The Technology department at Watkins Transit has a budgeted annual cost of $65,000. The department has a capacity to handle 250 work stations per year. Currently, purchasing, shipping, and administrative departments have 20, 45, and 135 work stations, respectively. If practical capacity is used to allocate costs, how much cost is allocated to shipping
Answer: $14,625
Explanation:
Based on the information given, if practical capacity is used to allocate cost, the cost that is allocated to shipping will be:
= Budgeted annual cost/200 × Number of shipping work stations
= 65000/200 × 45
= $14,625
Cost Allocation is the process of allocating an item of cost to an item of cost, which is directly followed. The cost that is allocated to shipping will be $14,625.
What is called costs allocation?
Cost Allocation is the process of identifying, accumulating, and allocating costs to expense items such as departments, products, systems, and many others.
Based on the information given, if practical capacity is used to allocate cost, the cost that is allocated to shipping will be:
[tex]\rm\, Cost \;that \;is \; allocated \; to \;shipping = \rm\, \frac{ \;Budgeted \; Annual \;Cost}{200} \times \;Number \;of \; shipping \;work \;stations\\\\= \dfrac{65000}{200} \times 45\\\\= \$14,625[/tex]
Hence, the cost that is allocated to shipping is $14,625.

Bridgeport Company is constructing a building. Construction began on February 1 and was completed on December 31. Expenditures were $1,836,000 on March 1, $1,236,000 on June 1, and $3,038,370 on December 31. Bridgeport Company borrowed $1,112,250 on March 1 on a 5-year, 12% note to help finance construction of the building. In addition, the company had outstanding all year a 9%, 5-year, $2,342,100 note payable and an 10%, 4-year, $3,467,800 note payable. Compute the weighted-average interest rate used for interest capitalization purposes.
Answer:
9.6%
Explanation:
According to the problem, calculation are as follows,
Company borrowed on March 1 = $1,112,250
First we calculate total expenditures in constructing a building.
Total Expense = ($1,836,000 × 10÷12)+ ($1,236,000 × 7÷12)+ ($3,038,370 × 0÷12)
= $1,530,000 + $721,000 + 0
= $2,251,000
So, Difference in both amount = $2,251,000 - $1,112,250 = $1,138,750
We can calculate the weighted average interest rate by using following formula,
Weighted average interest rate = Interest ÷ outstanding principal
Where, Outstanding principal = $2,342,100 + $3,467,800 = $5,809,900
Interest = $2,342,100 × 9% + $3,467,800 × 10%
= $210,789 + $346,780 = $557,569
So, by putting the value in formula, we get,
Weighted average interest rate = $557,569 ÷ $5,809,900
= 0.096 or 9.6%
Garcia Co. sells snowboards. Each snowboard requires direct materials of $113, direct labor of $43, and variable overhead of $58. The company expects fixed overhead costs of $661,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs of $130,000 for the next year. It expects to produce and sell 11,300 snowboards in the next year. What will be the selling price per unit if Garcia uses a markup of 15% of total cost
Answer:
See
Explanation:
Total cost of 11,300 snow balls
Per unit total =
Direct material = $113 × 100
Direct labor = $43 × 262.79
Variable overhead = $58 × 194.82
Fixed overhead = $661,000
Total cost of 11,300 snow balls $2,700,000
Cost of 1 snow ball = Total cost of 11,300 snow balls / Total number of snowballs

Explanation:
An investor has two bonds in her portfolio, Bond C and Bond Z. Each bond matures in 4 years, has a face value of $1,000, and has a yield to maturity of 8.9%. Bond C pays a 10% annual coupon, while Bond Z is a zero coupon bond. Assuming that the yield to maturity of each bond remains at 8.9% over the next 4 years, calculate the price of the bonds at each of the following years to maturity.
Years to Maturity Price of Bond C Price of Bond Z
4 $ $
3 $ $
2 $ $
1 $ $
0 $ $
Answer:
Years to maturity Price of Bond C Price of Bond Z
4 $1,084.42 $711.03
3 $1,065.93 $774.31
2 $1,045.80 $843.23
1 $1,023.88 $918.27
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel for the calculations of the prices of Bond C and Bond Z.
The price of each bond of the bond can be calculated using the following excel function:
Bond price = -PV(rate, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)
Where;
rate = Yield to maturity of each of the bonds
NPER = Years to maturity
PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value
FV = Face value
Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1) for each of the Years to Maturity and inputting them into relevant cells in the attached excel sheet, we have:
Years to maturity Price of Bond C Price of Bond Z
4 $1,084.42 $711.03
3 $1,065.93 $774.31
2 $1,045.80 $843.23

The payoff matrix supplied shows outcomes of various strategies that two firms might follow in response to action on the part of the other company. This payoff matrix describes actions in developing vaccines for not-too-rare but also not-too-common diseases. Each element shows the payoffs to a set of strategies as the payoff to the domestic firm, then a comma, then the payoff to the foreign firm.
Foreign firm
Enter Not Enter
Domestic firm Enter -3,-3 183,0
Not Enter 0,183 0,0
Required:
What is the minimum subsidy the US must offer the domestic firm to ensure that it will choose to produce the vaccine?
Answer:
Subsidy per unit must be equal to 3.
Explanation:
The payoff matrix shows that the Domestic firm can earn -3 or 183 from entering into the market. While, it will get only 0 from not entering. So it will be beneficial for it to enter provided the government can bear the negative payoff it gets from entering as the foreign firm also enters.
Thus, if the government can subsidise the domestic firm's negative payoff of $3 from entering such that its payoff becomes, 0 or 186 from entering and 0 from not entering. Like this the domestic firm will be more likely to enter and produce the vaccine.
Thus, the amount of the subsidy must be $3.
At the beginning of the tax year, Barnaby's basis in the BBB Partnership was $50,000, including his $5,000 share of partnership debt. At the end of the tax year, his share of debt was $8,000.

Required:
Determine Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year.
Answer:
$62,000
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year
Using this formula
Ending tax year Barnaby's basis in the partnership=[BBB Partnership basis+( Share of debt-Share of partnership debt)+ Share of Partnership's income +Share of partnership's nontaxable income-Cash distributions]
Let plug in the formula
Ending tax year Barnaby's basis in the partnership =$50,000 + ($8,000-$5,000) + $20,000 + $1,000 - $12,000
Ending tax year Barnaby's basis in the partnership =$50,000 + $3,000 + $20,000 + $1,000 - $12,000
Ending tax year Barnaby's basis in the partnership = =$62,000
Therefore Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year will be $62,000
Holder Manufacturing had $125,000 of net income in 2015 when the selling price per unit was $100, the variable costs per unit were $70, and the fixed costs were $475,000. Management expects per unit data and total fixed costs to remain the same in 2016. The president of Holder Manufacturing is under pressure from stockholders to increase net income by $60,000 in 2016.
Instructions
A) Compute the number of units sold in 2015.
B) Compute the number of units that would have to be sold in 2016 to reach the stockholders' desired profit level.
C) Assume that Holder Manufacturing sells the same number of units in 2016 as it did in 2015. What would the selling price have to be in order to reach the stockholders' desired profit level.
Answer:
Holder Manufacturing
A. The number of units sold in 2015 is:
= 20,000 units
B. The number of units that would have to be sold in 2016 to reach the stockholders' desired profit level is:
= 22,000 units
C. The selling price to reach the stockholders' desired profit level, assuming that Holder Manufacturing sells the same number of units in 2016 as it did in 2015 is:
= $103 per unit.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net income in 2015 = $125,000
Selling price per unit = $100
Variable costs per unit = $70
Contribution per unit = $30
Fixed costs = $475,000
Number of units sold in 2015:
Contribution margin = Net income + Fixed costs
= $125,000 + $475,000 = $600,000
Number of units sold = $600,000/$30 = 20,000 units
For 2016:
Contribution margin = $660,000 ($600,000 + $60,000)
Number of units to be sold = 22,000
If units sold in 2016 = 20,000, selling price would be:
Contribution would be = $33 ($660,000/20,000)
Selling price = Variable cost + Contribution margin per unit
= $70 + $33 = $103

The local police department gives a detective test. Everyone who takes the test must have been a police officer for at least five years. The people taking the exam are rated from highest to lowest based on their test scores. If a detective position becomes available, it is filled on the basis of who has the highest score. What best describes this practice?
Answer:
Internal Recruitment/Selection, based on merit.
Explanation:
The local police department gives a Detective test and these are the features of that test;
1. The test is for persons who are already police officers.
This is called internal sourcing / internal recruitment. Instead of having fresh candidates, the police department picked up on employed police officers.
2. Everyone sitting for the test has been a police officer for at least 5 years.
This quality shows that everyone sitting for the test has experience on the job of policing. This also means that the test candidates will be familiar with terms on the test script.
3. The criterion for selection of best candidate is score.
This is a merit selection, hence if an officer of 15 years scores 65% and an officer of 5 years scores 80%, the officer of 5 years takes the vacant detective position.
WiseGuy Capital mutual fund has $200 million in assets and 10 million shares at the start of the year and with $250 million in assets and 11 million shares at the end of the year. During the year investors have received income distributions of $2 per share and capital gain distributions of $.25 per share. Assuming that the fund carries no debt, does not charge any load, and the total expense ratio is 2%, what is the rate of return on the fund
Answer:
The return rate on the fund is "23.75%".
Explanation:
The given values are:
In the starting of the year,
Mutual fund assets,
= $200
Share,
= 10 million
In the end of the year,
Income distribution,
= $2 per share
Capital gain distribution,
= $.25 per share
Total expense ration,
= 2%
Now,
The initial NAV will be:
= [tex]\frac{200mn}{10mn}[/tex]
= [tex]20[/tex]$
The final NAV will be:
= [tex]250-\frac{250\times 0.01}{11}[/tex]
= [tex]22.5[/tex]
hence,
The return will be:
= [tex]\frac{Change \ in \ NAV+Div+Capital \ gain \ distribution}{Initial \ NAV}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]\frac{22.5-20+2+0.25}{20}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4.75}{20}[/tex]
= [tex]0.2375[/tex]
i.e.,
= [tex]23.75[/tex]%

The price you would be willing to pay today for a share of Von Bora stock, if you plan to hold the stock for two years is closest to:
Answer:
Price of share today = $23.17
Explanation:
The value of a stock using the dividend valuation model, is the present value of the expected cash inflows discounted at the required rate of return. The required rate of return is the cost of equity.
The cost of equity is 10% in this scenario
The price of the share will be determined as follows:
$
Present value of Dividend in yr 1 = 1.40× 1.1^(-1)= 1.27
Present value of Dividend in yr 2 = 1.50 × 1.1^(-2)=1.24
Present value of share in yr 2 = 25× 1.1^(-2) = 20.66
Present value of total cash inflow 23.17
Price of share today = $23.17

Shortcomings of the DDM
It doesn't take a control perspective
It is unsuitable for firms that don't pay dividends
Unintentionally, David built in his backyard a garage that encroached two feet across the property line onto property owned by his neighbor, Harold. When the mistake was recognized immediately thereafter, David and Harold agreed in writing that David did not need to move the garage. The statutory period for the running of adverse possession in the state where the property is located is 15 years. Five years after the garage was completed, David sold his property to Nancy. Twenty years after Nancy purchased the property from David, Nancy claimed she had acquired the two feet of property through application of the doctrine of adverse possession. In a legal dispute between Nancy and Harold over ownership to the two feet Nancy now claims, which statement is most accurate:
Answer:
Nancy will prevail as she has used the property, openly as hers for over 15 years.
Explanation:
Since in the question it is given that nancy would prevail as she is able to used the property and for her it is open for above 15 years
Also the conditions related to the adverse possession would be fulfilled
So as per given situation, the above represent the answer
the same would be relevant
Going by the principle of adverse possession, the fact that Nancy has used the land beyond the statutory period of 15 years means that "Nancy will prevail as she has used the property, openly as hers for over 15 years."
The principle of adverse possession affirms that the possession of somebody else's land for an extended period of time might give the occupant the legal right of claiming ownership of the land. Nancy has up he land for 20 years since she purchased it from David, which is beyond the statutory period.Hence, Nancy would prevail since going by the principle of adverse possession.

Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated Useful Life
2021
Depreciation expense = $80,000
2022
Old Depreciation expense = $80,000
New Depreciation expense = Depreciable Amount ÷ Remaining Useful Life
= ($240,000 - $80,000) ÷ 5
= $32,000
Richland Company has a calendar year reporting period. On July 1, 2020, Richland’s equipment, with an original cost of $29,000, was sold to Quaker Corporation for $15,000. The January 1, 2020, balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account was $10,000. Depreciation for the first six months of 2020 was $2,000. The journal entry to record the transaction would include a
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry would be
Cash Dr $15,000
Accumulated depreciation ($10,000 + $2,000) $12,000
Loss on disposal - Plant assets $2,000
To equipment $29,000
(Being the sale of the equipment is recorded)
here the cash, accumulated depreciation and loss would be debited as it increased the assets and losses while on the other hand the equipment is credited as it decreased the assets
Batista Company management wants to maintain a minimum monthly cash balance of $19,900. At the beginning of April, the cash balance is $19,900, expected cash receipts for April are $244,400, and cash disbursements are expected to be $253,300. How much cash, if any, must be borrowed to maintain the desired minimum monthly balance
Answer:
the amount must be borrowed is $8,900
Explanation:
The computation of the amount must be borrowed is shown below:
Opening cash balance $19,900
Add: cash receipts $244,400
Less: cash disbursements -$253,300
Cash balance after disbursements $11,000
Minimum monthly cash balance $19,900
Amount to be borrowed $8,900
hence, the amount must be borrowed is $8,900
You are the manager of a firm that manufactures front and rear windshields for the automobile industry. Due to economies of scale in the industry, entry by new firms is not profitable. Toyota has asked your company and your only rival to simultaneously submit a price quote for supplying 100,000 front and rear windshields for its newest version of the Highlander. If both you and your rival submit a low price, each firm supplies 50,000 front and rear windshields and earns a zero profit. If one firm quotes a low price and the other a high price, the low-price firm supplies 100,000 front and rear windshields and earns a profit of $11 million and the high-price firm supplies no windshields and loses $2 million. If both firms quote a high price, each firm supplies 50,000 front and rear windshields and earns a $6 million profit. Determine your optimal pricing strategy if you and your rival believe that the new Highlander is a "special edition" that will be sold only for one year. Would your answer differ if you and your rival were required to resubmit price quotes year after year and if, in any given year, there was a 60 percent chance that Toyota would discontinue the Highlander? Explain.
Answer:
a. The optimal pricing strategy will be one-shot Nash equilibrium in which “You” charge low price, “Your Rival” charge low price and then the payoff is ($0, $0)
b. Yes, the anwer will differ becuase it is not possible to sustain the collusive outcome as a Nash equilibrium because [tex]\pi ^{Cheat}[/tex] > [tex]\pi ^{Cooperate}[/tex].
Explanation:
a. Determine your optimal pricing strategy if you and your rival believe that the new Highlander is a "special edition" that will be sold only for one year.
Note: See the attached excel file for the Representation of one shot normal for of the game played between "You" and "Your Rival" together with the payoffs.
From the attached excel file, the dominant strategy is for “You” and “Your Rival” to charge “Low Price” each. If the dominant strategy is played by “You” and “Your Rival”, the optimal pricing strategy will be one-shot Nash equilibrium in which “You” charge low price, “Your Rival” charge low price and then the payoff is ($0, $0).
b. Would your answer differ if you and your rival were required to resubmit price quotes year after year and if, in any given year, there was a 60 percent chance that Toyota would discontinue the Highlander? Explain.
When we have a year-after-year competition between “You” and “Your Rival” but with a 60 percent chance that Toyota would discontinue the Highlander, the payoffs of the firm that continue to comply with the collusive strategy of charging “High Price” by each firm under the normal trigger strategy whereby “You” and “Your Rival” agree to charge high price as long as there is no past deviation by any of the firm, otherwise charge a low price is as follows:
[tex]\pi ^{Cooperate}[/tex] = $6 + $6(100% - 60%) + $6(100% - 60%)^2 + 6(100% - 60%)^2 …….
[tex]\pi ^{Cooperate}[/tex] = $6 / 6% = $10
Therefore, what the firm that cheats earn today is $11 million and it earns $0 forever. The implication of this is that [tex]\pi ^{Cheat}[/tex] = $11
Therefore, the anwer will differ becuase it is not possible to sustain the collusive outcome as a Nash equilibrium because [tex]\pi ^{Cheat}[/tex] > [tex]\pi ^{Cooperate}[/tex].
