Answer:
$12
Explanation:
Moore Company purchased an item for inventory that cost $20 per unit and was priced to sell at $34. It was determined that the cost to sell is $22 per unit. Using the lower of cost or net realizable value rule, what amount should be?
Cost per Unit = $20
Sale per unit = $34
Disposal cost = $22
Net realizable value per unit = Sale per unit - Disposal cost
Net realizable value per unit = $34 - $22
Net realizable value per unit = $12
Using the LCM method, $12 should be reported on the balance sheet for inventory.
A company uses a process costing system. Its Weaving Department completed and transferred out 120,000 units during the current period. The ending inventory in the Weaving Department consists of 40,000 units (20% complete with respect to direct materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion costs). Determine the equivalent units of production for the Weaving Department for direct materials and conversion costs assuming the weighted average method. Multiple Choice 120,000 materials; 120,000 conversion. 120,000 materials; 160,000 conversion. 128,000 materials; 120,000 conversion. 128,000 materials; 144,000 conversion. 128,000 materials; 184,000 conversion.
Answer: 128,000 materials; 144,000 conversion
Explanation:
Materials
Equivalent Units of Production = Units transferred out + Percentage complete of ending inventory
= 120,000 + (20% * 40,000)
= 128,000 units
Conversion
Equivalent Units of Production = Units transferred out + Percentage complete of ending inventory
= 120,000 + (60% * 24,000)
= 144,000 units
At the beginning of the year, Bryers Incorporated reports inventory of $6,100. During the year, the company purchases additional inventory for $21,100. At the end of the year, the cost of inventory remaining is $8,100. Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer:
$19,100
Explanation:
The cost of goods sold refers to the actual cost, expended in the manufacturing of goods or products that is produced and then sold in a given period. It comprises all direct costs expended in the manufacturing of goods.
With regards to the above, the cost of goods sold for the year is computed as;
= $6,100 beginning inventory + $21,100 purchases for the period - $8,100 closing inventory
= $19,100
Therefore, the cost of goods sold for the year is $19,100
The law of diminishing marginal utility says that:_____.
a. as a person consumes more and more of a certain good, the addition to total satisfaction decreases.
b. as a person's income increases, the satisfaction associated with each dollar spent decreases. as
c. a person consumes more and more of a certain good, the additional satisfaction increases.
d. as a person's income increases, the satisfaction associated with each additional dollar earned increases.
Assume that this law holds for Quincy with ice cream and pretzels. Quincy decides to eat less ice cream and more pretzels. As a result:_______.
A. Quincy's marginal utility of ice cream decreases, and his marginal utility of pretzels increases.
B. Quincy's marginal utility of both ice cream and pretzels decreases.
C. Quincy's marginal utility of both ice cream and pretzels increases.
D. Quincy's marginal utility of ice cream increases, and his marginal utility of pretzels decreases.
Answer: 1. a. As a person consumes more and more of a certain good, the addition to total satisfaction decrease.
2. D.Quincy's marginal utility for ice cream increases and his marginal utility for pretzels decreases.
Explanation:
Diminishing marginal utility implies that one gains extra satisfaction from the consumption of an extra unit of a particular good but that as one continue to consume, there'll be dissatisfaction because the extra unit consumed will not bring more satisfaction like the former ones.
For example, if one is thirsty and buys water, an extra unit will at first give satisfaction but more extra water will not be as satisfying like the first one.
If Quincy eats less ice cream and more pritzels, the marginal utility for ice cream will increase as she'll get more satisfaction because she only consumed less while for pritzels, the satisfaction will reduce if she takes an extra.

What is the profit margin for a firm with the following: dividend payout ratio of 55 percent, capital intensity ratio of 1.4, debt-equity ratio of .68, and sustainable growth rate of 6.2 percent
Answer:
2.33%
Explanation:
Capital intensity ratio=total assets /sales=1.4
debt-equity ratio=debt/equity=0.68 ( debt is 0.68 while equity is 1 since 0.68/1=0.68)
total assets=debt+equity=0.68+1=1.68
return on equity=sustainable growth rate*retention rate
sustainable growth rate=6.2%
retention rate=1-dividend payout ratio=1-55%=45%
return on equity=6.2%*45%=2.79%
Using the point formula , the return on equity formula is given below:
return on equity=profit margin*asset turnover*assets/equity
return on equity=2.79%
profit margin is the unknown
asset turnover=sales/total assets=1/Capital intensity ratio=1/1.4
assets/equity=1.68/1=1.68
2.79%=profit margin*1/1.4*1.68
2.79%=profit margin*1.20
2.79%/1.20=profit margin
profit margin=2.33%
Brandon and Jane Forte file a joint tax return and decide to itemize their deductions. The Fortes' income for the year consists of $119,000 in salary, $500 interest income, $1,000 nonqualifying dividends, and $500 long-term capital gains. The Fortes' expenses for the year consist of $2,500 in investment interest expense and $800 in tax preparation fees. Assuming that the Fortes' marginal tax rate is 32 percent and they make no special elections, what is the amount of investment interest expense deduction for the year
Answer:
$1,500
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of investment interest expense deduction for the year
Using this formula
Investment interest expense deduction=Interest income+ Nonqualifying dividend
Let plug in the formula
Investment interest expense deduction=$500+$1,000
Investment interest expense deduction=$1,500
Therefore the amount of investment interest expense deduction for the year will be $1,500
5. A software startup, Lutoj, Inc., is developing a new smart home software product. Lutoj believes revenue must reach $5 million in Year 3 for the product to be viable. Lutoj’s operating margin (EBIT/Sales) is 20%, the tax rate is 30, and asset turnover is 5X. The founders have a total of $200,000 for initial equity funding. Assume Lutoj will pay no dividend. (15 points) a. With no other financing, will the $200,000 of founder investment be sufficient to achieve the Year 3 sales target? If not, what level of initial equity investment would be required?
Answer and Explanation:
A. Given asset turnover =5 (there's an error in the question of 5X)
Net Sales = 5 million dollars
Asset turnover is given by Net Sales/Total assets invested
Asset turnover = Net sales/total assets invested
We substitute values in the equation:
5= $5000000/total assets invested
= total assets invested=$5000000/5
Total assets invested =$1000000
Therefore to reach net sales of $5000000, there needs to be an initial investment of $1000000 not $200000
B. Given that initial investment required = $1000000
And investment available for equity now=$200000
Debt required for additional financing to reach initial investment requirement
=$1000000-$200000
=$800000 debt
Hy-Vee (grocery store) would most accurately be classified as
Answer:
distributer
Explanation:
A company, which is currently operating at full capacity, has sales of $2,480, current assets of $820, current liabilities of $510, net fixed assets of $1,670, and a 5 percent profit margin. The company has no long-term debt and does not plan on acquiring any. The company does not pay any dividends. Sales are expected to increase by 10 percent next year. If all assets, short-term liabilities, and costs vary directly with sales, how much additional equity financing is required for next year
Answer:
$61.60
Explanation:
Equity funding need = Projected assets - Projected liabilities - Current equity - Projected increase in retained earnings
Equity funding need = $2,739 - $561 - $1,980 - $136.40
Equity funding need = $61.60
Workings
Projected assets = (Current assets + Fixed assets) * 1.10 = 820+1,670 * 1.10 = $2,739
Projected liabilities = Current liabilities * 1.10 = 510 * 1.10 = $561
Current equity = Current assets + Fixed assets - Current liabilities = 820 + 1,670 - 510 = $1,980
Projected increase in retained earnings = Sales*5% * 1.10 = $2,480*5% * 1.10 = 124*1.10 = $136.40
Which statement is correct? In the short run, the pure monopolist will maximize total profits by producing at that level of output where the difference between price and average total cost is greatest. Pure monopolists do not always realize economic profits. Because of its ability to administer prices, the pure monopolist can increase its price and increase its volume of sales simultaneously. In the short run, the pure monopolist will charge the highest price it can get for its product.
Answer: Pure monopolists do not always realize economic profits.
Explanation:
Even though Pure Monopolies are the only sellers or makers of a good in a market and can therefore set their own prices, this does not mean that they will always make a profit talk more an economic one.
In the short run for instance, a Pure monopoly could see its average cost higher than its average revenue because some factors of production could not be varied. In this scenario, the monopolist would realize economic losses.
a. Why do some price controls help create black markets?
b. What is a black market you have personally seen?
Answer:
Price ceiling creates black markets
Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price of a good or service. Price ceiling is binding if it is set below equilibrium price.
When a binding price floor is established, producers would earn less profits and as a result they would stop selling their products in the free markets. This would lead to scarcity and a result a black market can emerge. Goods would be sold at a higher price in the black markets than it would in the free markets.
So, black markets can arise as a result of price ceiling and the need of producers to earn higher profits
b. During the war, when there was a rationing of meat. Farmers declared less animal births to authorities and sold the undeclared livestock in the black market.
Also, in less developed countries e.g. Nigeria, when there is scarcity of fuel. Black markets arise where fuel are sold for higher prices

EXCESS CAPACITY Williamson Industries has $7 billion in sales and $1.944 billion in fixed assets. Currently, the company’s fixed assets are operating at 90% of capacity. What level of sales could Williamson Industries have obtained if it had been operating at full capacity? What is Williamson’s target fixed assets/sales ratio? If Williamson’s sales increase 15%, how large of an increase in fixed assets will the company need to meet its target fixed assets/sales ratio?
Answer:
a. Calculation of level of sales
Level of sales = Sales / Operating capacity
= 7,000,000,000/90%
= $7,777,777,777.78
b. Calculation of Target fixed Assets/Sales ratio
Fixed assets sales ratio = Fixed assets / Level of sales
= 1,944,000,000/7,777,777,777.78
= 0.249942857
= 0.25
c. Calculation of Increase in Fixed assets
Increase in fixed assets = Fixed assets sales ratio * (Increase in sales - Level of sales)
= 0.249942857 * (7,000,000,000*1+15% - 7,777,777,777.78)
= 0.249942857 * (8,050,000,000 - 7,777,777,777.78)
= 0.249942857 * 272,222,222.222
= $68,040,000.
A company forecasts growth of 6 percent for the next five years and 3 percent thereafter. Given last year's free cash flow was $100, what is its horizon value (PV looking forward from year 4) if the company cost of capital is 8 percent?
a. $0
b. $1,672
c. $2,000
d. $2,676
Answer:
d. $2,676
Explanation:
The computation of the horizontal value is shown below:
FCF1 = (100 × 1.06) = 106
FCF2 = (106 × 1.06) = 112.36
FCF3 = (112.36 × 1.06) = 119.1016
FCF4 = (119.1016 × 1.06) = 126.247696
FCF5 = (126.247696 × 1.06) = 133.8225578
Now
Horizon value is
= FCF5 ÷ (Cost of capital - Growth rate)
= 133.8225578 ÷ (0.08 - 0.03)
= $2,676
Hence, the correct option is d.
According to the question,
The computation of the horizontal value will be:
→ [tex]FCF_1 = 100\times 1.06[/tex]
[tex]= 106[/tex]
→ [tex]FCF_2 = 106\times 1.06[/tex]
[tex]= 112.36[/tex]
→ [tex]FCF_3 = 112.36\times 1.06[/tex]
[tex]= 119.1016[/tex]
→ [tex]FCF_4 = 119.1016\times 1.06[/tex]
[tex]= 126.25[/tex]
→ [tex]FCF_5 = 126.25\times 1.06[/tex]
[tex]= 133.8226[/tex]
hence,
The horizon value will be:
= [tex]\frac{FCF_5}{Cost \ of \ capital - Growth \ rate}[/tex]
By putting the values, we get
= [tex]\frac{133.8226}{0.08-0.03}[/tex]
= [tex]2,676[/tex] ($)
Thus the above approach i.e., "option d" is right.

You are the marketing analyst for Better Beans Coffee Company, which has nine stores nationwide. The company wants to build two additional stores. Your executive team has decided that rather than expand to new markets, they want Better Beans to begin opening additional stores in existing markets. While this will create cannibalization in the short term, it will create marketing and operating efficiencies as more stores are opened in each city.As a scrappy and growing startup, Better Beans does not yet have access to complex marketing analytics software. Fortunately, you are an expert at gathering market data from inside and outside the company and crunching accurate numbers with nothing more than an Excel spreadsheet.You have been tasked with calculating the two best markets for opening an additional store. You have already calculated two things that allow you to estimate the net additional revenue in each market after adding a second store:Revenue for a second store in each marketThe revenue lost from estimated cannibalization at the first store.Important note: Due to the high investments already made in existing stores, management has specified that any market where cannibalization is 25% or more should be eliminated from consideration.1.

1. San Diego's $2,750,000 and Orlando's $1,525,000 presented the highest net revenue increases when adding a second store.
2. Based on management's criteria that the cannibalization rate for the existing store should be less than 30%, San Diego with 10% and Los with 10% Cannibalization rates should be chosen.
Explanation:
Cannibalization Rate is a measure of the impact of new products or the presence of new stores on sales revenue for existing products or stores. Cannibalization happens when a business, like the Better Beans Coffee Company, opens a new store in a town where there is an existing store. It can also happen when Better Beans releases new coffee products. Consumers' attention and demand for existing products can decrease, as a switch to new products or new stores takes place.

Answer:
"Output" is the right approach.
Explanation:
Performance monitoring would be an output control method where current output measures are opposed to scheduled output to detect issues at the job core. That's the method used to analyze the production, which would be the end outcome or the facilities that an organization offers. It must be clearly explained that the production or the final result is the only component to be evaluated by the client.Joint Cost Allocation—Net Realizable Value Method Nature's Garden Inc. produces wood chips, wood pulp, and mulch. These products are produced through harvesting trees and sending the logs through a wood chipper machine. One batch of logs produces 20,304 cubic yards of wood chips, 14,100 cubic yards of mulch, and 9,024 cubic yards of wood pulp. The joint production process costs a total of $32,000 per batch. After the split-off point, wood chips are immediately sold for $25 per cubic yard while wood pulp and mulch are processed further. The market value of the wood pulp and mulch at the split-off point is estimated to be $22 and $24 per cubic yard, respectively. The additional production process of the wood pulp costs $5 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $30 per cubic yard. The additional production process of the mulch costs $4 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $32 per cubic yard.

Lincoln’s landlord has included a clause in the rental contract that makes it possible for him to increase Lincoln’s monthly rent if taxes on the property go up. Which clause was included in the contract?
a. tariffs clause.
b. variable costs clause.
c. escalator clause.
d. elastic demand clause.
e. elevator clause.
Answer:
The appropriate answer is Option c (Escalator clause).
Explanation:
The landlord of Lincoln also put a disclaimer throughout the rental lease which allows him to raise the mortgage payment of Lincoln if property wages increase. The deal had an escalator clause.An Escalator clause would be a clause inside a leasing contract as well as rent disclosure that ensures the improvement in rent sum regardless of the reasons which were not under influence of all the participants. Throughout this situation the taxation on land is raised by that of the government therefore adjustment in taxes wasn't in the jurisdiction of all entities.The other options given aren't connected to just the given case. In such a way that the response above is right.
Tyrone wants to spend $15,000 on a new car three years from now. He opens a savings account and deposits $3,250 today. One year from now, he plans to deposit $3,000 in the account, and one year after that, he plans to deposit another $3,000. If the account earns 6% interest per year, how much additional money will Tyrone need to meet his $15,000 goal?
Answer:
Tyrone will need $4578.4 to meet his $15,000 goal
Explanation:
Tyrone wants to spend amount on a new car three years from now=$15,000
Formula : [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^n[/tex]
Where A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.
Future value of deposits=[tex]3250 \times(1.06)^3+3000 \times(1.06)^2+3000 \times (1.06)[/tex]
Future value of deposits= 10421.60
So, additional money needed=15000-10421.60=4578.4
Hence Tyrone will need $4578.4 to meet his $15,000 goal

To calculate the unitary variable costs and unitary fixed costs, we need to use the following formulas:
unitary variable cost= total variable cost/number of units
unitary fixed cost= total fixed cost/number of units
For 76,800:
unitary variable cost= 27,648/76,800= $0.36
unitary fixed cost= 30,720/76,800= $0.4
Total unitary cost= 58,368/76,800= $0.76
For 96,000:
unitary variable cost= 27,648/96,000= $0.29
unitary fixed cost= 30,720/96,000= $0.32
Total unitary cost= 58,368/96,000= $0.61
For 128,000:
unitary variable cost= 27,648/128,000= $0.22
unitary fixed cost= 30,720/128,000= $0.24
Total unitary cost= 58,368/128,000= $0.46
Check My Work (No more tries available) Field Industries' outstanding bonds have a 25-year maturity and $1,000 par value. Their nominal yield to maturity is 9.25%, they pay interest semiannually, and they sell at a price of $850. What is the bond's nominal (annual) coupon interest rate
Answer:
7.70%
Explanation:
Semi-annual YTM = 9.25%/2 = 4.625%
Number of periods = 25*2 = 50 Periods
C = Coupon Amount
Price of the bond = Present Value of coupon interests + Present Value of Par Value
$850 = C*(PVIFA 4.625%, 50 Years) + $1,000*(PVIF 4.625%, 50 Years)
$850 = (C x 19.3667869) + ($1000 x 0.1042861)
$850 = (C x 19.3667869) + 104.29
$745.71 = (C x 19.3667869])
C = $745.71 / 19.3667869
C = $38.50
Coupon payment (C) = $38.50
Hence, annual Coupon Amount = $38.50 * 2 = $77.00
Bond Nominal (annual) Coupon Interest Rate = (Annual Coupon Amount / Par Value) x 100
Bond Nominal (annual) Coupon Interest Rate = ($77.00 / 1,000) x 100
Bond Nominal (annual) Coupon Interest Rate = 7.70%
Admission prices to Dollywood are $50 for a one-day ticket, $80 for a two-day ticket, and $100 for an annual pass. Based on these prices, the marginal cost of visiting Dollywood the second day is _____, the third day is _____, and the fourth day is _____.
a. $40; $33.33; $25
b. $30; $20; $0
c. $30; $10; $10
d. $80; $100; $100
Answer: b. $30; $20; $0
Explanation:
Admission prices to Dollywood are $50 for a one-day ticket, $80 for a two-day ticket, and $100 for an annual pass. Based on these prices, the marginal cost of visiting Dollywood the second day is $30, the third day is $20, and the fourth day is $0.
The marginal cost is the extra cost per day of going to Dollywood.
Second day
Marginal cost = Second day price - First day
= 80 - 50
= $30
Third day
Marginal cost = Third day price - Second day
= 100 - 80
= $20
Fourth Day
Marginal cost = Fourth day price - third day
= 100 - 100
= $0
Determine which of the following transactions may require adjustments. (Check all that apply.) Multiple select question. Supplies were purchased at the beginning of the year, but not all were used. a 24-month insurance policy was prepaid Equipment was purchased in the middle of the year. Six months of rent were paid in advance. An advance payment was received from a customer earlier in the month, but only partially earned by the end of the month. a one-month premium on an insurance policy was paid An employee was paid his weekly wages in full at the end of the week. Rent was paid for the month.
Answer:
Transactions that require end-of-period adjustments:
1. Supplies were purchased at the beginning of the year, but not all were used.
2. a 24-month insurance policy was prepaid
3. Six months of rent were paid in advance.
4. An advance payment was received from a customer earlier in the month, but only partially earned by the end of the month.
Note: No. 3 depends on when the rent was paid.
Explanation:
These transactions do not require any end-of-period adjustments:
1. Equipment was purchased in the middle of the year.
2. a one-month premium on an insurance policy was paid
3. An employee was paid his weekly wages in full at the end of the week.
4. Rent was paid for the month.
These four transactions require recording in the journals and not adjustments. They do not require end-of-the-period adjusting entries. It is only the depreciation expense for the equipment that will require adjustment for the half year.

Workings:
Effective interest rate on first coupon received = [ $225,000,000 × 8%] - [ $250,000,000 × 6%]
= $18,000,000 - $15,000,000

Assuming the Sporty line is discontinued, total fixed costs remain unchanged, and the space formerly used to produce the Sporty line is used to increase the production of Luxury watches by 250%, how will operating income be affected
Answer:
c. Increase of $192,500
Explanation:
Note: The full question is attached
Particulars Luxury Amount$
Sales $950,000
(380000*250/100)
Less: Variable cost $612,500
(245000*250/100 )
Total contribution $337,500
Less: Fixed expenses $80,000
Net Operating Income $257,500
Change in Operating Income = New Profit - Existing profit = $257,500 - $65,000 = $192,500
Hence, there is an increase of $192,500
Marigold Corp. wants to sell a sufficient quantity of products to earn a profit of $100000. If the unit sales price is $13, unit variable cost is $8, and total fixed costs are $200000, how many units must be sold to earn income of $100000?
Answer:
Units to be sold= 60,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The unit sales price is $13, the unit variable cost is $8, and the total fixed costs are $200,000.
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the break-even point in units formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (200,000 + 100,000) / (13 - 8)
Break-even point in units= 60,000
Units to be sold= 60,000
You estimate that by the time you retire in 35 years, you will have accumulated savings of $2 million. If the interest rate is 8% and you live 15 years after retirement, what annual level of expenditure will those savings support?
Answer:
We can use the present value of an annuity formula to determine the annual distribution. I'm assuming that your distributions will be made in a similar manner to an annuity due (the first payment happens when you retire).
annual distribution = principal balance / PV annuity factor
principal balance = $2,000,000PV factor annuity due, 8%, 15 periods = 9.24424annual distribution = $2,000,000 / 9.24424 = $216,350.94
if instead, the first distribution is received at the end of the first year of retirement, then the annual distribution will be:
annual distribution = principal balance / PV annuity factor
principal balance = $2,000,000PV factor ordinary annuity, 8%, 15 periods = 8.55948annual distribution = $2,000,000 / 8.55948 = $233,659.05
