Answer:
Unitary cost= $55
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total number of units manufactured= 2,400
Total cost incurred in production= $132,000
Beginning inventory= 0
Ending inventory= 0
To calculate the unitary cost, we need to use the following formula:
Unitary cost= total cost / units manufactured
Unitary cost= 132,000 / 2,400
Unitary cost= $55
A sales manager, Dev, is facing an ethical situation wherein his bicycle company that specializes in mountain bikes sold a bicycle with a defective component. If he informs the customer and issues a recall, it would cost him a substantial amount of money. If the bike malfunctions, there is a very small chance that it could cause serious injury to a cyclist who might use it on rough terrain. He decides to use the egoism approach to decision making and remain silent about the defect, because he:________.
A) is motivated by self-interest.
B) is looking to accomplish the greatest good for the greatest number of people.

Explanation:
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.
What is the net asset value at the start and end of the year?
Answer:
$19.43
Explanation:
Net asset value at the end of the year = ($219,000,000 / 12,000,000 shares) * 1.07 * (1 - 0.005)
Net asset value at the end of the year = $18.25 * 1.07 * 0.995
Net asset value at the end of the year = $19.4298625
Net asset value at the end of the year = $19.43
Primara Corporation has a standard cost system in which it applies overhead to products based on the standard direct labor-hours allowed for the actual output of the period. Data concerning the most recent year appear below:
Total budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year $250,000
Actual fixed overhead cost for the year $254,000
Budgeted direct labor-hours (denominator level of activity) 25,000
Actual direct labor-hours 27,000
Standard direct labor-hours allowed for the actual output 26,000
Required:
a. Compute the fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year.
b. Compute the fixed overhead budget variance and volume variance.
Answer:
1. Predetermined overhead rate = Total fixed overhead cost year / Budgeted standard direct labor hours
Predetermined overhead rate = $250,000 / 25,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $10.00 per direct labor hour
2. Fixed overhead budget variance = Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead
Fixed overhead budget variance = $254,000 - $250,000
Fixed overhead budget variance = $4,000 (Unfavorable)
Fixed overhead volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - [Fixed overhead applied to work in process]
Fixed overhead volume variance = $250,000 - (26,000*$10)
Fixed overhead volume variance = $250,000 - $260,000
Fixed overhead volume variance = $10,000 (Favorable)

A local bookstand believes that the demand for the Olympic edition of a sports magazine is normally distributed with a mean of 1,200 and a standard deviation of 200. Each copy of the magazine costs the bookstand $1.50 per copy, and the bookstand will sell the issue for $5.00. Following the Olympic Games, there will be no demand for the magazine, and all leftover copies will be recycled because they will have no salvage value. What is the optimal number of copies of the Olympic edition that the bookstand should order?
Answer:
1,304 copies
Explanation:
Overage cost (Co) means like cost of over ordering
Co = Cost price - Salvage value
Co = $1.50 - $0 (No salvage value)
Co = $1.50
Underage cost (Cu) means like cost of under ordering
Cu = Selling price - Cost price
Cu = $5.00 - $1.50
Cu = $3.50
Service level = Cu / (Cu + Co)
Service level = $3.50 / ($3.50 + $1.50)
Service level = $3.50 / $5.00
Service level = 0.7
Z-value = NORMSINV (Service level), Using Ms Excel
Z-value = NORMSINV (0.7)
Z-value = 0.52
Optimal Order Quantity (Q) = Mean Demand + (Z-value*Standard deviation)
Optimal Order Quantity Q = 1,200 + (0.52*200)
Optimal Order Quantity Q = 1,200 + 104
Optimal Order Quantity Q = 1,304 copies

Answer:
the amount an additional worker adds to the firm's total output.
Explanation:
The marginal product of an input is the change in total output as a result of the change in output by 1 unit
For example, the table below is the total product of labour
amount of labour output
1 10
2 20
3 40
the marginal product of the 3rd worker = (40 - 20) / (3 - 2) = 20
marginal product of the second worker = (20 - 10) / (2 -1 ) = 10
Average output = total output / labour

Your job pays you only once a year for all the work you did over the previous 12 months. Today, December 31, you just received your salary of $54,000 and you plan to spend all of it. However, you want to start saving for retirement beginning next year. You have decided that one year from today you will begin depositing 10 percent of your annual salary in an account that will earn 9.4 percent per year. Your salary will increase at 4 percent per year throughout your career. How much money will you have on the date of your retirement 45 years from today
Answer:
I will have $5,319,216.16 on the date of retiremnet.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the amount of deposit
Amount of annual deposit = Annual salary x Deposit rate
Amount of annual deposit = $54,000 x 10%
Amount of annual deposit = $5,400
Now use the following formula to calculate the balance in the account after 45 years from today
Future value of annuity = [ Periodic Annuity payment x ( 1 + growth rate ) / ( Interst rate - growth rate ) ] x [ ( 1 + interest rate )^numbers ofyears - ( 1 + growth rate )^numbers of years ]
Where
Periodic Annuity payment = Amount of annual deposit = $5,400
Periodic interest rate = 9.4%
Periodic growth rate = 4%
Numbers of years = 45 years
Future value of annuity = Balance after 45 years = ?
Placing values in the formula
Balance after 45 years = [ $5,400 x ( 1 + 4% ) / ( 9.4% - 4% ) ] x [ ( 1 + 9.4% )^45 - ( 1 + 4% )^45 ]
Balance after 45 years = [ $5,616 / 5.4% ] x [ ( 1.094^45 ) - ( 1.04^45) ]
Balance after 45 years = $104,000 x [ 56.987484867 - 5.841175681 ]
Balance after 45 years = $104,000 x 51.146309186
Balance after 45 years = $5,319,216.155344
Balance after 45 years = $5,319,216.16
The risk-free rate of return is 8%, the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 15%, and the stock of Xyrong Corporation has a beta coefficient of 1.2. Xyrong pays out 40% of its earnings in dividends, and the latest earnings announced were $10 per share. Dividends were just paid and are expected to be paid annually. You expect that Xyrong will earn an ROE of 20% per year on all reinvested earnings forever. (LO 13-2) a. What is the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock
Answer:
$101.82
Explanation:
the intrinsic value of the stock can be determined by determining the value of the stock using the constant growth dividend model
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = required return
g = growth rate
growth rate = retention rate x ROE
Retention rate = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6
0.6 x 20% = 12%
dividend = 0.4 x $10 = $4
the required return can be determined using the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
0.08 + 1.2(0.15 - 0.08) = 0.164 = 16.4%
Intrinsic value = 4 ( 1.12) / (0.164 - 0.12) = 4.48/0.044 = $101.82
Ephraim Corporation acquired 80 percent of Lilac Corporation for $200,000 cash. Lilac reported net income of $25,000 each year and dividends of $5,000 each year for 20X2, 20X3, and 20X4. On January 1, 20X2, Lilac reported common stock outstanding of $160,000 and retained earnings of $40,000, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $50,000. It held land with a book value of $90,000 and a market value of $100,000, and equipment with a book value of $40,000 and a market value of $48,000 at the date of combination. The remainder of the differential at acquisition was attributable to an increase in the value of patents, which had a remaining useful life of eight years. All depreciable assets held by Lilac at the date of acquisition had a remaining economic life of eight years. Ephraim uses the equity method in accounting for its investment in Lilac.
Based on the preceding information, what balance would Ephraim report as its investment in Lilac at January 1, 20X5?
a. $236,000
b. $248,000
c. $260,000
d. $300,000
Answer:
a. $236,000
Explanation:
Ephraim acquired 80% of Lilac corporation.
The consideration paid was $200,000 in cash
Lilac had income of $25,000 and paid $5,000 of dividend.
Land and equipment had book value different from market value.
market values are considered for the investment
$100,000 - $90,000 + $48,000 + $25,000 - $40,000 = $43,000
$43,000 * 80% = $34,000
Total investment value = $200,000 + $34,000 + dividend NCI
Total Investment Value = $236,000
Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with four years to maturity has a coupon rate of 4%. The yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond is 7.70%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note
Answer:
$8,744,669.10
Explanation:
Using the MS Excel Present value function
Value of the note = PV(Rate, Nper, PMT, -FV, Type)
Value of the note = PV(7.7%/2, 4*2, -1000000*4%/2, -1000000)
Value of the note = 8744669.0978
Value of the note = $8,744,669.10
So, the value of the Treasury note is $8,744,669.10

Pulau Penang Island Resort. Theresa Nunn is planning a 30-day vacation on Pulau Penang, Malaysia, one year from now. The presentcharge for a luxury suite plus meals in Malaysian ringgit (RM) is RM1,045/day. The Malaysian ringgitpresently trades at RM3.1350/$. She figures out the dollar cost today for a 30-day stay would be$10,000. The hotel informed her that any increase in its room charges will be limited to any increase inthe Malaysian cost of living. Malaysian inflation is expected to be 2.75% per annum, while U.S. inflationis expected to be only 1.25%.
a. How many dollars might Theresa expect to need one year hence to pay for her 30-day vacation?
b. By what percent will the dollar cost have gone up? Why?
Answer:
A) $10124.83
B) 1.0125%
Explanation:
1) We are told that the present charge for a luxury suite is RM 1,045/day.
This means that the charge after one year will also include inflation charge.
Thus;
Charge after 1 year = 1045 × (1 + 2.75%)
= 1045 × 1.0275 = RM 1,073.7375 per day
For 30 days, charge is;
1073.7375 × 30 = RM 32212.125
Spot exchange rate in 1 year = spot rate × (1 + RM inflation rate)/(1 + US inflation rate)
Spot exchange rate in 1 year = 3.135 × (1 + 2.75%)/(1 + 1.25%) = 3.135 × 1.0275/1.0125 = 3.1815
Cost needed one year to pay for 30 day vacation = 32212.125/3.1815 = $10124.83
B) percent by which the dollar cost will have gone up = (10124.83/10000) × 100% = 1.0125%

Normal conditions not applying.
Explanation:
Project management can be defined as the process of designing, planning, developing, leading and execution of a project plan or activities using a set of skills, tools, knowledge, techniques and experience to achieve the set goals and objectives of creating a unique product or service. Generally, projects are considered to be temporary because they usually have a start-time and an end-time to complete, execute or implement the project plan.
The fundamentals of Project Management includes;
1. Project initiation
2. Project planning
3. Project execution
4. Monitoring and controlling of the project
5. Adapting and closure of project.
Refining estimates may be necessary for a number of reasons. For example, people working on prototype development needing time to interact with the design engineers after the design is completed is a good example of normal conditions not applying because it follows the discretion of the manager or team involved.

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.

Plane Operating Cost = Fixed cost + (Variable cost per unit1 × q1) + (Variable cost per unit 2 × q2)
Plane Operating Cost = $40,190 + ($2709*88) + ($10 * 303)
Plane Operating Cost = $40,190 + $238,392 + $3,030
Plane Operating Cost = $281,612
So, the plane operating costs in the planning budget for August would be $281,612
There are 20 AAA batteries in a box and 7 are defective. Two batteries are selected without replacement. What is the probability of selecting a defective battery followed by another defective battery?
Answer: 0.11
Explanation:
There are 20 AAA batteries in a box and 7 are defective. If two batteries are selected without replacement, the probability of selecting a defective battery will be 7/20.
The probability of selecting another defective battery will be 6/19 as there will be 19 batteries left and 6 defective.
Then, the probability of selecting a defective battery followed by another defective battery will be:
= 7/20 × 6/19
= 42/380
= 0.11
Madison Corporation purchased 40% of Jay Corporation for $300,000 on January 1. On June 20 of the same year, Jay Corporation declared total cash dividends of $75,000. At year-end, Jay Corporation reported net income of $375,000. The balance in Madison's Equity Method Investments—Jay Corporation account as of December 31 should be:
Answer:
$420,000
Explanation:
Given the above information,
Dividend
= $75,000 × 40%
= $30,000
Share in income
= $375,000 × 40%
= $150,000
Balance in investment account
= Beginning balance + Share in income - Dividend
= $300,000 + $150,000 - $30,000
= $420,000
Therefore, the balance in Madison's equity method investments - Jay Corporation accounts as of December 31 should be $420,000

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

"1. AudioCables, Inc., is currently manufacturing an adapter that has a variable cost of $.50 per unit and a selling price of $1.00 per unit. Fixed costs are $14,000. Current sales volume is 30,000 units. The firm can substantially improve the product quality by adding a new piece of equipment at an additional fixed cost of $6,000. Variable costs would increase to $.60, but sales volume should jump to 50,000 units due to a higher-quality product. Should AudioCables buy the new equipment?"
Answer:
No.
Explanation:
Current profit of AudioCables, Inc without buying new equipment
Current Profit = Current sales volume * Selling price per unit - Fixed cost - Current sales volume * Variable cost per unit
= 30,000 * $1.00 - $14,000 - 30,000 * $0.50
= $30,000 - $14,000 - $15,000
= $1,000
So, the current profit of AudioCables, Inc., without buying new equipment is $1,000
Proposed profit of AudioCables, Inc after buying new equipment
Proposed Profit = Proposed sales volume * Selling price per unit – Fixed cost after buying new equipment - Proposed sales volume * Variable cost per unit after buying new equipment
= 50,000 * $1.00 - $20,000 – 50,000 * $0.60
= $50,000 - $20,000 - $30,000
= $0
So, the proposed profit of AudioCables, Inc., after buying new equipment is $0
Conclusion: As the profit of AudioCables, Inc., will reduce after buying new equipment from $1,000 to $0, therefore AudioCables should not buy the new equipment.
