A firm is considering three capacity alternatives: A, B, and C. Alternative A would have an annual fixed cost of $105000 and variable costs of $24 per unit. Alternative B would have annual fixed costs of $126000 and variable costs of $25 per unit. Alternative C would have fixed costs of $82000 and variable costs of $37 per unit. Revenue is expected to be $52 per unit.

a. Which alternative has the lowest break-even quantity?
b. Which alternative will produce the highest profits for an annual output of 10,000 units?
c. Which alternative would require the lowest volume of output to generate an annual profit of $50,000?

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

                                      Alternative A          Alternative B            Alternative C

Annual fixed cost          105000                  126000                        82000

Variable fixed cost         24                             25                                  37

a). We have to find out the Break even quantity :

   Break Even quantity for A    [tex]$=\frac{\text{annual fixed cost}}{(\text{price - variable cost per unit})}$[/tex]

                                                [tex]$=\frac{105000}{52-24}$[/tex]

                                                = 3750 units

   Break Even quantity for B    [tex]$=\frac{\text{annual fixed cost}}{(\text{price - variable cost per unit})}$[/tex]

                                                [tex]$=\frac{126000}{52-25}$[/tex]

                                                = 4666 units

   Break Even quantity for C    [tex]$=\frac{\text{annual fixed cost}}{(\text{price - variable cost per unit})}$[/tex]

                                                [tex]$=\frac{82000}{52-37}$[/tex]

                                                = 5466 units

Therefore, Alternate A has the lowest Break Even quantity.

b). Now,

[tex]$\text{Profit} = (\text{price - variable cost per unit}) \times \text{units to sell - total fixed cost}$[/tex]

[tex]$\text{Profit of A} = (52 - 24) \times 10000 - 105000$[/tex]

                = 280,000 - 105,000

                = 175,000

[tex]$\text{Profit of B} = (52 - 25) \times 10000 - 126000$[/tex]

                = 270,000 - 126,000

                = 144,000

[tex]$\text{Profit of C} = (52 - 37) \times 10000 - 82000$[/tex]

                = 150,000 - 105,000

                = 45,000  

Thus, alternate A has the highest amount of profit.

c).

[tex]$\text{Units of target profit = break even quantity} + \frac{\text{target profit} }{(\text{price - variable cost per unit })}$[/tex]

Units of the target profit for A  [tex]$=3750 + \frac{50000}{52-24}$[/tex]

                                                 = 5535 units

Units of the target profit for B  [tex]$=4666 + \frac{50000}{52-25}$[/tex]

                                                 = 6517 units

Units of the target profit for C  [tex]$=5466 + \frac{50000}{52-37}$[/tex]

                                                 = 8799 units

Thus Alternative A will require the lowest volume of the output.

Mr. Frohardt donated $40,000 toward future scholarships. The scholarships are to be paid according to the following schedule:
• end of year 1: $1,000,
• end of year 2: $1,500,
• end of year 3: $2,000,
• and so on...
with the amount increasing $500 each year until the scholarship reaches $5,000. The annual scholarship will remain at $5,000 until the fund is depleted. If the account balance is less than $5,000 at the end of any year (i.e., after the awarding of the $5,000 for that year), that remaining amount immediately will be awarded as a smaller scholarship, and the account will be closed. The scholarship fund earns interest at an effective annual rate of 8%. Determine how many full $5,000 scholarships will be awarded.

The statement is not true.

Explanation:

External hiring does not reduce organizational diversity, it actually does the opposite: it increases organizational diversity.

External allows managers to include in their working teams new mebers who bring different knowledge and experience to the organization. In fact, one of the main motivations for managers to engage in external hiring is precisely increasing the variety of viewpoints inside the firm.

Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing.

Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.

A prisoner's dilemma is  when there is a motivation for a player to make a decision that would create a less optimal outcome for other players

Barbara's Bakery purchased three new 7-year assets last year. She chose NOT to use Section 179 immediate expensing or take bonus depreciation. The furnishings were purchased for $15,000 in April, the equipment for $6,000 in July, and the appliances for $40,000 in November. Using the appropriate MACRS depreciation tables in the Appendix, what amount of depreciation expense is allowable in the current (second) year of ownership?
a) $16,806
b) $14,939
c) $16,163
d) $16,072

Answers

Answer:

$ 4,748

Explanation:

The depreciation expenses = [tex]$(\$ 15000 \times 17.85 \%) + (\$ 6000 \times 10.71 \%)+(\$ 40000 \times 3.57 \%)$[/tex]

[tex]$= \$ 2677.50 + \$ 642.6 + \$ 1428$[/tex]

= $ 4748

Generally we have use half year convention for assets that are purchased during the year but here we used the mid quarter as of more than the 40% of the assets are being purchased in last quarter of the year

[tex]$=\frac{\text{assets purchased in last quarter}}{\text{total assets purchased in the year}} \times 100$[/tex]

[tex]$=\frac{40000}{61000} \times 100$[/tex]

[tex]$=65.57 \%$[/tex] (it is more than 40%)

Thus we can use the mid quarter mars depreciation rates for the 7 years assets that are purchased this year.

Overhead cost = $57,000 + $158,500 + $28,800 + $22,100

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 25 years. To do this, you will invest $820 per month in a stock account and $420 per month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 10.2 percent, and the bond account will pay 6.2 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with a 7.2 percent return. How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 20-year withdrawal period? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

The withdraw amount is "11,227.42".

Explanation:

The given values are:

In stock account,

PMT = $820

Interest rate = [tex]\frac{10.2 \ percent}{12}[/tex]

N = 300

PV = 0

In Bond account,

PMT = $420

Interest rate = [tex]\frac{6.2 \ percent}{12}[/tex]

N = 300

PV = 0

Now,

By using the FV (Future value) function, the value in Stock account will be:

= [tex]FV(rate,nper,pmt,[pv],[type])[/tex]

= [tex]1,125,795.30[/tex]

By using the FV (Future value) function, the value in Stock account will be:

= [tex]FV(rate,nper,pmt,[pv],[type])[/tex]

= [tex]300,181.3321[/tex]

After 25 years,

A company is currently selling 10,000 units of product monthly for $40 per unit. The unit contribution margin is $27. The company believes that spending $50,000 per month on advertising will allow them to increase the selling price to $45 and that sales will increase by 750 units per month. The company should ______.

Answers

Answer:

The company should accept the idea reason been that the profit will increase by $24,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What should the company do

First step

Increased CM = [10,750 x (27+(40-45))]- (10,000 x 27)

Increased CM = [10,750 x(27+5)]- (10,000 x 27)

Increased CM = (10,750 x 32) - (10,000 x 27)

Increased CM = $344,000-$270,000

Increased CM = $74,000

Now let calculate the profit

Profit =$74,000-$50,000

Profit=$24,000 Increase

Therefore based on the above calculation The company should accept the idea reason been that the profit will increase by the amount of $24,000

White Company has two departments, Cutting and Finishing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each department. The Cutting Department bases its rate on machine-hours, and the Finishing Department bases its rate on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:

Department
Cutting Finishing
Direct labor-hours 6,100 72,000
Machine-hours 59,000 3,200
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $390,000 $443,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $3.00 -
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour - $4.75

a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate to be used in each department.
b. Assume that the overhead rates you computed in (1) above are in effect. The job cost sheet for Job 203, which was started and completed during the year, showed the following:

Department
Cutting Finishing
Direct labor-hours 4 19
Machine-hours 80 4
Materials requisitioned $770 $360
Direct labor cost $36 $180

(Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

9.69%

Explanation:

Calculate for the internal growth rate

First step is to calculate the ROA

ROA = $4,819/$38,200

ROA=.1262*100

ROA= 12.62%

Second step is to calculate the plowback ratio b

The plowback ratio, b= 1 – .30

b= .70

Now let calculate the Internal growth rate using this formula

Internal growth rate=(ROA × b)/[1 – (ROA × b)]

Let plug in the formula

Internal growth rate=[.1262(.70)]/[1 – .1262(.70)]

Internal growth rate=.0969*100

Internal growth rate= 9.69%

Therefore the internal growth rate will be 9.69%

A grocery store that uses local distributors is am example of what stage of globalization

Answers

Answer: Domestic stage

Explanation:

In the domestic stage of production, the entity is only involved in the domestic arena. The production facilities they have are limited to the country they are in and they only operate in the domestic market and at this point, the company is not trying to get into foreign markets.

The grocery store above uses only local distributors which means that they are only servicing the local market which therefore puts them at the domestic stage of globalization.

Cain Components manufactures and distributes various plumbing products used in homes and other buildings. Over time, the production staff has noticed that products they considered easy to make were difficult to sell at margins considered reasonable while products that seemed to take a lot of staff time were selling well despite recent price increases. A summer intern has suggested that the cost system might be providing misleading information. The controller decided that a good summer project for the intern would be to develop,in one self-contained area of the plant, an alternative cost system with which to compare the current system. The intern identified the following cost pools and, after discussion with some plant personnel, appropriate cost drivers for each pool. There were:

Cost Pools Costs Activity Drivers
Receiving $600,000 Direct material cost
Manufacturing 5,500,000 Machine-hours
Machine setup 900,000 Production runs
Shipping $1,000,000 Units shipped

In this particular area, Cain produces two of its many products: Standard and Deluxe.The following are data for production for the latest full year of operations:

Standard Deluxe
Total direct material costs $245,000 $155,000
Total direct labor costs $650,000 $250,000
Total machine-hours 150,000 100,000
Total number of setups 75 125
Total pounds of material 18,000 9,000
Total direct labor-hours 6,000 3,750
Number of units produced and shipped 20,000 5,000

The intern decides to look more closely at the manufacturing activity and determines that it can be broken down into two activities: production and engineering. Production covers the costs of ongoing manufacturing while engineering includes those activities dealing with engineering changes, design modifications, and so on.

The costs attributed to production are $3,300,000 and the costs attributed to engineering are $2,200,000. After discussion with plant engineers, the intern decides that the best cost driver for engineering is setups, because most of the work arises from changes in the way the product is run.

I wanna know about debit and credit full explanation ​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A debit is an entry made in an account. It either increases an asset or expense account or decreases equity, liability, or revenue accounts.

A credit is an entry  alsom made in an account. It either increases equity, liability, or revenue accounts or decreases an asset or expense account.

Answer:

CREDIT vs. DEBIT

Explanation:

Debit :- A debit is an accounting entry that results in either an increase in assets or a decrease in liabilities on a company's balance sheet ... For instance , if a firm takes out a loan to purchase equipment , it would debit fixed assets and at the same time credit a liabilities account , depending on the nature of the loan .

Credit :- Generally defined as a contractual agreement in which a borrower receives something of value now and agrees to repay the lender at a later date—generally with interest .

Main Difference :- When you use a debit card, the funds for the amount of your purchase are taken from your checking account in almost real time . When you use a credit card , the amount will be charged to your line of credit , meaning you will pay the bill at a later date , which also gives you more time to pay .

A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an above ground electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $18,000 to install and will have a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, and other maintenance issues are expected to be $2,400. A new power line will cost $27,500 to install, with power costs expected to be $1,000 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 5 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. At an interest rate of 10% per year,

c. The amount of total liabilities of Amazon.com is $2.96 billion.

d. The amount of the change in stockholders' equity of Nike is $0.74 billion

Explanation:

We will the accounting equation to answer the question

Accounting Equation

Total Assets = Total Equity + Total Liabilities

a.

ExxonMobil

Where

Total assets = $196 billion

Total liabilities = $91 billion

Placing values in the equation

$196 billiom = Total Equity + $91 billion

Total Equity = $196 - $91 billion

Total Equity = $105 billion

b.

Citigroup

where

Total liabilities = $1,340 billion

Stockholders' equity = $94 billion

Placing values in the equation

Total Assets = $94 billion + $1,340 billion

Total Assets = $1,434 billion

c.

Amazon.com

Where

Total assets = $3.1 billion

Total stockholders' equity = $0.14 billion

placing values in the equation

$3.1 billion = $.14 billion + Total Liabilities

Total Liabilities = $3.1 billion - $.14 billion

Total Liabilities = $2.96 billion

d.

Nike

Change in Assets = Change in equity + Change in liabilities

Where

Increase in assets = $1.04 billion

Increase in liabilities = $0.3 billion

Placing values in the equation

$1.04 billion = Change in equity + $0.3 billion

Change in equity = $1.04 billion - $0.3 billion

Change in equity = $0.74 billion

Lauren Fine Clothing manufactures clothes for professional women. Lauren applies overhead at the rate of $15 per direct labor hour. During April, the company has budgeted 9,420 direct labor hours. At the end of April, 9,200 direct labor hours and $132,670 in manufacturing overhead had been incurred. To adjust for the difference between applied and incurred overhead, which journal entry would the firm record (using the pro-rated approach) given the following ending balances:

Answers

Answer: Debit MOH and credit cost if goods sold by 5330.

Explanation:

From the question, we are given the following information:

Overhead rate = $15 per direct labor hour

Direct labor hour incurred = 9,200

Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $132,670

We will then calculate the value for the applied manufacturing overhead which will be the direct labor hour incurred multiplied by the predetermined overhead rate. This will be:

= 9,200 x 15

= $138,000

Then, we have to calculate the overapplied manufacturing overhead which will be:

= $138,000 - $132,670

= $5,330

The journal entry will then be:

Debit: Manufacturing overhead (MOH) $5330

Credit: Cost of goods sold $5330

at the beginning of the month there were no units in beginning work in process and 115,000 units were begun during the month. At the end of the month there were 40,000 units that were 30% complete as to conversion costs in ending work in process. If all materials are included when the production begins, the equivalent units for conversion costs is:

Answers

Answer:

The equivalent units for conversion costs is 87,000 units

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the completed during the month

Completed units = Units begun during the month - Units in Work in process

Completed units = 115,000 - 40,000

Completed units = 75,000 units

Now calculate the equivalent unit in respect of conversion cost as follow

Equivalent units ( Conversion cost ) = Units completed in the month + ( Units in work in process x percentage of completion )

Equivalent units ( Conversion cost ) = 75,000 units + ( 40,000 x 30% )

Equivalent units ( Conversion cost ) = 75,000 units + 12,000 unints

Equivalent units ( Conversion cost ) = 87,000 units

Answers

Answer:

a. $81,610

b. $135,290

c. $117,200

d. $216,900

e. $252,490

f.  $96,890

Explanation:

direct labor cost = $83,600 - $1,990 = $81,610

manufacturing overhead cost = $28,700 + $1,990 + 31,400 + $31,600 + $13,600 + 28,000 = $135,290

prime cost = $35,600 + $81,610 = $117,200

conversion cost = $81,610 + $135,290 = $216,900

total manufacturing cost = $135,290 + $117,200 = $252,490

period expenses = $19,900 + $8,050 + $61,300 + $7,640 = $96,890
