Net profit margin = $16,060/$32,000 * 100 = 50.19%
4b. The net profit margin is better than the 30.0% earned by a close competitor.
Explanation:
The adjustment for Electric Utility does not form part of the adjusted trial balance. If we assume that the payment was eventually made on April 30, the Cash Balance will reduce by $1,560 and the total expenses will increase by the same amount with an equal reduction in the net income to $14,500. This will also reduce the net profit margin to 45.31%.

The distance between defects in an automated weaving process at Craft Mills, Inc. is exponentially distributed. On average there are 0.025 defects per foot. Use the random number 0.749 to simulate the distance between two defects. Give your answer to 3 decimal places. (Note: For this problem, the average (represented by tau) would be the average distance (in feet) between defects.)
Answer:
55.292 feets
Explanation:
Given that :
Average defect per foot, λ = 0.025
Random number generated = 0.791
Distance between two defects :
b(x) = 1 - e^-λx = random number
1 - e^-λx = 0.749
e^-λx = 0.749 - 1
λ = 0.025
e^-0.025x = - 0.251
Take the In of both sides ;
-0.025x = - ln(0.251)
0.025x = In(0.251)
x = In(0.251) / 0.025
x = 1.382302 / 0.025
x = 55.29209
x = 55.292 feets
Hence, distance between two defects is 55.292 feets
Avery Corporation's target capital structure is 35% debt, 10% preferred, and 55% common equity. The interest rate on new debt is 6.50%, the yield on the preferred is 6.00%, the cost of common from reinvested earnings is 11.25%, and the tax rate is 25%. The firm will not be issuing any new common stock. What is Avery's WACC
Answer:
8.15%
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted average cost of capital as follows;
= After Cost of debt × weightage of debt + cost of preferred stock × weight of preferred stock + cost of common equity × weight of equity
= 6.50% × (1 - 0.40) × 35 ÷ 100 + 6% × 10 ÷ 100 + 11.25% × 55 ÷ 100
= 1.37% + 0.60% + 6.19%
= 8.15%

Managers of the company have an intuitive feel regarding the financial benefits associated with a change to JIT, but they would like to have some data to inform their decision making in this regard. You are provided with the following data:
Item ExistingSituation AfterAdopting JIT
Manufacturing costs as percentage of sales:
Product-level support 15 % 4 %
Variable manufacturing overhead 28 10
Direct materials 30 20
Direct manufacturing labor 20 13
Other financial data:
Sales revenue $ 1,430,000 $ 1,810,000
Inventory of WIP 260,000 46,000
Other data:
Manufacturing cycle time 60 days 30 days
Inventory financing costs (per annum) 10 % 10 %
Required:
As the management accountant for the company, prepare an estimate the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT. Specifically, what is the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation?
Answer:
A. $74,100 $954,700
B. $880,600
Explanation:
A. Preparation to estimate the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT
Current situation After JIT
Sales 1,430,000 1,810,000
Less costs
Production level support 214,500 72,400
(15%*1,430,000=214,500)
(4%*1,810,000=72,400)
Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 181,000
(28%*1,430,000=400,400)
(10%*1,810,000=181,000)
Direct material 429,000 362,000
(30%*1,430,000=429,000)
(20%*1,810,000=362,000)
Direct manufacturing labor 286,000 235,300
(20%*1,430,000=286,000)
(13%*1,810,000=235,300)
Inventory financing costs 26,000 4,600
(10%*260,000=26,000)
(10%*46,000=4,600)
Total costs 1,355,900 855,300
Operating profits $74,100 $954,700
(1,430,000-1,355,900)
(1,810,000-855,300)
Therefore the the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT will be $74,100 $954,700
B. Preparation for the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation
Current situation After JIT Change
Sales 1,430,000-1,810,000=-380,000
Less costs
Production level support 214,500-72,400 =142,100
Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 -181,000=219,400
Direct material 429,000-362,000=67,000
Direct manufacturing labor 286,000- 235,300= 50,700
Inventory financing costs 26,000-4,600 =21,400
Total costs 1,355,900-855,300=500,600
Operating profits 74,100-954,700=880,600
Therefore the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation will be 880,600

Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering purchasing a $100,000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. She is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. However, the Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct any state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering whether to purchase a $100, 000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. Tammy is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct all state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.If required, round your computations and answers to the nearest dollar. Determine the after tax income from each bond. Virginia Bond: $ 4, 600 North Carolina Bond: $ 4, 451 Which of the two options will provide the greater after-tax return to Tammy? Virginia bond
Solution :
Assuming that the bond amount is $100,000.
After the tax income from the Virginia bond is given by:
= 100,000 x 4.5%
= $ 4500
After the income tax from the North Carolina bond :
= (100,000 x 4.6%) x (1-5%) + (100,000 x 4.6% x 5% x 0.35)
= $ 4451
Therefore the Virginia bond will give an after tax higher return.
I have a group of friends. One thing we have in common is that we all want a Tesla Model 3. We can all afford to buy a Tesla Model 3. However, we are all unwilling to pay the current price for a Tesla Model 3. Thus, my group of friends are not this:_______.
a. cool in any sense of the word
b. a market of potential Tesla customers
c. a positioning market group
d. a useful segmenting base
Answer:
b. a market of potential Tesla customers
Explanation:
As given all friend afford to buy a Tesla Model 3 and unwilling to pay the current price so group of friends is a market of potential Tesla customersA potential market is a group of people from the entire population who show some interest in buying a particular product or service. so correct option is b. a market of potential Tesla customersA rational buyer will: buy a product until the marginal benefit of consuming the product is less than the price of the product. buy the product only when the marginal benefit of consuming the product is twice as much as the price of the product. not consider costs versus benefits when purchasing a product. keep buying a product until marginal benefit equals price.
Answer:
keep buying a product until marginal benefit equals price
Explanation:
A rational consumer would continue to consume a product until the marginal benefit of the last unit consumed equal marginal cost. At this point, utility is maximised.
For example, if the price of a bottle of water is $4. The utility you derive from the first bottle is 6. So you consume one more bottle, the utility you derive from the second bottle is 5. you buy a third bottle. The utility you derive from the 3rd bottle is 4. At this point utility is maximised and you should stop consuming more water
If you consume a 4th bottle, the utility you would derive from it would be 3 utils. This doesn't make sense because you are paying more for the bottle when compared to the utility you would derive from it
(b) The citizens of this country are in general very clever people, but they are not good at multiplying by 2. This made shopping for potatoes excruciatingly difficult for many citizens. Therefore it was decided to introduce a new unit of currency, such that potatoes would be the numeraire. A sack of potatoes costs one unit of the new currency while the same relative prices apply as in the past. In terms of the new currency, what is the price of meatballs
Answer: 2 sacks of potatoes
Explanation:
In the past, meatballs cost 4 crowns per crock which was twice the price of Potatoes at 2 crowns per sack.
Now that potatoes were are the new currency but relative prices apply, the same notion above applies too.
If meatballs are twice the price of potatoes and potatoes are now the currency, then meatballs which are still twice the price of potatoes must be:
= 2 * 1 sack of potatoes
= 2 sacks of potatoes

Explanation:
Washtenaw Corporation uses a job-order costing system. The following data are for last year: Estimated Direct Labor Hours 14,000 Estimated Machine Hours 12,000 Estimated Manufacturing Overhead Cost $42,600 Actual Direct Labor Hours 11,000 Actual Machine Hours 13,000 Actual Manufacturing Overhead Cost $39,000 Washtenaw applies overhead using a predetermined rate based on direct labor-hours. What predetermined overhead rate was used last year
Answer:
$3.25 per direct labor-hour
Explanation:
Calculation for predetermined overhead rate was used last year
Predetermined overhead rate = $39,000 ÷ 12,000 direct labor-hours
Predetermined overhead rate= $3.25 per direct labor-hour
Therefore the predetermined overhead rate was used last year was $3.25 per direct labor-hour
Everlast Co. manufactures a variety of drill bits. The company's plant is partially automated. The budget for the year includes $432,000 payroll for 4,800 direct labor-hours. Listed below is cost driver information used in the product-costing system:
Overhead Cost Pool Budgeted Overhead Cost Driver Estimated Cost Driver Level
Machine setups $120,000 # of setups 120 setups
Materials handling 104,400 # of barrels 8,700 barrels
Quality control 264,000 # of inspections 1,100 inspections
Other overhead cost 144,000 # of machine hours 12,000 machine hours
Total overhead $632,400
A current product order has the following requirements:
Machine setups 8 setups
Materials handling 606 barrels
Quality inspections 80 inspections
Machine hours 830 machine hours
Direct labor hour 336 hours
Using ABC, how much other overhead is assigned to the order?
a. $9,960.
b. $8,000.
c. $11,108.
d. $45,992.
e. $19,200.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information
Payroll = $432,000 ÷ 4,800 = $90 per hour
Setup = $120,000 / 120 = $1,000 per setup
Material handling barrel = $104,400 / 8,700 = $11.95 per barrel
Quality control inspection = $264,000 / 1,100 = $240 per inspection
Overhead = $144,000 / 12,000 = $12 per machine hour
Details of the current product requirement
8 setup = 8 × $1,000 = $8,000
606 barrels = 606 × $11.95 = $7,242
80 inspections = 80 × $240 = $19,200
830 machine hours = 830 × $12 = $9,960
336 labor hours = 336 × $90 = $30,240
Total overhead assigned to order = $74,642
Magazine sells subscriptions for $60 for 30 issues. The company collects cash in advance and then mails out the magazines to subscribers each month. Apply the revenue recognition principle to determine a. when Seacoast Magazine should record revenue for this situation. b. the amount of revenue Seacoast Magazine should record for five issues.
Answer:
a. Revenue is earned when when service or product are delivered to client. Thus Seacoast Magazine should recognize the revenue when it mails the magazines to its subscribers.
b. Total amount received is $60 for 30 issues.
Amount for 1 issues = Total cost / Number of issues of magazines = $60/30 = $2 per issue
Amount of 5 issues = $2 * 5 = $10
Therefore, Seacoast Magazine should record revenue $10 for 5 issues.

Conversion cost is added evenly throughout the process. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the first process. During November, the first process transferred 780,000 units of product to the second process. Additional information for the first process follows. At the end of November, work in process inventory consists of 185,000 units that are 50% complete with respect to conversion. Beginning work in process inventory had $188,175 of direct materials and $196,313 of conversion cost. The direct material cost added in November is $1,259,325, and the conversion cost added is $3,729,937. Beginning work in process consisted of 76,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion. Of the units completed, 76,000 were from beginning work in process and 704,000 units were started and completed during the period. Required: For the first process: 1. Determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion.
Answer:
Direct materials = 965,000 units Conversion = 872,500 units
Explanation:
a. Direct materials
Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process so ending EUP is 100% in respect to EUP.
EUP Direct materials = Finished goods + Closing EUP
= 780,000 + 185,000
= 965,000 units
b. Conversion
= Finished goods + Closing EUP
= 780,000 + (0.50 * 185,000)
= 780,000 + 92,500
= 872,500 units

The gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States is defined as the market value of allfinal goods and services produced within the United States in a given period of time. Based on this definition, indicate which of the following transactions will be included in (that is, directly increase) the GDP of the United States in 2018.
a. An accountant starts a client's 2018 tax return on April 14, 2019, finishing it just before midnight on April 15, 2019. Chocolate Express, a Swiss chocolate company, produces a chocolate bar at a plant in Illinois on December 5, 2018.
b. An elementary school student buys the chocolate bar on December 24. Rotato, a U.S. tire company, produces a set of tires at a plant in Michigan on September 13, 2018. It sells the set of tires to Speedmaster for use in the production of a two-door coupe that will be made in the United States in 2018. (Note: Focus exclusively on whether production of the set of tires increases GDP directly, and ignore the effect of production of the two-door coupe on GDP.)
c. Zippycar, a U.S. automobile company, produces a convertible at a manufacturing plant in Minneapolis on January 9, 2018. It sells the car at a dealership in San Diego on February 24, 2018.
d. Athleticus, a U.S. shoe company, produces a pair of sneakers at a plant in Vietnam on March 17, 2018. Athleticus imports the pair of sneakers into the United States on May 21, 2018.
Answer:
Chocolate Express, a Swiss chocolate company, produces a chocolate bar at a plant in Illinois on December 5, 2018.
b. An elementary school student buys the chocolate bar on December 24..
c. Zippycar, a U.S. automobile company, produces a convertible at a manufacturing plant in Minneapolis on January 9, 2018. It sells the car at a dealership in San Diego on February 24, 2018.
d. Athleticus, a U.S. shoe company, produces a pair of sneakers at a plant in Vietnam on March 17, 2018. Athleticus imports the pair of sneakers into the United States on May 21, 2018.
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
The accountant's work would be included in 2019's GDP
The chocolate purchase would be included in GDP as part of consumption expenditure
Tire is an intermediate good in this question and would not be included in GDP
The purchase of the shoe from Vietnam would have no effect on GDP because it decreases net export

Which part/phrase in the passage hints at a disadvantage that Gary suffers as a franchisee?
Gary entered a franchise contract with a manufacturing company a year back.
He has to sell the company's products under its trademark. He
has been learning the company's management techniques as per the contract.
He cannot pitch new ideas to his franchisor since the contract
restricts his creativity and independence.
He has to pay royalties and a small percentage of his sales revenue to the franchisor every month.
Answer:
I believe it is "He cannot pitch new ideas to his franchisor since the contract
restricts his creativity and independence." because he can't help his business grow when he can't make new ideas.

On December 1st, the company pays a local radio station $200,000 for 4 months of radio ads that are to be aired equally throughout December through March. Prepaid Advertising was debited on December 1st and no other entries regarding this transaction were made since then.
15. $ After the adjusting entry has been recorded on December 31", determine the amount of advertising expense for the year ended December 314 16. S After the adjusting entry has been recorded on December 31%, determine the ending balance in the prepaid advertising account that should be recorded on the December 31" Balance Sheet. Use the following transactions to answer questions
17-19 Determine the amount of revenue or expense that would be reported at the time of the transaction under the two methods. An example transaction has been completed for you.
Question Completion:
Journalize the adjusting entry.
Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entry:
December 31:
Debit Advertising Expense $50,000
Credit Prepaid Advertising $50,000
To record the advertising expense for the year (1 month's).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 1: Prepaid Advertising for 4 months = $200,000
Advertising expense for the year (1 month) = $50,000 ($200,000/4 months)
Balance of Prepaid Advertising for 3 months = $150,000 ($200,000 *3/4)
b) The Adjusting Journal entry recognizes the advertising expense that relates to the year and carry forward the prepaid balance to the next accounting year. Expenses and revenue are recorded when the services are consumed or rendered and not when cash is exchanged. In this case, the $200,000 is not recognized as advertising expense for the current year. Instead, only $50,000 is recorded as expense. The balance of $150,000 is carried forward to the next year when the service will be consumed.
Starbucks opened its first store in Seoul, Korea in October 2002. The price of a tall vanilla latte is 3,000 Korean Won. In New York City, the price of a tall vanilla latte is $3.00. The exchange rate between Korean Won and U.S. dollars is Won 1,150/$. According to purchasing power parity, is the Korean Won overvalued or undervalued
Answer:
The Korean Won is undervalued
Explanation:
The Korean Won is undervalued if we determine this measure by comparing the prices of the vanilla latte at a Korean Starbucks and at an American Starbucks.
If purchasing power parity was perfectly equal, the latte at the Seoul Starbucks would be priced at $3,450, because the exchange rate is 1,150/$ and $3 x 1,1150 = 3,450, $3 being the price of the latte in New York City.
We can see that the latte in Seoul only costs 3,000 Won, so, under this comparison, the Won is undervalued by 450 Won.
Money management includes effective tax planning. Your financial plan should include ways to lower your tax liability so you have more money to spend, invest, or donate.

If producing 200 buttons and 200 safety pins
daily is a 50% split of resources, where do we
see the opportunity cost if you decide to
produce 300 buttons and 100 safety pins?
A. The opportunity cost is still at 50%.
B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
C. The opportunity cost is in the inefficiency of producing to
products.
D. The opportunity cost is in the market share for buttons.
Answer:
The correct option is - B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.

Reason -
Initially we produce 200 buttons and 200 safety pins and there are 50% split of resources.
Now, If we produce 300 buttons and 100 safety pins and there is no change in the split of resources, then
The opportunity cost of extra 100 buttons is sale amount we would have been getting if we make that 100 safety pins.
