Answer:
The Mega-Bank
The amount allocated to the Commercial Department is:
= $324,810.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Indirect costs = $410,000
Department DLH Loans Processed Direct Costs
Consumer 16,000 650 $350,000
Commercial 7,000 400 $250,000
Total 23,000 1,050 $600,000
Allocation Bases:
Bankwide rates:
DLH = $410,000/23,000 = $17.83
Loans processed = $410,000/1,050 = $390.48
Commercial Department Allocated Costs:
Cost to process loans = $500 * 400 = $200,000
Cost based on DLH = $17.83 * 7,000 = 124,810
Total costs = $324,810
Assume you gave up a $60,000 per year job at an accounting firm to start your own tax preparation business. To simplify, assume your tax personal obligations are the same whether you run your own firm or work for another firm. If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit
Answer:
Accounting profit= $70,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit
The accounting profit does not include the opportunity cost of leaving the accounting job. In this case, the accounting profit is:
Accounting profit= revenue - costs
Accounting profit= 75,000 - 5,000
Accounting profit= $70,000

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 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, 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:
1-a. Total Contribution margin is $210,000 and Net operating income is $28,000.
1-b. Degree of Operating Leverage = 7.50
2-a. The expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year is 150%.
2-b. Expected amount of Net Operating Income is $70,000.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Magic Realm, Inc., has developed a new fantasy board game. The company sold 15,000 games last year at a selling price of $20 per game. Fixed costs associated with the game total $182,000 per year, and variable costs are $6 per game. Production of the game is entrusted to a printing contractor. Variable costs consist mostly of payments to this contractor.
Required:
1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.
1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage.
2. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption:
a. What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year?
b. What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)
Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.
The contribution format income statement for the game last year can be prepared as follows:
Magic Realm, Inc.
Contribution Income Statement
For Last Year
Details Total ($) Per Unit ($)
Sales 300,000 20
Variable cost (90,000) (6)
Contribution margin 210,000 14
Fixed expense (182,000)
Net operating income 28,000
1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage.
Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin / Operating Income = $210,000 / $28,000 = 7.50
2-a. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption: What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year?
Since:
Degree of Operating Leverage = Percentage change in Operating Income / Percentage change in Sales
Substituting the relevant values, we have:
7.50 = Percentage change in Operating Income / 20%
Percentage change in Operating Income = 7.5 * 20% = 150%
Therefore, the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year is 150%.
2-b. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption: 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.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Change in Net Operating Income = 150% * $28,000 = $42,000
Expected amount of Net Operating Income = Current Net Operating Income + Change in Net Operating Income = $28,000 + $42,000 = $70,000
Castle Corporation conducts business in States 1, 2, and 3. Castle’s $630,000 taxable income consists of $555,000 apportionable income and $75,000 allocable income generated from transactions conducted in State 3.

John received a promotion at work and felt new clothes would be necessary in the new position. John went to a local store and charged three ties on his charge account at a cost of $60 each. Bill, a friend of John's, saw a sidewalk vendor selling ties at a cost of three for $10 and bought three at that price. The friends compared purchases that night and found that they had purchased identical ties. John became enraged and said that he would not pay the charge-account bill because the ties were clearly not worth $60 each. Bill indicated that he would testify on John's behalf if litigation ensued. What would be the probable outcome of the lawsuit
Answer:
John will lose the lawsuit
Explanation:
Businesses have a right to set the price of their products, and when the customers considers the price and agrees with it the deal is sealed.
In the given scenario John made the purchase at $60 per tie and he was satisfied with the sale at point of purchase.
He only became enraged when Bill told him he bought his identical ties at $10.
John will lose a lawsuit of he fails to pay the charge-account bill because he willingly agreed to the $60 per tie price.
If a company has goodwill on its books, the goodwill:
Goodwill is an intangible asset (an asset that's non-physical but offers long-term value) that arises when another company acquires a new business. Goodwill refers to the purchase cost, minus the fair market value of the tangible assets, the liabilities, and the intangible assets that you're able to identify.
How does goodwill affect a company?Goodwill has a major impact on value because it reduces the risk that a business' profitability will falter after it changes hands. That goodwill value is simply calculated as the difference between the purchase price of the business and the fair market value of the tangible assets included in the sale.

Explanation:
LIFO method assumes that the units to arrive last, will be sold first. Also note that the perpetual Inventory method is used. This means the cost of sales and inventory value is calculated after every transaction.
So with LIFO , Cost of Sales will be calculated on recent prices (later prices) whilst Inventory will be valued at earlier prices (old prices).

Fixed-overhead volume variance $11,000 unfavorable
Therefore the company's fixed-overhead volume variance would be: $11,000 unfavorable
Computing Number of Shares
The charter of Vista West Corporation specifies that it is authorized to issue 212,000 shares of common stock. Since the company was incorporated, it has sold a total of 145,000 shares (at $16 per share) to the public. It has bought back a total of 15,000. The par value of the stock is $6. When the stock was bought back from the public, the market price was $23.
Required:
1. Determine the authorized shares.
2. Determine the issued shares.
3. Determine the outstanding shares.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. Determine the authorized shares.
The authorized share simply refers to the maximum number of shares that can be issued by a particular company. In this case, the authorised share is 212000.
2. Determine the issued shares.
The issued share simply means the shares sold. In this case, the answer is 145000 shares.
3. Determine the outstanding shares.
The outstanding shares will be:
= 145000 - 15000
= 130000

On May 1, an additional 9,000 shares of common stock were issued. On July 1, 6,000 shares of common stock were acquired for the treasury. On September 1, the 6,000 treasury shares of common stock were reissued. The preferred stock has a $4 per share dividend rate, and each share may be converted into 2 shares of common stock. Soliman Corporation’s 2018 net income is $230,000.
Required
a. Compute earnings per share for 2018. Round your answer to two decimal places.
b. Compute diluted earnings per share for 2018. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
Soliman Corporation
1. Basic EPS
= $6.18 per share
2. Diluted EPS
= $5.23 per share
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Convertible Preferred Stock = 5,000 or 10,000 Common Shares
Common Stock:
January 1, 2018 = 25,000
May 1, 2018 Issued 9,000
July 1, 2018 Treasury (6,000)
September 1, 2018 Treasury 6,000
Total outstanding 34,000
Converted preferred stock 10,000
Total outstanding 44,000
2018 Net Income = $230,000
Preferred dividend 20,000 ($4 * 5,000)
Income for Common $210,000
Basic Earnings per share = $210,000/34,000 = $6.18
Diluted Earnings per share = $230,000/44,000 = $5.23
Anthony Thomas Candies (ATC) reported the following financial data for 2021 and 2020:
2021 2020
Sales $ 314,000 $ 290,000
Sales returns and allowances 8,000 4,700
Net sales $ 306,000 $ 285,300
Cost of goods sold:
Inventory, January 1 62,000 18,000
Net purchases 139,000 142,000
Goods available for sale 201,000 160,000
Inventory, December 31 61,000 62,000
Cost of goods sold 140,000 98,000
Gross profit $ 166,000 $ 187,300
The average days inventory for ATC (rounded) for 2021 is: (Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)
A. 171 days.
B. 222 days.
C. 231 days
D. Less than 100 days.
Answer:
D. Less than 100 days
Explanation:
Average days inventory = 365 / Inventory turnover rate
But
Inventory turnover rate = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
Also,
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2
= ($62,000 + $18,000) / 2
= $40,000
Inventory turnover rate = $201,000 / $40,000 = 5.025
Average days inventory = 365 / 5.025 = 72.64 days
You are planning to save for retirement over the next 35 years. To do this, you will invest $710 per month in a stock account and $310 per month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 9.1 percent, and the bond account will earn 5.1 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with an annual return of 6.1 percent. Assume the returns are expressed as APRs.
How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 30-year withdrawal period?
Answer:
monthly payment = $16,162.87
Explanation:
future value of stock account = $710 x= [(1 + 0.00758333)⁴²⁰- 1 ] / 0.00758333 = $2,142,045
future value of bond account = $310 x= [(1 + 0.00425)⁴²⁰- 1 ] / 0.00425 = $360,116
future value = $2,502,161
PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.0050833)³⁶⁰ ] / 0.0050833 = 165.019
monthly payment = $2,502,161 / 165.019 = $16,162.87

A large brand runs several companies, including a chain of hotels, an automobile business, and a software development firm. Which data warehouse would help the organization view consolidated results of all the businesses?
A.
distributed
B.
LAN based
C.
virtual
D.
multistage
E.
stationary
Answer:
A.
distributed
Explanation:
In the case of the large brand running several companies, the best data warehouse suitable for them would be distributed type. This is because, it would allow them to house their data separately in the different arms of the business like hotels, automobiles business and software development businesses before the information is linked together and distributed evenly.
The distributed data warehouse allows them to share information among the various arms of the businesses due to the linkage between them.

Suppose that the Federal Reserve decides to decrease the money supply with a $300 purchases of Treasury bills. Complete the tables that represent the financial position of the Federal Reserve and commercial banks after this open-market operation. Be sure to use a negative sign for reduced values.
Federal Reserves Assest Liabilities
Commercial Reserves Assets Liabilities
For the Federal Reserve, what are assets? What are liabilities?
a. Monetary base; Reserves
b. Monetary base; Treasury bills
c. Treasury bills; Reserves
d. Reserves; Treasury bill
e. Treasury bills; Monetary base
Answer:
1. Federal Reserves:
Assets : $300
The Fed purchased these T-bills so they will form part of the Fed's assets as they are now owned by the Fed.
Liabilities: $300
Liabilities of the Fed will increase by $300 because the banks will deposit the money they got from the purchase in the Fed.
Commercial Banks:
Treasury Bills: -$300
The Treasury bills will reduce by $300 to reflect that the Fed purchased $300 worth of T-bills from the banks.
Reserves: $300
Reserves will increase because the banks would have made money from selling the T-bills to the Fed.
2. e. Treasury bills; Monetary base
Treasury bills are assets to the Fed in this case because as explained, they own these T-bills now after purchasing them.
The monetary base however, is a liability because it represents commercial bank reserves held in the Fed. They owe the banks this money thereby making it a liability.
Item 5 Required information Skip to question Current Time 0:00 / Duration 6:35 1x The Science Institute has three departments: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The institute's controller wants to estimate the cost of operating each department. He has identified several indirect costs that must be allocated to each department including $43,000 of indirect salaries, $4,500 of office supplies, and $36,500 of office rent. There are 500 students in the biology department, 200 in chemistry and 300 in physics (1,000 total students as the allocation base). The amount of cost that should be allocated to the Chemistry Department is
Answer:
$16,800
Explanation:
Calculation to determine The amount of cost that should be allocated to the Chemistry Department is
First step is to calculate the Cost to be allocated
Cost to be allocated = $43,000 + $4,500 + $36,500
Cost to be allocated= $84,000
Second step is to calculate the Allocation base
Allocation base = 500 + 200 + 300
Allocation base = 1,000 total students
Third step is to calculate the Allocation rate using this formula
Allocation rate = Cost to be allocated ÷
Allocation base
Let plug in the formula
Allocation rate= $84,000 ÷ 1,000
Allocation rate = $84 per student
Now let calculate the Allocation to Chemistry Department
Allocation to Chemistry Department = $84 per student x 200
Allocation to Chemistry Department = $16,800
Therefore The amount of cost that should be allocated to the Chemistry Department is $16,800

Otto and Monica are married taxpayers who file a joint tax return. For the current tax year, they have AGI of $99,600. They have excess depreciation on real estate of $59,760, which must be added back to AGI to arrive at AMTI. The amount of their mortgage interest expense for the year was $19,920, and they made charitable contributions of $9,960. They have no other itemized deductions. If Otto and Monica's taxable income for the current year is $69,720, determine the amount of their AMTI.
Answer: $129480
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the amount of their AMTI will be calculated as:
AGI = $99600
Add: Excess Depreciation on Real Estate = $59760
Less: Mortgage Interest Expenses = $19920
Less : Charitable Contribution = $9960
AMTI = $129480
Your company is estimated to make dividends payments of $2.1 next year, $3.6 the year after, and $4.2 in the year after that. The dividends will then grow at a constant rate of 6% per year. If the discount rate is 9% then what is the current stock price
Answer:
P0 = $122.79185 rounded off to $122.79
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so ong is the constant growth rate in dividendsr is the discount rateP0 = 2.1 / (1+0.09) + 3.6 / (1+0.09)^2 + 4.2 / (1+0.09)^3 +
[(4.2 * (1+0.06) / (0.09 - 0.06)) / (1+0.09)^3]
P0 = $122.79185 rounded off to $122.79
Jane Industries manufactures plastic toys. During October, Jane's Fabrication Department started work on 10,400 models. During the month, the company completed 11,200 models, and transferred them to the Distribution Department. The company ended the month with 2200 models in ending inventory. There were 3000 models in beginning inventory. All direct materials costs are added at the beginning of the production cycle and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. The FIFO method of process costing is being followed. Beginning work in process was 30% complete as to conversion costs, while ending work in process was 55% complete as to conversion costs.
Beginning inventory​:
Direct materials costs $20,000
Conversion costs $11,100
Manufacturing costs added during the accounting period​:
Direct materials costs $70,700
Conversion costs $240,500
What is the amount of direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process inventory at the end of October?
a. $19,783
b. $20,337
c. $10,923
d. $14,916
Answer:
d. $14,916
Explanation:
Note that Jane Industries uses FIFO method of process costing.
Step 1 : Equivalent Units in respect of materials
Materials = 3,000 x 0 % + 8,200 x 100% + 2,200 x 100%
= 10,400 units
Step 2 : Cost per Equivalent unit in respect of materials
Cost per Equivalent = $70,700 ÷ 10,400 units
= $6.80
Step 3 : direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process
Ending work-in-process (Materials Cost) = 2,200 x $6.80
= $14,960
Barrington Industries anticipated selling 29,000 units of a major product and paying sales commissions of $6 per unit. Actual sales and sales commissions totaled 31,500 units and $182,700, respectively. If the company used a static budget for performance evaluations, Barrington would report a cost variance of: Multiple Choice $6,300U. $6,300F. $8,700U. $8,700F. None of the answers is correct.
Answer:
Barrington would report $8,700U cost variance.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Actual sales commissions = $182,700
Budgeted sales commissions = Anticipated sales units * commissions of per unit = 29,000 * $6 = $174,000
Sales commission cost variance = Actual sales commissions - Budgeted sales commissions = $182,700 - $174,000 = $8,700U
Since the Actual sales commissions is greater than Budgeted sales commissions, the cost variance is unfavourable and Barrington would report $8,700U cost variance.
Organizations face myriad barriers and obstacles to effectively increasing and embracing diversity in their workplaces. Some of these barriers stem from people in the organization who are resistant to changing the organization to make it more diverse. This activity is important because resistance to this type of change is an attitude that managers will come up against frequently, and managers should be able to recognize when this occurs so that they can manage the organization and its employees through this challenging but very important type of change.
