The following information is available regarding the total manufacturing overhead of Molsen Company for a recent four-month period. Molsen's projected August operations will require approximately 110,000 machine hours. Using the high-low method, compute total manufacturing overhead estimated for August. Group of answer choices $177,500. $187,500. $197,500. $198,000.
Answer:
$198,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the total manufacturing overhead estimated for August is
First step is to calculate the Variable element
Variable element=($198,000 - $153,000)/(110,000 - 80,000)
Variable element=$45,000/30,000
Variable element= $1.50
Second step is to calculate the Fixed element
Fixed element=$198,000 - ($1.50 x 110,000)
Fixed element=$198,000-$165,000
Fixed element = $33,000
Now let compute total manufacturing overhead
Total manufacturing overhead=$33,000 + ($1.50 x 110,000)
Total manufacturing overhead=$33,000+$165,000
Total manufacturing overhead= $198,000
Therefore Using the high-low method, compute total manufacturing overhead estimated for August is $198,000

What is the present value of an investment that will pay $2,000 at the end of the year when interest is compounded annually at 5.10%
Answer:
the present value of an investment is $1,902.94
Explanation:
The computation of the present value of an investment is given below:
present value
= Future value ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^time period
=$2,000 ÷ (1+.051)^1
= $2,000 ÷ 1.051
= $1902.94
Hence, the present value of an investment is $1,902.94
A(n)______ variance occurs when management pays an amount different from the standard price to acquire the item.
Answer:
The answer is "Spending".
Explanation:
A(n) variance in spending happens whenever management spends a quantity other than the standard cost of the products to be acquired.
The difference in expenditure is the gap between the real level as well as the expected amount (or budget) of spending. Overhead costs often include fixed costs, e.g. operating expenses.
Is there currently a surplus or shortage of human organs available for transplant? Using the demand/supply framework, explain how legalizing the trade for human organs will help move the market towards an equilibrium.
Answer 1:
Yes. There is currently a shortage of human organs available for transplant
Explanation:
This is because in the U.S. the current legislation bans the sale of human organs. Hence the official or legal price of a human organ is $0.
Going by the principles of supply and demand, supply (all other factors held constant) follows in the direction price.
Answer 2:
Legalizing the trade for human organs will have the following impact:
it would reduce the shortage of human organs. Higher prices usually create increased levels of supply. On the other hand, it may also reduce quantity demanded. As soon as the sale of human organs become legal, those waiting to receive organs will have to pay or offer a higher price for an organ. The point of equilibrium is where the demand and supply curves intersect. Changes in the demand curve is highly unlikely however, the supply curve might move to the left because presently the bulk of kidney donors are those who do it from good conscience expecting nothing in return. Those category of people may become de-incentivised more and more from making their donations.Cheers

Consider using income approach to compute US GDP. Suppose there is a Mexican citizen working at a US firrm located in US, and earned wages of $500. There is also a US citizen that earns wages of $800 in a Mexican firm located in Mexico. If US GNP is $3000, what is US GDP?
Answer:
According to the information in the text, the US GDP would be $500, because GDP only accounts for all the goods and services produced within the country, or under the income approach, for all the forms of income (rent, dividends, wages) earned by nationals or foreigners in domestic soil.
In this case, the Mexican citizen working in the US and earning $500 adds the same amount to US GDP of that year regardless of his nationality.
The first of two significant fiscal policy initiatives enacted by the government during the Great Recession, signed in February 2008 by President George W. Bush, was the:__________

b. Economic Stimulus Act of 2008.
c. Economic Tax Rebate Act of 2008.
d. Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2008.
e. American Stimulus Act of 2008.
Answer:
b. Economic Stimulus Act of 2008
Explanation:
The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 was enacted during the term of George.W Bush. It was done to help encourage business investments during the recession by granting tax rebates to every taxpayers and consequently increasing disposable income. The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 granted tax rebates of the lesser of net income tax liability or $600 to every taxpayer and $1200 to tax paying couples who filed their taxes jointly.
If two firms are identical in all respects except that one has more of the fixed input capital than another, the marginal product curve for the firm with more capital: Group of answer choices will lie above the marginal product curve for the firm with less capital. must equal the marginal product curve for the firm with less capital. will lie below the total marginal curve for the firm with less capital. will show no diminishing marginal returns.
Answer: will lie above the marginal product curve for the firm with less capital.
Explanation:
Capital is needed to produce goods and services and ideally speaking, when more capital is invested, more goods and services will be able to be produced because more should bring in more.
It is the same case here, if the companies are similar in everything except capital invested, the company with more capital will be able to produce more goods and services which will lead to their marginal product curve lying above the marginal product curve of the company with less capital.

First step is to calculate the Unrecorded Patents Amortization
Unrecorded Patents Amortization
=$1,400,000-[($6,400,000 - $3,000,000)×30%] /10 years
Unrecorded Patents Amortization
=$1,400,000- ($3,400,000 × 30%)/10 years
Unrecorded Patents Amortization
=$1,400,000 - $1,020,000/10 years
Unrecorded Patents Amortization = $380,000 / 10 years
Unrecorded Patents Amortization= $38,000
Now let determine the Investment
Investment=$1,400,000 + $180,000 + $225,000 - $60,000 - $60,000 - $38,000 - $38,000
Investment= $1,609,000
Therefore the Investment in Mopsy Co. balance as of December 31, 2020, if the equity method has been applied is $1,609,000
Stock Valuation Suppose you know that a company's stock currently sells for $64 per share and the required return on the stock is 13 percent. You also know that the total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield. If it's the company's policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, what is the current dividend per share?
Answer:
$3.85
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the current dividend per share
First step is to calculate the Dividend yield using this formula
Dividend yield=Dividend for next period/Current price
Let plug in the formula
Dividend yield=(13%/2)
Dividend yield=6.5%
Second step is to calculate the Dividend for next period
Dividend for next period=($63*6.5%)
Dividend for next period=$4.095
Now let determine the Current dividend using this formula
Current dividend=Dividend for next period*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
Let plug in the formula
Current dividend=$4.095/1+.065
Current dividend=$4.095/1.065
Current dividend=$3.85(Approx).
Therefore the current dividend per share is $3.85
If the government intervenes and corrects the externality in the situation described, we would expect Group of answer choices the demand for the output from the hydroelectric power plants to decrease. the demand for the output from the hydroelectric power plants to increase the supply of the output from the hydroelectric power plants to decrease the supply of the output from the hydroelectric power plants to increase.
Answer: the supply of the output from the hydroelectric power plants to increase.
Explanation:
The hydroelectric power operators are incurring the cost of cleaning the river before they can use it. This cost is money that they could be investing in the business in order to produce more power.
If the government corrects the externality and limits the amount of waste being thrown into the river, the hydroelectric company would be able to invest the expenses it was incurring in clean up into generating more power which would lead to a higher supply of output from the power station.
MC Qu. 157 West Company estimates that overhead costs... West Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,600,000 for indirect labor and $880,000 for factory utilities. The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base. Of 125,000 machine hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate
Answer:
$35,84 per machine hour
Explanation:
Plantwide overhead rate = Budgeted overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity
where,
Budgeted overheads = $3,600,000 + $880,000 = $4,480,000
Budgeted Activity = 125,000 machine hours
therefore,
Plantwide overhead rate = $4,480,000 ÷ 125,000
= $35,84 per machine hour

The standard amount of materials required to make one unit of Product Q is 4 pounds. Tusa's static budget showed a planned production of 6,200 units. During the period, the company actually produced 6,300 units of product. The actual amount of materials used averaged 3.9 pounds per unit. The standard price of material is $2 per pound. Based on this information, the materials usage variance was:\
Answer: $1,260 Favorable
Explanation:
Material usage variance = (Standard quantity of materials actually produced - Actual quantity of materials actually produced) * Standard price of material
= [ ( 4 * 6,300 ) - (3.9 * 6,300) ] * 2
= [ 25,200 - 24,570 ] * 2
= 630 * 2
= $1,260 Favorable
If a company is operating in a developing or less-developed country, which type of challenge can arise that would affect the shipping and movement of physical goods in a country
Answer: b. an infrastructure challenge
Explanation:
Developing countries are not as infrautructurally advanced as developed countries. They do not always have good roads, airports in many areas or adequate railway networks.
When goods are being shipped therefore, these pose a problem to the company doing the shipping as they would have to surmount these challenges in order to get their products from point A to be. For instance, as a result of bad roads, more money would have to be spent maintaining trucks that get damaged.

A large manufacturing firm has been selling on a 3/10, net 30 basis. The firm changes its credit terms to 2/20, net 90. What change might be expected on the balance sheets of its customers?
A. Decreased receivables and increased bank loans
B. Increased receivables and increased bank loans
C. Increased payables and decreased bank loans
D. Increased payables and increased bank loan
Answer: Increased payables and decreased bank loans
Explanation:
It should be noted that 3/10, net 30 simply means when customer pays in 10 days, such person will get a 3% discount, if not the person will have to pay in full within the 30 days.
On the other hand, 2/20, net 90 means that when customer pays in 20 days, such person will get a 2% discount, if not the person will have to pay in full within the 90 days.
Therefore, the change that this will lead to on the balance sheets of its customers will be an increased payables as there'll be more time to make payment for the goods and decreased bank loans.
A company developed the following per unit standards for its products: 2.30 pounds of direct materials at $5.7 per pound. Last month, 2500 lbs of direct materials were purchased for $5900. The direct materials price variance for last month was
Answer: $5,010 Favorable
Explanation:
Direct materials price variance is calculated by the formula:
= (Standard Price - Actual Price) * Quantity Purchased
Actual price = Amount pounds were purchased for / Pounds purchased
= 5,900 / 2,500
= $2.36
Direct materials price variance = (5.7 - 2.36) * 2,500
= $5,010 Favorable
Hammond Lumber has just changed from prefabricating 8 gazebos to 10 gazebos (units). Their total costs changed from $9,500 to $11,000. What is the marginal cost for Hammond Lumber?
Answer:
MC = 750
Explanation:
Below is the given values:
Initial quantity = 8
Final quantity = 10
Initial total cost = $9500
Final total cost = $11000
Marginal cost = Change in total cost / Change in quantity
Change in total cost = 11000 - 9500 = 1500
Change in quantity = 10 - 8 = 2
Marginal cost = Change in total cost / Change in quantity
MC = 1500 / 2
MC = 750

The Hi-Stakes Company has a number of importing and exporting transactions. Importing activities result in payables and exporting activities result in receivables. (LCU represents the local currency unit of the foreign entity.)
Required:
If the direct exchange rate increases, does the dollar weaken or strengthen relative to the other currency? If the indirect exchange rate increases, does the dollar weaken or strengthen relative to the other currency?
Answer:
The Hi-Stakes Company
a. If the direct exchange rate increases, the dollar strengthens relative to the other currency.
b. If the indirect exchange rate increases, the dollar also strengthens relative to the other currency.
Explanation:
When the exchange rate increases, it means that more of the other currency is required in order to embark on importing and exporting transactions. However, the increases will weaken the ability of the importing currency to afford the dollar-based goods, which have then being made more expensive.
Blart Corp. recently paid a dividend of $5.00 per share. Analysts forecast future dividends will increase by 2% forever. The required rate of return that investors demand to hold Blart Corp.'s stock is 8% What is its estimated price per share today
Answer: $85.0
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the estimated price per share today will be:
Po = Do (1 + g) / (r - g)
Where,
Po = Current price
Do = Current dividend = 5.00
g = Dividend growth = 2% = 0.02
r = Required rate of return = 8% = 0.08
Therefore, the estimated price per share today will be:
= 5.00(1 + 0.02) / (0.08 - 0.02)
= 5.00(1.02) / 0.06
= 5.10 / 0.06
= 85.00
Therefore, the answer is $85

15) A factory manager can improve EVA by A) increasing earnings and increasing capital employed. B) increasing capital employed and reducing earnings. C) reducing earnings and reducing capital employed. D) increasing earnings and reducing capital employed.
Answer: D) increasing earnings and reducing capital employed.
Explanation:
Economic Value Added (EVA) shows how much residual income that a company has after it subtracts the cost of the capital invested from the operating profit that the company got.
If a manager wants to increase EVA therefore, they need to reduce the capital used so that the cost of capital will be less. This should be done while earnings are increased for an even higher increase in EVA.
