A. Prepare a report that shows the effect on the company's total net operating income of buying part B76 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company.
Keep Buy Differential
producing from vendor amount
production cost $270,000 $0 $270,000
purchase cost $0 $328,800 ($328,800)
avoidable costs $0 ($6,000) $6,000
additional revenue $0 ($29,000) $29,000
total $270,000 $293,800 ($23,800)
B. Identify which alternative the company should choose and explain why.
The company should keep producing the part because production costs are lower than buying it from an outside vendor.
C. Determine what errors managers may make when considering make or buy decisions and basing the decision solely on the data?
If we had made this decision based on total production costs, then management would have erroneously chosen to purchase the part from an outside vendor. Total production costs are $28.30 per unit, but almost $5.80 per unit are not avoidable (mostly fixed and general overhead), so the company will incur them no matter what. You have to compare only relevant costs or revenues.

Explanation:
You put money into an account that earns a 5 percent nominal interest rate. The inflation rate is 2 percent, and your marginal tax rate is 40 percent. What is your after-tax real rate of interest
Answer: 1%
Explanation:
The Nominal interest rate has not been adjusted for inflationary effects yet and as such is considered overstated.
The Real Interest rate has been adjusted for inflation and is believed to show the actual return one receives.
Tax is calculated on the Nominal rate.
After tax Nominal Rate = 5% * ( 1 - 40%)
= 3%
Then adjust for inflation to find real rate,
= 3% - 2%
= 1%
The After-tax real rate is 1%.
Piper is a manager in a corporation that was organized in Canada by one of his former coworkers. The company provides consulting services and training for architects employed by construction companies. The company recently went public, with shares being sold to hundreds of investors. Piper’s company would be a __________ corporation.
Answer:
A Public company.
Explanation:
A public company can be described as a commercial organization that has its share capital formed by shares, that is, the company sells its shares to the public, who become partners in the company.
The shares of a public company are traded on the stock exchange freely, without the need for any type of public bookkeeping.
The company's shareholders can be composed of any type of person who is interested in buying shares in the company.
Private companies generally become public because of the possibility of obtaining capital, which generates greater revenue for the company and greater possibility for growth and investment in business.

For Charles, the opportunity cost is not mowing half a lawn.
A local theater company sells 1,500 season ticket packages at a price of $250 per package. The first show in the 10-show season starts this week. (a) The sale of the season tickets before the first show. (b) The revenue from fulfilling the performance obligation by putting on the first show.
Answer:
Dr cash $375,000
Cr unearned revenue $375,000
Dr unearned revenue $37,500
Cr revenue $37,500
Explanation:
The total amount realized from the sale of tickets is $375,000($250*1500)
However,the cash proceeds should be debited to cash while it is also credited to unearned revenue
The revenue from fulfilling the performance obligation=1/10*$375,000=$37,500
The $37,500 is debited to unearned revenue and credited to sales revenue as that amount has now been earned
a) The cash realized from the sale for all the season tickets is $375,000.
b) The revenue to be recognized after fulfilling the performance obligation of the first show is $37,500.
Data and Calculations:
Selling price per ticket package = $250
Number of ticket packages sold = 1,500
Number of show seasons = 10
On the average, each show season will take = 150 tickets (1,500/10)
Proceeds from sale of season tickets = $375,000 ($250 x 1,500)
Revenue from first show = $37,500 ($375,000/10) or (150 x $250)

Smiley Corporation wholesales repair products to equipment manufacturers. On April 1, Year 1, Smiley issued $1,400,000 of 5-year, 6% bonds at a market (effective) interest rate of 3%, receiving cash of $1,593,666. Interest is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1.
Required:
a. Journalize the entries to record the following.
1. Issuance of bonds on April 1, Year 1.
2. First interest payment on October 1, Year 1, and amortization of bond premium for six months, using the straight-line method. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
b. Explain why the company was able to issue the bonds for $22,282,220 rather than for the face amount of $21,300,000.
Answer:
a. Journalize the entries to record the following.
1. Issuance of bonds on April 1, Year 1.
Dr Cash 1,593,666
Cr Bonds payable 1,400,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 193,666
2. First interest payment on October 1, Year 1, and amortization of bond premium for six months, using the straight-line method. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
premium per coupon = $193,666 / 10 coupons = $19,366.60

Management of Carla Vista, Inc., is planning to raise $1,215,000 in new equity through a private placement. If the sale price is $20.25 per share, how many shares does the company have to issue
Answer:
Number of shares to be issued = 60,000 units
Explanation:
A private placement involves the issue of new shares to a few number of individual and institutional investors. Unlike initial public offering, here the shares are not offered to the general public.
The number of units to be issued is determined as follows
Units to be issued = Total capital to be raised / issue price per share
Number of units to be raised = $1215,000/$20.25 per share= 60,000 units
Number of shares to be issued = 60,000 units
Two mutually exclusive investment opportunities require an initial investment of $10 million. Investment A pays $1.5 million per year in perpetuity, while investment B pays $1.2 million in the first year, with cash flows increasing by 3% per year after that. At what cost of capital would an investor regard both opportunities as being equivalent?
Answer: 15%
Solving this would require finding the rate/cost of capital that gives both investments the same present value.
Investment 1
Investment 1 is a perpetuity which means that it's present value can be calculated as,
= Amount/rate
= 1,500,000/r
Investment 2
Investment 2 pays $1,200,000 in the first year and then grows at a rate of 3% every year afterwards.
The Present Value of such can be calculated with the following equation,
= Amount / ( rate/cost of capital - growth rate)
= 1,200,000 / ( r - 3%)
To find the Rate that gives both figures the same Present Value, simply equate them.
1,500,000/r = 1,200,000 / (r - 3%)
1,500,000(r - 3% ) = 1,200,000r
1,500,000r - 45,000 = 1,200,000r
300,000r = 45,000
r = 45,000/300,000
r= 0.15
r = 15%
At 15% an investor regard both opportunities as being equivalent.

Group of answer choices The monthly rent Dave must pay to use a building downtown The wages Dave pays to his workers who make the doughnuts The expenses that went into research and development of a new doughnut flavor The salary that Dave could be earning elsewhere if he didn’t own the business None of the above
Answer:
The expenses that went into research and development of a new doughnut flavor
Explanation:
A sunk cost is a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. It is money that has already been spent. Sunk costs are bygone and are not to be considered when deciding whether to continue an investment project.
The expenses that went into research and development of a new doughnut flavor is a sunk cost since the cost has been incurred already and cannot be recovered because it is not a relevant cost.

Blythe Company has provided the following information: Sales price per unit $40 Variable cost per unit 18 Fixed costs per month 12,800 What is the amount of sales in dollars required for Blythe to break even? (Round any percentages to two decimal places and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Break-even sales in dollars = $23,273
Explanation:
The break-even point is the selling price at which the selling price, equals the cost of production. no profit is made, but no loss is incurred too.
we will use the formula for calculating required selling price, to calculate the break-even price as follows:
Required selling price = (Fixed costs + Target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin ratio)
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ net sales revenue
Contribution margin = sales price - variable cost
contribution margin = 40 - 18 = $22
Net sales revenue = $40
∴ contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin ÷ net sales revenue) × 100
= 22 ÷ 40 = 55.00% = 0.55
∴ Required selling price = (Fixed costs + Target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin ratio)
Required selling price = (12,800 + 0) ÷ 55.00%
= 12,800 ÷ 0.55 = 23,272.7 = 23,273 (to the nearest dollars)
Break-even sales in dollars = $23,273
atton Company purchased $1,500,000 of 10% bonds of Scott Company on January 1, 2021, paying $1,410,375. The bonds mature January 1, 2031; interest is payable each July 1 and January 1. The discount of $89,625 provides an effective yield of 11%. Patton Company uses the effective-interest method and plans to hold these bonds to maturity. On July 1, 2021, Patton Company should debit its Debt Investments account for the Scott Company bonds by__________ and credit its Interest Revenue account by __________.
Answer:
Patton Company should debit its Debt Investments account for the Scott Company bonds by $2,571 and credit its Interest Revenue account by $155,283
Explanation:
On July 1 2021, Patton Company should increase its Debt Investments account for the Scott Company bonds by =
Amount of discount amortized = Interest revenue - Interest received
= ($1,410,375 × 11% × 6/12) - ($1,500,000 × 10% × 6/12)
= $77,571 - $75,000
= $2,571
Interest revenue on 31 December 2021 = ($1,410,375 + $2,571) × 11% × 6/12
= $77,712
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Patton Company should report interest revenue from the Scott Company bonds of = $77,571 + $77,712 = $155,283
A firm expects to have net income of $5,000,000 during the next year. The company’s target capital structure is 35% debt and 65% equity. The company's director of capital budgeting has determined that the optimal capital budget for the coming year is $6,000,000. If SL Computer follows a residual distribution policy (with all distributions in the form of dividends) to determine the coming year’s dividend, then what is the firm’s expected dividend payments?
Answer:
$1,100,000
Explanation:
The firm expected to have 5,000,000 as net Income
Capital Structure; Debt=35% , Equity= 65%
$6,000,000 is determined to be the Optimal capital budget for the coming year
The firm’s expected dividend payments following a residual distribution policy is = Net Income – [Total Capital Budget x Equity Ratio]
Where Net Income =5,000,000 Total capital budget =6,000,000 Equity Ratio= 65%
Hence Total Dividend Payment = $5,000,000 – [$6,000,000 x 65%]
= $5,000,000 - $3,900,000
= $1,100,000
The firm’s expected dividend payments is = $1,100,000,
Corn is an input in the production of tortillas. If you don't know anything about the demand curve, which of the following can you say for certain will happen in the market for tortillas if there is an increase in the price of corn ?
a. overall supply will decrease
b. overall supply will increase
c. quantity supplied will decrease
d. quantity supplied will increase
Answer:

Explanation:
In a situation of neither input nor output fixed, the proper economic criterion is to _________________. A. Maximize the output B. Minimize the inputs C. Minimize (inputs - outputs) D. Maximize (outputs - inputs)
Answer:
D. Maximize (outputs - inputs)
Explanation:
The input is the raw material, labor, the efforts that is used in making the product while the output is the product or the result arising from the input
The profit arises when output and the input varies from each other
i.e
Profit = Output - input
In the case where there is neither an input nor output fixed, so we have to maximize the profit i.e (output - input) but the condition is that they are different from each other
Hence, the correct option is D.
Betterton Corporation uses an activity based costing system to assign overhead costs to products. In the first stage, two overhead costs—equipment depreciation and supervisory expense-are allocated to three activity cost pools—Machining, Order Filling, and Other—based on resource consumption. Data to perform these allocations appear below:
Overhead costs:
Equipment depreciation $ 49,000
Supervisory expense $ 3,000
Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activity Cost Pools:
Activity Cost Pools
Machining Order Filling Other
Equipment depreciation 0.50 0.30 0.20
Supervisory expense 0.10 0.40 0.50
In the second stage, Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data for the company's two products follow:
Activity: Activity:
MHs (Machining) Orders (Order Filling)
Product A8 3,000 500
Product K2 17,000 1,500
Total 20,000 2,000
What is the overhead cost assigned to Product A8 under activity-based costing?
Answer:
$7,695
Explanation:
The computation of overhead cost assigned to Product A8 under activity-based costing is shown below:-
Overhead Amount Machining Amount Order Amount Other Amount
Filling
Equipment
Depreciation $49,000 0.5 $24,500 0.3 $14,700 0.2 $9,800
Supervisory
Expense $3,000 0.1 $300 0.4 $1,200 0.5 $1,500
Total $52,000 $24,800 $15,900 $11,300
Cost per Activity pool unit
Particulars Machining Order Filling Allocated Cost a $24,800 $15,900
Activity b 20,000 hours 2,000 order Fillings Cost per Activity pool unit 1.24 7.95
c = a ÷ b per machine Hour per order fillings
Here, in reference to Product A8
Machine Hours 3,000
Cost per Activity pool unit 1.24 per Machine Hour
Total Cost 3,720
To reach total cost we simply multiply the machine hours with cost per activity pool unit
Order Filling 500
Cost per Activity pool unit 7.95 per order fillings
Total Cost 3,975
To reach total cost we simply multiply the order filling with cost per activity pool unit
Total Overhead cost assigned to Product A8 = Total cost of machine hours + Total cost of order filling
= $3,720 + $3,975
= $7,695
A company reported the following information at December 31, Year 1: Accounts payable $ 4,690 Accounts receivable $ 9,540 Cash $ 25,390 Common Stock $ 91,900 Equipment $ 51,400 Inventory $ 33,100 Notes Payable due December 31, Year 3 $ 2,690 Retained Earnings, December 31, Year 1 $ 14,280 Wages payable $ 5,870 What is the amount of current liabilities on the classified balance sheet?
Answer:
$13,250
Explanation:
Current liabilities can be defined as the amount of money incurred by a company. This debt must be repaid back within a period of one year.
From the question above a company reported the following information on its classified balance sheet at December 31.
Account payable= $4,690
Account receivable= $9,540
Cash= $25,390
Common stock= $91,900
Equipment= $51,400
Inventory= $33,100
Notes payable= $2,690
Retained earnings= $14,280
Wages payable= $5,870
The amount of current liabilities can be calculated by adding up the different debts incurred by the company
Account payable+Notes payable+ wages payable
= $4,690+$2,690+$5,870
= $13,250
Hence the amount of current liabilities recorded on the classified balance sheet is $13,250
For the next 2 questions, use the financials of Acme Corporation. After adjusting revenue for accounts receivable and deferred revenue, how much cash did Acme generate from revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2017
Answer: B. $892.1 million
Explanation:
The Revenue was $939,393 million
When calculating how much cash was generated any increase to the Accounts Receivables is removed from the revenue because it signifies that more sales were made on credit and so have not given the business cash yet.
Any increase in Deferred Revenue must be added because this is Cash that has been given to the business but for accrual purposes cannot be recognized yet. Bottomline however, the Cash has been received.
Increase in Receivables = 309,196 - 221,504
= $87,692 million
Increase in Deferred Revenue= 374,730 - 334,358
= $40,372 million
The Cash generated is therefore;
= 939,393 - 87,692 + 40,372
= $892,073
= $892.1 million
I have attached the Financial Statements of Acme Corporation.

This year, Napa Corporation received the following dividends: KLP Inc (a taxable Delaware corporation in which Napa holds an 8% stock interest) - $55,000 Gamma Inc (a taxable Florida corporation in which Napa holds a 90% stock interest) - $120,000 Napa and Gamma do not file a consolidated tax return. Compute Napa's dividends-received deduction. Please show complete calculation.
Answer:
$147,500
Explanation:
Computation of Napa's dividends-received deduction
Napa is said to holds less than 20% stock interest in KLP Inc which means that the dividends received deduction in the case of dividends received from KLP would be 50%.

Hence:
Napa’s dividends-received deduction will be:
= ($55,000 x 50%) + $120,000
=$27,500 +$120,000
= $147,500
Therefore Napa's dividends-received deduction will be $147,500

It may be done horizontally and vertically.A clothing manufacturer produces clothing in five locations in the United States. In a move to vertical integration, the company is planning a new fabric production plant that will supply fabric to all five clothing plants. The clothing plants have been located on a coordinate system as follows: Location (X,Y) A 7,2 B 4,7 C 5,5 D 6,2 E 8,4 If the amount of fabric shipped to each plant are equal, what is the optimal location for the fabric plant?
Answer:
(6,4)
Explanation:
The computation of optimal location for the fabric plant is shown below:-
X Y
A 7 2
B 4 7
C 5 5
D 6 2
E 8 4
Total 30 20
[tex]\bar X = \frac{Total\ of\ X}{Total\ number\ of\ locations}[/tex]
[tex]\bar X = \frac{30}{5}[/tex]
= 6
[tex]\bar Y = \frac{Total\ of\ Y}{Total\ number\ of\ locations}[/tex]
[tex]\bar Y = \frac{20}{5}[/tex]
= 4
So, the optimal location for the fabric plant is (6,4)
