Data concerning Wislocki Corporation's single product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selling price $ 180 100 % Variable expenses 36 20 % Contribution margin $ 144 80 % Fixed expenses are $1,044,000 per month. The company is currently selling 9,000 units per month. Required: The marketing manager would like to introduce sales commissions as an incentive for the sales staff. The marketing manager has proposed a commission of $14 per unit. In exchange, the sales staff would accept an overall decrease in their salaries of $110,000 per month. The marketing manager predicts that introducing this sales incentive would increase monthly sales by 400 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
Answer:
$36,000 increase
Explanation:
The computation of the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change is shown below:
Particulars Current Proposed
Unit sales 9,000 units 9,400 units
Sales $1,620,000 $1,692,000
(9,000 units × $180) (9,400 units × $180)
less: variable cost -$324,000 -$470,000
(9,000 units × $36) (9,400 units × $50)
Contribution margin $1,296,000 $1,222,000
Less: fixed cost -$1,044,000 -$934,000
Net operating income $252,000 $288,000
Hence, there is an increase in net operating income by
= $288,000 - $252,000
= $36,000
The following information describes production activities of Mercer Manufacturing for the year.
Actual direct materials used 31,000 1bs. at $5.80 per lb
Actual direct labor used 10,600 hours for a total of $217,300
Actual units produced . 63,000
Budgeted standards for each unit produced are 0.50 pounds of direct material at $5.75 per pound and 10 minutes $21.50 per hour.
AQ = Actual Quantity
SQ=Standard Quantity
AP =Actual Price
SP =Standard Price
AH =Actual Hours
SH= Standard Hours
AR= Actual Rate
SR= Standard Rate
(1) Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances
(2) Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency varian rect labor rate and efficiency variances.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
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= (5.75 - 5.8)*31,000
Direct material price variance= $1,550 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (63,000*0.5 - 31,000)*5.75
Direct material quantity variance= $2,875 favorable
To calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (10,500 - 10,600)*21.5
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $2,150 unfavorable
Standard quantity= (10/60)*63,000= 10,500 hours
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (21.5 - 20.5)*10,600
Direct labor rate variance= $10,600 favorable
Actual rate= 217,300 / 10,600= $20.5
In an effort to reduce costs, many regional power companies want to lower their safety stock of electricity transformers. To support this desire, a large transformer OEM will store safety stock of transformers in a FedEx warehouse in Memphis, Tennessee in order to insure quick air delivery to any of these is power companies should the need arise. This collaboration will result in lower overall inventory across the supply chain, making it possible for all parties to lower their costs.
1. The OEM has signed up 14 power companies on this rapid replenishment program. On average, each of these power companies used to hold 38 transformers in their safety stock. In total, how many transformers would these companies hold?
2. To maintain the same service level after this transition, how many units (transformers) would the OEM need to hold (or pool) in the FedEx warehouse?
3. After making this change for these power companies and OEM, by how many units (transformers) will inventory go down?
4. By what percentage would their inventory decrease by consolidating their inventory from the dealerships into the warehouse?
Answer:
1. Total transformers held by power companies = 532
2. The total units of transformers that OEM needs to hold in the FedEx warehouse = 38
3. The inventory of transformers will go down by 494.
4. The percentage of the decrease = 93%.
Explanation:
Power companies signed up on the rapid replenishment program = 14
Average number of transformers held in safety stock by each power company = 38
Total number of transformers in safety stock = 532 (14 * 38)
Number of transformers needed in the FedEx warehouse = 38
Inventory will go down by 494 (532 - 38)
Percentage of inventory decrease = 93% (494/532 * 100)

Pewabic plans to sell 900 boxes of art tile in April, and estimates they'll craft 870 boxes during the month. Each box of tile requires 44 pounds of clay and a quarter hour of direct labor. Clay costs $0.40 per pound and pottery artisans are paid $12.00 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Pewabic has 3,900 pounds of clay in beginning inventory on April 1 and wants to have 4,500 pounds in ending inventory on April 30. What total amount should Pewabic budget for direct labor for the of April
Answer:
Direct labour cost budget= $2,610
Explanation:
The direct labor cost budget is a function of the production product budget. The quantity of the product budgeted to be produced would determine the labor cost budget.
Direct labour budget = Production budget × standard hours × standard labour rate per hour
Standard hour = a quarter direct labour = 1/4 hour
Direct labour budget = 870 × 0.1× $12= $2610
Direct labour cost budget= $2,610
Mary Magnolia wants to open a flower shop, the Petal Pusher, in a new mall. She has her choice of three different floor sizes, 200 square feet, 500 square feet, or 1,000 square feet. The monthly rent will be $1 a square foot. Mary estimates that if she has F square feet of floor space and sells y bouquets a month, her variable costs will be cv(y) = y^ 3/ 4F per month.
Required:
a. If she has 200 square feet of floor space, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function. At what amount of output is average cost minimized? At this level of output, how much is average cost?
b. If she has 500 square feet, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function. At what amount of output is average cost minimized? At this level of output, how much is average cost? .
c. If she has 1,000 square feet of floor space, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function. At what amount of output is average cost minimized? At this level of output, how much is average cost?
Answer:
a-1. We have:
MC = 3y^2 / 800 <=== Marginal cost (MC) function
AC = (200 / y) + (y^2 / 800) <=== Average cost (AC) function
a-2. The amount of output is 43.09 bouquets.
a-3. Average cost at this level is $6.96 per unit.
b-1. We have:
MC = 3y^2 / 2,000 <=== Marginal cost (MC) function
AC = (500 / y) + (y^2 / 2,000) <=== Average cost (AC) function
b-2. The amount of output is 79.37 bouquets.
b-3. Average cost at this level is $9.45 per unit.
c-1. We have:
MC = 3y^2 / 4,000 <=== Marginal cost (MC) function
AC = (1,000 / y) + (y^2 / 4,000) <=== Average cost (AC) function
c-2. The amount of output is 125.99 bouquets.
c-3. Average cost at this level is $11.91 per unit.
Explanation:
Given:
cv(y) = y^3/ 4F ………………… (1)
cf = fixed cost = F
Therefore, total cost (C) per month is as follows:
C(y) = cf + cv(y) = y^ 3/ 4F
C(y) = F + y^3 / 4F ……………………… (2)
a-1. If she has 200 square feet of floor space, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function.
This implies that:
F = 200
Marginal cost (MC) function is obtained by taking the first derivative of equation (1) and substituting F = 200 as follows:
MC = cv’(y)
MC = 3y^2 / (4 * 200)
MC = 3y^2 / 800 ………………. (3) <= Marginal cost (MC) function
Average cost (AC) function can be obtained by dividing equation (2) by y, substituting F = 200 and solve as follows:
AC = C’(y) = (200 / y) + (y^3 / 4F) / y
AC = (200 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 200)) / y
AC = (200 / y) + (y^2 / 800) …………………. (4) <= Average cost (AC) function
a-2. At what amount of output is average cost minimized?
Since average cost is minimized when MC = AC, we therefore equate equations (3) and (4) and solve for y as follows:
3y^2 / 800 = (200 / y) + (y^2 / 800)
0.00375y^2 = (200 / y) + 0.00125y^2
0.00375y^2 - 0.00125y^2 = 200 / y
0.0025y^2 = 200 / y
(0.0025y^2)y = 200
0.0025y^3 = 200
y^3 = 200 / 0.0025
y^3 = 80,000
y = 80,000^(1/3)
y = 43.09
Therefore, the amount of output at which is average cost minimized is 43.09 bouquets.
a-3. At this level of output, how much is average cost?
Substituting y = 43.09 into equation (4), we have:
AC = (200 / 43.09) + (43.09^2 / 800)
AC = 6.96
Therefore, average cost at this level is $6.96 per unit.
b-1. If she has 500 square feet, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function.
This implies that:
F = 500
Marginal cost (MC) function is obtained by taking the first derivative of equation (1) and substituting F = 500 as follows:
MC = cv’(y)
MC = 3y^2 / (4 * 500)
MC = 3y^2 / 2,000 ………………. (5) <= Marginal cost (MC) function
Average cost (AC) function can be obtained by dividing equation (2) by y, substituting F = 500 and solve as follows:
AC = C’(y) = (500 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 500)) / y
AC = (500 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 500)) / y
AC = (500 / y) + (y^2 / 2,000) …………………. (6) <= Average cost (AC) function
b-2. At what amount of output is average cost minimized?
Since average cost is minimized when MC = AC, we therefore equate equations (5) and (6) and solve for y as follows:
3y^2 / 2,000 = (500 / y) + (y^2 / 2,000)
0.0015y^2 = (500 / y) + 0.0005y^2
0.0015y^2 - 0.0005y^2 = 500 / y
0.001y^2 = 500y
0.001y^2 * y = 500
0.001y^3 = 500
y^3 = 500 / 0.001
y^3 = 500,000
y = 500,000^(1/3)
y = 79.37
Therefore, the amount of output at which is average cost minimized is 79.37 bouquets.
b-3. At this level of output, how much is average cost?
Substituting y = 79.37 into equation (6), we have:
AC = (500 / 79.37) + (79.37^2 / 2,000)
AC = 9.45
Therefore, average cost at this level is $9.45 per unit.
c-1. If she has 1,000 square feet, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function.
This implies that:
F = 1,000
Marginal cost (MC) function is obtained by taking the first derivative of equation (1) and substituting F = 1,000 as follows:
MC = cv’(y)
MC = 3y^2 / (4 * 1,000)
MC = 3y^2 / 4,000 ………………. (7) <= Marginal cost (MC) function
Average cost (AC) function can be obtained by dividing equation (2) by y, substituting F = 1,000 and solve as follows:
AC = C’(y) = (1,000 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 1,000)) / y
AC = (1,000 / y) + (y^3 / (4,000)) / y
AC = (1,000 / y) + (y^2 / 4,000) …………………. (8) <= Average cost (AC) function
c-2. At what amount of output is average cost minimized?
Since average cost is minimized when MC = AC, we therefore equate equations (7) and (8) and solve for y as follows:
3y^2 / 4,000 = (1,000 / y) + (y^2 / 4,000)
0.00075y^2 = (1,000 / y) + 0.00025y^2
0.00075y^2 - 0.00025y^2 = 1,000 / y
0.0005y^2 = 1,000 / y
0.0005y^2 * y = 1,000
y^3 = 1,000 / 0.0005
y^3 = 2,000,000
y = 2,000,000^(1/3)
y = 125.99
Therefore, the amount of output at which is average cost minimized is 125.99 bouquets.
c-3. At this level of output, how much is average cost?
Substituting y = 125.99 into equation (8), we have:
AC = (1,000 / 125.99) + (125.99^2 / 4,000)
AC = 11.91
Therefore, average cost at this level is $11.91 per unit.

The following are budgeted data: January February March Sales in units 16,900 23,800 19,900 Production in units 19,900 20,900 20,000 One pound of material is required for each finished unit. The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 25% of the following month's production needs. Purchases of raw materials for February would be budgeted to be:
Answer:
Purchases= 20,675 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production:
Feb= 20,900
Mar= 20,000
One pound of material is required for each finished unit.
Desired ending inventory= 25% of the following month's production needs.
To calculate the purchase required for February, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 20,900 + (20,000*0.25) - (20,900*0.25)
Purchases= 20,675

Basis For depreciation; Recovery Period ; Convention ; Method ; Depreciation deduction
2,000 ; 5 years ; HY ; 200 DB ; 400
40,000 ; 7 years ; HY ; 200 DB ; 6,573
Explanation:
Accelerated method of depreciation is used by businesses for accounting and income tax purposes. The depreciation is calculated in such a way that the depreciation expense is higher in early years and lower in later years. Pepe is also using this method to account for his business assets. The depreciation expense for computer equipment and manufacturing equipment's totals $6,973.
Areas of land are divided by appropriate authorities into zones within which various uses are permitted. Thus, zoning is a technique of land-use planning as a tool of urban planning used by local governments in most developed countries. Because of the importance of zoning and regulating the manner of property use, which of the following statements is most accurate?
a. changing zoning to allow some landowner to use property other than what is permitted for that land is 'spot zoning' and unlawful in most states
b. it is almost impossible to obtain a variance in zoning
c. variances were rendered unlawful pursuant to the federal civil rights laws because they were used to discriminate against people unlawfully
d. it is possible to obtain a variance to use property for purposes other than how the property is zoned, but in granting permission for such a special use the governing entity granting such permission must use its discretion to insure compatible use and that zoning scheme is not disrupted
Answer: d. it is possible to obtain a variance to use property for purposes other than how the property is zoned, but in granting permission for such a special use the governing entity granting such permission must use its discretion to insure compatible use and that zoning scheme is not disrupted.
Explanation:
Variances are exceptions to the zoning rules and laws applied by the governing entity in charge of the zoning and enable users to use a property for other reasons that the zone permit may allow.
The type of variance being sought and the governing entity are very important because some variances are easier to get and some entities are more flexible.
In all cases however, when a variance is granted, the governing entity should ensure it uses its discretion to make sure that the variance is used well and that the zoning scheme is not disrupted.
Answer:
D. it is possible to obtain a variance to use property for purposes other than how the property is zoned, but in granting permission for such a special use the governing entity granting such permission must use its discretion to insure compatible use and that zoning scheme is not disrupted

Why is the cost of goods sold account part of a trading business only?
The cost of goods sold account is part of a trading business, but not seen in the income statement of a service business. This is because in a
service business, no
goods are sold to the consumers.
Answer:
Indeed, the cost of goods sold account is part of a trading business, but not seen in the income statement of a service business, because in a service business, no material goods are sold to the consumers. In this way, contrary to what happens in the sale of goods, in the sale of services the seller does not offer a material with a previous production cost to the buyer, but rather offers the performance of a certain task, with which there is no material component in the offer, but rather an execution of an act and the knowledge of how to carry out said execution by the person providing the service.

Using the supply and demand analysis of the market for reserves, indicate what happens to the federal funds rate, borrowed reserves, and nonborrowed reserves, holding everything else constant, under the following situations. a. The economy is surprisingly strong, leading to an increase in the amount of checkable deposits. b. Banks expect an unusually large increase in with-drawals from checking deposit accounts in the future. c. The Fed raises the target federal funds rate. d. The Fed raises the interest rate on reserves above the current equilibrium federal funds rate. e. The Fed reduces reserve requirements. f. The Fed reduces reserve requirements and then off-sets this action by conducting an open market sale of securities.
Answer:
The federal fund rate will increase, non borrowed reserves will decrease and no change in borrowed reserves.
Explanation:
Federal fund rate is an interest rate which banks pay off each night on depository funds. This rate can be above the discount rate because banks prefer to pay higher market rate than to borrow from Fed. When the fed raises target federal fund than federal fund rate will increase causing a decline in no borrowed reserves.

Short Company purchased land by paying $11,000 cash on the purchase date and agreed to pay $11,000 for each of the next six years beginning one-year from the purchase date. Short's incremental borrowing rate is 7%. On the balance sheet as of the purchase date, after the initial $11,000 payment was made, the liability reported is closest to: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Answer: $52,431.50
Explanation:
The liability reported will be the present value of the six payments of $11,000.
Since this is a constant amount, it will be an annuity:
= 11,000 * Present value interest factor of an annuity, 6 years, 7%
= 11,000 * 4.7665
= $52,431.50
Any difference between this and any options given is down to rounding errors. Pick the closest figure.
Neville is a lawyer at a large law firm where he earns a salary of $170,000 per year. He is thinking of leaving the firm to set up his own law office. To do this, he would need to invest $140,000 of his savings, which currently earns 5% in interest each year. He estimates that if he starts a law office, his annual revenue will be $510,000, and his explicit financial costs will be $300,000. How much would Neville earn in economic profits or losses if he starts his own law office
Answer:
$33,000
Explanation:
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Accounting profit = $510,000 - $300,000 = $210,000
Implicit costs = amount he would forgo as salary in the large law firm and interest he would lose on his investment
Interest he would lose on his investment = 0.05 x 140,000 = $7000
Implicit cost = $170,000 + $7000 = $177,000
Economic profit = $210,000 - $177,000 = $33,000

A reconciliation of Zack's Company's pretax accounting income with its taxable income for 2018, its first year of operations, is as follows: Pretax accounting income $3,000,000 Excess tax depreciation (150,000) Taxable income $2,850,000 The excess tax depreciation will result in equal net taxable amounts in each of the next three years. Enacted tax rates are 40% in 2018, 35% in 2019 and 2020, and 30% in 2021. The total deferred tax liability to be reported on Charles's balance sheet at December 31, 2018, is
Answer:
the total deferred tax liability is $50,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total deferred tax liability is shown below:
Tax Depreciation 2019 $17500 {[$150000 ÷ 3] × 35%}
Tax Depreciation 2020 $17500 {[$150000 ÷ 3] × 35%}
Tax Depreciation 2021 $15000 {[$150000 ÷ 3] × 30%}
Total Deferred Tax Liability $50,000
Hence, the total deferred tax liability is $50,000
One of two methods must be used to produce expansion anchors. Method A costs $80,000 initially and will have a $15,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $30,000 per year. Method B will have a first cost of $120,000, an operating cost of $8,000 per year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. At an interest rate of 8% per year, the present worth of Method B is closest to:
Answer:
At an interest rate of 8% per year, the present worth of Method B is closest to:
= $108,856.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Method A Method B
Initial investment $80,000 $120,000
Salvage value 15,000 40,000
Period of investment 3 years 3 years
Annual operating costs $30,000 $8,000
Interest rate per year 8% 8%
Present value annuity factor = 2.577
Discounted present value factor = 0.794
Present worth:
Method B Method A
Initial investment cost ($120,000 * 1) $120,000 $80,000
Operating costs = ($8,000 * 2.577) = 20,616 77,310
Salvage value = $40,000 * 0.794 = (31,760) (11,910)
Present worth = $108,856 $145,400
b) Using the present worth analysis technique, Method B should be used to produce the expansion anchors, as it costs less than Method A. The present worth analysis method is an equivalence method of discounting a project's cash flows to a single present value. With this analysis, it becomes easier to determine the project that should be accepted or rejected based on their economic realities.
