On March 1, Bartholomew Company purchased a new stamping machine with a list price of $70,000. The company paid cash for the machine; therefore, it was allowed a 5% discount. Other costs associated with the machine were: transportation costs, $1,300; sales tax paid, $3,120; installation costs, $1,000; routine maintenance during the first month of operation, $1,200. What is the cost of the machine
Answer:
$73,120
Explanation:
Bartholomew company purchased a new stamping machine with a list price of $70,000
They were given a discount of 5%
Other costs that are associated with the machine include
Transportation costs= $1,300
Sales tax= $3,120
Installation costs= $1,000
Routine maintenance during the first month= $1,200
Then, the cost of the machine can be calculated as follows
(70,000-5/100×70,000) + $1,300+$3,120+$1,000+$1,200
$66,500+$1,300+$3,120+$1,000+$1,200
= $73,120
Hence the cost of the machine is $73,120
you want to buy a new ski boat 2 years from now, and you plan to save $7,000 per year, beginning one year from today. you will deposit your savings in an account that pays 6.2% interest. how much will you have just after you make your second deposit, 2 years from now
Answer:
$14,434
Explanation:
The question is asking to find the future value of making a payment of $7,000 every year for two years
The formula for finding future value =
FV = A x annuity factor
Annuity factor = {[(1+r) ^N ] - 1} / r
A = amount = $7,000
R = interest rate = 6.2%
N = 2
[(1.062) ^2 - 1 ] / 0.062 = 2.062
2.062 x $7,000 = $14,434
I hope my answer helps you
Answer: $14429
Explanation:
For this question, we will use the annuity formula to solve. The future value of an annuity is given as:
= C × ([(1+i)^n - 1] / i)
where,
C = The Cash flow per period
= $7000
i = the interest rate
= 6.2%
n = number of years
= 2
Future value of annuity will now be:
= 7000 × ([(1+0.062)²- 1]/0.062)
= 7000 × ([1.062)² - 1]/0.062)
= 7000 × [(1.1278 - 1)/0.062)]
= 7000 × (0.1278/ 0.062)
= 7000 × 2.0613
= $14429
The answer is $14429
Assume that you have a company that assembles final products from a large variety of components that are supplied by factories located in various parts of the world. In the past you have experienced disruptions in the flow of your supply of components as the result of bad weather, such as a strong El Niño phenomenon, as well as other uncontrollable events. You have back-up suppliers, but each have different capacities and delivery schedules. So you created a model that includes sets of assumptions about changes in suppliers and delivery times in the event of unusual disruptive events.

Sensitivity analysis
Explanation:
The excel tool that is fit for this task is a sensitivity analysis
Sensitivity analysis is a financial modelling tool that illustrates how a set of input variables impacts the dependent output variable under a certain specific condition , useful for making predictions concerning a range of variables.
It helps in identifying key variables that are of high influence on a project to facilitate a more precise forecasting , and also to help in ranking projects.
Other key benefits are that it considers the time value of money and cash flow.
Lease A does not contain a bargain purchase option, but the lease term is equal to 90% of the estimated economic life of the leased property. Lease B does not transfer ownership of the property to the lessee by the end of the lease term, but the lease term is equal to 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased property. Based on this information alone, how should the lessee classify these leases
Answer: Lease A Capital lease
Lease B Capital lease
Explanation:
A Capital lease is known as a lease agreement in which the lessor ( someone giving out the property) agrees to transfer the ownership rights to the lessee ( someone acquiring or needing the services of the property). After completion of the agreed lease period.
In a capital lease, the lessor is usually mandated to transfer the ownership rights of the asset to the lessee upon the end of the agreed lease term between both parties.

Variable costs at the low point
Volume at the low point ____
Variable cost per unit
Total variable costs at the low point
Total fixed costs ____
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $240
Fixed costs= $1,910
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
June 9 $5,200
July 18 $6,650
August 12 4,850
September 15 5,750
October 21 6,650
November 24 6,950
December 6 3,350
To calculate the variable and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (6,950 - 3,350) / (21 - 6)
Variable cost per unit= $240
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 6,950 - (240*21)
Fixed costs= $1,910
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 3,350 - (240*6)
Fixed costs= $1,910

Use the 2012 segment information provided by BMW and Volkswagen to an- swer the following questions: a. Which company is more multinational? b. Which company is more internationally diversified? c. In which region(s) of the world did each company experience the greatest growth from 2011–2012? the greatest decline?
Answer with its Explanation:
a). The total revenue of Volkswagen and BMW in the 2012 segment given shows that the revenue is $192,676 and BMW which is $76,848. As the revenue of Volkswagen is more than the BMW hence Volkswagen is more multinational.
b). The regional sales section shows that the Volkswagen is more internationally recognized as per the regional sales which is substantially higher than the regional sales of BMW. So its crystal clear that Volkswagen is the one which more internationally diversified.
c). The 2012 segment information shows that the BMW greatest growth was in China then in USA and then greatest growth was in Rest of the Europe and the greatest decline was in Rest of the America.
For Volkswagen, the greatest growth was in North America then in Asia and then in South America. The greatest decline wasn't seen in the segment information but lowest increase was seen in Germany and then in the European countries.
A truck was purchased 3 years ago for $50,000 and can be sold today for $25,000. The operating costs are $9,000 per year, and it is expected to last 4 more years with a $5,000 salvage value. A new truck, which will perform that same service, can be purchased for $55,000, and it will have a life of 10 years with operating costs of $28,000 per year and a $10,000 salvage value. What is the value that should be used as P for the presently owned vehicle in a replacement study
Answer:
P = $25,000
Explanation:
Cost price of truck = $50,000
Present value = $25,000
Operating costs = $9,000 per year
Salvage value = $4,000
Find remaining amount for old truck:
Amount remaining = $50,000 - $25,000 = $25,000
Total amount, since it has a salvage value of $5,000:
Total = $25,00 + $5,000 = $30,000
For new truck:
Cost price = $55,000
Operating costs = $28,000 per year
Salvage value = $10,000
To find the value that should be used as P for the presently owned vehicle in a replacement study:
P = Cost of new truck - Total amount remaining from old truck
P = $55,000 - $30,000
P = $25,000
Therefore, the value that should be used as P for the presently owned vehicle in a replacement study is $25,000
1.List the three steps of the planning phase of the strategic marketing process. Briefly describe the core elements and the purpose of the three steps. 2.Which demographic cohorts are also known as the Millennial and Z Generations? Describe the interests and lifestyles of each cohort and explain why it is important to marketers. 3.Explain the actions and considerations that relate to the five stages of the consumer purchase decision process.
Answer:
1.List the three steps of the planning phase of the strategic marketing process.
The three sepecifc steps are:
Defining target audience - in this step, a segment of the market is chosen as the target for the good or service. (for example, young people, old people, wealthy people, poor people, etc).Setting measurable goals - in this step, a specific sales volume goal is determined.Developing budget - in this step, a detailed budget is developed in order to carry out the strategy that should help the company reach its marketing goal (previous step).2.Which demographic cohorts are also known as the Millennial and Z Generations?
Millenials: those born between 1981 and 1996. They tend to be progressive, and be interested in social media, internet culture, and technology.
Generation Z: those born between 1996 and and the early 2010s. They are much like millenials but even more so: more progressive, more interested in technology, and in social justice causes.
This information is crucial for marketers because they help complete the first step in the marketing planning process: targeting an audience. The demographic cohorts are in fact, market segments, albeit very broad ones.
3.Explain the actions and considerations that relate to the five stages of the consumer purchase decision process.
Problem or need recognition: in this stage, the customer becomes aware of a need that has not been met.
Information search: the customer looks for a product or service that can meet his needs.
Evaluation of alternatives: the customer chooses among the goods or services that could meet his needs.
Purchase: the customer completes the market transaction: the purchase of the good or service.
Post-purchase behaviour: the customer makes use of the product, or service, and decides whether his need was satisfied or not. ALso decides whether to buy the same good or service in the future or not.
On December 31, the end of the first year of operations, Frankenreiter Inc. manufactured 25,600 units and sold 24,000 units. The following income statement was prepared, based on the variable costing concept: Frankenreiter Inc. Variable Costing Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 20Y1 1 Sales $9,600,000.00 2 Variable cost of goods sold: 3 Variable cost of goods manufactured $5,376,000.00 4 Inventory, December 31 (336,000.00) 5 Total variable cost of goods sold 5,040,000.00 6 Manufacturing margin $4,560,000.00 7 Total variable selling and administrative expenses 1,150,000.00 8 Contribution margin $3,410,000.00 9 Fixed costs: 10 Fixed manufacturing costs $1,664,000.00 11 Fixed selling and administrative expenses 890,000.00 12 Total fixed costs 2,554,000.00 13 Income from operations $856,000.00 Determine the unit cost of goods manufactured, based on (a) the variable costing concept and (b) the absorption costing concept.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 25,600 units
Units sold= 24,000
Variable cost of goods sold= $5,376,000
Fixed manufacturing costs= $1,664,000
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Variable costing method:
Unitary product cost= 5,376,000/25,600= $210
Absorption costing:
Unitary product cost= 210 + (1,664,000/25,600)= $275
Miller, Inc. estimates the cost of its physical inventory at March 31 for use in an interim financial statement. The rate of markup on cost is 25%. The following account balances are available: Inventory, March 1 $220,000 Purchases 172,000 Purchase returns 8,000 Sales during March 300,000 The estimate of the cost of inventory at March 31 would be
Answer:
$144,000
Explanation:
The computation of the estimation of the inventory cost at the ending is shown below:
As we know that
Ending inventory = Opening inventory + net purchase - cost of goods sold
= opening inventory + purchase - purchase return - cost of goods sold
= $220,000 + $172,000 - $8,000 - ($300,000 ÷ 125%)
= $220,000 + $164,000 - $240,000
= $144,000
We simply applied the above formula to determine the ending inventory cost
Suppose you just won the state lottery, and you have a choice between receiving $2,550,000 today or a 20-year annuity of $250,000, with the first payment coming one year from today. What rate of return is built into the annuity
Answer:
7.50%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of return is shown below:-
[tex]Present\ value = Payment\times \frac{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}{i}[/tex]
Where
Number of year = 20
Present value = -$2,550,000
PMT = $250,000
Future value = $0
interest rate = 7.4929%
or
= 7.50%
For more clarification please find the attachment to reach out to the rate of return in which proper formula is to be shown for finding out the rate of return
A corporation has $7,000,000 in income after paying preferred dividends of $500,000. The company has 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The market price of the stock is $56. What is the price-earnings ratio
Answer:
Price earning ratio= 8 times
Explanation:
Price earning ratio = Price per share /Earnings per share
Price per share = 56, EPS =?
Price per share =56, EPS = Total earnings available to ordinary shareholders/Number of shares
7,000,000/1,000,000= $7 per share
Price earning ratio = 56/7= 8 times
Price earning ratio= 8 times
Agent Jennings makes a presentation on Medicare advertised as an educational event. Agent Jennings distributes materials that are solely educational in nature. However, she gives a brief presentation that mentions plan-specific premiums. Is this a prohibited activity at an event that has been advertised as educational?
Answer:
Yes it is
Explanation:
Yes. When an event has been advertised as educational, going ahead to discuss plan-specific premiums is impermissible
The event for which Mary made the presentation is clearly an educational event so she should have concentrated fully on only educational contents that pertains to the event. Giving a presentation that mentions plan-specific premiums no matter how brief is a deviation from the main focus of the event. Therefore it is impermissible for her to do so.

Common fixed expenses 94,690 43,180 51,510
Net operating income $ 44,400 $ 1,540 $ 42,860
First we find the Segment CM ratio by the following formula:
Segment Contribution Margin Ratio= Segment Sales- Segment Variable Expenses/ Sales
Segment Contribution Margin Ratio= 303,000 -63630/303000
Segment Contribution Margin Ratio= 239370/303000=0.79
Then we find the break even sales in dollars.
Break Even Sales in Dollars= Traceable Fixed Expense/ Segment Contribution Margin Ratio
Break Even Sales in Dollars =145,000/0.79= $ 183,544.303
On January 1 of the current year, Barton Corporation issued 11% bonds with a face value of $105,000. The bonds are sold for $99,750. The bonds pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31, and the maturity date is December 31, five years from now. Barton records straight-line amortization of the bond discount. The bond interest expense for the year ended December 31 is a.$13,125 b.$12,600 c.$5,775 d.$525
Answer:
b.$12,600
The bond effective interest expense for the year ended December 31 is $12,600
Explanation:
We need to get the computation of the discount value of the bond using the straight-line method first and Interest Earned
Discount Value= (Face Value - Sales Value) / Years
D.V= $105,000 - $99,750 / 5
D.V= $1,050 Per year
Interest Expenses= Face Value * Bond issued
=$105,000 * 11%
=$11,550
We need to Compute the interest expense of the bond as well
Bond Interest Expenses = Interest Expense + Discount Value
=$11,550 + $1,050
=$12,600
The bond effective interest expense for the year ended December 31 is $12,600

Sumner sold equipment that it uses in its business for $31,800. Sumner bought the equipment a few years ago for $79,100 and has claimed $39,550 of depreciation expense. Assuming that this is Sumner's only disposition during the year, what is the amount and character of Sumner's gain or loss
Answer:
Sumner's has a loss of $-7750 from the sale of the equipment
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
We compute the amount of profit and loss, few steps will be taken which is given below:
Step 1: we compute the book value of the equipment which is shown below:
Book value = purchase price - depreciation claimed
= $79,100 -$39,550
= $39550
Therefore then book value is $39,550
Step 2: we calculate the amount of Sumner's gain or loss which is shown below:
The gain (loss) is = the value (sale) - book value
= $31,800 - 39550
= -7750
Therefore the loss from the sale of the equipment is -$7750
Which implies that Sumner's has a loss of $-7750

For 2018, Rest-Well Bedding uses machine-hours as the only overhead cost-allocation base. The direct cost rate is $6.00 per unit. The selling price of the product is $21.00. The estimated manufacturing overhead costs are $275,000 and estimated 40,000 machine hours. The actual manufacturing overhead costs are $350,000 and actual machine hours are 50,000. Using job costing, the 2018 actual indirect-cost rate is ________.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.875 per machine-hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The estimated manufacturing overhead costs are $275,000 and an estimated 40,000 machine hours.
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 275,000/40,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.875 per machine-hour

Kahn of Portland Oregon sent a letter to Lischner of Los Angeles inquiring whether Kushner’s property in Humboldt County was for sale. Lischner replied that he was interested in selling and asked Kahn about the fair market value. Kahn wrote that it was difficult to make an offer without a legal description of the property and asked for it and the annual taxes. These were provided by Lischner. Subsequently, Kahn wrote, "I hesitate to place a value on someone else’s property, but I can tell you that I have been offered a similar track of property for $2,000. Since your property is closer to mine, I would prefer to buy yours, and offer a four-year term contract at a total price of $2,500." The two parties ultimately agreed on a cash price of $2,500. Shortly after contracting with Kahn, Lischner went to Humboldt county and readily learned, upon the most superficial inquiry that the property was worth more than $2,500. He sold the property to Pacoima Lumber Sales, Inc. for $7,500. Thereupon, Kahn sued Lischner for $5,000. Lischner responded that he had been induced to contract by a fraudulent misrepresentation as to the value of the property by Kahn and therefore could rescind their contract of sale.What are the elements that must be present for fraudulent misrepresentation? Did Kahn commit fraud? Why, or why not.
Answer:
Misrepresentation & Fraud:
a) Elements for Fraudulent Misrepresentation:
1) A representation was in fact made: This means that it was not just a mere opinion expressed by the party misrepresenting.
2) That particular representation was false: The statement made was untrue.
3) The defendant had knowledge that the representation was false: The misrepresentation was intentional on the party of the defendant.
4) The statement was made with the intention that the other party rely on it and enter into a contract or agreement: The defendant was out to induce the other party to enter the contract.
b) Kahn committed a fraud since he intentionally induced Lischner to contract on the basis of fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedy available for Lischner is to rescind the contract.
Explanation:
a) Fraudulent misrepresentation is the presentation of false facts by someone who attempts to persuade another into action with the intent to deceive. The remedy available to the deceived party is to rescind the contract or to plea for damages.
b) According to the britannica.com, "Fraud, in law, is the deliberate misrepresentation of fact for the purpose of depriving someone of a valuable possession."
At Nice Price for the Ice, an ice cream parlor, customers routinely buy a scoop of ice cream for $2.75. If consumers purchase one scoop of ice cream at $2.75, then why don't they keep buying more and more scoops for $2.75 until the store sells out?
Answer:
Consumers would not keep buying ice cream at $2.75 because after purchasing a certain amount of ice cream, utility would be maximised and consumers would not value ice cream at $2.75 anymore. Consumers would not purchase a product it the marginal utility that would be derived from consuming the product is less than the price.
According to the law of diminishing marginal utility, as more units of a product is increased, total utility increases but at a decreasing rate.
Explanation:
Marginal utitiy is the increase in utility that is derived from consuming one more unit of a product.
Consider a business cycle theory that combines the classical âIS-LM model with the assumption that temporary changes in government purchases are the main source of cyclical fluctuations. According to thisâ theory, what happens after a temporary increase in government purchases to each of the followingâ variables?
a. Employment
b. The real wage
c. Average labor productivity
d. Investment
e. The price level
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
The IS-LM model, simply is an acronym which represents "investment-savings" and the "liquidity preference of money supply". The model indicates the interaction between market for economic goods and the loanable funds market which is also called the money market.
The variables are explained below:
a. Employment: A rise in the spending expenditure will result into an increase in the current or future taxes which will have an effect on the workers by making them poorer and therefore making them offer their services to the labor market. This will lead to a rise in labor supply.
b. The real wage: Due to the increase in labor supply, the real wage will reduce because the supply of labor will be more than the demand.
c. Average labor productivity: The marginal productivity of labor or production function is not influenced by fiscal policy changes.
d. Investment: There will be a leftward upward shift of the LM curve. Due to increase in price of goods and services, and the fall in real money supply, the interest rate will rise therefore making investment to reduce.
e. The price level: Demand for output is more than the full employment level of output. This will bring about increase in price.

HR scorecards are used by the human resources department in order to manage individual employee performance as well as making sure all the employees are aligned with the firm's current objective and strategic goals. These scorecards give managers the ability to assign financial and non-financial goals, monitor and assess performances, and even make necessary changes both quickly and effectively.
Suppose the following selected condensed data are taken from a recent balance sheet of Bob Evans Farms (in millions of dollars).
Cash $ 31.9
Accounts receivable 21.0
Inventory 28.1
Other current assets 23.0
Total current assets $104.0
Total current liabilities $200.0
Answer:
The answer is
1. -$96 million
2. 0.52:1
Explanation:
1. Working capital = total current assets - total current liabilities
Current assets:
Cash. $ 31.9 million
Accounts receivable $21.0 million
Inventory $28.1 million
Other current assets. $23.0 milllion
Total current assets $104.0 million
And current liabilities is$200.0 million
Therefore, working capital is:
$104 - $200
= -$96 million
2. Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities
$104 million / 200 miliion
=0.52:1
Horgen Corporation manufactures two products: Product M68B and Product H27T. The company is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products M68B and H27T.
Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Total Cost Total Activity
Machining Machine-hours $299,000 13,000 MHs
Machine setups Number of setups $240,000 400 setups
Product design Number of products $80,000 2 products
Order size Direct labor-hours $290,000 10,000 DLHs
Activity Measure Product Product
Machine-hours M68B H27T
Number of setups 6,000 7,000
Number of products 250 150
Direct labor-hours 4,000 6,000
Using the ABC system, how much total manufacturing overhead cost would be assigned to Product H27T?
a. $291,000
b. $174,000
c. S465,000
d. $454,500
Answer: $465,000
Explanation:
The activity-based costing (ABC) is used to know the total cost of activities that is vital to make a product. In ABC system, for every activity which goes into production, a cost will be assigned.
Based on the figures in the question, the following can be deduced:
Machining:
= 299,000/13,000 × 7,000
= 23 × 7,000
= $161,000
Machine set up:
= 240,000/400 × 150
= 600 × 150
= $90000
Product design:
= 80,000/2
= $40,000
Order size:
= 290,000/10,000 × 6,000
= 29 × 6,000
= $174,000
Total = $161,000 + $90,000 + $40,000 + $174,000
= $465,000
The total manufacturing overhead cost that would be assigned to Product H27T is $465,000.
The total manufacturing overhead cost that would be assigned to Product H27T is $465,000.
Product H27T Machining = $299,000/13,000 × 7,000
Product H27T Machining = $23 × 7,000
Product H27T Machining = $161,000
Product H27T Machine set up = $240,000/400 × 150
Product H27T Machine set up = $600 × 150
Product H27T Machine set up = $90000
Product H27T Product design = $80,000/2
Product H27T Product design = $40,000
Product H27T Order size = $290,000/10,000 × 6,000
Product H27T Order size = $29 × 6,000
Product H27T Order size = $174,000
Total manufacturing overhead cost = $161,000 + $90,000 + $40,000 + $174,000
Total manufacturing overhead cost = $465,000
In conclusion, the total manufacturing overhead cost that would be assigned to Product H27T is $465,000.

6. Achieving lower pollution Suppose a political candidate criticizes a government pollution permit policy that she says lets corporations buy and sell the right to pollute. She argues that our right to breathe and the future of our planet require real regulation instead of this type of government policy. Which of the following describes why most economists would disagree with her statement? A corrective tax would result in a more efficient outcome than either tradable permits or government regulation would. The environment is so important that it should be protected as much as possible, regardless of the cost. A free market in tradable pollution permits is typically more efficient than government regulation. Clean air is a fundamental right, and government regulation will allow too much pollution.
Answer:
A free market in tradable pollution permits is typically more efficient than government regulation.
Explanation:
In this scenario, most economists would disagree with the political candidate's statement because a free market in tradable pollution permits is typically more efficient than government regulation.
Most economists would disagree because a free market in tradable pollution permits, is basically giving manufacturing companies and individuals the legal right to pollution of the environment. For example, XYZ company is purchasing the permit of 500 units of carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution annually, this simply means it is permitted to pollute the environment by 500 units of CO2 annually.
Therefore, her submission is in contrast or conflicts with the concept of real regulations as government regulation may not necessarily be more effective and efficient than the former.
Additionally, a free market in tradable pollution permits has some sort of benefits as companies can resell their unused permits or devise a cheaper means of reducing pollution. It also compensate companies that significantly reduces its pollution of the environment.
