Answer:
Direct material price variance= $1,638 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials 7.7 ounces $ 2.00 per ounce $ 15.40
Purchases of raw materials 23,400 ounces
Actual cost of raw materials purchases $ 45,100
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= 45,100/23,400= $1.93
Direct material price variance= (2 - 1.93)*23,400
Direct material price variance= $1,638 favorable
Avril Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate is $4.60 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $54,080 per month, which includes depreciation of $3,840. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The direct labor budget indicates that 3,200 direct labor-hours will be required in October. The company recomputes its predetermined overhead rate every month. The predetermined overhead rate for October should be:
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $21.5 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The variable overhead rate is $4.60 per direct labor-hour.
Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $54,080 per month
The direct labor budget indicates that 3,200 direct labor-hours will be required in October.
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
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (54,080/3,200) + 4.6
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $21.5 per direct labor hour

A man works for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: splishy splashies, frizzles, and kipples. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, a man knows that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods.
Run-of-the-Mills provides man's marketing firm with the following data: When the price of splishy splashies decreases by 5%, the quantity of frizzles sold increases by 4% and the quantity of kipples sold decreases by 6%. A man's job is to use the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and the other goods to determine which goods to a man marketing firm should advertise together.
Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and frizzles, and then between splishy splashies and kipples. In the second column, determine if splishy splashies are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating should be recommended marketing with splishy splashies.Relative to Splishy Splashies Recommend Marketing with Splishy Splashies
Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand Complement or Substitute
Frizzles _____ _____ _____
Kipples _____ _____ _____
Answer and Explanation:
According to the given situation, when the amount of splishy splashies decrease by 5%, quantity of frizzles increases by 4%.
So, The cross price elasticity of frizzles relative to splishy splashies = Percentage change in quantity demand for frizzles ÷ Percentage change in price for splishy splashies
= 4 ÷ -5
= -0.80
Now,
Cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and kipples = Percentage change in quantity demand for Kipples ÷ Percentage change in price for splishy splashies
= -6% ÷ -5%
= 1.20
b. Since there is negative cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and frizzles, these products are complementary.
The elasticity of the cross-price between splendid splashies and kipples is positive, these goods being substitutes.
c. Here, I would therefore recommend Raskels marketing, since these two are used together.
The required Table are as shown below:-

Frizzles 0.80 Complements Yes
Kipples 1.20 Substitute No
NewTech Incorporated management plans on paying the company's first dividend of $2.00 three years from today (D3 = $2.00) on its' common stock. After year three the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% thereafter. As an investor with a required rate of return of 15%, what would you pay for NewTech common stock today?
Answer:
Stock price today = $13.807
Explanation:
According to the dividend valuation model , the current price of a stock is the present value of the expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return
This principle can be applied as follows:
The value of cash flow the stock today is the present value of the future cash flow discounted at the required rate of return
Step 1 : Compute the PV in year 3 of future dividend
PV = D× (1+g)/r-g
D- div in year 3, g- growth rate, r-required rate of return
PV in year 3 = 2× (1.05)/0.15-0.05
= 21
Step 2: PV in year in year 0
PV = PV in year 3 × (1+r)^(-n)
r-rate of return- 15%, n- number of years- 3
= 21 × 1.15^(-3)
=13.80784088
Stock price today = $13.807
Each week your supervisor holds a meeting in which he invites you and all the other employees to give feedback regarding current projects. According to path-goal theory, which behavior best describes your supervisor?
1. Supportive
2. Directive
3. Participative
4. Achievement oriented
Answer:
The correct answer is the third option: Participative.
Explanation:
To begin with, the path-goal theory refers to leadership theory developed by Robert House in 1971 and whose main focus is on the behavior that a leader has among its followers and states that the behavior that he has will influece the satisfaction, motivation and performance of his followers.
Secondly, the theory states that there are four behaviors and one of them is the partcipative behavior whose characteristics are that the leader tends to consult with followers and ask for their suggestion before making a final decision and that is why the best behavior that describes correctly to the supervisor is the participative.
A lot of research has demonstrated that there is a relationship between the of employees and that of the customer
Answer:
Satisfaction
Explanation:
A satisfaction is a thing. We just take an example :- When a customer purchase a product from the company he or she investing their money in order to fulfill their needs and wants. In return the customer wants the product is according to their expectations. In the case when the customer is satisfied, the chances of repurchasing of the product is high.
Therefore, as per the current situation there is always a relationship of satisfaction between the customer and the employees of the company.
The table gives a number of daily sales of cars by a local dealership, from a 0 minimum to a 6 maximum, and the number of days each sale happened during a 100 - day survey. That is. 0 cars were sold 6 days, 1 car 8 days, etc.
Car sales per day, X 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Number of days 6 8 22 20 15 16 13
A) Give the probability density function of X.
B) Compute the expected value of A". Explain its meaning.
C) Compute the variance and standard deviation of X.
D) Find the expected value and variance of a function Y = 5 + 12X.
Answer: The answer has been provided and attached.
Explanation:
Based on the attached diagram, there will be 3.3 sales per day.
The variance will be 2.95.
Since standard deviation is the square root of variance, the standard deviation will be:
= ✓2.95
= 1.72
The expected value and variance of a function Y = 5 + 12X will be:
Expected value = 44.6
Variance = 424.8
A company has a net income of $190,000, a profit margin of 9.40 percent, and an accounts receivable balance of $106,351. Assuming 72 percent of sales are on credit, what is the company's days' sales in receivables?
Answer:
The company's days' sales in receivables is 22 days
Explanation:
In order to calculate the company's days' sales in receivables we would have to calculate first the total sales with the following formula:
Total Sales = Net Income / Profit Margin
= $190,000/9.4%=$2,021,276
Hence, Credit Sales = $2,021,276*0.85= $1,718,085
Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Credit sales / Accounts Receivable
= $1,718,085 /$106,351
= 16.15485
Therefore, Days sales in receivables = 365/16.15485= 22.59 days
The company's days' sales in receivables is 22 days

Answer:
Y16 = 7(16) + 195.33 = 307.33
Y17 = 7(17) + 195.33 = 314.33
Y18 = 7(18) + 195.33 = 321.33
Y19 = 7(19) + 195.33 = 328.33
Explanation:
Period (x)
New accounts (Y)
The regression equation:
Y = mx + t
Y is the dependent variable
X is the independent variable
t point where trend line cuts through the x-axis
M is the gradient or slope
Using the regression calculator, the trend line for the data is :
Y = 7X + 195.33
Using the regression equation obtained :
Y16 = 7(16) + 195.33 = 307.33
Y17 = 7(17) + 195.33 = 314.33
Y18 = 7(18) + 195.33 = 321.33
Y19 = 7(19) + 195.33 = 328.33

Q1 The following is a description of the conversion cycle of Central Production Limited: The conversion cycle of the company is triggered by a report from the warehouse. When the quantity of an inventory item falls below a pre-set minimum level, the warehouse manager sends an online inventory status report to production department advising them to schedule a production batch run for the item. Upon receipt of the report, the production clerk assesses the digital bill of materials and the route sheet files for the item to be produced and adds the production details to the online production schedule. The system automatically adds a record to the open work order file and sends an online work order to the work centre supervisor’s computer and to the accounting clerk’s computer. The work centre supervisor receives the work order from his computer and print hard-copy move tickets and materials requisitions for each production process. Production employees take the materials requisitions to store clerk and receives the materials and subassemblies needed to perform the production tasks. If additional materials beyond the standard amount is needed, the work centre supervisor prepares additional materials requisitions. Production employees complete job time tickets after completing a production process to record the time spent on the job. The job time tickets are then sent together with the move tickets to the accounting department. After releasing the materials into production, the store clerk updates the material inventory records and send the materials requisitions to accounting department. The clerk prepares a journal voucher and posts to the general ledger material control account at the end of each day. The accounting clerk assesses the work orders and set up a work-in-process account for a production batch. Throughout the production period, the clerk also receives move tickets, job tickets, and materials requisitions, which he uses to post to the work-in-process account. At the end of each day, the accounting clerk prepares a digital journal voucher and post it to the general ledger work-inprocess and finished goods control accounts.

In an engagement meeting with a client, the management of your client is concerned that the audit tests that you perform will disrupt operations. Your client has recently implemented a data warehouse and the management suggests that you draw the data for analytical reviews and substantive testing from the data warehouse instead of the operational database. The management points out that operational data are copied weekly into the data warehouse and all data you need are contained there. Outline your response to the management’s proposal and mention any concerns you might have. (10 marks, maximum 300 words) Q5 The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Managing Director (MD) of Illustrious Limited recently had the following conversation regarding the development of a new information system for the company: CIO: The way to go about the analysis is to first examine the old system, such as reviewing key documents and observing the workers performing their tasks. Then we can determine which aspects are working well and which should be preserved. MD: We have been through these types of projects before, and what always ends up happening is that we do not get the new system we are promised. Instead we get a modified version of the old system. CIO: I can assure you that will not happen this time. My team just want a thorough understanding of what is working well and what is not. MD: I would feel much more comfortable if we first started with a list of our requirements. We should spend more time in determining what exactly we want the system to do upfront. Then your team can come in and determine what portions to salvage if you wish. Just don’t constrain us to the old system! Required: a) The CIO and MD have different views on how the system analysis should be performed. Comment on whose position you sympathise with the most. (6 marks, maximum 200 words) b) What method would you recommend to Illustrious Limited for system analysis? Explain. (4 marks, maximum 150 words)
Answer:
a)
To my view, the MD viewpoint is better. In companies the existing process is usually analyzed and the pain points identified whenever there is a need for change. The new system is simply a change to the existing system. The stakeholders' specific needs are not completely addressed. The MD calls for a collection of and analysis of demands from scratch to share its needs , requirements and inhibitions between the principal stakeholders. The CIO and their staff would be able to assess in the requirements review process what worked and what did not work well for the organization.
In assessing the current process, the CIO and his team will align their thinking process with the pain points and correct the existing system. They are not going to build the system in a fresh light. A new system that meets the needs of stakeholders can be developed. For everybody, this is a win-win situation. The point of view of MD is therefore more logical and related.
b)
In the particular case, the most logical and comprehensive system analysis method is:
Primary stakeholder requirements collection: Primary stakeholders using the system must be consulted on their specific requirements and needs. It is also necessary to consider the limitations identified by stakeholders.
Comprehension of existing system and pain points: the current system can be analysed based on requirements collection and pain points can be emphasized in the current system.
A new system that will win for everyone: the new system must primarily comply with the needs of the stakeholders.
Presentation and approval of the system blueprint to stakeholders
Development and implementation of the system: system development can be carried out by the agile method of sprinting.
Monitoring and control of the system: to check for performance deviations, the system implemented should be observed. In order to monitor deviations, specific intervention can be implemented.
Payback period was the earliest -Select- selection criterion. The -Select- is a "break-even" calculation in the sense that if a project's cash flows come in at the expected rate, the project will break even. The equation is:
Answer: 1. Capital Budgeting
2. Payback Period
3. Number of Years Prior to Full Recovery + (Unrecovered Cost at Start of Year / Cash flow during the year)
Explanation:
Payback period was the earliest Capital Budgeting selection criterion. The Payback Period is a "break-even" calculation in the sense...
The Payback period is one of the most simple methods in Capital Budgeting and the earliest as well. It simply checked how long it would take to pay back an investment which made it very alluring to investors who wanted to know how long it would be till they started getting a profit.
It therefore essentially checked when the project would Break-Even.
The formula is,
Number of Years Prior to Full Recovery + (Unrecovered Cost at Start of Year / Cash flow during the year)
This means that to calculate the Payback Period, for example, say the investment was $500 and the project brought in $120 for 5 years.
That would mean that in year 4 it would have brought it $480. Year 4 is the Number of Years prior to Full recovery.
The $20 left is the Unrecovered cost at the start of the year and the Cashflow for the year is $120. The Payback is therefore,
= 4 + (20/120)
= 4.17
Pharoah Company accounting records show the following at the year ending on December 31, 2022.
Purchase Discounts $ 11900
Freight-in 15600
Purchases 724020
Beginning Inventory 42000
Ending Inventory 50600
Purchase Returns and Allowances 10700
Using the periodic system, the cost of goods sold is:_______.
Answer:
$ 708,420.00
Explanation:
The formula for cost of goods sold is given below
Cost of goods sold=beginning inventory +purchases +freight-purchase discounts-purchases allowance and returns-ending inventory
Cost of goods sold=$42,000+$724,020+$15,600-$11,900-$10,700-$50,600=$ 708,420.00
The purchases discount and purchase returns reduce the value of purchases made hence deducted.
The ending inventory is left in stock as a result is also deducted
Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next 11 years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth. The company will then pay a dividend of $13.75 per share 12 years from today and will increase the dividend by 5.5 percent per year thereafter. If the required return on this stock is 13.5 percent, what is the current share price
Answer:
$42.69
Explanation:
From the question above Metallica Bearings Inc. is expected to pay a dividend of $13.75 pet share for a period of 12 years
The dividend will increase by 5.5 percent per year
= 5.5/100
= 0.055
The required rate of return is 13.5 percent
= 13.5/100
= 0.135
The first step is to calculate the price at 11 years
Price at 11 years= 13.75/ 0.135-0.055
= 13.75/0.08
= $171.87
The next step in to find the current price by applying the following formular
Current share price= Future value/ (1+r)^n
= $171.875/ (1+0.135)^11
= $171.87/ 1.135^11
= $171.87/ 4.026
= $42.69
Current share price= $42.69
Hence the current share price is $42.69

Hardwig Inc. is considering whether to pursue a restricted or relaxed current asset investment policy. The firm's annual sales are expected to total $3,600,000, its fixed assets turnover ratio equals 4.0, and its debt and common equity are each 50% of total assets. EBIT is $150,000, the interest rate on the firm's debt is 10%, and the tax rate is 40%. If the company follows a restricted policy, its total assets turnover will be 2.5. Under a relaxed policy its total assets turnover will be 2.2. Refer to the data for Hardwig, Inc. Assume now that the company believes that if it adopts a restricted policy, its sales will fall by 15% and EBIT will fall by 10%, but its total assets turnover, debt ratio, interest rate, and tax rate will all remain the same. In this situation, what's the difference between the projected ROEs under the restricted and relaxed policies? a. 2.46% b. 2.98% c. 3.27% d. 2.24% e. 2.70%
Answer:
d. 2.24%
Explanation:
total annual sales = $3,600,000
fixed asset turnover = total sales / fixed assets = 4, that means that total fixed assets = $3,600,000 / 4 = $900,000
debt = 50% = $450,000
equity = 50% = $450,000
EBIT = $150,000
net income = $150,000 x (1 - 40%) = $90,000
restricted policy:
asset turnover = 2.5
sales = $3,600,000 x (1 - 15%) = $3,060,000
EBIT = $135,000
net income = $81,000
assets = $3,060,000 / 2.5 = $1,224,000
equity = $1,224,000 x 50% = $612,000
ROE = $81,000 / $612,000 = 13.24%
relaxed policy:
asset turnover = 2.2
EBIT = $150,000
net income = $90,000
assets = $3,600,000 / 2.2 = $1,636,364
equity = 50% x $1,636,364 = $818,182
ROE = $90,000 / $818,182 = 11%
difference between ROEs = 13.24% - 11% = 2.24%

Dr Cost of goods sold 14,000
Cr LIFO reserve 14,000
Explanation:
1)
Jan. 1 Inventory on hand—80,000 units; cost $4.25 each.
Feb. 14 Purchased 120,000 units for $4.50 each.
Mar. 5 Sold 150,000 units for $14.00 each.
COGS = {[(80,000 x $4.25) + (120,000 x $4.50)] / 200,000} x 150,000 = $660,000
remaining inventory 50,000 units at $4.40 = $220,000
Aug. 27 Purchased 50,000 units for $4.80 each.
Sep. 12 Sold 60,000 units for $14.00 each.
COGS = {[(50,000 x $4.40) + (50,000 x $4.80)] / 100,000} x 60,000 = $276,000
Dec. 31 Inventory on hand—40,000 units at $4.60 = $184,000
2)
Jan. 1 Inventory on hand—80,000 units; cost $4.25 each.
Feb. 14 Purchased 120,000 units for $4.50 each.
Mar. 5 Sold 150,000 units for $14.00 each.
Aug. 27 Purchased 50,000 units for $4.80 each.
Sep. 12 Sold 60,000 units for $14.00 each.
Dec. 31 Inventory on hand—40,000 units at $4.60 = $184,000
total units sold = 210,000
COGS using LIFO = (50,000 x $4.80) + (120,000 x $4.50) + (40,000 x $4.25) = $240,000 + $540,000 + $170,000 = $950,000
Ending inventory = 40,000 x $4.25 = $170,000
3) LIFO reserve = FIFO inventory - LIFO inventory
FIFO inventory = $192,000 - $170,000 = $22,000
4) $22,000 - $8,000 = $14,000
Moody Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Machine-hours required to support estimated production 157,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 650,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 4.40 Required: 1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Job 400 was started and completed. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 320 Direct labor cost $ 230 Machine-hours used 37 Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 400. 3. If Job 400 includes 50 units, what is the unit product cost for this job
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated machine-hours= 157,000
Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead= $650,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $4.40
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overehad rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (650,000/157,000) + 4.4
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $8.54 per machine-hour
Job 400:
Direct materials $320
Direct labor cost $230
Machine-hours used 37
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated overhead= 8.54*37= $315.98
Finally, we need to determine the unitary cost for Job 400:
Total cost= 320 + 230 + 315.98= $865.98
Unitary cost= 865.98/50= $17.32
From the choice of simple moving average, weighted moving average, exponential smoothing, and linear regression analysis, which forecasting technique would you consider the most accurate? Why? (Ch. 18)
Answer:
weighted moving average
Explanation:
Of all these 4 options, the weighted moving average is the most accurate, as it is possible to place specific weights according to their significance.
The other techniques, such as an average, straight line, or exponential curve, assume things. The weighted average can change to any form.
However, the weighted average can be complicated to use if a long time frame is taken.
Additionally, the consumer will most likely want to adjust the weights as time periods pass. That will contribute to the complexity of applying the methods to a wide range of applications, such as predicting inventory item demand.
Hence, the first option is correct

The Baldwin company will continue to train their existing workforce at their current level to help reduce turnover and improve productivity next year. Employee training costs $20 per hour. How much would their training costs per employee be to the nearest dollar
Answer: $1,600
Explanation:
The training hours per employee can be calculated by multiplying the Employee Training hours by the cost of training per employee.
From the Attached document, the Baldwin company does 80 hours of training for employees.
The Training costs per Employee is;
= 80 * 20
= $1,600
If the Baldwin Company organizes 80 hours of training for each employer in a given year, and the training cost per hour for an employee is $20, it implies that the training costs per employee would be $1,600 ($20 x 80).
Data and Calculations:
Training costs per employee per hour = $20
Training hours per employee in a year 80 hours
Total training costs per employee in a year = $1,600 ($20 x 80)
Thus, the Baldwin Company spends $1,600 per employee in training them so that employee turnover would be reduced while productivity improves.

Allowing a tax credit for certain solar energy property can be justified: a.Based on the wherewithal to pay concept. b.As helping small businesses. c.As promoting administrative feasibility. d.As promoting a government policy to use alternative energy sources. e.None of these choices are correct.
Answer: As promoting a government policy to use alternative energy sources.
Explanation:
A tax credit is a form of tax incentive which can help in the reduction of the amount of money that a taxpayer is owing the government. Here, the taxpayer can just deduct the tax credit from the total amount of taxes that the individual owe thereby leading to him paying a lower amount as tax.
In this case, allowing tax credit for certain solar energy property may be a way the government wants to make people start using other forms of energy. Giving tax credit will lead to a cheaper price for the solar energy products.

In case of b, c, d ,e volatility is less than that of original stockAll of the following are techniques being used to make data centers more "green" except:________.
a) use of hydropower.
b) air-cooling.
c) use of wind power.
d) use of backup generators.
e) virtualization.
Answer:
d) use of backup generators.
Explanation:
Going green is a term used for practices that protect the environment by reducing, reusing and recycling resources. It involves engaging in ecologically friendly decisions and lifestyles with a view of preserving natural resources for future generations.
The use of backup generator causes production of green house gases like carbon dioxide. Green house gases erode the ozone layer and increases global warming.
The other options like use of hydropower, air cooling, use of wind power, and virtualisation do not have adverse effect on the environment.
