Correct Question
You are given the following probability distribution of returns for stock IN A probability of 0.2 that the return will be 12 a probability of 0.35 that the return will be 18 a probability of 0.3 that the return will be 10 and a probability of 0.15 that the return will be 10 What is the expected return of this stock
Answer:
expected return of this stock = 13.2%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return is the weighted average of all the possible returns associated with an investment decision. The returns are weighted using the probability associated with their outcomes.
Expected return = WaRa + Wb+Rb + Wn+Rn
W- weight of the outcome, R - return of the outcome
=(0.2× 12%) + (0.35× 18%) + (0.30×10%) + (0.15 × 10%)
= 13.2%
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
When examining the Fed's balance sheet, in most periods, the two most important assets are: A. U.S. Treasury securities and Gold. B. Gold and Mortgage minus backed securities. C. Mortgage minus backed securities and Discount loans to banks. D. U.S. Treasury securities and Discount loans to banks.
Answer: D. U.S. Treasury securities and Discount loans to banks.
Explanation: When examining the Fed's balance sheet, in most periods, the two most important assets are U.S. Treasury securities and Discount loans to banks. The Fed's balance sheet balance sheet includes a large number of distinct assets and liabilities containing a great deal of information about the scale and scope of its operations. Of these assets the U.S. Treasury securities and Discount loans to banks are paramount.
U.S Treasury securities are such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. government viewed as having virtually no credit risk. As such, they are debt obligations of the U.S. government.
Discount loans to banks are direct short term loans provided to banks by the Fed to meet temporary shortages of liquidity caused by internal or external disruptions.
Cullumber Construction Company earned $400,000 during the year ended June 30, 2017. After paying out $225,794 in dividends, the balance went into retained earnings. If the firm's total retained earnings were $841,936 at the end of fiscal year 2017, what were the retained earnings on its balance sheet on July 1, 2016
Answer:
Opening balance of retained earnings is $667,730
Explanation:
The balance of retained earnings at the the end is the sum of opening balance, profit earned and less dividend payment for the period
Retained earnings at the end = Opening balance + profit - dividend
let y represent the opening balance
841, 936 = y + 400,000 - 225,794
y= 841, 936-400,000 + 225,794
y= $667,730
Opening balance of retained earnings = balance sheet on July 1, 2016 is $667, 730
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.
Which one of the following statements is CORRECT? A Since companies can deduct dividends paid but not interest paid, our tax system favors the use of equity financing over debt financing, and this causes companies’ debt ratios to be lower than they would be if interest and dividends were both deductible. B Interest paid to an individual is counted as income for federal tax purposes and taxed at the individual’s regular tax rate, which in 2008 could go up to 35%, but dividends received were taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. C The maximum federal tax rate on corporate income in 2008 was 50%. D The maximum federal tax rate on personal income in 2008 was 50%.
Answer: B. Interest paid to an individual is counted as income for federal tax purposes and taxed at the individual’s regular tax rate, which in 2008 could go up to 35%, but dividends received were taxed at a maximum rate of 15%.
Explanation:
Interest received by individuals is considered gross income and as such is eligible for taxation.
The tax rate is dependant on the income of the Individual's income which in 2005 was up to 35% but is now up to 39.6%.
Dividends received however are taxed up to 15%.
Final answer:
Statement B is correct about tax rates on interest and dividends. Dual taxation is a financial disadvantage for corporations. Tax efficiency and market distortions are key considerations in the income tax system.
Explanation:
Statement B is correct. Interest paid to an individual is counted as income for federal tax purposes and taxed at the individual’s regular tax rate, which in 2008 could go up to 35%, but dividends received were taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. This discrepancy in tax rates between interest and dividends creates different tax implications for individuals.
Dual taxation is a significant financial disadvantage faced by corporations where profits are taxed twice: once at the corporate level and again when dividends are distributed to shareholders, causing complexity in corporate tax regulations.
Tax efficiency and market distortions, as mentioned in the text, highlight the complexities and debates surrounding the impact of tax preferences and incentives in the federal income tax system on individual behaviors and economic activities.

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

A registered securities agent solicits a customer to buy mutual fund shares. The customer buys 200 shares, sending a check made out to the fund's custodian bank to the agent. The agent does not record the trade on the books of the broker-dealer.
Under the Uniform Securities Act, this action is:
Answer: prohibited private securities transaction
Explanation: The action performed by the registered securities agent by soliciting a customer to buy mutual funds and not recording the trade in the books after the customer buys under the Uniform Securities Act is a prohibited private securities transaction. This is essentially because private securities transactions are a prohibited business practice under the Act as a result, every trade effected by an agent must be recorded on the books of the broker-dealer and which in turn must be supervised by the broker-dealer.
Mathis Co. at the end of 2014, its first year of operations, prepared a reconciliation between pretax financial income and taxable income as follows:
Pretax financial income $800,000
Estimated litigation expense 2,000,000
Installment sales (1,600,000)
Taxable income $1,200,000
The estimated litigation expense of $2,000,000 will be deductible in 2016 when it is expected to be paid. The gross profit from the installment sales will be realized in the amount of $800,000 in each of the next two years. The estimated liability for litigation is classified as noncurrent and the installment accounts receivable are classified as $800,000 current and $800,000 noncurrent. The income tax rate is 30% for all years. The deferred tax asset to be recognized is
A) $240,000
B) $360,000
C) $400,000
D) $800,000
Answer:
A) $240,000
Explanation:
Deferred tax asset is an asset recognized when taxable income and hence tax paid in current period is higher than the tax amount worked out based on accrual basis or where loss carryforward is available. It's classification as current or noncurrent highly depends on the classification of the asset or liability that gave rise to it.
$800,000×30% = $800,000× 0.3 = $240,000
The deferred tax asset to be recognized is $240,000

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

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:
Item
Amount
Potential gross income (PGI)
$340,000
Less: V&C allowance (at 15% of PGI)
($51,000)
Effective Gross Income ( EGI )
$289,000
Hence the EGI is $289,000

The reorder point for BB-1 is 50 sets. What level of safety stock should be maintained forBB-1?
The optimal quantity of safety stock which minimizes expected total cost is nothing ______
Answer:
839.216
Explanation:
For we to calculate the total cost, we use the following
Total Cost = Carrying Cost + Stock out Cost
= 0+ $45 x 4 x [.2(100-80)+.2(120-80)+.1(140-80)] = 1368*
Now
Total Cost = Carrying Cost + stock out Cost
Total cost= [10 x 20]+40 x 4 x [.2990-50-20)+.1(110-50-20)]
Total cost = 200-1115.216+4
Total cost = 839.216
In this exercise we have to use statistical knowledge to find the optimal quantity that best fits the informed stock, thus we have to:
[tex]839.216[/tex]
For we to calculate the total cost, we use then using the formula bellow:
[tex]Total\ Cost = Carrying \ Cost + Stock \ out \ Cost[/tex]
Substituting the values given in the text we have to:
[tex]0+ \$45 * 4 * [2(100-80)+2(120-80)+1(140-80)] = 1368[/tex]
They are using the total cost formula, we have to:
[tex]Total \ Cost = Carrying \ Cost + stock \ out \ Cost[/tex]
Substituting the values given in the text we have to:
[tex]Total = [10 * 20]+40 * 4 * [2990-50-20)+1(110-50-20)]\\Total = 200-1115.216+4\\Total = 839.216[/tex]

Consider a small landscaping company run by Mr. Viemeister. He is considering increasing his firm’s capacity. If he adds one more worker, the firm’s total monthly revenue will increase from $54,000 to $66,000. If he adds one more tractor, monthly revenue will increase from $54,000 to $62,000. Each additional worker costs $4,000 per month, while an additional tractor would also cost $4,000 per month.
. a. What is the marginal revenue product of labor? The marginal revenue product of capital?
b. What is the ratio of the marginal revenue product of labor to the price of labor (MRPL/PL)? . What is the ratio of the marginal product of capital to the price of capital (MRPK/PK)?
. c. Is the firm using the least-costly combination of inputs?
d. Does adding an additional worker or adding an additional tractor yield a larger increase in total revenue for each dollar spent?
Answer:
A.$12,000
B.$8000
C.MRPL/PL = 3
MRPK/PK =2
D) Since each of the above calculated ratios are more than one, therefore adding additional worker or tractor will increase the total revenue for each of the dollar spent.
Explanation:
(a) The Marginal Revenue Product of Labor (MRPL) can said to be the additional revenue generated when an additional worker is employed.
$66,000 - $54,000 = $12,000
Thus, MRPL is 12,000
b) Marginal revenue product of capital is
( 62000 - 54000)= $8000
c) MRPL/PL = 12000/ 4000= 3
MRPK/PK = 8000/4000=2
Therefore Since these two ratios are not equal it means the firm is not using the least cost combination of inputs.
d) Since each of the above calculated ratios are more than one, therefore adding additional worker or tractor will increase the total revenue for each of the dollar spent.
