Answer:
Please see answers below.
Explanation:
Annual demand rep D=11,800
Setting up cost rep S = $48
Holding cost per year rep H=$0.1
Production rate per year = Production facility × Capability of production
=300 × 95
=28,500
Therefore;
a. Optimal size of the production
Q = √2DS/H(1-D/P)
= √2×11,800×48/0.1(1-11,800/28,500)
=√11328000-0.5859649123
=√11328000.586
=$3,366
b. Average holding cost per year
=QH/2(1-D/P)
=3,366×0.1/2(1-3,366/28,500)
=168.3(0.8818947368)
=$148.42
C. Average set up cost
=D/Q × S
=11,800/3,366 × 48
=$168.27
D. Total cost per year = Average set up cost + Average holding cost per year + Cost to purchase 11,800 lights
= $148.42 + $168.27 + 11,800(0.95)
= $11,526.69
You have been appointed to lead an existing group. Your boss, who informed you of the assignment, made these comments: "These people have some real issues. They have been a problem for years. They stick together like family but never seem to get much work done." Which of these would best describe this group?
Answer:
This is a group that can be defined by its high cohesiviness and low performance norms.
Explanation:
In this case, the new leader must focus on solving this problem that already exists where team members have high cohesion, but who have a low performance with regard to compliance with internal rules and procedures.
The ideal in this case would be for the leader to review the set of company policies and standards and seek to establish new rules and procedures for living and working together.
Having a cohesive team is not a weakness for an organization, the ideal is to know how to exploit the potential of each member of that team, so that each one delivers to the company an effective job that contributes to the achievement of the objectives and organizational goals.
The manager can also invest in training, redesigning the layout of work and tasks, setting deadlines for completing activities, delivering warnings to ward off inappropriate behavior during working hours, etc.
Job-Order Costing and Decision Making [LO2-1, LO2-2, LO2-3]
Taveras Corporation is currently operating at 50% of its available manufacturing capacity. It uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Machine-hours required to support estimated production 225,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 4,275,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 2.00
Required:
1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
2. During the year, Job P90 was started, completed, and sold to the customer for $3,700. The following information was available with respect to this job:
Direct materials 1,702
Direct labor cost $ 1,221
Machine-hours used 84
Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90.
Answer:
a. $21 per machine hours
b. $4,855
Explanation:
a. The computation of the plantwide predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Plantwide predetermined overhead rate is
= Variable overhead cost rate per machine hour + Fixed overhead cost rate per machine hour
= $2 + (fixed manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated machine hours)
= $2 + ($4,275,000 ÷ 225,000 machine hours)
= $2 + $19
= $21 per machine hour
b. Now the total manufacturing cost assigned is
Particulars Amount
Direct material $1,702
Direct labor $1,221
Variable manufacturing overhead $168
(84 × $2)
Total variable cost $3,091
Add:
Fixed manufacturing overhead
(84 × $21) $1,764
Total manufacturing cost assigned
to Job P90 $4,855

A customer purchases $100,000 of corporate bonds at 80% in a margin account. The customer must deposit:
Answer:
$16,000
Explanation:
Computation of what the customer must deposit for purchasing $100,000 of corporate bonds at 80% in a margin account
Since the minimum maintenance is the standard that is set by FINRA is the greater of 7% of the face amount or 20% of the market value.
Hence,
The bonds are purchased at 80% of $100,000 par, thus the first step is to find the 80% of $100,000. Calculated as :
80%×$100,000= $80,000
Second step is to find the 20% of $80,000 which is calculated as:
20% ×$80,000 = $16,000.
Third step is to find the 7% of $100,000, calculated as:
7% of $100,000 face = $7,000.
Based on the above calculation the greater amount is $16,000 which means that the customer must deposit the amount of $16,000 which is the greater amount.
Home equity line interest. Sean and Amy Anderson have a home with an appraised value of $180,000 and a mortgage balance of only $90,000. Given that an S&L is willing to lend money at a loan-to-value ratio of 75 percent, how big a home equity credit line can Sean and Amy obtain? How much, if any, of this line would qualify as tax-deductible interest if their house originally cost $100,000?
Answer:
$135,000
$75,000
Explanation:
Home value = $180,000
Loan to Value ratio = 75%
Formula: Maximum loan amount = Home value x loan to value ratio
Maximum loan amount = $180,000 x 75%
Maximum loan amount = $135,000
If the value of house is $100,000 then,
$100,000 x 75% = $75,000
$75,000 would qualify as Tax deductible interest
g on january 1 playa company acquires 90 percent ownership in seaside corporation for 180,000 the fair value of noncontrolling interest what will be the amount of consolidated net assets that would be reported
The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
On January 1, Playa Company acquires 90 percent ownership in Seaside Corporation for $180,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at that time is determined to be $20,000. Seaside reports net assets with a book value of $200,000 and fair value of $200,000. Playa Company reports net assets with a book value of $480,000 and a fair value of $525,000 at that time, excluding its investment in Seaside. What will be the amount of consolidated net assets that would be reported immediately after the combination?
Answer:
$680,000
Explanation:
Since Playa Company owns 90% of Seaside Corporation, it is considered Seaside's parent company and it must include all of Seaside's assets when it presents its consolidated balance sheet.
Total net assets reported = $480,000 (Playa's net assets at book value) + $200,000 (Seaside's net assets) = $680,000

A lumber mill is capable of producing 10,000 board feet of lumber per day when run ten hours per day with minimal breaks. Over the past year, forestry legislation has reduced the availability of raw materials, so the mill has produced an average of 4,575 board feet per day. What is the utilization of the plant
Answer:
45.75%
Explanation:
When asking for the utilization of the plant, the question is basically referring to how much of its full potential is the plant currently operating at. Therefore this can be calculated by dividing its current output (4,575) by its maximum output (10,000) like so...
4,575 / 10,000 = 0.4575
Now we multiply that by 100 in order to get the percentage.
0.4575 * 100 = 45.75%
Therefore the current utilization of the plant is 45.75%

You can determine a company’s cash situation by analyzing the cash flow statement. The cash flow statement also helps determine whether the company (1) is generating enough cash from its operations to make new investments and pay dividends or (2) will need to generate cash by issuing new debt or selling its assets.
Which of the following is true for the statement of cash flows?
a. It reflects cash generated and used during the reporting period.
b. It reflects revenues when earned.
Answer: a. It reflects cash generated and used during the reporting period
Explanation:
The Cash flow statement is very important and is useful to various stakeholders in a company with the most important being the Company Management itself and Creditors.
Management are able to use the Cash flow statement to see how much actual cash was spent in the year as well as how much was used. This is important because the Income statement contains entries that might show revenue that have not being received or expenses such as depreciation that did not impact the actual cash the company has. The Cash flow statement fixes this by showing those actual figures thus enabling the company to plan better.
It is also useful to Creditors so that they see if a company is able to pay them for the period.

YellowCard Company manufactures accessories for iPods. It had the following selected transactions during 2017. (Note: For any part of this problem requiring an interest or discount rate, use 10%.)
1. YellowCard provides a 2-year warranty on its docking stations, which it began selling in 2017. During 2017, YellowCard spent $6,000 servicing warranty claims. At year-end, YellowCard estimates that an additional $45,000 will be spent in the future to service warranties related to 2017 sales.
2. YellowCard has a $200,000 loan outstanding from First Trust Corp. The loan is set to mature on February 28, 2018. For several years, First Trust has agreed to extend the loan, as long as YellowCard makes all its quarterly interest payments (interest is due on the last days of each February, May, August, and November) and maintains an acid-test ratio (also called "quick ratio") of at least 1.25. First Trust has provided YellowCard a "commitment letter" indicating that First Trust will extend the loan another 12 months, providing YellowCard makes the interest payment due on March 31.
3. During 2016, YellowCard constructed a small manufacturing facility specifically to manufacture one particular accessory. YellowCard paid the construction contractor $5,000,000 cash (which was the total contract price) and placed the facility into service on January 1, 2017. Because of technological change, YellowCard anticipates that the manufacturing facility will be useful for no more than 10 years. The local government where the facility is located required that, at the end of the 10-year period, YellowCard remediate the facility so that it can be used as a community center. YellowCard estimates the cost of remediation to be $500,000.

Explanation:
Warranty: the additional expected expense are considered warranty laibility
Loan: we previously recorded accrued interest from March 1st to Dec 31th
That is: 200,000 x 10% x 10/12 months = 16,667 payable
At February 28th we recognize the last two month of interest
200,000 x 10% x 2/12 months = 3,333 expense
in total we have 16,667 + 3,333 = 20,000 cash outlay
Facility: the asset should add to all the cost necessary to acquire it:
As the conversion into community center is mandatory it is part of the cost:
present value of the 500,000 in ten years:
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]

the pure expectations theory holds, which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The maturity risk premium would be zero. b. The yield curve for Treasury securities would be flat, but the yield curve for corporate securities might be downward sloping. c. If 2-year bonds yield more than 1-year bonds, an investor with a 2-year time horizon would almost certainly end up with more money if he or she bought 2-year bonds. d. The yield curve for both Treasury and corporate bonds should be flat. e. The yield curve for Treasury securities cannot be downward sloping.
Answer: The Maturity Risk Premium would be zero.
Explanation:
The Pure Expectations Theory believes that forward rates are just a representation of what people expect Future rates to be.
For this reason therefore, it believed that the Maturity Premium is Zero amongst Long Term Treasury Securities and that the difference in interest rates attached to Treasury bonds of different maturities is simply a result of what people perceive future interest rates to look like but as for Maturity Premiums, it doesn't exist in long term Treasury Securities.

Abburi Company's manufacturing overhead is 55% of its total conversion costs. If direct labor is $58,500 and if direct materials are $29,200, the manufacturing overhead is:
Answer:
$71,500
Explanation:
The computation of manufacturing overhead is shown below:-
We assume conversion cost = x
Conversion cost = Labor cost + manufacturing overhead
x = $58,500 + 0.55x
x = $58,500 ÷ 0.45
= $130,000
Now the manufacturing overhead is
= Conversion cost × maufacturing overhead percentage
= $130,000 × 55%
= $71,500
We simply applied the above formula
If workers leave a country to seek out better opportunities in another country, then this will move the original economy up along a stationary short-run aggregate supply curve. move the original economy down along a stationary short-run aggregate supply curve. shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the left. shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the right.
Answer: Shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the left.
Explanation:
Workers are an input in the production of goods and services. If workers in an economy reduce in number, this would mean that there would be less workers able to produce goods and services in the country. This will invariably lead to a decrease in the amount of goods and services supplied and when there is a decrease in supply, the Short-Run Aggregate Supply curve will shift to the left to reflect this.

In 1985, a given Japanese imported automobile sold for 1,476,000 yen, or $8,200. If the car still sold for the same amount of yen today but the current exchange rate is 144 yen per dollar, what would the car be selling for today in U.S. dollars?
Answer:
The car will be selling for $10250 today
Explanation:
To calculate the selling price of the car in dollars today, we have to convert the value of 1476000 yen into dollars based on the exchange rate between dollars and yen today. It is known that the car will be sold for the same amount of yen today for which it was sold in 1985 and this amount is 1476000 yen.
We know that 1 dollar equals 144 yen.
Thus, let x be the number of dollars that equal 1476000 yen today.

On December 31, 2021, Coolwear Inc. had balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts of $44,000 and $1,300, respectively. During 2022, Coolwear wrote off $775 in accounts receivable and determined that there should be an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $4,100 at December 31, 2022. Bad debt expense for 2022 would be:
Answer: $3,575
Explanation:
Opening balance for Allowance for Noncollectable Accounts for 2022 is closing balance for 2021 = $1,300.
Cool wear wrote off $775 during the year which would come out of the allowance;
= 1,300 - 775
= $525
An allowance of $4,100 was determined for the year which means that the Bad debt expense is the difference between the determined allowance and the current balance because this is the amount that the account had to be increased by to cater for the bad debt expense.
= 4,100 - 525
= $3,575
Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 10 years ago for $5 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $9.6 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $15.2 million to build, and the site requires $960,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction.

Calculation of initial investment outflow = $25,760,000
Therefore the initial investment outflow is $25,760,000
