Answer:
net operating income = $379,900
Explanation:
we can use the high-low cost method to determine the fixed and variable manufacturing costs:
variable cost per unit = (highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (highest activity units - lowest activity units) = ($193,000 - $117,000) / (10,000 - 5,000) = $76,000 / 5,000 = $15.20 per unit
fixed costs = highest activity cost - (variable cost per unit x highest activity units) = $193,000 - ($15.20 x 10,000) = $193,000 - $152,000 = $41,000
cost of goods sold for 6,620 units = (6,620 x $15.20) + $41,000 = $141,624
now we do the same for the administrative expenses:
variable cost per unit = ($637,000 - $588,000) / (10,000 - 5,000) = $49,000 / 5,000 = $9.80
fixed costs = $637,000 - ($9.80 x 10,000) = $637,000 - $98,000 = $539,000
S&A expenses for 6,620 units = (6,620 x $9.80) + $539,000 = $603,876
net income = $1,125,400
- COGS = $141,624
gross profit = $983,776
- S&A expenses = $603,876
net operating income $379,900

The development and application of mrp depended upon two developments (1) the recognition of the difference between independent and dependent demand, and (2):________
a. Computers
b. Development of the EOQ model
c. Inventory control systems
d. Blanket purchase ordersE. the internet
Answer:
a. Computers
Explanation:
The MRP refers to the material requirement planning with respect to production, scheduling, controlling of an inventory. It works is to transform the master schedule to the detailed schedule in order to purchase the raw material.
It can be divided into two components i.e independent and dependent demand. The independent demand is held for the finished goods and the dependent demand is for the components
Now for developing the mrp depend upon the recognition between the dependent and independent demand and the second one is computer

Schrank Company is trying to decide how many units of merchandise to order each month. Company policy is to have 30% of the next month's sales in inventory at the end of each month. Projected sales for August, September, and October are 35,000 units, 25,000 units, and 45,000 units, respectively. How many units must be purchased in September?
Answer:
31,000 units
Explanation:
Calculation for how many units must be purchased in September
Using this formula
Purchase = (Percentage of the month's sales in inventory × Projected sales for October + Projected sales for September - (Percentage of the month's sales in inventory ×Projected sales for September)
Let plug in the formula
Purchase =(30%× 45,000) + 25,000 - (30% × 25,000)
Purchase =13,500+25,000 -(7,500)
Purchase =38,500-7,500
Purchase =31,000 Units
Therefore 31,000 units must be purchased in September
George Company has a relevant range of 150,000 units to 400,000 units. The company has total fixed costs of $527,000. Total fixed and variable costs are $622,500 at a production level of 176,000 units. The variable cost per unit at 350,000 units is
Answer: $0.54
Explanation:
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
$622,500 = $527,000 + Variable cost
Variable cost = $622,500 - $527,000
Variable cost = $95,500
Variable cost per unit will be calculated as the variable cost divided by the production unit. This will be:
= $95,500/176,000
= $0.54
The variable cost per units is $0.54.
Lindon Company is the exclusive distributor for an automotive product that sells for $34.00 per unit and has a CM ratio of 30%. The company’s fixed expenses are $193,800 per year. The company plans to sell 21,600 units this year. Required: 1. What are the variable expenses per unit? (Round your "per unit" answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. What is the break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales? 3. What amount of unit sales and dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $91,800 per year? 4. Assume that by using a more efficient shipper, the company is able to reduce its variable expenses by $3.40 per unit. What is the company’s new break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales? What dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $91,800?
Answer:
1. $23.80
2. Break even Point (units) = 19,000 units and Break even Point (dollars) = $646,000
3. Unit sales to attain a target profit = 28,000 units and Dollar sales to attain a target profit = $952,000
4. Break even Point (units) = 28,500 units, Break even Point (dollars) = $969,000 and Dollar sales to attain a target profit = $1,428,000.
Explanation:
Variable Cost % = 100% - 30%
= 70%
Thus, variable expenses per unit = $34.00 × 70%
= $23.80
Break even Point is the level of activity where a firm makes neither a profit nor a loss.
Break even Point (units) = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit
= $193,800 / ($34.00 ×30%)
= $193,800 / $10.20
= 19,000 units
Break even Point (dollars) = Fixed Cost / CM Ratio
= $193,800 / 0.30
= $646,000
Unit sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / Contribution per unit
= ($193,800 + $91,800) / $10.20
= 28,000
Dollar sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / CM Ratio
= ($193,800 + $91,800) / 0.30
= $952,000
When variable expenses reduce by $3.40 per unit.
Break even Point (units) = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit
= $193,800 / ($34.00 - $23.80 - $3.40 )
= $193,800 / $6.80
= 28,500 units
Break even Point (dollars) = Fixed Cost / CM Ratio
= $193,800 / ($6.80/ $34.00)
= $969,000
Dollar sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / CM Ratio
= ($193,800 + $91,800) / 0.20
= $1,428,000
4. under rule utilitarianism the notion that if an action increases utility at one particular
moment, it does not show that:
Answer:
Moral decision
Explanation:
Utilitarianism is the notion of ethics that is an action is considered good if it results in the greatest good of all the others. It considers the single action and decided on that basis whether the certain thing is right or wrong. The utility increases at one particular action and when the other action arrives its utility diminishes. It does not show the moral decision that has been taken for the other reasons.
At July 31, Farmer Company has this bank information: cash balance per bank $8,344; outstanding checks $804; deposits in transit $1,383; and a bank service charge $58.
Determine the adjusted cash balance per bank at July 31.
The adjusted cash balance per bank at July 31:___________.
Answer:
The adjusted balance per bank is $8923
Explanation:
Adjusted cash balance per bank
Cash balance per bank (unadjusted) 8344
(+) Deposits in transit 1383
(-) Outstanding checks (804)
Cash balance per bank (adjusted) 8923
The adjusted cash balance per bank is calculated by adjusting the transactions that do not appear on the current bank statement.
The deposits in transit is the amount of cash deposited in the bank, that will increase the bank balance, which is still in process and has not been added to the bank account as of now. Thus, we will add this amount to calculate the adjusted bank balance.
The outstanding checks amount is the amount of checks that have been issued by the business but which are yet to be presented by the recipients of checks and will result in a reduction in the bank balance. Thus, we deduct them to calculate the adjusted balance.
The bank charge is deducted by the bank itself thus we assume that it has already been deducted. So, no adjustment is made for this.

Answer:
What is the budgeted cash received from customers?
b. $4,120,000Explanation:
cash received from customers = total sales revenue + beginning accounts receivable - ending accounts receivable
total sales revenue = 20,000 x 205 = $4,100,000beginning accounts receivable = $40,000ending accounts receivable = $20,000cash received from customers = $4,100,000 + $40,000 - $20,000 = $4,120,000
Landow Company uses variable costing for internal purposes and wants to restate income to that of absorption costing for external reporting purposes. Landow's income under variable costing is $630,000. Fixed production cost in ending inventory is $120,000 and $85,000 in beginning inventory. What is Landow's income under absorption costing?
Answer:
$635,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net income under absorption costing is shown below:
= Income under variable costing + fixed production cost in ending inventory - beginning inventory
= $630,000 + $120,000 - $85,000
= $635,000
By adding the fixed cost and deduct the beginning inventory to the variable costing income we can easily calculate the absorption costing income
The following data are the actual results for Marvelous Marshmallow Company for August:
Actual output 8,000 cases
Actual variable overhead $ 427,000
Actual fixed overhead $ 149,000
Actual machine time 33,400 machine hours
Standard cost and budget information for Marvelous Marshmallow Company follows:
Standard variable-overhead rate $ 12.00 per machine hour
Standard quantity of machine hours 4 hours per case of marshmallows
Budgeted fixed overhead $ 144,000 per month
Budgeted output 12,000 cases per month
Required:
Compute the following variances:
a Variable-overhead spending variance
b. Variable-overhead efficiencv variance
c. Fixed-overhead budget variance
d. Fixed-overhead volume variance
Answer:
a. $26,200 Unfavorable
b. $16,800 Unfavorable
c. $ 5,000 Unfavorable
d. $48,000 Unfavorable
Explanation:
a Variable-overhead spending variance
Variable-overhead spending variance = Budgeted Variable overheads at actual hours worked - Actual variable overheads
= (33,400 × $ 12.00) - $ 427,000
= $400,800 - $ 427,000
= $26,200 Unfavorable
b. Variable-overhead efficiency variance
Variable-overhead efficiency variance = (Actual Output × Standard hour × Standard rate) - (Actual hours × Standard rate per hour)
= (8,000 × 4 × $ 12.00) - (33,400 × $ 12.00)
= $384,000 - $400,800
= $16,800 Unfavorable
c. Fixed-overhead budget variance
Fixed-overhead budget variance = Actual Fixed Overheads - Budgeted Fixed Overheads
= $ 149,000 - $ 144,000
= $ 5,000 Unfavorable
d. Fixed-overhead volume variance
Fixed-overhead volume variance = Fixed overheads at Budgeted Production - Budgeted Fixed Overheads
= ($ 144,000 / 12,000 × 8,000) - $ 144,000
= $96,000 - $144,000
= $48,000 Unfavorable

Explanation:
Oriole Co. sold $1,970,000 of 12%, 10-year bonds at 102 on January 1, 2017. The bonds were dated January 1, 2017, and pay interest on July 1 and January 1. If Oriole uses the straight-line method to amortize bond premium or discount, determine the amount of interest expense to be reported on July 1, 2017, and December 31, 2017. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 38,548.) Interest expense to be recorded\
Answer:
The interest expenses to be reported for July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 is $116,230
Explanation:
We begin by calculating cash interest on the bond
Cash interest on the bond = $1,970,000 × 12% × 6/12
= $118,200
We will also find the premium on bonds payable
Premium on bonds payable = (102 -100)
= 2%
Therefore, premium on bonds payable = $1,970,000 × 2%
= $39,400
Finding semi annual premium amortized for both July 1, 2017 and December 31 is ;
= $39,400 / 10×2
= $39,400 / 20
= $1,970
We will now calculate the interest expenses for July 1, 2017 and December 31
Interest expenses = Cash interest - Premium amortized
= $118,200 - $1,970
= $116,230
A 5-year corporate bond yields 7.0%. A 5-year municipal bond (tax exempt bond) of equal risk yields 5.0%. Assume that the state tax rate is zero. At what federal tax rate are you indifferent between the two bonds?
Answer:
The tax rate is approximately(rounded to a whole) 29%
Explanation:
The federal tax that would make an investor indifferent between the 5-year corporate bond and the 5-year municipal bond can be derived by equating the return on the former to the taxable return of the latter as below:
5%=7%*(1-t)
where the t is the unknown tax rate
Note that the return on 5-year corporate bond is taxable while the return on the municipal bond is tax-free
5%=7%*(1-t)
5%/7%=1-t
0.7143 =1-t
t=1-0.7143
t=29%
: Imagine that Canada, the US, and Mexico decide to adopt a fixed exchange rate system. What would be the likely consequences of such a system for the flow of trade and investment between all three countries
Answer:
The exchange rate would benefit the U.S. and Canada more, that it would benefit Mexico.
This is because the Mexican currency: Mexican Peso, is devalued when compared to the U.S. Dollar and the Canadian Dollar. This means that Mexican exports are comparatively cheaper than American or Canadian exports, causing a great growth of Mexican manufacturing in recent decades.
In a fixed exchange rate system, Mexico would lose this competitive advantage. It would still have lower labor costs, but the amount of manufacturing that would move from the U.S. and Canada to Mexico would probably be less.
On July 1 Olive Co. paid $7,500 cash for management services to be performed over a two-year period. Olive follows a policy of recording all prepaid expenses to asset accounts at the time of cash payment. On July 1 Olive should record:
Answer:
The journal entry to record this should be:;
July 1, Year 202x, cash received as deferred revenue
Dr Cash 7,500
Cr Deferred revenue 7,500
Explanation:
Accrual accounting states that both revenues and expenses must be recorded during the periods that they actually occur, and not necessarily when any cash transfer is associated to them.
In this case, the adjusting entry for accrued revenue on December 31 should be:
December 31, year 202x, accrued revenue
Dr Deferred revenue 1,875
Cr Service revenue 1,875
Assume the Small Components Division of Martin Manufacturing produces a video card used in the assembly of a variety of electronic products.The highest acceptable transfer price for the divisions is the Small Components Division's
Answer:
Minimum Transfer Price.

Give one example of how you think the Law of One Price may hold.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The law of one price may hold, when there is eliminatination of price differences through arbitrage opportunities between markets.
For example, considering the value of two currencies e.g Dollar and Pound is equal when a basket of identical goods is priced the same in both countries. This ensures that buyers have the same purchasing power across global markets.
Assume that ExxonMobil uses a standard cost system for each of its refineries. For the Houston refinery, the monthly fixed overhead budget is $8,000,000 for a planned outputs of 5,000,000 barrels. For September, the actual fixed cost was $8,750,000 for 5,100,000 barrels.
Required
a. Determine the fixed overhead budget variance.
b. If fixed overhead is applied on a per-barrel basis, determine the volume variance.
c. Provide formulas and an explanation.
Answer:
a. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead
= $8,000,000 - $8,750,000
= $750,000 Unfavorable
b. Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = $8,000,000 / 5,000,000
= $1.60 per barrel
Fixed overhead applied = 5,100,000 * $1.60
= $8,160,000
Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead
= $8,160,000 - $8,000,000
= $160,000 Favorable
c. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead
Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = Budgeted fixed overhead / Planned outputs
Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead
A disadvantage of using stock options to compensate managers is that:________
A) it encourages managers to undertake projects that will increase stock price.
B) it encourages managers to engage in empire building.
C) it can create an incentive for managers to manipulate information to prop up a stock price temporarily, giving them a chance to cash out before the price returns to a level reflective of the firm's true prospects.
D) All of the above
Answer:
C) it can create an incentive for managers to manipulate information to prop up a stock price temporarily, giving them a chance to cash out before the price returns to a level reflective of the firm's true prospects
Explanation:
A disadvantage of using stock options to compensate managers is that it can create an incentive for managers to manipulate information to prop up a stock price temporarily, giving them a chance to cash out before the price returns to a level reflective of the firm's true prospects.
A stock option is a contractual agreement that gives a buyer (investor) the right but certainly not an obligation to buy or sell a stock at a specified price and date, depending on the options' form. Generally, in business finance there are basically two (2) types of options;
1. Puts: it is a bet that a stock will likely fall in the short or long run.
2. Calls: it involves betting that a stock will rise in the short run or long run.
Hence, if managers are compensated with a stock option it gives them the opportunity to cash out early.
A company discarded a computer system originally purchased for $18,000. The accumulated depreciation was $17,200. The company should recognize a(an):
Answer:
The company should recognize a $800 loss.
Explanation:
Depreciation is the loss of value of an asset over its useful life, and because of the accrual principle, this depreciation is matched, as an expense, with the revenues that the asset produces in a specific period of time.
In this case, the company has expensed $17,200 over the computer system useful life. When the computer system was finally discarded, $800, representing the difference between the accumulated depreciation and the original cost of the system, where not expensed. For this reason, this $800 have to be recognized as a loss.

Ken just purchased new furniture for his house at a cost of $15,600. The loan calls for weekly payments for the next 7 years at an annual interest rate of 10.51 percent. How much are his weekly payments
Answer:
$60.58
Explanation:
According to the given situation the computation of weekly payments is shown below:-
Weekly payments = Loan ÷ (1 - (1 ÷ (1 + r^n))) ÷ r
= $15,600 ÷ (1 - (1 ÷ (1.0020211 ^364))) ÷ 0.00202115
= $60.58
here r = interest rate, n = time period
Therefore for computing the weekly payment we simply applied the above formula.
So, the correct answer is $60.58
AgCo sells corn in a perfectly competitive market. Say the current market price for a bushel of corn is $4.00. If AgCo prices at $4.10 per bushel for its corn, a. AgCo will sell less corn than other producers but still earn a reasonable profit. b. AgCo will sell no bushels of corn. c. AgCo's total revenue will increase. d. AgCo will maximize profit at that price.
Answer:
b. AgCo will sell no bushels of corn.
Explanation:
A perfectly competitive market refers to market has many buyers and sellers will all the market selling the undifferentiated product without any difference.
Some of the others attributes of a perfectly competitive market are that buyers and sellers have perfect information about the price of a good, no barriers to entry and exit, similar products are being sold, there are free entry and exit to the market, and all sellers are price takers.
All sellers are price takers implies that the price of good is determined or given by the market. Therefore, any attempt to increase the price beyond the price given by the market will result into a zero sale because the buyers will immediately switch to another seller selling at the market price which lower.
Based on the above explanation, AgCo will sell no bushels of corn because its prices at $4.10 per bushel for its corn is higher than the current market price for a bushel of corn of $4.00.
Consider a service company that provides carpet cleaning and uses straight-line depreciation. Classify the cost of the depreciation on the carpet cleaning machines.
a. Fixed
b. Indirect
Answer:
Both :
a. Fixed and,
b. Indirect
Explanation:
The depreciation expense on production machinery form part of the product or service cost.
The cost however, can not be traced to the product or service that is why it is an Indirect cost as opposed to the direct costs which can be traced directly on the product or service.
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation thus the depreciation is a fixed charge.

The value of an amount invested at a certain rate of return for certain number of years where interest compounded annually is known as the future value.
The future value of an investment can be determined using the future value formula. This formula is stated below:
FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)
FV - Future Value , PV- Present Value, r-rate of return, n- number of years
For the first compounding, 6.1% for 11 years
PV - 26,000, r- 6.1% and n- 11
FV = 26,000 × (1.061)^11 = 49,870.367
For the second round of compounding at 5.5% for 14 years
PV - 49,870.367 , r -5.5%, n- 14
FV = 49,870.367× 1.055^14 = 105,530.259
Total value in the account after 25 years = $105,530.26
