Yilan Company is considering adding a new product. The cost accountant has provided the following data.
Expected variable cost of manufacturing $ 50 per unit
Expected annual fixed manufacturing costs $ 92,000
The administrative vice president has provided the following estimates.
Expected sales commission $ 4 per unit
Expected annual fixed administrative costs $ 48,000
The manager has decided that any new product must at least break even in the first year.
Required:
Use the equation method and consider each requirement separately.
a. If the sales price is set at $74, how many units must Yilan sell to break even?
b. Yilan estimates that sales will probably be 10,000 units. What sales price per unit will allow the company to break even?
c. Yilan has decided to advertise the product heavily and has set the sales price at $78. If sales are 8,000 units, how much can the company spend on advertising and still break even?
Answer:
Following are the responses to the given choices:
Explanation:
In point a:
[tex]\text{Break even point} ( in \ units ) =\frac{Fixed\ cost}{contribution}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{140000}{20}\\\\=7000 \ units[/tex]
In point b:
[tex]\text{Breakeven point selling prices = unit variable costs + unit fixed cost of 10,000 units}[/tex]
[tex]=\$ 54 +\$ 14 \\\\= \$ 68[/tex]
[tex]\text{Breakeven point selling prices = unit variable costs + unit fixed cost of 10,000 units}[/tex]
[tex]=\$54 +\$ 14\\\\=\$ 68[/tex]
Claim of work

The Krisp Kracker company which makes unique kettle chips for restaurants, clubs, and events, has just lost a large client that made up 55% of its total revenue. Management finds it necessary to reduce staff or wages. This comes only three months after hiring 35 new people to support this big client. While there are rumors of wage reductions in the short run, the 100 employees who have been with the company for the past two years are grumbling that they are more valuable that the new hires which should be let go and the wages not reduced. The situation at Krisp Kracker illustrates which wage stickiness theory best
Answer:
The Krisp Kracker Company
The situation at Krisp Kracker illustrates the Insider-Outsider Wage Stickiness theory best.
Explanation:
This theory suggests that the 100 employees are the insiders while the 35 newly employed are outsiders. Therefore, at negotiations between the employer and the employees, the 100 employees would also like to negotiate employment terms to the exclusion of the outsiders because they feel that they enjoy a juicier and more privileged position.

A competitive firm sells its output for $50 per unit. Assume that labor is the only input that varies for the firm. The marginal product of the 10th worker is 10 units of output per day; the marginal product of the 11th worker is 8 units of output per day. The firm pays its workers a wage of $160 per day. For the 10th worker, the value of the marginal product of labor is
Answer:
the value of the marginal product of labor is $500
Explanation:
The computation of the value of the marginal product of labor is shown below:
= MRP × price per unit
= 10 units × $50 per unit
= $500
hence, the value of the marginal product of labor is $500
We simply applied the above formula
Sectoral shifts, frictional unemployment, and job searches Suppose the world price of cotton rises substantially. The demand for labor among cotton-producing firms in Texas will ________. The demand for labor among textile-producing firms in South Carolina, for which cotton is an input, will_________ . The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as ____________ unemployment. Suppose the government wants to reduce this type of unemployment. Which of the following policies would help achieve this goal?
a. Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies
b. Offering recipients of unemployment insurance benefits a cash bonus if they find a new job within a specified number of weeks
c. Increasing the benefits offered to unemployed workers through the government's unemployment insurance program
Answer:
increase
decrease
frictional unemployment
a, b
Explanation:
Frictional unemployment . the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
As a result of the increase in price of cotton, the profit of making cotton would increase. So the production of cotton would increase and more labour would be needed
the cost of production for cotton producing firms would increase and this would discourage production. The demand for labour would increase
the government can reduce frictional unemployment by having policies that reduce the job search period and would incentivise labour to get employed quickly
Aflak Corporation, an Omani firm, is currently planning goods market in India. Aflak Corporation will most likely discover that_____ beliefs and values are more open to change in India. Select one:
a. core
b. traditional
c. primary
d. secondary
The correct answer is B) traditional.
Aflak Corporation, an Omani firm, is currently planning goods market in India. Aflak Corporation will most likely discover that traditional beliefs and values are more open to change in India.
When a multinational company is planning on initiating operations in another country, it has to be very sensible of the traditional values of that country. The company is getting into a new market and people could have different belief systems, different culture, traditions, and customs, that need to be carefully assessed by the multinational company if they are about to be successful in the new country.
This is the case of India, which has always have very strict traditional values, although younger generations are relaxing those values in recent years.
Suppose at December 31 of a recent year, the following information (in thousands) was available for sunglasses manufacturer Oakley Inc.: ending inventory $170,000; beginning inventory $125,000; cost of goods sold $351,050 and sales revenue $761,000.
a. Calculate the inventory turnover for Oakley, Inc.
b. Calculate the days in inventory for Oakley, Inc.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The inventory turnover is
= Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $351,050 ÷ ($170,000 + $125,000) ÷ 2
= $351,050 ÷ $147,500
= 2.38 times
b. Now days in inventory is
= 365 ÷ inventory turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 2.38 times
= 153.36 days
Huduko Inc. offers a number of computer services. Huduko operates with a utilization of 30 percent. The interarrival time of jobs is 8 milliseconds (0.008 second) with a coefficient of variation of 1.5. On average, there are 20 jobs waiting in the queue to be served and 60 jobs in process (i.e., being processed by a server rather than waiting to be sent to a server for processing).
Required:
How many servers do they have in this system?
Answer:
Huduko Inc.
The number of servers in this system is:
= 200.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Utilization rate = 30%
Interarrival time of jobs = 8 milliseconds (0.008)
Coefficient of variation = 1.5
Average jobs waiting in the queue to be served = 20
Number of jobs in process = 60
Number of servers processing the 60 jobs = 60
Since the number of servers processing at a time is 60 with a utilization rate of 30%, it means that there are 200 servers in the system (60/30%).

Which of the following statements are true?
a. Pellegrini Southern Corporation has less liquidity but also a greater reliance on outside cash flow to finance its short-term obligations than Jing Foodstuffs Corporation.
b. If a company’s current liabilities are increasing faster than its current assets, the company’s liquidity position is weakening.
c. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations.
d. Pellegrini Southern Corporation has a better ability to meet its short-term liabilities than Jing Foodstuffs Corporation.
e. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving.
Answer:
b. If a company’s current liabilities are increasing faster than its current assets, the company’s liquidity position is weakening. TRUE
higher liabilities respect to current assets, decrease the company's ability to meet its short term payments
c. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations. TRUE
the current ratio = current assets / current liabilities
the quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities
the difference between both shows the dependence on selling inventory to pay off debts.
e. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving. TRUE

In 2019 a 90% owned subsidiary had $60,000 of unrealized gains on intercompany sales to its parent. In 2020 the subsidiary sold $200,000 of goods to its parent and had $30,000 of unrealized gains. In 2020 parent reports Cost of Goods Sold of $4,000,000 and sub reports Cost of Goods Sold of $1,000,000. How much is Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold
Answer:
Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold is $4,970,000.
Explanation:
A 90% owned subsidiary presents a controlling interest and consolidated financial statements must be prepared by the Parent company.
In preparing consolidated financial statements, any transactions between the parent and subsidiary (Intragroup transactions) must be eliminated.
At Beginning of the year
Recognize the unrealized gains on intercompany sales as follows ;
Debit : Retained Earnings $60,000
Credit : Cost of Sales $60,000
During the year 2020
Eliminate unrealized gains on intercompany sales as follows
Debit : Cost of Sales $30,000
Credit : Inventory $30,000
Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold
To determine the Cost of Goods Sold add 100 % of Parent and 100% of Subsidiary and also remember to effect the journals above as follows :
Cost of Goods Sold = $4,000,000 + $1,000,000 - $60,000 + $30,000
= $4,970,000
Conclusion
Therefore, Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold is $4,970,000.

ABC estimates uncollectible accounts based on the percentage of accounts receivable. What effect will recording the estimate of uncollectible accounts have on the accounting equation
Answer: Decrease assets and decrease stockholders' equity
Explanation:
If ABC estimates the uncollectible accounts based on the percentage of accounts receivable, the effect that the recording of the estimate of the uncollectible accounts will have on the accounting equation is that there will be a decrease in assets and there'll also be a decrease in the stockholders' equity.
We should note that the accounts uncollectible simply refers to the loans, receivables or other forms of debt that there's no chance of it being paid. Therefore, when they are estimated based on the percentage of accounts receivable, there'll be a reduction in both the assets and the stockholders equity.

Explanation:
Computation to determine the amount that Swifty will realize from the sale
First step is to calculate the annual interest payment
Annual interest payment=$5,100,000 × .07
Annual interest payment=$357,000
Now let calculate the amount that Swifty will realize from the sale
Sales realized amount=($347,000 × 6.1446) + ($5,100,000 × 0.3855)
Sales realized amount=$2,193,622+ $1,966,050
Sales realized amount =$4,159,672
Therefore the amount that Swifty will realize from the sale will be $4,159,672
Snappy Company has a job-order costing system and uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Manufacturing overhead cost and direct labor hours were estimated at $54,400 and 32,000 hours, respectively, for the year. In July, Job #334 was completed at a cost of $2,736 in direct materials and $1,664 in direct labor. The labor rate is $5.20 per hour. By the end of the year, Snappy had worked a total of 37,000 direct labor-hours and had incurred $64,650 actual manufacturing overhead cost. If Job #334 contained 120 units, the unit product cost on the completed job cost sheet would be:
Answer:
Unitary cost= $41.2
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (54,400/32,000)
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.7 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Direct labor hours= 1,664 / 5.2= 320
Allocated MOH= 1.7*320= $544
Finally, the total cost and unitary cost:
Total cost= 544 + 1,664 + 2,736
Total cost= $4,944
Unitary cost= 4,944 / 120
Unitary cost= $41.2
Consider relative purchasing power parity (PPP) and remember the consumer price index (CPI) provides the price level in a country at any point in time. Assume CPI in the US is 165 in 2010 and 200 in 2015, and CPI in Canada is 170 in 2010 and 220 in 2015 (with base year as 2000). If the spot exchange rate was 0.7640 USD/CAD in 2010, what is it in 2015 if relative PPP holds
Answer:
0.7156 USD/CAD
Explanation:
Relationship between relative PPP and inflation rates can be expressed as given below:
S(1)/S(0) = (1+I(y)) / (1+I(x))................(1)
==> S(0) = spot exchange rate at the beginning of the time period
==> S(1) = spot exchange rate at the end of the time period
==> I(y) = expected inflation rate for country y, which is foreign country
==> I(x) = expected inflation rate for country x, which is domestic country.
Here, assumes that the US is a foreign country and Canada is domestic country
I(y) = (200/165) - 1 = 21.21%
I(x) = (220/170) - 1 = 29.41%
On putting the values of I(x) and I(y) in the first equation, we get:
S(1)/0.764 = (1+0.2121) / (1+0.2941)
S(1)/0.764 = 0.9366354996
S(1) = 0.764*0.936635
S(1) = 0.7156 USD/CAD
If relative PPP holds, the spot exchange rate in 2015 will be 0.7156 USD/CAD
Boehm Incorporated is expected to pay a $1.10 per share dividend at the end of this year (i.e., D1 = $1.10). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% a year. The required rate of return on the stock, rs, is 15%. What is the estimated value per share of Boehm's stock? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $
Answer:
$10
Explanation:
The dividend is $1.10
The constant rate is 4%
The required rate of return in the stock is 15%
Therefore the estimated value per share can be calculated as follows
= 1.10(0.15-0.04)
= 1.10/(0.11)
= $10
Hence the estimated valuee is $10

Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete an the data in its are merged together. The complete question with the sorted data are therefore provided as follows:
Question 1: Sales price variance, sales volume variance, and fixed cost variance
Budgeted Actual
Price $300 $350
Sales volume in units 80 75
Unit VC $100 $120
Fixed costs $100,000 $120,000
a) Without computations, characterize the following variances as favorable or unfavorable:
sales price variance F U
sales volume variance F U
fixed cost variance F U
b) Compute the following variances. Enter favorable variances as a positive number and unfavorable variances as a negative number. Do NOT enter F or U after the number.
sales price variance
sales volume variance F U
fixed cost variance
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
a) Without computations, characterize the following variances as favorable or unfavorable:
a-1 Sales price variance F U
When the Actual price is greater than the Budgeted price, Sales price variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual price is less than the Budgeted price, Sales price variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual price is greater than the Budgeted price in this question, the Sales price variance is favorable (F).
a-2 Sales volume variance F U
When the Actual sales volume in units is greater than the Budgeted sales volume in units, Sales volume variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual sales volume in units is less than the Budgeted sales volume in units, Sales volume variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual sales volume in units is less than the Budgeted sales volume in units in this question, the Sales volume variance is unfavorable (U).
a-3 Fixed cost variance F U
When the Actual Fixed costs is less than the Budgeted Fixed costs, Fixed costs variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual Fixed costs is greater than the Budgeted Fixed costs, Fixed costs variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual Fixed costs is greater than the Budgeted Fixed costs in this question, the Fixed costs variance is unfavorable (U).
b) Compute the following variances. Enter favorable variances as a positive number and unfavorable variances as a negative number. Do NOT enter F or U after the number.
b-1 Calculation of sales price variance
This can be calculated as follows:
Sales price variance = (Actual price - Budgeted price) * Actual sales volume in units = ($350 - $300) * 75 = $3,750
b-2 Calculation of sales volume variance
This can be calculated as follows:
Sales volume variance = (Actual sales volume in units - Budgeted sales volume in units) * Budgeted price = (75 - 80) * $300 = -$1,500
b-3 Calculation of fixed cost variance
Fixed cost variance = Actual fixed costs - Budgeted fixed costs = $120,00 - $100,000 = -$20,000

Applied overheads = 1000 x $31.00 = $31,000
manufacturing overhead should be applied to Job A15 are $31,000
Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 12% and a standard deviation of 39%. The T-bill rate is 6%A client prefers to invest in your portfolio a proportion (y) that maximizes the expected return on the overall portfolio subject to the constraint that the overall portfolio's standard deviation will not exceed 30%. a. What is the investment proportion, y
Answer:
y = 0.76923076923 or 76.923076923% rounded off to 76.92%
So, 76.92% of the portfolio should be invested in risky portfolio.
Explanation:
The portfolio standard deviation for a portfolio consisting of two securities with one of them being the risk free security is calculated by multiplying the standard deviation of the risky security by the weightage of investment in the risky security as a proportion of the overall investment in portfolio. The formula can be written as follows,
Portfolio STDEV = Weight of Risky Asset * STDEV of risky asset
30% = y * 39%
30% / 39% = y
y = 0.76923076923 or 76.923076923% rounded off to 76.92%
