Suppose a Roasted Olive restaurant is considering whether to (1) bake bread for its restaurant in-house or (2) buy the bread from a local bakery. The chef estimates that variable costs of making each loaf include $.52 of ingredients, $.24 of variable overhead (electricity to run the oven), and $.70 of direct labor for kneading and forming the loaves. Allocating fixed overhead (depreciation on the kitchen equipment and building) based on direct labor assigns $.96 of fixed overhead per loaf. None of the fixed costs are avoidable. The local bakery would charge $1.75 per loaf.
a. What is the unit cost of making the bread in-house (use absorption costing)?
b. Should Roasted Olive bake the bread in-house or buy from the local bakery? Why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Roasted Olive should  bake the bread in-house.

Because, It is cheaper to bake the bread in-house than to purchase as this saves $0.29 per loaf of bread.

Explanation:

Cost of Making

Unit Cost (Absorption Costing) = All Manufacturing Cost (Fixed and Variable)

                                                   = $0.52 + $0.24 + $0.70 + $0.96

                                                   = $2.42

Cost of Buying from Local Bakery

Note that the fixed costs are note avoidable, meaning that they would be incurred whether or not the bread is made internally or purchased from local Bakery

Cost of Purchase Option per unit :

Purchase Price                             $1.75

Add Fixed Overhead per loaf    $0.96

Total unit cost                              $2.71

Conclusion :

It is cheaper to bake the bread in-house than to purchase as this saves ( $2.71 - $2.42) $0.29 per loaf of bread.

Therefore, Roasted Olive should  bake the bread in-house.

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

Answers

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.

Can a broker arbitrarily penalize an independent contractor based on varying factors, such as the sales agent's difficulty in closing a deal or failure to produce paperwork in a timely fashion?

Answers

Answer:

No

Explanation:

An independent contractor is a business person or entity who works for an employer based on an agreed-upon contract which affords him the flexibility of choosing how and when he accomplishes a task. The employer has the right to control the results of his work but has little or no say on how and when the job is done.

An independent contractor is not bound to work specific hours dictated by an employer. When the sale's agent finds it difficult to close a deal or is unable to produce paperwork in a timely fashion, he cannot just be arbitrarily penalized by the broker. The broker could terminate the contract if the agent does not meet up to his requirements.

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?

Answers

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

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.

Answers

Answer:

a. What is the expected value of his investment?

$10,900

b. 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 = $2,400

total expected value = $10,900

"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?"

Answers

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.

a. What does the bank balance sheet look like?
b. How well capitalized is the bank?
c. Calculate the risk weighted assets and risk weighted capital ratio after Oldhat's first day.

Answers

Answer:

a.

Assets Side

Required Reserves   $10 million        

Excess Reserves   $51 million    

Loans   $70 million

Total $131 million

Liabilities Side

Checkable Deposits   $120 million

Bank Capital   $11 million

Total $131 million  

b. Bank capitalization can be measured with bank Leverage Ratio.

= Capital/Assets

= 11/131

= 8.40%

Bank is considered well capitalized if ratio is above 5% so Oldhat Financial is well capitalized.

c. Risk Weighted Assets = $50 million

Risk weighted capital ratio = 22%

Commercial loans are 100% risk weighted = $ 30 million

Residential mortgages are 50% risk weighted  = $ 20 millions

Total = $50 million.

Risk weighted Capital Ratio = Bank capital / Total risk weighted assets

= 11/50

= 22%

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.

Answers

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

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​

Answers

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=36

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.

Answers

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

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?

Answers

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.

Data concerning Farm Corporation's single product appear below: Selling price per unit $ 320.00 Variable expense per unit $ 76.80 Fixed expense per month $ 170,240 The break-even in monthly dollar sales is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

$224,000

Explanation:

Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost

= $320 - $76.8

= $243.2

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales

= $243.2 / $320

= $0.76 × 100

= 76%

Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio

= $170,240 / 76%

= $224,000

In your opinion, can exchange rate volatility be managed? Why or why not? Explain your answer. ​

Answers

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.

Exercise F The luggage department of Sampson Company has revenues of $1,000,000; variable expenses of $250,000; direct fixed costs of $500,000; and allocated, indirect fixed costs of $300,000 in an average year. If the company eliminates this department, what would be the effect on net income

Answers

Answer:

Decrease by $250,000

Explanation:

Calculation for what would be the effect on net income.

We would be using Differential Analysis method to find the effect on the net income

Differential Analysis

Continue with Luggage Department; Eliminate Luggage Department; Effect on Income

Sales

1,000,000 0 -1,000,000

Variable cost

-250,000 0 250,000

Direct fixed costs

-500,000 0 500,000

Indirect fixed costs

-300,000 -300,000 0

Net Income

-$50,000 -$300,000 -$250,000

Therefore in a situation where the luggage department is eliminated, the income would decrease by $250,000

Answers

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

"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."

Answers

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

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?

Answers

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
