Fruit Computer Company makes a fruit themed computer. Variable costs are $220 per unit, and fixed costs are $32,000 per month. Fruit Computer Company sells 500 units per month at a sales price of $300. The company believes that it can increase the price if the computer quality is upgraded. If so, the variable cost will increase to $240 per unit, and the fixed costs will rise by 50%. The CEO wishes to increase the company's operating income by 25%. Which sales price level would give the desired results
Answer:
Fruit Computer Company
The sales price level that would give the desired results is:
= $356 per unit
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Variable costs per unit = $220
Fixed costs per month = $32,000
Monthly sales units = 500 units
Selling price per unit = $300
Before Change After Change
Sales revenue $150,000 $178,000 ($168,000 + $10,000)
Variable costs 110,000 120,000
Fixed costs 32,000 48,000
Total costs $142,000 $168,000
Operating income $8,000 $10,000 ($8,000 * 1.25)
The sales price level that would give the desired results is $356 ($178,000/500). This represents an increase of 18.7% ($56/$300 * 100).
Tucker Company's Work in Process account decreased by $1,000, while its Finished Goods Inventory account increased by $500. Assuming total manufacturing costs were $5,000, what was the company's cost of goods sold amount?
Answer:
$5500.
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below:
Let us assume beginning WIP be $2000
So,
ending WIP is
= ($2000 - $1000)
= $1000
And,
Let us assume the beginning finished goods be $1000
So, the ending finished goods is
= ($1000 + $500)
= $1500
Now as we know that
Cost of goods manufactured = Total manufacturing cost + Beginning WIP - Ending WIP
= $5000 + $2000 - $1000
= $6000
Now
cost of goods sold=Cost of goods manufactured+Beginning finished goods-Ending finished goods
= $6000 + $1000 - $1500
=$5500.

Dunbar sold 640 units of inventory during the month. Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost would be: (Round weighted-average unit cost to 4 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Answer:
$428.13
Explanation:
Note The missing word have been attached as picture below
Weighted average cost per unit = [(450*$2.18) + (370*$2.62)] / (450 + 370)
Weighted average cost per unit = ($981 + $969.4) / 820
Weighted average cost per unit = $1950.4 / 820
Weighted average cost per unit = 2.378536585365854
Weighted average cost per unit = $2.3785
Ending inventory unit = 450 + 370 - 640
Ending inventory unit = 180
Value of ending inventory = $2.3785 * 180 units
Value of ending inventory = $428.13
On Jan. 1, 2018, your cousin, Laura, purchased one $1,000, 5-year semiannual bond with a coupon rate of 8%. The yield of the bond was 8% at the time. How much did Laura pay for the bond?
Answer:
the amount pay for the bond is $1,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount pay for the bond is shown below:
Given that
Future value be $1,000
NPER is 5 × 2 = 10
RATE = 8% ÷ 2 = 4%
PMT = $1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40
The formula is given below:
=-PV(RATE,NPER,PMT,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the present value is $1,000
Hence, the amount pay for the bond is $1,000
During its first year of operations, the McCormick Company incurred the following manufacturing costs: Direct materials, $4 per unit, Direct labor, $2 per unit, Variable overhead, $3 per unit, and Fixed overhead, $160,000. The company produced 20,000 units, and sold 15,000 units, leaving 5,000 units in inventory at year-end. What is the value of ending inventory under absorption costing
Answer: $85,000
Explanation:
Find out the cost of per unit of inventory under absorption costing:
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead + Fixed overhead per unit
= 4 + 2 + 3 + 160,000 / 20,000 units
= 4 + 2 + 3 + 8
= $17 per unit
If 5,000 units are left, the value of those units are:
= 5,000 * 17
= $85,000

= $38,613.80
Hence, the real value of the investment in 10 years is $38,614
The same should be calculated
Forsyth Company manufactures one product, it does not maintain any beginning or ending inventories, and its uses a standard cost system. During the year, the company produced and sold 10,000 units at a price of $155 per unit. Its standard cost per unit produced is $125 and its selling and administrative expenses totaled $245,000. Forsyth does not have any variable manufacturing overhead costs and it recorded the following variances during the year:
Materials price variance $6,800 F
Materials quantity variance $10,500 U
Labor rate variance $3,800 U
Labor efficiency variance $4,700 F
Fixed overhead budget variance $2,800 F
Fixed overhead volume variance $12,300 F
Required:
a. When Forsyth closes its standard cost variances, the cost of goods sold will increase (decrease) by how much?
b. Prepare an income statement for the year.
Answer:
a. Cost of goods sold will decrease by $12,300.
b. Net income = $67,300
Explanation:
a. When Forsyth closes its standard cost variances, the cost of goods sold will increase (decrease) by how much?
This can be determined by calculating the net variance as follows:
Forsyth Company
Calculation of Net Variance
Details Amount ($)
Materials price variance (F) 6,800
Materials quantity variance (U) (10,500)
Labor rate variance (U) (3,800)
Labor efficiency variance (F) 4,700
Fixed overhead budget variance (F) 2,800
Fixed overhead volume variance (F) 12,300
Net variance 12,300
Since the net variance of $12,300 is positive which is favorable, this implies that the cost of goods sold will decrease by $12,300.
b. Prepare an income statement for the year.
The income statement for the year can be prepared as follows:
Forsyth Company

Suppose that a small family farm sold its output for $100,000 in a given year. The family spent $25,000 on fuel; $40,000 on seed, fertilizer, and pesticides; and $25,000 on equipment, including maintenance. The family members could have earned $20,000 working at other occupations. What is the family's accounting cost? What is the family's economic cost? Could the family's economic cost ever exceed its accounting cost? Why or why not?
Answer:
Accounting Cost
Accounting costs refers to the explicit costs which ar the actual costs related to the business venture. In this case that would be:
= Fuel costs + Seed costs + Equipment
= 25,000 + 40,000 + 25,000
= $90,000
Economic cost
This includes the accounting costs and then adds the implicit costs which are the opportunity costs of choosing the current business venture. In this case it is the $20,000 they could have been making working at other occupations.
= Accounting cost + Salary foregone
= 90,000 + 20,000
= $110,000
Economic costs will always be higher than Accounting costs because they include both the accounting costs and opportunity costs.

Andrews Corporation has income from operations of $240,000. In addition, it received interest income of $24,000 and received dividend income of $29,500 from another corporation. Finally, it paid $11,800 of interest income to its bondholders and paid $45,000 of dividends to its common stockholders. The firm's federal tax rate is 21%. What is the firm's federal income tax
Answer: $54,820.50
Explanation:
Federal income tax = Taxable income * tax rate
Taxable income = Income from operations + Interest income received + Dividend income received - Interest income paid
= 240,000 + 24,000 + (30% * 29,500) - 11,800
= $261,050
Federal income tax = 261,050 * 21%
= $54,820.50
Note: Only 30% of Dividends received are taxable

Zephyr Inc. sells wind based systems for generating electricity. The company pays no dividends, but you estimate the stock will be worth $50 per share 5 years from now and you require a 15% rate of return for stock investments of this type. What price should you be willing to pay for this stock?A) $12.50.
B) $24.86.
C) $43.48.
D) $57.50.
Answer:
$24.86
Explanation:
The estimated stock of Zephyrl is $50
This is for a period of 5 years
The rate of return is 15%
Therefore the price that will be paid for this stock can be calculated as foloes
50= x (15/100^5)
50= x (0.15+1^5)
50= x (1.15^5)

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x
= 50/2.0113
= 24.86
Hence the price that will be paid for the stock is $24.86
On January 1, 20X1 when the effective interest rate was 14%, a company issued bonds with a maturity value of $1,000,000. The stated rate of interest is 12%, the bonds pay interest semi-annually and sold for $893,640. The amount of bond discount amortized on July 1, 20X1 is approximately:__________.
Answer: $2,555
Explanation:
Bond discount amortization = Interest cost - Coupon payment
Coupon payment = Stated interest * Par value
= 12% * 1,000,000 * 6/12 months
= $60,000
Interest cost = Issue price * effective interest
= 893,640 * 14% * 6/12
= $62,554.80
Amortized amount:
= 62,554.80 - 60,000
= $2,554.80
= $2,555

1. Center of the World. The Ecuadorian sucre (S) suffered from hyper-inflationary forces throughout 1999. Its value moved from S5,000/$ to S25,000/$. What was the percentage change in its value?2. Reais Reality. The Brazilian reais (R$) value was R$1.80/$ on Thursday, January 24, 2008. Its value fell to R$2.39/$ on Monday, January 26, 2009. What was the percentage change in its value?
Answer:
1- The percentage change in the value of the Ecuadorian Sucre was an increase of 400%.
2- The change in the percentage of the value of the Brazilian Real was a decrease of 32.77% of its value.
Explanation:
1- Given that the Ecuadorian sucre (S) suffered from hyper-inflationary forces throughout 1999, and its value moved from S5,000 / $ to S25,000 / $, to determine what was the percentage change in its value, the following calculation:
5000 = 100
25000 = X
25000 x 100/5000 = X
2500000/5000 = X
500 = X
500 - 100 = 400
Therefore, the percentage change in the value of the Ecuadorian Sucre was an increase of 400%.
2- Given that the Brazilian reais (R $) value was R $ 1.80 / $ on Thursday, January 24, 2008, and its value fell to R $ 2.39 / $ on Monday, January 26, 2009, to determine what was the percentage change in its value the following calculation must be performed:
1.80 = 100
2.39 = X
2.39 x 100 / 1.8 = X
239 / 1.8 = X
132.77 = X
132.77 - 100 = 32.77
Therefore, the change in the percentage of the value of the Brazilian Real was a decrease of 32.77% of its value.
Han Products manufactures 29,000 units of part S-6 each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part S-6 is:
Direct materials $3.70
Direct labor 12.00

Total cost per part $27.00
An outside supplier has offered to sell 29,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $23 per part. If Han Products accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture part S-6 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $79,000. However, Han Products has determined that two-thirds of the fixed manufacturing overhead being applied to part S-6 would continue even if part S-6 were purchased from the outside supplier.
Required:
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the outside supplier’s offer?
Answer:
Financial advantage of accepting supplier's offer = $21,000
Explanation:
Relevant costs saved by outsourcing production:
Direct materials $3.70
Direct labor $12.00
Variable manufacturing overhead $2.30
Fixed manufacturing overhead $9.00 * 1/3 = $3
Total cost per part $21.00
Total savings per year = $21 * 29,000 = $609,000
Additional rental income = $79,000
Total = $688,000
Cost of purchasing 29,000 parts = $23 * 29,000 = $667,000
Financial advantage of accepting supplier's offer = $21,000
