Answer:
Allocated MOH= $375,700
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated total overhead= $368,900
Estimated direct labor= $217,000
Actual direct labor= $221,000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 368,900/217,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.7 per direct labor dollar
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual labor costs:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.7*221,000
Allocated MOH= $375,700
The Cutting Department has units in process at the end of that are 100% complete for direct materials and % complete for conversion costs. Calculate the equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs.
Answer:
this question is incomplete, so I looked for another question that can be used as an example:
"The Cutting Department has 8,000 units in process at the end of September that are 100% complete for direct materials. The units are 70% complete for direct labor and manufacturing overhead, which is added uniformly. "
the equivalent units of production for direct materials = 8,000 units x 100% = 8,000 equivalent units
the equivalent units of production for conversion costs (direct labor and manufacturing overhead) = 8,000 units x 70% = 5,600 equivalent units
Rick O'Shea, the only employee of Hunter Furniture Company, makes $30,000 per year and is paid once a month. For the month of January, his federal income taxes withheld are $180, state income taxes withheld are $37, social security is 6.2% on a maximum wages of $106,800, Medicare tax is 1.45%, State Unemployment Tax is 4.2%, and Federal Unemployment tax is .8%, both on a maximum wages of $7,000 per employee. What is the employer's payroll tax expense from Rick's paycheck
Answer: $316.25
Explanation:
The taxes paid by the employer are the Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes, Federal unemployment taxes (FUTA) and State unemployment taxes (SUTA).
Rick makes $3,000 a year but is paid monthly.
= 30,000/12
= $2,500
= (6.2% * 2,500) + (1.45% * 2,500) + ( 0.8% * 2,500) + ( 4.2% * 2,500)
= 155 + 36.25 + 20 + 105
= $316.25
Savings Mart is a national retail chain. To entice the company to open a mega store in its jurisdiction, the city of Populationville donated a 20-acre tract of land to be used for construction. The land was originally purchased by the city for $250,000 three years ago. The appraisal value at the time of the donation was $300,000. For what amount should Savings Mart record the donated land
Answer:
$300,000
Explanation:
As per the Internal service revenue (IRS) and Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), when the entity who is profit making received any fixed asset as a donation than the same assets should be recorded at the fair value amount
Here the purchase price is $250,000 and the appraisal value i.e. fair value is $300,000
So the amount of donating the land should be recorded at $300,000
Sidewinder, Inc., has sales of $634,000, costs of $328,000, depreciation expense of $73,000, interest expense of $38,000, and a tax rate of 21 percent. What is the net income for this firm? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer:
$154,050
Explanation:
The computation of the net income for the firm is shown below:
Sales $634,000
Less: costs -$328,000
Less: depreciation -$73,000
EBIT -$233,000
Less: interest -$38,000
EBT 195,000
Less: tax(195,000 × 21%) -$40,950
Net income $154,050
We simply deduct all expenses ,interest and taxes from the sales revenue so that the net income could come and the same is to be considered
Which of the following is true of external recruiting, compared to internal recruiting?
A. It encourages greater employee loyalty.
B. The process is cheaper.
C. The pool of talent is more limited.
D. It creates the need for multiple recruitments.
E. The process takes longer.
Answer:
The answer is E. The process takes longer
Explanation:
External recruitment is the process of announcing vacancies to the people outside ones organization while Internal recruitment is the process of announcing vacancies for the internal staffs only.
The process of external recruitment is usually longer and more expensive than internal recruitment. For example, payment to publish the vacancies in any national newspapers or payment for outsourcing company that specializes in recruitment.
Option A is wrong because external recruitment discourages employee loyalty.
Option B in incorrect because this is so for internal recruitment
The market capitalization rate for Admiral Motors Company is 8%. Its expected ROE is 10% and its expected EPS is $5. The firm's plowback ratio is 60%. a. Calculate the growth rate. (Input your answer as a nearest whole percent.) b. What will be its P/E ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
(A) 6%
(B) 20
Explanation:
The market capitalization rate for Admiral motors is 8%
= 8/100
= 0.08
The expected ROE is 10%
= 10/100
= 0.1
The expected EPS is $5
The Plowback ratio is 60%
= 60/100
= 0.6
(A) The growth rate can be calculated as follows
= Plowback ratio × ROE
= 0.6 × 0.1
= 0.06×100
= 6%
Hence the growth rate is 6%
(B) The P/E ratio can be calculated as follows
= 1-0.6/0.08-0.06
= 0.4/0.02
= 20
Hence the P/E ratio is 20

b. Given the two investment strategies in (a), which will investors choose?
Answer:
a) $67,250
b) $68,500
c) Investment in Day Company results in a higher return, so I guess investors would probably go for it.
Explanation:
Knight Company's net income = $750,000 - $77,500 = $672,500
total investment in Knight Company = $2,300,000 / 10% = $230,000
earnings per 1$ invested = $672,500 / $2,300,000 = $0.292391
total cash flow = $230,000 x $0.292391304 = $67,250
Day Company's net income = $750,000
earnings per 1$ invested = $750,000 / $3,600,000 = $0.208333333
total investment in Day Company = $360,000, but I borrowed $130,000 to make this investment. The $130,000 will result in $6,500 annual interest payments
total cash flow = ($360,000 x $0.208333333) - $6,500 = $75,000 - $6,500 = $68,500

mike operates a hair cutting salon that specialize in providing quick walk in service just about any type of hair. He deals with customers as they walk in the door. This includes writing down the customers name and what they desire in terms of hair cut
Complete Question:
Mike operates a hair-cutting salon that specializes in providing quick walk-in service for just about any type of haircut. He deals with customers as they walk in the door. This includes writing down the customer's name and what they desire in terms of haircut, wash, dry, and so on. This process usually takes two minutes. If no hair stylist is available, the customer then goes to the waiting area, where he/she is processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. The salon has five hair stylists who work eight hours each day. It takes, on average, 25 minutes for a stylist to greet the customer, wash and/or cut his hair, and wish him a fond farewell. Then Mike completes the process by taking the customer's money and telling him about the satisfaction guarantee offered by the shop. This final set of steps takes two minutes on average.
Requirement 1. Assuming that the waiting area always has at least one customer in it, how many customers on average can Mike's salon process in a day (assuming no problems in utilization, quality, or efficiency)?
Answer:
96 Customers
Explanation:
The time taken to process one customer includes:
Time taken by each Hair stylist to tailor the hairs of customer is 25 Minutes
Now
Time taken to process total customer in a day = Total hours available / Total time consumed by each customer
Here
Number of stylists are 5 and working hours are 8 Hrs per stylist which means total number of hours are 40 Hours per day.
By putting values, we have:
Time taken to process total customer in a day = 40 Hours / (29/60)
= 96 customers per day
Which of the following is not a condition that must be satisfied before interest capitalization can begin on a qualifying asset?
a) Interest has been paid to the bank
b) Interest cost is being incurred
c) Expenditures for the assets have been made
d) Activities that are necessary to get the asset ready for its intended use are in progress
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
Cost of an asset includes the purchase price and other cost that are necessary to get the asset ready for its intended use and all these costs must be capitalized. Interest (borrowing cost) according to IAS 23( borrowing cost) states Interest directly involved in acquisition or construction or producing of qualifying assets must be capitalized i.e included in the cost of the asset.
If a two-stock portfolio is equally invested in stocks with betas of 1.4 and 0.7, then the portfolio beta is:_______.
A. 0.70.
B. 1.05.
C. 1.40.
D. 2.10.
Answer:
Beta= 1.05
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A two-stock portfolio is equally invested in stocks with betas of 1.4 and 0.7.
To calculate the Beta of the portfolio, we need to use the following formula:
Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B)
Beta= (0.5*1.4) + (0.5*0.7)
Beta= 1.05
An individual wants to have $95,000 per year to live on when she retires in 30 years. The individual is planning on living for 20 years after retirement. If the investor can earn 6% during her retirement years and 10% during her working years, how much should she be saving during her working life? (Hint: Treat all calculations as annuities.)
Answer:
annual contribution = $6,624.25
total amount saved in 30 years = $1,089,650
Explanation:
time until retiring = 30 years
interest rate earned until retiring = 10%
she plans to live 20 years after retiring
interest rate earned after retiring = 6%
expected distribution = $95,000 per year
in order for her to be able to have the 20 payments of $95,000, she will need:
= annual payment x PV annuity factor
annual payment = $95,000PV annuity factor (6%, 20 periods) = 11.470total amount needed = $95,000 x 11.47 = $1,089,650
in order to determine the annual contribution we need to use the future value of an annuity formula:
FV = annual payment x FV annuity factor
FV = $1,089,650FV annuity factor (10%, 30 periods) = 164.494annual payment = $1,089,650 / 164.494 = $6,624.25

Suppose a U.S. Treasury bond will pay $2,500 five years from now. If the prevailing interest rate on 5-year Treasury bonds is 4.25%, compounded semiannually, the value of the bond today is closest to:
Answer:
The value of the bond today is closest to $1648.85
Explanation:
The value of the bond today is closest to:
Present Value = FV / (1+i)^n *m
FV= 2500
I = 4.25 = 0.0425
N= 5
M= 2
The value of the bond today = 2500 / (1+0.0425) ^5*2
The value of the bond today = 2500 / 1.516214468
The value of the bond today = 1648.853256
The value of the bond today = $1648.85
Consider a risky portfolio, A, with an expected rate of return of 0.15 and a standard deviation of 0.15, that lies on a given indifference curve. Which one of the following portfolios might lie on the same indifference curve?
A. E(r) = 0.15; Standard deviation = 0.20.
B. E(r) = 0.15; Standard deviation = 0.10.
C. E(r) = 0.10; Standard deviation = 0.10.
D. E(r) = 0.20; Standard deviation = 0.15.
E. E(r) = 0.10; Standard deviation = 0.20.
Answer: C. E(r) = 0.10; Standard deviation = 0.10.
Explanation:
An indifference curve is plotted by graphing the various combinations of portfolios such that the customer in question is indifferent between them as they regard the combinations as giving them equal utility.
For portfolios to be on the same indifference curve they would have to provide the same reward - risk ratio. The reward to risk ratio of the portfolio in question is;
=Expected return/standard deviation'
= 0.15/0.15
= 1.0
Any portfolio with this same reward - risk ratio will be on the same curve.
The Portfolio in Option C has the same reward - risk ratio (0.1 - 0.1) and so will lie on the same indifference curve.
Consider a project with only positive cash flows after year 0. If the company felt that the risk of the project was less than original estimates, which of the following would occur?
Answer: Required Rate of Return Net Present Value Internal Rate of Return
A Higher Higher Lower
B Higher Lower No change
C No Change Higher No change
D Lower Lower Higher
E Lower Higher No Change
Answer:
E
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the rate used to discount cash flows when calculating NPV. the more risky a project is, the higher the required rate of return. So, if it is perceived that the project is less risky, the required rate of return would decrease.
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Because the required rate of return is used to discount cash flows when calculating NPV, a lower rate would increase NPV
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested. The required rate is not needed when calculating IRR. so, there would be no change in IRR if discount rate is lowered.
Meenach Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on 66,000 direct labor-hours, total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $99,000, and a variable manufacturing overhead rate of $4.50 per direct labor-hour. Recently Job X387 was completed and required 220 direct labor-hours.
Required:
Calculate the amount of overhead applied to Job X387. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $1,320
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated fixed overhead= $99,000
Estimated variable overhead= $4.5 per unit
Estimated direct labor hour= 66,000
Recently Job X387 was completed and required 220 direct labor-hours.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (99,000/66,000) + 4.5
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 6*220
Allocated MOH= $1,320
You are planning to make monthly deposits of $70 into a retirement account that pays 12 percent interest compounded monthly. If your first deposit will be made one month from now, how large will your retirement account be in 24 years
Answer:
FV= $115,928.81
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly deposit= $70
Interest rate= 0.12/12= 0.01
n= 24*12= 288
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {70*[(1.01^288) - 1]} / 0.01
FV= $115,928.81
If a firm's forecasted sales are $250,000 and its break-even sales are $190,000, the margin of safety in dollars is:_________.
a) $60,000.
b) $250,000.
c) $190,000.
d) $440,000.
e) $24,000.
Answer:
a. $60000
Explanation:
The forecasted sales of the firm = $250000
Breakeven sales of the firm = $190000
We have to find the margin of safety by using the above given information. Therefore, it can be determined by subtracting the breakeven sales from sales.
The margin of safety = sales – breakeven sales
The margin of safety = 250000 – 190000
The margin of safety = $60000
Thus, option A is correct.

What is the lowest setting in ounces for the filling machine that will provide capability in terms of the six-bar box? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to 3 decimal places.)
Lowest setting ? in ounces
Answer:
A) ≈ 3.509 grams
B) The process is not capable because the lowest Cpk which is 1.89 ≈ 1.9 is far from the ideal 1.33 capability index number ( NO )
c) 1.051 ounces
Explanation:
A) The largest standard deviation ( in grams)
This can be calculated applying the capability index formula and according to the capability index formula the value at which a process is capable is at : 1.33
hence the largest standard deviation = upper limit - lower limit / 6 * 1.33
( 354 - 326 ) / 7.98 = 3.5087 ≈ 3.509 grams
B) we first calculate the process mean and std of the box
standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{variance }[/tex]
std of the six-bar box = [tex]\sqrt{6*0.86^2}[/tex] = 2.106
process mean = 6 * ( 1.03 * 28.33) = 175.079
the mean is not centered between the upper specification and the lower specification hence we will apply the formulae used in calculating the capability index for an uncentered process
Cpk = (upper value - process mean) / (3 * std of box),
= (187 - 175.079) / ( 3 * 2.106) = 11.921 / 6.318 = 1.89
Cpk = (process mean - lower value ) / (3*std of box)
= ( 175.079 - 153 ) / (3 * 2.106) = 22.079 / 6.318 = 3.49
The process is not capable because the lowest Cpk which is 1.89 ≈ 1.9 is far from the ideal 1.33 capability index number ( N0 )
c ) lowest setting
calculate the value of the mean using capability index of 1.33
Cpk = (upper value - mean ) / 3 * std
mean = 187 - 1.33 * 3 * 2.106
= 187 - 8.40 = 178.60 grams
Cpk = ( process mean - lower value ) / 3 * std
mean = 1.33 * 3 * 2.106 + 153
= 8.40 + 153 = 161.40 grams
the lowest setting in ounces
= 178.60 / ( 6 bar * 28 .33)
= 178.60 / 169.98 = 1.051 ounces
The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 20 percent next year and then decreasing the growth rate to a constant 5 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $1 per share. What is the current value of a share if the required rate of return is 14 percent?
Answer:
Current value per share is $13.33
Explanation:
The two stage growth model of DDM can be used to calculate the price of the share today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The price of this stock under this model can be calculated as follows,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + [ (D0 * (1+g1) * (1+g2) / (r - g2)) / (1+r) ]
Where,
g1 is the initial growth rate which is 20% g2 is the constant growth rate which is 5% r is the required rate of return
P0 = 1 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.14) + [ (1 * (1+0.2) * (1+0.05) / (0.14 - 0.05)) / (1+0.14) ]
P0 = $13.33
The Equal Employment Opportunity Act gave the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission the authority to:
Answer:
issue guidelines for employer conduct in administering equal employment opportunity programs.
Explanation:
This act known as the The Equal Employment Opportunity Act was enacted to check discrimination and unfair treatment against minorities such as African Americans. This act has given the right to sue whenever any form of discrimination based on race, skin color, religious affiliation is found in the work place.
Therefore the correct answer is issue guidelines for employer conduct in administering equal employment opportunity programs.
