Answer:
Fixed manufacturing cost allocated to inventory= $9,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units in beginning inventory 0
Units produced 280
Units sold 240
Units in ending inventory 40
Fixed manufacturing overhead $63,000
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable.
First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed manufacturing cost:
unitary fixed manufacturing cost= 63,000/280= $225
Fixed manufacturing cost allocated to inventory= 40*225=$9,000

What strategy option for entering a foreign market might you employ if your firm is technology-centric? 3. What strategy option for entering a foreign market might you use if you were a start-up or smaller firm? 4. Why is the Think Global- Act Local strategy appear to be the best for many companies wishing to go global?
Answer:
1a. For manufacturing company– Buying a local manufacturing company
b. For a financial services company– Partnership
c. A company like Coke or Pepsi– Greenfield Investments
Explanation:
1a. Buying a local company saves valuable resources for the foreign manufacturing, and it allows for quick market knowledge since this company has already been in operations for a long time.
b. A partnership would be best for a financial services company, this would involve a smooth transition into new markets without having to spend much on physical structures as the domestic company is already having necessary infrastructures in place.
c. Coke and Pepsi would preferably choose to use the Greenfield investment strategy by building a new plant from the ground up because of its established quality standards as well as trade mark and intellectual property protection.
2. A technology-centric firm would benefit most by buying a Company because of the already available market share as well as benefiting from reduced government regulations.
3. If one is operating a start-up or smaller firm of course cost would be a major consideration, therefore selling out License to foreign companies may be effective. This would transfer the rights to use a product or service in a different market geography.
4. It provides a good foresight into the requirements needed to enter foreign markets.

Bob Clarke Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system: Activities Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity Assembly $1,005,040 68,000 machine-hours Processing orders $102,500 2,000 orders Inspection $139,840 1,900 inspection-hours The company makes 450 hockey sticks a year, requiring a total of 710 machine-hours, 42 orders, and 12 inspection-hours per year. The product's direct materials cost is $36.42 per hockey stick and its direct labor cost is $30.16 per hockey stick. Required: 1. Calculate the unit product cost of one hockey stick according to the activity-based costing system (Round your final answer to two decimal places).
Answer:
Total Unit Cost= $ 96.65
Explanation:
Bob Clarke Corporation
Activities Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity
Assembly $1,005,040 68,000 machine-hours
Processing orders $102,500 2,000 orders
Inspection $139,840 1,900 inspection-hours
First we find the overhead rates using ABC costing method.
Overhead Rates= Estimated Overhead Cost/ Expected Activity
Assembly Rate= $1,005,040 /68,000 = $ 14.78 per machine-hours
Processing rate= $102,500 / 2,000= $ 51.25 per orders
Inspection Rate= $139,840/ 1,900= $ 73.6 per inspection-hours
Then we find the overhead costs applying the ABC Costing rates
Overhead Costs Of 450 Hockey
Assembly= 710 machine-hours, * $ 14.78= $10493.8
Processing=42 orders, *$ 51.25= $ 2152.5
Inspection= 12 inspection-hours*$ 73.6 = $ 883.2
Total Overhead Costs of 450 Hockey = $ 13529.5
Overhead Cost of One Hockey= 13529.5/450= 30.065= $ 30.07
Then the:
Product Cost
Direct materials cost is $36.42 per hockey stick
Direct labor cost is $30.16 per hockey stick
Overhead Costs is $ 30.07
Total Unit Cost= $ 96.65
Assume Time Warner shares have a market capitalization of $40 billion. The company is expected to pay a dividend of $0.25 per share and each share trades for $40. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be 7% per year. Also, Time Warner has $20 billion of debt that trades with a yield to maturity of 9%. If the firm's tax rate is 40%, what is the WACC
Answer:
6.88%
Explanation:
cost of equity = (next period dividend / by price) + growth rate in dividends.
cost of debt = yield to maturity x (1 - tax rate)
WACC = weight of debt x cost of debt + weight of equity x cost of equity.
cost of equity = ($0.25 / $40) + 0.07
= 0.07625
cost of debt = 0.09 x (1 - 0.4)
=0.054
WACC = ($40Billion x 0.07625) / 60billion + ($20 billion x 0.054) / $60billion
= 0.05083 + 0.018
= 0.0688 or 6.88%

The law of diminishing marginal productivity states that:________.
a. As you expand output, your marginal productivity eventually increases
b. As you expand output, your marginal productivity eventually declines
c. As you expand output, the total product eventually increases
d. None of the above
2. What are economies of scale?
a. decreasing average costs as production increases
b. increasing average costs as production increases
c. increasing fixed costs as production increases
d. none of the above
3. What are economies of scope?
a. lower average costs when multiple different products are produced
b. higher average costs when multiple different products are produced
c. Constant average costs when multiple different products are produced
d. none of the above
Answer:
b. As you expand output, your marginal productivity eventually declines
a. decreasing average costs as production increases
a. lower average costs when multiple different products are produced
Explanation:
The law of diminishing marginal returns states that as more unit of variable factors of production are added to production, output would increase at first but after a period, it would increase at a negative rate.
Economies of scale is the reduction in cost thay accrue to firms as they increase production. For example, a supplier might give a firm a discount for buying in bulk.
Economies of scope states that average cost would fall as the production of similar products increases. For example, a fashion designer who makes women's clothings decides to make scarfs with the scraps of clothes left.

Suppose the U.S. imports cars from the UK manufacturer, McLaren. Consider an appreciation of the pound. Which of the following statements correctly describe the effects of thischange?
A. Hold all other prices constant.
B. U.S. consumers pay more dollars for each McLaren car they import from the UK.
C. McLaren supplies a greater quantity of dollars to the foreign exchange market.
D. U.S. consumers increase their purchases of McLaren cars.
E. McLaren's dollar revenues fall.
To peg the pounds per dollar exchange rate at a level higher than the market clearing exchange rate, the UK government needs to:_________.
a. buy pounds and sell dollars
b. buy dollars and sell pounds
c. simple announce a target exchange rate
Answer:
b. and a
Explanation:
Answer:
b. and
Explanation:
Remember, when foreign exchange rates between two currencies of particular country rises (appreciates), it effects is experienced most by the country whose currency hasn't risen. In this case therefore, this would make U.S. consumers pay more dollars for each McLaren car they import from the UK.
Also, to peg the pounds per dollar exchange rate at a level higher than the market clearing exchange rate, the UK government needs to buy pounds and sell dollars, because reducing the supply of pounds in the exchange market creates an opportunity for higher exchange prices.
Assume that HotLap, Inc., a manufacturer of laptop computers, is considering a merger with SassyChips, a leading producer of computer chips. HotLap believes such a merger would benefit their business by giving them a guaranteed steady supply of the chips they need to make their laptops, and more control over the way those chips are designed. If this merger occurs, it would be an example of:____________.
1. contract manufacturing.
2. a vertical merger.
3. a conglomerate merger.
4. a franchise arrangement.
5. a horizontal merger.
6. a leveraged buyout.
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
In simple words, vertical merger refers to the joining of the two separate entities that provide value to different level of supply chains. Such mergers are implemented by the entities to take advantage of realized synergies.
These mergers provide many benefits such as reduced cost or steady supply but the acquiring entity gets the burden to operate a separate entity and manage it.
Sammy's Shovels had sales of $ 90,880 in 2010. The cost of goods sold was $ 34,863 , operating expenses (excluding depreciation) were $ 11,490 , interest expenses were $ 1,317 , depreciation expense was $ 7,961 , and dividends paid were $ 3,415 . The firm's tax rate is 27 percent. What did Sammy's Shovels report as net income (or, net profit) in 2010
Answer: $25731.77
Explanation:
The attached picture explains the way to solve the question. It would be noted that the expenses like the operating, depreciation, interest expense and the cost of good sold were all subtracted from the sales revenue.
Then the income before tax was $35249. Then the tax expense of 27% was deducted.
Income Tax expense = 27% of $35249 = $9517.23
Net profit = $35249 - $9517.23 = $25731.77
The net profit for Sammy Shovels is $25731.77.
A building is acquired on January 1, at a cost of $960,000 with an estimated useful life of 10 years and salvage value of $86,400. Compute depreciation expense for the first three years using the double-declining-balance method. (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Year 1 - $192,000
Year 2 - = $153,600
Year 3 - $122,880
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 x (1/10) = 0.2
Depreciation expense in the first year = 0.2 x $960,000 = $192,000
Book value at the beginning of year 2 = $960,000 - $192,000 = $768,000
Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.2 x $768,000 = $153,600
Book value in year 3 = $768,000 - $153,600 = $614,400
Depreciation expense in year 3 = 0.2 x $614,400 = $122,880

Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr. Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr. Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr. Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr. Hayford die. Mr. Hayford would like to insure Mr. Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
Question:
Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die. Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
(a) What is the extent of insurable interest in each case?
(b) Consider any necessary action if the loan was later repaid earlier than anticipated what happens to the policy?
Answer:
To answer the question (a), one must first understand the concept of Insurable Interest.
A policyholder is said to have an insurable interest in a subject matter whenever the subject matter of a contract provides some financial gain to them and would lead to a financial loss if damaged, destroyed, stolen or lost.
For example, if I purchase a car for my use for $10,000, theft of or damage to that car will translate to financial loss to me. Therefore, I have an insurance interest in the car. This qualified me to Insure the car against loss arising from any form of insurable damage, or theft.
In question (a) there are two cases.
Case I - Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die.
Mr Isaac, in this case, has full insurable interest on Mr Hayfords life. If Mr Hayford dies, Mr Isaac will be put in a financial loss to the tune of Gh₵20000.
Case II - Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
Mr Hayford does an insurable interest on Mr Isaac's life. This insurable interest arises due to the possibility (as given in the question) that Isaacs family have the power to request for the loan earlier than it ought to have been paid.
The insurable interest arises because paying back the loan earlier than anticipated, may put Mr Hayford in financial distress and may lead to financial and economic loss. If the loan is meant for the running of his business, the business may fold up, and he may forfeit all the assets of the business.
In a real-life scenario, this can all be prevented by ensuring that the terms of the loan are documented in a contract which must be ratified by both parties. In this contract, clauses preventing the lender from cutting short the tenure of the loan can be inserted. This is less expensive and easier to administer.
(b) In each of the cases above, if the loan is paid back earlier than anticipated:
i. Under duress from the family: The provision of the policy protecting the interest of Mr. Hayford kicks in and makes good the loss to mitigate it and terminates afterwards.
ii. By volition by Mr Hayford: The policy terminates immediately as the insurable interest he has on Mr Isaac's life becomes extinct.

Brett has almond orchards, but he is sick of almonds and prefers to eat walnuts instead. The owner of the walnut orchard next door has offered to swap this year's crop with him. Assume he produces 1,000 tons of almonds and his neighbor produces 800 tons of walnuts. If the market price of almonds is $100 per ton and the market price of walnuts is $110 per ton.
A. Should he make the exchange? The market value of the almond crop is _____.
B. Does it matter whether he prefers almonds or walnuts? Why or why not?
Answer:
(A) The almond market value is = 100,000 and the walnuts market value is 88,800. (B) His preferences are secondary, the most important choice is the market value of the profit and crop
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The first step to take is to find the almond crop market value which is stated as follows:
(A) The market value of almond is = 1000 * 100 = 100,000
Thus,
The walnuts market value is = 800* 111 = 88,800
he should not make the exchange because, the almond has more value
(B)His choice is not really important, the market value of the profit and crop should be of more importance.

At the end of the year, Ilberg Company provided the following actual information:
Overhead $423,600
Direct labor cost 532,000
Ilberg uses normal costing and applies overhead at the rate of 80% of direct labor cost. At the end of the year, Cost of Goods Sold (before adjusting for any overhead variance) was $1,890,000.
Required:
a. Dispose of the overhead variance by adjusting Cost of Goods Sold.
b. Calculate the overhead variance for the year.
Answer:
Adjusted cost of goods sold =$ 1,888,000
Overhead variance = 2,000 favorable
Explanation:
Overhead variance:
is the difference between the absorbed overhead and the actual overhead.
Absorbed overhead = OAR × direct labor cost
= 80% × 532,000 = $425,600
Over absorbed overhead = absorbed overhead - Actual overhead
= 425,600 - 423,600 = 2,000 over-absorbed
Overhead variance = 2,000 favorable
Adjusted cost of goods sold
= cost of goods sold - over absorbed overheads
= 1,890,000 - 2,000 =$ 1,888,000

You are considering buying common stock in Grow On, Inc. The firm yesterday paid a dividend of $7.80. You have projected that dividends will grow at a rate of 9.0% per year indefinitely. If you want an annual return of 24.0%, what is the most you should pay for the stock now
Answer:
The answer is $56.68
Explanation:
Solution
We recall that:
The firm paid a dividend of =$7.80
The projected growth of dividends is at a rate = 9.0%
The annual return = 24.0%
Now,
V = ($7.80 * (1.09)/(.24 - 0.9)
= (8.502)/(.24-0.9)
= (8.502) * (-0.66)
= $56.68
Therefore, this would be the most we would pay for the stock. If we paid less than that, our return would be above the 24%.
A person has a poor credit score due mainly to the amount of debt on credit card and instalment loans. How could the person improve his score.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
The credit score is a number used by lenders to help them decide the likelihood of an individual to repay on time if the person is granted a credit card or a loan. The higher the scores, the likelihood that the person qualifies for credit cards and loans.
A person that has a poor credit score due to the amount of debt on credit card and instalment loans can improve his or her score by paying off the debt. When an individual pays of his or her debt, the person will have an improved credit score which can be used to apply for further loans.
Furthermore, such individual can also keep his or her balances low on the credit cards. A credit card with high debts doesn't represent the individual well when applying for a loan which will lead to a negative credit score.
Shares in Brothers Grimm, Inc., manufacturers of gingerbread houses, are expected to pay a dividend of $5.00 in one year and to sell for $100 per share at that time. How much should you be willing to pay today per share of Grimm under the following circumstances?
A) If the safe rate of interest is 5 percent and you believe that investing in Grimm carries no risk?
B) If the safe rate of interest is 10 percent and you believe that investing in Grimm carries no risk?C) If the safe rate of interest is 5 percent, but your risk premium is 3 percent?
D) Repeat parts a to c, assuming that Grimm is not expected to pay a dividend, but the expected price is unchanged..
Answer:
(a) $100.00
(b) $95.45
(c) $97.22
(di) $95.24
(dii) $90.91
(diii) $92.59
Explanation:
Brothers Grimm corporation is responsible for the manufacturing of gingerbread houses. During a one year period, they are expected to pay a dividend of $5 and to sell each shares for $100. The share value for different safe interests is calculated as follows
a) If the safe interest is 5%, then the share value for today is
= ( 5+100)/( 1+5/100)
= 105/ ( 1+0.05)
= 105/1.05
= $100.00
b) If the safe interest is 10%, the share value for today would be
= (5+100)/(1+10/100)
= 105/( 1+0.1)
= 105/1.1
= 95.454
= $95.45( to 2 decimal places)
c) If the safe interest is 5% and the risk premium is 3%, then the share value for today is
= (5+100)/(1+(5+3)/100)
= 105/( 1+8/100)
= 105/(1+0.08)
= 105/1.08
= $97.222
= $97.22 (to 2 decimal places)
d) Since Grimm is not expected to pay dividend, the share values for each safe interest can be calculated as follows:
i) If the safe interest is 5% and there is no payment of dividend, then the share value for today is
= 100/( 1+5/100)
= 100/( 1+0.05)
= 100/1.05
= $95.238
= $95.24 ( to 2 decimal places)
ii) If the safe interest is 10% and there is no payment of dividend, then the share value for today is
= 100/( 1+10/100)
= 100/( 1+ 0.1)
= 100/1.1
= $90.909
= $90.91 ( to 2 decimal places)
iii) If the safe interest is 5% and the risk premium is 3% with no payment of dividend, the share value for today is calculated as
= 100/(1+8/100)
= 100/(1+0.08)
= 100/1.08
= $92.592
= $92.59 ( to 2 decimal places)
Share valuation is done based on quantitative techniques and the value of a share will vary depending on market demand and supply.
What do you mean by share value?Valuation of shares is a process of knowing the value of a company's shares. The stock price of listed companies trading publicly can be easily identified.
The share value for different safe interests is calculated as follows
a) If the safe interest is 5%, then the share value for today is
[tex]=\frac{ ( 5+100)}{1+\frac{5}{100}}\\\\= \dfrac{105}{( 1+0.05)} \\\\=\dfrac{105}{1.05}\\\\= \$100.00[/tex]
b) If the safe interest is 10%, the share value for today would be:
[tex]=\frac{ ( 5+100)}{1+\frac{10}{100}}\\\\= \dfrac{105}{( 1+0.1)} \\\\=\dfrac{105}{1.1}\\\\= \$95.454[/tex]
c) If the safe interest is 5% and the risk premium is 3%, then the share value for today is
[tex]=\frac{ ( 5+100)}{1+\frac{(5+8)}{100}}\\\\= \dfrac{105}{( 1+0.08)} \\\\=\dfrac{105}{1.08}\\\\= \$97.222\\[/tex]
d) Since Grimm is not expected to pay a dividend, the share values for each safe interest can be calculated as follows:
i) If the safe interest is 5% and there is no payment of dividend, then the share value for today is $95.238.
ii) If the safe interest is 10% and there is no payment of dividend, then the share value for today is $90.91 ( to 2 decimal places)
iii) If the safe interest is 5% and the risk premium is 3% with no payment of dividend, the share value for today is calculated to be $92.59 ( to 2 decimal places).
Thus, the value of each share under the specified rate of dividend and risk premium is calculated.

At the current year-end, Simply Company found that its overhead was underapplied by $2,500, and this amount was not considered material. Based on this information, Simply should: Multiple Choice Close the $2,500 to Cost of Goods Sold. Close the $2,500 to Finished Goods Inventory. Do nothing about the $2,500, since it is not material, and it is likely that overhead will be overapplied by the same amount next year. Carry the $2,500 to the income statement as "Other Expense". Carry the $2,500 to the next period.
Answer:
Close the $2,500 to Cost of Goods Sold
Explanation:
The under applied overhead is added to the Cost of Goods Sold amount.
The same amount would be debited to the cost of goods sold and the manufacturing overhead would be credited with the same amount that is $ 2500.
Under applied overhead means that the overhead actually incurred is more than the overhead planned of to be incurred. So we add back the amount by which it is less.

Which type of investment offers both capital gains and interest income
Answer:
Stocks is the type of investments that offers both capital gains and interest income.
Question:
Compare the capital gains from investing in the three stocks with the interest income on a one-year CD. Which would have been a more profitable investment—the stocks or a one-year CD? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
The one-year CD rate during the past year ranged from 1 percent to 1.3 percent. This rate of return is much lower than the returns on the J C Penney and Apple stocks. Therefore, these two stocks would have been better investment options than a one-year CD. However, the CD would be a better investment than the Ford Motor Company stock, which gave a negative return over the past year.

1. Earnings per share = net income / average shares outstanding = $193,900 / 13,000 stocks = $14.92
2. Dividend payout ratio = total dividends / net income = ($2.55 x 13,000) / $193,900 = $33,150 / $193,900 = 17.1%
3. Dividend yield ratio = dividend per share / market price per share = $2.55 / $70 = 3.6%
4. Price-earnings ratio = price per share / earnings per share = $70 / $14.92 = 4.7
5. Book value per share = (stockholders' equity - preferred stocks) / total number of stocks outstanding = $871,000 / 13,000 = $67

Explanation:
The steps in the accounting cycle are:
a) Analyzing each transaction from source documents, e.g. from Sales Invoice. This shows the accounts affected and even the effect of the transaction on the accounting equation.
b) Journal Entries: This involves using the doubt entry system of accounting to record transactions in the general journal. This is the first accounting record. It shows the accounts to be debited and the ones to be credited in the General Ledger.
c) General Ledger: Each transaction is posted to their respective accounts in the ledger, depending on journal entries. Usually, two accounts are affected by each transaction, just like in the journal.
d) The fourth step is the extraction of a Trial Balance. This is an accounting tool for checking that the first three steps have been completely and correctly followed.
Suppose Binder corporatio's common stock has a return of 17.61 percent. The risk-free rate is 3.68 percent, the market return is 12.4 percent and there is no unsystematic risk affecting Binder's return. Given the one-factor arbitrage pricing model, what is the factor beta
Answer:
1.597
Explanation:
The computation of the factor beta using the one-factor arbitrage pricing model is shown below:
As we know that
= (Expected rate of return - risk-free rate of return) ÷ (market rate of return-risk-free rate of return)
= (17.61% - 3.68%) ÷ (12.4% - 3.68%)
= 1.597
We simply applied the above formula to determine the factor beta and the same is to be considered
Managers involved in negotiation should:__________.
1. Search for the absolute best answer.
2. Exercise premature judgment.
3. Realize that solving the other party's problem is actually the other party's problem.
4. Verify whether there is only a fixed set of alternatives.
Which of the following phenomena would be most likely to occur if the project team did not have clear and commonly understood project goals?
1. The level of trust among team members would increase.
2. The motivation level of team members would increase.
3. The interdependency among team members would increase.
4. Conflict among team members would increase.
Answer:
For question (1): 4. Verify whether there is only a fixed set of alternatives.
For question (2): 4. Conflict among team members would increase.
Explanation:
Managers involved in negotiation should always verify whether there is only a fixed set of alternatives.
It is ideal that when managers are making a negotiation and by extension decision-making, they should ensure there are one or more alternative options. A fixed set of alternatives would only mean they're absolutely liable to the other party, without any reasonable benefits to their organization in the event of a crisis with the deal.
Conflict among team members would increase if the project team did not have clear and commonly understood project goals.
As a rule and standard, it is necessary to ensure that team members share common understanding, aims, ideas and vision in order to achieve their project goals and objectives.
When team members are in sync, they're bound to collaborate and use collective intelligence to attain success.
Hence, to increase the level of trust, motivation level, and interdependency among team members, project managers should ensure they've clear and commonly understood project goals.
