Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the given question is shown below:-
Total Contributions = Monthly contribution + Amount invested in Ferdinand’s 401(k)
= $250 + $125
= $375
1. Future Value = PMT [((1 + r)n - 1) ÷ r
Future value = 375 × ((1 + 0.03 ÷ 12) × 12 × 40 - 1) ÷ (0.03 ÷ 12)
= $347,272
2. Ferdinand deposit = Given Amount × Total number of months in a year × Number of years
= $250 × 12 Months × 40 Years
= $120,000
3. The Amount put in by the employer = 50% of $250 ×Total number of months in a year × Number of years
= $125 × 12 Months × 40 Years
= $60,000
4. Interest = Future value - Ferdinand deposit - The Amount put in by the employer
= $347,272 - $120,000 - $60,000
= $167,272
We simply applied the above formulas
Gwinnett Barbecue Sauce Corporation manufactures a specialty barbecue sauce. Gwinnett has the capacity to manufacture and sell 15,000 cases of sauce each year but is currently only manufacturing and selling 14,000. The following costs relate to annual operations at 14,000 cases: Total Cost Variable manufacturing cost $294,000 Fixed manufacturing cost $56,000 Variable selling and administrative cost $42,000 Fixed selling and administrative cost $38,000 Gwinnett normally sells its sauce for $45 per case. A local school district is interested in purchasing Gwinnett's excess capacity of 1,000 cases of sauce but only if they can get the sauce for $23 per case. This special order would not affect regular sales or total fixed costs or variable costs per unit. If this special order is accepted, Gwinnett's profits for the year will:
Answer:
Gwinnett's profits for the year will decrease by $1,000
Explanation:
total costs for normal 14,000 cases:
Variable manufacturing cost $294,000 / 14,000 = $21 per caseFixed manufacturing cost $56,000 Variable selling and administrative cost $42,000 Fixed selling and administrative cost $38,000total = $430,000the incremental revenue of selling 1,000 cases to the school district = $23 x 1,000 = $23,000
the incremental costs for producing and selling 1,000 more cases:
variable manufacturing costs = $21 x 1,000 = $21,000variable S&A costs = $3 x 1,000 = $3,000total incremental costs = $24,000incremental revenue - total incremental costs = $23,000 - $24,000 = -$1,000
Answer:
Effect on income= $1,000 decrease
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary variable costs:
Variable manufacturing cost= $294,000/14,000= $21
Variable selling and administrative= $42,000/14,000= $3
Special offer= 1,000 units for $23
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs:
Effect on income= 1,000*(23 - 24)= $1,000 decrease
Overhead Variance (Over- or Underapplied), Closing to Cost of Goods Sold At the end of the year, Estes Company provided the following actual information: Overhead $412,600 Direct labor cost 532,000 Estes uses normal costing and applies overhead at the rate of 75% of direct labor cost. At the end of the year, Cost of Goods Sold (before adjusting for any overhead variance) was $1,670,000.Required:
1. Calculate the overhead variance for the year. $2. Dispose of the overhead variance by adjusting Cost of Goods Sold.
Answer:
1.
$13,600 unfavorable
2.
$1,683,600
Explanation:
Overhead variance is difference between the budgeted and actual values of the overhead incurred by a company.
Applied Overhead is the overhead value calculated by multiplying the actual activity and budgeted applied rate.
Applied Overheads = $532,000 x 75% = $399,000
Actual Overheads = $412,600
Overheads Variance = Applied Overheads - Actual Overheads
Overheads Variance = $399,000 - $412,600 = -$13,600
As actual overheads are incurred more than the applied overhead, so the variance is unfavorable.
$13,600 unfavorable
2.
As the overhead is under-applied and it need to be adjusted and added in the cost of goods sold.
Cost of Goods sold = $1,670,000
Adjusted cost of goods sold = $1,670,000 + $13,600
Adjusted cost of goods sold = $1,683,600
n the kinked demand curve model, competitors: A. ignore any price change by a rival firm. B. ignore any price increase and match any price decrease by a rival firm. C. match any price increase and ignore any price decrease by a rival firm. D. follow any price change by a rival firm.
Answer:
B. ignore any price increase and match any price decrease by a rival firm.
Explanation:
The kinked demand curve model is used by economists to provide information about the monopolistic and oligopolistic market.
Under oligopoly, the kinked demand curve shows that price aren't flexible for a long period of time. The kindred demand curve is associated with a demand curve that isn't a straight line but has varying elasticity for both lower and higher prices in the economic market.
Hence, organizations operating in an oligopolistic market ensure their market shares are maintained and well protected. Thus, an oligopolist would lower it's selling price if its competitors in the market lower their selling price. However, he or she ignores any price increase by his or her competitors.
The kinked demand curve model helps them to understand how to protect and expand their market share.

Charles Underwood Agency Inc. has an expected net operating profit after taxes, EBIT(1 – T), of $14,200 million in the coming year. In addition, the firm is expected to have net capital expenditures of $2,130 million, and net operating working capital (NOWC) is expected to increase by $35 million. How much free cash flow (FCF) is Charles Underwood Agency Inc. expected to generate over the next year?
Answer:
The free cash flow (FCF) is Charles Underwood Agency Inc. expected to generate over the next year is $12,035 million
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
net operating profit after taxes=$14,200 million
net capital expenditures= $2,130 million
net operating working capital = $35 million.
Therefore, free cash flow (FCF) is Charles Underwood Agency Inc. expected to generate over the next year would be calculated as follows:
FCF= net operating profit after taxes-net capital expenditures- net operating working capital
FCF=$14,200 million-$2,130 million- $35 million
FCD=$12,035 million
Atkinson Construction assembles residential houses. It uses a job-costing system with two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct labor) and one indirect-cost pool (assembly support). Direct labor-hours is the allocation base for assembly support costs. In December 2016, Atkinson budgets 2017 assembly-support costs to be $8,800,000 and 2017 direct labor-hours to be 220,000.At the end of 2017, Atkinson is comparing the costs of several jobs that were started and completed in 2017.Laguna Model Mission ModelConstruction period Feb-June 2017 May-0ct 2017Direct material costs $106,550 $127,450Direct labor costs $ 36,250 $41,130Direct labor-hours 970 1,000Direct materials and direct labor are paid for on a contract basis. The costs of each are known when direct materials are used or when direct labor-hours are worked. The 2017 actual assembly-support costs were $8,400,000, and the actual direct labor-hours were 200,000.Required:1. Compute the (a) budgeted indirect-cost rate and (b) actual indirect-cost rate. Why do they differ?2. What are the job costs of the Laguna Model and the Mission Model using (a) normal costing and (b) actual costing?3. Why might Atkinson Construction prefer normal costing over actual costing?
Answer:
1. Compute the
(a) budgeted indirect-cost rate
$40 per labor hour
and (b) actual indirect-cost rate.
$42 per labor hour
Why do they differ?
Because total assembly support costs and labor hours were different.They both were actually lower than expected, but the labor hours were 9% lower while the costs were around 5% lower. That is why the actual rate increased (denominator decreased more than numerator).
2. What are the job costs of the Laguna Model and the Mission Model using (a) normal costing
Laguna Model Mission Model
assembly-support cost $38,800 $40,000
and (b) actual costing?
Laguna Model Mission Model
assembly-support cost $40,7400 $42,000
3. Why might Atkinson Construction prefer normal costing over actual costing?
The problem with actual costing is that they cannot be budgeted, you can only budget normal costing. Any business has to prepare budgets in order to control how their operations are being carried out and then they need to adjust them to the actual costs incurred.

Sink and Tap Inc. is looking at a 4-year project for making taps. Initial investment in equipment will be $754,000. Each unit will be sold for $230. Annual fixed costs, not including depreciation, will be $333,000. Variable costs per unit will be $102.40. The applicable discount rate is 12 percent, and the tax rate is 21 percent. Assume straight- line depreciation to zero and no market salvage value. Use goal seek (or any other method) to find the present value break-even point in units per year.
Select one:
a. 5340
b. 5930
c. 4848
d. 4680
e. 5200
Answer:
the present value break-even point in units per yea is 4680 units. the option (d) is correct
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The initial cash flow = $754,000
The project life is = four years
Thus,
Contribution = sales - variable costs
So,
Sales = quantity * the price
Let the Quantity be Y
$230 Y - $102.40 Y
=127.60 Y
Now,
The operating income = Contribution -fixed costs
which is,
127. 60 Y- (Other depreciation or decrease + decrease)
127. 60 Y- ( $333,000 + ($754,000/4))
= 127. 60 Y- ( $333,000 + $188,500)
Thus,
127. 60 Y - $521, 500
Now,
Tax rate at 21% on operating income is =26.796 Y - 109. 515
The profit after tax = operating income - tax
(127. 60 Y - $521, 500) -(26.796 Y - 109. 515)
= 100.804 Y - 411, 985
Additional depreciation = $188, 500
The operating cash inflow per year = 100.804 Y - 411, 985 + $188, 500
Thus,
The PVAF for 12 years , 4% = 3.037349
PV of operational cash inflow = 306.18 Y - 678, 802.02
However,
For the break even point: the initaila cash flow = The PV of functioning or operational cash inflow
So,
306.18 Y - 678, 802.02 =$ 754,400
306.18 Y = 1, 432, 802.02
Y = 4680 Units
The total value (debt plus equity) of Wilson Dover Inc. is $500 million and the face value of its 1-year coupon debt is $200 million. The volatility (σ) of Wilson Dover's total value is 0.60, and the risk-free rate is 5%. Assume that N(d1) = 0.9720 and N(d2) = 0.9050. Refer to the data for Wilson Dover Inc. What is the yield on Wilson Dover's debt?
Answer:
The yield on Wilson Dover's debt is 7.42%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the yield on Wilson Dover's debt we would have to calculate first the value of debt as follows:
value of debt=Total value*N(d1)-Debt*e∧-r fx period*N(d2)
value of debt=$500 million*0.9720-$200 million*2.7183∧-0.05*1*0.9050
value of debt=$486 million-$200 million*0.951229*0.9050
value of debt=$486 million-$172.1724 million
value of debt=$313.8276 million
=Total Value-Value of debt
=$186.17 million
The value of debt is $186.17 million
So, to calculate the yield we have to use the following formula:
Yield=(Face Value/current value)∧1/period-1
Yield=($200 million/$186.17 million)∧1-1
Yield=1.074286942-1
Yield=7.42%
The yield on Wilson Dover's debt is 7.42%
A corporate CEO wished to relay good news about the prospect of a new technology being created, but was reluctant to do so. Instead, the CEO announces that the firm has decided to increase its dividend. This story is illustrative of what view of dividend relevancy
Answer:
Information signaling
Explanation:
Information signalling is defined as the various actions a firm takes that communicates it's financial outlook. For example if a firm releases a dividend policy it communicates the value of the firm's stock.
In this scenario the CEO announced increase in the firm's dividend. This will convey to investors that the company has a competitive advantage which will result in additional income, so dividends are being raised.
It is an indirect way of announcing good news about the prospect of a new technology being created.

Piper is a manager in a corporation that was organized in Canada by one of his former coworkers. The company provides consulting services and training for architects employed by construction companies. The company recently went public, with shares being sold to hundreds of investors. Piper’s company would be a __________ corporation.
Answer:
A Public company.
Explanation:
A public company can be described as a commercial organization that has its share capital formed by shares, that is, the company sells its shares to the public, who become partners in the company.
The shares of a public company are traded on the stock exchange freely, without the need for any type of public bookkeeping.
The company's shareholders can be composed of any type of person who is interested in buying shares in the company.
Private companies generally become public because of the possibility of obtaining capital, which generates greater revenue for the company and greater possibility for growth and investment in business.
George has been selling 5,000 T-shirts per month for $8.50. When he increased the price to $9.50, he sold only 4,000 T-shirts. Which of the following best approximates the price elasticity of demand? -2.2 -1.8 -2 -2.6 Suppose George's marginal cost is $5 per shirt. Before the price change, George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately . George's desired markup is . Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was than his desired margin, raising the price was .
Answer: George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately 41.2% George's desired markup is 45% Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was Less than his desired margin, raising the price was profitable
Explanation:
a) Price Elasticity of Demand = [(Q1-Q2)/(Q1+Q2)] / [(P1-P2)/(P1+P2)]
= 5000- 4000/4000+ 5000) / 8.50- 9.50 /8.50 ₊9.50 =
1000/8000 / -1/ 18 = 0.125/-0.055 = -2.2
George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately
when Marginal cost = $5
b)initial price markup = Price - marginal cost / price = 8.50 - 5.00/ 8.50 = 0.412= 41.2%
C) George's desired margin = 1/absolute value of price elasticity = 1/ 2.2= 0.45= 45%
.
D)Since George's initial markup or actual margin was less than his desired margin, raising the price is profitable.
This is because When the markup is lower than the margin, business is running on a loss, so it is nessesary to increase price.
Big data analytics programs (which analyze massive data sets to make decisions) use gigantic computing power to quantify trends that would be beyond the grasp of human observers. As the use of this quantitative analysis increases, do you think it may decrease the "humanity of production" in organizations?
Answer:
The correct answer is: No, it may not decrease the humanity of production in organizations.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term known as ''humanity of production'' refers to that human element that gives to the company its capability of leadership and other human abilities. Moreover, when it comes to the big data analytics those programs would not decrease the humanity of production because in order to create all those programs and in order to read all the information that those programs give and to use it and implement there will be a need of using human capital to complete the whole objective. So therefore that human will be as need as machines.

On February 18, 2021, Union Corporation purchased 600 IBM bonds as a long-term investment at their face value for a total of $600,000. Union will hold the bonds indefinitely, and may sell them if their price increases sufficiently. On December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2022, the market value of the bonds was $580,000 and $610,000, respectively.Required:2. & 3. Prepare the adjusting entry for December 31, 2021 and 2022. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
Answer:
Dr unrealized holding gains and losses—OCI $20,000
Cr investment in bonds fair value adjustment $20,000
Dr investment in bonds fair value adjustment $30,000
Cr unrealized holding gains and losses—OCI $30,000
Explanation:
On 31st December 2021 the adjustment required is the difference between the cost of bond investment of $600,000 and the market value of the bonds which was $580,000, in a nutshell a unrealized loss of $20,000 is recorded.
The excess of fair value of market value of $610,000 over the previous year market value would be debited to fair value adjustment while it is also credited to unrealized holding gains and losses-OCI
A mutual fund had NAV per share of $19.00 on January 1, 2016. On December 31 of the same year, the fund's NAV was $19.14. Income distributions were $0.57, and the fund had capital gain distributions of $1.12. Without considering taxes and transactions costs, what rate of return did an investor receive on the fund last year
Answer:
9.63%
Explanation:
Calculation of Mutual Fund rate of return that the investor receive on the fund last year
Using this formula
Rate=(Fund's NAV -NAV per share +Income distributions+ Capital gain distributions )
Let plug in the formula
Where:
Fund's NAV =$19.14
NAV per share=$19.00
Income distributions=.57
Capital gain distributions =1.12
Hence
Rate =($19.14 - 19.00 + .57 + 1.12) / $19.00
=1.83/$19.00
=0.0963×100
Rate = 9.63%
Therefore without considering taxes and transactions costs, the rate of return that the investor receive on the fund last year will be 9.63%
Process Costing using First-in-First Out (FIFO) Crone Corporation uses the FIFO method in its processing costing system. The following data concern the company's Assembly Department for the month of October.
Cost in beginning work in process inventory $1,920
Units started and completed this month 3,130
Materials Conversion:
Cost per equivalent unit $9.50 $20.40
Equivalent units required to complete the units in
beginning work in process inventory 360 140
Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory 330 264
Required:
a. Determine the cost of ending work in process inventory
b. Determine the cost of units transferred out of the department during October.
Answer:
Cost of ending inventory= $8,520.6
Total cost of units transferred out=$99,863
Explanation:
Cost of ending inventory
Cost of items of inventory = cost per equivalent unit × No of units
Cost of items of inventory = ($9.50×330) + ($20.40 × 264)= $8,520.6
Total cost of units transferred out
The FIFO method of valuation of working in progress separates the units transferred out into opening inventory and fully worked.
The fully worked represents the units of inventory started and completed in the sames period.
The cost of units transferred out is the sum of h opening inventory and he fully worked. This done below:
Opening inventory = ($9.50 × 360) + ($20.40×140)= 6276
Transferred of fully worked = $(9.50 +$20.40) × 3,130= 93,587
Total cost of units transferred out = (6276 +93587)= $99,863

Answer:
$42,969,487
$ 39,100,000
$ 35,745,399
Explanation:
The price of the bond using the pv formula in excel is given thus:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the market rate divided by 2 since interest is payable twice a year
nper is 20year multiplied by 2 which gives 40
pmt is the semiannual coupon=$39,100,000*9%*6/12=$1,759,500.00
fv is the face value of $39,100,000
market rate of 8%
=-pv(8%/2,40,1759500,39100000)=$42,969,487
market rate of 9%
=-pv(9%/2,40,1759500,39100000)=$ 39,100,000
market rate of 10%
=-pv(10%/2,40,1759500,39100000)=$35,745,399
Steeler Company has issued bonds that pay semiannually with the following characteristics: Coupon Yield to Maturity Maturity Duration 10% 10% 10 years 6.76 years If the yield to maturity decreases to 8.045%, the expected percentage change in the price of the bond using modified duration would be ________.
Answer:
the expected percentage change in the price of the bond using modified duration would be 12%
Explanation:
A= Semi annually= 2
YM= Yield to Maturity= 10%
M= Maturity= 10%
MtD= Maturity duration= 6.76 years
Modified duration (MD)= MtD/1+YM/A
MD= 6.76/1+10%/2= 6.76/1.05= 6.438 approx 6.44 years
Change in Yield to maturity = 8.045%- 10%= -1.955%
Change in percentage Price= -Modified duration*Change in Yield to maturity
Change in percentage Price= -6.44*(--1.955%
)= 12.59%
When a worker calls in sick, a temporary replacement is hired to operate his machine. During the week in which the replacement is working, scrap increases significantly, to the point that almost all points plotted on the control chart used to monitor the machine, fall well above the central tendency. Management is frustrated because it cannot understand why the process has deteriorated so rapidly. However, when the original worker returns, scrap decreases to the original level. Management is satisfied it has fixed the problem somehow once and for all although it doesn’t have any idea how the high rate of scrap occurred. According to Deming, this is an example of management: I incorrectly identifying common cause variation present as special cause variation. II under controlling the process by not reacting to special cause variation occurring. III correctly identifying special cause variation. IV correctly identifying common cause.
Answer:
II. under controlling the process by not reacting to special cause variation occurring.
Explanation:
Note the fact that Edwards Deming see such a scenario as one that is not previously observed, but that could be reacted to.
The special cause variation in this scenario refers to the increase in scrap value significantly when a worker who falls sick was replaced by another to operate his machine. The negligence of Management is evident from the fact even after the original worker returns, and the scrap decreases to the original level, the Management feels satisfied it has fixed the problem without any idea how the high rate of scrap occurred.
Elaborate on two instances at the workplace where "silence is golden " may be applicable.
Answer:
"Silence is golden" teaches that it is not everytime that somebody must say something. At times, it is better to keep quiet and listen to others and the environment instead of talking meaninglessly.
At the workplace, it is better to apply this "silence is golden" rule instead of asking or making unrelated questions or comments. Relevance is important in communication. Off-handed revelations can be offsetting and can damage one's character, if left unchecked. If you want to ask a question in any situation, please ensure that the question is related to the topic under discussion. If you want to make a comment during departmental meetings, first make the comment in your head and evaluate its relevance to the subject being discussed. After your evaluation, you may discover it was not necessary to ask the question or make the comment, then withdraw it. Do not fall into the habit of asking irrelevant questions or making unnecessary comments because you want your voice to be heard. We learn more from listening to others than from talking.
Another instance were "silence is golden" is when you are under emotions. Hold yourself in check at such moments and do not allow yourself to ask questions or make comments that will hurt the feelings of those around you. Some people are sentimental and will not appreciate nor excuse such remarks. Hold your tongue. Cry if you must, but do not voice out your emotions without control. People do not easily forget such remarks even though they realize that you were emotionally charged. Let your peace reign in your heart.
Explanation:
A workplace is not the most appropriate place to voice out some thoughts. You must recognize your purpose of being there in the first instance: to work and earn a living. So, simply do that. Do not be known as a talkative.
