In 2017, GII estimated the following standard costs for one of their major products, the 30−gallon heavy−duty plastic container. Budgeted quantity Budgeted price Direct materials 0.3 pounds $20 per pound Direct labor 0.7 hours $20 per hour During July, GII produced and sold 4,000 containers using 1,500 pounds of direct materials at an average cost per pound of $17 and 2,875 direct manufacturing labor hours at an average wage of $20.50 per hour. July's direct material flexible−budget variance is ________.
Answer:
July's direct material flexible−budget variance is $ 1500.unfav
Explanation:
Genent Industries, Inc. (GII),
Budgeted quantity Budgeted price
Direct materials 0.3 pounds $20 per pound
Direct labor 0.7 hours $20 per hour
Actual Price for 15000 pounds and 2,875 DLH
Direct Materials $17 per pound
Direct manufacturing labor hours wages $20.50 per hour.
July's direct material flexible−budget variance is $ 1500. unfav
Budgeted Cost for 4000 containers -Actual Cost for 4000 containers
= $ 24000- $ 25500 = $ 1500
Since the actual cost is greater it is unfavorable
Flexible Budget Variance is obtained by subtracting actual costs from flexible budget costs at a given volume.
1 container requires 0.3 pounds
4000 containers require 0.3 * 4000= 1200 pounds
But actually 1500 pounds were used .
Now costs
Budgeted Costs for 1200 pounds is = 20 *1200= $24000
Actual Costs for 1500 pounds is = 17* 1500 = $ 25 500

53. [LO 11.4] At the beginning of year 1, Lisa and Marie were equal shareholders in LM Corporation, an S corporation. On April 30, year 1, Lisa sold half of her interest to Shelley. On August 8, year 1, Marie sold her entire interest to George. On December 31, year 1, the corporation reported net income of $50,000. How is this income allocated to Lisa, Marie, Shelley, and George
Answer:
• Lisa $16,611
• Marie $15,070
• Shelley $8,391
• George $9,933
Explanation:
Daily allocation of $50,000 net reported net income
= $50,000/365
= $137 per day
• Income allocated to Lisa would be ;
Since Lisa and Marie are equal shareholders; meaning both would have 50% stake each in the business. Moreover, since Lisa sold half of her stake I.e 50% ÷ 2 = 25% to Shelley, her share would be;
(50% × 120 × 137) + (25% × 245 × 137) = $16,611
° Note Jan 1 to April 30 is 120 days, while the balance is 365 days - 120 days hence 245 days
• Income allocated to Marie would be;
Since Marie have 50% stake in the business and also sold her entire interest to George, her share will be;
50% × 220 × 137 = $15,070
°Note Jan 1 to August 8 is 220 days
• Income allocated to Shelley would be;
Since Shelly bought 25% out of the 50% stake that Lisa have in the business, her share will be;
25% × 245 × 137 = $8,391
°Note 245 days will be applied to Shelly's share which represent the number of days she purchased part of Lisa's interest in the business. I.e. 365 days - 120 days = 245 days
• Income allocated to George would be;
Since George purchased the whole 50% of Marie's stake in the business, his share of profit will be;
50% × 145 × 137 = $9,933
° Note 145 days will also be applied to George which represent the balance of days with which he purchased Marie's whole stake in the business. I.e 365 days - 220 days = 145 days

Suppose Sally borrows $1,000 from Harry for one year and agrees to pay a nominal interest rate of 8%. When she borrows the money, both she and Harry expect an inflation rate of 6%.
1. The expected real interest rate on the loan is_______%.
2. Suppose that when Sally pays back the loan after one year, the actual inflation rate turns out to be 4%. The actual real interest rate on the loan is______%.
3A. If the inflation rate turned out to be higher than expected, then_______.
3B. But if inflation turned out to be lower than expected, then_______.
Answer:
1. 1,89%
2. 3,85%
3A. A Lower real rate will be obtained, and Harry is in worse off position
3A. A Higher real rate will be obtained, and Harry is in better off position
Explanation:
Real Interest Rate is the Nominal Return that has been adjusted with the Inflation rate.
The effect of the inflation is to reduce the value of money over time.
If Inflation rate was 6%
Real Interest Rate = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + Inflation rate) - 1
= ( 1 + 0.08) / ( 1 + 0.06) - 1
= 0.0189 or 1,89%
If Inflation rate was 4%
Real Interest Rate = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + Inflation rate) - 1
= ( 1 + 0.08) / ( 1 + 0.04) - 1
= 0.0385 or 3,85%
The relationship between financial leverage and profitability Pelican Paper, Inc., and Timberland Forest, Inc., are rivals in the manufacture of craft papers. Some financial statement values for each company follow. Use them in a ratio analysis that compares the firms' financial leverage and profitability.

C) In what way has the larger debt of Timberland Forest made it more profitable than Pelican Paper? What are the risks that Timberland's inestors undertake when they choose to purchase its stock instead of Pelicans?
Answer:
Pelican Paper, Inc., and Timberland Forest, Inc.
Financial leverage and profitability Ratio Analysis
A. Computation of debt and coverage ratios:
1. debt ratio = Total debt to Total assets x 100
Pelican = $1,000,000/$10,000,000 x 100
= 10%
Timberland =v$5,000,000/$10,000,000 x 100
= 50%
2. times interest earned ratio = EBIT/Interests
Pelican = $6,250,000/$100,000
= 62.5 times
Timberland = $6,250,000/$500,000
= 12.5 times
A discussion of their financial risk and ability to cover the costs:
Pelican Paper's financial leverage is 10% compared to Timberland's 50%, showing that debt creditors finance and lay claim to half of the company's assets. This is very high and not attractive to potential investors and creditors. Timberland has already hampered its ability to borrow more as it is highly leveraged. Whereas Pelican Paper can meet its debt obligations and pay its interest expenses 62.5 times from current earnings, these pale in comparison with Timberland's 12.5 times, further jeopardizing its opportunities for more debt financing.
B. Calculation of the profitability ratios:
1. Operating profit margin = EBIT/Sales x 100
Pelican Paper = $6,250,000/$25,000,000 x 100 = 25%
Timberland = $6,250,000/$25,000,000 x 100 = 25%
2. Net profit margin = (EBIT less Interest)/Sales x 100
Pelican Paper = ($6,250,000 - $100,000)/$25,000,000 x 100
= $6,150,000/$25,000,000 x 100 = 24.6%
Timberland = ($6,250,000 - $500,000)/$25,000,000 x 100
= $5,750,000/$25,000,000 x 100 = 23%
3. Return on total assets = EBIT/Total Assets x 100
Pelican Paper = $6,250,000/$10,000,000 x 100
= 62.5%
Timberland = $6,250,000/$10,000,000 x 100
= 62.5%
4. Return on common equity = Earnings available to Common Stockholders/Equity x 100
Pelican = $3,690,000/$9,000,000 x 100
= 41%
Timberland = $3,450,000/$5,000,000 x 100
= 69%
A discussion of their profitability relative to one another:
The two companies make the same level of operating profit margin at 25%, but Pelican's net profit margin of 24.6% is better than Timberland's 23%. They show that Pelican's management has better ability to control expenses than Timberland's.
The returns on assets are similar for both companies, but Timberland performed better than Pelican Paper in terms of the return on equity. This shows that Timberland with ROE of 69% is making larger returns for its common stockholders than Pelican because it is leveraging debts, whose interests are tax-deductible, and also using less equity in generating the returns.
C. The larger debt of Timberland has made it more profitable than Pelican Paper because the debt interests are deductible from EBIT before tax expense is computed and it reduces the tax burden for the company, thus making it to pay less tax and saving more profits for distribution to its stockholders.
However, this higher return to the investors in Timberland also comes with higher risks, as the investors are exposed to debt risks, higher pressure to satisfy debt creditors, heightened interference and oversight from creditors since they own half of the assets of the company, and an increased threat of business takeover in case of debt default.

Suppose a stock has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 6%. What is the likelihood that this stock returns between 12% and 18%
Answer: 34.13%.
Explanation:
Given : Expected return : [tex]\mu=12\%=0.12[/tex]
Standard deviation: [tex]\sigma=6\%=0.06[/tex]
Let x be the stock returns.
Then, the probability that stock returns between 12% and 18%:
[tex]P(0.12<x<0.18)=P(\dfrac{0.12-0.12}{0.06}<\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\dfrac{0.18-0.12}{0.06})\\\\=P(0<Z<1)\ \ \ [\because z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=P(Z<1)-P(Z<0)\\\\=0.8413-0.5\ \ \ \text{[By z-table]}\\\\=0.3413[/tex]
Hence, the likelihood that this stock returns between 12% and 18% is 34.13%.

Playa Inc. owns 85 percent of Seashore Inc. During 20X8, Playa sold goods with a 25 percent gross profit to Seashore. Seashore sold all of these goods in 20X8. How should 20X8 consolidated income statement items be adjusted g
Answer:
Debit the Cost of Sales and,
Credit the Revenue.
Explanation:
Transactions that occur within a group of companies must be eliminated. Playa is a Parent (85%) and Seashore Inc is a Subsidiary.
The effect of the Sale by Playa to Seashore is that Group Cost of Sales and Revenue would be over-valued by the price of intragroup sale.
Thus, the adjustment for this intragroup sale, is to Debit the Cost of Sales and Credit the Revenue.
What dividend per share would be reported in the financial press for a stock that currently has 4.5% dividend yield and the most recent stock price was $75

If the contribution margin ratio is 0.4, targeted operating income is $70,000, and targeted sales volume in dollars is $250,000, then total fixed costs are ________.
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
For the computation of total fixed cost first we need to compute the contribution margin ratio which is shown below:-
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales
0.4 = Contribution margin ÷ $250,000
Contribution margin = $250,000 × 0.4
= $100,000
Total fixed expenses = Contribution margin - operating income
= $100,000 - $70,000
= $30,000
So, we have applied the above formula.
Consider a country that is operating under a system of flexible exchange rates. If the central bank in this country imposes an expansionary monetary policy, it would be likely to experience:_________
I. a depreciation of its currency;
II. short-term capital outflows;
III. an appreciation of its currency.
Answer:
i a depreciation of its currency;
Explanation:
A flexible exchange rate is when exchange rate is determined by the forces of demand and supply.
an expansionary monetary policy is a policy where the monetary authorities increase the money supply in the economy.
If exchange rate is flexible and an expansionary monetary policy is carried out, the supply of money would exceed its demand. as a result, the value of money would fall. this is known as depreciation
Advika is a resident of India who exports hand-dyed fabrics to other nations. Since India has an exchange control system, what does this mean for Advika
Answer: The Reserve Bank of India keeps all of Advika’s foreign currency for her.
Explanation:
When a country uses exchange controls, it limits the amount of foreign currency that can come into a country. This is usually done to ensure stability in the money market of the country as well as to improve the balance of payments for the country.
One way of implementing exchange control is for all foreign currency to go through the Central bank of the country. Should a citizen need access to foreign currency, they would need to apply to the central bank to access it. With India having an exchange control system, the Reserve Bank of India keeps all foreign currency and Advika would have to apply for it should she need it.
Port Allen Chemical Company processes raw material D into joint products E and F. Raw material D costs $4 per liter. It costs $100 to convert 100 liters of D into 60 liters of E and 40 liters of F. Product F can be sold immediately for $4 per liter or processed further into Product G at an additional cost of $3 per liter. Product G can then be sold for $9 per liter.
a. Determine whether Product F should be sold or processed further into Product G.
b. Calculate the net advantage (disadvantage) of further processing.
c. Use a negative sign with your answer to indicate a net disadvantage (if applicable).
Answer:
a) Product G should be produced and sold
b) Net financial advantage $80
Explanation:
A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.
Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .
$
Revenue after split-off point
($9× 40 litres) 360
Revenue at the slit of point
($4 × 40) (160)
Additional income from further processing 200
Further processing cost ($3× 40) (120)
Incremental income from further processing 80
Incremental income from further processing = $80
a) The product F should be processed further and sold as product G. Doing so would increase the net income by $80.
b) Net advantage $80

Absorption costing can lead managers to mistakenly believe that fixed manufacturing overhead costs will ______ in total as the number of units produced increases.
Answer:
Decrease
Explanation:
Absorption costing includes both variable and fixed manufacturing costs in determining product cost.
As the number of units produced increases, unit fixed costs decrease because there are as much units to absorb the Fixed Costs.
In total however, the Fixed costs remain constant within relevant range.
You are trying to explain to your friends the importance of using real GDP to measure economic health over time, but some of them still insist that nominal GDP is equally good. Use the data given below to show your friends the difference between real and nominal GDP.
Nominal GDP (millions of dollars)= $10,000
Price Level (GDP Deflector)= 92
Required:
What is real GDP given the nominal GDP and price level (GDP deflator)?
Answer: $10,869.57
Explanation:
The Nominal GDP is the total amount of final goods and services produced in a country within a period, usually a year. It is calculated using the current year's prices.
Real GDP adjusts the Nominal GDP for price changes by using the price level of a certain base year.
The GDP Deflator is the price level of the current year and can be useful in calculating how much the prices have risen or fallen from the prices of the base year.
The formula is;
(Nominal GDP/Real GDP)*100 = GDP Deflator
Making Real GDP the subject;
Real GDP = (Nominal GDP/GDP Deflator)*100
= (10,000/ 92) * 100

Explanation:
A perfectly competitive firm sells 15 units of output at the going market price of $10. Suppose its average fixed cost is $15 and its average variable cost is $8. Its contribution margin (i.e., contribution to fixed cost) is
Answer:
$30
Explanation:
The computation of the contribution margin is shown below:
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost
where,
Sales = Units sold × Market price
= 15 units × $10
= $150
And,
Variable cost = Units sold × AVC
= 15 units × $8
= $120
Now placing these values to the above formula
= $150 - $120
= $30
We simply applied the above formula
The Donut Stop acquired equipment for $11,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation and estimates a residual value of $2,200 and a four-year service life. At the end of the second year, the company estimates that the equipment will be useful for four additional years, for a total service life of six years rather than the original four. At the same time, the company also changed the estimated residual value to $1,200 from the original estimate of $2,200.
Required:
Calculate how much the donut stop should record each year for depreciation in years 3 to 6?
Answer:
$1350
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
depreciation expense under the initial assumptions
($11,000 - $2,200) / 4 = $2200
Accumulated depreciation at the end of year 2 = $2200 x 2 = $4400
Book value at the beginning of year 3 = $11,000 - $4400 = $6600
Depreciation expense using the new assumptions
($6600 - $1200) / 4 = $1350
A company's flexible budget for 13,200 units of production showed sales, $54,120; variable costs, $21,120; and fixed costs, $18,000. The operating income expected if the company produces and sells 19,600 units is:
Answer:
Net income= $31,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 13,200
Sales= 54,120
Variable costs= $21,120
Fixed costs= $18,000
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= total contribution margin/number of units
Unitary contribution margin= (54,120 - 21,120) / 13,200
Unitary contribution margin= $2.5
Now, for 19,600 units:
Total contribution margin= 2.5*19,600= 49,000
Fixed costs= (18,000)
Net income= 31,000
Robert Company properly applies the equity method to its investment in Margit Corporation, At the end of the current year, the fair value of Robert Company's investment increased. Robert Company should
Answer:
Do nothing
Explanation:
The value of the investment would be increased by taking the their share of net income and reducing the value of investment by dividends received by the ordinary shares holder (Company). This means that the equity method doesn't includes fair value method in valuing the Investments.
So Robert Company can't increase the the investment value if the fair value of the investment has change as it will be considered a change in policy and change in policy would have a retrospective effect.
Depletion Down Deep Mining Co. acquired mineral rights for $81,250,000. The mineral deposit is estimated at 65,000,000 tons. During the current year, 17,550,000 tons were mined and sold.
a. Determine the depletion rate. If required, round your answer to two decimal places. $ per ton
b. Determine the amount of depletion expense for the current year. $ Feedback
c. Journalize the adjusting entry on December 31 to recognize the depletion expense. Dec. 31
Depletion Expense Accumulated Depletion"
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. For depletion rate
= Acquired mineral rights ÷ estimated mineral deposits
= $81,250,000 ÷ 65,000,000 tons
= $1.25
b. For the amount of depletion expense for the current year is
= Depletion rate × current year mined
= $1.25 × 17,550,000 tons
= $21,937,500
c. The journal entry is shown below:
Depletion Expense $21,937,500
To Accumulated Depletion $21,937,500
(Being the depletion expense is recorded)
For recording this we debited the depletion expense as it increased the expense and credited the accumulated depletion as it reduced the assets
Consider the market for meekers in the imaginary economy of Meekertown. In the absence of international trade, the domestic price of a meeker is $23. Suppose that the world price for a meeker is $24. Assume that Meekertown is too small to influence the world price for meekers once they enter meeker the international market. If Meekertown allows free trade, then it will _______________ meeker.
When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
Export
true
Explanation:
Because the price of meekers in meekertown is lower than the world price for meekers, meekers from meekertown are cheaper. so if free trade is allowed, other countries would want to purchase meekers from meekertown because it is cheaper.
So, meekertown would export meekers if free trade is allowed.
When a country is too small affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
this is so because if the country is efficient in production of a good (producing at a lower price when compared to the world price), export of the good would increase thus increasing producer surplus. if on the other hand, the country is inefficient in producing a good and the country allows for free trade, the country can import the good. this would increase consumer surplus.
Assume that factory space freed up by purchasing the part from an outside source can be used to manufacture another product that can be sold for $ profit. If Harvey Automobiles makes the part, what will its operating income be?
Complete Question:
Harvey Automobiles uses a standard part in the manufacture of several of its trucks. The cost of producing 40,000 parts is $130,000, which includes fixed costs of $70,000 and variable costs of $60,000. The company can buy the part from an outside supplier for $3 per unit, and avoid 30% of the fixed costs.
Assume that factory space freed up by purchasing the part from an outside source can be used to manufacture another product that can be sold for $13,000 profit. If Harvey Automobiles makes the part, what will its operating income be?
A. 156,000 greater than if the company bought the part
B. 26,000 less than if the company bought the part
C. 26,000 greater than if the company bought the part
D. 62,000 greater than if the company bought the part
Answer:
Option C. 26,000 greater than if the company bought the part
Explanation:
Option A: In House manufacturing of 40,000 parts:
Variable Cost is always Relevant and is ($60,000)
The Fixed cost is always irrelevant unless it is specific fixed cost related to the decision. Hence Fixed cost is irrelevant here.
Option B: If we purchase from outsiders
The purchase cost of the product is variable cost hence it is relevant as it is always relevant.
Purchase Cost = $3 * 40,000 parts ($120,000)
The decrease or increase in the cost or income, due to a decision is always relevant. The decrease in cost is Opportunity income or benefits and is given as under:
Decrease in Fixed cost by 30% = $70,000 * 30% $21,000
Now the additional profit that will arise as we can manufacture additional parts of another Product B. This is only possible if we free factory space by purchasing parts of Product A from outsiders. This additional manufacturing of Product B parts will generate profit of $13,000 and thus is a relevant income here. It is also referred to as Opportunity Income.
Opportunity Income $13,000
Total Relevant Cost ($86,000)
DecisionThe cost of option A is lower from Option B by $26000 ($86000 - $60000). Hence the operating income would be higher by $26,000 if the company manufactures in-house rather purchasing 40,000 parts from outsiders.
Option C is correct option here.
