Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Atlantic Division of Stark Productions Company

Return on Investment = Net Income/Average operating assets x 100

1. Reduced controllable fixed costs by 10% with no change in sales or variable costs:

Net Income = $530,000 ($500,000 + 30,000)

Return on investment = $530,000/$2,500,000 x 100

= 21.2%

2. Reduced average operating assets by 10% with no change in controllable margin:

Net Income = $500,000 and average operating assets = $2,250,000

Return on Investment = $500,000/$2,250,000 x 100

= 22.22%

3. Increased sales to $4,500,000 with no change in the contribution margin percentage:

Sales                                  $4,500,000

Variable costs                     3,600,000

Contribution                        $900,000

Controllable fixed costs        300,000

Net operating income        $600,000

Average operating assets 2,500,000

Return on Investment = $600,000/$2,500,000 x 100

= 24%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Sales                                  $4,000,000

Variable costs                     3,200,000

Contribution                        $800,000

Controllable fixed costs        300,000

Net operating income        $500,000

Average operating assets 2,500,000

Return on investment = Net Income/Average operating assets x 100 = $500,000/$2,500,000 x 100 = 20%

Contribution margin ratio = $800,000/$4,000,000 x 100 = 20%

The Atlantic Division's Return on Investment, as a performance measure, evaluates the efficiency of the investment in Atlantic Division.  This ratio is obtained by dividing the returns or benefits of the investment by the cost of the investment, and then multiplying by 100.

After then, the general ledger is utilized to produce the company's financial statements.  The idea behind a journal entry is to use double-entry accounting, which requires that every company transaction be recorded at least twice.

For instance, when you make a cash sale, the revenue account and the cash account are both increased. Alternatively, if you purchase items on credit, this raises both the accounts payable and inventory accounts.

Suppose that we have the following information concerning the government's finances and the macroeconomy for a given year: Government Debt: $12 trillion Inflation: 10% Nominal Deficit: $1.5 trillion What is the real deficit for the year

Answers

Answer: $300 billion

Explanation:

The real deficit that a Government has is one that has been adjusted for inflationary effects. It is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate times the total debt from the nominal deficit.

= Nominal deficit - (Inflation rate * Total debt)

Acme Company’s production budget for August is 17,700 units and includes the following component unit costs: direct materials, $6.0; direct labor, $10.2; variable overhead, $6.2. Budgeted fixed overhead is $34,000. Actual production in August was 18,630 units. Actual unit component costs incurred during August include direct materials, $8.40; direct labor, $9.60; variable overhead, $7.00. Actual fixed overhead was $35,700. The standard fixed overhead application rate per unit consists of $2 per machine hour and each unit is allowed a standard of 1 hour of machine time.Required:Calculate the fixed overhead budget variance and the fixed overhead volume variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

Answers

Answer:

a. $1,700 U

b. $3,260 F

Explanation:

a. Fixed over head budget variance = Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead

Actual fixed overhead = $35,700

Budgeted fixed overhead = $34,000

Fixed overhead budget variance = $35,700 - $34,000

= $1,700 U

b. Fixed overhead volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Standard fixed overhead

Standard fixed overhead application rate = $2 per machine hr × 1hr

= $2

Budgeted fixed overhead = $34,000

Standard fixed overhead = Standard hours for actual output × Budgeted rate

= (18,630 units × 1hr) × $2

= $37,260

Fixed overhead volume variance

= $34,000 - $37,260

= 3,260 F

Answers

Answer:

Lake would record goodwill of $365,000

Explanation:

Fair value of net assets = Fair value of current asset + Fair value of property, plant and equipment

Fair value of net assets = $125,000 + $765,000

Fair value of net assets = $890,000

Fair market value = Fair value of net assets - Liabilities assumed

Fair market value = $890,000 - 255,000

Fair market value = $635,000

Goodwill = Consideration - Fair market value

= $1,000,000 - $635,000

= $365,000

Hence, the amount of goodwill is $365,000.

Explanation:

If P = $2 then the Q will be;

Q = 20 - 4 * 2

Q = 20 - 8

Q = 12

The maximum annual membership fee will be equal to the amount of demand. The annual membership fee cannot be greater than the demand function if so there will be decline in the demand.

Sager Industries is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of $1,200,000 with a $300,000 residual value and a 10-year life. The equipment will replace three employees who has an average total wages of $180,000 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of $7,500 per year.
Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment.

Answers

Answer:

Average rate of return = 11%

Explanation:

Depreciation = (Cost of equipment - Residual value) / Useful years

Depreciation = (1,200,000-300,000) / 10

Depreciation = 90,000

Increase in net annual income = 180,000 - 90,000 - 7,500

Increase in net annual income = 82,500

Average investment = (1,200,000 + 300,000) / 2 = 750,000

Average rate of return = Increase in net annual income / Average investment

Average rate of return = 82,500/750,000

Average rate of return = 0.11

Average rate of return = 11%

Required:
Determine the cash payback period.

Answers

Answer:

It will take exactly 6 full years to cover for the initial investment.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $56,600

Initial investment= 339,600

The payback period is the time required for the cash flow to cover the initial investment:

Year 1= 56,600 - 339,600= -283,000

Year 2= 56,600 - 283,000= -226,400

Year 3= 56,600 - 226,400= -169,800

Year 4= 56,600 - 169,800= -113,200

Year 5= 56,600 - 113,200= -56,600

Year 6= 56,600 - 56,600= 0

It will take exactly 6 full years to cover for the initial investment.

Explanation:

Given the following parameters from the question:

Number of years = 5

N => Number of compounding periods = 5 * 2 = 10

FV => Face Value = $5,000

PV => Present Value = $4876

Percentage rate = 4.5%

PMT => Annuity Payment = Face Value * percentage

=> 5,000 * 0.045 = 225

Given that, it is semi annual rate, we have 225 / 2 = 112.5

CPT YTM or I/Y => Yield to Maturity = 2.53 * 2 = 5.07%

Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.65 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.35. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is , and the spending multiplier for this economy is .

Answers

Answer:

Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65

Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of increased disposable income that consumers spend. It is a metric to quantify the induced consumption and how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of increase in income.

MPC is calculated as follows,

MPC = Change in consumer spending / change in income

MPC = 0.65 / 1

MPC = 0.65

To calculate the multiplier, we simply use the following formula,

Multiplier or k = 1 / (1 - MPC)

k = 1 / (1 - 0.65)

k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

The marginal propensity to consume is a measure in economics that quantifies induced consumption, or the idea that private expenditure grows in tandem with disposable income.

The spending power is the amount of expendable cash spent on consumption by individuals.

The answers to the questions in the context are:

Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65

Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

The proportion of extra discretionary income spent by the customer is defined as the level of consumption (MPC).

It's a statistic for measuring induced consumption, or how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of an increase in income.

 

MPC is calculated as follows,

MPC = [tex]\frac{\text{Change in consumer spending}}{\text{change in income}}[/tex]

MPC = 0.65 / 1

MPC = 0.65

To calculate the multiplier:

Multiplier or k = [tex]\frac{1}{1-MPC}[/tex]

k = [tex]\frac{1}{1-0.65}[/tex]

k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

Therefore,

Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65

Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

A subcontractor is responsible for outfitting six satellites that will be used for solar research. Four of the six have been completed in a total of 600 hours. If the crew has a 75% learning curve, how long should it take them to finish the last two units?

Answers

Answer: ∑Tₓ = 201.222

time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

Explanation:

Given that,

total time required to four units is 600 hours,

Learning curve applied is 75% and from the learning curve coefficient table, total time factor to complete four units at 75% learning curve is 2.946

so

∑Tₙ = T₁ × total time factor

{ ∑Tₙ is total time required to complete all the units which is 600 hrs, T₁ is Time for first unit, total time factor = 2.946 }

we substitute

∑T₄ = ∑T₁ × total time factor

600 = ∑T₁ × 2.946

∑T₁  = 600/2.946

∑T₁  = 203.666 minutes

Now to get the total time required to complete 6 units, we say:

∑T₆ = ∑T₁ × total time factor

Note that total time factor at this point changes;

( from the learning curve coefficient table, total time factor to complete 6 units at 75% learning curve is 3.934)

so we substitute

∑T₆ = 203.666 × 3.934

∑T₆ = 801.222

Now to find how long should it take them to finish the last two units, we say

∑Tₓ = ∑T₆ - ∑T₄

∑Tₓ = 801.222 - 600

∑Tₓ = 201.222

Therefore time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

The time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

Given data

Total time required to four units is 600 hours

Learning curve applied is 75% and 75% learning curve is 2.946

∑Tₙ = T₁ × total time factor

{ ∑Tₙ is total time required to complete all the units which is 600 hrs, T₁ is Time for first unit, total time factor = 2.946 }

we substitute

∑T₄ = ∑T₁ × total time factor

600 = ∑T₁ × 2.946

∑T₁  = 600/2.946

∑T₁  = 203.666 minutes

Now to get the total time required to complete 6 units, we say:

∑T₆ = ∑T₁ × total time factor

so we substitute

∑T₆ = 203.666 × 3.934

∑T₆ = 801.222

Now, we will find how long should it take them to finish the last two units

∑Tₓ = ∑T₆ - ∑T₄

∑Tₓ = 801.222 - 600

∑Tₓ = 201.222

In conclusion, the time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

Jerry deposited $10,000 in a bank account, and 10 years later he closes out the account, which is worth $18,000. The annual rate of interest that Jerry has earned over the 10 years is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

r=  6.054% per year

Explanation:

given that

principal P=  $10,000

final amount A= $18,000

time t= 10 years

To find the annual rate we will use the formula below and solve for r

[tex]r = [(\frac{A}{P} )^\frac{1}{t} - 1][/tex]

Substituting our data into the expression and solving for r we have

[tex]r = [(\frac{18000}{10000} )^\frac{1}{10} - 1]\\\\r = [(1.8 )^\frac{1}{10} - 1]\\\\r = [(1.8 )^0^.^1 - 1]\\\\r = [(1.8 )^0^.^1 - 1]\\r={1.06054-1}\\\\r= 0.06054[/tex]  

Calculate rate of interest in percent

r = 0.06054* 100

r=  6.054% per year

c. only after all creditors have been paid.
d. to the partners on the basis of their income-sharing ratio.

Answers

Answer:

D. To the partners on the basis of their income-sharing ratio.

Explanation:

Partnership liquidation can be easily seen to come into existence indefinitely through periodic changes within the ownership, they are seen to occur by circumstances which are totally uncommon occurrence.

The form of the dissolution is irrelevant, whether by absenting by personal decision of individual member or wholesale departure and formal liquidation. The end result will be the same. The primary dream of these harmonious and synchronical growth of the firm will be seen to come to an end.

This is why it is best shared to the partners on the basis of their income sharing ratio.

A company has established 7 pounds of Material J at $2 per pound as the standard for the material in its Product Z. The company has just produced 1,000 units of this product, using 7,200 pounds of Material J that cost $13,080. The direct materials quantity variance is:

Answers

Answer:

-$400 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of direct materials quantity variance is shown below:-

Direct material quantity variance = (Standard Quantity × Standard Price) - (Actual quantity × Standard price)

= (1,000 × 7 × $2) - (7,200 × $2)

= $14,000 - $14,400

= -$400 unfavorable

Therefore for computing the direct material quantity variance we simply applied the above formula.

On the first day of the fiscal year, a company issues a $8,800,000, 7%, 10-year bond that pays semiannual interest of $308,000 ($8,800,000 × 7% × ½), receiving cash of $7,655,303. Required:Journalize the first interest payment and the amortization of the related bond discount.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:
