Answer:
b. product A and B are subtitutes
a. the quantity of fast food consumed decreases as income increases
Explanation:
Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.
Cross price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded of good A / percentage change in price of good B.
The cross price elasticity of substitute goods are always positive because if the price of good B increases, the Quanitity demanded of good A rises.
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
Complement goods are goods that are used together. E.g. car and gas
Inferior goods are goods whose demand increases when income falls and whose demand falls when income rises.

The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration are examples of agencies engaged in A. the regulation of nonmonopolistic industries. B. health and safety regulation. C. social regulation. D. the regulation of natural monopolies.
Answer:
A. the regulation of nonmonopolistic industries.
Explanation:
The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration are examples of agencies engaged in the regulation of nonmonopolistic industries.
A nonmonopolistic industry is one that is characterized by competition among various service providers in a country and generally there's a government agency that regulates their actions and activities in the public.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is a governmental agency saddled with the sole responsibility of regulating the securities or capital markets, as well as protecting investors in a country.
In the U.S, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an independent government agency was established under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 of the United States of America.
Hence, SEC has the power to propose securities rules and regulations, and enforce federal securities law in the securities market.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was founded on the 23rd of August, 1958 under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 of the United States of America. It is an independent government agency with the responsibility of regulating civil aviation, commercial space transportation, construction and maintenance of airports, air traffic management and operations of navigation systems for both civil and military aircrafts, and issuance of licenses to airline operators with their personnel.
The following monthly data are available for Sheridan Company which produces only one product: Selling price per unit, $38; Unit variable expenses, $14; Total fixed expenses, $42000; Actual sales for the month of June, 7000 units. How much is the margin of safety for the company for June
Answer:
$199,500
Explanation:
The computation of the margin of safety is shown below:
As we know that
margin of safety = Actual sales - break even sales
where,
Actual sales is
= Actual sales units × Selling price per unit
= 7,000 units × $38
= $266,000
And, the break even sales is
= Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin per unit
= $42,000 ÷ ($38 - $14)
= $42,000 ÷ $24
= 1,750 units
Now the break even sales is
= Break even units × selling price per unit
= 1,750 units × $38
= $66,500
So, the margin of safety is
= $266,000 - $66,500
= $199,500
Synovec Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 24 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 7 percent thereafter. If the required return is 11 percent, and the company just paid a dividend of $2.05, what is the current share price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
The current price per share is $84.16
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) estimates the value of a share/stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. We will use the two stage growth model of DDM here as the growth in dividends of the stock is divided into two stages.
The formula for current price under two stage growth model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n +
[( D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2)) / (r - g2)] / (1+r)^n
Where,
g1 is initial growth rate
g2 is the constant growth rate
r is the required rate of return
So, the price of the stock today will be,
P0 = 2.05 * (1+0.24) / (1+0.11) + 2.05 * (1+0.24)^2 / (1+0.11)^2 +
2.05 * (1+0.24)^3 / (1+0.11)^3 + [( 2.05 * (1+0.24)^3 * (1+0.07)) / (0.11 - 0.07)] / (1+0.11)^3
P0 = $84.1556 rounded off to $84.16
Using $3,000,000 as the total manufacturing costs, compute the cost of goods manufactured using the following information.
Raw materials inventory, January 1 $ 20,000
Raw materials inventory, December 31 40,000
Work in process, January 1 18,000
Work in process, December 31 12,000
Finished goods, January 1 40,000
Finished goods, December 31 32,000
Raw materials purchases 1,700,000
Direct labor 760,000
Factory utilities 150,000
Indirect labor 50,000
Factory depreciation 400,000
Operating expenses 420,000
a. $3,014,000
b. $3,006,000
c. $3,008,000
d. $2,994,000
Answer:
$3,006,000
Explanation:
The computation of cost of goods manufactured is shown below:-
Cost of Goods Manufactured = Gross Manufacturing Cost + Opening Work in progress - Closing work in progress
= $3,000,000 + $18,000 - $12,000
= $3,006,000
Therefore for computing the cost of goods manufactured we have applied the above formulas and ignore all other values as they are not relevant.
The next dividend payment by Savitz, Inc., will be $1.68 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $32 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
The answer is 11.25%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The next step to take is to calculate the required rate of return which is shown below:
The required rate = D₁/P₀₀ + g
Thus,
$1.68/$32 + 0.06%
=0.0525 + 0.06
=0.1125 or 11.25%
Therefore, the required rate of return is 11.25%
5. Sarasota Bicycles has been manufacturing its own wheels for its bikes. The company is currently operating at 100% capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 30% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make the wheels are $3.00 and $3.60 respectively. Normal production is 200,000 wheels per year. A supplier offers to make the wheels at a price of $8 each. If the bicycle company accepts this offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $84,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the wheels will have to be absorbed by other products. Required: a. Prepare an incremental analysis for the decision to make or buy the wheels. b. Should Sarasota Bicycles buy the wheels from the outside supplier
Answer:
It is better to make the wheels
Explanation:
Sarasota Bicycles
Incremental Analysis
Make Buy
Direct materials $3.00
Direct labor $3.60
Variable OH (3.06*30%) 1.08
Total 7.68 8
Normal production 200,000 200,000
Total Costs 1536000 1600,000
Fixed Overheads 84,000 84,000
Total Costs 1620,000 1684,000
As fixed costs are irrelevant costs that would not change whether the company makes or buys wheels and the cost to make the wheels $7.08 is less than the cost to buy $ 8.0. It is better to make the wheels . Buying the wheels from the outside supplier is costly.
a. Incremental Analysis for making the wheels at Sarasota Bicycles is as follows:
Make Buy Differential
Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Cost
Relevant cost per unit $7.68 $8.00 $0.32 ($8.00 - $7.68)
Total cost $1,536,000 $1,600,000 $64,000 (200,000 x $0.32)
b. Sarasota should not buy the wheels from the outside supplier. It should continue to make them as it saves $64,000 per year from making the wheels.
Data and Calculations:
Direct materials cost per unit = $3.00
Direct labor cost per unit = $3.60
Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.08 ($3.60 x 30%)
Total variable cost per unit = $7.68
Number of wheels per year = 200,000
Outside Supplier's Price = $8 per unit
Thus, Sarasota Bicycles gains $64,000 by making the wheels instead of buying from the outside supplier.

Kahn of Portland Oregon sent a letter to Lischner of Los Angeles inquiring whether Kushner’s property in Humboldt County was for sale. Lischner replied that he was interested in selling and asked Kahn about the fair market value. Kahn wrote that it was difficult to make an offer without a legal description of the property and asked for it and the annual taxes. These were provided by Lischner. Subsequently, Kahn wrote, "I hesitate to place a value on someone else’s property, but I can tell you that I have been offered a similar track of property for $2,000. Since your property is closer to mine, I would prefer to buy yours, and offer a four-year term contract at a total price of $2,500." The two parties ultimately agreed on a cash price of $2,500. Shortly after contracting with Kahn, Lischner went to Humboldt county and readily learned, upon the most superficial inquiry that the property was worth more than $2,500. He sold the property to Pacoima Lumber Sales, Inc. for $7,500. Thereupon, Kahn sued Lischner for $5,000. Lischner responded that he had been induced to contract by a fraudulent misrepresentation as to the value of the property by Kahn and therefore could rescind their contract of sale.What are the elements that must be present for fraudulent misrepresentation? Did Kahn commit fraud? Why, or why not.
Answer:
Misrepresentation & Fraud:
a) Elements for Fraudulent Misrepresentation:
1) A representation was in fact made: This means that it was not just a mere opinion expressed by the party misrepresenting.
2) That particular representation was false: The statement made was untrue.
3) The defendant had knowledge that the representation was false: The misrepresentation was intentional on the party of the defendant.
4) The statement was made with the intention that the other party rely on it and enter into a contract or agreement: The defendant was out to induce the other party to enter the contract.
b) Kahn committed a fraud since he intentionally induced Lischner to contract on the basis of fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedy available for Lischner is to rescind the contract.
Explanation:
a) Fraudulent misrepresentation is the presentation of false facts by someone who attempts to persuade another into action with the intent to deceive. The remedy available to the deceived party is to rescind the contract or to plea for damages.
b) According to the britannica.com, "Fraud, in law, is the deliberate misrepresentation of fact for the purpose of depriving someone of a valuable possession."

In which region(s) of the world did each company experience the greatest growth from 2011–2012? the greatest decline?
Answer with its Explanation:
a). The total revenue of Volkswagen and BMW in the 2012 segment given shows that the revenue is $192,676 and BMW which is $76,848. As the revenue of Volkswagen is more than the BMW hence Volkswagen is more multinational.
b). The regional sales section shows that the Volkswagen is more internationally recognized as per the regional sales which is substantially higher than the regional sales of BMW. So its crystal clear that Volkswagen is the one which more internationally diversified.
c). The 2012 segment information shows that the BMW greatest growth was in China then in USA and then greatest growth was in Rest of the Europe and the greatest decline was in Rest of the America.
For Volkswagen, the greatest growth was in North America then in Asia and then in South America. The greatest decline wasn't seen in the segment information but lowest increase was seen in Germany and then in the European countries.
The City of Southern Pines maintains its books so as to prepare fund accounting statements and records worksheet adjustments in order to prepare government-wide statements. As such, the City’s internal service fund, a motor pool fund, is included in the proprietary funds statements. Balance sheet asset accounts include: Cash, $102,000; Investments, $150,400; Due from the General Fund, $18,300; Inventories, $396,000; and Capital Assets (net), $1,169,700. Liability accounts include: Accounts Payable, $61,500; Long-Term Advance from Enterprise Fund, $738,000. The only transaction in the internal service fund that is external to the government is interest revenue in the amount of $4,400. Exclusive of the interest revenue, the internal service fund reported net income in the amount of $84,000. An examination of the records indicates that services were provided as follows: one-third to general government, one-third to public safety, and one-third to public works. Prepare necessary adjustments in order to incorporate the internal service fund in the government-wide statements as a part of governmental activities. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)
Answer: The answer has been attached
Explanation:
The journal is a book in accounting that is used to record the transactions that affect a business. It should be noted that the double entry method of bookkeeping is utilised while recording in a journal.
The journal has been attached in the following way:
1. The journal was used to record the balance sheet particulars.
2. To record the transaction in the internal service fund that is external to the government.
3. To record the internal service fund in the government-wide statements as a part of governmental activities.
It should also be noted that the net income of $84,000 was to be shared as one-third to general government, one-third to public safety, and one-third to public works. This means they'll all receive ($84,000/3) = $28,000 each.

Solution
Given that
An assets has a return average of =10.19%
Standard deviation =22.41%
Probability in any given year =16%
Now
The most you should expect to earn in any given year with a probability of 16 percent is = 10.19 + 22.41
= 32.6
Therefore,what you should expect in given year to lose is 32.6%
Agent Jennings makes a presentation on Medicare advertised as an educational event. Agent Jennings distributes materials that are solely educational in nature. However, she gives a brief presentation that mentions plan-specific premiums. Is this a prohibited activity at an event that has been advertised as educational?
Answer:
Yes it is
Explanation:
Yes. When an event has been advertised as educational, going ahead to discuss plan-specific premiums is impermissible
The event for which Mary made the presentation is clearly an educational event so she should have concentrated fully on only educational contents that pertains to the event. Giving a presentation that mentions plan-specific premiums no matter how brief is a deviation from the main focus of the event. Therefore it is impermissible for her to do so.

Answer:
Absorption costing unit product cost = $270 per unit
Explanation:
Absorption costing values unit produced using the full cost per unit.
It categories cost as production and non-production cost
Full cost per unit =Direct labour cost + direct material cost + Variable production overhead + fixed production overhead
Fixed prod overhead per unit = Total fixed production overhead/Number of units
= $148,000/3,700 units=$40 per unit
Full cost per unit = 132+ 93+ 5 + 40 = $270 per unit
Absorption costing unit = $270 per unit
Jack's Construction Co. has 80,000 bonds outstanding that are selling at par value. Bonds with similar characteristics are yielding 8.5%. The company also has 4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The stock has a beta of 1.1 and sells for $40 a share. The U.S. Treasury bill is yielding 4% and the market risk premium is 8%. Jack's tax rate is 35%. What is Jack's weighted average cost of capital
Answer:
The answer is =10.36%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is a way that a company calculates its cost of financing and acquiring assets by comparing the debt and equity structure of the business.
WACC = WeRe + WdRd
We is weight of equity
Re is cost of equity
Wd is weight of debt
Rd is cost of debt
For its cost of equity:
Ke = Rf + beta(market risk premium)
Where Ke is cost of equity
Rf is risk free rate of return( treasury bill return)
4% + 1.1 x 8%
= 12.8%
Total debt 80,000 x $1,000 = $80million
Common: 4million x $40 = $160million
Total = $80milllion + $160million
=$240million.
Therefore, WACC is
WdRd= 80/240 x [8.5% x(1-35%)]
80/240 x 5.5%
=1.83%
WeRe = 160/240 x 12.8%
= 8.53%
=1.83% + 8.53%
=10.36%
One-year Treasury securities yield 4%. The market anticipates that 1-year from now 1-year Treasury securities will yield 2.1%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what should be the yield today for 2-year Treasury securities? Write your answer as a percentage, i.e. for example write 8% as 8.
Answer:
3.05%
Explanation:
According to Pure Expectation Theory, the future short term interest rates are actually the forward rates.
Mathematically,
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + r1,0)^1 * (1 + r1,1)^1
Here,
r2,0 is the rate of interest for 2 year treasury security from today
r1,0 is the rate of the interest for 1 year treasury security from today
r1,1 is the rate of the interest for 2 year treasury security from Year 1
By Putting Values, we have:
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + 0.04)^1 * (1 + 0.021)^1
(1 + r2,0)^2 = 1.06184
By taking square-root on both sides, we have:
(1 + r2,0) = 1.0305
r2,0 = 3.05%
Oscar owns a building that is destroyed in a hurricane. His adjusted basis in the building before the hurricane is $130,000. His insurance company pays him $140,000 and he immediately invests in a new building at a cost of $142,000. What is Oscar's basis on his new building?
Answer: $132,000
Explanation:
Oscar's new basis on the building will be the basis of the old building plus any additional investment he added.
This is the because there is no gain on the $140,000 he received because it was an Involuntary Conversion amount and he reinvested it into another building within a period of 2 years.
As there is no gain, the building will retain it's original basis but will add any amount outside the involuntary replacement cost of the building.
The Additional basis will be,
= Cost of building - Insurance
= 142,000 - 140,000
= $2,000
The Basis for the new building is,
= 130,000 + 2,000
= $132,000
Lake Erie Company uses a plantwide overhead rate with machine hours as the allocation base. Next year, 700,000 units are expected to be produced taking 0.75 machine hours each. How much overhead will be assigned to each unit produced given the following estimated amounts?
Estimated: Department 1 Department 2
Manufacturing overhead costs $3,141,500 $1,571,000
Direct labor hours 167,000 DLH 267,000 DLH
Machine hours 267,000 MH 192,000 MH
a. $10.86 per unit
b. $8.73 per unit
c. $4.22 per unit
d. $11.77 per unit
e. $10 per unit
Answer:
$7.70 per unit
Explanation:
For computing the overhead rate per unit we first need to compute the estimated amount which is as follows
Total manufacturing cost
= Department 1 + department 2
= $31,41,500.00 + $15,71,000.00
= $47,12,500.00
Total machine hours
= Department 1 + department 2
= 267,000 MH + 192,000 MH
= 459000 MH
Now predetermined overhead rate is
= Total manufacturing cost ÷ Total machine hours
= $4,712,500 ÷ 459,000 MHs
= $10.27 per MH
Now overhead per unit is
= Pre-determined overhead rate per MH × Machine Hours required per unit
= $10.27 per MH × 0.75 MHs per unit
= $7.70 per unit
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
Exercise 5-10 Lower of cost or market LO P2 Martinez Company's ending inventory includes the following items. Product Units Cost per Unit Market per Unit Helmets 36 $ 58 $ 54 Bats 29 76 82 Shoes 50 95 99 Uniforms 54 40 40 Compute the lower of cost or market for ending inventory applied separately to each product.
Answer:
Helmets $ 1,944
Bats $ 2,204
Shoes $ 4,750
Uniforms $ 2,000
Explanation:
We will compare between the cost and the proceeds from sale of the units. As accounting wants to represent reality it cannot value the company goods higher than it can acceess to it in the market regardless of the purchase cost.
This may generate losses to represent the decrease in the overall value of the good.
Helmets 36 $ 58 $ 54
Helmets cost is higher than market so we recognize a loss an valued at $54
36 units x $54 = $1,944
Bats 29 $76 $82
Bats productions cost is lower so we keep it.
29 units x $76 = $2,204
Shoes 50 $95 $99
Shoes also has a lower production cost
50 units x $95 = $4,750
Uniforms 54 $40 $40
As they are the same we just leave with $40
50 units x $40 = $2000
Given the following information, calculate the debt ratio percentage: Liabilities = $25,000Liquid assets = $5,000Monthly credit payments = $800Monthly savings = $760Net worth = $75,000Take-home pay = $2,300Gross income = $3,500Monthly expenses = $2,050
Answer:
33.33%
Explanation:
The debt ratio percentage is calculated as:
Liabilities / Net worth = Debt Ratio Percentage
$25,000 / $75,000 = 0.3333
0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
The debt ratio is easy to calculate and is calculated by dividing the total liabilities of a person with the total net worth of the person. Dividing both gives a figure in decimal which is then multiplied by 100 to derive a percentage.
If $1200 is borrowed at 9% interest, find the amounts due at the end of 4 years if the interest is compounded as follows. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) (i) annually $ 1693.9 Correct: Your answer is correct. (ii) quarterly $ 1204.3 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (iii) monthly $ (iv) weekly $ (v) daily $ (vi) hourly $ (vii) continuously $
Answer and Explanation:
(i) The computation of compound interest for annual is shown below:-
Compound interest = A = P × (1 + r ÷ n)^t
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 1)^1 × 4
= $1,200 × (1.09)^4
= $1,693.897932
or
= $1,693.90
(ii) The computation of compound interest for quarterly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 4)^4 × 4
= $1,200 × (1.09)^16
= $1,713.145749
or
= $1,713.15
Since it is quarterly so we divide the interest rate by 4 and multiply the time period by 4
(iii) The computation of compound interest for monthly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 12)^4 × 12
= $1,200 × (1.0075)^48
= $1,717.6864
or
= $1,717.69
Since it is monthly so we divide the interest rate by 12 and multiply the time period by 12
(iv) The computation of compound interest for weekly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 52)^4 × 52
= $1,200 × (1.432883461 )^208
= $1719.460154
or
= $1,719.46
Since it is weekly so we divide the interest rate by 52 and multiply the time period by 52
(v) The computation of compound interest for daily is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 365)^4 × 365
= $1,200 × (1.43326581 )^1460
= $1719.918972
or
= $1719.92
Since it is daily so we divide the interest rate by 365 and multiply the time period by 365
(vi) The computation of compound interest for hourly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 8760)^4 × 8760
= $1,200 × (1.433326764 )^35,040
= $1,719.992117
or
= $1719.99
(vii) The computation of compound interest for continuously is shown below:-
A = Pe^rt
= 1,200e^0.09 × 4
= 1,200e^0.36
= $1,720.00
NU YU announced today that it will begin paying annual dividends. The first dividend will be paid next year in the amount of $.27 a share. The following dividends will be $.32, $.47, and $.77 a share annually for the following three years, respectively. After that, dividends are projected to increase by 2.3 percent per year. How much are you willing to pay today to buy one share of this stock if your desired rate of return is 12 percent
Answer:
The maximum hat should be paid for the stock today is $6.48
Explanation:
The price of the stock today can be calculated using the dividend discount model. It bases the price or value of a stock on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.

Rubium Micro Devices currently manufactures a subassembly for its main product. The costs per unit are as follows:
Direct materials $54.00
Direct labor 35.00
Variable overhead 40.00
Fixed overhead 34.00
Total $163.00
Crayola Technologies Inc. has contacted Rubium with an offer to sell 6,000 of the subassemblies for $144.00 each. Rubium will eliminate $89,000 of fixed overhead if it accepts the proposal. Should Rubium make or buy the subassemblies? What is the difference between the two alternatives?
Answer:
If the company buys the units, income will decrease by $1,000.-
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $54.00
Direct labor 35.00
Variable overhead 40.00
Crayola Technologies Inc. has contacted Rubium with an offer to sell 6,000 of the subassemblies for $144.00 each. Rubium will eliminate $89,000 of fixed overhead if it accepts the proposal.
First, we need to determine the total cost of making the units:
Total cost= total variable costs + avoidable fixed costs
Total costs= (54 + 35 + 40)*6,000 + 89,000= $863,000
Now, the cost of buying:
Total cost= 6,000*144= $864,000
If the company buys the units, income will decrease by $1,000.-

Biarritz Corp. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 29 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 6.8 percent thereafter. If the required return is 15 percent and the company just paid a dividend of $3.15, what is the current share price
Answer:
The current price of the share is $69.85
Explanation:
To calculate the current share price, we will use the dividend discount model approach.
The dividend discount model (DDM) estimates the value of a share/stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. We will use the two stage growth model of DDM here as the growth in dividends of the stock is divided into two stages.
The formula for current price under two stage growth model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n +
[( D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2)) / (r - g2)] / (1+r)^n
Where,
g1 is initial growth rateg2 is the constant growth rater is the required rate of returnSo, the price of the stock today will be,
P0 = 3.15 * (1+0.29) / (1+0.15) + 3.15 * (1+0.29)^2 / (1+0.15)^2 +
3.15 * (1+0.29)^3 / (1+0.15)^3 +
[( 3.15 * (1+0.29)^3 * (1+0.068)) / (0.15 - 0.068)] / (1+0.15)^3
P0 = $69.85196 rounded off to $69.85

Value of a retirement annuity Personal Finance Problem An insurance agent is trying to sell you an annuity, that will provide you with $6 comma 200 at the end of each year for the next 20 years. If you don't purchase this annuity, you can invest your money and earn a return of 4%. What is the most you would pay for this annuity right now? Ignoring taxes, the most you would pay for this annuity is
Answer:
The maximum to be paid= $84,260.023
Explanation:
The maximum amount to be paid is the present value of the series of annual cash inflow discounted at the opportunity cost rate of 4% per annum.
This is given in the relationship below:
PV = A ×( 1- (1+r)^(-n))/r )
A- annual amount receivable- 6,200. r-rate of return - 4%, n-number of years- 20
PV = 6,200 × ( 1 - (1+0.04)^(-20)/0.04)
= 6,200 × 13.5903
= $84,260.023
The maximum to be paid= $84,260.023
art E14 is used by M Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 20,000 units of this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: Per Unit Direct materials $ 4.30 Direct labor $ 8.90 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 9.40 Supervisor's salary $ 4.80 Depreciation of special equipment $ 3.20 Allocated general overhead $ 8.40 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $30.30 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part E14 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $32,000 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part E14 from the outside supplier should be:
Answer:
It is more profitable to continue making the product. On this level of production, the company saves $26,000 if it makes the product in-house.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units= 20,000
Per Unit Cost:
Direct materials $4.30
Direct labor $8.90
Variable manufacturing overhead $9.40
Supervisor's salary $4.80
An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $30.30 each.
Rent space= $32,000 per year
We will take into account only the differential costs.
Make in-house:
Total cost= 20,000* (4.3 + 8.9 + 9.4 + 4.8)= $548,000
Buy:
Total cost= 20,000*30.3 - 32,000= $574,000
It is more profitable to continue making the product. On this level of production, the company saves $26,000 if it makes the product in-house.

What is the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded?a) $12,240.b) $9,340.c) $9,780.d) $6,440.
Answer:
The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded is $12,240. Option A
Explanation:
Cash sales = $167,000
Credit sales = $467,000
Selling and administrative expenses = $127,000
Sales returns and allowances = $47,000
Gross profit = $507,000
Accounts receivable = $275,000
Sales discounts = $31,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance = $2,900
Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' = $467,000 × 2%
= $9,240
Credit balance in the allowance account = $2,900
Bad debts expense = Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' + Credit balance in the allowance account
= $9,340 + $2,900
= $12,240
