Consider the following information for the manufacturing cell of Stripes Company: Maximum units produced in a quarter 250,000 units Actual units produced in a quarter 200,000 units Productive hours in a quarter 50,000 hours Compute the theoretical velocity and the actual velocity in units per hour.
Answer: Theoretical velocity = 5 units per hour.
Actual velocity = 4 units per hour.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the theoretical velocity will be:
Firstly, we'll calculate the theoretical cycle time which will be:
= (50,000 hours x 60 minutes per hour) / 250,000 units
= 12 minutes per unit
Actual cycle time will be:
= (50,000 hours x 60 minutes per hour) / 200,000 units
= 15 minutes per unit
The theoretical velocity:
= 60 minutes / 12 minutes
= 5 units per hour.
2. The e actual velocity in units per hour:
= 60 minutes per hour / 15 minutes per unit
= 4 units per hour

Chicotti Company has 6,000 units in beginning work in process, 30% complete as to conversion costs, 75,000 units transferred out to finished goods, and 2,000 units in ending work in process 20% complete as to conversion costs. The beginning and ending inventory is fully complete as to materials costs. How much are equivalent units for materials if the FIFO method is used
Answer:
71,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much are equivalent units for materials if the FIFO method is used
Using this formula
Equivalent units for materials=(Units transferred out to Finished goods + Units in ending work in process – Units in beginning work in process)
Let plug in the formula
Equivalent units for materials=75,000 + 2,000 – 6,000
Equivalent units for materials= 71,000
Therefore the equivalent units for materials if the FIFO method is used will be 71,000
If the return on stock A in year 1 was 6 %, in year 2 was 3 %, in year 3 was 18 % and in year 4 was 3 %, what was the standard deviation of returns for stock A over this four year period? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place and record without a percent sign. If your final answer is negative, place a minus sign before the number with no space between the sign and the number).
Answer:
12.4
Explanation:
We need to,first of all, determine the arithmetic average return of all the returns, which is the sum of the returns divided by the number of returns
average return=(6%+3%+18%+3%)/4
average return=7.50%
Years return (return-average return) (return-average return)^2
1 6.00% -1.50% 0.022500%
2 3.00% -4.50% 0.202500%
3 18.00% 10.50% 1.102500%
4 3.00% -4.50% 0.202500%
average return 7.50% variance 1.530000%
standard deviation=variance^(1/2) 12.4%
Bialy Company had the following information: Total sales $120,000 Total variable cost 48,000 Operating income 12,000 What is the breakeven sales revenue
Answer:
$100,000
Explanation:
The breakeven sales revenue is the annual fixed cost divided by the contribution margin ratio of the product, which is the amount of sales revenue that the Bialy company needs to achieve in order to make a zero profit.
operating income=sales revenue-variable cost-fixed cost
operating income=$12,000
sales revenue=$120,0000
variable cost=$48,000
fixed cost=unknown
$12,000=$120,000-$48,000-fixed cost
fixed cost=$120,000-$48,000-$12,000
fixed cost=$60,000
total contribution=sales revenue-variable cost
total contribution=$120,000-$48,000
total contribution=$72,000
contribution margin ratio=total contribution margin/sales revenue
contribution margin ratio=$72,000/$120,000
contribution margin ratio=60%
breakeven sales revenue=$60,000/60%
breakeven sales revenue=$100,000
Hettrick International Corporation's only product sells for $120.00 per unit and its variable expense is $52.80. The company's monthly fixed expense is $396,480 per month. The unit sales to attain the company's monthly target profit of $13,000 is closest to
Answer:
Number of units to be sold= 6,093
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $120
Unitary variable cost= $52.8
Fixed cost= $396,480
Desired profit= $13,000
To calculate the number of units to obtain the desired profit, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (396,480 + 13,000) / (120 - 52.8)
Break-even point in units= 6,093.4 = 6,093
Firm A has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, and Firm Z has a 28 percent marginal tax rate. Firm A owns a controlling interest in Firm Z. The owners of Firm A decide to incur a $9,500 deductible expense that will benefit both firms.
Required:
Compute the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that:
a. Firm A incurs the expense
b. Firm Z incurs the expense
Answer:
a. $7,505
b.$6,840
Explanation:
a. Computation for the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm A incurs the expense
Using this formula
After-tax cost = Deductible Expense - (Firm A Marginal tax rate* Deductible Expense)
Let plug in the formula
After-tax cost = ($9,500 - ($21%*9500)
After-tax cost = ($9,500 - $1,995)
After-tax cost=$7,505
Therefore the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm A incurs the expense is $7,505
B. Computation for the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm Z incurs the expense
Using this formula
After-tax cost = Deductible Expense - (Firm Z Marginal tax rate*Deductible Expense)
Let plug in the formula
After-tax cost =$9,500 -(28%*$9500)
After-tax cost =($9,500 - $2,660 )
After-tax cost=$6,840
Therefore the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm Z incurs the expense is $6,840
Wasilko Corporation produces and sells one product The budgeted selling price per unit is $114. Budgeted unit sales for February is 9,900 units. Each unit of finished goods requires 6 pounds of raw materials. The raw materials cost $4.00 per pound. The direct labor wage rate is $24.00 per hour. Each unit of finished goods requires 2.4 direct labor-hours. Manufacturing overhead is entirely variable and is $9.00 per direct labor-hour. The variable selling and administrative expense per unit sold is $1.60. The fixed selling and administrative expense per month is $70,000. The estimated net operating income (loss) for February is closest to:
Answer: $21,080
Explanation:
First calculate the contribution margin per unit
= Sales - Variable costs
= Selling price - Raw materials - Direct labor cost - Manufacturing overhead - Variable selling and administrative expense
= 114 - (6 * 4) - (2.4 * 24) - (9 * 2.4) - 1.60
= $9.20
The Contribution margin is:
= 9.20 * 9,900 units
= $91,080
Net operating income = Contribution margin - fixed cost
= 91,080 - 70,000
= $21,080

Your grandfather put some money in an account for you on the day you were born. You are now years old and are allowed to withdraw the money for the first time. The account currently has in it and pays an interest rate.
Required:
a. How much money would be in the account if you left the money there until your twenty-fifth birthday?
b. What if you left the money until your sixty-fifth birthday?
c. How much money did your grandfather originally put in the account?
Answer:
Missing word "You are now 18 years old and are allowed to withdraw the money for the first time. The account currently has $3996 in it and pays an 8% interest rate."
a. At 18 years, future value of current amount (compounded for another 7 years at 8%)
= $3,996 * (1.08)^7
= $3,996 * 1.7138
= $6,848.34
b. At age 65, future value of this amount (compounded for another 40 years at 8%)
= $6,848.44 * (1.08)^40
= $6,848.44 * 21.7245
= $148,779.93
c. Future Value = Present Value * (1 + Interest Rate)^n
So, let initial the money deposited be represented by Y
=> $3,996 = Y * (1.08)^18
=> $3,996 = Y * 3.996
Y = $3,996 / 3.996
Y = $1,000
Faughn Corporation has provided the following data concerning manufacturing overhead for July:
Actual manufacturing overhead incurred $ 79,000
Manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process $ 69,000
The company's Cost of Goods Sold was $243,000 prior to closing out its Manufacturing Overhead account. The company closes out its Manufacturing Overhead account to Cost of Goods Sold. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $233,000
B. Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $233,000
C. Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000
D. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000
Answer: D. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000
Explanation:
The Manufacturing overhead applied is less than the actual manufacturing overhead incurred by:
= 79,000 - 69,000
= $10,000
Manufacturing overhead is therefore underapplied as the amount applied is too low to cover the amount incurred.
The Cost of Goods sold after closing out is:
= Cost of goods sold before closing out + Underapplied manufacturing overhead
= 243,000 + 10,000
= $253,000

The country of Bolivia had a Gross Domestic Product of $79 billion in 2016 and a population of 11 million people, the GDP per capita would be ________.
Answer:
The GDP per capita of country of Bolivia would be $7,181.82.
Explanation:
GDP Per capita refers to a measure that calculates a country's economic output per person by dividing its GDP by its population.
Therefore, we have:
GDP per capita = GDP / Population = $79 billion / 11 million = $79,000,000,000 / $11,000,000 = $7,181.82
Therefore, the GDP per capita of country of Bolivia would be $7,181.82.

g Find the monthly payment and estimate the remaining balance (to the nearest dollar). Assume interest is on the unpaid balance. 5-year car loan for $9700 at 5%; remaining balance after 4 years.
Answer:
Monthly payment $102.88
Outstanding balance after year 4 $1,201.76
Explanation:
First and foremost, the car loan amount of $9,700 is the present value of all monthly payments for 5 years as shown below:
PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
PV=car loan amount=$9,700
monthly payment=unknown
r=monthly interest rate=5%/12=0.004166667
n=number of monthly payments in 5 years=5*12=60
$9700=monthly payment*(1-(1+0.004166667)^-120/0.004166667
$9700=monthly payment*(1-(1.004166667)^-120/0.004166667
$9700=monthly payment*(1-0.607161016 )/0.004166667
$9700=monthly payment*0.392838984 /0.004166667
$9700=monthly payment*94.28134862
monthly payment=$9700/94.28134862
monthly payment=$102.88
The outstanding balance after year 4 is the present value of monthly payments for the remaining 1 year(12 months)
PV=$102.88*(1-(1+0.004166667)^-12/0.004166667
PV=$102.88*(1-(1.004166667)^-12/0.004166667
PV=$102.88*(1-0.951328238 )/0.004166667
PV=$102.88*0.048671762 /0.004166667

Answer:
Job-Order Costing versus Process Costing
Types of businesses using job order costing:
a. Hospital services
b. Custom cabinet making
e. Airplane manufacturing (e.g., 767s)
h. Custom furniture making
i. Dental services
l. Auto repair
m. Architectural services
n. Landscape design services
Types of businesses using processing costing:
c. Toy manufacturing
d. Soft-drink bottling
f. Personal computer assembly
g. Furniture making (e.g., computer desks sold at discount stores)
j. Paper manufacturing
k. Nut and bolt manufacturing
o. Flashlight manufacturing
Explanation:
In job order costing, the manufacturer tracks its prime costs to individual products or jobs. This means that the costs of each job can be computed separately because costs are traced to each job. Under process costing, the prime costs are tracked to the department, process or batch, and not to individual products or jobs.
Investing $2,000,000 in TQM's Channel Support Systems initiative will at a minimum increase demand for your products 3.0% in this and in all future rounds. Looking at the Round 0 Inquirer for Andrews, last year's sales were $163,189,230. Assuming similar sales next year, the 3.0% increase in demand will provide $4,895,677 of additional revenue. With the overall contribution margin of 34.1%, after direct costs this revenue will add $1,669,426 to the bottom line. For simplicity, assume that the demand increase and margins will remain at last year's levels. How long will it take to achieve payback on the initial $2,000,000 TQM investment, rounded to the nearest
Answer:
the payback period is 14 months
Explanation:
The computation of the payback period is shown below:
Profit is
= $2,000,000 - $1,669,426
= $330,574
Now payback period is
= 1 + $330,574 ÷ $1,669,426
= 1 +0.198 years
= 1.198 years
= 14.37 months
= 14 months
Hence, the payback period is 14 months

Which of the following is a major difference between a budget constraint and production possibilities frontier?
a. A production possibilities frontier conveys the relative prices of the two goods, whereas a budget constraint accounts for diminishing returns.
b. A production possibilities frontier is usually straight, whereas a budget constraint is typically curved.
c. A budget constraint typically has a constant slope, whereas the slope of a production possibilities frontier is usually different at various points.
d. There is no difference. They convey the same information.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.
The PPF is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.
So, the PPF exhibits diminishing return. The slope of the PPF is different at different points. this makes the PPF a curve
the budget constraint is a straight line that shows the various combinations of goods a consumer can consume given her income. the budget constraint is a straight line because the slope is constant at each point on the curve
Also, the slope of the budget constraint is the relative prices of the two goods
Concord Company has recently tried to improve its analysis for its manufacturing process. Units started into production equaled 18900 and ending work in process equaled 1000 units. Concord had no beginning work in process inventory. Conversion costs are applied uniformly throughout production, and all materials are applied at the beginning of the process. How much is the materials cost per unit if ending work in process was 30% complete and total materials costs equaled $86940
Answer:
the material cost per unit is $4.60 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the material cost per unit is shown below:
= Total material cost ÷ equivalent units of material
= $86,940 ÷ (18,900 - 1,000) × 100% + 1,000 × 100%
= $86,940 ÷ (17,900 + 1,000)
= $86,940 ÷ 18,900
= $4.60 per unit
Hence, the material cost per unit is $4.60 per unit

If the ABC Company has three lots of products for sale, purchase 1 (earliest) for $20, purchase 2 (middle) for $15 and purchase 3 (latest) for $25, which cost would be assumed to be sold first using FIFO costing
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase 1 (earliest) for $20
Purchase 2 (middle) for $15
Purchase 3 (latest) for $25
The FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, allocates costs to the cost of goods sold using the purchase price of the firsts units incorporated into inventory. On the contrary, the ending inventory cost is calculated with the costs of the lasts units incorporated.
Assume that the company sells the number of units equivalent to the first lot. Then, the cost of goods sold will be $20; and the ending inventory $40 (15+25).
If a company spends $80 million to build facility space sufficient to hold 5 million pairs of footwear-making equipment at a site in Latin America, then the company's annual depreciation costs for this facility space will be
Answer: $8,000,000
Explanation:
From the question given, the cost of the building facility is $80 million. Also, it should be noted that the default rate for depreciation is given as 10%, therefore, the company's annual depreciation costs for this facility space will be:
= Depreciation rate × Cost of building
= 10% × $80,000,000
= 0.1 × $80,000,000
= $8,000,000
The current asset section of the Excalibur Tire Company’s balance sheet consists of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and inventory. The December 31, 2021, balance sheet revealed the following:
Inventories $840,000
Total assets $2,800,000
Current ratio 2.25
Acid-test ratio 1.2
Debt to equity ratio 1.8
Determine the following 2021 balance sheet items:
a. Current assets
b. Shareholders' equity
c. Noncurrent assets
d. Long-term liabilities
Answer:
a. Current assets = $1,800,000
b. Shareholders' equity = $1,000,000
c. Noncurrent assets = $1,000,000
d. Long-term liabilities = $1,000,000
Explanation:
a. Current assets
Current liabilities = Inventories / (Current ratio - Acid-test ratio) = $840,000 / (2.25 - 1.2) = $800,000
Since Current assets / Current liabilities = 2.25 = Current ratio, therefore, we have:
Current assets = Current ratio * Current liabilities = 2.25 * $800,000 = $1,800,000
b. Shareholders' equity
Debt to equity ratio = Total liabilities / Shareholders' equity = 1.8
Total liabilities = (1.8 * Shareholders' equity)
Total assets = $2,800,000
Total assets = Total liabilities + Shareholders' equity ………….. (1)
Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for Shareholders' equity, we have:
$2,800,000 = (1.8 * Shareholders' equity) + Shareholders' equity
$2,800,000 = (1.8 + 1) * Shareholders' equity
$2,800,000 = 2.8 * Shareholders' equity
Shareholders' equity = $2,800,000 / 2.8 = $1,000,000
c. Noncurrent assets
Noncurrent assets = Total assets - Current assets = $2,800,000 - $1,800,000 = $1,000,000
d. Long-term liabilities
Long-term liabilities = Total assets - Current liabilities - Shareholders' equity = $2,800,000 - $800,000 - $1,000,000 = $1,000,000
