Answer:
Total equivalent units= 60,300
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 5,000 units
An additional 68,500 units were transferred in from the prior department.
There were 33,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Assembly Department that were 60% complete concerning conversion costs.
We need to calculate the number of conversion units.
We will use the following structure:
Beginning WIP= 5,000
Transferred-in= 68,500
Total= 73,500
Ending WIP= (33,000)
Complete units= 40,500
The calculation for completion WIP:
ending wip*completion of WIP
33,000*0.6= 19,800
Total equivalent units= 40,500 + 19,800= 60,300
The following information for the past year for the Blaine Corporation has been provided:Fixed costs:Manufacturing$ 125, 000$125,000Marketing24,00024,000Administrative20,00020,000Variable costs: Manufacturing $ 110,000$110,000 Marketing 30,00030,000 Administrative 34,00034,000 During the year, the company produced and sold 60,00060,000 units of product at a selling price of $ 12.40$12.40 per unit. There was no beginning inventory of the product at the beginning of the year.What is the contribution margin ratio for Blaine Corporation (round to 1 decimal)?A. 70.470.4 %B. 53.953.9 %C. 22.722.7 %D. 76.676.6 %
Answer:
D. 76.6 %
Explanation:
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100
First Calculate the Contribution
Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs
= (60,000 units × $ 12.40) - ($110,000+$30,000+$34,000)
= $744,000 - $174,000
= $570,000
Then Calculate Contribution Margin Ratio
Contribution Margin Ratio = $570,000 / $744,000 × 100
= 76.61290
= 76.6 % ( 1 decimal)
Lower of Cost or Market Black Corporation uses the LIFO cost flow assumption. Each unit of its inventory has a net realizable value of $300, a normal profit margin of $35, and a current replacement cost of $250. Determine the amount per unit that should be used as the market value to apply the lower of cost or market rule to determine Black’s ending inventory.
Answer:
$265
Explanation:
The computation of Net realizable value-normal profit margin by using the lower of cost or market rule is shown below:-
Amount per unit = Net realizable value or Ceiling - Normal profit margin
= $300 - $35
= $265
Therefore for computing the amount per unit we simply applied the above formula i.e by deducting the normal profit margin from the net realizable value so that the amount per unit could come
Six years ago, James Corporation sold a $100 million bond issue to expand its facilities. Each debenture has a $1,000 par value, an original maturity of 20 years (there are now 14 years left to maturity), and an annual coupon rate of 11.5% with semiannual payments. If you require a 14% return, what price would you pay today for a James bond?
Answer:
Price of Bonds=$848.286
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for James Corporation can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r
A- semiannual interest payment, n-number of periods, r- semi annul yield
A-semi- annul interest payment:
=11.5%× 1,000× 1/2 = 75
r-semi-Annual yield = 14%/2 = 7%
n-Maturity period =1 4 × 2= 28
PV of interest payment:
=57.5 × (1- (1+0.07)^(-28)/0.07)
= 697.88
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.07)^(-28) = 150.40
Step 3
Price of bond
=697.88 + 150.40
=$848.286

A company purchased a computer system at a cost of $25,000. The estimated useful life is 8 years, and the estimated residual value is $6,000. Assuming the company uses the double-declining-balance method, what is the depreciation expense for the second year
Answer:
$4,687.50
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense of the second year using the double-declining method is shown below:
First we have to determine the depreciation rate which is given below:
= One ÷ useful life
= 1 ÷ 4
= 12.5%
Now the rate is double So, 25%
In year 1, the original cost is $25,000, so the depreciation is $6,250 after applying the 25% depreciation rate
And, in year 2, the ($25,000 - $6,250) × 25% = $4,687.50

An investor has been making payments into a variable annuity for the last 20 years. The investor decides to annuitize and selects a straight-life payout. Which two of the following statements are TRUE?
I. the investment risk is assumed by the insurance company
II. the investment risk is assumed by the customer
III. the amount of the payment to the customer is guaranteed by the insurance company
IV. the amount of the payment to the customer is not guaranteed
a. I and III
b. I and IV
c. II and III
d. II and IV
Answer:
d. II and IV.
Explanation:
Since the investor has been making payments into a variable annuity for the last 20 years and decides to annuitize and selects a straight-life payout. The following statements would be true;
a. the investment risk is assumed by the customer.
b. the amount of the payment to the customer is not guaranteed.
An annuity is an agreement between an investor (contract owner) and an insurance company, where he or she gives a lump-sum of money to the insurer and in return receives regular disbursements, either immediately or some time in the future. It offers the following covers, legacy planning, primary protection, healthcare costs, lifetime income etc.
Annuities are generally classified into two (2) categories mainly; Fixed and Variable annuities.
Under the variable annuity, the investment risk is assumed by the customer (investor) unlike what is obtainable in the fixed annuity.
Ultimately, the performance of the separate account impacts the amount of the payment. Thus, the payment might decrease, increase, or even remain the same since the amount of the payment to the customer (investor) isn't guaranteed.

Units were left over from the previous year.
The cost of goods sold is always less under variable costing than under absorption costing.
Sales exceeded production so some of the fixed manufacturing overhead of the period was released from inventories under absorption costing.
Answer:
Requirement 2
a) Net Operating Income (Loss) for year 1 under absorption costing = 110,600
b) Net Operating Income (Loss) for year 2 under absorption costing = 257,600
c) Net Operating Income (Loss) for year 1 under variable costing = 238,200
d) Net Operating Income (Loss) for year 2 under variable costing = 385,200
e) The cost of goods sold is always less under variable costing than under absorption costing.
Explanation:
a) Absorption Costing, also called full absorption costing, capture all costs associated with manufacturing a particular product, such that the direct and indirect costs, such as direct materials, direct labor, rent, and insurance, are fully accounted for using this managerial accounting method.
b) Variable Costing is a managerial accounting technique that assigns variable costs to inventory, so that all period (fixed overhead) costs are charged to expenses in the period incurred, while only direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead costs are assigned to inventory.
Production estimates for July are as follows:
Estimated inventory (units), July 1 725
Desired inventory (units), July 31 1, 200
Expected sales volume (units), July 7,500
For each unit produced four hours of direct labor is required. The labor rate per hour is $15. The number of direct labor hours required for July production is:_________
Answer:
31,900
Explanation:
For the computation of the number of direct labor hours required for July production first we need to find out the production in units which is shown below:-
Production in units = Expected sales in Units + Ending Inventory - Beginning inventory
= 7,500 + 1,200 - 725
= 7,975
Total direct labor hours required = Production in units × Hours per unit
= 7,975 × 4
= 31,900
We simply applied the above formulas
On December 31, Strike Company has decided to sell one of its batting cages. The initial cost of the equipment was $203,433.00 with an accumulated depreciation of $183,089.70. Depreciation has been taken up to the end of the year. The company found a company that is willing to buy the equipment for $18,308.97. What is the amount of the gain or loss on this transaction
Answer:
loss= $2,035.33
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $203,433.00
Accumulated depreciation= $183,089.70.
The company found a company that is willing to buy the equipment for $18,308.97.
The gain or loss from selling an asset depends on the book value. If the selling price is higher than the book value, the company gain from the sale.
Book value= purchasing price - accumulated depreciation
Book value= 203,433 - 183,089.7= 20,343.3
Gain/loss= 18,307.97 - 20,343.3= $2,035.33 loss
Mike has spent $600 purchasing and repairing an old fishing boat, which he expects to sell for $800. Mike discovers, that, in addition to the $600 he has already spent, he needs to make an additional repair, which will cost another $300 in order to make the boat worth $800 to potential buyers. He can sell the boat as is now for $300. What should he do
Answer:
Mike should complete the repairs and sell off the boat for $800
Explanation:
Mike has already spent $600 purchasing and repairing the boat. He still needs to make an additional repair of $300. This means the cost price of the boat will be:
Cost price = $600 + $300 = $900
Selling price = $800
His loss would be:
$900 - $800 = $100
But without making the additional repair, the boat's worth is $300. This means that
Cost price = $600
Selling price = $300
His loss would be:
$600 - $300 = $300
From the above calculations, if the additional repair is done, Mike's loss would be lesser.
Therefore, the best option Mike should take is to complete the repairs and sell off the boat for $800
Garden Corporation uses cost-plus pricing with a 30% mark-up. The company is currently selling 12,000 units at $21.45 per unit. Each unit has a variable cost of $11.50. In addition, the company incurs $60,000 in fixed costs annually. If demand falls to 10,000 units, how much will the company have to charge per unit in order to earn the same annual profit
Answer:
$23.44
Explanation:
The computation of profit charge per unit for earning same annual profit is shown below:
Given that
No of Units Sold = 12,000
Sale Price of each Unit = $21.45
Variable Cost = 11.50
So,
Contribution Per Unit is
= Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit
= $21.45 - $11.50
= $9.95
So,
Total Contribution is
= 12,000 units × $9.95
= $119,400
And,
Fixed Costs for the year is $60,000
So, the Profit for the year is
= Contribution margin - fixed cost
= $119,400 - $60,000
= $59,400
Now If the demand for the product falls to 10,000 Unit
So we assume Number of units expected to be sold is10,000
Since Variable cost Per Unit is 11.50
So, the Total Variable Cost is
= 10,000 units × $11.50
= $115,000
And,
Fixed Cost per annum $60,000
Expected Profit $59,400
So, the total amount is
= $115,000 + $60,000 + $59,400
= $234,400
So, the price per unit charged is
= $234,400 ÷ 10,000 units
= $23.44
XYZ Company makes 400 widgets. The variable costs are $35.60 per unit and fixed costs are $30.00 per unit; however, $21.40 in fixed costs per unit is unavoidable. What is the effect on net income if the company instead buys the widgets from an outside supplier for $44.00 per unit?
Answer:
increase in income of $80
Explanation:
Prepare an Analysis of Costs and Savings if the Company buys from Outside Supplier.
Note : The fixed costs per unit at are unavoidable are irrelevant and disregarded in this decision.
Analysis of Costs and Savings
Purchase Price (400 widgets × $44.00) = ($17,600)
Savings :
Variable Costs ($35.60 × 400 widgets) = $14,240
Fixed Cost ( $8.60 × 400 widgets) = $3,440
Net Income effect = $80
Conclusion :
The effect on net income if the company instead buys the widgets is an increase in income of $80

The company pays a $403 annual fee plus $11 per tax return for a license to use Mega Tax software.
1a. What is the company's total annual cost for the Mega Tax software, if 332 returns are filed?
b. If 424 returns are filed?
c. If 522 returns are filed?
2a. What is the company's cost per return for the Mega Tax software, if 332 returns are filed?
b. If 424 returns are filed?
c. If 522 returns are filed?
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of the total annual cost in each case is shown below:
Total annual cost = Annual fee + license per tax return × number of returns filed
a. For 332 returns
= $403 + $11 × $332
= $403 + $3,652
= $4,055
b. For 424 returns
= $403 + $11 × $424
= $403 + $4,664
= $5,067
c. For 522 returns
= $403 + $11 × $522
= $403 + $5,742
= $6,145
2. Now the cost per return is
Cost per return = Total annual cost ÷ number of returns filed
a. For 332 returns
= $4,055 ÷ 332 retunrs
= $12.21
b. For 424 returns
= $5,067 ÷ 424 returns
= $11.95
c. . For 522 returns
= $6,145 ÷ 522 returns
= $11.77

Suppose you sold a futures contract on gold 3 months ago when the futures price was $1,350 per ounce. Each contract is on 100 ounces of gold. The contract is closed out today. The current futures price is $1,340.
Part a. What was your position?
Part b. What was the buyer’s position?
Part c. Calculate your loss/gain on the contract
Answer: The answers are provided below
Explanation:
a. What was your position?
My position will be the difference between the past future price when I sold the good and the current future price which is then multiplied by the contract size. This will be:
= ($1,350 - $1,340) × 100
= $10 × 100
My position = $1,000
b. What was the buyer’s position?
The buyer's position will be the opposite of mine. This will be:
= ($1,340 - $1,350) × 100
= -$10 × 100
= -$1000
Buyer's position = -$1,000
c. Calculate your loss/gain on the contract.
The profit will be the difference between the selling price and the closing price multiplied by the contract size. This will be:
= ($1,350 - $1,340) × 100
= $10 × 100
= $1,000
My profit = $1,000

A firm in a purely competitive industry has a typical cost structure. The normal rate of profit in the economy is 5 percent. This firm is earning $5.50 on every $50 invested by its founders.
a. What is its percentage rate of return? 11 percent.
b. Is the firm earning an economic profit? Yes If so, how large? 6 percent.
c. Will this industry see entry or exit? Entry
d. What will be the rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium?
Answer: The answers are given below
Explanation:
a. What is its percentage rate of return?
From the question, we are told that the firm is earning $5.50 on every $50 invested by its founders. The percentage of return will now be:
= $5.50/$50 × 100%
= 0.11 × 100%
= 11%
b. Is the firm earning an economic profit? If so, how large?
The economic profit will be the difference that exists between the percentage of return which is 11% and the normal rate of profit which is 5%. This will be:
= 11% - 5%
= 6%
The firm is earning economic profit of 6%.
c. Will this industry see entry or exit?
There will be entry into the industry. This is because the percentage of return which is 11% is greater than the normal rate of profit which is 5%.
d. What will be the rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium?
The rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium will be 5% which is the normal rate of profit in the economy.

You are thinking of purchasing a stock that currently sells for= $50
The expected price of the stock =$45
Dividend expected to be paid =$2
Risk free rate = 5%
Market return = 10%
Stock (beta) = 0.85
We will now find the holding period return of the stock which is given below:
The formula for calculating the holding period return of a stock is given as,
= The Expected price in a year + Dividend earned during the year – Purchase Price / Purchase Price
We recall that:
The Purchase Price = $ 50
Expected price in a year = $ 45
Dividend earned during the year = $ 2
Now,
By Applying the above values in the formula we have the holding period return of the stock as :
= [45 + 2 – 50] / 50
= - 3 / 50
= - 0.0600 = - 6.00 %
= - 6.0 % ( when rounded off to one decimal place )
Therefore, the Holding period return of the stock is - 6 % or - 6.0%
Firm A's demand for a product is 15 units per month. Its supplier charges an ordering cost of $5 per order and $10 per unit with a 10% discount for orders of 15 units or higher. Firm A incurs a 25% annual holding cost. What is Firm A's annual ordering costs if it orders at a quantity of 28 units?
Answer:
Annual ordering cost=$32.142
Explanation:
Annual ordering cost = Annual demand/order quantity × ordering cost per order
Annual demand = 15 × 12 = 180 units
Kindly note that there are 12 months in year.
Annual Ordering cost = 180/28 × $5= $32.142
Annual ordering cost=$32.142
Assume that TarMart purchased equipment at the beginning of fiscal year 2016 for $480,000 cash. The equipment had an estimated useful life of 8 years and a residual value of $30,000.
1. What would depreciation expense be for year 3 under the straight-line method?
2. What would depreciation expense be for year 3 under the double-declining balance method?
3. What is the first year in which depreciation expense under the straight-line method is higher than under the declining balance method?
4. Assume TarMart uses the straight-line depreciation method for its equipment. Also assume that at fiscal year-end 2020, TarMart sold the equipment purchased at the beginning of fiscal year 2016 for $200,000 cash. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the equipment at year-end 2020.
Answer:
1. What would depreciation expense be for year 3 under the straight-line method?
= ($480,000 - $30,000) / 8 = $56,250
same depreciation expense for every year
2. What would depreciation expense be for year 3 under the double-declining balance method?
depreciation year 1 = 2 x 1/8 x $480,000 = $120,000
depreciation year 2 = 2 x 1/8 x $360,000 = $90,000
depreciation year 3 = 2 x 1/8 x $270,000 = $67,500
3. What is the first year in which depreciation expense under the straight-line method is higher than under the declining balance method?
under double declining method
depreciation year 4 = 2 x 1/8 x $202,500 = $50,625
In year 4, depreciation expense wil be higher using the straight line method.
4. Assume TarMart uses the straight-line depreciation method for its equipment. Also assume that at fiscal year-end 2020, TarMart sold the equipment purchased at the beginning of fiscal year 2016 for $200,000 cash. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the equipment at year-end 2020.

Given
Cost of Land = $880,000
Return = 15%
Lease = $200000
Required to the opportunity cost =?
opportunity cost = cost of land x return rate
opportunity cost = 880,000 x 15 = $132,000

Cretically analyse the difference and the point of convergence between floor inspection and functional inspection
Answer and Explanation:
The connection between Floor and Function Inspection is that these two techniques are used to eliminate and identify defective raw materials prior to the development of the same. Quality is the key priority for both processes, where standards are reviewed and evaluated to ensure that the operation continues correctly.
The distinction between the two is that in Floor Inspection the system inspects the material in process doe the machine or at the time of production to ensure that each and every machine or floor is working effectively. It is to make share the material processing costs don't go out or it could easily be found by hand and defect.
The Functional Inspection, on the other hand, will have the key feature tested which the product is supposed to perform. For instance, if the same has the right speed and output, the electric motor could be tested up. It doesn't inform us about the variability throughout all parts but gives us an overall view of the satisfaction that comes from investigating the same commodity.
