Answer:
9.54%
Explanation:
-0.021 = ($1,140 + D - $1,220) / $1,220
-$25.62 = -$80 + D
$54.38 = Dividend (semiannual)
current yield = annual dividends / current price
annual dividends = $54.38 x 2 = $108.76
current price = $1,140
current yield = $108.76 / $1,140 = 0.0954 = 9.54%

Elite Lawn & Plowing (EL&P) is a lawn and snow plowing service with both residential and commercial clients. The owner believes that the commercial sector has more growth opportunities and is considering dropping the residential service.
Twenty employees worked a total of 41,000 hours last year, 30,000 on residential jobs and 11,000 on commercial jobs. Wages were $16 per hour for all work done. Any materials used are included in overhead as supplies. All overhead is allocated on the basis of labor-hours worked, which is also the basis for customer charges. Because of increased competition for commercial accounts,EL&P can charge $60 per hour for residential work, but only $45 per hour for commercial work.
If overhead for the year was $205,000, what were the profits of the residential and commercial services using labor-hours as the allocation base?
Answer:
Results are below.
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= 205,000 / 41,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5 per direct labor hour
Now, we can calculate the profit of each service:
Residential:
Revenue= 30,000*60= 1,800,000
Direct labor costs= 30,000*16= (480,000)
Overhead= 5*30,000= (150,000)
Gross profit= $1,170,000
Commercial:
Revenue= 11,000*45= 495,000
Direct labor costs= 11,000*16= (176,000)
Overhead= 5*11,000= (55,000)
Gross profit= $264,000

In order to get hired as an assembly line specialist, the applicant will have to show that they can perform their task in less than 5 minutes after 1000 tries. During the interview, the applicant was asked to perform their future job five times. The applicant was able to complete the task in 10.8 minutes and the company was to estimate their learning curve to be 90%. Given this information, how much time will the applicant take to perform the task a 1000th time
Answer:
The Applicant will take 3.78 minutes to perform the task a 1000th time.
Explanation:
The Learning curve is the graphical representation that determines that how much time someone takes to learn a special skill.
The time on the 1,000th applicant can be calculated as follow
[tex]T_{1000}[/tex] = [tex]T_{1}[/tex] x [tex]1000^{((log LCR/log2)}[/tex]
Where
[tex]T_{1}[/tex] = 10.8 minutes
LCR = Learning Curve Rate = 90% = 0.90
[tex]T_{1000}[/tex] = 10.8 minutes
Placing values in the formula
[tex]T_{1000}[/tex] = 10.8 minutes x [tex]1000^{((log 0.90/log2)}[/tex]
[tex]T_{1000}[/tex] = 10.8 minutes x [tex]1000^{(-0.152003093)}[/tex]
[tex]T_{1000}[/tex] = 10.8 minutes x 0.349937689
[tex]T_{1000}[/tex] = 3.779327044 minutes
[tex]T_{1000}[/tex] = 3.78 minutes

This year Don and his son purchased real estate for an investment. The price of the property was $630,000, and the title named Don and his son as joint tenants with the right of survivorship. Don provided $358,000 of the purchase price and his son provided the remaining $272,000. Has Don made a taxable gift and, if so, in what amount
Answer:
$28,000
Explanation:
Calculation for Don taxable gift amount
Taxable gift amount=[$358,000 − ($630,000)/2] − $15,000
Taxable gift amount=[$358,000 −$315,000] − $15,000
Taxable gift amount=$43,000-$15,000
Taxable gift amount=$28,000
Therefore Don has made a taxable gift of the amount of $28,000
Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales data for DVD players are as follows: November 1 Inventory 52 units at $79 10 Sale 35 units 15 Purchase 27 units at $83 20 Sale 25 units 24 Sale 13 units 30 Purchase 39 units at $86 The business maintains a perpetual inventory system, costing by the first-in, first-out method.
Determine the cost of the goods sold for each sale and the inventory balance after each sale, presenting the data in the form illustrated.
Under FIFO, if units are in inventory at two different costs, enter the units with the LOWER unit cost first in the Cost of Goods Sold Unit Cost column and in the Inventory Unit Cost column and LOWER unit cost first in the Inventory.
Answer:
November 1 Inventory 52 units at $79
November 10 Sale 35 units
COGS = 35 x $79 = $2,765Inventory balance = 17 x $79 = $1,343November 15 Purchase 27 units at $83
November 20 Sale 25 units
COGS = (17 x $79) + (3 x $83) = $1,592Inventory balance = (24 x $83) = $1,992November 24 Sale 13 units
COGS = 13 x $83 = $1,079Inventory balance = 11 x $83 = $913November 30 Purchase 39 units at $86
Inventory balance = $913 + (39 x $86) = $4,267Lawn Chopper Company sells two types of lawn mowers. The first one is a basic lawn mower, which has variable costs of $50 and sells for $150. The second type is a riding tractor with variable costs of $500 and which sells for $1,500. The company has total fixed costs of $5,000,000. The sales mix for the company is three lawn mowers to one riding tractor. Your manager would like to know how many of each of the product the company must sell to break even.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Breakven even point is computed as
= Fixed costs / ( Sales price per unit - Variable costs per unit)
For basic lawn mower, Given that;
Fixed cost = $5,000,000
Sales price per unit = $150
Variable costs per unit = $50
BEP = $500,000 / ($150 - $50)
BEP = $500,000 / $100
BEP = 5,000 units
For Riding tractor, given that;
Fixed costs = $500,000
Sales price per unit = $1,500
Variable cost per unit = $500
BEP = $500,000 / ($1,500 - $500)
BEP = $500,000 / $1,000
BEP = 500 units
It therefore means that 5,000 units of basic Lawn mower must be sold to break even, while 500 units of riding tractor must be sold to break even.
Aggies Candle Factory has recently been awarded a new contract with a large retailor in Doylestown. Demand for the candles is 25,0000 which a larger order than the company has ever handled before. They have called a business strategy meeting to ensure success of this project.; the Operations Manager has presented two different manufacturing options for consideration by the board:
Option A is highly automated with fixed costs of $25,000 and variable costs of $.1/candle.
Option B uses hand labor with fixed costs of $10,000 and variable costs of $.5/candle.
Which option should the board select and why?
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
From the question, the demand given is 250,000
For Option A,
Fixed cost = $25000
Variable cost = $0.1 per candle
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
Total cost = $25000 + ($0.1 × 250,000)
= $25,000 + $25,000
= $50,000
For Option B,
Fixed cost = $10000,
Variable cost = $0.5 per candle
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
Total cost = $10000 + ($0.5 × 250,000)
= $10,000 + $125,000
= $135,000
Therefore, the board should select option A as the total cost is cheaper than option B.

On July 15, 2019, Matrix Corp. sells 20,000 snow shovels to a distributor for $15 per shovel. The distributor pays the amount on July 15, 2019, and has the right to return any of the snow shovels for any reason within 180 days for a full refund. Matrix uses the expected value method and estimates that 8% of the snow shovels will be returned and it is probable that no more than 8% of the shovels will be returned. How much sales revenue should Matrix recognize on July 15, 2019, from this sale
Answer:
the sales revenue recognized is 276,000
Explanation:
The computation of the sales revenue recognized is shown below;
= (20,000 × $15) - (20,000 × $15 × 8%)
= $300,000 - $24,000
= $276,000
Hence, the sales revenue recognized is 276,000

Explanation:
Solver provides sensitivity analysis information on all of the following except the a. range of values for objective function coefficients which do not change optimal solution. b. impact on optimal objective function value of changes in constrained resources. c. amount by which the right hand side of the constraints can change and still the shadow price is accurate. d. impact on right hand sides of changes in constraint coefficients.
Answer:
The correct answer is OPTION D (impact on right hand sides of changes in constraint coefficients).
Explanation:
Solver is an excel program that can be used to solve systems of equations even solve for multiple equations, using a powerful iteration technique in a bid to get a closer approximation to the solution of a problem.
A sensitivity report is one of the three reports that can be generated using the solver which can solve for the effect of how changes in the constraints no matter how small could still affect the overall solution.
The objective function is a target cell.
The solver doesn't provide information on how the impact on the right-hand sides of changes in constraint coefficients as information showed is that as long as there is a positive less than or equal constraints, increasing the values of the right-hand side values of constraints would not change the optimal solution.
The market equilibrium quantity without the $1.50 excise tax is ______________ units. The market equilibrium quantity with the $1.50 excise tax is ______________ units. The change in equilibrium quantity due to the $1.50 excise tax is ______________ units. (Note: Red colored supply curve should be Qs with no tax and Green supply curve is Qs with tax. Error below in labeling)
Answer:
Equilibrium quantity without excise tax is 130 units.
Equilibrium quantity with excise tax is 110 units.
The change in equilibrium quantity is 20 units decrease due to excise tax.
Explanation:
The quantity demanded without tax is 130 units because this is equilibrium point where quantity supplied equals to quantity demanded. The quantity demanded with tax is 110 units because the price will increase by $1.50 due to excise tax. The new price would be $4.50 after excise tax so the quantity will be declined to 110 units.

Answer:
Bond Price or Present value = $23021820.4557 rounded off to $23021820
Explanation:
To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, the present value, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the semi coupon payment, semi annual number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 25000000 * 0.07 * 6/12 = $875000
Total periods (n) = 5 * 2 = 10
r or YTM = 0.09 * 6/12 = 0.045 or 4.5%
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 875000 * [( 1 - (1+0.045)^-10) / 0.045] +
25000000 / (1+0.045)^10
Bond Price or Present value = $23021820.4557 rounded off to $23021820

= Reported value of investment - Unrealized gain
= $140,000 - $24,000
= $116,000
The Work-in-Process inventory account of a manufacturing firm shows a balance of $3,250 at the end of an accounting period. The job cost sheets of two uncompleted jobs show charges of $510 and $310 for materials, and charges of $410 and $670 for direct labor. From this information, it appears that the company is using a predetermined overhead rate, as a percentage of direct labor costs, of:
Answer:
$1.25
Explanation:
With regards to the above and given that;
Direct material = $510 310
Direct labor = $410 $670
Manufacturing overhead?
Work in process = Direct material + Direct labor + manufacturing overhead
$3,250 = $820 + $1,080 + MOH
$3,250 - $1,900 = MOH
MOH = $1,350

Samson Wholesale Beverage Company regularly factors its accounts receivable with the Milpitas Finance Company. On April 30, 2021, the company transferred $800,000 of accounts receivable to Milpitas. The transfer was made without recourse. Milpitas remits 90% of the factored amount and retains 10%. When Milpitas collects the receivables, it remits to Samson the retained amount less a 4% fee (4% of the total factored amount). Samson estimates the fair value of the last 10% of its receivables to be $60,000.
Required:
Prepare the journal entry for Samson Wholesale Beverage for the transfer of accounts receivable on April 30, assuming the sale criteria are met.
Answer:
Debit Cash for $720,000
Debit Receivable from factor for $28,000
Debit Loss on sale of receivables for $52,000
Credit Accounts receivable for $800,000
Explanation:
From the question, the following can first be calculated:
Cash = Accounts receivable * Percentage remitted by Milpitas = $800,000 * 90% = $720,000
Receivable from factor = Estimated fair value of the last 10% of receivables - 4% of the total factored amount = $60,000 - (4% * $800,000) = $60,000 - $32,000 = $28,000
Loss on sale of receivables = Accounts receivable - Cash - Receivable from factor = $800,000 - $720,000 - $28,000 = $52,000
The journal entry for Samson Wholesale Beverage for the transfer of accounts receivable on April 30, assuming the sale criteria are met will look as follows:
General Ledger Debit ($) Credit ($)
Cash 720,000
Receivable from factor 28,000
Loss on sale of receivables 52,000
Accounts receivable 800,000
