Answer with its Explanation:
Part A. Economic order quantity Computation
Economic order quantity can be calculated by using the following formula:
EOQ = Squaroot of (2* D * S / H)
Here
Ordering cost per order is $425 which is S
Annual Holding cost per unit per year is $4.5 which is H
Annual Demand is 25000 Units
By putting values, we have:
EOQ = (2 * 25000 * $425 / $4.5) ^(1 / 2) = 2173 Hats
Part B.
Total Cost at EOQ = Purchasing Cost + Total Ordering cost + Holding Cost
By putting values, we have:
Total Cost = 25,000 Units * $25 per unit + ($25,000 / 2173 Hats) * $425 + (2173 Hats / 2) * $4.5 = $634,778 Annual Cost
Part C.
For ordering at-least 2000 units per order, the total cost would be:
Total Cost under 2000 order quantity = 25,000 * $25 per unit + (25000/2000) * $425 + (2000/2) * $4.5
Total Cost under 2000 order quantity = $634,813
By ordering at least 2000 hats will bring a loss of $35 ($634,778 - $634,813), hence Master Hatter must only order in EOQ.
Depreciation associated with a project will: Answer A. cause incremental cash flows to increase B. only affect the fixed asset account as depreciation is a sunk cost C. have no effect on incremental cash flows D. cause incremental operating cash flows to decrease
Answer: A. cause incremental cash flows to increase
Explanation:
Incremental Cashflow (ICF) is the added cash that a company gets from embarking on a project which means that this Cashflow must be independent of expenses. If ICF is positive then the company will see it's Cashflow increase if they accept the project because it will contribute to their cash flow.
ICF is calculated from the Net Income of the project but seeing as Depreciation is a non-cash expense that is removed from the Income Statement. In calculating ICF it is added back as ICF deals with actual cash and Depreciation did not cost any actual cash.
More Depreciation therefore means an increase in Incremental Cash flow when it is being calculated from Net Income.
Liability policies, such as personal liability, professional malpractice, or business liability insurance, do NOT protect the insured against a. a personal injury on the insured's property, such as the mail carrier who slips and falls on the owner's sidewalk. b. intentional harm caused by the insured. c. someone injured by the insured away from home or business. d. claims for property damaged by the insured.
Answer:
b. intentional harm caused by the insured.
Explanation:
Liability insurance is a means to provide the insured party with some protection against claims resulting from injuries and damage to people or property, covering both legal costs and any payouts for which the insured party would be responsible if found legally liable.
Note that there are two types of liability coverage: bodily injury and property damage. Most states in the US require liability coverages, subject to limits, which is the maximum amount the insurer will pay when the incident occurs. For example, a car accident can be expensive. This is why there is a limit of compensation which an insurer can offer.

Your parents are giving you $170 a month for 5 years while you are in college. At a 7 percent discount rate, what are these payments worth to you when you first start college
Answer:
PV= $8,586.15
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $170
Number of months= 5*12= 60
Discount rate= 0.07/12= 0.00583
First, we need to calculate the future value, using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {170*[(1.00583 ^60)-1]} / 0.00583
FV= $12,169.53
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 12,169.53/(1.00583^60)
PV= $8,586.15
Rogers Inc. has provided the following data for the month of June. There were no beginning inventories; consequently, the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead applied listed below are all for the current month.
Work in process Finished goods Cost of goods sold Total
Direct materials $2,380 16790 43930 $63,100
Direct labor 1710 16060 42020 $59,790
Manufacturing overhead applied 1520 9880 26600 $38,000
Total $5,610 $42,730 $112,550 $160,890
Manufacturing overhead for the month was underapplied by $1,000. The company allocates any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the overhead applied during the month in those accounts. The work in process inventory at the end of June after allocation of any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is closest to:
a. $5,570
b. $5,575
c. $5,645
d.$5,650
Answer:
d.$5,650
Explanation:

We find the percentage of the manufacturing overhead applied and multiply it with the under applied amount. Then we add the underapplied amount to the total to get the actual amount.
In the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because: a. of government regulations. b. of collusion. c. firms are free to enter and exit the market. d. firms produce a differentiated product.
Answer:
c. firms are free to enter and exit the market.
Explanation:
A monopolistically competitive market is a market in which there are a lot of organizations that sell products that are similar and it tends to be easy to enter and leave the industry. Because it is easy for a company to enter the market and there is a lot of competition, in the long run the economic profit is zero. According to this, the answer is that in the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because firms are free to enter and exit the market.
The other options are not right because a monopolistically competitive market has zero profits because of its low entry barriers and amount of competitors not because of government regulations or an illegal agreement between organizations to control competition. Also, in a monopolistically competitive market the products are similar.
Demand for dishwasher water pumps is 8 per day. The standard deviation of demand is 3 per day, and the order lead time is four days. The service level is 95%. What should the reorder point be?
Answer:
41.9 units
Explanation:
Reorder point can be defined as the level of inventory which help to triggers an action to replace that particular inventory stock in such a way that when the stock level reduced the item must be reordered because it is the minimum unit quantity that a business owner or an organisation should always have in available inventory before they need to reorder more product.
Using this formula
Reorder point= Demand during the lead time + Z for customer service level * standard deviation * Square root of lead time multiplier.
Where,
Demand during the lead time =(8*4)
Z for customer service level =1.65
Standard deviation =3
Square root of lead time multiplier=4
Let plug in the formula
Reorder point=(8*4) + 1.65*3* square root of(4)
= 41.9 units.
Therefore the Reorder point is 41.9 units

For each of the following errors, considered individually, indicate whether the error would cause the adjusted trial balance totals to be unequal. If the error would cause the adjusted trial balance totals to be unequal, indicate whether the debit or credit total is higher and by how much.
a. The adjustment for accrued wages of $5,200 was journalized as a debit to Wages Expense for $5,200 and a credit to Accounts Payable for $5,200.
b. The entry for $1,125 of supplies used during the period was journalized as a debit to Supplies Expense of $1,125 and a credit to Supplies of $1,152.
Answer:
a) The debit and credit side of the unadjusted trial balance would be increased by $ 5200.
b) The debit side would remain unchanged. No effect will be seen in the adjusted trial balance.
Explanation:
Effect of adjustments on adjusted Trial Balance.
This first entry would increase the wages expense and increase the liability account in the adjusted trial balance. Both debit and credit side would be increased by an equal amount.
b) This would decrease the Supplies account and increase the supplies expense in the unadjusted account. As both are on the debit side there would be no effect in the debit total.
Sr No Account Debit Credit
Original Entries
a. Wages Expense 5200
Accounts Payable 5200
b. Supplies Expense 1125
Supplies Account 1125
Correct Entries
a. Wages Expense 5200
Accrued Wages Account Payable 5200
b. Supplies Expense 1125
Supplies Account 1125
Difference:
a) We see that the first entry which was original passed the debit side is correct but the credit side would have been of accrued wages instead of accounts payable . This is to raise the amount by which wages are still outstanding by an amount 5200 at the end of the month.
This would decrease the accounts payable increase the wages payable . If the adjustment is not made it the salaries payable is understated .
b)This adjusting entry is correct.
Which of the following statements is most correct? a. All else equal, if a bond’s yield to maturity increases, its price will fall. b. All else equal, if a bond is down graded by the rating agencies its yield to maturity will increase. c. If a firm has two bond issues that are identical except one is subordinate to the other, the subordinate issue will have a higher yield to maturity than the other issue. d. A B and C are correct. e. None of the above are correct
Answer: d. A B and C are correct.
Explanation:
A bond's price and it's Yield to Maturity (YTM) are inversely related such that when Yield to Maturity rises, the price of the bond falls. This is a because a higher YTM signifies that the bond is riskier so it will compensate by being cheaper.
If a bond is downgraded by Ratings agencies then it means that the bond is now riskier. As it is riskier investors will charge more interest for taking on the risk. The interest is the YTM and so it rises.
A Subordinate bond means that if the company were to go into bankruptcy for instance, the Subordinate bond would only be paid for after the bond that is not Subordinated. This means that there is a chance that Subordinate bond holders will not get anything from the liquidation of the company. Investors will therefore charge a higher YTM to cater for the risk that this happens.
Deborah Lewis, general manager of the Northwest Division of Berkshire Co., has significant authority over pricing decisions as well as programs that involve cost reduction/control. The data that follow relate to upcoming divisional operations:
Average invested capital: $15,000,000
Annual total fixed costs: $3,900,000
Variable cost per unit: $80
Number of units expected to be sold: 120,000
Assume the unit selling price is $132 and that Berkshire has a 16% imputed interest charge.
Top management will promote Deborah to corporate headquarters if her division can generate $200,000 of residual income (RI). If Deborah desires to move to corporate, what adjustment must the division do to the amount of annual total fixed costs?
Answer:
The revised fixed costs = $3,640,000
Explanation:
Calculation of Residual Income:
Residual Income = Net income - (Invested capital * Minimum required rate of return)
Net Income = Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
Net Income = (120,000*132) - (120,000*80) - 3,900,000
Net Income = $2,340,000
Invested capital = $15,000,000
Minimum required rate of return = 16%
Therefore, residual income = $2,340,000 - ($15,000,000 * 16%)
= -$60,000
Hence, adjustment to be made to the amount of fixed costs so that residual income becomes $200,000 = $200,000+$60,000 = $260,000
Therefore, revised fixed costs = $3,900,000 - $260,000 = $3,640,000
A company received a bank statement showing a balance of $78,000. Reconciling items included outstanding checks of $2,400 and a deposit in transit of $9,400. What is the company's adjusted bank balance
Answer:
Adjusted Bank Balance = $85,000
Explanation:
Adjustment of bank balance is a bank reconciliation procedure, that is used to match the amount in the bank statement with the amount in the company's balance sheet.
To adjust the bank balance, particulars that need to be subtracted or added to the bank statement balance has to be identified and treated accordingly.
For this example, the adjusted balance is calculated thus:
Adjusted bank balance = (Bank statement balance) - (outstanding checks) +(deposit in transit)
Adjusted Bank Balance = 78,000 - 2,400 + 9,400 = $85,000
Note:
outstanding checks are subtracted because they are payments to be made made by the company, representing a liability to the company (payer)
deposit in transit is an income to the company that has not been credited yet, but that will be credited.
A government worker surveys a number of households and comes up with the following information: there were a total of 90 people in the households, 10 of the people were children under 16, 10 of the people were retired but still capable of working, 35 people had full-time jobs, 5 had part-time jobs, 5 were stay-at-home parents, 5 were full-time students over the age of 16, 5 were disabled people who could not work, 10 people had no job but were looking for jobs, and there were 5 people who wanted a job but were not looking for a job.
According to the information in the survey, the unemployment rate is:_______
Answer:
27%
Explanation:
Number of Persons in the Household = 90
Neither Employed Nor Unemployed
Children Under 16 =10Disabled = 5Retired =10Stay at Home Parents = 5Full Time Students over the age of 16= 5Total =35
Unemployed
10 people had no job but were looking for jobs5 people who wanted a job but were not looking for a job.Total =15Employed
35 people had full-time jobs5 had part-time jobsTotal =35+5=40
Total Labour Force = Unemployed +Employed = 40+15 =55
Unemployment Rate = (Unemployed People / Total Labor) x 100
=15/55 X 100
=27%
According to the information in the survey, the unemployment rate is: 27%
CMS Corporation's balance sheet as of today is as follows: Long-term debt (bonds, at par) $10,000,000 Preferred stock 2,000,000 Common stock ($10 par) 10,000,000 Retained earnings 4,000,000 Total debt and equity $26,000,000 The bonds have a 4.0% coupon rate, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. They mature exactly 10 years from today. The yield to maturity is 12%, so the bonds now sell below par. What is the current market value of the firm's debt
Answer:
$5,412,000
Explanation:
Given:
Long-term debt (bonds, at par):$10,000,000
Preferred stock :2,000,000
Common stock ($10 par): 10,000,000
Retained earnings: 4,000,000
Total debt and equity :$26,000,000
Coupon rate = 4%(semi annually)
Par value = $1000
YTM = 12%
Required:
Find the current market value of the firm's debt.
Find the bond price:
Bond price [tex] = (C * (\frac{1 - (\frac{1}{(1+i)^n})}{i}) + (\frac{m}{(1+i)^n}) [/tex]
[tex] = (C * (\frac{1 - (\frac{1}{(1+0.06)^2^0})}{0.06}) + (\frac{1000}{(1+0.06)^2^0}) [/tex]
[tex] = 541.20 [/tex]
Bond price = $541.20
Find number of bonds:
Number of bonds [tex] = \frac{10,000,000}{1,000} = 10,000[/tex]
Now, to find the current market value of the firm's debt, use:
Current market value of debt = number of bonds × bond price
= 10,000 × 541.20
= $5,412,000
Current market value of the firm's debt = $5,412,000

In 2010, the BowWow Company purchased 11,752 units from its supplier at a cost of $ 11.73 per unit. BowWow sold 18,971 units of its product in 2010 at a price of $ 24.86 per unit. BowWow began 2010 with $ 864,593 in inventory (inventory is carried at a cost of $ 11.73 per unit). Using this information, compute BowWow's 2010 ending inventory balance (in dollars).
Answer:
Ending inventory balance is $ 779,914.13
Explanation:
The cost of goods sold formula can be used to determine the ending inventory by rearranging the formula and making the ending inventory the subject of the formula:
cost of goods=beginning inventory+inventory purchased-ending inventory
ending inventory=beginning inventory+inventory purchased-costs of goods sold
ending inventory=$864,593+(11,752*$11.73)-(18971*$11.73)=$ 779,914.13

Review the "Types of Distribution Channels" study material. Explain why the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy. Provide an example of a well-known company's distribution channels and defend their choices. In replies to peers, agree or disagree with their assessment and justify your response.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question does not provide a specific text, we can say that the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy because that is how companies deliver their products to consumers. This is of key importance due to the fact that there are numerous competitors selling the same or similar products so the company has to be precise and effective in delivering the product to match the client's expectations.
One good example of a successful company would be Underarmour. This Maryland company sells its products through direct distribution, uses intermediaries and brokers, has open many outlets where the company sells direct to the consumer, and also sells products through e-commerce portals. You can find Underarmour apparel in big chain stores, fashion stores, the internet, and sports stores.

a. $356,256
b. $380,435
c. $341,325
d. $349,856
Answer:
c. $341,325
Explanation:
First determine the Equivalent Units of Production
Materials
Units completed and transferred (12,300 × 100%) = 12,300
Units in Ending Work In Process Inventory ( 2,300 ×60%) = 1,380
Equivalent Units of Production = 13,680
Conversion
Units completed and transferred (12,300 × 100%) = 12,300
Units in Ending Work In Process Inventory ( 2,300 ×25%) = 575
Equivalent Units of Production = 12,875
Next Determine the Total Cost Incurred during the period
Materials
Cost in Units of Opening Work In Process = $7,100
Incurred during the period = $137,224
Total Cost = $144,324
Conversion
Cost in Units of Opening Work In Process = $6,400
Incurred during the period = $215,050
Total Cost = $221,450
Then Determine the Total Cost per Equivalent unit of Production
Cost per Equivalent unit = Total Cost / Total Equivalent Units
Materials = $144,324 / 13,680
= $10.54
Conversion = $221,450 / 12,875
= $17.20
Total = $10.54 + $17.20 = $27.74
Finally calculate total cost transferred from the first processing department to the next processing department
total cost transferred = Units transferred × Total cost per equivalent unit of production.
= 12,300 × $27.74
= $341,202
Conclusion :
The total cost transferred from the first processing department to the next processing department during the month is closest to $341,325
If the government began providing free textbooks to college students who would otherwise have bought their books from the private sector, the government's action would result in:_______
A) a Ricardian dilemma.
B) a direct expenditure offset.
C) an increase in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
D) a reduction of the government deficit.
Answer:
Option (B) is the correct answer to this question.
Explanation:
As the government spends more money, businesses within the private sector typically spend less.
Specific budget offsets refer to the private-sector expenditures through which compensation was generated as a result of expansionary budgetary policy decisions becoming implemented. The private sector activities in investment profits that counter government spending behavior by the state. Some income from federal spending in an environment competing with corporate companies must be offset by any government expenditure.
Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.
g Suppose the banking system has $100,000 in outstanding deposits and actual reserves of $50,000. Using the simple money multiplier formula (i.e., individuals hold no cash), if the required reserve ratio is 40%, the maximum possible amount that the banking system can now add to the money supply is:Group of answer choices$15,000$20,000$25,000$40,000
Answer: $25,000
Explanation:
The Money Multiplier allows us to calculate how much money banks can create in an economic given a certain reserve ratio.
The formula is;
Money Multiplier = 1 /reserve ratio
= 1/ 0.4
= 2.5
The reserve ratio is 40% which means the bank should be holding 40% of deposits as reserves.
= 100,000 * 40%
= $40,000
Yet they are holding $50,000. They are holding $10,000 more than required. Should they release that $10,000 then they will create;
= 10,000 * money Multiplier
= 10,000 * 2.5
= $25,000
ABC Appliance offers a warranty requiring an annual fee. The warranty may be purchased at the time of sale or at any time within the first year after the appliance was purchased. The warranty fee after the date of purchase is twice the time-of-purchase fee. When asked why the fee was higher after the date of purchase, ABC's president said, "Buying a warranty is voluntary. We've noted that those who buy the warranty after the purchase date have a greater need for service." Charging the same rate or a lower rate after the date of purchase would expose ABC to what problem that also impacts private insurers?
Answer: adverse selection
Explanation:
Adverse selection is a situation whereby the sellers possesses information that the buyers do not have. It may also be the other way round whereby the buyers have information which the sellers don't have regarding the quality of a product.
There is information failure between both parties; typically, it's usually the sellers who has more information. Therefore, base on the scenario above, charging same rate or lower rate after the date of the purchase would expose ABC to adverse selection problems.
Steven has a typed copy of a contract, which he would like to have Thomas sign. Thomas, who needs glasses to read typing, doesn't want to sign until he has read the document, but Steven convinces Thomas to sign it anyway, because it is a "standard" contract for this type of situation. Is the contract which Thomas signed binding upon him?
Answer:
Yes, because he was negligent in not ascertaining its contents
Explanation:
Based on the information provided regarding the scenario at hand it can be said that Yes, this contract is binding upon Thomas because he was negligent in not ascertaining its contents. Each individual is responsible for completely reading and fully understanding the contents of the contract before they sign. Once an individual signs the contract it means that they fully agree with all that is specified in the contract and are held liable. Thomas should have waited until he had his glasses and read the contract before signing, regardless of what Steven had to say.
