Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $17.06 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Activity Cost Pools Activity Total
Labor-related DLHs $32,414 1,900
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 32,414/1,900
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $17.06 per direct labor hour
Benge Automotive issued a corporate bond with a face value of $1,000, with a 10% annual coupon rate paid semiannually. The bond matures in 12 years and sells at a price of $1,080. What is the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation
Answer:
The answer is 8.90%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The bond face value =$1000
Annual coupon rate =10%
Maturity rate =12 years
Price sold at =1080
Now we find the component cost of debt for use
Thus
The debt (cost) = Yield to maturity
So
YTM = Annual interest payment + [(Face value - Present price / Years to maturity] / [0.6(Price of bond) + 0.4 (principal payment)]
= $100 + [($1000 - $1080) / 12] / [0.6 * $1080 + 0.4 * $1000]
= $100 - 6.67 / $1048
= $93.33 / $1048
= 0.0890 or 8.90%
Therefore the debt for use is 8.90%
Suppose the demand for macaroni is inelastic, the supply of macaroni is elastic, the demand for cigarettes is inelastic, and the supply of cigarettes is elastic. If a tax were levied on the sellers of both of these commodities, we would expect that the burden of
Answer:
both taxes would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers
Explanation:
Here are the options:
a. both taxes would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers. b. the macaroni tax would fall more heavily on the sellers than on the buyers, and the burden of the cigarette tax would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers c. the macaroni tax would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers, and the burden of the cigarette tax would fall more heavily on the sellers than on the buyers O d. both taxes would fall more heavily on the sellers than on the buyers.
Tax is a compulsory sum levied on goods and services. Taxes increases the price of goods and services
Supply is elastic if a small change in price leads to a greater change in the quantity supplied.
Demand is inelastic if there's little or no change in demand when price is increased.
More burden of tax should fall on the consumers because their demand is inelastic. So, if prices rise as a result of the tax, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded.
But in the case of suppliers, they are sensitive to price and a rise in price would cause quantity supplied to fall and revenue would fall.

The receiving department has three activities: unloading, counting goods, and inspecting. Unloading uses a forklift that is leased for $15,000 per year. The forklift is used only for unloading. The fuel for the forklift is $3,600 per year. Other operating costs (maintenance) for the forklift total $1,500 per year. Inspection uses some special testing equipment that has depreciation of $1,200 per year and an operating cost of $750. Receiving has three employees who have an average salary of $50,000 per year. The work distribution matrix for the receiving personnel is as follows:
Activity Percentage of Time on Each Activity
Unloading 40%
Counting 25
Inspecting 35
No other resources are used for these activities.
Required:
Calculate the cost of each activity.
Unloading $
Counting $
Inspecting $
Answer:
Calculating the cost of each activity,
Unloading = $ 80,100
Counting = $ 37,500
Inspecting = $54,450
Explanation:
Given:
Unloading lease = $15,000 per year
Fuel for the forklift = $3,600 per year
Maintenance for the forklift = $1,500 per year
Inspection uses some special testing equipment that has depreciation of $1,200 per year
Operating cost = $750.
Receiving employees average salary = $50,000 per year
Salaries; 3 × 50,000 = 150,000
Unloading salary = 40% × 150,000 = 60,000
Counting salary = 25% × 150,000 = 37,500
Inspecting salary = 35% × 150,000 = 52,500
Unloading Counting Inspection
Equipment 15,000 1,200
Fuel 3,600

Suppose that policymakers are doing cost-benefit analysis on a proposal to add traffic barriers to divide the flow of traffic in an effort to increase safety on a given highway. Which of the following statements is correct?
A. Because human life is priceless, any measure to increase traffic safety would generate benefits that outweigh the costs.
B. Estimating the value of a human life is difficult but necessary in order to evaluate the proposal.
C. The benefits are usually easier to measure than the costs.
D. Both a and b are correct.
Answer:
B. Estimating the value of a human life is difficult but necessary in order to evaluate the proposal.
Explanation:
Cost benefit analysis is a method used to guage the cost involved in an undertaking or process compared to the benefit.
If the coat is higher than the benefit the activity is discarded.
However if the benefit is greater than the cost it is a good activity to adopt.
In this scenario there is a proposal to add traffic barriers to divide the flow of traffic in an effort to increase safety on a given highway.
We will weigh the cost of setting up traffick barriers and the estimated value of human life.
If cost is more than the value of human life then the project is abandoned. But if value of human life is higher than the cost the project can proceed.
Although it is hard to estimate value of human life, we need to make an estimate in order to use the cost benefit analysis

If the government sets a price ceiling of $4, market forces will cause:
a. the quantity demanded to drop and the quantity supplied to rise.
b. a shortage will exist. a surplus will exist.
c. market forces will cause demand to drop and supply to rise.
d. market forces will cause supply to drop and demand to rise.
The table for the question is in the attachment.
Answer:
b. a shortage will exist.
Explanation:
Considering the table from the diagram, it shows that, when the price of Refrigerator Magnet is at 4 dollars, the Quantity demanded is 9, while the Quantity supplied is 4. This equates that, there is shortage of 5 in quantity supplied.
In other words, at the price of 4 dollars, the Quantity demanded is greatee than the Quantity supplied by 5.
Hence, the correct answer is B. A shortage will exist.
On January 1, Year 1, a company issues $320,000 of 8% bonds, due in 15 years, with interest payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31 each year. Assuming the market interest rate on the issue date is 7%, the bonds will issue at $349,428.
Required:
Record the bond issue on January 1, Year 1, and the first two semiannual interest payments on June 30, Year 1, and December 31, Year 1.
Answer with its Explanation:
At the issuance date, the bond the double entry would be as under:
Dr Cash $349,428
Cr Bonds payable $320,000
Cr Premium on Bonds payable $29,428
At June 30,2021, semi annual interest payment date, the double entry would be:
Dr Interest expense $12,230 ($349,428 * 7% * 6/12)
Dr Premium on Bonds payable $570
Cr Cash $12,800 (320,000 * 8% * 6/12)
Now at the end of the first six months, the carrying value of the bond would decrease by $570 ($349,428*8% * 6/12 - $320,000*7% * 6/12) to $348,858.
Now at December 31,2021, the next semi annual interest payment date, the double entry on this date would be:
Dr Interest expense $12,210 ($348,858 * 7% * 6/12)
Dr Premium on Bonds payable $590
Cr Cash $12,800 ($320,000 * 8% * 6/12)
Now at the end of the first six months, the carrying value of the bond would decrease by $590 ($348,858*8% * 6/12 - $320,000*7% * 6/12) to $348,268.

Comfy Fit Company manufactures two types of university sweatshirts, the Swoop and the Rufus, with unit contribution margins of $5 and $15, respectively. Regardless of type, each sweatshirt must be fed through a stitching machine to affix the appropriate university logo. The firm leases seven machines that each provides 1,000 hours of machine time per year. Each Swoop sweatshirt requires 6 minutes of machine time, and each Rufus sweatshirt requires 20 minutes of machine time. Assume that a maximum of 40,000 units of each sweatshirt can be sold. Required: 1. What is the contribution margin per hour of machine time for each type of sweatshirt
Answer:
Comfy Fit Company
Contribution margin per hour of machine time:
Contribution margin for 1 hour of machine time will be equal to:
Swoop = $5 x 60/6 = $50 per hour
Rufus = $15 x 60/6 = $150 per hour
Explanation:
If Contribution margin:
Swoop = $5 for 6 minutes' machine time
Rufus = $15 for 6 minutes' machine time
Therefore, contribution margin per hour will be
Contribution x 60/6.
Since 60 minutes make an hour, there will be ten times more contribution for each.
This gives an hourly contribution of $50 ($5 x 10) and $150 ($15 x 10).
A university found that 18% of its students withdraw without completing the introductory statistics course. Assume that 20 students registered for the course. If required, round your answer to four decimal places.
(a) Compute the probability that 2 or fewer will withdraw.
(b) Compute the probability that exactly 4 will withdraw.
(c) Compute the probability that more than 3 will withdraw.
(d) Compute the expected number of withdrawals.
Answer:
(a)0.2748 (b) 0.2125 (c) 0.4974 (d) 3.6
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
By applying binomial probability formula we have the following:
P(X = x) = (ₙ Cₓ) * p^x * (1 - p)^n - x
Thus
(a) P(X ≤ 2)
= P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)
= (20 C₀) * 0.18^0 * (0.82)^20 + (20 C₁) * 0.18\^1 * (0.82)^19 + (20 C₂) * 0.18^2 * (0.82)^18
Probability = 0.2748
(b) P(X = 4) = 0.2125
(c) P(X > 3) = 0.4974
(d)The expected number of withdrawals = n * p = 20 * 0.18
= 3.6

Johnson Company calculates its allowance for uncollectible accounts as 10% of its ending balance in gross accounts receivable. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $28,000 at the beginning of 2021. No previously written-off accounts receivable were reinstated during 2021. At 12/31/2021, gross accounts receivable totaled $466,700, and prior to recording the adjusting entry to recognize bad debts expense for 2021, the allowance for uncollectible accounts had a debit balance of 51,300. Required: 1. What was the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020? 2. What journal entry should Johnson record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021? 3. Assume Johnson made no other adjustment of the allowance for uncollectible accounts during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021. 4. If Johnson instead used the direct write-off method, what wou
Answer:
1. What was the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020?
= allowance for doubtful accounts 2020 / 10% = $28,000 / 10% = $280,000
2. What journal entry should Johnson record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021?
Dr Bad debt expense (= 46,670 + 51,300) 97,970
Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 97,970
3. Assume Johnson made no other adjustment of the allowance for uncollectible accounts during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021.
= credit balance allowance for doubtful accounts January 1 + debit balance allowance for doubtful accounts December 31 = $28,000 + $51,300 = $79,300
4. If Johnson instead used the direct write-off method, what would the bad debt expense be
The bad debt expense would equal $79,300. The allowance for doubtful accounts is used as an estimate of future bad debt expense, while the direct write off method directly writes off bad debt as they occur.
Explanation:
beginning balance of allowance for doubtful accounts $28,000
gross accounts receivable $466,700 x 10% = $46,670 bad debt
before adjustments, the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $51,300
Smiling Elephant, Inc., has an issue of preferred stock outstanding that pays a $5.90 dividend every year, in perpetuity. If this issue currently sells for $80.55 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
The required return is 7.32%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the required return we would have to calculate the following formula:
Required return= annual dividend/current price
According to the given we have the following:
annual dividend=$5.90 dividend
current price =$80.55 per share
Therefore, Required return=$5.90/$80.55
Required return=7.32%
The required return is 7.32%
Paul Inc. forecasts a capital budget of $725,000. The CFO wants to maintain a target capital structure of 45% debt and 55% equity, and it also wants to pay dividends of $500,000. If the company follows the residual dividend policy, how much income must it earn, and what will its dividend payout ratio be?
Answer:
If the company follows the residual dividend policy, the income he must earn is $898,750
The dividend payout ratio will be 55.63%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the income must it earn we would have to make the following calculation:
income must it earn=55% equity+dividends
55% equity=$725,000*0.55
55% equity=$398,750
Therefore, income must it earn=$398,750+$500,000
income must it earn=$898,750
If the company follows the residual dividend policy, the income he must earn is $898,750.
To calculate the dividend payout ratio we would have to calculate the following formula:
dividend payout ratio=dividends paid/income must it earn
dividend payout ratio=$500,000/ $898,750
dividend payout ratio=55.63%
The dividend payout ratio will be 55.63%

The Green Giant has a 6 percent profit margin and a 37 percent dividend payout ratio. The total asset turnover is 1.2 times and the equity multiplier is 1.4 times. What is the sustainable rate of growth
Answer:
0.0678
Explanation:
Given:
Profit margin = 6% = 0.06
Dividend payout ratio = 37% = 0.37
Total asset turnover = 1.2
Equity multiplier = 1.4
Required:
Find the sustainable rate of growth.
First find the return on equity using the formula: Equity Multiplier × Assets turnover × Profit margin
= 1.4 * 1.2 * 0.06
= 0.1008
Return on equity = 0.1008
To find the sustainable growth, we have the following:
[tex]= \frac{0.1008 (1 - 0.37)}{1 - (0.1008 (1 - 0.37))}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{0.063504}{1 - 0.063504} = 0.0678[/tex]
Therefore, sustainable growth = 0.0678
Gilbert Company generated sales revenues of $1,800,000 in 2017. Its cost of goods sold amounted to $990,000. Calculate Gilbert's gross profit percentage. Supporting Materials Cost of goods sold / Group of answer choices 55% 45% 222% 182%
Answer:
45%
Explanation:
The computation of the gross profit percentage is shown below:
As we know that
Gross profit percentage = Gross profit ÷ Sale revenue × 100
where,
Gross profit is
= Sales revenue - the cost of goods sold
= $1,800,000 - $990,000
= $810,000
And, the sales revenue is $1,800,000
So, the gross profit percentage is
= $810,000 ÷ $1,800,000
= 45%
Hence, the gross profit percentage is 45%
On May 10, a company issued for cash 1,100 shares of no-par common stock (with a stated value of $2) at $15, and on May 15, it issued for cash 5,000 shares of $15 par preferred stock at $59. Journalize the entries for May 10 and 15, assuming that the common stock is to be credited with the stated value. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank. May 10 May 15
Answer:n Please see explanation column
Explanation:
To record issue of common stock
Date Account Debit Credit
May 10 Cash $16,500
Common stock $2,220
Additional paid in excess of par common stock $14,430
to record issue of preferred stock
May 15 Cash $295,000
Preferred stock $75,000
Additional paid in excess of par preferred stock $220,000
Calculation.
Cash received = no of shares issued x issue per share
=1100 x $15= $16,500
Common stock = Number of share issue x stated value per share = 1,110 x $2 =$2,220
Additional paid in capital= Number of shares issue x ( issue per share - stated value per share )= 1,110 x ($15-$2)= 1,110 x $13 = $14,430
Cash = no of shares of preferred stock x issue per share
= 5000 x $59= $295,000
par value at preferred stock n = Number of share preferred issue x stated value per share n= 5000 x 15 =$75,000
Additional paid in capital= Number of sharesof preferred stock issue x ( issue per share - stated value per share )= 5,000 x ($59-$15)= 5,000 x $44 = $220,000
After your project team has completed the task to develop potential ideas to increase productivity, as the project team leader, what would be your FIRST step (message-sending process) when presenting your ideas for approval and further guidance.
Answer:
b) Develop Rapport
Explanation:
As the project team leader, the first step in submitting your ideas for approval and additional guidance is to develop a rapport. Through rapport it is possible to establish meaningful connections and bonds with people and create a relationship of trust, which can generate increased focus and mutual attention to what the person wants to share, positivity that increases integration and a friendly relationship between a group, coordination, which increases the level of synchrony and greater understanding of a message, etc.
This is an effective tool to build trust, influence, learning and teaching, which is characterized by significant advantages when the objective is to positively influence people for greater acceptance of their ideas, positions and information sharing.
A 1000 is deposited into Fund X, which earns an annual effective rate of 6%. At the end of each year, the interest earned plus an additional 100 is withdrawn from the fund. At the end of 10th year, the fund is depleted. The annual withdrawals of interest and principal are deposited in Fund Y, which earns an annual effective rate of 9%. Determine the accumulated value of Fund Y at the end of Year 10.
Answer:
The accumulated value of Fund Y at the end of Year 10 is $2,084.67.
Explanation:
Note: Find attached the excel file for the calculation of the accumulated value of Fund Y at the end of Year 10.
The accumulated value of Fund Y at the end of Year 10 is ending balance in year 10 which is in red color.
Also note the following from the attached excel file:
a) The ending balance of Fund X is 0.00 because Fund Y is depleted after Year 10.
b) The beginning balance of Fund Y and its earned interest are equal to 0.00, because no amount of money is deposite in Fund Y until after Year 1 which is the withdrawal from Fund X.
A company manufactures specialty pollution-sensing devices for the offshore oil industry. One particular device has reached maturity, and the company is considering whether to replace it with a newer model. Technologies have not changed dramatically, so the new device would have similar functionality to the existing one, but would be smaller and lighter in weight. The firm's three choices are: (1) keep the old model, (2) design a replacement device with internal resources, (3) and purchase a new design from a firm that is one of its suppliers. The market for these devices will be either "receptive" or "neutral" of the replacement model. The financial estimates are as follows: Keeping the old design will yield a profit of $6 million dollars. Designing the replacement internally will yield $10 million if the market is "receptive," but a $3 million loss if the market is "neutral." Acquiring the new design from the supplier will profit $4 million under "receptive," $1 million under "neutral." The company feels that the market has a 70 percent chance of being "receptive" and a 30 percent chance of being "neutral." Draw the appropriate decision tree. Calculate expected value for all courses of action. What action yields the highest expected value?
Answer:
designing a replacement with internal resources yields the highest expected value = $6,100,000
Explanation:
expected values:
keep the old model
expected profits = $6,000,000
design a replacement with internal resources
receptive market = $10,000,000 x 0.7 = $7,000,000
neutral market = -$3,000,000 x 0.3 = -$900,000
total expected value = $6,100,000
purchase new design
receptive market = $4,000,000 x 0.7 = $2,800,000
neutral market = $1,000,000 x 0.3 = $300,000
total expected value = $3,100,000
there is no room here to draw a proper decision tree, but it would be something like this:
⇒ keep old model ⇒ $6,000,000 in profits
sensing device ⇒ design a replacement ⇒ receptive market
$7,000,000
⇒ neutral market
-$900,000
continuing from above ⇒ expected value
$6,100,000
⇒ outside supplier ⇒ receptive market
$2,800,000
⇒ neutral market
$300,000
continuing from above ⇒ expected value
$3,100,000
g Consider the following two separate events for a company during the year: 1. Gain on sale of investments = $10. 2. Unrealized gain on investment from increase in fair value = $20. The company reports the unrealized gain as a component of other comprehensive income. By how much would these two events increase net income and comprehensive income, ignoring tax effects?
Answer:
B.) Net income = $10; Comprehensive income = $30.
Explanation:
The computation and effect of these two events increase net income and comprehensive income is shown below:
Since there is a gain on sale of investment so it increased the net income
So the net income would be increased by $10
And, there is an Unrealized gain on investment from an increase in fair value of $20
So, the comprehensive income increased by
= $10 + $20
= $30
Hence, the correct option is B
onceptual Connection: For each situation, identify the possible root cause(s) of the activity cost (such as plant layout, process design, and product design). a. A manual insertion process takes 30 minutes and 8 pounds of material to produce a product. Automating the insertion process requires 15 minutes of machine time and 7.5 pounds of material. The cost per labor hour is $12, the cost per machine hour is $8, and the cost per pound of materials is $10. b. With its original design, a gear requires 8 hours of setup time. By redesigning the gear so that the number of different grooves needed is reduced by 50%, the setup time is reduced by 75%. The cost per setup hour is $50. c. A product currently requires 6 moves. By redesigning the manufacturing layout, the number of moves can be reduced from 6 to 0. The cost per move is
Answer:
Explanation:
For each situation, identify the possible root cause or causes of activity cost, among these:
1. Plant Layout
2. Process design
3. Product design
(A) PROCESS DESIGN
The design of the process of production is the root cause of activity cost here. From the rates given, it's clear that the manual method of production costs more time and money than the mechanical production method.
A minor cause of activity cost here is the PRODUCT DESIGN; the cost of which varies with the use of labour and the use of machine.
(B) PRODUCT DESIGN
Change in design of the gear (removal of some component parts) reduces set up time and cost.
(C) PLANT LAYOUT
Redesign of manufacturing plant saves the time and cost of moves.
An increase in ROE would imply an increase in shareholder wealth. Based on your understanding of the uses and limitations of ROE, a rational investor is likely to prefer an investment option that has: A high ROE and high risk A high ROE and low risk
Answer:
The correct answer is the second option: A high ROE and low risk.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of "Return of Equity" or ROE refers to a measure used in the field of business that mainly focus in the relationship between the profits and the equity of the company and therefore that it shows how profitable the company is regarding the amount of its equity. Moreover, this measure focus on the amount of dollars that the company gains regading the amount of equity that the company uses. Therefore that a rational investor is likely to prefer an investment option that has a high ROE and low risk at the time of taking the decision.
Needham Pharmaceuticals has a profit margin of 3% and an equity multiplier of 2.0. Its sales are $110 million and it has total assets of $42 million. What is its Return on Equity (ROE)? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
ROE is 0.1571 or 15.71%
Explanation:
The ROE or return on equity is a measure of a business's profitability in relation to its equity. The Dupont equation breaks down the ROE into three components which are used to calculate the ROE. The formula fro ROE under dupont equation analysis is,
ROE = Net Profit/Sales * Sales/Total Assets * Total Assets/Total Equity
The part of Net Profit/Sales is also known as profit margin. The part of Sales/Total Assets is also known as Assets TurnoverThe part of Total Assets/Total equity is also known as equity multiplierROE = 0.03 * 110/42 * 2
ROE = 0.1571428571 rounded off to 0.1571
