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

: Imagine that Canada, the US, and Mexico decide to adopt a fixed exchange rate system. What would be the likely consequences of such a system for the flow of trade and investment between all three countries

Answers

Answer:

The exchange rate would benefit the U.S. and Canada more, that it would benefit Mexico.

This is because the Mexican currency: Mexican Peso, is devalued when compared to the U.S. Dollar and the Canadian Dollar. This means that Mexican exports are comparatively cheaper than American or Canadian exports, causing a great growth of Mexican manufacturing in recent decades.

In a fixed exchange rate system, Mexico would lose this competitive advantage. It would still have lower labor costs, but the amount of manufacturing that would move from the U.S. and Canada to Mexico would probably be less.

The supply of luxury boats is perfectly​ elastic, the demand for luxury boats is unit​ elastic, and with no tax on luxury boats the price is ​$22 million and 210210 luxury boats a week are bought. Now luxury boats are taxed 10%. What is the new quantity of boats sold and what is the governments tax revenue?

Answers

Answer:

New demand = 189 boats

Explanation:

Given:

Total demand = 210 boats

Price = $22 million

Tax increase = 10%

Find:

New demand

Governments tax revenue

Computation:

price increase by 10% so, demand decrease by 10%

New demand = Total demand [100% - 10%]

New demand = 210 [90%]

New demand = 189 boats

Governments tax revenue = 189[($22million + 10%) - $22million]

Governments tax revenue = 189[$24.2 - $22million]

Governments tax revenue = $415.8 million]

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

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

You are going to deposit $26,000 today. You will earn an annual rate of 6.1 percent for 11 years, and then earn an annual rate of 5.5 percent for 14 years. How much will you have in your account in 25 years?

Answers

Answer:

Total value in the account after 25 years = $105,530.26

Explanation:

The value of an amount invested at a certain rate of return for certain number of years where interest compounded annually is known as the future value.  

The future value of an investment can be determined using the future value formula. This formula is stated below:

FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)

FV - Future Value , PV- Present Value, r-rate of return, n- number of years

For the first compounding, 6.1% for 11 years

PV - 26,000, r- 6.1% and n- 11

FV = 26,000 × (1.061)^11 = 49,870.367

For the second round of compounding at 5.5% for 14 years

PV - 49,870.367 , r -5.5%, n- 14

FV = 49,870.367× 1.055^14 = 105,530.259

Total value in the account after 25 years = $105,530.26

Schrank Company is trying to decide how many units of merchandise to order each month. Company policy is to have 30% of the next month's sales in inventory at the end of each month. Projected sales for August, September, and October are 35,000 units, 25,000 units, and 45,000 units, respectively. How many units must be purchased in September?

Answers

Answer:

31,000 units

Explanation:

Calculation for how many units must be purchased in September

Using this formula

Purchase = (Percentage of the month's sales in inventory × Projected sales for October + Projected sales for September - (Percentage of the month's sales in inventory ×Projected sales for September)

Let plug in the formula

Purchase =(30%× 45,000) + 25,000 - (30% × 25,000)

Purchase =13,500+25,000 -(7,500)

Purchase =38,500-7,500

Purchase =31,000 Units

Therefore 31,000 units must be purchased in September

The better-off test for evaluating whether a particular diversification move is likely to generate added value for shareholders involves determining whether the proposed diversification move Group of answer choices provides the company with additional resource strengths. provides additional ways to build the entrepreneurial skills of the company's senior managers. spreads stockholders' risks across a greater number of lines of business. has competitively valuable value chain match-ups with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart. has good potential for increasing the company's rate of return on invested capital.

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.

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

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.

Explanation:

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.

Assume that ExxonMobil uses a standard cost system for each of its refineries. For the Houston refinery, the monthly fixed overhead budget is $8,000,000 for a planned outputs of 5,000,000 barrels. For September, the actual fixed cost was $8,750,000 for 5,100,000 barrels.
Required
a. Determine the fixed overhead budget variance.
b. If fixed overhead is applied on a per-barrel basis, determine the volume variance.
c. Provide formulas and an explanation.

Answers

Answer:

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

= $8,000,000 - $8,750,000

= $750,000 Unfavorable

b. Predetermined overhead rate per barrel = $8,000,000 / 5,000,000

= $1.60 per barrel

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

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

Answers

Answer:

C) it can create an incentive for managers to manipulate information to prop up a stock price temporarily, giving them a chance to cash out before the price returns to a level reflective of the firm's true prospects

Explanation:

A disadvantage of using stock options to compensate managers is that it can create an incentive for managers to manipulate information to prop up a stock price temporarily, giving them a chance to cash out before the price returns to a level reflective of the firm's true prospects.

A stock option is a contractual agreement that gives a buyer (investor) the right but certainly not an obligation to buy or sell a stock at a specified price and date, depending on the options' form. Generally, in business finance there are basically two (2) types of options;

1. Puts: it is a bet that a stock will likely fall in the short or long run.

2. Calls: it involves betting that a stock will rise in the short run or long run.

Hence, if managers are compensated with a stock option it gives them the opportunity to cash out early.

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.

A 5-year corporate bond yields 7.0%. A 5-year municipal bond (tax exempt bond) of equal risk yields 5.0%. Assume that the state tax rate is zero. At what federal tax rate are you indifferent between the two bonds?

Answers

Answer:

The tax rate is approximately(rounded to a whole) 29%

Explanation:

The federal tax that would make an investor indifferent between the 5-year corporate bond and the 5-year municipal bond can be derived by equating the return on the former to the taxable return of the latter as below:

5%=7%*(1-t)

where the t is the unknown tax rate

Note that the return on 5-year corporate bond is taxable while the return on the municipal bond is tax-free

5%=7%*(1-t)

5%/7%=1-t

0.7143  =1-t

t=1-0.7143  

t=29%

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

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.
