The total factory overhead for Big Light Company is budgeted for the year at $403,750. Big Light manufactures two different products - night lights and desk lamps. Night lights is budgeted for 30,000 units. Each night light requires 1/2 hour of direct labor. Desk lamps is budgeted for 40,000 units. Each desk lamp requires 2 hours of direct labor.
a. Determine the total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year.
_________ direct labor hours
b. Determine the single plantwide factory overhead rate using direct labor hours as the allocation base. Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary.
________$ per direct labor hour
c. Determine the factory overhead allocated per unit for each product using the single plantwide factory overhead rate calculated in (b). Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary.
Night Lights _______$ per unit
Desk Lamps _______$ per unit
Answer:
a. Total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year = Direct labor hours for night lights + Direct labor hours for desk lamps
= 30,000*1/2 + 40,000*2
= 15,000 + 80,000
= 95,000 hours
b. Single plant-wide factory overhead rate using direct labor hours = Budgeted factory overhead / Budgeted factory hours
= $403,750 / 95,000 hours
= $4.25 per hour
c. Per unit factory overhead = Number of hours required to complete one unit * Factory overhead rate per hour
Night light
Per unit factory overhead = 0.5 * 4.25
Per unit factory overhead = $2.125 per unit
Desk lamp
Per unit factory overhead = 2 * 4.25
Per unit factory overhead = $8.50 per unit
The short-run cost function of a company is given by the equation TC=10000+50q, where TC is the total cost and q is the total quantity of output.
a. What is the company's fixed cost?
b. If the company produced 2,000 units of goods what would be its average variable cost?
c. What would be its marginal cost of production?
d. What would be its average fixed cost?
e. Suppose the company borrows money and expands its factory. Its fixed cost rises by $5,000 but its variable cost falls to $45/unit. The cost of interest also enters the equation. Each 1 point increase in the interest rate raises costs by $250. Write the new cost equation.
Answer:
a. 10000
b. 50
c. 50
d. 5
e. TC = 15000+5Q+250r
Explanation:
TC = 10000+50Q
a. the fixed cost Is 10000
b. variable cost, VC = 50Q
at q =2000 units,
average variable cost = [tex]\frac{VC}{Q}[/tex]
= 50Q/Q
= 50
C. Marginsal cost = d(tc)/dq = 50
d. the average fixed cost = 10000/q
= 10000/2000
= 5
e. the final cost would be = 10000+5000= 15000
the variable cost woul be calculated as= (50-45)Q = 5Q
Interest rate = 250r
the new cost equation = TC = 15000+5Q+250r
Three years ago, Kuley invested $32,200. In 2 years from today, he expects to have $50,300. If Kuley expects to earn the same annual return after 2 years from today as the annual rate implied from the past and expected values given in the problem, then in how many years from today does he expect to have exactly $87,200
Answer:
8.17 years(closest to 8 years )
Explanation:
The future value of $50,300, would be accumulated after 5 years of having made the investment(3 years+2 years=5 years)
As a result, we can determine the annual rate of return based on the future value in year 5 using the future value formula below:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
FV=future value=$50,300
PV=amount invested initially=$32,200
r=unknown=annual rate of return
n=5 years
$50,300=$32,200*(1+r)^5
$50,300/$32,200=(1+r)^5
$50,300/$32,200 can be rewritten as ($50,300/$32,200)^1
($50,300/$32,200)^1=(1+r)^5
divide index on both sides by 5
($50,300/$32,200)^(1/5)=1+r
r=($50,300/$32,200)^(1/5)-1
r=9.33%
Our next task is to determine how long( in years) it takes to accumulate a future value of $87,200 from today's point, which means we need to determine the value of the investment today( 3 years after making the investment)
FV=$32,200*(1+9.33%)^3
FV=value of investment today=$42,079.82
Lastly, we can ascertain when $42,079.82 today would become $87,200
$87,200=$42,079.82*(1+9.33%)^n
n=number of years=unknown
$87,200/$42,079.82=(1+9.33%)^n
$87,200/$42,079.82=1.0933^n
take log of both sides
ln ($87,200/$42,079.82)=n ln(1.0933)
n=ln ($87,200/$42,079.82)/ln(1.0933)
n=0.72863604/0.08920065
n=8.17 years( from today, approx 8 years)

The RRR Company has a target current ratio of 3.2. Presently, the current ratio is 4.1 based on current assets of $12,956,000. If RRR expands its fixed assets using short-term liabilities (maturities less than one year), how much additional funding can it obtain before its target current ratio is reached
Answer:
$888,750
Explanation:
The amount of additional funding required is the excess of revised current liabilities based on the current ratio is 3.2 compared with the current liabilities based on the current ratio of 4.1(the one we have currently).
Current ratio=current assets/current liabilities
Current situation:
current ratio=4.1
current assets=$12,956,000
current liabilities=unknown(let us assume it is X)
4.1=$12,956,000/X
4.1*X=$12,956,000
X=$12,956,000/4.1
X=$3,160,000
Revised situation:
target current ratio=3.2
current assets=$12,956,000
current liabilities=unknown(let us assume it is Y)
3.2=$12,956,000/Y
3.2*Y=$12,956,000
Y=$12,956,000/3.2
Y=$4,048,750
additional funding=$4,048,750-$3,160,000
additional funding increase=$888,750
The three categories of manufacturing costs comprising the cost of work in process are direct labor, direct materials, and: __________
a) direct expenses
b) indirect expenses
c) factory overhead
d) sales salaries expense
Answer:
C)) factory overhead
Explanation:
Manufacturing cost can be regarded as the sum of all the costs resources that is been consumed during the process of making a product. manufacturing cost can be classified as;
✓direct materials cost
✓ manufacturing overhead.
✓direct labor cost
It can be regarded as factor in total delivery cost. Direct Material Cost can be regarded as total cost that is incurred in purchasing of raw material and cost of other components such as packaging, as well as freight and storage costs by the company

A department that is capital-intensive most likely would use a predetermined departmental overhead rate based on which of the following activity bases?
a. units of direct material used
b. direct labor hours
c. direct labor cost
d. machine hours
Answer:
D)machine hours
Explanation:
It should be noted that department that is capital-intensive most likely would use a predetermined departmental overhead rate based on
machine hours.
A machine-hour can be regarded as measurement that is been used in applying factory overhead to manufactured goods. It's application is usually found in machine-intensive environments, environment whereby the amount of time that is expelled on processing by a machine is been regarded as largest activity that overhead allocations can be said to have based upon. Machine hour rate can be gotten by making division of the total running expenses of a machine by estimated number of hours for the machine to work at a specific period
3. The USD depreciates 2% versus the JPY. The USD appreciates 1% versus the MXN. What is the approximate appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY cross exchange rate
Answer:
The approximate appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY cross exchange rate is 3%.
Explanation:
The approximate appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY cross exchange rate can be stated using the folowing 3 steps.
Step 1. State the initial exchange rates of the currency pairs.
Let first assume the initial exchange rates are as follows:
USD1 = JPY1
USD1 = MXN1
Therefore, we have the initial cross rate as follows:
MXN1 = USD1 = JPY1
MXN1 = JPY1
Step 2. Determine the new exchange rates
The new exchange rates can be determined as follows:
When the USD depreciates 2% versus the JPY, this implies that USD1 * (100% + 2%) = USD1.02 has to be exchanged for JPY1. Therefore, we now have:
USD1.02 = JPY1, or
USD1 = JPY1/1.02
USD1 = JPY0.98
Also, when The USD appreciates 1% versus the MXN, this implies that USD1 * (100% - 1%) = USD0.99 has to be exchanged for MXN1. Therefore, we now have:
USD0.99 = MXN1, or
USD1 = MXN1/0.99
USD1 = MXN1.01
Therefore, we have the new cross rate as follows:
MXN1.01 = USD1 = JPY0.98
MXN1.01 = JPY0.98
MXN1.01 / 1.01 = JPY0.98/1.01
MXN1 = JPY0.97, or
MXN1/0.97 = JPY0.97/0.97
MXN1.03 = JPY1
Therefore, the new exchange rates are as follows:
USD1.02 = JPY1
USD0.99 = MXN1
MXN1.03 = JPY1
c. Determination of appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY
Percentage of depreciation of MXN against JPY = ((Initial MXN/JPY - New MXN/JPY) / Initial MXN/YPY) * 100 = ((1.03 - 1) / 1) * 100 = 3%
Since the percentage of depreciation of MXN against JPY is 3%, this also implies that the percentage of appreciation of JPY against MXN is 3%.
Therefore, the approximate appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY cross exchange rate is 3%.
Pottery Ranch Inc. has been manufacturing its own finials for its curtain rods. The company is currently operating at 100% of capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 61% of direct labor cost.

Production costs:
Variable manufacturing costs per unit:
Direct materials per unit $4.00
Direct labor per unit $5.00
Variable manufacturing per unit $3.05
Total variable manufacturing costs $12.05 $13.30 $1.25
Annual units of curtain rods 26,400 26,400 26,400
Variable manufacturing costs $318,120 $351,120 $33,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production capacity = 100%
Variable manufacturing overhead = 61% of direct labor cost
Direct materials per unit = $4
Direct labor per unit = $5
Variable manufacturing per unit = $3.05 (61% of $5)
Total variable manufacturing cost per unit = $12.05
Normal production per year = 26,400 units
Total variable manufacturing costs = $318,120 ($12.05 * 26,400)
Fixed manufacturing overhead = $40,400
What is the present value of the annual interest payments on a 10-year, $1,000 par value bond with a coupon rate of 10 percent paid annually, if the yield on similar bonds is 9 percent?
Answer: $641.77
Explanation:
First find the interest payments:
= Coupon rate * par value
= 10% * 1,000
= $100
The constant payment represents an annuity therefore the present value is that of an annuity.
Present value of an annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 9% , 10 years
= 100 * 6.4177
= $641.77

Big Chill, Inc. sells portable dehumidifier units at the current price of $184. Unit variable costs are $85. Fixed costs, made up primarily of salaries, rent, insurance and advertising, are $3,236,000. Calculate breakeven sales for Big Chill, Inc. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
$6,014,384
Explanation:
Break even point is the level at which a firm makes neither profit nor a loss. This is the point where Profit = $0.
Break even units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
therefore,
Break even units = $3,236,000 ÷ ($184 x $85)
= 32,687 units
thus,
Breakeven Sales = 32,687 units x $184 = $6,014,384

An educational institution has total direct labor and material costs of $1964 per student. Its fixed costs are $352,800. Total revenues for the year were $1,800,000. It had 800 students in the past year. How many students should they accept in the next year to break even assuming the variable cost margins are equal to this year, and assuming fixed costs are to increase by $19,000 due to increased rent for expansion? (round to the nearest whole number).
Answer:
1300 students
Explanation:
The computation of the no of students to be accepted for break even is given below:
Fixed cost is
= $352,800 + $19,000
= $371,800
Revenue per student is
= $1,800,000 ÷ 800
= 2250
And,
Variable cost per student = 1964
So,
Contribution margin = Revenue - Variable cost
= $2,250 - $1,964
= $286
Break even point is
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= 371800÷ 286
= 1300 students
Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium. Concerns about pollution cause the government to significantly restrict the production of electricity. At the same time, the value of the dollar falls. What would we expect to happen in the short run?
a. The price level will rise, and real GDP might rise, fall, or stay the same.
b. The price level will fall, and real GDP might rise, fall, or stay the same.
c. Real GDP will rise, and the price level might rise, fall, or stay the same.
d. Real GDP will fall, and the price level might rise, fall, or stay the same.
Answer:
the price level will rise, and real GDP might rise, fall, or stay the same.
Explanation:
Short run
In microeconomics, it is simply defined as the timeframe when all resource prices (including wages) are constant not changing.
Long run
This is also known as the period of time when all resource prices (including wages) change/is altered or do not remain the same.
Long-run equilibrium can change with constant long run aggregate supply (LRAS) and potential output thereby leading to changes only in the price level and this can cause inflation. Due to the changing LRAS, causing an increase in potential output leading to economic growth or decreasing potential output leading to negative growth.
You enter into a forward contract to buy a 10-year, zero coupon bond that will be issued in one year. The face value of the bond is $1000 and the one-year and 11-year spot interest rates are 5 and 7 percent respectively. What is the forward price of your contract
Answer:
$498.94
Explanation:
1 year interest rate = 5%
11 year interest rate = 7%
10 year spot interest rate at end of 1 year = [{(1+0.07)^11 / (1+0.05)}^(0.1) - 1]
10 year spot interest rate at end of 1 year = [(2.104852/1.05)^0.1] - 1
10 year spot interest rate at end of 1 year = 1.07202083615 - 1
10 year spot interest rate at end of 1 year = 0.072021
10 year spot interest rate at end of 1 year = 7.202%
Face value = $1,000
Forward Price of contract = $1000/(1+0.0720)^10
Forward Price of contract = $1000/2.00423136
Forward Price of contract = 498.944392915
Forward Price of contract = $498.94

Your best friend has an idea for a drive-through bar. Indicate the best explanation for why others have not taken advantage of her idea.
A. Unprofitable.
B. Government intervention.
C. True innovation.
D. Market failure.
Answer: B. Government intervention.
Explanation:
A Drive-through bar could be very profitable as it involves people simply pulling up to a window, ordering alcohol and driving away with it. It is not very workable though because it is dangerous.
Drinking and driving is one of the highest causes of road accidents and a drive-through bar is literally encouraging people to do that. The government has therefore intervened by enacting laws to limit the trading of liquor in such ways so as to reduce the instance of road accident.
A firm expects to sell 25,000 units of its product at $11 per unit. Pretax income is predicted to be $60,000. If the variable costs per unit are $5, total fixed costs must be:
Answer:
$90,000
Explanation:
Income = Contribution - Fixed Costs
hence,
Fixed Costs = Contribution - Income
therefore
Fixed Costs = (25,000 x $6) - $60,000
= $150,000 - $60,000
= $90,000
thus,
total fixed costs must be $90,000.
Suppose that you own 1,300 shares of Nocash Corp. and the company is about to pay a 25% stock dividend. The stock currently sells at $100 per share.
a. What will be the number of shares that you hold after the stock dividend is paid?
b. What will be the total value of your equity position after the stock dividend is paid?
c. What will be the number of shares that you hold if the firm splits five for four instead of paying the stock dividend?
Answer:
a. Number of shares held after stock dividend:
= Current number of shares + (Current number of shares * Stock dividend percentage)
= 1,300 + ( 1,300 * 25%)
= 1,300 + 325
= 1,625 shares
b. Total value of equity position after stock dividend:
Stock dividend does not change the market value of equity as it reduces the price of each stock so the total value will be the same as before the stock dividend:
= 1,300 * 100
= $130,000
c. Number of shares if shares are split:
= Number of shares * split percentage
= 1,300 * 5/4
= 1,625 shares
