Answer:
South Charleston Plant of Ravinia, Inc.
1. Cost behavior formula:
Forklift depreciation = $1,600 + $0q
Indirect labor = $43,000 + $6.20q
Fuel and oil for forklift = $3,550 + $0.71 (q - 5,000)
2. Cost of each item for an activity output level of 8,000 moves:
Forklift depreciation = $1,600
Indirect labor = $92,600
Fuel and oil for forklift = $5,680
3. Total cost formula = $48,150 + $6.47q
Materials handling cost = $99,880
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Resource Number of Moves Total Cost
Forklift depreciation:
Low 5,000 $1,600
High 15,000 1,600
Indirect labor:
Low 5,000 $74,000
High 15,000 136,000
Fuel and oil for forklift:
Low 5,000 $3,550
High 15,000 10,650
Cost behavior formula for each resource:
Forklift depreciation:
Low 5,000 $1,600
High 15,000 1,600
Difference 10,000 $0
Variable cost per unit = $0 ($0/10,000)
Fixed cost = $1,600
Cost behavior formula = $1,600 + $0q
Indirect labor:
Low 5,000 $74,000
High 15,000 136,000
Difference 10,000 62,000
Variable cost per unit = $6.20 ($62,000/10,000)
Fixed cost = $43,000 ($74,000 - ($6.20*5,000))
Cost behavior formula = $43,000 + $6.20q
Fuel and oil for forklift:
Low 5,000 $3,550
High 15,000 10,650
Difference 10,000 $7,100
Variable cost per unit = $0.71 ($7,100/10,000)
Fixed cost = $3,550 ($3,0 - ($0.71 * (15,000 - 5,000))
Step cost
Cost behavior formula = $3,550 + $0.71 (q - 5,000)
Forklift depreciation = $1,600 + $0 * 8,000 = $1,600
Indirect labor = $43,000 + $6.20 * 8,000 = $92,600
Fuel and oil for forklift = $3,550 + $0.71 (8,000 - 5,000) = $5,680
Total cost formula: Fixed + Variable
Forklift depreciation = $1,600 + $0 * 8,000 = $1,600
Indirect labor = $43,000 + $6.20 * 8,000 = $92,600
Fuel and oil for forklift = $3,550 + $0.71 (8,000 - 5,000) = $5,680
$48,150 + $51,730 = $99,880
= $48,150 + $6.47q ($51,730/8,000)
Materials handling cost = ($1600 + $43000) + ($6.20 + $0.71) X
= $44600 + $6.91 X
Y = $44600 + ($6.91 x 8000)
= $44600 + $55280
= $99880
Suppose a company owns a warehouse that costs $500,000 and depreciates at $10,000 per year. If the interest rate is 5%, what is the implicit rental price of the warehouse
Answer: $35,000
Explanation:
Implicit rental price = Interest payment + Depreciation
Interest payment = 5% * 500,000
= $25,000
Implicit rental price is therefore:
= 25,000 + 10,000
= $35,000
1. Inventory that consists of the costs of the direct and indirect materials that have not yet entered the manufacturing process is known as ________. work in process inventory materials inventory finished goods inventory None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
materials inventory
Explanation:
An inventory is a term used to describe a list of finished goods, goods still in the production line and raw materials that would be used for the manufacturing of more goods in a bid to meet the unending consumer demands.
Basically, an inventory can be classified into three (3) main categories and these are; finished goods, work in progress, and raw materials.
An inventory is recorded as a current asset on the balance sheet because it's primarily the most important source of revenue for a business entity.
Generally, the three (3) main cost concept associated with an inventory include;
1. First In First Out (FIFO).
2. Last In First Out (LIFO).
3. Weighted average cost.
In Financial accounting, direct cost can be defined as any expense which can easily be connected to a specific cost object such as a department, project or product. Some examples of direct costs are cost of raw materials, machineries or equipments.
On the other hand, any cost associated with the running, operations and maintenance of a company refers to indirect costs. Some examples of indirect costs are utility bill, office accessories, diesel etc.
Materials inventory can be defined as an inventory that comprises of direct and indirect materials costs which have not been used in a manufacturing process.
An increase in the price of rubber coincides with an advance in the technology of tire production. As a result of these two events,a. the demand for tires decreases and the supply of tires increases.b. the demand for tires is unaffected and the supply of tires decreases.c. the demand for tires is unaffected and the supply of tires increases.d. None of the above is necessarily correct. What should be the demand and supply?
Answer:
d
the demand for tires is unaffected and effect on the supply of tires could increase, decrease, or stay the same.
Explanation:
An increase in the price of rubber would lead to an increase in the cost of producing tires. Rubber is an input required in the production of tires.
As a result of the increase in the cost of rubber, the supply of rubber would decrease. This would lead to a leftward shift of the supply curve. Equilibrium price would increase and quantity would decrease
As a result of the advance in technology, there would be an increase in the supply of tires. As a result, the supply curve shifts outward. Equilibrium price would decrease and quantity would increase
Taking these wo effects together, the demand for tires is unaffected and effect on the supply of tire is indeterminate
Mustang Corporation reports the following for the month of April:Finished goods inventory, April 1$32,600 Finished goods inventory, April 30 26,600 Total cost of goods manufactured 123,800The cost of goods sold for April is:a. $61,900.b. $124,500.c. $112,900.d. $173,700.e. $150,000
Answer:
COGS= $129,800
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Finished goods inventory, April 1$32,600
Finished goods inventory, April 30 26,600
Total cost of goods manufactured 123,800
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 32,600 + 123,800 - 26,600
COGS= $129,800
On January 2 Kelly company performed $800 worth of services for a client. The client paid $100 immediately, but promised to pay the balance next month. The journal entry to record this transaction in Calley company's books would include a _____ to the cash account; a _____ to the accounts receivable account and a _____ to the service revenue account.
Answer:
$100, $700, $800
Explanation:
Calley Journal entries would include:
Debiting $100 to the cash account
Debit the $700 to the receivables account
Credit $800 to the revenue account
This follows the double entry rule that a credit in one account must correspond to at least one debit in another account.
We debit all asset accounts(receivables,cash) when increased and credit all liabilities account when increased. We credit all income account(revenue) when increased and debit all expenses account when increased.
Answer:
Date Account Title Debit Credit
Jan, 2 Cash $100
Accounts Receivable $700
Service revenue $800
$100 will be debited to Cash to show that $100 was received. The rest of the bill will go to the Accounts Receivables to shows that it is still owed. Then finally the entire $800 will go to Service revenue to show that services were performed for a client up to $800 worth.
Amazon Corporation has preferred stock outstanding that pays a $11.45 annual dividend. It price is $147. What is the required rate of return (yield) on the preferred stock?
Answer:
7.79%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the required rate of return (yield) on the preferred stock
Using this formula
Cost of preferred stock=Annual Dividend per share/Current price of preferred stock
Let plug in the formula
Cost of preferred stock=$11.45/$147
Cost of preferred stock=0.0779*100
Cost of preferred stock=7.79%
Therefore the required rate of return (yield) on the preferred stock is 7.79%
A 3-year bond with 10% coupon rate and $1,000 face value yields 8% yield to maturity. Assuming annual coupon payment, calculate the price of the bond.
Answer: $1051.51
Explanation:
Coupon rate = 10%
Face value = $1,000
Yield to maturity = 8%
Annual coupon will be:
= Face value × Coupon rate
= 1000 × 10%
= 100
Therefore, the price of bond will be:
= Annual coupon × Present value of annuity factor + $1000 × Present value of the discounting factor
= (100 × 2.5771) + (1000*0.7938)
= 257.71 + 793.8
= $1051.51
The price of the bond is $1051.51
Moody Farms just paid a dividend of $3.95 on its stock. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be a constant 5 percent per year indefinitely. Investors require a return of 14 percent for the first three years, a return of 12 percent for the next three years, and a return of 10 percent thereafter. What is the current share price
Answer:
$81.52
Explanation:
The current share price is the present value of future dividends as well as the present value of the terminal value of dividends beyond year 6 as shown thus:
Current dividend=$3.95
Year 1 dividend=$3.95*(1+5%)=$4.15
Year 2 dividend=$4.15*(1+5%)=$4.36
Year 3 dividend=$4.36*(1+5%)=$4.58
The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the FIRST 3 years above is 14%
Year 4 dividend=$4.58*(1+5%)=$4.81
Year 5 dividend=$4.81*(1+5%)=$5.05
Year 6 dividend=$5.05*(1+5%)=$5.30
The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the NEXT 3 years above is 12%
Terminal value of dividend=Year 6 dividend*(1+growth rate)/(rate of return-growth rate)
growth rate=5%
rate of return=10%(rate of return thereafter)
terminal value=$5.30*(1+5%)/(10%-5%)
terminal value=$111.30
current share price=$4.15/(1+14%)+$4.36/(1+14%)^2+$4.58/(1+14%)^3+$4.81/(1+12%)^4+$5.05/(1+12%)^5+$5.30/(1+12%)^6+$111.30/(1+10%)^6
current share price=$81.52
Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 8% if it was operated as an independent company. Division H is the company’s high-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 14% if it was operated as an independent company. Because the two divisions are the same size, the company has a composite weighted average cost of capital of 11%. Division H is considering a project with an expected return of 12%. Should Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) accept or reject the project?
Answer:
Lancashire Railway Company (LRC)
Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) should reject the project. The basis for rejecting Division H's project is that its return (12%) is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division (14%).
Explanation:
a) Data:
Division L's weighted-average cost of capital = 8%
Division H's weighted-average cost of capital = 14%
Weight of Division L = 50%
Weight of Division H = 50%
Company composite weighted average cost of capital = 11% (8% * 50%) + (14% * 50%)
Expected return from a proposed project for Division H = 12%

Which of the following does not dilute the value of collecting opinions from a number of people (e.g., regarding a performance evaluation or hiring decision)?
A. They have discussed the matter with each other.
B. They evaluated the same materials.
C. They have discussed the matter with the same people.
D. They have similar backgrounds.
Answer:
The correct answer is A:
They have discussed the matter with each other.
Explanation:
The objective of collecting opinions from a number of people with regard to a particular subject such as performance evaluation or a hiring decision is to ensure that via the consideration of heterogeneous perspectives, the best decision is arrived at.
The very nature of collecting opinions from people who are most likely to view the subject from different unique perspectives requires that the subject be discussed. Hence, Option A cannot be a diluting factor.

Warren Enterprises expects 20,000 unit sales, has ordering costs of $20 per order, carrying costs of $1.00 per unit, and desires to keep 100 units in safety stock. Assuming level production, what should be their average inventory? a. 200-300 b. 301-400 c. 401-500 d. 501-600
Answer:
Option d (501-600) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Given:
Unit sales,
= 20,000
Ordering costs,
= $20
Carrying costs,
= $1
Safety stocks,
= 100
Now,
The EOQ will be:
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times Unit \ sales\times Ordering costs}{Carrying \ costs} }[/tex]
By putting the values, we get
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times 20000\times 20}{1} }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{800000}[/tex]
= [tex]894.43 \ units[/tex]
hence,
The average inventory will be:
= [tex][Safety \ stock +(\frac{EOQ}{2} )][/tex]
= [tex][100+(\frac{894.43}{2} )][/tex]
= [tex][100+447.21][/tex]
= [tex]547.21[/tex] (lies between 501-600)
Thus the above is the correct response.
How much would you have had to invest now in an account paying 8% / year to to have $20,000 in 21 years
Answer:
PV= $3,978.115
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Interest rate (i)= 8% = 0.08
Future value (FV)= $20,000
Number of periods (n)= 21 years
To calculate the lump-sum to be invested today, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 20,000 / (1.08^21)
PV= $3,978.115

A company had cash sales of $49,527, credit sales of $38,540, sales returns and allowances of $7,100 and sales discounts of $4,375. The company's net sales for this period equals what? (I added cash sales and credit sales. Then I subtracted sales returns and allowances and sales discounts. Not sure if my calculations are correct.) Please explain your answers.
Answer:
The company's net sales for this period equal to $76,592
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the total sales using the following formula
Total Sales = Cash Sales + Credit sales
Where
Cash Sales = $49,527
Credit sales = $38,540
Placing values in the formula
Total Sales = $49,527 + $38,540
Total Sales = $88,067
Now use the following formula to calculate the net sales
Net Sales = Total Sales - Sales returns and allowances - Sales discount
Where
Total Sales = $88,067
Sales returns and allowances = $7,100
Sales discount = $4,375
Placing values in the formula
Net Sales = $88,067 - $7,100 - $4,375
Net Sales = $76,592
Pearson Electric Company uses the high-low method to analyze mixed costs. The following information relates to the production data for the first six months of the year.
Month Cost(Y) Hours(H)
January $8,050 335
February $9,750 780
March $8,040 460
April $8,110 380
May $10,210 1,055
June $9,510 755
What is the estimated total cost at an operating level of 1,180 hours, using the high-low method? (Round variable cost per unit to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the variable and fixed costs:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (10,210 - 8,050) / (1,055 - 335)
Variable cost per unit= $3
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 10,210 - (3*1,055)
Fixed costs= $7,045
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 8,050 - (3*335)
Fixed costs= $7,045
Now, the total cost for 1,180 hours:
Total cost= 7,045 + 3*1,180
Total cost= $10,585
A firm's year-end price on its common stock is $55. The firm has a profit margin of 6 percent, total assets of $75 million, a total asset turnover ratio of 0.9, no preferred stock, and 2.5 million shares of common stock outstanding. Calculate the PE ratio for the firm.
Answer:
34
Explanation:
Price/Earning ratio (PE) = Price per Share ÷ Earnings per share
where,
Earnings per share = Net Income ÷ Number of Common Stock Outstanding
= (0.9 x $75 million x 0.06) ÷ 2.5 million shares
= 1.62
therefore,
Price/Earning ratio (PE) = $55 ÷ $1.62 = 33.95 or 34
The Bretton Woods system ended when: A. several countries tied the value of their currencies to the U.S. dollar.
B. the United States decided to stop backing the U.S. dollar with gold reserves C. the United States experienced its second Industrial Revolution
D. the gold standard became more popular in countries around the world
Answer:
B
Explanation:
There is no other answer but B. That was Nixon's doing. He took the American dollar off the Gold system. Gold in 1980 eventually went from 35 dollars to 800 which is a stupendous move. Many people, unfortunately for them, bought at the top and it took 31 years (I think) for them to recover their money.
Answer:
B

The current price of an annual coupon bond is 100. The derivative of the price of the bond with respect to the yield to maturity is -700.The yield to maturity is an annual effective rate of 8%. Calculate the duration of the bond.
Answer:
The duration of the bond = 7.56 years
Explanation:
Given the current price = 100
DM = -1 x Current derivative price / Current price
DM = (-1 x -$700 / $100)
DM = 7

The net profit margin ratio can mathematically be broken down as:______.
a. Tax impact x Capital structure impact x Net Profit / Sales
b. Tax impact x Capital structure impact x EBITDA / Sales
c. Tax impact x Capital structure impact x Gross Profit / Sales
d. Tax impact x Capital structure impact x EBIT / Sales

Therefore the option d is correct
Neptune Company produces toys and other items for use in beach and resort areas. A small, inflatable toy has come onto the market that the company is anxious to produce and sell. The new toy will sell for $3.30 per unit. Enough capacity exists in the company’s plant to produce 30,200 units of the toy each month. Variable expenses to manufacture and sell one unit would be $2.08, and fixed expenses associated with the toy would total $54,766 per month. The company's Marketing Department predicts that demand for the new toy will exceed the 30,200 units that the company is able to produce. Additional manufacturing space can be rented from another company at a fixed expense of $2,738 per month. Variable expenses in the rented facility would total $2.31 per unit, due to somewhat less efficient operations than in the main plant.
Required:
1. What is the monthly break-even point for the new toy in unit sales and dollar sales?
2. How many units must be sold each month to attain a target profit of $12,474 per month?
3. If the sales manager receives a bonus of 20 cents for each unit sold in excess of the break-even point, how many units must be sold each month to attain a target profit that equals a 29% return on the monthly investment in fixed expenses?
Answer:
1) Break-even point in unit sales: 51,680 units
Break-even point in dollar sales: $144,704
2) The units that must be sold each month to attain a target profit of $12,474 per month are:
= 63,669 units
3) The units that must be sold each month to attain a target profit that equals a 29% return on the monthly investment in fixed expenses are:
= 108,574 units
Explanation:
1. On the first 30,200 units
Sales price $3.30
Variable expenses $2.08
Contribution margin $1.22
Above 30,200 units
Sales price $3.30
Variable expenses $2.31
Contribution margin $0.99
Fixed cost for initial 30,200 units = $54,766
Less: Contribution Margin (30,200 units * $1.22) + $36,844
Remaining uncovered cost = $17,922 ($54,766 - $36,844)
Monthly rental for additional space = $2,738
Total fixed costs covered by remaining sales = $20,660 ($17,922 + $2,738)
Required units = $20,660 / 0.99 = 20,869 units
Breakeven units = 30,200 + 20,869= 51,069 units
51,069 * $3.3 = $168,528
2)
Working: $12,474 / 0.99 = 12,600 units
Thus total units = 51,069 + 12,600 = 63,669
3)
Working: Desired monthly expenses: $54,766 + $2,738 = 57,504
57,504 * 20% = 11,501
Unit contribution margin: 0.99 - 0.20 = 0.79
Contribution margin = Target profit / Unit contribution margin = 11,501 / 0.20 = 57,505 units
51,069 units + 57,505 units = 108,574 units

A fixed coupon bond with 10 years left until maturity and a coupon that is paid semi-annually is currently trading at a yield of 6%. If the price of the bond is $1,223.16, then the coupon rate is ____%. Par value is $1,000.
Answer:
9%
Explanation:
FV = 1000
No of compounding period = 2
No of years = 10
Nper = 20
Yield to maturity = 6%/2 = 3%
PV = 1223.16
Coupon payment = PMT(Rate, Nper, Pv, Fv)
Coupon payment = $45
Coupon rate = Coupon payment * Compounding per year / FV
Coupon rate = $45 * 2 / 1000
Coupon rate = 0.09
Coupon rate = 9%
