Answer:
$12,000
Explanation:
Given the above information, the ending balance in inventory account is computed as seen below
= Merchandise purchased - merchandise withdrawn - Merchandise returned to suppliers + Cash discount taken
= $500,000 - $418,000 - $80,000 + $10,000
= $12,000
Therefore, the balance on the inventory account as at December 31 is $12,000
actor Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs: Direct material $ 8.60 Direct labor 24.60 Overhead 43.00 Total product cost per unit $ 76.20 An outside supplier offers to provide Factor with all the units it needs at $48.40 per unit. If Factor buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 60% of its overhead. Factor should choose to:
Answer:
Relevant cost to make = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead
Relevant cost to make = $8.60 + $24.60 + $43.00 (1-60%)
Relevant cost to make = $8.60 + $24.60 + $17.20
Relevant cost to make = $50.40
Outside supplier cost ($48.40) < Relevant cost to make ($50.40). So, Factor should choose to buy because the relevent cost is less than outside supplier cost.
Fran’s Fries has budgeted sales for May, June and July at $500,000, $680,000 and $720,000, respectively. Sales are 80% cash and 20% on account. Assume sales on account are collected in the month following the sale. Compute cash receipts for June and July. Show your work here.
Answer:
Results are below
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales are 80% cash and 20% on account.
Sales:
May= $500,000
June= $680,000
July= $720,000
Cash collection June:
Cash collection from May= (500,000*0.2)= 100,000
Cash collection June= (680,000*0.8)= 544,000
Cash collection June= $644,000
Cash collection July:
Cash collection from June= (680,000*0.2)= 136,000
Cash collection July= (720,000*0.8)= 576,000
Cash collection July= $712,000
A car dealer leases a small computer with software for $5,000 per year. As an alterative he could buy the computer for $7,500 and lease the software for $3,500 per year. Any time he would decide to switch to some other computer he could cancel software lease and sell the computer for $500.
If he buys the computer nad leases the software, what is the payback period?
a. 3 years
b. 4 years
c. 5 years
d. 6 years
If he kept the computer and software for 8 years, what would be the benefit-cost ratio, based on a 5% interest rate.
a. 1.5
b. 1.4
c. 1.3
d. 1.2
Answer:
1. The payback period is:
= 3 years
2. The benefit-cost ratio is:
= 1.1
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Leasing Computer Buying Computer &
with Software Leasing Software
Annual lease payment $5,000 $3,500
Cost of computer $7,500
Salvage value of computer $500
Usage period 8 years 8 years
Interest rate 5% 5%
Present value annuity factor 6.463 6.463
Present value factor for salvage 0.677
Present value of annuity $32,315 $29,782 ($22,621 + $7,500 - 339)
$22,782 = ($3,500 * 6.463 + $7,500 - ($500 * 0.677))
Benefit-cost ratio = $32,315/$29,782 = 1.1
g Privett Company Accounts payable $33,411 Accounts receivable 66,433 Accrued liabilities 6,512 Cash 22,494 Intangible assets 37,191 Inventory 89,982 Long-term investments 110,819 Long-term liabilities 75,872 Marketable securities 34,976 Notes payable (short-term) 29,393 Property, plant, and equipment 671,232 Prepaid expenses 1,809 Based on the data for Privett Company, what is the quick ratio, rounded to one decimal point
Answer:
1.79
Explanation:
Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventory - Prepaid expenses) / Current liabilities
Quick ratio = (Account Receivable + Cash + Marketable securities) / (Account Payable + Accrued liabilities + Notes payable)
Quick ratio = (66,433 + 22,494 + 34,976) / (33,411 + 6,512 + 29,393)
Quick ratio = $123,903 / $69,316
Quick ratio = 1.78751
Quick ratio = 1.79

Examine a product that has recently changed prices when you were at the grocery store in the past week. Analyze one determinant of supply and demand that has created the price to increase or decrease in your example. How did the change in demand or supply affect the market price in your example
Answer:
In the store the bread seemed to have a higher demand this week. When we went monday the shelfs were full of bread and the bread was 3.75 and when we went saturday it was 3.99. I think because it was in higher demand the bread went uo in cost so they wouldn't sell out.
What do we call interest on interest?
Answer:
Interest-on-interest, also referred to as 'compound interest', is the interest that is earned when interest payments are reinvested.
Unobserved effects versus idiosyncratic errors
Suppose you have two years' worth of panel data on wages and work experience of adults; however, the data set has no further information on the characteristics of the individuals in the data set. Specifically, you have cross-sectional wage and work experience data on individuals in 2006, and cross-sectional data on those same individuals in 2012. You plan to use the following fixed effects model to analyze the effects of work experience on wages:
log (wage it ) = βo + 80 yr10, + B1 experit + ai + uit
where
wage it = yearly wage of individual i at time t, in dollars
yrl0, =1 in the year 2010 (t = 2), and =0 otherwise (t = 1)
exper = years of work experience of individual i, at time t
ai = unobserved (time-invariant) effect
uit = idiosyncratic error
Two other factors that can influence wage, which you have not controlled for in your model, are height and industry of employment.
Use the following table to indicate which term in the fixed effects model captures the effect of height, which term captures the effect of industry of employment, and which term captures the effect of work experience.
ai uit β1
Work experience
Height
Industry of employment
Answer:
The terms that capture the effect of industry of employment and work experience are:
Industry of employment = uit
Work experience = β1
Height = ai
Explanation:
a) Data:
ai uit β1
Work experience
Height
Industry of employment
b) Explanation
The "idiosyncratic error" (uit) describes the unobserved factors that impact the dependent variable. For example, industry of employment, and this factor vary from one-time period to the next.
The unobserved (time-invariant) effect (ai) refers to the height of the industry of employment, which does not vary over time.
Finally, work experience is depicted by β1, which is a factor that changes with time.
What is one of the key phases of procurement processes that employ competitive bidding mechanisms?
Instead of investing a lump of sum of $25000,Brittany Royer decides to svae the money in a vault for 2years. Assuming the inflation being 2.5%per year,how much will her purchasing power decline in 2years
Answer:
$1265.63
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels
Types of inflation
1. demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise
2. cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect
Loss in purchasing value = future value of the amount saved - amount saved
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
$25000 (1.025)² = $26.265.625
Amount lost = $26.265.625 - $25,000 = $1265.63
