Polson Pool Company is involved in a number of competitive bidding situations. The following costs are anticipated for a project to be bid for Terrance Manufacturing:
Direct material $ 680,000
Direct labor 2,450,000
Allocated variable overhead 570,000
Allocated fixed cost 230,000
Which of these costs would be treated differently if Polson had either excess capacity or no excess capacity?
a. Allocated variable overhead, $570,000
b. Direct labor, $2,450,000
c. Allocated fixed cost, $230,000
d. Direct materials used, $680,000.
Answer: c. Allocated fixed cost, $230,000
Explanation:
The Allocated fixed cost is fixed based on a certain level of production. If Polson had excess capacity to produce more goods or no excess capacity, the allocated fixed costs would have to be treated differently to account for this.
The variable costs however would not have to change because they are already based on the quantity of goods produced so even if there is excess or no excess capacity, their cost per unit would not change.
Following are data for BioBeans and GreenKale, which sell organic produce and are of similar size. BioBeans GreenKale Average total assets $ 215,000 $ 166,500 Net sales 105,000 33,300 Net income 15,050 3,900 Required: 1a. Compute the profit margin for both companies. 1b. Compute the return on total assets for both companies. 2. Based on analysis of these two measures, which company is the preferred investment
Answer:
1a. We have:
BioBeans' profit margin = 14.33%
GreenKale's profit margin = 11.71%
1b. We have:
BioBeans' return on total assets = 7%
GreenKale's return on total assets = 2.34%
2. BioBeans is the preferred investment.
Explanation:
1a. Compute the profit margin for both companies.
Profit margin = Net income / Net sales ........... (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
BioBeans' profit margin = $15,050 / $105,000 = 0.1433, or 14.33%
GreenKale's profit margin = $3,900 / $33,300 = 0.1171, or 11.71%
1b. Compute the return on total assets for both companies.
Return on total assets = Net income / Average total assets ............ (2)
Using equation (1), we have:
BioBeans' return on total assets = $15,050 / $215,000 = 0.07, or 7%
GreenKale's return on total assets = $3,900 / $166,500 = 0.0234, or 2.34%
2. Based on analysis of these two measures, which company is the preferred investment?
Since the profit margin and return on total assets of BioBeans are greater than the profit margin and return on total assets of GreenKale, this indicates that BioBeans is the preferred investment.

Lumpkin Company sells lamps and other lighting fixtures. The purchasing department manager prepared the following inventory purchases budget. Lumpkin’s policy is to maintain an ending inventory balance equal to 10 percent of the following month’s cost of goods sold. April’s budgeted cost of goods sold is $40,000. Required Complete the inventory purchases budget by filling in the missing amounts.
Answer:
February.
Desired ending inventory = 10% of March Cost of goods(COGS):
= 10% * 35,000
= $3,500
Inventory needed = COGS + ending inventory
= 32,000 + 3,500
= $35,500
Beginning inventory = January ending inventory = $3,200
Required Purchases = Inventory needed - Beginning inventory
= 35,500 - 3,200
= $32,300
March
Desired ending inventory = 10% of April COGS:
= 10% * 40,000
= $4,000
Inventory needed:
= 35,000 + 4,000
= $39,000
Beginning inventory = February ending inventory = $3,500
Required purchases:
= 39,000 - 3,500
= $35,500
Kim works for a clothing manufacturer as a dress designer. During 2020, she travels to New York City to attend five days of fashion shows and then spends three days sightseeing. Her expenses are as follows:
Airfare $1,800
Lodging (8 nights) 2,340
Meals (8 days) 2,160
Airport transportation 115
Assume lodging/meals are the same amount for the business and personal portion of the trip ($293 per day for lodging and $270 per day for meals).
Required:
a. Presuming no reimbursement, how much can kim deduct as to the trip?
b. Would the tax treatment of Kim's deduction differ if she was an independent contractor (rather than an employee)? Explain.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Presuming no reimbursement, how much can kim deduct as to the trip?
Airfare = $1,800
Add: Lodging = $2340 × 5/8 = $1462.50
Add: Meals = $2160 × 5/8 × 50% = $675
Add: Airport transportation = $115
Total deduction = $4052.50
b. Would the tax treatment of Kim's deduction differ if she was an independent contractor (rather than an employee)? Explain
The tax treatment of Kim's deduction if she was an independent contractor will be:
Airfare = $1,800
Add: Lodging = $2340 × 5/8 = $1462.50
Add: Meals = $2160 × 5/8 × 50% = $675
Add: Airport transportation = $115
Total deduction = $4052.50
Therefore, the tax treatment of Kim's deduction still remains the same.

Answer:
COGS= $960,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventroy= $65,000
Ending inventory= $55,000
Total Purchase= 220,000 + 140,000 + 170,000+ 420,000= $950,000
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:

You have your choice of two investment accounts. Investment A is a 6-year annuity that features end-of-month $1,980 payments and has an interest rate of 7 percent compounded monthly. Investment B is an annually compounded lump-sum investment with an interest rate of 9 percent, also good for 6 years.
How much money would you need to invest in B today for it to be worth as much as Investment A 6 years from now? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
$112,166
Explanation:
the future value of Investment A:
payment = $1,980
n = 6 x 12 = 72
i = 9% / 12 = 0.75%
FVIFA = [(1 + i)ⁿ- 1 ] / i = [(1 + 0.0075)⁷² - 1 ] / 0.0075 = 95.007
future value = $1,980 x 95.007 = $188,114
now we need to determine the PV of investment B:
PV = $188,114 / (1 + 9%)⁶ = $112,166
Answer: $105,264.24
Explanation:
Step 1) Calculate Future Value of Investment A
Rate: .07/12 = .58%
Payment: $1,980
Term: 72 (6 years * 12 months)
Future Value: ?
In excel -> FV(.58,72,-1980,0)
Future Value = $176,538.67
Step 2) Calculate Present Value of Investment B using Investment A Future Value
Rate: .09
Payment: $0
Term: 6
Future Value: $176,538.67 (from step 1)
PV(.09,6,0,-176538.67)
Present Value = $105,264.24
Thats your answer!! ^^^^^
You can also use the formula or calculator, but I've found excel is the easiest/fastest.

B. Country Selection 1.80% loss relative to EAFE
C. Stock Selection -2.6%loss relative to EAFE
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the contribution to total performance from currency, country, and stock selection for the manager in the
A. Calculation for CURRENCY SELECTION
Using this formula
EAFE / Manager weight * Currency appreciation ( E1 / E0 - 1 )
Let plug in the formula
EAFE =[ 0.6 * ( 1 - 1 ) ] + [ 0.3 * ( 1.4 - 1 ) ] + [ 0.1 * ( 1.2- 1 ) ]
EAFE= 0+0.12+0.02
EAFE=14%
Manager =[ 0.6 * ( 1- 1 ) ] + [ 0.1 * ( 1.4 - 1 ) ] + [ 0.3 * ( 1.2- 1 ) ]
Manager=0+0.04+0.06
Manager=10%
Loss relative to EAFE=(10%-14%)
Loss relative to EAFE=4%
4% loss relative to EAFE
B. Calculation for COUNTRY SELECTION
Using this formula
EAFE/ Manager weight × Return on Equity Index
Let plug in the formula
EAFE = [ 0.6 * 15% + 0.3 * 16% + 0.1* 20% ]
EAFE = 0.09+0.048+0.02
EAFE = 15.8%
Manager = [ 0.6 * 12% + 0.1 * 17% + 0.3 * 17% ] Manager =0.072+0.017+0.051
Manager =14%
Loss relative to EAFE=15.8%-14%
Loss relative to EAFE=1.80%
1.80% loss relative to EAFE
C. Calculation for STOCK SELECTION
Using this formula
Stock Selection=( Manager’s return - Return on Equity Index ) × Manager weight
Let plug in the formula
Stock Selection=[ ( 12% - 15% ) * 0.6 ] + [ ( 17% - 16% ) * 0.1 ] + [ ( 17% - 20% ) * 0.3 ]
Stock Selection=-0.018+0.001+-0.009
Stock Selection=-2.6%
-2.6% loss relative to EAFE

Variable overhead costs:
Supplies $7,980 $8,230
Indirect labor 29,820 29,610
Total variable manufacturing overhead cost $37,800 $37,840
The original budget was based on 4,200 machine-hours. The company actually worked 4,350 machine-hours during the month and the standard hours allowed for the actual output were 4,190 machine-hours. What was the overall variable overhead efficiency variance for the month?
a. $130 Unfavorable
b. $950 Favorable
c. $1,440 Unfavorable
d. $1,310 Favorable
Answer:
c. $1,440 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Standard hours - Actual working hours) * Standard Rate
Variable overhead efficiency variance = ($4,190 hours - $4,350 hours)*($37,800/4,200 hours)
Variable overhead efficiency variance = ($4,190 hours - $4,350 hours)*$9 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance = 160 hours*$9 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance = $1,440 Unfavorable

An economy is in long-run macroeconomic equilibrium when each of the following aggregate demand shocks occurs: a. A stock market boom increases the value of stocks held by households. b. Firms come to believe that a recession is likely in the near future. c. Anticipating the possibility of war, the government increases its purchases of military equipment. d. The quantity of money in the economy declines, and interest rates increase.
Answer:
Following are the solution to these question:
Explanation:
In point a:
The population feels wealthier and seems to be socially secure. This will boost consumption, moving AD to the correct. There is a difference in deflation. Govt must adopt a discretionary monetary policy to fight deflation, that will change AD left.
In point b:
Expenditure has been decreased to increasing jobs or costs. Disinflationary distance exists. To improve DA (shift rectors) and restore full job production, Govt must pursue the expansionary monetary policy.
In point c:
It will once again raise NPA because part A contributes to even more competition with higher public expenditure. The deflation divide is that there is. That alternative is an expansionary tax reform to move to the left.
In point d:
The rise in interest rates declines expenditure and, as part B, reduces AD. The deflationary difference remains. Government must use expansionary monetary policy to fight it, moving AD to a correct.

On June 30, 2021, Princeton Company paid $316,500 cash for all assets and liabilities of Streeter, which will cease to exist as a separate entity. In connection with the acquisition, Princeton paid $12,700 in legal fees. Princeton also agreed to pay $63,800 to the former owners of Streeter contingent on meeting certain revenue goals during 2022. Princeton estimated the present value of its probability adjusted expected payment for the contingency at $20,100.
In determining its offer, Princeton noted the following pertaining to Streeter:
It holds a building with a fair value $43,100 more than its book value.
It has developed a customer list appraised at $25,200, although it is not recorded in its financial records.
It has research and development activity in process with an appraised fair value of $36,400. However, the project has not yet reached technological feasibility and the assets used in the activity have no alternative future use.
Book values for the receivables, inventory, equipment, and liabilities approximate fair values.

Jensen Automotive produces alternators for American-made cars. They generally use a static budget with the following costs based on 8,000 units per month: indirect materials, $22,000; indirect labor, $25,000; utilities, $12,000; supervision, $4,000; depreciation, $18,000. If Jensen wanted to create a flexible budget for 9,000 units, what value would they record for variable costs
Answer:
the value that should be recorded for variable cost is $66,375
Explanation:
The computation of the value that should be recorded for variable cost is shown below:
= Total variable cost ÷ budgeted units × flexible budget units
= ($22,000 + $25,000 + $12,000) ÷ 8,000 units × 9,000 units
= $59,000 ÷ 8,000 units × 9,000 units
= $66,375
hence, the value that should be recorded for variable cost is $66,375
The above formula is used
Bismark Inc, a large manufacturer of heavy equipment components, has determined the following activity cost pools and cost driver levels for the year:
Activity Cost Pool Activity Cost Activity Cost Driver
Machine Setup $600,000 15,000 setup hours
Material handling 90,000 3,000 tons of materials
Machine operation 420,000 12,000 machine hours
The following data are for the production of single batches of two products, Camshafts and Swing Drives during the month of August:
Camshafts Swing Drives
Units produced 1,500 900
Machine hours 4 5
Direct labor hours 300 500
Direct labor cost $7,000 $12,000
Direct materials cost $40,000 $30,000
Tons of materials 10 7
Setup hours 5 8
Determine the unit costs of Camshafts and Swing Drives using ABC. Round answers to the nearest cent.
Camshafts $ _____
Swing Drives $_____
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine Setup= 600,000 / 15,000= $40 per setup hour
Material handling= 90,000 / 3,000= $30 per ton of material
Machine operation= 420,000 / 12,000= $35 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate costs to each product:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Camshafts:
Machine Setup= 40*5= $200
Material handling= 30*10= $300
Machine operation= 35*4= $140
Total allocated costs= $640
Swing Drives:
Machine Setup= 40*8= $320
Material handling= 30*7= $210
Machine operation= 35*5= $175
Total allocated costs= $705
Finally, the unitary cost:
Camshafts:
Total cost= 40,000 + 7,000 + 640= $47,640
Unitary cost= 47,640 / 1,500= $31.76
Swing Drives:
Total cost= 30,000 + 12,000 + 705= $42,705
Unitary cost= 42,705 / 900= $47.45
