Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services.
In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.
In Accounting, costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
The various types of cost variance components and their definition includes the following;
1. Standard price: the expected price
2. Actual quantity: the input used to manufacture the quantity of output
3. Actual price: the amount paid to acquire input
4. Standard quantity: the expected input for the quantity of output

Differential Analysis for Further Processing
The management of Dominican Sugar Company is considering whether to process further raw sugar into re-fined sugar. Re-fined sugar can be sold for $2.20 per pound, and raw sugar can be sold without further processing for $1.40 per pound. Raw sugar is produced in batches of 42,000 pounds by processing 100,000 pounds of sugar cane, which costs $0.35 per pound of cane. Re-fined sugar will require additional processing costs of $0.50 per pound of raw sugar, and 1.25 pounds of raw sugar will produce 1 pound of re-fined sugar.

LBC Corporation makes and sells a product called Product WZ. Each unit of Product WZ requires 2.4 hours of direct labor at the rate of $20.00 per direct labor-hour. Management would like you to prepare a Direct Labor Budget for June. The company plans to sell 43,000 units of Product WZ in June. The finished goods inventories on June 1 and June 30 are budgeted to be 550 and 110 units, respectively. Budgeted direct labor costs for June would be:
Answer:
Total direct labor hours= 102,144
Total direct labor costs= $2,042,880
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Standard quantity= 2.4 hours
Standard rate= $20 per hour
First, we need to calculate the production required:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 43,000 + 110 - 550
Production= 42,560 units
Now, the direct labor budget:
Total direct labor hours= 42,560*2.4= 102,144
Total direct labor costs= 102,144*20= $2,042,880
Allegheny Company ended Year 1 with balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $58,000 and $2,700, respectively. During Year 2, Allegheny wrote off $4,800 of Uncollectible Accounts. Using the percent of receivables method, Allegheny estimates that the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance should be $4,400. What amount will Allegheny report as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement
Answer:
The amount of the allowance for the year to be reported in income statement is $6,500.
Explanation:
The amount of the allowance for the year to be reported in income statement can be calculated as follows:
Allowance for the year to be reported in income statement = Ending ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance + Uncollectible written off during the year - Opening Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance = $4,400 + $4,800 - $2,700 = $6,500
Therefore, the amount of the allowance for the year to be reported in income statement is $6,500.

Caughlin Company needs to raise $75 million to start a new project and will raise the money by selling new bonds. The company will generate no internal equity for the foreseeable future. The company has a target capital structure of 75 percent common stock, 5 percent preferred stock, and 20 percent debt. Flotation costs for issuing new common stock are 11 percent, for new preferred stock, 8 percent, and for new debt, 3 percent.
What is the true initial cost figure the company should use when evaluating its project? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, i.e. 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Initial cost $
Answer: $82,644,628
Explanation:
The true initial cost figure that the company should use when evaluating its project will be calculated as:
First we calculate the weighted average flotation which will be:
= (0.75 × 0.11) + (0.05 × 0.08) + (0.20 × 0.03)
= 9.25%
Therefore, the amount raised will be:
= 75 million / (1 - 9.25%)
= 75 million / (1 - 0.0925)
= $82,644,628
Therefore, the true initial cost is $82,644,628.

c. labor of the clerical staff.
Answer:
b. units completed and transferred to finished goods.
c. units in ending work in process inventory.
b. labor of the maintenance employees.
c. labor of the clerical staff.
Explanation:
EUP stands for the "equivalent units of production". It is the largest number of the units a factory can produce during the period for a given cost if all the efforts were used for one type of unit only.
The assigned cost relates to the unites that is completed as well as transferred to the finished goods. It also refers to the units in the ending work in the process inventory.
Indirect labor cost is the cost that is associated with the cost of the labors which is not directly associated to the production of goods. It includes the cost of the labor for the clerical staff and also for the maintenance employees.

Currently, Forever Flowers Inc. has a capital structure consisting of 20% debt and 80% equity. Forever's debt currently has an 7% yield to maturity. The risk-free rate (rRF) is 3%, and the market risk premium (rM - rRF) is 8%. Using the CAPM, Forever estimates that its cost of equity is currently 13.5%. The company has a 40% tax rate. What is Forever's current WACC
Answer:
WACC = 11.6%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the average cost of all the various sources of long-term finance used by a business weighted according to the proportion which each source of finance bears to the the entire pool of fund.
To calculate the weighted average cost of capital, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Calculate cost of individual source of finance
Cost of Equity= 13.5%
After-tax cost of debt:
= (1- T) × before-tax cost of debt
= 7%× (1-0.4)= 4.2%
Step 2 : calculate the proportion or weight of the individual source of finance . (This already given)
Equity = 80%
Debt= 20%
Step 3:Work out weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
WACC = ( 13.5%× 80%) + ( 4.2%× 20%) = 11.64%
WACC = 11.6%

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $940,000, and it would cost another $25,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $624,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $19,000. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $301,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%.
Required:
a. What is the Year 0 net cash flow?
b. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, 3?
c. What is the additional Year 3- cash flow (i.e. after tax salvage and the return of working capital)?
d. If the project's cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased
Answer:
a. Year 0 Net Cash Flows = $984,000
b. We have:
Year 1 net operating cash flows = $306,159
Year 2 net operating cash flows = $332,986
Year 3 net operating cash flows = $261,479
c. Additional Year 3- cash flow = $504,877
d. The machine should be purchased.
Explanation:
We start by first calculating the following:
Initial Investment = Base Price + Modification Cost = $940,000 + $25,000 = $965,000
Useful Life = 3 years
Depreciation in Year 1 = 0.3333 * $965,000 = $321,634.50
Depreciation in Year 2 = 0.4445 * $965,000 = $428,942.50
Depreciation in Year 3 = 0.1481 * $965,000 = $142,916.50
Book Value at the end of Year 3 = $965,000 - $321,634.50 - $428,942.50 - $142,916.50 = $71,506.50
After-tax Salvage Value = Salvage Value - (Salvage Value - Book Value) * Marginal tax rate = $624,000 – ($624,000 - $71,506.50) * 25% = $485,877
Initial Investment in NWC = $19,000
We can now proceed as follows:
a. What is the Year 0 net cash flow?
Year 0 Net Cash Flows = Initial Investment + Initial Investment in NWC = $965,000 + $19,000 = $984,000
b. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, 3?
Year 1 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 1) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $321,634.50) = $306,159
Year 2 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 2) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $428,942.50) = $332,986
Year 3 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 3) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $142,916.50) = $261,479
c. What is the additional Year 3- cash flow (i.e. after tax salvage and the return of working capital)?
Additional Year 3- cash flow = NWC recovered + After-tax Salvage Value = $19,000 + $485,877 = $504,877
d. If the project's cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?
This can be determined from the net present value (NPV) calculated as follows:
NPV = -$984,000 + ($306,159/1.12^1) + ($332,986/1.12^2) + ($261,479/1.12^3) + ($504,877/1.12^3) = $100,287.71
Since the NPV of the machine of $100,287.71 is positive, the machine should be purchased.
Jeff Heun, president of Splish Always, agrees to construct a concrete cart path at Dakota Golf Club. Splish Always enters into a contract with Dakota to construct the path for $200,000. In addition, as part of the contract, a performance bonus of $34,000 will be paid based on the timing of completion. The performance bonus will be paid fully if completed by the agreed-upon date. The performance bonus decreases by $8,500 per week for every week beyond the agreed-upon completion date. Jeff has been involved in a number of contracts that had performance bonuses as part of the agreement in the past. As a result, he is fairly confident that he will receive a good portion of the performance bonus. Jeff estimates, given the constraints of his schedule related to other jobs, that there is 55% probability that he will complete the project on time, a 30% probability that he will be 1 week late, and a 15% probability that he will be 2 weeks late.
Required:
Determine the transaction price that Concrete Always should compute for this agreement.
Answer:
$234,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the transaction price that Concrete Always should compute for this agreement
Using this formula
Transaction price=Contract Price* Estimated performance bonus
Let plug in the formula
Transaction price=$200,000+$34,000
Transaction price=$234,000
Therefore the transaction price that Concrete Always should compute for this agreement are $234,000
Fordman Company has a product that passes through two processes: Grinding and Polishing. During December, the Grinding Department transferred 20,000 units to the Polishing Department. The cost of the units transferred into the second department was $40,000. Direct materials are added uniformly in the second process. Units are measured the same way in both departments.
The second department (Polishing) had the following physical flow schedule for December:
Units to account for:
Units, beginning work in process 4,000 (40% complete)
Units started ?
Total units to account for ?
Units accounted for:
Units, ending work in process 8,000 ( 50% complete)
Units completed ?
Units accounted for ?
Costs in beginning work in process for the Polishing Department were direct materials, $5,000; conversion costs, $6,000; and transferred in, $8,000. Costs added during the month: direct materials, $32,000; conversion costs, $50,000; and transferred in, $40,000.

Pipelines rank third after railroads and motor carriers in ton-miles transported, but most people do not recognize pipelines as a major mode of transportation. Nevertheless, pipelines are the preferred method used for transporting crude oil, diesel fuel, kerosene, and gasoline in the United States. What are some drawbacks to transporting via pipeline
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Some of the drawbacks to transportation via pipeline include:
1. Pipeline transportation isn't flexible, it's typically a one way system and can be used for certain fixed points only. It's flexibility is poor.
2. Once it has been laid, the capacity of the pipeline cannit be increased further.
3. Once there is leakage, repairing it is a challenge as it may not be easily detected.
4. It requires huge investment to set up and maintaining it is challenging.
5. It can lead to illegal pilferage which may being about accidents and death.
