Mannisto Inc. uses the FIFO inventory cost flow assumption. In a year of rising costs and prices, the firm reported net income of $219,017 and average assets of $1,413,720. If Mannisto had used the LIFO cost flow assumption in the same year, its cost of goods sold would have been $36,220 more than under FIFO, and its average assets would have been $31,640 less than under FIFO.
Required:
Calculate the firm's ROI under each cost flow assumption (FIFO and LIFO).
Answer:
a) Under the FIFO method:-
ROI = 15.49%.
Under LIFO method:-
ROI = 13.2%
Explanation:
ROI = Net Income * 100 / Avverage assets.
a) Under the FIFO method
[tex]ROI= \frac{219017*100}{1413720} \\ROI = 15.49[/tex]
ROI = 15.49%.
Under LIFO method
[tex]ROI= \frac{182797*100}{1382080} \\ROI=13.2%[/tex]
ROI = 13.2%
Net income Under LIFO= Net income under FIFO-Increased cost of goods sold
= $219017-$36,220= $182797.
Average assets under LIFO= Average assets under FIFO-Average assets that are less under LIFO
= $1413720 - $31,640= $1382080.
Pharoah Construction Company earned $403,000 during the year ended June 30, 2017. After paying out $225,794 in dividends, the balance went into retained earnings. If the firm's total retained earnings were $847,042 at the end of fiscal year 2017, what were the retained earnings on its balance sheet on July 1, 2016
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above,
The retained earnings for June 2017
If net profit = retained earnings + dividend
Retained earnings = earnings - dividend payout
$403,000 - $225,794
= $177,206
Therefore, the retained earnings on it's balance sheet on July 1 2013 would be;
= Total retained earnings at the end of the fiscal year 2017 - Retained earnings
= $847,042 - $177,206
= $669,836

The following statements describe why profits for firms in a perfectly competitive industry tend to vanish in the long run. Select the explanation that most accurately reflects this scenario?
A) Firms try to increase supply to cover their costs if they experience losses, and this leads to zero profits.
B) Firms are unable to generate revenue over time because the demand for products drops.
C) When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market prices drop.
D) When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market, prices rise.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market the prices drop.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the microeconomics theory the perfect competitive market is characterized by the fact that there a lot of companies that sell an homogenous product and that are price takers of the market itself. So therefore that the only big difference in the firms are the costs and the prices that they have. Moreover, in the long run the firms are obtaining great profits so that leads to the enter of another more companies to the market and the supply rises the prices will have to go low so that will implicate as well a decrease in the prices of every company that now works in that industry.

Rolling Coast Inc. issued BBB bonds two years ago. These bonds provided a yield to maturity (YTM) of 11.5 percent. Long-term risk-free government bonds were yielding 8.7 percent at the time. The current risk premium on BBB bonds versus government bonds is half of what it was two years ago. If the risk-free long-term government bonds are currently yielding 7.8 percent, then at what interest rate should Rolling Coast expect to issue new bonds
Answer: 9.2%
Explanation:
The interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be calculated thus:
Firstly, we will calculate the previous risk premium on BBB bonds which will be:
= 11.5% - 8.7% = 2.8%
Then, the new risk premium on BBB bonds will be:
= Previous risk premium / 2
= 2.8% / 2
= 1.4%
Then, the interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be:
= 7.8% + 1.4%
= 9.2%
Anyina Corporation has an actual profit of $80,000. The break-even point is $500,000 and the variable expenses are 60% of sales. Given this information, the margin of safety, based on actual sales, is:
Answer:
Margin of safety = $200,000
Explanation:
Given:
Actual profit = $80,000
Break-even point = $500,000
Variable expenses = 60% of sales
Find:
Margin of safety
Computation:
Assume sales = a
So,
Variable expenses = 0.6a
Pv ratio = [(Sales - Variable expenses) / Sales]100
Pv ratio = [(a - 0.6a)/a]100
Pv ratio = 40%
Margin of safety = Profit / Pv ratio
Margin of safety = 80,000 / 40%
Margin of safety = $200,000

During the current year, assets increased from $11,000 to $19,000, and liabilities decreased from $9,000 to $7,500. If no additional capital contributions were made during the year, dividends totaled $4,000, and expenses totaled $21,000, determine total revenues for the year
Answer:
$34,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine total revenues for the year
Using this formula
Total revenues=Increase in Assets+Decreased in liabilities+Dividends+Expenses
Let plug in the formula
Total revenues=($11,000-$19,000)+($9,000-$7,500)+$4,000+$21,000

you need a 20-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $210,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at a 7.1 percent APR for this 240 month loan. However, you can afford monthly payments of $1,000, so you offer to pay off any remaining balance at the end of the loan in the form of a single balloon payment. HOw large will this balloon payment have ot be for you to keep your monthly payments at $1000
Answer: $337,869.73
Explanation:
Find out the future value of $1,000 given an interest rate of 7.1%. If this amount is less than the future value of $210,000, the difference is added to the final payment to come up with the balloon payment.
The APR needs to be made periodic:
= 7.1% / 12
The $1,000 payment is an annuity so this can be calculated as:
= Annuity * ( ( 1 + rate) ^ number of periods - 1) / rate
= 1,000 * ( ( 1 + 7.1/ 12%) ²⁴⁰ - 1) / 7.1/12%
= $527,297.83
Future value of $210,000
= 210,000 * ( 1 + 7.1/ 12%) ²⁴⁰
= $865,167.56
Balloon payment will be:
= 865,167.56 - 527,297.83
= $337,869.73
Installing an automated production system costing $300,000 is initially expected to save Zia Corporation $52,000 in expenses annually. If the system needs $7,500 in operating and maintenance costs each year and has a salvage value of $30,000 at year 10, what is the IRR of this system
Answer:
8.87%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-300,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 9 = $52,000 - $7,500 = $44500
Cash flow in year 10 = $44500 + $30,000 = $74500
IRR = 8.87%
To determine the value of IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
Problems and Applications Q6 The price of coffee fell sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations: Sean: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic. Yvette: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic. Bob: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time. Cho: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic. Eric: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic. Who could possibly be right
Answer:
YvetteBobChoExplanation:
Yvette was right because a perfectly inelastic supply means that the supply remains the same regardless of the price. With the supply remaining the same even though prices fell, enough people still bought regardless of the decrease in price that the quantity sold remained the same.
Bob was also right because the scenario painted is similar to the above. The supply increased when demand decreased which meant that even though there were less people demanding, there was more coffee being supplied such that quantity remained the same.
Cho was also correct because a perfectly inelastic demand means that the demand does not change in response to a change in price. With coffee being perfectly inelastic, people will buy the same quantity regardless so quantity sold remained the same.

Assume that an investor purchased a put option on BP with an exercise price of $1.900 for $0.0215 per unit. There are 31,250 units in a GBP options contract. At the time of the option expiration date, the spot price for GBP was $1.885. What was the net profit/loss on this option to the investor?
a. $203.125
b. $671.8750
c. $468.75
d. $1,140.625
Answer:
a. $203.125
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the net profit/loss on this option to the investor
Net profit/loss=((1.900 - 1.885) - 0.0215)(31,250)
Net profit/loss=(0.015-0.0215)*31,250
Net profit/loss=0.0065*31,250
Net profit/loss=$203.125
Therefore the net profit/loss on this option to the investor will be $203.125
The typical goal used when developing a process-oriented layout strategy is to: minimize the distance between adjacent departments. minimize the material handling costs. maximize the number of different tasks that can be performed by an individual machine. minimize the level of operator skill necessary. maximize job specialization.
Answer:
minimize the material handling costs.
Explanation:
A process-oriented layout is a strategic method or technique used by manufacturing companies to organize and develop their work areas (factories) based on the processes and activities being performed at each factory rather than on the product being manufactured.
Hence, the typical goal used when developing a process-oriented layout strategy is to minimize the material handling costs for each factory.
Process costing can be defined as a cost accounting method used for assigning manufacturing or production costs to the units of goods produced by a business firm over a specific period of time. It is mostly used by firms that produce a large quantity of homogeneous or similar products on a continuous basis. Process costing typically uses more than one Work in Process Inventory account because costing at each stage of production or manufacturing process.
ABC Company's production budget for October is based on 500 units. Standard unit cost for raw materials is $130 per unit ($10 per pound x 13 pounds per unit).
ABC's actual production in October= = 525 units.
The actual cost of materials used = $69,300 ($11 per pound x 12 pounds per unit).
Required:
a. Calculate the raw materials price variance for October. Is it favorable or unfavorable?
b. Calculate the raw materials usage variance for October. Is it favorable or unfavorable?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. Raw material price variance is
= (standard price - actual price) × actual quantity
= ($10 - $11) × ($69,300 ÷ $11)
= ($10 - $11) × 6,300
= $6,300 unfavorable
b. The raw material usage variance is
= (Standard quantity - actual quantity) × standard price
= (525 × 13 - 6,300) × $10
= $5,250 favorable
In this way it should be calculated
