b. Would it be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 1,400 mile month. Yes or No
Given the above information,
a. Total number of miles driven = 1.529 miles
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost × Number of miles driven
= $320 + $0.14 × 1,529
= $320 + $214.06
= $534.06
b. Since $320 per month is the fixed, the fixed cost per mile will decrease with the increase in number of miles driven . It means that if he drives less than 1,400 miles , the actual cost will be more than the cost based on predetermined overhead rate of the cost.
No. It would not be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 1,400 mile month.
Comcast (CMCSA) is trading at 54.33. You decide to short sell 100 shares of their stock, providing 2850 in collateral to your broker. You hold the short position for one year and expect Comcast to pay a dividend of 1 per share. In one year, the stock price is 56. Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, what is your return, relative to your collateral
Answer: =-9.34%
Explanation:
Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, the return, relative to the collateral will be calculated as:
= (Short sell price - dividend - Share buy price)/Capital employed
= (5433 - 100 - 5600) / 2850
= -267 / 2850
= -0.09368
=-9.34%
Note:
Short sell price = 54.33 × 100 = 5433
Dividend = 100
Share buy price = 56 × 100 = 5600
Based on your understanding of P/E ratios, in which of the following situations would the average trailing P/E ratio (current price divided by earnings per share over the previous 12 months) of the S&P 500 Index be higher? The outlook for the economy and the markets is for a downturn. The outlook for the economy and the markets is for an improvement.
Answer:
The outlook for the economy and the markets is for an improvement.
Explanation:
p/e ratio = price / earning
the higher the equity, the lower the ratio
If the p/e ratio is expected to be higher, it means that the equity would have to be lower this year than next year .
this implies that earnings would be higher next year and p/e ratio would be lower. this means there is a positive economic outlook
You purchased 100 shares of MegaCorp for $17 per share four months ago. The brokerage fee was 4% of the total dollar amount of the purchase. Today you sold the shares for $23.50 per share. Brokerage fees were 4% of the total sale value. If you are in the .28 marginal tax bracket, how much tax do you owe (rounded to the nearest dollar) on the capital gain
Answer: $136.64 Owed on Capital gain.
Explanation:
Base on the information given in the question, the tax owed on the capital gain will be calculated thus:
Total purchase cost = 100 × $17 + [(100 × $17) × 4%]
= $1700 + ($1700 × 0.04)
= $1700 + $68
= $1,768
We than calculate the net sale consideration which will be:
= 100 × $23.50 - [(100 × $23.50) × 4%]
= $2350 - ($2350 × 0.04)
= $2350 - $94
= $2,256
Then, the short term capital gain will be:
= $2,256 - $1,768
= $488
The tax on short term capital gain will be:
= $488 × 28%
= $488 × 0.28
= $136.64

Softwind Manufacturing anticipates annual sales of 40,000 units and has the following information regarding one of its products: Annual unit sales 40,000 Fixed manufacturing costs $ 22 Variable manufacturing costs 44 Variable selling and administrative costs 16 Fixed selling and administrative costs 8 Desired profit per unit 18 If Softwind uses cost-plus pricing based on absorption manufacturing cost, what is the sales price Softwind will charge for this product
Answer:
Selling price= $84
Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Unitary cost= varaible manufacturing cost + fixed manufacturing cost
Unitary cost= 44 + 22= $66
Selling price= 66 + 18
Selling price= $84
Entity B bought equipment for $240,000 on January 1, 2021. It estimated the useful life to be 3 years with no salvage value, and the straight-line method of depreciation was used. On January 1, 2022, Entity B decides that it will use the equipment for a total of 5 years. Compute the revised depreciation expense for 2022 and make the entry to record depreciation expense. Show work.
Answer:
Part 1
Revised depreciation expense = $32,000
Part 2
The entry to record depreciation expense :
Debit : Depreciation Expense $32,000
Credit : Accumulated Depreciation $32,000
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed depreciation charge over the year of use of an asset.
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated Useful Life
2021
Depreciation expense = $80,000
2022
Old Depreciation expense = $80,000
New Depreciation expense = Depreciable Amount ÷ Remaining Useful Life
= ($240,000 - $80,000) ÷ 5
= $32,000

The manufacturing overhead budget at Polich Corporation is based on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,400 direct labor-hours will be required in February. The variable overhead rate is $8.50 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $108,780 per month, which includes depreciation of $18,080. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows.The company recomputes its predetermined overhead rate every month. The predetermined overhead rate for February should be:_____.
a. $193.690.
b. $211,850.
c. $112,940.
d. $80,750.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The computation of overhead rate for February is seen below
First, we need to determine the fixed manufacturing overhead per labor hour
Fixed manufacturing overhead per direct labor hour = Total manufacturing overhead ÷ Total direct labor hours
= $108,780 ÷ 7,400
= $14.7
Predetermined overhead rate = Variable overhead rate + Fixed manufacturing overhead rate
= $8.50 + $14.70
= $23.2 per direct labor hour

Private producers have no incentive to provide public goods because A. the government subsidy granted is usually insufficient to enable private producers to make a profit. B. production of huge quantities of public goods entails huge fixed costs.
Answer:
Private producers have no incentive to provide public goods because
B. production of huge quantities of public goods entails huge fixed costs.
Explanation:
There is rivalry in the production and consumption of private goods. This rivalry is generally described as competition. Most public goods are produced naturally or provided by the government to her citizens. Since they are made available for the welfare of the people, there is usually no cost recovery or exclusion of persons based on financial affordability. But private goods are manufactured and sold by private companies or individuals for a profit motive.
A retired auto mechanic hopes to open a customizing shop for installing heated or ventilated seats. Two locations are being considered, one in the center of the city and one on the outskirts. The central city location would involve fixed monthly costs of $6,500 and labor, materials, and transportation costs of $20 per car. The outside location would have fixed monthly costs of $3,900 and labor, materials, and transportation costs of $30 per car. Dealer price at either location will be $80 per car. a. Which location will yield the greatest profit if monthly demand is (1) 150 cars
Answer:
Outskrits
Explanation:
The Cost of labor and materials is quite a bit less than if in the middle of town, in the big picture that 10 dollar difference in transportation is nothing in the long run. The only problem is as your not a big pass-by kinda place you might not get as many customers from it as you might like. Saving money is a key but a good product is the door to fortune.
An object was thrown from rest upward with an initial velocity of 10m/s with time frame of 6s find the distance of the object from it's resting point
Answer:
5.10 m
Explanation:
Given that :
Initial Velocity, u = 10m/s
Time taken, t = 6s
Distance traveled by the object , s
The final velocity, v at this point = 0
Upward throw, g = - (negative)
Using the relation :
u² =. V²-2gs
g = 9.8 m/s
10² = 0² - 2(9.8)*S
100 = 19.6S
S = 100 / 19.6
Distance traveled = 5.10 m
Amber Company had $153,200 of net income in 2016 when the selling price per unit was $153, the variable costs per unit were $93, and the fixed costs were $574,100. Management expects per unit data and total fixed costs to remain the same in 2017. The president of Naylor Company is under pressure from stockholders to increase net income by $62,200 in 2017.
a) Compute the number of units sold in 2016.
b) Compute the number of units that would have to be sold in 2017 to reach the stockholders' desired profit level.
c) Assume that naylor company sells the same number of units in 2017 as it did in 2016. What would the selling price have to be in order to reacch the stockholders' desired profit level?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1) Number of unit sold in 2016 is
As we know that
Total contribution margin is
= Fixed cost + Net income
= $153,200 + $574,100
= $727,300
And, the Contribution margin per unit is
= $153 - $93
= 60 per unit
So, the Number of unit sold in 2016 is
= $727,300 ÷ 60
= 12,122 Units
2) Number of unit sold is
= ($574,100 + $153,200 + $62,200) ÷ 60
= 13,158 Units
3) The selling price is
Break even = (Fixed cost + Desired profit) ÷ Contribution margin
12,122 = ($574,100 + $153,200 + $622,00) ÷ (X - $93)
12,122X - $1,127,346 = $789,500
12,122X = $1,916,846
X(Selling price) = $1,916,846 ÷ 12122
= $158 per unit
Bridge City Consulting bought a building and the land on which it is located for $175,000 cash. The land is estimated to represent 70 percent of the purchase price. The company paid $20,000 for building renovations before it was ready for use. Compute straight-line depreciation on the building at the end of one year, assuming an estimated 10-year useful life and a $19,500 estimated residual value. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) What should be the book value of (a) the land and (b) the building at the end of year 2
Answer:
Part 1
D.E = $5,300
Part 2
a. Book Value = $61,900
b. Book Value = $122,500
Explanation:
Step 1 : Determine the Cost of Buildings
Separate the Cost of Land and the Cost of Building from the Purchase Price
Calculation of the Cost of Building
Purchase Price ($175,000 x 30%) $52,500
Building Renovations $20,000
Total $72,500
Step 2 : Depreciation calculation
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Useful Life
= ($72,500 - $19,500) ÷ 10
= $5,300
After Year 2
Buildings :
Accumulated Depreciation = $10,600
Book Value = $72,500 - $10,600 = $61,900
Land
Book Value = $175,000 x 70% = $122,500
Note : Land is not depreciated
McConnell Corporation has bonds on the market with 12 years to maturity, a YTM of 10.0 percent, a par value of $1,000, and a current price of $1,226.50. The bonds make semiannual payments. What must the coupon rate be on these bonds
Answer:
13.28%
Explanation:
The computation of the coupon rate is shown below
But before that determine the PMT
Given that
NPER = 12 × 2 = 24
RATE = 10% ÷ 2 = 5%
PV = $1,226.50
FV = $1,000;
The formula is shown below
= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the monthly payment is
= $66.41 × 2
= $132.82
Now the coupon rate is
= $132.82 ÷ $1,000
= 13.28%

A customer’s specification for weight of an antiseptic cream sold in plastic tubes is 4.00 ounces ± 0.02 ounces. The target process capability ratio is 1.00. At Brooklyn Pharmaceuticals, the current distribution of the filling process is centered on 4.005 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.004 ounces. Compute Cp and Cpk and report whether the filling process is capable of delivering to customer specifications?
Customer Specification 3.98
Process Average 4.005
Process Standard Deviation 0.004
Answer:
Cp = 1.667
Cpk = 1.25
The filling process will deliver the customer's specifications since Cp > 1 and Cpk > 1
Explanation:
Given data:
Customer Specification 3.98 4.02
Process Average 4.005
Process Standard Deviation 0.004
Calculate the Cp and Cpk values
Cp = Δ customer specification / ( 6 * std )
= (4.02 - 3.98 ) / ( 6 * 0.04 )
= 0.04 / 0.24 = 0.1667 + 1 = 1.667
Cpk ( upper ) = ( 4.02 - process average ) / ( 3* std )
= ( 4.02 - 4.005 ) / ( 3 * 0.004 ) = 1.25
Cpk ( lower ) = ( process average - 3.98 ) / ( 3 * std )
= ( 4.005 - 3.98 ) / ( 3 * 0.04 ) = 2.083
Cpk = minimum value of Cpk = 1.25
One year ago, Jack and Jill set up a vinegar-bottling firm (called JJVB). Use the question facts to calculate JJVB's opportunity cost of production during its first year of operation.

Explanation:
The opportunity costs incurred by Jack and Jill include:
Wages of $15,000 paid to employeeCost of equipment and goods and services Interest sacrificed on capital put into businessSalary that Jack gave upHours of leisure given up by JillDepreciation of equipmentOpportunity costs were therefore:
= 15,000 + 30,000 + 10,000 + (30,000 * 5%) + 40,000 + (25 * 10 * 50 weeks) + (30,000 - 28,000)
= $111,000
Natchez, Inc. is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $200,000. The company will incur $5,000 per year in cash operating expenses but it will allow the company to earn an additional $100,000 per year in revenues. Natchez expects the machine to provide future benefits for 3 years and salvage value at the end of the 3-year period to be $10,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation method. The income tax rate is 30%. If the required rate of return is 10%, how much is the net present value of this project
Answer:
$20,138.74
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
To determine cash flow, use this formula
Cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(200,000 - 10,000) / 3 = 63,333
(100,000 - 5000 - 63,333) x ( 1 - 0.3) + 63,333 = 85499.90
Cash flow in year 0 = $-200,000
Cash flow in year 1 = 85499.90
Cash flow in year 2 = 85499.90
Cash flow in year 3 = 85499.90 + 10,000 = 95,499.90
I = 10
NPV = $20,138.74
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Assume the following information appears in the standard cost card for a company that makes only one product: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 5 pounds $ 11.00 per pound $ 55.00 Direct labor 2 hours $ 18.30 per hour $ 36.60 Variable manufacturing overhead 2 hours $ 3.00 per hour $ 6.00 During the most recent period, the following additional information was available: 20,000 pounds of material was purchased at a cost of $10.50 per pound. All of the material that was purchased was used to produce 3,900 units. 8,000 direct labor-hours were recorded at a total cost of $132,000. What is the direct labor rate variance
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $14,400 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor 2 hours $ 18.30 per hour $ 36.60
8,000 direct labor hours were recorded at a total cost of $132,000
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (18.3 - 16.5)*8,000
Direct labor rate variance= $14,400 favorable
Actual rate= 132,000/8,000= $16.5

Variable selling and admin 300,000 450,000
Total variable costs $1,080,000 $1,620,000
Contribution margin $900,000 $1,350,000
Fixed costs:
Fixed manufacturing costs 540,000 540,000
Fixed selling and admin 50,000 50,000
Total fixed costs $590,000 $590,000
Net income $310,000 $760,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per unit = $32
Expected unit sales 60,000 90,000
Production units 60,000 90,000
Beginning inventory = 0
Selling price per unit = $33
Variable manufacturing costs = $13 per unit
Fixed manufacturing costs = $540,000
Variable selling and administrative expenses = $5
Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $50,000
b) The key difference lies with the treatment of fixed and variable costs. With absorption costing, the fixed manufacturing costs are included in the costs of products. With variable costing, they are treated as period costs or expenses. Also, with variable costing, variable selling and administrative costs are included in the variable costs of the products. The variable costing method calculates the contribution margin before deducting the fixed expenses to arrive at the net income. On the other hand, the absorption costing method calculates the gross profit instead of the contribution margin.
Mission Corp. borrowed $50,000 cash on April 1, 2019, and signed a one-year 12%, interest-bearing note payable. The interest and principal are both due on March 31, 2020. Assume that the appropriate adjusting entry was made on December 31, 2019 and that no adjusting entries have been made during 2020. How much interest expense should Mission Corp. record on March 31, 2020?
Answer:
The amount of interest expense that Mission Corp. should record on March 31, 2020 is $1,500.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Monthly interest expense = (Amount borrowed * Interest rate) / Number of months in a year = ($50,000 * 12%) / 12 = $500
Remaining number of months = Number of months from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020 = 3
Interest expense to record on March 31, 2020 = Monthly interest expense * Remaining number of months = $500 * 3 = $1,500
Muscat Sayarati Co. uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on labor-hours . The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $525,000, variable manufacturing overhead of $6.00 per labor -hour, and 35,000 abor-hours. The job sheet of Job G828 shows that the number of units in this job order is 45 units which incurred total of 90 labor-hours. This job consumed \$14/unit of direct materials cost and \$64/unit of direct labor costs. What would be the ?total cost for Job G828 approximately
Answer:
$810
Explanation:
Calculation to determine cost for Job G828
Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost = $525,000 + ($6.00× 35,000) = 315,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $315,000 ÷ 35,000 = $9
Overhead applied to a particular job = $9×90 = $810.

Marshall Motor Homes currently sells 1,160 Class A motor homes, 2,170 Class C motor homes, and 1,600 pop-up trailers each year. It is considering adding a midrange camper and expects that if it does so the firm can sell 800 of them. However, if the new camper is added, the firm expects its Class A sales to decline by 8 percent while the Class C camper sales decline to 1,950 units. The sales of pop-ups will not be affected. Class A motor homes sell for an average of $179,000 each. Class C homes are priced at $64,500, and the pop-ups sell for $5,700 each. The new midrange camper will sell for $26,900. What is the erosion cost of the new camper
Answer:
$30,801,200
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the erosion cost of the new camper
Erosion cost (new camper) = [0.08 × 1,160 × $179,000] + [(2,170 − 1,950) × $64,500]
Erosion cost (new camper)=$16,611,200+$14,190,000
Erosion cost (new camper) = $30,801,200
Therefore the erosion cost of the new camper will be $30,801,200
