The following scenario applies to the next three questions. At the start of the current period, Alberich Jewelers had an inventory of three identical gold rings. The cost of the gold ring purchased first is $640, the gold ring purchased next had a cost of $720, and the most recent purchase had a cost of $750. During the current period one of the gold rings was sold for $1,400. Alberich expects this gold ring will be a fast seller and he is thinking about ordering more of the same model for $780 each. If Alberich elects the FIFO method of inventory, after selling one ring for $1,400, compute the gross profit he should report. Post your response without any special characters. So an answer of $1,000 would be expressed as 1000
Answer:
Alberich Jewelers
The gross profit that Alberich should report is 760.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of gold ring purchased first = $640
Cost of gold ring purchased next = $720
Cost of gold ring purchased recently = $750
Sale of one gold ring = $1,400
Using the FIFO method of inventory, the gross profit for the gold ring sold is based on the first gold ring purchased, as follows:
= Sales Revenue - FIFO cost of inventory
= $1,400 - $640
= $760
Keystone, Inc., replaced its truck-and-dolley system of moving inventory around its plant with a computer-controlled conveyor system. The costs associated with this equipment replacement were as follows: Purchase price of conveyor system$1,300,000 Book value of truck-and-dolley system50,000 Installation cost of new conveyor system85,000 The truck-and-dolley system was sold for scrap for $70,000. What value should be capitalized to the balance sheet of Keystone, Inc., as the cost basis of the new conveyor system
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The cost basis for the new conveyor system will be:
Purchase price = $1,300,000
Add : Installation cost = $85,000
Therefore, Cost of new conveyor system will be:
= $1,300,000 + $85,000
= $1,385,000
The gain on the sale of old truck will be $70000 - $50000 = $20,000 whcinwill be credited to the income statement.

Tambe Electric entered into a written agreement with Home Depot to provide copper wire to Tambe at a price set forth in the writing, and allowed the contractor the option of paying for the wire over a period of time. Tambe later tried to purchase such wire on a payment plan but Home Depot refused. As Home Depot did not fulfill this written agreement, Tambe sued for $68,000, the additional cost it had to subsequently pay to obtain copper wire for its work. Home Depot defended that it had made an oral condition precedent requiring payment in full by Tambe at the time it accepted the price quote in the written agreement. The result is that:_________
Answer:
Tambe will win.
Explanation:
The Statue of Frauds requires that contracts over $500 are written, and both companies had a written contract. Home Depot later argues that they had orally agreed to modify the written contract. That modification will not hold since it cannot contradict the written contract. In order to legally modify a written contract, you must do it in writing, not orally.
Alvis Construction Supply Company has a department that manufactures wood trusses (wood frames used in the construction industry). The following information is for the production of these trusses for the month of February:
Work-in-process inventory, February 1 4,000 trusses
Direct materials: 100% complete $10,480
Conversion: 20% complete $15,258
Units started during February 18,000 trusses
Units completed during February and transferred out 17,000 trusses
Work-in-process inventory, February 29
Direct materials: 100% complete
Conversion: 40% complete
Costs incurred during February
Direct materials $59,040
Conversion $92,092
Required:
Using the FIFO method, calculate the following:
1. Costs per equivalent unit.
2. Cost of goods completed and transferred out.
3. Cost remaining in the ending work-in-process inventory.
Answer:
Part 1
M = $3.28
C = $5.06
Part 2
$141,780
Part 3
$26,520
Explanation:
1. Costs per equivalent unit.
Step 1 ; Equivalent units
Materials = 4,000 x 0 % + 13,000 x 100 % + 5,000 x 100 % = 18,000 units
Conversion Costs = 4,000 x 80 % + 13,000 x 100 % + 5,000 x 40 % = 18,200 units
Step 2 : Cost per Equivalent units
Materials = $59,040 / 18,000 units = $3.28
Conversion Costs = $92,092 / 18,200 units = $5.06
Total = $3.28 + $5.06 = $8.34
2. Cost of goods completed and transferred out.
Cost of goods completed and transferred out = 17,000 trusses x $8.34 = $141,780
3. Cost remaining in the ending work-in-process inventory.
Ending work-in-process inventory = $3.28 x 5,000 + $5.06 x 2,000 = $26,520
Cost of manufacturing is the total cost incurred by the manufacturing unit or the entire department for the production of goods. It is classified into three main categories: direct material cost, direct labor cost, and manufacturing overhead.
Using the FIFO method, the answers are:

For the material is $3.28
For the conversion is $5.06
2. Cost of goods completed and transferred out is $141,780
3. Cost remaining in the ending work-in-process inventory is $26,520
Computations:
1. Cost per equivalent unit:
Material:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Cost per equivalent unit}&=\frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Equivalent Units}}\\&=\frac{\$59,040}{18,000\;\text{units}}\\&=\$3.28\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Cost per equivalent unit}&=\frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Equivalent Units}}\\&=\frac{\$92,092}{18,200\;\text{units}}\\&=\$5.06\end{aligned}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Total cost per equivalent unit}&=\text{Cost per unit for material}+\text{Cost per unit for conversion}\\&=\$3.28+\$5.06\\&=\$8.34\end{aligned}[/tex]
2. Cost of goods completed and transferred out:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Cost of goods completed}&=\text{Units Completed}\times\text{Total Cost of equivalent units}\\&=17,000\;\text{trusses}\times\$8.34\\&=\$141,780\end{aligned}[/tex]
3. Cost of remaining ending work in process inventory:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Ending Work in Process Inventory}&=[\left( \text{Costs per equivalent unit for material}\times\text{Units}\right )\\&+\left( \text{Costs per equivalent unit for conversion}\times\text{Units}\right )]\\&=\left(\$3.28\times5,000\;\text{units}\right )+\left(\$5.06\times2,000\;\text{units} \right ) \\&=\$26,520\end{aligned}[/tex]

2. A welder and a carpenter decided to get out of the construction industry and build farm trailers instead. From building a few trailers on weekends, they estimated that the first trailer would take about $700 of their own labor to build and that an 85 percent learning rate can be anticipated on the cumulative average time as each trailer is built. (Note: They decided that their hourly wages should be no less than those they received in the construction trades.) The material costs for each trailer will be about $500, and the craftsmen do not see any way that this can be reduced. They estimate that each trailer can be sold for $1,000. In addition to making their wages on labor, they want to make 15 percent profit on the trailer materials. How many trailers must be built before this rate of profit can be realized
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Data Given:
Material Cost Per Trailer = $500
Material Cost plus Profit Per Trailer (15%) = $500 + 75 = $575
Selling Price = $1000
Labor Cost Remaining Per Trailer = $425
Formula to Calculate the number of Trailers:
X = X1 ([tex]N^{S}[/tex])
Where,
N = number of Trailers
S = Slope Parameter
X = $425
X1 = $700
So, First we need to find the slope parameter, in order to calculate the number of trailers to be built.
S = [tex]\frac{log \alpha }{log 2}[/tex]
where, α = 0.85 rate of improvement.
Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:
S = [tex]\frac{log (0.85) }{log 2}[/tex]
S = -0.234
Now, we can easily find the number of trailers.
X = X1 ([tex]N^{S}[/tex])
Plugging in the values,
425 = 700 x ([tex]N^{-0.234}[/tex])
Solving For N, we get:
N = 8.4 Trailers
N = 9 Trailers.
Hence, 9 Trailers must be built in order to realize this rate of profit.

Suppose that Perry and Taimur both produce poems and novels. Perry’s productive capabilities are as follows. He can produce 12 poems if he spends all of his time writing poems or he can write 2 novels if he spends all of his time writing novels. He can also produce any linear combination in between. Taimur’s productive capabilities are as follows. He can produce 12 poems if he spends all of his time writing poems or he can write 4 novels if he spends all of his time writing novels. He can also produce any linear combination in between.
A. Which person can produce poems at lower opportunity cost? Explain. Which person can produce novels at a lower opportunity cost? Explain.
B. Suppose that Perry and Taimur make the following deal. Perry will spend all of his time making poems and Taimur will spend all of his time making novels. Taimur will then send 1 novel to Perry and in return Perry will send Taimur 4 poems. How many poems and novels will Perry have after this trade? How may poems and novels will Taimur have after this trade?
C. I claim that after trading with Taimur, Perry can now consume a combination of poems and novels that he never could have produced for himself. Likewise, Taimur can now consume a combination of poems and novels that he never could have produced for himself after trading with Perry. Use equations and a couple of simple calculations to demonstrate that I am correct.
D. What do you think is going on here? Why can both Perry and Taimur now consume a quantity of goods that they never could have produced for themselves?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a.
Perry poems = 12
Taimur Poems = 12
Perry Novels = 2
Taimur Novels = 4
Opportunity cost of Poems for Perry = 2/12 = 1/6
Opportunity cost of Poems for Taimur = 4/12 = 1/3
Opportunity cost of Novels for Perry = 12/2 = 6
Opportunity cost of Novels for Taimur = 12/4 = 3
As opportunity cost of poems for Perry < Opportunity Cost of Poems for Taimur
So,
Perry can produce poems at lower opportunity cost.
And,
Opportunity cost of Novels for Taimur < Opportunity cost of Novels for Perry
SO,
Taimur can produce novels at lower opportunity cost.
b.
Perry spend all time in making poems = 12 poems
Taimur Spend all time in novel making = 4 novels
Trade ---> Taimur send 1 novel, So, he will left with 3 novels, in exchange he will get 4 poems.
So, after trade, we have:
Perry = 8 novels and 1 Poem
Taimur = 4 poems and 3 novels.
c.
The claim is correct.
This is because, Perry makes 8 poems, he is left with with only 4 novels of productivity and as his opportunity cost of novel is 6, he won't be able to produce even 1 novel, if he doesn't trade.
Let's assume Perry and Taimur both have 12 hours of time each.
Productivity of Perry ---> Poems: 12 hours/12 units = 1 Novels: 12/2 = 6
i.e. Perry need 1 hour to produce 1 poem
and 6 hours to produce 1 novel .
So, when Perry produce 8 poems, he exhaust his 8 hours. Now, he is left with 4 hours. So he cannot produce 1 novel, which require 6 hours to complete. So, after trade, he is better off.
d.
As both Perry and Taimur, produce the good, in which they have comparative advantage it lead to specialization. And when they trade the good, in which they have specialization which will lead them expand this consumption possibilities.

Synovec Corp. is experiencing rapid growth. Dividends are expected to grow at 25 percent per year during the next three years, 15 percent over the following year, and then 6 percent per year, indefinitely. The required return on this stock is 12 percent and the stock currently sells for $94 per share. What is the projected dividend for the coming year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
$26.86
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the projected dividend for the coming year
First step is to calculate the Dividend(D0)=
D0 = $94 * 0.12
Dividend(D0)= $11.28
Second step is to calculate the Expected Dividend growth rate for 3 years (D3) using this formula
Expected Dividend growth rate for 3 years (D3) =D0 (1+g)
Let plug in the formula
D3=$11.28* (1+0.25)^3
D3=$22.03125
Third step is to calculate Dividend in 4th year(D4
Dividend in 4th year(D4)=$22.03125 *1.15
D4 =$25.3359
Now let calculate the Dividend in 5th year(D5
Dividend in 5th year(D5)=$25.3359 * 1.06
Dividend in 5th year(D5)=$26.86
Therefore the Projected Dividend for the coming year will be $26.86

a.
Decrease aggregate demand
b.
Increase aggregate supply
c.
Move back to Keynesian Zone
d.
Move back to intermediate zone
Answer:
c. Move back to Keynesian Zone
Explanation:
The Keynesian zone is a model that states the stable level of GDP is far from potential GDP and that economy is in a period of recession. Unemployment is high and the demands shift from the right to left of the curve. It can be determined by the level of output and employment. The Neoclassical zone will occur when the right side of the curve is fairly vertical, a rise in demand will affect the process but will indirectly impact the output.Posting to T-Accounts Post the amounts for the following transactions (a) through (f) to the appropriate T-accounts.

Manson Industries incurs unit costs of $6 ($4 variable and $2 fixed) in making an assembly part for its finished product. A supplier offers to make 15,000 of the assembly part at $5 per unit. If the offer is accepted, Manson will save all variable costs but no fixed costs. Prepare an analysis showing the total cost saving, if any, Manson will realize by buying the part.
Answer:
The decision should be to make the part
Explanation:
Variable cost of manufacturing = 15000x4 = 60000
Fixed cost of manufacturing = 15000 x 2 = 30000
Purchase cost = 15000x5 = 75000
Total annual cost of making = 60000 + 30000 = $90000
Total annual cost of buying is 30000 + 75000 = $105000
90000 - 105,000 = -15000
This shows that manson's cost savings would decrease by -15000
So instead of buying, it is better to make.

John Joos is the owner and operator of Way to Go LLC, a motivational consulting business. At the end of its accounting period, December 31, 2013, Way to Go has assets of $669,000 and liabilities of $161,000. Using the accounting equation, determine the following amounts:
a. Owner's equity as of December 31, 2013.
b. Owner's equity as of December 31, 2014, assuming that assets decreased by $127,000 and liabilities decreased by $39,000 during 2014.
Answer:
a. $508,000
b. $420,000
Explanation:
a. Assets = Equity + Liabilities
669,000 = Equity + 161,000
Equity = 669,000 - 161,000
Equity = $508,000
b. Assets = Equity + Liabilities
(669,000 - 127,000) = Equity + (161,000 - 39,000)
542,000 = Equity + 122,000
Equity = 542,000 - 122,000
= $420,000
As the question says just provide modalities for compensating the victims of the accident. Do not try to attribute reasons for the cause of the accident, i.e. who is wrong or responsible for the accident. Try to come up with the various kinds of victims and decide what they get. To say that everybody that was killed should get the same amount is not realistic. Think about the families of those involved in September 11 disaster. Did all the families get the same amount?
Answer:
No, all families cannot get the same amount of compensation as this is dependent on the loss of the misfortune family.
Explanation:
The amount of compensation for the victims of September 11 disaster should be different for every person. The number of family members will be different for every victim. The compensation is based on the number of dependents of the victim family and those are paid high compensation who have their widows and children left behind.

Efficient market school is the market school which argues that forward exchange rates do the best possible job for forecasting future spot exchange rates, so investing in exchange rate forecasting services would be a waste of time because it is impossible to have a consistent alpha generation on a risk adjusted excess returns basis as market prices are only affected by new informations.
The efficient market school also known as the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) is a hypothesis that states that asset (share) prices reflect all information and it is very much impossible to consistently beat the market.
Also, forward exchange rates are exchange rates controlling foreign exchange transactions at a specific future date or time.
