A retail store had sales of $44,900 in April and $55,000 in May. The store employs eight full-time workers who work a 40-hour week. In April the store also had eight part-time workers at 12 hours per week, and in May the store had eleven part-timers at 17 hours per week (assume four weeks in each month). Using sales dollars as the measure of output, what is the percentage change in productivity (dollars output per labor hour) from April to May

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.52%

Explanation:

Productivity in April = $44,900 / (((8*40) + (8*12)) * 4)

Productivity in April = $44,900 / ((320 + 96) * 4)

Productivity in April = $44,900 / (416 * 4)

Productivity in April = $44,900 / 1664 hours

Productivity in April = $26.98 per hour

Productivity in May = $55,000 / (((8*40) + (11*17)) * 4)

Productivity in May = $55,000 / ((320 + 187) * 4)

Productivity in May = $55,000 / (507 * 4)

Productivity in May = $55,000 / 2028 hours

Productivity in May = $27.12 per hour

% increase in productivity per hour = ($27.12 - $26.98) / $26.98

% increase in productivity per hour = $0.14 / $26.98

% increase in productivity per hour = 0.0052

% increase in productivity per hour = 0.52%

Otobai Motor Company just paid a dividend of $1.40. Analysts expect its dividend to grow at a rate of 18 percent for the next three years and then a constant rate of 5 percent thereafter. What is the expected dividend per share at the end of year 5?
a. $2.35.
b. $2.54.
c. $2.91.
d. $1.50.

Answers

Answer:

b. $2.54.

Explanation:

The computation of the expected dividend per share at the end of year 5 is shown below:

= Dividend per share × (1 + growth rate)^number of years × (1 + growth rate)^remaining years left

= 1.40 × (1+18%)^3 × (1 + 5%)^2

= $2.54

hence, the expected dividend per share at the end of year 5 is $2.54

If demand is not uniform and constant, then stockout risks can be controlled by: increasing the EOQ. spreading annual demand over more frequent, but smaller, orders. raising the selling price to reduce demand. adding safety stock. reducing the reorder point.

Answers

Answer: Adding safety stock

Explanation:

A stockout is when the orders of the customer for a particular product is more than the amount of inventory that is kept on hand and this leads to lost sales, and a negative impact on the long-term relationship with the customer.

Since the demand is not uniform and constant, then stockout risks can be controlled by adding safety stock. The safety stock is asimply the additional quantity of an item which is held in the inventory in order to help to reduce stockout risk.

The maximum price that can be asked for the new jPad model is $2,000 at which point they would sell 0 units. It costs Pear $600 to manufacturer and deliver these jPads to their stores. Determine the optimal price for this new jPad, which can be assumed to operate in a monopoly (at least upon introduction).

Answers

Answer: $700

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the optimal price for this new jPad, which can be assumed to operate in a monopoly will be calculated thus:

P = 2000+Q

TR = P × Q

TR = (2000 + Q) × Q

TR = 2000Q + Q²

MR = 2000 + 2Q

MC = 600

Since marginal revenue equals to marginal cost, this will be:

MR = MC

2000+2Q = 600

2Q = 2000 - 600

2Q = 1400

Q = 1400/2

Q = 700

Explanation:

Champion Toys just purchased some MACRS 5-year property at a cost of $230,000. The MACRS rates are 20 percent, 32 percent, 19.2 percent, 11.52 percent, 11.52 percent, and 5.76 percent for Years 1 to 6, respectively. Assuming the firm foregoes all bonus depreciation, the book value of the asset as of the end of Year 2 can be calculated as: _______________

a. $230,000(1 − .20 − .32).
b. $230,000([1 − (.20)(.32)].
c. $230,000(1 − .20)(1 − .32).
d. $230,000/(1 − .20 − .32).
e. $230,000(.20)(.32).

Answers

Answer: a. $230,000(1 − .20 − .32).

Explanation:

Using the MACRS convention, the depreciation in year 2 will be sum of the first and second year depreciation rates according to MACRS.

The value of the asset in year 2 can therefore be calculated as:

= Cost * ( 1 - sum of first and second year depreciation)

= 230,000 * (1 - (20% + 32%))

Which can be written as:

= 230,000 * (1 - 20% - 32%)

Value would therefore be:

=  230,000 * (1 - 20% - 32%)

= $110,400

b. What is the equity at the end of the year? 34000
c. If the company issues common stock of $5,500 and pay dividends of $36,700, how much is net income (loss)?

Answers

Answer:

a. $13,000

b. $34,000

c. $10,200

Explanation:

a. Calculation to determine the equity at the beginning of the year

Asset = Liabilities + Equity

$29000 = $16000 + Equity

Equity=$29,000-$16,000

Equity = $13,000

Therefore the equity at the beginning of the year is $13,000

b. Calculation to determine the equity at the end of the year

Asset = Liabilities + Equity

$63000 = $29000 + Equity

Equity = $63000-$29,000

Equity=$34,000

c. Calculation to determine how much is net income (loss)

Opening Equity + Issued common stock – dividend + Net income = Closing Equity

$13,000 + $36,700 - $5,500 + Net income = $34,000

$44,200+ Net income = $34,000

Net income=$44,200-$34,000

Net income=$10,200

Therefore the net income is $10,200

MC Qu. 150 Glaston Company manufactures... Glaston Company manufactures a single product using a JIT inventory system. The production budget indicates that the number of units expected to be produced are 184,000 in October, 192,500 in November, and 189,000 in December. Glaston assigns variable overhead at a rate of $0.80 per unit of production. Fixed overhead equals $141,000 per month. Compute the total budgeted overhead that would appear on the factory overhead budget for month of October.

Answers

Answer:

$288,200

Explanation:

Computation for the total budgeted overhead that would appear on the factory overhead budget for month of October.

Using this formula

Total budgeted overhead=(Units expected to be produced*Variable overhead rate)+Fixed overhead

Let plug in the formula

Total budgeted overhead=(184,000 * $0.80) + $141,000

Total budgeted overhead=$147,200+$141,000

Total budgeted overhead = $288,200

Therefore the total budgeted overhead that would appear on the factory overhead budget for month of October is $288,200

Flying Cloud Co. has the following operating data for its manufacturing operations:
Unit selling price $ 350
Unit variable cost $ 100
Total fixed costs $980,000
The company has decided to increase the wages of hourly workers which will increase the unit variable cost by 10%. Increases in the salaries of factory supervisors and property taxes for the factory will increase fixed costs by 5%. If sales prices are held constant, the next break-even point for Flying Cloud Co. will be:__________
a) increased by 368 units
b) decreased by 368 units
c) increased by 132 units
d) decreased by 264 units

Answers

Answer:

a) increased by 368 units

Explanation:

The calculation of the next break even point should be

Existing  break-even point for Flying Cloud Co. is

= Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Per Unit

= Fixed Cost ÷ Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit

= $980,000 ÷ ( $350 - $100)

= 3,920 Units

Now

Revised Variable cost = $100 × 110%

= $110

And,  

Revised Fixed cost = $980,000  × 105%

= $1,029,000

So,

Revised  break-even point for Flying Cloud Co. is

= Fixed Cost  ÷ ( Contribution Margin Per Unit

= Fixed Cost  ÷ ( Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit

= $1,029,000  ÷ ( ( $350 -$110)

= 4,287.5

= 4,288 units

So,  

Increase = 4,288 Units - 3920 Units

= 368 Units Increase

Marks Corporation has two operating departments, Drilling and Grinding, and an office. The three categories of office expenses are allocated to the two departments using different allocation bases. The following information is available for the current period:

Office Expenses Total Allocation Basis
Salaries $30,000 Number of employees
Depreciation 20,500​ Cost of goods sold
Advertising 41,500​ Net sales

Item Drilling Grinding Total
Number of employees 1080​ 1620​ 2700​
Net sales $326,625​ $477,375​ $804,000​
Cost of goods sold $76,500​ $127,500​ $204,000​

The amount of the total office expenses that should be allocated to Grinding for the current period is : ____________

Answers

Answer:

Total allocated costs= $63,221.7

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the allocation rates based on the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Salaries= 30,000/2,700= $11.11 per number of employees

Depreciation= 20,500​/204,000= $0.10 per cost of goods sold dollar

Advertising= 41,500/804,000= $0.052 per net sales dollar

Now, we can allocate costs to Grinding:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Salaries= 11.11*1,620= 17,998.2

Depreciation= 0.10*204,000= 20,400

Advertising= 0.052*477,375= 24,823.5

Total allocated costs= $63,221.7

Coronado Industries can produce 100 units of a component part with the following costs: Direct Materials $24000 Direct Labor 8500 Variable Overhead 22000 Fixed Overhead 11000 If Coronado Industries can purchase the units externally for $60000, by what amount will its total costs change

Answers

Answer:

Increase of $5,500

Explanation:

The computation of the change in the total cost is given below:

Total cost at the time of producing is

= Direct material + direct labor + variable overhead

= $24,000 + $8,500 + $22,000

= $54,500

And, the cost of purchasing the unit is $60,000

So, there is an increase of

= $60,000 - $54,500

= $5,500

Bramble Corp. is planning to sell 1200 boxes of ceramic tile, with production estimated at 1170 boxes during May. Each box of tile requires 44 pounds of clay mix and a 0.50 hour of direct labor. Clay mix costs $0.40 per pound and employees of the company are paid $10 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Bramble has 3200 pounds of clay mix in beginning inventory and wants to have 4100 pounds in ending inventory. What is the total amount to be budgeted for manufacturing overhead for the month

Answers

Answer: $6,435

Explanation:

Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs.

Direct labor costs:

= Budgeted number of boxes to be produced* number of direct labor hours required * employee salary per hour

= 1,170 * 0.50 * 10

= $5,850

Manufacturing overhead is 110% of this:

= 5,850 * 110/100

= $6,435

Compute the overhead rate for each activity.

Answers

Answer:

Machine setups= $70 per setup

Machining= $10 per machine hour

Inspection= $45 per inspection

Explanation:

To calculate the allocation rate for each activity, we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Machine setups= 140,000 / 2,000= $70 per setup

Machining= 240,000 / 24,000= $10 per machine hour

Inspection= 54,000 / 1,200= $45 per inspection

Describe two distinct reasons why someone who has never used a drug in his or her life might refuse a test at work. Convert those reasons into well-founded ethical arguments.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The two main reasons why someone who has never used a drug in his or her life might refuse a test at work are provided below:

1. If there's no health related reason for the employer to perform the test.

2. When there's no reason by the employee to believe that drug use is occurring.

It should be noted that an employee can refuse a testing unless testing is mandatory for the job or when there's reasonable suspicion. In a situation where there's suspicion, then ethically, the drug test is reasonable as an employee who uses drug can be less productive than others.

Based on this argument, the privacy of the employee should be respected. For example, in a scenario whereby an employer request for a urine sample of the employee, this is an invasion of privacy. Even if the worker took the substance tbe previous night, he or she didn't take it while at work and hence, that isn't the concern of the employer.

Also, there is an argument of freedom. As individuals, we have the right to pursue our own happiness. This is a legal argument.

A company's overhead rate is 60% of direct labor cost. Using the following incomplete accounts, determine the cost of direct materials used.

Goods in process inventory:
Beginning balance $100,800
D.M.
D.L.
O.H. F.G.
Ending balance $131,040

Answers

Answer: $113,120

Explanation:

Direct material used = Total cost of manufacturing - Direct labor - Factory overhead

Total cost of manufacturing = Ending WIP + Cost of manufacturing - Beginning WIP

= 131,040 + 324,800 - 100,800

= $355,040

Direct labor = Factory overhead * 100/60

= 90,720 * 100/60

= $151,200

Direct materials used = 355,040 - 151,200 - 90,720

= $113,120

b. The inflationary gap is equal to 1 billion yen divided by 2.5 or 0.4 billion yen.
c. The recessionary gap is equal to 1 billion yen divided by 2.5 or 0.4 billion yen.
d. The inflationary gap is equal to 1 billion yen divided by 1.66 or 0.625 billion yen.

Answers

Answer:

c. The recessionary gap is equal to 1 billion yen divided by 2.5 or 0.4 billion yen.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The multiplier is

= 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)

= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.60)

= 2.5

Now the increase in government expenditure for closing out the recessionary gap should be

Change in income = change in government purchase × multiplier

100 = change in government purchase × 2.5

So, the change in government purchase should be

= 100 ÷2.5

= 40

Hence, the option c is correct
