Sheffield Corp. determines that 53000 pounds of direct materials are needed for production in July. There are 3100 pounds of direct materials on hand at July 1 and the desired ending inventory is 2700 pounds. If the cost per unit of direct materials is $3, what is the budgeted total cost of direct materials purchases

Answers

Answer:

Budgeted total cost of Direct Material purchases ($) =$ 157,800

Explanation:

Raw material purchase budget is determined by adjusting the raw material usage budget for opening and closing inventory of materials.

Purchase budget = usage budgeted + closing inventory - Opening inventory

Material purchase budget = 53,000 + 2,700 - 3,100= 52,600  pounds

Note the closing inventory represents the stock of materials needed to be kept, hence it will increase the purchase budget. So we added.

On the other hand hands, the opening inventory represented what already existed , hence we subtracted it as it will reduce what will be required.

Material purchase budget ($) = purchase budget in quantity × standard price per quantity

Material purchase budget = 52,600 × $3 = $ 157,800

Budgeted total cost of Direct Material purchases ($) =$ 157,800

Answers

Answer:

Fontaine - $233,000Monroe - $191,000

Explanation:

Fontaine invested a building that had a value of $366,000 but the partnership assumes a $133,000 note secured by a mortgage on the property. This therefore reduces Fontaine's contribution;

= 366,000 - 133,000

= $233,000

Monroe contributed both cash and equipment so that would go to Monroe's capital account as their capital contribution;

= 108,000 + 83,000

= $191,000

d. 200% and $5.00.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimates:

                                              Department A                  Department B

Direct labour cost                        $30,000                           $40,000

Manufacturing overhead            $60,000  LH                    $50,000  MH

Direct labour hours                         6,000                                8,000

Machine hours                                2,000                               10,000

Department A:

Manufacturing overhead rate = $60,000/$30,000 x 100 = 200%

Department B:

Manufacturing overhead rate = $50,000/10,000 = $5.00

The Watts Company Department A will absorb manufacturing overhead at a rate of 200% of direct labor cost in order to arrive at an estimate of $60,000 ($30,000 x 200%).  The Department B will absorb manufacturing overhead at a rate of $5 per machine hour to arrive at an estimate of $50,000 (10,000 x $5).

Explanation:

The computation of margin, turnover, and ROI for the year is shown below:-

Margin ratio = Net income ÷ Sales

= $74,480 ÷ $520,000

= 0.1432

or

= 14.32%

Assets turnover ratio = Sales ÷ Average total assets

= $520,000 ÷ $820,000

= 0.6341

or

= 63.41%

Return on investment = Net income ÷ Average total assets

= $74,480 ÷ $820,000

= 0.0908

E) the resource fit test, the strategic fit test, the profitability test, and the shareholder value test.

Answers

Answer:

D) the attractiveness test, the cost-of-entry test, and the better-off test.

Explanation:

To judge a diversification change, an organization needs to pass the attractiveness tests, the entry cost test and the best situation test.

These tests will be decisive to analyze the potential that diversification will have to create added value for the shareholder.

The attractiveness test will list the ability that the market has to ensure that there is a safe return on investments.

The cost-of-entry will aim to ensure that when entering a new sector, the organization does not have higher costs that can influence the generation of profitability.

Finally, the better-off test will analyze whether the planned diversification will be so profitable that it will help to improve the performance of the integration of organizational businesses.

Answer: D) What is the national hourly rate for this job?

Explanation:

Job analysis is done to help an organization ascertain what kind of person would be a right fit for the job. As such, it focuses on what the job entails as well as the requirements of the job and other details like its duration. This will help a company know the kind of person that will work best in the role.

The rate that the job pays is something that the company also analyzes but this is a very secondary aspect of job analysis and so it is the least relevant here.

Answers

Answer:

The company paid a lower cost per hour for labor than allowed by the standards.

Explanation:

The labour cost variance is the difference between the standard labour cost allowed for the actual hours worked and the actual labor cost for the same hours

The labour cost variance compares the actual cost  and the standard cost for the actual labour hours paid for.

Hence , Poseidon Marine Stores Company would have paid a sum for labour cost which is lower than the standard cost.

The company paid a lower cost per hour for labor than allowed by the standards.

Due to numerous lawsuits, major chemical manufacturer has recently experienced a market reevaluation. The firm has 15-year, 8% coupon bond, paid semiannually and par value of $1,000. The required nominal rate (yield) on this debt has now risen to 10%. What is the current price of this bond?

Answers

Answer:

Bond Price = 846.2754897 rounded off to $846.28

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 0.08 * 1/2 * 1000 = $40

Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30

r or YTM = 10% * 1/2 = 5% or 0.05

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 40 * [( 1 - (1+0.05)^-30) / 0.05]  +  1000 / (1+0.05)^30

Bond Price = 846.2754897 rounded off to $846.28

Answers

Answer:

d.$4,662.40 unfavorable

Explanation:

Calculation for direct materials price variance

The first step is to find the Actual quantity variance using the formula

Actual quantity variance =Actual units produced* Actual yard used

Let plug in the formula

Actual quantity variance=9,400*4.96 yards

Actual quantity variance=$46,624

Second step is to calculate for the Direct material price variance using this formula

Direct material price variance= ( Standard price -Actual price)* Actual quantity used

Let plug in the formula

Direct material price variance=($1.93-$2.03)*$46,624

Direct material price variance=(-0.1*46,624)

Direct material price variance=-$4,662.40 Unfavorable

Therefore the Direct material price variance will be $4,662.40 Unfavorable

If there is a market with the below noted market segmentation, what would the four firm market concentration ratio be?

Distribution of sales: 30%, 3%,10%, 5%,15%, 2%, 35%

a. 10
b. 90
c. 50
d. 40

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is:

90 (b.)

Explanation:

A concentration ratio is the ratio of the combined market shares percentage held by the largest specified number of firms, compared to the given market size. The concentration ratio ranges from 0% to 100%. If the concentration ratio of an industry ranges from 0% to 50%, that industry is said to be perfectly competitive if the top 5 firms have a concentration ratio of 60% or more, oligopoly is said to occur, and if the competition ratio of one company is 100% it shows monopoly.

In our example, the concentration of the largest four market segments are:

35%, 30%, 15% and 10%

Therefore, the four firm market concentration ratio = 35 + 30 + 15 + 10 = 90    

Answer:

b. 90

Explanation:

The concentration ratio is a term in business that is measured as the total summation of the market share percentage carried by the largest specified number of companies in an industry. The concentration ratio varies between 0% to 100%, and an industry's concentration ratio is considered to demonstrates the extent of competition in the industry.

However, the four-firm concentration ratio is calculated by summing the market shares—that is, the percentage of total sales—of the four largest companies in the given market.

Hence, in this case, we have 35%, 30%, 15% and 10% as the top four largest market share. There by, summation equals => 35+30+15+10 = 90.

The excess of $600,000 was due to an unrecorded patent with a six-year life. In 2020, Ace reported net income of $250,000 and paid dividends of $25,000.

For 2020, what amount of Equity Income will Emily record? How to get the answer of 1,125,000

Answers

Answer:

$ 1,125,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of Equity Income that Emily will record

First step is to find the Net equity income using this formula

Net equity income= Net income +Dividends

Let plug in the formula

Net equity income=$250,000+$25,000

Net equity income=$225,000

Second step is to find the balance of investment using this formula

Balance of investment= (Common stock + Net equity income )- Amortization of unrecorded patent

Let plug in the formula

Balance of investment =($1,000,000+$225,000 )-($600,000/6)

Balance of investment=$1,225,000-$100,000

Balance of investment = $ 1,125,000

Therefore the amount of Equity Income that Emily will record will be $ 1,125,000

Explanation:

Goal setting is an action plan that is set to motivate someone towards achieving a goal. Individuals, organizations set goals as part of their personal development plans hence must be Specific, Measurable, Action oriented, Realistic and Timely(SMART).

With regards to the above scenario, prioritizing goals according to their value to the organization is wrong. While it is important to prioritize goals, such must however be made to align with the business's strategic objectives.

It is also important to stick to goals already set instead of constantly changing them. Sometimes too, customers put pressure on business owners to consider certain goals which might be beneficial; such should also be looked into after considering their pros and cons.

This year Burchard Company sold 37,000 units of its only product for $16.40 per unit. Manufacturing and selling the product required $122,000 of fixed manufacturing costs and $182,000 of the fixed selling and administrative costs. It?s per unit variable costs follow.

Material $4.20
Direct labor (paid on the basis of completed units) 3.20
Variable overhead costs 0.42
Variable selling and administrative costs 0.22
Next year the company will use new material, which will reduce material costs by 50% and direct labor costs by 50% and will not affect product quality or marketability. Management is considering an increase in the unit selling price to reduce the number of units sold because the factory's output is nearing its annual output capacity of 42,000 units. Two plans are being considered. Under plan 1, the company will keep the selling price at the current level and sell the same volume as last year. This plan will increase income because of the reduced costs of using the new material. Under plan 2, the company will increase the selling price by 20%. This plan will decrease unit sales volume by 5%. Under both plans 1 and 2, the total fixed costs and the variable costs per unit for overhead and for selling and administrative costs will remain the same.

A company purchased 400 units at $75 per unit. The company sold 385 units. what is the cost of goods sold and ending inventory

Answers

Answer:

Cost of goods sold $28,875

Ending inventory $1,125

Explanation:

Calculation for cost of goods sold and ending inventory

Cost of goods sold is calculated using this formula

Cost of goods sold=Sales units *Purchased per units

Let plug in the formula

Cost of goods sold=385 units *$75 per unit

Cost of goods sold=$28,875

Calculation for the ending inventory using this formula

Ending inventory=(Purchased units * purchased per unit) -Cost of goods sold

Let plug in the formula

Ending inventory=(400 units× 75 per unit) -$28,875

Ending inventory=$30,000-$28,875

Ending inventory=$1,125

Therefore the Cost of goods sold will be $28,875 while the Ending inventory will be $1,125

Required:
Compute the following financial ratios for 2016 and 2017.

Answers

Answer:

Answers are calculated below

Explanation:

Financial ratios can be calculated according to their formulas. Both formulas and calculation are as follows

CURRENT RATIO

Current ratio = Current assets/current liabilities

Current ratio (2016) = $360,000/$250,000

Current ratio (2016) = 1.44

Current ratio (2017) = $450,000 / $300,000

Current ratio (2017) = 1.50

ACID RATIO

Acid ratio = (Current asset - inventory)/current liabilities

Acid ratio (2016) = (360,000 - 165,000)/250,000

Acid ratio (2016) = 0.78

Acid ratio (2017) = (450,000-225,000)/300,000

Acid ratio (2017) = 225,000/300,000

Acid ratio (2017) = 0.75

INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO

Inventory turnover ratio = cost of good Sold / Average inventory

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) =  864,000/(360,000 ÷2)

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 864,000/180,000

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 4.80

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / ( 390,000 ÷ 2)

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / 195,000

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 5.25

DAYS SALE IN RECEIVABLE

Days sale in receivable = 365/Average receivable turnover ratio

Days sale in receivable (2016) = 365/ 12.67(w1)

Days sale in receivable (2016) = 28.81 days

Days sale in receivable (2017) =365/11.7(w1)

Days sale in receivable (2017) = 31.20 days

Working 1

Account receivable turnover ratio = Sales/ Average receivable

Account receivable turnover ratio (2016) = 1,752,000/138,288(w2)

Account receivable turnover ratio = 12.67 times

Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 1,642,500/140,351(w2)

Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 11.7 times

Working 2

Average receivable = (Opening + Closing) /2

Average receivable (2016) = (132,000 + 144,576) /2

Average receivable (2016) = 138,288

Average receivable (2017) = (144,576 +136,125 ) /2

Average receivable (2017) = 140,351

Suppose that in a competitive output market, firms hire labor from a competitive labor market (so that the profit maximization conditions for hiring labor are as we discussed in class). If the supply of this kind of labor increases, we would expect a(n) _____________.

B. an increase in W and a decrease in L.

C. A decrease in W and a decrease in L.

D. A decrease in W and no change in L.

E. None of the above.

Answers

Answer:

e

Explanation:

When supply of labour increases, the supply curve shifts outward. As a result there would be an increase in equilibrium quantity but a decrease in wages

The credit terms 2/10, n/30 are interpreted as: Multiple Choice 2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance due in 30 days. 30% discount if paid within 2 days. 2% discount if paid within 30 days. 30% discount if paid within 10 days. 10% cash discount if the amount is paid within 2 days, or the balance due in 30 days.

Answers

Answer:

The credit terms 2/10, n/30 are interpreted as:

2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance due in 30 days.

Explanation:

I will explain using an example:

On January 2, the company sells $1,000 worth of goods with credit terms 2/10, n/30.

January 2

Dr Accounts receivable 1,000

    Cr Sales revenue

If the client pays within the discount period:

January 11

Dr Cash 980

Dr Sales discounts 20

    Cr Accounts receivable 1,000

If the client pays after the discount period but before 30 days:

January 31

Dr Cash 1,000

    Cr Accounts receivable 1,000

The credit terms 2/10, and n/30 are interpreted as a 2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance is due in 30 days. Thus, option A is the correct option.

Trade credits like 2/10 net 30 are frequently provided by suppliers to purchasers. It stands for an agreement that if payment is made within 10 days, the buyer would get a 2% reduction on the net invoice amount. Otherwise, you have 30 days to pay the entire invoice amount.

It's a common way to express an early payment discount. In accounting, the discount amount and the window of availability are typically represented using a formula like 2/10, n/30. This implies that if the invoice is paid in full within ten days, a 2% reduction is applied; otherwise, the full amount is owed.

Answer:

Interest expense = $8453

Explanation:

We can calculate Bond interest expense by multiplying Carrying value of the bond with the effective interest rate and the period of time,

DATA

Carrying value of bond = $169,056

Effective interest rate = 10%

Period of time = 6 months

Interest expense =?

Calculation

Interest expense = Carrying value x Effective interest rate x Time period

Interest expense = $169,056 x 10% x [tex]\frac{6months}{12months}[/tex]

Interest expense = $8453

Rollins Corporation is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20% debt, 20% preferred stock, and 60% common equity. Its bonds have a 7.5% coupon, paid semi-annually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for $1,105.78. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock which pays a 8% annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Rollins' beta is 1.8, the risk-free rate is 2.45%, and the market risk premium is 5%. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
A. What is the companyâs cost of preferred equity?
B. What is the companyâs cost of common equity?
C. What is the companyâs WACC?

Answers

Answer:

A. What is the company's cost of preferred equity?

8.42%

B. What is the company's cost of common equity?

11.45%

C. What is the company's WACC?

9.31%

Explanation:

20% debt ⇒ after tax cost of debt 3.76%

20% preferred stock ⇒ 8.42%

60% common equity ⇒ 11.45%

in order to determine the after tax cost of debt we must first determine the yield to maturity of debt:

approximate YTM = {37.5 +[(1,000 - 1,150.78)/40]} / [(1,000 + 1,150.78)/2] = 33.7305 / 1,075.39 = 3.3166% x 2 = 6.2732%

after tax cost of debt = 6.2732% x 0.6 = 3.76%

cost of preferred stocks = 8 / (100 x 0.95) = 8 / 95 = 8.42%

cost of equity (Re) = 2.45% + (1.8 x 5%) = 2.45% + 9% = 11.45%

WACC = (60% x 11.45%) + (20% x 8.42%) + (20% x 3.76%) = 6.87% + 1.684% + 0.752% = 9.306% = 9.31%

Firm J has net income of $77,605, sales of $935,000, and average total assets of $467,500. Required: Calculate Firm J’s margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROI).

Answers

Answer:

Firm J's margin= 8.3%

Firm J's turnover= 2

Firm J's ROI= 16.6%

Explanation:

Form J has a net income of $77,605

The sales is $935,000

The average total assets is $467,500

Firm J's margin can be calculated as follows

Margin= Net income/sales

= $77,605/$935,000

= 0.083×100

= 8.3%

Firm J's turnover can be calculated as follows

Turnover= Sales/Average Total assets

= $935,000/$467,500

= 2

Firm J's return on investment can be calculated as follows

ROI= Net income/Average Total assets

= $77,605/$467,500

= 0.166×100

= 16.6%

Hence Firm J's margin, turnover and return on investment is 8.3%, 2 and 16.6% respectively.
