1. Determine the total incremental cost of making 51,000 units of RX5. 2. Determine the total incremental cost of buying 51,000 units of RX5. 3. Should the company make or buy RX5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer with Explanation:

Requirement 1:

Incremental cost of making RX5:

Always remember that the direct costs are always incremental cost because these are the variable cost and will not be incurred if the decision is not taken related to making of the product RX5.

Incremental Cost of Making RX5:

Direct Material ($4 * 51,000 Units)                      $204,000

Direct Labor ($8 * 51,000 Units)                          $408,000

Variable Overheads ($9* 20% * 51,000 Units)     $91,800  

Total incremental cost of making 51000 units   $703,800

Requirement 2:

Incremental Cost of Buying RX5:

Purchase Cost ($19 per Unit * 51,000 Units) $969,000

The total incremental cost of making 51000 units is $969,000

Requirement 3:

The Cost of buying is higher than making RX5, hence the company should Make RX5.

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Board Company has a foreign subsidiary that began operations at the start of 2017 with assets of 155,000 kites (the local currency unit) and liabilities of 100,000. During this initial year of operation, the subsidiary reported a profit of 49,000 kites. It distributed two dividends, each for 7,300 kites with one dividend declared on March 1 and the other on October 1. Applicable exchange rates for 1 kite follow:

January 1, 2017 (start of business) $0.80
March 1,2017 0.78
Weighted average rate for 2017 0.77
October 1,2017 0.76
December 31, 2017 0.75

Required:
a. Assume that the kite is this subsidiary's functional currency. What transfation adjustment would Board report for the year 2017?
b. Assume that on October 1,2017, Board entered into a forward exchange contract to hedge the net investment in this subsidiary. On that date, Board agreed to sell 200,000 kites in three months at a forward exchange rate of $0.76/1 kite. Prepare the journal entries required by this forward contract.
c. Compute the net translation adjustment for Board to report in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the year 2017 under this second set of circumstances.

Answers

Answer:

a. The Board would report translation adjustment of -$3,138.

b. See the journal entries and explanation below.

c. Net translation adjustment is -$1,138.

Explanation:

a. Assume that the kite is this subsidiary's functional currency. What translation adjustment would Board report for the year 2017?

Note: See the attached file for the calculation of translation adjustment.

The board would report a negative (debit) translation adjustment of $3,138. That is,

Translation adjustment = -$3,138

b. Assume that on October 1,2017, Board entered into a forward exchange contract to hedge the net investment in this subsidiary. On that date, Board agreed to sell 200,000 kites in three months at a forward exchange rate of $0.76/1 kite. Prepare the journal entries required by this forward contract.

Workings:

w.1: Translation adjustment = Number of kites agreed to sell in three months * (Agreed exchange rate on October 1, 2017 per kite - Exchange rate on December 1, 2017) = 200,000 * (0.76 - 0.75) = $2,000

w.2: Foreign Currency (kites) = Number of kites agreed to sell in three months * Agreed exchange rate on October 1, 2017 per kite = 200,000 * 0.76 = $152,000

c. Compute the net translation adjustment for Board to report in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the year 2017 under this second set of circumstances.

This can be calculated as follows:

Net translation adjustment = Negative translation adjustment in part a + Positive translation adjustment in part b (i.e. w.1) = -$3,138 + 2,000 = -$1,138

Therefore, net translation adjustment is -$1,138.

In your own words, assess the process of international strategy, competencies, planning, and international competitive advantage.

Answers

Explanation:

An international strategy can be understood as the set of processes and action plans that a company will implement to achieve its objectives in an external market.

An organization decides to internationalize its activities with the objective of conquering a different market that can bring different competitive and financial benefits to the company.

To be successful, the organizational strategy must comprise the set of requirements that must be followed to include itself in a different market, such as, for example, the set of policies that will guide the operation of the business.

In addition, it is necessary to plan its activities in such a way that they are in line with the fundamental requirements of the country, such as multicultural norms, values, tastes, preferences, etc.

Companies generally use internationalization as a competitive strategy, since this can be an effective means of reducing costs, due to the cheaper labor and the less bureaucratic process. A well-positioned brand also guarantees a differential that adds to the ease of an organization being successful in the process of conquering new markets.

1. A research project began with the selection of women who had recently had abdominal surgery. The project matched those women with controls and continued with measurements of abdominal muscle strength for both groups every three months for a year. This project was: A. Prospective study B. Retrospective study C. Experimental study D. Cross sectional study

Answers

Answer:

Abdominal rectus diastasis is a condition where the abdominal muscles are separated by an abnormal distance due to widening of the linea alba causing the abdominal content to bulge. It is commonly acquired in pregnancies and with larger weight gains. Even though many patients suffer from the condition, treatment options are poorly investigated including the effect of physiotherapy and surgical treatment. The symptoms include pain and discomfort in the abdomen, musculoskeletal and urogynecological problems in addition to negative body image and impaired quality of life. The purpose of this review was to give an overview of treatment options for abdominal rectus diastasis.

Results: The first treatment step is physiotherapy. However, evidence is lacking on which regimen to use and success rates are not stated. The next step is surgery, either open or laparoscopic, and both surgical approaches have high success rates. The surgical approach includes different plication techniques. The recurrence and complication rates are low, complications are minor, and repair improves low back pain, urinary incontinence, and quality of life. Robotic assisted surgery might become a possibility in the near future, but data are still lacking.

Conclusions: Evidence on what conservatory treatment to use is sparse, and more research needs to be done. Both open and laparoscopic surgery have shown positive results. Innovative treatment by robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery has potential, however, more research needs to be done in this area as well. An international guideline for the treatment of rectus diastasis could be beneficial for patients and clinicians.

The customer has been declared legally incompetent which means that he should not be making decisions that have to do with something as serious as trading instructions as he will not be able to comprehend them.

The only person that should therefore take over such roles would be his daughter who is a legal guardian. As she is not his guardian, she is able to take such decisions for him and so the trading instructions should be accepted only from the daughter.

A firm has a long-term debt-equity ratio of .4. Shareholders’ equity is $1 million. Current assets are $200,000, and the current ratio is 2. The only current liabilities are notes payable. What is the total debt ratio?

Answers

Answer:

Total debt ratio is 33.33%

Explanation:

A long term debt to equity ratio of 0.4 tells that the value of long term debt is 0.4 or 40% of the value of the equity. If the value of the equity is $1 million, the value of long term debt is,

Long term debt = 0.4 * 1000000 = $400000

A current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities. It tells how many current assets are available to satisfy $1 of current liabilities. A current ratio of 2 means that for every $1 of current liability, $2 of current assets are available. Thus, current liabilities are half of current assets. If the value of current assets is $200000, the value of current liabilities is,

Current liabilities = 200000 * 1/2  = $100000

Total liabilities = 400000 + 100000 = $500000

A debt ratio is calculated by dividing the value of total debt or total liabilities by the value of total assets.

Total assets = total liabilities + total equity

Total assets = 500000 + 1000000

Total assets = $1500000 or $1.5 million

Total debt ratio = 500000 / 1500000

Total debt ratio = 1/3 or 0.3333 or 33.33%

Answers

Answer:

Net operating income= $5,800

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $98 per unit

Sales= 11,000 units

Variable cost per unit= (5*3) + (2.5*18) + (2.5*11) + 2.7= $90.2

Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 80,000 per month

Contribution margin income statement:

Sales= 98*11,000= 1,078,000

Total variable cost= (90.2*11,000)= (992,200)

Contribution margin= 85,800

Fixed costs= (80,000)

Net operating income= 5,800

The estimated Net operating income for February should be considered as the $5,800.

Giving that:

Selling price per unit is $98.Sales in February is 11,000 units.Fixed selling and administrative expense per month is $80,000.

Calculation of the estimated net operating income;

Variable cost / unit =  ( 5 [tex]\times[/tex] 3 ) + ( 2.5 [tex]\times[/tex] 18 ) + ( 2.5 [tex]\times[/tex] 11 ) + 2.7

= $90.2

Now, we calculate contribution margin,

Total Sales value = $98 [tex]\times[/tex] 11,000 =  $1,078,000

Total variable cost = $90.2 * 11,000 = $992,200

Contribution margin = Total Sales value - Total variable cost

= $1,078,000 - $992,200

= $85,800

Now, we can calculate net operating income by using following formula,

Net operating income = Contribution margin - Fixed selling and administrative expense

Net operating income = $85,800 - $80,000

Net operating income= 5,800

A loan is being amortized by means of level monthly payments at an annual effective interest rate of 8%. The amount of principal repaid in the 12th payment is 1000 and the amount of principal repaid in the tth payment is 3700. Calculate t.

Answers

Answer:

Option D. 216

Explanation:

The value of "t" can be calculated using the compounding formula given as under:

Principal Amount * (1 + r)^(t-n)/n   =  Future Value

Here

Principal Amount is $1,000

r is 8%

n is the number of payment which is 12th here

Future Value is $3,700

By putting values, we have:

$1,000 * (1 + 8%)^(t-12)/12 = $3,700

(1.08)^ (t-12)/12 = 3.7

By taking natural log on both sides:

(t-12)/12 = 17

t = 216

As this is a manufacturing company, they are exempt of Accumulated earnings tax of the amount of $250,000. Anything above that will be subject to an Accumulated Earnings tax rate of 20%.

Accumulated Earnings tax = 20% * (450,000 - 250,000)

Accumulated Earnings tax = 20% * 200,000

Accumulated Earnings tax = $40,000

The following data relate to the direct materials cost for the production of 50,000 automobile tires: Actual: 725,000 lbs. at $3.00 per lb. Standard: 730,000 lbs. at $2.95 per lb. a. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the material price variance is shown below:

= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)

= 725,000 × ($2.95- $3)

= 725,000 × $0.5

= $36,250 unfavorable

b. The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:

= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

= $2.95 × (730,000 - 725,000)

= $2.95 × 5,000

= $14,750 favorable

And, the total direct material cost variance is

= Material price variance + material cost variance

= $36,250 unfavorable + 14,750 favorable

= $21,500 unfavorable

An investor with a balanced domestic portfolio who is looking for diversification and returns in the event that U.S. markets do not continue to expand, would be most interested in investing in which of the following?

a. Equities in Emerging Markets
b. Equities in U. S. companies with international appeal
c. Equities in U. S. companies involved in exports of their products
d. Equities in Italian wine exporting companies

Answers

Answer:

Option A, Equities in Emerging Markets, is the right answer.

Explanation:

A person who is not interested to invest in the U.S market or company then will not prefer the U.S companies for their diversification because the economic contraction in the U.S will affect these companies. He will be willing to invest in the equities in the emerging market. Moreover, he will not invest only in the foreign company because it will not provide him with the diversification. Therefore, the option “a” is correct.

Answer:

The Pros and Cons of Roth IRA and the Traditional IRA or 401(K):

Roth IRA is not advantageous to those, who are starting to save late in their career.  It favors the younger worker, who is starting out with low-paying jobs at lower-paying tax rates, who will later be earning more.

With Roth IRA, you suffer the tax burden upfront when you are active and while making your contributions, so that you can enjoy your retirement benefits tax-free.  This is why the younger worker benefits more.  In the prime of life with little responsibilities, you can settle the taxman so that you can be free of him later in older age.  But, if you are in the high tax bracket, this category is not funny for you, anyway.  The IRS has an income limit for this category, therefore, you must go for the traditional IRA.

The traditional IRA saves you the tax burden initially, but you can never be free of the IRS.  It must take its share later, having allowed you to enjoy tax-free contributions.  When the net is filled, the IRS cuts its percentage off.

You will never feel bad then, because your tax rate will surely be reduced in comparison with when you are making the contributions.  So, it is just and right to allow the IRS, who generously helped you to grow the nest in the first place to take its just and lawful cut.  It does not bleed too much then, afterall you are drying up with life's responsibilities, including reduced tax bracket, and many of your children have started answering to the IRS independently.  This is the better time to deal with IRS, anyway.

Explanation:

The question has the explanation:  ROTH IRAs are retirement funds that allow you to pay taxes on your investments into retirement funds as you are making the contributions, so that you are free to make your withdrawals after at least 5 years without paying additional taxes.

The traditional IRAs or the 401(K) encourage you to make your retirement contributions without paying taxes on them so that you can contribute more.  Then the IRS will bounce on you to pay the taxes when you are making withdrawals having grown the investments.

IRAs mean Individual Retirement Accounts which individuals use to save and accumulate their retirement funds.
