Answer:$6,843.33=Depreciation
Explanation:
To Calculate the depreciation expense for the company
Net income = Dividends + Addition to retained earnings
Net income = $3,320 + 7,500
Net income = $10,820
Also,
Net income = Taxable income - (Taxable income)(Tax rate)
Net income = Taxable income(1 - Tax rate)
Therefore,
Taxable income = Net income / (1 - Tax rate)
Taxable income = $10,820 / (1 - 0.25
Taxable income = $10,820/0.75 =14,426.67
But
EBIT -interest = taxable income,So
EBIT = Taxable income + Interest
EBIT = $14,426.67+3,030
EBIT = 17,456.67
EBIT = Sales - Costs - Depreciation
$17,456.67 = $82000 - 57,700 - Depreciation
$17,456.67= 24,300-Deprecistion
Depreciation =24,300-17456.67 =
$6,843.33
CDB stock is currently priced at $80. The company will pay a dividend of $4.57 next year and investors require a return of 10.8 percent on similar stocks. What is the dividend growth rate on this stock
Answer:
The answer is 5.09%
Explanation:
The model used in this question is the Dividend Discount Model and it is one of the methods used in determining the price of stock. Here, the price of stock had already been determined. We are looking for one of the variables (growth rate) used in determining the price.
The formula for determining price of stock is:
Po = D1/r - g
Where Po is the price of stock
D1 is the dividend for next year
r is the rate of return
g is the dividend growth rate
$80 = $4.57/0.108 - g
Cross multiply:
8.64 - 80g = 4.57
80g = 8.64 - 4.57
80g = 4.07
g = 4.07/80
g =0.05088
g = 5.09%

As a firm's sales grow, its current assets also tend to increase. For instance, as sales increase, the firm's inventories generally increase, and purchases of inventories result in more accounts payable. Thus, spontaneous liabilities that reduce AFN arise from transactions brought on by sales increases. True or false?
Answer: True
Explanation:
Current assets are the assets that a company had and which are expected to be either used or sold over the next year. Examples of current assets are cash, cash equivalents, stock inventory, accounts receivable, marketable securities, and other liquid assets.
It should be noted that when the sales of a from continue to grow, the current assets of such company also increases. An example is when there is an increase in the sales increase, this.will also have an impact on the firm's inventories as there will be an increase.
Classical economists contend that official measures of unemployment: Multiple Choice understate the problem due to the existence of discouraged workers. overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary. understate the problem due to involuntary part-time employment. overstate the problem because most unemployment is cyclical.
Answer: overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary.
Explanation:
Unemployment is a term that is used to refer to individuals who are looking for job but can not find a job.
Classical economists contend that official measures of unemployment
overstate the problem because most unemployment is voluntary.
According to the Classical economists, there is increase in employment because those seeking employment do not want to work for lower wages but will rather wait for high paying jobs and this therefore leads to overstating of the unemployment rate.
Tom and Suri decide to take a worldwide cruise. To do so, they need to save $15,000. They plan to invest $2,500 at the end of each year for the next six years to earn 9% compounded annually. Calculate the future value of the investment. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $18,808.25
Explanation:
There is a constant cashflow of $2,500 making this an annuity.
The future value of the $2,500 paid every year for 6 years at 9% will be;
Future value of Annuity = 2,500 * Future Value of Annuity factor, 6 periods, 9%) (refer to attached table)
= 2,500 * 7.5233
= $18,808.25
The future value of the amount is more than the amount they would require.
Angus Company agreed to sell goods for Longhorn Company on consignment, but wasn't willing to take ownership of the goods in case they were difficult to sell. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Angus owns the inventory and should report It on its balance snoot.
B. Long hum owns the inventory but should not report it on its balance sheet because Angus actually holds the inventory
C. Angus owns the inventory since possession is nineteenths of the law. but should not report it on its balance sheet.
D. Longhorn owns the inventory and should report it on its balance sheet.
Answer: D. Longhorn owns the inventory and should report it on its balance sheet.
Explanation:
Goods to be sold on consignment for a company means a company is selling goods for another company and will be paid for their services.
In that case, the company being sold for will retain the ownership of the goods because the company that is selling it for them is simply providing a service.
Angus in this scenario are simply holding the goods to sell it and so do not own the goods. Longhorn should therefore record it in their own books as inventory.
Raven Corporation owns three machines that it uses in its business. It no longer needs two of these machines and is considering distributing them to its two shareholders as a property dividend. All three machines have a fair market value of $20,000 each. Their basis is as follows: Machine A, $27,000; Machine B, $20,000; and Machine C, $12,000. The corporation has asked you for advice.
A. If Raven distributes Machine A, the result will be a_______loss of $_______.
B. If Raven distributes Machine B, the result will be_______of $______.
C. If Raven distributes Machine C, the result will be a______of $______.
D. Therefore, to________on Machine A, Raven should consider______Machine A. Raven should consider distributing Machine B because there will be______on the distribution. To______on Machine C, Raven should consider_______Machine C.
Answer:
A.If Raven distributes Machine A, the result will be a NONDEDUCTIBLE LOSS of $7,000
B. If Raven distributes Machine B, the result will be NO GAIN OR LOSS OF $0
C. If Raven distributes Machine C, the result will be a TAXABLE GAIN of $8,000
D.Therefore to PRESERVE THE LOSS on Machine A, Raven should consider SELLING Machine A. Raven should consider distributing Machine B because there will be NO RECOGNIZED GAIN OR LOSS on the distribution. To AVOID RECOGNIZING THE GAIN on Machine C, Raven should consider NEITHER SELLING NOR DISTRIBUTING Machine C
Explanation:
A. If Raven distributes Machine A, the result will be a NONDEDUCTIBLE LOSS of $7,000
Calculation as
(20,000 – 27,000) =-$7,000

(20,000-20,000)=$0
C. If Raven distributes Machine C, the result will be a TAXABLE GAIN of $8,000
Calculated as:
(20,000-12,000)=$8,000
D.Therefore to PRESERVE THE LOSS on Machine A, Raven should consider SELLING Machine A. Raven should consider distributing Machine B because there will be NO RECOGNIZED GAIN OR LOSS on the distribution. To AVOID RECOGNIZING THE GAIN on Machine C, Raven should consider NEITHER SELLING NOR DISTRIBUTING Machine C
On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,800 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for four years and perform 200 concerts. It estimates that after four years it can sell the equipment for $2,000. During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts. Compute the first-year depreciation using the units-of-production method. g
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $14,355
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Original cost= $65,800
Number of units= 200
Salvage value= $2,000
During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts.
To calculate the annual depreciation under the units-of- production method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units operated
Annual depreciation= [(65,800 - 2,000)/200]*45
Annual depreciation= $14,355
PWD Incorporated is an Illinois corporation. It properly included, deducted, or excluded the following items on its federal tax return in the current year: Item Amount Federal Treatment Illinois income taxes $ 33,361 Deducted on federal return Indiana income taxes $ 18,480 Deducted on federal return Ohio Commercial Activity Tax $ 3,992 Deducted on federal return Illinois municipal bond interest $ 9,984 Excluded from federal return Indiana municipal bond interest $ 15,100 Excluded from federal return Federal T-note interest $ 2,492 Included on federal return PWD's federal taxable income was $104,000. Calculate PWD's Illinois state tax base.
Answer:
PWD's Illinois state tax base = $168,449
Explanation:
DATA
Illinois income taxes = $33,361
indiana income taxes = $18,480
Illinois municipal bond interest = $9,984
Indiana municipal bond interest = $15,100
Federal T-note interest = $2,492
Federal taxable income = $104,000
PWD's Tax Base = ?
Solution
PWD's Illinois Tax base can be calculated as follows
Formula
Illinois state tax base = Federal taxable income+Indiana income taxes+Illinois income taxes+Indiana municipal bond interest – federal t-note interest
Illinois state tax base = $104,000 + $18,480 + $33,361 + $15,100 - $2,492
PWD's Illinois state tax base = $168,449

Explanation:
The amount of cash paid for equipment=$272,300*(1-2%)=$266,854.00
The cash paid for freight on equipment is $11,410
The cash paid on freight would also be debited to the equipment's account since the cost of an asset includes the amount spent bringing it to its present location and condition .
Total cost of equipment =$266,854.00+$11,410.00
Keidis Industries will pay a dividend of $5.15, $6.25, and $7.45 per share for each of the next three years, respectively. In four years, you believe that the company will be acquired for $69.00 per share. The return on similar stocks is 11.4 percent. What is the current stock price
Answer:
The answer is $59.85
Explanation:
This question will be solved using the Dividend Discount Model. It is one of the valuation methods used in valuing price of Equity/stock.
Po = D1 + (1 + r)^n + D2 + (1 + r)^n + D2 + (1 + r)^n + CF4 /(1 + r)^n
Po is the current worth of stocks
D1, D2, D3 is the dividend paid in year 1, 2 and 3
CF4 is the price of the company in year 4
r is the discount rate
n is the number of years
$5.15 /1.114^1 + $6.25 /1.114^2 +$7.45/1.114^3 + $69/1.114^4
$4.62 + $5.04 + $5.39 + $44.80
Current price of the stock = $59.85
A company performing its long-lived asset impairment testing is reviewing the fair value of equipment. Each of the following valuation techniques may be appropriate for measuring the fair value of the equipment, except the:_______
a. Market approach.
b. Income approach.
c. Cost approach.
d. Net realizable value approach.
Answer:
d. Net realizable value approach.
Explanation:
An impairment usually arises when a company's asset (either intangible or fixed asset) overall future cash-flow ability (fair value) is lesser than its carrying value. This impairment of assets may be as a result of varying consumer demands, recession, damages, inflation or even a change in legal conditions.
For a long-lived asset, if its carrying value exceeds its fair value and isn't really recoverable, there's an impairment loss on the asset.
In the event that, a company performing its long-lived asset impairment testing is reviewing the fair value of equipment. Each of the following valuation techniques may be appropriate for measuring the fair value of the equipment;
1. Market approach: this measures and analyzes whether there's a decline in the market price of the asset.
2. Income approach: this determines if there were any operating or cash-flow losses on the asset.
3. Cost approach: this is an approach used to determine the level of cost associated with purchasing, maintaining and fabricating the asset.
Matthew (48 at year-end) develops cutting-edge technology for SV Inc., located in Silicon Valley. In 2018, Matthew participates in SV’s money purchase pension plan (a defined contribution plan) and in his company’s 401(k) plan. Under the money purchase pension plan, SV contributes 15 percent of an employee’s salary to a retirement account for the employee up to the amount limited by the tax code. Because it provides the money purchase pension plan, SV does not contribute to the employee’s 401(k) plan. Matthew would like to maximize his contribution to his 401(k) account after SV’s contribution to the money purchase plan.
a. Assuming Matthew's annual salary is $400,000, what amount will SV contribute to Matthew's money purchase plan? What can Matthew contribute to his 401(k) account in 2010?
b. Assuming Matthew's annual salary is S240,000, what amount will SV contribute to Matthew's money purchase plan? What can Matthew contribute to his 401(k) account in 2010?
c. Assuming Matthew's annual salary is $60,000, what amount will SV contribute to Matthew's money purchase plan? What amount can Matthew contribute to his 401(k) account in 2010?
d. Assume the same facts as c. except that Matthew is 54 years old at the end of 2010. What amount can Matthew contribute to his 401(k) account in 2010?
Answer:
Explanation:
The concept of 401 K plan refers to the taxation saving plan made by contributing a certain amount. An employer donation to his/her 401 K account can span between the range of $16,500 and $22000( for the aged from 50 and above). Also, for an employer and employee, contribution can be make into their 401 K account up to $49000 and $54000 for aged from 50 and above.
a. Assuming Matthew's annual salary is $400,000, what amount will SV contribute to Matthew's money purchase plan? What can Matthew contribute to his 401(k) account in 2010?
Given that;
Matthew is 48 years Old
His annual salary = $400,000
SV contributes 15 percent of an employee’s salary to a retirement account for the employee up to the amount limited by the tax code.
Thus;
15/100 × 400000 = 60000
However; from the tax code rule; people that are not up to age 50 and above are required to contribute $49000. So therefore; the employer will make a contribution of $49000 into Matthew's money purchase plan.
What can Matthew contribute to his 401(k) account in 2010?
He has exhausted his maximum contribution in 2010; as a result of that no contribution will be needed for that year , so he is contributing $0
b. Assuming Matthew's annual salary is $240,000, what amount will SV contribute to Matthew's money purchase plan? What can Matthew contribute to his 401(k) account in 2010?
Given that :
Matthew annual salary is $240,000
The SV contribution is 15% OF Matthew's annual salary = 15 /100 × 240,000= 36000
Since; Matthew is not up to 50 years; the maximum amount that can be deposited into his 401 K account is 49000
Thus;
SV contribution into Matthew's money purchase plan = $49000 -$36000
= $13,000
c. Assuming Matthew's annual salary is $60,000, what amount will SV contribute to Matthew's money purchase plan? What amount can Matthew contribute to his 401(k) account in 2010?
Given that :
Matthew annual salary is $60,000
The SV contribution is 15% OF Matthew's annual salary = 15 /100 × 60,000= 9000
Since; Matthew is not up to 50 years; the maximum amount that can be deposited into his 401 K account is 49000
Thus;
SV contribution into Matthew's money purchase plan = $49000 -$9000
= $40,000
d. Assume the same facts as c. except that Matthew is 54 years old at the end of 2010. What amount can Matthew contribute to his 401(k) account in 2010?
Here it is assumed that Matthew's age is 54 years, so we can say he is older than 50 years. Hence the amount that He can contribute into his 401 (k) account is = Allowed Contribution + Catch up contribution
The catch up contribution is the difference in the 401 (K) amount that can be deposited for people age above 50 and people aged below age 50
= $16500 + ( $54500 - $49000)
= $16500 + $5500
= $22,000
Hazel Morrison, a mutual fund manager, has a $40 million portfolio with a beta of 1.00. The risk-free rate is 4.25%, and the market risk premium is 6.00%. Hazel expects to receive an additional $60 million, which she plans to invest in additional stocks. After investing the additional funds, she wants the fund's required and expected return to be 13.00%. What must the average beta of the new stocks be to achieve the target required rate of return? a. 2.04 b. 1.68 c. 1.85 d. 1.76 e. 1.94
Answer:
The average beta of the new stocks would be 1.75 to achieve the target required rate of return
Explanation:
In order to calculate the average beta of the new stocks to achieve the target required rate of return we would have to calculate the following:
average beta of the new stocks = (Required Beta-(portfolio /total fund) *old beta)/(additional portfolio/total fund)
To calculate the Required Beta we would have to use the formula of Required rate of return as follows:
Required rate of return=Risk free return + (market risk premium)*beta
0.13=0.0425+(0.06*Required Beta)
Required Beta = (0.13-0.0425)/0.06
Required Beta = 1.45
Therefore, average beta of the new stocks =(1.45-($40/$100) *1)/($60/$100)
average beta of the new stocks =1.05/0.6
average beta of the new stocks =1.75
The average beta of the new stocks would be 1.75 to achieve the target required rate of return

Answer:
a:Total Variable Costs $26
a:Total Manufacturing Costs = $ 30
b:Net Income Variable Costing $100,000
b: Net Income Absorption Costing $ 100,000
Explanation:
Smuckers Manufacturers
Costs per case under Variable Costing
Direct materials per case 16
Direct labor per case 7
Variable manufacturing overhead per case 3
Total Variable Costs $26
Costs per case under Absorption Costing
Direct materials (30,000*16) 480,000
Direct labor (30,000*7) 210,000
Variable manufacturing overhead (30,000*3) 90,000
Total Variable Costs 780,000
Total fixed manufacturing overhead $120,000
Total Manufacturing Costs $ 900,000
Total Manufacturing Costs per Case= $ 900,000/ 30,000= $ 30
The difference between the variable and absorption costing is that the product costs include variable and fixed costs in absorption costing. But in variable costing the product costs include only variable costs.
SMUCKERS
Variable Costing Income Statement
For the Third Quarter of 2017
Sales (30,000*34) 1020,000
Direct materials (30,000*16) 480,000
Direct labor (30,000*7) 210,000
Variable manufacturing overhead (30,000*3) 90,000
Total Variable Costs 780,000
Contribution Margin 240,000
Fixed Expenses 140,000
Total fixed manufacturing overhead $120,000
Fixed selling and administrative 20,000
Net Income 100,000
In this case the net income under both variable and absorption costing does not change because the units produced are units sold. No cost is charged to ending inventory under absorption costing.

Super Carpeting Inc. (SCI) just paid a dividend (D₀) of $3.12 per share, and its annual dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate (g) of 6.50% per year. If the required return (r s ) on SCI’s stock is 16.25%, then the intrinsic value of SCI’s shares is
Answer:
Intrinsic Value = $33.23
Explanation:
The intrinsic value of a stock using the dividend valuation model is the present value of the the future dividend expected from the stock discounted at the required rate of return.
This model is represented as follows
D(1+g)/(r-g) = P
Price, D- dividend payable in now, ke- required rate of return, g- growth rate
D- 3.12 , g-6.50% r-6.25%
Intrinsic value = (3.12× 1.065)/(0.1625-0.065)= $33.228
Intrinsic Value = $33.23
E6-23 (similar to) Aunt Betty Bakery reported net sales revenue of $ 59 comma 000 and cost of goods sold of $ 17 comma 000. Compute Aunt Betty's correct gross profit if the company made either of the following independent accounting errors. a. Ending merchandise inventory is overstated by $ 4 comma 000. b. Ending merchandise inventory is understated by $ 4 comma 000.
Answer:
a. Ending merchandise inventory is overstated by $4,000.
net sales revenue of $59,000
cost of goods sold of $17,000 + $4,000 = $21,000
gross profit = $38,000
Since ending inventory was overstated, it means that COGS were understated.
b. Ending merchandise inventory is understated by $4,000.
net sales revenue of $59,000
cost of goods sold of $17,000 - $4,000 = $13,000
gross profit = $46,000
Since ending inventory was understated, it means that COGS were overstated.
Jay received the following fair market value amounts during the current year: Interest on Montgomery County bonds (used to build a bridge) $100 Interest on U.S. Treasury notes $200 Gain on sale of Montgomery County bonds $300 Common stock dividend in IBM Corporation common stock (no cash option) $400 What amount of taxable income should Jay report from these amounts
Answer:
$300
Explanation:
Given that :
Jay received the following fair market value amounts during the current year:
Interest on Montgomery County bonds
(used to build a bridge) $100
Interest on U.S. Treasury notes $200
Gain on sale of Montgomery County bonds $300
Common stock dividend in IBM Corporation
- common stock (no cash option) $400
From the above amounts that Jay received during the current year;
The following are free from an obligation and liability imposed as a result of tax.
1. Interest on Montgomery County bonds (used to build a bridge)
2. Interest on U.S. Treasury notes
3. Common stock dividend in IBM Corporation common stock (no cash option)
So; we can say they are not taxable
BUT only Gain on sale of Montgomery County bonds which is $300 only taxable
Thus, The amount of taxable income Jay should report from the above amounts is $300
EVA/MVA The financial statements reflect historical data, but managers' performance must be evaluated on the basis of values. To provide this information, financial analysts have developed two measures: Market Value Added (MVA) and Economic Value Added (EVA). Market Value Added represents the difference between the money stockholders have invested in the firm versus the cash they could receive if the firm were sold. The equation for MVA is:
Answer:
MVA = (Shares outstanding * Stock price) - Total common equity
Explanation:
Market value added is the excess of equity over its book value. It is the difference between money invested by stockholders and the cash they will receive if the company is sold. The higher MVA of a company means performance of the company management is good and is in the favor of stockholders.
There are two techniques of egg production: free range (where hens roam around the farm) or factory (where hens are fed and watered in wire cages). The free range technique has a much more elastic supply curve than the factory technique. When the demand for eggs falls:________.
a. egg production falls by a smaller percentage in the factory technique than in the free range technique.
b. egg production falls by a larger percentage in the factory technique than in the free range technique.
c. the production using both techniques falls by the same percentage.
d. the factory egg producers supply curve shifts inward.
e. the free range egg producers supply curve shifts inward.
Answer:
a. egg production falls by a smaller percentage in the factory technique than in the free range technique.
Explanation:
Elasticity of supply is defined as the degree of responsiveness of supply to changes in price. Highly elastic supply responds more to change in price than low elastic supply.
In the given scenario where eggs are produced using factory and free range techniques, as demand falls price consumers are willing to pay also falls.
Since factory technique has a lower elasticity of supply, the fall in supply as a result of fall in price will be small.
However the fall in supply of free range will be higher because of its higher elasticity

Suppose the world price of cotton falls 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? Check all that apply.
a. Extending the number of weeks for which unemployed workers are eligible for unemployment insurance benefits from the government
b. Taxing the price of placing a resume or posting a job opening on job-search website
c. Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies
Answer:
Suppose the world price of cotton falls substantially. The demand for labor among cotton-producing firms in Texas will DECREASE. The demand for labor among textile-producing firms in South Carolina, for which cotton is an input, will INCREASE. The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as STRUCTURAL unemployment.
Structural unemployment is a non voluntary type of unemployment and it occurs because the skills of the workers are not the ones needed by the employers. In this case, labor that was used for producing cotton in Texas is no longer needed due to shifts in the world price of cotton.
Suppose the government wants to reduce this type of unemployment. Which of the following policies would help achieve this goal? Check all that apply.
c. Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies
Dora Inc. reported the following on the company's cash flow statement: Sales $3,500,000 Net cash flow from operating activities 350,000 Net cash flow used for investing activities (100,000) Net cash flow used for financing activities (200,000) Free cash flow 290,000 What is the ratio of free cash flow to sales
Answer:
8.3%
Explanation:
Dora Inc. reported a sales of $3,500,000
The net cash flow from operating activities is $350,000
The net cash flow used for investing activities is $100,000
The net cash flow used for financial activities is $200,000
The free cash flow is $290,000
Therefore, the free cash flow to sales ratio can be calculated as follows
Free cash flow to sales ratio= Free cash flow/Sales × 100%
= $290,000/$3,500,000 × 100
= 0.0828×100
= 8.3%
Hence the ratio of the free cash flow to sales is 8.3%
We have the following data for a hypothetical open economy: GNP = $12 comma 00012,000 Consumption (C) = $7 comma 2007,200 Investment (I) = $1 comma 0001,000 Government Purchases (G) = $1 comma 6001,600 Tax Collections (T) = $1 comma 2001,200 What is the value of private savings plus public savings? $nothing (Enter your answer as an integer. Include a minus sign if necessary.) What is the value of the current account balance CA? $nothing (Enter your answer as an integer. Include a minus sign if necessary.)
Answer:
The value of private savings plus public savings is $3,200
The value of the current account balance CA is $2,200
Explanation:
In order to calculate the value of private savings plus public savings we would have to make the following calculation:
Total saving = private saving+public saving
Total saving =GNP-Tax Collections-Consumption+Tax Collections-Government Purchases
Total saving =$12,000-$1,200-$7,200+$1,200-$1,600
Total saving =$3,200
To calculate the value of the current account balance CA we would have to make the following calculation:
value of the current account balance CA=GNP-Consumption-Investment-Government Purchases
value of the current account balance CA= $12,000 - $7,200 -$1,000-$1,600
value of the current account balance CA= $2,200
Several years after reengineering its production process, King Corporation hired a new controller, Christine Erickson. She developed an ABC system very similar to the one used by King's chief rival. Part of the reason Erickson developed the ABC system was because King's profits had been declining, even though the company had shifted its product mix toward the product that had appeared most profitable under the old system. Before „ adopting the new ABC system, the company had used a plantwide overhead rate, based on direct labor hours developed years ago. For the upcoming year, King's budgeted ABC manufacturing overhead allocation rates are as follows:
Activity Allocation Base Activity Cost allocation rate
Materials handling Number of parts $4.00 per part
Machine setup Number of setups $375.00 per setup
Insertion of parts Number of parts $28.00 per part
Finishing Finishing direct labor hours $54.00 per hour
The number of parts is now a feasible allocation base because King recently purchased bar-coding technology. King produces two wheel models: Standard and Deluxe Budgeted data for the upcoming year are as follows:
Standard Delux
Parts per wheel 8 10
Setups per 1,000 wheels 20 20
Finishing direct labor hours per wheel 2 3.5
Total direct labor hours per wheel 2.6 3.4
The company's managers expect to produce 1,000 units of each model during the year.
Required:
a. Compute the total budgeted manufacturing overhead cost for the upcoming year.
b. Compute the manufacturing overhead cost per wheel of each model using ABC.
c. Compute the company's traditional plantwide overhead rate. Use this rate to determine the manufacturing overhead cost per wheel under the traditional system.
Answer:
King Corporation
a. Computation of total budgeted manufacturing overhead cost:
Activities Standard Deluxe Total
Materials handling (number of parts):
Standard = 8 x $4 x 1,000 $32,000
Deluxe = 10 x $4 x 1,000 $40,000 $72,000
Machine setup (number of parts):
= 20 x $375 $7,500 $7,500 $15,000
Insertion of parts (number of parts):
Standard = 8 x $28 x 1,000 $224,000
Deluxe = 10 x $28 x 1,000 $280,000 $504,000
Finishing (direct labor hours):
Standard = 2 x $54 x 1,000 $108,000
Deluxe = 3.5 x $54 x 1,000 $189,000 $297,000
Total $371,500 $516,500 $888,000
b. Computation of the manufacturing overhead cost per wheel of each model using ABC:
Standards = $371,500/1,000 = $371.50
Deluxe = $516,500/1,000 = $516.50
c. Computation of the company's traditional plantwide overhead rate to determine manufacturing overhead cost per wheel:
Overhead rate = $888,000/6,000 = $148
Manufacturing overhead cost per wheel:
Standard = $148 x 2.6 = $384.80
Deluxe = $148 x 3.4 = $503.20
Explanation:
a) Calculations:
Total overhead cost = $888,000
Allocation based on total direct labor hours per wheel
Plantwide overhead rate:
Total labor hours:
Standard 2.6 x 1,000 = 2,600 hours
Deluxe 3.4 x 1,000 = 3,400 hours
Total labor hours = 6,000 (2,600 + 3,400)
= $888,000/6,000 = $148 per direct hour
b) According to wikipedia.com, "Activity-based costing is a costing method that identifies activities in an organization and assigns the cost of each activity to all products and services according to the actual consumption by each. This model assigns more indirect costs into direct costs compared to conventional costing."
railway cabooses just paid its annual dividend of 1.70 per share. The company has been reducing the dividends by 11.3 percent each year. How much are you willing to pay today to purchase stock in this company if your required rate of return is 12 percent?
Answer:
8.24
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of purchase stock is shown below:-
Purchase price = Dividend in paid in next year ÷ (required rate of return - Growth rate)
= (1.70 ÷ (1 - 0.113)) ÷ (0.12 - (-0.113))
= 1.92 ÷ 0.233
= 8.24
Therefore for computing the purchase price we simply applied the above formula.
6.2 Assignment: Intellectual Property 1. Clifford Witter was a dance instructor at the Arthur Murray Dance Studios in Cleveland. As a condition of employment, he signed a contract not to work for a competitor. Subsequently, he was hired by the Fred Astaire Dancing Studios, where he taught the method that he had learned at Arthur Murray. Arthur Murray sued to enforce the noncompete contract. What would be result? What additional information, if any, would you need to know to decide the case? 2. Greenberg worked for Buckingham Wax as its chief chemist, developing chemical formulas for products by testing other companies’ formulas and modifying them. Brite Products bought Buckingham’s goods and resold them under its own name. Greenberg went to work for Brite, where he helped Brite make chemicals substantially similar to the ones it had been buying from Buckingham. Greenberg had never made any written or oral commitment to Buckingham restricting his use of the chemical formulas he developed. May Buckingham stop Greenberg from working for Brite? May it stop him from working on formulas learned while working at Buckingham? Why?
Answer:
The overview of the given circumstances is described in the explanation segment below.
Explanation:
(1)...
Non-compete seems to be a standard procedure in several areas of the globe to safeguard information. There must have been 2 factors for something like a non-competent specified period in exchange, as shown in this scenario:
There's got to have been a state secret that is hidden from the public. Witter uses trade secrets for his previous venture.Neither of the circumstances confirms that realizing as well as trying to teach how and when to start dancing seems to be completely obvious and does not quantity to state secrets. If this were a style of dance that is already recognized mostly to Anthony Murray as well as Witter, therefore the case might have been dissimilar. And while this skill is trained to every learner, it isn't a secret.
Interestingly, Witter doesn't use trade secrets because it is a common experience of dance to learn well how to dance. Haven't broken the non-competition.
(2)...
Buckingham may, if he indeed wishes, promote to prevent Greenberg from operating on such formulations, and even using them for many other businesses, as he created certain formulas although employed at Buckingham. This also acknowledges that all these formulas have been created again for the corporation of Buckingham and therefore any exposure of such formulas to some of its rival businesses directly impacts the company of Buckingham.
They should negotiate through Brite the current landlord of Greenberg, not to require Greenberg to provide it, and that therefore Brite, and in so doing, is indicting the requirements including its Intellectual Property Act. Nevertheless, it seems from either the content of the issue that there was no Non-Disclosure Agreement among Buckingham as well as Greenberg.However although there would have been a long-standing contractual partnership involving Brite & Buckingham, hardly any agreement concerning digital content as well as Trade Secret sharing including non-disclosure had already been concluded.In consideration of it all, it would be very unlikely against Buckingham to just get a judge's order targeting Greenberg as well as Briton to prosecute them or even to prevent themselves from being used formulas established by Greenberg although employed for Buckingham.
