Which of the following statements are true?
a. Pellegrini Southern Corporation has less liquidity but also a greater reliance on outside cash flow to finance its short-term obligations than Jing Foodstuffs Corporation.
b. If a company’s current liabilities are increasing faster than its current assets, the company’s liquidity position is weakening.
c. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations.
d. Pellegrini Southern Corporation has a better ability to meet its short-term liabilities than Jing Foodstuffs Corporation.
e. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving.
Answer:
b. If a company’s current liabilities are increasing faster than its current assets, the company’s liquidity position is weakening. TRUE
higher liabilities respect to current assets, decrease the company's ability to meet its short term payments
c. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations. TRUE
the current ratio = current assets / current liabilities
the quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities
the difference between both shows the dependence on selling inventory to pay off debts.
e. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving. TRUE

$8,850;$7,150
Explanation:
Calculation for Departmental delivery expenses for Dept. Y
Using this formula
Departmental delivery expenses Dept. Y= Direct expense + Indirect expense × given percentage
Let plug in the formula
Departmental delivery expenses Dept. Y= $1,700 + $14,300 × 50%
Departmental delivery expenses Dept. Y= $1,700 + $7,150
Departmental delivery expenses Dept. Y= $8,850
Calculation for Departmental delivery expenses for Dept. Z,
Using this formula
Departmental delivery expenses for Dept. Z= Indirect expense × given percentage
Departmental delivery expenses for Dept. Z= $14,300 × 50%
Departmental delivery expenses for Dept. Z= $7,150
Therefore The Departmental delivery expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:$8,850;$7,150
In 2019 a 90% owned subsidiary had $60,000 of unrealized gains on intercompany sales to its parent. In 2020 the subsidiary sold $200,000 of goods to its parent and had $30,000 of unrealized gains. In 2020 parent reports Cost of Goods Sold of $4,000,000 and sub reports Cost of Goods Sold of $1,000,000. How much is Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold
Answer:
Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold is $4,970,000.
Explanation:
A 90% owned subsidiary presents a controlling interest and consolidated financial statements must be prepared by the Parent company.
In preparing consolidated financial statements, any transactions between the parent and subsidiary (Intragroup transactions) must be eliminated.
At Beginning of the year
Recognize the unrealized gains on intercompany sales as follows ;
Debit : Retained Earnings $60,000
Credit : Cost of Sales $60,000
During the year 2020
Eliminate unrealized gains on intercompany sales as follows
Debit : Cost of Sales $30,000
Credit : Inventory $30,000
Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold
To determine the Cost of Goods Sold add 100 % of Parent and 100% of Subsidiary and also remember to effect the journals above as follows :
Cost of Goods Sold = $4,000,000 + $1,000,000 - $60,000 + $30,000
= $4,970,000
Conclusion
Therefore, Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold is $4,970,000.

Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 12% and a standard deviation of 39%. The T-bill rate is 6%A client prefers to invest in your portfolio a proportion (y) that maximizes the expected return on the overall portfolio subject to the constraint that the overall portfolio's standard deviation will not exceed 30%. a. What is the investment proportion, y
Answer:
y = 0.76923076923 or 76.923076923% rounded off to 76.92%
So, 76.92% of the portfolio should be invested in risky portfolio.
Explanation:
The portfolio standard deviation for a portfolio consisting of two securities with one of them being the risk free security is calculated by multiplying the standard deviation of the risky security by the weightage of investment in the risky security as a proportion of the overall investment in portfolio. The formula can be written as follows,
Portfolio STDEV = Weight of Risky Asset * STDEV of risky asset
30% = y * 39%
30% / 39% = y
y = 0.76923076923 or 76.923076923% rounded off to 76.92%
Marigold Manufacturing thinks that the best activity base for its manufacturing overhead is machine hours. The estimate of annual overhead costs is $620000. The company used 1000 hours of processing for Job A15 during the period and incurred actual overhead costs of $630000. The budgeted machine hours for the year totaled 20000. What amount of manufacturing overhead should be applied to Job A15
Answer:
$31,000
Explanation:
Overhead rate = $620000 / 20000 = $31.00
Applied overheads = 1000 x $31.00 = $31,000
manufacturing overhead should be applied to Job A15 are $31,000
ABC estimates uncollectible accounts based on the percentage of accounts receivable. What effect will recording the estimate of uncollectible accounts have on the accounting equation
Answer: Decrease assets and decrease stockholders' equity
Explanation:
If ABC estimates the uncollectible accounts based on the percentage of accounts receivable, the effect that the recording of the estimate of the uncollectible accounts will have on the accounting equation is that there will be a decrease in assets and there'll also be a decrease in the stockholders' equity.
We should note that the accounts uncollectible simply refers to the loans, receivables or other forms of debt that there's no chance of it being paid. Therefore, when they are estimated based on the percentage of accounts receivable, there'll be a reduction in both the assets and the stockholders equity.

The Krisp Kracker company which makes unique kettle chips for restaurants, clubs, and events, has just lost a large client that made up 55% of its total revenue. Management finds it necessary to reduce staff or wages. This comes only three months after hiring 35 new people to support this big client. While there are rumors of wage reductions in the short run, the 100 employees who have been with the company for the past two years are grumbling that they are more valuable that the new hires which should be let go and the wages not reduced. The situation at Krisp Kracker illustrates which wage stickiness theory best
Answer:
The Krisp Kracker Company
The situation at Krisp Kracker illustrates the Insider-Outsider Wage Stickiness theory best.
Explanation:
This theory suggests that the 100 employees are the insiders while the 35 newly employed are outsiders. Therefore, at negotiations between the employer and the employees, the 100 employees would also like to negotiate employment terms to the exclusion of the outsiders because they feel that they enjoy a juicier and more privileged position.
Huduko Inc. offers a number of computer services. Huduko operates with a utilization of 30 percent. The interarrival time of jobs is 8 milliseconds (0.008 second) with a coefficient of variation of 1.5. On average, there are 20 jobs waiting in the queue to be served and 60 jobs in process (i.e., being processed by a server rather than waiting to be sent to a server for processing).
Required:
How many servers do they have in this system?
Answer:
Huduko Inc.
The number of servers in this system is:
= 200.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Utilization rate = 30%
Interarrival time of jobs = 8 milliseconds (0.008)
Coefficient of variation = 1.5
Average jobs waiting in the queue to be served = 20
Number of jobs in process = 60
Number of servers processing the 60 jobs = 60
Since the number of servers processing at a time is 60 with a utilization rate of 30%, it means that there are 200 servers in the system (60/30%).
A competitive firm sells its output for $50 per unit. Assume that labor is the only input that varies for the firm. The marginal product of the 10th worker is 10 units of output per day; the marginal product of the 11th worker is 8 units of output per day. The firm pays its workers a wage of $160 per day. For the 10th worker, the value of the marginal product of labor is
Answer:
the value of the marginal product of labor is $500
Explanation:
The computation of the value of the marginal product of labor is shown below:
= MRP × price per unit
= 10 units × $50 per unit
= $500
hence, the value of the marginal product of labor is $500
We simply applied the above formula
Snappy Company has a job-order costing system and uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Manufacturing overhead cost and direct labor hours were estimated at $54,400 and 32,000 hours, respectively, for the year. In July, Job #334 was completed at a cost of $2,736 in direct materials and $1,664 in direct labor. The labor rate is $5.20 per hour. By the end of the year, Snappy had worked a total of 37,000 direct labor-hours and had incurred $64,650 actual manufacturing overhead cost. If Job #334 contained 120 units, the unit product cost on the completed job cost sheet would be:
Answer:
Unitary cost= $41.2
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= (54,400/32,000)
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.7 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Direct labor hours= 1,664 / 5.2= 320
Allocated MOH= 1.7*320= $544
Finally, the total cost and unitary cost:
Total cost= 544 + 1,664 + 2,736
Total cost= $4,944
Unitary cost= 4,944 / 120
Unitary cost= $41.2

Answer:
c. $4159672
Explanation:
Computation to determine the amount that Swifty will realize from the sale
First step is to calculate the annual interest payment
Annual interest payment=$5,100,000 × .07
Annual interest payment=$357,000
Now let calculate the amount that Swifty will realize from the sale
Sales realized amount=($347,000 × 6.1446) + ($5,100,000 × 0.3855)
Sales realized amount=$2,193,622+ $1,966,050
Sales realized amount =$4,159,672
Therefore the amount that Swifty will realize from the sale will be $4,159,672

a-3 Fixed cost variance is unfavorable (U).
b-1 Sales price variance = $3,750
b-2 Sales volume variance = -$1,500
b-3 Fixed cost variance = -$20,000
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete an the data in its are merged together. The complete question with the sorted data are therefore provided as follows:
Question 1: Sales price variance, sales volume variance, and fixed cost variance
Budgeted Actual
Price $300 $350
Sales volume in units 80 75
Unit VC $100 $120
Fixed costs $100,000 $120,000
a) Without computations, characterize the following variances as favorable or unfavorable:
sales price variance F U
sales volume variance F U
fixed cost variance F U
b) Compute the following variances. Enter favorable variances as a positive number and unfavorable variances as a negative number. Do NOT enter F or U after the number.
sales price variance
sales volume variance F U
fixed cost variance
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
a) Without computations, characterize the following variances as favorable or unfavorable:
a-1 Sales price variance F U
When the Actual price is greater than the Budgeted price, Sales price variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual price is less than the Budgeted price, Sales price variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual price is greater than the Budgeted price in this question, the Sales price variance is favorable (F).
a-2 Sales volume variance F U
When the Actual sales volume in units is greater than the Budgeted sales volume in units, Sales volume variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual sales volume in units is less than the Budgeted sales volume in units, Sales volume variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual sales volume in units is less than the Budgeted sales volume in units in this question, the Sales volume variance is unfavorable (U).
a-3 Fixed cost variance F U
When the Actual Fixed costs is less than the Budgeted Fixed costs, Fixed costs variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual Fixed costs is greater than the Budgeted Fixed costs, Fixed costs variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual Fixed costs is greater than the Budgeted Fixed costs in this question, the Fixed costs variance is unfavorable (U).
b) Compute the following variances. Enter favorable variances as a positive number and unfavorable variances as a negative number. Do NOT enter F or U after the number.
b-1 Calculation of sales price variance
This can be calculated as follows:
Sales price variance = (Actual price - Budgeted price) * Actual sales volume in units = ($350 - $300) * 75 = $3,750
b-2 Calculation of sales volume variance
This can be calculated as follows:
Sales volume variance = (Actual sales volume in units - Budgeted sales volume in units) * Budgeted price = (75 - 80) * $300 = -$1,500
b-3 Calculation of fixed cost variance
Fixed cost variance = Actual fixed costs - Budgeted fixed costs = $120,00 - $100,000 = -$20,000
Suppose at December 31 of a recent year, the following information (in thousands) was available for sunglasses manufacturer Oakley Inc.: ending inventory $170,000; beginning inventory $125,000; cost of goods sold $351,050 and sales revenue $761,000.
a. Calculate the inventory turnover for Oakley, Inc.
b. Calculate the days in inventory for Oakley, Inc.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The inventory turnover is
= Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $351,050 ÷ ($170,000 + $125,000) ÷ 2
= $351,050 ÷ $147,500
= 2.38 times
b. Now days in inventory is
= 365 ÷ inventory turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 2.38 times
= 153.36 days
Sectoral shifts, frictional unemployment, and job searches Suppose the world price of cotton rises substantially. The demand for labor among cotton-producing firms in Texas will ________. The demand for labor among textile-producing firms in South Carolina, for which cotton is an input, will_________ . The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as ____________ unemployment. Suppose the government wants to reduce this type of unemployment. Which of the following policies would help achieve this goal?
a. Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies
b. Offering recipients of unemployment insurance benefits a cash bonus if they find a new job within a specified number of weeks
c. Increasing the benefits offered to unemployed workers through the government's unemployment insurance program
Answer:
increase
decrease
frictional unemployment
a, b
Explanation:
Frictional unemployment . the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
As a result of the increase in price of cotton, the profit of making cotton would increase. So the production of cotton would increase and more labour would be needed
the cost of production for cotton producing firms would increase and this would discourage production. The demand for labour would increase
the government can reduce frictional unemployment by having policies that reduce the job search period and would incentivise labour to get employed quickly
Boehm Incorporated is expected to pay a $1.10 per share dividend at the end of this year (i.e., D1 = $1.10). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% a year. The required rate of return on the stock, rs, is 15%. What is the estimated value per share of Boehm's stock? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $
Answer:
$10
Explanation:
The dividend is $1.10
The constant rate is 4%
The required rate of return in the stock is 15%
Therefore the estimated value per share can be calculated as follows
= 1.10(0.15-0.04)
= 1.10/(0.11)
= $10
Hence the estimated valuee is $10

The demand for spring water at the SLC WalMart is 600 liters per week. The setup cost for placing an order to replenish inventory is $25. The order is delivered by the supplier which charges WalMart $0.10/liter for the cost of transportation from the Rocky Mountains to SLC. This transportation cost increases the cost of water to $1.25/liter. The water loses its freshness while stored at the SLC WalMart. To account for this, the WalMart charges an annual holding cost of $2.6/liter.
Required:
a. Determine the WalMart's Economic Order Quantity (in liters)?
b. How often should WalMart order for water (in weeks) ?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the ideal order quantity a company should purchase to minimize inventory costs such as holding costs, shortage costs, and order costs.
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]
D= Demand in units
S= Order cost
H= Holding cost
Since:
D= 600*52= 31,200
S= $25
H= $2.6
Replacing:
EOQ= 2√[(2*31,200*25) / 2.6]
EOQ= 775 units
To calculate the time between orders, we need to use the following formula:
Time between orders= EOQ / Weekly demand
Timer between orders= 775 / 600
Time between orders= 1.3 weeks
