Fremont Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $40 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 25% of direct labor cost. The unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
Direct materials $16
Direct labor 20
Factory overhead (25% of direct labor) 5
Total cost per unit $41
If Fremont Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 5% of the direct labor costs.

A foundry is developing a long-range strategic plan for buying scrap metal for its operations. The foundrycan buy scrap metal in unlimited quantity from two sources: Atlanta and Birmingham, and it receives thescrap daily by railroad cars.The scrap is melted down, and lead and copper are extracted. Each railroad car from Atlanta yields 1 ton ofcopper and 1 ton of lead, and costs $10,000. Each railroad car from Birmingham yields 1 ton of copper and2 tons of lead, and costs $15,000. The foundry needs at least 4 tons of lead and at least 2.5 tons of copperper day for the foreseeable future.1. In order to minimize the long-range scrap metal cost, how many raiload cars of scrap should bepurchased per day from each source
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Let x represent the number of railroad cars of scrap purchased per day from Atlanta and let y represent the number of railroad cars of scrap purchased per day from Birmingham.
Since Atlanta yields 1 ton of copper and 1 ton of lead while Birmingham yields 1 ton of copper and 2 tons of lead.
The foundry needs at least 2.5 tons of copper per day. Hence:
x + y ≥ 2.5 (1)
The foundry needs at least 4 tons of lead per day. Hence:
x + 2y ≥ 4 (2)
Plotting equations 1 and 2 using geogebra online graphing tool, we get the points that is the solution to the problem as:
(0, 2.5), (4, 0), (1, 1.5)
Car from Atlanta cost $10000 while car from Birmingham costs $15000. Therefore the cost equation is:
Cost = 10000x + 15000y
We are to find the minimum cost:
At (0, 2.5): Cost = 10000(0) + 15000(2.5) = $37500
At (4, 0): Cost = 10000(4) + 15000(0) = $40000
At (1, 1.5): Cost = 10000(1) + 15000(1.5) = $32500
The minimum cost is at (1, 1.5).
Assume that in 2018, the first edition of a comic book was sold at auction for $762,400. The comic book was originally sold in 1938 for $.05. For this to have been true, what was the annual increase in the value of the comic book
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The above is calculated using;
A = P(1 + r/100)^n
Where
A = Future value
P = Present value
r = rate of interest
n = time period
762,400 = 0.05(1 + r/100) ^ 80
(762,400/0.05)^(1/80) = 1 + r/100
n the context of competing in the global economy, globalization suggests that: a. an organization's nationality is held strongly in consciousness. b. the world's cultural diversity is of no significance to transnational organizations. c. the world is divided by borders and diverse cultures. d. the world is free from national boundaries and is borderless
Answer:
d. the world is free from national boundaries and is borderless
Explanation:
Globalisation is defined as the increase in connectivity between different nations as a result of increased volume of trade and culture exchange that occurs between the nations.
Such increase in inter connectivity leads to a global economy where national borders do not seem to exist.
Globalisation reduces the cumbersome process of having to pay various charges when transacting between countires

Explanation:
The Standard on Property, Plant and Equipment States that :
"When exchange has commercial substance, Cost Price of item Acquired is measured at Fair Value.
When Fair Values of both assets acquired and given up can be determined reliably, the Fair Value of Asset given up will be used.
Unless the Fair Value of the Asset acquired is more evident, that Value may be used"
From this, we have on Fair Value of Asset Acquired, so we use that as the Cost of the New Asset. Cost of New Asset in Both Cases will be $55,000.
Recognize the New Cost of Asset, Derecognize the Cash Paid, Derecognize Cost of Old Asset and Accumulated Depreciation in a journal to find the Profit or loss resulting from the exchange as above.

What is the value of a building that is expected to generate fixed annual cash flows of $13,800 every year for a certain amount of time if the first annual cash flow is expected in 3 years from today and the last annual cash flow is expected in 8 years from today and the appropriate discount rate is 6.8 percent
Answer:
the present value is $58,026
Explanation:
The computation of the value of the building is shown below
Present value = Cash flows × Present value of discounting factor( interest rate%,time period)
= $13,800 ÷ 1.068^3 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^4 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^5 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^6 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^7 + $13,800 ÷ 1.068^8
= $58,026
Hence, the present value is $58,026

An investment offers $6,260 per year for 17 years, with the first payment occurring 11 years from now. If the required return is 3 percent, what is the value of the investment? (HINT: Remember that when you calculate the PV of the annuity, the claculator gives you the present value of the annuity 1 period before the annuity starts. So if the annuity starts in year 7, that calculator will to give you the persent value of annuity in year 6. Now you have to bring this number to period 0 by inputting: N=6 (1 period before the annuity starts, in your case it would be a different number depending when your annuity starts) R=3 FV=Present value of annuity you found in step 1. And you solve for PV)
Answer: $61,328.15
Explanation:
The amount paid is per year so this is an annuity. It will begin 11 years from now so one should find the present value in that year:
Present Value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ - no. of periods) / rate
= 6,260 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 3%) ⁻¹⁷) / 3%
= $82,419.90
That is the present value if the annuity starts 11 years from now which means that it is the present value 10 years from now (ordinary annuities are paid end of period).
You need to discount to current period:
= 82,419.90 / ( 1 + 3%)¹⁰
= $61,328.15
Use a piece of scrap paper to prepare a cost of Goods Manufactured from the following numbers: Beginning Direct Raw Materials -$69,000 Direct Raw Materials Purchases-$92,000. Direct Raw Materials Ending Inventory- $8000 Direct Labor-$25,000. Factory Overhead $37,000. Beginning work in process inventory $22,000. Ending Work in process Inventory $23,500 What are the total manufacturing costs for this statement
Answer:
the total manufacturing cost is $215,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total manufacturing cost is shown below:
= Direct material used + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost
= $69,000 + $92,000 - $8,000 + $25,000 + $37,000
= $215,000
Hence, the total manufacturing cost is $215,000
We simply applied the above formula
A company purchased a new delivery van at a cost of $46,000 on July 1. The delivery van is estimated to have a useful life of 4 years and a salvage value of $3,400. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. How much depreciation expense will be recorded for the van during the first year ended December 31?
Answer:
The amount of depreciation expense that will be recorded for the van during the first year ended December 31 is $5,325.
Explanation:
Since the company uses the straight-line method of depreciation, the annual depreciation expenses can first be calculated using the following formula:
Annual depreciation expense = (Cost of the asset - Salvage value) / Useful life ............ (1)
Where;
Cost of the asset = $46,000
Salvage value = $3,400
Useful life = 4
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Annual depreciation expense = ($46,000 - $3,400) / 4
Annual depreciation expense = $10,650
Since July 1 to December 31 is just half of the year, the amount of depreciation expense that will be recorded for the van during the first year ended December 31 is the halve of the annual depreciation expense that can be calculated as follows:
Depreciation expense to be recorded = Annual depreciation expense / 2 = $10,650 / 2 = $5,325

A water resources engineer is trying to run a cost-benefit analysis for a project. They need to first decide on the planning period (the benefits should be calculated over N years, and N should be determined). If N is too large, then the future benefits in those years (e.g. 70 years from now) will have a very low present value. Therefore, the engineer would like to cut off the planning period after a point when the present equivalent of benefits becomes less than 6.25% of that future benefit. If the interest rate is 8%, use the rule of 72 to determine the duration of the planning period (N).
Answer:
N = 36 years
Explanation:
Solution:
According to the 72 rule, present sum doubles in value, if the product of interest rate in percent and number of compounding period is 72.
So, We can say for every 9 years at 8 percent = 72 = present sum will be doubled.
Similarly, it will be doubled at 18 years., then 27 years, then 36 years and so on.
SO,
We need to find the P/F ratio, for the end of 0 years first.
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 0 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-0}[/tex] (Anything power zero = 1)
So, similarly, calculate this P/F ratio for every 9 years till present equivalent of benefits becomes less than 6.25% of that future benefit.
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 9 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 9 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-9}[/tex]
P/F = 0.50
Amount = 2x
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 18 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 18 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-18}[/tex]
P/F = 0.25
Amount = 4x
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 27 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 27 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-27}[/tex]
P/F = 0.13
Amount = 8x
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 36 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 36 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-36}[/tex]
P/F = 0.06 = P/F ratio percentage = 6%
Amount = 16x
Hence, N = 36 years because it is the value nearest to 6.25% required
find the P/F ratio, for the end of 45 years:
Formula = (P/F, i, n) = [tex](1 + i)^{-n}[/tex]
here,
i = 8%
n = 45 years.
P/F = [tex](1 + 0.08)^{-45}[/tex]
P/F = 0.03
Amount = 32x
There are a number of statistics computed to measure the price level, such as the GDP deflator and the CPI. The choice of which of these measures to use depends in many cases on the specific question in which you are interested. For each of the following situations, state whether the CPI or GDP deflator is a more appropriate measure to use and explain why the statistic is preferred.
Question Completion:
a. You are interested in looking at the impact of higher prices of imported oil in the overall cost of living.
b. The government is interested in whether increases in defense spending are affecting the price level.
c. An economic consulting firm is investigating the impact on the aggregate price level of more computers and electronic technology used in production.
Answer:
The GDP Deflator and the CPI
a. The CPI is used here, as its measure is not restricted to domestically produced goods and services.
b. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate here. Defense spending is not related to consumer goods and services but to government spending, which is a component of the GDP.
c. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate with this investigation. Computers and electronic technology used in production relate to business Investments, which are a component of the GDP and are not part of consumer goods and services or a component of the CPI.
Explanation:
The GDP deflator is exclusively used to measure the prices of all goods and services produced domestically in an economy and is based on the nominal or real GDP. On the other hand, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) is used to measure the weighted average prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, whether produced domestically or imported.
