Answer:
Cutting = $62,020
Pruning = $16,280
Explanation:
The direct method does not consider the impact of reciprocal servicing arrangement when allocating the overhead of service centers and only allocates overhead to the production cost centers only.
Allocation of Overhead
Janitorial overhead
Cutting = 6/(6+54)× $5,000 = $500
Pruning =54/(6+54) × $5,000= $4,500
Maintenance overhead
Cutting = 9/(9+1)× $7,800 = $7020
Pruning =1/(9+1) × $7,800= $780
Total cost of production department
Cutting = 54,500 + 500 + 7020= 62,020
Pruning department = 11,000 + 4,500 + 780 = 16,280
Cutting = $62,020
Pruning = $16,280
1. Which of the following is an example of the resource-based view of the firm? a. Philip Morris diversified by purchasing Kraft foods, because they did not want to put money back in the high-risk cigarette business. b. Google hires employees by asking them to fill out a 200-item questionnaire; many of the questions have nothing to do with computers. c. Halliburton takes advantage of the US war budget to bill the government at over $5 per gallon of gasoline. d. Canon manufactures scanners, printers, copiers and cameras, all using its capability in imaging.
Answer:
An example of the resource-based view of the firm is:
d. Canon manufactures scanners, printers, copiers and cameras, all using its capability in imaging.
Explanation:
The resource-based view is a model or framework for examining the potentials an organization possesses to develop a competitive advantage over other competitors. By applying this model, management sees resources as key to superior firm performance. It therefore focuses its attention on internal resources in an effort to identify those assets, capabilities, and competencies with the potential to deliver superior competitive advantages.
The other approaches mentioned do not consider the firm's internal capabilities as a means of competitive advantage.
The following equity investment transactions were completed by Romero Company during a recent year:
Apr. 10 Purchased 3,600 shares of Dixon Company for a price of $51 per share plus a brokerage commission of $95.
July 8 Received a quarterly dividend of $0.95 per share on the Dixon Company investment.
Sept. 10 Sold 2,000 shares for a price of $41 per share less a brokerage commission of $75.
Journalize the entries for these transactions.
Answer:
The journal entries will look as follows:
Explanation:
Date Particulars Dr ($) Cr ($)
Apr 10 Investments - Dixon (w.1.) 183,695
Cash (w.1.) 183.695
(To record total value of investment in Dixon Company.)
July 8 Cash 3,420
Dividend revenue (w.2.) 3,420
(To record dividend revenue from Dixon Company shares.)
Sept. 10 Cash (w.3.) 81,925
Loss on investment sold (w.5.) 20,128
Investments - Dixon (w.4.) 102,053
(To record sales of investment in Dixon Company.)
Workings:
w.1. Total value of investment in Dixon Company = (3,600 * $51) + $95 = $183,695
w.2. Dividend revenue = 3,600 * $0.95 = $3,420
w.3. = Cash = (2,000 * 41) - $75 = $81,925
w.4. Value of investment in Dixon = ($183,695 / $3,600) * 2,000 = $102,053
w.5. Loss on sale of investment = w.3. - w.4. = $102,053 - $81,925 = $20,128
Billy owns one share of Disney stock. He purchased the share 3 years ago for $15. Disney stock is currently trading for $30 per share. The stock has paid the following dividends over the past three years: year 1, $1.00; year 2, $2.00; year 3, $3.00. What is the compounded rate of return (IRR) that Billy has earned on his investment
Answer:
35.8%
Explanation:
purchase price 3 years ago $15, so CF₀ = -15
CF₁ = $1
CF₂ = $2
CF₃ = $3 + $30 = $33
using an excel spreadsheet (or you can also a financial calculator), you must determine the internal rate of return (IRR) = 35.8%
the IRR is the interest rate where NPV = 0, or the future cash flows equal the investment amount

Cash dividend payments were $25,000. Long-term investments were sold for $79,000 cash. A building costing $198,000 was purchased using $19,800 cash, and the balance was financed with a mortgage note payable. Stock was issued to stockholders in exchange for $110,000 cash. A $44,000 loan was made to a local inventory supplier; the loan will be repaid in twelve months. Equipment used in operations was sold for $37,000. Repaid a long-term note payable for $92,000 cash. Cash received from short-term bank loans totaled $71,000. Determine Smith’s cash flows from investing activities.
Answer:
$4,200
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Cash dividend payments = $25,000.
Cash from selling of Long-term investments = $79,000.
Cash used for purchasing a building costing $198,000 = $19,800
Sale of equipment = $37,000
Long term note payable = $92,000 cash
Now,
The net cash from investing activities will be
= sale of long term investments - purchase of building + sale of equipment - purchase of investments
= $79,000 - $19,800 + $37,000 - $92000
= $4,200.

You own a portfolio that has a total value of $210,000 and it is invested in Stock D with a beta of .87 and Stock E with a beta of 1.38. The beta of your portfolio is equal to the market beta. What is the dollar amount of your investment in Stock D
Answer:
The dollar amount of the investment in Stock D is (x=$156470.59)
Explanation:
Let assume investment in Stock D = $x
Hence investment in Stock E = (210,000-x)
Portfolio beta=Respective betas * Respective investment weights
1= (x/210,000*0.87) + (210,000-x) /210,000*1.38[Beta of market=1]
(1*210,000) = 0.87x + 289800 -1.38x
290,000=0.87x+289800-1.38x
Hence x=(289800-210,000)/(1.38-0.87)
x= 79,800 / 0.51
x=156470.5882
x=$156470.59
13) Baxter & Baxter has total assets of $710,000. There are 45,000 shares of stock outstanding with a market value of $28 a share. The firm has a net profit margin of 7.1 percent and a total asset turnover of 1.29. What is the price-earnings ratio?
Answer:
19.38
Explanation:
Baxter & Baxter
Market value share/ Percentage of profit margin ×(Total assets ×Total asset turnover)/Outstanding shares
Where:
Market value shares=28
Percentage of profit margin =71%
Total assets =710,000
Total asset turnover=1.29
Outstanding shares =45,000
Hence:
Price-earnings ratio =
$28/[0.071 ×($710,000 ×1.29)]/45,000
=19.38

Answer the question based on the accompanying list of items related to aggregate demand or aggregate supply. A change in which factor is most likely to change both aggregate demand and aggregate supply?
Answer:
Business Taxes.
Explanation:
A change in business taxes is most likely to change both aggregate demand and aggregate supply.
Aggregate demand can be defined as the total amount of goods and services by consumers at a specific period of time and price level in an economy.
Aggregate supply can be defined as the total amount of goods and services an organization is willing to sell or provide to it's consumers at a specific price level.
When business taxes are imposed on businesses, such as manufacturing companies, these in turn affect the demand and supply framework (final goods and services).
Basically, business taxes causes shifts in demand and supply, which in turn affect the price and quantity of goods and services in an economy.
Hence, companies would either be forced to cut-down on the amount of goods and services provided, result to borrowing or downsizing their manpower. As a result of this, they won't be able to meet the demands of their consumers.
Freya Co. has two patents that have allegedly been infringed by competitors. After investigation, legal counsel informed Freya that it had a weak case for Patent A34 and a strong case in regard to Patent B19. Freya incurred additional legal fees to stop infringement on Patent B19. Both patents have a remaining legal life of 8 years. How should Freya account for these legal costs incurred relating to the two patents?
Answer:
Freya needs to expense costs for Patent A34 and capitalize costs for Patent B19.
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described it can be said that Freya needs to expense costs for Patent A34 and capitalize costs for Patent B19. That is because a successful defense of a patent needs to be capitalized and amortized since you can now monetize and recover the costs incurred as well as make a profit off of the patent. On the other hand, unsuccessful defense of a patent needs to be expensed as incurred since that patent cannot be used to make money and recover costs.

In this case, Save-the-Earth Co derived its profit only from Primary Activities.
Suppose Sharon earns $575 per week working as a programmer for PC Pros. She uses $9 to get her car washed at Spotless Car Wash. Spotless Car Wash pays Paolo $300 per week to wash cars. Paolo uses $200 to purchase software from PC Pros.
and
1. Paolo spends $200 to purchase software from PC Pros.
- A. Resource Market? B. Product Market market?
2. Paolo earns $300 per week working for Spotless Car Wash
- A. Resource Market? B. Product Market market?
3. Sharon spends $9 to get her car washed.
- A. Resource Market? B. Product Market market?
Which of the elements of this scenario represent a flow from a household to a firm? This could be a flow of dollars, inputs, or outputs.
1. The $300 per week Paolo earns working for Spotless Car Wash
2. The $200 Paolo spends to purchase software from PC Pros
3. Sharon's labor
Answer:
First Question
1. B
2. A
3. B
Second Question
The $200 Paolo spends to purchase software from PC Pros.
Explanation:
1. Paolo's transaction falls under the product market cash flow because he wittingly spends on a product–the software.
2. Paolo's earnings comes to the resource market, since he is been paid for his human resourcefulness in the organization.
3. Sharon's payment for washing her car is best placed on the Product market flow since she is spending on a personal product–the car.
The $200 Paolo spends to purchase software from PC Pros in this scenario represent a flow from a household to a firm because he (an individual belonging to a household) transfers his money to the firm.
According to Keynesian business cycle theory, A. inflation is procyclical and leading. B. the procyclical movement of investment is well explained when shocks to durable goods are themselves a main source of the cycle (so-called "animal spirits"), but not when cycles are caused by fluctuations in the LM curve. C. beneficial aggregate demand shocks, regardless of whether they shift the IS curve or the LM curve, will increase both output and the real interest rate. D. the procyclical behavior of labor productivity occurs due to firms' labor hoarding practices.
Answer: D. the procyclical behavior of labor productivity occurs due to firms' labor hoarding practices.
Explanation:
Keynesian Economists argue that firms practice labor hoarding which is the practice of keeping workers when they should not such as when there is a Recession. They should not keep these workers because demand has slowed so keeping them means that they will not be producing to meet the demand.
The procyclical behavior of labor productivity means that labor productivity goes by the Business Cycle in that it is high when the Economy is booming and low when it is in a Recession.
Productivity is calculated by dividing goods produced by the number of labor producing them.
By refusing to fire workers during a Recession, there will be too many workers producing too few goods which will decrease labor productivity which is why according to Keynesian Economists, the productivity is low in Recessions.
The Nelson Company has $1,750,000 in current assets and $700,000 in current liabilities. Its initial inventory level is $490,000, and it will raise funds as additional notes payable and use them to increase inventory. How much can Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) increase without pushing its current ratio below 1.9? Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ What will be the firm's quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
(a) Short-term debt can increase by a maximum of $466,666.67 without pushing its current ratio below 1.9
(b) The firm's quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds is 1.34
Explanation:
Current assets = $1,750,000
Current liabilities = $700,000
Initial inventory level = $490,000
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
= $1,750,000 ÷ $700,000 = 2.5
1.9 = (Current assets + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]) ÷ (Current liabilities + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex])
1.9 = ($1,750,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]) ÷ ($700,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex])
1.9 × ($700,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]) = ($1,750,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex])
$1,330,000 + [tex]1.9\Delta{NP[/tex] = $1,750,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]
[tex]0.9\Delta{NP[/tex] = $1,750,000 - $1,330,000
[tex]\Delta{NP[/tex] = $466,666.67
Short-term debt can increase by a maximum of $466,666.67 without pushing its current ratio below 1.9
Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventories) ÷ Current liabilities
= $937,500 ÷ $700,000
= 1.34

At March 31, Cummins Co. had an unadjusted balance in its cash account of $9,700. At the end of March, the company determined that it had outstanding checks of $950, deposits in transit of $620, a bank service charge of $25, and an NSF check from a customer for $210. What is the true cash balance at March 31
Answer:
$9,465
Explanation:
The computation of the true cash balance as on March 31 is shown below:
= Unadjusted cash balance as on March 31 - bank service charges - NSF check from a customer
= $9,700 - $25 - $210
= $9,465
These above two items are to be deducted
The other two items i.e outstanding checks and the deposit in transit are related to the bank balance and the same is not considered

An internal control system consists of the policies and procedures managers use to protect assets, ensure reliable accounting, promote efficient operations, and uphold company policies. It can prevent avoidable losses and help managers both plan operations and monitor company and human performance. Principles of good internal control include establishing responsibilities, maintaining adequate records, insuring assets and bonding employees, separating recordkeeping from custody of assets, dividing responsibilities for related transactions, applying technological controls, and performing regular independent reviews. Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires each of the following:
A. An effective internal control.
B. Light penalties for violators.
C. Auditors must evaluate internal controls.
D. Auditor's work overseen by Public Accounting Board.
Answer:
Options A and D.
Explanation:
Just like it is given in the question above, the concept of internal control system has to do with the regulations and policies that are being set by each companies/firms or agencies or bodies or business organization in order to increase their productivity and efficiency.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was enacted on the 30th day of the month of July in the year 2002 by the 107th United States of America congress and its main work or purpose is to make sure sure that there is reliability and transparency in financial and accounting institutions and also to protect investors.
When a breech is perceived, group of people will be appointed to conduct "An effective internal control" and also for the "Auditor's work overseen by Public Accounting Board."
Answer:
A. An effective internal control
C. Auditors must evaluate internal controls
Explanation:
SOX requires managers and auditors whose stock is publicly traded to have an effective internal control system, auditors must evaluate internal controls, violators may receive harsh penalties (not light penalties), and auditors’ work is overseen by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) (not by the Public Accounting Board).

Statement #1: Cold Goose’s pool of relatively liquid assets, which are available to support the company’s current and future sales, decreased from Year 1 to Year 2.
This statement is FALSE, because: Cold Goose’s total current asset balance increased from $11,250 million to $14,062 million between Year 1 and Year 2
Statement #2: Over the past two years, Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. has relied more on the use of short-term debt than on long-term debt financing.
This statement is FALSE, because: Cold Goose’s total current liabilities increased by $391 million, while its use of long-term debt increased by $1,171 million
Statement #3: One way to interpret the change in Cold Goose’s accounts receivable balance from Year 1 to Year 2 is that more customers purchased new items on credit rather than paying off existing credit accounts.
This statement is TRUE, because:The $421 increase in accounts receivable means either that Year 1’s existing credit customers are not paying off their owed balances and new or existing customers are making additional purchases on credit, or that Year 1’s credit customers have repaid their owed balances and Year 2 credit sales have exceeded Year 1’s credit sales

g "At the start of the current year, Minuteman Corporation had a credit balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $3,500. During the year a monthly provision of 3% of sales was made for uncollectible accounts. Sales for the year were $1,110,000, and $7,200 of accounts receivable were written off as worthless. No recoveries of accounts previously written off were made during the year. The year-end financial statements should show:"
Answer: Allowance for the doubtful accounts with a credit balance of $29,600
Explanation:
From the information that is provided in the question, the following can be deduced and the year-end financial statements should show:
Allowance for the doubtful accounts with a credit balance will be calculated as: the beginning allowance for the doubtful accounts + (the sales × Provision % ) - accounts receivable that were written off.
= $3,500 + ($1,110,000 × 3%) - $7,200
= $3500 + $33300 - $7200
= $36800 - $7200
= $29,600

A young couple is planning for the education of their two children. They plan to invest the same amount of money at the end of each of the next 16 years. The first contribution will be made at the end of the year and the final contribution will be made at the end of the year the older child enters college. The money will be invested in securities that are certain to earn a return of 8% each year. The older child will begin college in 16 years and the second child will begin college in 18 years. The parents anticipate college costs of $25,000 a year (per child). These costs must be paid at the end of each year. If each child takes four years to complete their college degrees, then how much money must the couple save each year
Answer:
The couple must save $ 6,598 each year
Explanation:
Calculating the payment amount:
Cost per year = $25,000 per each child
Cost for 4 years = $25,000 × 4 = $100,000
For the oldest child, the college will begin in 16 years and the second child the college will begin in 18 years.
Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the oldest child.
Using Microsoft Excel PMT function
Rate = 8%
N = 16
PV = 0
FV = -100000
= $3,298
Therefore, they must deposit $3,298 each year for their oldest child.
Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the second child:
Using Microsoft Excel PMT function
Rate = 8%
N = 18
PV = 0
FV = -100000
= $2,670
Therefore, they must deposit $2,670 each year for their second child.
Total sum to be saved per year = $3,298 + $2,670 = $6,598
Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $185 and $120, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $5 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 112,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below:
Alpha Beta
Direct materials $ 30 $ 10
Direct labor 22 29
Variable manufacturing overhead 20 13
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead 24 26
Variable selling expenses 20 16
Common fixed expenses 23 18
Total cost per unit $ 139 $ 112
The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.
Required:
7.
Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 48,000 Betas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much will profits increase or decrease?
8.
Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 68,000 Betas and 88,000 Alphas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, its sales representatives could increase sales of Alpha by 12,000 units. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much would profits increase or decrease?
9.
Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 88,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 88,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $112 per unit. If Cane buys 88,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, how much will profits increase or decrease?

13.
Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 88,000 units of Alpha and 68,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the company’s raw material available for production is limited to 172,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?
14.
Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 88,000 units of Alpha and 68,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the company’s raw material available for production is limited to 172,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials?
15.
Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 88,000 units of Alpha and 68,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the company’s raw material available for production is limited to 172,000 pounds. Up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
7. profits will decrease by:
lost profits = total revenue - total costs = $5,760,000 - $5,376,000 = $384,000unavoidable fixed costs = $18 x 48,000 units = $864,000total decrease in profits ($1,248,000)8. profits will decrease by:
lost profits from Beta product line = $8,160,000 - $7,616,000 = ($544,000)increased profits from Alpha sales = $2,220,000 - $1,668,000 = $552,000unavoidable fixed costs = (68,000 x $18) - (12,000 x $23) = (948,000)total decrease in profits ($940,000)9. profits will increase by:
avoidable costs of producing 88,000 Alphas = 88,000 x $116 = $10,208,000cost of purchasing 88,000 x $112 = ($9,856,000)total increase in profits = $10,208,000 - $9,856,000 = $352,00010. profits will increase by:
avoidable costs of producing 58,000 Alphas = 58,000 x $116 = $6,728,000cost of purchasing 58,000 x $112 = ($6,496,000)total increase in profits = $6,728,000 - $6,496,000 = $232,00013. Since the profit margin per pound of direct materials used for Alphas = $7.67 and Betas = $4, the company should produce Alphas. It should produce 28,666 Alphas and 2 Betas. Total profits = $1,318,636 + $16 = $1,318,652
14. Maximum contribution margin:
Contribution margin Alphas = 28,666 units x $92 = $2,637,272Contribution margin Betas = 2 units x $52 = $104total contribution margin = $2,637,37615. Since the profit margin per pound of materials used Betas is only $4, there is not much room for increasing the materials costs. If you want to produce Betas, you would be willing to pay less than $9 per pound of direct materials.
But since the profit margin per pound of direct materials used on Alphas is much higher ($7.67), as long as you pay less than $12.97 per pound of direct materials you can still make a profit producing Alphas. So you could pay a much higher price if you wanted to produce Alphas and still make a profit.
Explanation:
Alpha Beta
Sales price $185 $120
Direct materials ($5 per pound) $30 $10
pounds of materials used 6 2
profit margin per pound $7.67 $4
Direct labor $22 $29
Variable manufacturing overhead $20 $13
Traceable fixed man. overhead $24 $26
Variable selling expenses $20 $16
Common fixed expenses (unavoidable) $23 $18
Total cost per unit $139 $112
total production capacity 112,000 units per year
contribution margin = sales revenue - variable costs:
contribution margin Alpha = $185 - $93 = $92
contribution margin Beta = $120 - $68 = $52

Explanation:
Billy-Bob owns a condo in Seattle, and a farm in Yakima. His older brother, Bobby-Lee, has some severe health problems and is unable to work anymore, and just has Social Security Disability income of about $800/month. Billy-Bob records a deed giving a "life estate" to Bobby-Lee as long as he lives, with the "remainder" to go to Billy-Bob’s sister, Judy. A. Bobby-Lee now owns the "fee simple" title to the property, as long as he lives. B. Once Bobby-Lee dies, Judy will own the "fee simple" title to the property. C. No one will own the "fee simple" title to the property.
Answer: B. Once Bobby-Lee dies, Judy will own the "fee simple" title to the property.
Explanation:
In the Life Estate arrangement, a person is granted use and ownership of a property for as long as they are alive. When they die however, if a Remainder also known as Remainder- man is named, then the property rights transfer to the Remainder- man.
The Remainder-man then gets access to the property and owns in to the highest extent of the law which in common law countries such as the United States, is the Fee Simple title ownership. This gives them the right to basically do what they want with the property.
Bobby-Lee therefore gets the rights to the property but once he dies, his sister Judy will own a fee simple title to the property.
The inventory data for an item for November are: Nov. 01 Inventory 16 units at $22 04 Sale 9 units 10 Purchase 29 units at $23 17 Sale 17 units 30 Purchase 24 units at $24 Using a perpetual system, what is the cost of merchandise sold for November if the company uses LIFO? a.$1,013 b.$743 c.$589 d.$582
Answer:
Cost of goods sold $ 589
Explanation:
Under the LIFO inventory system units of inventory are priced using the price of the most recent batch purchased and this continues in turn.
The total value of purchases = (16 × $22) + ( 29 × $2) + (24 × $24)= $1,595
The cost of goods sold can worked out as follows:
Nov 4th - 9 × $22 = 198
Nov 17th - 17× $23 = 391
Cost of goods sold = (198+ 391 )=$ 589
Cost of goods sold $ 589
One reason the federal government might "bail out" farmers in flood prone areas of the country? A. Such flooding is diversifiable, but the market for such insurance policies cannot clear without the assistance of the International Community. B. Such flooding is diversifiable, but insurance company CEOs are more concerned with their stockminusholder wealth than the wellminusbeing of farmers. C. Such flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only nonminusprofit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks. D. Such flooding is known to happen on a regular basis and therefore there is no "risk" to be insured against.
Answer: Such flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only non-profit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks
Explanation:
One reason that can make the federal ggovernment to bail out farmers in the flood prone areas of the country will be in a situation whereby the flooding is not flooding is not diversifiable and therefore only non-profit entities, such as the federal government, can cover the risks.
In this situation since the risk associated with the flooding can't be diversified, this can lead to profit making entities to run from bailing out the farmers because they'll believe there's nothing to gain for them so it might be left for the government to take charge and help out.
