Final answer:
After calculating the costs, hiring an inspector results in a slightly higher per unit cost ($0.208) compared to allowing defects and correcting them later ($0.20 per unit). Nevertheless, the benefits of ensuring quality might outweigh these costs.
Explanation:
The questions deal with analyzing the cost-effectiveness of hiring an inspector in a production process with a 2% defect rate. To answer these, we consider the given defect rate, costs associated with hiring an inspector and correcting defects, and the production rate.
a. Inspection Cost Per Unit
The inspector costs $11 per hour and inspects 53 units per hour. Therefore, the inspection cost per unit is calculated as $11 divided by 53 units, resulting in approximately $0.208 per unit (rounded to three decimal places).
b. Defective Cost Per Unit
With a 2% defect rate and a $10 cost to correct each defect later, for every 100 units produced, we expect 2 defects. So, the cost per unit due to defects is (2 units * $10) / 100 units, which equals $0.20 per unit (rounded to three decimal places).
c. Should an Inspector be Hired Based on Costs Alone?
Comparing the two costs, the inspection cost per unit ($0.208) is slightly higher than the defective cost per unit ($0.20). However, the difference is minimal, and hiring an inspector might be beneficial considering potential savings in rework time and preservation of product quality and brand reputation, which are not captured in the immediate cost comparison.
Consider a simultaneous move game between a union and a company. If both the parties bargain hard, cach would gain nothing. If only one party bargains hard the accommodating party gets a profit of $1 million while the bargaining party gets a $5 million, while if they both accommodate, they each get $3 million. What would be the Nash equilibrium of this game? Oa Bargain hard, bargain hard Ob. Firm bargains hard, union accommodates OC. Union bargains hard, firm accommodates Od Both B&C
Answer:
d. Both B&C
Explanation:
The Nash equilibrium can be described as a stable condition relating to the interaction of different players whereby a unilateral change in the strategy of a player will result in no gain for the any of the players.
Since bargaining hard by both parties in the will result in no gain for both parties, the the Nash equilibrium of this game would therefore for either of one of the two parties to bargain hard and the other to accommodate.
Therefore, option "d. Both B&C" is the correct answer.
The Hsu Manufacturing Company has two service departments: Maintenance and Accounting. The Maintenance Department's costs of $728,850 are allocated on the basis of machine hours. The Accounting Department's costs of $148,800 are allocated on the basis of the number of employees within a specific department. The direct departmental costs for A and B are $280,000 and $480,000, respectively. Maint Acctg A B Machine hours 495 115 3,000 390 Number of employees 2 2 8 4 What is the Maintenance Department's cost allocated to Department A using the direct method
Answer:
The correct answer is $645,000.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:
We can calculate the Maintenance Department's cost allocated to Department A using the direct method are as follows:
Cost allocated = Maintenance Department's costs × Machine hours of Dept. A ÷ ( Machine hours of Dept. A + Machine hours of Dept. B )
By putting the value, we get
Cost Allocated = $728,850 × 3,000 ÷ ( 3,000 + 390)
= $728,850 × 3,000 ÷ 3,390
= $645,000
Department A is allocated $546,637.50 of the Maintenance Department's costs using the direct method. This is calculated by determining the portion of machine hours that Department A uses out of total machine hours, and applying this percentage to the total Maintenance Department's costs.
Explanation:To calculate the Maintenance Department's cost allocated to Department A using the direct method, we first need to determine the total machine hours that the Maintenance Department serves. This is done by adding up the machine hours of all the departments, which are 495 for Maintenance, 115 for Accounting, 3,000 for Department A, and 390 for Department B. Therefore, the total machine hours are 4,000.
Next, we determine the proportion of machine hours that Department A uses, which is its machine hours (3,000) divided by the total machine hours (4,000). The calculation is 3,000 / 4,000 = 0.75 or 75%.
Finally, we multiply the total Maintenance Department's costs ($728,850) by 75% to find how much is allocated to Department A. The calculation is $728,850 * 0.75 = $546,637.50.
Therefore, Department A is allocated $546,637.50 of the Maintenance Department's costs using the direct method.

Fosnight Enterprises prepared the following sales budget: The expected gross profit rate is 30% and the inventory at the end of February was $10,000. Desired inventory levels at the end of the month are 20% of the next month's cost of goods sold. What is the desired beginning inventory on June 1?
Final answer:
Since the sales figures for June and July aren't provided, we can't calculate the desired beginning inventory for June 1. Instead, we review the calculation of accounting profit, which is $50,000 in the example provided.
Explanation:
The desired beginning inventory on June 1 is the amount of inventory that Fosnight Enterprises wants to have at the start of the month to meet the planned sales for June, while maintaining a certain percentage of the next month's cost of goods sold as ending inventory for June. Since we do not have the actual sales figures for June and July, we cannot calculate this figure. However, we can discuss a related accounting concept using the provided self-check question.
The self-check question asks for the calculation of a firm's accounting profit, which is defined as total revenues minus explicit costs. In the given example, the firm had sales revenue of $1 million, and it spent $600,000 on labor, $150,000 on capital, and $200,000 on materials. The accounting profit would therefore be $1,000,000 (total revenues) - ($600,000 (labor) + $150,000 (capital) + $200,000 (materials)) = $50,000.
Douglass Interiors is considering two mutually exclusive projects and have determined that the crossover rate for these projects is 11.7 percent. Project A has an internal rate of return (IRR) of 15.3 percent and Project B has an IRR of 16.5 percent. Given this information, which one of the following statements is correct?I. Project A should be accepted as its IRR is closer to the crossover point than is Project B's IRR.II. Project B should be accepted as it has the higher IRR.III. Both projects should be accepted as both of the project's IRRs exceed the crossover rate.IV. Neither project should be accepted since both of the project's IRRs exceed the crossover rate.V. You cannot determine which project should be accepted given the information provided.
Answer:
V) You cannot determine which project should be accepted given the information provided.
Explanation:
The best way to determine which project to accept or reject is the net present value (NPV) and we do not have enough information to calculate it. Both projects have positive internal rates of return (IRR), but does any of them have a positive NPV? We cannot tell, so it is not possible to choose one or the other.
Final answer:
The correct statement is that Project B should be accepted because it has a higher internal rate of return (IRR) than Project A, which is indicative of greater economic desirability. The correct statement is II.
Explanation:
The crossover rate for Douglass Interiors projects is 11.7 percent, which is the discount rate at which both projects would have the same net present value (NPV). Since Project A has an internal rate of return (IRR) of 15.3 percent and Project B has an IRR of 16.5 percent, both projects have IRRs that exceed the crossover rate. This indicates that, depending on the discount rate, each project could be more attractive at different times. However, the decision to choose between two mutually exclusive projects shouldn't rely solely on the IRR if their IRRs are above the crossover rate. Instead, additional investment appraisal methods such as NPV should be considered to determine which project would add the most value over time.
Based on the IRR method, Project B should be accepted as it has the higher IRR compared to Project A. Statement II is correct because the IRR is a measure of the project's rate of return, and since Project B has a higher IRR, it is considered more economically desirable assuming that the IRR correctly ranks the projects and there are no other conflicting criteria for decision making.
Corbel Corporation has two divisions: Division A and Division B. Last month, the company reported a contribution margin of $47,700 for Division A. Division B had a contribution margin ratio of 35% and its sales were $231,000. Net operating income for the company was $27,200 and traceable fixed expenses were $59,700. Corbel Corporation's common fixed expenses were:
Answer:
$41,650
Explanation:
Contribution margin is the net of sales and variable costs.
Contribution Margin:
Division A = $47,700
Division B = $231,000 x 35% = $80,850
Company calculates the Net Income after deducting The traceable and common fixed costs from the total contribution margin.
Total contribution margin = $47,700 + $80,850 = $128,550
Net Income = Total contribution margin - Traceable Fixed Expense - Common Fixed expenses
$27,200 = $128,550 - $59,700 - Common Fixed expenses
$27,200 = $68,850 - Common Fixed expenses
Common Fixed expenses = $68,850 - $27,200 = $41,650
Last month, Ginger's hotel ran an occupancy rate of 85%. Her competitive set had 150,000 room nights included within it that were available for sale during that month. During that month, the competitive set sold a total of 115,000 rooms. What was the approximate occupancy rate INDEX last month for Ginger's hotel?
The approximate occupancy rate INDEX last month for Ginger's hotel is 112
Explanation:
Ginger’s occupancy = 85%
Its competitive set has 150,000 rooms. But only 115,000 sold
So occupancy rate of the competitive set = 115000 by 150000 = 0.7667 = 76.67%
The occupancy should always be rounded to the lower whole number (so as to not change the occupancy rooms)
Hence competitive set occupancy = 76%
So, occupancy rate INDEX = ginger’s occupancy by competitive set occupancy
= 85 by 76
= 1.1184
=112% (rounded to nearest whole number)
Hence, Answer is: 112
You have just used the network planning model for a county road resurfacing project and found the critical path length is 40 days and the standard deviation of the critical path is 10 days. Suppose you want to pick a time (in days) within which you will complete the project with 90% confidence level, what should be that time (in days and round to the nearest whole number.)
A. 40B. 13C. 45D. 29E. 53
Answer: E.53
Explanation:
From the above information, the formula for due date is given below.
DUE DATE = Expected Completion Time + (Z * Standard Deviation)
A confidence level refers to the percentage of all possible samples that can be expected to contain the true population parameter. It is computed according to a random sample from the population and most times always associated with a certain confidence level that is a probability, usually presented as a percentage. The 90% says that 90% will include the true mean but 10% won't.
A Z-score is referred to as a numerical measurement that is made use of in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (that is average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations away from the mean.
Expected time = 40
Confidence interval = 90 = Z VALUE of 1.282
Standard Deviation= 10
DUE DATE = 40 + (1.282 * 10) = 53days
= 40+ 12.82
=52.82
Approximately 53
Therefore,the time in days is 53 days.
Answer:
E- 53
Explanation:
FORMULA:
DUE DATE = EXPECTED COMPLETION TIME + (Z * STDEV)
Expected time = 40
CONFIDENCE INTERVAL = 90 = Z VALUE OF 1.282
STANDARD DEVIATION = 10
DUE DATE = 40 + (1.282 * 10) = 53

Star Studios is looking to purchase a new building for its upcoming film productions. The company finds a suitable location that has a list price of $1,460,000. The seller gives Star Studios the following purchase options: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Pay $1,460,000 immediately.
Pay $460,000 immediately and then pay $136,000 each year over the next 10 years, with the first payment due in one year.
Make 10 annual installments of $180,000, with the first payment due in one year.
Make a single payment of $2,160,000 at the end of five years.
Determine the present value for each option assuming that the company can borrow funds to finance the purchase at 6%.
Star Studios is evaluating different payment options for a building purchase using a discount rate of 6%. Each option's present value is calculated using relevant present value formulas. The company will then compare these present values to determine the most cost-effective payment option.
Explanation:To determine the present value (PV) for each purchase option provided to Star Studios by the seller, we need to use the present value formulas and apply the discount rate of 6%. We'll handle each option separately.
Option 1: Immediate payment of $1,460,000. The present value is simply the payment amount, as it is already in today's dollars, which is $1,460,000.
Option 2: Immediate payment of $460,000 and $136,000 annually for 10 years. We use the present value of an annuity formula to calculate the present value of the ten annual payments and add the immediate payment of $460,000 to this result to find the total present value.
Option 3: Ten annual installments of $180,000. The present value of an annuity formula is also used here to find the present value of the series of equal payments.
Option 4: A single future payment of $2,160,000 at the end of five years. We apply the present value of a single sum formula to discount the future payment back to the present value.
To compare the options fairly, Star Studios must calculate and then compare each option's present value to determine which is the most cost-effective choice, given their borrowing rate of 6%.

C. Explain why the company was able to issue the bonds for only $9,738,256 rather than for the face amount of $11,000,000. The bonds sell for less than their face amount because the market rate of interest is greater than the contract rate of interest. Investors Are not willing to pay the full face amount for bonds that pay a lower contract rate of interest than the rate they could earn on similar bonds (market rate).
Answer:
The bonds sell for less than their face amount because the market rate of interest is greater than the contract rate of interest. Investors Are not willing to pay the full face amount for bonds that pay a lower contract rate of interest than the rate they could earn on similar bonds (market rate).
Explanation:
When the required rate of return of investors is higher than the coupon rate of the bond, It means the investors have option in the market which offer more rate of return than the coupon rate offered by the bond, So the value of the bond falls which ultimately compensate the difference of investors required rate of return and Coupon rate.

Answer:Many purchases that individuals make at the retail level are produced in markets that are neither perfectly competitive, monopolies, nor monopolistically competitive. Rather, they are oligopolies. Oligopoly arises when a small number of large firms have all or most of the sales in an industry. Examples of oligopoly abound and include the auto industry, cable television, and commercial air travel. Oligopolistic firms are like cats in a bag. They can either scratch each other to pieces or cuddle up and get comfortable with one another. If oligopolists compete hard, they may end up acting very much like perfect competitors, driving down costs and leading to zero profits for all. If oligopolists collude with each other, they may effectively act like a monopoly and succeed in pushing up prices and earning consistently high levels of profit. Oligopolies are typically characterized by mutual interdependence where various decisions such as output, price, advertising, and so on, depend on the decisions of the other firm(s). Analyzing the choices of oligopolistic firms about pricing and quantity produced involves considering the pros and cons of competition versus collusion at a given point in time.
Explanation:The economic development and growth of the production is proportional to the equivalent fraction of the industry

3. Journal
Accumulated Depreciation $554,000 (debit)
Accumulated Impairement Loss $146,000 (debit)
Printing Equipment (credit) $700,000
Explanation:
Impairement Loss (IAS 36) happens when the Carrying Amount of an Asset Exceeds its Recoverable Amount.
Carrying Amount Calculation
Carrying Amount = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
= $752,000 - $554,000
= $198,000
Recoverable Amount Determination
Recoverable amount of an asset is the Higher of :
Value in Use orFair Value Less Cost to SellOnly the fair value is provided, hence Recoverable amount is $52,000
Analysis for Impairment loss
Carrying Amount $198,000 > Recoverable amount $52,000
Therefore the printing equipment is Impaired
Impairement Loss $146,000 (debit)
Accumulated Impairement Loss $146,000 (credit)

Compute the plantwide overhead rate using direct labor hours as the base. 2. Determine the overhead cost assigned to each product line using the plantwide rate computed in requirement 1.
Answer:
1. $14,52 per direct labor hour
2. Overheads Assigned
Part A27C = $89,367
Part X82B =$95,832
Explanation:
The plantwide overhead rate is the absorption rate calculated on the entity`s to total overheads and total activity.
plantwide overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity
= ($ 740,000 + $ 610,000) / (45,000+48,000)
= $14,52 per direct labor hour
Part A27C
Molding department (4,000× $14,52) = $58,080
Trimming department(2,150× $14,52) = $31,287
Total = $89,367
Part X82B
Molding department (1,100× $14,52) = $ 15,972
Trimming department (5,500× $14,52) = $79,860
Total = $95832
When comparing levered vs. unlevered capital structures, leverage works to increase EPS for high levels of operating income because interest payments on the debt (a) vary with EBIT levels. (b) stay fixed, leaving less income to be distributed over fewer shares. (c) stay fixed, leaving less income to be distributed over more shares. (d) stay fixed, leaving more income to be distributed over fewer shares. (e) decrease, leaving more income to be distributed over fewer shares
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
Unlevered capital structure is the one where there is no debt in the company, the company is completely financed by using equity. While levered capital structure involves the combination of both debt and equity in the company.
For a company, debt is an effective tool to raise funds for expansion without diluting or reducing ownership control by adding more shareholders.
Interest payment on debt is usually fixed.
Going for leverage does not increase the number of shares and Earnings Per Share(EPS) will be higher because earnings or income will be distributed to fewer shareholders unlike unlevered capital structure that tends to add to the number of shares thereby lowering EPS because earnings will be distributed to larger shareholders.
A produce distributor uses 790 packing crates a month, which it purchases at a cost of $10 each. The manager has assigned an annual carrying cost of 39 percent of the purchase price per crate. Ordering costs are $31. Currently the manager orders once a month. How much could the firm save annually in ordering and carrying costs by using the EOQ?
Answer:
$398.48
Explanation:
For calculating the saving amount, first need to calculate the economic order quantity, total cost etc
The economic order quantity is
[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex]
where,
Annual demand is
= 790 packaging crates × 12 months
= 9,480 crates
And, the carrying cost is
= $10 × 39%
= $3.90
[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{9,480}\times \text{\$31}}{\text{\$3.90}}}[/tex]
= 388 units
Now the total cost is
= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost
= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 9,480 ÷ 388 × $31 + 388 ÷ 2 × $3.90
= $757.42 + $756.60
= $1,514.02
Now the total cost in case of 790 packing crates is
= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost
= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 9,480 ÷ 790 × $31 + 790 ÷ 2 × $3.90
= $372 + $1,540.50
= $1,912.50
Therefore, the annual saving cost is
= $1,912.50 - $1,514.02
= $398.48
Hawkeye Auto Parts uses the average cost retail method to estimate inventories. Data for the first six months of 2021 include: beginning inventory at cost and retail were $66,000 and $111,000, net purchases at cost and retail were $796,000 and $1,311,000, and sales during the first six months totaled $811,000. The estimated inventory at June 30, 2021, would be:
Answer:
$372,710
Explanation:
For determining the ending inventory first we need to do following computations which are given below:
As per cost method
Goods available for sale
= Beginning inventory + Net Purchase for the year
= $66,000 + $796,000
= $862,000
Under Retail method
Goods available for sale:
= Beginning inventory + Net Purchases for the year
= $111,000 + $1,311,000
= $1,422,000
Now
Cost to retail ratio is
= $862,000 ÷ $1,422,000
= 61%
And, Estimated ending inventory as per retail
= Goods available for sale at Retail - Net sales
= $1,422,000 - $811,000
= $611,000
Therefore, Estimated ending inventory as per cost is
= Estimated ending inventory at retail × Cost to retail ratio
= $611,000 × 0.61
= $372,710
Darnell has plans to go to a play and already has a $50 nonrefundable, nonexchangeable, and nontransferable ticket. Now Vicky, whom Darnell has wanted to date for a long time, asks him to a concert. Darnell would prefer to go to the concert with Vicky and forgo the play, but he doesn't want to waste the $50 he spent on the play ticket.
From the perspective of an economist, if Darnell decides to go to the party with Vicky, what has he just done?
a. Incorrectly allowed a sunk cost to influence his decision
b. Made a choice that was not optimal
c. Correctly ignored a sunk cost
Answer:
c. Correctly ignored a sunk cost
Explanation:
The $50 he spent on the ticket is a sunk cost. Independently of his decision (go to the play or go with Vicky), the cost is already done.
He decide to go to the concert beacuse he prefers it than go to the play. He maximizes his utility, as he would not recover the $50 in any way. In the utility calculation, the sunk cost has no influence.
He has correctly ignored a sunk cost, not letting it to influence in his decision.
Suppose that the demand curve for wheat is Upper Q equals 120 minus 10 p and the supply curve is Upper Q equals 10 p. The government imposes a price ceiling of p overbar equals $ 4 per unit. a. How do the equilibrium price and quantity change? (round quantities to the nearest integer and round prices to the nearest penny) The equilibrium quantity without the price ceiling is nothing and the price without the price ceiling is $ nothing. The equilibrium quantity with the price ceiling is nothing.
Answer:
$6; 60 units
40 units
Explanation:
Given that,
Demand curve: Q = 120 - 10P
Supply curve: Q = 10P
Government imposes a price ceiling = $4 per unit
Without price ceiling,
At equilibrium,
Supply = Demand
10P = 120 - 10P
20P = 120
P = $6 (equilibrium price)
Equilibrium quantity = 120 - (10 × 6)
= 120 - 60
= 60 units
With price ceiling of $4 per unit,
Equilibrium quantity:
= 10P
= 10 × 4
= 40 units
Naylor Company had $154,200 of net income in 2016 when the selling price per unit was $155, the variable costs per unit were $95, and the fixed costs were $572,900. Management expects per unit data and total fixed costs to remain the same in 2017. The president of Naylor Company is under pressure from stockholders to increase net income by $61,200 in 2017. Compute the number of units sold in 2016.
Answer:
Units sold in 2016 = 12118.33
Explanation:
Given that
Net income = 154200
Fixed inputs = 572900
Selling price per unit = 155
Variable cost per unit = 95
Recall that
Net income = total revenue - total expenses
And that
Net income = (selling price - variable cost) × number of goods sold - fixed cost
Thus
154200 = (155 - 95)x - 572900
572900 + 154200 = 60x
727100 = 60x
x = 727100/60
x = 12,118.33 units
Answer:
The number of units sold in 2016 is 12,118 units
Explanation:
Number of units to sold in 2016=fixed costs+target profit/contribution per unit
fixed costs is $572,900
target profit=$154,200
Contribution per unit =selling price per unit -variable cost per unit
selling price per unit is $155
variable cost per unit is $95
contribution per unit=$155-$95
contribution per unit =$60
Number of units sold in 2016=($572,900+$154,200)/$60
number of units sold in 2016=$727,100/$60
number of units sold in 2016= 12,118.33 units
the number of units sold in 2016 is 12,118
On January 1, 2019, Shay Company issues $400,000 of 10%, 12-year bonds. The bonds sell for $391,000. Six years later, on January 1, 2025, Shay retires these bonds by buying them on the open market for $419,000. All interest is accounted for and paid through December 31, 2024, the day before the purchase. The straight-line method is used to amortize any bond discount. 1. What is the amount of the discount on the bonds at issuance
Answer:
$9,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the discount on the bonds at issuance is shown below:
= Par value of the bond - issued price of the bond
= $400,000 - $391,000
= $9,000
By deducting the issued price of the bond from the par value of the bond we can get the discount amount on issuance of the bond and the same is applied above
Final answer:
The discount on the bonds at issuance is the difference between their face value and the sale price, which is $9,000. The present value of future bond payments can be calculated using a discount rate, and the bond's price will usually decrease if market interest rates rise above the bond's interest rate.
Explanation:
The amount of the discount on the bonds at issuance is the difference between the face value of the bonds and the amount they sold for. In this case, Shay Company issued $400,000 of bonds but sold them for $391,000. Therefore, the discount on the bonds at issuance is $400,000 - $391,000 = $9,000.
Calculating the Bond's Present Value
To calculate the present value of a bond, you can look at the stream of payments being received from the bond in the future and determine what they are worth in present discounted value terms. For instance, a two-year bond issued for $3,000 with an 8% interest rate will pay $240 in interest each year. Using a discount rate of 8%, you can find the present value of those future payments using the present value formula.
Bond Price with Market Interest Rate Changes
If the market interest rate increases, the bond's price will typically decrease because the bond's fixed interest payments are less attractive compared to the new higher interest rate. If we have a $1,000 bond with one year remaining that pays $80 (8% of $1,000) in interest, and the market interest rate is 12%, you wouldn't pay more than the present value of the future payments discounted at the new market rate. To be indifferent between the bond and an alternative investment, you'd pay no more than $964, because that amount invested at 12% would grow to $1,080 in one year.
At the beginning of September 2018, Sheffield Company reported Inventory of $7800. During the month, the company made purchases of $35000. At September 30, 2018, a physical count of inventory reported $8100 on hand. Cost of goods sold for the month is $35300. $42800. $34700. $35000.
Answer:
$34,700
Explanation:
Data provided
Beginning inventory = $7,800
Purchase = $35,000
Closing inventory = $8,100
The computation of Cost of goods sold for the month is shown below:-
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchase - Closing inventory
= $7,800 + $35,000 - $8,100
= $42,800 - $8,100
= $34,700
Therefore for computing the cost of goods sold we simply applied the above formula.

Steinberg Corporation and Dietrich Corporation are identical firms except that Dietrich is more levered. Both companies will remain in business for one more year. The companies' economists agree that the probability of the continuation of the current expansion is 70 percent for the next year, and the probability of a recession is 30 percent. If the expansion continues, each firm will generate earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $4.6 million. If a recession occurs, each firm will generate earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $1.4 million. Steinberg's debt obligation requires the firm to pay $1,000,000 at the end of the year. Dietrich's debt obligation requires the firm to pay $1.5 million at the end of the year. Neither firm pays taxes. Assume a discount rate of 12 percent. What are the current market values of Steinberg's equity and debt? What are the current market values of Dietrich's equity and debt? Steinberg's CEO recently stated that Steinberg's value should be higher than Dietrich's because the firm has less debt, and, therefore, less bankruptcy risk. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Answer: kindly see Explanation.
Explanation:
STEINBERG Expansion Recession
Probability 70% 30%
EBIT 4,600,000 1,400,000
Payoff (bond) 1,000,000 1,000,000
Payoff(stock) 3,600,000 400,000
DIETRICH Expansion Recession
Probability 70% 30%
EBIT 4,600,000 1,400,000
Payoff (bond) 1,500,000 1,500,000
Payoff(stock) 3,100,000 (100,000)
Discount rate = 12%
Steinberg potential payoffs:
Equity = (0.7 × 3,600,000 + 0.3 × 400,000)/1.12 = 2357142
Debt = (0.7 × 1,000,000 + 0.3 × 1,000,000)/1.12 = 892857.14
Dietrich potential payoffs:
Equity = (0.7 × 3,100,000 + 0.3 × - 100,000)/1.12 = 1910714
Debt = (0.7 × 1,500,000 + 0.3 × 1,500,000)/1.12 = 1339285
B.) STEINBERG
DEBT + Equity = 2357142+892857 = $3249999
DIETRICH
DEBT + Equity = 1910714+1339285 = $3249999
Due to the identical nature of the two EBITs, it shows a redistribution of wealth between the stock and bond holders.

10 $174,461.01 $53,171.04 $2,000,000
The calculation for the above journal is given as;
Required Addition =
Bond value/future amount of ordinary annuity at 3% per period
Required Addition = 2,000,000/11.4638793
= $174,461.01 ( for 10 period)
Expected Earnings = Ending bal. x 3%
= $174,461.01 *3%
= $5,233.83 (for 2017).
Note: For the remaining period, the expected earning is calculated the same way as above.
Ending Balance = Previous ending bal. + Required additions + expected earnings
= $174,461.01 + $174,461.01 + $5,233.83
= $354,155.86 ( for year 2017)
Do same for the remaining years.
A firm that produces wood shutters and bookcases has received two orders for shutters: one for 100 shutters and one for 150 shutters. The 100-unit order is due for delivery at the start of week 4 of the current schedule, and the 150-unit order is due for delivery at the start of week 8. Each shutter consists of two frames and four slatted wood sections. The wood sections are made by the firm, and fabrication takes one week. The frames are ordered, and lead time is two weeks. Assembly of the shutters requires one week.
Determine the size and timing of planned-order releases necessary to meet delivery requirements using Lot-forLot ordering policy.
Answer:
Since 100 shutters are scheduled to be finished in 3 weeks, you must order the 200 frames immediately so they arrive at the end of 2nd week or beginning of the 3rd week. This way, you can assemble the parts during the 3rd week and have them finished by the beginning of the 4th week when they must be delivered.
The other order, 150 shutters must be finished in 7 weeks, so you can order the 300 frames at the end of the fourth week. This way the frames will be received by the end of the 6th week and the parts assembled during the 7th week.
Lot-for-lot order quantities are carried out for every job order that required them.
Using the lot-for-lot (L4L) ordering policy, the planned-order releases for the 100-unit and 150-unit orders of wood shutters are calculated based on the fabrication and assembly lead times.
Explanation:In this case, the lot-for-lot (L4L) ordering policy means that the firm will order exactly the quantity needed to fulfill each order. As per the given information, the 100-unit order is due in week 4, and the 150-unit order is due in week 8. We need to calculate the timing and size of planned-order releases.
Since each shutter consists of two frames and four slatted wood sections, the firm needs to produce 2 frames and 4 wood sections for each shutter. Fabrication of the wood sections takes one week and frame lead time is two weeks. Assembly of the shutters takes one week.
Using the L4L ordering policy, the planned-order releases will be:
For the 100-unit order due in week 4: Frame order release in week 2, Wood sections fabrication order release in week 3, Assembly order release in week 4.For the 150-unit order due in week 8: Frame order release in week 6, Wood sections fabrication order release in week 7, Assembly order release in week 8.Learn more about Lot-for-lot ordering policy here:https://brainly.com/question/30541105

The Southern Division manager of Texcaliber Inc. is growing concerned that the division will not be able to meet its current period income objectives. The division uses absorption costing for internal profit reporting and had an appropriate level of inventory at the beginning of the period. The division manager knows that he can boost profits by increasing production at the end of the period. The increased production will allocate fixed costs over a greater number of units, reducing cost of goods sold and increasing earnings. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that additional production will be sold, resulting in a large ending inventory balance. The division manager has come to Aston Melon, the divisional controller, to determine exactly how much additional production is needed to increase net income enough to meet the division's profit objectives. Aston analyzes the data and determines that the division will need to increase inventory by 30% in order to absorb enough fixed costs to meet the division's income objective. Aston reports this information to the division manager. Is Aston acting ethically?
Answer:
Aston has given the information required to meet division profit objective. Increasing the profit objective is common goal of every manager. Here manager wanted to meet profit objective by minimising fixed cost which is not wrong motive. Whether the excess production can be sold in the market. If there is a chance to sell, more production can be made.
Absorption costing means that all of manufacturing costs are absorbed by units produced. It calculates every cost on no. of units produced but it does not mean to increase production only in order to match income objective or to reach this goal instead of fact that inventory remains at end, and sale of that increased production does not take place and income objective met because of the lower cost per unit.
Aston's decision to increase production for absorbing more fixed costs to boost reported profits may not be considered ethically sound in business sense as it might create a misleading image of the division's performance and it doesn’t reflect operational efficiency improvements.
Explanation:In the context of business ethics, it can be argued that Aston isn't acting ethically. While increased production to absorb more fixed costs can increase reported profits under absorption costing, it is essentially an accounting maneuver, not necessarily reflecting an improvement in operational efficiency or profitability. It's also important to note that the increased inventory could lead to potential storage costs and the risk of obsolescence if not sold within an appropriate timeframe, therefore creating a potentially misleading image of the division's economic performance.
Ethics in Accounting
For Aston as a controller, his responsibility should extend beyond just meeting current period income objectives. He should also consider the long-term financial picture and be transparent about the financial health and performance of the division. Carrying out a strategy that potentially misrepresents the division's true operational performance could arguably be seen as unethical.

g In 2009, an agricultural company introduced a new cropping process which reduced the cost of growing some of its crops. If sales in 2008 and 2009 were steady at $30 million, but the gross margin increased from 2.8% to 3.9% between those years, by what amount was the cost of sales reduced
Answer:
$ 330000
Explanation:
Gross margin represent the amount of money remaining after the removal or subtraction of cost of product or services sold from its net sales \
Gross margin = ( total revenue - costs of good sold ) × 100
the sales in 2008 and 2009 were steady at $ 30 million dollar
the gross margin increased from 2.8% to 3.9 %
the amount the cost of sales reduced = ( $ 30 million × 0.039) - ( $ 30 million × 0.028) = $ 330000
