art of the screening process when choosing which markets to expand to involves gathering information on local markets. One way to gain information is by participating in trade fairs and trade missions. However, companies will often need additional information on markets that require further research. Collecting primary data in foreign markets can present some challenges in researchers especially because of cultural and technical differences between the markets. Identify whether each statement about the research process is most likely associated with cultural differences between markets or technical differences. 1. A number of languages may be spoken in a country and even in countries where only one language is used, a word's meaning can change from one region to the next.

During lunch time, customers arrive at a postal office at a rate of lambda equals 36 per hour. The interarrival time of the arrival process can be approximated with an exponential distribution. Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of mu equals 45 per hour. The service time for the customers can also be approximated with an exponential distribution. For each of the following questions, show your work and use the right notation.

Required:
a. Determine the utilization factor.
b. Determine the probability that the system is idle, i.e., no customer is waiting or being served.
c. Determine the probability that exactly one customer is in the system, i.e., no customer is waiting but one is served.

Answers

Answer:a) utilization factor, P =4/5

b)Probability that the system is idle, P₀=1/5

C) the probability that exactly one customer is in the system,P ₁=4/25

Explanation:

A)

From the question,

Customer arrives at the rate of λ equal 36  per hour

Also,

Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of μ equals 45 per hour

Therefore, we have that

utilization factor. P = λ / μ

where

λ = 36 / hour

μ = 45 / hour

P= 36 / 45

P= 4/5

The utilization factor is 4/5

b) the probability that the system is idle, i.e., no customer is waiting or being served.

Probability that the system is idle P₀ =1 - P

1 - 4/5

=1/5

C) the probability that exactly one customer is in the system, i.e., no customer is waiting but one is served.

probability that exactly one customer is in the system,P ₁=(λ/μ)¹ x (1-λ/μ)

(36 / 45) x (1-36 / 45)

4/5 x (1-4/5)

4/5 x 1/5

=4/25

Baker Winery manufactures a fine wine in two departments, Fermenting and Bottling. In the Fermenting Department, grapes are aged in casks for a period of 30 days. In the Bottling Department, the wine is bottled and then sent to the finished goods warehouse. Labor and overhead are incurred uniformly through both processes. Materials are entered at the beginning of both processes. Cost and production data for the Fermenting Department for December 2020 are presented below: Cost data Beginning work in process inventory $37,000 ($30,000 of materials cost) Materials 390,000 Conversion costs 116,000 Total costs $543,000 Production data Beginning work in process (gallons) 5,000 (40%) Gallons started into production 79,000 Ending work in process (gallons) 8,000 (75%)
Instructions:
a) compute the equivalent units of production
b) Determine the unit production costs
c) Determine the costs to be assigned to units transferred out and ending work in process.

Answers

Answer:

a)   84,000 units  ( materials )

     82,000 units ( conversion )

b) $6.5

c)  $494,000 ( material )

   $494,000 ( conversion )

Explanation:

a) Calculate the equivalent unit of production

applying the weighted average method

for the units completed and transferred out

= 5000 + 79000 - 8000 = 76000 ( material ) , Conversion = 76000

For ending work in process

= 8000 ( material ) , conversion = 8000 * 75% = 6000

∴ equivalent units of production

= 76000 + 8000 = 84,000 units  ( materials )

and

= 76000 + 6000 = 82,000 units ( conversion )

B) calculate the unit production costs

Total cost incurred till date = beginning work in process + current period cost  

 = 30,000 + 390,000 = 420,000 ( material )

(conversion) = 123,000.

Equivalent units = 84,000 ( materials ) , 82,000 ( conversion )

cost per unit = 420,000 / 84000 ,   123000/ 82,000

                     = 5 , 1.5

Hence Total unit cost = $6.5 ( i.e. 1.5 + 5 )

C) cost to be assigned

76000 * 6.5 = $494,000 ( material )

76000 * 6.5 = $494,000 ( conversion )

B. Accounts Receivable $770,000

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $32,200

Bad Debt Expense $25,200

C. $744,800

Explanation:

a. Calculation to Determine the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts using this formula

Uncollectible accounts Adjusting entry= Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Credit balance on Allowance for doubtful accounts

Let plug in the formula

Uncollectible accounts Adjusting entry=$32,200 - $7,000

Uncollectible accounts Adjusting entry= $25,200

Therefore the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts is $25,200

B. Based on the information given the adjusted balances of Accounts Receivable will be $770,000

Based on the information given the adjusted balances of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will be $32,200

Bad Debt Expense = $32,200 - $7,000

Bad Debt Expense= $25,200

c. Calculation to Determine the net realizable value of accounts receivable

Using this formula

Net realizable value of accounts receivable = Accounts receivables - Bad debt

Let plug in the formula

Net realizable value of accounts receivable= $770,000 - $25,200

Net realizable value of accounts receivable=$744,800

Therefore Net realizable value of accounts receivable is $744,800

When the existing spot rate exceeds the exercise price, a call option is ____, and a put option is ____. Group of answer choices out of the money; in the money out of the money; out of the money in the money; in the money in the money; out of the money

Answer:

in the money; out of the money.

Explanation:

Secondary market can be defined as a market where various investors sell and buy securities from other investors.

Some examples of secondary market around the world are New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ, London Stock Exchange (LSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE).

On the other hand, the primary market refers to the market where these securities that are being sold are issued or created.

In trading and investment, a stock option can be defined as a contract that states that the buyer as the right to buy (call) or sell (put) an asset at a particular price at any time but necessarily obligational. Thus, it is strictly at the discretion of the buyer (investor).

Generally, in a long (buy) position, a buyer hopes that the price of stocks will rise because he or she will typically profit from a rise in price.

However, a short (buy) position, a buyer hopes that the price of stocks will fall because he or she will typically profit from a fall in price.

A spot rate is the cash or exchange rate placed on a contract in the stock exchange market.

When the existing spot rate exceeds the exercise price, a call option is in the money, and a put option is out of the money.

Explanation:

The postal service of St. Vincent, an island in the West Indies, obtains a significant portion of its revenues from sales of special souvenir sheets to stamp collectors. The postal service purchases the souvenir sheets from a supplier for $0.80 each. St. Vincent has been selling the souvenir sheets for $8.00 each and ordinarily sells about 80,000 units. To test the market, the postal service recently priced a new souvenir sheet at $7.00 and sales increased to 93,600 units.
Required:
1. What total contribution margin did the postal service earn when it sold 80,000 sheets at a price of $8.00 each?
2. By what percentage did the St. Vincent post office decrease its selling price? By what percentage did unit sales increase? (Round your answers to one-tenth of a percent.)
3. What total contribution margin did the postal service earn when it sold 93,600 sheets at a price of $7.00 each?
4. What was the postal service’s increase (decrease) in total contribution margin going from the higher price of $8.00 to the lower price of $7.00?
5. How many sheets would the postal service have to sell at the lower price of $7.00 to equal the total contribution margin earned at the higher price of $8.00? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)
6. What percentage increase in the number of sheets sold at $7.00 must be achieved to equal the total contribution margin earned at the higher price of $8.00? (Round your answer up to the nearest one-tenth of a percent.)
7. A financial manager at the postal service has suggested that a more accurate comparison of the two pricing alternatives ($8.00 vs. $7.00) should include an allocation of the postal service’s common fixed costs. A portion of the common fixed costs would be allocated to each alternative using total sales dollars as the cost allocation base. He contends that this approach would help ensure that the postal service’s common fixed costs are covered by the prices that it charges customers. Do you agree?

Answers

Answer:

St. Vincent

1. Contribution margin with sales of 80,000 sheets at $8.00 each:

Sales revenue $640,000

Cost of sales       64,000

Contribution   $576,000

2. Percentage decrease in selling price:

Old price =  $8.00

New price =  7.00

Decrease = $1.00

Decrease in percentage = $1/$8 * 100

= 12.5%

3. Percentage increase in sales units:

New sales units = 93,600

Old sales units =  80,000

Increase in units   13,600

Increase in percentage = 13,600/80,000 * 100

= 17%

4. Contribution margin with sales of 93,600 sheets at $7.00 each:

Sales revenue   $655,200

Cost of sales         64,000

Contribution      $591,800

Old contribution 576,000

Increase =           $15,200

5. Contribution per margin (new price) = $6.20 ($7.00 - $0.80)

Units to sell to equal the total contribution margin earned at the higher price of $8.00 = 92,903 ($576,000/$6.20)

6. Percentage increase in the number of sheets sold at $7.00 to equal the total contribution margin earned at the higher price of $8.00:

New units = 92,903

Old units =  80,000

Increase =   12,903

Percentage increase = 12,903/80,000 * 100

= 16.129

= 16.13%

7. The common fixed costs do not vary according to the units sold.  Allocating a portion of the fixed costs to the alternatives does not make the comparison more accurate.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of a souvenir = $0.80

Selling price per souvenir = $8.00

Sales units = 80,000

Selling price of a new souvenir = $7.00

Sales units of the new souvenir = 93,600

Key Co. plans to present comparative financial statements for the years ended December 31, 20X1 and 20X2, respectively. Smith, CPA, audited Key's financial statements for both years and plans to report on the comparative financial statements on May 1, 20X3. Key's current management team was not present until January 1, 20X2. What period of time should be covered by Key's management representation letter

Answers

Answer: B.  January 1, 20X1, through May 1, 20X3

Explanation:

The management representation letter should cover all the periods that will be in the auditor's report not just the periods that the current management team was in effect in.

Even though the financial statements are for the years ended December 31, 20X1 and 20X2, the auditor has a responsibility to include the events that happened all the way up to the date the reports will be released on May 20X3.

This is why the management representation letter needs to include the entire period of January 1, 20X1, through May 1, 20X3 because those will be in the audit report.

Use the following information to answer question. Madelyn owns a small pottery factory. She can make 1,000 pieces of pottery per year and sell them for $100 each. It costs Madelyn $20,000 for the raw materials to produce the 1,000 pieces of pottery. She has invested $100,000 in her factory and equipment: $50,000 from her savings and $50,000 borrowed at 10 percent (assume that she could have loaned her money out at 10 percent, too). Madelyn can work at a competing pottery factory for $40,000 per year.

Required:
The economic profit at madelyn's pottery factory is:_________

Answers

Answer:

$30,000

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Total number of pieces per year = 1,000

Selling price per piece = $100 per piece

So, Total revenue = $100 × 1,000 = $100,000

Raw material = $20,000

Investment = $100,000

So, interest on investment = 10% × $100,000 = $10,000

Opportunity cost = $40,000

So, we can calculate the economic profit by using following formula,

Economic profit = Total revenue - Raw material - interest on investment - Opportunity cost

By putting the value, we get

Economic profit = $100,000 - $20,000 - $10,000 - $40,000

= $30,000

Answers

Answer:

Annual Cash Dividends

a. = $347,645.10

b. = $145,450

c. = $317,200

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

1. $3.30 Cumulative Preferred Stock:

Authorized shares = 210,000

Issued shares =        146,000

Treasury shares =     40,653

Outstanding shares 105,347

Cash dividend = $347,645.10 ($3.30 * 105,347)

2. 5% Preferred Stock, $40 par value:

Authorized shares = 293,000

Issued shares =         165,000

Outstanding shares   72,725 * $40 = $2,909,000

Cash dividend = $145,450 ($2,909,000 * 5%)

3. 12.2% cumulative preferred, $100 stated value, $108 liquidating value:

Authorized shares =   81,000

Issued shares =         42,000

Outstanding shares  26,000 * $100 = $2,600,000

Cash dividend = $317,200 ($2,600,000 * 12.2%)

3. Assume that the Appliance Division is operating at 75 percent capacity. The Manufactured Housing Division is currently buying 4,000 dishwashers from an outside supplier for $290 each. Assume that any joint benefit will be split evenly between the two divisions. What is the expected transfer price

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Transfer Pricing: Various Computations

Corning Company has a decentralized organization with a divisional  structure. Two of these divisions are the Appliance Division and the Manufactured Housing Division. Each divisional manager is evaluated on the basis of ROI.

The Appliance Division produces a small automatic dishwasher that the Manufactured Housing Division can use in one of its models. Appliance can produce up to 20,000 of these dishwashers per year. The variable costs of manufacturing the dishwashers are $98.The Manufactured Housing Division inserts the dishwasher into the model house and then sells the manufactured house to outside customers for $73,000 each. The division's capacity is 4,000 units. The variable costs of the manufactured house (in addition to the cost of the dishwasher itself) are $42,600.  

Required:

Assume each part is independent, unless otherwise indicated.

1) Assume that all of the dishwashers produced can be sold to external customers for $320 each. The Manufactured Housing Division wants to buy 4,000 dishwashers per year. What should the transfer price be?

2) Refer to Requirement 1. Assume $24 of avoidable distribution costs. Identify the maximum and minimum transfer prices.  

3) Assume that the Appliance Division is operating at 75 percent capacity. The Manufactured Housing Division is currently buying 4,000 dishwashers from an outside supplier for $290 each. Assume that any joint benefit will be split evenly between the two divisions. What is the expected transfer price?

Answer:

a) The transfer price TP is the market ( $ 320 )

b)

- minimum transfer price : $ 296

- maximum transfer price : $ 320

c) the expected transfer price is $ 194

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) What should the transfer price be?

The transfer price TP is the market ( $ 320 ) as all the dishwashers produced will be sold to the external customers for $ 320 .

b) Identify the maximum and minimum transfer prices?

Refer to question 1 above and assuming $24 of avoidable distribution costs.

the maximum and minimum transfer prices will be;

- minimum transfer price : $ 320 - $ 24 = $ 296

- maximum transfer price : $ 320

c) What is the expected transfer price?

given that; the variable costs of manufacturing the dishwashers are $98.

The Manufactured Housing Division is currently buying 4,000 dishwashers from an outside supplier for $290 each.

so potential gain = $290 - $98

= $ 192

thus, share of gain of each division will be;

⇒ $ 192 / 2 = $ 96

so the transfer price will be;

⇒ $ 98 + $ 96

= $ 194

Therefore, the expected transfer price is $ 194

Production Budget Pasadena Candle Inc. projected sales of 800,000 candles for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory i 35,000 units, and the desired December 31 inventory is 20,000 units.
Prepare a production budget report in units for Pasadena Candle Inc.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The preparation of the production budget is presented below;

Expected sales units 800,000 candles

Add: Desired closing inventory, Dec 31 20,000 units  

Total units available 820,000 units  

Subtract: Estimated opening inventory,Jan 1 -35,000  units

Total units to be produced 785,000  units

Hence, the above format should be prepared for the production budget

Ohio Swiss Milk Products manufactures and distributes ice cream in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The company wants to expand operations by locating another plant in northern Ohio. The size of the new plant will be a function of the expected demand for ice cream within the area served by the plant. A mar-ket survey is currently under way to determine that demand. Ohio Swiss wants to estimate the relationship between the manufacturing cost per gallon and the number of gallons sold in a year to determine the demand for ice cream and, thus, the size of the new plant. The following data have been collected.

Plant Cost per Thousand Gallons (Y) Thousands of Gallons Sold (X)

c. Suppose that the market survey indicates a demand of 325,000 gallons in the Bucyrus Ohio, area. Estimate the manufacturing cost per gallon for a plant producing 325,000 gallons peryear.

Answers

Answer:

a. The regression equation required is Y = 915.18 – 0.2819X.

b. b-1. Correlation coefficient (r) = –0.9423

b-2. Coefficient of determination = r^2 = 88.80%

b-3. The negative correlation coefficient of -0.9423 implies that increase in X mostly causes a decrease in Y. The coefficient of determination implies that 88.80% variation in Y is explained by X.

c. The manufacturing cost per gallon is $823.56.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of Mean of X and Y and other values.

a. Develop a regression equation to forecast the cost per gallon as a function of the number of gallons produced.

The regression can be written as follows:

Y = bo + b1X ………………… (1)

b1 = (Sum of (Y - Mean of Y) * (X - Mean of X)) / (Sum of (X - Mean of X)^2) = –34,273.08 / 121,585.14 = –0.2819

b0 = Mean of Y – (b1 * Mean of X) = 1,018.20 - (365.44 * 0.2819) = 915.18

Substituting b) and b1 values into equation (1), regression equation to forecast the cost per gallon as a function of the number of gallons produced can be written as follows:

Y = 915.18 – 0.2819X ……………………….. (2)

Equation (2) is the regression equation required.

b. What are the correlation coefficient and the coefficient of determination? Comment on your regression equation in light of these measures.

b-1. Correlation coefficient (r) can be calculated using the following formula:

r = (Sum of (Y - Mean of Y) * (X - Mean of X)) / ((Sum of (Y - Mean of Y)^2) * (Sum of (X - Mean of X)^2))^0.5 = –34,273.08 / (10,879.60 * 121,585.14)^0.5 = –0.9423

b-2. Coefficient of determination = r^2 = –0.94^2 = 0.8880, or 88.80%

b-3. The negative correlation coefficient of -0.9423 implies that increase in X mostly causes a decrease in Y. The coefficient of determination implies that 88.80% variation in Y is explained by X.

c. Suppose that the market survey indicates a demand of 325,000 gallons in the Bucyrus Ohio, area. Estimate the manufacturing cost per gallon for a plant producing 325,000 gallons per year.

Since X and Y are in thousands, 325,000 gallons implies we have:

X = 325

Substitute X = 325 into equation (2), we have:

Y = 915.18 - (0.2819 * 325)

Expressing in full form, we have:

Y = $823

Therefore, the manufacturing cost per gallon is $823.56.

a. Wheat used to make flour at General Mills.
b. Sales commissions paid to sales personnel at Gap retail stores.
c. Costs incurred by General Motors to ship automobile seats purchased from the Lear Corporation to GM assembly plants.
d. Insurance paid on the Target retail stores in Michigan.

Answers

Answer:

Product costs refer to the costs incurred to produce a good while period costs are more like general expenses incurred during a period.

a. Wheat used to make flour at General Mills. ⇒ PRODUCT COST. DIRECT MATERIAL.

Wheat is a main ingredient in producing flour so it is a product cost. It is also a direct material cost because it is directly involved in the making of flour which is the main product of General Mills.

b. Sales commissions paid to sales personnel at Gap retail stores. ⇒ PERIOD COST.

Sales commissions have nothing to do with the production of the goods so is a period cost that relates to general expenses incurred in a period.

c. Costs incurred by General Motors to ship automobile seats purchased from the Lear Corporation to GM assembly plants. ⇒ PRODUCT COST. DIRECT MATERIAL COST.

The automobile seats are necessary for the production of cars which makes them a product cost. Cars are the main product of GM and chairs are necessary for that so this is a direct material.

d. Insurance paid on the Target retail stores in Michigan. ⇒ PERIOD COST.

General period expense.
