Florissa's Flowers jointly produces three varieties of flowers in the same garden: tulips, lilies, and daisies. The flowers are all watered via the same irrigation system and all receive the same amount of water; daisies require three times as much as lilies, and the water required for tulips is about halfway between the amounts needed for daisies and lilies. Although the lilies and tulips receive more water than they need due to the joint irrigation process, they are not hurt by the overwatering. The joint production cost of the three varieties of flowers is about $30 per harvest. Every harvest yields 10 tulips, 20 lilies, and 20 daisies
Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the physical units method.
Joint Product Flowers per Harvest Proportion Joint Costs Allocation
Tulip % $ $
Lily %

The following December 31, 2021, fiscal year-end account balance information is available for the Stonebridge Corporation:
Cash and cash equivalents $5,800
Accounts receivable (net) 28,000
Inventory 68,000
Property, plant, and equipment (net) 160,000
Accounts payable 47,000
Salaries payable 19,000
Paid-in capital 140,000
The only asset not listed is short-term investments. The only liabilities not listed are $38,000 notes payable due in two years and related accrued interest of $1,000 due in four months. The current ratio at year-end is 1.6:1.
Required:
Determine the following at December 31, 2021:
1. Total current assets.
2. Short-term investments.
3. Retained earnings.
Answer and Explanation:
The calculations are given below:
1. Total current assets
we know that
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ current liabilities
where,
Current liabilities is
= Accounts payable + Accrued interest + Salaries payable
= $47,000 + $1,000 + $19,000
= $67,000
And,
Current ratio = 1.6:1
So,
Total current assets is
= 1.6 × $67,000
= $107,200
b. Short term investment is
Short term investment = Total current assets - Cash and cash equivalents - Accounts receivables - Inventories
= $107,200 - ($5,800 + $28,000 + $68,000)
= $5,400
c. Now retained earning is
Total assets
= Total current assets + Property, plant and equipment
= $107,200 + $160,000
= $267,200
Total liabilities is
= Current liabilities + Notes payable
= $67,000 + $38,000
= $105,000
Now Retained earnings is
= Total assets - Total liabilities - Paid in capital
= $267,200 - $105,000 - $140,000
= $22,200

DriveTrain, Inc. instituted a new process in October 2020. During October, 13,800 units were started in Department A. Of the units started, 8,950 were transferred to Department B, and 4,850 remained in Work-in-Process at October 31, 2020. The Work-in-Process at October 31, 2020, was 100% complete as to material costs and 50% complete as to conversion costs. Material costs of $37,260 and conversion costs of $45,500 were charged to Department A in October. What were the total costs transferred to Department B assuming Department A uses weighted-average process costing
Answer:
$59,965
Explanation:
Equivalent Units
Materials = 8,950 x 100 % + 4,850 x 100 % = 13,800 units
Conversion Costs = 8,950 x 100 % + 4,850 x 50 % = 11,375 units
Total Costs
Materials = $37,260
Conversion Costs = $45,500
Cost per Equivalent unit
Materials = $37,260 / 13,800 units = $2.70
Conversion Costs = $45,500/ 11,375 units = $4.00
Total Unit Cost = $2.70 + $4.00 = $6.70
Total costs transferred to Department B
Total costs = 8,950 x $6.70 = $59,965
Therefore, the total costs transferred to Department B is $59,965
he Coase theorem will apply only if the amount of compensation that must be made to the damaged party is small. an individual who is not affected by the externality can negotiate a settlement between the parties imposing the externality and the parties that are harmed by the externality. the courts can be used to determine the amount of compensation that must be made to the damaged party. the number of people involved is small.
Answer:
the number of people involved is small.
Explanation:
Coase theorem was developed in 1960 by a British economist and author named Ronald Coase.
Coase theorem states that when the actions of a party (X) negatively affects or harm another party (Y), then party Y should be able to create an incentive for party X to stop or limit the action creating such harm.
Generally, when transaction cost are low, the two parties are able to bargain and reach a mutual agreement in the presence of an externality such as a pollution.
The Coase theorem will apply only if the number of people involved is small, the cost of negotiation is low and there are well defined property rights.
Howard Co.'s 2016 income from continuing operations before income taxes was $280,000. Howard Co. reported before-tax income on discontinued operations of $50,000. All tax items are subject to a 40% tax rate. In its income statement for 2016, Howard Co. would show which of the following line-item amounts for net income and income tax expense:
a. $213,600 and $117,600 respectively.
b. $356,000 and $318,800 respectively.
c. $117,600 and $213,600 respectively.
d. $232,000 and $269,200 respectively.
Answer:
$198,000 and $112,000 respectively
Explanation:
Income tax expense = Income from continuing operations before income taxes * Tax rate
Income tax expense = $280,000 * 40%
Income tax expense = $112,000
Net income = Income from continuing operations before income taxes - Income tax expense + (Before-tax income on discontinued operations * (1 - 40%)
Net income = ($280,000 - $112,000) + ($50,000 * 0.6)
Net income = $168,000 + $30,000
Net income = $198,000

Consider the simple 3-station assembly line illustrated below, where the 2 machines at Station 1 are parallel, i.e., the product only needs to go through one of the 2 machines before proceeding to Station 2. Station 1 Machine A has a capacity of 3 units per hour; Station 1 Machine B has a capacity of 3 units per hour; Station 2 has a capacity of 5 units per hour; Station 3 has a capacity of 10 units per hour What is the bottleneck time of this process
Answer:
The bottleneck time for this process is 20 minutes.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Station Capacity per hour Time required per unit
1 A 3 20 minutes (60/3)
1 B 3 20 minutes (60/3)
2 5 12 minutes (60/5)
3 10 6 minutes (60/10)
Total demand for the process = 38 minutes (20+12+6)
b) The bottleneck is the station that requires the longest time for its outputs to be processed. The bottleneck in this process is given by Station One, requiring 20 minutes to meet output requirements through either machine A or machine B. The bottleneck constitutes a constraint on the process capacity to achieve results.
Sarafiny Corporation is in the process of preparing its annual budget. The following beginning and ending inventory levels are planned for the year. Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory Finished goods (units) 30,000 80,000 Raw material (grams) 60,000 50,000 Each unit of finished goods requires 3 grams of raw material. The company plans to sell 770,000 units during the year. How much of the raw material should the company purchase during the year
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Raw materials purchased is computed as;
Raw material purchase = Ending inventory + required for production - beginning inventory
= 50,000 + ((80,000 + 770,000 - 30,000) × 3) - 60,000
= 50,000 + 2,460,000 - 60,000

Work in process inventory was $13,300 at January 1 and $17,200 at December 31. Finished goods inventory was $68,800 at January 1 and $47,900 at December 31.
Required:
a. Compute cost of goods manufactured.
b. Compute cost of goods sold.
Answer:
a. $352,200
b. $372,100
Explanation:
The cost of goods manufactured
Consider only the manufacturing costs
Cost of goods manufactured = $122,200 + $69,200 + $17,600 + $113,100 + $34,000 + $13,300 - $17,200
=$352,200
Cost of goods sold
Add Cost of goods manufactured to the net of Finished inventory balance
Cost of goods sold = $47,900 $68,800 + $352,200 - $47,900
= $372,100
Consider a mutual fund with $219 million in assets at the start of the year and with 12 million shares outstanding. The fund invests in a portfolio of stocks that provides dividend income at the end of the year of $6 million. The stocks included in the fund's portfolio increase in price by 7%, but no securities are sold, and there are no capital gains distributions. The fund charges 12b-1 fees of 0.50%, which are deducted from portfolio assets at year-end. a. What is the net asset value at the start and end of the year
Answer:
Missing word "What is the Rate of return"
a. Asset at the end of the year = (Asset at the start of the year + Increase in value) * 12b-1 charges
Asset at the end of the year = ($219 million+ ($219 million * 7%)) * (1-0.50%)
Asset at the end of the year = ($219 million + $15.33 million) * 0.9950
Asset at the end of the year = $234.33 million * 0.9950
Asset at the end of the year = $233.16 million
Net asset value at the end of the year = Asset at the end of the year / Number of shares
Net asset value at the end of the year = $233.15835 million / 12 million
Net asset value at the end of the year = $19.430
b. Rate of return = (Net asset value at the end of the year + dividend per share - Net asset value at the start of the year) / Net asset value at the start of the year
Rate of return = ($19.430 + ($6 / 12) - $18.250) / $18.250
Rate of return = ($19.430 + $0.50 - $18.250) / $18.250
Rate of return = $1.68 / $18.250
Rate of return = 9.20%

Explanation:
When the government imposes an excise tax in a market with a downward-sloping demand curve and an upward-sloping supply curve: _________.
a. consumer surplus falls, producer surplus falls, and a deadweight loss occurs.
b. consumer surplus falls.
c. producer surplus falls.
d. a deadweight loss occurs.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Tax is a compulsory sum levied on the price of goods and services. It increases the price of goods and services
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept
If tax increases the price of the good, consumer surplus would reduce
For example, willingness to pay is $20, price before tax is $5 and price after tax is $10. consumer surplus becomes $10 when it was $15 initially
Tax reduces the amount that would be received by the seller. This reduces consumer surplus.
Deadweight loss is the decrease in quantity demanded as a result of tax. Because tax increases price, the quantity demanded would reduce
You invest $1,000 in a risky asset with an expected rate of return of 0.17 and a standard deviation of 0.40 and a T-bill with a rate of return of 0.04. What percentages of your money must be invested in the risk-free asset and the risky asset, respectively, to form a portfolio with a standard deviation of 0.20
Answer:
50%, 50%
Explanation:
% of money invested in risky asset = Portfolio standard deviation/Standard deviation of risky asset
% of money invested in risky asset = 0.20/0.40
% of money invested in risky asset = 50.00%
% of money invested in risk free asset = 1 - 50.00%
% of money invested in risk free asset = 50.00%

Bryant leased equipment that had a retail cash selling price of $750,000 and a useful life of six years with no residual value. The lessor spent $605,000 to manufacture the equipment and used an implicit rate of 8% when calculating annual lease payments of $150,219 beginning January 1, the beginning of the lease. Lease payments will be made January 1 each year of the lease. Incremental costs of consummating the lease transaction incurred by the lessor were $22,500. What is the effect of the lease on the lessor’s earnings during the first year, not including any effect of depreciation no longer required on the asset under lease (ignore taxes)? (Input decreases to income as negative amounts. Round Interest revenue to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer: $170,482.48
Explanation:
Effect of lease:
= Sales - Cost of goods sold (cost to manufacture) + Interest revenue - Selling expense
Interest revenue = (Selling price - Interest paid) * Interest rate
= (750,000 - 150,219) * 8%
= $47,982.48
Effect of lease = 750,000 - 605,000 + 47,982.48 - 22,500
= $170,482.48

Kimberly's capital gain = land's FMV - other land's FMV = $22,675 - $19,850 = $2,825
b. What is Kimberly’s remaining basis in KST after the distribution?
Kimberly's basis = basis + gain - land basis = $18,300 + $2,825 - $15,575 = $5,550
c. What is KST's basis in the land Kimberly contributed after Kimberly receives the distribution?
KST's basis on the land = land's basis + Kimberly's gain = $12,750 + $2,825 = $15,575
A bank currently has $150 million in "hot money" deposits against which it wants to hold an 80 percent reserve and $90 million in vulnerable deposits against which it wants to hold a 30 percent reserve. It also has $45 million in stable deposits against which it wants to hold a 5 percent reserve. Legal reserves for the bank are 5 percent of all deposits. What is the bank's liability liquidity reserve?
Answer:
The right response is "141.7875".
Explanation:
According to the question,
The total reserves held will be:
= [tex]0.8\times 150+0.3\times 90+0.05\times 45[/tex]
= [tex]120+27+2.25[/tex]
= [tex]149.25[/tex]
Deductions will be:
= [tex]5 \ percent \ of \ 149.25[/tex]
= [tex]0.05\times 149.25[/tex]
= [tex]7.4625[/tex]
now,
The bank's liability liquidity reserve will be:
= [tex]Total \ reserves \ held-Deductions[/tex]
= [tex]149.25-7.4625[/tex]
= [tex]141.7875[/tex]

Ana and Shen need to decide which one of them will need to take time off work to complete the rather urgent task of shearing their llamas. Ana is pretty good with a pair of shears; she can shear the llamas in one hour. Shen is somewhat slow; it takes him six hours to shear the llamas. Ana earns $120 per hour as a business consultant, while Shen earns $15 per hour as a lifeguard.
Keeping in mind that either Ana or Shen must take time off work to shear the llamas, who has the lowest opportunity cost of completing the task?
A. Ana
B. Shen
C. Ana and Shen face identical opportunity costs
Answer:
B
Explanation:
We have to consider the opportunity cost of both parties
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
If Ana chooses to shear, she would be forgoing an income $120
If Shen chooses to shear for 6 hours, she would be forgoing an income ($15 x 6) = 90
Shen has a lower opportunity cost and should shear
