b. Assume that the company uses variable costing. Compute the unit product cost for one gamelan.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

Absorption costing:

Unitary fixed overhead= 940,000/23,000= $40.87

Unitary production cost= 180 + 340 + 51 +40.87

Unitary production cost= $610.87

Variable costing:

Unitary production cost= 180 + 340 + 51

Unitary production cost=$571

Answer 2

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production and variable costs includes all variable production costs.

What are absorption costs?

Absorption costs, also known as absorption costs, are a management calculation method that combines both highly flexible and adjusted cost to produce a particular product.

Knowing the full cost of production per unit enables manufacturers to price their products.

Calculation of Production costs assuming that the method of Absorption costing:

[tex]\rm\,Unitary \;Fixed \;Overhead= \dfrac{\$940,000}{23,000}\\\\Unitary \;Fixed \;Overhead== \$40.87 \;per \;unit\\\\Unitary \;Production \;Cost= (180 + 340 + 51 +40.87)\\\\Unitary \; Production \;Cost= \$610.87[/tex]

b) Calculation of production costs by variable costing method:

[tex]\rm\,Unitary \; Production \;Cost= (\$180 +\$340 + \$51)\\\\Unitary \;Production \;Cost=\$571[/tex]

Hence, The unit product cost for one gamelan by applying absorption costing is $610.87 and by variable costing is $571.

Dale takes out a loan of $8,000 with a 15.2% interest rate that is compounded semi-annually.
If he pays off the loan in 3 years, how much will he end up paying?
Round your answer to the nearest cent.
DO NOT round until you have calculated the final answer.

Answers

Answer:

$12,415.48

Explanation:

The formula for calculating compound interest is

FV = PV × (1+r)^ n.

For Dale , FV = the amount he will pay?

PV = $8,000

r = 15.2%

n =3 years

Since interest is compounded semi-annually, the applicable r will be 15.2% divided by 2, n will be 3 years x 2

Fv= $8,000 x ( 1 + {15.2 %/ 2}^6

Fv = $8,000 x (1+ 7.6/100) ^ 6

Fv= $8,000 x ( 1.076) ^6

Fv = $8000 x 1.551934858492184

Fv=$12,415.482

Fv= $12,415.48

Dale will end up paying $12,415.48

Answer: 12,415.48

Explanation:

Use the compund interest formula for calculating the future value, A=P(1+rn)n⋅t where A is the unknown future value, P is the principal, so P=$8,000, r is the rate written as a decimal, so r=0.152, n is the number of periods of compounding which is 2 when compounded semi-annually,so n=2, and t is the time in years, so t=3. Substitute the values into the formula.

Use the compound interest formula and substitute the given values: A=$8,000(1+0.1522)2(3). Simplify using the order of operations: A=$8,000(1.076)6=$8,000(1.551935358)≈$12,415.48.

All of the following are forms of cognitive bias except:_____.
A. Confirmation bias: This bias occurs when decision makers seek out evidence that confirms their previously held beliefs, while discounting or diminishing the impact of evidence in support of differing conclusions.
B. Anchoring: This is the overreliance on an initial single piece of information or experience to make subsequent judgments. Once an anchor is set, other judgments are made by adjusting away from that anchor, which can limit one’s ability to accurately interpret new, potentially relevant information.

​If the price level increases by 2 percent each year, the inflation rate is increasing. a. True b. False

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation:

Inflation refers to the general rise in prices of goods and services in an economy. It erodes the value of currency because with inflation, one is able to buy less goods.

If the inflation rate increases by 2% each year then the inflation rate is not increasing. The inflation rate is remaining constant at 2%. The inflation rate would be increasing if the prices increased by 2% then by 4% then by 6%. That way the inflation rate would be increasing by 2% every year.

If the rate at which prices are increasing is constant then, the inflation rate is the same.

Tommy is from a small town and quit high school to get married. He and his wife have five kids, and his wife stays home with the children. Tommy is a hard worker and strives to provide for his family, although his skills are limited. Tommy has been a butcher for his entire career. He has been with his present company, a large retail grocer, for the past six years performing the same job. There are twelve people in the meat department, and each one specializes in cutting certain types of meat. Tommy's job is to cut ribeye steaks. Cutting ribeye steaks is very precise and requires holding and using a knife in the same way every day. This requirement has started to cause Tommy pain in his right hand. Although Tommy still likes his work, he is getting a little bored of the repetition and is bothered by the pain.

The quality of Tommy’s work has not suffered, but the store managers can tell that he is getting bored. What could they do to keep him better engaged?

a. Purchase special ergonomic mats to help with the pain associated with standing on the hard floor every day.
b. Motivate Tommy by giving him feedback about how skilled he is in cutting ribeye and explain that customers visit the store for his custom steaks.
c. Offer Tommy more money because he is so good at cutting meat.
d. Cross train the employees in the meat department, so beef cutters can learn how to cut pork and vice versa.
e. Administer a work personality quiz to Tommy to see if there is another area in the store where he could move to, such as the produce department.

Answers

Answer: d. Cross train the employees in the meat department, so beef cutters can learn how to cut pork and vice versa.

Explanation:

Since the quality of Tommy’s work has not suffered, but the store managers can tell that he is getting bored, the thing that could be done to keep him better engaged is to cross train the employees in the meat department, so beef cutters can learn how to cut pork and vice versa. Cross training helps the workers in the company appreciate the workers of others in other department and shows workers flexibility.

A deposit of $10,000 is made a year from now, a second deposit of $10,000 is made at the end of the year 5, and a deposit of $3000 is made at the end of year 8. The account earns 6% interest. You want to withdraw an equal amount, X at the end of each year for the next 10 years. What is the amount of X if the goal is to empty the account

Answers

Answer:

$4068.77

Explanation:

We calculate the Future value of all the three deposits at the end of year 8

FV = CF1 *(1+r)^8-1 + CF5*(1+r)^8-5 + CF8 * (1+r)^8-8

FV = 10000 *(1+0.06)^7 + 10000*(1+0.06)^3 + 3000 * (1+0.06)^0

FV = 15,036.30 + 11,910.16 + 3,000

FV= $29,946.46

We have to calculate the annuity payments that have a Present value = $29,946.46

PV = PMT * 1-(1+r)^-n / r

PV = 29,946.46, PMT= ?, r = 6%, n = 10

29,946.46 = PMT * 1-(1+0.06)^-10 / 0.06

29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 1.06^-10 / 0.06

29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 0.558395 / 0.06

29,946.46 = PMT * 0.441605 / 0.06

29,946.46 = PMT * 7.36008

PMT = 29,946.46/7.36008

PMT = 4068.768274257889

PMT = $4068.77

Thus, amount of X is $4068.77 if the goal is to empty the account.

If the price of chocolate-covered peanuts decreases from $1.10 to $0.90 and the quantity demanded increases from 190 bags to 210 bags, then the price elasticity of demand (by the midpoint method) is:

Answers

Answer:Price elasticity of demand = -0.05

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand using the midpoint method= [tex]\frac{(Q2- Q1)/(Q2+Q1)/2}{(P2- P1)/(P2+P1)/2}[/tex]

where  Q =Quantity demanded

P = Price

Price elasticity of demand =  ([tex]\frac{(210-190/210+190)/2}{0.90-1.10/ 0.90+1.10)/2}[/tex]

 =     [tex]\frac{20/400)/2 }{ -0.2/2)/2}[/tex]

0.025/ -0.05 = -0.05

Price elasticity of demand = -0.05

The Price elasticity of demand tells us how much quantity demanded changes in response to a change in price. Here the Demand for a good is  inelastic because  the PED coefficient is less than one -0.05

Answer:

Elasticity = 0.5

Explanation:

Elasticity is defined as the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. One of the methods used to calculate it is the midpoint method.

Midpoint method uses average values to calculate the elasticity of demand of a good.

Elasticity = {(Q2 - Q1) ÷ (Q1 + Q2)/2} ÷ {(P2 - P1) ÷ (P1 + P2)/2}

Elasticity = {(210 - 190) ÷ (210 + 190)/2} ÷ {(0.9 - 1.10) ÷ (0.9 + 1.10)/2}

Elasticity = 0.1 ÷ 0.2

Elasticity = 0.5

Assume that Ms. Sawyer's salary is $35,000, up from $31,000 last year, while the CPI is 187.5 this year, up from 180 last year. This means that Ms. Sawyer's real income has ____________ since last year.

Answers

Answer:

Increased

Explanation:

Based on the information given we were told Ms. Sawyer's salary is the amount of $35,000, up from the amount of $31,000 last year which means that Ms. Sawyer's salary had INCREASED from $31,000 last year to $35,000 this year

Secondly we were told that the CPI is 187.5 this year which is up from 180 last year which means that Ms. Sawyer's CPI had INCREASED

from 180 last year to 187.5 this year.

Therefore this simply means that Ms. Sawyer's real income has INCREASED since last year.

CAM charges for retail leases in a shopping mall must be calculated. The retail mall consists of a total area of 2.8 million square feet, of which 800,000 square feet has been leased to anchor tenants that have agreed to pay $2 per rentable square foot in CAM charges. In-line tenants occupy 1.3 million square feet, and the remainder is a common area, which the landlord believeswill require $8 per square foot to maintain and operate each year. If the owner is to cover total CAM charges, how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot?

Answers

Answer:

$3.08 per square foot

Explanation:

Calculation for how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot

First step is to find the common area

Common area = 2,800,000−800,000−1,300,000 Common area= 700,000

Second step is to find Common area operating costs

Common area operating costs = 700,000×8

Common area operating costs= $5.6 million

Third step is to find the Operating costs charged to in-line tenants

Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 5,600,000−800,000×2

Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 4,000,000

Last step is to calculate the In-line CAM charges using this formula

In-line CAM charges=Operating costs charged to in-line tenants -In-line tenants square feet

Let plug in the formula

In-line CAM charges = 4,000,000 ÷ 1,300,000

In-line CAM charges= $3.08

Therefore the amount that in-line tenants have to pay per square foot will be $3.08 per square foot.

You are analyzing two companies that manufacture electronic toys--Like Games Inc. and Our Play Inc.

Total assets: 469,200
Using this information, complete the following statements in your analysis.
1. A _____ days of sales outstanding represents an efficient credit and collection policy. Between the two companies, _____ is collecting cash from its customers faster than _____, but both companies are collecting their receivables less quickly than the industry average.
2. Our Play's fixed assets turnover ratio is _____ than that of Like Games. This could be because Our Play is a relatively new company, so the acquisition cost of it fixed assets is _____ that the recorded cost of Like Games's net fixed assets.
3. Like Games's total assets turnover ratios is _____, which is _____, than the industry's average total assets turnover ratio. In general, a higher total assets turnover ratio indicates greater efficiency.

Answers

Answer:

1. A LOWER days of sales outstanding represents an efficient credit and collection policy. Between the two companies, LIKE GAMES is collecting cash from its customers faster than OUR PLAY, but both companies are collecting their receivables less quickly than the industry average.

2. Our Play's fixed assets turnover ratio is LOWER than that of Like Games. This could be because Our Play is a relatively new company, so the acquisition cost of it fixed assets is HIGHER that the recorded cost of Like Games's net fixed assets.

3. Like Games's total assets turnover ratios is 1.05, which is LOWER than the industry's average total assets turnover ratio. In general, a higher total assets turnover ratio indicates greater efficiency.

Explanation:

DSO = (accounts receivable / credit sales) x 365

DSO industry = (7,700 / 510,000) x 365 = 5.5 days

DSO Like Games = (5,400 / 200,000) x 365 = 9.9 days

DSO Our Play = (7,800 / 200,000) x 365 = 14.2 days

Fixed asset turnover ratio = net sales / average fixed assets

Fixed asset turnover ratio industry = 510,000 / 433,500 = 1.18

Fixed asset turnover ratio Like Games = 200,000 / 110,000 = 1.82

Fixed asset turnover ratio Our Play = 200,000 / 160,000 = 1.25

Total asset turnover ratio = net sales / average total assets

Total asset turnover ratio industry = 510,000 / 469,200 = 1.09

Total asset turnover ratio Like Games = 200,000 / 190,000 = 1.05

Total asset turnover ratio Our Play = 200,000 / 250,000 = 0.8

The company is considering hiring its own sales staff to replace the network of agents. It will pay its salespeople a commission of 9% and incur additional fixed costs of $9,480,000.
A. Calculate the company’s break-even point in sales dollars for the year 2017 if it hires its own sales force to replace the network of agents.
B. Calculate the degree of operating leverage at sales of $78,800,000 if (1) Bonita Beauty uses sales agents, and (2) Bonita Beauty employs its own sales staff.
C. Calculate the estimated sales volume in sales dollars that would generate an identical net income for the year ending December 31, 2017, regardless of whether Bonita Beauty Corporation employs its own sales staff and pays them an 10% commission or continues to use the independent network of agents.

Answers

Answer:

a) total sales = $79,000,000

variable costs:

COGS $32,390,000commissions $7,110,000total variable costs = $39,350,000

contribution margin ratio = $39,350,000 / $79,000,000 = 0.5

total fixed costs = $8,750,000 + $10,607,200 + $9,480,000 = $28,837,200

break even point = $28,837,200 / 0.5 = $57,674,400

b) one of the formulas that we can use to calculate the degree of operating leverage is:

operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs

1) total costs using sales agents = $8,750,000 + $10,607,200 + ($78,800,000 x 0.62) = $68,213,200

total fixed costs = $8,750,000 + $10,607,200 = $19,357,200

degree of operating leverage = $19,357,200 / $68,213,200 = 28.38%

2) total costs employing its own sales staff = ($78,800,000 x 0.5) + $8,750,000 + $10,607,200 + $9,480,000 = $68,237,200

total fixed costs = $28,837,200

degree of operating leverage = $28,837,200 / $68,237,200 = 42.26%

c) when the sales level is $79,000,000, the operating income for both alternatives is $10,662,800

($79,000,000 x 0.5) - $28,837,200 = $10,662,800

($79,000,000 x 0.38) - $19,357,200 = $10,662,800

Answer:

A or D

Explanation:

Precision Systems manufactures CD burners and currently sells 18,500 units annually to producers of laptop computers. Jay Wilson, president of the company, anticipates a 15 percent increase in the cost per unit of direct labor on January 1 of next year. He expects all other costs and expenses to remain unchanged. Wilson has asked you to assist him in developing the information he needs to formulate a reasonable product strategy for next year.

You are satisfied that volume is the primary factor affecting costs and expenses and have separated the semivariable costs into their fixed and variable segments. Beginning and ending inventories remain at a level of 1,000 units. Current plant capacity is 20,000 units. The following are the current-year data assembled for your analysis.

Sales price per unit $100
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $10
Direct labor $20
Manufacturing overhead and selling and administrative expenses 30 60
Contribution margin per unit (40%) $40
Fixed costs $390,000

Required:
a. What increase in the selling price is necessary to cover the 15 percent increase in direct labor cost and still maintain the current contribution margin ratio of 40 percent?
b. How many units must be sold to maintain the current operating income of $350,000 if the sales price remains at $100 and the 15 percent wage increase goes into effect?
c. Wilson believes that an additional $700,000 of machinery (to be depreciated at 20 percent annually) will increase present capacity (20,000 units) by 25 percent. If all units produced can be sold at the present price of $100 per unit and the wage increase goes into effect, how would the estimated operating income before capacity is increased compare with the estimated operating income after capacity is increased? Prepare schedules of estimated operating income at full capacity before and after the expansion.

Answers

Answer:

a. What increase in the selling price is necessary to cover the 15 percent increase in direct labor cost and still maintain the current contribution margin ratio of 40 percent?

estimated production costs per unit:

direct materials $10

direct labor $23

overhead $30

total $63

if we want contribution margin to remain at 40%, then selling price = $63 / (1 - 40%) = $105

to verify our answer, contribution margin = $105 - $63 = $42 / $105 = 40%

b. How many units must be sold to maintain the current operating income of $350,000 if the sales price remains at $100 and the 15 percent wage increase goes into effect?

if sales price doesn't change, then contribution margin = $37 (not $40)

units sold to keep profit at $350,000 = ($350,000 + $390,000) / $37 = 20,000 units per year

c. Wilson believes that an additional $700,000 of machinery (to be depreciated at 20 percent annually) will increase present capacity (20,000 units) by 25 percent. If all units produced can be sold at the present price of $100 per unit and the wage increase goes into effect, how would the estimated operating income before capacity is increased compare with the estimated operating income after capacity is increased? Prepare schedules of estimated operating income at full capacity before and after the expansion.

working at full capacity, sales price $100 (unchanged) and direct labor costs increasing by 15%

                                          capacity 20,000          capacity 25,000

sales revenue                     $2,000,000                  $2,500,000

direct labor                          $460,000                      $575,000

direct materials                   $200,000                      $250,000

overhead                             $600,000                      $750,000

fixed costs                           $390,000                      $670,000      

operating revenue              $350,000                      $255,000

The expansion will result in lower operating profits ($95,000 less) so it should be discarded.

f Europe has a real GDP growth rate of 5%, and the United States has a real GDP growth rate of 6%, while money growth in Europe is 7%, and money growth in the United States is 5%, what would the monetary exchange rate model predict for exchange rates in the long run

Answers

Answer:

the dollar will appreciate by 3% against the euro

Explanation:

long run change in the exchange rate = (growth rate money supply Europe - growth rate money supply US) - (growth rate real GDP Europe - growth rate real GDP US) = (7% -  5%) - (5% - 6%) = 2% - (-1%) = 2% + 1% = 3%

This is a very simplistic approach to the monetary exchange rate model, but since we are given only this information, it's all that we can use.

Answers

Answer:

This technique is called "bait and switch", it is illegal and is considered false advertising. A seller cannot falsely advertise a product and then simply say that they do not have it on stock. It is a type of sales fraud and it is prohibited by the Lanham Act.

In order for this situation to be considered legal, the seller must have advertised and sold a certain amount of coats, but it didn't sell any. I.e. the seller runs out of stock because it already sold the 3 coats.

Explanation:

The CPI is the measure of the average changes in prices of consumer goods and services. The CPI compares current prices and prices at the base year.

CPI is expressed as a percentage. It represents the cost of goods in a given year divided by the cost of goods in the base year multiplied by 100.

A check register shows a balance of $152.34. The bank statement shows that a check for $75.00 deposited by the account owner was drawn against insufficient funds and was returned. A charge for $2.00 was also deducted by the bank because of the return. Compute the adjusted cash balance of the check register.

Answers

Answer:

$150.34

Explanation:

The $75 check has been drawn against insufficient funds and has been returned so this check won't be included in the adjusted cash balance of the check register.

A charge for $2.0 will be deducted from the balance shown by the cash register above to calculate the adjusted cash balance of the check register.

Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $152.34 - $2

Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $150.34

The choice is for PC Software Inc. to follow the US GAAP rule, which states that development costs incurred for an internally-generated software should be capitalized only when the software is commercially feasible.  Based on this, only 40% of the software expenditures are capitalized.

Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, is a leading international mining company of copper, gold, and molybdenum. Its revenues were over $16 billion with net income of nearly $2 billion in a recent year.

Assume that in February 2020, Freeport-McMoRan paid $800,000 for a mineral deposit in Indonesia. During March, it spent $70,000 in preparing the deposit for exploitation. It was estimated that 1,000,000 total cubic yards could be extracted economically. During 2020, 60,000 cubic yards were extracted. During January 2021, the company spent another $6,000 for additional developmental work that increased the estimated productive capacity of the mineral deposit.

Required:
a. Compute the acquisition cost of the deposit in 2020.
b. Compute depletion for 2020.
c. Compute the net book value of the deposit after payment of the January 2021 developmental costs.

Answers

Answer:

A. $ 870,000

B. $52,200

C. $823,800

Explanation:

a. Computation for acquisition cost.

Using this formula

Acquistion cost= 800,000 +70,000

Acquistion cost=$ 870,000

2. Computation for depletion

Depletion for 2020=

(870,000/1,000,000)*60,000

Depletion for 2020=0.87*60,000

Depletion for 2020= $52,200

3. Computation for the net book value

Net book value =$870,000 -$52,200 +$6,000

Net book value=$823,800

a stock will pay dividend of $4 at the end of the year. it sells today for $104 and it its dividends are expected grow at a rate of 9%. what is the implied rate of return on this stock

Answers

Answer:

the implied rate of return on the stock is 14.80%

Explanation:

The computation of the implied rate of return is shown below:

The Rate of return is

= (Dividend at year 1  ÷  share price) + growth rate

= ( $6 ÷ 104) + 0.09

= 0.058 + 0.09

= 14.80%

We simply applied the above formula

And, the same is to be considered

hence, the implied rate of return on the stock is 14.80%

Lina Martinez wants to buy a new high-end audio system for her car. The system is being sold by two dealers in town, both of whom sell the equipment for the same price of $2,000. Lina can buy the equipment from Dealer A, with no money down, by making payments of $118.28 a month for 18 months; she can buy the same equipment from Dealer B by making 36 monthly payments of $70.31 (again, with no money down). Lina is considering purchasing the system from Dealer B because of the lower payment.
Find the APR for Dealer A.
Use the financial calculator and Find the APR for Dealer B

Answers

Answer:

dealer A:

total interest charged = ($118.28 x 18 months) - $2,000 = $129.04

APR = [($129.04 / $2,000) / 1.5 periods] x 100% = 4.3%

dealer B:

total interest charged = ($70.31 x 36 months) - $2,000 = $531.16

APR = [($531.16 / $2,000) / 3 periods] x 100% = 8.85%

The APR charged by dealer A is much lower than the APR charged by dealer B. Even thought the monthly payments are much lower for dealer B, the total amount of interest charged is much higher.
