December 31 Postretirement benefit expense $3,900
APBO $3,900
Explanation:
Service cost = Ending EPBO / Attribution period
= 63,600 / 20
= $3,180
Interest cost = Beginning EPBO * Years employed / Attribution period * Interest rate
= 60,000 * 4/20 * 6%
= $720
Postretirement benefit expense = 3,180 + 720
= $3,900

Which of the following costs is most likely NOT included in a bill from the university for a college student living on campus?
Select the best answer from the choices provided.
OA. tuition
OB.
cell phone
Ос.
fees
OD. housing
Answer:
B. cell phone
Explanation:
Out of all the following costs, the most likely not to be included in a bill from the university for a college student living on campus is "Cell Phone."
This is because except a student is on full scholarship, Tuition is a must cost to be included in the bill.
Also, student fees that cover extra costs like insurance, and health care are usually included in student bills.
Similarly, the housing cost covers a hostel or off-campus accommodation for students. Hence it is also included in the student bill.
Hence, the correct answer is the cost of a "Cell phone." Which doesn't concern the school whether a student has or not.
Your firm designs PowerPoint slides for computer training classes, and you have just received a request to bid on a contract to produce the slides for an eight-session class. From previous experience, you know that your firm follows an 85 percent learning rate. For this contract, it appears the effort will be substantial, running 50 hours for the first session. Your firm bills at the rate of $100/hour and the overhead is expected to run a fixed $600 per session. The finder will pay you a flat fixed rate per session. If your nominal profit margin is 20 percent, what will be the total bid price, the per session price, and at what session will you break even
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
To figure out the total bidding price, we must first figure out the total cost of all eight sessions.
To calculate the total expense, we must first determine the total number of hours required for each of the eight sessions.
Now that we know the learning rate is 85% and the first session took 50 hours, we can look up the coefficient of 8 under 85% in the learning curve table E3 and calculate it by the time spent on the first session. The average time taken for 8 sessions with an 85 percent learning curve would be the result.
Total time taken for 8 sessions = 50 x 5.936 (coefficient of 8 under 85% learning rate) = 296.8 = 297 hrs
Fixed cost = 600 x 8 = $4800
Variable cost = 100 x 297 = $29700
Total Cost = 29700 + 4800 = $34500
Total bid price = 34500 x 1.2 = $41400 (adding 20% profit margin on cost)
Price per session = 41400 / 8 = $5175
Break Even Session = 34500 / 5175
Break Even Session = 6.67
Hence, the total cost will be covered by the 7th session.
The conclusion details as below :
To know about the total bidding prices firstly we should know about the total cost of all the session.
We should know the number of hours provided to each Session .
As we all know the learning rates is 85% and the first beginning session took 50hrs, we can look up the coefficient of 8 under 85% in the learning curve table E3 and calculate it by the time spent on the first session
Total time taken for 8 sessions = 50 x 5.936 (coefficient of 8 under 85% learning rate) = 296.8 = 297 hrs
Fixed cost = 600 x 8 = $4800
Variable cost = 100 x 297 = $29700
Total Cost = 29700 + 4800 = $34500
Total bid price = 34500 x 1.2 = $41400 (adding 20% profit margin on cost)
Price per session = 41400 / 8 = $5175
Break Even Session = 34500 / 5175
Break Even Session = 6.67
So as per the above calculation , the cost will be covered by
the 7th Session.

Given the following yield curve: One-year bonds yield 8.50%, two-year bonds yield 9.50%, three-year bonds and greater maturity bonds all yield 10.50%. All bonds are paying annual coupons of 9.50%, once a year. You strongly believe that at year-end the yield curve will be flatten around the 3 year rate. Calculate the one year total rate of return for the one-year bond.
Answer:
One year rate of return will be = 8.49%
Explanation:
Data Given:
One year bonds yield = 8.50%
Two Year Bonds Yield = 9.50%
Three Year Bonds Yield = 10.50%
Coupon = 9.50%
In this question, we are asked to calculate just one year total rate of return for the one-year bond only.
Solution:
Face value of the bond = $1000
For Current Price of One year bond, we need to use excel function.
But first multiply the coupon rate with face value i.e 0.0950 x 1000 = 95
= PV (0.0850, 1, -95, -1000)
Enter the above formula into excel to get the current price of the one year bond.
So,
= PV (0.0850, 1, 95, -1000) = $1009.22
Current Price of the bond = $1009.22
After 1 year, it will mature.
So,
Price of bond at the end of year.
So, now the excel function will be:
= PV (0.0850, 0, -95, -1000) = $1000
Price of bond at the end of year = $1000
Coupon rate = 9.50%
Coupon = 1000 x 0.0950
Coupon = 95
One year rate of return will be = (Price of the bond at the end of year + Coupon - Current price of the bond) divided by Current price of the bond.
One year rate of return will be = ($1000 + 95 - $1009.22)/$1009.22
One year rate of return will be = 0.0849 x 100
One year rate of return will be = 8.49%
Your firm is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land six years ago for $4.6 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 $5.4 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $11.2 million to build, and the site requires $713,900 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project
Answer:
the proper cash flow amount is -$17,313,900
Explanation:
The computation of the proper cash flow amount is given below:
= Land value + plant cost + grading cost
= -$5,400,000 - $11,200,000 - $713,900
= -$17,313,900
Hence, the proper cash flow amount is -$17,313,900
This year Lloyd, a single taxpayer, estimates that his tax liability will be $11,350. Last year, his total tax liability was $15,900. He estimates that his tax withholding from his employer will be $8,655. Problem 8-77 Part-a (Algo) a. How much does Lloyd need to increase his withholding by (for the year), in order to avoid the underpayment penalty
Answer:
Lloyd needs to increase his witholding tax to $1,560 this year in order to avoid the underpayment penalty .
Explanation:
As a rule, a citizen can maintain a strategic distance from an underpayment of punishment if their retention and evaluated assessment installment measure up to or surpass one of the two safe harbours
90% of current expense risk = 90% × $11,350
= $10,215
100% of past assessment risk = $15,900
Since his(Lloyd) retention is not equal to or exceed $10,215 or $15,900
Llyod should expand retaining or make payment this year in order to stay away from underpayment punishment
= $10,215 - $8,655
= $1,560

a. What will be the firm's projected earnings under each alternative for the first year?
Firm's projected earnings under short-term loan for the first year = Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Short-term interest rate in the first year) - (((Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Short-term interest rate in the first year)) * Tax rate) = $1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 8%) - ((($1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 8%)) * 30%) = $490,000
Firm's projected earnings under long-term loan for the first year = Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Long-term interest rate in the first year) - (((Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Long-term interest rate in the first year)) * Tax rate) = $1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 10%) - ((($1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 10%)) * 30%) = $350,000
b. The financial manager expects short-term rates to rise to 11 percent in the second year. At that time long-term rates will have risen to 12%. What will be the firm's projected earnings under each alternative in the second year?
Firm's projected earnings under short-term loan for the second year = Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Short-term interest rate in the second year) - (((Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Short-term interest rate in the second year)) * Tax rate) = $1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 11%) - ((($1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 11%)) * 30%) = $280,000
Firm's projected earnings under long-term loan for the second year = Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Long-term interest rate in the second year) - (((Investment yield - (Amount Borrowed * Long-term interest rate in the second year)) * Tax rate) = $1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 12%) - ((($1,500,000 - ($10,000,000 * 12%)) * 30%) = $210,000
c. What are the crucial considerations when selecting between short- and long-term sources of finance?
The crucial considerations when selecting between short- and long-term sources of finance include repayment terms, security available, the total cost of borrowing, business risk, the current capital gearing of the business, and among others.

Explanation:
Chemco Enterprises is the manufacturer of Ultra-Dry, a hydrophobic coating that will waterproof anything. Over a 5-year period, the costs associ-ated with the pilot test product line were as fol-lows: first cost of $30,000 and annual costs of $18,000. Annual revenue was $27,000 and used equipment was salvaged for $4000. What rate of return did the company make on this product
Answer:
Chemco Enterprises
The rate of return that the company made on this product is:
= 15.83%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Project duration = 5 years
Initial Cost = $30,000
Total Annual costs = 90,000 ($18,000 * 5)
Total costs $120,000
Total Annual revenue = $135,000 ($27,000 * 5)
Salvage value = 4,000
Total revenue = $139,000
Return = $19,000 ($139,000 - $120,000)
Rate of return = $19,000/$120,000 * 100) = 15.83%
b) The rate of return compares the gain from an investment or a product with the costs of the investment. The resulting figure is then expressed as a percentage.
A project has expected sales of 15,000 units, plus or minus 4 percent, variable cost per unit of $120 plus or minus 3 percent, fixed costs of $311,000plus or minus 2 percent, and a sales price per unit of $168 plus or minus 2 percent. The depreciation expense is $74,000 and the tax rate is 35 percent. What is the contribution margin per unit for a sensitivity analysis using a variable cost per unit of $122
Answer:
$46
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the contribution margin per unit for a sensitivity analysis using a variable cost per unit of $122
Sales price per unit of $168
Less variable cost per unit ($122)
Contribution margin per unit $46
(168-$122)
Therefore the the contribution margin per unit for a sensitivity analysis using a variable cost per unit of $122 will be $46

A company has two departments, Y and Z that incur wage expenses. An analysis of the total wage expense of $24,000 indicates that Dept. Y had a direct wage expense of $3,000 and Dept. Z had a direct wage expense of $5,000. The remaining expenses are indirect and analysis indicates they should be allocated evenly between the two departments. Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:
Answer:
$11,000;$13,000
Explanation:
Calculation for Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:
First step is to calculate the Indirect wages
Indirect wages = 24,000 - (3000+5000)
Indirect wages= 16,000
Now let calculate Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively,
Departmental wages for dept Y
= 3000 + (16,000/2)
Departmental wages for dept Y=$ 11,000
Departmental wages for dept Z
= 5000 + (16,000/2)
Departmental wages for dept Z= $13,000
Therefore Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:$11,000 ; $13,000

Item 12 A production department's output for the most recent month consisted of 10,500 units completed and transferred to the next stage of production and 10,500 units in ending Work in Process inventory. The units in ending Work in Process inventory were 60% complete with respect to both direct materials and conversion costs. There were 1,100 units in beginning Work in Process inventory, and they were 80% complete with respect to both direct materials and conversion costs. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the month, assuming the company uses the weighted average method.
Answer:
Total equivalent units= 16,800
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 1,100 units 80% complete
Units produced= 10,500 units
Ending WIP= 10,500 60% complete
The weighted average method blends the costs and units of the previous period with the costs and units of the current period.
Beginning inventory= 0
Units completed in the period= 100%
Ending inventory WIP= units*completion
In this exercise:
Beginning inventory= 0
Units completed in the period= 10,500
Ending inventory WIP= 10,500*0.6
Total equivalent units= 16,800

The Department may choose to grant an exception to the examination requirement under certain circumstances. Which of the following situations would probably NOT be considered for an exemption?
Available options are:
A salesperson who has held a valid license within the last 3 years
A broker who surrendered his broker license and has been employed as a salesperson since the surrender
A broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago
A broker associate who held a broker associate license two years ago
Answer:
A broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago
Explanation:
The Department may choose to grant an exception to the examination requirement under certain circumstances except "a broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago."
This is because in the United States, for the real estate brokers to renew a license they need to undergo an examination as part of the requirements. However, they may be granted an exception under specific situations such as
1. When they still hold a valid license within the last 3 years
2. When they hold broker associate valid license within the last two years
3. When they are now into salesperson employment.
Hence, considering the available options, the correct answer is "A broker associate who had a valid salesperson license five years ago."
A local grocery store buys USDA A grade pork at the wholesale price of $4 per pound and sells at the retail price of $7 per pound. The grocery store orders once per week. There is no chance to reorder during the week. The meat is good to be sold for one week. Unsold meat have to be dumped (Throw away to regular trash bin is not acceptable, it is hazardous material) at the cost of $0.5 per pound. The weekly demand is uncertain and has a discrete distribution:______.
Demand Probability 300 0.25 400 0.25 500 0.25 600 0.254
How many pounds of meat should be order per week? What is the expected weekly profit?
Answer:
$1,012.5
Explanation:
Cu = Retail price - Wholesale price = $7 - $4 = $3
Co = Wholesale price + Dumping cost = $4 + $0.5 = $4.5
Critical ratio = Cu/(Cu+Co) = 3/(3+4.5) = 0.4
Demand Probability Cumulative probability
300 0.25 0.25
400 0.25 0.50
500 0.25 0.75
600 0.25 1.00
Corresponding demand is 400. Optimal order quantity = 400 pounds
Expected demand = 300*0.25+400*0.25+500*0.25+600*0.25
Expected demand = 450 pounds
Expected shortage = (500-400)*0.25+(600-400)*0.25
Expected shortage = 75
Expected sales = Expected demand - Expected shortage
Expected sales = 450 - 75
Expected sales = 375 pounds
Expected inventory = Order quantity - Expected sales
Expected inventory = 400 - 375
Expected inventory = 25 pounds
Expected weekly profit = Expected sales * Cu - Expected inventory * Co
Expected weekly profit = 375*3 - 25*4.5
Expected weekly profit = $1,012.5

The premium liability at December 31, 2015 is?
Answer: $108875
Explanation:
First, we calculate the Premium liability at December 31, 2020 which will be:
= (480,000 × 45%) - $110,000/8 × 4
= (216000 - 110000)/8 × 4.
= $53000.
Premium liability at December 31, 2021 will be:
= 53000 + [(620000 × 45%) - $130,000]/8 × 3
= 53000 + 55875
= $108875
