Answer with its Explanation:
The forces that had lessened the importance of the cost and management accounting systems in today's dynamic world are as under:
The ancient bookkeeping and the costing techniques were very time consuming and the accounting systems were also not integrated with the financial accounting systems. Today we have very robust and integrated systems which helps the management of the business operations nation wide with greater security and better performance than the previous old versions.The complexity of the organization operations have resulted in origination of additional management accounting techniques that were adapted in the form of automated software, that are used to produce management reports on daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. The examples include the Throughput costing, Activity based costing, Bench-marking techniques, etc. The activities automation has led to attaining of maximum efficiency possible in some areas which wasn't possible in the past. The robots management systems, activity automation, etc has increased the fixed cost share in the total cost and the variable cost has become a very minute share of the total cost of the activity. This variable cost which is often referred to as controllable cost, is very less in percentage share of total cost today than 10 years back. In the future, we will see it as a very very very small share of total cost. This makes the today's management costing techniques obsolete and requires new solutions, new techniques, new softwares, etc. to manage the companies operations.The cost of direct materials transferred into the Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company is $538,900. The conversion cost for the period in the Bottling Department is $592,000. The total equivalent units for direct materials and conversion are 31,700 and 7,400, respectively. Determine the direct materials and conversion cost per equivalent unit.
Answer: 17 per unit; 80 per unit
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the cost of direct materials transferred into the Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company is $538,900 and that the conversion cost for the period in the Bottling Department is $592,000 while the total equivalent units for direct materials and conversion are 31,700 and 7,400, respectively.
The direct materials cost per equivalent unit will be the cost of direct materials that is transferred into the Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company which is $538,900 divided by the total equivalent units for direct materials which is 31700. This will be:
= $538,900/31700
= 17 per unit
The conversion cost per equivalent unit will be the conversion cost for the period in the Bottling Department which is $592,000 divided by the total equivalent units for conversion which is 7,400. This will be:
= $59200/7400
= 80 per unit

You would like to have $50,000 saved at the end of Year 5. At the end of Year 2, you can deposit $7,500 for this purpose. If you earn 4.5 percent, how much must you deposit today to reach your goal assuming no other deposits are made
Answer:
The amount that should be deposited today is $33254.58
Explanation:
The deposit should be such that the future value of the deposit made today and at the end of year 2 should be equal to $50000 after 5 years. Let the deposit made today be x. The equation for the future value will be,
50000 = x * (1+0.045)^5 + 7500 * (1+0.045)^3
50000 = x * (1.045)^5 + 8558.745938
50000 - 8558.745938 = x * (1.045)^5
41441.25406 / (1.045)^5 = x
x = $33254.57769 rounded off to $33254.58
Dividends are expected to grow at 25% per year during the next three years, 15% over the following year and then 6% per year indefinitely. The required return on this stock is 9% and the stock currently sells for $79 per share. What is the projected dividend for the second year
Answer:
$1.56
Explanation:
Lets assume the dividend paid for year zero is $1. The growth for the first 3 years is 25% which is given in the question. Now we will find the value of the Projected dividend for year 2 using the compounding formula, as under:
The Projected dividend for year 1 = $1 * (1 + 25%)^ 2 years = $1.56
Suppose a business takes out a $7,000, five-year loan at 6 percent that will be paid annually with a single, fixed payment each period. How much will be the annual payment?
Answer: $1,662
Explanation:
The question is asking for the annual payment that will result in a present value of $7,000 given 6% and 5 years. This payment is constant so is an annuity.
7,000 = Payment * Present value Interest factor of an Annuity, 6%, 5 periods)
7,000 = Payment * 4.212
Payment = 7,000/4.212
= $1,661.92
= $1,662
Wendy wants to start a business. She knows many unaccredited investors who she knows will help her jumpstart her business. What constraints on investments for new businesses apply here?
Available Options are:
A. Investors' allowable investment depends on the accredited or non-accredited status.
B. Investors may invest a combined $50 million within a 12-month period.
C. Investors may invest no more than $1 million combined for the first year of the business.
Answer:
Option C. Investors may invest no more than $1 million combined for the first year of the business.
Explanation:
The non-accredited investors do not invest more than $1 million for first year. Furthermore, for Investor it also imposes investment in current business conditions which says that Investor can invest in its business with greater of:
1. $2000
2. Or the lesser of (If the net worth of Wendy is less than $100,000)
5% of its total income for the year Net worthThere is also an option which is available if the net worth of Investor exceeds above $100,000 then he can invest up to lesser of 10% of his income or net worth, otherwise he will have to follow the above conditions.
Here, it also has an upper limit, which means that the investor can not invest more than $100,000 in the subsequent year, whatever the level of net worth or income he had for the year.
This means the non-accredited investor can not invest more than $1 million.
Coates Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $249,000, variable manufacturing overhead of $3.80 per machine-hour, and 30,000 machine-hours. The company has provided the following data concerning Job X784 which was recently completed: Number of units in the job 50 Total machine-hours 250 Direct materials $ 470 Direct labor cost $5,500 If the company marks up its unit product costs by 30% then the selling price for a unit in Job X784 is closest to:
Answer:
Selling price per unit= $233.87
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Overhead:
Estimated overhead= $249,000
Variable manufacturing overhead= $3.80 per machine-hou
Estimated machine-hours= 30,000 machine-hours.
Job X784:
Number of units in the job 50
Total machine-hours 250
Direct materials $ 470
Direct labor cost $5,500
Selling price= 30% mark up
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (249,000/30,000) + 3.8
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $12.1 per machine hour
Now, we can determine the total cost of Job X784:
Total cost= 470 + 5,500 + (12.1*250)
Total cost= $8,995
Finally, the selling price per unit:
Unitary cost= 8,995/50= $179.9
Selling price per unit= 179.9*1.30= $233.87

Compute the cost of goods sold.
a. $293,000
b. $270,000
c. $268,000
d. $272,000
Answer:
COGS= $288,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Inventories January 1 January 31
Finished goods 14,000 16,000
Bryant transferred $290,000 of completed goods out of work in the process during January.
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 14,000 + 290,000 - 16,000
COGS= 288,000
Express cost of goods sold as a common-size percentage using the following data. Sales - $45,000; cost of goods sold - $29,340; gross profit from sales - $15,660; operating expenses - $10,800; net income - $4,860.
a. 100%
b. 31%
c. 12%
d. 10.8%
Answer:
Cost of goods sold as a common size percentage= 65.2 %
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold as common size percentage implies the cost of goods sold in absolute is expressed as proportion of the absolute value of Revenue expressed as percentage.
Using the data above = cost of goods sold/Revenue × 100
= 29,340/45,000× 100
=65.2 %
Cost of goods sold as a common size percentage=65.2 %

Consider the following data for a closed economy:
Y = $11 Trillion
C = $8 Trillion
I = $2 Trillion
TR = $1 Trillion
T= $3 Trillion
Use these data to calculate the following:
a. Private saving
b. Public saving
c. Goverment purchases
d. The goverment budget deficit or budget surplus
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
a. . Private saving
Private saving=Y+TR-C-T
= $11t + $1t - $8t - $3t
= $12 trillion - $11 trillion
= $1 trillion
b. Public saving
Public Saving= T-G-TR
Since G is not given, we can use:
I = public saving + private saving
$2t = public savings + $1t
Public saving= $2 trillion - $1 trillion
Public savings = $1 trillion
c. Goverment purchases
Since public savings = T - G - TR
$1t = $3t - G - $1t
G = $3t - $1t - $1t
G = $3 trillion - $2 trillion
G = $1 trillion
d. The goverment budget deficit or budget surplus.
There is a budget surplus of $1 trillion which has been calculated in the public savings.

what is the producers surplus when barylia engages in trade and the government imposes a tariff of $1
Answer: $20
Explanation:
When the Government introduces a tariff, it will have the effect of reducing competition for the local producers because import prices will now be higher.
The Producer surplus before the tariff was G because they were forced to sell at the global price. With the imposition of the tariff, the price went to $4 or rather P2. This then increased Producer Surplus to include area F as well.
The total Producer Surplus is therefore, F + G.
This is a triangle so it will be solved for the area by the formula;
= [tex]\frac{1}{2} * base * height[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] * 20 * ( 4 -2)
= 10 * 2
= $20

73) A company releases a five-year bond with a face value of $1000 and coupons paid semiannually. If market interest rates imply a YTM of 8%, which of the following coupon rates will cause the bond to be issued at a premium? A) 7% B) 6% C) 8% D) 10%
Answer:
The answer is D. 10%
Explanation:
The coupon rate that must cause the bond to be issued at a premium must be greater than the Yield-to-maturity (YTM).
If it is issued at a coupon rate equals to the Yield-to-maturity (YTM), it is said to be issued at par.
And If it is issued at a coupon rate lower to the Yield-to-maturity (YTM), it is said to be at discounts

Answer:
$53,600
Explanation:
The computation of the cash flow from investing activities is shown below:
Cash flow from investing activities
Sale value of machinery $53,600
Net cash flow from investing activities $53,600
The current year depreciation expense is to be reported under operating activities and as we know that the investing activities record those activities which are held for purchased and sale of long term assets so the sale value fo machinery is only reported
If some of the products developed by I'mASoftwareCo. must face market competition that can very quickly produce either an identical product or a close substitute for it, then
a) it may decide against R&D projects of this sort.
b) it will have to figure out innovative ways to prevent adaptation and copying of its products.
c) the other firms will all save on their R&D costs.
d) it must charge more for its products to quickly compensate for the research and development costs.
Answer:
A.It may decide against R & D projects of this sort
Explanation:
Where there is market competition, such can present an avenue for a firm to discover new products/technology. Also, a firm could generate more profit because they are able to produce goods at a cheaper rate or produce products with certain features that suits customers needs. When a firm is innovative, it will have an edge over it's competitors in the mean time hence must have made enough profits before competitors catches up.
However, in a case where competition discourages technology as in the above case i.e a new firm copying the company's idea, the company may decide against R&D projects of this sort because if the research and development effort fails, the company may incur loss which could drive it out of business. Moreover, it means that the R&D on such product has not been successful since an identical product or a close substitute product can quickly be produced by it's competitors hence must be decided against to avoid them making losses.

=(77.59-74.82) / 74,82
=3.70%
Hence APR = 3.70*2 (since six months is the period)
=7.40%
ii. EAR = (1.037^2) - 1
=1.075369 - 1
=0.075369
=7.536%

AB Corporation and YZ Corporation formed a partnership to construct a shopping mall. AB contributed $527,000 cash, and YZ contributed land ($527,000 FMV and $457,000 basis) in exchange for a 50 percent interest in ABYZ Partnership. Immediately after its formation, ABYZ borrowed $263,500 from a local bank. The debt is recourse (unsecured by any specific partnership asset). Compute each partner's initial basis in its partnership interest, assuming that:
a. AB and YX are both general partners.
b. AB is a general partner, and YZ is a limited partner.
Answer:
a. AB and YX are both general partners.
AB's basis in the partnership's interests = $527,000 + ($263,500/2) = $658,750
YZ's basis in the partnership's interests = $457,000 + ($263,500/2) = $588,750
Each partner share 50% interest in the recourse debt.
b. AB is a general partner, and YZ is a limited partner.
AB's basis in the partnership's interests = $527,000 + $263,500 = $790,500
YZ's basis in the partnership's interests = $457,000
Only AB has a share in the recourse debt, since YZ is a limited partner it has no recourse debt share.
