Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Unit cost under absorption costing:
Unitary product cost= 137 + 75 + 4 + (846,800/14,600)
Unitary product cost= $274
Unit cost under variable costing:
Unitary variable product cost= 137 + 75 + 4
Unitary variable product cost= $216

Boehm Incorporated is expected to pay a $1.10 per share dividend at the end of this year (i.e., D1 = $1.10). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% a year. The required rate of return on the stock, rs, is 15%. What is the estimated value per share of Boehm's stock? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $
Answer:
$10
Explanation:
The dividend is $1.10
The constant rate is 4%
The required rate of return in the stock is 15%
Therefore the estimated value per share can be calculated as follows
= 1.10(0.15-0.04)
= 1.10/(0.11)
= $10
Hence the estimated valuee is $10
Suppose at December 31 of a recent year, the following information (in thousands) was available for sunglasses manufacturer Oakley Inc.: ending inventory $170,000; beginning inventory $125,000; cost of goods sold $351,050 and sales revenue $761,000.
a. Calculate the inventory turnover for Oakley, Inc.
b. Calculate the days in inventory for Oakley, Inc.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The inventory turnover is
= Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $351,050 ÷ ($170,000 + $125,000) ÷ 2
= $351,050 ÷ $147,500
= 2.38 times
b. Now days in inventory is
= 365 ÷ inventory turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 2.38 times
= 153.36 days

b-1 Sales price variance = $3,750
b-2 Sales volume variance = -$1,500
b-3 Fixed cost variance = -$20,000
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete an the data in its are merged together. The complete question with the sorted data are therefore provided as follows:
Question 1: Sales price variance, sales volume variance, and fixed cost variance
Budgeted Actual
Price $300 $350
Sales volume in units 80 75
Unit VC $100 $120
Fixed costs $100,000 $120,000
a) Without computations, characterize the following variances as favorable or unfavorable:
sales price variance F U
sales volume variance F U
fixed cost variance F U
b) Compute the following variances. Enter favorable variances as a positive number and unfavorable variances as a negative number. Do NOT enter F or U after the number.
sales price variance
sales volume variance F U
fixed cost variance
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
a) Without computations, characterize the following variances as favorable or unfavorable:
a-1 Sales price variance F U
When the Actual price is greater than the Budgeted price, Sales price variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual price is less than the Budgeted price, Sales price variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual price is greater than the Budgeted price in this question, the Sales price variance is favorable (F).
a-2 Sales volume variance F U
When the Actual sales volume in units is greater than the Budgeted sales volume in units, Sales volume variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual sales volume in units is less than the Budgeted sales volume in units, Sales volume variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual sales volume in units is less than the Budgeted sales volume in units in this question, the Sales volume variance is unfavorable (U).
a-3 Fixed cost variance F U
When the Actual Fixed costs is less than the Budgeted Fixed costs, Fixed costs variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual Fixed costs is greater than the Budgeted Fixed costs, Fixed costs variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual Fixed costs is greater than the Budgeted Fixed costs in this question, the Fixed costs variance is unfavorable (U).
b) Compute the following variances. Enter favorable variances as a positive number and unfavorable variances as a negative number. Do NOT enter F or U after the number.
b-1 Calculation of sales price variance
This can be calculated as follows:
Sales price variance = (Actual price - Budgeted price) * Actual sales volume in units = ($350 - $300) * 75 = $3,750
b-2 Calculation of sales volume variance
This can be calculated as follows:
Sales volume variance = (Actual sales volume in units - Budgeted sales volume in units) * Budgeted price = (75 - 80) * $300 = -$1,500
b-3 Calculation of fixed cost variance
Fixed cost variance = Actual fixed costs - Budgeted fixed costs = $120,00 - $100,000 = -$20,000
The demand for spring water at the SLC WalMart is 600 liters per week. The setup cost for placing an order to replenish inventory is $25. The order is delivered by the supplier which charges WalMart $0.10/liter for the cost of transportation from the Rocky Mountains to SLC. This transportation cost increases the cost of water to $1.25/liter. The water loses its freshness while stored at the SLC WalMart. To account for this, the WalMart charges an annual holding cost of $2.6/liter.
Required:
a. Determine the WalMart's Economic Order Quantity (in liters)?
b. How often should WalMart order for water (in weeks) ?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the ideal order quantity a company should purchase to minimize inventory costs such as holding costs, shortage costs, and order costs.
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]
D= Demand in units
S= Order cost
H= Holding cost
Since:
D= 600*52= 31,200
S= $25
H= $2.6
Replacing:
EOQ= 2√[(2*31,200*25) / 2.6]
EOQ= 775 units
To calculate the time between orders, we need to use the following formula:
Time between orders= EOQ / Weekly demand
Timer between orders= 775 / 600
Time between orders= 1.3 weeks

Carbonale Castings produces cast bronze valves on a 10-person assembly line. On a recent day, 160 valves were produced during an 8-hour shift. The productivity of the line is valves per hour. John Goodale, the manager of Carbondale, changed the layout and was able to increase production to 180 valves per 8-hour shift. The new productivity is valves per hour. The % productivity increase is %. Round all answers to 2 decimal places.
Answer:
Missing word " Calculate the labor productivity of the line. b) John Goodale, the manager at Carbondale, changed the layout and was able to increase production to 180 units per 8-hour shift. What is the new labor productivity per labor-hour? c.) What is the percentage of productivity increase?"
a) Output = 160 valves
Input = 10*8 = 80 labor hours
Productivity = Output / Input
Productivity = 160/80
Productivity = 2 valves per labor hour
b) Output = 180 valves
Input = 10*8 = 80 labor hour
Productivity = Output/Input
Productivity = 180/80
Productivity = 2.25 valves per labor hour
c) Percentage increase in the productivity = [(2.25 - 2) / 2] * 100
Percentage increase in the productivity = 0.125 * 100
Percentage increase in the productivity = 12.5%
Sales revenue is forecasted to grow by 13% next year, forecasted net income is expected to be $30,000, and all current assets and current liabilities vary proportionally with sales. If $45,000 worth of net noncurrent assets are required to be purchased next year, what is the external financing needed
Answer:
17,320.5
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the external financing needed
Using this formula
External Financing Needed = Increase in current assets+Increase in non current assets-Increase in spontaneous liabilities -Retained earnings
External Financing Needed = (42,500*13%)+45,000-(24,650*13%)-30000
External Financing Needed = 5,525+45,000-3,204.5-30,000
External Financing Needed =17,320.5
Therefore the external financing needed will be
17,320.5

Money provides a measuring stick with which to express relative values of goods and services, simplifying comparisons.
Money eliminates the need to find trading partners who happen to possess what you want and want what you possess.
Money enables you to specialize in tasks you're good at, knowing you can earn the money needed to buy the products of other individuals, skilled in different tasks
Explanation:
Functions of money
1. Medium of exchange : money can be used to exchange for goods and services. For example, money serves as a medium of exchange when you pay $20 for your favourite jeans.
Without money, you would have to find someone that has jeans and wants to sell it and also wants what you have. This is known as double coincidence of wants
2. Unit of account : money can be used to value goods and services, For example, $20 is the value of your favourite jeans
3. Store of value : money can retain its value over the long term, this it can be used as a store of value

Lucky Company's direct labor information for the month of February is as follows: Actual direct labor hours worked (AQ) 60,000 Standard direct labor hours allowed (SQ) 62,500 Total payroll for direct labor $ 900,000 Direct labor efficiency variance $ 35,000 The standard direct labor rate per hour (SP) for February (rounded to two decimal places) was:
Answer:
$14.4 per hour
Explanation:
Given the above information, the standard direct labor rate per hour
is computed as
Standard direct labor rate per hour
= Total standard direct labor cost / Total standard direct labor hours worked
= (SP × SQ) / SQ
= $900,000 / 62,500
= $14.4 per hour
Therefore, the standard direct labor rate per hour is $14.4
Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 12% and a standard deviation of 39%. The T-bill rate is 6%A client prefers to invest in your portfolio a proportion (y) that maximizes the expected return on the overall portfolio subject to the constraint that the overall portfolio's standard deviation will not exceed 30%. a. What is the investment proportion, y
Answer:
y = 0.76923076923 or 76.923076923% rounded off to 76.92%
So, 76.92% of the portfolio should be invested in risky portfolio.
Explanation:
The portfolio standard deviation for a portfolio consisting of two securities with one of them being the risk free security is calculated by multiplying the standard deviation of the risky security by the weightage of investment in the risky security as a proportion of the overall investment in portfolio. The formula can be written as follows,
Portfolio STDEV = Weight of Risky Asset * STDEV of risky asset
30% = y * 39%
30% / 39% = y
y = 0.76923076923 or 76.923076923% rounded off to 76.92%

The City of San Antonio is considering various options for providing water in its 50-year plan, including desalting. One brackish aquifer is expected to yield desalted water that will generate revenue of $4.1 million per year for the first 5 years, after which less production will decrease revenue by 10% per year each year. If the aquifer will be totally depleted in 21 years, what is the present worth of the desalting option revenue at an interest rate of 8% per year
Answer:
The present worth of the desalting option revenue is 29,567,434.81 or $29.6 million.
Explanation:
Note: Calculation of the present worth of the desalting option revenue.
In the attached excel file, the revenue from year 6 to 21 is calculated using the following formula:
Revenue in the current year = Revenue in the previous year * (100% - Decreasing rate) ................... (1)
Where;
Decreasing rate = 10%
From the attached excel file, the present worth (in bold red color) of the desalting option revenue is 29,567,434.81 or $29.6 million.
In 2019 a 90% owned subsidiary had $60,000 of unrealized gains on intercompany sales to its parent. In 2020 the subsidiary sold $200,000 of goods to its parent and had $30,000 of unrealized gains. In 2020 parent reports Cost of Goods Sold of $4,000,000 and sub reports Cost of Goods Sold of $1,000,000. How much is Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold
Answer:
Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold is $4,970,000.
Explanation:
A 90% owned subsidiary presents a controlling interest and consolidated financial statements must be prepared by the Parent company.
In preparing consolidated financial statements, any transactions between the parent and subsidiary (Intragroup transactions) must be eliminated.
At Beginning of the year
Recognize the unrealized gains on intercompany sales as follows ;
Debit : Retained Earnings $60,000
Credit : Cost of Sales $60,000
During the year 2020
Eliminate unrealized gains on intercompany sales as follows
Debit : Cost of Sales $30,000
Credit : Inventory $30,000
Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold
To determine the Cost of Goods Sold add 100 % of Parent and 100% of Subsidiary and also remember to effect the journals above as follows :
Cost of Goods Sold = $4,000,000 + $1,000,000 - $60,000 + $30,000
= $4,970,000
Conclusion
Therefore, Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold is $4,970,000.

5. In year 1, Peter and Shaline Johnsen moved into a home in a new subdivision. Theirs was one of the first homes in the subdivision. In year 1, they paid $2,700 in real property taxes to the state government, $1,490 to the developer of the subdivision for an assessment to pay for the sidewalks, and $1,430 for real property taxes on land they hold as an investment. What amount of property taxes are the Johnsens allowed to deduct assuming their itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction amount before considering any property tax deductions?
Deductible tax amount?
Answer:
1. a. Days of Personal Use:
= Days stayed personally + Days rented at a discount + Days rented to family
= 19 + 14 + 11 + 12
= 56 days
b. Days of rental use:
= Days rented to third parties at full rate + Days taken for repairs and maintenance
= 72 + 2
= 74 days
2. Deductible tax amount:
= Real property taxes to state government + Property taxes on land held as investment
= 2,700 + 1,430
= $4,130
The Johnsens may not deduct the amount paid for the assessment for the sidewalks as they are considered local benefits much like streets and these are not tax deductible.

Suppose you win on a scratch‑off lottery ticket and you decide to put all of your $2,500 winnings in the bank. The reserve requirement is 5% . What is the maximum possible increase in the money supply as a result of your bank deposit?
Answer: $50,000
Explanation:
Reserve Requirement = 5% = 0.05
Change in reserves = $2500
The change in deposits is denoted as
= (1/rr) × change in reserves
where,
rr = reserve requirements
Change in deposits will now be:
= (1/rr) × change in reserves
= 1/0.05 × 2500
= 20 × 2500
= $50,000
Therefore, the maximum possible increase in the money supply as a result of your bank deposit will be $50,000.

In a recent transaction, it issued a one-year $1.40 million CD at 5 percent and is planning to fund a loan in British pounds at 9 percent for a 4 percent expected spread. The spot rate of U.S. dollars for British pounds is $1.454/£1. a. However, new information now indicates that the British pound will appreciate such that the spot rate of U.S. dollars for British pounds is $1.43/£1 by year-end. Calculate the loan rate to maintain the 4 percent spread. b. The bank has an opportunity to hedge using one-year forward contracts at 1.46 U.S. dollars for British pounds. Calculate the net interest margin if the bank hedges its forward foreign exchange exposure. c. Calculate the loan rate to maintain the 4 percent spread if the bank intends to hedge its exposure using the forward rates.
Answer:
A) 10.82%
B) 5.27%
C) 8.56%
Explanation:
Given data :
North Bank Borrow ; $1.4 million at 5 percent
Lend in pounds at 9%
spread = ( 4% )
spot rate = 1.454
A) Determine the loan rate to maintain the 4 percent spread
Expected spot rate = 1.43
First step :
Lending amount = $1.4 million / initial spot rate = 1.4 / 1.454 = £ 0.9628 million
next :
calculate the final amount Required in $ to maintain 4% Spread
= principal ( $1.4 million ) + interest ( 9% of 1.4 ) = 1.4 + 0.126 = $1.526 million
In pound ( at the expected spot rate )
= 1.526 / 1.43 = £1.067 million
expected profit = £1.067 - £0.9628 = £ 0.1042 million
Therefore the interest rate tp maintain the 4 percent spread
= 0.1042 / 0.9628 = 10.82%
B) Determine the net interest margin if the bank hedges its forward foreign exchange exposure
Forward rate = 1.46
assuming interest as value calculated above = ( 10.82% )
lending amount = £0.9628 million
Repayment = 0.9628 * 111% * 1.46 = $1.5603 million
therefore return rate = $1.5603 - $1.4 = $0.1603 million = 10.27%
hence : Net interest margin = 10.27% - 5% = 5.27%
C) Determine the loan rate to maintain the 4 percent spread if the bank intends to hedge its exposure using the forward rates.
Forward Hedging contract forward rate = 1.46
lending amount = $1.4 / 1.454 = £ 0.9628 million
Total Interest and Principal Repayment Required in $ to maintain 4% Spread = $1.526 million
In pound = 1.526 / 1.46 = £ 1.0452
Interest = £1.0452 - £0.9628 = £0.0824 million
therefore interest Rate to maintain 4℅ Spread
= ( 0.0824 / 0.9628 ) * 100 = 8.56%
At the end of the current year, Accounts Receivable has a balance of $950,000; Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $8,500; and sales for the year total $4,280,000. Using the aging method, the balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated as $40,000. a. Determine the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts. $fill in the blank 1 b. Determine the adjusted balances of Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and Bad Debt Expense. Accounts Receivable $fill in the blank 2 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $fill in the blank 3 Bad Debt Expense $fill in the blank 4 c. Determine the net realizable value of accounts receivable. $fill in the blank 5
Answer:
a. Adjusting entry for Uncollectible accounts = Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Credit balance on Allowance for doubtful accounts
= 40,000 - 8,500
= $31,500
b. Accounts Receivable = $950,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $40,000
Bad Debt Expense = This is the adjusting entry for Uncollectible accounts = $31,500
c. Net realizable value of accounts receivable = Accounts receivables - Bad debt
= 950,000 - 31,500
= $918,500

Answer:
a. is equal to
b. is greater than
c. less than
Explanation:
The difference between variable costing and absorption costing methods is that the overheads are treated differently. While absorption costing method does not differentiate the fixed manufacturing overheads from the variable manufacturing costs, the variable costing method only accounts for the variable elements of all costs, whether manufacturing cost or not.
Metropolitan Water Utilities purchases surface water from Elephant Butte Irrigation District at a cost of $100,000 per month in the months of February through September. Instead of paying monthly, the utility makes a single payment of $800,000 at the end of each calendar year for the water it used. The delayed payment essentially rep- resents a subsidy by Elephant Butte Irrigation Dis- trict to the water utility. At an interest rate of 0.25% per month, what is the amount of the subsidy
Answer:
The amount of the subsidy is $6,000.
Explanation:
Since the payment is made at the end of each calendar year and the months of usage are the months of February through September, this implies the payment was due at the end of September but dalayed for 3 months from the end of September to the end of December.
The amount of subsidy can therefore be calculated as follows:
Subsidy amount = Total utility bill * Interest rate per month * Number of months the payment is delayed = $800,000 * 0.25% * 3 = $6,000
Therefore, the amount of the subsidy is $6,000.
