The following data relate to the direct materials cost for the production of 50,000 automobile tires: Actual: 725,000 lbs. at $3.00 per lb. Standard: 730,000 lbs. at $2.95 per lb. a. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the material price variance is shown below:
= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)
= 725,000 × ($2.95- $3)
= 725,000 × $0.5
= $36,250 unfavorable
b. The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:
= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)
= $2.95 × (730,000 - 725,000)
= $2.95 × 5,000
= $14,750 favorable
And, the total direct material cost variance is
= Material price variance + material cost variance
= $36,250 unfavorable + 14,750 favorable
= $21,500 unfavorable
A customer who has routinely traded securities through your firm has placed an order to buy a security that is only listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange. To effect the transaction, your firm must use a correspondent broker-dealer located in Malaysia that charges large special handling fees to cover Malaysian securities transfer taxes. Which statement is TRUE
Answer:
the broker-dealer must notify the customer of the additional charges prior to executing the transaction
Explanation:
In such a scenario, the statement that would be completely true is that the broker-dealer must notify the customer of the additional charges prior to executing the transaction. Since the broker is acting on behalf of the customer, then the customer needs to be notified beforehand in order for him/her to be able to analyze and decide whether or not they still want to go ahead with the transaction.

The ratio of sales to invested assets, which is also a factor in the DuPont formula for determining the rate of return on investment, is called
Answer:
Investment turnover
Explanation:
Investment turnover is used to compare the revenue earned by a business to the invested assets (equity or debt). It measures how effectively the business is using investment to generate profit.
The number of times investment is converted to revenue is calculated using this method (that is the turnover).
This metric is used in the Dupont formula.
Dupont formula is a financial ratio that evaluates a company's ability to increase return on equity.
Three main components of the Dupont formula are: profit margin, total asset turnover, and financial leverage.
Bank's Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities and Owners' Equity $1,600 $250 Securities $1,000 Capital (owners' equity) $150 Reserves$200 Deposits Loans $800 Debt Suppose the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves.
This would increase the reserves account and ______ the ______ account.
This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of __________ to a new value of_______
Which of the following is true of the capital requirement?
a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.
b. A minimum leverage ratio for all banks.
c. Its intended goal is to protect the interests of those who hold equity in the bank.
Answer:
1. This would increase the reserves account and increase the debt account.
Borrowing refers to debt and so it will increase the debt account.
2. This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of 13.33 to a new value of 14.
The bank leverage ratio refers to its Assets divided by Capital (Owners equity).
Before the $100 was borrowed, the leverage ratio was;
= (Reserves + loans + securities)/Capital
= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000) / 150
= 13.33
After the $100 was borrowed
= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000 + 100) /150
= 14.
3. a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.
The capital requirement is meant to protect depositors in case the loans are defaulted on as the loans are created from the funds depositors bring in. Should the loans be defaulted on, they will be paid from the capital therefore if the bank holds more loans, it will have to hold more capital to ensure it can cover those loans.
New Morning Bakery is in the process of closing its operations. It sold its two-year-old bakery ovens to Great Harvest Bakery for $580,000. The ovens originally cost $778,000, had an estimated service life of 10 years, and an estimated residual value of $48,000. New Morning Bakery uses the straight-line depreciation method for all equipment. Required: 1. Calculate the balance in the accumulated depreciation account at the end of the second year.
Answer:
The balance in the accumulated depreciation account at the end of the second year is $146,000.
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed depreciation charge on the asset during its period of use.
Depreciation Expense (Straight line) = Cost - Residual Amount ÷ Estimated Useful life
= $778,000 - $48,000 ÷ 10
= $73,000
Therefore, for each year, a depreciation expense of $73,000 is charged to profit an loss.
Accumulated Depreciation Calculation :
Depreciation Expense : Year 1 $73,000
Depreciation Expense : Year 2 $73,000
Total Expense $146,000
A company sold equipment that originally cost $290,000 for $145,000 cash. The accumulated depreciation on the equipment was $145,000. The company should recognize a:
Answer:
$0 gain/loss
Explanation:
A company sold an equipment that originally cost $290,000 for $145,000
The accumulated depreciation on the equipment was $145,000
The first step is to calculate the book value of the equipment
Book value of the equipment= Cost of equipment-accumulated depreciation
= $290,000-$145,000
= $145,000
Therefore, the gain/loss on the equipment can be calculated as follows
= Selling price-book value
= $145,000-$145,000
= 0
Hence there is no recognized gain or loss on the equipment
Answer:
Company would recognize a no loss or gain on the disposal i.e Nil
Explanation:
The gain or loss on disposal is the difference between the carrying value of an assets at the point of disposal and the the disposal value.
Gains/(Loss)= Disposal value - carrying value
The carrying value is the difference between the historical cost and the accumulated depreciation till date.
Carrying value = Historical cost - Accumulated depreciation till date
Carrying value = 290,000 - 145,000 = 145 ,000
Gains/Loss= 145,000 - 145,000 = 0.
Company would recognize a no loss or gain on the disposal i.e Nil

Amos Manufacturing has two major departments. Management wants to compare their relative performance. Information related to the two departments is as follows:Division 1:Sales: $200,000Expenses: $150,000Asset investment: $950,000Division 2:Sales: $45,000Expenses: $35,000Asset investment: $200,000Based on ROI, which division is more profitable?a. Division 1b. Both divisions have the same ROI ratioc. Division 2
Answer:
Division A is doing better and his more profitable because it has a higher ROI than Division B
Explanation:
Return on Investment is the proportion of operating assets that an investment center earned as as net operating income.
ROI is measure of the returned earned by a division relative to the amount invested in the assets used to generate the return.
It is calculated as follows
ROI = operating income/operating assets
Division A
Net operating income = Sales - expenses
Net operating income = 200,000 - 150,000 = 50,000
Operating assets = 950,000
ROI = 50,000/950,000× 100 = 5.26 %
Division B
Net operating income = 45,000 - 35,000 = 10,000
Operating assets = 200,000
ROI = 10,000/ 200,000 × 100 = 5 %
Division A is doing better and his more profitable because it has a higher ROI than Division B
g A decrease in the basis will __________ a long hedge and __________ a short hedger. Group of answer choices hurt; hurt hurt; benefit benefit; have no effect upon benefit; benefit benefit; hurt
Answer:
1. hurt
2. benefit
Explanation:
Given that a contract and an asset are to be converted in cash early, this implies that, basis risk exists and futures price and spot price should not move in lockstep before delivery date. However, a reduction in the basis will then hurt the long hedger and benefit the short hedger.
Hence, considering the nature of the hypothetical situation, a decrease in the basis will HURT a long hedge and BENEFIT a short hedge.

What this means is that each site in the network operate independently of the other sites.
A site is thus an autonomous entity but still part of the concentrated network
Which of the following stocks is less risky? Stock Average Return Standard Deviation Coefficient of Variation X 10% 40% 4 Y 20% 40% 2
Answer:
Stock X has a CV of 4 while Stock Y has a CV of 2. As stock Y has a lower CV than Stock X, it is less riskier.
Explanation:
The coefficient of variation is a statistical model which is also used to determine the volatility per unit of a factor. In terms of a stock, the coefficient of variation calculates the volatility of its return. It is calculated by dividing the stock's standard deviation, which is a measure of risk, by the stock's mean return or expected return.
CV = SD / r
Where,
CV is coefficient of variationSD is standard deviationr is expected returnThe CV of a stock tells us the risk per unit of return. The higher the CV, the riskier the stock and vice versa.
Stock X has a CV of 4 while Stock Y has a CV of 2. As stock Y has a lower CV than Stock X, it is less riskier.
Steelcase Inc. (SCS) is one of the largest manufacturers of office furniture in the United States. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, it assembles filing cabinets in an Assembly Department. Assume the following information for the Assembly Department: Direct labor per filing cabinet 18 minutes Supervisor salaries $250,000 per month Depreciation $18,500 per month Direct labor rate $28 per hourRequired:Prepare a flexible budget for 70,000, 80,000, and 90,000 filing cabinets for the month ending February 28 in the Assembly Department.
Answer:
Total department cost of 70,000 units = $856,500
Total department cost of 80,000 units = $940,000
Total department cost of 90,000 units = $1,024,500
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the flexible budget.
A flexible budget is a budget that changes, flexes or adjusts as the volume, activity or unit of production changes.
For this question, the direct labor cost for each unit can be calculated as follows:
Direct labor time per filing cabinet in minutes = 18
Number of minutes in one hour = 60
Direct labor rate per minute = Direct labor rate per hour / Number minutes in one hour = $28 / 60 = $0.466666666666667
Direct labor cost per filing cabinet = Direct labor time per filing cabinet in minutes * Direct labor rate per minute = 18 * $0.466666666666667 = $8.40
Direct labor cost of a particular units of production = Direct labor cost per filing cabinet * Number of units of production ................... (1)
Using equation (1), the Direct labor cost of different units of production used in the attached excel file is calculated as follows:
Direct labor cost of 70,000 units = $8.40 * 70,000 = $588,000
Direct labor cost of 80,000 units = $8.40 * 80,000 = $672,000
Direct labor cost of 90,000 units = $8.40 * 90,000 = $756,000
An all-equity firm is considering the following projects:
Project Beta IRR
W .85 8.9%
X .92 10.8
Y 1.09 12.8
Z 1.35 13.3
The T-bill rate is 4 percent, and the expected return on the market is 11 percent.
a. Which projects have a higher expected return than the firm's 11 percent cost of capital?
b. Which projects should be accepted?
c. Which projects would be incorrectly accepted or rejected if the firm's overall cost of capital were used as a hurdle rate?
Answer:
Projects Y and Z
b. Projects W and Z
c. Projects W and Y
Explanation:
CAPM equation : Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta x (Expected market return - Risk free rate)
W = 4% + [0.85 x (11% - 4%)] = 9.95%
X = 4% + (0.92 x 7%) = 10.44%
Y = 4% + (1.09 x 7%) = 11.63%
Z = 4% + (1.35 x 7%) = 13.45%
Projects Y and Z have an expected return greater than 11%
b. Projects W and Z should be accepted because its expected return is higher than the IRR
c. Project W would be incorrectly rejected because the expected rate of return is less than the overall cost of capital (i.e. 9.95 is less than 11). But its expected rate of return is greater than the IRR
Y would be incorrectly accepted because its expected rate of return is greater than the overall cost of capital but its expected rate of return is less than the IRR
A company is considering a project with a beta of 0.5 while the company’s beta is 2.0. How should the company adjust its WACC to reflect the riskiness of the project? g
Answer: decrease
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital is a vital calculation that is used in finance to know whether the return on an investment will meet or exceed exceed a project or an asset.
If a company is considering a project with a beta of 0.5 while the company’s beta is 2.0, to reflect the riskiness of the project, the WACC will be reduced.

Refer to the following scenario to answer the following questions.
Five fishermen live in a village and have no other employment or income-earning possibilities besides fishing. They each own a boat that is suitable for fishing but does not have any resale value. Fish are worth $5 per pound, and the marginal cost of operating the boat is $500 per month. They all fish a river next to the village. According to the following schedule, they have determined that when there are more of them out on the river fishing, they each catch fewer fish per month.
Boats Fish Caught per
Boat (pounds)
1 200
2 190
3 175
4 155
5 130
How many fishermen will choose to operate their boats?
Answer:
5 fishermen will choose to operate their boats as each of them will earn a profit of $150
Explanation:
Per boat operating cost = $500 per month.
Price of fish = $5 per pound.
There are 5 fishermen and each fishermen has 1 boat.
For 1 boat
Total revenue = Price * quantity = $5 * 200 = $1,000
Cost = $500
Profit = Total revenue - Cost = 1000 - 500
Profit = $500.
For 2 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = $5 * 190 = $950
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = Total revenue - Cost = 950 - 500
Profit of each boat = $450.
For 3 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 175 = $875
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 875 - 500
Profit of each boat = $375
For 4 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 155 = $775
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 775 - 500
Profit of each boat = $275
For 5 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 130 = $650
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 650 - 500
Profit of each boat = $150.
Conclusion: As there are 5 fishermen and if all of them out on the river at the same time then each fisherman earns profit of $150. As all fishermen earns profit hence all of them will choose to operate their boats. Therefore, 5 fishermen will be ready to operate their boats.
All About Animals has two product lines: Cat food and Dog food. Contribution margin income statement data for the most recent year follow:
Total Cat Food Dog Food

Variable expenses $61,000 $21,000 $40,000
Contribution margin $374,000 $329,000 $45,000
Fixed expenses $101.000 $49,000 $52,000
Operating income (loss) $273,000 $280,000 $(7,000)
Assuming the Dog food is discontinued, total fixed costs remain unchanged, and the space formerly used to produce the line is rented for $26,000 per year, how will operating income be affected?
A. Increase $254,000
B. Decrease $19,000
C. Increase $527,000
D. Increase $19,000
Answer:
B. Decrease $19,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount affect the operating income is shown below
But before that first we need to find the new operating income
Total operating income for Cat Food $280,000
Less: Fixed costs for Dog Food ($52000)
Add: rented per year $26000
New net operating income $254000
Now decrease in net operating income is
= operating income - new operating income
= $273,000 - $254,000
= $19,000

The risk-free rate of return is 5%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 13%. The stock of Caribou Gold Mining Corporation has a beta of .5. Using the constant-growth DDM, the value of the stock is _________. A. $150 B. $50 C. $100 D. $200
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Caribou Gold Mining Corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $6 in the upcoming year. Dividends are expected to decline at the rate of 3% per year. The risk-free rate of return is 5%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 13%. The stock of Caribou Gold Mining Corporation has a beta of .5. Using the constant-growth DDM, the intrinsic value of the stock is _________. A. $150 B. $50 C. $100 D. $200
Answer:
$50
Explanation:
Caribou Gold mining corporation is expected to make a dividend payment of $6 next year
Dividend are expected to decline at a rate of 3%
= 3/100
= 0.03
The risk free rate of return is 5%
= 5/100
= 0.05
The expected return on the market portfolio is 13%
= 13/100
= 0.13
The beta is 0.5
The first step is to calculate the expected rate of return
= 0.05+0.5(0.13-0.05)
= 0.05+0.5(0.08)
= 0.05+0.04
= 0.09
Therefore, the intrinsic value of the stock using the constant growth DDM model can be calculated as follows
Vo= 6/(0.09+0.03)
Vo= 6/0.12
Vo= $50
Hence the intrinsic value of the stock is $50
The credit terms 2/10, n/30 are interpreted as: Multiple Choice 2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance due in 30 days. 30% discount if paid within 2 days. 2% discount if paid within 30 days. 30% discount if paid within 10 days. 10% cash discount if the amount is paid within 2 days, or the balance due in 30 days.
Answer:
The credit terms 2/10, n/30 are interpreted as:
2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance due in 30 days.Explanation:
I will explain using an example:
On January 2, the company sells $1,000 worth of goods with credit terms 2/10, n/30.
January 2
Dr Accounts receivable 1,000
Cr Sales revenue
If the client pays within the discount period:
January 11
Dr Cash 980
Dr Sales discounts 20
Cr Accounts receivable 1,000
If the client pays after the discount period but before 30 days:
January 31
Dr Cash 1,000
Cr Accounts receivable 1,000
The credit terms 2/10, and n/30 are interpreted as a 2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance is due in 30 days. Thus, option A is the correct option.
Trade credits like 2/10 net 30 are frequently provided by suppliers to purchasers. It stands for an agreement that if payment is made within 10 days, the buyer would get a 2% reduction on the net invoice amount. Otherwise, you have 30 days to pay the entire invoice amount.
It's a common way to express an early payment discount. In accounting, the discount amount and the window of availability are typically represented using a formula like 2/10, n/30.
