On December 31st, Datton, Inc. has cost of goods sold of $ 550000, ending inventory is $ 101000, beginning inventory is $ 120000; and average accounts payable is $ 105000. What is the accounts payable turnover expressed as days? (Round any intermediary calculations to two decimal places, and round your final answer to the nearest day.) A. 72 B. 44 C. 117 D. 67
Answer:
72 days
Explanation:
The computation of the accounts payable turnover ratio is shown below:
Accounts payable turnover ratio = Total Purchases ÷ Average Accounts payable
As we know that
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + total purchases - Ending inventory
i.e
Total Purchases = Cost of goods sold + Ending Inventory – Beginning Inventory
= $550,000 + $101,000 - $120,000
= $531,000
So, the account payable turnover ratio is
= $531,000 ÷ $105,000
= 5.06 times
Now in days it is
= 365 days ÷ 5.06 times
= 72 days

As a result of this budget report, Joe was called into the president’s office and congratulated on his fine sales performance. He was reprimanded, however, for allowing his costs to get out of control. Joe knew something was wrong with the performance report that he had been given. However, he was not sure what to do, and comes to you for advice.
Prepare a budget report based on flexible budget data to help Joe. (List variable costs before fixed costs.)
Answer:
SORIA COMPANY
Clothing Department's Flexible Budgeted Report:
The report is attached herein.
The variable costs were flexed using 11,000 units sales volume instead of the budgeted 7,900 units as follows.
Workings:
1. Sales Commission = $2,054/7,900 x 11,000 = $2,860
2. Advertising = $869/7,900 x 11,000 = $770
3. Travel Expense = $3,476/7,900 x 11,000 = $4,840
4. Free Samples = $1,659/7,900 x 11,000 = $2,310
The idea is to compute the flexed amounts using unit budgeted cost (e.g. Travel Expense $3,476/7,900) to multiply the flexed volume (11,000).
The fixed costs were not similarly flexed. They are assumed to have completely displayed their nature as fixed irrespective of the level of activity or the sales volume.
Explanation:
A flexible budget is one that changes in volume according to the level of activity. It is not static. This means that the budgeted units change to the level of the actual units. This flexing affects all variable costs based on the now flexed volume while the fixed costs remain since they do not vary according to the level of activity. For example, Sales Commission could be budgeted at $400 under 10,000 volume. If the actual sales volume is 12,000, the Sales Commission has to be flexed to $480 ($400/10,000 x 12,000) to reflect the actual volume performance. Then the flexed budgeted cost is compared to the actual cost to obtain the variance or difference. Actual performance can then be compared based on like terms and not based on unlike terms.
This is the advantage of flexible budgets. They allow a manager's performance to be evaluated based on variable volumes of activity instead of static volumes.

Explanation:
Shirt Company is considering adding a new product line, a cloth shopping bag with custom screen printing that will be sold to grocery stores. If the current market price of cloth shopping bags is $2.25 and the company desires a net profit of 60%, what is the target cost? The company estimates the full product cost of the cloth bags will be $ 0.80. Should the company manufacture the cloth bags? Why or why not?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The current market price of cloth shopping bags is $2.25
Target profit= 60%
First, we need to calculate the cost per unit to reach the target cost.
Target cost= selling price*(1-targert profit)
Target cost= 2.25*0.4= $0.9
Now, if $0.8 is the unitary total cost:
Cost= (0.8*100)/2.25= 35.5%
Profit= 100 - 35.5= 64.5%
The company should manufacture the product because it reaches the target profit per unit.
Red Melon has preferred stock that pays a dividend of $5.00 per share and sells for $100 per share. It is considering issuing new shares of preferred stock. These new shares incur an underwriting (or flotation) cost of 1.70%. How much will Red Melon pay to the underwriter on a per-share basis
Answer:
$1.7 per Share
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
Dividend paid = $5 per share
Selling price = $100 per share
Underwriting cost = 1.7%
We can calculate the amount pay to the underwriter by using following formula:-
Red Melon Pay to the Underwriter = Selling Price Per Share × Underwriter Cost
= $100 × 1.70%
= $1.7 per Share
On March 1, 2022, Blossom Company acquired real estate, on which it planned to construct a small office building, by paying $86,000 in cash. An old warehouse on the property was demolished at a cost of $9,400; the salvaged materials were sold for $1,940. Additional expenditures before construction began included $1,440 attorney’s fee for work concerning the land purchase, $5,100 real estate broker’s fee, $8,940 architect’s fee, and $15,200 to put in driveways and a parking lot.
Required:
(a) Determine the amount to be reported as the cost of the land.
Answer:
Cost of The Land = $86,000 + $9,400 - $1,940 + $1,440 + $5,100
= $100,000
Therefore, Cost of The Land is $100,000.
Explanation:
cost of constructing the building = $86,000
cost of demolishing old warehouse = $9,400
cost of salvaged materials = $1,440
Additional expenditures:
Attorney's fee = $5,100
Architects's fee = $8,940
Driveways and parking lot fee = $15,200
Answer:
Cost of The Land = $86,000 + $9,400 - $1,940 + $1,440 + $5,100
= $100,000
$100,000.
Explanation:
cost of constructing the building = $86,000
cost of demolishing old warehouse = $9,400
cost of salvaged materials = $1,440
Additional expenditures:
Attorney's fee = $5,100
Architects's fee = $8,940
Driveways and parking lot fee = $15,200
Often, through government-supported programs, students may obtain "bargain" interest rates such as 6% or 8% to attend college. Frequently, payments are not due and interest does not accumulate until the student stops attending college. A student has borrowed $42 comma 000 at an annual interest rate of 6.4%. Calculate the amount of interest due 6 months after the student must begin payments.
Final answer:
The interest due 6 months after starting payments on a $42,000 loan at an annual rate of 6.4% is $1,344, based on simple interest calculations.
Explanation:
The student has borrowed $42,000 at an annual interest rate of 6.4%. To calculate the amount of interest due 6 months after the student must begin payments, we must assume that the interest is simple interest (although many student loans actually use compound interest). The formula for simple interest is I = PRT, where I is the interest, P is the principal amount, R is the rate of interest per year, and T is the time in years. In this case:
P = $42,000R = 6.4% annual interest rate, which is 0.064 when expressed as a decimalT = 6 months, which is 0.5 yearsTo calculate the interest, multiply these figures:
I = $42,000 × 0.064 × 0.5 = $1,344
Therefore, the amount of interest due 6 months after the student begins payments is $1,344.

1) The Herfindahl index Suppose that three firms make up the entire tire manufacturing industry. One has a 50% market share, and the other two have a 25% market share each.
The Herfindahl index of this industry is _________.
2) Tread Tough, one of the firms with a 25% market share in the tire manufacturing industry, leaves the market.
This would cause the Herfindahl index for the industry to _________.
3) The largest possible value of the Herfindahl index is 10,000 because:
a) An index of 10,000 corresponds to 100 firms with a 1% market share each.
b) An industry with an index higher than 10,000 is automatically regulated by the Justice Department.
c) An index of 10,000 corresponds to a monopoly firm with a 100% market share.
Answer:
0.375 = 37% = 3700
Increases
c) An index of 10000 corresponds to a monopoly firm with 100% market share
Explanation:
The HHI index is found by summimg the square of the concentration ratios of firms
(0.5) ^2 + (0.25)^2 + (0.25)^2 = 0.25 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 = 0.375 = 37% = 3700
If a firm leaves the industry, the hhi index increases because the market power would exist between only two firms.
If HHI is equal to 10,000, it means that the firm is a monopoly. It means the firm has 100% of the market share.

A customer owns 1,000 shares of XYZZ stock, purchased at $40 per share. The stock is now at $45, and the customer has become neutral on the stock, but believes that the stock still has good long term growth potential. The client asks her representative for a "conservative recommendation" that will give her a positive portfolio return. The client should be told to:
Answer:
The answer is "Sell 10 XYZZ 45 Call-Terms"
Explanation:
The purchaser bought the product at $40, and it is now selling at $45. The purchaser now is on product-neutral but feels it's a strong investment throughout the longterm. The product will now not be sold Unless the client offers calls against both the stock price (put option writer), the investor can generate additional profit revenue in the investment strategy.
It also a balanced approach on the profits, that is the danger here is that the product will also be called off when the product rises quickly and the purchaser will not receive the overhead profit when the product decreases, the consumer pays on both the product, offset by both the prices we pay. Loading puts will also generate high cash. If instead, the product grows, its calls expire and the product is also owned by the purchaser, but when the stock goes down, its limited sales will be executed, requiring the people to purchase the product. So, the purchaser will end up losing twice as quickly in a down market! That's not a "conservative" strategy.he Gilbert Department Store uses the conventional retail inventory method. The following information is available for the month of August 2021: Cost Retail Beginning Inventory 30,000 45,000 Cost of Goods Available for Sale $150,000 $180,000 Net Markups 25,000 Net Markdowns 10,000 Sales 170,000 What was the inventory using the conventional method as of August 31, 2021
Answer:
$52,500
Explanation:
As per given data
Cost Retail
Beginning Inventory $30,000 $45,000
Cost of Goods Available for Sale $150,000 $180,000
Net Markups $25,000
Net Markdowns $10,000
Sales $170,000
As we do not have the ending inventory value, First we need to calculate it. We will make the selling price of all the available inventory at retail value then deducting the actual sales we will have the retail value of available stock. By applying the cost to retail ratio we can calculate the value of ending Inventory.
Cost Retail
Beginning Inventory $30,000 $45,000
Cost of Goods Available for Sale $150,000 $180,000
Total Goods Available for sale $180,000 $225,000
+ Net Markups $25,000
- Net Markdowns $10,000
Sales price of Goods $180,000 $240,000
- Sales $170,000
Ending Inventory at retail $70,000
Now calculate the cost to retail ratio to determine the ending value of inventory at conventional inventory method.
Cost to retail ratio = ( Sale price of goods at cost / Sale price of goods at retail ) x 100 = ( $180,000 / $240,000) x 100 = 75%
Value of Ending inventory at conventional method = $70,000 x 75% = $52,500
You manage a pension fund that promises to pay out $10 million to its contributors in five years. You buy $7472582 worth of par-value bonds that make annual coupon payments of 6% and mature in five years. Right after you make the purchase, the interest rate on same-risk bonds decreases to 4.5%. If the rate does not change again and you reinvest the coupon payments that you receive in same-risk bonds, how much will you fall short of the money that you promised
Answer :
Shortfall of money = $74,598
Explanation :
As per the data given in the question,
Par value of bond = $7,472,582
To determine the future value of annual coupon payments received, we will use FV of annuity's formula
FV of Annuity = P [(1 + r)^n- 1 ÷ r]
where,
P = Periodic payment
r = interest rate
n = Time period
here P = 6% of $7,472,582 = $448,354.92
r = 4.50%
n = 5 years
FV of Annuity = $448,354.92 × [(1 + 4.50%)^5 - 1) ÷ 4.50%]
=$2,452,820
Shortfall at the end of 5 years is
= $10,000,000 - $7,472,582 - $2,452,820
= $74,598

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $30 per unit
Direct labor $45 per unit
Variable manufacturing overhead $20 per unit
Under the variable costing method, the unit product cost is calculated using the direct material, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead:
Unit product cost= 30 + 45 + 20= $95
A company purchased land for $92,000 cash. Commissions of $13,000, property taxes of $13,500, and title insurance of $4,200 were also incurred. The $13,500 in property taxes includes $7,400 in back taxes paid by the company on behalf of the seller and $6,100 due for the current year after the purchase date. For what amount should the company record the land? a. $112,400. b. $116,600. c. $122,700. d. $92,000.
Answer:
The answer is option (b) $116,600.00
Explanation:
Solution
The Cash price =$92,000.00
Commission on purchase of land $ = 13,000.00
Property taxes =$7,400.00
Title insurance is=$ 4,200.00
Total cost of land to be recorded is =$116,600.00
The property taxes paid for back date will be added to the land cost but not $6100 which is related to present year.
The property taxes $6100 will be filled to income statement in present year.
Title insurance and commission will be included to cost of land.
Final answer:
The company should record the land at $116,600, which includes the purchase price, commissions, title insurance, and back taxes paid.
Explanation:
When recording the purchase of land on the company's books, all expenditures that are necessary to get the land ready for use should be included in the land's cost. The correct value of the land should include the cash paid for the land itself, commissions, property taxes (which are part of the land acquisition costs), and title insurance. Current property taxes should not be included as they are an expense related to the period after purchase.
The initial purchase price of the land is $92,000. Commissions were $13,000, and title insurance was $4,200. Of the property taxes paid, only the back taxes of $7,400 are considered part of the acquisition cost because they relate to the period before the acquisition. Therefore, the company should record the land at $92,000 + $13,000 + $4,200 + $7,400 = $116,600.

What is operating income when using absorption costing?
Answer:
Net operating income= 43,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $80
Production= 3,000 units
Sales= 2,750 units
Variable manufacturing costs $38 per unit
Variable marketing costs $ 2 per unit
Fixed manufacturing costs $60,000 per month
Administrative expenses, all fixed $12,000 per month
Ending inventories:
Finished goods 750 units
Under the absorption costing method, the cost of goods sold includes the fixed manufacturing overhead. We need to calculate the unitary fixed overhead:
Fixed unitary overhead= 60,000/3,000= $20 per unit
Income statement:
Sales= 2,750*80= 220,000
COGS= 2,750*(38 + 20)= (159,500)
Gross profit= 60,500
Variable marketing= 2,750*2= (5,500)
Administrative expenses= (12,000)
Net operating income= 43,000
The operating income using absorption costing for Barry's Hobbies is [tex]\( {\$63,500} \)[/tex].
To calculate operating income using absorption costing, we need to account for both fixed and variable manufacturing costs that are absorbed into the cost of goods sold (COGS).
Step-by-Step Calculation:
1. Calculate Total Variable Costs:
- Variable manufacturing costs per unit: [tex]\( \$38 \)[/tex]
- Variable marketing costs per unit: [tex]\( \$2 \)[/tex]
- Total variable cost per unit: [tex]\( \$38 + \$2 = \$40 \)[/tex]
- Total variable manufacturing costs for 2,750 units sold:
[tex]\[ 2,750 \times \$38 = \$104,500 \][/tex]
- Total variable marketing costs for 2,750 units sold:
[tex]\[ 2,750 \times \$2 = \$5,500 \][/tex]
- Total variable costs:
[tex]\[ \$104,500 + \$5,500 = \$110,000 \][/tex]
2. Calculate Fixed Manufacturing and Administrative Costs:
- Fixed manufacturing costs (budgeted and actual): [tex]\( \$60,000 \)[/tex]
- Fixed administrative costs: [tex]\( \$12,000 \)[/tex]
- Total fixed costs:
[tex]\[ \$60,000 + \$12,000 = \$72,000 \][/tex]
3. Calculate Total Manufacturing Costs (absorption costing):
- Total variable manufacturing costs: [tex]\( \$104,500 \)[/tex]

Willetta Company purchases inventory for $22,000 with terms 2/10, n/30. It then returns $3,200 of the inventory purchased to the supplier and also receives an allowance for defective inventory of $220. The company pays the amount due within the discount period. What is the amount of the discount that will be taken? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
a. $320
b. $436
c. $372
Answer:
c. $372
Explanation:
Terms of sale 2/10, n/30 means there is a discount of 2% is available on payment of due amount within discount period of 10 days after sale with net credit period of 30 days.
As per given data
Purchases = $22,000
Sales return = $3,200
Defective Allowance = $220
Receivable = $22,000 - $3,200 - $220 = $18,580
As the payment is made within discount period, so discount will be availed on the amount due
Discount = $18,580 x 2% = $372
Phillip Morris USA is concerned about its declining consumer base. Every year more Americans quit smoking cigarettes and fewer and fewer are taking up the habit. They are considering buying a smokeless tobacco company and a cigar manufacturing company so that they are not entirely dependent on cigarette smokers for revenue. Furthermore, there is a slight increase in the number of people using smokeless tobacco products. If Phillip Morris does decide to acquire these companies, what type of corporate level business strategy will they be engaging in? 1. Cost-leadership 2. Focused differentiation 3. Related diversification 4. Vertical integration 5. Competitive tactics
Answer:
2. Focused differentiation
Explanation:
The business strategy of focused differentiation consists in increasing the amount of business sectors that a company operates.
In this example, Phillip Morris is using focused differentiation because it is adding 2 new business sectors to its operation, with the goal of increasing revenue. The first expansion is in the smokeless tobacco sector, and the second expansion is in the cigar manufacturing sector.
In other words, Phillip morris is trying to make smokeless tobacco products, and cigar products, focusing its differentiation strategy on the sectors it believes will produce the greatest amount of revenue.
Salvatori, Inc., manufactures and sells two products: Product A4 and Product Q5.

The master budget of Windy Co. shows that the planned activity level for next year is expected to be 50,000 machine hours. At this level of activity, the following manufacturing overhead costs are expected:
Indirect labor Machine supplies Indirect materials Depreciation on factory building Total manufacturing overhead
$720,000 180,000 210,000 150,000 $1,260,000
A flexible budget for a level of activity of 60,000 machine hours would show total manufacturing overhead costs of:_______
a. $1,482,000.b. $1,260,000.c. $1,512,000.d. $1,362,000.
Answer:
a. $1,482,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total manufacturing overhead cost is shown below;
But before that first we need to do following calculations
The Variable overhead for 50000 machine hours is
= $1,260,000 - $150,000
= $1,110,000
As depreciation is not variable cost so it would be excluded
Now for 60,000 machine hours, the variable overhead is
= ($1,110,000 ÷ 50,000) × 60,000
= $1,332,000
And, the fixed overhead is $150,000 i.e depreciation expense
So, the total manufacturing overhead cost is
= Fixed manufacturing overhead + variable manufacturing overhead
= $150,000 + $1,332,000
= $1,482,000

Goods held on consignment from Florence Company with a cost $16,300. Compute the amount that should be reported for inventory on Ayayai Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2022.
Answer:
The amount that should be reported for inventory on Ayayai Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2022 is $1,504,800
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount that should be reported for inventory on Ayayai Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2022 we would have to make the following calculation:
amount that should be reported for inventory on Ayayai Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2022= Inventory as per physical count -inventory purchase-goods shipped-goods held on consignment
amount that should be reported for inventory on Ayayai Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2022= $1,628,000-$51,900-$55,500$-$16,300
amount that should be reported for inventory on Ayayai Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2022=$1,504,800
You have just completed a $20,000 feasibility study for a new coffee shop in some retail space you own. You bought the space two years ago for $100,000, but if you sold it today, you would net $115,000 after taxes. Outfitting the space for a coffee shop would require a capital expenditure of $30,000 plus an initial investment of $5,000 in inventory. What is the initial incremental cash flow for opening the coffee shop today? Answer a negative number if the cash flow is a cost.
Answer:
$150,000
Explanation:
Data provided
Expected after tax cash flows from sale of space = $115,000
Increase in working capital = $5,000
Outfitting expenses = $30,000
The calculation of initial incremental cash flow is shown below:-
Initial incremental cash flow = Expected after tax cash flows from sale of space + Increase in working capital + Outfitting expenses
= $115,000 + $5,000 + $30,000
= $150,000
So, for calculating the initial incremental cash flow we simply applied the above formula.
The initial incremental cash flow for opening the coffee shop today would be $60,000, calculated by subtracting the total costs ($55,000) from the potential revenue from selling the property ($115,000).
Explanation:The initial incremental cash flow for opening the coffee shop today can be calculated by adding up the explicit costs and the potential revenue from selling the property. The explicit costs, in this case, include the cost of the feasibility study ($20,000), the capital expenditure to outfit the retail space ($30,000), and the initial inventory investment ($5,000). These add up to a total cost of $55,000. As for potential revenue, if the property were sold today, it would net $115,000. Therefore, the initial incremental cash flow would be the potential revenue ($115,000) minus the total costs ($55,000), which equals <$strong>60,000.

Kathy Myers frequently purchases stocks and bonds, but she is uncertain how to determine the rate of return that she is earning. For example, three years ago she paid $13,000 for 200 shares of Malti Company’s common stock. She received a $420 cash dividend on the stock at the end of each year for three years. At the end of three years, she sold the stock for $16,000. Kathy would like to earn a return of at least 14% on all of her investments. She is not sure whether the Malti Company stock provide a 14% return and would like some help with the necessary computations.
Answer:
(A) The net present value is -$1,225. (B) Kathy Myers did not earn 14% return on investment.
Explanation:
Solution
(A) Calculate the net present value as shown below:
Now 1 2 3
Purchase of stock = ($13,000)
Annual Cash Divided $420 $420 $420
the Sale of Stock $16,000
Total cash Flow ($13,000) $420 $420 $420
Discount Factor at 14% 1.000 0.877 0.769 0.675
The present value ($13,000) $368 $323 $11,083
Net present value
($368 +$323 + $11,083- 13,000 = ($1,225)
The net present value is -$1,225.
(b) The NPV is negative. It shows that the rate of return on income is lower than the minimum required rate of return. so, KM did not earn 14% return.

On January 1, Year 1, the Mahoney Company borrowed $164,000 cash from Sun Bank by issuing a five-year 8% term note. The principal and interest are repaid by making annual payments beginning on December 31, Year 1. The annual payment on the loan based on the present value of annuity factor would be $40,625. The amount of principal repayment included in the December 31, Year 1 payment is:
Answer:
Principal payment = $27,505.00
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The principal repayment in year 1 = Annual payment - Interest payment in year 1
Interest payment in year = Interest rate × Principal Amount
=8% × 164,000
= $13,120.00
Principal payment = $40,635 - 13,120 = $27,505.00
Principal payment = $27,505.00
