The option available for Roddie would be "Roddie has no options under ADEA."
To understand this, we need to go through the terms of 'Age Discrimination Policy in Employment Act;'
This Act covers the cases of employees or workers aging either 40 or above who have suffered age-based discrimination.The people aging under 40 are not covered under this act and hence, the benefits can not be reaped by them in any situation. This law doesn't allow the process of giving preference to an older employee over the younger to be considered illegal.Hence, Roddie has no available options under ADEA as he is below 40(in fact only 30 years old) and he cannot claim under ADEA for justice.

Bluebean Inc. produces two lines of coffee cups: espresso coffee cups and travel coffee mugs. The unit cost information is shown here. The company uses a traditional volume-based costing system and believes that the number of labor hours is the appropriate cost driver
Activity Cost Pool Espresso Coffee Cups Travel Coffee Mugs
Selling price $20 $25
Direct materials $6 $8
Direct labor $2 $5
Units produced 10,000 units 4,000 units
Direct labor hours 10,000 hours 6,000 hours
Estimated total overhead costs $80,000
Item Espresso coffee cups Travel coffee mugs
Pre-determined overhead rate
Total manufacturing overhead allocated
Manufacturing cost per unit
Gross profit unit
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 80,000 / (10,000 + 6,000)
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Espresso coffee cups= 5*10,000= 50,000
Travel coffee mugs= 5*6,000= 30,000
In unitary bases:
Espresso coffee cups= 50,000/10,000= 5
Travel coffee mugs= 30,000/4,000= 7.5
Finally, the total unitary cost and the gross profit per unit:
Espresso coffee cups:
Total unitary cost= 6 + 2 + 5= $13
Gross profit= 20 - 13= $7
Travel coffee mugs:
Total unitary cost= 8 + 5 + 7.5= $20.5
Gross profit= 25 - 20.5= $4.5

Swifty Corporation is unsure of whether to sell its product assembled or unassembled. The unit cost of the unassembled product is $24 and Swifty would sell it for $56. The cost to assemble the product is estimated at $20 per unit and the company believes the market would support a price of $69 on the assembled unit. What decision should Swifty make
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Assembled product
Cost = $24 + $20 = $44
Selling price = $69
Profit = $69 - $44 = $25
Unassembled product
Cost = $24
Selling price = $56
Profit = $56 - $24 = $32
Therefore, Swifty corporation should sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $7
ABC Construction, Inc., has buildings and equipment of $315,600, long-term debt of $154,700, accounts payable of $52,000, cash of $9,800, accounts receivable of $18,300, inventory of $62,000, and retained earnings of $147,000. What is the total equity of the firm
Answer:
199,700
Explanation:
Equity= Assets- liabilities
Assests= 315,600+9800+18300+62000
= 405,700
Liabilities= 154,000+52,000
= 206,000
Equity= 405,700-206,000
= 199,700
Given the following information, determine the amount of cash on the balance sheet, assuming that the company has only three assets.
Liabilities equal $3,350
Owner's equity equals $28,000
Supplies equal $2,000
Land equals $23,500
Answer:
Cash balance = $5850
Explanation:
Below is the given values and calculations:
Liabilities = $3350
Equity = $28000
Supplies = 2000
Land = $23500
Cash on the balance sheet can be determined by subtracting the sum of supplies and land from the sum of liability and equity.
Cash balance = (28000 + 3350) - (2000 + 23500)
Cash balance = $5850
Fortune Drilling Company acquires a mineral deposit at a cost of $5,900,000. It incurs additional costs of $600,000 to access the deposit, which is estimated to contain 2,000,000 tons and is expected to take 5 years to extract. What journal entry would be needed to record the expense for the first year assuming 418,000 tons were mined
Answer and Explanation:
the journal entry is given below:
Depletion Expense $1,358,500
To Accumulated Depletion $1,358,500.
(Being depletion expense is recorded)
Here the depletion expense is debited as it increased the expense and credited the accumulated depreciation as it decreased the assets
Working note
Depletion expense is
= ($5,900,000 + $600,000) ÷ $2,000,000 × 418,000
= $1,358,500
A company with excess capacity must decide between scrapping or reworking units that do not pass inspection. The company has 19,000 defective units that cost $5.30 per unit to manufacture. The units can be a) sold as is for $2.50 each, or b) reworked for $4.80 each and then sold for the full price of $7.80 each. What is the incremental income from selling the units as scrap and reworking and selling the units
Answer:
If the company reworks the units, income will increase by $9,500 (57,000 - 47,500).
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sell as-is:
Selling price= $2.5
Rework:
Selling price= $7.8
Incremental unitary cost= $4.8
We need to determine the impact of each option on the income:
Sell as-is:
Effect on income= 2.5*19,000= $47,500 increase
Rework:
Effect on income= 19,000*(7.8 - 4.8)
Effect on income= $57,000 increase
If the company reworks the units, income will increase by $9,500 (57,000 - 47,500).
Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $350, the unit variable cost is $290, and the total fixed costs are $780,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $390.
Required:
a. Compute the current break-even sales (units).
b. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased to the proposed $390, and all costs remain constant.
Solution :
a). [tex]\text{The contribution margin per unit = }[/tex][tex]\text{selling price per unit - variable cost per unit}[/tex]
= $ 350 - $ 290
= $60
The current break even sales = [tex]$\frac{\text{fixed cost}}{\text{contribution margin per unit}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{780,000}{60}$[/tex]
= 13,000 units
Therefore, the current break-even sales (units) = 13,000 units
b). The Contribution Margin Ratio = Selling Price Per Unit - Variable Cost Per Unit
= $390 - $290
= $ 100
[tex]$\text{Break even sales}=\frac{\text{fixed cost}}{\text{contribution margin per unit}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{780,000}{100}$[/tex]
= 7,800 units.
So, the answer is 7800 units.

Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $58,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $63,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $388,250. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $614,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer: $2.05 per unit
Explanation:
First find out the Equivalent units for materials:
= Units started and completed + Ending work in process
= 180,000 + 37,500
= 217,500 units
Find out total cost of materials:
= Costs in beginning Work in Process for materials + Cost incurred in February
= 58,000 + 388,250
= $446,250
Cost per equivalent unit:
= Total costs / Equivalent units
= 446,250 / 217,500
= $2.05 per unit
A firm sells two products, Regular and Ultra. For every unit of Regular the firm sells, two units of Ultra are sold. The firm's total fixed costs are $1,536,000. Selling prices and cost information for both products follow. What is the firm's break-even point in units of Regular and Ultra?
Answer:
regular - 32,000
ultra - 64,000
Explanation:
Please find the remaining part of this question in the attached image
Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit
Contribution margin :
Regular = 22 - 8 = 14
Ultra = 25 - 8 = 17
weighted contribution margin = (1/3 x 14) + (2/3 x 17) = 16
Firms breakeven = $1,536,000 / $16 = 96,000
Regular's breakeven = 1/3 x 96,000 = 32,000
Ultra's breakeven = 2/3 x 96,000 = 64,000
Refer to Exhibit 15-5. Assume that the economy starts out in short-run equilibrium. An economist who believes that the economy is not self-regulating would assert that the government should use _________________ fiscal policy to close the existing ___________________ gap.
Answer: b. Contractionary; Inflationary gap
Explanation:
If the economy starts out at the short-run, the GDP would be higher than the GDP if we were using the Long Run Aggregate Supply Curve which shows what the potential GDP is.
This means that the Actual GDP is higher than the potential GDP and when this happens there will be an inflationary gap because prices will be higher than they should be as the economy is overheated.
In order to close this inflationary gap, the government should embark on contractionary fiscal policies that would reduce economic activity and bring GDP down to the potential level.
Merone Company allocates materials handling cost to the company's two products using the below data:
Modular Homes Prefab Barns
Total expected units produced 6,600 9,600
Total expected material moves 660 260
Expected direct labor-hours per unit 860 360
The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $228,300. If the materials handling cost is allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours, the total materials handling cost allocated to the prefab barns is closest to:
a. 164,883.33
b. $91,576.16
c. $106,275.00
d. $86,400.00
Answer:

Explanation:
The computation of the total materials handling cost allocated to the prefab barns is given below:
Total Materials Handling Cost is $228,300
Total is
= 6600 ×860 + 9600 × 360
= $5,676,000 + $3,456,000
= $9,132,000
Allocation Rate = Total Materials Handling Cost ÷ Total direct labor hours
= $228,300 ÷ $9,132,000
= $0.025
Now
Total Materials Handling Cost allocated to prefab barns is
= Allocation Rate× direct albor hours for Modular Homes
= $0.025 × $3,456,000
= $86,400
Minor Company installs a machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $135,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 300,000 units of product, with a $15,000 salvage value. During its first year, the machine produces 64,500 units of product. Determine the machines' first year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method. Multiple Choice $66,000. $25,800. $24,000. $54,000. $48,000.
Answer:
$24,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the machines' first year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method.
Using this formula
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value)/Estimated Useful Life
Let plug in the formula
Depreciation Expense = ($135,000 - $15,000)/5
Depreciation Expense=$120,000/5
Depreciation Expense= $24,000
Therefore the machines' first year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method is $24,000

Answer:
$2,900
Explanation:
Computation for Wild's net cash provided (used) by operating activities.
Net income adjustments $81,000
Less increase in accounts receivable ($8,100)
$72,900
Less reported net loss $70,000
Net cash provided (used) by operating activities $2,900
($72,900-$70,000)
Therefore net cash provided (used) by operating activities will be $2,900
Beta Inc. can produce a unit of Zed for the following costs: Direct material $ 10 Direct labor 20 Overhead 50 Total costs per unit $ 80 An outside supplier offers to provide Beta with all the Zed units it needs at $58 per unit. If Beta buys from the supplier, it will still incur 40% of its overhead. Beta should:
Answer: Beta should buy from the outside supplier
Explanation:
If Beta produces the product itself, only avoidable costs would be accounted for:
= Direct labor + Direct material + Unavoidable overhead
= 10 + 20 + ( (1 - 40%) * 50)
= 10 + 20 + 30
= $60
If however, Beta buys the product, they will buy at $58 per unit which is less than the $60 they would make it for.
Beta should buy the product because they will be able to save $2 per unit.
Ace Products has a bond issue outstanding with 15 years remaining to maturity, a coupon rate of 9% with semiannual payments of $45, and a par value of $1,000. The price of each bond in the issue is $1,180.00. The bond issue is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,090.
Required:
a. What is the bond's nominal annual yield to maturity (YTM)?
b. What is the bond's nominal annual yield to call (YTC)?
c. Assuming interest rates remain at current levels, will the bond issue be called?
Answer:
a. Nper = 30
PMT = 45
FV = `1000
Price Pv = -1180
Rate (YTM) = ?
Using the MsExcel Rate function to derive YTM
Nominal annual yield to maturity = Rate(Nper, Pmt, -Pv, Fv) * 2
Nominal annual yield to maturity = Rate(30, 45, -1180, 1000) * 2
Nominal annual yield to maturity = 7.04%
b. Nper = 10
PMT = 45
Call Price = 1090
Price Pv = -1180
Rate (YTC) = ?
Using the MsExcel Rate function to derive YTM
Nominal annual yield to call = Rate(Nper, Pmt, -Pv, Fv) * 2
Nominal annual yield to call = Rate(10, 45, -1180, 1090) * 2
Nominal annual yield to call = 6.31%
C. Yes, the bond issue should call because the YTC is less than the YTM.

Job candidates are leaving an office every 50 minutes. Each candidate goes through three activities during the office visit: verification, written test, and interview. Verification takes 1 minute, the written test takes 40 minutes, and the interview takes 10 minutes. Assume there is only one resource dedicated to each activity. What is the utilization of the bottleneck resource?
Answer:
80%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the utilization of the bottleneck resource
First step is to calculate the Flow rate
Flow rate = 1/50
Flow rate = 0.02 customer per minute.
Second step is to calculate the Bottleneck capacity
Bottleneck capacity = Min(1, 1/40, 1/10)
Bottleneck capacity= 0.025 customer per minute.
Now let determine the Utilization of the bottleneck resource using this formula
Utilization of the bottleneck resource = Flow rate/Capacity
Let plug in the formula
Utilization of the bottleneck resource= 0.02/0.025
Utilization of the bottleneck resource= 80%.
Therefore the utilization of the bottleneck resource is 80%
Growing, Inc. is a firm that is experiencing rapid growth. The firm yesterday paid a dividend of $7.70. You believe that dividends will grow at a rate of 25.0% per year for two years, and then at a rate of 5.0% per year thereafter. You expect the stock will sell for $35.09 in two years. You expect an annual rate of return of 23.0% on this investment. If you plan to hold the stock indefinitely, what is the most you would pay for the stock now
Answer:
$38.98
Explanation:
The maximum amount a rational investor would pay for the stock is the present value of its future dividends and the present value of the terminal value of dividends beyond year 2(the price at the end of year 2) discounted at the investor's rate of return which is 23.0%
Year 1 dividend=$7.70*(1+25.0%)=$9.63
Year 2 dividend=$9.63*(1+25.0%)=$12.04
Share price at the end of year 2=$35.09(the 5.0% is of no use since terminal value beyond has been given)
price of the stock=$9.63/(1+23.0%)^1+$12.04/(1+23.0%)^2+$35.09/(1+23.0%)^2
price of the stock=$38.98

Explanation:
Nakatomi Corporation produces 10,000 units of Product A at a cost of $20 per unit. A detailed breakdown of the cost is below. Per Unit Variable costs $ 12 Allocated manufacturing overhead costs 3 Allocated general administrative costs 5 $ 20 Outside supplier's offer $ 17 What are the total relevant cost of producing the units internally
Answer: $120,000
Explanation:
Fixed costs are not considered to be relevant costs because they will be incurred by the business regardless. Variable costs are therefore the only relevant costs and in this case the variable costs are:
= Number of units * variable costs per unit
= 10,000 units * 12
= $120,000
