Adam Holmes is the Processing Manager of Empire Mortgage Company, a firm that processes loan applications for a number of regional builders. Home buying and therefore mortgage processing is a highly seasonal business, and requires temporary staff during busy processing periods. Holmes hires staff on a monthly basis from two different temporary staffing firms - Professional Temps (PT) and Support on Demand (SD). In June, Empire hired 14 staff members from PT and 10 from SD. PT is a more established firm and SD is a newly organized firm in the staffing market. Holmes has compiled the following information for June:


Budgets for June PT staff SD staff
Budgeted hourly rate $50 $45
Budgeted time per app. (hours) 1.2 1.4

Actual results for June PT staff SD staff
Actual hourly rate $52 $47
Actual time per app. (hours) 1.4 1.2
Number of actual apps completed 2604 1600

Required:
a. Determine the labor rate and efficiency variances for (a) 14 PT staff and (b) the SD staff hired in June.
b. Comment on the efficiency of the PT and SD staff hired by Empire Mortgage.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Labor variances for 14 PT staff:

Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)

= ($50 - $52) x 1.40 x 2,604

= $7291.20 (Unfavorable)

Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate

= [(1.20 * 2,604) - (1.40 * 2,604)] * $50

= [3,124.80 - 3,645.60] * $50

= $26,040 (Unfavorable)

Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance

= $7,291.20 (Unfavorable) + $ 26,040 (Unfavorable)

= $33,331.20 (Unfavorable)

Labor variances for 10 SD staff:

Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)

= ($45 - $47) * 1.20 * 1,600

= $3840 (Unfavorable)

Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate

= (1.40*1,600) – (1.20*1,600)]*$45

= [2,240 – 1,920] * $45

= $14,400 (Favorable)

Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance

= $3,840 (Unfavorable) + $ 14,400 (Favorable)  

= $10,560 (Favorable)

Your client, Bob, is the CEO of a corporation that has 12 stockholders who are also the only employees of the business. The corporation operates a boat dealership in Sherman, Texas. The corporation has accumulated earnings and profits of $3,000,000, not including the current year’s taxable income, which is expected to be $800,000. No dividends have been paid to stockholders. Bob has been very pleased with the corporation’s performance and he wants to reward the stockholders.
1. Why should Bob declare a cash dividend over giving stockholders a bonus?2. Why should Bob not consider paying a larger year-end bonus to his employee/stockholders’

Answers

Answer:

1. Why should Bob declare a cash dividend over giving stockholders a bonus?

Bob should not declare a cash dividend, instead he should give the employees/stockholders a bonus. A corporation distributes dividends with their after tax income, while bonuses actually decrease net income and lowers taxes. it is always better to pay less taxes.

2. Why should Bob not consider paying a larger year-end bonus to his employee/stockholders’.

In this case, if you have to choose between declaring a dividend or paying a bonus, Bob should definitely pay a bonus. But the bonus should not be larger than the corporation's expected income. It is not a good idea to incur in an operating loss due to huge bonuses.

A. Applying for several credit cards in one year can help
increase your credit score.
B. People with low credit scores are usually low-risk
borrowers.
C. The longer you use credit responsibly, the higher your
credit score will be.
D. Paying off your entire credit card balance can lower
your credit score.

Answers

Answer:

C. The longer you use credit responsibly, the higher your

credit score will be.

Explanation:

A credit card allows its user to access a short term loan. Every payment made via a credit card is considered a loan. The loan attracts interest monthly. Defaulting on credit card payments is similar to defaulting on any other loan type.

Responsible use of a credit card entails using it only when necessary. It means making prompt payments to clear monthly bills.

Credit card history is important information when tabulating an individual's credit score.  Anyone who uses their credit card responsibly ends up with a good credit score.

Atlantic Video, a small video rental store in Philadelphia, is open 24 hours a day, and-due to its proximity to a major business school-experiences customers arriving around the clock. A recent analysis done by the store manager indicates that there are 30 customers arriving every hour, with a standard deviation of interarrival times of 2 minutes. This arrival pattern is consistent and is independent of the time of day. The checkout is currently operated by one employee, who needs on average 1.7 minutes to check out a customer. The standard deviation of this check-out time is 3 minutes, primarily as a result of customers taking home different numbers of videos.

Required:
a. If you assume that every customer rents at least one video (i.e., has to go to the checkout), what is the average time a customer has to wait in line before getting served by the checkout employee (i.e., waiting time in queue)?
b. If there are no customers requiring checkout, the employee is sorting returned videos, of which there are always plenty waiting to be sorted. How many videos can the employee sort over an 8-hour shift (assume no breaks) if it takes exactly 1.5 minutes to sort a single video?
c. What is the average number of customers who are at the checkout desk, either waiting or currently being served?

Answers

Answer:

A.19.82 minutes

B. 48 sorts

C. 10.75

Explanation:

A. Calculation for the average time

Based on Interarrival time 30 customers per hour will give us 1 customer per 2 minutes

Hence,

a = 2 min

Cva= 1

Process time which is p = 1.7 min

CVp will be :3 min/1.7 min = 1.765

Utilization will be calculated as :p/a = 1.7/2 = 0.85

Now let find the average time

Tq= 1.7 x [0.85/(1-0.85)]x[(1^2 + 1.765^2)/2]

Tq= 19.82 minutes

Therefore the average time will be 19.82 minutes

B. Calculation for How many videos can be sort

Utilization will be calculated as: p/a = 1.7/2 = 0.85

Idle time will be calculated as : 0.15 x 8 hours

Idle time = 1.2 hours =

1.2 hours converted to minutes will be 72 minutes

Hence,

Number of videos sorted = 72 minutes / 1.5

Number of videos sorted = 48 sorts

Therefore the numbers of video that can be sort will be 48 sort

C. Calculation for the average number of customers who are at the checkout desk

Tq= 19.82 minutes

p = 1.7

T = Tq+ p = 21.52 minutes

Iq= R x Tq= 1/a x 19.82 = 0.5

Iq=0.5 * 19.82

Iq = 9.9 customers

Hence we are going to use this formula to find the average number of customers

I = Iq+ Ip= Iq+ u

Let plug in the formula

I= 9.9 + 0.85

I= 10.75

Therefore the average number of customers who are at the checkout desk will be 10.75

Julie Brown is a single woman in her late 20s. She is renting an apartment in the fashionable part of town for $1,000 a month. After much thought, she's seriously considering buying a condominium for $175,000. She intends to put 20 percent down and expects that closing costs will amount to another $5,000; a commercial bank has agreed to lend her money at the fixed rate of 6 percent on a 15-year mortgage. Julie would have to pay an annual condominium owner's insurance premium of $560 and property taxes of $1,000 a year (she's now paying renter's insurance of $550 per year). In addition, she estimates that annual maintenance expenses will be about 0.5 percent of the price of the condo (which includes a $30 monthly fee to the property owners' association). Julie's income puts her in the 25 percent tax bracket (she itemizes her deductions on her tax returns), and she earns an after-tax rate of return on her investments of around 4 percent.

Required:
a. Evaluate and compare Julie’s alternatives of remaining in the apartment or purchasing the condo.
b. Working with a friend who is a realtor, Julie has learned that condos like the one that she’s thinking of buying are appreciating in value at the rate of 3.5 percent a year and are expected to continue doing so. Would such information affect the rent-or-buy decision made in a?
c. Discuss any other factors that should be considered when making a rent-or-buy decision.
d. Which alternative would you recommend for Julie in light of your analysis?

Answers

Answer:

a. Julie should continue live in her own apartment.

b. She should then purchase the condo

c. Home maintenance cost and tax benefit.

d. She should live in her own apartment and rent the condo after purchase.

Explanation:

Buying cost of condo $175,000

Loan interest amount  $8,400 [ $175,000 * 80% * 6%]

Insurance premium $10  [560 - 550]

Property taxes $1,000

Maintenance expense $875  [$175,000 * 0.5%]

Total additional cost per year $10,280

If Julie plans to buy the condo she will have to incur additional cost of $10,280 per annum.

b. If the price of condo increases by 3.5% per year then she should consider buying the condo.

Tasty Subs acquired a delivery truck on October 1, 2021, for $25,600. The company estimates a residual value of $1,600 and a six-year service life. Required: Calculate depreciation expense using the straight-line method for 2021 and 2022, assuming a December 31 year-end.

Answers

Answer:

Depreciation Expense 2021= $1,000

Depreciation Expense 2022= $4,000

Explanation:

Calculation for depreciation expense using the straight-line method for 2021 and 2022

Using this formula

Depreciation = ( Cost   −   Residual Value )/

Useful Life

Where,

Cost of Truck on October 1,2021= $25,600

Residual Value = $1,600

Useful life of truck = 6 years service life

Let plug in the formula

2021

Depreciation Expense = $25,600 - $1,600 / 6 years * 3/12

Depreciation Expense 2021= $1,000

Note October 1 to 31 December 2021 will give us 3 months

2022

Depreciation Expense=$25,600 - $1,600 / 6 years

Depreciation Expense 2022= $4,000

Therefore the Depreciation Expense for 2021 will be $1,000 while the Depreciation Expense for 2022 will be $4,000

Hector was prosecuted following police seizure of 80 pounds of drugs from his airplane. The seizure was held to be unlawful, the evidence was sup- pressed, and the suit against Hector was dismissed. He sued the government officials involved in his arrest and prosecution to recover $3,500 in bail bond expenses, $23,000 in attorney's fees, and $2,000 in travel costs. The district court held he could not recover the costs incurred during the criminal prosecution. Hector appealed. Can he recover the costs? (Hector v. Watt, 235 F.3d 154, 3rd Cir. (2000)]

Answers

Answer:

Hector will lose.

Explanation:

If someone suffers an illegal search or seizure, he/she can recover any costs associated with that incident, e.g. property damage, injuries (both physical or to their reputation, lawyers, etc.). But if the illegal search actually results in some criminal evidence being discovered, then you cannot recover any costs.  Anything seized illegally will be dismissed, but the reward is not going to jail even if they committed a crime, they get no money back.

Why only ask for a refund of his lawyer's fees, he should also ask for a refund for the value of the drugs? This lawsuit is absolutely ridiculous.

The inventory of a large grocery store client is material, and it is the largest current asset on the balance sheet. The cost of inventory items ranges from very small amounts (like individual candy at the checkout line) to larger amounts (like prime meat and specialty deli items). Typical risks for a grocery store are theft and spoilage of inventory. During the second quarter, the client caught three employees in a scheme of stealing produce and meats from the store and selling them, at a discount, to friends and family. Based on an investigation by authorities and store management, the scheme had been operating for about two months.

Required:
Based on the information, evaluate which accounts and assertions are at risk of misstatement.

Answers

Answer:

The auditor of the large grocery store can identify the accounts at risk of misstatement to include Inventory account, Cost of Goods Sold account, and Accounts Payable account.  They have some relationships.  A misstatement in the Inventory account will lead to a misstatement in the Cost of Goods Sold, which eventually affects the Net Income.

The auditor should be aware that the assertions that are at risk of misstatement include existence, completeness, accuracy and valuation, and disclosure of Inventory.  Assuming that the pilfering scheme had gone on for more months, the employees could have devised more sinister schemes.

Explanation:

The management of this large grocery store must attest to the assertions of existence, completeness, rights and obligations, accuracy and valuation, and presentation and disclosure with regard to the accuracy of the information contained in the financial statements: the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows.  This implies that its management must declare that it has truthfully measured and presented the financial information about its activities.

Tom Cruise Lines Inc. issued bonds five years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 20-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 13 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point as described below:
Real rate of return 4 %
Inflation premium 5
Risk premium 4
Total return 13 %
Assume that five years later the inflation premium is only 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 15 years remaining until maturity. Use Appendix B and Appendix D.

Answers

Answer:

"1143.817" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

According to the question:

Risk premium is:

= [tex]4+3+4[/tex]

= [tex]11 \ percent[/tex]

K = N          

⇒  Bond Price = [tex]\Sigma [\frac{Coupon}{(1 + YTM)^k} ] + \frac{Per \ value}{(1 + YTM)^N}[/tex]

[tex]k = 1[/tex]

K = 15  

On putting the values, we get

⇒  Bond Price = [tex]\Sigma [\frac{13\times \frac{1000}{100} }{(1 + \frac{11}{100})^k} ] + \frac{1000}{(1 + \frac{11}{100} )^{15}}[/tex]

c. Estimate the total cost if the company produces 8,170 units.

Answers

Answer & Explanation:

a. Using the high-low method, Variable cost per unit is;

[tex]= \frac{Highest Variable Cost - Lowest Variable Cost}{Highest number of units - Lowest number of Units} \\\\= \frac{17,492 - 14,860}{10,480 - 8,600} \\\\= $1.40[/tex]

= $1.40

b. Fixed Cost

= Total Cost at lowest unit - Variable costs at lowest unit

= 14,860 - (1.4 * 8,600)

= $‭2,820‬

c. Variable cost at 8,170 units + Fixed cost

= (8,170 * 1.4) + 2,820

= $‭14,258‬

20. The consumer price index was 120 in 2013 and 126 in 2014. The nominal interest rate during this period was 8 percent. What was the real interest rate during this period? A) 3 percent B) 2 percent C) 3.3 percent D) 5.2 percent E) 12.8 percent

Answers

Answer: 3%

Explanation:

To calculate the real interest rate, it should be noted that the inflation rate is needed and this can be calculated using the consumer price index as:

= [(126-120)/120] × 100

= 6/120 × 100

= 5%

Real interest rate will now be:

= Nominal Rate - Inflation Rate

= 8% - 5%

= 3%

Farr Corp. purchased a new delivery van on January 1, 2020 and chose to use the double declining balance depreciation method. The van cost $48,000 with an estimated life of five years and a $12,000 salvage value. After the year end adjustment, how much accumulated depreciation would be recorded on the van at December 31, 2021

Answers

Answer:

$30,720

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the depreciation for 2020.

Depreciation for 2020 = ($48,000 cost - 0) × 40%

= $19,200

Depreciation for 2021 = ($48,000 cost - $19,200 depreciation 2020) × 40%

= $11,520

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2021

= $11,520 + $19,200

= $30,720

The value of $30,720 will be recorded as accumulated depreciation on the value of the van at December 31, 2021.

• Note, the asset's annual depreciation will be 20% of the depreciation cost since its useful life is 5. It will however be 40% since we are using the double declining balance method.

Your neighbor is asking you to invest in a venture that will double your money in 7 year(s). Compute the annual rate of return that he is promising you?

Answers

Answer: 10.3%

Explanation:

The Rule of 72 is useful here. The rule of 72 can be used to calculate the amount of time it would take to double an investment by dividing 72 by the interest rate.

As we already have the number of years the formula is;

7 = 72/i

i = 72/7

i = 10.3%

Answer and Explanation:

Answer and explanation attached

At year-end 2018, Marvel Company total assets were $4.5 million, and its accounts payable were $850,000. Sales, which in 2018 were $5.5 million, are expected to increase by 25% in 2019. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Marvel typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $ 2.25 million in 2018, and retained earnings were $150,000. Marvel has arranged to sell $25,000 of new common stock in 2019 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2019. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 2.5%, and 55% of earnings will be paid out as dividends.

Required:
a. What were Marvel's total long-term debt and total liabilities in 2018?
b. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2019?

Answers

Answer:

Marvel Company

a. Marvel's total long-term debt in 2018 = $1,250,000

a2. Marvel's total liabilities = $2,100,000 ($850,000 +$1,250,000)

b. New long-term debt financing needed in 2019 = $810,156

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Year-end 2018:

Total assets = $4.5 million

Accounts payable $850,000

Sales = $5.5 million

Common Stock = $2.25 million

Retained Earnings = $150,000

Long-term debt = Total assets Minus (Accounts payable + Equity)

= $4,500,000 - ($850,000 + 2,250,000 + 150,000)

= $1,250,000

Year 2019:

Sales = $6,875,000 ($5.5 million * 1.25)

Net profit margin on sales = $171,875 (2.5% * $6,875,000)

Dividends = 55% of earnings = $94,531 (55% * $171,875)

Retained earnings for the year =  $77,344

Retained earnings for 2018:         150,000

Retained earnings, 2019:           $227,344

Common Stock = $2,275,000 ($2,250,000 + $25,000)

Total equity = $2,502,344 ($2,250,000 + 227,344)

Total assets = $5,625,000 ($4.5 million * 1.25)

Accounts payable = $1,062,500 ($850,000 * 1.25)

Long-term debt = Total Assets - (Total equity + Accounts Payable)

= $5,625,000 - ($2,502,344 + 1,062,500)

= $2,060,156

Increase in long-term debt = $810,156 ($2,060,156 - $1,250,000)
