Sparky Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 38,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 123,000. Units completed and transferred out: 161,000. Ending Inventory: 36,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 25% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $56,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $61,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $375,730. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $612,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of conversion.

Answers

Answer 1

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

Answers

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

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?

Answers

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.)

Answers

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. 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) ??

Answers

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.)

Answers

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.

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?

Answers

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

Newton Company currently produces and sells 5,000 units of a product that has a contribution margin of $6 per unit. The company sells the product for a sales price of $20 per unit. Fixed costs are $40,000. The company is considering investing in new technology that would decrease the variable cost per unit to $9 per unit and double total fixed costs. The company expects the new technology to increase production and sales to 10,000 units of product. What sales price would have to be charged to earn a $90,000 target profit assuming the investment in technology is made

Answers

Answer:

26

Explanation:

The computation of sales price is shown below:-

Particulars                                              Amount

New Fixed Costs                                  $80,000

($40,000 × 2)

Variable Cost per unit                           $9

Total variable cost on 10,000 Units    $90,000

(10,000 × $9)

Total cost                                              $170,000

Profit desired                                        $90,000

Sales                                                     $260,000

Number of units                                   10,000

sales price per unit                              $26

For computing the sales price per unit we simply divide the number of units by sales price per unit.

Azule Co. manufactures in two sequential processes, cutting and binding. The two departments report the information below for a recent month. Cutting Binding Beginning work in process Transferred in from cutting dept. $ 1,250 Direct materials $ 1,070 2,766 Conversion 3,400 3,350 Costs added during March Direct materials $ 10,140 $ 9,456 Conversion 11,100 18,725 Transferred in from cutting dept. 17,110 Transferred to finished goods 33,000 Determine the ending balances in the Work in Process Inventory accounts of each department.

Answers

Answer:

Cutting $8,600

Binding $19,657

Explanation:

Calculation to Determine the ending balances in the Work in Process Inventory accounts of each department

Ending work in process:

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.

FIRST QUESTION

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.

SECOND QUESTION

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.

And how 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.

In this case there is an agency conflict that exist between CSI's CFO and the company's shareholders, this is because the, CSI's CFO engaged in unethical conduct to manipulate the firm's short-term earnings and improve the likelihood of receiving his annual bonus.

Agency conflict in finance, is also regarded as conflict of interest, usually occur between the management and the shareholders of that company, it is conflict that usually emerge when those that are required for certain responsibility like interest of principal decide to divert the the authority for their own benefits. However,agency conflict can be minimized by allowing transparency and some ways.

It should be noted here that the CSI's CFO engaged in unethical conduct to manipulate the firm's short-term earnings and improve the likelihood of receiving his annual bonus which is the reason behind the conflict because he act on his own interest.

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

Answers

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

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?

Answers

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.

Answers

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 Acceptance

Step 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

Answers

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
