Spending Volume
Answer:
Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = $5,000 Unfavorable(U).
Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = $20,000 Favorable (F).
Explanation:
Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = Actual Fixed Overheads - Budgeted Fixed Overheads
= $305,000 - $300,000
= $5,000 Unfavorable(U).
Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = Fixed Overheads at Actual Production - Budgeted Fixed Overheads
= ($5.00 × 64,000) - $300,000
= $320,000 - $300,000
= $20,000 Favorable (F)

"Mussatto Corporation produces snowboards. The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $10, direct labor $4, variable manufacturing overhead $3, fixed manufacturing overhead $10, variable selling and administrative expenses $1, and fixed selling and administrative expenses $8. Using a 25% markup percentage on total per unit cost, compute the target selling price. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)"
Answer:
The target selling price =$45
Explanation:
The target selling price is the sum of the total unit cost plus 25% of the the unit cost
The target selling price = Total per unit cost + (25% × total unit cost)
The total unit cost is the sum of all the costs involved making the product available to the consumer.
The sum of direct material cost , labour cost variable manufacturing, fixed manufacturing overhead, variable selling and administrative expenses and fixed selling and administrative expenses.
Total unit cost = 10 + 4 + 3 + 10 + 1 + 8 = 36
The target selling price = 36 + (25% × 36) = $45
The target selling price =$45
Johnson Trucking Company wants to determine a fuel surcharge to add to its customers' bills based on the number of miles driven to each area It wants to separate the fixed and variable portion of the truck's operating costs so it has a better idea of how distance affects these costs.

The variable cost per mile using the high-low method is:___________.
A. $1.16
B. $138
C. $1 66
D. $1.43
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $1.16 per mile
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
January 16,200 $22,650
February 17000 $23,250
March 18400 $25,450
Apri 16500 $22,875
May 17400 $23,550
June 15300 $21,850
To calculate the variable cost per mile under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (25,450 - 21,850) / (18,400 - 15,300)
Variable cost per unit= $1.16 per mile

1. What amount of net income is available to common stockholders for 2017?
2. What is the company's basic EPS for 2017?
Answer:
(A) $1,655,500
(B) $5.52 per share
Explanation:
Ecker company announced a net income of $1,925,000
They also declare a cash dividend of $269,500
The company has 300,000 weighted average shares of common stock
(A) The amount of net income available to common stockhloders for 2017 can be calculated as follows
Net income available to common stockhloders= Net income- Preferred Cash dividend
= $1,925,000-$269,500
= $1,655,500
(B) The common basic EPS for 2017 can be calculated as follows
Common basic EPS= Net income available to stockholders/weighted average outstanding shares
= $1,655,500/300,000
= $5.52 per share
SilverFinn makes high-end jewelry for women. This jewelry is manufactured and patented in Italy. Manufacturers in Argentina create counterfeit SilverFinn jewelry and sell it in local markets at nearly similar prices to the original SilverFinn jewelry sold in other countries. This lack of intellectual property protection is like to result in
Answer: a. reduction in export opportunities from Argentina to other countries.
Explanation:
SilverFinn jewellery probably has intellectual property protection in other countries so when Argentinian producers make those counterfeits, they will be unable to sell it outside Argentina where it would not be allowed to be sold. This will reduce the export opportunities from Argentina to other countries.
It may also reduce the export opportunities of other goods from Argentina because other countries might be slow to trust that what Argentina is sending are indeed genuine goods because they have been known to counterfeit SilverFinn jewelry.
Suppose that you take $50 in currency out of your pocket and deposit it in your checking account. If the required reserve ratio is 8%, what is the largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of your action?
Answer:
The largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of the action is $625.
Explanation:
This is an example of money multiplier.
Money multiplier refers to the maximum amount of money that commercial bank can create or generate with each dollar of reserves.
Reserves or required reserves refer to the amount of money or portion of deposit that the central bank such as the Federal Reserve requires banks to hold and not lend.
In order to determine the largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of $50 deposit, money multiplier is used to multiply the $50 deposit.
The formula for the money multiplier is given as follows:
Money multiplier = 1/r
Where;
r = required reserve ratio = 8%, or 0.08.
Therefore, we have:
Money multiplier = 1 / 0.08 = 12.50
Largest amount of increase = Amount of deposit * Money multiplier = $50 * 12.50 = $625.
Therefore, the largest amount (in dollars) by which the money supply can increase as a result of the action is $625.
If the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.9, the spending multiplier is _____, the tax multiplier is ______, and the balanced budget multiplier is _______, respectively.
Answer:
If the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.9, the spending multiplier is 10, the tax multiplier is -9, and the balanced budget multiplier is 1, respectively.
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
a) Calculation of spending multiplier
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the spending multiplier as follows:
Spending multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc)
Since mpc = 0.9, we have:
Spending multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc) = 1 / (1 - 0.9) = 1 / 0.1 = 10
b) Calculation of tax multiplier
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the tax multiplier as follows:
Tax multiplier = -mpc / mps
Note that the tax multiplier as given above is negative because increase in tax by the government makes the multiplier to work in reverse since the money is leaving the circular flow.
Since what is not consumed is saved, we have:
mps = 1 - mpc = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1
Therefore,
Tax multiplier = -0.9 / 0.1 = -9
c) Calculation of balanced budget multiplier
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the balanced budget multiplier as follows:
Balanced budget multiplier = Spending multiplier + Tax multiplier = 10 + (-9) = 10 - 9 = 1
Note that balanced budget multiplier is always equal to 1 as obtained above.
Conclusion
Therefore, if the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.9, the spending multiplier is 10, the tax multiplier is -9, and the balanced budget multiplier is 1, respectively.
A dry cleaner uses exponential smoothing to forecast equipment usage. The August forecast was 88% and the actual was 89.6%. Use a smoothing constant of 0.1.
A. Prepare a forecast for September.
B. Assuming actual September usuage of 92 %, prepare a forecast for October usage
Answer:
1. 88.16%
2. 88.54%
Explanation:
a. Prepare a forecast for September
Smoothing constant (a) is 0.1
Forecast for August (Ft) is 88%
Actual usage for August (At) is 89.6%
Forecast for September(Ft +1) will therefore be;
Using the formulae
= Ft+a (At-Ft)
= 88% + 0.1(89.6% - 88%)
= 88% + 0.16%
= 88.16%
b. Assuming actual September usage of 92% , prepare a forecast for October usage.
Since we have the following,
Smoothing constant(a) 0.1
Then forecast for September(Ft) is 88.16%
Also, actual usage for September (At) is 92%
Therefore, forecast for October (Ft + 1) will be,
Using the formula
= Ft+a(At - Ft)
= 88.16% + 0.1(92% - 88.16%)
= 88.16% + 0.384%
= 88.54%
Suppose a stock has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 6%. What is the likelihood that this stock returns between 12% and 18%
Answer: 34.13%.
Explanation:
Given : Expected return : [tex]\mu=12\%=0.12[/tex]
Standard deviation: [tex]\sigma=6\%=0.06[/tex]
Let x be the stock returns.
Then, the probability that stock returns between 12% and 18%:
[tex]P(0.12<x<0.18)=P(\dfrac{0.12-0.12}{0.06}<\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\dfrac{0.18-0.12}{0.06})\\\\=P(0<Z<1)\ \ \ [\because z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=P(Z<1)-P(Z<0)\\\\=0.8413-0.5\ \ \ \text{[By z-table]}\\\\=0.3413[/tex]
Hence, the likelihood that this stock returns between 12% and 18% is 34.13%.
A monopolist has four distinct groups of customers. Group A has an elasticity of demand of 0.2, B has an elasticity of demand of 0.8, C has an elasticity of demand of 1.0, and D has an elasticity of demand of 2.0. The group paying the highest price for the product will be
Answer: Group A
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of demand refers to the sensitivity of quantity demanded given a change in price. In other words, how much will quantity demanded change if price changes. Higher elastcities mean that when prices change, their quantity demanded changes more. For instance, an elasticity of demand of 2 means that when prices rise by 2%, demand will decrease by 4%.
The group that will be paying the most therefore will have to be the group that is least sensitive to paying that high price. That would be Group A. As they are not very sensitive to price changes with an elasticity of 0.2, the Monopoly can increase their price to a higher point than others knowing that they won't demand less goods.
The city of Oak Ridge is considering the construction of a four kilometer (km) greenway walking trail. It will cost $1 comma 000 per km to build the trail and $340 per km per year to maintain it over its 22-year life. If the city's MARR is 11% per year, what is the equivalent uniform annual cost of this project? Assume the trail has no residual value at the end of 22 years.
Answer:
equivalent uniform annual cost = $1,849.25
Explanation:
Initial cost $4,000
then 22 cash outflows of $1,360
discount rate 11%
using a financial calculator, we determine the NPV = -$15,119.01
EAC = (NPV x r) / [1 - (1 + r)⁻ⁿ]
EAC = (-$15,119.01 x 11%) / [1 - (1 + 11%)⁻²²] = -$1,663.09 / 0.89933 = -$1,849.25
Activity-Based Costing: Factory Overhead Costs
The total factory overhead for Bardot Marine Company is budgeted for the year at $1,039,600, divided into four activity pools: fabrication,, $448,000; assembly, $180,000; setup, $222,600; and inspection, $189,000. Bardot Marine manufactures two types of boats: speedboats and bass boats. The activity-base usage quantities for each product by each activity are as follows:
Fabrication Assembly Setup Inspection
Speedboat 7,000 dlh 22,500 dlh 50 setups 88 inspections
Bass boat 21,000 7,500 370 612
28,000 dlh 30,000 dlh 420 setups 700 inspections
Each product is budgeted for 5,000 units of production for the year.
a. Determine the activity rates for each activity.
Fabrication $ per direct labor hour
Assembly $ per direct labor hour
Setup $ per setup
Inspection $ per inspection
b. Determine the activity-based factory overhead per unit for each product. Round to the nearest whole dollar.
Speedboat $ per unit
Bass boat $ per unit
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated factory overhead:
fabrication, $448,000
assembly, $180,000
setup, $222,600
inspection, $189,000
Fabrication Assembly Setup Inspection
Speedboat 7,000 dlh 22,500 dlh 50 setups 88 inspections
Bass boat 21,000 7,500 370 612
28,000 dlh 30,000 dlh 420 setups 700 inspections
Each product is budgeted for 5,000 units of production for the year.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity using the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
fabrication= 448,000/28,000= $16 per direct labor hour
assembly= 180,000/30,000= $6 per direct labor hour
setup= 222,600/420= $530 per setup
inspection= 189,000/700= $270 per inspection
Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Speed boat:
Allocated MOH= 7,000*16 + 22,500*6 + 50*530 + 88*270= $297,260
Bass boat:
Allocated MOH= 21,000*16 + 7,500*6 + 370*530 + 612*270= $742,340
Finally, the unitary overhead cost:
Speed boat= 297,260/5,000= $59.45
Bass boat= 742,340/5,000= $148.47
Alpaca Corporation had revenues of $260,000 in its first year of operations. The company has not collected on $19,300 of its sales and still owes $26,300 on $90,000 of merchandise it purchased. The company had no inventory on hand at the end of the year. The company paid $13,000 in salaries. Owners invested $10,000 in the business and $10,000 was borrowed on a five-year note. The company paid $4,900 in interest that was the amount owed for the year, and paid $6,000 for a two-year insurance policy on the first day of business. Alpaca has an effective income tax rate of 40%. Compute net income for the first year for Alpaca Corporation.
Answer:
$89,460
Explanation:
The computation of the net income is shown below:
Sales $260,000
Less: Cost of goods sold -$90,000
Gross margin $170,000
Less:
Salaries -$13,000
Insurance payment -$3,000 ($6,000 ÷ 2 years)
Interest -$4,900
profit before tax $149,100
Less: tax expense -$59,640
Net income $89,460
We simply deducted all expenses from the revenues so that the net income could arrive and the same is to be considered
A proposed project has fixed costs of $47,000 per year. The operating cash flow at 11,000 units is $69,000. a. Ignoring the effect of taxes, what is the degree of operating leverage
Answer: 1.68
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a proposed project has fixed costs of $47,000 per year and that the operating cash flow at 11,000 units is $69,000.
Ignoring the effect of taxes, the degree of operating leverage will be:
= 1 + ($47,000/$69,000)
= 1 + 0.68
= 1.68

(To record repair of van)
April 29,
DR Delivery Van $52
CR Cash $52
(To record installation of GPS system in Van)
Explanation:
The transmission being faulty in the Van is part of the depreciation of the van and so when it is fixed, it reduces the depreciation of the van. The amount needs to be debited to the Accumulated Depreciation Account to signal that it is a reduction.
Installing a new GPS in a Van is an additional benefit to the van that will last for a period of more than a year hence it should be capitalised and added to the cost of the Delivery Van.
Suppose you run a lawn mowing business. You charge $15 per lawn, you can mow five lawns in an eight hour day, and you work five days a week. You currently have more people asking you to mow their lawns than you can satisfy so you are considering hiring someone to help. Your other option is to rent a riding lawn mower that will enable you to mow seven lawns each day. Your friend Jim, a good worker, will work for $8 per hour and will be able to mow five lawns in an eight hour day also. If you rent a riding mower, it will cost you $100 per week plus $25 for gas and oil.
Required:
What is your best option? Explain why you believe this is your best choice.
Answer:
Option 2
Explanation:
Option 1 If we hire someone to help
Revenue = $15/lawn x 5 lawns per day
Revenue = $75 x 7 days = $525
Total cost = Rate per hour x No. of lawns per day x No, of hours worked
Total cost = $8 x 5 x $8
Total cost = $320 x 7days = 2,240
Profit/Loss = $525- $2,240
Profit/loss = $1,715 loss
Option 2 If we rent a riding mower
Revenue = 7 lawns per day x $15/lawn x 7 days
Revenue = $735
Cost = $100 + $25 for gas and oi
Cost = $125
Profit/loss = $610
The best option would be Option 2 because Firstly it is very much low in cost and provides us a great revenue secondly, it also increases our work efficiency.
Galaxy Corp. is considering opening a new division to make iToys that it expects to sell at a price of $15,250 each in the first year of the project. The company expects the cost of producing each iToy to be $6,700 in the first year; however, it expects the selling price and cost per iToy to increase by 3.00% each year.
Based on the preceding information and rounding dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollars, the company expects the selling price in the fourth year of the project to be_______ , and it expects the cost per unit in the fourth year of the project to be _______.
Answer:
Selling price= $17,164
Unitary variable cost= $7,541
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price in the first year= $15,250
Unitary variable cost on the first year= $6,700
Increase rate= 3%
To calculate the selling price and variable cost per unit in the fourth year, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
PV= current value
i= increase rate
n= number of years
Selling price= 15,250*(1.03^4)= $17,164
Unitary variable cost= 6,700*(1.03^4)= $7,541
From 1991 to 2000, the U.S. economy had an annual inflation rate of around 2.76%. The historical annual nominal risk-free rate for this same period was around 5.71%. Using the approximate nominal interest rate equation and the true nominal interest rate equation, compute the real interest rate for that decade. What is the estimated real interest rate using the approximate nominal interest rate equation for that decade?
Answer:
2.95% and 2.87%
Explanation:
The computation of the approximate real rate and the estimated real interest rate is shown below:
The Approximate real rate is
= Historic annual nominal risk free rate - Annual inflation rate
= 5.71% - 2.76%
= 2.95%
And, the estimated real interest rate is
= (1 + historical annual nominal risk free rate) ÷ (1 + annual inflation rate) - 1
= (1 + 0.0571) ÷ (1 + 0.0276) - 1
= 2.87%
We simply applied the above formulas so that each one could be determined
Talk to a 55-year-old (or older) business professional nearing retirement. This person can be a family member, friend, or mentor. List and describe the savings, investments, and risk management strategies for this phase of life. Describe how financial planning has changed from the earlier phase of life.
Answer:
The financial planning will differ for the person according to their age. A person who is 50 years older would have money only from his savings. The 55 year old person is retired and would only have money available for living from the saving he had made while he was working. He will not have any other source of income.
Explanation:
The risk management officer should consider the investments by considering his available savings. He should also consider the money required for living as there is no other source of income. The risk appetite for such an old aged individual will be low. He must be risk averse in the situation of retirement. The financial planning strategies changes for the person over the different phases of life. When a person is young and starts the job at age of 25 he might take excessive risks for getting extra returns. He is young and energetic, has ability to work part time along with his routine job to earn extra money.
rojects A and B are mutually exclusive and have an initial cost of $78,000 each. Project A provides cash inflows of $32,000 a year for three years while Project B produces a cash inflow of $44,400 a year for two years. Which project(s) should be accepted if the discount rate is 10 percent
Answer:
Project A should be accepted.
Explanation:
The initial investment of project A = $78000
The initial investment of project B = $78000
The cash inflows of project A = $32000
The time period for project A = 3 years
The cash inflow of project B = $44400
The time period for project B = 2 years.
Interest rate (r ) = 10%
Now find the net present value of both project and then decide which one has to accept.
The net present value of project A:
[tex]=\frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n})}{r} - \text{initial investment} \\= \frac{32000(1-(1+0.1)^{-3})}{0.1} - 78000 \\= 79579.26 – 78000 \\= $1579.26[/tex]
The net present value of project B:
[tex]=\frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n})}{r} - \text{initial investment} \\= \frac{44400(1-(1+0.1)^{-2})}{0.1} - 78000 \\= - 942.14[/tex]
Project A should be accepted because project B has a negative net present value.

For a stock to be in equilibrium, that is, for there to be no long-term pressure for its price to depart from its current level, then a.the expected future return must be less than the most recent past realized return. b.the past realized return must be equal to the expected return during the same period. c.the expected future returns must be equal to the required return. d.the required return must equal the realized return in all periods. e.the expected return must be equal to both the required future return and the past realized return.
Answer:
c.the expected future returns must be equal to the required return.
Explanation:
When the stock is at equilibrium than the intrinsic value of the stock is equivalent to the market price of the stock that depicts that the expected returns which held in the future should be equivalent to the required return
Therefore the option c is correct
And, the other options that are mentioned in the question are incorrect
For a stock to be in equilibrium, the expected future returns must be equal to the required return.
The correct answer to this question is answer option c. At the equilibrium position there is a balance between the expected returns and the required returns.

To counter this, many of these western nations have crated policies that encourages childbirth by providing incentive for families with multiple children, reducing tax for such families, and even as far as up to 12 to 16 months paid paternity and maternity leave, when a couple has a new baby. Couples are also given government paychecks when they go on childbirth leave.
Japan is one of the countries that has been experiencing a population decline in recent years. The number of death seem to be more than the number of births. The general effect is the fear of a dwindling work force of the future. This will lead to more people retiring later, and there would be a huge pressure on the pension schemes, and the economy as a whole due to this. A population boom will mean that a future workforce is guaranteed, and the retirement age lowered, and the call for dependency on automation due to a shrinking workforce can be reviewed.

You are considering the purchase of a small income-producing property for $150000 that is expected to produce the following net cash flows
End of year cash flow
1 $50000
2 $50000
3 $50000
4 $50000
Answer : a) $5122.28 (b) 12.59% (c) You should make the investment
Explanation:
Internal rate of return = 11 %
initial cash flows = $150000
period = 4 years
Find the NPV (net present value )( using present value tables)
= preset value of cash flows - initial cash flows
= ∑ present cash flows for 4 years - $150000
= $155122.28 - $150000 = $5122.28
The going-in internal rate of return on investment
N (number of years ) = 4
pv ( present value ) = $150000
PMT = -$50000
Fv ( future value ) = 0
IRR = 12.59% ( making use of the cash flow list in our financial calculator )
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.
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
Cammie received 100 NQOs (each option provides a right to purchase 10 shares of MNL stock for $10 per share) at the time she started working for MNL Corporation (5/1/Y1) four years ago when MNL’s stock price was $8 per share. Now that MNL’s stock price is $40 per share (8/15/Y5), she intends to exercise all of her options. After acquiring the 1,000 MNL shares with her options, she held the shares for over one year (10/1/Y6) and sold them at $60 per share.
b. What are MNL Corporation’s tax savings on the grant date (5/1/Y1), exercise date (8/15/Y5), and sale date (10/1/Y6)?
Answer:
b. What are MNL Corporation’s tax savings on the grant date (5/1/Y1), exercise date (8/15/Y5), and sale date (10/1/Y6)?
MNL Corporation will have no tax effects on the grant date and (5/1/Y1) and the date that Cammie sold the stocks (10/1/Y6).
The only tax effect results from the exercise date (8/15/Y5). Tax savings = (total amount of stocks exercised x market price at the time) x marginal tax rate = (1,000 stocks x $40) x tax rate = $40,000 x tax rate
Since no marginal tax rate is given in the question, we can calculate it for different options:
if tax rate = 21%, then tax savings = $40,000 x 21% = $8,400if tax rate = 35%, then tax savings = $40,000 x 35% = $14,000
