Journalize the following transactions for Combs Company.
(a) Purchased 6,000 units of raw materials on account for $11,500. The standard cost was $12,000.
(b) Issued 5,600 units of raw materials for production. The standard units were 5,800.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Debit: Raw material $12000

Credit: Account payable $11500

Credit: Material price variance $500

(To record material purchase)

b. Debit: Work in process 11600

Credit: Raw material 11200

Credit: Material price variance 400

(To record material issued)

Note:

Material price variance for (a)= 12000 - 11500 = 500

Work in progress = 5800 × 2 = 11600

Material price variance for (b) = 11600 - 11200 = 400

A proposed new project has projected sales of $195,000, costs of $92,000, and depreciation of $25,200. The tax rate is 25 percent. Calculate operating cash flow using the four different approaches. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Operating cash flow
EBIT +Depreciation - Taxes 58,800
Top-down
Tax-shield
Bottom-up

Answers

Answer:

EBIT + Depreciation - Tax

= (195000-92000-25200) + 25200 - 19450

= $83,550

Top down OCF = EBIT - (EBIT * Tax) + Depreciation  

Top down OCF = (195000-92000-25200) - ((195000-92000-25200) * 0.25) +25200

Top down OCF = 77800 - 19450 + 25200

Top down OCF = $83,550

Tax shield OCF = (Sales - Exp) (1-tax) + (Dep * tax)  

Tax shield OCF = (195000-92000) (1-0.25) + (25200 * 0.25)  

Tax shield OCF = 77250 + 6300

Tax shield OCF = 83550

Bottom Up OCF = Net Income + Dep

Bottom Up OCF = (77800 * (1-0.25) + 25200

Bottom Up OCF = 83550

a. Decreases by 60.6%
b. Decreases by 4.33%
c. Decreases by 4.5%
d. Does not change
e. Increases by 4.5%
f. Increases by 60.6%

Answers

Answer:

c. Decreases by 4.5%

Explanation:

Calculation for What is the percentage change in the PV

First step is to calculate the present value when r is 5%

PV = 100 / (1 + 5%)^1

PV = $95.24

Second step is to calculate present value when r is 10%

PV = 100 / (1 + 10%)^1

PV = $ 90.91

Last step is to calculate the percentage change in the PV

Percentage change in the PV = (90.91 - 95.24) * 100 / 95.24

Percentage change in the PV = - 4.55% (Decrease)

Therefore the Percentage change in the PV Decreases by 4.5%

What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for a stock with annual returns of:__________.
a) 4%,
b) 9%,
c) -6%,
d) 18%

Answers

Answer:

Arithmetic average return = 6.25%

Geometric average return = 5.89%

Explanation:

Annual returns of 4%,  9%,  -6% and  18%

Arithmetic average return of the stock = ∑ 4%,9%,-6%,and 18% / n

= 25%/4

= 6.25%

Geometric average return formula = x1,*x2*x3 .....^1/n  - 1

Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*(1-0.06)*1.18^1/4 -1

Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*0.94*1.18^1/4 - 1

Geometric average return  = 1.25789^1/4-1

Geometric average return = 1.0589 - 1

Geometric average return = 0.0589

Geometric average return = 5.89%

Zhang Industries budgets production of 220 units in June and 230 units in July. Each unit requires 1.5 hours of direct labor. The direct labor rate is $12.40 per hour. The indirect labor rate is $19.40 per hour. Compute the budgeted direct labor cost for July.

Answers

Answer:

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = $4,278

Explanation:

Given:

Production in July = 230 units

Hours of direct labor  = 1.5 hours per unit

Direct Labor rate = $12.40 per hour

Indirect labor rate = $19.40 per hour.

Find:

Budgeted direct labor cost for July

Computation:

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = (Production in July)( Hours of direct labor)( Direct Labor rate)

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = (230)(1.5)(12.4)

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = $4,278

A. Only (1) is true
B. Only (ii) is true
C. Both (i) and (ii) are true
D. Neither (i) nor (i) is true

Answers

Answer:

C. Both (i) and (ii) are true

Explanation:

Under perfect price discrimination, consumer surplus doesn't exist since the supplier is selling the good or service at the maximum price that each consumer is willing to pay. This situation maximizes supplier surplus.

Under perfect competition, both supplier and consumer surplus exist.

Since total social surplus = supplier surplus + consumer surplus, total surplus should be the same in both situations.

List three pieces of information listed in a credit card agreement that you believe are important to review before

Answers

Explanation:

Annual Percentage Rate (APR). This is the cost of borrowing on the card, if you don’t pay the whole balance off each month. You can compare the APR for different cards which will help you to choose the cheapest. You should also compare other things about the cards, for example, fees, charges and incentives

Minimum repayment. If you don’t pay off the balance each month, you will be asked to repay a minimum amount. This is typically around 3% of the balance due.

Annual fee. Some cards charge a fee each year for use of the card. The fee is added to the amount due and you will have to pay interest on the fee as well as on your spending, unless you pay it in full.

It costs Crane Company $28 of variable costs and $15 of allocated fixed costs to produce an industrial trash can that sells for $76. A buyer in Mexico offers to purchase 3000 units at $30 each. Crane Company has excess capacity and can handle the additional production. What effect will acceptance of the offer have on net income

Answers

Answer:

Effect on income= $6,000 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary variable cost= $28

Selling price= $30

Number of units= 3,000

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the allocated fixed costs.

Effect on income= 3,000*(30 - 28)

Effect on income= $6,000 increase

Cromwell's Interiors is considering a project that is equally as risky as the firm's current operations.The firm has a cost of equity of 15.4 percent and a pretax cost of debt of 8.9 percent.The debt-equity ratio is .46 and the tax rate is 34 percent.What is the cost of capital for this project?A) 11.97 percentB) 12.40 percentC) 11.02 percentD) 11.62 percentE) 12.38 percent

Answers

Answer:

Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of equity =  15.4%

Pretax cost of debt = 8.9%

Debt-equity ratio = 0.46

Tax rate = 34%

Computation:

Equity multiplier = 1 + Debt-equity ratio

Equity multiplier = 1 + 0.46

Equity multiplier = 1.46

Weight of equity = 1 / Equity multiplier

Weight of equity = 1 / 1.46

Weight of equity = 0.685

Weight of Debt = 1 - Weight of equity

Weight of Debt = 1 - 0.685

Weight of Debt = 0.315

Cost of capital = [Weight of Debt x Pretax cost of debt] x (1-tax rate) + [Cost of equity x Weight of Debt ]

Cost of capital = [0.315 x 8.9% x (1-0.34)] + [15.4% x 0.6849]

Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)

Answers

Answer:

The price of the stock = $26.69

Explanation:

Missing question at inception is as follows "A firm expects the following free cash flows: Year 1: $10 million, Year 2: $12 million, Year 3: $15 million"

Year   Cash-flows"million    D. rate at 10%     Discounted cash flows

1                 10                         0.9091                          9.0910

2                 12                         0.8264                         9.9168

3                 15                         0.7513                          11.2695

4                 315                       0. 7513                         236.6595

Total                                                                            $266.9368

The price of the stock = Total Present value of cash flows / Number of Shares outstanding

The price of the stock = $266,936,800 / 10,000,000 shares

The price of the stock = $26.69368

The price of the stock = $26.69

Thus, the price of the stock is $26.69 per share

Note:

Present value of future cash flows at year 3 = 15*(1.05/10%-5%)  = 15*(1.05/5%) = 15 * 21 = $315 million

Discount rate for each year = 1/(1+r)^1 = 1/(1+0.10)^1 = 1/1.10 = 0.90909

Higher fixed costs are associated with:_____.
1. higher operating leverage.
2. lower operating leverage.
3. increased risk.
4. lower risk.
a. 1 and 3.
b. 1 and 4.
c. 2 and 3.
d. 2 and 4.

Answers

Answer:

a. 1 and 3.

Explanation:

Given that the operating leverage of a business firm is a sum of its fixed cost and variable cost about the way the firm's cost of business is attributed.

In this case, when a business firm has a high fixed cost, it normally requires a high number of sales to earn more profits. This is termed as "higher operating leverage." This thereby leads such business firms to have "increased risk."

Hence, It is practically correct that in business operation that when a business firm has Higher fixed costs it is associated with "higher operating leverage and increased risk"

Desired profit $150,000
a. $23
b. $10
c. $8
d. $15

Answers

Answer:
