Answer:
b. $480,000
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, first we need to calculate the manufacturing overhead rate.
Manufacturing overhead rate = Total estimated manufacturing overhead / Total amount of allocation base
Manufacturing overhead rate = $600,000 / 25,000 = $24
Therefore, allocated manufacturing overhead
= Overhead rate × Actual hours
= $24 × 20,000
= $480,000

The following information is provided for Sandhill Company and Whispering Corporation. (in $ millions) Sandhill Company Whispering Corporation Net income 2022 $130 $445 Net sales 2022 1715 4640 Total assets 12/31/20 1010 2010 Total assets 12/31/21 1085 3070 Total assets 12/31/22 1150 4100 What is Sandhill's return on assets for 2022
Answer:
11.63%
Explanation:
Average assets = [Total assets 12/31/21 + Total assets 12/31/22] / 2
Average assets = [$1085 + $1150] / 2
Average assets = $2,235 / 2
Average assets = $1,117.50
Return on Assets = Net income / Average assets
Return on Assets = $130 / $1,117.50
Return on Assets = 0.1163311
Return on Assets = 11.63%
So therefore, Sandhill's return on assets for 2022 is 11.63%.
Ringmeup Inc. had net income of $129,300 for the year ended December 31, 2019. At the beginning of the year, 37,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. On May 1, an additional 15,000 shares were issued. On December 1, the company purchased 4,100 shares of its own common stock and held them as treasury stock until the end of the year. No other changes in common shares outstanding occurred during the year. During the year, Ringmeup paid the annual dividend on the 6,000 shares of 4.95%, $100 par value preferred stock that were outstanding the entire year. Required: Calculate basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$2.13 per share
Explanation:
The computation of the basic earnings per share is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
The Weighted average share is
= (37000 shares × 4 ÷ 12 + (37,000 + 15,000) shares × 7 ÷ 12 + (52,000 - 4,100) shares × 1 ÷ 12)
= 46,658 Shares
And, the Preferred dividend is
= 6,000 shares × $100 × 4.95%
= $29,700
Now EPS is
= (Net income - Preferred dividend) ÷ Weighted average share outstanding = ($129,300 - $29,700) ÷ 46,658
= $2.13 per share
Janet's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Miami that sells gluten-free pizzas. Janet's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the two ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Janet signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the two ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Janet's kitchen cannot fit more than two ovens, Janet cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run.
However, Janet's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Janet lets them know how many workers she needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are (Variable/Fixed) inputs, and the ovens are (Fixed/Variable) inputs.
Janet's daily production schedule is presented in the following table.

Hogan Industries had the following inventory transactions occur during 2017: Units Cost/unit Feb. 1, 2017 Purchase 108 $45 Mar. 14, 2017 Purchase 186 $47 May 1, 2017 Purchase 132 $49 The company sold 306 units at $63 each and has a tax rate of 30%. Assuming that a periodic inventory system is used, and operating expenses of $1800, what is the company's after-tax income using LIFO
Answer: $1,982.40
Explanation:
The company's after-tax income using LIFO will be:
Sales = 306 × $63 = $19,278
Less: Cost of Goods Sold
132 × $49 = $6,468
174 × $47 = $8,178
Coat if goods sold = $14,646
Gross Profit = $19,278 - $14,646 = $4,632
Less: Operating Expense = $1,800
Income Before Tax = $2,832
Less: Tax = 30% × $2832 = $849.60
Income after Tax = $1,982.40
Western Energy makes quarterly deposits into an account reserved for purchasing new equipment two years from now. The interest paid on the deposits is 12% per year, compounded monthly. Identify the interest period, compounding period, and compounding frequency in the interest period.
a. The interest period is ____________.
b. The compounding period is _______________ .
c. The compounding frequency is___________ .
Answer:
a. 2 years
b. 1 year
c. 12 times
Explanation:
Interest period is the duration of the deposit. It is the length of time the money would remain in deposit. This is 2 years according to the question
Compounding period = number of times interest would be paid. In the question, this is a year. So interest would be paid every year
The compounding frequency - it is the number of times the deposit would be compounded. It is 12 months
The future value of the deposit can be determined using this formula :
FV = P (1 + r/m)^nm
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
m = number of compounding

thus,
The company's working capital for Year 2 is $267,800.
To save money for his daughter's college tuition, Dan invests every quarter in an annuity that pays interest, compounded quarterly. Payments will be made at the end of each quarter. Find the total value of the annuity in years.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
To save money for his daughter's college tuition, Dan invests $269 every quarter in an annuity that pays 6.9% interest, compounded quarterly. Payments will be made at the end of each quarter. Find the total value of the annuity in 20 years.
Solution :
Given :
Annuity = $ 269
Compounded quarterly for 20 years, so N = 4 x 20 = 80
Rate of interest = [tex]$\frac{6.90 \%}{4}$[/tex]
= 1.725 %
We know Future value of the annuity is given by :
[tex]$FV= \text{Annuity} \times \frac{(1+R)^{N-1}}{R}$[/tex]
[tex]$FV= \text{269} \times \frac{(1+1.725\%)^{80-1}}{1.725\%}$[/tex]
[tex]$=269 \times 169.762413$[/tex]
= 45666.09
So the total value of he annuity is $45,666.09
There is a debate about whether sterile hypodermic needles should be passed out free of charge in cities with high drug use,. Proponents argue that doing so well reduce the incidence of diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, that are often spread by needle sharing among drug users. Oppenents believe that doing so will encourage more drug use by reducing the risks of this behaviour. As an economist asked, to assess the policy, you must know the following :
i) How responsive the spread of diseases like HIV/AIDS is to the price sterile needles and
ii) How responsive drug use is to the price of sterile needles.
Assuming that you know these two things, use the concepts of price elasticityof demand for sterileneedle and the cross-price elasticity between drugs and sterile needles to answer the following questions.
a) In what circumstances do you believe this is a beneficial policy?
b) In what circumstances do you believe this is a bad policy?
Answer:
a) This will be a beneficial policy if the price elasticity of demand for sterile needles is elastic and the cross-price elasticity of demand between drugs and sterile needles is positive and high.
b) This is a bad policy if the price elasticity of demand for sterile needles is inelastic and the cross-price elasticity of demand between drugs and sterile needles is negative and high.
Explanation:
a) In what circumstances do you believe this is a beneficial policy?
This will be a beneficial policy if the price elasticity of demand for sterile needles is elastic and the cross-price elasticity of demand between drugs and sterile needles is positive and high.
The elastic price elasticity of demand for sterile needles implies that the quantity demanded for sterile needles is higher than the change in its price.
The positive cross-price elasticity of demand implies that both drugs and sterile needle are substitutes. Therefore, the quantity demanded of drugs falls as the price of sterile needle falls to zero.
b) In what circumstances do you believe this is a bad policy?
This is a bad policy if the price elasticity of demand for sterile needles is inelastic and the cross-price elasticity of demand between drugs and sterile needles is negative and high.
The inelastic price elasticity of demand for sterile needles implies that the quantity demanded for sterile needles is lower than the change in its price.
The negative cross-price elasticity of demand implies that both drugs and sterile needle are compliments. Therefore, the quantity demanded of drugs increases as the price of sterile needle falls to zero.

About 10 years ago, the POM Pomegranate Juice brand was created by a middle-aged couple in Nebraska. Theyâre business started small and then began to skyrocket after news spread of how yummy pomegranate juice is and also, how healthy is it (more antioxidants than any other juice out there!) Now, brands such as Nantucket Nectars, Ocean Spray, Minute Maid, and more have created their own pomegranate mixtures.
Required:
What has happened to the supply of pomegranate beverages as a result?
Answer:
OM Pomegranate Juice
The supply of pomegranate beverages has risen above demand, thereby causing market glut.
Explanation:
With many suppliers of pomegranate beverages, the quantity being supplied will outstrip demand. The immediate result is a glut in the market. This will lead to producing at less than full capacity as individual producers make efforts to sell their inventories. Workers may need to be laid off in order to meet the resulting economic situation.

Kartman Corporation makes a product with the following standard costs: Standard Quantity or HoursStandard Price or RateStandard Cost Per Unit Direct materials 6.5pounds$7.00per pound$45.50 Direct labor 0.6hours$24.00per hour$14.40 Variable overhead 0.6hours$4.00per hour$2.40 In June the company's budgeted production was 3,400 units but the actual production was 3,500 units. The company used 22,150 pounds of the direct material and 2,290 direct labor-hours to produce this output. During the month, the company purchased 25,400 pounds of the direct material at a cost of $170,180. The actual direct labor cost was $57,021 and the actual variable overhead cost was $8,931. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The variable overhead rate variance for June is: Select one: A. $210 F B. $229 U C. $210 U D. $229 F
Answer:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $229 favorable
Explanation:
eGiving the following information:
Variable overhead 0.6 hours $4.00per hour
The company used 2,290 direct labor-hours
The actual variable overhead cost was $8,931.
To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (4 - 3.9)*2,290
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $229 favorable
Actual rate= 8,931 / 2,290= $3.9

Suppose that you wish to hedge the exchange rate risk on a foreign receivable of 1,240,000 euros. You decide to do this with a long option whose underlying asset is the euro (I won't tell you whether it's a put or a call). If this option has a strike of $1.15/euro, a multiple of 10,000 euros, and a per-contract (i.e. per 10k euros) premium of $175, then what is the least number of dollars you could possibly expect to net from this hedged receivable
Answer: $1404300
Explanation:
The least number of dollars that one could possibly expect to net from this hedged receivable will be calculated thus:
Amount receivable = 1,240,000 euros
Contract size for put option = 10000
Therefore, the number of contract that can be purchased will be:
= 1240000 / 10000
= 124
The total cost of option will be:
= $175 × 124
= $21700
We then calculate the minimum dollars available which will be:
= 1240000 × 1.15
= $1426000
We then deduct the total cost of option to get the net dollar proceed which will be:
= $1426000 - $21700
= $1404300
Therefore, the the least number of dollars that is expected to net from this hedged receivable is $1404300.
The national lottery in the country of San Dayana is advertising on billboards in the poverty stricken, inner-cities of the country. "Buy your way out of here to America" Buy the 5 for 1 lottery tickets every Friday." Would you consider this an ethical marketing strategy? Why/Why not?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Would you consider this an ethical marketing strategy?
No. Of course not. It is not ethical. However, it is not illegal.
It cannot be considered ethical because this piece of advertisement is playing with the lack and necessity of the poor people of San Dayana.
The lottery advertisement is trying to be lucrative and benefit from the ignorance and poverty of the people of this poor country.
Once said that people are the ones who had the last word on the decision to buy or not to buy the lottery tickets. They know that the probabilities are minimum to win the big prize.

Dean has earned $70,750 annually for the past five years working as an architect for WCC Incorporated Under WCC's defined benefit plan (which uses a seven-year graded vesting schedule) employees earn a benefit equal to 3.5 percent of the average of their three highest annual salaries for every full year of service with WCC. Dean has worked for five full years for WCC and his vesting percentage is 60 percent. What is Dean's vested benefit (or annual retirement benefit he has earned so far)
Answer:
$7,429
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Dean's vested benefit
Using this formula
Vested benefit=Average salary for the prior three years×( 3.5% × 5 years of service)×Vesting percentage)
Let plug in the formula
Vested benefit=$70,750 ×( 3.5% × 5)× 60%
Vested benefit=$70,750 × 17.5%× 60%
Vested benefit=$7,428.75
Vested benefit=$7,429 (Approximately)
Therefore Dean's vested benefit is $7,429
MSI is considering outsourcing the production of the handheld control module used with some of its products. The company has received a bid from Monte Legend Co. (MLC) to produce 10,000 units of the module per year for $16 each. The following information pertains to MSI’s production of the control modules:
Direct materials $9
Direct labor $4
Variable manufacturing overhead $2
Fixed manufacturing overhead $3
Total cost per unit $18
MSI has determined that it could eliminate all variable costs if the control modules were produced externally, but none of the fixed overhead is avoidable. At this time, MSI has no specific use in mind for the space that is currently dedicated to the control module production.
Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the control module.
Answer:
If the company makes the units in-house, it will save $10,000.
Explanation:
The fixed costs will remain in both options. Therefore, the fixed costs are irrelevant to the decision-making process.
Buy:
Total cost= 10,000*16= $160,000
Make in house:
Total cost= 10,000*(9 + 4 + 2)= $150,000
If the company makes the units in-house, it will save $10,000.

Alpha Corporation has just paid its annual dividend and is looking forward to another successful year ahead. The company had free cash flow for the year just ended of $1 billion, all of which it just paid out to its shareholders as a dividend. Right now, shareholders do not believe that Alpha has any growth opportunities, so they expect the annual cash flow and dividend stream to remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. Alpha has 100 million 3 shares outstanding and a market capitalization of $10 billion. The company is entirely equity-financed. The capital market is efficient.
A) Alpha's CEO now proposes that the company skip its dividend one year from now and instead invest the entire amount of the coming year's $1 billion free cash flow in a project that management believes will generate a perpetual annual rate of return of 21%. The CEO further asserts that the new project has similar risk to the company's assets in place. If the company were to announce immediately its plans for the investment one year from now (financed by skipping next year's dividend) what do you think will happen to Alpha's stock price?
B) Some of Alpha's Board members are worried that shareholders are expecting a dividend next year and that announcing plans to skip next year's dividend will lower the stock price today. Suppose Alpha were to announce instead that it plans to pay its usual dividend one year from now and that it has no plans for any new investment at T-. What will happen to the stock price today?
C) Suppose Alpha settles on a compromise: Alpha announces today that it will invest in the new project one year from now, butwill simultaneously issue enough new shares at that time to enable it to pay the usual S10 dividend per share to its existing shareholders. What do you think will happen to Alpha's share price one year from now under this plan? What do you think will happen to Alpha's stock price today? Which of the three plans do you think Alpha's shareholders would prefer?
Answer:
(A) Alpha's stock price will fall.
(B) What will happen to the stock price today is that it will rise.
Explanation:
(C)
(i) Under the compromise plan and one year from now, Alpha's share price will fall, since Alpha will be desperate for new share holders.
(ii) Alpha's stock price today will rise, since the value of existing stocks will increase - that is, existing shareholders are assured of their usual $10 dividend plus extra dividend from the 21% estimated annual ROR on the intended project.
(iii) Which of the three plans would Alpha's shareholders prefer?
Regular-thinking shareholders would prefer Plan B. Patient shareholders would prefer Plan A, especially if they don't see many new shareholders in one year's time. Optimistic shareholders would prefer Plan C.
