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
g You want to save sufficient funds to generate an annual cash flow of $50,000 a year for 20 years as retirement income. You currently have no retirement savings but plan to save an equal amount each year for the next 30 years until your retirement. How much do you need to save each year if you can earn 8 percent on the savings? (10 Points)
Answer:
You need to save $4,012.45 each year
Explanation:
Pertiuty in 20 years is $50,000.
So the amount must be in account after 30 years saving to enough for above pertiuty is calculated as below:
= $50000/(1+8%)+ $50000/(1+8%)^2+......+$50000/(1+8%)^20
= $50,000 * Annuity Factor ( 1-20 years) of 8%
=$50000*9.818
= $490,907
To have $490,907 (FV) in account after 30 years (tenor), now you have save an amount each year (PMT) calculated as below:
$490,907 = PMT*(1+8%)^30+....PMT*(1+8%)^2 + PMT*(1+8%)
= PMT * Discount Factor ( 1-30 years) of 8%
$490,907 = PMT * 122.346
-> PMT = $490,907/ 122.346
= $4,012.45
Gelb Company currently manufactures 53,500 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $2.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $67,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $64,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.50 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 53,500 units and buying 53,500 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the total incremental cost is shown below;
For making 53,500 units
Particulars Relevant Relevant Total
Per Unit Fixed Costs Relevant Costs
Variable Cost
Per Unit $2.95 $157,825
(53,500 units × $2.95)
Fixed

Costs $67,000 $67,000
Total Incremental Costs to Make $224,825
For making 53,500 units
Particulars Relevant Relevant Total
Per Unit Fixed Costs Relevant Costs
Purchase
Price
Per Unit $3.50 $187,250
(53,500 units × $3.50)
Total Incremental Cost to Buy $187,250
The company should buy the component from the outside supplier as it saves the cost for ($224,825 - $187,250) = $37,575 plus the buying cost is less than the making cost
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
For the item below, determine whether the amount would be disclosed in the cash flow statement under: Operating (CFO), Investing (CFI), or Financing (CFF), as well as if would be a net increase (+) or decrease (-) in cash or cash equivalents:
A. Principal payments on long-term borrowings
B. Decrease in accounts receivable
C. Proceeds from long-term borrowings
D. Increase in deferred income tax net liability
E. Net earnings
F. Increase in prepaid expenses
G. Increase in merchandise inventories
H. Cash dividends paid
I. Proceeds from issuance of common stock
J. Increase in accrued salaries, wages, and related benefits
K. Payments for repurchase of common stock
L. Capital Expenditures
M. Increase in accounts payable
N. Depreciation and amortization expenses
Answer:
Explanation:
Operating Cashflows have to do with the transactions dealing with the day to day activities of the business including calculations of net income and revenue and expenses.
Investing Cashflow has to do with the transactions involving fixed assets such as Property, Land and Equipment since these are Capital Expenditure. Also included are stock ownership and bond holding of other entities.
Financing Cashflows refer to transactions relating to the provision of capital for the business through loans or Equity.
A. Principal payments on long-term borrowings.
FINANCING - decrease (-)
This is a financing transaction that deals with long term loans. It will decrease the cash or cash equivalents held.
B. Decrease in accounts receivable.
OPERATING - Increase +
This is an operating cashflow and it is an increase because Receivables reduce when they pay the business so cash increases.
C. Proceeds from long-term borrowings.
FINANCING - Increase +
This is a financing activity and the increase is due to money from Issuing Bonds or borrowing money coming into the business.
D. Increase in deferred income tax net liability.
OPERATING - Increase +
By reducing the amount that we pay in tax that means that less cash has been paid which also means that more cash is kept in the business which increases the Cash balance.
E. Net earnings.
OPERATING - Increase +
So long as the Net Earnings are positive, they go to the Operating Section and increase the amount of cash and cash equivalents.
F. Increase in prepaid expenses.
OPERATING - Decrease -
By increasing the amount of prepaid expenses, this means that the company used money to pay for expenses it hasn't incurred yet which reduces the cash in hand.
G. Increase in merchandise inventories.
OPERATING - Decrease -
By buying more Inventory, more cash was spent and this therefore reduces the cash and cash equivalents balance.
H. Cash dividends paid.
FINANCING - Decrease -
Dividends relate to equity and Equity is a Financing Cashflow Transaction. Paying Dividends means giving out cash so it reduces the cash and cash equivalents balance.
I. Proceeds from issuance of common stock.
FINANCING - Increase
Similar to proceeds from long term borrowings, Equity is a Financing activity as it finds the business, the proceeds received from here increase the cash and cash equivalents balance.
J. Increase in accrued salaries, wages, and related benefits.
OPERATING - Increase +
These are Operating Cashflow transactions and by withholding them, the business does not spend cash on them. That cash that was not paid is an increase to the cash and cash equivalents balance.
K. Payments for repurchase of common stock.
FINANCING - Decrease -
By repurchasing stock which is an Equity transaction, this goes to the Financing Section. The cash spent to repurchase the stock reduces the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand.
L. Capital Expenditures.
INVESTING - Decrease -
By buying capital items or spending on Capital Investments, the company makes an investment and as such this goes to the Investment Section. The expenses are a reduction on cash.
M. Increase in accounts payable.
OPERATING - Increase +
Accounts Payable are an Operating Activity and when they are increased that means that the company paid less cash and bought more things on credit. That cash that wasn't paid is an increase in the cash balance.
N. Depreciation and amortization expenses.
OPERATING - Increase +
By including depreciation and amortization in the operating cashflow, these increase the Cashflow because they are non cash items. Even though they are recorded, no physical cash actually flows to them. This cash that was supposed to flow to them is in increase.

Kerbow Corporation uses part B76 in one of its products. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the 12,000 units of the part that are needed every year. An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $27.40 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the outside supplier's offer were accepted, only $6,000 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided. In addition, the space used to produce part B76 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $29,000 per year for that product.A. Prepare a report that shows the effect on the company's total net operating income of buying part B76 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company.B. Identify which alternative the company should choose and explain why.C. Determine what errors managers may make when considering make or buy decisions and basing the decision solely on the data?
Answer:
12,000 units
outside supplier offers at $27.40 each = $328,800
current relevant costs:
direct materials $7.20 x 12,000 = $86,400direct labor $7.10 x 12,000 = $85,200variable overhead $3.50 x 12,000 = $42,000 supervisor's salary $4.70 x 12,000 = $56,400total = $270,000only $6,000 of allocated fixed costs can be avoided
additional revenue from using the freed space $29,000
A. Prepare a report that shows the effect on the company's total net operating income of buying part B76 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company.
Keep Buy Differential
producing from vendor amount
production cost $270,000 $0 $270,000
purchase cost $0 $328,800 ($328,800)
avoidable costs $0 ($6,000) $6,000
additional revenue $0 ($29,000) $29,000
total $270,000 $293,800 ($23,800)
B. Identify which alternative the company should choose and explain why.
The company should keep producing the part because production costs are lower than buying it from an outside vendor.
C. Determine what errors managers may make when considering make or buy decisions and basing the decision solely on the data?
If we had made this decision based on total production costs, then management would have erroneously chosen to purchase the part from an outside vendor. Total production costs are $28.30 per unit, but almost $5.80 per unit are not avoidable (mostly fixed and general overhead), so the company will incur them no matter what. You have to compare only relevant costs or revenues.
How can economies of scale benefit you as a customer and society as a whole? Can the taxicab industry, in large cities, be subject to significant economies of scale? Are ride-sharing services, such as Uber and Lyft, able to take advantage of economies of scale? How or why not?
Answer:
The answer to this question can be described as follows:
Explanation:
The economy scale with cost activity and total volumes of sales, which lowers the overall product prices as a result, and grows all economies of scale, because consumers purchase the stuff like those, who pay even less than the amount they expect to receive.
It is the transition, the same saved money it's spent on other commodities and the overall deficit as well as the actual boosting of financial social assistance that generates income as a whole. It also increases outlays and creates more jobs, and benefits people with higher median income levels and a decent standard of living, For example
Uber often encourages ride-sharing, in which the car is capable of serving 3-4 people simultaneously. This gives a win-win situation to all sides and generates economies of scale. Throughout the market like India, Uber already is introducing it and being extremely successful.
Martin wants to provide money in his will for an annual bequest to whichever of his living relatives is oldest. That bequest will provide $ 9 comma 000 in the first year, and will grow by 7 % per year, forever. If the interest rate is 10 %, how much must Martin provide to fund this bequest?
Answer:
$300,00
Explanation:
In a situation where the interest rate is said to be 10% the amount that Martin must provide in order to fund this bequest will therefore be:
Bequest first year $9,000/(Interest rate 10%-
Increase of 7 % per year)
Hence:
$9,000/0.03
=$300,000
Therefore $300,00 will be provided to fund the bequest
In the real world, we find that dividends Group of answer choices Tend to be a lower percentage of earnings for mature firms. Are usually changed every year to reflect earnings changes. Usually exhibit greater stability than earnings. Are usually set as a fixed percentage of earnings. Fluctuate more widely than earnings.
Answer: Usually exhibit greater stability than earnings.
Explanation:
A dividend is a distribution of profits to the shareholders by a corporation. When a profit is earned by a corporation, the corporation pays a proportion of its profit as dividend to the shareholders.
Although dividends should be distributed in relation to the earnings for the year, that is, when earnings fall, the dividends should fall and vice versa. In real world, dividends are usually stable because a regular dividend paying company is seeen to be a better firm and also investor friendly. Therefore, even if the earnings fall, the dividend yield usually remain stable.
So, correct option is option 1) usually exhibit greater stability than earnings

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.

Bergstrom accepted the return of merchandise by a customer. The merchandise had been sold on account, and payment had not been received on the date of return. The returned goods retailed for $400, but cost Bergstrom only $300. The appropriate journal entry for Bergstrom is:
Answer:
Debit Sales Return and allowances $400
Credit Accounts receivable $400
Explanation:
In the given scenario the sale was made on account. That means that no money was collected for the transaction.
So we do not consider the $300 it would cost Bergstrom.
When a good is sold on account, the accounts receivable is debited for the sale amount ($400). As the customer pays the money owed the account is credited to balance it up.
In this case however the good is being returned. So we will debit the Sales Return and Allowance account to recognise the returned item.
Accounts receivable is credited to remove the credit sale since the product has been returned.

Earnings per Share and Price-Earnings Ratio A company reports the following: Net income $1,306,000 Preferred dividends $74,000 Shares of common stock outstanding 80,000 Market price per share of common stock $97.02 a. Determine the company's earnings per share on common stock. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Use the rounded answer of requirement a for subsequent requirement, if required. $ b. Determine the company's price-earnings ratio. Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
(a) The company's earnings per share on common stock is $ 15.40
(b) The company's price-earnings ratio is 6.3
Explanation:
Net income = $1,306,000
Preferred dividends = $74,000
Shares of common stock outstanding = 80,000 shares
Market price per share of common stock = $97.02
(a) Earnings per share = (Net income−Preference dividend ) ÷ Shares outstanding
= ($1,306,000−$74,000 ) ÷ 80,000 shares
= $1,232,000 ÷ 80,000 shares
= $ 15.4
(b) Price-Earnings ratio = Market price per share ÷ Earnings per share
= $97.02 ÷ $15.40 per share
= 6.3
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

A metal-cutting operation has a target value of 20 and consistently averages 19.8 with a standard deviation of 0.5. The design engineers have established an upper specification limit of 22 and a lower specification limit of 18. What is the process capability index? A) 1.20 B) 1.33 C) 1.46 D) 1.66 12. Following Q11, what is the process capability ratio? A) 1.33 B) 1.50 C) 1.66 D) 2.00
Answer:
process capability index = Cpl ( lower ) = 1.20 ( A )
The process capability ratio = 1.33
Explanation:
Target value = 20
mean = 19.8
standard deviation = 0.5
upper specification limit = 22
lower specification limit = 18
The process capability index =
Cpu = [tex]\frac{22- 18}{6(0.5)}[/tex] = 4 / 3 = 1.33
Cpk ( upper ) = (22 - mean ) / 3 * std
= ( 22 - 19.8 ) / ( 3 * 0.5 ) = 2.2 / 1.5 = 1.47
Cpl ( lower ) = ( mean - 18 ) / ( 3 * 0.5 ) = ( 19.8 - 18 ) / 1.5
= 1.8 / 1.5 = 1.2
hence the process capability index is Capability index with the minimum value which is Cpl ( lower ) = 1.20 ( A )
The process capability ratio = 1.33 refer to Cpu equation
15) A market is defined as A) a physical place where people buy only goods. B) a physical place where people buy both goods and services. C) a store where people buy physical goods. D) any arrangement that brings buyers and sellers together. E) a place where one good is bartered for another.
Answer:
D) any arrangement that brings buyers and sellers together.
Explanation:
In earlier times before now a market has a specific way of defining it. But due to recent advancement in technology, it can be described or defined to be any arrangement that brings buyers and sellers together.
The power of online presence totally altered the initial marker definitions the world know as any physical place where these buyers and sellers meet to do their tradings or businesses or a place where goods are bartered for another. Therefore any arrangement, be it via mail, sms, codes, online stores, video meetings etc are all forms of market places.
Variable costs as a percentage of sales for Lemon Inc. are 62%, current sales are $563,000, and fixed costs are $189,000. How much will operating income change if sales increase by $39,200
Answer:
Effect on income= $14,896 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs= 62% of sales
Current sales are $563,000
Fixed costs are $189,000.
Sales increase by $39,200.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= sales increase*contribution margin ratio
Effect on income= 39,200*(1 - 0.62)
Effect on income= $14,896 increase
Prove:
Actual income= 563,200*0.38 - 189,000= 25,016
New income= 602,400*0.38 - 189,000= 39,912
Difference= $14,896 increase

5. The baseball must be turned over to police and can only be claimed after a week has passed.
Answer:
1. Ben must return the baseball to the owner immediately as it is not an object of great value.
Explanation:
The owner of the baseball is still the rightful owner because he was the one who purchased the item. He does not lose ownership of the baseball simply because it landed on Ben's apartment.
Ben has not right to claim ownership of the baseball, and he must return it to the owner immediately.
An advertising expenditure approach that initially formulates the advertising goals and defines the tasks to accomplish these goals is known as a(n) _____. Group of answer choices objective approach functional approach task approach percentage sale approach
Answer:
Option C. Task Approach
Explanation:
Task approach is the approach that is based on the goals that expenditure must achieve and helps in defining what the advertising goals must be and what must be the tasks for goals accomplishment.
The advertising expenditure that is based on the sales that the expenditure must generate is percentage sale approach and it is not the case here.
Objective Approach is based on the set objectives and hence helps in designing the marketing expenditure from each aspects which is again not the case here because only advertising expenses are considered here.
The Functional Approach is the dealing of the tasks of the company by separate independent functions which performs the task which is also not the case here.
Under a partnership agreement, Sherry is to receive 25% of the partnership income, but not less than $10,000. The partnership has net income of $30,000 for Year 1 before any allocation. Calculate Sherry’s guaranteed payment from the partnership for Year 1.
Answer:
$2,500
Explanation:
since Sherry will receive at least $10,000 or 25% of the partnership's net income, then the guaranteed payment = $10,000 - ($30,000 x 25%) = $10,000 - $7,500 = $2,500
When partnerships include guaranteed minimum payments, he/she will receive that amount even if the partnership's net income is not high enough. If the partnership's net income would have been $40,000 or more, then there would be no guaranteed payment (= $40,000 x 25% = $10,000).

True or False : When you are thinking of something you want to predict, measure, or change in your business, you are probably thinking of a dependent variable.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Dependent variables are variables which are altered by the changes to the independent factors or variables.
The following are instances of dependent and independent variables:
Dependent Variable (DV): Profit, Product Quality, Staff Attrition during a recession.
Profit (DV) depends on sales, expenses, the economy, the proficiency of the sales staff, the quality of the product.
The Quality of the Product (DV) depends on the production process, product design, quality of raw materials etc
So, many of the factors highlighted above, which affect the dependent variables are called Independent variable.
Profit, for instance, can be forecasted or changed IF changes are made to sales.
It is possible to measure the quality of a product or service. It can also be altered by increasing or decreasing the quality of raw material input.
Cheers!
Imagine that you work in a call center. Your manager tells you that you need to answer 25% more calls per hour. In order to do this, you must spend less time with each caller, and your caller satisfaction scores are going down. By answering more phone calls but providing worse service, you ARE being __________ but NOT ___________.
Answer:
By answering more phone calls but providing worse service, you ARE being EFFICIENT but NOT SATISFY CUSTOMERS' NEEDS.
Explanation:
A worker's efficiency is measured by the total output per hour of labor. In this case, since you are answering more calls per hour, your efficiency is increasing (higher output per hour).
The quality of the service provided by a worker's is measured by the quality of their output (or performance), and if you satisfy your customers' needs. Since the service that you are providing is not that good, then your quality levels are decreasing.
You may be producing more services, but the services produced lack good quality.

uppose McKnight Corp.'s breakeven point is revenues of $ 1 comma 100 comma 000. Fixed costs are $ 660 comma 000. Requirements 1. Compute the contribution margin percentage. 2. Compute the selling price if variable costs are $16 per unit. 3. Suppose 65 comma 000 units are sold. Compute the margin of safety in units and dollars. 4. What does this tell you about the risk of McKnight making a loss? What are the most likely reasons for this risk to increase?
Answer:
1. Compute the contribution margin percentage.
40%2. Compute the selling price if variable costs are $16 per unit.
$26.673. Suppose 65 comma 000 units are sold. Compute the margin of safety in units and dollars.
margin of safety in $ = $633,550margin of safety in % = 36.55%4. What does this tell you about the risk of McKnight making a loss? What are the most likely reasons for this risk to increase?
Since the contribution margin is relatively high, this means that the production costs are relatively low (compared to selling price). The associated risks may come from high leverage, e.g. machinery purchased on credit that results in high interest expense. For the most part, having a high contribution margin is generally very good, just ask Apple.Explanation:
break even point is $ = $1,100,000 (= break even point units x selling price)
fixed costs = $660,000
contribution margin % = (total sales - total variable costs) / total sales
total variable costs = $1,100,000 - $660,000 = $440,000
contribution margin % = ($1,100,000 - $660,000) / $1,100,000 = 40%
variable costs = $16 per unit
0.4 = (x - $16) / x
0.4x = x - $16
$16 = 0.6x
x = $26.67
65,000 x $26.67 = $1,733,550
margin of safety in $ = $1,733,550 - $1,100,000 = $633,550
margin of safety in % = $633,550 / $1,733,550 = 36.55%
In 2016, Hudson Corp. sold 3,000 units at $150.00 each. Variable expenses were $113.00 per unit, and fixed expenses were $58,240. The same variable expenses per unit and fixed expenses are expected for 2017. If the company cuts selling price by 6.00%, what is its break-even point in units for 2017?
Answer:
Break even in units (2017) = 2080 units
Explanation:
The break even point in units is the number of units where the total revenue equals total cost. It is a point of no profit and no loss. The break even point in units is calculated as follows,
Break even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
A cut in selling price of 6% would mean that the new selling price will be,
New selling price = 150 - (150 * 0.06) = $141
Contribution margin per unit = 141 - 113 = $28
Break even in units = 58240 / 28
Break even in units (2017) = 2080 units
