Power Inc. has two divisions, Windsor and Ridge. Following is the income statement for the past month: Windsor Ridge Total Sales $ 360,200 $ 320,100 $ 680,300 Variable Costs 280,200 150,200 $ 430,400 Contribution Margin $ 80,000 $ 169,900 $ 249,900 Fixed Costs (allocated) 121,700 128,200 $ 249,900 Profit Margin $ (41,700 ) $ 41,700 $ 0 What would Power's profit margin be if the Windsor division was dropped and all fixed costs are unavoidable?.
Answer:
- $ 80,000
Explanation:
The existing Power's profit margin is $0 ($41,700 - $41,700 + $0).
Dropping Windsor division has the following effect :
Increase in cost - opportunity cost of $ 80,000
The opportunity is due to lost contribution
Fixed costs are unavoidable thus, they are irrelevant when doing this calculation.
thus,
Power's profit margin will be - $ 80,000 if the Windsor division was dropped.
Saginaw Steel Corporation has a precredit U.S. tax of $105,000 on $500,000 of taxable income in 2018. Saginaw has $200,000 of foreign source taxable income and paid $60,000 of income taxes to the German government on this income. All of the foreign source income is treated as foreign branch income for foreign tax credit purposes. Saginaw's foreign tax credit on its 2018 tax return will be:
Answer: $42000
Explanation:
Saginaw's foreign tax credit on its 2018 tax return will be calculated thus:
= Foreign source taxable income × precredit U.S tax/Taxable income
= 200000 × 105000/500000
= 200000 × 0.21
= 42000
Therefore, the foreign tax credit will be the least between $60,000 paid to the German government or $42000. In this case, the answer is $42000
Your firm has a contract to build one custom-designed machine that costs $100,000,000. This machine will operate at a paper recycling plant. It will take 1,000,000 pieces of paper per day, shred them into tiny fragments, grind them into paper dust, and create pulp used to make recycled paper envelopes. You need a gear motor to run at 10 horsepower with an output speed of 10 RPM. Your other option is buy a 10 horsepower, 1750 RPM motor, and design your own transmission system to reduce the speed to 10 RPM. Your firm has 10 engineers, and 2 of them would work full-time for six months to get the transmission system designed and built. The purchased gear motor would cost $10,000 and the purchase motor would cost $3,000. The transmission parts would cost another $3,000, saving you $4,000. Time is of the essence. You have only 6 months to design and build your machine.
Which makes more sense to you, buy the gear motor, or buy an AC motor and design and build your own gear transmission system?
Answer:
Buy the gear motor
Explanation:
Given that form the question Time is very important factor to be considered hence it will make more sense to buy the gear motor rather than buying the an AC motor because you cannot rely on the two engineers working fulltime for 6 months because of the factor of uncertainty which might lead to delay in shipment . also the difference in cost is not much compared to the value of the contract ( $1 billion )
Cost of Gear motor = $10,000
cost of AC motor = $3000 + $3000 = $6000
If the financial markets are strong form efficient, then: Question 22 options: 1) only the most talented analysts can consistently outperform the market. 2) technical analysis provides the best tool to use to gain a marketplace advantage. 3) only individuals with private information have a marketplace advantage. 4) no one individual has an advantage in the marketplace.
Answer:
4) no one individual has an advantage in the marketplace.
Explanation:
Strong form efficiency in a market is defined as a situation where prices are already influenced by public and insider information.
No one person or group have an advantage as a result of insider information.
So they can't predict future price movements accurately.
Price is a function of market forces. Fundamental and technical analysis cannot be used as prediction tools.
In this situation no one individual has an advantage in the marketplace.
Here I Sit Sofas has 6,600 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $89 per share. There are 950 bonds that mature in 25 years with a coupon rate of 6.3 percent paid semiannually. The bonds have a par value of $1,000 each and sell at 106 percent of par. The company also has 5,500 shares of preferred stock outstanding at a price of $42 per share. What is the capital structure weight of the debt
Answer:
55.17 %
Explanation:
We use the Market Values of Sources of Capital to determine their Weight in Capital Structure.
Weight of the debt = Market Value of Debt / Total Market Value x 100
where,
Market Value of Debt = 950 x $1,000 x 106% = $1,007,000
Market Value of Common Stock = 6,600 x $89 = $587,400
Market Value of Preferred Stock = 5,500 x $42 = $231,000
therefore,
Weight of the debt = $1,007,000 / $1,825,400 x 100
= 55.17 %
thus,
The capital structure weight of the debt is 55.17 %
At 60,000 machine hours, Boris Company static budget for variable overhead costs is $180,000. At 60,000 machine hours, the company's static budget for fixed overhead costs is $300,000. Machine hours are the cost driver of all overhead costs. The static budget is based on 60,000 machine hours. At 60,000 machine hours, the company produces 40,000 units. The following data is available:
Actual units produced and sold 42,000
Actual machine hours 64,000
Actual variable overhead costs $185,600
Actual fixed overhead costs $302,400
What is the fixed overhead spending variance?
A) $2,400 Favorable
B) $2,400 Unfavorable
C) $1,000 Unfavorable
D) $1,000 Favorable
Answer:
$2,400 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed overhead spending variance is shown below;
We know that
fixed overhead spending variance = actual fixed overhead - budgeted fixed overhead
= $302,400 - $300,000
= $2,400 unfavorable
As actual fixed overhead is more than the standard fixed overhead so it should be unfavorable else it is favorable

At the beginning of the current year, Max Corp. granted restricted stock units (RSUs) representing 30 million of its $1 par common shares to executives, subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within four years. After the recipients of the RSUs satisfy the vesting requirement, the company will distribute the shares. The common shares had a market price of $12 per share on the grant date. Ignoring taxes, what is the effect on earnings(net income) in the current year after the shares are granted to executives
Answer:
$90 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the effect on earnings (net income) in the current year after the shares are granted to executives
First step is to calculate the fair value of shares represented by RSUs
Using this formula
Fair value of shares represented by RSUs=Fair value per share*Shares represented by RSUs shares granted
Let plug in the formula
Fair value of shares represented by RSUs=$12 *30 million
Fair value of shares represented by RSUs=$360 million
Now let calculate the Effect on earnings
Using this formula
Effect on earnings=Fair value of shares represented by RSUs/Vesting period
Let plug in the formula
Effect on earnings=$360 million/4 years
Effect on earnings=$90 million
Therefore the effect on earnings (net income) in the current year after the shares are granted to executives is $90 million
If the demand for labor falls from D to D' and wages are sticky on the downward side, there will be unemployment of ________ million. a. 75 b. 100 c. 25 d. None of the above
Answer:
There will be unemployment of 100 million. The correct option is b. 100.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete because the graph is not attached. The graph is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached photo for the graph.
From the attached graph, we have:
Equilibrium units of labor at D = 300 million
Equilibrium units of labor at D’ = 200 million
Employment If the demand for labor falls from D to D' = Equilibrium units of labor at D’ - Equilibrium units of labor at D = 300 million - 200 million = 100 million
Therefore, there will be unemployment of 100 million. The correct option is b. 100.

Which of the following would be classified as a short-run decision? A restaurant's decision to increase the number of patrons it can accommodate by adding on a new dining room. A firm's decision to decrease the amount of electricity used in day-to-day operations by encouraging employees to adopt conservation strategies, e.g., shut off lights when leaving a room. A university's decision to add a new residence hall. A trucking firm's decision to move to a smaller facility.
Answer:
A university's decision to add a new residence hall. A trucking firm's decision to move to a smaller facility.
Explanation:
Short run decision affects variable factor only. Adding a new facility is a long run decision. Hence a firm's decision to decrease the amount of electricity used in day-to-day operations by encouraging employees to adopt conservation strategies is a short run decision.
Hence, the correct answer would be:
A university's decision to add a new residence hall. A trucking firm's decision to move to a smaller facility.
Aardvark Enterprises has agreed to be acquired by Lawson Products in exchange for $16,000 worth of Lawson Products stock. Lawson has 1,100 shares of stock outstanding at a price of $15 a share. Aardvark has 1,700 shares outstanding with a market value of $21 a share. The incremental value of the acquisition is $3,800. What is the value of Lawson Products after the merger? $51,520 $41,440 $56,000 $49,280 $44,800
Answer: $56000
Explanation:
The value of Lawson Products after the merger will be calculated thus:
Number of shares = 1100
Price of share = $15
Value of Lawson share = $16500
Number of shares = 1700
Price of share = $21
Value of Aardvark share = $35700
Market value of both firms will be:
= $16500 + $35700
= $52200
We then less incremental earnings from the market value and this will be:
= $52200 + $3800
= $56000
Therefore, the value of Lawson Products after the merger is $56000
Indiana Co. began a construction project in 2021 with a contract price of $162 million to be received when the project is completed in 2023. During 2021, Indiana incurred $40 million of costs and estimates an additional $84 million of costs to complete the project. Indiana recognizes revenue over time and for this project recognizes revenue over time according to the percentage of the project that has been completed.
Suppose that, in 2022, Indiana incurred additional costs of $65 million and estimated an additional $52 million in costs to complete the project. Indiana (Do not round your percentage calculated):
A) Recognized $8.91 million gross profit on the project in 2022.
B) Recognized $11.91 million gross profit on the project in 2022.
C) Recognized $3.00 million loss on the project in 2022.
D) Recognized $8.91 million loss on the project in 2022.
Answer:
D) Recognized $8.91 million loss on the project in 2022.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For Year 2021:
Percentage of work completed in the year 2021 is
= $40 ÷ ($40 + $84)× 100
= $40 ÷ $124 × 100
= 32.26%
Profit on the contract is
= Contract price - Already incurred cost - Expected cost
= $162 - $40 - $84
= $38
Profit to be recognized in the year 2016 is
= profit × percentage of completion
= $38 × 32.26%
= $12.256
For Year 2022:
Percentage of work completed in the year 2017 is
= ($40 + $65) ÷ ($40 + $65 + $52)
= $105 ÷ $157 × 100
= 66.88%
Profit on the contract is
= Contract price - Already incurred cost - Expected cost
= $162 - $40 - $65 - $52
= $5
Profit that should be recognized till the year 2017 is
= profit × percentage of completion
= $5 × 66.88%
= $3.344
Profit to be recognized in the year 2017 is
= $3.344 - $12.256
= 8.91 million loss
Joe Sullivan and Mark Holland, members of the top management at EuAir, a European airlines, were preparing for a meeting to discuss strategies to combat the recent rise in fuel prices. Before the meeting began, Joe and Mark were discussing how oil prices significantly impact the health of the world economy. Joe spoke of how higher oil prices since 1999, partly the result of OPEC supply management policies, contributed to the global economic downturn in 2000-2001 and have not been stable since. Mark agreed but added that the right kind of strategy could help them overcome this challenge, and that they could even use the situation to hike fares and generate additional revenues. Which of the following statements, if true, would denote the occurrence of groupshift in Mark's opinions during the meeting?
A) Mark proposed that the prices be hiked and additional customer service measures be included so costumers have the best experience flying with EuAir.
B) Mark encouraged the top-management team to consider laying off surplus employees and rightsizing EuAir to enhance its efficiency and lower costs.
C) Mark agreed with Joe's opinion that providing the best service possible, even if it meant incurring a loss in the short run, would be the best strategy.
D) Mark felt that EuAir should suspend some of its less profitable flights in the short run in favor of the routes that have greater demand among consumers.
E) Mark proposed that this was an opportunity for EuAir to use its brand name effectively and diversify into other products and services.
The statement that would denote the occurrence of group shift in mark's opinions during the meeting is that Mark proposed that the prices be hiked and additional customer service measures be included so customers have the best experience flying with EuAIR
What is customer service?Customer service can be defined as the one-on-one interaction between the person buying the product and the person that is the representative of the seller. Most retailers consider this interaction as the most important and critical one as it ensures the buyer satisfaction and encouraging repeat business. Even today when the customer service option is becoming automated the option to talk to a human representative is still present as business consider it service leadership.
At many companies, the customer service representatives are the ones who meet or greet the people who buy the products from the organization. They are the ones that have the direct contact with the consumers. The buyer's perception of the company and the product are shaped in part by their experience in dealing with that person. For this reason, many companies work hard to increase their customer satisfaction levels.
Customer service should be a single-step process for the consumer. If a customer calls a helpline, the representative should whenever possible follow the problem through to its resolution.
What is price hike?
Price hiking is an normal economic phenomenon that typically happens when there is a dramatic increase in demand and/or a dramatic decrease in supply for a good or service. Usually this is due to a short run situation
The best remedy is to increase the supply. The market will respond to high prices for a good or service by producing more of the product. The price hike will encourage firms to innovate and increase production. Again, this may not be possible or may be difficult in the short run.
The alternative is for government to install rationing and/or price controls. This will inevitably require some sort of legal enforcement; for example fines for “price gouging” and such. It is also a fertile ground for the creation of black markets: where consumers and sellers get together illegally, and negotiate a price that is usually somewhat higher (due to increased risks) than what would be the market price.
Hence, option A is the correct answer

Chicken Can has net sales revenue of $1,420,000, cost of goods sold of $761,700, and all other expenses of $307,000. The beginning balance of stockholders' equity is $417,000 and the beginning balance of fixed assets is $378,000. The ending balance of stockholders' equity is $617,000 and the ending balance of fixed assets is $406,000. The fixed asset turnover ratio is closest to:
Answer:
The fixed asset turnover ratio is closest to 3.62.
Explanation:
The fixed asset turnover ratio can be calculated using the following formula:
Fixed asset turnover ratio = Net sales revenue / Average fixed assets …….. (1)
Where:
Net sales revenue = $1,420,000
Average fixed assets = (Beginning balance of fixed assets + Ending balance of fixed assets) / 2 = ($378,000 + $406,000) / 2 = $392,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Fixed asset turnover ratio = $1,420,000 / $392,000 = 3.62
Therefore, the fixed asset turnover ratio is closest to 3.62.
A company buys a machine for $69,000 that has an expected life of 7 years and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. The company anticipates a yearly net income of $3,300 after taxes of 38%, with the cash flows to be received evenly throughout each year. What is the accounting rate of return
Answer:
9.57%

a) Data and Calculations:
Initial investment cost of production facility = $15 million
Estimated useful life of equipment = 10 years
Residual value = $500,000
Annual depreciation expense = $1,450,000 ($15m - $500,000)/10
Net Annual Cash inflows = Net operating income + Depreciation
= $2,690,000 + $1,450,000 = $4,140,000
Santorino Company produces two models of a component, Model K-3 and Model P-4. The unit contribution margin for Model K-3 is $6; the unit contribution margin for Model P-4 is $14. Each model must spend time on a special machine. The firm owns two machines that together provide 4,000 hours of machine time per year. Model K-3 requires 15 minutes of machine time; Model P-4 requires 30 minutes of machine time. What is the amount of machine time for model P-4 in terms of percent of a machine hour?
a. 50%
b. 25%
c. 30%
d. 20%
e. 10%
Answer:
a. 50%
Explanation:
Model P-4 requires 30 minutes of machine time.
A machine hour consists of 60 minutes
Calculating the machine time of Model P-4 in terms of percent of machine hour:
= (Model P-4 Machine time/Machine Hour)*100
= (30/60)*100
= 0.5 * 100
=50%
So, the percent of Model P-4 machine time in terms of a machine hour is 50%.
Paradise Corporation budgets on an annual basis for its fiscal year. The following beginning and ending inventory levels (in units) are planned for next year. Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory Raw material* 30,000 40,000 Finished goods 70,000 60,000 * Three pounds of raw material are needed to produce each unit of finished product. If Paradise Corporation plans to sell 510,000 units during next year, the number of units it would have to manufacture during the year would be:
Answer:
500,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information,
Beginning inventory = 70,000 units
Ending inventory = 60,000 units
Sales = 510,000 units
We will make use of the formula below to calculate the production required.
Production = Sales + Desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory
Production = 510,000 + 60,000 - 70,000
Production = 500,000 units

Fitness Fanatics is a regional chain of health clubs. The managers of the clubs, who have authority to make investments as needed, are evaluated based largely on return on investment (ROI). The company's Springfield Club reported the following results for the past year:
Sales $750,000
Net operating income $15,000
Average operating assets $100,000
Required:
Compute the Fitness Fanatics’s return on investment (ROI).
Answer:
The Fitness Fanatics’s return on investment (ROI) is 15%.
Explanation:
Return on investment (ROI) can be computed as the ratio of the net operating income to average operating assets as expressed in percentage as follows:
ROI = Net operating income / Average operating assets .............. (1)
Where, for Fitness Fanatics, we have:
Net operating income = $15,000
Average operating assets = $100,000
Substituting this into equation (1), we have:
ROI = $15,000 / $100,000 = 0.15, or 15%
Therefore, the Fitness Fanatics’s return on investment (ROI) is 15%.

The employee is expected to serve the company for a total of 25 years with 5 of those years already served as of January 1, 2018. What is the APBO at December 31, 2018? Group of answer choices $7,200. $6,300. $7,560. $7,500.
Answer:
$7,560
Explanation:
Calculation to determine APBO at December 31, 2018.
Using this formula
December 31 APBO=(Beginning EPBO*Discount rate)*6/25
Let plug in the formula
December 31 APBO=($30,000 * 1.05) * 6/25
December 31 APBO= $7,560
Therefore APBO at December 31, 2018 is $7,560
Belmont Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annual increase in net income after tax of $230,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $1,000,000 and have an 8 year life. If there is no salvage value of the equipment, what is the accounting rate of return? Multiple Choice 18.0% 15.5% 46.0% 23.0%.
Answer:
23.0%
Explanation:
According to the problem, computation of given data are as follows,
Initial cost of equipment = $1,000,000
Net income after tax = $230,000
So, we can calculate the accounting rate of return by using following formula,
Accounting rate of return = Net income after tax ÷ Initial cost of equipment
By putting the value, we get
Accounting rate of return = $230,000 ÷ $1,000,000
= 0.23 or 23%
Hence, accounting rate for the given data is 23%.
On January 1, 2018, UML Company leased a machine to UMB Corporation. The lease qualifies as a sales-type lease. UML paid $240,000 for the machine and is leasing it to UMB for $34,000 per year, an amount that will return 10% to UML. The present value of the lease payments is $240,000. The lease payments are due each December 31, beginning in 2018. What is the appropriate interest entry of UML on December 31, 2018
Answer:
Date Account Title Debit Credit
Dec 11, 2018 Interest receivable $20,600
Interest revenue $20,600
Explanation:
The interest receivable on December 31, 2018 would be based on the lease amount at the end of the year which will be the present value of the lease less the lease amount paid for the year:
Lease amount = 240,000 - 34,000
= $206,000
Interest receivable = 206,000 * 10%
= $20,600
Your friend Harold is trying to decide whether to buy or lease his next vehicle. He has gathered information about each option but is not sure how to compare the alternatives. Purchasing a new vehicle will cost $28,500, and Harold expects to spend about $700 per year in maintenance costs. He would keep the vehicle for five years and estimates that the salvage value will be $11,300. Alternatively, Harold could lease the same vehicle for five years at a cost of $3,705 per year, including maintenance. Assume a discount rate of 10 percent.
Requirement:
1. Calculate the net present value of Harold’s options. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.
2. Advise Harold about which option he should choose.
Lease Option
Purchase Option
Answer:
$-24,137.14
$-14,044.86
He should choose the lease option
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
Purchase option
Cash flow in year 0 = $-28,500
Cash flow in year 1 - 4 = -700
Cash flow in year 2 = 11,300 - 700 = 10,600
I = 10%
NPV= -24,137.14
Lease option
Cash flow in year 1 - 5 = 3705
I = 10%
NPV= -14,044.86
the lease option is less expensive and should be chosen
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.
