Answer:
Direct material price variance= $69,160 unfavorable
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Standard price= 478,800/72,000= $6.65
Actual price= 574,560/76,000= $7.56
Direct material price variance= (6.65 - 7.56)*76,000
Direct material price variance= $69,160 unfavorable

Pharoah Inc. loans money to John Kruk Corporation in the amount of $976,000. Pharoah accepts an 8% note due in 7 years with interest payable semiannually. After 2 years (and receipt of interest for 2 years), Pharoah needs money and therefore sells the note to Chicago National Bank, which demands interest on the note of 10% compounded semiannually. What is the amount Pharoah will receive on the sale of the note
Answer: $900,635
Explanation:
Amount Pharaoh will receive is:
= Present value of the interest payments + Present value of the note
2 years have gone by which leaves 5 years.
Period = 5 * 2 = 10 semi annual periods
Periodic interest = 8% / 2 = 4%
Periodic discount = 10% / 2 = 5% per period
Interest payment = 976,000 * 4%
= $39,040
Amount to be received:
= (39,040 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 5%, 10 periods) + 976,000/(1 + 5%)¹⁰
= (39,040 * 7.7217) + 599,179.34
= $900,635

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales of ice cream during June = 8,800 servings
Price per serving = $5
Sales revenue = $44,000 ($5 * 8,800)
Purchase cost of ice cream in large tubs = $14 * 8,800/28 = $4,400
Purchase cost of ice cream cones = $0.15 * 8,800 = $1,320
Total cost of direct materials = $5,720
Fixed costs:
Rent = $2,050 per month
Depreciation = $220
Other operating expenses:
Fixed operating expense = $2,100 ($2,800 * 75%)
Variable operating expense = $700 ($2,800 * 25%)

Independent of your answer to requirement (1), assume the company plans to produce 620,000 units of finished product in the three-month period ending September 30, and to have raw-material inventory on hand at the end of the three-month period equal to 25 percent of the use in that period. Compute the total estimated cost of raw-material purchases for the entire three-month period ending September 30
Answer:
Purchases= 1,595,000 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 620,000 units
Beginning raw materials inventory= 730,000 pounds
Desired ending inventory= 25% of the three months requirement.
Each unit requires 3 pounds of raw material.
To calculate the purchases required, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= (620,000*3) + (620,000*3)*0.25 - 730,000
Purchases= 1,595,000 pounds
During 2016 Green Thumb Company introduced a new line of garden shears that carry a two-year warranty against defects. Experience indicates that warranty costs should be 2% of net sales in the year of sale and 3% in the year after sale. Net sales and actual warranty expenditures were as follows: Net sales Actual warranty expenditures 2016 $ 45,000 $ 1,000 2017 120,000 3,500 At December 31, 2017, Green Thumb should report as a warranty liability of:
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, the computation of warranty liability is shown below;
Warranty liability = (Net sales of 2016 × After sale percentage) + (Net sales of 2017 × Year of sale percentage)
= ($45,000 × 3%) + ($120,000 × 2%)
= $1,350 + $2,400
= $3,750
Therefore, Green Thumb should report as a warranty liability of $3,750

FARO Technologies, whose products include portable 3D measurement equipment, recently had 36 million shares outstanding trading at $25 a share. Suppose the company announces its intention to raise $390 million by selling new shares. b. How large a loss in dollar terms will existing FARO shareholders experience on the announcement date, based on studies that show losses are 30% of the size of the new issue
Answer:
A. $117 million
B.13%
C. $21.75
Explanation:
B. Calculation to determine How large a loss in dollar terms will existing FARO shareholders experience on the announcement date
Expected Loss= 390*30%
Expected Loss= $117 millions
Therefore How large a loss in dollar terms will existing FARO shareholders experience on the announcement date will be $117 millions
B. Calculation to determine What percentage of the value of FARO’s existing equity prior to the announcement is this expected gain or loss
First step is to calculate the Existing Shares Value
Existing Shares Value =36*$25
Existing Shares Value= $900 millions
Now let calculate the Expected Loss %
Expected Loss % = $ 117/$ 900
Expected Loss % = 13%
Therefore the percentage of the value of FARO’s existing equity prior to the announcement is this expected gain or loss will be 13%
C. Calculation to determine At what price should FARO expect its existing shares to sell immediately after the announcement
Price Per Share: $ 25*(1 - 0.13)
Price Per Share$25*0.87
Price Per Share: $21.75
Therefore what price should FARO expect its existing shares to sell immediately after the announcement is $21.75

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.
Hence, activities that involve the production or purchase of merchandise and the sale of goods and services to customers, including expenditures related to administering the business, are classified as operating activities. All the net income or cash from all operational business activities of a company is recorded as operating activities.
Basically, the financial statements are the formally written records of the business and financial activities of a business entity or organization which includes;
a. Receiving Sheet: prepared when materials that have been ordered are received and inspected.
b. Time tickets: serve as the basis for recording direct labor on a job cost sheet.
c. Job Cost sheet: these make up the work in process subsidiary ledger.
d. Cost allocation: the process by which factory overhead is assigned to a cost object.
e. Material requisitions: serve as the basis for recording materials used.
Prepare a cost estimate for the construction of a small, high quality, office building that contains 18,525 square feet of floor area. Use the data on the last page to prepare the estimate. Assume the cost of design for the project is 7% of construction, and a site-work cost of $180,000. What range or percentage of this cost would you recommend to define the level of accuracy
Answer: $2197570
Explanation:
The cost estimate is prepared below:
Base cost = $101.15 × 18525 = $1873804
Add: Site work cost = $180000
Total = $1,873,804 + $180,000 = $2053804
Add: Design fees = 7% × $2053804 = 0.07 × $2053804 = $143766
Estimated cost = $2053804 + $143766 = $2197570
The range or percentage of this cost will be +50%.
Under absorption costing, a company had the following unit costs when 8,000 units were produced. Compute the total production cost per unit under variable costing if 20,000 units had been produced. Direct labor $8.50 per unit Direct material $9.00 per unit Variable overhead $6.75 per unit Fixed overhead ($60,000/8,000 units) $7.50 per unitCompute the total production cost per unit under variable costing if 20,000 units had been produced. a. $26.25 b. $27.25 c. $24.25 d. $31.75 e. $17.50
Answer:
d. $31.75
Explanation:
Computation for the total production cost per unit
Direct labor $8.50 per unit
Direct material $9.00 per unit
Variable overhead $6.75 per unit
Fixed overhead ($60,000/8,000 units) $7.50 per unit
Total production cost per unit $31.75
($8.50 + $6.75 + $9.00 + $7.50)
Therefore the total production cost per unit under variable costing if 20,000 units had been produced will be $31.75
Marlin Corporation reported pretax book income of $1,005,000. During the current year, the net reserve for warranties increased by $26,000. In addition, book depreciation exceeded tax depreciation by $100,500. Finally, Marlin subtracted a dividends received deduction of $15,500 in computing its current year taxable income. Marlin's current income tax expense or benefit would be:
Answer: $234360
Explanation:
Marlin's current income tax expense or benefit would be calculated thus:
Pre-tax book income = $1,005,000
Add: net reserve for warranties = $26,000
Add: Increase in Book depreciation over tax depreciation = $100,500.
Less: Dividend deduction = ($15500)
Taxable income = $1,116,000
Since tax rate = 21%, then the income expense will be:
= 21% × $1,116,000
= 0.21 × $1,116,000
= $234360
A manufacturer of cedar shingles has supplied the following data: Bundles of cedar shakes produced and sold 360,000 Sales revenue $ 2,412,000 Variable manufacturing expense $ 1,170,000 Fixed manufacturing expense $ 714,000 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 414,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 82,000 Net operating income $ 32,000 The company's break-even in unit sales is closest to:
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 346,087
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the unitary selling price and unitary variable cost:
Selling price= 2,412,000 / 360,000= $6.7
Unitary variable cost= (1,170,000 + 414,000) / 360,000= $4.4
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= (714,000 + 82,000) / (6.7 - 4.4)
Break-even point in units= 346,087
A company currently pays a dividend of $2.2 per share (D0 = $2.2). It is estimated that the company's dividend will grow at a rate of 18% per year for the next 2 years, and then at a constant rate of 8% thereafter. The company's stock has a beta of 1.4, the risk-free rate is 8%, and the market risk premium is 3.5%. What is your estimate of the stock's current price? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Answer:
P0 = $57.6722 rounded off to $57.67
Explanation:
To calculate the market price of the stock today, we will use the two stage growth model of DDM. The two stage growth model calculates the values of the stock today based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n + [(D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2)) / (r - g2)] / (1+r)^n
Where,
D0 is the dividend today g1 is the short term growth rateg2 is the long term or constant growth r is the required rate of return on the stockWe first need to calculate r using the CAPM equation. The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rpM is the market risk premium
r = 0.08 + 1.4 * 0.035
r = 0.129 or 12.9%
Using the price formula for DDM above, we can calculate the price today to be,
P0 = 2.2 * (1+0.18) / (1+0.129) + 2.2 * (1+0.18)^2 / (1+0.129)^2 +
[(2.2 * (1+0.18)^2 * (1+0.08)) / (0.129 - 0.08)] / (1+0.129)^2
P0 = $57.6722 rounded off to $57.67

Anna owns the Sweet Alps Chocolate store. She charges $10 per pound for her hand made chocolate. You, the economist, have calculated the elasticity of demand for chocolate in her town to be 2.5. If she wants to increase her total revenue, what advice will you give her and why? Use diagrams and economic terms to explain your answer.
Answer: Decrease her prices.
Explanation:
The elasticity of demand shows the change in quantity demanded as a result of a change in price.
In this case, if price decreases by 1%, quantity demanded for chocolate would increase by 2.5%.
If she wants to increase her revenue therefore, she should decrease the price.
For example:
If the demand was 10 chocolate bars a day, she would earn:
= 10 * 10
= $100 a day
If she decreased the price by 10%, price would be:
= 10 * ( 1 -10%)
= $9.00
Quantity demanded would be:
= 10 * (1 + 25%)
= 12.5 bars
Revenue would become:
= 12.5 * 9

NuEditions Book Company uses a final average salary formula to calculate an employee’s pension benefits. The amount used in the calculations is the salary average of the final 3 years of employment. The retiree will receive an annual benefit that is equivalent to 1.75% of the final average for each year of employment. Mike and Rob are both retiring at the end of this year. Calculate their annual retirement pension given the following information:
Mike: Years of employment: 25;
Final three annual salaries: $84,780, $84,900, $85,000
Kristy: Years of employment: 27;
Final three annual salaries: $71,600, $73,400, $78,000
Answer:
Mike : $37140.83
Kristy : $35,122.50
Explanation:
Given the data:
Mike:
Years of employment: 25;
Final three annual salaries: $84,780, $84,900, $85,000
Average :
$(84,780 + 84,900 + 85,000) /3
$254680 ÷ 3
= $84893.333
1.75% of average
0.0175 * $84893.333
= $1485.6333
$1485.6333 * number of years
$1485.6333 * 25
= $37140.833
Kristy:
Years of employment: 27;
Final three annual salaries: $71,600, $73,400, $78,000
Average = $(71,600 + 73,400 + 78,000) / 3
Average = $223,000 / 3
= $74,333.333
1.75% * $74333.333
= $1300.8333
$1300.8333 * 27
= $35,122.5
Wilbert's Clothing Stores just paid a $1.25 annual dividend. The company has a policy whereby the dividend increases by 2% annually. You would like to purchase 100 shares of stock in this firm but realize that you will not have the funds to do so for another three years. If you desire a 12% rate of return, how much should you expect to pay for 100 shares when you can afford to buy this stock
Answer:
Expected cost =$1,275
Explanation:
The value of a stock using the dividend valuation model, is the present value of the expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return. The required rate of return is the cost of equity .
The model is represented below:
P = D× (1+g)/ ke- g
Ke- cost of equity, g - growth rate, p - price of the stock
Ke- 12%, g= 2%, D=1.25
Applying this model, we have
Price = 1.25× (1.02)/(0.12-0.02)=$12.75
The total cost of 100 units = unit price × 100
=12.75× 100 = $1,275
Expected cost =$1,275

Kingston anticipates total sales for June and July of $370,000 and $318,000, respectively. Cash sales are normally 60% of total sales. Of the credit sales, 25% are collected in the same month as the sale, 60% are collected during the first month after the sale, and the remaining 15% are collected in the second month after the sale. Determine the amount of accounts receivable reported on the company’s budgeted balance sheet as of July 31.
Answer:
$117,600
Explanation:
Given that the company has Cash sales that are normally 60% of total sales and Of the credit sales, 25% are collected in the same month as the sale, 60% are collected during the first month after the sale, and the remaining 15% are collected in the second month after the sale
In June, total sales $370,000
Amount that would not have been collected from this sale at the end of July
= 40% * 15% * $370,000
= $22,200
In July, total sales is $318,000,
Amount that would not have been collected from this sale at the end of July
= 40% *75% * $318,000
= $95,400
Hence the amount of accounts receivable reported on the company’s budgeted balance sheet as of July 31
= $22,200 + $95,400
= $117,600

Identify whether each of the following statements best illustrates the concept of consumer surplus, producer surplus, or neither. Statement Consumer Surplus Producer Surplus Neither Even though I was willing to pay up to $69 for a used textbook and even though the seller was willing to go as low as $60 in order to sell it, we couldn't reach a deal because the government imposed a price floor of $74 on the sale of textbooks. I sold a watch for $60, even though I was willing to go as low as $55 in order to sell it. Even though I was willing to pay up to $114 for a used laptop, I bought a used laptop for only $107.
Answer:
neither
producer surplus
consumer surplus
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept
The first scenario is neither a producer or consumer surplus because a transaction did not take place
The second scenario is a producer surplus.
the producer surplus = 60 - 55 = 5
The third scenario is a consumer surplus
consumer surplus = $114 - $107 = $7
