Company X Company Y Company Z
Net income/(net loss) $30 $_____ $(20)
Sales _____ 1,270 970
Gross profit 245 _____ 525
Operating expenses _____ 525 _____
Cost of goods sold 330 790 _____
Answer:
Company X:
Sales :
= Gross Profit + Cost of goods sold
= 245 + 330
= $575
Operating expenses:
= Gross profit - Net income
= 245 - 30
= $215
Company Y
Gross profit:
= Sales - Cost of goods sold
= 1,270 - 790
= $480
Net income:
= Gross profit - Operating expenses
= 480 - 525
= $(45)
Company Z
Operating expenses :
= Gross profit - Net income
= 525 - (-20)
= 525 + 20
= $545
Cost of goods sold:
= Sales - Gross profit
= 970 - 525
= $445
1. Brodrick Company expects to produce 20,000 units for the year ending December 31.

If the company instead expects to produce and sell 26,000 units for the year, calculate the expected level of income from operations.
2. Refer to information QS 1. Assume that actual sales for the year are $480,000, actual variable costs for the year are $112,000, and actual fixed costs for the year are $145,000 Prepare a flexible budget performance report for the year.
Answer:
Brodrick Company
1. The expected level of income from operations is:
= $266,000.
2. Flexible Budget Performance Report for the year
Flexible Actual Variance
Budget Budget
Sales revenue $480,000 $480,000 $0
Variable costs 96,000 112,000 $16,000 U
Fixed costs 150,000 145,000 5,000 F
Net operating income $234,000 $223,000 $11,000 U
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected production units = $20,000
Expected sales based on 20,000 units = $400,000 at $20 per unit
Variable costs = $80,000 at $4 per unit
Fixed costs = $150,000
Expected sales based on 26,000 units
Expected level of income from operations:
Sales revenue = $520,000 ($20 * 26,000)
Variable cost = 104,000 ($4 * 26,000)
Fixed cost = 150,000
Net income = $266,000
Actual sales revenue for the year = $480,000 (24,000 * $20)
Actual variable costs = 112,000 (24,000 * $4.67)
Actual fixed costs = 145,000
Net operating income = $223,000
Royal Inc. issued 10-year, $100,000, 10% annual interest-bearing bonds with a carrying value of $88,800 as of December 31, 2020. Royal Inc. amortizes the discount using the effective interest method.

The case explains that newly-hired CEO Ron Johnson quickly ordered the alteration of all stores to remove discount racks and add premium items. According to the case, that change and others signaled the move from a _________ strategy to a ________ strategy.
Answer:
cost-leadership; blue ocean
Explanation:
From the question we are informed about the case explains that newly-hired CEO Ron Johnson quickly ordered the alteration of all stores to remove discount racks and add premium items. According to the case, that change and others signaled the move from a cost-leadership strategy to a blue ocean strategy.
Cost leadership can be regarded as strategy where there is establishment of a competitive advantage as a result of having the lowest cost of operation in a particular the industry by a firm, in this case, it is possible for a firm to be
lowest cost producer but at same time it doesn't offer lowest-priced products or services.
Blue Ocean Strategy can be regarded as a strategy used in a market in a case whereby where there exist no competition or there is very less competition for a particular product market. This strategy involves searching for a business whereby few firms operate it and pricing pressure is minimal or doesn't exist.
A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,500,000 and can be sold for $715,000 at the end of the project. The asset is in the 5-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 20.00 percent, 32.00 percent, 19.20 percent, 11.52 percent, and 11.52 percent, respectively. The company's tax rate is 34 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?
Hint: 1. Find the remaining book value at the end. 2. Subtract this from the expected sale price to find the gain on sale. 3. Apply the tax rate to this gain to find the taxes owed. 4. The after-tax salvage value is the sale price minus the taxes.
a) $715,000.
b) $752,468.
c) $540,444.
d) $677,532.
e) $471,900.
Answer:
d) $677,532.
Explanation:
1.
Written down value of the equipment after 4 years = Cost x ( 100% - 1st year MACRS - Second-year MACRS - Third-year MACRS - Fourth-year MACRS ) = $3,500,000 x ( 100% - 20% - 32% - 19.20% - 11.52% ) = $604,800
2.
Now calculate the gain on the sale of equipment
Gain on the sale of equipment = Sale Price - Written down Value after 4 years = $715,000 - $604,800 = $110,200
3.
Tax owed = Gain on the sale x Tax rate = $110,200 x 34% = $37,468
After-tax salvage value = Sales price - Tax = $715,000 - $37,468 = $677,532
The supplies account had a beginning balance of $1,693. Supplies purchased during the period totaled $4,413. At the end of the period before adjustment, $445 of supplies were on hand. Prepare the adjusting entry for supplies. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
Answer:
Debit Supplies expense $5,661
Credit Supplies account $5,661
Explanation:
At the time of purchasing supplies, the entries includes a debit to supplies accounts, and a credit to cash or accounts payable which is dependent on whether the cash purchased was done via cash or an account
For supplies used, debit supplies expense and credit supplies account. The movement in supplies account over a period is due to purchases and its expressed as;
Opening balance + Purchases - Supplies used = closing balance
$1,693 + $4,413 - Supplies used = $445
$6,106 - Supplies used = $445
Supplies used = $6,106 + $445
Supplies used = $5,661

differentiate between the short run and Long run?
Answer:
Short-run is a time limit during which at least one input can be fixed and other input quantities can be verified.
The long run is a time period in which all the inputs can be verified in quantities.
Explanation:
Both the fixed and variable costs occur in the short term.There are no fixed costs in the long term.The combination of the output of a company results in the desired amount of the goods at the lowest possible cost is sustained by efficient long-term costs.The output changes variable costs. For instance, the employee's salaries and raw material costs are variable costs.Based on variable costs and the production rate, the short-run costs are increasing or falling. If a company manages its short-term costs well over time, the desired long-term costs and goals will more likely be achieved.Blue Inc. uses LIFO inventory costing. At January 1, 2020, inventory was $217,208 at both cost and market value. At December 31, 2020, the inventory was $287,675 at cost and $261,060 at market value. Use an allowance account.

Compute the value of price elasticity of supply. If the percentage in quantity supply is 75% and percentage change in price is 55%.
Answer:
Price elasticity of supply = 1.36%
Explanation:
Given the following data;
percentage in quantity supply = 75%
percentage change in price = 55%.
To find the the value of price elasticity of supply;
A price elasticity of supply (PES) can be defined as a measure of the responsiveness of the quantity of a product supplied with respect to a change in price of the product, all things being equal.
Mathematically, the price elasticity of supply is given by the formula;
[tex] Price \; elasticity \; of \; supply = \frac {Percentage \; change \; in \; supply}{Percentage \; change \; in \; price} [/tex]
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] Price \; elasticity \; of \; supply = \frac {75}{55} [/tex]
Price elasticity of supply = 1.36%
Therefore, the degree of elasticity is said to be elastic because the price elasticity of supply (PES) is greater than 1.

To estimate the average time taken to complete the Stat 121 final exam, instructors randomly selected 150 students that had previously taken the course and recorded their time on the test. The instructors then calculated a 98% confidence interval to be (98, 142) minutes. What is the parameter the instructors are trying to estimate?
Answer:
The population mean
Explanation:
The confidence interval gives the probability that a certain population parametwr falls in between a pair values based on the given sample mean and a stated confidence level.
The confidence interval ; (98, 142) gives the pair of interval in which the population mean time taken in stat 121 finals at 98% level of confidence.
Hence, we can be 98% confident that the the population parameter would fall within 98 and 142.
Suppose the U.S. yield curve is flat at 3% and the euro yield curve is flat at 5%. The current exchange rate is $1.4 per euro. What will be the swap rate on an agreement to exchange currency over a 3-year period
Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question.
answer :
3.02 million, 2.96 million, 2.91 million
Explanation:
Determine the swap rate over a 3-year period
swap rate = forward exchange rate * exchange amount
For year 1
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 ) * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 ) * 2.2
= 3.02 million
For year 2
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^2 * 2..2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^2 * 2.2 million
= 2.96378 million
For year 3
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 2.90733 million

= $250 million × 1.47746
= $369,365,000
XYZ Industries makes heavy construction equipment. The standard for a crane calls for 20 direct labor-hours at $24 per direct labor-hour. During a recent period 875 cranes were made. The labor efficiency variance was $1,200 Unfavorable. How many actual direct labor-hours were worked
Answer:
17,550
Explanation:
Labor efficiency variance = Standard rate * (Actual hours - Standard hours)
$1200 = $24 * (Actual hours - 875*20)
50 = Actual hours - 17,500
Actual hours = 17,500 + 50
Actual hours = 17,550
So, the actual direct labor-hours which were worked is 17,550.

Answer: $682,727.27
Explanation:
Sales price is given as $36.80 per pair and variable costs are $27.60 per pair.
Break Even Point in dollars = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio
Fixed costs = Old fixed costs + increase
= 232,500 + 143,000
= $375,500
Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost
Variable costs are to reduce by 40%:
= 36.80 - (27.60 * (1 - 40%))
= $20.24
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Selling price
= 20.24 / 36.80
= 55%
Break Even Point in dollars = 375,500 / 55%
= $682,727.27

Goodwill arises when one firm acquires the net assets of another firm and pays more for those net assets than their current fair value. Suppose that Target Co. had operating income of $1,215,000 and net assets with a fair value of $5,400,000. Takeover Co. pays $8,100,000 for Target Co.’s net assets and business activities.
Required:
a. How much goodwill will result from this transaction?
b. Calculate the ROI for Target Co. based on its present operating income and the fair value of its net assets.
c. Calculate the ROI that Takeover Co. will earn if the operating income of the acquired net assets continues to be $180,000.
d. What reasons can you think of to explain why Takeover Co. is willing to pay $300,000 more than fair value for the net assets acquired from Target Co.?
Answer:
A. $2,700,000
B. 22.5%
C. 2.22%
D. Target Co was a profit making company
Explanation:
a. Calculation to determine How much goodwill will result from this transaction
Goodwill=$8,100,000- $5,400,000
Goodwill=$2,700,000
Therefore the goodwill that will result from this transaction is $2,700,000
b. Calculation to determine the ROI for Target Co.
Using this formula
Return on investment = Operating income / Net assets * 100
Let plug in the formula
Return on investment=$ 1,215,000 /$5,400,000 * 100
Return on investment= 22.5%
Therefore the ROI for Target Co is 22.5%
c. Calculation to determine the ROI that Takeover Co.
Using this formula
Return on investment = Operating income / Net assets * 100
Let plug in the formula
Return on investment= $180,000 / 8,100,000 * 100
Return on investment=2.22%
Therefore the ROI that Takeover Co is 2.22%
d. Based on the information given the reason
why TAKEOVER CO. is willing to pay the amount of $300,000 more than the FAIR VALUE for the NET ASSETS that was ACQUIRED from Target co., was because Target Co was a profit making company.
