Final answer:
The production budget for the second quarter is determined by calculating the number of units to be produced each month, aligning with sales forecasts and inventory policy, which mandates a 25% ending inventory relative to the next month's sales.
Explanation:
The production budget for Aqua-pro Inc. requires calculating the number of units to be produced each month based on sales forecasts and inventory policy. With the given unit sales for April (180,000), May (220,000), June (200,000), and July (240,000), along with the company's ending inventory policy of 25% of the next month's sales, we can calculate the production for each month.
For April, the beginning inventory is 21,000, and the desired ending inventory is 25% of May's sales, which is 55,000 units (220,000 * 0.25). Therefore, the production needed for April is April's sales plus May's ending inventory minus April's beginning inventory (180,000 + 55,000 - 21,000 = 214,000 units). Using the same method, calculate for May and June by taking into account the desired ending inventory for the following month and the actual unit sales of the current month.
To find the total production for the quarter, simply add the production amounts for April, May, and June. Keep in mind that July's beginning inventory also needs to be 25% of August's sales (which we assume to be equal to July's sales unless stated otherwise).

he equilibrium price at which a perfectly competitive firm sells its good is $5. The profit-maximizing quantity of output is 70 units. At this quantity of output, the firm has an average fixed cost of $2 and an average variable cost of $7. In the short run, this perfectly competitive firm should .
Answer:
Price is greater than the average variable cost in the short run the firm will Continue to operate.
Explanation:
Total Revenue = price quantity sold = $5 × 70
= $350
Total Cost = (Average variable cost + Average fixed cost) × Quantity
= ($7 + $2) × 70
= $9 × 70
= $630
Therefore,The total revenue of the company is less than its total cost which means that the company is incurring losses. However, a firm should function in the short run as long as its price meets the average cost of the product.
In this case, the price is 5 dollars and the average variable cost is 7 dollars. So, price is greater than the average variable cost in the short run the firm will Continue to operate.
A company that just paid a $1.60 annual dividend is currently priced at $40. You estimate the company will grow at 10% per year for the next 4 years and then grow at 6% per year for the next 2 years before leveling off to an estimated terminal growth rateof 4%. Assume stock’s beta is 1.2, the risk-free rate is 3% and the return on the market portfolio is 9%. Based on your assumptions, is this stock undervalued or overvalued? By how much?
Answer:
The stock stock's fair value is $34.02 and it is over valued in the market by $5.98
Explanation:
The required rate of return on the stock can be calculated using the SML approach. The required rate using SML will be,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
r = 3% + 1.2 * (9% - 3%)
r = 10.20%
Using the dividend discount model, we can calculate the fair price of the stock today. DDM bases the value of a stock on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The price today under DDM is,
P0 = 1.6 * (1+0.1) / (1+0.102) + 1.6 * (1+0.1)^2 / (1+0.102)^2 +
1.6 * (1+0.1)^3 / (1+0.102)^3 + 1.6 * (1+0.1)^4 / (1+0.102)^4 +
1.6 * (1+0.1)^4 * (1+0.06) / (1+0.102)^5 + 1.6 * (1+0.1)^4 * (1+0.06)^2 / (1+0.102)^6
+ [ (1.6 * (1+0.1)^4 * (1+0.06)^2 * (1+0.04) / (0.102 - 0.04)) / (1+0.102)^6 ]
P0 = $34.02
Difference = 40 - 34.02 = $5.98
The stock's fair value is less than the market value which means that the stock is overvalued in the market by $5.98.
In the current year, Mitchell Manufacturing expected Job No. 13 to cost $600,000 of overhead, $650,000 of materials, and $400,000 of labor. Mitchell applied overhead based on direct labor cost. Actual production required an overhead cost of $420,000, $750,000 of materials used, and $300,000 of labor. All of the goods were completed. What amount was transferred from Work in Process to Finished Goods?
Answer:
Multiple choices:
$1,670,000.
$1,500,000.
$1,650,000.
$1,470,000.
The correct option is $1,500,000
Explanation:
The overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor cost as follows:
overhead allocation rate=$600,000/$400,000=1.5 times
Materials used $750,000
Labor cost $300,000
prime cost $1,050,000
overhead(direct labor cost*1.5)=300,000*1.5 $450,000
The amount of transferred finished goods from WIP $1,500,000
The correct option is B,$1,500,000
The option of $1,470,000 was computed by adding up all actual costs incurred without reference to the overhead allocation of 1.5

Connolly Company produces two types of lamps, classic and fancy, with unit contribution margins of $13 and $21, respectively. Each lamp must spend time on a special machine. The firm owns four machines that together provide 18,000 hours of machine time per year. The classic lamp requires 0.20 hours of machine time, the fancy lamp requires 0.50 hours of machine time. A maximum of 60,000 units of each lamps can be sold. What is the total contribution margin of the optimal mix of classic and fancy lamps?
Answer:
Total contribution margin of the optimal mix =$ 1,032,000
Explanation:
Whenever a company is faced with a limiting factor i.e a resource in short supply, the company should allocate the resource to the product with he highest contribution per unit of the scare resource
Product Cont/unit machine hr /unit cont/hr Ranking
classic $13 per unit 0.2 hour 65 per hour Ist
Fancy $21 per unit 0.5 hour $42 per hour 2nd
The company should use all of its limited 18,000 machine hours to produce the two products as follows:
Product units machine hr /unit Machine hours Total contribution
Classic 60,000 0.2 12,000 780,000
Fancy 12,000** 0.5 6,000 * 252,000
18,000 $ 1,032,000
Total contribution margin of the optimal mix =$ 1,032,000
* this represent balance of machine hours after 12,000 had been devoted to the production of classic
** This is quantity of Fancy that can be produced using 6000 hours
= 6000/0.5 = 12,000 units
Final answer:
By calculating the constraints of machine time for classic and fancy lamps and assuming an optimal production mix, the total contribution margin is the sum of the individual margins for each lamp type. Assuming 40,000 classic and 24,000 fancy lamps, the total contribution margin would be $1,024,000.
Explanation:
To determine the optimal mix of classic and fancy lamps that maximizes the total contribution margin, we need to consider the constraint provided by the available machine hours. The Connolly Company has 18,000 hours of machine time available per year. Since the classic lamps require 0.20 hours per unit and the fancy lamps require 0.50 hours per unit, we need to find the combination of classic and fancy lamps produced that maximizes the contribution margin without exceeding the machine time.
Let x be the number of classic lamps and y be the number of fancy lamps. The constraints for machine time can be expressed as 0.20x + 0.50y ≤ 18,000. Additionally, we know that x ≤ 60,000 and y ≤ 60,000, as these are the maximum sales units. The objective is to maximize the contribution margin, which is $13x + $21y.
Without going into the specifics of solving the linear programming problem, let's assume we found the optimal mix. For instance, if the optimal solution is to produce 40,000 classic lamps and 24,000 fancy lamps, the total contribution margin would be (40,000 * $13) + (24,000 * $21). We calculate these to find the answer.
Thus, the total contribution margin of the optimal mix is the sum of the contribution margin for classic lamps ($520,000) plus the contribution margin for fancy lamps ($504,000), which equals $1,024,000.

Kinslow Manufacturing Company paid a dividend yesterday of $2.50 per share. The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% per year. The price of Kinslow's common stock today is $25 per share. If Kinslow decides to issue new common stock, flotation costs will equal $2.00 per share. Keys' marginal tax rate is 34%. Based on the above information, the cost of retained earnings is;
Answer:
15.50%
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of retained earning is shown below:
As we know that
Price = Dividend × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)
$25 = $2.50 × (1 + 0.05) ÷ (required rate of return - 5%)
$25 = $2.625 ÷ (required rate of return - 5%)
After solving the required rate of return is 15.50%
We simply applied the above formula to find out the cost of retained earning
. Bob owned a duplex used as rental property. The duplex had an adjusted basis to Bob of $86,000 and a fair market value of $300,000. Bob transferred the duplex to his brother, Carl, in exchange for a triplex that Carl owned. The triplex had an adjusted basis to Carl of $279,000 and a fair market value of $300,000. Two months after the exchange, Carl sold the duplex to his business associate to whom he was not related for $312,000. How much, if any, gain or loss did Carl recognize with respect to the transaction with Bob
Answer:
A) No gain or loss on the exchange with Bob, and $12,000 gain on the subsequent sale
Explanation:
Since apparently both Bob and Charles owned their property for more than 2 years, the exchange classifies under section 1031 exchange between related parties. Therefore, no gain or loss should be recognized by any of them.
When Charles sold the property to his business associate, who is not related to him, he realize a $12,000 gain (= $312,00 - $300,000 basis).
The Ralston Company manufactures a special line of graphic tubing items. The company estimates it will sell 85,000 units of this item in 2016. The beginning finished goods inventory contains 30,000 units. The target for each year's ending inventory is 20,000 units. Each unit requires six feet of plastic tubing. The tubing inventory currently includes 85,000 feet of the required tubing. Materials on hand are targeted to equal 3 months' production. Any shortage in materials will be made up by the immediate purchase of materials. Sales take place evenly throughout the year. What is the production budget (in units) for 2016
Answer:
Production budget = 75,000 units
Explanation:
The production budgeted for a particular period is the expected units to be produced after adjusting the sales budget figures for opening and closing inventories.
Production = Sales volume + closing inventory - opening inventory
Production budget for 2016
=85,000 + 20,000 - 30,000
= 75,000 units
Leaping Deer Company purchased a tractor at a cost of $240,000. The tractor has an estimated residual value of $40,000 and an estimated life of 8 years, or 12,000 hours of operation. The tractor was purchased on January 1, 2015 and was used 2,400 hours in 2015 and 2,200 hours in 2016. What method of depreciation will produce the maximum depreciation expense in 2016
Answer:
Units of production method: $76,820
Explanation:
The three most common depreciation methods are: straight line, double-declining, and units of production. We will calculate the depreciation expense for each.
Straight line method:
Depreciable amount= cost - residual value
= 240,000 - 40,000
= 200,000
Depreciation by year = depreciable amount / years of useful life
= 200,000 / 8
= 25,000
Double declining method
Depreciation per year = depreciable amount x (2 / useful life in years)
= 200,000 x (2 / 8)
= 50,000
Units of production method
Depreciation per unit = depreciable amount / hours of operation
= 200,000 / 12,000
= 16.7
Total depreciation = depreciation per unit x actual units of operation
= 16.7 x 2,400 + 2,200
= 16.7 x 4,600
= 76.820
Therefore, the units of production method results in the highest depreciation expense among the three.
The units of production method will produce the maximum depreciation expense in 2016 for Leaping Deer Company.
Explanation:The method of depreciation that will produce the maximum depreciation expense in 2016 for Leaping Deer Company is the units of production method. This method calculates depreciation based on the actual usage or output of the asset.
First, we need to calculate the depreciation rate per hour:
Depreciation rate = (Cost - Residual value) / Estimated hours of operation
Depreciation rate = ($240,000 - $40,000) / 12,000 = $16 per hour
Next, we calculate the depreciation expense in 2016 based on the hours of usage:
Depreciation expense in 2016 = Depreciation rate * Hours of usage in 2016
Depreciation expense in 2016 = $16 * 2,200 = $35,200

You are considering the purchase of an office building for $1.5 million today. Your expectations include the following: first-year potential gross income of $340,000; vacancy and collection losses equal to 15 percent of potential gross income; operating expenses equal to 40 percent of effective gross income and capital expenditures equal 5 percent of EGI. You expect to sell the property five years after it is purchased. You estimate that the market value of the property will increase four percent a year after it is purchased and you expect to incur selling expenses equal to 6 percent of the estimated future selling price. What is estimated effective gross income (EGI) for the first year of operations?
Answer:
$289000
Explanation:
Effective Gross Income (EGI): Effective Gross Income is calculated by deducting the Vacancy and collection (V&C) loss from Gross Potential Income (GPI).
First year gross potential income (PGI) is $340,000
Vacancy and collection (V&C) loss is 15% of gross potential income
Therefore, (V&C) allowance = [$340,000 15%]
= $51,000
Calculate Effective Gross Income (EGI) for the first year of operations:

Calculating Activity-Based Overhead Rates
Understanding Activity-Based Costing (ABC):
ABC assigns overhead costs to products based on the specific activities involved in producing them. It is more accurate than traditional methods that allocate overhead costs based on a single driver like direct labor hours.
Calculating Overhead Rates:
To calculate the activity-based overhead rate for each activity cost pool, we divide the estimated overhead cost by the expected use of the cost driver.
Activity-Based Overhead Rates:
1. Designing:
Overhead Rate = Estimated Overhead / Expected Use of Cost Driver
Overhead Rate = $427,300 / 11,400 designer hours
Overhead Rate = $37.50 per designer hour
2. Sizing and Cutting:
Overhead Rate = $4,146,000 / 160,000 machine hours
Overhead Rate = $25.91 per machine hour
3. Stitching and Trimming:
Overhead Rate = $1,459,000 / 81,300 labor hours
Overhead Rate = $17.94 per labor hour
4. Wrapping and Packing:
Overhead Rate = $323,400 / 30,300 finished units
Overhead Rate = $10.67 per finished unit
If a firm has a $1,500,000 debt limit before AT kd will change and if taxes are 40% and total equity in the capital structure is 40% and the rest is debt, calculate the debt breakpoint in the MCC schedule.
Answer:
$2,500,000
Explanation:
Break Point = Level of debt / Weight of debt
(100%-40%)
=60%
Hence:
= 1,500,000 / 60%
= $2,500,000
Therefore the debt breakpoint in the MCC schedule will be $2,500,000
Consider a US treasury bill that matures in one year compared to a US treasury bond that matures in 10 years. Select one: a. The one year bond has more credit risk. b. Both bonds are risk free. c. The ten year bond has more credit risk. d. The ten year bond has more interest rate risk. e. The one year bond has more interest rate risk.
Answer: b. Both bonds are risk free.
Explanation:
Both the Short term US Treasury bill and the longer term US Treasury bond are backed by the full faith and weight of the Government of United States of America.
The United States has never defaulted on a payment in the modern era. It is for this reason that US bonds are considered the epitome of safe and their rates are usually given as the risk free rate.
T-bills and T-Bonds along with T-Notes and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) are considered to be the safest instruments in the world.
Carlton Company uses the percent of sales method to estimate its bad debt expense. Based on past experience, the company estimates 2 percent of credit sales to be uncollectible. At the end of the current year, the company's unadjusted trial balance shows Accounts Receivable of $245,000 and Credit Sales of $900,000.

The adjusting journal entries will look a s follows
Details Dr ($) Cr ($)
Bad debt expense 18,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts 18,000
To record the uncollectible Accounts Receivable
Carlton Company will make an adjusting entry for bad debt expense by debiting Bad Debt Expense and crediting Allowance for Doubtful Accounts by $18,000, which is 2 percent of $900,000 in credit sales.
The Carlton Company needs to make an adjusting entry at the end of the year for bad debt expense using the percent of sales method. With credit sales of $900,000 and an estimated 2 percent as uncollectible, the bad debt expense can be calculated. Therefore, the adjusting entry on December 31 would involve debiting Bad Debt Expense and crediting Allowance for Doubtful Accounts by $18,000 (2% of $900,000).
The journal entry would look like this:
Bad Debt Expense: $18,000 (debit)
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: $18,000 (credit)
This entry will increase the company's bad debt expense for the year, while simultaneously increasing the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is a contra-asset account that reduces the balance of accounts receivable on the balance sheet.

Given the acquisition cost of product Dominoe is $18, the net realizable value for product Dominoe is $16, the normal profit for product Dominoe is $1, and the market value (replacement cost) for product Dominoe is $19, what is the proper per unit inventory price for product Dominoe applying LCM? $15. $18. $19. $16.
Answer: $18
Explanation:
When using the Lower of Cost or Market (LCM) method. You value inventory at either the market value or cost value. Whichever is lower.
In the above scenario, the historical/ acquisition cost of $18 < market value of $19.
Therefore we will value inventory at the historical cost of of $18.

Suppose that instead of national defense being paid for with tax dollars national defense is paid for by voluntary contributions from (potentially) all individuals within Latvia. Cedric, who is a Latvian citizen, must decide whether he wants to contribute to the national-defense budget. Further, suppose that there are a total of 10 citizens, including Cedric. For the optimal amount of safety, each citizen should pay $10$10 . Every $1$1 contributed (by anyone) to the national defense leads to increased security, which each person values at $0.20$0.20 . This means that every dollar spent on defense is worth $2.00$2.00 to Latvia as a whole. How much does Cedric personally value the increase in national defense when he contributes $10$10 to the defense fund? Cedric's personal value: $ If contributions are voluntary, and assuming people rationally maximize their utility, what is the total contributed to national defense? total contributed voluntarily: $ Suppose that instead of relying on voluntary contributions the government simply levies a tax of $10$10 on each person to pay for national defense. How much better or worse off would Cedric be if everyone (including himself) were taxed $10$10 instead of contributing voluntarily? If Cedric is worse off, be sure to put a negative sign in front of the number. Cedric's gain or loss under tax: $
Answer:
Explanation:
find the attached document below
The amount that Cedric personally value the increase in national defense when he contributes $10 to the defense fund is $2
The benefit to Cedric after paying $10 to the defense budget will be;
= $10 × 0.2
= $2
Also, if the contributions are voluntary, then there'll be nobody that will contribute. Therefore, the total contribution to the national defense is $0.00.
Lastly, when $10 is imposed on each citizen, the total amount that's contributed will be:
= $10 × 10 = $100
Since each person gives a valuation of $0.20 to every dollar that's contributed, then the personal valuation will be:
= 100 × $0.20 = $20
Since Cedric is contributing $10 to the fund, his personal net gain will be:
= $20 - $10 = $10

Cholla Company’s standard fixed overhead rate is based on budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead of $27,000 and budgeted production of 30,000 units. Actual results for the month of October reveal that Cholla produced 28,000 units and spent $25,500 on fixed manufacturing overhead costs.Calculate Cholla’s fixed overhead rate and the fixed overhead volume variance. (Round "Fixed Overhead Rate" to 2 decimal places. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable.)Fixed Overhead Rate per UnitFixed Overhead Volume Variance
Answer:
Explanation:
Fixed overhead rate = budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead
budgeted production
= 27000
30000
= $ 0.90 per unit
Absorbed Fixed overhead = Actual Output × Fixed overhead rate
= 28000 × 0.90
= 25200
Budgeted Fixed overhead = Budgeted Output × Fixed overhead rate
= 30000 × 0.90
= 27000
Fixed Overhead Volume Variance = Absorbed Fixed overhead - Budgeted Fixed overhead
= | 25200 - 27000 |
