Cooley Company's stock has a beta of 1.40, the risk-free rate is 25%, and the market risk premium is 5.50%. What is the firm's required rate of return
Answer: 12.2%
Explanation:
Given the variables available, the required rate of return can be computed using the Capital Asset Pricing Model with the formula;
Required Return = Risk-free rate + beta ( Market risk premium)
Required return = 4.25% + 1.4 * 5.5%
Required return = 4.25% + 7.7%
Required return = 12.2%
Note; The actual question says the Risk-free rate is 4.25%.
you have just deposited $11000 in to an account that promises to pay you an annual interest rate of 6.5 percent each year for the next 6 years. You will leave the money invested in the account and 10 years from today. you need to have $26300 in the account. What annual interest rate must you earn over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal
Answer:
Over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal the annual interest rate must be 13.14 %.
Explanation:
First find the Future value (FV) of $11,000 at the end of the 6th year as follows :
PV = -$11,000
r = 6.50%
p/yr = 1
n = 6
Pmt = $0
FV = ?
Using a financial calculator, the Future Value (FV) is $16,050.57
Therefore, the amount invested will amount to $16,050.57 in 6 year.
Next we then calculate the interest rate that will give us $26300 in the next four years (remainder of the 10 years)
PV = -$16,050.57
FV = $26,300
P/yr = 1
n = 4
Pmt = $0
r = ?
Using a financial calculator, the Interest rate (r) is 13.14 %
Conclusion :
Over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal the annual interest rate must be 13.14 %.
Gilchrist Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the Corporation estimated the machine-hours for the upcoming year at 37,600 machine-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $4.38 per machine-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,026,856. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:
Answer:
Predetermined OH rate = $ 31.69 per machine hour
Explanation:
Predetermined Fixed OH rate = Estimated Fixed Overhead / Estimated machine hours = $1,026,856 / 37,600
Predetermined Fixed OH rate = $27.31 per machine hour
Predetermined OH rate = Predetermined Fixed OH rate + Predetermined variable OH rate = $ 27.31 + $ 4.38
Predetermined OH rate = $ 31.69 per machine hour
Abburi Company's manufacturing overhead is 55% of its total conversion costs. If direct labor is $45,900 and if direct materials are $27,200, the manufacturing overhead is:
Answer:
Manufacturing Overheads = $56100
Explanation:
The conversion cost defined simply is the cost involved in turning the raw material or direct material into the finished products. Conversion cost is calculated by adding the direct labor cost and the manufacturing overhead cost.
Conversion cost = Direct labor + Manufacturing overheads
As we know that the manufacturing overhead is 55% of conversion cost, then the direct labor cost is 45% of conversion cost.
If 45% of conversion cost is $45900, then the total conversion cost will be,
Conversion cost = 45900 * 100/45 = $102000
Manufacturing Overheads = 102000 - 45900 = $56100
Port Allen Chemical Company processes raw material D into joint products E and F. Raw material D costs $4 per liter. It costs $100 to convert 100 liters of D into 60 liters of E and 40 liters of F. Product F can be sold immediately for $4 per liter or processed further into Product G at an additional cost of $3 per liter. Product G can then be sold for $9 per liter.
a. Determine whether Product F should be sold or processed further into Product G.
b. Calculate the net advantage (disadvantage) of further processing.
c. Use a negative sign with your answer to indicate a net disadvantage (if applicable).
Answer:
a) Product G should be produced and sold
b) Net financial advantage $80
Explanation:
A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.
Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .
$
Revenue after split-off point
($9× 40 litres) 360
Revenue at the slit of point
($4 × 40) (160)
Additional income from further processing 200
Further processing cost ($3× 40) (120)
Incremental income from further processing 80
Incremental income from further processing = $80
a) The product F should be processed further and sold as product G. Doing so would increase the net income by $80.
b) Net advantage $80
Equivalent Units and Cost per Equivalent Unit-Weighted-Average Method [LO5-2, LO5-3]
Pureform, Inc., uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. It manufactures a product that passes through two departments. Data for a recent month for the first department follow:
Units Materials Labor Overhead
Work in process inventory, beginning 58,000 $ 56,200 19,700 $24,100
Units started in process 549,000
Units transferred out 570,000
Work in process inventory, ending 37,000
Cost added during the month $ 743,270 $ 243,460 $297,540
The beginning work in process inventory was 80% complete with respect to materials and 65% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The ending work in process inventory was 60% complete with respect to materials and 40 % complete with respect to labor and overhead.
Required:
1. Compute the first department's equivalent units of production for materials, labor, and overhead for the month.
2. Determine the first department's cost per equivalent unit for materials, labor, and overhead for the month. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Overhead Labor Materials
1. Equivalent units of production
2. Cost per equivalent unit
Answer:
Material Labour Overhead
1) Total equivalent unit 607,000 584,800 584,800
2) Cost per equivalent unit (a/b) 1.32 0.45 0.55
Explanation:
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Cost per equivalent unit = cost / total equivalent units
1) Equivalent units of production
Material Labour Overhead
Unit EU EU EU
Transferred out 570,000 570,000 570,000 570,000

Total equivalent unit 607,000 584,800 584,800
% of work done on WIP 60% 40% 40%
Note the equivalent unit for WIP is computed by multiplying the degree of work done (in %) by the units of WIP for each of the element of cost.
For example, the EU of material for WIP = 60% × 37,000 = 22,200
2. Cost per equivalent unit

3. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process.
Units transferred out $
Units in ending work in process
Answer:
1. Compute equivalent units of production for materials and for conversion costs
Equivalent units of Materials: (Units in Beginning Work in process + Units started into production - Units in ending work in process) + Units in ending work in process
= (0 + 37,300 - 8,200) + 8,200
= 37,300
Equivalent units of conversion costs : (Units in Beginning Work in process + Units started into production - Units in ending work in process) + (Units in ending work in process * 40%)
= (0 + 37,300 - 8,200) + (8,200 * 40%)
=29,100 + 3,280
= 32,380
2. Determine the unit costs of production
Unit costs of materials = Direct materials / Equivalent units of Materials
= $78,330 / 37,300
= $2.1
Unit costs of conversion costs = (Direct labor + Overhead) / Equivalent units of conversion costs
= ($66,500 + $105,114) / 32,380
= $171,614 / 32,380
= $5.3
3. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process
Units ending work in process = Materials + Conversion costs
where, Materials = 8,200 * $2.1 = $8,202
Conversion costs = 3,281 * $5.3 = $17,389
( 8,200 * 40%)
Units ending work in process = $8,202 + $17,389
= $25,591

Suppose you deposit your paycheck, drawn on another bank. The total money supply in the banking system will ___________ because:
a. Assets of your bank would increase by more than the amount withdrawn from the other bank.
b. An increase in the assets of your bank by the amount of your paycheck would simply decrease the assets of another bank by the same amount.
c. Assets of the other bank would decrease by a fraction of the amount deposited at your bank.
Answer:
Option B, An increase in the assets of your bank by the amount of your paycheck would simply decrease the assets of another bank by the same amount, is correct.
Explanation:
The total money supply in the banking system will remain the “same” because it is given that paycheck is drawn from another bank. So, if a person withdraws money from another bank it implies that there is a decrease in money supply in the banking system and when the cheque is deposited in the other bank so again the money supply will increase in the banking system. However, the amount of money supply will remain the same. Therefore, option B is the right answer.
Your firm has total sales of $22,980, costs of $14,715, and depreciation of $6,045. The tax rate is 34 percent. There are no interest expenses or other income. What is the operating cash flow?
Answer:
Thus, Operating cash flow for company is $7,510.20.
Explanation:
Total Sales = $22,980
Cost of goods sold = $14,715
Depreciation = $6,045
Profit before tax = Total Sales – Cost of goods sold – Depreciation
= $22,980 – $14,715 – $6,045
=$2,220
Profit before tax is $2,220
Tax rate = 34%
Net profit = profit before tax × (1 – 34%)
= $1,465.20
Net profit for company is $1,465.20.
Operating cash flow = Net profit + Depreciation
= $1,465.20 + $6,045
= $7,510.20
Thus, Operating cash flow for company is $7,510.20.

Required:
a. Prepare an income statement for the upcoming year using variable costing.
b. Prepare an income statement for the upcoming year using absorption costing.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
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).
Absorption costing income statement:
Sales= 12,000*54= 648,000
COGS= (12,000*27) + 120,000= (444,000)
Gross profit= 204,000
Total operating expenses= (12,000*4) + 92,000= (140,000)
Net operating income= 64,000
Variable costing income statement:
Sales= 648,000
Total variable cost= 12,000*(27 + 4)= (372,000)
Total contribution margin= 276,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead= (120,000)
Fixed operating expenses= (92,000)
Net operating income= 64,000
On January 1, Boston Enterprises issues bonds that have a $3,400,000 par value, mature in 20 years, and pay 9% interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds are sold at par. 1. How much interest will Boston pay (in cash) to the bondholders every six months
Answer:
interest expense per coupon payment (every 6 months) = $153,000
Explanation:
In this case, since the bonds were sold at par, the interest expense and the actual cash payments are the same (no premium or discount would be amortized). To calculate the interest payment we just multiply the bonds' face value x annual interest rate x 1/2 (semiannual coupons) = $3,400,000 x 9% x 1/2 = $153,000
If two firms producing substitutes agree to fix prices, then their prices will 1.____________ . If two firms producing complements agree to fix prices, then their prices will 2.____________ .
Answer: increase; decrease.
Explanation:
Price fixing is a situation that occurs when two companies come together and form an agreement whereby the price of a particular goods or services will not be sold below that particular price.
When two firms producing substitutes agree to fix prices, then their prices will increase and when two firms that are producing complements fix prices, then their prices will reduce.
he Clark Company fails to record these two adjusting journal entries: Depreciation on Equipment: $10 Cash Dividends declared: $40 Working capital will be:
Answer:
Working Capital will be overstated by the amount of $40.
Explanation:
Of the two the adjusting entries, we need to identify the adjusting entry that affects any element of Working Capital (Current Assets or Current Liability).
Depreciation Entries include : Debit Depreciation Expense (Expense) $10 and Credit Accumulated Depreciation $10.
Cash Dividends Declared Entries include : Debit Dividend (Equity) $40 and Credit Shareholders for Dividends (Liability) $40.
Thus, the Liabilities will be understated due to omission of Cash Dividends Declared Entries.
Subsequently, Working Capital will be overstated by the amount of $40.
Break-even point Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $160, the unit variable cost is $120, and the total fixed costs are $725,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $170.
A. Compute the current break-even sales (units).
B. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant.
Answer:
A. 18,125 units
B. 14,500 units
Explanation:
Break -even is the level of activity where a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $725,000 ÷ ( $160 - $120)
= 18,125 units
New Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $725,000 ÷ ( $170- $120)
= 14,500 units
In 2008, the United States began to witness one of the worst recessions since the 1930s. The collapse of the housing bubble in 2006 led to a massive decline in real estate prices, affecting consumers and institutions, especially banking and financial entities. Severe liquidity shortfalls in the United States as well as other global markets led to a serious credit crisis. During the credit crisis of 2008–2009, several banks and other businesses went through a reorganization process or were forced to liquidate. Consider the following example:________.
In January 2009, American electronics retailer Circuit City Inc. closed all of its stores and sold all of its merchandise.
The above is an example of:______.
A. Reorganization
B. Liquidation.
Answer:
B. Liquidation.
Explanation:
Liquidation is and aftermath of the inability of a company or establishment to meet up with her obligations at the required moment. Thus, the company folds-up, lay off her staff and stop operating. While reorganization is a form of restructuring in a company or establishment. It may involve change of positions and duties among capable staff.
The example in the given scenario is that of liquidation because it ceased from operation.
When using the equity method, receipt of cash dividends increases the carrying (book) value of an investment in equity securities.

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is the largest shopping day of the year. Do the early shoppers, who often wait in line for hours in the cold to get doorbuster sale items, have elastic or inelastic demand?
Answer:
Early shoppers have elastic demand because of the quantity demanded. That changes significantly as the result of a price change. Elastic means ‘sensitive’. Which means shoppers are responding to Black Friday deals currently happening so they can buy products they/want/need at the prices they wish to spend.
Answer: I personally would say the shoppers who wait in line for hours have an elastic demand.
Explanation: The reason why they have an elastic demand is because an elastic demand means when an elastic product is defined as one where a change in the price of the product leads to a significant change in the demand for that product. Which the people waiting outside are buying the item due to the change in price.
The following data relate to factory overhead cost for the production of 10,000 computers:
Actual: Variable factory overhead $262,000
Fixed factory overhead 90,000
Standard: 14,000 hrs. at $25 350,000
If productive capacity of 100% was 15,000 hours and the total factory overhead cost budgeted at the level of 14,000 standard hours was $356,000, determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance, fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance. The fixed factory overhead rate was $6.00 per hour.
Answer:
1.-4,000 Favorable
2.6,000 Unfavorable
3.$2,000 Unfavorable
Explanation:
1.Preparation to determine variable factory overhead Controllable variance
Using this formula
Variable factory overhead Controllable variance=Standard hours * rate- Fixed factory overhead rate
Let plug in the formula
Variable factory overhead Controllable variance=14,000 * 25.00- 6.00= 266,000
Variable factory overhead Controllable variance = 262,000- 266,000
Variable factory overhead Controllable variance= -4,000 Favorable
2. Preparation to determine fixed factory overhead volume variance .
First step is to deduct Productive capacity hours from total factory overhead cost standard hours
15,000 hours -14,000 hours =1,000 hrs
Second step is to find the fixed factory overhead volume variance
Using this formula

B. 29.2%, 12.5%, 10.0%, respectively. C. 27.0%, 11.0%, 10.5%, respectively. D. 21.5%, 17.5%, 12.0%, respectively.
Answer:
B. 29.2%, 12.5%, 10.0%
Explanation:
Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold / Sales
Gross Profit = $1,200 - $850 / $1,200
Gross Profit = $350 / $1,200
Gross Profit = 0.2917
Gross Profit = 29.17%
Operating profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating Expenses / Sales
Operating profit = $1,200 - $850 - $200 / $1,200
Operating profit = $150 / $1,200
Operating profit = 0.125
Operating profit = 12.5%
Net profit margin = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Income Taxes / Sales
Net profit margin= $1,200 - $850 - $200 - $30 / $1,200
Net profit margin $120 / $1,200
Net profit margin= 0.1
Net profit margin= 10%

It has no intrinsic value which means that it does not have any value of its own and it is maintained by the government. Therefore, If people lost confidence in the government the kind of money that would have the least value is fiat money
At the beginning of year 1, Looby Corp. purchases equipment for $100,000. The equipment has a residual value of $20,000 and an expected useful life of 10 years. What is accumulated depreciation at the end of year 2 using straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Accumulated Depreciation at the end of year = $16,000
Explanation:
Under the straight line method of depreciation, the cost of an asset less the salvage value is spread equally over the expected useful life.
An equal amount is charged as annual depreciation over the life of the asset. The annual depreciation is calculated as follows:
Annual depreciation:
= (cost of assets - salvage value)/ Estimated useful life
Cost - 100,000
Residual value = 20,000
Estimated useful life = 10 years
Annual depreciation = (100,000- 20,000)/10 =8,000
Annual depreciation = 8,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = Annual depreciation× number of years
= 8,000× 2 = 16,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = $16,000
When a standalone organization is created and owned by two or more parent companies together, the strategic alliance is referred to as a(n) _____.
Answer:
Joint venture
Explanation:
A joint venture is one where two or more parties agree to pool their resources together to accomplish a particular goal.
Each participant shares in the profit, loss, and cost associated with the business.
However the venture an entity that is independent of the participant's other business interest.
So when a standalone organization is created and owned by two or more parent companies together, it is called a joint venture
How could managers use increased worker flexibility and diligence to increase the competitiveness of their manufacturing sites
Explanation:
In order to increase the flexibility and diligence of workers in order to increase the competitiveness of their manufacturing sites, it is ideal for management to offer working conditions that allow employees greater benefits, such as greater mobility, with a layout that includes the correct flow between people, products and materials.
It is also ideal to implement technologies that reduce the bureaucracy both at work and facilitate communication and carrying out tasks.
Mobility also includes remote work using technology.
These are strategies that help to make work more flexible and, consequently, increase innovation in work and worker motivation.
The correct way in which the flexibility of the workers in an organization can be increased is by adapting to suitable principles of business management as per the size and scale of the business.
This will also help the manager to increase the competitiveness in the market and also beat the need for optimum level of production in the organization.
Principles of Business Management. The principles of business management as given by economist Henry Fayol are a great source for how the business can be run efficiently and effectively using the resources available.There can be chain level management that can be followed to achieve specialization of work and bring in additional capital or workforce to divide the work uniformly. Manufacturing can also be increased by doing departmentalization in management to save up costs and achieve optimum utilization of resources.Hence, a manager may adapt to different principles of management to increase competitiveness and effectiveness in the level of manufacturing.

Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system in which a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is computed based on direct labor-hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 9.00 $ 7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $15.00 $ 17.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.40 4.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
These products are customized to some degree for specific customers.
Required:
1. The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $1,600,000. Using the company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products.
2. Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year:
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 8,000 8,000 16,000
Compute the unit product costs for the two products using the proposed ABC system.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 9.00 $ 7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $15.00 $ 17.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.40 4.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
A. First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Total direct labor hours= 0.4*4,000 + 4.8*8,000= 40,000
Overhead= 1,600,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,600,000/40,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $40 per direct labor hour
Now, we can determine the unitary product cost.
Mercon= 9 + 15 + 40*0.4= $37
Wurcon= 7 + 17 + 4.8*40= $216
B.
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 8,000 8,000 16,000
Now, we have two different allocation rates:
Direct-labor hours= 800,000/40,000= $20 per direct labor hour
Engineer desing= 800,000/16,000= $50 per engineer desing hour
Finally, we can determine the unitary product cost:
Engineer design per unit:
Mercon= 8,000/4,000= 2
Wurcon= 8,000/8,000= 1
Mercon= 9 + 15 + (20*0.4 + 50*2) = $132
Wurcon= 7 + 17 + (20*4.8 + 50*1)= $170
