Answer: 6520 + 3x
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to calculate the variable cost per hour which will be:
= (Highest activity cost – Lowest activity cost)/(Highest activity hour – Lowest activity hour)
= (9460 - 7300)/(980 - 260)
= 2160 / 720
= 3
We'll also find the fixed cost which will be:
= Fixed cost = Highest activity cost – (Variable cost per hour x Highest activity hour)
= 9460 - ( 3 x 980)
= 9460 - 2940
= 6520
Therefore, the cost function will be:
= 6520 + 3x
Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed. Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Answer:
(a) Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build. Therefore, Judy cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
(a) Judy orally promises her daughter, Liza, that she will give her a tract of land for her home. Liza, as intended by Judy, gives up her homestead and takes possession of the land. Liza lives there for six months and starts construction of a home. Now Judy wants to rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed.
Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Each of the two cases will be decided based on the principle promissory estoppel.
Promissory estoppel refers to the legal principle that states that despite that there us formal consideration attached to a promise, it is still enforceable by law if the promise from the promisor makes the promisee to rely on the promise to his subsequent detriment.
(a) Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build?
Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build.
The is because Liza has relied on the promise from Judy to her subsequent detriment by giving up her up her homestead and already starts construction of a home. Since the Judy promise from Judy induces the action of Liza that is reasonably expected by Judy, he cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land.
This is because there is Ed has not taken any definite and substantial action to justify that he has relied on the promise from Ralph to his subsequent detriment. It may not be possible to construe the purchase of an option on the tract of land by Ed as a definite and substantial action. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.

Trainor Corporation purchased equipment on January 1, 2020 at a cost of $500,000. The equipment has an estimated residual value of $50,000 and an estimated life of 5 years. At the end of two years, Trainor reevaluated the useful life of the equipment. Management extended the total useful life an additional 5 years but estimated that the equipment would have no residual value at the end of this time. If the company uses straight-line depreciation, what amount would be recorded as depreciation expense each year, beginning with the third year
Answer:
Depreciation per year $40,000
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense each year, beginning with the third year is shown below:
Purchase cost $500,000
Less residual value -$50,000
Depreciable cost $450,000
Depreciation per year $90,000 ($450,000 ÷ 5 years)
For two years, the depreciation is $180,000
Book value at the end of the 2nd year is $320,000
($500,000 - $180,000)
Depreciation per year $40,000 ($320,000 ÷ 8 years)

3. Please mention the change for demand and supply curve
Answer:
1.It's a fundamental economic principle that when supply exceeds demand for a good or service, prices fall. When demand exceeds supply, prices tend to rise. There is an inverse relationship between the supply and prices of goods and services when demand is unchanged.
2.Supply and demand, in economics, relationship between the quantity of a commodity that producers wish to sell at various prices and the quantity that consumers wish to buy.
3.A demand curve shows the relationship between quantity demanded and price in a given market on a graph. ... A supply curve shows the relationship between quantity supplied and price on a graph. The law of supply says that a higher price typically leads to a higher quantity supplied.
Melissa is a crafting machine! She has used this time in quarantine to finesses her skills and has decided to open up a booth at the Groove Street Farmers Market (Monday’s 4-7pm). She does this for fun but before making her next batch of inventory wants to know which products, she should make to maximize her profit. She makes soaps and candles. The soap sells for $18 and the candles sell for $25. The soap requires coconut oil (2 tablespoons), essential oil (5 drops), and soap base (1 per item). The candles require coconut oil (3 tablespoons), essential oil (8 drops), and wax (1 per item). Coconut oil is $12 a jar and contains 112 tablespoons. Essential oils are $50 a container and contains 150 drops. A soap base is 2$ and a wax base is $2.25. Melissa currently has 3 jars of coconut oil, 2.5 bottles of essential oil, 25 soap bases, and 25 wax bases. If Melissa wants to maximize her profit how many soaps and candles should she make for her next both?
Answer:
The maximum profit of $847.03 occurs when Melissa produces 25 soaps and 25 candles.
Explanation:
The linear programming equations forms as follows:
Cost of producing 1 Soap=Cost of Soap Base+Cost of Coconut Oil+Cost of Essential Oil
Cost of Soap base is $2.
Cost of Coconut Oil for one soap is [tex]\$\dfrac{2}{112}\times12[/tex].
Cost of Essential Oil for one soap is [tex]\$\dfrac{5}{150}\times50[/tex]
So the total cost of 1 soap is
[tex]\text{Cost of producing 1 Soap}=\$2+\$\dfrac{2}{112}\times12+\$\dfrac{5}{150}\times50\\\text{Cost of producing 1 Soap}=\$2+\$0.21428+\$1.6666\\\text{Cost of producing 1 Soap}=\$3.8808[/tex]
So the cost of producing one bar of soap is 3.8808
So the profit per soap is
[tex]\text{Profit}=\text{Selling Price}-\text{Cost}[/tex]
Here selling price is $18 for soap so
[tex]\text{Profit}=\text{Selling Price}-\text{Cost}\\\text{Profit}=\$18-\$3.8808\\\text{Profit}=\$14.1192[/tex]
Profit per soap is $14.1192.
Similarly the cost of producing 1 candle is as follows:
Cost of producing 1 Candle=Cost of Wax Base+Cost of Coconut Oil+Cost of Essential Oil
Cost of Wax base is $2.25.
Cost of Coconut Oil for one candle is [tex]\$\dfrac{3}{112}\times12[/tex].
Cost of Essential Oil for one candle is [tex]\$\dfrac{8}{150}\times50[/tex]
So the total cost of 1 candle is
[tex]\text{Cost of producing 1 Candle}=\$2.25+\$\dfrac{3}{112}\times12+\$\dfrac{8}{150}\times50\\\text{Cost of producing 1 Candle}=\$2.25+\$0.32142+\$2.6666\\\text{Cost of producing 1 Candle}=\$5.2380[/tex]
So the cost of producing one candle is $35.2380
So the profit per candle is
[tex]\text{Profit}=\text{Selling Price}-\text{Cost}[/tex]
Here selling price is $25 for a candle so
[tex]\text{Profit}=\text{Selling Price}-\text{Cost}\\\text{Profit}=\$25-\$5.2380\\\text{Profit}=\$19.7620[/tex]
Profit per candle is $19.7620.
If the number of soaps produced is X and the number of candles produced is Y then the maximization function of profit is given as
[tex]Z=f(X,Y)=14.1192X+19.7620Y[/tex]
Also the constraints are given as follows:
If Melissa has 3 jars of coconut oil and each jar has 112 tablespoons thus the total tablespoons Melissa has are 336. If 2 tablespoon coconut oil is used for 1 soap and 3 tablespoons are used for 1 candle thus
[tex]2X+3Y\leq336[/tex]
Similarly, Melissa has 2.5 containers of essential oil and each container has 150 drops thus the total drops Melissa has are 375. If 5 drops of essential oil are used for 1 soap and 8 drops are used for 1 candle thus
[tex]5X+8Y\leq375[/tex]
For the soap bases, each soap uses 1 soap bases and total soap bases are 25 thus
[tex]X\leq25[/tex]
Similarly, for the wax base, each candle uses 1 wax base, and the total wax bases are 25 thus.
[tex]Y\leq25[/tex]
So the linear programming model becomes
[tex]2X+3Y\leq336\\5X+8Y\leq375\\X\leq25\\Y\leq25[/tex]
with maximization of
[tex]Z=f(X,Y)=14.1192X+19.7620Y[/tex]
Now solving this using the graphical method of linear programming as attached gives:
The maximum profit of 847.03 occur when Melissa produces 25 soaps and 25 candles.

Masterson, Inc., has 4.4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $89.50, and the book value per share is $11.25. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $81 million, a coupon rate of 5.1%, and sells for 96.5% of par. The second issue has a face value of $53 million, a coupon rate of 5.8%, and sells for 106.5% of par. The first issue matures in 25 years, the second in 9 years. The most recent dividend was $4.28 and the dividend growth rate is 5.3%. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semi-annual payments. The tax rate is 21%.

Explanation:
Lily Company sells automatic can openers under a 75-day warranty for defective merchandise. Based on past experience, Lily estimates that 4% of the units sold will become defective during the warranty period. Management estimates that the average cost of replacing or repairing a defective unit is $20. The units sold and units defective that occurred during the last 2 months of 2020 are as follows:
Months Units Sold Units Defective Prior to December 31
November 37,300 746
December 39,300 491
Required:
a. Prepare the journal entries to record the estimated liability for warranties and the costs incurred in honoring 1,237 warranty claims.
b. Determine the estimated warranty liability at December 31 for the units sold in November and December.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
In November month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 37,300
= 1,492
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units is
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,492 × $20
= $29,840
In December month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 39,300
= 1,572
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units:
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,572 × $20
= $31,440
Now the Total estimated liability is
= $29,840 + $31,440
= $61,280
The Journal entries are as follows:
(a) Warranty expenses A/c Dr. $61,280
To Estimated warranty payable $61,280
(Being warranty expense is recorded)
Estimated warranty payable A/c Dr. $24,740
To Cash/ Material consume $24,740
(being cash paid is recorded)
(b) The estimated warranty liability is $61,280
The Kelsh Company has two divisions--North and South. The divisions have the following revenues and expenses:
North South
Sales $900,000 $800,000
Variable expenses 450,000 300,000
Traceable fixed expenses 260,000 210,000
Allocated common corporate expenses 240,000 190,000
Net operating income (loss) ($50,000) $100,000
Management at Kelsh is pondering the elimination of the North Division. If the North Division were eliminated, its traceable fixed expenses could be avoided. The total common corporate expenses would be unaffected.
Given this data, the elimination of the North Division would result in an overall company operating income of:
a. 50,000
b. 150,000
c. (140,000)
d. 100,000
Answer:
c. (140,000)
Explanation:
Effect on net income of dropping the North Division:
Sales $(900,000)
Variable expenses $450,000
Contribution margin $(450,000)
Traceable fixed expenses $260,000
Effect on net income ($190,000)
Since the North Division currently have Net operating income (loss) of ($50,000), so therefore, after dropping the North Division, the overall company net operating loss will be $140,000 ($50,000 - $190,000).
Machinery purchased for $69,600 by Tamarisk Co. in 2016 was originally estimated to have a life of 8 years with a salvage value of $4,640 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been entered for 5 years on this basis. In 2021, it is determined that the total estimated life should be 10 years with a salvage value of $5,220 at the end of that time. Assume straight-line depreciation.
Prepare the entry to correct the prior years' depreciation, if necessary.
Prepare the entry to record depreciation for 2021.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
a. No journal entry is required
b. Depreciation expense $4,756
To Accumulated depreciation-Machinery $4,756
(Being depreciation expense is recorded)
Here the depreciation expense is debited as it increased the expense and credited the accumulated depreciation as it decreased the assets
Working
Accumulated depreciation is
= ($69,600 - $4,640 ÷ 8 × 5)
= $40,600
Now Revised depreciation is
= ($69,600 - $40,600 - $5,220) ÷ 5
= $4,756

Is the change in the earnings per share from 20Y5 to 20Y6 favorable or unfavorable
Answer:
a) EPS
2005 Earnings per share=$18.3
2005 Earnings per share=$21.6
b) EPS Variance = $3.3 favorable
Explanation:
Earnings per share(EPS) is the total earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the number of units of common stock
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders= Net income after tax - preference dividend
Earnings per share = (Net income after tax - preference dividend)/Number of shares
2005 Earnings per share = $1,687,000- $40,000/90,000 shares=$18.3
2006 Earnings per share=($2,632,000- $40,000)/120,000 shares=$21.6
2005 Earnings per share=$18.3
2006 Earnings per share=$21.6
EPS Variance
Comparing the EPS the Earning per share in 2006 is higher than that of 2005. Hence, the variance = 21.6-18.3= $3.3 favorable
EPS Variance = $3.3 favorable

Marigold Corp. purchased a new machine on May 1, 2012 for $558000. At the time of acquisition, the machine was estimated to have a useful life of ten years and an estimated salvage value of $22800. The company has recorded monthly depreciation using the straight-line method. On March 1, 2021, the machine was sold for $71400. What should be the loss recognized from the sale of the machine
Answer:
$18,300 loss
Explanation:
Profit or Loss on sale of an asset is calculated in the asset`s disposal account. Simply stated, Profit or Loss on sale is Cash Receipt from sale less Carrying Amount of an asset.
where,
Accumulated depreciation = $428,160 + 40,140 = $468,300
Carrying Amount = $558000 - $468,300 = $89,700
therefore

Estimate the equity cost of capital for Mackenzie. b. Under the CGDM, at what rate do you need to expect Mackenzie's dividends to grow to get the same equity cost of capital as in part (a)?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the equity cost of capital is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk Premium × Beta
= 5.20% + 4.90% × 1.30
= 11.57%
b. Now the rate at which the dividend should be grow is
Value of the stock = Expected dividend ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)
$38 = $2 ÷ (11.57% - growth rate)
so, the growth rate is 6.31%
In its most recent annual report, Appalachian Beverages reported current assets of $54,000 and a current ratio of 1.80. Assume that the following transactions were completed: (1) purchased merchandise for $6,000 on account, and (2) purchased a delivery truck for $10,000, paying $1,000 cash and signing a two-year promissory note for the balance.
Compute the updated current ratio (round answers to 2 decimal places)
Transaction (1) ________________
Transaction (2) ________________
Answer:
Current Ratio - Transaction 1 = 1.6666 rounded off to 1.67
Current Ratio - Transaction 2 = 1.6388 rounded off to 1.64
Explanation:
The current ratio is a measure of liquidity which measures the amount of current assets a business has to pay off each $1 of current liability. It is calculated as follows,
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
We know the initial current ratio and current assets. The initial current liabilities will be,
1.8 = 54000 / Current Liabilities
Current Liabilities = 54000 / 1.8
Current Liabilities = $30000
Transaction 1
The result of transaction 1 will be that the current assets will increase by $6000 as inventory increases and the current liabilities will also increase by $6000 as accounts payable are increasing. The new current ratio will be,
Current Ratio - Transaction 1 = (54000 + 6000) / (30000 + 6000)
Current Ratio - Transaction 1 = 1.6666 rounded off to 1.67
Transaction 2
The result of transaction 2 will be that the current assets will decrease by $1000 as payment for truck which is a fixed asset is made partly by cash and the current liabilities will not increase as the note signed for the remaining payment of the truck is due after 2 years thus it is a non current liability. The new current ratio will be,
Current Ratio - Transaction 2 = (54000 + 6000 -1000) / (30000 + 6000)
Current Ratio - Transaction 2 = 1.6388 rounded off to 1.64
Sam's Dog toys sells a Red toy and a Blue toy. The contribution margin for the Red toy is $5 and for the Blue toy is $10. The expected sales mix is 60% for Red toy and 40% for Blue toy. The total fixed costs amount to $3,000 and the company desires to earn a profit of $500. What is the sale volume in units necessary to reach the desired profit
Answer:
500 units
Explanation:
The computation of the sales units in volume to achieve the desired profit is shown below:
= (Fixed cost + target profit) ÷ (contribution margin per unit)
= ($3,000 + $500) ÷ ($5 × 60% + $10 × 40%)
= $3,500 ÷ 7
= 500 units
Hence, the sales units in volume to achieve the desired profit is 500 units
The above formula should be applied to determine the sales units
hence, the same would be considered
Calculate amortization expense
In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $4 million, patent; $5 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $6 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life.
What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items? (Enter your answers in dollars, not in millions.
Answer: $800,000
Explanation:
The total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items will be:
Ammortization value = Patent value / Useful life
= $4,000,000 / 5
= $800,000
Therefore, the ammortization value is $800,000 per year.

Therefore the third option is correct
Speed World Cycles sells high-performance motorcycles and motocross racers. One of Speed World’s most popular models is the Kazomma 900 dirt bike. During the current year, Speed World Cycles purchased eight of these bikes at the following costs.
Purchase Date Units Purchased Unit Cost Total Cost
July 1 2 $ 4,950 $ 9,900
July 22 3 5,000 15,000
Aug. 3 3 5,100 15,300
8 $ 40,200
On July 28, Speed World Cycles sold four Kazomma 900 dirt bikes to the Vince Wilson racing team. The remaining four bikes remained in inventory at September 30, the end of Speed World’s fiscal year.
Assume that Speed World Cycles uses a perpetual inventory system. (See the data provided.)
Required:
a-1. Compute the cost of goods sold relating to the sale on July 28 and the ending inventory of Kazomma 900 dirt bikes at September 30, using Average cost.
a-2. Compute the cost of goods sold relating to the sale on July 28 and the ending inventory of Kazomma 900 dirt bikes at September 30, using FIFO method.
a-3. Compute the cost of goods sold relating to the sale on July 28 and the ending inventory of Kazomma 900 dirt bikes at September 30, using LIFO method.
b-1. Which of the three cost flow assumptions will result in Speed World Cycles reporting the highest net income for the current year?
b-2. Which of the three cost flow assumptions minimizes the income taxes owed by Speed World Cycles for the year?
b-3. May Speed World Cycles use the cost flow assumption that results in the highest net income for the current year in its financial statements, but use the cost flow assumption that minimizes taxable income for the current year in its income tax return?
Answer:
Speed World Cycles
a. Average Cost FIFO LIFO
Cost of goods sold $20,100 $19,900 $20,300
Ending inventory $20,100 $20,300 $19,900
b-1. FIFO will result in Speed World Cycles reporting the highest net income for the current year, because of the reduced cost of goods sold.
b-2. LIFO minimizes the income taxes owed by Speed World Cycles for the year, because it reduces the income before taxes.
b-3. Yes. However, the cost flow assumptions self-correct in later years, by which time it is not allowed to be jumping from one cost flow assumption to another.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Purchase Date Units Purchased Unit Cost Total Cost
July 1 2 $ 4,950 $ 9,900
July 22 3 5,000 15,000
Aug. 3 3 5,100 15,300
Total 8 $ 40,200
July 28 Sold 4
September 30 4 (8 - 4)
Average cost = $40,200/8 = $5,025
a-1. Cost of goods sold = $20,100 (4 * $5,025)
Ending inventory = $20,100 (4 * $5,025)
a-2. FIFO:
Ending inventory = $20,300 (3 * $5,100 + 1 * $5,000)
Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available minus cost of ending inventory
= $40,200 - $20,300
= $19,900
a-3 LIFO:
Cost of goods sold = $20,300 (3 * $5,100 + 1 * $5,000)
Ending inventory = Cost of goods available minus cost of goods sold
= = $40,200 - $20,300
= $19,900

One thousand adults live in Milltown. Every day, they all leave work at 4:30 p.m., arrive home at exactly 5:00 p.m., and go to bed at 9:00 p.m. Three fundraisers, Alpha, Beta, and Charlie, have targeted Milltown's population. To get a donation, they must call Milltown's residents after they get home from work but before they go to bed. Because the charities raising the funds are identical, the first to call a willing donor will get the donation. Beta's manager has decided that the best time to call is 7:00 p.m. because it is exactly halfway between 5:00 p.m. and bedtime. Which of the following is true?
a. Alpha and Charlie will also make calls at 7:00 p.m.
b. Beta's manager did not choose wisely.
c. Alpha and Charlie will divide up the rest of the market, with one choosing to call at 6:00 p.m. and the other at 8:00 p.m.
d. Beta is certain to generate the most donations.
Answer:
b. Beta's manager did not choose wisely.
Explanation:
If you know that you are competing with identical charities, calling later will only result in fewer donations. The calls should start at 5 PM, and probably the three fundraisers will start calling at the same time. The only advantage that they can have depends on reaching the adults first, so the time of the calls is important.
