Dexter Consulting, Inc. recently reported the following information: Net income = $395,000 Sales = $700,000 Total Assets = $1.5 million Tax rate = 21% Interest expense = 13,000 Accounts Payable = 74,000 Notes Payable = 900,000 Accruals = 12,000 After-tax cost of capital = 10% What is the company’s EVA?
Answer:
$170,650
Explanation:
economic value added (EVA) = NOPAT – (WACC x capital invested)
NOPAT = net operating profits after taxWACC = weighted average cost of capitalcapital invested = assets - current liabilitiesNOPAT = net income x (1 - 21%) = $395,000 x 0.79 = $312,050
WACC = 10%
capital invested = $1,500,000 - $74,000 (accounts payable) - $12,000 (accruals) = $1,414,000
EVA = $312,050 - (10% x $1,414,000) = $312,050 - $141,400 = $170,650

g You want to save sufficient funds to generate an annual cash flow of $50,000 a year for 20 years as retirement income. You currently have no retirement savings but plan to save an equal amount each year for the next 30 years until your retirement. How much do you need to save each year if you can earn 8 percent on the savings? (10 Points)
Answer:
You need to save $4,012.45 each year
Explanation:
Pertiuty in 20 years is $50,000.
So the amount must be in account after 30 years saving to enough for above pertiuty is calculated as below:
= $50000/(1+8%)+ $50000/(1+8%)^2+......+$50000/(1+8%)^20
= $50,000 * Annuity Factor ( 1-20 years) of 8%
=$50000*9.818
= $490,907
To have $490,907 (FV) in account after 30 years (tenor), now you have save an amount each year (PMT) calculated as below:
$490,907 = PMT*(1+8%)^30+....PMT*(1+8%)^2 + PMT*(1+8%)
= PMT * Discount Factor ( 1-30 years) of 8%
$490,907 = PMT * 122.346
-> PMT = $490,907/ 122.346
= $4,012.45

Patterson makes electronic components for handheld games and has identified several activities as components of manufacturing overhead: factory rent, factory utilities, quality inspections, materials handling, machine setup, employee training, machine maintenance, inventory security costs, and supervisor salaries. For each activity that Patterson has identified, choose a cost driver to allocate that cost. Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
Factory Rent : No of days worked
Factory Utilities: Units of utility consumed
Quality Inspection : Hours of inspection on production run
Material Handling : No of orders received
Machine Setup : Machine hours
Employee Training : Hours worked
Machine Maintenance : Machine hours used
Inventory Security Costs : Finished goods units
Supervisor Salary : No of workers
Explanation:
A cost driver is unit of activity on which cost is allocated. Cost driver is considered as a direct cause of the cost. In ABC costing cost are allocated to the goods based on the cost drivers.

A semi-variable cost:
A. Increases and decreases directly and proportionately with changes in volume.
B. Changes in response to a change in volume, but not proportionately.
C. Increases if volume increases, but remains constant if volume decreases.
D. Changes inversely in response to a change in volume.
Answer:
B. Changes in response to a change in volume, but not proportionately.
Explanation:
A semi variable cost (or mixed cost) is a cost or expense that is partially fixed (does not change according to production output) and is also partially variable (changes according to production output). An example of semi variable costs are utilities which have a fixed minimum level per month and they increase as production output increases. Another example is the cost of a car, where insurance and lease payments are fixed but gas and maintenance expenses vary according to the number of miles driven.

You are an owner of a bakery, and you meet with other neighborhood bakery owners. In an attempt to increase sales, you collectively decide to lower prices by 10%. Which of the following are consequences of this price change?
A. The supply of fresh baked goods will decrease.
B. The quantity supplied of fresh baked goods will decrease.
C. Demand for processed baked goods will decrease.
D. The supply of fresh baked goods will increase.
E. The demand for fresh baked goods will not change.
F. The demand for fresh baked goods will increase.
Answer:
The quantity supplied of fresh baked goods will decrease ( B )
Demand for processed baked goods will decrease. ( C )
The demand for fresh baked goods will not change ( E )
Explanation:
When the neighbourhood bakery owners agree to lower prices of goods by 10% it will not have any effect on the demand for fresh baked goods hence the demand for fresh baked goods will not change because the demand for fresh baked goods have an in-elastic curve
Also since there is s drop in price the quantity supplied by the suppliers will decrease. while The demand for processed baked goods will decrease because of the substitute it has in fresh baked goods that just got its price slashed by 10%
Bonds often pay a coupon twice a year. For the valuation of bonds that make semiannual payments, the number of periods doubles, whereas the amount of cash flow decreases by half. Using the values of cash flows and number of periods, the valuation model is adjusted accordingly. Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with five years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:
Answer:
Value of treasury Note =$698,494.97
Explanation:
The value of the notes is the present value of the future cash inflows discounted at its YTM of 11%
Value of Notes = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of Note can be worked out as follows:
Step 1 :Calculate the PV of Interest payment
Present value of the interest payment
PV = Interest payment × (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
r-Yield to Maturity, n- number of years
Interest payment = 3% × $1,000,000 × 1/2= $15,000 .
Semi-annual interest yield = 11%/2 =5.5%
PV = 15,000 × (1 - (1.055)^(-5×2)/0.055) = 113,064.3874
Step 2 :PV of redemption Value
PV of RV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
= 1000,000 × (1.055)^(-5×2)
= 585,430.57
Step 3
Calculate Value of the Notes
=113,064.3874 + 585,430.57
= $698,494.96
Value of treasury Note =$698,494.97

Answer:
Production total cost= $104,400
It is more profitable to buy the product.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production costs (1,000 units):
Direct material $ 45,000
Direct labor $30,000
Factory overhead (30% is variable) 98,000
Buy:
1,000 units from an outside supplier for $100,000.
I will assume that the fixed overhead is not avoidable, therefore it should not be taken into account for the decision making.
Production total cost= 45,000 + 30,000 + (98,000*0.3)
Production total cost= $104,400
It is more profitable to buy the product.
Mr. Hobbes Bed & Breakfast is considering the replacement of some old equipment. The new equipment will cost $86,000 including delivery and installation. The old equipment to be replaced has a book value of $60,200 and can be sold pre-tax for $61,200. If the firm’s effective tax rate is 25%, compute the net investment.
Answer:
$25,550
Explanation:
For computing the net investment first we have to find out the loss or gain on sale of old equipment which is shown below:
Sale value = $61,200
Less: Book value of old equipment = $60,200
Gain = $1000
Now
Tax on gain is
= $1,000 × 25%
= $250
So, the net gain is
= $1,000 - $250
= $750
Now the net investment is
= Cost of new equipment - sale value pre tax + net gain
= $86,000 - $61,200 + $750
= $25,550
Answer:
Net Investment = $25,550
Explanation:
Given:
Sale value (old equipment) = $61,200
Book value of old equipment = $60,200
New equipment cost = $86,000
Effective tax rate = 25%
Computation
Gain on sale = $61,200 - $60,200
Gain on sale = $1,000
Amount of tax on gain = $1000 × 25%
Amount of tax on gain = $250
Net Gain = Gain on sale - Amount of tax on gain
Net Gain = $750
Net Investment = Cost of new equipment - (Sale value - Net Gain)
Net Investment = $86,200 - (61,200 - 750)
Net Investment = $25,550
The market for plywood is characterized by the following demand and supply equations: QD = 800 – 10P and QS = 50P – 1,000, where P is the price per sheet of plywood and Q measures the quantity of plywood. What is the size of the deadweight loss if the government imposes a price ceiling of $25 per sheet of plywood?
Answer: Dead weight loss-= $3750
Explanation:
QD = 800 – 10P
QS = 50P – 1,000,
At equilibrium, quantity demanded is equal to quantity supplied , so we have that, equating the two equations becomes
800 - 10p = 50p - 1000.
800 + 1000 = 50p + 10p
1800 = 60p
p = $30.
QD= QS= 800 - 10*30 = 500 units
QD= QS= 50x30 -1000= 500 units
Qd = Qs = 500 units.
When P = $25 by government putting a price ceiling, which is below the equilibrium price,it will lead to more demand than supply in the market
QD = 800 – 10P
QD= 800-10X25
QD=800-250= 550units
QS = 50P – 1,000,
Qs = 50 X25 - 1000
= 1,250-1000
QS = 250 units.
When quantity demanded =250units as a result of Quantity supplied at 250units. we will have our new price to be
QD = 800 – 10P
250 = 800 - 10p
10p = 800 -250
10p = 550
p = $55.
To calculate Dead weight Loss, we use the formulae,
0.5 x (P2 - P1) x (Q1 - Q2) where P1 and P2 are old and new prices and Q1 AND Q2 are old and new quantities
DWL = 0.5 x (55-25) X (500-250)
= 0.5 x 30x 250
Dead weight loss = $3750.
An end-of-aisle price promotion changes the price elasticity of a good from −2 to −3. Suppose the normal price is $34, which equates marginal revenue with marginal cost at the initial elasticity of –2. What should the promotional price be when the elasticity changes to –3? (Hint: In other words, what price will equate marginal revenue and marginal cost?)
Answer:
MC = $17
P = $25.5
Explanation:
We proceed as follows;
Firstly calculate MC when e = -2, where MR = MC
(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI
Here P = $34 and e = -2
(34 - MC) / 34= 1/ I-2I
(34 - MC) / 34= 1 / 2
78-2MC = 34
2MC = 34
MC = 34/2
MC = 17
Now, as we have MC, we will calculate the new price when e = -3
(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI
(P - 17) / P = 1 / I-3I
(P - 17) / P = 1 / 3
3P -51 = P
2P = 51
P = 51/2
P = 25.5

Kevin bought 265 shares of Intel stock on January 1, 2019, for $76 per share, with a brokerage fee of $165. Then, Kevin sells all 265 shares for $88 per share on December 12, 2019. The brokerage fee on the sale was $215. What is the amount of the gain/loss Kevin must report on his 2019 tax return
Answer:
$2800
Explanation:
To find the Gain or loss on the sell of shares we jus need to deduct cost of purchasing and brokerage fee from sale proceeds
12 DECEMBER 2019
Gain/loss = Sales proceeds- Total Cost to purchase - Cost to sell
Gain/loss= ($88 x 265) - $20,305 - $215
Gain/loss= $23,320 - $20,305 - $215
Gain/loss= $2800
WORKINGS
Purchase 1 Jan 2019
265shares x $76per share = $20,140
Total cost to purchase = $20,140 + $165(brokerage fee)
Total cost to purchase = $20,305
Cost to sell = $215(brokerage fee)

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 16,000/(40+25+15)= $200 per setup
Machining= 110,000/ (5,000 + 1,000 + 4,000= $11 per machine hour
Packing= 30,000/ (500 + 150 + 350)= $30 per order

D [1, 1, 0, 1, 0 ] [1, 2, 3, 2 ,1 ] [0,1,3,1,1]
Available = 3,2,x,2,3 ⇒ x has to be determined.
Now
consider x=1 then Available = 3,2,1,2,3
It can't satisfy A,B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 2
Consider x=2 then Available = 3,2,2,2,3
It can't satisfy B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 3
Thus
consider x=3 then Available = 3,2,3,2,3
It can't satisfy D since the minimum value of x among those is 5
Then
consider x=5 then Available = 3,2,5,2,3
It can satisfy A,B,C,D
Therefore, the minimum value of x is 5. So, that it leads to a safe state.

Summary balance sheet data for Greener Gardens Co. is shown below (in thousands of dollars). The company is in a highly seasonal business, and the data show its assets and liabilities at peak and off-peak seasons: Peak Off-Peak Cash $ 50 $ 30 Marketable securities 0 20 Accounts receivable 40 20 Inventories 100 50 Net fixed assets 500 500 Total assets $690 $620 Payables and accruals $ 30 $ 10 Short-term bank debt 50 0 Long-term debt 300 300 Common equity 310 310 Total claims $690 $620 From this data we may conclude that a. Without cash flow data, we cannot determine the aggressiveness or conservatism of the company's current asset financing policy. b. Greener Gardens' current asset financing policy calls for exactly matching asset and liability maturities. c. Greener Gardens' current asset financing policy is relatively aggressive; that is, the company finances some of its permanent assets with short-term discretionary debt. d. Without income statement data, we cannot determine the aggressiveness or conservatism of the company's current asset financing policy. e. Greener Gardens follows a relatively conservative approach to current asset financing; that is, some of its short-term needs are met by permanent capital.
Answer: E.) Greener Gardens follows a relatively conservative approach to current asset financing; that is, some of its short-term needs are met by permanent capital.
Explanation: From the data given above, it could be inferred that Greener gardens Co. due to the seasonal nature of its business takes a conservative and measured approach into financing its current asset such as cash, account receivables, inventory, short term liability or debt
using permanent capital in other to shore up running cost or fluctuation which could result due to low revenue during the off peak period and cut the company's spending on certain short term needs.
Answer:
The answer is E. Gardens follows a relatively conservative approach to current asset financing; that is, some of its short-term needs are met by permanent capital.
Explanation:
The current asset financing policy concentrates on determining the most appropriate method of financing both temporary and permanent current assets.
There are 3 types of working capital financing policy - matching, conservative and aggressive.
In conservative financing policy, a business is required to maintain high levels of current assets in relation to its sales so as to absorb any sudden changes in the sales and thus avoid disruption in the production plans.
Working capital equals total current asset minus total current liability.
For peak period:
Current assets:
Cash. $50
Marketable securities. -
Account receivables. $40
Inventories $100
Total current assets. $190
Current liabilities:
Payables and accruals. $30
Short term bank debt. $50
Total current liabilities. $80
Therefore, working capital is:
$190 - $80
=$110
So Greener Gardens co. has excess working capital to cover for any sudden change in price.
Also for off peak:
Current assets:
Cash. $30
Marketable securities. $20
Account receivables. $20
Inventories $50
Total current assets. $120
Current liabilities:
Payables and accruals. $10
Short term bank debt. -
Total current liabilities. $10
Therefore, working capital is:
$120 - $10
=$110
For both on peak and off peak, the working capital is the same, meaning it is maintain a conservative policy that is dependent on its assets for financing.
In October, Pine Company reports 21,000 actual direct labor hours, and it incurs $118,000 of manufacturing overhead costs. Standard hours allowed for the work done is 20,600 hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $6.00 per direct labor hour. Compute the total overhead variance.
Answer: $5,600 Favorable
Explanation:
Total Overhead Variance is a method of measuring if the company is spending more than it is supposed to on overhead. It checks this by computing the difference between the Actual Overhead spent and the Budgeted/ Standard Overhead that it was supposed to spend.
If the Actual Overhead is more than the Standard Overhead the Variance is Negative, if the reverse is true then the Variance is Positive.
The formula for the Variance given the details in the question is,
Total Overhead Variance = Standard total Overhead - Actual Overhead
= (Standard hours * Pre-determined Overhead rate) - Actual Hours
= ( 20,600 * 6) - 118,000
= 123,600 - 118,000
= $5,600
The Standard Total Overhead is more than the Actual Total Overhead so the Variance is Positive as Pine Company spent less than it thought it would.
Playful Pens, Inc., makes a single model of a pen. The cartridge for the pen (which contains the ink) is manufactured on one machine. The cartridge holder (which you hold when you use the pen)is manufactured on another machine. Monthly capacities and production levels are as follows:
Machine 1 (Cartridge) Machine 2 (Holders)
Monthly capacity 1,000,000 800,000
Monthly production 800,000 800,000
The company could sell 1,000,000 pens per month. The units (cartridge inside of holder) sell for $10.40 each and have a variable cost of $4.10 each. Fixed costs are $4,200,000 per month.
Required:
a. Is there a bottleneck at Playful Pens on Machine 1 or Machine 2?
A. Machine 1
B. Machine 2
b. Playful Pens's production supervisors state they could increase machine 2's capacity by 200,000 per month by producing holders on the weekend. Producing on the weekend would not affect the sales price. Variable cost per unit would increase by $1.10 for those produced on the weekend because of the premium paid to labor. Fixed costs would also increase by $820,000 per month.
b-1. Calculate the differential operating profit (loss). (Losses and amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)

b-2. Should Playful Pens produce holders on the weekend?
Yes
No
c. Independent of the situation in requirement (b), Playful Pens could expand the capability of machine 2 by adding additional workers to perform ongoing maintenance. This would increase its capacity by 100,000 holders per month. This would not affect sales price or fixed costs, but would increase variable cost to $4.62 per unit for all units produced.
c-1. Calculate the differential operating profit (loss). (Losses and amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)

Yes
No
Answer:
a) B. Machine 2
b) $220,000
b-2) Yes , positive differential profit.
c-1) $162,000
c-2) Yes , positive differential profit.
Explanation:
B) Differential revenues = $10.40 x 200,000 = $2,080,000
Differential costs:
Variable cost on new production = $5.20 x 200,000 = $1,040,000
Fixed costs = $820,000
differential profit = $2,080,000 - $1,040,000 - $820,000 = $220,000
c) Differential revenues = $10.40 x 100,000 = $1,040,000
Differential costs:
Variable cost increase on current production = ($4.62 - $4.10) x 800,000 = $416,000
Variable cost on new production = $4.62 x 100,000 = $462,000
differential profit = $1,040,000 - $878,000 = $162,000

The road was completed in 2023. Information related to the contract is as follows: 2021 2022 2023 Cost incurred during the year $ 2,542,000 $ 3,772,000 $ 2,074,600 Estimated costs to complete as of year-end 5,658,000 1,886,000 0 Billings during the year 2,020,000 4,294,000 3,686,000 Cash collections during the year 1,810,000 3,800,000 4,390,000 Westgate recognizes revenue over time according to percentage of completion. 5. Calculate the amount of revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized in each of the three years assuming the following costs incurred and costs to complete information. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. Loss amounts should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of amount of revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized in each of the three years is shown below:-
Sales revenue for the present period for 2021 = $31,00,000.00
Sales revenue for the present period for 2022 = $46,00,000.00
Sales revenue for the present period for 2023 = $23,00,000.00
Gross Profit for year 2021 = $5,58,000.00
Gross profit for year 2022 = $8,28,000.00
Gross profit for year 2023 = $2,25,400.00
To reach the sales revenue we simply deduct the Sales revenue recognized in previous period from Sales revenue recognized till date for 3 years on the other hand to compute the gross profit we simply deduct the Cost incurred during the year from Sales revenue for the present period for 3 years.
For clarification we attached the spreadsheet to reach the sales revenue and gross profit for 3 years.
Suppose there are 11 buyers and 11 sellers, each willing to buy or sell one unit of a good, with values {$14, $13, $12, $11, $10, $9, $8, $7, $6, $5, $4,}. Assume no transaction costs and a competitive market. If there is a market maker in this market. What is the profit maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker? a. $9 bid; $9 ask b. $6 bid; $12 ask c. $8 bid; $10 ask d. $7 bid; $11 ask
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question given; The objective here is to determine the profit maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker. In order to achieve that; The demand supply schedule of the number of units bought and sold need to be computed which is shown in the table below.
Price Quantity demanded by buyers Quantity sold by sellers
$14 1 11
$13 2 10
$12 3 9
$11 4 8
$10 5 7
$9 6 6
$8 7 5
$7 8 4
$6 9 3
$5 10 2
$4 11 1
However; As the two transactions are happening simultaneously; There are 11 people participating in buying of a good and selling from one person to the other.
But the maximum even number of people that can be part of this trade is only 10 people.
So; for the individual having an higher value for the good will be able to afford it and which are those that falls into the category of $14,$13,$12,$11,$10,$9 can place bid for the good.
On the other hand, the individual having a lower value for the good will sell it and which are those that falls into the category of $4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9 and would want to sell it for the ask price of the good.
In this trend, we understand that the individual valuing the good for $9 won't be able to participate due to the fact that He appears on both trends because in the demand side , he have the lowest willingness to pay and at the seller's side he has the the highest value for the good and that the equilibrium price in this market is $ 9 because at this price the quantity demanded equals quantity supplied .
Thus; we can conclude that there are 5 transactions in the maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker.
Suppose that a labor economist performs a statistical analysis on economywide worker wages using standard, measurable explanatory factors, such as job characteristics, years of schooling, and so forth. How much of the variation in worker wages can be accounted for by such measurable explanatory factors
Answer: Somewhat less than 50%
Explanation:
Here is the complete question;
Suppose that a labor economist performs a statistical analysis on economywide worker wages using standard, measurable explanatory factors, such as job characteristics, years of schooling, and so forth. How much of the variation in worker wages can be accounted for by such measurable explanatory factors?
a. Somewhat less than 50%.
b. Somewhat more than 60%
c. Nearly 100%
d. About 0%?
The variables which are typically removed from the quantitative analysis of wages are those which cannot be directly measured, directly observed or normative in nature.
Chance plays a vital role in deciding ones wage, the type of job one applies for and gets, and the salary that can be gotten. Chance cannot neither be measured nor observed. Natural ability cannot also be quantified, observed or measured. These variables are also subject to normative judgement.
Based on this analysis, the measurable traits will account for less than 50% of total variation in the wages.

In the long-run, a company will choose a manufacturing plant size that has the Multiple Choice minimum average total cost of producing the target level of output. maximum level of resource use per unit of the total product of output. capacity to produce the largest quantity of the product. minimum of average fixed costs.
Answer:
minimum average total cost of producing the target level of output.
Explanation:
Firms will always seek a profit maximizing output. This means that they will choose a manufacturing plant that allows them to sell more units while keeping the lowest possible marginal costs. This means that they will focus on choosing a production level that minimizes the average total cost for a certain amount of expected production.
