The financial information for Pear Company is provided below: Sales $2.8 million Cost of goods sold $2.3 million Purchases $2.1 million Average receivables $0.6 million Average inventory $0.5 million Average payables $0.2 million The company's cash conversion cycle is closest to: (Choose the closest one.) Select one: A. 122 days B. 192 days C. 129 days D. 114 days
Answer:
A. 122 days
Explanation:
The computation of the cash conversion cycle is shown below:
= DAys sales outstanding + days inventory outstanding - days payable outstanding
where
Days sales outstanding is
= 365 ÷ $2.8 ÷ $0.6
= 78.16 days
The days inventory oustandings is
= 365 ÷ $2.3 ÷ $0.5
= 79.35 days
And, the days payable outstanding is
= 365 ÷ $2.1 ÷ $0.2
= 34.76 days
Now the cash conversion cycle is
= 78.16 days + 79.35 days - 34.76 days
= 122.75 days
= 122 days
TB MC Qu. 13-81 (Algo) A customer has requested that ABC Corporation... A customer has requested that ABC Corporation fill a special order for 2,800 units of product S47 for $32 a unit. While the product would be modified slightly for the special order, product S47's normal unit product cost is $17.70: Direct materials $ 5.20 Direct labor 3.00 Variable manufacturing overhead 2.30 Fixed manufacturing overhead 7.20 Unit product cost $ 17.70 Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product S47 that would increase the variable costs by $1.30 per unit and that would require an investment of $16,000.00 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:
Answer:
Financial advantage $40,560
Explanation:
A special order request is financially worthy if the sales revenue from the special order is over and above the relevant cost of producing it.
The relevant variable cost will be determined as follows
Unit variable cost =5.20+ 3 +2.30+ 1.30= 11.8
Special machine= 16,000
$
Sales from special order (2,800× $32) = 89,600
Variable cost ( 2800 × $11.8)= (30,000 ) (33,040)
Investment in special machine (16,000)
Financial advantage 40,560
Note that the fixed manufacturing overheads were not included in the analysis, simply because they are not relevant. In other words, whether or not the special order is accepted these fixed costs would be concurred either way.
Financial advantage $40,560

February 350,000
March 510,000
58% of sales are expected to be collected in the month of the sale
37% in the month following the sale
5% in the second month following the sale
Cash collection January:
Cash from sales in account January= (310,000*0.58)= 179,800
Total cash collection= $179,800
Cash collection February:
Cash from sales in account January= (310,000*0.37)= 114,700
Cash from sales in account February= (350,000*0.58)= 203,000
Total cash collection= $317,700
Cash collection March:
Cash from sales in account January= (310,000*0.05)= 15,500
Cash from sales in account February= (350,000*0.37)= 129,500

Fill in the missing numbers for the following income statement. (Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Sales Costs Depreciation EBIT Taxes (22%) Net income 747,300 582,600 89,300
a. Calculate the OCF. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. What is the depreciation tax shield? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
a. OCF
b. Depreciation tax shield
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Sales = 747300
Less: Costs = 582600
Less: Depreciation = 89300
EBIT = 75400
Less: Taxes at 22% = 22% × 75400 = 16588
Net income = EBIT - Taxes = 75400 - 16588 = 58812
a. Calculate the OCF.
OCF will be calculated as:
= Net income + Depreciation
= 58812 + 89300
= 148,112
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?
Depreciation tax shield will be:
= Depreciation × Tax rate
= 89300 × 22%
= 89300 × 0.22
= 19646
For February, sales revenue is $700,000, sales commissions are 5% of sales, the sales manager's salary is $96,000, advertising expenses are $90,000, shipping expenses total 2% of sales, and miscellaneous selling expenses are $2,500 plus 1/2 of 1% of sales. Total selling expenses for the month of February area.$161,000b.$235,000c.$241,000d.$237,500
Answer:
C. $241,000
Explanation:
Sales commission = $35,000 (5% of $ 700,000)
Salary of sales manager = $96,000
Advertising expenses = $90,000
Shipping expenses = $14,000 (2% of $ 700,000)
Miscellaneous selling expenses = $6,000
($ 2,500 add 1/2 * 1% * $ 700,000)
Total = $241,000
Heidi (age 57) invested $4,000 in her Roth 401(k) on January 1, 2012. This was her only contribution to the account. On July 1, 2020, when the account balance was $6,000, she received a nonqualified distribution of $4,500. What is the taxable portion of the distribution and what amount of early distribution penalty will Heidi be required to pay on the distribution
Answer:
$450
Explanation:
For a ROTH 401 (k) qualified distribution to be non-taxable, either of the following conditions should be met:
1. Individual should be more 59 and a half years old or more.
2. Has held the account for 5 years or more.
In this case, Heidi invested at the age of 57 and received distribution of $4,500 after 8 years. So she meets both criteria but the type of distribution she received is a non-qualified one. So, $4,500 is subject to tax as per ordinary income at 10% that is $450 (0.1*4,500).
Heidi is not subject to any amount if early distribution penalty as she meets both criteria.
Tolbotics Inc. is considering a three-year project that will require an initial investment of $44,000. If market demand is strong, Tolbotics Inc. thinks that the project will generate cash flows of $29,500 per year. However, if market demand is weak, the company believes that the project will generate cash flows of only $2,000 per year. The company thinks that there is a 50% chance that demand will be strong and a 50% chance that demand will be weak.
If the company uses a project cost of capital of 14%, what will be the expected net present value (NPV) of this project if the company is ignoring the timing option?
a. -$3,435
b. -$3,779
c. -$3,092
d. -$3,607
Answer:
Expected value NPV =$-,7434
Explanation:
The Expected Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of Expected value cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good and profitable investment project and a negative figure implies the opposite.
Expected value NPV = PV of expected value cash inflow - PV of cash outflow
Present value of cash inflow:
The expected cash in flows is the sum of the cash inflows multiplied by their respective probabilities. For Tolbotics it is calculated as follows:
Expected cash inflows=m (29,500× 0.5) + (2,000× 0.5)=15,750
NPV = 15,750× (1-1.14^(-3)/0.14) - 44,000=-7434.
Expected value NPV =$-7,434

Trainees are put through a two-month school. The fixed cost of running one session of this school is $150,000. Any number of sessions can be run during the year but must be scheduled so that the airline always has enough flight attendants. The cost of having excess attendants is simply the salary that they receive, which is $15,000 per month. How many sessions of the school
Answer:
The airline training school can run maximum of 10 sessions.
Explanation:
There can be 10 sessions which can be held at the training school. The airline school needs to have enough attendants so that they do not run a session in spare capacity. If a session is run with few attendants then it will cost $15,000 per session which is an additional cost burden for the airline training school.
Wallace Company provides the following data for next year: MonthBudgeted Sales January$ 120,000 February 108,000 March 132,000 April 144,000 The gross profit rate is 35 % of sales. Inventory at the end of December is $ 21,600 and target ending inventory level are 20 % of next month's sales, stated at cost. What is the amount of purchases budget for January
Answer:
$70440
Explanation:
Given data :
Month Budgeted sales
January $120,000
February $108,000
March $132,000
April $144,000
Gross profit rate = 35% of sales
Inventory at end of December = $21600
Target ending inventory level = 20% of next month sales
Determine the amount of purchases budget for January
First step : calculate
Cost of goods for January = Budgeted sales - Gross profit
= $120,000 - $42,000 = $78000
Next : determine ending inventory in January
= 20% * ( Budgeted sales in Feb * 65% )
= 20% * ($108000 * 65%) = $14040
Determine budgeted purchase using the Relation below
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Budgeted purchases - Ending inventory
78,000 = 21600 + Budgeted purchases - 14040
therefore
Budgeted purchases for January = ( 78,000 + 14040 - 21600 )
= $70440

You are comparing two companies in the same industry. You have determined that Gore Corp. depreciates its plant assets over a 40-year life, whereas Ross Corp. depreciates its plant assets over a 20-year life. Discuss the implications this has for comparing the results of the two companies.
Answer:
Gore Corp. is depreciating over a longer term than Ross Corp. This means that on a yearly basis, they will have less depreciation expenses. This would give them a higher net income than Ross Corp but as a result they will then have to pay a higher tax.
Ross Corp on the other hand will be depreciating over a shorter term so this would mean that they are recognizing a higher depreciation expense per year. This would mean that their net income will be lower and by extension their taxes will be lower as well.
Fill in the blanks to complete the sentence. A manufacturing company has budgeted production at 5,000 units for May and 4,400 units in June. Each unit requires 3 pounds of materials at a cost of $10 per pound. On May 1, there are 2,750 pounds of materials on hand. The company desires an ending inventory of 60% of the next month's materials requirements. The total cost of direct materials purchases for May will be $ .
Answer:
Direct material purchases in May = 21,670× $10= $216,700
Explanation:
Material purchase budget is determined by adding the closing inventory of material to the material usage budget less the opening inventory.
Material budgets for May will be prepared as follows:
Materials needed for May production = 5,500 × 3 = 16,500
Materials needed for June production = 4,400× 3= 13,200
Closing inventory of raw material in May =60% × June requirement = 60% × 13,200 =7,920
Material purchase budget for February = Usage budget + closing inventory - opening inventory
= 16,500 + 7,920- 2,750=21,670
Direct material purchases in May = 21,670× $10= $216,700

Advanced Enterprises reports year−end information from 2019 as follows: Sales (160,250 units) $969,000 Cost of goods sold (641,000) Gross margin 328,000 Operating expenses (268,000) Operating income $60,000 Advanced is developing the 2020 budget. In 2020 the company would like to increase selling prices by 13.5%, and as a result expects a decrease in sales volume of 10%. All other operating expenses are expected to remain constant. Assume that cost of goods sold is a variable cost and that operating expenses are a fixed cost. What is budgeted cost of goods sold
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = $576,900
Explanation:
The budgeted cost of goods sold will be the sales volume in 2020 multiplied by cost per unit .
Sales volume in year 2020= (100-10)% × sales figure for 2019
= 90% × 160,250= 144,225
Cost of goods sold per unit = cost of goods sold in 2019/Sales units in 2019
= 641,000/160250=$4
Cost of goods sold = $4× 144,225 = $576,900
Cost of goods sold = $576,900
Rooney Corporation is considering the elimination of one of its segments. The segment incurs the following fixed costs. If the segment is eliminated, the building it uses will be sold. Advertising expense $ 81,000 Supervisory salaries 170,000 Allocation of companywide facility-level costs 65,000 Original cost of building 118,000 Book value of building 62,000 Market value of building 84,000 Maintenance costs on equipment 73,000 Real estate taxes on building 12,000 Required Determine the amount of avoidable cost associated with the segment.

Dwyer Company reported the following results for the year ended December 31, 2007, its first year of operations: 2007 Income (per books before income taxes) $ 1,500,000 Taxable income 2,400,000 The disparity between book income and taxable income is attributable to a temporary difference which will reverse in 2008. What should Dwyer record as a net deferred tax asset or liability for the year ended December 31, 2007, assuming that the enacted tax rates in effect are 40% in 2007 and 35% in 2008?
Answer: $315,000 deferred tax asset
Explanation:
The amount that Dwyer should record as a net deferred tax asset or liability for the year ended December 31, 2007 will be calculated thus:
= ($2400000 – $1500000) × 35%
= $900000 × 35%
= $900000 × 35/100
= $900000 × 0.35
= $315000.
Therefore, the answer is $315,000 deferred tax asset
Sheila and Jim live in an island where they are the only two workers. Sheila can either catch 10 fish or gather 40 pounds of berries each day, and Jim can either catch 8 fish or gather 24 pounds of berries each day. Both of them work 200 days per year. At current world prices 1 fish trades for 3.5 pounds of berries. Who has the comparative advantage in producing berries
Answer:
SHEILA
Explanation:
A person has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people.
Sheila's opportunity cost in producing berries = 10/40 = 0.25
Jim's opportunity cost in producing berries = 8/24 = 0.33
Sheila has a lower opportunity cost in the production of berries and thus has a comparative advantage in the production of berries
