Comans Corporation has two production departments, Milling and Customizing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each production department. The Milling Department’s predetermined overhead rate is based on machine-hours and the Customizing Department’s predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the current year, the company had made the following estimates:
Milling Customizing
Machine-hours 26,000 29,000
Direct labor-hours 11,000 5,000
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $153,400 $18,500
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $1.30
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $5.00
During the current month the company started and finished Job A319. The following data were recorded for this job:
Job A319: Milling Customizing
Machine-hours 70 30
Direct labor-hours 50 60
Direct materials $450 $190
Direct labor cost $580 $570
If the company marks up its manufacturing costs by 20% then the selling price for Job A319 would be closest to:_____.
a. $563.
b. $2,816.
c. $3,379.
d. $4,055.
Answer:
Selling price= $3,379.2
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each department:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Milling= (153,400/26,000) + 1.3= $7.2 per machine hour
Customizing= (18,500/5,000) + 5= $8.7 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead and calculate the total cost:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Milling= 7.2*70= $504
Customizing= 8.7*60= $522
Total cost= (450 + 190) + (580 + 570) + (504 + 522)
Total cost= $2,816
Finally, the selling price:
Selling price= 2,816*1.2= $3,379.2

Chris owns his own business restoring antique cars. Last year, he restored 24 cars, which he sold for $1,100,000. The parts and supplies necessary for the restoration totaled $400,000. He paid $360,000 to his six employees and a salary of $110,000 to himself. The rent and utilities on his building were $80,000. Recently, Chris received an offer to work as Jay Leno’s personal auto restorer, at a salary of $275,000. Chris also received a $180,000 offer to host a car-related reality TV show for the Discovery Channel. Chris can only work one job.

3. Comparing what Chris earns in his current job—both his salary and his company's accounting profit—with his best outside offer, you can conclude that economic profits and losses show:_____.
a. how much an individual would earn in the individual's next best alternative minus how much he or she currently earns?
b. how much an individual currently earns minus how much the individual would earn in his or her next best alternative?
Answer:
a. $950,000.$150,000.a. $1,115,000.d. -$15,000.b. how much an individual currently earns minus how much the individual would earn in his or her next best alternative.Explanation:
1. Chris's accounting cost
The accounting cost is the explicit cost of the business. The normal costs so to speak;
= Parts and supplies necessary for the restoration + Salaries to employees + Salary to himself + Rent and utilities
= 400,000 + 360,000 + 110,000 + 80,000
= $950,000
2. Chris's accounting profit
= Revenue - Accounting cost
= 1,100,000 - 950,000
= $150,000
3. Chris's economic cost
These are explicit + implicit (opportunity) cost.
The opportunity cost is the next best alternative which would have been the $275,000 if he had worked at Jay Leno’s personal auto restorer.
He would therefore forfeit the salary he earns now of $110,000.
= Accounting cost + Salary foregone - Salary
= 950,000 + 275,000 - 110,000
= $1,115,000
4. Chris's economic profit
= 1,100,000 - 1,115,000
= -$15,000
5. b. how much an individual currently earns minus how much the individual would earn in his or her next best alternative.
Star Repairs Co. does all the repair work for a medium-sized manufacturer of handheld computer games. The games are sent directly to Star, and after the games are repaired, Star bills the game manufacturer for cost plus a 20 percent markup. In the month of February, purchases of parts (replacement parts) by Star amounted to $97,000, the beginning inventory of parts was $38,500, and the ending inventory of parts was $15,250. Payments to repair technicians during the month of February totaled $52,500. Overhead incurred was $121,000. a. What was the cost of materials used for repair work during the month of February
Answer:
The correct answer is "$120,250".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Opening inventory
= $38,500
Closing inventory
= $15,250
Purchases
= $97,000
Now,
The cost of materials used during the month of February will be:
= Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory
On putting the estimated values in the above formula, we get
= [tex]38,500+97,000-15,250[/tex]
= [tex]120,250[/tex] ($)

1. Purchases of supplies in December total $4,500.
Dr Supplies expense 3,000
Cr Supplies 3,000
beginning balance = $2,000 + $4,500 = $6,500
supplies expense = $6,500 - ending balance
2. No insurance payments are made in December.
Dr Insurance expense 2,000
Cr Prepaid insurance 2,000

3. $11,000 is paid to employees during December for November salaries.
Dr Salaries expense 16,000
Cr Salaries payable 16,000
The beginning balance of salaries payable = $11,000, then it was paid (balance = $0), so any ending balance represents wages expense.
4. On November 1, a tenant pays Golden Eagle $4,500 in advance rent for the period November through January.
Dr Unearned revenue 1,500
Cr Rental revenue 1,500
Monthly rent revenue = $4,500 / 3 = $1,500

John Law, a local police officer, is sitting outside an AM/PM around Midnight. He is eating a protein bar and drinking an energy drink when he observed a man walking up to the entrance of the AM/PM. The man then walked away from the entrance and met up with another individual on a street corner while repeatedly walking up and down the same street. The men would periodically peer into the AM/PM window and then talk some more. The men also spoke to a third man whom they eventually followed up the street. The officer believed that the men were "casing" the store for a potential robbery. The officer decided to approach the men for questioning, and given the nature of the behavior the officer decided to perform a quick search of the men before questioning. A quick frisking of one of the men, Jake, produced a concealed weapon and Jake was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, a felony.
Jake, hires a lawyer and fights the charges against him. He believes that his greatest argument is that the officer did not have probably cause to search and seize the firearm. Do you agree or disagree? Within your answer, please discuss whether the search was lawful or unlawful. In other words, did the search violate Jake’s 4th Amendment rights?
Answer:
I agree that, the search was lawful due to the fact that, the police officer has every reason to believe that, a crime was about to take place. The man, Jake looking into the store and walking up and down the street creates the impression of an intent. The search did not violate Jake's 4th Amendment rights.
Explanation:
Ang Electronics, Inc., has developed a new DVDR. If the DVDR is successful, the present value of the payoff (when the product is brought to market) is $24 million. If the DVDR fails, the present value of the payoff is $8.5 million. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 50 percent chance of success. Alternatively, the company can delay the launch by one year and spend $1.2 million to test market the DVDR. Test marketing would allow the firm to improve the product and increase the probability of success to 80 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 11 percent.
Required:
Calculate the NPV of going directly to market and the NPV of test marketing before going to market.
Answer:
NPV of going directly to the market:
Expected value of future cash flows = ($24 x 50%) + ($8.5 x 50%) = $16.25 million
There is a 50/50 chance of being a success or a failure, so to determine the expected value you just multiply each option by 50% and add them.
NPV of test marketing before going directly to the market:
Expected value of future cash inflows = ($24 x 80%) + ($8.5 x 20%) = $20.9 (but delayed by 1 year)
PV of expected cash flows = -1.2 (marketing costs) + $20.9/1.11 = $17.80 million

Bombay Energy recently reported (in million USD) $12,500 of Sales, $9,500 of Operating Costs other than Depreciation, and $925 of Depreciation. The company had $3,900 of outstanding bonds that carry a 6% Interest Rate, and its Federal-plus-State Income Tax Rate was 37%. In order to sustain its operations and thus generate future sales and cash flows, the firm was required to make $1,500 of Capital Expenditures on new fixed assets and to invest $450 in Net Operating Working Capital. Calculate Bombay's Net Income and Free Cash Flow.
2. Tangent Corporation, recently reported the following information:
• Net Income - $756,000
• Tax Rate -37% Interest Expense - $300,000
• Total Investor Supplied Capital - $10.5 million
• Weighted Average Cost of Capital -10%
What is the company's EVA?
Answer:
Bombay Energy and Tangent Corporation
1. Bombay Energy
a) Net Income:
Sales $12,500
Operating Costs $9,500
Gross profit $3,000
Depreciation $925
EBIT $2,075
Interest Expense $234
EBT $1,841
Taxes (37%) (681)
Net Income $1,160
b) Free Cash Flow:
= $283
2. Tangent Corporation
a) EVA:
= -$762,720
Explanation:
a) Bombay Data:
Sales $12,500
Operating Costs $9,500
Depreciation $925
Outstanding bonds = $3,900
Interest Rate on bonds = 6%
Interest expense = $234 ($3,900 * 6%)
Federal and State Income Tax Rate = 37%
Capital expenditures = $1,500
Net Operating Working Capital investment = $450
b) Bombay' Free Cash Flow equals its earnings before interest and taxes multiplied by (1 − tax rate), add depreciation and amortization, and then subtract changes in working capital and capital expenditure.
EBIT $2,075 (1 - 37%)
Depreciation 925
Capital expenditure (1,500)
Net working capital (450)
Free Cash Flow $283
= $1,307 + 925 - ($1,500 + 450)
= $283
c) Tangent Data:
Net Income - $756,000
Interest Expense - $300,000
Income before tax $456,000
Tax Rate -37% (168,720)
NOPAT $287,280
Total Investor Supplied Capital - $10.5 million
Weighted Average Cost of Capital -10%
The formula for calculating EVA is:
EVA = NOPAT - (Invested Capital * WACC)
Where:
NOPAT = Net operating profit after taxes
Invested capital = Debt + capital leases + shareholders' equity
WACC = Weighted average cost of capital
= $287,280 - ($10,500,000 * 10%)
= $287,280 - 1,050,000
= -$762,720
Olivia is ordering trendy necklaces and earrings made with semi-precious stones from a supplier in Belize, for her city boutique. Due to low paying wages in Belize, the supplier has promised an excellent wholesale price for these goods. You concur with Olivia when she explains to you that international business law is very clear-cut with these dealings. As long as the supplier is not breaking any labor laws in his country, Olivia's social responsibility is covered.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
b. False
Explanation:
Remember, the term social responsibility in this context refers to an individual doing what would benefit society first, over any gain he may derive if he does otherwise.
For example, we are told that there is "low paying wages in Belize," which means low worker welfare, thus, even if no labor laws were been broken in his country, Olivia has a social responsibility to pay fair prices for the necklaces and earrings.

Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries, they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $500 from corporate bonds. Marc contributed $2,500 to an individual retirement account, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,500 (under a divorce decree effective June 1, 2005). Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $2,000 child tax credit for Matthew. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $3,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the year. (Use the tax rate schedules)
A. What is Marc and Michelle’s gross income?
B. What is Marc and Michelle’s adjusted gross income?C. What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle’s deductions from AGI?D. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?E. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxes payable or refund due for the year?
Answer:
Since we are not given any specific year, I will use the 2020 tax schedule:
Marc and Michelle's gross income = Marc's and Michelle's salaries + interest from corporate bonds = $64,000 + $12,000 + $500 = $76,500
they should choose the standard deduction since it is higher than their itemized deductions = ($24,400)
contribution to IRA = ($2,500)
alimony payment = ($1,500) the divorce agreement was settled before 2019
Marc and Michelle's taxable income = $48,100
Marc and Michelle's tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($48,100 - $19,750)] = $5,377
Interests on municipal bonds is not taxable.
The amount of taxes that they owe = $5,377 - $3,500 (federal tax withholdings) = $1,877
Since they are allowed a $2,000 child tax credit, that will wipe out any taxes owed and result in a $2,000 - $1,877 = $123 refund.
Consulting life (10 points) Mt. Kinley is a strategy consulting firm that divides its consultants into three classes: associates, managers, and partners. The firm has been stable in size for the last 20 years, ignoring growth opportunities in the 90s, but also not suffering from a need to downsize in the recession at the beginning of the 21st century. Specifically, there have been -- and are expected to be -- 200 associates, 60 managers, and 20 partners. The work environment at Mt. Kinley is rather competitive. After four years of working as an associate, a consultant goes ``either up or out''; that is, becomes a manager or is dismissed from the company. Similarly, after six years a manager either becomes a partner or is dismissed. The company recruits MBAs as associate consultants; no hires are made at the manager or partner level. A partner stays with the company for another 10 years (a total of 20 years with the company).a. How many new MBA graduates does Mt. Kinley have to hire every year? b. What are the odds that a new hire at Mt. Kinley will become partner (as opposed to being dismissed after 4 years or 10 years).
Answer:
A. 50
B. 4%
Explanation:
We can easily find out how many new MBA graduates do Mt. Kinley has to hire every year by calculating the flow rate of associates by dividing the average inventory of associates by flow time of associates.
Requirement A:
The flow rate of associates = Average inventory of associates / Flow time of associates
The flow rate of associates = 200/4
The flow rate of associates = 50
Therefore the firm should assign 50 new MBAs every year.
Requirement B
Probability of associate becoming a partner = 20% x 20%
Probability of associate becoming a partner = 4%
The chances that a new hire at Mt. Kinley will become partner are 4%
Working
The flow rate of manager = Average inventory of manager/ Flow time of manager
The flow rate of manager = 60/6
The flow rate of manager = 10 managers/year
The flow rate of partner = Average inventory of partner/ Flow time of partner
The flow rate of manager = 20/10
The flow rate of manager = 2 partners/year
probability of becoming a manager = 10/50
probability of becoming a manager = 20%
Probability of becoming a partner = 2/10
Probability of becoming a partner = 20%
The council members of a small town have decided that the earth levee that protects the town from flooding should be rebuilt and strengthened. The town engineer estimates that the cost of the work at the end of the first year will be $68,000. He estimates that in subsequent years the annual repair costs will decline by $7000, making the second-year cost $61,000; the third-year $54,000, and so forth. The council members want to know what the equivalent present cost is for the first 5 years of repair work if interest is 6%.
Answer:
$230,899
Explanation:
Calculation for what the equivalent present cost is for the first 5 years
Present cost of the repair work = 68,000 * (P/A, 6%,5) - 7,000 * (P/G, 6%,5)
Present cost of the repair work= 68,000 * 4.212364 - 7,000 * 7.934549
Present cost of the repair work= $230,898.90 Approximately $230,899
Therefore the Present cost of the repair work will be $230,899
In the run up to the war in Iraq that began in 2003, one of the many concerns raised was that a war could result in a decrease in the supply of oil. At the same time, the U.S. economy was having a hard time recovering from the recession of 2001 and, as a result, incomes of many consumers had decreased (due to layoffs, wage cuts, and so forth). All else constant, it was reasonable to predict, with certainty, that the combination of these two factors would cause the equilibrium:__________
a. quantity of oil to decrease.
b. quantity of oil to increase.
c. price of oil to increase.
d. price of oil to decrease.
A rise in demand will result in an increase in a good's equilibrium price and output. Hence option C is correct .
What is equilibrium ?According to formal definitions, equilibrium is a condition of balance or rest brought on by the equal activity of opposing forces. Supply and demand are these forces in economics. We shall see that when there is an imbalance between supply and demand, economic forces will operate until the equilibrium is restored.
Depicts the hot dog market's competitive nature, with aggregate supply in yellow and aggregate demand in blue. Hot dog demand decreases as price increases, while supply increases. This diagram contains two crucial details. Equilibrium quantity comes first (QE). QE occurs when the amount supplied and the quantity required are equal.
It is crucial to understand the means through which we arrive at this value. Only one price, known as equilibrium price, can be correlated with equilibrium quantity (PE). The question of how to achieve equilibrium still stands. Let's start by thinking about what happens when the price is too high.

Rick Wing, salesperson for Wave Soldering Systems, Inc. (WSSI), has provided you with a proposal for improving the temperature control on your present machine. The machine uses a hot-air knife to cleanly remove excess solder from printed circuit boards; this is a great concept, but the hot-air temperature control lacks reliability. According to Wing, engineers at WSSI have improved the reliability of the critical temperature controls. The new system still has the four sensitive integrated circuits controlling the temperature, but the new machine has a backup for each. The four integrated circuits have reliabilities of 0.88, 0.90, 0.92, and 0.94. The four backup circuits all have a reliability of 0.88.
The overall reliability of the new temperature controller = nothing% (enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places).

The probability each component would fail
The formula for calculating the Probability:
[tex]\text{Probability (single failed component) = 1-(component reliability)}[/tex]
Probability (A-key IC component failure)=1-(component reliability)=1-0.84
Probability (B-key IC component failure) = 1-(component reliability) = 1-0.86
Probability (C-key IC component failure) = 1-(component reliability) = 1-0.88
Probability (D-key IC component failure) = 1-(component reliability) = 1-0.90
Probability (backup fails)=1-0.84
Device stable = probability (at least one part works)
Using the approach as a supplement,
P (The function of at least one component)

a law firm seeks to recruit top quality experienced lawyers. the total package offered is the sum of three separate components: a basic salary which 1.2 times the candidate's current salary together with an addintional $3000 for each year worked as a qualified lawyer and an extra $1000 for every year that they are over the age of 21.
Work out a formula that could be used to calculate the total salary, S, offered to someone who is A years of age, has E years of relevant experienced and who is 30 years old with five years experienced and who currently earns $150.000.
Answer:
S = 1.2N + 3,000E + 1,000 * (A - 21)$204,000Explanation:
1. An extra $1,000 for every year that they are over the age of 21. If the person is A years of Age then the expression is 1,000 * (A - 21).
An additional $3,000 for each year worked as a qualified lawyer. If the person has E years experience. Expression = 3,000E.
The basic salary is 1.2 time the candidate current salary. If the person currently earns $N the expression is; 1.2N
Putting that all together;
S = 1.2N + 3,000E + 1,000 * (A - 21)
2. Variables are; N = 150,000; E = 5 ; A = 30
S = 1.2N + 3,000E + 1,000 * (A - 21)
= 1.2 * 150,000 + 3,000 * 5 + 1,000 * (30 - 21)
= $204,000
S = 1.2N + 3,000E + 1,000 * (A - 21)
$204,000
What is the current salary?
1. an additional $1,000 for each year that they're over the age of 21. If the person could be years old then the expression is 1,000 * (A - 21).
An additional $3,000 for every year worked as a professional lawyer. If the person has E years experience. Expression = 3,000E.
The basic salary is 1.2 times the candidate's current salary.
When If the person currently earns $N the expression is; 1.2N
Putting that every one together; S = 1.2N + 3,000E + 1,000 * (A - 21)
2. Now, the Variables are; N = 150,000; E = 5 ; A = 30
S = 1.2N + 3,000E + 1,000 * (A - 21)
= 1.2 * 150,000 + 3,000 * 5 + 1,000 * (30 - 21)
= $204,000

Answer:
$7,440,000$5,500,000Explanation:
1. Checkbook balance of $8,000,000 in December 2020.
Check payable to Aruba of $2,000,000 has not yet being deposited so it should be removed from cash balance
Check payable that was returned by the bank of $500,000 should not be included either because it did not clear.
Check drawn on Aruba account of $1,500,000 was recorded but not yet mailed so it should be added back.
Cash on hand - undeposited collections and Change fund are actual cash that should be added as well.
= 8,000,000 - 2,000,000 - 500,000 + 1,500,000 + 400,000 + 40,000
= $7,440,000
2. Cash equivalents are those instruments that can be easily converted to cash. They typically mature within 3 months.
The Cash equivalents here are Treasury bills and Money Market placements
= 2,500,000 + 3,000,000
= $5,500,000
The total amount to be reported as cash on December 31, 2020 is $7,440,000 and the total amount to be reported as cash equivalents on December 31, 2020 is $5,600,000.
1. CASH = Checkbook balance of $8,000,000 + Check payable to Aruba of $2,000,000 + Check payable $500,000 + Check drawn $1,500,000 + Cash on hand - Undeposited collections
CASH = 8,000,000 - 2,000,000 - 500,000 + 1,500,000 + 400,000 + 40,000
CASH = $7,440,000
Cash equivalents = Treasury bills + Money Market placements
Cash equivalents = 2,500,000 + 3,000,000
Cash equivalents = $5,500,000
In conclusion, the total amount to be reported as cash on December 31, 2020 is $7,440,000 and the total amount to be reported as cash equivalents on December 31, 2020 is $5,600,000.
