Answer:
a.
Break even in units sales = 11200 units
b.
Break even in units sales = 7000 units
Explanation:
Break even sales in units is the number of units needed to be sold in order for the company to reach a point where it covers all of its total cost with its total revenue and break evens. It is a point of no profit and no loss and the total revenue is equal to the total costs.
The formula to calculate break even in units is,
Break even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
Where, contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
a.
Break even in units = 560000 / (280 - 230)
Break even in units = 11200 units
b.
Anticipated Break even in units = 560000 / (310 - 230)
Anticipated Break even in units = 7000 units
A project manager is preparing two documents for risk management. One contains sources of overall project risk and also summary information on individual risks. The second describes individual risks identified. What name should the project manager give to the first document
Answer: Risk Report
Explanation:
A Risk Report for a project contains all the risk that the project is exposed to. This includes both project risk as well as individual risks related to the components projects in the overall project.
A Risk Report details the risks such as Supplier failure, Inflation, Pending Government Regulations and the like. It then takes these and summarizes them for presentation to those who require this information in the company so that appropriate safeguards may be set up and precautions taken.
This describes the first document and so should be what the Project Manager names it.
Also assume that a U.S. exporter denominates its Swiss exports in Swiss francs and expects to receive SF250,000 in 1 year. Using the information above, what will be the approximate value of these exports in 1 year in U.S. dollars given that the firm executes a forward hedge
Answer:
The question is missing some key features such the relevant forward rates which are found in the attached complete question:
The correct option is D,$ 255,750.00

value of SF 250,000=250,000*$1.0230=$255,750.00
As a result, the correct options out of the multiple choices provided as found in the attached is option D with $ 255,750.00 as the worth of SF 250,000 using one year forward rate of $1.0230
The auto repair shop of Quality Motor Company uses standards to control the labor time and labor cost in the shop. The standard labor cost for a motor tune-up is given below:
Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost
Motor tune-up 2.50 $36.00 $90.00
The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been misplaced. However, the shop supervisor recalls that 230 tune-ups were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to tune-ups:
Labor rate variance $ 900 F
Labor spending variance $ 249 F
Required:
1. Determine the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week.
2. Determine the actual hourly rate of pay for tune-ups last week. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost
Motor tune-up 2.50 $36.00 $90.00
230 tune-ups were completed during the week
Labor rate variance $ 900 F
Labor spending variance of $ 249 F
1) First, we need to calculate the actual hours:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
249= (2.5*230 - actual quantity)*36
249= 20,700 - 36AQ
-20,451= -36AQ
20,451/36= Actual quantity
568= actual quantity
2) We need to calculate the actual rate:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
900= (36 - Actual Rate)*568
900= 20,448 - 568Actual Rate
19,548/568= Actual Rate
$34.42= Actual Rate
Suppose you are an analyst in the oil refinery industry and are responsible for estimating the equilibrium price and quantity of home heating oil. To do so, you must consider factors that can affect the supply of and demand for heating oil.
Determinants of the demand for heating oil include household income, the price of an oil furnace (a complement to heating oil) and the price of natural gas (a substitute for heating oil). Determinants of the supply of heating oil include the cost of crude oil and the cost of refining crude oil into home heating oil.
1. Suppose that all of the determinants of the supply and demand for heating oil are equal to their initital values. The equilibrium quantity in this market is ___ barrels of heating oil per day,
A. 60,000
B. 50,000
C. 70,000
D. 80,000
E. 40,000
2. and the equilibrium price is ____ per barrel.
A. $40
B. $70
C. $60
D. $50

You want to have $1.5 million in real dollars in a retirement account when you retire in 40 years. The inflation rate is 2.7% and the nominal rate of return on your investment is 10%. What real amount must you deposit each year in the account to achieve your goal?
Answer:
Annual deposit= $6,952.82
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You want to have $1.5 million in real dollars in a retirement account when you retire in 40 years.
Inflation rate= 2.7%
Interest rate= 10%
First, we need to deduct from the interest rate the inflation rate.
Real interest rate= 0.10 - 0.027= 0.073
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the annual deposit:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (1,500,000*0.073) / [(1.073^40)-1]
A= $6,952.82

Which of the following, if true, would illustrate why price indexes such as the CSPI might overstate inflation in the cost of going to college? Check all that apply. The quality and design of calculators improved dramatically from 2017 to 2019. For example, calculators made in 2019 accept memory cards, whereas those made in 2017 do not, but this quality change is hard to measure. A new, safe method of memory enhancement became available for purchase. Professors required each student to buy 10 textbooks, regardless of the price. As the price of textbooks increased, more and more students turned to the used-book market or chose not to buy textbooks at all, instead using the copies on reserve in the library.
Answer:
- The quality and design of calculators improved dramatically from 2017 to 2019.
- A new, safe method of memory enhancement became available for purchase.
- As the price of textbooks increased, more and more students turned to the used-book market or chose not to buy textbooks at all, instead of using the copies on reserve in the library.
Explanation:
Remember, regarding the prices for the textbooks the factors of demand applies that is why when prices increase, it might result in an overstating; which means inflation in the cost of going to college.
Also, just as improvements in the memory of calculators involves additional expenses, it results in inflation. Overall, all these circumstances can result in such inflation.

Computation for Ivory Corporation's 2019 deduction for the above amounts.
In a situation where a Corporation uses the accrual method such Corporation cannot in any way claim a deduction for an accrual with respect to a related party reason been that the recipient have to reports the amount as income.
Therefore Ivory Corporation cannot deduct the $25,000 bonus which was attributable to Oscar because Oscar is the related party until the year 2018.
Ivory Corporation should go ahead and deduct in 2017 the salary payments which is been made to each shareholder plus the accrued bonus to Craig, or $225,000
Salary of $100,000 + Salary of $100,000 + $25,000 bonus

Both are qualified charitable organizations. Disregarding percentage limitations, Zeke's charitable contribution deduction for the year is
Answer:
$56,250.
Explanation:
So, we are given the following data or parameters or information which we will use to solve this particular problem or Question;
=>" Used clothing of taxpayer and his family (all acquired more than a year ago) = $1,350 for Basis and Fair market value = $ 375 "
=> "Stock in ABC, Inc., held as an investment for 15 months 12,000 for Basis and 10,875 for fair market value."
=>" Stock in MNO, Inc., held as an investment for 11 months 15,000 for Basis and 18,000 for fair market value. "
=> "Real estate held as an investment for two years 15,000 for basis and 30,000 for fair market value."
Zeke's charitable contribution deduction for the year can be calculated by adding the the fair markets values of :
Used clothing of taxpayer and his family (all acquired more than a year ago) + Stock in ABC, Inc., held as an investment for 15 months + Real estate held as an investment for two years
Then, the result gotten will be added to the Basis value for Stock in MNO, Inc., held as an investment for 11 months. Thus;
$ 375 + 10,875 + 30,000 = 41,250.
41,250 + 15,000 = $56,250.

Debit Accumulated Depreciation $696,320
Credit Equipment $800,000
To record close of accumulated depreciation and equipment accounts.
Explanation:
a) Straight-line method of depreciation applies the same amount of depreciation charge over the life of the asset. It is calculated by subtracting the salvage value from the asset and dividing the resulting figure by the number of useful life in years. It is very simple, but does not take into consideration maintenance costs incurred as assets age. Therefore, it does not spread the costs of the asset evenly over the periods the asset is in use, or according to the productivity value of the asset in each period.
b) Declining balance method of depreciation accelerates depreciation charge initially but the annual expense declines with age of the fixed asset. Under this method, depreciation expense is calculated by applying the depreciation rate to the book value of the asset at the start of the period.
For the next 2 questions, use the financials of Acme Corporation. After adjusting revenue for accounts receivable and deferred revenue, how much cash did Acme generate from revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2017
Answer: B. $892.1 million
Explanation:
The Revenue was $939,393 million
When calculating how much cash was generated any increase to the Accounts Receivables is removed from the revenue because it signifies that more sales were made on credit and so have not given the business cash yet.
Any increase in Deferred Revenue must be added because this is Cash that has been given to the business but for accrual purposes cannot be recognized yet. Bottomline however, the Cash has been received.
Increase in Receivables = 309,196 - 221,504
= $87,692 million
Increase in Deferred Revenue= 374,730 - 334,358
= $40,372 million
The Cash generated is therefore;
= 939,393 - 87,692 + 40,372
= $892,073
= $892.1 million

A firm sells two products, Regular and Ultra. For every unit of Regular sold, two units of Ultra are sold. The firm's total fixed costs are $1,947,000. Selling prices and cost information for both products follow. What is the firm's break-even point in units of Regular and Ultra?
Answer:
the firm must sell 37,443 units of Regular and 74,886 units of Ultra
Explanation:
Regular - unit sales price= $20; Variables costs per unit = $8
Ultra - unit sales price= $24; Variables costs per unit = $4
combined contribution margin:
1 unit of regular = $20 - $8 = $122 units of ultra = $48 - $8 = $40total = $52break even point = total fixed costs / combined contribution margin = $1,947,000 / $52 = 37,442.31 ≈ 37,443 units
the firm must sell 37,443 units of Regular and 74,886 units of Ultra
On May 31 of the current year, the assets and liabilities of Riser, Inc. are as follows: Cash $16,800; Accounts Receivable, $7,050; Supplies, $700; Equipment, $11,750; Accounts Payable, $9,000. What is the amount of owner's equity as of May 31 of the current year?
Answer:
$27,300
Explanation:
Riser Inc. had the following liabilities and assets on May 31 of the current year
Cash= $16,800
Account receivables= $7,050
Supplies= $700
Equipment= $11,750
Account payable= $9,000
Since Assets = Liabilities+ stockholder's equity
The stockholder's equity can be calculated as follows
Cash+Account receivables+Supplies+Equipment= Account payable+stockholder's equity
$16,800+$7,050+$700+$11,750=$9,000+stockholder's equity
$36,300=$9,000+stockholder's equity
Stockholder's equity= $36,300-$9,000
Stockholder's equity= $27,300
Hence the amount of owner's equity as of May 31 of the current year is $27,300

Answer: An effective Internal Control
Auditors must evaluate internal controls
Auditor's work overseen by Public Accounting Board
Explanation:
The early part of the 21st century saw shocking financially improper activities by companies such as WorldCom and Enron exposed to the world. Investor Confidence was shaken and the government needed to do something to restore it.
This was why in 2002, the US Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley act that aimed to ensure that the actions of those companies were never repeated.
The act requires the following;
a) An effective Internal Control
The act requires that companies enact very effective Internal controls to detect financial irregularities and even went forward to make it the responsibility of the Top Executives to ensure that this is so.
b) Auditors must Evaluate Internal Controls.
Auditors had to change their auditing strategies that were deemed inefficient. They are now required to properly evaluate in-depth, the internal controls that a company adopts to be able to give an opinion on it and they do this based on the guidelines of the Public Accounting Board.
c) Auditor's work overseen by Public Accounting Board
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) was established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with it's main purpose being to monitor and oversee auditors as they audit companies so that they may protect the public from false financial information. They set rules and standards that Auditors must follow and these rules in turn have to be approved by the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC).
To ensure that the deeds of those corporations were never repeated, the US Congress created the Sarbanes-Oxley act in 2002:

Machine setup Setups $16,000 40 25 15
Machining Machine hours 110,000 5,000 1,000 4,000
Packing Orders 30,000 500 150 350
Required:
Prepare a schedule showing the computations Of the activity-based Overhead rates per cost driver.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Machine setup Setups $16,000 40 25 15
Machining Machine hours $110,000 5,000 1,000 4,000
Packing Orders $30,000 500 150 350
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine setup= 16,000/(40+25+15)= $200 per setup
Machining= 110,000/ (5,000 + 1,000 + 4,000= $11 per machine hour
Packing= 30,000/ (500 + 150 + 350)= $30 per order
Trade-Off Theory. Smoke and Mirrors currently has EBIT of $25,000 and is all-equity- financed. EBIT is expected to stay at this level indefinitely. The firm pays corporate taxes equal to 35% of taxable income. The discount rate for the firm’s projects is 10%.(LO3)
a. What is the market value of the firm?

c. Recompute your answer to (b) under the following assumptions: The debt issue raises the probability of bankruptcy. The firm has a 30% chance of going bankrupt after 3 years. If it does go bankrupt, it will incur bankruptcy costs of $200,000. The discount rate is 10%. Should the firm issue the debt?
Answer:
a. What is the market value of the firm?
$162,500b. Now assume the firm issues $50,000 of debt paying interest of 6% per year, using the proceeds to retire equity. The debt is expected to be permanent. What will happen to the total value of the firm (debt plus equity)?
$200,123c. Recompute your answer to (b) under the following assumptions: The debt issue raises the probability of bankruptcy. The firm has a 30% chance of going bankrupt after 3 years. If it does go bankrupt, it will incur bankruptcy costs of $200,000. The discount rate is 10%. Should the firm issue the debt?
The firm should not issue the debt because the risk of bankruptcy eliminates any possible gains obtained from issuing debt. It actually decreases the value of equity.Explanation:
the firm's current value = [EBIT x (1 - tax rate)] / WACC = [$25,000 x 0.65] / 10% = $162,500
firm's new WACC = ($112,500/$162,500 x 10%) + ($50,000/$162,500 x 6% x 0.65) = 6.92% + 1.2% = 8.12%
the firm's new value = [$25,000 x 0.65] / 8.12% = $200,123
expected cost of bankruptcy = (30% x $200,000) / 1.1³ = $45,079
firm's total value is still $200,123, but the stockholders' equity has been reduced from ($200,123 - $50,000 = $150,123) to $150,123 - $45,079 = $105,044
the gain from issuing debt will be eliminated due to the risk of bankruptcy, before equity had risen from $112,500 to $150,123, but now it decreases to $105,044.
The market value of the firm will be $162500.
Based on the information given, the market value will be calculated thus:
= [EBIT × (1 - Tax rate(] / WACC
= [25000 × (1 - 0.35)] / 10%
= [25000 × 0.65] / 0.10 = $162500
Since the firm's new WACC is 8.12%, then the new value of the firm will be:
= (25000 × 0.65) / 8.12%
= 200,123
Therefore, the total value of the firm is $200,123.
In conclusion, the firm should not issue the debt due to the fact that the risk of bankruptcy will eliminate the gains gotten from the issuance.

A movie studio sells the latest movie on DVD to VideosRUs at $10 per DVD. The studio's cost of production is $1 per DVD. VideosRUs prices the videos at $19.99 to its customers. The studio offers to buy back unsold DVDs for $5. The studio must pay $.50 disposal fee for all returned DVDs. How many videos should VideosRUs order if the current sales forecast for the DVD is that demand will be normal with a mean of 10,000 and a standard deviation of 5,000
We want to find the number of DVDs that maximizes expected profit. To do this, we need to calculate the expected profit for different quantities of DVDs and choose the one that gives the highest profit. By selling 7,000 DVDs get a maximum profit.
What is the profit maximization method?To ensure the best output and price levels are realized in order to maximize returns, business firms engage in the process of profit maximization. In order to achieve its profit objectives, the company modifies important variables including sale price, production costs, and output levels.
To determine how many videos VideosRUs should order, we need to calculate the expected profit for each DVD sold.
The profit per DVD for VideosRUs can be calculated as follows:
Revenue per DVD = $19.99
Cost per DVD = $10
Profit per DVD = Revenue per DVD - Cost per DVD = $19.99 - $10 = $9.99
The studio's profit per DVD can be calculated as follows:
Revenue per DVD = $10 (the amount they sold the DVD to VideosRUs for)
Cost per DVD = $1
Profit per DVD = Revenue per DVD - Cost per DVD = $10 - $1 = $9
To calculate the probability of selling, we need to use the normal distribution with a mean of 10,000 and a standard deviation of 5,000. Since we don't know the actual demand, we can use a probability distribution to estimate the likelihood of selling different quantities of DVDs.
The required calculation is shown in the file given attached below.
Thus, selling 7000 DVDs get the highest profit.

a. 4 years
b. 3.55 years
c. 2.00 years
d. 4.65 years
Answer:
b. 3.55 years
Explanation:
The payback period is basically the amount of time an investor needs to recover his/her initial investment.
lets assume initial investment = $1,000
when you calculate IRR, the present value of the cash flows = initial investment
the present value of an annuity for 4 years and 5% is 3.5460
$1,000 = yearly cash flow x 3.546
yearly cash flow = $1,000 / 3.546 = $282
payback period = $1,000 / 282 = 3.546 years ≈ 3.55 years
