Janet Gilbert is director of a lab. She has some extra capac- ity and has contracted with some small neighboring hospitals to run some of their lab tests. She has recently had a study conducted and has determined that her costs for these contracts are $50,000, of which $7,000 is the variable cost of supplies. The rest is non- avoidable fixed cost. She currently charges an average of $30 per test. She is thinking of lowering her price by 20 percent in hopes of raising her current volume of 20,000 tests by 25 percent. If she does so, she expects her variable cost per test will go up by 5 percent. Determine the current and predicted (a) revenues, (b) variable costs, and (c) total contribution margin and product margin. What should she be recommended to do

Answers

Answer 1

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.

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.

Answers

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

Answers

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%

Answers

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

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.

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%.

Answers

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

Answers

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

d. What is the balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012?

Answers

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%

Answers

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)

= 99.51%

Options are most probably for a variant of this question.

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.

Answers

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

Miscellaneous         Direct labor hours                     48,000         4,000

Overhead Rates:

Quality control = $60 ($64,800/1,080)

Machine operation = $120 ($132,000/1,100)

Materials handling = $30 ($900/30)

Miscellaneous overhead costs = $12 ($48,000/4,000)

Quantity of order = 1,000 laser printers

Requirements of the order:   Overhead Rate              Total

Number of Inspections 175      $60 (175*$60)          $10,500

Direct Labor Hours 650            $12 (650*$12)             7,800

Total overhead allocated to 1,000 laser printers = $40,050

Unit overhead cost for the printers = $40.05 ($40,050/1,000)

Lowell Corporation paid $80,000 to acquire all of Boston Company's net assets. 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

Answers

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.)

Answers

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
