Answer:
not profitable
Explanation:
The computation of investment profitable is shown below:-
The present value of the return is
= 30 ÷ 1.25 + 30 ÷ 1.25^2 + 30 ÷ 1.25^3
= 24 + 19.2 + 15.36
= 58.56 < 80
Therefore, the present value for the return is lower than the initial investment so, the investment is not profitable and hence the same is not to be considered
Cost of goods sold is characterized by the following statements
Answer:
The interpretation of the particular context is provided in the subsection below on clarification.
Explanation:
The cost of the products sold has become a reporting liability on either the cash flow statement. The cost of the goods offered for sale includes the cost of materials expenditures and the time to prepare such a component for selling price. The cost of the goods generated is measured using gross profit. Prices of the products sold are also known as selling costs.Bruner Stores wants to have 900 shovels in ending inventory on December 31. Budgeted sales for December are 2,500 shovels. The November 30 inventory was shovels. How many shovels should Benson Stores purchase for December?
Answer: 2,900 shovels
Explanation:
Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Total Inventory Purchased - Sales
900 = 500 + Total produced - 2,500
Total Purchased = 900 + 2,500 - 500
Total purchased = 2,900 shovels
NB; There was no beginning balance in your question so I gave a random figure of 500 units. Use the equation if the figure is different.
Gilberto Company currently manufactures 60,000 units per year of one of its crucial parts. Variable costs are $2.30 per unit, fixed costs related to making this part are $60,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $45,000 per year. Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys the part. Gilberto is considering buying the part from a supplier for a quoted price of $3.50 per unit guaranteed for a three-year period. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 60,000 and buying 60,000 units. Should the company continue to manufacture the part, or should it buy the part from the outside supplier?
Answer:
the costs of producing the parts is $12,000 less than buying them from an outside vendor
Explanation:
production costs (60,000 units)
variable $2.30 per unit
fixed (avoidable) $1 per unit
fixed (unavoidable) $0.75 per unit
total $4.05 per unit
price from outside supplier $3.50 per unit
total incremental cost of buying from outside supplier = (60,000 x $3.50) + (60,000 x $0.75) = $210,000 + $45,000 = $255,000
production costs to manufacture = 60,000 x $4.05 = $243,000
the costs of producing the parts is $12,000 less than buying them from an outside vendor
A manufacturer of tiling grout has supplied the following data: Kilograms produced and sold 380,000 Sales revenue $ 2,736,000 Variable manufacturing expense $ 1,349,000 Fixed manufacturing expense $ 336,000 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 399,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 372,000 Net operating income $ 280,000 The company's break-even in unit sales is closest to:
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 272,308 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable manufacturing expense $ 1,349,000
Variable selling and administrative expense $ 399,000
Total variable cost= 1,748,000
Fixed manufacturing expense $ 336,000
Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 372,000
Total fixed costs= 708,000
First, we need to calculate the unitary selling price and unitary variable cost:
Unitary selling price= 2,736,000/380,000= $7.2
Unitary variable cost= 1,748,000/380,000= $4.6
Now, to calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 708,000 / (7.2 - 4.6)
Break-even point in units= 272,308 units

Houston, Inc., planned and actually manufactured 200,000 units of its single product in 2017, its first year of operation. The variable manufacturing cost was $24 per unit produced. The variable operating (nonmanufacturing) cost was $9 per unit sold. Planned and actual fixed manufacturing costs were $600,000.Planned and actual fixed operating (nonmanufacturing) costs totaled $370,000. Houston sold 100,000 units of a product at $45 per unit.
Houston?s 2017 operating income using absorption costing is
(a) $530,000
(b) $230,000
(c) $600,000
(d) $900,000
(e) none of these
Answer:
(a) $530,000
Explanation:
Sales = 100,000 units for $45 per unit = $4,500,000
Less: Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of manufacturing = 100,000 units for $27 per unit = $2,700,000
Variable cost at $24 per unit
Fixed [tex]\frac{600,000}{200,000} = 3[/tex] per unit
Gross income = $1,800,000
Less: Non Manufacturing Expense
Variable = 100,000 units at $9 per unit = $900,000
Fixed = $370,000
Total Non manufacturing expense = $1,270,000
Operating Income as per absorption costing = $1,800,000 - $1,270,000 = $530,000
Under absorption costing method everything expect the non manufacturing fixed expense are consumed on per unit basis, but fixed non manufacturing fixed expense are completely absorbed as are not incurred for manufacturing thus, not charged to finished goods but only to goods sold.

The following information is available for a company's cost of sales over the last four months.Month Units sold Cost of salesJanuary 400 $ 31,000February 800 $ 37,000March 1,600 $ 49,000April 2,400 $ 61,000Using the high-low method, the estimated total fixed cost is:A. $25,000.B. $30,000.C. $13,692.D. $100,000.E. $50,000.
Answer:
Fixed costs= $25,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
January 400 $ 31,000
February 800 $ 37,000
March 1,600 $ 49,000
April 2,400 $ 61,000
To calculate the fixed costs, first, we need to determine the unitary variable cost:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (61,000 - 31,000) / (2,400 - 4,000)
Variable cost per unit= $15
Now, we can calculate the fixed costs:
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 61,000 - (15*2,400)
Fixed costs= $25,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 31,000 - (15*400)
Fixed costs= $25,000

"In 2020, a customer buys a 3% U.S. Government bond maturing in 2024 at 102. The customer elects to amortize the bond premium for tax purposes. If the bond is sold after 2 years, its cost basis at that time is:"
Answer: A. 101
Explanation:
Amortization is done on the premium of the bond if elected to be done by the owner.
Bonds at par are worth 100 so a 102 bond has a premium of 2.
If amortized, this premium will have to be amortized over the period till maturity which in this case is 4 years.
Amortization per year = 2 points / 4 years
= 0.5
In 2 years the amortization would therefore be 1 point.
Cost basis of Bond = 102 - 1
= 101

Face value is $500,000
Discount (52,970)
Selling Price of bond $447,030
Answer:
the bond discount = face value - market value
market value = PV of face value + PV of coupon payments
PV of face value = $500,000 / (1 + 7%)²⁰ = $129,209.50
PV of coupon payments = $30,000 x 10.594 (PV annuity factor, 7%, 20 periods) = $317,820
market value = $447,029.50

You purchased a zero-coupon bond one year ago for $283.83. The market interest rate is now 9 percent. Assume semiannual compounding. If the bond had 15 years to maturity when you originally purchased it, what was your total return for the past year?
Answer:
2.73%
Explanation:
Price of Zero Coupon Bond now = 1,000 / (1 + 0.09 / 2)^28
Price of Zero Coupon Bond now = 1,000 / (1 + 0.09 / 2)^28
Price of Zero Coupon Bond now = 1,000 / 3.4297
Price of Zero Coupon Bond now = $291.57
Rate of Return = (291.57 - 283.83) / 283.83
Rate of Return = 2.73%

Answer:
Option C: 4%
Explanation:
Asset allocation simply means the investors allocation of resources in acquiring a mix of assets for his portfolio that produce the best risk-return balance based on investors objectives or profile
Excess return is the excess return from an investment over another investment used in comparison usually a risk free investment such as a treasury bill
Here we will try to determine the asset allocation's contribution to the excess return.
Contribution of asset allocation across markets to total excess return is calculated by the formula =
Weight of bonds - Weight of Lehman's brothers index(bemchmark) for bonds x Lehman brothers index(benchmark) return of bonds + Weight of stocks - Weight of S&p 500 index(benchmark) for stocks x s &p 500 (benchmark)return for stocks
= (0.10 - 0.50) x 0.05 + (0.90 - 0.50) x 0.15

Also new prediction could be taken in consideration due to which it is costly and time consuming process
Therefore for initiated the first time, the zero based budgeting is used
Having recently graduated, Jack and Jill just started working for the same company. The company has offered each of them a retirement savings plan (e.g., an Individual Retirement Annuity, sometimes called an IRA) in which for each year that they save $5000 in the retirement plan, the company will also contribute $5000 to their plan. Contributions to the plan, if any, are made at the end of each year, and the money in the plan is invested in a broad index of stocks. Jill has decided to start the plan immediately-contributing $5000 at the end of each year for the next 30 years. Jack has decided postpone his starting the plan for 6 years because of his loan payments for a Tesla. Thus, Jack will make his first contribution to the plan in year 7. Use Excel to answer the following:
(a) If the return each year is exactly 10%, how much will Jill have in the account at the beginning of year 31?
(b) If the return each year is exactly 10%, how much will Jack have in the account at the beginning of year 31? (Recall Jack only contributed for 25 years)
(c) Suppose that instead the returns alternate between 30% and-10% (i.e., 30% for year 1, -10% for year 2, 30% for year 3, -10% for year 4, 30% for year 5, etc. Observe that the average return is 10%. How much will Jill have in the account at the beginning of year 31?
(d) If, similar to (c), the returns alternate between 30% and -10%, how much will Jack have in the account at the beginning of year 31?
(e) What is the difference between your answers to (a) and (b)? Also what is the difference between your answers (c) and (d)? What insight does this give?
(f) What is the difference between your answers to (a) and (c)? Also what is the difference between your answers (b) and (d)? What insight does this give?
Answer:
see attached
Explanation:
Please note that Jack foregoes contributions for 6 years, so only contributes for 24 years, not 25.
Per the attached spreadsheet, the account balances and differences at the end of year 30 (beginning of year 31) are ...
a) $822,470.11
b) $442,486.63
c) $645,266.45
d) $377,475.15
e) a-b $379,983.48
c-d $267,791.31
Jack takes quite a hit by not investing early. He could have increased his balance by about 86% (constant 10%) or 71% (alternating returns) had he started when Jill did. Ultimately, his Tesla costs him in excess of $260,000.
f) a-c $177,203.66
b-d $65,011.49
The alternating returns year to year mean the average rate for the annuity is lower than the highest return and higher than the lowest return. Over the long term, it tends toward the geometric mean of the annual rates. Here, that limit value is about √(1.30·0.90) -1 ≈ 8.17%. The returns realized by Jack and Jill in this scenario are 8.88% and 8.71%, respectively. (Jill's is lower because of the longer term.)
_____
Comment on average return
The alternating 30%, -10% returns cannot be averaged by adding them together and dividing by 2. Rather, the interest rate that corresponds to the resulting amount must be computed based on actual results.
In an effort to capture the large jet market, Wright Brothers Aviation invested $12 billion developing its 1903A, which is capable of carrying 800 passengers. The plane has a list price of $170 million. In discussing the plane, Wright Brothers Aviation stated that the company would break even when 170 1903As were sold.
a. Assuming the break-even sales figure given is the accounting break-even, what is the cash flow per plane? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 32.)
b. Wright Brothers Aviation promised its shareholders a return of 30 percent on the investment. If sales of the plane continue in perpetuity, how many planes must the company sell per year to deliver on this promise? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
c. Suppose instead that the sales of the 1903A last for only 10 years. How many planes must Wright Brothers Aviation sell per year to deliver the same rate of return? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a) $70,588,235 per plane
b) 51 planes per year
c) 54.99 planes
Explanation:
initial investment $12,000 million
unit price $170 million
break even point = 170 x $170 million = $28,900 million
cash flow per plane = initial cost / break even number = $12,000 million / 170 units = $70,588,235 per plane
$12,000 million x 30% = $3,600 million in returns
$3,600,000,000 / $70,588,235 per plane = 51 planes per year
if the project lasts only 10 years, then its yearly returns = $12,000 / 3.09154 (PV annuity factor, 30%, 10 periods) = $3,881,560,606
number of planes sold per year = $3,881,560,606 / $70,588,235 per plane = 55 planes

Adams Manufacturing allocates overhead to production on the basis of direct labor costs. At the beginning of the year, Adams estimated total overhead of $363,800; materials of $404,000 and direct labor of $214,000. During the year Adams Incurred $386,400 in materials costs, $382 200 in overhead costs and $218,000 In direct labor costs. Compute the amount of under- or overapplied overhead for the year.
A) $11600 overapplied.
B) $18,400 overapplied.
C) $11,600 underapplied
D) $18,400 underapplied.
E) $4.200 underapplied.
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated:
Overhead= $363,800
Direct labor= $214,000
Actual:
$382,200 in overhead costs
$218,000 direct labor costs
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 363,800/214,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.7 per direct labor dollar
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor costs:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.7*218,000
Allocated MOH= $370,600
Finally, we can determine the under/over allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 382,200 - 370,600
Under/over applied overhead= $11,600 underallocated
Oakleaf Manufacturing incurs costs of $75 ($67 variable and $8 fixed) to make a product that normally sells for $120. A customer offers to buy 4,200 units for $70 each. Assuming Oakleaf has adequate manufacturing capacity, it should
Answer:
Accept the offer because it will generate incremental net income of $12,600
Explanation:
If Oak accepts the offer, its incremental revenue would be;
4,200 × $70 = $294,000
Its incremental cost would be ;
4,200 × $67 = $281,400
Incremental net net income for the order would be ;
$294,000 - $281,400 = $12,600. Accept the offer.
Gold Company uses a plantwide overhead rate with machine hours as the allocation base. Use the following information to solve for the amount of machine hours estimated per unit of product RST.
Direct material cost per unit of RST $15
Total estimated manufacturing overhead $300,000
Total cost per unit of RST $80
Total estimated machine hours 150,000 MH
Direct labor cost per unit of RST $23
A. 21 MH per unit of RST.
B. 2 MH per unit of RST.
C. 20 MH per unit of RST.
D. 37.5 MH per unit of RST.
E. 38 MH per unit of RST.
Answer:
A. 21 MH per unit of RST
Explanation:
Total cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead
$80 = $15 + $23 + Overhead
Overhead = $80 - $15 - $23
Overhead = $42
Plant-wide overhead rate = Total estimated manufacturing overhead / Total estimated machine hours
Plant-wide overhead rate =$300,000 / 150,000 machine hours
Plant-wide overhead rate =$2 per machine hours
Machine hour per unit of RST = Overhead per unit of RST / Plant wide overhead rate
Machine hour per unit of RST = $42/$2
Machine hour per unit of RST = 21 machine hour per unit of RST
Thus, the machine hour per unit of RST is 21 Machine Hour per unit of RST.

Answer:
Production= 530,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning Inventory= 96,000
Ending Inventory= 66,000
Sales= 560,000 units
To calculate the production required, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 560,000 + 66,000 - 96,000
Production= 530,000 units

CCA for year 2 is $164,062.50
Explanation:
Total cost of machine = $750,000
CCA rate = 25%
CCA in year 1 = (Total cost / 2) * CCA rate
CCA in year 1 = ($750,000/2)*0.25
CCA in year 1 = $93,750
For year 2, CCA = (Total cost - CCA in year 1) *CCA rate
For year 2, CCA = ($750,000 - $93,750)*0.25
For year 2, CCA = $164,062.50
Hence, CCA for year 2 is $164,062.50
A business tenant pays 2% of his total gross sales volume as rent, with a minimum base rental of $1,000 per month. In the past year, his sales totaled $435,000. How much rent did he pay?
Answer:
$12,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of rent he paid.
First step is to calculate his sales amount for the year using this formula
Sales = Percentage of total gross sales volume× Sales amount
Let plug in the formula
Sales =2%×$435,000
Sales=$8,700
Second step is to calculate his minimum base rental using this formula
Minimum base rental = Numbers of month × Monthly payment
Let plug in the formula
Minimum base rental= 12 months ×$1,000 per month
Minimum base rental=$12,000
Based on the calculation his minimum annual base rent will be $12,000 which is higher than tha amount of $8,700 which means that the tenants paid the amount of $12,000.
Therefore the amount he paid for his rent will be $12,000.
