Explanation:
On the basis of the following production possibilities tables for two countries, North Cantina and South Cantina.
North Cantina Production Possibilities
A B C D E F
Capital Goods 5 4 3 2 1 0
Consumer Goods 0 10 18 24 28 30
South Cantina Production Possibilities
A B C D E F
Capital Goods 5 4 3 2 1 0
Consumer Goods 0 8 15 21 25 27
Refer to the tables. Suppose that resources in North Cantina and South Cantina are identical in quantity and quality. We can conclude that:_____.
A. North Cantina has better technology than South Cantina in producing consumer goods but not capital goods.
B. South Cantina has better technology than North Cantina in producing both capital and consumer goods.
C. North Cantina has better technology than South Cantina in producing both capital and consumer goods.
D. North Cantina is growing more rapidly than South Cantina.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.
The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.
To determine which country has a better technology in production, the opportunity cost has to be calculated. The country with the lower opportunity cost has the better technology
At point B for North Cantina:
The opportunity cost of producing one 4 units of capital good = 10/4 = 2.5 units of consumer goods
The opportunity cost of producing 10 units of consumer good = 4/10 = 0.4 units of capital goods
At point B for South Cantina
The opportunity cost of producing one 4 units of capital good = 8/4 = 2units of consumer goods
The opportunity cost of producing 8 units of consumer good = 4/8 = 0.5 units of capital goods
South Cantina has a lower opportunity cost in the production of capital goods while North Cantina has a lower opportunity cost in the production of consumer goods
A firm is about to undertake the manufacture of a product, and it is weighing the process configuration options. There are two intermittent processes under consideration, as well as a repetitive focus. The smaller intermittent process has fixed costs of $3,000 per month and variable costs of $10 per unit. The larger intermittent process has fixed costs of $11,000 per month and variable costs of $5 per unit. A repetitive focus plant has fixed costs of $41,000 per month and variable costs of $1 per unit.
Required:
a. At what output does the large intermittent process become cheaper than the small one?
b. At what output does the repetitive process become cheaper than the larger intermittent process?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Using this formula
Fixed cost of process B - fixed cost of process A ÷ unit variable cost of process A - unit variable cost of process B
a. Fixed cost = $11,000
Fixed cost = $3,000
Unit variable = $10
Unit variable = $5
Hence:
= ($11,000 - $3,000) / ($10 - $5)
= $7,000 / $5
= $1,400
This means that the larger intermittent process becomes cheaper than the small one by $1,400
b. Fixed cost = $41,000
Fixed cost = $11,000
Unit variable = $5
Unit variable = $1
= ($41,000 - $11,000) / ($5 - $1)
= $30,000 / $4
= $7,500
This means that the repetitive process become cheaper than the larger intermittent process by $7,500

Hughes Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 22 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 5 percent thereafter. If the required return is 12 percent and the company just paid a $2.35 dividend, what is the current share price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Answer: $53.94
Explanation:
Current share price is the present value of the dividends for the next 3 years and the terminal value in year 3.
Terminal value = D₄ / ( required return - growth rate)
= (2.35 * 1.22³ * 1.05) / (12 % - 5%)
= $64
D₁ = 2.35 * 1.22 = $2.867
D₂ = 2.867 * 1.22 = $3.49774
D₃ = 3.49774 * 1.22 = $4.2672428
Share price = (2.867 / (1 + 12%)) + (3.49774 / 1.12²) + (4.2672428 / 1.12³) + (64/1.12³)
= $53.94
The following materials standards have been established for a particular product: Standard quantity per unit of output 6.0 meters Standard price $ 19.00 per meter The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual materials purchased 10,200 meters Actual cost of materials purchased $ 201,500 Actual materials used in production 9600 meters Actual output 1580 units What is the materials price variance for the month
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
First, we have to compute the actual price
Actual price = Actual cost of material purchased × Actual material purchased
= $201,500 ÷ 10,200 metres
= $19.75
Therefore,
Material price variance
= Actual quantity × (Actual price - Standard price)
= 10,200 × ($19.75 - $19)
= 10,200 × $0.75
= $7,650 favourable

a. 2 : 1
b. 2.64 : 1
c. 2 : 1
d. 3 : 1
Answer:
b. 2.64 : 1
Explanation:
Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities
Current assets = Cash + Account Receivables + Inventory + Prepaid insurance
Current assets = $65500 + $93000 + $148000 + $87500
Current assets = $394,000
Current liabilities = Accounts payable + Salaries and wages payable
Current liabilities = $131500 + $17500
Current liabilities = $149,000
Hence, Current ratio = $394,000/$149,000
Current ratio = 2.644295
Current ratio = 2.64 : 1
Imagine that two goods are available to you: hamburgers (X) and hot dogs (Y). You like hamburgers and hot dogs equally well. If your fast food budget is $50 per month, the price of hamburgers is $6 per unit, and the price of hot dogs is $4 per unit, what is your optimal consumption of hot dogs
Answer:
5
Explanation:
The budget constraint = 6h + 4hd = 50
h = hamburger
hd = hot dogs
because you like both goods equally, the optimal consumption of hot dogs = 50 / 10 = 5
Adams Company manufactures two products. The budgeted per-unit contribution margin for each product follows: Super Supreme Sales price $ 95 $ 124 Variable cost per unit (58 ) (74 ) Contribution margin per unit $ 37 $ 50 Adams expects to incur annual fixed costs of $227,880. The relative sales mix of the products is 60 percent for Super and 40 percent for Supreme. Required Determine the total number of products (units of Super and Supreme combined) Adams must sell to break even. How many units each of Super and Supreme must Adams sell to break even
Answer:
Expected contribution as per sales mix = $37*0.60 + $50*0.40
= $22.20 + $20
= $42.20 per unit
Total number of products in total at break even point = Total fixed cost / Contribution per unit
= $227,880 / $42.20 per unit
= 5,400 units
How many units each of Super and Supreme must Adams sell to break even?
According to sales mix:
Super = 5,400 * 60% = 3,240 units
Supreme = 5,400 * 40% = 2,160 units.

The Thomlin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $11,415,000 with 180,000 total machine hours. Year to date, the actual overhead is $7,948,000 and the actual machine hours are 88,000 hours. If the Thomlin Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours for applying overhead, as of this point in time (year to date), the overhead is Round the factory overhead rate to the nearest dollar before multiplying by the number of hours.
a. $1,000,000 over
b. $1,000,000 under
c. $500,000 over
d. $500,000
Answer:
Underapplied overhead = $2,367,040
Explanation:
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overhead / Estimated activity
Predetermined overhead rate = $11,415,000 / 180,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $63.42 per MH
Applied overhead = Actual activity * Overhead rate
Applied overhead = 88,000 * $63.42 per MH
Applied overhead = $5,580,960
Overapplied/ (underapplied) = Actual overhead - Applied overhead
Underapplied overhead = $7,948,000 - $5,580,960
Underapplied overhead = $2,367,040
chager Company purchased a computer system on January 1, 2019, at a cash cost of $25,000. The estimated useful life is 10 years, and the estimated residual value is $3,000. The company will use the double declining-balance depreciation method. What is the accumulated depreciation balance as of December 31, 2020? $9,000. $4,000. $7,920. $8,520.
Answer:
Accumulated depreciation= $7,920
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Buyng price= $25,000
Salvage value= $3,000
Number of years= 10
To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
2019:
Annual depreciation= [(25,000 - 3,000) / 10]*2
Annual depreciation= $4,400
2020:
Annual depreciation= [(22,000 - 4,400) / 10]*2
Annual depreciation= $3,520
Accumulated depreciation= $7,920

The Field Detergent Company sold merchandise to the Abel Company on June 30, 2016. Payment was made in the form of a noninterest-bearing note requiring Abel to pay $85,000 on June 30, 2018. Assume that a 10% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.
Required: Calculate the amount at which Field should record the note receivable and corresponding sales revenue on June 30, 2016.
Answer:
$70,248
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount at which Field should record the note receivable and corresponding sales revenue on June 30, 2016
Using financial calculator to determine the PV of Note
Using this formula
PV of Note = Future value x PVF (i%, n)
Where,
Future value=85,000
n=2 year(2016-2018)
i= 10%
Let plug in the formula
PV Note= 85,000 x PVF (10%, 2)
PV Note= 85,000 x 0.82645
PV Note= $70,248
Therefore the amount at which Field should record the note receivable and corresponding sales revenue on June 30, 2016 is $70,248
Which one of the following statements is correct concerning the relationship between a levered and an unlevered capital structure? Assume there are no taxes.
a. At the break-even point, there is no advantage to debt.
b. The earnings per share will equal zero when EBIT is zero for a levered firm.
c. The advantages of leverage are inversely related to the level of EBIT.
d. The use of leverage at any level of EBIT increases the EPS.
e. EPS are more sensitive to changes in EBIT when a firm is unlevered
Answer:
a. At the break-even point, there is no advantage to debt.
Explanation:
In the case when we concerned about the relationship between the levered and an unlevered capital structure also there is no taxes so the statement i.e. correct is at the break even point we dont have an advantage with respect to the debt
Therefore the first option is correct
The statement about the relationship between a levered and an unlevered capital structure is valid in that debt has no advantage at the break-even point.
What is a break-even point?Break-even point is the market condition where there is no profit and no loss to the company.
Here, the total revenue and the total cost of the firm equals.
When it comes to the relationship between a levered and an unlevered capital structure, there are no taxes, hence the statement, i.e., correct, is that at the break-even point, we don't have a debt advantage.
Therefore, option A is correct.

Grant Industries, a manufacturer of electronic parts, has recently received an invitation to bid on a special order for 20,500 units of one of its most popular products. Grant currently manufactures 41,000 units of this product in its Loveland, Ohio, plant. The plant is operating at 50% capacity. There will be no marketing costs on the special order. The sales manager of Grant wants to set the bid at $13 because she is sure that Grant will get the business at that price. Others on the executive committee of the firm object, saying that Grant would lose money on the special order at that price.
Units 41,000 61,500
Manufacturing costs:
Direct materials $123,000 $184,500
Direct labor 164,000 246,000
Factory overhead 328,000 430,500
Total manufacturing costs$615,000 $861,000
Unit cost $15 $14
Required:
1. What is the relevant cost per unit and the bid price?
2. What would the total opportunity cost be if by accepting the special order the company lost sales of 6,500 units to its regular customers?
Answer:
Missing word "What would the total opportunity cost be if by accepting the special order the company lost sales of 6,500 units to its regular customers? Assume the above facts plus a normal selling price of $24 per unit."
Variable factory overhead per unit = (430,500 - 328,000) / 20,500 = $5
Direct materials per unit = $123,000 / 41,000 = $3
Direct labor per unit = 164,000 / 41,000 = $4
1. Relevant cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable factory overhead
Relevant cost per unit = $5 + $4 + $3
Relevant cost per unit = $12
So, the bid price should be above $10 per unit
2. Total opportunity cost would be the total contribution margin lost for the lost sales to the regular customer
Total opportunity cost = Loss of regular sales revenue - Total relevant cost for lost sales
Total opportunity cost = (6,500*$24) - (6,500*$12)
Total opportunity cost = $156,000 - $78,000
Total opportunity cost = $78,000
1. The relevant cost per unit for Grant Industries is $7.00 ($123,000 + $164,000)/41,000 or ($184,500 + $246,000)/61,500.
2. The total opportunity cost of accepting the special order when the company lost sales of 6,500 units from its regular customers is $12,500.
What are the relevant costs and opportunity costs?The relevant costs describe the avoidable costs that could be stopped if a decision is taken.
For example, if Grant Industries decides to take the special order, the relevant decision-making cost is $7 per unit and not $14 per unit.
The opportunity costs are costs that are not incurred based on taking an alternative decision. It also describes the lost revenue when some sales are lost for the special order.
For example, the total opportunity costs incurred by Grant Industries for taking the special order instead of attending to the regular customers with 6,500 units demand is $12,500.
Data and Calculations:Special order = 20,500 units
Current production = 41,000 units
Current operational capacity = 50%
Total capacity = 82,000 (41,000/50%)
Bid price = $13 per unit
New production based on special order = 61,500 (41,000 + 20,500)
Production Data Per Unit Per Bid
Units 41,000 61,500
Manufacturing costs:
Direct materials $123,000 $184,500
Direct labor 164,000 246,000
Factory overhead 328,000 430,500
Total manufacturing costs $615,000 $861,000
Unit cost $15 $14
Question 2 Completion:Assume the above facts plus a normal selling price of $24 per unit."
The opportunity cost of lost sales:Lost sales units = 6,500
Contribution per unit = $17 ($24 - $7)
Total contribution margin = $110,500 ($6,500 x $17)
Contribution margin from special order = $123,000 ($13 - $7 x 20,500)
Thus, the opportunity cost of lost sales is $12,500 ($123,000 - $110,500).

Prior to May 1, Fortune Company has never had any treasury stock transactions. A company repurchased 130 shares of its common stock on May 1 for $6,500. On July 1, it reissued 65 of these shares at $53 per share. On August 1, it reissued the remaining treasury shares at $48 per share. What is the balance in the Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock account on August 2
Answer:
Fortune Company
There is a balance of ($65) in the Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock account on August 2.
However, this balance will be transferred to the Additional Paid-in Capital account at year-end, since there are no outstanding shares for the Treasury Stock account.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
May 1 Repurchase of 130 shares (Treasury Stock) = $6,500
July 1 Reissue of 65 shares at $53 per share = (3,445)
August 1 Reissue of 65 shares at $48 per share = (3,120)
August 2, Balance in the Paid-in Capital = ($65)
b) The Treasury Stock account is a contra Paid-in Capital account which records transactions involving the repurchase and reissue of treasury shares. Treasury shares represent the company's own shares which are repurchased from its investors.
Plant-wide, department, and activity-cost rates. Acclaim Inc. makes two styles of trophies, basic and deluxe, and operates at capacity. Acclaim does large custom orders. Acclaim budgets to produce 10,000 basic trophies and 5,000 deluxe trophies. Manufacturing takes place in two production departments: forming and assembly. In the forming department, indirect manufacturing costs are accumulated in two cost pools, setup and general overhead. In the assembly department, all indirect manufacturing costs are accumulated in one general overhead cost pool. The basic trophies are formed in batches of 200 but be-cause of the more intricate detail of the deluxe trophies, they are formed in batches of 50.
The controller has asked you to compare plant-wide, department, and activity-based cost allocation.

Required:
a. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies based on a single plant-wide overhead rate, if total overhead is allocated based on total direct (Don't forget to include direct material and direct manufacturing labor cost in your unit cost calculation.)
b. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies based on departmental overhead rates, where forming department overhead costs are allocated based on direct manufacturing labor costs of the forming department and assembly department overhead costs are allocated based on total direct manufacturing labor costs of the assembly department
c. Calculate the budgeted unit cost of basic and deluxe trophies if Acclaim allocates overhead costs in each department using activity-based costing, where setup costs are allocated based on number of batches and general overhead costs for each department are allocated based on direct manufacturing labor costs of each department.
d. Explain briefly why plant-wide, department, and activity-based costing systems show different costs for the basic and deluxe trophies. Which system would you recommend and why?
Answer:
Acclaim Inc.
Basic Trophies Deluxe Trophies
Budgeted unit cost:
a. using single-plant o/h rate $17.60 $28.80
b. using departmental rates $17.42 $29.16
c. using ABC $18.26 $27.48
d. They show different costs because the overhead rates are based on different parameters.
I recommend ABC system. It is more fair because the overhead rates are based on product line's activity usage instead of an arbitrary figure.

The market for apples is in equilibrium at a price of $0.50 per pound. If the government imposes a price ceiling in the market at $0.40 per pound: a. the price ceiling will not affect the market price or output. b. quantity supplied will increase. c. there will be a shortage of the good. d. quantity demanded will decrease.
Answer:
c. there will be a shortage of the good.
Explanation:
The market for apples is in equilibrium at a price of $0.50 per pound. If the government imposes a price ceiling in the market at a price of $0.40 per pound: c. there will be a shortage of the good.
The correct answer is - c. there will be a shortage of the good.
Reason -
At the equilibrium price, the demand = supply
If the price is increased by the equilibrium price then, there are more customers(i.e. quantity demanded is increase ) and there is shortage of goods (i.e quantity supplied will decrease)
So, the correct option is - c. there will be a shortage of the good.
Rusty has been experiencing serious financial problems. His annual salary was $100,000, but a creditor garnished his salary for $20,000; so the employer paid the creditor (rather than Rusty) the $20,000. To prevent creditors from attaching his investments, Rusty gave his investments to his 21-year-old daughter, Rebecca. Rebecca received $5,000 in dividends and interest from the investments during the year. Rusty transferred some cash to a Swiss bank account that paid him $6,000 interest during the year. Rusty did not withdraw the interest from the Swiss bank account. Rusty also hid some of his assets in his wholly owned corporation that received $150,000 rent income but had $160,000 in related expenses, including a $20,000 salary paid to Rusty. Rusty reasons that his gross income should be computed as follows:
Salary received $80,000
Loss from rental property ($150,000-$160,000) (10,000)
Gross income $70,000
Compute rustys correct gross income for the year, and explain any differences between your calculation and rusty
Answer:
Rusty annual salary was $100,000.
Rusty will not be taxed on the interest and dividend amount of $5,000 as Rebecca is the owner of the assets that is producing this income.
Secondly, Rusty will also need to report the $6,000 interest income. This has to be reported even though it has not been withdrawn.
Thirdly, he received $20,000 as salary from his wholly owned corporation.
Salary from employer $100,000
Salary from wholly owned corporation $20,000
Dividends and interest from the investments $0
Interest from Swiss bank account $6,000
Rental loss incurred $0
Gross income $126,000
