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
Which of the following is an expense of this period? Multiple Choice Costs of items paid for in this period but used up next period Repayment of debt from a loan in a prior period Cost of land purchased and paid for this period Costs of items used up this period but paid for next period
Answer: Costs of items used up this period but paid for next period
Explanation:
Period Expenses for the period are transactions that should be expensed because they were used in the current period.
Therefore if a period cost is not used in the period, it is not considered a period cost even if the company pays for it in the current period which also means that if a period cost for the period is not paid in the current period but in the next one, it is still a period cost for the current period.
From the above therefore, the period cost is the cost of items used up in this period but paid for in the next one.
The land purchased might look like the obvious choice but it is not because Assets are capitalised and not expensed.

Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc. is concerned they are not maintaining adequate liquidity. The accounting department has provided you, the newly hired finance manager, with the following ratios:
1. Current ratio 4.5 Industry norm 4.0
2. Quick ratio 2.0 Industry norm 3.1
3. Inventory turnover 6.0 Industry norm 10.4
4. Average collection period 73 days Industry norm 52 days
5. Average payment period 31 days Industry norm 40 days
Discuss · In your opinion, what do these ratios indicate about Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc.?
A. What recommendations would you make based on these ratios?
B. What results do you think you can achieve if your recommendations are followed?
C. Why might your recommendations not be effective?
Answer:
Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc.
1. Indications from ratios about Black Sparrow Aviation:
The current ratio of 4.5 is higher than the industry's norm of 4.0. This indicates that working capital elements are not being managed properly. This is supported by the the remaining four ratios. Inventory level is not optimal. More inventory is held without being sold to customers. Obviously, from the inventory turnover of 6.0 translating to approximately 61 days that it takes the company to sell its inventory as against the industry average of 35 days, it shows that the marketing and sales forces lack stamina. Debt collection from customers is over-delayed, showing poor credit policy and management. Perhaps, it takes the company many days to issue invoices. More time than necessary is allowed to customers to pay compared to the industry norm. In addition, payments are made to suppliers 11 days earlier than the industry average. Advantage is not being taken of trade credit offered by suppliers. Trade credit is an important source of funding operations, which every company should utilize to the maximum.
2A. Based on the above ratios, I would recommend:
1. Minimum inventory should be maintained.
2. Sales efforts should be intensified, so that more sales are made each year than it is currently the case.
3. Debt collection is an important activity for every company that sells on account. This activity should be taken seriously. Credit extension to customers should not exceed 50 days.
4. Payments to suppliers can be delayed by more 10 days without offending suppliers.
2B. Results from Recommendations:
1. Working capital is not tied in inventory.
2. More debts are recovered from customers and on time. Delay increases credit default.
3. More sales are made to customers, increasing the turnover. The profit is always in the frequency of turnover.
4. Short-term financing is obtained from suppliers, which strengthens liquidity.
Explanation:
Liquidity management is a financial management tool, which describes a company's ability to meet financial obligations through cash flow, funding activities, and capital management in order to minimize the risks associated with illiquidity.
Calculation, analysis, comparison of ratios are some of the ways to make informed decisions on liquidity management. Ratios should be compared over many periods, with best performing competitors, and the industry norm to ascertain the position of the reporting entity.
Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a 20% weight in equity, 10% in preferred stock, and 70% in debt. The cost of equity capital is 14%, the cost of preferred stock is 10%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is 30%?
Answer: 8.21%
Explanation:
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital(WACC) simply put, is the rate at which a company pays those who have invested in it and financed it be it debt holders or equity holders.
The rates in question are averaged according to the proportion by which the company uses the said capital. This results in the following formula,
WACC= [(Wd*Rd) * (1-Tax) + (We * Re) +(Wp * Rp )]
Where,
Wd is the Weight of debt
We is the weight of common Equity
Wp is the weight of preferred Equity
Rd is the Pre-tax cost of debt
Re is the cost of common Equity
Rp is the cost of Preferred equity.
Note: Sometimes you will be given the After - tax cost of debt. In which case you will not need to include the tax adjustment of (1 - tax).
Calculating,
= [( 70% * 9%) * ( 1 - 30%) + (20% * 14%) + (10% * 10%) ]
= 0.0441 + 0.028 + 0.01
= 0.0821
= 8.21%
Charlie the cat stole $20 from his cat mom. He's planning on spending the money he stole on catnip (Q1) and dental treats (Q2). Dental treats are more expensive at $3 per treat, but catnip is pretty cheap at $0.50 per pouch. What will Charlie's budget constraint look like?
Answer:
$ 20= Q1 (0.5 ) + Q3( 3)
Explanation:
Total Amount = $ 20
Dental treats Q2= $ 3
Catnip Q1= $ 0.50
Maximum no of Dental Treats he can get is = $ 20 /$3= 6.66
If he gets maximum dental treats i.e 6 , $18 will be spent (3*6)
He will be left with = $ 20- $ 18= $ 2
The maximum no of catnip he can get after buying 6 dental treats from $ 2= $ 2/$0.5= 4
Let Q1 denote the catnip and Q3 denote the dental treats then the equation would be like
$ 20= Q1 (0.5 ) + Q3( 3)
So putting the values for q1=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
for values 0-4 Q3 will be $ 18
for values 4-6 Q3 will be $ 15
for values 6-8 Q3 will be $ 12
From values Zero on wards the budget constraint will be a slope but after value 4 the change will be after every two points.
The slope will look like the one given in the diagram.

Each of the following is a method by which to allocate joint costs except: Group of answer choices a. Chemical analysis. b. Relative sales value. c. Relative weight, volume, or linear measure. d. Relative marketing costs. g
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: Chemical analysis.
Explanation:
To begin with, a chemical analysis consists in the study of chemical composition and structure of substances and it refers to the field of chemistry as its name indicates so therefore that it does not implicate the allocation of joint costs as all of the other methods. Moreover, this type of analysis is considered to be the principal basis technique by which every chemical information is obtanied and there are also two main brances in it, the qualitative and quantitative analysis.

A few years back, Dave and Jana bought a new home. They borrowed $230,415 at a fixed rate of 5.49% (15-year term) with monthly payments of $1,881.46. They just made their twenty-fifth payment and the current balance on the loan is $208,555.87.
Interest rates are at an all-time low and Dave and Jana are thinking of refinancing to a new 15-year fixed loan. Their bank has made the
following offer: 15-year term, 3.0%, plus out-of-pocket costs of $2,937. The out-of-pocket costs must be paid in full at the time of refinancing.
Build a spreadsheet model to evaluate this offer. The Excel function:
=PMT(rate, nper, pv, fv, type)
alculates the payment for a loan based on constant payments and a constant interest rate. The arguments of this function are as follows:
rate = the interest rate for the loan
nper = the total number of payments
pv= present value - - the amount borrowed
fv = future value - - the desired cash balance after the last payment (usually 0)
type = payment type (0 = end of period, 1 = beginning of the period)
For example, for Dave and Jana's original loan there will be 180 payments (12*15 = 180), so we would use =PMT( .0549/12, 180, 230415,0,0) = $1881.46. Note that since payments are made monthly, the annual interest rate must be expressed as a monthly rate. Also, for payment calculations, we assume that the payment is made at the end of the month.
Assume that Dave and Jana have accepted the refinance offer, and that there is no pre-payment penalty, so that anything above the beyond the required payment is applied to the principal. Construct a spreadsheet model in Excel so that you may use Goal Seek to determine the monthly payment that will allow Dave and Jana to pay off the loan in 12 years. Do the same for 10 and 11 years. Which option for prepayment if any, would you choose and why?
(Hint: Break each monthly payment up into interest and principal [the amount that gets deducted from the balance owed] Recall that the monthly interest that is charged is just the monthly loan rate multiplied by the remaining loan balance.)

Which option for prepayment if any, would you choose and why?
New monthly payment
PMT(3%/12, 15*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,440.25
Now, we need find the additional amount that they need to pay in order to repay their outstanding loan in 10,11 and 12 years. So, using the above formula, we get
10-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 10*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $2,013.83
11-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 11*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,856.93
12-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 12*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,726.40
Additional Monthly Payment
10-year: $2,013.83 - $1,440.25 = $573.58
11-year: $1,856.93 - $1,440.25 = $416.68
12-year: $1,726.40 - $1,440.25 = $286.15
Refinancing means finance again(object) and, usually with a new loan with a low-interest rate.
What is the term refinancing means?Refinance, or "refi" briefly, refers to the process of reviewing and replacing existing credit agreement terms, usually as they relate to the loan or mortgage.
Calculation of new monthly payment under refinance model:
New monthly payment:
[tex]PMT(3\%/12, 15\times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,440.25[/tex]
The calculation is shown in the attached image.
Now, we need to find the additional amount that they need to pay in order to repay their outstanding loan in 10,11, and 12 years.
Using the above formula, we get
[tex]\rm\,10-year \;installment\; = \;PMT(3\%/12, 10\times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$2,013.83\\\\11-year installment = PMT(3\%/12, 11 \times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,856.93\\\\12-year installment = PMT(3\%/12, 12 \times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,726.40[/tex]
Additional Monthly Payment
[tex]\rm\,10-year \$2,013.83 - \$1,440.25 = \$573.58\\\\11-year: \$1,856.93 - \$1,440.25 = \$416.68\\\\12-year: \$1,726.40 - \$1,440.25 = \$286.15[/tex]
Hence, We can go for 12-year model, as it is cost-effective for Dave and Jana.

You are seeking a bank loan for $12000 and go to Prosper Bank and to Skyline Bank to see which loan has a lower rate. Your plan is to open a restaurant, which is quite risky. Prosper Bank expects that it could recover $10,000 if you defaulted while Skyline thinks it would only recoup $9000. However, Skyline puts your probability of repayment at 97% while Prosper only has it at 96%. Which loan has the lower interest rate? Assume both banks are aiming to earn 6%.
Answer:
SKYLINE = 6.96%, PROSPER = 6.94%.
Explanation:
So, in the question above we are given the following parameters or information or data as;
=> Amount of bank loan been seeked for = $12000.
=> "Prosper Bank expects that it could recover $10,000 if you defaulted while Skyline thinks it would only recoup $9000."
=> " Skyline puts the probability of repayment at 97% while Prosper only has it at 96%."
=>" both banks are aiming to earn 6%."
So, for both banks we will be making use of the formula below:
L × (1 + RER) = POR × L × (1 + IRCr) + (1 - POR) × RCD.
Where L = loan, RER = required earning rate, POR = probability of repayment, IRCr = interest rate charged and RCD = Recovery in case of default.
(A). FOR PROSPER BANK:
12000 × ( 1 + 6%) = 96% × 12000 × (1 + IRCr) + (1 - 96% ) × 10000.
SOLVING FOR IRCr, we have;
interest rate charged = 6.94%.
(B). FOR SKYLINE BANK;
12000 × (1 + 6%) = 97% × 12000 × (1 + IRcr ) + (1 - 97%) × 9000.
IRCr =6.96%.

Bob, proprietor of Bob's Burgers, would like to retire in 20 years. He plans to deposit $6500 at the end of each year for the next 20 years into an account expected to earn 7.5% compounded annually. How much will Bob have in his retirement account in 20 years immediately after making his last deposit
Answer:
$281,480
Explanation:
we need to find the future value of the annuity payments, we can use the future value of annuity formula (I couldn't find an annuity table for 7.5%):
future value = annual payment x [(1 + r)ⁿ - 1] / r
annual payment = $6,500r = 7.5%n = 20 yearsfuture value = $6,500 x [(1 + 0.075)²⁰ - 1] / 0.075 = $6,500 x 43.30468 = $281,480
The amount that Bob have in his retirement account in 20 years immediately after making his last deposit is $281,480.
Future value:Using this formula
Future value =Annual payment x [(1 + Interest rate)^Number of years - 1] / Interest rate
Where:
Annual payment = $6,500
Interest rate = 7.5% or 0.075
Number of years= 20 years
Let plug in the formula
Future value = $6,500 x [(1 + 0.075)²⁰ - 1] / 0.075
Future value=$6,500 x [(1 .075)²⁰ - 1] / 0.075
Future value=$6,500 x [(4.24785) - 1] / 0.075
Future value=$6,500 x [3.24785]/ 0.075
Future value = $6,500 x 43.30467
Future value= $281,480
Inconclusion the amount that Bob have in his retirement account in 20 years immediately after making his last deposit is $281,480.

C. $355,489
D. $352,951
Answer:
B. $354,474
Explanation:
The Overheads that are initially included in Work In Process before determination of Actual Overheads are called Applied Overheads.
Applied Overheads = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual level of Activity.
Thus said we need to first determine the Predetermined overhead rate :
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity
= $ 351,960 / 8,400 machine hours
= $41.90 per machine hour
Therefore,
Applied Overheads = $41.90 × 8,460 machine hours
= $354,474
Conclusion :
The applied manufacturing overhead for the year is closest to: $354,474
The phone bill for a corporation consists of both fixed and variable costs. Refer to the fourminusmonth data below and apply the highminuslow method to answer the question. Minutes Total Bill January 470 $ 4 comma 500 February 200 $ 2 comma 695 March 180 $ 2 comma 650 April 320 $ 2 comma 830 If the company uses 390 minutes in May, how much will the total bill be? (Round any intermediate calculations to the nearest cent and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Total cost= $3,989.65
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Minutes Total Bill
January 470 $4,500
February 200 $2,695
March 180 $2,650
April 320 $2,830
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost and fixed costs:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,500 - 2,650) / (470 - 180)
Variable cost per unit= $6.37931
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 4,500 - (6.37931*470)
Fixed costs= $1,501.72
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,650 - (6.37931*180)
Fixed costs= $1,501.72
If the company uses 390 minutes in May:
Total cost= 1,501.72 + 6.37931*390
Total cost= $3,989.65

Explanation:
McDougal Printing, Inc.
Year Ended December 31, 2019
Sales = $ 41,000,000
Gross profit margin = 76%
Operating profit margin = 39%
Net profit margin = 7%
Return on total assets = 13.3%
Return on common equity = 24%
Total asset turnover = 1.9
Average collection period = 64.3 days
Calculation of the dollar values of various income statement and balance sheet accounts
a) Gross Profit = Sales × Gross Profit margin
= $41,000,000 × 76%
= $31,160,000
b) Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross profit
= $41,000,000 - $31,160,000
= $9,840,000
c) Operating profits = Sales × Operating profit margin
= $41,000,000 × 39% = $15,990,000
d) Operating Expenses = Gross profit - Operating profit
= $31,160,000 - $15,990,000
= $15,170,000
e) Earnings available to common stockholders = Sales × Net profit margin
= $41,000,000 × 7%
= $2,870,000
f) Total assets = Sales ÷ Total asset turnover ratio
= $41,000,000 ÷ 1.9
= $21,581,947.37
g)Total common stock equity = Earnings available to common stockholders ÷ Return on common equity %
= $2,870,000 ÷ 24%
= $11,958,333.33
h) Accounts Receivable = (Sales ÷ 365 days) × Average collection period
= ($41,000,000 ÷ 365 days) × 64.3 days
= $7,222,739.73
Montclair Company earns an average contribution margin ratio of 40% on its sales. The local store manager estimates that he can increase monthly sales volume by $45,000 by spending an additional $7,000 per month for direct mail advertising. Compute the monthly increase in operating income if the manager's estimate about the increased sales volume is accurate.
Answer:
$11,000
Explanation:
The computation of the monthly increase in operating income is shown below:
= Sales volume × contribution margin ratio - additional spending done on the direct mail advertising
= $45,000 × 40% - $7,000
= $18,000 - $7,000
= $11,000
We simply applied the above formula so that the monthly increase in operating income could be determined.
Pickup Company acquired 100 percent of the voting common shares of Sedan Corporation by issuing bonds with a par value and fair value of $200,000. Immediately prior to the acquisition, Pickup reported total assets of $600,000, liabilities of $370,000, and stockholders’ equity of $230,000. At that date, Sedan reported total assets of $500,000, liabilities of $300,000, and stockholders’ equity of $200,000. Included in Sedan’s liabilities was an account payable to Pickup in the amount of $50,000, which Pickup included in its accounts receivable.
Based on the preceding information, what amount of total assets did Pickup report in its balance sheet immediately after the acquisition?
a. 1,100,000
b. 1,000,000
c. 800,000
d. 1,600,000
Answer:
c. $800,000
Explanation:
Relevant data provided
Beta reported total assets = $600,000
Fair value of investment = $200,000
The computation of total assets is shown below:-
Total assets did beta report = Beta reported total assets + Fair value of investment
= $600,000 + $200,000
= $800,000
Therefore for computing the total assets did beta report we simply added the beta reported total assets with fair value of investment.
Preston Woods has 17,500 shares of stock outstanding along with $408,000 of interest bearing debt. The market and book values of the debt are the same. The firm has sales of $697,000 and a profit margin of 6.8 percent. The tax rate is 35 percent, the debt-equity ratio is 40 percent, and the price-earnings ratio is 11.8. The firm has $130,000 of current assets of which $41,200 is cash. What is the enterprise value
Answer:
$ 926,072.80
Explanation:
The company's market capitalization can be computed using the price-earnings ratio of 11.8.
Net income(earnings after tax)=sales* profit margin=$697,000*6.8%=
$ 47,396.00
P/E ratio=market capitalization/net income
11.8=market capitalization/$ 47,396.00
market capitalization=11.8*$47,396.00
market capitalization=$ 559,272.80
Enterprise value=market capitalization+debt-cash
enterprise value=$ 559,272.80+$408,000.00-41,200=$ 926,072.80

An example of a position that a team leader would hold is:_______
a. vice president.
b. department manager.
c. group facilitator.
d. divisional manager
Using your knowledge of the different levels of management in organizations, indicate whether each statement is most likely to apply to first-level, middle-level, or top-level managers.
Answer:
Option C
group facilitator.
Explanation:
A team leader would most likely be a group facilitator. This is because a team is usually a small unit assigned with the task of achieving a specific goal. Most of the time, teams are given small and well defined tasks which are not usually as complex as that of the whole organization.
A team leader would be a group facilitator because he is expected to coordinate the efforts of a small group of people to achieve a set goal. His scope of authority and influence is only limited to that of the group.
Bergstrom accepted the return of merchandise by a customer. The merchandise had been sold on account, and payment had not been received on the date of return. The returned goods retailed for $400, but cost Bergstrom only $300. The appropriate journal entry for Bergstrom is:
Answer:
Debit Sales Return and allowances $400
Credit Accounts receivable $400
Explanation:
In the given scenario the sale was made on account. That means that no money was collected for the transaction.
So we do not consider the $300 it would cost Bergstrom.
When a good is sold on account, the accounts receivable is debited for the sale amount ($400). As the customer pays the money owed the account is credited to balance it up.
In this case however the good is being returned. So we will debit the Sales Return and Allowance account to recognise the returned item.
Accounts receivable is credited to remove the credit sale since the product has been returned.

In its first month of operations, Concord Corporation made three purchases of merchandise in the following sequence: (1) 250 units at $6, (2) 350 units at $8, and (3) 450 units at $9. Assuming there are 150 units on hand at the end of the period, compute the cost of the ending inventory under (a) the FIFO method and (b) the LIFO method. Concord Corporation uses a periodic inventory system.
Answer:
FIFO - $1350
LIFO - $900
Explanation:
Total inventory = 250 + 350 + 450 = 1050
Total inventory sold = 1050 - 150 = 900
FIFO means first in , first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold. So the ending inventory would consist of the last purchased inventory. So the cost of the ending inventory would be allocated to the 3rd purchase of inventory
150 x $9 = $1350
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold. So the ending inventory would consist of the first purchased inventory. So the cost of the ending inventory would be allocated to the 1st purchase of inventory
150 x $6 = $900

Absorption Costing Net Profit 8,200
Add Fixed Costs in Opening Stock 0
Less Fixed Costs in Closing Stock (100 × $24) (2,400)
Variable Costing Net Profit 5,800
Explanation:
Product Cost (Variable Costing) = All Variable Manufacturing Costs
= $27 + $46 + $4
= $77
Product Cost (Absorption Costing) = All Variable Manufacturing Costs + All Fixed Manufacturing Costs
= $77 + ($199,200/8,300)
= $77 + $24
= $101
Income Statements
Non Manufacturing Costs are treated as a Periodic Cost in Absorption Costing Income Statement
Whilst Both Fixed Manufacturing Costs and Non Manufacturing Costs are treated as a Periodic Cost in Variable Costing Income Statement.
Reconciliation
The difference in Profit is due to Fixed Cost component absorbed in Absorption Costing.

Stritch Company is trying to decide how many units of merchandise to order each month. The company's policy is to have 20% of the next month's sales in inventory at the end of each month. Projected sales for August, September, and October are 24,000 units, 14,000 units, and 34,000 units, respectively. How many units must be purchased in September
Answer:
Purchases budget = 18,000 units
Explanation:
Purchases budget = Sales + closing inventory - opening inventory
Closing inventory for September = 20% of august sales = 20% × 34,000=6,800
Opening inventor for September = 20%× September = 20% × 14,000= 2800
Purchases budget for September = 14,000 + 6,800 - 2,800 = 18,000
Purchases budget = 18,000 units
