Answer:
A) Current revenues = $600,000
Predicted revenues = $600,000
B) Current variable cost = $7,000
Predicted variable cost = $9187.5
C) Current total contribution margin = $593,000
Predicted total contribution margin = $590,812.5
Current product margin = $550,000
Predicted product margin = $547,812.5
I would recommend that she shouldn't decrease the price.
Explanation:
A) Current revenues = $30 × 20000 tests = $600,000
Predicted revenues; She is thinking of lowering her price by 20 percent and also raising her current volume by 25 percent, thus;
Predicted revenues = (100% - 20%) × $30 × 20000 × (100% + 25%) = $600,000
B) Current variable cost = $7,000
she expects her variable cost per test will go up by 5 percent, thus;
Predicted variable cost = (7000/20000) × (100% + 5%) × 20000 × (100% + 25%) = $9187.5
C) Current total contribution margin = $600000 - $7,000 = $593,000
Predicted total contribution margin = $600000 - $9187.5 = $590,812.5
Fixed cost = $50000 - $7,000 = $43,000
Thus;
Current product margin = $593,000 - $43,000 = $550,000
Predicted product margin = $590,812.5 - $43,000 = $547,812.5
The predicted product margin is lesser than the current one, so my recommendation to her would be that she shouldn't decrease the price. This is because the lower selling price and higher volume does not lead to an increase in the revenue derived from sales, but instead increases the variable costs, which in turn causes a decrease in product margin.
Sorin Incorporated, a company that produces and sells a single product, has provided its contribution format income statement for January. Sales (4,000 units) $ 112,000 Variable expenses 47,040 Contribution margin 64,960 Fixed expenses 46,800 Net operating income $ 18,160 If the company sells 4,700 units, its total contribution margin should be closest to: (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Total contribution margin= $76,328
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= 64,960 / 4,000
Unitary contribution margin= $16.24
Now, the total contribution margin for 4,700 units:
Total contribution margin= 16.24*4,700
Total contribution margin= $76,328
Consider the following information about employment across industries in Chicago.
Number of employees Location Quotient
Manufacturing 58,435 0.559
Finance and insurance 102,751 1.825
Administrative and support 107,618 1.181
Educational services 9,379 1.566
Health care and social assistance 179,570 1.046
Arts, entertainment, and recreation 19,132 0.986
If there were a national downturn in these industries, which is likely to be most closely linked to the residential real estate market in Chicago?
A. Manufacturing
B. Finance and Insurance
C. Administrative and Support
D. Educational services
E. Health care and social assistance
F. Arts, entertainment, and recreation
G. None of the above.
Answer:
B. Finance and Insurance
Explanation:
The Location Quotient (LQ) value of finance and insurance is the highest (1.825) and its employment concentration (102,751) is higighesth as well although not the highest.
We know that when (LQ) is greater that 1, its indicates the high concentration in regional growth and opportunities as finance and insurance is concerned.
On the other hand lowest, (LQ) at manufacturing is less than 1 and the employment is also low (58,435), that indicates that manufacturing employment has less of a share of the total in regional growth and opportunities.
So, if there were a national downturn in these industries, Finance and Isurance is likely to be most closely linked to the residential real estate market in Chicago.
Trade credit and discounts are important strategies used by firms in the daily operations of their business. Calculate the cost of a firm's trade credit in each of the following situations (answers should be carried out to 2 decimal points, e.g. 35.78%, not 35% or 36% !) a) 2/12, Net 32 b) 3/15, Net 36 c) 2.5/18, Net 35 d) 2.25/20, Net 38
Answer:
When a discount is given as 2/12, Net 32, it means that the customer is allowed a 2% discount if they pay off their purchase in 12 days. If they don't, they would have to pay off the full amount in 32 days.
The Cost of a firm's credit is calculated by the formula:
= Discount %/ ( 100% - Discount %) * (360/Allowed payment days - Discount days)
a. 2 / 12, Net 32
= (2%/ (100 - 2% )) * (360 / (32 - 12))
= 36.73%
b) 3/15, Net 36
= (3%/ (100 - 3% )) * (360 / (36 - 15))
= 53.02%
c) 2.5/18, Net 35
= (2.5%/ (100 - 2.5% )) * (360 / (35 - 18))
= 54.30%
d) 2.25/20, Net 38
= (2.25%/ (100 - 2.25% )) * (360 / (38 - 20))
= 46.04%
A small town is considering paving paradise hotel to put up a parking lot. The land will cost $25,000 and the construction of the lot is estimated to be $150,000. Each year, costs associated with the parking lot are estimated to be $17,500. The income from the lot is expected to be $18,000 the first year and increase by $3,500 each year for the 12 year life of the lot. Determine the B/C ratio if interest rate is 12%. [4 points]
Answer:
0.71
Explanation:
The benefit cost ratio is used to determine the profitability of an investor. It is determined by dividing the present value of benefit by the present value of cost
Benefit cost ratio (BC) = present value of benefits / present value of costs
if BC is greater than 1, the project is profitable
If BC is less than 1, the project is not profitable
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Present value of the benefits
Cash flow in year 1 = $18,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $18,000 + 3500 = $21500
Cash flow in year 3 = $18,000 + (3500 x 2) = $25,000
Cash flow in year 4 = $18,000 + (3500 x 3) = $28500
Cash flow in year 5 = $18,000 + (3500 x 4) = $32,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $18,000 + (3500 x 5) = $35,500
Cash flow in year 7 = $18,000 + (3500 x 6) = $39,000
Cash flow in year 8 = $18,000 + (3500 x 7) = $42,500
Cash flow in year 9 = $18,000 + (3500 x 8) = $46,000
Cash flow in year 10 = $18,000 + (3500 x 9) = $49500
Cash flow in year 11 = $18,000 + (3500 x 10) = $53,000
Cash flow in year 12 = $18,000 + (3500 x 11) = $56,500
I = 12 %
PV = $202,331.70
Present value of the cost
Cash flow in year 0 = $25,000 + $150,000 = $175,000
Cash flow in year 1 to 12 = $17,500.
I = 12 %
PV = $283,401.55
B/C ratio = $202,331.70 / $283,401.55 = 0.71
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $210 and $172, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $8 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 128,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below :
Alpha Beta
Direct materials $40 $24
Direct labor $38 $34
Variable manufacturing overhead $25 $23
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead $33 $36
Variable selling expenses $30 $26
Common fixed expenses $33 $28
Total cost per unit $199 $171
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.
Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 113,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 28,000 additional Alphas for a price of $152 per unit. If Cane accepts the customer's offer, it will decrease Alpha sales to regular customers by 13,000 units.
a. Calculate the incremental net operating income if the order is accepted. (Loss amount should be indicated with a minus sign.)
b. Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 108,000 Betas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much will profits increase or decrease?
c. Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 58,000 Betas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much will profits increase or decrease?
d. Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 78,000 Betas and 98,000 Alphas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, its sales representatives could increase sales of Alpha by 11,000 units. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much would profits increase or decrease?
e. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 98,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 98,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $152 per unit. If Cane buys 98,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, how much will profits increase or decrease?
f. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 73,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 73,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $152 per unit. If Cane buys 73,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, how much will profits increase or decrease?
Answer:
Cane Company
a) The incremental net operating income
= -$964,000
b. Profits would decrease by $3,132,000.
c. Profits would decrease by $1,682,000.
d. Profits would decrease by $1,778,000.
e. If Cane buys 98,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, profits (savings) would increase by $588,000.
f. If Cane buys 73,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, profits (savings) would increase by $438,000.

Variable manufacturing overhead $25 $23
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead $33 $36
Variable selling expenses $30 $26
Total incremental per unit $166 $143
Selling price per unit $210 $172
Contribution margin per unit $44 $29
Total Revenue for 28,000 at $152 per unit $4,256,000
Total avoidable cost for 28,000 at $166 (4,648,000)
Loss: Revenue due to decrease in regular
customers (13,000 *$210) 2,730,000
Total avoidable cost of 13,000 * $166 2,158,000 (572,000)
Operating loss if the order is accepted -$964,000
Beta:
Selling price per unit = $172
Incremental cost per unit = $143
Contribution per unit = $29
Total contribution margin = $3,132,000 ($29 * 108,000)
Total contribution margin = $1,682,000 ($29 * 58,000)
Total contribution margin = $2,262,000 ($29 * 78,000)
Increase in alpha contribution (484,000) ($44 * 11,000)
Loss of profit = $1,778,000
Cost price for outside supply = $152
Incremental unit cost (internal) $166
Difference in cost per unit $6
Profits increase from outside supplier = $6 * 98,000 = $588,000
Profits increase from outside supplier = $6 * 73,000 = $438,000
Mortensen Industries, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records:
Total equivalent units of materials: 5,000
Total equivalent units of conversion: 4,400
Units started and completed during the period: 3,500
On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
a. 80%.b. 70%.c. 60%.d. 40%.
Answer:
c. 60%.
Explanation:
Calculation for what the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:
First step is to calculate the Ending WIP
Ending WIP = 5,000 - 3,500
Ending WIP = 1,500 units
Now let calculate the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion using this formula
Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completio
4,400 = 3,500 + (x% * 1,500)
4,400 = 3,500 + 15x
15x = 4,400 - 3,500
15x = 900
x = 900/15
x = 60%
Therefore the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:60%
You just got a job and plan to save for the college expenses for your kids. You have a son and a daughter. Your son is 4 years old, and your daughter is only 1 year old. Both of them plan to go to a four-year college at the age of 18. The estimated college expense is about $40,000 per year. Assume you plan to invest into a portfolio that offers you return about 6% per year until your daughter is graduated from college. How much money do you need to save every year if your first saving is in one year
Answer:
$11,508.25
Explanation:
your son will start college in 14 years, and the present value of his college tuition = $40,000 x 3.4651 (PVIFA, 6%, 4 periods) = $138,604
your daughter will start college in 17 years, so you need in today's dollars $138,604
you will need to save enough money to cover both tuitions;
money required to cover your son's tuition = $138,604 / 21.015 (FVIFA, 6%, 14 periods) = $6,595.48
money required to cover your daughter's tuition = $138,604 / 28.213 (FVIFA, 6%, 14 periods) = $4,912.77
total annual savings = $11,508.25

Nattel Corp. issues 10,000, $1,000 face amount bonds at 104. Each bond can be converted into 25 shares of no-par common stock. Margarita, Inc., purchased 2,500 of the bonds and converts them after 2 years. At that time, the balance in the premium on bond investment is $75,000. Margarita should recognize this conversion by debiting investment in common stock for
Answer: $2,575,000
Explanation:
The value of the bonds purchased is:
= 2,500 * 1,000
= $2,500,000
There is a premium on the bon investment so the net value of the bonds is:
= 2,500,000 + 75,000
= $2,575,000
This is the amount that will be converted to common stock and so should be debited to the investment in common stock.
Sheridan Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,322,900 and retained earnings of $4,854,000 at December 31, 2020. Sheridan later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $106,470 and $36,820, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings. Corrected cost of goods sold $enter a dollar amount Corrected 12/31/20 retained earnings $enter a dollar amount
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
With regard to the above information,
1. Corrected cost of goods sold is computed as
= Cost of goods sold + Overstated ending inventories 2019 - overstated ending inventories 2020
= $1,322,900 + $106,470 - $36,820
= $1,253,250
2. Corrected 12/31/2020 retained earnings is computed as
= Retained earnings DEC 2020 - overstated ending inventories 2020
= $4,854,000 - $36,820
= $4,817,180

c. How much warranty expense is reported for January 2013?
d. What is the balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012?
Answer:
a. See the attached excel file for the journal entries for 2012 and 2013.
b. We have the following:
Warranty Expense reported for November 2012 = $630
Warranty Expense reported for December 2012 = $1,320
Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 = $1,950
c. Warranty Expense reported for January 2013 = $900
d. Balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012 = $1,050
Explanation:
a. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions and adjustments for 2012 and 2013.
Note: See the attached excel file for the journal entries for 2012 and 2013.
In the attached excel, the following workings are used:
w.1: Cost of Goods Sold = Units sold * Cost per unit = 105 * $20 = $2,100
w.2: Warranty Expense = Sales * 8% = $7,875 * 8% = $630
w.3: Estimated Warranty Liability = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 15 * $20 = $300
w.4: Cost of Goods Sold = Units sold * Cost per unit = 220 * $20 = $4,400
w.5: Estimated Warranty Liability = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 30 * $20 = $600
w.6: Warranty Expense = Sales * 8% = $16,500 * 8% = $1,320
w.7: Cost of Goods Sold = Units sold * Cost per unit = 150 * $20 = $3,000
w.8: Estimated Warranty Liability = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 50 * $20 = $1,000
w.9: Warranty Expense = Sales * 8% = $11,250 * 8% = $900
b. How much warranty expense is reported for November 2012 and for December 2012?
Warranty Expense reported for November 2012 = Sales for November 2012 * 8% = $7,875 * 8% = $630
Warranty Expense reported for December 2012 = Sales for December 2012 * 8% = $16,500 * 8% = $1,320
Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 = Reported Warranty Expense for November 2012 + Reported Warranty Expense for December 2012 = $630 + $1,320 = $1,950
c. How much warranty expense is reported for January 2013?
Warranty Expense reported for January 2013 = Sales for January 2013 * 8% = $11,250 * 8% = $900
d. What is the balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012?
Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 = $1,950
Value of returned 15 razors replaced on Dec. 9, 2012 = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 15 * $20 = $300
Value of returned 30 razors replaced on Dec. 29, 2012 = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 30 * $20 = $600
Total value of returned razors replaced in 2012 = Value of returned 15 razors replaced on Dec. 9, 2012 + Value of returned 30 razors replaced on Dec. 29, 2012 = $300 + $600 = $900
Therefore, we have:
Balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012 = Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 - Total value of returned razors replaced in 2012 = $1,950 - $900 = $1,050

The manager at the Overton Hotel in Lubbock believes that the success of the Texas Tech Red Raider Basketball team has an impact on the occupancy rate at the hotel during the first quarter of every year. Below are the number of victories for the Red Raiders in during the last three seasons and the hotel occupancy rate. This year, (year 4) the Red Raiders Basketball Team is expected to have another phenomenal season and win 31 games and the manager at the Overton has asked you to determine their first quarter occupancy rate for the upcoming year (year 4) using associative forecasting, given that the SLOPE = 0.0474 and the INTERCEPT =0.4743
Year Wins First Quarter Occupancy Rate
1 15 60%
2 28 90%
3 31 93%
a. 93.4%
b. 88.1%
c. 91.7%
d. 36.9%
e. 90.0%
Answer: 99.51%
Explanation:
This is a linear regression problem.
The relationship between the success of the team and the occupancy rate is in the form:
y = mx + c
y = occupancy rate
m = slope
x = number of games
c = slope
Intercept is supposed to be negative in question:
= 0.0474 * 31 + (-0.4743)

Using the appropriate present value table and assuming a 12% annual interest rate, determine the present value on December 31, 2018, of a five-period annual annuity of $5,000 under each of the following situations: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
1. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded annually.
2. The first payment is received on December 31, 2018, and interest is compounded annually.
3. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded quarterly.
Answer:
1. Present value on December 31, 2018 = $18,023.88
2. Present value on December 31, 2018 = $20,186.75
3. Present value on December 31, 2018 = $17,780.59
Explanation:
1. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded annually.
This is an example of ordinary annuity. Therefore, the present value on December 31, 2018 can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = present value on December 31, 2018 = ?
P = Annual annuity = $5,000
r = Annual interest rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
PV = $5,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.12))^5) / 0.12)
PV = $5,000 * 3.60477620234501
PV = $18,023.88
2. The first payment is received on December 31, 2018, and interest is compounded annually.
This is an example of annuity due. Therefore, the present value on December 31, 2018 can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an annuity due as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - [1 / (1+r))^n) / r) * (1+r) .................................. (2)
Where;
Where;
PV = present value on December 31, 2018 = ?
P = Annual annuity = $5,000
r = Annual interest rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
PV = $5,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1+0.12))^5) / 0.12) * (1+0.12)
PV = $5,000 * 3.60477620234501 * 1.12
PV = $5,000 * 4.03734934662641
PV = $20,186.75
3. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded quarterly.
Note: See the calculation of the present value on December 31, 2018 in the attached excel file.
This is also an example of ordinary annuity.
In the attached excel file, the following formula is used:
Discounting factor = 1 / (1 + r)^n .............. (1)
Where;
r = Quarterly interest rate = Annual interest rate / Number of quarters in a year = 12% / 4 = 0.12 / 4 = 0.03
n = number of quarters = number of years * Number of quarters in a year
From the attached excel file, we have:
Present value on December 31, 2018 = Total present value = $17,780.59

Boston reported assets with a book value of $60,000 and fair value of $98,000 and liabilities with a book value and fair value of $23,000 on the date of combination. Lowell also paid $3,000 to a search firm for finder's fees related to the acquisition. What amount will be recorded as goodwill by Lowell Corporation while recording its investment in Boston
Answer:
Lowell Corporation
The amount that will be recorded as goodwill by Lowell Corporation to record its investment in Boston is:
= $5,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Investment in Boston Company = $83,000
Fair value of assets = $98,000
Fair value of liabilities 23,000
Net value of assets = $75,000
Goodwill = $5,000 ($80,000 - $75,000)
b) Acquired Goodwill is the difference between the cost of purchasing Boston Company ($80,000) and the net identifiable assets of Boston Company ($75,000). The net identifiable assets are calculated by subtracting the fair value of the liabilities from the fair value of the assets.

You want to save at least $10,000 for a down payment on a new car. In cell B6, enter a formula to calculate how much you will have saved by putting away $500 per month for 24 months at a 1.5% annual interest rate. Use the appropriate cell references. Remember to use a negative value for the Pmt argument. There is no money in the account yet and payments are applied at the end of every month, so omit both the Pv and Type arguments. (Hint: Use the FV function.)
Answer:
$14,316.76
Explanation:
How much you will have saved?
Using MS Excel to calculate the FV function
= FV(Rate, Nper, Pmt)
= FV(1,5%, 24, 500)
= 14316.7604
= $14,316.76
So, the total amount you will have saved by putting away $500 per month for 24 months at a 1.5% annual interest rate is $14,316.76
