2. PC Calculators sell calculators that it purchases for $15 each. It costs PC $60 each time calculators are ordered, and carrying costs are 20% of the calculator's purchase price. Annual demand is 100,000 calculators. (a) Compute the EOQ. (b) Compute the inventory costs if PC orders are at (i) the EOQ amount, (ii) 1000 calculators, (iii) 2500 calculators.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Purchase price = $15,
Ordering cost = $60
Carrying cost = 20 % × $15 = $3
(a) The EOQ (economic order quantity) goes thus:
= ✓(2 × Annual demand × ordering cost / carrying cost )
= ✓(2 × 100000 × 60 / 3)
= ✓(12000000 / 3)
= ✓(4000000)
EOQ = 2000 calculators
b. The inventory cost when PC orders are at the EOQ amount goes thus:
Note that:
Inventory cost = Cost of purchase + Ordering cost + Carrying cost
Cost of purchase = $2000 × $15 = $30000
Ordering cost = 100000 / 2000 × 60 = $3000
Carrying cost = 20% × purchase price = 20% × $30000 = $6000
Then, the total cost will be:
= $30000 + $3000 + $6000
= $39000
b. Inventory cost at 1000 calculators will be:
Purchase cost = $1000 × $15 = $15000
Ordering Cost = Annual demand / Ordering quantity × cost of placing the order
= 100000 / 1000 × 60
= $6000
Carrying cost = 20% × $15000 = $3000
Then, the total inventory cost will be:
= $15000 + $6000 + $3000
= $24000
(iii) Inventory cost at 2500 calculators will be:
Purchase cost = 2500 × purchase price = $2500 × $15
= $37500
Ordering Cost of order = 100000 / 2500 × 60
= $2400
Carrying cost = 20% × $37500 = $7500
Total inventory cost:
= $37500 + $2400 + $7500
= $47400
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

In addition, she has current and suspended losses of $28,000 associated with the partnership and has no other passive activities. a. Calculate Lucy's total gain and her current deductible loss. Her total gain is $fill in the blank 1 and her deductible loss is $fill in the blank 2 . b. What type of income can the deductible loss offset
Answer:
A. $25,000 gain
B. ($3,000)
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine Lucy's total gain
Amount realized $330,000
Less Adjusted basis ($305,000)
Total gain $25,000
($330,000-$305,000)
Therefore Lucy's total gain is $25,000
B. Calculation to determine her current deductible loss.
Amount realized $330,000
Less Adjusted basis ($305,000)
Total gain $ 25,000
($330,000-$305,000)
Less Suspended losses ($28,000)
Not passive Deductible loss ($3,000)
($25,000-$28,000)
Therefore her current deductible loss is ($3,000)

A firm has just paid its annual dividend of $5.64 a share. Thereafter the dividend is expected to increase at a rate of 2% a year. If the firm's stock currently sells for $60 a share, what is the cost of equity
Answer:
11.588 %
Explanation:
The information available allows us to use the Dividend Growth Model to calculate the cost of equity as :
Cost of equity = Expected dividend ÷ Price per share + growth rate
therefore,
Cost of equity = ($5.64 x 1.02) / $60 + 2 %
= 11.588 %
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.

Chester has negotiated a new labor contract for the next round that will affect the cost for their product Cozy. Labor costs will go from $1.76 to $2.26 per unit. Assume all period and variable costs as reported on Chester's Income Statement remain the same. If Chester were to pass on half the new labor costs to their customers, how many units of product Cozy would need to be sold next round to break even on the product
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The above is an incomplete question. The concluding parts are assuming the following;
Selling price per unit = $54
Current total variable cost = $24.50
Total fixed cost = $69,000
New variable cost will increase by ($2.26 - $1.76)/2 = $0.25
New variable cost will be = ($24.50 + $0.25) = $24.75
Contribution margin = ($54 - $24.75) = $29.25
New fixed cost = ($0.25 × 2,339) + $69,000 = $69,585
Note:
Old break even units = $69,000/$29.5 = 2,335 units
Therefore,
New break even units
= Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit
= $69,585/$29.5
= 2,397 units
Cozy would have to sell 2,397 units as opposed to 2,335 units in order to break even.

The Iberia Tire Company has 3,000 tires in its inventory which are considered obsolete. Each tire originally cost the company $35 and the normal selling price was $45 per tire. Management is considering two options to reduce these inventory levels. Option one is to sell the tires directly to car dealerships for $30 per tire as opposed to the normal selling price of $45 per tire. The other option is to offer their current customers a $10 per tire rebate on their purchase. In addition to the $10 rebate, the program would cost the company approximately $24,000 to manage. They predict that either option will rid them completely of their excess The decision to sell directly to the car dealerships over offering the rebate will result in:_______
A. A $21,000 increase in profits.
B. A $9,000 increase in profits.
C. A $15,000 decrease in profits.
D. A $24,000 decrease in profits.
Answer:
B. A $9,000 increase in profits
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The decision to sell directly to the car dealerships over offering the rebate will result in:
First step is to calculate the net selling prices for each group
Car dealership total price of sales = 3000 × 30 Car dealership total price of sales =$90,000
Current customers;
First step is to calculate the price of 1 tire
Price of 1 tire = $45 - $10 rebate
Price of 1 tire = $35
Total selling price = 35 × 3000
Total selling price= $105,000
Second step is to calculate net amount gotten from sales to customers
Net income= $105,000 - $24,000
Net income= $81,000
Now let calculate what the decision to sell directly to the car dealerships over offering the rebate will result in:
Decision to sell = 90,000 - 81,000
Decision to sell= $9,000 increase in profits
Therefore the decision to sell directly to the car dealerships over offering the rebate will result in:$9,000 increase in profits

a) For a 95 percent service level, the value of z by referring to the Normal Table in Appendix A) is 1.65
The reorder point is computed as follows:
= Weekly Demand × Lead Time + Z × Standard Deviation × √ Lead Time
=277 × 8 + 1.65 × 80 × √8
= 2216+ 373.56
= 2589.56 units
Coronado Industries reported the following year-end information: Beginning work in process inventory $ 25000 Beginning raw materials inventory 9000 Ending work in process inventory 28000 Ending raw materials inventory 6000 Raw materials purchased 560000 Direct labor 210000 Manufacturing overhead 120000 How much is Coronado’s total cost of work in process for the year?
Answer:
$890,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost of work in process is shown below
But before that following calculations are needed
Cost of Raw material consumed = Beginning inventory + Raw material purchased - Closing inventory
= $9,000 + $560,000 - $6,000
= $563,000
And,
Cost of manufacturing = Cost of raw material consumed + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $563,000 + $210,000 + $120,000
= $893,000
Now
Cost of work in progress = Beginning WIP inventory - Ending WIP inventory + Cost of manufacturing
= $25,000 - $28,000 + $893,000
= $890,000
On January 1, 2019, QRS Company granted 80,000 stock options to certain executives. The options may be exercised on or after December 31, 2022, and expire on January 1, 2026. Each option can be exercised to acquire one share of $1 par common stock for $5. The fair value of each options was estimated to be $3 on the grant date. What amount should QRS recognize as compensation expense for 2020
Answer:
The amount QRS should recognize as compensation expense for 2020 is $80,000.
Explanation:
NS = Number of shares granted as stock option = 80,000
FV = Fair value of the options on the date of grant = $3
N = Number of years from December 31, 2022 to January 1, 2026 = 3
Therefore, we have:
Total compensation expenses = NS * FV = 80,000 * $3 = $240,000
Amount QRS should recognize as compensation expense for 2020 = Total compensation expenses / n = $240,000 / 3 = $80,000
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
Michael Corporation manufactures railroad cars, which is its only product. The standards for the railroad cars are as follows:
Standard tons of direct material (steel) per car 4
Standard cost per ton of steel $ 17.00
During the month of March, the company produced 1,650 cars.
Related production data for the month follows:
Actual materials purchased and used (tons) 6,650
Actual direct materials total cost $ 115,000
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
Hannish Orchards, a juice manufacturer, uses a process that adds all the raw materials at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are evenly distributed. Assume there are no beginning inventories. During the period the company started making 10,000 gallons. There were 2,000 gallons left in ending WIP that were 40% of the way through the process. Costs incurred during the period were: $ 16,000 Raw materials $ 5,500 Conversion costs The cost assigned to ending work in process would be closest to: A) $3,700 B) $4,300 C) $1,720 D) $1,780
Answer:
a. $3,700
Explanation:
Unit completed = 10000 - 2000 = 8000
Equivalent unit of material = 10000
Equivalent unit of conversion = 8000 + (2000*40%)
Equivalent unit of conversion = 8800
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $16000/10000
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $1.6
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $5500/8800
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $0.625
Cost of ending WIP = Equivalent unit of material*Unit cost+Equivalent unit of conversion*Unit cost
Cost of ending WIP = 2000*$1.6 + (2000*40%)*$0.625
Cost of ending WIP = $3200 + $500
Cost of ending WIP = $3,700
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
