Rush Industries, Inc. builds parts for large automated heavy equipment. The Vice President for Marketing has determined that sales are dwindling for the firm's products because of aggressive pricing by competitors. Rush Industries sells the product for $775 whereas the competition's comparable part is selling in the $650 range. The VP for Marketing has determined that a price drop to $625 is necessary to regain market share and annual sales of 1,200 units. Data based on sales of 1,200 units is as follows:
Budgeted Amount Actual Amount Cost
Direct materials (sheet metal) 8,000 sq.ft. 10,000 sq.ft. $9.66 per sq.ft.
Direct labor 4,800 hrs. 5,000 hrs. $33.60 per hour
Machine setups 2,600 hrs. 2,800 hrs. $42.00 per hour
Mechanical assembly 3,200 hrs. 3,600 hrs. $34.00 per hour
Required:
1. The current cost per unit is ___________.
Answer:
The current cost per unit is $ 420.50
Explanation:
The current cost per unit is synonymous with the actual cost per unit which is determined by summing up all costs incurred in actual sense and dividing by the sales volume of 1,200 units
direct materials =10,000*$9.66=$ 96,600
direct labor=5,000*$33.60 =$ 168,000
machine set-ups=2,800*$42 =$ 117,600
mechanical assembly=3,600*$34=$122,400
total actual costs =$ 504,600
cost per unit=total costs/sales volume=$ 504,600/1200=$ 420.50
Using budgeted figures would only give us budgeted cost per unit

3) SNG's stock is selling for $15 per share. The firm's income, assets, and stock price have been growing at an annual 15% rate and are expected to continue to grow at this rate for 3 more years. No dividends have been declared as yet, but the firm intends to declare a $2.00 dividend at the end of the last year of its supernormal growth. After that, dividends are expected to grow at the firm's normal growth rate of 6%. The firm's required rate of return is 18%. You should:
Answer:
Since the current stock's price should be $11.97, then the stock is overpriced, so you should not buy it.
Explanation:
if we use the dividend growth model to determine the intrinsic stock price:
Div₃ = $2.00
Div₄ = $2.12 (6% growth rate)
using the dividend growth model we can determine the terminal price of the stock in year 3
P₃ = $2.12 / (18% - 6%) = $17.67
terminal price in year 3 = $2 + $17.67 = $19.67
to determine the present value of the stock we must discount the future value by 18%:
present value = $19.67 / (1 + r)ⁿ = $19.67 / 1.18³ = $11.97
Since the current stock's price should be $11.97, then the stock is overpriced.

Explanation:
On August 1, 2007 the Dell Computer Corporation's stock closed trading at $ 27.76 per share while Apple Corporation's shares closed at $ 133.64. Does this mean that because Apple's stock price is roughly four times that of Dell's, Apple is the more valuable company? Interpret the prices for these two firms using the information found here:
(Most recent 12 months) Dell 2007 Apple 2007
Net Income ($ millions) $3,572 $3,130
Shares outstanding (millions) 2300 869.16
Earnings per share ($) $1.55 $3.60
Price per share (8/1/07) $27.76 $133.64
Price-to-earnings ratio (PE ratio) 17.91 37.11
Book value of common equity ($ millions) $4,129 $9,984
Book value per share ($) $1.80 $11.49
Market-to-book ratio 15.42 11.63
It appears that Apple enjoys a (lower or higher) price per share when compared to its 2007 earnings but a (lower or higher) price when compared to the book value of the firm's equity. The (higher or lower) market-to-book ratio for Apple reflects that fact that Apple has used a great deal (less or more) equity and (more or less) debt to finance its operations.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
It appears that Apple enjoys a (higher) price per share when compared to its 2007 earnings but a (lower) price when compared to the book value of the firm's equity. The (lower) market-to-book ratio for Apple reflects the fact that Apple has used a great deal (more) equity and (less) debt to finance its operations.
Apple will enjoy a higher price per share because Apple Corporation's shares closed at $ 133.64 while Dell Computer Corporation's stock closed trading at $ 27.76 per share. Also, the lower market-to-book ratio for Apple of $11.63 compared to Dell's market to book ratio of $15.42 shows that Apple used more of equity and less debt for its business.
Porter Resources Company acquired a tract of land containing an extractable natural resource. Porter is required by its purchase contract to restore the land to a condition suitable for recreational use after it has extracted the natural resource. Geological surveys estimate that the recoverable reserves will be 2,000,000 tons, and that the land will have a value of $1,000,000 after restoration. Relevant cost information follows:
Land $7,500,000
Estimated restoration costs 1,500,000
If Porter maintains no inventories of extracted material, what should be the charge to depletion expense per ton of extracted material?
Answer:
A. $4
Explanation:
The computation of amount of depletion per ton is shown below:-
Depletion per ton = (Acquisition cost of land + Estimated restoration costs- Salvage value) ÷ Tons of recoverable reserves
= ($7,500,000 + $1,500,000 - $1,000,000) ÷ 2,000,000 tons
= (9,000,000 - $1,000,000) ÷ 2,000,000 tons
= $8,000,000 ÷ 2,000,000 tons
= $4
Therefore for computing the depletion per ton we simply applied the above formula.
Prepare the issuer's journal entry for each of the following separate transactions.
A. On March 1, Atlantic Co. issues 45,000 shares of $3 par value common stock for $305,000 cash.
B. On April 1, OP Co. issues no-par value common stock for $75,000 cash.
C. On April 6, MPG issues 2,500 shares of $25 par value common stock for $44,000 of inventory, $160,000 of machinery, and acceptance of a $94,000 note payable.
Answer:
Double entry is given in the explanation.
Explanation:
Part A. The common stock is always recorded at par which is $3 per share here and the Capital Paid In is the remainder amount which is calculated as under:
Capital Paid In = Cash Received - Common Stock
Here,
Capital Received is $305,000
Capital Stock = 45,000 shares * $3 par value = $135,000
By putting the values, we have:
Capital Paid In = $305,000 - $135,000 = $170,000
Double Entry would be:
Dr Cash $305,000
Cr Common Stock $135,000
Cr Capital Paid In $170,000
Part B. The common stock of the stocks that are issued at no par value is always recorded at money received which means there is no capital paid-in.
Double Entry would be:
Dr Cash $75,000
Cr Common Stock $75,000
Part C. The inventory received is worth $44,000 which would be debited to inventory account. In exchange of inventory $44,000 and machinery worth $160,000 (Machinery will also be debited), 2500 shares having $25 par value (common stock will be credited at par and the excess of par would be capital paid-in) and $94,000 note payables were issued (Note payable would be credited at $94,000).
Double Entry would be:
Dr Inventory $44,000
Dr Machinery $160,000
Cr Note Payable $94,000
Cr Common Stock (2000 * $25) $50,000
Cr Capital Paid In (Balancing Figure) $60,000

a. Two years ago your firm took out a 30- year amortizing loan to purchase a small office building. The loan has a 4.80% APR with monthly payments of $2623.33.
i. How much do you owe on the loan today? (4 points)
ii. How much interest did the firm pay on the loan in the past year? (5 points)
iii. Suppose starting next year (fourth year) the loan rate jumps to 7.2% APR. What is the remaining balance? What will be the monthly payment? (6 points)
Answer:
i. How much do you owe on the loan today?
remaining principal balance = $484,331.31ii. How much interest did the firm pay on the loan in the past year?
during year 2, $23,458 was paid in interests ($28,833.33 was paid in interest during year 1).iii. Suppose starting next year (fourth year) the loan rate jumps to 7.2% APR. What is the remaining balance? What will be the monthly payment?
the remaining balance at the beginning of year 4 is $475,916the new monthly payment will be $3,375.72Explanation:
I prepared two amortization schedules using an excel spreadsheet. The principal on the loan was $500,000. The first one has a fixed 4.8% APR for the whole 30 years. In the second one, the APR changes to 7.2% at the beginning of year 4.
A company purchased a 3-acre tract of land for a building site for $450,000. The company demolished the old building at a cost of $22,000, but was able to sell scrap from the building for $2,500. The cost of title transfer was $1,400 and attorney fees for reviewing the contract was $700. Property taxes paid were $8,000, of which $750 covered the period after the purchase date. The capitalized cost of the land is: Multiple Choice $345,350. $478,850. $480,350. $480,600.
Answer:
$478,850
Explanation:
The computation of capitalized cost of the land is shown below:-
Capitalized cost of the land = Purchase cost + Demolition of old building + Cost of Title insurance + Attorney fees + Property taxes paid - Scrap value of the building
= $450,000 + $22,000 + $1,400 + $700 + ($8,000 - $750) - $2,500
= $450,000 + $22,000 + $1,400 + $700 + $7,250 - $2,500
= $481,350 - $2,500
= $478,850
So, for computing the capitalized cost of the land we simply applied the above formula.
Discuss the different roles played by the qualitative and quantitative approaches to managerial decision making. Why is it important for a manager or decision maker to have a good understanding of both of these approaches to decision making? Give an example of when the qualitative approach might be more appropriate and another example of when the quantitative approach might be more appropriate.
Explanation:
Regarding the management decision-making process, there are two different approaches that the manager must know and know how to use in certain situations.
The qualitative approach is one that is based on experimental knowledge of various factors involved in decision making, such as interpersonal connections that occur in the work environment, in this approach it is necessary that the manager has an intuition and accurate perception of the organization as a whole before making an important decision
The quantitative approach is one that uses mathematical statistics for decision making, generally works best for solving measurable problems, and for this reason can be used by a manager without much direct experience.
The qualitative approach may be more appropriate in a situation where a manager needs to solve problems related to situations of conflict between organizational departments, because in this scenario it is necessary to have knowledge of factors that generate the complex interaction between people.
The quantitative approach can be more useful in a scenario where it needs to analyze which are the most profitable departments in the organization and what is the probability of each department generating profits in the company, because in this case accounting data are used to support decision making.
Clipper Company sells two types of nail clippers. One focuses on the economy oriented customer and the other aims to satisfy the high-end clientele. The economy clipper costs $5 and has a sales price of $9. The high-end model costs $9 and sales for $15. Fixed costs associated with this product line amount to $35,880. Economy clippers constitute 70 percent of the market with the remaining 30 percent being high-end clippers. Based on this information what is the total number of clippers that must be sold to earn a $12,420 profit
Answer:
10,500
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of the total number of clippers is provided below:-
Here we will assume the sales = x
((Economy clippers × Sales price) - (Economy clippers × Economy clipper cost)) + ((Remaining percentage × Sales) - (Remaining percentage × High end model cost) - Fixedd cost = Profit
= ((0.70x × $9) - (0.70x × $5)) + ((0.30x × $15) - (0.30x × $9)) - $35,880 = $12,420
= (6.3x - 3.5x) + (4.5x - 2.7x) = $35,880 + $12,420
= (2.8x + $1.8x) = $48,300
= 4.6x = $48300
x = $48,300 ÷ 4.6
x = $10,500
So, the total number of clippers that must be sold to earn a $12,420 profit = 10,500 clippers
Economy clippers is 70% of the market = 10,500 × 70%
= 7,350 clipper
High-end clippers is 30% of the market = 10500 × 30%
= 3,150 clipper
So, the total number of clippers = 7,350 clipper + 3,150 clipper
= 10,500 clippers

Sage Company is operating at 90% of capacity and is currently purchasing a part used in its manufacturing operations for $14.00 per unit. The unit cost for the business to make the part is $20.00, including fixed costs, and $12.00, not including fixed costs. If 38,493 units of the part are normally purchased during the year but could be manufactured using unused capacity, the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it would be a
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be "$76,986".
Explanation:
Although the organization is reportedly going to pay $14.00 per unit, even before manufactured throughout the corporation, cost and save per unit will become the variation among current value as well as production costs without set rate. The cost of operating expenses will not be included to measure the gain because the idle resources of the company would be included and would not raise the fixed costs.
Therefore the cost differential would be as follows:
⇒ [tex]Differential \ cost = (Current \ purchasing \ price-Manufacturing \ cost \ excluding \ fixed \ cost)\times 38,493[/tex]On putting the values in the above formula, we get
⇒ [tex]=(14-12)\times 38,493[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=2\times 38,493[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=76,986[/tex]

Environmental recovery company RexChem Partners plans to finance a site reclamation project that will require a 4-year cleanup period. If the company borrows $4.1 million now, how much will the company have to get at the end of each quarter in order to earn 15% per year, compounded weekly on its investment?
Answer:
728,839.57883 per quarter.
Explanation:
1. Effective Annual Rate = 10%
Effective rate continuously compounded = eln(1+r) - 1
ln(1.1) = 0.09531018
Montly rate = 0.09531018/12 = 0.07942515
e0.07942515 -1 = 0.00797414
Hence, monthly continuous rate =
0.797414%
2. Effective Quarterly rate
= (1+(Rate per year/52))Number of weeks
=(1+Rate per quarter)4,
(1+(0.15/52))208=(1+r)4,
r = 16.1583394% per quarter
Now, using the PMT function in excel,
=PMT(16.1583394%,16,-4100000)
728,839.57883
per quarter
Therefore In order to earn 15% per year compounded weekly on its investment at the end of each quarter, the company will have to get $728,839.57883

DR Bond Interest Expense $18,284
DR Premium on Bonds Payable $1,966
CR Cash $20,250
(To record Payment of Bond Interest)
Workings
Cash
Semi Annual Payment of Interest means that the interest rate of 9% which is annual will be split into 2 to make it 4.5% to make it semi annual.
= 450,000 * 4.5%
= $20,250
Premium on Bonds Payable
The straight-line bond amortization method means that a Bond's Discount or Premium amount will be amortized in equal proportions for the duration of the bond's life.
Seeing as there are semi annual payments, the Premium will be amortized semi-annually.
There are 3 years so semi-annually would be,
= 3 * 2
= 6 periods.
Semi- Annual Bond Amortization for the premium is therefore,
= 11,795/6
= $1,966
Bond Interest Expense
= Cash - Premium on Bonds Payable
= 20,250 - 1,966
= $18,284
Carla Vista Choice sells natural supplements to customers with an unconditional sales return if they are not satisfied. The sales returns period extends 60 days.

The journal entry to record the actual return of $200 of merchandise includes a:______
Answer:
debit to Returned Inventory for $100
Explanation:
The Journal entry is following below:
1. Sales Returns & Allowance Dr, $200
To Account Receivable $200
(Being sales return is recorded)
Here, we debited the sales return and allowances as it is return and we credited the accounts receivable as it reduces the assets.
2. Returned Inventory Dr, $100
To Cost of Goods Sold $100
(Being returned Inventory is recorded)
Here, we debited the returned inventory as it is return while we credited the cost of goods sold as the expenses is reduced.
Working note
Returned inventory = Actual return × Cost ÷ Customer purchase
= $200 × $1,750 ÷ $3,500
= $200 × 0.5
= $100
The Gecko Company and the Gordon Company are two firms whose business risk is the same but that have different dividend policies. Gecko pays no dividend, whereas Gordon has an expected dividend yield of 5 percent. Suppose the capital gains tax rate is zero, whereas the income tax rate is 25 percent. Gecko has an expected earnings growth rate of 8 percent annually, and its stock price is expected to grow at this same rate.Required:If the aftertax expected returns on the two stocks are equal (because they are in the same risk class), what is the pretax required return on Gordon’s stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)Pretax return %
Answer:
10.67%
Explanation:
Gecko Company
Gecko = Expected Earnings growth rate = 8% annually
As there are no Capital gains tax, thus after Tax returns = Pretax returns
= 8%
Expected Dividend yield of Gordon = 5%
After tax returns = 5(1-.25)
=5(0.75)
= 3.75%
Assuming the pay out ratio = 100%
Gordon’s required pretax return = 8/ (1-.25)
=8/0.75
= 10.67%
At pretax return of 10.67% on Gordon the after tax returns on both the stocks are equal.

A. Without considering the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, income statement approach, 1% of total sales.
B. Without considering the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, income statement approach, 1.5% of credit sales.
C. Considering the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, balance sheet approach. The estimate based on an aging of accounts receivable is that an allowance of $12,000 would be appropriate.
Answer and Explanation:
The computations and the journal entries are as follows
A. Uncollectible account expense is
= Given percentage × total sales
= 1% × $1,152,000
= $11,520
The journal entry is
Uncollectable Expense Dr $11,520
To Allowance for doubtful accounts $11,520
(Being the uncollectible expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the uncollectable expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the assets
B. Uncollectible account expense is
= Given percentage × credit sales
= 1.5% × $1,152,000 × 75%
= $12,960
The journal entry is
Uncollectable Expense Dr $12,960
To Allowance for doubtful accounts $12,960
(Being the uncollectible expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the uncollectable expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the assets
C. Uncollectible account expense is
= Appropriate Allowance - credit balance of allowance for doubtful debts
= $12,000 - $2,184
= $9,816
The journal entry is
Uncollectable Expense Dr $9,816
To Allowance for doubtful accounts $9,816
(Being the uncollectible expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the uncollectable expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the assets
FX Services granted 15.5 million of its $1 par common shares to executives, subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within four years. The common shares have a market price of $8 per share on the grant date. Ignoring taxes, what is the effect on earnings in the year after the shares are granted to executives? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
$31 million
Explanation:
No of shares = 15.5 million
Market price per share on grant date = $8
Market value of common shares = 15.5 * 10⁶ * 8
= $124 million
No of years = 4
Cost per year = ($124 * 10⁶) / 4
= $31 million

Explanation:
Note is a promissory note with a written promise made by the borrower to the lender (payee) to pay a certain, definite sum at a specified date.
Interest expense on the notes is calculated as: Principal x Interest Rate x Time
Nov. 1: In this case, the total interest revenue is: $63,600 x 9%/12 x 12 months = $5,724.
Interest expense as at December 31 is therefore $5,724 / 12 x 2 = $954.
Dec. 11: Total interest revenue is: $5,400 x 8%/12 x 3 months = $108.
Interest expense as at December 31 is therefore $108 / 90 days x 19 days = $23.
Dec. 16: Total interest revenue is: $14,400 x 6%/12 x 6 months = $432.
Interest expense as at December 31 is therefore $432 / 180 days x 14 days = $34.

The entry required to close the revenue and expense accounts at the end of the period includes a:
a) credit to Retained Earnings for $4,780.
b) credit to Retained Earnings for $38,300.
c) debit to Retained Earnings for $4,780.
d) debit to Retained Earnings for $38,300.
Answer:
A) credit to Retained Earnings for $4,780.
Explanation:
Temporary accounts (includes all revenues and expenses) must be closed against the income summary account. Then the income summary account is closed against retained earnings, and depending on whether the company made a profit or not, the retained earnings account will be debited or credited.
In this case, the net income after taxes is $4,780, so that means that retained earnings will increase (should be credited), so the closing journal entry should be:
Dr Income summary 4,780
Cr Retained earnings 4,780
Rental Revenue 37,000
Service Revenue 1,300
Wages Expense (19,000 )
Depreciation Expense (1,800 )
