Answer:
B. liquidity surplus
Explanation:
The expected cash inflows and outflows of the bank can be summarized using the formula provided below:
Net inflow/(outflow)= incoming deposits-acceptable loan requests+ market borrowings-deposit withdrawals+loan repayments
incoming deposits=$55 million(inflow)
acceptable loan requests=$75 million(outflow)
money market borrowings=$35 million(inflow)
deposit withdrawals= $10 million(outflow)
loan repayment=$30 million(inflow)
Net inflow/(outflow)=$55 million-$75 million+$35 million-$10 million+$30 million
net inflow(outflow)=$35 million
The above net inflow of $35 million represents liquidity surplus

Net profit margin = $16,060/$32,000 * 100 = 50.19%
4b. The net profit margin is better than the 30.0% earned by a close competitor.
Explanation:
The adjustment for Electric Utility does not form part of the adjusted trial balance. If we assume that the payment was eventually made on April 30, the Cash Balance will reduce by $1,560 and the total expenses will increase by the same amount with an equal reduction in the net income to $14,500. This will also reduce the net profit margin to 45.31%.

Question 3: Cost terminology in manufacturing firms a) Direct materials include all materials and components only raw materials such as steel and glass only major materials and components Correct: Your answer is correct. Direct labor includes all production labor including supervisors and maintenance staff only managers who directly supervise the production process only hourly production workers (aka assembly workers) Correct: Your answer is correct. Manufacturing overhead includes only big items that cannot be traced (e.g., factory rent) only non-manufacturing costs only small items that are not worth tracing (e.g., glue, grease) both big items that cannot be traced (e.g., factory rent) and small items that are not worth tracing (e.g., glue, grease) Correct: Your answer is correct. b) Classify the following items as direct materials (DM), direct labor (DL), or manufacturing overhead (OH) for a car assembly plant: Rent for the factory building DL DM OH Correct: Your answer is correct. Cost of engines used in production DL DM OH Correct: Your answer is correct. Depreciation on production equipment DL DM OH Correct: Your answer is correct. Cost of lubricant used in production DL DM OH Correct: Your answer is correct. Production supervisor's salary DL DM OH Correct: Your answer is correct. Assembly workers' wages DL DM OH Correct: Your answer is correct.
Answer:
1. a. Only major materials and components.
Only the major materials and components are include as direct materials because these are the materials that directly needed for production.
b. Only hourly production workers (aka assembly workers).
The direct labor has to be those people who are directly involved in production which in this case is the assembly workers. Managers and Supervisors are not integral so are not direct labor.
c. Both big items that cannot be traced (e.g., factory rent) and small items that are not worth tracing (e.g., glue, grease).
All other items involved in production should be included as manufacturing overheads including big items and small items that cannot be traced.
2.
Rent for the factory building ⇒ Manufacturing Overhead (OH).
Cost of engines used in production ⇒ Direct materials (DM).
Depreciation on production equipment ⇒ Manufacturing Overhead (OH).
Cost of lubricant used in production. ⇒ Manufacturing Overhead (OH).
Production supervisor's salary. ⇒ Manufacturing Overhead (OH).
Assembly workers' wages. ⇒ Direct Labor.
The accounting staff at Valencia Manufacturing, Incorporated has provided the following data for the month of July. The balance in the Work in Process inventory account was $31,000 at the beginning of the month and $21,500 at the end of the month. During the month, the Corporation incurred direct materials cost of $56,800 and direct labor cost of $30,700. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $53,900. The manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $52,800. The cost of goods manufactured for July was:
Answer:
the cost of goods manufactured is $149,800
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods manufactured is given below:
= Opening work in process + total manufacturing cost - ending work in process
= $31,000 + ($56,800 + $30,700 + $52,800) - $21,500
= $31,000 + $140,300 - $21,500
= $149,800
hence, the cost of goods manufactured is $149,800
What is one of the basic principles of economics?
A.
Society’s resources are unlimited.
B.
People never put their own interests as their first priority.
C.
If people demand a product, then businesses are required to supply it.
D.
Society and its individuals have unlimited wants.
Answer:
D. Society and its individuals have unlimited wants.
Explanation:
Economics can be defined as the study of how to use scarce or limited resources to meet the unending needs and wants of the consumers.
One of the basic principles of economics is that society and its individuals have unlimited wants because humans are generally insatiable. Therefore, we are left with the option of choosing (choices) because we cannot have all that we desire or want and the resources used to meet the demands are scarce or limited.
Generally, Economics can be classified into two (2) categories, namely;
1. Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
2. Microeconomics can be defined as the study of the effect of price and quantity levels through interactions between individual buyers and sellers in various markets.
Hence, it is focuses on analyzing or evaluating the decisions of consumers (buyers) and those of firms (sellers) such as methods of production, pricing; and the manner in which government policies affect those decisions.

A rational buyer will: buy a product until the marginal benefit of consuming the product is less than the price of the product. buy the product only when the marginal benefit of consuming the product is twice as much as the price of the product. not consider costs versus benefits when purchasing a product. keep buying a product until marginal benefit equals price.
Answer:
keep buying a product until marginal benefit equals price
Explanation:
A rational consumer would continue to consume a product until the marginal benefit of the last unit consumed equal marginal cost. At this point, utility is maximised.
For example, if the price of a bottle of water is $4. The utility you derive from the first bottle is 6. So you consume one more bottle, the utility you derive from the second bottle is 5. you buy a third bottle. The utility you derive from the 3rd bottle is 4. At this point utility is maximised and you should stop consuming more water
If you consume a 4th bottle, the utility you would derive from it would be 3 utils. This doesn't make sense because you are paying more for the bottle when compared to the utility you would derive from it

Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 3% and the expected rate of return on the market is 14%. I am buying a firm with an expected perpetual cash flow of $1,000 but am unsure of its risk. If I think the beta of the firm is 0.9, when in fact the beta is really 1.8, how much more will I offer for the firm than it is truly worth
Answer: $3,365.98
Explanation:
Value of firm with beta of 0.9.
First use CAPM to find the required return:
= Risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
= 3% + 0.9 * (14% - 3%)
= 12.9%
Firm Value = Perpertual cashflow / Required return
= 1,000 / 12.9%
= $7,751.94
Value of firm with beta of 1.8.
Required return = 3% + 1.8 * (14% - 3%)
= 22.8%
Value of firm = 1,000 / 22.8%
= $4,385.96
Difference = 7,751.94 - 4,385.96
= $3,365.98
You would be paying $3,365.98 than the firm is worth.
Skysong, Inc. compiled the following financial information as of December 31, 2022:
Service revenue $827000
Common stock 181000
Equipment 232000
Operating expenses 748000
Cash 202000
Dividends 64000
Supplies 38000
Accounts payable 113000

Retained earnings, 1/1/22 444000
Skysong's retained earnings on December 31, 2022 are:_________
Answer:
$459,000
Explanation:
The computation of the ending retained earning balance is shown below:
Ending retained earning balance is
= Opening retained earning balance + net income - dividend
where
Net income
= Service revenue - operating expenses
= $827,000 - $748,000
= $79,000
Now the ending retained earnings balance is
= $444,000 + $79,000 - $64,000
= $459,000
The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development was originally founded with the purpose of:_________
Answer:
Explanation:
This banks original purpose for being founded was to provide money and help pay for the reconstruction of European nations that suffered great losses during the second World War. This bank was founded in 1944, one whole year before the end of the war. The war completely destroyed many European nations as well as their economies so it was very difficult for them to rebuild without the help of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
On January 1, 2016, Piper Co., purchased a machine (its only depreciable asset) for $900,000. The machine has a five-year life, and no salvage value. Sum-of-the-years'-digits depreciation has been used for financial statement reporting and the elective straight-line method for income tax reporting. Effective January 1, 2019, for financial statement reporting, Piper decided to change to the straight-line method for depreciation of the machine. Assume that Piper can justify the change. Piper's income before depreciation, before income taxes, and before the cumulative effect of the accounting change (if any), for the year ended December 31, 2019, is $750,000. The income tax rate for 2019, as well as for the years 2016-2018, is 30%. What amount should Piper report as net income for the year ended December 31, 2019
Answer:
$462,000
Explanation:
Computing the Sum-of-the-years'-digits depreciation
Accumulated Depreciation till 2018 = $900,000*(5+4+3)/15
Accumulated Depreciation till 2018 = $900,000*12/15
Accumulated Depreciation till 2018 = $720,000
Book Value at beginning 2019 = $900,000 - $720,000 = $180,000
Depreciation Expense in 2019 = $180,000/2 = $90,000
Net Income before depreciation & taxes = $750,000
Depreciation = $90,000
EBT = Net Income before depreciation & taxes - Depreciation = $750,000 - $90,000 = $660,000
Tax Expenses = EBT * Tax rate = $660,000*30% = $198,000
Net Income = EBT - Tax Expenses
Net Income = $660,000 - $198,000
Net Income = $462,000
So therefore, Piper should report $462,000 as net income for the year ended December 31, 2019
Mirabile Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools--Processing, Supervising, and Other. The costs in those activity cost pools appear below:
Processing $ 5,945
Supervising $ 19,680
Other $ 11,300
Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using the number of batches. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data appear below:
MHs (Processing) Batches (Supervising)
Product M0 13,700 400
Product M5 800 400
Total 14,500 800
Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Processing and Supervising costs to determine product margins.
Product M0 Product M5
Sales (total) $ 81,800 $ 94,400
Direct materials (total)$ 29,400 $ 32,300
Direct labor (total) $ 28,700 $ 42,600
What is the product margin for Product M5 under activity-based costing?
Answer:
Product margin= $9,332
Explanation:
First, we need to allocate the activity cost to product M5:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Processing= 5,945/14,500= $0.41 per machine hour
Supervising= 19,680/800= $24.6 per batch
Product M5:
Processing= 0.41*800= $328
Supervising= 24.6*400= $9,840
Finally, the total cost and the product margin:
Total cost= 32,300 + 42,600 + (328 + 9,840)
Total cost= $85,068
Product margin= 94,400 - 85,068
Product margin= $9,332
M Corp. has an employee benefit plan for compensated absences that gives each employee 15 paid vacation days. Vacation days can be carried over indefinitely. Employees can elect to receive payment in lieu of vacation days. At December 31, 2021, M's unadjusted balance of liability for compensated absences was $35,400. M estimated that there were 200 total vacation days available at December 31, 2021. M's employees earn an average of $177 per day. After recording any necessary adjustment, in its December 31, 2021, balance sheet, what amount of liability for compensated absences is M required to report
Answer:
$35,400
Explanation:
Calculation for what amount of liability for compensated absences is M required to report
Using this formula
Liability for compensated absences=Total vacation days available at December 31, 2021 *Average wage per day
Let plug in the formula
Liability for compensated absences=200*$177 per day
Liability for compensated absences=$35,400
Therefore the Liability for compensated absences at December 31, 2021 will be $35,400

A product priced at $5 has annual sales of 1,000 units. When price is reduced to $4, quantity increases to 1,250 units. Other things unchanged, the price elasticity of demand for the product is:
Answer:
Unitary
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand is demand is defined as a measure of how sensitive quantity of a product demanded is sensitive to changes in price.
Usually an increase in price results in a reduction in quantity demanded, and reduction in price results in an increase in quantity demanded.
Using the midpoint method of calculating price elasticity
Price elasticity = (change in quantity demanded) ÷ (change in price)
Change in quantity demanded = (1000-1250)/(100+1250)/2
Change in quantity demanded = -0.2222
Change in price = (5-4) / (5+4)/2
Change in price = 0.2222
Price elasticity = -0.2222 ÷ 0.2222 = -1
Therefore price elasticity is unitary.
Unitary elasticity means that a a percentage change in price results in equal percentage change in quantity demanded
Conservative Bank offers loans at various interest rates, depending on the nature of the loan. Jake wants to borrow $200,000 for a new home. He promises to pay back the loan in 10 years. Alyssa also wants to borrow $200,000 for a new home. She promises to pay back the loan in 15 years. Assume Jake and Alyssa are equally creditworthy and that the two home mortgages are the same in all other aspects. If all else is constant, the bank would most likely charge a higher interest rate to___.
Answer:
Bank would most likely charge a higher interest rate to Alyssa
Explanation:
Credit worthiness of Jake and Alyssa is same and interestingly amount is also same. But Alyssa is taking it for long period of time say, 15 years while Jake will return in 10 years. Bank decides the interest rate based on the economic conditions. Short term loan are given at lower rate because it is easy to predict the future. But here in both cases, loans are taken for long period. But still Alyssa period is greater than Jake. Thus, bank will charge higher interest rate from Alyssa.
You are asked to assess the current service model for a manufacturing line featuring 8 machines. Based on empirical data you have determined that machines have a 23% likelihood of being down and in need of repair. There are currently 2 workers capable of running and repairing machines. Each of the 8 machines can produce 18 units/hour. The overhead for running each of the 8 machines is $713 per day per machine. Each operator is paid at an hourly rate of $15. [You can assume an 8-hour work day]
a. Determine the total amount of lost work time.
b. Should you hire an additional worker to run the 8 machines in this manufacturing line?
Answer:
A) 14.72 hours
B) An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours
Explanation:
Number of machines on manufacturing line = 8
percentage of machine been down = 23%
number of workers capable of running and repairing machines = 2
machine productivity ( per machine ) = 18 units/hour
overhead cost / machine = $713
hourly rate paid per worker = $15
Total number of work hours = 8 hour
A) calculate Total amount of lost worktime
= number of machines * Total number of work hours * 23%
= 8 * 8 * 23% = 14.72 hours
B) An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours

The Coyote Watershed has two large reservoirs built and operating on-stream to capture storm runoff in the upper watershed. They are named Coyote and Anderson Reservoirs. The capacities of these two reservoirs are 23,244 ac-ft and 90,373 ac-ft, respectively. Coyote Reservoir is approximately five miles upstream from the high water line of Anderson Reservoir and is regulated by releasing water downstream into Anderson Reservoir.
In January, 2017, storms added considerable volume of water to this set of reservoirs, approximately 20,000 ac-ft of runoff were captured. Assuming the upper watershed is 200 square miles and is saturated (100% runoff), calculate the total inches of rain needed to add this amount of runoff to yield this net increase in the two reservoirs combined. Hint: 1 sq. mi. = 640 acres 1 acre-ft= 12 acre inches
Answer:
The answer is "1.875 in of rain"
Explanation:
The reservoir size is negligible. It's just a problem how often rain is required for 20000 acre-feet across an area of 200 square miles.
Calculating the area in acre:
[tex]= 200 \ mi^{2} \times 640 \frac{acre}{mi^2}\\\\= 128,000 \ acres[/tex]
calculating the value of the rainfall in feet:
[tex]= \frac{20,000 \ acre\-feet}{128,000 \ acres}\\\\= 0.15625 \ ft[/tex]
calculating the value of Rainfall in inches:
[tex]= 0.15625 \ ft \times 12 \frac{in}{ft}\\\\= 1.875 \ \text{in of rain}[/tex]

On January 1, Gucci Brothers Inc. started the year with a $696,000 balance in Retained Earnings and a $602,000 balance in common stock. During the year, the company reported net income of $109,000, paid a dividend of $14,400, and issued more common stock for $30,000. What is total stockholders' equity at the end of the year?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, we will first calculate the common stock
Common stock = Balance in common stock + Common stock issued
= $602,000 + $30,000
= $632,000
Retained earnings
= Balance in retained earning + Net income - dividend paid
= $696,000 + $109,000 - $14,400
= $790,600
Total stockholder equity
= Common stock + retained earning
= $632,000 + $790,600
= $1,422,600
