Answer:
If company uses weighted average method, then equivalent unit of direct material = Units completed + units in ending WIP
= 33,000 + 13,700
= 46,700 units
If company uses FIFO method, then equivalant unit of direct material = Unit started and completed + Units in ending WIP
= 33,000 - 11,200 + 13,700
= 35,500 units
A manufacturer reports the following information below for its first three years in operation.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Income under variable costing $76,000 $109,000 $115,000
Beginning inventory (units) 0 800 500
Ending inventory (units) 800 500 0
Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit $8.00 $8.00 $8.00
Income for year 3 using absorption costing is:
a. $109,000
b. $117,000
c. $106,600
d. $115,000
e. $111,000
Answer:
e. $111,000
Explanation:
Absorption costing income for year 3 = Income under variable costing - {Beginning inventory (units) * Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit} + {Ending inventory (units) * Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit}
Absorption costing income for year 3 = 115,000 - (500*8) + (0*8)
= 115,000 - 4,000 + 0
= $111,000
Boxwood Company sells blankets for $30 each. The following was taken from the inventory records during May. The company had no beginning inventory on May 1. Date Blankets Units Cost May 03 Purchase 6 $14 10 Sale 4 17 Purchase 12 $16 20 Sale 4 23 Sale 3 30 Purchase 12 $18 Assuming that the company uses the perpetual inventory system, determine the ending inventory for the month of May using the LIFO inventory cost method.
Answer:
The ending inventory for the month of May using the LIFO inventory cost method is $324.
Explanation:
LIFO
LIFO method assumes that the last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer.
This means valuation of inventory will use the value of the earliest goods purchased.
Ending Inventory : 2 units × $14 = $28
5 units × $16 = $80
12 units × $18 = $216
Total = $324
Conclusion :
The ending inventory for the month of May using the LIFO inventory cost method is $324.
As the income of bus riders increased, the wages of bus drivers increased simultaneously. How does this affect the market for bus rides (inferior good)?
Answer:
The demand curve and supply curve will shift leftwards.
Explanation:
The increase in the income of riders will decrease the number of bus rides because there is an inverse relationship between income and inferior goods. Therefore, the demand curve for bus rides will shift leftwards. Moreover, the increase in wages is an input cost, therefore, the rise in input cost will shift the supply curve leftwards.
When the amount earned on a deposit has become part of the principal at the end of a specified time period the concept is called
Answer:
Compound interest
Explanation:
Compound interest is a method of measuring interest by which interest is applied to the principal amount over time. You not only earn interest on the principal amount but also collect interest on your interest.
This tends to happen because you save your interest, rather than withdraw it
Hence, the compound interest is the correct answer
You note the following yield curve in The Wall Street Journal. According to the unbiased expectations theory, what is the one-year forward rate for the period beginning two years from today, 3 f1? (LG 2-8) Maturity Yield One day 2.00% One year 5.50 Two years 6.50 Three years 9.00
Answer:
7.51%
Explanation:
According to the situation, The computation of one-year forward rate for the period beginning two years from today is shown below:-
[tex]_1R_2 = Two\ years\ rate = ((1 + One\ year\ rate)\times (1 +_2f_1)^\frac{1}{2} - 1[/tex]
[tex]_1R_2 = 0.065 = ((1 + 0.55)\times (1 +_2f_1)^\frac{1}{2} - 1[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{= 1.065^2}{= 1.055} - 1 = _2f_1 = 7.51%[/tex]
= 7.51%
Therefore for computing the one-year forward rate for the period beginning two years from today we simply applied the above formula.
Hence, the one year forward rate is 7.51%
Kaspar and Ludger, two unrelated calendar year corporations, have the following transactions for 2019: Kaspar Corporation Ludger Corporation Gross income from operations $180,000 $300,000 Expenses from operations $255,000 $310,000 Dividends received from domestic corporations (15% ownership) $100,000 $230,000 Taxable income before the dividends received deduction $25,000 $220,000
Determine the dividends received deduction for both companies.
Answer:
The dividends received deduction for Kaspar Corporation is $70,000, while the dividends received deduction for Ludger Corporation is $230,000.
Explanation:
Note that the data in the question are merged together but they are first sorted in the attached excel file before answering the question as follows:
The dividends received deduction refers a federal tax deduction that are enjoyed in the U.S. by some corporations that receives dividends from related entities.
Based on the general rule for dividends received deduction, if the ownership by the company receiving the dividend in the company paying the dividend is less than 20%, the dividends received deduction is the 70% of the dividend received.
Since both Kaspar and Ludger have just 15% ownership which is less than 20% in domestic corporation from which they received dividends, their dividends received deduction can therefore be determined using the following formula:
Dividend received deduction = Dividend received * 70% .............. (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Kaspar's dividend received deduction = $100,000 * 70% = $70,000
Ludger's dividend received deduction = $230,000 * 70% = $161,000
Therefore, the dividends received deduction for Kaspar Corporation is $70,000, while the dividends received deduction for Ludger Corporation is $230,000.
Which of the following is not an important element of the political/legal segment of the general environment?
a) tort reform
b) genetic engineering
c) Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
d) deregulation of utilities and other industries
Answer: genetic engineering
Explanation:
Tort reform has to do with the ideas that are out in place so as to change laws regarding civil justice system in order for tort litigation to be decreased.
Americans with Disabilities Act was put in place to ensure that people that have disabilities are not discriminated. Also, deregulation is used to increase competition which will lead to greater efficiency, lower costs and also lower prices for good and services. All the above are political/legal segment of the general environment.
Genetic engineering simply means using biotechnology to manipulate the gene of an of an organism. This is not part of the legal or political segment.
Assuming that ATCHULO Company Ltd is committed to the current design, how would you improve it?
Answer:
Atchulo company should focus on its income centers rather than the whole organization. The company has limited itself to only domestic shipments. It has not considered the international shipment where profit margin can be high and company can benefit from expanding its operations. Also all the cost related to the travelling of shipment to and from the hub is charged to the hub and terminals does not bears the cost.
Explanation:
The revenue for the different terminals and hub is divided so the cost should also be allocated to the respective activities. If the hub is set as cost bearing center then there will no profit to the hub and terminals cost will be reduced and they will enjoy high profit.
Le Sun's has sales of $3,000, total assets of $2,500, and a profit margin of 5%. The firm has an equity multiplier of 2.5. What is the return on equity?
Answer:
Le Sun's return on equity is 15%
Explanation:
Assets turnover ratio = Net sales / Total fixed assets = $3,000 / $2,500 = 1.2 times
Return on Asset = Profit margin * Total assets turnover
ROA= 5% * 1.2 times
ROA = 6%
Return on Equity= ROA * Equity multiplier
ROE= 6% * 2.5
ROE= 15%
Le Sun's return on equity is 15%
A fire has destroyed a large percentage of the financial records of the Excandesco Company. You have the task of piecing together information in order to release a financial report. You have found the return on equity to be 14.9 percent. Sales were $1,750,000, the total debt ratio was .33, and total debt was $651,000.
What is the return on assets (ROA)? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Return on assets __%
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
For computing the return on assets we have to do the following calculations:
As we know that
Total debt ratio = Total debt ÷ Total assets
0.33 = $651,000 ÷ Total assets
So,
Total assets = $1,972,727.27
Now the total equity is
Total assets = Total debt + Total Equity
$1,972,727.27 = $651,000 + Equity
So,
Equity = $1,321,727.27
Now
ROE = Net income ÷ Equity
0.1490 = Net income ÷ $1,321,727.27
Net income = $196,937
So,
ROA = Net income ÷ Total assets
= $196,937 ÷ $1,972,727.27
= 9.98%
= 10%

Winkle Corporation uses the FIFO method in its process costing system. Beginning inventory in the mixing processing center consisted of 5,000 unites, 90% complete with respect to conversion costs. Ending work in process inventory consisted of 2,000 units, 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. If 10,000 units were transferred to the next processing center during the period, how many would the equivalent units for conversion costs be?
a. 10,000 units
b. 12,200 units
c. 12,000 units
d. 6,700 units
Answer:
d. 6,700 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units for conversion cost by using the FIFO method is shown below:
= Beginning inventory units × remaining percentage + units started and completed + ending inventory units × completion percentage
= 5,000 × 10% + (10,000 - 5,000) + 2,000 × 60%
= 500 + 5,000 + 1,200
= 6,700 units

Explanation:
You need to borrow money and you are considering two loans. The terms of the two loans are equivalent with the exception of the interest rates. Loan A offers a stated rate of 3.125% compounded monthly. Loan B offers a stated rate of 3.15% compounded semi-annually. What are the effective annual rates for the loans? Which one do you prefer
Answer:
For Loan A = 3.170%
For Loan B = 3.174%
Loan B has a higher effective annual rate.
Explanation:
The computation of effective annual rates for the loans is shown below:-
For Loan A
We will assume effective annual rate is a
Stated rate(r) = 3.125% compounded monthly
= Number of periods in an year n = 12
So,
(1 + a) = (1 + r ÷ n) × n
= a = (1+0.03125 ÷ 12) × 12 - 1
= 0.03170
or
= 3.170%
For Loan B
We will assume the effective annual rate is b
Stated rate (r) = 3.15% compounded semi annually
= Number of periods in an year n = 2
So
(1 + a) = (1 + r ÷ n) × n
= a = (1 + 0.0315 ÷ 2) × 2 - 1
= 0.03174
or
= 3.174%
From the above calculation we can see that Loan B, is greater than Loan A and has a higher effective annual rate.
Suppose that General Motors Acceptance Corporation issued a bond with 10 years until maturity, a face value of $ 1 comma 000, and a coupon rate of 7.7 % (annual payments). The yield to maturity on this bond when it was issued was 6.3 %. What was the price of this bond when it was issued? When it was issued, the price of the bond was $ nothing. (Round to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
The price of the bond when it was issued was $1101.59
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms.
Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 0.077 = $77
Total periods (n)= 10
r = 6.3%
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 77 * [( 1 - (1+0.063)^-10) / 0.063] + 1000 / (1+0.063)^10
Bond Price = $1101.592357 rounded off to $1101.59
The price of the bond when it was issued was $1101.59
Assume that there is an autonomous increase in investment spending of $20 billion and the MPC is given as 0.4, and assuming taxes, imports, and savings are all equal and no leakages:
Answer:
a. 1.67
b. $33.4 billion
c. A larger MPC
Explanation:
a. The Spending Multiplier is used to calculate how much an Economy increases as a result of an extra dollar being put into it and can be calculated by using the following formula;
= 1 / ( 1 - MPC)
= 1/ ( 1 - 0.4
= 1.67
b. Total Change in GDP = Amount invested * Spending Multiplier
= 20 * 1.67
= $33.4 billion.
c. An Economy is helped when it's GDP increases. A higher Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) will help it more in that case because from the formula, a larger MPC would reduce the divisor of 1 resulting in a larger Spending Multiplier which will increase the GDP more per dollar.
To explain further, the MPC measures how much of an extra dollar that people in the Economy spend, if the MPC is higher it means they spend more which will contribute to a rise in Consumption which is part of GDP.
When unemployment is high, government policymakers might decide to do which of the following?
a. Decrease the amount of funds in the economy available for loans
b. Decrease government spending on goods and services
c. Increase government spending on goods and services
d. Raise taxes
Answer:
Option C is correct.
Explanation:
The option is C, “Increase government spending on goods and services” is correct because the spending by the government will create new employment opportunities. Therefore, this will decrease unemployment. However, if the government decreases the loan funds in the economy, decreases the spending on goods and services, and rises the taxes then it will raise unemployment in the economy.
In the case when the unemoloyment is high, the government policymakers should increase the government spending on the goods and services.
The following information should be considered:
The spending by the government developed the new employment opportunities.Due to this, the unemployment should decreased.In the case when the government reduced the loan funds so it reduced the spending on goods & services.Learn more: brainly.com/question/17429689
The learning curve is:_______
a. Really no different from a marginal cost curve.
b. Calculates average cost at a particular point in time.
c. Shows the decrease in unit cost as more of the same product is produced over time.
d. None of the above.
Answer:
Option C, Shows the decrease in unit cost as more of the same product is produced over time, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option C is the correct answer because the learning curve shows the relationship between the cost of the production and output over the time period. Moreover, this curve shows the cost savings when more output is produced over time. The same can be seen in option C that the cost decreases when output rises which means there is a cost-saving.

Sufra Corporation is planning to sell 150,000 units for $2.90 per unit and will break even at this level of sales. Fixed expenses will be $93,000. What are the company's variable expenses per unit
Answer:
$2.28
Explanation:
Breakeven point is the number of units produced and sold at which net income is equal to zero.
Breakeven = F / P - V
F = fixed
P = price
V = variable cost
150,000 = $93,000 / $2.90 - V
Multiply both sides of the equation by $2.90 - V
= ($2.90 - V)150,000 = $93,000
$435,000 - 150,000V = $93,000
V = $2.28

A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 5 workers, who together produced an average of 100 carts per hour. Workers receive $20 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $11 per hour while output increased by 5 carts per hour.
Required:
a. Compute the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment. (Round to 4 decimal places)
b. Compute the % growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment. (Round to 2 decimal places)
Answer:
a. The multifactor productivity(MFP)Prior to buying the new equipment=0.71 carts
b. The % growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment=12.81%
Explanation:
a. In order to calculate the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment we would have to make the following calculation:
multifactor productivity(MFP)Prior to buying the new equipment=Carts produced / [(Number of workers x Worker wage) + Equipment cost)
According to given data we have the following:
Carts produced=100 per hour
(Number of workers= 5
Worker wage=$20
Equipment cost=$40
Therefore, multifactor productivity(MFP)Prior to buying the new equipment=100 / [(5 x $20) + $40
multifactor productivity(MFP)Prior to buying the new equipment=0.71 carts
b. In order to calculate the % growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment we would have to make the following calculation:
% growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment=(New productivity - Old productivity) / Old productivity] x 100
multifactor productivity(MFP after buying the new equipment=105 / [(4 x $20) + $51
multifactor productivity(MFP after buying the new equipment=0.801
Therefore, % growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment=0.801 - 0.71) / 0.71] x 100
% growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment=12.81%

Item 35Item 35 You expect to receive $4,100 upon your graduation and will invest your windfall at an interest rate of 0.63 percent per quarter until the account is worth $5,500. How many years do you have to wait until you reach your target account value
Answer:
It will take 11.7 years to reach the objective
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
PV= $4,100
FV= $5,500
i= 0.0063
n= ?
To calculate the time required to reach the future value, we need to use the following formula:
n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)
n= ln(5,500/4,100) / ln(1.0063)
n= 46.78
in years= 46.78/4= 11.70
It will take 11.7 years to reach the objective
Suppose Alex owns a business making quilts that generates $7,000 a month in revenue. Each month, Alex spends $1,500 on fabric and other sewing materials, and he pays his two employees a combined total of $4,000 per month (they each earn $2,000). Alex makes his quilts in a workshop he has set up in his basement. If Alex did not own the quilt business, he would work as a yoga instructor earning $2,300 per month, and he would use the basement as a TV room, an option he would value at $40 per month. a. What is Alex's accounting profit
Answer:
Alex's accounting profit is calculated as follows:
Revenue from quilts = $7,000
Materials costs (1,500)
Labor costs (4,000)
Accounting profit $1,500
Explanation:
Alex's accounting profit is different from the profit when calculated from the economist's point of view. The economist would include the opportunity costs of lost earnings as a yoga instructor of $2,300 per month and the monthly rental value of $40 for the TV room in the monthly cost. These are not considered in arriving at the accounting profit. Accounting profit does not include opportunity costs. It only includes the actual costs of goods sold or produced. And it is not the costs that were paid for in cash that accounting profit considers. All related costs whether paid for in cash or not, provided they are incurred in generating the revenue are included in accordance with the accrual concept and the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles.
