Answer:
A
Explanation:
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.
Hourly wage costs and payments for production inputs are variable costs
Total fixed cost = 20,000 x 20 = 400,000
80,000 x 5 = 400,000
c is fixed cost
Variable costs are costs that vary with production
If a producer decides not to produce any output, there would be no need to hire labour and thus no need to pay hourly wages.
Variable cost is constant per unit produced. Thus A, is variable cost
Mixed cost is cost that combines fixed cost and variable cost
You work for a mature company with a long history in the industry and have been given stock options. Which of the following are you most likely wanting to see happen with top line (revenue) and bottom line (net profit) growth rates?
A. Top line and bottom line holding steady without much variation.
B. Top line growing faster than bottom line.
C. Bottom line growing faster than top line.
D. Both top and bottom line growing at the same rate.
Answer: D. Both top and bottom line growing at the same rate.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the most likely thing will be for the top and bottom line growing at the same rate. This implies that both the revenue and the net profit grow at same rate.
It's vital for them to grow at a steady rate in order to ensure stability. The top line growing faster than bottom line or the bottom line growing faster than top line isn't good for the stock options.
Suppose an economy has two industries producing corn (c) and tractor (t). The production functions for the two industries are.
Yc = min (Lc/2, Kc/1) and Yt = min (Lt/2.5, Kt/3),
where Li and Ki are the amount of labor and capital used in industry i (i = c, t). Constraints for labor and capital endowments are given as follows:
Lc + Lt ≤ 63 and Kc + Kt ≤ 42.
Derive the production transformation curve and show the output vector (Yc, Yt) that corresponds to full employment of both factors? (10 marks)
What range of output price ratio (Pc/Pt) is consistent with the full employment of both factors simultaneously? (10 marks)

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.

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

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%

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

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

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

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

Burns Industries currently manufactures and sells 11,000 power saws per month, although it has the capacity to produce 26,000 units per month. At the 11,000-unit-per-month level of production, the per-unit cost is $46, consisting of $30 in variable costs and $16 in fixed costs. Burns sells its saws to retail stores for $71 each. Allen Distributors has offered to purchase 4,100 saws per month at a reduced price. Burns can manufacture these additional units with no change in its present level of fixed manufacturing costs. Using an incremental analysis approach, Burns should consider accepting this special order only if the price per unit offered by Allen is at least: Multiple Choice $16. $46. $71. $30. qizket
Answer:
Selling price= $30
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary cost:
Variable= $30
Fixed= $16
Number of units= 4,100
Normally, when there is unused capacity and a new customer asks for a reduced price, the fixed cost should not be taken into account when calculating the selling price. The company benefits from increasing its sales, acquiring a new customer, and perhaps getting some discounts from suppliers in the variable components.
The lower price that the company accepts is the one that equals the unitary variable cost. In this case:
Selling price= $30

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%

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.
