Answer:
cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $4.10
Explanation:
beginning WIP = 38,000
100% complete for materials
55% complete for conversion, 45% remaining to be completed
units started and completed = 123,000
units completed and transferred out = 161,000 (including 38,000 of beginning WIP)
ending WIP = 36,500
100% complete for materials
25% complete for conversion
equivalent units processed during this period:
materials = 123,000 + 36,500 = 159,500 EUP
conversion costs = (38,000 x 0.45) + 123,000 + (36,500 x 025%) = 149,225 EUP
cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $612,150 / 149,225 EUP = $4.102194672 ≈ $4.10

Jamie's Motor Home Sales currently sells 1,100 Class A motor homes, 2,200 Class C motor homes, and 2,800 pop-up trailers each year. Jamie is considering adding a mid-range camper and expects that if she does so she can sell 1,500 of them. However, if the new camper is added, Jamie expects that her Class A sales will decline to 850 units while the Class C camper sales decline to 2,000. The sales of pop-ups will not be affected. Class A motor homes sell for an average of $140,000 each. Class C homes are priced at $59,500 and the pop-ups sell for $5,000 each. The new mid-range camper will sell for $42,900. What is the erosion cost of adding the mid-range camper
Answer:
$46,900,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the erosion cost of adding the mid-range camper
Erosion cost = [(1,100 - 850) × $140,000] + [(2,200 -2,000) × $59,500]
Erosion cost =(250×$140,000)+(200×$59,500)
Erosion cost =$35,000,000+$11,900,000
Erosion cost = $46,900,000
Therefore the erosion cost of adding the mid-range camper will be $46,900,000
Andreas Broszio (Geneva). Andreas Broszio just started as an analyst for Credit Suisse in Geneva, Switzerland. He receives the following quotes for Swiss francs against the dollar for spot, 1 month forward, 3 months forward, and 6 months forward. Spot exchange rate: Bid rate SF1.2573/$ Ask rate SF1.2599/$ 1-month forward 10 to 15 3-months forward 14 to 22 6-months forward 20 to 30 The current one-year U.S. T-Bill rate is 4.1%. a. Calculate outright quotes for bid and ask and the number of points spread between each. b. What do you notice about the spread as quotes evolve from spot toward 6 months?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
a) The spread is the difference between the ask and bid price, it is given by:
Spread = ask - bid
The outright quotes are given as:
1 - month forward:
Bid = 1.2573 + 0.0010 = 1.2583
Ask = 1.2599 + 0.0015 = 1.2614
3 - month forward:
Bid = 1.2573 + 0.0014 = 1.2587
Ask = 1.2599 + 0.0015 = 1.2621
1 - month forward:
Bid = 1.2573 + 0.0020 = 1.2593
Ask = 1.2599 + 0.0030 = 1.2629
Bid Ask Spread
1 - month forward: 1.2583 1.2614 0.0031
3 - month forward: 1.2587 1.2621 0.0034
6 - month forward: 1.2593 1.2629 0.0036
b) The spread widen as it spot moves to 6 - month, this can lead to a thinner trading volume.
You are planning to save for retirement over the next 25 years. To do this, you will invest $730 per month in a stock account and $330 per month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 9.3 percent, and the bond account will pay 5.3 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with a return of 6.3 percent. How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 20-year withdrawal period? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
The monthly withdrawal will be of $ 7.823,24
Explanation:
We solve for the future value of each investment:
stock account:
[tex]C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} - 1}{rate} = FV\\[/tex]
C 730
time 300 (25 years x 12 month per year)
rate 0,00775 (9.3% among 12 months)
[tex]730 \times \frac{(1+0,00775)^{300} -1}{0,00775} = FV\\[/tex]
FV $860.498,28
bond account:
[tex]C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = FV\\[/tex]
C 330
time 300
rate (5.3% annual among 12 months) 0,004416667
[tex]330 \times \frac{(1+0,00441667)^{300} -1}{0,00441667} = FV\\[/tex]
FV $205.563,2522
now, we add them:
860498.28 + 205.563,25 = $1.066.061,53
And last, solve for the monthly withdrawal of this sum:
[tex]PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\[/tex]
PV $1.066.061,53
time 240 (20 years x 12 months)
rate 0,00525 (6.3% among 12 months)
[tex]1066061,53 \div \frac{1-(1+0,00525)^{-240} }{0,00525} = C\\[/tex]
C $ 7.823,244

Required:
Channing uses a two-stage cost allocation system, It uses direct-material costs to allocate direct-materials related overhead and direct-labor costs to allocate direct-labor related overhead costs.
a. Compute the direct-material related overhead rate for next month.
b. Compute the direct-labor related overhead rate for next month.
c. What is the total overhead allocated to product A1 next month?
d. What is the total overhead allocated to product B2 next month?
a. predetermined rate ?? % of direct materials costs
b. predetermined rate ?? % of direct-labor cost
c. Total Overhead (A1) ??
d. Total Overhead (B2) ??
Answer:
a. 15% of direct material cost
b. 30% of direct labor cost
c. $16,500
d. $37,500
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:-
a. Predetermine overhead rate = Direct-material related ÷ Total of direct labor
= 13,500 ÷ 90,000
= 15% of direct material cost
b. Predetermine overhead rate = Direct-labor related ÷ Total of direct labor
= 40,500 ÷ 135,000
= 30% of direct labor cost
c. Total overhead (A1) = Direct material × Predetermine overhead rate of direct material + Direct labor × Predetermine overhead rate of direct labor
= 30,000 × 15% + 40,000 × 30%
= $16,500
d. Total overhead (B2) = Direct material × Predetermine overhead rate of direct material + Direct labor × Predetermine overhead rate of direct labor
= 60,000 × 15% + 95,000 × 30%
= $37,500

Using an exponential smoothing model with an alpha value of 0.20, estimate the smoothed value calculated as of the end of 2012. Use the average demand for 2005 through 2007 as your initial forecast for 2008, and then smooth the forecast forward to 2012. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
The forecast for the year 2012 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 366.04.
Explanation:
The first step in order to solve this question/problem is to calculate or determine the Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007, that is to say;
Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007 = [actual sales in 2005 + actual sales in 2006 + actual sales in 2007]/ 3.
Therefore, Exponentially smoothed forecast for a period of time, t using the values of average demand for 2005 through 2007 =[ 281 + 367 + 409]/3 = 1057/3 = 352.3.
Since we are asked to use the smoothed value calculated as of the end of 2012. Use the average demand for 2005 through 2007 as your initial forecast for 2008, then, we have that for 2008 the forecast = 352.3.
Therefore, the forecast from the year 2009 through to the year 2012 can be calculated as given below;
The forecast for the year 2009 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 467 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 375.24.
The forecast for the year 2010 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 369 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 355.64.
The forecast for the year 2011 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 511 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 384.04.
The forecast for the year 2012 with an alpha value of 0.20 = 0.2 × 421 + [1 - 0.2] × 352.3 = 366.04.
Who designed the Parthenon?
Jim recently joined the Austin Barter Club, an organization that facilitates the exchange of services between its members. This year Jim provided lawn-mowing services to other club members. Jim received the following from the barter club. Determine the amount, if any, Jim should include in his gross income in each of the following situations:
A. Jim received $275 of car repair services from another member of the club.
B. Jim received a $150 credit that gave him the option of receiving a season pass at a local ski resort from another member of the club. However, he forgot to request the pass by the end of the ski session and his credit expired.
Answer:
Jim's Gross Income:
A. Car Repair $275
B. Option $0
Explanation:
Jim actually received the $275 car repair services from a club member and should include this sum in his gross income. However, since he did not actually receive the credit option of $150 for the local ski resort, because it expired, he should not include it in his gross income. The exchange was not complete since he did not benefit from the Ski Resort's free services.
Item 6Item 6 On July 15, 2018, Ortiz & Co. signed a contract to provide EverFresh Bakery with an ingredient-weighing system for a price of $90,000. The system included finely tuned scales that fit into EverFresh's automated assembly line, Ortiz's proprietary software modified to allow the weighing system to function in EverFresh's automated system, and a one-year contract to calibrate the equipment and software on an as-needed basis. (Ortiz competes with other vendors who offer ongoing calibration contracts for Ortiz's systems.) If Ortiz was to provide these goods or services separately, it would charge $60,000 for the scales, $10,000 for the software, and $30,000 for the calibration contract. Ortiz delivered and installed the equipment and software on August 1, 2018, and the calibration service commenced on that date. Assume that the scales, software and calibration service are viewed as one performance obligation. How much revenue will Ortiz recognize in 2018 for this contract?
Answer: $74,250
Explanation:
Ortiz put the individual goods together and so charged lower. The amount will need to be apportioned based on the amount they will charge had they sold the goods individually.
Total if sold individually;
= 60,000 + 10,000 + 30,000
= $100,000
Scales;
= (60,000/100,000) * 90,000
= $54,000
Software;
= (10,000/100,000) * 90,000
= $9,000
Calibration;
= (30,000/100,000) * 90,000
= $27,000
The Calibration service is for a year and commenced on August 1, and the year ended December 31 so Ortiz would have to account for a year given those 5 months alone.
= 27,000 * 5/12
= $11,250
The total revenue recognized in 2018;
= 54,000 + 9,000 + 11,250
= $74,250
Beloit Co. is a manufacturer of mini-doughnut machine makers. Early in 2015 a customer asked Beloit to quote a price for a custom-designed doughnut machine to be delivered by the end of 2015. Once purchased, the customer intends to place the machine in service in January 2016 and will use it for four years. The expected annual operating net cash flow is estimated to be $120,000. The expected salvage value of the equipment at the end of four years is about 10% of the initial purchase price. To expect a 15% required rate of return on investment, what would be the maximum amount that should be spent on purchasing the doughnut machine
Answer:
$363,375.20
Explanation:
initial outlay = X
useful life = 4 years
salvage value = 0.1X
NCF years 1 - 4 = $120,000
discount rate = 15%
NPV = 0
X = $120,000/1.15 + $120,000/1.15² + $120,000/1.15³ + ($120,000 + 0.1X)/1.15⁴ =
X = $104,347.83 + $90,737.24 + $78,901.95 + $68,610.39 + 0.05718X
X = $342,597.41 + 0.05718X
0.94282X = $342,597.41
X = $342,597.41 / 0.94282 = $363,375.20

1. (30 points) Please elaborate what will happen to Net Earnings to Sales and Net Earnings to Total Book Assets when you observe these trends. (a) and (b) are separate unrelated circumstances. a) Sales increased by a total of 30% in the prior three years, while Days of Sales in Inventories increased also by 30% in each of these three years. Costs of Goods Sold to Sales remained constant. b) Gross property, plant, and equipment increased by a total of 30% during the prior three years. Operating and administrative expense increased relative to sales by 30% in the prior three years. Sales remained constant. Costs of goods sold to sales remained constant. ANSWER:
Answer:
Impact on Net Earnings to Sales and Net Earnings to Total Book Assets:
a) A company's Net Earnings to Sales and Net Earnings to Total Book Assets will increase due to the 30% increase in sales. This result will be different with an increase by a similar margin in the Cost of Goods Sold.
b) Net Earnings to Sales and Net Earnings to Total Book Assets will decrease by 30% as a result of the increase in Property, Plant, and Equipment, because this increase also increased the operating and administrative expense (depreciation), even though Sales and Cost of Goods Sold remained constant.
Explanation:
The net earnings to sales is an expression of the ratio of the net income to the sales revenue. The net earnings result after deducting all costs from sales revenue. The net earnings to total book assets are the same expression as the Return on Assets.

Cutting = $1,070 + $3,400+ $10,140 + $11,100- $17,110
Cutting = $8,600
Binding = $1,250 + $2,766 + $3,350+ $9,456+ $18,725 + $17,110 - $33,000
Binding= $19,657
Therefore the ending balances in the Work in Process Inventory accounts of each department is:
Cutting $8,600
Binding $19,657
Last week, an investigative reporter for a major metropolitan newspaper discovered that the doctors conducting clinical trials of a new cancer treatment drug are also the principal shareholders in Cancer Solutions Inc. (CSI). CSI is the company developing and attempting to market the drug. Upon being interviewed by federal authorities, the doctors acknowledged their conflict of interest but reported that they were sold the shares at a 75% discount by CSI's chief financial officer. The CFO was concerned that CSI might not be able to meet its annual performance objectives and in turn pay his anticipated multimillion-dollar bonus.
Does an agency conflict exist between CSI's CFO and the company's shareholders?
a. Yes; CSI's CFO engaged in unethical conduct to manipulate the firm's short-term earnings and improve the likelihood of receiving his annual bonus.
b. Yes; the shares should not have been sold at a 75% discount, which is price discrimination.
c. No; professionals, such as doctors and professional money managers, would not participate in unethical activities.
d. No; in general, shareholders are satisfied with company officers engaging in any type of legal or illegal activity to ensure the chances of them receiving greater dividend payments.
Which of the following actions will help ease agency conflicts and better align managers' objectives with the firm's shareholder wealth?
a. Pay the manager a combination of salary and stock options (phased in over several years) that reward him or her for consistently increasing shareholder wealth.
b. Pay the manager a large base salary with a huge stock option package that matures on a single date.

Modern Flooring is considering a new product line. The new line would require $134,000 of fixed assets and net working capital of $24,000. The firm will apply straight-line depreciation to a zero salvage value over three years. The new line is expected to produce an operating cash flow of $35,000 the first year with that amount decreasing by 10 percent annually for two years before the new line will be discontinued. The fixed assets can be sold for $25,000 at the end of the project and all net working capital will be recovered. What is the net present value of the new line at a discount rate of 11.5 percent and a tax rate of 35 percent
Answer:
-51,784
Explanation:
Net present value can be calculated by first calculating the present values of operating cash flows each year and the sum up all the present values.
Year 0 1 2 3
Operating CF 35000 31500 28350
Fixed asset -134000
Net working capital -24000 24000
Disposal after tax 16250
(25000x0.65)
Net cashflow -158000 35000 31500 68600
PV Factor 1 0.896 0.804 0.721
PV -158000 31390 25337 49488
NPV = -158000 + 31390 + 25337 + 49488
NPV = -51,784
Workings
PV Factor
Year 0 = 1/(1.115)^0 = 1
Year 1 = 1/(1.115)^1 = 0.896
Year 2 = 1/(1.115)^2 = 0.804
Year 3 = 1/(1.115)^3 = 0.721
X Corporation reported the following data for the month of August: Inventories: Beginning Ending Raw materials $36,000 $24,000 Work in process $23,000 $17,000 Finished goods $37,000 $55,000 Additional information: Budgeted manufacturing overhead cost $672,000 Budgeted direct labor cost $1,680,000 Raw materials purchased $79,000 Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $51,975 Indirect materials included in manufacturing overhead cost incurred $8,000 Manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process using direct labor cost 37800 Job #82 started in August Direct materials used $4,000 Direct labor cost $6,000 Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Fill in the blank without $ or comma or period, e.g., 12345 What was Job# 82's total manufacturing cost in August using normal costing?
Answer:
$12,400
Explanation:
The computation of Job 82's total manufacturing cost in August using normal costing us shown below:-
Overhead rate = Budgeted Overhead ÷ Budgeted Labor cost
= $672,000 ÷ 1,680,000
= 40%
Applied overhead = 6000 × 40%
= 2,400
The Total cost of Job 82 = Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead applied
= $4,000 + $6,000 + $2,400
= $12,400
Acceptance. Amy Kemper was seriously injured when her motorcycle was struck by a vehicle driven by Christopher Brown. Kemper’s attorney wrote to Statewide Claims Services, the administrator for Brown’s insurer, asking for "all the insurance money that Mr. Brown had under his insurance policy." In exchange, the letter indicated that Kemper would sign a "limited release" on Brown’s liability, provided that it did not include any language requiring her to reimburse Brown or his insurance company for any of their incurred costs. Statewide then sent a check and release form to Kemper, but the release demanded that Kemper "place money in an escrow account in regards to any and all liens pending." Kemper refused the demand, claiming that Statewide’s response was a counteroffer rather than an unequivocal acceptance of the settlement offer. Did Statewide and Kemper have an enforceable agreement? Discuss.
Answer:
In the clarification section down, the definition including its concern is mentioned.
Explanation:
In terms of strategy, two important components necessarily entail an "Agreement."
Offer AcceptanceStep 1: Approval + Bid = Agreement
Step 2: Agreement + Enforceability = Contract.
Throughout water to establish a legal Arrangement or Contract, those would be the two underlying equations to be met. Going to come to something like the case's reality, The counsel for Kemper addressed to Statewide Claims Management, Brown's insurance company agent, calling for "all the premium money something which Mr. Brown seems to be under his insurance contract." Statewide decided to send the document and perhaps freedom of the individual to Kemper throughout reaction to the aforementioned request, however, they pointed to Kemper's current requirement that she should put money during an emergency fund concerning anything and everything outstanding liens.Kemper disagreed with all of the above assumptions as well as denied the proposal, arguing that perhaps the response from Nationwide was a counteroffer. If we correctly examine the aforementioned situation, without even any discussion, we will realize that it is indeed a pure "Counter Bid." Why whenever the offender becomes encouraged with just 2 choices, YES/NO, whenever an Offeror makes an object to something like the Offeree. and then when the promise offers a conditional response, it destroys the initial offer so it corresponds to Counter Offer.In quite a similar manner, the Nationwide reaction to Kemper's letter here alone leads to "Counter Bid" and becomes an Absolute acceptance, but not. i.e., there is no approval of an invitation, and no deal remains.There is, however, no "Acceptance" to either the original Bid, and therefore no binding mediation agreements between Nationwide and Kemper have been established.

Spaceley’s Sprockets has just developed a new product. George Jetson, the Head of Product Development, feels that the product is a winner, but he also feels it would be an even better product if waited six more months for further development before launching. Unfortunately, Spaceley’s closest competitor, Cogsley Cogs, has a similar product in the development pipeline. George feels that if he launches the product now to get a head start on Cogsley, he has a 50% chance of achieving a high level of sales, a 30% chance of a medium level of sales, and a 20% chance of a low level of sales. If he waits, he has a 30% chance of a high level of sales, and a 70% chance of a medium level of sales, with no chance of a low level of sales. High sales represents 100,000 units, medium sales represents 65,000 units, and low sales represents 10,000 units. If his objective is to maximize his expected number of units sold, what should George do and how many units would he be expected to sell
Answer:
George should wait for six more months for further development before launching.
Total units expected to be sold by this time is 75500 units
Explanation:
when launched early
Spaceley has : 50% of high level sale, 30% chance of medium level sale
20% chance of low level sale
When launched late
Spaceley has : 30% of high level sale, 70% of medium level sale, o% of low level sale
while
High sales = 100000
Medium sale = 65000
low level sale = 10000
A) when launched early
50% * 100000 = 50000
30% * 65000 = 19500
20% * 10000 = 2000
Total sales = 71500 units
B) when launched after 6 months
30% * 100000 = 30000
70% * 65000 = 45500
Total sales = 75500 units
George should wait for six more months for further development before launching.
Total units expected to be sold by this time is 75500 units
