Answer:
The product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.
Explanation:
The lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) method is a method of recording the inventory of a company which requires that the inventory cost of the company must recorded at whichever is lower between the inventory's original cost or current market price.
Applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the amount per unit at whcih product 2005WSC should be reported can be determined as follows:
Net realizable value (NRV) = Selling price per unit - Cost of disposal per unit = $30 - $3 = $27
Replacement cost (RC) = $26
NRV - Profit Margin = $27 - ($30 * 40%) = $15
Cost per unit = $27
Note that the market is the middle value of Net realizable value (NRV), $27; Replacement cost (RC), $26; and "NRV - Profit Margin", $15. Since the Replacement cost (RC) of $26 is the middle value, that the market value.
Since the market value of $26 per unit is lower than Cost per unit of $27, by applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.

Despite the theoretical elegance of this hypothesis, empirical studies have come to the opposite conclusion. Despite the favorable effect of international diversification of cash flows, bankruptcy risk was only about the same for MNEs as for domestic firms. However, MNEs faced higher costs for each of the following EXCEPT:
A) agency costs.
B) political risk.
C) asymmetric information.
D) In fact, each of these costs were higher for the MNE than for the domestic firm.
Answer:
D) In fact, each of these costs were higher for the MNE than for the domestic firm.
Explanation:
It has been concluded through empirical studies, that Multinational Enterprises, MNEs encounters various factors leading to lower debt ratios and a higher cost of long-term debt, such as greater agency costs, political risk, asymmetric information, and foreign exchange risk,
Hence, given the question above, the right answer is option D "In fact, each of these costs was higher for the MNE than for the domestic firm."
What is the present value of a perpetuity that pays you annual, end-of-year payments of $950? Use a nominal rate (monthly compounding) of 7.50%.
Answer:
The present value of the perpetuity is $12,242.27.
Explanation:
A perpetuity is an annuity that provide cash flow for an infinite period .Examples are Non -redeemable Preference Share.
Present Value (perpetuity) = Payments ÷ Required Rate
But, first change the 7.50 % nominal rate to Annual Effective Rate to match the period of Cash flow.
Effective Rate = (1 + r / m)^m - 1
= ( 1 + 0.0750 / 12) ^12 -1
= 7.76%
Therefore, Present Value (perpetuity) = $950 ÷ 7.76%
= $12,242.27
At the certain interest rate, present value (PV) is the current value of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows.
The discount rate determines the present value of the cash flows, and the higher the discount rate, the lower the current value of future cash flows.
The present value of the perpetuity is $12,242.27.
A perpetuity is an annuity that payments out during an indefinite period of time. Non-redeemable Preference Share is an example.
Present Value (perpetuity) = [tex]\frac{\text{Payments}}{\text{Required Rate}}[/tex]
However, to match the Working capital period, change a 7.50 percent nominal rate to a Yearly Effective Tax rate.
[tex]\text{Effective Rate} = (1 + \frac{r}{m} )^m - 1= [1 + \frac{0.0750}{12}]^{12} -1= 7.76\%[/tex]
Therefore, Present Value (perpetuity)= [tex]\frac{\$950}{7.76\%} = $12,242.27[/tex]

An injunctive relief is an order by the court stopping an action from taking place. From the question, we are told that Sam has contracted with Dave to buy Dave's racing bike, with payment and delivery of the bicycle to be made 10 days after the contract was made.
We are further told that three days later Sam hears that Dave is going to sell the bike to Gene in three days at a higher price. If Sam really wants the bike, he should seek injunctive relief. By doing so, the court will stop Dave from selling the bike to Gene.
Rally Quadcopters plans to sell a standard quadcopter (toy drone) for $45 and a deluxe quadcopter for $65. Rally purchases the standard quadcopter for $35 and the deluxe quadcopter for $45. Management expects to sell two deluxe quadcopters for every three standard quadcopters. The company's monthly fixed expenses are $14,700. How many of each type of quadcopter must Rally sell monthly to breakeven?
To earn $10,500?
First identify the formula to compute the sales in units at various levels of operating income using the contribution margin approach.
Answer:
Rally must sell 1,080 units of Standard and 720 units of Deluxe
Explanation:
Standard Deluxe Total
Sales price per unit $45 $65
Less: Variable cost ($35) ($45)
Contribution Margin per unit $10 $20
Sales Mix units (A) $3 $2 $5
Contribution margin $30 $40 $70
Weighted average Contribution $14
per unit C= B/A
Appointment of fixed cost between standard and deluxe
Total Fixed cost = 14,700
Break even point = Fixed cost / Weighted average Contribution per unit
= 14,700 / 14
= 1,050
Apportionment of Break even point sales between Standard and deluxe in sales mix ratio (3:2)
Standard = 1,050 * 3/5 = 630
Deluxe = 1,050 * 2/3 = 420
Unit to be sold to get desired profit = Fixed cost + Desired profit / Weighted average Contribution per unit
= (14,700 + 10,500) / 14
= 1,800
Apportionment of Units to be sold to get desired profit between Standard and Deluxe in sales mix ratio (3:2)
Standard = 1,800 * 3/5 = 1,080
Deluxe = 1,800 * 2/5 = 720
To reach target operating income, Rally must sell 1,080 units of Standard and 720 units of Deluxe

Praveen Co. manufactures and markets a number of rope products. Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year’s plans call for a $350 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $315,000, up to a maximum capacity of 550,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $245 per 100 yards of XT rope.
Required:
1. Estimate Product XT's break-even point in terms of (a) sales units and (b) sales dollars.
2. Prepare a CVP chart for Product XT. Use 7,000 units (700,000 yards/100 maximum number of sales units on the horizontal axis of the graph, and $1,400,000 as the maximum dollar amount on the vertical axis.

Lead time for one of your fastest-moving products is 24 days. Demand during this period averages 110 units per day. a) What would be an appropriate reorder point? nothing units (enter your response as a whole number). b) How does your answer change if demand during lead time doubles? nothing units (enter your response as a whole number). c) How does your answer change if demand during lead time drops in half? nothing units (enter your response as a whole number).
Answer:
a.) reorder point = 2,640 units
b.) reorder point = 5,280 units (reorder point doubles)
c.) reorder point = 1,320 units (reorder point drops in half)
Explanation:
Reorder point is the inventory level (point) at which action is taken (order placed) to replenish the stocked item. It is calculated as follows:
Reorder point = (Lead time × average daily sales) + safety stock
Lead time = 24 days
average daily sales = 110 units
safety stock = 0 (not given)
a.) reorder point = (Lead time × average daily sales) + safety stock
reorder point = (24 × 110) + 0 = 2,640 units
b.) if demand during lead time doubles:
lead time = 24 days
average daily sales = (110 × 2) = 220
∴ reorder point = 220 × 24 = 5,280 units
Therefore the reorder point doubles
c.) if demand during lead time drops in half:
lead time = 24 days
average daily demand = (110 ÷ 2) = 55 units
∴ reorder point = 24 × 55 = 1,320 units
Therefore the reorder point drops in half.

Answer:
financial disadvantage = $435,000 - $525,000 = ($90,000)
Explanation:
outside vendor offer: cost per unit $35 x 15,000 = $525,000
production costs:
direct materials $14 x 15,000 = $210,000 direct labor $10 x 15,000 = $150,000 variable manufacturing overhead $3 x 15,000 = $45,000 fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable $6 x 15,000 = $90,000 ($60,000 are non-avoidable) fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated $9 x 15,000 = $135,000 (all are non-avoidable) total cost $42 x 15,000 = $630,000avoidable production costs = $435,000
financial disadvantage = avoidable costs - cost to purchase carburetors from outside vendor = $435,000 - $525,000 = ($90,000)
If the price that determined where marginal revenue equaled marginal cost were below the bottom of the average variable cost curve, then the profit-maximizing, monopolistically competitive firm would
Answer: c. shut down because it would cost more to produce and sell output than it would to shut down and lose all fixed costs.
Explanation:
The profit maximizing, monopolistically competitive firm maximises profit at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal costs.
If this point is below Average variable costs then that means that the company is not making enough to cover its variable costs. Should this be the case then the company should shutdown operations because variable costs are only there when the company is producing. If they shutdown then they will no longer incur them which would be the cheaper option.
They would take losses on the fixed costs but these have already been incurred so it would be better to lose the fixed costs than continue to make losses on variable costs.
Fallow Corporation has two separate profit centers. The following information is available for the most recent year: West Division East Division Sales (net) $ 410,000 $ 560,000 Salary expense 47,000 61,000 Cost of goods sold 143,000 259,000 The West Division occupies 10,250 square feet in the plant. The East Division occupies 6,150 square feet. Rent, which was $ 82,000 for the year, is an indirect expense and is allocated based on square footage. Compute operating income for the West Division.
Answer:
$168,750
Explanation:
The data below are extracted from the above question.
West division
Sales (S) = $410,000
Salary expense (E) = $47,000
Cost of goods sold (C) = $143,000
Proportional rent (R) = $82,000 % of square footage
Area of the division = 10,250 square feet.
Total area of both division = 10,250 + 6,150
= 16,400 square feet
Therefore, the operating income (I) for the West Division is given by the amount of sales minus salary expenses , cost of goods sold and rent.
I = S - E - C - R
= $410,000 - $47,000 - $143,000 - (82,000 × 10,250 / 16,400)
= $220,000 - $51,250
= $168,750
The yearly operating income for Fallow's Corporation West Division is $168,750.
The smartest thing a firm involved in an oligopoly market could do is to cut their prices and capture more of the market share from their competitors.
a) We learned in class that the best move would be to raise prices.
b) We also learned that cutting prices on an elastic demand curve will be a smart way of getting more revenues.
c) Cutting prices is no gaurantee of success. Indeed if the firm does capture more market share and customers, then their costs will go up and it will be harder for them because they will have lower profit margins - if they can earn any profit at all.
d) Both A and C are correct.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
c) Cutting prices is no gaurantee of success. Indeed if the firm does capture more market share and customers, then their costs will go up and it will be harder for them because they will have lower profit margins - if they can earn any profit at all.
Explanation:
An oligopoly market is a market form wherein a market or industry is dominated by a small group of large sellers. A pure monopoly maximizes profits by producing that quantity where marginal revenue = marginal cost. however, it is much more difficult for an oligopoly to determine at what output it can maximize its profit.
The before-trade domestic price of tomatoes in the United States is $500 per ton. The world price of tomatoes is $400 per ton. The U.S. is a price-taker in the tomatoes market.
If trade in tomatoes is allowed, the United States:______
a) will experience increases in both consumer surplus and producer surplus.
b) may become either an importer or an exporter of tomatoes, but this cannot be determined.
c) will become an exporter of tomatoes.
d) will become an importer of tomatoes.
Answer:
d) will become an importer of tomatoes.
Explanation:
Consumer surplus would increase because the price at which they buy tomatoes would reduce while producer surplus would reduce because the price of tomatoes would reduce as a result of international trade.
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.Because the price of tomatoes in the US is greater than the price of tomatoes in the world, when the US begins international trade, it would import tomatoes because it is inefficient in the production of tomatoes.
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product

If a bank that faces a 10% reserve ratio received a deposit of $50,000 and makes a loan to a customer for $5,000, what is the consequence if the bank then deposits the rest of the funds at the Federal Reserve?
Answer:
Excess reserve increases by $40,000
Required reserve increases by $5,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the reserve, we need to multiply the Deposit received by a required reserve ratio.
DATA
Reserve ratio = 10%
Deposit received = $50,000
Loan to customer = $5,000
Solution
Reserve = Deposit x Required reserve ratio
Reserve = $50,000 x 10%
Reserve = $5,000
After providing a $5,000 loan to the customer and keeping $5,000 as a reserve remaining $40,000 would be deposited in the Federal Reserve.

he carrying value of Blossom’s net identifiable assets, including the goodwill, at year-end is $855,000. Prepare Cullumber’s journal entry, if necessary, to record impairment of goodwill.
Answer:
Goodwill Impairment (Debit)
Goodwill (Credit)
Explanation:
In case goodwill is impaired, then the entry to record this impairment will be Goodwill Impairment Debit and Goodwill Credit.
By crediting the Goodwill, the account will be reduced. This shows that the business is currently worth less than is accounted for. The Goodwill account is reduced to identify this difference.
The Impairment loss is an expense and must be reflected in the income statement. Therefore, while we reduce Goodwill amount from balance sheet. We record the expense on the income statement, which would mean that the current year profit amount will be reduced.

(3.21 x 53000 x contribution margin) - (3.21 x 175000) = 53000 x contribution margin
let C = contribution margin
170130C - 561750 = 53000C
117130C = 561750
C = 561750 / 117130 = 4.795953
operating cash flow (at 53,000) = (53,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $79,185.52
operating cash flow (at 57,000) = (57,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $98,369.32
% change = ($98,369.32 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = 24.23%
operating cash flow (at 46,000) = (46,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $45,613.84
% change in operating cash flows = ($45,613.84 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = -43.4%
% change in sales = (46,000 - 53,000) / 53,000 = -13.21
degree of operating leverage = $220,613.84 / $45,613.74 = 4.84
A production department’s beginning inventory cost includes $478,000 of conversion costs. This department incurs an additional $1,047,500 in conversion costs in the month of March. Equivalent units of production for conversion total 770,000 for March.Required:Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of conversion using the weighted-average method.
Answer: $1.98
Explanation:
Equivalent Units of Production are used when the manufacturers have not completely finished their products for the year. This helps them express it in terms of fully manufactured units.
Using the weighted average method, the cost per equivalent unit is;
= [tex]\frac{Beginning inventory cost + Cost of current production}{Equivalent units of production}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{478,000 + 1,047,500}{770,000}[/tex]
= $1.98

You purchased 1,000 shares of stock in Natural Chicken Wings, Inc., at a price of $43.37 per share. Since you purchased the stock, you have received dividends of $.95 per share. Today, you sold your stock at a price of $46.62 per share. What was your total percentage return on this investment?
Answer:
9.68%
Explanation:
Percent Return on Investment is calculated as Net Profit / Cost of Investment x 100
Net Profit= $46,620 (1,000 x $46.62 per share) + $950 (1,000 x $.95 per share) - $43,370 (1,000 x $43.37 per share) = $4,200
Cost of Investment= $43,370 (1,000 x $43.37 per share)
Percent Return on Investment= $4,200 / $43,370 x 100 = 9.68%

Two investment advisors are comparing performance. Advisor A averaged a 20% return with a portfolio beta of 1.5 and Advisor B averaged a 15% return with a portfolio beta of 1.2. If the T-bill rate was 5% and the market return during the period was 13%, which advisor was the better stock picker?
Answer:
Advisor A
Explanation:
t bill rate = 0.05
market rate = 0.13
the beta of the market is always 1
the rate of return= 0.05 + (0.13 - 0.05) x 1
= 0.13
which is 13%
this is for advisor A.
with a return of 20% and 1.5 beta
0.05 + ( 0.20 - 0.05) x 1.5
= 27.5% for advisor b
when the return is 15% and beta is 1.2
0.05 + (0.15 - 0.05) x 1.2
= 17%
Therefore advisor a is better
On July 1, 20X1, James and Short formed a partnership. James contributed cash. Short, previously a sole proprietor, contributed property other than cash, including realty subject to a mortgage, which the partnership assumed. Short’s capital account on July 1, 20X1, should be recorded at
Answer:
James and Short LLC
Short's capital account on July 1, 20X1 should be recorded at the fair value of contributed property minus the mortgage liability, which the partnership assumed.
Explanation:
The fair value of contributed property is the current market value of the contributed property by Short. It is the market value that will determine how the contributed property can be valued. The market value assumes that the contributed property is being sold in pieces and not as a whole. This is why the value is considered a fair basis for recognizing the capital contribution of Short into the partnership.
