Explanation:

Using the good output and a flexible budget, the static budget was not achieved favorably as depicted.

A flexible budget varies the budgeted units to agree with the volume of activity.  This produces a different result from the static budget, which does not vary the budgeted units according to the volume of activity.

A flexible budget is preferable as it reflects the correct performance given the activity level or volume of production or sales.

Mills Corporation's balance sheet included the following information: Accounts Receivable $ 580,000 Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 73,000 Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance $ 507,000 If the Allowance account had a credit balance of $31,500 immediately before the year-end adjustment for bad debts and no accounts were written-off or allowed for during the year, what was the amount of Bad Debt Expense recognized during the year

Answers

Answer:

The amount of Bad Debt Expense recognized during the year is $41,500.

Explanation:

Bad debt expense is an estimate of the accounts receivable that is deemed uncollectible. At times, it is determined by percentage of credit method or aging method.

If the allowance account had an opening balance of $31,500 before adjustment and there was no rite-off during the period, with a closing balance of $73,000, the bad debt expense is simply the difference between the closing balance and the opening balance, that is , $73,000 - $31,500 = $41,500.

Consider a portfolio manager with a $20,500,000 equity portfolio under management. The manager wishes to hedge against a decline in share values using stock index futures. Currently a stock index future is priced at 1250 and has a multiplier of 250. The portfolio beta is 1.25. Calculate the number of contracts required to hedge the risk exposure and indicate whether the manager should be short or long.

Answers

Answer:

Assume that a month later the equity portfolio has a market value of $20,000,000 and the stock index future is priced at 1150 with a multiplier of 250. Calculate the profit on the equity position.

Calculate the overall profit.

$1,550,000

Explanation:

Assume that a month later the equity portfolio has a market value of $20,000,000 and the stock index future is priced at 1150 with a multiplier of 250. Calculate the profit on the equity position.

Calculate the overall profit.

The manager should be short on the stock index futures because the position on the equity portfolio is long.

Number of contracts required to hedge

= [$20,500,000/(1250*250)] * 1.25 = 82 contracts

Profit on the equity portfolio

= $20,000,000 - $20,500,000 = -$500,000

Profit on the stock index future

= [(1250)(250) – (1150)(250)] x 82 = $2,050,000

Overall profit

=  $2,050,000 - $500,000

= $1,550,000

therefore, the overall profit is  $1,550,000

In early 2020, Beerbo determined that the economic benefits of the patent would not last longer than 4 more years (6 years from the date of acquisition). Given the revised useful life, Beerbo expects the useful life of the patent to expire on December 31, [a1]. (Input year; e.g. "2020") At the end of 2019 / beginning of 2020, what was the value / net book value of the patent in Beerbo's books

Answers

Answer:

$800,000

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Beerbo expects patent's useful life to expire on Dec-31 2023.

At the beginning of 2020 / end of 2019, the value of the patent in Beerbo's book = $1,000,000 - ($1,000,000 ÷ 10×2))

= $800,000

Amortix patent year = 4

Patent amortization expense at the end of 2020 = $800,000 ÷ 4

=$200,000

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option B: recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.

Explanation:

To begin with, the concept of ''marginal cost of capital'' refers to the composite rate of return that is required by the shareholders and the debt-holders in order to establish a new investment in the actual company. Moreover, this type of cost relates to the weighted average cost of the last dollar of new capital raised by the company and is has the necessity of being greater than or at least equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised due to the fact that only in that way the investors will consider to invest again in a new project for the company.

Which of the following would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve right? a. both an increase in the capital stock and an increase in the price level b. an increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level c. an increase in the money supply, but not an increase in the capital stock d. neither an increase in the money supply nor an increase in the capital stock

Answers

Answer:

b. an increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level.

Explanation:

In order to understand both short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy movement from short to long run, we need the aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.

An increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve right.

The long-run aggregate supply curve would shift rightward when immigration from foreign countries rises or technology improves.

When the price level rises, the wealth effect and the interest-rate effect provide incentives for consumers to spend less. The price level of goods and services in an economy influences the exchange rate, imports and exports

Exercise 24-5 Payback period computation; even cash flows LO P1 Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $520,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $150,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000. A machine costs $380,000, has a $20,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $60,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is shown below:

1. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow      

where,

Initial investment is $520,000

Net cash flow is =  incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense

= $150,000 + $85,000

= $235,000

The depreciation expense is

= ($520,000 - $10,000) ÷ (6 years)

= $85,000

Now the payback period is

= $520,000 ÷ $235,000

= 2.21 years

2. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow      

where,

Initial investment is $380,000

Net cash flow is =  incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense

= $60,000 + $45,000

= $105,000

The depreciation expense is

= ($380,000 - $20,000) ÷ (8 years)

= $45,000

Now the payback period is

= $380,000 ÷ $105,000

= 3.62 years

Also, for F360($/€), the bid and ask values are: $1.48 = €1.00 and $1.50 = €1.00 respectively; the borrowing and lending values are 3.10% APR and 3% APR.

Therefore, the Borrowing rate is ($) 4.25% in $ . Thus, $1,000,000 for one year, one we owe

$1,000,000 × (1 + 0.0425) = $1,042,500 at maturity.

Answers

Answer:

The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580

Explanation:

In order to calculate The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to calculate first the Overhead allocated to Maintenance from Payroll department as follows:

Overhead allocated=Payroll overhead×(Maintenance payroll personnel/Total personnel)

Overhead allocated=$ 20,400×(15/15+15+45)

Overhead allocated=$4,080

Therefore, to calculate the The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to use the following formula:

Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=Overhead allocated+Direct overhead incurred

Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$4,080+$25,500

Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$29,580

The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580

Determine the payback period of the investment. 2. Would the payback period be affected if the cash inflow in the last year were several times as large

Answers

Answer:

4.5 years

No

Explanation:

The Payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amounts invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

Total investments = $-59,000 - $9,000 = $-68,000

In the first year: $-68,000 + $5,000 = $-63,000 is recovered

In the 2nd year: $-63,000 + $ 10,000 = $-53,000 is recovered

In the 3rd year: $-53,000 +  $ 20,000 = $-33,000 is recovered

In the 4th year $-33,000 + 21,000 = $-12,000

In the 5th year $-12000 + $24,000 = $12,000

The amount invested is recovered between the 4th and 5th year

4 years + $-12000 / $24,000 = 4.5years

The Payback period  would not be affected if the cash inflow in the last year were several times as large because the cash flow would have been recovered by the 5tj year.

Job 397 was recently completed. The following data have been recorded on its job cost sheet. Direct materials $59,400 Direct labor-hours 1,254 DLHs Direct labor wage rate $11 per DLH Number of units completed 3,300 units The company applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $37 per direct labor-hour. Required: What's the unit product cost that would appear on the job cost sheet for this job

Answers

Answer:

$36.24

Explanation:

The computation of unit product cost is shown below:-

Unit product cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead) ÷ Unit completed

= ($59,400 + (1254 × $11) + (1254 × $37)) ÷ 3,300

= ($59,400 + $13,794 + $46,398) ÷ 3,300

= $119,592 ÷ 3,300

= $36.24

Therefore for computing the units product cost we simply applied the above formula.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Lerner Index = -1 / Elasticity of demand = (P - MC) / P

(1) Canada:

- 1 / Ec = (21.4 - 1.20) / 21.4

- 1 / Ec = 20.2 / 21.4

- 1 / Ec = 0.9344

Ec = -1 / 0.9344

Ec = - 1.059

(2) Japan:

Lerner Index = -1 / Elasticity of demand = (P - MC) / P

- 1 / Ej = (32 - 1.2) / 32

- 1 / Ej = 30.8 / 32

- 1 / Ej = 0.9625

Ej = -1 / 0.9625

Ej = - 1.039

Warren Buffet opposes stock splits to lower the share price because he believes:________.

b. lower stock price encourages short term investing, whereas he is looking for long-term investors.
c. stock splits encourage long-term investing, which is detrimental to his firm's investment policy.
d. lower share price indicates poor growth prospects..

Answers

Answer:. b. lower stock price encourages short term investing, whereas he is looking for long-term investors.

Explanation:

Warren Buffet has stated that he does not want to split Berkshire Hathaway's stock because he believes that it would attract short term investors whereas he is looking for long term investors. He believes that a stock being split makes it susceptible to investors who just want to buy it for the meantime, wait for it to appreciate a bit and then sell. He however prefers Companies with a long term potential so he prefers people investing for the long run.

A well-known financial writer argues that he can earn 148 percent per year buying wine by the case. Specifically, he assumes that he will consume one $12 bottle of fine Bordeaux per week for the next 12 weeks. He can either pay $12 per week or buy a case of 12 bottles today. If he buys the case, he receives a 9 percent discount and, by doing so, earns the 148 percent. Assume he buys the wine and consumes the first bottle today. Calculate the EAR.

Answers

Answer:

EAR = 148%

Explanation:

calculating the EAR ( applying the formula for present value of annuity )

cost of case = 12 * 12 * ( 1 - 0.09 ) = 131.04

Pv   =  131.04

cost per case =  $12

no of weeks = 12 weeks

rate of the wine per ( IRR ) = IRR(57;56;55;;;;1)=  1.76319

rate of the wine per week = 1.76319%

therefore EAR = ( 1 + 0.0176319) ^52 - 1 = 148.15% ≈ 148%

Guarder Consulting enters into a contract with Smith Co. to restructure some of Smith's processes with a goal of cost savings. The contract states that Guarder will earn a fixed fee of $35,000 and earn an additional $10,000 bonus if Smith achieves $100,000 of cost savings. Guarder estimates a 55% chance that Smith will achieve $100,000 of cost savings. Assuming that Guarder determines the transaction price as the expected value of consideration, what transaction price will Guarder estimate for this contract

Answers

Answer:

The transaction price that Guarder will estimate for this contract is $40,500

Explanation:

In order to calculate what transaction price will Guarder estimate for this contract Assuming that Guarder determines the transaction price as the expected value of consideration, we would have to calculate the expected value of expected consideration as follows:

expected value of expected consideration=Fixed Fee + Additional Income

expected value of expected consideration=$35,000+($10,000*55%)

expected value of expected consideration=$35,000+$5,500

expected value of expected consideration=$40,500

The transaction price that Guarder will estimate for this contract is $40,500
