Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. A reduction in business property taxes.

MC - No Change

AVC - No Change

AFC - Shift down

ATC - Shift down

Because business property taxes are a fixed cost, a reduction of this type would shift down bouth the AFC and ATC cost curves.

b. An increase in the nominal wages of production workers.

MC - Shift up

AVC - Shift up

AFC - No Change

ATC - Shift up

Production workers are direct labor, and as direct labor, their cost depends on the level of production. In other words, the wages of production workers are a variable cost, and an increase in their nominal wages would shift up the AVC, and the ATC.

The MC curve would shift up as well because now each additional unit of input (the production workers), becomes more expensive due to the wage increase.

c. A decrease in the price of electricity.

MC - Shift down

AVC - Shift down

AFC - Shift down

ATC - Shift down

Electricity can be both a fixed cost, and a variable cost. For example, the electricity used in the administrative offices is a fixed cost, while the electricity used to power machinery is a variable cost. As a result, a reduction in the price of it would shift down all the cost curves.

d. An increase in insurance rates on plant and equipment.

MC - No Change

AVC - No Change

AFC - Shift up

ATC - Shift up

Insurance rates on plant and equipment are a fixed cost, for this reason, an increase in the rates would shift up both the AFC and the ATC.

e. An increase in transportation costs.

MC - No Change

AVC - Shift up

AFC - No Change

ATC - Shift up

Transportation costs are mostly a variable cost: the more output, the more goods have to be delivered, the higher the transportation costs. An increase in these costs would shift up both the AVC and the ATC curves.

Suppose the borrowing rate rB=10% compounded annually. However, the lending rate (or equivalently, the interest rate on deposits) is only 8% compounded annually. Compute the difference between the upper and lower bounds on the price of an perpetuity that pays A=10,000\$ per year.

Answers

Answer: $25,000

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that the borrowing rate rB=10% compounded annually and the lending rate (or equivalently, the interest rate on deposits) is only 8% compounded annually.

The upper bounds on the price of an perpetuity that pays $10,000 per year will be:

= $10,000/10%

= $10,000/0.1

= $100,000

The lower bounds on the price of an perpetuity that pays $10,000 per year will be:

= $10,000/8%

= $10,000/0.08

= $125,000

The difference between the upper and lower bounds will now be:

= $125,000 - $100,000

= $25,000

Cox Media Corporation pays a coupon rate of 10 percent on debentures that are due in 15 years. The current yield to maturity on bonds of similar risk is 8 percent. The bonds are currently callable at $1,100. The theoretical value of the bonds will be equal to the present value of the expected cash flow from the bonds. Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.a. Find the market value of the bonds using semiannual analysis. (Ignore the call price in your answer. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)b. Do you think the bonds will sell for the price you arrived at in part a?

Answers

Answer:

a. Find the market value of the bonds using semiannual analysis.

bond's price = PV of maturity value + PV of coupon payments

PV of maturity value = $1,000 / (1 + 4%)³⁰ = $308.32PV of coupon payments = $50 x 17.292 (annuity factor 4%, n = 30) = $864.60

bond's price = $1,172.92

b. Do you think the bonds will sell for the price you arrived at in part a?

No, since they are currently callable at $1,100, their market price will be the call price. No investor will risk to pay more for a bond that can be called at a much lower price.

All of the following statements regarding leases are true except : A. For a capital lease the lessee records the leased item as its own asset. B. Capital leases do not transfer ownership of the asset under the lease, but operating leases often do. C. Capital leases create a long-term liability on the balance sheet, but operating leases do not. D. For a capital lease the lessee depreciates the asset acquired under the lease, but for an operating lease the lessee does not. E. For an operating lease the lessee reports the lease payments as rental expense.

Answers

Answer: B. Capital leases do not transfer ownership of the asset under the lease, but operating leases often do.

Explanation:

When using Capital Leases, the lessee will record the lease as if it were their own asset and as a result will also depreciate it. The lessee will also create a long term liability on their balance sheet for the asset.

Capital leases usually also involve a transfer of ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term. Operating Leases on the other hand do not have these features. They are more like a rental of an asset and as such are recorded as a rental expense in the books of the lessee. The ownership remains with the lessor in an Operating Lease and the asset will be returned once the lease period is over.

Overton Company has gathered the following information. Units in beginning work in process 20,300 Units started into production 185,700 Units in ending work in process 24,900 Percent complete in ending work in process: Conversion costs 60 % Materials 100 % Costs incurred: Direct materials $103,000 Direct labor $333,306 Overhead $186,200

Required:
a. Compute equivalent units of production for materials and for conversion costs.
b. Determine the unit costs of production.
c. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process.

Answers

Answer:

a. Materials = 206,000 units and Conversion costs = 196,040 units

b. Materials = $0.50 and Conversion costs = $2.65

c. Costs to units transferred out = $570,465 and Costs to units in process =  $59,511

Explanation:

a. Calculation of Equivalent Units of Production for Materials and for Conversion costs

Units Completed and Transferred  = Units in beginning work in process + Units started into production - Units in ending work in process

                                                          = 20,300 +  185,700 - 24,900

                                                          = 181,100

Materials

Units Completed and Transferred (181,100 × 100%) =    181,100

Units in Ending Work in Process (24,900 × 100%)   =    24,900

Equivalent Units of Production                                  = 206,000

Conversion costs

Units Completed and Transferred (181,100 × 100%) =    181,100

Units in Ending Work in Process (24,900 × 60%)    =     14,940

Equivalent Units of Production                                  =  196,040

b. Calculation of  the unit costs of production.

Unit costs of production = Total Cost / Equivalent Units of Production

Materials = $103,000 / 206,000

               = $0.50

Conversion costs = ($333,306 + $186,200) / 196,040

                             = $2.65

Total Unit Cost = $0.50 + $2.65

                         = $3.15

c. Assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process.

Costs to units transferred out = 181,100 × $3.15

                                                 = $570,465

Costs to units in process

Materials  ($0.50 × 24,900)             = $12,450

Conversion costs  ($3.15 × 14,940)  = $47,061

Total Cost                                         =  $59,511

Suppose a bond issued by the European Central Bank and denominated in euros pays 44​% per year. Today the exchange rate is 1.521.52 dollars per euro. It is expected that the exchange rate in one year will be 1.671.67 dollars per euro. What is the annual dollar return on this​ bond? A. negative 5−5 percent B. 1919 percent C. 44 percent D. 1414 percent

Answers

Answer:

D. 14 percent

Explanation:

The computation of the annual dollar return is shown below:

But before that we need to do following calculation

Let us assume the par value be $100

So, the bond par value is

= $100 × $1.52

= $152

The interest rate is

= $100 × 4%

= 4 euros

Future interest rate in dollars is

= 4 euros × 1.67

= $6.68

Now par value in the future is

= $100 × 1.67

= $167

Now the annual dollar return on this bond is

= (Future par value + Future interest rate in dollars - bond par value) ÷ (bond par value)

= ($167 + $6.68 - $152) ÷ ($152)

= 14.26%

hence, the correct option is d.

You are hoping to have $10,000 in your account 7 years from today in order to go on a reindeer expedition in Lapland. If your current balance is $6,000, what APR (compounded monthly) would be required if you are to have $10,000 in your account in 7 years?

Answers

Answer:

APR= 7.32%

Explanation:

The APR is computed as shown below:  

Future value = Present value (1 + r/ m)^nm

Future value = 10,000

Present value= 6,000

n=7

m=12

$ 10,000 = $ 6,000 (1 + r / 12 )^12 x 7

$ 10,000 = $ 6,000 (1 + r / 12 )^84

($ 10,000 / $ 6,000)^ 1 / 84 - 1 = r / 12

1.006099786 - 1 = r / 12

0.006099786 x 12 = r

r=0.006099786 x 12

r = 7.32%

APR= 7.32%

At the beginning of the year, Ann and Becky own equally all of the stock of Whitman, Inc., an S corporation. Whitman generates a $120,000 loss for the year. On the 189th day of the year, Ann sells her half of the Whitman stock to her son, Scott. Becky's stock basis is $41,300. How much of the Whitman loss belongs to Ann and Becky

Answers

Answer:

Becky's loss = $60,000

Ann's loss = $31,068

Explanation:

Assuming a 365 day year, the loss allocation should be as follows:

Ann (then Scott) 50% x $120,000 = $60,000Becky 50% x $120,000 = $60,000

From the 50% that corresponds to Ann:

Ann = 189/365 x $60,000 = $31,068.49 = $31,068Scott = $60,000 - $31,068 = $28,932

A fruit company sells oranges for 32 cents a pound plus $7.50 per order for shipping. If an order is over 100 pounds, shipping cost is reduced by $1.50. This program is supposed to ask the user for the number of pounds of oranges and then print the cost of the order, but it is all mixed up! Can you put the lines in the right order?

Answers

Answer:

def cost_of_order(amount):

        cost = amount * 32

        if amount <= 100:

                print (cost + 7.50)

        else:

                print(cost + 7.50 - 1.50)  

cost_of_order(10)

Explanation:

This question requires we write a code to get the cost of the order. The total cost of the order including the shipping cost . Let us use function to solve this and the code will be written in python .

def cost_of_order(amount):

The first line of code depict a function we declared and called it cost_of_order. The parameter is amount which is the weight of the oranges ordered in pounds.

cost = amount * 32

Now the cost of the orange will be the product of the weight in pounds and the price of each pound. The actual price of the product will be 32 multiply by the amount in pounds.

if amount <= 100:

This simply means if the amount in pounds of the orange is less or equal to 100 the next line of code we run

print (cost + 7.50)

This block of code will run if the amount of orange in pounds is less than or equals to 100. Remember the amount in pounds must be over 100 before the cost of shipping will be deducted by $ 1.50 . Therefore, the cost will be added to $7.50 and printed.

else:

this simply means otherwise

print(cost + 7.50 - 1.50)

This line of code will be printed if the amount in pounds is over 100. Notice that $1.50 is reduced from the usual cost(including the shipping cost)

cost_of_order(10)

We call the function at this stage with the parameter which is the amount in pounds.

Run this code you will get the cost of the order .

Which of the following is the best reason why Y cannot rescind? a. Because Y didn't make an express misstatement regarding the faucet, but merely said nothing.b. Because Y's failure to notice the leaky faucet means that he did not justifiably rely on X's "misstatement."c. Because X's failure to disclose the condition of the faucet is not material.d. Because X didn't do anything to actively hide the leaky faucet.21

Answers

Answer:

c. Because X's failure to disclose the condition of the faucet is not material.

Explanation:

In order to consider X's failure as material and therefore allowing Y to rescind the contract, the failure to disclose must involve an element of the contract that is in such a bad condition that it would make the contract as "irreparably broken".  

In this case, contract law provides other remedies that Y can use to try to make X pay for the repairs, but Y cannot unilaterally rescind the contract.

A stock just paid a dividend of $3. The stock is expected to increase its dividend payment by 30% per year for the next 3 years. After that, dividends will grow at a rate of 8% forever. If the required rate of return is 10%, what is the price of the stock today?

Answers

Answer:

Price of stock today = $334.56

Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.  

This model would be applied as follows:

Year                                              Present Value ( PV)

1                   3 × 1.3  × 1.1^(-1) =    3.5454

2                  3 × 1.3^2  × 1.1^(-2)  =  4.1900

3                  3 × 1.3^3  × 1.1^(-3) = 4.9519

Total                                             12.6874

Year 4 and beyond

This will be done in two steps

Step 1

D× (1+g)/k-g

3 × 1.3^4/(0.1-0.08)

=428.415

Step 2

Present Value in year 0

=428.415  × 1.1^(-3) = 321.87

Total present value =  12.6874 + 321.87 = 334.56

The specifications for a plastic liner for a concrete highway project calls for thickness of 4.0 mmplus or minus0.08 mm. The standard deviation of the process is estimated to be 0.02 mm.
a) The standard deviation of the process is estimated to be 0.02 mm.
b) The upper specification limit for this product = ? mm (round your response to three decimal places).
c) The lower specification limit for this product = ? mm (round to three decimal places)
d) The process capability index (CPk) = ? (round to three decimal places)
e) The upper specification lies about ? standard deviations from the centerline (mean thickness)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

b. The upper specification limit is

= 4 + 0.08

= 4.080 mm

c. The Lower specification limit is

= 4 - 0.08

= 3.920 mm

d. The process capability index is

= min ((Upper specification limit - Mean) ÷ (3 × Standard deviation)), ((Mean - Lower specification limit)÷ (3 × Standard deviation))

= min (0.08 ÷ (3 × 0.02)), (0.08 ÷ (3 × 0.02))

= min (1.333, 1.333)

So it would be 1.333

e. Upper specification = 4.08 mm

Mean line = 4.0 mm

Now,

The upper specification lies at a distance = Upper specification - Mean line

= 4.08 mm - 4.0 mm

= 0.08 mm

upper specification =Upper specification lies ÷ One standard deviation

Comparative Income Statements For Years Ending December 31, 2007 and 2008 2007 2008 Unit sales 5,000 8,000 Sales revenue $60,000 $96,000 Expenses (64,000) (76,000) Profit (loss) $(4,000) $20,000 (a) Determine the break-even point in units. Answer units (b) Determine the unit sales volume required to earn a profit of $5,000. Answer

Answers

Answer:

(a)

5,500 units

(b)

6,125 units

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the per unit selling price.

                        2007       2008

Unit sales        5,000      8,000

Sales revenue $60,000 $96,000

Selling Price    $12           $12

Now we need th separate the vairbale and fixed cost from total expense using high low method

Variable cost = ( Higher activity Expense - Lower activity Expense ) / ( Higher activity - Lower activity )

Variable cost = ( $76,000 - $64,000 ) / ( 8,000 units - 5,000 units )

Variable cost = $12,000 / 3,000 units = $4 per unit

Fixed cost = $76,000 - ( $4 x 8,000 units ) = $44,000

Contribution Margin = Selling Price - Variable cost = $12 - $4 = $8

(a)

Breakeven Point = Fixed Cost  / Contributin margin per unit

Breakeven Point = $44,000 / $8 = 5,500 units

(b)

Target sales = ( Fixed cost + Desired Profit ) / Contribution margin per unit

Target sales = ( $44,000 + $5,000 ) / $8 = 6,125 units

A store will give you a 2% discount on the cost of your purchase if you pay cash today. Otherwise, you will be billed the full price with payment due in 1 month. What is the implicit borrowing rate (EAR) being paid by customers who choose to defer payment for the month? Show your calcuation steps. If you use the financial calculator, tell me your inputs and output (i.e. pv,fv,n, i/Y, pmt).

Answers

Answer:

The implicit borrowing rate (EAR) being paid by customers who choose to defer payment for the month is 24.48%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the implicit borrowing rate we would have to calculate the following formula:

implicit borrowing rate=Discount%/(1-Discount%) *12/( payment months - discount month)

According to the given data we have the following:

Discount % =2

Payment days = 1 month

Therefore, implicit borrowing rate=2%/(1-2%)*12/1

implicit borrowing rate=(0.02/0.98)*12

implicit borrowing rate=24.48%

The implicit borrowing rate (EAR) being paid by customers who choose to defer payment for the month is 24.48%

When comparing the weighted-average and FIFO methods of process costing, which items are the same in both methods? (

Answers

Answer:

Objectives, Concepts and Journal Entry Accounts

Explanation:

The reason is that the objective of the FIFO and Weighted average methods is the same which is to assign the costs that were incurred to convert the raw inventory into finished goods.

The underlying concept in both of the method is cost flow assumption which is the transfer of the cost that was assigned to finished goods, to cost of goods sold.

The journal entry accounts are the same accounts used for weighted average method, LIFO and FIFO methods.

So these are the similarities which are found while comparing FIFO, LIFO and weighted average methods of process costing.

Future Value At age 20 you invest $1,000 that earns 7 percent each year. At age 30 you invest $1,000 that earns 10 percent per year. In which case would you have more money at age 60?

Answers

Answer:

In the case of age 30, there will be more money at the age of 60

Explanation:

When person start investing at the age of 20 then total year till 60 years age is  = 40 years.

Interest rate (r ) = 7 percent or 0.07.

Investment amount (Present value) = $1000

Now the total amount at the age of 60 years is calculated below.

[tex]Total \ amount = Present \ value (1 + r)^{n} \\= 1000 ( 1 + 0.07 ) ^{40}\\= 14974.4578 \ dollars[/tex]

Now calculate the total amount at the age of 60 years when he invest at the age of 30 and earns interest rate 10 percent. Now the number of years is 30.

[tex]Total \ amount = Present \ value (1 + r)^{n} \\= 1000 ( 1 + 0.1 ) ^{30}\\= 17449.4023 \ dollars[/tex]

During the week ended May 15, 2019, Scott Fairchild worked 40 hours. His regular hourly rate is $15. Assume that all of his earnings are subject to social security tax at a rate of 6.2 percent and Medicare tax at a rate of 1.45 percent. He also has deductions of $32 for federal income tax and $22 for health insurance. What is his gross pay for the week? What is the total of his deductions for the week? What is his net pay for the week?

Answers

Answer:

Gross pay = 600

Deductions = 99.9

Net Pay = 500.1

Explanation:

Requirement A:

Gross Pay = 40 hours x $15/hour

Gross Pay = $600

Requirement B:

Security Tax ( 600 x  6.2%)  = $37.2

Medicare tax ( 600 x 1.45%) = $8.7

Federal Income = $32

Health Insurance = $22

Total deductions = $99.9

Requirement C :

Net Pay = Gross pay - all deductions

Net Pay = $600 - 99.9

Net Pay = 500.1

1b. 10.00

2a. 250%

2b. $339,500

Explanation:

Contribution Income Statement : Shows Separately the Variable Costs and Fixed Cost

Degree of operating leverage = Contribution / EBIT

                                                  =  $970,000 / $97,000

                                                  =  10.00

Increase in net operating income = Degree of operating leverage × Percentage Increase in Sales

                                                       = 10.00 × 25%

                                                       = 250%

Expected amount of net operating income = Last Year`s net operating income × 3.5

                                                                        =  $97,000 × 3.5

                                                                        = $339,500

Your uncle is considering investing in a new company that will produce high quality stereo speakers. The sales price would be set at 1.70 times the variable cost per unit; the variable cost per unit is estimated to be $75.00; and fixed costs are estimated at $1,170,000. What sales volume would be required to break even, i.e., to have EBIT

Answers

Answer:

The sales volume would be required to break even is $22,285

Explanation:

In order to calculate the sales volume would be required to break even we would have to calculate the following:

Breakeven sales = Fixed cost/contribution per unit

fixed costs are estimated at $1,170,000

contribution per unit=selling price per unit - variable cost per unit

selling price per unit=1.70*$75

selling price per unit=$127.50

Hence, contribution per unit=$127.50-$75

contribution per unit=$52.50

Therefore, Breakeven sales =$1,170,000/$52.50

Breakeven sales =$22,285

The sales volume that would be required to break even is $22,285.71.

Sales price per unit=Variable costs per unit× Price multiple over variable costs

Sales price per unit=$75.00×1.70

Sales price per unit= $127.50

 

Sales volume=$1,170,000 / ($127.50 - $75.00)

Sales volume=$1,170,000 /$52.5

Sales volume=$22,285.71

Inconclusion the sales volume that would be required to break even is $22,285.71.

The firm uses the periodic system, and there are 25 units of the commodity on hand at the end of the year. What is the amount of the inventory at the end of the year using the LIFO method? a. $1,805 b. $1,575 c. $3,815 d. $1,685

Answers

Answer: $1,575

Explanation:

When using Last In First Out (LIFO) method of inventory valuation, it is assumed that the most current goods purchased are the ones to be sold first. This means that the remaining inventory are the earlier ones purchased.

25 units remain at the end of the year. These will therefore come from;

The 10 units of beginning Inventory at $60 each

The remaining 15 units will come from the first purchase at $65 each.

Amount of Inventory = (10 * 60) + (15 * 65)

= 600 + 975

= $1,575
