Answer: b. 8,101 units
Explanation:
When using the FIFO method to cost inventories, the number of equivalent units for production takes into account the beginning inventory.
It is calculated as:
= (Beginning inventory * (1 - completion rate) ) + (Units completed - Opening inventory) + (Ending inventory * Completion rate)
= (500 * ( 1 - 68%)) + (8,000 - 500) + (900 * 49%)
= 160 + 7,500 + 441
= 8,101 units

Year 2 55%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the Year 1 and Year 2 common size percentages for cost of goods sold using Net sales as the base.
Year 1
Using this formula
Common size percentage for cost of goods sold for year 1 = Cost of good sold/Net sales
Let plug in the formula
Common size percentage for cost of goods sold for year 1= 129,590/231,400
Common size percentage for cost of goods sold for year 1= 56%
Year 2
Using this formula
Common size percentage for cost of goods sold for year 2 = Cost of good sold/Net sales
Let plug in the formula
Common size percentage for cost of goods sold for year 2 = 151,900/276,200
Common size percentage for cost of goods sold for year 2 = 55%
Therefore the Year 1 and Year 2 common size percentages for cost of goods sold using Net sales as the base is :Year 1 56% and Year 2 55%
A manufacturing firm has a marketable permit that currently allows for 150 tons of emissions. However, the marketable permit is shrinkable and the firm will only be allowed 100 tons of emissions next year. The manufacturing firm projects that its optimal emissions next year will be 160 tons. It is the best interest of the manufacturing firm to purchase permits allowing for _______ tons of emissions.
Answer: 60
Explanation:
Since we are given the information that the firm will only be allowed 100 tons of emissions next year while the manufacturing firm projects that its optimal emissions next year will be 160 tons, then it will be in the best interest of the manufacturing firm to purchase permits allowing for (160 - 100) = 60 tons of emissions.
The correct answer is 60 tons of emissions.
der owns a hamburger restaurant. Slider's minimum average variable cost is $10$ 10 at a quantity of 100 hamburgers, and his minimum average total cost is $15$ 15 at a quantity of 200 hamburgers. His total fixed cost is $300$ 300 . Use this information to answer the questions. What is Slider's AVC when he sells 200 hamburgers?
Answer:
$13.50
Explanation:
Average Total Cost = Average Variable Cost + Average Fixed Cost
Average Fixed Cost = total fixed cost / quantity
300 / 200 = 1.5
15 = 1.5 + Average Variable Cost
Average Variable Cost =15 - 1.5 = 13.50
A call option on Barry Enterprises stock has a market price of $12. The stock sells for $23 a share, and the option has an exercise price of $17.50. What is the exercise value of the option
Answer:
the exercise value of the option is $5.50
Explanation:
The computation of the exercise value of the option is given below:
= Sale value of the stock - exercise price of the option
= $23 - $17.50
= $5.50
Hence, the exercise value of the option is $5.50
Simply we deduct the exercise price of the option from the sale value of the option
And, the same should be considered
A producer of fixed proportion goods X and Y (Q = Qx = Qy) has marginal costs and revenues of MC = 10 Q, MRX = 150 - 6 QX, MRy = 30 - 4 Qy. The producer should produce how many units?
a. Qx =9, Qy=9
b. Qx = 9, Qy = 7.5
c. Qx = 10, Qy = 10
d. Qx = 9, Qy=0
Answer:
a. Qx =9, Qy=9
Explanation:
As per the given data
Q = QX = QY
MRX = 150 - 6QX = 150 - 6Q
MRY = 30 - 4QY = 30 - 4Q
MC = 10Q
Now calculate the Marginal revenue as follow
MR = MRX + MRY
MR = 150 - 6Q + 30 - 4Q
MR = 150 + 30 - 6Q - 4Q
MR = 180 - 10Q
The Equilibrium of the producer will be
MR = MC
180 - 10Q = 10Q
180 = 10Q + 10Q
180 = 20Q
Q = 180 / 20
Q = 9
As we know
Q = Qx = QY
Hence, the value of Qx and QY is 9

Northberg Company is preparing a cash budget for August. The company has $16,000 cash at the beginning of August and anticipates $126,000 in cash receipts and $134,500 in cash payments during August. Northberg Company wants to maintain a minimum cash balance of $15,000. To maintain the $15,000 required balance, during August the company must: Group of answer choices Borrow $15,000. Repay $7,500. Repay $8,500. Borrow $7,500. Borrow $8,500.
Answer:
Borrow $7,500
Explanation:
The calculation of the amount that should be required to maintain the required balance is given below:
Preliminary cash balance
= Opening balance + Cash receipts - Cash disbursements
= $16,000 + $126,000 - $134,500
= $7,500
Since we have to maintain $15,000 so we have to borrow the following amount
= $15,000 - $7,500
= $7,500

Flying Cloud Co. has the following operating data for its manufacturing operations:
Unit selling price $ 350
Unit variable cost $ 100
Total fixed costs $980,000
The company has decided to increase the wages of hourly workers which will increase the unit variable cost by 10%. Increases in the salaries of factory supervisors and property taxes for the factory will increase fixed costs by 5%. If sales prices are held constant, the next break-even point for Flying Cloud Co. will be:__________
a) increased by 368 units
b) decreased by 368 units
c) increased by 132 units
d) decreased by 264 units
Answer:
a) increased by 368 units
Explanation:
The calculation of the next break even point should be
Existing break-even point for Flying Cloud Co. is
= Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Per Unit
= Fixed Cost ÷ Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit
= $980,000 ÷ ( $350 - $100)
= 3,920 Units
Now
Revised Variable cost = $100 × 110%
= $110
And,
Revised Fixed cost = $980,000 × 105%
= $1,029,000
So,
Revised break-even point for Flying Cloud Co. is
= Fixed Cost ÷ ( Contribution Margin Per Unit
= Fixed Cost ÷ ( Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit
= $1,029,000 ÷ ( ( $350 -$110)
= 4,287.5
= 4,288 units
So,
Increase = 4,288 Units - 3920 Units
= 368 Units Increase

= $1,850 billion
K. Johnson, Inc.'s managers want to evaluate the firm's prior-year performance in terms of its contribution to shareholder value. This past year, the firm earned an operating income return on investment of 12 percent, compared to an industry norm of 11 percent. It has been estimated that the firm's investors have an opportunity cost on their funds of 15 percent, which is the same as the firm's overall cost of capital. The firm's total assets for the year were exist100 million.
Required:
a. Compute the amount of economic value created or destroyed by the firm.
b. How does your finding support or fail to support what you would conclude using ratio analysis to evaluate the firm's performance?
Answer:
-3 million dollars
Explanation:
we have EVA = economic value added
to ge the EVA, we use this formula :
(operating return on the assets - cost of the total capital) multiplied by the total assets
total assets = 100 million
operating return = 12 percent
cost of capital = 15 percent
the EVA = 12% - 15% * 100000000
= -0.03 * 100000000
= -3,000,000 dollars
b. The loss of the value of the shareholder is happening even though the firm is earning ROI that is more than the average firm in the industry.
Tobias has a brokerage account and buys on the margin, which resulted in an interest expense of $52,000 during the year. Income generated through the brokerage account was as follows: Municipal interest $104,000 Taxable dividends and interest 520,000 If required, round any division to two decimal places and use in subsequent computations. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar. How much investment interest can Tobias deduct
Answer: $43,160
Explanation:
The amount of investment interest that can be deducted is:
= Interest expense * Proportion of total income that is taxable
Municipal interest is not taxable so the proportion of total income that is taxable is:
= Taxable dividends and interest / Total income
= 520,000 / (520,000 + 104,000)
= 0.83
Amount of investment interest that is deductible:
= 52,000 * 0.83
= $43,160
Sheridan Industries reported actual sales of $2,125,000 and fixed costs of $562,275. The contribution margin ratio is 30%. Compute the margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio. (Round margin of safety ratio to 1 decimal place, e.g. 52.7.)
Answer:
Margin of safety $250,750
Margin of safety ratio 11.8%
Explanation:
Computation for the margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio
First step is calculate the Break even point in dollars
Break even point in dollars = Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
Break even point in dollars=$562,275/0.30
Break even point in dollars = $1,874,250
Now let determine the the margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio
Margin of safety = Actual Sales - Break even sales
Margin of safety= $2,125,000 -$1,874,250
Margin of safety=$250,750
Margin of safety ratio= Margin of safety/Actual Sales
Margin of safety ratio = $250,750/$2,125,000
Margin of safety ratio = 0.118*100
Margin of safety ratio = 11.8%
Thereforethe margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio will be:
Margin of safety $250,750
Margin of safety ratio 11.8%

Based on a predicted level of production and sales of 30,000 units, a company anticipates total contribution margin of $105,000, fixed costs of $40,000, and operating income of $65,000. Based on this information, the budgeted operating income for 28,000 units would be
Answer: $58,000
Explanation:
Operating income for 28,000 units = Contribution margin for 28,000 units - Fixed costs
Contribution margin for 28,000 units:
= 28,000 units * Contribution margin of 30,000 units / 30,000 units
= 28,000 * 105,000 / 30,000
= $98,000 units
Operating income for 28,000 units = 98,000 - 40,000
= $58,000

The records of the Dodge Corporation show the following results for the most recent year:
Sales (16,000 units) $256,000
Variable expenses $160,000
Net operating income $32,000
Given the provided data, identify the contribution margin.
Answer:
unitary contribution margin= $6
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales (16,000 units) $256,000
Variable expenses $160,000
First, we need to calculate the unitary selling price and unitary variable cost:
Selling price= 256,000 / 16,000= $16
Unitary variable cost= 160,000 / 16,000= $10
Now, the unitary contribution margin:
unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
unitary contribution margin= 16 - 10
unitary contribution margin= $6

The following is an account for a production department, showing its costs for one month: Work in Process Inventory Beginning Balance5,400Completed and transferred out49,410 Direct materials21,600 Direct labor16,200 Overhead10,800 Ending Balance4,590 Assume that materials are added at the beginning of the production process and that direct labor and overhead are applied uniformly. If the started and completed units cost $41,850, what was the cost of completing the units in the beginning Work in Process inventory
Answer:
$2,160
Explanation:
Total costs = Beginning Balance + Direct materials + Direct labor+ Overhead
Total costs = $5,400 + $21,600 + 16,200 + $10,800
Total costs = $54,000
Total transferred out = Total costs - Ending Balance
Total transferred out = $54,000 - $4,590
Total transferred out = $49,410
BGIP transferred out = Total transferred out - Assumed started and completed units cost
BGIP transferred out = $49,410 - $41,850
BGIP transferred out = $7,560
Cost to complete BGIP = BGIP transferred out - Beginning Balance
Cost to complete BGIP = $7,560 - $5,400
Cost to complete BGIP = $2,160
