No Chart of Accounts was provided for exact wording of account titles.
Explanation:
1. No-par common stock: When shares are issued at no-par, it means that there is no set par value. Par value is the nominal value of a share. Issuing at no-par implies that the amount realized from the sale would be credited to the Common Stock without any to the Additional Paid-in Capital (APIC).
2. Issue of preferred 6% stock at par value: This means that the stock was issued without additional paid-in capital. The stock was issued at the nominal value without premium.
3. Issue of preferred 6% stock, $50 par at $65: This stock was issued at a premium. More was charged above the par value. There is additional paid-in capital of $15 per share. This additional is credited to Additional Paid-in Capital - Preferred.
Sepulvada Manufacturing Corporation produces a product that requires 2.6 pounds of materials per unit. The allowance for waste and spoilage per unit is .3 pounds and .1 pounds, respectively. The purchase price is $4 per pound, but a 2% discount is usually taken. Freight costs are $.15 per pound, and receiving and handling costs are $.10 per pound. The hourly wage rate is $9.00 per hour, but a raise which will average $.25 will go into effect soon. Payroll taxes are $1.00 per hour, and fringe benefits average $2.00 per hour. Standard production time is 1 hour per unit, and the allowance for rest periods and setup is .2 hours and .1 hours, respectively. The standard direct labor rate per hour is:
Answer:
$12
Explanation:
The standard direct labor rate is the budgeted direct labor cost per hour incurred in the manufacturing process. It is used to calculate the budgeted production costs:
the current hourly wage is $9.00 and we must add the payroll taxes per hour ($1.00) and the fringe benefits per hour ($2.00) = $9 + $1 + $2 = $12
Even though a pay raise will occur soon, until it does actually happen, it cannot be considered in the calculation of the standard labor rate.

Today's settlement price on a Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) yen futures contract is $0.8011/¥100. Your margin account currently has a balance of $2,000. The next three days' settlement prices are $0.8057/¥100, $0.7996/¥100, and $0.7985/¥100. (The contractual size of one CME yen contract is ¥12,500,000). If you have a long position in one futures contract, the changes in the margin account from daily marking-to-market, will result in the balance of the margin account after the third day to be?
Answer:
$2,325
Explanation:
$2,325 = $2,000 +¥12,500,000 *[(0.008011 - 0.008057) + (0.008057 - 0.007996) + (0.007996 - 0.007985)]
=$2,000 + ¥12,500,000 *)[(0.008011 - 0.007985)]
$0.8011/¥100 = $0.008011/¥
Hence:
$0.8057/¥100 = $0.008057/¥
Which of the following statements about Treasury bonds is the most accurate? Treasury bonds are completely riskless. Treasury bonds have a very small amount of default risk, so they are not completely riskless. Treasury bonds are not completely riskless, since their prices will decline when interest rates rise. Based on the information given in the following statement, answer the questions that follow: In July 2009, Walmart sold 100 billion yen of five-year samurai bonds. Lead managers in the deal were Mizuho Securities, BNP Paribas, and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities. Who is the issuer of the bonds? Walmart BNP Paribas Mitsubishi UFJ Securities What type of bonds are these? Municipal bonds Corporate bonds Government bonds
Answer: 1. Treasury bonds are not completely riskless, since their prices will decline when interest rates rise.
2. Walmart
3. Corporate bonds
Explanation:
1. Indeed even though Treasury bonds have a very low risk rating, they are not completely risk-less. They have a very low risk rating because they will always be honoured (US T - bonds that is) and so that eliminates the default risk. However, they are still exposed to maturity risk as well as inflation risk for the most part. This means that as interest rates rise therefore, their prices drop making them just a little but risky.
2. Walmart issued the bonds making them the issuer. The rest of the names are Underwriters.
3. Since the bonds were issued by a Corporation being Walmart, the bonds are Corporate Bonds.

Mayfield Company sells two products, Blue models and Plaid models. Blue models sell for $45 per unit with variable costs of $30 per unit. Plaid models sell for $50 per unit with variable costs of $25 per unit. Total fixed costs for the company are $19,950. Mayfield Company typically sells two Blue models for every three Plaid models. Required: What is the breakeven point in total units
Answer:
Break even point in total units is 950 units
Explanation:
The break even point in total units is the composite break even point considering both the products. This will give us one overall break even point for the company. The break even point in units is the number of units that must be sold in order for the total revenue to be equal to total costs.
To calculate the over all break even in units, we need to divide the fixed costs by the weighted average contribution per unit.
Weighted average contribution per unit = weight of product A in sales mix * contribution of product A + weight of product B in sales mix * contribution of product B
Sales mix = 2 + 3 = 5
Blue = 2 / 5 = 0.4
Plaid = 3 / 5 = 0.6
Weighted average contribution per unit = 2/5 * (45 - 30) + 3/5 * (50 - 25)
Weighted average contribution per unit = $21 per unit
Break even point in units = 19950 / 21 = 950 units
The Doodad Company purchases a machine for $440,000. The machine has an estimated residual value of $40,000. The company expects the machine to produce eight million units. The machine is used to make 700,000 units during the current period.If the units-of-production method is used, the depreciation expense for this period is:___________.A. $38,500.B. $700,000.
C. $660,000.D. $35,000.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $35,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The Doodad Company purchases a machine for $440,000.
The machine has an estimated residual value of $40,000.
The company expects the machine to produce eight million units.
The machine is used to make 700,000 units during the current period.
To calculate the depreciation expense under the units-of production method, we need to use the following formula.
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= [(440,000 - 40,000)/8,000,000]*700,000
Annual depreciation= 0.05*700,000
Annual depreciation= $35,000
Calla Company produces skateboards that sell for $69 per unit. The company currently has the capacity to produce 95,000 skateboards per year, but is selling 80,100 skateboards per year. Annual costs for 80,100 skateboards follow. Direct materials $ 937,170 Direct labor 680,850 Overhead 959,000 Selling expenses 549,000 Administrative expenses 475,000 Total costs and expenses $ 3,601,020 A new retail store has offered to buy 14,900 of its skateboards for $64 per unit. The store is in a different market from Calla's regular customers and would not affect regular sales. A study of its costs in anticipation of this additional business reveals the following: Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. 40 percent of overhead is fixed at any production level from 80,100 units to 95,000 units; the remaining 60% of annual overhead costs are variable with respect to volume. Selling expenses are 60% variable with respect to number of units sold, and the other 40% of selling expenses are fixed. There will be an additional $2.90 per unit selling expense for this order. Administrative expenses would increase by a $810 fixed amount. Required: 1. Prepare a three-column comparative income statement that reports the following: a. Annual income without the special order. b. Annual income from the special order. c. Combined annual income from normal business and the new business. 2. Should Calla accept this order?
Answer:
I do not have the necessary space to prepare the three column analysis, but the answers to the questions are:
since the special order does not affect current normal sales, its analysis should only consider relevant expenses, not regular expenses:
A) Income statement without the special order
total revenue = $69 x 80,100 = $5,526,900
- COGS = ($2,577,020)
Direct materials $937,170Direct labor $680,850Overhead $959,000gross profit = $2,949,880
- SG&A = ($1,024,000)
Selling exp. $549,000
Administrative exp. $475,000
net income = $1,925,880
B) relevant revenue from special order = 14,900 x $64 = $953,600
- relevant costs:
direct materials = ($937,170 / 80,100 units) x 14,900 = $174,330direct labor = ($680,850 / 80,100 units) x 14,900 = $126,650overhead = ($575,400 / 80,100 units) x 14,900 = $107,034selling expenses = [($329,400 / 80,100 units) x 14,900] + ($2.90 x 14,900) = $74,952 + $48,330 = $104,484administrative expenses = $810total relevant costs = $513,308gain from special order = $953,600 - $513,308 = $440,292
C) Income statement with the special order
total revenue = $6,480,500
- COGS = ($2,985,034)

Answer:
Calla Company:
1. Comparative Income Statement:
This is attached.
a) Sales:
i) Normal = $69 * 80,100 = $5,526,900
ii) Special order = $64 * 14,900 = $953,600
iii) Combined = $6,480,500
b) Direct Materials Cost:
i) Normal = $937,170
ii) Special order = $174,330 ($937170/80,100 x 14,900)
iii) Combined = $1,111,500
c) Direct Labour Cost:
i) Normal = $680,850
ii) Special = $126,650 ($680,850/80,100 x 14,900)
iii) Combined = $807,500
d) Overhead Costs:
i) Normal - $959,000
ii) Special = $107,034 ((60% of $959,000)/80,100 x 14,900)
iii) Combined = $1,066,034
e) Selling Expenses:
i) Normal = $549,000
ii) Special = $61,274 (60% of $549,000)/80,100 x 14,900)
iii) Combined = $610,274
f) Administrative:
i) Normal = $475,000
ii) Special = $810
iii) Combined = $475,810
2. Advise:
Calla should accept this order. Income would increase by more than $400,000.
Explanation:
This is "an accept or reject" special order type of decision. To compute costs, only relevant costs, which will vary with the special order, are considered. Sunk costs, which do not make a difference, are not taken into account in arriving at the income for the special order.
This analysis is also called Incremental Analysis or Differential Analysis. It helps management to make a decision of whether to accept the special order or not. It is an important technique in managerial accounting.

On January 1, 2018, M Company granted 99,000 stock options to certain executives. The options are exercisable no sooner than December 31, 2020, and expire on January 1, 2024. Each option can be exercised to acquire one share of $1 par common stock for $11. An option-pricing model estimates the fair value of the options to be $3 on the date of grant.
If unexpected turnover in 2019 caused the company to estimate that 10% of the options would be forfeited, what amount should M recognize as compensation expense for 2019?
Multiple Choice
$99,000
$33,000
$79,200
$49,500
Answer:
$79,200
Explanation:
The computation of the compensation expense for 2019 is shown below:
= Number of stock options × fair value of the options × remaining percentage × basis of share - Number of stock options
= [(99,000 × $3) × 90% × 2 ÷ 3] - 99,000
= $79,200
We simply applied the above formula so that the compensation expense for 2019 could come
The four components of planned aggregate expenditure are: A. spending on domestic goods, domestic services, foreign goods, and foreign services.B. spending on durable goods, inventory investment, government debt, and net exports.C. consumption, planned investment, government transfers, and net interest.D. consumption, planned investment, government purchases, and net exports.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
Aggregate Planned Expenditure (AE) can be defined as the sum value of all the finished products and services in an economy. This value is calculated by adding all the expenditures that are considered in an economy. These components are household consumption (C), planned investments (I), Government expenditures or purchases (G), and net exports (NX) [net exports is the difference between the total exports and total imports].
The sum value or the aggregate planned expenditure is calculated by adding all these components.
So, the correct answer is option D.
Oceanic Company has 15,000 shares of cumulative preferred 2% stock, $150 par and 50,000 shares of $15 par common stock. The following amounts were distributed as dividends: 20Y1 $67,500 20Y2 22,500 20Y3 135,000 Determine the dividends per share for preferred and common stock for each year. Round all answers to two decimal places. If an answer is zero, enter '0'.
Final answer:
The dividends per share for the preferred and common stock for each year are as follows: Preferred stock: 20Y1 - $4.50, 20Y2 - $1.50, 20Y3 - $9.00. Common stock: 20Y1 - $1.35, 20Y2 - $0.45, 20Y3 - $2.70.
Explanation:
To determine the dividends per share for the preferred and common stock for each year, we first need to calculate the total dividends distributed for each year. The formula to calculate the dividends per share is: Dividends per share = Dividends distributed / Total number of shares.
For the preferred stock:
20Y1: Dividends per share = $67,500 / 15,000 = $4.5020Y2: Dividends per share = $22,500 / 15,000 = $1.5020Y3: Dividends per share = $135,000 / 15,000 = $9.00For the common stock:
20Y1: Dividends per share = $67,500 / 50,000 = $1.3520Y2: Dividends per share = $22,500 / 50,000 = $0.4520Y3: Dividends per share = $135,000 / 50,000 = $2.70The dividends per share for each year are as follows:
Preferred stock: 20Y1 - $4.50, 20Y2 - $1.50, 20Y3 - $9.00Common stock: 20Y1 - $1.35, 20Y2 - $0.45, 20Y3 - $2.70Eilert Construction Company had a contract starting April 2018, to construct a $42,000,000 building that is expected to be completed in September 2019, at an estimated cost of $38,500,000. At the end of 2018, the costs to date were $17,710,000 and the estimated total costs to complete had not changed. The progress billings during 2018 were $8,400,000 and the cash collected during 2018 was $5,600,000. Eilert uses the percentage-of-completion method. [ What makes-up Construction in Process
Answer:
$20,790,000
Explanation:
Since the estimated total costs to complete had not change, the Construction is Process can be estimated as follows:
Construction in Process = Estimated total completion cost - Total costs of completion to date = $38,500,000 - $17,710,000 = $20,790,000
1) You are indecisive about which stock to buy Microsoft, which is selling for $173 a share; or Apple, which is selling for $285 a share. Microsoft stock promises to pay annual dividends of $4.00, $5.00, and $5.50 over the next three years respectively, and you estimate it can be sold for $190 at the end of the third year. You expect Apple to pay a dividend of $5.50 the first year, $8.50, and $10.50 over the next two years, respectively. You also expect Apple’s stock to be trading at $330 in three years. Which stock would you buy if stocks from computer manufacturers typically yield 10%?
Answer:
I would buy the APPLE stock
Explanation:
Microsoft stock price = $173
dividends earned = $4, $5 and $5.5
value after 3 years = $190
Apple stock price = $285
Dividends earned = $5.5, $8.5 and $10.5
value after 3 years = $330
Applying the dividend discount model
IVO = present value of dividend + present value of terminal price
for Microsoft
IVO = ( 4/1.1 + (5/(1.1/2)) + ( 5.5/(1.1/3)) + ( 190/(1.1/3))
= $154.65
for Apple
IVO = ( 5.5/1.1 + ( 8.5/( 1.1/2)) + (10.5/(1.1/3)) + ( 330/(1.1/3))
= $267.8
Note: the IVO's are less than the current price of the stocks ( IVO = the intrinsic value of the shares ) but Microsoft shares are overpriced compared to apple
Answer:
If decided to purchase, Apple will yield better
Explanation:
we solve for the present value of the future cashflow discounted at 10%
we will then compare against the current market price and pick with the better NPV
Microsoft:
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}#&Cashflow&Discounted\\1&4&3.64\\2&5&4.13\\3&195.5&146.88\\TOTAL&&154.65\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
154.65 - 173 = -18.36
Apple:
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}#&$Cashflow&$Discounted\\1&5.5&5\\2&8.5&7.02\\3&340.5&255.82\\&TOTAL&267.84\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
267.84 - 285 = -17.16
Now, as both are negative we must decide if we accep to receive less than 10% in which case, we will purchase stock as their net present alue is higher than microsoft.
There is a raging debate at the IT consulting firm where you work. Some staff members believe that it is harder for experienced analysts to learn object-modeling techniques, because the analysts are accustomed to thinking about data and processes as separate entities. Others believe that solid analytical skills are easily transferable and do not see a problem in crossing over to the newer approach. What do you think, and why?
Answer:
I think that solid analytical skills are easily transferable. So, there is no problem in crossing over to the newer approach.
Explanation:
An experienced analyst possesses core analytical skills such as researching, critical thinking, adaptability, eye for detail and strategy.
Now, the introduction of object modelling which differs from their current procedure will require a general orientation and if need be a thorough training on their part to get used to.
A skilled analysts, they can easily cross over to the new approach of object modeling which involves designing and developing object oriented software modeled from objects in the real world.
Final answer:
Experienced analysts can transition to object-modeling techniques by refining analytical skills and embracing new perspectives through continuous learning and adaptation in the technology and business sectors.
Explanation:
Object-modeling techniques can pose a challenge for experienced analysts who are used to separating data and processes, as this new approach requires a different mindset. However, solid analytical skills are indeed transferable, and individuals skilled in analysis can adapt to object-modeling techniques by honing their critical thinking abilities and by embracing the shift in perspective.
By learning new skills through observation, practice, and adaptation, workers in various industries can navigate changes in technology and management styles. It is crucial to continuously refine both job-specific and transferable skills to stay relevant and adaptable in the evolving landscape of technology and business.
Will Jones, Pharoah is a small CPA firm that focuses primarily on preparing tax returns for small businesses. The company pays a $424 annual fee plus $11 per tax return for a license to use Mega Tax software. (a) What is the company’s total annual cost for the Mega Tax software if 342 returns are filed? If 446 returns are filed? If 500 returns are filed?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the total annual cost for each returns are shown below:
a. For 342 returns
= $424 + $11 × $342
= $424 + $3,762
= $4,186
b. For 446 returns
= $424 + $11 × $446
= $424 + $4,906
= $5,330
c. For 500 returns
= $424 + $11 × $500
= $424 + $5,500
= $5,924
We simply pay the annual fees and then added the added value i.e annual fee multiply with the each returns filed
Nine years ago the Templeton Company issued 26-year bonds with an 11% annual coupon rate at their $1,000 par value. The bonds had a 9% call premium, with 5 years of call protection. Today Templeton called the bonds. Compute the realized rate of return for an investor who purchased the bonds when they were issued and held them until they were called. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
11.62%
Explanation:
Note: see the attached excel file for how the realized rate of return is estimated.
Face value = $1,000
Years completed = 9
Coupon rate = 11%
Coupon amount ($) = 110
Call premium = 9%
Call price = 1,090

I would like you to describe (at least) four different "rounds" in this process. By how much does the money supply increase during each round? What is the maximum the money supply can increase from this Open Market Purchase? What can lead to the actual increase being much lower than the above number?
Answer:
the answer is 500000
Explanation:
Solution
When bank gives out loan they don't reimburse them in cash rather they pit in amount into their demand deposit and deposit is also part of supply of money.
Normally, let's say bank give loan of 100000 to a first person.then bank will give the person 1 with the deposit demand in his account. based on requirements reserve ratio, the bank will keep 20% with them in cash and borrow the remaining 80000 to other person.
Again, the bank will deposit in person 2 or second person and lend 64000 o third person and keep 16000 as cash.
Importantly, in the explanation above when we say bank will deposit 80000 in persons account,its only refers to as book keeping, that is, it is written only in books and the account holder balance goes higher but the actual money stays with the bank.
Now,
Total amount of money supply bank can produce = the multiplier*high money powered =1/0.2*100000
=500000
Consider the assembly line of a laptop computer. The line consists of 12 stations and operates at a cycle time of 1.50 minutes/unit. Their most error-prone operation is step 1. There is no inventory between the stations, because this is a machine-paced line. Final inspection happens at station 12. What would be the information turnaround time for a defect made at station 1
Answer :
Information turnaround time = 16.50 minutes
Explanation :
As per the data given in the question,
Cycle time of whole line = 1.50 minutes/unit
which means 1 unit is made in 1.50 minutes. In the line of 12 stations 1st step is the most error prone.
Error made at step 1 means that unit must be processed by 11 other stations in order to be made and inspected at 12th station.
The information turnaround time = cycle time × number of stations after error is made
=1.50 × 11
= 16.50 minutes
The information turnaround time for a defect made at station 1 on an assembly line with a cycle time of 1.50 minutes/unit and final inspection at station 12 would be 16.5 minutes.
The information turnaround time for a defect made at station 1 on an assembly line producing laptop computers with the cycle time of 1.50 minutes/unit would be the time taken for the product to reach the final inspection stage at station 12. Since it's stated that this is a machine-paced line with no inventory between stations, we can calculate the turnaround time by multiplying the cycle time with the number of stations up to the inspection point. With 12 stations, including the station where the defect occurs and the final inspection station, the calculation would be:
Turnaround time = Cycle time x (Number of stations from the defective station to the inspection station)Turnaround time = 1.50 minutes/unit x (12 - 1)Turnaround time = 1.50 minutes/unit x 11Turnaround time = 16.5 minutesTherefore, the information turnaround time for a defect produced at station 1 and detected at station 12 would be 16.5 minutes.
Yard Tools manufactures lawnmowers, weed-trimmers, and chainsaws. Its sales mix and unit contribution margin are as follows. Sales Mix Unit Contribution Margin Lawnmowers 20 % $30 Weed-trimmers 50 % $21 Chainsaws 30 % $39 Yard Tools has fixed costs of $4,342,800. Compute the number of units of each product that Yard Tools must sell in order to break even under this product mix. Lawnmowers Enter a number of units units Weed-trimmers Enter a number of units units Chainsaws Enter a number of units units
Answer:
Total Break even sales = 154,000 units
Lawnmowers ($154,000 × 20%) = 30,800 Units
Weed-trimmers ($154,000 × 50%) = 77,000 units
Chainsaws ($154,000 × 30%) = 46,200 Units
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question, the computation is shown below:
Weighted contribution margin = Contribution margin × Sales mix
= (0.2 × 30) + (0.5 × $21) + (0.3 × $39)
= $28.2
Now, Total break even sales = Fixed cost ÷ Weighted contribution margin
= $4,342,800 ÷ $28.2
= 154,000 units
So classifications are as follows
Lawnmowers ($154,000 × 20%) = 30,800 Units
Weed-trimmers ($154,000 × 50%) = 77,000 units
Chainsaws ($154,000 × 30%) = 46,200 Units
We simply multiplied the total break even sales with each sales mix
3. (1 point) Suppose a firm faces potential demand from two customer bases, H and L, with high and low valuation of the firm’s product, respectively. If the product has network externalities and all type H customers are currently purchasing the product, then the price that can be charged to L consumers ________. a. increases with the number of H consumers b. decreases with the number of H consumers c. is independent of the number of H consumers d. cannot be determined because the price charged to H is not known
Answer: A. increases with the number of H consumers.
Explanation: If all type H customers are currently purchasing the product, it means that its customer base is large and significant enough and as such the firm would prefer to sell all of its product to H, and also do to the fact that there is only so much supply that a firm can provide. But, fewer quantities of goods would remain for L if more and more goods are sold to H. Due to this lower quantity supplied to the L customer base, it then means that the firm can set the price higher for L. This is because at a higher price, quantity demanded reduces (which is expected for L) and it can therefore maintain supply to H which has more customers.
Purchases Budget Rest Inn provides four-star accommodations for the vacation traveler. It is located just off a major interstate freeway. There are three other competing motels at the same exit. Hotel management is preparing its budget for the busiest three-month period of the year, June through August. To differentiate themselves from the competition, Rest Inn provides a complimentary spa package for each guest stay that includes specialty shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, toothpaste, lavender essential oil, slippers, earplugs, and a sleep mask. Rest Inn purchases the spa package from a local vendor that puts the Rest Inn private label on the products. The hotel follows a policy of purchasing enough spa packages to ensure that 40% of next month’s bookings are in the current month’s ending inventory. Rest Inn’s sales budget for guest stays for the next quarter is as follows:
June 2,300 guest stays
July 2,500 guest stays
August 2,100 guest stays
How many spa packages should Rest Inn budget for purchase in July?
Answer:
2,340
Explanation:
The computation of purchase to be made on July is shown below:-
Particulars June July August
Sales 2,300 2,500 2,100
Add: Closing Inventory 1,000 840
(40% of next month)
Less: Opening Inventory 1,000 840
(Closing of previous month)
Purchases to be made 3,300 2,340 1,260
Therefore the purchase to be made on July is 2,340

Answer:
A firm commitment arrangement with an investment banker occurs when an investment banker buys the securities for less than the offering price and accepts the risk of not being able to sell them.
The correct option is B.
Explanation:
A firm commitment arrangement happens when an investment banker buys the securities for less than the offering price and accepts the risk of not being able to sell them.
However, the issuer receives a little less money than the offering price but he gets a specific amount for all the security being issued. The risk rests completely on the investment banker.
Therefore, the correct option is B.

MangiareBuono plans to have the oil bottled in 16-ounce bottles with its own MangiareBuono label. If Fiorello accepts the order, it will save $0.23 per gallon in the packaging of Top Quality Oil. There is sufficient excess capacity for the order. However, the market for Refined Oil is saturated, and any additional sales of Refined Oil would take place at a price of $3.10 per gallon. Assume that no significant non-unit-level activity costs are incurred.
a. What is the profit normally earned on one production run of Refined Oil and Top Quality Oil?
b. Should Fiorello accept the special order?
Answer:
The complete question and solution is given in the box below
Explanation:
Special Order, Traditional Analysis Fiorello Company manufactures two types of cold-pressed olive oil, Refined Oil and Top Quality Oil, out of a joint process. The joint (common) costs incurred are $92,500 for a standard production run that generates 30,000 gallons of Refined Oil and 15,000 gallons of Top Quality Oil. Additional processing costs beyond the split-off point are $2.40 per gallon for Refined Oil and $1.95 per gallon for Top Quality Oil. Refined Oil sells for $4.25 per gallon, while Top Quality Oil sells for $8.30 per gallon. MangiareBuono, a supermarket chain, has asked Fiorello to supply it with 30,000 gallons of Top Quality Oil at a price of $8 per gallon. MangiareBuono plans to have the oil bottled in 16-ounce bottles with its own MangiareBuono label. If Fiorello accepts the order, it will save $0.23 per gallon in packaging of Top Quality Oil. There is sufficient excess capacity for the order. However, the market for Refined Oil is saturated, and any additional sales of Refined Oil would take place at a price of $3.10 per gallon. Assume that no significant non-unit-level activity costs are incurred. Required: 1. What is the profit normally earned on one production run of Refined Oil and Top Quality Oil? $ 2. Should Fiorello accept the special order?
solution
a) normal profit = (30,000 gallons x $4.25) + (15,000 gallons x $8.3) - $193,750 = $58,250
b) Do determine whether to accept the special order
cost per gallon = $92500 x 15000
45000
$30833
= 15000
$2.1 per gallon
$2.1 + $1.95 = $4.05
profit margin per gallon = $8 - $4.05 - $0.23
= $3.72
In this manner, special order ought to be acknowledged as we can see the net revenue is adequate to recover the related expenses and friends has the entrance limit also.
Fifteen years ago, you deposited $12,500 into an investment fund. Five years ago, you added an additional $20,000 to that account. You earned 8%, compounded semi-annually, for the first ten years, and 6.5%, compounded annually, for the last five years.
Required:
a)
What is the effective annual interest rate (EAR) you would get for your investment in the first 10
years?
b)
How much money do you have in your account today?
c)
If you wish to have $85000 now, how much should you have invested 15 years ago?
Answer:
Part A: 8.16%
Part B: $56,577.5
Part C: $39,700
Explanation:
Part A:
EAR = (1 + r / n )^ n - 1
Here
r is the nominal interest rate, which is 8%
n is the number of compounding periods in a year and here, for semiannual requirement it is 2.
So by putting values in the above equation, we have:
EAR = (1 + 8% /2) ^2 - 1
= 8.16 %
Part B:
Amount invested is $12500 which must be compounded for 10 years semi annually at the EAR. This means
The future value = Initial Investment + Interest Income for 10 year
Future Value after 10 years = $12500 + ( $12500 * 8.160%*10 years)
= $22,700
Similarly,
Amount invested for next 5 years is $42,700 ($22,700 and the additional $20,000 which was added to the account). This amount must be compounded for next 5 years at 6.5%. This means
Value Today = Initial Investment + Interest Income for 5 year
The Future Value = $42,700 + (42,700 * 6.5% * 5 years) = $56,577.5
Part C:
Let the initial amount that was deposited be "x".
As per the guidelines given in the question, for first 10 years the interest is EAR which is 8.16%.
Interest Earned = (x * 8.16% * 10 Years) = 0.816x
The same initial investment "x" would be investment for the next 5 years at 6.5% rate.
For next 5 years:
Interest Earned = (x * 6.5% * 5) = 0.325x
Future value of the investment at the end of the year 15 = $85,000
0.816x + 0.325x + x = $85,000
2.141x = $85,000
x = $85,000 / 2.141 = $39,700
A personal computer is used for office work at home, research, communication, personal finances, education, entertainment, social networking, and a myriad of other things. Suppose that the average number of hours a household personal computer is used is 4.4 hours per day, across the population of households in the United States. Assume the the population of household usage times is normally distributed and the standard deviation for the times is 2 hours.
You are told that a given household (Household A) from the population has the following two qualities
1. It uses its computer an above-average number of hours per day.
2. The probability of randomly drawing a household with a computer-usage at least as extreme (i.e., combining across extremely high and low usage rates) as Household A is 0.02.
What is the minimum number of hours per day that Household A must use its computer? Round your answer to the second decimal place. If you can't find the exact table entry you're looking for, use the table entry that's closest. If there's a tie, use the smaller of the two options.
**please explain each step to get the correct answer. Answer is 9.06
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
There are also many alternatives ways to solve this problem, but i think that you can understand the below concept which i have provided in the attached image.
Given that the probability of randomly drawing a household with a computer usage at least as extreme as Household A is 0.02, the minimum number of hours per day that Household A must use its computer is 9.06 hours.
Explanation:In this question, we're essentially being asked to find the Z score (the number of standard deviations from the mean) for a given probability. Here the average daily household use of a computer is given as 4.4 hours, and we're told the standard deviation (SD) is 2 hours.
We know from the information given that the household's usage is above average and their combined extreme usage rate, either high or low, is equivalent to a two-sided probability of 0.02. Since the distribution is normal, we find the corresponding Z score for one tail which equals to 0.02/2 = 0.01. Looking up in a standard Z score table, we find that the Z score corresponding to the 0.01 tail probability is about 2.33.
Now we can figure out the household's usage in comparison to the mean. Each Z score represents one SD from the mean. Using the formula X = μ + Zσ, X is the raw score we want to find, μ is the mean (4.4), Z is the Z score (2.33), and σ is the standard deviation (2). So, X = 4.4 + 2.33 * 2 = 9.06 (rounded to the second decimal place). So the household we're looking at must be using its computer at least 9.06 hours per day.

Oriole Sportswear manufactures a line of specialty T-shirts using a job order costing system. In March the company incurred the following costs to complete Job ICU2: direct materials, $14,000, and direct labor, $4,400. The company also incurred $1,580 of administrative costs and $5,400 of selling costs to complete this job. Job ICU2 required 800 machine hours. Factory overhead was applied to the job at a rate of $25 per machine hour. If Job ICU2 resulted in 6,000 good shirts, what was the cost of goods sold per shirt
Answer:
6.4
Explanation:
The computation of cost of goods sold per shirt is shown below:-
For computing the cost of goods sold per shirt first we need to find out the factory overhead applied and total production cost which is here below:-
Factory overhead applied = 800 × $25
= $20,000
Total Production cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Factory overhead applied
= $14,000 + $4,400 + $20,000
= $38,400
Per Unit Cost of Goods Sold = Total Production cost ÷ Number of Units Per JOB ICU 2
= $38,400 ÷ 6,000
= 6.4
Corporations often distribute profits to their shareholders in the form of dividends, which are simply checks mailed out to shareholders. Suppose that you have the chance to buy a share in a fashion company called Rogue Designs for $35 and that the company will pay dividends of $2 per year on that share every year. What is the annual percentage rate of return?
Answer:
5.71%
Explanation:
Corporations annual percentage rate of return
Dividends of $2 per year ÷ Designs for $35
=0.0571
=0.0571×100
=5.71%
Therefore a yearly dividend of $2 on a $35 share of stock equals a 5.71% annual rate of return
The annual percentage rate of return for the $35 share in Rogue Designs, which pays a $2 dividend per year, is approximately 5.71%.
Explanation:In this scenario, we're asked to determine the annual percentage rate of return for an investment in a share of a company called Rogue Designs. This concept is a term from financial mathematics that refers to the annual percent change in an investment's value. The formula to calculate the annual return rate is: Annual Return Rate = (Annual dividend / Price of share) x 100%.
In the case you presented, Rogue Designs' share costs $35 and it pays a $2 dividend per year. Substituting these given values into the formula, we find the annual return rate equals: (2 / 35) x 100%. So, the annual return rate is approximately 5.71%.
