The Mighty Music Company produces and sells a desktop speaker for $100. The company has the capacity to produce 50,000 speakers each period. At capacity, the costs assigned to each unit are as follows: Unit level costs $ 45 Product level costs $ 15 Facility level costs $ 5 The company has received a special order for 500 speakers. If this order is accepted, the company will have to spend $15,000 on additional costs. Assuming that no sales to regular customers will be lost if the order is accepted, at what selling price will the company be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order
Answer:
$75
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what selling price will the company be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order
Using this formula
Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= ( Additional cost ÷ Units sold number) + Unit level Cost
Let plug in the formula
Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= ( $15,000 ÷ 500 ) + $45
Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= $30 + $45
Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= $75
Therefore The selling price that the company will be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order is $75
We are evaluating a project that costs $660,000, has a five-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 69,000 units per year. Price per unit is $58, variable cost per unit is $38, and fixed costs are $660,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a return of 12 percent on this project. a. Calculate the accounting break-even poin
Answer:
39600
Explanation:
Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit
Fixed cost = cost of machine + depreciation expense
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
$660,000 / 5 = $132,000
total fixed cost $660,000 + $132,000 = $792,000
$792,000 / ($58 - $38) = 39,600
Chen Company's Small Motor Division manufactures a number of small motors used in household and office appliances. The Household Division of Chen then assembles and packages such items as blenders and juicers. Both divisions are free to buy and sell any of their components internally or externally. The following costs relate to small motor LN233 on a per unit basis.
Fixed cost per unit $5.20
Variable cost per unit $10.81
Selling price per unit $34.55
Assuming that the Small Motor Division has excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of small motor LN233 to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Minimum transfer price $ per unit
Assuming that the Small Motor Division does not have excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of the small motor to the Household Division. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. If the small motor division has excess capacity,
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
Variable cost per unit = $10.81
Add:
Opportunity cost per unit = $0.00 (Because the company has sufficient excess capacity)
Minimum transfer price = $10.81
2. If the small motor division has excess capacity,
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Opportunity cost
Variable cost per unit = $10.81
Add:
Opportunity cost per unit = $23.74 (As the company has no excess capacity, contribution lost is the opportunity cost)
Minimum transfer price = $34.55
N.B
Contribution lost = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $34,55 - $10.8 = $23.74
Capalbo Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the company estimated the laborhours for the upcoming year at 52,000 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $2.78 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,192,360. The actual labor-hours for the year turned out to be 52,600 labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to: A. $2.78. B. $25.45. C. $25.71. D. $22.93.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $25.71 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (1,192,360 / 52,000) + 2.78
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 22.93 + 2.78
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $25.71 per direct labor hour
Swifty Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,453,700 and retained earnings of $5,392,600 at December 31, 2020. Swifty later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $102,820 and $37,880, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings.
Answer:
Corrected cost of goods sold $1,388,760
Corrected retained earnings $5,354,720
Explanation:
First, we need to determine corrected cost of goods sold
Corrected cost of goods sold at December 31, 2020
= Beginning inventory - Purchases - Ending inventory
= $1,453,700 - [$102,820 - $37,880]
= $1,453,700 - $64,930
= $1,388,760
The December 31,2020 corrected retained earnings would be computed as;
= Ending retained earnings - Overstated ending inventories at December 31, 2020
= $5,392,600 - $37,880
= $5,354,720
Kayak Co. budgeted the following cash receipts (excluding cash receipts from loans received) and cash payments (excluding cash payments for loan principal and interest payments) for the first three months of next year.
Cash Receipts Cash payments
January $528,000 $473,700
February 405,000 350,700
March 470,000 536,000
According to a credit agreement with its bank, Kayak requires a minimum cash balance of $40,000 at each month-end. In return, the bank has agreed that the company can borrow up to $160,000 at a monthly interest rate of 1%, paid on the last day of each month. The interest is computed based on the beginning balance of the loan for the month. The company repays loan principal with any cash in excess of $40,000 on the last day of each month. The company has a cash balance of $40,000 and a loan balance of $80,000 at January 1.
Required:
Prepare monthly cash budgets for January, February, and March.
Answer:
Ending Cash Balance as are follows:
January = $40,000
February = $67,535
March = $40,000
Also, Loan Balance End of Month as follows:
January = $26,500
February = $0
March = $38,465
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the cash budget.
In the attached excel file, the following calculations are made:
January loan repayment = January Preliminary cash - January Interest expense - Minimum required cash balance = $94,300 - $800 - $40,000 = $53,500
February Loan repayment = January Loan Balance End of the Month = $26,500
March Additional Loan = Minimum required cash balance - March Preliminary cash balance = $40,000 - $1,535 = $38,465
From the attached excel file, we have Ending Cash Balance as follows:
January = $40,000
February = $67,535
March = $40,000
And also, Loan Balance End of Month as follows:
January = $26,500
February = $0
March = $38,465
Ronnie operates a lawn-care service. On each day, the cost of mowing the first lawn is $15, the cost of mowing the second lawn is $25, and the cost of mowing the third lawn is $40. His producer surplus on the first three lawns of the day is $100. If Ronnie charges all customers the same price for lawn mowing, that price is a. $20. b. $60. c. $80. d. $180.
Answer:
b. $60
Explanation:
Produced surplus = Price producer is able to sell - Price producer would be willing to sell
Price the producer is able to sell = Producer surplus + Price producer would be willing to sell
= $100 + ($15 + $25 + $40)
= $180 for 3 lawn
Therefore, if Ronnie charges are customers the same price for lawn mowing, that price is
= $180 / 3
= $60

Answer:
a. Michelle moves her food truck between various locations on a daily rotation. Last week, Michelle was stopped for speeding. She paid a fine of $215 for speeding plus $170 for legal advice in connection with the ticket.
Speeding tickets and fines cannot be deducted as business expenses. But Michelle can deduct all legal expenses.
b. Michelle paid $865 to reserve a parking place for her food truck for the fall football season outside the local football arena. Michelle also paid $210 for tickets to a game for her children.
Michelle can deduct the $865 paid for the space outside the football field, but she cannot deduct the tickets (personal expenses).
c. Michelle provided a candidate with free advertising painted on her truck during the candidate's campaign for city council. Michelle paid $960 to have the ad prepared and an additional $660 to have the ad removed from the truck after the candidate lost the election.
Political donations are not deductible as business expenses.If the price elasticity of demand for a good is 1.2, then a 3 percent decrease in price results in a
Answer:
3.6%
Explanation:
The price elasticity is 1.2%
The price decreases by 3%
Therefore the quantity supplied can be calculated as follows

Hence this results in 3.6% increase in the quantity demanded
Tulane Tires wrote a contract for a $104,000 sale of tires to the new Garden District Tour Company. Tulane only anticipates a slightly greater than 50 percent chance that Garden will be able to pay the amounts that Tulane is entitled to receive under the contract. Upon delivery of the tires, assuming no payment has yet been made by Garden, how much revenue should Tulane recognize under U.S. IFRS
Answer: $0
Explanation:
Under the United States IFRS, we should note that in this case, the contract according to the question will not be able to qualify for revenue recognition since the percentage of it occuring is more than 50% which mean that it is very likely it'll exist.
Therefore, in this case, revenue recognized will be $0.
According to the theory of liquidity preferences, expanding the money supply will _____ nominal interest rates in the short run, and, according to the Fischer effect, expanding the money supply will _____ nominal interest rates in the long run. Group of answer choices increase; increase; increase; decrease decrease; increase decrease; decrease
Answer: decrease; increase
Explanation:
According to the Liquidity Preference theory, in the short run, increasing money supply will mean that there is more money in the economy which translates to more money for investment. This will lead to a decrease in interest rates as there are more sources of investment.
In the long run however, the Fischer effect shows interest will move with inflation. If money supply is expanded, it will lead to inflation in the long run because there will be more demand. This rise in inflation will cause interest rates to rise as well.

Dream, Inc., has debt outstanding with a face value of $6 million. The value of the firm if it were entirely financed by equity would be $18.25 million. The company also has 440,000 shares of stock outstanding that sell at a price of $32 per share. The corporate tax rate is 35 percent. What is the decrease in the value of the company due to expected bankruptcy costs? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer:
$955,000
Explanation:
According to the Modigliani and Miller theory, we can calculate the value of the levered firm which is denoted by;
VI = Vu + tB
VI = 18.25million + 0.35(6million)
VI = 20.35 million
We can also calculate the total market value of the firm Vt by adding the debt (B) with the total equity (SV)
Vt = B + SV
Vt = 5 million + 440,000(32)
Vt = 5 million + 14.80 million
Vt = 19.80 million
Then the decrease in the value of the company due to bankruptcy is
Vb = VI - Vt
Vb = 20.35 million - 19.80 million
VB = $955,000
Swifty Company's financial information is presented below. Sales Revenue $ p?Cost of Goods Sold 536000 Sales Returns and Allowances 37000 Gross Profit p?Net Sales 868000 The missing amounts above are: Sales Revenue Gross Profit a. $905000 $332,000 b. $832,000 $332,000 c. $ 905,000 $416,000 d. $832,000 $416,000
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
The gross profit is calculated by deducting from net sales the cost of goods sold:
Gross profit= net sales - COGS
Gross profit= 868,000 - 536,000
Gross profit= $332,000
Now, the sales revenues are the sales before returns and allowances. Therefore, we need to add them to the net sales:
Sales revenue= 868,000 + 37,000
Sales revenues= $905,000

Revi Corp. provides the following information for the upcoming year: It expects to sell 29,000 pool cues for $13 each. Direct materials costs are $3, direct manufacturing labor is $5, and manufacturing overhead is $0.83 per pool cue. The following inventory levels apply to the upcoming year: Beginning inventory Ending inventory Direct materials 24,000 units 24,000 units Work-in-process inventory 0 units 0 units Finished goods inventory 1,200 units 2,800 units What are the budgeted costs for direct materials, direct manufacturing labor, and manufacturing overhead, respectively
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the production budget and this will be:
Sales = $29000
Add: Closing inventory of finished goods = $2800
Less: Opening inventory of finished goods = $1200
Production budget = $30600
Direct material purchased:
Production = 30600
Add: Closing inventory of direct material = 24000
Less: Opening inventory of direct material = 24000
Direct material purchased = 36000
a. Budgeted costs for direct materials
= Direct material purchased × price per unit
= 30600 × $3
= $91800
b. Direct manufacturing labor
= Production unit × Cost per unit
= 30600 × $5
= $153000
c. Manufacturing overhead
= Production units × Cost per unit
= 30600 × $0.83
= $25398

8. Zelda owns a 50% general interest in YZ Partnership. At the beginning of the current year, the adjusted basis in her partnership interest was $95,000. In the current year, YZ generated a $110,000 business loss, earned $15,000 dividend and interest income on its investments and recognized a $7,000 capital gain. YZ also made a $5,000 distribution to Zelda. Compute Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year.
Answer:
$52,500
Explanation:
Computation for Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year.
Zelda’s adjusted basis=$95,000-(50%*$110,000)+(50%*$15,000)+$5,000
Zelda’s adjusted basis=$95,000-$55,000+$7,500+$5,000
Zelda’s adjusted basis= $52,500
Based on the information given we assumed 50% because Zelda is a 50% partner.
Therefore Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year will be $52,500

The unemployment rate=natural unemployment rate+cyclical unemployment rate
if The unemployment rate<natural unemployment rate then the cycalical rate of unemployment is negative.
A local Chevrolet dealership carries the following types of vehicles:
Inventory Items Quantity Cost per Unit Market (replacement cost) per Unit
Vans 3 $22,000 $20,000
Trucks 6 17,000 16,000
2-door sedans 2 12,000 14,000
4-door sedans 7 16,000 19,000
Sports cars 3 32,000 35,000
SUVs 5 28,000 23,000
Because of recent increases in gasoline prices, the car dealership has noticed a reduced demand for its SUVs, vans, and trucks.
Required:
a. Compute the total cost of the entire inventory.
b. Determine whether each inventory item would be reported at cost or market. Multiply the quantity of each inventory item by the appropriate cost or market amount and place the total in the "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" column. Then determine the total for that column.
c. Compare your answers in Requirement 1 and Requirement 2 and then record any necessary adjustment to write down inventory from cost to market value.
d. Discuss the financial statement effects of using lower-of-cost-or-market to report inventory.
Answer:
Explanation:
Since the table doesn't show up correctly, the first dollar value is the Cost per Unit of the vehicle, while the second dollar value is the Market Cost per Vehicle.
a. If we compute the cost using the Cost per Unit then they would be the following.
Vans: 3 * $22,000 = $66,000Trucks: 6 * $17,000 = $102,0002-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,0004-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000Sports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000SUV's: 5 * $28,000 = $140,000Total Inventory: $504,000b. The "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" basically states that whatever of the two prices is lower is ultimately the one that is recorded as the cost. Therefore, under this method the costs would be the following...(Purchase Cost or Market Cost)

There were only 3 changes made from from requirement 1 and 2 these were the changes in total cost...
Vans: $60,000 - $66,000 = - $6000Trucks: $96,000 - $102,000 = - $6000SUV's: $115,000 - $140,000 = - $25,000d. This allows companies to report losses at a much more reasonable and consistent way. Thus allowing profits to be more predictable.
a. Total inventory cost: $504,000
b. Total inventory at lower-of-cost-or-market: $503,000
c. Adjustment to write down inventory: -$37,000
d. Using lower-of-cost-or-market to report inventory allows for more realistic and conservative reporting, reflecting the decrease in market value.
a. If we compute the cost using the Cost per Unit then they would be the following.
Vans: 3 * $22,000 = $66,000
Trucks: 6 * $17,000 = $102,000

SUV's: 5 * $28,000 = $140,000
Total Inventory: $504,000
b. The "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" basically states that whatever of the two prices is lower is ultimately the one that is recorded as the cost. Therefore, under this method the costs would be the following...(Purchase Cost or Market Cost)
Vans: 3 * $20,000 = $60,000 (reported at market)
Trucks: 6 * $16,000 = $96,000 (reported at market)
2-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,000 (reported at cost)
4-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000 (reported at cost)
Sports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000 (reported at cost)
SUVs: 5 * $23,000 = $115,000 (reported at market)
Total for "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" column: $60,000 + $96,000 + $24,000 + $112,000 + $96,000 + $115,000 = $503,000
c. The necessary adjustment to write down inventory from cost to market value is as follows:
Vans: -$6,000
Trucks: -$6,000
SUVs: -$25,000
d. Using the lower-of-cost-or-market method to report inventory allows companies to recognize and account for potential declines in the market value of their inventory.
By valuing inventory at the lower cost or market value, it ensures a conservative approach and provides a more accurate representation of the company's financial position.
This approach helps in reflecting the true economic value of inventory and potential losses associated with declines in market value.

Haylock Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,500 direct labor-hours will be required in August. The variable overhead rate is $1.50 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,410 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,940. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The August cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
Overhead cash disbursement= $102,720
Explanation:
First, we need to allocate variable overhead using the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.5*7,500
Allocated MOH= $11,250
Now, we can calculate the cash disbursement for August. Depreciation is not a cash expense. We should deduct it from fixed costs.
Overhead cash disbursement= 11,250 + 100,410 - 8,940
Overhead cash disbursement= $102,720
Assume that a state government currently provides no child-care subsidies to working single parents, but it now wants to adopt a plan that will encourage labor force participation among single parents. Suppose that child-care costs are hourly, and suppose the government adopts a child-care subsidy that pays $3 per hour for each hour the parent works, up to 8 hours per day. Draw a current budget constraint (net of child-care costs) for an assumed single mother and then draw in the new constraint. Discuss the likely effects on labor force participation and hours of work.
Answer:
The line on the graph will be parallel to the pre-subsidy line and the new constraint will then be equal to the points connecting the two lines.
Explanation:
The subsidy by government to single parents is $3 per hour for up to 8 hours. The total of subsidy will be $16 for each day. The labor force who were not receiving the subsidy before had steep indifference curve but now few workers will find utility maximization with flatter indifference curve so the workers will join the subsidy program.
