Answer:
a)Annual rate of return = 4.67%
(b)Annual rate of return = 4.66%
Explanation:
Annul rate of return where compounding is done more frequenting could be worked out as follows:
Annual rate of return = (1+r)^n - 1
r - rate of return per period
n- number of periods in a year
a) Monthly rate of 4.57%
r- monthly rate = 4.57%/12 = 0.38% per month
n- 12 months
Annual rate of return = (1+ 0.003808)^12 - 1 × 100 = 4.67%
Annual rate of return = 4.67%
b) 4.58% compounded quarterly
r- quarterly rate = 4.58%/4 = 1.145 %
n- 4 quarters in a year
Annual rate of return = (1+0.01145)^4 - 1 × 100= 4.66%
a)4.57% monthly
Annual rate of return = 4.67%
(b)4.58% compounded quarterly
Annual rate of return = 4.66%
A company budgets 10,000 units of sales based on a projected selling price of $13.00. The actual units sold were 15,000 at a price of $10. What is the flexible budget for sales?
Answer:
The flexible budget for sales = $195,000
Explanation:
A flexible budget is that which is prepared for actual level of activity achieved. It is used for control purpose to determine how where the a business is doing in terms of performance .
The flexible budgeted is usually prepared at the end of the period to which it relates. In other words, it is prepared in retrospect. And it uses the assumptions of the fixed budget.
The flexible budget for sales = actual sales in units × Standard selling price
= 15,000× $13.00 = $195,000
The flexible budget for sales = $195,000

Cr cash 30,600
(c)The accrual of interest and the related amortization on December 31, 2017.
December 31, 2017, accrued interest
Dr Interest expense 30,492
Dr Premium on bonds payable 108
Cr Interest payable 30,600
Explanation:
We must first determine the market price of the bonds:
PV of face value = $612,000 / (1 + 4.88525%)⁴⁰ = $90,818.5814
PV of coupons = $30,600 x 17.43274 (PV annuity factor, 4.88525%, 40 periods) = $533,441.844
market price = $90,818.5814 + $533,441.844 = $624,260
amortization for first coupon payment:
= ($624,260 x 4.88525%) - ($612,000 x 5%) = $30,496.68194 - $30,600 = $103.31806
amortization for second coupon payment:
= ($624,156.6819 x 4.88525%) - ($612,000 x 5%) = $30,491.6143 - $30,600 = $108.3856955
Zeke Company sells a single product. The selling price per unit is $32 and unit variable cost is $24. Fixed costs for the year are $100,200. What if selling price goes up by 0.15%, variable costs go up by 0.15% and fixed costs go up by 0.16%? What is the new breakeven point in units?
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 12,562 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= 32*1.0015= 32.048
Unitary variable cost= 24*1.0015= 24.036
Fixed costs= 100,200*1.0016= 100,360.32
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= 100,360.32/(32.048 - 24.036)
Break-even point in units= 12,562 units
Assume that on September 30, 2017, AirUS, an international airline based in Germany, purchased a Jumbo aircraft at a cost of euro 42,500,000 (euro is the symbol for the euro). AirUS expects the plane to remain useful for five years (5,000,000 miles) and to have a residual value of euro 4,250,000. AirUS will fly the plane 350 comma 000 miles during the remainder of 2017.
Requried:
a. Compute AirUS's depreciation on the plane for the year ended December 31, 2017, using the straight-line method.
b. Compute AirUS's depreciation on the plane for the year ended December 31, 2017, using the units-of-production method.
c. Compute AirUS's depreciation on the plane for the year ended December 31, 2017, using the double-declining method
Answer:
A.7,650,000
B.2,677,500
C.17,000,000
Explanation:
DATA:
purchase cost = 42,500,000
Useful life = 5 years
Estimated useful life in miles = 5,000,000 miles
Salvage value = 4,250,000
Actual useful life in miles = 350,000miles
Solution
A. Depreciation (straight-line)= [tex]\frac{Cost-residualvalue}{Usefullife}[/tex]
Depreciation( straight-line)= [tex]\frac{42,500,000-4,250,000}{5}[/tex]
Depreciation( straight-line)= 7,650,000
B Depreciation (units of production)= (cost-Salvage value) x [tex]\frac{Actualunits}{Estimatedunits}[/tex]
Depreciation (units of production)= (42,500,000-4,250,000)x[tex]\frac{350,000}{5,000,000}[/tex]
Depreciation (units of production) = 2,677,500
C. Depreciation (Double declining) = 2 x cost x depreciation rate
Depreciation (Double declining) = 2 x 42,500,000 x 0.2(w)
Depreciation (Double declining) = 17,000,000
Working
Depreciation Rate = 1/Useful
Depeciation Rate = 1/ 05 = 0.2

The tri-star company currently use an old lathe that was purchase 2 years ago at $6000. This machine is being depreciatin on a MACRS five year (20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, 6%). The current market value for this machine is $3,000. The proposed new improved lathe cost $10,000 and additional installation fee of $1,000. The new lathe would require that inventories be increased by $800 and account receivable increase $600, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $700. Tri-Star's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 30%. What is the initial investment of company when evaluating the replacement of old lathe by the new one?
Answer:
$8,736
Explanation:
initial investment = capital expenditures (machine's purchase cost + installation costs) + any increase in working capital - disposal of old machine
capital expenditures = $10,000 + $1,000 = $11,000
after tax salvage value = market value + taxes on disposal
the current book value of the old machine = $6,000 - $1,200 - $1,920 = $2,880
taxes on salvage value = (book value - market value) x tax rate = ($2,880 - $3,000) x 30% = -$36
after tax salvage value = $3,000 - $36 = $2,964
net working capital = current liabilities - current assets
change in working capital = $800 + $600 - $700 = $700
initial investment = $11,000 + $700 - $2,964 = $8,736
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 6.40 pounds $ 1.70 per pound $ 10.88 Direct labor 0.40 hours $ 14.00 per hour $ 5.60 During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: 18,500.00 pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $1.40 per pound. All of the material purchased was used to produce 2,500 units of Zoom. 800 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $13,600. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month. (For all requirements, Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer: Materials price variance= $5,550 ----F - Favourable
Materials quantity variance=$4,250-U- Unfavourable
Labor Rate Variance= $2,400- U=Unfavorable
Labor Efficiency Variance=$2,800 =F Favourable
Explanation:
Standard Quantity Standard Price Standard Cost
or Hours or Rate
Direct materials 6.40 pounds $ 1.70 per pound $ 10.88
D.irect labor 0.40 hours $ 14.00 per hour $ 5.60
18,500.00 pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $1.40 per pound. All of the material purchased was used to produce 2,500 units of Zoom. 800 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $13,600
a Materials price variance =Actual Quantity of Material Purchased*(Actual Rate - Standard Rate)
=18,500 X ( 1.40 -1.70)= 18,500 X 0.3= $5,550 ----F - Favourable because the actual cost of material per unit is less than the standard cost of material per unit]
b Materials quantity variance=Standard Rate*(Actual Quantity of Material Used in Production - Standard Quantity of Material Used in Production)
Standard Quantity of Material Used in Production = Actual Units Produced*Standard Material Per Unit
=2500 x 6.40= 16,000pounds nof materials
Materials quantity variance=1.70 x (18,500 - 16,000) =$4,250-U- Unfavourable because the actual quantity of material used to produce 2,500 units is higher than what was expected as the standard
C)Labor Rate Variance = Actual Hours Used*(Actual Rate - Standard Rate)
Actual rate = Actual cost/ Actual time
= 13,600/800= $17
Labor Rate Variance= 800 x (17-14)= 800 x 3 = $2,400- U=Unfavorable because the actual labor hour rate is higher than the standard hour rate
D)Labor Efficiency Variance = Standard Rate*(Actual Hours Used in Production - Standard Hours Used in Production)
Standard Hours Used in Production = Actual Units Produced*Standard Hours Per Unit
2500 x 0.40=1000 hours
Labor Efficiency Variance= 14 x ( 800 -1000) 14 x 200= $2,800 =F Favourable because the actual hours used in production is less than the standard hours that could have been used to produce 2,500 units
. Identify each of the following as (i) part of an expansionary fiscal policy, (ii) part of a contractionary fiscal policy, or (iii) not part of fiscal policy. a. The personal income tax rate is lowered. b. Congress cuts spending on defense. c. College students are allowed to deduct tuition costs from their federal income taxes. d. The corporate income tax rate is lowered. e. The state of Nevada builds a new tollway in an attempt to expand employment and ease traffic in Las Vegas.
Answer:
Option, A , D, E = expansionary fiscal policy.
Option B = Contractionary fiscal policy
Option C = not a part of fiscal policy
Explanation:
The expansionary fiscal policy occurred when there is a decrease in taxes and an increase in government expenditure (spendings). While contractionary fiscal policy occurs when taxes are increased by the government and there is a fall or decrease in government spendings. Therefore, Option A, Option D, and Option E are part of the expansionary fiscal policy.
Option B is a contractionary fiscal policy. While option C is not a part of fiscal policy
Boomerang Computer Company sells computers with an unconditional right to return the computer if the customer is not satisfied. Boomerang has a long history selling these computers under this returns policy and can provide precise estimates of the amount of returns associated with each sale. Boomerang most likely should recognize revenue:
Answer:
When Boomerang delivers a computer to a customer.
Explanation:
Revenue is recognised by a business when it is earned. That is when the transaction is completed and a sale is established.
In the given scenario when a customer buys goods for Boomerang they have unconditional right to return the computer if the customer is not satisfied.
The situation where Boomerang should recognise revenue is when a computer is delivered to the customer and the sale is consummated.
If the company recognises revenue when an order is made, there is possibility of customer returning the computer. Then their revenue data will be inaccurate
Answer:
the boomerang delivers
Explanation:
A company is considering replacing an old machine, which has a market value of $95,000 and a tax basis of $145,000. The new machine would cost $210,000 and would cause a $25,000 reduction in working capital because of the need for fewer spare parts. If the company’s tax rate is 39%, what would be the initial cash outlay for this replacement project?
Answer:
$120,500
Explanation:
Net cash outflow for the new machine = Cost of new machine + net working capital - salvage value of old machine + tax (salvage value of old machine - book value of old machine)
tax (salvage value of old machine - book value of old machine) =
0.39 x ($95,000 - $145,000) = $-19,500
$210,000 + $25,000 - $95,000 -$19,500 = $120,500

Assume that the dividend is constant.
Answer:
6.974% and 4.218%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Here we use the 52-week low stock price
The Highest dividend yield is
= Dividend ÷ Stock price
= 2.39 ÷ 34.27
= 6.974%
The Lowest dividend yield is
= Dividend ÷ Stock price
= 2.39 ÷ 56.66
= 4.218%
We simply applied the above formula so that we can determine highest and lowest dividend yield
income effects depend on the income elasticity of demand for each good that you buy. if one of the goods you buy has a negative income elasticity, that is, it is an inferior good, what must be true of the income elasticity of the other good you buy
Answer:
it would have a positive income elasticity and it is a normal good
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income.
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls
Inferior goods are goods whose demand falls when income rises and increases when income falls.
The stock in Bowie Enterprises has a beta of .85. The expected return on the market is 11.50 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.85 percent. What is the required return on the company's stock?
Answer:
10.203%
Explanation:
The stock in Bowie's enterprises has a beta of 0.85
The expected return on the market is 11.50%
The risk free rate is 2.85%
Therefore, the required return on the company's stock can be calculated as follows
Required return= Risk free rate+beta(market rate-risk free rate)
= 2.85+0.85(11.50-2.85)
= 2.85+ 0.85(8.65)
= 2.85+7.3525
= 10.203%
Hence the required rate in the company's stock is 10.203%

c. Clancy purchases a certificate of deposit at his bank.
d. Eileen borrows money to build a new lab for her engineering firm.
Answer:
a. Savings
b. Investment
c. Savings
d. Investment
Explanation:
Remember,
In macroeconomics, we often see Investments as purchases made with the aim of producing more goods or more wealth in the future. The examples are;
- Kate purchases stock in Pherk, a pharmaceutical company.
-Hubert purchases a new condominium in Houston.
While, Savings refers to the extra money a households have left after paying all their other expenses. Examples here are:
- Clancy purchases a certificate of deposit at his bank.
- Eileen borrows money to build a new lab for her engineering firm.
An electric power plant uses solid waste for fuel in the production of electricity. the cost Y in dollars per hour to produce electricity is Y=11+0.4X+0.29X2, where X is in megawatts. Revenue in dollars per hour from the sale of electricity is 16X−0.2X2. Find the value of X that gives maximum profit. (Round to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.
Explanation:
Before answering the question, Y and Revenue (R) given in the question are first correctly restated as follows:
Cost = Y = 11 + 0.4X + 0.29X^2 .......................................... (1)
Revenue = R = 16X − 0.2X^2 .............................................. (2)
Differentiating each of equations (1) and (2) with respect to X to obtain marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR), we have:
dY/dX = MC = 0.4 + 0.58X .................................................. (4)
dR/dX = MR = 16 - 0.4X ....................................................... (5)
In production theory, profit is maximized when MR = MC. Therefore, we equate equations (4) and (5) and solve for X as follows:
0.4 + 0.58X = 16 - 0.4X
0.58X + 0.4X = 16 - 0.4
0.98X = 15.6
X = 15.6 / 0.98
X = 15.92
Therefore, the value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.

It costs a bakery $3 to sell a single cake. This bakery makes $7 in revenue from each cake it sells. Assume this bakery sells 25 cakes. What is its total profits
Answer:
$100
Explanation:
The revenue is the total amount the company receives for the sale of products and the profit is the amount left after the costs are subtracted. Because of that, to calculate the profit you have to subtract the costs from the revenue generated:
Profit= Revenue-costs
Profit= (7*25)-(3*25)
Profit=175-75
Profit= 100
According to this, the total profit is $100.
manufactures two products: A and B. The company's accounting records revealed the following per-unit costs for direct materials and direct labor: Product A Product B Production volume (units) 4,000 5,000 Direct materials $40 $60 Direct labor: 2.5 hours at $10/hour $25 2 hours at $10/hour $20 Management is considering a shift to activity-based costing and gathered the following manufacturing overhead data: Expected Activity Activity Cost Pool Estimated OH Cost Activity cost driver Product A Product B Setups $240000 Number of setups 80 40 General factory $2350000 Direct labor hours 10,000 10,000 Machine processing $120000 Machine hours 2,000 1,000 Q: Suppose the company uses conventional job-order costing with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate and direct labor hours as the allocation base. Assuming that actual and expected direct labor hours are the same, what is the unit product cost of Product B under conventional job-order costing
Answer:
Unitary cost= $351
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Overhead costs:
Setups= $240,000
General factory= $2,350,000
Machine processing= $120,000
Total overhead= $2,710,000
Total direct labor hours= 10,000 + 10,000= 20,000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,710,000/20,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $135.5 per direct labor hour
Now, we can calculate the unitary cost for Product B:
Direct materials $60
Direct labor: 2 hours at $10/hour $20
Unitary cost= 60 + 20 + 2*135.5
Unitary cost= $351
Building Supplies is considering a merger with Tools and More. Building's total operating costs of producing services are $4 million for a sales volume of $20 million. Tools' total operating costs of producing services are $1 million for a sales volume of $5 million. Suppose that synergies in the production process result in a cost of production for the merged firms totalling $4.8 million with total sales remaining unchanged. Calculate the total average cost for the merged firm.
Answer:
We generally calculate total average cost by dividing total cost / total output units.
In this case, we are not given the output units, but instead we are given the output value, so we should find a percentage from total revenue.
total costs = $4,800,000
total revenue = $20,000,000 + $5,000,000 = $25,000,000
average total cost = ($4,800,000 / $25,000,000) x 100 = 19.2%
This means that for every $100 of revenue, the merged company will spend $19.20.

ESS Corporation is organized on January 1, 20X1 and is a calendar year-end corporation. It meets all the S corporation requirements and all shareholders consent to an S corporation election. In order to be treated as an S corporation in the current year, ESS must make an election by
Answer:
ESS Corporation
S Corporation:
In order to be treated as an S corporation in the current year, ESS must make an election by March 15 (75 days from January 1, 20X1).
Explanation:
ESS Corporation becomes an S corporation when it has met the requirements to be treated as an S corporation. With an S corporation structure, the corporate income or loss, deductions and credits of ESS corporation are passed through the individual shareholders for federal tax purposes. This means that ESS Corporation does not pay federal income taxes, but the individual partners pay the taxes. This avoids double taxation of the income of the ESS Corporation at the corporate and individual levels. Instead, the tax is levied at the individual level and rates. The company structure of ESS Corporation confers many advantages to her shareholders.

Generic Inc. issued bonds in 1988 that will mature 16 years from the date of issue. The bond pays a 14.375 percent coupon and the interest is paid semiannually. Its current price is $1,508.72. What is the effective annual yield on the bonds?
Answer:
8.93%
Explanation:
If we want to determine the effective annual yield on the bonds we must calculate the yield to maturity of the bonds:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = {71.875 + [($1,000 - $1,508.72)/32]}/ [($1,000 + $1,508.72)/2]
YTM = 55.9775 / 1,254.36 = 0.04463 x 2 semiannual coupons = 8.93%
Vaughn Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 450 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory 330 $22 $7,260 April 15 purchase 380 26 9,880 April 23 purchase 290 29 8,410 1,000 $25,550 Required:Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the FIFO method.
Answer:
Ending inventory= $15,170
COGS= $10,380
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units sold= 450
April 1 inventory= 330 units for $22
April 15 purchase= 380 units for $26
April 23 purchase= 290 units for $29
First, we need to calculate the number of units in ending inventory:
Ending inventory units= 1,000 - 450= 550 units
Now, to calculate the ending inventory under the FIFO (First-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the last units incorporated into inventory.
Ending inventory= 290*29 + 260*26= $15,170
COGS= 330*22 + 120*26= $10,380

Hart Company made 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.
AQ = Actual Quantity
SQ = Standard Quantity
AP = Actual Price
SP = Standard Price
1) Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances and classify each as favorable or unfavorable.
2) Hart applies management by exception by investigating direct materials variances of more than 5% of actual direct materials costs. Which direct materials variances will Hart investigate further?
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.
Moonbeam company manufactures toasters. For the first 8 monthsof 2017 the company reported the following operating results whileoperating at 75% of plant capacity

cogs 2600000
gross profit 1775000
operating expense 840000
net income 935000
cost of goods sold was 70% variable and 30% fixed. operatingexpenses were 80% variable and 20% fixed.moonbeam receives aspecial order for 15000 toasters at 7.60 each from Luna Company.Acceptance of the order would result in an additional 3000 ofshipping cost but no increase in fiaxed assets
a) prepare an incremental analysis for the special order
b) Should Moonbeam accept the special order. Why or why not.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The preparation of the incremental analysis for the special order is presented below:
Sales revenue (15,000 × $7.60) $114,000
Less:
Cost of goods sold -$78,000
($260,000 × 75% ÷ 350,000 × 15,000)
Gross profit $36,000
Less: Operating expenses -$28,800
($840,000 × 80% ÷ 350,000 × 15,000)
Less:
Shipping cost -$3,000
Net income arise from special order $4,200
2. Yes the order should be accepted as it has the net income of $4,200 also the fixed cost would remain the same
