Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
Most successful firms have a clearly defined, well-written marketing plan that specifies the marketing activities to be performed to implement, manage, and evaluate its marketing strategies.
The typical marketing plan has multiple components which are based on information derived through environmental scanning.
Environmental scanning is a management strategy that focuses on systematically acquiring informations about occasions, trends, events or patterns through surveys and analysis of these information in an organisation's external and internal environment. The informations acquired through environmental scanning is then used by the executive management in strategically planning the organisation's future and exploitation of available opportunities for the success of the organization.
The internal environmental scanning offers an organization strength and weakness while the external environmental scanning provides information about opportunities and threats while the external environmental scanning gives an overview of the opportunities in the market as well as potential threats to an organization.
Revi Corp. provides the following information for the upcoming year: It expects to sell 29,000 pool cues for $13 each. Direct materials costs are $3, direct manufacturing labor is $5, and manufacturing overhead is $0.83 per pool cue. The following inventory levels apply to the upcoming year: Beginning inventory Ending inventory Direct materials 24,000 units 24,000 units Work-in-process inventory 0 units 0 units Finished goods inventory 1,200 units 2,800 units What are the budgeted costs for direct materials, direct manufacturing labor, and manufacturing overhead, respectively
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the production budget and this will be:
Sales = $29000
Add: Closing inventory of finished goods = $2800
Less: Opening inventory of finished goods = $1200
Production budget = $30600
Direct material purchased:
Production = 30600
Add: Closing inventory of direct material = 24000
Less: Opening inventory of direct material = 24000
Direct material purchased = 36000
a. Budgeted costs for direct materials
= Direct material purchased × price per unit
= 30600 × $3
= $91800
b. Direct manufacturing labor
= Production unit × Cost per unit
= 30600 × $5
= $153000
c. Manufacturing overhead
= Production units × Cost per unit
= 30600 × $0.83
= $25398
Pina Football Shop began operations on January 2, 2017. The following stock record card for footballs was taken from the records at the end of the year.
Date Voucher Terms Units Received Unit Invoice Cost Gross Invoice
Amount
1/15 10624 Net 30 67 $28 $1,876
3/15 11437 1/5, net 30 82 23 1,886
6/20 21332 1/10, net 30 107 21 2,247
9/1 227644 1/10, net 30 101 17 1,717
11/24 31269 1/10, net 30 93 16 1,488
Totals 450 $9,214
A physical inventory on December 31, 2017, reveals that 111 footballs were in stock. The bookkeeper informs you that all the discounts were taken. Assume that Pina Football Shop uses the invoice price less discount for recording purchases.
(a) Compute the December 31, 2017, inventory using the FIFO method.
B.) Compute the 2017 cost of goods sold using the LIFO method.
Answer:
A. FIFO $1,794
B. LIFO $6,326
Explanation:
(a) Computation for the December 31, 2017, inventory using the FIFO method
Value of closing Stock
93 Footballs purchased in November = 93 * $16 93 Footballs purchased in November= $1,488
18 Footballs purchased in September= (111-93)* $17
18 Footballs purchased in September= 18* $17
18 Footballs purchased in September= $306
Total Value as on 31 December, 2017 =$1,488+$396
Total Value as on 31 December, 2017=$1,794
Therefore the December 31, 2017, inventory using the FIFO method will be $1,794
B.) Computation for the 2017 cost of goods sold using the LIFO method.
First step is to calculate the Value of closing Stock
67 Footballs purchased in January= 67 * $28
67 Footballs purchased in January = $1,876
44 Footballs purchsed in March= (111-67)* $23
44 Footballs purchsed in March=44*$23
44 Footballs purchsed in March= $1,012
Total Value as on 31 December, 2017=$1,876+$1,012
Total Value as on 31 December, 2017 = $2,888
Now let calculate the Cost of goods sold using this formula
Cost of goods sold
= Gross Invoice amount - Value of closing stock
Let plug in the formula
Cost of goods sold= $9,214 - $2,888
Cost of goods sold= $6,326
Therefore the 2017 cost of goods sold using the LIFO method will be $6,326
David is trying to decide if it makes sense to outsource the purchasing function. He has a chain of 12 restaurants and employs two buyers at an annual fixed cost of $85,000. David estimates that the variable cost of each purchase order placed is $15. An outsourced company will perform the purchasing function for a fixed annual fee of $100,000 plus $5 for each purchase order placed. Last year, David placed 1400 purchase orders.
Required:
a. What was the in-house purchasing cost last year?
b. What would the cost be if outsourced?
c. If David estimates it will place 1600 purchase orders next year, should he outsourced?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a) The In-house purchasing cost last year is
= Fixed costs + Variable costs
=$85,000 + Total number of purchase orders × cost per order
= $85,000 + 1400 × 15
= $106,000
b)
The outsourcing cost is
Outsourcing cost = Fixed costs +Variable costs
= $100,000 + Total number of purchase orders × cost per order
= $100,000 + 1400 × 5
= $107,000
c) Total number of purchase orders = 1600
In-house purchasing cost = 85,000 + 1600 × $15 = $109000
Outsourcing cost = $100,000 + 1600 × $5 = $108000
Yes, David should outsource as the outsourcing cost is less than the in-house purchasing cost.

Lionel is an unmarried law student at State University Law School, a qualified educational institution. This year Lionel borrowed $30,000 from County Bank and paid interest of $1,800. Lionel used the loan proceeds to pay his law school tuition. Calculate the amounts Lionel can deduct for higher education expenses and interest on higher-education loans under the following circumstances:
Answer:
Deductible interest expense of $1440 and deductible education expense of $4000.
Explanation:
There are certain tax laws which allows a tax payer to deduct his expenses from the taxable amount. The tax payer can deduct interest expense from the taxable amount since it is a tax shield. Lionel can deduct an interest expense of $1440 from the taxable amount and he can deduct $4000 for his education from the taxable amount.
Chess Top uses the perpetual inventory system. On May 1st, the beginning inventory consisted of 480 units that cost $65 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: May 3rd, 720 units at $68 each May 20th, 360 units at $70 each. Chess Top also sold 800 units on May 10th , Using the LIFO method, what is the amount of cost of goods sold for themonth
Answer:
the amount of the cost of goods sold is $55,120
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold for the month is shown below:
Since 800 units were sold out of which 360 units would sold at $70 and the remaining units i.e. 440 units would be sold at $68
= 360 units × $70 + 440 units × $68
= $25,200 + $29,920
= $55,120
Hence, the amount of the cost of goods sold is $55,120

Apple Inc. just paid a dividend of $3 per share. You expect that Apple's dividend will increase at the rate of 10% per year for the next 10 years. After that, you expect that Apple Inc. will increase its dividend at the rate of 3% per year forever. The required rate of return for Apple is 20%. What is the price of Apple just after the current dividend was paid?
Answer:
The price of Apple just after the current dividend was paid is $26.79.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached file for the calculation of present values for year 1 to 10 dividends.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Previous year dividend in year 1 = Dividend just paid = $3
Total of dividends from year 1 to year 10 = $19.17617169980840
Year 10 dividend = $7.781227380
Therefore, we have:
Year 11 dividend = Year 10 dividend * (100% + Perpetual dividend growth rate) = $7.781227380 * (100% + 3%) = $8.0146642014
Price at year 10 = Year 11 dividend / (Rate of return - Perpetual dividend growth rate) = $8.0146642014 / (20% - 3%) = $47.1450835376471
PV of price at year 10 = Price at year 10 / (100% + Required return)^Number of years = $47.1450835376471 / (100% + 20%)^10 = $7.61419419713817
Price of Apple = Total of dividends from year 1 to year 8 + PV of price at year 10 = $19.17617169980840 + $7.61419419713817 = $26.79

Scenario: You are in the market for a new car. You do not have a trade-in, but you have saved $3,000 toward a down payment. You currently earn $3,750.00 gross monthly income, of which 28% is withheld for various deductions. You have heard of the 20% rule of thumb, but want to limit your payments to no more than 18% of your net monthly income because of other debt commitments. You currently have a credit score of 685. You expect to drive the car an average 15,000 miles per year.
You're considering purchasing a used-rather than new car. This strategy offers several advantages. Which of the following is not an advantage of purchasing a used car?
A. The reduced down payment required for the purchase
B. A lack of knowledge and confidence in the mechanical condition of the car
C. The price of the automobile
D. Avoidance of the vehicle's significant decrease in value due to depreciation
Answer:
B. A lack of knowledge and confidence in the mechanical condition of the car.
Explanation:
One need to be expert in analyzing a car condition in order to buy a used car. The used car is mechanically weak and the buyer should have good knowledge for the mechanical condition of the car. This is a disadvantage if a person has lack of knowledge in car mechanic when in a situation to buy a used car.
On December 30, 2017, the Board of Directors of Blue Manufacturing, Inc. committed to a plan to discontinue the operations of its Owl division. Blue estimated that Owl's 2018 operating loss would be $750,000 and that the fair value of Owl's facilities was $450,000 less than their carrying amounts. The estimate for the 2018 operating loss turned out to be correct. Owl's 2017 operating loss was $1,000,000, and the division was actually sold for $400,000 less than its carrying amount in 2018. Blue's effective tax rate is 35%. In its 2017 income statement, what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations
Answer:
$942,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations
Using this formula
Loss from discontinued operations=[(Operating loss+Fair value)*Tax rate]
Let plug in the formula
Loss from discontinued operations=[($1,000,000+ $450,000)* (100% - 35% tax rate)]
Loss from discontinued operations=$1,450,0000*65%
Loss from discontinued operations= $942,500
Therefore what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations is $942,500
Testbank Multiple Choice Question 81 At the beginning of 2020, Sunland Company issued 8% bonds with a face value of $5700000. These bonds mature in the five years, and interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds were sold for $5259870 to yield 10%. Sunland uses a calendar-year reporting period. Using the effective-interest method of amortization, what amount of interest expense should be reported for 2020
Answer:
$527,737
Explanation:
The Bond Payment or Coupon always includes the Interest Portion and the the Capital Potion. The question only requires the Interest Portion of the Bond.
The Bond Parameters can be set as :

PMT = ($5,700,000 x 8%) ÷ 2 = $228,000
N = 5 x 2 = 10
YTM = 10 %
P/YR = 2
Constructing an amortization schedule for 2020 gives :
Date Capital Portion Interest Balance
June 30 $34,994 $262,994 $5,294,864
Dec 30 $36,743 $264,743 $5,331,607
Total $71,737 $527,737 $5,331,607
therefore,
The amount of interest expense to be reported for 2020 is $527,737
Dumphy and Funke are rival tattoo artists in the small town of Feline. There are no other tattoo artists in town. It costs $30 to produce a Tweety Bird tattoo. Assume for simplicity that fixed costs are zero and that Dumphy and Funke perform identical work. For a while, there was too much demand for Funke and Dumphy to handle and they both charged $200 for a tattoo. But recently, demand has dropped significantly and there is not enough work for both to fill their days at any price. However, there is some demand at all prices. What type of competition would Funke and Dumphy likely engage in after the decrease in demand
Answer: price competition
Explanation:
The type of competition would Funke and Dumphy likely engage in after the decrease in demand is price competition.
Price competition simply means when the companies in a particular industry lower their prices afsubst the prices of identical products in order to boost demand and sales.
Since there's a reduction in demand, Dumphy and Funke will engage in price competition to boost sales.

c. Prepare the journal entry to record income tax expense
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a. Taxable income for 2021.
Sage Company:
Computation of Taxable income and income tax for 2021
Pretax financial Income = $87000
Permanent differences:
Fine for Pollution = $3200
Interest revenue on municipal bonds = -$1500
Temporary differences:
Less: Excess of depreciation as per tax over books = -$26400
Add: Warranty expense in books higher than as per tax = $4700
Less: Gross profit as per books higher than as per tax on construction contracts = -$18200
Taxable Income = $48800
Income Tax (20%) = $9760
b. Deferred Taxes:
Deferred tax assets = $4700*20% = $940
Deferred tax liability = ($26,400 + $18,200) * 20% = $8920

b. Determine the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance.
c. Determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance, fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a.
In part a, we need to find the following 3 requirements:
1. Direct Materials Price Variance
2. Direct Materials Quantity Variance
3. Total Direct Materials Cost Variance
Direct Materials Price Variance:
It can be calculated by using the following formula:
DMPV = AQ multiplied by (AP minus the SP)
Where,
DMPV = Direct Materials Price Variance
AQ = Actual Quantity
AP = Actual Price
SP = Standard Price
We do have all the data, so just plug in the values into the above equation to get the DMPV.
AQ = 101,000
AP = 6.50 USD
SP = 6.40 USD
So,
DMPV = 101,000 ( 6.50 - 6.40)
DMPV = 10,100 USD
Direct Materials Quantity Variance:
DMQV = SP ( AQ - SQ )
Where,
DMQV = Direct Materials Quantity Variance = ?
SP = Standard Price = 6.40 USD
AQ = Actual Quantity = 101,000
SQ = Standard Quantity = 100,000
Plugging in the values:
DMQV = 6.40 ( 101,000 - 100,000)
DMQV = 6400 USD
Total Direct Materials Cost Variance:
DMCV = SMC - AMC
Where,
DMCV = Direct Materials Cost Variance = ?
SMC = Standard Market Cost = 6.40 USD x 100,000
AMC = Actual market Cost = 6.50 USD x 101,000
DMCV = (6.40 USD x 100,000) - (6.50 USD x 101,000)
DMCV = 640,000 - 656,500
DMCV = 16,500 USD
b.
For part b, we need following particulars:
1. Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV)
2. Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV)
3. Direct Labor Cost Variance (DLCV)
Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV) :
DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH
Where,
ADLR = Actual Direct Labor Rate = 15.40 USD
SDLR = Standard Direct Labor Rate = 15.75 USD
ADLH = Actual Direct Labor Hour = 2000
So,
DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH
DLRV = (15.40 USD - 15.75 USD ) x 2000
DLRV = 700 USD
Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV):
DLTV = ( ADLH - SDLH ) x SDLR
SDLH = Standard Direct Labor Hour = 2080
DLTV = ( 2000 - 2080 ) x 15.75 USD
DLTV = 1260 USD
Direct Labor Cost Variance (DLCV)
DLCV = SDLC - ADLC
SDLC = Standard Direct Labor Cost
ADLC = Actual Direct Labor Cost
DLCV = (1540 x 2000) - (15.75 x 2080)
DLCV = 1960 USD
c.
For Part c, we need following:
1. variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV)
2. fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV)
3. Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV)
variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV):
VFOCV = AFO - B
Where,
AFO = Actual Factory Overhead = 8200
B = Budgeted Allowance Based on Standard Hours Allowed = 4160x0.5x4
B = 8320 USD
VFOCV = 8200 - 8320
VFOCV = 120 USD
fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV) :
FFOVV = (S - BH ) x SOR
Where,
S = Standard Hours for actual output = 4160 x 0.5
BH = Budgeted Hours = 2080
SOR = Standard Overhead Rate = 6 USD
FFOVV = (4160 x 0.5 - 2080) x 6
FFOVV = 0 USD
Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV):
TFOCV = AFO - SO
Where,
AFO = Actual Factory Overhead = 20,200
SO = Standard Overhead = 2080 x 10

Economic costs of unemployment
Consider a hypothetical economy in which potential output is $200 billion and the natural rate of unemployment is 4%. The current unemployment rate is 5.6%. Since the unemployment rate is greater than the natural rate of unemployment, the economy's actual GDP will be______ potential GDP.
According to Okun's law, the economy's GDP gap is billion. The burden of an increase in the economy-wide unemployment rate can differ widely across regions and across different groups of people. For example, in the United States, the jobless rate among workers with only a high school diploma has tended to be________ than the jobless rate among college graduates.
Answer: less than; higher
Explanation:
Since the unemployment rate is greater than the natural rate of unemployment, the economy's actual GDP will be less than potential GDP.
...the jobless rate among workers with only a high school diploma has tended to be higher than the jobless rate among college graduates.
When the economy is at its natural rate of unemployment, it means that the economy is producing at potential GDP. If however, the unemployment rate is more than this natural rate, it means that the economy is facing a downturn which is causing companies to not employ as much labor. Actual GDP is therefore lower than Potential GDP.
Workers with more specialized skills will usually feel the impact of an increase in unemployment less those with more general skills will. For this reason, college graduates will see less unemployment than those with only a high school diploma.
Farris Corporation, which has only one product, has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $108 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 8,900 Units sold 8,500 Units in ending inventory 400 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 17 Direct labor $ 59 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 5 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 9 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $133,500 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 8,700 What is the net operating income for the month under absorption costing
Answer:
Net operating profit= 441,800
Explanation:
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.
First, we need to calculate the unitary production cost:
Unitary production cost= 17 + 9 + 5 + (133,500/8,900)
unitary production cost= $46
Now, the income statement:
Sales= 8,500*108= 918,000
COGS= (391,000)
Gross profit= 527,000
Total selling and administrative expense= (8,700 + 9*8,500)= (85,200)
Net operating profit= 441,800

Explanation:
Tonya, who lives in California, inherited a $100,000 State of California bond in 2020. Her marginal Federal tax rate is 35%, and her marginal state tax rate is 5%. The California bond pays 3.3% interest, which is not subject to California income tax. She can purchase a corporate bond of comparable risk that will yield 5.2% or a U.S. government bond that pays 4.6% interest. What is the after-tax income from each bond
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The after-tax income from each bond is given below:
• California bond
This will be calculated as the inherited amount of California bond multiplied by the interest rate
= $100,000 × 3.30%
= $100,000 × 0.033
After tax interest revenue = $3300
Note that there are no deduction for Federal income, and California tax here.
• Corporate bond.
Inherited amount of corporate bond = $100,000
Multiply: Interest rate = 5.20%
Before tax interest revenue = ($100,000 × 5.20%) = $5,200
Less: Federal income tax = ($5,200 × 35%) = ($1,820)
Less: California tax = $5,200 × 5% = $260
Less: Federal tax benefit = ($260 × 35%) = $91
After tax interest revenue = $3,211
• U.S Government bond
Inherited amount of U.S. government bond = $100,000
Multiply: Interest rate = 4.60%
Before tax interest revenue = $4,600
Less: Federal income tax = $4,600 × 35% = $1,610
Less: California tax = $0
Less: Federal tax benefit on the state income tax paid = $0
After tax interest revenue = $4600 - $1610 = $2,990
Harry was on the phone negotiating the terms of a contract for the purchase of ball caps containing his university's logo with All Logos, LLC. They had agreed on the quantity (1200) and price ($2/cap), but could not agree on the delivery date, so Harry hung up. A few days later, Harry received an invoice in the mail, billing him for the caps, and advising that they would be shipped in 30 days' time. Under the UCC, has a contract been formed?
Answer: d. No, a contract has not been formed, since Harry has not signed a contract for the goods.
Explanation:
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) utilizes the Statute of Frauds which states that contracts for goods worth over $500 in value are to be signed for them to be valid.
The goods here are worth:
= 1,200 * 2
= $2,400
This contract is well worth over the $500 required for the contract to be signed which means that as Harry did not sign the contract, there is no contract.
