Answer:

C

Explanation:

Plato/Edmentum

Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Expected annual manufacturing overhead is $1,570,706. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.31 or ($1,570,706 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models.
The company’s managers identified six activity cost pools and related cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follows.

1.) Under traditional product costing, compute the total unit cost of each product. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.)
2.) Under ABC, complete the schedule showing the computations of the activity-based overhead rates (per cost driver). (Round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25.)
3.) Complete the schedule assigning each activity's overhead cost pool to each product based on the use of cost drivers. (Use rates from part b above and round cost assigned to 0 decimal places, e.g. 12,250. Round overhead per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25. Note that due to rounding your total cost assigned will be slightly different than calculated above.)

Suppose you are the agent for a baseball pitcher. Suppose he is offered the following contract by the New York Yankees: a signing bonus of $3,000,000 (to be received immediately), a first year’s salary of $6,000,000 (to be received one year from today), a second year’s salary of $7,000,000 (to be received two years from today), and a third year’s salary of $8,000,000 (to be received three years from today). Suppose he is offered the following contracts by the San Francisco Giants: a signing bonus of $6,000,000, a first year’s salary of $5,500,000, a second year’s salary of $6,000,000, and a third year’s salary of $6,000,000.
If you believe the interest rate is 10%, which offer would you advise the pitcher to accept?
Would your advice change if you believed the interest rate were 5%?

A construction worker was working at the construction site of a new building. An open elevator, which had been installed in the building by the elevator manufacturer, was used to haul workers and building materials between floors. While the worker was riding the elevator, it stalled between floors due to a manufacturing defect in the elevator. The worker called for assistance and was in no danger, but after waiting 15 minutes for help, he became anxious and jumped 12 feet to get out. He severely injured his back when he landed.
In an action by the worker against the elevator manufacturer to recover for his back injury, is the worker likely to obtain a judgment for 100% of his damages?

Builders Corporation (Builders) is a general contractor. Builders wished to bid on a construction project and solicited bids from a variety of subcontractors. Four electrical subcontractors, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, submitted bids to Builders. The bids were as follows: Alpha- $75,000; Beta- $85,000; Gamma- $90,000; Delta- $95,000. As Builders was preparing its bid on the construction project based upon the low bid submitted by Alpha, Builders’ president called Alpha and told him, "We won’t be able to do it with your present bid, but if you can shave off $5,000, I’m sure that the numbers will be there for us to get that project." Alpha responded, "No way! In fact, that bid we submitted was based on a $15,000 error; we can’t do it for a cent less than $90,000." Nevertheless, Builders submitted its bid for the construction project using Alpha’s original $75,000 bid. Builders was not awarded the construction job and subsequently sued Alpha. Alpha is liable for:________.

[accounting] A retailer completed a physical count of ending merchandise inventory. When counting inventory, employees did not include $2,200 of incoming goods shipped by a supplier on December 31 under FOB shipping point. These goods had been recorded in Merchandise Inventory, but they were not included in the physical count because they were in transit. This means shrinkage was incorrectly overstated by $2,200.

Compute the amount of overstatement or understatement for each of the following amounts for this period.

a. ending inventory
b. total assets
c. net income
d. total equity

Slaq Computer Company manufactures notebook computers. The economic lifetime of a particular model is only four to six months, which means that Slaq has very little time to make adjustments in production capacity and supplier contracts over the production run. For a soon-to-be-introduced notebook, Slaq must negotiate a contract with a supplier of motherboards. Because supplier capacity is tight, this contract will specify the number of motherboards in advance of the start of the production run. At the time of contract negotiation, Slaq has forecasted that demand for the new notebook is normally distributed with a mean (�) of 10,000 units and a standard deviation (�) of 2,500 units. The net profit from a notebook sale is $500 (note that this includes the cost of the motherboard, as well as all other material; production, and shipping costs). (Hint: �! = $500) Motherboards cost $200 and have no salvage value (i.e., if they are not used for this particular model of notebook, they will have to be written off). (Hint: �" = $200) Use the news vendor model to compute a purchase quantity of motherboards that balances the cost of lost sales and the cost of excess material.

We assume that in a village there are farmers, carpenters, and tailors, who provide the three essential goods: food, housing, and clothing. Suppose the farmers consume 2/5 of the food (produced by farmers), 1/3 of the housing (produced by carpenters) and 1/2 of the clothes (produced by tailors). The carpenter consumes 2/5 of the food, 1/3 of the housing, and 1/2 of the clothes. The tailors consume 1/5 of the food, 1/3 of the housing, and no clothes. Assume this is a closed Leontief model.

If we know that the tailors produce 560 units of clothes, then the farmers produce ___________units of food, and the carpenters produce_________ units of housing.

Orange Inc., an orange juice producer with a current debt-to-equity ratio of 2, is considering expanding its operations to produce toothpaste. Unsurprisingly, the toothpaste industry faces a different set of risks than the orange juice industry. However, the executives at Orange Inc. observe that Paste Inc., a toothpaste company, has a cost of equity of 12%, a cost of debt of 6%, and a debt-to-value ratio of 40%. Orange Inc. plans to finance its expansion into toothpaste production with 50% debt and 50% equity. The cost of debt for Orange Inc. is also 6%, and the corporate tax rate is 25%. Solve for the discount rate that Orange Inc. should use when evaluating whether to go forward with the expansion Note: Orange Inc. does not want to use the Adjusted Present Value method.
