The two products are better sold at it is without further processing.
As no other cost is involved in the processing or selling and the initial selling price is greater than the incremental contribution , it is advisable that they are sold as they are
i. Discuss the rationale of organizing an industrial strike in resolving employee dispute with the
state, focusing on the detrimental effects strikes has on various stakeholders in an economy.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
Strike action, is a work stoppage, that is caused by mass refusal of employees to work and it usually takes place in response to the employee grievances.
Some of the reasons for strike include:
• Low wages: Employees engage in strik as a way to show their grievances to their employers that they're not well paid and want a pay rise.
• Poor communication with the organisation: Another reason for strikes is the lack of trust between employers and the trade unions. In cases whereby workers believe their employers aren't transparent with them, strike can take place.
• Employee debt: When employees are owed certain amount of money and the employer is not doing anything reasonable about paying, the workers may strike.
• Working conditions: Workers can engage in strike in order to seek for improvement in their working conditions. This may be probably because they need better equipments, medical facilities etc.
The detrimental effects that strikes has on various stakeholders in an economy are:
Effects on employers: Strike affects business and it is vital for employers to know their rights and keep up to date with the current labour laws and legislation. Strike leads to loss of revenue for the owner and if the strike continues.for a long time, it can badly affect the business.
Effects on employees: Striking employees who belong to a union are under the obligation to strike when the union wants. They can be at risk of losing their wages and benefits such as sick and holiday pay, medical aid insurance if the strike drags continues for an extended period of time.
Effect on the economy: The impact of strike will be felt by the economy in the immediate and long term future. Strike can harm a country’s investment and reputation internationally. The GDP growth will also be affected and consequences of higher wages in some sectors would lead to higher inflation.
Assume that Parker Company will receive SF200,000 in 360 days. Assume the following interest rates: the 360-day borrowing rate in U.S. is 7% while the 360-day borrowing rate in Switzerland is 5%. The 360-day deposit rate in U.S. is 5% while the 360-day deposit rate in Switzerland is 4%. Assume the forward rate of the Swiss franc is $0.50 and the spot rate of the Swiss franc is $0.48. If Parker Company uses a money market hedge, it will receive ____ in 360 days.
Answer:
Company will receive = $96,000
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Corresponding SF liability equals to pay SF200,000 including interest
= 200,000÷1.05 = SF190476.19
Now Convert the SF into $US at the current spot rate = $0.48×190476.19
= $91428.57
Now deposit the $ US at 5% and withdraw after 360 days =
= $91428.57 + $91428.57×5%
= $95999.99
This way the liability of SF 190476.19 + 190476.19×5% interest will be paid off when Parker company receives $200,000, Parker company will receive = $96,000 in 360 days.

When making decisions that are ethical under either profit maximization or corporate citizenship theories, a business should include all of the following steps except a. recognize that there is an ethical issue in the decision. b. apply ethical theories to reasonable alternatives. c. publicize the options you rejected with your reasons. d. reflect on the outcome of the decision once it is made
Answer:
The Correct Option of the given scenario is "C - Publicize the options you rejected with your reasons".
Explanation:
While creating business selection it is ought to seek for the philosophies and integrities. However, don't create it public the explanations of captivating some choices as they are having dissimilarities in philosophies which might drawback your businesses.
Answer: c. publicize the options you rejected with your reasons.
Explanation:
Under the Profit Maximisation theory where ethical behaviour does not necessarily benefit the company and the corporate citizenship theory that describes just how a company contributes to society, all the above are methods applied execpt the publication of the options rejected with reasons.
This is because certain things need to remain confidential for the protection of individuals and reputations as well as to avoid scrutiny because a Company's methodology might not be the methodology that a number of people would subscribe to.
Dinklage Corp. has 9 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $69, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 94 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $55 million, a coupon rate of 5 percent, and sells for 106 percent of par. The first issue matures in 24 years, the second in 9 years.Suppose the most recent dividend was $4.25 and the dividend growth rate is 4.4 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 25 percent. What is the company’s WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
10.83%
Explanation:
The simplest way to determine the if we use the Gordon growth model for determining the company's stock price:
stock price = [dividend x (1 + growth rate)] / (WACC - growth rate)
dividend = $4.25g = 4.4%stock price = $69WACC - g = [dividend x (1 + g] / price
WACC = {[dividend x (1 + g] / price} + g
WACC = {[$4.25 x (1 + 4.4%] / $69} + 4.4% = 0.1083 or 10.83%
Pronghorn Appliances provides a 3-year warranty with one of its products which was first sold in 2017. Pronghorn sold $1,840,000 of products subject to the warranty. Pronghorn expects $202,000 of warranty costs over the next 3 years. In 2017, Pronghorn spent $106,000 servicing warranty claims. Prepare Pronghorn’s journal entries to record the sales (ignore cost of goods sold) and the December 31 adjusting entry, assuming the expenditures are inventory costs; Pronghorn now expects future warranty costs of $115,000

c. Assume that neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 6 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 15 percent of output each year and country B saves 23 percent of output each year. Using your answer from part b and the steady-state condition that investment equals depreciation, find the steady-state level of capital per worker (k∗) , income per worker (y∗) , and consumption per worker (c∗) for each country.
Answer:
Check Explanation.
Explanation:
Note that the production function of bother country = Y=F(K,L) = K L c : k^1/2 L^1/2.
Thus Y/L = b; b = k^1/2 L^1/2/ L.
b = k^1/2.
From the question we are given that L = 6% = 0.06.
Country A saves 15% = 15/100 = 0.15 and country B saves 23% = 23/100 = 0.23.
For country A,
(a). the steady state;
∆k = 0 = y - dk.
0 = 0.15 × k^1/2 - 0.06k.
K^1/2 = 2.5, k* = 6.25
(b). y = K^1/2 = (6.25)^1/2.
y* = 2.5
(c). C = 2.5 - (0.15 × 2.5) = 2.5 - 0.375.
C* = 2.125.
Then, for COUNTRY B.
(a). ∆k = 0 = y - dk.
0 = 0.25 × k^1/2 - 0.06k.
K^1/2 = 4.167, k* = 17.36
(b). y = K^1/2 = (17.36)^1/2.
y* = 4.167.
(c). C = 4.167 - (0.25 × 4.167) = 2.5 - 0.375.
C* = 3.127.
C* = 2.125.
Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium. In a short span of time, there is a sharp rise in the stock market, an increase in government purchases, an increase in the money supply and a decline in the value of the dollar. In the short run a. the price level and real GDP will both rise. b. the price level and real GDP will both fall. c. neither the price leave nor real GDP will change. d. All of the above are possible.
Answer:
All of the above are possible.
Explanation:
Discussions here center on equilibrium of an economy in a long run, and here after the government activities, their is a decline in dollar value; therefore in the short run, the price level and real GDP will both rise in as much as the price level and real GDP will also both fall. It is also gathered that neither the price leave nor real GDP will change.
The transition from the short run to the long run may be done by considering some short run equilibrium that is also a long run equilibrium as to supply and demand, then comparing that state against a new short run and long run equilibrium state from a change that disturbs equilibrium, say in the sales tax rate, tracing out the short run adjustment first, then the long run adjustment.

Galla Inc. needs to determine a price for a new product. Galla desires a 25% markup on the total cost of the product. Galla expects to sell 6420 units. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 23 Variable administrative cost per unit 25 Total fixed overhead 46,500 Total fixed administrative 30,540 Using the total cost method what price should Galla charge?
Answer:
The price Galla should charge is $75
Explanation:
Solution
Now
The total cost = variable product cost + variable administrative cost + fixed overhead + fixed administrative
= ($23 * 6,420) + ($25 * 6,420) + $46,500 + $30,540
= $147,660 + $160,500 + $46,500 + $30,540
= $385,200
Thus,
The total cost per unit = Total cost / units
= $385,200 / 6,420 units
= $60
Hence
The selling price should charge = Cost per unit * 1.25
= $60 * 1.25
= $75

Which of the following is false? Economists who advocate discretionary monetary policy argue that it is more likely to achieve the desired economic results because the monetary authority has the flexibility to shape the best monetary policy to the existing circumstances. Here is an example of zero crowding out: The government spends $100 more and the private sector doesn’t spend any less. Here is an example of complete crowding out: The government spends $100 more and the private sector spends $100 less. Not all economists believe that rule-based monetary policy is preferable to discretionary monetary policy. none of the above
Answer: None of the above
Explanation:
All of the above are correct.
For option A, Economists who advocate discretionary monetary policy do indeed believe that the monetary authority using this policy is more flexible to shape the best monetary policy to the existing circumstances.
Option B is also correct because Crowding out occurs when the government increases investment by borrowing which leaves less money for the private sector to borrow so they spend less. The government spent money here yet the private sector did not spend less so it is Zero Crowing out.
Option C by option B's explanation holds true because the entire amount the Government increased by was denied the private sector.
Option D is also true as not all Economists prefer rule-based monetary policy to discretionary monetary policy.
They are all true.
Scenario 28-1 Suppose that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the entire adult population of Mankiwland can be categorized as follows: 25 million people employed, 3 million people unemployed, 1 million discouraged workers, and 1 million people who are either students, homemakers, retirees, or other people not seeking employment. Refer to Scenario 28-1. What is the unemployment rate?
Answer:
10.7%
Explanation:
Solution:
Recall that:
The Reports from Bureau of labor statistics is shown as follows:
Employed people = 25 million
Unemployed people = 3 million
Discouraged workers = 1 million
Workers or Homemakers or retirees, or students = 1 million
The next step from this scenario is to find out the unemployment rate
Now,
The rate of unemployed = (unemployed x 100 ) / labor force
= 300/28
=10.7%

The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $19,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $9,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use could be sold now for a salvage value of $31,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine
Answer:
$7,400 per year
Explanation:
Data provided for computing the annual depreciation expense is here below:-
Automated bottling machine = $74,000
Useful life = 10 years
The calculation of annual depreciation expense is given below:-
Annual depreciation expense = Automated bottling machine ÷ Useful life
= $74,000 ÷ 10
= $7,400 per year
Therefore for computing the annual depreciation expense we simply divide the automated bottling machine by useful life.
You can repair your furnace for $500 and it will last 5 more years, but your heating bills will cost you about $1500 per year. Alternatively, a new furnace can be installed for $3000 that will reduce your annual heating bill to $1200. Suppose you sell the house in 5 years and receive an additional $1000 in the sales price of your home (salvage value) because of having a fairly new furnace. Should you replace it? Use a 5-year analysis period and a MARR of 5%
Answer:
By present value old furnace should not be replaced, since the new furnace costs more.
Explanation:
Solution
For the old furnace
Present value = - 500 - 1500 = (1 +i)^n-1/i (1+i)n
= - 500-1500 * 1.05^⁵/0.05 * 1.05^⁵
= -$6994.215
Now,
For the new furnace
The present value = - 3000 - 1200 * 1.05^⁵ - 1/0.05 * 1.05^⁵ + 1000/ (1.05)⁵
= -$7411.845
Therefore, As the new furnace costs more by present value old furnace should not be replaced
The CFO’s objective is to make certain that the capital consumed in farming is renewed and that the farm remains efficient, utilizing the best technology and equipment appropriate for its competitive situation. How would you expect the CFO to calculate depreciation expense?
Explanation:
Since the CFO wants the company to be competitive in the Industry he has to upgrade the machines and equipment in time when a new technology hits the market. which makes the company to increase the depreciation expense and write of the asset as early as possible.
The members of the farm is sharing the profits and assumes no other way of remuneration or incentive, Hence there will not be any opposition in charging higher depreciation.
So it is suitable for the company to claim depreciation on Straight Line method or Double Decline method which will amortize the capital expense early.
Now consider the case in which the manufacturer offers a marginal unit quantity discount for the plywood. The first 20,000 square feet of any order are sold at $1 per square foot, the next 20,000 square feet are sold at $0.98 per square foot, and any quantity larger than 40,000 square feet is sold for $0.96 per square foot. What is the optimal lot size for Prefab given this pricing structure? How much cycle inven
Answer:
Explanation:
We can use the following method to solve the given problem
We are given following
Annual demand,
D = 20000*12
D = 240,000 sqft
Fixed order cost, is given as
S = $ 400
Considering the unit cost, is given as
C = $ 1
Holding cost, H = 1*20% = $ 0.2
EOQ = sqrt(2DS/H)
= √(2*240000*400/0.2)
= 30,984 sq ft
This is higher than 20,000 and less than 40,000 sq ft. For this reason, the applicable price for this quantity is $ 0.98
For C = $ 0.98, holding cost, H = 0.98*20% = $ 0.196
Revised EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.196) = 31,298 sq ft
Total annual cost of EOQ policy = D*C + H*Q/2 + S*D/Q
= 240000*0.98 + 0.196*31298/2 + 400*240000/31298
= $ 241,334.5
Now consider the next level of price, C = $ 0.96
Holding cost, H = 0.96*20% = $ 0.192
EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.192)
= 31633 sqft
This amount is will not be feasible for this price, because it requires a minimum order of 40000 sqft.
Therefore, Q = 40,000
Total annual cost = 240000*0.96 + 0.192*40000/2 + 400*240000/40000
Total annual cost = $ 236,640
Total annual cost is lowest for order quantity of 40,000 sq ft.
1) Optimal lot size = 40,000 sq ft.
2) the annual cost of this policy
= $ 236,640
3) the cycle inventory of plywood at Prefab = Q/2 = 40000/2
At prefeb= 20,000 sq ft
4) let's assume the manufacturer sells all plywood at $ 0.96, then
Holding cost, H = 0.96*20%
H= $ 0.192
EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.192)
EOQ = 31633 sqft
Total annual cost = 240000*0.96 + 0.192*31633/2 + 400*240000/31633
Total annual cost = $ 236,471.6
Difference in total annual cost = 236640 - 236471.6 = $ 168.4

Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 6.90 pounds $ 2.60 per pound $ 17.94 Direct labor 0.30 hours $ 7.00 per hour $ 2.10 During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: 19,250.00 pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.40 per pound. All of the material purchased was used to produce 2,500 units of Zoom. 450 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $4,500. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Answer:
1. Material Variances
Material Price Variance = $3,850 F
Material Quantity Variance = $5,200 U
2. Labor Variances
Labor Rate Variance = $1,350 U
Labor Efficiency Variance = $2,100 F
Explanation:
Calculation is as follows:
1. Material Variances
Material Price Variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) x Actual units
Material Price Variance = ($2.60 - $2.4) x 19,250 pounds
Material Price Variance = $3,850 (favorable)
As the actual rate is less than standard rate the variance is favorable.
Standard Quantity = 2,500 x 6.9 = 17,250 pounds
Material Quantity Variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) x Standard Rate
Material Quantity Variance = (17,250 - 19,250) x $2.60
Material Quantity Variance = $5,200 (Unfavorable)
As the actual raw material quantity used is higher than standard raw material quantity the variance is unfavorable.
2. Labor Variances
Actual Labor Rate = 4,500/450 = $10/hour
Labor Rate Variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) x Actual Hours
Labor Rate Variance = ($7 - $10) x 450
Labor Rate Variance = $1,350 (Unfavorable)
As actual rate is higher than standard rate thus the variance is unfavorable.
Standard Hours = 2,500 x 0.3 = 750
Labor Efficiency Variance = (Standard Hours - Actual Hours) x Standard Rate
Labor Efficiency Variance = (750 - 450) x $7
Labor Efficiency Variance = $2,100 (Favorable)
As the Standard Hours is more than Actual Hours the variance is favorable.

January 1, 2021, Woody Forrest Corporation granted executive stock options to purchase 41,000 of its common shares at $9 each. The market price of common stock was $24 per share on December 31, 2021, and averaged $12 per share during the year then ended. There was no change in the 164,000 shares of outstanding common stock during the year. Net income for the year was $39,000. The number of shares to be used in computing diluted earnings per share for the quarter is:
Answer:
174,250 shares
Explanation:
The computation of the number of shares to be used in computing diluted earnings per share is shown below:
Proceeds from exercise of options (a) $369,000 (41,000 shares × $9)
Used to repurchased for common stock (b) 30,750 shares (41,000 shares × $9 ÷ $12)
Number of shares for exercised (c) 41,000 shares
Less: repurchased shares (d) -30,750 shares
Diluted common shares {e = c - d} 10,250 shares
Add: Common shares (f) 164,000 shares
Total number of shares for diluted earning per share 174,250 shares
We ignored the market price of common stock as it is not relevant.
Market researchers have determined nine categories of lifestyles for computer users. One of the categories is described as "Mouse Potatoes," who like the Internet for entertainment and can't wait to buy the latest in "techno-entertainment." In terms of the diffusion process, how would "Mouse Potatoes" be classified?
Answer: Innovators.
Explanation:
The Diffusion Process defines how new products are able to spread across a market.
It does this by using the Adoption Process to determine the various groups in the market and how fast the product gets to those groups. There are 5 groups in total.
- Innovators
- Early Adopters
- Early Majority
- Late Majority
- Laggards.
In the above scenario, the Mouse Potatoes would be the Innovators. These are the first buyers of a product and as such their opinions are very important as they then tell others how useful the product is.

Assume the following: WIP, beginning 2 comma 500 units (100% complete as to direct materials, 50% complete as to conversion costs) Started 10 comma 500 units during the period Total spoilage is 700 with normal spoilage is calculated to be 550 units Completed and transferred out during the period 6 comma 000 units WIP, ending 6 comma 300 units (100% complete as to direct materials, 60% complete as to conversion costs) Spoiled units 700 and inspection happens when the process is 20% complete All materials are added at the start of the process Under the weighted average method, would would be the equivalent units of work done for the period? A. 9 comma 920 B. 10 comma 190 C. 6 comma 000 D. 6 comma 300
Answer:
B. 10 comma 190
Or none of the given
Explanation:
Particulars Units % of Completion Equivalent Units
Materials Conversion Materials Conversion
Transferred 6000 100 100 6000 6000
+Ending WIP 6300 100 60 6300 3780
+Normal Spoilage 550 100 60 550 330
+Abnormal
Spoilage 150 100 60 150 90
Total 13000 10200
As we see the total weighted Equivalent units for materials are 13000
and for conversion are 10200 . So the correct choice would be 10190 that is choice B which the nearest answer of the choices given to the answer calculated .
Under weighted method the Transferred out units are added to the ending work in process and the normal and abnormal spoilage is also added to find the equivalent units of production.
The other answer would be none of the given choices if exact figures are to be matched.
g On July 1, 2019, Sheffield Corp. issued 9% bonds in the face amount of $12400000, which mature on July 1, 2025. The bonds were issued for $11859948 to yield 10%, resulting in a bond discount of $540052. Sheffield uses the effective-interest method of amortizing bond discount. Interest is payable annually on June 30. At June 30, 2021, Sheffield's unamortized bond discount should be
Answer:
$393,063
Explanation:
The bond is issued on discount when the issuance price is less than the face value of the bond. The discount is expensed over the bond period until maturity. It is added to the interest expense value to expense it.
Unamortized Discount is the discount balance which has not been expensed or discount balance for outstanding period of the bond to maturity.
Discount Balance = $540,052
Date Interest Paid Interest Expense Amortization Book Value
7/1/19 11,859,948
6/30/20 1,116,000 1,185,995 69,995 11,929,943
6/30/21 1,116,000 1,192,994 76,994 12,006,937
Unamortized Discount = Total Discount - Discount amortized
Unamortized Discount = $540,052 - ($69,995 + $76,994)
Unamortized Discount = $393,063
Cawley Company makes three models of tasers. Information on the three products is given below.Tingler Shocker Stunner Sales $296,000 $504,000 $200,000 Variable expenses 145,000 190,000 135,000 Contribution margin 151,000 314,000 65,000 Fixed expenses 114,840 225,160 92,000 Net income $36,160 $88,840 $(27,000) Fixed expenses consist of $290,000 of common costs allocated to the three products based on relative sales, as well as direct fixed expenses unique to each model of $29,000 (Tingler), $79,000 (Shocker), and $34,000 (Stunner). The common costs will be incurred regardless of how many models are produced. The direct fixed expenses would be eliminated if that model is phased out.James Watt, an executive with the company, feels the Stunner line should be discontinued to increase the company’s net income.
(a) Compute current net income for Cawley Company. Net income $ ______
(b) Compute net income by product line and in total for Cawley Company if the company discontinues the Stunner product line. (Hint: Allocate the $290,000 common costs to the two remaining product lines based on their relative sales.)
Tingler Net Income $ _______
Shocker Net Income $ _______
Total Net Income $ _______
(c) Should Cawley eliminate the Stunner product line?
Why or why not?
Net income would _____ from $ ______to $ ________.
Answer:
Cawley Company
a) Current Net Income
Tingler Shocker Stunner Total
Sales $296,000 $504,000 $200,000 $1,000,000
Variable Costs 145,000 190,000 135,000 470,000
Contribution 151,000 314,000 65,000 530,000
Fixed Expenses 114,840 225,160 92,000 432,000
Net Income 36,160 88,840 (27,000) 98,000
b) Net Income by product line with Stunner discontinued:
Tingler Shocker Total
Sales $296,000 $504,000 $800,000
Variable Costs 145,000 190,000 335,000
Contribution 151,000 314,000 465,000
Fixed Expenses 136,300 261,700 398,000
Net Income 14,700 52,300 67,000
c1) Cawley should not eliminate the Stunner product line.
c2) Net income would decrease from $98,000 to $67,000 if the Stunner product line is eliminated.
Explanation:
a) The decision to be made is whether to eliminate a product line or not. In making such decisions, the relevant costs to be considered are avoidable costs. Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable and should not be taken into account.
b) Stunner makes a Net Income of $31,000 without the allocated common fixed expenses. This shows that the allocated common fixed expenses is actually causing Stunner to record Net Loss. And when Stunner is eliminated the company is not better off.
c) Allocation of Fixed Expenses based on Sales:
Tingler = 296/800 * $290,000 = $107,300 Plus direct cost of $29,000 = $136,300
Shocker = 504/800 * $290,000 = $182,700 Plus direct of of $79,000 = $261,700
Samco signed a 5-year note payable on January 1, 2018, of $ 475 comma 000. The note requires annual principal payments each December 31 of $ 95 comma 000 plus interest at 9%. The entry to record the annual payment on December 31, 2021, includes A. a debit to Interest Expense for $ 17 comma 100. B. a debit to Interest Expense for $ 42 comma 750. C. a credit to Cash of $ 137 comma 750. D. a credit to Notes Payable for $ 95 comma 000.
Answer:
Option A, a debit to Interest Expense for $ 17 comma 100 is correct
Explanation:
The principal amount on 1st January 2021 needs to be established since that would be the amount left after 2018,2019,2020 principals have been repaid
Principal at 1st January 2021=$475,000-($95,000*3)=$190000
Interest on principal in 2021=$190000 *9%=$17100
Total repayment in 2021=principal plus interest=$95,000+$17,100=$ 112,100.00
The $95,000 would be a debit to notes payable not credit hence option is wrong.
Only option A,a debit of $17,100 to interest expense is correct
Crowl Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $793,800 that would have a 9-year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $133,000 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $21,200. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $88,200. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to
a. 5.80%
b. 11.12%
c. 16.72%
d. 5.12%
Answer:
Simple rate of return is 5.8%
Therefore option (a) is correct option.
Explanation:
It is given that purchase cost = $793800
Company saving per year = $133000
Yielding = $21200
Annual depreciation = $88200
Annual profit = $133000 - $88200 = $44800
Net investment is equal to = $793800 - $21200 = $772600
Simple rate of return [tex]=\frac{44800}{772600}=0.0579[/tex]
= 5.8%
Therefore simple rate of return is 5.8 %
So option (a) is correct.
Bob, Kara, and Mark are partners in the BKM Partnership. Bob is a 40% partner and has a June 30 tax yearminus−end. Kara owns a 40% interest in the partnership and has a September 30 tax yearminus−end, and Mark owns the remaining 20% interest and has an October 31 tax yearminus−end. The partnership does not have a natural business year. What is the required tax yearminus−end for the partnership (if no Sec. 444 election is made)? A. September 30 B. October 31 C. December 31 D. June 30
Answer:
D. June 30
Explanation:
Since no Sec. 444 election is made, the required tax yearmius-end for the partnership will be the tax yearminus−end of a partner with at least 40% interest.
Since Bob is a 40% partner and has a June 30 tax yearminus−end, therefore, the required tax yearminus−end for the partnership is June 30.

Lynch Company manufactures and sells a single product. The following costs were incurred during the company’s first year of operations: Variable costs per unit: Manufacturing: Direct materials $6Direct labor $9Variable manufacturing overhead $3Variable selling and administrative $4Fixed costs per year: Fixed manufacturing overhead$300,000Fixed selling and administrative$190,000 During the year, the company produced 25,000 units and sold 20,000 units. The selling price of the company’s product is $50 per unit. Required:1. Assume that the company uses absorption costing:a. Compute the unit product cost.b. Prepare an income statement for the year.2. Assume that the company uses variable costing:a. Compute the unit product cost.b. Prepare an income statement for the year.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $6
Direct labor $9
Variable manufacturing overhead $3
Variable selling and administrative $4
Fixed costs per year:
Fixed manufacturing overhead$300,000
Fixed selling and administrative $190,000
During the year, the company produced 25,000 units and sold 20,000 units.
The selling price of the company’s product is $50 per unit.
The difference between the absorption costing and variable costing methods is that the first one includes the fixed manufacturing overhead to the product cost.
1) Absorption costing:
Unitary fixed overhead= 300,000/25,000= $12 per unit
Unitary product cost= 6 + 9 + 3 + 12= $30
Income statement:
Sales= 20,000*50= 1,000,000
COGS= (20,000*30)= (600,000)
Gross profit= 400,000
Total selling and administrative= (190,000 + 20,000*4)= (270,000)
Net income= 130,000
2) Variable costing method:
Unitary variable cost= 6 + 9 + 3= $18
Income statement:
Sales= 1,000,000
Variable cost= (20,000*22)= (440,000)
Contribution margin= 560,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead= (300,000)
Fixed selling and administrative= (190,000)
net income= 70,000
