Answer:
If its marginal tax rate is 25%, Holmes' after-tax cost of debt is 8.25%
Explanation:
In order to calculate Holmes' after-tax cost of debt If its marginal tax rate is 25% we would have to calculate the following formula:
After-tax cost of debt =yield to maturity*(1-marginal tax rate)
According to the given data we have the following:
yield to maturity=11%
marginal tax rate=25%
Therefore, After-tax cost of debt =11%*(1-0.25)
After-tax cost of debt =8.25%
If its marginal tax rate is 25%, Holmes' after-tax cost of debt is 8.25%
On October 1, 2022, Sheridan Company places a new asset into service. The cost of the asset is $81000 with an estimated 5-year life and $21000 salvage value at the end of its useful life. What is the depreciation expense for 2022 if Sheridan Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation
Answer:
the depreciation expense for 2022 is $3,000
Explanation:
Straight line method of depreciation charges a fixed amount of depreciation over the period of use of an asset.
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Residual Value) / Number of useful life
= ($81000 - $21000) / 5
= $12,000
The Annual depreciation charge for this machine will be $12,000 for each of the years that it is used in the business.
However since it was paced in use during the year that is 1 October, we have to apportion the Annual charge withe number of months that its has been in use during 2022.
It has been used for 3 months thus depreciation charge is :
Depreciation = 3/ 12 × $12,000
= $3,000
Motorcycle Manufacturers, Inc., projected sales of 51,500 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 6,000 units, and the desired December 31 inventory is 7,410 units. The budgeted production for the year is:________
Answer:
Budgeted Production = 52910 units
Explanation:
The budgeted production should be enough to meet the yearly sales requirement plus provide enough inventory at the year end to cover for the required level of desired inventory. The opening inventory at the start of the year should be deducted to calculate the budgeted production.
Budgeted production = Sales + Closing Inventory - Opening Inventory
Budgeted Production = 51500 + 7410 - 6000
Budgeted Production = 52910 units

Answer:
a. $ 9,000,000
b.
Depletion Expense $ 9,000,000 (debit)
Accumulated Depletion $ 9,000,000 (credit)
Explanation:
The depletion expense is calculated using the formula :
Depletion expense = Cost of Asset / Estimated total contents in units × Number of units taken in the period
= $67,500,000 / 30,000,000 tons × 4,000,000 tons
= $ 9,000,000
The entry to recognize the depletion expense will be :
Depletion Expense $ 9,000,000 (debit)
Accumulated Depletion $ 9,000,000 (credit)
Edison has just paid an annual dividend of $3 per share. If the expected growth rate for Con Ed is 10%, and your required rate of return is 16%, how much are you willing to pay for this stock
Answer:
$55 per share
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the dividend discount model (DDM) formula as follows:
P = D1/(r - g) ............................ (1)
Where,
P = Current stock price or the amount you are willing to pay today
D1 = Next dividend = Current dividend * (1 + Growth rate) = $3 * (1 + 0.10) = $3.30
r = required return = 16%. or 0.16
g = growth rate = 10% = 0.10
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
P = $3.30 / (0.16 - 0.10) = $55 per share
Therefore, you are willing to pay $55 per share for this stock.
During her lifetime, Betty accumulated a large quantity of registered gold coins totaling over $500,000 in value. Betty began to see the sun setting in the waning years of her life and began making plans to dispose of her assets among her beloved children. Part of her plans was to give her collection of coins to her favorite son, Carlos, who at the time was performing mission work deep in the jungles of South America. Betty executed and filed a registration of transfer of the coin collection to Carlos. She then attempted to contact Carlos on his satellite phone and called his last known location to advise him of the transfer, but she was unable to contact him. The best she could do was to leave Carlos multiple messages. One month later, Betty passed away without ever hearing from Carlos. Betty's will was read, and it was discovered that the language in the will bequeathed all of her coins to her daughter, Carey. Carey took possession of the registered gold coins. If you were Carlos, how would you convince Carey to give you the coins after returning from your trip
Answer:
Show the messages sent by Betty to me before her death
Explanation:
In law, believable evidence could take several forms which includes providing a written "proof of intent". Carlos can argue that the messages received from Betty explicitly shows are wishes–that he receives a collection of her coins, thus the transfer of ownership was implicitly binding.
Carey's reading of the multiple messages evidently provides convincing evidence that she has not fulfilled the will of her death mother, thus Carlos can use her emotional attachment of fulfilling mother's wishes by pressurising her to give him the coins.
Carlos can convince Carey to give him the coins after returning from trip by
showing her the multiple messages sent from Betty and confirming with
the appropriate authority.
What is Registration of transfer?Thus is a document which confirms that an asset or property has been
transferred to a new owner.
In this scenario, she was unable to reach him but left messages which is an
evidence about the transfer of the coins. The appropriate authority should
also be contacted to confirm if the transfer of the coins was appropriately
done.

Lake Erie Company uses a plantwide overhead rate with machine hours as the allocation base. Next year, 700,000 units are expected to be produced taking 0.75 machine hours each. How much overhead will be assigned to each unit produced given the following estimated amounts?
Estimated: Department 1 Department 2
Manufacturing overhead costs $3,141,500 $1,571,000
Direct labor hours 167,000 DLH 267,000 DLH
Machine hours 267,000 MH 192,000 MH
a. $10.86 per unit
b. $8.73 per unit
c. $4.22 per unit
d. $11.77 per unit
e. $10 per unit
Answer:
$7.70 per unit
Explanation:
For computing the overhead rate per unit we first need to compute the estimated amount which is as follows
Total manufacturing cost
= Department 1 + department 2
= $31,41,500.00 + $15,71,000.00
= $47,12,500.00
Total machine hours
= Department 1 + department 2
= 267,000 MH + 192,000 MH
= 459000 MH
Now predetermined overhead rate is
= Total manufacturing cost ÷ Total machine hours
= $4,712,500 ÷ 459,000 MHs
= $10.27 per MH
Now overhead per unit is
= Pre-determined overhead rate per MH × Machine Hours required per unit
= $10.27 per MH × 0.75 MHs per unit
= $7.70 per unit
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
Coronado Industries acquired a tract of land containing an extractable natural resource. Coronado is required by its purchase contract to restore the land to a condition suitable for recreational use after it has extracted the natural resource. Geological surveys estimate that the recoverable reserves will be 2560000 tons, and that the land will have a value of $1080000 after restoration. Relevant cost information follows: Land $7420000 Estimated restoration costs 1480000 If Coronado maintains no inventories of extracted material, what should be the charge to depletion expense per ton of extracted material
Answer:
Depletion expenses per cost is $3.06
Explanation:
Geological surveys estimate that the recoverable reserves will be $2,560,000 tons, and that the land will have a value of $1,080,000 after restoration
The cost of the Land is $7,420,000 and the Estimated restoration costs is $1,480,000.
Therefore we will calculate the total cost.
Total Asset cost=$7,420,000 +$1,480,000
Total Asset cost=$8,900,000
The depletion expenses of Coronado Industries is:
Depletion expenses per cost= (Asset cost - Residual value) / Number of unit of depletion
Depletion expenses per cost = ($8,900,000 - $1,080,000) / $2,560,000
Depletion expenses per cost = 7820000/2560000
Depletion expenses per cost = 3.0546875
Depletion expenses per cost = $3.06

Crane Company incurs these expenditures in purchasing a truck: cash price $23,030, accident insurance (during use) $1,690, sales taxes $1,380, motor vehicle license $670, and painting and lettering $2,140. What is the cost of the truck
Answer:
$27,220
Explanation:
Cost of the truck includes : Cash price + sales tax + motor vehicle license + painting and lettering
accident insurance would not be added because its a revenue expenditure as it will reoccur after a year.
$23,030 + $670 + $2,140 + $1,380 = $27,220
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
$27,220
Explanation:
From the question above Crane company incurs the following expenditures in purchasing a truck
Cash price = $23,030
Accident insurance during use= $1,690
Sales tax= $1,380
Motor vehicle license= $670
Painting and lettering= $2,140
Therefore, the cost of the truck can be calculated as follows
= $23,030+$1,380+$670+$2,140
= $27,220
The accident insurance is not added to find the cost of the truck because it doesn't add any value and can happen again the following year.
Hence the cost of the truck is $27,220
The campground will make the most economic profit whenit has property rights to a clean lake . True or False: The fish cannery will use the recycling method, regardless of who has the property rights. True False
Answer:
hi your question is incomplete here is the complete question
Consider a lake found in the town of Center Barnstead,
The town has a campground whose visitors use the lake for recreation. The town also has a fish cannery that dumps industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the fish cannery's waste decreases the campground's economic profit.
Suppose that the fish cannery could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the campground would no longer be affected. If the fish cannery uses the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $1,500 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,800 per week. If the fish cannery does not use the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $2,000 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,000 per week. These figures are summarized in the following table.
Action
Profit
Fish Cannery
Campground
Total
(Dollars)
(Dollars)
(Dollars)
No Recycling 2,000 1,000
Recycling 1,500 1,800
Total economic profit is highest when the recycling production method is .
When the fish cannery uses the recycling method, the campground earns $1,800−$1,000=$800$1,800−$1,000=$800 more per week than it does with no recycling. Therefore, the campground should be willing to pay up to $800 per week for the fish cannery to recycle water. However, the recycling method decreases the fish cannery's economic profit by $2,000−$1,500=$500$2,000−$1,500=$500 per week. Therefore, the fish cannery should be willing to use the recycling method if it is compensated with at least $500 per week.
Suppose the campground has the property rights to the lake. That is, the campground has the right to a clean (unpolluted) lake. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the fish cannery will the recycling method and will pay the campground per week.
Now, suppose the fish cannery has the property rights to the lake, including the right to pollute it. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the fish cannery will the recycling method, and the campground will pay the fish cannery per week.
ANSWER
TrueTrueExplanation:
The campground will make the most economic profit when it has property rights to a clean lake : True. this is true because the Fish cannery will be using the recycling method and from the table it is seen that when the recycling method is used The Campground make the most economic profit
The fish cannery will use the recycling method regardless of who has the property right : TRUE . this is because the Fish cannery will use the recycling method anyways because the recycling method would not pollute the water hence not interfering with the campground activities in case they own the property rights.
Under which conditions would a plant manager elect to use a fixed-order quantity model as opposed to a fixed-time period model? What are the disadvantages of using a fixed-time period ordering system?
Answer: The answers are provided below
Explanation:
The fixed order quantity system is an arrangement whereby the inventory level is typically continuously monitored and also the replenishment stock is ordered based on the previously-fixed quantities while for a fixed time period model, the inventory levels are checked on regular basis for the items e.g every week.
A plant manager may elect to use a fixed-order quantity model as opposed to a fixed-time period model when the holding cost is much higher. Typically, fixed order quantity model is typically used for the costly items.
The disadvantages of using a fixed-time period ordering system are:
i. It doesn't consider market structure changes
ii. There should be a high level of inventory in order to avoid stock out.
iii. It leads to rigidity in the system as it makes the decision on time period complex when there's need for urgency.
Green Company is planning to introduce a new product with a 75 percent incremental unit-time learning curve for production in batches of 1,500 units. The variable labor costs are $55 per unit for the first 1,500-unit batch. Each batch requires 200 hours. There are $15,000 in fixed costs not subject to learning. What is the cumulative total time (labor hours) to produce 3,000 units
Answer:
210 hours
Explanation:
The learning curve rate can be found by log75%
Ln0.75 = 0.12249
1 batch requires 200 hours
The 1500 units batch will require 200 hours
For 3000 units there will be two batches of 1500 units each
200 hours * 2 batches * 0.12249 * 4.5 = 210 hours

C&A sells 600 bottles of a dietary supplement per week at $100 per bottle. The supplement is ordered from a supplier who charges C&A $30 per order and $50 per bottle. C&A's annual holding cost percentage is 40%. Assume C&A operates 50 weeks in a year. What is C&A's total ordering and holding cost per year if C&A orders 500 bottles at a time?
Answer: $6,800
Explanation:
The following can be deduced based on the information above:
The annual requirement will be the weekly demand multiplied by the number of operational weeks. This will be:
= 600 x 50
= 30,000 Bottles
Then, the number of orders will be the annual demand divided by the order size. This will be:
= 30,000 ÷ 500
= 60
Then, we calculate the ordering cost which will be the number of orders multiplied by the ordering cost per order. This will be:
= 60 x $30
= $1,800
The average inventory will be the lot size divided by 2. This will be:
= 500 / 2
= 250 Bottles
Then, the holding cost per unit will be the price multiplied by the percentage of the holding cost. This will be:
= $50 x 40%
= $50 × 0.4
= $20 per unit
Holding cost of thenverage inventory will be the average inventory multiplied by the holding cost per unit. This will be:
= 250 x $20
= $5,000
Therefore, C&A's total ordering and holding cost per year if C&A orders 500 bottles at a time will be:
= $1,800 + $5,000
= $6,800
ABC stock is currently trading at an all-time high price of $150 per share. Your client contacts you about the stock, stating that he believes that the stock is ripe for a sell off after its next quarterly news announcement. He has $10,000 to use for a trade, but does not want to lose more than this amount. The BEST recommendation to the client is to:
Answer:
Buy ABC Puts
Explanation:
Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the best recommendation to the client is to Buy ABC Puts. This is mainly due to the fact that the client specifically stated that he does not want to lose more than this investment. Therefore Puts are the best option since they are purchased as a speculation on a market price decline, and the customer can only lose the premium paid if the market does the opposite and ends up rising. While other options like shorting or selling can lead to unlimited loss potential.

I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate the project's NPV, IRR and MIRR.
a. Calculate the project's NPV and IRR where the discount rate is 11 percent. Is the project a worthwhile investment based on these two measures? Why or why not?
NPV = -$7,895,194IRR = 0.09%Since the NPV is negative, the company should not invest in this project.b. Calculate the project's MIRR. Is the project a worthwhile investment based on this measure? Why or why not?
Since we are not given any financing rate nor WACC, we must assume that the company's discount rate is equal to its financing rate and WACC:
MIRR = 6.88%Since the MIRR is too low (lower than the company's WACC), the company should not invest in this project.When you calculate MIRR, you must assume that the company will invest the cash inflows at their normal WACC while the outflows are financed at a different rate.
For much of the 1990s, the U.S. economy was experiencing long-run economic growth, low unemployment, and a stable inflation rate. Which of the following would give rise to these outcomes?
Choose one:
A. an increase in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply
B. a decrease in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply
C. a decrease in aggregate demand and an increase in short-run aggregate supply
D. an increase in aggregate demand and a decrease in short-run ag
Answer: A. an increase in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply.
Explanation:
An increase in Aggregate Demand is synonymous with an increase in Economic growth as it meant that companies would try to produce more goods and services to match this demand thereby increasing the production capacity of the Economy . In order to do so however, they needed to hire more people and so the unemployment rate decreased. As more people were employed, more people were able to earn an income and then demand more goods and services which led to a sort of Economic growth cycle.
As demand for goods kept rising, so did the cost of those goods as posited by the Law of Demand and this was what led to the stable rate of inflation.
There are many distinct characteristics that classify a market as Perfectly Competitive including: Very large number of firms Homogenous products Entry and exit into the market free of barriers Perfect Information Individual firms are price takers Long run economic profits will be zero Instructions Given these characteristics of a perfectly competitive market, select one of the characteristics listed. In your post: Fully explain what that characteristic means and what its importance is to classifying a market as perfectly competitive. If you have noticed this characteristic in a certain market, explain where you have seen it before or provide your own example. Would you see the characteristic you are discussing in any of the other three market structures - monopolistic competition, oligopoly or monopoly
Answer:
Characteristics of a Perfectly Competitive Market
One of the characteristics is the presence of many firms:
In a perfectly competitive market or industry, there is a large number of small firms producing homogeneous, identical, and unbranded products. As they are small in comparison to the overall market size, no single firm is able to exert market control over the price or quantity at which the firms sell to the buyers. In such a market, all the characteristics of a perfectly competitive market are present. Buyers and sellers have perfect knowledge of the product, prices, quantity, information, and technology. Under this scenario, if one firm doubles its production or stops production entirely in order to influence the market indexes, the market remains unaffected. With this, the price remains constant. There is no scarcity or surplus. The demand curve is always in equilibrium. There is no elasticity of price, since there is no change in the price of the product. Unfortunately, there is no market that is perfectly competitive. It is only an ideal situation. A close resemblance to this market is in the market for salt, because of the relatively cheap prices of salt. But, many firms have branded their products so differently that consumers make choices, but firms have not been able to influence the market. Unfortunately, this characteristic of perfectly competitive market is not present in the other three markets: monopolistic competition, oligopoly, or monopoly given their own basic characteristics.
Explanation:
A perfectly competitive market or industry has large number of small firms, with no exit or entry barriers. There is perfect knowledge of the market so that buyers and sellers have equal access to information. The goods in such a market is so identical that firms do not brand their goods to look different from others. As earlier mentioned, this type of market exists in the ideal world. Other market types are monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly. There are practical examples of the existence of such markets in the world.

c) The temporary difference between taxes as per accounting income and taxes as per tax regulation is recorded in the books through Deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability. When accounting income is more than tax income it would imply more taxes need to be paid in future, so a deferred tax liability account is created.
d) Tax Computations: The prevalent tax rate of 40% is multiplied with the pre-tax accounting income, the pre-tax taxable income, and the temporary differences in income respectively to obtain their respective taxes. Ordinarily, the differences in the tax amounts of accounting income and taxable income is deferred tax asset/liability. The deferred tax asset and liability can still be obtained separately as we have done in this case. They give the same results.
. Nestle Co. paid $130,000 for a machine used to mill oats. The annual contribution margin from oat sales is $60,000. The machine could be sold for $80,000. The opportunity cost of producing the oats is ________. Question 20 options: $130,000 $0 $80,000 $20,000 $60,000
Answer:$80,000
Explanation:
Opportunity cost refers to an alternative forgone that is the value one could have received but declined to take the next best alternative according to his or her preference.
Here , Nestle has two choices to make, it can decide to produce oats or sell the machine, but taking the option of producing oats leaves the option of selling the machine at $80,000 as the Opportunity cost.
At December 31, Amy Jo's Appliances had account balances in Accounts Receivable of $302,000 and in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts of $640 (credit) before any adjustments. An analysis of Amy Jo's December 31 accounts receivable suggests that the allowance for uncollectible accounts should be 5% of accounts receivable. Bad debt expense for the year should be:
Answer:
$870
Explanation:
When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.
To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.
Allowance for uncollectible accounts at 5%
= 5% * $302,000
= $1,510
Since the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts was $640 (credit) before any adjustments, the bad debt expense for the year
= $1,510 - $640
= $870
On June 8, Williams Company issued an $80,000, 5%, 120-day note payable to Brown Industries. Assuming a 360-day year, what is the maturity value of the note? When required, round your answer to the nearest dollar. $84,000 $82,600 $88,200 $81,333
Answer:
$81,333
Explanation:
Williams company issued an principal of $80,000
The principal was issued at a 5% rate
The time period is 120-day payable to Brown industries.
The first step is to calculate the interest
Interest= principal × rate × time
= $80,000×0.05×(120/360)
= $80,000 × 0.05 × 0.33333
= $1,333.32
Therefore, the maturity value can be calculated as follows
Maturity value= Interest+principal
= 1,333.32+$80,000
= $81,333.2
= $81,333
Hence the maturity value on the note is $81,333
1. Because of sanctions over their involvement in Ukraine in 2014, the Bank of Russia has raised its benchmark interest rate from 8% to 9.5%. What affect does this have on the exchange rate for the Russian Rubble versus the Euro
Answer:
This would make the rubble more attractive than the euro when investing.
Explanation: The effects of this increase in interest rate, is it would make it more expensive when planning on borrowing money in Russia. Which would make the rubble more attractive than the euro from an investors or investment part, as more money can be made when euro is converted back to rubble. This would help drive up the cost of rubble.
An important application of regression analysis in accounting is in the estimation of cost. By collecting data on volume and cost and using the least squares method to develop an estimated regression equation relating volume and cost, an accountant can estimate the cost associated with a particular manufacturing volume. In the Microsoft Excel Online file below you will find a sample of production volumes and total cost data for a manufacturing operation. Conduct a regression analysis to explore the relationship between total cost and production volume and then answer the questions that follow.Production Volume Total Cost
(Units) ($)
400 4,000
450 5,000
550 5,400
600 5,900
700 6,400
750 7,000
1. Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the total cost for a given production volume.
2. What is the variable cost per unit produced
3. Compute the coefficient of determination what percentage of the variation in total cost can be explained by production volume
4. The companys production schedule shows 500 units must be produced next month what is the estimated total cost of this operation.
Answer:
(1) [tex]\text{Total Cost}=1246.67+7.60\ \text{Volume}[/tex]
(2) The variable cost per unit produced is $7.60.
(3) The coefficient of determination is 0.96 or 96%.
(4) The estimated total cost is $5,046.67.
Explanation:
A regression analysis for the provided data is performed on Microsoft Excel.
The output is attached below.
(1)
The estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the total cost for a given production volume is:
[tex]\text{Total Cost}=1246.67+7.60\ \text{Volume}[/tex]
(2)
The variable cost per unit produced is given by the slope of the line.
The slope of a regression line represent the value of the dependent variable for one unit of the independent variable.
So, the variable cost per unit produced is $7.60.
(3)
Consider the regression output attached.
The coefficient of determination is 0.96 or 96%.
This implies that the percentage of the variation in total cost that can be explained by production volume is 96%.
(4)
For Volume = 500 units predict the total cost as follows:
[tex]\text{Total Cost}=1246.67+7.60\ \text{Volume}[/tex]
[tex]=1246.67+(7.60\times 500)\\\\=1246.67+3800\\\\=5046.67[/tex]
Thus, the estimated total cost is $5,046.67.
If all you knew about a production system was that total daily output was 400 units and the total labor necessary to produce the 400 units was 350 hours, and the total materials used were 425 units, what kind of productivity measure could you use to compute productivity?
Answer:
partial measure
Explanation:
Based on the information provided it can be said that the kind of productivity measure that can be used would be a partial measure. Partial Productivity measure relates output to a single input unit. For example, capital productivity deals with output per unit of capital while energy productivity relates output per joule of energy used. In this scenario, we would need labor productivity which is output per hour worked.
The following data are taken from the financial statements of Sigmon Inc. Terms of all sales are 2/10, n/45. The reporting statement of a company is shown. A table with four columns is shown. The first column has no heading; the second columns heading is 20Y3; the third column heading is 20Y2; the third column heading is 20Y1. The headings, 20Y3, 20Y2 and 20Y1 are set in bold. The transactions listed are as follows: Accounts receivable, end of year is $ 725,000; $ 650,000 and $ 600,000; account are 5,637,500 and 4,687,500. For 20Y2 and 20Y3, determine (1) the accounts receivable turnover and (2) the number of days' sales in receivables. Round to the nearest dollar and one decimal place. Answer Check Figure: Accounts receivable turnover, 20Y3, 8.2 Pencil What conclusions can be drawn from these data concerning accounts receivable and credit policies
Answer: For 20Y3 --8.2 times, 44.5 days
For 20Y2----7.5 times 48.7 days
Explanation:
20Y3 20Y2 20Y1
Accounts receivable, end of years $ 725,000; $ 650,000 $ 600,000'
Sales on account 5,637,500 4,687,500
For 20Y3 --
Accounts receivable turnover = Net credit Sales / Average Account receivable
Net Credit sales= $5,637,500
Average Account receivable
=(End of years of yr2 and 3)/ 2=($ 725,000 +$ 650,000) /2 = $1.375,000/2= $687, 500
Accounts receivable turnover = $5,637,500/ $687,500=8.2 times
Number of days sales in receivables = 365 days / Accounts receivable turnover
= 365/8.2 = 44.5 days
For 20Y2
Accounts receivable turnover = Net credit Sales / Average Account receivable
Net Credit sales= $4,687,500
Average Account receivable
=(End of years of yr2 and 1)/2 = ($ 650,000 + $ 600,000') /2 = $/2= $625,000
Accounts receivable turnover = $4,687,500/ $625,000=7.5 times
Number of days sales in receivables = 365 days / Accounts receivable turnover
= 365/7.5= 48.7 days
b. Accounts receivable in cash owed by clients to a company from the invoices the company sent to them
Also, Credit policy is a requirement that establishes the payment terms of a company to its clients so as to eliminate the risk of loss. The credit policy differs and from company and comprises of the payment terms( the duration of time) or credit period, collections, discounts and operational standard
---->The relationship between credit policy and account receivables is that is that when a company establishes that payment terms are increased and on credit, the accounts receivables increases reducing a company''s finance. A company that establishes a decrease in the credit period duration will have a reduced account receivable providing fast financial returns to the company.
From the results obtained from 20Y3 and 20Y2, We will see that
Particulars 20Y3 20Y2 Remark
Aturnover ratio 8.2times 7.5 times Increase by 0.7 times
Number of days sales
in receiviable 44.5 days 48.7days Decrease by 4.2 days
In year 20Y3, THE higher ratio of accounts receivable turnover shows that cash for sales will more likely to be collected than a 20Y2 with a lower ratio of accounts receivable turnover.
Rubium Micro Devices currently manufactures a subassembly for its main product. The costs per unit are as follows:
Direct materials $54.00
Direct labor 35.00
Variable overhead 40.00
Fixed overhead 34.00
Total $163.00
Crayola Technologies Inc. has contacted Rubium with an offer to sell 6,000 of the subassemblies for $144.00 each. Rubium will eliminate $89,000 of fixed overhead if it accepts the proposal. Should Rubium make or buy the subassemblies? What is the difference between the two alternatives?
Answer:
If the company buys the units, income will decrease by $1,000.-
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $54.00
Direct labor 35.00
Variable overhead 40.00
Crayola Technologies Inc. has contacted Rubium with an offer to sell 6,000 of the subassemblies for $144.00 each. Rubium will eliminate $89,000 of fixed overhead if it accepts the proposal.
First, we need to determine the total cost of making the units:
Total cost= total variable costs + avoidable fixed costs
Total costs= (54 + 35 + 40)*6,000 + 89,000= $863,000
Now, the cost of buying:
Total cost= 6,000*144= $864,000
If the company buys the units, income will decrease by $1,000.-
