Johnson and Gomez, Inc. is a small firm involved in the production and sale of electronic business products. The company is well known for its attention to quality and innovation.
During the past 15 months, a new product has been under development that allows users improved access to e-mail and video images. Johnson and Gomez code named the product the Wireless Wizard and has been quietly designing two models: Basic and Enhanced. Development costs have amounted to $183,000 and $264,000, respectively. The total market demand for each model is expected to be 41,000 units, and management anticipates being able to obtain the following market shares: Basic, 20 percent; Enhanced, 15 percent. Forecasted data follow.
Basic Enhanced
Projected Selling Price $350.00 $450.00
Per-unit productions costs:
Direct material 43.00 69.00
Direct labor 23.00 31.00

Sales commissions* 15% 10%
*Computed on the basis of sales dollars.
Since the start of development work on the Wireless Wizard, advances in technology have altered the market somewhat, and management now believes that the company can introduce only one of the two models. Consultants confirmed this fact not too long ago, with Johnson and Gomez paying $34,600 for an in-depth market study. Sales salaries (excluding commission) will be $86,000 no matter which product is sold. The marketing and advertising costs indicated for each product are incurred only if that product is sold. Other fixed overhead is expected to be the same, regardless of which product is introduced.

Allison has a horse stall cleaning business that has been growing rapidly since she started it three years ago. She estimates the total number of horse stalls in her market to be 5000, owned by a total potential population of 1500. Currently, there are only two competitors in the market, Allison, who has 439 stalls that she cleans, and Sam's Hayfaring Maneger, that cleans 1,450 stalls. The remainder of the stalls are cleaned by their owners rather than by a service. Allison prices her cleaning services at $11 per stall per month and Sam charges $8 for the same service. Allison's sales are derived from 136 customers while Sam's are from 54 customers, meaning that Sam's customers have more stalls on a per capita basis.
1. What is the market penetration rate based on potential customers
2. What is Allison's unit market share (based on stalls cleaned)?
3. What are Allison's monthly revenues?
4. What is Allison's revenue market share?
5. What is Allison's relative market share based on units?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. Market penetration rates
For alison = 136 ÷1500 = 9.07%
For Sam = 54 ÷ 1500 = 3.6%
So, Total market penetration based on potential customers is
= 9.07% + 3.6%
= 12.67%
2. alison's unit market share is
= alison's business ÷ total business in market
= 439 ÷ (439 + 1450)
= 23.24%
3. alison's revenue is
= $11 × 439
= $4,829
4 alison's revenue market share is = alison's revenue ÷ total revenue
= $4,829 ÷ ($4,829 + 8 × 1450)
= 29.39%
5 relatve market share is
= alison's market in terms of units ÷ competitor's market share in term of units
= 0.2324 ÷ (1 - 0.2324)
= 30.32%
Sheffield Corp. assigned $1601000 of accounts receivable to Pharoah Company as security for a loan of $1344000. Pharoah charged a 2% commission on the amount of the loan; the interest rate on the note was 9%. During the first month, Sheffield collected $404000 on assigned accounts after deducting $1480 of discounts. Sheffield accepted returns worth $5400 and wrote off assigned accounts totaling $11910. The amount of cash Sheffield received from Pharoah at the time of the assignment was
Answer:
$1,317,120
Explanation:
Cash received by Sheffield Corporation at the time of assignment = Amount borrowed - Commission paid
= $1,344,000 - ($1,344,000 * 2%)
= $1,344,000 - $26,880
= $1,317,120
So, the amount of cash Sheffield received from Pharoah at the time of the assignment was $1,317,120
Assume that a company cannot determine the market value of equipment acquired by reference to a similar purchase for cash. Explain how the company determines the cost of equipment purchased by exchanging it for each of the following 3 items: Bonds having an established market price. Bonds that do not have an established market price. Common stock not having an established market price. Similar equipment having a determinable market value.
Solution :
Let us suppose that a company cannot predict the market value of an equipment that acquired by the reference to the similar purchase for the cash. Thus the company finds cost of purchased of the equipment by exchanging :
-- the market price of the bonds when they have an established price in the market.
-- the market price of the bonds when the common stocks does not have a established market price.
-- market price of the equipment when the similar kind of an equipment have a determinable value in the market.
Crowding-out is the notion that:_________
a. Since tax revenues vary directly with GDP, a rise in the level of GDP will increase the budget surplus and limit expansion
b. Deficit financing will increase the demand for money, increase the interest rate, and reduce the level of investment spending in the economy
c. The standardized budget is the best indicator of whether a budget deficit crowds out investment
d. The actual budget is the best indicator of whether a budget deficit crowds out saving
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The theory of crowding out is that as government spending and borrowing increases, the demand for money would increase. This would lead to an increase in interest rate. As a result, the level of investment spending would decline. The theory submits that increased government spending would drive down private spending
Since EBIT is not necessarily indicative of cash flow, many financial analysts adjust the formulation by: a. adding unpaid taxes to EBIT in the TIE formula b. adding unpaid taxes and interest to EBIT in the formula c. adding depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula d. adding unpaid taxes, interest and depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula
Answer: c. adding depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula
Explanation:
The Times Interest Earned Ratio is used to measure the ease by which a company can pay its interest charges using its earnings before tax.
As depreciation is a non-cash expense, the amount apportioned to depreciation can be used when paying for interest so adding it back to the EBIT ensures that the cash resources of the company are included in the analysis of whether a company can pay back debt.

Variable cost per unit = $780/3,000 = $0.26
Total variable cost at February figures = $4,550 (17,500 * $0.26)
Total fixed costs at February figures = $1,150 ($5,700 - $4,550)
Operating cost equation = $0.26x + $1,150
Operating cost at a volume of 16,000 = $1,150 + $0.26 * 16,000
= $1,150 + 4,160

Kyle, a single taxpayer, worked as a freelance software engineer for the first three months of 2020. During that time, he earned $76,000 of self-employment income. On April 1, 2020, Kyle took a job as a full-time software engineer with one of his former clients, Hoogle Inc. From April through the end of the year, Kyle earned $196,000 in salary. What amount of FICA taxes (self-employment and employment related) does Kyle owe for the year
Answer:
$18,943.40
Explanation:
FICA taxes when Kyle was self employed = $76,000 x 15.3% = $11,628
Social security taxes while employed = ($137,700 - $76,000) x 6.2% = $3,825.40
Medicare taxes while employed = [($200,000 - $76,000) x 1.45%] + [($196,000 + $76,000 - $200,000) x 2.35%] = $1,798 + $1,692 = $3,490
Total FICA taxes = $18,943.40
Two important group outcomes or consequences of the interactive
process that unfolds between a leader, follower, and the situation
include:
Answer:
task performance and group maintenance.
Explanation:
Leadership can be defined as a process which typically involves motivating, encouraging and inspiring employees working under an individual to be innovative and create positive changes that will foster growth and enhance the success of a business firm or company in the future.
This ultimately implies that, beyond an individual possessing the traits or qualities of a leader, leadership in itself is a process that revolves around the activities or happenings between the leader and those who he or she is leading, which are the followers. Thus, leadership is simply a continuous process and it's transactional in nature because it occurs between a leader and the followers.
A leader can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of controlling, managing and maintaining a group of people under him or her.
Some types of power expressed by leaders are referent power, coercive power, etc.
Hence, two important group outcomes or consequences of the interactive process that unfolds between a leader, follower, and the situation include task performance and group maintenance.
Leaders are saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that the follower performs his or her duties or tasks as stated in the contract and to foster cohesion among the various team members.
Hyu Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the company estimated the labor-hours for the upcoming year at 52,400 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $2.82 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,196,840. The actual labor-hours for the year turned out to be 53,000 labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:
Answer:
The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year would be $25.66
Explanation:
The predetermined overhead rate is computed as;
= Total estimated manufacturing overhead / estimated direct labor
Where;
Total estimated manufacturing overhead = Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead + estimated variable manufacturing overhead rate × estimated labor hours
= $1,196,840 + $2.82 × 52,400
= $1,196,840 + $147,768
= $1,344,608
Therefore,
Predetermined rate = $1,344,608 / 52,400 hours
Predetermined rate = $25.66
Mcewan Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on 48,000 direct labor-hours, total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $307,200, and a variable manufacturing overhead rate of $2.80 per direct labor-hour. Job X941, which was for 50 units of a custom product, was recently completed. The job cost sheet for the job contained the following data:
Total direct labor-hours 300
Direct materials $600
Direct labor cost $6,400
Required:
Calculate the selling price for Job X941 if the company marks up its unit product costs by 20%.
Answer:
$234.24 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the selling price for Job X941 is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be determined
The Predetermined overhead rate is
= Variable overhead per DLH + Fixed overhead per DLH
= $2.80 + ($307,200 ÷ 48,000)
= $9.2 per DLH
Now the Total cost of Job X941 is
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Overhead applied
= $600 + $6,400 + (300 × $10)
= $9,760
And, finally
The Selling price per unit of Job X941 is
= Unit product costs × 120%
= ($9,760 ÷ 50) × 120%
= $234.24 per unit

Jenny, who is married and the mother of three, is 25 years old and expects to work until 70. She earns $45,000 per year. Jenny expects inflation to be 3% over her working life, and the appropriate risk-free discount rate is 5%. Her personal consumption is equal to 25% of her after-tax earnings, and her combined federal and state marginal tax bracket is 15%. What is the amount of life insurance necessary for Jenny using the Human Life Value method
Answer:
$855,903.20
Explanation:
Real discounting rate=> i= [i'-f]/[1+f]. Where i is the real interest rate. i' is the nominal interest rate which is given as 5% and f is the rate of inflation
i = (5%-3%)/1+3%)
i = 2/1.3
i = 1.94%
Her after tax earnings = 45,000*(1-0.15) = $38,250
Personal consumption = 25% of this, 38,250*0.75 = $28,688.
We are discounting her earnings back 45 years at 1.94%. The equation will be: 28,688 * {1-(1+0.01940)^-45} / {0.01940}
= 28,688 * {1 - 0.42120322099] / 0.01940
= 28,688 * 29.83488551597938
= 855903.1956824165
= $855,903.20
So, the amount of life insurance necessary for Jenny using the Human Life Value method is $855,903.20

Kaspar Corporation makes a commercial-grade cooking griddle. The following information is available for Kaspar Corporation's anticipated annual volume of 27,900 units.
Per Unit Total
Direct materials $16
Direct labor $10
Variable manufacturing overhead $16
Fixed manufacturing overhead $502,200
Variable selling and administrative expenses $6
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $111,600
The company uses a 40% markup percentage on total cost.
Required:
Compute the total cost per unit.
Answer:
$62.40
Explanation:
Cost per unit = Total manufacturing cost + 40 % markup
therefore
Total manufacturing cost = $16 + $10 + $16 + ($502,200 ÷ 27,900)
= $60
Cost per unit = $60 + ($60 x 40 %)
= $62.40
Conclusion
The total cost per unit is $62.40
National defense is a good that is non excludable and nonrival in consumption. Suppose that, instead of national defense being paid with tax dollars, national defense is paid by voluntary contributions from (potentially) all individuals within Latvia.
Alan, who is a Latvian citizen, must decide whether he wants to contribute to the national defense budget Further, suppose that there are a total of 10 citizens, including Alan. For the optimal amount of safety, each citizen should pay $10. Every $1 contributed (by anyone) to the national defense, leads to increased security, which each person values at $0.25. This means that every dollar spent on defense is worth $2.50 to Latvia as a whole.
Suppose that, instead of relying on voluntary contributions, the government simply levies a tax of $10 on each person to pay for national defense. How much better or worse off would Alan be if everyone (including himself) were taxed $10 instead of contributing voluntarily?
If Alan is worse off, be sure to put a negative sign in front of the number.
Answer:
Alan is better off by $15
Explanation:
the number of citizens in latvia = 10
if citizens were levied $10 each, total amount
= 10*10
=$100
each persons valuation = 100*0.25
= $25
$25 is also Alans valuation sice he is a part of this population.
since he contribited $10, his net gain would be
$25.00 - $10.00
= $15.00
Alan is better of by $15 in the tax system.
The PLM Partnership balance sheet includes the following assets on December 31 of the current year: Basis FMV Cash $ 230,000 $ 230,000 Accounts receivable 0 75,000 Land 70,000 100,000 Total $ 300,000 $ 405,000 Pamela, a 1/3 partner, has an adjusted basis of $100,000 for her partnership interest. If Pamela sells her entire partnership interest to Emma for $135,000 cash, how much capital gain and ordinary income must Pamela recognize from the sale?
Answer: Capital gain recognized = $10000
Ordinary Income recognized = $25000
Explanation:
Since Pamela is a 1/3 partner, we should note that her share of the unrealized receivables will be 1/3 of the unrealized receivables and this will be:
= 1/3 × $75000
= $25000
Therefore, $25,000 of ordinary income will be recognized by Pamela and the capital gain will be:
= $35000 - $25000
= $10,000
b. A Venezuelan-style economic collapse would be less likely in a mixed economy like the United States because
a. corruption is less likely when economic power is more diffused.
b. private industry has strong financial incentives to produce efficiently.
c. mixed economies like the United States usually have a more equal distribution of income.
d. inflation is always low in a mixed economy.
Answer:
a. corruption is less likely when economic power is more diffused. b. private industry has strong financial incentives to produce efficiently.Explanation:
Venezuela is a planned / command economy which means that the government directs production of goods and services in the country. This can lead to corruption as those in government would become quite powerful and engage in activities that would make them richer at the expense of the nation because they will have the required access to do so.
As the government directs most things, there is less private industry and competition. With a lack of competition, companies will not see the need to compete and would end up being inefficient.
These are what happened in Venezuela.
If a firm offers a service that is valuable, rare, and costly to imitate, but a substitute exists for the service, the firm will: a. achieve competitive parity. b. have a competitive disadvantage. c. have a temporary competitive advantage. d. gain a sustainable competitive advantage.
Answer:
c. have a temporary competitive advantage
Explanation:
In this case, it is correct to say that the company has a temporary competitive advantage, as there is a substitute for its valuable, rare and expensive service to imitate.
The company gained a competitive advantage in the market for being the only one to offer that service, which by the attributes confer barriers of entry for new competitors, but when there is a substitute for the service and that have the same characteristics, it is correct to say that the company it will lose its competitive advantage in a matter of time, because with more competitors in the market it is common for there to be some loss of market share, so in this case it is ideal for the company to adapt and seek new attributes to innovate, generate more value for consumers and so seek a differential that will guarantee you a higher position in the market.

w.1: Materials purchased = Fabric + Polyester filling + Lumber + Glue = $820,000 + $315,000 + $555,000 + $80,000 = $1,770,000
w.2: Work in process = Materials - Factory overhead = $1,747,600 - $83,600 = $1,664,000
RideShare offers short-term rentals of vehicles that are kept in small lots in urban neighborhoods with plenty of potential customers. With one lot, it has six cars. The interarrival time of potential demand for this lot from its base of customers is 20 minutes. The average rental period is 4 hours. If a customer checks availability of vehicles in this lot online and finds that they are all rented for the desired time, the customer skips renting and finds alternative arrangements. However, because customers pay a monthly fee to subscribe to this service, RideShare does not want customers to be disappointed too often.
Required:
a. What is the offered load?
b. What is the implied utilization?
c. What is the capacity of the process (rentals per hour)?
d. What is the probability that all eight cars are rented at the same time?
Answer:
a. Offered load = 1 lot / 4 hours = 6 cars/4 hours = 1.5 cars/hours
b. Demand rate = Total cars per 4 hours/20 minutes time
Demand rate = 6*4 / 20
Demand rate = 24/20
Demand rate = 1.2 cars/hours
Implied utilization = Demand rate / Offered load
Implied utilization = 1.2/1.5
Implied utilization = 0.8
Implied utilization = 80%
c. Capacity of the process = 1 lot / 5 hours
Capacity of the process = 6 / 5
Capacity of the process = 1.2 rentals per hours
d. Probability that all eight cars are rented at the same time
=> (1 - 0.8) * (0.8)^8
=> 0.2 * 0.1678
=> 0.03356
=> 3.36

Assume that [tex]r_1[/tex] will be a 12-month for the spot rate:
[tex]\to 1.25 \% \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(1.25\% \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to \frac{1.25}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(\frac{1.25}{100} \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to \frac{1.25}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(\frac{1.25}{2} +100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{( 0.625 +100)}{(\frac{2+r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{( 100.625)}{(\frac{2+r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}=98\\\\[/tex]
[tex]\to 0.61875 + \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 -98 = \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}\\\\\to -97.38125= \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}\\\\\to (2+r_1)^2= \frac{402.5}{ -97.38125}\\\\\to (2+r_1)^2= -4.13\\\\ \to r_1=3.304\%[/tex]
Assume that [tex]r_2[/tex] will be a 18-month for the spot rate:
[tex]\to 1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99+1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{3.300\%}{2})^2}+\frac{(1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to \frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99+\frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{\frac{3.300}{100}}{2})^2}+\frac{(\frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\[/tex]
[tex]\to \frac{1.5}{2} \times 0.99+\frac{1.5}{2}\times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{\frac{3.300}{100}}{2})^2}+\frac{(\frac{1.5}{2} +100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 0.7425+0.75 \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{\frac{3.300}{100}}{2})^2}+\frac{(0.75 +100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4925 \times \frac{1}{(1+0.0165)^2}+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4925 \times \frac{1}{(1.033)}+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\[/tex]
[tex]\to 1.4925 \times 0.96+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4328+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4328-97= \frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}\\\\\to -95.5672= \frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}\\\\\to (1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3= -1.054\\\\\to r_2=3.577\%[/tex]
Assume that [tex]r_3[/tex] will be a 18-month for the spot rate:
