Answer:
A $4,200
Explanation:
Given the following information, a company buys equipment for $48,000 expects to use it for ten years, and then sell it for $6,000
We need to use the formula below
Annual depreciation = (Original cost - Salvage value) / Estimated life(years)
Annual depreciation = ($48,000 - $6,000) / 10
Annual depreciation = $4,200
Cavern Company's output for the current period results in a $6,400 unfavorable direct material price variance. The actual price per pound is $62.00 and the standard price per pound is $60.00. How many pounds of material are used in the current period
Answer:
3,200 unit
Explanation:
Direct materials price variance = Quantity used * (Standard price - Actual price)
-$6,400 = Quantity used * ($60.00 - $62.00)
-$6,400 = Quantity used * -$2.00
Quantity used = -$6,400/-$2.00
Quantity used = 3,200 unit
So, the quantity of pounds of material used in the current period is 3,200 unit

Accurate Metal Company sold 36,500 units of its product at a price of $340 per unit. Total variable cost per unit is $179, consisting of $172 in variable production cost and $7 in variable selling and administrative cost. Compute the manufacturing margin for the company under variable costing.
Answer: $6,132,000
Explanation:
The manufacturing margin for the company under variable costing will use the variable production costs only as these are the variable costs incurred during manufacturing:
Variable manufacturing margin = ( Sales price - Variable cost per unit) * number of units
= (340 - 172) * 36,500
= 168 * 36,500
= $6,132,000
The fastener division of Southern Fasteners manufactures zippers and then sells them to customers for $8 per unit. Its variable cost is $3 per unit, and its fixed cost per unit is $1.50. Management would like the fastener division to transfer 12,000 of these zippers to another division within the company at a price of $3. The fastener division could avoid $0.20 per zipper of variable packaging costs by selling internally.
Determine the minimum transfer price:
(a) Assuming the fastener division is not operating at full capacity, and
(b) Assuming the fastener division is operating at full capacity.
Answer:
a. $2.80b. $7.80Explanation:
a. Assuming the fastener division is not operating at full capacity
When the division is not operating at full capacity, they have space to take on the production requests for other divisions and so won't incur any opportunity costs from not producing for outside customers.
Minimum transfer price = Net Variable cost
= Variable cost - cost saving if sold internally
= 3 - 0.2
= $2.80
b. Assuming the fastener division is operating at full capacity.
At full capacity the division does not have space to produce for internal divisions without incurring losses from not selling outside. The transfer price will therefore be the selling price to customers less the variable cost savings:
= Selling price - variable cost savings
= 8 - 0.2
= $7.80
The balance in a company's Cash account on August 31 was $18,800 before the bank reconciliation was prepared. After examining the August bank statement and items included with it, the company's accountant found: Checks outstanding $ 3,300 NSF check 110 Note collected by bank for the Colt Company 1,650 Deposits outstanding 2,800 Bank service fees 220 What is the amount of cash that should be reported in the balance sheet as of August 31
Answer:
$20,340
Explanation:
The amount of cash to be recognize is the adjusted amount after considering the transactions that were omitted from the bank statement and cash book and properly recognizing the erroneous entries into the two books.
Considering the reconciling items,
Checks outstanding $ 3,300 - This has been recognized in the company's Cash account and as such need no adjustment in the company's books
NSF check 110 - This has been deducted from the company's cash book but was not honored by the bank as such, it will be added back to the company's cash book balance
Note collected by bank for the Colt Company 1,650 - This has been recognized by the bank and as such will be added to the company's cash book balance
Deposits outstanding 2,800 - This has been recognized in the company's Cash account and as such need no adjustment in the company's books.
Bank service fees 220 - This has been recognized by the bank and as such will be deducted as a charge to the company's cash book balance
Hence the amount of cash that should be reported in the balance sheet as of August 31 will be
= $18,800 + $110 + $1650 - $220
= $20,340
Suppose that an additional 350 hours per week can be obtained from the milling machines by working overtime. The incremental cost would be $2.00 per hour. What would be the allowable increase(from the excel sensitivity report) in overtime when compared to additional hours that can be obtained
Solution :
It is given that :
Additional time obtained per week from milling machines = 350
The incremental cost = $ 2 per hour
Therefore, the allowable increase for milling operation is 400.
This indicates that we can accommodate additional constraint RHS of [tex]200[/tex] hours.
Also we have to consider the impact on the profit of 2.25 which is an incremental cost of [tex]1.5[/tex] is well affordable.
The following information relates to last year's operations at the Legumes Division of Gervani Corporation: Minimum required rate of return 12% Return on investment (ROI) 15% Sales $ 900,000 Turnover (on operating assets) 3 times What was the Legume Division's net operating income last year
Answer: $45000
Explanation:
Firstly, the operating asset will be calculated which will be:
Operating asset = Sales / Turnover
= 900,000/3
Operating assets = $300,000
Then, the net operating income will be: Return on investment × Operating assets
Net operating income = 300,000 × 15%
= 300,000*0.15
= $45,000
Therefore, Legume Division's net operating income last year is $45000

About 1.4 billion pounds of American, cheddar and other kinds of cheese is socked away at cold-storage warehouses across the country, the biggest stockpile since federal record-keeping began a century ago...Many [cheese companies] are paying to store their excess cheese in hopes demand and prices will improve. Source: Heather Haddon, "America Can't Move Its Cheese," Wall Street Journal, December 17, 2018. What effect did the strategy of warehousing cheese have on the supply of cheese? Using the line drawing tool, show the effect of cheese producers storing cheese in warehouses rather than offering it for sale. Properly label your line. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required object
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Since the cheese companies are paying to store their excess cheese in hopes demand and prices will improve, then this will bring about the reduction in the supply of cheese in the market but the demand for cheese will still be constant.
Due to the fact that there is shortage of supply, the supply curve will shift leftward and as a result of this, the price if cheese will increase and the quantity demanded by the customers will then decrease as a result of price increase.

An electronics store introduces three new types of music players to its customers. Each of the new music players are priced at $99, $79, and $59. Which psychological pricing approach is the store using to price the music players
Answer: The case of the number nine
Explanation:
Studies have shown that the human brain prefers to buy things whose prices end with the number 9 as opposed to zero such as 10 or 100.
The brain apparently interprets the number 9 at the end of a price to mean that the person is saving money and getting better value by buying the product. In making all three prices end in nine, the electronics store is using this psychological pricing strategy.

On June 30, 2021, Moran Corporation issued $9.0 million of its 8% bonds for $8.1 million. The bonds were priced to yield 10%. The bonds are dated June 30, 2021. Interest is payable semiannually on December 31 and July 1. If the effective interest method is used, by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 202
Answer:
$45,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 202
First step
Semiannual interest paid on 31.12.2021 = $9,000,000*8%*6/12
Semiannual interest paid on 31.12.2021= $360,000
Second step
Effective interest expense on 31.12.2021 = $8,100,000 * 10% * 6/12
Effective interest expense on 31.12.2021= $405,000
Last step
Bond discount to be reduced for 6 months ended 31.12.2021 = $405,000 - $360,000
Bond discount to be reduced for 6 months ended 31.12.2021=$45,000
Therefore by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 202 will be $45,000

Southwestern Bank offers to lend you $50,000 at a nominal rate of 6.9%, compounded monthly. The loan (principal plus interest) must be repaid at the end of the year. Woodburn Bank also offers to lend you the $50,000, but it will charge an annual rate of 9.0%, with no interest due until the end of the year. How much higher or lower is the effective annual rate charged by Woodburn versus the rate charged by Southwestern?
a. 1.68%
b. 1.98%
c. 2.08%
d. 1.78%
e. 1.88%
Answer:
e. 1.88%
Explanation:
EAR = (1+APR/m)^m. M means compounding periods
For Southwestern Bank
EAR = (1 + 0.069/12)^12 - 1
EAR = 1.00575^12 - 1
EAR = 1.0712245 - 1
EAR = 0.0712245
EAR = 7.12%
So, the difference between the effective annual rate charged by Woodburn versus the rate charged by Southwestern is 1.88% (9% - 7.12%)

A company purchases 50 units of inventory for $3.50 on January 5 and 35 units for $3.00 on January 25. It sells a total of 65 units on January 31. If the company is following the FIFO method of inventory costing, what is the total cost of the inventory sold?
Answer:
COGS= $220
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A company purchases 50 units of inventory for $3.50 on January 5 and 35 units for $3.00 on January 25.
Number of units sold= 65
First, we need to calculate the number of units in ending inventory:
Ending inventory in units= (50 + 35) - 65= 20
Now, under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory:
COGS= 50*3.5 + 15*3
COGS= $220

Explanation:
A foreign exchange market can be defined as a type of market where the currency of a country is converted to that of another country.
For example, the conversion of the United States of America dollars into naira, rands, yen, pounds, euros, etc., at the foreign exchange market.
In this context, a stronger euro is less favorable for American tourists traveling in France because the currency of the Americans, which is the U.S dollars would exchange at a far lesser rate to the euros.
However, a stronger euro would be more favorable for German tourists that are traveling abroad, Canadian firms that trade or sells its products in Germany, and Canadian investors who are having money investments in Germany.
Note: Euro is the official currency (legal tender or money) of Germany.
Considering the available options, a stronger euro is less favorable for "American tourists traveling in France."
This is because the United States of America uses the dollar as currency, while European countries, including France, are using Euro.
Thus, should an American carry dollar to France, and meets a stronger Euro, has a value of money (dollar) would be reduced, and therefore would be less favorable to him.
Option A is wrong because German tourists traveling abroad are favorable to the German as the Euro is stronger.
Option C is wrong because Canadian firms selling in Germany would earn in Euro, thereby getting money with more value.
Option D is wrong because Canadian investors with money investments in Germany would earn in Euro.
Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option B. "American tourists traveling in France."
Group of answer choices.
A. German tourists traveling abroad.
B. American tourists traveling in France.
C. Canadian firms selling in Germany.

Answer:
c
c
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company
Determining Market-Based and Negotiated Transfer Prices
Carreker, Inc., has a number of divisions, including the Alamosa Division, producer of surgical blades, and the Tavaris Division, a manufacturer of medical instruments.
Alamosa Division produces a 2.6 cm steel blade that can be used by Tavaris Division in the production of scalpels. The market price of the blade is $22.00. Cost information for the blade is:
Variable product cost $ 9.60
Fixed cost 6.00
Total product cost $15.60
Tavaris needs 15,000 units of the 2.6 cm blade per year. Alamosa Division is at full capacity (90,000 units of the blade).
Required:
Round your answers to the nearest cent.
If Carreker, Inc., has a transfer pricing policy that requires transfer at full product cost, what would the transfer price be?
$ per unit
Do you suppose that Alamosa and Tavaris divisions would choose to transfer at that price?
Alamosa
Tavaris
Answer:
Carreker, Inc.
The transfer price per unit is $15.60.
Travaris would choose to transfer at this full cost price of $15.60 per unit, while Alamosa would choose to transfer at the market price of $22.00 per unit.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Divisions: Alamosa and Tavaris
Market price of blade per unit = $22
Production costs:
Variable product cost $ 9.60
Fixed cost 6.00
Total product cost $15.60
Units of the blade required by Tavaris = 15,000
Full product cost, transfer price = $15.60 per unit
Total transfer price = $234,000 (15,000 * $15.60)
Choice price per unit:
Alamosa = $22.00
Tavaris = $15.60
Denise will receive annual payments of $10,000 for the next 25 years. The discount rate is 6.8 percent. What is the difference in the present value of these payments if they are paid at the beginning of each year rather than at the end of each year
Answer: $8,069.29
Explanation:
If it is paid at the beginning of the year, it accumulates an extra year of interest and would be an Annuity Due.
If it is paid at the end, it is an ordinary annuity.
Present value of annuity due = Annuity * Present value interest factor of Annuity due, 6.8%, 25 periods
= 10,000 * 12.673521
= $126,735.21
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 6.8%, 25 periods
= 10,000 * 11.866592
= $118,665.92
Difference :
= 126,735.21 - 118,665.92
= $8,069.29
