Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Calculate the payback period for each product.

A = 2.71 years, A is preferredB = 2.8 years

2. Calculate the net present value for each product.

A = $60,349B = $83,001, B is preferred

3. Calculate the internal rate of return for each product.

A = 25%, A is preferredB = 23%

4. Calculate the project profitability index for each product.

A = 121%, A is preferredB = 117%

5. Calculate the simple rate of return for each product.

A = 184%, A is ´preferred B = 179%

6B. Based on the simple rate of return, Lou Barlow would likely:

1. Accept Product A, since its IRR is 25% which exceeds the company's  minimum ROI (23%)

Explanation:

                                       Product A               Product B

Initial investment:

Cost of equipment          $290,000              $490,000

Annual revenues and costs:

Sales revenues              $340,000               $440,000

Variable expenses         $154,000               $206,000

Depreciation expense    $58,000                 $98,000

Fixed out-of-pocket

operating costs               $79,000                 $59,000

net cash flow                  $107,000                $175,000

The company's discount rate is 16%.

payback period

A = $290,000 / $107,000 = 2.71 years, A is preferred

B = $490,000 / $175,000 = 2.8 years

using an excel spreadsheet I calculated the NPV and IRR

NPV

A = $60,349

B = $83,001, B is preferred

IRR

A = 25%, A is preferred

B = 23%

Project profitability

A = $350,349 / $290,000 = 1.21

B = $573,001 / $490,000 = 1.17

Simple rate of return

A = $535,000 / $290,000 = 184%, A is ´preferred

B = $875,000 / $490,000 = 179%

Lansing, Inc., provided the following data for its two producing departments: Molding Polishing Total Estimated overhead $400,000 $80,000 $480,000 Direct labor hours (expected and actual): Form A 1,000 5,000 6,000 Form B 4,000 15,000 19,000 Total 5,000 20,000 25,000 Machine hours: Form A 3,500 3,000 6,500 Form B 1,500 2,000 3,500 Total 5,000 5,000 10,000 Machine hours are used to assign the overhead of the Molding Department, and direct labor hours are used to assign the overhead of the Polishing Department. There are 30,000 units of Form A produced and sold and 50,000 of Form B. Required:
1. Calculate the overhead rates for each department.
2. Using departmental rates, assign overhead to the two products and calculate the overhead cost per unit. How does this compare with the plantwide rate unit cost, using direct labor hours?
3. What if the machine hours in Molding were 1,200 for Form A and 3,800 for Form B and the direct labor hours used in Polishing were 5,000 and 15,000, respectively? Calculate the overhead cost per unit for each product using departmental rates, and compare with the plantwide rate unit costs calculated in Requirement 2. What can you conclude from this outcome?

Answers

Answer:

1. Form A$80 per machine hour

Form B $4 per direct labor hour

2.Form A from $3.84 to $10.00

Form B from $7.30 to $3.60

3. Form A Unit overhead cost $ 3.87

Form B Unit overhead cost $ 7.28

Explanation:

Lansing, Inc

1. Overhead rates for each department will be;

Molding

$400,000/5,000

= $80 per machine hour

Polishing

$80,000/20,000

= $4 per direct labor hour

2. The overhead assignment:

Form A

($80 ×3,500) + ($4 ×5,000)

$280,000+$20,000

=$300,000

Form B

($80 ×1,500) + ($4 ×15,000)

$120,000+$20,000

=$180,000

Total applied overhead $300,000 and $180,000

Units of production Form A :

300,000÷30,000

=Unit overhead cost $10.00

Units of production Form B

180,000÷50,000

= Unit overhead cost $3.60

Plantwide rate Will be :

$480,000/25,000

= $19.20 per direct labor hour

Form A overhead cost in units will be:

$19.20 ×6,000/30,000

$19.20×0.2

$3.84

Form B overhead cost in unit will be :

$19.20 ×19,000/50,000

$19.20×0.38

$7.296 approximately $7.30

The plantwide rate for Form A

$3.84 to $10.00

The plantwide rate for Form B

$7.30 to $3.60

3. Overhead assignment:

Form A

($80 ×1,200) + ($4 ×5,000)

=$96,000+$20,000

=$116,000

Form B

($80 ×3,800) + ($4 ×15,000)

=$304,000 +$60,000

=$364,000

Total applied overhead

Form A $116,000

Form B $364,000

Units of production

Form A

$116,000 ÷ 30,000

=Unit overhead cost $ 3.87

Form B

$364,000÷ 50,000

Unit overhead cost $ 7.28

When compared to the plantwide unit overhead costs the cost will be $0.03 more higher for Form A and $0.02 less for Form B.

Which means that departmental rates may not cause a change in the assignments because It will depends on the complexity of each product and the way in which the resource demands are been made in each of the department.

Jasper and Crewella Dahvill were married in year 0. They filed joint tax returns in years 1 and 2. In year 3, their relationship was strained and Jasper insisted on filing a separate tax return. In year 4, the couple divorced. Both Jasper and Crewella filed single tax returns in year 4. In year 5, the IRS audited the couple’s joint year 2 tax return and each spouse’s separate year 3 tax returns. The IRS determined that the year 2 joint return and Crewella’s separate year 3 tax return understated Crewella’s self-employment income, causing the joint return year 2 tax liability to be understated by $12,700 and Crewella’s year 3 separate return tax liability to be understated by $7,350. The IRS also assessed penalties and interest on both of these tax returns. Try as it might, the IRS has not been able to locate Crewella, but they have been able to find Jasper. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.)
a. What amount of tax can the IRS require Jasper to pay for the Dahvill’s year 2 joint return?
Amount of Tax:__________________
b. What amount of tax can the IRS require Jasper to pay for Crewella’s year 3 separate tax return?
Amount of Tax:__________________

Answers

Answer: a. $12,700

b. $0

Explanation:

a. As Jasper and Crewella Dahvill filed joint tax returns in Year 2, both of them are joint and severally liable for any errors that may arise in the filing. The IRS could not find Crewella but they could find Jasper and as he is liable as well, he will have to pay the full amount that Crewella understated their tax liability by.

b. In year 3, Jasper and Crewella Dahvill had a strained relationship and filed their returns separately. As a result Jasper is not liable for any errors that will arise from Crewella's tax returns filing including the understatement of tax liability.

As a manager your organization is constantly confronted with a variety of changes in the market or a wide range of situations. You have to recruit and select a manager for a group of employees responsible for several related products. You have just read about Fiedler’s Contingency model and decided to use the LPC score to aid you in selecting a leader for the management group. You have interviewed four candidates for the job (Erin, Josh, Michael, Tabitha) and the scores for each of the candidates were Erin=high LPC, Josh=moderately high LPC, Michael=middle LPC, Tabitha=low LPC. Which of the candidates would you hire?A. ErinB. JoshC. MichaelD. TabithaE. None of these.

Answers

Answer:

C. Michael

Explanation:

The least preferred coworker scale is a method used to determine the leadership style of individuals. It was developed by Fred Fiedler and American scholar.

When a person gives positive feedback on coworkers they are more relationship oriented and get a high LPC score.

For those that give negative feedback on coworkers, they are task oriented and will get low LPC scores.

Relationship oriented style is used when employees are experienced and know what to do, while task oriented leadership is needed when the team is less experienced or results need to be delivered in a short time.

The organization is constantly confronted with a variety of changes in the market or a wide range of situations. So this requires a mix of both relationship and task oriented leadership to adapt to changing organisational needs.

Michael is the best option with middle LPC score.

A firm has fixed assets of $28,000, long-term debt of $12,000, current liabilities of $4,000, current assets of $5,000 and equity of $17,000. What is the total of the assets side of the balance sheet of the firm

Answers

Answer:

$33,000

Explanation:

assets = liabilities + stockholders' equity

assets include current assets + non current or fixed assets = $5,000 + $28,000 = $33,000

liabilities and stockholders' equity include current liabilities + long term liabilities + equity = $4,000 + $12,000 + $17,000 = $33,000

both sides of the accounting equation must always be equal, that is meant by balance.

Kerbow Corporation uses part B76 in one of its products. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the 12,000 units of the part that are needed every year. An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $27.40 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the outside supplier's offer were accepted, only $6,000 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided. In addition, the space used to produce part B76 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $29,000 per year for that product.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.B. Identify which alternative the company should choose and explain why.C. Determine what errors managers may make when considering make or buy decisions and basing the decision solely on the data?

Answers

Answer:

12,000 units

outside supplier offers at $27.40 each = $328,800

current relevant costs:

direct materials $7.20 x 12,000 = $86,400direct labor $7.10 x 12,000 = $85,200variable overhead $3.50 x 12,000 = $42,000 supervisor's salary $4.70 x 12,000 = $56,400total = $270,000

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.

Compute the break-even sales (units) for the overall enterprise product, E. units b. How many units of each product, baseball bats and baseball gloves, would be sold at the break-even point

Answers

Answer:

a)Break-even sales in units= 9,100 units

b)The number of units of each products:

Bat= 3,640 units

Gloves= 5,460 units

Explanation:

The break-even sales in unit = total general fixed cost/Average contribution per unit

Average contribution per unit = (40%× (40-30) )+ (60%×(100-60) )=28

Break-even Sales = $254,800/$28=9100  units

Break-even sales in units= 9,100 units

The number of units of each products:

Bat = 40%×9100 =3,640  units

Gloves = 60%× 9,100 =5,460  units

Bat= 3,640 units

Gloves= 5,460 units

Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant. units

Answers

Answer:

a. 14,300 units

b. 9,100 units

Explanation:

a. For computation of current break-even sales (units) first we will find out the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:-

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost

= $370 - $300

= $70

Current break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= $1,001,000 ÷ $70

= 14,300 units

b. For computation of anticipated break-even sales (units) first we will find out the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:-

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost

= $410 - $300

= $110

Anticipated break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= $1,001,000 ÷ $110

= 9,100 units

So, we have applied the above formula.

Marigold Corp. budgeted costs for 70000 linear feet of block are: Fixed manufacturing costs$24000 per month Variable manufacturing costs$16 per linear foot Marigold installed 40000 linear feet of block during March. How much is budgeted total manufacturing costs in March

Answers

Answer:

$664,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total budgeted manufacturing cost is shown below:

Total manufacturing costs = Variable manufacturing cost + Fixed  manufacturing cost

= ($16 × 40,000 units ) + $24,000  

= $664,000

We simply added the variable manufacturing cost and the Fixed  manufacturing cost so that the total budgeted manufacturing cost could come and the same is to be considered

Which of the following statements is correct?a. The cost of new equity (re) could possibly be lower than the cost of retained earnings (rs) if the market risk premium, risk-free rate, and the company's beta all decline by a sufficiently large amount.b. The component cost of preferred stock is expressed as rp(1 - T), because preferred stock dividends are treated as fixed charges, similar to the treatment of interest on debt.c. Its cost of retained earnings is the rate of return shareholders require on a firm's common stock.d. We should use historical measures of the component costs from prior financing when estimating a company's WACC for capital budgeting purposes.

Answers

Answer:

c. Its cost of retained earnings is the rate of return shareholders require on a firm's common stock.

Explanation:

The formula to compute the cost of retained earning is as follows

Cost of retained earning = (Expected annual dividend ÷ Price of the stock) + growth rate

It is the rate of return that equates with the cost of equity plus it also earns on the investment done in the company i.e equity

In a mathematical expression,

Cost of retained earnings = Cost of equity

hence, the correct option is c.

A firm's bonds have a maturity of 14 years with a $1,000 face value, have an 8% semiannual coupon, are callable in 7 years at $1,073.00, and currently sell at a price of $1,135.93. What are their nominal yield to maturity and their nominal yield to call? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

YTM = 6.51%

YTC = 6.40%

Explanation:

We need to solve using excel goal seek or bond formulas to generate the yield (interest rate) which matches the future couponb and maturity payment with the current selling price of the bond:

Present value of the coupon

[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]

C 40.000 (1,000 x 8% / 2 payment per year)

time 28 (14 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.032529972 (generate using goal seek tool)

[tex]40 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0325299719911398)^{-28} }{0.0325299719911398} = PV\\[/tex]

PV $727.8688

Pv of the maturity (lump sum)

[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   28.00

rate  0.032529972

[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0325299719911398)^{28} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   408.06

PV c $727.8688

PV m  $408.0612

Total $1,135.9300

As this is a semiannual rate we multiply it by 2

0.032529972 x 2 = 0.065059944 = 6.51%

We repeat the procedure with changing the time and end-value to adjust for the callabe conditions:

[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]

C 40.000

time 14 (7 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.032015131

[tex]40 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0320151313225188)^{-14} }{0.0320151313225188} = PV\\[/tex]

PV $445.6984

[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]  

Maturity   1,073.00 (call price)

time   14.00

rate  0.032015131

[tex]\frac{1073}{(1 + 0.0320151313225188)^{14} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   690.23

PV c $445.6984

PV m  $690.2316

Total $1,135.9300

Againg his will be a semiannual rate so we multiply by two:

0.032015131 x 2 = 0.064030263 = 6.40%

Playful Pens, Inc., makes a single model of a pen. The cartridge for the pen (which contains the ink) is manufactured on one machine. The cartridge holder (which you hold when you use the pen)is manufactured on another machine. Monthly capacities and production levels are as follows:
Machine 1 (Cartridge) Machine 2 (Holders)
Monthly capacity 1,000,000 800,000
Monthly production 800,000 800,000
The company could sell 1,000,000 pens per month. The units (cartridge inside of holder) sell for $10.40 each and have a variable cost of $4.10 each. Fixed costs are $4,200,000 per month.
Required:
a. Is there a bottleneck at Playful Pens on Machine 1 or Machine 2?
A. Machine 1
B. Machine 2
b. Playful Pens's production supervisors state they could increase machine 2's capacity by 200,000 per month by producing holders on the weekend. Producing on the weekend would not affect the sales price. Variable cost per unit would increase by $1.10 for those produced on the weekend because of the premium paid to labor. Fixed costs would also increase by $820,000 per month.
b-1. Calculate the differential operating profit (loss). (Losses and amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)

b-2. Should Playful Pens produce holders on the weekend?
Yes
No
c. Independent of the situation in requirement (b), Playful Pens could expand the capability of machine 2 by adding additional workers to perform ongoing maintenance. This would increase its capacity by 100,000 holders per month. This would not affect sales price or fixed costs, but would increase variable cost to $4.62 per unit for all units produced.

Answers

Answer:

a) B. Machine 2

b) $220,000

b-2) Yes , positive differential profit.

c-1) $162,000

c-2) Yes , positive differential profit.

Explanation:

B) Differential revenues  = $10.40 x 200,000 = $2,080,000

Differential costs:

Variable cost on new production = $5.20 x 200,000 = $1,040,000

Fixed costs = $820,000

differential profit = $2,080,000 - $1,040,000 - $820,000 = $220,000

c) Differential revenues  = $10.40 x 100,000 = $1,040,000

Differential costs:

Variable cost increase on current production = ($4.62 - $4.10) x 800,000 = $416,000

Variable cost on new production = $4.62 x 100,000 = $462,000

differential profit = $1,040,000 - $878,000 = $162,000

A store sells 20 ice cream bars per hour for $4 each, but on discount days, it sells 35 ice cream bars per hour for $3. Based on these two data points, what would be the slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold?

Answers

Answer:

The slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold would be of -1/15

Explanation:

In order to calculate the slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold we would have to calculate the following formula:

Slope= change in yaxis( vertical)/change in xaxis(horizontal)

Slope= change in price/change in quantity demand

Slope=P2-P1/Q2-Q1

Slope=3-4/35-20

Slope=-1/15

The slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold would be of -1/15

Answer:

1. Overhead cost per unit for Model 145 is $515.59, and overhead cost per unit for Model 212 is $265.12.

2.Total cost per unit for Model 145 is $765.59, and total cost per unit for Model 212 is $445.12.

3. Profit per unit for Model 145 is $54.41, while profit per unit for Model 212 is $34.88.

Explanation:

1. Using ABC, compute the overhead cost per unit for each product line. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)

Note: See the attached excel file for the computation.

2. Determine the total cost per unit for each product line if the direct labor and direct materials costs per unit are $250 for Model 145 and $180 for Model 212. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)

Total cost per unit for each model = Overhead cost per unit + direct labor and direct materials costs per unit.

Therefore, we have:

Total cost per unit for Model 145 =  $515.59 + $250 = $765.59

Total cost per unit for Model 212 = $265.12 + $180 = $445.12

3. Assume if the market price for Model 145 is $820 and the market price for Model 212 is $480, determine the profit or loss per unit for each model. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)

Profit or loss per unit for each model = Market price per unit - Total cost per unit.

Therefore, we have:

Profit or loss per unit for Model 145 = $820 - $765.59 = $54.41 profit

Profit or loss per unit for Model 212 = $480 - 445.12 = $34.88 profit

Prepare a schedule showing the computations Of the activity-based Overhead rates per cost driver.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Machine setup Setups $16,000 40 25 15

Machining Machine hours $110,000 5,000 1,000 4,000

Packing Orders $30,000 500 150 350

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Machine setup= 16,000/(40+25+15)= $200 per setup

Machining= 110,000/ (5,000 + 1,000 + 4,000= $11 per machine hour

Packing= 30,000/ (500 + 150 + 350)= $30 per order

Suppose your employer offers you a choice between a $ 4 comma 600 bonus and 200 shares of the company stock. Whichever one you choose will be awarded today. The stock is currently trading for $ 64 per share. Ignore transaction costs. a. Suppose that if you receive the stock​ bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you​ choose? What is its​ value? b. Suppose that if you receive the stock​ bonus, you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus​ now? What will your decision depend​ on?

Answers

Answer:

a. Suppose that if you receive the stock​ bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you​ choose? What is its​ value?

I would choose the stock bonus because the current market price = 200 x $64 = $12,800 which is much higher than $4,600 (cash bonus)

b. Suppose that if you receive the stock​ bonus, you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus​ now? What will your decision depend​ on?

Even if you are required to hold the stock for one year, the price difference with the cash bonus is too great = ($12,800 - $4,600) / $4,600 = 178% higher. Since you are employed by the company, you should know if the company is doing well or not, and the probable future stock price.

Only if something catastrophic happened to the company would make the cash bonus more attractive.

The Perfect competition is a market condition in which there are very large number of buyers and sellers that sell the same or identical products having perfect knowledge with respect to products and services. Moreover, there is free entry and exit in this market

Monopolistic competition is a market condition that deals with many firms that are closely related to each other but sell differentiated products. Moreover, there is free entry and exit in this market

In the monopoly market, there is only one seller who controls the overall market. Due to this, the seller charged the high price as there is no competition. There is no free entry and exit in this market

In the oligopoly market, there are few sellers who deal in a single market. There is no free entry and exit in this market

Scenario 2 is a perfectly competitive market that has many firms. These firms all sell the same goods which means that they are standardized.

Scenario 3 is an oligopoly as it has very few players in the market and these players control the market and offer the same product.

Scenario 4 is a monopoly that has one firm in the market thanks to the government patent. The product is therefore unique because it is made by one firm.

Answers

Answer:

a. protect "distinctive" or "famous" marks from unauthorized uses even when confusion is not likely to occur.

Explanation:

Trademark dilution laws are rules and regulations that seek to protect the trademarks of well known brands from unauthorized use by other brands, in such a way that the distinctive attribute of the trademark is minimized. Trademark dilution laws are meant to ensure that the main purpose for which a product's trademark is known is meant to stand out significantly in the mind of consumers.

Smaller companies might want to copy the trademark of famous brands for their products which might be different. These laws seek to prevent this act even if it may not cause confusion in the minds of consumers as to which brand owns a product.

A company purchased 10 units for $5 on January 3. It purchased 10 units for $7 each on February 28. It sold 10 units on March 1. If the company uses the last in, first out (LIFO) inventory costing method, what is the dollar amount for ending inventory on the December 31 balance sheet, assuming that the company uses a perpetual inventory system

Answers

Answer:

The dollar amount for ending inventory using the last-in-first-out method of inventory valuation is $50

Explanation:

Using LIFO,last-in-first-out  method of inventory valuation,items received last into the store are deemed to be sold first, hence the sales of 10 units on March 1 was the inventory purchased on February 28, leaving the items of inventory purchased on January 3 as closing inventory

value of closing inventory using LIFO=10*$5=$50
