Answer:
The variable costing unit product cost was $69.
Explanation:
Variable Product Costing is a situation whereby only the variable costs of production is taking into account to estimating the cost per unit of a product. This implies that none of the fixed cost will be included in the cost of the product.
Based on the explanation above, the variable costing unit product cost to produce a single product by Kray Inc. can be calculated as follows:
Kray Inc.
Calculation of Variable Costing Unit Product Cost
Particulars Amount ($)
Direct materials 40
Direct labor 19
Variable manufacturing overhead 8
Variable selling and administrative expense 2
Variable cost per unit 69
Therefore, the variable costing unit product cost was $69.
Drake Manufacturing makes a variety of products, including lawn mowers. 's Lawn Mower Division can use a component, K32, manufactured by 's Electrical Division. The market price for K32 is per unit. The variable cost per unit for K32 in the Electrical Division is $11, while the absorption cost per unit is $12. The divisions at use a negotiated price strategy to set transfer prices between divisions. The Electrical Division has excess capacity. What is the lowest acceptable transfer price to the Electrical Division? What is the highest acceptable transfer price that the Lawn Mower Division would pay?
1. ______the lowest acceptable transfer price to the Electrical Division.
a. $14, the difference between the variable cost and market price.
b. $11, the variable cost.
c. $12, the absorption cost.
d. $25, the market price.
2. ______is the highest acceptable transfer price that the Lawn Mower Division would pay.
a. $14, the difference between the variable cost and market price.b. $11, the variable cost. c. $12, the absorption cost.d. $25, the market price.
Answer:
b. $11, the variable cost.d. $25, the market price.Explanation:
1. The Electrical Division has excess capacity so supplying the Lawn Mower Division can be done and they will still be able to sell to outside customers. They should therefore only charge the variable cost to make component K32 which is $11 as they are in the same company.
2. The highest acceptable transfer price that the Lawn Mower division would pay is the market price of $25. At a price higher than this, it would make no sense to source the component from the Electrical division because the Lawn Mower division could simply source it from the market and save on costs.
Knight Inventory Systems, Inc., has announced a rights offer. The company has announced that it will take three rights to buy a new share in the offering at a subscription price of $53. At the close of business the day before the ex-rights day, the company’s stock sells for $80 per share. The next morning, you notice that the stock sells for $65 per share and the rights sell for $2 each.
Required:
a. Are the stock and the rights correctly priced on the ex-rights day?
b. Describe a transaction in which you could use these prices to create an immediate profit.
Answer:
a. Are the stock and the rights correctly priced on the ex-rights day?
stock price at ex-right = [(3 x $80) + $53] / 4 = $73.25
cost of ex-right = $80 - $73.25 = $6.75
the rights are underpriced since they are sold at $2, and they should sell at $6.75
b. Describe a transaction in which you could use these prices to create an immediate profit.
You can purchase 3 rights at $6 and then pay subscription price ($53) and you would have an stock at $59. Your profit = $65 - $59 = $6 per stock.
Lense Laboratories' net income was $260,000. Given the account information below, what is the net cash flows from operating activities for Lense Laboratories?
Answer:
The question is incomplete, below is the completed question:
Lense Laboratories' net income was $250,000. Given the account information below, what is the net operating cash flows for Lense Laboratories?
Increase In Accounts Receivable...$60,000
Increase In Salaries Payable...$50,000
Decrease In Inventory...$30,000
Depreciation Expense...$45,000
Increase In Prepaid Insurance...$3,000
a. $152,000.
b. $278,000.
c. $312,000.
d. $438,000.
The correct answer is:
$312,000 (c.)
Explanation:
operating cash flow is the number of cash generated by a business' regular operating activities within a specific time period.
The formula for net operating cash flow is as follows:
Operating cash flow = Net income + Non-cash expenses - increase in working capital
Net income = $250,000
Non-cash expenses = increase in salary payable + decrease in inventory + depreciation in expenses
Non-cash expenses = 50,000 + 30,000 + 45,000 = $125,000
increase in working capital = increase in accounts receivable + increase in prepaid insurance
increase in working capital = 60,000 + 3,000
increase in working capital = $63,000
∴ Operating cash flow = 250,000 + 125,000 - 63,000 = $312,000
Cash flow from activities = $312,000
Which of the following is true regarding the trial balance? Select all that apply. The trial balance includes all of the accounts needed to create the balance sheet and the income statement.
Complete Question:
Which of the following is true regarding the trial balance? Select all that apply.
a) The trial balance includes all of the accounts needed to create the balance sheet and the income statement.
b) The trial balance is much less detailed than the balance sheet and income statement.
c) The accounting principle of materiality says that the information on the trial balance can be combined and simplified into more general reporting items.
d) The accounting principle of money measurement says that the information on the trial balance can be combined and simplified into more general reporting items.
e) The trial balance shows only nominal accounts.
Answer:
a) The trial balance includes all of the accounts needed to create the balance sheet and the income statement.
Explanation:
Company XYZ's trial balance summarizes all the general ledger account balances with the assets and expenses on the debit side and the liabilities, equity, and income on the credit side. It is extracted from the general ledger for all accounts that do not have equal debit and credit sides. It is one of the ways to ensure that proper double entry system of bookkeeping has been followed. That the two sides are in balance does not mean that the trial balance or the general ledger from which it is prepared is error-free. It simply means that the two sides agree in total. XYZ can prepare the trial balance at any time, not necessarily at the end of the period.
Suppose you observe the following situation: Security Beta Expected Return Pete Corp. 1.80 .190 Repete Co. 1.49 .163 a. Assume these securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the expected return on the market? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the risk-free rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. 12.03%
b. 3.32%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + [Beta × Risk premium]
Let us assume Risk free rate of return be x and Risk premium be y
Now the equations are as follows
For Pete Corp
19 = x + 1.80y ...................... (1)
For Repete Corp
16.3 = x + 1.49y .....................(2)
Now Solving (1) and (2)
After solving we get
y = 8.70967741935
x = 3.3225806452
i.e Risk free rate = x = 3.32%
And, the Risk premium = 8.70967741935%
So,
Expected return on market = Risk free rate + Risk premium
= 3.3225806452 + 8.70967741935
= 12.03%
The Clifford Corporation has announced a rights offer to raise $17 million for a new journal, the Journal of Financial Excess.

(Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.) b. If the subscription price is set at $34 per share, how many shares must be sold? How many rights will it take to buy one share? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your rights needed answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What is the ex-rights price? What is the value of a right? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) d. A shareholder with 2,000 shares before the offering has no desire (or money) to buy additional shares offered as rights. What is his portfolio value before and after the rights offer? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer:
A.Maximum possible subscription price $42 per shares
Minimum price $0
B.Number of new shares $500,000
Numbers of right needed 5.8
C.Ex-rights price $40.82
Value of a right $1.18
D.Portfolio value before the right offer $84,000
Portfolio value after the right offer $84,000
Explanation:
A.
The maximum possible subscription price based on the information given will be $42 per Shares
The minimum price will be anything that is greater or higher that $0
B. Calculation for how many shares must be sold
Using this formula
Number of new shares =Journal of Financial Excess amount /Subscription price per share
Let plug in the formula
Number of new shares=$17,000,000/ $34 per share
Number of new shares=$500,000
Calculation for how many rights will it take to buy one share
Using this formula
Numbers of right needed=Shares Outstanding/Number of new Shares
Let plug in the formula
Numbers of right needed=$2,900,000/$500,000
Numbers of right needed=5.8
C. Calculation for the ex-rights price
Using this formula
Ex-rights price=(Numbers of right needed*Maximum possible subscription price +Subscription price per share)/(Numbers of right needed+ One shares)
Let plug in the formula
Ex-rights price=(5.8*$42+$34)/(5.8+1)
Ex-rights price=$277.6/6.8
Ex-rights price=$40.82
Calculation for the value of a right
Using this formula
Value of a right =maximum possible subscription price-Ex-rights price
Let plug in the formula
Value of a right=$42-$40.82
Value of a right=$1.18
D. Calculation for What is his portfolio value before the right offer
Using this formula
Portfolio value before the right offer= Shareholders Shares *Maximum possible subscription price
Let plug in the formula
Portfolio value before the right offer=2,000*42
Portfolio value before the right offer=$84,000
Calculation for What is his portfolio value after the right offer
Using this formula
Portfolio value after the right offer=(Shareholders Shares*Ex-rights price) +(Shareholders Shares*Value of a right)
Let plug in the formula
Portfolio value after the right offer=(2,000*40.82)+(2,000*1.18)
Portfolio value after the right offer=$81,640+$2,360
Portfolio value after the right offer=$84,000

g how much money should be deposited today in account that earns 5% compounded interest quarterly so that it will accumulate to 7600 in 9 years
Answer:
Present value of 7600 in 9 years at 5% compounded quarterly = 4,859.51
Explanation:
You will need to invest $4,859.51 at the beginning to reach the future value of $7,600.00 in 9 years at 5% compounded quarterly.
Using an online financial calculator:
FV (Future Value) = $7,600
PV (Present Value) = $4,859.51
N (Number of Periods) = 36 quarters (9 x 4)
I/Y (Interest Rate) = 1.250% (5%/4)
PMT (Periodic Payment) = $0.00
Starting Investment = $4,859.51
Total Principal = $4,859.51
Total Interest = $2,740.49
The compound interest rate is divided into the number of quarters, which is 4 and the number of periods will become 9 x 4 = 36. Then the present value of $7,600 is determined using the PV table or an online calculator, as above.
(A) What price should the company charge for the phones, and how many phones should be produced to maximize the weekly revenue? What is the maximum weekly revenue?
Answer:
2500 phones produced at $250 per phone
Max weekly revenue would be $625,000.
Explanation:
p = 500 - 0.1x
p is the price per unit
revenue = quantity * price/unit
R(x) = revenue = p(x)*x = 500x - 0.1x²
p(x) maximum when first derivative is set to 0
500 - 0.2x = 0 ==> x = 500/0.2 = 2500 quantities
price/unit : p = 500 - 0.1*2500 = 500 - 250 = 250
revenue :
r(2500) = 500*2500 - 0.1*2500²
r(2500) = 2500(500 - 250) = 625000
The company should produce 2500 phones each week at a price of $250
The maximum weekly revenue is $625000
Which of the following is a difference between global consistency and local adaptation? a. Unlike global consistency, local adaptation simplifies decisions. b. Unlike global consistency, a company following a policy of local adaptation modifies its standard operating procedures to adapt to differences in foreign customers, governments, and regulatory agencies. c. Unlike global consistency, a company following a policy of local adaptation follows the same rules and regulations across all its offices in different countries. d. Unlike global consistency, local adaptation is typically preferred by overseas managers who are charged with making the local business successful in other countries.
Answer:
b. Unlike global consistency, a company following a policy of local adaptation modifies its standard operating procedures to adapt to differences in foreign customers, governments, and regulatory agencies.
Explanation:
When a company wants to operate in different locations globally they can adopt 2 methods of operation.
The global consistency approach aims to maintain a uniform operational procedure across all countries where a company does business.
Local adaptation is when the company modifies it's standard operating procedures to fit local preferences, government policy, regulations, and politics.
Local adaptation tends to be more complex be side each location has its way of operating so there is no uniformity across global locations.
MAD’s target capital structure is 60 percent debt and 40 percent equity. The yield to maturity on the company’s new debt will be 10 percent. MAD’s beta is 1.7, the risk free rate is 4% and the required market return is 12%. If the company’s tax rate is 30 percent, then which of the projects will be accepted?
Answer: D) Projects A and C
Explanation:
The projects to be taken should have a higher IRR than the company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital.
Cost of Equity
= Risk free rate + beta( market return - risk free rate)
= 4% + 1.7 (12% - 4%)
= 17.6%
After tax cost of debt
= Yield ( 1 - tax rate)
= 10% * ( 1 - 30%)
= 7%
WACC = (Weight of debt * after tax cost of debt) + (weight of equity * cost of equity)
= (0.6 * 7% ) + ( 0.4 * 17.6%)
= 4.2% + 7.04%
= 11.24%
Projects A and C both have IRR higher than the company's WACC and so should be accepted.

Explanation:
You just sold 500 shares of Wesley, Inc. stock at a price of $30.92 a share. Last year, you paid $32.04 a share to buy this stock. What is your capital gain on this investment
Answer:
-$560
Explanation:
The computation of capital gain on this investment is shown below:-
Capital gain = (Stock price - Paid shares) × Sold shares
where,
The Stock price is $30.92
Paid shares is $32.04
And, the sold shares is 500 shares
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the capital gain on this investment is
= ($30.92 - $32.04) × 500
= -$1.12 × 500
= -$560
Knowledge Check 01 On December 31, 2019, Wintergreen, Inc., issued $150,000 of 7 percent, 10-year bonds at a discount of $10,125. The bonds pay interest semiannually. Wintergreen uses the straight-line bond amortization method. The entry to record each interest payment includes a debit to Bond Interest Expense for $5,756, a credit to Discount on Bonds Payable for $506, and a credit to Cash for $5,250. At December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the bonds will equal _____.
Answer:
Carrying value of bond = $140,887 .50
Explanation:
Balance in discount on bonds account as on Dec 31, 2019 = Total discount on bonds - amortized discount on 30 June, 2019 - discount amortized on Dec 31, 2019
= $10,125 - $506.25 -$506.25
= $9,112.50
Carrying value of the bond = Face value of bond - Balance in discount on bonds account.
= $150,000 - $9,112.50
= $140,887 .50
Note:
Amortization of discount on bonds = Total discount on bond / total number of interest payments
= $10125/(10×2)
= $10125/20
= $506.25
Assuming that the firm is maximizing profits, the marginal cost of the last unit produced equals:________
Price Quantity Total cost
10 10 80
9 20 100
8 30 130
7 40 170
6 50 230
5 60 300
4 70 380
a. $4
b. $40
c. $5
d. $50
e. $6
Answer: b. $40
Explanation:
A firm maximises its profits where Marginal Revenue equals marginal cost.
Marginal revenue is the additional revenue gained by selling one more unit of production.
At 40 units, the marginal revenue is equal to;
= Total revenue at 40 units - total revenue at 30 units
= ( 7 * 40) - ( 8 * 30)
= 280 - 240
= $40
At 40 units the marginal cost is;
= total cost at 40 units - total cost at 30 units
= 170 - 130
= $40
MR=MC which is $40.

Consider the relative liquidity of the following assets:
Assets
1. The funds in a money market account
2. A $5 bill
3. A share in a publicly traded company
4. Your house
Select the assets in order of their liquidity, from most liquid to least liquid.
Most Liquid
Second-Most Liquid
Third-Most Liquid
Least Liquid
Answer:
Liquidity of an asset refers to how easily convertible the asset is to cash or so called liquid money.
Most Liquid - A $5 bill
This is already cash so it is the most liquid there is.
Second-Most Liquid - The funds in a money market account
Funds in a money market account are the second most liquid because most often they can simply be withdrawn from the fund. There might be limits on the number of withdrawals allowed though within a period.
Third-Most Liquid - A share in a publicly traded company
A share in a publicly trade company ranks here because to realize the cash, one would need to sell the share first.
Least Liquid - Your house
Your house will be the most difficult of these to liquidate as it will involve a much longer process to eventually get it sold and realize cash. The process will include but will not be limited to, advertising, hiring realtors, inspection etc.
On January 1, 2021, Kendall Inc. began construction of an automated cattle feeder system. The system was finished and ready for use on September 30, 2022. Expenditures on the project were as follows:January 1, 2021 $290,000 September 1, 2021 $408,000 December 31, 2021 $408,000 March 31, 2022 $408,000 September 30, 2022 $290,000 Kendall borrowed $786,000 on a construction loan at 12% interest on January 1, 2021. This loan was outstanding throughout the construction period. The company had $4,680,000 in 9% bonds payable outstanding in 2021 and 2022.Interest capitalized for 2021 was:__________
Answer:
Interest capitalized for 2021 was $51,120.
Explanation:
To calculate this, we use the weighted-average method of calculating capitalized interest which is calculated as the multiplication of interest rate and the sum of the weight of each expenditure based on the number of months within a year. This can be stated mathematically as follows:
Therefore, the interest capitalized for 2021 can be calculated as follows:
Weighted expenditure from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 = $290,000 * (12 months / 12 months) = $290,000.
Weighted expenditure from September 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 =$408,000 * (4 months / 12 months) = $136,000.

Answer:
The first dramatic swing happened in the 1970s when there was a sharp rise in the real price of oil caused by the formation of OPEC.
In 1973, the World saw it's first oil spike when members of the Organization of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) being mostly Muslims, decided to punish the Western World for their perceived support of the Israelis in the Yom Kippur War. They placed an embargo on the sale of oil to the West and because they controlled 56% of the then World supply, this was enough to force the price of oil up due to the reduction in demand.
The second swing happened in the 2000s when there was a sharp rise in the real price of oil caused by increased demand from emerging economies.
From the early 2000s to 2008, the price of oil kept rising steadily till it reached around $147.30 in July 2008. This rise in prices was due to increased demand from newly industrialized and emerging nations like China that needed the oil to maintain their rapid growth.
The most recent swing happened in 2008 when there was a sharp drop in the real price of oil caused by a large financial crisis.
By December 2008, the price of oil had fallen to $32 and this was down to the global recession that was ravaging the World known as the Great Recession. As the world saw economic output fall, demand for oil decreased sharply thereby forcing the price of oil to fall dramatically.

Answer: $736,000; $92,000; $92,000
Explanation:
The amount allocated will be proportional based on the cost of each when in a separate contracts.
Total when in separate contracts = 800,000 + 100,000 + 100,000

Proportion of Machine = 800,000/1,000,000
= 8/10
Proportion of Installation = 100,000/1,000,000
= 1/10
Proportion of Training = 100,000/1,000,000
= 1/10
Cost to allocate to Machine
= 8/10 * 920,000
= $736,000
Cost to allocate to Installation
= 1/10 * 920,000
= $92,000
Cost to allocate to Training
= 1/10 * 920,000
= $92,000
Answer: $736,000; $92,000; $92,000
If a firm favors a push strategy, using direct selling to educate potential consumers about the features of its products, what kind of products would it most likely sell

Explanation:
People had been expecting the price level to be 140 but it turns out to be 138. Johnson Family Restaurants increases the number of workers it employs. Sticky wage theory nor sticky price theory could explain this.
What makes wages and prices sticky?Sticky wages are a result of a number of factors, including the minimum wage, employee contracts, labor unions, the efficiency wage theory, and the expense of hiring and terminating employees. It is challenging to exit a recession when wages and prices are stuck, creating a vicious cycle.
A theoretical market condition known as "stickiness" occurs when a certain nominal price resists change. Stickiness, also known as price stickiness, is a term that is frequently used to describe market prices even though it frequently refers to wages.
Many economists think that prices are "sticky" and that they change gradually. According to them, this stickiness indicates that changes in the money supply have an effect on the real economy, causing changes in investment, employment, output, and consumption. Policymakers can take advantage of this effect.
