"The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $10, direct labor $4, variable manufacturing overhead $3, fixed manufacturing overhead $10, variable selling and administrative expenses $1, and fixed selling and administrative expenses $8. Using a 25% markup percentage on total per unit cost, compute the target selling price."

Answers

Answer:

The target selling price =$45  

Explanation:

The target selling price is the sum of the total unit cost plus 25% of the the unit cost

The target selling price = Total per unit cost + (25% × total unit cost)

The total unit cost is the sum of all the costs involved making the product available to the consumer.

The sum of direct material cost , labour cost variable manufacturing, fixed manufacturing overhead, variable selling and administrative expenses and fixed selling and administrative expenses.

The target selling price would be determined using te steps below:

Step 1: Calculate the unit cost

Total unit cost = 10 + 4 + 3 + 10 + 1 + 8 = 36  

Total unit cost = $36

Step 2: Calculate the target selling price

Target selling price = Unit cost + (25%× unit cost)

The target selling price = 36 + (25% × 36) = $45  

The target selling price =$45

Answers

Answer:

D. Rise, fall, or stay the same

Explanation:

In the case of a new invention, there are several scenarios that could play out. An invention which makes a job such as coal mining which was previously dangerous and dirty to become safer could result in;

1. A rise in the wages of the miners, perhaps, because their productivity is now increased.

2. A fall in the wages of the miners perhaps because they do not have to do much stressful work as there is now new machinery to make work easier.

3. Stay the same if the employer reasons that their wages are sufficient or commensurate to the work they now do.

Answers

Answer:

$200

Explanation:

total profit = total revenue - total cost

average cost = $5

average revenue =  $15

total revenue = average revenue x quantity = $15 x 20 = $300

total cost = average cost x quantity = $5 x 20 = $100

total profit = $300 - $100 = $200

An investor considers investing $10,000 in the stock market. He believes that the probability is 0.30 that the economy will improve, 0.40 that it will stay the same, and 0.30 that it will deteriorate. Further, if the economy improves, he expects his investment to grow to $15,000, but it can also go down to $8,000 if the economy deteriorates. If the economy stays the same, his investment will stay at $10,000.a. What is the expected value of his investment?b. Should he invest the $10,000 in the stock market if he is risk neutral?c. Is the decision clear-cut if he is risk averse? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

a. What is the expected value of his investment?

$10,900

b. Should he invest the $10,000 in the stock market if he is risk neutral?

If the investor is risk neutral, then he pays little attention to market risk, therefore, he/she should invest because the expected value is higher than the investment.

c. Is the decision clear-cut if he is risk averse?

If the investor is risk averse, it means that he/she is afraid of market risk and likes to make decisions that involve the least possible risk. In this case, the possibility of losing money is not that large (in my opinion) and the expected value is relatively high, but a risk averse investor would probably prefer an investment that yields a lower rate but is more secure, e.g. US securities.

Explanation:

total investment $10,000

if economy improves = 0.30 x $15,000 = $4,500if economy remains the same = 0.40 x $10,000 = $4,000if economy deteriorates = 0.30 x $8,000 = $2,400

total expected value = $10,900

(c) Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
(d) This change in spending causes the government to run a budget _______, which _______ national saving.
(e) This causes the interest rate to _______, and the level of investment spending to _______

Answers

Answer:

(a) This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to DECREASE and the level of investment spending to INCREASE.

The supply of loanable funds will increase, therefore, the equilibrium price (interest rate) will decrease.

(b) An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.

The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to DECREASE and the level of investment to DECREASE.

The demand of loanable will decrease, therefore, decreasing the equilibrium price (interest rate).

(c) Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.

(d) This change in spending causes the government to run a budget SURPLUS, which INCREASES national saving.

(e) This causes the interest rate to DECREASE, and the level of investment spending to INCREASE.

Since the government has extra money, it can use it to pay existing debts or finance themselves without having to issue new debt. Since the demand for loanable funds decrease, the interest rates will fall.

Summary: With 250,000 employees in 19 countries, Aramark wanted to motivate its employees who clean airplanes for Delta and Southwest Airlines. Turnover of the low-paid, largely immigrant staff was high while morale was low. Wallets and other valuables left on planes disappeared. After 5 years of efforts to increase motivation, revenue rose from $5 million to $14 million. 1. What motivation theories apply to the workers at Aramark? 2. If you were the manager of these employees, what would you do to motivate them? Be honest regarding your personal management style and beliefs rather than trying to be like Roy Pelaez. 3. What are some possible barriers to the effectiveness of your motivation ideas? What could you do to overcome them?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

(A)

What motivation theory applies to the workers at Aramark?

The workers should be motivated with payments for the return of valuables forgotten in the aircraft.

(B)

To motivate them, offer them a salary increase

(C)

Some possible barriers to the effectiveness of these motivation ideas are gluttony (depending on individual worker), a period of stiff or falling profit (which will hinder the smooth running of the new benefit policies), change of management.

(D)

What could you do, to overcome them?

To ensure that workers do not still steal forgotten valuables, place a check or supervision on them.

To ensure the profit level is maintained or increased, make sure the workers do not relent in their duties. Sometimes, more benefits make workers relax more.

d. 4.99
e. 8.30
f. 8.44

Answers

Answer:

Inventory Turnover 2017 = 4.99 times

So option d is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Inventory turnover ratio is an accounting ratio which is used to determine the number of times the average level of inventory is sold off and replaced in a particular period. The formula to calculate the inventory turnover times is,

Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory

Where,

Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) / 2

Average Inventory 2017 = (79380 + 76700) / 2

Average Inventory 2017 = $78040

Inventory Turnover 2017 = 389500 /  78040

Inventory Turnover 2017 = 4.99 times

Your Competitive Intelligence team is predicting that the Chester Company will invest in adding capacity to their Cute product this year. Assume Chester's product Cute invests in increasing its capacity by 10% this year. Because of this new information, your company anticipates all other products in the Core segment will increase their capacity by the same amount. How much can the industry produce in the Core segment the next year? Consider only products primarily in the Core segment last year. Ignore current inventories. Figures in thousands (000).

Answers

Answer:

HELLO SOME PARTS OF THE QUESTION IS MISSING ATTACHED BELOW IS THE MISSING PARTS

answer : 13156

Explanation:

Considering only products primarily in the core segment last year.

they are : Ant, cone, cute,Drat and Daze

From the question it is assumed that Chester's product Cute and other products in its Core segment will be increased  by 10% this year hence we will calculate the 10% increase of each core product and add it to its initial value

For ANT (1550)

will become = 1550 + ( 10% * 1550 ) = 1705

For CONE ( 1050 )

will become = 1050 + ( 10% * 1050 ) = 1155

For Cute ( 1300 )

will become =  1300 + (10% * 1300 ) = 1430

For Drat ( 1040 )

will become = 1040 + ( 10% * 1040 ) = 1144

For DAZE ( 1040 )

will become = 1040 + ( 10% * 1040 ) = 1144

The total capacity of the current year = 1705 + 1155 + 1430 + 1144 + 1144 = 6578

Hence the Total capacity the Industry will produce in the core next year still applying the 10% increment will be = 2 * 6578 = 13156

Suppose the current term structure of interest rates, assuming annual compounding, is as follows: s_1s 1 ​ s_2s 2 ​ s_3s 3 ​ s_4s 4 ​ s_5s 5 ​ s_6s 6 ​ 7.0% 7.3% 7.7% 8.1% 8.4% 8.8% What is the discount rate d(0,4)d(0,4)? (Recall that interest rates are always quoted on an annual basis unless stated otherwise.)

Answers

Answer: The answer is 7.53%

Explanation:

To calculate for the discount rate of d(0,4)d(0,4)

The discount factor is : d=1/1+i

Provided the interest rates are compounded annually the discount factor will give the present value of the bond when provided with the interest rate and maturity value.

Going with the above, the present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will be;

Present value=1 /(1+i1) (1+i) (1+i3) (1+i4)

Present value=1 / (1.07) (1.073) (1.077) (1.081)

Present value=0.748

The present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will hence be 0.748.

Therefore, to calculate the discounting factor for the 4 years:

1 (1+d (0,4))‐⁴ =0.748

(1+d(0,4))=0.748‐¹/⁴

1+d (0,4) =1.0753

d (0,4)=0.0753

Finally, the discount rate will be 7.53%

Can a broker arbitrarily penalize an independent contractor based on varying factors, such as the sales agent's difficulty in closing a deal or failure to produce paperwork in a timely fashion?

Answers

Answer:

No

Explanation:

An independent contractor is a business person or entity who works for an employer based on an agreed-upon contract which affords him the flexibility of choosing how and when he accomplishes a task. The employer has the right to control the results of his work but has little or no say on how and when the job is done.

An independent contractor is not bound to work specific hours dictated by an employer. When the sale's agent finds it difficult to close a deal or is unable to produce paperwork in a timely fashion, he cannot just be arbitrarily penalized by the broker. The broker could terminate the contract if the agent does not meet up to his requirements.

A mutual fund sponsor has three different income funds, holding AAA rated debt securities with similar maturities. Assuming that the expense ratios for the funds are identical, which fund would have the lowest yield from investment income?

Answers

Answer: C. Municipal Bond Fund

Explanation:

Municipal Bonds would be the fund with the lowest yield from investment income. This is assuming they are all AAA rated debt securities with similar maturities. This is because Municipal bonds are tax exempt and not very risky so their yields will be quoted as less as they do not have to compensate investors on tax losses.

Corporate Bonds are the riskiest of the options given so they will have the highest yield as they have to compensate for both risk and taxes.

Government Bonds are considered very low when it comes to risk but they are taxed by the Federal Government so have higher yields to compensate for tax.

"Jaymes Corporation produces high-performance rotors. It expects to produce 78,000 rotors in the coming year. It has invested $12,566,667 to produce rotors. The company has a required return on investment of 18%. What is its ROI per unit

Answers

Answer:

$29

Explanation:

The computation of return on investment per unit is shown below:-

Return on investment = Total Investment × Required Rate on Investment

= $12,566,667 × 18%

= $2,262,000.06

Return in investment per unit = Required ROI ÷ Total Rotors

= $2,262,000.06 ÷ 78,000

= $29

Therefore for computing the return on investment we simply applied the above formula.

The cost of goods manufactured for May is:___________
$229,000
$234,000
$231,000
$236,000

Answers

Answer:

$234,000

Explanation:

cost of goods manufactured = beginning work in process + direct materials + direct labor + manufacturing overhead cost applied - ending work in process

cost of goods manufactured = $25,000 + $65,000 + $95,000 + $69,000 - $20,000 = $234,000

cost of goods sold = beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory + underapplied overhead  

cost of goods sold = $54,000 + $234,000 - $58,000 + $2,000 = $232,000

Danaher Woodworking Corporation produces fine furniture. The company uses a job-order costing system in which its predetermined overhead rate is based on capacity. The capacity of the factory is determined by the capacity of its constraint, which is an automated lathe. Additional information is provided below for the most recent month: Estimates at the beginning of the month: Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 36,400 Capacity of the lathe 400 hours Actual results: Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 36,400 Actual hours of lathe use 380 hours Required: a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on capacity. b. Calculate the manufacturing overhead applied. c. Calculate the cost of unused capacity.

Answers

Answer:

a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on capacity.

$91 per lathe hour

b. Calculate the manufacturing overhead applied.

$34,580

c. Calculate the cost of unused capacity.

$1,820

Explanation:

Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $36,400

Capacity of the lathe 400 hours

predetermined overhead rate per lathe hour = $36,400 / 400 = $91

actual results:

Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $36,400

Actual hours of lathe use 380 hours

applied overhead = $91 x 380 lathe hours = $34,580

cost of unused capacity = $36,400 - $34,580 = $1,820

Answers

Answer: $74,000

Explanation:

The Average Investment refers to the average cash invested into a particular project and is useful in calculating the rate of return. The simple formula is to add the beginning value of the asset to its ending value and divide this by 2.

The ending value in this case would be the salvage value;

Average Investment = [tex]\frac{Beginning Cost of Machine + Salvage Value}{2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{144,000 + 4,000}{2}[/tex]

= $74,000

Sheffield Company has $145,000 of inventory at the beginning of the year and $131,000 at the end of the year. Sales revenue is $1,972,800, cost of goods sold is $1,145,400, and net income is $248,400 for the year. The inventory turnover ratio is:

Answers

Answer:

Sheffield Company

Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory

= $1,145,400/$138,000

= 8.3 times

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Beginning inventory = $145,000

Ending inventory = $131,000

Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory)/2

= ($145,000 + 131,000)/2

= $138,000

Sales revenue = $1,972,800

Cost of goods sold = $1,145,400

Net income = $248,400

b) The inventory turnover ratio for Sheffield Company  is an efficiency ratio that shows how inventory is managed and the number of times Sheffield sells or consumes the inventory during an accounting period.   This is why Sheffield Company takes the average of the inventories in order to smoothen seasonal fluctuations in the inventory level during the year.  When this ratio divides the number of days in the accounting period, Sheffield will get the days it takes for inventory to be purchased or produced, and then sold or consumed.
