Charles lives in Houston and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $851,000 from selling boats. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $476,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $281,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $71,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Charles does not operate this boat business, he can work as an accountant, receive an annual salary of $34,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $71,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this boat business.
Implicit Cost
Explicit Cost
The salary Bob could earn if he worked as an accountant
The wholesale cost for the boats that Bob pays the manufacturer
The rental income Bob could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
The wages and utility bills that Bob pays
Complete the following table by determining Bob's accounting and economic profit of his boat business.
Profit
(Dollars)
Accounting Profit
Economic Profit
Answer and Explanation:
The classification is as follows;
When bob worked as an accountant so he could earn the salary so this represent the implicit cost
The cost for the boats that bob paid to the manufactured represent the explicit cost
The rental income that received by bob represent the implicit cost
The wages and utility bills paid by bob represent the explicit cost
The Accounting profit is
= Revenue - explicit cost
= $851,000 - $476,000 - $281,000
= $94000
And, the Economic profit is
= Accounting profit - implicit cost
= $94,000 - $71,000 - $34,000
= -$11,000
What is the primary characteristic that differentials a zero based budget from a conventional budget. A. A zero based budget does not take inflation into account. B. The zero based budget requires managers to re-justify every planned expenditure every year. C. A zero based budget rolls historical data forward. D. A zero based budget uses a fixed volume growth rate.
Answer:
B. The zero based budget requires managers to re-justify every planned expenditure every year.
Explanation:
A zero based budget is one that does not take into account historical data when it is considering the present year budget. Each departmental requirement is re-evaluated and a new amount is assigned as budget for the year.
However conventional budgets carryover the previous year's expenses as a base data point. This results in similar budgeting across years.
So the main difference between the two is that zero based budget requires managers to re-justify every planned expenditure every year.
Bonita Industries financed the purchase of a machine by making payments of $29000 at the end of each of five years. The appropriate rate of interest was 8%. The future value of one for five periods at 8% is 1.46933. The future value of an ordinary annuity for five periods at 8% is 5.86660. The present value of an ordinary annuity for five periods at 8% is 3.99271. What was the cost of the machine to Bonita?
Answer:
Cost of Machine today = $115788.59
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of machine to Bonita in today's term, we need to calculate the present value of annuity. We know that the payments made are in form of an ordinary annuity because the amount of payment is fixed (29000) , the payments are made after equal interval of time (at the end of each year) and are made in finite number (5 years).
We will multiply the annuity payment per period by the PV of ordinary annuity factor as provided in the question to calculate the value or price of machine today.
Cost of Machine today = 29000 * 3.99271
Cost of Machine today = $115788.59

Whistle Works sells each whistle for $12. It takes 3 ounces of metal to produce each whistle at a cost of $0.50 per ounce. They prefer to have 10% of materials required for the following month's production in ending inventory as well. How many ounces of direct materials does Whistle Works need to purchase in October to meet production needs?
A) 4,500 ounces
B) 13,575 ounces
C) 13,425 ounces
D) 4,525 ounces
Answer:
Purchases = 13575 ounces
Option B is the correct answer
Explanation:
To calculate the purchases of material for October, we first need to calculate the inventory needed to produce the desired number of units in October along with the desired ending inventory and adjust it for the available opening inventory at start of October.
Material available at Start - October = 10% * 4500 units * 3 ounces per unit Material available at Start - October = 1350 ounces
Material required at end - October = 10% * 4750 units * 3 ounces per unit
Material required at end - October = 1425 ounces
Material required to produce required units in October = 4500 * 3 = 13500
Production = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory
13500 = 1350 + Purchases - 1425
13500 + 1425 - 1350 = Purchases
Purchases = 13575 ounces

Revenue $ 198,510
Direct labor $ 29,265
Direct materials $ 80,965
Manufacturing overhead $ 51,905
Selling and administrative expenses $ 23,380
The spending variance for manufacturing overhead in May would be closest to:_________
Answer:
$435
Explanation:
Spending variance for manufacturing overhead = Manufacturing overheads as per Flexible budget - Actual Manufacturing overheads incurred
Spending variance for manufacturing overhead = [$42,200+$2.00*5,070] - $51,905
Spending variance for manufacturing overhead = $52,340 - $51,905
Spending variance for manufacturing overhead = $435
So, the spending variance for manufacturing overhead in May is closest to $435.

Product A B C Selling price $9 $14 $18 Variable costs and expenses $6 $12 $15 Machine hours to produce 2 1 2 Compute the contribution margin per unit of limited resource (machine hours) for each product. (Round contribution margin per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.50.) Product A Product B Product C Contribution margin per unit of limited resource $ $ $ Assuming 3,000 additional machine hours are available, which product should be manufactured
Answer:
Product A = 1.50
Product B = 2
Product C = 1.50
Explanation:
Contribution margin = (price - variable cost) / total number of hours
Product A = ($9 - $6) / 2 = 1.50
Product B = ($14 - $12) / 1 = 2
Product C = ($18 - $15) / 2 = 1.50
Product B would be produced because its contribution margin is the highest

The average issue price per share of preferred stock must have been: _________
Answer:
$70.00
Explanation:
Average issue price per share of preferred stock = (Preferred stock capital + Contributed capital in excess of par value, Preferred Stock) / Number of shares issues & outstanding
Average issue price per share of preferred stock = ($100,000 + $250,000) / 5,000 shares
Average issue price per share of preferred stock = $350,000 / 5,000 shares
Average issue price per share of preferred stock = $70.00

XYZ is considering two proposed machinery investments. Proposals A and B each cost $600,000, have 6-year lives, and have expected total cash flows of $750,000. Proposal A is expected to provide equal annual net cash flows of $125,000 while the net cash flows for Proposal B are as follows: Year 1 $250,000 Year 2 $200,000 Year 3 $150,000 Year 4 $ 75,000 Year 5 $ 50,000 Year 6 $ 25,000 Determine the cash payback period for Proposal A and B. Show all calculations. Rounds answers to 1 decimal place.
Answer:
Payback period for Proposal A = 4.8 years
Payback period for Proposal B = 3 years
Explanation:
Calculation of Payback period for Proposal A:
Year Investment Net Annual Cash Flow
0 $600,000 $125,000
1 $125,000
2 $125,000
3 $125,000
4 $125,000
5 $125,000
6 $125,000
Cash Payback period = Cost of Capital investment/Net Annual cash flow
Cash Payback period = $600,000/$125,000
Cash Payback period = 4.8 years
Calculation of Payback period for Proposal B:
Year Investment Net Annual Cash Flow Cumulative Net Cash Flows
0 $600,000 $250,000 $250,000
1 $200,000 $450,000
2 $150,000 $600,000
3 $75,000 $675,000
4 $50,000 $725,000
5 $25,000 $750,000
6
The Cumulative net cash flow of $600,000 is equal to investment cost of $600,000 for 3 years. So, payback period for proposal B is 3 years.
Suppose that Ava withdraws $300 from her savings account at Second Bank. The reserve requirement facing Second Bank is 10%. Assume the bank does not wish to hold any excess reserves of new deposits. Use this information to complete the balance sheet below to show how Second Bank's assets and liabilities change when Ava withdraws the $300 from the bank. Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number. If you are entering a negative number include a minus sign. A Simple Bank Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities.
Change in Reserves: $ -30
Change in Deposits: $ -300
Change in Loans: $ -270
Answer:
Due to withdrawal of the $300 from saving account. Decrease in the required reserve = 300*10% = $30. So, Change in reserve = -$30
Decrease in loans as there is no excess reserve) = $300 - $30 = $270. So, the change in loans = -$270
Decrease in deposits since it is withdrawn = $300. So, the change in deposit = -$300
Balance Sheet
Assets Liabilities
Changes in required reserve = -$30 Change in deposit = -$300
Changes in loans = -$270
Total Change = -$300 Total Change = -$300
Given a reserve requirement of 12.5%, a bank currently meets their reserve requirements with $15,000,000 in excess reserves. If the reserve requirement increases and the bank must hold an additional $1,800,000, by how many percentage points did the reserve requirement increase
Answer:
1.5%
Explanation:
Reserves is the total amount of a bank's deposit that is not given out as loans
Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank
Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves
Total increase in reserve = $15,000,000 + $1,800,000= $16,800,000
New excess reserve = total increase in reserve x initial reserve requirement) / initial excess reserve
($16,800,000 x 12.5%) / $15,000,000 = 14%
Increase in reserve requirement = 14% - 12.5% = 1.5%

Inventory data for Year 13 are asfollows:12/31/13 inventory at year-end prices$660,000Relevant price index at year end (base year Year 12)110Using dollar value LIFO, Farr's inventory at December 31, Year 13 isa.$528,000.b.$612,000.c.$600,000.d.$660,000
Answer:
b. $612,000
Explanation:
Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $660,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory at base year (2012) prices = $660,000/110*100 = $600,000
The real-dollar quantity increase in inventory = ($600,000 - $480,000) = $120,000
Value of this real dollar quantity increase in inventory at Dec 31, 2013 prices= $120,000 * 110/100 = $132,000 (LIFO layer to the Dec 31, 2012 inventory)
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = Dec 31, 2012 inventory + The value of LIFO layer formed
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $480,000 + $132,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $612,000

Roland, Inc. provides residential painting services for three home building companies, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, and it uses a job costing system for determining the costs for completing each job. The job cost system does not capture any cost incurred by Roland for return touchups and refinishes after the homeowner occupies the home. Roland paints each house on a square footage contract price, which includes painting as well as all refinishes and touchups required after the homes are occupied. Each year, Roland generates about one-third of its total revenues and gross profits from each of the three builders. Roland has observed that the builders, however, require substantially different levels of support following the completion of jobs. The following data have been gathered:Major refinishes Hours on job $70
Touchups Number of visits $180
Communication Number of calls $20
Builder Major Refinishes Touchups Communication
Alpha 80 150 360
Beta 35 110 205

Monsanto Company, a large chemical and fibers company, invested $37 million in state-of-the-art systems to improve process control, laboratory automation, and local area network (LAN) communications. The investment was not justified merely on cost savings but was also justified on the basis of qualitative considerations. Monsanto management viewed the investment as a critical element toward achieving its version of the future. What qualitative and quantitative considerations do you believe Monsanto would have considered in its strategic evaluation of these investments
Solution :
The investment which was made by the Monsanto Company had both qualitative as well as quantitative aspects. The quantitative aspect of the investment represents the strategic evaluation which relates to the investment in order to improve the process control and the laboratory automation. While improving the process control helps in controlling the working process of the machines and the human force which reduces the wastage to a large extent, it also increases the efficiency and it reduces the cost per unit.

The Wiz Co. owes $60 to its bondholders for the payment of principal and interest. The company expects to have a cash flow of $136 if the economy continues as it is but that cash flow will decrease to $54 if the economy enters a recession. Should the company ever face the real possibility of bankruptcy, it will incur legal and other fees of $30. What amount will the bondholders be paid in the case of a recession
Answer:
$24
Explanation:
Cashflow If economy as it is = $136
Cashflow if economy in recession = $54
In the event that the company goes bankrupt due to the recession, it will have to pay $30 in legal and other costs, so the company will set aside $30.
So, Bondholders payment = Cashflow in recession - legal & other cost
= $54 - $30
= $24
Hence, the bondholders will be paid $24 in the case of a recession.

b) After the merger 621 1,616
c) Considering the HHI values determined in the various markets above (before and after the merger) and the DoJ merger guidelines, the DoJ seems to be right in allowing the merger to take place with respect to the desktop PC market as the 200 basis point mark was not reached. This is not the same with respect to the servers market, where the combined value of HP Compaq exceeds the 200 basis point mark.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Pre-merger market shares in the desktop PC and servers markets:
Desktop PC Servers
Market Market
Dell, 13 7
Compaq, 12 16
HP, 8 14
IBM, 6 26
Gateway, 4 0
HHI in the desktop PC market = 13² + 12² + 8² + 6² + 4²
= 169 + 144 + 64 + 36 + 16
= 429
HHI in the servers market = 7² + 16² + 14² + 26² + 0² =
= 49 + 256 + 196 + 676
= 1,177
After the merger:
Desktop PC Servers
Market Market
Dell, 13 7
HP Compaq 20 30
IBM, 6 26
Gateway, 4 0
HHI in the desktop PC market = 13² + 20² + 6² + 4²
= 169 + 400 + 36 + 16
= 621
HHI in the servers market = 7² + 30² + 26² + 0²
= 40 + 900 + 676
= 1,616
Value of HHI Desktop PC Servers
a) Before the merger 429 1,177
b) After the merger 621 1,616
Market power of Compaq and HP in the desktop PC market before the merger = 208/429 = 48.5% (144 + 64)/429
Market power of HP Compaq in the desktop PC market after the merger = 400/621 = 64.4%
Increase in basis point (HHI) = 192 (621 = 429)
Market power of Compaq and HP in the servers market before the merger = 452/1,177 = 38.4% (256 + 196)/1,177
Market power of HP Compaq in the servers market after the merger = 900/1,616 = 55.7%
Increase in basis point (HHI) = 439 (1,616 - 1,1177)

Cameron Industries is purchasing a new chemical vapor depositor in order to make silicon chips. It will cost $7,000,000 to buy the machine and $20,000 to have it delivered and installed. Building a clean room in the plant for the machine will cost an additional $3 million. The machine is expected to raise gross profits by $4,500,000 per year, starting at the end of the first year, with associated costs of $1 million for each of those years. The machine is expected to have a working life of seven years and will be depreciated over those seven years. The marginal tax rate is 40%. What are the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine in year 0?
A) -$10,020,000
B) -$7,000,000
C) -$9,018,000
D) $1,002,857
Answer:
A) -$10,020,000
Explanation:
Year 0 cash flow = -(Cost of Machine + Installation Cost + Clean Room Cost)
Year 0 cash flow = -($7,000,000 + $20,000 + $3,000,000)
Year 0 cash flow = -$10,200,000
So, the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine in year 0 is ($10,200,000).
Terry Wade, the new controller of Hellickson Company, has reviewed the expected useful lives and salvage values of selected depreciable assets at the beginning of 2015. His findings are as follows.
Date Accumulated Depreciation Useful life in Years Salvage Value
Type of Asset Acquired Cost 1/1/15 Old Proposed Old Proposed
Building 1/1/09 $806,700 $115,410 40 50 $37,300 $50,210
Warehouse 1/1/10 114,000 21,940 25 20 4,300 19,610
All assets are depreciated by the straight-line method. Hellickson Company uses a calendar year in preparing annual financial statements. After discussion, management has agreed to accept Terry’s proposed changes.
1) Compute the revised annual depreciation on each asset in 2015. ( Building and Warehouse)
2) Prepare the entry to record depreciation on the building in 2015. (If no entry is required, select "No entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1) Compute the revised annual depreciation on each asset in 2015.
The revised annual depreciation for building will be:
= ($806700 - $115410 - $50210)/44
= $64180 / 44
= $14570
The revised annual depreciation for warehouse will be:
= ($114000 - $21940 - $19610) / 15
= $72450 / 15
= $4830
2) Prepare the entry to record depreciation on the building in 2015.
Debit Depreciation expense $14570
Credit Accumulated Depreciation- Building $14570
(To record Depreciation expense)
For each of the three independent situations below determine the amount of the annual lease payments. Each describes a finance lease in which annual lease payments are payable at the beginning of each year. Each lease agreement contains an option that permits the lessee to acquire the leased asset at an option price that is sufficiently lower than the expected fair value that the exercise of the option appears reasonably certain.
Situation 1 Situation 2 Situation 3
Lease term (years) 5 10 4
Lessor?s rate of return 10% 11% 9%
Fair value of leased asset $62,000 $421,000 $186,000
Lessor?s cost of leased asset $51,000 $421,000 $146,000
Bargain purchase option:
Option price $11,000 $51,000 $23,000
Exercisable at end of the year: 5 5 3
Required:
Determine the annual lease payments for each situation:
Answer:
a. The annual lease payment for Situation 1 is $12,774.47.
b. The annual lease payment for Situation 2 is $71,486.40.
c. The annual lease payment for Situation 3 is $57,412.37.
Explanation:
The annual lease payments can be calculated using the formula for calculating loan amortization as follows:
P = (A * (r * (1 + r)^n)) / (((1+r)^n) - 1) .................................... (1)
Where,
For Situation 1
P = Annual lease payments = ?
A = Fair value of leased asset = $62,000
r = interest rate = Lessor’s rate of return = 10%, or 0.01
n = Number of years of lease term = 5
Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:
P = ($62,000 * (0.01 * (1 + 0.01)^5)) / (((1+0.01)^5) - 1)
P = $12,774.47
Therefore, the annual lease payment for Situation 1 is $12,774.47.
For Situation 2
P = Annual lease payments = ?
A = Fair value of leased asset = $421,000
r = interest rate = Lessor’s rate of return = 11%, or 0.11
n = Number of years of lease term = 10
Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:
P = ($421,000 * (0.11 * (1 + 0.11)^10)) / (((1 + 0.11)^10) - 1)
P = $71,486.40
Therefore, the annual lease payment for Situation 2 is $71,486.40.
For Situation 3
P = Annual lease payments = ?
A = Fair value of leased asset = $186,000
r = interest rate = Lessor’s rate of return = 9%, or 0.09
n = Number of years of lease term = 4
Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:
P = ($186,000 * (0.09 * (1 + 0.09)^4)) / (((1 + 0.09)^4) - 1)
P = $57,412.37
Therefore, the annual lease payment for Situation 3 is $57,412.37.
