Hyde Boats purchased machinery on January 1 at a list price of $295,000, with credit terms 3/10, n/30. Payment was made within the discount period. Hyde Boats paid $17,700 sales tax on the machinery, and paid installation charges of $3,900. Hyde Boats also paid $15,900 to pour a concrete base that was necessary to place the machinery in service.
What is the total cost of the new machinery?
A. $332.500
B. $323.650
C. $307.750
D. $319.750
Answer:
Total purchase price= $323,650
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $295,000
Installation= $3,900
Concrete for installation= $15,900
The total cost of the machine includes the purchase price and all costs required to put it into operation. Taxes are part of the purchase cost.
First, we need to calculate the net cash discount:
Net discount= 295,000 * 0.03= $8,850
Now, the total purchase price:
Total purchase price= (295,000 - 8,850) + 17,700 + 3,900 + 15,900
Total purchase price= $323,650
Information concerning a product produced by Ender Company appears here: Sales price per unit $ 164 Variable cost per unit $ 94 Total annual fixed manufacturing and operating costs $ 434,000 Required Determine the following: Contribution margin per unit. Number of units that Ender must sell to break even. Sales level in units that Ender must reach to earn a profit of $182,000. Determine the margin of safety in units, sales dollars, and as a percentage.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the unitary contribution margin, we need to use the following formula:
Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Contribution margin= 164 - 94
Contribution margin= $70
Now, to determine the break-even point in units and sales dollars, we need to use the following formulas:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 434,000 / 70
Break-even point in units= 6,200
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 434,000 / (70 / 164)
Break-even point (dollars)= $1,016,800
The desired profit is $182,000:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (434,000 + 182,000) / 70
Break-even point in units= 8,800
Finally, the margin of safety in units, sales dollars, and as a percentage:
Margin of safety (units)= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety (units)= 8,800 - 6,200
Margin of safety (units)= 2,600
Margin of safety (dollars)= (8,800*164) - 1,016,800
Margin of safety (dollars)= $426,400
Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level
Margin of safety ratio= 426,400 / 1,443,200
Margin of safety ratio= 0.295
A privately owned summer camp for youngsters has the following data for a 12-week session: Charge per camper Fixed costs Variable cost per camper Capacity $480 per week $192,000 per session $320 per week 200campers (a) Develop the mathematical relationships for total cost and total revenue. (b) What is the total number of campers that will allow the camp to just break even
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $192,000
Unitary variable cost= $320 per week
Selling price per unit= $480 per week
To calculate the total cost, we need to use the following formula:
Total cost= fixed costs + unitary variable cost*number of units
Total cost= 192,000 + 320*number of weeks
Now, the total revenue:
Total revenue= selling price per week*Number of weeks
Total revenue= 480*x
Finally, the break-even point in units:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 192,000 / (480 - 320)
Break-even point in units= 1,200 campers
Leslie's Unique Clothing Stores offers a common stock that pays an annual dividend of $3.00 a share. The company has promised to maintain a constant dividend. How much are you willing to pay for one share of this stock if you want to earn a return of 15.80 percent on your equity investments

P = $3.00 / 0.1580
P = $18.99
Therefore, you willing to pay $18.99 for one share of this stock.
Orion Iron Corp. tracks the number of units purchased and sold throughout each year but applies its inventory costing method at the end of the year, as if it uses a periodic inventory system. Assume its accounting records provided the following information at the end of the annual accounting period, December 31. Transactions Units Unit Cost a. Inventory, Beginning 350 $ 14 For the year: b. Purchase, April 11 950 12 c. Purchase, June 1 700 15 d. Sale, May 1 (sold for $42 per unit) 350 e. Sale, July 3 (sold for $42 per unit) 610 f. Operating expenses (excluding income tax expense), $18,000 Required: 1. Calculate the number and cost of goods available for sale. 2. Calculate the number of units in ending inventory. 3. Compute the cost of ending inventory and cost of goods sold under (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, and (c) weighted average cost. 4. Prepare an income statement that shows under the FIFO method, LIFO method and weighted average method. 6. Which inventory costing method minimizes income taxes
Answer:
Part 1.
Number = 2,000 units and Cost = $26,800
Part 2.
1,040 units
Part 3.
a. FIFO
Ending Inventory = $14,580
Cost of Goods Sold = $12,220
b. LIFO
Ending Inventory = $13,180
Cost of Goods Sold = $13,620
c. Weighted Average Cost
Ending Inventory = $13,936
Cost of Goods Sold = $12,864
Part 4.
Orion Iron Corp.
Income Statement
FIFO LIFO Weighted Average
Sales (960 x $42) $40,320 $40,320 $40,320
Less Cost of Sales ($12,220) ($13,620) ($12,864)
Gross Profit $28,100 $26,700 $27,456
Less Expenses
Operating Expenses ($18,000) ($18,000) ($18,000)
Net Income $10,100 $8,700 $9,456
Part 6.
Weighted Average method minimizes Income taxes as it provides lowest profits than the rest of the methods.
Explanation:
Periodic Inventory method ensures that Cost of Sales and Inventory Value are determined at the end of the period.
Cost of Goods Available for Sale = Beginning Inventory + Purchases
therefore,
Number = 350 + 950 + 700 = 2,000 units
Cost = 350 x $14 + 950 x $12 + 700 x $15 = $26,800
Units in Ending Inventory = Units available for sale - Units sold
therefore,
Units in Ending Inventory = 2,000 - ( 350 + 610 ) = 1,040
FIFO
This method assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first.
Ending Inventory = 340 x $12 + 700 x $15 = $14,580
Cost of Goods Sold = 350 x $14 + 610 x $12 = $12,220
LIFO
This method assumes that the units to arrive last, will be sold first.
Ending Inventory = 690 x $12 + 350 x $14 = $13,180
Cost of Goods Sold = 700 x $15 + 260 x $12 = $13,620
Weighted Average Cost
This method calculates a new unit cost based on units available for sale after each and every purchase. This unit cost is then used to determine the cost of sales and inventory value.
Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Units available for sale
= $26,800 ÷ 2,000 units
= $13.40
Ending Inventory = Units in Inventory x Unit Cost
= 1,040 x $13.40
= $13,936
Cost of Goods Sold = Units Sold x Unit Cost
= 960 x $13.40
= $12,864

Consider this data for Marston Manufacturing Company and use it to complete the table:
Selected Financial Data for
Marston Manufacturing Company
Average cash $57,813
Average accounts payable $320,000
Average accounts receivable $1,387,500
Average inventories $693,750
Average cash sales $4,625,000
Average credit sales $13,875,000
Average cost of goods sold $8,325,000
Average number of days per year 365 days
Inventory conversion period 30.42 days
Payables deferral period days
Receivables conversion period
Operating cycle 66.92 days
Cash conversion cycle 52.89 days
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Payable Deferral Period = 365 ÷ Payable turnove ratio
where,
Payables Turnover Ratio = Average Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Accounts Payable
= ($8,325,000 ÷ $320,000)
= 26.02
Now payable deferral period is
= 365 ÷ 26.02
= 14.02 days
And, the receivables conversion period is
= 365 ÷ receivable turnover ratio
where
Receivables Turnover Ratio = Average credit sales ÷ Average Accounts receivable
= ($13,875,000 ÷ $1,387,500)
= 10
Now receivable turnover period is
= 365 ÷ 10
= 36.50 days

Diz Co. is a U.S.-based MNC with net cash inflows of euros and net cash inflows of Swiss francs. These two currencies are highly correlated in their movements against the dollar. Yanta Co. is a U.S.-based MNC that has the same level of net cash flows in these currencies as Diz Co. except that its euros represent net cash outflows. Yanta Co has a higher exposure to exchange rate risk than Diz Co.
Required:
Which firm has a higher exposure to exchange rate risk? Why?
Answer:
Yanta Co. has a higher exposure to exchange rate risk than Diz Co.
The reason is that Yanta Co. does not have net inflows of euros. Instead, its euro transactions yield net outflows.
It will always be in need of euros to settle its foreign debts or obligations, unlike Diz Co. with foreign assets.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Diz Co. has net cash inflows of euros and net cash inflows of swiss francs
Yanta Co. has net cash outflows of euros and net cash inflows of swiss francs
b) Exposure to exchange rate risk or currency risk is the financial risk arising from fluctuations in the value of the US dollars against the Euro or Swiss Francs in which Diz Co. has some foreign assets while Yanta Co. has foreign obligations.

Main Street Ice Cream Company uses a plant-wide allocation method to allocate overhead based on direct labor-hours at a rate of $2 per labor-hour.
Strawberry and vanilla flavors are produced in Department SV.
Chocolate is produced in Department C.
Sven manages Department SV and Charlene manages Department C. The product costs (per 1,000 gallons) follow:
Strawberry Vanilla Chocolate
Direct labor $755 $830 $1,130
Raw materials 805 505 605
Required:
a) If the number of hours of labor per 1,000 gallons is 56 for strawberry, 66 for vanilla and 100 for chocolate, compute the total cost of 1,000 gallons of each flavor using plant-wide allocation.
Total Cost
Strawberry
Vanilla
Chocolate
b) Charlene's department uses older, outdated machines. She believes that her department is being allocated some of the overhead of Department SV, which recently bought state-of- the-art machines.
After she requested that overhead costs be broken down by department, the following information was discovered:
Department SV Department C
Overhead $75,750 $14,274
Machine-hours 25,250 36,500
Labor-hours 25,250 18,300
Using machine-hours as the department allocation base for Department SV and labor-hours as the department allocation base for Department C, compute the allocation rate for each.
(Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Allocation Rate
Department SV per machine hour
Department C per labor hour
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
A) Predetermined overhead rate= $2 per direct labor hour
The product costs (per 1,000 gallons) follow:
Strawberry Vanilla Chocolate
Direct labor $755 $830 $1,130
Raw materials $805 $505 $605
Direct labor hours:
56 for strawberry
66 for vanilla
100 for chocolate
We can calculate the total cost for 1,000 gallons for each flavor:
Strawberry:
Total cost= 755 + 805 + 56*2
Total cost= $1,672
Vanilla:
Total cost= 830 + 505 + 66*2
Total cost= $1,467
Chocolate:
Total cost= 1,130 + 605 + 100*2
Total cost= $1,935
b) To calculate the activities rates, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Department SV:
Activity rate= 75,570 / 25,250= $3 per machine hour
Department C:
Activity rate= 14,274 / 18,300= $0.78 per direct labor hour
g An investment bank agrees to underwrite an issue of 5 million shares of stock for Longard Corp. (1). If the investment bank underwrites the stock on a firm commitment basis, it agrees to pay $15 per share to Longard Corp. for the 5 million shares of stock. It can then sell those shares to the public for $20 per share. How much money does Longard Corp. receive
Answer:
Longard Corp.
The money that Longard Corp. receives is:
= $75 million.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of shares issued = 5 million
Investment bank underwriter pays per share to Longard Corp = $15
Stock price to the public = $20 per share
Total amount received from the underwriter = $75 million ($15 * 5 million)
b) The calculations show that the investment bank will eventually receive $100 million ($20 * 5 million) from the public offer. It then charges $5 per share (representing a total underwriting fee of $25 million). This is why it remits only $75 million to Longard Corp.

Do not round interim calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar. The direct materials price variance is
Answer:
Direct material price variance= $3,706.64 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard price per ounce $1.77
Actual ounces purchased and used in production 13,238
Actual price paid for materials $27,138
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

"Coffee Klatch is an espresso stand in a downton office building. The average selling price of a cup of coffee is $1.49 and the avergage variable expense per cup is $0.36. The avergage fixed expense per month is $1,300. How many cups of coffee would have to be sold to attain target profits of $2,500 per month?"
Answer:
3363 cups of coffee
Explanation:
Given that the average selling price of a cup of coffee is $1.49 and the avergage variable expense per cup is $0.36 and average fixed expense per month is $1,300
The target profit is the difference between the total selling price and the total cost.
Let the number of units to be sold to make a target profits of $2,500 be T
The total cost will be
= 0.36T + 1300
The total sales
= 1.49T
Hence
1.49T - 0.36T - 1300 = 2500
1.13T = 2500 + 1300
1.13T = 3800
T = 3800/1.13
= 3362.83
Hence the company must sell about 3363 cups of coffee to make the target profit

On January 1, 2020, Castaway Corp. issued 5,000 shares of preferred stock ($15 par value) at $45 per share. Each share of preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the stockholder at $45 per share. On September 1, 2020, preferred shareholders holding 1,000 shares of preferred stock redeemed their stock.
The entry recorded by Castaway Corp. on September 1, 2020, would include the following:
A. No net change to stockholdersâ equity.
B. A decrease to retained earnings for $5,000.
C. A decrease to assets for $45,000.
D. No net change to preferred stock outstanding.
Answer: C. A decrease to assets for $45,000.
Explanation:
When shareholders redeem their stock, the company pays them for the redeemed stock at a certain price which in this case is $45.
The total cost of redemption is therefore:
= 45 * 1,000
= $45,000
The company uses cash to pay for this which is an asset. Assets will therefore reduce by $45,000 which is the amount of cash paid.
