing) falls.
Predict how the Fed would likely respond if the output gap became more positive, so that output moved from being 0.1% above potential output to being 3% above potential output, and inflation rose above its 2% target rate. a. The Fed would likely set a interest rate target. How would you expect unemployment to change over the next year or two in response to the Fed’s actions? b. If the Fed pursued this action, you would expect unemployment to over the next year or two.
Answer:
There are some missing details in this question so I shall attempt to answer as best I can.
a. The Fed would set a higher interest rate target.
If the economy is this much above the potential output, it means that the economy is overheated and so the Fed will act to bring it back close to the potential GDP.
To do so, they will aim to increase interest rates. This would make it more expensive for people and companies to borrow money. They will therefore borrow less to fund investments which would lead to the economy's growth reducing and theoretically coming back to the potential GDP level.
b. Unemployment would increase.
As companies find it more expensive to borrow money to fund investments, there will be a decrease in the rates at which people are being hired because less ventures will be formed. Unemployment will therefore gradually rise and will mirror the reduction in economic activity and growth.

25. On January 1, X9, Gerald received his 50 percent profits and capital interest in High Air, LLC, in exchange for $2,700 in cash and real property with a $3,700 tax basis secured by a $2,700 nonrecourse mortgage. High Air reported a $15,700 loss for its X9 calendar year. How much loss can Gerald deduct, and how much loss must he suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation
Answer:
The amount of loss that Gerald
can deduct is $5,050, and how much loss must he suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation is $2,700
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much loss can Gerald deduct, and how much loss must he suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation
Calculation for Gerald's initial tax basis is
Gerald's initial tax basis= [$2,700 + $3,700 - $2,700 + (50% × $2,700)]
Gerald's initial tax basis= [$2,700 + $3,700 - $2,700 + $1,350]
Gerald's initial tax basis= $5,050
Calculation for Gerald allocation
Gerald 50% allocation =50%*$15,500
Gerald 50% allocation =$7,750
Calculation for the Remaining loss that would be suspended and carried forward indefinitely
Suspended loss= $7,750-$5,050
Suspended loss= $2,700
Therefore the amount of loss that Gerald
can deduct is $5,050, and how much loss must he suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation is $2,700 ($7,750-$5,050)
ABC Corporation adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation on December 31, 2019. Its inventory at that date was $1,000,000 and the relevant price index was 1.00. Information regarding inventory for subsequent years is as follows: Date Inventory at Current Year Prices Price Index 12/31/2019 1,000,000 1.00 12/31/2020 1,285,200 1.08 12/31/2021 1,439,100 1.23 12/31/2022 1,625,000 1.30 What is the cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2021 under dollar-value LIFO
Answer:
$1,209,100
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of the ending inventory as on Dec 31,2021 is shown below:
= Inventory as on Dec 31,2019 + {(Inventory as on Dec 31,2021 ÷ 2021 price index × 2019 price index) - Inventory as on Dec 31,2019} × 2021 price index ÷ 2019 price index
= $1,000,000 + {($1,439,100 ÷ 1.23 × 1) - $1,000,000} × 1.23 ÷ 1
= $1,000,000 + ($1,170,000 - $1,000,000) × 1.23
= $1,000,000 + $209,100
= $1,209,100

During 2020, Vaughn Furniture Company purchases a carload of wicker chairs. The manufacturer sells the chairs to Vaughn for a lump sum of $131,670 because it is discontinuing manufacturing operations and wishes to dispose of its entire stock. Three types of chairs are included in the carload. The three types and the estimated selling price for each are listed below.
Type No. of Chairs Estimated Selling
Price Each
Lounge chairs 880 $90
Armchairs 660 80
Straight chairs 1,540 50
During 2020, Sarasota sells 440 lounge chairs, 220 armchairs, and 264 straight chairs.
What is the amount of gross profit realized during 2020? What is the amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs on December 31, 2020?
Answer:Gross profit realized during 2020 =$30,899
amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs on December 31, 2020 =$63,800
Explanation:
A)Vaughn Furniture Company purchases a carload of wicker chairs at a cost of a lump sum of $131,670 in 2020
Now the total number of chairs purchased per type is;
Lounge chairs 880
Armchairs 660
Straight chairs 1,540
Total = 3,080 chairs purchased
Also, Vaughn sells
440 Lounge chairs at $90 each = 440 x 90=$39,600
220 Armchairs at $80 each= 220 x 80 =$ 17600
264 Straight chairs at $50 each = 264 x 50 =$13,200
Total selling price of 924 chairs =$39,600+$ 17600+$13,200 =$70,400
Now , if 3,080 chairs can be purchased for a-lump sum amount of $131,670
924 chairs can be puchased in a lump sum of (924 x 131,670) /3080
=$39,501
Remember that the Selling price for 924 chairs =$70,400
Gross profit realized during 2020 = $70,400 -$39,501=$30,899
b).
Estimated Selling Price value for straight chair =$50
Straight chairs remaining= 1540-264=1276
1276 at $50 each = 1276 X 50 =$63,800

Purchase Company recently acquired several businesses and recognized goodwill in each acquisition. Purchase has allocated the resulting goodwill to its three reporting units: RU-1, RU-2, and RU-3. Purchase opts to skip the qualitative assessment and therefore performs a quantitative goodwill impairment review annually.In its current-year assessment of goodwill, Purchase provides the following individual asset and liability carrying amounts for each of its reporting units:
Carrying Amounts
RU-1 RU-2 RU-3
Tangible assets $215,500 $261,000 $158,250
Trademark 257,000
Customer list 154,500
Unpatented technology 232,500
Licenses 100,000
Copyrights 65,500
Goodwill 190,250 187,550 136,500
Liabilities (35,000)
The total fair values for each reporting unit (including goodwill) are $773,950 for RU-1, $736,450 for RU-2, and $743,500 for RU-3. To date, Purchase has reported no goodwill impairments.
Required:
How much goodwill impairment should Purchase report this year for each of its reporting units?
Answer:
Purchase Company
RU-1 RU-2 RU-3

b) Purchase Company will recognize Goodwill impairment expense for RU-1 and RU-2. It will recognize a Goodwill impairment gain for RU-3. A goodwill impairment gain results when the fair value is higher than the book value of the net realizable assets.
A company purchases a 17,160-square-foot commercial building for $385,000 and spends an additional $56,000 to divide the space into two separate rental units and prepare it for rent. Unit A, which has the desirable location on the corner and contains 3,510 square feet, will be rented for $1.00 per square foot. Unit B contains 13,650 square feet and will be rented for $0.60 per square foot. How much of the joint cost should be assigned to Unit B using the value basis of allocation
Answer: $308,700
Explanation:
First find proportion of rental income that comes from Unit B out of the total:
= (13,650 * 0.60) / [(3,510 * 1) + (13,650 * 0.60)]
= 8,190 / 11,700
= 70%
Joint cost = 385,000 + 56,000
= $441,000
Proportion to be assigned to Unit B:
= 441,000 * 70%
= $308,700
Ober Corporation, which has only one product, has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $ 120 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 8,900 Units sold 8,400 Units in ending inventory 500 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 38 Direct labor $ 36 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 6 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 9 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 151,300 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 109,200 Required: a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the month using variable costing. b. Prepare an income statement for the month using absorption costing
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
First, we need to calculate the total unitary variable cost:
Total unitary variable cost= 38 + 36 + 6 + 9
Total unitary variable cost= $89
Now, the income statement:
Sales= 8,400*120= 1,008,000
Total variable cost= 89*8,400= (747,600)
Total contribution margin= 260,400
Fixed manufacturing overhead= (151,300)
Fixed selling and administrative expense= (109,200)
Net operating income= (100)
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
First, we need to calculate the unitary production cost:
Unitary production cost= 38 + 36 + 6 + (151,300 / 8,900)
Unitary production cost= $95
Now, the income statement:
Sales= 1,008,000
COGS= 8,400*95= (798,000)
Gross profit= 210,000
Total selling and administrative expense= 109,200 + (8,400*9)= (184,800)
Net operating income= 25,200
Sheridan Company is planning to sell 1000 buckets and produce 580 buckets during March. Each bucket requires 600 grams of plastic and one-half hour of direct labor. Plastic costs $10 per 600 grams and employees of the company are paid $14 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Sheridan has 1100 kilos of plastic in beginning inventory and wants to have 600 kilos in ending inventory. How much is the total amount of budgeted direct labor for March
Answer:
Budgeted labour cost = $12,180
Explanation:
Budgeted labour cost for a forth accounting period is the product of the budgeted labour hours and the standard rate per hour.
The standard rate per hour is the amount paid to workers for each hour worked.
The budgeted labour hours is the product of budgeted production units and the standard hours per unit
Budgeted labour cost = 580× 1.5 × $14=$12,180
Budgeted labour cost = $12,180
Meiji Isetan Corp. of Japan has two regional divisions with headquarters in Osaka and Yokohama. Selected data on the two divisions follow: Division Osaka Yokohama Sales $ 10,200,000 $ 32,000,000 Net operating income $ 816,000 $ 3,200,000 Average operating assets $ 2,550,000 $ 16,000,000 Required: 1. For each division, compute the return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Assume that the company evaluates performance using residual income and that the minimum required rate of return for any division is 17%. Compute the residual income for each division. 3. Is Yokohama’s greater amount of residual income an indication that it is better managed?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. The return on investment for Osaka will be:
= (816000/10200000) × (10200000 × 2550000)
= 32%
The return on investment for Yokohama will be:
= (3200000/32000000) × (32000000/16000000)
= 20%
2. See attachment
3. Yokohama’s greater amount of residual income is not an indication that it is better managed. Since Yokohama Division is bigger than Osaka Division, it's expected that Yokohama will have a greater residual amount.

d.
It is true that there are planning opportunities, which could mitigate the negative tax ramifications of the distribution as are under tax diversification. Here, it will open more room for flexibility in order to optimally the most tax efficient method of liquidating assets.
Changes in Growth and Stock Valuation Consider a firm that had been priced using a 10 percent growth rate and a 13 percent required rate. The firm recently paid a $2.40 dividend. The firm has just announced that because of a new joint venture, it will likely grow at a 11 percent rate. How much should the stock price change (in dollars and percentage)
Answer:
Change in dollars $45.20
Change in percentage 51.36%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much should the stock price change (in dollars and percentage)
First step is to calculate the Price before change
Price before change= ($2.40*1.10)/(.13 - .10)
Price before change = $2.64/0.03
Price before change = $88
Second step is to calculate Price after change
Price after change=($2.40*1.11)/(.13 - .11)
Price after change=$2.664/0.02
Price after change = $133.2
Now let calculate the in dollars and percentage
Change in dollars=$133.2 -$88
Change in dollars=$45.20
Change in percentage=$45.20/$88
Change in percentage=0.5136*100
Change in percentage=51.36%
Therefore How much should the stock price change (in dollars and percentage) will be :
Change in dollars $45.20
Change in percentage 51.36%
The company budgeted for production of 2,800 units in April, but actual production was 2,900 units. The company used 21,200 liters of direct material to produce this output. The company purchased 19,100 liters of the direct material at $1.60 per liter. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The materials quantity variance for April is:
Answer:
the material quantity variance is $1,350 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the material quantity variance is given below:
Materials quantity variance is
= (Actual quantity × Standard price) - (Standard quantity × Standard price)
= (21,200 × $1.50) - [(2,900 × 7) × 1.5]
= $31,800 - $30,450
= $1,350 Unfavourable
Hence, the material quantity variance is $1,350 unfavorable

Depreciation Expense = Beginning of Year Book Value × Double Straight-line Rate
Depreciation Expense = $160,000 × (2 × 25%) = $80,000 (Depreciation Expense, year 1)
Depreciation Expense = Beginning of Year Book Value × Double Straight-line Rate
Depreciation Expense = ($160,000 − $80,000) × (2 × 25%) = $40,000 (Depreciation Expense, year 2)
Depreciation Expense = Beginning of Year Book Value × Double Straight-line Rate
Depreciation Expense = ($160,000 − $120,000) × (2 × 25%) = $20,000 (Depreciation Expense, year 3) Depreciation Expense = Beginning of Year Book Value × Double Straight-line Rate
Depreciation Expense = ($160,000 − $140,000) × (2 × 25%) = $10,000, but this would reduce the book value to less than salvage. Therefore, depreciation expense in year 4 is limited to $6,700.
(Book value at the beginning of the year, $20,000, minus the $13,300 salvage.)
Gomez runs a small pottery firm. He hires one helper at $10,000 per year, pays annual rent of $4,000 for his shop, and spends $16,000 per year on materials. He has $40,000 of his own funds invested in equipment (pottery wheels, kilns, and so forth) that could earn him $4,000 per year if alternatively invested. He has been offered $18,000 per year to work as a potter for a competitor. He estimates he could use his talents to earn an additional $2,000 per year in consulting fees if he were working full time as a potter. Total annual revenue from pottery sales is $65,000.
a. Calculate the accounting profit for Gomez’s pottery firm.
b. Now calculate Gomez's economic profit.
Answer:
$35,000

Explanation:
Sunland Company is unsure of whether to sell its product assembled or unassembled. The unit cost of the unassembled product is $24 and Sunland would sell it for $62. The cost to assemble the product is estimated at $26 per unit and the company believes the market would support a price of $87 on the assembled unit. What decision should Sunland make
Answer: Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit.
Explanation:
To solve the above question, we need to calculate the incremental profit or loss first. This will be:
= After assembling sales value - Unassembled unit sales value - Coat if further processing
= $87 - $62 - $26
= -$1
Since there is an incremental loss of $1, then the correct answer is "Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit".
Upton Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours (DLHs). The company has two products, Long and Short, about which it has provided the following data: Long Short Direct materials per unit$15.00 $48.80 Direct labor per unit$17.60 $51.20 Direct labor-hours per unit 0.80 2.40 Annual production 40,000 20,000 The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $4,547,200 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 80,000. The company is considering using a variation of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below: Activities and Activity MeasuresEstimated Overhead Cost Direct labor support (DLHs) $3,081,600 Setting up machines (setups) 441,600 Part administration (part types) 1,024,000 Total $4,547,200 Expected Activity Long Short Total DLHs32,000 48,000 80,000 Setups1,220 1,900 3,120 Part types980 2,860 3,840 The unit product cost of product Long under the company's traditional costing system is closest to:
Answer:
Unitary cost= $78.07
Explanation:
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= 4,547,200 / 80,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $56.84 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 56.84*0.8= $45.47
Finally, the unitary cost:
Unitary cost= 15 + 17.6 + 45.47
Unitary cost= $78.07
QUESTION 6 You discover a technical ‘anomaly’ in the US stock market. You find that stocks that go up X% or more 2 days in a row have an expected alpha of X/100% the following day (for example if a stock goes up 6% and 9%, then the next day its expected alpha is 0.06%). Suppose stock A has a BID-ASK spread of 0.2%, and has gone up 10% and 15% percent in the last 2 days. What is your expected profit (in dollars) if you choose to implement your strategy and take a $1000 position in the stock for one day?
Answer:
i) $98
ii) $148
iii) -$1
Explanation:
The BID-ASK price = 0.2% i.e. the market spread
If stock A has gone 10% and 15% percent in the last 2 days, following the discovered technical anomaly the next day the alpha will be
= 10% / 100%
= 0.1%
Calculate your profit If you take a $1000 position in the stock market for one day
i) assume you take a buy position on day 1 ( 10% )
Your expected profit = ( 10% - 0.2% ) * $1000 = 9.8% * 1000 = $98
ii) assume you take a buy position on day 2 ( 15%)
profit = ( 15% - 0.2% ) * 1000 = $148
iii) assume you take a buy position on day 3 ( 0.1% )
profit = ( 0.1% - 0.2% ) * 1000 = - $1 ( you will make a loss )
