The following information relates to the only product sold by Harper Company. Sales price per unit $ 45 Variable cost per unit 27 Fixed costs per year 247,000 a. Compute the contribution margin ratio and the dollar sales volume required to break even. b. Assuming that the company sells 20,000 units during the current year, compute the margin of safety (in dollars).
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
a.
For Contribution Margin ratio
We know that
Contribution margin per unit = Sale price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $45 - $27
= $18
Now
Contribution margin ratio = Contibution Margin per unit ÷ Sale price per unit
= $18 ÷ $45
= 0.4
Now
Break even sales dollar
Break even sales = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= $247,000 ÷ 0.4
= $617,500
b.
For Margin of Safety
The Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break Even Sales
where,
Actual sales(in $) = 20000 × 45
= $900,000
So, Margin of safety is
= $900,000 - $617,500
= $282,500

Given Advanced Company's data, and the knowledge that the product is sold for $71 per unit and operating expenses are $300,000. Compute the net income under absorption costing.
Answer:
$183,000
Explanation:
Advanced Company
Income Statement for the year - absorption costing
Sales ($71 x 21,000 units) $1,491,000
Less Cost of Sales ($1,008,000)
Gross Profit $483,000
Less Expenses
Operating expenses ($300,000)
Net Income $183,000
where,
Cost of Sales = Units Sold x Product Cost
= 21,000 x $48
= $1,008,000
Product Cost = all manufacturing costs (absorption costing)
= $19 + $21 + $3 + ($175,000 ÷ 35,000)
= $48

For the products launched by companies to succeed, it is important that Multiple Choice marketing is aggressive and separate from other functional areas. marketing endeavors are directed solely at manipulating consumers. all the functional areas of the business are coordinated with marketing decisions. the marketing environment changes constantly. one environmental force is not interconnected with another environmental force.
Answer:
all the functional areas of the business are coordinated with marketing decisions.
Explanation:
A product can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.
According to the economist Philip Kotler in his book titled "Marketing management" he stated that, there are five (5) levels of a product. This includes;
1. Core benefit.
2. Generic product.
3. Expected product.
4. Augmented product.
5. Potential product.
The core benefit of a product can be defined as the basic (fundamental) wants or needs that is being satisfied, met and taken care of when a customer purchase a product.
Hence, for the products launched by companies to succeed, it is important that all the functional areas of the business are coordinated with marketing decisions.
Marketing mix can be defined as the choices about product attributes, pricing, distribution, and communication strategy that a company blends and offer its targeted markets (customers) so as to build and maintain a desired response.

Paradise Corporation budgets on an annual basis for its fiscal year. The following beginning and ending inventory levels (in units) are planned for next year. Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory Raw material* 30,000 40,000 Finished goods 70,000 60,000 * Three pounds of raw material are needed to produce each unit of finished product. If Paradise Corporation plans to sell 510,000 units during next year, the number of units it would have to manufacture during the year would be:
Answer:
500,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information,
Beginning inventory = 70,000 units
Ending inventory = 60,000 units
Sales = 510,000 units
We will make use of the formula below to calculate the production required.
Production = Sales + Desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory
Production = 510,000 + 60,000 - 70,000
Production = 500,000 units
TaskMaster Enterprises employs a standard cost system in which direct materials inventory is carried at standard cost. TaskMaster has established the following standards for the prime costs of one unit of product. Standard Standard Standard Quantity Price Cost Direct Materials 9 pounds $ 1.80 per pound $ 16.20 Direct Labor 0.25 hour $ 7.20 per hour 1.80 $ 18.00 During November, TaskMaster purchased 198,000 pounds of direct materials at a total cost of $376,200. The total factory wages for November were $46,000, 90% of which were for direct labor. TaskMaster manufactured 21,000 units of product during November using 170,000 pounds of direct materials and 6,000 direct labor hours. What is the direct labor efficiency variance for November
Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $5,400 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard= Direct Labor 0.25 hour $ 7.20 per hour
Actual= 6,000 hours
Number of units= 21,000
To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (21,000*0.25 - 6,000)*7.2
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (5,250 - 6,000)*7.2
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $5,400 unfavorable
1 points eBookPrintReferencesCheck my workCheck My Work button is now enabledItem 6 Beverly Company has determined a standard variable overhead rate of $3.80 per direct labor hour and expects to incur 0.50 labor hour per unit produced. Last month, Beverly incurred 1,600 actual direct labor hours in the production of 3,300 units. The company has also determined that its actual variable overhead rate is $2.40 per direct labor hour. Calculate the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances as well as the total amount of over- or underapplied variable overhead.
Answer:
$8,700
Explanation:
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = Actual Hours *(Actual Rate - Standard Rate) =
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = 1,600 * ($2.40 - $3.80)
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = 1,600 * $1.40 F
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = $2240 F
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = Standard Rate*(Actual Hours - Standard Hours) =
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $3.80*(1,600 - 0.50*3,300)
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $3.80* 50 F
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $190 F
Over- or Underapplied Variable Overhead = Actual Overhead Incurred - Overhead Applied
Over- or Underapplied Variable Overhead = 1600*$2.40 - 3,300*$3.80
Over- or Underapplied Variable Overhead = $3840 - $12540
Overapplied Variable Overhead = $8,700
5. A neighborhood sportswear store sells a pair of Nike sneakers for $40. Due to the recent fitness craze, these shoes are in high demand: 50 pairs of shoes are sold per week. The ordering cost is $20/order, and the annual holding cost is 20 percent of selling price. If the store operates 52 weeks a year, what can you say about the current lot size of 235
Answer: Too large
Explanation:
Thw following information can be gotten from the question:
d = 50 pairs per week
S = ordering cost = $20 per order
H = holding cost = 20% × $40 = $8
n = 52 weeks
D = Annual demand = 50 × 52 = 2600
We'll then calculate the economic order quantity which will be:
= ✓2DS/H
= ✓2×2600×20/8
= ✓13000
= 114 units
Therefore, the current lot size of 235 is too large

Malibu Corporation has monthly fixed costs of $59,000. It sells two products for which it has provided the following information. Sales Price Contribution Margin Product 1 $ 15 $ 9 Product 2 20 4 a. What total monthly sales revenue is required to break even if the relative sales mix is 30 percent for Product 1 and 70 percent for Product 2
Answer:
$184,375
Explanation:
The computation of the monthly sales revenue that needed to be break even is given below:
Here we assume the sales be x
0.18x + 0.14x = $59,000
0.32x = $59,000
x = $59,000 ÷ 0.32
= $184,375
The 0.18x come from
= ($9) ÷ ($15) × 0.30x
= 0.18x
And, the 0.14x come from
= ($2) ÷ ($20) × 0.70x
= 0.14x
New Line Cinema is considering producing a new movie. To evaluate the proposal, the company needs to calculate its cost of capital. The firm has collected the following information:
a. The company wants to maintain is current capital structure, which is 20% equity, 20% preferred stock and 60% debt.
b. The firm has marginal tax rate of 34%.
c. The firm's preferred stock pays an annual dividend of $4.3 forever, and each share is currently worth $135.26.
d. The firm has one bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6%, paid semiannually, 10 years to maturity, a face value of $1,000, and a current price of $1,163.51.
e. The company's beta is 0.8, the yield on Treasury bonds is is 0.6% and the expected return on the market portfolio is 6%.
f. The current stock price is $39.17. The firm has just paid an annual dividend of $1.13, which is expected to grow by 4% per year.
g. The firm uses a risk premium of 3% for the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach.
h. New preferred stock and bonds would be issued by private placement, largely eliminating flotation costs. New equity would come from retained earnings, thus eliminating flotation costs.
Required:
a. What is the cost of equity using the bond yield plus risk premium?
b. What is the midpoint of the range for the cost of equity?
c. What is the company's weighted average cost of capital?
Answer:
a.
7.00%
b.
5.96%
c.
1.20%
Explanation:
a.
First and foremost, we need to determine the yield to maturity on the bond, using a financial calculator as shown thus:
The financial calculator should be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:
N=20(number of semiannual coupons in 10 years=10*2=20)
PMT=30(semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*/2=$1000*6%/2=$30)
PV=-1163.51(current price=$1,163.51)
FV=1000(face value of the bond=$1000)
CPT
I/Y=2.00%(semiannual yield=2%, annnual yield=2.00%*2=4.00%)
bond yield plus risk premium=bond yield(4.00%)+ risk premium(3%)
bond yield plus risk premium=7.00%
b.
In determining the midpoint range is the maximum plus minimum cost of equity divided by 2
Let us determine cost of equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model and Constant Dividend Growth Model
cost of equity=risk-free rate+beta*(expected return on the market portfolio-risk-free rate)
risk-free rate=yield on Treasury bonds= 0.6%
beta=0.8
expected return on the market portfolio= 6%
cost of equity=0.6%+0.8*(6%-0.6%)
cost of equity=4.92%
cost of equity=expected dividend/share price+growth rate
expected dividend=last dividend*(1+growth rate)
expected dividend=$1.13*(1+4%)=$1.1752
share price= $39.17
growth rate=4%
cost of equity=($1.1752/$39.17)+4%
cost of equity=7.00%
midpoint range=(maximum cost of equity+minimum cost of equity)/2
midpoint rate=(7.00%+4.92%)/2
midpoint range=5.96%
c.
WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of preferred stock*cost of preferred stock)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)
weight of equity= 20%
cost of equity=5.96%
weight of preferred stock=20%
cost of preferred stock=annual dividend/price
cost of preferred stock=$4.3/$135.26=3.18%
weight of debt=60%
aftertax cost of debt=4.00%*(1-34%)=2.64%
WACC=(20%*5.96%)+(20%*3.18%)*(60%*2.64%)
WACC=1.20%

Current assets 3,603,600 343,200 3,260,400
Total assets (operating) 5,720,000 343,200 5,376,800
Cost of goods sold (FIFO) 2,230,800 2,574,000
Merchandise inventory, January 1 1,430,000 1,430,000
Merchandise inventory, December 31 1,887,600 1,544,400
Current liabilities 1,144,000 1,144,000
Average inventory 1,658,800 1,487,200
FIFO:
Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities
= $3,603,600/$1,144,000 = 3.15
Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory
= $2,230,800/$1,658,800
= 1.34
Rate of return on operating assets = Net income/Total assets * 100
= $686,400/$5,720,000 * 100
= 12%
LIFO:
Current ratio = $3,260,400/$1,144,000
= 2.85
Inventory turnover ratio = $2,574,000/$1,487,200
= 1.73
Rate of return on operating assets = $686,400/$5,376,800 * 100
= 12.8%

explain errors are not detected by a trial balance
Answer:
Errors not detected by a trial balance are:
1. Posting to Wrong Account
2. Error of Amounts in Original Book
3. Compensating Errors
4. Errors of Principle
5. Errors of Omission
Explanation:
The Trial Balance does not provide absolute assurance of ledger account accuracy. It is just an evidence of the postings' arithmetical accuracy. Even though the amount of debits equals the amount of credits, there may be inaccuracies.
A trial balance will not reveal such errors, and they are:
1. Posting to Wrong Account: IF accidentally posted something to the wrong account, but it was on the right side, the Trial Balance agreement will not be affected. For example, if a $200 purchase from John was credited to Joshua instead of John. As a result, Trial Balance will miss such an error.
2. Error of Amounts in Original Book: The Trial Balance will come out appropriately if an invoice for $632 is filed in Sales Book as $623, because the debit and credit have been recorded as $623. The arithmetical precision is there, yet there is a flaw.
3. Compensating Errors: This occurs one mistake is offset by a similar mistake on the other side. These errors are cancelled if one account in the ledger is debited $500 less and another account in the ledger is credited $500 less.
4. Errors of Principle: An errors of Principle is one that breaches the foundations of bookkeeping. Purchases of furniture, for example, are debited to the Purchase Account rather than the Furniture Account; wages paid for the erection of plant are debited to the Wages Account rather than the Plant Account; and the amount spent on a building extension is debited to the Repairs Account rather than the Building Account, and so on. These kind of errors do not alter the total debits and credits, but they do impair the bookkeeping principle.
5. Errors of Omission: There will be no effect on the Trial Balance if a transaction is completely omitted. An error of omission occurs when a transaction is fully unreported in both aspects, or when a transaction is documented in the books of primary entry but never entered in the ledger. For example, if a credit purchase is not recorded in the Purchase Day Book, it will not be posted to both the Purchase Account and the Supplier's Account. This error, on the other hand, will not cause Trial Balance to disagree.
A company buys a machine for $69,000 that has an expected life of 7 years and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. The company anticipates a yearly net income of $3,300 after taxes of 38%, with the cash flows to be received evenly throughout each year. What is the accounting rate of return
Answer:
9.57%
Explanation:
Accounting rate of return = Annual after tax net income/Average investment
Accounting rate of return = $3,300 / ($69,000/2)
Accounting rate of return = $3,300 / $34,500
Accounting rate of return = 0.095652174
Accounting rate of return = 9.57%
After comparing the manufacturing costs in the United States and in offshore locations, Alpha Manufacturing has decided to move its operations offshore to increase its profits by reducing manufacturing costs. In the given scenario, Alpha Manufacturing has most likely conducted a ______, a form of utilitarianism commonly applied by firms and government.
Answer:
Cost-benefit analysis.
Explanation:
Cost-benefit analysis is used to examine and compare the cost associated with a project or task and the benefits derived from it.
In the given scenario, Alpha Manufacturing has most likely conducted a cost-benefit analysis, a form of utilitarianism commonly applied by firms and government. Also, it is essentially used by various organizations or business firms in the decision-making process, as all the cost incurred are determined.
Additionally, it may be used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating income and net income.
Fixed costs can be defined as predetermined expenses in a business that remain constant for a specific period of time regardless of the quantity of production or level of outputs. Some examples of fixed costs in business are loan payments, employee salary, depreciation, rent, insurance, lease, utilities etc.

Pension expense $7.5 million
Therefore the amount that Harvey Hotels should report as pension expense in its income statement for the year is $7.5 million
When Argentina fixed the exchange rate of their peso to the U.S. dollar, one outcome was: Group of answer choices Argentinean central bankers effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC. Argentinean central bankers regained control of their domestic interest rate. Argentinean central bankers were finally able to focus their attention on domestic monetary policy. Argentineans began using the U.S. dollar for all of their transactions.
Answer: Argentinean central bankers effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC.
Explanation:
The Federal Open Market Committee(FOMC) is a committee of the Federal Reserve which influences the interest rate in the country by engaging in Open Market Operations (OMO). In doing so, they also influence the value of the dollar which is the currency of the U.S.
By pegging the Argentine Peso to the U.S. dollar, the Argentines effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC because the FOMC in deciding the interest rate for the U.S. and therefore the dollar, will be deciding for any other currency that moves exactly as the dollar does which is what the Peso is now going to do.
The outcome was that Argentinean central bankers effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC.
The Federal Open Market Committee is a committee of the Federal Reserve which influences the interest rate in the country by engaging in Open Market Operations (OMO).
Now, by pegging the Argentine Peso to the U.S. dollar, the Argentines will effectively gave control of their interest rate to the Federal Open Market Committee for interest rate decision, therefore, will be deciding for any other currency that moves exactly as the dollar does.Hence, the Option A is correct because the outcome was that Argentinean central bankers effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC.

Your firm is preparing to open a new retail strip mall and you have multiple businesses that would like lease space in it. Each business will pay a fixed amount of rent each month plus a percentage of the gross sales generated each month. The cash flows from each of the businesses has approximately the same amount of risk. The business names, square footage requirements, and monthly expected cash flows for each of the businesses that would like to lease space in your strip mall are provided below:
Square Feet Expected Monthly
Business Name Required Cash Flow

If your new strip mall will have 15,000 square feet of retail space available to be leased, to which businesses should you lease and why?
Answer:
I would like to lease spaces to the following businesses:
Square Feet Expected Monthly
S-Mart 12,000 $180,000
WalVerde Drugs 6,000 147,000
Videos Now 4,000 70,000
They have the highest monthly expected cash flows to be able to pay the monthly rent. Another reason is that the variable part of the rent depends on each business's monthly gross sales. The higher the gross sales, the higher the rent. They also require the highest square space on which the fixed element of the rent depends.
