Please see answer below
Explanation:
This is an incomplete question. However, other parts of the question have been added as extracted .
1. Determine the direct material price and quantity variances
Direct material price variance
= (Actual price - Standard price) × Purchase quantity
= ($0.85 - $1) × 103,000
= $15,450 Favorable
Direct material quantity variance
= (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) × Standard price
= (103,000 - 101,000) × $1
= $2,000 Unfavorable
2. Think of a plausible explanation for the variances found in requirement 1.
°For direct material price variance, the possible reasons for the variance are shortage of raw materials, discount application etc. However, variance was favorable because the direct material was purchased for lesser amount compared to the standard price.
°For direct material quantity variance, possible causes of variance are low quality of raw materials, incorrect specification of raw materials, damage during production processes. However, the variance was unfavorable because
the actual quantity used is more than the standard quantity that ought to have been used.
3. Determine the direct labor rate and efficiency variance
Direct labour rate variance
= (Actual rate - Standard rate) × Actual hours worked
= ($12.35 - $12.05) × 1,700
= $510 Unfavorable
Direct labor efficiency variance
= (Actual hours worked - Standard hours worked) × Standard rate
= (1,700 - 1,400) × $12.05
= $3,615 Unfavorable
4. Could the explanation for the labor variances be tied to material variances.
No. The total labor variance could be as a result of money paid to laborers which be could be lower or higher than the standard rate and using either less or more direct labor hours than expected.

Describe the formation process of cross-border mergers, acquisitions, and international joint ventures. What are the major differences?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Merger is a business term that defines the major mean of concentrating businesses. It can be in two different forms, which can either be through the arrangement of a new company or through the through the unification of one or more firms into another firm.
Acquisition however is a business term that describes the purchases of a company's most or all shares, in order gain control that company, buy another company (buyer).
On the other hand, An international joint venture often referred to as IJV is a business term that describes the formation of partnership of companies based in two or more countries, without taking over the other company outright.
Hence, the formation process of a merger, acquisition and international joint venture involves the following:
1. Planning: this stage involves the signing of the letter of intent, advisor appointment, creating and documenting the timetable, transaction method and expert report
2. Resolution: this stage is also vital which involves meetings of Board of Director, extraordinary shareholder, identification of opposition party and go ahead from the antitrust authority.
3. Implementation: this is a stage involving the enrolment of the merger deed in the Company Register.
You bought one of Great White Shark Repellant Co.'s 8 percent coupon bonds one year ago for $810. These bonds make annual payments and mature 14 years from now. Suppose you decide to sell your bonds today, when the required return on the bonds is 11 percent. If the inflation rate was 3.4 percent over the past year, what was your total real return on investment?
Answer:
real rate of return = 4.77%
Explanation:
you purchased the bond at $810 with 14 years to maturity
now, 1 year later the bond's price is:
PV of coupon payment = $1,000 / 1.11¹³ = $257.51PV of coupon payments = $80 x 6.7499 (PV annuity factor, 11%, 13 periods) = $539.99market value = $797.50
total nominal returns = $80 (coupon payment) + ($797.50 - $810) = $67.50
the real rate of return = {[1 + ($67.50/$810)] / (1 + 3.4%)} - 1 = 4.77%
Lake Power Sports sells jet skis and other powered recreational equipment. Customers pay 1/3 of the sales price of a jet ski when they initially purchase the ski, and then pay another 1/3 each year for the next two years. Because Lake has little information about collectibility of these receivables, they use the installment method for revenue recognition. In 2010 Lake began operations and sold jet skis with a total price of $900,000 that cost Lake $450,000. Lake collected $300,000 in 2010, $300,000 in 2011, and $300,000 in 2012 associated with those sales. In 2011 Lake sold jet skis with a total price of $1,500,000 that cost Lake $900,000. Lake collected $500,000 in 2011, $400,000 in 2012, and $400,000 in 2013 associated with those sales. In 2013 Lake also repossessed $200,000 of jet skis that were sold in 2011. Those jet skis had a fair value of $75,000 at the time they were repossessed.
1) In 2010, Lake would recognize realized gross profit of:______.
a) $0.
b) $450,000.
c) $300,000.
d) $150,000
2) In 2012, Lake would recgonize a realized gross profit of:_______.
a) $700,000.
b) $310,000.
c) $450,000.
d) $0
3) In 2013, Lake would record a lost on repossessions of:______.
a) $80,000.
b) $45,000.
c) $200,000.
d) $120,000.
4) In its December 31, 2011, balance sheet, Lake would report:_______.
a) deferred gross profit of $700,000.
b) installement receivables (net) of $900,000.
c) installment receivables (net) of $750,000.
d) deferred gross profit of $1,500,000.
Answer:
1) In 2010, Lake would recognize realized gross profit of:______.
a) $0.
Revenue for calculating gross profit is only recognized when the cost of goods sold (COGS) has been fully recovered.
2) In 2012, Lake would recognize a realized gross profit of:_______.
c) $450,000.
gross profit related to 2010 sales = $900,000 - $450,000 (remaining COGS) = $450,000
gross profit related to 2011 sales = $900,000 - $900,000 = $0
3) In 2013, Lake would record a lost on repossessions of:______.
c) $200,000.
4) In its December 31, 2011, balance sheet, Lake would report:_______.
b) installment receivables (net) of $900,000.
total installments receivables = $300,000 + $1,000,000 = $1,300,000
remaining COGS from 2011 sales = $400,000
installment receivables (net) = $1,300,000 - $400,000 = $900,000
The historical cost concept reflects the fact that financial accounting practice favors:________.
Reliability over relevance
Management's best guess over historical financial information
Relevance over reliability
Consensus market values over historical financial information
Answer:
Reliability over relevance
Explanation:
The historical cost principle states that assets must be recorded at purchase cost, disregarding any change in their market value. E.g. you purchased a land lot 10 years ago for $100,000 and now it is worth $500,000. It must be recorded at $100,000 since that was its original purchase cost.
Accounting tries to be as exact as possible, and if the carrying values started to change every period or even month by month because the accountant believed that the market value changed, then it would be a mess. Accountancy is not supposed to be a game of guessing, it is supposed to be as exact and reliable as possible.

suppose the production function is q min k 2l. how much output is produced when 4 units of labor and 9 units of capital are employed
Answer:8 = output produced
Explanation:
Given production function as q = min k 2l
where k = capital units
and l = labor units
min= minimum
Suppose units of labor = 4 units
capital employed = 9 units
q = min k 2l
q = min 9, 2 x 4
q= min 9, 8
q =8 = output produced , since 8 is the minimum output produced.
The production function is the technical relationship between the input and the output quantities being produced by the organization. The main factors affecting the production function are the amount of capital and the number of labor.
The output produced is 8 units.
Computation:
Given,
The production function is q=min{K,2L}
Were,
K is the capital units
L is the labor units
Equation:
Q=min {K, 2L}
Substituting the value of K and L in the above equation.
Q=min {9,2x4}
Q=min{9,8}
Therefore, the outputs produced with 4 units of labor and 9 units of capital is 8 units to be produced.

An eight-year project is estimated to cost $528,000 and have no residual value. If the straight-line depreciation method is used and the average rate of return is 18%. determine the estimated annual net income.
Answer: $48,420
Explanation:
Average rate of return = Annual Net Income/ Average Investment
Average Investment
= (Beginning value of asset - ending value) / 2
= ( 538,000 + 0)/2
= $269,000
18% = Annual Net Income/269,000
Annual Net Income = 269,000 * 18%
Annual Net Income = $48,420
A service station uses 1,200 cases of oil a year. Ordering costs is $40 and annual carrying cost is $3 per case. The station owner has specified an annual service level of 99%. A. What is the optimal order quantity? B. What level of safety stock is appropriate if lead time demand is normally distributed with a mean of 80 cases and a standard deviation of 6 cases?
Answer:
a) 179 cases
b) 14 cases
Explanation:
EOQ = √(2SD/H)
D = annual demand = 1,200
S = order cost = 40
H = holding cost per unit = 3
EOQ = √[(2 x 1,200 x 40)/3] = 178.89 = 179 cases
z for 99% service level = 2.33
safety stock = 2.33 x 80 x (6/80) = 13.98 - 14 cases
At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 26,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials, and 15% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 76,000 units and transferred 86,000 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 16,000 units in inventory, 90% 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:
materials = 100,400 units and conversion = 95,600 units
Explanation:
Computation of the equivalent units of production for materials
Units completed and transferred (86,000 × 100%) = 86,000
Units in Ending Work In Process (16,000 × 90%) = 14,400
Total equivalent units of production for materials = 100,400
Computation of the equivalent units of production for conversion cost
Units completed and transferred (86,000 × 100%) = 86,000
Units in Ending Work In Process (16,000 × 60%) = 9,600
Total equivalent units of production for Conversion cost = 95,600
Baden Corporation entered into a lease agreement for 100 photocopy machines for its corporate headquarters. The lease agreement qualifies as an operating lease except there is a bargain purchase option. After the 5-year lease term, the corporation can purchase each copier for $1,000, when the anticipated fair value is $2,500. Jerry Suffolk, the financial vice president, thinks the financial statements must recognize the lease agreement as a finance lease because of the bargain purchase option. The controller, Diane Buchanan, disagrees: "Although I don’t know much about the copiers themselves, there is a way to avoid recording the lease liability." She argues that the corporation might claim that the copier technology advances rapidly and that by the end of the lease term, the machines will most likely not be worth the $1,000 bargain price.
(a) What ethical issue is at stake?
(b) Should the controller’s argument be accepted if she does not really know much about copier technology? Would it make a difference if the controller were knowledgeable about the rate of change in copier technology?
(c) What should Suffolk do?
Answer:
Answer is explained below
Explanation:
A)
The ethical issue at stake is whether to record the lease agreement for 100 photocopy machine as a finance lease or operating lease because in operating lease we don't record it as asset or liability in financial statements but in finance lease, we record both asset and liability generally at the present value of rentals payments. As the bargain option is available this lease agreement will be said to be a finance lease agreement.
B)
No without knowing much about the copier technology the argument of controller should not be accepted.
C)
Suffolk should represent lease as a financial lease but he can get the terms of lease revised as to the fair value of copier revised after the proper analysis and computation of copier value.
You sell one IBM July 90 call contract for a premium of $4 and two puts for a premium of $3 each. You hold the position until the expiration date, when IBM stock sells for $95 per share. You will realize a ______ . A. $300 profit B. $100 loss C. $500 profit D. $200 profit
Answer: C. $500 profit
Explanation:
The total premium you will receive from selling both bearing in mind that contracts are per 100 each will be;
= (Call Premium + Put Premium) * 100
= (4 + ( 3 * 2)) * 100
= $1,000
As the prices went up, the only option that will be exercised will be the call option. The loss made when this happens will be;
= ( New Stock price - Exercise price) * 100
= ( 95 - 90) * 100
= $500
Total Profit (loss) made = Premium - loss
= 1,000 - 500
= $500

Tara Westmont, the stockholder of Tiptoe Shoes, Inc. had annual revenues of $203,000, expenses of $112,700, and the company paid $25,200 cash in dividends to the owner (sole stockholder). The retained earnings account before closing had a balance of $315,000. The ending retained earnings balance after closing is:
a. $203,000
b. $65,100
c. $90,300
d. $380,100
e. $405,300
Answer:
The Ending balance = $380100. Thus option D is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The net income of the company is used or utilized in two ways at the end of the year. It is either paid out as dividend or retained in the business and transferred to the retained earnings account or both. To calculate the ending balance of retained earnings account, we use the following equation,
Ending balance = Opening balance + Net Income - Cash Dividends
First we need to determine the net income for the year.
Net Income = Revenue - Expenses
Net Income = 203000 - 112700
Net Income = $90300
Ending balance of retained earnings account will be,
Ending balance = 315000 + 90300 - 25200
Ending balance = $380100
A bank of 10 machines requires regular periodic service. Machine running time and service time are both exponential. what is the optimal number of operators for this bank of machines
Answer:
hello your question lacks some details below is the complete question
A bank of 10 machines requires regular periodic service. Machine running time and service time are both exponential. Machines run for an average of 44 minutes between service requirements, and service time averages six minutes per machine
If operators cost $15 per hour in wages and fringe benefits and machine downtime costs $75 per hour in lost production, what is the optimal number of operators for this bank of machines?
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
E 5
Answer : 3 operators ( c )
Explanation:
number of machines = 10
machine run time for each = 44 minutes
service time = 6 minutes
cost of each operator = $15 per hour
loss during machine down time = $75 per hour
hence the optimal number of operators
The total minutes the machine would work in a hour
= (60 - 6) * 10 = 540 minutes
assuming we assign 180 minutes to each operator then each operator would cost = 15 * 3 = $45
for three operators that would be = 45 * 3 = $135
lost inquired during down time
= 6 minutes * 10 = 60 minutes i.e the total cost inquired per hour = $75
hence 3 operators would be an optimal number of operators because the operators would work lesser hours and more efficiently as well

Group of answer choices
A. net sale proceeds
B. selling expenses
C. terminal value
D. current market value
Answer:
C. Terminal value.
Explanation:
When using discounted cash flow analysis for valuation, the appraiser must estimate the sale price at the end of the expected holding period. This price (assuming selling expenses have yet to be accounted for) is referred to as the property's terminal value.
Terminal value can be defined as the discounted value of all cash flows for a property after its forecast period or investment time in discounted cash flow analysis.
This ultimately implies that, the property's terminal value is primarily used for the estimation or determination of its value based on future cash inflow.
What arguments should be considered in assessing the burden that government debt imposes on future generations?
A. Much of the debt is held by foreigners so that the holders of government bonds are not also taxpayers.
B. Government budget deficits may crowd out private investment, lowering the future capital stock with fewer goods and services being produced in the future.
C. High levels of debt may lead to debt intolerance and increase the risk of default.
D. A and C only.
E. All of the above.
Answer:
E. All of the above.
Explanation:
A) This has happened to other countries, e.g. over 100 years ago, the US owned a very large portion of British foreign debt and it was able to influence British policies. Until that time, the British had been the largest in the world.
B) When government sell bonds, it withdraws money form the economy and increases interest rates, which in the long run will lower capital stock and hurt the economy.
C) The higher the debt level, the higher the interest that must be paid. This also applies to everyone. Imagine if you do not owe any money, and if you need to loan you have several options where to choose from. But if you are over your head in debt, banks will stop lending you money and you will have to look to more expensive sources of credit.
A coupon bond pays annual interest, has a par value of $1,000, matures in 4 years, has a coupon rate of 10%, and has a yield to maturity of 12%. The current yield on this bond is
Answer:
The answer is 10.65 percent
Explanation:
We first find the curren price of the bond
N(Number of periods) = 4 years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 12 percent
PV(present value or market price) = ?
PMT( coupon payment) = $100 (10 percent x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 4; I/Y = 12; PMT = 100; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= -939.25
The market price of the bond is $939.25
Therefore, the current yield on this bond is 100/939.25
= 0.1065
Expressed as a percentage
10.65 percent
