Answer:
A. Variable cost per hour=$41.50
Fixed cost =$48,390
B. $106,490
Explanation:
a. Using the high-low method to estimate the fixed and variable portions
Calculation for the variable cost per hour
Variable cost per hour=(115,205-101,925) / (1,610-1,290)
Variable cost per hour=13,280/320
Variable cost per hour=$41.50
Calculation for fixed cost
Fixed cost= 115,205-1,610*$41.50
Fixed cost =$48,390
B. Calculation for the estimated monthly overhead costs
Overhead cost =$48,390+1,400 machine-hours*$41.50
Overhead cost =$106,490

Daily demand for a certain product is normally distributed with a mean of 138 and a standard deviation of 13. The supplier is reliable and maintains a constant lead time of 7 days. The cost of placing an order is $17 and the cost of holding inventory is $0.40 per unit per year. There are no stock-out costs, and unfilled orders are filled as soon as the order arrives. Assume sales occur over 358 days of the year.
Your goal here is to find the order quantity and reorder point to satisfy a 73 percent probability of not stocking out during the lead time.
a. To manage inventory, the company is using
Continuous review system
Periodic review system
b. Find the order quantity. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Order quantity books
c. Find the reorder point. (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.)
Reorder point
Answer:
A. Continuous review system
B. Order quantity = 2,049 Books
C. Reorder point=987
Explanation:
a. To manage inventory, the company is using CONTINUOUS REVIEW SYSTEM
b. Calculation to find the order quality
Using this formula
Order quantity = √((2DS)/H)
Let plug in the morning
Order quantity=√ ((2 x 49,404 x 17)/0.40)
Order quantity = 2,049 Books
Calculation for annual demand
Annual demand=138*358 days
Annual demand=49,404
C. Calculation for reorder point
First step is to find the σL
73 % S.L. - z = 0.613
Using this formula to find the σL
σL = (Lσ^2)
Let plug in the formula
σL=√(7(13)^2)
σL= 34.39
Second step is to find the Reorder point using this formula
Reorder point = d bar(L) + zσL
Let plug in the formula
Reorder point = (138)(7) + 0.613(34.39)
Reorder point = 966+21
Reorder point=987

On December 31, 2021, the end of the fiscal year, California Microtech Corporation completed the sale of its semiconductor business for $15 million. The semiconductor business segment qualifies as a component of the entity according to GAAP. The book value of the assets of the segment was $13 million. The loss from operations of the segment during 2021 was $4.8 million. Pretax income from continuing operations for the year totaled $7.8 million. The income tax rate is 25%.
Prepare the lower portion of the 2021 income statement beginning with income from continuing operations before income taxes. Ignore EPS disclosures. (Amounts to be deducted and negative amounts should be indicated with a minus sign. Enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions.)
Answer:
Income from continuing operations before income taxes 7,800,000
Less Income tax expenses (7,800,000*25%) (1,950,000)
Income from continuing operations 5,850,000
Discontinued operations:
Loss from operations of discontinued component (2,800,000)
Income tax benefit 700,000
Loss on discontinued operations (2,100,000)
Net Income (loss) 3,750,000
Working
Loss from operations of discontinued component
= Gain from sale of semiconductor business - loss from operations of the segment
= (15 - 13 ) - 4.8
= -$2.8 million

= $700,000
SY Manufacturers (SYM) is producing T-shirts in three colors: red, blue, and white. The monthly demand for each color is 3,487 units. Each shirt requires 0.75 pound of raw cotton that is imported from the Luft-Geshfet-Textile (LGT) Company in Brazil. The purchasing price per pound is $1.55 (paid only when the cotton arrives at SYM's facilities) and transportation cost by sea is $0.70 per pound. The traveling time from LGT’s facility in Brazil to the SYM facility in the United States is two weeks. The cost of placing a cotton order, by SYM, is $186 and the annual interest rate that SYM is facing is 32 percent of total cost per pound.
a. What is the optimal order quantity of cotton? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Optimal order quantity pounds
b. How frequently should the company order cotton? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Company orders once every months
c. Assuming that the first order is needed on 1-Jul, when should SYM place the order?
17-Jun
1-Jul
15-Jul
d. How many orders will SYM place during the next year? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Number of orders times
e. What is the resulting annual holding cost? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Annual holding cost $ per year
f. What is the resulting annual ordering cost?
Annual ordering cost $
g. If the annual interest cost is only 5 percent, how will it affect the annual number of orders, the optimal batch size, and the average inventory?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The optimal order quantity can be calculated as:
= √2DS/H
where
D = 3 × 12 × 3487 × 0. 75
= 94149
Total cost incurred during purchase
= $1.55 + $0.70
= $2.25
Setup cost (S) = $186
Holding cost
= 32% × $2.25
= 0.32 × $2.25
= $0.72
Optimal order quantity
= √(2 × 94149 × 186)/0.72
= 6974.50
b. This will be calculated as:
Annual demand / EOQ
= 94149/6974.50
= 13.50
The company should order cotton 13.5 times per year.
c. Since the first order is needed on 1-July and lead time is 2 weeks, SYM should place the order before 17th June.
d. This will be:
= Annual demand / EOQ
= 94149/6974.50
= 13.5 orders
e. The resulting annual holding cost will be:
= 0.72 × (6974.50/2)
= 0.72 × 3487.25
= $2510.82
f. The resulting annual ordering will be:
= 94149/6974.50 × $186
= 13.5 × $186
= $2511

Two manufacturers, denoted 1 and 2, are competing for 100 identical customers. Each manufacturer chooses both the price and quality of its product, where each variable can take any nonnegtive real number. Let pi and xi denote, respectively, the price and quality of manufacturer i's product. The cost to manufacturer i of producing for one customer is 10+5xi . Note in this expression that the cost is higher when the quality is higher. If manufacturer i sells to qi customers, then its total cost is qi(10+5xi). Each cutomer buys from the manufacturer who offers the greatest value, where the value of buying from manufacturer i is 1000+ xi - pi ; higher quality and lower price means more value. A manufacturer's is qi( pi- 10 - 5xi ). If both manufacturer offers the same value, then 50 customers buy from each manufacturer. If one manufacturer offers higher value, then 100 customers buy from it.
Find all symmetric Nash equilibria.
Answer:
Nash equilibrium will occur at the following conditions P1 = P2 = 10 and x1 = x2 = 0.
Explanation:
The term or concept known as the Nash equilibria is very important and it is often used in the determination of the kind of price strategies companies that are competing against one another will use in order to acquire more customers than the others.
So, in this question/problem we are given that there are two manufacturer that is manufacturer 1 and manufacturer 2. Also, the total number of customers both manufacturers are competing for is equal to 100.
Kindly note that we are given from the question that ''Each manufacturer chooses both the price and quality of its product, where each variable can take any non-negative real number''
If each of the manufacturer has 50 customers each that is symmetric condition.
Assuming we have a condition or situation where p1 is less than p2 for manufacturer 1, it means that manufacture 1 lessens its price, therefore manufacturer 1 will have all all the profit = 100(p1 - 10 - 5x1).
Assuming manufacturer 1 reduces both the quality and the price this time around to the point that it is justifiable to lower the price because of the quality , it means that we will have 1000 + (x1 = 0) + (p1 - compensation m).
For any of the manufacturer, If m> x' and we have that x1 = x'>0[ which is for the quality], then, the profit will be 100(10 + 5x'- m -10).
Also, For any of the manufacturer, if we have x'<m<5x' and x1 for the representation of quality, then, Customers will buy from both manufacturer making m<5x'.
Therefore, Nash equilibrium will occur at the following conditions: P1 = P2 = 10 and x1 = x2 = 0.

Break-even point (dollars) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
= $7,840 ÷ 0.40
= $19,600
Net income, assuming 1,600 haircuts are given in a month [calculation]
Contribution (1,600 × $6.40) $10,240
Less Fixed Costs ($7,840)
Net Income/(loss) $2,400
All the following are characteristics of a tradable market except a. Easy Access b. Parity c. Liquidity d. Fungibility e. Lack of a Trend
Answer:
e. Lack of a Trend
Explanation:
The tradable market is the market in which the trading is to be done
It involves various attributes like parity, liquidity, fungibility but does not involve the lacking of a trend
Therefore according to the given situation, the option e is correct as it does not come under the tradable market characteristics
Therefore option e is right and the same is to be considered
Luzadis Company makes furniture using the latest automated technology. The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $900,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 75,000 machine-hours.
During the year, a large quantity of furniture on the market resulted in cutting back production and a buildup of furniture in the company’s warehouse. The company’s cost records revealed the following actual cost and operating data for the year:
Machine-hours 76,000
Manufacturing overhead cost $637,000
Inventories at year-end:
Raw materials $20,000
Work in process (includes overhead applied of $36,480) $115,800
Finished goods (includes overhead applied of $91,200) $289,500
Cost of goods sold (includes overhead applied of $480,320) $1,524,700
Required:
a. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead.
b. Assume that the company closes any underapplied or overapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
c. Assume that the company allocates any underapplied or over appliedoverhead proportionally to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
d. How much higher or lower will net operating income be if the underapplied or overapplied overhead is allocated to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold rather than being closed to Cost of Goods Sold?
Answer:
Please solution below
Explanation:
a. Compute the under applied or over applied overhead
First, we need to determine the predetermined overhead rate.
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead / Estimated total machine hours
= $900,000 / 75,000 hours
= $12.0 per hour
But;
Actual manufacturing overhead = $637,000
Manufacturing overhead applied to work in process during the year = 76,000 actual MHs × $12.00 per MH $912,000
Over applied overhead cost = $275,000
b. Journal entry
Cost of goods sold Dr $275,000
To Manufacturing over head applied Cr $275,000
c. The over applied over head would be allocated using the following percentages;
Overhead applied during the year ;
Work in process = $36,480. 6%
Finished goods = $91,200. 15%
Cost of goods sold = $480,320 79%
Total = $608,000 100%
The entry to record the allocation of the overhead applied would be ;
Work in process [6% × $275,000] = $16,500
Finished goods [15% × $275,000] = $41,250
Cost of goods sold [79% × $275,000] = $217,250
d. Comparing the two method;
Cost of goods sold if the over applied overhead is closed to the cost of goods sold [$1,524,700 + $275,000] = $1,799,700
Cost of goods sold if the overhead applied is closed to work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold = [$1,524,700 + $217,250] =
$1,741,950
Difference in cost of goods sold = $57,750
Three explorers are getting kidnapped by an evil tribe deep in the jungle, and their life now depends on their ability to correctly answer the following challenge the evil tribe's chief has for them. The explorers are tied to three trees facing each other and are presented with the chief's 5 wives: 3 brunettes, and 2 blondes. The three explorers are now blindfolded, and the chief picks three of his five wives to stand behind the trees the explorers are tied to, one behind each tree. The remaining two wives disappear from view. Then the blindfolds come off, and each explorer is able to see the two wives that are standing behind his two colleagues, but not the one behind himself. Each explorer now has up to 10 minutes time to think, after which each has to correctly answer what hair color the wife has that is standing behind him, or lose his life. When you, as one of the three explorers, gain your sight after the blindfold comes off, you see two brunettes standing behind your two colleagues. And now your life depends on figuring out who is behind you: a blonde or a brunette?
Answer:
Brunette
Explanation:
Originally there were 3 brunettes and 2 blondes. If once you are able to see, you realize that 2 brunettes are standing behind your friends, that means that behind you there could be one of two blondes or the remaining brunette.
The possibility of the wife behind you being a blonde is 2/3 or 67%, while the chance of her being brunette is only 33%. But this question is not about probability, instead it is about game strategy. I would bet that the wife behind me is a brunette.
Imagine that the two women that you saw were blondes, then you would immediately say brunette. Even if you only saw one blonde wife, your obvious choice would be brunette. This applies to all 3 friends and the chief is gambling against you all 3. He will not give any of you any type of advantage.
Assume the bonds below have the same term and principal and that the state or local government that issues the municipal bond has a good credit rating. Which list has bonds correctly ordered from the one that pays the highest interest rate to the one that pays the lowest interest rate
Answer:
b. corporate bond, U.S. government bond, municipal bond
Explanation:
If we assume that the bonds have the similar time period and the principal amount so the bond that pays the highest interest to the bond that pays the lowest interest rate is described below:
The ranking can be done
Corporate bond - highest interest rates
Municipal bonds - lowest interest rates
The same is to be considered
Therefore the option b is correct
At year-end 2018, Marvel Company total assets were $4.5 million, and its accounts payable were $850,000. Sales, which in 2018 were $5.5 million, are expected to increase by 25% in 2019. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Marvel typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $ 2.25 million in 2018, and retained earnings were $150,000. Marvel has arranged to sell $25,000 of new common stock in 2019 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2019. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 2.5%, and 55% of earnings will be paid out as dividends.
Required:
a. What were Marvel's total long-term debt and total liabilities in 2018?
b. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2019?
Answer:
Marvel Company
a. Marvel's total long-term debt in 2018 = $1,250,000
a2. Marvel's total liabilities = $2,100,000 ($850,000 +$1,250,000)
b. New long-term debt financing needed in 2019 = $810,156
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Year-end 2018:
Total assets = $4.5 million
Accounts payable $850,000
Sales = $5.5 million
Common Stock = $2.25 million
Retained Earnings = $150,000
Long-term debt = Total assets Minus (Accounts payable + Equity)
= $4,500,000 - ($850,000 + 2,250,000 + 150,000)
= $1,250,000
Year 2019:
Sales = $6,875,000 ($5.5 million * 1.25)
Net profit margin on sales = $171,875 (2.5% * $6,875,000)
Dividends = 55% of earnings = $94,531 (55% * $171,875)
Retained earnings for the year = $77,344
Retained earnings for 2018: 150,000
Retained earnings, 2019: $227,344
Common Stock = $2,275,000 ($2,250,000 + $25,000)
Total equity = $2,502,344 ($2,250,000 + 227,344)
Total assets = $5,625,000 ($4.5 million * 1.25)
Accounts payable = $1,062,500 ($850,000 * 1.25)
Long-term debt = Total Assets - (Total equity + Accounts Payable)
= $5,625,000 - ($2,502,344 + 1,062,500)
= $2,060,156
Increase in long-term debt = $810,156 ($2,060,156 - $1,250,000)

What are the key factor(s) for success in this industry/market
Answer:
Strategic Focus (Leadership, Management, Planning) People (Personnel, Staff, Learning, Development) Operations (Processes, Work) Marketing (Customer Relations, Sales, Responsiveness)
Explanation:
Whether you're operating an established small business or just starting out, an effective, ongoing marketing strategy is vital. But marketing without a plan will not only waste time and money; it may alienate your customers and stall the growth of your business.
To match your marketing strategies to the needs and expectations of your target customers and ensure that your business continues to grow, start by identifying your key success factors.
Key success factors (or KSF) are business strategies that are critical to a successful relationship with your customers.
Key success factors are decided by the needs and preferences of your market and customers, not by your business. However, consumers aren't going to tell you what those KSF are. Discovering your key success factors requires researching your customers to understand who they are, what they want from your company, and what prompts them to make a purchase.
A business generally has three to five key success factors that it needs to focus on to achieve its goals. Key success factors also may relate to areas of weakness that you must overcome to create a stronger relationship with your customers.
Once you understand and begin using your key success factors, they become part of your brand and business style.

Silver Enterprises has acquired All Gold Mining in a merger transaction. The following balance sheets represent the premerger book values for both firms:
Silver Enterprises
Current assets $ 10,000
Current liabilities $ 7,840
Other assets 3,100
Long-term debt 5,110
Net fixed assets 17,300
Equity 17,450
Total $ 30,400
Total $ 30,400
All Gold Mining
Current assets $ 2,920
Current liabilities $ 2,620
Other assets 1,380
Long-term debt 0
Net fixed assets 6,110
Equity 7,790
Total $ 10,410
Total $ 10,410
Construct the balance sheet for the new corporation if the merger is treated as a purchase for accounting purposes. The market value of All Gold Mining's fixed assets is $7,510; the market values for current and other assets are the same as the book values. Assume that Silver Enterprises issues $14,660 in new long-term dept to finance the acquisition.
Answer:
Silver Enterprises Post Merger Balance Sheet
Current Assets 12,920 Current liabilities 10,460
Other Asset 4,480 Long-term debt 19,770
Net Fixed Asset 24,810 Equity 17,450
Goodwill 5,470
$47,880 $47,680
Explanation:
Current assets = 10,000 + 2,920 = 12,920
Other assets = 3,100 + 1,380 = 4,480
Current liabilities = 7,840 + 2,620 = 10,460
Net fixed assets = 17,300 + 7,510= 24,810
Long-term debt = 5,110 + 14,660 = 19,770
Equity = $17,450

Management is considering a plant expansion program for the following year that will permit an increase of $3,760,000 in yearly sales. The expansion will increase fixed costs by $1,800,000 but will not affect the relationship between sales and variable costs.
Required:
1. Determine the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.
Total variable costs $_____
Total fixed costs $_____
2. Determine (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year.
Unit variable cost $_____
Unit contribution margin $_____
3. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year.
4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year.
5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year.
6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant.
7. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the income or loss from operations be for the following year?
8. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?
a. In favor of the proposal because of the reduction in break-even point.
b. In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.
c. In favor of the proposal because of the increase in break-even point.
d. Reject the proposal because if future sales remain at the current level, the income from operations will increase.
e. Reject the proposal because the sales necessary to maintain the current income from operations would be below the current year sales.
Answer:
1. Determine the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.
Total variable costs = $17,500,000 + $3,000,000 + $1,500,000 = $22,000,000 Total fixed costs = $10,000,0002. Determine (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year.
Unit variable cost = $22,000,000 / 500,000 = $44 Unit contribution margin = $94 - $44 = $503. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year.
break even point = $10,000,000 / $50 = 200,000 units4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year.
break even point = $11,800,000 / $50 = 236,000 units5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year.
units = ($11,800,000 + $15,000,000) / $50 = 536,000 units6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant.
total units sold 500,000 + 40,000 = 540,000total contribution margin = 540,000 x $50 = $27,000,000operating income = $27,000,000 - $11,800,000 = $15,200,0007. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the income or loss from operations be for the following year?
operating income = (500,000 x $50) - $11,800,000 = $13,200,000represents a decrease of $15,000,000 - $13,200,000 = $1,800,0008. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?
b. In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.Pargo Company is preparing its master budget for 2020.

Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, is a leading international mining company of copper, gold, and molybdenum. Its revenues were over $16 billion with net income of nearly $2 billion in a recent year.
Assume that in February 2020, Freeport-McMoRan paid $800,000 for a mineral deposit in Indonesia. During March, it spent $70,000 in preparing the deposit for exploitation. It was estimated that 1,000,000 total cubic yards could be extracted economically. During 2020, 60,000 cubic yards were extracted. During January 2021, the company spent another $6,000 for additional developmental work that increased the estimated productive capacity of the mineral deposit.
Required:
a. Compute the acquisition cost of the deposit in 2020.
b. Compute depletion for 2020.
c. Compute the net book value of the deposit after payment of the January 2021 developmental costs.
Answer:
A. $ 870,000
B. $52,200
C. $823,800
Explanation:
a. Computation for acquisition cost.
Using this formula
Acquistion cost= 800,000 +70,000
Acquistion cost=$ 870,000
2. Computation for depletion
Depletion for 2020=
(870,000/1,000,000)*60,000
Depletion for 2020=0.87*60,000
Depletion for 2020= $52,200
3. Computation for the net book value
Net book value =$870,000 -$52,200 +$6,000
Net book value=$823,800
