Explanation:
If my friend wants to invest her $5000 and asks recommendations from me, then the main question i ask from her would be how much risk she is ready to take. There are different investment opportunities depending upon the level of risk a person is willing to take. If my friend would like to go safe and doesn't need any risk in her investment, then i would recommend her to buy Treasury Bills for long term investment. There would be no risk involved. Secondly i may ask her to put her money in the saving account to enjoy interest money while keeping the principal amount safe. Thirdly i may ask her to invest in real estate for long term. Again the risk would be minimal. But if she wants to take risks, i would ask her to invest in the short term stocks and keep an eye on the movement of the stocks to get profit. Secondly i may ask her to invest in the foreign exchange market, in currencies or in commodities to get benefits on the rule of high risk high return.
So these are some recommendations for her on the basis of the risk she wants to take.
Aspen Corporation has two divisions, East and West. Its corporate office is separate from these divisions and incurred $190,000 in administrative costs during the year. These costs are allocated to the divisions based on their individual revenues. During the year, the East and West divisions had revenues of $1,800,000 and $2,200,000, respectively. How much of the administrative cost should be assigned to the East division based on the cost allocation rule described?
Answer: the administrative cost that should be assigned to the East division is $85,500.
Explanation: The East division should be assigned with the 45% of the administrative revenues since the total revenues obtained by the two divisions is $1,800,000 plus $2,200,000 equals $4,000,000. $4,000,000 is the total and $1,800,000 is the 45% of the total ($1,800,000 times 100 divided by $4,000,000). 45% of $190,000 is $85,500.
The East division of Aspen Corporation should be assigned $72,500 of the administrative costs based on the cost allocation rule described.
Explanation:In this question, the administrative costs incurred by Aspen Corporation need to be allocated to the East and West divisions based on their individual revenues. To calculate the allocation for the East division, we can use the formula: (East division revenue / Total revenue) * Administrative costs. Using the provided information, the allocation for the East division would be:
((1,800,000 / (1,800,000 + 2,200,000)) * 190,000 = $72,500

You have one semester left to graduate and you have the finances to do a maximum of four courses. Three of the courses are required courses. The last course slot belongs to an elective. You have narrowed down your choices to three electives, all of which are very popular and very useful courses that you are very interested in. Decide on the course you want to take. Then using at least two economic decision-making principles, explain why you are making this choice.
As a rational economic agent, out of the three electives I have selected, I will choose the one that will maximize my expected utility. This discipline, therefore, will be chosen according to my preference and with the marginal benefit that will add me.
Principle 1: Economic agents are rational
Principle 2: Economic agents think on the sidelines - this means that consumers make choices that add benefits to their utility functions.
Maloney, Inc., has an odd dividend policy. The company has just paid a dividend of $7 per share and has announced that it will increase the dividend by $6 per share for each of the next five years, and then never pay another dividend. If you require a return of 14 percent on the company’s stock, how much will you pay for a share today?
Answer:
i will pay $80.47 or lower, to achieve 14% yield or higher.
Explanation:
We have to calcualte the present value of the dividends cash flow.
because the dividends will growth until a certain date, we cannot use the gordon model.
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Month&Dividend&PV&Year1&13&11.40&Year2&19&14.62&Year3&25&16.874&Year4&31&18.35&Year5&37&19.21&Year6&43&19.591&Intrinsic&Value&80.47\end{array}\right][/tex]
For each dividend, we do previous year + 6
Then for Present value:
[tex]\frac{Dividends}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
for example year 3
[tex]\frac{25}{(1.14)^{3} } = 16.874[/tex]
The price you should pay for a share of Maloney, Inc.'s stock today is approximately 78.29 dollars per share.
To determine the current price of Maloney, Inc.'s stock today, we need to calculate the present value of the dividends that will be paid over the next five years, and also consider the price of the stock at the end of the fifth year when no more dividends will be paid.
Given:
- Current dividend: $7 per share
- Dividend growth rate: $6 per share per year for 5 years
- Required return (discount rate): 14%
Step 1: Calculate Dividends for Years 1 to 5
The dividends for each year are as follows:
- Year 1: $7 per share
- Year 2: $13 per share (7 + 6)
- Year 3: $19 per share (13 + 6)
- Year 4: $25 per share (19 + 6)
- Year 5: $31 per share (25 + 6)
Step 2: Calculate Present Value of Dividends
Now, calculate the present value (PV) of the dividends using the formula for the present value of a growing annuity:
[tex]PV = \frac{D_1}{(1 + r)^1} + \frac{D_2}{(1 + r)^2} + \frac{D_3}{(1 + r)^3} + \frac{D_4}{(1 + r)^4} + \frac{D_5}{(1 + r)^5}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]D_1 = $7 \\\\ D_2 = $13 \\\\ D_3 = $19 \\\\ D_4 = $25 \\\\ D_5 = $31 \\\\ r = 14% or 0.14[/tex]
Let's calculate each term:
[tex]PV = \frac{7}{(1 + 0.14)^1} + \frac{13}{(1 + 0.14)^2} + \frac{19}{(1 + 0.14)^3} + \frac{25}{(1 + 0.14)^4} + \frac{31}{(1 + 0.14)^5} \\\\ PV = \frac{7}{1.14} + \frac{13}{1.14^2} + \frac{19}{1.14^3} + \frac{25}{1.14^4} + \frac{31}{1.14^5} \\\\[/tex]
Calculating each term:
[tex]PV = \frac{7}{1.14} + \frac{13}{(1.14)^2} + \frac{19}{(1.14)^3} + \frac{25}{(1.14)^4} + \frac{31}{(1.14)^5} \\\\ PV \approx 6.14 + 10.84 + 13.90 + 15.71 + 15.60\\\\ PV \approx 62.19[/tex]
Step 3: Calculate Price of Stock Today
Finally, add the present value of the dividends to the price of the stock at the end of Year 5 (when no more dividends will be paid), discounted back to the present value:
[tex]\text{Price today} = PV + \frac{D_5}{(1 + r)^5} \\\\ \text{Price today} = 62.19 + \frac{31}{(1.14)^5}[/tex]
Calculate [tex]\frac{31}{(1.14)^5}[/tex] :
[tex]\frac{31}{(1.14)^5} \approx \frac{31}{1.925 } \approx 16.10 \\\\ \text{Price today} = 62.19 + 16.10 \\\\ \text{Price today} \approx 78.29[/tex]
Therefore, the price you should pay for a share of Maloney, Inc.'s stock today is approximately 78.29 dollars per share.
During the year, credit sales amounted to $820,000. Cash collected on credit sales amounted to $780,000, and $15,000 has been written off. At the end of the year, the company adjusted for bad debts expense using the percent-of-sales method and applied a rate, based on past history, of 2.5%. The ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts is ________.
Answer:
The ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts is 20,500 CREDIT
Explanation:
The ending balance of Allowance for bad debts would be the 2.5% of sales
The adjustment is made to get the allowance for Bad Debt match the estimate uncollectible ammounts.
Notice it state "company adjusted for bad debt expense"
This means it debit this account as much as it needed to be to make allowance match the estimate allowance.
The write-off are transaction durign the period. They are irrelevant
So the ending balance is:
2.5% of credit sales of 820,000 = $20,500
It is important to remember that Allowance is a counter-asset account. His normal balance is credit, so the final balance is credit.
Under Pick Co.'s job order costing system, manufacturing overhead is applied to Work-in-Process using a predetermined annual overhead rate. During January, Pick's transactions included the following: Direct materials issued to production $ 120,000 Indirect materials issued to production 11,000 Manufacturing overhead incurred 170,000 Manufacturing overhead applied 158,000 Direct labor costs 144,500 Pick had neither beginning nor ending inventory in Work-in-Process Inventory. What was the cost of jobs completed in January? (CPA adapted)
Answer:
Total Cost of the jobs: 434,500
Explanation:
DM 120,000
DL 144,500
MO applied 158,000
adjustment for MO to COGS 12,000
(because is a job order costing, in most cases the actual manufacturing overhead is know after the job is done)
Notice the indirect mateirals represent MO so it will be as part of that concept.
Total cost:
120,000+ 144,500 + 158,000 + 12,000 = 434,500
Mary and David are partners who share profits and losses on a 3:1 basis. This means Mary receives 75% and David receives 25% of income after any allocations. Mary receives a salary allowance of $15,000. Earnings for the period total $51,000. What will be the total amount credited to Mary's Capital account when the Income Summary account is closed?
Answer:
$53,250
Explanation:
In case of profit sharing ratio 3:1
Mary will receive 75% of profits, provided after any allocations made.
Therefore total share of Mary = Salary + Share in profit.
= $15,000.00 + ($51,000.00 X 75%) = $15,000.00 + $38,250.00 = $53,250.00
Note: Salary will also be credited to Mary's capital account, although in some cases firms also open partner's current account in that case salary will be credited to current account and not the capital account. But generally only one capital account is being operated.
Therefore amount credited to Mary's Capital Account = $53,250.00

Which of the following elements are used in calculating revenue in a flexible budget? A) budgeted selling price and actual quantity of outputB) actual selling price and budgeted quantity of outputC) budgeted selling price and budgeted quantity of outputD) actual selling price and actual quantity of output
Answer:
The correct answer is A) budgeted selling price and actual quantity of output.
Explanation:
We call a flexible budget to a budget that is adjusted or flexed with some changes in activity or volume. It is noticeable that a flexible budget tends to be more sophisticated and useful than a statistic budget. And to calculate revenue in a flexible budget, it is necessary a budgeted selling price and actual quantity of output.
Revenue in a flexible budget is calculated using the budgeted selling price and the actual quantity of output.
Explanation:In a flexible budget, the elements used to calculate revenue are the budgeted selling price and the actual quantity of output. Hence, the correct answer to the question is: A) budgeted selling price and actual quantity of output. Flexible budgets adjust to different levels of activity and provide a more accurate tool for comparing budgeted performance at different levels of activity. They consider what revenues and costs should have been, given the actual level of output during the period.
The unadjusted trial balance at year-end for a company that uses the percent of receivables method to determine its bad debts expense reports the following selected amounts:
Accounts receivable $441,000 Debit
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 1,310 Debit
Net Sales 2,160,000 Credit
All sales are made on credit.
Based on past experience, the company estimates 2.5% of ending accounts receivable will be uncollectible.
What adjusting entry should the company make at the end of the current year to record its estimated bad debts expense?
a. Debit Bad Debts Expense $11,025; credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $11,025.
b. Debit Bad Debts Expense $9,715; credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $9,715.
c. Debit Bad Debts Expense $12,335; credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $12,335.
d. Debit Bad Debts Expense $5,400; credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $5,400.
e. Debit Bad Debts Expense $15,400; credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $15,400.
Answer:
The adjusting entry at the end of the year is option c.
Debit Bad Debts Expense $12,335;
credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $12,335
Explanation:
Bad debt : The amount which is not received by the customer for good supplied by the company is treated as a bad debt.
In the given question,
The 2.5% of ending accounts receivable will be uncollectible so, the allowance would be equals to
= 2.5 % of Accounts receivable
= 2.5 % × $441,000
= $110,25
Now add the allowance for doubtful accounts to the allowance which is calculated above.
So,
= $110,25 + 1,310
= $12,335
The estimated bad debts expense is $12,335
Hence, the adjusting entry at the end of the year is option c.
Debit Bad Debts Expense $12,335;
credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $12,335
Final answer:
The correct adjusting entry to record the estimated bad debts expense, considering the percent of receivables method and the current debit balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, is to debit Bad Debts Expense and credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts by $12,335. Option C is correct.
Explanation:
To determine the adjusting entry for bad debts expense using the percent of receivables method, we first calculate the desired ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. This is done by multiplying the ending accounts receivable balance by the bad debt percentage, which is 2.5% in this case. So, the calculation is $441,000 * 2.5% = $11,025.
Next, we need to adjust the current balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to reach the calculated desired balance. The existing balance is a debit of $1,310, which is unusual as this account typically has a credit balance. To correct this and achieve the desired credit balance of $11,025, we need to add both the desired ending balance and the absolute value of the current balance, resulting in an adjusting entry of $11,025 + $1,310 = $12,335.
The correct adjusting entry is therefore: Debit Bad Debts Expense $12,335; credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $12,335. This adjusts the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to the proper credit balance, reflecting the estimated uncollectible receivables.

Compute the correct cost of goods sold for each year.
Answer:
Real COGS 143,150 178,250
Explanation:

When overstated, it means an inventory with a book value of 100 is really 95
When understated, it means an inventory with a book value of 100 is really 105
This makes the COGS lower than it should in the first case
and higher than it should in the second
Notice:
Because of 2018 adjustment, beginning and availalbe good must be recalculate for 2019

Reason: Financing for public corporations can be done through various sources of finance like financial markets, financial institutes and internal funds. It is not compulsion to finance the capital of public companies through financial markets.
The following statement is False.
(b). Financing for private corporations must flow through financial intermediaries.
Reason: Financing for private corporations does not necessarily need to flow through financial intermediaries. This can be done either directly or indirectly, i.e. with or without intermediaries.
The following statement is False.
(c). Almost all foreign exchange trading occurs on the floors of the FOREX exchanges in New York and London.
Reason: Not necessarily, there are several FOREX exchanges around the world where foreign exchange trading occurs.
The following statement is False.
(d). Derivative markets are a major source of finance for many corporations.
Reason: Derivative markets are not necessarily a major source of finance for many corporations, since there are other financial institutions such as banks etc.
The following statement is False.
(e). The opportunity cost of capital is the capital outlay required to undertake a real investment opportunity.
Reason: The opportunity cost of capital is defined as the incremental return on investment that a firm foregoes when it decides to use funds for a project, rather than investing cash in a marketable security.
The following statement is False.
(f). The cost of capital is the interest rate paid on borrowing from a bank or other financial institution.
Reason:Cost of capital is the required return necessary to make a capital budgeting project.
Financial markets and intermediaries aid various businesses in raising capital. Foreign exchange is not solely bound by physical exchange floors and derivative markets do provide indirect finance benefits to corporations. The opportunity cost of capital relates to foregone investments, while cost of capital corresponds to interest on borrowed funds.
Explanation:The subject of the question pertains to financial markets and their role in the capital structure of corporations, both public and private. Fundamentally, whether public or private, businesses raise capital through financial markets or intermediaries. Foreign exchange trading, while also occurring on the floor of the FOREX in New York and London, happens digitally as well, often in more vast amounts. Derivative markets, though not directly a source of capital, are used by corporations for hedging risk and speculation. Opportunity cost of capital refers to the return that could have been earned on the best-forgone investment, not the initial capital outlay. The cost of capital indeed refers to the interest corporations pay on borrowed finances.

Perpetuities are also called annuities with an extended or unlimited life. Based on your understanding of perpetuities, answer the following questions. Which of the following are characteristics of a perpetuity? Check all that apply. The value of a perpetuity cannot be determined. The current value of a perpetuity is based more on the discounted value of its nearer (in time) cash flows and less by the discounted value of its more distant (in the future) cash flows.
Answer:
The current value of a perpetuity is based more on the discounted value of its nearer (in time) cash flows and less by the discounted value of its more distant (in the future) cash flows.
Explanation:
The perpetuities can becalculate as follow
C/rate = Perpetuities
the reasoning behind this formula:
[tex]C * \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
If we calculate limit whe ntime is infite,
because at more time 1 + r gets closer and closer to 0
we get on the dividend
1 - 0
So we have C x 1/i = C/i
Next part would be why the first cash flow is more relevant than the subsequent cash flow:
[tex]\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Here if time increases, then the divisor get closer to ∞ so we have
P ( a constant) /∞ = 0
So the first cashflow is more relevant than the more distant cash flow
Final answer:
Perpetuities are financial instruments with indefinite cash flows, and their value can be calculated by discounting those cash flows to present value, with near-term cash flows having a stronger impact on its value than distant ones.
Explanation:
Perpetuities are financial instruments that provide a stream of cash flows indefinitely. One of the key characteristics of a perpetuity is that its value can indeed be determined using a formula that discounts its cash flows back to their present value. Furthermore, due to the nature of discounting, the current value of a perpetuity is indeed affected more by the discounted value of its nearer cash flows compared to those that are more distant in the future. This is because as time goes on, the present value of the future payments becomes less significant due to the higher discount rate applied over a longer period.

For a certain product, the cost function is linear with fixed costs of $480. If the product will sell for $25 per unit and the break even quantity is 80 units, find the marginal cost and marginal profit for the product.
Answer:
Marginal Cost = $19
Marginal Profit = $6
Explanation:
Break even quantity = [tex]\frac{fixed cost}{contribution per unit}[/tex]
80 = [tex]\frac{480}{contribution}[/tex]
Contribution = [tex]\frac{480}{80}[/tex] = 6 per unit
Contribution = Sales - Variable cost = $25 - VC = $6
$25 - $6 = VC = $19
Marginal cost is cost incurred for every additional unit produced, i.e. variable cost = $19, as fixed cost remains constant.
Marginal revenue is additional revenue on sale of every unit = contribution per unit = $6
Marginal cost = $19
Marginal Profit = $6
Central Metals, Inc. is considering investing in a silver mine. An investment of $500,000 would be made for one year with the following potential outcomes: What's the expected rate of return? Rate of Return Probability of Outcome 150% .10 60% .25 35% .50 (100%) .15 15.2% 120% 50% 32.5%
Answer:
The expected rate of return is 32.5%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return is equal to the sum of all the outcomes. So, in order to obtain the rate of return, you have to multiply each possible outcome by its probability of occurrence. Note that the sum of [tex]0.10 + 0.25 + 0.50 + 0.15 = 1 = 100%[/tex], that means that the probability of all outcomes has to sum 100%.
The result of each outcome multiplied by its probability is:
[tex]150% * 0.10 = 0.15[/tex][tex]60% * 0.25 = 0.15[/tex][tex]35% * 0.50 = 0.175[/tex][tex](100%) * 0.15 = (0.15)[/tex]The result of the sum of those calculations is equal to 0.325, or 32.5%.

a) Assets Turnover = [tex]\frac{Net Sales}{Average Total Assets}[/tex] = 1.6 times
Return on total assets = [tex]\frac{Net profit}{Average Total assets}[/tex] = 12%
Then we have profit margin on sales = [tex]\frac{Return on total assets}{Asset turnover ratio}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{1.6}[/tex] = 7.5%
b) In case asset turnover declined to 2 times with profit margin of 6% then Return on total assets = Asset turnover ratio X Profit Margin
= 2 X 6% = 12%
Thus there is no change in that case on return on total investments.
a) Baker's profit margin = 7.5%
b) Thus there is no change in that case on return on total investments.
Final answer:
Baker Oats' profit margin is calculated as 7.5%. Its return on total assets remained at 12% despite changes in asset turnover and profit margin in the following year. The firm's accounting profit in the self-check question was $50,000.
Explanation:
To calculate Baker Oats's profit margin, we use the formula for Return on Total Assets (ROTA):
ROTA = Asset Turnover × Profit Margin
Given that ROTA is 12% and Asset Turnover is 1.6 times per year, the profit margin (PM) can be calculated as:
ROTA / Asset Turnover = PM
12% / 1.6 = PM
PM = 7.5%
For part b, to find how the return on total assets changed when the assets turnover went up to 2 times and profit margin decreased to 6%, we calculate:
New ROTA = New Asset Turnover × New Profit Margin
New ROTA = 2 × 6%
New ROTA = 12%
Even though the profit margin decreased, the increase in asset turnover kept the ROTA the same year-over-year.
As for the self-check question provided: The accounting profit is calculated by subtracting explicit costs from total revenues.
Accounting Profit = Total Revenue - (Labor Costs + Capital Costs + Material Costs)
Accounting Profit = $1,000,000 - ($600,000 + $150,000 + $200,000)
Accounting Profit = $1,000,000 - $950,000
Accounting Profit = $50,000

Dalton Industries makes all purchases on account, subject to the following payment pattern: Paid in the month of purchase: 25% Paid in the first month following purchase: 55% Paid in the second month following purchase: 20% If purchases for January, February, and March were $210,000, $190,000, and $240,000, respectively, what were the firm's budgeted payments in March?
Answer:
The firm's budgeted payments in March is $206,500
Explanation:
The purchase pattern is categorized into three percentage : 25%, 55% , and 20%
Here, following month is considered to be a month which is before than actual month.
The firm's budgeted payments in March is computed below:
= 25% of march month + 55% of February month + 20% of January month
= 25% × $240,000 + 55% × $190,000 + 20% × $210,000
= $60,000 + $104,500 + $42,000
= $206,500
Thus, the firm's budgeted payments in March is $206,500
An investment counselor calls with a hot stock tip. He believes that if the economy remains strong, the investment will result in a profit of $50 comma 000. If the economy grows at a moderate pace, the investment will result in a profit of $20 comma 000. However, if the economy goes into recession, the investment will result in a loss of $50 comma 000. You contact an economist who believes there is a 20% probability the economy will remain strong, a 60% probability the economy will grow at a moderate pace, and a 20% probability the economy will slip into recession. What is the expected profit from this investment?
Profit when economy is strong = $ 50,000
Profit when economy is at moderate pace = $ 20,000
Loss when economy is at reccession = $ 50,000
P (economy remain strong) = 20/100 = 0.2
P (economy at moderate pace) = 0.6
P (economy at reccession) = 0.2
Expected profit = Total x P (2)
= (0.2 × 50,000) + (0.6 × 20,000) - (0.2 × 50,000)
= 10,000.0 + 12,000.0 - 10,000.0
= $ 12,000
••• Expected profit = $ 12,000
Further Explanation
New profits arise in economic activities using the financial system. Profit is not obtained by chance, but thanks to the special efforts of people who use money.
Because of the relationship with money transactions, profitability specifically takes place in the context of capitalism.
Declining this view, capitalists include 3 main elements: private property institutions, the practice of profit-seeking, and competition in a free-market economic system.

The expected profit from this investment is $12,000.
Explanation:To calculate the expected profit from this investment, we will multiply the profit for each outcome by its corresponding probability and then sum up the results.
For a strong economy, the profit is $50,000 with a probability of 20%. So the expected profit for a strong economy is 50,000 × 0.20 = $10,000.
For a moderate-paced economy, the profit is $20,000 with a probability of 60%. So the expected profit for a moderate-paced economy is 20,000× 0.60 = $12,000.
For a recession, the profit is -$50,000 with a probability of 20%. Hence, the expected loss for a recession is 50,000 × 0.20 = -$10,000.
To calculate the total expected profit, we add up the expected profits and losses: $10,000 + $12,000 - $10,000 = $12,000.

If someone offered to give you a $500,000 noninterest-bearing note that was due 5 years from today. (you will receive only one $500,000 payment three years from today) How much would you loan them if you wanted to earn an 6% annual interest rate that is compounded semiannually?
Answer:
We can accept the note giving 418,742.13 or less.
Explanation:
There is a note due in 5 year.
When someone offered this note, it was 3 years from maturity. Is asking you to purchase the note for cash.
The idea is that we receive 500,000 in the future.
For how much are we willing to accept the note?
We are going to discount the 500,000 in three years using our 6% rate compound semiannually.
[tex]Principal * (1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{time* n} = Ammount[/tex]
Where n is the times the rate compounds within a year.
semiannual rate, capitalize 2 times per year.
We post our givens and solve:
[tex]Principal * (1+ \frac{0.06}{2} )^{3* 2} = 500,000[/tex]
[tex]\frac{500,000}{(1 + 0.03)^{6}} = PV [/tex]
PV = 418742.1283
PV = 418,742.13
We can accept the note giving 418,742.13 or less.

At the beginning of 2016, Emily Corporation issued 24,000 shares of $100 par, 7%, cumulative, preferred stock for $110 per share. No dividends have been paid to preferred or common shareholders. What amount of dividends will a preferred shareholder owning 100 shares receive in 2018 if Emily pays $1,000,000 in dividends?
Answer: $2,100
Explanation:
Given:
No. of shares 24,000 of $100 par
Dividend per year = (100 shares X $100 par) X 7% = $700
Since, the preferred stock is cumulative, the holders will receive past dividends not distributed.

Exercise 10-7 Direct Materials Variances [LO10-1] Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 5.70 pounds $ 2.50 per pound $ 14.25 Direct labor 0.50 hours $ 7.50 per hour $ 3.75 During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: Eleven thousand pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.40 per pound. The company produced only 1,100 units, using 9,900 pounds of material. (The rest of the material purchased remained in raw materials inventory.) 650 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $7,800. Required: Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Direct Material Price Variance = $1,100 Favorable
Direct Material Quantity Variance = - $9,075 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Direct Material Price Variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) X Actual Quantity
Provided Standard Price = $2.50
Actual Price = $2.40
Actual Quantity = 11,000 pounds
Direct Material Price Variance = ($2.5 - $2.4) X 11,000 pounds
= $1,100 Favorable
This is favorable because actual price is less than Standard Price.
Direct Material Quantity Variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) X Standard Price
Standard Quantity for Actual Output = 1,100 X 5.70 pounds per unit = 6,270 pounds
Actual Quantity used = 9,900 pounds
Standard Price = $2.50
Direct Material Quantity Variance = (6,270 - 9,900) X $2.5
= - $9,075 Unfavorable
This is unfavorable because as per standard norms only 6,270 pounds of raw material was needed to produce 1,100 units of Zoom.
Final Answer
Direct Material Price Variance = $1,100 Favorable
Direct Material Quantity Variance = - $9,075 Unfavorable
Final answer:
To calculate the materials price variance, subtract the standard price from the actual price and multiply by the actual quantity purchased, resulting in a favorable variance of $1,100. To calculate the materials quantity variance, subtract the standard quantity allowed from the actual quantity used and multiply by the standard price, resulting in an unfavorable variance of $9,075.
Explanation:
The student is asking how to calculate the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance for the production of a cleaning compound named Zoom. Here are the calculations:
Materials Price Variance = (Actual Price - Standard Price) × Actual Quantity Purchased
Materials Price Variance = ($2.40 - $2.50) × 11,000 pounds
Materials Price Variance = $0.10 × 11,000 pounds
Materials Price Variance = $1,100 (F)
Materials Quantity Variance = (Actual Quantity Used - Standard Quantity Allowed) × Standard Price
Materials Quantity Variance = (9,900 pounds - (1,100 units × 5.70 pounds/unit)) × $2.50/pound
Materials Quantity Variance = (9,900 pounds - 6,270 pounds) × $2.50/pound
Materials Quantity Variance = 3,630 pounds × $2.50/pound
Materials Quantity Variance = $9,075 (U)
On January 1, Puckett Company paid $1.6 million for 50,000 shares of Harrison’s voting common stock, which represents a 40 percent investment. No allocation to goodwill or other specific account was made. Significant influence over Harrison is achieved by this acquisition and so Puckett applies the equity method. Harrison declared a $2 per share dividend during the year and reported net income of $560,000. What is the balance in the Investment in Harrison account found in Puckett’s financial records as of December 31
Answer:
The $1,724,000 is the investment amount which is to be recorded as of December 31.
Explanation:
For computing the investment income, the calculation is shown below:
= Paid value + net income percentage - dividend
where,
Paid value= $1.6 million
Net income percentage = Net income × percentage
= $560,000 × 40%
= $224,000
And, dividend = number of shares × per share
= 50,000 × 2
= $100,000
So, the investment amount would be
= Paid amount + net income percentage - dividend
= $1,600,000 + $224,000 - $100,000
= $1,724,000
Hence, the $1,724,000 is the investment amount which is to be recorded as of December 31.
Final answer:
The balance in the Investment in Harrison account at year-end is $1.724 million, after accounting for Puckett's share of Harrison's net income and subtracting dividends received.
Explanation:
When Puckett Company invested in Harrison's common stock, they paid $1.6 million for a 40 percent stake, which amounts to 50,000 shares. To calculate the balance in the Investment in Harrison account at year-end, we must consider the equity method, which includes any dividends received and Puckett's share of Harrison's net income.
The equity method accounting involves adjusting the investment account for Puckett's share of Harrison's earnings and dividends distributed:
Calculate Puckett's share of Harrison's net income: $560,000 (Harrison's net income)Therefore, the balance in the Investment in Harrison account at the end of the year is $1.724 million.
The price of a cup of coffee is $2.00 and the price of a cookie is $1.00. Mary has $8 a day to spend on coffee and cookies. Draw Mary's budget line. Label it. The budget line marks the boundary between ______. A. what Mary can afford and what she cannot afford B. what Mary would like to buy and what she would not like to buy C. what Mary wants and what Mary needs D. what is essential and what is a luxury good for Mary
Answer:
A. what Mary can afford and what she cannot afford
Explanation:
The line will be the combination between Cookies and coffees she can afford with his daily income of 8
She can afford to purchase any combination on the line or below the line
for example,
She can buy either 4 coffees = 8
3 coffees 2 cookies = 8
2 coffee 4 cookies = 8
1 coffe 6 cookies = 8
8 cookies = 8
or just 1 coffe = 2
She cannot afford above the line
4 coffe and 3 cookies = 4*2 + 3 *1 = 11
Leilani enters into a contract with Metro Taxi Company to work as a cabdriver. Under the plain meaning rule, if the contract’s writing is clear and unequivocal, the meaning of the terms must be determined from a. any relevant extrinsic evidence. b. only evidence not contained in the document. c. the later testimony of the parties. d. only the face of the instrument.
Answer:
The correct option is d) only the face of the instrument
Explanation:
Here when Leilani is entering in to a contract with Metro taxi company to work as a cabdriver, the contract made by the Metro taxi company has clearly stated the terms of condition for the job of cabdriver and it is told in the question that the terms of contract were unequivocal which means all the terms and condition were clearly stated and there was no confusion regarding any of the detail.
So when under the plain meaning rule, the meaning of the terms would be determined only the basis of what is written in the contract not on any extrinsic evidence or something which is not there but only on the face of the instrument.
Ofarrell Corporation, a company that produces and sells a single product, has provided its contribution format income statement for March. Sales (6,800 units) $306,000; Variable expenses 149,600; Contribution margin 156,400; Fixed expenses 96,500; Net operating income $ 59,900. If the company sells 7,200 units, its net operating income should be closest to________.
Answer:
The net operating income should be $69,100 for 7,200 units.
Explanation:
Given,
Sales (6800) units - $306,000
Variable expense (6800) - 149,600
Contribution - 156,400 (Sales - Variable cost )
Less - Fixed Expense $96,500
Net operating Income - $59,900
Since, the sales and the variable expense is given for 6800 units. For computing the net operating income for 7200 units, it is important to calculate per unit price of both.
Per unit sales = Sales ÷ Number of units
= $306,000 ÷ 6800 units
= $45 per unit sale
Per unit variable expense = Variable expense ÷ Units
= 149,600 ÷ 6800 units
= 22 per unit expense.
Now, we can compute easily.
Sales = (7200 × $45) = $324,000
Less - Variable cost (7200 × $22) = 158,400
Contribution - $165,600
Less - Fixed expense - $ 96500
Net operating income - $69,100
The fixed expense would remain the same.
Thus, the net operating income should be $69,100 for 7,200 units.
