Botosan Factory has budgeted factory overhead for the year at $717,474, and budgeted direct labor hours for the year are 364,200. If the actual direct labor hours for the month of May are 331,400, the overhead allocated for May is

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$652,858

Explanation:

Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity

                                                    = $717,474 ÷  364,200

                                                    = $1.97 per direct labor hour

Allocated overheads = Predetermined overhead rate x Actual Activity

                                    = $1.97 x  331,400 direct labor hours

                                     = $652,858

therefore,

The overhead allocated for May is $652,858.

Assume that Nortel manufactures specialty electronic circuitry through a unique photoelectronic process. One of the primary products, Model ZX40, has a standard labor time of 0.5 hour and a standard labor rate of $12.50 per hour. During February, the following activities pertaining to direct labor for ZX40 were recorded:

Direct labor hours used 2,230
Direct labor cost $34,000
Units of ZX40 manufactured 4,800

Required:
a. Determine the labor rate variance.
b. Determine the labor efficiency variance.
c. Determine the total flexible budget labor cost variance.

Answers

Answer:

A = $6,125

B = $2,125

C = $6,125

Explanation:

Standard Labor Time = 0.5 hours, Standard Labor rate = $12.50 per hour, Standard Time = 4800 * 0.5hour P U = 2400 hours

Actual labor time used = 2,230, Direct labor Cost = $34,000 per hour =$15.25 , Units manufactured = 4,800

(a) Labor Rate Variance = Actual Cost - standard cost of Actual Hours = $34,000 - ($12.50 * 2230) = $34,000 - $27,875 = $6,125 Favorable

(b) Labor Efficiency Variance = Standard Cost of Actual Hours - Standard Cost = (2,230 * 12.50) - (12.50 * 2400) = $27,875 - $30,000 = $2,125 Unfavorable

(c) Flexible budget labor cost variance = Flexible Budget cost - Actual Cost = (Actual qty * Std Rate) - (Actual qty - Actual Rate) = (2,230 * $12.50) - $34,000 = $27,875 - $34,000 = $6,125 Unfavorable

The total cost of ownership (TCO) is categorized into three broad areas of costs: acquisition costs, ownership costs, and post-ownership costs. Which one of the costs is often overemphasized that frequently results in a failure to address other two costs

Answers

Answer:

Acquisition cost

Explanation:

The total cost of ownership can be defined as an estimate that helps people trying to get a product or service to know the direct and indirect costs of such. The acquisition cost is often times overemphasized, it is the total incurred for getting the product or the service. This cost is what causes a failure to address both the ownership cost and the post ownership cost.

Answers

Answer: Operating lease

Explanation:

An operating lease operates much like a rental type instrument. The asset being leased will not have its ownership rights transferred to the person leasing it and the person leasing it will be paying a certain amount every designated period that is equal to the Right of Use amount.

This is the case here as Crystal Corporation pays a certain amount every month for the leased equipment and this amount is the same as the Right-of-use asset amount. This is therefore an operating lease.

Auto Industries Company reported the following on its income statement:
Income before income taxes $420,000
Income tax expense (120,000)
Net income $300,000
If the income statement also shows interest expense equal to $80,000, what is the company's times interest earned ratio?
a. 5 times.
b. 6.25 times.
c. 5.25 times.
d. 8 times.

Answers

Answer:

Option c. 5.25 times is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Below is the calculation:

Income before income tax = $420000

Income tax expenses = 120000 dollars

Net income = $300000

Interest expense = $80000

Interest earned ratio = Earning Before Interest and Taxes / Interest Expenses

Interest earned ratio = 420000 / 80000

Interest earned ratio = 5.25 times

Option c. 5.25 times is the correct answer.

( 2 ) Assume the company's fixed costs increase by $ 141.000 . What amount of sales ( dollars ) is needed to break even

Answers

Answer:

Part 1

Income Statement at 15,600 units

Sales ($ 180 x 15,600)                                     $2,808,000

Less Variable Costs ($126 x 15,600)             ($1,965,600)

Contribution                                                        $842,400

Less Fixed Costs                                               ($842,400)

Net Income                                                                    $0

Part 2

$3,278,000

Explanation:

Break even (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit

                               = $ 842,400 ÷ ($ 180 - $126)

                               = 15,600 units

Assume the company's fixed costs increase by $ 141.000

Break even (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit

                               = ($ 842,400 + $ 141.000) ÷ ($ 180 - $126)

                               = 18,212 units

Break even Revenue = 18,212 x  $ 180 =  $3,278,000

Item 12 Firm X is being acquired by Firm Y for $35,000 cash which is being provided by retained earnings. The synergy of the acquisition is $5,000. Firm X has 2,000 shares of stock outstanding at a price of $16 a share. Firm Y has 10,200 shares of stock outstanding at a price of $46 a share. What is the value of Firm Y after the acquisition

Answers

Answer:

$471,200

Explanation:

Value of firm Y before acquisition = $46 * 10,200 shares

Value of firm Y before acquisition = $469,200

Book value of firm X = $16 * 2,000

Book value of firm X = $32,000

Cash provided to firm X = $35,000

Synergy of the acquisition = $5,000

Value of firm Y after acquisition = $469,200 + ($32,000 - $35,000) + $5,000

Value of firm Y after acquisition = $469,200 - $3,000 + $5,000

Value of firm Y after acquisition = $471,200

Answers

Answer:

Crystal gets a new video camera made in the United States. ⇒ CONSUMPTION.

This was a purchase to satisfy the needs and wants of a household so will fall under consumption.

Brian's employer assigns him to provide consulting services to an Australian firm that's opening a manufacturing facility in China. ⇒ EXPORTS.

Exports refer to goods and services being sent to another country. Brian is providing services to another country so this is an export.

Brian buys a sweater made in Guatemala. ⇒ CONSUMPTION AND IMPORTS

This was bought to satisfy a household need so is consumption. It was also imported from another country so falls under imports.

The state of Pennsylvania repaves highway PA 320, which goes through the center of Swarthmore. ⇒ GOVERNMENT SPENDING.  

The state government of Pennsylvania is the one that did the spending here so it falls under government spending.

Edison buys a new set of tools to use in his plumbing business. ⇒ INVESTMENT.

This falls under investments as it is a purchase of capital goods that are intended to help in production of goods and services.

The Timberlake Company has the following information for August:

Cost of direct materials used in production $25000
Direct labor 35000
Factory overhead 20000
WIP, August 1 30000
WIP, August 31 25000

Requried:
a. Cost of goods manufactured
b. Cost of goods sold

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

1. Cost of goods manufactured

= Cost of direct materials uses in production + Direct labor + Factory overhead

= $25,000 + $35,000 + $20,000

= $80,000

2. Cost of goods sold

= Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock

Or

Gross income = Gross revenue - Cost of goods sold

Hence we are not able to calculate cost of goods sold with the given information.

Bell Corporation reports that at an activity level of 8,700 units, its total variable cost is $653,109, and its total fixed cost is $658,416.

There is not a word length requirement for this question; however, you must show your work.

Answers

Answer:

Bell Corporation

The total variable cost is = $660,616

The total fixed cost is = $658,416

The total cost is = $1,319,032

The average variable cost per unit is = $75.07

The average total cost per unit is = $149.89

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Current activity level = 8,700 units

Variable cost based on the current activity level = $653,109

Unit variable cost = $75.07 ($653,109/8,700)

Fixed cost = $658,416

At activity level of 8,800 units, since 8,800 units are within the relevant range:

The total variable cost = $660,616 (8,800 * $75.07)

The total fixed cost = $658,416 (same as at 8,700 units)

The total cost = $1,319,032 ($660,616 + $658,416)

The average variable cost per unit = $75.07 ($653,109/8,700)

The average total cost per unit = $149.89 ($1,319,032/8,800)

Insurance.Susan,a trained nurse,was recently elected to the U.S.Senate.Susan is very concerned about the lack of insurance for many children and also working adults who cannot afford the insurance premiums.She proposes legislation that states are taxed sufficiently to provide health insurance coverage to children and that federal funds for state highways are denied to any state that does not also provide insurance coverage for uninsured adults.She also proposed that states with citizens earning higher than average incomes be taxed at a higher rate than other states.Bill,a senator,tells Susan that Congress lacks the authority to tax in this manner because the U.S.Constitution expressly reserves that right to the states.Ellen,another senator,tells Susan that Congress has no authority to link highway funds or any other funds with social welfare objectives.Sam,an administrative assistant,tells Susan that Congress is prohibited from taxing residents of one state at a higher rate than citizens of another state.Which of the following is true regarding Ellen's statement?
A) Ellen is correct.
B) Ellen is correct only if the state is making efforts to put social programs into effect and is not acting unreasonably in refusing to provide needed services.
C) Ellen is partially correct in that Congress has no authority to link highway funds with social services,but any other funds may be linked to social services by executive order.
D) Ellen is partially correct in that Congress has no authority to link highway funds with social services,but other funds may be linked to social services by an act of Congress.
E) Ellen is incorrect.

Answers

Answer: E. Ellen is incorrect.

Explanation:

From the information provided, we can deduce that Bill is incorrect. This is because the statement made by Bill that "Congress lacks the authority to tax in this manner because the U.S.Constitution expressly reserves that right to the states" is incorrect. It should be noted that the constitution of the United States contains no such reservation.

Also, Ellen is incorrect. This is because the Congress has the authority to link highway funds or any other funds with social welfare objectives.

a. Symbolic orientation.
b. Human Resource orientation.
c. Structural orientation
d. Political orientation.

Answers

Answer:

b. Human Resource orientation.

Explanation:

It is correct to state that the orientation that most describes Alejandro's leader orientation is human resources, as the issue provides us with the information that Alejandro has an organizational vision based mainly on people and on the good direction of employees to help them succeed.

The orientation of human resources is related to the company's philosophy that will guide the behavior of employees and the organizational culture in accordance with the organizational mission and values. When a leader has this type of orientation focused on people, he encourages this behavior and so there is the dissemination of practices that value interpersonal relationships and collaboration, which can bring several benefits to an organization, such as increasing the value of work, greater innovation and productivity.

Their goal is to own the property so that if either Natasha or Link were to die, the surviving spouse would own the property outright. They also want to keep things private and avoid probate. How should they title their new home?
A. Link should own the house fee simple and name Natasha as his beneficiary.
B. Tenancy in common is the best way to title the property because it meets all their objectives.
C. They should title the home as JTWROS as a way to accomplish their goals.
D. Because they live in North Carolina, they should title the home as community property.

Answers

Answer:

Natasha and LInk

Based on the spouses goal to own the property so that if either Natasha or LInk were to die, the surviving spouse would own the property outright, keeping things private and avoid probate, they should title their new home as:

C. They should title the home as JTWROS as a way to accomplish their goals.

Explanation:

The arrangement that meets their goals is Joint tenancy with rights of survivorship (JTWROS) which affords survivorship rights to either Natasha or Link in the event of the death of either spouse.  In other words, JTWROS allows either Natasha or Link to automatically own the property without publicity or probate.  This arrangement will meet all their arrangements, unlike tenancy in common.  Moreover, there is no community property provision in North Carolina where they live.  Lastly, naming Natasha presupposes that Link would die first.  This does not meet their expectations.

Assume the risk-free rate is 4%. You are a financial advisor, and must choose one of the funds below to recommend to each of your clients. Whichever fund you recommend, your clients will then combine it with risk-free borrowing and lending depending on their desired level of risk.

Expected Return Volatility
Fund A 10% 10%
Fund B 15% 22%
Fund C 6% 2%

Required:
a. Which fund would you recommend to a client seeking the highest possible expected return with a maximum volatility of 22%?
b. Which fund would you recommend to a client seeking the highest possible expected return with a maximum volatility of 22%?
c. Which fund would your recommend without knowing your clients risk preference?

Answers

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given point.

Explanation:

Calculate each fund's Sharpe ratio. It Fund is the best danger reward with the highest Sharpe ratio.

[tex]\text{Sharpe Ratio} = \frac{\text{(Fund return - \text{risk free return)}}}{Volatility}\\\\\to Fund A= \frac{(10\%-4\%)}{10\%} = 0.6\\\\\to Fund B= \frac{(15\%-4\%)}{22\%} = 0.5\\\\\to Fund C = \frac{(6\%-4\%)}{2\%}=1.0\\\\[/tex]

Fund C consequently offers the best risk-benefit. and without understanding client risk preference, we will advise Fund C for any clients. If a client wants to have a 22 percent minimum volatility, we'll nevertheless propose that Fund C instead of Fund B is available, because an investor can take risk-free rates to the degree that the total portfolio volatility stands at 22 percent and deposit it in Fund C.
