Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Investment in producing panel displays = $1,500,000
The costs of producing and selling 5,000 units of flat panel displays are estimated as follows:
1 Variable costs per unit:
2 Direct materials $120.00
3 Direct labor 30.00
4 Factory overhead 50.00
5 Selling and administrative expenses 35.00
6 Total variable cost per unit $235.00
7 Fixed costs:
8 Factory overhead $250,000.00
9 Selling and administrative expenses 150,000.00
Product cost using cost-plus pricing:
1 Variable costs per unit:
2 Direct materials $120.00
3 Direct labor 30.00
4 Factory overhead 50.00
5 Selling administrative
expenses 35.00
Total variable
manufacturing cost $235.00 *5,000 $1,175,000.00
Contribution $625,000.00
Fixed Costs:
Factory overhead $250,000.00
9 Selling and administrative expenses 150,000.00
Expected returns on invested assets
= 15% of $1,500,000 = $225,000
Income Statement:
Sales Revenue (5,000 x $360) $1,800,000.00
Manufacturing cost $235.00 1,175,000.00
Contribution $625,000.00
Fixed Costs:
Factory overhead $250,000.00
Selling and administrative expenses 150,000.00
Expected returns on invested assets
= 15% of $1,500,000 = $225,000
Special order from Maple Leaf Visual Inc.:
Flat panel displays = 800 units
Price = $225 each
Cost of production per unit = $200 ($235 - $35)
Contribution per unit = $25 ($225 - $200)
Differential analysis is a managerial technique which Crystal Displays Inc. can use to decide to accept or reject the additional order from Maple Leaf Visual Inc. for 800 units of flat panel displays at $225 each. After the analysis, it appears that Crystal Displays Inc. will make a profit of $25 per unit or a total profit of $20,000 from the additional order. Since this additional order does not require extension of the existing production capacity and costs, it looks reasonable to suggest that the business from Maple Leaf should be accepted.

A package of 8 frankfurters costs $5.00 and a package of 12 hot dog buns costs $3.00. If Jeffrey makes a hot dog sandwich using only a frankfurter and a bun, what percent of the cost of his hot dog sandwich comes from the bun?
Answer:
Buns= 28.57%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A package of 8 frankfurters costs $5.00 and a package of 12 hot dog buns costs $3.00.
First, we need to calculate the unitary cost of the frankfurters and buns.
Frankfurters= 5/8= $0.625
Buns= 3/12= 0.25
Now, the percentage of buns per hotdog:
Total unitary cost= 0.625 + 0.25= 0.875
Buns= 0.25/0.875= 0.2857= 28.57%
Under the general requirements of Code Sections 162 and 212 regarding trade/business and income-producing activities, to be deductible an expense must be
Answer:
Related to carrying on the activity
Explanation:
The general requirement of the code sections 162 and 212 about the expense allowing as a deduction against income of the business is that the expenses are only allowable if it is related to the same business income. This means that the trading expense would be set off against trading income and rental expense would be set off against rental income. Furthermore, the expenses (losses) would be only deductible for the future years if the business has not abandoned its operations which means the expenses are related to carrying activities.

Exchange rate is the rate at which a country can exchange its currency with another country’s currency.
An increase in the exchange rate of dollar with Yen discourages the Japanese from buying american goods.
Since US dollar is appreciating in relative to Japanese Yen, US consumers will benefit since they are buying the goods at a now cheaper rate.
Verizox Company uses a job order cost system with manufacturing overhead applied to products based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the most recent year, the company estimated its manufacturing overhead cost at $181,090. Estimated direct labor cost was $481,580 for 19,900 hours.Actual costs for the most recent month are summarized here:Item Description Total CostDirect labor (1,800 hours) $46,361Indirect costs Indirect labor 2,540Indirect materials 3,420Factory rent 3,300Factory supervision 4,730Factory depreciation 5,760Factory janitorial work 1,270Factory insurance 1,890General and administrative salaries 4,240Selling expenses 5,350Required1.

Calculate the amount of applied manufacturing overhead.Applied Overhead Rate _____3. Calculate actual manufacturing overhead costs.Actual Manufacturing Overhead Costs _____4. Compute over- or underapplied overhead.Overhead _____
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $181,090
Estimated direct labor houra= 19,900
Actual costs:
Indirect labor= $2,540
Factory rent= $3,300
Factory supervision= $4,730
Factory depreciation= $5,760
Factory janitorial work= $1,270
Factory insurance= $1,890
Actual overhead= $19,490
Actual direct labor hours= 1,800
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 181,090/19,900= $9.1 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 9.1*1,800= $16,380
Actual manufacturing overhead costs= $19,490
Finally, we can determine the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 19,490 - 16,380
Under/over applied overhead= $3,110 underapplied
The people in an economy have $10 million in money. There is only one bank that all the people deposit their money in and it holds 5% of the deposits as reserves. What is the money multiplier in this economy?
Answer:
The answer is 20
Explanation:
The money multiplier show us how an initial deposit can lead to a higher final increase in the total money supply or it relates to the maximum amount of bank money that can be created, given a certain amount of money from central bank money.
Money multplier = 1 / reserve requirement
Reserve requirement is 5% of the deposits
Therefore, money multiplier is
1 / 0.05

Expenditures on a nation's domestic production Group of answer choices are less than its domestic production. are equal to its domestic production. are greater than its domestic production. could be less than, equal to, or greater than its domestic production.
Answer:
are equal to it's domestic production
Explanation:
A country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is defined as value of all goods and services produced in a country during a given time. Domestic production refers to those goods and services produced at home for local consumption.
Expenditure refers to the monies expended by all entities namely; household, firms and government on goods and services with a country.
When all the entities involved in generating a country's GDP spend their money towards purchasing goods and services produced in a country, then local producers would have more money to buy materials that will be used for further production. The higher the money spent, the higher the production and vice versa.
The above is a cycle that is repeated each time household, firms and government buys locally produced goods hence expenditure on a nation's domestic production equal to it's domestic production.
Carter divorced his wife in the current year. In accordance with the divorce decree, he paid her $15,000 as a property settlement in the division of their net assets. In addition, he paid her $10,000 in partial fulfillment of the annual requirement to pay her $12,000 a year in child support. What amount may Carter deduct on his tax return for the current year
Answer:
$0 (at least under current laws)
Explanation:
Child support payments are not tax deductible. Even alimony payments made to former spouses are not tax deductible anymore.
Any property settlements resulting from a divorce are not tax deductible either nor are they considered taxable income for the receiving party.
So in this case, until the current law changes, Carter cannot deduct any amount from his tax return.
In response to the economic crisis in 2008, President Merkel "highlighted in her speech what the German government has already done: a financial sector rescue package worth up to €500 billion, and a proposed stimulus package of tax breaks [on income] and spending measures aimed at triggering investments of up to €50 billion over the next two years." Which parts of the stimulus plan will increase labor supply?
Answer:
Chancellor Merkel's proposed stimulus consisted of two parts:
a financial rescue package worth €500 billion (which I personally believe only helped bankers but didn't increase labor supply)tax breaks and investment measures worth €50 billionThe only part of the stimulus package that would actually help to increase labor supply is the last part, which also is the smallest part, since it should have increased investments. When investment increases, the interest rates decrease and aggregate demand increases. As aggregator demand increases, the demand for labor also increases. An increase in the demand for labor results in higher wages, which in turn increases labor supply until an equilibrium is reached.
Governments generally rescue financial institutions arguing that they are really important to the economy, but what is really amazing and repeats itself all over the world is that the same governments favor free markets. When small businesses fail, governments do not care, and small businesses represent 99% of America's companies. Governments only start caring when rich people lose money, since free market rules only apply to them when they favor them. If free market rules do not favor the rich, they are bad and governments intervene.
Sabv Corporation's break-even-point in sales is $910,000, and its variable expenses are 80% of sales. If the company lost $41,000 last year, sales must have amounted to:
Answer:
Sales= $705,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Break-even-point in sales= $910,000
Variable expenses= 80% of sales.
Loss= $41,000
First, we need to calculate the fixed costs:
Fixed costs= 910,000*0.2= $182,000
Now, we need to determine the contribution margin:
Actual CM= 182,000 - 41,000= $141,000
Finally, the sales revenue:
Sales= 141,000/0.2= $705,000
How much would you be willing to pay today for an investment that pays $1,300 per year at the end of the next 10 years
Answer:
The investment is worth $8,732.11 today.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $1,300
Number of years= 10
To calculate the present value, we need a discount rate. If not, the value of money through time is irrelevant.
Imagine a discount rate of 8% compounded annually.
First, we will calculate the future value:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {1,300*[(1.08^10) - 1]} / 0.08
FV= $18,832.53
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 18,832.53/1.08^10
PV= $8,732.11
You are looking to buy a car and you have been offered a loan with an APR of 6.5 %, compounded monthly. a. What is the true monthly rate of interest? b. What is the EAR? g
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
a. What is the true monthly rate of interest?
The monthly rate of interest will be the annual percentage rate of charge given in the question divided by the number of months. This will be:
= APR/12
= 6.5%/12
= 0.065/12
= 0.0054
= 0.54%
b. What is the EAR?
The effective annual rate will be calculated using the formula:
EAR = (1 + (APR / m)^ m) - 1
EAR = (1 + (0.065/ 12)^12) - 1
EAR = [(1 + 0.0054)^12] - 1
EAR = (1.0054)^12 - 1
EAR = 1.06676 - 1
EAR = 0.06676
EAR = 6.68%
The combination of the degree of complexity and the degree of change existing in an organization's external environment is/are called:________
a. strategic fit.
b. strategic issues.
c. scenarios.
d. environmental uncertainty.
e. strategic factors.

During 2022, Sheridan Company entered into the following transactions.
1. Purchased equipment for $318,770 cash.
2. Issued common stock to investors for $139,050 cash.
3. Purchased inventory of $70,940 on account.
Using the following tabular analysis, show the effect of each transaction on the accounting equation. (If a transaction causes a decrease in Assets, Liabilities or Stockholders' Equity, place a negative sign (or parentheses) in front of the amount entered for the particular Asset, Liability or Equity item that was reduced. See Illustration 3-4 for example.)
Answer with its Explanation:
Transaction 1: The purchase of equipment is increase in the fixed assets and as the amount paid is in cash, the decrease in cash asset will also be with the same amount. This means the net effect on assets will be zero.
Accounting Equation is given as under:
Fixed Assets + Current Asset = Equity + Liability
Equipment 318,770 - Cash $318,770 = Zero Net Effect
Transaction 2: The increase in the equity will increase the current asset as well here, which means:
Fixed Assets + Current Asset = Equity + Liability
Current Assets + $139,050 = Issued common stock + $139,050
Transaction 3: The purchase of inventory on account means that the current asset would be increased and the payables will increase with the same amount. The effect on the accounting equation is given as under:
Fixed Assets + Current Asset = Equity + Liability
Current Asset + $70,94 = Current liabilities + $70,940

Prospective entrepreneurs turned down by private lenders have little hope of getting financial help from the Small Business Administration, since the SBA's standards are even tougher than those of private lenders.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
b) false
Explanation:
On its website, the SBA states its objective as "We support America's small businesses. The SBA connects entrepreneurs with lenders and funding to help them plan, start and grow their business."
The SBA does not actually lend to small businesses but connects them with lenders. Apart from this, they offer many other services that an entrepreneur requires to start off his or her business. They offer business planning, coaching, advice, and support at every stage of the business as it continues to grow and guarantee lending to small businesses. The SBA does not turn down any entrepreneur.
Henry Co. assigned $400,000 of accounts receivable to Easy Finance Co. as security for a loan of $335,000.

= $335,000 - $6,700
= $328,300
Thus, the amount of cash received by Henry from Easy at the time of the transfer was $328,300
Sunshine Blender Company sold 3000 units in October at a sales price of $45 per unit. The variable cost is $25 per unit. Calculate the total contribution margin.
Answer:
Total contribution margin= $60,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units sold= 3,000
Selling price per unit= $45
Unitary variable cost= $25
First, we will calculate the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= 45 - 25= $20

rawford Trucking plans to dispose of two trucks in 2022. They sell the first truck on January 2 and the second truck on July 9. If the end of their fiscal year is December 31, how will the calculation of book value differ for these two vehicles?
Answer: C : They will need to subtract a partial year of depreciation from the book value of the second truck but not the first truck.
Explanation:
When disposing of fixed assets such as vehicles, depreciation has to be charged on them to see their Net Book Value.
Companies usually depreciate their vehicles on a yearly basis in accordance with the end of their fiscal year. This company therefore most likely depreciates on December 31.
The first truck is sold 2 days after this Depreciation so there is no need to add more depreciation to it.
However the second truck on the other hand was sold 6 months later. Depreciation needs to charged on this substantial period but since it was not for the full year, a partial one needs to be charged.
"According to the law of demand, with everything else being equal, the quantity demanded for a good or service will _____________ as the price increases."
Answer: Decrease
Explanation:
According to the Law of Demand, The quantity demanded for purchase of a commodity inversely varies with the price.
That is to say that "ceteris paribus" ( with everything being equal),When the prices of a particular good go higher, people will buy less of such commodity but will buy more, if the prices of the goods reduces.
We can say demand is elastic if quantity demanded for a commodity decreases with increase in price which will make people choose another lower substitute good eg, detergent, ice cream
Also if quantity demanded does not change much with increase in price , then it is referred to as Inelastic Demand for example necessity commodity such as gasoline.
