Answer:
a. Calculate current sales and ROI for Charlie’s Furniture Store.
asset turnover formula = net sales / average assets
0.4 = net sales / $800,000
net sales = $320,000
ROI = net income / investment
net income = $320,000 x 34% = $108,800
ROI = $108,800 / $800,000 = 13.6%
b. Assuming that the new strategy would reduce margin to 20%, and assuming that average total assets would stay the same, calculate the sales that would be required to have the same ROI as Charlie’s currently earns.
net income = net sales x 20% (new margin)
net sales = $108,800 / 20% = $544,000
c. Suppose you presented the results of your analysis in parts a and b of this problem to Charlie, and he replied, "What are you telling me? If I reduce my prices as planned, then I have to practically double my sales volume to earn the same return?" Given the results of your analysis, what is the actual amount of increase in sales required?
sales increase = ($544,000 - $320,000) / $320,000 = 70% increase
d. Now suppose Charlie says, "You know, I'm not convinced that lowering prices is my only option in staying competitive. What if I were to increase my marketing effort? I'm thinking about kicking off a new advertising campaign after conducting more extensive market research to better identify who my target customer groups are." In general, explain to Charlie what the likely impact of a successful strategy of this nature would be on margin, turnover, and ROI.
An extensive market research and a "successful" marketing campaign are generally expensive. Even if the marketing campaign is really successful in increasing sales, costs would also increase. So the equation may or may not change, depending if the contribution margin of the additional units sold will be able to cover the expenses of a complex marketing campaign. If you spend $100 to earn $100 more, your situation hasn't changed at all. Which means that net income may or may not increase, therefore, the profit margin, ROI and asset turnover may not change.
If merchandise inventory is being valued at cost and the purchase price is steadily falling, which method of costing will yield the largest net income?
Answer:
The answer is LIFO
Explanation:
LIFO is Last in First out. It means the Inventory that was purchased last goes out first.
In periods LIFO, cost of sales reflects the cost of goods purchased recently and the ending Inventory reflects the older goods.
In periods of falling prices, the costs of ending inventory are high, cost of sales are low and the gross profit are high.

SMUCKERS Absorption Costing Income Statement For the Third Quarter of 2017 Sales Answer Answer Answer Answer Answer Answer Answer Net income Answer SMUCKERS Variable Costing Income Statement For the Third Quarter of 2017 Sales Answer Answer Answer Answer Answer Fixed expenses: Answer Answer Selling and administrative Answer Answer Net income Answer
Answer:
a:Total Variable Costs $26
a:Total Manufacturing Costs = $ 30
b:Net Income Variable Costing $100,000
b: Net Income Absorption Costing $ 100,000
Explanation:
Smuckers Manufacturers
Costs per case under Variable Costing
Direct materials per case 16
Direct labor per case 7
Variable manufacturing overhead per case 3
Total Variable Costs $26
Costs per case under Absorption Costing
Direct materials (30,000*16) 480,000
Direct labor (30,000*7) 210,000
Variable manufacturing overhead (30,000*3) 90,000
Total Variable Costs 780,000
Total fixed manufacturing overhead $120,000
Total Manufacturing Costs $ 900,000
Total Manufacturing Costs per Case= $ 900,000/ 30,000= $ 30
The difference between the variable and absorption costing is that the product costs include variable and fixed costs in absorption costing. But in variable costing the product costs include only variable costs.

Variable Costing Income Statement
For the Third Quarter of 2017
Sales (30,000*34) 1020,000
Direct materials (30,000*16) 480,000
Direct labor (30,000*7) 210,000
Variable manufacturing overhead (30,000*3) 90,000
Total Variable Costs 780,000
Contribution Margin 240,000
Fixed Expenses 140,000
Total fixed manufacturing overhead $120,000
Fixed selling and administrative 20,000
Net Income 100,000
In this case the net income under both variable and absorption costing does not change because the units produced are units sold. No cost is charged to ending inventory under absorption costing.

CDB stock is currently priced at $80. The company will pay a dividend of $4.57 next year and investors require a return of 10.8 percent on similar stocks. What is the dividend growth rate on this stock
Answer:
The answer is 5.09%
Explanation:
The model used in this question is the Dividend Discount Model and it is one of the methods used in determining the price of stock. Here, the price of stock had already been determined. We are looking for one of the variables (growth rate) used in determining the price.
The formula for determining price of stock is:
Po = D1/r - g
Where Po is the price of stock
D1 is the dividend for next year
r is the rate of return
g is the dividend growth rate
$80 = $4.57/0.108 - g
Cross multiply:
8.64 - 80g = 4.57
80g = 8.64 - 4.57
80g = 4.07
g = 4.07/80
g =0.05088
g = 5.09%

Webby Inc. is a web development company. Webby’s monthly production function for developing websites is given in the table below. Webby pays $4,000 a month in rent for office space and equipment. It pays each programmer $3,000 a month. There are no other production costs. Fill in the table of production costs.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the filling of the given table for the production cost is shown in the attachment below:
As we know that
Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost
Average fixed cost = fixed cost ÷ websites
Average Variable cost = Variable cost ÷ websites
Therefore the average total cost is
= Average fixed cost + average variable cost
The marginal cost is
= Change in total cost ÷ change in quantity
These formulas are used to complete the table as given below.
Tom and Suri decide to take a worldwide cruise. To do so, they need to save $15,000. They plan to invest $2,500 at the end of each year for the next six years to earn 9% compounded annually. Calculate the future value of the investment. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $18,808.25
Explanation:
There is a constant cashflow of $2,500 making this an annuity.
The future value of the $2,500 paid every year for 6 years at 9% will be;
Future value of Annuity = 2,500 * Future Value of Annuity factor, 6 periods, 9%) (refer to attached table)
= 2,500 * 7.5233
= $18,808.25
The future value of the amount is more than the amount they would require.

The bid-ask spread exists because of _______________. A. market inefficiencies B. discontinuities in the markets C. the need for dealers to cover expenses and make a profit D. lack of trading in thin markets
Answer:
C. the need for dealers to cover expenses and make a profit
Explanation:
In the market for securities there are two pricing of securities.
The ask price is the price at which the buyer is willing to purchase a security.
The ask price or the offer price is price at which the seller of a security is willing to sell it. Ask price can be firm or negotiable.
Bid ask spread is the difference between the highest amount a buyer is willing to buy a security and the lowest price at which a seller is willing to sell it.
This spread exists because dealers need to cover expenses and make a profit
In the MBTI personality model, Disney "imagineers" are more likely to have high _____ scores, while Disney accountants who determine currency transfer equivalencies are more likely to have high _____ scores.
Answer:
In the MBTI personality model, Disney "imagineers" are more likely to have high __INTJ___ scores, while Disney accountants who determine currency transfer equivalencies are more likely to have high __ISTJ___ scores.
Explanation:
1. MBTI personality model is the Myers-Briggs Theory. It was developed by the mother-daughter partnership of Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. At the heart of Myers Briggs theory are four preferences, depicting personality preferences as follows:
1. People and things (Extraversion or "E"), or ideas and information (Introversion or "I").
2. Facts and reality (Sensing or "S"), or possibilities and potential (Intuition or "N").
3. Logic and truth (Thinking or "T"), or values and relationships (Feeling or "F").
4. A lifestyle that is well-structured (Judgment or "J"), or one that goes with the flow (Perception or "P").
These four major classifications mean that one tends to have more of each than the other. This means that there are 16 traits or combinations of traits for a given personality.
2. INTJ personality type: Disney "imagineers" are likely to direct their energies to deal with (Introversion) ideas, information, explanations, and beliefs, as people in research and development at Disney. The information they deal with will be based on ideas, new possibilities, and not obvious things (Intuition) instead of facts and what they know and see. Their decision making will be based on objective logic, using analytic and detailed approaches. Their work will be planned and well-structured to reflect their lifestyle as opposed to flowing with the trend and maintaining flexibility.
3. ISTJ personality class: Disney accountants will bear similar traits like the "imagineers" except that instead of dealing with unknown and not obvious ideas and possibilities like the imagineers, they would prefer their information for processing to be based on clear facts and what they see and know.
Answer:
In the MBTI personality model, Disney "imagineers" are more likely to have high __INTJ___ scores, while Disney accountants who determine currency transfer equivalencies are more likely to have high __ISTJ___ scores.
Explanation:
An important element of just-in-time processing is Group of answer choices dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice. all of the above. a specialized workforce. less emphasis on a quality control system.
Answer:
dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice
Explanation:
I will first try to explain what the concept means. just in time processing is an inventory strategy that has to do with the ordering of materials at short notice and receiving these items just in time for the production process. It decreases inventory costs and waste and also raises efficiency since goods are only going to be received as they are needed for production.
Therefore the correct answer is: dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice.

(20,000-12,000)=$8,000
D.Therefore to PRESERVE THE LOSS on Machine A, Raven should consider SELLING Machine A. Raven should consider distributing Machine B because there will be NO RECOGNIZED GAIN OR LOSS on the distribution. To AVOID RECOGNIZING THE GAIN on Machine C, Raven should consider NEITHER SELLING NOR DISTRIBUTING Machine C
Classical economists contend that official measures of unemployment: Multiple Choice understate the problem due to the existence of discouraged workers. overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary. understate the problem due to involuntary part-time employment. overstate the problem because most unemployment is cyclical.
Answer: overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary.
Explanation:
Unemployment is a term that is used to refer to individuals who are looking for job but can not find a job.
Classical economists contend that official measures of unemployment
overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary.
According to the Classical economists, there is increase in employment because those seeking employment do not want to work for lower wages but will rather wait for high paying jobs and this therefore leads to overstating of the unemployment rate.
railway cabooses just paid its annual dividend of 1.70 per share. The company has been reducing the dividends by 11.3 percent each year. How much are you willing to pay today to purchase stock in this company if your required rate of return is 12 percent?
Answer:
8.24
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of purchase stock is shown below:-
Purchase price = Dividend in paid in next year ÷ (required rate of return - Growth rate)
= (1.70 ÷ (1 - 0.113)) ÷ (0.12 - (-0.113))
= 1.92 ÷ 0.233
= 8.24
Therefore for computing the purchase price we simply applied the above formula.

On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,800 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for four years and perform 200 concerts. It estimates that after four years it can sell the equipment for $2,000. During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts. Compute the first-year depreciation using the units-of-production method. g
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $14,355
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Original cost= $65,800
Number of units= 200
Salvage value= $2,000
During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts.
To calculate the annual depreciation under the units-of- production method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units operated
Annual depreciation= [(65,800 - 2,000)/200]*45
Annual depreciation= $14,355

On December 20, the company paid cash for equipment, $272,300, subject to a 2% cash discount, and freight on equipment of $11,410. Prepare entries on the books of Concord Company for these transactions. (Round intermediate calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and final answer to 0 decimal places e.g. 58,971. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
Answer:
Dr equipment $ 278,264.00
Cr cash $278,264.00
Explanation:
The amount of cash paid for equipment=$272,300*(1-2%)=$266,854.00
The cash paid for freight on equipment is $11,410
The cash paid on freight would also be debited to the equipment's account since the cost of an asset includes the amount spent bringing it to its present location and condition .
Total cost of equipment =$266,854.00+$11,410.00
On December 2, Coley Corp. acquired 1,000 shares of its $2 par value common stock for $27 each On December 20, Coley Corp. resold 400 shares for $30 each. Which of the following is correct regarding the effect of the reselling of shares on the accounting equation?
A. Assets decrease
B. Liabilities decrease
C. Expenses increase
D. Stockholders' Equity increases
Answer:
D. Stockholders' Equity increases
Explanation:
Cost of the share being resale = 400 shares x $27 = $10,800
Proceeds on the resale of shares = 400 shares x $30 = $12,000
Profit / Gain on resale = $12,000 - $10,800 = $1,200
As there is a profit of $1,200 the stockholders equity will be increased on the reselling of share.
As the assets section is increased because more cash is received against the cost of those shares.
E6-23 (similar to) Aunt Betty Bakery reported net sales revenue of $ 59 comma 000 and cost of goods sold of $ 17 comma 000. Compute Aunt Betty's correct gross profit if the company made either of the following independent accounting errors. a. Ending merchandise inventory is overstated by $ 4 comma 000. b. Ending merchandise inventory is understated by $ 4 comma 000.
Answer:
a. Ending merchandise inventory is overstated by $4,000.
net sales revenue of $59,000
cost of goods sold of $17,000 + $4,000 = $21,000
gross profit = $38,000
Since ending inventory was overstated, it means that COGS were understated.
b. Ending merchandise inventory is understated by $4,000.
net sales revenue of $59,000
cost of goods sold of $17,000 - $4,000 = $13,000
gross profit = $46,000
Since ending inventory was understated, it means that COGS were overstated.
On December 31, 2014, Flint Corporation sold for $100,000 an old machine having an original cost of $180,000 and a book value of $80,000. The terms of the sale were as follows:
$20,000 down payment
$40,000 payable on December 31 each of the next two years
The agreement of sale made no mention of interest; however, 9% would be a fair rate for this type of transaction. What should be the amount of the notes receivable net of the unamortized discount on December 31, 2012 rounded to the nearest dollar? (The present value of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 9% for 2 years is 1.75911.)
a. $70,364
b. $90,364.
c. $80,000.
d. $140,728.
Answer:
a. $70,364
Explanation:
We must determine the present value of the notes receivable using the 9% discount rate.
PV of accounts receivable = $40,000 / 1.09 + $40,000 / 1.09² = $36,697.25 + $33,667.20 = $70,364.45
When a notes receivable is issued and carries no interests, you have to record the present value of the notes receivable in order to determine the amount that should be recorded as interest income in the future. In this case, interest income = $80,000 - $70,364 = $9,636
Specter Co. has identified an investment project with the following cash flows. Year Cash Flow 1 $ 820 2 1,130 3 1,390 4 1,525 a. If the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the present value of these cash flows
Answer:
$3,765.26

Cindy's current year adjusted gross income (AGI) is $300,000 and her current year total tax liability is $60,000. Her immediate prior year AGI is $200,000 with a total tax liability of $40,000. To avoid an underpayment interest penalty, what is Cindy's minimum required total tax payment amount for the current year
Answer:
The answer is $44,000
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
Now
Present/current year AGI = $300000
Present /current year tax liability = $60000
Prior year AGI = $200000
Prior year tax liability = $40000
Thus
As per Tax rule or applying the Tax rule
If Adjusted gross income(AGI) of prior year is below $250000 then the minimum required tax payment in the current year in order to avoid interest penalty is lower of
(1) 90% of present /current year tax (liability) or
(2) 110% of prior year tax liability
So
Because the prior year AGI is $200000 which is lower than $250000, in order to avoid interest penalty, the minimum required payment amount of tax liability in current/present year is lower of
(1) 90% of current year tax liability of $60000
Then
$60000 *90% = $54000
Or
(2)110% of prior year tax liability of $40000
$40000 ×110% = $44000
Hence, minimum required total tax payment amount for the current year is $44,000
Accounts Receivable has a balance of $ 5 comma 000, and the Allowance for Bad Debts has a credit balance of $ 420. The allowance method is used. What is the net realizable value of Accounts Receivable after a $ 140 account receivable is written off?
Answer:
$4,580
Explanation:
since we are using the allowance method, the journal entry to record the write off is:
Dr Allowance for bad debts 140
Cr Accounts receivable 140
So the accounts receivable balance = $5,000 - $140 = $4,860
the allowance for bad debts balance = $280
accounts receivable net balance = $4,860 - $280 = $4,580
Allowance for bad debts accounts is a contra asset account that reduces the balance of accounts receivable.

Answer:
$16,125.15
Explanation:
DATA:
Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity
Assembly $1,398,250 65,800 machine hours
Processing orders $ 69,451 2,520 orders
Inspection $ 184,800 2,400 inspection-hours
Units produced = 920
Machine hours required = 1290
Processing orders required= 61
Inspection hours required = 40
Direct material cost = 57.55
Direct labor cost = 13.56 per unit
Selling price = 123.50
Solution
Sales Revenue (920 ×$123.5) $113,620
LESS: Costs
Direct Materials (920 × $57.55) $52,946
Direct labor (920 ×$13.56) $12,375.2
Assembly (1,398,250/65,800) = 21.25 × 1290= $27412.5
Processing (69,451/2,520) = 27.55 × 61 = $1681.15
Inspection (184,800/2,400) = 77 x 40 = $3080
Total Cost ($97494.65)
Product margin $16,125.15

We have the following data for a hypothetical open economy: GNP = $12 comma 00012,000 Consumption (C) = $7 comma 2007,200 Investment (I) = $1 comma 0001,000 Government Purchases (G) = $1 comma 6001,600 Tax Collections (T) = $1 comma 2001,200 What is the value of private savings plus public savings? $nothing (Enter your answer as an integer. Include a minus sign if necessary.) What is the value of the current account balance CA? $nothing (Enter your answer as an integer. Include a minus sign if necessary.)
Answer:
The value of private savings plus public savings is $3,200
The value of the current account balance CA is $2,200
Explanation:
In order to calculate the value of private savings plus public savings we would have to make the following calculation:
Total saving = private saving+public saving
Total saving =GNP-Tax Collections-Consumption+Tax Collections-Government Purchases
Total saving =$12,000-$1,200-$7,200+$1,200-$1,600
Total saving =$3,200
To calculate the value of the current account balance CA we would have to make the following calculation:
value of the current account balance CA=GNP-Consumption-Investment-Government Purchases
value of the current account balance CA= $12,000 - $7,200 -$1,000-$1,600
value of the current account balance CA= $2,200
