Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Total gross profit  =$ 50,565

Explanation:

Gross profit is the sales revenue less the cost of the goods sold. The cost of goods sold would include the variable cost of production, fixed cost and the further processing cost

                                                                                                   $

Sales revenue (10,000×$8.15) + ( 3100 ×$6.15) =            100,565

Further processing cost                                                   (21,000)

Variable cost ( 10,000 ×$1.90)                                         (19,000)

Fixed cost                                                                         (10,000)

Gross profit                                                                       50,565

What is the noncontrolling interest's share of earnings for Harbor Corp

Answers

Answer:

$1,808,000

Explanation:

The noncontrolling interest's share of the earnings of Harbor Corp. for 2019 is calculated to be:

=($2,500,000 - $2,000,000- $60,000) * 0.3 = $132,000

Amount of consolidated net income for 2019 should be allocated to Femur’s controlling interest in Harbor

= $440,000 - $132,000 = $308,000

Amount Femur Co. would report as consolidated net income for 2019:

= $1,500,000 + $308,000 = $1,808,000

Project Q has an initial cost of $257,412 and projected cash flows of $123,300 in Year 1 and $180,300 in Year 2. Project R has an initial cost of $345,000 and projected cash flows of $184,500 in Year 1 and $230,600 in Year 2. The discount rate is 12.2 percent and the projects are independent. Which project(s), if either, should be accepted based on its profitability index value?

a) Reject both Project Q and R

b) Accept Project R and reject Project Q

c) Accept either Project R or Project Q, but not both

d) Accept Project Q and reject Project R

e) Accept both Project Q and R

Answers

Answer:

b) Accept Project R and reject Project Q

Explanation:

We can use the following method to solve the given problem in the question

We are given

Project Q: Initial Cost = $ 257,412

Projected Cash Flows: Yr 1 : $ 123,300 Yr 2 : $ 180,300

Total Present Value of all the Future Cash Flows using 12.2% as Rate of Return

= 123,300/1.122 + 180,300/(1.122*1.122)

= 109,893 + 143,222

= $ 253,115

Profitability Index = Total Present Values of all Cash Inflows / Initial Investment

= 253,115 / 257142 = 0.98

Since the Initial Investment is greater than the Present Value of Cash Inflows, that is, l Profitability Index < 0 the Project should not be selected.

Project R: Initial Cost = $ 345,000

Projected Cash Flows: Yr 1 : $ 184,500 Yr 2 : $ 230,600

Total Present Value of all the Future Cash Flows using 12.2% as Rate of Return

= 184,500/1.122 + 230,600/(1.122*1.122)

= 164,438.5 + 183,178

= $ 347,616.5

Profitability Index = Total Present Values of all Cash Inflows / Initial Investment

= 347,616.5 / 345,000 = 1.01

Since the Initial Investment is lower that the Present Value of the Cash Inflows, that is, Profitability Index > 0 the Project should be selected.

Accept Project R and Reject Project Q, so option B is the correct answer

​Garcia's Garage desires to create some colorful charts and graphs to illustrate how reliably its mechanics​ "get under the hood and fix the​ problem." The historic average for the proportion of customers that return for the same repair within the​ 30-day warranty period is 0.09.Each​ month, Garcia tracks 100customers to see whether they return for warranty repairs. The results are plotted as a proportion to report progress toward the goal. If the control limits are to be set at twostandard deviations on either side of the​ goal, determine the control limits for this chart. In​ March, 5of the 100customers in the sample group returned for warranty repairs. Is the repair process in​ control?

Answers

Answer:

the given question historic average is given as 0.09 for 100 customers.

Therefore,

P = 0.09 and n = 100

The control liimits are to be set two standard deviation around the mean.

Standard deviation =

\sigma = \sqrt{p(1-p)/n)}

Therefore substitutin g the value in the above formula:

\sigma = \sqrt{0.09(1-0.09)/100)}

After soving we get result as:

\sigma = 0.0286

Upper Control Limit = 0.09 + 2 * \sigma = 0.09 + (2 * 0.0286) = 0.1472

Lower Control Liimit = = 0.09- 2 * \sigma = 0.09 - (2 * 0.286) = -0.0328

For March, 5 out of 100 customers returned for warranty repairs, therefore,

p for March = 5/100 = 0.05

The process doses not fall under control limits, so it is out of control for March.

What amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011

Answers

Answer:

The amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 is $320,000

Explanation:

In order to calculate the amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 we would have to calculate the following formula:

amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011=Total compensation/2

Note: company does have an experience of 20% forfeitures over the life of the stock options, therefore, 100%-20%=80%

Total compensation= 80,000 options × $10 × 80%

Total compensation= $640,000

amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011=$640,000/2

amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011=$320,000

Answers

Answer:

$541,800

Explanation:

Total cost of 6,000 units = $486,600 + $612,600 = $1,099,200  

Total cost of 7,000 units = $567,700 + $624,400 = $1,192,200

Change in total cost = $1,192,200 - $1,099,200 = $92,900

Change in unit = 7,000 - 6,000 = 1,000

Variable cost per unit = Change in total cost/Change in unit  = $92,900 / 1000 = $92.90  

Using information on either 7,000 units or 6,000 units to calculate the variable cost, we have:

Total monthly Fixed Cost = Total Cost - Variable Cost  = $1,099,200 - ($92.90 * 6,000) = $541,800

The Berkel Corporation manufactures Widgets, Gizmos, and Turnbols from a joint process. June production is 5,000 widgets; 8,750 gizmos; and 10,000 turnbols. Respective per unit selling prices at splitoff are $75, $50, and $25. Joint costs up to the splitoff point are $187,500. If joint costs are allocated based upon the sales value at splitoff, what amount of joint costs will be allocated to the widgets

Answers

Answer:

Allocated join cost = $66,176.47  

Explanation:

The joint cost is allocated using sales. This is done by using the proportion of sales of the total which is attributed to the sales value of widget

Total sales value of the three products=

(75  × 5,000) + ($50×  8,750) + ( $25×  10,000)= 1,062,500

Joint cost = $187,500.

Joint costs allocated to Widget

=  (75  × 5,000)/1,062,500  ×  $187,500. =  66,176.47  

Allocated join cost =$66,176.47

Cost estimates are considered accurate within a ±2 percent range. The depreciation expense is $64,000. The sales price is estimated at $647 per unit, ±2 percent. What is the sales revenue under the worst-case scenario?

Answers

Answer:

$984,061.12

Explanation:

The computation of sales revenue under the worst-case scenario is shown below:-

Sales revenue under the worst-case scenario = Quantity sold × Price

= (1,600 - 1,600 × 3%) × ($647 - $647 × 2%)

= (1,600 - 48) × ($647 - 12.94)

= 1,552 × 634.06

= $984,061.12

Therefore for computing the sales revenue under the worst-case scenario we simply applied the above formula.

If the government set a price ceiling of $40, there would be: Group of answer choices a shortage (or excess supply) of about 8 units a shortage (or excess supply) of about 12 units a surplus (or excess demand) of about 8 units a surplus (or excess demand) of about 12 units

Answers

Answer:

A surplus (or excess demand) of about 8 units

Explanation:

The picture attached shows the diagram necessary for the question which is part of the question. Solution is given below;

At the above ceiling at price of 40$

Quantity supplied will be 16

Quantity demanded will be 24

So when demand is more than supply than there will be a shortage in quantity by (24-16) 8 units.

When there is demand more than supply than it is an excess demand.

So surplus or excess demand by 8 units.

According to an article in the Wall Street Journal​, KB Home and other builders found demand for new houses increasing in 2017 as a result of an increase in the formation of new households. In the long​ run, formation of new households depends on population growth. ​Source: Laura Kusisto and Sarah​ Chaney, "U.S. Housing Starts Fell in April for Third Time in Four​ Months," Wall Street Journal​, May​ 16, 2017. Are firms like homebuilders that sell products whose demand depends partly on demographic factors likely to be more or less affected by the business cycle than are other firms whose products are less dependent on these factors​ (holding constant other factors that affect the demand for new​ houses)? Briefly explain.

Answers

Answer:

Generally speaking, demographic growth can affect the economy quite a lot, but the economy has a very little effect on demographic growth. E.g. the baby boomers were great for the economy during several decades, but there is no clear relationship between population growth and economic activity.

This means that companies like home builders whose demand depends on other factors besides the economy, will be less affected by economic recessions or expansions. E.g. the demographic growth in America was around 0.7% during 2019 and the economy was growing that year.

Actually, the US population has been declining over the last decades. The real growth factor in population has been immigration in the last decades, and that has also been declining lately.

Byron Books Inc. recently reported $6 million of net income. Its EBIT was $12.6 million, and its tax rate was 40%. What was its interest expense? [Hint: Write out the headings for an income statement, and then fill in the known values. Then divide $6 million of net income by (1 - T) = 0.6 to find the pretax income. The difference between EBIT and taxable income must be interest expense. Use this same procedure to complete similar problems.] Write out your answer completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Royal Dutch Shell(RDS) acquires ethanol fuel from Brazilian Cosan energy company. The Ethanol costs 500 million Brazilian Real(BRL) to grow the corn and convert it to ethanol. RDS doesn't have BRL, so they must use the futures market to acquire the currency. If 1 BRL/USD futures contract is for 100,000 reals What is the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 5000 future contracts

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Royal Dutch buys ethanol fuel from Brazilian energy company

Nowm,

The Required coverage = 500,000,000

The BRL/USD futures contract size = 100,000

Number of contracts required = 500,000,000/100,000

So,

= 500,000,000/100,000  = 5000

Therefore, the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery is 5000

The economy is in equilibrium, TP = TE. Then, autonomous consumption rises. As a result, __________ rises, the __________ curve shifts __________, inventory levels unexpectedly __________, and business firms __________ the quantity of goods and services they produce. Group of answer choices consumption; TE; downward; fall; increase consumption; TE; upward; fall; increase consumption; TE; upward; rise; decrease investment; TE; upward; fall; increase investment; TP; leftward; fall; increase

Answers

Explanation:

The economy is in equilibrium, TP = TE. That is total production is equal to total production.

Then, autonomous consumption rises. As a result, consumption rises, the TE(total expenditure) curve shifts upwards, inventory levels unexpectedly falls, and business firms increases the quantity of goods and services they produce.

Milton Friedman argues that __________.
O corporations today should adopt a broader view of their social responsibilities than they have in the past.
O corporate officials have a social responsibility that goes beyond serving the interests of their stockholders.
O strict governmental controls are necessary if society is to maximize its overall economic well-being.
O a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.

Answers

Answer:

Milton Friedman argues that a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.

Explanation:

Milton Friedman is known to hold an opposing view when compared to that of John Keynes about economic theory.

Whereas Milton Friedman believes that the utmost responsibility of any company is to the shareholders, the Keynesian are more consumer focused.

Milton Friedman believes strongly in free capitalism and as a result does not advocate for any company offering corporate social responsibility to the society or public.

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) James just received an $8,000 inheritance check from the estate of his deceased uncle. James wants to set aside enough money to pay for a trip in five years. If the trip is expected to cost $5,000 and the rate of return is 12 percent per year, how much of the $8,000 must James deposit now to have the $5,000 in five years

Answers

Answer:

  $2837.13

Explanation:

The account value is multiplied by 1 +12% = 1.12 each year, so at the end of 5 years, it will have been multiplied by 1.12^5. For some investment P, we want ...

  5000 = P×1.12^5

  5000/1.12^5 = P ≈ $2837.13

James must deposit about $2837.13 now to have the required amount in 5 years.

Granite Enterprises acquired a patent from Southern Research Corporation on January 1, 2021, for $3.4 million. The patent will be used for five years, even though its legal life is 20 years. Rocky Corporation has made a commitment to purchase the patent from Granite for $110,000 at the end of five years. Compute Granite's patent amortization for 2021, assuming the straight-line method is used

Answers

Answer:

$658,000

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Granite Enterprises Patent acquired = $3.4 million

Used years = 5 years

Rocky corporation purchase after 5 years = $110,000

So, we can calculate the Granite's patent amortisation by using following formula:

Granite's patent amortisation = ($3,400,000 - $110,000) ÷ 5

= $3,290,000 ÷ 5

= $658,000
