Genesis Scents has two divisions: the Cologne Division and the Bottle Division. The Bottle Division produces containers that can be used by the Cologne Division. The Bottle Division's variable manufacturing cost is $2, shipping cost is $0.10, and the external sales price is $3. No shipping costs are incurred on sales to the Cologne Division, and the Cologne Division can purchase similar containers in the external market for $2.60. The Bottle Division has sufficient capacity to meet all external market demands in addition to meeting the demands of the Cologne Division. Using the general rule, the transfer price from the Bottle Division to the Cologne Division would be:
Answer:
Hence, the minimum transfer price = $2
Explanation:
Transfer price is the price at which goods are exchange between branches or divisions of the same group
Where a division is operating at the less than the existing capacity, to optimist the group profit, the minimum transfer price should be set as follows
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost
It is worthy of note that there is no opportunity cost associated with any transfer to the Cologne division because the Bottle division is currently having excess capacity- it can meets all demands both external and internal.
Therefore, any offering price equal to or above the variable manufacturing cost of $2 would be acceptable and optimize the group profit.
Hence, the minimum transfer price = $2
Problem 8-15 Nonconstant Growth [LO1] Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next nine years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth. The company will pay a dividend of $15 per share 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 6 percent per year thereafter. If the required return on this stock is 12 percent, what is the current share price
Answer:
$84.14
Explanation:
P9 = Nest dividend (D10) / Required rate (r) - Growth rate (g)
P9 = $14 / 12% - 6%
P9 = $14 / 0.06
P9 = $233.33
P0 = P9 / (1+Required rate of return)^9
P0 = $233.33/(1+0.12)^9
P0 = $233.33/2.7731
P0 = $84.1404926
P0 = $84.14
So, the current share price is $84.14
Statute of frauds is used as a defense to a lawsuit and not as an offense. For example, S owns a lot that B wishes to purchase. They enter into a verbal contract whereby B will deliver $6,000 at noon on Friday to S, and S will provide B with the deed to the property. If either party breaches the contract for the sale of the real estate lot and is sued by the other party, the defendant may raise statute of frauds as a defense, saying that there is nothing in writing or signed by the defendant.
Required:
What is the result?
Answer:
Since both parties can breach the contract without fearing any penalty as a result of doing it, its execution will depend on the good will of both parties. It will also require a coordinated action where B hands out the money at the same time they are receiving the deed. If both things do not occur simultaneously, for example, S promises to deliver the deed the next day or B promises to pay the next day, they will not do it. For example, B pays the $5,000 and S decides to increase the price to $10,000. Or S gives the deed and B says that the agreed price was $1,000.
During the annual Black Friday Sale, The OLX sold a pair of ski boots, regularly priced at $245.00, at a discount of 40%. The boots cost $96.00 and expenses are 26% of the regular selling price. For how much were the ski boots sold?
Answer: $147
Explanation:
First find what 40% of $245.00 is:
= 40% * 245
= $98.00
The boots are sold at a discount of 40%. This means that 40% - which is $98 - was deducted from the value.
The selling price is therefore:
= 245 - 98
= $147
An All-Pro defensive lineman is in contract negotiations. The team has offered the following salary structure: Time Salary 0 $ 5,700,000 1 $ 4,300,000 2 $ 4,800,000 3 $ 5,300,000 4 $ 6,700,000 5 $ 7,400,000 6 $ 8,200,000 All salaries are to be paid in lump sums. The player has asked you as his agent to renegotiate the terms. He wants a $9.2 million signing bonus payable today and a contract value increase of $1,200,000. He also wants an equal salary paid every three months, with the first paycheck three months from now. If the interest rate is 4.7 percent compounded daily, what is the amount of his quarterly check
Answer:
The amount of his quarterly check is $1,439,900.81.
Explanation:
Note: The data on the salary structure offered in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question as follows:
Time Salary
0 $ 5,700,000
1 $ 4,300,000
2 $ 4,800,000
3 $ 5,300,000
4 $ 6,700,000
5 $ 7,400,000
6 $ 8,200,000
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
The amount of his quarterly check can be calculated using the following 4 steps:
Step 1: Calculation of effective annual rate (EAR)
Note: There is a need to calculate this because the interest rate in the question is compounded daily.
The effective annual rate (EAR) can be calculated using the following formula:
EAR = ((1 + (i / n))^n) - 1 .............................(1)
Where;
i = Interest rate = 4.7%, or 0.047
n = Number of compounding days in a year = 365
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
EAR = ((1 + (0.047 / 365))^365) - 1
EAR = 0.0481188377107922, or 4.81188377107922%
Step 2: Calculation of present of the cash of the contract offer
PV of the cash flow of the contract offer = ($5,700,000 / (1 + EAR)^Time) + ($4,300,000 / (1 + EAR)^Time) + ($4,800,000 / (1 + EAR)^Time) + ($5,300,000 (1 + EAR)^Time) + ($6,700,000 / (1 + EAR)^Time) + ($7,400,000 / (1 + EAR)^Time) + ($8,200,000 / (1 + EAR)^Time)
PV of the cash flow of the contract offer = ($5,700,000 / (1 + 0.0481188377107922)^0) + ($4,300,000 / (1 + 0.0481188377107922)^1) + ($4,800,000 / (1 + 0.0481188377107922)^2) + ($5,300,000 (1 + 0.0481188377107922)^3) + ($6,700,000 / (1 + 0.0481188377107922)^4) + ($7,400,000 / (1 + 0.0481188377107922)^5) + ($8,200,000 / (1 + 0.0481188377107922)^6)
PV of the cash flow of the contract offer = $37,861,722.19
Step 3: Calculation of present of the new contract
PV of the new contract = PV of the cash flow of the contract offer - Signing bonus payable today + Contract value increase = $37,861,722.19 - $9,200,000 + $1,200,000 = $29,861,722.19
Step 4: Calculation of quarterly check
Since the first paycheck is three months from now, this can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (2)
Where;
PV = PV of the new contract = $29,861,722.19
P = Quarterly check = ?
r = Quarterly interest rate = EAR / Number of quarters in a year = 0.0481188377107922 / 4 = 0.012029709427698
n = number of quarters = number of years * Number of quarters in a year = 6 * 4 = 24
Substitute the values into equation (2) and solve for P, we have:
$29,861,722.19 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.012029709427698))^24) / 0.012029709427698)
$29,861,722.19 = P * 20.738735546182
P = $29,861,722.19 / 20.738735546182
P = $1,439,900.81
Therefore, the amount of his quarterly check is $1,439,900.81.

Year 3 Year 2 Year 1 Net sales $ 436,000 $ 367,000 $ 421,000 Accounts receivable, net (year-end) 43,900 41,700 38,400 (1) Compute its accounts receivable turnover for Year 2 and Year 3. (2) Assuming its competitor has a turnover of 15.3, is Raheem performing better or worse at collecting receivables than its competitor
Answer:
Year 2 receivable days = 8.8 times
Year 3 receivable days =9.9 times
Explanation:
Days sales receivables is the average length of time it takes a business to collect the amount owing in respect of credit sales transaction. The shorter the days, the better. If the receivable is computed in the number of times, the higher the better.
Receivable days = Average receivables /Credit sales × 365 days
Year 2 receivable days = 367000/41700× 365=8.8
Year 3 receivable days = 436,000/43900× 365=9.9
The receivable turnover of Raheem company is lower than that of the competitors, this implies that it takes the company a longer period to collects its receivables than its competitor. Hence, Raheem is less competitive
Year 2 receivable days = 8.8 times
Year 3 receivable days =9.9 times

Taxable temporary differences = Depreciation expense + Income from installment sales
= 116 + 60
= $176 million
Deductible tax differences = Estimated warranty expense + rent revenue collected in advance
= 36 + 36
= $72 million
Net deferred tax liability (asset) = (176 - 72) * 25%
= $26 million

Windsor, Inc. just began business and made the following four inventory purchases in June:
June 1 129 units $890 June 10 172 units 1340 June 15 172 units 1440 June 28 129 units 1140 $4810
A physical count of merchandise inventory (rounded to whole dollar) on June 30 reveals that there are 180 units on hand. The inventory method which results in the highest gross profit for June is:_______.
a. the FIFO method.
b. the LIFO method.
c. the average cost method.
d. not determinable.
Answer:
c. the average cost method.
Explanation:
Windsor INC. purchased inventory during the month of June as follows:
June 1 129 units at $890
June 10 172 units at $1340
June 15 172 units at $1440
June 28 129 units at $ 1140
and at the end of the period, there are 180 units on hand.
In order to get highest gross profit the closing sock should be the highest, accordingly the value of inventory at hand should as as follows under different method explain below:
Under FIFO method the inventory first enter into the enterprise is available for sale at first so the inventory of 180 units at end should be values at the last price mentioned in the question i.e $1140, therefore the value amounts to $1140*180 units=$205200
Under LIFO method, likewise the last entered inventory will be available for sale and the inventory at the end of period will be valued at the price at which the inventory first bought i.e $890, therefore the value amounts to 180 units*$890=$160200
Under Average cost method the effect of differential price is distributed over the quantity bough during a period so that the company remains in ineffective condition during the period from the price change
Average cost per unit= (129*$890 +172*$1340+ 172*$1440+129*$1140)/602 units
=$1229.29
and for the 180 units the value amounts to 180*$122.29=$221271.429
so, as per explanation given above, it is certain that the highest value will be in average cost method.
The correct option is - c. the average cost method.

Litton Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $1,250,000. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 40,000 hours. The machine hours for the month of April for all of the jobs were 4,780. If the actual factory overhead totaled $141,800, determine the over- or underapplied amount for the month.
Answer:
Overapplied overhead= $7,575
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,250,000 / 40,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $31.25 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 31.25*4,780
Allocated MOH= $149,375
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 141,800 - 149,375
Overapplied overhead= $7,575
