Explanation:
We first remove the non.monetary concepts from the net income.
Then we adjust for the change in working capital which are the increase and decrease in the current assets and liabilities account
Increase in asset and decrease in liabilities represent cash outflow
while the opposite is true when an asset decrease(convert to cash) or a liability increase (delay of the payment)
Dividends Paid Calculation:
Beginning R/E 685 + 3,180 Income - Ending R/E 830 = 3,035
Sunset Corporation (a C corporation) had operating income of $200,000 and operating expenses of $175,000. In addition, Sunset had a $30,000 long-term capital gain, a $52,000 short-term capital loss, and $5,000 tax-exempt interest income. What is Sunset Corporation's taxable income for the year
Answer:
Sunset Corporation's taxable income is $3,000
Explanation:
Calculation of Sunset Corporation's taxable income is as worked below
Taxable Income = Operating Income - Operating Expenses + Capital Gains - Capital Losses
Taxable Income = $200,000 - $175,000 + $30,000 - $52,000
Taxable Income = $3,000. Hence, Sunset Corporation's taxable income is $3,000
Note that taxable income is the amount of income used to calculate how much tax an individual or a company owes or is going to pay the government in a particular tax year.
Marshall Grocery Delivery Service reports the following information: Rate per hour of direct labor is: Labor rate per hour $ 20 Rate per hour of direct labor $ 25.80 Materials markup 23 % Target profit margin 20 % The materials markup for a job that will use 100 labor hours and $2,000 of materials is:
Answer:
$460
Explanation:
The following information was reported from Marshall Grocery delivery service report
Labor rate per hour= $20
Rate per hour= $25.80
Materials markup= 23%
Target profit margin= 20%
The material markup for a job that will use 100 labor hours and $2,000 of materials is calculated as follows
Materials markup= Materials × percentage
= $2,000×23/100
= $2,000×0.23
= $460
Hence the materials markup is $460
The Melrose Corporation produces a single product, Product C. Melrose has the capacity to produce 90,000 units of Product C each year. If Melrose produces at capacity, the per unit costs to produce and sell one unit of Product C are as follows:
Direct materials $22.80
Direct labor $18.60
Variable manufacturing overhead $14.20
Fixed manufacturing overhead $16.00
Variable selling expense $12.80
Fixed selling expense $8.40
The regular selling price of one unit of Product C is $100.80. A special order has been received by Melrose from Moore Corporation to purchase 3,500 units of Product C during the upcoming year. If this special order is accepted, the variable selling expense will be reduced by 75%. Total fixed manufacturing overhead and fixed selling expenses would be unaffected except that Melrose will need to purchase a specialized machine to engrave the Moore name on each unit of product C in the special order. The machine will cost $6,300 and will have no use after the special order is filled. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.
Assume that Melrose expects to sell 68,000 units of Product C to regular customers next year. At what selling price for the 3,500 units would Melrose be economically indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order from Moore?
a. $59.10
b. $60.60
c. $81.10
d. $82.60
Answer:
Indifferent selling price =$67 per units
Explanation:
The selling at which Mel rose would be economically be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order from Moore is that that equates the relevant cost of making to the revenue from t
Relevant variable cost making
= 22.80 + 18.60 + 14.20 + (75%×12.80) = $65.2
$
Variable cost of special order (= $65.2 × 3,500)= 228,200
Cost of machine 6,300
Total relevant cost of special order 234,500
The price at which Melrose would be indifferent
= total relevant cost/ number of units
$234,500/3500 units
=$67 per units
Break-Even Sales Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $370, the unit variable cost is $300, and the total fixed costs are $1,001,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $410. a. Compute the current break-even sales (units). units b. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant. units
Answer:
a. 14,300 units
b. 9,100 units
Explanation:
a. For computation of current break-even sales (units) first we will find out the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:-
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost
= $370 - $300
= $70
Current break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $1,001,000 ÷ $70
= 14,300 units
b. For computation of anticipated break-even sales (units) first we will find out the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:-
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost
= $410 - $300
= $110
Anticipated break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $1,001,000 ÷ $110
= 9,100 units
So, we have applied the above formula.

Anson Jackson Court Company (AJC) The Anson Jackson Court Company (AJC) currently has $200,000 market value (and book value) of perpetual debt outstanding carrying a coupon rate of 6%. Its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are $100,000, and it is a zero growth company. AJC's current cost of equity is 8.8%, and its tax rate is 40%. The firm has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding selling at a price per share of $60.00. Refer to the data for the Anson Jackson Court Company (AJC). Now assume that AJC is considering changing from its original capital structure to a new capital structure with 50% debt and 50% equity. If it makes this change, its resulting market value would be $820,000. What would be its new stock price per share?
Answer:
The new stock price per share would be $62
Explanation:
In order to calculate the new stock price per share we would have to calculate first the value of the firm as follows:
value of the firm=value of equity+value of debt
value of the firm=(60*10,000)+$200,000
value of the firm=$800,000
If the company makes 50% debt and 50% equity, the market value will increase to $820,000 that is value of equity=$820,000-$200,000=$620,000
Therefore, new stock price per share will be=$620,000/10,000
new stock price per share=$62
You are looking to buy a car. You can afford $700 in monthly payments for five years. In addition to the loan, you can make a $800 down payment. If interest rates are 9.25 percent APR, what price of car can you afford (loan plus down payment)
Answer:
$34,333
Explanation:
A fix periodic payment for a specific period of time is an annuity payment. Price of the car can be determined by the sum of the present value of all payments and down payment made.
First we need o calculate the present value of annuity using following formula
Present value of annuity = P x [ 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n / r ]
P = periodic payment = $700
r = APR = 9.25 /12% = 0.77%
n = numbers of periods = 5 years x 12 months per year = 60 months
Placing values in the formula
Present value of annuity = $700 x [ 1 - ( 1 + 0.77% )^-60 / 0.77% ]
Present value of annuity = $33,532.88
Price of the car = Present value of annuity + Down Payment
Price of the car = $33,532.88 + $800 = $34,332.88
An advance payment of $1,000 for services was received on December 1 and was recorded as a liability. By the end of the year, $400 has been earned. What is the correct adjusting entry that should be include?
Answer:
The answer is "$400"
Explanation:
Given:
advance payment = $ 1,000
by the end of year he earned= $ 400
So, the total eared value is $ 400 because it is the Debit unearned income.
Answer:
Debit unearned revenues for $400
Explanation:
Adjusting entries are journal entries made to record revenues and expenses accounts. These entries are made at the end of an accounting cycle.
Payment received for services on December 1 that was recorded as a liability = $1,000
Amount earned by the end of the year = $400
Therefore,
adjusting entry: Debit unearned revenues for $400 so that expenses matched to the accounting period in which the revenue paying for them is earned.
Sheridan Company uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 485 units that cost $66 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 725 units at $69 each and 364 units at $71 each. Sheridan Company also sold 1198 units during the month. Using the average cost method, what is the amount of ending inventory? (Round average cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 21.48.)
Answer:
Value of closing inventory = $25771.04
Explanation:
To calculate the value of ending inventory under a periodic average cost method, we will calculate the average price per unit of inventory at the end of the month. To calculate the average price per unit, we simply divide the total cost of the inventory by the total number of units for the month.
Average cost per unit = Total cost of all units for the month / Total units available for the month
Total cost of all units:
Beginning inventory (485 * 66) 32010
Purchase 1 (725 * 69) 50025
Purchase 2 (364 * 71) 25844
Total 107879
Total Units
Beginning Inventory 485
Purchase 1 725
Purchase 2 364
Total 1574
Average cost per unit = 107879 / 1574
Average cost per unit = $68.54
Units of closing inventory = 1574 - 1198 = 376 units
Value of closing inventory = 376 * 68.54
Value of closing inventory = $25771.04

Bond A pays $8,000 in 20 years. Bond B pays $8,000 in 10 years. (To keep things simple, assume these are zero-coupon bonds, which means the $8,000 is the only payment the bondholder receives.)
Suppose the interest rate is 7 percent.
Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is approximately_______ , and the value of Bond B is approximately_______ .
Now suppose the interest rate increases to 14 percent.
Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is now approximately_________ , and the value of Bond B is approximately________ . Comparing each bond's value at 7 percent versus 14 percent, Bond A's value decreases by a_______ percentage than Bond B's value. The value of a bond__________ when the interest rate increases, and bonds with a longer time to maturity are _________sensitive to changes in the interest rate.
Answer:
To find the value of bond, let's use the formula:
Value of bond = price of bond / (1 + interest rate)ⁿ
Here n represents number of years.
At 7% interest rate:
Value of bond A = [tex]\frac{8000}{(1+0.07)^2^0} = 2067.35[/tex]
Value of bond B = [tex]\frac{8000}{(1+0.07)^1^0} = 4066.79[/tex]
At 14% interest rate:
Value of bond A = [tex] = \frac{8000}{(1+0.14)^20} = 582.09 [/tex]
Value of bond B = [tex] = \frac{8000}{(1+0.14)^10} = 2157.95 [/tex]
The difference between bond A at 7% and 14%:
$582.09 - $2067.35 = -$1485.26
The difference between bond B at 7% and 14%:
$2157.95 - $4066.79 = -$1908.84
% decrease between bond A and B:
[tex] \frac{1908.84 - 1485.26}{1908.84} * 100 = 22.19 [/tex]
Therefore, from the above calculations, we have the following:
Suppose the interest rate is 7%, Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is approximately $2067.35, and the value of Bond B is approximately $4066.79 .
Now suppose the interest rate increases to 14 percent.
Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is now approximately $528.09 , and the value of Bond B is approximately $2157.95 .
Comparing each bond's value at 7 percent versus 14 percent, Bond A's value decreases by a 22.19 percentage than Bond B's value.
The value of a bond decreases when the interest rate increases, and bonds with a longer time to maturity are more sensitive to changes in the interest rate.
Zombie Corp. has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.95, and ROE of 16.15 percent.
What is this firm's equity multiplier?
What is this firm's debt-equity ratio?
Answer:
This firm's equity multiplier is 1.6239
This firm's debt-equity ratio is 0.6239
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Profit Margin (PM) = 5.10%
That is, Net Profit/Sales = 5.10% = 0.051
Total Assets Turnover (TAT) = 1.95
That is, Sales/Total Assets = 1.95
Return on Equity (ROE) = 16.15%
That is, Net Profit/Total Equity = 16.15% = 0.1615
In order to calculate this firm's equity multiplier we would have to use the following formula:
Equity Multiplier (EM) = Total Assets / Total Equity
=(total assets/sales)*(sales/total equity)
=(total assets/sales)*(sales/net profit)*(net profit/total equity)
=(1/T AT)*(1/PM)*(ROE)
=(1/1.95)*(1/0.051)*(0.1615)
=1.6239
This firm's equity multiplier is 1.6239
In order to calculate this this firm's debt-equity ratio we would have to use the following formula:
Debt Equity Ratio = Debt/Equity
=(total assets- total equity)/(total equity)
=(total assets/total equity)-(total equity/total equity)
= equity multiplier-1
=1.6239-1
=0.6239
This firm's debt-equity ratio is 0.6239
Barry, a solvent individual but a recovering alcoholic, embezzled $6,000 from his employer. In the same year that he embezzled the funds, his employer discovered the theft. His employer did not fire him and told him he did not have to repay the $6,000 if he would attend Alcoholics Anonymous. Barry met the conditions and his employer canceled the debt.
A. Barry did not realize any income because his employer made a gift to him.
B. Barry must include $6,000 in gross income from discharge of indebtedness.
C. Barry must include $6,000 in gross income under the tax benefit rule.
D. Barry may exclude the $6,000 from gross income because the debt never existed.
E. None of these.
Answer: Barry must include $6,000 in gross income from discharge of indebtedness
Explanation:
Feom the question above, we are told that Barry embezzled $6,000 from his employer and that even though his employer discovered the theft, the employ did not fire him and told him that he did not have to repay the $6,000 if he attend Alcoholics Anonymous. Barry met the conditions and the employer canceled the debt.
In this case, Barry will have to include the $6,000 he stole in gross income from discharge of indebtedness. The gross income has to do with the sum of the wages, profits, salaries, rents, interest payments, and every other earnings, before the deductions of taxes or other deductions. Since Barry stole the money and.he.has been forgiven, the $6,000 has to be included in the gross income from discharge of indebtedness.
Laser World reports net income of $620,000. Depreciation expense is $47,000, accounts receivable increases $11,000, and accounts payable decreases $27,000. Calculate net cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. (List cash outflows and any decrease in cash as negative amounts.)
Answer:
$629,000
Explanation:
The net cash flow from operating activities is the net income plus depreciation, minus the increase in accounts receivable as well as the decrease in accounts payable.
Net income is $620,000
depreciaton expense $47,000
Increase in accounts receivable ($11,000)
decrease in accounts payable ($27,000)
Net cash flow from operations $629,000
The increase in accounts receivable denies the business of additional cash,hence it is deducted ,the same applies to increase in accounts payable

Hot and Cold has annual sales of $847,000, annual depreciation of $47,000, and net working capital of $43,000. The tax rate is 21 percent and the profit margin is 7.3 percent. The firm has no interest expense. What is the amount of the operating cash flow
Answer:
The amount of the operating cash flow is $108,831
Explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating the amount of the operating cash flow.
Firstly, we calculate the net income.
Mathematically, net income = Sales × % profit margin
From the question, sales = $847,000
% profit margin = 7.3% = 7.3/100 = 0.073
Net income = $847,000 × 0.073 = $61,831
Finally, Operating cash flow = Net income + Depreciation
From the question, depreciation = $47,000
Plugging this alongside the net income,
Operating cash flow = $61,831 + $47,000 = $108,831
If he goes to college, he will spend $22,000 on tuition, $11,000 on room and board, and $1,700 on books. If he does not go to college, he will earn $12,000 working in a store and spend $6,000 on room and board. Taio's cost of going to college is
Answer:
$40,700
Explanation:
To determine Taio's cost of going to college you need to find the economic cost that involves all the costs that you need to cover to receive a benefit and the opportunity costs that refer to what you would have received if you had chosen a different alternative. According to this, Taio's cost is equal to all the acounting costs related to going to college plus the opportunity costs that are the benefits lost from the other option which was not going to college.
Accounting costs= $22,000+$11,000+$1,700= $34,700
Opportunity costs= $12,000-$6,000= $6,000
Taio's cost of going to college is equal to the acount costs plus the opportunity costs:
$34,700+$6,000= $40,700
lyssa and Crystal are roommates. They spend most of their time studying (of course), but they leave some time for their favorite activities: making pizza and brewing root beer. Alyssa takes 3 hours to brew a gallon of root beer and 2 hours to make a pizza. Crystal takes 7 hours to brew a gallon of root beer and 5 hours to make a pizza. Alyssa's opportunity cost of brewing a gallon of root beer is__________ , and Crystal's opportunity cost of brewing a gallon of root beer is__________ , has an absolute advantage in brewing root beer, and has a comparative advantage in brewing root beer. If Alyssa and Crystal trade foods with each other, will trade away pizza in exchange for root beer. The price of pizza can be expressed in terms of gallons of root beer. The highest price at which pizza can be traded that would make both roommates better off is of root beer, and the lowest price that makes both roommates better off is of root beer per pizza.
Answer:
a. 1.5 pizza
b. 1.39 pizza
c. Alyssa has an absolute advantage in brewing beer
d. Crystal has a comparative advantage in brewing beer
e. Crystal will easily trade away pizza for root beer
f. there's no limit to the highest price
g. lowest price is 0.719 beer root/pizza
Explanation:
Alyssa takes 3 hrs to brew a gallon of root beers and 2 hrs to make a pizza
Crystal takes 7 hrs to brew a gallon of root beer and 5 hrs to make a pizza
Alyssa make 1 gallon/3 hrs = 0.33 gallons/hr of beer, and the same way makes 0.5 pizza/hr
Crystal makes 0.143 gallon/hr of beer, and 0.2 pizza/hr
for Alyssa, 0.33 gallons/hr = 0.5 pizza/hr, therefore
1 gallon of beer = 0.5/0.33 = 1.51 pizza
for crystal, 1 gallon of beer = 0.2/0.143 = 1.39 pizza
price of pizza:
Alyssa = 0.662 root beer/pizza
Crystal = 0.719 root beer/pizza
There are many perfumes on the market, but Demeter, a superior brand of perfume, has memorable scents that leads to emotional ties. Which element of the marketing plan is being considered when the marketing manager decided initially to market the perfume in a limited number of very exclusive specialty stores?
Answer:
Place
Explanation:
The four P's of marketing is a number of tactics employed in a marketing plan to achieve better sales of a product. These four P's include; Price, Place, Promotion, and Product. The place factor takes note of the location where the target customers are most likely to be reached. To achieve better sales of a product, it is very important that the right location is chosen so that consumers who are interested in it can access it easily. For example, it would make no sense to sell grocery products in a boutique. That is not where the target customers are.
So, when the marketing manager of Demeter Perfumes decided to market the perfume in a limited number of very exclusive specialty stores, it is because that place is where the target market (most likely, high income earners), can be found easily.
Annual production and sales level of Product A is 34,300 units, and the annual production and sales level of Product B is 69,550 units. What is the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing?
Answer:
$3.00
Explanation:
Calaculation of the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing:
The first step is to calculate for the Activity 1 allocated to Product A line which is :
$87,000 × 3,000/5,800
=$261,000,000/5,800
=$45,000
The second step is to calaculate for Activity 2 allocated to Product A line which is :
$62,000 × 4,500/10,000
$279,000,000/10,000
=$27,900
The third step is to calculate for Activity 3 allocated to Product A line which is :
$93,000 × 2,500/7,750
=$232,500,000/7,750
=$30,000
The total overhead allocated to Product A
$45,000+$30,000+$27,900
= $102,900
Overhead per unit of Product A: $102,900/Annual production of 34,300 units
= $3.00
Therefore the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing will be $3.00
Suppose the U.S. government cuts back on government spending and increases taxes in an effort to reduce the budget deficit. What would be the effect of these changes on the U.S. balance of payments?
a. There would be no change because the balance of payments always equals zero.
b. There would be an increase in the current account and an increase in the capital account.
c. There would be a decrease in the current account and a decrease in the capital account.
d. There would be a decrease in the current account and an increase in the capital account.
d. There would be an increase in the current account and a decrease in the capital account.
Answer:
d. There would be a decrease in the current account and an increase in the capital account.
Explanation:
The balance of payment in accounting typically comprises of capital account and current account, it is used for the recording of business transactions between two countries. Capital accounts are used to record any trade between two countries relating to financial assets and liabilities.
The current account is used to record trades relating to import and export of goods and services in a country.
Hence, if the U.S. government cuts back on government spending and increases taxes in an effort to reduce the budget deficit. The effect of these changes on the U.S. balance of payments is that there would be a decrease in the current account because it has no effect on the value of assets and liabilities, thereby affecting the export and import of goods and services.
Also, there would be an increase in the capital account due to the fact that the government tends to borrow more and seeks foreign investors.

b) The profitability ratios are computed as follows:
1. Profit Margin = (Net Income/Net Sales x 100)
= $32,900/$884,000 x 100
= 3.72%
2. Gross Profit rate = Gross Profit/Net Sales x 100)
= $269,700/$884,000 x 100
= 30.51%
c. If the net sales increases by 15%, the Net sales = $1,016,600 ($884,000 x 1.15)
If Gross profit increases by $40,443, the Gross profit = $310,143 ($269,700 + $40,443)
If Expenses increase by $58,600, the total operating Expenses = $282,400 ($223,800 + $58,600)
Revised Net Income:
Gross Profit $310,143
Total operating expenses (282,400)
Income from operations $27,743

Other expenses:
Interest Expense ($5,000)
Income before Income Taxes $24,743
Income Tax Expense ($10,000)
Net Income After Taxes $14,743
b) The profitability ratios are computed as follows:
1. Profit Margin = (Net Income/Net Sales x 100)
= $14,743/$1,016,600 x 100
= 1.45%
2. Gross Profit rate = Gross Profit/Net Sales x 100)
= $310,143/$1,016,600 x 100
= 30.51%
d. With the proposed changes, the gross profit rate remains the same (without any impact) because the net sales increased by the same rate (15%) as the cost of goods sold and the gross profit.
However, the net income reduced drastically, especially with the income tax remaining the same amount.
Thus, without the income tax effect, there is no merit in this proposal as it reduced the net income margin from 3.72% to 1.45%.

pmt is the amount of money received per year which is $50,000
fv is the total future worth of the prize (1) which is unknown
=-pv(6%,20,50000,0)
=$573,496.06
The difference between present value of prize(1) $573,496.06 and $500,000 receivable from prize (2) today is $73,496.06
The difference is today's worth, its future worth can be computed thus:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
PV is $73,496.06
r is 6%
n is 20 years
FV=$73,496.06*(1+6%)^20 =$ 235,711.82
The amount that prize (2) needs to pay after 20 years so that both prizes bear the same present value is closer to Option B. $440,463.
Data and Calculations:
N (# of periods) = 20 years
I/Y (Interest per year) = 6%
PMT (Periodic Payment) = $50,000
FV (Future Value) = $0
Results:
Present Value (PV) = $573,496.06
Sum of all periodic payments = $1,000,000.00
Total Interest = $426,503.94
Thus, the amount that prize (2) needs to pay after 20 years so that both prizes bear the same present value is closer to Option B.

Jackson has the choice to invest in city of Mitchell bonds or Sundial, Inc. corporate bonds that pay 5.6 percent interest. Jackson is a single taxpayer who earns $47,500 annually. Assume that the city of Mitchell bonds and the Sundial, Inc. bonds have similar risk. What interest rate would the city of Mitchell have to pay in order to make Jackson indifferent between investing in the city of Mitchell and the Sundial, Inc. bonds for 2019
Answer: 4.37%
Explanation:
As interest is tax deductible, the Sundial Interest needs to be adjusted for tax to find out the true return.
Jackson as a single tax payer earning $47,500 in 2019 has a tax rate of 22% according to the IRS Tax bracket for that year.
That means that the interest that true interest that Sundial is offering him is,
= 5.6 * ( 1 - tax rate)
= 5.6 * ( 1 - 0.22)
= 5.6 * 0.78
= 0.04368
= 4.37%
To make Jackson indifferent with the same amount of risk, the city of Mitchell would have to offer him the same interest that Sundial is offering net of tax which is 4.37%.

The standard deviation from investing in the asset is: (Round to the nearest hundredth percent. Answer in the percent format. Do not include % sign in your answer (i.e. If your answer is 4.33%, type 4.33 without a % sign at the end.))
Answer:
standard deviation from investing in the asset is: 2.76
Explanation:
From the information given above; the main task to do is to calculate for the standard deviation from investing in the asset ,but in order to do that; we must first determine the expected return value and the variance.
The expected return can either be the profit or loss the investor predict to get after investing on an instrument. It can be determined by multiplying the potential outcomes by the chances of them occurring and then totaling these results.
Here;
the potential outcome = Probability of the States
chances of them occurring = Percentage Returns
∴
Expected return = (0.25 × 5%) + (0.55 × 10%) + (0.20 × 13%)
Expected return = (1.25 + 5.5 + 2.6)%
Expected return = 9.35%
Variance = 0.25 × (5% - 9.35%)² + 0.55 × (10% - 9.35%)² + 0.20 × (13% - 9.35%)²
Variance = 0.25 ( -4.35%)² + 0.55 (0.3575%)² + 0.20 (3.65%)²
Variance = 0.0473 + 0.0023 + 0.0266
Variance = 0.0763
Finally; the standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{variance}[/tex]
standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt {0.0763[/tex]
standard deviation = 0.276
To the nearest hundredth percent and by answering in the percent format without including the % sign ; we have
standard deviation = 2.76
On day 51 a project has an earned value of $600, an actual cost of $650, and a planned cost of $560. Compute the SV, CV, and CPI for the project. What is your assessment of the project on day 51
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Schedule variance (SV)
= Earned value - planned cost
= $600 - $560
= $40
b. Cost variance (CV)
= Earned value - actual cost
= $600 - $650
= -$50
c. Consumer price index (CPI)
= Earned value ÷ actual cost
= $600 ÷ 650
= 0.92
As we can see from the above calculation, the project showed negative CV i.e overbudgeted but at the same time, it also showed Positive SV i.e the project is on schedule.
And, the CPI determines that the completing cost is more than the planned cost that reflects the bad condition
