Answer:
$54,775
Explanation:
The computation of the finished goods inventory is shown below:
As we know that
Cost of Goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured + Opening stock of Finished goods - Closing stock of Finished goods
Now
Ending Stock of Finished goods = Cost of goods manufactured + Opening stock of Finished goods - Cost of Goods sold
So,
Ending Stock of Finished goods is
= $107,350 + $35,675 - $88,250
= $54,775

M. K. Gallant is president of Kranbrack Corporation, a company whose stock is traded on a national exchange. In a meeting with investment analysts at the beginning of the year, Gallant had predicted that the company’s earnings would grow by 20% this year. Unfortunately, sales have been less than expected for the year, and Gallant concluded within two weeks of the end of the fiscal year that it would be impossible to report an increase in earnings as large as predicted unless some drastic action was taken. Accordingly, Gallant has ordered that wherever possible, expenditures should be postponed to the new year—including canceling or postponing orders with suppliers, delaying planned maintenance and training, and cutting back on end-of-year advertising and travel. Additionally, Gallant ordered the company’s controller to carefully scrutinize all costs that are currently classified as period costs and reclassify as many as possible as product costs. The company is expected to have substantial inventories at the end of the year.
1. Why would reclassifying period costs as product costs increase this period’s reported earnings?
2. Do you believe Gallant’s actions are ethical? Why or why not?

Starbucks opened its first store in Seoul, Korea in October 2002. The price of a tall vanilla latte is 3,000 Korean Won. In New York City, the price of a tall vanilla latte is $3.00. The exchange rate between Korean Won and U.S. dollars is Won 1,150/$. According to purchasing power parity, is the Korean Won overvalued or undervalued
Answer:
The Korean Won is undervalued
Explanation:
The Korean Won is undervalued if we determine this measure by comparing the prices of the vanilla latte at a Korean Starbucks and at an American Starbucks.
If purchasing power parity was perfectly equal, the latte at the Seoul Starbucks would be priced at $3,450, because the exchange rate is 1,150/$ and $3 x 1,1150 = 3,450, $3 being the price of the latte in New York City.
We can see that the latte in Seoul only costs 3,000 Won, so, under this comparison, the Won is undervalued by 450 Won.

By convention, a swap buyer on an interest rate swap agrees to act as the dealer in the swap agreement. hold both principal and interest to contract maturity. periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest. back both sides of the swap agreement. periodically pay a floating rate of interest and receive a fixed rate of interest.
Answer:
periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest.
Explanation:
The interest rate (rate of return) can be defined as the percentage of interest or dividends earned on money that is invested.
In Financial accounting, a return refers to the amount of profit generated by an investor on an investment over a specific period of time.
Basically, the interest rate which is typically expressed as a percentage of the initial costs of an investment can either be a gain or a loss on an investment. Therefore, a positive rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, simply means that an investor is making a profit (gains) while a negative rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, indicates that the investor is running at a loss.
By convention, a swap buyer on an interest rate swap agrees to periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest.
A common error made when solving a future value of an annuity problem is: Multiple Choice Using factor tables to help solve the problem. Dividing the annual deposit by the number of years before calculating the problem. Using a financial calculator to help solve the problem. Multiplying the number of years and the interest rate before calculating the problem. Multiplying the annual deposit and the number of years before calculating the problem.
Answer:
Multiplying the annual deposit and the number of years before calculating the problem.
Explanation:
An annuity can be defined as a sequence of payment that is typically made at equal intervals i.e at specific period of time.
Basically, annuity can be calculated using the compound interest formula. It is given by the mathematical expression;
[tex] A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
Where;
A is the future value.
P is the principal or starting amount.
r is annual interest rate.
n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year.
t is the number of years for the compound interest.
Additionally, the time period between each payment is called payment period.
The term of an annuity refers to the time from the beginning of the first payment made by an individual to the end of the last payment period.
A common error made when solving a future value of an annuity problem is multiplying the annual deposit and the number of years before calculating the problem.
1) Consider the single factor APT. Portfolio A has a beta of 1.7 and an expected return of 19%. Portfolio B has a beta of .6 and an expected return of 15%. The risk-free rate of return is 11%. If you wanted to take advantage of an arbitrage opportunity, you should take a short position in portfolio __________ and a long position in portfolio
Answer:
A, B.
Explanation:
E(r) = Rf + beta (Risk premium on factor)
PORTFOLIO A
19% = 11% + 1.7(RP)
19% - 11% = 1.7(RP)
(RP) = 0.08/1.7
(RP) = 0.047059
(RP) = 4.706%
PORTFOLIO B
15% = 11% + 0.6(RP)
15% - 11% = 0.6(RP)
(RP) = 0.04/0.6
(RP) = 0.06667
(RP) = 6.667%
As risk premium is lower in case of portfolio A, the correct strategy is Short Position in Portfolio A and Long Position in Portfolio B

1. A manager uses the following equation to predict monthly receipts: Y=450+10t time in weeks and y = receipts.) What is the forecast for July 14th if t=4 is the fourth week in January and t = 6 is February 14th of the same year (assume there are 4 weeks in each month)?
a. 690
b. 710
c. 730
d. 750
2. A major reason that decision making is often not such a rational process is that there are: Suppose we have H0:µ1= µ2 versus HA: µ1 ≠ µ2, with level of significance of α =.05 and critical values of zα/2 = ± 1.96, and the computed Test Statistics value of Z = -1.07. What is our decision?
Answer:
1. 690
2. Do not reject the null hypothesis.
Explanation:
1. Month t
At the end of Feb 6
March 4
April 4
May 4
June 2
14th of July 2
Total 24
Therefore on 14th July, t = 24
Forecast: Y = 450+10t = 450 + 10*24 = 450+240 = 690
2. Options are "a. Reject the null hypothesis. b. Do not reject the null hypothesis. c. Take a larger sample. d. Reserve judgment"
In general, if test statistic is more extreme than the critical values at given level of significance then we reject the null hypothesis otherwise we do not reject the null hypothesis.
Here, test statistic for the given two tailed test is Z = -1.07 and critical value at level of significance α = 0.5 is ± 1.96 . Since -1.96<Z<1.96, we can say that we do not reject Null Hypothesis as the test statistic is not extreme than the critical value at given level of significance.
Problem 4-8 Sales and Growth [LO2] The most recent financial statements for Alexander Co. are shown here: Income Statement Balance Sheet Sales $ 42,950 Current assets $ 17,580 Long-term debt $ 37,070 Costs 35,550 Fixed assets 68,350 Equity 48,860 Taxable income $ 7,400 Total $ 85,930 Total $ 85,930 Taxes (21%) 1,554 Net income $ 5,846 Assets and costs are proportional to sales. The company maintains a constant 35 percent dividend payout ratio and a constant debt-equity ratio. What is the maximum dollar increase in sales that can be sustained assuming no new equity is issued
Answer:
$3,621.96
Explanation:
ROE = Net income/Equity * 100
ROE = 5846/48860*100
ROE = 11.9648%
Dividend payout ratio = 35%
Retention Ratio = 1 - 35% = 65%
Sustainable growth rate = (ROE*b)/(1-ROE*b)
Sustainable growth rate = (11.9648%*0.65)/(1- (11.9648%*0.65%))
Sustainable growth rate = 8.43%
Therefore, Maximum Dollar Increase in sales = Sales * Sustainable growth rate = 42,950 * 8.43% = $3,621.96

a. $9,960.
b. $8,000.
c. $11,108.
d. $45,992.
e. $19,200.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information
Payroll = $432,000 ÷ 4,800 = $90 per hour
Setup = $120,000 / 120 = $1,000 per setup
Material handling barrel = $104,400 / 8,700 = $11.95 per barrel
Quality control inspection = $264,000 / 1,100 = $240 per inspection
Overhead = $144,000 / 12,000 = $12 per machine hour
Details of the current product requirement
8 setup = 8 × $1,000 = $8,000
606 barrels = 606 × $11.95 = $7,242
80 inspections = 80 × $240 = $19,200
830 machine hours = 830 × $12 = $9,960
336 labor hours = 336 × $90 = $30,240
Total overhead assigned to order = $74,642

Lincoln, Inc., which uses a volume-based cost system, produces cat condos that sell for $140 each. Direct materials cost $22 per unit, and direct labor costs $15 per unit. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 280% of direct labor cost. Nonmanufacturing costs are $34 per unit. What is the gross profit margin for the cat condos
Answer:
43.57 %
Explanation:
The computation of the gross margin for the cat condos is given below:
Total Manufacturing Cost per unit is
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $22 + $15 + ( 280% of $15)
= $79
Now
Gross Profit is
= Selling price per unit - Total Manufacturing Cost per unit
= $140 - $79
= $61
And finally
Gross Profit Margin is
= (Gross Profit ÷ Selling Price ) × 100
= ($61 ÷ $140) × 100

Based on market research, she can sell about 50,000 units during the first year at a price of $4 per unit. With annual overhead costs and operating expenses amounting to $145,000. Jamie expects a profit margin of 20 percent. This margin is 5 percent larger than that of her largest competitor, Apps. Inc.
a. If Jamie decides to embark on her new venture, What will her accounting cost be during the first year of operation? Her implicit costs? Her opportunity costs?
Accounting costs: $_____
Implicit costs: $_____
Opportunity costs: $_____
b. Suppose that Jamie's estimated selling price is lower than originally projected during the first year. How much revenue would she need in order to earn positive accounting profits? Positive economic profits?
Revenue needed to earn positive accounting profits: $______
Revenue needed to earn positive economic profits:
Answer:
Follows are the solution to the given points:
Explanation:
For point A:
Cost with accounting=The actual manufacturing expenditures or spendings that appear on expensive sports or record of a company= [tex]\$ 145,000[/tex]
[tex]\text{Costs = gross pay} = 50000 \times 4 - 1.2 \times1,45,000 = 26000\\\\{ total \ cost = 120 \% \ of\ 145,000}[/tex]
Cost opportunity=75,000
Total revenue required besides positive accounting benefits=cost of accounting =145000
Income to create positive economic benefits=cost of accounts + implied cost
[tex]= 145000+26000=171000[/tex]
For point B:
Income required to make positive profit in accounts = 145,000 more than the accounting costs
Revenue necessary to earn positive profit = 220,000 more than opportunity cost
Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering purchasing a $100,000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. She is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. However, the Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct any state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering whether to purchase a $100, 000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. Tammy is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct all state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.If required, round your computations and answers to the nearest dollar. Determine the after tax income from each bond. Virginia Bond: $ 4, 600 North Carolina Bond: $ 4, 451 Which of the two options will provide the greater after-tax return to Tammy? Virginia bond
Solution :
Assuming that the bond amount is $100,000.
After the tax income from the Virginia bond is given by:
= 100,000 x 4.5%
= $ 4500
After the income tax from the North Carolina bond :
= (100,000 x 4.6%) x (1-5%) + (100,000 x 4.6% x 5% x 0.35)
= $ 4451
Therefore the Virginia bond will give an after tax higher return.

Sorter Company purchased equipment for $330,000 on January 2, 2019. The equipment has an estimated service life of 8 years and an estimated residual value of $33,000 . Required: Compute the depreciation expense for 2019 under each of the following methods: Straight-line: $ fill in the blank 1 Sum-of-the-years'-digits: $ fill in the blank 2 Double-declining-balance: $
Answer:
1. Depreciation expense for 2019(Straight-line)= (Cost of the assets - Salvage value) / life of the assets
= ($330000 - $33000)/8
= $37,125
2. Sum-of-the-years'-digits = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36
Depreciation Expense for 2019(Sum-of-the-years'-digits method)
= ($330000 - $33000)*8/36
= $66,000
3. Double-declining-balance depreciation rate = (100/8 years)*2 = 25%
Depreciation Expense for 2019 = 330000*25% = $82,500

Managers of the company have an intuitive feel regarding the financial benefits associated with a change to JIT, but they would like to have some data to inform their decision making in this regard. You are provided with the following data:
Item ExistingSituation AfterAdopting JIT
Manufacturing costs as percentage of sales:
Product-level support 15 % 4 %
Variable manufacturing overhead 28 10
Direct materials 30 20
Direct manufacturing labor 20 13
Other financial data:
Sales revenue $ 1,430,000 $ 1,810,000
Inventory of WIP 260,000 46,000
Other data:
Manufacturing cycle time 60 days 30 days
Inventory financing costs (per annum) 10 % 10 %
Required:
As the management accountant for the company, prepare an estimate the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT. Specifically, what is the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation?
Answer:
A. $74,100 $954,700
B. $880,600
Explanation:
A. Preparation to estimate the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT
Current situation After JIT
Sales 1,430,000 1,810,000
Less costs
Production level support 214,500 72,400
(15%*1,430,000=214,500)
(4%*1,810,000=72,400)
Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 181,000
(28%*1,430,000=400,400)
(10%*1,810,000=181,000)
Direct material 429,000 362,000
(30%*1,430,000=429,000)
(20%*1,810,000=362,000)
Direct manufacturing labor 286,000 235,300
(20%*1,430,000=286,000)
(13%*1,810,000=235,300)
Inventory financing costs 26,000 4,600
(10%*260,000=26,000)
(10%*46,000=4,600)
Total costs 1,355,900 855,300
Operating profits $74,100 $954,700
(1,430,000-1,355,900)
(1,810,000-855,300)
Therefore the the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT will be $74,100 $954,700
B. Preparation for the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation
Current situation After JIT Change
Sales 1,430,000-1,810,000=-380,000
Less costs
Production level support 214,500-72,400 =142,100
Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 -181,000=219,400
Direct material 429,000-362,000=67,000
Direct manufacturing labor 286,000- 235,300= 50,700
Inventory financing costs 26,000-4,600 =21,400
Total costs 1,355,900-855,300=500,600
Operating profits 74,100-954,700=880,600
Therefore the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation will be 880,600

Camptown Togs, Inc., a children’s clothing manufacturer, has always found payroll processing to be costly because it must be done by a clerk so that the number of piece-goods coupons received by each employee can be collected and the types of tasks performed by each employee can be calculated. Not long ago, an industrial engineer designed a system that partially automates the process by means of a scanner that reads the piece-goods coupons. Management is enthusiastic about this system because it utilizes some personal computer systems that were purchased recently. It is expected that this new automated system will save $45,000 per year in labor. The new system will cost about $30,000 to build and test prior to operation. It is expected that operating costs, including income taxes, will be about $5,000 per year. The system will have a five-year useful life. The expected net salvage value of the system is estimated to be $3,000.
