Answer:
NPV= $1,915.64
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $3,186
Number of periods= 3 years
Interest rate= 3%
Initial investment (Io)= $1,000
To calculate the net present value, we need to use the following formula:
NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
NPV= -1,000 + (3,186/1.03^3)
NPV= $1,915.64

The difference between total factory overhead cost incurred during a period and the total standard factory overhead cost assigned to production of the period is the:______________.
A) Flexible-budget variance.
B) Production-volume variance.
C) Total factory overhead variance.
D) Overhead efficiency variance.
E) Total overhead spending variance.
Answer: C. Total factory overhead variance
Explanation:
The difference between total factory overhead cost incurred during a period and the total standard factory overhead cost assigned to production of the period is the total factory overhead variance.
Flexible budget variance is the difference that occurs between the results that are gotten by the flexible budget model and the actual results gotten.
Production volume variance is the difference that occurs between the budgeted production volume for a particular company and the actual volume of goods produced.
The correct option is C.

On October 1, 2020, Jackson Chemical was identified as a potentially responsible party by the Environmental Protection Agency. Jackson's management along with its counsel have concluded that it is probable that Jackson will be responsible for damages, and a reasonable estimate of these damages is $5,000,000. Jackson's insurance policy of $9,000,000 has a deductible clause of $500,000. How should Jackson Chemical report this information in its financial statements at December 31, 2020
Answer:
Jackson Chemical should report the $5,000,000 loss because we don't know if the insurance will actually pay out the policy.
Explanation:
Jackson chemical has to report $500,000 loss associated with the deductible would be accrued as liability in the company's financial statements at Dec 31, 2020 since it is probably that Jackson will be responsible for the damages.
$500,000 is the amount of the insurance policy's deductible Jackson will have to pay to receive the policy's benefits, which will cover the reasonably estimated damages.
A semiannual coupon bond with face value of $1,000 has a coupon rate of 6% and matures in 16 years. The market-determined discount rate on this bond is 14%. What is the price of the bond?
Answer:
$1,125.30
Explanation:
The Price of the Bond is its Current/Trading price also known as the Present Value (PV). This is determined as follows :
Fv = $1,000
Pmt = $1,000 × 6% = $160
P/yr = 1
n = 16
i = 14%
PV = ?
Using the Financial calculator to enter the values as above, the Pv is $1,125.30.
Thus, the price of the bond is $1,125.30.
Suppose the banking system has $40 billion in reserves. Also assume that there are no cash leakages or excess reserves. If the central bank lowers the required reserve ratio from 20 percent to 16 percent, the money supply will
Answer:
Money supply increases by $1.6 billion
Explanation:
The reserve ratio is defined as the amount of a bank's reserves that the central bank of a country expects banks to keep as cash and not lend out.
Reserve ratio is also called cash reserve ratio.
This requirement is put in place in case customers decide to make mass withdrawals.
Central banks tend to control cash supply by increasing or reducing the reserve ratio.
When money to be supplied as loans is to be increased, the reserve ratio reduces so that banks can use more of their reserves for lending rather than for cash withdrawals.
In this instance reserve ratio reduced from 20% to 16%.
That is a 4% reduction
This means 4% of the reserves is freed up for lending or money supply to the public
Extra money supply = 0.04 * 40 billion = $1.6 billion
Money supply increases by $1.6 billion

Dr. Bob Jackson owns a parcel of land that a local farmer has offered to rent from Dr. Bob for the next 10 years. The farmer has offered to pay $20,000 today or an annuity of $3,200 at the end of each of the next 10 years. Which pay-ment method should Dr. Jackson accept if his required rate of return is 10 percent
Answer:
Dr. Jackson should accept the $20,000 paid today
Explanation:
you must analyse the present value of both payment options:
the present value of the $20,000 paid today is exactly $20,000the present value of the annuity = $3,200 x 6.1446 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 10 periods) = $19,662.72Since the present value of the immediate cash payment is higher than the annuity payment, Bob should choose that offer.
Mr. C made the following gifts: $12,000 to a university to pay tuition costs for his niece. An undeveloped tract of land to his sister that had an adjusted basis to Mr. C of $4,000 and a fair market value of $25,000. Various shares of stock to his wife that had an adjusted basis to Mr. C of $15,000 and a fair market value of $40,000. Mr. C did not consent to gift-splitting. What is the total amount of taxable gifts
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
Gifts are only taxed when their fair market value is higher than $15,000. Any gifts made to your spouse are not taxable. Gift taxes are calculated on a per person base, as long as they do not exceed the lifetime exemption (which is $11.58 million).
The tuition costs of her niece are not taxable since they are less than $12,000. The stocks given to his wife are not taxable either. The only taxable gift is the land given to his sister which had a FMV of $25,000. The taxable amount = $25,000 - $15,000 = $10,000
Under the allowance method for uncollectible accounts, the journal entry to record the estimate of uncollectible accounts would include a credit to
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry to record the estimation of the uncollectible accounts is shown below:
Bad debt expense XXXX
To Allowance of doubtful debts XXXX
(Being the estimation of the uncollectible account is recorded)
Here the bad debt expense is debited as it increases the expenses account and credited the allowance as it decreased the assets
Hence, the same is to be considered
Exercise 17-5 Assigning costs using ABC LO P3 Xie Company identified the following activities, costs, and activity drivers for this year. The company manufactures two types of go-karts: Deluxe and Basic. Activity Expected Costs Expected Activity Handling materials $ 625,000 100,000 parts Inspecting product 900,000 1,500 batches Processing purchase orders 105,000 700 orders Paying suppliers 175,000 500 invoices Insuring the factory 300,000 40,000 square feet Designing packaging 75,000 2 models Assume that the following information is available for the company’s two products for the first quarter of this year. Deluxe Model Basic Model Production volume 10,000 units 30,000 units Parts required 20,000 parts 30,000 parts Batches made 250 batches 100 batches Purchase orders 50 orders 20 orders Invoices 50 invoices 10 invoices Space occupied 10,000 sq. ft. 7,000 sq. ft Models 1 model 1 model Required: Compute activity rates for each activity and assign overhead costs to each product model using activity-based costing (ABC). What is the overhead cost per unit of each model? (Round activity rate and average OH cost per unit answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activity rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Handling materials= 625,000/100,000= $6.25 per part
Inspecting product= 900,000/1,500= $600 per batch
Processing= 105,000/700= $150 per order
Paying suppliers= 175,000/500=$350 per invoice
Insuring the factory= 300,000/40,000= $7.5 per square feet
Designing packaging= 75,000/2= $37,500 per model
Now, we can allocate overhead to each model:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Deluxe:
Handling materials= 6.25*20,000= 125,000
Inspecting product= 600*250= 150,000
Processing= 150*50= 7,500
Paying suppliers= 350*50= 17,500
Insuring the factory= 7.5*10,000= 75,000
Designing packaging= 37,500*1= 37,500
Total allocated overhead= $412,500
Basic:
Handling materials= 6.25*30,000= 187,500
Inspecting product= 600*100= 160,000
Processing= 150*20= 3,000
Paying suppliers= 350*10= 3,500
Insuring the factory= 7.5*7,000= 52,500
Designing packaging= 37,500*1= 37,500
Total allocated overhead= $444,000
Finally, the unitary overhead:
Deluxe= 412,500/10,000= $41.25
Basic= 444,000/30,000= $14.8
Bob has been investing $4,000 in stock at the end of every year for the past 8 years. If the account is currently worth $45,000, what was his annual return on this investment?a. 10.61%b. 10.91%c. 8.81%d. 9.55%e. 9.07%
Answer:
d. 9.55%
Explanation:
we can use the future value of an annuity formula to calculate Bob's annual return:
future value = annual contribution x FV annuity factor
future value = $45,000
annual contribution = $4,000
FV annuity factor = ?
FV annuity factor = future value / annual contribution = $45,000 / $4,000 = 11.25
FV annuity factor = [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1] / i
11.25 = [(1 + i)⁸ - 1] / i
11.25i = (1 + i)⁸ - 1
solving this problem is really complicated, but there is a much simple way to do it:
e) 11.25 x 0.0907 = (1 + 0.0907)⁸ - 1
1.020375 ≠ 1.0028
d) 11.25 x 0.0955 = (1 + 0.0955)⁸ - 1
1.0744 = 1.0744 ⇒ this option is correct
Preston Corp. is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20 percent debt, 20 percent preferred stock, and 60 percent common equity. Its bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sells for $1,100. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock which pays a 5.52 percent annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Preston's beta is 1.2, the risk-free rate is 3 percent, and the market risk premium is 5 percent. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. What is Preston's WACC
Answer:
Follows are the solution to this question:
Explanation:
[tex]\text{Equity expense = free risk rate+beta} \times \text{market risk premium}[/tex]
[tex]=3 \% + 1.2 \times 5 \% \\\\= 0.03 + 1.2 \times 0.05 \\\\= 0.03 +0.06 \\\\= 0.09\\\\=9 \%[/tex]
[tex]\text{Preferred inventory cost} = \frac{\text{annual dividend}}{( price - floation \ rate)}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{(100 \times 5.46 \%)}{(100-100 \times 5 \%)}\\\\=5.75 \%[/tex]
[tex]\text{Excel feature = RATE(nper, PMT, PV, FV)}[/tex]
[tex]=(RATE( \frac{20 \times 2,1000 \times 12 \%}{2,-1100,1000})) \times 2 \\\\=10.77 \%[/tex]
[tex]\text{Debt expense after tax}= 10.77 \% \times (1-40 \%)[/tex]
WACC from Preston = Capital weight [tex]\times[/tex] Capital equity costs+cost of common stock [tex]\times[/tex] cost of common shares [tex]\times[/tex] debt cost [tex]\times[/tex] (1-tax rate)
[tex]=60 \% \times 9 \%+20 \% \times 5.75 \%+20 \% \times 6.46 \% \\\\=7.84 \%[/tex]
If there was a 24% chance of having a contract signed to purchase a home in any one month and there were 55 homes on the market, what would be the probability that exactly 15 of them would have a contract signed during this month?
a. 10.3%
b. 24.0%
c. 66.7%
d. 23.0%
Answer:
a. 10.3%
Explanation:
P∝F of Binomial distribution is given as Pr.(x=x) = nCxP^x(1-p)^(n-x)
P = 0.24, n= 55, x =15 Note: C = Combination
Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)(55-15)
Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)^40
Pr.(x = 15) = 0.1026
Pr.(x = 15) = 10.26%
Pr.(x = 15) = 10.3%

a. $24,477.81
b. $24,948.54
c. $23,536.36
d. $24,007.09
Answer:
1. a. 4.081%
2. c. $23,536.36
Explanation:
1. Periodic rate=(4.4%/4) = 1.1%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods
= (1+0.044/4)^4-1
= 1.011^4 - 1
= 1.04473133864 - 1
= 0.04473133864
= 4.47%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods
=(1+0.04/365)^365-1
= (1+0.00010958904)^365 - 1
= 1.00010958904^365 - 1
= 1.04080849272 - 1
= 0.04080849272
= 4.081%
2. A=P(1+r/365)^365*n
where A=future value, P=present value, r=rate of interest, n=time period.
= 22000*(1+9%/365)^(9/12*365)
= $23,536.36

The Clicks' income for the year consists of $89,000 in salary, $1,500 interest income, and $700 long-term capital loss. The Clicks' expenses for the year consist of $1,450 investment interest expense. Assuming that the Clicks' marginal tax rate is 35 percent, what is the amount of their investment interest expense deduction for the year
Answer:
$1,450
Explanation:
Interest Income = $1,500
Investment Interest expenses = $1,450
Allowed deduction limit investment interest is subject to investment income. So $1,450 is allowed as deduction
Which of the following statements is the most accurate? Sole proprietorships are well suited for people who want to own a business and share in its profits without taking an active role in management. Sole proprietorships are the least risky form of business ownership. Sole proprietorships must receive a state charter before they can legally conduct business. Sole proprietorships are taxed at the owner's personal tax rate.
Answer:
D. Sole proprietorships are taxed at the owner's personal tax rate
Explanation:
Sole Proprietorship can be defined as a simplest form of owning and starting any business. As the term suggests, this business is onwed by an individual only or shared by married couples.
Sole properietorship is easy to set up because the owner need not to register itself to state government, therefore, because of absence of governmental involvement, it is easy to set up or deconstruct sole proprietorship.
From the given options, the statement which is most accurate about a sole proprietorship is option D. The owner of sole proprietorship pays personal taxes on the profits earned by his/her business.
Therefore, option D is correct.
Suppose you won a $77,000 after-tax cash prize in the lottery. You want to start a new business that you think will lose money for a while, after which it will be up and running and bringing in big bucks. You plan to invest the funds immediately in securities that are expected to earn 8% per year. Suppose you would need only $19,000 per year during the start-up period. How long could you operate before you would require cash from the new business, i.e., how long could you receive payments of $19,000 per year? The first withdrawal will be made a year from today, and your answer will contain a fraction of a year.
Answer:
The right solution is "5.09 years".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Lottery amount
= $77,000
Withdrawal
= $19,000
Rate
= 8%
The number of withdrawal will be:
⇒ [tex]NPER(Rate,-withdrawal,lottery \ amount)[/tex]
On putting the values, we get
⇒ [tex]NPER(8 \ percent,-19000,77000)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]5.09 \ years[/tex]
A company offers ID theft protection using leads obtained from client banks. Three employees each work 40 hours a week on the leads. These employees are each paid $25 per hour. Each employee identifies an average of 3,000 potential leads a week. There are no duplications in these three lists. Material costs are $1,000 per week, and overhead costs are $9,000 per week. An average of 4 percent of the potential leads actually sign up for the service, paying a one-time fee of $70. Consider the output as the fees generated. a) What are the labor hours productivity and the multifactor productivity for this operation
Answer:
Output = 4%*3000 * $70 * 3
Output = $25,200
Labor hours productivity = Output / Labor hour
Where Labor hour = 3 * 40 hours = 120 hours
Labor hours productivity = $25,200 / 120 hours
Labor hours productivity = $210 per labor hour
Multi factor productivity for this operation = Output / Multi factor input
Where Multi factor input = 120*$25 + $1,000 + $9,000 = $13,000
Multi factor productivity for this operation = $25,200 / $13,000
Multi factor productivity for this operation = 1.938462
Multi factor productivity for this operation = 1.94
Which of the following is an example of internally caused behavior? An employee was laid off because the company was attempting to cut costs by laying off employees. An employee was late for a team meeting because of a heavy downpour. An employee could not come to work because he met with an accident. An employee could not attend an interview because of a delayed flight. An employee was fired from work because he violated a company policy.
Answer:
An employee was fired from work because he violated company policy
Explanation:
One of the factor that determine the behavior of people is the way the event arround them is interpreted. Those that can control things arround them usually take responsibility for what they do compare to set of people believing that situation arround them is beyond their control, which is explained in" attribution theory" by Fritz Heider. Internally caused behavior can be regarded as challenging behavioras a result of internal stimuli such as traits, pain and anxiety.
Out of the options given in the question only "An employee was fired from work because he violated a company policy" is an example of internally caused behavior, since the violation is on the path of the employee which is as a result of internal behavior known to him.
Farris Corporation, which has only one product, has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $ 78 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 8,800 Units sold 8,700 Units in ending inventory 100 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 18 Direct labor $ 10 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 4 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 5 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $255,200 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 87,000 What is the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing
Answer:
$61
Explanation:
The computation of unit product cost for the month under absorption costing is shown below:-
Unit product cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable Manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing cost
= $18 + $10 + $4 + ($255,200 ÷ 8,800)
= $61
Therefore for computing the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing we simply applied the above formula.
Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $425,000 to $445,500 and would decrease the current variable costs of $60 by $15 per unit. The selling price of $100 is not expected to change. Forrester's current break-even sales are $1,140,000 and current break-even units are 11,400. If Forrester purchases this new equipment, the revised break-even point in dollars would be:
Answer:
Break-even point (dollars)= $810,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $445,500
Unitary variable cost= $45
Selling price= $100
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 445,500 / [(100 - 45) / 100]
Break-even point (dollars)= $810,000
a. Consumption schedule The variable on the vertical (y) axis is (Click to select) and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is (Click to select) . These variables are (Click to select) related. b. Saving schedule The variable on the vertical (y) axis is (Click to select) and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is (Click to select) . These variables are (Click to select) related. c. What is the fundamental reason that the levels of consumption and saving in the United States are each higher today than they were a decade ago
Answer:
a. Consumption schedule
The variable on the vertical (y) axis is Consumption and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is disposable income .
These variables are directly related.
On the Consumption schedule, the variables on the y axis are the different levels of consumption whilst the variables on the x are amounts of disposable income.
Consumption and disposable income are directly related because when the amount of disposable income increases, the amount that consumers can spend will increase as well as it comes from the disposable income that a consumer has.
b. Saving schedule
The variable on the vertical (y) axis is Saving and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is disposable income .
These variables are directly related.
On the Saving schedule the x axis which is for the independent variable is the Disposable income whilst the dependent variable on the y axis is for Savings.
Savings and Disposable income are directly relate because when a person has more money after taxes (disposable income), they will be able to save more money.
c. Real GDP and disposable income are higher.
The Real GDP of the United States as well as disposable income have increased over the past decade which means that people are able to both consume and save more s shown above.
What features of the 100 Yen Sushi House service delivery system differentiate it from the competition, and what competitive advantages do they offer?
Answer:
The summary and as per the query is defined in the following portion of the clarification.
Explanation:
The key characteristics including its 100 yen sushi management of service distribution system are its approaches to meal preparation and facilities on the manufacturing process. The client is also involved throughout the supply chain. The regular price, the conveyor belt mechanism throughout the location, which passes across the commercial counter, is three to four chefs on the floor.
The benefits of this are the people that follow:
High-tech independence including the use of clear methods. The positions that their operation involves repetition throughout their manufacturing method there might be other providers that could follow 100 yen sushi household operational efficiency. The distribution system used for the 100 yen sushi household delivery of services may also be regarded for car production. By only using throughout time method, the location uses freshly delivered food. The position has always had to estimate the volume of food purchased as well as cook it regularly according to the purchase request.4. Give two reasons why GDP is often not seen as the best measure of living standards.
Answer:
Different factors account to it.
Explanation:
Because many factors that contribute to people's happiness are not bought and sold, GDP is a limited tool for measuring standard of living. To understand it's limitations better, let's take a look at several factors that are not accounted for in GDP.
GDP does not account for leisure time. The US GDP per capita is larger than the GDP per capita of Germany, but does this prove that the standard of living in the United States is higher? Not necessarily since it is also true that the average US worker works several hundred hours more per year more than the average German worker. The calculation of GDP does not take German workers extra weeks of vacation into account.
GDP includes what is spent on environmental protection, healthcare, and education, but it does not include actual levels of environmental cleanliness, health, and learning. GDP includes the cost of buying pollution-control equipment, but it does not address whether the air and water are actually cleaner or dirtier. GDP includes spending on medical care, but it does not address whether life expectancy or infant mortality have risen or fallen. Similarly, GDP counts spending on education, but it does not address directly how much of the population can read, write, or do basic mathematics.
