Answer:
B. $31,300
Explanation:
Sales $90,000
Less: Variable Cost $44,700
Less: Additional Fixed Cost $14,000
Increase in Operating Income $31,300
Workings:
Sales= 3,000 unit * $30
Sales= 90,000
Variable cost = 3,000 unit * (5.4 + 6 + 2.5 +1)
Variable cost = 3,000 * 14.9
Variable cost = $44,700
The Sapote Corporation is a manufacturing corporation. The corporation has accumulated earnings of $450,000 and the corporation cannot establish a reasonable business need for any of that amount. What is the amount of the accumulated earnings tax (if any) that will be imposed on the corporation?
Answer: $40,000
Explanation:
As this is a manufacturing company, they are exempt of Accumulated earnings tax of the amount of $250,000. Anything above that will be subject to an Accumulated Earnings tax rate of 20%.
Accumulated Earnings tax = 20% * (450,000 - 250,000)
Accumulated Earnings tax = 20% * 200,000
Accumulated Earnings tax = $40,000

Fallow Corporation has two separate profit centers. The following information is available for the most recent year: West Division East Division Sales (net) $ 410,000 $ 560,000 Salary expense 47,000 61,000 Cost of goods sold 143,000 259,000 The West Division occupies 10,250 square feet in the plant. The East Division occupies 6,150 square feet. Rent, which was $ 82,000 for the year, is an indirect expense and is allocated based on square footage. Compute operating income for the West Division.
Answer:
$168,750
Explanation:
The data below are extracted from the above question.
West division
Sales (S) = $410,000
Salary expense (E) = $47,000
Cost of goods sold (C) = $143,000
Proportional rent (R) = $82,000 % of square footage
Area of the division = 10,250 square feet.
Total area of both division = 10,250 + 6,150
= 16,400 square feet
Therefore, the operating income (I) for the West Division is given by the amount of sales minus salary expenses , cost of goods sold and rent.
I = S - E - C - R
= $410,000 - $47,000 - $143,000 - (82,000 × 10,250 / 16,400)
= $220,000 - $51,250
= $168,750
The yearly operating income for Fallow's Corporation West Division is $168,750.
Suppose that the value of an investment in the stock market has increased at an average compound rate of about 5% since 1912. It is now 2016. a. If someone invested $1,000 in 1912, how much would that investment be worth today?
Answer:
FV= $159,840.60
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $1,000
Number of years= 2016 - 1912= 104
Interest rate= 5%
To calculate the value of the investment today, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 1,000*(1.05^104)
FV= $159,840.60
Two investment advisors are comparing performance. Advisor A averaged a 20% return with a portfolio beta of 1.5 and Advisor B averaged a 15% return with a portfolio beta of 1.2. If the T-bill rate was 5% and the market return during the period was 13%, which advisor was the better stock picker?
Answer:
Advisor A
Explanation:
t bill rate = 0.05
market rate = 0.13
the beta of the market is always 1
the rate of return= 0.05 + (0.13 - 0.05) x 1
= 0.13
which is 13%
this is for advisor A.
with a return of 20% and 1.5 beta
0.05 + ( 0.20 - 0.05) x 1.5
= 27.5% for advisor b
when the return is 15% and beta is 1.2
0.05 + (0.15 - 0.05) x 1.2
= 17%
Therefore advisor a is better
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.
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.
The labor cost to produce a certain item is $8.50 per hour. Job setup costs $50 and material costs are $20 per unit. The item can be purchased for $88.50 per unit. The learning rate is 90 percent. Overhead is charged at a rate of 50 percent of labor, materials, and setup costs.
Required:
a. Determine the average unit cost for 20 units, given that the first unit took 5 hours to complete.
b. What is the minimum production quantity necessary to make production cost less than purchase cost?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Setup cost =$50
Material cost = $20
= $20×$20
= $400
Purchased cost = $88.50
Learning rate (P) = 90%
Labor cost is $8.50, and it requires 5 hours to produce the first unit. Total time required for the production of 20 units is
= 5×14.608
= $73.04
The value 14.608 is the total time factor which has been taken from table 7S.1 and the time required for the production of 20 units at the rate of 90% is 14.608. Hence, the labor cost for the production of 20 units will be calculated using the following method.
Cost of labor for production of 20 units
= 8.50×73.04
= $620.84
Hence,
In the problem, it has been given that the overhead cost is 50% of the labor material, and setup cost. Hence,
= 50/100 (620.84+50+400)
= 0.5×(1070.84)
= $535.42
Hence total cost
$535.42 +$1070.84
=$ 1606.26
Hence, the cost of production of 20 units is calculated by the following method.
= $1606.26÷20
=$80.313
Therefore, the unit cost is $80.313/unit.
Ans B:
The minimum production quantity important to make the production cost less than the purchase cost is calculated by the trial-and-error method. Now, let's take average unit cost when the 10 units are produced.
Setup cost =$50
Material cost = $20
= $20×$10
= $200
Labor cost is $8.50, and it requires 5 hours to produce the first unit. Total time required for the production of 10 units is
=5×7.994
= $39.97
The value 7.994 is the total time factor which has been taken from table 7S.1 and the time required for the production of 10 units at the rate of 90% is 7.994. Therefore, the labor cost for the production of 10 units will be calculated by the following method.
The cost of production of 20units
8.50×7.994×5
= $339.745
Rally Quadcopters plans to sell a standard quadcopter (toy drone) for $45 and a deluxe quadcopter for $65. Rally purchases the standard quadcopter for $35 and the deluxe quadcopter for $45. Management expects to sell two deluxe quadcopters for every three standard quadcopters. The company's monthly fixed expenses are $14,700. How many of each type of quadcopter must Rally sell monthly to breakeven?
To earn $10,500?
First identify the formula to compute the sales in units at various levels of operating income using the contribution margin approach.
Answer:
Rally must sell 1,080 units of Standard and 720 units of Deluxe
Explanation:
Standard Deluxe Total
Sales price per unit $45 $65
Less: Variable cost ($35) ($45)
Contribution Margin per unit $10 $20
Sales Mix units (A) $3 $2 $5
Contribution margin $30 $40 $70
Weighted average Contribution $14
per unit C= B/A
Appointment of fixed cost between standard and deluxe
Total Fixed cost = 14,700
Break even point = Fixed cost / Weighted average Contribution per unit
= 14,700 / 14
= 1,050
Apportionment of Break even point sales between Standard and deluxe in sales mix ratio (3:2)
Standard = 1,050 * 3/5 = 630
Deluxe = 1,050 * 2/3 = 420
Unit to be sold to get desired profit = Fixed cost + Desired profit / Weighted average Contribution per unit
= (14,700 + 10,500) / 14
= 1,800
Apportionment of Units to be sold to get desired profit between Standard and Deluxe in sales mix ratio (3:2)
Standard = 1,800 * 3/5 = 1,080
Deluxe = 1,800 * 2/5 = 720
To reach target operating income, Rally must sell 1,080 units of Standard and 720 units of Deluxe

You have invested 20 percent of your portfolio in Homer, Inc., 40 percent in Marge Co., and 20 percent in Bart Resources. What is the expected return of your portfolio if Homer, Marge, and Bart have expected returns of 2 percent, 18 percent, and 3 percent, respectively?
Answer:
Expected return = 8.2%
Explanation:
A portfolio is a collection of assets/ investment. The return on a portfolio is the weighted average of all the return of the individual assets weighted according to the percentage of total funds allocated to each assets.
Expected return on portfolio:
E(R) =( Wa*Ra) + (Wb*Rb) + (Wc*Rc) + Wn*Rn
W= Weight i.e proportion of fund invested in each asset class
Wa = 20%, Wb- 40%, Wc- 20%
Ra-2%, Rb-18%, Rc- 3%
E(R) = (0.2 *2%) + (0.4× 18%) + (0.2*3%) = 8.2%
Expected return = 8.2%

21. A noncancelable lease contains an option to purchase a leased asset at a price that is sufficiently lower than the asset's expected fair value so that the exercise of the option appears reasonably certain. The fair value of the asset exceeds the lessor's cost of the asset. Therefore, the lease will be accounted for by the lessor as a(n):
Answer: A. Sales-type lease
Explanation:
A Sales type lease is one where the present value of all the lease payments of the Asset being leased is more than the cost/ carrying amount of the Asset.
The present value of the lease Payments is the Fair Value of the asset and as seen from the question, the fair value of the asset is more than the cost of the Asset. The lease will therefore be accounted for as a Sales type lease by the lessor.
It is worthy of note that this entry affects only the lessor.

Three months ago, you purchased a stock for $54.14. The stock is currently priced at $57.36. What is the EAR on your investment?
Answer:
The EAR on the investment is 23.79%
Explanation:
Here, we are concerned with calculating the EAR on the stock investment.
Firstly, we start with calculating the return on shares
Mathematically, that is; P1 - P0
From the question P1 = $57.36 while P0 = $54.14
So Return on shares = $57.36-$54.14 = $3.22
We proceed with calculating the Return on shares in percentage
Mathematically;
Return on shares in % = Return on shares/P0 * 100
= 3.22/54.14 * 100 = 5.95%
Lastly we calculate the effective annual interest;
The effective annual interest = 5.95%/3 * 12 = 23.79%
The EAR on the investment is 23.79%
Calculation of EAR:Since Three months ago, you purchased a stock for $54.14. The stock is currently priced at $57.36.
So, the difference of the price is
= $57.36-$54.14
= $3.22
Now return on shares should be
= 3.22/54.14 * 100
= 5.95%
Now EAR is
= 5.95%/3 * 12
= 23.79%

You purchased 1,000 shares of stock in Natural Chicken Wings, Inc., at a price of $43.37 per share. Since you purchased the stock, you have received dividends of $.95 per share. Today, you sold your stock at a price of $46.62 per share. What was your total percentage return on this investment?
Answer:
9.68%
Explanation:
Percent Return on Investment is calculated as Net Profit / Cost of Investment x 100
Net Profit= $46,620 (1,000 x $46.62 per share) + $950 (1,000 x $.95 per share) - $43,370 (1,000 x $43.37 per share) = $4,200
Cost of Investment= $43,370 (1,000 x $43.37 per share)
Percent Return on Investment= $4,200 / $43,370 x 100 = 9.68%

Cost of machine = $28,000
Depreciation for year 1 (October to December)
DEBIT CREDIT
Depreciation Expenses $1,300
Accumulated Depreciation $1,300
Working
Annual Depreciation expense = (Cost - salvage value) / useful life
Annual Depreciation expense = (28000 - 2000) / 5 = $5,200
Depreciation for 3 months
Depreciation = $5,200 x 3/12
Depreciation = $1300
Sale of the machine

Workng
Gain/Loss on sale = Sale proceed - carrying value
Gain/Loss on sale = 14,000 - 21,500
Loss on sale = $7,500
Carrying value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
Carrying value = 28,000 - 6500 = 21500
Accumulated depreciation = $1,300 + $5,200 = $6,500
Praveen Co. manufactures and markets a number of rope products. Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year’s plans call for a $350 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $315,000, up to a maximum capacity of 550,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $245 per 100 yards of XT rope.
Required:
1. Estimate Product XT's break-even point in terms of (a) sales units and (b) sales dollars.

What is the materials price variance for Year 1?a. $400 favorableb. $400 unfavorablec. $220 favorabled. $220 unfavorable
Answer:
Direct material price variance= $400 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual quantity purchased 200 units
Actual price paid $8 per unit
Standard price $10 per unit
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (10 - 8)*200
Direct material price variance= $400 favorable

No, dropping the DVDs product line will decrease operating income by $31,000, resulting in a total loss of $40,000. Even though the DVDs product line by itself is not profitable, it absorbs a large percentage of the fixed costs and if you get rid of it, all the fixed costs will be absorbed by the Blue-rays product line.
Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 5.50 pounds $ 2.50 per pound $ 13.75
Direct labor 0.50 hours $ 6.50 per hour $ 3.25
During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded:
1. Ten thousand six hundred pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.40 per pound.
2. The company produced only 1,060 units, using 9,540 pounds of material. (The rest of the material purchased remained in raw materials inventory.)
3. 630 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $7,560.
Required:
Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials 5.50 pounds $ 2.50 per pound.
Actual:
1. 10,600 were purchased for $2.40 per pound.
2. The company produced only 1,060 units, using 9,540 pounds of material.
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2.5 - 2.4)*10,600
Direct material price variance= $1,060 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
standard quantity= 1,060*5.5= 5,830
Direct material quantity variance= (5,830 - 9,540)*2.5
Direct material quantity variance= $9,275 unfavorable
Link Co. purchased machinery that cost $3,000,000 on January 4, 2016. The entire cost was recorded as an expense. The machinery has a nine-year life and a $200,000 residual value. The error was discovered on December 20, 2018. Ignore income tax considerations. Before the correction was made, and before the books were closed on December 31, 2018, retained earnings was understated by:_________.a. $3,000,000.
b. $2,066,667.
c. $2,377,778
d. $2,333,333.
Answer:
c. $2,377,778
Explanation:
Recording the entire cost as expense would have understated Retained Earnings by $3,000,000
Annual Depreciation on machine = Purchase cost - Residual value / Useful life
= ($3,000,000 - $200,000) / 9
= $311,111
Depreciation would have been recorded for $622222 for 2 years had machinery been correctly recorded ($311,111 * 2) = $622,222
On December 20, 2018, the net understatement of Retained Earnings = $3,000,000 - $622,222
= $2,377,778

Conor Airlines Inc. recently issued $50 par value preferred stock that pays a 8.25% dividend rate per year. Yahoo.finance shows that the stock has a beta of 0.97. The current risk-free rate is 2.50% and the market return is 11%. Assuming that CAPM holds, what is the intrinsic value of this preferred stock?
Answer: $38.39
Explanation:
First calculate the required return according to CAPM;
Required return = Risk free rate + beta ( market return - risk free rate)
= 2.50% + 0.97 ( 11% - 2.50%)
= 10.745%
Then using the Dividend discount model and remembering that there is no growth rate;
Value = Next dividend / ( required return - growth rate)
= (50 * 8.25%) / ( 10.745% - 0)
= 4.125/10.745%
= $38.39
Answer:
$38.29
Explanation:
Ke = Rf+Beta*(Rm-Rf)
Ke=0.0250+0.97*(0.11+0.0250)
Ke=0.10745
Ke=10.75 appr.
Po= Dividend / (Ke-g)
Po= 50*0.0825 / (0.10745 - 0)
Po=4.125/0.10745
Po=38.3899
Po=38.29
Thus, the intrinsiv value of this preferred stock is $38.29
The smartest thing a firm involved in an oligopoly market could do is to cut their prices and capture more of the market share from their competitors.
a) We learned in class that the best move would be to raise prices.
b) We also learned that cutting prices on an elastic demand curve will be a smart way of getting more revenues.
c) Cutting prices is no gaurantee of success. Indeed if the firm does capture more market share and customers, then their costs will go up and it will be harder for them because they will have lower profit margins - if they can earn any profit at all.
d) Both A and C are correct.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
c) Cutting prices is no gaurantee of success. Indeed if the firm does capture more market share and customers, then their costs will go up and it will be harder for them because they will have lower profit margins - if they can earn any profit at all.
Explanation:
An oligopoly market is a market form wherein a market or industry is dominated by a small group of large sellers. A pure monopoly maximizes profits by producing that quantity where marginal revenue = marginal cost. however, it is much more difficult for an oligopoly to determine at what output it can maximize its profit.
If the price that determined where marginal revenue equaled marginal cost were below the bottom of the average variable cost curve, then the profit-maximizing, monopolistically competitive firm would
Answer: c. shut down because it would cost more to produce and sell output than it would to shut down and lose all fixed costs.
Explanation:
The profit maximizing, monopolistically competitive firm maximises profit at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal costs.
If this point is below Average variable costs then that means that the company is not making enough to cover its variable costs. Should this be the case then the company should shutdown operations because variable costs are only there when the company is producing. If they shutdown then they will no longer incur them which would be the cheaper option.
They would take losses on the fixed costs but these have already been incurred so it would be better to lose the fixed costs than continue to make losses on variable costs.
Pioneer Venture Capital firm recently offered a biotech company $50 million funding in exchange for 25% of the biotech company's ownership. What is the company's implied post-money valuation
Answer:
The company's implied post-money valuation is $200 million.
Explanation:
Post-money valuation is a technique that is employed to determine the value of a firm after making an investment in the company.
The calculation of the implied post-money valuation is done by dividing the investment amount offered by the percentage of ownership the investor is getting in exchange. This can be expressed as follows:
Implied post money valuation = Investment amount offered / Ownership percentage ............................ (1)
Since from the question, we have:
Investment amount offered = $50,000,000
Ownership percentage = 25%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Implied post money valuation = $50,000,000 / 25% = $200,000,000
Therefore, the company's implied post-money valuation is $200 million.
