Under Variable costing, fixed expenses: Select one: a. Are subtracted from sales to arrive at the contribution margin b. Are subtracted from sales to arrive at the gross profit c. Are expensed in the current period d. A and C
Answer:
The answer is C. Are expensed in the current period
Explanation:
Under variable costing, fixed expenses is treated as a period cost and is expensed in the current period's income statement.

Option B is also incorrect because cost of sales and not fixed cost/expenses are subtracted from sales to arrive at gross profit.
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.
What is true regarding static budgets? Select one: a. It is the budgeted amount used to calculate standard costs. b. It is the budgeted amount used to calculate the actual costs. c. It is also called moving or nonstationary budgets. d. All of the above
Answer:
b. It is the budgeted amount used to calculate the actual costs.
Explanation:
Static budget is the budget which remains the same even if there is some changes made but the flexible budget do not remain the same.
Moreover, the static budget is the main budget that used to prepare the standard cost by considering the budgeted activity level
Therefore it is the budget in which the budgeted amount should be considered in order to determine the actual cost that helps to make the flexible budget
Company X uses the accounts receivable ageing approach to estimate bad debt expense. Please calculate the December 31, 2018 allowance for doubtful accounts using the following information: The estimated loss rate for uncollectibility for each category is as follows: Up to 30 days due 3%, Up to 31 to 60 days due 6% and Over 60 days due 10%.
Before the December 31, 2018 calculations were made the allowance for doubtful accounts had a $500 Debit balance in it. The balances in the December 31, 2018 accounts receivable ageing schedule are as follows:
Up to 30 days due $100,000
Up to 31 to 60 days due $40,000
Over 60 days due $20,000
Answer:
Company X
Calculation of the December 31, 2018 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
Accounts Receivable balances Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Up to 30 days due $100,000 $3,000 (100,000 x 3%)
Up to 31 to 60 days due $40,000 $2,400 (40,000 x 6%)
Over 60 days due $20,000 $2,000 (20,000 x 10%)
Total Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $7,400
Explanation:
The 2018 Uncollectible Expenses will be $7,900 ($7,400 + 500).
Using the ageing method, each class of account receivable balance is applied the estimated rate of uncollectible. Then, these are summed to give the amount estimated as the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for the year. The resulting figure is compared with the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to determine the amount of the Uncollectible Expenses which is taken to the income summary for the period.

Which of the following accounts will only be found in the chart of accounts of a merchandising company? a. Accounts Payable b. Accounts Receivable c. Inventory d. Sales
Answer:
c. Inventory
Explanation:
A merchandising company is one that specialises in buying and reselling goods. Profit is made by selling goods at higher prices than they were bought.
Merchandising companies can be wholesale or retail businesses.
Because of the nature of their business merchandising companies usually make use of storage facilities to stock goods. This nesecitates the use of an inventory account to monitor inflow and outflow of goods.
Therefore inventory account is used only by merchandising companies
Answer:
The answer is C. Inventory
Explanation:
Meerchandising company is a company that buys goods(inventories) and resells them later at a price higher than the purchase price.
We have two types of merchandising companies:
1. Retail
2. Wholesale.
Since they buy and sells inventories (goods), only inventory accounts can be found in the chart of accounts among those options.
Juggernaut Satellite Corporation earned $18.5 million for the fiscal year ending yesterday. The firm also paid out 40 percent of its earnings as dividends yesterday. The firm will continue to pay out 40 percent of its earnings as annual, end-of-year dividends. The remaining 60 percent of earnings is retained by the company for use in projects. The company has 2 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current stock price is $80. The historical return on equity (ROE) of 14 percent is expected to continue in the future.
What is the required rate of return on the stock?
Answer:
13.41%
Explanation:
Last Year: Earnings = $18,500,000
Shares Outstanding = 2,000,000
Earnings per share = Earnings / Shares Outstanding
= $18,500,000 / 2,000,000
= $9.25
Dividend per share, D0 = Earnings per share * Payout Ratio
Dividend per share, D0 = $9.25 * 40%
Dividend per share, D0 = $3.70
Retention Ratio = 60%
Return on Equity = 14%
Growth Rate, g = Return on Equity * Retention ratio
Growth Rate, g = 14% * 0.60
Growth Rate, g = 8.40%
Current Price, P0 = $80.00
Next Year: Dividend per share, D1 = D0 * (1 + g)
Dividend per share, D1 = $3.70 * (1 + 8.40%)
Dividend per share, D1 = $3.70 * 1.084
Dividend per share, D1 = $4.0108
Required Rate of Return = D1 / P0 + g
= $4.0108 / $80.00 + 0.0840
= 0.0501 + 0.0840
= 0.1341
= 13.41%

"Given the fact that both the Navy and the Air Force regularly fly pilotless aircraft for surveillance and combat missions, the idea of a driverless fork truck seems somewhat of a no-brainer. Why not pilotless cargo aircraft such as FedEx and UPS? Why not semi-trucks moving intercity without drivers? How would your answer differ if we had high-ways that were dedicated to truck-only traffic, either on an exclusive or time-allocated basis? Where do you think the concept of probotics will eventually end up? "
Answer:
If we had highways available to truck-only traffic then the question will need to contemplate on is if the truck-only highways will enable only driver less trucks or the conventional trucks as well.
Also humans are susceptible to error. while machines usually follow strict rules.
These two different methods to driving and could cause problems and also accidents. the only method accomplish driver less trucks is to ensure truck-only highways exclusive to driver less trucks.
The idea of robotics and automations will keep growing. we may have, automated vehicles on the road in the next 20 years.
Similarly automation is set to change our home, roads, cars and how we do business today.
Explanation:
Solution
There are different reasons why we do not see driver less fork truck or pilot less cargo aircraft. but the key reasons behind them can be is stated below:
(1)Technology: The technology behind driver less truck or pilot less aircraft are still very fresh. This implies that the use of this technology is extremely high. at some point it may even include national security concern. this is the reason why the technology is not available openly to public and business organization cannot use them for their customers.
(2)Safety: Pilot less aircraft for surveillance carries a particular risk. we need to know that the workmanship of Navy and Air Force is part of these risk. Thus, the normal everyday jobs like businesses and operations do not take such high risk.
A pilot less aircraft’s crash could result in damage to lives and property and brings other issues. with the new technology the risks we go higher and best not used for mass/public consumption.
(3)Regulations: Any new design of operation often needs the government approval. Driver less cars as of now are only at its initial stage of creation. But, before this becomes a common mode of transportation, the government consent may be required.
The infrastructure needs to be present for such vehicles. These requires a lot of effort and preparation, which is not available at the moment.
Now
If we had highways assigned to truck-only traffic then the question will still be if the truck-only highways will permit only driver less trucks or the conventional trucks as well.
The problem is if we mix them. humans are liable to error and also capable of improvisation. while machines do follow strict rules. these two different methods to driving and could cause confusion and also accidents. the only way to accomplish driver less trucks is to ensure truck-only highways exclusive to driver less trucks.
The idea of robotics and automations will keep growing. we may have, automated vehicles on the road in the next 20 years (in some countries). Similarly automation is set to change our home, roads, cars and how we run business today.
For Instance, in future we could be living in a completely automated house, being taken to work by automated public/private transport and even travelling to other countries in a pilot less airplanes.

An advertising agency is estimating costs for advertising a music festival. The job will require 230 direct labor hours at a cost of $56 per hour. Overhead costs are applied at a rate of $68 per direct labor hour. What is the total estimated cost for this job?
Answer:
The total estimated cost for this job is $28,520
Explanation:
In order to calculate the total estimated cost for this job we would have to make the following calculation:
Total estimated cost=Total direct labor cost+Actual overhead applied cost
Total direct labor cost=total required labour hours*cost per direct labour hour
hence, Total direct labor cost=230*$56
Total direct labor cost=$12,880
Actual overhead applied cost=total required labour hours*Appliead overhead cost
hence, Actual overhead applied cost=230*$68
Actual overhead applied cost=$15,640
Therefore, Total estimated cost=$12,880+$15,640
Total estimated cost=$28,520
The total estimated cost for this job is $28,520

Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,200 light fixtures (units) at $18 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 6,000 units at $19.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $24.00 per unit, which includes $16.00 variable cost and $8.00 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $800 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. If Minor wishes to earn $1,600 on the special order, the size of the order would need to be:
Answer:
the size of the special order should be 1,200 in order to generate profits of $1,600

A company operates in a perfectly competitive market, selling each unit of output for a price of $20 and paying the market wage of $360 per day for each worker it hires. In the following table, complete the column for the marginal revenue product of labor (MRP) at each quantity of workers.
Labor Output Marginal Product of Labor Marginal Revenue Product of Labor
(Number of workers) (Units of output) (Units of output) (Dollars)
0 0 - -
1 20 20
2 39 19
3 57 18
4 72 15
5 84 12
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
The marginal revenue product of labor (MRPL) is an additional amount of revenue that a firm will make when it hires one additional employee. The formula and r calculating
MRPL = marginal product of labour x marginal revenue.
It should be noted that P = MC = MR. Therefore marginal revenue will be $20.
Therefore when:
MPPL = 0
MRPL = 0 × 20 = 0
MPPL = 20
MRPL = 20 ×20 = 400
MPPL = 19
MRPL = 19 × 20 = 380
MPPL = 18
MRPL = 18 × 20 = 360
MPPL = 15
MRPL = 15 × 20 = 300
MPPL = 12
MRPL = 12 × 20 = 240
Check the attached file for the table.
The completion of the column for the marginal revenue product of labor (MRP) is as follows:
Labor (Number of Output Marginal Product of Value of the
workers) (Units of output) Labor (Units of output) Marginal Product
of Labor (Dollars)
1 20 20 $400 (20 x $20)
2 39 19 $380 (19 x $20)
3 57 18 $360 (18 x $20)
4 72 15 $300 (15 x $20)
5 84 12 $240 (12 x $20)
The marginal revenue product of labor (MRPL) shows the additional amount of revenue the firm generates when it adds one additional employee to its labor force. It is the product from the multiplication of the marginal product of labor by the selling price of output.
Thus, according to the law of Marginal Revenue Product of Labor, the company will demand more labor until its MRPL equals the wage rate, that is at $360.

Suppose that during the past year, the price of a laptop computer fell from $2,500 to $2,300. During the same time period, consumer sales increased from 403,000 to 549,000 laptops. Calculate the elasticity of demand between these two price-quantity combinations by using the following steps.
original new Average Change Percentage
Quantity
Price
Answer:
Elasticity of Demand = 4.5
Demand is very elastic, because a small percentage change in price brought about a bigger percentage change in quantity demanded.
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Original Average New Average Change Percentage
Quantity 403,000 549,000 +146,000 36.23%
Price $2,500 $2,300 -$200 8%
b) Elasticity of demand: The elasticity of demand is calculated by dividing the % change in quantity by the % change in price which brought it about.
Percentage change in Quantity/Percentage change in price
= 36.23%/8% = 4.5
c) The elasticity of demand is the responsiveness of demand (consumers) to a change in price. If the responsiveness is less than 1, then demand is inelastic. If it is equal to 1, then demand elasticity is unitary. If it is more than 1, then demand is elastic.
Decision, since Elasticity is more than 1, the demand is very elastic.
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%
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:

Galvatron Metals has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 6.3 percent and semiannual payments. The bond currently sells for $1,919 and matures in 17 years. The par value is $2,000 and the company's tax rate is 39 percent. What is the company's aftertax cost of debt?
Answer:
4.09%
Explanation:
For computing the after cost of debt we have to applied the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,919
Future value or Face value = $2,000
PMT = 2,000 × 6.3% ÷ 2 = $63
NPER = 17 years × 2 = 34 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.35% × 2 = 6.70%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 6.70% × ( 1 - 0.39)
= 4.09%
Baldwin Corp. ended the year carrying $21,580,000 worth of inventory. Had they sold their entire inventory at their current prices, how many more dollars of contribution margin would it have brought to Baldwin Corp.?
Explanation:
The given question cannot be answered as little information is provided. However it shall be an amount if $21,580,000. For, complete analysis we need to understand the current prices and various other variable costs. We know that the contribution margin is the Sale Price (SP) minus the Variable Cost (VC). It is the number of sales per unit that will be available to service fixed expenses and to generate the profit.
Therefore, to determine a more detailed answers more inputs are needed.
You just won a prize that will pay you $800 today and $500 a year for the next three years. Which is the correct formula for computing the present value as of today at 6 percent?
a. PV = $500/1.06 + $500/1.062+ $500/1.063
b. PV = $800 PV $800/1.06$500/1.06+$500/1.06 $500/1.06
c. PV =$800+ $500/1.06 $500/1.06+ $500/1.061
d. PV = $800(1.06)+ $500 +$500/1.06 $500/1.06
Answer:
Total PV= 800 + 500/1.06^1 + 500/1.06^2 + 500/1.06^3
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flows:
Cf0= $800
Cf1= $500
Cf2= $500
Cf3= $500
Discount rate= 6%
The $800 is received today, therefore, it is already its present value.
For the cash flow for the next three years, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow.
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Total PV= 800 + 500/1.06 + 500/1.06^2 + 500/1.06^3

The average American’s real income today is about four times what it was in _________.
Average lifetime lengths have increased by ______,
the number of hours worked per week has decreased by _________ ,
and homes have _________ doubled in size.
almost
1940
21%
8%
12%
1935
1960
more than
17%
Answer:
The average American’s real income today is about four times what it was in 1960. Average lifetime lengths have increased by 12%, the number of hours worked per week has decreased by 17% , and homes have more than doubled in size.
Explanation;
Economic data shows that Americans make on average, about 4 times what they were making in real income in 1960 due to exponential economic growth.
At the same time, Americans are also living a longer life by 12% on average than in 1960 when the life expectancy was around 70 years. Today it is around 78 years.
Americans are also working fewer hours than their 1960 counterparts because where in 1960 they worked for an average of 50 hours a week, recently that number hovers around 40 hours a week.
Houses built are also larger than they were in the '60s as income has increased and preferences have changed.
A mandatory seatbelt law ends up raising the number of traffic fatalities if it lowers fatalities per accident from 0.10 to 0.07 while raising the number of accidents per period from 35,000 to any more than:_______
Answer: 50,000
Explanation:
The question shows that at the current number of accident per period which is 35,000, 0.1 fatalities are recorded.
If the new seat belt law reduces the fatality rate from 0.1 to 0.07, how many accidents would have to occur for the new law to match the previous fatality rate given the previous number of accidents.
Let the new number of accidents be x;
35,000 * 0.1 = 0.07 * x
3,500 = 0.07x
x = 3,500/0.07
= 50,000
At 50,000 accidents, the new law will cause the same amount of fatalities than before. Anything more than 50,000 would lead to more fatalities than before.
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
