Answer:
Incremental profit $4,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine If the order is accepted, incremental profit (loss) will be
Using this formula
Incremental profit (loss)=(Special order units*unit price)- [Special order units*(Variable cost +Additional freight costs)]
Let plug in the formula
Incremental profit (loss)=(2000* $54) - [2000*($50+$2)]
Incremental profit (loss)=$108,000-(2,000*$52)
Incremental profit (loss)=$108,000 - $104,000
Incremental profit (loss)=$4,000
Therefore If the order is accepted, incremental profit will be $4,000

Suppose that California Co., a U.S. based MNC, seeks to capitalize a difference in interest rates between euros and British pounds via the use of a carry trade. In particular, after 1 month, funds invested in euros will yield a 0.50% percent return, while funds invested in pounds will yield a return of 2.00% percent. Currently the spot rate of the British pound is $1.00 while the spot rate of the euro is $0.80. In other words, the pound is worth 1.25 euros. California Co. expects these spot rates to remain constant over the next month.
After 1 month, California Co. now has 612,000 pounds after investing their converted pounds. However, it is now time for California Co. to repay the 500,000 euro loan. If California Co. borrowed these euros at the prevailing rate of 0.50% percent, they must repay a total of ______________ euros. At the cross rate of 1.25, this repayment is equivalent to pounds. Thus, after repaying the loan, California Co. will have ___________ pounds.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The loan repayment of the 5000 euros after one month will be:
= 500,000 × (1 + .5%)
= 500,000 × 1.0005
= 502,500
Converting 502500 euros to pounds will be:
= 502500/1.25
= 402,000
Therefore, the pounds remaining will be:
= 612,000 - 402,000
= 210,000 pounds
If California Co. borrowed these euros at the prevailing rate of 0.50% percent, they must repay a total of (502500 euros). At the cross rate of 1.25, this repayment is equivalent to (402,000) pounds. Thus, after repaying the loan, California Co. will have (210,000) pounds.
Rover Corporation purchased a truck at the beginning of 2017 for $109,200. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $4,200 and a useful life of 120,000 miles. It was driven 21,000 miles in 2017 and 29,000 miles in 2018. What is the depreciation expense for 2018
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $25,375
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $109,200
Salvage value= $4,200
Useful life in miles= 120,000
To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the units-of-activity method:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in miles]*miles operated
2018:
Annual depreciation= [(109,200 - 4,200) / 120,000]*29,000
Annual depreciation= 0.875*29,000
Annual depreciation= $25,375
A store has the following demand figures for the last four years: Year Demand 1 100 2 150 3 112 4 200 Given a demand forecast for year 2 of 100, a trend forecast for year 2 of 10, an alpha of 0.3, and a beta of 0.2, what is the demand forecast for year 3 using the double exponential smoothing method
Answer:
125
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the demand forecast for year 3 using the double exponential smoothing method
Smoothed forecast for year 3 = (0.3 ×150) + (0.7 ×100) + 10
Smoothed forecast for year 3 = 45+70+10
Smoothed forecast for year 3 =125
Therefore the demand forecast for year 3 using the double exponential smoothing method will be 125

Bing Corporation acquired two inventory items at a lump-sum cost of $120,000. The acquisition included 3,000 units of product LF, and 7,000 units of product 1B. LF normally sells for $30 per unit, and 1B for $10 per unit. If Bing sells 1,000 units of LF, what amount of gross profit should it recognize
Answer: $7,500
Explanation:
3,000 units of LF normally costs:
= 3,000 * 30
= $90,000
7,000 units of 1B normally costs:
= 7,000 * 10
= $70,000
Together they cost:
= 90,000 + 70,000
= $160,000
Use this to calculate the proportional cost of LF from the lump sum:
= 90,000 / 160,000 * 120,000
= $67,500
Cost per unit of LF purchased at lump sum cost:
= 67,500 / 3,000 units
= $22.50
Gross profit:
= (Selling price - Cost per unit) * 1,000 units
= (30 - 22.50) * 1,000
= $7,500

Brodrick Company expects to produce 21,600 units for the year ending December 31. A flexible budget for 21,600 units of production reflects sales of $496,800; variable costs of $64,800; and fixed costs of $140,000. QS 23-3 Flexible budget LO P1 If the company instead expects to produce and sell 26,300 units for the year, calculate the expected level of income from operations.
Answer:
Brodrick Company
If the company instead expects to produce and sell 26,300 units for the year, the expected level of income from operations is:
= $386,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected production for the year ending December 31 = 21,600 units
Sales based on 21,600 units = $496,800 ($23 per unit)
Variable costs on 21,600 units 64,800 ($3 per unit)
Contribution margin = $432,000 ($20 per unit
Fixed costs = 140,000
Net operating income = $292,000
Expected level of income from operations (26,300 units):
Sales revenue (26,300 * $23) = $604,900
Variable costs (26,300 * $3) = 78,900
Contribution margin $526,000
Fixed costs = 140,000
Net operating income = $386,000

Juan Martinez, a systems engineer at a construction machinery company, just received his performance appraisal from his boss, Emily Taylor. Although Juan has been mostly an average performer, Emily gave him below average ratings due to the fact that the person who Emily evaluated before Juan was Max Houser, an exceptional performer. This is an example of what type of rating error
Answer: Contrast
Explanation:
Contrast error is a type of rating error whereby how a target person is evaluated in a group is dependent and affected by how others perform in that group.
Contrast error is used in appraising the performance of an individual and the rating of a candidate will be affected by how the person before him or her was rated. Based on the question, Juan was rated below average because the person before him was given an exceptional rating.

Your opinion is that CSCO has an expected rate of return of 0.15. It has a beta of 1.3. The risk-free rate is 0.04 and the market expected rate of return is 0.115. According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model, this security is
Answer:
Overpriced
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
As we know that
Expected rate of return = risk free rate + beta × ( expected market rate of return - risk free rate )
= 0.04 + 1.3 × (0.115 - 0.04)
= 0.1375
As the return of the security is 0.1375 i.e. more than the expected rate of return i.e. 0.115
Hence, it is overpriced
You enter into a short crude oil futures contract at $43 per barrel. The initial margin is $3,375 and the maintenence margin is $2,500. One contract is for 1,000 barrels of oil. By how much do oil prices have to change before you receive a margin call
Answer:
The correct answer is "43.875". A further explanation is provided below.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Initial margin,
= $3,375
Maintenance margin,
= $2,500
Barrels of oil,
= 1,000
Now,
The loss on the position will be:
= [tex]3375-2500[/tex]
= [tex]875[/tex] ($)
then,
⇒ [tex]1000 (P - 43) = 875[/tex]
⇒ [tex]1000P-43000=875[/tex]
On adding "43000" both sides, we get
⇒ [tex]1000P-43000+43000=875+43000[/tex]
⇒ [tex]1000P=43875[/tex]
⇒ [tex]P=\frac{43875}{1000}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=43.875[/tex]
A company’s unit costs based on 100000 units are: Variable costs $75 Fixed costs 30 The normal unit sales price per unit is $165. A special order from a foreign company has been received for 7500 units at $135 a unit. In order to fulfill the order, 4100 units of regular sales would have to be foregone. The incremental profit (loss) from accepting the order would be
Answer:
$81,000
Explanation:
The computation of the incremental profit (loss) from accepting the order is shown below:
Contribution per unit = $165 - $75
= $90
Now
Loss on contribution for giving up regular sales is
= $4,100 × 90
= $369,000
Now Incremental contribution for special order is
= ($135 - $75) × 7,500
= $450,000
So,
Incremental profit is
= $450,000 - $369,000
= $81,000

Castille Corp. purchases, for $600,000, land upon which a building and a dilapidated shed are situated. Castille plans to use the building as-is for operations but immediately razes the shed at a cost of $5,000 minus scrap recovery of $1,000. A recent tax appraisal of the property allocated $100,000 to the land and $400,000 to the building. In the entry to record the acquisition of the property, at what amount will Castille debit Land
Answer:
$120,800
Explanation:
Give that;
Cost of land = $600,000
Associated expenses :
Razing down the shed = $5,000
Income from scrap = $1,000
Total expenses = $4,000
The total cost of the land would be;
Total cost of land = Cost of land + Total expense
= $600,000 + $4,000
= $604,000
Tax allocation: land and building = $500,000
Land allocation will now be
= 100,000/500,000 × $604,000
= 0.2 × $604,000
= $120,800
Harvey Dent wants to sell the $43,000 TriForcebonds he purchased 3 years ago at par value. The bonds have a 2.80% coupon, 9 years to maturity, and are trading at a 2.45% yield to maturity. If Harvey sells the bonds today, his proceeds from the sale would result in:
Answer: $1203
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the proceeds gotten from the sales if Harvey sells the bonds today will be:
Formula for bond price = Present value (Rate, Period, -Coupon amount, -Par value)
= PV(2.45%, 9, -43000 × 2.8%, -43000)
= 44203
Therefore, the proceeds will be the difference between the selling price and the purchase price which will be:
= $44203 - $43000
= $1203
The total value of the bond, or the amount you'll earn if you sell it, is the sum of the face value and the bond's added interest value. The coupon for each bond specifies the interest rate.
The answer, $1203 is the proceeds from the sale would result in.
If Harvey sells the bonds today, based on the evidence presented in the question, the revenues will be:
The formula for bond price = Present value (Rate, Period, -Coupon amount, -Par value)
[tex]= PV(2.45, 9, - 43000 \text{ x } 0.028, - 43000)\\= 44203[/tex]
As a result, the revenues will be equal to the difference between the selling and buying prices, which will be:
[tex]= 44203 - 43000= $1203[/tex]

Assume that Saudi Arabia has production possibilities to produce either 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours or 25 bushels of corn using 100 worker hours. If it decides to produce 60 barrels of oil, how many bushels of corn can it produce
Answer: 10 bushels
Explanation:
If they produce 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours, it means that the number of work hours taken for 1 barrel is:
= 100 / 100
= 1 work hour
For bushels however, 1 worker hour produces:
= 25 / 100
= 0.25 bushels of corn
If 60 barrels of oil are produced, it means 60 worker hours were used which would leave 40 worker hours.
Bushels of corn produced is therefore:
= 40 * 0.25
= 10 bushels
Lynch Company began operations in 2019. The company reported $24,000 of depreciation expense on its income statement in 2019 and $26,000 in 2020. On its tax returns, Lynch deducted $32,000 for depreciation in 2019 and $37,000 in 2020. The 2020 tax return shows a tax obligation (liability) of $12,000 based on a 25% tax rate.

Determine the temporary difference between the book value of depreciable assets and the tax basis of these assets at the end of 2019 and 2020.
Answer:
2019 $8,000
2020 $19,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the temporary difference between the book value of depreciable assets and the tax basis of these assets at the end of 2019 and 2020.
Calculation for 2019 Temporary differences
2019
Using this formula
2019 Temporary differences = 2019 Depreciation- 2019 depreciation expense
Let plug in the formula
2019 Temporary differences =$32,000 - $24,000
2019 Temporary differences= $8,000
Calculation for 2020 Temporary differences
Using this formula
2020 Temporary differences=(2019 Depreciation+2020 Depreciation)-( 2019 Depreciation expense+2020 Depreciation expense)
Let plug in the formula
2020 Temporary differences= ($32,000 + $37,000) - ($24,000 + $26,000)
2020 Temporary differences=$69,000-$50,000
2020 Temporary differences= $19,000
Therefore the temporary difference between the book value of depreciable assets and the tax basis of these assets at the end of 2019 and 2020 will be $8,000 and $19,000
Dev is a strategist for the firm Stark Industries, which produces high-quality HD movie cameras. This company needs a specific material for a new camera they are developing, which is manufactured in large quantities by a competitor called LENS Inc. However, this material is difficult to trade. Because of this, which of the following is most likely the best strategy for Dev to suggest?
A. Stark industries should acquire LENS
B. Stark industries should enter into co-opetition with LENS
C. Stark industries should form a long term agreement with LENS
D. Stark industries should form a short term agreement with LENS
Answer: A. Stark industries should acquire LENS
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the best strategy that Dev should suggest is that Stark industries should acquire LENS.
Since Stark Industries require the material from LENS and it's difficult to trade, the best option is to acquire it. The acquisition will make the production of the high-quality HD movie cameras easier.
It should be noted that entering into a competition with LENS is not advisable as that'll lead to the material not gotten. Also, a short or long term agreement isn't advisable as well.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
Sage Company is operating at 90% of capacity and is currently purchasing a part used in its manufacturing operations for $16.00 per unit. The unit cost for the business to make the part is $20.00, including fixed costs, and $11.00, excluding fixed costs. If 32,842 units of the part are normally purchased during the year but could be manufactured using unused capacity, what would be the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it
Answer:
$164,210 decrease
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what would be the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it
Differential cost increase or decrease=(32,842 * 16)- (32,842 * 11)=
Differential cost increase or decrease=$525,472-$361,262
Differential cost increase or decrease=$164,210 decrease
Therefore what would be the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it is $164,210 decrease
