Sanborn Industries has the following overhead costs and cost drivers. Direct labor hours are estimated at 100,000 for the year.
Activity Cost Pool Cost Driver Est. Overhead Cost Driver Activity
Ordering and Receiving Orders $120,000 500 orders
Machine Setup Setups 297,000 450 setups
Machining Machine hours 1,500,000 125,000 MH
Assembly Parts 1,200,000 1,000,000 parts
Inspection Inspections 300,000 500 inspections
If overhead is applied using traditional-based costing on direct labor hours, the overhead application rate is:___________.
a) 9.60
b) 12.00
c) 15.00
d) 34.17
Answers
Answer:
d) 34.17
Explanation:
we must first calculate the total overhead expenses = $120,000 (ordering and receiving) + $297,000 (machine setup) + $1,500,000 (machining) + $1,200,000 (assembly parts) + $300,000 (inspection) = $3,417,000
since overhead is applied based on direct labor hours, then the predetermined overhead rate = total overhead expenses / total direct labor hours = $3,417,000 / 100,000 labor hours = $34.17 per labor hour

Your company assembles five different models of a motor scooter that is sold in specialty stores in the United States. The company uses the same engine for all five models. You have been given the assignment of choosing a supplier for these engines for the coming year. Due to the size of your warehouse and other administrative restrictions, you must order the engines in lot sizes of 1,000 units. Because of the unique characteristics of the engine, special tooling is needed during the manufacturing process for which you agree to reimburse the supplier. Your assistant has obtained quotes from two reliable engine suppliers and you need to decide which to use. The following data have been collected:
Requirements (annual forecast) 12,000 units
Weight per engine 22 pounds
Order processing cost $125 per order
Inventory carry cost 20 percent of the average value of inventory per year
Assume that half of lot size is in inventory on average (1,000/2 = 500 units).
Two qualified suppliers have submitted the following quotations:
ORDER QUANTITY SUPPLIER 1 UNIT PRICE SUPPLIER 2 UNIT PRICE
1 to 1,499 units/order $510.00 $505.00
1,500 to 2,999 units/order 500.00 505.00
3,000 + units/order 490.00 488.00
Tooling costs $22,000 $20,000
Distance 125 miles 100 miles
Your assistant has obtained the following freight rates from your carrier:
Truckload (40.000 lbs. each load): $0.80 per ton-mile
Less-than-truckload: $1.20 per ton-mile
Required:
a. Calculate the total cost for each supplier.
b. Which supplier would you select?
c. If you could move the lot size up to ship in truckload quantities, calculate the total cost for each supplier.
d. Would your supplier selection change?
Answers
Answer:
a. Cost of Supplier 1 : $6,214,300 per year
Cost of Supplier 2 : $6,147,840
b. Supplier 2 will be selected as it costs $66,460 less than supplier 1.
c. 1,818
d. No.
Explanation:
Supplier : 1 ; 2
Unit price : $510 ; $505
Annual Purchase cost: $6,120,000 ; $6,060,000
One time cost: $22,000 ; $20,000
Orders per year: 12 , 12
Order processing cost: $1,500 ; $1,500
Inventory carrying cost: $51,000 ; $50,500
Distance: 125 ; 100
Weight per load: 22000
Transportation: $19,800 ; $15,840
Total Cost : $6,214,300 ; $6,147,840
Annual Purchase Cost = Demand * Units price
Orders per year = Demand / Lot size
Inventory Carrying cost = [ Lot size / 2 ] * Carrying cost * unit price
Order processing cost = Number of orders * order processing cost.
c. Required lot size for truck : 40,000 / 22 ≈ 1,818
Assume Merck (MRK) just announced that its next dividend will be $2, paid one year from now (you just missed the prior annual dividend). You expect the dividend will grow (after the $2 dividend) by 3% per year forever. Your required return is 10%. What are you willing to pay for a share of Merck stock
Answers
Answer:
$28.57
Explanation:
Current price = D1/(Required return-Growth rate)
D1 (Next dividend) = $2
Required return = 10% = 0.1
Growth rate = 3% = 0.03
Current price = $2/(0.1-0.03)
Current price = $2 / 0.07
Current price = $28.57143
Current price = $28.57
Hence, i will be willing to pay $28.57 for a share of Merck stock.

The company is considering hiring its own sales staff to replace the network of agents. It will pay its salespeople a commission of 8% and incur additional fixed costs of $7,500,000.
Under the current policy of using a network of sales agents, calculate the Bonita Beauty Corporation
Answers
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for the requirements of similar questions:
A. Calculate the company’s break-even point in sales dollars for the year 2014 if it hires its own sales force to replace the network of agents.
B. Calculate the degree of operating leverage at sales of $75,000,000 if (1) Bonita Beauty uses sales agents, and (2) Bonita Beauty employs its own sales staff.
a) total sales = $75,000,000
variable costs:
COGS $31,500,000
commissions $6,000,000
total variable costs = $37,500,000
contribution margin ratio = $37,500,000 / $75,000,000 = 0.5
total fixed costs = $8,610,000 + $10,260,000 + $7,500,000 = $26,370,000
break even point in $ = $26,370,000 / 0.5 = $52,740,000
b) one of the formulas that we can use to calculate the degree of operating leverage is:
operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs
1) total costs using sales agents = $63,870,000
total fixed costs = $8,610,000 + $10,260,000 = $18,870,000
degree of operating leverage = $18,870,000 / $63,870,000 = 29.54%
2) total costs employing its own sales staff = $6,000,000 + $31,500,000 + $26,370,000 = $63,870,000
total fixed costs = $26,370,000
degree of operating leverage = $26,370,000 / $63,870,000 = 41.29%

80,800,000 - 13,333 = 80,786,667
C)
the effective interest rate is higher under A-1 as the company is paying the same nominal amount of $4,000,000 every six months but, received less cash for the bonds in A-1 case making the effective rate higher .
Explanation:
A-1 issued at 98 points
cash received:
80,000,000 x 98/100 = 78,400,000
discount on bonds: 80,000,000 - 78,400,000 = 1,600,000
On Dec 31st we solve for accrued discoutn and interest:
amortization
1,600,000 / 40 payment = 40,000 per payment
proportional amortization: 40,000 x 4/6 (month accrued) = 26,667
interest paid
principal x rate x time
80,000,000 x 10% x 4/12 = 2,666,667
payment:
8,000,000 x 10% x 6/12 = 4,000,000
proportional amortization: 40,000 x 2/6 (month accrued) = 13,333
accrued interest 8,000,000 x 10% x 2/12 = 1,333,333
A-2 we issue a 101 point
cash received:
80,000,000 x 101/100 = 80,800,000
premuim on bonds: 800,000
On Dec 31st we solve for accrued discount and interest:
amortization
800,000 / 40 payment = 20,000 per payment
proportional amortization: 20,000 x 4/6 (month accrued) = 13,333
interest paid
principal x rate x time
80,000,000 x 10% x 4/12 = 2,666,667
payment:
8,000,000 x 10% x 6/12 = 4,000,000
proportional amortization: 40,000 x 2/6 (month accrued) = 6,667
accrued interest 8,000,000 x 10% x 2/12 = 1,333,333
Mr. and Mrs. Revel had $206,200 AGI before considering capital gains and losses. Required: For each of the following cases, compute their AGI:
a. On May 8, they recognized an $8,900 short-term capital gain. On June 25, they recognized a $15,000 long-term capital loss.
b. On February 11, they recognized a $2,100 long-term capital gain. On November 3, they recognized a $1,720 long-term capital loss.
c. On April 2, they recognized a $5,000 long-term capital loss. On September 30, they recognized a $4,800 short-term capital loss.
d. On January 12, they recognized a $5,600 short-term capital loss. On July 5, they recognized a $1,500 long-term capital gain.
Answers
Answer:
For 2020 the maximum capital loss deductible from taxable income is $3,000 and this applies when capital losses exceed capital gains.
a. Net Gain = 8,900 - 15,000
= -$6,100
Their AGI will be;
= 206,200 - 3,000
= $203,200
b. Net Gain = 2,100 - 1,720
= $380
AGI;
= 206,200 + 380
= $206,580
c. Net Gain = - 5,000 - 4,800
= -$9,800
AGI;
= 206,200 - 3,000
= $203,200
d. Net Gain = 1,500 - 5,600
= -$4,100
AGI;
= 206,200 - 3,000
= $203,200
The computation of Mr. and Mrs. Revel's AGI after inputting capital gains and losses are as follows:
Situation AGI Before Net Capital Gain AGI After
a. $206,200 ($3,000) $203,200
b. $206,200 $380 $206,580
c. $206,200 ($3,000) $203,200
d. $206,200 ($3,000) $203,200
Data and Calculations:
The AGI of Mr. and Mrs Revel before Capital Gains and Losses = $206,200
Case A:
Short-term capital gain = $8,900
Long-term capital loss = $15,000
Net capital gain = ($6,100)
Maximum capital loss allowed in the year = $3,000
Balance carried forward = $3,100 ($6,100 - $3,000)
Case B:
Long-term capital gain =$2,100
Long-term capital loss = $1,720
Net capital gain = $380
Case C:
Long-term capital loss = $5,000
Short-term capital loss = $4,800
Net capital loss = $9,800
Maximum capital loss allowed = $3,000
Capital loss carried forward = $6,800 ($9,800 - $3,000)
Case D:
Short-term capital loss = $5,600
Long-term capital gain = $1,500
Net capital loss = $4,100
Maximum capital loss allowed = $3,000
Capital loss carried forward =$1,100 ($4,100 - $3,000)

Champion manufactures winter fleece jackets for sale in the United States. Demand for jackets during the season is normally distributed, with a mean of 20,000 and a standard deviation of 10,000. Each jacket sells for $60 and costs $30 to produce. Any leftover jackets at the end of the season are sold for $25 at the year-end clearance sale. Holding jackets until the year-end sale adds another $5 to their cost. A recent recruit has suggested shipping leftover jackets to South America for sale in the winter there rather than running a clearance.

Assume you work for a valuation firm, and you have been given the assignment of valuing a local law firm comprising three partners and four associates. One partner plans to retire spoon, and the partners are trying to agree on the value of a one-third interest in the firm in order to buy out the departing partner's interest. The firm's revenue per partner is two times higher than that of the average firm of a similar size, but you soon discover that 80% of firm revenue is from one client.

One question to raise:
Which of the partners brought in this one powerful client? I hope it is not the retiring partner.
Explanation:
If the retiring partner had brought in the client and had been in charge of the client's business, the firm's valuation would be drastically influenced by these facts. It is likely that the client might retire the service as the retiring partner retires. This will jeopardize the revenue outlook of the firm, its future prospects, and its current value. However, if the retiring partner is not linked to this powerful client, then it may be that the firm's value will not be at risk. Again, over-dependence on one client for firm's revenue is does not augur well for the firm. Moreover, the margin of over-dependence is too high for comfort. There is serious need for a review of the relationship, not in terms of termination, but in terms of seeking for more big-ticket clients to relatively reduce the over-dependence.
Pitbull Construction Corporation applies IFRS, has equipment that it can reliably measure fair value of, and has chosen to apply the revaluation model to valuing this equipment on its accounting records. The carrying value of this equipment on Pitbull's books at the end of last year, December 31, 20X1, was $200,000. At the end of this year, December 31, 20X2, due to decreased demand for the equipment, especially when resold as used, the fair value is $150,000. For the year 20X2, in relation to this equipment for which Pitbull has chosen to apply the revaluation method, Pitbull must:_________
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
If there is decrease in fair value of an asset as is seen in the example with Pitbull corporation, we decrease asset revaluation reserve in the balance sheet by the value reduced $50000 here to recognise new carrying value of the asset and then debit the expenses of revaluation to the income statement or profit and loss account. If there was an increase in fair value, revaluation would add to retained earnings in balance sheet and income in income statement

A worker has two jobs, and they can choose to work any number of hours in a day on each job (up to the upper limit, if any), but can only work on one job at a time. The first job pays $10 per hour and has an upper limit of 6 hours per day. The second job pays $6 per hour and has no upper limit (for example, fixed-contract online freelance work). The worker will always choose the first job if they can. Consider their budget constraint with the amount of daily leisure time on the horizontal axis (from 0 to 24 hours) and their consumption expenditure on the vertical axis (which equals their daily income). Based on this information, which of the following is correct?
a. The workers budget constraint is kinked at 6 hours of free time.
b. The worker will never choose to consume exactly 18 hours of free time.
c. The slope of the budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large.
d. For the choice of 8 hours of free time, the maximum expenditure for the day is 96
Answers
Answer:
The slope of the Budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large ( C )
Explanation:
The slope of the Budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large
This is right, because whenever the hours of free time is small, This means that he will be under the second job that pays $6 per hour, with no upper limit on work hours, hence he will work more & enjoy less free time.
Hence the slope of BC = 6
what will you use for banca/boat to move
Answers
Answer:
a paddle
Explanation:
Using a "paddle" is very important in order to move/propel a boat. Paddling creates a force which goes against the water. This force is faced by an opposite force that is equal and that which allows the boat to move forward.
So as you push the water asides, the boat accelerates. Such technique is deemed efficient when using the boat. Not following the proper technique will not move the boat.

Snoblo, a manufacturer of snowblowers, sells four models. The base model, Reguplo, has demand that is normally distributed, with a mean of 10,000 and a stand deviation of 1,000. The three other models have additional features, and each has demand that is normally distributed, with a mean of 1,000 and a standard deviation of 700. Currently all four models are manufactured on the same line at a cost of $100 for Reguplo and $110 for each of the other three models. Reguplo sells for $200, whereas each of the other three models sells for $220. Any unsold blowers are sold at the end of the season for $80. Snoblo is considering the use of tailored sourcing by setting up two separate lines, one for Reguplo and one for the other three. Given that no changeovers will be required on the Reguplo line, the production cost of Reguplo is expected to decline to $90. The production cost of the other three products, however, will now increase to $120.

Suppose that France and Austria both produce rye and wine. France's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 bushels of rye while Austria's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 bushels of rye. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that __________ has a comparative advantage in the production of wine and __________has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.
Suppose that France and Austria consider trading wine and rye with each other. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than __________of rye for each bottle of wine it exports to Austria. Similarly, Austria can gain from trade as long as it receives more than __________of wine for each bushel of rye it exports to France.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of wine in terms of rye) would allow both Austria and France to gain from trade?
a. 7 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
b. 4 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
c. 1 bushel of rye per bottle of wine
d. 11 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
Answers
Answer:
France has comparative advantage in production of wine
Austria has comparative advantage in production of rye.
4 bushels of rye for each bottle of wine
1 bottle of wine for each bushel.
b. 4 bushel of rye per bottle of wine.
Explanation:
France has comparative advantage in producing wine as it has opportunity cost of 4 bushels per bottle of wine. Austria has comparative advantage in producing bushels as it has opportunity cost of 10 bushels per bottle of wine. The both countries can gain advantage if they agree for 4 bushels per wine.
