Eaton Electronics uses a periodic inventory system. On March 31, Eaton has two plasma TVs on hand at a cost of $1,800 each (serial numbers 11534892 and 11534894). In April, the company purchases four more identical TVs from Toshiba for $1,600 each (serial numbers 11542631 through 11542634). In May, the company purchases five more identical TVs for $1,900 each (serial numbers 11550964 through 11550968). In June, Eaton sells two of these TVs (serial numbers 11534894 and 11542631). There were no additional purchases or sales during the remainder of the year.
Eaton Electronics uses the specific identification method. What is its cost of goods sold?
a. $3,800
b. $3,533
c. $3,600
d. $3,400
Answer:
The cost of goods sold is $3400 and option D is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Specific identification method is a method for valuing ending inventory which requires a detailed physical count to determine what units of inventory are available to the company as closing inventory.
The cost of goods sold will be the sum of the costs of the specified inventory units which are sold.
The cost of goods sold for Eaton will include a TV from the beginning inventory for serial no 11534894 at a cost of $1800 and a TV from the April purchases with serial no 11542631 at a cost of $1600.
The cost of goods sold is thus = 1800 + 1600 = $3400

Blowing Sand Company has just received a one-time offer to purchase 9,400 units of its Gusty model for a price of $30 each. The Gusty model normally sells for $38 and costs $34 to produce ($24 in variable costs and $10 of fixed overhead). Because the offer came during a slow production month, Blowing Sand has enough excess capacity to accept the order. 1. Should Blowing Sand accept the special order
Answer:
Net income from special order = $56,400
Blowing Sand Company should accept the order because it will increase net income by $56,400
Explanation:
In order to carry out an incremental analysis, only relevant cash flows should be considered.
The relevant cash flows from accepting the special order are the variable costs and the sales revenue.
Please, note that the fixed costs are not relevant for this decision. Simply because they would be incurred either way.
1. The sales revenue from the order- $30 × 9400 = $282,000
2. the variable cost of production $24 per unit × 9,400 = $225,600
The contribution from the special order would be determined as follows:
Contribution from special order = sales revenue - variable cost
= $282,000 - $225,600
= $56,400
Blowing Sand Company should accept the order

Your goal is to have $12,500 in your bank account by the end of six years. If the interest rate remains constant at 9% and you want to make annual identical deposits, how much will you need to deposit in your account at the end of each year to reach your goal
Answer:
Annual deposit = $1,661.497
Explanation:
This investment scheme been considered is known as sinking funds.
A Sinking Fund involves saving a series of equal amount periodically invested at certain rate of interest to accumulate a target amount in the future.
The amount to be deposited periodically can be determined as follows:
A= FV/ ((1+r)^(n) - 1)/n)
A- annual deposit, FV- future value - $12,500 r- 9%, n- 6
So we can apply this formula as follows:
A = 12,500/ (1.09^(6)-1)/0.09
A = $1,661.497
Dreary Credit Agency uses a standard cost system for the processing of its credit applications. The labor standard at Dreary is 10 applications per 8 hour day at a standard cost of $15 per hour. During the last pay period, Dreary's credit agents worked 1,920 hours and processed 2,500 applications. The total labor cost for the agents during this period was $29,184. What was Dreary's labor efficiency variance for this last pay period
Answer:
The labor efficiency variance for this last pay period was $1,200 Favorable.
Explanation:
In order to calculate Dreary's labor efficiency variance for this last pay period, we have to calculate first the standard hours allowed for actual work using the following formula:
Standard hours
allowed for actual work= ( Total number of applications ) × number of
Standard number of applications hours worked
= (2.500 applications)× 8 hours
10 applications
=2,000 hours
After having calculated the Standard hours allowed for actual work, we can calculate the labor efficiency variance using the following formula:
labor efficiency variance= (Actual hours worked-Standard hours allowed for actual work)× standard rate
= (1,920-2,000)×$15
=-$1,200
The Labor efficiency variance is $1,200 Favorable.
if you’ve just recovered from prostate cancer within the last few years, an insurance company might require you to pay a 20% extra premium on your net premium for 3 years. Calculate the gross monthly premium during this 3 years, if the monthly gross premium after the 3 years is $100 and the monthly net premium among this $100 is $70
Final answer:
The gross monthly premium during the first 3 years after recovering from prostate cancer, with a 20% extra premium, is $114. This is calculated by adding the 20% extra charge of $14 to the stated gross premium of $100 that applies after the 3 years.
Explanation:
To calculate the gross monthly premium for the first 3 years after recovering from prostate cancer, where there is a 20% extra premium on the net premium, you can use the provided information about the net and gross premiums after those 3 years.
The given monthly net premium is $70, and an additional 20% of that is $14 (20% of $70). So, for the first 3 years, the additional cost will be $14 per month on top of the net premium, making the total monthly premium $84 ($70 + $14).
However, this is not the final gross premium. The question states that the gross monthly premium, after the 3 years, is $100. This $100 includes the net premium plus any additional fees or costs the insurance company adds to the net premium to get to the gross premium. Since we do not have information about other fees or costs, we have to assume that the 20% extra premium is the only additional cost. Therefore, to get the gross premium during the first 3 years, you add the additional cost ($14) to the stated gross premium after three years ($100), resulting in a total gross premium of $114 ($100 + $14) for the first 3 years.
Suppose that the market demand for 32-oz. wide mouth Nalgene bottles is Q = 50,000p^-1.076, where Q is the quantity of bottles per week and p is the price per bottle. The market supply is Q = 0.01p^7.208. What is the equilibrium price and quantity? What is the consumer surplus? What is the producer surplus?
Final answer:
To find the equilibrium price and quantity for Nalgene bottles, set the demand and supply functions equal and solve for the price, then plug that into either function. Consumer surplus is the difference between what consumers are willing to pay versus what they pay, while producer surplus is what producers get over their minimum acceptable price.
Explanation:
To find the equilibrium price and quantity for 32-oz. wide mouth Nalgene bottles, we need to set the market demand function Q = 50,000p^-1.076 equal to the market supply function Q = 0.01p^7.208 and solve for p. Once we find the equilibrium price, we substitute it back into either the demand or supply function to find the equilibrium quantity.
Consumer surplus is the difference between what consumers are willing to pay and what they actually pay, and producer surplus is the difference between the price at which producers are willing to sell and the price they actually receive.
To calculate consumer and producer surplus, we would need to determine the area above the supply curve and below the demand curve up to the equilibrium price. This involves integrating the demand function from zero to the equilibrium price for consumer surplus and integrating the supply function from zero to the equilibrium price for producer surplus.

Catamount Company had current and accumulated E&P of $500,000 at December 31, 20X3. On December 31, the company made a distribution of land to its sole shareholder, Caroline West. The land's fair market value was $200,000 and its tax and E&P basis to Catamount was $250,000. The tax consequences of the distribution to Catamount in 20X3 would be:
A. No loss recognized and a reduction in E&P of $250,000
B. $50,000 loss recognized and a reduction in E&P of $250,000
C. $50,000 loss recognized and a reduction in E&P of $150,000
D. No loss recognized and a reduction in E&P of $200,000
Answer:
D. No loss recognized and a reduction in E&P of $200,000
Explanation:
Given that:
Current and accumulated E&P : $500,000A distribution of land to its sole shareholder: $200,000E&P basis to Catamount : $250,000From that, we can see that the current and accumulated E&P is greater than its distribution of land so no loss would be reported so there will be reduction in earning and profits of the company of $200,000.
Hope it will find you well.

The Sisyphean Company's common stock is currently trading for $ 25.5 $25.5 per share. The stock is expected to pay a $ 2.5 $2.5 dividend at the end of the year and the Sisyphean Company's equity cost of capital is 15 15%. If the dividend payout rate is expected to remain constant, then the expected growth rate in the Sisyphean Company's earnings is closest to:
Answer:
5.2%
Explanation:
The computation of growth rate is shown below:-
Retained earning = (Expected dividend for the next year ÷ Current price of the stock) + Growth rate
15% = ($2.5 ÷ $25.5) + Growth rate
0.15 = $0.0980 + Growth rate
Growth rate = 0.15 - $0.0980
= $0.052
or
= 5.2%
So, for computing the growth rate we simply applied the above formula.
The firm is currently in the process of forecasting sales, asset requirements, and required funding for the coming year. In the year that just ended, Blue Elk Manufacturing generated $500,000 net income on sales of $13,000,000. The firm expects sales to increase by 16% this coming year and also expects to maintain its long-run dividend payout ratio of 45%. Suppose Blue Elk Manufacturing's assets are fully utilized, use the additional funds needed (AFN) equation to determine the increase in total assets that is necessary to support Blue Elk Manufacturing's expected sales. $460,000 $576,000 $528,000 $384,000 When a firm grows, some liabilities grow spontaneously along with sales. Spontaneous liabilities are a source of capital that the firm will generate internally, so they reduce the need for external capital. How much of the total increase in assets will be supplied by spontaneous liabilities for Blue Elk Manufacturing this year? $67,200 $51,200 $64,000 $76,800 In addition, Blue Elk Manufacturing is expected to generate net income this year. The firm will pay cut some of its earnings as dividends but will retain the rest for future asset investment. Again, the more a firm generates internally from its operations, the less it will have to raise externally from the capital markets. Assume that the firm's profit margin and dividend payout ratio are expected to remain constant. Given the preceding information, Blue Elk Manufacturing is expected to generate from operations that will be added to retained earnings. According to the AFN equation and projections for Blue Elk Manufacturing, the firm's AFN is
Answer:
Required Asset to increase sales by 16% is $480,000
Increased liability percentage is $64,000
Added to retained earnings $319,000
Explanation:
A project to build a new bridge seems to be going very well since the project is well ahead of schedule and costs seem to be running very low. A major milestone has been reached where the first two activities have been totally completed and the third activity is 75% complete. The planners were expecting to be only55% through the third activity at this time. The first activity involves prepping the site for the bridge. It was expected that this would cost $1,435,000 and it was done for only $1,315,000. The second activity was the pouring of concrete for the bridge. This was expected to cost $10,515,000 but was actually done for $9,015,000. The third and final activity is the actual construction of the bridge superstructure. This was expected to cost a total of $8,515,000. To date, they have spent $5,015,000 on the superstructure. Calculate the schedule variance, schedule performance index, and cost performance index for the project to date.
Answer:
Explanation:
Attached is the solution
The schedule variance is $83,000, the schedule performance index is approximately 1.005, and the cost performance index is approximately 1.090.
To calculate the schedule variance (SV), schedule performance index (SPI), and cost performance index (CPI) for the project to date, we need to use the following formulas:
1. Schedule Variance (SV): SV = (Earned Value) - (Planned Value)
2. Schedule Performance Index (SPI): SPI = (Earned Value) / (Planned Value)
3. Cost Performance Index (CPI): CPI = (Earned Value) / (Actual Cost)
First, we need to determine the Earned Value (EV), Planned Value (PV), and Actual Cost (AC) for each activity and for the project as a whole.
For the first activity (prepping the site):
- EV = AC = $1,315,000 (since the activity is 100% complete)
- PV = $1,435,000 (as planned)
For the second activity (pouring concrete):
- EV = AC = $9,015,000 (since the activity is 100% complete)
- PV = $10,515,000 (as planned)
For the third activity (construction of the bridge superstructure):
- EV = $8,515,000 x 0.75 = $6,386,250 (since the activity is 75% complete)
- PV = $8,515,000 x 0.55 = $4,683,250 (as planned)
- AC = $5,015,000 (as spent)
Now, we can calculate the total EV, PV, and AC for the project:
- Total EV = [tex]EV1 + EV2 + EV3[/tex] = $1,315,000 + $9,015,000 + $6,386,250 = $16,716,250
- Total PV =[tex]PV1 + PV2 + PV3[/tex] = $1,435,000 + $10,515,000 + $4,683,250 = $16,633,250
- Total AC = [tex]AC1 + AC2 + AC3[/tex] = $1,315,000 + $9,015,000 + $5,015,000 = $15,345,000
Now we can calculate the SV, SPI, and CPI:
1. Schedule Variance (SV): SV = Total EV - Total PV
SV = $16,716,250 - $16,633,250 = $83,000
2. Schedule Performance Index (SPI): SPI = Total EV / Total PV
SPI =[tex]$16,716,250 / $16,633,250 ≈ 1.005[/tex]
3. Cost Performance Index (CPI): CPI = Total EV / Total AC
CPI = [tex]$16,716,250 / $15,345,000 ≈ 1.090[/tex]
Therefore, the schedule variance is $83,000, the schedule performance index is approximately 1.005, and the cost performance index is approximately 1.090. This indicates that the project is slightly ahead of schedule and under budget.
On January 1, Snipes Construction paid for earth-moving equipment by issuing a $320,000, 3-year note that specified 4% interest to be paid on December 31 of each year. The equipment’s retail cash price was unknown, but it was determined that a reasonable interest rate was 7%. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
what amount should Snipes record the equipment and the note?
Answer:
$294,803.84
Explanation:
The computation of the equipment and the note is shown below:
Rate = 7% and the time = 3 years
Cash flow Table Value Amount Present Value
Par (Maturity) Value 0.81629 $320,000 $261,212.80
Interest (Annuity)
($320,000 × 4%) 2.6243 $12,800 $33,591.04
Price of equipment $294,803.84
The 0.81629 is
= 1 ÷ 1.07^3
And, the 2.6243 is the PVIFA factor
Final Answer:
Snipes Construction should record the equipment and the note at $294,720.
Explanation:
To determine the amount Snipes should record for the equipment and the note, we need to find the present value of the note payable using the appropriate interest factor from the tables provided. Since the note is a 3-year, 4% interest-bearing instrument, we use the PV of $1 table for a 3-year period and 4% interest rate. The present value factor for this combination is 0.786.
Present Value of Note Payable = $320,000 × 0.786 = $251,520
Next, we need to find the present value of the note's interest payments. Since the interest is paid annually, we use the PVAD of $1 table for a 3-year period and 7% interest rate, as the equipment's retail cash price is considered to have an implied interest rate of 7%. The present value annuity factor for this combination is 2.676.
Present Value of Interest Payments = $320,000 × 4% × 2.676 = $43,200
The total present value of the note and interest payments is $251,520 + $43,200 = $294,720. Therefore, Snipes Construction should record the equipment and the note at $294,720.
Clementine Company makes skateboards. They prepare master and flexible budgets and then perform variance analysis after the budget plan period elapses. Their data is as follows: Budget Actual Selling price per unit $109 $103 Variable cost per unit $59 $55 Quantity sold 948 935 What is the Clementine's flexible budget variance for VARIABLE COSTS? If the variance is unfavorable put a minus sign in front of your answer. Enter your answer without commas or decimals.
Answer:
$3,740 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the flexible budget variance for VARIABLE COSTS is shown below:
= Standard variable cost - actual variable cost
where,
Standard variable cost is
= 935 units × $59
= $55,165
And, the actual cost is
= 935 units × $55
= $51,425
So the flexible budget variance for variable cost is
= $55,165 - $51,425
= $3,740 favorable
Since the standard cost is more than the actual cost which leads to favorable variance
The flexible budget variance for variable costs for Clementine Company, calculated by subtracting the actual variable cost from the budget and then multiplying it by the actual quantity sold, is $3,740. This is a favorable variance as actual costs were below budget.
Explanation:The flexible budget variance for variable costs refers to the difference between the budgeted variable cost and the actual variable cost during a specific period. According to the provided figures, we can calculate the variance by multiplying the difference in unit variable costs ($59 budgeted - $55 actual) by the actual quantity of units sold (935 units).
So, Flexible Budget Variance for Variable Costs = (Budgeted Variable Cost per Unit - Actual Variable Cost per Unit) × Actual Quantity Sold.
Applying values, we have Flexible Budget Variance for Variable Costs = ($59 - $55) × 935 = $3,740. Hence, the flexible variance for variable costs for Clementine Company is $3,740. As actual costs were less than budgeted, we don't need to put a minus sign in front of our answer. This is considered a favorable variance because the actual costs for the company were less than what was budgeted.

Which of the following are true? Check all that apply. Most leadership theories and research studies have focused on female leaders. Top managers are increasingly responsible for maintaining high ethical standards for their own conduct, unfailingly exhibiting ethical behavior, and holding others in their organizations to the same standards. Some managers long accustomed to the traditional approach may have trouble changing to a coaching role. In Southern Asia, most employees want their leaders to be collaborative, sensitive to other people’s needs, and concerned with status and face saving.
Final answer:
Leadership research has traditionally focused on men, but recent studies highlight women's tendency towards a transformational leadership style. Ethical standards for top managers are heightened, demanding exemplary personal behavior. There's also an expectation in Southern Asia for leaders to be collaborative and sensitive to cultural norms.
Explanation:
The question examines the veracity of several statements regarding leadership theories, the ethical standards of top managers, the challenges faced by managers who may need to shift from a traditional approach to a coaching role, and cultural expectations for leadership in Southern Asia.
To address the statements:
Most leadership research historically focused on male leaders, not female leaders. However, more recent studies have given rise to a better understanding of female leadership styles. Women tend to exhibit an interpersonal or transformational leadership style, contrasting with men's tendency towards a more task-oriented or transactional style.Top managers are indeed being held to higher ethical standards in their conduct and are expected to exemplify and enforce ethical behavior in their organizations.Some managers accustomed to a traditional authoritative style might struggle with adopting a more engaged and supportive coaching role due to ingrained management practices that differ significantly from newer participative approaches.Cultural preferences for leadership styles indeed vary; for instance, employees in Southern Asia generally prefer leaders who are collaborative, attuned to people's needs, and sensitive to issues of status and face saving.It is therefore true that women do have different leadership styles compared to men, and that their contributions in leadership roles are increasingly being recognized and studied.
Rayya Co. purchases and installs a machine on January 1, 2017, at a total cost of $201,600. Straight-line depreciation is taken each year for four years assuming a seven-year life and no salvage value. The machine is disposed of on July 1, 2021, during its fifth year of service.
Prepare entries to record the partial year's depreciation on July 1, 2021, and to record the disposal under the following separate assumptions:
(1) The machine is sold for $63,000 cosh.
(2) An Insurance settlement of $52.920 is received due to the machine's total destruction in a fire.
Answer:
Debit Depreciation expense $14,400
Credit Accumulated depreciation $14,400
(1) Debit Other income/disposal account (p/l) $201,600
Credit Fixed Asset account $201,600
Debit Accumulated depreciation account $129,600
Credit Other income/disposal account (p/l) $129,600
Debit Cash account $63,000
Credit Other income/disposal account (p/l) $63,000
(2) Debit Other income/disposal account (p/l) $201,600
Credit Fixed Asset account $201,600
Debit Accumulated depreciation account $129,600
Credit Other income/disposal account (p/l) $129,600
Debit Cash account $52,920
Credit Other income (p/l) $52,920
Explanation:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.
It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset
Mathematically,
Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life
Annual Depreciation = $201,600/7
= $28,800
Between January and July 1 is 6 months hence depreciation
= 6/12 * $28800
= $14,400
Accumulated depreciation at time of sale/destruction
= 4*$28800 + $14400
= $129,600
When the amount received from the disposal of an asset is higher than the carrying value of the asset, the company makes a gain on disposal. The proceed from the disposal of an asset may be recorded in the disposal or other income account.
On disposal, the carrying amount of the asset is derecognized by
Debit Other income/disposal account (p/l)
Credit Asset account
with the cost of the asset, then,
Debit Accumulated depreciation account
Credit Other income/disposal account (p/l)
With the accumulated depreciation of the asset at the date of disposal,
Furthermore,
Debit Cash account
Credit Other income/disposal account (p/l)
with the amount received from the disposal or sale of the asset
Answer:
Entries to record the partial year's depreciation on July 1, 2021:
Debit Depreciation expense ($28,800x0.5) $14,400
Credit Accumulated depreciation $14,400
(To record accumulated depreciation - Jan. 1 - July 1, 2021)
(1) The following journals apply, if the machine is sold for $63,000 cash:
Debit Accumulated depreciation $129,600
Debit Loss on asset disposal $9,000
Debit Cash $63,000
Credit Machine cost (fixed asset) $201,600
(To record asset disposal)
(1) The following journals apply, if there was an insurance settlement of $52,920:
Debit Accumulated depreciation $129,600
Debit Loss on asset disposal ($52,920 - $72,000) $19,080
Debit Cash $52,920
Credit Machine cost (fixed asset) $201,600
(To record asset disposal)
Explanation:
Under straight-line method, depreciation is an allocation of the cost of an asset over its estimated useful life and it is expressed with this formula: (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($201,600 - 0) / 7 years = $28,800 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation on July 1, 2021 (4.5 Years) is $28,800 x 4.5 years $129,600.
So, the net book value (NBV) of the asset (expressed as Cost - Accumulated depreciation) is $201,600 - $129,600 = $72,000
Gain or loss on disposal = Sales proceed - NBV = $63,000 - $72,000 = $9,000 (loss)
Pearsall Company's defined benefit pension plan had a PBO of $268,000 on January 1, 2021. During 2021, pension benefits paid were $43,000. The discount rate for the plan for this year was 11%. Service cost for 2021 was $85,000. Plan assets (fair value) increased during the year by $46,000. The amount of the PBO at December 31, 2021, was:
Answer:
The correct answer is $339,480.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:
We can calculate the PBO at Dec.31 by using following formula:
PBO Dec.31 = PBO on Jan 1,2021 + Service cost + Interest - pension benefits paid
Where, Interest = 11 % × $268,000 = $29,480
By putting the value we get
PBO, Dec.31 = $268,000 + $85,000 + $29,480 - $43,000
= $339,480
Cassandra's Boutique has 2,100 shares outstanding at a market price per share of $26. Sally's has 3,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $41 a share. Neither firm has any debt. Sally's is acquiring Cassandra's for $58,000 in cash. The incremental value of the acquisition is $2,000. What is the value of Cassandra's Boutique to Sally's?
Answer:
$56,600
Explanation:
Given that,
Cassandra's Boutique:
2,100 shares outstanding at a market price per share of $26.
Sally's:
3,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $41 a share.
Acquiring Cassandra's boutique for cash = $58,000
Incremental value of the acquisition = $2,000
We can get the value of Cassandra's Boutique to Sally's by adding the incremental value of the acquisition to the market value of the shares of Cassandra's Boutique.
Firstly, we are calculating the market value of Cassandra's Boutique:
= Outstanding shares × Market price per share
= 2,100 × $26
= $54,600
Therefore, the value of Cassandra's Boutique to Sally's is as follows:
= market value of Cassandra's Boutique + Incremental value of the acquisition
= $54,600 + $2,000
= $56,600
Final answer:
The value of Cassandra's Boutique to Sally's is the purchase price of $58,000 plus the incremental value of $2,000, which totals $60,000.
Explanation:
To determine the value of Cassandra's Boutique to Sally's in an acquisition scenario, we must first recognize the total purchase price and the incremental value of the acquisition. Sally's is buying Cassandra's for $58,000 in cash, and the incremental value of the acquisition is $2,000. Therefore, the value of Cassandra's Boutique to Sally's is the purchase price plus the incremental value.
The calculation is straightforward: $58,000 (purchase price) + $2,000 (incremental value) = $60,000. This amount represents the total value that Sally's places on Cassandra's Boutique, factoring in the synergies or additional benefits Sally's expects to gain from the acquisition.
The manufacturing overhead budget at Foshay Corporation is based on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,200 direct labor-hours will be required in May. The variable overhead rate is $8.90 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $134,640 per month, which includes depreciation of $24,880. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The company recomputes its predetermined overhead rate every month. The predetermined overhead rate for May should be:
Answer:
The predetermined overhead rate for May should be: $18.70 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Predetermined Overhead rate is the rate that is used to allocate Overheads to Departments or Jobs.
Predetermined Overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity
= $134,640/7,200
= $18.70 per direct labor hour
Suppose that a company needs 1,500,000 items during a year and that preparation for each production run costs $900. Suppose also that it costs $22 to produce each item and $3 per year to store an item. Use the inventory cost model to find the number of items in each production run so that the total costs of production and storage are minimized.
Answer:
30,000 units
Explanation:
According to the inventory cost model, the production run size that minimizes costs is given by:
[tex]P = \sqrt{\frac{2*D*S}{H}}[/tex]
Where D is the annual demand (1,500,000 items), S is the cost of each production run ($900) and H is the holding cost per unit ($3). Applying the given data:
[tex]P = \sqrt{\frac{2*1,500,000*900}{3}}\\P=30,000\ units[/tex]
Each production run should consist of 30,000 units.
Consider two stocks, Stock D, with an expected return of 19 percent and a standard deviation of 35 percent, and Stock I, an international company, with an expected return of 10 percent and a standard deviation of 15 percent. The correlation between the two stocks is –0.04. What is the weight of each stock in the minimum variance portfolio?
Answer:
[tex]W_D=0.0843\\W_I=0.9157[/tex]
Explanation:
A minimum variance portfolio is a portfolio that consists of individually assets which are risky, hedged when traded together, thereby producing the lowest possible risk for the rate of expected return. It reduces the risk of assets by hedging and trading them together.
Given that for stock D:
expected return([tex]E_d[/tex]) = 19% = 0.19 and a standard deviation ([tex]S_d[/tex])= 35% = 0.35
For stock I
expected return ([tex]E_i[/tex]) = 10% = 0.10 and a standard deviation ([tex]S_i[/tex]) = 15% = 0.15
Correlation = -0.04
The weight of stock D ([tex]W_D[/tex]) is given as:
[tex]W_D=\frac{S_i^2-(S_d*S_i*c)}{S_d^2+S_i^2-(2*S_d*S_i*c)} =\frac{0.1^2-(0.35*0.1*-0.04)}{0.35^2+0,1^2-(2*0.35*0.1*-0.04)}=0.0843[/tex]
[tex]W_I=1-W_D=1-0.0843=0.9157[/tex]
Final answer:
The weights of Stock D and Stock I in the minimum variance portfolio are calculated using the formula that takes into account their individual variances and the correlation between them. The resulting weights will balance the portfolio to minimize overall risk.
Explanation:
To calculate the weights of each stock in the minimum variance portfolio, we use the formula for the weights of two assets in such a portfolio:
Weight of Stock D (
wD) = (\sigmaI2 - \rhoDI\sigmaD\sigmaI) / (\sigmaD2 + \sigmaI2 - 2\rhoDI\sigmaD\sigmaI)
Weight of Stock I (
wI) = (\sigmaD2 - \rhoDI\sigmaD\sigmaI) / (\sigmaD2 + \sigmaI2 - 2\rhoDI\sigmaD\sigmaI)
Using the given values for Stock D and Stock I:
Expected return of Stock D: 19%Standard deviation of Stock D: 35%Expected return of Stock I: 10%Standard deviation of Stock I: 15%Correlation between Stock D and I: –0.04Substituting the values into the formulas gives us:
wD = (0.152 - (-0.04)(0.35)(0.15)) / (0.352 + 0.152 - 2(-0.04)(0.35)(0.15))wI = (0.352 - (-0.04)(0.35)(0.15)) / (0.352 + 0.152 - 2(-0.04)(0.35)(0.15))After calculations, we find the weights in the minimum variance portfolio:
wD: Weight of Stock D in the portfoliowI: Weight of Stock I in the portfolioFor the current year ending January 31, Ringo Company expects fixed costs of $178, 500 and a unit variable cost of $41.50. For the coming year, a new wage contract will increase the unit variable cost to $45. The selling price of $50 per unit is expected to remain the same. Compute the break-even sales (in units) for the current year. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (in units) for the coming year, assuming the new wage contract is signed.
Answer:
The break-even sales (in units u) for the current year is 210,000 units.
The anticipated break-even sales (in units t) for the coming year, assuming the new wage contract is signed is 357,000 units.
Explanation:
The BEP which is the break even point is the point where the company's sales or revenue generated is equal to the cost incurred. As such, the BEP is the number of units that must be sold for the company to make neither a profit nor a loss.
Both sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.
The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income.
The break-even sales (in units u) for the current year
50u - 41.5u - 1785000 = 0
8.5u = 1785000
u = 1785000/8.5
= 210,000 units
The anticipated break-even sales (in units t) for the coming year, assuming the new wage contract is signed
50u - 45u - 1785000 = 0
5u = 1785000
u = 1785000/5
= 357,000 units
Martin Company had the following department information for the current year: work in process, May 1 (physical units), 8,000; completed and transferred out (physical units), 35,000; and work in process, May 31 (physical units), 13,000. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. What is the total number of equivalent units for materials in May
Final answer:
The total number of equivalent units for materials in May for Martin Company is calculated by adding the completed and transferred out units to the units in process at the end of the month, resulting in 48,000 equivalent units.
Explanation:
The student asked about calculating the total number of equivalent units for materials for Martin Company in the month of May, with given data on work in process at the beginning and end of the month, and completed and transferred out units. Since materials are added at the beginning of the process, the equivalent units for materials would be the total units introduced into the process for the month. This includes both units completed and transferred out and the units still in process at the end of the month. Therefore, the calculation would be:
Completed and transferred out: 35,000 unitsWork in process, May 31: 13,000 unitsTotal units for materials = 35,000 (completed and transferred) + 13,000 (ending work in process) = 48,000 equivalent units for materials in May.
Consider a no-load mutual fund with $580 million in assets and 20 million shares at the start of the year and with $630 million in assets and 21 million shares at the end of the year. During the year investors have received income distributions of $6 per share and capital gain distributions of $0.50 per share. Assuming that the fund carries no debt, and that the total expense ratio is 2%, what is the rate of return on the fund
Answer: 25.86%
Explanation:
Solving this question requires that we use all gains made and divide it by the original Nat Asset Value.
Here goes,
Opening NAV
NAV = Total Assets / No. Of shares
NAV = 580/20
Opening NAV = $29
Closing NAV
NAV = Total Assets / No. Of shares
NAV = 630/21
Closing NAV = $30
Rate of Return.
Calculating the rate of return will be as follows,
= (Closing NAV - Opening NAV + Capital gains distributions + income distributions) / Opening NAV
= (30 - 29 + 6 + 0.5) / 29
= 0.25862068965
= 25.86%
The rate of return on the fund is 25.86%
