Answer:
The manager should pick project B
Explanation:
To determine what decision the manager should make, the NPV of both projects should be calculated.
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
NPV for project A
Cash flows:
Year 0 = $-335,000
year 1 = $140,000
year 2 = $150,000
year 3 = $100,000
I = 6%
NPV= $14,536.87
NPV for project B
Cash flows:
Year 0 = $-365,000
year 1 = $220,000
year 2 = $110,000
year 3 = $150,000
I = 6%
NPV= $66,389.67
Both projects are profitable but because the firm uses capital rationing , the manager has to pick the now profitbale project, which is project B.
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
I hope my answer helps you
The firm should select project B as it has more NPV.
What is capital rationing?It is a method in which the company has limited fund, so it undertakes the project with maximum return. This method employees the net present value method.
Given: project A project B
year0(Initial investment) $335,000 $365,000
year1(cash inflows) $140,000 $220,000
year2(cash inflows) $150,000 $150,000
year3(cash inflows) $100,000 $150,000
cost of capital=6%
Present value of Project A
year0(Initial investment) $335,000 1 ($335,000)
year1(cash inflows) $140,000 0.9433 $132,062
year2(cash inflows) $150,000 0.8999 $134,985
year3(cash inflows) $100,000 0.8396 $83,960
cost of capital=6% $351,007
NPV=16,007
Present value of Project B
year0(Initial investment) $365,000 1 ($365,000)
year1(cash inflows) $220,000 0.9433 $207,526
year2(cash inflows) $150,000 0.8999 $134,985
year3(cash inflows) $150,000 0.8396 $125,940
cost of capital=6% $46,8451
NPV= 103,451
So as the NPV of project B is higher than NPV of project A, the manager should select project B.
Therefore, the manger should select project B.

When Shondra shops at the warehouse club, she buys paper towels and tissues in bulk. What type of packaging do these products come in
Answer:
Unit load
Explanation:
A unit-load packaging is used for loading individual goods together and shipping the package into a single box. Another choice is not appropriate for this form of packaging as they're concerned about carton packaging and shipping container related packaging.
Therefore in the given since she wants to buy the paper towels and tissues in bulk so it reflects the unit load as it derives the same meaning
Hence, the correct option is the unit load.
If the ending inventory of a firm is overstated by $50,000, by how much and in what direction (overstated or understated) will the firm's operating income be misstated? (Hint: Use the cost of goods sold model, enter hypothetically "correct" data, and then reflect the effects of the ending inventory error and determine the effect on cost of goods sold.)
Answer:
50,000 overstated.
Explanation:
As the ending inventory is overstated by 50,000 we can conclude the implications using the inventory identity:
Beginning + Purchase = COGS + Ending
As the left side will be the correct display they will have no error.
Therefore the COGS will compensate the mistake in the ending ivnentory
0 = COGS + 50,000
COGS = -50,000
The COGS are 50,000 lower than it should be therefore the gross profit is overstated as
Sales - COGS = Gross Profit
0 - (-50,000) = Gross Profit
+ 50,000 = Gross Profit
This also makes the operating income which, derives from gross profit to be overstated as well.

which of the following situations will likely result in the highest price for a good?
-high demand and high supply
-low demand and high supply
-low supply and low demand
-low supply and high demand
Answer:
low supply and high demand
Explanation:
The situation that will most likely result in the highest price for a good is 'low supply and high demand. When there is a low supply of a product that is highly desired by consumers, companies will take this as an opportunity to raise said products price if they have it in stock. A good example of this is the shortage in supply of toilet paper that occurred at the start of the 2020 pandemic. Since there was such a high demand for toilet paper and a rather low supply of it, businesses began to increase their prices when they had it in stock.
A company is considering the purchase of a new machine for $49,000. Management predicts that the machine can produce sales of $16,100 each year for the next 10 years. Expenses are expected to include direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead totaling $7,900 per year including depreciation of $4,100 per year. Income tax expense is $3,280 per year based on a tax rate of 40%. What is the payback period for the new machine?
Answer:
7.47 years
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
= amount invested / cash flows
To derive cash flow: (S - C - D) x (1 - t) + D
S = sales = $16,100
C = Cost of goods sold = $7,900
D = deprecation = $4,100
T = tax = 40%
$16,100 - $7,900 - $4,100 = $4100
$4100 × 0.6 = $2460
$2460 + $4,100 = $6560
$49,000 / $6560 = 7.47 years

Charter Company, which uses the perpetual inventory method, purchases different letters for resale. Character had a beginning inventory comprised of nine units at $3 per unit. The company purchased four units at $5 per unit in February, sold seven units in October, and purchased five units at $6 per unit in December. If Charter Company uses the LIFO method, what is the cost of goods sold for the year
Answer:
Cost of Goods sold is $29
Explanation:
Under the perpetual LIFO or Last In First Out method of inventory valuation, we value the Cost of Goods Sold based on the price of the most recently purchased inventory before sale. Thus the units of closing inventory contains the inventory that was purchased first.
The cost of goods sold under LIFO will be,
Beginning Inventory (9* 3) = 27
Feb purchases (4 * 5) = 20
Oct sales (4 * 5 + 3 * 3) = (29)
Dec purchases (5 * 6) = 30
Ending Inventory = 48
So, the cost of goods sold under perpetual LIFO will comprise of the most recently purchased inventory before sale. The most recently purchased inventory before October sale was of February purchases. Thus, out of the 7 units sold, 4 will comprise of the February purchases and the remaining, 3 units, will be from the beginning inventory.
The cost of goods sold is,
COGS = 4 * 5 + 3 * 3
COGS = 29
The following information is taken from Reagan Company's December 31 balance sheet: Cash and cash equivalents $ 9,019 Accounts receivable $ 73,422 Merchandise inventories $ 63,362 Prepaid expenses $ 4,700 Accounts payable $ 15,550 Notes payable $ 89,638 Other current liabilities $ 10,100 If net credit sales for the current year were $608,500, the firm's days' sales uncollected for the year is: (Use 365 days a year.)
Answer:
The firm's days' sales uncollected for the year is 44 days.
Explanation:
Days’ Sales Uncollected is a liquidity ratio that is used to measure the number of days it takes a company to collect cash from its customers. It is the number of days before the receivable or credit balances from customers will be collected. It is also known as average collection period or days sales outstanding.
The formula for calculating the Days’ Sales Uncollected is given as follows:
Days’ Sales Uncollected = (Account receivable / Net credit sales) * 365 days
Substituting the relevant values from the question into the formula above, we have:
Days’ Sales Uncollected = ($73,422 / $608,500) * 365 =
Days’ Sales Uncollected = 0.120660640920296 * 365 days
Days’ Sales Uncollected = 44 days approximately.
Therefore, the firm's days' sales uncollected for the year is 44 days. That is, it takes the firm approximately 44 days to collect cash from his customers on average.
Merando Industries employs a 5-day workweek and a September 30 year-end. Normal weekly wages amount to $41760. If September 30 ends on a Wednesday, what is the appropriate journal entry at fiscal year-end
Answer:
Debit: Salaries and wages expense $25,056
Credit: Salaries and wages payable $25,056
(To recognize the salaries and wages payable at year-end)
Explanation:
Merando Industries employs a 5-day workweek - this means $41,760 normal weekly wages can be divided by 5 to arrive at the daily workweek wages, which is $41,760 / 5 = $8,352.
If the fiscal year-end is a Wednesday, the company has to recognize a salaries and wages payable of $25,056 due to the following:
the workweek remains 2 weekdays to completethe company pays at the completion of the 5-day workweekthere is no need to recognize the remaining 2 days next year as salaries and wages payable since the employer may not have control over the employees - they may decide the exit the companySo, the amount to be recognized will be $8,352 x 3 = $25,056.

Suppose at December 31 of a recent year, the following information (in thousands) was available for sunglasses manufacturer Oakley Inc.: ending inventory $156,748; beginning inventory $108,738; cost of goods sold $348,930 and sales revenue $757,813.
Required:
a. Calculate the inventory turnover for Oakley, Inc. (Round inventory turnover to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5.12.)
b. Calculate the days in inventory for Oakley, Inc. (Round days in inventory to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
Answer:
a. 2.63
b. 139 days
Explanation:
a. Inventory Turnover is a ratio that measures how often inventory is replaced by a company. A higher ratio is good because it means that the company is selling more.
Formula;
= [tex]\frac{Cost of Goods Sold}{ \frac{Beginning Inventory + Closing Inventory}{2} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{348,930}{ \frac{108,738 + 156,748}{2} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{348,930}{132,743}[/tex]
= 2.63
b. Days in Inventory refers to the amount of time that stock remains in the company before it is sold. This is preferred to be lower as opposed to higher.
= [tex]\frac{365}{Inventory Turnover Ratio}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{365}{2.63}[/tex]
= 138.78
= 139 days
Suppose the price elasticity of demand for a product is 0.5. If a supplier wants to increase revenue, what change should it make to price, if any?
Answer:
The correct answer is: Increase the price in order to increase revenue.
Explanation:
To begin with, the price elasticity of demand for a product is the concept known in the economics that refers to the variation that happens in the quantity demanded of a product when the price of it changes a bit. Moreover, when the price elasticity of demand is 0.5 the product is relatively inelastic and therefore that if the price increases the quantity demanded will basically stay the same more less and that is why if the price increases the product will no suffer changes in its quantity demanded and that will cause the supplier to earn a higher total revenue.

The Drogon Co. just issued a dividend of $2.80 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 4.5 percent growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $58 a share, what is the company’s cost of equity? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
9.54%
Explanation:
we can use the dividend growth model (Gordon model) to calculate the cost of equity (Re):
current stock price (P₀) = next future dividend (Div₁) / [cost of equity (Re) - constant growth rate (g)]
Div₁ = $2.80 x 1.045 = $2.926
$58 = $2.926 / (Re - 0.045)
Re - 0.045 = $2.923 / $58 = 0.05045
Re - 0.045 = 0.05045
Re = 0.05045 + 0.045 = 0.0954 = 9.54%
Structuring a Special-Order Problem Harrison Ford Company has been approached by a new customer with an offer to purchase 10,000 units of its model IJ5 at a price of $5 each. The new customer is geographically separated from the company's other customers, and existing sales would not be affected. Harrison normally produces 75,000 units of IJ5 per year but only plans to produce and sell 60,000 in the coming year. The normal sales price is $12 per unit. Unit cost information for the normal level of activity is as follows: Direct materials $1.75 Direct labor 2.50 Variable overhead 1.50 Fixed overhead 3.25 Total $9.00 Fixed overhead will not be affected by whether or not the special order is accepted.
Direct Materials $1.75
Direct Labor 2.50
Variable Overhead 1.50
Fixed Overhead 3.25
Total $9.00
Requried:
a. What are the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives (accept or reject the special order)?
b. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
Answer:
Effect on income= $7,500 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Special offer:
Units= 10,000
Price= $5
Production costs:
Direct Materials $1.75
Direct Labor 2.50
Variable Overhead 1.50
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Effect on income= number of units*unitary contribution margin
Effect on income= 10,000*(5 - 1.75 - 2.5 - 1.5)
Effect on income= $7,500 increase
Southwick Products manufactures its products in two separate departments: Machining and Assembly. Total manufacturing overhead costs for the year are budgeted at $1,050,000. Of this amount, the Machining Department incurs $ 650,000 (primarily for machine operation and depreciation) while the Assembly Department incurs $400,000. The company estimates that it will incur 5,000 machine hours (all in the Machining Department) and 10,000 direct labor hours (2,000 in the Machining Department and 8,000 in the Assembly Department) during the year.
Southwick Products currently uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours to allocate overhead. However, the company is considering refining its overhead allocation system by using departmental overhead rates. The Machining Department would allocate its overhead using machine hours (MH), but the Assembly Department would allocate its overhead using direct labor (DL) hours. The following chart shows the machine hours (MH) and direct labor (DL) hours incurred by Jobs 500 and 501 in each production department:
Machining Department Assembly Department
Job 500….10 MH 15 DL hours
2 DL hours
Job 501…..20 MH
2 DL hours 15 DL hours
Both Jobs 500 and 501 used $1 ,000 of direct materials. Wages and benefits total $30 per direct labor hour. Southwick Products prices its products at 120% of total manufacturing costs.
Requirement:
a. Compute the company's current plantwide overhead rate.
b. Compute refined departmental overhead rates.
Answer:
a. 105
b. For machining $130
For assembly $50
Explanation:
a. The computation of the company's current plant-wide overhead rate is shown below:-
Current plant-wide overhead rate = Total manufacturing overhead ÷ Total direct labor hours
= $1,050,000 ÷ 10,000
= 105
b. The computation of refined departmental overhead rates is shown below:-
Departmental overhead cost = Overhead cost of department ÷ Cost driver of department
For machining
= $650,000 ÷ 5,000
= $130
For Assembly
= $400,000 ÷ 8,000
= $50

amantha was ill for four months this year. Samantha missed work during this period, but disability insurance paid $18,000 of disability pay to replace her missed salary. Samantha shares the cost of the insurance with her employer. This year Samantha's employer paid $2,200 in disability premiums for Samantha as a nontaxable fringe benefit and Samantha paid the remaining $1,100 of premiums from her salary. What amount of the disability pay must Samantha include in her gross income (Rounded to the nearest whole dollar)
Answer: $12,000
Explanation:
Disability Insurance paid $18,000 to Samantha but Samantha had to pay $1,100 in premiums for the disability insurance while her employer paid $2,200. This premium that they both paid is the cost of her insurance payout for disability.
Her gross income will therefore be;
= [tex]\frac{2,200}{2,200 + 1,100}[/tex] * 18,000
= $12,000
This is her income because this is the percentage of the payout that was covered by her insurer.

During the year a parent makes sales of inventory at a profit to its 75 percent owned subsidiary. The subsidiary also makes sales of inventory at a profit to its parent during the same year. Both the parent and the subsidiary have on hand at the end of the year 20 percent of the inventory acquired from one another. Consolidated revenues for the year should exclude:________.
a) 80 percent of the total revenues from intercompany sales.
b) only the revenues from the subsidiary's intercompany sales.

Answer: total revenues from intercompany sales.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that during the year a parent makes sales of inventory at a profit to its 75 percent owned subsidiary and that the subsidiary also makes sales of inventory at a profit to its parent during the same year.
We are further told that both the parent and the subsidiary have on hand at the end of the year 20 percent of the inventory acquired from one another.
In this case, the consolidated revenues for the year should exclude total revenues from intercompany sales
. [5 pts] A life-saving medicine without any close substitutes will tend to have a. a small elasticity of demand. b. a large elasticity of demand. c. a small elasticity of supply. d. a large elasticity of supply.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: a small elasticity of demand.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept known as "price elasticity of demand" refers to the relationship that shows how much the quantity demanded of a product will change when the price of it changes. And therefore that it indicates the variation that exists between the price and the quantity demanded for the product.
Secondly, when it comes to products that are highly essential to life, like water, the price elasticity of its demand will be inelastic or what is the same as small elastic due to the fact that it does not matter how much the price changes, the amount demanded by the consumers will stay due to the fact that the product is highly needed in their lives.

Juliette formed a new business to sell sporting goods this year. The business opened its doors to customers on June 1. Determine the number of start-up costs Juliette can immediately expense (not including amortization) this year in the following alternative scenarios:1) She incurred start-up costs of $3,000.2) She incurred start-up costs of $42,250.3) She incurred start-up costs of $51,850.
Answer:
Juliette Sporting Goods
Determination of the number of Start-up Costs to Expense Under U.S. GAAP and IRS Reporting:
1) She incurred start-up costs of $3,000.
Juliette can expense $3,000 this first year under US GAAP and for IRS tax purposes.
2) She incurred start-up costs of $42,250.
i) Under U.S. GAAP reporting, Juliette can expense the $42,250 this year.
ii) Under IRS reporting, Juliette can expense $5,000 this first year or elect to expense $2,250 the first year. The balance of $37,250 (or $40,000) will be amortized.
3) She incurred start-up costs of $51,850.
i) Under U.S. GAAP reporting, Juliette can expense the $51,850 this year.
ii) Under IRS reporting, Juliette can expense $1,850 this first year and the balance of $50,000 would be amortized.
Explanation:
a) For those companies reporting under US GAAP, Financial Accounting Standards Codification 720 states that start up/organization costs should be expensed as incurred.
b) Start-up cost is treated differently for tax purposes: The IRS allows a deduction of $5,000 in the first year you are in business, provided it is $50,000 or less. This deduction must be made in the first year of active engagement in the business. The balance over $5,000 must be capitalized and amortized over the applicable number of years.
If start-up cost is more than $50,000 but less than $55,000,there is a phase out of the $5,000 deduction. For example, if you spent $51,850, your deduction in the first year would be $1,850 and then the balance of $50,000 would have to be capitalized and amortized.
If startup costs is greater than $55,000, there is no immediate deduction of $5,000 in the first year of active business. All the costs would be capitalized and then amortized each year as an expense.
The summary is that for tax reporting, the IRS does not allow a start-up cost deduction in excess of $5,000 each year. And the limit for this amortization of start-up costs is 15 years or 180 months.
In the 2020 CARES Act, most Americans received $1,200 stimulus checks (sorry college students). Will people spend most of the money they receive (like in the simple MPC model) or will they save most of it? Why?
Answer:
Individuals won't go through the vast majority of the cash as indicated by the MPC fo ordinary occasions. Despite the fact that the $1200 will add to the buying intensity of the individuals and those individuals who have lost positions and are battling to get by will spend on the essential things, the MPC during an emergency or downturn is a lot of lower than ordinary occasions.
It is a result of the vulnerability made by the emergency. Individuals don't have a clue how much their pay can be sooner rather than later and they need to spare as much as could be expected under the circumstances with the goal that they can make sure about their future.
Their longing to spare increments in a monetary emergency. Along these lines, the vast majority of the $1200 will be spared, and generally, just necessities will be expended out of the additional pay.
