Answer:
For $2,000 to be withdrawn from the margin account, the oil futures price must be $62.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Price of the long futures contract to buy 4,000 barrels of oil = $62.50 per barrel
Initial margin = $62.50 * 4,000
b) If the futures price is fixed at $62 per barrel and the initial margin per barrel already opened with a broker is $62.50, then the security investor can withdraw $2,000 ($0.50 * 4,000) from the margin account. This will result in an excess of $0.50 per barrel. Computationally, $0.50 * 4,000 = $2,000.

Suppose that the reason the jewelry was brand new and at such a bargain price online was because the seller actually stole the jewelry. If the jewelry were stolen, what type of title would Hugo hold when he purchased the jewelry
Answer: d. Void.
Explanation:
The seller stole the jewelry and so does not hold any legal title to the jewelry in the first place. The seller cannot therefore pass something that they do not possess which means that Hugo did not get a title.
Hugo's supposed title is therefore void which means that should the real owner of the jewelry ever find out that he has it, they can simply come back and claim it without needing to pay Hugo for it.

Question 3 4 Marks Mi Tierra Driving School charges $680 per student to prepare and administer written and driving tests. Variable costs of $408 per student include trainers’ wages, study materials, and gasoline. Annual fixed costs of $63,920 include the training facility and fleet of cars. Requirements 1. For each of the following independent situations, calculate the contribution margin per unit and the breakeven point in units by first referring to the original data provided: a. Breakeven point with no change in information. b. Decrease sales price to $544 per student. c. Decrease variable costs to $340 per student. d. Decrease fixed costs to $53,040.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $680
Unitary variable cost= $408
Fixed cost= $63,920
To calculate the contribution margin and break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
a:
Unitary contribution margin= 680 - 408= $272
Break-even point in units= 63,920 / 272
Break-even point in units= 235
b:
Unitary contribution margin= 544 - 408= $136
Break-even point in units= 63,920 / 136
Break-even point in units= 470
c:
Unitary contribution margin= 680 - 340= $340
Break-even point in units= 63,920 / 340
Break-even point in units= 188
d:
Unitary contribution margin= 680 - 408= $272
Break-even point in units= 53,040 / 272
Break-even point in units= 195
On January 1, James Industries leased equipment to a customer for a four-year period, at which time possession of the leased asset will revert back to James. The equipment cost James $700,000 and has an expected useful life of six years. Its normal sales price is $700,000. The residual value after four years is $100,000. Lease payments are due on December 31 of each year, beginning with the first payment at the end of the first year. The interest rate is 5%. Calculate the amount of the annual lease payments.
Answer:
$174,207.19
Explanation:
Amount to be recovered (Fair value) = $700,000.....A
PV of residual value = $100,000 * PVIF of $1(5%, 4) = $100,000 * 0.82270 = $82,270.........B
Amount to be recovered through periodic lease payments = A - B = $700,000 - $82,270 = $617,730
Annual lease payment = Amount to be recovered through periodic lease payments / PV of ordinary annuity of $1(5%, 4)
Annual lease payment = $617,730 / 3.54595
Annual lease payment = $174207.194123
Annual lease payment = $174,207.19
So, the amount of the annual lease payments is $174,207.19.

(a) Determine the total contribution margin in dollars, the per unit contribution margin, and the contribution margin ratio Contribution margin in dollars 5 Contribution margin per unit $ Contribution margin ratio %
Answer:
a) We have:
Total contribution margin in dollars = $24,180
Per unit contribution margin = $39
Contribution margin ratio = 30%
b) We have:
Break-even point in dollars = $54,600
Break-even point in in units = 420 units
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as its part b is missing. The part b of the question is therefore provided to complete it before answering it as follows:
b) Using the contribution margin technique, compute the break-even point in dollars and in units.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
a) Determine the total contribution margin in dollars, the per unit contribution margin, and the contribution margin ratio
Average price = $130
Variable costs = Average price * 70% = $130 * 70% = $91
Total sales = Number of clients * Average price = 620 * $130 = $80,600
Total variable cost = Total sales * 70% = $80,600 * 70% = $56,420
Therefore, we have:
Total contribution margin in dollars = Total sales - Total variable cost = $80,600 - $56,420 = $24,180
Per unit contribution margin = Average price - Variable costs = $130 - $91 = $39
Contribution margin ratio = (Total contribution margin in dollars / Total sales) * 100 = ($24,180 / $80,600) * 100 = 30%
b) Using the contribution margin technique, compute the break-even point in dollars and in units.
Break-even point in dollars = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = $16,380 / 30% = $54,600
Break-even point in in units = Fixed cost / Per unit contribution margin = $16,380 / $39 = 420 units

Suppose that Jeremiah was unfairly terminated before his employment contract expired, and he had to spend $500 to find another job. His job search expenditures would be considered _____ damages.
Answer:
Incidental damages
Explanation:
In a situation where an employer doesn't fulfill a contract agreement with an employee, just like in the question above, where Jeremiah was unfairly terminated before his employment contract expired, he has the right to collect "damages" which is legal compensation for financial losses caused by the termination of his employment contract before it expired. Incidental damage is the answer because Jeremiah incurred expenses where he had to spend $500 to find another job as a result of the employer's breach of the contract.

The cost of the ending inventory $11,050 $8,500 $10,200
The cost of goods sold $24,950 $27,500 $25,800
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning inventory 100 units $10,000 $100
Purchase of 200 units 26,000 $130
Total units available for sale = 300 $36,000
Ending inventory - 85 units
Units sold = 215 units
Weighted-average cost per unit = $120 ($36,000/300)
FIFO:
Cost of goods sold = $24,950 ($36,000 - $11,050)
Ending inventory = $11,050 (85 * $130)
LIFO:
Cost of goods sold = $27,500 ($36,000 - $8,500)
Ending inventory = $8,500 (85 * $100)
Weighted-average:
Cost of goods sold = $25,800 (215 * $120)
Ending inventory = $10,200 (85 * $120)
One year ago, Richard purchased $1,260 worth of Double GG Corporation common stock for $42 per share. During the year, Richard received two dividend payments, each equal to $.05 per share. The current market value of the stock is $44 per share. What yield did Richard earn on his investment during the year
Answer:
Yield earned by Richard on his investment during the year is 5%.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Number of shares purchased = Worth of common stock one year ago / Price per share one year ago = $1,260 / $42 = 30 shares
Total dividend received during the year = Number of shares purchased * Dividend per share * 2 = 30 * $0.05 * 2 = $3
Current worth of common stock = Number of shares purchased * Current market value per share = 30 * $44 = $1,320
Yield earned during the year = (Current worth of common stock - Worth of common stock one year ago + Total dividend received during the year) / Worth of common stock one year ago = ($1,320 - $1,260 + $3) / $1,260 = 0.05, or 5%
Therefore, yield earned by Richard on his investment during the year is 5%.

Identify the inventory costing method best described by each of the following separate statements. Assume a period of increasing costs. results in
a. Results in the highest cost of goods sold.
b. Yields the highest net income.
c. Has the lowest tax expense because of reporting the lowest net income.
d. Better matches current costs with revenues,
e. Precisely matches the costs of items with the revenues they generate.
Answer:
LIFO is a form of inventory costing that assumes that more recent stock is sold first and early stock sold last. FIFO is the opposite of this and believes earlier stock is sold first and later stock is sold last.
Weighted average uses a weighted price for all available stock and specific identification uses the exact cost of the inventory.
a. Results in the highest cost of goods sold. ⇒ LIFO
This is LIFO because the closing stock that is subtracted from the cost of goods sold will be earlier stock and as costs are rising, it will be lower than the purchases.
b. Yields the highest net income. ⇒ FIFO
Because FIFO gives a lower Cost of goods sold as opposed to LIFO, it gives a higher income.
c. Has the lowest tax expense because of reporting the lowest net income.⇒ LIFO
Reports lowest income due to high cost of goods sold.
d. Better matches current costs with revenues. ⇒ LIFO
LIFO uses the current inventory which would reflect the current cost of inventory so it matches current costs with revenue.
e. Precisely matches the costs of items with the revenues they generate. ⇒ Specific Identification.
Uses the exact cost of the inventory so precisely matches costs.
Paul, the Director of Recruitment at an insurance company, finds that the company has a disparate impact on the proportion of Hispanic employees compared to the proportion of Hispanics in the labor market. Which of the following steps should Paul take to solve the problem most efficiently?
a) He should lower the job specifications for Hispanic applicants.
b) He should continue using the current recruiting practices because only organizations with affirmative action plans are required to meet EEO guidelines.
c) He should start advertising for job openings on the local Spanish radio station.
d) He should freeze the hiring process until qualified Hispanics apply for vacant positions
Answer: c) He should start advertising for job openings on the local Spanish radio station.
Explanation:
This realization by Paul should make him want to hire more Hispanics into the company and the best way to do so would be to advertise it in such a way that Hispanics have a better chance of hearing about job openings.
Advertising on Spanish radio would ensure that Hispanics hear the advertisements because they are the main ethnicity that speaks Spanish. This will give them an edge in learning about job openings and enable Paul to hire more Hispanics.

Recently. Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics:
Number of units in the job 10
Total machine-hours
Direct materials
Direct labor cost $ 580 $1,160
The total job cost for Job T687 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculation to 2 decimal places)
Answer:
$1960
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost is shown below:
Total variable overhead estimated is
= (4 × 31400)
= $125600
Now
total overhead estimated is
= Total variable overhead estimated + Total fixed overhead estimated
= $125600 + 219800
= $345400
Now predetermined overhead rate is
= $345400 ÷ 31400
= $11 per machine hour
Now total overhead applied is
= (11 × 20)
= $220
So, total job cost is
= Direct material + Direct labor + Total overhead
= (580+1160+220)
= $1960

3) Elsa can expect to break even (neither gain nor lose money).
Answer:
a. 0.75
b. elsa can expect to gain money. 0.75$
Explanation:
x = 1/6 = 0.166667
given an outcome of 1,
1$ win * 0.166667 = 0.166667
given an outcome of 2,
$2 win * 0.166667 = 0.33333
given an outcome of 3,
$3 win*0.166667 = 0.5

given an outcome of 5,
-$0.5 * 0.166667 = -0.083333
given an outcome of 6,
-$0.5 * 0.166667 = -0.083333
The expected value of playing the game = 0.166667+0.333333+0.5-0.083333-0.083333-0.083333
= 0.750001

Blake Company purchased two identical inventory items. The item purchased first cost $34.00, and the item purchased second cost $35.00. Blake sold one of the items for $64.00. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The dollar amount assigned to ending inventory will be the same no matter which cost flow method is used.
B. Gross margin will be higher if Blake uses LIFO than it would be if FIFO were used.
C. Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used.
D. Cost of goods sold will be higher if Blake uses FIFO than if weighted average were used.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold
Weighted average is the average cost of the inventories bought over a period
If FIFO is used, ending inventory would be $35.
If weighted average is used , ending inventory = (34 +35) / 2 = $34.50
Thus, ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used
Gross margin = gross profit / revenue
If FIFO was used . gross margin = (64 - 34) / 64 = 0.469
If LIFO was used . gross margin = (64 - 35) / 64 = 0.453
Gross margin will be lower if Blake uses LIFO than it would be if FIFO were used.
Assume the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion, when using the weighted-average method, are 5,200 units and 5,000 units, respectively. If the equivalent units in ending work in process inventory for materials and conversion are 400 units and 200 units, respectively, then what is the total cost of ending work in process for the Milling Department
Answer:
$39520
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost of ending work in process for the Milling Department is given below:
But before that the equivalent cost per unit is
Material = $301600 ÷ 5200
= $58 per unit
And,
Conversion = $408000 ÷ 5000
= $81.60 per unit
So,
Ending Work in Process = 400 × $58 + 200 × $81.60
= $39520
