High Country, Inc., produces and sells many recreational products. The company has just opened a new plant to produce a folding camp cot that will be marketed throughout the United States. The following cost and revenue data relate to May, the first month of the plant’s operation: Beginning inventory 0 Units produced 47,000 Units sold 42,000 Selling price per unit $ 84 Selling and administrative expenses: Variable per unit $ 4 Fixed (per month) $ 560,000 Manufacturing costs: Direct materials cost per unit $ 17 Direct labor cost per unit $ 7 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit $ 3 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost (per month) $ 893,000
Management is anxious to assess the profitability of the new camp cot during the month of May.
Required:
1. Assume that the company uses absorption costing.
a. Calculate the unit product cost.
b. Prepare an income statement for May.
2. Assume that the company uses variable costing.
a. Calculate the unit product cost.
b. Prepare a contribution format income statement for May.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unitary product cost= 17 + 7 + 3 + (893,000 / 47,000)
Unitary product cost= 27 + 19
Unitary product cost= $46
Now the income statement:
Sales= 42,000*84= 3,528,000
COGS= (42,000*46)= (1,932,000)
Gross profit= 1,596,000
Total Selling and administrative expenses= (42,000*4) + 560,000= (728,000)
Net operating profit= 868,000
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Unitary variable product cost= 17 + 7 + 3
Unitary variable product cost= $27
Now, the income statement:
Sales= 3,528,000
Total variable cost= 42,000*(27 + 4)= (1,302,000)
Total contribution margin= 2,226,000
Total fixed manufacturing cost= (893,000)
Total Selling and administrative expenses= (560,000)
Net operating profit= 773,000
CDF Inc. is contemplating the acquisition of Pogo Company. The values of the two companies as separate entities are $20 million and $10 million, respectively. CDF estimates that by combining the two companies, it will reduce marketing and administrative costs by $500,000 per year in perpetuity. CDF can either pay $14 million cash for Pogo or offer Pogo a 55% holding in CDF. If the opportunity cost of capital is 10%,a. What is the gain from merger? b. What is the cost of the cash offer? c. What is the cost of the sock alternative? d. What is the NPV of the acquisition under the cash offer? e. What is the NPV under the stock offer?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What is the gain from merger?
This will be calculated by dividing the cost savings by the opportunity cost of capital. This will be:
= $500,000 / 10%
= $500,000 / 0.1
= $5,000,000
= $5 million
b. What is the cost of the cash offer?
This will be the difference between the cash cash paid and the value of the firm acquired which will be:
= $14 million - $10 million
= $4 million
c. What is the cost of the sock alternative?
First, we calculate the value of the merged company which will be:
= $20 million + $10 million + $5 million
= $35 million
Then, cost of stock alternative will be:
= (35 million x 55%) – $10 million
= ($35 million × 0.55) - $10 million
= $19.25 million - $10 million
= $9.25 million
d. What is the NPV of the acquisition under the cash offer?
This will be:
= $5 million - $4 million
= $1 million
e. What is the NPV under the stock offer?
This will be:
= $5 million - $9.25 million
= -$4.25 million

Explanation:
This year Don and his son purchased real estate for an investment. The price of the property was $630,000, and the title named Don and his son as joint tenants with the right of survivorship. Don provided $358,000 of the purchase price and his son provided the remaining $272,000. Has Don made a taxable gift and, if so, in what amount
Answer:
$28,000
Explanation:
Calculation for Don taxable gift amount
Taxable gift amount=[$358,000 − ($630,000)/2] − $15,000
Taxable gift amount=[$358,000 −$315,000] − $15,000
Taxable gift amount=$43,000-$15,000
Taxable gift amount=$28,000
Therefore Don has made a taxable gift of the amount of $28,000

Solver provides sensitivity analysis information on all of the following except the a. range of values for objective function coefficients which do not change optimal solution. b. impact on optimal objective function value of changes in constrained resources. c. amount by which the right hand side of the constraints can change and still the shadow price is accurate. d. impact on right hand sides of changes in constraint coefficients.
Answer:
The correct answer is OPTION D (impact on right hand sides of changes in constraint coefficients).
Explanation:
Solver is an excel program that can be used to solve systems of equations even solve for multiple equations, using a powerful iteration technique in a bid to get a closer approximation to the solution of a problem.
A sensitivity report is one of the three reports that can be generated using the solver which can solve for the effect of how changes in the constraints no matter how small could still affect the overall solution.
The objective function is a target cell.
The solver doesn't provide information on how the impact on the right-hand sides of changes in constraint coefficients as information showed is that as long as there is a positive less than or equal constraints, increasing the values of the right-hand side values of constraints would not change the optimal solution.

The Work-in-Process inventory account of a manufacturing firm shows a balance of $3,250 at the end of an accounting period. The job cost sheets of two uncompleted jobs show charges of $510 and $310 for materials, and charges of $410 and $670 for direct labor. From this information, it appears that the company is using a predetermined overhead rate, as a percentage of direct labor costs, of:
Answer:
$1.25
Explanation:
With regards to the above and given that;
Direct material = $510 310
Direct labor = $410 $670
Manufacturing overhead?
Work in process = Direct material + Direct labor + manufacturing overhead
$3,250 = $820 + $1,080 + MOH
$3,250 - $1,900 = MOH
MOH = $1,350
Overhead rate = MOH/Direct labor hour
= $1,350/1080
= $1.25

Clarisa, an engineering manager, wants to purchase a resort accommodation to rent to skiers. She is considering the purchase of a three-bedroom lodge in upper Montana that will cost $250,000. The property in the area is rapidly appreciating in value because people anxious to get away from urban developments are bidding up the prices. If Clarisa spends an average of $500 per month for utilities and the investment increases at a rate of 2% per month, how long would it be before she could sell the property for $100,000 more than she has in
Answer:
18.5 months approximately
Explanation:
initial investment x (1 + appreciation rate)ⁿ = initial investment + $100,000 + ($500 x n)
$250,000 x (1 + 2%)ⁿ = $350,000 + $500n
1.02ⁿ = $350,000/$250,000 + $500n/$250,000
1.02ⁿ = 1.4 + 0.002n

If in the textile markets we know that two brands, X and Z, are substitutes. Suppose that the supply of X increases and, at the same time, the supply of the Z decreases. Other things being equal, what would be the expectations for the change in the equilibrium quantities in the two markets
Answer:
Equilibrium quantity of X increases and that of z decreases.
Explanation:
If two goods are substitutes then 1 can be used in the place of the other. As supply of Z falls, we would have market demand to be greater than supply. This brings about a price rise. The price rise will make consumers of Z to want it less and opt for a cheaper good X. Increase in the demand for X causes its supply to rise in the market.
So we would have increase in equilibrium quantity of X and that of Z would fall.

Foreign exchange loss on 31-Dec-20 = Value of surfboards in Brazilian real * (U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-De-20 - U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 31-Dec-20) = BRL640,000.00 * ($0.23 - $0.25) = -$12,800
b-2. Since the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 31-Dec-20 is higher than the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Mar-21, the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on reported income in 2021 is a foreign exchange gain calculated as follows:
Foreign exchange gain on 31-Mar-21 = Value of surfboards in Brazilian real * (U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Dec-20 - U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Mar-21) = BRL640,000.00 * ($0.25 - $0.235) = $9,600
c. Assume that Spindler acquired the surfboards on September 1, 2020, and made payment on March 1, 2021. What is the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on reported income in 2020 and in 2021?
c-1. Since the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Sep-20 is lower than the U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 31-Dec-20, the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on reported income in 2020 is a foreign exchange loss calculated as follows:
Foreign exchange loss on 31-Dec-20 = Value of surfboards in Brazilian real * (U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 1-Sep-20 - U.S. Dollar per Brazilian Real on 31-Dec-20) = BRL640,000.00 * ($0.24 - $0.25) = -$6,400

Part U16 is used by Mcvean Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 16,500 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 $ 3.60 Direct labor $ 8.20 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 8.70 Supervisor's salary $ 4.10 Depreciation of special equipment $ 2.50 Allocated general overhead $ 7.70 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $27.50 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 U16 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $28,500 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part U16 from the outside supplier should be:
Answer:
Financial disadvantage = 45,750
Explanation:
First of all, we need to sort out the data given in this question.
Data Given:
Per Unit Direct materials = $ 3.60
Direct labor = $ 8.20
Variable manufacturing overhead = $ 8.70
Supervisor's salary = $ 4.10
Depreciation of special equipment = $ 2.50
Allocated general overhead = $ 7.70
Offer by outside supplier = $27.50
So,
Cost of making = [(3.60+8.20+8.70+2.50)*16,500]+28,500 (Opportunity cost)
Cost of Making = (23*16,500)+28,500
Cost of Making = 408,000
Cost of buying = 16,500*27.50
Cost of buying = 453,750
Financial disadvantage = Cost of making - Cost of buying
Financial disadvantage = 453,750 - 408,000
Hence,
Financial disadvantage = 45,750
why is it difficult to visualize a business entity without external users?
Answer:
Since businesses require an exchange of goods and services, external users must be involved.
Explanation:
A business is an entity set up for the sole purpose of producing goods and services that will be sold to interested buyers for a profit. The producers within an organization cannot consume all that they have produced by themselves. They need others- external users to purchase that which they have made.
In return, they make some profit through the exchange. So, because a business entity does work that requires exchange, there must be external users.
External users must be involved since businesses demand the trade of goods and services. Business decisions are largely influenced by external users.
Who are external users?External users of business transactions are those entities interested in a company's financial results, it includes creditors, suppliers, investors, banks, financial institutions, government along with others.
A business is an entity formed solely for the aim of generating goods and services that will be sold for a profit to interested buyers.
An organization's producers can't consume what they've created on their own. They require external users to purchase what they have created in exchange for profit from the transaction.
Hence, a business entity cannot visualize itself without external users. because a business entity performs work that necessitates interchange, for which external users are required.

Kingston Company, which needs 10,000 units of a certain part to be used in its production cycle, can make or buy the part. If Kingston buys the part from Utica Company, Kingston could not use the released facilities in another manufacturing activity within the coming year. 60% of the fixed overhead applied will continue regardless of which decision option is chosen. The following per-unit cost information to make the part by Kingston is available: Direct materials $ 37 Direct labor 148 Variable overhead 74 Fixed overhead applied 93 $ 352 Cost to buy the part from Utica Company $ 85 In deciding whether to make or buy the part, Kingston's total relevant cost to make the part would be:
Answer: $2,962,000
Explanation:
60% of the fixed overhead cannot be avoided which means that only 40% can be avoided. This is the amount to include in the analysis.
To make 10,000 units, the cost would be:
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable Overhead + Fixed overhead applied
= (10,000 * 37) + ( 10,000 * 148) + (10,000 * 74) + (10,000 * 93 * 40%)
= 370,000 + 1,480,000 + 740,000 + 372,000
= $2,962,000
Album Co. issued 10-year $200,000 debenture bonds on January 2. The bonds pay interest semiannually. Album uses the effective interest method to amortize bond premiums and discounts. The carrying value of the bonds on January 2 was $185,953. A journal entry was recorded for the first interest payment on June 30, debiting interest expense for $13,016 and crediting cash for $12,000. What is the annual stated interest rate for the debenture bonds
Answer: 12%
Explanation:
Stated interest rate is used in the calculation of the annual interest payment.
Interest payment = Face value of bonds * Stated interest rate
Annual Interest payment = Semi annual interest payment * 2
= 12,000 * 2
= $24,000
24,000 = 200,000 * Stated interest
Stated interest = 24,000 / 200,000
= 0.12
= 12%
Crich Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year, the estimated direct labor-hours were 21,800 hours and the total estimated manufacturing overhead was $497,040. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 21,500 hours and the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $492,040. Overhead at the end of the year was: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Underapplied overhead= $1,640
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 497,040 / 21,800
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $22.8 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 22.8*21,500
Allocated MOH= $490,200
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 492,040 - 490,200
Underapplied overhead= $1,640
An order has been received from an overseas customer for 3700 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $2.90 less per unit on this order than on normal sales. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. Suppose there is not enough idle capacity to produce all of the units for the overseas customer and accepting the special order would require cutting back on production of 1550 units for regular customers. The minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order is closest to:
Answer: $88.62
Explanation:
First find the costs associated with the order.
= Direct material + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Variable selling expense + Contribution margin lost from cutting back production for regular customers
Contriution margin lost from cutting production = Selling price - Direct material - Direct labor - Variable manufacturing overhead - Variable selling expense
= 120.10 - 51.10 - 9.80 - 5.20
= $54
= (3,700 * 51.10) + (3,700 * 9.80) + (3,700 * 2.80) + ((5.20 - 2.90) * 3,700) + ( 54 * 1,550)
= $327,900
Price per unit = 327,900 / 3,700
= $88.62
The manager of the main laboratory facility at Center is interested in being able to predict the overhead costs each month for the lab. The manager believes that total overhead varies with the number of lab tests performed but that some costs remain the same each month regardless of the number of lab tests performed. The lab manager collected the following data for the first seven months of the year. Number of Lab Total Laboratory Tests Performed Overhead CostsMonth January 2,700 $22,900February 2,500 $23,500March 3,500 $29,800 April 4,000 $32,500May 4,600 $31,100 June 2,250 $22,000 July 2,000 $19,100 1. Use the high-low method to determine the laboratory's cost equation for total laboratory overhead. Use your results to predict total laboratory overhead if 3,200 lab tests are performed next month.2. Use the high-low method to determine UrbanFit's operating cost equation.
Answer:
Total cost= 9,871 + 4.615*x
x=number of lab tests
Explanation:
To calculate the variable and fixed costs using the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (31,100 - 19,100) / (4,600 - 2,000)
Variable cost per unit= $4.615
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 31,100 - (4.62*4,600)
Fixed costs= $9,871
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 19,100 - (4.615*2,000)
Fixed costs= $9,870
Total cost= 9,871 + 4.615*x
x=number of lab tests
