Answers

Answer:

Zachary Electronics

Zachary should continue to make the containers.  It is cheaper to make than to buy from Russo Container Company.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production units = 9,100 containers

Unit-level materials                $ 6,400

Unit-level labor                          6,400

Unit-level overhead                  3,800

Total unit-level costs            $16,600

Product-level costs*                 8,400

Allocated facility-level costs  28,000

Relevant or avoidable costs:

Unit-level materials                $ 6,400

Unit-level labor                          6,400

Unit-level overhead                  3,800

Total unit-level costs            $16,600

Product-level costs*                 2,800 ($8,400 * 1/3)

Total relevant costs =          $19,400 (to make)

Relevant cost to buy:

Offer from Russo Container company = $2.70 per container

Total cost from outside supplier = $24,500 ($2.70 * 9,100)

An owner lists her home at a 7% commission rate and wants to net $45,000 after paying the mortgage balance of $68,000 and the broker's commission. To the nearest dollar, what should the selling price be to net her $45,000

Answers

Answer: $121505

Explanation:

Let the selling price be represented by x.

Then the broker's commission will be:

= 7% of x = 0.07 × x = 0.07x

Based on the information given,

Selling price - (Mortgage balance + Broker's commission) = $45000

Therefore, x - ($68000 + 0.07x) = $45000

x - $68000 - 0.07x = $45000

x - 0.07x = $45000 + $68000

0.93x = $113000

x = $113000/0.93

x = $121505

Therefore, the selling price is $121505

Baden Company manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $100 and a unit sales price of $176. Fixed manufacturing costs were $480000 when 10000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1000 units at $140 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows:

a. Income would decrease by $8,000.
b. Income would increase by $8,000.
c. Income would increase by $140,000.
d. Income would increase by $40,000.

Answers

Answer:

d. Income would increase by $40,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the acceptance of the special order would affect net the income

Net income=(Additional unit price*Additional units)-(Variable cost *Additional units

Let plug in the formula

Net income = ($140× 1,000)-($100×1,000)

Net income= $140,000-$100,000

Net income=$40,000 Increase

Therefore If the company has sufficient capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows Income would increase by $40,000

Under absorption costing, which of the following costs would not be included in finished goods inventory? a.overtime wages paid to factory workers b.the salaries for salespeople c.hourly wages of assembly worker d.straight-line depreciation on factory equipment

Answers

Answer:

b.the salaries for salespeople

Explanation:

Absorption costing is the method of costing that tries to itemise all factors that are used in manufacturing a product. These include direct materials, direct labour, and overhead.

However there is no provision for items under contributing margin (that is costs that are derived from sales revenue). Such costs can include salaries of sales people that are taken out of sales revenue.

Other items such as overtime wages paid to factory workers, hourly wages of assembly worker, and straight-line depreciation on factory equipment are all included in absorption costing

Dr. Interst Expense $19,979.32

Dr. Premium on Bond $1,620.68

Cr. Cash $21,600

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the premium on bond amortization as follow

Premium on bond amortization = Coupon Payment - Interest Expense

Premium on bond amortization = ( $480,000 x 8% x 6/12 ) - ( $499,483  x 8% x 6/12 )

Premium on bond amortization = $21,600 - $19,979.32

Premium on bond amortization = $1,620.68

Joshua borrowed $1,400 for one year and paid $70 in interest. The bank charged him a service charge of $12. If Joshua repaid the loan in 12 equal monthly payments, what is the APR? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.)
APR %

Answers

Answer: 10.81%

Explanation:

The annual percentage rate is the percentage cost of credit on yearly basis.

APR will be calculated

= [(2 x n x I) /( P x ( N + 1)]

where,

n = number of months = 12

I = Finance cost = Interest + service charge = $70 + $12 = $82

P = Borrowed amount = $1,400

N= Loan period = 12

We'll then slot the values into the annual percentage rate (APR) formula and this will be:

= ( 2 x n x I) /( P x ( N + 1))

= ( 2 x 12 x 82) /( 1400 x ( 12 + 1))

= 0.1081

=10.81 %

Mordica Company’s standard labor cost per unit of output is $22.00 (2.00 hours x $11.00 per hour). During August, the company incurs 2,340 hours of direct labor at an hourly cost of $9.90 per hour in making 1,300 units of finished product.

Required:
Compute the total, price, and quantity labor variances.

Answers

Solution :

Total labor variance = [(standard rate x standard hours) - (actual rate x actual hours)]    

                               = [$11 x (1300 x 2)] - ($9.90 x 2340)

                               = $28600 - $23166

                               = $ 5434 unfavorable

Labor price variance = ( standard rate - actual rate) x actual hours

                                   = ($11.00 - $9.90) x 2340

                                   = $ 1.1 x 2340

                                   = $2574 favorable

Labor quantity variance = standard x (standard hours - actual hours)

                                       = $11.00 x [(1300 x 2) - 2340]

                                       = $11.00 x (2600 - 2340)

                                       = $11.00 x 260

                                       = $2860 unfavorable

An owner can lease her building for $160,000 per year for three years. The explicit cost of maintaining the building is $55,000, and the implicit cost is $70,000. All revenues are received, and costs borne, at the end of each year. If the interest rate is 5 percent, determine the present value of the stream of:_______.
a. Accounting profits.
b. Economic profits.

Answers

Answer:

a. Accounting profits.

Account profit = Revenue - explicit cost

= 160,000 - 55,000

= $105,000

Present value of $105,000 per year for 3 years is:

= 105,000 * Present value interest factor of an Annuity, 3 years, 5%

= 105,000 * 2.7232

= $285,936

b. Economic profit

Economic profit = Revenue - explicit cost - implicit cost

= 160,000 - 55,000 - 70,000

= $35,000

Present value of $35,000 per year for 3 years:

= 35,000 * Present value interest factor of an Annuity, 3 years, 5%

= 35,000 * 2.7232

= $95,312

c. Pug Tech will protect its intellectual property with patents and trade secrets.
d. Globex is most concerned with securing first-mover advantages.

Answers

Answer: c. Pug Tech will protect its intellectual property with patents and trade secrets.

Explanation:

A closed innovation model means that the company develops the product internally instead of through collaboration with external sources.

Pug Tech will therefore produce new products internally. As a result, they will be able to protect these products from being copied by others through patents and trade secrets because the law will recognize that they have exclusive rights to the new technology seeing as they came up with it.

Answers

Answer:

the  no of pools need to be produced is 29,500 units

Explanation:

The computation of the no of pools need to be produced is given below:

= Ending finished goods inventory units + number of units sold - beginning finished goods inventory units

= 29500 units.

Hence, the  no of pools need to be produced is 29,500 units

Consider the last purchase of two goods by a consumer. A bag of chips costs $1.75 and the marginal utility is 20. A cup of chili costs $2.50. What must the marginal utility of chili be for the consumer to maximize total utility

Answers

Answer:

The marginal utility of chili must be 28.57 for the consumer to maximize total utility.

Explanation:

The marginal utility of chili at which the consumer maximizes total utility can be calculated as follows:

Let:

CCHIP = Cost of a bag of chips = $1.75

MUCHIP = Marginal utility of a bag of chips = 20

CCHILI = Cost of a cup of chili = $2.50

MUCHILI = Marginal utility of a cup of Chili = ?

The condition for the utility maximization of the consumer is as follows:

MUCHIP / CCHIP = MUCHILI / CCHILI ……………………………. (1)

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for MUCHILI, we have:

20 / 1.75 = MUCHILI / 2.50

(20 / 1.75) * 2.50 = MUCHILI

MUCHILI = 28.57

Therefore, the marginal utility of chili must be 28.57 for the consumer to maximize total utility.
