Answer:
Standard direct material cost per unit= $0.21
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The standard costs for a batch of chocolate (2,857 bars) are as follows:
Cocoa 630 lbs. $0.40 per lb.
Sugar 180 lbs. $0.60 per lb.
Milk 150 gal. $1.60 per gal
First, we need to calculate the total cost for 2,857 bars:
Total cost= 630*0.4 + 180*0.6 + 150*1.6
Total cost= $600
Now, the unitary standard cost:
Standard direct material cost per unit= 600/2,857
Standard direct material cost per unit= $0.21

The Grey Division occupies 25,000 square feet. Rent is an indirect expense and is allocated based on square footage. Rent expense for the year was $50,000. Gross profit for the White and Grey Divisions is: WhiteGrey A.$97,200 $272,700 B.$232,200 $475,200 C.$135,000 $337,500 D.$72,200 $247,700 E.$97,200 $247,700
Answer:
White Division Gross Profit = $72,200
Grey Division Gross Profit = $247,700
Explanation:
White Division Grey division
Sales (net) $270,000 $540,000
Less: Cost of goods sold $135,000 $202,500
Gross Margin $135,000 $337,500
Less: Salary Expenses $37,800 $64,800
Rent $25,000 $25,000
Gross Profit $72,200 $247,700
The White Division occupies 25,000 square feet in the plant. The Grey Division occupies 25,000 square feet. Hence, the rent expenses will be shared equally. Rent = $50,000 hence, both division will pay $25,000 each for rent
Patricia is a business owner who is trying to determine the cost of goods sold for 2019. She bought 20 units of inventory at $11, then 26 units at $9, and finally 18 units at $14. She sold 30 units in 2019 and uses FIFO for her inventory valuation. What was her cost of goods sold in 2019, assuming that there was no inventory at the beginning of the year?
Answer:
COGS= $310
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
She bought 20 units of inventory at $11, then 26 units at $9, and finally 18 units at $14.
She sold 30 units in 2019.
Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) valuation method, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory.
COGS= 20*11 + 10*9
COGS= $310
In your opinion, can exchange rate volatility be managed? Why or why not? Explain your answer.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
What I think about exchange rate volatility is that investors have to learn to manage this volatility because it is part of the stock market on a daily basis. Indeed, it is the nature of the game. Managing foreign exchange or FX, as it is also known, is of the utmost importance in this globalized world of investments. The price of goods and products that are exported such as iron, steel, or any other commodity has been very volatile in recent years, that is why investors and countries have to hire experts to manage their operations. One of the resources that can help investors regarding this issue is to mitigate the uncertainty with futures or currency forwards.

An investor considers investing $10,000 in the stock market. He believes that the probability is 0.30 that the economy will improve, 0.40 that it will stay the same, and 0.30 that it will deteriorate. Further, if the economy improves, he expects his investment to grow to $15,000, but it can also go down to $8,000 if the economy deteriorates. If the economy stays the same, his investment will stay at $10,000.a. What is the expected value of his investment?b. Should he invest the $10,000 in the stock market if he is risk neutral?c. Is the decision clear-cut if he is risk averse? Explain.
Answer:
a. What is the expected value of his investment?
$10,900b. Should he invest the $10,000 in the stock market if he is risk neutral?
If the investor is risk neutral, then he pays little attention to market risk, therefore, he/she should invest because the expected value is higher than the investment.c. Is the decision clear-cut if he is risk averse?
If the investor is risk averse, it means that he/she is afraid of market risk and likes to make decisions that involve the least possible risk. In this case, the possibility of losing money is not that large (in my opinion) and the expected value is relatively high, but a risk averse investor would probably prefer an investment that yields a lower rate but is more secure, e.g. US securities.Explanation:
total investment $10,000
if economy improves = 0.30 x $15,000 = $4,500if economy remains the same = 0.40 x $10,000 = $4,000if economy deteriorates = 0.30 x $8,000 = $2,400total expected value = $10,900
Exercise 10-6 Direct Materials and Direct Labor Variances [LO10-1, LO10-2] Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 7.40 pounds $ 2.60 per pound $ 19.24 Direct labor 0.45 hours $ 8.00 per hour $ 3.60 During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: 12,100.00 pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.50 per pound. All of the material purchased was used to produce 1,500 units of Zoom. 575 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $5,750. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct material:
Standard= 7.40 pounds $ 2.60 per pound
Actual= 12,100 pounds of material were purchased for $2.50 per pound.
Direct labor:
Standard= 0.45 hours $ 8.00 per hour
Actual= 575 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $5,750
Units produced= 1,500
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2.6 - 2.5)*12,100
Direct material price variance= $1,210 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
standard quantity= 1,500*7.4= 11,100
Direct material quantity variance= (11,100 - 12,100)*2.6
Direct material quantity variance= $2,600 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Standard quantity= 1,500*0.45= 675
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (675 - 575)*8
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $800 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 5,750/575= $10
Direct labor rate variance= (8 - 10)*575
Direct labor rate variance= $1,150 unfavorable
Kenneth Washington's weekly gross earnings for the week ending December 18 were $3,460, and his federal income tax withholding was $726.6. Assuming the social security rate is 6% and Medicare is 1.5% of all earnings, what is Washington's net pay? If required, round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
$2,473.9
Explanation:
The computation of net pay is shown below:-
Net pay = Gross pay - Federal income tax withholding - Social security tax - Medicare tax
= $3,460 - $726.6 - ($3,460 × 6%) - ($3,460 - 1.5%)
= $3,460 - $726.6 - $207.6 - $51.9
= $2,473.9
Therefore for computing the net pay we simply applied the above formula i.e the three above taxes are subtracted from the gross pay to arrive net pay
"The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $10, direct labor $4, variable manufacturing overhead $3, fixed manufacturing overhead $10, variable selling and administrative expenses $1, and fixed selling and administrative expenses $8. Using a 25% markup percentage on total per unit cost, compute the target selling price."
Answer:
The target selling price =$45
Explanation:
The target selling price is the sum of the total unit cost plus 25% of the the unit cost
The target selling price = Total per unit cost + (25% × total unit cost)
The total unit cost is the sum of all the costs involved making the product available to the consumer.
The sum of direct material cost , labour cost variable manufacturing, fixed manufacturing overhead, variable selling and administrative expenses and fixed selling and administrative expenses.
The target selling price would be determined using te steps below:
Step 1: Calculate the unit cost
Total unit cost = 10 + 4 + 3 + 10 + 1 + 8 = 36
Total unit cost = $36
Step 2: Calculate the target selling price
Target selling price = Unit cost + (25%× unit cost)
The target selling price = 36 + (25% × 36) = $45
The target selling price =$45
Summary: With 250,000 employees in 19 countries, Aramark wanted to motivate its employees who clean airplanes for Delta and Southwest Airlines. Turnover of the low-paid, largely immigrant staff was high while morale was low. Wallets and other valuables left on planes disappeared. After 5 years of efforts to increase motivation, revenue rose from $5 million to $14 million. 1. What motivation theories apply to the workers at Aramark? 2. If you were the manager of these employees, what would you do to motivate them? Be honest regarding your personal management style and beliefs rather than trying to be like Roy Pelaez. 3. What are some possible barriers to the effectiveness of your motivation ideas? What could you do to overcome them?
Answer:
Explanation:
(A)
What motivation theory applies to the workers at Aramark?
The workers should be motivated with payments for the return of valuables forgotten in the aircraft.
(B)
To motivate them, offer them a salary increase
(C)
Some possible barriers to the effectiveness of these motivation ideas are gluttony (depending on individual worker), a period of stiff or falling profit (which will hinder the smooth running of the new benefit policies), change of management.
(D)
What could you do, to overcome them?
To ensure that workers do not still steal forgotten valuables, place a check or supervision on them.
To ensure the profit level is maintained or increased, make sure the workers do not relent in their duties. Sometimes, more benefits make workers relax more.

b. If Simon makes monthly payment of $30, how many months will it be before he pays off the card. Round to the nearest month.
c. How much more in total payments will Simon make under the $10-a-month plan than under the $30-a-month plan? Make sure you use three decimal places for N.
Answer:
A.50 months
B.12.92 months
C.$112.38
Explanation:
a). Using this formula
PV of Annuity = Monthly Payment * [{1 - (1 + r)-n} / r]
Where,
PV of Annuity =$350
Monthly Payment =$10
r=(0.18/12)
Let plug in the formula
$350 = $10 * [{1 - (1 + 0.18/12)-n} / (0.18/12)]
$350 / $10 = {1 - (1.015)-n} / 0.015
35 * 0.015 = 1 - (1.015)-n
(1.015)-n = 1 - 0.525
-n[log(1.015)] = log(0.475)
-n[0.0149] = -0.7444
n = -0.7444 / -0.0149
n= 50 months
b). Using this formula
PV of Annuity = Monthly Payment * [{1 - (1 + r)-n} / r]
Where,
PV of Annuity =$350
Monthly Payment =$30
r=(0.18/12)
Let plug in the formula
$350 = $30 * [{1 - (1 + 0.18/12)-n} / (0.18/12)]
$350 / $30 = {1 - (1.015)-n} / 0.015
11.67 * 0.015 = 1 - (1.015)-n
(1.015)-n = 1 - 0.175
-n[log(1.015)] = log(0.825)
-n[0.0149] = -0.1924
n = -0.1924 / -0.0149 =
n=12.92 months
c). Calculation for the Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan
Using this formula
Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan = No. of Payments * Monthly Payment
Where,
No.of Payments =50
Monthly Payment=10
Let plug in the formula
Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan= 50 * $10 = $500
Calculation for the Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan
Using this formula
Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan = No. of Payments * Monthly Payment
Where,
No. of Payments =12.92
Monthly Payment=$30
Let plug in the formula
Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan= 12.92 * $30 = $387.62
Hence,
Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan -Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan
= $500 - $387.62
= $112.38
Coal mining is a dangerous and dirty job. Suppose someone developed new machinery that made coal mining safer and cleaner; at the same time, suppose it made coal miners more productive. We would expect that the wages of coal miners would
Answer:
D. Rise, fall, or stay the same
Explanation:
In the case of a new invention, there are several scenarios that could play out. An invention which makes a job such as coal mining which was previously dangerous and dirty to become safer could result in;
1. A rise in the wages of the miners, perhaps, because their productivity is now increased.
2. A fall in the wages of the miners perhaps because they do not have to do much stressful work as there is now new machinery to make work easier.
3. Stay the same if the employer reasons that their wages are sufficient or commensurate to the work they now do.
the average rate of the 36 children in the group was 55 kgs children of average weight 53 cages left the group was the what new average weight of group in kg
Complete Question:
The average weight of the 36 children in the group was 55 kgs. 5 children of average weight 53 kgs left the group. What was the new average weight of the group in kg?
Answer:
The new average weight of the group = 1,715/31 = 55.32 kgs
Explanation:
Average weight of 36 children = 55 kgs
Total weight of 36 children = 1,980 (36 * 55) kgs
Average weight of 5 children = 53 kgs
Total weight of 5 children = 265 (53 * 5) kgs
When 5 children of 53 kgs average weight left the group,
the remaining 31 children (36 - 5) had total weight = 1,715 (1,980 - 265)
Therefore, the new average weight for 31 children at a total of 1,715, will be
= 1,715/31
= 55.32 kgs
Average rate is considered as a single rate that applies to property in multiple locations and is based on a weighted average of the dweller rates for each site.
Given Information:
Average weight=55 kgsNumber of children=36Average weight of 36 children = 55 kgs
Total weight of 36 children = 1,980 (36 * 55) kgs
Average weight of 5 children = 53 kgs
Total weight of 5 children = 265 (53 * 5) kgs
When 5 children of 53 kgs average weight left the group, the remaining 31 children (36 - 5) had total weight = 1,715 (1,980 - 265)
Therefore, the new average weight for 31 children at a total of 1,715, will be
= 1,715/31

The flexible budget will report ________ $ 320,000 for variable costs.
For 16000 units the Flexible Budget would be
Sales Revenue ($600,000 /12000)16000 =$ 800,000
Variable Costs (240,000 /12000)16000 = $ 320,000
Contribution Margin $ 480,000
Fixed Costs 275,100 ( assuming fixed costs to be same

Operating Profit 204,900
Consider a mutual fund with $200 million in assets at the start of the year and 10 million shares outstanding. The fund invests in a portfolio of stocks that provides dividend income at the end of the year of $2 million. The stocks included in the fund's portfolio increase in price by 8%, but no securities are sold and there are no capital gains distributions. The fund charges 12b-1 fees of 1%, which are deducted from portfolio assets at year-end. a. What is the fund's net asset value at the start and end of the year?
Answer:
At start = $20/share
At end = $21.384
Explanation:
DATA
ASSets at the start = $200m
Outstanding shares = 10m
Dividend income at the end = $2m
Gain in price = 8%
12b-1 fees = 1%
A.
Net assets at the start can be calculated by dividing assets at the start by outstanding shares
Net Assets value at start = Assets at start/Outstanding shares
Net Assets value at start = $200m/10m
Net Assets value at start = $20/share
Net Assets value at the end can be calculated by multiplying gain price with 12b-1 fees
Net assets value at the end = Gain Price x (1-12b-1 fees)
Net Assets value at the end = ($20x$1.08) x (1 - 0.01)
Net Assets value at the end = $21.6 x 0.99
Net Assets value at the end = $21.384
Even though most corporate bonds in the united states make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of 1000,20 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 6.6 percent paid annually.
If the yield to maturity is 8.9 percent, what is the current price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Price of bond = $786.86
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond would be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
Annual interest payment
= 6.6% × 1,000× 1/2= 33
PV of interest payment = A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
r- semi-annual yield = 8.9%/2 = 4.45 %
n- 20× 2= 40
PV of interest payment= 33 × (1-(1.0445^(-40)/0.0445 = 611.611
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
PV = 1,000 × (1.0445)^(-40) = 175.25
Step 3
Price of bond
Price of bond= 611.611 + 175.25 = 786.862
Price of bond = $786.86
Suppose that the quantity of apples sold increases by 30 percent after the price of pears increases by 15 percent. What is the coefficient of cross elasticity of demand
In the short run, what would indicate that a perfectly competitive firm is producing an output for which it is receiving a normal profit?
Answer: Price = Average Cost
Explanation:
I'm unsure if this question has options but this is the most probable reasons a firm in a Perfectly Competitive market would be receiving a normal profit in the Short run.
Normal Profit means that the company is making an Economic Profit of $0. For this to happen, the firm must need to be making the same.amount as it is spending on the goods that it is producing.
The amount it is spending is the Average Cost. When Price equals this Average Cost, the company is at Break-Even Point and so is making a $0 Economic profit which means it is only making Normal Profit.
For a company to make Economic Profit, the Price needs to be equal to the Marginal Cost.
"A dealer buys 10,000 shares of ABC common at $15 for its inventory. One week later the stock is quoted at $18 - $19, and a customer buys 100 shares from the dealer at a net price of $20. Under the FINRA 5% Policy, a fair and reasonable mark-up is based upon which price?"
Answer: c. $19
Explanation:
Under the FINRA 5% Policy, a fair and reasonable mark-up or commission is based upon the current market price of the stock not how much the dealer bought it for or rather their cost. As such, when the customer buys, which was the case in this scenario, the mark-up is charged on the inside ask price which in this case is $19.
Were the customer to be selling, any mark-downs will be charged on the inside bid price which in this case is $18.
