The manager for a growing firm is considering the launch of a new product. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 40 percent chance of success. For $171,000, the manager can conduct a focus group that will increase the product's chance of success to 55 percent. Alternatively, the manager has the option to pay a consulting firm $386,000 to research the market and refine the product. The consulting firm successfully launches new products 70 percent of the time. If the firm successfully launches the product, the payoff will be $1.86 million. If the product is a failure, the NPV is zero.

2. Which action should the firm undertake?

A. Consulting firm

The NPV is higher than the rst of the options.

Explanation:

expected payoffs:

option 1 (go to market now) = (40% x $1.86 million) + 0 = $744,000option 2 (focus group) = (55% x $1.86 million) + 0 = $1,023,000option 3 (consulting firm) = (70% x $1.86 million) + 0 = $1,302,000

expected NPVs:

option 1 (go to market now) = $744,000option 2 (focus group) = $1,023,000 - $171,000 = $852,000option 3 (consulting firm) = $1,302,000 - $386,000 = $916,000

On April 30, Victor Services had an Accounts Receivable balance of $37,800. During the month of May, total credits to Accounts Receivable were $73,600 from customer payments. The May 31 Accounts Receivable balance was $31,000. What was the amount of credit sales during May?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $66,800

Explanation:

Beginning accounts receivable balance ---$37,800

Ending accounts receivable balance -----$31,000

Total credits to Accounts Receivable------ $73,600

Credit sales = (Total credits to Accounts Receivable + Ending accounts receivable balance) - Beginning accounts receivable balance

($73,600 + $31,000) - $37,800

$104,600 - $37,800

= $66,800

Thomas, the manager of an apartment complex, rented an apartment to Donna. A few weeks later, Donna complained that the hot water did not work. Thomas hired Hometown Plumbers to fix the hot water, but the job was not successful. A few days later Donna moved out since she had no hot water. She sued the landlord and Thomas for breach of contract.

Answers

Answer:

The landlord is liable but not thomas

Explanation:

Even though Thomas rented the apartment to Donna, he is just the manager and not the owner of the apartment. There is a difference between the landlord and Thomas the property manager. The landlord actually owns the apartment or the building. Thomas on the other hand, only offers a third party service because he was hired by the owner of the apartment to handle the day to day operations of taking care of the building. The Landlord is therefore liable for this breach of contract as he is known to be the apartment owner.

Suppose you invest $ 850 in an account paying 7 % interest per year. a. What is the balance in the account after 2 ​years? How much of this balance corresponds to​ "interest on​ interest"? b. What is the balance in the account after 35 ​years? How much of this balance corresponds to​ "interest on​ interest"?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of balance in the account after 2 years is shown below:-

Balance in account in 3 years = Future value = Present value (1+ interest rate)^No of years

= 850 × (1 + 7%)^2

= 973.165

Total compounded Interest = 973.165  - 850

= 123.165

Total Simple Interest = 850 × 0.07 × 2

= 119

Balance corresponds to the interest on interest = Total compounded Interest - Total simple interest

= 123.165 - 119

= 4.165

b. The computation of balance in the account after 35 ​years and balance corresponds to​ "interest on​ interest" is shown below:-

Future value = Present value (1+ interest rate)^No of years

= 850 × (1 + 7%)^35

= 9,075.094262

or

= 9,075.09

Total compounded Interest = 9075.09  - 850

= 8,225

Total Simple Interest =  850 × 0.07 × 35

= 2082.5

Balance corresponds to the interest on interest = Total compounded Interest - Total simple interest

= 8,225 - 2,082.5

= 6,142.5

Answers

Answer:

1. Compute equivalent units of production for materials and for conversion costs

Equivalent units of Materials: (Units in Beginning Work in process + Units started into production - Units in ending work in process) + Units in ending work in process

= (0 + 37,300 - 8,200) + 8,200

= 37,300

Equivalent units of conversion costs : (Units in Beginning Work in process + Units started into production - Units in ending work in process) + (Units in ending work in process * 40%)

= (0 + 37,300 - 8,200) + (8,200 * 40%)

=29,100 + 3,280

= 32,380

2. Determine the unit costs of production

Unit costs of materials = Direct materials / Equivalent units of Materials

= $78,330 / 37,300

= $2.1

Unit costs of conversion costs = (Direct labor + Overhead) / Equivalent units of conversion costs

= ($66,500 + $105,114) / 32,380

= $171,614 / 32,380

= $5.3

3. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process

Units ending work in process = Materials + Conversion costs

where, Materials = 8,200 * $2.1 = $8,202

Conversion costs = 3,281 * $5.3 = $17,389

( 8,200 * 40%)

Units ending work in process = $8,202 + $17,389

= $25,591

Lindon Company is the exclusive distributor for an automotive product that sells for $34.00 per unit and has a CM ratio of 30%. The company’s fixed expenses are $193,800 per year. The company plans to sell 21,600 units this year. Required: 1. What are the variable expenses per unit? (Round your "per unit" answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. What is the break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales? 3. What amount of unit sales and dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $91,800 per year? 4. Assume that by using a more efficient shipper, the company is able to reduce its variable expenses by $3.40 per unit. What is the company’s new break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales? What dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $91,800?

Answers

Answer:

1. $23.80

2. Break even Point (units) = 19,000 units and Break even Point (dollars) = $646,000

3. Unit sales to attain a target profit = 28,000 units and Dollar sales to attain a target profit = $952,000

4. Break even Point (units) = 28,500 units, Break even Point (dollars) = $969,000 and Dollar sales to attain a target profit = $1,428,000.

Explanation:

Variable Cost % = 100% - 30%

                           = 70%

Thus, variable expenses per unit = $34.00 × 70%

                                                       = $23.80

Break even Point is the level of activity where a firm makes neither a profit nor a loss.

Break even Point (units) = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit

                                        = $193,800 / ($34.00 ×30%)

                                        = $193,800 / $10.20

                                        = 19,000 units

Break even Point (dollars) = Fixed Cost / CM Ratio

                                           = $193,800 / 0.30

                                           = $646,000

Unit sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / Contribution per unit

                                                       = ($193,800 + $91,800) / $10.20

                                                       = 28,000

Dollar sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / CM Ratio

                                                       = ($193,800 + $91,800) / 0.30

                                                       = $952,000

When variable expenses reduce by $3.40 per unit.

Break even Point (units) = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit

                                        = $193,800 / ($34.00 - $23.80 - $3.40 )

                                        = $193,800 / $6.80

                                        = 28,500 units

Break even Point (dollars) = Fixed Cost / CM Ratio

                                           = $193,800 / ($6.80/ $34.00)

                                           = $969,000

Dollar sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / CM Ratio

                                                       = ($193,800 + $91,800) / 0.20

                                                       = $1,428,000

Consider a service company that provides carpet cleaning and uses straight-line depreciation. Classify the cost of the depreciation on the carpet cleaning machines.
a. Fixed
b. Indirect

Answers

Answer:

Both :

a. Fixed  and,

b. Indirect

Explanation:

The depreciation expense on production machinery form part of the product or service cost.

The cost however, can not be traced to the product or service that is why it is an Indirect cost as opposed to the direct costs which can be traced directly on the product or service.

Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation thus the depreciation is a fixed charge.

Answers

Answer:  Has competitively valuable value chain match-ups with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart.

Explanation:

The better-off test of diversification is that the company must gain a return that is higher than incremental growth. Incremental growth is usually defined a 1 + 1 = 2 formula and this test argues that Diversification must provide more than this such that the company achieves synergistic growth ( 1 + 1 = 3) which is what happens when different entities work better together than alone.

Diversification should therefore be into an area that will be able to match-up with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart and produce even greater returns.

cost $24,000 with a six-year life and no salvage value. The company expects to sell the machine's output of 3,000 units evenly throughout each year. A projected income statement for each year of the asset's life appears below. What is the payback period for this machine?

Answers

Answer:

4 years

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is shown below:

Payback period is

= Cost of a Machine ÷ Annual cash flow

where,

Cost of a machine = $24,000

And, the annual cash flow is

= Net Income + Depreciation  expense

= $2,000 + $4,000

= $6,000

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the payback period is

= $24,000 ÷ $6,000

= 4 years

a. Prepare the pro forma statements.
b. Determine the external financing needed.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. Proforma income statement

Sales                    $45,600

Costs                    $39,120

Net income          $6,480

b. Proforma balance sheet

Particulars           Amount           Liabilities               Amount

                                                     Total                       $32,760

External finance = Predicted debt - Beginning debt

= $7,585 - $6,700

= $885

Working note:-

For pro forma statements:

Sales = $38,000 × (1 + 0.20)

= $38,000 × 1.20

= $45,600

Costs = 32,600 × (1 + 0.20)

= $32,600 × 1.20

= $39,120

Net income = Sales - Costs

= $45,600 – 39,120

= $6,480

Assets = 27,300 × (1 + 0.20)

= 27,300 × 1.20

= $32,760

Equity = Beginning balance + Net income - Dividend

= $20,600 + $6,480 - ($6,480 × 1 ÷ 2)

= $20,600 + $6,480 - $3,240

= $23,810

Debt = Assets - Equity

Fixed overhead applied = 5,100,000 * $1.60

= $8,160,000

Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead  

= $8,160,000 - $8,000,000

= $160,000 Favorable

c. Fixed overhead budget variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Actual fixed overhead

Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = Budgeted fixed overhead / Planned outputs

The value (intrinsic value) of any financial asset is: Group of answer choices the current market price present value of its future cash flows present value of all past cash flows the future value of the assets cash flows the return that you get from holding the asset

Answers

Answer:

The value (intrinsic value) of any financial asset is:

present value of its future cash flows

Explanation:

The intrinsic value is not the current market value.  It is the present value of future cash flows.  This means that future cash flows are discounted to their present values.  This value represents the true value of the financial asset.  By calculating the intrinsic value of the financial asset, the analyst takes away the noise generated by market sentiments as conveyed by current market values.

Suppose a society begins by producing 3 units of X and 4 units of Y and then alters production to 4 units of X and 4 units of Y. If the quantity and quality of resources and the technology being used remain unchanged, then: Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

This situation means that resources were not being efficiently used.

If society managed to produce 1 more unit of X with the same resources and technology, this means that some resources were idle in the past, which causes inefficiency.

This also means that the combination 3 units of X and 4 units of Y is a point inside the PPF. However, we do not know if the combination 4 units of X and 4 units of Y is a point inside the PPF, or on the PPF, because there could be some other combination that could be even more efficient (for example 5 units of both X and Y with the same resources and technology).

International trade promotes economic growth when it allows any two countries to grow (in their combined production) beyond (above) their pre-trade production possibilities curve (PPC).

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation:

The Production Possibilities Curve (PPC) is meant to illustrate how a country produces goods and services given the limited resources it has. The curve represents the various amounts that have to be traded off of 2 goods to produce more or less of one good.

The Curve shows that it is best that a country produces those goods that is good at producing so that it can produce more of it and then trade with the rest of the world for the goods it isn't too efficient at producing. If both countries involved in the trade are able to grow beyond (above) their pre-trade production possibilities curve then the trade would have promoted economic growth.

Answers

Answer:

Moral decision

Explanation:

Utilitarianism is the notion of ethics that is an action is considered good if it results in the greatest good of all the others. It considers the single action and decided on that basis whether the certain thing is right or wrong. The utility increases at one particular action and when the other action arrives its utility diminishes. It does not show the moral decision that has been taken for the other reasons.

Fuller Food Company distributes coupons which may be presented (on or before a stated expiration date) to grocers. The grocers are reimbursed when they send the coupons to Fuller. In Fuller's experience, 50% of such coupons are redeemed, and generally one month elapses between the date a grocer receives a coupon from a consumer and the date Fuller receives it. During 2012 Fuller issued two separate series of coupons as follows:


Issue On Total Value Consumer Expiration Date Amount Disbursed as of 12/31/12
1/1/12 $720,000 6/30/13 $300,000
7/1/12 500,000 12/31/12 190,000

1. The December 31, 2012 balance sheet should indicate a liability for unredeemed coupons of:

2. Case Corporation issues $100,000, 10%, five-year bonds at 94. The total interest expense over the life of the bonds is:

a. $56,000
b. $44,000
c. $50,000
d. $54,000
e. $46,000

Answers

Answer:

1. c.$124,000

2. e.$46,000

Explanation:

The Fuller company has issued two bonds with separate coupons. The liability for unredeemed bond at December 31, 2012 is $124,000.

The value of bond when issued is $720,000

Value of bond at expiration date is $300,000

720,000 / 300,000 = 2.4

2.4 * 190,000 = 456,000 / 3.67 years

= $124,000

Case corporation has issued bond with value 94 issued at par with 10% coupon rate.

Using the amortization bond table we get $46,000.

$(100000 / 94 ) * 10% = 106.38 * 5 years

= 5,319.20 * 8.64 amortizing rate

= $46,000

At July 31, Farmer Company has this bank information: cash balance per bank $8,344; outstanding checks $804; deposits in transit $1,383; and a bank service charge $58.
Determine the adjusted cash balance per bank at July 31.
The adjusted cash balance per bank at July 31:___________.

Answers

Answer:

The adjusted balance per bank is $8923

Explanation:

Adjusted cash balance per bank

Cash balance per bank (unadjusted)          8344

(+)  Deposits in transit                                   1383

(-) Outstanding checks                                 (804)

Cash balance per bank (adjusted)              8923

The adjusted cash balance per bank is calculated by adjusting the transactions that do not appear on the current bank statement.

The deposits in transit is the amount of cash deposited in the bank, that will increase the bank balance, which is still in process and has not been added to the bank account as of now. Thus, we will add this amount to calculate the adjusted bank balance.

The outstanding checks amount is the amount of checks that have been issued by the business but which are yet to be presented by the recipients of checks and will result in a reduction in the bank balance. Thus, we deduct them to calculate the adjusted balance.

The bank charge is deducted by the bank itself thus we assume that it has already been deducted. So, no adjustment is made for this.

Required:
Compute the following variances:
a Variable-overhead spending variance
b. Variable-overhead efficiencv variance
c. Fixed-overhead budget variance
d. Fixed-overhead volume variance

Answers

Answer:

a. $26,200 Unfavorable

b. $16,800 Unfavorable

c. $ 5,000 Unfavorable

d. $48,000 Unfavorable

Explanation:

a Variable-overhead spending variance

Variable-overhead spending variance = Budgeted Variable overheads at actual hours worked - Actual variable overheads

                                                                = (33,400 × $ 12.00) - $ 427,000

                                                                = $400,800 - $ 427,000

                                                                = $26,200 Unfavorable

b. Variable-overhead efficiency variance

Variable-overhead efficiency variance = (Actual Output × Standard hour × Standard rate) - (Actual hours × Standard rate per hour)

                                                                = (8,000 × 4 × $ 12.00) - (33,400 × $ 12.00)

                                                                = $384,000 - $400,800

                                                                =  $16,800 Unfavorable

c. Fixed-overhead budget variance  

Fixed-overhead budget variance  = Actual Fixed Overheads - Budgeted Fixed Overheads

                                                       = $ 149,000 - $ 144,000

                                                       = $ 5,000 Unfavorable

                 

d. Fixed-overhead volume variance

Fixed-overhead volume variance = Fixed overheads at Budgeted Production - Budgeted Fixed Overheads

                                                       = ($ 144,000 / 12,000 × 8,000) - $ 144,000

                                                       = $96,000 - $144,000

                                                       = $48,000 Unfavorable

Landow Company uses variable costing for internal purposes and wants to restate income to that of absorption costing for external reporting purposes. Landow's income under variable costing is $630,000. Fixed production cost in ending inventory is $120,000 and $85,000 in beginning inventory. What is Landow's income under absorption costing?

Answers

Answer:

$635,000

Explanation:

The computation of the net income under absorption costing is shown below:

= Income under variable costing + fixed production cost in ending inventory - beginning inventory

= $630,000 + $120,000 - $85,000

= $635,000

By adding the fixed cost and deduct the beginning inventory to the variable costing income we can easily calculate the absorption costing income

Klumper Corporation is a diversified manufacturer of industrial goods. The company’s activity-based costing system contains the following six activity cost pools and activity rates: Activity Cost Pool Activity Rates Supporting direct labor $ 9 per direct labor-hour Machine processing $ 3 per machine-hour Machine setups $ 40 per setup Production orders $ 170 per order Shipments $ 115 per shipment Product sustaining $ 750 per product Activity data have been supplied for the following two products: Total Expected Activity K425 M67 Number of units produced per year 200 2,000 Direct labor-hours 1,050 40 Machine-hours 2,800 30 Machine setups 17 2 Production orders 17 2 Shipments 34 2 Product sustaining 2 2 Required: How much total overhead cost would be assigned to K425 and M67 using the activity-based costing system?

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

K425 M67

Number of units produced per year 200 2,000

Direct labor-hours 1,050 40

Machine-hours 2,800 30

Machine setups 17 2

Production orders 17 2

Shipments 34 2

Product sustaining 2 2

To calculate the total overhead allocated to each product, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

K425:

Supporting direct labor= 9*1,050= 9,450

Machine processing= 3*2,800= 8,400

Machine setups= 40*17= 680

Production orders= 170*17= 2,890

Shipments= 115*34= 3,910

Product sustaining= 750*2= 1,500

Total overhead= $26,830

M67:

Supporting direct labor= 9*40= 360

Machine processing= 3*30= 90

Machine setups= 40*2= 80

Production orders= 170*2= 340

Shipments= 115*2= 230

Product sustaining= 750*2= 1,500

Total overhead= $2,600

Ken just purchased new furniture for his house at a cost of $15,600. The loan calls for weekly payments for the next 7 years at an annual interest rate of 10.51 percent. How much are his weekly payments

Answers

Answer:

$60.58

Explanation:

According to the given situation the computation of weekly payments is shown below:-

Weekly payments = Loan ÷ (1 - (1 ÷ (1 + r^n))) ÷ r

= $15,600 ÷ (1 - (1 ÷ (1.0020211 ^364))) ÷ 0.00202115

= $60.58

here r = interest rate, n = time period

Therefore for computing the weekly payment we simply applied the above formula.

So, the correct answer is $60.58

Two equal-sized newspapers have an overlap circulation of 10% (10% of the subscribers subscribe to both newspapers). Advertisers are willing to pay $24 to advertise in one newspaper but only $45 to advertise in both, because they're unwilling to pay twice to reach the same subscriber. Suppose the advertisers bargain by teling each newspaper that they're going to reach agreement with the other newspaper, whereby they pay the other newspaper $21 to advertise. According to the nonstrategic view of bargaining, each newspaper would earn ____________ with the advertisers. The total gain for the two newspapers from reaching an agreement is $ of the $21 in value added by reaching an agreement _____________.
Suppose the two newspapers merge. As such, the advertisers can no longer bargain by telling each newspaper that they're going to reach agreement with the other newspaper. Thus the total gains for the two parties (the advertisers and the merged newspapers) from reaching an agreement with the advertisers are $21.
