Answer:
Those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance.
Explanation:
In Insurance, risk tolerance refers to the willingness of an individual or organization to take a risk in business transactions in order to get a potentially positive reward.
Simply stated, risk tolerance in insurance is the willingness of an insured individual to increase his or her Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs) or deductibles by the insurer. For instance, the high risk associated with investments such as stocks, high-yield bonds, is often perceived by investors to be worth the higher reward such investment brings.
Insurance companies facilitate the transfer of risk from those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance. The transfer of risk in insurance refers to the process whereby an individual or entity pay premiums to an insurer for the purpose of mitigating potential losses or liabilities.
Generally, insurance companies across the globe charge millions of their customers (insured) premiums every year. This gives them the privilege of having a pool of cash which can be used to cover the cost of losses and destruction to the asset of a small fraction or percentage of its customers.
This simply means that, since insurance companies collect premium from all of their customers for losses which may or may not occur, so they can easily use this cash to compensate or indemnify for losses incurred by those having high risk.
On September 30, 2018, the San Fillipo Corporation issued 8% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $480 million. The bonds mature on September 30, 2038 (20 years). The market rate of interest for similar bonds was 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on March 31 and September 30.
Required:
Determine the price of the bonds on September 30, 2018.
Answer:
The price of the bonds today is $397.64 million (rounded off to two decimal places)
Explanation:
The price of a bond is calculated as the present value of the face value of the bond discounted at the market interest rate plus the present value of the annuity of interest payments related to the bond discounted at the market interest rate or the Yield to Maturity (YTM).
The formula for the price of the bond is attached hereby.
Semi annual coupon rate = 8%/2 = 4%
Semi annual market interest rate = 10% / 2 = 5%
Number of semi annual interest periods = 20 * 2 = 40 periods
The interest paid by the bond semi annually is = 480 * 0.04 = $19.2 million
Price of the bond = 19.2 * [(1 - (1+0.05)^-40) / 0.05] + 480 / (1+0.05)^40
Price of the bond = $397.6363855 million rounded off to $397.64 million

Annual production and sales level of Product A is 34,300 units, and the annual production and sales level of Product B is 69,550 units. What is the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing?
Answer:
$3.00
Explanation:
Calaculation of the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing:
The first step is to calculate for the Activity 1 allocated to Product A line which is :
$87,000 × 3,000/5,800
=$261,000,000/5,800
=$45,000
The second step is to calaculate for Activity 2 allocated to Product A line which is :
$62,000 × 4,500/10,000
$279,000,000/10,000
=$27,900
The third step is to calculate for Activity 3 allocated to Product A line which is :
$93,000 × 2,500/7,750
=$232,500,000/7,750
=$30,000
The total overhead allocated to Product A
$45,000+$30,000+$27,900
= $102,900
Overhead per unit of Product A: $102,900/Annual production of 34,300 units
= $3.00
Therefore the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing will be $3.00
You own a portfolio that has a total value of $130,000 and a beta of 1.28. You have another $49,000 to invest and you would like the beta of your portfolio to decrease to 1.18. What does the beta of the new investment have to be in order to accomplish this
Answer:βB =0.9147=beta of new investment
Explanation:
Total investment= $130,000 + $49,000= $179,000
Using
Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB
Where βp is the portfolio beta coefficient,
wA is the weight of the first investment,
βA is the beta coefficient of first investment;
wB is the weight of the second investment,
βB is the beta coefficient of second investment
but weight of investment is stock value/ total investment x 100
wA= 130,000/ 179,000X 100=72.63%
WB= 49,000/179,000 X100=27.374%
Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB
1.18=(72.63%*1.28)+(27.374% XβB )
1.18=0.9296+0.27374βB
βB i=(1.18-0.9298)/0.27374
βB =0.9147=beta of new investment
This year, Napa Corporation received the following dividends: KLP Inc (a taxable Delaware corporation in which Napa holds an 8% stock interest) - $55,000 Gamma Inc (a taxable Florida corporation in which Napa holds a 90% stock interest) - $120,000 Napa and Gamma do not file a consolidated tax return. Compute Napa's dividends-received deduction. Please show complete calculation.
Answer:
$147,500
Explanation:
Computation of Napa's dividends-received deduction
Napa is said to holds less than 20% stock interest in KLP Inc which means that the dividends received deduction in the case of dividends received from KLP would be 50%.
And in case of dividends received from Gamma, the dividends received deduction would be 100% reason been that KLP holds more than 80% of the stock interest in Gamma.
Hence:
Napa’s dividends-received deduction will be:
= ($55,000 x 50%) + $120,000
=$27,500 +$120,000
= $147,500
Therefore Napa's dividends-received deduction will be $147,500

A company reported total assets at the end of 2017 of $95,000; including cash of $35,000, accounts receivable of $20,000, and inventory of $40,000. It reported total assets at the end of 2018 of $110,000; including cash of $44,000; accounts receivable of $29,000, and inventory of $37,000. Compute the net increase or decrease in cash in 2018. Decrease of $9,000 Increase of $15,000 Increase of $9,000 Decrease of $15,000
Answer:
The correct option is increase of $9,000
Explanation:
The increase or decrease in cash in 2018 could be determined by using the formula below which is coined from the statement of cash flow:
Cash at the end of the year=cash at the beginning plus +increase in cash
cash at the end of 2018 is $44,000 whereas cash at the beginning which is the same at closing balance of 2017 is $35,000
$44,000=$35,000+increase in cash
increase in cash =$44,000-$35,000
increase in cash in 2018=$9,000
On January 1, 2009, a U.S. firm made an investment in Germany that will generate $5 million annually in depreciation, converted at the current spot rate. Projected annual rates of inflation in Germany and in the United States are 5 percent and 2 percent, respectively. The real exchange rate is expected to remain constant, and the German tax rate is 50 percent. Required: Calculate the expected real value (in terms of January 1, 2009, dollars) of the depreciation charge in year 2013. Assume that the tax write-off is taken at the end of the year.
Answer:
The expected real value (in terms of January 1, 2009, dollars) of the depreciation charge in year 2013 will be $1,958,815.416.
Explanation:
It is expected that the value of the dollar in the German market will fall at the same rate as that of the real market value of the dollar when we envisage the exchange rate will remain the same. Thus the depreciation of the tax write-off in terms of its real value in dollars will fall at 5% every year from 2009 to 2013.
Therefore, at a tax rate of 50% in Germany, a $2.5 million charge on depreciation on the investment of $5 million will result in 2013.
To calculate the real value of the dollar at an inflation of 5% yearly in 2013
When the tax rate in German is 50%, then charges of depreciation of $5 million will equal4$2.5 million in 2013 dollars. When the dollar's real value of this write-off is declining due to the inflation at 5% annually, the real value in 2013 will be calculated as:
Given: $2,500,000 (P/F , 5%, 5years) ; 0.78356 (factor for calculating the amount to be recieved after 5years)
= $2,500,000 * 0.78356
= $1,958,815.416
Suppose that the government spending multiplier is 3.2 and the tax multiplier is 2.9. This means that, if prices are constant, a $200 billion rise in government spending will __________________, and a $200 billion cut in taxes will _____________________.
Answer:
At constant prices, a $200 billion rise in government spending will increase Real GDP by 640 billion
and;
A $200 billion cut in taxes will increase real GDP by 580 billion
Explanation:
Government spending multiplier = 3.2
Tax multiplier = 2.9
Mathematically;
ΔY/ΔG = 3.2
ΔY/200 = 3.2
ΔY = 200 * 3.2
ΔY = 640 billion
Cut in taxes;
Tax multiplier = 2.9
ΔY/ΔT = 2.9
ΔY/200 = 2.9
ΔY = 2.9 * 200
ΔY = 580 billion

Arizona Crystal is a distributor of feldspar, amethyst and other mystically powerful types of crystals. The owner of Arizona Crystal, Geri Moonbeam, is proud to be a part of the movement that is contributing to the higher spirituality of the world. Geri buys crystals from local collectors and then ships them out to wholesalers throughout the country. Geri pays cash for the crystals, but she extends credit to the wholesalers. As the business has grown, problems have arisen. When Geri buys more crystals than she can sell, inventory increases and cash flow problems arise. When Geri doesn’t buy enough crystals, then she can’t fill orders and that creates problems with her customers. She needs to base her buying decisions on accurate forecasts of the demand for crystals so she can avoid these problems. After consulting her tarot cards, Geri visits a friend from El Paso, Texas, who channels for a Wall Street tycoon who didn’t survive the crash of 1929. He recommends that, since she only has twelve months of data, she should try using a moving average or exponential smoothing forecasting model. So Geri contacts you. She provides you with data on the number of crystals (in thousands) ordered during each of the past twelve months and asks you to help her develop a forecasting model. 8. Use a five period moving average model to forecast the demand in January of 1993. Also calculate the RMSE for this model. Use the table below to carry out your calculations. How does this model compare with the three period model? Month Demand (A) Demand (F) (A-F)2 Jan-92 25.6 Feb-92 24.7 Mar-92 21.3 Apr-92 13.9 May-92 12.6 Jun-92 18.0 Jul-92 21.5 Aug-92 22.3 Sep-92 30.7 Oct-92 15.0 Nov-92 13.8 Dec-92 22.6

The model has higher values of demand and RMSE than that of three month moving average model
Minstrel Manufacturing uses a job order costing system. During one month, Minstrel purchased $201,000 of raw materials on credit; issued materials to production of $198,000 of which $27,000 were indirect. Minstrel incurred a factory payroll of $153,000, of which $37,000 was indirect labor. Minstrel uses a predetermined overhead application rate of 150% of direct labor cost. If Minstrel incurred total overhead costs of $180,000 during the month, compute the amount of under- or overapplied overhead:
Answer:
Underapplied overhead= $6,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor= $153,000 - $37,000= $116,000
The predetermined overhead application rate= 150% of direct labor cost.
Actual overhead= $180,000
First, we need to allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 116,000*1.5= $174,000
Now, we can calculate the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 180,000 - 174,000
Under/over applied overhead= $6,000 underallocated
Complete the following statements to demonstrate your understanding of the relationships among the different structures of the Federal Reserve.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve is in charge of setting and overseeing monetary policy and is headed by the (speaker of the house/president of the bank of nwe york/president of the federal open marker committee/chairman of federal reserve) . Monetary policy is supposed to be (independent of/coordinated with) Congress and the president. This goal is aided by the fact that the governors' (two years term dont allow/ 14 year terms allow)
them to outlast the president who appointed them.
Because Congress initially intended to create a decentralized banking system, there are also smaller branches of the Federal Reserve known as district banks.
The presidents of the district banks take turns serving as members of the (board of goverment/ federal open market committee)
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is the official policymaking body of the Federal Reserve and is made up of (all board governors and five bank presidents/ all bank presidents and five board governors/ memebers of the board of governors/ distrtct bank presidents) . The mechanism for translating FOMC policy into action is (the federal funds rate/the reserve requirement/ the statement of open-market operations/ an FOMC directive) , which outlines the course of monetary policy for the next six weeks.

Ma Barker Company has a job-order costing system and uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Manufacturing overhead cost and direct labor hours were estimated at $100,000 and 40,000 hours, respectively, for the year. In July, Job #334 was completed at a cost of $5,000 in direct materials and $2,400 in direct labor. The labor rate is $6 per hour. If Job #334 contained 200 units, the unit product cost on the completed job cost sheet would be:___________.
a) $42.00
b) $39.50
c) $41.90
d) $37.00
Answer:
The correct answer is option (A) $42.00
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The established rate is given as = 100,000/40,000
= $2.5 per hour
Thus
The cost of the job is shown is shown below:
The direct material = $5,000
The direct labor = $2400
Then
The manufacturing overheard is = 400 * 2.5 = $1,000
So,
The total cost is = $5,000 + $2400 + $1000 = $8,400
To get our unit cost,
Unit cost = $8400/200 = $42.00
It is important to know that, the number of labor hours used in jobs = Total labor cost/Rate per hour
=2,400/6 = 400 hours
BSU Inc. wants to purchase a new machine for $40,070, excluding $1,200 of installation costs. The old machine was bought five years ago and had an expected economic life of 10 years without salvage value. This old machine now has a book value of $2,000, and BSU Inc. expects to sell it for that amount. The new machine would decrease operating costs by $8,500 each year of its economic life. The straight-line depreciation method would be used for the new machine, for a six-year period with no salvage value. Click here to view PV table.
(a) Determine the cash payback period. (Round cash payback period to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.53.) Cash payback period years
(b) Determine the approximate internal rate of return. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 13%. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.) Internal rate of return (c) Assuming the company has a required rate of return of 7%, determine whether the new machine should be purchased. The investment be accepted.
Answer:
4.62 years
8.02%
Explanation:
The payback period is the number of years it would take the investment to recoup itself.
Payback=initial capital outlay/annual cash flow
initial capital outlay is the cost of the new machine plus installation cost minus the salvage value of the old machine.
initial capital outlay=$40,070+$1,200-$2,000=$ 39,270.00
Annual cash flow is the reduction in operating costs of $8,500 per year
payback =$ 39,270.00/$8,500.00=4.62 years
The internal rate of return is computed in the attached
Wings Co. budgeted $572,000 manufacturing direct wages, 2,500 direct labor hours, and had the following manufacturing overhead: Overhead Cost Pool Budgeted Overhead Cost Budgeted Level for Cost Driver Overhead Cost Driver Materials handling $ 196,000 4,900 pounds Weight of materials Machine setup 19,600 560 setups Number of setups Machine repair 1,600 32,000 machine hours Machine hours Inspections 16,500 330 inspections Number of inspections Requirements for Job #971 which manufactured 4 units of product: Direct labor 20 hours Direct materials 220 pounds Machine setup 30 setups Machine hours 16,700 machine hours Inspections 15 inspections The total overhead of Job #971 under the ABC costing is:
Answer:
Total allocated overhead= $11,435
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Materials handling $196,000 4,900 pounds
Machine setup $19,600 560 setups
Machine repair $1,600 32,000 machine hours
Inspections $16,500 330 inspections
Job 971
Direct labor 20 hours
Direct materials 220 pounds
Machine setup 30 setups
Machine hours 16,700 machine hours
Inspections 15 inspections
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate for each activity:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 196,000/4,900= $40 per pound
Machine setup= 19,600/560= $35 per setup
Machine repair= 1,600/32,000= $0.05 per machine hour
Inspections= 16,500/330= $50 per inspection
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 40*220= 8,800
Machine setup= 35*30= 1,050
Machine repair= 0.05*16,700=835
Inspections= 50*15= 750
Total allocated overhead= $11,435
On January 1, the Sleepy Monk Coffee Shop paid $15,000 for a full year of rent beginning on January 1. The rent payment was appropriately recorded in the Cash and Prepaid Rent accounts. If financial statements are prepared on January 31, the journal entry to record the adjustment would be:
Answer:
If financial statements are prepared on January 31, the journal entry to record the adjustment would be debit rent expense and credit prepaid rent for $1,250
Explanation:
According to the given data the rent has been expired for one month so only one month's rent expense will be recorded. Therefore to calculate one month's rent expense we have to make the following calculation:
one month's rent=Total rent/period for which rent is paid*1
one month's rent=$15,000/12*1
one month's rent=$1,250
Therefore, If financial statements are prepared on January 31, the journal entry to record the adjustment would be debit rent expense and credit prepaid rent for $1,250

b. $600 deposit from a customer who rented mechanical equipment. Firm B must return the entire deposit when the customer returns the undamaged equipment.
c. $10,000 short-term loan from a local bank. Firm B gave the bank a written note to repay the loan in one year at 9 percent interest.
d. $888 prepaid rent from the customer described in part b. The rent is $12 per day for the 74-day period from December 17 through February 28.
Answer:
a. $522 repayment of a loan from an employee. Firm B loaned $500 to the employee six months ago, and the employee repaid the loan with interest.
Firm B should recognize $22 as interest income.b. $600 deposit from a customer who rented mechanical equipment. Firm B must return the entire deposit when the customer returns the undamaged equipment.
The deposit cannot be recognized as income since it is a liability.c. $10,000 short-term loan from a local bank. Firm B gave the bank a written note to repay the loan in one year at 9 percent interest.
Interests ($900) will be recognized when they are actually paid for in 1 year. No accrued interests must be reported on the balance sheet (December 31).d. $888 prepaid rent from the customer described in part b. The rent is $12 per day for the 74-day period from December 17 through February 28.
The $888 will be recognized as revenue during the current year.Explanation:
When a taxpayer is a cash basis taxpayer, it will only report income and expenses that are actually collected or paid for respectively. All accounts receivable or accounts payable are not considered revenues nor expenses.
The Sunland Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $80 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $5,400 per month
Utilities $1,200 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $2,140 per month
Maid service $19 per room
Other costs $37 per room
Required:
a. Determine the inn's break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
b. Determine the inn's break-even point in dollars.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $80 a night.
Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $5,400 per month
Utilities $1,200 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $2,140 per month
Maid service $19 per room
Other costs $37 per room
We won't take into account the depreciation expense because it is not a cash disbursement.
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Fixed costs= 5,400 + 1,200 + 2,140= $8,740
Variable cost= 19 + 37= $56
Break-even point in units= 8,740 / (80 - 56)
Break-even point in units= 364 rented rooms
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 8,740 / (24/80)
Break-even point (dollars)= $29,133
From the choice of simple moving average, weighted moving average, exponential smoothing, and linear regression analysis, which forecasting technique would you consider the most accurate? Why? (Ch. 18)
Answer:
weighted moving average
Explanation:
Of all these 4 options, the weighted moving average is the most accurate, as it is possible to place specific weights according to their significance.
The other techniques, such as an average, straight line, or exponential curve, assume things. The weighted average can change to any form.
However, the weighted average can be complicated to use if a long time frame is taken.
Additionally, the consumer will most likely want to adjust the weights as time periods pass. That will contribute to the complexity of applying the methods to a wide range of applications, such as predicting inventory item demand.
Hence, the first option is correct
Assume straight-line depreciation. A company plans to purchase machinery costing $1,000,000 with salvage value of $200,000 after 4 years. After-tax net income is expected to be $55,000, $40,000, $35,000, and $30,000 during the 4 years. Calculate the accounting rate of return. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Answer:
Accounting rate of return = 6.67%
Explanation:
The accounting rate of return (ARR) is the proportion of the average investment that is earned as profit.
ARR = average operating income/ Average investment
Average income =( 55,000 + 40,000 + 35,000 + 30,000)/4=40,000
Average investment = initial cost + salvage value/2
= 1,000,000 + 200,000/2 = 600,000
ARR = 40,000/600,000 × 100= 6.67
Accounting rate of return = 6.67%
Answer:
6.7%

A firm has sales of $1,140, net income of $218, net fixed assets of $528, and current assets of $284. The firm has $93 in inventory. What is the common-size balance sheet value of inventory
Answer:
The answer is 11.45%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Firm sales = $1,140
The net income = $218
Net fixed assets = $528
The firm's inventory = $93
The next step is to find the common-size balance sheet value of inventory
Now,
The common size value of inventory would be value of inventory divided by total value of assets.
So,
Total assets=current assets+net fixed assets
=$528+$284 = $812
Therefore,
The common size value of inventory = inventory/Total assets
$93/$812
=11.45%
In Appellia, it takes 10 units of resources to increase its output of sugar from 12 tons to 13 tons, but 11 units of resources to increase output from 13 tons to 14 tons, and 12 units of resources to increase output from 14 tons and 15 tons, and so on. The need for increasing resources is an example of:________.
a. comparative advantage.
b. diminishing returns to specialization.
c. absolute advantage.
d. mercantilism Porter's diamond model.
Answer:
b. diminishing returns to specialization.
Explanation:
Diminishing returns is also called diminishing productivity. It states that as additional unit of input is used in production it will get to a stage where more of input will be required to maintain output levels.
If the same level of input is used it will result in reduction in output over time.
This is exemplified in this secanrio where it takes 10 units of resources to increase its output of sugar from 12 tons to 13 tons, but 11 units of resources to increase output from 13 tons to 14 tons, and 12 units of resources to increase output from 14 tons and 15 tons.
It takes more input to increase output by 1 ton
You have just turned 30 years old, have just received your MBA, and have accepted your first job. Now you must decide how much money to put into your retirement plan. You are required to specify a fixed percentage of your salary that you want to contribute. Assume that your starting salary is $ 70 comma 000 per year and it will grow 1.8 % per year until you retire. Every dollar in the plan earns 6.5 % per year. You cannot make withdrawals until you retire on your sixty-fifth birthday. After that point, you can make withdrawals as you see fit. You decide that you will plan to live to 100 and work until you turn 65. You estimate that to live comfortably in retirement, you will need $ 97 comma 000 per year starting at the end of the first year of retirement and ending on your 100th birthday. What percentage of your income do you need to contribute to the plan every year to fund your retirement income?
Answer:
Find attached
Explanation:
The present value of $97,000 per year after retirement for 35 years is computed thus:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the plan rate of return of 6.5%
nper is 35 years(years after retirement)
pmt is the amount required per year
fv is not applicable is taken as zero
=-pv(6.5%,35,97000,0)=$1,327,634.80
The amount needed in the account at retirement is the future value of the plan.
Regular yearly payment into the plan is =pmt
=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)
=-pmt(6.5%,35,0,1327634.80)=$ 10,703.74
The percentage of income that must be contributed is found in the attached
Technology transfer agreements: Select one: a. protect "distinctive" or "famous" marks from unauthorized uses only when confusion is likely to occur. b. permit a company to quickly penetrate a foreign market without incurring the substantial financial and legal risks associated with direct investment. c. prevent an intellectual property owner from granting to another the right to use protected technology in return for some form of compensation. d. assert that priority of trademark rights in the United States depends upon the priority of use anywhere else in the world.
Answer:
b. permit a company to quickly penetrate a foreign market without incurring the substantial financial and legal risks associated with direct investment.
Explanation:
Technology transfer agreements can be defined as a contractual agreement between two parties, the licensor (rightful owner of the patent or trademark) and lincesee, granting them the legal rights to use an intellectual property under the stated terms and conditions binding the contract.
An intellectual property is an embodiment of the creative work such as trademark, patent or copyright of an individual, usually an inventor.
Technology transfer agreements allows an intellectual property owner to license or grant to another the right to use its protected technology in return for some form of compensation and permit a company to quickly penetrate a foreign market without incurring the substantial financial and legal risks associated with direct investment because this will further enhance foreign direct investments, expansion and deeply foster world trade among countries.
A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month and incurred the following costs: Production costs (5,000 units): Direct materials $70,000 Direct labor 20,000 Variable factory overhead 10,000 Fixed factory overhead 2,000 $102,000 Operating expenses: Variable operating expenses $17,000 Fixed operating expenses 1,000 18,000 If 1,000 units remain unsold at the end of the month and sales total $150,000 for the month, the amount of operating income reported on the absorption costing income statement would be
Answer:
Net operating income= $50,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production costs (5,000 units):
Direct materials $70,000
Direct labor 20,000
Variable factory overhead 10,000
Fixed factory overhead 2,000
Total= 102,000
Operating expenses:
Variable operating expenses $17,000
Fixed operating expenses 1,000
Sales= 4,000 units
Sales revenue= $150,000
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unitary product cost= 102,000/5,000= $20.4
Income statement:
Sales= 150,000
COGS= 20.4*4,000= (81,600)
Gross profit= 68,400
Variable operating expenses= (17,000)
Fixed operating expenses= (1,000)
Net operating income= 50,400
