The Economic Order Quantity is when: holding costs equal ordering costs total costs are minimized the product cost is not considered to determine the quantity to be purchased all of the above none of the above
Answer: all of the above
Explanation:
At the Economic Order Quantity level, the company is enjoying the lowest cost possible in relation to product ordering and storage because they are ordering just enough quantities that they are able to sell them just in time to order some new goods.
For this to happen, the holding cost must be equal to the ordering costs. At the EOQ, the product cost is irrelevant when the quantity to be bought is to be determined because it is minimized.

Cary Inc. reported net credit sales of $300,000 for the current year. The unadjusted credit balance in its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is $500. The company has experienced bad debt losses of 1% of credit sales in prior periods. Using the percentage of credit sales method, what amount should the company record as an estimate of Bad Debt Expense?
a) $2,500
b) $3,000
c) $2,980
d) $3,200
Answer: b. $3,000
Explanation:
The company's bad debt for the current year is said to be 1% of the credit sales because this is the usual rate for the past periods.
The bad debt expense for this year is therefore:
= Bad debt percentage * Credit sales
= 1% * 300,000
= $3,000
This will then be posted to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.
At the end of the first year of operations, 6,400 units remained in the finished goods inventory. The unit manufacturing costs during the year were as follows:
Direct materials $75
Direct labor 35
Fixed factory overhead 15
Variable factory overhead 12
Determine the cost of the finished goods inventory reported on the balance sheet under (a) the absorption costing concept and (b) the variable costing concept.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The unit manufacturing costs during the year were as follows:
Direct materials $75
Direct labor 35
Fixed factory overhead 15
Variable factory overhead 12
Number of units= 6,400
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Absorption method:
Unit product cost= direct material + direct labor + total unitary overhead
Unit product cost= 75 + 35 + 15 + 12
Unit product cost= $137
Total ending inventory cost= 137*6,400
Total ending inventory cost= $876,800
Variable costing method:
Unit product cost= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead
Unit product cost= 75 + 35 + 12
Unit product cost= $122
Total ending inventory cost= 122*6,400
Total ending inventory cost= $780,800

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales units = 1,000,000
Selling price = $188
Total
Sales $188,000,000
Cost of goods sold (100,000,000)
Variable cost of goods sold = $70,000,000
Fixed cost of goods sold = $30,000,000
Gross profit $88,000,000
Expenses:
Selling expenses $16,000,000
Variable selling expenses $12,000,000
Fixed selling expense = $4,000,000
Administrative expenses 12,000,000
Variable administrative expenses = $6,000,000
Fixed administrative expenses = $6,000,000
Total expenses (28,000,000)
Operating income $60,000,000
The division of costs between variable and fixed is as follows:
Variable Fixed
Cost of goods sold 70% 30%
Selling expenses 75% 25%
Administrative expenses 50% 50%
Total Unit Cost
Variable cost of goods sold = $70,000,000 $70
Variable selling expenses 12,000,000 12
Variable administrative expenses 6,000,000 6
Total variable costs = $88,000,000 $88
Contribution margin = $100 ($188 - $88)
Fixed cost of goods sold = $30,000,000
Fixed selling expense = 4,000,000
Fixed administrative expenses = 6,000,000
Total fixed costs = $40,000,000
Break-even sales units = $40,000,000/$100 = 400,000 units
Proposal:
Sales revenue increase = $11,280,000
Fixed costs by $5,000,000 to $45,000,000 ($40 million + $5 million)
Sales units increase = 60,000 ($11,280,000/$188)
Break-even sales units = 450,000 ($45,000,000/$100)
Units to realize target profit of $60,000,000:
= ($45,000,000 + $60,000,000)/$100
= $105,000,000/$100
= 1,050,000,000 units
Profit with the expanded plan
= Total contribution - Fixed Costs
= $100 * 1,060,000 - $45,000,000
= $106,000,000 - $45,000,000
= $61,000,000
With sales at current level of 1,000,000 units
Sales revenue = $188,000,000
Variable costs 88,000,000
Contribution $100,000,000
Fixed costs 45,000,000
Operating income $55,000,000

San Antonio Chair Inc. has direct labor cost standard of $14 per direct labor hour and an efficiency standard of 6 hours per chair. The actual results for the period when 30 chairs were built were 130 direct labor hours at an actual cost of $1,560. What is the direct labor cost variance
Answer:
Total direct labor variance= $960 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
We will separate the direct labor cost variance in rate and quantity variance. To calculate the direct labor rate and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (30*6 - 130)*14
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $700 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (14 - 12)*130
Direct labor rate variance= $260 favorable
Actual rate= 1,560/130= $12
Total direct labor variance= 700 + 260
Total direct labor variance= $960 favorable

Morales Corporation produces microwave ovens. The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $30, direct labor $20, variable manufacturing overhead $16, fixed manufacturing overhead $42, variable selling and administrative expenses $18, and fixed selling and administrative expenses $24. Its desired ROI per unit is $27.00. Compute its markup percentage using a total-cost approach. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50%.)
Answer:
111%
Explanation:
Computation to determine its markup percentage using a total-cost approach
First step
Variable cost per unit= Direct materials+Direct labor+Variable manufacturing overhead+Variable selling and administrative expenses
Variable cost per unit= $30+20+16+18
Variable cost per unit= $84
Second step
Fixed cost per unit= Fixed manufacturing overhead+Fixed selling and administrative expenses
Fixed cost per unit= $42+24
Fixed cost per unit= $66
Now let determine the Variable costing markup percentage
Variable costing markup percentage= (Desired ROI+Fixed cost per unit)*100/Variable cost per unit
Variable costing markup percentage= ($27+66)*100/84
Variable costing markup percentage=110.7 %
Variable costing markup percentage=111% (Approximately)
Therefore its markup percentage using a total-cost approach is 111%
Economic life of equipment: 5 years. Implicit interest rate and lessee's incremental borrowing rate: 9% semiannually. Fair value of the computers at January 1, 2021: $23 million. What is the interest revenue that Technoid would report for this lease in its 2021 income statement
Answer:
$3,411,922.19
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the interest revenue that Technoid would report for this lease in its 2021 income statement
First step is calculate interest for the first six months
Interest for the first six months=[$23,000,000-lease payment of 3,287,947) × 9%]
Interest for the first six months=$19,712,053×9%
Interest for the first six months=$1,774,084.77
Interest for the first six months=$1,774,085 (Approximately)
Second step is to calculate the interest for the second six months
Interest for the second six months=[$23,000,000 - lease payment of 3,287,947 - ($3,287,947 - $1,774,085)] × 9%
Interest for the second six months=($19,712,053-$1,513,862)×9%
Interest for the second six months=$18,198,191×9%
Interest for the second six months=$1,637,837.19
Now let determie the interest revenue using this formula
Interest revenue=Interest for the first six months+Interest for the second six months
Let plug in the formula
Interest revenue=$1,774,085+$1,637,837.19
Interest revenue=$3,411,922.19
Therefore the interest revenue that Technoid would report for this lease in its 2021 income statement is $3,411,922.19.

A beautiful bridge is being built over the river that runs through a major city in your state. The cost of the bridge is estimated at $600 million. Annual costs of the bridge will be $200,000, and the bridge is estimated to last a very long time. If accountants in city hall use 3% as the interest rate for analysis, what is the annualized cost of the bridge project
Answer:
$18.20 million
Explanation:
Net present value = Initial cost + (Annual cost/3%)
Net present value = $600 million + $200,000/3%
Net present value = $600 million + $6.67 million
Net present value = $606.67 million
Annualized cost = Net present value * 3%
Annualized cost = $606.67 million * 3%
Annualized cost = $18.20 million
So, the annualized cost of the bridge project is $18.20 million.

Its investment bankers have told Donner Corporation that it can issue a 25-year, 8.1% annual payment bond at par. They also stated that the company can sell an issue of annual payment preferred stock to corporate investors who are in the 40% tax bracket. The corporate investors require an after-tax return on the preferred that exceeds their after-tax return on the bonds by 1.0%, which would represent an after-tax risk premium. What coupon rate must be set on the preferred in order to issue it at par? (hint: a portion of dividends are tax-exempt for corporate investors).
The coupon rate must be set at 9.77%
The after-tax return on the bonds is:
= Annual payment rate * ( 1 - tax rate)
= 8.1% * ( 1 - 40%)
= 4.86%
The investors would like an after-tax return on preferred stock that is more than their bond return by 1% so they would like a preferred return of:
= 4.86% + 1%
= 5.86%
If the Preferred must be issued at par, its coupon rate must be equal its before-tax yield:
= After tax yield / ( 1 - tax rate)
= 5.86% / ( 1 - 40%)

Estimated wheels produced 40,000 10,000
Direct labor hours per wheel 1 3
Total estimated overhead costs for the two product lines are $770,000.
Required:
a. Calculate overhead rate.
b. Compute the overhead cost assigned to the car wheels and truck wheels, assuming that direct labor hours is used to allocate overhead costs.
A) Direct labor hrs for car wheels = estimated wheels *direct labor per wheel
40,000 *1hr = 40,000
Direct labor hrs for Truck
10,000 * 3hr= 30,000
total direct labor hrs 40,000+30,000 = 70,000 hrs
Overhead rate is total est oh cost/ total direct labor hrs
770,000/70,000= 11.00

Rachel is preparing to open her own raft rental business, cleverly named Rachel's Rafts. She figures out that her fixed costs will be $7,500 and her unit variable costs are $2 per raft. She plans to rent all 2,500 rafts she has on hand. What is Rachel's breakeven price
Answer:
selling price= $5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed cost= $7,500
Unitary variable cost= $2
Break-even point= 2,500 units
The break-even point is the number of units to sell to cover the fixed costs. At this level, net income is zero.
So given the costs structure and 2,500 units to sell, the selling price that provides the break-even point is:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ (selling price - unitary variable cost)
2,500 = 7,500 / (selling price - 2)
2,500selling price - 5,000 = 7,500
2,500selling price = 12,500
selling price = 12,500 / 2,500
selling price= $5

he next dividend payment by Savitz, Inc., will be $5.05 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 5 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $43 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
16.74%

During its most recent fiscal year, Raphael Enterprises sold 270,000 electric screwdrivers at a price of $17.10 each. Fixed costs amounted to $729,000 and pretax income was $999,000. What amount should have been reported as variable costs in the company's contribution margin income statement for the year in question
Answer:
$2,889,000
Explanation:
Sales units = 270,000 units
Sale Price = $17.10
Fixed cost = $729,000
Sales Value = 270,000 * $17.10
Sales Value = $4,617,000
Contribution Margin = Sales- Fixed cost
Contribution Margin = $4,617,000 - $729,000
Contribution Margin = $3,888,000
Variable Cost = Contribution margin- Pretax income
Variable Cost = $3,888,000 - $999,000
Variable Cost = $2,889,000
So, $2,889,000 is the amount that should have been reported as variable costs in the company's contribution margin income statement for the year in question.
