c) If fixed costs increases by $80,000, the break-even point in sales revenue
= $945,455
d) Dollar Sales Revenue required to provide an after-tax net income of $250,000 is:
= $1,375,375
e) Abbreviated Contribution Income Statement
Sales revenue $1,375,375
Variable costs = 618,919
Contribution = $756,456
Fixed costs 440,000
Before tax income 316,456
Income tax (21%) 66,458
After-tax income $249,998
equivalent to $250,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
CLIFF CONSULTING
Contribution Income Statement
For the Year Ended September 30
Sales revenue $ 1,200,000
Variable costs
Cost of services $ 480,000
Selling and administrative 60,000 540,000
Contribution margin 660,000
Fixed Costs -selling and administrative 440,000
Before-tax profit 220,000
Income taxes (21%) 46,200
After-tax profit $ 173,800
Break-even point in sales revenue = Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio
= $440,000/0.55
= $800,000
Annual margin of safety = normal sales revenue minus break-even sales revenue
= $1,200,000 - $800,000
= $400,000
Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin/sales revenue * 100
= $660,000/$1,200,000 * 100 = 55%
If fixed costs increases by $80,000, the break-even point in sales revenue
= ($440,000 + $80,000)/0.55 = $520,000/0.55 = $945,455
To achieve after-tax net income of $250,000, the required dollar sales revenue:
Net income after-tax = $250,000
Tax rate = 21%
Net income before tax = $250,000/1-21%
= $250,000/0.79 = $316,456
Sales dollars to achieve target profit = (Fixed costs + Target Profit/1 - 0.21)/Contribution margin
= ($440,000 + ($250,000/0.79))/0-55
= ($440,000 + $316,456)/0.55
= $756,456/0.55
= $1,375,375
Abbreviated Contribution Income Statement
Sales revenue $1,375,375
Variable costs = 618,919
Contribution = $756,456
Fixed costs 440,000
Before tax income 316,456
Income tax (21%) 66,458
After-tax income $249,998
After-tax income is equivalent to $250,000
Edith Carolina is president of the Deed Corporation. The company is decentralized, and leaves investment decisions up to the discretion of the division managers. Michael Sanders, manager of the Cosmetics Division, has had a return on investment of 14% for his division for the past three years and expects the division to have the same return in the coming year. Sanders has the opportunity to invest in a new line of cosmetics which is expected to have a return on investment of 12%. The company's minimum required rate of return is 8%. If the Deed Corporation evaluates managerial performance using residual income based on the corporate minimum required rate of return of 8%, what decision would be preferred by Edith Carolina and Michael Sanders?
Carolina Sanders
A) accept reject
B) reject accept
C) accept accept
D) reject reject
A. Choice A.
B. Choice B.
C. Choice C.
D. Choice D.
Answer: A. Choice A.
Explanation:
When using the residual income based on a corporate minimum required rate of return, an investment that provides a return higher than the required return should be accepted.
Edith Carolina would therefore accept this investment as it offers an ROI of 12% which is higher than the company required rate of return of 12%.
Michael Sanders would however reject it as it falls short of the 14% ROI that he expects his division to maintain.
A machine purchased three years ago for $306,000 has a current book value using straight-line depreciation of $190,000; its operating expenses are $38,000 per year. A replacement machine would cost $222,000, have a useful life of eleven years, and would require $10,000 per year in operating expenses. It has an expected salvage value of $76,000 after eleven years. The current disposal value of the old machine is $86,000; if it is kept 11 more years, its residual value would be $10,000. Required Calculate the total costs in keeping the old machine and purchase a new machine. Should the old machine be replaced
Answer:
A. Total Cost Old machine $424,000
Total Cost New machine $256,000
B. Yes
Explanation:
A..Calculation to determine the total costs in keeping the old machine and purchase a new machine.
OLD MACHINE NEW MACHINE
Opportunity cost/Purchase value=
(86,000-10,000) = $76,000 (222,000-76,000) = $146,000
Operating cost
(38,000*11) = 348,000 (10,000*11) = 110,000
Total Cost $424,000 $256,000
Old machine=($76,000+348,000=$424,000)
New machine=($146,000+$110,000=$156,000)
Therefore the total costs in keeping the old machine is $424,000 and purchasing a new machine is $256,000
2. Yes based on the above calculation the old machine should be replaced as the cost is higher.

J.Crew is planning a new line of jackets for fall. It plans to sell the jackets for $100. It is having the jackets produced in the Dominican Republic. Although J. Crew does not own the factory, its product development and design costs are $400,000. The total cost of the jacket, including transportation to the stores, is $45.
1. What is the breakeven quantity for this item? That is, the number that J. Crew will need to sell in order to not lose money?(Treat product development and design costs [$400,000] as fixed, cost of each jacket including transportation [$45] as unit variable cost)
a. 6.846 jackets
b. 7,273 jackets
c. 9,118 jackets
d. 8,435 jackets
2. What is the breakeven point, in sales revenue dollars?
a. $727,300
b. $684,600
c. $843,500
d. $911,800
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 400,000 / (100 - 45)
Break-even point in units= 7,273
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 400,000 / 0.55
Break-even point (dollars)= $727,300
Contribution margin ratio= contribution margin / selling price per unit
Contribution margin ratio= 55 / 100= 0.55
f-1. Assume that no intra-entity inventory or land sales occurred between Placid Lake and Scenic. Instead, on January 1, 2020, Scenic sold equipment (that originally cost $170,000 but had a $84,000 book value on that date) to Placid Lake for $118,000. At the time of sale, the equipment had a remaining useful life of five years. What worksheet entries are made for a December 31, 2021, consolidation of these two companies to eliminate the impact of the intra-entity transfer
Answer:
Journal 1
Debit : Other Income $34,000
Credit : Equipment $34,000
Journal 2
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $6,800
Credit : depreciation $6,800
Explanation:
Step 1 : Eliminate the Income resulting from sale and the additional value of equipment sitting in the buyer books
Income = Selling Price - Carrying Amount
where,
Carrying Amount = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
= $84,000
therefore,
Income = $118,000 - $84,000 = $34,000
Journal;
Debit : Other Income $34,000
Credit : Equipment $34,000
Step 2 : Eliminate the unrealized profit as a result of additional asset value
unrealized profit = income ÷ remaining useful life
= $34,000 ÷ 5
= $6,800
Journal;
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $6,800
Credit : depreciation $6,800

The cost function for Acme Laundry is
C(q) = 20 + 30q + q2
where q is tons of laundry cleaned. What q should the firm choose so as to maximize its profit if the market price is p?
The output level at which the firm's profit is maximized as a function of p is____.
If p = 100, then Acme Laundry should____produce units.
Answer:
Explanation:
The profit function will be:
π = Total revenue - Total cost
where,
Total revenue = price × quantity= pq
Total cost = 20 + 30q + q²
π = pq - (20 + 30q + q²)
π = pq - 20 - 30q - q²
Then we maximize profit with respect to q which will be:
dπ/dq = p - 30 - 2q
We then equate the profit function to 0.
p - 30 - 2q = 0
p - 2q = 30
2q = p - 30
q = (p - 30)/2
When p = 100, the number of units that should be produced will be:
= (p - 30)/2
= (100 - 30)/2
= 70/2
= 35 units

Park Co. is considering an investment that requires immediate payment of $27,215 and provides expected cash inflows of $8,400 annually for four years. Assume Park Co. requires a 8% return on its investments. 1-a. What is the net present value of this investment
Answer:
the net present value is $606.64
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below:
But before that the present value of annual cash inflows is to be determined i.e.
Present value = annual cash flows × PVIFA(8%,4years)
= $8,400 × 3.3121
= $27,821.64
Now
Net present value = Present value of cash flows - initial investment
= $27,821.64 - $27,215
= $606.64
Hence, the net present value is $606.64
What would it cost an insurance company to replace a family's personal property that originally cost $25,000? The replacement costs
for the items have increased 15 percent.
Answer:
the replacement cost is $28,750
Explanation:
The computation of the replacement cost is shown below:
= Cost of the personal property × (1 + increased percentage)
= $25,000 × (1 + 0.15)
= $25,000 × 1.15
= $28,750
Hence, the replacement cost is $28,750
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value of the replacement cost could come

Cash Flow Select Chart Amount x PV Factor = Present Value
Annual cash flow Present Value of an Annuity of 1 =
Residual value Present Value of 1 =
Net present value
Answer:
$-7033.54
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
Cash flow = net income + deprecation
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($45,300 - $7,500) / 3 = $12,600
Cash flow = $12,600 + $2000 = $14,600
Cash flow in year 0 = $-45,300
Cash flow in year 1 = $14,600
Cash flow in year 2 = $14,600
Cash flow in year 3 = $14,600 + $7,500 = $22,100
I = 15%
NPV = $-7033.54
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.

Morris Company applies overhead based on direct labor costs. For the current year, Morris Company estimated total overhead costs to be $452,000, and direct labor costs to be $2,260,000. Actual overhead costs for the year totaled $419,000, and actual direct labor costs totaled $1,930,000. At year-end, the balance in the Factory Overhead account is a: Multiple Choice $452,000 Credit balance. $386,000 Debit balance. $33,000 Debit balance. $33,000 Credit balance. $419,000 Debit balance.
Answer:
As overhead was underapplied, the balance in overhead will be $33,000 credit.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 452,000 / 2,260,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.2 per direct labor dollar
Now, we can allocate costs:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 0.2*1,930,000
Allocated MOH= $386,000
Finally, we determine the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 419,000 - 386,000
Underapplied overhead= $33,000
As overhead was underapplied, the balance in overhead will be $33,000 credit.
As a result of a decrease in the demand for U.S. dollars, there has been depreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to Macedonian dinars. The depreciation in the U.S. dollar has benefitted some groups but harmed others. Indicate which of the groups are winners and which are losers from the standpoint of the depreciation of the U.S. dollar.
a. A. Todd, American, to visit Macedonia spring brew
b. An investment bank in Macedonia that is interested in purchasing U.S.
c. Goodyear, a U.S. based firm, selling car tires Macedonia
d. A family from Macedonia visiting relatives in the U.S
e. A firm from Macedonia selling in the US.
f. U .S. based Hewlett-Packard, which is a tech purchasing a high tech company in Macedonia
Answer:
A. Todd, American, to visit Macedonia spring brew
Explanation:
Todd is a loser due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar because now he will need more dollars to buy a comparative amount of South Korea won. His trip will now be more expensive.
An investment bank in South Korea, interested in purchasing U.S. government bonds - winner
The investment bank will exchange fewer wons for U.S. dollars than before. Buying government bonds will now be cheaper for them.
Goodyear, a firm based in the United States, sells car tires in South Korea - winner
Goodyear will likely sell more cars because for its South Korean customers, the cars are now cheaper since the value of the dollar has depreciated against the currency that they hold.
A family from South Korea visits relatives in the United States - winner
The South Korean family will exchange fewer wons for more U.S. dollars, making their trip cheaper.
A firm from South Korea sells handbags in the United States - loser
The handbags will now be more expensive for their American customers, likely causing a loss in sales revenue for the firm.
An electronics manufacturer in the United States, purchases a high tech company in South Korea - loser
The cost of the high-tech South Korean company is now higher for the American manufacturer because more dollars had to be exchanged for wons before the purchase.
Wildhorse Corporation factors $266,800 of accounts receivable with Kathleen Battle Financing, Inc. on a with recourse basis. Kathleen Battle Financing will collect the receivables. The receivables records are transferred to Kathleen Battle Financing on August 15, 2020. Kathleen Battle Financing assesses a finance charge of 2% of the amount of accounts receivable and also reserves an amount equal to 4% of accounts receivable to cover probable adjustments.
Assume that the conditions are met for the transfer of receivables with recourse to be accounted for as a sale. Prepare the journal entry on August 15, 2014, for Beyoncé to record the sale of receivables, assuming the recourse liability has a fair value of $4,650. (If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)

Denit Cash for $250,792; Debit Due from factors for $10,672; Debit Loss on Sale of receivables for $9,986; Credit Recourse liability for $4,650; and Credit Accounts receivable for $266,800.
Explanation:
The following are calculated first before preparing the journal entry:
Cash received = Factored amount * (100% - Finance charge percentage - Percentage reserved for probable adjustments) = $266,800 * (100% - 2% - 4%) = $250,792
Due from factors = Factored amount * Percentage reserved for probable adjustments = $266,800 * 4% = $10,672
Loss on Sale of receivables = (Factored amount * Finance charge percentage) + Fair value of recourse liability = ($266,800 * 2%) + $4,650 = $9,986
The journal entry will now appear as follows:

Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable manufacturing cost $195
Applied fixed manufacturing cost 105
Variable selling and administrative cost 75
Allocated fixed selling and administrative cost 90
1)
Unitary variable cost= $195
Selling price= 195*2.1
Selling price= $409.5
2)
Total variable cost= 195 + 75= $270
Selling price= 270*1.65
Selling price= $445.5
3)
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.
Total absorption cost= 195 + 105= $300
Selling price= 300*1.2
Selling price= $360

You are a financial analyst for Loch Motor Company and have been asked to determine the impact of alternative depreciation methods. For your analysis, you have been asked to compare methods based on a machine that cost $246,000. The estimated useful life is 10 years, and the estimated residual value is $62,000. The machine has an estimated useful life in productive output of 230,000 units. Actual output was 35,000 in year 1 and 31,000 in year 2.
Required:
For years 1 and 2 only, prepare separate depreciation schedules assuming:
a. Straight-line method.
b. Units-of-production method.
c. Double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
a. Straight-line method.
depreciable value = $246,000 - $62,000 = $184,000
deprecaition expense per year = $184,000 / 10 = $18,400
year depreciation expense book value
1 $18,400 $227,600
2 $18,400 $209,200
b. Units-of-production method.
depreciable value = $246,000 - $62,000 = $184,000
deprecaition expense per unit = $184,000 / 230,000 = $0.80
year depreciation expense book value
1 $28,000 $218,000
2 $24,800 $193,200
c. Double-declining-balance method.
depreciation expense year 1 = $246,000 x 1/10 x 2 = $49,200
depreciation expense year 2 = $196,800 x 1/10 x 2 = $39,360
year depreciation expense book value
1 $49,200 $196,800
2 $39,360 $157,440
The next dividend payment by Hoffman, Inc., will be $3.10 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6.25 percent forever. Assume the stock currently sells for $49.80 per share. a. What is the dividend yield
Answer:
6.2249%
Explanation:
Dividend yield = next dividend paid / price of the stock
Dividend yield is one of the components used in calculating the total return of a stock.
Total return = price return + dividend yield
price return is the return on a stock as a result of price appreciation
Dividend yield = $3.10 / $49.80 = 0.062249 = 6.2249%

9. Received $14,000 cash from customers for contracts billed in (4).
Create a tabular analysis, show the effect of each transaction on the accounting equation. Put explanations for changes to Stockholders' Equity in the far right column. (If a transaction causes a decrease in Assets, Liabilities or Stockholders' Equity, place a negative sign (or parentheses) in front of the amount entered for the particular Asset, Liability or Equity item that was reduced.)
Answer:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $68,600
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the tabular analysis of the effect of each transaction on the accounting equation.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Assetes = Total assets balance = = $18,800 + $17,900 + 31,900 = $68,600
Liabilities = Total liabilities balance = $1,600
Stockholders' Equity = Total Common Stock balance + Total Net Income balance = $42,500 + $25,500 = $67,000
Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $1,600 + $67,000 = $68,600
Therefore, we have:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $68,600
All of the following are organization-directed benefits associated with offering unconditional guarantees except: a. the guarantee provides a means to avoid bankruptcy. b. the guarantee forces the firm to focus on the customer's definition of good service. c. offering the guarantee forces the firm to examine its entire service delivery system for failure points. d. the guarantee can be a source of pride and provide a motive for team building within the firm. e. the guarantee states a clear performance goal that is communicated to employees.
Answer:
All of the following are organization-directed benefits associated with offering unconditional guarantees except:
a. the guarantee provides a means to avoid bankruptcy.
Explanation:
Providing or offering customers unconditional guarantees does not help the company to avoid bankruptcy. Bankruptcy arises from inadequate financing resulting from overtrading. Importantly, offering guarantees to customers communicates a clear performance goal to employees to improve service delivery to customers.
