The selling price of a particular product is $6 per unit, fixed costs total $18,000 , and the breakeven sales in dollars is $24,000 . What would be the variable expense per unit?
Answer:
$1.5= unitary variable cost
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The selling price of a particular product is $6 per unit, fixed costs total $18,000, and the breakeven sales in dollars is $24,000
To calculate the unitary variable cost, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 24,000/6= 4,000
4,000= 18,000/ (6 - unitary variable cost)
24,000 - 4,000unitary variable cost = 18,000
6,000 = 4,000unitary variable cost
1.5= unitary variable cost
Sunland Company reported the following information for 2016: October November December Budgeted sales $1300000 $1200000 $1540000 All sales are on credit. Customer amounts on account are collected 50% in the month of sale and 50% in the following month. How much cash will Sunland receive in November?
Answer:
Total cash receipts - November = $1250000
Explanation:
The credit sales are collected for in such a manner that the 50% amount of this month's sale and the 50% amount of previous month's sales are collected in the correct month. Thus, when calculating the cash receipts for November, we know that the 50% of collections will be for October's sales and the 50% of collections will be from the November's sales.
Cash receipts in November:
From October's sales = 1300000 * 0.5 = $650000
From November's sales = 1200000 * 0.5 = $60000
Total cash receipts - November = 650000 + 600000
Total cash receipts - November = $1250000

Suppose the 2017 financial statements of 3M Company report net sales of $21.7 billion. Accounts receivable (net) are $3.40 billion at the beginning of the year and $3.42 billion at the end of the year.
1. Compute 3M’s receivable turnover.
2. Compute 3M’s average collection period for accounts receivable in days.
Answer:
A.Receivable turnover 6.36
B. Average collection period 57.38
Explanation:
A. Computation of 3M Company’s receivable turnover
Using this formula
Receivable turnover= Net annual credit sale / (beginning accounts receivable+ending accounts receivable)/2
Let plug in the formula
Receivable turnover=21.7/ ((3.40 +3.42)/2)
Receivable turnover= 21.7/(6.82/2)
Receivable turnover=21.7/3.41
Receivable turnover=6.36
B. Computation of 3M Company’s average collection period for accounts receivable in days
Using this formula
Average collection period = Number of days in a year/Receivable Turnover
Let plug in the formula
Average collection period=365 /6.36
Average collection period= 57.38
Therefore Receivable turnover will be 6.36 and the Average collection period will be 57.38.
From past records it is known that 10% of items from a production line are defective. If two items are selected at random, what is the probability that only one is defective?
Answer:
0.2
Explanation:
The Probability distribution is the function which describes the likelihood of possible values assuming a random variable. The 10% of the items from the production line are assumed to be defective. There is a sample selection of 2 items. The probability that one of the item among the selected sample of two items is found defective is 0.2 (2 items sample *10%)
he Clark Company fails to record these two adjusting journal entries: Depreciation on Equipment: $10 Cash Dividends declared: $40 Working capital will be:
Answer:
Working Capital will be overstated by the amount of $40.
Explanation:
Of the two the adjusting entries, we need to identify the adjusting entry that affects any element of Working Capital (Current Assets or Current Liability).
Depreciation Entries include : Debit Depreciation Expense (Expense) $10 and Credit Accumulated Depreciation $10.
Cash Dividends Declared Entries include : Debit Dividend (Equity) $40 and Credit Shareholders for Dividends (Liability) $40.
Thus, the Liabilities will be understated due to omission of Cash Dividends Declared Entries.
Subsequently, Working Capital will be overstated by the amount of $40.
On Jan 15th, Mr. White discovered that the net income for the previous year was understated by $60,000. Mr. Black tells Mr. White that this net income of $60,000 should be shared in the proportion of their current capital balances. (Mr. White = 150,000/$250,000 = 60% = $36,000; Mr. Black = $100,000/$250,000 = 40% = $24,000). But Mr. White feels that the additional income should be shared in the ratio of 2:1 ($60,000 x 2/3 = $40,000 Mr. White; $60,000 x 1/3 = $20,000 Mr. Black). Who is correct? Why?
Answer:
Mr. Black is correct. There is a basis established by their current capital balances. Mr. White's ratio of 2 : 1 has not discernible basis, unless that has been their profit sharing ratio.
Explanation:
In the absence of any contrary agreement, partners in a partnership business always share their net income based on their capital contributions. Sometimes, this may not be strictly followed, especially with changes effected over the years, it becomes necessary to adopt home-grown solutions. One of such is the current capital balances, instead of the original capital contributions. This approach takes care of changes and value contributions over a number of years that the business has been in operation, which the current capital accounts will always show.
Exhibit 35-4 Refer to Exhibit 35-4. Under a fixed exchange rate system, at the exchange rate of E 3, the dollar is __________ and there is a __________.
Please find diagram for question attached
Question options:
a.
overvalued; surplus of dollars
b.
undervalued; shortage of pesos
c.
overvalued; shortage of dollars
d.
undervalued; surplus of pesos
Answer:
Overvalued and there is a shortage of dollars
Explanation:
An increase in dollar price to buy peso means that dollar here is overvalued as it is above the equilibrium price(E2),and therefore it would be expensive to buy goods that are sold for a certain amount of dollars or in dollar currency with the Mexican pesos. This is because the fixed exchange rate system tries to ensure smooth and inexpensive trade between countries as it has to do with currency trading barriers by pegging a currency to another(in this case dollars) but here the dollar price increase for peso makes it more expensive to buy dollar products with pesos. Also this is caused here by the shortage of dollars.
To answer this question, refer to the crossover chart. For high volume production process, Process A would most likely be the best option. Group of answer choices True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
For a high volume Process, Process C would be the best option because it has the lowest cost at higher volumes.
Process A would be the best option if the company was looking for a low volume production process because at that point, it has the lowest cost. When it comes to high volume production though, Option A is the worst option as it is the most expensive.
Your company assembles five different models of a motor scooter that is sold in specialty stores in the United States. The company uses the same engine for all five models. You have been given the assignment of choosing a supplier for these engines for the coming year. Due to the size of your warehouse and other administrative restrictions, you must order the engines in lot sizes of 1,100 each. Because of the unique characteristics of the engine, special tooling is needed during the manufacturing process for which you agree to reimburse the supplier. Your assistant has obtained quotes from two reliable engine suppliers and you need to decide which to use. The following data have been collected:
Requirements (annual forecast) 13,200 units
Weight per engine 25 pounds
Order processing cost $230 per order
Inventory carry cost 20 percent of the average value of inventory per year
Note: Assume that half of lot size is in inventory on average (1,100/2 = 550 units).
Two qualified suppliers have submitted the following quotations:
ORDER QUANTITY SUPPLIER 1 SUPPLIER 2
UNIT PRICE UNIT PRICE
1 to 1,499 units/order $ 553 $ 552
1,500 to 2,999 units/order 551 552
3,000 + units/order 543 542
Tooling costs $ 28,300 $ 24,400
Distance 120 miles 100 miles
Your assistant has obtained the following freight rates from your carrier:
Truckload (42,000 lbs. each load): $0.80 per ton-mile
Less-than-truckload: $1.20 per ton-mile
Note: Per ton-mile = 2,000 lbs. per mile.
a-1.Calculate the total cost for each supplier. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
a-2. Which supplier would you select?
b. If you could move the lot size up to ship in truckload quantities, calculate the total cost for each supplier.
Answer:
A)
Sup 1 $7,415,250
Sup 2 $7,394,080
I will pick supplier 2 as their total cost is lower.
With the assumption of point b:
Supplier 1 $ 7,412,612
Supplier 2 $ 7,419,296
Explanation:
We must use the values for 1 to 1,499 units as we are constrained to a maximum of 1,100 lot size.
Weight of the lot:
1,100 x 25 pounds = 27,500 we do not achieve truckload
So we use the 1.20 per ton-mile
27,500 / 2,000 = 13.75 tons
13.75 tons x $1.20 each x 100 miles x 12 per year = $23,760
13.75 tons x $1.20 each x 120 miles x 12 per year = $19,800
Order cost $230 x 12 per year = $ 2,760

Truckload: 42,000 / 25 = 1,680 units
new logistic cost:

Dothan Inc.'s stock has a 25% chance of producing a 30% return, a 50% chance of producing a 12% return, and a 25% chance of producing a −18% return. What is the firm's expected rate of return?
Answer:
Therefore, the firm's expected rate of return is 9%.
Explanation:
The expected rate of return of an investment refers to the profit or loss which an investors is anticipating to receive from the investment at a specified rate of return.
The expected rate of return is estimated by totaling the product of potential outcomes and the chances of the outcomes occurring.

Suppose the economy is in a recession. The economy needs to expand by at least $300 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6. What is the least amount the government can spend to overcome the $300 billion gap
Answer: $120 billion
Explanation:
Fron the question, we are told that an economy is in a recession and needs to expand by at least $300 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6.
The least amount the government can spend to overcome the $300 billion gap goes thus:
Since MPC = 0.6, then the multiplier will be:
= 1/(1-MPC)
= 1/(1-0.6)
= 1/0.4
=2.5
We are also informed that the required change in the money supply is $300 billion. Then, the investment needed will be:
= Expansion/Multiplier
= $300 billion/2.5
= $120 billion

Price earning ratio = $32 / $1.39
Price earning ratio = $23.02
Researchers often are particularly interested in the subset of a market that contributes most to sales (for example, heavy beer drinkers or large-volume retailers). What type of sampling might be best to use with such a subset? Why?
Answer:
1122
Explanation:
Stratified Sampling is the type of sampling might be best to use with such a subset.
What is Stratified Sampling?In stratified sampling, respondents are divided into groupings known as strata based on shared traits. A different probability sampling technique is used to randomly sample each subgroup once it has been divided.
When a population has a variety of subgroups, stratified sampling is useful to ensure that every group is represented in the sample. Mere random sample and systematic sampling might not be able to fully represent all of these groupings, especially the relatively uncommon ones.
However, proportional stratified random sampling, where a population is divided into strata and a random sample is subsequently drawn from each in proportion to its size, is arguably the most prevalent variety. For instance, if the population as a whole has 60% females and 40% males.
Thus, Stratified Sampling.

Which of the following is a characteristic of a firm’s optimal dividend policy? It maximizes the firm’s stock price. It maximizes the firm’s return on equity. It maximizes the firm’s earnings per share. It maximizes the firm’s total assets.
Answer:
It maximizes the firm’s stock price.
Explanation:
The correct answer is “it maximizes the firm’s stock price” because the optimal dividend policy allows the variable risk parameters and it maximizes the firm’s value. Moreover, the dividend policy attracts the shareholders and it maintains the firm’s or the company’s worth in the market. Therefore, the optimal payment of dividend increases or maximizes the stock price.
Goods that are specifically made for the buyer and are of such an unusual nature that they are not suitable for trade in the ordinary course of the seller's business are called _____.
Answer:
non-resellable goods
Explanation:
Sometimes goods that are so uniquely customized in order to fit or serve only one client, cannot be sold to anyone else. This type of goods are considered non-resellable since it is very difficult or very unusual for another customer to purchase such a good.
E.g. suppose that you have a lot of money but at the same time like rainbows and decide that you are going to purchase a Porsche, but you are going to customize with a rainbow like paint and interior. This car would be so unique that only you would buy it and drive it.

2. Ramirez Company installs a computerized manufacturing machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $84,200. The machine's useful life is estimated at 10 years, or 386,000 units of product, with a $7,000 salvage value. During its second year, the machine produces 32,600 units of product. Determine the machine's second-year depreciation using the double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
1) Determine the machine's second-year depreciation and year end book value under the straight-line method.
depreciation expense per year = (purchase cost - salvage value) / useful life
depreciation expense per year = ($84,200 - $7,000) / 10 = $7,720
book value at the end of year 2 = $84,200 - ($7,720 x 2) = $68,760
2) Determine the machine's second-year depreciation using the double-declining-balance method.
depreciation year 1 = 2 x 1/10 x $84,200 = $16,840
depreciation year 2 = 2 x 1/10 x $67,360 = $13,472
book value at end of year 2 = $67,360 - $13,472 = $53,888
True or False: All other things being equal, firms exhibiting high degrees of operating leverage exhibit lower levels of business risk. This statement is: True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Operating Leverage is used to measure how much a change in sales translates to a change in income. In general, a higher operating leverage means that a small change in sales leads to a higher change in income. This is quite risky because it shows that even a small error when forecasting sales can lead to a larger error in the cash flow that will be expected from the sales. This makes forecasting harder and increases business risk.
