Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production= 3,260 bookshelves using 22,260 board feet of wood costing $298,284.

The company's direct materials standards for one bookshelf are 8 board feet of wood at $13.30 per board foot.

First, we need to calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, using the following formulas:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

actual price= 298,284/22,260= $13.4

Direct material price variance= (13.3 - 13.4)*22,260

Direct material price variance= $2,226 unfavorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

standard quantity= 8*3,260= 26,080

Direct material quantity variance= (26,080 - 22,260)*13.3

Direct material quantity variance= $50,806 favorable

Finally, we need to calculate which of the variations should be looked at:

Price= (13.4/13.3)-1]*100= 0.75% is between the standards

Quantity= (22,260/26,080)-1]*100= 14.65% It should be studied further.

"The Heating Division of Kobe International produces a heating element that it sells to its customers for $45 per unit. Its variable cost per unit is $30, and its fixed cost per unit is $11. Top management of Kobe International would like the Heating Division to transfer 14,900 heating units to another division within the company at a price of $33. Assume that the Heating Division has sufficient excess capacity to provide the 14,900 heating units to the other division. What is the minimum transfer price that the Heating Division should accept

Answers

Answer: $30

Explanation:

The formula to determine the transfer price is;

Transfer price = Differential cost to selling division + Opportunity cost of selling internally

The Differential cost is the Variable cost of producing the heating units so is $30.

The Opportunity cost of selling internally refers to if any sales will be foregone outside by selling inside. As the Heating Division has sufficient excess capacity, outside sales will not be affected so this cost is $0.

Transfer Price = 30 + 0

= $30

A stock has a variance of 0.02468, a current price of $28 a share, and an average rate of return of 14.4 percent. How is the coefficient of variation (CoV) computed

Answers

Answer: 1.09

Explanation:

Coefficient of Variation (CoV) is calculated by the formula;

= [tex]\frac{Standard Deviation}{Expected Return}[/tex]

The Variance is given. Standard Deviation is;

= √Variance

= √0.02468

= 0.15709869509

Coefficient of Variation is therefore;

=  [tex]\frac{0.15709869509}{0.144}[/tex]

= 1.09096316037

= 1.09

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

Note that $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill account in part 1 above.

The $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill because when the consideration is greater than the net asset value which is calculated as the of Common Stock and Retained Earnings, the difference is the Goodwill.

When Net Consideration is more than the net asset value (Stockholder Equity), then the difference is to be transferred to Goodwill.

During 2020, Betz reported earnings of $720,000 and paid dividends of $240,000. Ignore the dividend-received deduction. Piper's current enacted income tax rate is 21%. The increase in Piper's deferred income tax liability for this temporary difference is

Answers

Answer:

$57,600

Explanation:

The computation of the increase in Piper's deferred income tax liability for this temporary difference is shown below:-

Purchase of voting Common stock of Betz inc. by Piper Corp.= ( Betz's reported earnings - Betz Paid Dividends ) × (Percentage of the voting Common stock of Betz inc.)

= ($720,000 - $240,000) × 40%

= $480,000 × 40%

= $192,000

Now, the rise in Piper's deferred income tax liability for this temporary difference is

Purchase of voting Common stock of Betz inc. by Piper Corp. × enacted tax rate

= $192,000 × 30%

= $57,600

National Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $55 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has been discovered, and if the basic compound were processed into the new variant, the selling price would be $78 per gallon. National expects the market for the new compound variant to be 8,300 gallons initially and determines that processing costs to refine the basic compound into the new variant would be $157,700. Required: a. What would be the effect on total profit if National produces the new compound variant?

Answers

Answer:

National Chemical Company

New Variant of a Chemical Compound:

The effect on total profit if National produces the new compound variant is that total profit increases by $33,200

Explanation:

a) Data:

Selling price of old chemical = $55

Selling price of fined chemical = $78

Initial demand for the new compound = 8,300 gallons

Refining costs for the new compound = $157,700

b) Calculations:

Profit from new fined chemical = $23 ($78 - 55)

Differential Sales revenue =  $190,900 ($23 x 8,300)

Differential processing costs $157,700

Effect on total profit =              $33,200

c) Refining a chemical always add some value to the chemical.  The additional value added is the differential sales revenue that National generates minus the additional processing costs involved to get the chemical refined.

BBQ Corporation has a target capital structure that is 70 percent equity, 30 percent debt. The flotation costs for equity issues are 15 percent of the amount raised; the flotation costs for debt are 8 percent. If BBQ needs $150 million for a new manufacturing facility, what is the cost when flotation costs are considered

Answers

Answer:

$172,215,844 is the cost when flotation costs are considered

Explanation:

flotation

Weighted average flotation cost = {(Flotation cost debt * Weight debt) + (Flotation cost equity * Weight equity)

= (8% * 0.30) + (15%  * 0.70)

=0.024 + 0.105

= 0.129

= 12.9%

Calculation of the cost of funds

Cost of funds = Amount raised / (1 - Weighted average floatation cost)

= $150,000,000 / (1-0.129)

= $150,000,000 / (0.871)

=$172,215,844

Therefore, the cost of raising fund is $172,215,844

Tucker Company makes chairs. Tucker has the following production budget for January - March.
January February March
Units Produced 9666 11971 9743
Each chair produced uses 4 board feet of wood. Management wants ending inventory levels of raw materials to equal 20% gf the production needs (in wood) for the next month.
How many board feet of wood does Tucker need to purchase in February? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer: 46,101 board feet of wood

Explanation:

Purchases can be calculated using the formula;

Purchases = Total Production Needs + Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory

Total Production Needs

= Units produced * boards required per unit

= 11,971 * 4

= 47,884 units needed.

Ending Inventory.

This should be 20% of production needs for the next month

= 20% * (9,743 * 4)

= 7,794 units

Beginning Inventory

This will be the ending inventory of January. The ending inventory of January is 20% of February needs.

= 20% * 47,884

= 9,577 units.

Purchases for February = 47,884 + 7,794 - 9,577

= 46,101 board feet of wood

James just received an $8,000 inheritance check from the estate of his deceased rich uncle. James wants to set aside enough money to pay for a trip in five years. If the trip is expected to cost $5,000, how much of the $8,000 must James deposit now if the rate of return is 12% per year in order to have the $5,000 in five years

Answers

Answer:

$2831.13

Explanation:

The computation of the present value of 5,000 in five years is shown below:-

Present Value of 5,000 in five years = Expected cost ÷ (1 + Rate of return)^Number of years

= $5,000 ÷ (1 + 12%)^5

= $

5,000 ÷ (1.12)^5

= $2831.13

Therefore for computing the present value of 5,000 in five years we simply applied the above formula.

On July 1, 2021, a company loans one of its employees $20,000 and accepts a ten-month, 9% note receivable. Calculate the amount of interest revenue the company will recognize in 2021 and 2022

Answers

Answer:

Interest in 2021=900

Interest in 2022=600

Explanation:

Calculatation of the amount of interest revenue the company will recognize in 2021 2022

Month in 2021 - July To December

Interest in 2021 = 20,000*9%*6/12

Interest in 2021=900

Month in 2022 - January To April

Interest in 2022 = 20,000*9%*4/12

Interest in 2022=600

Therefore the amount of interest revenue the company will recognize in 2021 will be 900 while 2022 will be 600

Answer:

2021:900

2022:600

Explanation:

Month in 2021 - July To December  

Interest in 2021 = 20,000x0.0%x(6/12)  

Interest in 2021=900  

Month in 2022 - January To April  

Interest in 2022 = 20,000x0.09x(4/12)  

Interest in 2022=600  

Therefore the answer for 2021 will be 900 and for 2022 will be 600

4. Prepare a CVP income statement for the break-even point that shows both total and per unit amounts.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unit selling price of video game consoles $410

Unit variable costs $328

Total fixed costs $36,900

Units sold 600

First, we need to determine the unitary contribution margin:

Unitary contribution margin= 410 - 328= $82

Contribution margin income statement:

Sales= 600*410= 246,000

Total variable cost= 600*328= (196,800)

Total contribution margin= 49,200

Fixed costs= (36,900)

Net operating income= $12,300

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 39,200/82

Break-even point in units= 478 units

Finally, the income statement for the break-even point:

Sales= 478*410= 195,980

Total variable cost= 478*328= (156,784)

Total contribution margin= 39,196

Total fixed costs= (39,200)

Net operating income= (4)

Answers

Answer: $150,000

Explanation:

Seeing as the litigation expense will only be paid in 2018, it should be added back to income for 2015.

= 900,000 + 100,000

= $1,000,000

As the depreciation will reverse evenly over the next three years and with future income probable, it should be removed from income.;

= 1,000,000 - 300,000

= $700,000

Municipal Bonds have the advantage of being Tax-exempt so their interest income should be removed to calculate how much tax should be paid.

= 700,000 - 200,000

= $500,000

2015 Income Tax Payable = 500,000 * 30%

= $150,000

A firm expects to sell 25,200 units of its product at $11.20 per unit and to incur variable costs per unit of $6.20. Total fixed costs are $72,000. The total contribution margin is:

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $126,000

Explanation:

Contribution Margin is calculated as selling price minus the variable cost. It measures the ability of the sales price to cover the variable cost incurred on the goods produced.

Selling price per unit - $11.20

Variable cost per unit - $6.20

Contribution margin = $11.20 - $6.20

= $5

Total contribution margin is

$5 x 25,200 units

= $126,000

In the Concepts in Action video you watched this week, the speaker mention that for a small business, having payment terms is like using "free money" for a while. What do you think this means

Answers

Answer with its Explanation:

Free Money means the money that has to be paid back to the money lender within a reasonable time. The money lender usually is a trader who sells his product at credit allowing his customer a reasonable period to payback.

Almost all of the businesses lend free money in the form of products because allowing credit increases the sales of the organizations.

Several years ago, Macro Riders issued preferred stock with a stated annual dividend of 5% of its $600 par value. Preferred stock of this type currently yields 10%. Assume dividends are paid annually. a. What is the estimated value of Macros preferred stock

Answers

Answer: $300

Explanation:

The Value of a Preferred Stock is derived like a perpetuity in that it is calculated by dividing the annual cash return received by the annual yield/interest.

The stated annual dividend is 5% of $600;

= 5% * 600

= $30

Value of the Preferred Stock = [tex]\frac{Annual Cash Return}{Annual Yield}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{30}{0.10}[/tex]

= $300

Minor Company installs a machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $135,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 300,000 units of product, with a $15,000 salvage value. During its first year, the machine produces 64,500 units of product. Determine the machines' first year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method.

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $48,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $135,000

Salvage value= $15,000

Useful life= 5 years

To calculate the depreciation expense under the double-declining method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

Annual depreciation= 2*[(135,000 - 15,000) / 5]

Annual depreciation= $48,000

Four reasons why firms strategically keep dogs in their business portfolio

Answers

Answer:

Keeping Dogs in Business Portfolio

Four Reasons:

1. Dogs may be complementing or boosting the sales of other star products.  They are good companions.

2. Dogs may be new products.  It will take time for them to become star performers.  They learn about their environment well, but it takes some time.

3. Dogs may have marginal prices that are better than the marginal cost of new products.  As always, most pet owners prefer Dogs to Cats as they are easier to relate with.

4. Dogs have been developed unlike new products that are still undergoing development, which will take some time to go to market.  Humans are more accustomed to petting dogs than cats.

Explanation:

Dogs are in one of the quadrants of the BCG Growth-Share Matrix that discusses how an entity's products can be categorized according to their market share.  Dogs are always at the center of divestiture.  But, some entities still find it difficult to let go of their cherished and sensitive companions due to the reasons enumerated above.

Which of the following is not a related party for constructive ownership purposes under § 267? a.The taxpayer's grandmother. b.A corporation owned more than 50% by the taxpayer. c.The taxpayer's brother. d.The taxpayer's aunt. e.None of these choices are correct.

Answers

Answer:

A). The taxpayer's aunt.

Explanation:

Constructive ownership is demonstrated as the allocation of stock ownership from one to another taxpayer by the integrity of their relationship. For example, the parents own the stocks of their children constructively. As per the section (c) of constructive ownership under § 267, the party that cannot be a related part for constructive ownership purposes would be 'the aunt' of the taxpayer as she is not related to the taxpayer with blood either half or whole. Thus, she would not have any ownership right over the stock or shares and hence, option C is the correct answer.
