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.
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
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%
Assume initially that the price of X (the quantity of which is measured on the horizontal axis) is $9 and the price of Y (the quantity of which is measured on the vertical axis) is $4. If the price of X now declines to $6, the budget line will Multiple Choice be unaffected. shift outward on the vertical axis. shift inward on the horizontal axis. shift outward on the horizontal axis.
Answer:
The budget line will shift outward on the horizontal axis.
Explanation:
One of the laws of the demand is that the lower the price of a good, the higher the quantity of that good that is purchased.
From the question, a decline in the price of X from $9 to $6, will lead to an increase in the quantity of X that is bought.
Since the price of Y still remains at $4, if the price of X now declines to $6, the budget line will shift outward on the horizontal axis.

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

Braxton Enterprises currently has debt outstanding of million and an interest rate of . Braxton plans to reduce its debt by repaying million in principal at the end of each year for the next five years. If Braxton's marginal corporate tax rate is , what is the interest tax shield from Braxton's debt in each of the next five years?
Answer:
Interest tax shield in year 0 = $1.155 million
Interest tax shield in year 1 = $0.924 million
Interest tax shield in year 2 = $0.693 million
Interest tax shield in year 3 = $0.462 million
Interest tax shield in year 4 = $0.231 million
Interest tax shield in year 5 = 0
Explanation:
Here is the complete question :
Braxton Enterprises currently has debt outstanding of $55 million and an interest rate of 6%. Braxton plans to reduce its debt by repaying $11 million in principal at the end of each year for the next five years. If Braxton's marginal corporate tax rate is 35%, what is the interest tax shield from Braxton's debt in each of the next five years?
interest tax shield is a reduction in tax paid as a result of interest paid on debt
interest tax shield = (debt amount x interest rate x tax rate)
Interest tax shield in year 0 = $55 million x 0.06 x 0.35 = $1.155 million
Debt in year 1 = $55 million - 11million = $44 million
Interest tax shield in year 1 = $44 million x 0.06 x 0.35 = $0.924 million
Debt in year 2 = $44 million - 11million = $33 million
Interest tax shield in year 2 = $33 million x 0.06 x 0.35 = $0.693 million
Debt in year 3 = $33 million - 11million = $22 million
Interest tax shield in year 3 = $22 million x 0.06 x 0.35 = $0.462 million
Debt in year 4 = $22 million - $11 million = $11 million
Interest tax shield in year 4 = $11 million x 0.06 x 0.35 = $0.231 million
Debt in year 5 = $11 million - $11 million = 0
Interest tax shield in year 5 = 0 x 0.06 x 0.35 = 0
You are looking at a one-year loan of $13,000. The interest rate is quoted as 9.6 percent plus three points. A point on a loan is 1 percent (one percentage point) of the loan amount. Quotes similar to this one are common with home mortgages. The interest rate quotation in this example requires the borrower to pay three points to the lender up front and repay the loan later with 9.6 percent interest.
Required:
What rate would you actually be paying here?
Answer: 10.3%
Explanation:
The borrower is to pay 3 points on the loan to get it which means that the effective total they are getting is:
= 13,000 * ( 1 - 3%)
= $12,610
The borrower will also have to pay an interest of 7% so the total to pay back is:
= 13,000 * ( 1 + 7%)
= $13,910
Interest actually paid:
= Amount to paid back / Amount to be received - 1
= (13,910 / 12,610) - 1
= 10.3%

a. $500 is recognized in year 1, $6,000 in year 2, and $2,500 in year 3.
b. $500 is recognized in year 1 and $8,500 in year 2.
c. $9,000 is recognized in year 3.
d. $2,500 is recognized in year 1 and $6,500 in year 2.
e. $9,000 is recognized in year 1.
Answer:
b) $500 is recognized in year 1 and $8,500 in year 2.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine When must Colbert recognize the income if his accounting methods are selected to minimize income recognition?
Calculation for amount recognized in year 1
Payment in year 1= $9,000 ÷ 18 months
Payment in year 1= $500
Therefore Based on the above calculation the amount recognized in year 1 will be $500
Calculation for the amount recognized in year 2
Payment in year 2 = $9,000 - $500
Payment in year 2= $8,500
Therefore The amount recognized in year 2 will be $8,500
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
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".

Martin Company purchases a machine at the beginning of the year at a cost of $160,000. The machine is depreciated using the double-declining-balance method. The machine’s useful life is estimated to be 4 years with a $13,300 salvage value. The machine’s book value at the end of year 3 is:
Answer:
$6,700.
Explanation:
How to find
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.)
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
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 )

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.

Partial-Year Depreciation Sandblasting equipment acquired at a cost of $42,000 has an estimated residual value of $6,000 and an estimated useful life of 10 years. It was placed in service on October 1 of the current fiscal year, which ends on December 31, 20Y5. a. Determine the depreciation for 20Y5 and for 20Y6 by the straight-line method. Depreciation 20Y5 $fill in the blank 1 20Y6 $fill in the blank 2 b. Determine the depreciation for 20Y5 and for 20Y6 by the double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
A. Depreciation expense in 20Y5 = $900
Depreciation expense in 20Y6 = $3,600
B. Depreciation expense in 20Y5 = $2800
Depreciation expense in 20Y6 =$7840
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($42,000 - $6,000) / 10 = $3,600
The depreciation expense would be $3600 each year except in 20Y5. when the equipment was used from October to December which is 3 months
Depreciation expense in 20Y5 = 3/12 x $3600 = $900
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/10 = 0.2
Depreciation expense in 20Y5 = 0.2 x $42,000 = $8,400
But the equipment was only used for 3 months, so we would divide the figure above by 3
$8400 / 3 = $2800
Depreciation expense in 20Y5 = $2800
Depreciation expense in 20Y6 = book value in the beginning of 20Y6 x depreciation expense
Book value = cost of the asset - depreciation expense in 20Y5
$42,000 - $2800 = $39,200
Depreciation expense in 20Y6 = $39,200 x 0.2 = $7840
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)
