Answer:
$460,000
Explanation:
The computation of the margin of safety in dollars is shown below:-
Break even sales = fixed cost ÷ contribution per unit
= $480,000 ÷ $80
= 6,000 units
The Margin of safety in dollars = Total sales - Break even sales
= 8,300 - 6,000
= 2,300
sale price = $1660000 ÷ 8,300
= $200 per unit
margin of safety in dollars = 2,300 × $200
= $460,000

If Rosa reduces her portfolio's exposure to risk by opting for a smaller share of stocks, he must also accept a average annual return. Suppose Rosa currently allocates 25% of her portfolio to a diversified group of stocks and 75% of her portfolio to risk-free bonds; that is, she chooses combination B. She wants to increase the average annual return on her portfolio from 4.5% to 9.5%. In order to do so, she must do which of the following?
a. Sell some of her bonds and use the proceeds to purchase stocks
b. Sell some of her stocks and use the proceeds to purchase bonds
c. Place the entirety of her portfolio in bonds
d. Accept a lower average annual rate of return
Answer:
a. Sell some of her bonds and use the proceeds to purchase stocks.
Explanation:
Debt or bonds is less risky so it generates lower returns. Stock or equity comprises high risk so it offers high returns to its investors. If Rosa wants to increase her returns from 4.5% to 9.5% then he should sell some of its bonds and invest the proceeds into stocks. The lower returns on the bonds will be replaced by high returns on the stocks.
Zola Inc. paid a $10,000 legal fee to the attorney who resolved a dispute over Zola's title to investment land. Zola's auditors required the corporation to expense the payment for financial statement purposes. The tax law required Zola to capitalize the payment to the basis of the land. This difference in accounting treatment results in a:
Answer:
Deferred tax asset
Explanation:
A deferred tax asset results when a taxpayer (in this case Zola, Inc.) pays more taxes than what they were required to do during a certain period. It is considered an asset because the taxpayer will be allowed to use this overpayment of taxes to decrease future tax liabilities.
McNulty, Inc., produces desks and chairs. A new CFO has just been hired and announces a new policy that if a product cannot earn a margin of at least 30 percent, it will be dropped. The margin is computed as product gross profit divided by reported product cost.Manufacturing overhead for year 1 totaled $799,000. Overhead is allocated to products based on direct labor cost. Data for year 1 show the following:
Chairs DesksSales revenue $1,240,000 $2,286,900Direct materials 587,000 830,000Direct labor 150,000 320,000Required:a-1. Based on the CFO's new policy, calculate the profit margin for both chairs and desks.Profit marginChairs ?%Desks ?%a-2. Which of the two products should be dropped?ChairsDesksb. Regardless of your answer in requirement (a), the CFO decides at the beginning of year 2 to drop the chair product. The company cost analyst estimates that overhead without the chair line will be $680,000. The revenue and costs for desks are expected to be the same as last year. What is the estimated margin for desks in year 2? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place.)Estimated margin for desks- Year 2 ?%
Answer:
McNulty, Inc.
Chairs Desks
1. Margin on cost 25% 35%
2. Chairs should be dropped.
3. Margin for desks in Year 2 = 25%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected margin = 30% = Gross profit/Product cost
Manufacturing overhead $799,000
Chairs Desks
Sales revenue $1,240,000 $2,286,900
Direct materials 587,000 830,000
Direct labor 150,000 320,000
Overhead 255,000 544,000
Product costs $992,000 $1,694,000
Gross profit $248,000 $592,900
Margin on cost 25% 35%
Expected margin 30% 30%
Expected Margin for desks in Year 2:
Desks
Sales revenue $2,286,900
Direct materials 830,000
Direct labor 320,000
Overhead 680,000
Product costs $1,830,000
Gross profit $456,900
Margin on cost 25%
Expected margin 30%
McNulty's new CFO has made a bad decision. Should the desks be eliminated also? Decisions involving overhead costs should not be made lightly. Detailed and precise information about the overhead costs should be obtained before a decision is taken on product elimination. This case demonstrates the reason for not taking a hasty decision on an issue like this.
Agreement and disagreement among economists Suppose that Yakov, an economist from a research institute in Texas, and Ana, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing over health insurance. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Ana: A popular topic for debate among politicians as well as economists is the idea of providing government assistance for health benefits.
Yakov: I think it is oppressive for the government to tax people who take care of themselves in order to pay for health insurance for those who are obese.
Ana: I disagree. I think government funding of health insurance is useful to ensure basic fairness. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due todifferences in values.
Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
A. Immigrants receive more in government benefits than they contribute in taxes.
B. Having a single income tax rate would improve economic performance.
C. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
Answer: C. Rent ceilings reduce the quantity and quality of available housing.
Explanation:
Economists for all their differences will most likely agree that Rent Ceilings reduce the quality and quantity of available housing.
This is because it lowers the incentive for landlords to improve their housing if they know that they cannot charge enough to benefit from this improvement.
Landlords will also build lower quality housing or not go into housing construction at all because the rent ceiling might mean that they are not making enough return to pay for the construction of the house.
The December 31, 2015, balance sheet of Schism, Inc., showed long-term debt of $1,405,000, $141,000 in the common stock account, and $2,660,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The December 31, 2016, balance sheet showed long-term debt of $1,590,000, $151,000 in the common stock account, and $2,960,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The 2016 income statement showed an interest expense of $94,500 and the company paid out $146,000 in cash dividends during 2016. The firm’s net capital spending for 2016 was $970,000, and the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $126,000.
What was the firm's 2016 operating cash flow, or OCF? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer: $589,500
Explanation:
The cash flow to the creditors in 2016 will be calculated as:
= $94,500 – ($1,590,000 - $1,405,000)
= $94,500 – $1,590,000 + $1,405,000
= -$90,500
For the shareholders, the cash flow in 2016 will be:
= $146,000 – [($151,000 + $2,960,000) – ($141,000 + $2,660,000)]
= -$164,000
Capital spending = $970,000
Cash flow due to the net working capital investment = -$126,000
OCF
= -$90,500 + (-$164,000) + $970,000 + (-$126,000)
= $589,500

What is the present value of these cash flows, given a 9 percent discount rate?
Answer:
Total PV= $15,489.73
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flows:
1= $4,921
2= $5,700
3= $8,000
Interest rate= 9%
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV1= = 4,921/1.09= 4,514.68
PV2= 5,700/1.09^2= 4,797.58
PV3= 8,000/1.09^3= 6,177.47
Total PV= $15,489.73
For each of the following incidents, determine whether the individuals will be motivated to behave as desired.
Frank Edwards is head basketball coach at a small regional state university, a campus of the state’s main university system. He has just had a visit with Walter Johnson, a local high school athlete who is clearly one of the state’s blue chip basketball prospects. Frank desperately needs a player of Walter’s potential to turn his mediocre team around, but he realizes that it won’t be easy to sign him. He is confident that he made it clear to Walter that there is a scholarship available for Walter if he wants it. He also knows that Walter needs a scholarship to be able to go to college. However, an article in the Sunday Sports section reports that two of the major state university coaches (larger schools upstate, with nationally known basketball programs) also intend to actively recruit Walter. Coach Edwards should take which of the following actions?
A. Send Walter a written and notarized offer of the scholarship.B. Write Walter's parents, stressing that the scholarship will cover all of his tuition, room and board, and book expenses.C. Write a letter to Walter stressing to him the value of a college education.D. Talk to Walter again, stressing the likelihood that he would make the starting five in his freshman year.E. Do nothing. Walter will probably sign with him anyway.
Answer:
C). Write a letter to Walter stressing to him the value of a college education.
Explanation:
The most ethical and moral action that Coach Edward should take in the given situation would be to 'write a letter to Walter stressing to him the value/significance of college education.' It would not only educate Walter regarding the crucial role that college education plays in defining the success and personality of an individual but also emphasize the benefits of joining the college team which would be vital to his overall career and give a direction to his skills. Thus, this would serve Coach Edwards' purpose ethically by making Walter understand the idea logically and convince him. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

An error understated Power Corporation's December 31, 2018, ending inventory by $54,000. What effect will this error have on total assets and net income for 2018?
Answer:
•The total Assets will be under stated by $54,000 in 2018.
•The Net income will also be understated by $54,000 in 2018.
Explanation:
In computing income statement, beginning inventory is usually added to net purchases, then minus ending inventory to arrive at cost of goods sold.
The cost of goods sold can also be computed as ;
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Net purchases - Ending inventory. What the above means is that if ending inventory is understated, then the cost of goods sold will be overstated.
The gross profit is arrived at by deducting cost of goods sold from net sales. So, if cost of goods sold is overstated, then the gross profit will be understated by same amount, whereas an overstated gross profit , will also over state net profit.
Inventory is an asset. When an inventory is understated, then the overall asset would also be understated by same amount.
True Nutri Inc. sells performance enhancing foods and beverages for athletes and health-conscious people. In a recent product development meeting, Mike suggested that True Nutri Inc. should acquire a new technology developed by One Health Corp. for infusing vitamin and mineral blends into food. He believed it would be easier to acquire the technology directly from One Health Corp. Justin felt that the method of infusing blends into food should be developed within True Nutri Inc. itself. He knows it may take longer but feels that the competitive advantage it would provide was worth the wait. Lara suggested that True Nutri Inc. should use its resources and work jointly with One Health Corp. to develop an entirely new product.
Based on the scenario, which method of acquiring technology does Justin favor?
a. internal development
b. licensing
c. contracted development
d. franchising
e. research partnership
Answer: a. internal development
Explanation:
Internal development is a method of growth and development that is done by using the resources of the company instead of relying on takeovers or acquisitions.
Justin wants True Nutri Inc to develop the tech itself without acquiring it from One Health Corp so he has an Internal Development mindset. Benefits of Internal Development include the development of a competitive advantage and increased efficiency which Justin hopes can benefit the company.

Task C has two immediate predecessors, Tasks A and B. Task C also has two immediate followers, Tasks D and E. Task A has an early finish time of 3 days, and Task B has an early finish time of 5 days. Task D has a late start time of 10 days and Task E has a late start time of 8 days. Task C is 2 days long. What is the early finish time of Task C
Answer:
7 days
Explanation:
Calculation for the early finish time of Task C
First step is to find the Early Start of task C
Using this formula
Early Start of task C = MAX (Early Finish of task A, Early Finish of task B)
Let plug in the formula
Early Start of task C= MAX(3,5)
Early Start of task C = 5
Now let calculate the Early Finish time of Task C
Using this formula
Earliest Finish = Earliest Start + Activity Duration
Let plug in the formula
Earliest Finish of task C = 5 + 2
Earliest Finish of task C = 7 days
Therefore the early finish time of Task C will be 7 days
The early finish time of task C is the sum of the early start time and the activity duration of the task. Hence, the early finish time of task C is 7 days.
Given the Parameters :
Activity time of task C = 2 days Early finish, Task A = 3 days Early finish, Task B = 5 daysThe early finish time of task C :
Early start time possible + Activity time of task C
Maximum value of the finish time of the preceeding task :
Early start time of task C = maximum(3, 5)
Early start time of task C = 5 days
Early finish time of C = 5 days + Activity time

c. Rejected the stockholder's request to vote via proxy because she was home sick.

Answer:
a. Paid the stockholder a smaller dividend per share than another common stockholder.
c. Rejected the stockholder's request to vote via proxy because she was home sick.
d. The company did not provide all stockholders with timely financial reports.
Explanation:
A shareholder is a person that has contributed to the equity of a company and holds shares as evidence of ownership.
Shareholders have right to recieve equal dividend as other common shareholders. There can only be a difference in dividend payouts when the other person has more shares.
They also have the right to vote via proxy in cases where they are not available. The proxy is duly appointed by the shareholder.
The company is also mandated to provide timely financial reports to all stockholders.
Shareholders however are not involved in daily running of the business. So they have no say in hiring and firing of employees.
Also common shareholders are paid dividend after preference share holders have been settled by the company.

The company's activity-based costing system contains the following six activity cost pools and activity rates:
Activity Cost Pool Activity Rates
Labor-related $7.00 per direct labor-hour
Machine-related $3.00 per machine-hour
Machine setups $40.00 per setup
Production orders $160.00 per order
Shipments $120.00 per shipment
General factory $4.00 per direct labor-hour
Cost and activity data have been supplied for the following products:
J78 B52
Direct materials cost per unit $6.50 $31.00
Direct labor cost per unit $3.75 $6.00
Number of units produced per year 4,000 100
Total Expected Activity J78 B52 Direct labor-hours 1,000 40
Machine-hours 3,200 30
Machine setups 5 1
Production orders 5 1
Shipments 10 1
Required:
Compute the unit product cost of each product listed above.
First, The unitary production cost J78 is = $15.95
Second The unitary production costB52 is = $45.4
How to Compute the unit Product Cost?Firstly, we need to allocate overhead to each product that is:
Then Allocated MOH is = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate × Actual amount of allocation base
The cost and activity data of J78:
The Labor-related is = 7.00×1,000= 7,000
Then Machine-related is = 3.00×3,200= 9,600
After that Machine setups is = 40.00×5= 200
Then Production orders is = 160.00×5= 800
Then Shipments is = 120.00×10= 1,200
The General factory is = 4.00×1,000= 4,000
Therefore, The Total overhead is = $22,800
Then the Unitary overhead is = 22,800/4,000= $5.7
The cost and activity data of B52:
The Labor-related is = 7.00×40= 280
Then Machine-related is = 3.00×30= 90
After that Machine setups is = 40.00×1= 40
Then Production orders is = 160.00×1= 160
Then Shipments is = 120.00×1= 120
After that General factory is = 4.00×40= 160
Therefore The Total overhead is = $850
Then Unitary overhead is = 850/100= $8.5
Now, we calculate the unitary production cost is:
The unitary production cost J78= 6.5 + 3.75 + 5.7= $15.95
The unitary production cost B52= 31 + 6 + 8.5= $45.4

Explanation:
Fidelity Stereo Company has provided the following information regarding its activity-based costing system:Purchasing department costs are allocated based on purchase orders, and the predetermined overhead allocation rate is $77 per purchase order.Assembly department costs are allocated based on the number of parts used, and the predetermined overhead allocation rate is $5 per part.Packaging department costs are allocated based on the number of units produced, and the predetermined overhead allocation rate is $4 per unit produced.Each stereo produced has 50 parts, and the direct materials cost per unit is $70. There are no direct labor costs. Fidelity Stereo has an order for 1200 stereos, which will require 45 purchase orders in all. What is the total cost for the 1200 stereos?a. $392,265b. $303,465c. $388,800d. $307,950
Answer:
a. $392, 265
Explanation:
Given that:
i. Purchasing department, overhead allocation rate is $77 per purchase order.
ii. Assembly department, overhead allocation rate is $5 per part.
iii. Packaging department, overhead allocation rate is $4 per unit.
iv. Direct material cost is $70 per unit.
v. Each stereo has 50 parts.
Total parts required = 1200 x 50
= 60000
vi. 45 purchase order was required for 1200 stereos.
Thus:
i. $77 x 45 = $3465
ii. $5 x 60000 = $300000
iii. $4 x 1200 = $4800
iv. $70 x 1200 = $84000
Therefore,
total cost for 1200 stereos = $3465 + $300000 + $4800 + $84000
= $392, 265
Beasley Industries' sales are expected to increase from $5 million in 2019 to $6 million in 2020, or by 20%. Its assets totaled $3 million at the end of 2019. Beasley is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities are $740,000, consisting of $160,000 of accounts payable, $450,000 of notes payable, and $130,000 of accrued liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and its dividend payout ratio is 50%. Using the AFN equation, forecast the additional funds Beasley will need for the coming year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
$
The AFN equation assumes that ratios remain constant. However, firms are not always operating at full capacity so adjustments need to be made to the existing asset forecast. Excess capacity adjustments are changes made to the existing asset forecast because the firm is not operating at full capacity. For example, a firm may not be at full capacity with respect to its fixed assets. First, the firm's management must find out the firm's full capacity sales as follows:
Next, management would calculate the firm's target fixed assets ratio as follows:
Finally, management would use the target fixed assets ratio with the projected sales to calculate the firm's required level of fixed assets as follows:
Required level of fixed assets = (Target fixed assets/Sales) × Projected sales
Quantitative Problem 2: Mitchell Manufacturing Company has $1,600,000,000 in sales and $310,000,000 in fixed assets. Currently, the company's fixed assets are operating at 70% of capacity.
A. What level of sales could Mitchell have obtained if it had been operating at full capacity? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
$
B. What is Mitchell's Target fixed assets/Sales ratio? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
%
C. If Mitchell's sales increase by 60%, how large of an increase in fixed assets will the company need to meet its Target fixed assets/Sales ratio? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
$
Answer:
Using the AFN equation, forecast the additional funds Beasley will need for the coming year.
EFN = (A/S) x (Δ Sales) - (L/S) x (Δ Sales) - (PM x FS x (1-d))
A/S = $3 / $5 = 0.6
ΔSales = $1,000,000
L/S = $290 / $5,000 = 0.058 (notes payable are not included)
PM = 4%
FS = $6,000,000
1 - d = 0.5
EFN = (0.6 x $1,000,000) - (0.058 x $1,000,000) - (0.04 x $6,000,000 x 0.5) = $600,000 - $58,000 - $120,000 = $422,000
A. What level of sales could Mitchell have obtained if it had been operating at full capacity?
$1,600,000,000 / 0.7 = $2,285,714,286
B. What is Mitchell's Target fixed assets/Sales ratio?
$310,000,000 / $2,285,714,286 = 0.14
C. If Mitchell's sales increase by 60%, how large of an increase in fixed assets will the company need to meet its Target fixed assets/Sales ratio?
required level of fixed assets = 0.14 x ($1,600,000,000 x 1.6) = $358,400,000
increase in fixed assets = $358,400,000 - $310,000,000 = $48,400,000
