Teal Mountain Industries produces a product that requires 2.6 pounds of materials per unit. The allowance for waste and spoilage per unit is 0.3 pounds and 0.1 pounds, respectively. The purchase price is $2 per pound, but a 2% discount is usually taken. Freight costs are $0.10 per pound, and receiving and handling costs are $0.07 per pound. The hourly wage rate is $12.00.00 per hour, but a raise which will average $0.30 will go into effect soon. Payroll taxes are $1.20 per hour, and fringe benefits average $2.40 per hour. Standard production time is 2.5 hour per unit, and the allowance for rest periods and setup is 0.1 hours and 0.2 hours, respectively. The standard direct materials price per pound is:______.
Answer:
$2.127.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Purchase price per pound = $2
Freight (Add) = $0.10
Handling cost (Add) = $0.07
Total cost = $2.17
Discount (Less) = (2% × $2.17) = $0.043
Direct material price = $2.127
Hence, standard direct materials price per pound is $2.127.

Waterway Industries estimates its sales at 240000 units in the first quarter and that sales will increase by 26000 units each quarter over the year. They have, and desire, a 25% ending inventory of finished goods. Each unit sells for $35. 40% of the sales are for cash. 70% of the credit customers pay within the quarter. The remainder is received in the quarter following sale. Cash collections for the third quarter are budgeted at:
a. $5,735,800.
b. $11,574,800.
c. $8,380,400.
d. $10,056,200.
Answer:
d. $10,056,200.
Explanation:
The computation of the cash collection for the third quarter is shown below;
Sales in quarter 1 is 240,000 units
Sales in quarter 2 is 240,000 + 26000 units = 266,000 units
And, the sales in quarter 3 is 266,000 units + 24000 units = 292,000 units
Now
= (292,000 units × $35 × 40%) + (292,000 × $35 × 60% × 70%) + (266,000 units × $35 × 60% × 30%)
= $4,088,000 + $4,292,400 + $1,675,800
= $10,056,200

Kenji and Lucia are building their portfolios. Kenji purchases shares in a mutual fund and pays fees to a manager who actively manages the mutual fund's portfolio. He does so because he believes that the manager can identify inexpensive stocks that will rise in value. Lucia is not convinced. She buys shares in an index fund—a type of mutual fund that simply buys all of the stocks in a given stock index rather than actively managing a portfolio.
Kenji builds his portfolio on the supposition that:________
a. Stock analysts can use fundamental analysis to identify undervalued stocks.
b. Stock prices follow a random walk
c. The stock market exhibits informational efficiency.
Answer:
a. Stock analysts can use fundamental analysis to identify undervalued stocks.
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that he would trust the manager that it could identify the inexpensive stock that would increase the value but on the other side lucia not convinced, so she purchased the shares
So the kenji create his portfolio based on that the stock analyst would applied the fundamental analysis in order to analyze the undervalue of the stock
hence, the option a is correct

There are three equally-sized distinct subpopulations in Utopolis: unemployed, workers, and retirees. There are four possible social states which result in different utility levels for the three subpopulations:
Social State Unemployed Workers Retirees
A 12 50 10
B 20 20 20
C 15 15 15
D 1 40 1
a. Which social states might plausibly be chosen by the government of Utopolis? And Why?
b. There is a government election in Utopolis with two candidates: a Rawlsian and a Utilitarian candidate. Each candidate promises to enact one of the social states above. If the majority of citizens elect the candidate, which social state will be enacted?
Answer:
Utopolis
a. Social states chosen by the government of Utopolis are:
Social State Unemployed Workers Retirees
A 12 50 10
D 1 40 1
The reason for choosing these social states is that the social states of A and D reduce the headache felt by the government in managing unemployment and paying pensions to retirees, unlike the social states of B and C, which have equal numbers of the distinct subpopulations.
b. The enacted social state will be D. This is the social state preferred by the majority of citizens. There is a utopian economic condition achieved with social state D unlike with other social states.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:

The Varone Company makes a single product called a Hom. The company has the capacity to produce 40,000 Homs per year. Per unit costs to produce and sell one Hom at that activity level are: Direct materials $20 Direct labor $10 Variable manufacturing overhead $5 Fixed manufacturing overhead $7 Variable selling expense $8 Fixed selling expense $2 The regular selling price for one Hom is $60. A special order has been received at Varone from the Fairview Company to purchase 8,000 Homs next year at 15% off the regular selling price. If this special order were accepted, the variable selling expense would be reduced by 25%. However, Varone would have to purchase a specialized machine to engrave the Fairview name on each Hom in the special order. This machine would cost $10,800 and it would have no use after the special order was filled. The total fixed costs, both manufacturing and selling, are constant within the relevant range of 30,000 to 40,000 Homs per year. Assume direct labor is a variable cost. If Varone has an opportunity to sell 37,960 Homs next year through regular channels and the special order is accepted for 20% off the regular selling price, the effect on net operating income next year due to accepting this order would be:________
a. $33,320 decrease
b. $35,480 decrease
c. $33,320 increase
d. $35,480 increase
Answer:
$69,200 Increase
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the effect on net operating income next year due to accepting this order would be:
Incremental revenue $408,000
(8,000 units × $51 per unit)
[$60 × (1 − 15%) = $51]
Less incremental costs:
Direct materials $160,000
(8,000 units × $20 per unit)
Direct labor $80,000
(8,000 unit × $10 per unit)
Variable manufacturing overhead $40,000
(8,000 units × $5per unit)
Variable selling expense $48,000
[$8 × (1 − 25%) = $6]
(8,000 units × $6 per unit)
Special machine $10,800
Total incremental cost $338,800
Incremental net operating income$69,200
($408,000-$338,800)
Therefore the effect on net operating income next year due to accepting this order would be:
$69,200 Increase
ECB Co. has 1.25 million shares outstanding selling at $25 per share. It plans to repurchase 97,000 shares at the market price. What will be its market capitalization after the repurchase? What will be its stock price? The market capitalization after the repurchase is million. (Round to three decimal places.)
Answer:
Market cap = 28.825 million
Stock price = $25
Explanation:
Current outstanding shares = 1,250,000
Current price per share = $25
So, ECB current market cap = 1,250,000 × $25 = $31,250,000
Repurchase shares = 97,000
So repurchase value = 97,000 × $25 = $2,425,000
Hence, Market capitalization after repurchase = current market cap - repurchase value
= $31,250,000 - $2,425,000 = 28,825,000 or 28.825 million
Stock price = $25

A 2 kg object traveling at 5 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides head-on with and sticks to a 3 kg object initially at rest. Which of the following correctly identifies the change in total kinetic energy and the resulting speed of the objects after the collision?
Kinetic Energy Speed
(A) Increases 2 m/s
(B) Increases Soold 3.2 m/s
(C) Decreases 2 m/s
(D) Decreases 3.2 m/s
Answer:
Decreases 2 m/s
Explanation:
This is an inelastic collision :
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)v
Where ;
m1 and u1 = mass and initial velocity of object 1
m2 and u2 = mass and initial velocity of object 2
v = final velocity of the objects
m1 = 2kg ; m2 = 3kg ; u1 = 5 m/s ; u2 = 0 ; v =?
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)v
(2*5) + (3*0) = (2 + 3)v
10 + 0 = 5v
10 = 5v
v = 10/5
v = 2m/s
As seen on an income statement:
a. interest is deducted from income and increases the total taxes incurred.
b. depreciation reduces both the pretax income and the net income.
c. depreciation is shown as an expense but does not affect the taxes payable.
d. the tax rate is applied to the earnings before interest and taxes when the firm has both depreciation and interest expenses.
e. interest expense is added to earnings before interest and taxes to get pretax income.
Answer:
b. depreciation reduces both the pretax income and the net income.
Explanation:
A financial statement is a written report that quantitatively describes a firm's financial health. Under the financial statements is a cash-flow statement, which is used to record the cash inflow and cash equivalents leaving a business firm.
Cash flow statement, also known as the statement of cash flows, contains financial information about operating, financial and investing activities.
An income statement comprises of the financial information about the income and expenses of an organization over a specific period of time.
Depreciation can be defined as the reduction of cost of a fixed asset systematically until the value of the asset becomes zero.
The Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) can be defined as a depreciation system that avails business owners or companies the ability and opportunity to recover or recoup the cost basis of physical assets that have experienced deterioration over a specific period of time.
In the United States of America, the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) is used mainly for tax purposes because it gives room for faster depreciation of a physical asset in its first years or initial usage and reduces depreciation as it is being used over a long period of time.
Generally, it can be deduced from an income statement that depreciation reduces both the pretax income and the net income of a business firm or an organization.
Answer:
b. depreciation reduces both the pretax income and the net income.
Explanation:
As seen on an income statement: depreciation reduces both the pretax income and the net income.
Nordstrom, Inc. operates department stores in numerous states. Suppose selected financial statement data (in millions) for 2020 are presented below.
End of Year Beginning of Year
Cash and cash equivalents $750 $81
Accounts receivable (net) 2,060 1,810
Inventory 880 830
Other current assets 570 429
Total current assets $4,260 $3,150
Total current liabilities $2,060 $1,610
For the year, net credit sales were $8,258 million, cost of goods sold was $5,328 million, and net cash provided by operating activities was $1,251 million.
Required:
Compute the current ratio, current cash debt coverage, accounts receivable turnover, average collection period, inventory turnover, and days in inventory at the end of the current year.
Answer:
Nordstrom, Inc.
Current Ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities
= $4,260/ $2,060
= 2.1
Current cash debt coverage = Net Operating Cash/Current liabilities
= $1,251/$2,060
= 0.61
Accounts receivable turnover = Net Sales/Average Receivable
= $8,258/$1,935
= 4.27
Average collection period = 365/4.27
= 85.5 days
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/Average inventory
= $5,328/$855
= 6.2 times
Days in inventory = 365/Inventory turnover
= 58.9 days
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
End of Year Beginning of Year
Cash and cash equivalents $750 $81
Accounts receivable (net) 2,060 1,810
Inventory 880 830
Other current assets 570 429
Total current assets $4,260 $3,150
Total current liabilities $2,060 $1,610
Net credit sales = $8,258 million
Cost of goods sold = $5,328 million
Net operating cash = $1,251 million
Average receivables = $1,935 ($2,060 + $1,810)/2
Average inventory = $855 ($880 + $830)/2

The price of used cars and trucks in US has increased by 21% including a 10% increase in April alone, while the volume of used car transactions is keeping going up to a record high. Which of the following group of economic variables will go up as a result of a booming used car market?
A. CPI but not GDP deflator, PPI and real GDP
B. CPI and GDP deflator, but not real GDP and PPI
C. CPI, GDP deflator and, real GDP, but not PPI
D. CPI, GDP deflator, real GDP and PPI
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The consumer price index measures the changes in price of a basket of good. It is used to measure inflation. Because the price of price of used cars and trucks in US has increased , the CPI would increase
GDP deflator = (nominal GDP / real GDP) x 100
the volume of cars bought have increased, as a result, GDP deflator would increase

(a) Determine the company's break-even point in number of lawns serviced per month o per Break-even point lawns
(b) Determine the company's break even point in dollars.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Advertising $450 per month
Insurance $3,330 per month
Total fixed costs= $3,780
Weed and feed materials $20 per lawn
Direct labor $13 per lawn
Fuel $3 per lawn
Total unitary varaible cost= $36
Selling price per unti= $80
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 3,780 / (80 - 36)
Break-even point in units= 86
Now, in dollars:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 3,780 / (44 / 80)
Break-even point (dollars)= $6,873

b $1,000 % %
c $1,040 % %
Answer:
A. Bond equivalent 10.82%
Effective annual yield to maturity of the bond 11.11%
B. Bond equivalent 10%
Effective annual yield to maturity of the bond 10.25%
C. Bond equivalent 9.49%
Effective annual yield to maturity of the bond 9.73%
Explanation:
A. Calculation to Find the bond equivalent
We would determine the yield to maturity on a semi-annual basis using Financial Calculator which is:
N = 10*2 = 30
PV = -940
PMT = [10%/2]*1000 = 50
FV = 1000
Press CPT, then I/Y, which gives us 5.41%
Bond equivalent yield to maturity=5.41% × 2
Bond equivalent yield to maturity= 10.82%
Calculation to determine the Effective Annual Yield To Maturity of the bond
Effective annual yield to maturity = (1+.0541)^2– 1
Effective annual yield to maturity = (1.0541)^2– 1
Effective annual yield to maturity =1.1111 – 1
Effective annual yield to maturity = 0.1111 *100
Effective annual yield to maturity = 11.11%
Therefore the bond equivalent and effective annual yield to maturity of the bond will be:
Bond equivalent 10.82%
Effective annual yield to maturity of the bond 11.11%
b. Calculation to determine the bond equivalent
Based on the information given the bond is selling at par which therefore means that the yield to maturity on a semi annual basis will be the same as the semi annual coupon 5%.
Bond equivalent yield to maturity =5%*2
Bond equivalent yield to maturity= 10%.
Calculation to determine Effective annual yield to maturity
Effective annual yield to maturity = (1+.05)^2– 1
Effective annual yield to maturity = (1.05)^2– 1
Effective annual yield to maturity=1.1025-1
Effective annual yield to maturity=.1025*100
Effective annual yield to maturity =10.25%
Therefore the bond equivalent and effective annual yield to maturity of the bond will be:
Bond equivalent 10%
Effective annual yield to maturity of the bond 10.25%
c.Calculation to determine the bond equivalent
N = 10*2 = 30
PV = -1,040
PMT = [10%/2]*1000 = 50
FV = 1000
Bond equivalent yield to maturity=9.49%, or 4.75% on a semi-annual basis.
Calculation to determine the Effective Annual Yield To Maturity of the bond
Effective annual yield to maturity = (1+.0475)^2– 1
Effective annual yield to maturity = (1.0475)^2– 1
Effective annual yield to maturity =1.0973– 1
Effective annual yield to maturity = 0.0973*100
Effective annual yield to maturity = 9.73%
Therefore the bond equivalent and effective annual yield to maturity of the bond will be:
Bond equivalent 9.49%
Effective annual yield to maturity of the bond 9.73%

Examples of successfulness of the competition policy in South Africa
Explanation:
By Kgomotso Ramotsho
The Competition Law Committee of the Law Society of the Northern Provinces held its last Annual Gala Breakfast in October 2018 in Johannesburg. The gala breakfast was organised and hosted by ENSafrica. Members of the panel discussed ‘Experiencing twenty years of competition practice’. The Competition Commission Commissioner, Tembinkosi Bonakele, said South Africa (SA) has challenges in the economic front and added that employment growth numbers were not impressive.
Mr Bonakele said this is a challenge and added that there can be talks about what the Competition Commission can contribute, however, there are concerns about the structure of the economy and concentration levels in the economy. He pointed out that another challenge, is with regards to developing competition experts. He said that SA could have done better in developing experts. He pointed out that when looking at who the experts are, the economic front is dominated by European experts, instead of local experts.
Mr Bonakele said it was easy for legal practitioners to make the transition into competition law. However, he added that another challenge is with economists. He said universities should produce a pool of economists that can help in the industry. Full-time member of the Competition Tribunal, Yasmin Carrim, added that the industry was not doing enough and that the pool of economists is small. She pointed out that it was not only up to universities to produce expert economists. She said the industry needed to grab the opportunity and utilise different strategies, such as giving practical training or internships to students, so that when they graduate they would have a sense of the work environment.
Full-time member of the Competition Tribunal, Yasmin Carrim, listed the quality of work done by competition law legal practitioners and economists in South Africa as one of the successes in the industry. She spoke at the last annual gala breakfast held in Johannesburg by the Competition Law Committee of the Law Society of the Northern Provinces.
Ms Carrim, however, said that from her personal experience, one of the successes in the industry has been the quality of work done by both legal practitioners and economists in the country. Mr Bonakele added that SA has made strides in establishing itself as a respected jurisdiction with locally developed practices and sharpened skills in the competition area, he noted that these were good signs. Judge President of the Competition Appeal Court, Dennis Davis, posed a question to Mr Bonakele with regards to work done by experts outside SA.
Mr Bonakele said the Competition Commission has relied on local experts. However, he pointed out that the issue is with the number of local experts. He noted that the country has knowledgeable experts even though they are few in numbers. He added that even though foreign experts are brought in to work in SA, they should team up with local experts as they understand the local conditions, they are open minded and are trained by the best in the world.

Effect of accruals on the financial statements
Milea Inc. experienced the following events in 2016, its first year of operations:
1. Received $20,000 cash from the issue of common stock.
2. Performed services on account for $56,000.
3. Paid the utility expense of $2,500.
4. Collected $48,000 of the accounts receivable.
5. Recorded $10,000 of accrued salaries at the end of the year.
6. Paid a $2,000 cash dividend to the stockholders.
Required:
Record the events in general ledger accounts under an accounting equation.
Answer:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity = $71,500
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for how the events are recorded in general ledger accounts under an accounting equation.
From the attached excel file, we can obtain the following:
Assets = Total assets = $63,500 + $8,000 = $71,500
Liabilities = Total liabilities = $10,000
Stockholders’ Equity = Total Stockholders’ Equity = $20,000 + $41,500 = $61,500
Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity = $10,000 + $61,500 = $71,500
Therefore, the accounting equation holds as follows:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity = $71,500
When inventories go down in value, accountants adjust the value of the inventory that is recorded on the balance sheet. Sometimes inventory goes up in value. Do accountant's ever adjust the value of inventory upwards? What are the general guidelines that accountant's follow in recording inventory value?
Answer:
Accountants do not adjust the value of inventory upwards. The general guidelines in recording inventory value are to recognize the ending inventory value at the lower of cost or market value and to ensure that transactions are recorded in accordance with the conservatism principle of generally accepted accounting principles.
Explanation:
The conservatism principle requires that all probable losses are recognized as soon as they can be reasonably estimated, while gains should be recognized only when they are fully realized. The lower of cost or market value (LCM) method states that inventory should be recorded at the lower of either the historical cost or the market value. The LCM is in line with the conservatism principle.
