Answers

Answer 1

Full question attached

Answer and Explanation:

Given probability of damages 0, 1000, 5000, 10000 = 0.8, 0.1, 0.08, 0.02 respectively

Also given that company offers a $500 deductible policy

To find premium amount charged

Equation could be given by

A=X+100 where A is premium charged, X is damage incurred

Substituting 0

A=0+100=100

Substituting 1000

A=1000-500+100=600

Substituting 5000

A=5000-500+100=4600

Substituting 10000

A=10000-500+100=9600

premium amount to be charged

=0.8*100+0.1*600+0.08*4600+0.02*9600 = $700

Moon Company sells Product Q at $6 a unit. In 20XO fixed costs are expected to be $200,000 and variable costs are estimated at $4 a unit. How many units of Product Q must Moon sell to generate operating income of $40,000

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 120,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $6

Unitary variable cost= $4

Fixed costs= $200,000

Desired profit= $40,000

To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (200,000 + 40,000) / (6 - 4)

Break-even point in units= 120,000

Janitorial = $60,000/135,000 = $0.44

Maintenance = $39,000/56,000 = $0.696

The direct method of allocating costs is relatively straightforward.  It only involves the direct allocation of service departments' cost to the operating departments.  Service departments' costs are not allocated to any service department, but they are allocated directly to the operating activities.

Olivia, Kyle, and Andy formed a partnership in which they share all things equally. Kyle contributed an asset on which there is a liability of $22,500, which was assumed by the partnership. Kyle's AB in the asset he contributed was $16,000 and the FMV of the asset on the date of contribution was $60,000. What is Kyle's outside basis immediately after the contribution

Answers

Answer:

$1,000

Explanation:

Calculation for Kyle's outside basis immediately after the contribution

Since the Liability of the amount of $22,500 was distributed among the three partners which makes each of one of them to have a liability of

the amount of $7,500 calculated as: ($22,500/3 partners ), that means that Kyle will have a debt relief of the amount of $15,000 calculated as (7,500 * 2 partners)

Hence,

Kyle's outside basis= Asset contributed - Debt relief amount

Kyle's outside basis=16,000 -15,000

Kyle's Outside basis= $1,000

Therefore Kyle's outside basis immediately after the contribution will be $1,000

A retired auto mechanic hopes to open a rustproofing shop. Customers would be local new-car dealers. Two locations are being considered, one in the center of the city and one on the outskirts. The central city location would involve fixed monthly costs of $6,950 and labor, materials, and transportation costs of $30 per car. The outside location would have fixed monthly costs of $4,500 and labor, materials, and transportation costs of $40 per car. Dealer price at either location will be $90 per car.
1. Which location will yield the greatest profit if monthly demand is (1) 200 cars, (2) 300 cars?
2. At what volume of output will the two sites yield the same monthly profit?

Answers

Answer:

1.

(1) Profit - Location B = $5500

(2) Profit - Location A = $11050

2.

x = 245 cars

Explanation:

1.

Profit is the difference between the revenue and the total cost. To determine which location will provide greatest profit, we need to solve the equation for profit for both the locations under different demand scenarios as given in the question.

Let Location A be the central city location.Let Location B be the outskirts locations

The profit equation for Location A = 90 * x  -  (6950 + 30 * x)

The profit equation for Location B = 90 * x  -  (4500 + 40 * x)

Where x is the monthly demand in number of cars.

Scenario (1) 200 Cars

Profit - Location A = 90 * 200  -  (6950 + 30 * 200)

Profit - Location A = $5050

Profit - Location B = 90 * 200  -  (4500 + 40 * 200)

Profit - Location B = $5500

Scenario (2) 300 Cars

Profit - Location A = 90 * 300  -  (6950 + 30 * 300)

Profit - Location A = $11050

Profit - Location B = 90 * 300  -  (4500 + 40 * 300)

Profit - Location B = $10500

2.

To calculate the output/ demand that will produce the same profit under both locations, we need to equate the two profit equations.

90 * x  -  (6950 + 30 * x)  =  90 * x  -  (4500 + 40 * x)

90x - 30x - 6950  =  90x - 40x - 4500

60x  - 6950  =  50x  -  4500

60x - 50x  =  -4500  +  6950

10x  =  2450

x  =  2450 / 10

x = 245 cars

The Valley Wine Company produces two kinds of wine—Valley Nectar and Valley Red. The wines are produced from 64 tons of grapes the company has acquired this season. A 1,000-gallon batch of Nectar requires 4 tons of grapes, and a batch of Red requires 8 tons. However, production is lim- ited by the availability of only 50 cubic yards of storage space for aging and 120 hours of process- ing time. A batch of each type of wine requires 5 cubic yards of storage space. The processing time for a batch of Nectar is 15 hours, and the processing time for a batch of Red is 8 hours. Demand for each type of wine is limited to seven batches. The profit for a batch of Nectar is $9,000, and the profit for a batch of Red is $12,000. The company wants to determine the number of 1,000-gallon batches of Nectar ( x 1 ) and Red ( x 2 ) to produce in order to maximize profit.Formulate a linear programming model for this problem.Solve this model by using graphical analysis.

he Lubricant is an expensive oil newsletter to which many oil giants subscribe, including Ken Brown (see Problem 3-17 for details). In the last issue, the letter described how the demand for oil products would be extremely high. Apparently, the American consumer will continue to use oil products even if the price of these products doubles. Indeed, one of the articles in the Lubricant states that the chance of a favorable market for oil products was 70%, while the chance of an unfavorable market was only 30%. Ken would like to use these probabilities in determining the best decision. What decision model should be used

Answers

Answer: Expected Monetary Value decision model

Explanation:

The Expected Monetary Value (EMV) model is a statistical method used to calculate future payoffs that accounts for the risk and probability of different events happening.

It essentially takes the average of the scenarios that could happen based on their probabilities and their expected payoff and then adds them together to give a value that the investor can base their expectations upon.

For instance, in the above question, assuming that Ken Brown in a favorable market, Ken Brown can sell $500,000 worth of oil products but in an unfavorable one, they can only sell $100,000.

Based on the probabilities of the market conditions, EMV would show a value of;

= (500,000 * 70%) + (100,000 * 30%)

= $380,000

You have a total of $289,416 in your retirement savings. You want to withdraw $2,500 from your account at the end of every month for living expenses and expect to earn 4.6 percent per year on your money, compounded monthly. How long will it be until you run out of money

Answers

Answer:

You will be able to withdraw $2,500 for 153 months or 12 years, 9 months. The last withdrawal (154th withdrawal) will be smaller, around $782 only.

Explanation:

We can use the present value of an ordinary annuity formula to determine how long it will take to empty the account.

present value of annuity = payment x [1 - 1/(1 + i)ⁿ] / i

289,416 = 2,500 x [1 - 1/(1 + 0.00383333)ⁿ] / 0.00383333

289,416 / 2,500 = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.00383333)ⁿ] / 0.00383333

115.7664 = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.00383333)ⁿ] / 0.00383333

115.7664 x 0.00383333 = 1 - 1/1.00383333ⁿ

0.443770814 = 1 - 1/1.00383333ⁿ

1/1.00383333ⁿ = 1 - 0.443770814

1/1.00383333ⁿ = 0.556229185

1 / 0.556229185 = 1.00383333ⁿ

1.797820081 = 1.00383333ⁿ

n = log 1.797820081 / log 1.00383333 = 0.254746227 / 0.001661611345 = 153.3128 months

Case Unit Price Unit Variable Cost Fixed Costs Depreciation
1 $3,190 $2,555 $8,080,000 $2,860,000
2 116 69 48,000 290,000
3 25 6 3,100 840

Answers

Answer:

Accounting Breakeven = (Fixed Costs + Depreciation)/ ( Sales price - Variable cost)

Cash Breakeven = Fixed Costs / ( Sales price - Variable cost)

1.

Accounting Breakeven = (8,080,000 + 2,860,000) / (3,190 - 2,555) = 17,228.34

Cash Breakeven = 8,080,000/ (3,190 - 2,555) = 12,724.41

Venture capital (VC) firms are pools of private capital that typically invest in small, fast-growing companies that can't raise funds through other means. In exchange for this financing, VCs receive a share of a company's equity, and the founders of the firm typically stay on and continue to manage the company. A VC firm wants management to focus on improving , while the managers may also act to increase . VC investments have two typical components:_______.


(1) managers maintain some ownership in the company and often earn additional equity if the company performs well;


(2) VCs demand seats on the company's board. Management ownership serves to the alignment of the incentives of managers with the incentives of owners.

Answers

Answera dnd Explanation:

A. The incentive conflict in principal-agent relationship as it concerns venture capitalism is conflict between venture capitalists who are the principals and the managers of the business investment who are the agents. The conflict is that venture capitalists are put to increase value of their investment and make profit while salaried managers are only out to feel their pockets through their managerial role in the company as they do not have an interest in the company and are unaffected by the loss or failure of the company. This is known as the principal agent moral hazard issue in venture capitalism

B. By managers maintaining some ownership in the company, there us reduced conflict as managers now see a reason to make sure company succeeds since they have an interest

Venture capitalists aim to have a seat in the board to make sure managers do not take bad decisions since they are able to veto such decisions

The Green Giant has a 4 percent profit margin and a 40 percent dividend payout ratio. The total asset turnover is 1.5 times and the equity multiplier is 1.4 times. What is the sustainable rate of growth?

Answers

Answer:

sustainable growth rate = 5.04%

Explanation:

the sustainable growth rate = retention rate x return on equity

retention rate = 1 - dividend payout ratio = 1 - 40% = 60%return on equity = profit margin x asset turnover x equity multiplier  = 4% x 1.5 x 1.4 = 0.084 = 8.4%

sustainable growth rate = 0.6 x 8.4% = 5.04%

the mathematical explanation on how I determined ROE:

equity multiplier = total assets / equity

1.4 equity = total assets

total assets turnover = net sales / total assets

1.5 = net sales / 1.4 equity

2.1 equity = net sales

profit margin = net profit / net sales

net sales = net profit / 0.04

2.1 equity = net profit / 0.04

2.1 x 0.04 = net profit / equity = ROE = 0.084

Your grandfather wants to establish a scholarship in his father’s name at a local university and has stipulated that you will administer it.

c. $71,429
d. $67,858

Which of the following statements about annuities are true? (Select all that apply.) Check All That Apply The first cash flow of an annuity due is made on the first day of the agreement. The first cash flow of an annuity due is made on the first day of the agreement. The first cash flow of an ordinary annuity is made on the first day of the agreement.

Answers

Answer:

The first cash flow of an annuity due is made on the first day of the agreement. The last cash flow of an ordinary annuity is made on the last day covered by the agreement.

Explanation:

The difference between an Annuity due and an Ordinary annuity is the timing in the period it is paid. Annuity dues are paid in the beginning of the period which means that they accrue more interest because they have the rest of the year to build.

Ordinary annuities on the other hand see their cashflows made on the last day of the period which is why the last cash flow of an ordinary annuity is made on the last day covered by the agreement.

The first cash flow of an annuity due is made on the first day of the agreement. Thus, option A is appropriate.

The movement of money within and outside of a business is known as cash flow. Cash received represents inflows, while cash spent represents outflows. A financial statement that describes the sources and uses of a company's cash over time is called a cash flow statement.

An annuity's first cash flow is made on the initial day of the contract. An annuity with cash flows or payments that start at the start of the period is said to be due. An annuity in arrears is another name for a due annuity. The cash flows start in years one through five. And at time 0 (right now), the very first cash flow happens.

Thus, option A is correct.

1. Predetermined overhead rate

= $1.60

2. Overapplied overhead for the year

= $40,000

3. Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year:

Direct raw materials                      $510,000

Direct labor cost                             $90,000

Manufacturing overhead costs:   $760,000

Cost of Goods Manufactured   $1,360,000

4. Unadjusted Cost of Good Sold for the year:

Direct raw materials                       $510,000

Direct labor cost                              $90,000

Manufacturing overhead applied $800,000

Cost of Goods Sold                     $1,400,000

5) The overapplied overhead can be deducted from the adjusted Cost of Goods Sold to arrive at a cost of goods sold that is equal to $1,360,000.  If there were inventories, the overapplied overhead can be allocated to the cost of goods sold, finished goods inventory, and work in process.

6) Job 215:

Direct materials       $8,500

Direct labor                2,700

Overhead                 13,600 ($1.60 * $8,500)

Total cost              $24,800

Markup  25%            6,200

Price to customer $31,000

7)                        Beginning            Ending

Raw Materials       $20,000       $80,000

Work in Process  $150,000       $70,000

Finished Goods $260,000     $400,000

If direct materials made up $24,000 of the $70,000 ending Work in Process inventory balance, then the balance is made up of $7,600 direct labor and $38,400 Overhead.  The overhead = $24,000 * $1.60 = $38,400.  The direct labor = $70,000 - ($24,000 + 38,400) = $7,600.

Explanation:

Estimated Manufacturing overhead = $800,000

Estimated direct materials = $500,000

Computation of Predetermined overhead rate

= $800,000/$500,000

= $1.60 per direct material

b) Data

Actual Expenses:

Purchase of raw materials    $510,000

Direct labor cost                     $90,000

Manufacturing overhead costs:

Indirect labor         $170,000

Property taxes        $48,000

Depreciation of

 equipment         $260,000

Maintenance         $95,000

Insurance                 $7,000

Rent, building      $180,000

Total overhead                    $760,000

Total manufacturing cost $1,360,000

c) Computation of Overapplied overhead:

Estimated overhead minus actual overhead

= $800,000 - $760,000

= $40,000

Owens Corporation uses a process costing system. For March, the beginning work in process inventory consisted of 60,000 units that were 60% complete with respect to processing. The ending work in process inventory for the month consisted of units that were 20% complete with respect to processing. A summary of unit and cost data for the month follows:
Units Processing Cost
Work-in-process inventory, March 1 60,000 $ 35,000
Units started into production and costs incurred during the month 190,000 $ 700,000
Units completed and transferred out 200,000
Assuming that Owens Corporation uses the FIFO method, which of the following is closest to the cost per equivalent unit for processing cost for March?
A) $3.23
B) $3.98
C) $4.02
D) $4.22

Answers

Answer:

C) $4.02

Explanation:

The computation of cost per equivalent unit for processing cost for March is shown below:-

As we know that

Beginning work in process inventory units + Units started into production  = Ending work in process inventory units + Units completed and transferred out

60,000 + 190,000 = Units in ending work in process inventory + 200,000

Units in ending work in process inventory is

= 60,000 + 190,000 - 200,000

= 50,000

To complete the beginning work in process inventory:-      

Processing:                                                     24,000

60,000 units ×(100% - 60%) a

Units started and completed                          140,000

(200,000 − 60,000) b

Ending work in process inventory Processing:

50,000 units × 20% c                                      10,000

Equivalent units of production                        174,000

Cost added throughout the period e            7,00,000

Equivalent units of production f                     174,000

Cost per equivalent unit e ÷ f                             $4.02

Drake Appliance Company, an accrual basis taxpayer, sells home appliances and service contracts. Determine the effect of each of the following transactions on the company's 2020 gross income assuming that the company uses any available options to defer its taxes.

a. In December 2019. the company received a $1,200 advance payment from a customer for an appliance that Drake special ordered from the manufacturer. The appliance did not arrive from the manufacturer until January 2019, and Drake immediately delivered it to the customer. The sale was reported in 20IS for financial accounting purposes.
b. In October 2019. the company sold a 6-month service contract for $240. The company also sold a 36-month service contract for $1,260 in July 2019.

Answers

Answer:

The correct solution is:

(a) $1200

(b) $330

Explanation:

(a)

The advance payment was issued throughout 2019, but perhaps the items were not shipped in 2019. The products will be shipped in 2020 as well as revenues for financial accounting requirements will be published in 2020. Thus, $1200 would include total sales for 2020.  

So,  

The $1200 total is reflected in the taxable profits for 2020.

(b)

The service contract, for 6 months will be:

⇒  [tex]Gross \ income=240\times \frac{3}{6}[/tex]

                            [tex]=120[/tex] ($)

The service contract, for 36 months will be:

⇒  [tex]Gross \ income = 1260\times \frac{6}{36}[/tex]

                            [tex]=210[/tex] ($)

In 2020, the total gross income included will be:

[tex]=120+210[/tex]

[tex]=330[/tex] ($)

So,

The amount $330 seems to be included throughout 2020 gross income.

Grady is a member of a large family and received the following payments this year. For each payment, determine whether the payment constitutes realized income and determine the amount of each payment Grady must include in his gross income. (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)
A gift of $60,000 of Ford Motor Bonds. Grady received the bonds on October 31, and he received $1,800 of semiannual interest from the bonds on December 31.

Answers

Answer:

Since Grady received the $60,000 gift, he does not owe any taxes on that transaction. When a gift is made, the receiving party pays no taxes, but the giving party has to pay taxes if it exceeds the $15,000 annual threshold or the  $11.4 million lifetime exclusion.

But Grady must include the interests that he earned from the bonds as part of his gross income ($1,800). Interests are taxed as ordinary income.

Who doesn't love a nice, cold scoop of ice cream on a warm day? For thousands of years, ice cream has been a decadent dessert loved by most people around the world.There is some argument about who first invented ice cream. Some believe that ice cream was invented by the Chinese people anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000 years ago. They created a recipe of frozen milk and rice that was served as a dessert. Persia has also been credited with first serving frozen desserts. Over 2,000 years ago, the wealthy people of Persia enjoyed shaved ice from the mountains, covered with grape juice. They later learned to freeze rosewater and add different fruit toppings. These desserts were considered delicacies that only the richest families could experience. About 1,000 years after this, there is evidence that suggested Nero, the Roman Emperor, also enjoyed frozen treats and demanded that a constant supply of ice from the mountains be available to him. He liked to add honey to the top of his dessert.Ice cream as we know it can be traced back to the 9th century in Arab cities, such as Baghdad, Damascus, and Cairo. Near the end of the 13th century, Marco Polo returned to Italy after his travels through China with news of a frozen creamed dessert. In Europe, ice cream could only be found in Italy. Then, in 1533, Italian noblewoman Catherine de'Medici of Italy married Henry II of France. As Queen, Catherine introduced ice cream to France. Soon, the popularity of the dessert spread across all of Europe.The first recorded account of ice cream in the United States was in 1744. In a written letter, a guest of Maryland Governor William Bladen detailed a delicious frozen dessert featuring strawberries and milk. The invention of electricity and manufacturing meant that ice cream could be made and kept much more easily, and the popularity of the frozen treat grew quickly across the country.To start, ice cream was served in a dish. It wasn't until the late 19th century that the ice cream cone made its first appearance. As with ice cream itself, there has always been some controversy over who the true inventor of the ice cream cone was. It is claimed that in 1896, a man by the name of Italo Marchiony invented the ice cream cone in New York City. He was granted a patent for this cup-shaped invention in 1903. Then, in 1904, ice cream was served in a true conical-shaped cone by Ernest Hamwi at the St. Louis World Fair. Whoever the true inventor was, the discovery caught on, and by 1924, Americans were eating over 200 million ice cream cones a year!Select the detail from the text that best supports the idea that experimentation with different toppings lead to the development of different flavors of ice cream. 8.
