To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (5 - 4.9)*14,000
Direct material price variance= $1,400 favorable
Actual price= 68,600/14,000= $4.9
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (1,500*10 - 14,000)*5
Direct material quantity variance= $5,000 favorable
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (5*1,500 - 7,600)*10
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $1,000 unfavorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (10 - 10.5)*7,600
Direct labor rate variance= $3,800 unfavorable
Actual rate= 79,800 / 7,600= $10.5
A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing.
For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is_________and __________ . Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good.
Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $7,200. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 300 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $18.
Answer:
Non rival and non excludable
Explanation:
if the visual appearance is classified as a public good, then it is non-rival and non excludable.
In economics, a public good is described with these two characteristics. such goods are non rivalrous and also without excludability.
if mr A is using such a good, it does not prevent mr B from using it also. Also Mr A cannot exclude Mr B from using it
the benefit of the beautification initiative = $18*300
= 5400

Marshall Welding Company has two service departments (Cafeteria and Human Resources) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The number of employees in each department follows. Cafeteria 20 Human Resources 30 Machining 100 Assembly 150 Marshall Welding uses the step-down method of cost allocation and allocates cost on the basis of employees. Human Resources cost amounts to $1,200,000, and the department provides more service to the firm than Cafeteria. How much Human Resources cost would be allocated to Cafeteria
Answer: $88,889
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the cost of Human Resources that would be allocated to Cafeteria will be calculated thus:
Number of employees (Human Resources to departments)
= 20 + 100 + 150
= 270 employees
The Human Resources cost would be allocated to Cafeteria will be:
= $1,200,000 / 270 x 20
= $88,889

First and Ten Corporation’s stock returns have a covariance with the market portfolio of .0415. The standard deviation of the returns on the market portfolio is 20% and the expected market risk premium is 6.7%. The company has bonds outstanding with a total market value of $55 million and a yield to maturity of 6.5%. The company also has 4.2 million shares of common stock outstanding, each selling for $35. The company’s CEO considers the firm’s current debt-equity ratio optimal. The corporate tax rate is 21% and Treasury bills currently yield 3.4%. The company is considering the purchase of additional equipment that would cost $49 million. The expected unlevered cash flows from the equipment are $16.4 million per year for five years. Purchasing the equipment will not change the risk level of the firm. Calculate the NPV of the project.
Answer:
NPV of the project = $14,906,309.99
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for calculation of the NPV of the project (in bold red color).
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used in calculating the discounting factor used in the attached excel file is calculated as follows:
Cost of equity = Treasury bills current yield + (Stock returns covariance with the market portfolio / Standard deviation of the returns on the market portfolio^2) * Expected market risk premium = 3.4% + (0.0415 / 20%^2) * 6.7% = 10.35%
After tax cost of debt = Bond yield to maturity * (100% - Tax rate) = 6.5% * (100% - 21%) = 5.14%
Market value of debt = $55,000,000
Market value of equity = Shares of common stock outstanding * Market price per share = 4,200,000 * $35 = $147,000,000
Total market value = Market value of equity + Market value of debt = $147,000,000 + $55,000,000 = $202,000,000
Equity share in the market value = $147,000,000 / $202,000,000 = 72.77%
Debt share in the market value = $55,000,000 / $202,000,000 = 27.23%
WACC = (Cost of equity * Equity share in the market value) + (After tax cost of debt * Debt share in the market value) = (10.35% * 72.77%) + (5.14% * 27.23%) = 8.93%
From attached excel file, we have:
NPV of the project = $14,906,309.99
A company is investing in a solar panel system to reduce its electricity costs. The system requires a cash payment of $118,982.50 today. The system is expected to generate net cash flows of $10,209 per year for the next 35 years. The investment has zero salvage value. The company requires an 7% return on its investments. 1-a. Compute the net present value of this investment. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your present value factor to 4 decimals.) 1-b. Should the project be accepted
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is given below:
a.
As we know that
Net present value
= Annual cash inflows × PVIFA factor at 7% for 35 years - initial investment
= $10,209 × 12.9477 - $118,982.50
= $132,183.0693 - $118,982.50
= $13,200.57
Hence, the net present value is $13,200.57
b. Yes the project should be accepted as it net present value comes in positive amount

Sophia just graduated from college. She just sold the furniture from her college apartment for $450 in cash. She just deposited $2,700 in graduation money into her checking account and has $7,500 saved in her savings account from working part-time. She charged gas and groceries to her credit card that she hasn't paid off yet. The total balance on her credit card is $179. Sophia has driven the same car since high school that is valued at $3,254. She doesn't have an auto loan. Her total student loan amount after graduating is $54,178. What is Sophia's net worth? (Do not include the $ sign or commas in your answer).
Answer:
Sophia's Net Worth
Sophia's net worth is:
= ($40,453).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Assets:
Proceeds from sale of furniture = $450
Checking account deposit = 2,700
Savings account 7,500
Car 3,254
Total assets $13,904
Liabilities:
Credit card $179
Student loan after graduating 54,178
Total liabilities $54,357
Sophia's net worth = ($40,453)
b) Sophia's net worth is in the negative because of the student loan. This implies that she is in debt. A negative net worth simply means that Sophia owes more than she owns. In other words, Sophia's liabilities exceed her assets' value.

Explanation:
BOGO Inc. has two sequential processing departments, roasting and mixing. At the beginning of the month, the roasting department had 3,080 units in inventory, 70% complete as to materials. During the month, the roasting department started 21,600 units. At the end of the month, the roasting department had 4,800 units in ending inventory, 80% complete as to materials. Cost information for the roasting department for the month follows:
Beginning work in process inventory (direct materials) $ 4,870
Direct materials added during the month 45,900
Using the FIFO method, assign direct materials costs to the roasting department’s output—specifically, the units transferred out to the mixing department and the units that remain in process in the roasting department at month-end. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Direct material cost of units transferred out = $42,596
Cost of ending work in process inventory = $8,174
Explanation:
This can be done using the following 3 steps:
Step 1: Calculation of equivalent unit of production (EUP) of materials
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of equivalent unit of production (EUP) of materials.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Physical unit = 24,680
EUP-material = 21,564
Step 2: Calculation of cost per EUP of materials
Cost per EUP of materials = Direct materials added during the month / EUP-Materials = $49,900 / 21,564 = $2.13
Step 3: Assignment of direct materials cost to the units transferred out amd the ending WIP
Cost of materials added to complete the beginning WIP = 924 * $2.13 = $1,967
Cost of units started and transferred out = 16,800 * $2.13 = $35,760
Direct material cost of units transferred out = Direct material cost of beginning WIP + Cost of materials added to complete the beginning WIP + Cost of units started and transferred out = $4,870 + $1,967 + $35,760 = $42,596
Cost of ending work in process inventory = 3,840 * $2.13 = $8,174
Two hundred paper mills compete in the paper market. The total cost of production (in dollars) for each mill is given by the formula TC = 500Qmill + (Qmill)2 where Qmill indicates the mills annual production in thousands of tons. The marginal cost of production is MC = 500 + 2Qmill. The external cost of a mill’s production (in dollars) is given by the formula EC = 40Qmill + (Qmill)2 and the marginal external cost of production is MEC = 40 + 2Qmill. Finally, annual market demand (in thousands of tons) is given by the formula Qd = 150,000 – 100P where P is the price of paper per ton. Using algebra, find the competitive equilibrium price and quantity, as well as the efficient quantity. Calculate the magnitude of the deadweight loss resulting from the externality. Illustrate your solution with graphs.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The magnitude of the deadweight loss resulting from the externality is shown below:
MC = 500 + 2Q
MEC = 40 + 2Q
Therefore, the Marginal social cost (MSC) will be:
= MC + MEC
= 500 + 2Q + 40 + 2Q
= 540 + 4Q
Since Demand: Q = 150,000 - 100P, we have to get a function for P which will be:
Q = 150,000 - 100P
100P = 150,000 - Q
P = (150,000 - Q)/100
P = 1,500 - 0.01Q
Total revenue, TR = P x Q
= (1,500 - 0.01Q) × Q
= 1500Q - 0.01Q²
Marginal revenue, MR will be:
= dTR / dQ
= 1,500 - 0.02Q
It should be noted that for when there's no externality, Equilibrium, MC must be equal to MR. Therefore,
1,500 - 0.02Q = 500 + 2Q
2Q + 0.02Q = 1500 - 500
2.02Q = 1,000
Q = 1000/2.02
Q = 495
P = 1,500 - (0.01 x 495)
= 1,500 - 4.95
= 1,495.05
When there's externality, Equilibrium will be:
MR = MSC
1,500 - 0.02Q = 540 + 4Q
4.02Q = 960
Q= 960/4.02
Q = 239
Therefore, P = 1,500 - (0.01 x 239)
= 1,500 - 2.39
= 1,497.61
Then, we will calculate the deadweight loss which will be:
= 1/2 x Difference in price x Difference in quantity
= 1/2 x (1,497.61 - 1,495.05) x (495 - 239)
= 1/2 x 2.56 x 256
= 327.68
On January 1, 2021, Wetick Optometrists leased diagnostic equipment from Southern Corp., which had purchased the equipment at a cost of $2,251,671. The lease agreement specifies six annual payments of $470,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2025. The six-year lease term ending December 31, 2026 (a year after the final payment), is equal to the estimated useful life of the equipment. The contract specifies that lease payments for each year will increase on the basis of the increase in the Consumer Price Index for the year just ended. Thus, the first payment will be $470,000, and the second and subsequent payments might be different. The CPI at the beginning of the lease is 120. Southern routinely acquires diagnostic equipment for lease to other firms. The interest rate in these financing arrangements is 10%. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 1. Prepare the appropriate journal entries for Wetick to record the lease at its beginning. 2. Assuming the CPI is 126 at that time, prepare the appropriate journal entries related to the lease for Wetick at December 31, 2021.

PV $2,251,669.7816
We subtract the first payment of 470,000
Lease liability account: 1,781,669.78
Second payment journal entry:
interest calculations:
1,781,669.78 x 0.1 = 178,166.98
principal payment:
470,000 - 178,166.98 = 291,833.02
inflation' adjustment:
470,000 x 126/120 = 493,500
The difference will be a loss on monetary position by the difference:
493,500 - 470,000 = 23,500

Explanation:
a. Calculation to Complete a separate depreciation using the straight line method:
STRAIGHT LINE METHOD
First step is to calculate the Depreciable value of the asset using this formula
Depreciable value of the asset = Total cost of asset - Estimated salvage value of asset
Let plug in the formula
Depreciable value of the asset= $152,000 - $8,000
Depreciable value of the asset= $144,000
Second step is to calculate the Depreciation rate per year
Depreciation rate per year = (1/4) * 100 year useful life
Depreciation rate per year = 25%
Third step is to calculate the Annual depreciation using this formula
Annual depreciation = Depreciable value x Depreciation rate per year
Let plug in the formula
Annual depreciation= $144,000 x 25%
Annual depreciation = $36,000
Now let Complete the Depreciation schedule
Year Depreciation Expense Accumulated Depreciation Net Book Value
At Acquisition $152,000
Year 1 $36,000 $36,000 $116,000
($152,000- $36,000=$116,000)
Year 2 $36,000 $72,000 $80,000
($152,000 - $72,000=$80,000)
Year 3 $36,000 $108,000 $44,000
($152,000 - $108,000=$44,000)
Year 4 $36,000 $144,000 $8,000

Depreciation = ( Depreciable value of the asset x Annual usage of hours ) / Total estimated machine hours
Let plug in the formula
Year 1 = ($144,000 x 5,500 hours) / 16,000 hours Year 1 = $49,500
Year 2 = ($144,000 x 3,800 hours) / 16,000 hours
Year 2= $34,200
Year 3 = ($144,000 x 3,200 hours) / 16,000 hours
Year 3= $28,800
Year 4 = ($144,000 x 3,500 hours) / 16,000 hour Year 4= $31,500
Now let Complete the Depreciation schedule
Year Depreciation Expense Accumulated Depreciation Net Book Value
At Acquisition $152,000
Year 1 $49,500 $49,500 $102,500
($152,000 - $49,500=$102,500)
Year 2 $34,200 $99,000 $68,300
($152,000 - $99,000=$68,300)
Year 3 $28,800 $148,500 $39,500
($152,000 - $148,500=$39,500)
Year 4 $31,500 $198,000 $8,000
($152,000 - $198,000=$8,000)
c. Calculation to determine the depreciation using double-declining balance method
DOUBLE-DECLINING BALANCE METHOD
First step is calculate the Depreciation rate using this formula
Depreciation rate = 1/useful life * 100
Let plug in the formula
Depreciation rate = (1/4) * 100
Depreciation rate = 25%
Second step is to calculate the Depreciation per year using this formula
Double-declining balance = 2 x cost of the asset x Depreciation rate
Let plug in the formula
Year 1 depreciation = 2 x $152,000 x 25%
Year 1 depreciation = $76,000
Year 2 depreciation = 2 x ($152,000 - $76,000) x 25%
Year 2 depreciation = $38,000
Year 3 depreciation = 2 x ($152,000 - $76,000 - $38,000) x 25%
Year 3 depreciation = $19,000
Year 4 depreciation = 2 x ($152,000 - $76,000 - $38,000 - $19,000) x 25%
Year 4 depreciation = $9,500
Now let Complete the Depreciation schedule
Year Depreciation Expense Accumulated Depreciation Net Book Value
At Acquisition $152,000
Year 1 $76,000 $76,000 $76,000
($152,000-$76,000=$76,000)
Year 2 $38,000 $152,000 $38,000
($76,000+$76,000=$152,000)
Year 3 $19,000 $228,000 $19,000
($152,000+$76,000=$228,000)
Year 4 $9,500 $304,000 $9,500
($228,000+$76,000=$304,000)
Therefore the Complete a separate depreciation schedule for each of the alternative methods are:
A. Straight-line method

It is argued that LIFO should not be allowed to compute net income because a. it does not match costs to revenues, especially when there is inflation in the economy. b. it overstates balance sheet inventory. c. it understates cost of goods sold when prices are rising and therefore makes US companies' results look better than foreign companies' results which can only use FIFO. d. it causes profits to be understated when prices are rising and allows a company to dodge taxes.
Answer:
d. it causes profits to be understated when prices are rising and allows a company to dodge taxes.
Explanation:
The LIFO method should not be permitted to determine the net income as in this case the profits would be understated at the time when price is increased due to this it permits the company to dodge taxes as the inventory consumed in the production process also the high inventory value would be involved in the cost of sales that represent the high cost, this result in lower profits and taxes
Hence, the option d is correct

Tim, a single taxpayer, operates a business as a single-member LLC. In 2020, his LLC reports business income of $382,000 and business deductions of $668,500, resulting in a loss of $286,500. What are the implications of this business loss
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
First, it should be noted that a threshold limit of $250,000 applies to the question according to IRS since Tim is a single taxpayer.
Therefore, the excess business loss will be:
= $286,500 - $250,000
= $36500
Therefore, Tim can use $250000 out of the loss of $286,500 to offset the non business income. Then, the excess business loss of $36500 will be treated as part of the NOL carryforward for Tim.
When a company uses outsourcing to zero in on even better performance of those truly strategy-critical activities where its expertise is most needed, then it may also be able to:________.
a. better police compliance with ethical standards, lower overall operating costs, and create two or more distinctive competencies.

d. create a values-based corporate culture that excels in product innovation.
e. reduce the potential for information overload and improve the quality of decision-making in each domain.
Answer:
c. decrease internal bureaucracies, flatten its organizational structure, and shorten the time it takes to respond to changing market conditions.
Explanation:
Outsourcing is the process where a business gives out part of its activities to a third party to handle.
They are no longer directly in control of the activity.
For example recruitmemt, procurement, and sales can be outsourced to third party companies.
In the given scenario. If a company uses outsourcing to zero in on those truly strategy-critical activities where its expertise is most needed, then it will reduce the bureacracy associated with outsourcing.
Employees of the company will have a shorter time to respond to changing market conditions.
Unlike when it is outsourced and one needs to communicate with a third party

"When auto manufacturer BMW purchased the Rollsminus Royce brand name, BMW had to hire and train a new staff of assembly workers. The new workers were paid $27 per hour, worked a total of 7,200 hours, and produced 2,100 cars. BMW budgeted for a standard labor rate of $32 per hour and 3.50 direct labor hours per car. What is the direct labor rate variance for the Rollsminus Royce division?"
Answer:
See now
Explanation:
With regards to the above, direct labor rate variance is computed as;
Direct labor rate variance
= Actual cost - Standard cost of actual hours
= [(7,200hours × $27) - (7,200 hours × $32)]
= $194,400 - $230,400
= $36,000 favorable
Therefore , direct labor rate variance i s $36,000 favorable
