Answer:
A) sample size = 23.475 ≈ 23
B) How to tell someone to do the test is by taking a sampling process of a lot of the products because this will help to figure out defective units in the line of production and also ensure that the quality of the products are up to the same quality required
Explanation:
Data given
AQL = 20%, = 0.2
LTPD = 52% = 0.52
Assuming consumer risk acceptable by company = 10%
producer risk = 5%
A) First we calculate the ratio
= LTPD / AQL = 0.52 / 0.2 = 2.6
from the table of LTPD/AQL 2.6 is closest to 2.768
to calculate the sample size we apply the formula from the exhibit table
n ( AQL ) = 4.695
Therefore n ( sample size ) = 4.695 / 0.2 = 23.475
B) How to tell someone to do the test is by taking a sampling process of a lot of the products because this will help to figure out defective units in the line of production and also ensure that the quality of the products are up to the same quality required
On January 1, 2018, Ogleby Corporation signed a five-year noncancelable lease for equipment. The terms of the lease called for Ogleby to make annual payments of $180,000 at the beginning of each year for five years with title passing to Ogleby at the end of this period. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years and no salvage value. Ogleby uses the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its fixed assets. Ogleby accordingly accounts for this lease transaction as a finance lease. The minimum lease payments were determined to have a present value of $750,578 at an effective interest rate of 10%.
With respect to this lease, for 2018 Ogleby should record
a. rent expense of $180,000.
b. interest expense of $57,058 and amortization expense of $150,116.
c. interest expense of $57,058 and amortization expense of $107,225.
d. interest expense of $90,000 and amortization expense of $181,956
Show all work including formulas
Answer:
With respect to this lease, for 2018 Ogleby should record interest expense of $57,058 and depreciation expense of $107,225. The right answer is c
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
PV of lease=$750,578
Annual payment=$180,000
Rate of interesr=10%
The interest expense would be calculated as follows:
Interest expense = ( PV of lease - Annual payment ) * Rate of interest
Interest expense = ( $750,578 - $180,000 ) * 10%
Interest expense = $57,058
Therefore, With respect to this lease, for 2018 Ogleby should record interest expense of $57,058 and depreciation expense of $107,225.
1. Assuming that crowding out is not an issue, if Congress increases business taxes at the same time that the Federal Reserve conducts an open market sale, output and price level are likely to change in which of the following ways?
Output / Price Level
A. Increase / Decrease.
B. Decrease / Increase
C. Indeterminate / Decrease.
D. Decrease / Indeterminate.
E. Decrease / Decrease.
2. The election of a new president resulted in a significant increase in business confidence regarding the economy. How will this new confidence impact the loanable funds market in the short run?
Demand for Loanable Funds / Real Interest Rate
A. Increase / Increase.
B. Increase / Decrease.
C. Increase / No Change.
D. Decrease / Decrease.
E. Decrease / Increase
3. When a bank’s excess reserves increase by $375 after $500 was deposited in the bank, the reserve requirement must be
a. 10 percent.
b. 15 percent.
c. 20 percent.
d. 25 percent.
e. 30 percent.
Answer:
1. E. Decrease/ Decrease
The higher taxes on businesses will reduce output because businesses will have less incentive to produce, and therefore, will produce less.
When the Fed conducts an open market sale, it reduces the money supply. This decreases the price level.
2. A. Increase / Increase.
The higher demand for loanable funds due to increased business confidence will also increase the value of the real interest rate.
3. d. 25 percent.
If the excess reserves are $375, then, the required reserves are $125. And $125 is the 25% of $500.

The company’s sales and expenses for last month follow: Total Per UnitSales$640,000 $40 Variable expenses 448,000 28 Contribution margin 192,000 $12 Fixed expenses 145,200 Net operating income$46,800 Required:1. What is the monthly break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales?2. Without resorting to computations, what is the total contribution margin at the break-even point?3-a. How many units would have to be sold each month to attain a target profit of $75,600?3-b. Verify your answer by preparing a contribution format income statement at the target sales level.4. Refer to the original data. Compute the company's margin of safety in both dollar and percentage terms.5. What is the company’s CM ratio? If sales increase by $96,000 per month and there is no change in fixed expenses, by how much would you expect monthly net operating income to increase?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= $640,000 ($40)
Variable expenses= 448,000 (28)
Contribution margin= 192,000 ($12)
Fixed expenses= (145,200)
Net operating income=$46,800
1) To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 145,200/(40-28)
Break-even point in units= 12,100 units
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 145,200/ (12/40)
Break-even point (dollars)= $484,000
2) The break-even point is the number of units to sell to reach a net profit of cero. Therefore, the contribution margin must be equal to the fixed costs.
Contribution margin= 145,200
3) profit= $75,600
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 220,800/12
Break-even point in units= 18,400 units
Sales= 18,400*40= 736,000
Total variable costs= 18,400*28= (515,200)
Contribution margin= 220,800
Fixed costs= 145,200
Net profit= 75,600
4) The margin of safety:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= 640,000 - 484,000= $156,000
Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level
Margin of safety ratio= 156,000/640,000
Margin of safety ratio= 0.244= 24.4%
5) Contribution margin ratio= 12/40= 0.3
Net increase= 96,000*0.3= $28,800

Chang Industries has 2,000 defective units of product that already cost $14 each to produce. A salvage company will purchase the defective units as is for $5 each. Chang's production manager reports that the defects can be corrected for $6 per unit, enabling them to be sold at their regular market price of $21. The $14 per unit is a: Multiple Choice Sunk cost. Out-of-pocket cost. Period cost. Incremental cost. Opportunity cost.
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be Option A "Sunk cost".
Explanation:
A sunk cost includes money also now invested and therefore not recoverable. In industry, the aphorism that one should "probably waste money to make profits" is expressed in the sunken cost trend.It differs from the potential risks that a company will face, including such inventory purchasing costs as well as drug price choices. 2000 Default units including its drug were already manufactured at $14, this expense was already accrued and seems to be negligibleThe other choices corresponding to the specified situation are not. So the proper answer is Alternative A.

c. Compute the labor rate variance for September.
d. Compute the labor efficiency variance for September.
e. Compute the variable overhead rate variance for September.
f. Compute the variable overhead efficiency variance for September.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials 7.60 liters $ 7.20 per liter
Direct labor 0.60 hours 23.70 per hour
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.60 hours $ 6.10 per hour
Actual output 9,800 units
Raw materials purchased 75,200 liters
Actual cost of raw materials purchased $ 564,500
Raw materials used in production 74,500 liters
Actual direct labor-hours 5,500 hours
Actual direct labor cost $ 135,302
Actual variable overhead cost $ 29,314
1) To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual pirce= 564,500/75,200= 7.51
Direct material price variance= (7.2 - 7.51)*75,200
Direct material price variance= $23,312 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (7.6*9,800 - 74,500)*7.2
Direct material quantity variance= $144 favorable
2) To calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Standard quantity= 0.6*9,800= 5,880
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (5,880 - 5,500)*23.7
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $9,006 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 135,302/5,500= 24.6
Direct labor rate variance= (23.7 - 24.6)*5,500
Direct labor rate variance= $4,950 unfavorable
3) To calculate the variable overhead rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Actual rate= 29,314/5,500= 5.33
Manufacturing overhead rate variance= (6.10 - 5.33)*5,500
Manufacturing overhead rate variance= $4,235 favorable
variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate
variable overhead efficiency variance= (0.6*9,800 - 5,500)*6.1
variable overhead efficiency variance= $2,318 favorable

A company is considering the purchase of new equipment for $96,000. The projected annual net cash flows are $37,700. The machine has a useful life of 3 years and no salvage value. Management of the company requires a 8% return on investment. The present value of an annuity of $1 for various periods follows: Period Present value of an annuity of $1 at 8% 1 0.9259 2 1.7833 3 2.5771 What is the net present value of this machine assuming all cash flows occur at year-end
Answer:
$1,157
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of net present value is provided below:-
To reach out the net present value first we will find the present value of annuity
Present value of annuity = Annuity × PVIFA factor of 3 years at 8%
= $37,700 × 2.5771
= $97,156.67
Net present value = Present value of inflows - Present value of outflows
= $97,156.67 - $96,000
= $1,157
So, we have calculated the net present value by using the above formula.

Metlock Industries acquired two copyrights during 2020. One copyright related to a textbook that was developed internally at a cost of $9,300. This textbook is estimated to have a useful life of 3 years from September 1, 2020, the date it was published. The second copyright (a history research textbook) was purchased from University Press on December 1, 2020, for $40,000. This textbook has an indefinite useful life.
Required:
a) How should these two copyrights be reported on Metlock’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2020?
Answer:
The first book will not be reported on the balance sheet, but the second copyright will be reported at the full purcahse price.
Explanation:
1. A textbook that was developed internally: The $9,300 cost incurred must be expensed. As a result of this. the copyright will only be reported on the income statement but not on the balance sheet.
2. The second copyright (a history research textbook): The $40,000 purchase cost of this will be reported on the balnace sheet in full. But there will not be amortization since it has an indefinite useful life.
Vaughn Service Center just purchased an automobile hoist for $34,000. The hoist has an 8-year life and an estimated salvage value of $3,400. Installation costs and freight charges were $4,200 and $800, respectively. Vaughn uses straight-line depreciation. The new hoist will be used to replace mufflers and tires on automobiles. Vaughn estimates that the new hoist will enable his mechanics to replace 5 extra mufflers per week. Each muffler sells for $77 installed. The cost of a muffler is $38, and the labor cost to install a muffler is $14. (a) Compute the cash payback period for the new hoist. Cash payback period years (b) Compute the annual rate of return for the new hoist. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.52%.) Annual rate of return %
Answer:
a. Cash payback period years = 6 years
b. Annual rate of return = 9.67%
Explanation:
(a) Compute the cash payback period for the new hoist. Cash payback period years
Total cost of automobile hoist = Purchase cost + Installation costs + freight charges = $34,000 + $4,200 + $800 = $39,000
Weekly profit or cash inflow = (Muffler selling price per unit - Muffler cost per unit - Muffler labor cost per unit) * Number of extra muffler per week = ($77 - $38 - $14) * 5 = $125
Annual cash inflow = $125 * 52 weeks = $6,500
Cash payback period years = Total cost of automobile hoist / Annual cash inflow = $39,000 / $6,500 = 6 years
(b) Compute the annual rate of return for the new hoist
Annual depreciation expenses = (Total cost of automobile hoist - Estimated salvage value) / Useful years = ($39,000 - $3,400) / 8 = $4,450
Expected annual income = Annual cash inflow - Annual depreciation expenses = $6,500 - $4,450 = $2,050
Average investment = (Total cost of automobile hoist + Salvage value) / 2 = ($39,000 + $3,400) / 2 = $21,200
Annual rate of return = Expected annual income / Average investment = $2,050 / $21,200 = 0.0967, or 9.67%
International Data Systems' information on revenue and costs is relevant only up to a sales volume of 106,000 units. After 106,000 units, the market becomes saturated and the price per unit falls from $16.00 to $9.80. Also, there are cost overruns at a production volume of over 106,000 units, and variable cost per unit goes up from $8.00 to $8.50. Fixed costs remain the same at $56,000.
a. Compute operating income at 106,000 units.b. Compute operating income at 206,000 units.
Answer:
Option A. $792,000
Option B. $211,800
Explanation:
At the level 106,000 Units, the price per unit and variable cost per unit will remain at $16 and $8 per unit.
Option A.
Sales (106,000 Units * $16) $1,696,000
Variable cost (106,000* $8) $848,000
Fixed costs $56000
Operating Profit $792,000
Option B.
When the production exceeds 106,000 units level, the price per unit and variable cost per unit will remain at $9.8 and $8.5 per unit.
Sales (206,000 * $9.8) $2,018,800
Variable cost (206,000 * $8.5) $1,751,000
Fixed costs $56,000
Operating Profit $211,800
The profit has been decreased substantially due to increase in Marginal cost.
During 2018, its first year of operations, Pave Construction provides services on account of $142,000. By the end of 2018, cash collections on these accounts total $101,000. Pave estimates that 25% of the uncollected accounts will be bad debts.

Answer:
1. Record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts on December 31, 2018.
Dr Bad debt expense 10,250
Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 10,250
Allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra asset account that reduces the amount of accounts receivable and has a credit balance.
2. Calculate the net realizable value of accounts receivable.
net realizable value of accounts receivable = total accounts receivable - allowance for doubtful accounts = $41,000 - $10,250 = $30,750
Explanation:
total services on account $142,000
cash collected $101,000, remaining accounts receivable $41,000
25% of remaining accounts receivable will be uncollectible = $41,000 x 25% = $10,250 in bad debts

= $3,120 U
Material Price Variance = (Actual quantity × Actual rate) - (Actual quantity-standard rate)
= $6,240 - (2,400 × 2.4)
= $480 U
Material Quantity Variance = Standard rate × (actual quantity used - standard quantity)
= 2.4 × (2,400 - (260×5))
= $2,640 U
Total Labor variance = Actual cost - Standard cost
= $15,458 - (260 × 12 × 5)
= 142 F
Labor price variance = (Actual hour × actual rate) - (actual hours × standard rate)
= $15,458 - ($1,310 × 12)
= $262 F
Labor efficiency variance = Standard cost × (Actual hrs used - Standard hours)
= 12 × (1,310 - (260 × 5))
= $120 U
We simply applied the above formulas
Under ideal conditions inflation should not have any blurring effect on price signals. If wages and prices are rising at a constant 20% then individuals should be able to adjust their expectations accordingly. For example, if the price of bread increased by 20% and the price of the input flour also rose by 20%, the sellers should know that the real price of bread has not changed. The market equilibrium quantity and price has not changed. Why does inflation in the real world result in shortages and surpluses?
Answer:
1. Adjustments of or changes in price are not smooth or synchronized.
2. Inflation rarely have impact on the prices of inputs.
3. The concentration of sellers is more on nominal prices of goods than real prices.
Explanation:
Inflation can be described as a sustained increase in the general price level of commodities within a country over a period of time.
The following are the reasons inflation in the real world result in shortages and surpluses:
1. Adjustmensts of or changes in price are not smooth or synchronized.
2. Inflation rarely have impact on the prices of inputs.
3. The concentration of sellers is more on nominal prices of goods than real prices.
You are considering adding a new food product to your store for resale. You are certain that, in a month, minimum demand for the product will be 5 units, while maximum demand will be 8 units. (Unfortunately, the new product has a one-month shelf life and is considered to be waste at the end of the month.) You will pay $70/unit for this new product while you plan to sell the product at $100 ($30/unit profit). The estimated demand for this new product in any given month is 5 units (p=0.2), 6 units (p=0.2), 7 units (p=0.4), and 8 units (p=0.2).
Required:
1. Using EMV analysis, how many units of the new product should be purchased for resale?
Answer:
Using EMV analysis, the number of units of the new product should be purchased for resale = Purchase 7.
The maximum EMV of profit you can make is 270.
Explanation:
We can use the following method to solve the given problem
Solution:
Using EMV analysis,
EMV (Purchase 6 for resale)= 6(40)(0.1) + 6(40)(0.4) + 6(40)(0.5)=240
EMV (Purchase 7 for resale) = [6(40)-60](0.1) +7(40)(0.4) + 7 (40)(0.5) = 270
EMV (Purchase 8 for resale) = [6(40)-2(60)] (0.1) + [7 (40) - 60] (0.4) + 8(40)(0.5)= 260
Largest EMV= 270; Choose to purchase 7 units for resale.
Financial instruments are assets that have a monetary value or record a monetary transaction.

WP Corporation produces products X, Y, and Z from a single raw material input in a joint production process. Budgeted data for the next month is as follows:
Product X Product Y Product Z
Units produced 1,500 2,000 3,000
Per unit sales value at split-off $ 19.00 $ 21.00 $ 24.00
Added processing costs per unit $ 7.00 $ 7.50 $ 7.00
Per unit sales value if processed further $ 29.00 $ 29.00 $ 30.00
The cost of the joint raw material input is $149,000. Which of the products should be processed beyond the split-off point?
Product X Product Y Product Z
A) Yes Yes No
B) No Yes No
C) Yes No Yes
D) No Yes Yes
1. Choice D
2. Choice A
3. Choice B
4. Choice C
Answer:
yes yes NO ( A )
Explanation:
products X,Y,Z
units produced : X = 1500 , Y = 2000, Z = 3000
per unit sales value at split-off : X = $19, Y = $21, Z = $24
Added processing costs per unit : X = $7, Y = $7.50 , Z = $7
per unit sales value if processed further : X = $29, Y = $29, Z = $30
COST OF JOINT MATERIAL INPUT = $149000
To check for products to be processed further we apply
(unit sales value if processed further - per unit sales value at split-off ) - ( added processing cost )
for product X = $29 - $19 - $7 = $3
for product Y = $29 - $21 - $7.5 = $0.50
for product Z = $30 - $24 - $7 = - $1 ( negative value )
products to be processed beyond the split of point would be : X Y
because Z has a negative contribution margin

The Can Division of Vaughn Manufacturing manufactures and sells tin cans externally for $1.20 per can. Its unit variable costs and unit fixed costs are $0.24 and $0.10, respectively. The Packaging Division wants to purchase 50,000 cans at $0.34 a can. Selling internally will save $0.03 a can. Assuming the Can Division is already operating at full capacity, what is the minimum transfer price it should accept? $0.86 $0.71 $1.17 $0.27
Answer:
Minimum transfer price = $1.17
Explanation:
The Can Division is operating at full capacity, hence it has no excess capacity .
This implies that it can not produce enough to meet both the internal and external buyers.
Since Division X can not accommodate the demands of the Packaging Division at a price lower than the external price, because it will result to a loss in contribution.
To maximize and optimize the group profit
Minimum transfer price = External selling price - savings in internal transfer cost
= $1.20 - 0.03 = $1.17
Minimum transfer price = $1.17

Transactions that affect earnings do not necessarily affect cash. Identify the effect, if any, that each of the following transactions would have upon cash and net income. (If an amount reduces the account balance then enter with negative sign preceding the number e.g. -15,000 or parentheses e.g. (15,000).)(a) Purchased $173 of supplies for cash.(b) Recorded an adjusting entry to record use of $49 of the above supplies.(c) Made sales of $1,271, all on account.(e) Received $738 from customers in payment of their accounts. Purchased equipment for cash, $2,518.(f) Recorded depreciation of building for period used, $743.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Retained Earnings
Particular Cash ($) Net income ($)
a. Purchased supplies for cash -173 -
b. Adjusting entry to record use of supplies - - 49
c. Sales made of all on accounts - 1,271
d. Received customer payment of their accounts 738 -
e. Purchased equipment for cash -2,518 -
f. Depreciation of building for period use - -743
In the first transaction the cash is gone so it would be deducted no impact on net income
In the second transaction there is an adjusting entry the same affect the net income in a negative manner and no impact on cash
In the third transactions sales made which increased the net income and does not have any impact on cash
In the fourth transaction Received payment which increased the cash balance and no impact on net income
In the first transaction the cash is gone so it would be deducted no impact on net income
In the fifth transaction the depreciation is charged so it would decreased the net income and no impact on cash
What's the total resistance of a circuit that contains three 30 Ω resistors connected in series
Answer:
The total resistance is 90 Ω
Explanation:
When the circuit are connected in the series then we can determined the total resistance of the circuit by the formula that are mention below .
[tex]R=R1+ R2 +R3[/tex] -------Equation 1
Here [tex]R1=R2=R3=30 \ ohm[/tex]
Now putting the value of R1, R2 and R3 in the Equation 1
So
[tex]R=30 + 30 + 30\\[/tex]
Therefore the total resistance of the circuit =90 Ω
Because the liquidity-preference framework focuses on the:
a.short run, it assumes the price level adjusts to bring the money market to equilibrium.
b.short run, it assumes the interest rate adjusts to bring the money market to equilibrium.
c.long run, it assumes the price level adjusts to bring the money market to equilibrium.
d.long run, it assumes the interest rate adjusts to bring the money market to equilibrium.
Answer:
B. Short run, it assumes the interest rate adjusts to bring the money market to equilibrium
Explanation:
This theory is explained to be a model that suggests that an investor should demand a higher interest rate or premium on securities with long-term maturities that carry greater risk because, all other factors being equal, investors prefer cash or other highly liquid holdings.
According to this theory, which was developed by John Maynard Keynes in support of his idea that the demand for liquidity holds speculative power, investments that are more liquid are easier to cash in for full value. Cash is commonly accepted as the most liquid asset. According to the liquidity preference theory, interest rates on short-term securities are lower because investors are not sacrificing liquidity for greater time frames than medium or longer-term securities.
