+ Accounts payable increase $3,200
- Decreased wages payable ($2,720)
Net cash $146,150
b) Briefly explain why net cash flow from operating activities is different other than net income.
The reason is that while net income refers to the earned profit by a company for a period ; cash flow from operating activities are measurement of daily cash (in and out) expended on business operation. Cash flow give explanation on the use of cash in an organization on a daily basis which includes net income from the income statement, changes in working capital, adjustments to net profits etc. t is to be noted that the starting point of calculating cash flow from operating activities is the net income.
fremont which uses the high-low method reported total cost of $10 per unit its lowest production level, 5000 units. when production tripled to its highest level, the total cost per unit dropped to $5 variable cost per unit
Answer:
$2.50
Explanation:
Calculation for the estimation of variable cost per unit
Units Total cost
High method 15,000×$5 per units =$75,000
(5,000*3)=15,000
Low method 5,000*$10 per units=$50,000
Difference 10,000 $25,000
Variable cost per unit =$25,000/10,000
Variable cost per unit=$2.50
Note: Based on the information given we were told that production tripled to its highest level which means the high method units will be 15,000 units (5,000 units*3)
Therefore Fremont would estimate its variable cost per unit as: $2.50
Suppose you invest $20,000 by purchasing 200 shares of Abbott Labs (ABT) at $50 per share, 200 shares of Lowes (LOW) at $30 per share, and 100 shares of Ball Corporation (BLL) at $40 per share. Suppose over the next year Ball has a return of %, Lowes has a return of %, and Abbott Labs has a return of . The return on your portfolio over the year is:
Answer:
3.8%
Explanation:
There are some important parts missing:
Suppose over the next year Ball has a return of 12.5%, Lowes has a return of 21%, and Abbott Labs has a return of -10%.
We must first determine the weight of each stock in the portfolio:
ABT = ($50 x 200) / $20,000 = 50%LOW = ($30 x 200) / $20,000 = 30%BLL = ($40 x 100) / $20,000 = 20%the expected return of the portfolio = (ABT x return) + (LOW x return) + (BLL x return) = (50% x -0.1) + (30% x 0.21) + (20% x .125) = -5% + 6.3% + 2.5% = 3.8%

What is the expected return if a firm has a payout ratio of 0.4, a return on equity of 25%, and a dividend yield of 15%
Answer:
The expected return on stock is 30%
Explanation:
Growth rate = Return on Equity * Retention ratio
Growth rate = Return on Equity * (1- Payout ratio)
Growth rate = 25% * (1 - 0.40)
Growth rate = 0.25 * 0.60
Growth rate = 0.15
Growth rate = 15%
Hence, Expected return = Dividend return + Growth rate
Expected return = 15% + 15%
Expected return = 30%
Therefore, the expected return on stock is 30%
J. Ross and Sons Inc. has a target capital structure that calls for 40 percent debt, 10 percent preferred stock, and 50 percent common equity. Ross' common stock currently sells for $40 per share. The firm recently paid a dividend of $2 per share on its common stock, and investors expect the dividend to grow indefinitely at a constant rate of 10 percent per year. J. Ross's cost of retained earnings is closest to:
Answer:
J. Ross's cost of retained earnings is 18.33%
Explanation:
Cost of retained earnings is also call Cost of Equity
Cost of retained earnings = (Dividend per share for next year / Current market value of stock) + Growth rate of dividend
Cost of retained earnings = 2 / 40(1-40%) + 10%
Cost of retained earnings = 2 / 24 + 10%
Cost of retained earnings = 0.08333 + 0.1
Cost of retained earnings = 0.183333
Cost of retained earnings = 18.3333%
Cost of retained earnings = 18.33%
For an automobile company, the total overhead applied was $48,000,000 at the end of the year. Actual overhead was $52,850,000. Closing over/under applied overhead into cost of goods sold would cause net income to:
Answer:
Net income decreased by $4,850,000.
Explanation:
Given total overhead applied = $48000000
The actual overhead = $52850000
Over/under Applied overhead = total overhead applied - Actual overhead at the end of the year.
Over / under Applied overhead = 48000000-52850000
Over / under Applied overhead = -$4850000
From the calculation, it can be seen that the overhead is underapplied therefore when under applied overhead allocated to cost of goods sold then cost of goods sold decreased by $4850000.

Bandar Industries Berhad of Malaysia manufactures sporting equipment. One of the company’s products, a football helmet for the North American market, requires a special plastic. During the quarter ending June 30, the company manufactured 3,400 helmets, using 2,346 kilograms of plastic. The plastic cost the company $15,484. According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.64 kilograms of plastic, at a cost of $7.00 per kilogram. Required: 1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,400 helmets? 2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 3,400 helmets? 3. What is the materials spending variance? 4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?
Answer:
1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,400 helmets?
3,400 helmets x 064 kgs per helmet = 2,176 kgs
2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 3,400 helmets?
2,176 kgs x $7 per kg = $15,232
3. What is the materials spending variance?
$15,484 - $15,232 = $252 unfavorable (because total expenditures on materials were higher than budgeted)
4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?
materials price variance = [($15,484/2,346) - $7] x 2,346 = -$938 favorable (the purchase price per kg was lower than budgeted)
materials quantity variance = (2,346 - 2,176) x $7 = $1,190 unfavorable

1. $3,500 favorable.
2. $3,500 unfavorable.
3. $4,000 favorable.
4. $4,000 unfavorable.
Answer:
$3,500 Unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of variable overhead efficiency variance for Clan for November Year 2 is shown below:-
Variable overhead efficiency variance
= (Standard labor hours - actual labor hours) × (Standard variable overhead rate)
= (3,500 × 2 - 7,500) × $7
= (7,000 - 7,500) × $7
= $3,500 Unfavorable
Therefore for computing the Variable overhead efficiency variance we simply applied the above formula.
The ending finished goods inventory for each month equals 50% of next month's sales in units . How many units must be produced in February?
Answer: 15,751.5 units
Explanation:
Units produced in February are calculated as;
Units Produced = Ending Finished goods - Beginning Finished goods + Budgeted Sales
Ending finished goods inventory for each month equals 50% of next month's sales in units.
Ending finished goods for February
= 50% * 15,581
= 7,790.5 units
Ending finished goods for January is beginning for February
= 50% * 15,922
= 7,961
Units Produced = Ending Finished goods - Beginning Finished goods + Budgeted Sales
= 7,790.5 - 7,961 + 15,922
= 15,751.5 units

Rank the following investments from lowest to highest, for overall historical returns experienced by investors over long periods of time:
a. Treasury Bills
b. AAA Rated Corporate Bonds
c. Common Stocks
Answer:
Treasury BillsAAA Rated Corporate BondsCommon StocksExplanation:
Treasury Bills are considered risk-less investments. As a result the interest rate will not be adjusted for risk and will be relatively low compared to other securities. It will give the lowest return overtime here.
AAA Rated Corporate Bonds are the highest rated Corporate bonds there are. Even still, they will pay an interest rate that has a little risk premium in it which will make its returns overtime higher than a T-bill.
Common Stocks will provide the highest rate of return overtime on average simply because as well as the dividend payments that are paid to holders, the stock also has a chance of rising in value overtime which will give the holder a Capital gain as well. Something that the other 2 investments cannot give.

Answer:
Luther Corporation
Current Ratio for 2006 is closest to:
1.1 : 1
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total Current Assets = $144 million
Total Current Liabilities = $132 million
Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
= $144/$132
= 1.1 : 1
b) Luther Corporation's current ratio is a liquidity measure that shows Luther's ability to pay off short-term obligations worth $132 million or those due within one year with its current assets of $144 million. The ratio tells investors and analysts of Luther Corporation how Luther can use its current assets to pay off its current debts. Since Luther's current ratio is higher than 1, it is considered good, depending on the industry average. This means that Luther's current ratio of 1.1 : 1 should not be considered in isolation, but in comparison with other firms in the industry and its performance over a number of years.

Controllable fixed costs 300,000
Average operating assets 2,500,000
Management is considering the following independent alternative courses of action in 2020 in order to maximize the return on investment for the division.
1. Reduce controllable fixed costs by 10% with no change in sales or variable costs.
2. Reduce average operating assets by 10% with no change in controllable margin.
3. Increase sales $500,000 with no change in the contribution margin percentage.
Compute the return on investment for 2019.
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.
