Port Allen Chemical Company processes raw material D into joint products E and F. Raw material D costs $4 per liter. It costs $100 to convert 100 liters of D into 60 liters of E and 40 liters of F. Product F can be sold immediately for $4 per liter or processed further into Product G at an additional cost of $3 per liter. Product G can then be sold for $9 per liter.
a. Determine whether Product F should be sold or processed further into Product G.
b. Calculate the net advantage (disadvantage) of further processing.
c. Use a negative sign with your answer to indicate a net disadvantage (if applicable).
Answer:
a) Product G should be produced and sold
b) Net financial advantage $80
Explanation:
A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.
Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .
$
Revenue after split-off point
($9× 40 litres) 360
Revenue at the slit of point
($4 × 40) (160)
Additional income from further processing 200
Further processing cost ($3× 40) (120)
Incremental income from further processing 80
Incremental income from further processing = $80
a) The product F should be processed further and sold as product G. Doing so would increase the net income by $80.
b) Net advantage $80

The potential benefits lost by taking a specific action when two or more alternative choices are available is known as a(n):
Answer:
Opportunity costs
Explanation:
The potential benefits lost by taking a specific action when two or more alternative choices are available is known as opportunity costs.
Opportunity cost has to do with losing other alternatives by chosing to go with one alternative. Hence it is also called foregone alternative. It has to do with making a decision or choice to give up something in order to get something else which may be of more value.
Abburi Company's manufacturing overhead is 55% of its total conversion costs. If direct labor is $45,900 and if direct materials are $27,200, the manufacturing overhead is:
Answer:
Manufacturing Overheads = $56100
Explanation:
The conversion cost defined simply is the cost involved in turning the raw material or direct material into the finished products. Conversion cost is calculated by adding the direct labor cost and the manufacturing overhead cost.
Conversion cost = Direct labor + Manufacturing overheads
As we know that the manufacturing overhead is 55% of conversion cost, then the direct labor cost is 45% of conversion cost.
If 45% of conversion cost is $45900, then the total conversion cost will be,
Conversion cost = 45900 * 100/45 = $102000
Manufacturing Overheads = 102000 - 45900 = $56100

Wolverine Company financial statements included the effects of these errors: Reported Net Income for Year 1 was $20,000. Reported Net Income for Year 2 was $18,000. Indicate the error in 12/31/2 Retained Earnings:
Answer:
Net income year 2 = $21,300
Explanation:
I looked for the missing information and found this:
Year Depreciation overstated Prepaid expense omitted
1 $2,500 $2,000
2 $4,000 $2,700
If your question doesn't include the same values, just adjust the answer.
Year 2's net income = net income (year 2) + overstated depreciation (year 2) + omitted prepaid expenses (year 1) - omitted prepaid expenses (year 2) = $18,000 + $4,000 + $2,000 - $2,700 = $21,300

$
3. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process.
Units transferred out $
Units in ending work in process
Answer:
1. Compute equivalent units of production for materials and for conversion costs
Equivalent units of Materials: (Units in Beginning Work in process + Units started into production - Units in ending work in process) + Units in ending work in process
= (0 + 37,300 - 8,200) + 8,200
= 37,300
Equivalent units of conversion costs : (Units in Beginning Work in process + Units started into production - Units in ending work in process) + (Units in ending work in process * 40%)
= (0 + 37,300 - 8,200) + (8,200 * 40%)
=29,100 + 3,280
= 32,380
2. Determine the unit costs of production
Unit costs of materials = Direct materials / Equivalent units of Materials
= $78,330 / 37,300
= $2.1
Unit costs of conversion costs = (Direct labor + Overhead) / Equivalent units of conversion costs
= ($66,500 + $105,114) / 32,380
= $171,614 / 32,380
= $5.3
3. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process
Units ending work in process = Materials + Conversion costs
where, Materials = 8,200 * $2.1 = $8,202
Conversion costs = 3,281 * $5.3 = $17,389
( 8,200 * 40%)
Units ending work in process = $8,202 + $17,389
= $25,591
Indus Corporation pays $100,000 for the trademark rights to a line of soda equipment. After several years, sales for this line of soda equipment are disappointing, and the company estimates the total future cash flows from sales will be only $110,000. The estimated fair value of the trademark is now $60,000. What is the amount of the impairment loss to be recorded
Answer:
impairment loss = $40,000
Explanation:
In accounting, impairment loss refers to the decrease of an asset's carrying value. In order to calculate the impairment loss, you need to subtract the current market value of the asset from its original carrying value.
impairment loss = carrying value - current market value = $100,000 - $60,000 = $40,000

Take It All Away has a cost of equity of 10.81 percent, a pretax cost of debt of 5.45 percent, and a tax rate of 35 percent. The company's capital structure consists of 77 percent debt on a book value basis, but debt is 37 percent of the company's value on a market value basis. What is the company's WACC
Answer:
8.12%
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted average cost of capital is shown below:
= Cost of equity × weight of equity + pretax cost of debt × (1 - tax rate) × weight of debt
= 10.81% × 0.63 + 5.45% × (1 - 0.35) × 0.37
= 6.81% + 1.31%
= 8.12%
We simply applied the above formula by considerin the capital structure with its weight so that the correct percentage could come
All of the following are assumptions facing opposing forces of reducing costs and adapting to local markets that international business people should be aware of except? Homogenous customer needs worldwide People around the world are willing to sacrifice preferences for lower prices and higher quality Economies of scale can be obtained in production and marketing through supplying worldwide Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix
Answer: Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix
Explanation:
Theodore Levitt came up with some assumptions facing opposing forces of reducing costs and adapting to local markets that international business people should be aware of which include;
On a global scale, customer needs are beginning to become homogeneous.People are willing to sacrifice their preferences for better quality products at a cheaper quality which gives Multinational Companies a chance to offer them better products than local producers due to their large sizes and Economies of scale.Having to supply the world can lead to Economies of scale in production and marketing due to the larger market.Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix is not one of the assumptions espoused by Theodore Levitt and so is the correct answer.
. Identify each of the following as (i) part of an expansionary fiscal policy, (ii) part of a contractionary fiscal policy, or (iii) not part of fiscal policy. a. The personal income tax rate is lowered. b. Congress cuts spending on defense. c. College students are allowed to deduct tuition costs from their federal income taxes. d. The corporate income tax rate is lowered. e. The state of Nevada builds a new tollway in an attempt to expand employment and ease traffic in Las Vegas.
Answer:
Option, A , D, E = expansionary fiscal policy.
Option B = Contractionary fiscal policy
Option C = not a part of fiscal policy
Explanation:
The expansionary fiscal policy occurred when there is a decrease in taxes and an increase in government expenditure (spendings). While contractionary fiscal policy occurs when taxes are increased by the government and there is a fall or decrease in government spendings. Therefore, Option A, Option D, and Option E are part of the expansionary fiscal policy.
Option B is a contractionary fiscal policy. While option C is not a part of fiscal policy
you have just deposited $11000 in to an account that promises to pay you an annual interest rate of 6.5 percent each year for the next 6 years. You will leave the money invested in the account and 10 years from today. you need to have $26300 in the account. What annual interest rate must you earn over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal
Answer:
Over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal the annual interest rate must be 13.14 %.
Explanation:
First find the Future value (FV) of $11,000 at the end of the 6th year as follows :
PV = -$11,000
r = 6.50%
p/yr = 1
n = 6
Pmt = $0
FV = ?
Using a financial calculator, the Future Value (FV) is $16,050.57
Therefore, the amount invested will amount to $16,050.57 in 6 year.
Next we then calculate the interest rate that will give us $26300 in the next four years (remainder of the 10 years)
PV = -$16,050.57
FV = $26,300
P/yr = 1
n = 4
Pmt = $0
r = ?
Using a financial calculator, the Interest rate (r) is 13.14 %
Conclusion :
Over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal the annual interest rate must be 13.14 %.
Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system in which a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is computed based on direct labor-hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 9.00 $ 7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $15.00 $ 17.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.40 4.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
These products are customized to some degree for specific customers.
Required:
1. The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $1,600,000. Using the company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products.
2. Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year:
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 8,000 8,000 16,000
Compute the unit product costs for the two products using the proposed ABC system.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 9.00 $ 7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $15.00 $ 17.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.40 4.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
A. First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Total direct labor hours= 0.4*4,000 + 4.8*8,000= 40,000
Overhead= 1,600,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,600,000/40,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $40 per direct labor hour
Now, we can determine the unitary product cost.
Mercon= 9 + 15 + 40*0.4= $37
Wurcon= 7 + 17 + 4.8*40= $216
B.
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 8,000 8,000 16,000
Now, we have two different allocation rates:
Direct-labor hours= 800,000/40,000= $20 per direct labor hour
Engineer desing= 800,000/16,000= $50 per engineer desing hour
Finally, we can determine the unitary product cost:
Engineer design per unit:
Mercon= 8,000/4,000= 2
Wurcon= 8,000/8,000= 1
Mercon= 9 + 15 + (20*0.4 + 50*2) = $132
Wurcon= 7 + 17 + (20*4.8 + 50*1)= $170
Gullett Corporation had $26,000 of raw materials on hand on November 1. During the month, the Corporation purchased an additional $75,000 of raw materials. The journal entry to record the purchase of raw materials would include a:
Answer:
debit to Raw Materials of $75,000
Explanation:
In this scenario, the journal entry to record the purchase of raw materials would include a debit to Raw Materials of $75,000. A debit is an entry recording a sum owed, listed on the left-hand side or column of an account. Therefore in accounting, since Gullet Corporation's purchase was for an "additional" $75,000 worth of raw material, they owe that money to the company and must make it up through sales that those materials should generate in the future. That is why it is recorded as a debit.
In terms of the global value system, when Kodak shifted manufacturing to China, what position did China then take in the system, relative to the U.S.
Answer: b. Upstream
Explanation:
The Upstream part of a company's value chain is the part closest to the suppliers and the raw materials they supply to the firm while the downstream relates to how the goods are distributed and sold after produced.
As such, the firm's manufacturing plants are closer to its Upstream value chain portion. When Kodak therefore shifted manufacturing to China, it made China more upstream than the United States as China now dealt more with Kodak suppliers and inputs than the US, who were now more downstream as the consumers.
At the beginning of year 1, Looby Corp. purchases equipment for $100,000. The equipment has a residual value of $20,000 and an expected useful life of 10 years. What is accumulated depreciation at the end of year 2 using straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Accumulated Depreciation at the end of year = $16,000
Explanation:
Under the straight line method of depreciation, the cost of an asset less the salvage value is spread equally over the expected useful life.
An equal amount is charged as annual depreciation over the life of the asset. The annual depreciation is calculated as follows:
Annual depreciation:
= (cost of assets - salvage value)/ Estimated useful life
Cost - 100,000
Residual value = 20,000
Estimated useful life = 10 years
Annual depreciation = (100,000- 20,000)/10 =8,000
Annual depreciation = 8,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = Annual depreciation× number of years
= 8,000× 2 = 16,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = $16,000
Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $70,000 or $200,000 with equal probabilities of .5. The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 6% per year. a. If you require a risk premium of 8%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?
Answer:
$118,421
Explanation:
first we must calculate the expected value of the risky portfolio = ($70,000 x 0.5) + ($200,000 x 0.5) = $135,000
since your risk premium is 8% and the risk free rate is 6%m then you should discount the expected value by 8% + 6% = 14% to determine its current market price
= $135,000 / (1 + 14%) = $118,421

Cooley Company's stock has a beta of 1.40, the risk-free rate is 25%, and the market risk premium is 5.50%. What is the firm's required rate of return
Answer: 12.2%
Explanation:
Given the variables available, the required rate of return can be computed using the Capital Asset Pricing Model with the formula;
Required Return = Risk-free rate + beta ( Market risk premium)
Required return = 4.25% + 1.4 * 5.5%
Required return = 4.25% + 7.7%
Required return = 12.2%
Note; The actual question says the Risk-free rate is 4.25%.
A machine costs $600000 and is expected to yield an after tax net income of $23000 each year. Managment predicts this machine has a 10 year service life and a $120000 salvage value, and it uses straight line depreciation. Compute this machine's accounting rate of return
Answer:
6.39%
Explanation:
The cost of the machine is $600,000
The net income is $23,000
The management predict a that it has a 10 years service life
The salvage value is $120,000
The first step is to calculate the average investment
Average investment= (Cost of machine+Salvage value)/2
= $600,000+$120,000/2
= $720,000/2
= $360,000
Therefore, the accounting rate of return can be calculated as follows
= Annual net income/Average investment
= $23,000/$360,000
= 0.0639×100
= 6.39%
Hence the accounting rate of return is 6.39%

Break-even point Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $160, the unit variable cost is $120, and the total fixed costs are $725,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $170.
A. Compute the current break-even sales (units).
B. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant.
Answer:
A. 18,125 units
B. 14,500 units
Explanation:
Break -even is the level of activity where a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $725,000 ÷ ( $160 - $120)
= 18,125 units
New Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $725,000 ÷ ( $170- $120)
= 14,500 units
