Answer:
company's net profit will decrease by $54,700
Explanation:
the avoidable costs of producing part U98 are:
direct materials = $4.70direct labor = $4.20variable overhead = $1.70supervisor's salary = $5.10total cost per unit = $15.70avoidable cost of producing 18,000 units = 18,000 x $15.70 = $282,600
depreciation of special equipment and fixed overhead costs are not avoidable.
revenue generated by using the spare plant area = $73,100
total relevant savings and additional revenue = $355,700
if you purchase the product from a vendor, total costs will be:
purchase price = 18,000 x $22.80 = $410,400
Since the total cost of purchasing the parts is higher than the relevant savings and additional revenue, then the company's net profit will decrease by = $410,400 - $355,700 = $54,700
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.

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
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
Smart Stream Inc. uses the total cost method of applying the cost-plus approach to product pricing. The costs of producing and selling 10,000 units of cell phones are as follows: Variable costs per unit: Fixed costs: Direct materials $150 Factory overhead $350,000 Direct labor 25 Selling and administrative expenses 140,000 Factory overhead 40 Selling and administrative expenses 25 Total variable cost per unit $240 Smart Stream desires a profit equal to a 30% return on invested assets of $1,200,000.
a. Determine the variable costs and the variable cost amount per unit for the production and sale of 10,000 cellular phones. Total variable cost $ Variable cost amount per unit $
b. Determine the variable cost markup percentage for cellular phones. Round to two decimal places.
c. Determine the selling price of cellular phones. If required, round to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
(a). Total variable Cost = $2,890,000
Total variable Cost Per Unit = $289
(b). Variable Cost Markup Percentage = 12.46%
(c). Selling Price Per Unit = $325
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
a). Total Fixed Cost = Selling and Administrative Expenses + Factory Overhead
= $140,000 + $350,000 = $490,000
Fixed Cost Per Unit = Total Fixed Cost ÷ Cost of Produced and Selling Units
= $490,000 ÷ 10,000 = $49
Total variable Cost Per Unit = Fixed Cost Per Unit + Variable Cost Per Unit
= $49 + $240 = $289
Total variable Cost = Cost of Produced and Selling Units × Total Cost Per Unit
= 10,000 × $289 = $2,890,000
b). Desired Profit = Invested Assets × 30%
= $1,200,000 × 30÷100 = $360,000
Variable Cost Markup Percentage = Desired Profit ÷ Total Cost
=$360,000 ÷ $2,890,000 = 0.1246 = 12.46%
c). Selling Price Per Unit = (1 + Variable Cost Markup Percentage) × Total Cost Per Unit
= (1 + 12.46%) × $289
= 1.1246 × $289
= $325
The manufacturing overhead budget at Cutchin Corporation is based on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 2,800 direct labor-hours will be required in September. The variable overhead rate is $7.00 per direct labor-hour. The company’s budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $43,120 per month, which includes depreciation of $3,640. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The September cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
$59,080
Explanation:
The calculation of September cash disbursements is shown below:-
September cash disbursement = Company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead - Depreciation + Variable manufacturing overhead
= $43,120 - $3,640 + $7.00 × 2,800
= $43,120 - $3,640 + $19,600
= $62,720 - $3,640
= $59,080
Therefore for computing the September cash disbursement we simply applied the above formula.

A company used straight-line depreciation for an item of equipment that cost $15,350, had a salvage value of $3,200 and a six-year useful life. After depreciating the asset for three complete years, the salvage value was reduced to $1,535 but its total useful life remained the same. Determine the amount of depreciation to be charged against the equipment during each of the remaining years of its useful life: Multiple Choice $2,880. $5,672. $1,215. $2,580. $3,200.
Answer:
The correct answer is $2,580.
Explanation:
Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($15,350 - $3,200) / 6 years = $2,025 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation at Year 3 = $2,025 x 3 = $6,075
Net book value (NBV) becomes $15,350 - $6,075 = $9,275
New depreciation is ($9,275 - $1,535) / 3 years = $2,580 yearly depreciation expenses

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
The Converting Department of Hopkinsville Company had 1,200 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 75% complete. During the period, 25,200 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,360 units in process at the end of the period, which were 25% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".
Answer:
Equivalent Units
Material cost = 26,560
Conversion Cost= 25,540
Explanation:
We would assume the company uses weighted average method of valuation.
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Equivalent units = Degree of completion (%) × Number of units
Material cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 100%× 1,360 1360
Total equivalent units 26,560
Conversion Cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 25%× 1,360 340
Total equivalent units 25,540

A firm that has an ROE of 12% is considering cutting its dividend payout. The stockholders of the firm desire a dividend yield of 4% and a capital gain yield of 9%. Given this information, which of the following statements is (are) correct? I. All else equal, the firm's growth rate will accelerate after the payout change. II. All else equal, the firm's stock price will go up after the payout change. III. All else equal, the firm's P/E ratio will increase after the payout change. Multiple Choice I only
Answer:
I only is correct. That is, all else equal, the firm's growth rate will accelerate after the payout change.
Explanation:
Holding every other condition constant, the cutting of the company's dividend payout will lead to a permanent fall in the dividend per share and this will cause a decrease in price.
However, the cutting the company's dividend payout will increased the retention rate that will increase the growth rate of the company.
Therefore, all else equal, the firm's growth rate will accelerate after the payout change.
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.
Pharoah Company has had 4 years of record earnings. Due to this success, the market price of its 500,000 shares of $4 par value common stock has increased from $15 per share to $55. During this period, paid-in capital remained the same at $6,000,000. Retained earnings increased from $4,500,000 to $30,000,000. CEO Don Ames is considering either (1) a 15% stock dividend or (2) a 2-for-1 stock split. He asks you to show the before-and-after effects of each option on (a) retained earnings, (b) total stockholders’ equity, and (c) par value per share.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
1) 15% Stock Dividend-
Retained Earnings = Increase Value of Retained Earnings - (Total Shares × 15% Stock Dividend × Increase Value of Per Share)
= $30,000,000 - (500,000 × 15% × $55)
= $30,000,000 - $4,125,000
= $25,875,000
2) 2-for-1 stock split-
Retained earnings = $30,000,000
The 2-for-1 stock split will not impact retained earnings.
a and b) The before, after effects of each option are shown in the attachment below
c) Par value per share
Par value per share of stock dividend = $4
Par value per share of 2-for-1 stock split = $4 ÷ 2 = $2
According to the analysis, stock dividend will not make any impact.

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)

C C S Inc.
Contribution margin by Territory
Particulars East Coast West Coast
Sales (a) $8,400,000 $8,610,000
(30,000×$280)+(0×$130)
(21,000×$280)+(21,000×$130)
Less: variable cost of goods sold(b) $6,600,000 $6,657,000
(30,000×$220)+(0×$97)
(21,000×$220)+(21,000×$97)
Manufacturing margin (c=a-b) $1,800,000 $1,953,000
Less: Variable selling expense (d) $960,000 $1,260,000
(30,000×$32)+(0×$28)

Which of the following statements generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists? a. Increases in the money supply shift aggregate demand to the right. b. In the long run, increases in the money supply increase prices, but not output. c. Recessions are associated with decreases in consumption, investment, and employment. d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.
Answer:
d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.
Explanation:
Suggesting that the government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists because the process of implementing fiscal policy usually experiences lag as it is being slowed down by the political system (bureaucracy) of checks and balances.
Fiscal policy is the use of government expenditures, revenues and tax policies to influence macroeconomic conditions such as employment, inflation and Aggregate Demand (ADl in a specific country.
The benefits of fiscal policy is that investments, savings and growth is usually influenced in the long-run while it basically influences aggregate demand for goods and services in the short-run.
Harry and Meghan have considered starting their own business but are concerned about the possibility of losing even their personal assets if the business fails. One way for BOTH Harry and Meghan to avoid this liability risk would be to :
A.
divorce as soon as possible and establish two sole proprietorships
B.
Organize a limited partnership with Harry as the general partner
C.
set up offshore accounts
D.
form a corporation
Answer:
The correct option is D,form a corporation
Explanation:
The rationale for my choice of answer is that limited liability applies to a corporation which is found in other types of businesses.
Limited liability is a concept which implies that the liability of shareholders in a limited liability company is limited to the amount contributed to the business by a way of shares held in the company.
When a company runs into debt,the shareholders would not be required to make up such debts from their private pockets,hence Harry and Meghan personal effects are secure.
The way for Harry and Meghan to avoid liability risk is to form a corporation
Typically, a limited liability applies to a corporation which means that the owner liability is limited to the amount he owns in the business.
Limited liability implies that liability of shareholders is limited to the amount contributed to the business by a way of shares held in the company.
So, when company runs into debt, the shareholders would not be required to make up such debts from their private pockets,therefore, the investment of Harry and Meghan are secure.
Hence, the only way for Harry and Meghan to avoid liability risk is to form a corporation
Therefore, the Option D is correct.

Suppose that you are the international treasurer of Apple with an extra U.S. $10 million to invest for 9 months. You are considering the purchase of U.S. T-bills that yield 1.50% annual rate. The spot exchange rate is $1.00 = ¥100, and the 9 month forward rate is $1.00 = ¥110. What must the interest rate in Japan be before you are willing to consider investing there for 9 months? A. 14.5515 B. <8.8975 C. >13.4983 D. 12.5050
Answer:
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%
Explanation:
As per Interest Rate Parity Theory
Spot Rate : 1$ = 100
Forward Rate : 1 $ = 110
r = 9/12
As per interest rate parity, forward rate = Spot rate(1+Interest rate Japan)/(1+Interest rate US)
Forward rate = Spot rate *(1+ iD)/(1+iF)
110 / 100 = (1 + Japan Interest Rate * 9 /12) / 1.01125
1.1 * 1.01125 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
1.112375 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 1.112375 - 1
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 0.112375
Japan Interest Rate = 0.112375 / 0.75
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%
(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

Answer:
A). Annabelle and Bettina will learn from each other .
B). The roommates will come up with a creative solution."
Explanation:
Anabelle and Bettina are involved in a 'cognitive' conflict as it occurs when they both experience a mental as well as emotional discomfort when they are confronted with the information that challenges their existing ideas or beliefs. The most likely outcomes of this situation would be that they 'both would learn from each other' by accepting each other's point of view and adapting with the new information that would help them 'reach a creative solution' to resolve their conflict over the cleaning of their room. Therefore, options A and B are the correct answers.
g Smiley Corporation wholesales repair products to equipment manufacturers. On April 1, 20Y1, Smiley issued $20,000,000 of five-year, 9% bonds at a market (effective) interest rate of 8%, receiving cash of $20,811,010. Interest is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1. a. Journalize the entry to record the issuance of bonds on April 1, 20Y1. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank. b. Journalize the entry to record the first interest payment on October 1, 20Y1, and amortization of bond premium for six months, using the straight-line method. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank. c. Why was the company able to issue the bonds for $20,811,010 rather than for the face amount of $20,000,000? The market rate of interest is the contract rate of interest.
Answer:
Explanation:
a
Cash 20811010
Bonds payable 20000000
Premium on Bonds payable 811010
b
Interest expense 818899
Premium on Bonds payable 81101 =811010/5*6/12
Cash 900000 =20000000*9%*6/12
c
The market rate of interest will be lower than the contract rate of interest.
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
Option A has an expected value of $2,000, a minimum payoff of -$4,000, and a maximum payoff of $18,000. Option B has an expected value of $2,200, a minimum payoff of -$1,000, and a maximum payoff of $6,000. Option C has an expected value of $1,900, a minimum payoff of $100, and a maximum payoff of $2,000. In this situation, a risk-averse decision maker would pay __________ for his risk aversion, and a risk-seeking decision maker would pay __________ for his risk seeking.
Answer:
Option A is the answer
Explanation:
A risk-averse decision maker will go for the option with the least chance of loss incurred (the highest minimum payoff of $100) and settle for an expected value of 1900. He'll pay for his risk avoidance in this way (2200-1900 = 300) while a risk-seeking decision maker will go for the option with the highest payoff chances ($18,000), regardless of the possibility of failure. This would make the risk-seeking decision maker go for option A.
