Explanation:

The summary journal entries to record the following transactions for a company in its first month of operations has been attached.

Note that the work on process Inventory for (f) was calculated as the direct labor of 40000 multiplied by 125%. This will be:

= 40000 × 125%

= 40000 × 1.25

Four fundamental factors affect the cost of money: (1) the return that borrowers expect to earn on their investments, (2) the preference of savers to spend their income in the current period rather than delay their consumption until some future period, (3) the risks associated with the investment, and (4) expected inflation.

Consider the following statements that address these factors, and indicate which you think are true.

Statement 1: On average and everything else held constant, it is generally assumed that savers and investors prefer immediate consumption to deferred, or postponed, spending.
Statement 2: Investments providing cash flows that are more likely to equal their expected value are said to exhibit more risk.
Statement 3: The onset of 5% inflation means that your receipt of a $100 interest payment allows you to purchase only $95 worth of goods and services.
Statement 4: The inflation premium used to calculate the nominal interest rate on a five-year security should be equal to the rate of inflation expected in year 5 of the investment.

The true statements are:
a. 1 and 4
b. 2 and 4
c. 1 and 3
d. 2 and 3

Answers

Answer: c. 1 and 3

Explanation:

1. Even though Investors and Savers forego their immediate consumption for future consumption, it is generally assumed that both groups actually prefer immediate consumption to deferred consumption.

This is why they are offered a rate of return that compensates them enough to convince them to take deferred consumption over current consumption.

3. When inflation rises, it erodes the value of money such that people are able to buy less goods using the same amount of money as they were able to before.

If you therefore receive a payment of $100 and inflation is 5%, then 5% of the value of that $100 has been eroded which is $5. This means you're only able to buy $95 worth of goods and services.

A sports nutrition company created an energy drink which they think improves athletic performance. In one study, weightlifters were randomly assigned to drink either this new sports drink or flavored water (with a similar taste). The study found that those drank the sports drink were able to lift more weight than before, while those who drank the flavored water were only able to lift the same weight as before.
Is it valid for the company to claim that the cause of the first group lifting more weight than before is due to them drinking the new sports drink?
A. No, because this is an observational study which does not address causation.
B. No, because this is neither an experimental nor observational study.
C. No, because the stronger athletes were likely to drink the new sports drink whereas the weaker athletes were likely to drink flavored water.
D. Yes, because this is an experimental study.

Answers

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Based on the study being described it is not a valid claim because the stronger athletes were likely to drink the new sports drink whereas the weaker athletes were likely to drink flavored water. The companies need to sample athletes that are able to consistently lift a maximum of the same amount of weight. Once they have these participants they can then start the experiment. That way they know that the athletes are all on par with each other and if one is able to lift more than the other because they drank the energy drink they can isolate the drink as a cause.

Explanation:

George consumes two goods, milk and cookies. He has maximized his utility given his income. Milk costs $2 per gallon and he consumes it to the point where the marginal utility he receives from milk is 4. Cookies cost $4 per bag and the relationship between the marginal utility that George gets from eating a bag of cookies and the number of bags he eats per month is as follows:
Bags of Cookies 1 2 3 4 5 6
Marginal Utility 20 16 12 8 4 0
How many bags of cookies does George buy each month?
a. 1.
b. 2.
c. 3.
d. 4.

Answers

Answer:

George buys 5 bags of cookies each month

Explanation:

Given

[tex]Milk = \$2[/tex] (per gallon)

[tex]Marginal\ Utility\ (milk) = 4[/tex]

[tex]Cookies = \$4[/tex] (per bag)

Required

Determine the number of bags of cookies he buys

First, we need to determine the marginal utility of cookies

To solve this, we make use of the following formula:

[tex]\frac{MU\ of\ Milk}{Cost\ of\ Milk} = \frac{MU\ of\ Cookies}{Cost\ of\ Cookies}[/tex]

Substitute values for

MU of Milk = 4

Cost of Milk = 2

Cost of Cookies = 4

This gives:

[tex]\frac{4}{2} = \frac{MU\ of\ Cookies}{2}[/tex]

[tex]2 = \frac{MU\ of\ Cookies}{2}[/tex]

[tex]MU\ of\ Cookies = 2 * 2[/tex]

[tex]MU\ of\ Cookies = 4[/tex]

From the given table:

The corresponding bags of cookies for marginal utility of 4 is 5

Hence:

George buys 5 bags

Machine hours 81,250
At the end of the year, the company had actually incurred:
Direct labor cost $1,190,000
Depreciation on manufacturing plant and equipment $485,000
Property taxes on plant $21,500
Sales salaries $26,000
Delivery drivers' wages $14,500
Plant janitors' wages $11,000
Machine hours 54,500 hours
Requirements:
1. Compute predetermined manufacturing overhead rate.
2. How much manufacturing overhead was allocated to jobs during the​ year?
3. How much manufacturing overhead was incurred during the​ year? Is manufacturing overhead underallocated or overallocated at the end of the​ year? By how​ much?
4. Were the jobs overcosted or​ undercosted? By how​ much?

Answers

Answer:

Brooks Foundry

1. Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate

= $8

2. Allocated manufacturing overhead = Overhead rate multiplied by actual machine hours

= $8 * 54,500

= $436,000

3. Manufacturing overhead incurred during the year = $517,500

Manufacturing overhead is underallocated at the end of the year.

The underallocation = $81,500 ($517,500 - 436,000)

4. The jobs were undercosted by $81,500.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated costs:

Manufacturing overhead = $650,000

Direct labor cost = $1,300,000

Machine hours = 81,250

Actual costs:

Direct labor cost                    $1,190,000

Overhead costs:

Depreciation on manufacturing

plant and equipment             $485,000

Property taxes on plant            $21,500

Plant janitors' wages                 $11,000

Total actual overhead costs  $517,500

Machine hours 54,500 hours

b) Selling Expenses:

Sales salaries                $26,000

Delivery drivers' wages $14,500

Total                              $40,500

c) Computation of the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate:

Predetermined overhead rate = estimated manufacturing overhead costs divided by estimated machine hours

=  $650,000/81,250

= $8

Answer:

Stock B is most valuable

Explanation:

a. Price of Stock A = $11.20/10% =$11.20/0.1 = $112

b. Price of Stock B = $6.20 / (10%-6%) = $6.20/4% = $6.20/0.04 = $155

C. Price of Stock C = $4.80/1.1 + $4.80*1.22/1.11^2 + $4.80*1.22^2/1.11^3 + $4.80*1.22^3/1.11^4 + $4.80*1.22^4/1.11^5 + ($4.80*1.22^5/10%)/1.1^5

Price of Stock C = $4.36 + $4.75 + $5.22 + $5.74 + $6.31 + $80.55

Price of Stock C = $106.93

Conclusion: Stock B is most valuable

Company sells a product for per unit. Variable costs are per​ unit, and fixed costs are per month. The company expects to sell units in . Calculate the contribution margin per​ unit, in​ total, and as a ratio.

Answers

Answer:

All the numbers are missing, so I looked for similar questions that can be used as an example:

Company sells a product for $15 per unit. Variable costs are $8 per​ unit, and fixed costs are $350,000 per month. The company expects to sell units 75,000. Calculate the contribution margin per​ unit, in​ total, and as a ratio.

contribution margin per unit = sales price - variable cost = $15 - $8 = $7

total contribution margin = contribution margin per unit x total sales = $7 x 75,000 = $525,000

contribution margin ratio = total contribution margin / total sales = $525,000 / ($15 x 75,000) = $525,000 / $1,125,000 = 0.4666 = 46.67%

Assuming that an interest rate of 11% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation, at what amount should Johnstone value the equipment.

we must determine the present value of the annual installments:

The company will accumulate the funds by making five equal annual deposits to an account paying 6% interest compounded annually. Determine the required annual deposit if the first deposit is made on December 31, 2018.

we should use the future value of an annuity due formula:

we should use the present value of an annuity due formula:

PV = annual lease payment x annuity due factor

annual lease payment = $120,000

b. The amount of net income reported on the 2018 income statement is $38,100.

d. The amount of cash flow from operating activities reported on the 2018 statement of cash flows is $25,000.

e. Before closing balance in service revenue account = $100,000; and After closing balance = $0.

f. The balance of the retained earnings account that appears on the 2018 balance sheet is $32,200.

Explanation:

a. & c. Identify the events that result in revenue or expense recognition and those which affect the statement of cash flows. In the Statement of Cash Flows column, use OA to designate operating activity, FA for financing activity, IA for investing activity and NA to indicate the element is not affected by the event.

Note: See part a & c of the attached excel file for the table.

From the attached excel file, we have:

Total revenue = $100,000

Total expenses = $61,900

b. Based on your response to Requirement a, determine the amount of net income reported on the 2018 income statement.

Based on part a & c above, we can determine this as follows:

Net income = Total revenue - Total expenses = $100,000 - $61,900 = $38,100

Therefore, the amount of net income reported on the 2018 income statement is $38,100.

d. Based on your response to Requirement c, determine the amount of cash flow from operating activities reported on the 2018 statement of cash flows.

Note: See part d of the attached excel file for the amount of cash flow from operating activities.

Cash flow from operating activity = $25,000

Therefore, the amount of cash flow from operating activities reported on the 2018 statement of cash flows is $25,000.

e. What is the before- and after-closing balance in the service revenue account?

Before closing balance in service revenue account = Services performed on account + Services performed for cash = $81,000 + $19,000 = $100,000

After closing balance = $0

The "after closing balance" is equal to zero because, at the end of a particular period, the balance of the service revenue account turns to $0 when the firm has to close the balance of the service revenue account in the retained earnings.

f. What is the balance of the retained earnings account that appears on the 2018 balance sheet?

Retained earnings = Net income - Cash dividend paid to the stockholders = $38,100 - $5,900 = $32,200

Therefore, the balance of the retained earnings account that appears on the 2018 balance sheet is $32,200.

The YTM on a bond is the interest rate you earn on your investment if interest rates don’t change. If you actually sell the bond before it matures, your realized return is known as the holding period yield (HPY).
Requirement:
1. Suppose that today you buy a bond with an annual coupon rate of 8% for $1,170. The bond has 16 years to maturity. What rate of return do you expect to earn on your investment? Assume a par value of $1,000.
2. Two years from now, the YTM on your bond has declined by 1%, and you decide to sell.

At January 1, 2021, Café Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 12 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $94,113.) Crescent seeks a 12% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be a finance lease. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Required:
1. What will be the effect of the lease on Café Med's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)? (Enter decreases with negative sign.)
2. What will be the balances in the balance sheet accounts related to the lease at the end of the first year for Café Med (ignore taxes)?

Answers

Answer:

$11,750

$189,750

Explanation:

1: Calculation for the effect of the lease on Café Med's earnings for the first year

Based on the information given we were told that the lease agreement has annual payments of the amount $29,000 which means that Corporation will recognized a rental revenue of the amount $29,000 each year

Now let Compute for the depreciation to be charged on equipment using this formula

Annual depreciation = Cost of equipment / Useful life

Let plug in the formula

Annual depreciation= $207,000 / 12

Annual depreciation= $17,250

Second step is to Compute for Crescent Effect on earnings using this formula

Crescent Effect on earnings = Rental revenue - Depreciation expense

Let plug in the formula

Crescent Effect on earnings= $29,000 - $17,250

Crescent Effect on earnings= $11,750

2. Calculation for the balances in the balance sheet accounts

Using this formula

Equipment balance at the end of 2021 = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Let plug in the formula

Equipment balance (net) at the end of 2021= $207, 000 - $17, 250

Equipment balance (net) at the end of 2021= $189,750

Deferred lease revenue will be the Rental amounts that was received in advance on 31. DEC.2021 for 2019 year = $29,000

The following December 31, 2021, fiscal year-end account balance information is available for the Stone Corporation:Cash and cash equivalents $ 6,200Accounts receivable (net) 32,000Inventory 72,000Property, plant, and equipment (net) 180,000Accounts payable 51,000Salaries payable 23,000Paid-in capital 160,000The only asset not listed is short-term investments. The only liabilities not listed are $42,000 notes payable due in two years and related accrued interest of $1,000 due in four months. The current ratio at year-end is 1.5:1.Required:Determine the following at December 31, 2021:1. Total current assets2. Short-term investments3. Retained earnings

Answers

Answer:

1.

Total current assets  = $112500

2.

Short term investments = $2300

3.

Retained earnings = $15500

Explanation:

1.

The total current assets can be determined using the current ratio provided for 2021. The current ratio is calculated by dividing the value of total current assets by the value of the total current liabilities.

1.5  =  Total current assets / (51000 + 23000 + 1000)

1.5 = Total current assets / 75000

1.5 * 75000 = Total current assets

Total current assets  = $112500

2.

Short term investments are a part of the current assets. The value of short term investments is,

112500 = 6200 + 32000 + 72000 + Short term investments

112500 = 110200 + Short term investments

112500 - 110200 = Short term investments

Short term investments = $2300

3.

The basic accounting equation states that the total assets is always equal to the value of total liabilities plus total equity.

Total assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity

(112500 + 180000) = [(51000 + 23000 + 1000) + 42000]  +  (160000 + Retained earnings)

292500 = 117000 + 160000 + Retained earnings

Retained earnings = 292500 - 277000

Retained earnings = $15500

PERIOD COST

Explanation:

Product costs are all costs that are directly related to the manufacturing process of milk or other dairy products, e.g. workers wages, milk (raw materials).

Period costs are not directly related to the company's manufacturing process and they include sales and administrative costs (S&A), research and development (R&D), delivery costs.

The freight costs incurred for purchasing materials are part of product costs, but the delivery costs are sales expenses (period costs).

c. could increase or decrease.

Answers

Answer:

a. does not shift

b. shifts to the left

c. increases

a. decreases

Explanation:

As a result of the drought affecting the supply of cream, the supply of chocolate would fall. As a result, the supply curve would shift to the left. The demand curve would remain unchanged.

As a result of the leftward shift of the supply curve, the equilibrium price would increase and quantity would fall.

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for $25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a small plant that relies heavily on direct labor workers. Thus, variable expenses are high, totaling $15.00 per ball, of which 60% is direct labor cost. Last year, the company sold 50,000 of these balls, with the following results:_______.
Sales (50,000 balls) $ 1,250,000
Variable expenses 750,000
Contribution margin 500,000
Fixed expenses 320,000
Net operating income $ 180,000
Required:
1. Compute (a) last year's CM ratio and the break-even point in balls, and (b) the degree of operating leverage at last year’s sales level.
2. Due to an increase in labor rates, the company estimates that next year's variable expenses will increase by $3.00 per ball. If this change takes place and the selling price per ball remains constant at $25.00, what will be next year's CM ratio and the break-even point in balls?
3. Refer to the data in (2) above. If the expected change in variable expenses takes place, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $202,000, as last year?
4. Refer again to the data in (2) above. The president feels that the company must raise the selling price of its basketballs. If Northwood Company wants to maintain the same CM ratio as last year (as computed in requirement 1a), what selling price per ball must it charge next year to cover the increased labor costs?
5. Refer to the original data. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40.00%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built, what would be the company’s new CM ratio and new break-even point in balls?
6. Refer to the data in (5) above.
a. If the new plant is built, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $202,000, as last year?
b. Assume the new plant is built and that next year the company manufactures and sells 37,000 balls (the same number as sold last year). Prepare a contribution format income statement and compute the degree of operating leverage.

Answers

Answer:

Please find attached solutions

Explanation:

a. Last year contribution margin ratio

= Contribution margin / Sales

= $500,000 / $1,250,000

= 40%

ai Break even point in balls

But Contribution margin per unit

= $25 - $15

= $10 per unit.

Therefore ,

Break even point in balls

= Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

= $320,000 / $10

= 32,000 balls.

b. The degree of operating leverage at last year' s sales level

= Contribution margin / Net operating income

= $500,000 / $180,000

= 2.78

1. Using the ABC system, for each style of faucet, compute the estimated overhead cost per unit.
2. Compute the estimated operating profit per unit.

Answers

Answer:

1. Using the ABC system, for each style of faucet, compute the estimated overhead cost per unit.

Brass = [(30 x $4,900) + (900 x $150)] / 30,000 units = $9.40 per unit

Chrome = [(25 x $4,900) + (1,000 x $150)] / 50,000 units = $5.45 per unit

White = [(40 x $4,900) + (800 x $150)] / 40,000 units = $7.90 per unit

2. Compute the estimated operating profit per unit.

Brass = $40 - $8 - $15 - $9.40 = $7.60

Chrome = $20 - $4 - $3 - $5.45 = $7.55

White = $30 - $8 - $9 - $7.90 = $5.10

Explanation:

cost per setup = $465,500 / 95 = $4,900 per setup hour

cost per inspection = $405,000 / 2,700 = $150 per inspection hour
