Straker Industries estimated its short-run costs using a U-shaped average variable cost function of the form and obtained the following resultsDEPENDENT VARIABLE: AVC R-SQUARE F-RATIO P-VALUE ON FOBSERVATIONS: 35 0.8713 108.3 0.0001VARIABLE PARAMETER ESTIMATE STANDARD ERROR T-RATIO P-VALUE INTERCEPT 43.40 13.80 3.14 0.0036Q -2.80 0.90 -3.11 0.0039Q2 0.20 0.05 4.00 0.0004What is the estimated equation for average variable cost (AVC)?What is the estimated equation for short-run marginal cost (SMC)?What is the estimated equation for total variable cost (TVC)?At what level of output is AVC at its minimum point for Straker Industries?If Straker Industries produces 20 units of output, what is its estimated TVC, AVC and SMC?
Answer:
Note: The organized table is attached as picture below
i. What is the estimated equation for average variable cost (AVC)?
Intercept value = 43.40, Parameter estimates of Q and Q2 = -2.80 & 0.20 respectively.
Hence, the estimated equation for AVC is:
AVC = 43.40 - 2.80Q + 0.20Q2
ii. What is the estimated equation for total variable cost (TVC)?
Similarly, the estimated equation for TVC is
= AVC * Q
= 43.40Q - 2.80Q2 + 0.20Q3
iii. At what level of output is AVC at its minimum point for Straker Industries?
AVC will attain its minimum value when its derivative is set = 0. This occurs when:
-2.80 = -0.40Q
Q = 7.
iv. What is the estimated equation for short-run marginal cost (SMC)?
SMC is the derivative of TVC, its estimated equation is given by:
= 43.40 - 5.60Q + 0.60Q2
iv. If Straker Industries produces 20 units of output, what is its estimated TVC, AVC and SMC?
TVC = 43.40Q - 2.80Q^2 + 0.20Q^3
TVC = 43.40(20) - 2.80(20)^2 + 0.20(20)^3
TVC = 868 - 1120 + 1600
TVC = 1348
At 20 unit of output, its estimated TVC is 1348
AVC = 43.40 - 2.80Q + 0.20Q^2
AVC = 43.40 - 2.80(20) + 0.20(20)^2
AVC = 43.40 - 56 + 80
AVC = 67.4
At 20 unit of output, its estimated AVC is 67.4
SMC = 43.40 - 5.60Q + 0.60Q^2
SMC = 43.40 - 5.60(20) + 0.60(20)^2
SMC = 43.40 - 112 + 240
SMC = 171.4
At 20 unit of output, its estimated SMC is 171.4.

D. provides a means of determining the minimal number of units that need to be sold to prevent a financial loss.
E. identifies the optimal sales price for any new product.
Answer:
D. provides a means of determining the minimal number of units that need to be sold to prevent a financial loss.
Explanation:
Breakeven-Analysis provides a means of determining the minimal number of units that need to be sold to prevent a financial loss.
It is an important tool in predicting the volume of activity, the costs to be incurred, the sales to be made, and the profit to be earned is. It is used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating income and net income. It is also known as the cost-volume-profit analysis in financial accounting.
Generally, to use the Breakeven-Analysis, financial experts usually make some assumptions and these are;
1. Sales price per unit product is kept constant.
2. Variable costs per unit product are kept constant and the total fixed costs of production are kept constant i.e costs can be divided into fixed and variable components.
3. All the units produced are sold i.e there is no change in inventory quantities during the period.
5. The costs accrued are as a result of change in business activities.
6. A company selling more than a product should simply sell in the same mix i.e the sales mix is constant.
The following information relates to next year's projected operating results of the Children's Division of Grunge Clothing Corporation: If Children's Division is dropped, half of the fixed costs above can be eliminated. What will be the effect on Grunge's profit next year if Children's Division is dropped instead of being kept? Select one: a. $50,000 increase b. $250,000 increase c. $250,000 decrease d. $550,000 increase
Question:
The following information relates to next year's projected operating results of the Children's Division of Grunge Clothing Corporation:
Contribution margin.... 200,000
Fixed Expense.... 500,000
net operating loss..... (300,000)
If Children's Division is dropped, half of the fixed costs above can be eliminated. What will be the effect on Grunge's profit next year if Children's Division is dropped instead of being kept?
A) 50,000 increase
B) 250,000 increase
C)250,000 decrease
D) 550,000 increase
Answer:
Option A is correct
Increase in profit = $50,000
Explanation:
To determine whether or not it will be profitable to drop a loss making division, we compare the savings in fixed cost to the lost contribution from the division.
It is noteworthy that only the fixed cost attributed to division can only be saved should the division be shut down.
The analysis is done as follows:
$
Lost contribution (200,000 )
Savings in fixed cost (1/2× 500,000) 250,000
Net savings 50,000
Increase in profit = $50,000

Which of the following is NOT considered a step in activity-based costing?
A. Trace or allocate overhead costs to activity cost pools.
B. Identify and classify the major activities involved in the manufacture of specific products.
C. Identify a single overhead rate as the predetermined overhead rate.
. The overhead traced or allocated to the activity cost pools is assigned to products using cost drivers.
Answer: C. Identify a single overhead rate as the predetermined overhead rate.
Explanation:
Activity based costing works by assigning indirect and overhead costs to the activities that caused the costs to be incurred and then assigning those activities to the products those activities helped produce such that indirect and overhead costing is more accurate.
The steps involved include, tracing and allocating overhead costs to activity coat pools, identifying and classifying the major activities involved in the manufacture of specific products, and assigning overhead costs to products based on cost drivers.
It does not include identifying a single overhead rate as the predetermined overhead rate. This is a step is in Standard Costing.
The most recent financial statements for Schenkel Co. are shown here: Income Statement Balance Sheet Sales $ 14,500 Current assets $ 12,000 Debt $ 16,500 Costs 8,400 Fixed assets 29,000 Equity 24,500 Taxable income $ 6,100 Total $ 41,000 Total $ 41,000 Taxes (40%) 2,440 Net income $ 3,660 Assets and costs are proportional to sales. Debt and equity are not. The company maintains a constant 30 percent dividend payout ratio. No external equity financing is possible. What is the sustainable growth rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Sustainable growth rate %
Answer:
0.1046 or 10.46%
Explanation:
The computation of the sustainable growth rate is shown below:
The Sustainable growth rate of the firm is
= Return on Equity × ( 1 - Dividend Payout Ratio )
where,
Dividend Payout Ratio = 30%
And,
Return on equity is
= Net Income ÷ Shareholder 's equity
= $3660 ÷ $ 24,500
= 0.14938
So,
Sustainable growth rate is
= 0.14938 × (1 - 30%)
= 0.1046 or 10.46%
g An accelerated depreciation method: Group of answer choices Results in reporting higher earnings every year. Depreciation an asset over a shorter life than does the straight-line method. Recognizes more depreciation expense in the early years of an asset's useful life and less in the later years. Is required for assets that become technologically obsolete before they physically wear out.
Answer:
The correct answer is the third option: Recognizes more depreciation expense in the early years of an asset's useful life and less in the later years.
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Accelerated Depreciation" is refered to a method used in the accouting fields in order to determine how much of a permanent asset has been worn out by the time that has passed and to put that amount in the accounts of the company so that there is a record of the money that has been lost for those depreciations. Moreover, in difference with the traditional method, this one uses a process in where the depreciation will be higher in the early years of the asset while in the latest will be less depreciation.

In January, Stripe, Inc. purchased 50 shares of its own $10 par value common stock for $20 per share. In March, Stripe sold 10 shares at $25 per share. The journal entry to record the sale of treasury stock using the cost method would include a (debit/credit) Blank 1 of 2 to Treasury Stock in the amount of $ Blank 2 of 2.
Answer: credit; $200
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the sale of treasury stock using the cost method would include a credit to Treasury Stock in the amount of $200.
Using the cost method, the journal entry should reflect the sale of the stock at the original price it was purchased at ( its cost). With the original cost of purchase being $20, the 10 shares that were sold will be recorded as;
= 10 shares * $20
= $200
This will be credited to the Treasury account and along with the additional amount made on the sale, debited to the cash account to reflect a cash increase.

The president of Nash Company is considering a proposal by the factory manager for the purchase of a machine for $72,500. The useful life would be eight years, with no residual scrap value. The use of the machine will produce a positive annual cash flow of $14,000 a year for eight years. An annuity table shows that the present value of $1 received annually for eight years and discounted at 10% is 5.335. The net present value of the proposal, discounted at 10%, is:___________A. ($3,868).B. $2,190.C. $3,868.D. Zero.
Answer:
B. $2,190
Explanation:
Calculation for the net present value of the proposal
Using this formula
Net present value=(Annual cash flow×Discounted present value)- Machine purchase amount
Let plug in the formula
Net present value=($14,000 ×5.335)-$72,500
Net present value=$74,690-$72,500
Net present value= $2,190
Therefore the Net present value will be $2,190

Answer:
Return on Assets (2006) = 7.60 %
Explanation:
Return on Assets = Earnings Before Interest and Tax ÷ Total Assets
Therefore,
Return on Assets (2006) = ($115,000 + $30,000) / ( $600,000 + $60,000 + $900,000) × 100
= $118,000 / $1,560,000 × 100
= 7.60 % (one decimal place)

Assume that your aunt sold her house on December 31, and to help close the sale she took a second mortgage in the amount of $10,000 as part of the payment. The mortgage has a quoted (or nominal) interest rate of 12%; it calls for payments every 6 months, beginning on June 30, and is to be amortized over 10 years. Now, 1 year later, your aunt must inform the IRS and the person who bought the house about the interest that was included in the two payments made during the year. (This interest will be income to your aunt and a deduction to the buyer of the house.) To the closest cent, what is the total amount of interest that was paid during the first year
Answer:
Total interest paid during the first year: $1,183.69
Explanation:
First, we need to know the installment amount:
[tex]PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\[/tex]
PV 10,000.00
time 20
rate 0.06
[tex]10000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-20} }{0.06} = C\\[/tex]
C $ 871.85
now we calcualte the interest and amortization made in the first payment:
interest: 10,000 x 6% = 600
Amortization 871,85 - 600 = 271,85
Principal at second installment:
10,000 - 271.85 = 9,728.15
Interest 9,728.15 x 0.06 = 583,69
Total interest: 583,69 + 600 = 1.183,69

________is due to the inability to "successfully" adapt in the new country.
Answer:
Acculturative stress
Explanation:
Acculturation can be defined as the experiences and changes, which may be psychological, social or cultural that individuals and group of people undergo when they come into contact or are trying to adapt with a different culture in a society.
Hence, acculturation involves the process of transferring customs, beliefs and values from a cultural group to another.
This ultimately implies that, acculturative stress is due to the inability to "successfully" adapt in the new country. For instance, an African immigrant who migrates to the United States of America may experience a significant level of stressors in adapting to the cultural values, customs and beliefs of the people living in the particular state or region.

Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data: Total machine-hours 32,600 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 195,600 Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 4.00 Recently, Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job 10 Total machine-hours 30 Direct materials $ 550 Direct labor cost $ 1,100 The total job cost for Job T687 is closest to:
Answer:
Total cost= $1,900
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total machine-hours 32,600
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 195,600
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 4.00
Job T687:
Total machine-hours 30
Direct materials $ 550
Direct labor cost $ 1,100
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= (195,600/32,600) + 4
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10 per machine hour
Now, we can determine the total cost:
Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
Total cost= 500 + 1,100 + 10*30
Total cost= $1,900

Convex Mechanical Supplies produces a product with the following costs as of July 1, 20X1: Material $5 Labor 3 Overhead 2 $10 Beginning inventory at these costs on July 1 was 11,500 units. From July 1 to December 1, Convex produced 26,000 units. These units had a material cost of $7 per unit. The costs for labor and overhead were the same. Convex uses FIFO inventory accounting. a. Assuming that Convex sold 28,000 units during the last six months of the year at $14 each, what would gross profit be?
Answer:
Gross profit= $79,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
July 1, 20X1:
Material $5
Labor 3
Overhead 2
Total= $10
Beginning inventory at these costs on July 1 was 11,500 units.
From July 1 to December 1, Convex produced 26,000 units.
These units had a material cost of $7 per unit.
First, we need to determine the cost of goods sold. Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the COGS is calculated using the cost of the first units produces.
COGS= 11,500*10 + 16,500*12= $313,000
Now, we can calculate the gross profit:
Gross profit= sales - cogs
Gross profit= 28,000*14 - 313,000
Gross profit= $79,000
