Kevin's Company uses a normal costing system, applying overhead using a single plant-wide rate. At the beginning of the year, budgeted (estimated) manufacturing overhead costs totaled $400,000, budgeted direct labor hours totaled 80,000 hours and budgeted machine hours totaled 20,000 hours. At the end of the year, the actual overhead costs recorded totaled $450,000 and actual direct labor hours were 86,000. Kevin's Company's production process is very labor-intensive and therefore uses direct labor hours as the activity base. With this information, what is the assigned (applied) amount of MOH that Sherfield Company assign to production
Answer:
$430,000
Explanation:
MOH recovery rate = Estimated MOH / Estimated direct labor hours
MOH recovery rate = $400,000 / 80,000 hours
MOH recovery rate = $5 per direct labor hours
So, the applied amount of manufacturing overhead rate is $5
Assigned amount of MOH = MOH recovery rate * Actual direct labor hours
Assigned amount of MOH = $5 * 86,000 DLH
Assigned amount of MOH = $430,000

Group of answer choices.
A. the supply curve, resulting in a lower equilibrium price.
B. the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
C. the demand curve, as consumers try to economize because of the shortage.
D. the demand curve, resulting in a price ceiling in the market.
Answer:
B. the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
Explanation:
In this scenario, a severe freeze has damaged the Florida orange crop. Thus, the impact on the market for orange juice will be a leftward shift of the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
An equilibrium price can be defined as the price at which the quantity of goods demanded is equal to the quantity of goods supplied.
Additionally, the equilibrium price is generally said to be stable because at this price, the quantity of goods or services demanded is equal to the quantity of goods or services supplied to the consumers.

7.You invested in long-term corporate bonds and earned 6.1 percent. During that same time period, large-company stocks returned 12.6 percent, long-term government bonds returned 5.7 percent, U.S. Treasury bills returned 4.2 percent, and inflation averaged 3.8 percent. What average risk premium did you earn
Answer: 1.9%
Explanation:
The risk premium is the return that an investment offers over the risk free rate in the market.
The risk free rate is the return on the U.S. Treasury bill in the same period:
Average risk premium = Return on long term corporate bond - Return on U.S. T-bill
= 6.1% - 4.2%
= 1.9%
Which of these is more likely to be true?
A. An adaptor is likely to consider radical innovations
B. An innovator is likely to consider incremental innovations
C. Large companies often find it easier to adopt radical innovations.
D. Innovators will often push for radical innovations.
Answer: D. Innovators will often push for radical innovations.
Explanation:
A radical innovation is one that when made, changes up the way things were being done in the industry that it appears in. For instance, when the first digital camera was made, it changed photography forever.
This is what innovators want. They want to come up with a product that would change the way things are being done and enable them to take over the market.

Bonner Metals wants to issue new 20-year bonds for some much-needed expansion projects. The company currently has 8.5 percent bonds on the market that sell for $959, make semiannual payments, and mature in 16 years. What should the coupon rate be on the new bonds if the firm wants to sell them at par?
Answer: 8.99%
Explanation:
The coupon rate on the new bonds if the firm wants to sell them at par will be calculated thus:
Par value = 1000
Selling value = 959
Maturity = 16 × 2 = 32
Coupon = 8.5% = 8.5% × 1000 = $85
Semiannual PMT = $85/2 = $42.5
The coupon rate on the new bonds will be:
= Rate(32, 42.5, -959, 1000) × 2
= 8.99
Coupon rate = 8.99%

Ajax Inc. was formed on April 25 and elected a calendar year for tax purposes. Ajax paid $13,200 to the attorney who drew up the articles of incorporation and $7,100 to the CPA who advised the corporation concerning the accounting and tax implications of its organization. Ajax began business operations on July 15. To what extent can Ajax deduct its $20,300 organizational costs on its first tax return
Answer: $5510
Explanation:
For organizations cost up to $50,000, there'll be a deduction of $5000. The remaining non deductible expense will then be spread out for 180 months. Here, the non deductible cost will be:
= ($13200 + $7100) - $5000
= $20300 - $5000
= $15300
The capitalized cost will then be:
= $15300 / 180
= $85 per month.
Since there's an ammortization of 6 months from July, then the capitalized cost will be:
= $85 × 6
= $510
Therefore, the amount that should be deducted on its first tax return will be:
= $5000 + $510
= $5510
Assume that the price of the sub sandwiches is $4 and the price of tacos is $2. When Harry's income is $14 he buys two Italian sub sandwiches and three tacos. The last column lists the values of the marginal utility per dollar for tacos when the price of tacos decreases to $1. Complete this statement: As a result of the change in price, the marginal utility of each taco Harry consumes increases and:__________
a. the substitution effect of the price change will cause Harry to buy more tacos if they are a normal good, and fewer tacos if they are an inferior good.
b. the substitution effect will cause Harry to buy another sub because his purchasing power has increased.
c. the substitution effect of the price change will cause Harry to buy more tacos and fewer subs.
d. the substitution effect will cause Harry to buy fewer tacos.
Answer:
c. the substitution effect of the price change will cause Harry to buy more tacos and fewer subs.
Explanation:
Since the price of tacos decreased, subs became relatively more expensive. The substitution effect occurs when a consumer (Harry in this case) changes his consumption habits because the price of the goods changes. In this case, tacos become cheaper, and therefore, Harry will obtain more utils per dollar.
The Aqua Liquid Assets Money Market Mutual Fund has a NAV of $1 per share. During the year, the assets held by this fund appreciated by 1.4 percent. If you had invested $50,000 in this fund at the start of the year, how many shares would you own at the end of the year
Answer:
Missing word "Final shares=? Net asset value=?"
Final shares is computed as follows:
= (Amount invested / NAV per share) * (1 + Fund appreciation)
= ($50,000 / $ 1) * (1 + 0.014)
= $50,000 * 1.014
= $50,700
As know that this is a Money Market Mutual Fund, hence the Net asset value of this fund at the end of the year will be also $1.

The correct option is D.
The viewpoint that business should be privately controlled and not controlled by the government is a perspective of a ________ economy.
Answer:
The viewpoint that business should be privately controlled and not controlled by the government is a perspective of a ____capitalist____ economy.
Explanation:
For example, the US economy provides a good example of a capitalist economy. A capitalist or market economy is also known as capitalism. It is an economic system whereby private individuals or businesses own capital goods or means of production. Therefore, the production of goods and services is based on the market forces of supply and demand. Since individuals and firms fix prices of and decide what goods and services to produce, rather than through central planning by the government, it is also known as a market economy. The opposite is called a command economy, characterized by central government planning.
Ahngram Corp. has 1,000 defective units of a product that cost $3.70 per unit in direct costs and $7.20 per unit in indirect cost when produced last year. The units can be sold as scrap for $4.70 per unit or reworked at an additional cost of $3.30 and sold at full price of $14.10. The incremental net income (loss) from the choice of reworking the units would be:
Answer:
Reowrk:
Effect on income= $10,800 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 1,000
Sell as-is:
Selling price= $4.7
Rework:
Incremental cost= $3.3
Selling price= $14.1
We need to calculate the effect on the income of both options:
Sell as-is:
Effect on income= 4.7*1,000= $47,000 increase
Rework:
Effect on income= 1,000*(14.1 - 3.3)
Effect on income= $10,800 increase

When should a company consider issuing debt instead of equity?
Answer:
Many fast-growing companies would prefer to use debt to support their growth, rather than equity, because it is, arguably, a less expensive form of financing (i.e., the rate of growth of the business's equity value is greater than the debt's borrowing cost).
Explanation:
Answer:
There could be many reasons, but probably the company reached its debt ceiling and is not able to borrow anymore (at acceptable conditions), due to low net cash flow relative to debt service, or low available collateral, or both.
Larger expansions or risky undertakings would also be more likely financed by equity - the expansion might require taking on more debt than the company is currently able to service, and the creditors are not sure if it will also bring sufficient additional EBITDA to service large debt. Similar thing with risky business proposals - it is more logical to finance them through equity, where investors share the hard-to-predict benefits as well as potential losses. If they were to be financed by debt, the loan should in theory carry very high interest to make up for the risk profile of the endeavor. Better to make it an equity investment.
Also, issuing equity improves your balance sheet and enables you to take on more debt. Having more equity could also mean cheaper debt (better interest rates). Debt is considered “senior” to equity, in theory losses should hit investors first and creditors later, so having a larger equity cushion means lower credit risk.
If the company suffered some hard times, they are already starved for cash and on top of that creditors would likely want to reduce their exposure - a perfect storm that could put the company out of business due to lack of liquidity, even when the business model is good in the long term (but who has a crystal ball, eh?). Raising more equity may be their only option.
Three years ago, Kuley invested $32,200. In 2 years from today, he expects to have $50,300. If Kuley expects to earn the same annual return after 2 years from today as the annual rate implied from the past and expected values given in the problem, then in how many years from today does he expect to have exactly $87,200
Answer:
8.17 years(closest to 8 years )
Explanation:
The future value of $50,300, would be accumulated after 5 years of having made the investment(3 years+2 years=5 years)
As a result, we can determine the annual rate of return based on the future value in year 5 using the future value formula below:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
FV=future value=$50,300
PV=amount invested initially=$32,200
r=unknown=annual rate of return
n=5 years
$50,300=$32,200*(1+r)^5
$50,300/$32,200=(1+r)^5
$50,300/$32,200 can be rewritten as ($50,300/$32,200)^1
($50,300/$32,200)^1=(1+r)^5
divide index on both sides by 5
($50,300/$32,200)^(1/5)=1+r
r=($50,300/$32,200)^(1/5)-1
r=9.33%
Our next task is to determine how long( in years) it takes to accumulate a future value of $87,200 from today's point, which means we need to determine the value of the investment today( 3 years after making the investment)
FV=$32,200*(1+9.33%)^3
FV=value of investment today=$42,079.82
Lastly, we can ascertain when $42,079.82 today would become $87,200
$87,200=$42,079.82*(1+9.33%)^n
n=number of years=unknown
$87,200/$42,079.82=(1+9.33%)^n
$87,200/$42,079.82=1.0933^n
take log of both sides
ln ($87,200/$42,079.82)=n ln(1.0933)
n=ln ($87,200/$42,079.82)/ln(1.0933)
n=0.72863604/0.08920065
n=8.17 years( from today, approx 8 years)
