(a) $33750000 (b) $11250000 (c) $22500000
Explanation:
Solution
(a) How much would Ziegler Inc. total income of operating increase.
Now,
Units * (Cost of purchased from outside supplier - Variable cost)
Thus,
75000 * ($1350 - $900) = $33750000
(b) How much would the Instrument Division's operating income increase
Now,
The Units * (Cost of purchased from outside supplier - Transfer Price)
So,
75000 units * ($1350 - $1200) = $11250000
(C) How much would the Components Division's operating income increase?
Now,
Units * (Transfer Price - Variable cost)
75000 units * ($1200 - $900) = $22500000
Problem 7-18 Variable and Absorption Costing Unit Product Costs and Income Statements [LO7-1, LO7-2]Haas Company manufactures and sells one product. The following information pertains to each of the company’s first three years of operations: Variable costs per unit: Manufacturing: Direct materials$20Direct labor$12Variable manufacturing overhead$7Variable selling and administrative$3Fixed costs per year: Fixed manufacturing overhead$110,000Fixed selling and administrative expenses$50,000 During its first year of operations, Haas produced 40,000 units and sold 40,000 units. During its second year of operations, it produced 55,000 units and sold 30,000 units. In its third year, Haas produced 20,000 units and sold 45,000 units. The selling price of the company’s product is $46 per unit. Required:1. Compute the company’s break-even point in unit sales.2. Assume the company uses variable costing:a. Compute the unit product cost for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.b. Prepare an income statement for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.3. Assume the company uses absorption costing:a. Compute the unit product cost for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.b. Prepare an income statement for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.
Answer and Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
a)
For computation of contribution margin per unit first we need to find out the contribution margin per unit and fixed expenses which is shown below:-
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $46 - ($20 + $12 + $7 + $3)
= $46 - $42
= $4
Fixed expenses = Fixed manufacturing overhead + Fixed selling and administrative expenses
= $110,000 + $50,000
= $160,000
Break-even units = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $160,000 ÷ 4
= 40,000 units

The I-75 Carpet Discount Store has an annual demand of 10,000 yards of super shag carpet. The annual carrying cost for a yard of carpet is $0.75 and the ordering cost is $150. The carpet manufacturer normally charges the store $8 per yard for the carpet.; however, the manufacturer has offered a discount price of $6.50 per yard if the store will order 5,000 yards. How much should the store order, and what will be the total inventory cost for that order quantity?
Answer:
5 units and $2,175
Explanation:
a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{10,000}\times \text{\$150}}{\text{\$0.75}}[/tex]
= 2,000 units
The total cost of ordering cost and carrying cost equals to
= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost
= Purchase cost + Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 10,000 × $8 + 10,000 ÷ 2,000 × $150 + 2,000 ÷ 2 × $0.75
= 80,000 + $750 + $750
= $81,500
Now in case of ordering 5,000 yields at discount price of $6.50 the total cost is
= Purchase cost + Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 10,000 × $6.50 + 10,000 ÷ 5,000 × $150 + 5,000 ÷ 2 × $0.75
= $65,000 + 300 + $1,875
= $67,175
Therefore there will be 5 units should store at a time and cost of inventory is 300 + $1,875 = $2,175
Please help ASAP giving BRAINLIEST , Did I get this correct?
Answer:
No, in my opinion I would choose:
A) the properties of free-market system that determine what the outcomes will be.
Explanation:
That would be my answer because the definition of market forces is "the economic factors affecting the price of, demand for, and availability of a commodity."(off the internet) and the answer which fits that definition the most in my opinion is A.
That would be my answer at least.
Hope this helps!
The following costs are included in a recent summary of data for a company: advertising expense, $85,000; depreciation expense - factory building, $133,000; direct labor, $250,000; direct material used, $300,000; factory utilities, $105,000; and sales salaries expense, $150,000. Determine the dollar amount of conversion costs.
Answer:
Conversion costs= $488,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
depreciation expense - factory building, $133,000
direct labor, $250,000
factory utilities, $105,000
The conversion costs are the sum of direct labor and manufacturing overhead.
Manufacturing overhead= 133,000 + 105,000= 238,000
Direct labor= 250,000
Conversion costs= $488,000
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Assume you can invest money at a 14 percent rate of return. How much money must be invested now to be able to withdraw $5,000 from this investment at the end of each year for eight years, the first withdrawal occurring one year from now
Answer:
the original amount invested = $285,714.29
Explanation:
Let original amount invested be x
Amount to be withdrawn per year = $5,000
Total number of years = 8
Total amount to be withdrawn = 5,000 × 8 = $40,000
Next, we are told that 14% return on x is realized,
∴ 14% return on x = $40,000
0.14 × x = 40,000
x = 40,000 ÷ 0.14 = $285,714.29
Therefore, the original amount invested = $285,714.29

A company is selling bonds with a face value of $1,000 to raise money for a plant expansion. The bonds pay a coupon rate of 4% per year on a semiannual basis and mature in 5 years. Net of all fees, the company receives $760 from the sale of each bond. What is the company's cost of capital on an annual basis
Answer:
10.26%
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Net sales = $760
Face value of bonds = $1,000
Coupon rate = 4% = $1,000 × 4 ÷ 100
= 40
N = Number of Years = 5 annually = semiannually = 5 × 2
= 10 years
We assume, interest rate = 10% = 0.10
P = Coupon Rate ÷ 2 × (PVIFA,Interest Rate ÷ 2%,No. of Years) + Future Value(PVIF,Interest Rate ÷ 2%, No. of Years)
=$40 ÷ 2 × [1 - 1 ÷ (1 + Interest Rate)N] ÷ Interest Rate + Future Value[1 ÷ (1 + Interest Rate) × N]
=$40 ÷ 2 × [1-1 ÷ (1 + 0.10 ÷ 2)^10] ÷ 0.05 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ (1 + 0.10 ÷ 2)^10]
=$20 × [1 - 1 ÷ (1.05)^10] ÷ 0.05 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ (1.05)^10]
=$20 × [1 -1 ÷ 1.6288946] ÷ 0.05 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ 1.6288946]
= 420 × 7.72173 + $1,000 × 0.613913
= $154.4346 + $613.913
= $768.3476
= $768.35
But the given value is 760, so we assume interest rate = 11%
=$40 ÷ 2 × [1-1 ÷ (1 + Interest Rate)^N] ÷ Interest Rate + Future Value[1 ÷ (1 + Interest Rate)^N]
= $40 ÷ 2 × [1 - 1 ÷(1 + 0.11 ÷ 2)^10] ÷ 0.055 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ (1 + 0.11 ÷ 2)^10]
= $20 × [1 - 1 ÷ (1.055)^10] ÷ 0.055 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ (1.055)^10]
= $20 × [1 - 1 ÷ 1.70814446] ÷ 0.055 + $1000 × [1 ÷ 1.70814446]
= $20 × 7.5376255 + $1,000 × 0.5854306
= $150.75 + $585.43
= $736.18
At the Interest rate of 10% the price is more than $760 and at the Interest rate of 1% the price is less than $760. So the required rate lies in between 10% to 11%.
So required rate
Yield To Maturity = Lower Interest Rate + (Difference Between Interest Rate) × Higher Price - Received Price ÷ Higher Price - Lower Price
= 1 0+( 11 - 10) × $768.35 - $760 ÷ $768.35 - $736.18
= 10 + 1 × $8.35 ÷ $32.17
= 10 + 0.26
= 10.26%
The standards for product V28 call for 8.2 pounds of a raw material that costs $19.00 per pound. Last month, 2,100 pounds of the raw material were purchased for $39,480. The actual output of the month was 230 units of product V28. A total of 2,000 pounds of the raw material were used to produce this output.The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.Required:a. What is the materials price variance for the month
Answer:
$420 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the material price variance is shown below:
Material price variance = Actual quantity × (Actual price - standard price)
= 2,100 pounds × ($39,480 ÷ 2,100 pounds - $19)
= 2,100 pounds × ($18.8 - $19)
= 2,100 pounds × $0.20
= $420 favorable
Since the standard price is greater than the actual price so it would lead to favorable variance
Hancock Medical Supply Co., earned $90,500 of revenue on account during Year 1, its first year of operation. During Year 1, Hancock collected $71,400 of cash from its receivables accounts. The company did not write-off any uncollectible accounts. It estimates that it will be unable to collect 1% of revenue on account. What is the net realizable value of receivables that will be reported on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 1
Answer:
$18,195
Explanation:
The computation of the net realizable value is shown below:
As we know that
Net Realizable Value of Receivables = Ending Accounts Receivable - Estimated Uncollectibles amount
where,
Ending balance of Accounts Receivable is
= Revenue on Account - Accounts collected
= $90,500 - $71,400
= $191,00
And,
Estimated Uncollectibles i.e Bad debt Expense is
= Revenue on Account × given percentage
= $90,500 × 1%
= $905
So, the net realizable value is
= $19,100 - $905
= $18,195
We simply applied the above formula
Farah is an engineer with an idea for a flexible solar energy material that would have a wide range of military and civilian applications. She estimates that she will need approximately $300,000 to develop a prototype. Friends and family could provide about $75,000. She contacts Natalie, an angel investor, for this purpose. In this case, which of the following is likely to be true?a. Farah is unlikely to expect more than just financial support from Natalie.b. Farah is likely to receive a report from Natalie that is more thorough than those by formal venture capitalists.c. Natalie is likely to be a wealthy individual with expertise in the field.d. Natalie is unlikely to be a private investor.
Answer: Natalie is likely to be a wealthy individual with expertise in the field (C)
Explanation:
Based on the information gotten from the question, Farah is an engineer who has an idea for a flexible solar energy material which would have a wide range of civilian and military applications and she needs about $300,000 but has only gotten$75,000.
Farah then gets in touch with Natalie who is an angel investor. An angel investor is a person who gives capital for a business start-up, in exchange for ownership equity or convertible debt.
As an angel investor, to analyze good prospects of the investments, they usually have some expertise in the business field where they want to invest.

The prevailing rate of interest for a note of this type on January 1, 2020, was 11%. At what amount should the gain from the sale of the building be reported?
Answer:
Gain from sale = $23,067
Explanation:
the none interest bearing note must be recorded at present value:
present value of the note = face value / (1 + r)ⁿ
face value = $253,240r = 11%n = 3PV = $253,240 / (1 + 11%)³ = $185,167
the note receivable must be recorded at $253,240, but $68,073 will be recorded as interest revenue.
the journal entry for the transaction should be:

The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that Group of answer choices a. the focused differentiators have a broader competitive scope b. the value-creating activities of focused differentiators are more constrained. c. focused differentiators target a narrower customer market d. there are fewer risks with the focused differentiation strategy.
Answer:
The answer is option C) The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that focused differentiators target a narrower customer market.
Explanation:
Product differentiation is a marketing strategy that creates competitive advantage with designing a product superior to that of rivals, priced higher and sometimes created for exclusive users.
However, the focused differentiation strategy takes it a step further by targeting a small group of customers with ostensible goods.
The bourgeoisie are the main target for focused differentiators. They have the economic power to foot the bill and they enjoy the exclusivity of being the few to consume such products. A good example of such products is the Bugatti and Ferrari.
Colil Computer Systems, Inc., manufactures printer circuit cards. All direct materials are added at the inception of the production process. During January, the accounting department noted that there was no beginning inventory. Direct materials of $ 300 comma 000 were used in production during the month. Workminusinminusprocess records revealed that 12 comma 500 card units were started in January, 6 comma 250 card units were complete, and 4 comma 000 card units were spoiled as expected. Ending workminusinminusprocess card units are complete in respect to direct materials costs. Spoilage is not detected until the process is complete. What is the direct material cost assigned to good units completed? A. $ 258 comma 621 B. $ 150 comma 000 C. $ 96 comma 000 D. $ 246 comma 000
Answer:
D. $246,000
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of direct material cost assigned to good units completed is provided below:-
To reach Cost transferred out we need to follow some steps which is following below:-
Step 1. Cost per unit = cost of material used ÷ Units started
= $300,000 ÷ 12,500
= $24
Now,
Step 2. Goods units completed = Started units × Cost per unit
= 6,250 × $24
= $150,000
Step 3. Normal spoilage = Cards units × Cost per unit
= 4,000 × $24
= $96,000
and finally
Cost transferred out = Goods units completed + Normal spoilage
= $150,000 + $96,000
= $246,000
To reach allocation of Cost transferred out we simply put the values into formula.
While Mary Corens was a student at the University of Tennessee, she borrowed $9,000 in student loans at an annual interest rate of 9%. If Mary repays $1,700 per year, then how long (to the nearest year) will it take her to repay the loan? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
The time required to repay the loan is 8 years.
Explanation:
The loan amount that the student borrowed = $9000
Annual interest rate = 9%
Repayment amount per year or annuity amount = $1700 per year
Use the below formula to calculate the number of years to repay the loan amount.
A = annuity amount
r = interest rate
n = number of years
PVF = present value of annuity
[tex]\rm PVF = \frac{A\left [1-\left ( 1+r \right )^{-n} \right ]}{r} \\[/tex]
[tex]9000 = \frac{1700\left [1-\left ( 1+ 0.09 \right )^{-n} \right ]}{0.09} \\[/tex]
[tex]9000 = 18888.9(1-1.09^{-n}) \\[/tex]
[tex]n = 7.51 \ years \ or \ 8 \ years.[/tex]
So, the time taken to repay the loan amount is 8 years.

Flyaway Travel Company reported net income for 2021 in the amount of $105,000. During 2021, Flyaway declared and paid $3,625 in cash dividends on its nonconvertible preferred stock. Flyaway also paid $25,000 cash dividends on its common stock. Flyaway had 55,000 common shares outstanding from January 1 until 25,000 new shares were sold for cash on April 1, 2021. What is 2021 basic earnings per share?
Answer:
The 2021 basic earnings per share is $1.68
Explanation:
In order to calculate the 2021 basic earnings per share we would have to use the following formula:
Basic EPS = (Net income - Preferred Dividend) / Weighted average common shares outstanding
According to given data:
Net income=$105,000
Preferred Dividend=$3,625
The calculation of the Weighted average common shares outstanding would be as follows:
Period Months Number of shares outstanding Weighted Number
A B A*B /12
Jan 1 to Mar 31 3 55,000 13,750
April 1 to Dec. 31 9 80,000 (55,000 +25,000) 60,000
(40000+10000)
The Weighted average common shares is 60,000
Therefore, Basic EPS = (Net income - Preferred Dividend) / Weighted average common shares outstanding
Basic EPS= ($105,000 - $3,625) / 60,000
Basic EPS=$1.68
"Vaughn Corporation is considering the issue of commercial paper and would like to know the yield it should offer on its commercial paper. The corporation believes that a 0.2 percent credit risk premium, a 0.1 percent liquidity premium, and a 0.3 percent tax adjustment are necessary to sell its commercial paper to investors. Furthermore, annualized T-bill rates are 7 percent. Based on this information, Vaughn should offer ____ percent on its commercial paper."
Answer:
7.6 percent
Explanation:
Vaughn should offer 7.6 percent on its commercial paper.
This is calculated by adding the 0.2 credit risk premium to 0.1 percent liquidity premium + 0.3 percent tax adjustment + 7 percent annualized t bills rate.
= 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3 + 7
= 7.6
Based on this Vaughn would offer 7.6 percent on its commercial paper.
Matt and Joel are equal partners in the MJ Partnership. For the current year ended December 31, the partnership has book income of $80,000, which includes the following deductions: (1) guaranteed payments (salaries) to partners: Matt, $35,000; and Joel, $25,000; and (2) charitable contributions, $6,000. The book income amount does not include any sales of capital assets or Sec. 1231 assets or any taxminusexempt income. Based on the above information, what amount should be reported as ordinary income on the partnership return?
Answer:
$86,000
Explanation:
A partnership is a pass through entity that is not taxed directly, but instead its partners are taxed. Even the partners' salaries are recorded as drawings, not salary expense.
The partnership's total ordinary income = book income + any donations or contributions to charities = $80,000 + $6,000 = $86,000
In performing accounting services for small businesses, you encounter the following situations per taining to cash sales. 1. Poole Company enters sales and sales taxes separately in its cash register. On April 10, the register totals are sales $30,000 and sales taxes $1,500. 2. Waterman Company does not segregate sales and sales taxes. Its register total for April 15 is $25,680, which includes a 7% sales tax. Prepare the entry to record the sales transactions and related taxes for each client.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, journal entries of the given data are as follow:-
1.Journal Entry of Poole Company
April 10
Cash A/c Dr. $31,500
To Sales A/c $30,000
To Sales tax payable A/c $1,500
(Being the sales and sales tax payable is recorded)
2. Since Register total for April $25,680 includes 7% sales tax.
So Sales of Waterman Company
= Registered Total Amount ÷ (1 + Sales Tax Rate)
= $25,680 ÷ (1 + 7%)
= $25,680 ÷ 1.07
= $24,000
Now
Sales tax = $24,000 × 7% = $1,680
Journal Entry of Waterman Company
On 15 April
Cash A/c Dr. $25,680
To Sales A/c $24,000
To Sales tax payable A/c $1,680
(Being the sales and sales tax payable is recorded)
Irving Corporation makes a product with the following standards for direct labor and variable overhead: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct labor 0.20 hours $ 29.00 per hour $ 5.80 Variable overhead 0.20 hours $ 6.50 per hour $ 1.30 In November the company's budgeted production was 6,800 units, but the actual production was 6,600 units. The company used 1,510 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $9,211. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate variance for November is:
Answer:
Manufacturing overhead rate variance= $604 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable overhead 0.20 hours $ 6.50 per hour
The company used 1,510 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $9,211.
To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Actual rate= 9,211/1,510= $6.1
Manufacturing overhead rate variance= (6.5 - 6.1)*1,510
Manufacturing overhead rate variance= $604 favorable
Assume that at the end of 2019, Clampett, Inc. (an S corporation) distributes property (fair market value of $40,000, basis of $5,000) to each of its four equal shareholders (aggregate distribution of $160,000). At the time of the distribution, Clampett, Inc., has no corporate earnings and profits and J.D. has a basis of $50,000 in his Clampett, Inc., stock. What is J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution
Answer:
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution is $85,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution we would have to use the following formula:
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=original basis +increase/decrease in basis from gain from property distribution
original basis=$50,000
basis from gain from property distribution=$40,000-$5,000
basis from gain from property distribution=$35,000
Therefore, J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=$50,000+$35,000
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=$85,000
