Consuemr Surplus
It is the difference between the consumer is willing to pay for the commodity and the actual market price.
The consumer surplus can be calculated as follow
Consumer Surplus = 0.50 x ( Maximum Price - Market Price ) x Quantity
Where
Maximum Price = $6.00
Market Price = $3.50
Quantity = 200 million gallons
Placing values in the formula
Consumer Surplus = 0.50 x ( $6.00 - $3.50 ) x 200
Consumer Surplus = $250 million

A loss contingency can be accrued when it is certain that funds are available to settle the disputed amount. the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred. it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability incurred even though the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated. an asset may have been impaired.
Answer: The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred.
Explanation:
A loss contingent is an expense that is based on a future event for instance, if the company loses a law suit and would have to pay settlement costs.
Loss contingents are only permitted to be accrued if the probability that they will happen is likely and even at that, the amount of loss needs to be capable of being reasonably estimated. This way, a proper estimate can be made that will represent the situation adequately.
The Work-in-Process inventory account of a manufacturing firm shows a balance of $3,250 at the end of an accounting period. The job cost sheets of two uncompleted jobs show charges of $510 and $310 for materials, and charges of $410 and $670 for direct labor. From this information, it appears that the company is using a predetermined overhead rate, as a percentage of direct labor costs, of:
Answer:
$1.25
Explanation:
With regards to the above and given that;
Direct material = $510 310
Direct labor = $410 $670
Manufacturing overhead?
Work in process = Direct material + Direct labor + manufacturing overhead
$3,250 = $820 + $1,080 + MOH
$3,250 - $1,900 = MOH
MOH = $1,350
Overhead rate = MOH/Direct labor hour
= $1,350/1080
= $1.25

Dr Cash 114.963
Cr Bonds payable 100,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 14,963
market price:
$100,000 / (1 + 5%)⁴⁰ = $14,205
$6,000 x 19.793 (PVIFA, 5%, 40 periods) = $100,758
market price = $114,963
amortization of bond premium = ($114,963 x 5%) - $6,000 = -$252
amortization of bond premium = ($114,711 x 5%) - $6,000 = -$264
carrying value = $100,000 - $14,447 = $85,553
Crich Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year, the estimated direct labor-hours were 21,800 hours and the total estimated manufacturing overhead was $497,040. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 21,500 hours and the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $492,040. Overhead at the end of the year was: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Underapplied overhead= $1,640
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 497,040 / 21,800
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $22.8 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 22.8*21,500
Allocated MOH= $490,200
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 492,040 - 490,200
Underapplied overhead= $1,640

You have purchased a put option on Pfizer common stock. The option has an exercise price of $53 and Pfizer’s stock currently trades at $55. The option premium is $0.80 per contract. a. What is your net profit on the option if Pfizer’s stock price does not change over the life of the option? b. What is your net profit on the option if Pfizer’s stock price falls to $50 and you exercise the option?
Answer:
A. -0.80
B. 2.20
Explanation:
A. Calculation for your net profit on the option if Pfizer’s stock price does not change over the life of the option
Net profit per share=max(53-55,0)-0.80
Net profit per share=0-0.80
Net profit per share=-0.80
Therefore your net profit on the option if Pfizer’s stock price does not change over the life of the option is -0.80
b. Calculation for your net profit on the option if Pfizer’s stock price falls to $50 and you exercise the option
Net profit per share
=max(53-50,0)-0.80
Net profit per share=3-0.80
Net profit per share=2.20
Therefore your net profit on the option if Pfizer’s stock price falls to $50 and you exercise the option is 2.20

A registered representative at a member firm only deals in stocks and other equity investments. The registered representative helps an associate at that firm negotiate an underwriting of municipal bonds with a municipal issuer official that he knows very well from other business dealings. He does this as a 1-time event and is paid a finder's fee for his help. Which statement is TRUE?
a. the registered representative is considered to be a municipal finance professional and is subject to the political contribution rule.
b. an "mfp" - a municipal finance professional - is an associated person who solicits business from municipal issuers, renders financial advisory services to municipal issuers, or who performs research or writes reports on municipal issues.
c. because the representative was paid a finder's fee for get the municipal underwriting business from the issuer, that registered representative is defined as an mfp and comes under the $250 political contribution limit.
Answer: a. the registered representative is considered to be a municipal finance professional and is subject to the political contribution rule.
Explanation:
Municipal Finance Professionals are people who offer financial services to municipal issuers by soliciting business for them, advising them on financial matters and even performing research for them for which the MFP will be paid.
As the registered representative was paid a fee for helping negotiate an underwriting of municipal bonds, it can be said that he offered financial services to the municipal issuer and so is an MFP. As such, he is under the $250 political contribution limit that an MFP is subject to.
Randolph is a 30 percent partner in the RD Partnership. On January 1, RD distributes $15,000 cash, an investment with a fair value of $20,000 (inside basis of $10,000), and a parcel of land with a fair value of $10,000 (inside basis of $5,000) to Randolph in complete liquidation of his interest. RD has no liabilities at the date of the distribution. Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $48,000. What is Randolph's basis in the distributed investment and land
Answer:
Randolph's basis in the distributed investment and land are as follows:
Investment = $10,000
Land = $23,000
Explanation:
The first step is that Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest of $48,000 is allocated to the distributed assets in an amount equal to the basis RD Partnership.
After this, Randolph will allocate remaining basis to assets which are not cash, hot assets and investment with unrealized appreciation.
Based on the above explanation, Randolph's basis in the distributed are as follows:
Cash = $15,000
Investment = Investment's Inside basis = $10,000
Land = Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest - Cash - Investment = $48,000 - $15,000 - $10,000 = $23,000

Kingston Company, which needs 10,000 units of a certain part to be used in its production cycle, can make or buy the part. If Kingston buys the part from Utica Company, Kingston could not use the released facilities in another manufacturing activity within the coming year. 60% of the fixed overhead applied will continue regardless of which decision option is chosen. The following per-unit cost information to make the part by Kingston is available: Direct materials $ 37 Direct labor 148 Variable overhead 74 Fixed overhead applied 93 $ 352 Cost to buy the part from Utica Company $ 85 In deciding whether to make or buy the part, Kingston's total relevant cost to make the part would be:
Answer: $2,962,000
Explanation:
60% of the fixed overhead cannot be avoided which means that only 40% can be avoided. This is the amount to include in the analysis.
To make 10,000 units, the cost would be:
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable Overhead + Fixed overhead applied
= (10,000 * 37) + ( 10,000 * 148) + (10,000 * 74) + (10,000 * 93 * 40%)
= 370,000 + 1,480,000 + 740,000 + 372,000
= $2,962,000

You and your partner have become very interested in cross-country motorcycle racing and wish to purchase entry-level equipment. You have identified two alternative sets of equipment and gear. Package K has a first cost of $200,000, an operating cost of $6,000 per quarter, and a salvage value of $30,000 after its 2-year life. Package L has a first cost of $280,000 with a lower operating cost of $2,200 per quarter and an estimated $30,000 salvage value after its 4-year life. Which package offers the lower present worth analysis at an interest rate of 20% per year, compounded quarterly
Answer:
Package K offers the lower present worth analysis.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the following 3 steps.
Step 1: Calculations of present worth of Package K
First cost = $200,000
Present value of quarterly operating cost = quarterly operating cost * ((1- (1/(1 + r))^n)/r) ....... (1)
Where;
r = quarterly interest rate = interest rate per year / Number of quarters in a year = 20% / 4 = 5%, or 0.05
n = number of quarters = Number of years * Number of quarters in a year = 2 * 4 = 8
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Present value of quarterly operating cost = $6,000 * ((1- (1/(1 + 0.05))^8)/0.05) = $38,779.28
Present value of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + quarterly interest rate)^Number of quarters = $30,000 / (1 + 0.05)^8 = $20,305.18
Present worth of package K = First cost + Present value of quarterly operating cost - Present value of salvage value = $200,000 + $38,779.28 - $20,305.18 = $218,474.10
Step 2: Calculations of present worth of Package L
First cost = $280,000
Present value of quarterly operating cost = quarterly operating cost * ((1- (1/(1 + r))^n)/r) ....... (1)
Where;
r = quarterly interest rate = interest rate per year / Number of quarters in a year = 20% / 4 = 5%, or 0.05
n = number of quarters = Number of years * Number of quarters in a year = 4 * 4 = 16
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Present value of quarterly operating cost = $2,200 * ((1- (1/(1 + 0.05))^16)/0.05) = $23,843.09
Present value of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + quarterly interest rate)^Number of quarters = $30,000 / (1 + 0.05)^16 = $13,743.35
Present worth of package L = First cost + Present value of quarterly operating cost - Present value of salvage value = $280,000 + $23,843.09 - $13,743.35 = $218,474.10 = $269,900.25
Step 3: Comparison of present worth
Present worth of package K = $218,474.10
Present worth of package L = $269,900.25
Therefore, Package K offers the lower present worth analysis.

Clarisa, an engineering manager, wants to purchase a resort accommodation to rent to skiers. She is considering the purchase of a three-bedroom lodge in upper Montana that will cost $250,000. The property in the area is rapidly appreciating in value because people anxious to get away from urban developments are bidding up the prices. If Clarisa spends an average of $500 per month for utilities and the investment increases at a rate of 2% per month, how long would it be before she could sell the property for $100,000 more than she has in
Answer:
18.5 months approximately
Explanation:
initial investment x (1 + appreciation rate)ⁿ = initial investment + $100,000 + ($500 x n)
$250,000 x (1 + 2%)ⁿ = $350,000 + $500n
1.02ⁿ = $350,000/$250,000 + $500n/$250,000
1.02ⁿ = 1.4 + 0.002n

Album Co. issued 10-year $200,000 debenture bonds on January 2. The bonds pay interest semiannually. Album uses the effective interest method to amortize bond premiums and discounts. The carrying value of the bonds on January 2 was $185,953. A journal entry was recorded for the first interest payment on June 30, debiting interest expense for $13,016 and crediting cash for $12,000. What is the annual stated interest rate for the debenture bonds
Answer: 12%
Explanation:
Stated interest rate is used in the calculation of the annual interest payment.
Interest payment = Face value of bonds * Stated interest rate
Annual Interest payment = Semi annual interest payment * 2

= $24,000
24,000 = 200,000 * Stated interest
Stated interest = 24,000 / 200,000
= 0.12
= 12%
Hyperinflations ultimately are the result of excessive growth rates of the money supply; the underlying motive for the excessive money growth rates is frequently a government's: A. desire to increase prices throughout the economy. B. inability to conduct open-market operations. C. need to generate revenue to pay for spending. D. responsibility to increase nominal interest rates by increasing expected inflation.
Answer:
C. need to generate revenue to pay for spending.
Explanation:
Inflation can be defined as the persistent rise in the price of goods and services in an economy.
Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.
Furthermore, when this persistent rise in the price of goods and services in an economy becomes rapid, excessive, unbearable and out of control over a period of time, it is generally referred to as hyperinflation
Hence, hyperinflations ultimately are the result of excessive growth rates of the money supply; the underlying motive for the excessive money growth rates is frequently a government's need to generate (tax) revenue to pay for spending.
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
Aggies Candle Factory has recently been awarded a new contract with a large retailor in Doylestown. Demand for the candles is 25,0000 which a larger order than the company has ever handled before. They have called a business strategy meeting to ensure success of this project.; the Operations Manager has presented two different manufacturing options for consideration by the board:
Option A is highly automated with fixed costs of $25,000 and variable costs of $.1/candle.
Option B uses hand labor with fixed costs of $10,000 and variable costs of $.5/candle.
Which option should the board select and why?
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
From the question, the demand given is 250,000
For Option A,
Fixed cost = $25000
Variable cost = $0.1 per candle
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
Total cost = $25000 + ($0.1 × 250,000)
= $25,000 + $25,000
= $50,000
For Option B,
Fixed cost = $10000,
Variable cost = $0.5 per candle
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
Total cost = $10000 + ($0.5 × 250,000)
= $10,000 + $125,000
= $135,000
Therefore, the board should select option A as the total cost is cheaper than option B.

Taco Ranch uses a process cost system and the FIFO cost flow assumption. Production begins in the crafting department where materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. On November 1st, the beginning work in process inventory consisted of 10,000 units which were 60% complete and had a cost of $190,000, $100,000 of which were material costs. During November, the following occured:
Materials added $225,000
Conversion costs incurred $45,000
Units completed and transferred out in November $40,000
Units in ending work in process November 30 (20% complete) $25,000
1. What are the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs in the Crafting Department for the month of November?
2. What are the costs assigned to the ending work in process inventory on November 30?
3. What are the costs assigned to units completed and transferred out during November?
Answer:
no puedo tengo fuboll
Explanation:
Taco Ranch uses a process cost system and the FIFO cost flow assumption.
Equivalent Units for Materials:
Units completed and transferred out during November = 40,000 units
Units in ending work in process (20% complete)
= 25,000 units × 20% = 5,000 equivalent units
Total equivalent units for materials = Units completed and transferred out + Units in ending work in process
Total equivalent units for materials
= 40,000 units + 5,000 equivalent units
Total equivalent units for materials = 45,000 equivalent units
Equivalent Units for Conversion Costs:
Since conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process, the equivalent units for conversion costs are the same as the total equivalent units for materials, which is 45,000 equivalent units.
Costs Assigned to Ending Work in Process Inventory on November 30:
To determine the costs assigned to the ending work in process inventory on November 30, we need to calculate the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion costs.
Cost per Equivalent Unit for Materials = Total material costs / Total equivalent units for materials
Cost per Equivalent Unit for Materials = $100,000 / 45,000 equivalent units
Cost per Equivalent Unit for Materials = $2.22 per equivalent unit (rounded to two decimal places)
Cost per Equivalent Unit for Conversion Costs = Total conversion costs / Total equivalent units for conversion costs
Cost per Equivalent Unit for Conversion Costs = $45,000 / 45,000 equivalent units
Cost per Equivalent Unit for Conversion Costs = $1 per equivalent unit
Now, we can calculate the cost assigned to the ending work in process inventory:
Ending Work in Process Inventory Cost = Cost per Equivalent Unit for Materials × Equivalent Units in Ending Work in Process
Ending Work in Process Inventory Cost = $2.22 × 5,000 equivalent units
Ending Work in Process Inventory Cost = $11,100
Costs Assigned to Units Completed and Transferred Out During November:
The costs assigned to units completed and transferred out during November include both material and conversion costs.
Total cost per equivalent unit = Cost per Equivalent Unit for Materials + Cost per Equivalent Unit for Conversion Costs
Total cost per equivalent unit = $2.22 + $1
Total cost per equivalent unit = $3.22
Cost of Units Completed and Transferred Out = Total cost per equivalent unit × Units completed and transferred out during November
Cost of Units Completed and Transferred Out = $3.22 × 40,000 units
Cost of Units Completed and Transferred Out = $128,800
Therefore, the costs assigned to the ending work in process inventory on November 30 is $11,100 and the costs assigned to units completed and transferred out during November is $128,800.

CalMark is a privately held company, so there is no information about beta available. However, a company in the same business with a debt to equity ratio the same as that of CalMark is publicly traded and has a beta which is two times that of the market. If the risk free rate is 4%, and the market risk premium is 5%, what is the estimated cost of existing equity for CalMark
Answer:
r - Calmark = 14%
Explanation:
Based on the comparative company analysis and using the CAPM we can calculate the required rate of return for CalMark. The comparative company analysis means to use the companies similar to the subject company to assume various ratios and factor about the subject company.
The formula to calculate the cost of equity which is also known as the required rate of return (r) is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the market risk premiumThe beta for market is always equal to 1. So a beta twice of the market will be 2.
r - Calmark = 4% + 2 * 5%
r - Calmark = 14%
