Answer:
a) Predetermined overhead rate is 210%
b. Overhead is under-applied by $42,700
c. Particulars Debit credit
cost of goods sold $42,700 $42,700
factory overhead
Explanation:
Beginning of the year
Overhead costs = $840,000
Direct materials costs = $400,000
End of the year actual overhead cost = $1,151,500
Jobs completed and sold = $390,000
Jobs in finished goods inventory = $83,000
Jobs in work in process inventory = $55,000
Total actual direct materials cost = $528,000
a. Calculating the predetermined overhead rate= (Overhead ÷direct labor) × 100
Predetermined overhead rate= ($840,000 ÷ $400,000) × 100
= 210%
b. Factory overhead
Actual overhead = $1,151,500
Applied overhead = $528000 × 210% = $1,108,800
Difference = actual overhead- applied overhead
= $1,151,500 - $1,108,800
= $42,700 Under-applied overhead
c. Adjusting entry to allocate the above under-applied overhead cost of goods sold
Particulars Debit credit
cost of goods sold $42,700 $42,700
factory overhead
Ikerd Company applies manufacturing overhead to jobs on the basis of machine hours used. Overhead costs are estimated to total $300,000 for the year, and machine usage is estimated at 125,000 hours.
For the year, $322,000 of overhead costs are incurred and 130,000 hours are used.
Required:
A) Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year.B) What is the amount of under- or overapplied overhead at December 31st?C) Prepare the adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold.
Answer:
A. $2.40 per Machine hour
B. Underapplied = $10,000
C. cost of goods sold (debit) $10,000 , overheads (credit) $10,000
Explanation:
A) Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year
Overhead Rate = Total Fixed Overheads / Budgeted Activity
= $300,000 / 125,000 Machine hours
= $2.40 per Machine hour.
B) What is the amount of under- or over applied overhead at December 31st?
Under Applied Overheads = Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads
Over Applied Overheads = Actual Overheads < Applied Overheads
Actual Overheads = $322,000
Applied Overheads = $2.40 × 130,000 hours = $ 312,000
Underapplied = $10,000
C) Prepare the adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold.
cost of goods sold (debit) $10,000
overheads (credit) $10,000
Answer:
A. The manufacturing overhead rate for the year is $2.40
B. The amount of under- or overapplied overhead at December 31st is $10,000
C. The adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold would be as follows:
Debit Credit
cost of goods sold $10,000
Manufacturing overhead 10,000
Explanation:
A. To calculate the manufacturing overhead rate for the year we would have to use the following formula:
manufacturing overhead rate=Estimated overhead cost/Estimated machine hours usage
manufacturing overhead rate=$300,000/125,000
manufacturing overhead rate=$2.40
B. To Calculate the amount of under applied or over applied overhead cost we would have to use the following formula:
manufacturing overhead cost applied=Total machine hours used*manufacturing overhead rate
manufacturing overhead cost applied=130,000*$2.40
manufacturing overhead cost applied=$312,000
under- or overapplied overhead cost=Actual manufactured overhead costs-Manufacturing overhead cost applied
under- or overapplied overhead cost= $322,000-$312,000
under- or overapplied overhead cost= $10,000
C. The adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold would be as follows:
Debit Credit
cost of goods sold $10,000
Manufacturing overhead 10,000

Wozniacki and Wilcox form Jewel LLC, with each receiving a one-half interest in the capital and profits of the LLC. Wozniacki receives his one-half interest as compensation for tax planning services he rendered prior to the formation of the LLC. Wilcox contributes $50,000 cash. The value of a one-half capital interest in the LLC (for each of the parties) is $50,000.
How much income does Wozniacki recognize as a result of this transaction, and what is the character of the income?
Answer:
Recognize the $50,000 as a compensation income received.
Explanation:
The reason is that the Compensation of $50,000 that Wozniacki received for the services that he previously used to render which means this whole amount received must be recognized as income.
Some traits of successful individuals in our industry, as mentioned by Aimee Mangold of KOLTER Hospitality included: drive, intelligence, self-confidence, the desire to influence others, relevant knowledge, and honesty/moral character. Unfortunately, these same traits do not apply to other fields outside of the hospitality and tourism industry to any great extent.
O True
O False
Answer:
The correct answer is the second option: False.
Explanation:
To begin with, the fact that those characteristics in individuals in that industry make it more successful does not mean that the industry mentioned is the only one with those characteristics in the individuals. Actually, it is quite understandable to find individuals with those abilities that make an industry to be better than other, that is the case of the technology industry where most of the workers must have those skills in order to achieve the goals that they look for. So that is why that it is false that those traits do not apply to other fields.
Lucy and Fred want to begin saving for their baby's college education. They estimate that they will need $120,000 in eighteen years. If they are able to earn 5% per annum (compounded annually), how much must be deposited at the end of each of the next eighteen years to fund the education? (The future value of a single sum for 18 periods at 5% is 2.40662; The future value of an ordinary annuity of 1 for 18 periods at 5% is 28.13238).
Answer:
$4,265.55
Explanation:
Future value = $120,000
Interest rate (i) = 5%
Annual deposit = ?
Time period (n) = 18 year
Since deposit are to be made at the beginning of each year, hence the relevant factor table to be used is future value annuity due factor table.
Future value = Annual deposit x future value annuity due factor (i%, n)
120,000 = Annual deposit x FVADF (5%, 18period)
120,000 = Annual deposit x 28.13238
Annual deposit = 120,000/28.13238
=$4,265.547
=$4,265.55
The number of parking tickets issued in a certain city on any given weekday has a Poisson distribution with parameter = 50.
(a) Calculate the approximate probability that between 35 and 70 tickets are given out on a particular day.
(b) Calculate the approximate probability that the total number of tickets given out during a 5-day week is between 225 and 275.
(c) Use software to obtain the exact probabilities in (a) and (b) and compare to their approximations.
Answer:
Explanation:
(a) Calculate the approximate probability that between 35 and 70 tickets are given out on a particular day.
[tex]P(35\leq X\leq 70) =P(34.5\leq X \leq 70.5)[/tex] (using continuity correction)
[tex]=P(\frac{34.5- \mu}{\sqrt{\mu} } \leq \frac{X - \mu}{\sqrt{\mu} } \leq \frac{70.5-\mu}{\sqrt{\mu} } )\\\\=P(\frac{34.5-50}{\sqrt{50} } \leq Z \leq\frac{70.5-50}{\sqrt{50} } \\\\=P(-2.19\leq Z \leq 2.90)\\\\=P(Z\leq 2.90)-P(Z\leq -2.19)[/tex]
= 0.9981 - 0.0143 (using standard normal tables)
= 0.9839
b) Consider [tex]X_t[/tex] is the random variable that represents the number of parking tickets issued in certain city in a 5-day week
The mean number of parking ticket issued in a particular city on 5-day week is
[tex]\mu_t = \mu *t\\\\=5 \times 50 = 250[/tex]
Therefore, the required probability is
[tex]P(225\leq X_t \leq 275)=(224.5\leq X_t\leq 275.5)\\\\=P(\frac{224.5-\mu_t}{\sqrt{\mu_t} } \leq \frac{X_t-\mu_t}{\sqrt{\mu_t} } \leq \frac{275.5-\mu_t}{\sqrt{\mu_t} } )\\\\=P(\frac{224.5-250}{\sqrt{250} } \leq Z \leq \frac{275.5-250}{\sqrt{250} } \\\\=P(-1.61\leq Z\leq 1.61)\\\\=P(Z\leq 1.61)-P(Z\leq -1.61)[/tex]
= 0.9463 - 0.0537 (using standard normal tables)
= 0.8926
c) see the attached file
image 1 (the approximate probability of part a )
image 2 (the approximate probability of part b )
From the two graph observed that the probability obtained using software is approximately same as calculated by manually
Crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets can be considered complex because 34) A) factors that affect industry competitiveness are the same from country to country. B) different government policies and economic conditions make the business climate more favorable in some countries than in others. C) the potential for location-based advantages to conducting value chain activities in certain countries. D) buyer tastes and preferences differ among countries and present a challenge for companies concerning. customizing versus standardizing their products and services. E) currency exchange rates among countries are generally fixed and rarely change.
Answer:
Options A, B, C, and E.
(Please check the explanation section before you judge or pick your answer)
Explanation:
The options A, B, C, and E are the options that are considered complex if we want to Craft a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets.
Please take note that if the question asked us to pick which of the options is NOT a inherently complex reason when crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets then we would have picked Option D.
As given in the question, that is option D which says; '' buyer tastes and preferences creates challenges in standardizing products and services." Will not be a reason for crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets is inherently complex.
Countries due to globalization tends to participate in international trades. Competition in the international trade has its advantages as well as its disadvantages or risks.
To trade in the international market, countries must have their individual strategies and Option D above is NOT a inherently complex reason when crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: buyer tastes and preferences differ among countries and present a challenge for companies concerning customizing versus standardizing their products and services.
Explanation:
To begin with, the fact that a company is looking forward to expand its business to other countries needs to be very carefully planned because every business would be manage in different ways in differents areas and that is due to the differences in those countries, in their cultures and social believes as well. That is why, that to craft a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets can be considered complex because of the different preferences and tastes that buyers in those places will have and due to that the company will need to adjust to that type of customer and therefore to customize their product in order to achieve sale's goals.
Kayak Company uses a job order costing system and allocates its overhead on the basis of direct labor costs. Kayak Company's production costs for the year were: direct labor, $26,000; direct materials, $46,000; and factory overhead applied $5,600. The overhead application rate was:_______.
a. 17.69%.
b. 21.54%.
c. 464.29%.
d. 4.64%.
e. 12.17%.
Answer:
b. 21.54%.
Explanation:
The formula and the computation of the overhead application rate is shown below:
As we know that
Overhead application rate is
= (Applied factory overhead ÷ Direct labor cost)
where,
Applied factory overhead is $5,600
And, the direct labor cost is $26,000
Now putting these values to the above formula
So, the overhead application rate is
= ($5600 ÷ $26000)
= 21.54%
We simply divided the applied factory overhead which is indirect cost by the direct labor cost i.e direct cost so that the overhead application rate could come

The Lopez-Portillo Company has $11.3 million in assets, 90 percent financed by debt, and 10 percent financed by common stock. The interest rate on the debt is 10 percent and the par value of the stock is $10 per share. President Lopez-Portillo is considering two financing plans for an expansion to $21.5 million in assets. Under Plan A, the debt-to-total-assets ratio will be maintained, but new debt will cost a whopping 10 percent! Under Plan B, only new common stock at $10 per share will be issued. The tax rate is 30 percent.
a. If EBIT is 11 percent on total assets, compute earnings per share (EPS) before the expansion and under the two alternatives
Earnings Per Share
Current $
Plan A $
Plan B $
b. What is the degree of financial leverage under each of the three plans? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

c. If stock could be sold at $20 per share due to increased expectations for the firm’s sales and earnings, what impact would this have on earnings per share for the two expansion alternatives? Compute earnings per share for each. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Earnings Per Share
Plan A $
Plan B $
Answer:
Explanation:
Current Plan A Plan B
EBIT 1.243 2.365 2.365
Interest 1.017 1.935 1.017
EBT 0.226 0.43 1.348
Tax (30%) 0.0678 0.129 0.4044
Net Income 0.1582 0.301 0.9436
EPS $ 1.40 $ 1.40 $ 0.83
No. of shares 0.113 0.215 1.133
DFL 5.50 5.50 1.75
In the current plan, Debt = 90% x 11.3 = 10.17m
Interest expense = 10% x 10.17 = 1.017m
No. of shares = Equity / Par value = 11.3 x 10% / 10 = 0.113m
EBIT = 11% x 11.3 = 1.243m
EPS = Net Income / No. of shares = 0.1582m / 0.113m = $1.40
In Plan A, Debt = 90% x 21.5 = 19.35m
Interest expense = 10% x 19.35 = 1.935m
No. of shares = Equity / Par value = 21.5 x 10% / 10 = 0.215m
EBIT = 11% x 21.5 = 2.365m
EPS = Net Income / No. of shares = 0.301m / 0.215m = $1.40
In Plan B, Debt = 90% x 11.3 = 10.17m
Interest expense = 10% x 10.17 = 1.017m
No. of shares = Equity / Par value = (21.5 - 10.17) / 10 = 1.133m
EBIT = 11% x 21.5 = 2.365m
EPS = Net Income / No. of shares = 0.9436m / 1.133m = $0.83
DFL = EBIT / EBT
The Gamer Company is a video game production company that specializes in educational video games for kids. The company’s R&D department is always looking for great ideas for new games. On average, the R&D department generates about 25 new ideas a week. To go from idea to approved product, the idea must pass through the following stages: paper screening (a 1-page document describing the idea and giving a rough sketch of the design), prototype development, testing, and a focus group. At the end of each stage, successful ideas enter the next stage. All other ideas are dropped. The following chart depicts this process, and the probability of succeeding at each stage.
The paper screening for each idea takes 2 hours of a staff member’s time. After that, there is a stage of designing and producing a prototype. A designer spends 4 hours designing the game in a computer-aided-design (CAD) package. The actual creation of the mock-up is outsourced to one of many suppliers with essentially limitless capacity. It takes 4 days to get the prototype programmed, and multiple prototypes can be created simultaneously. A staff member of the testing team needs 2 days to test an idea. Running the focus group takes 2 hours of a staff member’s time per idea, and only one game is tested in each focus group. Finally, the management team meets for 3 hours per idea to decide if the game should go into production.Available working hours for each staff member are 8 hours per day, 5 days a week. The current staffing plan is as follows:A. Paper screening: 3 staff members.B. Design and Production: 4 staff members.C. Testing: 6 staff members.D. Focus Group: 1 staff member.E. Final Decision: 1 management teama. How many new ideas would Gamer Co. approve for production per week if it had unlimited capacity (staff) in its R&D process?b.Which stage is the bottleneck according to the current staffing plan?A. Design and productionB. Focus groupC. TestingD. Paper screeningE. Final decisionc. With the current staffing plan, how many new ideas will be put into production per week?
Answer:
Therefore 13.3 ideas per week
Explanation:
We can use the following method to do the calculations
And we are given
The average number of ideas per week =25
Ideas approved per week = 25×0.6×0.5×0.35×0.75
= 1.968 ideas
b)
The maximum time that will be taking stage is Testing therefore it is the bottleneck base on current staffing plan.
c)
Capacity per hour = number of staff ÷ number of hour
We have capacity per week = Capacity per hour ×5× 8
Demand is lowest of all capacity
= 13.3
Paper screening
Capacity= 3/2=1.5 idea/ hour
= 60 idea per week
Demand =13.3
Utilization=0.22
Design & production
Capacity= 4/4=1 idea/ hour
= 40 idea per week
Demand =13.3
Utilization=0.33
Testing
Capacity= 6/16=0.38 idea/ hour
= 15 idea per week
Demand =13.3
Utilization=0.88
Focus group
Capacity= 1/2=0.5 idea/ hour
= 20 idea per week
Demand =20
Utilization=0.66
Final decision
Capacity= 1/3=0.33 idea/ hour
= 13.3 idea per week
Demand =13.3
Utilization=1
Thus 13.3 ideas per week as our answer

Today is time t. Two zero coupon bonds both have a face value of 100 dollars, which means both bonds are expected to pay $100 at Maturity (time T). Bond A is liquid and is often traded by average institutional investors at zero transaction costs. Bond B is illiquid. Its total direct and indirect trading cost is $5 per trade (either buy or sell). Suppose an average-sized institutional trader who wants to own the two bonds will trade three times in either bond (i.e., first buy it at t, then sell it and buy it back again at some time between t and T). Interest rate for discounting future bond price is zero for both bonds. In other words, everyone in this market is not risk averse. What should be the average trader’s evaluation of the bond A and B price today?
A. 100,90
B. 100,100
C. 100,95
D. 100,85
Answer:
The correct answer is (D) 100,85
Explanation:
Solution:
Two zero coupon bonds both have a face value of = $100
Bond A is liquid and traded by average institutional investors at = 0 transaction costs
Bond B is liquid, with a trading cost of =$5
Now,
As the interest rate for discounting future price is zero, then the Bind price is represented as follows:
Bond price = face value - trading cost
Bond A price = 100 - 3*0 = 100
Bond B price = 100 - 3*5 = 85
Therefore, the average trader's evaluation of the bond A and bond B price today is = 100,85
cost allocationClipper Company sells two types of nail clippers. One focuses on the economy oriented customer and the other aims to satisfy the high-end clientele. The economy clipper costs $5 and has a sales price of $9. The high-end model costs $9 and sales for $15. Fixed costs associated with this product line amount to $35,880. Economy clippers constitute 70 percent of the market with the remaining 30 percent being high-end clippers. Based on this information what is the total number of clippers that must be sold to earn a $12,420 profit
Answer:
Break-even point (units)= 10,500 clippers
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The economy clipper costs $5 and has a sales price of $9.
The high-end model costs $9 and sales for $15.
Fixed costs associated with this product line amount to $35,880.
Sales participation:
Economy clippers= 0.70
High-end= 0.30
Desired profit= $12,420
To calculate the number of clippers to be sold for the company, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (units)= (Total fixed costs + desired profit) / Weighted average contribution margin ratio
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (0.7*9 + 0.3*15) - (0.7*5 + 0.3*9)
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= $4.6
Break-even point (units)= (35,880 + 12,420) / 4.6
Break-even point (units)= 10,500 clippers
Answer:
Units to be sold to achieve target profit = 10,500 units
Explanation:
The units to be sold to achieve target profit is determined as follows:
Units to be sold to achieve target profit
= (Fixed cost + Target Profit)/Average contribution per unit
Economy High-end
Contribution per unit = 9-5=$4 15-9 = $6
Average contribution per unit= ($4× 70%) + (30%×$6) = $4.6
Units to be sold to earn a profit of $12,420
= Fixed cost + Target Profit/Average contribution per unit
= (35,880 + 12,420)/4.6
= 10,500 units
Units to be sold to achieve target profit = 10,500 units

has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project (Ignore income taxes.): Investment required in equipment $ 36,500 Annual cash inflows $ 8,600 Salvage value of equipment $ 0 Life of the investment 15 years Required rate of return 10 % The company uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment. The simple rate of return for the investment (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent) is:
Answer:
16.89%
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of simple rate of return for the investment is provided below:-
we need to first find out the accounting profit and depreciation
where
Accounting Profit = Annual Cash Inflow - Depreciation
and
Depreciation = Investment required in equipment ÷ Life of investment
= $36,500 ÷ 15
= $2,433.33
now we will put the value by using the accounting profit formula.
= $8,600 - $2,433.33
= $6,166.67
So,
Simple Rate of Return = Accounting Profit ÷ Initial Investment
= $6,166.67 ÷ $36,500
= 16.89%
Cream and Crimson Foods has a target capital structure of calling for 45.00 percent debt, 4.00 percent preferred stock, and 51.00 percent common equity (retained earnings plus common stock). Its before-tax cost of debt is 12.00 percent. The tax rate is 40.00%. Its cost of preferred stock is 10.41%. Its cost of common equity is 12.38%. Find the WACC for Cream and Crimson Foods
Answer:
9.9702%
Explanation:
After-tax cost of debt=12*(1-tax rate)
= 12* (1-0.4) =7.2%
WACC=Respective cost*Respective weight
=(7.2×0.45)+(10.41×0.04)+(12.38×0.51)
=9.9702%
Answer:
9.9578%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Cream and Crimson foods target a structure capital of calling =5.00%
Stock preferred = 4%
Common equity = 51.00%
Before tax-cost = 12.00%
Rate of tax= 40.00%
preferred stock cost = 10.41%
Now,
After-tax cost of debt=12*(1-tax rate)
=12*(1-0.4)=7.2%
Thus,
The WACC=Respective costs*Respective weight
=(0.45*7.2)+(0.04*10.1)+(0.51*12.38)
=9.9578%
Therefore, the WACC for Cream and Crimson Food is 9.9578%
Mobility Partners makes wheelchairs and other assistive devices. For years it has made the rear wheel assembly for its wheelchairs. A local bicycle manufacturing firm, Trailblazers, Inc., offered to sell these rear wheel assemblies to Mobility. If Mobility makes the assembly, its cost per rear wheel assembly is as follows (based on annual production of 2,000 units):
Direct materials $ 25
Direct labor 53
Variable overhead 16
Fixed overhead 47
Total $ 141
Trailblazers offered to sell the assembly to Mobility for $110 each. The total order would amount to 2,000 rear wheel assemblies per year, which Mobility's management will buy instead of make if Mobility can save at least $10,000 per year. Accepting Trailblazers's offer would eliminate annual fixed overhead of $40,000.
Required:
(a) Prepare a schedule that shows the differential costs on the 2,000 rear wheel assemblies order. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Input all amounts as positive values. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
(b) Should Mobility make rear wheel assemblies or buy them from Trailblazers?
Answer:
Net savings from buying $ 8,000
Decision : The company should assemble
Explanation:
Unit variable cost of making = 25+ 53+ 16+ 47 = $94
$
Total variable cost ( $94 × 2,000) = 188,000
Total cost of external purchase ($110× 2000) 220,000
Extra variable cost from external purchase (32,000 )
add Savings in fixed overheads 40,000
Net savings from buying 8,000
Note that the fixed cost were not included because they not relevant for the decision. They would be incurred either way.
Decision.
Since the management wishes tom save at least $10,000 per year but the analysis above shows that the company can only save $8,000, then Mobility should not buy the product but rather assemble them

At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 14,000 units in inventory, 40% complete as to materials, and 20% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 64,000 units and transferred 68,000 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 10,000 units in inventory, 85% complete as to materials, and 60% complete as to conversion. If Martin Manufacturing uses the weighted-average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for materials and conversion respectively for the Forming Department.
Answer:
total equivalent units using weighted average method:
materials = 76,500 unitsconversion = 74,000 unitsExplanation:
beginning inventory 14,000 units
40% complete to materials = 5,600 equivalent units20% complete to conversion = 2,800 equivalent unitsduring the month 64,000 were started
68,000 units were transferred out
ending inventory 10,000 units
85% complete to materials = 8,500 equivalent units60% complete to conversion = 6,000 equivalent unitstotal equivalent units using weighted average method:
materials = units completed and transferred out + ending inventory = 68,000 + 8,500 = 76,500 unitsconversion = units completed and transferred out + ending inventory = 68,000 + 6,000 = 74,000 unitsQ2: In the expenditure cycle, the majority of payments made are by check. What are some

You want to invest in a riskless project in Sweden. The project has an initial cost of SKr3.86 million and is expected to produce cash inflows of SKr1.76 million a year for three years. The project will be worthless after three years. The expected inflation rate in Sweden is 3.2 percent while it is 2.8 percent in the U.S. A risk-free security is paying 4.1 percent in the U.S. The current spot rate is $1 = SKr7.7274.
Required:
1. What is the net present value of this project in Swedish krona if the International Fisher effect applies?
O SKr1,087,561
O SKr958,029
O SKr701,458
O SKr823,333
O SKr978,177
Answer:
SKr978,177
Explanation:
Note: Find attached the attached excel file for the full calculation of the net present value of this project in Swedish krona.
Applying International Fisher effect, the risk-free rate of return in Sweden is calculated as follows:
USRF = Risk-free rate of return in the US = 4.1%, or 0.041
USEI = Expected inflation in the US = 2.8%, or 0.028
SWRF = Risk-free rate of return in Sweden = ?
SWEI = Expected inflation in Sweden = 3.2%, or 0.032
Applying International Fisher effect, we have:
USRF - USEI = SWRF - SWEI
Substituting for the values, we have:
0.041 - 0.028 = SWRF - 0.032
0.013 = SWRF - 0.032
SWRF = 0.045
The SWRF of 0.045 as the discount rate to calculate the discounting factor in the attached excel file.

he following financial statement data for years ending December 31 for Holland Company are shown below. 20Y4 20Y3 Cost of merchandise sold $1,489,200 $945,934 Inventories: Beginning of year 359,160 251,120 End of year 516,840 359,160 a. Determine the inventory turnover for 20Y4 and 20Y3. Round to one decimal place. Inventory Turnover 20Y4 20Y3 b. Determine the days' sales in inventory for 20Y4 and 20Y3. Assume 365 days a year. Round interim calculations and final answers to one decimal place. Days' Sales in Inventory 20Y4 days 20Y3 days
Answer:
Year 2014 Year 2013
a) Inventory Turnover ratio 3.4 times and 3.1 times
b) Number of days' sales in inventory 107.3 days and 117.7 days
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
For Year 2014 :
Average inventory = ($359,160 + $516,840)÷2
= $438,000
Inventory Turnover ratio = $1,489,200÷$438,000
= 3.4 times
For Year 2013 :
Average inventory = ($251,120 + $359,160)÷2
= $305,140
Inventory Turnover ratio = $945,934÷$305,140
= 3.1 times
Number of days' sales in inventory = Number of days in a year ÷ Inventory Turnover ratio
For 2014 = 365÷3.4 = 107.3 days
For 2013 = 365÷3.1 = 117.7 days
