Answer:
$362,353
Explanation:
In order to answer this question I prepared an amortization schedule to determine the remaining principal balance at the end of the 30th year.
The problem with this loan is that the interests charged for the first month only are $1,640. This means that your monthly payment will not even cover the interest expense which means that the principal will grow month after month. After 360 months, your loan balance will increase from $320,000 to $362,353.
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
Work in progress 37,000 22,200 14,800 14,800
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
$ $ $
Cost brought forward 56,200 19,700 24,100
Cost incurred and added 743,270 243,460 297,540
Total cost (a) 799,470 263,160 321,640
Total equivalent unit(b) 607,000 584,800 584,800
Cost per equivalent unit (a/b) 1.32 0.45 0.55
Cost per equivalent unit = Total cost / total equivalent units

Answer:
Yes, the FTC would ignore the merger and allow it to go through.
Explanation:
here are the options to the question ;
O No, the FTC would probably challenge the merger
O Maybe. The FTC would scrutinize the merger and make a case-by-case decislon.
Yes, the FTC would ignore the merger and allow it to go through.
HHI is used to calculate market power.
if the HHI index is less than 1000 post merger, the merger would be allowed to go through.
If the HHI index is between 1000 - 1800 post merger and the change in HHI is more than 100 after the merger, The FTC would scrutinize the merger and make a case-by-case decislon.
If the HHI index is more than 1800 post merger and the change in HHI is more than or equal to 50, he FTC would probably challenge the merger
During March, Pendergraph Corporation incurred $65,000 of actual Manufacturing Overhead costs. During the same period, the Manufacturing Overhead applied to Work in Process was $67,000. The journal entry to record the incurrence of the actual Manufacturing Overhead costs would include a:
Answer:
debit to Manufacturing Overhead of $65,000
Explanation:
Manufacturing overhead cost are those that are shared to different processes that do not contribute directly to product being manufactured.
For example raw materials is a direct contributor to goods, while labour is a overhead cost that indirectly contributed to the good.
On the given scenario it is the actual amount incurred that will be debited to the books of the company.
So there will be a debit to Manufacturing Overhead of $65,000
Wolverine Company financial statements included the effects of these errors: Reported Net Income for Year 1 was $20,000. Reported Net Income for Year 2 was $18,000. Indicate the error in 12/31/2 Retained Earnings:
Answer:
Net income year 2 = $21,300
Explanation:
I looked for the missing information and found this:
Year Depreciation overstated Prepaid expense omitted
1 $2,500 $2,000
2 $4,000 $2,700
If your question doesn't include the same values, just adjust the answer.
Year 2's net income = net income (year 2) + overstated depreciation (year 2) + omitted prepaid expenses (year 1) - omitted prepaid expenses (year 2) = $18,000 + $4,000 + $2,000 - $2,700 = $21,300

a. operating activities
b. investing activities
c. noncash investing and financing activities
d. financing activities
Answer:
b. investing activities
Explanation:
Cash flow can be defined as the net amount of cash and cash-equivalents that is flowing into (received) and out (given) of a business. There are three components of the cash flow;
1. Operating cash flow: all cash generated from the business activities of an organization.
2. Financing cash flow: all payments made by an organization and profits from issuance of debts and equity.
3. Investing cash flow: costs associated with purchasing of capital assets and investments of cash resources in other businesses.
A company purchases equipment for $32,000 cash. This transaction should be shown on the statement of cash flows under investing activities.
Generally, investing activities comprises of purchasing physical assets, investing in securities and the sale of assets or securities associated with the company.
Hence, a company that purchases equipment for $32,000 cash should show the transaction on the statement of cash flows under investing activities.
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
rockwell corp just paid a dividend of .50. analysts expect their dividends to increase by 7% every year for the next 3 years, and then have a constant dividend growth rate of 2% after year 3. If your required return is 8% what is the present value of the stock?
Answer:
Price of share today = $9.74
Explanation:
The price of a share can be calculated using the dividend valuation model
According to this model the value of share is equal to the sum of the present values of its future cash dividends discounted at the required rate of return.
If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the value of a share is calculated using the formula below:
Price=Do (1+g)/(k-g)
Do - dividend in the following year, K- requited rate of return , g- growth rate
Step 1 : PV of dividend from year 1 to 3
PV = D × (1+r)^(-n)
D- dividend receivable in a particular year, r- required rate of return, n- year
Year PV of Dividend
1 0.50 × 1.07^1 ×1.08^(-1) = 0.495
2 0.50 × 1.07^2 ×1.08^(-2) = 0.491
3 0.50× 1.07^3× 1.08^(-3) = 0.486
Step 2 : PV of dividend from year 4 to infinity
PV (in year 3 terms) of dividend= 0.50× 1.07^3 ×1.02/(0.08-0.02) = 10.41
PV in year 0 terms = 10.41 × 1.08^(-3) = 8.27
Total Present Value = 0.495 + 0.491 + 0.486 + 8.27 = 9.738
Price of share today = $9.74
If portfolio weights are positive: 1) Can the return on a portfolio ever be less than the smallest return on an individual security in the portfolio? 2) Can the variance of a portfolio ever be less than the smallest variance of an individual security in the portfolio? A) 1) yes; 2) no B) 1) no; 2) yes C) 1) no; 2) no D) 1) maybe; 2) no E) 1) yes; 2) yes
Answer: B) 1) no; 2) yes
Explanation:
The return on a portfolio when the portfolio weights are positive will be between the highest return and the lowest return. It cannot exceed these limits.
With Variance however, the variance of a portfolio can be less than the smallest variance of an individual security in the portfolio because in the calculation of portfolio variance, the correlation is used in the calculation (refer to formula below). As a result, if the securities are negatively correlated, it could lead to a lower value than the smallest variance in the portfolio.
Variance of Portfolio = (w(1)^2 * o(1)^2) + (w(2)^2 * o(2)^2) + (2 * (w(1)*o(1)*w(2)*o(2)*q(1,2)))
Highlighted portion is the correlation. If this is negative, Portfolio variance will reduce to a point lower than the lowest individual variance.
Based on the information given, the correct option will be B. 1) no; 2) yes
It should be noted that the return on a portfolio when the portfolio weights are positive will be calculated as the value that is between the highest return and the lowest return.
In such a case, the return on a portfolio can never be less than the smallest return on the individual security in the portfolio. Also, the variance of a portfolio can be less than the smallest variance of the individual security in the portfolio.

The bonds of CYTK, Inc. carry a 12% annual coupon, have a $1,000 face value, and mature in 5 years. Bonds of equivalent risk yield 9%. What is the market value of CYTK bonds
Answer:
The market value of CYTK bonds is $1,116.69.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Annual coupon = $1000 × 12% = $120
Annual coupon discount factor based ordinary annuity = ((1-(1/(1 + r))^n)/r)
Where;
r = rate of return of equivalent bond = 9%, or 0.09
n = number of years to maturity = 5
Therefore, we have
Annual coupon discount factor = ((1-(1/(1.09))^5)/0.09) = 3.88965126335172
PV of coupon = $120 × 3.88965126335172 = $466.76
PV of the face value of the bond = Face value ÷ (1 + r)^n = 1,000 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^5 = $649.93
Therefore, we have:
Market value of CYTK bonds = PV of coupon + PV of the face value of the bond = $466.76 + $649.93 = $1,116.69
Therefore, the market value of CYTK bonds is $1,116.69.
Suppose that, during a recession, the government borrows money to provide free movies as a distraction from the poor economy. Which of the following statements are correct?
A. The free movies as a distraction from the poor economy will likely raise interest rates as the government borrows more money to finance the purchase.
B. This policy will likely be accompanied by an impact lag as the policy takes time to make its way to the people.
C. The provision of free movies is an example of an automatic stabilizer.
D. The government is engaging in contractionary fiscal policy.
E. Crowding-out will occur as individuals choose to rely on free movies instead of purchasing their own.
Answer: A. . The free movies as a distraction from the poor economy will likely raise interest rates as the government borrows more money to finance the purchase.
B. This policy will likely be accompanied by an impact lag as the policy takes time to make its way to the people.
E. Crowding-out will occur as individuals choose to rely on free movies instead of purchasing their own
Explanation:
We are informed that during a recession, the government borrows money to provide free movies as a distraction from the poor economy.
The effect of this is that there will be a likely increase in the interest rates because the government borrows more money to finance the purchase of tickets.
Also, due to the free movies, there'll be an impact lag as the policy will take time before it make its way to the people and there will also be crowding-out because the individuals will rely on free movies instead of purchasing their own.

se the following information for Jett Co. to answer the following question: 2015 2014 Sales 1,200 1,000 COGS 850 700 Operating Expenses 200 200 Income Taxes 30 35 Jett Co.'s gross profit, operating profit and net profit margins for 2015 are: A. 50.0%, 32.5%, 22.5% respectively. 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%

$
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

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
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 Atlantic Company sells a product for $150 per unit. The variable cost is $60 per unit, and fixed costs are $270,000. What is the break-even point in sales units?_____________________________________ What is the break-even points in sales units if the company desires a target profit of $36,000?
Answer:
The break even units are 3000 units and when it desires the profit of $36000 then sales unit is 3400 units.
Explanation:
The selling price of a product (SP) = $150 per unit.
Variable cost (VC) = $60 per unit.
Fixed cost of the company = $270000
Break-even units can be calculated by dividing the fixed cost from the difference in selling price and variable cost.
Break even Units = (fixed cost) / ( SP – VC)
= 270000 / (150-60)
= 3000 units.
Break-even units when a company desires a profit of $36000.
Desired units for sales = (Fixed Cost + Profit)/ Contribution per unit
= (270,000 + 36,000) / (150 - 60)
= 3,400 units

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.
