There is a 3 percent defect rate at a specific point in a production process. If an inspector is placed at this point, all the defects can be detected and eliminated. The inspector would cost $8 per hour and could inspect units in the process at the current production rate of 30 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass this point, there is a cost of $10 per defective unit to correct the defects later on. Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the current production rate) regardless of whether the inspector is hired or not. a. If an inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unit $ b.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1a. $2.67 cost per unit

1b. $0.3 cost per unit

1c. Yes

Explanation:

1a. Calculation for what will be the inspection cost per unit If an inspector is hired

The following details were given in the question.

Defective average =3/100= 0.03

inspection rate = 30 per hour

Cost of inspector = 8 per hour

Correction cost = $10 each

Using this formula

Hired inspector =Cost per hour/Current production rate per hour

Let plug in the formula

Hired inspector=8 per hour/30 rate per hour

Hired inspector =0.267×100

Hired inspector=$2.67 cost per unit

1b. Calculation for what will be the defective cost per unit If an inspector is not hired

Using this Formula

No inspector=Defect rate %/Cost per defective

Let plug in the formula

No inspector= 3/100×$10

No inspector= $0.3 cost per unit

1c. Based on the above calculation the inspector should be hired.

Answers

Answer:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $3,000 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard= 2 hours of labor per unit, at $12 per hour.

In producing 3800 units, Waterway used 7350 hours of labor.

To calculate the direct labor quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Standard quantity= 2*3,800= 7,600 hours

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (7,600 - 7,350)*12

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $3,000 favorable

2017          399,000                    30%                       119,700

In 2018, Indigo suffered a net operating loss of $487,000, which it elected to carry back. The 2018 enacted tax rate is 26%.

The objective is to prepare the Indigo's entry to record the effect of the loss carryback.

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = Taxable income(2018) × Tax rate(2018) + ( net operating loss - Taxable income(2018) )  × Tax rate(2018)

(332000 × 30%)+(476000-332000) × 30%

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable =  (332000 × 0.30)+(476000-332000) × 0.30

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = 99600 + 144000× 0.30

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = 99600 + 43200

The Income  Tax Refund Receivable = 142800

Therefore, Indigo Corporation ENtry can be prepared as follows:

Answers

Answer:

If output rises to 57,000 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be?

24.23%

What is the operating cash flow at 46,000 units?

$45,613.84

The degree of operating leverage (at 46,000 units)?

4.84

Explanation:

degree of operating leverage = [quantity x (price - variable costs)] / {[quantity x (price - variable costs)] - fixed costs}

degree of operating leverage x {[quantity x (price - variable costs)] - fixed costs} = [quantity x (price - variable costs)]

3.21 x {[53000 x (contribution margin)] - fixed costs} = [53000 x (contribution margin)]

(3.21 x 53000 x contribution margin) - (3.21 x 175000) = 53000 x contribution margin

let C = contribution margin

170130C - 561750 = 53000C

117130C = 561750

C = 561750 / 117130 = 4.795953

operating cash flow (at 53,000) = (53,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $79,185.52

operating cash flow (at 57,000) = (57,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $98,369.32

% change = ($98,369.32 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = 24.23%

operating cash flow (at 46,000) = (46,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $45,613.84

% change in operating cash flows = ($45,613.84 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = -43.4%

% change in sales = (46,000 - 53,000) / 53,000 = -13.21

degree of operating leverage = $220,613.84 / $45,613.74 = 4.84

Marston Manufacturing Company has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 8% if it was operated as an independent company. Division H is the company’s high-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 14% if it was operated as an independent company. Because the two divisions are the same size, the company has a composite weighted average cost of capital of 11%. Division H is considering a project with an expected return of 12%. Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project? Reject the project Accept the project On what grounds do you base your accept–reject decision? Division H’s project should be accepted, as its return is greater than the risk-based cost of capital for the division. Division H’s project should be rejected since its return is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division.

Answers

Answer:

Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project?

Marston C Company should reject the project because its expected return is lower than Division H's cost of capital.

Since the divisions' risk is so different, and probably their projects are also very different, the company should use different costs of capital to accept of reject the projects based on each division's cost of capital.

Imagine another situation where Division L is evaluating a project that yields 10%. If they used the company's WACC, then they should reject the project, but if they used the division's cost of capital, then they should accept the project (in this case I would recommend accepting it).

Explanation:

Division H's risk = 14%

Division L's risk = 8%

WACC = 11%

Compute the standard cost of the ingredients for one gallon of wine. (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.)

Answers

Answer:

$5.272

Explanation:

The computation of the standard cost of the ingredients for one gallon of wine is shown below:-

But before that we need to do the following calculations

3,360 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.02 per ounce is (Considering 4%)

= 3,360 × $0.02 ÷ 96%

= $70

54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.55 per pound is (Considering 10%)

= 54 × $0.55 ÷ 90%

= $33

60 lemons at $0.90 each is (Considering 25%)

= 60 × $0.90 ÷ 75%

= $72

150 yeast tablets at $0.26 each is

= 160 × $0.26

= $41.6

250 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each is

= 250 × $0.14

= $35

2,400 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce is

= 2,400 × $0.005

= $12

Therefore 50 gallon cost is = $70 + $33 + $72 + $41.6 + $35 + $12

= $263.6

So, cost per gallon = $263.6 ÷ 50

= $5.272

But if this money is borrowed either from an individual or a bank, the person is a borrower while the other party is the lender.

Option A is incorrect because money raised from someone makes the person borrowing a borrower and not a saver.

Option C and D are incorrect because the items needed for the business are not consumables, they are needed for the smooth running of the business, hence they are not consumption.

In October, Vaughn Company reports 21,200 actual direct labor hours, and it incurs $118,830 of manufacturing overhead costs. Standard hours allowed for the work done is 23,300 hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $4.95 per direct labor hour. Compute the total overhead variance.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $3,495F

Explanation:

The formula for computing total overhead variance is:

Actual overhead - overhead applied.

Overhead applied = overhead rate x standard hours allowed for the workdone.

$4.95 x 23,300 hours

=$115,335

Actual overhead is $118,830

Therefore, we have:

$118,830 - $115,335

= $3,495F

The F in the answer means favourable. The actual overhead incurred is greater than the overhead absorbed.

"At that time, the market price of ABC is $44. If the market rises to $58 and the call is exercised (the put expires out the money), the gain or loss is:"

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The computation of the gain or loss is shown below:

Since on Jan, there is a put option of 45 at $3 and the market rises to $58

So it losses by 13 points i.e

= 45 - 58

= 13

Now the total premium points collected is of 7 i.e

= 4 + 3

= 7

So, the remaining points left is

= 13 - 7

= 6

So for 6 points, the net loss is $600

A product selling in France has a price to the channel of EUR 10.00, fixed costs of EUR 33 million, and variable costs of EUR 4.50. How many units does the company have to sell to break even

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 6,000,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $10

Unitary variable cost= $4.5

Fixed costs= 33,000,000

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= 6,000,000

"Frank bought a house for $100,000. He put 20% down and borrowed the rest from the bank. However, the value of the house has now increased to $160,000 and he has paid off $20,000 of the bank loan. What is the equity that Frank has in his home

Answers

Answer:

$100,000

Explanation:

The computation of the equity in his home is shown below;

Given that

Increased in the value of the house = $160,000

And, the amount he has to paid is

= Borrowed amount - down payment

= $80,000 - ($100,000 × 20%)

= $80,000 - $20,000

= $60,000

So, the equity is

= $160,000 - $60,000

= $100,000

hence, the equity value is $100,000

Answer:

The equity that Frank has in his home is $100000

Explanation:

The purchase price of house = $100000

The down payment = 20% or $100000 ×20% = $20000

The remaining amount paid by bank = $80000

The increased value of house = $160,000

Payment of loan amount = $20000

The Value of house is $160000 and he pays $20000 to the bank as a part of loan payment so reaming amount that he has to pay the bank is ($80000-20000) = $60000.

Thus, his equity will be $100000.

The actual quantity of direct materials purchased 24,000 pounds

Standard price of direct materials price $6 per pound

Material price variance unfavorable -$6,000

Material quantity variance $2,400

Therefore;

Direct material price Variance = (Standard price - Actual price) × Actual quantity

- $6,000 = ($6 - Actual price ) × 24,000

-$6,000 = $144,000 - 24,000 AP

Cara has received a special order from a foreign company for 5,000 units. There is sufficient capacity to fill the order without jeopardizing regular sales. Filling the order will require spending an additional $4,250 for shipping.

If Cara wants to break even on the order, what should the unit sales price be?

A. $4.2

B. $5.05

C.$1.8

D. $2.65

Answers

Answer:

Selling price= $2.65

Explanation:

Because it is a special offer, and there is unused capacity, we will take into account only the incremental fixed costs.

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:

Unitary variable cost= 90,000/50,000= $1.8

Now, we can determine the total unitary cost and the selling price per unit:

Total unitary cost= (4,250/5,000) + 1.8= $2.65

Selling price= $2.65

"If Jason receives his quarterly bonus of $3,000 and spends $2,100 on a computer and puts the rest in his savings account, what is Jason’s MPC and MPS?"

Answers

Answer: 0.70; 0.30

Explanation:

Marginal propensity to consume(MPC) is the additional spending by an economic agent due to a rise in income while the marginal propensity to save is the additional saving by someone due to rise in income.

Increase in income = $3,000

Increase in spending = $2,100

Increase in savings = $3,000 - $2,100 = $900

MPC = $2,100/$3,000

= 0.70

MPS = $900/$3,000

= 0.30

Group of answer choices.

A. Mid-cap common stock

B. Municipal bond

C. Bank CD

D. Treasure STRIPS

Answer:

C. Bank CD

Explanation:

In this scenario, a 60-year old retiree is in a very low tax bracket. He has a low risk tolerance and wishes to make an investment that will provide income. A Bank certificate of deposit (CD) is the best recommendation.

A bank certificate of deposit (CD) can be defined as a secured form of time-bound deposit and a special low-risk savings account, wherein money (lump-sum) are left with the bank for a specific period of time in exchange for an interest rate premium.

Generally, a certificate of deposit pays a higher interest rate to its holder than the regular savings account because the banks invest the money in a business.

Additionally, the bank certificate of deposit is protected and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000.

Take a real business activity example and relate with the concept of commission depreciation and simple and compound interest rate?

Answers

Answer & Explanation: Commission: This is a percentage earned on total sales. Using a health insurance company as an example, brokers earn commission on premium received by the company.

Depreciation: This relates to the wear and tear of an asset. The health insurance company fixed assets such as motor vehicle, furniture and equipments will be depreciated and expensed periodically.

Simple and compound interest rates: Simple interest rate is a rate charged directly on the principal amount deposited. If the health insurance company decides to invest in fixed income or call deposits with a bank for a period of 1 year. The bank can put a specific rate that will be paid to the company as an interest earned.

Compound interest rate on the other hand is beneficial to the financier. It is a rate charged on both the principal amount and the interest earned. For instance if the company decides to take a loan with the bank, the bank can charge a compound interest rate.

Company accountants estimate that dropping industrial systems will decrease the fixed cost of goods sold by $82,000 and decrease fixed selling and administrative expenses by $15,000.

Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis to show whether Safety Step should drop the industrial systems product line.
b. Prepare contribution margin income statements to show Safety Step's total operating income under the two alternatives: (a) with the industrial systems line and (b) without the line. Compare the difference between the two alternatives' income numbers to your answer to Requirement 1.

Maurer, Inc., has an odd dividend policy. The company has just paid a dividend of $2 per share and has announced that it will increase the dividend by $6 per share for each of the next five years, and then never pay another dividend. If you require a return of 12 percent on the company’s stock, how much will you pay for a share today

Answers

Answer:

The maximum that should be paid for the stock today is $67.22

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the stock today, we will use the discounted cash flow or the DDM approach. The approach bases the value of the stock on the present value of the expected future cash flows from the stock. The cash flows in terms of stock are the dividend payments made by the stock. The formula to calculate the price or present value today under this approach is,

P0 = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  Dn / (1+r)^n

Where,

D1,D2,... are the dividends expected from the stock in year 1, year 2 and so on.r is the required rate of return

P0 = (2+6) / (1+0.12) +  (2+6+6) / (1+0.12)^2  +  (2+6+6+6) / (1+0.12)^3   +  

(2+6+6+6+6) / (1+0.12)^4  +  (2+6+6+6+6+6) / (1+0.12)^5

P0 = $67.22

Which of the following stocks is less risky? Stock Average Return Standard Deviation Coefficient of Variation X 10% 40% 4 Y 20% 40% 2

Answers

Answer:

Stock X has a CV of 4 while Stock Y has a CV of 2. As stock Y has a lower CV than Stock X, it is less riskier.

Explanation:

The coefficient of variation is a statistical model which is also used to determine the volatility per unit of a factor. In terms of a stock, the coefficient of variation calculates the volatility of its return. It is calculated by dividing the stock's standard deviation, which is a measure of risk, by the stock's mean return or expected return.

CV = SD / r

Where,

CV is coefficient of variationSD is standard deviationr is expected return

The CV of a stock tells us the risk per unit of return. The higher the CV, the riskier the stock and vice versa.

Stock X has a CV of 4 while Stock Y has  a CV of 2. As stock Y has a lower CV than Stock X, it is less riskier.
