Answer: Risk Report
Explanation:
A Risk Report for a project contains all the risk that the project is exposed to. This includes both project risk as well as individual risks related to the components projects in the overall project.
A Risk Report details the risks such as Supplier failure, Inflation, Pending Government Regulations and the like. It then takes these and summarizes them for presentation to those who require this information in the company so that appropriate safeguards may be set up and precautions taken.
This describes the first document and so should be what the Project Manager names it.
In January 2017, Crane Company, a newly formed company, issued 9500 shares of its $8 par common stock for $13 per share. On July 1, 2017, Crane Company reacquired 950 shares of its outstanding stock for $10 per share. The acquisition of these treasury sharesa. increased total stockholders' equity.b. decreased the number of issued shares.c. decreased total stockholders' equity.d. did not change total stockholders' equity.
Answer:
The correct option is C, decreased total stockholders' equity
Explanation:
By reacquiring 950 shares out of the issued shares of 9,500 shares ,the company takes possession of the 950 shares and give cash to stockholders in return for the shares repossessed.
As a result the total stockholders' equity would reduce, this is usually accounted for by deducting the cost of such repurchase from total stockholders' equity in the equity section of the balance sheet
A firm's average cost increases as it increases its output by expanding its plant and hiring additional workers (its only inputs to production). The firm's owner blames the increase in per-unit costs on the law of diminishing marginal productivity. The owner's reasoning is: A. correct because some inputs are fixed in the long run. B. incorrect because economies of scale are present. C. correct because marginal productivity must decrease in the short run. D. incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example.
Answer: D. incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example.
Explanation: While marginal productivity describes the extra output, or return, or profit gotten per unit by benefits from the production inputs of a company, the law of diminishing marginal productivity is one that recognizes that the quantity of all inputs of production cannot be changed at one time. The owner's reasoning of attributing the increase in per-unit costs on the law of diminishing marginal productivity is incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example. Marginal productivity eventually declines because some inputs are fixed, but however, in the long run where no inputs are fixed, the law does not apply.

Barton Chocolates used a promissory note to borrow $1,000,000 on July 1, 2018, at an annual interest rate of 6 percent. The note is to be repaid in yearly installments of $200,000, plus accrued interest, on June 30 of every year until the note is paid in full (on June 30, 2023). Show how the results of this transaction would be reported in a classified balance sheet prepared as of December 31, 2018. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Explanation:
Balance sheet for Barton Chocolates as at December 31,2018
Current liabilities 230,000
Non current liabilities 800,000
Workings.
Loan - $1,000,000
Loan date = July 1
Reporting date = December 31
Timeline = 6 months / 1/2 years
Yearly installment = $200,000
Interest payable = 6/100*1000000*1/2 = 30,000
Current liabilities are liabilities that are due for settlement within a year
Therefore the current liability portion = $200000+30000= $230,000
The non current liability is the balance of the principal loan amount = 1000000=200000= 800000

Explanation:
Adjusting entries are journal entries that are made at the end of an accounting period to ensure that all expenses and incomes pertaining to the period are recognized in accordance with the accrual concept and the matching principle. These accounting concepts require that all expenses incurred whether paid for or not and income whether received or not, which relate to the period, are matched respectively.
Assume that Kish Inc. hired you as a consultant to help estimate its cost of capital. You have obtained the following data: D0 = $0.90; P0 = $27.50; and g = 7.00% (constant). Based on the DCF approach, what is the cost of equity from retained earnings?
Answer:
The cost of equity from retained earnings based on the DCF approach is 10.50%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the cost of equity from retained earnings based on the DCF approach we would have to calculate the following formula:
Cost of Equity = (D1/P0) + growth rate
Cost of Equity =[($0.9 x 1.07)/$27.50] + 0.07
Cost of Equity = 0.1050
Cost of Equity =10.50%
Therefore, The cost of equity from retained earnings based on the DCF approach is 10.50%
A company started the year with the following: Assets $121,000; Liabilities $41,500; Common Stock $71,500; Retained Earnings $8,000. During the year, the company earned revenue of $6,400, all of which was received in cash, and incurred expenses of $3,700, all of which were unpaid as of the end of the year. In addition, the company paid dividends of $2,400 to owners. Assume no other activities occurred during the year. The amount of liabilities at the end of the year is
Answer:
$45,200
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:
Liabilities = $41,500
Expense incurred during year = $3,700
So, we can calculate the total amount of liabilities by using the following formula:
Liabilities at the end of the year = Liabilities + Expense incurred
Liabilities at the end of the year = $41,500 + $3,700
= $45,200
The graph shows excess demand. A graph titled Excess supply has quantity on the x-axis and price on the y-axis. A line with positive slope represents supply and a line with negative slope represents demand. The lines intersect at the point of equilibrium (p star, Q star). A point on the demand line is (P 2, quantity demanded) and a point on the supply line is (P 2, quantity supplied). Both points are lower than the point of equilibrium. Excess demand is indicated between the 2 points. Which needs to happen in order to stop disequilibrium from occurring? Q needs to be coordinated with supply. Q needs to be coordinated with demand. The price of goods needs to be increased. The price of goods needs to be decreased.
Answer:
The price of goods needs to be increased.
Explanation:
Excess demand occurs when the quantity demanded is higher than the quantity supplied. This happens when the price of the good is lower than the equilibrium price. This can happen naturally in the market, or can happen if the government imposes a binding price floor.
The best way to solve excess demand is to raise the price, in order to reach equilibrium. Once in equilibrium, the price will coordinate the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded so that they're roughly equal.
Association between the number of goods the producers wants to sell at a specific value to that of quantity the purchaser wants to buy is called demand and supply.
The correct answer is:
Option C. The cost of goods needs to be raised.
This can be explained as:
When there is more need for the product than it is supplied or created is excess demand.This problem arises when the value of the goods and commodities is lower.This can arise intrinsically or due to any trade or governmental policies.The excess demand can be solved by increasing the price of the product.Therefore, the price of the goods should be increased.

Alyeska Services Company, a division of a major oil company, provides various services to the operators of the North Slope oil field in Alaska. Data concerning the most recent year appear below:
Sales $17,600,000
Net operating income $6,200,000
Average operating assets $36,000,000
Required:
a. Compute the margin for Alyeska Services Company.
b. Compute the turnover for Alyeska Services Company.
c. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for Alyeska Services Company.
Answer:
a. The margin for Alyeska Services Company: 35.23%
b. The turnover for Alyeska Services Company: 0.49
c. The return on investment (ROI) for Alyeska Services Company: 17.22%
Explanation:
a. The profit margin reflects a company's overall ability to turn income into profit, is calculated by formula:
Profit margin = (Net operating income/Net sales ) x 100% = $6,200,000/$17,600,000 x 100% = 35.23%
b. Asset turnover helps investors understand how effectively companies are using their assets to generate sales. Asset turnover is calculated by using following formula:
Asset Turnover = Total Sales/ Average Total Assets = $17,600,000/$36,000,000 = 0.49
c. Return on investment (ROI) is calculated by using following formula:
ROI = Net income/Total investment x 100%
In Alyeska Services Company,
ROI = Net operating income/Average operating assets x 100% = $6,200,000/$36,000,000 x 100% = 17.22%
A shoe manufacturer is producing at a point where its marginal costs are $5 and its fixed costs are $5000. At the current price of $10 it is producing 500 pairs. If the demand goes down, such that they can now only charge $8 per pair, should they continue production in the short run?
Answer:
In a short time, as long as the product line can be sold with a positive contribution margin, the company should continue selling it.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
UNitary variable cost= $5
Fixed costs are $5000.
Sales= 500 units
Selling price= $8
First, we need to calculate the current income:
Income= 500*(8-5) - 5000= -$3,500
In a short time, as long as the product line can be sold with a positive contribution margin, the company should continue selling it. Demand can increase and income could become positive.

Recall that:
Christie and Jergens created a partnership with capital contributions of = $250,000 and $350,000
The contract terms enables Christie to receive an amount of = $55,000 per salary
An interest allowance is received by both of them equal to =10%
The net income of the Present year = $119,000
Thus,
We find the respective shares of both partners which is stated as follows :
Christie's net income = $59,500
Jergen's net income = $59, 500
The total for both is =$119,000
Hence, due to their partnership contract terms or agreement the sharing of the profit and loss is dividend equally between them.
On January 1, Year 1, the City Taxi Company purchased a new taxi cab for $51,000. The cab has an expected salvage value of $12,000. The company estimates that the cab will be driven 200,000 miles over its life. It uses the units-of-production method to determine depreciation expense. The cab was driven 60,000 miles the first year and 63,000 the second year. What is the amount of depreciation expense reported on the Year 2 income statement and the book value of the taxi at the end of Year 2, respectively
Answer:
The amount of depreciation expense reported on the Year 2 is $12,285 and the book value of the taxi at the end of Year 2 is $27,015
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount of depreciation expense reported on the Year 2 income statement and the book value of the taxi at the end of Year 2, respectively we would have to make the following calculations:
Particulars Amount
Cost of taxi $51,000.00
Salvage Value $12,000.00
Life in miles 200,000.00
Depreciation per mile = ($51,000.00 - $12,000.00 )/200,000=0.195
Depreciation for Year 1 = 60,000 * 0.195=11,700.00
Depreciation for Year 2 = 63,000 * 0.195=12,285.00
book value of the taxi, respectively, at the end of Year 2 = 51,000 - 11,700 - 12,285=27,015.00
The amount of depreciation expense reported on the Year 2 is $12,285 and the book value of the taxi at the end of Year 2 is $27,015
Bond X is noncallable and has 20 years to maturity, a 9% annual coupon, and a $1,000 par value. Your required return on Bond X is 8%; if you buy it, you plan to hold it for 5 years. You (and the market) have expectations that in 5 years, the yield to maturity on a 15-year bond with similar risk will be 8.5%. How much should you be willing to pay for Bond X today
Answer:
$954.54
Explanation:
The price of the bond today is the present value of the promised cash inflows of coupon payment and repayment of face value which is computed using fv formula in excel below:
Price in 5 years time:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is 8.5% in 5 years' time
nper is 15 years in 5 years' time
pmt is the annual coupon=$1000*9%=$$90
fv is the face value of $1000
=-pv(8.5%,15,90,1000)=$ 1,041.52
Price today:
=-pv(8%,20,90,1,041.52)=$954.54
Venus Creations sells window treatments (shades, blinds, and awnings) to both commercial and residential customers. The following information relates to its budgeted operations for the current year.
Commercial Residential
Revenues $300,000 $480,000
Direct materials costs $30,000 $50,000
Direct labor costs 100,000 300,000
Overhead costs 85,000 215,000 150,000 500,000
Operating income (loss) $85,000 $(20,000)
The controller, Peggy Kingman, is concerned about the residential product line. She cannot understand why this line is not more profitable given that the installations of window coverings are less complex for residential customers. In addition, the residential client base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel costs are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers. As a result, she has decided to take a closer look at the overhead costs assigned to the two product lines to determine whether a more accurate product costing model can be developed. Here are the three activity cost pools and related information she developed:
Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Cost Drivers
Scheduling and travel $85,000 Hours of travel
Setup time 90,000 Number of setups
Supervision 60,000 Direct labor cost
Expected Use of Cost Drivers per Product
Commercial Residential
Scheduling and travel 750 500
Setup time 350 250
What should Peggy Kingman do?
Answer and Explanation:
The explanation is shown below:-
First we need to find out the activity based overhead rates
Activity Estimated overhead Basis Quantity Activity based
cost overhead rates
Travel
and Scheduling $85,000 Hours of 1,250 $68
travel (700 + 500)
Set up time $90,000 Number of 600 $150
setups (350 + 250)
Supervision $60,000 Direct labor $400,000 15%
cost ($100,000 + $300,000)
Now we need to find out the overhead cost assigned to commercial which is shown below:-
Activity Activity based Actual allocation of Overhead
overhead rates cost drivers assigned
Travel and
Scheduling $68 750 $51,000
Set up time $150 350 $52,500
Supervision 15% $100,000 $15,000
Total $118,500
For computing the overhead assigned we simply multiply the activity based overhead rate with actual allocation of cost drivers.
after this we need to find out the overhead cost assigned to residential which is shown below:-
Activity Activity based Actual allocation of Overhead
overhead rates cost drivers
Travel and
Scheduling $68 500 $34,000
Set up time $150 250 $37,500
Supervision 15% $300,000 $45,000
Total $116,500
For computing the overhead we simply multiply the activity based overhead rate with actual allocation of cost drivers.
Finally we need to find out the operating income or loss for the commercial and residual which is shown below:-
Particulars Commercial Residential
Sales revenue $300,000 $480,000
Less: Direct material cost $30,000 $50,000
Less: Direct labor cost $100,000 $300,000
Less: Overhead costs
assigned $118,500 $116,500
Operating income (loss) $51,500 $15,500
The Peggy Kingman should establish the cost to be assigned based on the product lines for overhead cost as the Peggy Kingman is more focused to the overhead cost which were based on the activity cost drivers. Moreover, it shows a profit earned on residential product line
Gelb Company currently manufactures 53,500 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $2.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $67,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $64,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.50 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 53,500 units and buying 53,500 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the total incremental cost is shown below;
For making 53,500 units
Particulars Relevant Relevant Total
Per Unit Fixed Costs Relevant Costs
Variable Cost
Per Unit $2.95 $157,825
(53,500 units × $2.95)

Price
Per Unit $3.50 $187,250
(53,500 units × $3.50)
Total Incremental Cost to Buy $187,250
The company should buy the component from the outside supplier as it saves the cost for ($224,825 - $187,250) = $37,575 plus the buying cost is less than the making cost
. Suppose Stevie'sStevie's expectation to sell one standard scooter for every three chrome scooters was incorrect and for every four scooters sold two are standard scooters and two are chrome scooters. Will the breakeven point of total scooters increase or decrease? Why? (Calculation not required.)
Answer:
It depends upon the contribution per unit of each product or in other words it depends on composite contribution per unit.
Explanation:
The composition matters a lot because of the fact that every product has its own contribution per unit. So if the product chrome has $1 contribution per unit and standard scooter has $2 contribution per unit. Also suppose that $6 is the total fixed cost. Then the priority to sell must be standard scooter, because it has higher contribution. Secondly if we only sell chrome scooters then total 6 ($6 fixed cost - 6 units * $1 contribution per unit) units must be sold and if we only sell standard scooters then only 3 ($6 fixed cost - 3 units * $2 contribution per unit) units must be sold to breakeven. Suppose, if we reduce standard scooters from 3 scooters to 2 units ($6 fixed cost - 2 units * $2 contribution per unit) then their will be loss of $2 which can be reduced to zero by selling 2 chrome scooters ($2 loss - 2 units * $1 contribution per unit).
So this is how contribution per unit affects the composite breakeven units and most important thing is that if the composite contribution per unit has increased then the breakeven units will decrease and vice versa.
Each week your supervisor holds a meeting in which he invites you and all the other employees to give feedback regarding current projects. According to path-goal theory, which behavior best describes your supervisor?
1. Supportive
2. Directive
3. Participative
4. Achievement oriented
Answer:
The correct answer is the third option: Participative.
Explanation:
To begin with, the path-goal theory refers to leadership theory developed by Robert House in 1971 and whose main focus is on the behavior that a leader has among its followers and states that the behavior that he has will influece the satisfaction, motivation and performance of his followers.
Secondly, the theory states that there are four behaviors and one of them is the partcipative behavior whose characteristics are that the leader tends to consult with followers and ask for their suggestion before making a final decision and that is why the best behavior that describes correctly to the supervisor is the participative.
Thomas Company uses a standard cost system. Information for raw materials for Product RBI for the month of October follows: Standard unit price $1.75 Actual purchase price per unit $1.65 Actual quantity purchased 4,000 units Actual quantity used 3,900 units Standard quantity allowed for actual production 3,800 units What is the materials purchase price variance
Answer:
Material price variance = $400
Explanation:
A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. A favorable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite.
It is is computed as follows:
The material price variance
$
4000 units should have cost (4,000× 1.75) = 7,000
but did cost - actual cost (4,000× $1.65) = 6,600
Material price variance 400 favorable
Material price variance = $400
Tedd E. Bear has an annual salary of $48,000 with no other loans outstanding. Using the 25% guideline from class and with a 20% down payment, how expensive of a home can Tedd purchase using a 4%, 30 year mortgage
Answer:
The total loan value would be of $261,825
Explanation:
In order to calculate how expensive of a home can Tedd purchase using a 4%, 30 year mortgage we would have to calculate first the amount of annual payments as follows:
amount of annual payments = $48,000*0.25 = $12,000
PMT = 12,000/12 = 1000
FV = 0
rate = 4%/12
N = 30*12
Hence, use FV function in Excel amount after down payment = $209,461.24
this represents 80% of the loan , so total loan value = $209,461.24/0.8 = $261,825
The total loan value would be of $261,825
The total loan amount is $261,825.
The calculation is as follows:Amount of annual payments = 25% of $48,000 = $12,000
PMT = 12,000 ÷ 12 = $1,000
FV = $0
Rate = 4% ÷ 12 = 0.333%
N = 30 × 12 = 360
Here we have to apply the FV function in the excel.
So,
Amount after downpayment = 209,461.24
The above amount represents 80% of the loan
Now
Total loan value is
= $209,461.24 ÷ 0.8
= $261,825

Answer:
Helix decision would be to accept this order at the special price because from the calculations they will still have a net income of $2,000 at this special price of $6 per unit
Explanation:
Selling price: at $6 per unit; This is a relevant cost ; Revenue = ($6*2000) units) $12,000
_________________________
Direct material cost: at $1 per unit; This is a relevant cost; Revenue = (1 * 2000) $2000
____________________________
Direct labor cost: at $2 per unit; This is a relevant cost ; Revenue = (2 * 2000) $4000
____________________________
Variable manufacturing overhead: at $1.50 per unit; This is a relevant cost; Revenue = (1.50 * 2000) $3,000
____________________________
Fixed manufacturing overhead: at $0.75 per unif; This is not a relevant cost; Revenue = $0 (not relevant)
_____________________________
Regular selling expenses: at $1.25 per unit; This is not a relevant cost; Revenue = $0(not relevant)
______________________________
Additional selling expenses(shipping cost) : at $0.50 per unit; This is a relevant cost; Revenue = (0.50 * 2000) $1,000
______________________________
Administrative expenses: at $0.75 per unit; This is not a relevant cost; Revenue = $0
__________________________
Total operating expenses: Sum of all relevant cost = (Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Variable manufacturing overhead + Additional selling expenses) = ($2,000 + $4,000 + $3,000 + $1,000) = $10,000
__________________________
Net income : (Selling price - Total operating expenses)= ($12,000 - $10,000) = $2,000

The Callie Company has provided the following information: Operating expenses were $244,000; Cost of goods sold was $378,000; Net sales were $940,000; Interest expense was $47,000; Gain on sale of a building was $84,000; Income tax expense was $142,000. What was Callie's gross profit
Answer:
Callie's Gross Profit is $562000
Explanation:
Gross profit is the profit earned by a business after deducting the costs associated with producing or selling its goods (for manufacturing and trading businesses) or the costs associated with providing the services (for service businesses) from the net revenue.
It is the profit from the trading section of the business before deducting the operating and financing expenses of the business and before adding any other income.
The gross profit is simply calculated as follows,
Gross Profit = Net Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold
Callie's gross profit = 940000 - 378000
Callie's Gross Profit = 562000
A company plans to replace one of its machines 5 years from now. If they deposit $6,827 a month in an account that gives them 0.65% interest per month. How much money will they still need to pay for the machine if the cost is $1,123,553 at that time in the future?
Answer:
They would require $624,532.94 more
Explanation:
The first task is to compute the future value of the monthly deposit of $6,827 with an interest of 0.65% per month for five years.
=fv(rate,nper,-pmt,pv)
rate id 0.65% per month
nper is the number of deposits =5 years*12=60
pmt is the monthly deposit of $6,827
pv is the present value of deposits,it is unknown and taken as zero
=fv(0.65%,60,-6827,0)=$499,020.06
balance of the required funds=required funds-future value of the deposits
balance of required funds= $1,123,553-$499,020.06=$624,532.94
Abe and Bea each have some money to invest in a CD (Certificate of Deposit). Abe has $5,000 and Bea has $20,000. Both are interested in making a 6-month investment at Synchrony Bank. The CD rates for Synchrony Bank (as of July 8, 2015) are as listed below. With 0.41% interest, Abe would get $5,010 in six months. With 0.50% interest, Bea would get $20,050 at the end of six months. If they pool their funds, they will be able to purchase a $25,000 CD, which pays a higher interest rate. The 0.60% interest will return $25,075 at the end of six months. Obviously, Abe gets back his $5,000 principle, and Bea gets back her $20,000 principle. How should the $75 interest be divided between the two of them
Answer:
Abe = $17.5
Bae = $57.5
Explanation:
Abe's principle = $5,000
Bea's principle = $ 20,000
Abe individual investment yield at 0.41% = (5010-5000) = $10
Bae's individual investment yield at ) 0.50%= (20000-20050) $50
Combined investment yield at 6 % = (25,075 - (20,000+5000) = $75
Extra interest yield = (75-(50+10) = $15
The extra interest yield of $15 should be shared equally among Abe and Bae as a result of joint effort
= 15/2 - $7.5
Therefore , the $75 interest is shared as below
Abe = $10 (interest on individual principle)+$7.5 = $17.5
Bae = $50 (interest on individual principle)+$7.5 = $57.5
Suppose your employer offers you a choice between a $ 4 comma 600 bonus and 200 shares of the company stock. Whichever one you choose will be awarded today. The stock is currently trading for $ 64 per share. Ignore transaction costs. a. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you choose? What is its value? b. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus now? What will your decision depend on?
Answer:
a. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you choose? What is its value?
I would choose the stock bonus because the current market price = 200 x $64 = $12,800 which is much higher than $4,600 (cash bonus)
b. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus now? What will your decision depend on?
Even if you are required to hold the stock for one year, the price difference with the cash bonus is too great = ($12,800 - $4,600) / $4,600 = 178% higher. Since you are employed by the company, you should know if the company is doing well or not, and the probable future stock price.
Only if something catastrophic happened to the company would make the cash bonus more attractive.
An ordinary annuity selling at $14,130.15 today promises to make equal payments at the end of each year for the next twelve years (N). If the annuity’s appropriate interest rate (IN) remains at 8.00% during this time, the annual annuity payment (PMT) will be
Answer:
PMT = $1875.00
Explanation:
The annuity refers to a series of fixed payments made after an equal interval of time and for a definite time period. The formula for the present value of annuity is,
For ordinary annuity
PV of annuity = PMT * [(1 - (1+IN)^-n) / IN]
Plugging in the values for the available variables. We calculate the PMT to be,
14130.15 = PMT * [(1 - (1+0.08)^-12) / 0.08]
14130.15 = PMT * 7.536078017
14130.15 / 7.536078017 = PMT
PMT = $1875.000493 rounded off to $1875.00
You are an international shrimp trader. A food producer in the Czech Republic offers to pay you 2.3 million Czech koruna today in exchange for a year's supply of frozen shrimp. Your Thai supplier will provide you with the same supply for 2.8 million Thai baht today. If the current competitive market exchange rates are 25.49 koruna per dollar and 39.31 baht per dollar, what is the value of this deal?
Answer:
$19,002.77
Explanation:
The computation of the value of deal is shown below:
The value of the deal = Sales revenue - purchase cost
where,
Sales revenue is
= 2,300,000 ÷ 25.49 koruna per dollar
= $90,231.46
And, the purchase cost is
= 2,800,000 ÷ 39.31 baht per dollar
= $71,228.69
So, the value of the deal is
= $90,231.46 - $71,228.69
= $19,002.77
hence, the value of the deal is $19,002.77
Consider each of the following independent scenarios:a.Terrin Belson, plant manager for the laser printer factory of Compugear Inc., brushed his hair back and sighed. December had been a bad month. Two machines had broken down, and some factory production workers (all on salary) were idled for part of the month. Materials prices increased, and insurance premiums on the factory increased. No way out of it; costs were going up. He hoped that the marketing vice president would be able to push through some price increases, but that really wasn’t his department.b. Joanna Pauly was delighted to see that her ROI figures had increased for the third straight year. She was sure that her campaign to lower costs and use machinery more efficiently (enabling her factories to sell several older machines) was the reason why. Joanna planned to take full credit for the improvements at her semiannual performance review.c. Gil Rodriguez, sales manager for ComputerWorks, was not pleased with a memo from headquarters detailing the recent cost increases for the laser printer line. Headquarters suggested raising prices. "Great," thought Gil, "an increase in price will kill sales and revenue will go down. Why can’t the plant shape up and cut costs like every other company in America is doing? Why turn this into my problem?"d. Susan Whitehorse looked at the quarterly profit and loss statement with disgust. Revenue was down, and cost was up—what a combination! Then she had an idea. If she cut back on maintenance of equipment and let a product engineer go, expenses would decrease—perhaps enough to reverse the trend in income.e. Shonna Lowry had just been hired to improve the fortunes of the Southern Division of ABC Inc. She met with top staff and hammered out a 3-year plan to improve the situation. A centerpiece of the plan is the retiring of obsolete equipment and the purchasing of state-of-the-art, computer-assisted machinery. The new machinery would take time for the workers to learn to use, but once that was done, waste would be virtually eliminated.Required:For each of the above independent scenarios, indicate the type of responsibility center involved (cost, revenue, profit, or investment).
Answer: a. Cost center b. Investment center. c. Revenue center d. Profit center. d. Investment center.
Explanation:
a. Cost center
We are informed that Terrin Belson, a plant manager for the laser printer factory of Compugear Inc., complained that two machines had broken down, and some factory production workers were idled for part of the month. He also complained that materials prices has and insurance premiums on the factory has increased and costs were going up.
The responsibility center involved here is the cost center. Everything he was complaining about was with regards to the rise on costs of running the company. Therefore, the cost center should be in charge.
b. Investment center
We are told that Joanna Pauly was delighted to see that her ROI figures had increased for the third straight year as she was sure that her campaign to lower costs and efficiently use of machinery was the reason for this.
This is the responsibility of the investment center. We can see that Joanna is talking about the increase in the return on investment. Therefore, the investment center should be responsible to handle this.
c. Revenue center
From the information, we are told that Gil Rodriguez, sales manager for ComputerWorks, was not pleased with a memo from headquarters detailing recent cost increases for the laser printer line. The headquarters suggested that increase in prices will kill sales and that the revenue will go down.
The responsibility center involved in this situation is the revenue center. We can see that the headquarters was concerned that the increase will in price will affect revenue as the revenue will reduce. This is the revenue center in charge.
d. Profit center
We are told that Susan Whitehorse looked at the quarterly profit and loss statement with disgust as the revenue was down, and the cost was up. The responsibility center in charge here is the profit center as the main issue of discussion is about the profit and loss of the company.
e. Investment center
We are told that Shonna Lowry had just been hired to improve the fortunes of the Southern Division of ABC Inc. and that after meeting with top staff, she gave out a 3-year plan to improve the situation as obsolete equipment will be retired and the state-of-the-art, computer-assisted machinery will be bought.
This is an investment because she told the firm to buy state-of-the-art, computer-assisted machinery will be bought in order to improve their fortunes. The responsibility center involved is the investment center.
A company's beginning Work in Process inventory consisted of 21,500 units that were 20% complete with respect to direct labor. These beginning units were completed and another 92,400 units were started during the current period. Of those started, 61,500 were finished and the remaining 30,900 were 40% complete at the end of the period. Using the weighted-average method, the equivalent units of production with regard to direct labor were:
Answer:95,360 units.
Explanation:The equivalent unit of production shows the quantity of work done by a manufacturing company on units of output partially completed at the end of a period.
Equivalent units of production =Units completed(work n progress at beginning + finished goods)+Ending work in progess
=(21,500+61, 500)+(30,900×40%)
=83,000 + 12,360
=95,360 units.
The equivalent units of production for conversion is 95,000 units.
