Answer:
total $3.36
Explanation:
required for producing 50 gallons of wine:
2,400 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.01 per ounce = $24 / 50 = $0.48 x 1.04 = $0.50
54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.50 per pound = $27 / 50 = $0.54 x 1.1 = $0.59
60 lemons at $0.80 each = $48 / 50 = $0.96 x 1.25 = $1.20
100 yeast tablets at $0.21 each = $21 / 50 = $0.42
100 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each = $14 / 50 = $0.28
3,700 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce = $18.50 / 50 = $0.37
Hank estimates that 4% of the grape concentrate is wasted, 10% of the sugar is lost, and 25% of the lemons cannot be used.
total standard cost per gallon:
grape concentrate = $0.50granulated sugar = $0.59lemons = $1.20yeast tablets = $0.42nutrient tablets = $0.28water = $0.37total $3.36Suppose a consumer has the following utility function defined over the 2 goods X and Y: a. If this consumer originally consumed 10 units of X and 24 units of Y, and if the consumption of X were increased to 12 units, how much Y would be would the consumer be willing to give up and maintain the initial level of satisfaction
Answer:
Y = 22 units (Approx)
Explanation:
Note:
The utility function is not given, the utility function is as follows.
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
So,
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
When X = 10 and Y = 24 units
U(10 ,24) = 2(10) + [tex]16(24)^{1/2}[/tex]
U(10 ,24) = 98.4
U(10 ,24) = 99 Units (Approx)
So,
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
When X = 12 Find Y
99 units = 2(12) + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
75 = [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
Y = 21.97
Y = 22 units (Approx)
Beginning and ending work in process inventories are negligible, so they are omitted from the cost of production report. The flavor changeover cost represents the cost of cleaning the bottling machines between production runs of different flavors. Determine the cost per case for each of the four flavors. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer and Explanation:
The cost per case for each of the four flavors are shown below:

By dividing the total cost from the number of cases we can get the cost per case for each of the four flavors
Becton Labs, Inc., produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared using an elaborate distilling process. The company has developed standard costs for one unit of Fludex, as follows:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 2.10 ounces $15.00 per ounce $31.50
Direct labor 0.80 hours $15.00 per hour 12.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.80 hours $3.50 per hour 2.80
Total standard cost per unit $46.30
During November, the following activity was recorded, relative to production of Fludex:
a. Materials purchased, 9,420 ounces at a cost of $49,926.
b. There was no beginning inventory of materials; however, at the end of the month, 1,600 ounces of material remained in ending inventory.
c. The company employs 40 lab technicians to work on the production of Fludex. During November, they worked an average of 61.50 hours at an average rate of $12.30 per hour.
d. Variable manufacturing overhead is assigned to Fludex on the basis of direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead costs during November totaled $5,658.
e. During November, 4,600 good units of Fludex were produced.
The company's management is anxious to determine the efficiency of the Fludex production activities.
Required:
1. For direct materials used in the production of Fludex, compute the price and usage variances.
2. For direct labor employed in the production of Fludex, compute the price and usage variances.
Answer:
1)
direct materials price variance = actual quantity x (actual price - standard price)
direct materials price variance = 7,820 x ($5.30 - $15) = 7,820 x (-$9.70) = -$75,854 favorable
direct materials usage variance = standard price x (actual usage - standard usage)
direct materials usage variance = $15 x (7,820 - 9,660) = -$27,600 favorable
2)
direct labor price variance = actual hours x (actual rate - standard rate)
direct labor price variance = 2,460 x ($12.30 - $15) = 2,460 x (-$2.70) = -$6,642 favorable
direct labor usage (efficiency) variance = standard rate x (actual hours - standard hours)
direct labor usage (efficiency) variance = $15 x (2,460 - 3,680) = $15 x (-1,220) = -$18,300 favorable

Fill in the missing numbers for the following income statement. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Sales $668,600
Cost 431,300
Depreciation 103,700
EBIT
Taxes (24%)
Net Income
a. Calculate the OCF. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?
Answer:
a. $205,236
b. $24,888
Explanation:
a. The computation of OCF is shown below:-
EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation
= $668,600 - $431,300 - $103,700
= $133,600
Net income = EBIT - Taxes
= $133,600 - ($133,600 × 24%)
= $133,600 - $32,064
= $101,536
Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation
= $133,600 - $32,064 + $103,700
= $205,236
b. The computation of depreciation tax shield is shown below:-
Depreciation tax shield = Depreciation × Tax
= $103,700 × 24%
= $24,888

A year ago, the IT team earned corporate-wide recognition for its performance. More recently, it has begun to experience some declines in its performance. They have missed the last three project deadlines and have experienced budget overruns. The team leader has encouraged the team members to reflect on and adjust their purpose. To turn around the team's performance, the team lead is encouraging the team to show __________.
a. creativity
b. adherence to norms
c. OCBs
d. reflexivity
e. cohesion
Reflexivity simply means when individuals examine their own judgements, beliefs, and practices during a project or a research process and how their judgements, practices or beliefs may have influenced or impacted the research.
From the question, we are told that a year ago, the IT team earned corporate-wide recognition for its performance but recently, it has begun to experience some declines in its performance which has led to them missing the last three project deadlines and having experienced budget overruns.
To turn around the team's performance, the team lead is encouraging the team to show reflexivity. He wants them to look at what they've been doing earlier and what they're doing presently and make necessary adjustments regarding their judgements for the goals of the organization to be achieved.
Many times, clients will shift new people into the project who have no experience with it as they move their key people to new challenges. This issue is: An emotional one for the project team. An emotional one for the clients. One that is external and intellectual. One that is internal and intellectual.
Answer:
Many times, clients will shift new people into the project who have no experience with it as they move their key people to new challenges. This issue is: One that is external and intellectual.
Explanation:
External issues do not affect an entity obviously. The clients shifting new people into projects and moving their key people to new challenges know why they must be doing so. It may be to encourage organizational learning. It may be because the key people have been promoted and need to move to higher positions.
Most importantly, it is the clients as entities that we should be concerned and deal with. Clients like other organizational entities have systems, processes, and policies that they work with to produce results. Their internal management should remain internal and not be externalized by overtly and overzealous outsiders.
Determine the total equivalent units for direct materials, assuming that the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. Assume that all direct materials are placed in the process at the beginning of production.
Answer:
37,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the total equivalent units for direct material is shown below:
= Transferred to finished goods during the month of July + Ending work in process during the month of July - Inventory in process, July 1
= 37,500 units + 3,500 units - 4,000 units
= 41,000 units - 4,000 units
= 37,000 units

An access control strategy that gives a user or group of users only those powers which are absolutely essential to do the job required is called the: a. principle of least privilege. b. principle of user control. c. principle of essential power. d. group level rule.
Answer:
A. principle of least privilege
Explanation:
According to The Principle of Least Privilege, a subject should be given only those privileges that are essential for it to complete its task. The principle works by giving just enough access to perform the required job. It dictates that users be assigned the least set of privileges they need to do their jobs, according to their roles. The principle aids in the creation of protective systems.
Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $195 and $150, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $5 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 123,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below
Alpha Beta
Direct materials $40 $15
Direct labor 34 28
Variable manufacturing overhead 22 20
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead 30 33
Variable selling expenses 27 23
Common fixed expenses 30 25
Total cost per unit $183 $144
The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.
1) What contribution margin per pound of raw material is earned by Alpha and Beta?
2) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?

Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials?
4) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. Up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials?
Answer:
Explanation:
Alpha = $195
Beta = $150
total production capacity = 123,000 pounds
raw materials = $5 per pound
Production costs per unit Alpha Beta
direct materials $40 $15
direct labor $34 $28
variable manufacturing overhead $22 $20
fixed manufacturing overhead $30 $33
variable selling expenses $27 $23
common fixed expenses $30 $25
total cost per unit $183 $144
1) What contribution margin per pound of raw material is earned by Alpha and Beta?
Alpha Beta
contribution margin $72 $64
contribution margin per pound $9 $21.33
2) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?
Alpha Beta
contribution margin $72 $64
contribution margin per pound $9 $21.33
production (in units) 2,500 75,000
profits $30,000 $450,000
total profits $480,000
3) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials?
Alpha Beta
contribution margin $72 $64
contribution margin per pound $9 $21.33
production (in units) 2,500 75,000
contribution margin $180,000 $4,800,000
total contribution margin $4,980,000
4) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. Up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials?
If it wants to increase the production of Alpha, it could pay as much as ($195 - $183) / 8 = $1.50 extra per pound if it wants to maximize profits. Maximum price = $6.50 per pound. At this point, marginal revenue = price.
A portfolio consists of $13,600 in Stock M and $19,400 invested in Stock N. The expected return on these stocks is 8.10 percent and 11.70 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
Portfolio return is 10.22%
Explanation:
The expected return of a portfolio is the function of the weighted average of the individual stock returns that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the expected return of the portfolio is as follows,
Portfolio Return = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w is the weightage of each asset/stock in the portfolior is the return of each stockThe weightage of each stock can be calculated by dividing the investment in the stock by the total investment in the portfolio.
Total investment - portfolio = 13600 + 19400 = $33000
Portfolio Return = 13600/33000 * 0.0810 + 19400/33000 * 0.1170
Portfolio Return = 0.10216 or 10.216% rounded off to 10.22%
You are the financial manager for a recreation center that has signed an option to purchase new elliptical machines for $22,000 in two years. If you have an investment opportunity that guarantees 7% interest, how much must you invest to have the necessary funds to purchase the elliptical machines
Answer:
$19,215.65
Explanation:
To the determine the amount to be invested, we have to find the present value of $22,000 at 7%
P= FV ( 1 + r) ^-n
FV = Future value = $22,000
P = Present value
R = interest rate = 7%
N = number of years = 2
$22,000(1.07)^-2 = $19,215.65
I hope my answer helps you

In 2007, Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky realized they could not afford the rent on their pricey San Francisco apartment, so they decided to put an air mattress in their living room and offer people an alternative to an expensive hotel room. This is the story of how Airbnb got started. In other words, Airbnb began when Gebbia and Chesky ________; the company grew because it ________.
Answer: c. Identified a problem or frustration; identified an opportunity or need
Explanation:
Airbnb began when the founders Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky realized that they could not afford the rent on their San Francisco apartment. This was a problem for them and they needed to solve it. Another problem they realized was that people were having to pay for expensive hotel rooms. The common denominator here being that both places were pricey.
They then identified the opportunity or need that people needed to afford their rent and visitors needed to afford places to stay temporarily and then acted on this opportunity by putting an air mattress in their living room and offering people an alternative to an expensive hotel room.
