Answer: D. $20
Explanation:
Total cost to produce 50 cookies = Total cost to produce 100 cookies - Marginal cost to produce 50 cookies
Total cost to produce 100 cookies is:
= Average total cost * number of cookies
= 0.25 * 100
= $25
Marginal cost to produce 50 cookies is:
= Constant marginal cost * number of cookies
= 0.10 * 5
= $5.00
Total cost to produce 50 cookies = 25 - 5
= $20.00

On October 1, 2020 Vaughn Manufacturing issued 4%, 10-year bonds with a face value of $8130000 at 103. Interest is paid on October 1 and April 1, with any premiums or discounts amortized on a straight-line basis. The entry to record the issuance of the bonds would include a credit of $243900 to Premium on Bonds Payable. credit of $162600 to Interest Payable. credit of $7886100 to Bonds Payable. debit of $243900 to Discount on Bonds Payable.
Answer: a credit of $243,900 to Premium on Bonds Payable.
Explanation:
The bonds were issued at a premium of 103 so the bond issue price is:
= 8,130,000 * 103/100
= $8,373,900
The premium is therefore:
= Issue price - Face value
= 8,373,900 - 8,130,000
= $243,900
This premium will be credited to the Premium on Bonds Payable account to show that the Bonds were issued for higher than their face value.

g A construction company builds roads with machinery (capital, K) and labor (L). If we plot the isoquants for the production function so that labor is on the horizontal axis, then a point on the isoquant with a small MRTS (in absolute value) is associated with high __________ use and low __________ use. A. labor; capital B. concrete; gravel C. capital; labor D. None of the above.
Answer:
A. labor; capital
Explanation:
In the production function theory, here we presume that the isoquants should be convex shaped and the MRTS should be isoquant slop that should be downward as it is shifted from left to right. Now if it is along on the horizontal axis that goes towards right so here MRTS falls and the labor rises. Due to increased in labor, the capital should falls because of the negative slope
Therefore the option a is correct
The point on the isoquant with a small MRTS (in absolute value) is associated with high labor use and low capital use.
In a production function theory, we will presume that the isoquants should be convex shaped and the MRTS should be isoquant slop hence, should be downward as it is shifted from left to right.
if the MRTS is along on the horizontal axis that goes towards right, hence, the MRTS falls and the labor rises.
Hence, due to the increase in labor, the capital should falls because of the negative slope.
Therefore, the Option A is correct since the point on the isoquant with a small MRTS (in absolute value) is associated with high labor use and low capital use.

g Find the monthly payment and estimate the remaining balance (to the nearest dollar). Assume interest is on the unpaid balance. 5-year car loan for $9700 at 5%; remaining balance after 4 years.
Answer:
Monthly payment $102.88
Outstanding balance after year 4 $1,201.76
Explanation:
First and foremost, the car loan amount of $9,700 is the present value of all monthly payments for 5 years as shown below:
PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
PV=car loan amount=$9,700
monthly payment=unknown
r=monthly interest rate=5%/12=0.004166667
n=number of monthly payments in 5 years=5*12=60
$9700=monthly payment*(1-(1+0.004166667)^-120/0.004166667
$9700=monthly payment*(1-(1.004166667)^-120/0.004166667
$9700=monthly payment*(1-0.607161016 )/0.004166667
$9700=monthly payment*0.392838984 /0.004166667
$9700=monthly payment*94.28134862
monthly payment=$9700/94.28134862
monthly payment=$102.88
The outstanding balance after year 4 is the present value of monthly payments for the remaining 1 year(12 months)
PV=$102.88*(1-(1+0.004166667)^-12/0.004166667
PV=$102.88*(1-(1.004166667)^-12/0.004166667
PV=$102.88*(1-0.951328238 )/0.004166667
PV=$102.88*0.048671762 /0.004166667
PV=$1,201.76

If a company spends $80 million to build facility space sufficient to hold 5 million pairs of footwear-making equipment at a site in Latin America, then the company's annual depreciation costs for this facility space will be
Answer: $8,000,000
Explanation:
From the question given, the cost of the building facility is $80 million. Also, it should be noted that the default rate for depreciation is given as 10%, therefore, the company's annual depreciation costs for this facility space will be:
= Depreciation rate × Cost of building
= 10% × $80,000,000
= 0.1 × $80,000,000
= $8,000,000
Sammy Co. uses process costing to account for the production of popcorn. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Equivalent units have been calculated to be 20,000 units for materials and 18,200 units for conversion costs. Beginning inventory consisted of $6,200 in materials and $4,400 in conversion costs. May costs were $47,000 for materials and $32,000 for conversion costs. Ending inventory still in process was 4,000 units (100% complete for materials, 55% for conversion). The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs using the weighted average method would be:
Answer:
$2.00
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs using the weighted average method would be:
Using this formula
Cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs=Beginning inventory for conversion costs +May costs for conversion)/Equivalent units for conversion costs
Let plug in the formula
Cost per equivalent unit for conversion = ($4,400 + $32,000)/18,200
Cost per equivalent unit for conversion =$36,400/18,200
Cost per equivalent unit for conversion = $2.00
Therefore The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs using the weighted average method would be:$2.00
Your grandfather put some money in an account for you on the day you were born. You are now years old and are allowed to withdraw the money for the first time. The account currently has in it and pays an interest rate.
Required:
a. How much money would be in the account if you left the money there until your twenty-fifth birthday?
b. What if you left the money until your sixty-fifth birthday?
c. How much money did your grandfather originally put in the account?
Answer:
Missing word "You are now 18 years old and are allowed to withdraw the money for the first time. The account currently has $3996 in it and pays an 8% interest rate."
a. At 18 years, future value of current amount (compounded for another 7 years at 8%)
= $3,996 * (1.08)^7
= $3,996 * 1.7138
= $6,848.34
b. At age 65, future value of this amount (compounded for another 40 years at 8%)
= $6,848.44 * (1.08)^40
= $6,848.44 * 21.7245
= $148,779.93
c. Future Value = Present Value * (1 + Interest Rate)^n
So, let initial the money deposited be represented by Y
=> $3,996 = Y * (1.08)^18
=> $3,996 = Y * 3.996
Y = $3,996 / 3.996
Y = $1,000

Maintenance $21.45 per Machine Hour
Setup $676 per Setup
Quality Control $340 per Inspection
Faughn Corporation has provided the following data concerning manufacturing overhead for July:
Actual manufacturing overhead incurred $ 79,000
Manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process $ 69,000
The company's Cost of Goods Sold was $243,000 prior to closing out its Manufacturing Overhead account. The company closes out its Manufacturing Overhead account to Cost of Goods Sold. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $233,000
B. Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $233,000
C. Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000
D. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000
Answer: D. Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000
Explanation:
The Manufacturing overhead applied is less than the actual manufacturing overhead incurred by:
= 79,000 - 69,000
= $10,000
Manufacturing overhead is therefore underapplied as the amount applied is too low to cover the amount incurred.
The Cost of Goods sold after closing out is:
= Cost of goods sold before closing out + Underapplied manufacturing overhead
= 243,000 + 10,000
= $253,000
Concord Company has recently tried to improve its analysis for its manufacturing process. Units started into production equaled 18900 and ending work in process equaled 1000 units. Concord had no beginning work in process inventory. Conversion costs are applied uniformly throughout production, and all materials are applied at the beginning of the process. How much is the materials cost per unit if ending work in process was 30% complete and total materials costs equaled $86940
Answer:
the material cost per unit is $4.60 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the material cost per unit is shown below:
= Total material cost ÷ equivalent units of material
= $86,940 ÷ (18,900 - 1,000) × 100% + 1,000 × 100%
= $86,940 ÷ (17,900 + 1,000)
= $86,940 ÷ 18,900
= $4.60 per unit
Hence, the material cost per unit is $4.60 per unit
The same should be considered and relevant
Bialy Company had the following information: Total sales $120,000 Total variable cost 48,000 Operating income 12,000 What is the breakeven sales revenue
Answer:
$100,000
Explanation:
The breakeven sales revenue is the annual fixed cost divided by the contribution margin ratio of the product, which is the amount of sales revenue that the Bialy company needs to achieve in order to make a zero profit.
operating income=sales revenue-variable cost-fixed cost
operating income=$12,000
sales revenue=$120,0000
variable cost=$48,000
fixed cost=unknown
$12,000=$120,000-$48,000-fixed cost
fixed cost=$120,000-$48,000-$12,000
fixed cost=$60,000
total contribution=sales revenue-variable cost
total contribution=$120,000-$48,000
total contribution=$72,000
contribution margin ratio=total contribution margin/sales revenue
contribution margin ratio=$72,000/$120,000
contribution margin ratio=60%
breakeven sales revenue=$60,000/60%
breakeven sales revenue=$100,000
The current asset section of the Excalibur Tire Company’s balance sheet consists of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and inventory. The December 31, 2021, balance sheet revealed the following:
Inventories $840,000
Total assets $2,800,000
Current ratio 2.25
Acid-test ratio 1.2
Debt to equity ratio 1.8
Determine the following 2021 balance sheet items:
a. Current assets
b. Shareholders' equity
c. Noncurrent assets
d. Long-term liabilities
Answer:
a. Current assets = $1,800,000
b. Shareholders' equity = $1,000,000
c. Noncurrent assets = $1,000,000
d. Long-term liabilities = $1,000,000
Explanation:
a. Current assets
Current liabilities = Inventories / (Current ratio - Acid-test ratio) = $840,000 / (2.25 - 1.2) = $800,000
Since Current assets / Current liabilities = 2.25 = Current ratio, therefore, we have:
Current assets = Current ratio * Current liabilities = 2.25 * $800,000 = $1,800,000
b. Shareholders' equity
Debt to equity ratio = Total liabilities / Shareholders' equity = 1.8
Total liabilities = (1.8 * Shareholders' equity)
Total assets = $2,800,000
Total assets = Total liabilities + Shareholders' equity ………….. (1)
Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for Shareholders' equity, we have:
$2,800,000 = (1.8 * Shareholders' equity) + Shareholders' equity
$2,800,000 = (1.8 + 1) * Shareholders' equity
$2,800,000 = 2.8 * Shareholders' equity
Shareholders' equity = $2,800,000 / 2.8 = $1,000,000
c. Noncurrent assets
Noncurrent assets = Total assets - Current assets = $2,800,000 - $1,800,000 = $1,000,000
d. Long-term liabilities
Long-term liabilities = Total assets - Current liabilities - Shareholders' equity = $2,800,000 - $800,000 - $1,000,000 = $1,000,000
Consider the following information for the manufacturing cell of Stripes Company: Maximum units produced in a quarter 250,000 units Actual units produced in a quarter 200,000 units Productive hours in a quarter 50,000 hours Compute the theoretical velocity and the actual velocity in units per hour.
Answer: Theoretical velocity = 5 units per hour.
Actual velocity = 4 units per hour.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the theoretical velocity will be:
Firstly, we'll calculate the theoretical cycle time which will be:
= (50,000 hours x 60 minutes per hour) / 250,000 units
= 12 minutes per unit
Actual cycle time will be:
= (50,000 hours x 60 minutes per hour) / 200,000 units
= 15 minutes per unit
The theoretical velocity:
= 60 minutes / 12 minutes
= 5 units per hour.
2. The e actual velocity in units per hour:
= 60 minutes per hour / 15 minutes per unit
= 4 units per hour
If the return on stock A in year 1 was 6 %, in year 2 was 3 %, in year 3 was 18 % and in year 4 was 3 %, what was the standard deviation of returns for stock A over this four year period? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place and record without a percent sign. If your final answer is negative, place a minus sign before the number with no space between the sign and the number).
Answer:
12.4
Explanation:
We need to,first of all, determine the arithmetic average return of all the returns, which is the sum of the returns divided by the number of returns
average return=(6%+3%+18%+3%)/4
average return=7.50%
Years return (return-average return) (return-average return)^2
1 6.00% -1.50% 0.022500%
2 3.00% -4.50% 0.202500%
3 18.00% 10.50% 1.102500%
4 3.00% -4.50% 0.202500%
average return 7.50% variance 1.530000%
standard deviation=variance^(1/2) 12.4%
Now- a quick question. Assume at the beginning of Year2, Becker Company has a credit (positive) balance in the AOCI account of $10800. Becker Company reports $653000 of net income for Year2. Becker has an unrealized gain of $12000 during Year2. The gain qualifies as OCI (Other comprehensive income). 1. What will Becker report as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year2 balance sheet
Answer:
Becker Company
The amount that Becker will report as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year 2 balance sheet is:
= $22,800.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Year 2 Beginning balance:
Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) = $10,800 credit
Year 2 reported net income = $653,000
Unrealized gain during Year 2 = $12,000
The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year 2 balance sheet is:
Beginning balance $10,800
Unrealized gain 12,000
AOCI for Year 2 = $22,800
b) Becker's Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income includes unrealized gains and losses arising from some investments, pension plans, and hedging transactions. These are usually reported in the equity section of the balance sheet and then netted off from the retained earnings.
Firm A has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, and Firm Z has a 28 percent marginal tax rate. Firm A owns a controlling interest in Firm Z. The owners of Firm A decide to incur a $9,500 deductible expense that will benefit both firms.
Required:
Compute the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that:
a. Firm A incurs the expense
b. Firm Z incurs the expense
Answer:
a. $7,505
b.$6,840
Explanation:
a. Computation for the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm A incurs the expense
Using this formula
After-tax cost = Deductible Expense - (Firm A Marginal tax rate* Deductible Expense)
Let plug in the formula
After-tax cost = ($9,500 - ($21%*9500)
After-tax cost = ($9,500 - $1,995)
After-tax cost=$7,505
Therefore the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm A incurs the expense is $7,505
B. Computation for the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm Z incurs the expense
Using this formula
After-tax cost = Deductible Expense - (Firm Z Marginal tax rate*Deductible Expense)
Let plug in the formula
After-tax cost =$9,500 -(28%*$9500)
After-tax cost =($9,500 - $2,660 )
After-tax cost=$6,840
Therefore the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm Z incurs the expense is $6,840
Wasilko Corporation produces and sells one product The budgeted selling price per unit is $114. Budgeted unit sales for February is 9,900 units. Each unit of finished goods requires 6 pounds of raw materials. The raw materials cost $4.00 per pound. The direct labor wage rate is $24.00 per hour. Each unit of finished goods requires 2.4 direct labor-hours. Manufacturing overhead is entirely variable and is $9.00 per direct labor-hour. The variable selling and administrative expense per unit sold is $1.60. The fixed selling and administrative expense per month is $70,000. The estimated net operating income (loss) for February is closest to:
Answer: $21,080
Explanation:
First calculate the contribution margin per unit
= Sales - Variable costs
= Selling price - Raw materials - Direct labor cost - Manufacturing overhead - Variable selling and administrative expense
= 114 - (6 * 4) - (2.4 * 24) - (9 * 2.4) - 1.60
= $9.20
The Contribution margin is:
= 9.20 * 9,900 units
= $91,080
Net operating income = Contribution margin - fixed cost
= 91,080 - 70,000
= $21,080
Which of the following is a major difference between a budget constraint and production possibilities frontier?
a. A production possibilities frontier conveys the relative prices of the two goods, whereas a budget constraint accounts for diminishing returns.
b. A production possibilities frontier is usually straight, whereas a budget constraint is typically curved.
c. A budget constraint typically has a constant slope, whereas the slope of a production possibilities frontier is usually different at various points.
d. There is no difference. They convey the same information.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.
The PPF is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.
So, the PPF exhibits diminishing return. The slope of the PPF is different at different points. this makes the PPF a curve
the budget constraint is a straight line that shows the various combinations of goods a consumer can consume given her income. the budget constraint is a straight line because the slope is constant at each point on the curve
Also, the slope of the budget constraint is the relative prices of the two goods
Chicotti Company has 6,000 units in beginning work in process, 30% complete as to conversion costs, 75,000 units transferred out to finished goods, and 2,000 units in ending work in process 20% complete as to conversion costs. The beginning and ending inventory is fully complete as to materials costs. How much are equivalent units for materials if the FIFO method is used
Answer:
71,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much are equivalent units for materials if the FIFO method is used
Using this formula
Equivalent units for materials=(Units transferred out to Finished goods + Units in ending work in process – Units in beginning work in process)
Let plug in the formula
Equivalent units for materials=75,000 + 2,000 – 6,000
Equivalent units for materials= 71,000
Therefore the equivalent units for materials if the FIFO method is used will be 71,000
During July, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 24,000 units that were in process at the beginning of July and 72,000 that were started and completed in July. July's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to labor. At the end of July, 29,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 35% complete with respect to labor. The beginning inventory included labor cost of $52,400 and the production department incurred direct labor cost of $451,250 during July. Compute the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted-average method.
Answer:
the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department is $4.74 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department is given below:
Equivalent units for direct labor cost is
= 24,000 unit + 72,000 units + 35% of 29,000
= 24,000 units + 72,000 units + 10,150 units
= 106,150 units
Now the direct cost per equivalent unit is
= ($52,400 + $451,250) ÷ 106,150 units
= $4.74 per unit
Hence, the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department is $4.74 per unit
Forner, Inc., manufactures and sells two products: Product Z1 and Product Z8. The company has an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity:

The activity rate for the Machine Setups activity cost pool under activity-based costing is closest to:
$203.26 per setup
$190.55 per setup
$122.97 per setup
$33.70 per setup
Answer:
Machine setups= $33.7 per setup
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Activity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product Z1 Product Z8 Total
Machine setups setups 40,440 500 700 1,200
To calculate the activity rate for Machine setup, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine setups= 40,440 / 1,200
Machine setups= $33.7 per setup
