Answer:
Ending work-in-process inventory is $19,037.50
Explanation:
First Determine the Equivalent Units in ending work-in-process inventory in terms of direct materials and conversion costs
Direct materials ( 500 units × 100%) = 500 units
Conversion costs (500 units × 65%) = 325 units
Then determine the Value of ending work-in-process inventory
Direct materials ( 500 units × $15) = $ 7,500.00
Conversion costs (325 units × $35.50) = $ 11,537.50
Total = $19,037.50
Conclusion
Therefore, ending work-in-process inventory is $19,037.50
Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8% based on the rate of return it must pay its owners and creditors. Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to determine the best decisions for making capital outlays.
In 2017 Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now has. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they do require considerable maintenance. The backhoe operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new backhoes.
The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes.
Old Backhoes New Backhoes
Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000
Salvage value now $42,000
Investment in major overhaul needed in next year $55,000
Salvage value in 8 years $15,000 $90,000
Remaining life 8 years 8 years
Net cash flow generated each year $30,425 $43,900
Required:
1. Evaluate in the following ways whether to purchase the new equipment or overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.)
a. Using the net present value method for buying new or keeping the old
b. Using the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.)
c. Comparing the profitability index for each choice.
d. Calculate the internal rate of return for the new and old blackhoes.
e. Comparing the internal rate of return for each choice to the required 8% discount rate.

Becton Labs, Inc., produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared using an elaborate distilling process. The company has developed standard costs for one unit of Fludex, as follows: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 2.50 ounces $ 22.00 per ounce $ 55.00 Direct labor 0.90 hours $ 16.00 per hour 14.40 Variable manufacturing overhead 0.90 hours $ 2.00 per hour 1.80 Total standard cost per unit $ 71.20 During November, the following activity was recorded related to the production of Fludex: Materials purchased, 14,000 ounces at a cost of $289,800. There was no beginning inventory of materials; however, at the end of the month, 4,050 ounces of material remained in ending inventory. The company employs 26 lab technicians to work on the production of Fludex. During November, they each worked an average of 150 hours at an average pay rate of $15.00 per hour. Variable manufacturing overhead is assigned to Fludex on the basis of direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead costs during November totaled $5,000. During November, the company produced 3,900 units of Fludex. Required: 1. For direct materials: a. Compute the price and quantity variances. b. The materials were purchased from a new supplier who is anxious to enter into a long-term purchase contract. Would you recommend that the company sign the contract
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation is shown below:
Material price variance
= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)
= 14,000 × ($22 - $289,800 ÷ 14,000)
= 14,000 × ($22 - $20.70)
= 14,000 × $1.30
= $18,200 favorable
Material quantity variance
= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)
= $22 × (3,900 units × 2.5 - 14,000 ounces - 4,050 ounces)
= $22 × (9,750 - 9,950)
= $22 × 200
= $4,400 unfavorable
b. Yes the contract should be signed as it is the actual price i.e $20.70 is less than the standard price $22

$3,300/180 months x 6 months
= $110.00
Therefore the amount of its amortization expense for 2018 will be $110.00
Southern Alliance Company needs to raise $70 million to start a new project and will raise the money by selling new bonds. The company will generate no internal equity for the foreseeable future. The company has a target capital structure of 60 percent common stock, 15 percent preferred stock, and 25 percent debt. Flotation costs for issuing new common stock are 12 percent, for new preferred stock, 9 percent, and for new debt, 2 percent. What is the true initial cost figure the company should use when evaluating its project ?
Answer:
$88,832,487.31
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
FT = flotation cost of new debt percent × target capital debt percent + flotation cost of new common stock percent × target capital common stock percent + flotation cost of new preferred stock percent × target capital preferred stock percent
= 0.02 × 0.25+ 0.12 × 0.60 + 0.09 × 0.15
= 0.005 + 0.072 + 0.135
= 0.212
Now
True initial cost
= $70 million ÷ ( 1 - 0.212)
= $70 million ÷ 0.788
= $88,832,487.31
Blossom Co. leased machinery from Young, Inc. on January 1, 2020. The lease term was for 8 years, with equal annual rental payments of $5,800 at the beginning of each year. In addition, the lease provides an option to purchase the machinery at the end of the lease term for $1,500, which Blossom is reasonably certain it will exercise as it believes the fair value of the machinery will be at least $5,000. The machinery has a useful life of 10 years and a fair value of $43,000. The implicit rate of the lease is not known to Blossom. Blossom’s incremental borrowing rate is 9%. Prepare Blossom’s 2020 journal entries
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
1. Right of use Dr, $35,743.93
To lease liability $35,743.93
(Being lease assets and lease liability is recorded)
Working note as attached using spreadsheet
Here we debited the right of use as it increased the assets and we credited the lease liability as it also increased the liability
2. Lease liability Dr, $5,800
To Cash $5,800
(Being payment on lease liability is recorded)
Here, we debited the lease liability as it decrease the liability and we credited the cash as it decreased the asset
3. Interest expenses Dr, $2,694.95
To Lease liability $2,694.95
(Being interest expenses is recorded)
Here we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses and we credited the leased liability as it increased the liability
4. Amortization expenses Dr, $3,574.39 ($35,743.93 ÷ 10 )
To Right of use $3,574.39
(Being amortization expenses is recorded)
Here we debited the amortization expenses as it increase the expenses and we credited the right of use as it reduced the assets
Working Note
Interest expenses = (Lease liability - First lease payment) × Incremental borrowing rate
= ($35,743.93 - $5,800) × 9%
= $2,694.95

Ending WIP 36000 60 40 21,600 14,400
Total Equivalent Units 471,600 464,400
Transferred Out units are calculated by adding Opening Inventory and production started and subtracting ending inventory units.
Transferred Out units = Opening Inventory+ production started -ending inventory units
Transferred Out units =76,000 + 410,00 - 36000= 450000 units.
2. Cost Per Equivalent Units
Materials Conversion
Cost Of Opening Inventory 117,900 53600
Cost Added 613,080 294,700
Total Costs 624,980 348,300
Equivalent Units 471,600 464,400
Cost per Equivalent Unit 624980/471600 348300/464400
$ 1.33 $ 0.75
3. Cost of Ending Work In Process $ 39528
Materials = 21600 * $ 1.33= $ 28728
Conversion = 14400 * $ 0.75= $10800
We multiply the equivalent number of units with the cost per unit to find the cost.
4. Cost Of Units Transferred Out = $ 936,000
Materials = 450 000 * $ 1.33= $ 598,500

Transferred Out $ 598,500 $ 337,500
Total 627 228** 348,300
These calculated costs reconcile with the costs given in the above data.
Materials Conversion
Cost Of Opening Inventory 117,900 53600
Cost Added 613,080 294,700
Total Costs 624,980** 348,300
The difference is in the cost of materials which is actually 624,980** and we found it out to be 627 228** . This is because we rounded the Cost per Equivalent Unit of material from $ 1.325 to $1.33
If we multiply 1.325 * 471,600 we get $ 624870 which is almost the same.

In 2020, Marigold Corp., issued for $102 per share, 86000 shares of $100 par value convertible preferred stock. One share of preferred stock can be converted into three shares of Marigold's $25 par value common stock at the option of the preferred stockholder. In August 2021, all of the preferred stock was converted into common stock. The market value of the common stock at the date of the conversion was $30 per share. What total amount should be credited to additional paid-in capital from common stock as a result of the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock?
Answer:
$2322,000
Explanation:
The computation of amount credited to additional paid-in capital is shown below:-
Amount credited to additional paid-in capital = Issued per share × Number of shares) - (Number if shares × Preferred stock shares converted into three shares × Par value of common stock
= ($102 × 86,000) - (86,000 × 3 × $25)
= $8,772,000 - $6,450,000
= $2322,000
So, for computing the amount credited to additional paid-in capital we simply applied the above formula.
Teel Printing uses two measures of activity, press runs, and book set-ups, in the cost formulas in its budgets and performance reports. The cost formula for wages and salaries is $7,850 per month plus $402 per press run plus $952 per book set-up. The company expected its activity in July to be 206 press runs and 113 book set-ups, but the actual activity was 203 press runs and 112 book set-ups. The actual cost for wages and salaries in July was $196,180.
The spending variance for wages and salaries in July would be closest to
Answer:
Spending variance $100 unfavorable
Explanation:
The spending variance is the difference between the standard cost allowed for the actual activity and the actual cost of the activity
$
Standard cost allowed for the actual activity
=7,850 + (402×203) + (952×112)= 196,080

Never Forget Bakery purchased a lot in Oil City six years ago at a cost of $278,000. Today, that lot has a market value of $320,000. At the time of the purchase, the company spent $6,000 to level the lot and another $8,000 to install storm drains. The company now wants to build a new facility on that site. The building cost is estimated at $1.03 million. What amount should be used as the initial cash flow for this project?
Answer:
The amount that should be used as the initial cash flow for this project is $1,350,000
Explanation:
The amount to be used as the initial cash flow for the project comprises of estimated building cost of $1.03 million and the market worth of the lot now.
The cost six years ago of $278,000,the cost of leveling as well as the cost of installing the storm drains were long ago time and are not relevant now.

You pay $20,800 to the Laramie Fund which has a NAV of $18.00 per share at the beginning of the year. The fund deducted a front-end load of 3.00%. The securities in the fund increased in value by 12% during the year. The fund's expense ratio is 1.50% and is deducted from year end asset values. What is your rate of return on the fund if you sell your shares at the end of the year
Answer:
6.92%
Explanation:
Beginning investment fund is $20,800.
Now, fund available= Beginning fund(1-front end load)
=20,800(1-0.03)=$20176
Now, the number of shares that can be brought with the available fund
[tex}\text{Number of shares}=\frac{\text{fund available}}{NAV_{beginning}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{20176}{18}[/tex]
=1120
Now calculating closing NAV
NAV(closing)=NAV(beginning)=(1+increased%)
=$18(1+12%)=18×1.12
=$20.16
Calculate year end asset value
Year end asset value =NAV(closing)×No. of shares
=$20.16×1120=$22579.2
Value of investment after deducting the expense ratio
Closing investment value = Year end asset value×(1-expense ratio)
=$22579.2×(1-1.5%)
=$22240.512
Now,
Return on the fund =[(closing investment value)-(Beginning investment fund)]÷Beginning investment fund
=(22240.512-20800)÷20800
=0.0692
or, 6.92%
Stahlmaere Inc. is a start-up company that manufactures simple machines. It is interested in analyzing the profit from a new machine using Monte Carlo simulation. It wants to investigate the profit resulting from a selling price of $150 per unit. The setup and advertising costs are known to total $75,000. They assume that the demand for the product is normally distributed with a mean of 1500 units and a standard deviation of 100 units. The company estimates that the raw material cost per unit is uniformly distributed between $5 and $6. The labor cost per unit is assumed to follow a discrete uniform distribution from $12 to $16. A junior analyst has devised the following Excel spreadsheet that simulates a single scenario using the information given above: Selling price per unit = 150 Set up and advertising cost = 75000 Demand = =NORM.INV(RAND(),1500,100) Raw material cost per unit = =5+(6-5)*RAND() Labor cost per unit = =RANDBETWEEN(12,16) Profit = =(B1*B4)-B2-((B5+B6)*B4) Copy-and-paste the above information into cells A1:B8 of an Excel spreadsheet. Then use a data table to repeat the simulation 1000 times. From the simulation results, estimate Stahlmaere's expected mean profit. Understanding that simulation is random in nature and that your estimate is unlikely to match any of the answer choices exactly, choose the answer choice that is closest to the estimated mean profit.

The present value of $1 and present value of an annuity of $1 for different periods is presented below. Compute the net present value of the machine.Periods Present Valueof $1 at 10% Present Value of anAnnuity of $1 at 10%1 0.9091 0.90912 0.8264 1.73553 0.7514 2.48694 0.6830 3.1699
Answer:
NPV = $23,773.65
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-80,000
Cash flow each year for 1 and 2 = $35,000
Cash flow each year for 3 and 4 = $30,000
I = 10%
NPV = $23,773.65
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Suppose Mr. Lane just bought a share of BlueWind Co., a renewable energy startup. BlueWind promises to pay Mr. Lane $18 in dividends for one year and then the firm will shut down. Suppose that the liquidation value of the share is $3, and the rate of time preference is 5%. Then, according to the single-period dividend discount model, the present value of the cash payment received by Mr. Lane in one year would be
Answer:
The present value of the cash payment is $20
Explanation:
The present value of cash payment receivable by Mr Lane in one year's time is the today's equivalent amount of the dividend of $18 as well as the liquidation value of $3.
The present value is the total cash inflows multiplied by the discount factor
discount factor=1/(1+r)^n
where is the rate of time preference of 5%'
n is 1 i.e in one year's time
total cash inflows=$18+$3=$21
discount factor =1/(1+5%)^1=0.95238
present value of cash payment=0.95238*$21=$20

A financier plans to invest up to $500,000 in two projects. Project A yields a return of 9% on the investment of x dollars, whereas Project B yields a return of 17% on the investment of y dollars. Because the investment in Project B is riskier than the investment in Project A, she has decided that the investment in Project B should not exceed 40% of the total investment. How much should the financier invest in each project in order to maximize the return on her investment
Answer:
She should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.
Explanation:
Solution
Since Project B yields a higher return, she should invest as much money as possible in it, which is 40% of the total investment or
or (0.40)($500,000) = $200,000
so
The remaining $500,000 - $200,000 = $300,000 should be invested in Project A.
Therefore, she should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.

Bonnie Jo purchased a used camera (five-year property) for use in her sole proprietorship. The basis of the camera was $3,000. Bonnie Jo used the camera in her business 60 percent of the time and used it for personal purposes the rest of the time during the first year. Calculate Bonnie Jo's depreciation deduction during the first year, assuming the sole proprietorship had a loss during the year. (Bonnie did not place the property in service in the last quarter.)
Answer:
$360
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation deduction during the first year is shown below:
= Basis of the camera × given percentage × weightage
= $3,000 × 60% × 20%
= $360
Since the 60% is used for business and 40% used for personal
