Answer:
A. Profit per wheel = $8
B. Total benefit to Motor Corp. = $4,320,000
Explanation:
Requirement A
We can calculate the net benefit/cost to the wheel division of accepting the offer from van division by deducting all the variable cost from the selling price offered by van division
Selling price = $40
Direct material = $15
Direct labor = $11
Variable Overhead = $6
Profit per wheel = $8
Requirement B Net benefit to Motor car corp.
Increased the profit of wheel division by accepting the offer
180,000 x $8 =$1,440,000
Savings of van division by placing an order to wheel division
180,000 x $16(w) = $2,880,000
Total benefit to Motor Corp. = $1,440,000 + $2,880,000
Total benefit to Motor Corp. = $4,320,000
Working
Outside supplier price - Price offered by van division
$56 - $40

Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $2,201 and matures in 21 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a coupon rate of 7.38 percent. The par value is $2,000. If the company's tax rate is 40 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt
Answer:
the after tax cost of debt is 3.90 %.
Explanation:
The Cost of debt is the rate required on the bond and this is calculated as follows :
PV = - $2,201
n = 21 × 2 = 42
PMT = ($2,000 × 7.38 %) ÷ 2 = $73.80
P/YR = 2
FV = $2,000
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the Pre-tax Cost of debt, r is 6.4963% or 6.50 % (2 decimal places)
After tax cost of debt = Interest rate × (1 - tax rate)
= 6.50 % × (1 - 0.40)
= 3.90 %
A simple random sample of 20 observations is derived from a normally distributed population with a known standard deviation of 3.2. You may find it useful to reference the z table.
a. Is the condition that X−X− is normally distributed satisfied?
Yes
No
b. Compute the margin of error with 95% confidence. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places. Round "z" value to 3 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. Compute the margin of error with 90% confidence. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places. Round "z" value to 3 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
d. Which of the two margins of error will lead to a wider interval?
The margin of error with 95% confidence.
The margin of error with 90% confidence.
Answer:
1. It is satisfied
2. 1.4
3. 1.18
4. 95% confidence is wider
Explanation:
1. It is normally distributed since n<30
2. Margin of error with 95% confidence
= Alpha = 1 - 0.95
= O.05
Alpha/2 = 0.025
Z(0.025) = 1.960
Margin of error = z(1.960)*SD/√n
= 1.960*(3.2/√20)
= 1.960 x 0.7156
= 1.4025
Approximately 1.4
3. At 90%
Alpha = 1 -0.9
= 0.10
Alpha/2 = 0.05
Z(0.05) =1.645
E = 1.645 x 3.2/√20
= 1.645 x 0.7176
= 1.177
Approximately 1.18
4. From the calculations in 2 and 3 it is obvious that the margin of error with 95% confidence interval is wider.
Denver Company, a calendar year corporation, had the following actual income before income tax expense and estimated effective annual income tax rates for the first two quarters in year x8: quarter income before tax estimated tax rate first $100k 30% second $140k 24% Denver's income tax expense in its interim income statement for the second quarter should be:
Answer:
Denver Company
Income Tax Expense for the second quarter:
Pre-tax quarter income = $140,000
Estimated tax rate = 24%
Tax Expense = $140,000 x 24%
= $33,600
Explanation:
a) Data:
Quarter income before tax estimated tax rate
first $100k 30%
second $140k 24%
b) Denver's quarter second income tax expense is the product of the pretax income for the second quarter and the estimated income tax rate for the quarter. The resulting calculation shows the estimated income tax expense that has to be settled by Denver. If it is not settled in the quarter second period, it has to be carried forward to the next quarter as a liability under the heading, Income Tax Payable.
A company had the following purchases during its first year of operations: Purchases January: 18 units at $128 February: 28 units at $138 May: 23 units at $148 September: 20 units at $158 November: 18 units at $168 On December 31, there were 58 units remaining in ending inventory. These 58 units consisted of 10 from January, 12 from February, 14 from May, 12 from September, and 10 from November. Using the specific identification method, what is the cost of the ending inventory?
Answer:
$8,584
Explanation:
Cost of ending inventory can be calculated by multiplying the remaining units of the given month by their purchase cost in the following month
DATA
Total remaining units n ending inventory = 58 units
10 from January at $128
12 from February at $138
14 from May at $148
12 from September at $158
10 from November at $168
Calculation
January = 10 x $128 = $1,280
February = 12 x $138 = $1,656
May = 14 x $148 = $2,072
September = 12 x $158 = $1,896
November = 10 x $168 = $1,680
Cost of ending inventory = $8,584

Suppose that Dunkin Donuts reduces the price of its regular coffee from $2 to $1 per cup, and as a result, the quantity sold per day increased from 10 to 40. Over this price range, the price elasticity of demand for Dunkin Donuts’ regular coffee is:
Answer:
PED = -6
Explanation:
The PED or price elasticity of demand for a product measures the responsiveness of a product's demand to the changes in the price of the product. The PED is calculated as follows,
PED = % change in Quantity demanded / % change in price
PED = [(40 - 10) / 10] / [(1 - 2) / 2]
PED = -6
A PED of -6 represents that quantity demanded is highly price elastic and a negative sign means that it is a normal good.
The Cutting Department at Blanc Company had beginning work in process inventory of 4,000 units, transferred out 9,000 units, and had 2,000 units in ending work in process inventory. The number of units started into production by the Cutting Department during the month is
Answer:
The number of units started into production is 7,000.
Explanation:
Number of units started into production = Units transferred out + units of ending work in process - units of beginning work in process
= 9,000 + 2,000 - 4,000
= 7,000
Many managers describe performance appraisal as the responsibility that they like least. Why is this so? What could be done to improve the situation?
Answer:
Many managers describe performance appraisal as the responsibility that they like least. Why is this so?
it might be so because managers may feel that performance appraisal is not as productive as other activities, or because they lack the personal skills, or the motivation, to engage in that activity.
What could be done to improve the situation?
Managers should be taught that performance appraisal can be a very effective and productive method for the firm. When workers are praised for their work (when they deserve it), they are likely to be happier in the workplace, and it has been shown by countless studies that happier workers are also more productive.

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 25 years. To do this, you will invest $880 per month in a stock account and $480 per month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be an APR of 10.8 percent, and the bond account will earn an APR of 6.8 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with an APR of 7.8 percent. All interest rates are compounded monthly. How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a withdrawal period of 20 years
Answer:
$14,143.86 can be withdrawn each month from the account for 20 years.
Explanation:
To determine this, the first step is to use the formula for calculating the future value (FV) of ordinary annuity to calculate the FV of both stock and bond as follows:
Calculation of Future Value of Stock
FVs = M × {[(1 + r)^n - 1] ÷ r} ................................. (1)
Where,
FVs = Future value of the amount invested in stock after 25 years =?
M = Monthly investment = $880
r = Monthly interest rate = 10.8% ÷ 12 = 0.9%, or 0.009
n = number of months = 25 years × 12 months = 300
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FVs = $880 × {[(1 + 0.009)^360 - 1] ÷ 0.009}
FVs = $880 × 1,522.3445923122
FVs = $1,339,663.24
Calculation of Future Value of Bond
FVd = M × {[(1 + r)^n - 1] ÷ r} ................................. (1)
Where,
FVd = Future value of the amount invested in bond after 25 years =?
M = Monthly investment = $480
r = Monthly interest rate = 6.8% ÷ 12 = 0.566666666666667%, or 0.00566666666666667
n = number of months = 25 years × 12 months = 300
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FVd = $480 × {[(1 + 0.00566666666666667)^300 - 1] ÷ 0.00566666666666667}
FVd = $480 × 784.895879465925
FVd = $376,750.02
Calculation of the amount that can be withdrawn monthly for 20 years
To calculate this, the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity is used as follows:
PV = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r] …………………………………. (3)
Where;
PV = Combined present values of stock and bond investments after retirement = FVs + FVb = $1,339,663.24 + $376,750.02 = $1,716,413.26
P = Monthly withdrawal = ?
r = Monthly interest rate = 7.8% ÷ 12 = 0.65%, or 0.0065
n = number of months = 20 years * 12 months = 240
Substitute the values into equation (3) and solve for P to have:
PV = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r]
$1,716,413.26 = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.0065)]^240} ÷ 0.0065]
$1,716,413.26 = P × 121.353915567094
P = $1,716,413.26 / 121.353915567094
P = $14,143.86
Therefore, $14,143.86 can be withdrawn each month from the account for 20 years.
Design specifications reflecting customer requirements for a product are known as:________
a) control limits
b) capability indices
c) natural variability
d) tolerances
Answer:
d) Tolerances.
Explanation:
This is seen to directly reflect on total range of the customer satisfactory choices of the said product. It is also known according to product research and customer satisfaction on choices to conventionally deal properly with the variation of manufacturing processes to meet the requirements of product quality. Cases that bring up things like customer development in product customization has also been generally accepted that customer requirements also have acceptable tolerance range. Top business moguls are seen to most times leverage on these requirements which include tolerance, customers are more likely to get their desired product.
A stock priced at $61 has three-month calls and puts with an exercise price of $55 available. The calls have a premium of $5.28, and the puts cost $0.56. The risk-free rate is 1.1%. If the put options are mispriced, what is the profit per option assuming no transaction costs?
Answer:
The Profit per option = $1.431
Explanation:
Given that:
Current stock price S = $61
Exercise Strike price X = $55
Value of call option C = $5.28
Puts Costs = $0.56
risk-free rate = (1.1% × 3)/12
risk - free rate = 0.275%
If the put options are mispriced, what is the profit per option assuming no transaction costs
Present value of the strike price [tex]X = \dfrac{X}{(1+r)}[/tex]
[tex]X = \dfrac{55}{(1+\dfrac{0.275}{100})}[/tex]
[tex]X = \dfrac{55}{(1+0.00275)}[/tex]
[tex]X = \dfrac{55}{(1.00275)}[/tex]
X = $54.849
The formula that hold for the put option can be expressed as:
P = Present value of the strike price X + C - S
P = $(54.849 + 5.28 - 61)
P = $60.129 - $61
P = - $0.871
Thus, the put option = - $0.871
This implies that the Put option is out of cash since it is negative.
Now, The Profit per option = put costs - (- put option)
The Profit per option = 0.56 - ( - 0.871)
The Profit per option = $1.431
Pear Corporation is considering Alternative A and Alternative B. Costs associated with the alternatives are listed below:
Alternative A Alternative B
Materials costs $ 40,000 $ 56,000
Processing costs $ 37,000 $ 37,000
Equipment rental $ 13,000 $ 13,000
Occupancy costs $ 15,000 $ 22,000
Are the materials costs and processing costs relevant in the choice between alternatives A and B?
Multiple Choice
A) Only processing costs are relevant
B) Only materials costs are relevant
C) Both materials costs and processing costs are relevant
D) Neither materials costs nor processing costs are relevant
Answer: B) Only materials costs are relevant
Explanation:
When choosing between alternatives, the main decider is the difference in costs. The costs that are different are the ones to decide whether a company takes on a project as it will signal the financial viability of a project.
In both alternatives, the Processing costs remain at $37,000 therefore the alternative chosen is irrelevant to these costs as they will be incurred regardless of the company's choice. They are therefore not to be considered.
Material costs on the other hand vary by the alternatives and so should be considered.

Explanation:
the market price of the bonds:
$800,000 / 1.05¹⁰ = $491,130.60
$32,000 x 8.1109 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 10 periods) = $259,548.80
market price = $750,679.40
discount on bonds payable $49,320.60
discount amortization first payment = (750,679.40 x 0.05) - 32,000 = 5,533.97
discount amortization second payment = (756,213.37 x 0.05) - 32,000 = 5,810.67
discount amortization third payment = (762,024.04 x 0.05) - 32,000 = 6,101.20
discount amortization fourth payment = (768,125.24 x 0.05) - 32,000 = 6,406.26

3. Income Statement for determining the gross profit:
Sales Revenue $184,600
Cost of goods sold $92,640
Gross profit $91,960
4. Determination of the ending inventory cost of June 30:
Ending Inventory units = 88
Cost per unit (FIFO) = $240
Total = $21,120
5. The ending inventory would be lower if the ending inventory was valued using the Last-in, First-out (LIFO) method. The purchase price was increasing instead. Using LIFO means that ending inventory would be valued at the cost of the purchases in earlier months because of the assumption with LIFO that goods sold are from the last purchases instead of the earlier purchases.

Burpee Company sells seeds to garden stores. Sales are expected to be $2,038,635 in January, $2,581,891 in February and $2,913,307 in March. Burpee sets their prices so that they earn an average 32% gross profit on sales revenue. What is budgeted cost of goods sold for the first quarter (January, February and March)?
Answer:
Total COGS= $5,123,006.44
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
January= $2,038,635
February= $2,581,891
March= $2,913,307
Burpee sets their prices so that they earn an average 32% gross profit on sales revenue.

a. Calculate the cost per unit of October production of 4,200 toy flutes that required
1. Raw materials costing $490.
2. 21 direct labor hours costing $357.
3. 36 machine hours.
b. At the end of October, 3,870 of these toy flutes had been sold. Calculate the ending inventory value of the toy flutes still in inventory at October, 31.
Answer:
a. $ 0.45
b. $148.50
Explanation:
Production Cost Schedule for 4,200 toy flutes
Raw materials costing $490.00
Direct Labor $357.00
Overheads ($5.60 × 36) $201.60
Overheads ($357 × 240%) $856.80
Total Cost $1,905.40
Cost per unit = Total Cost / Total Number of Units produced
= $1,905.40 / 4,200
= $ 0.45

Suppose purchasing power parity holds. If the price level in the United States is 100 dollars per good and the price level in Japan is 250 yen per good, then the nominal exchange rate is ________ yen per dollar.
Answer: 2.5 Yen
Explanation;
The Economic theory of Purchasing Power Parity when held, believes that prices of goods in different countries are the same if their exchange rates are taken into account.
For the above therefore it means that the price of the good is the same in both the US and Japan barring exchange rates.
Exchange rate is;
$100 = ¥250
$1 = 250/100
$1 = ¥2.5
Exchange rate is 2.5 yen per dollar.

With regard to consideration in a sales contract, the UCC differs from the common law in that:_______
A) terms of a sales contract may be modified without additional consideration.
B) consideration is not required in sales contracts
C) terms in a sales contract may be modified as long as additional consideration is provided.
D) consideration exchanged must be equal or very closely equal in sales contracts.
Answer:
A) terms of a sales contract may be modified without additional consideration.
Explanation:
Generally speaking, common law applies to everybody in an equal manner, i.e. the law is the same for everyone. While UCC rules vary depending if the parties involved are merchants or not. UCC has two standards, one that applies to merchants and another one that applies to everyone else.
Common law applies to all contracts that are not covered by UCC rules. UCC rules only apply to the sale of goods and this doesn't include money or securities. Under UCC rules, new consideration is not a requirement to modify an existing contract. E.g. a buyer places an order for 3,000 units, but the seller only has 2,000 units available. The seller can send the 2,000 units and if the buyer accepts them, a new contract is formed.

Answer:
demand for pesos would fall and supply would rise. their value would decrease as a result
