Answer: $25,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that the borrowing rate rB=10% compounded annually and the lending rate (or equivalently, the interest rate on deposits) is only 8% compounded annually.
The upper bounds on the price of an perpetuity that pays $10,000 per year will be:
= $10,000/10%
= $10,000/0.1
= $100,000
The lower bounds on the price of an perpetuity that pays $10,000 per year will be:
= $10,000/8%
= $10,000/0.08
= $125,000
The difference between the upper and lower bounds will now be:
= $125,000 - $100,000
= $25,000
In calculating a predetermined overhead rate, a recent trend in automated manufacturing operations is to choose an activity base related to
Answer: c. machine hours.
Explanation:
In reference to Automated Operations, the Activity base that is usually used to in determining a pre-determined overhead rate are Machine hours.
It is standard practice to relate overhead to the Direct Labor involved in the production of a commodity and since in this case the direct Labor mostly consists of Machines (Automated) then it is best to relate activities to the Machine hours involved instead.
If the fixed costs are $450,000, the unit selling price is $75, and the unit variable costs are $50, what are the old and new break-even sales (units) if the unit selling price increases by $10
Answer:
Old break even points= 18,000 units
New break even points= 12,857 units
Explanation:
The fixed costs are $450,000
The unit selling price is $75
The unit variable costs are $50
The unit selling price have an increase of 10 units
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin per unit
Contribution margin per unit= Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit
= $75-$50
= $25 per unit
The old break even point can be calculated as follows
= Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit
= $450,000/$25
= 18,000 units
Since there is an increase in the unit selling price by $10 per unit then, the contribution matgin per unit can be calculated as follows
= $25+$10
= $35
Therefore, the new break even point can be calculated as follows
= $450,000/$35
= 12,857 units
Hence the old break even point and new break even point are 18,000 units and 12,857 units respectively
E6-23 (similar to) Aunt Betty Bakery reported net sales revenue of $ 59 comma 000 and cost of goods sold of $ 17 comma 000. Compute Aunt Betty's correct gross profit if the company made either of the following independent accounting errors. a. Ending merchandise inventory is overstated by $ 4 comma 000. b. Ending merchandise inventory is understated by $ 4 comma 000.
Answer:
a. Ending merchandise inventory is overstated by $4,000.
net sales revenue of $59,000
cost of goods sold of $17,000 + $4,000 = $21,000
gross profit = $38,000
Since ending inventory was overstated, it means that COGS were understated.
b. Ending merchandise inventory is understated by $4,000.
net sales revenue of $59,000
cost of goods sold of $17,000 - $4,000 = $13,000
gross profit = $46,000
Since ending inventory was understated, it means that COGS were overstated.
How much would you need to deposit in an account now in order to have $4000 in the account in 5 years? Assume the account earns 3% interest compounded monthly.
Answer:
PV= $3,443.48

Answer:
a:Total Variable Costs $26
a:Total Manufacturing Costs = $ 30
b:Net Income Variable Costing $100,000
b: Net Income Absorption Costing $ 100,000
Explanation:
Smuckers Manufacturers
Costs per case under Variable Costing
Direct materials per case 16
Direct labor per case 7
Variable manufacturing overhead per case 3
Total Variable Costs $26
Costs per case under Absorption Costing
Direct materials (30,000*16) 480,000
Direct labor (30,000*7) 210,000
Variable manufacturing overhead (30,000*3) 90,000
Total Variable Costs 780,000
Total fixed manufacturing overhead $120,000
Total Manufacturing Costs $ 900,000
Total Manufacturing Costs per Case= $ 900,000/ 30,000= $ 30
The difference between the variable and absorption costing is that the product costs include variable and fixed costs in absorption costing. But in variable costing the product costs include only variable costs.
SMUCKERS

Sales (30,000*34) 1020,000
Direct materials (30,000*16) 480,000
Direct labor (30,000*7) 210,000
Variable manufacturing overhead (30,000*3) 90,000
Total Variable Costs 780,000
Contribution Margin 240,000
Fixed Expenses 140,000
Total fixed manufacturing overhead $120,000
Fixed selling and administrative 20,000
Net Income 100,000
In this case the net income under both variable and absorption costing does not change because the units produced are units sold. No cost is charged to ending inventory under absorption costing.

Answer:
loss = $1,000
Explanation:
the customer will receive $5 (call price) + $44 (call price) = $49 for every share that he/she owns.
since the market price was $59, then the customer lost $59 - $49 = $10 for every share that he/she owned, resulting in a total loss = $10 per share x 100 shares = $1,000
A call option gives the buyer the option to purchase a stock at a set price during a specific time frame.

Ken immediately informs one of his friends, a federal agent, regarding his company’s illegal activities. Which of the following statements is true of the given scenario?A) There are no implications because the shelf-life of pharmaceuticals is typically much longer than as dated.B) Ken’s constitutional right to freedom of speech would protect him from any form of retaliation by his employer.C) Ken would receive no protection since no comprehensive whistle-blowing law protects the right to free speech.D) Ken would be protected by law from retaliation by his employer.
Answer: D) Ken would be protected by law from retaliation by his employer.
Explanation:
Ken would be protected from any retaliation from his employer by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act under section §1514A of the act that protects Whistleblowers.
The act directly prohibits the discharging, demotion, suspension, harassment, or in any other type discriminate against a a whistleblower.
Ken in his actions acted as a Whistleblower and as such would be afforded due protection by the law.
Tom and Suri decide to take a worldwide cruise. To do so, they need to save $15,000. They plan to invest $2,500 at the end of each year for the next six years to earn 9% compounded annually. Calculate the future value of the investment. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $18,808.25
Explanation:
There is a constant cashflow of $2,500 making this an annuity.
The future value of the $2,500 paid every year for 6 years at 9% will be;
Future value of Annuity = 2,500 * Future Value of Annuity factor, 6 periods, 9%) (refer to attached table)
= 2,500 * 7.5233
= $18,808.25
The future value of the amount is more than the amount they would require.
Exercise 7-3A Allocate costs in a basket purchase (LO7-1) Red Rock Bakery purchases land, building, and equipment for a single purchase price of $360,000. However, the estimated fair values of the land, building, and equipment are $115,000, $253,000, and $92,000, respectively, for a total estimated fair value of $460,000. Required: Determine the amounts Red Rock should record in the separate accounts for the land, the building, and the equipment
Answer:
Land = $90,000
Building = $198,000
Land = $72,000
Explanation:
The Fair Values of Land, Building and Equipment are used to apportion the single purchase price to the respective asset accounts as follows :
Land = $115,000/ $460,000 × $360,000
= $90,000
Building = $253,000/ $460,000 × $360,000
= $198,000
Land = $92,000/ $460,000 × $360,000
= $72,000
Classical economists contend that official measures of unemployment: Multiple Choice understate the problem due to the existence of discouraged workers. overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary. understate the problem due to involuntary part-time employment. overstate the problem because most unemployment is cyclical.
Answer: overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary.
Explanation:
Unemployment is a term that is used to refer to individuals who are looking for job but can not find a job.
Classical economists contend that official measures of unemployment
overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary.
According to the Classical economists, there is increase in employment because those seeking employment do not want to work for lower wages but will rather wait for high paying jobs and this therefore leads to overstating of the unemployment rate.
Obama drives up miles-per-gallon requirements Emissions from all new vehicles must be cut from 354 grams to 250 grams. To meet this new standard, the price of a new vehicle will rise by $1,300. Source: USA Today, May 20, 2009 What is the opportunity cost of reducing the emission level by 1 gram?
Answer:
$12.5 per gram
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the cost which is:
Future related costCash flow in natureIncremental Cost or DifferentialIn simple words, opportunity cost is the benefit lost due to given up another best alternative.
To reduce the pollution level from 354 to 250 gram, the price of new vehicle will increase by $1300.
Hence
The increase in price per gram = $1,300 / (354 - 250) = $12.5 per gram
This is the opportunity cost per gram increase in Carbon dioxide emission which the companies will have to bear if they don't opt to environmental free vehicles.
CDB stock is currently priced at $80. The company will pay a dividend of $4.57 next year and investors require a return of 10.8 percent on similar stocks. What is the dividend growth rate on this stock
Answer:
The answer is 5.09%
Explanation:
The model used in this question is the Dividend Discount Model and it is one of the methods used in determining the price of stock. Here, the price of stock had already been determined. We are looking for one of the variables (growth rate) used in determining the price.
The formula for determining price of stock is:
Po = D1/r - g
Where Po is the price of stock
D1 is the dividend for next year
r is the rate of return
g is the dividend growth rate
$80 = $4.57/0.108 - g
Cross multiply:
8.64 - 80g = 4.57
80g = 8.64 - 4.57
80g = 4.07
g = 4.07/80
g =0.05088
g = 5.09%

Weatherwear estimates that every unit sold and returned due to defect costs the company $200 in profits. Approximately what would Weatherwear’s total profits have been in Year 5 if all units sold and returned due to defect had been eliminated?
Answer: С. $9.5 million
Explanation:
The units that were sold and later returned due to defect in Year 5 total;
= 688 + 124 + 536 + 28 + 101 + 8 + 206 + 28 + 120 + 1,050 + 30
= 2,919 units were sold and later returned
Each unit costs the company $200 in profits so;
= 2,919 * 200
= $583,800
Weatherwear made a total profit of $8.9 million in Year 5.
If the defective units had been eliminated then the loss as a result of the units would have been added to the profits as;
= 8,900,000 + 583,800
= $9,483,800
= $9.5 million
We have the following data for a hypothetical open economy: GNP = $12 comma 00012,000 Consumption (C) = $7 comma 2007,200 Investment (I) = $1 comma 0001,000 Government Purchases (G) = $1 comma 6001,600 Tax Collections (T) = $1 comma 2001,200 What is the value of private savings plus public savings? $nothing (Enter your answer as an integer. Include a minus sign if necessary.) What is the value of the current account balance CA? $nothing (Enter your answer as an integer. Include a minus sign if necessary.)
Answer:
The value of private savings plus public savings is $3,200
The value of the current account balance CA is $2,200
Explanation:
In order to calculate the value of private savings plus public savings we would have to make the following calculation:
Total saving = private saving+public saving
Total saving =GNP-Tax Collections-Consumption+Tax Collections-Government Purchases
Total saving =$12,000-$1,200-$7,200+$1,200-$1,600
Total saving =$3,200
To calculate the value of the current account balance CA we would have to make the following calculation:
value of the current account balance CA=GNP-Consumption-Investment-Government Purchases
value of the current account balance CA= $12,000 - $7,200 -$1,000-$1,600
value of the current account balance CA= $2,200
The market basket approach is intended to isolate changes in consumption level by holding constant the cost of goods and services purchased in two or more periods of interest.
Answer:
The market basket approach is intended to isolate changes in price level by holding constant the quantity of goods and services purchased in two or more periods of interest.
The Market Basket Approach is a method of measuring price changes in the Economy and is usually used to track changes in an individual market segment. It works by constantly buying a certain amount of goods and services overtime. The changes in price for those exact same goods will give an indication of just how much price is changing by in the Economy.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a type of CPI.
Dora Inc. reported the following on the company's cash flow statement: Sales $3,500,000 Net cash flow from operating activities 350,000 Net cash flow used for investing activities (100,000) Net cash flow used for financing activities (200,000) Free cash flow 290,000 What is the ratio of free cash flow to sales
Answer:
8.3%
Explanation:
Dora Inc. reported a sales of $3,500,000
The net cash flow from operating activities is $350,000
The net cash flow used for investing activities is $100,000
The net cash flow used for financial activities is $200,000
The free cash flow is $290,000
Therefore, the free cash flow to sales ratio can be calculated as follows
Free cash flow to sales ratio= Free cash flow/Sales × 100%
= $290,000/$3,500,000 × 100
= 0.0828×100
= 8.3%
Hence the ratio of the free cash flow to sales is 8.3%
Several years after reengineering its production process, King Corporation hired a new controller, Christine Erickson. She developed an ABC system very similar to the one used by King's chief rival. Part of the reason Erickson developed the ABC system was because King's profits had been declining, even though the company had shifted its product mix toward the product that had appeared most profitable under the old system. Before „ adopting the new ABC system, the company had used a plantwide overhead rate, based on direct labor hours developed years ago. For the upcoming year, King's budgeted ABC manufacturing overhead allocation rates are as follows:
Activity Allocation Base Activity Cost allocation rate
Materials handling Number of parts $4.00 per part
Machine setup Number of setups $375.00 per setup
Insertion of parts Number of parts $28.00 per part
Finishing Finishing direct labor hours $54.00 per hour
The number of parts is now a feasible allocation base because King recently purchased bar-coding technology. King produces two wheel models: Standard and Deluxe Budgeted data for the upcoming year are as follows:
Standard Delux
Parts per wheel 8 10
Setups per 1,000 wheels 20 20
Finishing direct labor hours per wheel 2 3.5
Total direct labor hours per wheel 2.6 3.4
The company's managers expect to produce 1,000 units of each model during the year.
Required:
a. Compute the total budgeted manufacturing overhead cost for the upcoming year.
b. Compute the manufacturing overhead cost per wheel of each model using ABC.
c. Compute the company's traditional plantwide overhead rate. Use this rate to determine the manufacturing overhead cost per wheel under the traditional system.
Answer:
King Corporation
a. Computation of total budgeted manufacturing overhead cost:
Activities Standard Deluxe Total
Materials handling (number of parts):
Standard = 8 x $4 x 1,000 $32,000
Deluxe = 10 x $4 x 1,000 $40,000 $72,000
Machine setup (number of parts):
= 20 x $375 $7,500 $7,500 $15,000
Insertion of parts (number of parts):
Standard = 8 x $28 x 1,000 $224,000
Deluxe = 10 x $28 x 1,000 $280,000 $504,000
Finishing (direct labor hours):
Standard = 2 x $54 x 1,000 $108,000
Deluxe = 3.5 x $54 x 1,000 $189,000 $297,000
Total $371,500 $516,500 $888,000
b. Computation of the manufacturing overhead cost per wheel of each model using ABC:
Standards = $371,500/1,000 = $371.50
Deluxe = $516,500/1,000 = $516.50
c. Computation of the company's traditional plantwide overhead rate to determine manufacturing overhead cost per wheel:
Overhead rate = $888,000/6,000 = $148
Manufacturing overhead cost per wheel:
Standard = $148 x 2.6 = $384.80
Deluxe = $148 x 3.4 = $503.20
Explanation:
a) Calculations:
Total overhead cost = $888,000
Allocation based on total direct labor hours per wheel
Plantwide overhead rate:
Total labor hours:
Standard 2.6 x 1,000 = 2,600 hours
Deluxe 3.4 x 1,000 = 3,400 hours
Total labor hours = 6,000 (2,600 + 3,400)
= $888,000/6,000 = $148 per direct hour
b) According to wikipedia.com, "Activity-based costing is a costing method that identifies activities in an organization and assigns the cost of each activity to all products and services according to the actual consumption by each. This model assigns more indirect costs into direct costs compared to conventional costing."
railway cabooses just paid its annual dividend of 1.70 per share. The company has been reducing the dividends by 11.3 percent each year. How much are you willing to pay today to purchase stock in this company if your required rate of return is 12 percent?
Answer:
8.24
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of purchase stock is shown below:-
Purchase price = Dividend in paid in next year ÷ (required rate of return - Growth rate)
= (1.70 ÷ (1 - 0.113)) ÷ (0.12 - (-0.113))
= 1.92 ÷ 0.233
= 8.24
Therefore for computing the purchase price we simply applied the above formula.
Cindy's current year adjusted gross income (AGI) is $300,000 and her current year total tax liability is $60,000. Her immediate prior year AGI is $200,000 with a total tax liability of $40,000. To avoid an underpayment interest penalty, what is Cindy's minimum required total tax payment amount for the current year
Answer:
The answer is $44,000
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
Now
Present/current year AGI = $300000
Present /current year tax liability = $60000
Prior year AGI = $200000
Prior year tax liability = $40000
Thus
As per Tax rule or applying the Tax rule
If Adjusted gross income(AGI) of prior year is below $250000 then the minimum required tax payment in the current year in order to avoid interest penalty is lower of
(1) 90% of present /current year tax (liability) or
(2) 110% of prior year tax liability
So
Because the prior year AGI is $200000 which is lower than $250000, in order to avoid interest penalty, the minimum required payment amount of tax liability in current/present year is lower of
(1) 90% of current year tax liability of $60000
Then
$60000 *90% = $54000
Or
(2)110% of prior year tax liability of $40000
$40000 ×110% = $44000
Hence, minimum required total tax payment amount for the current year is $44,000
Webby Inc. is a web development company. Webby’s monthly production function for developing websites is given in the table below. Webby pays $4,000 a month in rent for office space and equipment. It pays each programmer $3,000 a month. There are no other production costs. Fill in the table of production costs.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the filling of the given table for the production cost is shown in the attachment below:
As we know that
Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost
Average fixed cost = fixed cost ÷ websites
Average Variable cost = Variable cost ÷ websites
Therefore the average total cost is
= Average fixed cost + average variable cost
The marginal cost is
= Change in total cost ÷ change in quantity
These formulas are used to complete the table as given below.

When a court hears a breach of contract dispute, its job is to:
Super Carpeting Inc. (SCI) just paid a dividend (D₀) of $3.12 per share, and its annual dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate (g) of 6.50% per year. If the required return (r s ) on SCI’s stock is 16.25%, then the intrinsic value of SCI’s shares is
Answer:
Intrinsic Value = $33.23
Explanation:
The intrinsic value of a stock using the dividend valuation model is the present value of the the future dividend expected from the stock discounted at the required rate of return.
This model is represented as follows
D(1+g)/(r-g) = P
Price, D- dividend payable in now, ke- required rate of return, g- growth rate
D- 3.12 , g-6.50% r-6.25%

Keidis Industries will pay a dividend of $5.15, $6.25, and $7.45 per share for each of the next three years, respectively. In four years, you believe that the company will be acquired for $69.00 per share. The return on similar stocks is 11.4 percent. What is the current stock price
Answer:
The answer is $59.85
Explanation:
This question will be solved using the Dividend Discount Model. It is one of the valuation methods used in valuing price of Equity/stock.
Po = D1 + (1 + r)^n + D2 + (1 + r)^n + D2 + (1 + r)^n + CF4 /(1 + r)^n
Po is the current worth of stocks
D1, D2, D3 is the dividend paid in year 1, 2 and 3
CF4 is the price of the company in year 4
r is the discount rate
n is the number of years
$5.15 /1.114^1 + $6.25 /1.114^2 +$7.45/1.114^3 + $69/1.114^4
$4.62 + $5.04 + $5.39 + $44.80
Current price of the stock = $59.85
