Harmony Company sells handminusknit scarves. Each scarf sells for $ 45. The company pays $ 70 to rent vending space for one day. The variable costs are $ 12 per scarf. How many scarves should the company sell each day in order to break even? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole scarf.)
Answer:
2.12, rounded up to 3
Explanation:
To solve the equation, we first need to set up an equation.
Let x represent the number of scarves. We want one side of the equation to be the amount earned and the other to be the cost
45x is how much they earn since each scarf is $45
70+12x is how much they cost for rent and production
45x=70+12x
Subtract 12x from both sides
33x=70
Divide both sides by 33
x=2.12
It says we should round up so 3 scarves to break even
In case of resale of goods arising out of a breach of contract, if the seller sets aside goods intended for the contract or completes the manufacture of such goods, he is:
Answer:
not obligated to resell the goods to other buyers
Explanation:
In the course of selling goods, a breach of contract could arise either on the part of the seller or buyer. When this occurs, there are options that the two parties could consider. For a seller who suffers a breach of contract after the completion of the manufacture of goods, he has several actions which he could take. One of them is the resale of these goods to another buyer and sue the buyer for losses that were incurred during the manufacturing process.
However, it is not compulsory that he resells the goods to other buyers. He could also decide to retain the goods until the goods are paid for by the buyer. Another option is to stop the goods if they are already in transit.

Consider the production department of a manufacturer of laptop computers. Classify the cost of the factory maintenance manager's salary.
a. variable.
b. direct.
c. period.
d. fixed.
Answer:
d. fixed.
Explanation:
The Maintenance Managers`s work can not be directly traced during the production process and this does not meet the definition of a direct cost.
However the Maintainace Managers`s work is key in every production thus, it is an indirect manufacturing cost that in most cases is fixed.
Fixed in the sense that the salary (cost) does not vary with the level of production.
Kite Corporation has provided the following contribution format income statement. Assume that the following information is within the relevant range. Sales (3,000 units) $ 180,000 Variable expenses 108,000 Contribution margin 72,000 Fixed expenses 62,400 Net operating income $ 9,600 The contribution margin ratio is closest to:
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
Contribution margin = Contribution ÷ Sales × 100
= 72,000 ÷ $180,000 × 100
= 0.4 × 100
= 40%
Please not that other information given in the question are not relevant in arriving at the contribution margin ratio hence will be ignored.

Jacob Corcoran bought 10,000 shares of Grebe Corporation stock two years ago for $24,000. Last year, Jacob received a nontaxable stock dividend of 2,000 shares in Grebe Corporation. In the current tax year, Jacob sold all of the stock received as a dividend for $18,000.
Prepare a memo for the tax research file describing the tax consequences of the stock sale. Jacob’s address is 925 Arapahoe Street, Boulder, CO 80304.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that :
Jacob Corcoran bought 10,000 shares of Grebe Corporation stock two years ago for $24,000.
Last year, Jacob received a nontaxable stock dividend of 2,000 shares in Grebe Corporation, and
In the current tax year, Jacob sold all of the stock received as a dividend for $18,000.
The objective is to prepare a memo for the tax research file describing the tax consequences of the stock sale.
From the tax research file:
The gain on the sale of the 2,000 shares is calculated by the difference from the sales price and the shares sold.
I.e $24000 - $18000 = $6000
The tax rate on the $2000 = Purchase price of the shares/ (Original shares bought + new shares)
The tax rate on the 2000 shares = $24000/($10000+$2000)
The tax rate on the 2000 shares= $24000/$12000
The tax rate on the 2000 shares= $2 / shares
The Gain in the share = selling price - tax basis in the 2,000 new shares
The Gain in the share = $18000 - $4000
The Gain in the share = $14000
∴
This is the long capital gain i.e $14000
The memo in summary goes thus:
The amount of $24000 is being paid by you for 10000 shares of stock in Grebe Corporation in which a stock dividend of 2000 was received. However, the share is sold for $18000, the tax basis is deduced by dividing $24000 purchasing price by $12000(original price + new shares price) which resulted into a $2/ shares. The $14,000 gain on the sale is a long-term capital gain. The gain on the sale is long term because the original Grebe stock has been held for more than one year.
Using ABC in a service company
Blanchette Plant Service completed a special landscaping job for Kerry Company. Blanchette uses ABC and has the following predetermined overhead allocation rates:
The Kerry job included $750 in plants; $1,300 in direct labor; one design; and 30 plants.
Requirements
What is the total cost of the Kerry job?
If Kerry paid $3,540 for the job, what is the operating income or loss?
If Blanchette desires an operating income of 30% of cost, how much should the company charge for the Kerry job?
Answer:
Blanchette Plant Service
ABC Costing Technique:
1. Total cost of the Kerry job:
Plants = $750
Direct labor = 1,300
Total cost = $2,050
2. Determination of operating income or loss (Kerry's job):
Service Revenue = $3,540
less cost of service 2,050
Operating income = $1,490
3. With desired operating income of 30% of cost:
Operating income = $615 ($2,050 x 30%)
The company can charge the Kerry job $2,665 ($2,050 + 615) or ($2,050 x 1.3)
Explanation:
Operating income or loss is the difference between revenue and costs of providing the services or goods. When the revenue exceeds the operating cost, the difference is an operating income. When the revenue is exceeded by the operating cost, the difference is an operating loss. While the former means that the organization has added value to its resources, the latter implies that the organization has lost some value to its resources, thereby reducing the equity of the owners in the business entity.

The Box Manufacturing Division of the Allied Paper Company reported the following results from the past year. Shareholders require a return of 9%. Management calculated a weightedminusaverage cost of capital (WACC) of 7%. Allied's corporate tax rate is 30.
Sales $700,000
Operating income $175,000
Total Assets $1,500000
Current liabilities $600,000
What is the division's Return on Investment (ROI)?
A) 25.00%.
B) 11.67%.
C) 40.00%.
D) 46.67%.
Answer:
Return n investment = 11.67%
Explanation:
Return on Investment is the proportion investment that is earned as operating income.
For the division, the return on investment would be the proportion of te investment in assets that is earned as net income.
This would be determined as follows;
Return n investment = (Net income÷ Operating assets) × 100
Return n investment = (175,000 ÷ 1,500,000) × 100= 11.67%
Return n investment = 11.67%
a friend wants to borrow money from you. He states that he will pay you $3000 every 6 months for 12 years with the first payment exactly 3 years and six months from today. The interest rate is an APR of 5.3 percent with semiannual compounding. What is the value of the payments today?
Answer:
$45,111.41
Explanation:
For calculation of value of the payments today first we need to find out the value at 3 years which is shown below:-
Value at 3 years = PMT × (1 - (1 ÷ (1 + r^n))) ÷ r
= $3,000 × (1 - (1 ÷ (1.0265 ^24))) ÷ 0.0265
= $52,776.45
Now, The value of the payment today = Value at 3 year ÷ (1 + r^n)
= $52,776.45 ÷ (1.0265^6)
= $45,111.41
Therefore we have applied the above formula.

2. Resold 2,000 of the treasury shares at $49 per share.
3. Resold 500 of the treasury shares at $40 per share.
Indicate the effect each of the three transactions has on the financial statement categories listed in the table below, assuming Joe Dumars Company uses the cost method.
Answer:
Transaction 1
Assets - Decrease by $225,000
Cash expended to acquire shares = 5,000 * 45 = $225,000
Liabilities - No effect
Stockholders' equity - Decrease by $225,000
Increase in Treasury shares leads to decrease in the amount stockholders hold.
Paid In Capital - No effect
Retained Earnings - No Effect
Net Income - No Effect

Assets - Increase by $98,000
Cash increased because of sale of stock = 2,000 * 49 = $98,000
Liabilities - No effect
Stockholders' equity - Increase by $90,000
= 2,000 * 45 = $90,000
Cost method means that when debiting from Treasury account, use original cost.
Paid In Capital - Increase by $8,000
If stock is sold for amount different from what it was bought, it goes into this account. If it is larger than it was bought for then this account increases and vice versa.
Retained Earnings - No Effect
Net Income - No Effect
Transaction 3
Assets - Increase by $20,000
Cash from sale of stock = 500 * 40 = $20,000
Liabilities - No effect
Stockholders' equity - Increase by $22,500
= 500 * 45 = $22,500
Paid In Capital - Decrease by $2,500
If stock is sold for amount different from what it was bought, it goes into this account. If it is smaller than it was bought for then this account decreases and vice versa.
Retained Earnings - No Effect

Betty Harrington owns a floor covering firm. Her market research is telling her that she is taking business away from the large home improvement stores in her trade area. One thing that Betty is worried about is that the large stores might fight back by lowering their prices, which hurts everyone except the consumer. The day-to-day challenge of firm growth that this example is referring to is:
Answer:
price stability
Explanation:
In this scenario, the day-to-day challenge of firm growth that this example is referring to is price stability. Since the prices of the competing store are being changed (on purpose) Betty Harrington's firm will have a hard time adjusting in order to continue competing with the larger competing store, especially if the larger store lowers the price too much that Betty's store cannot actually lower theirs to that price. Thus ultimately forcing her out of the market.

Two assets have the following expected returns and standard deviations when the risk-free rate is 5%:
Asset A: Expected return = 10% & SD = 20%
Asset B: Expected return = 15% & SD = 27%
An investor with a risk aversion of A = 3 would find that _________________ on a risk return basis.
a. only Asset A is acceptable
b. only Asset B is acceptable
c. neither Asset A nor Asset B is acceptable
d. both Asset A and Asset B are acceptable
Answer:
c. neither Asset A nor Asset B is acceptable
Explanation:
The computation of the risk return basis is shown below:-
Optimal Return of Asset A is
= A × 0.5 × Standard Deviation^2 + Risk Free Rate
= 3 × 0.5 × 20%^2 + 5%
= 11%
As 10% is lesser than 11%
Now
Optimal Return of Asset B is
= A × 0.5 × Standard Deviation^2 + Risk Free Rate
= 3 × 0.5 × 27%^2 + 5%
= 15.94%
As 15% is lesser than 15.94%
Therefore neither Asset could be acceptable
A bond has a standard deviation of 10.7 percent and an average rate of return of 6.4 percent. What is the coefficient of variation (CoV)
Answer:
CoV = 1.671875 rounded off to 1.67
Explanation:
The coefficient of variation (CoV) is a measure of volatility of an investment. It tells the volatility in comparison with the expected return from the investment. We can say that the CoV tells us the risk per unit of return as CoV is calculated by dividing standard deviation, which is a measure of risk, by the expected return of the investment.
CoV = SD / r
Where,
SD is the standard deviationr is the expected returnCoV = 0.107 / 0.064
CoV = 1.671875 rounded off to 1.67

Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always performed so profitably. During 2003, an auction house sold a sculpture at auction for a price of $10,371,500. Unfortunately for the previous owner, he had purchased it in 1999 at a price of $12,497,500.
What was his annual rate of return on this sculpture? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Annual rate of return %
Answer:
-4.25%
Explanation:
purchase price in 1999 = $12,497,500
purchase price in 2003 = $10,371,500
annual rate of return = {[($10,371,500 - $12,497,500) / $12,497,500] / (2003 - 1999)} x 100 = (-0.170114 / 4) x 100 = -4.25%
the annual rate of return refers to how much money you win or loss with an investment during a year. In this case, the investor lost $2,126,000 in 4 years, which resulted in a total loss of 17.01% for the whole period.
Regina recently landed her dream job at a local clothes outlet. Within a few weeks of working in her new employment, however, Regina began to engage in fraud. Regina committed the fraud by doing the following:
When people returned merchandise, Regina would ring up an amount that was greater than the value of the item that was being returned. Regina would then pocket the extra cash and give the customer the amount due. Regina found this method of fraud very effective because people were, in reality, returning something and inventory and register totals wouldn't be out of balance at the end of the day.
Required:
1. What type of fraud is Regina committing?
2. How could her employer detect this kind of fraud?
Answer:
Fraudulent disbursements,
card statement review
Explanation:
Fraudulent disbursements are very common and occur when an employee misappropriates company funds by making inappropriate payments, fraudulent. They are also called on-book frauds and can only be traced by putting systems that keep these practices in check. The most likely way to have caught the employee in the above case was to review the card statement and review purchases made and to what amount the refund from the company's card was made

Sales revenue $350,000 Accounts receivable $280,000 Ending inventory $230,000 Cost of goods sold $180,000 Sales returns $50,000 Sales discount $20,000 What is the gross profit?
Answer:
$100,000
Explanation:
The computation of gross profit is shown below:-
Gross profit = (Sales revenue - Sales return - Sales discount) - Cost of goods sold
= ($350,000 - $50,000 - $20,000) - $180,000
= $280,000 - $180,000
= $100,000
Therefore we simply applied the above formula for determining the gross profit

you are going to deposit $19000 today. You will earn an annual rateof 3.3 percent for 11 years, and then earn an annual rate of 2.7 percent for 14 years. how much will you have in your account in 25 years?
Answer:
After 25 years you will have in your account $42,782.05.
Explanation:
First find the Future value of $19000 invested today at the end of 11 years.
PV = - $19,000
Pmt = $0
P/yr = 1
r = 3.30%
n = 11
FV = ?
Using a Financial calculator, the Future Value (FV) after 11 years will be $27,155.46.
Use the $27,155.46 to find future value at the end of the next 14 years at the rate of 2.70%
PV = - $27,155.46
Pmt = $0
P/yr = 1
r = 3.30%
n = 14
FV = ?
Using a Financial calculator, the Future Value (FV) after 14 years will be $42,782.05.
Thus, after 25 years you will have in your account $42,782.05.

Answer:
A company with long-term debt
A. True/false questions:
1. __TRUE___ The current market rate of interest on this bond is less than 4.65 percent. __FALSE___ The current market rate of the bond affects the amount that the company pays in annual interest. _FALSE____ The current market rate of interest affects the amount of interest expense for the current year.
B. The appropriate multiple choice response:
2. The current market rate of interest on this bond is less than 4.65 percent.
Explanation:
Since the bond is being sold on the New York Bond Exchange at 103.39, it implies that it is selling at a premium. Therefore, the effective interest rate will be less than the face interest rate of 4.65%. This is the reason for the bond to be selling at a premium. That is, it is selling above the face value of 100 per bond. Conversely, when a bond sells at a discount, say 98 per bond, the effective interest rate will be higher than the face interest rate. The face interest rate is the stated interest rate while the effective interest rate is the market rate.
