Complete question:
piece of labor-saving equipment has just come onto the market that Mitsui Electronics, Ltd., could use to reduce costs in one of its plants in Japan. Relevant data relating to the equipment follow: Purchase cost of the equipment $ 412,500 Annual cost savings that will be provided by the equipment $ 75,000 Life of the equipment 10 years.
a) compute the payback period for the equipment.
b)If the company requires a payback period of four years or less, woud the equipment be purchased?
Yes or No
2a)Compute the simple return rate on the equipment. Use staight-line depreciation based on the equipment's useful life.
2b) Would the equipment be purchased if the company's required rate of return is 13%?
Yes or No
Answer:
1a) 5.5 years
1b) No
2a) 9.8%
2b) No
Explanation:
Given:
•Purchase cost of equipment = $412,500
• Annual cost of savings that will be provided by the equipment = $75,000
• Life of equipment= 10 years
a) To find payback period, we use:
[tex] \frac{cost of equipment}{annual savings cost}[/tex]
= $412,500/$75,000
= 5.5 years => 5 years and 6months
b) If the company requires a payback period of four years, the equipment should not be purchased, because the required payback period (4 years), is lesser than the actual payback period(5.5 years).
2a) Annual depreciation =
Cost of equipment/months per year
= $412,500/12
= $34,375
Net income =
Annual savings cost - annual depreciation
= $75,000-$34,375 = $40,625
Simple rate of return will be:
Net income/ cost
= $40,625/$412,500
= 0.098
= 9.8%
2b) No, the equipment should not be purchased because required rate of return is higher than actual return

The "law of demand" refers to the fact that, other things remaining the same, when the price of a good rises, A. the demand curve shifts leftward. B. there is a movement up along the demand curve to a smaller quantity demanded. C. there is a movement down along the demand curve to a larger quantity demanded. D. the demand curve shifts rightward.
Answer:
B. there is a movement up along the demand curve to a smaller quantity demanded.
Explanation:
Based on the laws of demand, if the price of the good rises the quantity demanded of that good would be reduced keeping other things constant and if the price of the good declines the quantity demanded of that good would be raised keeping other things constant.
It represents the inverse relation between the price and the quantity demanded of the good
Therefore the quantity demanded get decreased with the price
The law of demand states that when the price of a good rises, the quantity demanded decreases. Option B is the correct answer as it describes the movement along the demand curve to a smaller quantity demanded.
Explanation:The law of demand states that when the price of a good rises, the quantity demanded decreases. This means that as the price increases, people are less willing and able to purchase the good.
Option B is the correct answer. When the price of a good rises, there is a movement up along the demand curve to a smaller quantity demanded. This is because the higher price reduces the quantity that consumers are willing to buy.
For example, if the price of a pizza increases, people might choose to buy less pizza or substitute it with a different food item.

Thomson Co. produces and distributes semiconductors for use by computer manufacturers. Thomson Co. issued $1,200,000 of 10-year, 12% bonds on May 1 of the current year at face value, with interest payable on May 1 and November 1. The fiscal year of the company is the calendar year. Journalize the entries to record the following selected transactions for the current year. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles. May 1 Issued the bonds for cash at their face amount. Nov. 1 Paid the interest on the bonds. Dec. 31 Recorded accrued interest for two months.
When Thomson Co. issued $1,200,000 of bonds, they made a journal entry debiting Cash and crediting Bonds Payable. Interest payments are recorded by debiting Interest Expense and crediting Cash, and accrued interest is recorded by debiting Interest Expense and crediting Interest Payable.
A company like Thomson Co. can raise funds for operations or expansion by issuing bonds, which are debt securities. On May 1, Thomson Co. issued $1,200,000 of 10-year, 12% bonds at face value, meaning the bonds were sold for exactly what they are worth, and not at a premium or discount. To Journalize the issuance of the bonds, the entry on May 1 would be to debit Cash for $1,200,000 and credit Bonds Payable for $1,200,000, reflecting the receipt of cash in exchange for the obligation to pay back the bondholders in the future.
On November 1, when the first interest payment is due, Thomson Co. will make a payment of 12% annual interest on $1,200,000 for six months (from May to November), which equals $72,000 in interest (1,200,000 x 0.12 x 6/12). The entry to record this interest payment would be to debit Interest Expense for $72,000 and credit Cash for $72,000.
Finally, on December 31, Thomson Co. needs to record the accrued interest for two months (November and December), which amounts to $24,000 (1,200,000 x 0.12 x 2/12). The journal entry for the accrued interest would be to debit Interest Expense for $24,000 and credit Interest Payable for $24,000. This ensures that the financial statements reflect the expense incurred during the current year, even though the payment will be made the next year.
Light Me Up Lamps has variable expenses of 40% of sales and monthly fixed expenses of $240,000. The monthly target operating income is $60,000.
What is the monthly margin of safety as a percentage of target sales in dollars?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Light Me Up Lamps has variable expenses of 40% of sales and monthly fixed expenses of $240,000. The monthly target operating income is $60,000.
We weren't provided with the selling price and unitary variable cost. Neither with the actual sales. But, I will provide the formulas and a small example to guide an answer.
Using the percentage of variable cost per sale, we can calculate the contribution margin ratio. The contribution margin ratio is the percentage of sales available to cover for fixed costs.
Contribution margin ratio= (1 -0.4=/1= 0.6
Now, we can calculate the break-even point in dollars with the desired profit:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= (240,000 + 60,000) / 0.6
Break-even point (dollars)= $500,000
Let's suppose actual sales of $750,000.
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= (750,000 - 500,000)
Margin of safety= $250,000
Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level
Margin of safety ratio= 250,000/750,000= 0.33= 33%
The monthly margin of safety as a percentage of target sales in dollars for Light Me Up Lamps is 20%. This calculation involves finding the contribution margin ratio, the break-even sales, the target sales and subsequently the margin of safety.
Explanation:To calculate the monthly margin of safety as a percentage of target sales in dollars, we must first find the contribution margin ratio and the break-even sales.
First, since it's given that the company's variable expenses are 40% of sales, its contribution margin ratio becomes 60% (because 100% - 40% = 60%).
Secondly, the company's break-even sales are calculated by dividing its fixed expenses by the contribution margin ratio. Hence, $240,000 / 0.6 = $400,000.
Thirdly, we need to determine the company's target sales which is given by the equation: Fixed costs + target operating income divided by contribution margin ratio. This results in $240,000 + $60,000) / 0.6 = $500,000.
Finally, the margin of safety is calculated by subtracting break-even sales from target sales, then dividing the result by target sales and multiplying by 100% to turn it into a percentage. Hence, ($500,000 - $400,000) / $500,000 * 100% = 20%.

Each business day, on average, a company writes checks totaling $12,900 to pay its suppliers. The usual clearing time for the checks is four days. Meanwhile, the company is receiving payments from its customers each day, in the form of checks, totaling $23,900. The cash from the payments is available to the firm after two days.
Calculate the company’s disbursement float, collection float, and net float
Answer:
A.Disbursement float: $51,600
Collection float:–$47,800
Net float $27,700
B.New collection float -23,900
New net float $27,700
Explanation:
A. The disbursement float can be defined as the average monthly checks written times the average number of days for the checks to clear.
Disbursement float = 4($12,900)
Disbursement float = $51,600
The collection float can be seen as the average monthly checks received times the average number of days for the checks to clear.
Collection float = 2(–$23,900)
Collection float = –$47,800
The net float can be defined as the disbursement float plus the collection float, so:
Net float = $51,600 – $47,800
Net float = $3,800
B. New collection float will be:
Collection float = 1(–$23,900)
Collection float = –$23,900
And the new net float will be:
Net float = $51,600 – 23,900
Net float = $27,700
Wall-E makes 2 products, frames and hangers. Frames have a contribution margin per unit of $6.00 and hanger has a contribution margin per unit of $11.00. Wall-E has annual fixed costs of $290,000 units. Assume that frames and hangers are sold in a 3:1 mix (3 frames are sold for each hanger). How many units of each must be sold to break-even
Answer:
Break-even point (units)=40,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Frames have a contribution margin per unit of $6.00 and hanger has a contribution margin per unit of $11.00. Wall-E has annual fixed costs of $290,000 units.
We need to calculate the break-even point in units for the whole company.
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (6*0.75) + (11*0.25)
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 7.25
Break-even point (units)= 290,000/7.25
Break-even point (units)=40,000 units
Maria Lorenzi owns an ice cream stand that she operates during the summer months in West Yellowstone, Montana. She is unsure how to price her ice cream cones and has experimented with two prices in successive weeks during the busy August season. The number of people who entered the store was roughly the same each week. During the first week, she priced the cones at $4.80 and 2,185 cones were sold. During the second week, she priced the cones at $5.30 and 1,750 cones were sold. The variable cost of a cone is $1.00 and consists solely of the costs of the ice cream and the cone itself. The fixed expenses of the ice cream stand are $2,030 per week. Required: 1. What profit did Maria earn during the first week when her price was $4.80
Answer:
The correct answer is $6,283 .
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Sales = 2,185 × $4.8
= $10,488
Variable cost = 2,185 × $1.00
= $2,185
Contribution = Sales - Variable cost
= $10,488 - $2,185
= $8,303
Fixed cost = $2,030 per week
We can calculate the profit by using following formula:
Profit = Contribution - Fixed cost
By putting the value in the formula, we get
= $8,303 - $2,020
= $6,283
The predetermined overhead rate for Weed-B-Gone is $8, comprised of a variable overhead rate of $5 and a fixed rate of $3. The amount of budgeted overhead costs at normal capacity of $240,000 was divided by normal capacity of 30,000 direct labor hours, to arrive at the predetermined overhead rate of $8. Actual overhead for June was $15,800 variable and $9,100 fixed, and standard hours allowed for the product produced in June was 3,000 hours. The total overhead variance is:
A. $900 U.
B. $900 F.
C. $4,900 F.
D. $4,900 U.
Answer:
The answer is $A. $900 U.
Explanation:
We have the: Total overhead variance = Overhead applied - Actual overhead in which:
+ Overhead applied = Standard hours x Overhead application rate = 3,000 x 8 = $24,000;
+ Actual overhead = Variable overhead + fixed overhead = 15,800 + 9,100 = $24,900
=> Total overhead variance = Overhead applied - Actual overhead = 24,000 - 24,900 = 900 Unfavorable as the actual overhead is bigger than the overhead applied ( planned cost is lower than actual cost incurred).
So, the answer is A.

Wood Company makes two types of chairs. One of the chairs is a rocking chair. The other is a straight-back chair. Both chairs are made by hand. Wood Company uses a companywide overhead rate that is based on direct labor hours to assign overhead costs to the two products. If Wood Company automates the production of straight-back chairs and continues to use direct labor hours as a companywide allocation basis:
a. rocking chairs will be undercosted
b. there should be no impact on unit cost
c. straight back chairs will be overcosted
d. rocking chairs will be overcosted.
Answer:
d. rocking chairs will be overcosted.
Explanation:
Since in the given situation, if the company automates the production of straight-back chairs so the direct hours of straight back chairs will be decreased and the rocking chairs would remain constant and we assume that overall overhead remain the same
In addition, Overall Direct working hours would minimize the proportion of Direct rocking chair working hours in total direct working hours. As a result, the overhead allocation to the Rocking chair would also increase on the basis of Direct Labor hours than before. And it would overcoat the rocking chairs.
Hence, the correct option is d.
Automating the production of straight-back chairs at Wood Company and continuing to use direct labor hours as a companywide allocation basis will result in the overcosting of rocking chairs. The correct option is d.
Explanation:If the Wood Company automates the production of straight-back chairs and continues to use direct labor hours as a companywide allocation basis, the most likely impact would be to overcost the rocking chairs.
This is so because by automating the production of straight-back chairs, the direct labor hours for these chairs will decrease drastically, whereas the direct labor hours for the handmade rocking chairs remain the same.
As a result, a larger portion of the overheads based on direct labor hours will be assigned to the rocking chairs, making them appear more costly than they actually are. Hence, option 'd. rocking chairs will be overcosted' is the correct one. The correct option is d.

The new machine would cost $25,720 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use can be sold for $9,500 if the new machine is purchased. The new machine would have a useful life of ten years with a $6,000 salvage value. Calculate the accounting rate of return on the machine that Horn Company is considering buying. Enter your answer as a number without the % symbol. For example, if your answer is 10%, simply enter 10 as your answer.
Answer:
Accounting rate of return is 6%
Explanation:
The new machine would cost $108,000 minus the trade-in value of the old machine i.e $108,000-$9500=$98,500.00
The annual profit =Savings of operational costs on the old machine-costs of operating the new machine-depreciation
Costs of operating the old machine is $41,830
Costs of operating the new machine is $25,720
annual depreciation on the new machine=($108,000-$6,000)/10=$10,200
annual profit=$41,830-$25,720-$10,200=$5,910
Accounting rate of return=annual profit/average operating assets
accounting rate of return=$5,910/$98,500=6%

Purchased merchandise from a foreign supplier on January 20 for the U.S. dollar equivalent of $62,900 and paid the invoice on April 20 at the U.S. dollar equivalent of $53,200.
On September 1, borrowed the U.S. dollar equivalent of $305,000 evidenced by a note that is payable in the lender's local currency in one year. On December 31, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the principal amount was $322,000.
Required:
In Matthias's 2017 income statement, what amount should be included as a net foreign exchange gain or loss?
Answer:
$7,300 loss
Explanation:
The computation of the net foreign exchange gain or loss included in the income statement is shown below:
Since the merchandise purchased value is $62,900
And, the paid amount is $53,200
So, the gain on transaction is
= $62,900 - $53,200
= $9,700
The borrowed amount is $305,000
And, the principal amount is $322,000
So, the loss is
= $305,000 - $322,000
= $17,000 loss
So in this case $7,300 loss is included which is a difference of $9,700 and $17,000

Explanation:
Suppose the price index was 110 in 2004, 120 in 2005, and 125 in 2006. Which of the following statements is correct? a. The economy experienced inflation between 2004 and 2005 and between 2005 and 2006. b. The inflation rate was positive between 2004 and 2005, and it was negative between 2005 and 2006. c. The inflation rate was higher between 2005 and 2006 than it was between 2004 and 2005. d. All of the above are correct.
Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Price index in the year 2004 = 110
Price index in the year 2005 = 120
Price index in the year 2006 = 125
Inflation rate refers to the rate at which the prices of goods increases from one year to the other.
Consumer price index indicates the inflation in a particular year.
Inflation between 2004 and 2005:
= (Price index in the year 2005 - Price index in the year 2004) ÷ Price index in the year 2004
= (120 - 110) ÷ 110
= 10 ÷ 110
= 0.0909 or 9.09%
Inflation between 2005 and 2006:
= (Price index in the year 2006 - Price index in the year 2005) ÷ Price index in the year 2005
= (125 - 120) ÷ 120
= 5 ÷ 120
= 0.0417 or 4.17%
Therefore, the inflation between 2004 and 2005 is higher than the inflation between 2005 and 2006.
Final answer:
The economy indeed experienced inflation between 2004 and 2005 and between 2005 and 2006, making the correct answer option a.
Explanation:
Suppose the price index was 110 in 2004, 120 in 2005, and 125 in 2006. The correct statement regarding this situation is: The economy experienced inflation between 2004 and 2005 and between 2005 and 2006.
Inflation denotes the increase in the price level over a period. Comparing the price indexes provided: from 110 in 2004 to 120 in 2005 indicates an increase in the price level, thus inflation. Similarly, the increase from 120 in 2005 to 125 in 2006 also signifies inflation. Therefore, option a is correct.
It is incorrect to assert that inflation was negative between any of the years mentioned, as the price index continuously rose, indicating positive inflation rates throughout the period. Moreover, the statement about the inflation rate being higher in one period compared to the other is not supported without calculating the specific yearly rates of inflation.
The following materials standards have been established for a particular product: Standard quantity per unit of output Standard price 9.2 grams $14.70 per gram The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual materials purchased.. Actual cost of materials purchased. Actual materials used in production... Actual output 5,500 grams $76,450 5,100 grams 540 units The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. Required: a. What is the materials price variance for the month? b. What is the materials quantity variance for the month?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard quantity per unit= 9.2 grams
Standard price= $14.70 per gram
Actual materials purchased= 5,500 grams
The actual cost of materials= $76,450
Actual materials used in production= 5,100 grams
Actual output= 540 units
To calculate the direct material variances, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= 76,450/5,500= $13.9
Direct material price variance= (14.7 - 13.9)*5,500= $4,400 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 540*9.2= 4,968 grams
Direct material quantity variance= (4,968 - 5,100)*14.7= $1,940.4 unfavorable
The master budget at Western Company last period called for sales of 235,000 units at $9.40 each. The costs were estimated to be $3.00 variable per unit and $270,000 fixed. During the period, actual production and actual sales were 240,000 units. The selling price was $9.50 per unit. Variable costs were $3.75 per unit. Actual fixed costs were $270,000. Required: Prepare a flexible budget for Western.
Answer:
Profit under flexible budget = $1,266,000 (please budget below)
Explanation:
Flexible budget is that which is that which recognizes the cost behavior and is used for control purpose. It is prepared based on the actual level of activity achieved using the assumptions of the static budget.
So we will prepare a flexible budget for Western Company for 240,000 units using the assumption of the static budget.
Flexible Budget
$
Sales Revenue (240,000× $9.40) = 2,256,000
Variable cost (240,000× $3.00) = ( 720,000 )
Contribution 1,536,000
Fixed cost (270,000)
Profit 1,266,000
A flexible budget adjusts with the volume of activity. For Western Company, based on 240,000 units sold at $9.50 each, factoring in costs, the operating income is $1,110,000.
Explanation:To prepare a flexible budget for Western, we need to remember that a flexible budget adjusts with the volume of activity (sales units in this case). Our budget will be based on the actual level of activity, which is 240,000 units.
Here's the step-by-step process:
First, multiply the actual units (240,000) by the actual selling price per unit ($9.50). This gives us actual revenue of $2,280,000.Second, multiply the actual units by the actual variable cost per unit ($3.75). This results in total variable costs of $900,000.The actual fixed costs need no adjusting; they remain at $270,000.Now, subtract both total variable costs and fixed costs from actual revenue to compute the flexible budget operating income. $2,280,000 - $900,000 - $270,000 equals $1,110,000.So based on these calculations, the flexible budget for Western Company is as follows: Total revenue of $2,280,000, total costs of $1,170,000 (including variable and fixed), and a resulting operating income of $1,110,000.

Gerry bought 100 shares of stock for $30.00 per share on 70% margin. Assume Gerry holds the stock for one year and that his interest costs will be $45 over the holding period. Gerry also received dividends amounting to $0.30 per share. Ignoring commissions, what is his percentage return on invested capital if he sells the stock for $34 a share?
THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR GERRY WILL BE
Explanation:
TO CALCULATE RETURN ON INVESTMENT :
PURCHASE VALUE WILL BE TAKEN AS $30×100= 3000
DIVIDEND =$0.30×100
= $30
INTEREST PAID = $ 45
SALE PRICE = $34*100
= $3400
TOTALRETURN WILL BE CALCULATED AS SALES MINUS PURCHASE AND ADDING DIVIDEND AND SUBTRACTING INTEREST PAID WHICH IS = $3400-$3000+$30-$45= $385
NOW WE WILL CALCULATE CAPITAL INVESTMENT WHICH IS =[tex]\frac{TOTAL RETURN}{CAPITAL INVESTMENT}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{385}{2100}[/tex] × 100=18.33%
OUR ACTUAL CAPITAL INVESTMENT IS 70%×3000 = $2100.
The percentage return is 18.33%.
The calculation is as follows:Amount invested is
= 30 × 100 × 70%
= $2,100
Now
Total return is
= (100 × 0.3) + 100 × (34 - 30) - 45
= 385
Now finally
Return on invested capital is
= 385 ÷ 2100
= 18.33%
Therefore we can conclude that the percentage return is 18.33%.

The following information relates to Kew Company's Vale Division for last year: sales .................................. $500,000 variable costs ......................... 300,000 fixed costs ............................ 50,000 return on investment ................... 25% minimum required rate of return ........ 6% Calculate the residual income reported by Vale Division last year.
Answer:
$114,000
Explanation:
The computation of the residual income is shown below:
As we know that
Residual Income = Net operating Income - Average Operating assets × Required rate of return
where,
Net Operating Income is
= Sales Revenue - Variable Costs - Fixed Costs
= $500,000 - $300,000 - $50,000
= $150,000
And,
Average operating Assets is
= Net Operating Income ÷ Return on Investment
= $150,000 ÷ 0.25
= $600,000
So, the residual income is
= $150,000 - $600,000 × 6%
= $150,000 - $36,000
= $114,000
