Answer:
The disadvantage of offering credit would be that Kate loses $125 on the sale of each $5,000 package.
$125 is 2.5% of $5,000
Her expected gain is shortened by $125 and now becomes (500 - 125 = $375).
Explanation:
The advantage of offering credit would be that immediate cash is provided, upon presentation of the sales receipts.

The Donut Stop acquired equipment for $11,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation and estimates a residual value of $2,200 and a four-year service life. At the end of the second year, the company estimates that the equipment will be useful for four additional years, for a total service life of six years rather than the original four. At the same time, the company also changed the estimated residual value to $1,200 from the original estimate of $2,200.
Required:
Calculate how much the donut stop should record each year for depreciation in years 3 to 6?
Answer:
$1350
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
depreciation expense under the initial assumptions
($11,000 - $2,200) / 4 = $2200
Accumulated depreciation at the end of year 2 = $2200 x 2 = $4400
Book value at the beginning of year 3 = $11,000 - $4400 = $6600
Depreciation expense using the new assumptions
($6600 - $1200) / 4 = $1350
Consider the market for meekers in the imaginary economy of Meekertown. In the absence of international trade, the domestic price of a meeker is $23. Suppose that the world price for a meeker is $24. Assume that Meekertown is too small to influence the world price for meekers once they enter meeker the international market. If Meekertown allows free trade, then it will _______________ meeker.
When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
Export
true
Explanation:
Because the price of meekers in meekertown is lower than the world price for meekers, meekers from meekertown are cheaper. so if free trade is allowed, other countries would want to purchase meekers from meekertown because it is cheaper.
So, meekertown would export meekers if free trade is allowed.
When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
this is so because if the country is efficient in production of a good (producing at a lower price when compared to the world price), export of the good would increase thus increasing producer surplus. if on the other hand, the country is inefficient in producing a good and the country allows for free trade, the country can import the good. this would increase consumer surplus.
A job was timed for 60 cycles and had an average of 1.2 minutes per piece. The performance rating was 95%, and workday allowances are 10 percent. Determine each of the following:
a. Observed time.
b. Normal time.
c. Standard time.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a) Observation time is
= Average time
= 1.2 minutes
b) The Normal time is
= Observation time × performance rating
= 1.2 minutes × 0.95
= 1.14 minutes
3. The standard time is
= normal time × Allowance factor
where,
Normal time is 1.14 minutes
And, the Allowance factor is
= 1 ÷ (1- A)
= 1 ÷ (1- 0.1)
= 1.11
So, the standard time is
= 1.14 × 1.11
= 1.265 minutes.
The break-even quantity is a. Fixed Costs/Marginal Cost b. Contribution Margin/Fixed Costs c. Fixed Costs/Price d. Fixed Costs/(Price – Marginal Costs)
Answer:
d. Fixed Costs/(Price – Marginal Costs)
Explanation:
The break-even quantity is the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero. it is the point at which revenues equals cost.
Break even quantity = Fixed Costs/(Price – Marginal Costs)
or Fixed cost / contribution margin

Elmhurst Corporation is considering changes to its responsibility accounting system. Which of the following statements is/are correct for a responsibility accounting system.
i. In a cost center, managers are responsible for controlling costs but not revenue.
ii. The idea behind responsibility accounting is that a manager should be held responsible for those items that the manager can control to a significant extent.
iii. To be effective, a good responsibility accounting system must help managers to plan and to control.
iv. Costs that are allocated to a responsibility center are normally controllable by the responsibility center manager.
1. I and II only are correct.
2. II and III only are correct.
3. I, II, and III are correct.
4. I, II and IV are correct.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
I, II, and III are correct (3.)
Explanation:
A Responsibility Accounting System (RAS) is an accounting program that is used to estimate how well departments are managing expenses and controlling costs with the most minimal day-to-day involvement of the executive or the central department. This system puts the departmental manager in charge of the day-to-day control and allocation of expenses and costs. This does not mean the total control of costs by the departmental managers, but controllable costs. Hence, from the lists in the question, the correct attributes associated with RAS are:
i. In a cost center, managers are responsible for controlling costs but not revenue: revenue control is an exclusive reserve of the executive or central department.
ii. The idea behind responsibility accounting is that a manager should be held responsible for those items that the manager can control to a significant extent
iii. To be effective, a good responsibility accounting system must help managers to plan and to control: this emphasises that the RAS doesn't spell complete independence from the executive.
statement iv. (Costs that are allocated to a responsibility center are normally controllable by the responsibility center manager.) is incorrect because costs assigned to a responsibility center is not controlled by the responsibility center manager, but by the departmental manager.
Consider the circular flow model to answer the questions that follow.
a. In the circular flow model, households provide inputs to firms through the _____________ and in exchange receive _____________ from firms.
b. In the circular flow model, firms receive ___________ from households when households purchase goods and services in the
Answer:
The answer is :
A. Resource market - income
B. Expenditure - product market.
Explanation:
A. Resource market - income
B. Expenditure - product market
The circular flow model shows how money moves through the economy in exchange for goods, services, and resources.
A.
In circular flow of income, households provide inputs to firms through the resource market(matket where households supply land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship) in exchange for money(income or wages).
B.
Also in circular flow of income, firms receives expenditure from household and this type of market is called product market(which refers to a place where goods and services are bought and sold)
If the contribution margin ratio is 0.4, targeted operating income is $70,000, and targeted sales volume in dollars is $250,000, then total fixed costs are ________.
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
For the computation of total fixed cost first we need to compute the contribution margin ratio which is shown below:-
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales
0.4 = Contribution margin ÷ $250,000
Contribution margin = $250,000 × 0.4
= $100,000
Total fixed expenses = Contribution margin - operating income
= $100,000 - $70,000
= $30,000
So, we have applied the above formula.
Port Allen Chemical Company processes raw material D into joint products E and F. Raw material D costs $4 per liter. It costs $100 to convert 100 liters of D into 60 liters of E and 40 liters of F. Product F can be sold immediately for $4 per liter or processed further into Product G at an additional cost of $3 per liter. Product G can then be sold for $9 per liter.
a. Determine whether Product F should be sold or processed further into Product G.
b. Calculate the net advantage (disadvantage) of further processing.
c. Use a negative sign with your answer to indicate a net disadvantage (if applicable).
Answer:
a) Product G should be produced and sold
b) Net financial advantage $80
Explanation:
A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.
Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .
$
Revenue after split-off point
($9× 40 litres) 360
Revenue at the slit of point
($4 × 40) (160)
Additional income from further processing 200
Further processing cost ($3× 40) (120)
Incremental income from further processing 80
Incremental income from further processing = $80
a) The product F should be processed further and sold as product G. Doing so would increase the net income by $80.
b) Net advantage $80
Gerritt wants to buy a car that costs $31,000. The interest rate on his loan is 5.67 percent compounded monthly and the loan is for 5 years. What are his monthly payments?
Answer:
$594.57
Explanation:
For computing the monthly payment we need to apply the PMT formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $31,000
Future value or Face value = 0
Rate = 5.67% ÷ 12 months = 0.4725
NPER = 5 years × 12 = 60 years
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the formula, the monthly payment is $594.57
In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $7 million, patent; $5 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $9 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life.
Required:
What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items?
Answer:
$1,400,000 per year
Explanation:
DATA
Patent = 7 million with 5years useful life
Trademark = 5 million with an indefinite life
Goodwill = 9million
Amortization =?
Solution
Amortization of patent = Patent Value/ Useful life
Amortization of patent = $7,000,000/5
Amortization of patent = $1,400,000 per year
NOTE: Trademark and goodwill will not be amortized as they have an indefinite useful life. Both Intangible assets will be tested for impairment instead.
Genent Industries, Inc. (GII), developed standard costs for direct material and direct labor. In 2017, GII estimated the following standard costs for one of their major products, the 30−gallon heavy−duty plastic container. Budgeted quantity Budgeted price Direct materials 0.3 pounds $20 per pound Direct labor 0.7 hours $20 per hour During July, GII produced and sold 4,000 containers using 1,500 pounds of direct materials at an average cost per pound of $17 and 2,875 direct manufacturing labor hours at an average wage of $20.50 per hour. July's direct material flexible−budget variance is ________.
Answer:
July's direct material flexible−budget variance is $ 1500.unfav
Explanation:
Genent Industries, Inc. (GII),
Budgeted quantity Budgeted price
Direct materials 0.3 pounds $20 per pound
Direct labor 0.7 hours $20 per hour
Actual Price for 15000 pounds and 2,875 DLH
Direct Materials $17 per pound
Direct manufacturing labor hours wages $20.50 per hour.
July's direct material flexible−budget variance is $ 1500. unfav
Budgeted Cost for 4000 containers -Actual Cost for 4000 containers
= $ 24000- $ 25500 = $ 1500
Since the actual cost is greater it is unfavorable
Flexible Budget Variance is obtained by subtracting actual costs from flexible budget costs at a given volume.
1 container requires 0.3 pounds
4000 containers require 0.3 * 4000= 1200 pounds
But actually 1500 pounds were used .
Now costs
Budgeted Costs for 1200 pounds is = 20 *1200= $24000
Actual Costs for 1500 pounds is = 17* 1500 = $ 25 500

Answer:
Budgeted sales July= $63,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A July sales forecast projects that 6,000 units are going to be sold at a price of $10.50 per unit.
To calculate the budgeted sales, we simply need to multiply the number of units sold for the selling price:
Budgeted sales July= 6,000*10.5= $63,000
Paulo owns a few shares of stock in a large and diversified firm. He realizes that the CEO of the company is responsible for a multi-billion dollar business, but is upset with what he feels is excessive compensation for the chief executive officer, particularly since the firm has reported losses for the past two years. Paulo's concerns are:
Answer: likely to be well-founded since CEO compensation at many U.S. companies has actually increased even when the company performed poorly
Explanation:
The options to the question are:
A. unfounded, since laws in the United States prevent firms from paying large salaries or bonuses to executives when a firm reports a loss.
B. based on an erroneous conclusion, because CEO pay is always based on a formula tied to the company's profits and losses.
C.likely to be well-founded since CEO compensation at many U.S. companies has actually increased even when the company performed poorly.
D. not entirely unfounded, but he needs to realize that the pay received by most chief executives must be reinvested in the company if it's unprofitable for three years in a row.
From the question, we are informed that Paulo owns a few shares of stock in a large and diversified firm na that he noticed that the CEO of the company is responsible for a multi-billion dollar business, but is upset with what he feels is excessive compensation for the CEO particularly since the firm has reported losses for the past two years.
Paulo's concerns are likely to be well-founded since CEO compensation at many U.S. companies has actually increased even when the company performed poorly.
Advika is a resident of India who exports hand-dyed fabrics to other nations. Since India has an exchange control system, what does this mean for Advika
Answer: The Reserve Bank of India keeps all of Advika’s foreign currency for her.
Explanation:
When a country uses exchange controls, it limits the amount of foreign currency that can come into a country. This is usually done to ensure stability in the money market of the country as well as to improve the balance of payments for the country.
One way of implementing exchange control is for all foreign currency to go through the Central bank of the country. Should a citizen need access to foreign currency, they would need to apply to the central bank to access it. With India having an exchange control system, the Reserve Bank of India keeps all foreign currency and Advika would have to apply for it should she need it.
Absorption costing can lead managers to mistakenly believe that fixed manufacturing overhead costs will ______ in total as the number of units produced increases.
Answer:
Decrease
Explanation:
Absorption costing includes both variable and fixed manufacturing costs in determining product cost.
As the number of units produced increases, unit fixed costs decrease because there are as much units to absorb the Fixed Costs.
In total however, the Fixed costs remain constant within relevant range.
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Hudson Co. reports the contribution margin income statement for 2017. HUDSON CO. Contribution Margin Income Statement For Year Ended December 31, 2017 Sales (11,300 units at $175 each) $ 1,977,500 Variable costs (11,300 units at $140 each) 1,582,000 Contribution margin $ 395,500 Fixed costs 315,000 Pretax income $ 80,500 Assume the company is considering investing in a new machine that will increase its fixed costs by $37,000 per year and decrease its variable costs by $8 per unit. Prepare a forecasted contribution margin income statement for 2018 assuming the company purchases this machine.
Answer:
Pretax income= $133,900
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $175
New unitary variable cost= $132
New fixed costs= 315,000 + 37,000= 352,000
Now, we can determine the new operating income:
Sales= 11,300*175= 1,977,500
Total variable cost= 11,300*132= (1,491,600)
Total contribution margin= 485,900
Fixed costs= (352,000)
Pretax income= 133,900
Elmo Johnson was late on his property tax payment to the county. He owed $7,500 and paid the tax four months late. The county charges an annual penalty of 10%. Find the amount of the penalty for the four-month period.
Answer: $250
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that Elmo Johnson was late on his property tax payment to the county and that he owed $7,500 and paid the tax four months late.
We are further told that the county charges an annual penalty of 10%. The amount of the penalty for the four-month period goes thus:
Annual penalty = 10% × $7500
= 0.1 × $7500
= $750
Since he is four months late and there are twelve months in a year, this will be:
= $750 × 4/12
= $750 × 1/3
= $750/3
= $250
Peyton sells an office building and the associated land on May 1 of the current year. Under the terms of the sales contract, Peyton is to receive $1,763,800 in cash. The purchaser is to assume Peyton's mortgage of $1,058,280 on the property. To enable the purchaser to obtain adequate financing, Peyton is to pay the $105,828 in points charged by the lender. The broker's commission on the sale is $70,552. What is Peyton's amount realized? The amount realized by Peyton is $ .
Answer:
$2,645,700
Explanation:
realized amount = cash received + assumed mortgage - points paid by seller - broker's commission = $1,763,800 + $1,058,280 - $105,828 - $70,552 = $2,645,700
The amount realized includes all the money received and any debts assumed by the buyer, minus any expenses paid by the seller that are related to the transaction.
A company's flexible budget for 13,200 units of production showed sales, $54,120; variable costs, $21,120; and fixed costs, $18,000. The operating income expected if the company produces and sells 19,600 units is:
Answer:
Net income= $31,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 13,200
Sales= 54,120
Variable costs= $21,120
Fixed costs= $18,000
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= total contribution margin/number of units
Unitary contribution margin= (54,120 - 21,120) / 13,200
Unitary contribution margin= $2.5
Now, for 19,600 units:
Total contribution margin= 2.5*19,600= 49,000
Fixed costs= (18,000)
Net income= 31,000

Playa Inc. owns 85 percent of Seashore Inc. During 20X8, Playa sold goods with a 25 percent gross profit to Seashore. Seashore sold all of these goods in 20X8. How should 20X8 consolidated income statement items be adjusted g
Answer:
Debit the Cost of Sales and,
Credit the Revenue.
Explanation:
Transactions that occur within a group of companies must be eliminated. Playa is a Parent (85%) and Seashore Inc is a Subsidiary.
The effect of the Sale by Playa to Seashore is that Group Cost of Sales and Revenue would be over-valued by the price of intragroup sale.
Thus, the adjustment for this intragroup sale, is to Debit the Cost of Sales and Credit the Revenue.
Nana Kay Ltd is a multiproduct firm. The revenues of a single product, Germ-D, are GH¢200,000 when 10,000 units are sold. Variable costs are GH¢16 per unit. Direct fixed expenses of GH¢25,000 consists primarily of depreciation on equipment specialised to the product. By what amount will Nana Kay Ltd' cash flow change if the product is dropped? Would you advise Nana Kay Ltd to drop Germ-D
Answer:
Nana Kay Ltd' cash flow will change by GH¢160,000 if the product is dropped.
Explanation:
Variable costs are cost that change as the level of output change. Therefore, no variable cost will be incurred when there is no sales or production. The variable cost of Nana Kay Ltd can be calculate as follows:
Total variable costs = Units sold * Variable cost per unit = 10,000 * GH¢16 = GH¢160,000
Fixed expenses are expenses that remains the same when there is a change in the level of output. Therefore, fixed expenses will still be incurred whether or not there is a sale or production. The direct fixed expenses of Nana Kay Ltd is GH¢25,000.
From the explanation above, it can be seen that only the variable cost will change, will not be incurred or will become zero when Nana Kay Ltd dropped the product. Therefore, Nana Kay Ltd' cash flow will change by GH¢160,000 if the product is dropped.

= $30
We simply applied the above formula
