Answer: Zoe’s maximum willingness to pay for the insurance is $50
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Zoe, who is risk averse, bought flight cancellation insurance which will cover the cost of her non-refundable $500 airline ticket if she is unable to travel due to illness wnd also that Zoe faces a 10 percent probability of becoming ill and then using the insurance.
The expected value of the insurance will be the cost of the airline ticket multiplied by the probability of her becoming ill. This will be:
= $500 × 10%
= $500 × 0.1
= $50
Based on the calculation, it can be concluded that Zoe’s maximum willingness to pay for the insurance is $50.
McCoy Brothers manufactures and sells two products, A and Z in the ratio of 5:2. Product A sells for $75; Z sells for $95. Variable costs for product A are $35; for Z $40. Fixed costs are $418,500. Compute the contribution margin per composite unit
Answer:
Weighted average contribution margin= $44.29
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales proportion:
Product A= 5/7= 0.714
Product Z= 2/7= 0.286
Product A sells for $75; Z sells for $95.
Variable costs for product A are $35; for Z $40.
To determine the contribution margin per composite unit, we need to use the following formula:
Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)
Weighted average contribution margin= (0.714*75 + 0.286*95) - (0.714*35 + 0.286*40)
Weighted average contribution margin= 80.72 - 36.43
Weighted average contribution margin= $44.29
Assume a company pays tax at a rate of 15% on its first $50,000 of income. Any income above $50,000 is taxed at 25%. If a company has $75,000 of taxable income, which of the following statements is correct?
a. Its marginal tax rate is 15%.
b. Its average tax rate is 25%.
c. Its marginal tax rate is 18.33%.
d. Its average tax rate is 18.33%.
Answer:
Option C, Its marginal tax rate is 18.33%. is correct
Explanation:
The tax payable on its first $50,000 of income is shown below:
tax payable=$50,000*15%=$7500
The tax payable on the remaining balance of $25,000 is computed thus:
tax payable on the balance of $25,000=$25,000*25%=$6250
Total tax payable=$7,500+$6,250=$ 13,750.00
Marginal tax rate=tax payable/taxable income=$ 13,750.00/$75,000=18.33%

Explanation:
On January 1 of the current year (Year 1), our company acquired a truck for $75,000. The estimated useful life of the truck is 5 years or 100,000 miles. The residual value at the end of 5 years is estimated to be $5,000. The actual mileage for the truck was 22,000 miles in Year 1 and 27,000 miles in Year 2. What is the depreciation expense for the second year of use (Year 2) if we use the units of production method
Answer:
The depreciation expense for the second year of use (Year 2) if we use the units of production method is $18,900.
Explanation:
Units of production method is depreciation method that considers the number of units that an asset produces more closely relevant than the number of economic useful life of the assets. The method therefore produces a greater depreciation expenses in years when the assets is heavily put into use.
Under the units of production method, the depreciation expenses for a particular is the original cost of the equipment minus its salvage value, and this is then multiplied by the ratio of the expected number of units the asset should produce in that year to the number of units the asset is expected to produce in its useful life. Mathematically, this can be stated as follows:
Depreciation expenses for a particular = (Cost - Salvage/Residual value) * (Units produced in the year / Total units expected to produce throughout useful life)
To calculate the depreciation expense for the second year of use (Year 2) in this question, use the above formula as follows:
Depreciation expenses in Year 2 = ($75,000 - $5,000) * (27,000 / 100,000) = $70,000 * 0.27 = $18,900
Therefore, the depreciation expense for the second year of use (Year 2) if we use the units of production method is $18,900.
NB - Extra Information that can assist your learning:
Although this is not part of the question, but we can also compute the depreciation expenses for Year 1 in order to compare it with Year 2 as follows:
Depreciation expenses in year 1 = ($75,000 - $5,000) * (22,000 / 100,000) = $70,000 * 0.22 = $15,400.
We can see that the depreciation expenses of $18,900 for Year 2 is greater than the depreciation expenses of $15,400 for Year 1. The reason is that the truck is more heavily used in Year 2 at 27,000 miles than in Year 1 at just 22,000 miles.
For each event listed below, identify the accounts that should be used to record the economic event and the dollar amount for that account. You should enter the letters that correspond to the accounts that should be used, along with the related dollar amounts. Your answers will be evaluated based on whether you have included every account and the related dollar amount that is needed and not included any account that is not needed. An account can be used in analyzing more than one event.A. additional paid-in capitalB. bonds payableC. cashD. common stockE. discount on bonds payableF. equipmentG. interest expenseH. interest payableI. preferred stockJ. premium on bonds payableK. treasury stock(Example:Event: The company purchased equipment, paying cash of $15,0001,) The company issued bonds in the amount of $10,000,000, receiving cash of $9,400,000 at the time of issuance.
Answer: C $9,400,000 E $600,000; B $10,000,000
Explanation:
The Company Issued bonds worth $10,000,000 but only received $9,400,000 in cash.
This means that they issued the Bonds at a discount. With the discount being the difference between how much was issued and how much was received.
This discount will be sent to the Discount on Bonds Payable account.
The Cash received of $9,400,000 will be sent to the cash account.
The company will still have to pay the entire figure of $10,000,000 in bonds so the full amount will go to the Bonds Payable account.
The Journal Entry is thus,
DR Cash $9,400,000
DR Discount on Bonds Payable $600,000
CR Bonds Payable $10,000,000
For each of the following errors, considered individually, indicate whether the error would cause the adjusted trial balance totals to be unequal. If the error would cause the adjusted trial balance totals to be unequal, indicate whether the debit or credit total is higher and by how much.
a. The adjustment for accrued wages of $5,200 was journalized as a debit to Wages Expense for $5,200 and a credit to Accounts Payable for $5,200.
b. The entry for $1,125 of supplies used during the period was journalized as a debit to Supplies Expense of $1,125 and a credit to Supplies of $1,152.
Answer:
a) The debit and credit side of the unadjusted trial balance would be increased by $ 5200.
b) The debit side would remain unchanged. No effect will be seen in the adjusted trial balance.
Explanation:
Effect of adjustments on adjusted Trial Balance.
This first entry would increase the wages expense and increase the liability account in the adjusted trial balance. Both debit and credit side would be increased by an equal amount.
b) This would decrease the Supplies account and increase the supplies expense in the unadjusted account. As both are on the debit side there would be no effect in the debit total.
Sr No Account Debit Credit
Original Entries
a. Wages Expense 5200
Accounts Payable 5200
b. Supplies Expense 1125
Supplies Account 1125
Correct Entries
a. Wages Expense 5200
Accrued Wages Account Payable 5200
b. Supplies Expense 1125
Supplies Account 1125
Difference:
a) We see that the first entry which was original passed the debit side is correct but the credit side would have been of accrued wages instead of accounts payable . This is to raise the amount by which wages are still outstanding by an amount 5200 at the end of the month.
This would decrease the accounts payable increase the wages payable . If the adjustment is not made it the salaries payable is understated .
b)This adjusting entry is correct.
Carla Vista Electronics reported the following information at its annual meetings: The company had cash and marketable securities worth $1,235,455, accounts payables worth $4,159,357, inventory of $7,184,800, accounts receivables of $3,472,300, short-term notes payable worth $1,136,100, and other current assets of $121,455. What is the company's net working capital
Answer:
$6,718,553
Explanation:
Working capital is the net of current assets (Inventory, account receivables, Cash etc) and current liabilities (Accounts payable, short term notes payable etc).
It is a financial measure that gives insight into how liquid a company is. .
As such, the company's working capital
= $1,235,455 - $4,159,357 + $7,184,800 + $3,472,300 - $1,136,100 + $121,455
( the signs are positive for assets and negative for liabilities)
= $6,718,553
Emily is considering purchasing a new home for $400,000. She intends to put 20% down and finance $320,000, but is unsure which financing option to select. Emily is considering the following options: o Option 1: Fixed rate mortgage over 30 years at 8% interest, zero points, or o Option 2: Fixed rate mortgage over 30 years at 4% interest, plus two discount points. How long would her financial planner recommend that she live in the house to break even using Option 2 presuming she is not financing the points
Answer:
The break even for Emily using Option 2 presuming she is not financing the points is 7.8
Explanation:
Solution
In this case, in other to determine this problem, we need to find the monthly payments for both options
For option 1 (EMI)
Where
P = 320,000,
r =0.08/12 = 0.00667
n = 360
Now,
EMI = P *r * (1 + r)^n/ (1 + r)^n -1
So,
EMI =320,000 * 0.00667 * (1 + 0.00667)^360/ (1 + 0.00667)^360
EMI = 23329.56/9.93573
=2348.05
For Option 2
P = 320,000,
n = 360
r = 4%/12 = 0.003333
Thus,
EMI =320,000 * 0.003333 * (1 + 0.003333)^360/ (1 + 0.003333)^360
EMI = 3534.398/2.313498
=1527.73
Note:
When Emily is paying 2 discount point in the second option, she is paying the following:
2% * 320000 = 6400
Also she is saving the following:
2.348.05 - 1527.73
=820.32 on payment (monthly) because of the reduction of EMI in the second option
Thus,
The break even time is =payments due to points/ monthly savings
=6400/820.32
=7.8
In 2010, the BowWow Company purchased 11,752 units from its supplier at a cost of $ 11.73 per unit. BowWow sold 18,971 units of its product in 2010 at a price of $ 24.86 per unit. BowWow began 2010 with $ 864,593 in inventory (inventory is carried at a cost of $ 11.73 per unit). Using this information, compute BowWow's 2010 ending inventory balance (in dollars).
Answer:
Ending inventory balance is $ 779,914.13
Explanation:
The cost of goods sold formula can be used to determine the ending inventory by rearranging the formula and making the ending inventory the subject of the formula:
cost of goods=beginning inventory+inventory purchased-ending inventory
ending inventory=beginning inventory+inventory purchased-costs of goods sold
ending inventory=$864,593+(11,752*$11.73)-(18971*$11.73)=$ 779,914.13
Depreciation associated with a project will: Answer A. cause incremental cash flows to increase B. only affect the fixed asset account as depreciation is a sunk cost C. have no effect on incremental cash flows D. cause incremental operating cash flows to decrease
Answer: A. cause incremental cash flows to increase
Explanation:
Incremental Cashflow (ICF) is the added cash that a company gets from embarking on a project which means that this Cashflow must be independent of expenses. If ICF is positive then the company will see it's Cashflow increase if they accept the project because it will contribute to their cash flow.
ICF is calculated from the Net Income of the project but seeing as Depreciation is a non-cash expense that is removed from the Income Statement. In calculating ICF it is added back as ICF deals with actual cash and Depreciation did not cost any actual cash.
More Depreciation therefore means an increase in Incremental Cash flow when it is being calculated from Net Income.

A jewely firm buys semiprecious stones to make bracelets and rings. The supplier quotes a price of $8.90 per stone for quantities of 600 stones or more, $9.30 per stone for orders of 400 to 599 stones, and $9.80 per stone for lesser quantities. The jewelry firm operates 108 days per year. Usage rate is 26 stones per day, and ordering costs are $406.
a.If carrying costs are $3 per year for each stone,find the order quantity that will minimize total annual cost. (Do not roun d intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number) Order quantity stones _________
b. If annual carrying costs are 28 percent of unit cost, what is the optimal order size? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.) Optimal order size stones ___________
c. If lead time is 4 working days, at what point should the company reorder? (Do not round intermediate calculetions. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number) Reorder quantity stones ___________
Answer:
a. Order quantity that will minimize total cost = 503 stones
b. Optimal order size = 605 stones
c. Reorder point = 104 stones
Explanation:
Demand = 26 stones per day * 108 days = 2808 stones per year
a. Order quantity of Stones:
Economic Order Quantity = [tex]\sqrt{2DS}/H[/tex]
D = Demand, S = Ordering Cost, H = Carrying Cost
= [tex]\sqrt{2*2808*406}[/tex] / 3
EOQ = 503 stones.
b. If Carrying cost is 28% of unit cost then EOQ:
= [tex]\sqrt{2*2808*406}[/tex] / 8.90* 0.28
= 1510 / 2.492 = 605 stones
c. Reorder Point:
= Average Usage per day * Average lead time + Safety stock
= 26 stones per day * 4 working days
= 104.
A company applies overhead at a rate of 150% of direct labor cost. Actual overhead cost for the current period is $1,150,000, and direct labor cost is $565,000. Determine whether there is over- or underapplied overhead using the T-account below. Factory OverheadActual Overhead 950,000 Overapplied overhead 950,000
Answer:
Under applied overheads= $302,500
Explanation:
Overheads are charged to units produced by the means of an estimated overhead absorption rate. This rate is computed using budgeted overhead and budgeted activity level.
As a result of this, overhead charged to total units product might be over or under absorbed compared to the actual amount incurred.
Overhead absorption rate
=budgeted Overhead/Budgeted labour cost × 100
This already given in the question as 150% of the direct labour rate
= 150% of direct labour cost
Applied overhead= OAR× actual labour cost
= 150% × $565,000=$847,500
Under applied overhead = is the difference between actual overhead and applied overhead
$1,150,000 - $847,500 = $302,500
Under applied overheads= $302,500
Here it is under applied because the applied is less than the actual overhead cost
In May direct labor was 40% of conversion cost. If the manufacturing overhead for the month was $120,600 and the direct materials cost was $29,200, the direct labor cost was:
Answer:
direct labor= $80,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
In May direct labor was 40% of conversion cost. The manufacturing overhead for the month was $120,600.
The conversion costs are the sum of direct labor and manufacturing overhead.
Conversion costs= 120,600/0.6= 201,000
direct labor= 210,000*0.4= 80,400

Bolton Tire Manufacturing and the union came to an impasse during negotiation of the collective bargaining agreement. Specifically, they could not agree on the wage increase for the employees. The union representative reported this information to the employees, and they staged a strike without the union's authorization.
A. The employees have engaged in an unfair labor practice strike.
B. The employees have engaged in an economic strike.
C. The employees have engaged in a sitdown strike.
D. None of the choices are correct.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: the employees have engaged in an unfair labor practice strike.
Explanation:
To begin with, due to the fact that the union was already establishing the area for the negotiation and they might have planeed obviously to keep trying to increase the situation in their favour then the action taken by the employees was a bit hurry and was obvious that was not thought very well with calm minds and therefore that they engaged in an unfair labor practice strike because they had to be patience and wait for the union to improve the situation for them, because their are the representatives and if the company sees that the workers do not obey to the representatives then the union will lose negotiation power and the situation will get worse for them.
1. Moss County Bank agrees to lend the Sadowski Brick Company $500,000 on January 1. Sadowski Brick Company signs a $500,000, 6%, 9-month note. What is the adjusting entry required if Sadowski Brick Company prepares financial statements on June 30
Answer:
Debit interest expenses for $15,000
Credit interest payable for $15,000
Explanation:
Since January 1 to June 30 is 6 months, we need to calculate interest expenses for the 6 months as follows:
Monthly interest expenses = ($500,000 * 6%) / 12 = $2,500
Interest expenses for 6 months = $2,500 * 6 = $15,000
The adjusting entry required will therefore look as follws:

Which of the following is not descriptive of external environmental scanning? used as a tool for corporations to avoid strategic surprise used to monitor, evaluate, and disseminate information relevant to the organizational development of strategy used to identify major stockholders used to determine a firm's competitive advantage used as a tool to ensure a corporation's long-term health
Answer:
used to identify major stockholders
Explanation:
Environmental scanning is a management strategy that focuses on systematically acquiring informations about occasions, trends, events or patterns through surveys and analysis of these information in an organisation's external and internal environment. The informations acquired through environmental scanning is then used by the executive management in strategically planning the organisation's future and exploitation of available opportunities for the success of the organization.
The internal environmental scanning offers an organization strength and weakness while the external environmental scanning provides information about opportunities and threats.
Generally, the external environmental scanning gives an overview of the opportunities in the market as well as potential threats to an organization.
Hence, the following are descriptive of an external environmental scanning;
1. Used as a tool for corporations to avoid strategic surprise.
2. Used to monitor, evaluate, and disseminate information relevant to the organizational development of strategy.
3. Used to determine a firm's competitive advantage.
4. Used as a tool to ensure a corporation's long-term health.
T. Boone Pickens football stadium at Oklahoma State University has a seating capacity of about 40,000. Assume the stadium sells out all six home games before the season begins and the athletic department collects $31 million in ticket sales.
Required:
a. What was the average price per season ticket and average price per individual game ticket sold?
b. Record the advance collection of $29 million in ticket sales.
c. Record the revenue earned after the first home game was completed.
Answer:
Total collection of ticket sales is $31 million
Seating capacity is 40,000 tickets
Average price per season ticket = Total collection / Seating capacity
=$31,000,000 / 40,000
=$775
Therefore, the average price per season ticket is $775
Average price per individual game ticket sold = Average price per ticket / Number of games
= 775 / 6
= $129
Therefore, the average price per individual game sold is $129 and the number of games is 6

Demand for dishwasher water pumps is 8 per day. The standard deviation of demand is 3 per day, and the order lead time is four days. The service level is 95%. What should the reorder point be?
Answer:
41.9 units
Explanation:
Reorder point can be defined as the level of inventory which help to triggers an action to replace that particular inventory stock in such a way that when the stock level reduced the item must be reordered because it is the minimum unit quantity that a business owner or an organisation should always have in available inventory before they need to reorder more product.
Using this formula
Reorder point= Demand during the lead time + Z for customer service level * standard deviation * Square root of lead time multiplier.
Where,
Demand during the lead time =(8*4)
Z for customer service level =1.65
Standard deviation =3
Square root of lead time multiplier=4
Let plug in the formula
Reorder point=(8*4) + 1.65*3* square root of(4)
= 41.9 units.
Therefore the Reorder point is 41.9 units

Top management will promote Deborah to corporate headquarters if her division can generate $200,000 of residual income (RI). If Deborah desires to move to corporate, what adjustment must the division do to the amount of annual total fixed costs?
Answer:
The revised fixed costs = $3,640,000
Explanation:
Calculation of Residual Income:
Residual Income = Net income - (Invested capital * Minimum required rate of return)
Net Income = Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
Net Income = (120,000*132) - (120,000*80) - 3,900,000
Net Income = $2,340,000
Invested capital = $15,000,000
Minimum required rate of return = 16%
Therefore, residual income = $2,340,000 - ($15,000,000 * 16%)
= -$60,000
Hence, adjustment to be made to the amount of fixed costs so that residual income becomes $200,000 = $200,000+$60,000 = $260,000
Therefore, revised fixed costs = $3,900,000 - $260,000 = $3,640,000
11.Jones and company had a balance in their retained earnings account at the end of 2020 in the amount of 990,000. They have forecasted net income in 2021 in the amount of 350,000. They pay an estimated 40% of their net income in dividends. What will be the addition to retained earnings at the end of 2021. What will be the ending balance in retained earnings at the end of 2021
Answer:
$210,000 and $1,200,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Given that
Ending Balance in retained earnings = $990,000
Net income = $350,000
Dividend paid in 2021 is
= 40% of net income
= 40% of $350,000
= $140,000
So, the Addition to retained earning is
= Net income - dividends
= $350,000 - $140,000
= $210,000
Now the ending balance in retained earnings is
= Beginning balance in retained earnings + addition to retained earnings
= $990,000 + $210,000
= $1,200,000
In the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because: a. of government regulations. b. of collusion. c. firms are free to enter and exit the market. d. firms produce a differentiated product.
Answer:
c. firms are free to enter and exit the market.
Explanation:
A monopolistically competitive market is a market in which there are a lot of organizations that sell products that are similar and it tends to be easy to enter and leave the industry. Because it is easy for a company to enter the market and there is a lot of competition, in the long run the economic profit is zero. According to this, the answer is that in the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because firms are free to enter and exit the market.
The other options are not right because a monopolistically competitive market has zero profits because of its low entry barriers and amount of competitors not because of government regulations or an illegal agreement between organizations to control competition. Also, in a monopolistically competitive market the products are similar.
CMS Corporation's balance sheet as of today is as follows: Long-term debt (bonds, at par) $10,000,000 Preferred stock 2,000,000 Common stock ($10 par) 10,000,000 Retained earnings 4,000,000 Total debt and equity $26,000,000 The bonds have a 4.0% coupon rate, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. They mature exactly 10 years from today. The yield to maturity is 12%, so the bonds now sell below par. What is the current market value of the firm's debt
Answer:
$5,412,000
Explanation:
Given:
Long-term debt (bonds, at par):$10,000,000
Preferred stock :2,000,000
Common stock ($10 par): 10,000,000
Retained earnings: 4,000,000
Total debt and equity :$26,000,000
Coupon rate = 4%(semi annually)
Par value = $1000
YTM = 12%
Required:
Find the current market value of the firm's debt.
Find the bond price:
Bond price [tex] = (C * (\frac{1 - (\frac{1}{(1+i)^n})}{i}) + (\frac{m}{(1+i)^n}) [/tex]
[tex] = (C * (\frac{1 - (\frac{1}{(1+0.06)^2^0})}{0.06}) + (\frac{1000}{(1+0.06)^2^0}) [/tex]
[tex] = 541.20 [/tex]
Bond price = $541.20
Find number of bonds:
Number of bonds [tex] = \frac{10,000,000}{1,000} = 10,000[/tex]
Now, to find the current market value of the firm's debt, use:
Current market value of debt = number of bonds × bond price
= 10,000 × 541.20
= $5,412,000
Current market value of the firm's debt = $5,412,000
Platen purchased inventory on August 17 and received an invoice with a list price amount of $5,900 and payment terms of 4/10, n/30. Platen uses the net method to record purchases. For what amount should Platen record the purchase
Answer:
$5,664
Explanation:
Calculation of the amount that Platen should record the purchase.
Using this formula
List price -(Percentage of payment term × list price)
Let plug in the formula
$5,900 -(4%×5,900 )
=$5,900-$236
=$5,664
Therefore Platen should record the purchase on August 17 as a:
Debit to Purchases (periodic system) and a Credit to Accounts Payable for $5,664
Therefore the amount that Platen should record the purchase will be $5,664

What is the cost-benefit analysis rule?When possible, cost-benefit analysis involves quantifying and monetizing the potential costs and benefits of regulation and otherwise describing them in qualitative terms.
In general, a cost-benefit analysis is based on three key indicators: the net present value (NPV), the economic rate of return (ERR), and the benefit-cost ratio. Each of these three indicators evaluates the project's viability, and when combined, they provide a realistic picture of the IPF.
Thus, the given statement is true.

When a monopolistically competitive market opens up to international trade, each firm produces a greater quantity of output than it did before. Explain why this is
Answer:
The correct answer is the increase in the amount of buyers.
Explanation:
To begin with, due to the fact that the company is now selling internationally then the market is wide more open for them to increase the portfolio of clients and moreover to increase the amount of sales that the company is having. Therefore that when the company starts to trade internationally it will increase its amount of consumers that will be able to buy from them and also the amount of resellers that can buy from them to buy to final consumers. Primarily, the improvement in the increase of buyers will tend to increase the amount of production that the company is producing and so also the amount of sales so therefore that the company will produce a greater quantity of output than it did before.
You are evaluating an investment that requires $2,000 upfront, and pays $500 at the end of each of the first 2 years, and an additional lump-sum of $1000 at the end of year 2. What would happen to the IRR if the annual payment at the end of the first year go down from $500 to $300 and the annual payment at the end of second year stays at $500
Answer:
The IRR decreases
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
To determine what happens to the IRR when year 1 Cash flow changes, we have to calculate the IRR in both scenarios.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
IRR when year 1 cash flow in $500
Cash flow in year 0 = $-2000
Cash flow in year 1 = $500
Cash flow in year 2 = $500 + $1000 = $1500
IRR = 0
IRR when year 1 cash flow in $500
Cash flow in year 0 = $-2000
Cash flow in year 1 = $300
Cash flow in year 2 = $1500
IRR = -5.57%
The IRR decreases and turns negative
To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
