Answer: a. $295.81.
Explanation:
Using the value basis would mean that the product's share of the total market value will be used to determine it's share of the cost.
Total Market Value = Product L Market Value + Product M Market Value
= (310 lbs * 10.2) + ( 260 lbs * 20.4)
= 3,162 + 5,304
= $8,466
Product L's share of total market value
= 3,162/8,466
Product L's share of the $792 based on share of total market value
= (3,162/8,466) * 792
= $295.8072
= $295.81
Just how strong the competitive pressures are from substitute products depends on: Select one: a. Whether the available substitutes are products or services b. The speed with which buyer needs and expectations are changing c. Whether attractively priced substitutes are readily available and the ease with which buyers can switch to substitutes d. Whether the producers of substitutes have ample budgets for new product R
Answer: c. Whether attractively priced substitutes are readily available and the ease with which buyers can switch to substitutes
Explanation:
Substitute products are the product that can be used in place of another identical product e.g butter and margarine.
Just how strong the competitive pressures are from substitute products depends on whether attractively priced substitutes are readily available and the ease with which buyers can switch to substitutes.
Ultimate Sportswear has $150,000 of 8% non-cumulative, non-participating, preferred stock outstanding. Ultimate Sportswear also has $550,000 of common stock outstanding. In the company's first year of operation, no dividends were paid. During the second year, the company paid cash dividends of $35,000. This dividend should be distributed as follows:
a. $8,750 preferred: $26,250 common.
b. $0 preferred: $35,000 common.
c. $12.000 preferred: $23.000 common.
d. $19.000 preferred: $16.000 common
e. $17,500 preferred; $17,500 соmmоn.
Answer:
c. $12,000 preferred: $23,000 common
Explanation:
Calculation of how the Dividend should be distributed
First step is to calculate for preferred stock outstanding
Preferred stock outstanding=$150,000 * 8% non-cumulative
Preferred stock outstanding=$12,000
Second step is to calculate for common stock outstanding
Using this formula
Common stock outstanding = Cash Dividend-Preferred stock outstanding
Let plug in the formula
Common stock outstanding=$35,000-$12,000
Common stock outstanding=$23,000
Therefore Preferred stock outstanding will be $12,000 while Common stock outstanding will be $23,000

Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00% The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years. Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below: Year Sales volume (units) Unit selling price Year 1 40,000 $80.00 Year 2 50,000 $75.00 Year 3 35,000 $50.00 Year 4 25,000 $45.00 What is the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model
Answer:
Allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model = 52.4
Explanation:
Given that:
Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years.
Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00%
The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years
Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below:
Year Sales volume (units) Unit selling price
Year 1 40,000 $80.00
Year 2 50,000 $75.00
Year 3 35,000 $50.00
Year 4 25,000 $45.00
The objective is to determine the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model.
The Cost for each unit selling price can be calculated as:
= unit selling price - (Target average profit margin × unit selling price)
For Year 1
= $80.00- (0.2 × $80.00)
= $80.00 - $16.00
= $64.00
For Year 2
= $75.00 - ( 0.2 × $75.00)
= $75.00 - ( $15.00)
= $60.00
Year 3
= $50.00 - (0.2× $50.00)
= $50.00 - $10.00
= $40.00
Year 4
= $45.00 - (0.2 × $45.00)
=$45.00 - $9.00
= $36.00
Year Sales volume Unit Cost Cost per Unit
(units) selling price
Year 1 40,000 $80.00 $64.00 $2560000
Year 2 50,000 $75.00 $60.00 $3000000
Year 3 35,000 $50.00 $40.00 $1400000
Year 4 25,000 $45.00 $36.00 $900000
Total: 150000 $7860000
Allowable unit cost = Total cost/Total number of unit cost
Allowable unit cost = $7860000/150000
Allowable unit cost = 52.4
Assume that the current ratio for Arch Company is 2.5, its acid-test ratio is 2.0, and its working capital is $390,000. Answer each of the following questions independently, always referring to the original information. Required: a. How much does the firm have in current liabilities? (Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Current liabilities = 260,000
Explanation:
Given:
Current ratio = 2.5
Working capital = $390,000
Find:
Current liabilities
Computation:
Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
$390,000 = Current assets - Current liabilities
Current assets = Current liabilities + $390,000
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
2.5 = [Current liabilities + $390,000] / Current liabilities
2.5 Current liabilities = Current liabilities + $390,000
Current liabilities = 260,000

Keyser Corporation, which has only one product, has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $ 118 Units in beginning inventory 400 Units produced 2,100 Units sold 2,300 Units in ending inventory 200 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 37 Direct labor $ 23 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 5 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 73,500 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 29,900 The company produces the same number of units every month, although the sales in units vary from month to month. The company's variable costs per unit and total fixed costs have been constant from month to month. What is the net operating income for the month under variable costing?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price $118
Units sold 2,300
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $37
Direct labor $23
Variable manufacturing overhead $3
Variable selling and administrative expense $5
First, we need to determine the total unitary variable cost:
Unitary variable cost= 37 + 23 + 3 + 5=$68
Variable cost income statement:
Sales= 2,300*118= 271,400
Total variable cost= 68*2,300= (156,400)
Total contribution margin= 115,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead= (73,500)
Fixed selling and administrative expense= (29,900)
Net operating income= 11,600
Window Dressing causes which kind of entry (may have more than one answer)? Multiple Choice Transaction Adjusting Closing
Answer:
Window Dressing causes Adjusting and Closing entries.
Explanation:
Window Dressing the alteration of financial performance near the year-end to appear as if performance has improved. To make the window dressing entry, some temporary and permanent accounts will be adjusted, especially Sales Revenue and costs to generate paper profits. These adjusting entries are closed to the Income Summary. The permanent accounts which are temporarily closed to the Balance Sheet for the period will also require some adjusting entries.
if the fixed cost for the Job Shop were changed to $305,000, what would the new break-even point in numbers of units
Answer:
The question you have provided is missing important information needed for the calculation of break even point.
However step by step approach for the calculation of the break even point is given below :
Understand what break even point is :
Break even point is the level of operation where a Company neither makes a profit nor a loss.
Break even point in units calculation :
Break even point in units calculation = Fixed Costs for the Period ÷ Contribution per unit
Where, Contribution per unit = Selling Price per Unit less Variable Cost (Manufacturing and Non Manufacturing) per unit
Conclusion :
At Break Even Point level,Total Contribution will equal Total Fixed Cost (thus no profit nor loss)
The only data the question provided is :
Fixec Cost - $305,000
Potential output: $8 trillion Actual output: $6 trillion Actual Deficit: $ 400 billion Tax Rate: 15% What is the structural deficit in 2010
Answer:
The structural budget in 2010 is $100 billion
Explanation:
Actual deficit = Government spending - Tax Revenue Collection
i.e Actual deficit = G-T
T = (Tax rate) (Actual output)
$400 billion = G - (0.15)($6000 billion)
$400 billion = G - $900 billion
G = $400 billion + $900 billion
G = $1300 billion
Thus, Government spending is $1300 billion
Structural deficit = G - T'
T' = (Tax rate)(Potential output)
T' = (0.15)(8000 billion)
T' = $1200 billion
Structural deficit = G - T'
Structural deficit = $1300 billion - $1200 billion
Structural deficit = $100 billion
Thus, the structural budget in 2010 is $100 billion
Endor Company begins the year with $110,000 of goods in inventory. At year-end, the amount in inventory has increased to $118,000. Cost of goods sold for the year is $1,300,000. Compute Endor’s inventory turnover and days’ sales in inventory. Assume that there are 365 days in the year
Answer:
11.40
32 days
Explanation:
Inventory turnover and days of sales of inventory are examples of activity ratios.
They are used to measure the efficiency of performing daily tasks
inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/ average inventory
Average inventory = ($118,000 + $110,000) / 2 = $114,000
Inventory turnover = $1,300,000 / $114,000 = 11.40
days of sales of inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 365 / 11.40 = 32 days

b. historically there has been asset deflation and now there is asset inflation.
c. during the financial crisis of 2008 there was asset deflation which can lead to overall deflation.
d. during the financial crisis of 2008 there was asset deflation
Answer:
c. during the financial crisis of 2008 there was asset deflation which can lead to overall deflation.
Explanation:
Unexpectedly, during the 2008 financial crises that had a firm grip on the US economy. Economist observed a trend of asset deflation.
For example, the real estate sector saw a reduction in the general level of prices homes in the economy. Thus, this meant that a too low inflation would lead to overall deflation, and it was a concern for policy makers.
ignoring taxes what is the effect on earnings in the year after the shares are granted to executives
Answer: C. $40 million.
Explanation:
By granting them 15 million shares subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within three years, the company is compensating them.
The total amount that they will be compensated with has to be apportioned over the 3 years as an expense that will reduce earnings per year.
Total compensation = No. of shares * fair value of shares
= 15,000,000 * 8
= $120,000,000
Apportioned over 3 years;
= 120,000,000/3
= $40,000,000

Answer: $18,848
Explanation:
The Net Present Value of a project is the difference between the present values of the cash outflows and inflows.
Present Values of the Cash flows;
Year 1
= 150,000 * 0.893
= $133,950
Year 2
= 130,000 * 0.797
= $103,610
Year 3
=104,000 * 0.712
= $74,048
Year 4
= 90,000 * 0.636
= $57,240
Net Present Value = Cash inflows - Outflow
= 133,950 +103,610 + 74,048 + 57,240 - 350,000
= $18,848

Rather than crediting the Unearned rent account for $400 of prepaid rent received from a customer, which explains an alternate recording procedure to journalize this receipt?
Answer:
Record receipt with a credit to the rent revenue account
Any unused portion of the prepayment still existing at the end of the period will be transferred to the Unearned rent account
Explanation:
Prepaid rent is an income that is to be earned at a future date. Since income is normally recorded as a revenue when it is earned, we usually credit Unearned Rent account.
However financial statements are made at end of a defined period (for example monthly, quarterly, biannually, or yearly).
The journal entry can be credited to the Rent Revenue account directly. At the end of the period the amount earned is retained in the account, and the unearned portion of the prepaid rent is transferred to the Unearned Rent account.
So financial statements will only recognise earned income when prepared.
Connie recently provided legal services to the Winterhaven LLC and received a 5 percent interest in the LLC as compensation. Winterhaven currently has $43,000 of accounts payable and no other debt. The current fair market value of Winterhaven’s capital is $270,000. (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)
a. If Connie receives a 5 percent capital interest only, how much income must she report and what is her tax basis in the LLC interest?
Income ______
Tax Basis ______
b. If Connie receives a 5 percent profits interest only, how much income must she report and what is her tax basis in the LLC interest?
Income ______
Tax Basis ______
c. If Connie receives a 5 percent capital and profits interest, how much income must she report and what is her tax basis in the LLC interest?
Income ______
Tax Basis ______
Answer and Explanation:
a. Connie registers $13,500 of ordinary revenue or 5% of the LLC's $270,000 property. Her LLC investment base is $13,500 as well.
b. Connie does not disclose any profits but will have an interest rate equal to her share of the LLC 's debt in the LLC. Since debt from the LLC is a non-recourse loan, it needs to be distributed to her through interest on earnings from Connie. Therefore her investment in the LLC is equivalent to $2,150 or 5% of the $43,000 accounts payable by the LLC.
c. Connie reports $13,500 of ordinary revenue or 5 percent of the $270,000 capital of the LLC. Her LLC interest base is $13,500, too. Her base in the LLC is $15,650 consists of the $13,500 benefit she accepts for earning her capital gain and her $2,150 non-recourse tax payable from the LLC.
good is excludable if: a. it is Wi-Fi or a similar service. b. people who do not pay cannot be easily prevented from using the good. c. one person's use of the good does not reduce the ability of another person to use the same good. d. people who do not pay can be easily prevented from using the good.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
people who do not pay can be easily prevented from using the good. (d)
Explanation:
Excludable goods or services are those to which the consumer cannot have access unless payment of some form is made. By contrast, a non-excludable good or service is one to which the consumer cannot be prevented from using even without payment. Excludable goods can be further divided into rivalrous and non-rivalrous.
A rivalrous excludable good or service is one in which usage by a consumer or usage by one party prevents or reduces significantly, its use by another consumer or party examples are goods such as clothes, food, cars etc, while non-rivalrous excludable goods/services include tv subscriptions, cinemas, etc.
n January 1, 1987, three 100 par value bonds with 6% annual coupons will mature at the end of 1, 2, and 3 years, respectively. The redemption value of each bond is 100. You are given that the prices for these bonds on January 1, 1987 are: Maturity Date Price December 31, 1987 101.92 December 31, 1988 102.84 December 31, 1989 105.51 These prices are based on an interest rate of i in 1987, j in 1988, and k in 1989. Determine j.
Answer:
j = 4.52%
Explanation:
face value = $100, with 6% annual coupons
bond₁ matures in 1 year (December 31, 1987), market price $101.92
bond₂ matures in 2 years (December 31, 1988), market price $102.84
bond₃ matures in 3 years (December 31, 1989), market price $105.51
we must determine the market interest rate (j) for bond₂, and to do this we will use the approximate yield to maturity formula:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market price)/n]} / [(face value + market price)/2]
YTM = {6 + [(100 - 102.84)/2]} / [(100 + 102.84)/2] = 4.58 / 101.42 = 0.045158 = 4.52%
Since the bonds are sold at a premium, it means that the coupon rate is higher than the market rate.
A stock had returns of 9.62 percent, −14.65 percent, 19.85 percent, 25.35 percent, and 7.65 percent over the past five years. What was the geometric average return for this stock?
Answer:
The geometric average return for this stock was 8.64%.
Explanation:
Geometric average return refers to the return which will result in the correct compounded dollars at the end of the time period.
Geometric average return can be computed using the following formula:
Geometric average return = {[(1 + r1)(1 + r2) ... (1 + rn)]^(1/n)} - 1 ......... (1)
Where r is returns from year 1 to year n.
For the stock in the question, we have:
r1 = 9.62%, 0.0962
r2 = -14.65%, or -0.1465
r3 = 19.85%, or 0.1985
r4 = 25.35%, or 0.2535
r5 = 7.65%, or 0.0765
n = 5
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Geometric average return = {[(1 + 0.0962)(1 - 0.1465)(1 + 0.1985)(1 + 0.2535)(1 + 0.0765)]^(1/5)} - 1
Geometric average return = {1.51310732605096^0.20} - 1
Geometric average return = 0.0864, or 8.64%
Therefore, the geometric average return for this stock was 8.64%.
A computer maintenance company wants to 'capture' the knowledge that employees carry around in their heads by creating a database where employees document their solutions to unusual maintenance problems. This practice tries to:
Answer: Transfer human capital to structural capital
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that computer maintenance company wants to 'capture' the knowledge that employees carry around in their heads by creating a database where employees document their solutions to unusual maintenance problems.
This shows that the company is transferring human capital to structural capital. Human capital has to do with the skills and experiences that workers have.
Suppose Cho is considering emigrating from her home country.A fictional country of Flaxon has the same policies and institutions as Cho's home country, except that it has greater price stability. If Cho's decision to emigrate is based solely on the prospects for economic growth, she would
Answer: Migrate to Flaxon
Explanation:
If Flaxon country has the same policies and institutions as Cho's home country but also has greater price stability, Cho would emigrate if she wanted more economic growth because Price stability contributes to the growth of the economy.
Price stability means that the country is not going to experience inflation (deflation) that is too high (low) and lasts too long as well as one that is erratic.
This benefits the economy because;
Savings will not be easily eroded by inflation.Decisions can be made easier as inflation rates can be better predictable. For instance, people can save or invest at a particular rate that they know will bring them real return as it will be over the inflation rate. Unexpected deflation will not cause companies to make losses which can increase unemployment and company shutdowns and,Financial institutions can borrow out loans at more stable rates for investments because in a less stable market they would have to charge higher rates to ensure that they do not make losses should inflation change. These stable rates will attract companies and individuals who will use the funds for investment and improve the economy.Kelley Company reports $1,250,000 of net income for 2017 and declares $175,000 of cash dividends on its preferred stock for 2017. At the end of 2017, the company had 380,000 weighted-average shares of common stock. 1. What amount of net income is available to common stockholders for 2017
Answer:
Net income available to common stockholders is $1,075,000
Explanation:
Net Income $1,250,000
To Preferred Shareholders $175,000
Net income available to $1,075,000
common stockholders
Basic earnings per share = Net income available to common stockholders / weighted average shares of common stock

To calculate the required rate of return for the project, we must first calculate the required rate of return for the firm's equity. The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM or Capital Asset Pricing Model equation. The formula for required rate of return (r) under this model is,
r = rRf + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketr = 0.027 + 1.23 * 0.069
r = 0.11187 or 11.187%
