Wholesaler Z proposes to buy 1,500 additional units at $140 per unit. Which offer, if either, should Viking Corporation accept

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The variable cost is $100 per unit.

Wholesaler Y offers to buy 2,000 additional units at $120 per unit.

Wholesaler Z proposes to buy 1,500 additional units at $140 per unit.

We need to choose the best alternative, in this case, the one with the higher increase in income:

Effect on income= total contribution margin

Wholesaler Y:

Effect on income= 2,000*(120 - 100)= $40,000 increase

Wholesaler Z:

Effect on income= 1,500*(140 - 100)= $60,000 increase

The best option is to sell the units to Wholesaler Z. If Wholesaler Y accepts, you can still sell 500 more units.

a. will never decrease due to the way the cost is calculated.
b. will never increase due to the way the cost is calculated.
c. may increase or decrease between periods, depending on the fluctuation of the cost of the direct materials.
d. will only increase if conversion costs increase as well.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: May increase or decrease between periods, depending on the fluctuation of the cost of the direct materials.

Explanation:

To begin with, in the field of business a manager or an account would perfectly know that when using the cost of production report with the purpose to analyze the change in direct materials costs per equivalent unit compared to conversion cost per unit the investigation will reveal that the direct material costs may increase or decrease between periods, depending on the fluctuation of the cost of those materials due to the fact that the fluctuation mentioned will arise if the company starts using more direct material in the production so that means that the volumen will increase as well as the costs of it

Answers

Answer: . an increase in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that during the 1990s, the economy of the United States was experiencing long-run economic growth, low unemployment, and a stable inflation rate.

The reason for this is due to an increase in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply. This two factors will lead to the long run economic growth which the United States experienced.

The Grondas, who owned a party store along with land, fixtures, equipment, and a liquor license, entered into a contract to sell their liquor license and fixtures to Harbor Park Market in an agreement that was expressly conditioned on approval by the Grondas' attorney. The Grondas submitted the contract to their attorney but before the attorney had approved it, they received a second, better offer and submitted that contract to the attorney as well. The attorney reviewed both agreements and approved the second one. Harbor Park Market sued the Grondas for breach of contract. Will their suit succeed?

Answers

Answer:

No the suit will not succeed as their is no agreement

Explanation:

The contract was conditional contract. As the condition explicitly said that, the right to agree on terms and conditions is explicitly attorney's right. When the attorney has not agreed on the terms and conditions of Harbor Park, the company hasn't formed any contract. Furthermore, there is no limitation on Grondas to consider other available options and attorney is also not obliged to agree to Harbor's offer.

Thus the suit that says Grondas has breached the contract is meaningless and will not succeed in the court.

When the price of erasers increases from $1.50 to $2.50, the quantity demanded of pencils is unchanged. The cross-price elasticity of demand between erasers and pencils is

Answers

Answer:

The cross elasticity of demand is zero

Explanation:

Cross elasticity of demand measures the percentage change in the quantity demand of a product occasioned by a change in the price of another but related commodity.

If the the commodities are complements, the cross of elasticity of demand between them would be  negative. his implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a decrease(increase) in the demand of the other.

If the the commodities are substitutes, the cross elasticity  of demand between them would be  positive. This implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a increase (decrease) in the quantity demand of the other.

Where the cross elasticity of demand is zero, this implies that the goods are not in any way related. This implies that a change in the price of one would produce no change in the quantity demand of the other.

Swing Co. has 9% annual coupon bonds that are callable and have 18 years left until maturity. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, and their current market price is $1,130.35. However, Swing Co. may call the bonds in eight years at a call price of $1,060. What are the YTM and the yield to call (YTC) on Swing Co.’s bonds?

Answers

Answer:

YTM = 7.77%

YTC = 7.62%

Explanation:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

YTM = {90 + [(1,000 - 1,130.35)/18]} / [(1,000 + 1,130.35)/2]

YTM = 82.758333 / 1,065.175 = 0.07769 = 7.77%

YTC = {coupon + [(call value - market value)/n]} / [(call value + market value)/2]

YTC = {90 + [(1,060 - 1,130.35)/8]} / [(1,000 + 1,130.35)/2]

YTC = 81.20625 / 1,065.175 = 0.07623 = 7.62%

Answers

Answer:

Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000

Explanation:

In the consolidated balance sheet, we record the sum of both parent and subsidiary assets. Here pumpkin and spice both have an inventory of $30,000.

Total inventory in consolidated balance = Pimpkin's Inventory + fair value of Spice's inventory

Total inventory in consolidated balance = $30,000 + $30,000

Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000

Consider the market for minivans (Some would describe a minivan as a family car). Looking at the two statements, which one is true and which one is false? Then again, are they both true or both false? Statement 1: People decide to have fewer children. The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right. Statement 2: The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth (Hint: Minivan would be considered a normal good). The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right.

Answers

Answer:

both statements are false

Explanation:

if People decide to have fewer children, there would be less demand for minivans as a result the demand curve would shift to the left.

also, if The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth and minivans are normal goods, the demand for minivans would fall and the demand curve would shift to the left.

A leftward shift signifies a fall in demand while a rightward shift signals a rise in demand

Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls

The comparative cash flow statements from Sears and Wal-Mart are presented above. Amounts presented are in millions. Review both statements considering what you've learned in this chapter about the cash flow statement. Answer the following questions: When analyzing a company's cash flow statement, which section of the statement (operating, investing or financing) do you believe is the best predictor of a company's future profitability? Why? Which company do you believe is healthier based on the cash flow statements presented? Provide at least two specific examples from the statements. Your initial post is due four (4) days prior to the discussion due date or points will be deducted from your discussion score. Please review the discussion board requirements above.

Answers

The complete question is attached.

Answer:

Sears Holding Corporation and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

1. The section of the cash flow statement that is the best predictor of a company's future profitability is the Operating Activities Section.  The reason is that the operating activities section shows the net cash from operating activities or the core business activities of the entity.  A business entity's profitability is not determined by subsidiary activities like financing and investing activities.  But it is ascertained by reviewing its operating activities which also define the mission of the business and show the strategies it can deploy to attain its goals.

2. Walmart Stores, Inc. is by far healthier than Sears Holdings Corporation, at least based on the January 30, 2016 statements of cash flows.  For instance, Walmart Stores recorded a Net Cash Flow from operations in the sum of $27,389 million while Sears recorded a negative Net Cash Flow from operations in the sum of $2,167 million.  Again, from the operating activities sections, one can see that Walmart Stores, Inc. was able to make a net income before adjustments of $15,080 million, whereas Sears Holding Corporation performed abysmally poor by incurring a net loss of $1,128 million.

Explanation:

The Sears and Walmart's statements of cash flows are one of the three main financial statements prepared and presented by Sears Holding Corporation or Walmart Stores, Inc. to its stockholders and the general public to show financial information about its activities.  Specifically, the statements of cash flows for Sears and Walmart show the flow of cash under three main activity headings: operating, financing, and investing.  

Two methods can be used by Sears and Walmart to prepare the statement.  They include the indirect method, which starts from the net income, and the direct method, which shows the cash inflows and outflows for each cash flow item for Sears and Walmart.

Calculate the forecasted cost at completion if the total budgeted cost is $15,000, the cumulative actual cost is $10,000, and the cumulative earned value is $12,000.

Answers

Answer:

$13,000

Explanation:

The total budgeted cost is $15,000

The cumulative actual cost is $10,000

The cumulative earned value is $12,000

Therefore, the forecasted cost at completion can be calculated as follows

= Cumulative actual cost + ( Budgeted cost-Cumulative earned value)

= $10,000 + ($15,000-$12,000)

= $10,000 + $3,000

= $13,000

Hence the forecasted cost at completion is $13,000

Playa Inc. owns 85 percent of Seashore Inc. During 20X8, Playa sold goods with a 25 percent gross profit to Seashore. Seashore sold all of these goods in 20X8. How should 20X8 consolidated income statement items be adjusted g

Answers

Answer:

Debit the Cost of Sales  and,

Credit the Revenue.

Explanation:

Transactions that occur within a group of companies must be eliminated. Playa is a Parent (85%) and Seashore Inc is a Subsidiary.

The effect of the Sale by Playa to Seashore is that Group Cost of Sales and Revenue would be over-valued by the price of intragroup sale.

Thus, the adjustment for this intragroup sale, is to Debit the Cost of Sales  and Credit the Revenue.

Answer:

Buhao Construction

a) Debt-to-Equity Ratio if it borrows $220,000

= Debit/Equity

= $220,000/$1,700,000

= 12.94%

b. EPS = $195,800/17,000

= $11.52

c. EPS = $173,800/17,000

= $10.22

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Outstanding Equity = 17,000 shares x $100 = $1,700,000

Interest rate = 11%

It is assumed that Buhao Construction pays no taxes

EBIT = $130,000

Debit = $220,000

Interest Expense = $24,200

Net Income = $195,800 ($220,000 - 24,200)

Debit = $420,000

Interest Expense = $46,200

Net Income = $173,800 ($220,000 - 46,200)

b) Debt-to-Equity Ratio of Buhao Construction is the relationship in ratio terms between debts and equity of the company.  It shows the percentage of debts over the stockholders' equity.

c) EPS or Earnings per share shows the net income of Buhao Construction that can be attributed to each share.  Stockholders use this measure to learn the profits that are generated for each share by the company during the period.  A high EPS indicates that the business is profitable for stockholders.

Flapjack Corporation had 7,600 actual direct labor hours at an actual rate of $12.41 per hour. Original production had been budgeted for 1,100 units, but only 950 units were actually produced. Labor standards were 7.0 hours per completed unit at a standard rate of $13.00 per hour. The direct labor time variance is

Answers

Answer:

-$12,350 Unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of direct labor variance is shown below:

Labor time variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) × standard rate

= (950 × 7.0 - 7,600) × $13

= (6,650 - 7,600) × $13

= -950 × $13

= -$12,350 Unfavorable

Therefore for computing the direct labor variance we simply applied the above formula by considering the given information

Guaranteed Payment: 20,000

Therefore what Percy will report will be: $24,000 ordinary income

$1,600 interest income

$20,000 guaranteed payment.

On the first day of 2016, Holthausen COmpany acquired the assets of Leftwich Company including several intangible assests. These include a patent on Ledtwicj's primary product, a device called a plentiscope. Leftwich carried the patent on its book for $1,500, but Holthausen believes that the fair value is $200,000. The patent expires in seven years, but companies can be expected to develop competing patents within three years. Holthausen believes that, with expected technlogical improvements, the product is marketable for a t least 20 years.
The registration of the trademark for the Leftwich name is scheduled to expire in 15 years. However, the Leftwich brand name, which Holthausen believes is worth $500,000, could be applied to related products for many years beyond that.
As part of the acquisition, Leftwich's principal researcher left the company. As part of the acquisition, he signed a five-year noncompetition agreement that prevents him from developing competing products. Holthausen paid the scientist $300,000 to sign the agreement.
a. What amount should be capitalized for each of teh identifiable intangible assets?
b. What amount of amortization expense should Holthausen record in 2016 for each asset?

Answers

Answer:

Holthausen Company and Leftwich Company

Intangible Assets:

a) Amount to be capitalized:

1) Patent: $200,000

2) Trademark: $500,000

3) Non-competition Agreement: $300,000

b) Amount of Amortization Expense for 2016:

1) Patent: $200,000/7 years = $28,571.43

2) Trademark: $500,000/15 years = $33,333,33

3) Non-competition Agreement: $300,000/5 = $60,000

Explanation:

The fair values of the "plentiscope" patent and Leftwich's branded trademark should be capitalized as intangible assets, while the cost of the non-competition agreement with Leftwich's principal researcher should be capitalized.

For the amortization of the Leftwich-connected intangibles, we have adopted the straight-line method, in the absence of any prescribed method.  The patent expiration in 7 years was used as the basis for its useful life, despite Holthausen belief that the product could be marketable for at least 20 years.

The trademark was amortized over its remaining useful life of 15 years as given, while the non-competition agreement was amortized for 5 years when the agreement remains effective.

Bagwell's net income for the year ended December 31, Year 2 was $175,000. Information from Bagwell's comparative balance sheets is given below. Compute the cash paid for dividends during Year 2. At December 31 Year 2 Year 1 Common Stock, $5 par value $500,000 $450,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par 948,000 853,000 Retained earnings 688,000 582,000 A. $95,000. B. $201,000. C. $69,000. D. $79,000. E. $50,000.

Answers

Answer:

C. $69,000

Explanation:

Computation of the cash paid for dividends during Year 2

First step is to calculate the difference in Retained earnings for Year 2 and Year 1

Retained earnings =$688,000-$582,000

Difference in retained earnings =$106,000

Second step is to calculate for the cash paid for dividends during Year 2

Using this formula

Cash paid dividend = Year 2 Net income- Retained earnings difference

Let plug in the formula

Cash paid dividend=$175,000-$106,000

Cash paid dividend =$69,000

Therefore the cash paid for dividends during Year 2 will be $69,000

If the USA could produce 1 ton of potatoes or 0.5 tons of wheat per worker per year, while Ireland could produce 3 tons of potatoes or 2 tons of wheat per worker per year, there can be mutual gains from trade if:

Answers

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here are the options:

A. The USA specializes in potatoes because of its comparative advantage in producing potatoes.

B. The USA specializes in wheat because of its absolute advantage in producing wheat.

C. The USA specializes in wheat because of its comparative advantage in producing wheat.

D. There can be no mutual gains from trade.

The correct answer to this question is A. The USA specializes in potatoes because of its comparative advantage in producing potatoes.

Explanation:

In economics, a country has a comparative advantage, if it can produce a specific good at a lower opportunity cost, which implies the loss of choosing the product over others is low. Also, mutual gains are possible if each country specializes in the product with a comparative advantage. Moreover, to know which country has an opportunity advantage you need to calculate the opportunity cost of 1 unit, or, in this case, 1 ton of the product.

In the case of the U.S. you already know 1 ton of potatoes is equivalent to 0.5 tons of wheat, which is the opportunity cost. Now, let's calculate this factor for the production of 1 ton of potatoes in Ireland

3 tons of potatoes = 2 tons of wheat 1. Use 3 (tons of potatoes) and divide both numbers into three

3 tons of potatoes/ 3 = 2 tons of wheat / 3

1 ton of potatoes = 0.66

This shows the opportunity cost in the USA is lower and this represents a comparative advantage as less is lost when potatoes are chosen over wheat. Thus, to benefit both countries the USA should specialize in potatoes due to the higher comparative advantage or lower opportunity cost.

An electric power plant uses solid waste for fuel in the production of electricity. the cost Y in dollars per hour to produce electricity is Y=11+0.4X+0.29X2, where X is in megawatts. Revenue in dollars per hour from the sale of electricity is 16X−0.2X2. Find the value of X that gives maximum profit. (Round to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.

Explanation:

Before answering the question, Y and Revenue (R) given in the question are first correctly restated as follows:

Cost = Y = 11 + 0.4X + 0.29X^2 .......................................... (1)

Revenue = R = 16X − 0.2X^2 .............................................. (2)

Differentiating each of equations (1) and (2) with respect to X to obtain marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR), we have:

dY/dX = MC = 0.4 + 0.58X .................................................. (4)

dR/dX = MR = 16 - 0.4X .......................................................  (5)

In production theory, profit is maximized when MR = MC. Therefore, we equate equations (4) and (5) and solve for X as follows:

0.4 + 0.58X = 16 - 0.4X

0.58X + 0.4X = 16 - 0.4

0.98X = 15.6

X = 15.6 / 0.98

X = 15.92

Therefore, the value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.

eal per capita GDP in Singapore in 1961 was about $450, but it doubled to about $900.00 by 1978. a. What was the average annual economic growth rate in Singapore over the 17.00 years from 1961 to 1978

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 4.16%

Explanation:

Per capita GDP is the average income earned per person in a given country during a given period of time usually a year.

Per capita GDP in Singapore in 1961 equals $450

Per capita GDP in Singapore in 1978 equals $900

Difference between 1978 and 1961 is 17 years.

The formula for economic growth rate is;

[(End value/beginning value)^1)/17] - 1

[($900/$450)^1/17] - 1

1.041613 - 1

0.0416

The annual payment is an annuity and can be found as:

Loan= Annuity x Present value interest factor of annuity, 4%, 2 years

15,000 = Annuity x 1.886

Annuity = 15,000 / 1.886

= $7,953

Principal repaid in first year = Amount paid - interest

= 7,953 - (15,000 x 4%)

=  7,953 - 600

= $7,353

Principal repaid in second year

= 7,953 - (4% x 7,647)

= $7,647

Assets decrease, expenses increase, and net income and owners' equity decrease. b. Assets decrease and owners' equity and expenses both increase. c. Has no effect on the financial statements if the journal entry is in balance. d. Assets increase, expenses decrease, and net income and owners' equity increase.

Answers

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

From the calculation below, it is clearly seen that Assets are being decreased and expenses are increased therefore Option A is correct.

Workings

Depreciation expense = (cost - residual value) / useful life

Depreciation expense = 10,000 - 2,000 / 5

Depreciation expense = $1600

Accumulated depreication = depreciation x 2 years -= $3,200

Carrying value = 10,000 - 3,200

Carrying value = $6,800

Disposal = $5,000

Loss on disposal = $1,800

The market has an expected rate of return of 11.4 percent. The current nominal expected yield on U.S. Treasury bills is 4.3 percent. The inflation rate is 2.2 percent. What is the market risk premium? (round answer to whole number with two decimal points: i.e., use 1.23 percent instead of 0.0123)

Answers

Answer:

7.1%

Explanation:

According to the CAPM,

expected market return = risk free rate + market risk premium

11.4% = 4.3% + market risk premium

market risk premium  = 11.4% - 4.3% = 7.1%
