Answer:
3%
Explanation:
the account pays a 6% annual rate, but since it is compounded semiannually, you must divide it by 2 = 6% / 2 = 3%
since no interperiod interest is paid, the semiannual payment = $200 x 6 = $1,200
the future value = $1,200 x 8.8923 (FV annuity factor, 3%, 8 periods) = $10,670.76
Banana Computer Company sells Banana Computers both in the domestic and foreign markets. Because of the differences in the power supplies, a Banana computer purchased in one market cannot be used in the other market. This means that the company can use third degree price discrimination in order to maximize profits. Let’s suppose that it costs $1,000 to produce each computer (this is marginal and average cost). Let’s suppose further that the domestic and foreign demand curves are given as follows (the subscript "F" denotes "foreign" while the subscript "D" is used to denote "domestic"):
PD=13,000 -20QD
PF= 17,000-40QF
Required:
a. What prices maximize profits for this firm? How many computers do they sell in each market? How much profit does the company earn?
b. Now, suppose that somebody figured out a wiring trick that allows a Banana computer built for either market to be costlessly converted so that it works in the other market. This destroys the company's ability to practice third degree price discrimination and forces them to charge the same price in both markets. What price maximizes the company's profits now? How many computers will they sell in each location? How much profit does the company earn?
Answer:
with price discrimination
Domestic Price 7,000 Quantity 300
Profit (7,000 - 1,000) * 300 = 1,800,000
Foreing Price 9,000 Quantity 200
Profit (9,000 - 1,000) * 200 = 1,600,000
Total 1,600,000 + 1,800,000 = 3,400,000
no price discrimination:
Price 7,667 Quantity 500
Profit (7,667 - 1,000) x 500 = 3,333,500
Explanation:
Sales Revenue (Domestic)
[tex]R = P \times Q_d = (13,000 - 20Q_d) \times Q_d = -20Q_d^2 + 13,000Q_d\\R' = \frac{dR_{(q)}}{dq} = 13,000 - 40Q_d[/tex]
We now equalice against Marginal Cost:
13,000 - 40Qd = 1,000
Qd = 12,000/40 = 300
Price: 13,000 - 20(300) = 7,000
We do the same process with Foreing demand:
(17,000 - 40Qf) x Qf = -40Qf^2 + 17,000Qf
R' = -80Qf + 17,000
-80Qf + 17,000 = 1,000
Qf = 16,000/80 = 200
Pf = 17,000 - 40(200) = 9,000
If the company cannot do price discrimination then:
We solve for the inverse of both market:
PD=13,000 -20QD
QD = 650 - PD/20
we take the price restrictions:
PD < 13,000
PF= 17,000-40QF
QF = (17,000 - PF)/40 = 425
QF = 425 - PF/40
PF < 17,000
Now, we aggregate the demands:
(650 -P/20 ) + (425 -P/40) =
Q= 1,075 - 0.075P
Make the inverse
P = (1,075 - Q ) / 0.075 = 14.333,33 -13.33Q
And solve for the Quantiy and Price that maximize profit
R = (14.333,33 -13.33Q) x Q = -13.33Q^2 + 14,333.33Q
R' = R(q)/dq = -26.66Q + 14,333.33
-26.66Q + 14,333.33 = 1,000
Q = 500
P = 14,333.33 - 13.33(500) = 7,667

The Aleutian Company uses departmental overhead rates. The Fabrication Department uses machine hours for an allocation base, and the Assembly Department uses labor hours. What is the Assembly Department overhead rate per labor hour
Answer:
$4.425 per labor hour
Explanation:
Note: The full question has been attached as picture
Product Rings Labor Hours = 1030 units x 4 labor hours per unit
Product Rings Labor Hours = 4,120 hours
Product Dings Labor Hours = 1810 units x 7 Labor hour per unit
Product Dings Labor Hours = 12,670 hours
Hence, the total Labor Hours = 4,120 hours + 12,670 hours = 16,790 hours
The total Assembly Department Overhead is estimated to be $74,300. Hence, the Assembly Department Overhead rate per labor hour = Total Overhead / Total Labor Hours
Assembly Department Overhead rate = $74,300 / 16,790
Assembly Department Overhead rate = $4.425
Following are several figures reported for Allister and Barone as of December 31, 2015:
Allister Barone
Inventory $50,000 $300,000
Sales 1,000,000 8,00,000
Investment income Not given
Cost of goods sold 500,000 400,000
Operating expenses 230,000 300,000
Allister acquired 90 percent of Barone in January 2020. In allocating the newly acquired subsidiary's fair value at the acquisition date, Allister noted that Barone had developed a customer list worth $66,000 that was unrecorded on its accounting records and had a six-year remaining life. Any remaining excess fair value over Barone's book value was attributed to goodwill. During 2021, Barone sells inventory costing $135,000 to Allister for $190,000. Of this amount, 20 percent remains unsold in Allister's warehouse at year-end.
Determine balances for the following items that would appear on Allister's consolidated financial statements for 2015:
a. Inventory
b. Sales
c. Cost of Goods Sold
d. Operating Expenses
e. Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest
Answer:
a. $344,500
b. $1,610,000
c. $405,500
d. $530,000
e. $9,550 loss
Explanation:
First, Eliminate the Intragroup transactions as follows :
Elimination Journal for the Intragroup Sale :
Sales (Barone) $190,000 (debit)
Cost of Sales (Allister) $190,000 (credit)
Elimination of unrealized profit in closing inventory :
Cost of Sales (Barone) $5,500 (debit)
Inventory (Allister) $5,500 (credit)
Unrealized Profit in Inventory ($190,000 - $135,000) × 10% = $5,500
Then, Consolidate the Financial Statements taking into account the elimination journals
Note : Consolidation is 100% of Parent + 100% of Subsidiary.
Note : A firm that is exercising control (> 50% Voting Rights) is required to prepare Consolidated Financial Statements - IFRS 3.
Consolidated Income Statement
Sales (1,000,000 + 8,00,000 - $190,000) $1,610,000
Cost of Sales ( $500,000 + 400,000 - $190,000 + $5,500) ($715,500)
Gross Profit $894,500
Less Operating Expenses ($230,000 + $300,000) ($530,000)
Net Income $364,500
Consolidated Financial Statement (Extract)
Inventory ($50,000 + $300,000 - $5,500) $344,500
Subsidiary Profit
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest = Net Subsidiary Income × % Non Controlling Interest
Net Subsidiary Income - Barone
Sales (800,000 - 190,000) $610,000
Less Cost of Sales ( 400,000 + 5,500) ($405,500)
Gross Profit $204,500
Less Operating Expenses ($300,000)
Net Income/ (loss) ($95,500)
Therefore,
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest = ($95,500) × 10%
= $9,550 loss
How much would the Gerrards have to put down if the lender required a minimum 20 percent down payment
Answer:
the first part of the question is missing, so I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:
Ben and Marie Gerrard, both in their mid-20s, have been married for 4 years and have two preschool-age children. Ben has an accounting degree and is employed as a cost accountant at an annual salary of $63,000. They're now renting a duplex but wish to buy a home in the suburbs of their rapidly developing city. They've decided they can afford a $210,000 house and hope to find one with the features they desire in a good neighborhood.
If the Gerrards are required to make a minimum 20% down payment, then they need to pay at least $210,000 x 20% = $42,000.
Many lenders require a minimum down payment for a mortgage loan and others charge different interest rates depending on the down payment percentage, e.g. if your down payment represents 30% of the house's value, the interest rate will be lower than a loan with a 20% down payment. The logic behind this is that the higher the down payment, the safer the loan.
Cash flows from operations may not be sufficient for a firm to keep up with growth-related financing needs, or the firm may not be able to always generate enough cash flow to maintain a surplus of cash. Firms prefer to borrow now to fulfill their capital requirements through means of short-term financing or long-term financing. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.
The following statement identifies a possible characteristic of short-term financing.
Consider this case:
Short-term loans usually have a lower cost than long-term loans. Identify whether the preceding statement is true or false.
a. This statement is false and a disadvantage of short-term financing.
b. This statement is true and an advantage of short-term financing.
Firms use a variety of short-term financing sources to support working capital. Use the descriptions in the following table to identify the short-term financing source.
Description Short-Term Financing Source
A formal, committed line of credit extended by a bank or other lending institution.
An obligation backed by collateral, often inventories or accounts receivable.
Answer:
1. Consider this case:
Short-term loans usually have a lower cost than long-term loans. Identify whether the preceding statement is true or false.
a. This statement is false and a disadvantage of short-term financing.
2. Identify the short-term financing source:
An obligation backed by collateral, often inventories or accounts receivable.
Explanation:
Some organizations regularly require short-term financing to ease uneven cash flows. It is also called working capital financing. Its duration is less than 12 months, unlike long-term financing that can last more than two years. Most of this financing is arranged with banks in the form of bank overdraft.
Sutton Pointers Corporation expects to begin operations on January 1, 2015; it will operate as a specialty sales company that sells laser pointers over the Internet. Sutton expects sales in January 2015 to total $300,000 and to increase 15 percent per month in February and March. All sales are on account. Sutton expects to collect 66 percent of accounts receivable in the month of sale, 23 percent in the month following the sale, and 11 percent in the second month following the sale.
Required:
a. Prepare a sales budget for the first quarter of 2015.
b. Determine the amount of sales revenue Sutton will report on the first 2015 quarterly pro forma income statement.
c. Prepare a cash receipts schedule for the first quarter of 2015. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)
d. Determine the amount of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2015. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)
Answer:
a. January= $300,000, February = $345,000 and March = $396,750
b. $1,041,750
c. January= $198,000, February = $296,700 and March = $374,205
d. $22,545
Explanation:
Sales Budget [to determine sales revenue]
January = $300,000
February ($300,000 × 1.15) = $345,000
March ($300,000 × 1.15^2) = $396,750
Revenue for the quarter = $1,041,750
Cash Receipts Schedule [to determine receipts and receivables balance]
January February March
Sales $300,000 $345,000 $396,750
Receipt - 66% ($198,000) ($227,700) ($261,855)
Receipt - 23 % - ($69,000) ($79,350)
Receipt - 11 % - - ($33,000)
Total Receipts ($198,000) ($296,700) ($374,205)
Account Receivable $102,000 $48,300 $22,545
Identify which control activity is violated in each of the following situations, and explain how the situation creates an opportunity for fraud or inappropriate accounting practices.
1. Once a month, the sales department sends sales invoices to the accounting department to be recorded.
2. Leah Hutcherson orders merchandise for Rice Lake Company; she also receives merchandise and authorizes payment for merchandise.
3. Several clerks at Great Foods use the same cash register drawer
Answer:
1. Once a month, the sales department sends sales invoices to the accounting department to be recorded.
⇒ documentation procedures
Unless all of the company's sales take place only once a month, sales should be recorded as soon as possible. Accounting records must be as precise and accurate as possible, and they must be processed on time. Stacking invoices makes no sense, since sales might be on cash or the collection period might be very short. Who holds the money until the sales records are made?
2. Leah Hutcherson orders merchandise for Rice Lake Company; she also receives merchandise and authorizes payment for merchandise.
⇒ segregation of duties
One single person cannot be responsible for the whole process, since this creates a huge opportunity for fraud. Imagine if the person in charge of the inventory is also in charge of making new purchases, paying for them and reporting ending inventory. No company would be able survive one year, while the person in charge would get rich.
3. Several clerks at Great Foods use the same cash register drawer
⇒ establishment of responsibility
If everyone is allowed to collect money, no one can be responsible for any loss.
when the business cycle or economic activity is declining the economy is said to be what
Answer:
Contraction
Explanation:
Contraction is when the level of economic activities in a country goes down. There is decreased productivity in the country, as indicated by a decline in the GDP value. At contraction, the economy will experience a drop in real incomes, retail sales, and industrial production. The unemployment rate begins to rise steadily as companies stop hiring while other lay-off workers due to reduced demand.
Cooperative San José of southern Sonora state in Mexico makes a unique syrup using cane sugar and local herbs. The syrup is sold in small bottles and is prized as a flavoring for drinks and for use in desserts. The bottles are sold for $12 each. The first stage in the production process is carried out in the Mixing Department, which removes foreign matter from the raw materials and mixes them in the proper proportions in large vats. The company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system.
A hastily prepared report for the Mixing Department for April appears below:
Units to be accounted for:
Work in process, April 1 (materials 90% complete; conversion 80% complete) 5,700
Started into production 34,100
Total units to be accounted for 39,800
Units accounted for as follows:
Transferred to next department 29,400
Work in process, April 30 (materials 70% complete; conversion 50% complete) 10,400
Total units accounted for 39,800
Cost Reconciliation Cost to be accounted for:
Work in process, April 1 $15,276
Cost added during the month 96,248
Total cost to be accounted for $111,524
Cost accounted for as follows:
Work in process, April 30 $20,384
Transferred to next department 91,140
Total cost accounted for $111,524
Required:
a. What were the Mixing Department's equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for April?
b. What were the Mixing Department's cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for April? The beginning inventory consisted of the following costs: materials, $10,545; and conversion cost, $4,731. The costs added during the month consisted of: materials, $64,649; and conversion cost, $31,599.
c. How many of the units transferred out of the Mixing Department in April were started and completed during that month?
d. The manager of the Mixing Department stated, "Materials prices jumped from about $1.65 per unit in March to $2.15 per unit in April, but due to good cost control I was able to hold our materials cost to less than $2.15 per unit for the month." Should this manager be rewarded for good cost control?
Answer:
a. EU:
materials = 29,400 + 7,280 = 36,680
conversion = 29,400 + 5,200 = 34,600
b. cost per EU:
materials = $75,194 / 36,680 = $2.05
conversion = $36,330 / 34,600 = $1.05
c. units started and completed during April = 23,700
d. no, he didn't do anything, When a company uses the weighted average process costing method, the cost of beginning WIP is used to determine the cost per equivalent unit. On the other hand, FIFO process costing method doesn't, it only considers costs incurred during the month to calculate cost per equivalent unit.
Explanation:
beginning WIP 5,700 $15,276
materials, $10,545
conversion cost, $4,731
units started 34,100
costs added during the month = $96,248
materials, $64,649
conversion cost, $31,599
units transferred out 29,400 $91,140
ending WIP 10,400 $20,384
materials 70% = 7,280 EU
conversion 50% = 5,200 EU
EU:
materials = 29,400 + 7,280 = 36,680
conversion = 29,400 + 5,200 = 34,600
total cost for materials = $64,649 + $10,545 = $75,194
total cost for conversion = $31,599 + $4,731 = $36,330
cost per EU:
materials = $75,194 / 36,680 = $2.05
conversion = $36,330 / 34,600 = $1.05
units started and completed during April = 29,400 - 5,700 = 23,700
Sanborn Industries has the following overhead costs and cost drivers. Direct labor hours are estimated at 100,000 for the year.
Activity Cost Pool Cost Driver Est. Overhead Cost Driver Activity
Ordering and Receiving Orders $120,000 500 orders
Machine Setup Setups 297,000 450 setups
Machining Machine hours 1,500,000 125,000 MH
Assembly Parts 1,200,000 1,000,000 parts
Inspection Inspections 300,000 500 inspections
If overhead is applied using traditional-based costing on direct labor hours, the overhead application rate is:___________.
a) 9.60
b) 12.00
c) 15.00
d) 34.17
Answer:
d) 34.17
Explanation:
we must first calculate the total overhead expenses = $120,000 (ordering and receiving) + $297,000 (machine setup) + $1,500,000 (machining) + $1,200,000 (assembly parts) + $300,000 (inspection) = $3,417,000
since overhead is applied based on direct labor hours, then the predetermined overhead rate = total overhead expenses / total direct labor hours = $3,417,000 / 100,000 labor hours = $34.17 per labor hour

Your classmates from the University of Chicago are planning to go to Miami for spring break, and you are undecided about whether you should go with them. The round-trip airfare is $600, but you have a frequent-flyer coupon worth $500 that you could use to pay part of the airfare. All other costs for the vacation are exactly $900. The most you would be willing to pay for the trip is $1,400. Your only alternative use for your frequent-flyer coupon is for your trip to Atlanta two weeks after the break to attend your sister's graduation, which your parents are forcing you to attend. The Chicago-Atlanta round-trip airfare is $450. If the Chicago-Atlanta round-trip air fare were $350, should you use the coupon to go to Miami?
Answer:
You should use the discount coupon to pay for the Chicago-Miami trip. Not considering the personal motivations for the trip, the coupon is worth $500. The cost of flying is $600, so you will only pay $100 yourself. You will be spending $900 + $1000 = $1,000 in total.
The opportunity cost of using the coupon is $350 (the cost of the round trip to Atlanta). Even if you add the $350 to the $1,000 expense, the total is $1,350, less than your $1,400 maximum budget.

At a local business school, there is a toasted submarine sandwich process that uses a conveyor-fed oven. ( See picture below) Alice is the sole operator of the sub making process. In the first step of the process, she spends 2 minutes putting various ingredients in the sub. Then, she puts the sub on a conveyor belt and, over a period of 12 minutes, the conveyor moves the sub from the beginning of the oven to the end of the oven, fully toasting it. After the sub comes out of the oven, Alice spends 1 minute slicing the sandwich and putting it in a box. At most, 5 subs can fit in the oven at once. The toasting time in the oven does not depend on the number of subs in the oven.
Required:
a. Draw a process-flow chart for the sandwich-making process.
b. Calculate the hourly capacity of this sandwich-making process.
c. Suppose another employee is hired to do the slicing and boxing, and Zeynep now only loads the sandwiches with the right ingredients. What is the hourly capacity of this process with the additional employee?
Answer:
b. 20 sandwiches
c. 25 sandwiches
Explanation:
1. I added this diagram of the flow chart as an attachment
2.
Hourly capacity of sandwich making process:
Time it makes to 1 sandwich: 2 + 12 + 1 = 15
The time alice spends when making one sandwich = 2 + 1 = 3
oven uses 12 minutes to process one sandwich, so in 12 minutes, alice can can make 12/3 sandwiches = 4
The Oven can take 5 subs at a time,
So in one hour, the making process
= 60/3 = 20 sandwiches
3.
To calculate Hourly capacity with additional employee:
Alice takes 2 minutes
Additional employees takes 1 minute
Oven uses 12 minutes to make one sandwich
It's only after every 2 minutes Alice can put one sandwich. The oven can take only 5 sandwiches.
So in an hour:
Since oven can take 5
Sandwiches at a time, therefore one sandwich takes,
12 / 5 = 2.4 minutes.
In 1 hour number we have number of processed sandwich as
60 / 2.4 = 25
At hourly capacity with additional employees we have 25 sandwiches

Complete question Text:
Environmental recovery company RexChem Partners plans to finance a site reclamation project that will require a 4-year cleanup period. The company will borrow $1.8 million now to finance the project. How much will the company have to receive in annual payments for 4 years, provided it will also receive a final lump sum payment after 4 years in the amount of $800,000? The MARR is 10% per year on its investment
Answer:
We are going to receive annual payment of $395,471
Explanation:
We solve for the present value of the lump-sum today:
PRESENT VALUE OF LUMP SUM
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 800,000.00
time 4.00
rate 0.1
[tex]\frac{800000}{(1 + 0.1)^{4} } = PV[/tex]
PV 546,410.76
Now, we deduct this fromthe 1,800,000 loan:
1,800,000 - 546,410.76 = 1,253,589.24
this value will be the amount the yearly installment will ghave to pay.
Installment of a present annuity
[tex]PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\[/tex]
PV 1,253,589.24 €

Yesterday, Casey received a cable company ad for bundled TV, telephone, and Internet service that cost appreciably more than what she is currently paying. At the same time, she received a notice from her utility company that summer rates would be increasing. Her schoolbooks are costing almost twice what they cost last year, and yesterday, gasoline cost her 30 cents more per gallon than it did last week. As she ponders the situation, she can't help but wonder how prices could be rising when so many people have lost their jobs and are cutting back on expenditures. She is certain that this situation characterizes her economics professor's description of stagflation.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
It is true that her situation characterizes what her economics professor's mentioned on stagflation.
She experienced high internet cost more than she is paying, she was also notified on an increase in the utility summer rates, increase in the cost of her schoolbooks, and gasoline all point to what stagflation is.
Stagflation is detected when a nation experiences slow economic growth obvious with an increase in the cost of goods, which means a reduction in purchasing power as Casey experienced. When companies want to still be running their business, they will increase the cost of their services as there are fewer goods available and the currency weakened.
A retrofitted space-heating system is being considered for a small office building. The system can be purchased and installed for $125,000, and it will save an estimated 250,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electric power each year over a five-year period. A kilowatt-hour of electricity costs $0.09, and the company uses a MARR of 15% per year in its economic evaluations of refurbished systems. The market value of the system will be $7,000 at the end of five years, and additional annual operating and maintenance expenses are negligible.
Required:
Use the benefit-cost method to make a recommendation.
Answer:
Retrofitted Space-Heating System
Benefit-Cost Ratio = $75,420/$121,521
= 0.6206
= 0.62
Benefit is less than 1. Therefore, project will not deliver positive NPV.
Recommendation:
It is better and cheaper to incur electricity costs than to purchase the retrofitted space-heating system. The retrofitting benefit does not justify the cost of the project.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Purchase cost of system = $125,000
Salvage value (PV of $7,000 in five years) = $3,479
Total cost of project = $121,521 ($125,000 - 3,479)
Benefit of Project = Savings in 250,000 kWh annually
Cost of a kilowatt-hour = $0.09
Total annual cost of electricity = $22,500 (250,000 * $0.09)
Annuity Factor for 5 years = 3.352
Present value of annuity of $22,500 = $75,420 ($22,500 * 3.352)
Benefit-Cost = $75,420/$121,521
= 0.6206
= 0.62
The text presents five signs of organizational culture: mission statement, stories & language, physical layout, rules & policies, and rituals. Select an organization where you have worked or are familiar with and identify an example of each sign of organizational culture.

rules & policies: The employees are required to act honestly, lawfully, ethically and in favor of the company they represent.
rituals: Face book looks for innovation and breaking the status quo, and to do so Face book employees are invited to paint, create and decore their offices and public spaces with own made art.
Explanation:
Organizational culture is what we call the mix of core values and actions that make up an organization, it's mostly and widely used for companies but it also applies to schools, governments, non-profits, and any group of people working together towards a goal.
The mission statement is basically what the organization wants to achieve, or its dreamed goal.
Stories and language are the speech that the organization communicates to the audience or anyone interacting with it.
The physical layouts are the colors and buildings, apps, or any way of direct interaction that any person could have with the organization.
Rules and policies are what dictate the behavior of all the employees and people related to the organization.
And rituals are the activities that the organization does in order to reinforce the values and policies they try to live day by day, doing your own painting is one example of these rituals.

On December 31, 2021, the end of the fiscal year, California Microtech Corporation completed the sale of its semiconductor business for $15 million. The semiconductor business segment qualifies as a component of the entity according to GAAP. The book value of the assets of the segment was $13 million. The loss from operations of the segment during 2021 was $4.8 million. Pretax income from continuing operations for the year totaled $7.8 million. The income tax rate is 25%.
Prepare the lower portion of the 2021 income statement beginning with income from continuing operations before income taxes. Ignore EPS disclosures. (Amounts to be deducted and negative amounts should be indicated with a minus sign. Enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions.)
Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of the lower portion is presented below:
Income from the continuing operation
before income tax $7,800,000
Less: Income tax expenses ($7,800,000 × 25%) (1,950,000)
Income from continuing operation(A) 5,850,000
Discontinued operation:
Loss from operation discontinued components
($15 - $13 - $4.8) ($2,800,000)
Income tax benefits ($2,800,000 × 25%) $700,000
Loss on discontinued operation(B) ($21,000,000)
Net loss (A - B) -$15,150,000
Sara’s Salsa Company produces its condiments in two types: Extra Fine for restaurant customers and Family Style for home use. Salsa is prepared in department 1 and packaged in department 2. The activities, overhead costs, and drivers associated with these two manufacturing processes and the company’s production support activities follow.
Process Activity Overhead cost Driver Quantity
Department 1 Mixing $4,500 Machine hours 1,500
Cooking 11,250 Machine hours 1,500
Product testing 112,500 Batches 600
$128,250
Department 2 Machine calibration $250,000 Production runs 400
Labeling 12,000 Cases of output 120,000
Defects 6,000 Cases of output 120,000
$268,000
Support Recipe formulation $90,000 Focus groups 45
Heat, lights, and water 27,000 Machine hours 1,500
Materials handling 65,000 Container types 8
$182,000
Additional production information about its two product lines follows.
Extra Fine Family Style
Units produced 20,000 cases 100,000 cases
Batches 200 batches 400 batches
Machine hours 500 MH 1,000 MH
Focus groups 30 groups 15 groups
Container types 5 containers 3 containers
Production runs 200 runs 200 runs
Required:
Using ABC, compute the total cost per case for each product type if the direct labor and direct materials cost is $6 per case of Extra Fine and $5 per case of Family Style.
Answer:
Extra Fine= $26
Family Style= $12.98
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rate for each department and support:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Department 1:
Mixing= 4,500/1,500= $3 per machine hour
Cooking= 11,250/1,500= $7.5 per machine hour
Product testing= 112,500/600= $187.5 per batch
Department 2:
Machine calibration= 250,000/400= $625 per production run
Labeling= 12,000/120,000= $0.1 per cases of output
Defects= 6,000/120,000= $0.05 per cases of output
Support:
Recipe formulation= 90,000/45= $2,000 per focus group
Heat, lights, and water= 27,000/1,500= $18 per machine hour
Materials handling= 65,000/8= $8,125 per container types
Now, we can allocate overhead to each product:
Extra Fine:
Department 1:
Mixing= 3*500= $1,500
Cooking= 7.5*500= $3,750
Product testing= 187.5*200= $37,500
Department 2:
Machine calibration= 625*200= 125,000
Labeling= 0.1*20,000= 2,000
Defects= 0.05*20,000= 1,000
Support:
Recipe formulation= 2,000*30= 60,000
Heat, lights, and water= 18*500= 9,000
Materials handling= 8,125*5= 40,625
Total allocated overhead= $280,375
Unitary cost= 280,375/20,000= $14
Family Style:
Department 1:
Mixing= 3*1,000= $3,000
Cooking= 7.5*1,000= $7,500
Product testing= 187.5*400= $75,000
Department 2:
Machine calibration= 625*200= 125,000
Labeling= 0.1*100,000= 10,000
Defects= 0.05*20,000= 5,000
Support:
Recipe formulation= 2,000*15= 30,000
Heat, lights, and water= 18*1,000= 18,000
Materials handling= 8,125*3= 24,375
Total allocated overhead= $297,875
Unitary cost= 297,875/100,000= $2.98
Finally, the total unitary cost:
Extra Fine= 6 + 6 + 14= $26
Family Style= 5 + 5 + 2.98= $12.98
Last month Empire Company had a $35,280 profit on sales of $287,000. Fixed costs are $68,040 a month. By how much would sales be able to decrease for Empire to still break even
Answer:
sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even
Explanation:
gross profit = net income + fixed costs = $35,280 + $68,040 = $103,320
COGS = total sales - gross profit = $287,000 - $103,320 = $183,680
contribution margin ratio = $103,320 / $287,000 = 36%
break even point in $ = $68,040 / 36% = $189,000
sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even

question text WITH missing information:
After examining the various personal loan rates available to you, you find that you can borrow funds from a finance company at an APR of 12 percent compounded monthly or from a bank at an APR of 13 percent compounded annually. Which alternative is more attractive?
If you borrow $100 from a finance company at an APR of 9% percent compounded for year, how much do you need to payoff the loan?
Answer:
The finance company option is better as we are taking the loan we want the lower rate possible.
We need $109 to payoff the loan of $100 at 9% annualy after a whole year.
Explanation:
We solve for the effective rate of 12% compounded monthly
[tex](1+\frac{0.12}{12} )^{12}[/tex] = 1.12682503 = 0.126825 = 12.6825%
As this rate is lower than 13% this option is better
If we take 100 dollars after a year we have to pay:
$100 x (1 + r) = 100 x (1 + 0.09) = 100 x 1.09 = $109
