Variable overhead efficiency variance = $17,871 U
The US imposes a tariff on the import of a computer chip that is also produced at higher cost by a US firm. The US firm is an important supplier to the US Navy. The US is probably using the _____ argument for protectionism.
Answer: d. Strategic industry
Explanation:
Sometimes countries will introduce a tariff in order to reduce the importation of a good or service that might be ruled as important for the security of the country and so would need to be produced by a company in the country. Goods related to national defense are especially more likely to fall under such tariffs.
The industry is therefore said to be strategic. This is what happened in the scenario above because the chip is used by the U.S. Navy which makes it national defense related.
Several years ago, Alcoa was effectively the sole seller of aluminum because the firm owned nearly all of the aluminum ore reserves in the world. This market was not perfectly competitive because this situation violated the:
Answer:
price-taking assumption.
free entry assumption.
Explanation:
A perfectly competitive market is one in which different firms compete for consumers of their products. The characteristics of the perfectly competitive market are:
- products are nearly identical
- all the firms are price takers. That is they are not able to determine price independently
- buyer knowledge of information about products is perfect and available to all
- free entry and exit to the market
- resources are perfectly mobile
In the given scenario above two of these rules are not obeyed.
Alcoa was effectively the sole seller of aluminum because the firm owned nearly all of the aluminum ore reserves in the world.
So they determine the price ( they are not price takers)
Also since they own nearly all the aluminium reserves there is no free entry for new firms

3. Standard cost card
4. Standard cost
Explanation:
Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
In Financial accounting, a direct cost can be defined as any expense which can easily be connected to a specific cost object such as a department, project or product. Some examples of direct costs are cost of raw materials, machineries or equipments.
On the other hand, any cost associated with the running, operations and maintenance of a company refers to indirect costs. Some examples of indirect costs are utility bill, office accessories, diesel etc.
1. Ideal standard: quantity of input required if a production process is 100% efficient.
2. Management by exception: Managing by focusing on large differences from standard costs.
3. Standard cost card: record that accumulates standard cost information.
4. Standard cost: preset cost for delivering a product or service under normal conditions.
A company is trying to decide between two independent projects. Each project has a cost of capital of 12%. Project A has an IRR of 11.4%. Project B has an IRR of 11.1%. Which project should the company choose if the goal of the firm is to maximize shareholder wealth
Answer:
Neither project should be chosen
Explanation:
Given that
Each project cost of capital is 12%
The IRR of project A is 11.4%
And, the IRR of project B is 11.1%
As we can see that the cost of capital of each project with their internal rate of return so no project should be selected

Hart Corporation owns machinery with a book value of $600,000. It is estimated that the machinery will generate future cash flows of $570,000. The machinery has a fair value of $420,000. Hart should recognize a loss on impairment of
Answer: $180,000
Explanation:
An asset is said to be impaired when the future cashflows that it will bring in are less than the book value and when the fair value of the asset is also less than the book value.
Impairment loss = Book value of asset - Fair value
= 600,000 - 420,000
= $180,000
One of the reasons why cash flow analysis is popular is because ________.
a) cash flows are more subjective than net income
b) cash flows are hard to understand
c) it is easy to manipulate, or spin the cash flows
d) it is difficult to manipulate, or spin the cash flows
e) none of these
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Cash flow is the flow of cash and cash equivalent in and and out of a business.
there are three types of cash flows:
1. Investing cash flow - It involves the use of long term cash. it is the cash flow generated from the purchase and sale of fixed asset e.g. Sale of plant assets.
2. operating cash flow - it shows the net amount of cash generated from a company's normal business operation
3. financing cash flow - it shows the net amount of funding a company receives over a given period e.g. issuance of common stock
Reasons why cash flow analysis is popular
Cash flows are less subject to manipulation when compared with net incomeCash flow in often positive when net income is negative or zeroThe Japanese economy has been experiencing slow growth. As a result the Prime Minister, who thinks John Maynard Keynes was the greatest economist ever, has decided to increase government spending. As head of the economic council the Prime Minister asks you to determine the size of the increase needed to bring the economy to full employment.
Assume there is a GDP gap of 1 billion yen and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is .60. What advise do you give the Prime Minister?
a. The recessionary gap is equal to 625 million yen.
b. The inflationary gap is equal to 1 billion yen divided by 2.5 or 0.4 billion yen.
c. The recessionary gap is equal to 1 billion yen divided by 2.5 or 0.4 billion yen.
d. The inflationary gap is equal to 1 billion yen divided by 1.66 or 0.625 billion yen.
Answer:
c. The recessionary gap is equal to 1 billion yen divided by 2.5 or 0.4 billion yen.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The multiplier is
= 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)
= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.60)
= 2.5
Now the increase in government expenditure for closing out the recessionary gap should be
Change in income = change in government purchase × multiplier
100 = change in government purchase × 2.5
So, the change in government purchase should be
= 100 ÷2.5
= 40
Hence, the option c is correct

Green Corporation reported pretax book income of $1,040,000. During the current year, the net reserve for warranties increased by $52,000. In addition, tax depreciation exceeded book depreciation by $110,000. Finally, Green subtracted a dividends received deduction of $26,000 in computing its current-year taxable income. Green's cash tax rate is
Answer:
19.30%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Green's cash tax rate is
First step is to calculate the Taxes payable using this formula
Taxes payable = (Pretax book income + provision for warranties - depreciation in excess of books - dividends received deduction) x 21%
Let plug in the formula
Taxes payable= ($1,040,000 + $52,000 - $110,000 - $26,000) x 21%
Taxes payable=$956,000×21%
Taxes payable= $200,760
Now let determine the Cash tax rate using this formula
Cash tax rate = Taxes payable / Pretax book income
Let Plug in the formula
Cash tax rate = $200,760 / $1,040,000
Cash tax rate = .1930
Cash tax rate=19.30%
Therefore Green's cash tax rate is 19.30%

The Northern Division of Southwest Clothing Inc. forecasts (has budgeted) the following income statement for the upcoming year: Sales $850,000 Variable Costs (520,000) Contribution Margin 330,000 Fixed Costs (480,000) Operating loss ($150,000) Unfortunately, every other division in the company is also expecting an operating loss for the coming year. The company's management is considering shutting down the Northern Division and has determined that $350,000 of the $480,000 Fixed Costs shown would be eliminated if that happens. If the Northern Division is shutdown, what is the change (impact) in Southwest's forecast operating results
Answer:
Operating loss will decrease by $20,000
Explanation:
Operating loss from normal business activities and if the division is not shut down = $150,000.
Operating loss if division is shut down by the management = $130,000 ($480,000 - $350,000) because the management has determined that $350,000 of the $480,000 Fixed Costs shown would be eliminated if that happens.
So, if the Northern Division is shutdown, the Operating loss will decrease by $20,000 (From $150,000 to $130,000)

Using the high-low method, the fixed cost is calculated ______. Multiple select question. by adding the total cost to the variable cost using either the high or low level of activity before the variable cost is calculated after the variable cost per unit is calculated
Answer:
is calculated after the variable cost per unit is calculated
Explanation:
Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
In Financial accounting, fixed cost can be defined as predetermined expenses in a business that remain constant for a specific period of time regardless of the quantity of production or level of outputs. Some examples of fixed costs in business are loan payments, employee salary, depreciation, rent, insurance, lease, utilities, etc.
On the other hand, variable costs can be defined as expenses that are not constant and as such usually change directly and are proportional to various changes in business activities. Some examples of variable costs are taxes, direct labor, sales commissions, raw materials, operational expenses, etc.
Using the high-low method, the fixed cost can only be calculated after the variable cost (VC) per unit is calculated through the application of either the low or high level of activity.
Using the high-low method, the fixed cost is calculated : After the variable cost per unit is calculated.
What is costing?Costing refers to the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services whereby, the fixed costs and variable costs associated with production are examined.
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with the level of output, while variable cost are cost that varies with the activity level.
Using the high-low method, the fixed cost can only be calculated after the variable cost (VC) per unit is calculated through the application of either the low or high level of activity.
Hence, using the high-low method, the fixed cost is calculated after the variable cost per unit is calculated.

Binford Corporation's contribution margin ratio is 58%, and its fixed monthly expenses are $94,000. Assume that the company's sales for May are expected to be $178,000.
Required:
Estimate the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change.
Answer:
$9,240
Explanation:
Calculation to Estimate the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change
Using this formula
Net operating income = (CM ratio × Sales) - Fixed expenses
Let plug in the formula
Net operating income= (0.58× $178,000) - $94,000
Net operating income= $103,240 - $94,000
Net operating income= $9,240
Therefore the company's net operating income for May, assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change is $9,240

Kermit uses a 10 year planning horizon and a MARR of 12%. The correctly calculated Rate of Return for this project is ________________%.
Answer:
8.14
Explanation:
The Rate of Return is 8.14 from my calculations which you can find in the attached file.
Now since the Rate of return is 8.14. Which is less than MARR of 12%, it shows that investment is not good.

= $7,000 + $14,000 + $7,750 + $10,125
= $38,875
Hence, the Total manufacturing costs for Part 003 is $38,875

Assume you just deposited $1,000 into a bank CD account with one year until maturity. The interest rate on your deposit is 8% and inflation is expected to be 4% over the next year. a. How much money will you have in your bank account at the end of one year
Answer:
amount after 1 year = $1080
Explanation:
given data
deposited = $1,000
interest rate = 8% = 0.08
inflation rate = 4%
solution
we get here amount after one year with 8% of interest rate will become
amount after 1 year = deposited × [tex]( 1 + rate )^{time}[/tex] ................1
put here value
amount after 1 year = $1000 × ( 1 + 0.08)
amount after 1 year = $1080
Company A has 800 employees, and it decides to grant each of the employees 50 share options as part of its new rewards plan. The options are exercisable over 5 years and subject to a 3-year service condition. The fair value of each option at the grant date is $16. The company estimates that 80% of its employees will meet the service condition required for receiving the options. Calculate the total share-based payment expense for Company A assuming that 80% of the employees actually meet the service condition.

Answer:
$512,000
Explanation:
Because the service condition is 3 years, the total share-based payment expense will be recognized over 3 years. The expense recognized in each year is calculated as:
Year 1 = 50 options x 800 employees x 80% x $16 x 1/3 years = $170,667
Year 2 = 50 options x 800 employees x 80% x $16 x 2/3 years - $170,667 = $170,667
Year 3 = 50 options x 800 employees x 80% x $16 x 3/3 years - $170,667 x 2 = $170,667
Total share-based payment expense = $170,667 + $170,667 + $170,667 = $512,000
