Answer:
Total unitary cost= $13
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor $2
Direct material 3
Variable overhead 4
Total variable cost= 9
Fixed overhead= $50,000
Units produed= 12,500
To calculate the total cost per unit, first, we need to calculate the unitary fixed overhead.
Unitary fixed overhead= 50,000/12,500= $4
Total unitary cost= 9 + 4= $13

Barbara's Bakery purchased appliances (7 year property) in quarter 4 of Year 1. The original cost of the appliances was $40,000 and she did NOT use bonus depreciation or Section 179 expensing in the year of purchase. The mid-quarter convention has been used for the calculation of depreciation. If Barbara sells the appliances in March of Year 4, she will be able to deduct $:________.
Answer:
$703
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Barbara will be able to deduct If she sells the appliances in March of Year 4
Purchase value $10,000
MARC rate for 4 years 14.06
Proportion of the year factor- Mid quarter (1.5/12)
Therefore the Depreciation deduction allowed will be:
(40,000 ×14.06%)/12^⁴(1.5)
= $703
Answer:($40,000 * 14.06 %* 12.5% )= $703
Explanation: First, we determine the depreciable basis. In this case, Barbara purchased it, so we use the amount of how much the was the cost of asset ($40,000). We then proceed to determine which type of convention (Mid-convention) was used and no depreciation bonus or section 179 expensing. Now we gather more information if she is only depreciating or/and also disposing? The recovery period(MARCS table) for an appliance is a 7-year property(also given in the problem). We have to use mid-quarter convention not only because it is given in the problem but also it is the rule : 40% of personal property in service during the last three months of the tax year(in this case it is in quarter 4 or last quarter. We use the mid quarter convention table for the quarter 4 recovery year 4 which has the value of 14.06% to depreciate the value we multiply this to cost basis ($40,000) = 5624 depreciable value. However, Barbara also wants to sell (dispose) the appliances, we have to use the disposition table Mid-quarter convention percentage and we have to consider when is she selling the appliances. In this case, she sells in March(year 4 recovery period), take note that March is part of the 1st quarter . The value for the first quarter of disposition is 12.5% (derived from 1.5/12). We then multiply this value to determine how much she will be able to deduct. Hence,
$40,000*14.06%*12.5% = $703
For the question below, write an explanation of the short-run effect including the determinant of AD or AS that is causing the shift, the line that shifts (AD or AS), the direction of the shift (left or right), and the impact on output and price level (increase or decrease) and submit a properly drawn and labeled aggregate demand and aggregate supply graph for the scenario. Tourists flock to visit the major theme park's in Orlando, Florida.
Answer:
Tourists flock to visit the major theme park's in Orlando, Florida.
Determinant of AD: Consumer confidence is the best determinant in this case. Tourists flock the theme parks because households not only have enough money to spend on recreation, but also feel that they will continue to have enough money to make ends meet in the near future, otherwise they would not go to the parks, and instead would save the money.
Direction of the shift: the AD curve shifts to the right, because AD is increasing, and the AD curve increases when it shifts to the right.
Impact on output and price level: Output increases because consumer confidence, and as a result, consumer demand, is boosting aggregate demand.
Price level also increases, because demand is pushing the price of a good that has a relatively inelastic supply (the theme parks). In other words, demand is rising more than supply, and this increases the price.

What will be your rate of return if the price of Telecom stock goes up by 10% during the next year? (Ignore the expected dividend.)
Answer:
The answer is 12%
Explanation:
Initial investment:
$5,000 in equity + $5,000 in debt
=$10,000
Number of shares bought with the initial investment is:
Initial investment/Stock price
= $10,000/$50 = 200 shares.
The shares increase in value by 10%: $10,000 x 0.10 = $1,000.
Interest on debt = $5,000 x 0.08 = $400.
The rate of return will be:
($1,000 - $400) ÷ $5,000
0.12

c. Reason for the difference in the amount of the operating income in (a) and (b):
There is no difference in this case. A difference would arise if there were beginning and closing inventories from the different treatment of fixed production overheads, which are absorbed in the product costs.
Explanation:
Gallatin County Motors, Inc.'s income statement under absorption costing technique measures the cost of production and net income by taking into full account the full production costs, including fixed overheads. It reports a gross profit figure which compares the full cost of production and the service revenue.
On the other hand, Gallatin County Motors, Inc.'s income statement under the variable costing technique measures the cost of production and net income by taking into account all the variable costs. With this technique, a contribution margin is the difference between service revenue and variable costs.
Differences in the reported net income arise from the presence of beginning and ending inventory. Another difference is that while absorption costing income statement reports a gross profit figure before net income, the variable costing income statement reports a contribution margin and, in addition, regards all fixed costs as period costs.
An income statement for Gallatin County Motors, Inc. uses an absorption costing approach to calculate the cost of production and net income by accounting for all production expenses, including fixed overheads.
It gives a gross profit statistic that compares the whole cost of manufacturing to the income from services.
The calculations of the net operating income have been attached below.
c. Reason for the discrepancy in operating income amounts in (a) and (b):
In this scenario, there is no distinction. If there were beginning and closing inventories, a difference would develop due to the different treatment of fixed production overheads, which are included in product costs.
This same existence between marking inventories creates differences in the recorded net income.
Another distinction is that, although an absorption costing income statement shows gross profit before net profit, a flexible budget income statement shows a contribution margin and treats all fixed expenses as period costs.

A real estate office handles a 80-unit apartment complex. When the rent is $560 per month, all units are occupied. For each $45 increase in rent, however, an average of one unit becomes vacant. Each occupied unit requires an average of $50 per month for service and repairs. What rent should be charged to obtain a maximum profit
Answer:
$2,090 should be charged as rent to obtain maximum profit.
Explanation:
Let's assume x is the number of occupied apartment.
Therefore, the total rent the company is getting can be represented as;
{(560 + 45(80-x)}x-50x
Y=560x + 3600x - 45x^2 - 50x
Y=4110x - 45x^2
Y^'=(4110x - 45x^2)^'
Y=4110 - 90x
Y=0
4110-90x = 0
90x = 4110
x = 45.67
Rent is therefore;
560 + (80 - 46)45
=560 + 1530
=$2,090
$2,090 should be charged as rent to obtain maximum profit.
The calculation is as follows:
Let's us assume x is the number of occupied apartment.
The total rent the company can be expressed as {(560 + 45(80-x)}x-50x
Y=560x + 3600x - 45x^2 - 50x
Y=4110x - 45x^2
Y^'=(4110x - 45x^2)^'
Y=4110 - 90x
Y=0
4110-90x = 0
90x = 4110
x = 45.67
Rent is therefore;
560 + (80 - 46)45
=560 + 1530
=$2,090

Longobardi Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the Corporation estimated the labor-hours for the upcoming year at 30,600 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $6.18 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $626,076. The actual labor-hours for the year turned out to be 27,100 labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $26.64 per labor-hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated the labor-hours= 30,600 labor-hours.
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead= $6.18 per labor-hour
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead= $626,076.
To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (626,076/30,600) + 6.18
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $26.64 per labor-hour

arithmetic average growth rate = (4% + 3.37% + 5.12% + 3.1%) / 4 = 3.9%
we need to find the required rate or return (RRR) in the following formula:
stock price = expected dividend / (RRR - growth rate)
expected dividend = $2.33 x 1.039 = $2.42stock price = $55growth rate = 0.03955 = 2.42 / (RRR - 0.039)
RRR - 0.039 = 2.42 / 55 = 0.044
RRR = 0.083 = 8.3%
geometric average growth rate = [(1.04 x 1.0337 x 1.0512 x 1.031)¹/⁴] - 1 = 3.89%
again we need to find the required rate or return (RRR) in the following formula:
stock price = expected dividend / (RRR - growth rate)
expected dividend = $2.33 x 1.0389 = $2.42stock price = $55growth rate = 0.038955 = 2.42 / (RRR - 0.0389)
RRR - 0.0389 = 2.42 / 55 = 0.044
RRR = 0.0829 = 8.29%
7. XYZ Firm recently paid $1.00 as an annual dividend. Future dividends are projected at $1.50, $2.00, $2.50, and $3.00 over the next 4 years, respectively. Beginning 5 years from now, the dividend is expected to increase by 3.0 percent annually. What is one share of this stock worth to you if you require 8 percent rate of return on similar investments
Answer:
The worth of one share is $52.72
Explanation:
The annual dividend = $1
The future dividend = $1.50, $2, $2.50, and $3
The increase in investment = 3%
Value after year 4 = (D4*Growth Rate)/(Required rate-Growth Rate)
=(3*1.03)/(0.08-0.03)
=61.8
Thus, current value (CV) = Future dividend & value × Present value of discounting factor (rate%, time period)
=1.5/1.08 + 2/1.08^2 + 2.5/1.08^3 + 3/1.08^4 + 61.8/1.08^4
=$52.72
In Concord, Inc., the Assembly Department started 61000 units and completed 70700 units. If beginning work in process was 30800 units, how many units are in ending work in process?
Answer:
Closing inventory = 21,100 units
Explanation:
The closing working in progress represent the units of work at the end of the period for which are yet to be completed in the period.
It is the sum of the opening inventory and the units introduced less the completed units. This given below in mathematical terms
Closing inventory = Opening inventory + Newly added - completed units
= 30,800 + 61,000 - 70,700= 21,100
Closing inventory = 21,100 units

True or false: Using the weighted-average method, the computation of EUP separates units into direct materials and conversion.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Equivalent units of production need to be calculated for Materials and Conversion costs separately as the work done (Percentage Completion) towards the outputs may be different in these input elements. This is applicable to Both the weighted-average method and the first-in first-out method.
What action can a supervisor take to reinforce the desired change and create a work environment that nourishes successful people?
Answer:
Communicate the reasons for the change.
Explanation:
Remember, reinforcement involves not necessarily employing harsh measures, but communicating with a view to persuade into action.
Since a supervisor is often seen as a head among his colleagues, he thus can exert influence on other employees by explaining the reasons and benefits for such change, doing so would steer employees into accepting the organisational change.

A corporate bond has a 6% annual coupon, $1000 par value, and 25 years left to maturity. If the bond currently sells for a premium of 1120, what is the yield to maturity
Answer:
Yield to Maturity = 5.21%
Explanation:
The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:
YM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)
YM-Yield to maturity-
C- annual coupon
F- Face Value
P- Current Price
YM-?, C- 6%× 1000 =60, Face Value - 1,000, P-1120
YM = (60 + (1000-1120)/25) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 1120) )
YM = 0.0520 × 100 = 5.207
Yield to Maturity = 5.21%
