Gross Profit MethodBased on the following data, estimate the cost of the ending merchandise inventory: Sales (net) $9,250,000 Estimated gross profit rate 36% Beginning merchandise inventory $180,000 Purchases (net) 5,945,000 Merchandise available for sale $6,125,000
Answer:
$205,000
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of the ending merchandise inventory is shown below:-
Cost of the ending merchandise inventory = Merchandise available for sale - (Net Sales - Gross profit)
= $6,125,000 - ($9,250,000 - $9,250,000 × 36%)
= $6,125,000 - ($9,250,000 - $3,330,000)
= $205,000
Therefore we applied the above formula so that the cost of ending merchandise inventory could come
If the total revenue variance is favorable and the revenue price variance is unfavorable, then the revenue volume variance must a.exceed the revenue price variance and be favorable b.be less than the revenue price variance and be favorable c.be less than the revenue price variance and be unfavorable d.be equal to the revenue price variance and be favorable
Answer: a.exceed the revenue price variance and be favorable
Explanation:
Revenue Volume x Revenue Price = Total Revenue
From the above formula, for the Total Revenue to be variated positively and yet the Revenue Price is of Negative Variance, it would follow logically that the other variable in the transaction contributed to the favorable variance of the Total Revenue apart from the Revenue Price.
The only other variable is the Revenue Volume. The Revenue volume must therefore have been large and favorable enough to offset the Negative Variance of the Revenue Price.

Magic Realm, Inc., has developed a new fantasy board game. The company sold 48,500 games last year at a selling price of $61 per game. Fixed expenses associated with the game total $873,000 per year, and variable expenses are $41 per game. Production of the game is entrusted to a printing contractor. Variable expenses consist mostly of payments to this contractor. Required: 1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year. 1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage. 2. Management is confident that the company can sell 60,625 games next year (an increase of 12,125 games, or 25%, over last year). Given this assumption: a. What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year? b. What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)
Answer:
1a.
Contribution format income statement for the game last year
Sales ( 48,500 games × $61) $2,958,500
Less Variable Expenses ( 48,500 games × $41) ($1,988,500)
Contribution $970,000
Less Fixed Costs ($873,000)
Net Income / (loss) $97,000
1b. 10.00
2a. 250%
2b. $339,500
Explanation:
Contribution Income Statement : Shows Separately the Variable Costs and Fixed Cost
Degree of operating leverage = Contribution / EBIT
= $970,000 / $97,000
= 10.00
Increase in net operating income = Degree of operating leverage × Percentage Increase in Sales
= 10.00 × 25%
= 250%
Expected amount of net operating income = Last Year`s net operating income × 3.5
= $97,000 × 3.5
= $339,500

High fixed costs and low variable costs are typical of which approach? product process mass customization repetitive product and mass customization
Answer:
Product and mass customization.
Explanation:
In Financial accounting, fixed cost can be defined as predetermined expenses in a business that remain constant for a specific period of time regardless of the quantity of production or level of outputs. Some examples of fixed costs in business are loan payments, employee salary, depreciation, rent, insurance, lease, utilities etc.
On the other hand, variable costs can be defined as expenses that are not constant and as such usually change directly and are proportional to various changes in business activities. Some examples of variable costs are taxes, direct labor, sales commissions, raw materials, operational expenses etc.
High fixed costs and low variable costs are typical of product and mass customization.
Hence, the high fixed costs are usually a determinant for pricing a product that aren't produced in mass because to break even, businesses would need to rake in more revenues to meet the the increasing (high) fixed costs.
However, when this products are manufactured in mass, this would help to cut or lower down the total cost of production.

You are hoping to have $10,000 in your account 7 years from today in order to go on a reindeer expedition in Lapland. If your current balance is $6,000, what APR (compounded monthly) would be required if you are to have $10,000 in your account in 7 years?
Answer:
APR= 7.32%
Explanation:
The APR is computed as shown below:
Future value = Present value (1 + r/ m)^nm
Future value = 10,000
Present value= 6,000
n=7
m=12
$ 10,000 = $ 6,000 (1 + r / 12 )^12 x 7
$ 10,000 = $ 6,000 (1 + r / 12 )^84
($ 10,000 / $ 6,000)^ 1 / 84 - 1 = r / 12
1.006099786 - 1 = r / 12
0.006099786 x 12 = r
r=0.006099786 x 12
r = 7.32%
APR= 7.32%
What is the coupon rate for a bond with 3 years until maturity, a price of $1,053.46, and a yield to maturity of 6%? Interest is paid annually.

When comparing the weighted-average and FIFO methods of process costing, which items are the same in both methods? (
Answer:
Objectives, Concepts and Journal Entry Accounts
Explanation:
The reason is that the objective of the FIFO and Weighted average methods is the same which is to assign the costs that were incurred to convert the raw inventory into finished goods.
The underlying concept in both of the method is cost flow assumption which is the transfer of the cost that was assigned to finished goods, to cost of goods sold.
The journal entry accounts are the same accounts used for weighted average method, LIFO and FIFO methods.
So these are the similarities which are found while comparing FIFO, LIFO and weighted average methods of process costing.

On January 1, 2021, an investor paid $296,000 for bonds with a face amount of $316,000. The contract rate of interest is 12% while the current market rate of interest is 15%. Using the effective interest method, how much interest income is recognized by the investor in 2022 (assume annual interest payments and amortization)
Answer:
$45,372
Explanation:
The computation of the interest income using the effective interest method is shown below
Interest Income is
= [Paid amount + (Paid amount × current market rate of interest) - (face value of the bond × contract rate of interest)] × current market rate of finterest
= [$296,000 + ($296,000 × 15%) - ($316,000 × 12%)] × 15%
= [$296,000 + $44,400 - $37,920)} × 15%

You’re trying to save to buy a new $245,000 Ferrari. You have $50,000 today that can be invested at your bank. The bank pays 4.3 percent annual interest on its accounts. How long will it be before you have enough to buy the car?
Answer:
38 years
Explanation:
You want to find n such that the multiplier over n years gets you from 50,000 to 245,000.
245,000 = 50,000(1 +4.3%)^n
4.9 = 1.043^n
log(4.9) = n·log(1.043)
n = log(4.9)/log(1.043) ≈ 37.7
It will be about 38 years before you will have enough to afford the car at today's price.
_____
Comment on car prices
The rate of inflation of car prices has been about 1.67% since 1953, so taking that into account, you will need much more than $245000 to buy the car. It will take more than 62 years for your bank account to catch up to the price of the car.

The following is TRUE about Inventory:________.A. Firms decrease inventory because there is a risk of significant and unpredictable fluctuations in downstream demand B. Firms decrease inventory because there are price discounts or transportation discounts associated with ordering in larger quantities C. Firms decrease inventory because the more we spend on inventory, the more we need to spend on other inventory-related expenditures D. Firms decrease inventory because there is a risk of interruptions in the flow of components/materials from upstream suppliers E. Firms decrease inventory because there is a risk of interruptions due to unreliable productivity and quality.
Answer:
The correct answer is option (c).
Explanation:
Solution
From the question sated above the answer is, Firms or organisation decrease inventory because the more we spend on inventory, the more we will need to spend on the other related inventory expenditures.
The reason is because if the inventory is kept full or complete, then the cost related or connected with the maintenance of the inventory increases or goes up and it is not beneficial for the company itself.
The true statement about inventory is that Firms decrease inventory because the more we spend on inventory, the more we need to spend on other inventory-related expenditures.

Answer:
Price of stock today = $334.56
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.
This model would be applied as follows:
Year Present Value ( PV)
1 3 × 1.3 × 1.1^(-1) = 3.5454
2 3 × 1.3^2 × 1.1^(-2) = 4.1900
3 3 × 1.3^3 × 1.1^(-3) = 4.9519

This will be done in two steps
Step 1
D× (1+g)/k-g
3 × 1.3^4/(0.1-0.08)
=428.415
Step 2
Present Value in year 0
=428.415 × 1.1^(-3) = 321.87
Total present value = 12.6874 + 321.87 = 334.56

The specifications for a plastic liner for a concrete highway project calls for thickness of 4.0 mmplus or minus0.08 mm. The standard deviation of the process is estimated to be 0.02 mm.
a) The standard deviation of the process is estimated to be 0.02 mm.
b) The upper specification limit for this product = ? mm (round your response to three decimal places).
c) The lower specification limit for this product = ? mm (round to three decimal places)
d) The process capability index (CPk) = ? (round to three decimal places)
e) The upper specification lies about ? standard deviations from the centerline (mean thickness)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
b. The upper specification limit is
= 4 + 0.08
= 4.080 mm
c. The Lower specification limit is
= 4 - 0.08
= 3.920 mm
d. The process capability index is
= min ((Upper specification limit - Mean) ÷ (3 × Standard deviation)), ((Mean - Lower specification limit)÷ (3 × Standard deviation))
= min (0.08 ÷ (3 × 0.02)), (0.08 ÷ (3 × 0.02))
= min (1.333, 1.333)
So it would be 1.333
e. Upper specification = 4.08 mm
Mean line = 4.0 mm
Now,
The upper specification lies at a distance = Upper specification - Mean line
= 4.08 mm - 4.0 mm

Assume that today is December 31, 2019, and that the following information applies to Abner Airlines: After-tax operating income [EBIT(1 - T)] for 2020 is expected to be $700 million. The depreciation expense for 2020 is expected to be $150 million. The capital expenditures for 2020 are expected to be $375 million. No change is expected in net operating working capital. The free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of 7% per year. The required return on equity is 13%. The WACC is 11%. The firm has $199 million of non-operating assets. The market value of the company's debt is $3.534 billion. 120 million shares of stock are outstanding. Using the corporate valuation model approach, what should be the company's stock price today
Answer:
The company's stock price today should be $71.17 per share.
Explanation:
The corporate valuation model approach can be used to estimate this by using the following steps:
Step 1: Calculation of the free cash flow
Free cash flow is the cash a firm generates after accounting for capital expenditure. This can be estimated using the following formula:
Free Cash Flow (FCF) = After-tax operating income + Depreciation expenses - Capital expenditure
For this question, we therefore have:
Free Cash Flow (FCF) = $700 + $150 - $375 = $475 million
Step 2: Calculation of Value of operations (Vo)
Vo = FCF / (WACC - FCF growth rate) = 475 / (11% - 7%) = $11,875 million
Step 3: Calculation of the Firm value
Firm value = Vo + Non-operating assets = $11,875 + $199 = $12,074 million
Step 4: Calculation of value of equity
Value of equity = Firm value - Debt = $12,074 - $3,534 = $8,540 million
Note: The correct amount of debt is $3,534 not $3.540 as mistakenly given, may be due to typographical error, in the question.
Step 5: Calculation of stock price per share today
Stock price per share = Value of equity / Number of shares outstanding = $8,540 / 120 = $71.17 per share
Therefore, the company's stock price today should be $71.17 per share.
