Answer:
$59,000
Explanation:
We will first determine the variable cost per unit
= $24,000/300
= $80
Contribution margin percentage =
$280 - ($80 - $1.10)/$280
= 0.72
= 72%
New break even point = $18,000/72%
= 25,000
Old break even point =
($280 - $80)/280
= 0.71
= 71%
= $18,000/71%
= $25,352
Margin of safety = $84,000 - $25,000
= $59,000

Cost of goods sold
Current assets
Gross profit
Inventory
Net income
Stockholders' equity
Total assets
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = overstated : $24,265
Current assets = understated : $24,265
Gross profit = understated : $24,265
Inventory = understated : $24,265
Net income = understated : $24,265
Stockholders' equity = understated : $24,265
Total assets = understated : $24,265
Explanation:
Inventory was understated by $24,265 ($327,560 - $303,295). Since inventory is an Asset, also it is a Income Statement element and consequently affects Retained Earnings (Distributions to Shareholders) , the effect is shown above.
On January 1, 2018, Hobart Mfg. Co. purchased a drill press at a cost of $33,600. The drill press is expected to last 10 years and has a residual value of $6,400. During its 10-year life, the equipment is expected to produce 500,000 units of product. In 2018 and 2019, 27,000 and 88,000 units, respectively, were produced.
Required:
Compute depreciation for 2018 and 2019 and the book value of the drill press at December 31, 2018 and 2019, assuming the sum-of- the-years'-digits method is used.
Answer:
2018 = $4,945.46
2019 - $4,450.91
Explanation:
sum-of- the-years'-digits depreciation expense =( number of useful lives remaining / sum of the years ) x (Cost of asset - residual value)
sum of the years = 1 +2 +3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
depreciation expense in 2018 = (10 / 55 ) x ( $33,600 - $6,400) = $27,200 X 0.181818 = $4,945.46
depreciation expense in 2018 = (9 / 55 ) x ( $33,600 - $6,400) = $27,200 X 0.163636 = $4,450.91
Skysong, Inc. reports the following for the month of June. Units Unit Cost Total Cost June 1 Inventory 250 $5 $ 1,250 12 Purchase 500 9 4,500 23 Purchase 375 11 4,125 30 Inventory 125 Calculate Weighted Average Unit Cost
Answer:
Weighted average unit cost = $8.78
Explanation:
The weighted average method of inventory determines the average cost per unit of inventory each time a new batch is received. or every new batch received the average cost per unit is re-computed by dividing the total value of stock by the outstanding number of units.
The explanation is completed using calculation below:
Total value of stock = (250× $5) + (500×$9) + (375 × 11) = $9,875
Total units of stock = 250 + 500 + 375 = 1,125 units
Weighted average unit cost = Total value of stock / total units of stock
= $9875 / 1125 units = $8.78
Weighted average unit cost = $8.78

2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $150,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
Answer:
1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
financial disadvantage = $525,000 - $435,000 = $90,0002. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
No, it shouldn't be accepted3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $150,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
financial advantage = -$90,000 + $150,000 = $60,0004. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
Yes, it should be acceptedExplanation:
outside vendor offer: cost per unit $35 x 15,000 = $525,000
production costs:
direct materials $14 x 15,000 = $210,000
Direct labor $10 x 15,000 = $150,000
Variable manufacturing overhead $3 x 15,000 = $45,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable $6 x 15,000 = $90,000 ($60,000 are non-avoidable)
Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated $9 x 15,000 = $135,000 (all are non-avoidable)
Total cost $42 x 15,000 = $630,000
avoidable production costs = $435,000
The requirements are detailed as follows:
1. Make Buy Difference
Direct materials $ 210,000
Direct labor 150,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 45,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 60,000

The Green Balloon just paid its first annual dividend of $0.49 a share. The firm plans to increase the dividend by 3.7 percent per year indefinitely. What is the firm's cost of equity if the current stock price is $17.2 a share
Answer:
3.80%
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of equity is shown below:
Cost of equity is
= Annual dividend paid × (1 + growth rate) ÷ Stock price + Growth rate
where,
Annual dividend paid is $0.49
Growth rate is 3.7%
And, the stock price is $17.2
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the cost of equity is
= $0.49 × (1 + 0.037) ÷ $17.20 + 0.037
= 0.00105 + 0.037
= 3.80%
g The Federal Reserve can lower short-run output by Group of answer choices lowering the real interest rate. increasing the money supply. decreasing the money supply. lowering the nominal interest rate. None of these answers is correct
Answer: Decreasing the money supply
Explanation:
When the Fed reduces money supply, it will remove the amount of excess money that people have to spend in the economy. This will lead to prices reducing because people no longer have a lot of money to spend on products therefore they will demand less goods. This will lead to the Aggregate demand curve shifting to the left. The new intersection with the Aggregate Supply curve will be at a point where prices will be lower and less quantity will be demanded which will signify a drop in the short-run output of the economy.

Outstanding Equity = 17,000 shares x $100 = $1,700,000
Interest rate = 11%
It is assumed that Buhao Construction pays no taxes
EBIT = $130,000
Debit = $220,000
Interest Expense = $24,200
Net Income = $195,800 ($220,000 - 24,200)
Debit = $420,000
Interest Expense = $46,200
Net Income = $173,800 ($220,000 - 46,200)
b) Debt-to-Equity Ratio of Buhao Construction is the relationship in ratio terms between debts and equity of the company. It shows the percentage of debts over the stockholders' equity.
c) EPS or Earnings per share shows the net income of Buhao Construction that can be attributed to each share. Stockholders use this measure to learn the profits that are generated for each share by the company during the period. A high EPS indicates that the business is profitable for stockholders.

Suppose the government passes a law that reduces unemployment benefits in a way that causes unemployed workers to seek out new jobs more quickly. The policy will cause the natural rate of unemployment to
Options:
a. Fall
b. Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right
Answer:
b. Shift the long-run aggregate supply curve to the right
Explanation:
Indeed, in the long run the aggregate supply or the number of available unemployed workers in the economy would increase, due to an increase in the number of those looking for jobs, since they stand to get reduced unemployment benefits.
This change would be clearly visible if plotted on a labor supply graph. In a sense, the unemployed no longer want to remain unemployed because of reduced unemployment benefits.
A corporation in a 40% tax bracket invests in the preferred stock of another company and earns a 5% pretax rate of return. An individual investor in a 20% tax bracket invests in the same preferred stock and earns the same pretax return. The after-tax return to the corporation is ________, and the after-tax return to the individual investor is
Answer:
The after-tax return to the corporation is __3%______, and the after-tax return to the individual investor is 4%.
Explanation:
A. The after-tax return is the return that is earned by the corporation or individual after the deduction of income tax. Since the corporation and the individual are in different tax brackets, you will normally expect them to earn different after-tax returns.
B. Calculation of the after-tax returns:
After-tax return = Pre-tax return minus income tax
1. Corporation = (100% - 40%) x 5% = 3%
2. Individual = (100% - 20%) x 5% = 4%
A bakery works out a demand function for its chocolate chip cookies and finds it to be q = D(x)= 760-13x, where q is the quantity of cookies sold when the price per cookie, in cents, is x.
Required:
a. Find the elasticity.
b. At what price is the elasticity of demand equal to 1?
c. At what prices is the elasticity of demand elastic?
d. At what prices is the elasticity of demand inelastic?
Answer:
Please refer to the below for explanation.
Explanation:
From the above, the demand function is given as ;
D(x)=760-13x
a) Find the elasticity
It means finding the derivative of the function
D'(X)=-13, hence elasticity is expressed as
xD'(x) / D'(x)
= x(-13) / 760 - 13x
= 13x / 760 - 13x
The elasticity expression is thus ; E(x)= 13x / 760 - 13x
b) At what price is the elasticity demand equal to 1.
The above means that E(X) = 1
Putting 1 for E(X) in the elasticity equation,
E(x) = 13x / 760 - 13x
1 = 13x / 760 - 13x
When you cross multiply, you'll have
760 - 13x = 13x
Collecting like terms, you'll have
760 = 13x + 13x
760 = 26x
Dividing both sides by 26, you'll have
x = 760 /26
x = 29.23
It means that the elasticity at the price of demand = 1 is 29.23
c) At what price is the elasticity of demand elastic.
The above means that E(X) > 1
Thus;
13x / 760 - 13x > 1
When you cross multiply, you'll have
13x > 760 - 13x
Collecting like terms, you'll have
13x + 13x > 760
26x > 760
Dividing both sides by 26, you'll have
x > 760/26
x > 29.23
It means that the elasticity of demand is elastic at x > 29.23
d) At what price is the elasticity of demand inelastic
The above means that E(X) < 1
Hence;
13x / 760 - 13x < 1
When you cross multiply, you'll have
13x < 760 - 13x
Collecting like terms, you'll have
13x + 13x < 76
26x < 760
Dividing both sides by 26, you'll have
x < 760/26
x < 29.23
It means that the elasticity of demand is inelastic at x < 29.23
During 2018, Skechers USA had Sales of $1,846.4, Gross profit of $818.8 million and Selling, General and Administration expenses of $730.7 million. What was Skechers' Cost of sales for 2018
Answer:
The answer is $1,027.6 million
Explanation:
Gross profit = Sales - Cost of Sales(cost of goods sold)
Gross profit = $818.8 million
Sales of $1,846.4 million.
To find Cost of Sales, we rearrange the formula to now be:
Sales - Gross profit
$1,846.4 million - $818.8 million
=$1,027.6 million
Therefore, Skechers' Cost of sales for 2018 is $1,027.6 million

Tri-coat Paints has a current market value of $50 per share with earnings of $5.97. What is the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) if the required return is 12%?
Answer: $0.25
Explanation:
Fron the question, we are informed that Tri-coat Paints has a current market value of $50 per share with earnings of $5.97. We are further told that the required return is 12%.
The present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) will be:
= $50 - ($5.97/12%)
= $50 - ($5.97/0.12)
= $50 - $49.75
= $0.25
Therefore, the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) if the required return is 12% is $0.25.

DEPARTMENTAL PAIR WORKFLOW
Y-Z 150
Z-Y 130
Z-X 100
X-Z 80
Y-X 30
Given that question provided to allocate departments X, Y, and Z in areas 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
So, having that in mind, allocate the distance for each suitable departmental pair;
DEPARTMENTAL PAIR WORKFLOW DISTANCE TOTAL DISTANCE
(meter loads)
Y-Z 150 10 1500
Z-Y 130 -
Z-X 100 10 1000
X-Z 80 -
Y-X 30 20 600
3100
Therefore the total distance (in meters) loads that would be moved each week is 3,100
Interviewers believe that when a candidate says negative things about their current employer, it shows the candidate is emotionally ready to switch to a new company.
a) Mostly true
b) Mostly false
Answer:
b) Mostly false
Explanation:
An Interview is the most essential part for the interviewer or an interviewee. The Interview is a part of a formal meeting where two or more people engage for evaluating, consulting etc. so that both the parties can determine their requirement.
Therefore according to the given situation, it is false to think that interviewer can judge that when the interviewee says the bad things for this current organization or their profile, this does not mean that the employee is ready to switch the job.
So, the right answer is b.

Assume that both labor and capital exhibit diminishing returns. Suppose you can hire an additional unit of labor for $10, and she can product 50 units. You could also buy an additional machine at the cost of $200, and that machine would allow you to produce 1000 units.
If your main concern is minimizing average cost, what should you do?
a) Buy the machine, because it will allow you to produce more
b) Nothing, because you are already minimizing cost
c) There is not enough information to make a legitimate response
d) Hire more labor, because it is cheaper
Answer:
b) Nothing, because you are already minimizing cost
Explanation:
cost of producing one additional unit by hiring more workers = $10 / 50 units = $0.20 per unit
cost of producing one additional unit by buying the machine = $200 / 1,000 units = $0.20 per unit
Since labor exhibits a diminishing return, the next unit of labor will produce less than 50 units. This means that if you want to increase production, you should buy the machine.
Using the same logic, the previous units of labor were able to produce more than 50 units, which means that the average total cost was lower using labor than the machine. So if the company's concern is to minimize costs, then they are already doing so.
Mary, a merchant, was in the business of selling flowers to local florists. Melissa was the owner of Little Flower, Inc. and she regularly purchased her flowers from Mary. One day, Melissa called Mary and ordered 20 dozen roses, 15 dozen carnations, 10 dozen daisies, baby breaths, 6 dozen tulips, and some plants. Everything totaled $1,200, and was to be delivered in 14 days. After the two ended their call, Mary sent Melissa an e-mail detailing the order and her acceptance. Melissa never responded to the e-mail. Eleven days later, Mary delivered the merchandise to Melissa, but she refused shipment. Mary sued Melissa for breach of contract. What is the likely result?
Answer:
Generally UCC rules establish that contracts involving the sale of goods worth more than $500 must be in writing and signed. But this rule doesn't apply to merchants that are involved in routine buy/sell activities. In this case, both Mary and Melissa are considered merchants and the phone call and the email are enough proof against Melissa for breach of contract. In my opinion, Mary would win the lawsuit.
Starbucks (Croatia). Starbucks opened its first store in Zagreb, Croatia, in October 2010. In Zagreb, the price of a tall vanilla latte is 25.70 Croatian kunas (kn or HRK). In New York City, the price of a tall vanilla latte is $2.65. The exchange rate between Croatian kunas and U.S. dollars is kn5.6288.
(a) According to purchasing power parity, is the Croatian kuna overvalued or undervalued?
(b) By what percent is the kuna overvalued or undervalued?
Answer:
a. Overvalued
b. 72.3% overvalued
Explanation:
a. Purchasing power parity when held, shows that prices of a specific good is the same across the world.
Price in New York = $2.65
Price in Zagreb = kn25.70
$1 = 25.70/2.65
$1 = kn9.6981
According to PPP, Croatian Kuna is Overvalued as the exchange rate per the Vanilla Latte is higher than the official exchange rate.
b. = [tex]\frac{9.6981 - 5.6288}{5.6288.}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4.0693}{5.6288}[/tex]
= 72.3% overvalued

Marin Inc. issues $2, 084, 300 of 10% bonds due in 13 years with interest payable at year-end. The current market rate of interest for bonds of similar risk is 11%. What amount will Marin receive when it issues the bonds? (Round factor values to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 458, 581.) Amount received by Marin when bonds were issued $________________
Answer:
$1,943,618.62
Explanation:
the current market price of the bond = present value of the face value + present value of coupon payments
present value of face value = $2,084,300 / (1 + 11%)¹³ = $536,736.96
present value of coupon payments = $208,430 x 6.7499 (annuity factor, 11%, 13 years) = $1,406.881.66
market value of the bonds = $1,943,618.62
the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds:
Dr Cash 1,943,618.62
Dr Discount on bonds payable 140,681.38
Cr Bonds payable 2,084,300
Cooley Company's stock has a beta of 1.40, the risk-free rate is 25%, and the market risk premium is 5.50%. What is the firm's required rate of return
Answer: 12.2%
Explanation:
Given the variables available, the required rate of return can be computed using the Capital Asset Pricing Model with the formula;
Required Return = Risk-free rate + beta ( Market risk premium)
Required return = 4.25% + 1.4 * 5.5%
Required return = 4.25% + 7.7%
Required return = 12.2%
Note; The actual question says the Risk-free rate is 4.25%.
Badger Company had $1,060,000 of sales in each of three consecutive years 2012–2014, and it purchased merchandise costing $580,000 in each of those years. It also maintained a $360,000 physical inventory from the beginning to the end of that three-year period. In accounting for inventory, it made an error at the end of year 2012 that caused its year-end 2012 inventory to appear on its statements as $340,000 rather than the correct $360,000.
Prepare comparative income statements to show the effect of this error on the company's cost of goods sold and gross profit for each of the years 2012−2014.
Answer:
COGS more in 2012 less in 2013
Gross Profit Less in 2012 more in 2013
Explanation:
Badger Company
Comparative Income Statements
2012 2013 2014
Sales $1,060,000 $1,060,000 $1,060,000
Beginning Inventory $360,000 $340,000 $360,000
Add purchases $580,000 $580,000 $580,000
Less Ending $340,000 $360,000 $360,000
Cost Of Goods Sold $600,000 $ 560,000 $580,000
Gross Profit $ 460,000 $ 500,000 $480,000
The company's gross profit would be understated in 2012 by $ 20,000 and overstated in 2013 by $ 20,000. This $ 20,000 amount is equal to the the difference in the amount of the wrong inventory entry and the correct ending inventory. However the company will have regular profit in the third year. The wrong entry would have no effect in the third year.
The Cost of Goods Sold would be overstated both in 2012 by $ 20,000 and understated in 2013 by $ 20,000. The Cost of Goods Sold will show no effect of wrong entry in the third year.
