Piels Corporation produces a part that is used in the manufacture of one of its products. The costs associated with the production of 10,000 units of this part are as follows:
Direct materials $ 90,000
Direct labor 130,000
Variable factory overhead 60,000
Fixed factory overhead 140,000
Total costs $420,000
Of the fixed factory overhead costs, $60,000 is avoidable. Conners Company has offered to sell 10,000 units of the same part to Piels Corporation for $36 per unit.
Required:
1. Assuming there is no other use for the facilities, Piels should ___________.

Answers

Answer:

It is cheaper to produce

Explanation:

Cost of producing

Direct materials - 90000

Direct labor - 130000

Variable factory overhead - 60000

Fixed factory overhead - 60000

Total cost - 340000

Cost of buying `10000*36 = 360000

Incremental cost of buying = 360000-340000 = $20,000

It is cheaper to produce at 340000/10000 = $34 /unit

In making a decision whether to buy or manufacture , variable cost and the  avoidable costs are considered relevant for this purpose

Pochard Paints manufactures artist’s oil paints. Each 40 ml tube of paint requires 5 minutes of direct labor, and the standard labor rate is $9 per direct labor hour. In September, Pochard incurred 10,800 direct labor hours at a cost of $95,000 to produce 120,000 tubes of paint. Calculate Pochard’s direct labor rate variance for September. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. If variance is zero, select "Not Applicable" and enter 0 for the amounts.)

Answers

Answer:

Direct labor rate variance= $2,160 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The standard labor rate is $9 per direct labor hour.

In September, Pochard incurred 10,800 direct labor hours for $95,000.

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

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Actual rate= 95,000/10,800= $8.80

Direct labor rate variance= (9 - 8.8)*10,800

Direct labor rate variance= $2,160 favorable

It is favorable because the hourly rate was cheaper than estimated.

The following data pertain to last year's operations at Tredder Corporation, a company that produces a single product: Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 20,000 Units sold 19,000 Selling price per unit $100.00 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $12.00 Direct labor $25.00 Variable manufacturing overhead $3.00 Variable selling and administrative $2.00 Fixed expenses per year: Fixed manufacturing overhead $500,000 Fixed selling and administrative $600,000 What was the absorption costing net operating income last year?

Answers

Answer:

Net operating income= 27,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units produced 20,000

Units sold 19,000

Selling price per unit $100.00

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $12.00

Direct labor $25.00

Variable manufacturing overhead $3.00

Variable selling and administrative $2.00

Fixed expenses per year:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $500,000

Fixed selling and administrative $600,000

Under the absorption costing method, the fixed manufacturing overhead gets included in the unitary production cost. First, we need to calculate the unitary product cost.

Unitary product cost= (12 + 25 + 3) + (500,000/20,000)

Unitary product cost= 40 + 25= $65

Income statement:

Sales= 100*19,000= 1,900,000

COGS= 65*19,000= (1,235,000)

Gross profit= 665,000

Variable selling and administrative= (2*19,000)=(38,000)

Fixed selling and administrative= (600,000)

Net operating income= 27,000

The largest national herbal supplement store is running a sale on its excess supply of Vitamin C supplements. With this new price change what do you think will happen to the Vitamin C supplement market? a. There will be a shift if the demand curve as demand increases. b. There will be an increase only in the quantity demanded. c. There will be a decrease in the quantity demanded. d. There will be a shift in the supply curve as supply increases.

Answers

Answer:

 b. There will be an increase only in the quantity demanded.

Explanation:

The law of demand states that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

So if there's a sale, vitamin c would become cheaper and the quantity demanded would increase. This would lead to a movement along the demand curve and not a shift.

Kevin, Rajiv, and Yakov are hunters who live next to a recreational wildlife game area that is open to hunting; in other words, anyone is free to use the recreational wildlife game area for hunting. Assume that these men are the only three hunters who hunt in this recreational wildlife game area and that the recreational wildlife game area is large enough for all three hunters to hunt intensively at the same time.

Each year, the hunters choose independently how often to hunt; specifically, they choose whether to hunt intensively (that is, to set several traps and hunt long hours, which hurts the sustainability of the recreational wildlife game area if enough people do it) or to hunt nonintensively (which does not hurt the sustainability of the recreational wildlife game area). None of them has the ability to control how much the others hunt, and each hunter cares only about his own profitability and not the state of the recreational wildlife game area.

Assume that as long as no more than one hunter hunts intensively, there are enough animals to restock the recreational wildlife game area. However, if two or more hunt intensively, the recreational wildlife game area will become useless in the future. Of course, hunting intensively earns a hunter more money and greater profit because he can sell more animals.

The recreational wildlife game area is an example of _____________ because the animals in the recreational wildlife game area are ________ and ___________.

Answers

Answer: Common resource ,

              Non excludable and Rival in consumption

Explanation:

Common resource is defined as the resource that is usually available to people in open form and people tend to overuse it.This creates shortage of resource and brings scarcity.They are considered rival in nature.Any good is considered rival if consumption of good by one person reduces consumption of that good for another person. It is regarded as subtractable.Non-excludable good is defined as the good that does not stop other people or group of people to consume or use it.There is no certain restriction of using particular good.

According to the questions scenario, recreational wildlife game area is common resource because Yakov, Rajiv and Kevin are using that area for hunting openly .Other hunters can also use the area for hunting as it is available commonly for everyone as per their needs.

Animal of wildlife game area can be considered rival and non-excludable in consumption because they are openly available for hunter and there is no restriction on their usage (hunting) particularly.Thus, if a hunter hunts more number of animals using intensive hunting mechanism, it will reduce number of animals for other hunters .

Answers

Answer:

The computation of the transaction price based on the expected value approach is shown below:

The formula is

Date                                 Calculation                              Amount

July 31, 2018         ($950,000+$50,000) × 0.65    $650,000

August 7, 2018 ($950,000+$40,000) × 0.25           $247,500

August 14, 2018 ($950,000+$30,000) × 0.05          $49,000

August 21, 2018 ($950,000+$20,000) × 0.05   $48,500

Total                                                                    $995,000  

Since the bonus is reduced $10,000 each week so $10,000 is deducted for every delayed week

A work center uses kanban containers that hold 200 parts. To produce enough parts to fill a container, 60 minutes of setup plus run time are needed. Moving the container to the next workstation, waiting time, processing time at the next work station, and return of the empty container take 120 minutes. There is an overall demand rate of 10 units per minute. Calculate the number of containers needed for this process.

Answers

Answer:

9 containers

Explanation:

Data given

Container holds (capacity) = 200 units

Demand rate per minute = 10 units

The computation of number of containers needed is shown below:-

Time to fill container = Setup time + Processing time

= 60 + 120

= 180 minutes

Number of containers (n) = (Demand × Time to fill container) ÷ Capacity of the container

= (10 × 180) ÷ 200

= 1,800 ÷ 200

= 9 containers

Therefore for computing the number of containers we simply applied the above formula.

Flychucker Corporation is evaluating an extra dividend versus a share repurchase. In either case $19,000 would be spent. Current earnings are $1.40 per share, and the stock currently sells for $50 per share. There are 5,000 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes and other imperfections. a. Evaluate the two alternatives in terms of the effect on the price per share of the stock and shareholder wealth per share

Answers

Answer:

Alternative I: (Extra dividend)

Price per share is $ 46.20

Shareholder wealth per share is $ 42.40

Alternative II: ( Share repurchase)

For share repurchase, the price per share and the shareholder wealth is equal to the stock price.

Explanation:

Alternative I: (Extra dividend)

Amount spent = $19,000

Outstanding shares = 5,000 shares

Stock price = $50

Price per share = Stock price - [tex]\frac{Amount spent}{Outstanding Shares}[/tex]

= $50 - [tex]\frac{19,000}{5,000}[/tex] = $50 - $3.8

= $ 46.20

Shareholder wealth per share = Price per share - [tex]\frac{Amount spent}{Outstanding Shares}[/tex]

= $46.20 - $3.8

=$ 42.40

Alternative II: ( Share repurchase)

For share repurchase, the price per share and the shareholder wealth is equal to the stock price.

Wicker Rockers, Inc. is planning to offer a defined contribution plan for its employees. The company would like to incorporate a "cliff" vesting schedule for the employer contributions into the plan. What is the minimum vesting period the company can choose for a "cliff" vesting schedule

Answers

Answer:3 years

Explanation:

Cliff vesting is when an employee of a company becomes fully vested on a specified date rather than the employee becoming partially vested in increasing amounts over extended period. Cliff Vesting is a process whereby the employees are entitled to full benefits from their firm’s pension policies and qualified retirement plans on a given date.

a.$44,000.

b.$100,000.

c.$104,000.

d.$160,000.

Option A,$44,000 is correct

Explanation:

In the year 2017,an unrealized loss of $60,000 was recorded on the investment i.e fair value at year end of $1,200,000 minus the cost of the investment of $1,260,000

In the year 2018,the total cash proceeds from sale of investment=($17*80,000)-$56,000=$1,304,000

The realized gain on sale of stock in 2018=cash proceeds-fair value-unrealized loss of $60,000=$1,304,000-$1,200,000-$60,000 =$44,000

The predetermined overhead rate for Zane Company is $5, comprised of a variable overhead rate of $3 and a fixed rate of $2. The amount of budgeted overhead costs at normal capacity of $150000 was divided by normal capacity of 30000 direct labor hours, to arrive at the predetermined overhead rate of $5. Actual overhead for June was $9500 variable and $6050 fixed, and standard hours allowed for the product produced in June was 3000 hours. The total overhead variance is

Answers

Answer:

Total Overhead Variance= $500 unfavorable

Explanation:

The total overhead variance is the difference between actual overhead and the applied overhead.

Actual Overhead = Variable + Fixed= $9500 + $6050= $ 15,550

Budgeted Overhead for 30000 direct labor hours = $ 150,000

Applied Overhead for 3000 hours = 3000 *$5= $15000

Total Overhead Variance= Actual Overhead Less Applied Overhead

                                    = $15,500- $ 15000= $500 unfavorable

As actual is greater than applied it is unfavorable.

Answer:

$550 unfavorable.

Explanation:

Total actual overhead = $9,500 + $6,050 = $15,550

Total predetermined overhead = Predetermined overhead rate * Standard hours = $5 * 3,000 = $15,000

Total overhead variance = $15,550 - $15,000 = $550 unfavorable.

Note: It is unfavorable because total actual is greater than total predetermined overhead.

Exercise 8-14 Inventory cost flow methods; perpetual system [LO8-1, 8-4] Altira Corporation uses a perpetual inventory system. The following transactions affected its merchandise inventory during the month of August 2018: Aug.1 Inventory on hand—2,100 units; cost $6.20 each. 8 Purchased 10,500 units for $5.60 each. 14 Sold 8,400 units for $12.10 each. 18 Purchased 6,300 units for $5.40 each. 25 Sold 7,400 units for $11.10 each. 31 Inventory on hand—3,100 units. Exercise 8-14 Part 1 Required: 1. Determine the inventory balance Altira would report in its August 31, 2018, balance sheet and the cost of goods sold it would report in its August 2018 income statement using the FIFO method. (Round "Cost per Unit" to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

a. The inventory balance Altira would report in its August 31, 2018, balance sheet is $16,740.

b. Cost of good sold = $89,100

Explanation:

a. Determine the inventory balance Altira would report in its August 31, 2018, balance sheet

Based on FIFO method, we have:

Inventory 8,400 sold on Aug. 14 = 2,100 units from Aug. 1 beginning balance+ 6,300 units from Aug. 8 Purchases

Aug. 8 purchases balance after the Agug 14. sales = 10,500 - 6,300 = 4,200 units

Inventory 7,400 sold on Aug. 25 = 4,200 from Aug. 8 balance+ 3,200 from Aug. 18 Purchases

Aug. 18 purchases balance after the Agug 25. sales = 6,300 - 3,200 = 3,100 units

Value of closing inventory = 3,100 * 5.40 = $16,740

Therefore, the inventory balance Altira would report in its August 31, 2018, balance sheet is $16,740.

b. Determine the cost of goods sold it would report in its August 2018 income statement using the FIFO method.

Beginning inventory value = 2,100 * 6.20 = $13,020

Value of purchases = (10,500 * $5.60) + (6,300 * $5.40) = $92,820

Value of closing inventory = $16,740

Cost of good sold = $13,020 + $92,820 - $16,740 = $89,100

1. b. $42 per unit

2. a. $32 per unit

3. d. $69,200

4. b $72,600

Explanation:

1 and 2 The computation of unit productive cost using absorption costing and unit product cost using variable costing is shown below:-

                                     Absorption        Variable

Direct material                   $15                   $15

Direct labor                         $5                    $5

Variable manufacturing

overhead                             $12                  $12

Fixed manufacturing

overhead                              $10        

($20,000 ÷ 2000)  

Product cost                        $42                $32

Therefore for computing the product cost of absorption and variable cost we simply added direct material, direct labor, variable manufacturing overhead and fixed overhead rate

3. The computation of the unit product cost using variable costing is shown below:-

Sales                                          $180,000

Cost of goods manufactured   ($756,00)

(1800 × $42)

Difference                                   $104,400

Variable and selling

administrative                             ($25,200)

(1800 × $14)

Gross profit                                  $79,200

Fixed selling and administrative

expenses                                     ($10,000)

Net operating income                $69,200

So, for computing the net operating income we simply deduct the Fixed selling and administrative expenses from gross profit.

4. The computation of operating income using variable costing is shown below:-

Sales                                               $190,000

(1,900 × $100)

Variable cost of goods

manufactured                                   $60,800

(1,900 × $32)

Gross contribution margin                $129,200

Variable and selling administrative   ($26,600)

(1900 × $14)

Net contribution margin                     $102,600

Fixed cost                                           ($30,000)

Operating income                              $72,600

Therefore for computing the operating income using variable costing we simply deduct the fixed cost from net contribution margin.

If Brenmar reduces its average collection period to 15 ​days, what will be its new level of accounts​ receivable? c. ​Brenmar's inventory turnover ratio is 9.2 times. What is the level of​ Brenmar's inventories?

Answers

Answer:

a. 31.70 days

b. $266,054.79

c. $667,608.70

Explanation:

a. If​ Brenmar's accounts receivable equal $ 562 comma 300​, what is its average collection​ period?

Credit sales = $8,300,000 * 78% = $6,474,000

Average collection​ period = (Accounts receivable / Credit sales) * 365 = ($562,300 / $6,474,000) * 365 = 31.70 days

b. If Brenmar reduces its average collection period to 15 ​days, what will be its new level of accounts​ receivable?

Average Collection Period=365*Account Receivables/Credit Sales

New Account Receivables =Average Collection Period * (Credit Sales / 365) = 15 * ($6,474,000 / 365) = $266,054.79

c. ​Brenmar's inventory turnover ratio is 9.2 times. What is the level of​ Brenmar's inventories?

Gross Profit = Sales * Gross Profit Margin = $8,300,000 * 26% = $2,158,000

Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross Profit = $8,300,000 - 2,158,000 = $6,142,000

Inventory = Cost of goods sold / Inventory Turnover Ratio = $6,142,000 / 9.2 = $667,608.70
