Answer:
$4
$1 and $3
False
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
a)
Amount of tax for each bottle is $4 because the sellers are receiving $2 and buyers are paying $6. Therefore,
Amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $6 - $2 = $4
b)
Burden on the consumer = $6 - $5
= $1
Burden on the seller = $4 - $1
= $3
c)
False, because the tax incidence depends on the flexibility or elasticity of market.

Option A has an expected value of $2,000, a minimum payoff of -$4,000, and a maximum payoff of $18,000. Option B has an expected value of $2,200, a minimum payoff of -$1,000, and a maximum payoff of $6,000. Option C has an expected value of $1,900, a minimum payoff of $100, and a maximum payoff of $2,000. In this situation, a risk-averse decision maker would pay __________ for his risk aversion, and a risk-seeking decision maker would pay __________ for his risk seeking.
Answer:
Option A is the answer
Explanation:
A risk-averse decision maker will go for the option with the least chance of loss incurred (the highest minimum payoff of $100) and settle for an expected value of 1900. He'll pay for his risk avoidance in this way (2200-1900 = 300) while a risk-seeking decision maker will go for the option with the highest payoff chances ($18,000), regardless of the possibility of failure. This would make the risk-seeking decision maker go for option A.

Anabelle and Bettina are involved in a 'cognitive' conflict as it occurs when they both experience a mental as well as emotional discomfort when they are confronted with the information that challenges their existing ideas or beliefs. The most likely outcomes of this situation would be that they 'both would learn from each other' by accepting each other's point of view and adapting with the new information that would help them 'reach a creative solution' to resolve their conflict over the cleaning of their room. Therefore, options A and B are the correct answers.
The three service departments (indirect costs) are payroll, sales supervision and maintenance. The actual costs of these service departments are as follows:
Payroll Sales Supervision Maintenance
Salaries and wages $41,000 $80,000 $52,000
Office supplies $3,500 $1,600 $400
Supplies 0 $2,400 $7,500
The two operating departments and their statistics are as follows:
Square Footage Number of Employees Net Assets
Machining 14,500 78 $ 420,000
Assembly 46,000 42 280,000
If you allocate payroll department costs by number of employees then how much payroll cost is allocated to the Machining Department?
Answer:
$26,700
Explanation:
The solution of allocation of cost to machining department is provided below:-
First we need to find out the total payroll cost and total number of employees to reach the allocation of cost to machining department which is here below:-
Total Payroll costs = Payroll of salaries and wages + Payroll of office supplies
= $41,000 + $3,500
= $44,500
Total Number of employees = Machining number of employees + Assembly number of employees
= 78 + 52
= 130
Allocation of cost to Machining Department = Total Payroll costs ÷ Total Number of employees × Machining number of employees
= 44,500 ÷ 130 × 78
= $26,700
To reach allocation of cost to machining department we simply put the values into formula.
A Company manufactures coffee tables. The Company has a policy of adding a 20% markup to full costs and currently has excess capacity. The following information pertains to the company's normal operations per month: Output units 30,000 tables Machine-hours 6000 hours Direct manufacturing labor-hours 10,000 hours Direct materials per unit $50 Direct manufacturing labor per hour $12.00 Variable manufacturing overhead costs $322,500 Fixed manufacturing overhead costs $1,200,000 Product and process design costs $600,000 Marketing and distribution costs $1,290,000 For long-run pricing of the coffee tables, what price will most likely be used by the Company
Answer:
$201.30
Explanation:
Direct materials = $50
Total Direct manufacturing labor = $12.00 * 10,000 = $120,000
Variable manufacturing overhead costs = $322,500
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs = $1,200,000
Product and process design costs = $600,000
Marketing and distribution costs = $1,290,000
Total cost apart from direct material = $120,000 + $322,500 + $1,200,000 + $600,000 + $1,290,000 = $3,532,500
Cost per unit apart from direct material = $3,532,500 / 30,000 = $117.75
Total cost per unit = $117.75 + $50 = $167.75
Mark up per unit = $167.75 * 20% = $33.55
Price per unit = $167.75 + $33.55 = $201.30
Answer: $201.30
Explanation:
To solve this all the expenses incurred per unit need to be included in the unit.
Direct Materials $50
Direct Manufacturing Labour Hours per unit
= (10,000/30,000 units) * 12 (direct Manufacturing Labour per hour)
= $4
Variable Manufacturing Overhead Cost
= 322,500/30,000
= $10.75
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs
= 1,200,000/30,000
= $40
Product and process design costs
= 600,000/30,000
= $20
Marketing and distribution costs
= 1,290,000/30,000
= $43
Adding everything up,
= 50 + 4 + 10.75 + 40 + 20 + 43
= $167.75
Company adds 20% to costs so,
= 167.75 * ( 1 + 20%)
= $201.30
Company will most likely sell at $201.30
The following units of an item were available for sale during the year: Beginning inventory 8,100 units at $180 Sale 5,300 units at $300 First purchase 15,000 units at $185 Sale 13,000 units at $300 Second purchase 16,000 units at $192 Sale 14,000 units at $300 The firm uses the perpetual inventory system, and there are 6,800 units of the item on hand at the end of the year. a. What is the total cost of the ending inventory according to FIFO? $ b. What is the total cost of the ending inventory according to LIFO?
Answer:
a. $1,305,600
b. $1,258,000
Explanation:
FIFO - Assumes that the first goods received by the business will be first ones to be delivered to the final customer
FIFO Inventory = 6,800 units × $ 192 = $1,305,600
LIFO - Assumes that the last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer
LIFO Inventory = 2,800 units × $180 = $ 504,000
2,000 units × $185 = $ 370,000
2,000 units × $ 192 = $ 384,000
Total = $1,258,000
Opera Corp uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 7,200 units that cost $10 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 4,000 units at $13 each and 12,000 units at $13.50 each. Checkers also sold 12,900 units during the month. Using the average cost method, what is the amount of cost of goods sold for the month
Answer:
$159,057
Explanation:
The computation of cost of goods sold is shown below:-
Total cost of goods available for sale = (7,200 × $10) + (4,000 × $13) + (12,000 × $13.50)
= $72,000 + $52,000 + $162,000
= $286,000
Total units = 7,200 + 4,000 + 12,000
= 23,200
Average cost per unit = Total cost of goods available for sale ÷ Total units
= $286,000 ÷ 23,200
= $12.33
So,
Cost of Goods sold = Sold units during the month × Average cost per unit
= 12,900 × $12.33
= $159,057
Therefore for computing the cost of goods sold for the month we simply applied the above formula.

While Mary Corens was a student at the University of Tennessee, she borrowed $9,000 in student loans at an annual interest rate of 9%. If Mary repays $1,700 per year, then how long (to the nearest year) will it take her to repay the loan? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
The time required to repay the loan is 8 years.
Explanation:
The loan amount that the student borrowed = $9000
Annual interest rate = 9%
Repayment amount per year or annuity amount = $1700 per year
Use the below formula to calculate the number of years to repay the loan amount.
A = annuity amount
r = interest rate
n = number of years
PVF = present value of annuity
[tex]\rm PVF = \frac{A\left [1-\left ( 1+r \right )^{-n} \right ]}{r} \\[/tex]
[tex]9000 = \frac{1700\left [1-\left ( 1+ 0.09 \right )^{-n} \right ]}{0.09} \\[/tex]
[tex]9000 = 18888.9(1-1.09^{-n}) \\[/tex]
[tex]n = 7.51 \ years \ or \ 8 \ years.[/tex]
So, the time taken to repay the loan amount is 8 years.
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Assume you can invest money at a 14 percent rate of return. How much money must be invested now to be able to withdraw $5,000 from this investment at the end of each year for eight years, the first withdrawal occurring one year from now
Answer:
the original amount invested = $285,714.29
Explanation:
Let original amount invested be x
Amount to be withdrawn per year = $5,000
Total number of years = 8
Total amount to be withdrawn = 5,000 × 8 = $40,000
Next, we are told that 14% return on x is realized,
∴ 14% return on x = $40,000
0.14 × x = 40,000
x = 40,000 ÷ 0.14 = $285,714.29
Therefore, the original amount invested = $285,714.29

Last year Kruse Corp had $380,000 of assets (which is equal to its total invested capital), $403,000 of sales, $28,250 of net income, and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 39%. The new CFO believes the firm has excessive fixed assets and inventory that could be sold, enabling it to reduce its total assets and total invested capital to $252,500. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Sales, costs, and net income would not be affected, and the firm would maintain the same capital structure (but with less total debt). By how much would the reduction in assets improve the ROE (percentage point change)
Answer:
=6.154%
Explanation:
Original New
Assets $380,000 $252,500
Sales $403,000 $403,000
Net income $28,250 $28,250
Debt ratio 39.00% 39.00%
Debt = Assets × debt % = $148,200 $98,475
Equity = Assets − Debt = $231,800 $154,025
ROE = NI/Equity = 12.187% 18.341%
Increase in ROE = 18.341%-12.187%
= 6.154%
Therefore, the reduction in assets improve the ROE (percentage point change) is 6.154%
The standards for product V28 call for 8.2 pounds of a raw material that costs $19.00 per pound. Last month, 2,100 pounds of the raw material were purchased for $39,480. The actual output of the month was 230 units of product V28. A total of 2,000 pounds of the raw material were used to produce this output.The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.Required:a. What is the materials price variance for the month
Answer:
$420 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the material price variance is shown below:
Material price variance = Actual quantity × (Actual price - standard price)
= 2,100 pounds × ($39,480 ÷ 2,100 pounds - $19)
= 2,100 pounds × ($18.8 - $19)
= 2,100 pounds × $0.20
= $420 favorable
Since the standard price is greater than the actual price so it would lead to favorable variance
A company needs to raise $22 million and plans to issue 20-year bonds for this purpose. The required rate of return is 7.6 percent in the current market. The company has two issue alternatives: a 7.6 percent coupon and a zero coupon bond. The company's tax rate is 34 percent. At bond maturity, how much will the company need to pay to its bondholders if it issues the coupon bonds? What if it issue the zeros? Assume semiannual compounding for both bond issues. (For simplicity's sake, assume the company can issue a partial bond.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Since the required rate of return equal to the coupon rate i.e 7.6% that means the bond issued at par
Therefore, the number of bond issued is
We assume the par value is $1,000
=$22,000,000 ÷ $1,000
= 22,000 Coupon bonds
And
Price of zero Coupon bond is
= $1,000 × (1.038)^-40
= $224.96
And, Number of coupon bond is
= 22,000,000 ÷ $224.96
= 97,795 zero Coupon bond
Now the payment made to bondholders in case of issuing the coupon bond is
= (Last Coupon payment + face value) × number of bond
= (1000 + 36) ×22,000
= $22,836,000 or 22.836 million
And in case of issuance of the zero coupon bond, the payment is
= Number of bonds × face value
= 97,795 × 1000
= 97,795,000 or 97.795 million
The time period doubles and the rate is half

The following cost data relate to the manufacturing activities of Chang Company during the just completed year: Manufacturing overhead costs incurred: Indirect materials $ 16,000 Indirect labor 140,000 Property taxes, factory 9,000 Utilities, factory 80,000 Depreciation, factory 251,500 Insurance, factory 11,000 Total actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred $ 507,500 Other costs incurred: Purchases of raw materials (both direct and indirect) $ 410,000 Direct labor cost $ 70,000 Inventories: Raw materials, beginning $ 21,000 Raw materials, ending $ 31,000 Work in process, beginning $ 41,000 Work in process, ending $ 71,000 The company uses a predetermined overhead rate of $25 per machine-hour to apply overhead cost to jobs. A total of 20,700 machine-hours were used during the year. Required: 1. Compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead cost for the year. 2. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for the year.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of given question is shown below:-
The difference between the actual accumulated manufacturing overhead and the applied overhead measured on the basis of actual activity carried out at standard cost is the overhead expense under or over applied.
When applied overheads, the overheads are considered underapplied less than the actual overhead.
When overheads are applied, the overheads are considered overapplied higher than the real overhead.
So, we need to compute the applied overhead to find out the under or over applied overhead.
Applied Manufacturing Overhead = Total Machine Hours actually recorded × Predetermined Overhead Rate
= 20,700 MHs × $25
= $517,500
As we can see that the applied overheads are greater than the actual incurred overhead, so, Overheads are overapplied.
Over-Applied Overhead Cost = Applied Overhead – Actual Overhead
= 517,500 – 507,500
= $10,000
2. The preparation of schedule of cost of goods manufactured for the year is shown below:-

Pharoah Company has had 4 years of record earnings. Due to this success, the market price of its 500,000 shares of $4 par value common stock has increased from $15 per share to $55. During this period, paid-in capital remained the same at $6,000,000. Retained earnings increased from $4,500,000 to $30,000,000. CEO Don Ames is considering either (1) a 15% stock dividend or (2) a 2-for-1 stock split. He asks you to show the before-and-after effects of each option on (a) retained earnings, (b) total stockholders’ equity, and (c) par value per share.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
1) 15% Stock Dividend-
Retained Earnings = Increase Value of Retained Earnings - (Total Shares × 15% Stock Dividend × Increase Value of Per Share)
= $30,000,000 - (500,000 × 15% × $55)
= $30,000,000 - $4,125,000
= $25,875,000
2) 2-for-1 stock split-
Retained earnings = $30,000,000
The 2-for-1 stock split will not impact retained earnings.
a and b) The before, after effects of each option are shown in the attachment below
c) Par value per share
Par value per share of stock dividend = $4
Par value per share of 2-for-1 stock split = $4 ÷ 2 = $2
According to the analysis, stock dividend will not make any impact.
Bass Accounting Services expects its accountants to work a total of 26 comma 000 direct labor hours per year. The company's estimated total indirect costs are $ 390 comma 000. The company uses direct labor hours as the allocation base for indirect costs. What is the indirect cost allocation rate? A. $ 18.00 per hour B. $ 30.00 per hour C. $ 15.00 per hour D. $ 150.00 per hour
Answer:
C) $ 15.00 per hour
Explanation:
total labor hours 26,000 per year
total indirect costs $390,000
if the company allocates indirect costs according to labor hours employed, the cost allocation rate should be:
$390,000 / 26,000 = $15 per direct labor hour
This means that for every labor hour employed, $15 will be allocated as indirect costs, e.g. a client requires 50 labor hours per year and $750 (= 50 x $15) in indirect costs.
Answer:
The correct answer is option (c) $15 per hour
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Expected wok for accountants = 26,000
The company estimated total indirect costs - 390,000
The next step is to find the allocation base cost for indirect cost.
Now,
The indirect labor cost is calculated as follows:
indirect cost allocation rate:
= Total indirect costs/Labor hours
= $390,000/26,000
= $15 per hours
The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that Group of answer choices a. the focused differentiators have a broader competitive scope b. the value-creating activities of focused differentiators are more constrained. c. focused differentiators target a narrower customer market d. there are fewer risks with the focused differentiation strategy.
Answer:
The answer is option C) The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that focused differentiators target a narrower customer market.
Explanation:
Product differentiation is a marketing strategy that creates competitive advantage with designing a product superior to that of rivals, priced higher and sometimes created for exclusive users.
However, the focused differentiation strategy takes it a step further by targeting a small group of customers with ostensible goods.
The bourgeoisie are the main target for focused differentiators. They have the economic power to foot the bill and they enjoy the exclusivity of being the few to consume such products. A good example of such products is the Bugatti and Ferrari.
HI Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that promises to reduce operating costs by the same amount for every year of its 5-year useful life. The machine will cost $211,980 and has no salvage value. The machine has a 14% internal rate of return. (Ignore income taxes.) Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2 to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided. Required: What are the annual cost savings promised by the machine? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
Annual savings = 61,746.
Explanation:
The Net Present Value (NPV) is the difference between the present value (PV) of cash outflows and PV of cash inflow
At the internal rate of return the PC of annual cash savings will be equal to the investment cost
Initial cost = 211980
PV = annual cash savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n)/ r
A=? r-internal rate of return, 14%, n-number of years- 5
211980 = A (1- (1.14)^(-5)/ 0.14
211,980 = A× 3.433080969
A= 211,980/3.43308
A= 61746.28619
Annual savings = 61,746.
After graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in business administration,Joe sent an email,with his resume attached,to the Media Blitz Company (MBC).In his email,he was only inquiring about an entry level position at the firm.When he found out that MBC had hired two of his classmates who were not of his race,Joe filed a discrimination complaint against MBC under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.Which of the following is true of this scenario?
A) Joe has a good case against MBC because his email was clear that he was interested in the entry level position at the firm, and they did not even consider him.
B) Joe does not have a valid case because employment laws do not permit people to apply for a job via the Internet or related electronic data technologies.
C) Joe does not have a valid case because sending an email inquiry about a job does not qualify the sender as an applicant.
D) Joe would have had a valid case against MBC had he submitted his resume via a third-party job board.
Answer:
C) Joe does not have a valid case because sending an email inquiry about a job does not qualify the sender as an applicant.
Explanation:
Joe after graduating from the college with a degree in business administration, sent an enquiry email with his resume attached to the Media Blitz Company (MBC).
Joe would most likely not prevail in his case because sending an email inquiry about a job does not qualify the sender as an applicant.
As a job seeker, you're expected to send an application for a job position advertised with your resume attached. This would serve as an evidence of interest or desire to work with the organization.
In this scenario, Joe wasn't being discriminated at by the Media Blitz Company (MBC).
Hence, Joe's case against MBC on the ground of discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act becomes an invalid one.
elb Company currently manufactures 50,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $2.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $67,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $61,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.90 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 50,000 units and buying 50,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
Incremental Cost of Making Product
Variable costs are $2.95 per unit and 50,000 units are to be made. Total Variable Cost is therefore,
= 2.95 * 50,000
= $147,500
Fixed costs associated with the production are$ 67,000 so added tl the variable costs is,
= 147,500 + 67,000
= $214,500
$214,500 is the cost making the product.
Cost of Buying Product
Component can be bought for $3.90 per unit. 50,000 units to be bought gives,
= 50,000 * 3.9
= $195,000
Cost of buying is $195,000
Decision
Company should buy the component as it spends less in buying it than I making it.
Note - Allocated fixed costs were not included in calculation because they will be there regardless of the decision. Hence the term, incremental costs.
Answer:
elb Company
a) Incremental Cost of making 50,000 units:
Variable costs = $2.95 x 50,000 = $147,500
Avoidable fixed costs = $67,000
Total = $214,500
b) Incremental Cost of buying 50,000
Buy-in costs =- $3.90 x 50,000 = $195,000
c) The company should buy this component from the outside supplier.
Explanation:
In make or buy decisions, only variable and avoidable costs are taken into consideration. Unavoidable fixed costs are sunk costs which must be incurred irrespective of the choice made.
Therefore, the unavoidable allocated fixed costs of $61,500 should not be taken into consideration. Afterall, no matter the decision, it would still be incurred and allocated.
"Vaughn Corporation is considering the issue of commercial paper and would like to know the yield it should offer on its commercial paper. The corporation believes that a 0.2 percent credit risk premium, a 0.1 percent liquidity premium, and a 0.3 percent tax adjustment are necessary to sell its commercial paper to investors. Furthermore, annualized T-bill rates are 7 percent. Based on this information, Vaughn should offer ____ percent on its commercial paper."
Answer:
7.6 percent
Explanation:
Vaughn should offer 7.6 percent on its commercial paper.
This is calculated by adding the 0.2 credit risk premium to 0.1 percent liquidity premium + 0.3 percent tax adjustment + 7 percent annualized t bills rate.
= 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.3 + 7
= 7.6
Based on this Vaughn would offer 7.6 percent on its commercial paper.

The Converting Department of Hopkinsville Company had 1,200 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 75% complete. During the period, 25,200 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,360 units in process at the end of the period, which were 25% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".
Answer:
Equivalent Units
Material cost = 26,560
Conversion Cost= 25,540
Explanation:
We would assume the company uses weighted average method of valuation.
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Equivalent units = Degree of completion (%) × Number of units
Material cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 100%× 1,360 1360
Total equivalent units 26,560
Conversion Cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 25%× 1,360 340
Total equivalent units 25,540
