Answer:
1. Total transformers held by power companies = 532
2. The total units of transformers that OEM needs to hold in the FedEx warehouse = 38
3. The inventory of transformers will go down by 494.
4. The percentage of the decrease = 93%.
Explanation:
Power companies signed up on the rapid replenishment program = 14
Average number of transformers held in safety stock by each power company = 38
Total number of transformers in safety stock = 532 (14 * 38)
Number of transformers needed in the FedEx warehouse = 38
Inventory will go down by 494 (532 - 38)
Percentage of inventory decrease = 93% (494/532 * 100)

One of two methods must be used to produce expansion anchors. Method A costs $80,000 initially and will have a $15,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $30,000 per year. Method B will have a first cost of $120,000, an operating cost of $8,000 per year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. At an interest rate of 8% per year, the present worth of Method B is closest to:
Answer:
At an interest rate of 8% per year, the present worth of Method B is closest to:
= $108,856.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Method A Method B
Initial investment $80,000 $120,000
Salvage value 15,000 40,000
Period of investment 3 years 3 years
Annual operating costs $30,000 $8,000
Interest rate per year 8% 8%
Present value annuity factor = 2.577
Discounted present value factor = 0.794
Present worth:
Method B Method A
Initial investment cost ($120,000 * 1) $120,000 $80,000
Operating costs = ($8,000 * 2.577) = 20,616 77,310
Salvage value = $40,000 * 0.794 = (31,760) (11,910)
Present worth = $108,856 $145,400
b) Using the present worth analysis technique, Method B should be used to produce the expansion anchors, as it costs less than Method A. The present worth analysis method is an equivalence method of discounting a project's cash flows to a single present value. With this analysis, it becomes easier to determine the project that should be accepted or rejected based on their economic realities.
On December 31, Year 3, Alpha Company had an ending balance of $200,000 in its accounts receivable account and an unadjusted (current) balance in its allowance for doubtful accounts account of $300. Alpha estimates uncollectible accounts expense to be 1% of receivables. Based on this information, the amount of uncollectible accounts expense shown on the Year 3 income statement is:______.
a. $2.300.
b. $2200.
c. $1700.
d. $2.000.
Answer:
c. $1700.
Explanation:
The computation of the uncollectible account expense is shown below:
= Account receivable × estimated percentage - unadjusted balance
= $200,000 ×1% - $300
= $2,000 - $300
= $1,700
hence the uncollectible account expense is $1,700
Hence, the correct option is c.

Explanation:
Using the supply and demand analysis of the market for reserves, indicate what happens to the federal funds rate, borrowed reserves, and nonborrowed reserves, holding everything else constant, under the following situations. a. The economy is surprisingly strong, leading to an increase in the amount of checkable deposits. b. Banks expect an unusually large increase in with-drawals from checking deposit accounts in the future. c. The Fed raises the target federal funds rate. d. The Fed raises the interest rate on reserves above the current equilibrium federal funds rate. e. The Fed reduces reserve requirements. f. The Fed reduces reserve requirements and then off-sets this action by conducting an open market sale of securities.
Answer:
The federal fund rate will increase, non borrowed reserves will decrease and no change in borrowed reserves.
Explanation:
Federal fund rate is an interest rate which banks pay off each night on depository funds. This rate can be above the discount rate because banks prefer to pay higher market rate than to borrow from Fed. When the fed raises target federal fund than federal fund rate will increase causing a decline in no borrowed reserves.
Watmore Ltd. purchased, for cash, factory equipment with an invoice price of $80,000. Other costs incurred were freight costs, $1,600; installation, wiring and foundation, $13,500; material and labour costs in testing equipment, $500; oil lubricants and supplies to be used while operating the equipment, $750; fire insurance policy covering equipment, $1,400. The equipment is estimated to have a $10,000 residual value at the end of its 8-year useful service life.
Instructions
(a) Calculate the cost of the equipment.
(b) Record the purchase of the equipment.
(c) Calculate the annual depreciation expense, assuming the straight-line method of depreciation is used.
Answer:
a. The cost of the equipment = Invoice price + Freight cost + Installation wiring and foundation cost + Material and labor cost in testing equipment
The cost of the equipment = $80000 + $1600 + $13500 + $500
The cost of the equipment = $95,600
b. Journal Entry to record the purchase of the equipment
Equipment $95,600 - Debit
To Cash $95,600 - Credit
c. Annual depreciation expense =(Cost of equipment - Salvage value) / Useful life
Annual depreciation expense = ($95,600 - $10,000) / 8
Annual depreciation expense = $85,600 / 8
Annual depreciation expense = $10,700

Answer:
$1,465,520
Explanation:
Calculation of cost of the land that should be recorded by Water ways industries
Cost of land = Purchase price + demolition of building - sales of salvage + legal fees + Title insurance cost + Payment assessment
Cost of land = $1,335,000 + $120,000 - $8,300 + $5,220 + $3,900 + $9,700
Cost of land = $1,465,520

Clampett, Incorporated, has been an S corporation since its inception. On July 15, 2021, Clampett, Incorporated, distributed $42,500 to J.D. His basis in his Clampett, Incorporated, stock on January 1, 2021, was $36,000. For 2021, J.D. was allocated $11,800 of ordinary income from Clampett, Incorporated, and no separately stated items. How much capital gain does J.D. recognize related to Clampett, Incorporated, in 2021
Answer:
See bellw
Explanation:
Income of J.D related to Clampett = Ordinary income + Capital gain
Given that
Basis distribution = $42,500
Basis stock = $36,000
Ordinary = $11,800
But Capital gain = Basis distribution - (Basis stock + Ordinary income
= $42,500 - ($36,000 + $11,800)
= $42,500 - $47,800
= - $5,300
Therefore, J.D income related to Clampett
= Ordinary income + Capital gain
= $11,800 - $5,300
= $6,500

Suppose the working age population of a fictional economy, Jessica Town, falls into the following categories: 100 are retired homemakers; 50 have full-time employment; 15 have part-time employment; 28 do not have employment but are actively looking for employment; and 16 would like employment but do not have employment and are not actively looking for employment. The official unemployment rate as calculated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor would equal:_________
Answer: 30.1%
Explanation:
The unemployment rate includes those who do not have employment but are actively looking for employment not those who do not have a job and are not looking.
The rate is also based on the Labor force which is the portion of the population that is able and willing to work. Retirees are not included in this measure. Those who are not looking are not willing.
Labor Force = 50 full-time + 15 part-time + 28 unemployed
= 93 people
Unemployment rate:
= 28 / 93 * 100
= 30.1%

Commissions 10 % of sales dollars Rent $ 17,000 per month Advertising 11 % of sales dollars Office salaries $ 74,000 per month Depreciation $ 55,000 per month Interest 13 % annually on a $210,000 note payable Tax rate 40 % Prepare a budgeted income statement for this first quarter. (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Fortune, Inc.
Budgeted Income Statement for the first quarter ended March 31
Sales revenue $3,750,000
Cost of goods sold 1,800,000
Gross profit $1,950,000
Expenses:
Commission 375,000
Advertising 412,500
Office salaries 222,000
Depreciation 165,000
Interest expense 10,075
Total expenses $1,184,575
Net income $765,425
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per unit = $25
Forecast sales units:
January 40,000
February 60,000
March 50,000
Total sales for the quarter = 150,000 units
Sales revenue = $3,750,000 (150,000 * $25)
Cost of goods sold = $12 per unit
Cost of goods sold = $1,800,000 (150,000 * $12)
Commission = 10% of sales dollars
Commission = $375,000 ($3,750,000 * 10%)
Rent = $17,000 per month (Total for quarter = $51,000)
Advertising = 11% of sales dollars
Advertising = $412,500 ($3,750,000 * 11%)
Office salaries = $74,000 per month (Total for quarter = $222,000)
Depreciation = $55,000 per month (Total for quarter = $165,000
Interest expense = 13% of $310,000 annually
Interest expense for the quarter = $10,075 ($310,000 * 13% * 1/4)
Short Company purchased land by paying $11,000 cash on the purchase date and agreed to pay $11,000 for each of the next six years beginning one-year from the purchase date. Short's incremental borrowing rate is 7%. On the balance sheet as of the purchase date, after the initial $11,000 payment was made, the liability reported is closest to: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Answer: $52,431.50
Explanation:
The liability reported will be the present value of the six payments of $11,000.
Since this is a constant amount, it will be an annuity:
= 11,000 * Present value interest factor of an annuity, 6 years, 7%
= 11,000 * 4.7665
= $52,431.50
Any difference between this and any options given is down to rounding errors. Pick the closest figure.

Suppose it is announced that industry analysts are predicting that decreased oil supplies from one of the exporter countries will cause gasoline prices to rise, beginning next month. In the current week, the announcement would: Shift the supply of gasoline right Shift the demand for gasoline right Shift the demand for gasoline left no effect on the demand or supply of gasoline
Answer: Shift the demand for gasoline right
Explanation:
If it is announced that there'll be an increase in the prices of gasoline starting from the following month, this will bring about a situation whereby people will start rushing to buy gasoline before the following month when there will be an increase in its price.
In such case, there'll be a shift in the demand for gasoline to the right as there'll be an increase in the demand for gasoline.

The following information describes production activities of Mercer Manufacturing for the year.
Actual direct materials used 31,000 1bs. at $5.80 per lb
Actual direct labor used 10,600 hours for a total of $217,300
Actual units produced . 63,000
Budgeted standards for each unit produced are 0.50 pounds of direct material at $5.75 per pound and 10 minutes $21.50 per hour.
AQ = Actual Quantity
SQ=Standard Quantity
AP =Actual Price
SP =Standard Price
AH =Actual Hours
SH= Standard Hours
AR= Actual Rate
SR= Standard Rate
(1) Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances
(2) Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency varian rect labor rate and efficiency variances.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (5.75 - 5.8)*31,000
Direct material price variance= $1,550 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (63,000*0.5 - 31,000)*5.75
Direct material quantity variance= $2,875 favorable
To calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (10,500 - 10,600)*21.5
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $2,150 unfavorable
Standard quantity= (10/60)*63,000= 10,500 hours
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (21.5 - 20.5)*10,600
Direct labor rate variance= $10,600 favorable
Actual rate= 217,300 / 10,600= $20.5

Pewabic plans to sell 900 boxes of art tile in April, and estimates they'll craft 870 boxes during the month. Each box of tile requires 44 pounds of clay and a quarter hour of direct labor. Clay costs $0.40 per pound and pottery artisans are paid $12.00 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Pewabic has 3,900 pounds of clay in beginning inventory on April 1 and wants to have 4,500 pounds in ending inventory on April 30. What total amount should Pewabic budget for direct labor for the of April
Answer:
Direct labour cost budget= $2,610
Explanation:
The direct labor cost budget is a function of the production product budget. The quantity of the product budgeted to be produced would determine the labor cost budget.
Direct labour budget = Production budget × standard hours × standard labour rate per hour
Standard hour = a quarter direct labour = 1/4 hour
Direct labour budget = 870 × 0.1× $12= $2610
Direct labour cost budget= $2,610

The following are budgeted data: January February March Sales in units 16,900 23,800 19,900 Production in units 19,900 20,900 20,000 One pound of material is required for each finished unit. The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 25% of the following month's production needs. Purchases of raw materials for February would be budgeted to be:
Answer:
Purchases= 20,675 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production:
Feb= 20,900
Mar= 20,000
One pound of material is required for each finished unit.
Desired ending inventory= 25% of the following month's production needs.
To calculate the purchase required for February, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 20,900 + (20,000*0.25) - (20,900*0.25)
Purchases= 20,675

The monthly rent will be $1 a square foot. Mary estimates that if she has F square feet of floor space and sells y bouquets a month, her variable costs will be cv(y) = y^ 3/ 4F per month.
Required:
a. If she has 200 square feet of floor space, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function. At what amount of output is average cost minimized? At this level of output, how much is average cost?
b. If she has 500 square feet, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function. At what amount of output is average cost minimized? At this level of output, how much is average cost? .
c. If she has 1,000 square feet of floor space, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function. At what amount of output is average cost minimized? At this level of output, how much is average cost?
Answer:
a-1. We have:
MC = 3y^2 / 800 <=== Marginal cost (MC) function
AC = (200 / y) + (y^2 / 800) <=== Average cost (AC) function
a-2. The amount of output is 43.09 bouquets.
a-3. Average cost at this level is $6.96 per unit.
b-1. We have:
MC = 3y^2 / 2,000 <=== Marginal cost (MC) function
AC = (500 / y) + (y^2 / 2,000) <=== Average cost (AC) function
b-2. The amount of output is 79.37 bouquets.
b-3. Average cost at this level is $9.45 per unit.
c-1. We have:
MC = 3y^2 / 4,000 <=== Marginal cost (MC) function
AC = (1,000 / y) + (y^2 / 4,000) <=== Average cost (AC) function
c-2. The amount of output is 125.99 bouquets.
c-3. Average cost at this level is $11.91 per unit.
Explanation:
Given:
cv(y) = y^3/ 4F ………………… (1)
cf = fixed cost = F
Therefore, total cost (C) per month is as follows:
C(y) = cf + cv(y) = y^ 3/ 4F
C(y) = F + y^3 / 4F ……………………… (2)
a-1. If she has 200 square feet of floor space, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function.
This implies that:
F = 200
Marginal cost (MC) function is obtained by taking the first derivative of equation (1) and substituting F = 200 as follows:
MC = cv’(y)
MC = 3y^2 / (4 * 200)
MC = 3y^2 / 800 ………………. (3) <= Marginal cost (MC) function
Average cost (AC) function can be obtained by dividing equation (2) by y, substituting F = 200 and solve as follows:
AC = C’(y) = (200 / y) + (y^3 / 4F) / y
AC = (200 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 200)) / y
AC = (200 / y) + (y^2 / 800) …………………. (4) <= Average cost (AC) function
a-2. At what amount of output is average cost minimized?
Since average cost is minimized when MC = AC, we therefore equate equations (3) and (4) and solve for y as follows:
3y^2 / 800 = (200 / y) + (y^2 / 800)
0.00375y^2 = (200 / y) + 0.00125y^2
0.00375y^2 - 0.00125y^2 = 200 / y
0.0025y^2 = 200 / y
(0.0025y^2)y = 200
0.0025y^3 = 200
y^3 = 200 / 0.0025
y^3 = 80,000
y = 80,000^(1/3)
y = 43.09
Therefore, the amount of output at which is average cost minimized is 43.09 bouquets.
a-3. At this level of output, how much is average cost?
Substituting y = 43.09 into equation (4), we have:
AC = (200 / 43.09) + (43.09^2 / 800)
AC = 6.96
Therefore, average cost at this level is $6.96 per unit.
b-1. If she has 500 square feet, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function.
This implies that:
F = 500
Marginal cost (MC) function is obtained by taking the first derivative of equation (1) and substituting F = 500 as follows:
MC = cv’(y)
MC = 3y^2 / (4 * 500)
MC = 3y^2 / 2,000 ………………. (5) <= Marginal cost (MC) function
Average cost (AC) function can be obtained by dividing equation (2) by y, substituting F = 500 and solve as follows:
AC = C’(y) = (500 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 500)) / y
AC = (500 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 500)) / y
AC = (500 / y) + (y^2 / 2,000) …………………. (6) <= Average cost (AC) function
b-2. At what amount of output is average cost minimized?
Since average cost is minimized when MC = AC, we therefore equate equations (5) and (6) and solve for y as follows:
3y^2 / 2,000 = (500 / y) + (y^2 / 2,000)
0.0015y^2 = (500 / y) + 0.0005y^2
0.0015y^2 - 0.0005y^2 = 500 / y
0.001y^2 = 500y
0.001y^2 * y = 500
0.001y^3 = 500
y^3 = 500 / 0.001
y^3 = 500,000
y = 500,000^(1/3)
y = 79.37
Therefore, the amount of output at which is average cost minimized is 79.37 bouquets.
b-3. At this level of output, how much is average cost?
Substituting y = 79.37 into equation (6), we have:
AC = (500 / 79.37) + (79.37^2 / 2,000)
AC = 9.45
Therefore, average cost at this level is $9.45 per unit.
c-1. If she has 1,000 square feet, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function.
This implies that:
F = 1,000
Marginal cost (MC) function is obtained by taking the first derivative of equation (1) and substituting F = 1,000 as follows:
MC = cv’(y)
MC = 3y^2 / (4 * 1,000)
MC = 3y^2 / 4,000 ………………. (7) <= Marginal cost (MC) function
Average cost (AC) function can be obtained by dividing equation (2) by y, substituting F = 1,000 and solve as follows:
AC = C’(y) = (1,000 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 1,000)) / y
AC = (1,000 / y) + (y^3 / (4,000)) / y
AC = (1,000 / y) + (y^2 / 4,000) …………………. (8) <= Average cost (AC) function
c-2. At what amount of output is average cost minimized?
Since average cost is minimized when MC = AC, we therefore equate equations (7) and (8) and solve for y as follows:
3y^2 / 4,000 = (1,000 / y) + (y^2 / 4,000)
0.00075y^2 = (1,000 / y) + 0.00025y^2
0.00075y^2 - 0.00025y^2 = 1,000 / y
0.0005y^2 = 1,000 / y
0.0005y^2 * y = 1,000
y^3 = 1,000 / 0.0005
y^3 = 2,000,000
y = 2,000,000^(1/3)
y = 125.99
Therefore, the amount of output at which is average cost minimized is 125.99 bouquets.
c-3. At this level of output, how much is average cost?
Substituting y = 125.99 into equation (8), we have:
AC = (1,000 / 125.99) + (125.99^2 / 4,000)
AC = 11.91
Therefore, average cost at this level is $11.91 per unit.

Neville is a lawyer at a large law firm where he earns a salary of $170,000 per year. He is thinking of leaving the firm to set up his own law office. To do this, he would need to invest $140,000 of his savings, which currently earns 5% in interest each year. He estimates that if he starts a law office, his annual revenue will be $510,000, and his explicit financial costs will be $300,000. How much would Neville earn in economic profits or losses if he starts his own law office
Answer:
$33,000
Explanation:
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Accounting profit = $510,000 - $300,000 = $210,000
Implicit costs = amount he would forgo as salary in the large law firm and interest he would lose on his investment
Interest he would lose on his investment = 0.05 x 140,000 = $7000
Implicit cost = $170,000 + $7000 = $177,000
Economic profit = $210,000 - $177,000 = $33,000
