Answer: $1,018
Explanation:
Cities are 90 miles apart so a roundtrip is 180 miles which means that the operating cost per trip is:
= 1.30 * 180
= $234
Total cost per trip = Divers cost + operating cost
= 275 + 234
= $509
Four trips are made per week so total cost is:
= 509 * 4
= $2,036
If each sent its truck twice a week and hauled the other firm's cargo on the return trip then savings would be:
= Cost of 4 trips - cost of 2 trips
= 2,036 - (509 * 2)
= $1,018

Two-Asset Portfolio Stock A has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 35%. Stock B has an expected return of 17% and a standard deviation of 60%. The correlation coefficient between Stocks A and B is 0.2. What is the expected return of a portfolio invested 20% in Stock A and 80% in Stock B
Answer: 16%
Explanation:
Expected return of a portfolio is the weighted average of the returns of the individual stocks given the proportion of the portfolio invested in them:
= (Return on stock A * Percentage invested in stock A) + ( Return on Stock B * Percentage invested in Stock B)
= (12% * 20%) + (17% * 80%)
= 2.4% + 13.6%
= 16%
Use the following data to calculate the cost of goods sold for the period: Beginning Raw Materials Inventory $ 30,000 Ending Raw Materials Inventory 70,000 Beginning Work in Process Inventory 40,000 Ending Work in Process Inventory 46,000 Beginning Finished Goods Inventory 72,000 Ending Finished Goods Inventory 68,000 Cost of Goods Manufactured for the period 246,000

The journal entry that Smart makes on February 8 is: Multiple Choice Cash5,684 Sales discounts116 Accounts receivable 5,800 Cash5,684 Accounts receivable 5,684 Cash4,000 Accounts receivable 4,000 Cash5,800 Accounts receivable 5,800 Cash3,920 Sales discounts80 Accounts receivable 4,000
Answer:
Date Account Details Debit Credit
Feb 8 Cash $5,684
Sales Discount $ 116
Accounts Receivable $5,800
Explanation:
Credit terms of 2/10, n/30 mean that there is a 2% sales discount if the debt if the credit sale is settled in 10 days. If not, the person will have to pay in 30 days.
Truman paid within 10 days so qualifies for the discount which is:
= 5,800 * 2%
= $116
The amount paid will be:
= 5,800 - 116
= $5,684

Analyze Life Force Fitness, Inc.
Life Force Fitness, Inc., assembles and sells treadmills. Activity-based product information for each treadmill is as follows:
Activity Activity-Base Usage (hrs. per unit) X Activity Rate per Hour = Activity Cost
Motor assembly 1.50 $20 $30.00
Final assembly 1.00 18 18.00
Testing 0.25 22 5.50
Rework 0.40 22 8.80
Moving 0.20 15 3.00
Activity cost per unit $65.30
All of the activity costs are related to labor. Management must remove $2.00 of activity cost from the product in order to remain competitive.
Rework involves disassembling and repairing a unit that fails testing. Not all units require rework, but the average is 0.40 hours per unit. Presently, the testing is done on the completed assembly; but much of the rework has been related to motors, which can be tested independently prior to adding the motor to the treadmill during final assembly. Thus, motor issues can be diagnosed and solved without having to disassemble the complete treadmill. This change will reduce the average rework per unit by one-quarter.
Determine the new activity cost per unit under the rework improvement scenario. Round your answer to 2 decimal place.
Answer:
63.10
Explanation:
The computation of the new activity cost per unit is shown below:
Particulars Activity-Base Usage Activity rate
Activity (hrs. per unit) per Hour Activity Cost
Motor assembly 1.5 20.00 30.00
Final assembly 1.00 18.00 18.00
Testing 0.25 22.00 5.50
Rework 0.30 22.00 6.60
(0.40- 0.40 ÷ 4)
Moving 0.20 15.00 3.00
Activity cost per unit 63.10
Activity-based costing is one of the ways under cost accounting for the determination of the costs of units or products based upon the types of activities involved in producing the goods. It determines the unit cost of the product by taking the proportional ratio of each activity charged over the product.
The new activity cost per unit is $63.10.
The new activity cost per unit is determined as per the existing activity cost. All the costs per unit will remain the same while the activity usage will also remain the same except for the rework activity.
In the context of the given scenario, the rework cost will be reduced by $2, so it will change from 0.4 to 0.3.
The computation of the new activity cost per unit is shown in the image attached below.

Navistar Electric issued 1000 debenture bonds 2 years ago with a face value of $5,000 each and a bond interest rate of 15% per year payable semiannually. The bonds have a maturity date of 20 years from the date they were issued. If the interest rate in the market place is 10% per year compounded semiannually, determine the present worth today of one bond.
Answer:
$7,081.25
Explanation:
Face value = 5000
Coupon = 15% paid annually. Semi annual payment = 750/2 = 375
Time to maturity = 18 years
Interest rate = 10% compounded semi-annually
P = 375(P|A, 5%, 36) + 5000(P|F, 5%, 36)
P = 375(16.58131488) + 5000(0.17265193)
P = 6217.99308 + 863.25965
P = 7081.25273
P = $7,081.25
So, the present worth of one bond today is $7,081.25

In capital budgeting, the accounting rate of return (ARR) decision model: Incorporates the timing of cash flows. Considers the time value of money. Does not provide an unambiguous decision criterion (rule) regarding the acceptance of capital investment projects. Ignores accounting income generated after the break-even point. Ignores cash outflows after the initial investment.
Answer:
Incorporates the timing of cash flows.
Explanation:
The Accounting Rate of Return uses accrual accounting in order to determine net income instead of actual cash flows like the NPV, payback period or IRR.
ARR = average annual income / average investment.
For example, an increase in accounts receivable is not considered an increase in net cash flows, but it is considered part of total revenue which increases net income

A total of $54,000 is borrowed and repaid with 48 monthly payments, with the first payment occurring one month after receipt of the $54,000. The stated interest rate is 8.50% compounded quarterly. What monthly payment is required
Answer: $1,329.40
Explanation:
First convert the annual interest rate which is compounded quarterly to an effective rate per period.
effective rate = (1 + annual rate/ no of compounding periods) ^ (number of compounding periods/ no. of periods) - 1
= (1 + 8.5%/4) ⁴ ⁺ ¹² - 1
= 0.703%
The monthly payments are constant so this is an Annuity.
Present value of Annuity = Annuity * (1 - ( 1 + r) ^ -n) / r
54,000 = Annuity * ( 1 - (1 + 0.703%)⁻⁴⁸) / 0.703%
54,000 = Annuity * 40.6205
Annuity = 54,000 / 40.62
Annuity = $1,329.40

The product's direct materials cost is $48.96 per unit, and its direct labor cost is $25.36 per unit. Use activity-based costing to compute the unit product cost of product D28K.
Answer:
Dobles Corporation
The unit product cost of product D28K is:
$144.01
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity
Assembly $228,060 18,000 machine hours
Processing orders $34,068 1,200 orders
Inspection $125,560 1,720 inspection hours
Units of D28K produced per year = 420 units
D28K requirements:
Machine hours 460
Orders 80
Inspections 10
Direct materials cost per unit = $48.96
Direct labor cost per unit = $25.36
Activity rate:
Assembly $228,060/18,000 = $12.67 per machine hour
Processing orders $34,068/1,200 = $28.39 per order
Inspection $125,560/1,720 = $73 per inspection-hour
Cost of D28K:

(b) If the interest is compounded monthly, there will be $ in the account. (c) If the interest is compounded weekly, there will be $ in the account. (d) If the interest is compounded daily, there will be $ in the account. (e) If the interest is compounded continuously, there will be $ in the account.
Answer:
a) Compounded Annually = $9671.41
b) Compounded Monthly = $9691.51
c) Compounded Weekly = $9692.93
d) Compounded Daily = $9693.30
e) Compounded Continuously = $9693.36
Explanation:
Solution:
This question is very simple. We just need to know the basic formula.
Data Given:
P = Principal Amount = $8000
i = interest rate = 2.4% annual
n = period or year = 8 years.
So, our basic formula is:
A = P [tex](1 + \frac{r}{100}) ^{n}[/tex]
a) Compounded Annually.
A = P [tex](1 + \frac{r}{100}) ^{n}[/tex]
A = 8000 [tex](1 + \frac{0.024}{100}) ^{8}[/tex]
A = $9671.41
b) Compounded Monthly:
1 year = 12 months.
A = P [tex](1 + \frac{r}{100*12}) ^{n*12}[/tex]
A = 8000 [tex](1 + \frac{0.024}{100*12}) ^{8*12}[/tex]
A = $9691.51
c) Compounded Weekly:
1 year = 52 weeks
A = P [tex](1 + \frac{r}{100*52}) ^{n*52}[/tex]
A = 8000 [tex](1 + \frac{0.024}{100*52}) ^{8*52}[/tex]
A = $9692.93
d) Compounded Daily:
1 year = 365 days
A = P [tex](1 + \frac{r}{100*365}) ^{n*365}[/tex]
A = 8000 [tex](1 + \frac{0.024}{100*365}) ^{8*365}[/tex]
A = $9693.30
e) Compounded Continuously:
For this we have following formula:
A = P[tex]e^{\frac{n*r}{100} }[/tex]
A = P[tex]e^{\frac{8*0.024}{100} }[/tex]
A = $9693.36
n the context of competing in the global economy, globalization suggests that: a. an organization's nationality is held strongly in consciousness. b. the world's cultural diversity is of no significance to transnational organizations. c. the world is divided by borders and diverse cultures. d. the world is free from national boundaries and is borderless
Answer:
d. the world is free from national boundaries and is borderless
Explanation:
Globalisation is defined as the increase in connectivity between different nations as a result of increased volume of trade and culture exchange that occurs between the nations.
Such increase in inter connectivity leads to a global economy where national borders do not seem to exist.
Globalisation reduces the cumbersome process of having to pay various charges when transacting between countires

4. Carver issued new long-term bonds at their par value of $300,000 to fund a new Investment project.
There'll be an increase of $300,000 in the long term liabilities. Cash will also increase by $300,000
5. Carver closed a large sale to a major customer for $200,000, though the Inventory was only valued at $140,000 on the company's balance sheet. The customer paid $70,000 upfront and has agreed to pay the rest of the bill in the next month.
In this case, there'll be an increase in the sales revenue by $200000.
Increase in cash by $70000
Increase in the account receivable by $130000
Decrease in the inventory by $140000
Increase in the cost of goods that are sold by $140000.
The ACME manufacturing company is weighing its options to source Component X. Supplier A would cost $3000 per order plus $2.50 for each unit ordered. If ACME buys component X from Supplier B, it would cost $6.00 per unit. ACME also has the option to buy X from Supplier C that charges $5.00 per unit, but requires buyers to pay for a minimum of 400 units (even if they require less than 400). Shipping costs are the same for all suppliers. Select all true statements about sourcing Component X.
Question Completion:
Since the options are not provided, it is assumed that ACME requires 2,000 units of Component X monthly. Which supplier should the company choose?
Answer:
ACME Manufacturing Company
The supplier that should be chosen is:
Supplier A.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Quantity of component X required monthly = 2,000 units
Cost of buying from supplier A = $3,000 + ($2.50 * 2,000) = $8,000
Cost of buying from supplier B = $6 * 2,000 = $12,000
Cost of buying from supplier C = $5 * 2,000 = $10,000
b) This cost decision depends on the quantity of component X required by ACME manufacturing. If the quantity were to be less than or equal to 1,100 units, another supplier other than supplier A might be preferred. Again, if there are other considerations apart from cost, supplier A might not be chosen. The implication is that the choice of a supplier for a component depend on many factors.
The market price of a security is $74. Its expected rate of return is 20.2%. The risk-free rate is 3% and the market risk premium is 6.5%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)
Answer:
The market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged) will be $44.10.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:
The market price of a security is $74. Its expected rate of return is 20.2%. The risk-free rate is 3% and the market risk premium is 6.5%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)
Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity.
Explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Since the correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged), it implies that beta and also the risk premium will also double.
From the question, we can obtain:
Current risk premium = Expected rate of return - Market risk premium = 20.2% - 6.5% = 13.70%
As the current risk premium will double, we have:
New risk premium = Current risk premium * 2 = 13.70% * 2 = 27.40%
Also, we have:
New discount rate = New risk premium + Market risk premium = 27.40% + 6.5% = 33.90%
Since it is assumed that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity, the dividend can therefore e calculated as follows:
Dividend = Current market price * Current expected rate of return = $74 * 20.2% = $14.95
The new market price of the security can now be calculated as follows:
New market price of the security = Dividend / New discount rate = $14.95 / 33.90% = $44.10
Therefore, the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged) will be $44.10.
