2.Computation of Contribution Margin per unit and Contribution Margin Ratio:
a) Contribution Margin per unit
= Contribution Margin divided by Units sold
= $540,000/4,500
= $120 per unit
b) Contribution Margin Ratio
= Contribution per unit/Selling price * 100
= $120/$300 * 100
= 40%
3. For each dollar of sales, contribution per dollar
= 40% of $1
= $0.40
Explanation:
a) Data:
Sales = 4,500 drums
Selling price = $300 each
Sales Revenue = 4,500 x $300 = $1,350,000
Variable production costs:
Plastic for casing $121,500
Drum stands 162,000
Wages of assembly workers 414,000
Total variable prodn. costs $697,500
Variable selling costs :
Sales commissions 112,500
Total variable costs $810,000
Fixed manufacturing costs:
Taxes on factory 15,000
Factory maintenance 30,000
Factory machinery depreciation 90,000
Total Manufacturing overhead $135,000
Fixed selling and administrative costs :
Lease of equipment for sales staff 30,000
Accounting staff salaries 80,000
Administrative management salaries 160,000
Total fixed selling and admin. costs $270,000
Income Tax Rate = 35%
b) Tight Drums Company's contribution margin income statement is a financial statement that separates all the variable costs from the fixed costs. The difference between Tight Drums' Sales Revenue of $1,350,00 and the Total Variable Costs of $810,000 is called the Contribution Margin.
The Contribution margin of $540,000 shows how much of the sales revenue is left to cover the fixed costs totalling $405,000 and generate operating income, after deducting all the variable costs.
This contribution margin can be expressed per unit by dividing the contribution margin of $540,000 by the 4,500 units sold. The per unit value can then be expressed as a ratio of the selling price. From the contribution margin ratio, we can estimate how much is left per dollar of sales for Tight Drums Company to cover its fixed costs and generate operating income.
Scenario: Your direct supervisor is interested in a project you are currently working on, and they have asked to increase the scope to increase the department's goals. How would you respond if your supervisor was not the project sponsor?
Scenario: Your direct supervisor is interested in a project you are currently working on, and they have asked to increase the scope to increase the department's goals. How would you respond if your supervisor was not the project sponsor?
ANSWER:
Take down his/her suggestions. The first thing is to show respect. Accept thoughts and contributions towards that project. Most times a project "sponsor" is not someone who is a professional in the field or discipline that the project is about.
If your direct supervisor has the idea of increasing the scope of the project, take note of his/her reasons and if they will truly bring the achievement of more departmental goals, then relay the idea of expansion to the project sponsor.
Answer:
At this point, the important thing is to remain calm and in control. Your supervisor, like everyone else, is likely to get confused and blame people for things that are not their fault, or even find fault that does not exist.
In that case, you should wait for him to finish speaking, ask for permission to speak and explain how you did your job and show how your supervisor is wrong about the conclusion he made. This must be done calmly and politely, always maintaining respect.
Explanation:
Periodic interest rates. You have a savings account in which you leave the funds for one year without adding to or withdrawing from the account. Which would you rather have: a daily compounded rate of 0.050%, a weekly compounded rate of 0.355%, a monthly compounded rate of 1.15%, a quarterly compounded rater of 4.25%, a semiannually compounded rate of 7.5%, or an annually compounded rate of 18%? What is the effective annual rate (EAR) of a daily compounded rate of 0.050%?
Answer:
Choose an annually compounded rate of 18%
The effective annual rate (EAR) of a daily compounded rate of 0.050% is 0.05001%.
Explanation:
We need to find the effective annual rate of interest for each nominal interest and compare this for the different alternatives.
The effective annual rate of interest is the annual rate that if compounded once a year would give us the same result as the same result as the interest per period compounded a number of times a year.
Conversion of Nominal to Effective Interest Rate.
1. A daily compounded rate of 0.050%
Use a financial calculator to enter the data
P/YR = 365
Nominal interest = 0.050%
Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 0.05001%
2. A weekly compounded rate of 0.355%
Use a financial calculator to enter the data
P/YR = 52
Nominal interest = 0.355%
Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 0.3556 %
3. A monthly compounded rate of 1.15%
Use a financial calculator to enter the data
P/YR = 12
Nominal interest = 1.15%
Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 1.1561%
4. A quarterly compounded rater of 4.25%
Use a financial calculator to enter the data
P/YR = 4
Nominal interest = 4.25%
Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 4,32%
5. A semiannually compounded rate of 7.5%
Use a financial calculator to enter the data
P/YR = 2
Nominal interest = 7.5%
Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 7.64%
6. an annually compounded rate of 18%
Use a financial calculator to enter the data
P/YR = 1
Nominal interest = 18%
Thus Effective Interest rate = ? 18%
Conclusion :
Choose the option giving the HIGHEST effective annual rate.
Thu, I would rather have an annually compounded rate of 18%.

A granary allocates the cost of unprocessed wheat to the production of feed, flour, and starch. For the current period, unprocessed wheat was purchased for $240,000, and the following quantities of product and sales revenues were produced.
Product Pounds Price per Pound
Feed 100,000 $0.70
Flour 50,000 2.20
Starch 20,000 1.00
How much of the $240,000 cost should be allocated to feed?
a. $24,500.
b. $84,000.
c. $90,000.
d. $70,000.
e. $200,000.
Answer:
$84,000
Explanation:
A granny allocates the costs of unprocessed wheat to production of feed, flour and starch
The unprocessed wheat was bought at the price of $240,000
The first step is to calculate the total amount of the products(feed, flour and starch)
Feed= 100,000×0.70= 70,000
Flour= 50,000×2.0= 110,000
Starch= 20,000×1.0= 20,000
Total cost= 70,000+110,000+20,000
= $200,000
Therefore, the amount that should be allocated to the feed can be calculated as follows
= $70,000/$200,000×$240,000
= 0.35×$240,000
= $84,000
Hence the cost that should be allocated to the feed is $84,000
Choose an example of a type of new company you could start, and then use this company idea to answer the questions below. You might choose to open a hair salon, a babysitting service, a record store, or many other things. This can be the same type of company you chose in assignment 8, or it can be different.
a. Describe the type of company you chose.
b. If you needed to get funding for your company, would you prefer to get debt funding or equity funding? Explain why you would prefer this type.
Answer:
Find the explanation below.
Explanation:
1. The company I chose to operate would be Celebrity Hair Salon. The Celebrity Hair Salon is a standard salon with comfortable furnishings and state-of-the-art equipment intended to tend to the needs of celebrities. Clients are expected to make appointments for their services which the salon strictly adheres to.
2. I would prefer to fund this new business through debt financing. Debt funding entails borrowing funds from Creditors with the intention of paying back at a later time with the attached interest. Equity funding entails giving an investor a certain percentage of the company's returns thus making him a co-owner of the company. This affords him the right to make decisions for the business. Detaching the investor from this business is difficult because it requires buying him out.
I would prefer debt financing because I wish to retain sole ownership of the business. I can also go through some government agencies to obtain funds at lower interest rates. Moreso, there is a fixed debt repayment plan that I can set a target to meet until the debt is paid. Finally, I can regain my freedom after the payment is completed, thus regaining my business and not entitling me to anyone.

The Sisyphean Company's common stock is currently trading for $ 28 per share. The stock is expected to pay a $ 2.9 dividend at the end of the year and the Sisyphean Company's equity cost of capital is 12%. If the dividend payout rate is expected to remain constant, then the expected growth rate in the Sisyphean Company's earnings is closest to:
Answer:
1.24%
Explanation:
The Sisyphean company's common stock is currently being traded at $28 per share
The dividend is $2.9
The company's equity cost of capital is 12%
= 12/100
= 0.12
Therefore, the expected growth rate is calculated as follows
Growth rate= Equity cost of capital-(Dividend/Current price)
= 0.12-(2.9/28)
= 0.12-0.103571
= 0.01243×100
= 1.24%
Hence the expected growth rate is Sisyphean company's earning is closest to 1.24%
International trade promotes economic growth when it allows any two countries to grow (in their combined production) beyond (above) their pre-trade production possibilities curve (PPC).
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
The Production Possibilities Curve (PPC) is meant to illustrate how a country produces goods and services given the limited resources it has. The curve represents the various amounts that have to be traded off of 2 goods to produce more or less of one good.
The Curve shows that it is best that a country produces those goods that is good at producing so that it can produce more of it and then trade with the rest of the world for the goods it isn't too efficient at producing. If both countries involved in the trade are able to grow beyond (above) their pre-trade production possibilities curve then the trade would have promoted economic growth.
Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 5%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that had cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $105 to purchase these supplies.
For years, Worley believed that the 5% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown below:
Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 500,000 5,000 deliveries
Manual order processing (Number of manual orders) 248,000 4,000 orders
Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders) 200,000 12,500 orders
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 450,000 450,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 602,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,000,000
Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (both hospitals purchased a total quantity of medical supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 to buy from its manufacturers):
Activity
Activity Measure University Memorial
Number of deliveries 10 25
Number of manual orders 0 30
Number of electronic orders 15 0
Number of line items picked 120 250
Required:
Compute the total revenue that Worley would receive from University and Memorial.
Answer is complete and correct
Total Revenue
University $ 31,500
Memorial $ 31,500
Answer:
Worley CompanyComputation of Total Revenue from University and Memorial:
Total Cost = $38,541.00
Mark-up (5%) $1,927.05
Total Revenue $40,468.05
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 500,000 5,000 deliveries
Manual order (Number of manual orders) 248,000 4,000 orders

Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 450,000 450,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 602,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,000,000
Data on University and Memorial Hospitals:
Activity Measure University Memorial
Number of deliveries 10 25
Number of manual orders 0 30
Number of electronic orders 15 0
Number of line items picked 120 250
Activity Rates:
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 500,000/5,000 = $100
Manual order (Number of manual orders) 248,000/4,000 = $62
processing
Electronic order (Number of electronic orders) 200,000/12,500 = $16
processing
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 450,000/450,000 = $1
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 602,000
Cost of Selling and Administrative Expenses to the two hospitals:
Activity Measure University Memorial Total Total Cost
Number of deliveries 10 25 35 $3,500
Number of manual orders 0 30 30 $1,860
Number of electronic orders 15 0 15 $240
Number of line items picked 120 250 370 $370
Total Selling and Administrative Expenses $5,970
Cost of medical supplies = $30,000
Selling and administrative expenses = $5,970
Fixed costs = $2,571
($5,970/$1,398,000 x $602,000)
Total Cost = $38,541
Mark-up (5%) $1,927.05
Selling price $40,468.05
b) The case stated that both University and Memorial had purchased a total quantity of medical supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 to buy from its manufacturers. This implies that each hospital did not buy supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 for each. Based on this assumed fact from the case, the total revenue that Worley would collect from the two hospitals after keying in the selling and distribution and head office fixed costs, to get a total cost of $38,541.00 and adding the 5% markup, the revenue that Worley would receive would be $40,468.05 ($38,541 x 1.05).

Paulo owns a few shares of stock in a large and diversified firm. He realizes that the CEO of the company is responsible for a multi-billion dollar business, but is upset with what he feels is excessive compensation for the chief executive officer, particularly since the firm has reported losses for the past two years. Paulo's concerns are:
Answer: likely to be well-founded since CEO compensation at many U.S. companies has actually increased even when the company performed poorly
Explanation:
The options to the question are:
A. unfounded, since laws in the United States prevent firms from paying large salaries or bonuses to executives when a firm reports a loss.
B. based on an erroneous conclusion, because CEO pay is always based on a formula tied to the company's profits and losses.
C.likely to be well-founded since CEO compensation at many U.S. companies has actually increased even when the company performed poorly.
D. not entirely unfounded, but he needs to realize that the pay received by most chief executives must be reinvested in the company if it's unprofitable for three years in a row.
From the question, we are informed that Paulo owns a few shares of stock in a large and diversified firm na that he noticed that the CEO of the company is responsible for a multi-billion dollar business, but is upset with what he feels is excessive compensation for the CEO particularly since the firm has reported losses for the past two years.
Paulo's concerns are likely to be well-founded since CEO compensation at many U.S. companies has actually increased even when the company performed poorly.
If the actual budget deficit is $180 billion, the economy is operating $400 billion above its potential, and the marginal tax rate is 13 percent, what are the structural deficit or surplus and the cyclical deficit or surplus
Answer:
Structural Deficit $232 billion
Cyclical Deficit $52 billion
Explanation:
Calculation for the Structual deficit and the cyclical deficit
STRUCTURAL DEFICIT
Using this formula
Structural Deficit =Actual budget +(Economy Operating amount×Marginal tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
Structural Deficit =$180 billion +($400 billion ×0.13)
Structural Deficit =$180 billion +$52 billion
Structural Deficit =$232 billion
CYCLICAL DEFICT
Using this formula
Cyclical Deficit = Economy Operating amount *Marginal tax rate
Let plug in the formula
Cyclical Deficit=$400 billion ×0.13
Cyclical Deficit=$52 billion
Therefore Structural Deficit is $232 billion while Cyclical Deficit is $52 billion.

Richman Company purchased $900,000 of 8%, 5-year bonds from Carlin, Inc. on January 1, 2022, with interest payable on July 1 and January 1. The bonds sold for $937,422 at an effective interest rate of 7%. Using the effective interest method, Richman Company decreased the Available-for-Sale Debt Securities account for the Carlin, Inc. bonds on July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 by the amortized premiums of $3,186 and $3,294, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Carlin, Inc. bonds was $954,000. What should Richman Company report as other comprehensive income in the 2022 Comprehensive Income Statement
Answer:
$23,058
Explanation:
For calculation of Other comprehensive income first we will find out the total amortized premiums which is shown below:-
Total amortized premiums = 3,186 + 3,294
= $6,480
Other comprehensive income = Fair value on December 31, 2022 - (Selling price of bonds - Total amortized premiums)
= $954,000 - ($937,422 - $6,480)
= $954,000 - $930,942
= $23,058

To get the amount of overhead applied on each product we multiply their use of the cost drive by the overhead rate.
Consider Figure 9.2 on page 205 of our textbook. Suppose P0 is $10 and P1 is $11. Suppose a new firm with the same LRAC curve as the incumbent tries to break into the market by selling 4,000 units of output. Estimate from the graph what the new firm's average cost of producing output would be. If the incumbent continues to produce 6,000 units, how much output would be supplied to the market by the two firms? Estimate what would happen to the market price as a result of the supply of both the incumbent firm and the new entrant. Approximately how much profit would each firm earn ?
Answer:
The 10,000 units of output that will be supplied by the two firms to the market.
Profit that each firm would earn will be higher than previous.
Explanation:
The firm selling 4,000 units at the price of $10 per unit. If the output is increased to 6,000 units the price will increase to $11 per unit. If the new 6,000 units are produced along with the previous 4,000 units then the total output supplied by the two firms will be 10,000 units (6,000 + 4,000). The supply of goods in the market will increase so price will fall and the revenue for the firms will decline but they can benefit with sales volume and their profit can increase.
The 10,000 units of output will be supplied by the two firms to the market.
The profit that each firm would earn will be higher than the previous.
Calculation of the number of units and profits:Here the firm sells 4,000 units at the price of $10 per unit. And, in the case when the output is increased to 6,000 units the price will increase to $11 per unit.
And, In the case when the new 6,000 units are produced along with the previous 4,000 units so the total output supplied by the two firms will be 10,000 units.
The supply of goods in the market should increase due to which the price will fall and the revenue for the firms will decline however they can benefit with sales volume and their profit can increase.

You purchase a bond with an invoice price of $1,410. The bond has a coupon rate of 6.8 percent, and there are 3 months to the next semiannual coupon date. What is the clean price of the bond? Assume a par value of $1,000.
Answer:
clean price = $1,393
Explanation:
The clean price of the bond does not include any accrued interests. The invoice price = clean price + accrued interests
invoice price = $1,410accrued interests = $1,000 x 0.068 x 3/12 = $17clean price = invoice price - accrued interests = $1,410 - $17 = $1,393
Cerrone Inc. has provided the following data for the month of July. The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning of the month was $79,000 and at the end of the month was $72,000. The cost of goods manufactured for the month was $361,600. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $118,400 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied to jobs was $112,000. The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for July is:
Answer:
$375,000
Explanation:
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = Opening stock of finished goods + Cost of goods sold - Closing stock of finished goods
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = $79,000 + $361,600 - $72,000
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = $368,600
The overhead applied is $112,000 and the actual manufacturing overhead is $118,400. As the actual manufacturing overhead is more than the overhead applied, the overhead is under applied as shown below
Under-applied Overhead = Actual manufacturing overhead - Overhead applied
= $118,400 - $112,000
= $6,400
Now, calculation of the adjusted cost of goods sold is as follow
Adjusted cost of goods sold = Unadjusted cost of goods sold + Under-applied Overhead
= $368,600 + $6,400
= $375,000
Thus, the adjusted cost of goods sold is $375,000

Assume that Number of Us Out Diminishing marginal returns become evident with the addition of the:________,
A) sixth worker.
B) fourth worker.
C) third worker.
D) second worker
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Dinmishing marginal returns occurs when as more units of labour is added, marginal output declines.
marginal output is change in total output as more units of labour are employed.
Marginal output = total output 2 - total output 1
total output = number of workers x units of output

The value of the warrants must be recorded separately under the paid-in capital stock warrants account, and any excess amount will be allocated proportionally between that account and the as a premium on bonds payable account.
Jamison Company purchased the assets of Booker Company at an auction for $4,200,000. An independent appraisal of the fair value of the assets is listed below:
Land $1,425,000
Building 2,100,000
Equipment 1,575,000
Trucks 2,550,000
Assuming that specific identification costs are impracticable and that Jamison allocates the purchase price on the basis of the relative fair values, what amount would be allocated to the Trucks?
A. $1,400,000
B. $2,100,000
C. $2,520,000
D. $2,550,000
Answer:
A. $1,400,000
Explanation:
Amount to be allocated = Auction price / Total individual price * Truck price
Auction price = $4,200,000
Total individual price = $1,425,000 + $2,100,000 + 1,575,000 + $2,550,000 = $7,650,000
Truck price = $2,550,000
Amount to be allocated = ($4,200,000 / $7,650,000) * $2,550,000
Amount to be allocated = $1,400,000

__________________ are ways that a nation can draw up regulations, inspections, and paperwork to make it more costly or difficult to import products.
Answer: Nontariff barriers
Explanation:
Nontariff barriers are trade barriers that are used whereby the import and export of goods and services are restricted. It should be noted that the restriction is not by tariffs but can include include embargoeds, quotas, sanctions, and levies.
The main reason for trade barriers are to generate revenue for the government and also to protect the local industries.
A company manufactures and sells two products: Product A1 and Product C4. Data concerning the expected production of each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appear below:
Expected Production Direct Labor-Hours Per Unit Total Direct Labor-Hours
Product A1 500 2.0 1,000
Product C4 200 1.0 200
Total direct labor-hours 1,200
The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH. The direct materials cost per unit is $281 for Product A1 and $267 for Product C4. The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity:
Estimated Expected
Activity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product C1 Product M2 Total
Labor-related DLHs $558,452 7,200 7,700 14,900
Production orders Orders 75,240 500 600 1,100
General factory MHs 886,410 4,400 4,600 9,000
$1,520,102
The total cost per unit of Product C4 under activity-based costing is closest to: ____________
Answer:
Unitary cost= $4,207.85
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Product C4:
Production= 200 units
Direct labor hours per unit= 1
Total DLH= 200
The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH.
The direct materials cost per unit is $267
Activity Cost Pools - Overhead Cost - Product C4 - Total
Labor-related DLHs $558,452 - 7,700 - 14,900
Production orders Orders $75,240 - 600 - 1,100
General factory MHs $886,410 - 4,600 - 9,000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 558,452/14,900= $37.48 per DLH
Production orders= 75,240/1,100= $68.4 per order
General factory= 886,410/9,000= $98.49 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to C4 as a whole:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 37.48*7,700= $288,596
Production orders= 68.4*600= $41,040
General factory= 98.49*4,600= $453,054
Total= $782,690
Finally, the total cost and cost per unit:
Total cost= 200*267 + 200*27.4 + 782,690
Total cost= $841,570
Unitary cost= 841,570/200= $4,207.85

The better-off test for evaluating whether a particular diversification move is likely to generate added value for shareholders involves determining whether the proposed diversification move Group of answer choices provides the company with additional resource strengths. provides additional ways to build the entrepreneurial skills of the company's senior managers. spreads stockholders' risks across a greater number of lines of business. has competitively valuable value chain match-ups with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart. has good potential for increasing the company's rate of return on invested capital.
Answer: Has competitively valuable value chain match-ups with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart.
Explanation:
The better-off test of diversification is that the company must gain a return that is higher than incremental growth. Incremental growth is usually defined a 1 + 1 = 2 formula and this test argues that Diversification must provide more than this such that the company achieves synergistic growth ( 1 + 1 = 3) which is what happens when different entities work better together than alone.
Diversification should therefore be into an area that will be able to match-up with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart and produce even greater returns.
