Answer and Explanation:
1. The gross pay is
Straight time pay
= 40 hours × $30 per hour
= $1,200
overtime pay
= 40 hours × $30 per hour × 1.5
= $1,800
So, the total gross pay is
= $1,200 + $1,800
= $3,000
2. Now the net take home pay is
Gross pay $3,000
Less: deductions
Income tax withholding (20%) -$600
Employee OASDI tax (6.2%) -$186
Employee medicare tax (1.45%) -$43.50
Net take home pay $2,170.50
3. Now the journal entries are
Wages expense $3,000
To Income tax payable $600
To Employee OASDI tax payable $186
To Employee medicare tax payable $43.50
To wages payable $2,170.50
(Being the wages expense is recorded)
We debited the expenses as it increased the expenses and credited all liabilities it increased the liabilities
Wages payable Dr $2,170.50
To cash $2,170.50
(being cash paid is recorded)
For recording this we debited the wages payable as it reduced the liabilities and credited the cash as it also reduced the current assets
Barton Chocolates used a promissory note to borrow $1,000,000 on July 1, 2018, at an annual interest rate of 6 percent. The note is to be repaid in yearly installments of $200,000, plus accrued interest, on June 30 of every year until the note is paid in full (on June 30, 2023). Show how the results of this transaction would be reported in a classified balance sheet prepared as of December 31, 2018. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Explanation:
Balance sheet for Barton Chocolates as at December 31,2018
Current liabilities 230,000
Non current liabilities 800,000
Workings.
Loan - $1,000,000
Loan date = July 1
Reporting date = December 31
Timeline = 6 months / 1/2 years
Yearly installment = $200,000
Interest payable = 6/100*1000000*1/2 = 30,000
Current liabilities are liabilities that are due for settlement within a year
Therefore the current liability portion = $200000+30000= $230,000
The non current liability is the balance of the principal loan amount = 1000000=200000= 800000

The Holt fund has $500 million in assets, 80 million in debt and 15 million shares at the start of the year. At the end of the year, the fund has $600 million in assets, 40 million in debt and 16 million shares. During the year, investors received $0.80 in distributions per share. The total expense ratio is 0.4%, which is deducted at the end of the year. What is the rate of the return on the fund?
A. 38.54%
B. 27.32%
C. 35,14%
D. 25.81%
E. 34.79%
Answer:
B. 27.32%
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the Net asset value per share at the start and end of the year
NAV at the start of the year = ($500 million - $80 million) / 15 million shares = $28 per share
NAV at the end of the year = ($600 million - ( ($600 million x 0.004) + $40 million ) / 16 million shares = $34.85 per share
Return = (NAV at the end of the year - NAV at the start of the year + Distribution received) / NAV at the start of the year
Return = ( 34.85 - 28 + 0.8 ) / 28 = 0.2732 = 27.32%

Calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency.
Answer:
The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.219
Explanation:
In order to calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency we would have to calculate the following formula:
manufacturing cycle efficiency=value added time/throughput time
value added time= 40 min
throughput time=Process time+Inspection time+movie time+Queue time
throughput time=40+5+15+2+120
throughput time=182 min
Therefore, manufacturing cycle efficiency=40/182
manufacturing cycle efficiency=0.219
The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.219

Pelzer Printing Inc. has bonds outstanding with 10 years left to maturity. The bonds have a 9% annual coupon rate and were issued 1 year ago at their par value of $1,000. However, due to changes in interest rates, the bond's market price has fallen to $950.70. The capital gains yield last year was -4.93%. What is the yield to maturity
Answer:
The answer is 9.85%
Explanation:
The number of periods N = 9years(10 years minus 1 year ago)
Yield to Maturity (I/Y) = ?
Present value of the bond (PV) = $950.70
Future value of the bond(FV) = $1,000
Annual payment (PMT) = $90 (9% x $1,000)
Using a financial calculator to solve the problem ( BA II plus Texas instruments):
Yield to Maturity (I/Y) = 9.85%
Thomlin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $11,597,000 with 164,000 total machine hours. Year to date, the actual overhead is $7,833,000 and the actual machine hours are 83,000 hours. The predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours is Round the factory overhead rate to the nearest dollar before multiplying by the number of hours. a.$94 per machine hour b.$48 per machine hour c.$71 per machine hour d.$140 per machine hour
Answer: c.$71 per machine hour
Explanation:
The Pre-determined Overhead rate is the rate Thomlin Company forecasted that the company would incur total overhead for the current year.
They forecasted total overhead of $11,597,000 with 164,000 total machine hours.
Since the rate is based on Machine Hours the rate would be,
= Total Forecasted Overhead / Total Forecasted Machine Hours
= 11,597,000 / 164,000
= 70.71
= $71
Shawn and Harry signed a contract for Shawn to build a house for Harry according to the specifications provided by Harry. The contract stated that Shawn would be paid $125,000. Shawn unintentionally deviated from the specifications in several minor respects. The house was soundly constructed, and Shawn completed the work within the promised time. Harry refused to pay Shawn any of the $125,000, arguing that the house did not conform to the specifications. In this case,
A) Harry will get a decree of specific performance.
B) Shawn has no right to be paid for any of his work because he breached the contract.
C) if the court finds that Shawn has substantially performed, he will be able to recover the contract price less any damages caused by his failure to perform as promised.
D) if the court finds that Shawn has substantially performed, he will be able to recover the contract price less any damages caused to him because of the delay in payment.
Answer:
C) if the court finds that Shawn has substantially performed, he will be able to recover the contract price less any damages caused by his failure to perform as promised.
Explanation:
From the question Harry signed a contract with Shawn to build a house. Harry made some specification to build the house. But Shawn did not follow the specifications now Harry doesn't want to pay him the contract amount.
Under doctrine of specific performance, Harry can pay less money than the contract price. Because Shawn has performed substantially, he is not entitled to receive the contract price as agreed.
Joanna was laid off from her job 11 months ago. After searching for a job for months, Joanna finds a job but is only offered part-time work. Joanna would rather be working full-time. Economists would classify Joanna as
Answer:
Underemployed.
Explanation:
This is basically explained as not having enough payed job or working part time; it is also explained to not be usually able to maximize your skills or bring the best in you in the nearest future. In some cases it is a situation of insufficient employment pattern towards a skilled man or a worker in any field that is been presented as the case may be.
This can be seen in a part-time job despite having a burning passion for full time work, and also over-qualification.
Mary offered to sell Mike several pieces of rare Chinese art at a very good price because they were duplicates in her own collection. Mike could not accept the offer at that time, but he did give Mary $500 in return for her promise to keep her offer open for three (3) weeks. Mike returned with the agreed-upon balance two weeks later to find that Mary already had sold the pieces she had offered to sell to him. Mary explained that she had been able to get a better price from another buyer. She offered to return Mike's $500 and insisted that this was all she was obligated to do. Is Mary right?
Answer: She is not.
Explanation:
It would seem as though that Mary got into a type of contract known as an Option Contract or more precisely, a Call Option Contract simply called a Call.
In this type on contract, a seller gives a buyer the right to buy a good or service at a certain price within a set period.
Mary agreed to sell the rare Chinese Art for a certain amount which Mike could not pay but she promised to give him 3 weeks to take it within which he can pay and collect the item.
Mike returned in 2 weeks which was within the range of time allowed and so she should have kept the offer open for the time she said she would.
She is wrong to believe that all she owes him is his down payment. She broke a contract.
Carroll Corporation has two products, Q and P. During June, the company's net operating income was $24,000, and the common fixed expenses were $52,000. The contribution margin ratio for Product Q was 40%, its sales were $137,000, and its segment margin was $44,000. If the contribution margin for Product P was $42,000, the segment margin for Product P was:
Answer:
$32,000= Segment margin product P
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Company net operating income= $24,000
Common fixed costs= $52,000
Product Q:
Segment margin= $44,000
Contribution margin for Product P= $42,000
We need to calculate the segment margin for Product P.
Net income= Segment margin product P + Segment margin product Q - common fixed costs
24,000= Segment margin product P + 44,000 - 52,000
32,000= Segment margin product P
The concept of risk and return is subjective for different people, as well as for corporations.
Read and assess the following financial decisions. Keeping everything else constant, are the following actions good financial decisions? Base your decisions on the understanding of risk and return, solely from a theoretical finance perspective.
Joe is an average investor. His financial advisor gave him options of investing in stock A, with a σ of 12%, and stock B, with a σ of 9%. Both stocks have the same expected return of 16%. Joe can pick only one stock and decides to invest in stock B.
Good Financial Decision?
Yes
No

Erin wants to invest in a hedge fund that has had a very strong performance track record. The hedge fund has given its investors a return of over 60% for the past five years. Although Erin is tempted to put her money in the fund, she decides to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund’s assets, because she is aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Answer:
Risk and Return
1. Joe is an average investor. His financial advisor gave him options of investing in stock A, with a σ of 12%, and stock B, with a σ of 9%. Both stocks have the same expected return of 16%. Joe can pick only one stock and decides to invest in stock B.

3. rin wants to invest in a hedge fund that has had a very strong performance track record. The hedge fund has given its investors a return of over 60% for the past five years. Although Erin is tempted to put her money in the fund, she decides to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund’s assets, because she is aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Good Financial Decision?
Yes
No
Explanation:
1. Joe's decision to invest in stock B is a good financial decision. Since both investments have the same returns, the decision on which investment to take shifts to the standard deviation of the returns, which specifies the variability of the returns. Invariably, the investment with less standard deviation should win the vote. Therefore, Joe's decision is a good financial decision because investment in B has a standard deviation of 9% unlike A's 12%.
2. Putting all eggs in one market as Marcie had done by allocating all her investments in the ESOP is not a good financial decision, theoretically. It is always best to spread the risks, though higher-yielding investments (returns) bear higher risks.
3. The decision of Erin to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund's assets, despite its past performance is a good financial decision. Due diligence reveals some behind-the-scene information that are instrumental in making sound business decisions. Who are the present managers of the fund? What systems are in place in the entity to guarantee similar future performance, all things being equal? What market's sentiments and information are available for consideration? These questions, and many others can be answered through a due diligence. Surely, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."
The Atlanta Company has assembled the following data pertaining to certain costs that cannot be easily identified as either fixed or variable. Atlanta Company has heard about a method of measuring cost functions called the high-low method and has decided to use it in this situation. Cost Hours $24,000 5,000 $26,100 6,300 $34,700 7,900 $48,000 11,000 $38,300 9,250 What is the cost function
Answer:
Total cost= 4,000 + 4x
x= hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cost Hours
$24,000 5,000
$26,100 6,300
$34,700 7,900
$48,000 11,000
$38,300 9,250
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost and fixed cost. We will use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (48,000 - 24,000) / (11,000 - 5,000)
Variable cost per unit= $4 per unit
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 48,000 - (4*11,000)
Fixed costs= $4,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 24,000 - (4*5,000)
Fixed costs= $4,000
Now, we can express the cost formula:
Total cost= 4,000 + 4x
x= hours

Option A costs an initial $2 billion and will involve variable costs (labor and material) of $5 per bottle of spirits. Option B costs an initial $4 billion and will involve variable costs (labor and material) of $3 per bottle of spirits. Assuming an annual capital charge equal to 10 percent of the initial costs, what is the average fixed cost at production level of 20,000,000 bottles per year for the Option B facility
Answer: 20
Explanation:
Total cost of Option B = 4 billion
Total fixed cost = 10% of 4 billion
= 10/100 × 4,000,000,000
= 0.1 × 4,000,000,000
= 400,000,000
The average fixed cost is the total cost divided by the total number of output that is given. In this case, this can be calculated as:
= 400,000,000/20,000,000
= 20
The average fixed cost at production level of 20,000,000 bottles per year for the Option B facility will be 20.

(Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.) Overhead Rates Ordering and receiving Food processing Packaging 7.22 per order 7.79 per machine hour 3.26 per labor hour
What is the total overhead applied?
Total overhead applied $
Answer:
Total allocated overhead= $2,081,094
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
For 2017, the company had 11,300 orders and used 51,200 machine hours, and labor hours totaled 491,000
Overhead rates for each activity:
Ordering and receiving= $7.22 per order
Food processing= $7.79 per machine hour
Packaging= $3.26 per labor hour
To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Ordering and receiving= 7.22*11,300= $81,586
Food processing= 7.79*51,200= $398,848
Packaging= 3.26*491,000= $1,600,660
Total overhead= $2,081,094

Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
B. What are the company policies when it comes to handling bribery?
This is a good question to ask because it aims to find out how the company deals with a very important ethical issue which is that of bribery. Your supervisor needs to tell you how the company normally deals with bribery so that you can act appropriately and abide by the ethics of the company.
B. Inform the executive that this extra $10,000 wasn’t in the original contract. Avoid assuming unethical behavior until you clarify what he is asking for in relation to the agreed-upon contract.
You should tell the Executive that the sum of money he is requesting for was not in the original budget and inquire to know why he needs it so that you may know if it is something you can acquire. It is sometimes best to wait for an explanation first before rushing to conclusions and this is one of those times.
A. Find alternatives.
B. Don’t rationalize shady decisions.
D. Refuse business if it violates you basic values.
When dealing with other culture and you see that there are different values from the ones you are used to and therefore different ways of doing things, it is imperative that you find alternatives to your course if action that can still serve your purpose while not antagonizing the people.
Also very important to to avoid rationalizing shady deals because once you start you will find that UNETHICAL decisions are easy to engage in.
Also as much as you are in a different cultures, some behaviours will always be unethical, refusing business that violates your basic values shoeshowss Moral Initiative.
A. Team members with different backgrounds come up with more effective problem-solving techniques, providing your company with a competitive advantage over other companies.
As the saying goes, "two heads are better than one". This is very important in teams with diversity because different cultures and backgrounds have evolved differently and found out different ways to come up with solutions to problems with some being better than others. Having team members from various backgrounds brings that information together to chart a better path forward which can then give a Competitive Advantage.

You have $13,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 13 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 8 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 11.45 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y
Answer:
You should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.
Explanation:
These can be estimated as follows:
PER = (ERX * wX) + (ERY * wY) ....................... (1)
Where,
PER = Portfolio expected return = 11.45%, or 0.1145
ERX = Expected return of X = 13%, or 0.13
ERY = Expected retun of Y = 8%, or 0.08
wX = Weight of X = ?
wY = Weight of Y = 1 - wX = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
0.1145 = [0.13 * wX] + [0.08 * (1 - wX)]
0.1145 = 0.13wX + [0.08 - 0.08wX]
0.1145 = 0.13wX + 0.08 - 0.08wX
0.1145 - 0.08 = 0.13wX - 0.08wX
0.0345 = 0.05wX
wX = 0.0345 / 0.05
wX = 0.69
Since wY = 1 - wX
Therefore,
wY = 1 - 0.69
wY = 0.31
Total amount to invest = $13,000
Investment in stock X = Amount to invest * 0.69 = $13,000 * 0.69 = $8,970
Investment in stock Y = Amount to invest * 0.31 = $13,000 * 0.31 = $4.030
Therefore, you should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.
Executives at Barbco, a pharmaceutical manufacturer, are preparing to introduce Betatron, a new vitamin into the market. The following cost information pertains to new vitamin:Chemical compound $1.25/bottlePackaging/label $0.35/bottleDeveloper royalties $1.00 bottleAdvertising and promotion $675,000Barbco overhead $500,000Selling price per bottle to distributor $9.00Based on the above, answer the following three questions.Based on the information provided above:Dollar contribution per bottle?Based on the information provided above:Net profit if 1 million bottles are sold?Based on the information provided above:Necessary unit volume to achieve a $200,000 profit.
Answer:
$6.4
$ 5,225,000
214,844 units
Explanation:
Contribution per unit is the selling price per unit minus the variable cost
selling price per bottle is $9.00
variable cost=cost of chemical compound per bottle+ packaging/label+ cost of royalties
variable cost=$1.25+$0.35+$1.00=$2.6
Contribution per unit=$9.00-$2.60=$6.4
net profit of 1 million:
Sales ($9*1000,000) $9,000,000
variable cost($2.6*1,000,000) ($2,600,000)
contribution $6,400,000
Fixed costs($675,000+$500,000) ($1,175,000)
Net profit $ 5,225,000
Unit volume to achieve profit of $200,000=fixed cost+ target profit/contribution per unit=($1,175,000+$200,000)/6.4= 214,844
Cho's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Miami that sells gluten-free pizzas. Cho's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the three ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Cho signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the three ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Cho's kitchen cannot fit more than three ovens, Cho cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run. However, Cho's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Cho lets them know how many workers she needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are __________ inputs, and the ovens are __________ inputs.
Answer: Variable ... Fixed
Explanation:
In the short run, Variable Inputs or costs are known as those which can be changed and their quantities can be varied. In this scenario, the employees that Cho's uses can be varied and so are the Variable Inputs.
Similarly, those costs that cann ot be changed or varied in the short run are rightly known as Fixed Inputs. Cho's Kitchen cannot take more than 3 ovens and also she has already signed a lease for them. These costs cannot be changed and so make the oven a Fixed Input.
It is worthy of note that in the long term, all Costs are considered Variable.
Consider the following production and cost data for two products, L and C: Product L Product C Contribution margin per unit $24 $18 Machine-hours needed per unit 3 hours 2 hours The company can only perform 14,200 machine hours each period, due to limited skilled labor and there is unlimited demand for each product. What is the largest possible total contribution margin that can be realized each period?
Answer:
Largest possible total contribution margin = $127,800
Explanation:
Whenever a company is faced with a limiting factor i.e a resource in short supply, the company should allocate the resource to the product with he highest contribution per unit of the scare resource
The highest contribution from the 4,200 machine hours could be determined as follows:
Step 1 : Contribution per hour
Contribution per machine hour = contribution per unit/ machine hour
Product L Product C
$ $
Contribution 24 18
Machine hour 3 2
Contribution per hour 8/ hr 9/hr
Ranking 2nd 1st
Product C would be produced using the entire machine hours. Doing so would generate the highest contribution possible.
Contribution = contribution per hour × machine hours
= 9 × 14,200 = $127,800
Largest possible total contribution margin = $127,800
