Answer:
Cost of goods manufactured is $323,500
Cost of goods sold is $337,900
Explanation:
Given:
Materials used in product = $120,000
Advertising expense = $45,000
Depreciation on plant = $60,000
Property taxes on plant = $14,000
Property taxes on store = $7,500
Delivery expense = $21,000
Labor costs of assembly-line workers = $110,000
Sales commissions = $35,000
Factory supplies used = $23,000
Salaries paid to sales clerks = $50,000
Work in process inventory was $12,000 at January 1 and $15,500 at December 31.
Finished goods inventory was $60,000 at January 1 and $45,600 at December 31.
(a) Cost of goods manufactured = Materials used in product + Depreciation on plant + Labor costs of assembly-line workers + Property taxes on plant + Factory supplies used + Beginning work in process - ending work in process
= $120,000 + $60,000 + $110,000 + $14,000 + $23,000 + $12,000 - $15,500
= $323,500
(b) Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured + opening finished goods inventory - Closing finished goods inventory
= $323,500 + $60,000 - $45,600
= $337,900
Based on the given information,
The cost of goods manufactured is $323,500
cost of goods sold $337,900
Calculations are as follows
(a) Cost of goods manufactured =Depreciation on plant + Materials used in product +Property taxes on plant + Labor costs of assembly-line workers + Factory supplies used + Beginning work in process - ending work in process
= $120,000 + $60,000 + $110,000 + $14,000 + $23,000 + $12,000 - $15,500
= $323,500
(b) Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured + opening finished goods inventory - Closing finished goods inventory
= $323,500 + $60,000 - $45,600
= $337,900

A scandal involving Apple was reported in 2014 at a manufacturing building in China. The building which was owned by Catcher Technology Co., manufactures metal iPad covers for iPhones. Some findings included hiring discrimination, locked safety exits, excessive work hours, and also unpaid overtime each month totalling about $290,000 in owed wages. The factory was reported to have been dumping its industrial fluids and waste into nearby rivers, and also not providing proper toxic equipment for the employees.
Human rights of these people saw n those area are being abused by having them exposed to pollution, which can lead to lung diseases.

A company is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $90,000. Predicted annual cash inflows from this investment are $36,000 (year 1), $30,000 (year 2), $18,000 (year 3), $12,000 (year 4) and $6,000 (year 5). The payback period is:
Answer:
3.5 years
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes to recover the amount invested from the cumulative cash flows.
The amount invested is $-90,000
In the first year , $-90,000 + $36,000 = $-54,000 is recovered
In the second year, $-54,000 + $30,000 = $-24,000 is recovered
In the third year, $-24,000 + $18,000 = $-6,000 is recovered
In the fourth year, $-6,000 + $12,000 = $6000 is recovered.
By the fourth year, the total amount invested is recovered as the cash flow turns postive
Pay back period = 3 years + $6000/$12,000 = 3.5 years

the cash realizable value of the accounts receivable account:
before the write off = $653,700 - $24,200 = $629,500after the write off = ($653,700 - $4,245) - ($24,300 - $4,245) = $629,500The net balance of the account does not change because the allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra asset account that already decreased the accounts receivable balance.
A company currently pays a dividend of $3.4 per share (D0 = $3.4). It is estimated that the company's dividend will grow at a rate of 17% per year for the next 2 years, and then at a constant rate of 5% thereafter. The company's stock has a beta of 1.3, the risk-free rate is 6.5%, and the market risk premium is 1.5%. What is your estimate of the stock's current price? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Answer:
Current price of stock =$128.06
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
The model is given as
P = D× g/(r-g)
P- price, D- dividend payable in year 1, r -cost of equity, g - growth rate in dividend
Cost of equity
The cost of equity can be calculated using the Capital Asset Model (CAPM).
Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
Ke =? , Rf- 6.5%, (Rm-Rf)- 1.5, β- 1.3
Ke=6.5% + 1.3× (1.5)= 8.45%
Stock price
PV of dividend in year 1 = 3.4× 1.17× 1.0845^(-1)=3.668
PV of dividend in year 2 = 3.4× 1.17^2× 1.0845^(-2) = 3.9572
PV of dividend in year 3
This will be done in two(2) steps:
Step 1- PV in year 2 terms
3.4× 1.17^2× 1.05/(0.0845- 0.05)= 141.651
Step 2- PV in year 0
141.6513913× 1.0845^(-2)= 120.4375
Current piece of stock = 3.668 + 3.957 + 120.4375 = 128.062
Current price of stock =$128.062

Firms HD and LD are identical except for their level of debt and the interest rates they pay on debt—HD has more debt and pays a higher interest rate on that debt. Based on the data given below, what is the difference between the two firms' ROEs? Applicable to Both Firms Firm HD's Data Firm LD's Data Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30% EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10% Tax rate 35%
Answer:
2.41%
Explanation:
The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-
Particulars Firm HD Firm LD
Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30%
EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10%
Tax rate 35%
Debt $100 $60
Interest $12 $6
($100 × 12%) ($60 × 10%)
Taxable income $28 $36
($40- $12) ($40 - $6)
Net income $18.2 $22.1
$28 × (1 - 0.35) $36 × (1 - 0.35)
Equity $100 $140
($200 - $100) ($200 - $60)
ROE 18.2% 15.79%
($18.2 ÷ $100) ($22.1 ÷ $140)
Taxable income = EBIT - Interest
Net income = Income - Taxable income
Equity = Assets - Debt
ROE = Net income ÷ Equity
Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD
= 18.2% - 15.79%
= 2.41%
So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.
A couple borrows $200,000 for a mortgage that requires fixed monthly payments over 30 consecutive years. The first monthly payment is due in one month. If the interest rate on the mortgage is 5%, which of the following comes closest to the monthly payment?
When would the calculation of the effective annual interest rate be most useful?
a. When comparing two investments with different annuity amounts
b. When comparing two investments with different par values
c. When comparing two investments that end at different points in time
d. When comparing two investments that compound differently within a year
e. When comparing two investments that have different inherent risk
Answer:
(a) The monthly payment is $ 1,073.64
(b) The correct option is option D. When comparing two investments that compound differently within a year.
Explanation:
Monthly payment = $1,073.64
Using financial calculator BA II Plus - Input details:
$
I/Y = Rate = 5/12 = 0.416667
FV = Future value = $0
N = Total payment term 25*12 = 360
PV = Present value of loan -$200,000
CPT > PMT = Monthly Payment $1,073.64
1. The monthly payment by the couple is $1,073.64.
2. The calculation of the effective annual interest rate would be most useful d. When comparing two investments that compound differently within a year.
Data and Calculations:
The monthly payment is determined as follows:
(# of periods) = 360 months (30 x 12)
I/Y (Interest per year) = 5%
PV (Present Value) = $200,000
FV (Future Value) = $0
Results:
Monthly Payment = $1,073.64
Sum of all periodic payments = $386,511.57
Total Interest = $186,511.57
Thus, the couple would pay $1,073.64 monthly for 30 years in order to pay off the mortgage of $200,000 at 5% interest.

Cho's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Miami that sells gluten-free pizzas. Cho's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the three ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Cho signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the three ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Cho's kitchen cannot fit more than three ovens, Cho cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run. However, Cho's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Cho lets them know how many workers she needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are __________ inputs, and the ovens are __________ inputs.
Answer: Variable ... Fixed
Explanation:
In the short run, Variable Inputs or costs are known as those which can be changed and their quantities can be varied. In this scenario, the employees that Cho's uses can be varied and so are the Variable Inputs.
Similarly, those costs that cann ot be changed or varied in the short run are rightly known as Fixed Inputs. Cho's Kitchen cannot take more than 3 ovens and also she has already signed a lease for them. These costs cannot be changed and so make the oven a Fixed Input.
It is worthy of note that in the long term, all Costs are considered Variable.

Explanation:
The annual fixed costs for a plant are $100,000, and the variable costs are $140,000 at 70% utilization of available capacity, with net sales of $280,000. What is the breakeven point in units of production if the selling price per unit is $40
Answer:
With the production 5000 units the plant will achieve it's break even point
Explanation:
Solution
The break even points is the point in a business when the total revenue is exactly the same to the equal expenditure.
The formula is given below:
D' = Cy/(p-cy)
Here
D' =the demand at break even point
p = the selling price
cy= the variable costs per unit
Cy = the total fixed cost
Thus
The total cost of the plant = $100,000
The variable costs = $140,000
The net sales = $280,000
The selling price per unit = $40
The total no units sold per year is given as :
Annual sale (units) = Total sales/Sale per unit
Now,
By the method of substitution we have the following.
Annual sale (units) = $280,000/40
=7000 units/year
The formula for variable cost per unit cy is
cy = Cy/Annual sale (units)
Now,
We substitute in the above equation the value of Cy as $140,000 and annual sale as 7000 units/per year
cy = $140,000/7000
=$20 units
For the demand at break even point D', we have the following:
D' = Cy/(p-cy)
We We substitute in the above equation the value of Cy as $100,000 and p as $40/unit and cy as $20 /unit
D' = 100000/(40 -20)
=5000 units/year

The IRS determined that the year 2 joint return and Crewella’s separate year 3 tax return understated Crewella’s self-employment income, causing the joint return year 2 tax liability to be understated by $12,700 and Crewella’s year 3 separate return tax liability to be understated by $7,350. The IRS also assessed penalties and interest on both of these tax returns. Try as it might, the IRS has not been able to locate Crewella, but they have been able to find Jasper. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.)
a. What amount of tax can the IRS require Jasper to pay for the Dahvill’s year 2 joint return?
Amount of Tax:__________________
b. What amount of tax can the IRS require Jasper to pay for Crewella’s year 3 separate tax return?
Amount of Tax:__________________
Answer: a. $12,700
b. $0
Explanation:
a. As Jasper and Crewella Dahvill filed joint tax returns in Year 2, both of them are joint and severally liable for any errors that may arise in the filing. The IRS could not find Crewella but they could find Jasper and as he is liable as well, he will have to pay the full amount that Crewella understated their tax liability by.
b. In year 3, Jasper and Crewella Dahvill had a strained relationship and filed their returns separately. As a result Jasper is not liable for any errors that will arise from Crewella's tax returns filing including the understatement of tax liability.
(LaVilla) LaVilla is a village in the Italian Alps. Given its enormous popularity among
Swiss, German, Austrian, and Italian skiers, all of its beds are always booked in the winter
season and there are, on average, 1,200 skiers in the village. On average, skiers stay in
LaVilla for 10 days.
a. How many new skiers are arriving—on average—in LaVilla every day?
b. A study done by the largest hotel in the village has shown that skiers spend on average $50 per person on the first day and $30 per person on each additional day in local
restaurants. The study also forecasts that—due to increased hotel prices—the average
length of stay for the 2003/2004 season will be reduced to five days. What will be the
percentage change in revenues of local restaurants compared to last year (when skiers
still stayed for 10 days)? Assume that hotels continue to be fully booked!
Q2.6 (Highway) While driving home for the holidays, you can’t seem to get Little’s Law out of
Answer:
a) 120 skiers per day
b) 6.25% increase in revenue
Explanation:
a) If the average skier stays 10 days, the average turnover is 1/10 of the skiers per day, or 1200/10 = 120 skiers per day.
__
b) For a stay of n days, the average skier spends ...
50 +(n-1)30 = 20 +30n
and the average spending per day is ...
(20 +30n)/n = (20/n) +30
So, for a 10-day stay, the average skier spends in restaurants ...
20/10 +30 = 32 . . . . per day
And for a 5-day stay, the average skier will spend ...
20/5 +30 = 34 . . . . per day
The change in restaurant revenue is expected to be ...
(34 -32)/32 × 100% = 2/32 × 100% = 6.25%
Restaurant revenues will be 6.25% higher compared to last year.

The Digby company will sell 100 units (x1000) of capacity from their Daft product line. Each unit of capacity is worth $6 plus $4 per automation rating. The Digby company will sell the capacity for 35% off. How much do they receive when the capacity is sold
Answer: $2,210,000
Explanation:
The company will sell at full cost per Automation rating which is not provided.
The Comp-XM Inquirer shows this Automation rating to be 7.
The Total Cost per Automation rating is,
= $6 + ($4 * 7)
= $34
Selling 100,000 units gives
= 100,000 * 34
= $3,400,000
Selling at 35% off.
= 3,400,000 * ( 1 - 0.35)
= $2,210,000
Homestead Jeans Co. has an annual plant capacity of 67,000 units, and current production is 45,700 units. Monthly fixed costs are $54,400, and variable costs are $30 per unit. The present selling price is $40 per unit. On November 12 of the current year, the company received an offer from Dawkins Company for 19,600 units of the product at $33 each. Dawkins Company will market the units in a foreign country under its own brand name. The additional business is not expected to affect the domestic selling price or quantity of sales of Homestead Jeans Co.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated November 12 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the Dawkins order. Refer to the lists of Labels and Amount Descriptions for the exact wording of the answer choices for text entries. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign. If there is no amount or an amount is zero, enter "0". A colon (:) will automatically appear if required.

Answer:
Homestead Jeans Co.
a) Differential Analysis dated November 12
Options Reject (Alternative 1) Special Order Accept (Alternative 2)
Units sold 45,700 19,600 65,300
Revenue $1,828,000 $646,800 $2,474,800
Variable Cost -1,371,000 -588,000 -1959,000
Contribution $457,000 $58,800 $515,800
Fixed Costs 652,800 $0 652,800
Net Income/(Loss) -$195,800 $58,800 -$137,000
b) Accepting this order will reduce operating loss from $195,800 to $137,000, making a difference of $58,800. The reason is that the special order will make a contribution towards offsetting the fixed cost with a sum of $58,800.
c) Minimum price per unit to produce positive contribution margin:
The contribution margin per unit = Selling price minus variable cost per unit = $40 - $30 = $10 per unit.
To produce positive contribution margin, selling price must be more than variable cost. Selling price will be at least $31.
Therefore, the minimum price per unit to produce positive contribution is $31.
Explanation:
a) In differential analysis, only relevant costs are considered. Fixed costs are regarded as sunk and therefore irrelevant in making any differential decision.
b) The revenue is a function of selling price and quantity sold. While the variable costs equal units sold multiplied by the unit variable cost.
Use the following information to answer the question: There are three firms in an economy: X, Y, and Z. Firm X buys $400 worth of goods from Firm Y, and $200 worth of goods from Firm Z to produce 250 units of output at $3 per unit. Firm Y buys $250 worth of goods from Firm X and $250 worth of goods from Firm Z to produce 250 units of output at $4 per unit. Firm Z buys $100 worth of goods from Firm X and $500 worth of goods from Firm Y to produce 500 units at $2 per unit. Given this information, using the Value Added approach to eliminating intermediate goods and services (in order to avoid double-counting), what is the economy's GDP
Answer:
$1,050
Explanation:
Value Added Approach to calculating the GDP avoids double counting by adding only the value addition of all firms in an economy to obtain the GDP. Value addition for each firm can be calculated by deducting the intermediate purchase of each firm from its intermediate sales as follows:
Firm X value addition = ($250 * 3) - $400 - $200 = $750 - $600 = $150
Firm Y value addition = ($250 * 4) - $250 - $250 = $1,000 - $500 = $500
Firm Z value addition = (500 * 2) - $100 - $500 = $1,000 - $600 = $400
Therefore, we have:
The economy's GDP = $150 + $500 + $400 = $1,050
Sloan Corporation is considering new equipment. The equipment can be purchased from an overseas supplier for $3,831. The freight and installation costs for the equipment are $554. If purchased, annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $415 per year over the four-year useful life of the equipment. Alternatively, Sloan can lease the equipment from a domestic supplier for $1,745 per year for four years, with no additional costs.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated December 3 to determine whether Sloan should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the equipment. Refer to the lists of Labels and Amount Descriptions for the exact wording of the answer choices for text entries. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign. If there is no amount or an amount is zero, enter "0". A colon () will automatically appear if required. (Hint: This is a "lease or buy" decision, which must be analyzed from the perspective of the equipment user, as opposed to the equipment owner.)
b. Determine whether the Sloan should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the equipment.
Answer:
Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Differential
Lease Buy Amount
Purchase cost $0 $3,831 ($3,831)
Freight and $0 $554 ($554)
installation costs
Annual repairs and $0 $1,660 ($1,600)
maintenance costs
Lease costs $6,980 $0 $6,980
Total costs $6,980 $6,045 $935
The equipment should be purchased instead of leased because the costs of purchasing and maintenance costs are lower than lease costs.
Explanation:
A differential analysis is carried out to determine whether alternative projects' revenues and costs are higher. This way you can determine which project or investment costs less or generates higher profits.
Global Commerce Corporation purchased trading debt investments for $114,000 on December 31, 2018. There is a decrease of $5,800 in the fair value of the trading debt investments by the end of the year 2019. Which of the following is the correct journal entry?
A. Trading Debt Investments 5,800
Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5,800
B. Fair Value
Adjustment–Trading 5,800
Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5,800
C. Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5.800
Retained Earnings 5,800
D. Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5,800
Fair Value
Adjustment–Trading 5,800
Answer:
The correct option is D,
Unrealized Holding Loss-Trading $5,800
Fair Value Adjustment–Trading $5,800
Explanation:
The decrease in fair value by $5,800 means that the investment has potentially lost $5,800 in value which is credited to fair value adjustment while the debit is posted to unrealized holding loss-trading account.
The loss cannot be realized in retained earnings since the loss is yet to be realized as the investment has not been sold for cash.
The realized loss or gain would be determined when investment is sold for cash.

Calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency.
Answer:
The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.219
Explanation:
In order to calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency we would have to calculate the following formula:
manufacturing cycle efficiency=value added time/throughput time
value added time= 40 min
throughput time=Process time+Inspection time+movie time+Queue time
throughput time=40+5+15+2+120
throughput time=182 min
Therefore, manufacturing cycle efficiency=40/182
manufacturing cycle efficiency=0.219
The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.219

You have been asked to analyze the bids for 200 polished disks used in solar panels. These bids have been submitted by three suppliers: Thailand Polishing, India Shine, and Sacramento Glow. Thailand Polishing has submitted a bid of 3,000 baht. India Shine has submitted a bid of 3,000 rupee. Sacramento Glow has submitted a bid of $3,000. You check with your local bank and find that $1=10 baht , and $1=8 rupee. The final destination for the disks is New Delhi, India and there is a 35% import tax. Thailand Polishing and Sacramento Glow are based outside of India and India Shine is based in India.A .What is the price per unit in dollars, including import tax for Thailand polishing?B. What is the price per unit for India Shine?C. What is the price per unit for Sacramento Glow?
Answer:
(a) Thailand polishing price per unit is $2.03
(b) India shine price per unit is $1.88
(c) Sacramento glow price per unit is $15
Explanation:
(a) Thailand polishing:
Thailand polishing has submitted a quote of 3000 baht
$1 = 10 bhat
1 bhat = $ 0.1
Thailand polishing submitted bid = 3000 × $0.1 =$300
Import tax = 35%
Total cost = 1.35 × 300 = $405
Cost per unit = 405 ÷ 200 = $2.03
(b) India shine:
India shine has submitted a bid of 3000 rupees
$1 = 8 rupees
1 Rupee = $0.125
India shine submitted bid = 3000 × 0.125 = $375
Price per unit = 375 ÷ 200 = $1.88
(c) Sacramento Glow submitted bid = $3,000
price per unit = $3,000 ÷ 200
= $15
