Solution :
a). Asset turnover ratio = total sales / total asset = 3.50
Total asset = 40 million / 3.5 = 1142857
Total debt = 2.50 million
Therefore, the debt ratio = [tex]$\frac{\text{debt}}{\text{total asset}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{2500000}{1142857}$[/tex]
= 2.18
b). Time interest earned ratio = EBIT/Interest
EBIT = net sales - operating expense
= 40,000,000 - 18,000,000
= $ 22,000,000
Interest expense = 10 % x 2,500,000
= $ 250,000
Times interest earned ratio = EBIT/ interest expense
= [tex]$\frac{\$ 22,000,000}{\$250,000}$[/tex]
= 88 times
c). Total equity = total asset - total debt
= 400,000,000 - 2,500,000
= 397,500,000
Money raised from the creditor for each dollar of equity
= 2,500,000/397,500,000
= 6%

In addition, you determine that the June 30, 2021, inventory balance is $41,000.
Required:
Calculate the cost of goods sold for the Askew Company for the year ending June 30, 2021.
Answer: $242,400
Explanation:
The Costs of goods sold can be calculated as follows:
= Beginning inventory + Net Purchases + Freight-in - Ending inventory
= Beginning inventory + (Purchases - Purchase discounts - Purchases returns) + Freight-in - Ending inventory
= 32,400 + (250,000 - 7,000 - 11,000) + 19,000 - 41,000
= $242,400
Birmingham Bolt, Inc., has been approached by one of its customers about producing 800,000 special-purpose parts for a new home product. The customer wants 100,000 parts per year for eight years. To provide these parts, Birmingham would need to acquire a $500,000 new production machine. The new machine would have no salvage value at the end of its eight-year life. The customer has offered to pay Birmingham $7.50 per unit for the parts. Birmingham’s managers have estimated that, in addition to the new machine, the company would incur the following costs to produce each part:
Direct labor $2.00
Direct material $2.50
Variable 2.00
Total $6.50
In addition, annual fixed out-of-pocket costs related to the production of these parts would be $20,000.
a. Compute the net present value of the machine investment, assuming that the company uses a discount rate of 9 percent to evaluate capital projects.
b. Based on the NPV computed in (a), is the machine a worthwhile investment? Explain.
c. In addition to the NPV, what other factors should Birmingham’s managers consider when making the investment decision?
Answer:
Birmingham Bolt, Inc.
a. The net present value of the machine investment = ($57,214.47).
b. Based on the computed NPV in (a), the machine is not a worthwhile investment. Birmingham will lose $57,214.47 from the investment.
c. In addition to the NPV, the other factors that Birmingham’s managers should consider when making the investment decision are:
1. the probability of reducing the variable costs per unit of production by achieving productivity efficiencies.
2. whether the price could be reviewed upward with the customer.
3. whether there will be increased demand for the product in the future.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Special-purpose parts for a new home product = 800,000 parts
Annual requirement of the parts = 100,000
Period of contract = 8 years
Discount rate = 9%
Initial investment in production machine = $500,000
Price offer per part = $7.50
Annual sales revenue from parts = $750,000
Variable costs;
Direct labor $2.00
Direct material $2.50
Variable $2.00
Total $6.50 $650,000
Contribution margin $100,000
Annual fixed costs $20,000
Annual net cash inflow $80,000
PV of annual cash inflows = $442,785.53
NPV = ($57,214.47) ($442,785.53 - $500,000)
N (# of periods) 8
I/Y (Interest per year) 9
PMT (Periodic Payment) 80000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results
PV = $442,785.53
Sum of all periodic payments = $640,000.00
Total Interest = $197,214.47
Durban Metal Products, Ltd., of the Republic of South Africa makes specialty metal parts used in applications ranging from the cutting edges of bulldozer blades to replacement parts for Land Rovers.

The order required 180 direct labor-hours, 13 hours of product testing, and 6 sales calls.Required: Prepare a report summarizing the overhead costs assigned to the order for heavy-duty trailer axles. What is the total overhead cost assigned to the order?
Answer:
Total allocated costs= $13,266
Explanation:
To calculate the costs allocated to the order, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Order size= 16.40*180= 2,952
Customer orders= 363*1= 363
Product testing= 71*13= 923
Selling= 1,488*6= 8,928
Total allocated costs= $13,266

Explanation:
how van an oligopoly cause market failure (8)
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
An oligopoly can cause market failure because companies that form the oligopoly do not allow other companies to enter and compete in the market. This action limits consumers to choose from a variety of options, including quality, the best price, and service.
Often, oligopoly associates the strongest or more powerful companies in order to wipe out other minor competitors. They want to establish a dominant presence that affects prices and consumers participation.
Oligopoly practices result in inefficiency and instability in the market. That is why oligopolies are not good for the economy.
The automobile industry is mostly associated with an oligopoly.
When a market is controlled by just a few numbers of companies, but none of them is above the others, we are talking about an oligopoly. They can collude intentionally or not, to establish prizes and to not let other companies compete with them.
At a specific point on the demand curve for backpacks, the elasticity of demand is calculated to be -1.6.
a. At that point, we would describe demand as ________.
b. If the price of backpacks fell by 10%, the quantity demanded would rise by ________and revenue for the backpack industry would ______ .
c. If the price of backpacks rose by 20% the quantity demanded would fall by _______ and revenue for the backpack industry would ________.
Answer:
elastic
16%
32%
decrease
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

Mercury Company has only one inventory pool. On December 31, 2021, Mercury adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method. The inventory on that date using the dollar-value LIFO method was $201,000. Inventory data are as follows:
Year Ending Inventory at Year-End Costs Ending Inventory at Base Year Costs
2019 $260,400 $248,000
2020 347,300 302,000
2021 350,400 292,000
Required:
Compute the inventory at December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021, using the dollar-value LIFO method.
Answer:
Explanation:
The cost index can be calculated as follows:
In 2019:
= 260400/248000
= 1.05
In 2020:
= 347300/302000
= 1.15
In 2021:
= 350400/292000
= 1.2
Inventory Layers converted to the base cost
Date [tex]\text{(Inventory at } \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{(year-end } \\ \\ \text{ year end cost) } \div \ \ \ \text{cost index) } = \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{ Inventory layers(base year cost) }[/tex]
12/31/20 201000 ÷ 1 = 201000
12/31/20 260400 ÷ 1.05 = 248000
12/31/20 347300 ÷ 1.15 = 302000
12/31/20 350400 ÷ 1.2 = 292000
Inventory Layers converted to cost Ending Inventory DVL cost

Number of machine hours
$
14,360.00
3,090 machine hours
4,090 machine hours
Required :
1. Calculate the activity rates for each cost pool assuming Schell uses an ABC system. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Activity Rate
Material Handing
Per Material Move
Quality Control
Per Inspection
Maintenance
Per Machine Hourm
2. Calculate the amount of overhead that Schell will assign to the Standard floor mat line. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.
Total Overhead Assigned
3. Determine the amount of overhead Schell will assign to the Deluxe product line. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Total Overhead Assigned
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. The activity rate for each cost pool is
Material handling ($2,300) ÷ (50 + 50) = $23.00
Quality Control ($8,763) ÷ ($570 + 700) = $6.90
Machine Maintenance ($14,360) ÷ (3,090 + 4,090) = $2.00
2
Total overhead assigned to the standard floor mat line is
= $23 × 40 + $6.9 × 570 + $2 × 3,090
= $1,150 + $3,933 + $6,180
= $11,263.00
3
Total overhead assigned to deluxe product line
= $23 × 50 + $6.9 × 700 + $2 × 4,090
= $1,150 + $4,830 + $8,180
= $14,160.00

As you move from job shop towards continuous process: A. Your capital intensity decreases B. Your volume decreases C. Your customization ability decreases D. Your throughput decreases E. None of the above
Answer: C. Your customization ability decreases.
Explanation:
Job Shops are able to customize products and services because they manufacture products on a small scale and usually for individual job orders whereas continuous processing is more large scale and the products are more homogeneous.
As one move from a job shop to a continuous process, they will find that they would be unable to customize products as much as they could before because they would be producing a higher volume of goods and so would not have the time to be customizing the products as much.

Francisco leased equipment from Julio on December 31, 2021. The lease is a 10-year lease with annual payments of $159,000 due on December 31 of each year beginning December 31, 2021. The present value of the lease payments is $1,006,192. Francisco's incremental borrowing rate is 14% for this type of lease. The implicit rate of 12% is known by the lessee. What should be the balance in Francisco lease liability at December 31, 2022
Answer: $789855
Explanation:
Initial liability = $1,006,192
Less: Payment = $159,000
Liability = $847192
× Implicit rate 12%
Interest = 12% × $847192 = $101663
Then, reduced balance will be:
= Payment - Interest
= $159,000 - $101663
= $57337
Therefore, Francisco lease liability at December 31, 2022 will be:
= $847192 - $57337
= $789855

c. Calculate the earnings from operations (operating income) for the year ended December 31, 2019.
d. Calculate the net income (or loss) for the year ended December 31, 2019.
e. What was the average income tax rate for Pope’s Garage for 2019?
f. If $16,000 of dividends had been declared and paid during the year, what was the January 1, 2019, balance of retained earnings?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the total current asset is shown below
= Account receivable + cash + supplies + merchandise inventory
= $33,000 + $9,000 + $6,000 + $31,000
= $79,000
b The total liabilities and owners equity is
= Account payable + long term debt + common stock + retained earnings
= $23,000 + $40,000 + $10,000 + $59,000
= $132,000
c. The earnings from operations is
Sales revenue $140,000

Based on this income statement for Company XYZ for the year ending December 31, 2014, what adjustment would need to be made to Net Income to account for Gain or Loss in calculating cash flow from Operating Activities using the indirect method
Answer:
a) Adjustment of (16,000) in the operating section.
Explanation:
While preparing the operating activities section of the cash flow statement, the net income, depreciation expense, amortization expense, loss on sale of an asset should be added and the profit on sale should be deducted
So there is the loss of $30,000 that should be added and the gain on sale should be deducted i.e. $46,000
So there is an adjustment of -$16,000 in the operating activities section

It just paid a dividend of $1.5 a share (i.e., D0 = $1.5). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% a year.
Required:
a. What stock price is expected 1 year from now?
b. What is the required rate of return?
Answer:
b 6.87%
a 56.53
Explanation:
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
38 = (1.5 x 1.04) / (r - 0.04)
38 (r - 0.04) = 1.092
r - 0,04 = 0.0287
r = 6.87%
1.5 x (1.04^2) / 6.87 - 4 = 56.53
