Granfield Company is considering eliminating its backpack division, which reported an operating loss for the recent year of $42,100. The division sales for the year were $961,900 and the variable costs were $476,000. The fixed costs of the division were $528,000. If the backpack division is dropped, 40% of the fixed costs allocated to that division could be eliminated. The impact on Granfield's operating income for eliminating this business segment would be:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$274,700

Explanation:

The calculation of operating income is shown below:-

Total losses after the division is discontinued = Fixed cost × Remaining percentage

= $528,000 × 60%

= $316,800

So, the impact on net operating income would be decrease = Total losses after the division is discontinued - Operating loss for the recent year

= $316,800 - $42,100

= $274,700

Therefore for computing the impact on Granfield's operating income we simply applied the above formula.

Ryan had no opening or closing inventory. What will be the total cost per unit of the product, assuming conversion costs contained $10,000 of indirect labor

Answers

Answer:

$100

Explanation:

In the question, we are given the following:

Total cost = $120,000

Units produced = 1,200 units

Therefore, we have:

Total cost per unit = $120,000 / 1,200 = $100

Answers

Answer:

For 6,800 units the the manufacturing overheads will be $ 3120

Explanation:

Particulars                                   Average Cost per Unit

Direct materials                                      $ 7.20

Direct labor                                             $ 3.65

Variable manufacturing overhead         $ 1.70

Fixed manufacturing overhead             $ 2.90

Total Manufacturing Costs                  $ 15.45

The Manufacturing Overheads = Variable manufacturing overhead  + Fixed manufacturing overhead  =  $ 1.70  + $ 2.90 =  $ 4.6 per unit

For 6,800 units the the manufacturing overheads will be 4.6 * 6,800=$ 3120

We calculate the manufacturing overheads for 6800 by multiplying it with the

manufacturing overheads per unit.

d. acknowledges that when retained earnings are used up as a source of equity, the cost of capital rises as new common stock is sold to support more growth.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option B: recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.

Explanation:

To begin with, the concept of ''marginal cost of capital'' refers to the composite rate of return that is required by the shareholders and the debt-holders in order to establish a new investment in the actual company. Moreover, this type of cost relates to the weighted average cost of the last dollar of new capital raised by the company and is has the necessity of being greater than or at least equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised due to the fact that only in that way the investors will consider to invest again in a new project for the company.

b. lower stock price encourages short term investing, whereas he is looking for long-term investors.
c. stock splits encourage long-term investing, which is detrimental to his firm's investment policy.
d. lower share price indicates poor growth prospects..

Answers

Answer:. b. lower stock price encourages short term investing, whereas he is looking for long-term investors.

Explanation:

Warren Buffet has stated that he does not want to split Berkshire Hathaway's stock because he believes that it would attract short term investors whereas he is looking for long term investors. He believes that a stock being split makes it susceptible to investors who just want to buy it for the meantime, wait for it to appreciate a bit and then sell. He however prefers Companies with a long term potential so he prefers people investing for the long run.

Which of the following would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve right? a. both an increase in the capital stock and an increase in the price level b. an increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level c. an increase in the money supply, but not an increase in the capital stock d. neither an increase in the money supply nor an increase in the capital stock

Answers

Answer:

b. an increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level.

Explanation:

In order to understand both short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy movement from short to long run, we need the aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.

An increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve right.

The long-run aggregate supply curve would shift rightward when immigration from foreign countries rises or technology improves.

When the price level rises, the wealth effect and the interest-rate effect provide incentives for consumers to spend less. The price level of goods and services in an economy influences the exchange rate, imports and exports

The average starting salary for this year's graduates at a large university (LU) is $20,000 with
a standard deviation of $8,000. Furthermore, it is known that the starting salaries are normally
distributed.
a. What is the probability that a randomly selected LU graduate will have a starting salary
of at least $30,400? (3 marks)
b. What is the probability that a randomly selected LU graduate will have a salary of
exactly $30,400? (2 marks)
c. Individuals with starting salaries of less than $15600 receive a low income tax break.
What percentage of the graduates will receive the tax break? (2 marks)
d. If 189 of the recent graduates have salaries of at least $32240, how many students
graduated this year from this university? (3 marks)

Answers

Answer:

a) The probability that a randomly selected LU graduate will have a starting salary of at least $30,400 = P(x ≥ 30400) = 0.0968

b) The probability that a randomly selected LU graduate will have a salary of exactly $30,400 = 0.000021421

c) Percentage of students that will receive a tax break = 29.12%

d) Total Number of graduates this year = 3,000

Explanation:

This is a normal distribution problem with

Mean = μ = $20,000

Standard deviation = σ = $8,000

a) The probability that a randomly selected LU graduate will have a starting salary of at least $30,400 = P(x ≥ 30400)

We first normalize or standardize $30,400

The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (30400 - 20000)/8000 = 1.30

The required probability

P(x ≥ 30400) = P(z ≥ 1.30)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(x ≥ 30400) = P(z ≥ 1.30) = 1 - P(z < 1.30)

= 1 - 0.90320

= 0.0968

b) The probability that a randomly selected LU graduate will have a salary of exactly $30,400

Here, we will use the normal distribution formula. The normal distribution formula is presented in the attached image

P(X = x) = f(x) = [1 ÷ σ√(2π)] × e^(-0.5z²)

x = $30,400

σ = $8,000

z = 1.30

P(X = 30400) = f(30400) = 0.000021421

c) Individuals with starting salaries of less than $15600 receive a low income tax break.

What percentage of the graduates will receive the tax break?

Required probability = P(x < 15600)

We first normalize or standardize $15,600

z = (x - μ)/σ = (15600 - 20000)/8000 = -0.55

The required probability

P(x < 15600) = P(z < -0.55)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(x < 15600) = P(z < -0.55)

= 0.29116 = 29.116% = 29.12%

d) If 189 of the recent graduates have salaries of at least $32240, how many students

graduated this year from this university?

We first find the percentage of LU graduates with salaries more than $32240

Required probability = P(x ≥ 32240)

We first normalize or standardize $32,240

z = (x - μ)/σ = (32240 - 20000)/8000 = 1.53

The required probability

P(x ≥ 32240) = P(z ≥ 1.53)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(x ≥ 32240) = P(z ≥ 1.53) = 1 - P(z < 1.53)

= 1 - 0.93699

= 0.06301 = 6.301%

So, 6.301% of the graduates this year = 189

Total Number of graduates this year = (189/0.06301) = 2999.5 = 3000 graduates this year.

Cully Furniture buys two products for resale: king beds (K) and queen beds (Q). Each king bed costs $500 and requires 100 cubic feet of storage space, and each queen bed costs $250 and requires 80 cubic feet of storage space. The company has $80,000 to invest in shelves this week, and the warehouse has 30,000 cubic feet available for storage. Profit for each king bed is $400 and for each queen bed is $200. 1). (10’) Please set up the LP model for the above situation.2). (20’) How many king beds (K) and how many queen bed (Q) should be purchased at optimal? 3). (10’) Whether we have slack or surplus variable applicable in this question? If we do, what is the value of slack (or/and surplus) variable? What is the meaning behind it?4). (10’) If the furniture company purchases no king beds and 300 queen beds, which resources will be completely used (at capacity)?

Answers

Answer:

1) 500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000

  100K+80Q≤ 30,000

K≥0

Q≥0

P= 400K + 200Q

2) zero king beds and 320 queen beds

or zero queen beds and 160 king beds

3) surplus variable

surplus variable is storage space

values of surplus variable is 14,000 cubic feet if zero queen beds and 160 king beds

value of surplus variable is 4,400 cubic feet if zero king beds and 320 queen beds.

surplus is the extra amount available after all resources have been utilized to theri maximum.

4) none of the resources will be completely used. There will be surplus of both

Explanation:

1) Implicit variables: K≥0 ;   Q ≥ 0

Explicit variables:

500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000-------------------------- from investment constraint

  100K+80Q≤ 30,000 ---------------------- from storage space constraint

LP:  P= 400K + 200Q

2) See the attachment for profit maximization graph

3) From graph in the attachment, it can be inferred that storage space is the surplus variable since graph of that equation lies completely outside of optimal area.

Also,

if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of investment gives

500(160) + 250(0)= 80,000

if K=0 and Q=320, the inequality of investment gives

500(0)+ 250(320) =80,000

if K=0 and Q = 320, the inequality of space gives

100(0) + 80(320)= 25,600

surplus= 30,000- 25,600= 4,400

if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of space gives

100(160) +250(0)= 16000

surplus= 30000-16000= 14000

4) K=0 and Q=300

investment inequality gives

500(0) + 250(300) ≤ 80,000

75,000≤ 80,000

space inequality gives

100(0) + 80(300) ≤ 30,000

24,000≤ 30,000

Both space and investment are in surplus

The Edwards Construction Supply Company is adopting a just-in-time inventory system. Jim Edwards, the president, has decided that restocking only when the inventory falls below a specific level will save the company thousands of dollars. Many of Edwards’ employees have been with the company for 30 years or more, and change like this might be unsettling for them. Edwards knows that his employees will be more comfortable with the system if their supervisors understand it fully. What purpose will this meeting serve?

Answers

Answer: To Provide a Smooth Transition

Explanation:

As the text mentions, many of Edwards’ employees who have been with the company for 30 years or more, might find change unsettling. However, they trust their supervisors enough to be comfortable if the Supervisors understand the new system.

For this reason, this meeting is very important as it is a chance to get the supervisors on board. Here the Edwards Company can explain in detail the new system so that the Supervisors can understand it thoroughly so that the employees might be able to follow them. Any questions or concerns can be dealt with which would make the transition smoother for the company and it's employees.

Assume that, on January 1, 2021, Sosa Enterprises paid $2,240,000 for its investment in 30,000 shares of Orioles Co. Further, assume that Orioles has 100,000 total shares of stock issued and estimates an eight-year remaining useful life and straight-line depreciation with no residual value for its depreciable assets.

At January 1, 2021, the book value of Orioles' identifiable net assets was $7,260,000, and the fair value of Orioles was $10,000,000. The difference between Orioles' fair value and the book value of its identifiable net assets is attributable to $1,950,000 of land and the remainder to depreciable assets. Goodwill was not part of this transaction. The following information pertains to Orioles during 2021:

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. How many people are unemployed

Answers

Answer: 3 million.

Explanation:

Unemployment is defined as when a member of a Country's labor force is jobless but actively looking for work.

In the Scenario 28-1, the discouraged people are not counted as they are discouraged and not looking for work and 1 million other people being students and retirees amongst others are not looking for work either.

The unemployed section of Mankiwland is therefore the 3 million unemployed people.

A well-known financial writer argues that he can earn 148 percent per year buying wine by the case. Specifically, he assumes that he will consume one $12 bottle of fine Bordeaux per week for the next 12 weeks. He can either pay $12 per week or buy a case of 12 bottles today. If he buys the case, he receives a 9 percent discount and, by doing so, earns the 148 percent. Assume he buys the wine and consumes the first bottle today. Calculate the EAR.

Answers

Answer:

EAR = 148%

Explanation:

calculating the EAR ( applying the formula for present value of annuity )

cost of case = 12 * 12 * ( 1 - 0.09 ) = 131.04

Pv   =  131.04

cost per case =  $12

no of weeks = 12 weeks

rate of the wine per ( IRR ) = IRR(57;56;55;;;;1)=  1.76319

rate of the wine per week = 1.76319%

therefore EAR = ( 1 + 0.0176319) ^52 - 1 = 148.15% ≈ 148%

Blue Sky Company’s 12/31/15 balance sheet reports assets of $6,000,000 and liabilities of $2,400,000. All of Blue Sky’s assets’ book values approximate their fair value, except for land, which has a fair value that is $360,000 greater than its book value. On 12/31/15, Horace Wimp Corporation paid $6,120,000 to acquire Blue Sky. What amount of goodwill should Horace Wimp record as a result of this purchase?

Answers

Answer:

$2,160,000

Explanation:

Goodwill is the amount of excess consideration payment over net asset value of acquiring company. It is the net value of consideration payment and Fair value of net assets.

To calculate goodwill first we need to determine fair value of assets and Liabilities.

Total Fair value of Assets = $6,000,000 + $360,000 = $6,360,000

Liabilities = $2,400,000

Net Asset value = Assets - Liability = $6,360,000 - $2,400,000 = $3,960,000

Goodwill = Consideration - Net Asset Value = $6,120,000 - $3,960,000 = $2,160,000

Mills Corporation's balance sheet included the following information: Accounts Receivable $ 580,000 Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 73,000 Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance $ 507,000 If the Allowance account had a credit balance of $31,500 immediately before the year-end adjustment for bad debts and no accounts were written-off or allowed for during the year, what was the amount of Bad Debt Expense recognized during the year

Answers

Answer:

The amount of Bad Debt Expense recognized during the year is $41,500.

Explanation:

Bad debt expense is an estimate of the accounts receivable that is deemed uncollectible. At times, it is determined by percentage of credit method or aging method.

If the allowance account had an opening balance of $31,500 before adjustment and there was no rite-off during the period, with a closing balance of $73,000, the bad debt expense is simply the difference between the closing balance and the opening balance, that is , $73,000 - $31,500 = $41,500.

Answers

Answer:

The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580

Explanation:

In order to calculate The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to calculate first the Overhead allocated to Maintenance from Payroll department as follows:

Overhead allocated=Payroll overhead×(Maintenance payroll personnel/Total personnel)

Overhead allocated=$ 20,400×(15/15+15+45)

Overhead allocated=$4,080

Therefore, to calculate the The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to use the following formula:

Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=Overhead allocated+Direct overhead incurred

Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$4,080+$25,500

Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$29,580

The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580
