Camptown Togs, Inc., a children’s clothing manufacturer, has always found payroll processing to be costly because it must be done by a clerk so that the number of piece-goods coupons received by each employee can be collected and the types of tasks performed by each employee can be calculated. Not long ago, an industrial engineer designed a system that partially automates the process by means of a scanner that reads the piece-goods coupons. Management is enthusiastic about this system because it utilizes some personal computer systems that were purchased recently. It is expected that this new automated system will save $45,000 per year in labor. The new system will cost about $30,000 to build and test prior to operation. It is expected that operating costs, including income taxes, will be about $5,000 per year. The system will have a five-year useful life. The expected net salvage value of the system is estimated to be $3,000.

Lincoln, Inc., which uses a volume-based cost system, produces cat condos that sell for $140 each. Direct materials cost $22 per unit, and direct labor costs $15 per unit. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 280% of direct labor cost. Nonmanufacturing costs are $34 per unit. What is the gross profit margin for the cat condos
Answer:
43.57 %
Explanation:
The computation of the gross margin for the cat condos is given below:
Total Manufacturing Cost per unit is
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $22 + $15 + ( 280% of $15)
= $79
Now
Gross Profit is
= Selling price per unit - Total Manufacturing Cost per unit
= $140 - $79
= $61
And finally
Gross Profit Margin is
= (Gross Profit ÷ Selling Price ) × 100
= ($61 ÷ $140) × 100
= 43.57 %

Jamie is considering leaving her current job, which pays $75,000 per year, to start a new company that develops applications for smartphones. Based on market research, she can sell about 50,000 units during the first year at a price of $4 per unit. With annual overhead costs and operating expenses amounting to $145,000. Jamie expects a profit margin of 20 percent. This margin is 5 percent larger than that of her largest competitor, Apps. Inc.
a. If Jamie decides to embark on her new venture, What will her accounting cost be during the first year of operation? Her implicit costs? Her opportunity costs?
Accounting costs: $_____
Implicit costs: $_____
Opportunity costs: $_____
b. Suppose that Jamie's estimated selling price is lower than originally projected during the first year. How much revenue would she need in order to earn positive accounting profits? Positive economic profits?
Revenue needed to earn positive accounting profits: $______
Revenue needed to earn positive economic profits:
Answer:
Follows are the solution to the given points:
Explanation:
For point A:
Cost with accounting=The actual manufacturing expenditures or spendings that appear on expensive sports or record of a company= [tex]\$ 145,000[/tex]
[tex]\text{Costs = gross pay} = 50000 \times 4 - 1.2 \times1,45,000 = 26000\\\\{ total \ cost = 120 \% \ of\ 145,000}[/tex]
Cost opportunity=75,000
Total revenue required besides positive accounting benefits=cost of accounting =145000
Income to create positive economic benefits=cost of accounts + implied cost
[tex]= 145000+26000=171000[/tex]
For point B:
Income required to make positive profit in accounts = 145,000 more than the accounting costs
Revenue necessary to earn positive profit = 220,000 more than opportunity cost

A common error made when solving a future value of an annuity problem is: Multiple Choice Using factor tables to help solve the problem. Dividing the annual deposit by the number of years before calculating the problem. Using a financial calculator to help solve the problem. Multiplying the number of years and the interest rate before calculating the problem. Multiplying the annual deposit and the number of years before calculating the problem.
Answer:
Multiplying the annual deposit and the number of years before calculating the problem.
Explanation:
An annuity can be defined as a sequence of payment that is typically made at equal intervals i.e at specific period of time.
Basically, annuity can be calculated using the compound interest formula. It is given by the mathematical expression;
[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
Where;
A is the future value.
P is the principal or starting amount.
r is annual interest rate.
n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year.
t is the number of years for the compound interest.
Additionally, the time period between each payment is called payment period.
The term of an annuity refers to the time from the beginning of the first payment made by an individual to the end of the last payment period.
A common error made when solving a future value of an annuity problem is multiplying the annual deposit and the number of years before calculating the problem.
The Oxford Company uses a job order cost system and applies factory overhead to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. During the month of July, the following activities took place in the work-in-process account:
Beginning $15,000
Direct materials 10,000
Direct labor 30,000
Overhead applied 15,000
 Â
At the end of July, only one job (Job #15), was still in process. This job has been charged with $2,000 of direct materials cost.
Required:
Determine the amount of direct labor cost incurred and overhead applied in the ending inventory of work-in-process on July 31.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The amount of direct labor cost incurred is computed as;
= $30,000/$70,000 × $2,000
= $857
Overhead applied in ending working in the ending inventory of work in process on July 31
= $15,000/$70,000 × $2,000
= $429
By convention, a swap buyer on an interest rate swap agrees to act as the dealer in the swap agreement. hold both principal and interest to contract maturity. periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest. back both sides of the swap agreement. periodically pay a floating rate of interest and receive a fixed rate of interest.
Answer:
periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest.
Explanation:
The interest rate (rate of return) can be defined as the percentage of interest or dividends earned on money that is invested.
In Financial accounting, a return refers to the amount of profit generated by an investor on an investment over a specific period of time.
Basically, the interest rate which is typically expressed as a percentage of the initial costs of an investment can either be a gain or a loss on an investment. Therefore, a positive rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, simply means that an investor is making a profit (gains) while a negative rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, indicates that the investor is running at a loss.
By convention, a swap buyer on an interest rate swap agrees to periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest.
