Using the information below, calculate gross profit for the period. Sales revenues for the period $ 1,254,000 Operating expenses for the period 234,000 Finished Goods Inventory, January 1 35,500 Finished Goods Inventory, December 31 40,500 Cost of goods manufactured for the period 515,000

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$744,000

Explanation:

The computation of the gross profit is shown below:

But before that determine the cost of goods sold which is

Cost of goods sold is

= Opening finished goods balance + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished goods balance

= $35,500 + $515,000 - $40,500

= $510,000

now the gross profit is

= Sales - cost of goods sold

= $1,254,000 - $510,000

= $744,000

What is Neeley Grocery's operating leverage factor at the target level of operating income?
A. 1.60.
B. 0.63.
C. 2.67.
D. 0.40.

Answers

Answer:

A. 1.60

Explanation:

For computation of operating leverage factor first we need to determine the required contribution which is shown below:-

Required Contribution = Target Profit + Fixed Cost

= $25,000 + $15,000

= $40,000

Operating Leverage Factor = Contribution ÷ Operating Income

= $40,000 ÷ $25,000

= $1.60

Therefore for computing the operating leverage factor we simply applied the above formula.

Answers

Answer: Efficiency

Explanation:

The five sandwich shops constantly competing in an effort to gain competitive advantage over their competitors whilst keeping costs low are adhering to one Porter's competitive advantage theories which is Cost Leadership.

This benefits the industry as a whole because the sandwich companies will keep coming up with new ways and technologies to produce sandwiches at the lowest cost so that can increase their productivity.

Efficiency by definition is to make things at the lowest cost so the sandwich shops constantly aiming to reduce or at least maintain cost while increasing production is going to lead to Industrial Efficiency.

Cyber Security Systems had sales of 3,300 units at $65 per unit last year. The marketing manager projects a 20 percent increase in unit volume sales this year with a 40 percent price increase. Returned merchandise will represent 10 percent of total sales. What is your net dollar sales projection for this year?

Answers

Answer:

$324,324

Explanation:

Next year projected sales = 3300 * ( 1 + 0.20)

= 3300 * 1.20

= 3960 units

Next year price = 55 * (1+0.40)

= 65 * 1.40

= $91

Total sales = 3960 * $91

Total sales = $360,360

Sales return = $360,360  * 10%  = $36,036

Net sales = Total sales - Sales Return

Net sales = $360,360 - $36,036

Net sales = $324,324

Convex Mechanical Supplies produces a product with the following costs as of July 1, 20X1: Material $5 Labor 3 Overhead 2 $10 Beginning inventory at these costs on July 1 was 11,500 units. From July 1 to December 1, Convex produced 26,000 units. These units had a material cost of $7 per unit. The costs for labor and overhead were the same. Convex uses FIFO inventory accounting. a. Assuming that Convex sold 28,000 units during the last six months of the year at $14 each, what would gross profit be?

Answers

Answer:

Gross profit= $79,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

July 1, 20X1:

Material $5

Labor 3

Overhead 2

Total= $10

Beginning inventory at these costs on July 1 was 11,500 units.

From July 1 to December 1, Convex produced 26,000 units.

These units had a material cost of $7 per unit.

First, we need to determine the cost of goods sold. Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the COGS is calculated using the cost of the first units produces.

COGS= 11,500*10 + 16,500*12= $313,000

Now, we can calculate the gross profit:

Gross profit= sales - cogs

Gross profit= 28,000*14 - 313,000

Gross profit= $79,000

The number of taxicabs in Motorville and the taxicab fares are regulated. The fare currently charged is Rs.500 a ride. Motorville taxicab drivers want to obtain government's permission to raise the fare to increase their revenues and ask you to be their economic adviser. After studying the market, you come up with the following demand schedule for taxicab rides:



Price (Rupees per ride) Quantity demanded (rides per month)

300 160

400 120

500 80

600 40

700 0



(i) Calculate the price elasticity of demand for taxicab rides as the fare rises from Rs.500 to Rs.600. Is the demand price elastic or inelastic for this fare rise? (2 Marks)

(ii) What happens to the taxicab drivers' total revenue if the fare rises from Rs.500 to Rs.600? How can you use your answers in part “a” to answer this question? Should the drivers try to obtain permission to raise the fare? (2 Marks)

(iii) Calculate the price elasticity of demand for taxicab rides as the fare falls from Rs.500 to Rs.400. Is the demand price elastic or inelastic for this fare decrease?



Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

i) The price elasticity of demand is given by the formula:

[tex]Price \ elasticity\ of \ demand=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta P} =\frac{\frac{Q_2-Q_1}{(Q_2+Q_1)/2} }{\frac{P_2-P_1}{(P_2+P_1)/2} } \\\\Price \ elasticity\ of \ demand=\frac{\frac{40-80}{(40+80)/2} }{\frac{600-500}{(600+500)/2} }=\frac{-2/3}{2/11} =3.667 (ignore \ the\ sign)[/tex]

Since the price elasticity of demand is greater than 1 hence it is elastic

ii) Since the price elasticity of demand is elastic as a result of increase in fare, hence the total revenue would decrease.

iii)

[tex]Price \ elasticity\ of \ demand=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta P} =\frac{\frac{Q_2-Q_1}{(Q_2+Q_1)/2} }{\frac{P_2-P_1}{(P_2+P_1)/2} } \\\\Price \ elasticity\ of \ demand=\frac{\frac{120-80}{(120+80)/2} }{\frac{400-500}{(400+500)/2} }=\frac{0.4}{-2/9} =1.8 (ignore \ the\ sign)[/tex]

Since the price elasticity of demand is greater than 1 hence it is elastic

Hoover Inc. has current assets of $350,000 and fixed plant assets of $650,000. Current liabilities are $100,000 and long-term liabilities are $250,000. There is $120,000 in preferred stock outstanding and the firm has issued 10,000 shares of common stock. Compute book value (net worth) per share $53.00. $75.00. $65.00. $84.00.

Answers

Answer:

$53.00

Explanation:

The computation of book value is shown below:-

But before that we need to determine the net asset which is

Net asset = Total asset - Total liabiliites

= ($350,000 + $650,000) - ($100,000 - $250,000)

= $1,000,000 - $350,000

= $650,000

Now

Value per share= (Net asset - preference share) ÷ number of common stocks

= ($650,000 - $120,000 ) ÷ 10,000 shares

= $530,000 ÷  10,000

= $53 per share

e. Write a detailed comment on what will happen to the selling price of the stock at the end of fourth year if the expected return is decreased from 12% to 8%.

Answers

Answer:

a. Year 1 dividend - $5.40; Year 2 dividend = $5.83; Year 3 dividend = $6.30; and Year 4 dividend = $6.80

b. Price of stock today = $76.26

c. When the the expected return is increased from 12% to 16%, the price of stock today will fall from $76.26 to $66.27. This indicates a 13% decrease in price. Therefore, there is a negative relationship between the price of stock today and the expected return. That is, as the expected return increases, the price of stock today decreases.

d. The price of stock at the end of fourth year is $141.62.

e. When the the expected return is decreased from 12% to 8%, the price of stock the end of fourth year falls from $141.62 to $122.44. This indicates a 14% decrease in price. Therefore, there is a positive relationship between the price of stock today and the expected return. That is, as the expected return decreases, the future price of stock also decreases.

Explanation:

a. Find out the dividend of each of the next four years. [2 marks]

Growth rate = 8%, or 0.08

Year 1 dividend = Last year dividend * (1 + Growth rate) = $5 * (1 + 0.08) = $5 * 1.08 = $5.40

Year 2 dividend = Year 1 dividend * (1 + Growth rate) = $5.40 * (1 + 0.08) = $5.40 * 1.08 = $5.832, or $5.83

Year 3 dividend = Year 2 dividend * (1 + Growth rate) = $5.832 * (1 + 0.08) = $5.832 * 1.08 = $6.29856, or $6.30

Year 4 dividend = Year 3 dividend * (1 + Growth rate) = $6.29856 * (1 + 0.08) = $6.29856 * 1.08 = $6.8024448, or $6.80

b. If the stocks are selling at $120 at the end of fourth year, find out the price of stock today, assuming expected return as 12%.[2 marks]

To calculate this, we use the present value (PV) formula as follows:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n ..................... (1)

Where,

PV = Price of stock today = ?

FV = Stock selling price at the end of fourth year = $120

r = expected return = 12%, or 0.12

n = number of years = 4

Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:

PV = $120 / (1 + 0.12)^4 = $120 / (1.12)^4 = $120 / 1.57351936 = $76.26

Therefore, the price of stock today is $76.26

c. Write a detailed comment on what will happen to the today’s selling price of the stock if the expected return is increased from 12% to 16%.[3 marks]

To calculate the price of stock today, we use equation (1) in part b above and change r to 16%, or 0.16; while other values remain the same. Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PV = $120 / (1 + 0.16)^4 = $120 / (1.16)^4 = $120 / 1.81063936 = $66.27

Percentage change in price = ($66.27 - $76.26) / $76.26 = -0.13, or -13%

Comment:

When the the expected return is increased from 12% to 16%, the price of stock today will fall from $76.26 to $66.27. This indicates a 13% decrease in price. Therefore, there is a negative relationship between the price of stock today and the expected return. That is, as the expected return increases, the price of stock today decreases.

d. If the stocks are selling at $90 today, find out the price of stock at the end of fourth year, assuming expected return as 12%. [2 marks]

To calculate this, we use the future value (FV) formula as follows:

FV = PV * (1 + r)^n ..................... (2)

Where,

FV = Stock selling price at the end of fourth year = ?

PV = Price of stock today = $90

r = expected return = 12%, or 0.12

n = number of years

Substitute the values into equation (2), we have:

FV = $90 * (1 + 0.12)^4 = $90 * (1.12)^4 = $90 * 1.57351936 = $141.62

Therefore, the price of stock at the end of fourth year is $141.62.

e. Write a detailed comment on what will happen to the selling price of the stock at the end of fourth year if the expected return is decreased from 12% to 8%.

To calculate the price of stock at the end of fourth year, we use equation (2) in part c above and change r to 8%, or 0.08; while other values remain the same. Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

FV = $90 * (1 + 0.08)^4 = $90 * (1.08)^4 = $90 * 1.36048896 = $122.44

Percentage change in price = ($141.62 - $122.44) / $141.62 = -0.14, or -14%

Comment:

When the the expected return is decreased from 12% to 8%, the price of stock the end of fourth year falls from $141.62 to $122.44. This indicates a 14% decrease in price. Therefore, there is a positive relationship between the price of stock today and the expected return. That is, as the expected return decreases, the future price of stock also decreases.

Comprehensive CVP analysis "I’ll never understand this accounting stuff," Blake Dunn yelled, waving the income statement he had just received from his accountant in the morning mail. "Last month, we sold 2,000 stuffed State University mascots and earned $6,565 in operating income. This month, when we sold 3,000 I thought we’d make $9,848. But this income statement shows an operating income of $11,615! How can I ever make plans if I can’t predict my income? I’m going to give Janice one last chance to explain this to me," he declared as he picked up the phone to call Janice Miller, his accountant.

Answers

Answer:

The problem with Blake's reasoning is that he believes that all costs are variable, and that is not true. In order to predict future profits, he divided $6,565 by 2,000 stuffed mascots = $3.2825 profit per stuffed mascot sold. But when sales increased to 3,000 units, the profits increased much more.

This happens because some costs are variable and change directly with the number of units sold, while others are fixed and remain the same regardless of the number of units sold.

The question is incomplete, the accounts are missing, so I looked for them:

February March

Sales revenue $25,000 $37,500

Cost of goods sold 10,000 15,000

Gross profit 15,000 22,500

Rent expense 1,500 1,500

Wages expense 3,500 5,000

Shipping expense 1,100 1,650

Utilities expense 750 750

Advertising expense 1,000 1,400

Insurance expense 585 585

Operating income $6,565 $11,615

The income statement using the contribution margin format would be as follows:

Income Statement              Year 1                  Year 2

Sales revenue            $25,000         $37,500

Variable costs:

Cost of goods sold   $10,000         $15,000 Wages expense*     $3,000          $4,500 Shipping expense       $1,100           $1,650 Advertising expense*   $800           $1,200

Contribution margin           $10,100                $15,150

Period costs:

Wages expense*        $500             $500 Advertising expense*   $200             $200 Rent expense              $1,500           $1,500 Insurance expense       $585             $585 Utilities expense        $750             $750

Net income                         $6,565                 $11,615

*high low cost method for wages expense and advertisement expense:

variable wages expense = ($5,000 - $3,500) / (3,000 - 2,000) = $1.50 per unit

fixed wages expense = $5,000 - (3,000 x $1.50) = $500

variable advertising expense = ($1,400 - $1,000) / (3,000 - 2,000) = $0.40 per unit

fixed advertising expense = $1,400 - (3,000 x $0.40) = $200

For Honey Dukes Corporation, a debit of $287,000 from the Cost of Goods Sold account and a credit of the same amount to the Finished Goods Inventory account would be the appropriate journal entry to reflect the cost of jobs sold.

Record the journal entry.

For Honey Dukes Corporation, the correct journal entry to represent the cost of jobs sold would be a debit of $287,000 from the Cost of Goods Sold account and a credit of the same number to the Completed Products Inventory account. This is because the cost of products sold, which accounts for the price of all things sold during the time and includes the cost of direct material and direct, direct labour, and manufacturing overhead. The finished products inventory account reflects the cost of all produced goods available for sale but not yet purchased. The cost is thus transferred from the finished products inventories account to the cost of goods sold column when the goods are sold.

Multiphonics produce no new sonic alternatives for the oboe.
a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation:

Most of the oboe’s history is typically represented in the drawings and the paintings of ancient civilizations. The oboe can be said to come from the family will of the shawm instrument.

It should be noted that there are different fingering positions that help in the production of multiphonics on oboe.

Therefore, the statement that "Multiphonics produce no new sonic alternatives for the oboe" is false.

A 4.8% coupon bond with 9 years remaining until maturity is currently trading at $1087.43. Assume semi-annual coupon payments. The bond's YTM is __________%. Round your *final* answer to 2 decimal places (example: 12.34). Hint: be sure your inputs reflect the semiannual payment frequency.

Answers

Answer:

3.66%

Explanation:

The yield to maturity can be computed using Excel rate function below:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of semiannual coupons in 9 years i.e 9*2=18

pmt is the amount of semiannual coupon =$1000*4.8%*6/12=24

pv is the current price which is $1087.43

face value is $1000

=rate(18,24,-1087.43,1000)

rate=1.83% (semiannual yield)

annual yield=1.83%*2

annual yield=3.66%

What is the tax consequence to the son Nothing ConstantNothing is constant but change.Heraclitus, an ancient Greek philosopher1 It was the last day of school; the kids were gone, the books had been collected, and Principal Drake was handing out final paychecks. This was normally a relaxed meeting at which teachers wearing casual clothes smiled and wished each other well for the summer. But no one was smiling today, because a story in the local newspaper had exploded like a crack of thunder.2 The headline read, Board of Education Plans New Middle School, and the staff members of East Orange Elementary were rattled.3 Principal Tom Drake opined, I am concerned about a situation in which a newspaper already knows school district information that comes as a surprise to me and my teachers. He continued, But of far greater concern is what this means for us, for our colleagues at West Orange, and for students and parents throughout the district.4 Coach Melinda Gardner whispered to her friend, Mr. Dale French, Old Tom is just worried the Board might ask him to retire and make someone else principal of the new campus.5 Mr. French whispered back, Melinda, you be nice now, but he couldnt help smiling at his friends remark.6 As the meeting went on, many teachers worried out loud about what might happen if grades 6-8 from East and 6-8 from West consolidated.7 Ever since the two elementary schools had opened, decades ago, the district had proudly maintained a unique system. While surrounding districts had built new middle schools, Orange kept two elementary buildingsEast and Westwith K-8 graders in each.8 Now, according to the paper, the results of the 2010 census were in. They suggested population growth would soon fill both elementary schools with K-5 students only. Apparently, the Board thought the time was ripe to build one new middle school for 6-8 graders.9Will one campus need two middle school science labs? Dr. Fred Davis, the science department head, asked the group in his usual shy, quiet voice.10Since there is only one middle school library, is the Board going to honor seniority? Mrs. Betty Green asked brashly. Or the Board could just keep whichever librarian has the coolest photos on her social media site, she added sarcastically.11Mrs. Green is worried her lack of computer skills might finally hurt her, Coach Gardner whispered to Mr. French again.12Coach Gardner, please! Principal Drake scolded his gym teacher for whispering. You would not tolerate it if your students were rude. This turn of events has caused real alarm so lets be sensitive to each others concerns.13I apologize for both of us, Tom, Mr. French offered. But lets not get carried away and spoil our summers over this. We dont know if this proposed new campus will actually be built. The census projections could be wrong. Even if they are right, the cost of raising taxes to pay for a new school might not go over well with voters.14 Mr. French continued, I plan to enjoy my summer and expect another great year. Chances are well all have jobs because several teachers retire every year and the Board moves us around to fill the vacancies. Some of us may have new assignments, but well all land somewhere.15 All around the room there were nods of agreement. The atmosphere of gloom gave way to the usual feelings of accomplishment and relief at the end of school.16 Mr. French offered one more uplifting thought. Each spring we graduate our eighth graders and send them on to Central High. If they can adjust to a new building, I think we can too.17 With that, the teachers adjourned and summer vacation began.What do Mr. Frenchs comments throughout the story reveal about his character? A. He wants everyone to like him and be his friend. B. He wants to flatter everyone to gain their trust. C. He is a calm person and a positive influence. D. He is a man who pushes his viewpoint on others.
