Answer:
Jack and Jill
a. With a proportional tax of 1 percent on income, it would be enough to pay for the security guard $120.
Jack would pay $ __40___.
Jill would pay $ __80___.
This tax _will____ be enough to pay for the security guard.
b. Based on net benefit from the guard:
Jack would pay $ __43___.
Jill would pay $ _ 77____.
Would both Jack and Jill vote for this scheme? __No___ Jack will feel cheated by Jill in the sum of $3. Jack will likely prefer the 1% based on income.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Value of a security guard for Jack = $50 per month
Value of a security guard for Jill = $90 per month
Total value of a security guard for both Jack and Jill = $140 ($50 + $90)
Cost of hiring a guard = $120 per month
Jack's monthly earnings = $4,000
Jill's monthly earnings = $8,000
Total monthly earnings for both Jack and Jill = $12,000
a. Proportional tax of 1 percent on income = $120 ($12,000 * 1%)
Jack will pay $4,000 * 1% = $40
Jill will pay $8,000 * 1% = $80
Total = $120
b. Net benefit scheme:
Jack will pay $50/$140 * $120 = $43
Jill will pay $90/$140 * $120 = $77
Total = $120

g You have been hired to value a new 25-year callable, convertible bond with a par value of $1,000. The bond has a coupon rate of 6 percent, payable annually. The conversion price is $180 and the stock currently sells for $42.10. The stock price is expected to grow at 10 percent per year. The bond is callable at $1,200; but based on prior experience, it won't be called unless the conversion value is $1,300. The required return on this bond is 8 percent. What value would you assign to this bond
Answer:
The value that would be assigned to this bond is $1,209.36.
Explanation:
From the question, we have:
n = Number of years = 25
FV = Future value = $1,000
PMT = Coupon payment = Coupon rate * FV = 6% * $1000 = $60
r = required return rate = 8%, or 0.08
CP = Conversion price = $180
P = Current selling price = $42.10
t = number of years the bond will be called = ?
PV = [(PMT / r) * (1 - (1 / (1 + r)^n))] + (FV / (1 + r)^n) = [(60 / 0.08) * (1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08)^25))] + (1000 / (1 + 0.08)^25) = $786.50
Therefore, we have:
PV = Current value of the bond = $786.50
CR = Conversion ratio = FV/CP = 1000 / 180
CV = Conversion value = P * CR = $42.10 * (100 / 180) = $23.39
CCP = Current conversion price = CV = $23.39
CPB = Conversion price at which Bond will be called = $1,300
Therefore. we have:
CCP * CR^t = CPB ................... (1)
Substitute relevant values into equation (1) and solve for t, we have:
$23.39 * (1000 / 180)^t = $1,300
23.39 * 5.56^t = 1,300
5.56^t = 1,300 / 23.39
t = ln(1,300 / 23.39) / ln(5.56)
t = 2.34 years
Therefore, we have:
Value assigned to the bond = PV = [(PMT / r) * (1 - (1 / (1 + r)^t))] + (CPB / (1 + r)^t) = [(60 / 0.08) * (1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08)^2.34))] + (1300 / (1 + 0.08)^2.34) = $1,209.36

Explanation:
Perry Investments bought 2,000 shares of Able, Inc. common stock on January 1, 20X1, for $20,000 and 2,000 shares of Baker, Inc. common stock on July 1, 20X1 for $24,000. Baker paid $2,400 of previously declared dividends to Perry on December 31, 20X1. At the end of 20X1, the fair value of the Able stock was $18,000 and the fair value of the Baker stock was $28,000. The stocks were purchased for short-term speculation prior to the effective date of the change in accounting rules for equity investments. Perry owns 10% of each company.
Perry should record the receipt of the Baker dividend as:______
a. DR Cash 2,400 CR Investment in Baker 2,400
b. DR Cash 240 CR Dividend income 240
c. DR Cash 2,400 CR Dividends receivable 2,400
d. DR Dividends receivable 2,400 CR Dividend income 2,400
Answer:
Perry Investments
Perry should record the receipt of the Baker dividend as:______
c. DR Cash 2,400 CR Dividends receivable 2,400
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Investment in Able, Inc common stock = 2,000 on January 1, 20X1, at a cost of $20,000; December 31, 20X1 fair value = $18,000
Investment in Baker, Inc. common stock = 2,000 on July 1, 20X1, at a cost of $24,000; December 31, 20X1 fair value = $28,000.
Baker's previously declared dividends on December 31, 20X1 = $2,400
b) Since Baker declared the dividends previously, Perry must have debited its Dividends Receivable account. Now that payment had been made by Baker, the Dividends Receivable will be credited while the Cash account is debited.
Assume a company is preparing a budget for its first two months of operations. During the first and second months it expects credit sales of $40,000 and $61,000, respectively. The company expects to collect 30% of its credit sales in the month of the sale, 60% in the following month, and 10% is deemed uncollectible. What amount of cash collections from credit sales would the company include in its cash budget for the second month
Answer:
Total cash collection= $42,300
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
First month= $40,000
Second month= $61,000
The company expects to collect 30% of its credit sales in the month of the sale, 60% in the following month.
Cash collection Second month:
Cash collection credit sales from the second month= (61,000*0.3)= 18,300
Cash collection credit sales from the first month= (40,000*0.6)= 24,000
Total cash collection= $42,300

Relevant Range and Fixed and Variable Costs Vogel Inc. manufactures memory chips for electronic toys within a relevant range of 25,000 to 100,000 memory chips per year. Within this range, the following partially completed manufacturing cost schedule has been prepared:
Memory chips produced ...............45,000 60,000 75,000
Total costs:
Total variable costs ................. $1,350,000 (D) (J)
Total fixed costs .................... 810,000 (E) (K)
Total costs .......................... $2,160,000 (F) (L)
Cost per unit:
Variable cost per unit ............... (A) (G) (M)
Fixed cost per unit .................. (B) (H) (N)
Total cost per unit .................. (C) (I) (O)
Required:
Complete the cost schedule. When computing the cost per unit, round to two decimal places.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Relevant range= 25,000 to 100,000
In this range, fixed and variable (unitary) costs remain constant.
To calculate the unitary values, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= Total variable cost / Total number of units
Fixed cost per unit= Total fixed cost / total number of units
Memory chips produced= 45,000
Total variable cost= $1,350,000
Total fixed cost= 810,000
Variable cost per unit= 1,350,000 / 45,000= $30
Fixed cost per unit= 810,000 / 45,000= $18
Total cost per unit= 30 + 18= $48
Memory chips produced= 60,000
Total variable cost= 30*60,000= $1,800,000
Total fixed cost= 810,000
Total cost= $2,610,000
Variable cost per unit= $30
Fixed cost per unit= 810,000 / 60,000= $13.5
Total cost per unit= 30 + 13.5= $43.5
Memory chips produced= 75,000
Total variable cost= 30*75,000= $2,250,000
Total fixed cost= 810,000
Total cost= $3,060,000
Variable cost per unit= $30
Fixed cost per unit= 810,000 / 75,000= $10.8
Total cost per unit= 30 + 10.8= $40.8
When using the cost of production report to analyze the change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit compared to conversion cost per equivalent unit, an investigation may reveal that direct materials costs a.may increase while conversion costs decrease because the two are separately calculated and depend on separate costs. b.will never decrease when conversion costs decrease. c.always increase between periods if conversion costs increase. d.always decrease between periods if conversion costs increase.
Answer: a.may increase while conversion costs decrease because the two are separately calculated and depend on separate costs.
Explanation:
When the cost of production report is being used to analyze change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit when compared to the conversion cost per equivalent unit, we should note that an investigation may end up showing that the fluctuation in the the direct materials costs which then brings about an increase or a decrease.
Therefore, the correct option is A "may increase while conversion costs decrease because the two are separately calculated and depend on separate costs".
A process includes 9 tasks and there are 3 workers. Each task can be assigned to only one worker and each worker must be assigned consecutive tasks.
The time to complete tasks 1 to 9( in seconds) are as follows: 45 55 15 25 50 5 30 95 50
What is the capacity of this process in units per hour?
Answer:
24.8 per hour
Explanation:
There are 3 workers and hence are three workstations. Consecutive activities are assigned to each workstation such that workload is as uniform as possible
Hence the time in each workstation (WS) is,
WS1 = 45+55+15 = 115 seconds
WS2 = 25+50+5+30 = 110 seconds
WS3 = 95+50 = 145 seconds
Workstation 3 has the highest processing time and hence is the bottleneck and determines the capacity of the process
Therefore capacity = 1/145 per second = 3600/145 per hour = 24.8 per hour
There are 3 workers and hence are three workstations. Consecutive activities are assigned to each workstation such that workload is as uniform as possible
Hence, the time in each workstation (WS) is,
WS1 = 45+55+15 = 115 seconds
WS2 = 25+50+5+30 = 110 seconds
WS3 = 95+50 = 145 seconds
Workstation 3 has the highest processing time and hence is the bottleneck and determines the capacity of the process,
Therefore, capacity = 1/145 per second = 3600/145 per hour
= 24.8 per hour
What is capacity?
The capacity is the ability to contain or deal with something. It describes your ability to do something or the amount something can hold.
If your bird cage is at full capacity, you can't stuff one more feathered friend in there without causing birdie claustrophobia.
Thus, the capacity of this process in units per hour is 24.8 per hour

Ten cavemen with a remaining average life expectancy of 10 years use a path from their cave to a spring some distance away. The path is not easily traveled due to 100 large stones that could be removed. The annual benefit to each individual if the stones were removed is $8.25. Each stone can be removed at a cost of $2.50. The interest rate is 2 %.
Required:
a. Compute the benefit/cost ratio for the individual if he alone removed the 100 stones.
b. Compute the benefit/cost ratio for the individual if the task was undertaken collectively, with each individual removing 10 stones.
c. What maximum amount may be charged by a manager who organizes the group effort if the minimum acceptable benefit/cost ratio is 2?
Answer:
a. B/C Ratio = 0.296
b. B/C Ratio = 2.964
c. Y = 12.05 USD will be the maximum amount charged by the manager.
Y = 12.05 x 10 = 120.54 USD for the whole group of 10
Explanation:
Solution:
Data Given:
Number of Individuals = 10
Number of Stones = 100
Life Expectancy = 10 Years
Annual benefit = 8.25 USD
Stone Removal Cost = 2.50 USD
Interest Rate = 2%
a. If all the stones are removed by one individual:
Cost = 100 stones x Stone Removal Cost
Cost = 100 x 2.50 = 250 USD
Now, we have to calculate the Benefit/Cost Ratio for this individual by using the following formula:
B/C Ratio = [tex]\frac{AB (P/A, 2, 10)}{Cost}[/tex]
Where,
AB = Annual Benefit = 8.25 USD
(P/A, 2%, 10) = 8.983 (From the compound interest table)
Cost = 250 USD
B/C Ratio = [tex]\frac{8.25 * 8.983}{250}[/tex]
B/C Ratio = 0.296
b. Each individual removing 10 stones.
Number of individuals = 10
So, the cost of removing the stones will be:
Cost = 10 x 2.50 = 25 USD
So,
B/C Ratio = [tex]\frac{AB (P/A, 2, 10)}{Cost}[/tex]
B/C Ratio = [tex]\frac{8.25 * 8.983}{25}[/tex]
B/C Ratio = 2.964
c.
In this part, we are already given the B/C ratio, now we need to calculate the maximum amount charged by the manager for the help.
B/C ratio = 2
Let, Y be the amount of the manager. So,
B/C Ratio = [tex]\frac{AB (P/A, 2, 10)}{Cost + Y}[/tex]
Plugging in the values and solving for Y:
2 = [tex]\frac{8.25 * 8.983}{25 + Y}[/tex]
50 + 2Y = 8.25 x 8.983
2Y = 74.109 - 50
2Y = 24.109
Y = 24.109/2
Y = 12.05 USD will be the maximum amount charged by the manager.
Y = 12.05 x 10 = 120.54 USD for the whole group of 10

Discuss the tax consequences of the incorporation of the business to Cynthia and to Dove Corporation.
Answer:
Cynthia and Dove CorporationAny profits generated by Dove Corporation will be taxed to the corporation and also taxed to Cynthia as a shareholder whenever Dove distributes the profits as dividends. Taxing Dove and Cynthia creates a double taxation burden for both Dove and Cynthia. Dove Corporation does not get a tax deduction when it distributes dividends to Cynthia. Furthermore, Cynthia cannot deduct any corporation loss when incurred. These are unlike when the business was only a sole proprietorship.

Marvin Industries must choose between an electric-powered and a coal-powered forklift machine for its factory. Because both machines perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The electric-powered machine will cost more, but it will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $102,000, whereas the coal-powered machine will cost $69,500. The cost of capital that applies to both investments is 10%. The life for both types of machines is estimated to be 6 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered machine will be $26,150 per year, and those for the coal-powered machine will be $20,000 per year. Annual net cash flows include depreciation expenses.

Answer:
$11,890
13.89%
$17,605
18.25%
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
The electric-powered machine
Cash flow in year 0 = $-102,000
Cash flow in year 1 to 6 = $26,150
I = 10 %
NPV = $11,890
IRR = 13.89%
the coal-powered machine
Cash flow in year 0 = $-69,500
Cash flow in year 1 to 6 = $20,000
I = 10 %
NPV = $17,605

Med Max buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to dozens of hospitals. In the face of declining profits, Med Max decided to implement an activity-based costing system to improve its understanding of the costs incurred to serve each hospital. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into four activities as shown below:
Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $630,000 7,000 deliveries
Manual order processing (Number of manual orders) 444,000 6,000 orders
Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders) 231,000 11,000 orders
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 955,500 490,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 610,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $2,870,500
Med Max gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—City General and County General:

Explanation:
a. Computation for the activity rate for each activity cost pool
Using this formula
Activity rate = Total cost / Total activity
Let plug in the formula
Activity cost pools Total Cost (a) Total activity (b) Activity rate (a/b)
Customer deliveries $630,000/ 7,000 =$90
Manual order processing $444,000/ 6,000 =$74
Electronic order processing $231,000/ 11,000 =$21
Line item picking $955,500/ 490,000=$1.95
Therefore the activity rate for each activity cost pool are:
Customer deliveries $90
Manual order processing $74
Electronic order processing $21
Line item picking $1.95
b. Computation for the total activity costs that would be assigned to City General and County General
Using this formula

David is trying to decide if it makes sense to outsource the purchasing function. He has a chain of 12 restaurants and employs two buyers at an annual fixed cost of $85,000. David estimates that the variable cost of each purchase order placed is $15. An outsourced company will perform the purchasing function for a fixed annual fee of $100,000 plus $5 for each purchase order placed. Last year, David placed 1400 purchase orders.
Required:
a. What was the in-house purchasing cost last year?
b. What would the cost be if outsourced?
c. If David estimates it will place 1600 purchase orders next year, should he outsourced?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a) The In-house purchasing cost last year is
= Fixed costs + Variable costs
=$85,000 + Total number of purchase orders × cost per order
= $85,000 + 1400 × 15
= $106,000
b)
The outsourcing cost is
Outsourcing cost = Fixed costs +Variable costs
= $100,000 + Total number of purchase orders × cost per order
= $100,000 + 1400 × 5
= $107,000
c) Total number of purchase orders = 1600
In-house purchasing cost = 85,000 + 1600 × $15 = $109000
Outsourcing cost = $100,000 + 1600 × $5 = $108000
Yes, David should outsource as the outsourcing cost is less than the in-house purchasing cost.

Gotham University offers only high-tech graduate-level programs. Gotham has two principal operating departments, Engineering and Computer Sciences, and two support departments, Facility and Technology Maintenance and Enrollment Services. The base used to allocate facility and technology maintenance is budgeted total maintenance hours. The base used to allocate enrollment services is number of credit hours for a department. The Facility and Technology Maintenance budget is $350,000, while the Enrollment Services budget is $950,000. The following chart summarizes budgeted amounts and allocation-base amounts used by each department:
Budget Engineering Computer Sciences F&T Maintenance Enrollment Service
F&T Maintenance hours $350,000 2,000 5,000 zero 1,000
Enrollment Service hours $950,000 24,000 36,000 2,000 zero
Required:
Prepare a schedule showing the support costs allocated to each department.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
First, we need to sort the data given to solve:
Data Given:
F&T Maintenance Hours:
Budget = $350,000
Engineering = 2,000
Computer Sciences = 5,000
F&T Maintenance = zero
Enrollment Service = 1,000
Enrollment Service hours:
Budget = $950,000
Engineering = 24,000
Computer Sciences = 36,000
F&T Maintenance = 2,000
Enrollment Service = zero
To solve this question, we are using the direct method to allocate the support cost.
Schedule to allocate the supporting costs.
F&T maintenance:
For Engineering
$350,000 × 2/7 = $100,000
For Computer Science
$350,000 × 5/7 = $250,000
Enrollment Service:
For Engineering
$950,000 × 24/60 = $380,000
For Computer Science
$950,000 × 36/60 = $570,000
Total:
For Engineering Total = $100,000 + $380,000 = $480,000
For Computer Science Total = $250,000 + $570,000 = $820,000
Clayborn Company deposits all cash receipts on the day they are received and makes all cash payments by check. At the close of business on May 31, its Cash account shows a debit balance of $21,525. Clayborn's May bank statement shows $19,400 on deposit in the bank. Determine the adjusted cash balance using the following information:
Deposit in transit $6,550
Outstanding checks $5,500
Bank service fees, not yet recorded by company $70
A NSF check from a customer, not yet recorded by the company $1,005
The adjusted cash balance should be:
Answer:
$20,450
Explanation:
With regard to the above, the adjusted cash balance would be computer as;
= Bank balance + deposits in transit - outstanding checks
= $19,400 + $6,550 - $5,500
= $20,450
or
= Bank balance - service fees - NSF checks
= $21,525 - $70 - $1,005
= $20,450
