Answer:
A. $0.1 per can
B. $3,315
C. 0.098 per packaged can
Explanation:
a) Calculation to Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations.
Using this formula
Total activity cost per packaged = Total activity cost under present operations ÷ total cans packaged
Let plug in the formula
Total activity cost per packaged= $650,000 ÷ 6,500,000
Total activity cost per packaged= $0.1 per can
Therefore the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations is $0.1 per can
b) Calculation to Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.
First step is to calculate the Packaging cost per bottle =
Using this formula
Packaging cost per bottle = Current packaging cost ÷ total cans packaged
Let plug in the formula
Packaging cost per bottle = 110,500 ÷ 6,500,000
Packaging cost per bottle = $0.017 per bottle
Second step is to calculate the Total packaging cost
Using this formula
Total packaging cost = Total bottle × cost per bottle
Let plug in the formula
Total packaging cost= 6,695,000 × $0.017
Total packaging cost= $113,815
Now let determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.
Using this formula
Amount of increased packaging activity costs = total packaging cost - current packaging cost
Let plug in the formula
Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $113,815 - 110,500
Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $3,315
Therefore the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements is $3,315
c) Calculation to Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements
First step is to calculate Total activity cost using this formula
Total activity cost = Mixing cost + filling cost + packaging cost
Let plug in the formula
Total activity cost == $286,000 + $253,500 + $113,815
Total activity cost == $653,315
Now let determine the Expected total activity cost per packaged can
Using this formula
Expected total activity cost per packaged can = Total activity cost ÷ no. of bottles
Let plug in the formula
Expected total activity cost per packaged can= $653,315 ÷ 6,695,000
Expected total activity cost per packaged can=0.098 per packaged can
Therefore the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements is 0.098 per packaged can
The Ring Division of A1d-Y6z Company reported the following information for May: selling price per unit .................... $35 variable costs per unit ................... $12 turnover .................................. 2.50 residual income ........................... $229,600 margin .................................... 22% units sold ................................ 40,000 Calculate the number of units the Ring Division needed to sell in May in order for the residual income in May to be $505,600.
Answer:
52,000 units
Explanation:
Selling price = $35*40,000 = $1,400,000
Variable cost = $12 * 40,000 = $480,000
Contribution margin = $1,400,000 - $480,000 = $920,000
Fixed cost = Residual income + Contribution
Fixed cost = $920,000 - $229,600
Fixed cost = $690,400
Sales to earn residual income = [Fixed cost + Desired profit] / Contribution per unit
Sales to earn residual income = [$690,400 + $505,600] / $35 - $12
Sales to earn residual income = $1,196,000 / $23
Sales to earn residual income = 52,000 units
Assume that Jones Co. will need to purchase 100,000 Singapore dollars (S$) in 180 days. Today's spot rate of the S$ is $.50, and the 180-day forward rate is $.53. A call option on S$ exists, with an exercise price of $.52, a premium of $.02, and a 180-day expiration date. A put option on S$ exists, with an exercise price of $.51, a premium of $.02, and a 180-day expiration date. Jones has developed the following probability distribution for the spot rate in 180 days: The probability that the forward hedge will result in a higher payment than the options hedge is ____ (include the amount paid for the premium when estimating the U.S. dollars required for the options hedge).
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
Based on the information given The PROBABILITY that the FORWARD HEDGE will tend to result in a higher payment than the OPTIONS HEDGE is 10% which indicate or means that Jones will pay the amount of $48,000 calculated as ( $.48 *$100,000) which is lower or lesser than the amount of $58,000 calculated as ( $.53 *$100,000) that was been paid with the forward hedge.
Overnight Publishing Company (OPC) has $2.5 million in excess cash. The firm plans to use this cash either to retire all of its outstanding debt or to repurchase equity. The firm’s debt is held by one institution that is willing to sell it back to OPC for $2.5 million. The institution will not charge OPC any transaction costs. Once OPC becomes an all-equity firm, it will remain unlevered forever. If OPC does not retire the debt, the company will use the $2.5 million in cash to buy back some of its stock on the open market. Repurchasing stock also has no transaction costs. The company will generate $1,300,000 of annual earnings before interest and taxes in perpetuity regardless of its capital structure. The firm immediately pays out all earnings as dividends at the end of each year. OPC is subject to a corporate tax rate of 35 percent, and the required rate of return on the firm’s unlevered equity is 20 percent. The personal tax rate on interest income is 25 percent, and there are no taxes on equity distribution. Assume there are no bankruptcy costs
a. What is the value of OPC if it chooses to retire all of its debt and become an unlevered firm? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
b. What is the value of OPC if it decides to repurchase stock instead of retiring its debt? (Hint Use the equation for the value of a levered firm with personal tax on interest income i.e., V = V0 + (1 – [(1 – TC)/(1 – TB] * B-CB).) (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
c. What is the value of OPC if the expected bankruptcy costs have a present value of $400,000? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
a. Company value
b. Company value
c. Unlevered value Levered value
Answer:
A. $4,225,000
B. $4,558,333.33
C. $4,158,333.33
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the value of OPC if it chooses to retire all of its debt and become an unlevered firm
Using this formula
VU= (EBIT)(1 – tC) / R0
Let plug in the formula
VU= ($1,300,000)(1 – .35) / .20
VU= $4,225,000
Therefore the value of OPC if it chooses to retire all of its debt and become an unlevered firm is $4,225,000
b. Calculation to determine the value of OPC if it decides to repurchase stock instead of retiring its debt
Using this formula
VL= VU+ {1 – [(1 – tC) / (1 – tB)}] × B
Let plug in the formula
VL= $4,225,000 + {1 – [(1 – .35) / (1 – .25)]} × $2,500,000
VL= $4,558,333.33
Therefore the value of OPC if it decides to repurchase stock instead of retiring its debt is $4,558,333.33
c. Calculation to determine the value of OPC if the expected bankruptcy costs have a present value of $400,000
Using this formula
VL= VU+ {1 – [(1 – tC) / (1 – tB)}] × B – C(B)
Let plug in the formula
VL= ($4,225,000 + {1 – [(1 – .35) / (1 – .25)]} × $2,500,000) –$400,000
VL= $4,158,333.33
Therefore the value of OPC if the expected bankruptcy costs have a present value of $400,000 is $4,158,333.33
Finerly Corporation sells cosmetics through a network of independent distributors. Finerly shipped cosmetics to its distributors and is considering whether it should record $220,000 of revenue upon shipment of a new line of cosmetics. Finerly expects the distributors to be able to sell the cosmetics, but is uncertain because it has little experience with selling cosmetics of this type. Finerly is committed to accepting the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold. How much revenue should Finerly recognize upon delivery to its distributors
Answer:
The amount of revenue Finerly should recognize upon delivery to its distributors is $0.
Explanation:
From the question, the following two very important points can be observed:
1. Finerly expects the distributors to be able to sell the cosmetics, but is uncertain because it has little experience with selling cosmetics of this type.
2. Finerly is committed to accepting the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold.
Since there is an uncertainty that the the distributors will be able to sell the cosmetics and Finerly is committed to accepting them back from the distributors if they are not sold, these imply that the amount of sales revenue cannot be known or reasonably estimated until when the distributors actually sell the cosmetics.
Therefore, the amount of revenue Finerly should recognize upon delivery to its distributors is $0.
Zing Coffee Company produces Columbian coffee in batches of 6,500 pounds. The standard quantity of materials required in the process is 6,500 pounds, which cost $6 per pound. Columbian coffee can be sold without further processing for $9 per pound. Columbian coffee can also be processed further to yield Decaf Columbian, which can be sold for $12 per pound. The processing into Decaf Columbian requires additional processing costs of $10.230 per batch. The additional processing will also cause a 5% loss of product due to evaporation.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated October 6, 2014 on whether to sell regular Columbian (Alternative 1) or process further into Decaf Columbian (Alternative 2).
b. Determine the price of Deaf Columbian that would cause neither an advantage nor a disadvantage for processing further and selling Decaf Columbian.

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production batches = 6,500
Standard quantity of materials required in the process = 6,500 pounds
Cost of unit = $6
Total cost = $39,000
Selling price of regular Columbian coffee = $9 per pound
Revenue from regular Columbian coffee = $58,500
Selling price of Decaf Columbian coffee = $12 per pound
Additional processing costs = $10,230 per batch
Total cost after further processing = $49,230 ($39,000 + $10,230)
Loss during further processing = 5% of 6,500 = 325
Total quantity of Decaf Columbian coffee = 6,175
Total Sales revenue = $74,100 ($12 * 6,175)

Estimated revenue of the Decaf = $68,730 ($19,500 + $49,230)
Estimated selling price = $11.18 ($68,730/6,150)
A growing trend to "Buy American" may encourage law makers to increase political pressure for Washington to pass legislation for more restrictive quotas on Japanese car imports. In addition, a decline in the value of the US dollar would be instrumental in Toyota’s decision to build a manufacturing plant in the United States instead of continuing to export cars from Japan. If Toyota builds a plant, it’s decision would effect...
Answer: positive result from regulatory and economic environmental forces.
Explanation:
Based on the information given, if Toyota builds a plant, then the decision would reflect positive result from the regulatory and economic environmental forces.
The regulatory forces depend impact how an organization will operate. It is part of the external marketing environment of a company whereby the political efforts has an affect on a company's marketing effort.
In this case, since there is a growing trend to "Buy American", if Toyota builds a plant, rather than importing, it'll represent positive result from regulatory and economic environmental forces.

The law of one price states that: The cost of an individual good should be higher in countries with higher productivity In ideally efficient markets, the real purchasing power of a currency should be the same regardless of where it is spent The nominal exchange rates should always be the same as the real exchange rates, both in the short run and in the long run Which of the following scenarios illustrates why the law of one price may not hold?
a. The formation of the European Union creates a custom union among its member states, where internally traded goods are not subject to custom duties, tariffs, or import quotas.
b. Small electronic devices, such as computer chips, are relatively light and can be shipped in bulk.
c. Cement is very heavy, and the cost of shipping is measured by weight.
Answer: c. Cement is very heavy, and the cost of shipping is measured by weight
Explanation:
The Law of One price is that prices of a good should be the same regardless of where they are being sold in the world after accounting for currency rate conversion.
Cement might be tough to this.
Because of the high transportation cost, it would be difficult to charge the same price across nations because the of the high transport costs that needs to be employed need to be covered.

On January 8, 2012, Speedway Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $65,000. Before placing the truck in service, Speedway spent $4,000 painting it, $2,500 replacing tires, and $8,000 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $6,000. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 22,000 miles in each of the first four years and 12,000 miles in the fifth year—100,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, David Greer, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements
1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.
2. Speedway prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. For income tax purposes, the company uses the depreciation method that minimizes income taxes in the early years. Consider the first year that Speedway uses the truck. Identify the depreciation methods that meet the general manager’s objectives, assuming the income tax authorities permit the use of any of the methods.

2. The straight-line method reports the highest net income in the early years while the double-declining-balance method minimizes the income taxes in the early years.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 8, 2012:
Purchase of a delivery truck = $65,000
Cost of painting the truck = 4,000
Cost of replacing the tires = 2,500
Cost of overhauling the engine 8,000
Total costs = $79,500
Residual value = 6,000
Depreciable amount = $73,500
Estimated useful life = 5 years
Straight-line depreciation Method:
Annual depreciation expense = $14,700 ($73,500/5)
Units-of-production Method:
Depreciation rate per mile = $0.735 ($73,500/100,000)
For 22,000 miles, depreciation expense = $16,170 ($0.735 * 22,000)
For 12 ,000 miles, depreciation expense = $8,820 ($0.735 * 12,000)
Double-declining-balance method:
Depreciation rate = 100/5 * 2 = 40%
First year's depreciation expense = $31,800 ($79,500 * 40%)
Declined balance = $47,700 ($79,500 - $31,800)
Second year's depreciation expense = $19,080 ($47,700 * 40%)
Declined balance = $28,620 ($47,700 - $19,080)
Third year's depreciation expense = $11,448 ($28,620 * 40%)
Declined balance = $17,172 ($28,620 - $11,448)
Fourth year's depreciation expense = $6,869 ($17,172 * 40%)
Declined balance = $10,303 ($17,172 - $6,869)
Fifth year's depreciation expense = $4,303 ($10,303 - $6,000)
You have $12,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 14 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 10 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.30 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)You have $12,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 14 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 10 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.30 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Investment in Stock X will be = $6900
Investment in Stock Y will be = $5100
Explanation:
The expected return of a portfolio is the function of the weighted average of the individual stocks' returns that form up the portfolio. The expected return of portfolio can be calculated as follows,
Portfolio Expected Return = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolior represents the return of each stock in the portfolioWe know the target return for our portfolio and the individual stock's returns. To calculate the investment in each stock, we need to calculate the weightage.
Let x be the weightage of investment in Stock X and (1 - x) be the weightage of investment in Stock Y.
0.1230 = x * 0.14 + (1 - x) * 0.1
0.1230 = 0.14x + 0.1 - 0.1x
0.1230 - 0.1 = 0.04x
0.023 / 0.04 = x
x = 0.575 or 57.5%
So, investment in Stock X will be = 0.575 * 12000 = $6900
Investment in Stock Y will be = 12000 - 6900 = $5100
A continuous (rolling) budget A. presents the plan for a range of activity so that the plan can be adjusted for changes in activity levels. B. presents a statement of expectations for a period of time but does not present a firm commitment. C. presents the plan for only one level of activity and does not adjust to changes in the level of activity. D.drops the current month or quarter and adds a future month or quarter as the current month or quarter is completed. E. classifies budget requests by activity and estimates the benefits arising from each activity. A continuous budget has a constant time horizon and always looks ahead the same number of periods.
Answer:
D.drops the current month or quarter and adds a future month or quarter as the current month or quarter is completed.
Explanation:
A continuous (rolling) budget is one that varies over time. It attach another month to the end of the budget as one month expires. for example, If initial budget covers the months of January to December 2018, then you may add January 2019 after January 2018 has ended.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
Machinery purchased for $150,000 by Tom Brady Co. in 2010 was originally estimated to have a life of 12 years with a salvage value of $24,000 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been recorded for 7 years on this basis. In 2017, it is determined that the total estimated life should be 15 years with a salvage value of $18,000 at the end of that time. Assume straight-line depreciation.
Instructions:
Determine the depreciation expense for 2017.
Answer:
$7,312.50
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for 2017 is shown below:
Book Value is
= Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
= $150,000 - {[($150,000 - $24,000) ÷ 12 ] × 7y}
= $150,000 - [($126,000 ÷ 12 ) × 7]
= $150,000 - ($10,500 × 7)
= $150,000 - $73,500
= $76,500
Now the depreciation expense for 2017 :
= ($76,500 - $18,000) ÷ (15 - 7) years
= $58,500 ÷ 8 years
= $7,312.50
Recently, some college alumni started a moving service for students living on campus. They have 3 employees and are debating hiring one more. The hourly wage for an employee is $30 per hour. An average moving job takes 4 hours. The company currently does 3 moving jobs per week, but with one more employee, the company could manage 5 jobs per week. The company charges $100 for a moving job.
Instructions:
Round your answers to the nearest whole number.
a. The new employee's marginal product of labor is ______.
b. The value of that merginal product is ______.
c. The moving service should moving jobs ______- hire another worker.
Answer: a. 2
b. $200
c. Should not
Explanation:
a. The new employee's marginal product of labor is ______.
This will be:
= 5 - 3
= 2 moving jobs
b. The value of that marginal product is ______..
Since the company charges $100 for a moving job, the value of the marginal product will be:
= 2 × $100
= $200
c. The moving service should moving jobs ______- hire another worker
Marginal cost of moving 2 jobs will be:
= $30 × 4 × 2
= $240
Since the marginal cost is more than the marginal product, the company should not hire another worker.

On May 3, 2020, Sweet Company consigned 70 freezers, costing $450 each, to Remmers Company. The cost of shipping the freezers amounted to $890 and was paid by Sweet Company. On December 30, 2020, a report was received from the consignee, indicating that 35 freezers had been sold for $740 each. Remittance was made by the consignee for the amount due after deducting a commission of 6%, advertising of $200, and total installation costs of $330 on the freezers sold.
Required:
a. Compute the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee.
b. Compute the profit for the consignor for the units sold.
c. Compute the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee.
Answer:
A. $16,195
B. $7,621
C. $23,816
Explanation:
a. Computation for the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee.
Inventory value of the units unsold
First step is to calculate the Total inventory value
Inventory cost $31,500
(70 * $450)
Add Freight $890
Total inventory value $32,390
($31,500+$890)
Now let calculate the Inventory value of the units unsold
Inventory value of units unsold =($32,390 / 2)
Inventory value of units unsold =$16,195
Therefore the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee is $16,195
b. Computation for the profit for the consignor for the units sold
Sales $25,900
(35 * $740)
Less Cost of unit sold ($16,195)
($32,390 / 2)
Less Commission ($1,554)
($25,900 * 6%)
Less Advertising ($200)
Less Installation cost ($330)
Profit for the consignor $7,621
Therefore the profit for the consignor for the units sold will be $7,621
c. Computation for the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee.
Sales $25,900
Less Commission ($1,554)
($25,900 * 6%)
Less Advertising ($200)
Less Installation cost ($330)
Cash remitted $23,816
Therefore the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee is $23,816
A male worker meets and regularly exceeds the work standards in the coding unit while the female workers in the unit usually, but not always, meet basic work standards. Based upon this information, the supervisor did not recommend a merit increase for the male worker since this increase would result in him receiving a higher wage than the female workers in the same unit. Given the scenario, determine which (if any) federal regulatory requirement has been violated
Answer:
The Federal regulatory requirement here which has been breached is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Explanation:
Acording to SEC. 2000e-2. [Section 703]
"(a) Employer practices
It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer -
(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; or
(2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."
The supervisor might have been attempting to create equality. However, the results of the work stand out. By refusing to reward the male worker, the supervisor has discriminated against him on the basis of his gender. His work deserves merit. The work of the female worker does not.
Hence the supervisor is in violation of the statue refered above.

Howard's Supply Co. suffered a fire loss on April 20, 2021. The company's last physical inventory was taken January 30, 2021, at which time the inventory totaled $226,000. Sales from January 30 to April 20 were $606,000 and purchases during that time were $456,000. Howard's consistently reports a 30% gross profit. The estimated inventory loss is: Multiple Choice
Answer:
$257,800
Explanation:
According to the scenario, calculation of the given data are as follows,
Inventory on Jan. 30,2021 = $226,000
Sales = $606,000
Purchase = $456,000
Gross profit = 30% × $606,000 = $181,800
So, we can calculate the inventory loss by using following formula,
Inventory loss = COG for sale - COG sold
= ($226,000 + $456,000) - ($606,000 - $181,800)
= $682,000 - $424,200
= $257,800

Yard Tools manufactures lawnmowers, weed-trimmers, and chainsaws. Its sales mix and unit contribution margin are as follows. Sales Mix Unit Contribution Margin Lawnmowers 20 % $33 Weed-trimmers 50 % $22 Chainsaws 30 % $41 Yard Tools has fixed costs of $4,544,800. Compute the number of units of each product that Yard Tools must sell in order to break even under this product mix. Lawnmowers units Weed-trimmers units Chainsaws units
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Weighted average contribution margin= 0.2*33 + 0.5*22 + 0.3*41
Weighted average contribution margin= $29.9
Break-even point (units)= 4,544,800 / 29.9
Break-even point (units)= 152,000 units
Now, for each product:
Lawnmowers= 0.2*152,000=30,400
Weed-trimmers= 0.5*152,000= 76,000
Chainsaws= 0.3*152,000= 45,600

Ringmeup Inc had net income of $126,300 for the year ended December 31, 2013. At the beginning of the year, 44,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. On May 1, an additional 13,000 shares were issued. On December 1, the company purchased 4,500 shares of its own common stock and held them as treasury stock until the end of the year. No other changes in common shares outstanding occurred during the year. During the year, Ringmeup, Inc., paid the annual dividend on the 7,000 shares of 4.75%, $100 par value preferred stock that were outstanding the entire year. Calculate basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2013
Answer:
$1.78
Explanation:
Basic Earnings Per Share = Earnings attributable to Common Stock Holders / Weighted Average number of shares outstanding at the end of year
Earnings attributable to common stockholders = Net Income - Preferred Stock Dividend paid in the year
Earnings attributable to common stockholders = $126,300 - ($100*4.75%*7,000 Shares)
Earnings attributable to common stockholders = $126,300 - $33,250
Earnings attributable to common stock holders = $93,050
Weighted Average number of shares outstanding at the end of year = (44,000 * 11/12) + [(44,000 - 4,500) * 1/12] + (13,000 * 8/12)
= 40,333.33 + 3,291.67 + 8,666.67
= 52,291.67
Basic Earnings Per Share = $93,050 / 52,291.67 shares
Basic Earnings Per Share = $1.78
