Answer:
Quarter Production
Q1 11000
Q2 62000
Q3 65000
Q4 0
This will generate lower production and inventory cost as it savesthe fixed cost of 30,000 if we produce in the fourth quarter.
Explanation:
First, we construct the formula for the relevant cost:
Holding Cost: $0.50 per shovel
$0.50 x 2 x (Q2-48,000) + $0.50 x (Q1-11,000) = Holding Cost Q2
$0.50 x 1 x (Q3-64,000) = Holding Cost Q3
First, the restrictions:
P1 P2 P3 P4 are Integer
P1 < 65,000
P2 < 65,000
P3 < 65,000
P4 < 65,000
Then, we have the inventory formulas:
I1 = P1 - S1
I2 = P2 + I1 -S2
I3 = P3 + I2 - S3
I4 = P4 + I3 - S4
The holding cost
H1 = I1 x 0.50
H2 = I2 x 0.50
H3 = I3 x 0.50
H4 = I4 x 0.50
The fixed cost
if P1> 0 then FC1 = 30,000
if P2> 0 then FC2 = 30,000
if P3> 0 then FC3 = 30,000
if P4> 0 then FC4 = 30,000
And last,the total cost:
FC1 + H1 +FC2 + H2 +FC3 + H3 +FC4 + H4 = Total Cost
This is the formula we want to minimize
We place this into excel solver and get the answer:
Grand Lips produces a lip balm used for cold-weather sports. The balm is manufactured in a single processing department. No lip balm was in process on May 31, and Grand started production on 20,500 lip balm tubes during June. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process, but conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process. Completed production for June totaled 15,300 units. The June 30 work in process was 30% of the way through the production process. Direct materials costing $4,305 were placed in production during June, and direct labor of $3,320 and manufacturing overhead of $1,738 were assigned to the process.
Required:
a. Draw a time line for Great Lips.
b. use the time line to help you compute the total equivalent units and the cost per equivalent unit for June.
c. Assign total costs to (a) units completed and transferred to Finished Goods and (b) units still in process at June 30.
d. Prepare a T-account for Work in Process Inventory to show activity during June, including the June 30 balance.

Explanation:
Calculation of Equivalent units of Production in respect with Raw Materials and Conversion Costs
1. Materials
Ending Work In Process (5,200 × 100%) 5,200
Completed and Transferred Out (15,300 × 100%) 15,300
Equivalent units of Production in respect with Raw Materials 30,500
2. Conversion Costs
Ending Work In Process (5,200 × 30%) 1,560
Completed and Transferred Out (15,300 × 100%) 15,300
Equivalent units of Production in respect with Conversion Cost 16,860
Calculation of Cost per Equivalent unit of production in respect with Raw Materials and Conversion Costs
Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent units
1. Materials
Unit Cost = $4,305 ÷ 30,500
= $0.14
2. Conversion Costs
Unit Cost = ($3,320 + $1,738) ÷ 16,860
= $0.30
3. Total unit cost
Total unit cost = Material Cost + Conversion Cost
= $0.14 + $0.30
= $0.44
Calculation of costs assigned to (a) units completed and transferred to Finished Goods and (b) units still in process at June 30.
(a) units completed and transferred to Finished Goods
Total Cost = units completed and transferred out × total unit cost
= 15,300 × $0.44
= $6,732
(b) units still in process at June 30.
Total Cost = Materials Cost + Conversion Cost
= $0.14 × 5,200 + $0.30 × 1,560
= $1,196
20. The consumer price index was 120 in 2013 and 126 in 2014. The nominal interest rate during this period was 8 percent. What was the real interest rate during this period? A) 3 percent B) 2 percent C) 3.3 percent D) 5.2 percent E) 12.8 percent
Answer: 3%
Explanation:
To calculate the real interest rate, it should be noted that the inflation rate is needed and this can be calculated using the consumer price index as:
= [(126-120)/120] × 100
= 6/120 × 100
= 5%
Real interest rate will now be:
= Nominal Rate - Inflation Rate
= 8% - 5%
= 3%

QUESTION 4 / 10
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Applying for several credit cards in one year can help
increase your credit score.
B. People with low credit scores are usually low-risk
borrowers.
C. The longer you use credit responsibly, the higher your
credit score will be.
D. Paying off your entire credit card balance can lower
your credit score.
Answer:
C. The longer you use credit responsibly, the higher your
credit score will be.
Explanation:
A credit card allows its user to access a short term loan. Every payment made via a credit card is considered a loan. The loan attracts interest monthly. Defaulting on credit card payments is similar to defaulting on any other loan type.
Responsible use of a credit card entails using it only when necessary. It means making prompt payments to clear monthly bills.
Credit card history is important information when tabulating an individual's credit score. Anyone who uses their credit card responsibly ends up with a good credit score.
Jupiter Explorers has $8,800 in sales. The profit margin is 4 percent. There are 5,300 shares of stock outstanding. The market price per share is $1.60. What is the price-earnings ratio
Answer:
Price earnings ratio = 24.09 (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Sale = $8,800
Profit margin = 4% = 0.04
Number of share = 5,300
Market price per share = $1.60
Find:
Price-earnings ratio
Computation:
Earnings Per share = Profit / Number of shares
Earnings Per share = [8,800 x 0.04] / 5300
Earnings Per share = $0.0664
Price earnings ratio = Market price per share / Earnings Per share
Price earnings ratio = 1.60/0.0664
Price earnings ratio = 24.09 (Approx)

What will be the nominal rate of return on a perpetual preferred stock with a $100 par value, a stated dividend of 8% of par, and a current market price of (a) $62, (b) $81, (c) $97, and (d) $136
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the risk premium is shown below:-
Rate of return = Dividend ÷ Current market price of preferred stock
The dividend should be
= $100 × 8%
= $8
a Rate of return = $8 ÷ $62
= 12.90%
b. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $81
= 9.88%
c. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $97
= 8.25%
d. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $136
= 5.88%

Marketing by the Numbers: Pricey Sheets
Many luxury sheets cost less than $200 to make but sell for more than $500 in retail stores. Some cost even more consumers pay almost $3,000 for Frett'e "Tangeri Pizzo king-size luxury linens. The creators of a new brand of luxury linens, called Boll & Branch, have entered this market and are determining the price at which to sell their sheets directly to consumers online. They want to price their sheets lower than most brands but still want to earn an adequate margin on sales. The sheets come in a luxurious box that can be reused to store lingerie, jewelry, or other keepsakes. The Boll & Branch brand touts fair trade practices when sourcing its high-grade long staple organic cotton from India. Given the cost information below, refer to Appendix 2: Marketing by the Numbers to answer the following questions.
Cost/King-size Set
Raw Cotton $28.00
Spinning/Weaving/Dyeing $12,00
Cut/Sew/Finishing $10,00
Material Transportation $3,00
Factory Fee $16,00
Inspection and Import Fees $14,00
Ocean Freight/Insurance $5,00
Warehousing $8,00
Packaging $15,00
Promotion $30,00
Customer Shipping $15,00
10-13 Given the cost per king-size sheet set above, and assuming the manufacturer has total fixed costs of $500,000 and estimates first year sales will be 50,000 sets, determine the price to consumers if the company desires a 40 percent margin on sales.
10-14 If the company decides to sell through retailers instead of directly to consumers online, to maintain the consumer price you calculated in the previous question, at what price must it sell the product to a wholesaler who then sells it to retailers? Assume wholesalers desire a 10 percent margin and retailers get a 20 percent margin, both based on their respective selling prices.
Answer:
10-13 : $277
10-14 : $199.40
Explanation:
10-13
therefore Cost per king-size sheet set will be
$28 + $12 + $10 + $3 + $16 + $14 + $5 + $8 + $15 + $30 + $15 = $ 156
First year sales = 50,000 sets
Total cost = $500,000
Average fixed cost = $500,000/50,000 = $10
Total Cost per king-size sheet set = ( cost per king-size sheet )$156 + (Average fixed cost ) $10 = $166
Desired margin on sales = 40%
Let us consider the sale price to be $100x
since the margin is 40% of the sales this means margin = (40/100)*100x = 40x
So, cost price should be= $(100 – 40) = $60x
Also, Cost price = $166
which means : $166 = 60x
hence x = 166 / 60 = 2.77
therefore the sale price = ( 100 * 2.77 ) = $277
10 - 14
The Retailer sells to customers at a price of $277 after buying from the wholesaler
The retailer gets the margin of 20%, therefore the margin of retailer will be = (20/100)*277 = $55.4
Therefore the price at which retailer will buy the sheet set from the wholesaler will be = $277 ( original price ) - ( 20% of $277) $55.4 = $221.60
While the Wholesaler sells the sheet set to the retailer for $221.60 and gets the margin of 10%
hence the margin of the wholesaler = 10%*221.60 = $22.16
Then the wholesaler will get the sheet set at
= $221.6 – $22.16 = $199.40
This the price at which the company will now sell the sheets to the wholesaler

Match each of the options above to the items below.
Carlos’ goal is to reduce average loan processing by fifteen percent within the next 6 months.
Michelle is a salesperson. Her goal is to increase the number of sales calls made to potential customers.
Sam has been reviewing customer accounts at a rate of two per day. His goal is to double that rate. That is possible, but he’ll have to work hard and be creative to reach this goal.
Chen has been given a project, and his manager clearly communicated the quantity and quality expectations to him.
Elizabeth has just been given a project which needs to be completed within 6 weeks.
Kelly is most excited about adopting goals because it means she’ll finally have a clear measure of how well she is doing.
Answer:
Carlos’ goal is to reduce average loan processing by fifteen percent within the next 6 months. - REVIEWED GOALS
Reviewed goals are those that can be juxtaposed against previous performance to see if a better performance was put in. Carlos will review his performance at the end of 6 months.
Michelle is a salesperson. Her goal is to increase the number of sales calls made to potential customers. - RELEVANT GOALS
Relevant goals are those that relate to the job they are made for. Michelle is a salesperson so her having a goal of increasing calls to potentials is relevant to her job.
Sam has been reviewing customer accounts at a rate of two per day. His goal is to double that rate. That is possible, but he’ll have to work hard and be creative to reach this goal. - ACHIEVABLE GOALS.
Acheivable goals are just that, acheivable. Sam's goal to double his reviewing rate is said to be possible so it is achievable.
Chen has been given a project, and his manager clearly communicated the quantity and quality expectations to him. SPECIFIC GOALS.
Specific goals have set targets that should be met and in giving Chen clearly communicated quantity and quality expectations, Chen's manager has given him specific goals.
Elizabeth has just been given a project which needs to be completed within 6 weeks. TIME-FRAME GOALS.
Time-frame goals as implied are goals that have to be completed within a certain time period. Elizabeth has to complete this project in 6 weeks so this is a time-frame goal.
Kelly is most excited about adopting goals because it means she’ll finally have a clear measure of how well she is doing. MEASURABLE GOALS.
Measurable goals relate with the name and can be measured or enable one to measure something else. Kelly will be able to measure how she is doing with these goals of hers so they are measurable goals.
Mark M. Upp has just been fired as the university book store manager for setting prices too low (only 20% above suggested retail). He is considering opening a competing bookstore near the campus, and he has begun an analysis of the situation. There are two possible sites under consideration. One is relatively small, while the other is large. If he opens at Site 1 and demand is good, he will generate a profit of $50,000. If demand is low, he will lose $10,000. If he opens at Site 2 and demand is high he will generate a profit of $80,000, but he will lose $30,000 if demand is low. He also has decided that he will open at one of these sites. He believes that there is a 50% chance that demand will be high. He assigns the following utilities to the different profits:
U = 50,000 = ? U(-10,000) = 0.22
U = 80,000 = 1 U(-30,000) = 0
For what value of utility for $50,000, U(50000), will Mark be indifferent between the two alternatives?
Answer:
The utility of Mark for getting a 50,000 profit should be of 0.78 to make both Site option indifferent.
Explanation:
To be indifferent between the two sites the utility of Site 1 should match the utility of Site 2
Site 2:
weighted Utility of good demand +
weighted Utility of low demand:

At January 1, 2021, Cafe Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 13 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $94,113.) Crescent seeks a 12% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease.
Required:
a. What will be the effect of the lease on Cafe Med's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?
b. What will be the balances in the balance sheet accounts related to the lease at the end of the first year for Café Med (ignore taxes)?
Answer:
Café Med
a. Café Med's earnings for the first year will be reduced by $58,000 (Operating lease expense for January 1 and December 31, 2021).
b. In Café Med's Balance Sheet, at the end of the first year, there will be a liability balance or Lease Expense Payable of $29,000 for the balance due to be paid on December 31, 2021.
Explanation:
Lease annual payments = $29,000
First payment date = January 1, 2021
Subsequent payment dates = December 31, 2021 to 2028.
Period of lease agreement = 9 years < 75% (9/13)
Cost of equipment to Crescent = $207,000
Lifespan of equipment = 13 years
Residual value at end of the lease term = $94,113
b) Café Med will recognize this lease arrangement as an operating lease. This is based on periodic rental payment on a straight-line basis, which is recorded as an operating lease expense. The liability arising will be for unpaid rentals at the end of the accounting period.

Read the following paragraph and copy and paste the sentence which contains the central idea:
The strength in global growth is broad-based across countries that growth has recently exceeded its post-crisis average across almost all major DM and EM countries. Among advanced economies, the three-month moving average of the CAI has been particularly strong in the Euro area and Sweden (around 2pp above their post-crisis average), Japan (1.3pp) and the US (1.1pp). A number of EM economies have recently outpaced their post-crisis average, although growth is likely still below potential in a number of emerging economies.
Answer:
The third sentence.
Explanation:
The third sentence contains the central idea of the passage/paragraph.
- A number of DM (Developed Market) economies have recently outpaced their post-crisis average, although growth is likely still below potential in a number of EM (Emerging Market) economies.
The first sentence somewhat defines "strength in global economic growth". The second sentence gives statistics, particularly on the quality of growth in advanced economies (DM economies).
The third sentence summarizes both points and clarifies that potential for growth is still existent in emerging economies.
Explain how allocating the profits evenly between the partners would work. Consider the fairness to each of the partners in your response.
Answer and Explanation:
Allocation of profit to partners is all dependent on partnership agreement also called partnership deed where sharing ratio as well as role and participation of partners are stated clearly. The sharing ratio states how profits or losses in the partnership is shared amongst partners.

e. Pertaining to a national (or group) policy of non-interaction with other nations (or groups).
Answer:
e. Pertaining to a national (or group) policy of non-interaction with other nations (or groups).
Explanation:
Isolationist is a strategic approach pertaining to a national (or group) policy of non-interaction with other nations (or groups). This ultimately implies that, an isolationist refers to a country that has a diplomatic policy of non-interaction or avoiding to have any form of alliance with other countries.
Generally, countries choose to practice isolationism because they want to avoid foreign economic commitments, preserve her identity and culture, protect its territory, etc. Between 1641 to 1853, The Tokugawa shogunate of Japan adopted isolationism known as "Kaikin" which made it avoid contact or alliance with other countries. Also, in 1930 China was isolationist by banning all maritime shipping activities.

CVP, Not for profit Monroe Classical Music Society is a not-for-profit organization that brings guest artists to the community’s greater metropolitan area. The Music Society just bought a small concert hall in the center of town to house its performances. The mortgage payments on the concert hall are expected to be $2,000 per month. The organization pays its guest performers $1,000 per concert and anticipates corresponding ticket sales to be $2,500 per event. The Music Society also incurs costs of approximately $500 per concert for marketing and advertising. The organization pays its artistic director $50,000 per year and expects to receive $40,000 in donations in addition to its ticket sales.Required1. If the Monroe Classical Music Society just breaks even, how many concerts does it hold?2. In addition to the organization’s artistic director, the Music Society would like to hire a marketing director for $40,000 per year. What is the breakeven point? The Music Society anticipates that the addition of a marketing director would allow the organization to increase the number of concerts to 60 per year. What is the Music Society’s operating income/(loss) if it hires the new marketing director?3. The Music Society expects to receive a grant that would provide the organization with an additional $20,000 toward the payment of the marketing director’s salary. What is the breakeven point if the Music Society hires the marketing director and receives the grant?
Answer:
1. If the Monroe Classical Music Society just breaks even, how many concerts does it hold?
break even = $34,000 / $1,000 = 34 concerts per year
2. In addition to the organization’s artistic director, the Music Society would like to hire a marketing director for $40,000 per year. What is the break even point?
break even = $74,000 / $1,000 = 74 concerts per year
The Music Society anticipates that the addition of a marketing director would allow the organization to increase the number of concerts to 60 per year. What is the Music Society’s operating income/(loss) if it hires the new marketing director?
loss = (60 x $1,000) - $74,000 = $60,000 - $74,000 = -$14,000
3. The Music Society expects to receive a grant that would provide the organization with an additional $20,000 toward the payment of the marketing director’s salary. What is the break even point if the Music Society hires the marketing director and receives the grant?
break even = $54,000 / $1,000 = 54 concerts per year
Explanation:
fixed costs = $24,000 (mortgage) + $50,000 (artistic director) = $74,000
variable costs per concert = $1,000 (artist) - $500 (marketing) = $1,500
revenue = $2,500 per concert
contribution margin per concert = $2,500 - $1,500 = $1,000
other revenues = $40,000 per year
net fixed costs = $74,000 - $40,000 = $34,000

On December 31, 2020, Flounder Company signed a $1,278,400 note to Culver Bank. The market interest rate at that time was 10%. The stated interest rate on the note was 8%, payable annually. The note matures in 5 years. Unfortunately, because of lower sales, Flounder’s financial situation worsened. On December 31, 2022, Culver Bank determined that it was probable that the company would pay back only $767,040 of the principal at maturity. However, it was considered likely that interest would continue to be paid, based on the $1,278,400 loan.
Required:
a. Determine the amount of cash Flounder received from the loan on December 31, 2020.
b. Prepare a note amortization schedule for Culver Bank up to December 31, 2022.
c. Determine the loss on impairment that Culver Bank should recognize on December 31, 2022.
Answer:
All requirements are solved
Explanation:
An amortization schedule is a complete table of periodic loan payments, showing the amount of principal and the amount of interest that comprise each payment until the loan is paid off at the end of its term. Each periodic payment is the same amount in total for each period.
Requirement A
Amount of cash Flounder received from the loan =(1,278,400 x 0.62092) (102,272 x 3.79079)
Amount of cash Flounder received from the loan = 1,181,476
Requirement B
Date Cash Interest Increase in Carrying Amount
Received Revenue Carrying Amount of Note
12/31/20 1,181,476
12/31/21 102,272 118,148 15,876 1,197,352
12/31/22 102,272 119,735 17,463 1,214,815
Requirement C
Loss due to impairment = 1,214,815 - [(767,040 x 0.75131) (102,272 x 2.48685)]
Loss due to impairment = 384,195
At year-end 2018, Marvel Company total assets were $4.5 million, and its accounts payable were $850,000. Sales, which in 2018 were $5.5 million, are expected to increase by 25% in 2019. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Marvel typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $ 2.25 million in 2018, and retained earnings were $150,000. Marvel has arranged to sell $25,000 of new common stock in 2019 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2019. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 2.5%, and 55% of earnings will be paid out as dividends.
Required:
a. What were Marvel's total long-term debt and total liabilities in 2018?
b. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2019?
Answer:
Marvel Company
a. Marvel's total long-term debt in 2018 = $1,250,000
a2. Marvel's total liabilities = $2,100,000 ($850,000 +$1,250,000)
b. New long-term debt financing needed in 2019 = $810,156
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Year-end 2018:
Total assets = $4.5 million
Accounts payable $850,000
Sales = $5.5 million
Common Stock = $2.25 million
Retained Earnings = $150,000
Long-term debt = Total assets Minus (Accounts payable + Equity)
= $4,500,000 - ($850,000 + 2,250,000 + 150,000)
= $1,250,000
Year 2019:
Sales = $6,875,000 ($5.5 million * 1.25)
Net profit margin on sales = $171,875 (2.5% * $6,875,000)
Dividends = 55% of earnings = $94,531 (55% * $171,875)
Retained earnings for the year = $77,344
Retained earnings for 2018: 150,000
Retained earnings, 2019: $227,344
Common Stock = $2,275,000 ($2,250,000 + $25,000)
Total equity = $2,502,344 ($2,250,000 + 227,344)
Total assets = $5,625,000 ($4.5 million * 1.25)
Accounts payable = $1,062,500 ($850,000 * 1.25)
Long-term debt = Total Assets - (Total equity + Accounts Payable)
= $5,625,000 - ($2,502,344 + 1,062,500)
= $2,060,156
Increase in long-term debt = $810,156 ($2,060,156 - $1,250,000)
The inventory of a large grocery store client is material, and it is the largest current asset on the balance sheet. The cost of inventory items ranges from very small amounts (like individual candy at the checkout line) to larger amounts (like prime meat and specialty deli items). Typical risks for a grocery store are theft and spoilage of inventory. During the second quarter, the client caught three employees in a scheme of stealing produce and meats from the store and selling them, at a discount, to friends and family. Based on an investigation by authorities and store management, the scheme had been operating for about two months.
Required:
Based on the information, evaluate which accounts and assertions are at risk of misstatement.
Answer:
The auditor of the large grocery store can identify the accounts at risk of misstatement to include Inventory account, Cost of Goods Sold account, and Accounts Payable account. They have some relationships. A misstatement in the Inventory account will lead to a misstatement in the Cost of Goods Sold, which eventually affects the Net Income.
The auditor should be aware that the assertions that are at risk of misstatement include existence, completeness, accuracy and valuation, and disclosure of Inventory. Assuming that the pilfering scheme had gone on for more months, the employees could have devised more sinister schemes.
Explanation:
The management of this large grocery store must attest to the assertions of existence, completeness, rights and obligations, accuracy and valuation, and presentation and disclosure with regard to the accuracy of the information contained in the financial statements: the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows. This implies that its management must declare that it has truthfully measured and presented the financial information about its activities.
