Answer:
The Central Bank is trying to increase money supply.
Explanation:
When the Central Bank makes moves to increase reserves, it means that it is simply trying to mop up excess cash from the economy to fight inflation. Spiking inflation means that the power of a currency is gradually being eroded. The Central Bank cannot allow this to happen so it hits the "Reduce Money In Circulation" button. It does this by reviewing upwards, the money reserves which commercial banks must hold with the Central Bank.
It can also increase the rate at which it lends to the Commercial Banks and Investment houses. Commercial Banks, in turn, transfer the additional cost of borrowing to businesses who will seek loans. This slows down the rate at which money is pumped into the economy.
In the question, however, we notice that the Central Bank has enervated its reserves. This means that it is pumping more money into the economy. This economic move may have been executed to prevent the economy from slipping into a recession or simply to stimulate the economy.
In the short run, increased money supply means, businesses have more access to funds from commercial banks. More funds mean, more investment. Increased investment spending means the businesses will need to expand operations, hire more staff, and the multiplier effect goes on and on.

What is the motivation for stockpiling? a. to avoid the unintended transformation of inventory before sale or use, rendering it inappropriate for its original purpose b. to produce at a level rate despite varying demand for the finished goods output c. to avoid delays in order fulfillment due to inadequate supply d. to save money by ordering large amounts that last longer and reduce the frequency of deliveries
Answer:
c. to avoid delays in order fulfillment due to inadequate supply
Explanation:
Stockpiling refers to keeping a large amount of inventory to have it avaiable in the future. Usually, companies do this when they think that the products may not be available to purchase it later and they decide to buy a large amount to avoid problems with the supply. According to this, the answer is that the motivation for stockpiling is to avoid delays in order fulfillment due to inadequate supply.
The other options are not right because having a large inventory is not related to be able to produce at a level rate, stockpiling can lead to unintended transformation of inventory and you might save money by ordering a large amount but you will increase your storage costs to maintain the inventory in a warehouse.
Mike had been negotiating with a Japanese company for distribution rights for five days. He was afraid he was going to lose the contract, so at the last minute he decided to lower the price. They accepted the next day. What mistake did Mike make? Multiple Choice He should have come in with a low price at the outset. He should have had a written concession plan before he began the negotiation. He should have given the Japanese negotiators a menu of options including the lower price. He should have avoided all concessions. He should have deferred to his superiors.
Answer:
He should have given the Japanese negotiators a menu of options including the lower price.
Explanation:
As it was already on cards that whenever you negotiate you need to have some preparation beforehand and have a complete list of options you would opt if your best options fails to be executed.
Hence, Mike should have given the Japanese a list of options so that It would be easy for them to think about the offer as well as give Mike the advantage to make his deal a success through different options. And if still the options weren't good enough for the Japanese, then Mike would only be left with the option of lowering the price but he would still had a more chance of getting his deal done if he had prepared those options as well.
Thanks.
Goodluck buddy.

When planning to enter a monopolistic market with lower prices, it's important to prepare for the monopolist's potential aggressive responses, including price matching, product enhancements, or tactics to restrict market entry.
Explanation:
When managing a small firm and considering entering the market of a monopolist who is charging high prices, it's crucial to anticipate the monopolist's potential reactions. As you plan to offer a product at 10% lower than the monopolist's price, you should consider the possibility that the monopolist could respond aggressively to maintain their market dominance. This could include lowering their prices to match or beat yours, improving their product's quality or features to justify their higher price, or leveraging their market power to hinder your firm's market entry, such as through exclusive contracts with suppliers or distributors.
You own a company that produces pens. The marginal product of the last unit of labor input is 25 and the marginal product of the last unit of capital input is 75. The market wage is $10, if your company is using the optimal combination of inputs, then the price of capital is Select one: a. $250 b. $30 c. $187.5 d. $750
Answer:
Option(b) $30
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
marginal product of labor per capital should be equal to marginal product of capital i.e.
Marginal product of labor ÷ Price of capital = Marginal product of capital ÷ wage
Price of capital = Marginal product of labor × Wage ÷ Marginal product of capital
= (75 × $10) ÷ 25
Price of capital = $30
Final answer:
If the company is using the optimal combination of inputs, the marginal product of labor to the marginal product of capital should be equal to the market wage to the price of capital. Given the marginal products and a market wage of $10, the price of capital would be $30.
Explanation:
When a company is using the optimal combination of inputs, it follows that the ratio of the marginal products (MP) of the inputs should be equal to the ratio of their prices. This is known as the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS). Given that the marginal product of the last unit of labor (MPL) is 25 and the marginal product of the last unit of capital (MPK) is 75, and the market wage (price of labor) is $10, then the price of capital should be set so that MPL / MPK = Wage / Price of Capital.
Calculating this we get: 25 / 75 = $10 / Price of Capital, hence the Price of Capital = 75 * $10 / 25. This simplifies to 3 * $10, which is $30. Therefore, the correct answer is b. $30.
A firm with a cost of capital of 10% is evaluating two independent projects utilizing the internal rate of return technique. Project X has an initial investment of $70,000 and cash inflows at the end of each of the next five years of $25,000. Project Z has an initial investment of $120,000 and cash inflows at the end of each of the next four years of $35,000. The firm should ________.
Answer:
The firm should invest in project X, which yields a net return of $30,000
Explanation:
To determine the project for which the company should invest in, we will calculate the net return (profit) from each investment, and choose the project with the greater profit.
Project Z:
initial investment = $120,000
cash inflow per year = $35,000
cash inflow for the next four years = 35,000 × 4 = $140,000
Net return on investment = 140,000 - 120,000 = 20,000.
Next, you will notice that for the project X, a period of 5 years was given, while for project Z, a 4 year period was given. In order to effectively compare both projects, we will use the same time period, hence, calculating the net return on project X after 4 years:
Project X:
initial investment = $70,000
cash inflow per year = $25,000
cash inflow for the next 4 years = 25,000 × 4 = 100,000
Net return on investment = 100,000 - 70,000 = $30,000
since the net return on investment for project X is greater than that for project Z by $10,000, the firm should invest in project Z.
At the beginning of the year, manufacturing overhead for the year was estimated to be $821,100. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 36,280 hours, the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $790,000, and manufacturing overhead for the year was overapplied by $44,440. If the predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor-hours, then the estimated direct labor-hours at the beginning of the year used in the predetermined overhead rate must have been:
Answer:
estimated direct labor hours= 35,700 hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $821,100.
Actual direct-labor hours= 36,280 hours
Actual manufacturing overhead= $790,000
Manufacturing overhead for the year was overapplied by $44,440.
We need to reverse engineer the overhead application process to calculate the estimated direct labor hours.
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
-44,440= 790,000 - allocated overhead
allocated overhead= 834,440
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
834,440= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*36,280
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $23
Finally, we can determine the estimated direct labor hours:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
23= 821,100/ estimated direct labor hours
estimated direct labor hours= 821,100/23
estimated direct labor hours= 35,700 hours
Pretzelmania, Inc., issues 7%, 10-year bonds with a face amount of $70,000 for $70,000 on January 1, 2018. The market interest rate for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 7%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. 1. & 2. Record the bond issue and first interest payment on June 30, 2018
Answer:
January 1, 2018
Dr. Cash $70,000
Cr. Bond Payable $70,000
June 30, 2018
Dr. Interest Expense $2,450
Cr. Cash $2,450
Explanation:
If the market rate is equal to the coupon rate of a bond, the bond will be issued at par. Bond is recognised as a liability and recorded in the account of Bond Payable.
Interest is paid on the face value and stated rate of the bond.
Interest Payment = Face value x Coupon rate x 6/12 = $70,000 x 7% x 6/12 = $2,450.
Final answer:
The student's question pertains to recording the issuance of bonds at par value and the subsequent semiannual interest payment. The issuance involves debiting Cash and crediting Bonds Payable. The interest payment is recorded by debiting Interest Expense and crediting Cash for the semiannual interest amount.
Explanation:
The student's question revolves around the accounting for bond transactions, which involves recording the issuance of the bonds and making semiannual interest payments. As the bonds issued by Pretzelmania, Inc. have a face amount of $70,000 and are sold for the same amount, there is no need for any premium or discount to be recorded. The market interest rate matches the stated rate of the bond, which is 7%, indicating that the bonds were issued at par.
Journal Entry for Bond Issue on January 1, 2018:
Debit Cash $70,000
Credit Bonds Payable $70,000
This entry reflects the receipt of cash from the bond investors and the creation of a liability for Pretzelmania, Inc. in the form of bonds payable.
Journal Entry for First Interest Payment on June 30, 2018:
Debit Interest Expense $2,450
Credit Cash $2,450
This entry accounts for the payment of interest for six months. The amount of interest paid is calculated by multiplying the face amount of the bonds ($70,000) by the interest rate (7%) and then by half a year (since the interest is semiannual).
$70,000 × 7% × 0.5 = $2,450
This interest payment reflects the semiannual interest paid to bondholders, which is a cash outflow for the company.
Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $44,000 and a remaining useful life of four years. At the end of the four years the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $22,800. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $128,000 and receive $22,800 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $19,800 per year over the four-year life of the new machine. The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is:
Answer:
$26,000
Explanation:
The calculation of Net increase or decrease in income on replacement is shown below:-
Net savings in Variable cost for 4 years = Variable manufacturing costs × Life
= $19,800 × 4
= $79,200
Net Investment to be made in New machine = Initial investment of new machine - Traded in value of old machine
= $128,000 - $22,800
= $105,200
Net financial disadvantage of replacement = Net savings in Variable cost for 4 years - Net Investment to be made in New machine
= $79,200 - $105,200
= $26,000
So, for computing the net financial disadvantage of replacement we simply applied the above formula.
Craydye makes all sorts of moldings. Its standard quantity of material allowed is 1 foot of wood per 1 foot of molding at a standard price of $3.00 per foot. During August, it purchased 200,000 feet of wood at a cost of $2.00 per foot, which produced only 199,000 feet of molding. Calculate the materials price variance and the materials usage variance. a.$600,900 U and $2,500 F b.$200,000 F and $3,000 U c.$400,000 F and $1,000 U d.$700,000 U and $4,000 F
Answer:
We choose b.$200,000 F and $3,000 U
Explanation:
Given that:
standard price of $3.00 per footpurchased 200,000cost of $2.00 per foot produced only 199,000 feet of moldingMaterial Price Variance
= (Standard Price X Actual Quantity) - (Actual Price X Actual Quantity)
= ($ 3*200000) - ($ 2*200000)
= $ 600000 - $ 400000
= $ 200000 F
Material Usage variance
= (Standard Price X Standard Quantity) - (Standard Price X Actual Quantity)
= ($3* 199000) - ($3*200000)
= $ 597000 -$ 600000
= $ 3000 U
We choose b.$200,000 F and $3,000 U

Selected financial data of two competitors, Target and Wal-Mart, are presented here. (All dollars are in millions.) Suppose the data were taken from the 2017 financial statements of each company. Target (1/31/17) Wal-Mart (1/31/17) Income Statement Data for Year Net sales $64,948 $401,244 Cost of goods sold 44,157 306,158 Selling and administrative expenses 16,389 76,651 Interest expense 894 2,103 Other income 28 4,213 Income taxes 1,322 7,145 Net income $ 2,214 $ 13,400 Target Wal-Mart Balance Sheet Data (End of Year) Current assets $17,488 $ 48,949 Noncurrent assets 26,618 114,480 Total assets $44,106 $163,429 Current liabilities $10,512 $ 55,390 Long-term liabilities 19,882 42,754 3 Target (1/31/17) Wal-Mart (1/31/17) Income Statement Data for Year Total stockholders' equity 13,712 65,285 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $44,106 $163,429 Net cash provided by operating activities $4,430 $23,147 Cash paid for capital expenditures $3,547 $11,499 Dividends declared and paid on common stock $465 $3,746 Weighted-average shares outstanding (millions) 774 3,951 Instructions For each company, compute these values and ratios. (a)Working capital. (b)Current ratio. (c)Debt to assets ratio. (d)Free cash flow. (e)Earnings per share. (f)Compare the liquidity and solvency of the two companies.
Answer:
Explanation:
The file attached shows the complete calculation to the problem
a) working capital = Current asset - current liabilities =h-k
Target $ 6,976 Wal-Mart $ (6,441)
b)Current ratio = Current Asset / Current liabilities = h/k Target 1.66 Wal-Mart 0.88
c) Debt to asset ratio : (Current liabilities + Long term liabilities)/Total asset = (k+l)/j Target 0.69 Wal-Mart 0.60
e) Earning per share = net income/number of share outstanding = g/r Target $ 2.86 Wal-Mart $ 3.39
f) Liquidity is reflected by net working capital, current asset ratio. We can see net working capital is negative for Wal-Mart and also Current ratio is lower compared to
Target. Hence, Target has better liquidity compared to Wal-mart
Solvency : is reflected by ability of company to pay its debt on time. We can see debt to asset ratio is lower for Wal-Mart.
Target has relatively higher debt compared to Wal-mart. Hence solvency for Wal-mart is better .
Target's working capital, current ratio, debt to assets ratio, free cash flow, and earnings per share are calculated and compared to those of Wal-Mart. Target has better liquidity but Wal-Mart has better solvency.
Explanation:Let's compute the values and ratios for Target and Wal-Mart:
Working capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities. For Target, it's $17,488 - $10,512 = $6,976 million. For Wal-Mart, it's $48,949 - $55,390 = - $6,441 million. Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities. For Target, it's $17,488 / $10,512 = 1.66. For Wal-Mart, it's $48,949 / $55,390 = 0.88. Debt to assets ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets. For Target, it's ($10,512 + $19,882) / $44,106 = 0.69. For Walmart, it's ($55,390 + $42,754) / $163,429 = 0.60. Free cash flow = Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities - Capital Expenditure. For Target, it is $4,430 - $3,547 = $883 million. For Wal-Mart, it's $23,147 - $11,499 = $11,648 million. Earnings per share = Net Income / Weighted average shares outstanding. For Target, it's $2,214 / 774 = $2.86 per share. For Walmart, it's $13,400 / 3,951 = $3.39 per share.
Comparing the liquidity and solvency, Target has better liquidity (higher working capital and current ratio), while Wal-Mart has better solvency (lower debt to assets ratio).

Item Price Relative A B C
Answer:
The item price relative of ingredients A, B and C is 118, 113 and 91
Explanation:
Given
-----------------Cost per Pound ($)
Ingredient ---- Beginning ------ Ending Quantity (pounds) per 100 Pounds of Product
A ---------------- 2.50 ------ 2.95 ------ 25
B ---------------- 8.75 ------ 9.90 ------- 10
C ----------------- 0.99 ----- 0.90 ----- 60
Required
Calculate the price relatives for all ingredients
The price relatives for each ingredient is calculated using the following formula.
Price Relative = (P' * Q)/P°
Where
P' = Ending Cost per pound
P° = Beginning Cost per pound
Q = Quantity
The quantity is uniform for all products because it's measured per 100 pounds of each product.
So, Q = 100
Calculating Price Relative of A
P' of Ingredient A = 2.95
P° of Ingredient A = 2.50
By Substituting the right values in the given formula
P = (2.95 * 100)/2.50
P = 295/2.50
P = 118
Calculating Price Relative of B
P' of Ingredient B = 9.90
P° of Ingredient B = 8.75
By Substituting the right values in the given formula
P = (9.90 * 100)/8.75
P = 990/8.75
P = 113.1429
P = 113 ( Approximated)
Calculating Price Relative of C
P' of Ingredient C = 0.9
P° of Ingredient C = 0.99
By Substituting the right values in the given formula
P = (0.9 * 100)/0.99
P = 90/0.99
P = 90.90909
P = 91 (Approximated).
Hence, the item price relative of ingredients A, B and C is 118, 113 and 91

Required: 1. Calculate the estimated inventory at the end of November, assuming a gross profit ratio of 40%. 2. Calculate the estimated inventory at the end of November, assuming a markup on cost of 60%.
Answer:
Closing Stock = 38000
Explanation:
Net Sales = COGS + Gross Profit
Net sales = sales - sales return = 185000 - 6000 = 179000 Gross Profit = 60% of sales (as per gross profit ratio)= 60% of 179000 = 107400
COGS = Opening Stock + Net Purchase + direct expenses - Closing Stock* Net purchase = Purchase - purchase return = 111000 - 4500 = 106500
*Direct Expense = Freight Inwards = 3100
Putting all values in formula :- Net Sales = COGS + Gross Profit
179000 = (0 + 106500 + 3100 - closing stock) + 107400
179000 = 106500 + 3100 + 107400 - closing stock
179000 = 217000 - closing stock
closing stock = 217000 - 179000
closing stock = 38000

On June 1, Sawyer Co. borrowed $5,000 by extending their past-due account payable with a 45-day, 12% interest-bearing note. On July 16, the due date, Sawyer pays the amount due in full. Sawyer would record this payment with a (debit/credit) _______ to Interest Expense in the amount of _______.
A. credit; $600
B. debit; $75
C. debit; $600
D. credit; $75
Answer:
The correct answer is Option B.
Explanation:
Note receivable is a promissory note with a written promise made by the borrower to the lender (payee) to pay a certain, definite sum at a specified date.
The interest expense on the notes is calculated as: Principal x Interest Rate x Time
In this case, the total interest expense is $5,000 x 12%/12 x 1.5 months = $75.
Therefor, total debit to interest expense is $75.
Answer:
The correct answer is D)
Explanation:
The amount borrowed is an expense to Sawyer Co. Therefore it has to be recorded as a credit transaction in their Interest Expense Account by the interest on the $5,000 that was borrowed.
The interest on the $5,000 is calculated by apply the rate (12%) on $5,000.
= 5000(12/100)
= 50*12
= $600
The actual amount is gotten by dividing the interest by 12 months and multiplying by a month and a half (45 days) assuming that a month is 30 days.
= (600/12)1.5
= $50 * 1.5
= $75
The principle of double-entry in accounting states that you must always credit any increase in liability and debit a decrease in an amount due to another.

Byrd Company produces one product, a putter called GO-Putter. Byrd uses a standard cost system and determines that it should take one hour of direct labor to produce one GO-Putter. The normal production capacity for this putter is 100,000 units per year. The total budgeted overhead at normal capacity is $1,100,000 comprised of $400,000 of variable costs and $700,000 of fixed costs. Byrd applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. During the current year, Byrd produced 71,800 putters, worked 99,000 direct labor hours, and incurred variable overhead costs of $197,450 and fixed overhead costs of $734,800. Compute the predetermined variable overhead rate and the predetermined fixed overhead rate. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.) Variable Fixed Predetermined Overhead Rate $ $ Compute the applied overhead for Byrd for the year. Overhead Applied $ Compute the total overhead variance. Total Overhead Variance $
The predetermined variable overhead rate is $4.00 per direct labor hour, and the fixed overhead rate is $7.00 per direct labor hour. The total overhead applied for Byrd is $1,089,000, and the total overhead variance for the year is $156,750.
To compute the predetermined variable overhead rate for Byrd Company, we divide the total budgeted variable overhead costs by the normal production capacity in terms of direct labor hours. With budgeted variable costs of $400,000 and a normal production capacity of 100,000 units or 100,000 direct labor hours, the predetermined variable overhead rate is $400,000 / 100,000 hours = $4.00 per direct labor hour.
Similarly, the predetermined fixed overhead rate is calculated by dividing the total budgeted fixed overhead costs by the normal production capacity in terms of direct labor hours. The budgeted fixed costs are $700,000 and, again, with the normal production capacity being 100,000 direct labor hours, the predetermined fixed overhead rate is $700,000 / 100,000 hours = $7.00 per direct labor hour.
To compute the overhead applied, Byrd would multiply the actual direct labor hours by each of the predetermined overhead rates. Byrd worked 99,000 direct labor hours, so the overhead applied is (99,000 hours
$4.00 / hour for variable overhead) + (99,000 hours
$7.00 / hour for fixed overhead), which equals $396,000 + $693,000, amounting to $1,089,000.
The total overhead variance is the difference between the actual overhead incurred and the overhead applied. Byrd's total actual overhead for the year is the sum of the actual variable overhead and actual fixed overhead costs, which is $197,450 + $734,800 = $932,250. Thus, the total overhead variance is $1,089,000 (applied) - $932,250 (actual) = $156,750.
Keating Co. is considering disposing of equipment with a cost of $52,000 and accumulated depreciation of $36,400. Keating Co. can sell the equipment through a broker for $25,000, less a 7% broker commission. Alternatively, Gunner Co. has offered to lease the equipment for five years for a total of $46,000. Keating will incur repair, insurance, and property tax expenses estimated at $10,000 over the five-year period. At lease-end, the equipment is expected to have no residual value. The net differential income from the lease alternative is
Answer:
$12,750
Explanation:
The computation of net differential income is shown below:-
For computing the net differential income first we need to find out the net income if equipment is sold and net income if offer lease is accepted which is given below:-
Net income if equipment is sold = Sales consideration - Commission
= $25,000 - ($25,000 × 7%)
= $25,000 - $1,750
= $23,250
Now,
Net income if offer lease is accepted = Lease amount - Repair, insurance and property tax expenses
= $46,000 - $10,000
= $36,000
So,
Net differential income from the lease alternative = Net income if offer lease is accepted - Net income if equipment is sold
= $36,000 - $23,250
= $12,750
Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible receivables. At the beginning of the year, Allowance for Bad Debts had a credit balance of $ 1 comma 400. During the year Back wrote off uncollectible receivables of $ 2 comma 400. Back recorded Bad Debts Expense of $ 3 comma 000. Back's year-end balance in Allowance for Bad Debts is $ 2 comma 000. Back's ending balance of Accounts Receivable is $ 20 comma 900. Compute the net realizable value of Accounts Receivable at year-end.
Answer: $18,900
Explanation:
Seeing as this company uses the Allowance method for accounting for Uncollectible Receivables, only 2 figures here matter, the ending Account balance on the Receivables account and the Allowance for bad debts account.
The formula for the Net Realizable Value for Accounts Receivable is,
= Account Receivable Ending Balance - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Ending Balance
= 20,900 - 2,000
= $18,900
The Net Realizable Value of Accounts Receivable at year-end is $18,900.
With the Allowance method, only the Allowance is deducted. Bad debts are then removed from the Allowance account. If the Allowance increases or decreases there is an entry in the Income Statement as well but thats unrelated to this.
Rosalie owns 50% of the outstanding stock of Salmon Corporation. In a qualifying stock redemption, Salmon distributes $592,000 to Rosalie in exchange for one-half of her shares, which have a basis of $740,000. Rosalie has a $ realized loss of which $ is recognized.
Answer:
$148,000
Explanation:
The computation of the realized loss recognized is shown below:
= Basis of shares - consideration
= $740,000 - $592,000
= $148,000
By deducting the consideration from the basis of shares we can get the realized loss i.e to be recognized and the same is to be considered while taking the two items together i.e basis of shares and the consideration amount

Company A purchased machinery with a list price of $96,000. They were given a 10% discount by the manufacturer. They paid $600 for shipping and sales tax of $4,500. Company A estimates that the machinery will have a useful life of 10 years and a residual value of $30,000. If Compnay A uses straight-line depreciation, annual depreciation will be
Answer:
The annual depreciation will be $6,150
Explanation:
First, let us calculate the total cost of purchasing the machinery as follows
list price = $96,000
percentage discount = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1
∴ Discount amount = 10% × 96,000 = 0.1 × 96,000 = $9,600
∴ New price after discount = 96,000 - 9,600 = $86,400
shipping cost = $600
sales tax = $4,500
Total cost of machinery = New price after discount + shipping cost + sales tax
= 86,400 + 600 + 4,500 = $91,500
useful life = 10 years
residual/salvage value = $30,000
Note that Straight-line depreciation allocates depreciation costs evenly over the useful life of the equipment, and the formula is shown below:
Straight-line depreciation = (cost of machinery - residual value) ÷ (useful life in years)
= (91,500 - 30,000) ÷ 10
= 61,500 ÷ 10 = $6,150
Manhattan Swim Club is planning for the coming year. Investors would like to earn a 10% return on the company's $36,000,000 of assets. The company primarily incurs fixed costs to maintain the swimming pools. Fixed costs are projected to be $12,500,000 for the year. About 525,000 members are expected to swim each year. Variable costs are about $12 per swimmer. Manhattan Swim Club is a price-taker and won't be able to charge more than its competitors who charge $40 for a membership. What profit will it earn in terms of dollars? (1 point)
Answer:
$2,200,000
Explanation:
Fixed cost = $12,500,000
Variable cost = 525,000 * $12 = 6,300,000
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost = $12,500,000 + $6,300,000 = $18,800,000
Total revenue = 525,000 * $40 = $21,000,000
Profit = Total revenue - Total cost = $21,000,000 - $18,800,000 = $2,200,000
Therefore, the profit it will earn in terms of dollars is $2,200,000.
n January the company produced 3,380 units using 13,520 pounds of the direct material and 2,824 direct labor-hours. During the month, the company purchased 14,280 pounds of the direct material at a cost of $35,100. The actual direct labor cost was $75,841 and the actual variable overhead cost was $33,828. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The labor rate variance for January is: Multiple Choice $407 F $407 U $2,833 U $2,833 F
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual direct labor hours= 2,824
Actual direct labor cost= $75,841
Actual direct labor rate= 75,841/2,824= $26.86
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need the standard cost information. I will provide the formula and an invented standard cost per hour to guide an answer.
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Standard cost per direct labor hour= 30
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (30 - 26.86)*2,824
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $8,867.36 favorable
It is favorable because the cost per hour was lower than estimated.
It will cost $7,500 to acquire a cotton candy cart. Cart sales are expected to be $3,800 a year for four years. After the four years, the cart is expected to be worthless as the expected life of the cotton candy producing machine is only four years. What is the payback period? a. 4.00 years b. 2.00 years c. 1.48 years d. 1.97 years e. 1.67 years
Answer:
It will take 1.97 years to payback the machine.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
It will cost $7,500 to acquire a cotton candy cart. Cart sales are expected to be $3,800 a year for four years.
We need to determine the amount of time required to payback the machine.
Year 1= 3,800 - 7,500= -3,700
Year 2= 3,800 - 3,700= 100
3,700/3,800= 0.97
It will take 1.97 years to payback the machine.
Swazzi has released a new line of sweater vests, but they are selling poorly. Store managers say they need same-day information on the company's advertising plans, so they can decide whether to discount pricing. Should store managers email you directly for this information?
Answer:
Since Store managers say they need same-day information on the company's advertising plans, store managers can email me directly for this information.
Explanation:
The situation at Swazzi is precarious since they are not selling the new line of sweater vests well enough to match their sales forecast.
Store managers who are interacting with the consumers at their different outlets will definitely try to find a way to drive sales, hence their request for same day advertising plans from the company.
Mitigating this short fall calls for escalating and responding to requests from the company and the store managers hence the need for a very fast and cost effective communication medium.
For swift communication between the company and store managers, it is okay for store managers to email their request directly and vice versa.
Store managers should not email you directly with this information as a chain of communication has been created to create reliable and manageable communication through district leaders.
Therefore, the ideal alternative is that the communication must be carried out in accordance with the strategy established for the company.
In this case, sending an email to the leader would be ineffective, as it is the district leaders who have the necessary information and data about sales follow-up and strategies to maximize sales.
Therefore, it will be through clear and effective communication and guidance provided by district leaders that store managers will improve the sales process.

Collison and Ryder Company (C&R) has been experiencing declining market conditions for its sportswear division. Management decided to test the assets of the division for possible impairment. The test revealed the following: book value of division’s assets, $28.9 million; fair value of division’s assets, $22.2 million; undiscounted sum of estimated future cash flows generated from the division’s assets, $29.2 million. What amount of impairment loss should C&R recognize?
Answer:
The amount of impairment loss should C&R recognize is $6,700,000
Explanation:
According to the given data we have that the book value of division's assets is $28.9 million and fair value of division’s assets is $22.2 million.
Therefore, in order to calculate the amount of impairment loss should C&R recognize we would have to use the following formula:
impairment loss=book value of division's assets - fair value of division’s assets
impairment loss=$28.9 million-$22.2 million
impairment loss=$6,700,000
The amount of impairment loss should C&R recognize is $6,700,000
Answer:
0
Explanation:
Since the estimated future cash flows generated from the division’s assets, $29.2 million, greater than book value of division’s assets, $28.9 million; Therefore no impairment loss should C&R recognize.
Lyons Company deducts insurance expense of $126,000 for tax purposes in 2020, but the expense is not yet recognized for accounting purposes. In 2021, 2022, and 2023, no insurance expense will be deducted for tax purposes, but $42,000 of insurance expense will be reported for accounting purposes in each of these years. Lyons Company has a tax rate of 40% and income taxes payable of $108,000 at the end of 2020. There were no deferred taxes at the beginning of 2020. 3. What deferred amount should be recorded for Lyon's in relation to the above temporary difference at 12/31/20? If zero, write 0
Answer:
$50,400
Explanation:
Lyons company needs to recognize $126,000 x 40% (tax rate) = $50,400 as deferred tax liability at 12/31/2020.
Deferred tax temporary differences exist because sometimes US GAAP rules are not consistent with the rules that the IRS uses to determine the current taxes of a firm. E.g. US GAAP does not recognize expensing the purchase of assets, but the IRS does. So you need to depreciate the assets in your accounting records, but the ax benefits have already been taken by the firm in the first year.
To determine the deferred amount for Lyon's Company related to the temporary difference at the end of 2020, calculate the future tax deduction on the insurance expense, resulting in a deferred tax liability of $33,600.
The deferred amount recorded for Lyon's in relation to the temporary difference at 12/31/20 can be calculated as follows:
Calculate the temporary difference in insurance expense: ($126,000 - $42,000) = $84,000Calculate the future tax deduction on insurance expense: $84,000 * 40% = $33,600Deferred tax liability to be recorded: $33,600To simplify data handling to include the receipt of orders that have actually been placed in previous periods, the following six-level scheme can be used. (A number of different techniques are used in practice, but the important issue is to keep track of what is on hand, what is expected to arrive, what is needed, and what size orders should be placed.) One unit of A is made of three units of B, one unit of C, and two units of D. B is composed of two units of E and one unit of D. C is made of one unit of B and two units of E. E is made of one unit of F. Items B, C, E, and F have one-week lead times; A and D have lead times of two weeks. Assume that lot-for-lot (L4L) lot sizing is used for Items A, B, and F; lots of size 56, 56, and 206 are used for Items C, D, and E, respectively. Items C, E, and F have on-hand (beginning) inventories of 16, 56, and 156, respectively; all other items have zero beginning inventory. We are scheduled to receive 16 units of A in Week 2, 56 units of E in Week 1, and also 56 units of F in Week 1. There are no other scheduled receipts. If 36 units of A are required in Week 8, use the low-level-coded bill of materials to find the necessary planned order releases for all components.

This problem involves Material Requirement Planning (MRP). To build the required amount of Item A, you need to plan the necessary resources (Items B, C, D, E, and F), taking into consideration their lead times, lot sizes, and initial inventory levels. The resulting MRP schedule should indicate when and how much to order for each component.
Explanation:This is a complex multi-level Material Requirement Planning (MRP) challenge, which calls for the creation of an MRP schedule to determine when and how much to order. Every item has a distinct production structure and lead time which must be considered. Here's a step-by-step approach:
To start with Item A, we need 36 units in Week 8. Given the two-week lead time, the order must be released in Week 6. The schedule should show gross and net requirement of 36 in Week 8 and planned order release of 36 in Week 6.
For Item B, we'll need 36 * 3 = 108 units in Week 6 in order to produce A. Since Item B also has a one-week lead time, we need to release the order at Week 5.
With Item C, the required 36 units for A means an order release of 36 in Week 6. Item C has a lot size of 56, it would mean that we will have 20 units on hand after completing the order for A.
Last of all, Item E and F are required to produce B and C. The order releases for these can be computed in a similar fashion.
While planning, it's important to note the starting inventory levels and the scheduled receipts of each item, as these figures also impact when and how much you would need to order.

Toyota Motor Corporation uses target costing. Assume that Toyota marketing personnel estimate that the competitive selling price for the Camry in the upcoming model year will need to be $27,000. Assume further that the Camry's total unit cost for the upcoming model year is estimated to be $22,500 and that Toyota requires a 20% profit margin on selling price (which is equivalent to a 25% markup on total cost). a. What price will Toyota establish for the Camry for the upcoming model year?
Toyota will set the Camry's price at $27,000 for the upcoming model year to meet the required 20% profit margin on sales.
The question involves calculating the price Toyota should set for the Camry, given the required profit margin. Toyota requires a 20% profit margin on the selling price, which would be the additional amount on top of the cost to achieve the desired profit level. The selling price can be found as follows:
Calculate the profit by multiplying the total unit cost by the profit margin: $22,500 × 20% = $4,500.
Add the profit to the total unit cost to get the selling price. $22,500 + $4,500 = $27,000.
Therefore, Toyota will establish the Camry's price at $27,000 for the upcoming model year to meet the required profit margin.
a. The price that Toyota will establish for the Camry for the upcoming model year is $27,000.
Given Data:
- Competitive selling price estimate: $27,000
- Total unit cost estimate: $22,500
- Profit margin on selling price required: [tex]\( 20\% \)[/tex] (equivalent to a [tex]\( 25\% \)[/tex] markup on total cost)
Part a:
Toyota uses target costing, which means they set the selling price based on the target cost and desired profit margin.
1. Calculate the target cost:
Target cost is derived from the competitive selling price and the desired profit margin.
Given:
- Competitive selling price = $27,000
- Desired profit margin on selling price = [tex]\( 20\% \)[/tex]
Profit margin = [tex]\( 20\% \) of \( $27,000 \)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Profit} = 0.2 \times 27000 = $5,400 \][/tex]
Target cost = Competitive selling price - Profit
[tex]\[ \text{Target Cost} = 27000 - 5400 = $21,600 \][/tex]
So, Toyota will target a cost of $21,600 per unit.
2. Establish the selling price:
Toyota will establish the selling price based on the target cost and the desired profit margin on selling price.
Competitive selling price = Target cost + Profit
[tex]\[ \text{Selling Price} = 21600 + 5400 = $27,000 \][/tex]
Therefore, Toyota will establish the selling price of $27,000 for the Camry in the upcoming model year.
