Answer:
1) Greece
2) Switzerland
3) 5 barrels of oil
3) 1/10 crates of olive
4) B. 12 barrels of oil per crate.
Explanation:
A) Greece forgoes a lesser amount of oil barrels to make the same amount of olive as Switzerland, so it has a comparative advantage in making olive.
B) Switzerland will save more oil if it doesn't produce olives than Greece would save, so it has a comparative advantage in producing barrels of oil.
C) since Greece produces one crate of olive with 5 barrels of oil, it will only gain in any trade trading more than 5 barrels of oil for every crates of olive.
D) since Switzerland produces 1 crate of olive with 10 barrels of oil, it will only gain in a trade trading 1/10 crates of olive for one barrel of oil.
E) only option B will satisfy both countries.

Accumulated
Depreciation-Equipment 460,000 540,000
a) $41,800.
b) $36,000.
c) $30,200.
d) $48,000.
e) $84,000.
Answer:
The correct answer is (a) $41,800.
Explanation:
Solution:
Given that:
The first step taken is to calculate for depreciation on sold equipment:
Amount($)
Accumulated depreciation in Year -1 (a) = 540000
Depreciation for the year 2 (b) = 48000
Accumulated depreciation to be in year 2 c=(a+b)=588000
Reported accumulated depreciation in year 2(d)=460000
Thus,
Depreciation on sold Equipment e= (c-d) = 128000
Now,
The second step is to calculate sale proceeds:
Cost (a)= 164000
Depreciation(b) =128000
The written dawn value c=(a-b) = 36000
Gain on sale of equipment (d)=5800
The Sale Price (c+d)=41800
Therefore, the sale of the equipment is $41,800

Department E had 4,000 units in Work in Process, that were 40% completed at the beginning of the period, at a cost of $12,500. 14,000 units of direct materials were added during the period, at a cost of $28,700. 15,000 units were completed during the period, and 3,000 units were 75% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $32,450, and factory overhead was $18,710. The number of equivalent units of production for the period for materials, if the average cost method is used to cost inventories was:____________.a. 15,650b. 18,000c. 17,250
d. 17,700
Answer:
Total equivalent units= 17,250 units
Explanation:
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required to a complete a set of work is done in the period under consideration.So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Equivalent units = Degree of completion× units of inventory
Item units Equivalent unit
Completed 15,000 100%× 15,000 = 15,000
Closing inventory 3,000 75%× 3,000 = 2,250
Total equivalent units 17,250
Total equivalent units= 17,250 units
Suppose Lisa's utility function is 4XY, where X is the consumption of beer and Y is consumption of pizza. For this utility function, the marginal utility of X is given by MUX=4Y, and the marginal utility of Y is given by MUY=4X .
a. Suppose Lisa wants to obtain a utility level of 48 utils. For each of the following, calculate the consumption of pizza (Y) that corresponds with the given consumption of beer (X) when U=48 .
i. Bundle 1: Beer = 2; Pizza = __________
ii. Bundle 2: Beer = 3; Pizza = __________
iii. Bundle 3: Beer = 4; Pizza = __________
iv. Bundle 4: Beer = 12; Pizza = ____________
Answer:
Bundle 1: Beer = 2; Pizza = 6
Bundle 2: Beer = 3; Pizza = 4
Bundle 3: Beer = 4; Pizza = 3
Bundle 4: Beer = 12; Pizza = 1
Explanation:
Given that;
Lisa utility function UF(X,Y) = 4XY
where;
X = beer
Y = Pizza
[tex]MU_X = 4Y[/tex]
[tex]MU_Y = 4X[/tex]
The utility level = 48
so, UF(X,Y) = 4XY
putting different values of X (i.e beer ) given to us in this equation, we can calculate the values of Y(i.e pizza) to fulfill the utility
So; when X (beer) = 2
48 = 4×2×Y
48 = 8Y
Y = 48/8
Y = 6
Thus, Bundle 1: Beer = 2; Pizza = 6
when X (beer) = 3
48 = 4×3×Y
48 = 12 Y
Y = 48/12
Y = 4
Thus; Bundle 2: Beer = 3; Pizza = 4
when X (beer) = 4
48 = 4×4×Y
48 = 16 Y
Y = 48/16
Y = 3
Thus; Bundle 3: Beer = 4; Pizza = 3
when X(beer) = 12
48 = 4×12×Y
48 = 48 Y
Y = 48/48
Y = 1
Thus; Bundle 4: Beer = 12; Pizza = 1
You want to invest in a riskless project in Sweden. The project has an initial cost of SKr3.86 million and is expected to produce cash inflows of SKr1.76 million a year for three years. The project will be worthless after three years. The expected inflation rate in Sweden is 3.2 percent while it is 2.8 percent in the U.S. A risk-free security is paying 4.1 percent in the U.S. The current spot rate is $1 = SKr7.7274.
Required:
1. What is the net present value of this project in Swedish krona if the International Fisher effect applies?
O SKr1,087,561
O SKr958,029
O SKr701,458
O SKr823,333
O SKr978,177
Answer:
SKr978,177
Explanation:
Note: Find attached the attached excel file for the full calculation of the net present value of this project in Swedish krona.
Applying International Fisher effect, the risk-free rate of return in Sweden is calculated as follows:
USRF = Risk-free rate of return in the US = 4.1%, or 0.041
USEI = Expected inflation in the US = 2.8%, or 0.028
SWRF = Risk-free rate of return in Sweden = ?
SWEI = Expected inflation in Sweden = 3.2%, or 0.032
Applying International Fisher effect, we have:
USRF - USEI = SWRF - SWEI
Substituting for the values, we have:
0.041 - 0.028 = SWRF - 0.032
0.013 = SWRF - 0.032
SWRF = 0.045
The SWRF of 0.045 as the discount rate to calculate the discounting factor in the attached excel file.
Mobility Partners makes wheelchairs and other assistive devices. For years it has made the rear wheel assembly for its wheelchairs. A local bicycle manufacturing firm, Trailblazers, Inc., offered to sell these rear wheel assemblies to Mobility. If Mobility makes the assembly, its cost per rear wheel assembly is as follows (based on annual production of 2,000 units):
Direct materials $ 25
Direct labor 53
Variable overhead 16
Fixed overhead 47
Total $ 141
Trailblazers offered to sell the assembly to Mobility for $110 each. The total order would amount to 2,000 rear wheel assemblies per year, which Mobility's management will buy instead of make if Mobility can save at least $10,000 per year. Accepting Trailblazers's offer would eliminate annual fixed overhead of $40,000.
Required:
(a) Prepare a schedule that shows the differential costs on the 2,000 rear wheel assemblies order. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Input all amounts as positive values. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
(b) Should Mobility make rear wheel assemblies or buy them from Trailblazers?
Answer:
Net savings from buying $ 8,000
Decision : The company should assemble
Explanation:
Unit variable cost of making = 25+ 53+ 16+ 47 = $94
$
Total variable cost ( $94 × 2,000) = 188,000
Total cost of external purchase ($110× 2000) 220,000
Extra variable cost from external purchase (32,000 )
add Savings in fixed overheads 40,000
Net savings from buying 8,000
Note that the fixed cost were not included because they not relevant for the decision. They would be incurred either way.
Decision.
Since the management wishes tom save at least $10,000 per year but the analysis above shows that the company can only save $8,000, then Mobility should not buy the product but rather assemble them
Ellie has been working for an engineering firm and earning an annual salary of $80,000. She decides to open her own engineering business. Her annual expenses will include $15,000 for office rent, $3,000 for equipment rental, $1,000 for supplies, $1,200 for utilities, and a $35,000 salary for a secretary/bookkeeper. Ellie will cover her start-up expenses by cashing in a $20,000 certificate of deposit on which she was earning annual interest of $500.
Ellie's annual implicit costs will equala. $55,200.b. $75,200.c. $80,500.d. $165,700.
Answer:
c. $80,500
Explanation:
The computation of the implicit cost is shown below:
Implicit cost = Annual salary earned + annual interest earned on certificate of deposit
= $80,000 + $500
= $80,500
We simply added the annual salary earned and annual interest earned i.e income that is foregone so that the implicit cost could arrive
All other information which is mentioned in the question is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
Ikerd Company applies manufacturing overhead to jobs on the basis of machine hours used. Overhead costs are estimated to total $300,000 for the year, and machine usage is estimated at 125,000 hours.
For the year, $322,000 of overhead costs are incurred and 130,000 hours are used.
Required:
A) Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year.B) What is the amount of under- or overapplied overhead at December 31st?C) Prepare the adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold.
Answer:
A. $2.40 per Machine hour
B. Underapplied = $10,000
C. cost of goods sold (debit) $10,000 , overheads (credit) $10,000
Explanation:
A) Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year
Overhead Rate = Total Fixed Overheads / Budgeted Activity
= $300,000 / 125,000 Machine hours
= $2.40 per Machine hour.
B) What is the amount of under- or over applied overhead at December 31st?
Under Applied Overheads = Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads
Over Applied Overheads = Actual Overheads < Applied Overheads
Actual Overheads = $322,000
Applied Overheads = $2.40 × 130,000 hours = $ 312,000
Underapplied = $10,000
C) Prepare the adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold.
cost of goods sold (debit) $10,000
overheads (credit) $10,000
Answer:
A. The manufacturing overhead rate for the year is $2.40
B. The amount of under- or overapplied overhead at December 31st is $10,000
C. The adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold would be as follows:
Debit Credit
cost of goods sold $10,000
Manufacturing overhead 10,000
Explanation:
A. To calculate the manufacturing overhead rate for the year we would have to use the following formula:
manufacturing overhead rate=Estimated overhead cost/Estimated machine hours usage
manufacturing overhead rate=$300,000/125,000
manufacturing overhead rate=$2.40
B. To Calculate the amount of under applied or over applied overhead cost we would have to use the following formula:
manufacturing overhead cost applied=Total machine hours used*manufacturing overhead rate
manufacturing overhead cost applied=130,000*$2.40
manufacturing overhead cost applied=$312,000
under- or overapplied overhead cost=Actual manufactured overhead costs-Manufacturing overhead cost applied
under- or overapplied overhead cost= $322,000-$312,000
under- or overapplied overhead cost= $10,000
C. The adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold would be as follows:
Debit Credit
cost of goods sold $10,000
Manufacturing overhead 10,000
Turk Manufacturing is considering purchasing two machines. Each machine costs $9,000 and will produce cash flows as follows:
End of Year Machine A Machine B
1 $ 5,000 $ 1,000
2 4,000 2,000
3 2,000 11,000
Turk Manufacturing uses the net present value method to make the decision, and it requires a 15% annual return on its investments. The present value factors of 1 at 15% are: 1 year, 0.8696; 2 years, 0.7561; 3 years, 0.6575.
Which machine should Turk purchase?
A) Both machines are acceptable, but B should be selected because it has the greater net present value.
B) Only Machine A is acceptable.
C) Both machines are acceptable, but A should be selected because it has the greater net present value.
D) Neither machine is acceptable.
E) Only Machine B is acceptable.
Answer:
B) Only Machine A is acceptable.
Explanation:
NPV of Machine A = $9,000 - ($5,000 * 0.8696) - ($4,000 * 0.7561) - ($2,000 * 0.6575) = $312.60
NPV of Machine B = $9,000 - ($1,000 * 0.8696) - ($2,000 * 0.7561) - ($11,000 * 0.6575) = - $614.30
Since Machine B NPV is negative at minus $614.30, Machine B is therefore not acceptable. Only Machine A is acceptable because it has a positive MPV of $312.60.
The correct option is therefore B) Only Machine A is acceptable.
Turk manufacturing company should purchase only the Machine B.
Computation of PV of cash-flow for Machine A
Year Cash Flow PV Factor PV of Cash Flow
0 -9000 1 -9000
1 5000 0.8696 4348
2 4000 0.761 3044
3 2000 0.6575 1315
NPV -$293
Computation of PV of cash-flow for Machine B
Year Cash Flow PV Factor PV of Cash Flow
0 -9000 1 -9000
1 1000 0.8696 869.6
2 2000 0.761 1522
3 11000 0.6575 7232.5
NPV $624.1
Here, the Machine A has negative NPV, thus, should not be accepted. Machine B has positive NPV, thus, it should be accepted.Therefore, the Option E is correct because Turk manufacturing company should purchase only the Machine B.

TravelLite and FareLine compete as online travel agencies. Historically, TravelLite has focused more on flights, whereas FareLine has focused on hotel bookings. The following amounts were reported by the two companies in 2015. (in millions) Net Income Total Assets Total Liabilities Total Revenues TravelLite $ 1,080 $ 9,010 $ 6,400 $ 6,430 FareLine 3,020 8,490 4,270 7,660 Required: Calculate each company’s net profit margin expressed as a percent. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
16.80% and 39.43%
Explanation:
The formula to compute the net profit margin is shown below:
Net profit margin = Net income ÷ Total revenues × 100
For Travel lite, the net profit margin is
= $1,080 ÷ $6,430 × 100
= 16.80%
And, for fare line, the net profit margin is
= $3,020 ÷ $7,660 × 100
= 39.43%
By dividing the net income or net profit by the total revenues we can get the net profit margin or we can say it is profit percentage that is earned by the company
It is always expressed in percentage

You have a team of four employees. Liam, the financial analyst, is from Ireland, and he knows everything there is to know about protecting and growing donations. Destiny, the events planner, is from Charleston, South Carolina, and she is a genius at handling all the details of a fundraiser. Andry is from Madagascar, and he writes all of the content for your fundraising letters and website. Finally, Marjorie is from Berkeley, California, and she prepares profiles of potential donors and makes suggestions about what types of fundraising events might appeal to them.
Although all of your employees are very good at what they do, the group has had some problems in the past. Andry and Marjorie have decided that they will write no more than one discrete piece of work per day, even if they are capable of writing more. If Andry writes more than one part of a website, Marjorie torments him by sending him a stream of instant messages questioning his mental abilities. Destiny and Marjorie tend to disagree about what kinds of events will appeal to donors, and they have had some heated arguments in the past. Marjorie usually wins these fights, which is making Destiny very resentful. Liam has told you that the group needs a strong leader who will make sure that the organization's goals are met.
After reading about the history of management in your textbook, you find yourself particularly fascinated by the human relations approach to management.
The theories seem so modern, but could they really be used in today's world? You decide to put them to the test.
Liam's idea that a strong leader could pull the group together is very similar to Chester Barnard's concept of _________ in organizations.
Finally, you consider how to start solving the problems in the organization. What would Mary Parker Follett recommend you do in this situation? Check all that apply:
a) Try to understand why Andry and Marjorie feel that one piece of writing per day is an acceptable work output. Be a role model in establishing new productivity norms, but recognize that your actions may not have much of an impact on them.
b) Get Destiny and Marjorie into one room. Have them present their visions of what a fundraising event should be, and then brainstorm with them to find ways to achieve both of their goals.
c) Remember that you must have power with, not over, your team. So when you ask Andry and Marjorie to write more, be sure to give them facts and information they need to understand the reason for your request.
d) Be sure that your orders are understood and that your employees have the ability to carry them out. Match your directions with the overall strategy of the organization; at the same time, help people achieve their personal goals.
Answer: 1. Acceptance Theory to Authority
2. All of the Above.
Explanation:
1. Acceptance Theory to Authority
According to Chester Barnard's concept of Acceptance Theory of Authority, people respond more to in an Organisation to a strong leader whose authority they accept. The main premise here is that the leader's authority has to be accepted and people only usually respect strong leaders. A weaker leader will not be able to bring the team together because the employees will not listen to them as much as they should because they have not accepted their authority.
2. According to Mary Parker Follett, all the above options are correct for initiation in this scenario.
Mary Parker Follett came up Principles of Coordination to help companies better themselves. Some of the principles she came up with cover the options.
A. This has to do with the Reciprocal Relationship Principle of Coordination. Mary Follet argued that there must be a reciprocal relationship at work because people work together. This means that should you start to work harder, it will influence Andry and Majorie to work harder as well.
B. Falls under the Principle of Direct Contact.
According to this principle, Heads of Department should meet and discuss their problems since they are closer to the situation on the ground. Destiny and Majorie should therefore meet and discuss a way forward.
C. Falls under the Early Stages section of Coordination.
Here Mary Follett believed that managers should not unilaterally come up with strategy but rather consult the members of their team and talk to them so that they understand why something must be done.
D. Also falls under the Early Stages section.
Mary also believed that as well as consulting your team to come up with strategy, that strategy needs to be aligned to the goals of the organizations. By discussing with employees before a strategy is implemented, you make sure that they understand it as well and they will then know if or not they are able to perform and voice any objections they may have.

Product R can be processed beyond the split-off point for an additional cost of $26,000 and can then be sold for $105,000. Product J can be processed beyond the split-off point for an additional cost of $38,000 and can then be sold for $117,000. Product C can be processed beyond the split-off point for an additional cost of $12,000 and can then be sold for $57,000
Required: Which products should be processed beyond the split-off point?
A. R $3,000 profit
B. J 8,000 profit
C (3,000) loss
So R and J should be processed beyond the split off point. (Show computations)
Answer:
Products R and J should be processed beyond split-off point
Explanation:
In determining whether or not a product should be further processed,the incremental benefit of further processing should be determined as follows:
incremental benefit/(cost)=sales value after split-additional cost of further processing-sales value at split-off point:
Product R =$105,000-$26,000-$76,000=$3,000
Product J=$117,000-$38,000-$71,000=$8,000
Product C=$57,000-$12,000-$48,000=-$3000
Product R and J should be processed further as they give profit of $3,000 and $8,000 respectively.
Product C should not be further processed as loss of $3,000 would result from that.
Pitt Enterprises manufactures jeans. All materials are introduced at the beginning of the manufacturing process in the Cutting Department. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the manufacturing process. As the cutting of material is completed, the pieces are immediately transferred to the Sewing Department. Information for the Cutting Department for the month of May follows. Work in Process, May 1 (56,500 units, 100% complete for direct materials, 40% complete with respect to conversion costs; includes $83,500 of direct material cost; $47,050 of conversion costs). Units started in May 238,000 Units completed in May 213,000 Work in Process, May 31 (81,500 units, 100% complete for direct materials; 15% complete for conversion costs). Costs incurred in May Direct materials $ 772,280 Conversion costs $ 1,161,810 If Pitt Enterprises uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for direct materials and conversion respectively for May.
Answer:
Equivalent units for material = 294,500 units
Equivalent units for conversion cost=225,225 units
Explanation:
Equivalent units for conversion cost
completed unit = 100% × 213,000
Closing work in progress = (15% ×81,500)
Equivalent units for conversion cost = (100% × 213,000) + ( 100% × 213,000)
= 225,225 units
Equivalent unit for Materials
completed unit = 100% × 213,000
Closing work in progress = (100% ×81,500)
(100% × 213,000)+ (100% ×81,500) = 294,500

1. Answer the below question based upon the following information on Fitbit: Fitbit Year0 Year1 RRF 2% Initial Investment -$5,000,000 RM 9% Units of Sales 150,000 Investment Banking Fee or Floating Rate 7% Price per Unit $400 Existing Fitbit Shares 2,000,000 Variable Cost per Unit $250 New IPO Shares 36,500,000 Fixed Cost $1,000,000 Pre-IPO Value $91,100,000 Depreciation $1,500,000 Tax Rate 35% What is the price per share for the Fitbit IPO?
Answer:
$8.53
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Total sales
= 150,000 × $400
= $60,000,000
Variable = $37,500,000
Fixed cost = $1,000,000
Depreciation = $1,500,000
Tax rate = 35% = 0.35
Net Income = (Sales - Variable - Fixed cost - Depreciation) (1 -Tax rate)
= ( $60,000,000 - $37,500,000 - $1,000,000 - $1,500,000)(1 -0.35)
= $13,000,000
Price per share
= Net income ÷ Existing Fit-bit shares
= $13,000,000 ÷ 2,000,000
= $6.5
Total IPO value = Pre-IPO value + Post-IPO value
= [$91,100,000 + (6.5 × 36,500,000)] ÷ ( 2,000,000 + 36,500,000)
= $8.53
We simply applied the above formula
Lucy and Fred want to begin saving for their baby's college education. They estimate that they will need $120,000 in eighteen years. If they are able to earn 5% per annum (compounded annually), how much must be deposited at the end of each of the next eighteen years to fund the education? (The future value of a single sum for 18 periods at 5% is 2.40662; The future value of an ordinary annuity of 1 for 18 periods at 5% is 28.13238).
Answer:
$4,265.55
Explanation:
Future value = $120,000
Interest rate (i) = 5%
Annual deposit = ?
Time period (n) = 18 year
Since deposit are to be made at the beginning of each year, hence the relevant factor table to be used is future value annuity due factor table.
Future value = Annual deposit x future value annuity due factor (i%, n)
120,000 = Annual deposit x FVADF (5%, 18period)
120,000 = Annual deposit x 28.13238
Annual deposit = 120,000/28.13238
=$4,265.547
=$4,265.55
Gilberto Company currently manufactures 40,000 units per year of one of its crucial parts. Variable costs are $1.60 per unit, fixed costs related to making this part are $40,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $30,000 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 $2.70 per unit guaranteed for a three-year period.
Required:
a. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 40,000 and buying 40,000 units. Should the company continue to manufacture the part, or should it buy the part from the outside supplier?
Answer:
It is cheaper to make the part. In three years the company will save $12,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units= 40,000
Variable costs= $1.60 per unit
Fixed costs= $40,000 per year
Gilberto is considering buying the part from a supplier for a quoted price of $2.70 per unit guaranteed for three years.
We need to calculate the total cost of making and buying the part.
Make in-house:
Total cost= 1.6*40,000 + 40,000= $104,000
Buy:
Total cost= 40,000*2.7= $108,000
It is cheaper to make the part. In three years the company will save $12,000.
Crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets can be considered complex because 34) A) factors that affect industry competitiveness are the same from country to country. B) different government policies and economic conditions make the business climate more favorable in some countries than in others. C) the potential for location-based advantages to conducting value chain activities in certain countries. D) buyer tastes and preferences differ among countries and present a challenge for companies concerning. customizing versus standardizing their products and services. E) currency exchange rates among countries are generally fixed and rarely change.
Answer:
Options A, B, C, and E.
(Please check the explanation section before you judge or pick your answer)
Explanation:
The options A, B, C, and E are the options that are considered complex if we want to Craft a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets.
Please take note that if the question asked us to pick which of the options is NOT a inherently complex reason when crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets then we would have picked Option D.
As given in the question, that is option D which says; '' buyer tastes and preferences creates challenges in standardizing products and services." Will not be a reason for crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets is inherently complex.
Countries due to globalization tends to participate in international trades. Competition in the international trade has its advantages as well as its disadvantages or risks.
To trade in the international market, countries must have their individual strategies and Option D above is NOT a inherently complex reason when crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: buyer tastes and preferences differ among countries and present a challenge for companies concerning customizing versus standardizing their products and services.
Explanation:
To begin with, the fact that a company is looking forward to expand its business to other countries needs to be very carefully planned because every business would be manage in different ways in differents areas and that is due to the differences in those countries, in their cultures and social believes as well. That is why, that to craft a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets can be considered complex because of the different preferences and tastes that buyers in those places will have and due to that the company will need to adjust to that type of customer and therefore to customize their product in order to achieve sale's goals.
The Mixed Nuts Division of Yummy Snacks, Inc. had the following operating results last year:
Sales (140,000 pounds of product) $70,000
Variable expenses $42,000
Contribution margin $28,000
Fixed expenses $12,000
Income $16,000
Yummy expects identical operating results in the division this year. The Mixed Nuts Division has the ability to produce and sell 200,000 pounds of product annually. Assume that the Trail Mix Division of Yummy wants to purchase an additional 20,000 pounds of nuts from the Mixed Nuts Division.
Mixed Nuts will be able to increase its profit by accepting any transfer price above:____________.
a) $0.25 per pound
b) $0.08 per pound
c) $0.15 per pound
d) $0.30 per pound
e) $0.10 per pound
Answer:
d) $0.30 per pound
Explanation:
The solution of minimum transfer price is provided below:-
Here, If the transferor division has spare capacity then variable cost per unit is the minimum transfer price also when the division of the transferor sells over variable cost per unit then the division of the transferor receives benefit.
Therefore,
Minimum transfer price = Variable expenses ÷ Pounds of product
= $42,000 ÷ $140,000
= $0.30 per pound
So, we have calculated the minimum transfer price by using the above formula.
Wozniacki and Wilcox form Jewel LLC, with each receiving a one-half interest in the capital and profits of the LLC. Wozniacki receives his one-half interest as compensation for tax planning services he rendered prior to the formation of the LLC. Wilcox contributes $50,000 cash. The value of a one-half capital interest in the LLC (for each of the parties) is $50,000.
How much income does Wozniacki recognize as a result of this transaction, and what is the character of the income?
Answer:
Recognize the $50,000 as a compensation income received.
Explanation:
The reason is that the Compensation of $50,000 that Wozniacki received for the services that he previously used to render which means this whole amount received must be recognized as income.
Some traits of successful individuals in our industry, as mentioned by Aimee Mangold of KOLTER Hospitality included: drive, intelligence, self-confidence, the desire to influence others, relevant knowledge, and honesty/moral character. Unfortunately, these same traits do not apply to other fields outside of the hospitality and tourism industry to any great extent.
O True
O False
Answer:
The correct answer is the second option: False.
Explanation:
To begin with, the fact that those characteristics in individuals in that industry make it more successful does not mean that the industry mentioned is the only one with those characteristics in the individuals. Actually, it is quite understandable to find individuals with those abilities that make an industry to be better than other, that is the case of the technology industry where most of the workers must have those skills in order to achieve the goals that they look for. So that is why that it is false that those traits do not apply to other fields.
has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project (Ignore income taxes.): Investment required in equipment $ 36,500 Annual cash inflows $ 8,600 Salvage value of equipment $ 0 Life of the investment 15 years Required rate of return 10 % The company uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment. The simple rate of return for the investment (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent) is:
Answer:
16.89%
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of simple rate of return for the investment is provided below:-
we need to first find out the accounting profit and depreciation
where
Accounting Profit = Annual Cash Inflow - Depreciation
and
Depreciation = Investment required in equipment ÷ Life of investment
= $36,500 ÷ 15
= $2,433.33
now we will put the value by using the accounting profit formula.
= $8,600 - $2,433.33
= $6,166.67
So,
Simple Rate of Return = Accounting Profit ÷ Initial Investment
= $6,166.67 ÷ $36,500
= 16.89%
Record the following transactions on the books of Crane Co. (Omit cost of goods sold entries.) (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. Record journal entries in the order presented in the problem.) (a) On July 1, Crane Co. sold merchandise on account to Stacey Inc. for $23,380, terms 3/10, n/30. (b) On July 8, Stacey Inc. returned merchandise worth $3,380 to Crane Co. (c) On July 11, Stacey Inc. paid for the merchandise.
Answer:
a. July 1 Accounts Receivable $23380 Dr
Sales Revenue $23380 Cr
b. July 8 Sales Returns $3380 Dr
Accounts Receivable $3380 Cr
c. July 11 Cash $20000 Dr
Accounts Receivable $20000 Cr
Explanation:
a.
The sales are made on credit so the accounts receivable will be debited and the sales revenue will be credited. Assuming that we are using the gross method to record sale, we will record the sale at the invoice price as quoted and will not record it at net of discount amount.
b.
The sales returns are made on July 8 which will reduce the sales revenue. We do this by opening a contra account to sales revenue which is of Sales returns. The increase in sales returns will be debited to this account and the accounts receivable will be reduced and credited by the amount of return made.
c.
As the sales term are 3/10 n/30 which means a 3% discount if payment for credit sales is made within 10 days of sale and the credit term is 30 days. The Crane Co. received the payment from accounts receivable on July 11 which is after the discount period has ended. Thus the accounts receivable will pay the full amount outstanding which is (23380 - 3380) = $20000.

Costs charged to Work in Process in AugustDirect materials $140,000Conversion costs:Direct labor $105,000Overhead applied 148,000Total conversion $253,000Assume materials are added at the start of processing.Required:1. Calculate the equivalent units for the Forming Department for the month of August.2. Find the cost per equivalent of input resource.
Answer:
1. Calculate the equivalent units for the Forming Department for the month of August.
direct materials 60,000 unitsconversion 70,000 units2. Find the cost per equivalent of input resource.
direct materials per unit $2.33conversion cost per unit $3.61Explanation:
beginning WIP 20,000 units:
direct materials 100% = 20,000 equivalent units $80,000
conversion 20% = 4,000 equivalent units $24,000
total $104,000
Units completed and transferred 60,000
Ending WIP = 20,000:
direct materials 100%
conversion costs 70% = 14,000 equivalent units
costs charged:
Direct materials $140,000
Direct labor $105,000
Overhead applied 148,000
equivalent units:
direct materials 60,000 since all materials are added at the beginning
conversion = units started + ending WIP - beginning WIP = 60,000 + 14,000 - 4,000 = 70,000 units
direct materials per unit = total direct materials / equivalent units = $140,000 / 60,000 = $2.33
conversion costs per unit = total conversion costs / equivalent units = $253,000 / 70,000 = $3.61
