Hordel Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Hordel expects to sell 6,100 units and wants a target profit of $93 per unit. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 80 Variable administrative cost per unit 35 Total fixed overhead 53,000 Total fixed administrative 11,050 Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Total variable cost = Variable product cost + Variable administrative cost per unit
= (6,100 × $80 per unit) + (6,100 × $35)
= $488,000 + $213,500
= $701,500
Total fixed cost = Total fixed overhead + Total fixed administrative cost
= $53,000 + $11,050
= $64,050
Total fixed cost per unit = $64,050 ÷ 6,100 = $10.5
Total cost = Total variable cost + Total fixed cost
= $701,500 + $64,050
= $765,550
Target profit = 6,100 × $93 = $567,300
Desired selling price = Total cost + Target profit
= $765,550 + $567,300
= $1,332,850
Desired selling price per unit = $1,332,850 ÷ 6,100 = $218.5
Therefore,
Markup percentage on variable cost
= [(Desired selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ÷ Variable cost per unit] × Variable cost per unit
= [($218.5 - 115) ÷ (115)] × 115
= 103.5%

Aardvark Enterprises has agreed to be acquired by Lawson Products in exchange for $16,000 worth of Lawson Products stock. Lawson has 1,100 shares of stock outstanding at a price of $15 a share. Aardvark has 1,700 shares outstanding with a market value of $21 a share. The incremental value of the acquisition is $3,800. What is the value of Lawson Products after the merger? $51,520 $41,440 $56,000 $49,280 $44,800
Answer: $56000
Explanation:
The value of Lawson Products after the merger will be calculated thus:
Number of shares = 1100
Price of share = $15
Value of Lawson share = $16500
Number of shares = 1700
Price of share = $21
Value of Aardvark share = $35700
Market value of both firms will be:
= $16500 + $35700
= $52200
We then less incremental earnings from the market value and this will be:
= $52200 + $3800
= $56000
Therefore, the value of Lawson Products after the merger is $56000
Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 204,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 156,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $100 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 24,000 tires for $86.5 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:
Direct materials $54
Direct labor 24
Factory overhead (62% variable) 24
Selling and administrative expenses (44% variable) 25
Total $127.00
Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 4% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $7.65 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $165,424.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 21 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors.
b. Determine whether the company should reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors
c. What is the minimum price per unit that would be financially acceptable to Brightstone?
Answer:
Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company
a. Differential Analysis dated January 21
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Reject Accept
Revenue from special order ($2,076,000) $2,076,000
Avoidable costs 2,493,120 2,831,520
Cost Differential ($417,120) ($755,520)
b. The company should reject the special order from Euro Motors as it will incur more costs when it accepts than when it rejects the special order.
c. The minimum price per unit that would be financially acceptable to Brightstone is $117.98.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production capacity in tires = 204,000
Current production and sales units = 156,000
Selling price per tire for the North American market = $100
Special order of 24,000 tires from Euro Motors = $86.50 per tire
Total cost per tire: Total Variable
Direct materials $54 $54
Direct labor 24 24
Factory overhead (62% variable) 24 14.88
Selling and administrative expenses (44% variable) 25 11
Total $127.00 $103.88
Special Order:
Offer price = $86.50
Reject Accept
Variable cost per unit $103.88 $2,493,120
Less selling commission (0.44)
Additional shipping cost 7.65
Cost of certification 6.89
Total per unit costs = $117.98 $2,813,520
Operating income (loss) ($31.48)
Sunland Company had the following department data: Physical Units Work in process, beginning 0 Completed and transferred out 90900 Work in process, ending 7800 Materials are added at the beginning of the process. What is the total number of equivalent units for materials during the period?
Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 98,700
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Physical Units Work in process, beginning 0
Completed and transferred out 90,900
Work in process, ending 7,800
Materials are added at the beginning of the process.
To calculate the equivalent units, we need to use the following formula:
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= 0 + 90,900 + 7,800*1
Equivalent units of production= 98,700
Because the materials are added at the beginning of the process, the percentage of completion is 100%.
Eric works at an electronics store in a mall. Eric doesn't like to work hard, and it costs him $100 to do so. Eric's employer cannot observe whether Eric works hard. If Eric works hard, there is a 90% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day and a 10% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $100 a day. If Eric shirks, there is a 90% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $100 a day and a 10% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day. Suppose Eric is paid $200 if electronics goods profits are $400 a day and $50 if electronics goods profits are $100 a day. Eric will _____ because the net gain of _____ from shirking is _____ than the net gain of _____ from working hard.
Answer: work hard; $65; less; $85
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
The Expected profit from working hard will be:
= (90% × $200) + (10% × $50)
= (0.9 × $200) + (0.1 × $50)
= $180 + $5
= $185
Then, the profit will be the difference between revenue and coat which will be:
= $185 - $100
= $85
Then, the expected profit from shirking will be:
= (90% × $50) + (10% × $200)
= (0.90 × $50) + (0.10 × $200)
= $45 + $20
= $65
Then, the profit will be:
= $65 - $0
= $65
Eric will (work hard) because the net gain of ($65) from shirking is (less) than the net gain of ($85) from working hard.
Thomas believes that he has an NOL for the current year and wants to carry it back to a previous year and receive a tax refund.

To combat a recession with discretionary fiscal policy, Congress and the president should A) decrease government spending to balance the budget. C) lower interest rates and increase investment by increasing the money supply. B) decrease taxes to increase consumer disposable income. D) raise taxes on interest and dividends, but not on personal income.
Answer:
B) decrease taxes to increase consumer disposable income.
Explanation:
Recession can be defined as a period of economic meltdown, in which there's a general decline in all economic activities such as trade.
Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.
A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.
Furthermore, if during a severe recession, Congress passes legislation to cut taxes, this would be an example of an expansionary fiscal policy.
According to the Keynesian theory, government spending or expenditures should be increased and taxes should be lowered when faced with a recession, in order to create employment and boost the buying power of consumers
Hence, to combat a recession with discretionary fiscal policy, Congress and the president should decrease taxes to increase consumer disposable income.
Your financial investments consist of U.S. government bonds maturing in twenty years and shares in a start-up internet company. If interest rates on newly-issued government bonds increase, then the price of your bonds will _____ and the price of the shares you own will _____.
Answer:
Decrease, Decrease
Explanation:
From the question we are informed about my financial investments which consist of U.S. government bonds maturing in twenty years and shares in a start-up internet company. In the case whereby the interest rates on newly-issued government bonds increase, then the price of my bonds will decrease and the price of the shares you own will decrease. Financial investment can be regarded as asset which one put money on hoping that there will be growth of the asset and the asset will appreciate to sum of money larger than the asset. Bond is an example of this, a bond can be explained as fixed income instrument which is a representation of a loan that is set up by an investor given out to a borrower. This borrower could be governmental or Corporate.
The Owners of bonds could be
debtholders as well as creditors of the firm that issue it i.e the issuer. Details of bonds is " end date"
On January 1, Year 1, Eureka Company issued $290,000 of 4-year, 5% bonds at face value. The annual cash payment for interest is due on January 1 of each year beginning January 1, Year 2. Based on this information, what is the total amount of liabilities related to these bonds that will be reported on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 1
Answer:
$304,500
Explanation:
Interest payable on December 31, year 1 = $290,000 * 5%
Interest payable on December 31, year 1 = $14,500
Total amount of liabilities to be reported on the Balance Sheet, year 1:
= $290,000 + $14,500
= $304,500
So, the total amount of liabilities related to these bonds that will be reported on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 1 is $304,500.
Rock Adventures has 15 employees each working 40 hours per week and earning $30 an hour. Federal income taxes are withheld at 15% and state income taxes at 6%. FICA taxes are 7.65% and unemployment taxes are 3.8% of the first $7,000 earned per employee. What is the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January
Answer:
the actual direct deposit payroll is $12,843
Explanation:
The computation of the actual direct deposit payroll is shown below;
= Total salary - withholdings
= (15 × 40 × $30) - Federal income tax - state income tax - FICA tax
= $18,000 - ($18,000 × 0.15) - ($18,000 × 0.06) - ($18,000 × 7.65%)
= $12,843
Hence, the actual direct deposit payroll is $12,843

Indiana Co. began a construction project in 2021 with a contract price of $162 million to be received when the project is completed in 2023. During 2021, Indiana incurred $40 million of costs and estimates an additional $84 million of costs to complete the project. Indiana recognizes revenue over time and for this project recognizes revenue over time according to the percentage of the project that has been completed.
Suppose that, in 2022, Indiana incurred additional costs of $65 million and estimated an additional $52 million in costs to complete the project. Indiana (Do not round your percentage calculated):
A) Recognized $8.91 million gross profit on the project in 2022.
B) Recognized $11.91 million gross profit on the project in 2022.
C) Recognized $3.00 million loss on the project in 2022.
D) Recognized $8.91 million loss on the project in 2022.
Answer:
D) Recognized $8.91 million loss on the project in 2022.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For Year 2021:
Percentage of work completed in the year 2021 is
= $40 ÷ ($40 + $84)× 100
= $40 ÷ $124 × 100
= 32.26%
Profit on the contract is
= Contract price - Already incurred cost - Expected cost
= $162 - $40 - $84
= $38
Profit to be recognized in the year 2016 is
= profit × percentage of completion
= $38 × 32.26%
= $12.256
For Year 2022:
Percentage of work completed in the year 2017 is
= ($40 + $65) ÷ ($40 + $65 + $52)
= $105 ÷ $157 × 100
= 66.88%
Profit on the contract is
= Contract price - Already incurred cost - Expected cost
= $162 - $40 - $65 - $52
= $5
Profit that should be recognized till the year 2017 is
= profit × percentage of completion
= $5 × 66.88%
= $3.344
Profit to be recognized in the year 2017 is
= $3.344 - $12.256
= 8.91 million loss

What is the cost of the machine
Answer:
$94,020
Explanation:
Calculation for the cost of the machine using the formula below:
Cost of the machine = New stamping machine - (New stamping machine × Discount percentage) + Transportation + Sales tax + Installation
= $87,000 - ($87,000 × 5%) + $3,000 + $6,520 + $1,850
= $87,000 - $4,350 + $3,000 + $6,520 + $1,850
= $94,020
Therefore, cost of the machine is $94,020
Starling Co. is considering disposing of a machine with a book value of $24,600 and estimated remaining life of five years. The old machine can be sold for $5,700. A new high-speed machine can be purchased at a cost of 65,300. It will have a useful life of five years and no residual value. It is estimated that the annual variable manufacturing costs will be reduced from $23,300 to $19,600 if the new machine is purchased. The five-year differential effect on profit from replacing the machine is a(n)
Answer:
The answer is "decrease of $41,100".
Explanation:
5-year cost-saving =[tex](23300-19600)\times 5 = \$18,500[/tex]

Differential effect on income = cost savings for 5 years +Sale value of old machine - purchase cost of the new machine
[tex]= 18500+ 5700 - 65300\\\\= - 41,100[/tex]
The Cluck-Cluck Corp. starts the year with a beginning inventory of 480 units at $23 per unit. The company purchases 590 units at $40 each in February and 560 units at $24 each in October. Cluck-Cluck sells 240 units during the year. Cluck-Cluck has a periodic inventory system and uses the FIFO inventory costing method. What is the amount of cost of goods sold
Answer:
the amount of the cost of goods sold is $5,520
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below;
= Unit sold × beginning inventory cost per unit
= 240 units × $23
= $5,520
By multiplying the unit sold with the beginning inventory cost per unit we can get the cost of goods sold
Hence, the amount of the cost of goods sold is $5,520

Assume that a profit-maximizing firm which competes in a purely competitive product industry has only two factor inputs, labor and capital, and that resource prices remain constant. This firm finds that the marginal revenue product of labor (MRP) when divided by the price for labor (MRC) is less than one. The firm also finds that the marginal revenue product for capital (MRP) when divided by the price (MRC) is greater than one. If this firm wishes to produce the same amount of output with these two resources, but minimize the cost of output, this firm must employ:________
a. less labor and more capital
b. more capital
c. more labor and capital
d. less labor
e. more labor and less capital
Answer: a. less labor and more capital
Explanation:
When the Marginal Revenue Product of Labor (MRP) is divided by the price for labor (MRC), the result is less than 1. This means that for every dollar spent on labor, labor produces less than a dollar. The labor is therefore not efficient.
This is the reverse for capital where the marginal revenue product for capital (MRP) when divided by the price (MRC) is greater than one which means that for every dollar investment in capital, more than a dollar is made.
As capital is more efficient, it would make sense to invest more in capital whilst reducing the investment in labor as this would lead to more gain for the company.
The political business cycle refers to Group of answer choices the fact that about every four years some politician advocates greater government control of the Fed. the potential for a central bank to increase the money supply and therefore real GDP to help the incumbent get re-elected. the part of the business cycle caused by the reluctance of politicians to smooth the business cycle. changes in output created by the monetary rule the Fed must follow.
Answer:
the potential for a central bank to increase the money supply and therefore real GDP to help the incumbent get re-elected.
Explanation:
A political business cycle can be defined as a business cycle that typically arises from the manipulation and tweaking of economic policy tools such as fiscal policy and monetary policy by incumbent (serving) politicians, in order to stimulate and enhance the economy of a particular country before an election. Thus, this would go a long way to boost the chances of the candidate representing the particular political party and reelection into office by the people.
Hence, the political business cycle refers to the potential for a central bank to increase the money supply and therefore real GDP to help the incumbent get re-elected.
The Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.
Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country.
Basically, the four (4) major expenditure categories of GDP are consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), and net exports (N).
Additionally, Gross Domestic Products (GDP) of a country's economy gives an insight to it's social well-being such as Real GDP.
Given the following information, calculate the debt coverage ratio for this investment. Potential gross income: $120,000, Vacancy rate: 9%, Net operating income: $57,900, Operating expenses: $51,300, Acquisition Price: $520,000, Debt service: $40,000.
Answer:
the debt coverage ratio is 1.4475 times
Explanation:
The computation of the debt coverage ratio is shown below;
The Debt coverage ratio for investment is
= net operating income ÷ Total debt
= $57,900 ÷ $40,000
= 1.4475 times
BY dividing the net operating income by the total debt we can get the debt coverage ratio
hence, the debt coverage ratio is 1.4475 times
Tech Solutions is a consulting firm that uses a job-order costing system. Its direct materials consist of hardware and software that it purchases and installs on behalf of its clients. The firm’s direct labor includes salaries of consultants that work at the client’s job site, and its overhead consists of costs such as depreciation, utilities, and insurance related to the office headquarters as well as the office supplies that are consumed serving clients.

Compute the total job cost for the Xavier Company engagement. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Direct materials
Direct labor
Overhead applied
Total manufacturing cost
Answer:
1. $9.50 per Direct labor hour
2. $69,750
Explanation:
1. Computation for the predetermined overhead rate
First step is to calculate the Total Estimated overhead cost
Variable overhead cost $36,250
(72,500 Direct labor hours *$ 0.50 )
Add Fixed overhead cost $652,500
Total Estimated overhead cost $688,750
Now let calculate the predetermined overhead rate
Using this formula
Predetermined overhead rate = Total estimated overhead cost / Total estimated direct labor hours
Let plug in the formula
Predetermined overhead rate = $688,750 / 72,500
Predetermined overhead rate = $9.50 per Direct labor hour
Therefore Predetermined overhead rate will be $9.50 per Direct labor hour
2. Computation for the total job cost for the Xavier company Engagement
Direct Materials $43,500
Direct Labor $ 23,400
Overhead applied $2,850
(300 Direct labor * $9.50 )
Total Manufacturing cost $69,750
Therefore total job cost for the Xavier Company engagement will be $69,750

Based on the Marshall Laws of Derived Demand, labor demand is more inelastic when a. workers are making a product that uses a highly labor intensive technology b. workers are making a product with more inelastic demand c. workers are making a product that uses a capital input with elastic supply d. workers are making a product that uses a technology with a fixed labor-capital ratio
Answer:
b
Explanation:
According to Marshall Laws of Derived Demand, labor demand is more inelastic in the following circumstances :
the cost of employing labour constitutes a small proportion of the total cost of production.the demand for the product is relatively inelasticlabour cannot be easily substituted for in the production processwhen the supply of other factors of production is inelastic
