You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $160,000, and it would cost another $40,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $80,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require a $7,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $52,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%.
Required:
a. What is the initial investment outlay for the spectrometer, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow?
b. What are the project's annual cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3?
Answer:
a.
$207,000
b.
Year 1: $57,600
Year 2: $67,200
Year 3: $30,000

Equipment acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $30,800 has an estimated residual value of $2,800 and an estimated useful life of four years. Determine the following: (a) The depreciable cost $fill in the blank 1 (b) The straight-line rate fill in the blank 2 % (c) The annual straight-line depreciation $fill in the blank 3
Answer:
$28000
25%
$7000
Explanation:
Depreciable cost = cost of the asset - residual value
$30,800 - $2800 = $28,000
The straight-line rate = annual depreciation expense / Depreciable cost
7000 / 28,000 x 100 = 25%
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
$28,000 / 4 = $7000
The following labor standards have been established for a particular product:
Standard labor hours per unit of output 4.4 hours
Standard labor rate $16.70 per hour
The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month:
Actual hours worked 5,200 hours
Actual total labor cost $87,360
Actual output 1,100 units
Required:
a. What is the labor rate variance for the month?
b. What is the labor efficiency variance for the month?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. Labor rate variance for the month
= (SR - AR) × AH
= ($16.70 - ($87,360/5,200 hours)) × 5,200
= ($16.70 - $16.8) × 5,200
= $520 Unfavourable
b. Labor efficiency variance
= (SH - AH) × AR
(4.4 × 1,100) - 5,200) × $16.70
= (4,840 - 5,200) × $16.70
= $6,012 Unfavourable

he's!Once the cells in a biological machine stop working, it can never be started again. It goes into a cascade of decay, falling toward disorder and randomness. Except in the case of viruses. They can turn off and go dead. Then, if they come in contact with a living system, they switch on and multiply. The only thing that "lived" inside this monkey was the unknown agent, and it was dead, for the time being. It was not multiplying or doing anything, since the monkey's cells were dead. But if the agent touched living cells, Nancy's cells, it would come alive and begin to amplify itself. In theory, it could amplify itself around the world in the human species.
Summary of central idea: It is petrifying that even if viruses are dead, they have the potential to "come alive.”
Other things equal, the deadweight loss of a tax Group of answer choices decreases as the size of the tax increases. increases as the size of the tax increases, but the increase in the deadweight loss is less rapid than the increase in the size of the tax. increases as the size of the tax increases, and the increase in the deadweight loss is more rapid than the increase in the size of the tax. increases as the price elasticities of demand and/or supply increase, but the deadweight loss does not change as the size of the tax increases.
Answer:
increase as the size of the tax increase, and the increase in the deadweight loss is more rapid than the increase in the size of the tax.
Explanation:
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
The different types of tax include the following;
1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.
2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.
3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.
Other things being equal (ceteris paribus), the deadweight loss (loss of economic efficiency due to a lack of balance in competing economical influences for goods or services) of a tax increase as the size of the tax increase, and the increase in the deadweight loss is more rapid than the increase in the size of the tax.

Kemp Manufacturing set 70,000 direct labor hours as the annual capacity measure for computing its predetermined variable overhead rate. At that level, budgeted variable overhead costs are $315,000. Kemp will apply budgeted fixed overhead of $140,400 on the basis of 3,900 budgeted machine hours for the year. Both machine hours and fixed overhead costs are expected to be incurred evenly each month. During March 2013, Kemp incurred 5,900 direct labor hours and 300 machine hours. Actual variable and fixed overhead were $26,325 and $11,400, respectively. The standard times allowed for March production were 5,980 direct labor hours and 290 machine hours.
Required:
a. Using the four-variance approach, determine the overhead variances for March 2013.
b. Prepare all journal entries related to overhead for Kemp Manufacturing for March 2013.
Answer:
Kemp Manufacturing
a. Four-variance approach to determine overhead variances for March 2013:
i. Variable overhead spending variance
= (Actual hours worked × Actual variable overhead rate) – (Actual hours worked × Standard variable overhead rate)
= $225 F ($26,325 - $26,550)
ii. Variable overhead efficiency variance
= (standard hours allowed for production – actual hours taken) × standard overhead absorption rate per hour
= $360 F (5,980 - 5,900) * $4.5
iii. Fixed overhead spending variance = actual fixed overhead cost - budgeted fixed overhead cost
= $600 U ($11,400 - $10,800)
iv. Fixed overhead production volume variance = budgeted fixed overhead - applied fixed overhead costs
= $360 U ($10,440 - $10,800)
b. Journal Entries:
Manufacturing Overheads:
Debit Manufacturing Overhead $26,325
Debit Overapplied Variable Overhead 225
Credit Manufacturing Overhead Applied $26,550
To record variable overhead costs.
Debit Manufacturing Overhead $11,400
Credit Manufacturing Overhead Applied $10,800
Credit Underapplied Fixed Overhead $600
To record fixed overhead costs.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Annual Capacity:
Direct labor hours = 70,000
Budgeted variable overhead costs = $315,000
Standard variable overhead rate = $4.50 ($315,000/70,000)
Fixed overhead = $140,400
Budgeted machine hours for the year = 3,900
Standard fixed overhead rate = $36 ($140,400/3,900)
March 2013:
Actual direct labor hours = 5,900
Machine hours = 300
Actual variable overhead = $26,325
Actual variable overhead rate per DLH = $4.462 ($26,325/5,900)
Actual fixed overhead = $11,400
Actual fixed overhead rate = $38 ($11,400/300)
Standard machine hours = 290
Standard direct labor hours = 5,980

Suppose the government imposes a tax on three products with differing demand elasticities. Match the product to the group that will most likely bear the incidence of the tax.
a. the government
b. producers
c. consumers and producers
d. consumers
1. highly inelastic
2. somewhat elastic
3. highly elastic
Answer:
a. Government - highly Inelastic
b. producers - Somewhat elastic
c. consumers and producers - Highly elastic
d. consumers - Highly elastic
Explanation:
Inelastic demand is that which does not changes with the change in the price of any product.
Government oriented demand remains constant irrespective of pricing and hence it is highly inelastic while in case of producers and consumers, the demand may vary depending on the substitute availability in the market
Answer: producer - highly elastic
Consumers and producers - somewhat elastic
Consumers - highly inelastic
government- none
Explanation:
Suppose that Sarita has a gross annual income of $43,000. Her annual deductions for taxes, 401(k) retirement plan contributions, and health insurance amount to $9,400. This leaves Sarita with an annual disposable income of $33,600. Dividing Sarita annual disposable income by 12, you can determine that Sarita has a monthly disposable income of $__________ .
Answer:
Monthly disposal income = $2,800
Explanation:
Disposal income is the amount left for spending after all statutory deductions and taxes have been subtracted from an employees' income.
Annual Disposal income = Annual gross Income - statutory deductions and taxes
Monthly disposal income = Annual disposal/12
= (43,000-9,400)/12= $2,800
Monthly disposal income = $2,800
Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 14% and a standard deviation of 30%. The T-bill rate is 6%. Your risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions: Stock A 24 % Stock B 32 Stock C 44 Your client decides to invest in your risky portfolio a proportion (y) of his total investment budget with the remainder in a T-bill money market fund so that his overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 13%. a. What is the proportion y? (Round your answer to 1 decimal places.) b. What are your client's investment proportions in your three stocks and in T-bills? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.) c. What is the standard deviation of the rate of return on your client's portfolio?
Answer:
a. 87.5%
b. Stock A: 21%; Stock B: 28%; Stock C: 38.5%; T-bill: 12.5%
c. Standard deviation of the client's portfolio: 26.25%
Explanation:
a. y is calculated as:
Risky portfolio return * y + T-bill return * (1 - y) = Expected return of the portfolio <=> 0.14y + 0.06 ( 1-y) = 0.13 <=> y = 87.5%
b. Client investment in each stock and in T-bills:
Client investment in each stock = 0.875 * percentage of each stock in a risky portfolio ( because the risky portfolio is accounted for 87.5% of the whole investment)
=> Stock A = 24% x 0.875 = 21% ; Stock B = 32% * 0.875 = 28% ; Stock C = 44 * 0.875 = 38.5%
Client investment in T-bill = 1- y = 1 - 0.875 = 12.5%
c. Standard deviation is calculated as: Standard deviation of risky portfolio * y = 30% * 87.5% = 26.25% (because standard deviation of return in T-bill is 0)

The following events occurred during March: 8,600 pounds of sand were purchased at a cost of $7,310. 7,200 pounds of sand were used for core tests. 840 actual direct labor hours were worked at a cost of $8,610. The direct material usage variance for March is:
Answer:
1200 U
Explanation:
Standard of material usage:
Material required 3 pounds per test
2000 core tests performed
Standard usage : 2,000 test * 3 pound per test = 6000 pounds
Actual usage of material = 7,200
Variance = 1,200 unfavorable.

Please EXPLAIN answer for a thumps-up. I'm tried of wrong answers, please don't answer it unless you are 100% sure.
Answer:
A. The correct option is b. $46,067.
B. The correct option is d. $46,620.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
A. Assuming that Rich does not maintain perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the weighted-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar?
Note: See part A of the attached excel file for the calculation of the of units and cost of goods available for sale.
Since Rich does not maintain perpetual inventory records, this implies that this is a periodic inventory system. And update to inventory in a periodic inventory system are made on a regular basis, such as monthly, quarterly, etc.
From the part A attached excel file, we have:
Units of goods available for sale = 23,100
Cost of goods available for sales = $236,481
Weighted-average cost per unit = Cost of goods available for sales / Units of goods available for sale = $236,481 / 23,100 = $10.2372727272727
Inventory at January 31 = Units of inventory balance at January 31 * Weighted-average cost per unit = 4,500 * $10.2372727272727 = $46,068
From the options the closest one is b. $46,067. Therefore, the inventory at January 31 is $46,067 and the correct option is b. $46,067.
B. Assuming that Rich maintains perpetual inventory records, what should be the inventory at January 31, using the moving-average inventory method, rounded to the nearest dollar?
Note: See part B of the attached excel file for the calculation of the inventory at January 31 (in bold red color).
Under Perpetual Inventory system, the inventory is updated whenever a purchase or sale is made. It's a procedure that happens in real time.
In the Part B of the attached excel file, the following rates in light red color are made as follows:
Rate on January 6 = ($87,930 + $61,800) / 15,000 = $9.98 per unit
Rate on January 26 = ($74,865 + 86,751) / 15,600 = $10.36 per unit
From the part B attached excel file, we have:
Inventory at January 31 = $46,620.
Therefore, the correct option is d. $46,620.
Kramer and Knox began a partnership by investing $58,000 and $65,000, respectively. During its first year, the partnership earned $160,000. Prepare calculations showing how the $160,000 income should be allocated to the partners under each of the following three separate plans for sharing income and loss:(1) The partners failed to agree on a method to share income.(2) The partners agreed to share income and loss in proportion to their initial investments. (Do not round intermediate calculations.(3) The partners agreed to share income by granting a $56,500 per year salary allowance to Kramer, a $46,500 per year salary allowance to Knox, 12% interest on their initial capital investments.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. At the time when the partner failed to share the incom and loss so it is assume that the net income i.e. $160,000 should be shared equally so for both it is $80,000 each
2. When the income is shared as per their initial investment
Particulars Kramer Knox Total

Assume that IBM is expected to pay a total cash dividend of $5.60 next year and that dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 5% per year forever. Assuming annual dividend payments, what is the current market value of a share of IBM stock if the required return on IBM common stock is 10%?
Answer: $112
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Growth Rate = 5%
Dividend at end of year,D1 = 5.60
Required return, ke = 10%
Then, the current market value will be:
P0 = De/(ke-g)
= 5.60/(10% - 5%)
= 5.60 / 5%
= 5.60/0.05
= $112
Therefore, the current market value of a share of IBM stock is $112.
Jarett Motors is trying to decide whether it should keep its existing car washing machine or purchase a new one that has technological advantages (which translate into cost savings) over the existing machine. Information on each machine follows: Old machine New machine Original cost $9,000 $20,000 Accumulated depreciation 5,000 0 Annual cash operating costs 9,000 4,000 Current salvage value of old machine 2,000 Salvage value in 10 years 500 1,000 Remaining life 10 yrs 10 yrs Refer to Jarett Motors. The $4,000 of annual operating costs that are common to both the old and the new machine are an example of a(n):________ a. opportunity cost b. irrelevant cost c. future avoidable cost d. sunk cost
Answer:
The correct option is b. irrelevant cost.
Explanation:
An irrelevant cost can be described as an expense that will not be affected by the decisions of thee management. Therefore, irrelevant costs are those that will not change if you choose one option over another in the future.
Therefore, the $4,000 of annual operating costs that are common to both the old and the new machine are an example of irrelevant cost. This is because the 4,000 of annual operating costs will not be affected or will still be incurred whether Jarett Motors managment decide to keep its existing car washing machine or purchase a new one.
Therefore, the correct option is b. irrelevant cost.
Cho e hỏi các vấn đề của chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm trong kinh doanh ẩm thực và cách khắc phục ạ
Mong mọi người giúp đỡ e ạ
Answer: Dưới nhu cầu thưởng thức các loại thực phẩm đa dạng, tươi ngon vào bất kỳ thời điểm nào trong năm, chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm đã phải mở rộng hơn nhiều về mặt địa lý và buộc phải thông qua nhiều nhà cung cấp hơn. Điều này đã làm cho nghiệp vụ quản lý chuỗi cung ứng ngành thực phẩm trở nên cồng kềnh và phức tạp hơn bao giờ hết. Các nhà sản xuất, nhà phân phối hay các nhà cung cấp dịch vụ logistics theo đó cũng phải chịu những áp lực không nhỏ để đưa các sản phẩm thực phẩm ra thị trường một cách nhanh chóng, an toàn và trong điều kiện tốt nhất có thể. Một chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm điển hình bao gồm sáu giai đoạn:
1. Tìm nguồn cung cấp nguyên liệu thô
2. Sản xuất
3. Chế biến và đóng gói
4. Lưu trữ
5. Phân phối bán buôn
6.Phân phối bán lẻ
Explanation:
1. Bên cạnh đó mọi vấn đề liên quan đến giá trị sản xuất đều gặp những khó khăn nhất định, một trong những vấn đề mà mọi doanh nghiệp hay cá nhân tham gia vào chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm đều phải lo ngại về vấn đề ( Tìm nguồn cung cấp nguyên liệu thô). Vấn đề truy xuất và đảm bảo nguồn thực phẩm sạch là vấn đề cần cân nhắc đầu tiên, đi đôi đó là phải đảm bảo phù hợp với mô hình kinh doanh của doanh nghiệp, phù hợp với điều kiện kinh tế.
May mắn thay chúng ta đang sống ở thời đại 4.0 việc truy xuất nguồn gốc nguyên liệu đã không còn nhiều thách thách bởi việc áp dụng công nghệ vào việc truy xuất nguyên liệu rất dễ dàng ví dụ thông qua mã code, mã QR... bằng vài một thao tác đơn giản cũng có thể truy xuất nguồn gốc nguyên liệu nhanh, hiệu quả, tiết kiết chi phí đi lại xác minh. Vấn đề thứ hai là đảm bảo nguồn nguyên liệu thô được xử lý an toàn đã và đang ngày càng không còn là thách thức. Bởi việc ứng dụng công nghệ vào xử lý nguyên liệu thô vừa nhanh chóng, chính xác hiệu quả, ví dụ ngay từ khâu thu hoạch nguyên liệu thô các may móc đã hỗ trợ giúp đảm bảo nguồn nguyên liệu đầu vào đều và chính xác. Các khâu gieo trồng hay xử lý cũng được giúp ngắn và khoa học nhờ có ứng dụng công nghệ, khoa học. Nhưng đi bên cạnh là chi phí cao để đảm bảo chất lượng.
Bên cạnh đó việc xây dựng một mạng lưới về chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm trong kinh doanh là một việc vô cùng quan trọng, quyết định sự phát triển của cả doanh nghiệp. Mặc dù là một loại công nghệ vẫn chưa được sử dụng rộng rãi trong ngành công nghiệp thực phẩm, nhưng blockchain được nhiều lãnh đạo coi là một công nghệ đầy hứa hẹn cho phép truy xuất nguồn gốc trong chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm.
Công nghệ blockchain là một nền tảng số chung, nơi người dùng có thể lưu trữ và chia sẻ thông tin qua một mạng lưới tổng. Hệ thống này cho phép người dùng xem tất cả các giao dịch cùng một thời điểm trong thời gian thực. Một trong những lợi thế chính của blockchain là một khi thông tin được thêm vào hệ thống, thông tin đó sẽ được phân phối nội bộ trong mạng lưới và được lưu trữ cố định trong đó vĩnh viễn. Thông tin do vậy sẽ không thể bị tấn công, thao túng hoặc bị hư hại bởi bất kỳ cách nào.
2. Tiếp đó là thách thức chi phí vận hành chuỗi cung ứng tăng cao
Điều hành một chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm sẽ tiêu tốn nhiều loại chi phí, một số chi phí quan trọng bao gồm: Chi phí điện và nhiên liệu, Chi phí logistics, vận chuyển hàng hóa , Chi phí nhân công , Chi phí đầu tư vào công nghệ mới
Những chi phí này rất đáng kể, do vậy, việc theo dõi chi phí hoạt động thường xuyên là một thách thức cho các doanh nghiệp ngành thực phẩm.
Cho nên giải pháp hữu hiệu nhất đó là Bước đầu tiên để kiểm soát chi phí là phải hiểu rõ các loại chi phí hiện có trong hoạt động doanh nghiệp. Trong các chuỗi cung ứng đơn giản, điều này có thể được thực hiện bằng các công cụ bảng tính. Nhưng ở nếu chuỗi cung ứng ngày càng trở nên phức tạp, doanh nghiệp sẽ cần một giải pháp công nghệ. Doanh nghiệp nên nâng cấp công nghệ của mình, những công việc như gửi tệp bảng tính qua email hay gọi điện báo tin cần được loại bỏ.
Một lưu ý khác là nếu các lãnh đạo quá quan tâm đến việc tiết kiệm chi phí thì tính hiệu quả và sự phát triển lâu dài của doanh nghiệp có thể bị kìm hãm. Một giải pháp công nghệ “đắt tiền”, ví dụ đó là đẩy mạnh mảng truyền trông marketing sản phảm, xâm nhập thị trường khôn ngoan bằng công nghệ mới, mặt hàng mới tác dụng mới, có thể mang lại lợi tức đầu tư đáng kể và tiết kiệm rất nhiều loại chi phí về lâu dài. Từ đó, doanh nghiệp vận hành hiệu quả và trở nên hấp dẫn hơn trong mắt các khách hàng.
Trên đây là những vấn đề cơ bản mà mình nghĩ sẽ giúp ích cho bạn từ kinh nghiệp của bản thân cũng như những kinh nghiệm mà mình học hỏi được. Mong rằng sẽ giúp ích cho bạn. Mình chỉ muốn khuyên là hãy trở thành nhà đầu tư, kinh doanh khôn ngoan, sáng tạo.
