If the firm adopts a restricted policy, how much lower would its interest expense be than under the relaxed policy?A) $8,418B) $8,861C) $9,327D) $9,818E) $10,309

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D) $9,818

Explanation:

This can be determined using the following 3 steps.

Step 1. Calculation of interest expense under a restricted policy

Sales = $3,600,000

Asset turnover = Sales/ Total assets = 2.5 .................. (1)

Substituting sales into equation (1) and solve for Total assets, we have:

$3,600,000/ Total assets = 2.5

Total assets = $3,600,000 / 2.5

Total assets = $1,440,000

Since Debt is 50% of Total assets, we therefore have:

Debt = 50% * Total assets = 50% * $1,440,000 = $720,000

Since the interest rate on the firm's debt is 10%, we have:

Interest expense under a restricted policy = 10% * Debt = 10% * $720,000 = $72,000

Step 2. Calculation of interest expense under a relaxed policy

Sales = $3,600,000

Asset turnover = Sales/ Total assets = 2.2 .................. (1)

Substituting sales into equation (1) and solve for Total assets, we have:

$3,600,000/ Total assets = 2.2

Total assets = $3,600,000 / 2.2

Total assets = $1,636,363.64

Since Debt is 50% of Total assets, we therefore have:

Debt = 50% * Total assets = 50% * $1,636,363.64 = 818,181.82

Since the interest rate on the firm's debt is 10%, we have:

Interest expense under a restricted policy = 10% * Debt = 10% * 818,181.82 = $81,818

Step 3. Calculation of difference between interest expense under a restricted policy and a relaxed policy

Difference between interest expenses = Interest expense under a restricted policy -  Interest expense under a relaxed policy = $81,818 - $72,000 = $9,818

Therefore, the interest expense under a relaxed policy would be $9,818 lower than interest expense under the relaxed policy.

Longobardi Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the Corporation estimated the labor-hours for the upcoming year at 35,600 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $6.76 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $906,732. The actual labor-hours for the year turned out to be 32,000 labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:

Answers

Answer: $32.23 per labor-hour

Explanation:

To solve the question, we need to first calculate the estimated total manufacturing overhead which will be:

= $906,732 + ($6.76 per labor-hour × 35,600 labor-hours)

= $906732 + $240656

= $1,147,388

Predetermined overhead rate will then be:

= $1,147,388 / 35,600 labor-hours

= $32.23 per labor hour

ASC 480-10 provides guidance on determining whether (1) certain financial instruments with both debt-like and equity-like characteristics should be accounted for outside of equity (i.e., as liabilities or, in some cases, assets) by the issuer and (2) SEC registrants should present certain redeemable equity instruments as temporary equity. Examples of contracts and transactions that may require evaluation under ASC 480-10 include:________

Answers

Answer:

. Redeemable shares.

• Redeemable noncontrolling interests.

• Forward contracts to repurchase own shares.

• Forward contracts to sell redeemable shares.

• Written put options on own stock.

• Warrants (and written call options) on redeemable equity shares.

• Warrants on shares with deemed liquidation provisions.

• Puttable warrants on own stock.

• Equity collars.

• Share-settled debt (this term is used to describe a share-settled obligation that  is not in the legal form of debt but has the same economic payoff profile as debt).

• Preferred shares that are mandatorily convertible into a variable number of common shares.

• Unsettled treasury stock transactions.

• Accelerated share repurchase programs.

• Hybrid equity units.

Explanation:

ASC 480-10 is used when an issuer, in the declaration of its financial position, has to categorize some financial instruments that share the characteristics of liabilities and equities. The issuer always classifies legal-form debt as liability and this makes it not applicable under the ASC 480-10.

Under the ASC 480-10, three types of financial instruments are meant to be classified and they include;

1. Mandatorily redeemable financial instruments

2. Obligations to repurchase the entity’s equity shares by transferring assets, and

3.Certain obligations to issue a variable number of equity shares

Riverbed Company had $151,800 of net income in 2016 when the selling price per unit was $151, the variable costs per unit were $91, and the fixed costs were $575,800. Management expects per unit data and total fixed costs to remain the same in 2017. The president of Riverbed Company is under pressure from stockholders to increase net income by $64,300 in 2017.
1. Compute the number of units sold in 2016. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1,225.)
2. Compute the number of units that would have to be sold in 2017 to reach the stockholders' desired profit level.
3. Assume that Naylor Company sells the same number of units in 2017 as it did in 2016. What would the selling price have to be in order to reach the stockholders? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.)

Answers

Answer:

Riverbed Company

1. The number of units sold in 2016:

= 12,127

2. The number of units that would have to be sold in 2017 to meet desired profit level of stockholders:

= 13,199

3. Assuming that Naylor Company sells the same number of units in 2017 as it did in 2016, the selling price have to increase to $156.30 per unit, in order to achieve stockholders' desire for more profitability.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

2016 net income = $151,800

Selling price = $151

Variable cost per unit = $91

Contribution = $60

Fixed costs = $575,800

Units sold = 12,127 ($575,800 + 151,800)/$60

When net income increases by $64,300, the units sold will increase by 1,072 ($64,300/$60)

Sales volume = 13,199 (12,127 + 1,072)

To achieve the same level of profitability ($216,100) at the same level of units sold, the price will increase by $5.30 ($64,300/12,127) to $156.30.

Answers

Answer:

If prices are cut by $0.2 then the operating income will increase by $91,200.

Explanation:

Current Gross Profit is :

Revenue [240,000 * $6] = $1,440,000

Cost of Sales = $1,416,000

Gross Profit = $24,000

If selling price is reduced to $5.80

Revenue $5.80 * [ 240,000 * 1.10 % ] = $1,531,200

Cost of Sales $1,416,000

Gross Profit = $115,200

Cecil Green sells golf hats. He knows that most people will not pay more than $23 for a golf hat. Cecil needs a 39% markup on cost. What should Cecil pay for his golf hats? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Answers

Answer: $16.55

Explanation:

People will not pay more than $23 for a golf hat but Mr. Green still needs to add a 39% markup on cost.

Assume the price Mr. Green sells at is $23. His cost to get one hat should be denoted as x:

23 = x + (x * 39%)

23 = x + 0.39x

23 = 1.39x

x = 23/1.39

x = $16.55

What is the probability that the mean balance for the selected sample is above $295?3. What is the probability that the mean balance for the selected sample is below $290?4. What is the probability that the mean balance for the selected sample is between $302 and $304?

Answers

Answer:

1. P(X > 305) = $0.1038

2. P ( X > 295) = $0.8962

3. P ( X > 290) = $0.0057

4. P(302 < X < 304 ) = $0.1488

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Mean = u = $300

SD = Standard Deviation = $56

Sample Size = n = 200

uX = u = 300

SDX = [tex]\frac{SD}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{56}{\sqrt{200} }[/tex] = 3.96

1.

P(X > 305) = 1-P ([tex]\frac{X - uX}{SDX} < \frac{305 - 300}{3.96}[/tex])

P(X > 305) = 1-P (Z < 1.26)

Using Standard Normal Table, we have:

P(X > 305) = 1 - 0.8962

Probability = $0.1038

2.

P ( X > 295) = 1 - P ( [tex]\frac{X - uX }{SDX} < \frac{295 - 300}{3.96}[/tex] )

P ( X > 295) = 1 - P (Z< 1.26)

Using standard normal table, we have:

P ( X > 295) = 1 - 0.1038

P ( X > 295) = $0.8962

3.

P ( X > 290) =  P ( [tex]\frac{X - uX }{SDX} < \frac{290 - 300}{3.96}[/tex] )

P ( X > 290) = P ( z< -2.53)

Using Standard normal table, we have:

P ( X > 290) = $0.0057

4.

P(302 < X < 304 ) = P ( [tex]\frac{302 - 300}{3.96} < \frac{X - uX}{SDX} < \frac{304 - 300}{3.96}[/tex] )

P(302 < X < 304 ) = P ( 0.51 < z < 1.01)

P(302 < X < 304 ) = P (z < 1.01) - P (z < 0.51)

P(302 < X < 304 ) = 0.8438 - 0.6950

P(302 < X < 304 ) = $0.1488

The Board of Ursinus College in Pennsylvania raised its tuition and fees 17.6 percent to $23,460 in 2000. It subsequently received 200 more applications than the year before. The president of the college surmised that "applicants had apparently concluded that if the college cost more, it must be better." Other colleges that raised tuition to match rival colleges in recent years include University of Notre Dame, Bryn Mawr College, Rice University, and the University of Richmond. They also experienced an increase in applications. In contrast, North Carolina Wesleyan College lowered their tuition and fees about 10 years ago by 22 percent and attracted fewer students. The college president concluded that "it didn't work out the way it had been hoped. People don't want cheap."

You are hired as a consultant to a President of a liberal arts college in the East. You are asked to evaluate a recommendation by the college's Admissions Director. Susan Hansen, to increase tuition and to reduce financial aid to students. Susan argues that the data from competing colleges suggest that the demand curves for colleges slope upward-the quantity demanded increases with price. Susan projects that the increase in tuition and reduction in financial aid will solve the school's financial problems. Last year, the college enrolled 400 new students who each paid an effective tuition of $15,000 (after financial aid), totaling $6,000,000. She projects that with the increased demand from charging an effective tuition of $25,000, the college will be able to enroll 600 new students (of equal or better quality), totaling $15,000,000.

Solution :

The demand curve : The quantity demanded for each price

                                         [tex]$D=Q(P)$[/tex]

The prices goes up, quantity demanded will decreases.

The price goes up, quantity demanded will increase

Board of the Ursinus College in Pennsylvania raised tuition fees : $ 23,460 which is 17.6 % more to 2000.

The applicants : 200 more from previous year.

Therefore the college cost most, then it must be better.

Other rival competitions have also seen same scenarios. When cost goes down, the demand decreases.

Susan's perceptive :

Demand increases with cost increase and the demand curve slopes upwards.

Our understanding is completely different with the understanding of the college administrative officer, Susan.

Our understanding is negative slope of the demand curve other than change in price of any other parameter will lead to shift in demand curve, either in or out.

If all the tuitions fees are increased, then financial aid needs to be sponsored by the 'state'. That will effect reserves which leads to the failure of the sole purpose of aids.

Our recommendation should be to tell the board members the long term effects of the increase in the tuitions fees and no financial aid will create.

During its first year of operations, the McCormick Company incurred the following manufacturing costs: Direct materials, $6 per unit, Direct labor, $4 per unit, Variable overhead, $5 per unit, and Fixed overhead, $220,000. The company produced 22,000 units, and sold 16,000 units, leaving 6,000 units in inventory at year-end. Income calculated under variable costing is determined to be $330,000. How much income is reported under absorption costing

Answers

Answer:

$390,000

Explanation:

Given the above information, we'll determine first the total variable cost.

Total variable cost = (direct materials + direct labor + variable overhead) × units produced

= ($6 + $4 + $5) × 22,000 units

= $15 × 22,000 units

= $330,000

Per unit fixed cost = Fixed cost / total units produced

= $220,000/$22,000

= $10

Fixed cost in inventory = Inventory at year end × Per unit fixed cost

= 6,000 × $10

= $60,000

Net income under absorption costing = income under variable costing + Fixed cost on inventory

= $330,000 + $60,000

= $390,000

Lightning Semiconductors produces 200,000 hi-tech computer chips per month. Each chip uses a component that Lightning makes in-house. The variable costs to make the component are $1.20 per unit, and the fixed costs are $1,300,000 per month. The company has been approached by a foreign producer who can supply the component, within acceptable quality standards, for $1.10 each. The fixed costs are unavoidable, and Lightning would have no other use for the facilities currently employed in making the component. What would be the effect if the company decides to outsource?

Gross margin = Revenue - Cost of goods sold

where,

Revenue = $25100

Cost of goods sold = (cost of Purchase × ( 1 - Discount rate)) + freight cost

Thus;

Cost of goods sold = $16800 - (16800 × 0.02)) + $480

Cost of goods sold = $16944

Thus;

Gross margin = $25100 - $16944

Gross margin = $8156

Bonita Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,419,800 and retained earnings of $5,569,300 at December 31, 2020. Bonita later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $99,040 and $31,710, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings.

Answers

Answer:cost of goods sold in 2020 = $1,352,470

retained earnings in December 31, 2020 =$5,537,590

Explanation:

For cost of goods sold in 2020

Corrected cost of goods sold =  Reported cost of goods sold in 2020 - overstated value of ending inventory in year 2019 + overstated value of ending inventory in year 2020

=  $1,419,800 -$99,040+  $31,710,

= $1,352,470    

For retained earnings in December 31, 2020

Corrected retained earnings == Reported retained earning in 2020 -  overstated value of ending inventory in year 2020

= $5,569,300-$31,710

=$5,537,590

A congresswoman from a state with several semiconductor factories argues that the government should impose a tariff on semiconductors because they are a necessary input into the production of various weapons. Free trade, she contends, would make the United States overly dependent on foreign countries for the supply of semiconductors and thus, in case of war, unable to make enough weapons to defend itself. Which of the following justifications is the senator using to argue for the trade restriction on semiconductors?

a. Infant-industry argument
b. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
c. Jobs argument
d. Unfair-competition argument
e. National-security argument

Answers

Answer:

National-security argument

Explanation:

Governments may intervene in markets for any reason at all.

A tariff is simply known as a tax

that is imposed on imports. There are various reasons why trade is restricted for product or services. The different arguments for restricting trade includes:

1. jobs argument

2. national security argument

3. infant-industry argument

4. unfair-competition argument

5. protection-as-bargaining-chip argument

The national security argument state that industries or product important to national security should be protected from foreign competition and not allow to focus mainly on dependence on imports that could be scattered during wartime.

The National Security Response is said to be as good as long as we base policy on true security needs.

On January 1, 2021, The Barrett Company purchased merchandise from a supplier. Payment was a noninterestbearing note requiring five annual payments of $20,000 on each December 31 beginning on December 31, 2021, and a lump-sum payment of $100,000 on December 31, 2025. A 10% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.Required:Calculate the amount at which Barrett should record the note payable and corresponding merchandise purchased on January 1, 2021.

Answers

Answer:

Barrett Company

The amount at which Barrett should record the note payable and corresponding merchandise purchased on January 1, 2021 is:

= $125,500.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Non-interest-bearing note annual payment = $20,000

Date of annual payments = December 31

Lump sum payment on December 31, 2025 = $100,000

Interest rate reflecting the time value of money = 10%

The amount for the note payable and corresponding merchandise on January 1, 2021 is:

PV annuity factor for 4 years at 10% = 3.170

Total PV of annual payments = $63,400 ($20,000 * 3.170)

PV of lump-sum payment =         62,100 ($100,000 * 0.621)

Total PV of payments =           $125,500

his Salary after tax? (round to the nearest
whole number)​

Answers

Answer:

$360,534

Explanation:

The computation of the salary after tax is shown below:

Let us assume the salary be x

So 1 by 8 of x  = 0.125x

And, 3 by 5 of x = 0.6x

Now

X - (0.125x + 0.6x) = 0.275x

Balance = 0.275x

5 by 8 of 0.275x  = 0.172x

0.275x - 0.172x = 0.103x

Now

0.103x = $37135

So,

x = $360,534

The department completed and transferred out 115,500 units this period. The ending inventory consists of 44,800 units that are 25% complete with respect to direct labor and overhead. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. The department incurred direct labor costs of $36,000 and overhead costs of $44,000 for the period. Assuming the weighted average method, the direct labor cost per equivalent unit (rounded to the nearest cent) is:

Answers

Answer:

$0.28/EUP

Explanation:

Calculation for the direct labor cost per equivalent unit (rounded to the nearest cent) is:

First step is to calculate the Total EUP's

Completed and transferred out 115,500

Add EGIP $11,200

(44,800 * 25%)

Total EUP's $126,700

Now let calculate direct labor cost per equivalent unit using this formula

Direct labor cost per equivalent unit=Cost / Eup

Let plug in the formula

Direct labor cost per equivalent unit=($36,000/$126,700)

Direct labor cost per equivalent unit=$0.28/EUP

Therefore Assuming the weighted average method, the direct labor cost per equivalent unit (rounded to the nearest cent) is:$0.28/EUP

The ending inventory $enter The ending inventory in dollars

Answers

Answer:

Cullumber Company

The ending inventory is:

= $4,888.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Item      Units     Unit Cost     Net Realizable Value   Value of Ending

Cameras:                                                                       Inventory (LCNRV)

Minolta      3            $172                 $152                             $456 ($152 * 3)

Canon       9              140                   170                              1,260 ($140 * 9)

Light meters:

Vivitar      13              130                   100                              1,300 ($100 * 13)

Kodak     16               117                    128                              1,872 ($117 * 16)

Total value of Ending Inventory based on LCNRV =          $4,888

b) The Lower of cost- or net realizable value method of valuing ending inventory determines the value by choosing the lower value between the cost price of the inventory and the net realizable value.  The purpose that is served by using the LCNRV method is that it reflects the decrease of inventory value when it goes below its original cost while at the same time it does not recognize the increased market value when the cost is lower.

Marigold Corp. took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $155,000 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $28,000 of goods purchased from Pelzer Corporation, FOB shipping point, and $21,800 of goods sold to Alvarez Company for $30,400, FOB destination. Both the Pelzer purchase and the Alvarez sale were in transit at year-end. What amount should Marigold report as its December 31 inventory

Answers

Answer: $‭204,800‬

Explanation:

When a good is shipped FOB shipping point, it means that the buyer assumes responsibility for the goods as soon as the goods reach the place they will be shipped from. The purchase from Pelzer should therefore be included in inventory because it has already been shipped.

A good shipped FOB Destination means that the buyer only assumes responsibility after the goods have been delivered to them. As the sale to Alvarez was still in transit, it is still the responsibility of Marigold and should be included in inventory.

Inventory is therefore:

= 155,000 + 28,000 + 21,800

= $‭204,800‬

Multiple Choice

Answers

Answer:

$132.70

Explanation:

The computation of the  total variable manufacturing cost per unit is shown below

But before that manufacturing overhead per unit is recorded

Variable manufacturing overhead

= (Cost at the highest activity - Cost at the lowest activity) ÷ (Highest activity-Lowest activity)

= [(2000 × 86.90) - (4000 × 55.30)] ÷ (2000 - 4000)

= (173,800 - 221,200) ÷ (-2000)

= 23.70 per unit

Now Total manufacturing cost per unit

= Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Variable Manufacturing Overhead

= $88.40 + $20.60 + $23.70

= $132.70
