Answer:
Part 1
Option b, Standard Asphalt as it will cost less per person as compared to the Gold Asphalt.
Part 2
Option B, Standard Asphalt as it will cost less per person as compared to the Gold Asphalt
Explanation:
Given
Total Population of the nation = 4363963
Total population of the state of OZ = 1255
The cost per person if the national government pays for gold asphalt = $8623195/4363963 = 1.976 dollars per person
The cost per person if the state of Oz pays for gold asphalt =
$ 8623195/1255= $6871 per person
The cost per person if the state of Oz pays for standard asphalt =
$163403/1255 = $130 per person
Part 1
Option b, Standard Asphalt as it will cost less per person as compared to the Gold Asphalt.
Part 2
Option B, Standard Asphalt as it will cost less per person as compared to the Gold Asphalt
Autoliv produces air bag systems that it sells to automobile manufacturers throughout the world. Assume the company has a capacity of 50 million units per year, it is currently producing at an annual rate of 40 million units. Autoliv has received an order from a Japanese manufacturer to purchase 100,000 units at $65 each. Budgeted costs for 40 million and 45 million units are as follows:
(in thousands, except costs per unit) 40 Million Units 45 Million Units
Manufacturing costs
Direct materials $ 560,000 $ 630,000
Direct labor 220,000 247,500
Factory overhead 1,780,000 1,822,500
Total 2,560,000 2,700,000
Selling and administrative 1,120,000 1,125,000
Total $ 3,680,000 $ 3,825,000
Costs per unit
Manufacturing $ 64.00 $ 60.00
Selling and administrative 28.00 25.00
Total $ 92.00 $ 85.00
Sales to auto manufacturers are priced at $120 per unit, but the sales manager believes the company should aggressively seek the Japanese business even if it results in a loss of $20 per unit. She believes obtaining this order would open up several new markets for the company's product. The general manager commented that the company cannot tighten its belt to absorb the $2,000,000 loss ($20 × 100,000) it would incur if the order is accepted.
(a) Determine the financial implications of accepting the order. (Hint: Use the high-low method to determine variable costs per unit.)
Accepting the offer will Answerdecreaseincrease
profits by $________
(b) How would your analysis differ if the company were operating at capacity? Determine the advantage or disadvantage of accepting the order under full-capacity circumstances.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The variable cost per unit will be:
= (3,825,000 - 3,680,000) / (45million - 40 million)
= 0.029
Then, the financial order of accepting the order will be:
Contribution margin = Unit selling price - Unit
= 65 - 29
= 36
Since the size of the order is 100,000, the financial impact of accepting the order will be:
= 36 × 100,000
= 3,600,000
b. The differential analysis will be:
Contribution from special order = 3,600,000
Opportunity cost {100,000 = 120,000,000 - 29,000,000 = 9,100,000
Net disadvantage of accepting order will then be:
= 3600000 - 9100000
= 5,500,000
Metlock Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Metlock also provides installation service for the windows. The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Metlock enters into the following contract on July 1, 2020, with a local homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,280 and chooses Metlock to do the installation. Metlock charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of $630. The customer pays Metlock $1,980 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of $1,140) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2020, Metlock completes installation on October 15, 2020, and the customer pays the balance due.

The master budget of Marigold Corp. shows that the planned activity level for next year is expected to be 50000 machine hours. At this level of activity, the following manufacturing overhead costs are expected:
Indirect labor $800000
Machine supplies 250000
Indirect materials 250000
Depreciation on factory building 70000
Total manufacturing overhead $1370000
A flexible budget for a level of activity of 60000 machine hours would show total manufacturing overhead costs of :_________.
a. $1630000
b. $1370000.
c. $1644000.
d. $1574000.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
First, we need to separate the fixed costs and calculate the unitary variable costs:
Fixed costs:
Depreciation on factory building= 70,000
Total unitary varaible cost:
Total cost= 800,000 + 250,000 + 250,000= $1,300,000
Unitary cost per hour= 1,300,000 / 50,000= $26
Now, the total cost for 60,000 hours:
Total cost= 26*60,000 + 70,000
Total cost= $1,630,000

(a)
Purchase price of Land $1,101,100
Add: Fair value of restoration $112,500
Less: residual value -$125,000
Developmental costs $250,000
Total $1,388,600
Divided by Tons available for mining 58,200
Per unit Material cost $23.00
(b) Inventory $178,480 (29100 - 21340) × $23
(c ) Cost of goods sold $490,820 (21340 × $23)

At the beginning of June, 6,000 diamonds were in process. During June, an additional 9,000 diamonds were started. 7,000 diamonds were completed and transferred to finished goods. As of the beginning of the month, work in process was 80% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. As of the end of the month, work in process was 50% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion costs. Calculate the equivalent units of direct labor for June.
Answer:
9,400 units
Explanation:
Equivalent units are physical units expressed as a percentage of work done on then. In this case we express the physical outputs as percentage of direct labor.
Step 1: Ending Work in Process units calculation :
Ending Work in Process units = 6,000 + 9,000 - 7,000
= 8,000
Step 2 : Equivalent units of direct labor for June calculation:
Completed and transferred (7,000 x 100%) 7,000
Ending Work in Process (8,000 x 30%) 2,400
Equivalent units of production 9,400
Superior has provided the following information for its recent year of operation: The common stock account balance at the beginning of the year was $11,000 and the year-end balance was $15,500. The additional paid-in capital account balance increased $3,600 during the year. The retained earnings balance at the beginning of the year was $65,000 and the year-end balance was $90,000. Net income was $37,000. How much were Superior's dividend declarations during its recent year of operation
Answer:
$12,000
Explanation:
Given the above information, we will apply the formula below:
The ending balance of retained earnings = Beginning balance of retained earnings + Net income - Dividend paid
$90,000 = $65,000 + $37,000 - Dividend paid
Dividend paid = $65,000 + $37,000 - $90,000
Dividend paid = $12,000
Therefore, the above balance of $12,000 would be displayed in the retained earnings statment
g Other things equal, an improvement in the expected rate of net profit would Multiple Choice reduce the price level and unemployment. decrease the interest rate and cause aggregate demand to increase. increase consumption and net exports, causing aggregate demand to shift rightward. increase investment spending, real GDP, and the price level.
Answer:
Other things equal, an improvement in the expected rate of net profit would
increase investment spending, real GDP, and the price level.
Explanation:
When the net profit or income improves, the ability of entities to increase their investment spending is enhanced dramatically. The cascading effect improves the real GDP as more investments are made to take advantage of the increased profit rate. Overall, the price level will also increase with increased aggregate demand, coupled with improved investment, employment rate, and improvements in other market indices.
GDP is the Gross Domestic Product is the measurement tool of the market or the economy. It is for all the final goods and services being provided to the final consumer of the goods or services.
When other things are equal then if there is an improvement in the expected rate of net profit then it would also increase the investment spending, the real GDP, and the price level.
Due to the increase in the net profit or the net income of the business, then the ability of the entity towards its investment spending is also enhanced. This is the cascading effect that will also impact the improvement in the real GDP, this is because more investments are made by the entity to take advantage of the increased profit margin rate. This will substantially increase the price level of the goods or services.

The following information relates to the only product sold by Harper Company. Sales price per unit $ 45 Variable cost per unit 27 Fixed costs per year 247,000 a. Compute the contribution margin ratio and the dollar sales volume required to break even. b. Assuming that the company sells 20,000 units during the current year, compute the margin of safety (in dollars).
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
a.
For Contribution Margin ratio
We know that
Contribution margin per unit = Sale price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $45 - $27
= $18
Now
Contribution margin ratio = Contibution Margin per unit ÷ Sale price per unit
= $18 ÷ $45
= 0.4
Now
Break even sales dollar
Break even sales = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= $247,000 ÷ 0.4
= $617,500
b.
For Margin of Safety
The Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break Even Sales
where,
Actual sales(in $) = 20000 × 45
= $900,000
So, Margin of safety is
= $900,000 - $617,500
= $282,500
Suppose you are thinking of starting your own small business. Consider how your accounting profit is different than your economic profit.
1. Accounting profit is different than economic profit because:
a. economic profit is only important to economists and does not apply to the actual decision to launch a new business.
b. accounting profit includes all financial and opportunity costs of starting a business.
c. economic profit is what is reported on your tax return.
d. accounting profit ignores the opportunity cost of launching a new business
2. b. After doing your research, you are confident that you will make an accounting profit if you launch the business but feel it is very unlikely that you will make an economic profit. In this case, you__________ start the business.
Answer:
d
should
Explanation:
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
Total revenue =price x quantity sold
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business.
They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
A company should still continue its operations if only economic profit would be earned. This is because in some industries, in the long run, economic profit cannot be earned. For example, in perfect competition
if the company chooses the lease option, it will have to pay an immediate deposit of 25000 to cover any future damages to the equipment. deposit is refundable at the end of the lease term. the annual lease payments are made at the end of each year. based on a net present value analysis with a discount rate of 20% what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying the equipment rather than leasing it
Answer:
The answer is "68,788".
Explanation:
Net cash flow present value = immediate deposit + Annual lease payment present value
[tex]= 25000+(18000\times 2.991)-25000\times 0.402[/tex]
Net cash flow present value [tex]= 78838-10050 = 68788[/tex]
Eagle Company uses a standard cost system that has provided the following data: Units of output manufactured 90 Direct labor Standard hours allowed 2 hours per unit of product Standard wage rate $ 15.60 per hour Actual direct labor 200 hours, total cost of $3,520 The direct labor rate variance for the period was: Multiple Choice $712 favorable. $400 favorable. $400 unfavorable. $712 unfavorable.\
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $400 unfavorable
Explanation:
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (15.6 - 17.6)*200
Direct labor rate variance= $400 unfavorable
Actual rate= 3,520 / 200= $17.6

Assume straight line depreciation method is used. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Project 1: Retooling Manufacturing Facility This project would require an initial investment of $4,850,000. It would generate $865,000 in additional net cash flow each year. The new machinery has a useful life of eight years and a salvage value of $1,000,000.
Project 2: Purchase Patent for New Product The patent would cost $3,400,000, which would be fully amortized over five years. Production of this product would generate $425,000 additional annual net income for Hearne.
Project 3: Purchase a New Fleet of Delivery Trucks Hearne could purchase 25 new delivery trucks at a cost of $115,000 each. The fleet would have a useful life of 10 years, and each truck would have a salvage value of $5,000. Purchasing the fleet would allow Hearne to expand its customer territory resulting in $200,000 of additional net income per year.

Key Calculation Formulas:
Annual cash flows = Annual Depreciation Plus Annual Net Income
Present of annual cash flows = Annuity factor * Annual cash flows
PV of Salvage value = Salvage value * Discount Factor
The Depreciable or Amortization amount = Initial investment cost Minus Salvage value
Annual Returns = Annual Cash inflow Minus Depreciation
Average annual investment cost = Initial investment cost/useful life
Accounting rate of return = average annual returns/average annual investment cost
Payback period = Initial investment/Annual cash inflows
Total PV of cash flows = PV of annual cash inflows + PV of Salvage value
NPV = Total PV of cash flows Minus Initial Investment Cost
Profitability Index = Total PV of cash flows/Initial Investment Cost

Waldo Company has been approached about providing a new service to its clients. The company will bill clients $160 per hour; the related hourly variable and fixed operating costs will be $70 and $24, respectively. If all employees are currently working at full capacity on other client matters, the per-hour opportunity cost of being unable to provide this new service is:
Answer:
$90 per hour
Explanation:
Opportunity cost means the benefit one have forgone, for choosing another alternative. Opportunity cost of being unable to provide new service = Billing price - Variable cost per hour. Here, fixed cost is not considered because it will be incurred irrespective of the capacity of working.
So, Opportunity cost = $160 - $70 = $90 per hour
Which of the following is a firm's cash cycle?
a. the average length of time between when a firm originally purchases its inventory and when it receives the cash back from selling its product
b. the average length of time between when a firm pays cash to purchase its initial inventory and when it receives cash from the sale of the product produced from that inventory
c. the average length of time between when a firm pays cash to purchase its initial inventory and when it sells that product
d. the average length of time between when a firm originally purchases its inventory and when it sells the product produced from that inventory
Answer:
he average length of time between when a firm pays cash to purchase its initial inventory and when it receives cash from the sale of the product produced from that inventory
Explanation:
A firm's cash cycle measure the time required for a company to go from cash paid (used in its operations) to cash received (as a result of operations)
It is an example of a liquidity ratio
Liquidity ratios measure the ability of a firm to meet its short term obligations
Cash cycle = days of inventory on hand + days of sales outstanding - number of days of payable
the shorter the cash cycle, the more liquid the firm is and the better for the firm
You are being asked to consider selling one of your regional divisions to a private equity company. The private equity company has just offered you $1.2 million for the regional division. The division is expected to provide your company net annual cash flows of $175,000 for each of the next 10 years without you having to make any additional investments in the division. Your team has calculated information to help you make your decision, as follows.
A) Your company's WACC is 7.9%
B) Your hurdle rate for this potential sale is 11.2%
C) The Net Present Value of this opportunity to your company using WACC as your discount rate is (-$20,420.78)
D) The likely Net Present Value of the division to the private equity company following the sale is $13,776.23
Which of the following answers is correct given the information provided above?
1) The IRR of the project to your company is between 7.9% and 11.2%
2) The hurdle rate for the private equity company is higher than the hurdle rate for your company
3) The IRR of the project to your company is below 7.9%
4) None of the Above
Answer:
3) The IRR of the project to your company is below 7.9%
Explanation:
As we can see in the question that at 7.9% wacc, the net present value is -$20,420.78
Since the net present value is in negative that shows that the internal rate of return would be less than 7.9%
So according to the given situation, the option 3 is correct
And, the same is to be considered
The IRR of the project to your company is below 7.9% as when the NPV is negative, IRR should be less than the weighted average cost of capital.
What is IRR?
IRR can be defined as the rate of discount at which the present value of cash flows is equal to the present value of the cash outflows.
When the net present value (NPV) is negative, it means that the discounted cash flows are less than the original investment. Furthermore, the discount rate used exceeds the IRR.
When IRR = Cost of capital, NPV is zero; nevertheless, because NPV is negative, IRR must be less than the weighted average cost of capital.
Hence, Option 3. is the correct answer; The IRR of the project to your company is below 7.9%.

The currency in Macroland is called econs. In Macroland, the public holds 2,000 econs in currency; commercial bank reserves are 300 econs; and the desired reserve-to-deposit ratio of the commercial banks is 10%. If the Central Bank of Macroland prints an additional 200 econs and uses this new currency to buy government bonds from the public, the money supply in Macroland will ____, assuming that the public does not wish to change the amount of currency it holds from before.
Answer:
D)5,000; 7,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The total bank deposit would be
= (300 ÷ 0.10) + 2,000
= 3,000 + 2,000
= 5,000
In the case when the reserve ratio is 10% so the money multiplier would be 10
Since there is extra inflow of currency so by having the multiplier effect it would be 2000 econs
Now first it is 5,000 econ than it would become 7,000 econ
If there is an additional inflow of currency because of printing 200 econs by central bank then because of multiplier effect it will be 2000 econs.
Money supply from earlier 5000 econs will become 7000 econs.
The ABC Company has recognized the following demand for the next four quarters:
Quarter Demand
1 3000 units
2 4000 units
3 4500 units
4 3500 units
ABC has traditionally used the hiring and firing of workers to accommodate the changes in demand for their products but is considering maintaining a stable workforce and subcontracting production when demand exceeds the capability of the workforce. They currently have 30 workers, each capable of producing 100 units per quarter. It costs them $3000 to hire a worker and $5000 to fire a worker.
If they subcontract the work, it will cost them $30 per unit above their normal production cost. Given this information, should they continue their current practice or move to subcontracting the production over what their current workforce can produce?
Answer: Subcontracting production
Explanation:
It is cheaper for ABC Company to subcontract the jobs than to hire and fire workers as needed. Even though the cost is similar when it comes to hiring permanent workers and training them vs subcontracting them, when the company needs to produce less goods, the cost of firing the permanent employees is simply too much.
For instance, 1,000 units out of the 4,000 units in the second quarter cannot be covered by the 30 workers they have. They will need to hire 10 additional workers and training them would cost $30,000. That is the same cost they would incur if they subcontracted (30 * 1,000 units = $30,000).
What happens in quarter 4 however, when they have to let go of 10 employees because production dropped by 1,000 units? They will have to pay $50,000. If they were subcontracting, they would not have to pay a dime. It is therefore better to subcontract.
