A company determined that the budgeted cost of producing a product is $30 per unit. On June 1, there were 86000 units on hand, the sales department budgeted sales of 370000 units in June, and the company desires to have 160000 units on hand on June 30. The budgeted cost of goods sold for June would be
Answer:
The budgeted cost of goods sold for June would be $ 13,320,000
Explanation:
Budgeted cost per unit = $30
Sales budget = 370,000 units
Less: Beginning inventory = 86,000 units
Add: Ending inventory = 160,000 units
Therefore budgeted cost of goods sold for June = (370,000 - 86,000 + 160,000) × $30
= 444,000 × $30
= $13,320,000

Exercise 24-5 Payback period computation; even cash flows LO P1 Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $520,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $150,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000. A machine costs $380,000, has a $20,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $60,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the payback period is shown below:
1. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow
where,
Initial investment is $520,000
Net cash flow is = incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense
= $150,000 + $85,000
= $235,000
The depreciation expense is
= ($520,000 - $10,000) ÷ (6 years)
= $85,000
Now the payback period is
= $520,000 ÷ $235,000
= 2.21 years
2. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow
where,
Initial investment is $380,000
Net cash flow is = incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense
= $60,000 + $45,000
= $105,000
The depreciation expense is
= ($380,000 - $20,000) ÷ (8 years)
= $45,000
Now the payback period is
= $380,000 ÷ $105,000
= 3.62 years

Company A sells paper coffee cups to all Caribou Coffee locations in the US. Company B sells dinner plates to Applebee’s. Company A charges $1 for a pack of 100 cups and Company B charges $3 for 1 dinner plate. Tell us exactly what information you would need to determine whether Company A or Company B has higher annual revenue and explain how you would calculate these two figures.
Answer:
Company A and Company B
Determination of annual revenue:
a) The information needed to determine which company has higher annual revenue include:
i) The annual quantities of packs of paper coffee cups sold to the Caribou Coffee locations in the US for a number of years.
ii) The annual quantities of dinner plates sold to Applebee's for the same years as above.
b) The annual revenues can be calculated by multiplying the price for a pack of 100 cups by the annual quantity sold.
Explanation:
Revenue is a function of price and quantity sold. The price is unit selling price and the quantity depends on the period for which revenue is being computed.
Revenue is the earnings from the sale of goods and services. The excess of revenue over cost of sales gives the gross profit, from which expenses would be deducted to arrive at net income after adding other incomes from non-operational activities.

Answer:
The amount of Bad Debt Expense recognized during the year is $41,500.
Explanation:
Bad debt expense is an estimate of the accounts receivable that is deemed uncollectible. At times, it is determined by percentage of credit method or aging method.
If the allowance account had an opening balance of $31,500 before adjustment and there was no rite-off during the period, with a closing balance of $73,000, the bad debt expense is simply the difference between the closing balance and the opening balance, that is , $73,000 - $31,500 = $41,500.

Answer:
b. an increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level.
Explanation:
In order to understand both short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy movement from short to long run, we need the aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.
An increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve right.
The long-run aggregate supply curve would shift rightward when immigration from foreign countries rises or technology improves.
When the price level rises, the wealth effect and the interest-rate effect provide incentives for consumers to spend less. The price level of goods and services in an economy influences the exchange rate, imports and exports
A well-known financial writer argues that he can earn 148 percent per year buying wine by the case. Specifically, he assumes that he will consume one $12 bottle of fine Bordeaux per week for the next 12 weeks. He can either pay $12 per week or buy a case of 12 bottles today. If he buys the case, he receives a 9 percent discount and, by doing so, earns the 148 percent. Assume he buys the wine and consumes the first bottle today. Calculate the EAR.
Answer:
EAR = 148%
Explanation:
calculating the EAR ( applying the formula for present value of annuity )
cost of case = 12 * 12 * ( 1 - 0.09 ) = 131.04
Pv = 131.04
cost per case = $12
no of weeks = 12 weeks
rate of the wine per ( IRR ) = IRR(57;56;55;;;;1)= 1.76319
rate of the wine per week = 1.76319%
therefore EAR = ( 1 + 0.0176319) ^52 - 1 = 148.15% ≈ 148%

Guarder Consulting enters into a contract with Smith Co. to restructure some of Smith's processes with a goal of cost savings. The contract states that Guarder will earn a fixed fee of $35,000 and earn an additional $10,000 bonus if Smith achieves $100,000 of cost savings. Guarder estimates a 55% chance that Smith will achieve $100,000 of cost savings. Assuming that Guarder determines the transaction price as the expected value of consideration, what transaction price will Guarder estimate for this contract
Answer:
The transaction price that Guarder will estimate for this contract is $40,500
Explanation:
In order to calculate what transaction price will Guarder estimate for this contract Assuming that Guarder determines the transaction price as the expected value of consideration, we would have to calculate the expected value of expected consideration as follows:
expected value of expected consideration=Fixed Fee + Additional Income
expected value of expected consideration=$35,000+($10,000*55%)
expected value of expected consideration=$35,000+$5,500
expected value of expected consideration=$40,500
The transaction price that Guarder will estimate for this contract is $40,500
Use of the marginal cost of capital
a. None of these options are correct.
b. recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.
c. acknowledges that when retained earnings are used up as a source of equity, the cost of capital rises as new common stock is sold to support more growth and recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.
d. acknowledges that when retained earnings are used up as a source of equity, the cost of capital rises as new common stock is sold to support more growth.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of ''marginal cost of capital'' refers to the composite rate of return that is required by the shareholders and the debt-holders in order to establish a new investment in the actual company. Moreover, this type of cost relates to the weighted average cost of the last dollar of new capital raised by the company and is has the necessity of being greater than or at least equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised due to the fact that only in that way the investors will consider to invest again in a new project for the company.
Ellie (a single taxpayer) is the owner of ABC, LLC. The LLC (a sole proprietorship) reports QBI of $900,000 and is not a specified services business. ABC paid total W-2 wages of $300,000, and the total unadjusted basis of property held by ABC is $30,000. Ellie's taxable income before the QBI deduction is $740,000 (this is also her modified taxable income). What is Ellie's QBI deduction for 2019
Answer:
QBI deduction for 2019 is $148,000
Explanation:
Description Amount
Taxable income before QBI deduction
exceed $207,500 threshold.
Capital investment limit is considered
QBI deduction is lesser of:
1) 20% of qualified business income $180,000
($900,00 × 20%)
or Greater of
2) 50% 0f W-2 wages $150,000
($300,000 × 50%)
or
25% 0f W-2 wages + 2.5% of unadjustment
basis pf qualified property
($300,000 × 25%) + ($300,000 × 2.5%) $75,750
3)Not more than 20% of modified taxable income
($740,000 × 20%) $148,000
Therefore, QBI deduction for 2019 is $148,000
niversal Studios sold the Mamma Mia! DVD around the world. Universal charged $21.40 in Canada and $32 in Japanlong dashmore than the $20 it charged in the United States. Assume Universal's marginal cost of production (m) is $1.20. Determine what the elasticities of demand must be in Canada and in Japan if Universal is profit maximizingLOADING.... The elasticity of demand in Canada must be epsilon Subscript Upper Cequals nothing. (Enter a numeric response using a real
Answer:
Explanation:
Lerner Index = -1 / Elasticity of demand = (P - MC) / P
(1) Canada:
- 1 / Ec = (21.4 - 1.20) / 21.4
- 1 / Ec = 20.2 / 21.4
- 1 / Ec = 0.9344
Ec = -1 / 0.9344
Ec = - 1.059
(2) Japan:
Lerner Index = -1 / Elasticity of demand = (P - MC) / P
- 1 / Ej = (32 - 1.2) / 32
- 1 / Ej = 30.8 / 32
- 1 / Ej = 0.9625
Ej = -1 / 0.9625
Ej = - 1.039
You pay $20,800 to the Laramie Fund which has a NAV of $18.00 per share at the beginning of the year. The fund deducted a front-end load of 3.00%. The securities in the fund increased in value by 12% during the year. The fund's expense ratio is 1.50% and is deducted from year end asset values. What is your rate of return on the fund if you sell your shares at the end of the year
Answer:
6.92%
Explanation:
Beginning investment fund is $20,800.
Now, fund available= Beginning fund(1-front end load)
=20,800(1-0.03)=$20176
Now, the number of shares that can be brought with the available fund
[tex}\text{Number of shares}=\frac{\text{fund available}}{NAV_{beginning}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{20176}{18}[/tex]
=1120
Now calculating closing NAV
NAV(closing)=NAV(beginning)=(1+increased%)
=$18(1+12%)=18×1.12
=$20.16
Calculate year end asset value
Year end asset value =NAV(closing)×No. of shares
=$20.16×1120=$22579.2
Value of investment after deducting the expense ratio
Closing investment value = Year end asset value×(1-expense ratio)
=$22579.2×(1-1.5%)
=$22240.512
Now,
Return on the fund =[(closing investment value)-(Beginning investment fund)]÷Beginning investment fund
=(22240.512-20800)÷20800
=0.0692
or, 6.92%
