Answer:
4.71 percent increase
Explanation:
The increase in the number of units sold is 3.8%
Degree of operating leverage is 1.24
Therefore, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows:
Increase in the number of units×degree of operating leverage
= 3.8/100×1.24
= 0.038×1.24
= 0.0471×100
= 4.71%
Hence there is a 4.71 percent increase in the operating cash flow
Break-Even Sales Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $370, the unit variable cost is $300, and the total fixed costs are $1,001,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $410. a. Compute the current break-even sales (units). units b. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant. units
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.
Sterile Feral, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that catches wild or stray cats, and then neuters, vaccinates, and releases them back into the wild. In recent years, nonprofit organizations such as Sterile Feral have turned to marketing to help:__________.
a. receive additional government funding.
b. expand its business to stray dogs.
c. maintain its nonprofit status.
d. achieve organizational goals.
e. compete with other similar organizations.
Answer:
d. achieve organizational goals.
Explanation:
Sterile Feral, Inc. being a non-profit organization that catches wild or stray cats, and then neuters, vaccinates, and releases them back into the wild.
If Sterile Feral Inc. then turns to marketing, this simply means that they're more interested in achieving organizational goals of saving endangered cats.
Also, as a non-profit organization, Sterile Feral Inc. isn't operating solely to make money or profits, it is rather literally trying to impact positively the cat world.
The integration of flower farming in Kenya into global economy creates additional pressure for the ecosystem and the environment in Kenya. The major concern is due to the following.
A. More pollution in Naivasha lake
B. Less water resources for locals
C. extensive use to water flowers
D. All of these
Answer: D. All of these
Explanation:
Lake Naivasha has seen a huge rise in pollution due to the integration of the Kenya flower farming industry. This is due to the chemicals and fertilizers used to farm the flowers. Indeed in the year, Researchers estimate that due to a torrential rainfall that hit the area, millions of fish and aquatic life died when fertilizers and chemicals were washed into the lake.
The use of water from the lake for flower farming has also reduced the amount of water available to locals. This as well as the massive increase in the population of area as people come from far and wide to work for the flower farms have also increased the usage of the lake thereby reducing what is left for the locals.
Used in farming are water flowers and their overuse have led to their numbers dropping as well.

(Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)
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
Dragon Sports Inc. manufactures and sells two products, baseball bats and baseball gloves. The fixed costs are $254,800, and the sales mix is 40% bats and 60% gloves. The unit selling price and the unit variable cost for each product are as follows: Products Unit Selling Price Unit Variable Cost Bats $40 $30 Gloves 100 60 a. 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
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

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?
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.

Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
The explanation has been attached.
It should be noted that:
Income tax expense = $448,000 × 29%
= $448,000 × 29/100
= $448,000 × 0.29
= $129,920
Other comprehensive income will be the unrealized holding gain on the security which will be:
= $89,000 × (100% - 29%)
= $89,000 × 71%
= $89,000 × 0.71
= $63,190

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.)
Differential Revenues
Differntial costs:
Variable
Fixed
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.
c-1. Calculate the differential operating profit (loss). (Losses and amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Differential revenues
Differential costs:
Variable cost increase on current production:
Variable cost on new production:
c-2. Should Playful Pens expand Machine 2's capability by adding these additional workers?
Yes
No
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

Packing Orders 30,000 500 150 350
Required:
Prepare a schedule showing the computations Of the activity-based Overhead rates per cost driver.
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
The auto repair shop of Quality Motor Company uses standards to control the labor time and labor cost in the shop. The standard labor cost for a motor tune-up is given below:
Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost
Motor tune-up 2.50 $36.00 $90.00
The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been misplaced. However, the shop supervisor recalls that 230 tune-ups were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to tune-ups:
Labor rate variance $ 900 F
Labor spending variance $ 249 F
Required:
1. Determine the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week.
2. Determine the actual hourly rate of pay for tune-ups last week. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost
Motor tune-up 2.50 $36.00 $90.00
230 tune-ups were completed during the week
Labor rate variance $ 900 F
Labor spending variance of $ 249 F
1) First, we need to calculate the actual hours:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
249= (2.5*230 - actual quantity)*36
249= 20,700 - 36AQ
-20,451= -36AQ
20,451/36= Actual quantity
568= actual quantity
2) We need to calculate the actual rate:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
900= (36 - Actual Rate)*568
900= 20,448 - 568Actual Rate
19,548/568= Actual Rate
$34.42= Actual Rate
Your boss stops by to see how the research is progressing. She's concerned about your research plan. "I don't think we are ready to run causal research on the effects of advertising.

Which option should you choose now?Select an option from the choices below and click Submit.1- Research the attitudes that men under 35 have towards eSports.2- Research the attitudes that U.S. women and consumers over 35 have towards the eSports industry.
Answer: Research the attitudes that U.S. women and consumers over 35 have towards the eSports industry.
Explanation:
From the question, the boss is concerned about the research plan and says that he does not believe that we are ready to run causal research on the effects of advertising and further said we should re-evaluate the descriptive research options.
Based on the scenario above, I'll choose to research the attitudes that U.S. women and consumers over 35 have towards the eSports industry. By choosing this option, I'll have a large sample size to carry out the descriptive research.
It should also be noted that the descriptive method consist of qualitative natural survey and also the cross sectional research. By researching the attitude of women and consumers, this will give us the opportunity to utilize the cross sectional research. Therefore, the second option is the correct answer.

Explanation:
A statement of cash flow is a financial statement that gives the aggregate cash inflow and cash outflow in an organization during an accounting period. The three categories of statement of cash flows are investing activities, financing activities, and operating activities.
1. Investing activities are essentially the cash activities with respect to non-current assets such as sale of equipment for cash.
2. Financing activities refers to cash activities with respect to owners’ equity and non-current liabilities such as purchase of treasury stock.
3. Operating activities are mainly the cash activities with respect to net income such as payment of employee salaries.
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.
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 company produces a single product. Variable production costs are $13.50 per unit and variable selling and administrative expenses are $4.50 per unit. Fixed manufacturing overhead totals $51,000 and fixed selling and administration expenses total $55,000. Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 5,500 units and sales of 4,350 units, the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing would be:
Answer:
$15,525
Explanation:
Calculation for ending inventory under variable costing
Using this formula
Units in ending inventory = Units in beginning inventory + Units produced −Units sold
Thus,
= 0 units + 5,500 units −4,350 units
= 1,150 units
Formula for Value of ending inventory under variable costing
= Unit in ending inventory × Variable production cost
= 1,150 units × $13.50 per unit
= $15,525
In 2010, the MoreForLess Company had revenues of $2,000,000 while costs were $1,500,000. In 2011, MoreForLess will be introducing a new product line that will generate $200,000 in sales revenues and $160,000 in costs. Assuming no changes are expected for the other products, the differential operating profit for 2011 is
Answer:
Differential profit Profit = $40,000
Explanation:
The differential operating profit is the difference between the operating profit before the introduction of the product and after the introduction of the new product
Profit = Revenue - costs
Profit before the introduction of the new product
= 2,000,000 - 1,500,000 = 500,000
Profit after the introduction of the new product
New revenue = (2,000,000 + 200,000) = 2,200,000
Cumulative cost = 1,500,000 + 160,000 = 1,660,000
Profit = 2,200,000 - 1,660,000 = 540000
Differential profit Profit = 540,000 - 500,000= $40,000
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.
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.
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)

Nordstrom Inc. reports net income of $600 million for its fiscal year ended January 2016. At the beginning of that fiscal year, Nordstrom had $9,245 million in total assets. By fiscal year ended January 2016, total assets had decreased to $7,698 million.
What is Nordstrom's ROA?
Answer:
The answer is 7.1%
Explanation:
ROA means Return on Asset. It is one of the profitability ratios. It tells us how profitable a company is in using its assets. It is the rate of return on assets owned by the business and it is expressed as a percentage. The formula for calculating it is:
Net profit ÷ total assets.
In this the question we have the beginning and the ending total assets, what we need to do is to find the average i.e ($9,245 million + $7,698 million) / 2 =$8,472.5 million
Therefore, Nordstrom's ROA is:
$600 million / $8,472.5 million
= 7.1%

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

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?
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.
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?
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
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
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.
