Production runs 200 runs 200 runs

Required:
Using ABC, compute the total cost per case for each product type if the direct labor and direct materials cost is $6 per case of Extra Fine and $5 per case of Family Style.

Answers

Answer:

Extra Fine= $26

Family Style= $12.98

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the activities rate for each department and support:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Department 1:

Mixing= 4,500/1,500= $3 per machine hour

Cooking= 11,250/1,500= $7.5 per machine hour

Product testing= 112,500/600= $187.5 per batch

Department 2:

Machine calibration= 250,000/400= $625 per production run

Labeling= 12,000/120,000= $0.1 per cases of output

Defects= 6,000/120,000= $0.05 per cases of output

Support:

Recipe formulation= 90,000/45= $2,000 per focus group

Heat, lights, and water= 27,000/1,500= $18 per machine hour

Materials handling= 65,000/8= $8,125 per container types

Now, we can allocate overhead to each product:

Extra Fine:

Department 1:

Mixing= 3*500= $1,500

Cooking= 7.5*500= $3,750

Product testing= 187.5*200= $37,500

Department 2:

Machine calibration= 625*200= 125,000

Labeling= 0.1*20,000= 2,000

Defects= 0.05*20,000= 1,000

Support:

Recipe formulation= 2,000*30= 60,000

Heat, lights, and water= 18*500= 9,000

Materials handling= 8,125*5= 40,625

Total allocated overhead= $280,375

Unitary cost= 280,375/20,000= $14

Family Style:

Department 1:

Mixing= 3*1,000= $3,000

Cooking= 7.5*1,000= $7,500

Product testing= 187.5*400= $75,000

Department 2:

Machine calibration= 625*200= 125,000

Labeling= 0.1*100,000= 10,000

Defects= 0.05*20,000= 5,000

Support:

Recipe formulation= 2,000*15= 30,000

Heat, lights, and water= 18*1,000= 18,000

Materials handling= 8,125*3= 24,375

Total allocated overhead= $297,875

Unitary cost= 297,875/100,000= $2.98

Finally, the total unitary cost:

Extra Fine= 6 + 6 + 14= $26

Family Style= 5 + 5 + 2.98= $12.98

Lipscomb Corporation is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20 percent debt, 20 percent preferred stock, and 60 percent common equity. Its bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for 1,000 USD. The firm could sell, at par, 100 USD preferred stock which pays a 12 percent annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Libscomb is a constant-growth firm which just paid a dividend of $2.00, sells for 27.00 USD per share, and has a growth rate of 8 percent. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40.

Required:
a. What is Rollins' cost of common stock using the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach?
b. What is Rollins' WACC?

Answers

Answer:

a. 16%

b.  13.566%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital is the rate that a company is expected to pay on average to all its security holders to finance its assets. The WACC is commonly referred to as the firm's cost of capital.

DATA

P is price = 27

G is growth = 8%

Tax rate = 40%

Requirement a.

When the market rate of bond is equal to par value then yield is equal to the coupon rate

Tax rate = 12(1-0.4) = 7.2%

Cost of preferred stock = dividend/price

There will be a 5% floatation cost so net proceeds is 95

Cost of preferred stock = 12/95 = 12.63%

Cost of equity = D1/P + g

Where D1 is dividend for year 1 = 2+8% = 2.16

Cost of equity = 2.16/27 + 0.08

Cost of equity = 16%

Requirement  b

Wacc = 7.2×20% + 12.63×20% + 16×60%

Wacc = 13.566%

ogan Products computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 40,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period's estimated level of production. The company also estimated $466,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead expenses for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $3.00 per direct labor-hour. Logan's actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $713,400 and its actual total direct labor was 41,000 hours.
Required:
Compute the company's pre-determined overhead rate for the year.

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.65 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated direct labor hour= 40,000

Estimated fixed overhead= $466,000

Variable manufacturing overhead of $3.00 per direct labor-hour.

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= (466,000/40,000) + 3

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.65 per direct labor hour

2. Leah Hutcherson orders merchandise for Rice Lake Company; she also receives merchandise and authorizes payment for merchandise.

3. Several clerks at Great Foods use the same cash register drawer

Answers

Answer:

1. Once a month, the sales department sends sales invoices to the accounting department to be recorded.

⇒ documentation procedures

Unless all of the company's sales take place only once a month, sales should be recorded as soon as possible. Accounting records must be as precise and accurate as possible, and they must be processed on time. Stacking invoices makes no sense, since sales might be on cash or the collection period might be very short. Who holds the money until the sales records are made?

2. Leah Hutcherson orders merchandise for Rice Lake Company; she also receives merchandise and authorizes payment for merchandise.

⇒ segregation of duties

One single person cannot be responsible for the whole process, since this creates a huge opportunity for fraud. Imagine if the person in charge of the inventory is also in charge of making new purchases, paying for them and reporting ending inventory. No company would be able survive one year, while the person in charge would get rich.

3. Several clerks at Great Foods use the same cash register drawer

⇒ establishment of responsibility

If everyone is allowed to collect money, no one can be responsible for any loss.

Answer:Sheridan should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries of =d. $157200

Explanation:

Since there are 5 workdays in a week

we consider First, Workdays Biweekly (Two weeks)

= 5 work days per week X 2 = 10 days  

then the Remaining work  days in 2020 for December 29,30 and 31 = 3 days

Accrued salaries = Recurring biweekly salaries/10 days X 3 days + Overtime pay earned in the 2-week period ended 12/26/20

$444,000/10 days x 3 days   +  $24000  

$133,200 +$24000

Answer:

Growing the country's economy Aiding in the creation of capital formation Managing and mitigating the risks

Explanation:

The Financial system is very important because it helps grow the economy of the country. They do this by creating capital when they transfer funds from those who have it (savers) to those who need it (borrowers). These borrowers will then use it to invest in projects that will grow the economy.

The Financial system also works to manage and mitigate risk because they have experience in such areas and are able to discern which projects to go after to avoid or properly manage risk.

d. E-mail can be an efficient way to communicate, and it makes communicating across time zones much easier.

Explanation

Sentence B is correct because it employs the use of a semicolon to separate two independent clauses. The use of the conjunction, however, helps to separate two sentences that have opposite connotations.

Sentence D is correct because the conjunction, and, was used appropriately to add a second thought to the sentence. The comma was also used correctly as it spliced the sentence and was immediately followed by the conjunction, and.

Chance company had two operating divisions, one manufacturing farm equipment and other office supplies. Both divisions are considered separate components as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. The farm equipment component had been unprofitable, and on Sept. 1, 2016, the company adopted a plan to sell the assets of the division.
The actual sale was completed on Dec. 15, 2016, at the price of $600,000. The book value of the division's assets was $1,000,000, resulting in a before-tax loss of $400,000 on the sale. The division incurred a before-tax operating loss from operations of $130,000 from the beginning of the year through Dec. 15. The income tax rate is 40%. Chances after-tax income from its continuing operations is $350,000.

Pitt Enterprises manufactures jeans. All materials are introduced at the beginning of the manufacturing process in the Cutting Department. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the manufacturing process. As the cutting of material is completed, the pieces are immediately transferred to the Sewing Department. Information for the Cutting Department for the month of May follows.

Work in Process, May 1 (54,000 units, 100% complete for direct materials, 35% complete with respect to conversion costs; includes $78,500 of direct material cost; $42,050 of conversion costs).

Units started in May 233,000
Units completed in May 208,000

Work in Process, May 31 (79,000 units, 100% complete for direct materials; 15% complete for conversion costs).

Costs incurred in May

Direct materials $391,440
Conversion costs $401,900

Required:
If Pitt Enterprises uses the FIFO method of process costing, compute the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs respectively for May.

Answers

Answer:

cost per equivalent unit : materials = $1.37  and conversion costs = $1.78.

Explanation:

Please note that we have to use FIFO costing method

Calculation of the Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials and Conversion Costs

1. Raw Materials

To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 0%)                         0

Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%)                  179,000

Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 100%)                                      79,000

Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials           258,000

1. Conversion Cost

To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 65%)                   35,100

Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%)                  179,000

Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 15%)                                          11,850

Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Conversion       225,950

Calculation of the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs.

Unit Cost = Current Period Costs ÷ Equivalent units of production

1. Raw Materials

Unit Cost = $391,440 ÷ 258,000

                = $1.37

2. Conversion Cost

Unit Cost = $401,900 ÷ 225,950

                = $1.78

A University is offering a charitable gift program. A former student who is now 50 years old is consider the following offer: The student can invest $8,900.00 today and then will be paid a 9.00% APR return starting on his 65th birthday (i.e For a $10,000 investment, a 9% rate would mean $900 per year). The program will pay the cash flow for this investment while you are still alive. You anticipate living 21.00 more years after your 65th birthday. The former student wants a return of 6.00% on his investments, but would like to consider this opportunity.

Required:
Using the student's desired return, what is the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday?

Answers

Answer:

The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.

Explanation:

Since the student's desired return of 6% will also start to be paid starting on his 65th birthday, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can be calculated by first calculating the value of the investment on the 65th birthday.

We therefore proceed with the following two steps:

Step 1: Calculation of the value of the investment on the 65th birthday

The value of the investment on the 65th birthday can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday =?

P = Annuity payment = Invested amount * Student's desired return = $8,900 * 6% = $534

r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06

n = number of more years anticipate to live after 65th birthday = 21

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV at 65 = $534 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.06))^21) / 0.06)

PV at 65 = $534 * 11.764076621288

PV at 65 = $6,282.02

Therefore, the value of the investment on the 65th birthday is $6,282.02.

Step 2: Calculation of the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday

The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can therefore be calculated using the simple present value for as follows:

PV at 50 = PV at 65 / (1 + r)^N …………………………….. (2)

Where;

PV at 50 = the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday = ?

PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday = $6,282.02

r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06

N = number of years from 50th birthday to 65th birthday = 65 - 50 = 15

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / (1 + 0.06)^15

PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / 2.39655819309969

PV at 50 = $2,621.27

Therefore, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.

Cash flows from operations may not be sufficient for a firm to keep up with growth-related financing needs, or the firm may not be able to always generate enough cash flow to maintain a surplus of cash. Firms prefer to borrow now to fulfill their capital requirements through means of short-term financing or long-term financing. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.

The following statement identifies a possible characteristic of short-term financing.

Consider this case:
Short-term loans usually have a lower cost than long-term loans. Identify whether the preceding statement is true or false.

a. This statement is false and a disadvantage of short-term financing.
b. This statement is true and an advantage of short-term financing.

Firms use a variety of short-term financing sources to support working capital. Use the descriptions in the following table to identify the short-term financing source.

Description Short-Term Financing Source
A formal, committed line of credit extended by a bank or other lending institution.

Answer:

1. Consider this case:

Short-term loans usually have a lower cost than long-term loans. Identify whether the preceding statement is true or false.

a. This statement is false and a disadvantage of short-term financing.

2. Identify the short-term financing source:

An obligation backed by collateral, often inventories or accounts receivable.

Explanation:

Some organizations regularly require short-term financing to ease uneven cash flows.  It is also called working capital financing.  Its duration is less than 12 months, unlike long-term financing that can last more than two years.  Most of this financing is arranged with banks in the form of bank overdraft.

At the beginning of the year, Monroe Company estimates annual overhead costs to be $500,000 and that 250,000 machine hours will be operated. Using machine hours as a base, the amount of overhead applied during the year if actual machine hours for the year was 150,000 hours is A.$500,000. B.$300,000. C.$600,000. D.$150,000.

Answers

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $300,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated annual overhead costs= $500,000

Estimated machine-hour= 250,000

Actual machine-hour= 150,000

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= 500,000/250,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 2*150,000= $300,000

connecting u dropped its price from $20 to $16 per gigabyte of data. Joe according to the midpoint formula, Connecting U reduced its price by what percentage?

Answers

Answer:

-$22.2

Explanation:

The computation of price by percentage is shown below:-

Price by percentage = (End price - Beginning price) ÷ (End price - Beginning price) ÷ 2 × 100

= ($16 - $20) ÷ ($16 - $20) ÷ 2 × 100

= -$4 ÷ $18 × 100

= -$400 ÷ $18

= -$22.2

So, we have applied the above formula.

And, the same is to be considered

Connecting u dropped price in percentage is 22.2%

Midpoint formula:

Given that;

Old price = $20

New price = $16

Find:

Connecting u dropped price in percentage

Computation:

[tex]Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{16-20}{\frac{16+20}{2} }]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{16-20}{18}]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{-4}{18}]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=22.2[/tex]
