Calculate the Extreme Builders' labor rate variance. a.$648,000 F b.$540,000 F c.$648,000 U d.$540,000 U
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $648,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The standard labor rate is $25 per hour. During the year, it constructed 12 homes using 18,000 labor hours per home and a rate of $28 per hour.
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (25 - 28)*216,000
Direct labor rate variance= $648,000 unfavorable
A production line is to be designed for a product whose completion requires 19 minutes of work. The factory works 400 minutes per day. Can an assembly line with five workstations make 100 units per day? A. yes, with exactly 250 minutes to spare B. no, but four workstations would be sufficient C. no, it will fall short even with a perfectly balanced line D. yes, with high line efficiency E. cannot be determined from the information given
Answer:
C. No, it will fall short even with a perfectly balanced line.
Explanation:
It is clearly seen here that the workforce does not tally with the target production desired, so it is explained that making the target unit of 100 will certainly fall short, even with a perfectly balanced line.

Pharmaceutical Company (PC) has made record profits in the last 10 years. For each of the first 9 years, PC has declared dividends. In the 10th year, however, PC decides not to decare dividends and to reinvest that money into new drugs. Harry, a shareholder who relies on the dividends for income, sues the Board of Directors and the Officers for failing to issue a divident in the 10th year. Who wins and why?
Answer:
As in my consideration the pharmaceutical organization might won the case , as for all the dividend bonds concerned decision are taken by the organizational financial advisor, and it's the responsibility of financial advisor to choose whether to issue the revenue as dividend bonds or to hold them for more investment to generate large revenue. Thus it's the choice of the corporate that whether to issue dividend or not.
The dividend is the portion of profit that is paid to the shareholders in respect to the funds invested by them for the long-term. It is paid to the preference shareholders at a fixed rate at the end of each period while it is paid to the equity shareholders based upon the amount of profit.
The case for the dividend is won by the pharmaceutical organization.
The reason is the payment or non-payment of dividend to the shareholders' is a concerned decision that is taken by the board of directors and financial advisors of the organization.
It becomes responsibility of the financial advisor to take advantageous decision for the organization and shareholders, that is the payment of dividend is the current period is feasible or holding them for reinvestment and earning more revenue is feasible.

(a) 0.2896 (b) 0.5029 (c)0.5758 (d)In this case they are dependent because the gender is segregated as social media user or not as asocial media worker. the probability and variable is tied to it
Explanation:
Solution
(a)In a survey of 1,364 people, 395 were females who used social media and 232 did not. of males 232 use social media and 355 did not
To make or develop a probability table, take each group and divide their number by their total for example female that use social media is 395 of a total of 1364
395/1364 =0.2896
The probability that a woman uses social media in the survey is 0.2896
so,
A B T
Female 0.2896 0.2133 0.5029
Male 0.2368 0.2603 0.4971
Total 0.5264 0.4736 1.00
(b) To find the probability of a surveyed person being a female, we divivde the total number of females by the whole number, shown below
686/1364 = 0.5029
(c)Conditional probability is defined using the formula which is shown below:
P(A/B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)-------(1)
Where P(A∩B) is the probability of females that use social media 0.2896 and P(B) is the total female probability which is 0.5029
Now we substitute the values in the equation 1 and calculate the probability as shown below:
P(A/B) = 0.2896/0.5029 =0.5758
the conditional probability that are surveyed person is female and uses social media is 0.5758
(d) In this case they are dependent because the gender is segregated as social media user or not as asocial media worker. the probability and variable is tied to it
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

If the government implements a price ceiling of $45, this will result in a
A. surplus of 22.5 units.
B. a surplus of 45 units.
C. a shortage of 45 units.
D. a shortage of 22.5 units.
Answer:
The correct option is (c)a shortage of 45 units.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Qd=225-3P
Qs=-22.5+1.5P
Then,
Set Qd=Qs for equilibrium
225-3P=-22.5+1.5P
4.5P=247.50
P=$55
Now
The government forces a ceiling of $45, it is binding as it is lesser than the equilibrium price.
Thus,
Let calculate the demanded quantity and supplied quantity at a price of $45
Now,
Qd=225-3*45=90
Qs=-22.5+1.5*45=45
Shortage=Qd-Qs=90-45=45 units .
Therefore, there is a shortage of 45 units.
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

Supposed your organization used a qualitative risk assessment matrix with three levels each of probability and consequences (high, medium and low). In evaluating a project's risks, you determine that commercial risks pose a low probability of occurrence but high consequences. On the other hand, legal risks are evaluated as having a high probability of occurrence and medium consequence. If you are interested in prioritizing your risks, What should be considered first?
Answer:
I consider that commercial or legal risks should be prioritized as they have a high probability of occurrence and medium consequence is not low, so it affects a project or company in a medium degree.
Explanation:
Commercial and legal risks: the more you know about a company, the safer the commercial exchanges with it will be. Knowing all the official information published in public records, in the media and that relating to their management teams, shareholders or administrators will complete that previous image of who we are relating to and will prevent us from taking surprises in the future.
Furthermore, it is important to bear in mind that initially, if the project or the company does not have all its clearly established legal norms, it may incur a sanction and be forced to compensate damages due to its breach of norms or regulations and contractual obligations.
This type of risk also arises as a consequence of failures in contracts and transactions, which derive from malicious acts, negligence or involuntary acts that do not make it possible to formalize or execute contracts or transactions.
Fresher Foods, Inc., orally agreed to purchase one thousand bushels of corn for $1.25 per bushel from Dale Vernon, a farmer. Fresher Foods paid $125 down and agreed to pay the remainder of the purchase price on delivery, which was scheduled for one week later. When Fresher Foods tendered the balance of $1,125 on the scheduled day of delivery and requested the corn, Vernon refused to deliver it. Fresher Foods sued Vernon for damages, claiming that Vernon had breached their oral contract.
Can Fresher Foods recover? If so, to what extent?
Answer:
In the case of Fresher Goods, Inc.v. Vernon, the trial court will possibly conclude that Vernon must complete the portion of the payment which has already been compensated for as a result of partial results.
Explanation:
Vernon accepted partial payment for the sold goods. While the Law of Frauds demanded that any contract for the selling of goods at a price of $500 or more be enforceable in writing, the oral arrangement was partially compensated and agreed by all parties. That part of the deal was binding, so Vernon would supply 100 corn bushels to Fresher for $1.25 per bushel.
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.

Explanation:
Wexpro, Inc., produces several products from processing 1 ton of clypton, a rare mineral. Material and processing costs total $80,000 per ton, one-fourth of which is allocated to product X15. Seven thousand seven hundred units of product X15 are produced from each ton of clypton. The units can either be sold at the split-off point for $13 each, or processed further at a total cost of $8,300 and then sold for $19 each. Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing product X15
Answer:
It is more convenient to continue processing. Income will increase by $37,900
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
7,700 units of product X15 are produced from each ton of clypton.
The units can either be sold at the split-off point for $13 each or processed further at a total cost of $8,300 and then sold for $19 each.
Sell now:
Effect on income= 7,700*13= 100,100
Continue processing:
Effect on income= 7,700*19 - 8,300= 138,000
It is more convenient to continue processing. Income will increase by $37,900
Answer:
Financial advantage $33,700
Explanation:
$
Sales at the split-off point ($13 × 7,000) 91,000
Sales after the split off point ($19 × 7,000) 133,000
Additional sales revenue 42,000
Further processing cost (8,300)
Financial advantage 33,700
Financial advantage $33,700
The joint costs of $80,000 is irrelevant for this decision. Whether or not the product is processed further they had already been incurred.
In 2020, Sheffield Corp., issued for $102 per share, 97000 shares of $100 par value convertible preferred stock. One share of preferred stock can be converted into three shares of Sheffield's $20 par value common stock at the option of the preferred stockholder. In August 2021, all of the preferred stock was converted into common stock. The market value of the common stock at the date of the conversion was $25 per share. What total amount should be credited to additional paid-in capital from common stock as a result of the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock
Answer:
Additional paid-in capital is $4,074,000.
Explanation:
In 2020, Sheffield issued $102 per share and there were 97,000 shares of convertible preferred stock.
Preferred stock = 97,000 shares × $102 = $9,894,000
Also we were told that one preferred stock can be converted to 3 common stock i.e. 3 × Preferred stock = Common stock
Therefore, Common stock = [(97000 shares × 3 shares) × $20] = $5,820,000
Additional paid-in capital = $9,894,000 - $5,820,000 = $4,074,000.
The Kaufusi Company has the following budgeted sales: April May June July Credit sales..................................... $ 320,000 $ 300,000 $ 350,000 $ 400,000 Cash sales....................................... $ 70,000 $ 80,000 $ 90,000 $ 70,000 The regular pattern of collection of credit sales is 30% in the month of sale, 60% in the month following the month of sale, and the remainder in the second month following the month of sale. There are no bad debts. The budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 would be:
Answer: $242,000
Explanation:
Seeing as this is the balance on the 31st of May, it can be assumed that the 60% to be collected in May (being the month following April) from April Credit Sales has already been collected so only 10% remains.
For May, we can assume that the 30% has been collected leaving only 70% still to be collected on the 31st.
Calculating therefore,
April Credit Sales Due 31st of May = 320,000 * 10%
= $32,000
May Credit Sales due 31st of May = 300,000 * 70%
= $210,000
Total on the 31st of May is therefore,
= 32,000 + 210,000
= $242,000
The budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 would be $242,000.
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.

In that situation what will be the spot curve (that is, the yields to maturity on 1, 2, 3, and 4-year zero coupon bonds) in 1 year? d. What is the price of a 5-year coupon bond making annual coupon payments of 2% and a par value of 1000 today? Is the bond trading above or below par? Why?e. What is the price of this bond next year (remember, it is then a 4-year coupon bond)? What is the rate of return on this bond over the next year?
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
As is observable in the first attached image below, the yield curve is upward sloping. According to the pure expectations hypothesis which states that current short-term interest rates are a reflection of long-term term interest rates, market participants should expect long-term interest rates to rise going forward.
(b) Implied one-year forward rate calculation:
[tex]1+f2 = [(1+y2)^(2)] / (1+y1)[/tex]
f2 = 1.0006%
[tex]f3 = [{(1+y3)^(3)} / {(1+y2)^(2)}] - 1[/tex]
f3 = 1.502% approximately
[tex]f4 = [{(1+y4)^(4)} / {(1+y3)^(3)}] - 1[/tex]
f4 = 2.004% approximately
[tex]f5 =[{(1+y5)^(5)} / {(1+y4)^(4)}] - 1[/tex]
f5 = 2.506% approximately.
As implied one-year forward rates are observed to be rising and there is no uncertainty about future spot rates, future interest rates are expected to rise.
(C) Kindly check the second attached image below for the solution to question c
(d) The bond's price would be calculated by summing the Present Values(PVs) of the bond's future cash flows (in the form of annual coupon payments and face value redemption). The discount rate, however, should be the spot rates from the yield curve instead of a single promised yield to maturity.
Let bond price be Pm
Therefore, Pm = 20 / 1.005 + 20 / (1.0075)^(2) + 20 / (1.01)^(3) + 20 / (1.0125)^(4) + 1020 / (1.015)^(5) = $ 1024.872 approximately.
The bond's market value is above its par value, thereby implying that the bond is selling at a premium. This happens whenever the bond's discount rate (or spot interest rates in this case) is below the bond's annual coupon rate.

HHF's debt to equity ratio is:_____________. (Round your answer to two decimal places.):
a. 0.74.
b. 0.56.
c. 1.12.
d. 1.90.
Answer:
1. B. 3.14
2. C. 1.12
Explanation:
1. Times Interest Earned ratio
Measures how well a company is able to cover it's debt obligations using it's earnings.
The formula is simply,
= Earning before Interest and Tax / Interest Expense
Therefore,
Times Interest Earned ratio = 116/37
= 3.14
HHF's times interest earned ratio is Option B, 3.14.
2. Debt to Equity Ratio
This ratio compares the debt used to fund a company vs it's equity. It measures how much of either way used to fund the company.
The formula is,
= Total Debt / Total Equity
= 540/484
= 1.12
HHF's Debt to Equity ratio is 1.12, Option C.
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.
Suppose that initially, the economy is in long-run macroeconomic equilibrium at point A. If there is increased pessimism about the future of the economy, the AD curve will shift from ▼ . The new short-run macroeconomic equilibrium occurs at ▼ point A point B point C . Long-run adjustment will shift the SRAS curve from ▼ SRAS 0 to SRAS 1 SRAS 1 to SRAS 0 as workers adjust to lower-than-expected prices. The new long-run macroeconomic equilibrium occurs at ▼ point A point B point C .
Answer:
a) In simple words, higher level of pessimism would result in lesser aggregate demand. Thus, AD will shift from point AD0 to the point AD1. The fresh short time equilibrium is placed at point B (wherein AD1 is conneting to SRAS0). Longer run accostoming will move SRAS curve from point SRAS0 to the pint SRAS1. Hence, the New longer run equilibrium has been placed at point C.
Freeman, Inc., reported net income of $40,000 for 20A. The income tax return excluded a revenue item of $3,000 (reported on the income statement) because under the tax laws the $3,000 would not be reported for tax purposes until 20B. Assuming a 30% income tax rate, this situation would cause a 20A deferred tax amount of A) $3,000 (debit). B) $3,000 (credit). C) $ 900 (debit). D) $ 900 (credit).
Answer:
The correct option is D,$900(credit)
Explanation:
The revenue omitted would be increase revenue in the year 20B ,as result net income would also be increased,hence the tax impact of it in the future that should be taken record of now is a deferred tax liability,a tax payable in the year 20B.
The amount of tax deferred is the omitted revenue multiplied by the tax rate of 30% i.e
deferred tax =$3000*30%=$900
This would be credited to deferred tax liability and debited income tax expense.
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.
Imagine that your goal is to retire 34 years from today with \$1,000,000$1,000,000 in savings. Assuming that you currently (i.e., today) have \$5,000$5,000 in savings, what rate of return must you earn on that savings to hit your goal? (Hint: Solve your future value formula for the discount rate, RR) *Make sure to input all percentage answers as numeric values without symbols, and use four decimal places of precision. For example, if the answer is 6%, then enter 0.0600.
Answer:
Present value after 34years = 1000000
Cash flow at present= 5000
Using
PV= CF(1+R)^t
1000000=5000(1+R)^34
R=1.169-1
R=0.168(16.8%)
Rate of return must you earn on that savings to hit your goal is 0.168, at the present value of $1000000, this can be calculated as follows
formula for calculating rate of return =
PV= CF(1+R) ^t
Wherein,
PV is Present value after 34years = 1000000
CF is Cash flow at present= 5000
R (rate of return) =?
T, that is time is 34 years
Therefore, with the help of given numbers the rate of return can be calculated as follows:
1000000=5000(1+R) ^34
R=1.169-1
R=0.168(16.8%)
Therefore, an individual with the present value of $1000000 and present cash flow of $5000 can earn a rate of return at 0.168 after 34 years
