What is the materials spending variance? 4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?
Answers
Answer:
Bandar Industries Berhad of Malaysia
1. The standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,100 helmets is:
= 2,015
2. The stand materials cost allowed (SQ * SP) is:
= $14,105
3. The materials spending variance is:
= $626 U
4. The materials price variance is:
= $893 F
The materials quantity variance is:
= $1,519 U
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of helmets manufacturing = 3,100
Units of direct materials used = 2,232 kilograms
Actual unit of direct materials used = 0.72 kilograms (2,232/3,100)
Cost of direct materials = $14,731
Unit cost of direct materials = $6.60 ($14,731/2,232)
Standard costs per kilogram = $7.00
Standard units of direct materials = 0.65 kilograms
1. The standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,100 helmets = 2,015 (3,100 * 0.65)
2. The stand materials cost allowed (SQ * SP) = $14,105 (2,015 * $7.00)
3. The materials spending variance = $626 U ($14,731 - $14,105)
4. The materials price variance = standard price - actual price * actual quantity used
= $7.00 - $6.60 * 2,232
= $893 F
The materials quantity variance = standard quantity - actual quantity * standard price
= 2,015 - 2,232 * $7
= $1,519 U
Taggart Transcontinental hs a market cap of $4.5 billion, total enterprise value (including net debt) of $8 billion, an equity beta of 1.1, and a debt beta of 0.10. Your estimate of the asset beta for Taggart Transcontinental is closest to: A) 0.42 B) 0.59 C) 0.66 D) 0.71 E) 1.1
Answers
Answer:
C) 0.66
Explanation:
Market capitalization = $4.5 billion
Total enterprise value = $8 billion
Total Debt = ($8 billion - $4.5 billion) = $3.5 billion
Weight of Equity = $4.5 billion/$8 billion = 0.5625
Weight of debt = $3.5 billion / $8 billion = 0.4375
Beta of Debt = 0.10
Beta of Equity = 1.1
Asset Beta = 0.5625*1.1 + 0.4375*0.10
Asset Beta = 0.6625

Rule-based monetary policy advocates often assert that discretionary monetary policy can be motivated by politics. The tax multiplier is always larger than the government spending mult
Answers
Answer:
The tax multiplier is always larger than the government spending multiplier
Explanation:
As we know that
Tax multiplier = mpc ÷ (1 - mpc)
Here mpc means marginal propensity to consume
And,
Government spending multiplier= 1 ÷ (1 - mpc)
So based on this the government spending multiplier should always be more than the tax multiplier

Answers
Answer:
$4,303.68
Explanation:
Quarterly payment = $10,000 / 32.835 (PVIFA, 1%, 40 periods) = $304.55
After 6 years, the principal due = $4,483
Present value of an annuity = payment x PVIFA = $304.55 x 14.13126 (PVIFA, 1.5%, 16 periods) = $4,303.68
The difference is not significant since the remaining payments are not many, and the increase in quarterly rate is only 0.5%

Answer:

Explanation:
Hey there! For this question, we will be using the COGS and SG&A formulas.
Basic Formula: Revenue - COGS - SG&A = Pretax profits
How do you calculate the SG&A?
Well, SG & A = (Contribution - Prextax income)
SG & A = ($400,000 - $125,000)
SG & A= $275,000
What's next?
Now, you must calculate for revenue.
Contribution margin/Revenue = Contribution Margin Ratio
Revenue = Contribution Margin/Contribution Margin Ratio
Revenue = $400,000/.25
Revenue = $1.1m
Now, let's use the COGS formula.
COGS: Starting inventory + purchases - ending inventory = cost of goods sold
Revenue - COGS - SG&A = Pretax profits
1.1m - COGS - 400k = 125k
COGS = $1.1m - $125k - $400k
Final answer: 1.100 Million (1,000,000)

The family members could have earned $10,000 working at other occupations. Refer to Scenario 13-21. What is the economic profit for the family farm
Answers
Answer:
0
Explanation:
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
accounting profit = revenue - explicit cost
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business.
100,000 - (25,000 + 40,000 + 25,000) = 10,000
economic profit = 10,000 - 10,000 = 0
In an inventory control system, the annual demand is 12,000 units, the ordering cost is GHS 30 per order and the inventory holding cost is GHS 3.00 per year. The order quantity is 1000 units and the cost per unit of the item is GHS 150. What is the total cost per year?
Answers
Answer:
Total cost per year = $1,801,860
Explanation:
Given:
Annual demand = 12,000 units
Ordering cost = $30 per order
Inventory holding cost = $3 per year
Order quantity = 1000 units
Cost per unit of the item = $150
Find:
Total cost per year
Computation:
Total cost per year = Purchase cost + Order cost + Inventory holding cost
Total cost per year = [12,000 x 150] + [12,000/1000 x 30] + [1,000/2 x 3]
Total cost per year = 1,800,000 + 360 + 1500
Total cost per year = $1,801,860
The net asset value of shares in a closed-end investment company is $36. An investor buys the shares for $34 in the secondary market. The company distributes $1 and after one year, the net asset rises to $42. The investor sells the shares for $43 in the secondary market. What is the percentage return on the investment
Answers
Answer:
Closed-End Investment Company
The percentage return on the investment is:
= = 29.41%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net asset value of share = $36
Price paid by an investor = $34
Dividend distributed = $1
Net asset value after one year = $42
Selling price in the secondary market by the investor = $43
Total amount realized by the investor = $44 ($43 + $1)
Cost of investment = $34
Dollar return on the investment = $10 ($44 - $34)
Percentage return on the investment = Return on investment/Cost of investment * 100
= $10/$34 * 100
= 29.41%

An individual has $30,000 invested in a stock with a beta of 0.7 and another $70,000 invested in a stock with a beta of 1.2. If these are the only two investments in her portfolio, what is her portfolio's beta? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answers
Answer:
1.05
Explanation:
Beta measures systematic risk. Systemic risk are risk that are inherent in the economy. They cannot be diversified away.
The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors
The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio
weighted beta of a stock = percentage of the stock in the portfolio x beta of the stock
total value of the portfolio = $30,000 + $70,000 = $100,000
percentage of stock A in the portfolio = $30,000 / $100,000 = 0.30
percentage of stock B in the portfolio = $70,000 / $100,000 = 0.70
weighted beta of stock A = 0.30 x 0.7 = 0.21
weighted beta of stock B = 0.70 x 1.2 = 0.84
Portfolio beta = 0.21 + 0.84 = 1.05

Answers
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $0.5 per inspection
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The costs ranged from $4,400 for 1,400 inspections to $4,200 for 1,000 inspections.
To calculate the variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:

A friend has $1,400 that he has saved from his part-time job. He will need his money, plus any interest earned on it, in six months and has asked for your help in deciding whether to put the money in a bank savings account at 5.90% interest or to lend it to Victor. Victor has promised to repay $1,470 after six months.
Required:
a. Calculate the interest earned on the savings account for six months.
b. Calculate the rate of return if the money is lent to Simone. Round your percentage answer to two decimal places.
c. Which alternative would you recommend? Explain your answer.
Answers
Answer:
a. The interest earned on the savings account for six months is:
= $41.30
b. The rate of return if the money is lent to Victor is:
= 10%
c. Based on the calculations alone, lending the $1,400 to Victor is better than saving in the bank, provided that there is no risk of default on the part of Victor.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Savings from part-time job = $1,400
Interest rate in a bank savings account = 5.90%
Period of savings in the bank = 6 months
Future value of the $1,400 savings = $1,441.30
Victor repayment if $1,400 was instead lent to him = $1,470
From a financial calculator, the future value of $1,400 at 5.9% after six months is $1,441.30
Loan Amount 1400
Loan Term 0 years 6 months
Interest Rate 5.9
Compound Semi-annually
Pay Back 6 Months after
Results:
Payment Every 6 Months = $1,441.30
Total of 1 Payments = $1,441.30
Total Interest = $41.30
Interest paid by Victor = $70 ($1,470 - $1,400)
This translates to 5% for six months and 10% for 1 year
5% = ($70/$1,400 * 100)

Answers
Answer:
a. 2 bidders $2,750
b. 10 bidders $3,750
c. 100 bidders $3,975
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what your optimal bidding strategy in a first-price, sealed-bid auction when the total number of bidders (including you) is:
Using this formula
Optimal bidding = Bidder's own valuation - (Bidder's own valuation - Lowest valuation) ÷ Number of bidders
Let plug in the formula
a) 2 bidders
Optimal bid = $4,000 - [($4,000 - $1,500) ÷ 2]
Optimal bid = $4,000 - ($2,500÷2)
Optimal bid = $4,000 - $1,250
Optimal bid = $2,750
b) 10 bidders
Optimal bid = $4,000 - ($4,000 - $1,500) ÷ 10
Optimal bid = $4,000 - ($2,500÷10)
Optimal bid = $4,000 -$250
Optimal bid =$3,750
c) 100 bidders
Optimal bid = $4,000 - ($4,000 - $1,500) ÷ 100
Optimal bid = $4,000 - ($2,500÷100)
Optimal bid = $4,000-$25
Optimal bid = $3,975
Therefore your optimal bidding strategy in a first-price, sealed-bid auction when the total number of bidders (including you) is:
a. 2 bidders $2,750
b. 10 bidders $3,750
c. 100 bidders $3,975

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Purchase of a used computer server on May 11, 2012 = $6,000
Since the server is a used one, we assume a four-year useful life
Salvage value = $500
Assumed useful life = 4 years
Depreciable amount = $5,500 ($6,000 - $500)
Since the firm does not take the Section 179 Deduction, which would have allowed it to expense the whole depreciable amount this 2012, the depreciation expense for the first year is calculated as follows:
Annual depreciation expense, using the straight-line method = $1,375
For 2012, the firm's maximum deduction for depreciation will be:
= $917 ($1,375 * 8/12) (covering the months from May 11 to December 31)
An increase in interest rates will help increase the future value of a portfolio because the cash flows produced by the portfolio: a. will increase the maturity value of the bond. b. will decrease the yield to maturity of the bond. c. can be used to recall high-rate bonds. d. can be reinvested at higher rates of return. e. will generate cash to pay future coupon interest.
Answers
Answer:
d. can be reinvested at higher rates of return.
Explanation:
Option d. can be reinvested at higher rates of return.
The interest rates on the portfolio is the yield that a person receives on his investment. This yield he gets periodically, therefore amount received can be used to generate further yields by reinvesting it into higher interest paying investments.
