Answer:
unit cost for 2,000 units=$115
unit cost for 2,500 units =$113
unit cost for 5,000 units= $109
Explanation:
Absorption costing is method of costing where overheads are charged to units produced using volume-based bases. e.g machine hours, labour hours e.t.c. Units are valued using full cost per unit
Full cost per unit= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + Variable production overhead + Fixed production overhead
Fixed production overhead = Budgeted overhead/Budgeted production units
unit cost for 2,000 units
unit cost = 41 + 57 + 7 + (20,000/2000) = $115
unit cost for 2,500 units
unit cost = 41 + 57 + 7 + (20,000/2,500)= $113
unit cost for 5,000 units
unit cost = 41 + 57 + 7 + (20,000/5,000) = $109
unit cost for 2,000 units=$115
unit cost for 2,500 units =$113
unit cost for 5,000 units= $109
A stock has had the following year-end prices and dividends: Year Price Dividend 1 $ 43.37 - 2 48.35 $ .60 3 57.27 .63 4 45.35 .80 5 52.27 .85 6 61.35 .93 What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
geometric mean return = 1.2%
arithmetic mean return = 1.21%
Explanation:
Year Price Dividend Yearly return
1 $43.37 - 0
2 $48.35 $0.60 1.24%
3 $57.27 $0.63 1.1%
4 $45.35 $0.80 1.76%
5 $52.27 $0.85 1.63%
6 $61.35 $0.93 1.52%
geometric mean return = [(1 + 0) x (1 + 0.0124) x (1 + 0.011) x (1 + 0.0176) x (1 + 0.0163) x (1 + 0.0152)]¹/⁶ - 1 = 1.012 - 1 = 0.012 = 1.2%
arithmetic mean return = (0% + 1.24% + 1.1% + 1.76% + 1.63% + 1.52%) / 6 = 7.25% / 6 = 1.21%
What is the yield to maturity on a bond that pays annual coupon rate of 14%, has a par value of $1,000, matures in 10 years, and is selling for $911?
Answer:
Yield to Maturity =15.6%
Explanation:
The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond
The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:
YM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)
YM-Yield to maturity-
C- annual coupon
F- Face Value
P- Current Price
n- number of years
DATA
Coupon = coupon rate × Nominal value = 1,000 × 14%=140
Face Value = 1000
YM-?, C- 140, Face Value - 1,000, P-911 , n- 10
YM = (140 + (1000-911)/10) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 911) )
YM = 0.156 × 100 = 15.6%
Yield to Maturity =15.6%
The annual report for Malibu Beachwear reported the following transactions affecting stockholders’ equity:a. Purchased $350,100 of common stock now held in treasury.b. Declared cash dividends in the amount of $260,050.c. Paid the dividends in (b).d. Issued 101,000 new shares of $0.10 par value common shares for $2 per share.e. Closed the Dividends account.Required:Indicate the effect (+ for increase, − for decrease, +/− for increase/decrease) of each of these transactions on total assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity.
Answer:
Malibu Beachwear
Indication of the effect (+ for increase, − for decrease, +/− for increase/decrease) of each of these transactions on total assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity:
a. Purchased $350,100 of common stock now held in treasury.
Assets (-$350,100) = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity (-$350,100)
b. Declared cash dividends in the amount of $260,050.
Assets = Liabilities (+$260,050) + Shareholders' Equity (-$260,050)
c. Paid the dividends in (b).
Assets (-$260,050) = Liabilities (-$260,050) + Shareholders' Equity
d. Issued 101,000 new shares of $0.10 par value common shares for $2 per share.
Assets (+$202,000) = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity (+$202,000)
e. Closed the Dividends account.
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity
Explanation:
a. The purchase of common stock held in treasury implies that Malibu Beachwear bought its own shares from investors and paid cash. The recording of the transaction involves a reduction in Cash (Assets) and Shareholders' Equity with the creation of Treasury Stock Account. The treasury stock account is a contra account to the Common Stock account and the balance is deducted from the Shareholders' Equity in the balance sheet.
b. By declaring cash dividends, Malibu Beachwear is returning to its stockholders part of the assets that belong to them. This transaction reduces the Shareholders' Equity (Retained Earnings) and increases the liabilities with Dividends Payable in the sum of $260,050 respectively.
c. The payment of the cash dividend by Malibu reduces the Assets (Cash) and the Liabilities (Dividends Payable) in the sum of $260,050.
d. The issue of 101,000 new shares of $0.10 par value for $2 per share by Malibu Beachwear increases its Assets (Cash) with the sum of $202,000 (101,000 x $2) and the Shareholders' Equity (Common Stock with $10,100 and Additional Paid-in Capital- Common Stock with $191,900).
e. Closing the dividends account does not affect the accounting equation. Instead, it affects the Income Summary (Statement of Retained Earnings) to which the account is closed.
f. The accounting equation of Assets = Liabilities + Equity is an important feature of the double-entry system of bookkeeping and financial accounting. The equation implies that every transaction affects the two sides of the equation since two or more accounts are involved. Where it does not affect the two sides, it implies that one side is affected twice or more. This equation keeps the assets and liabilities + equity sides in balance at all times. It also implies that Malibu Beachwear for every transaction, will have the assets equal the liabilities or equity.

Dustup, a cleaning products company, was trying to revive its old wood floor waxing product. It began offering an augmented service of a small brochure called "Ask a Wood Floor Expert" to its bottles. The brochure included information and a customer support hotline. However, shoppers removed the brochure from bottles in the store, so few bottles were purchased. At the same time, Dustup began receiving a flood of calls to its hotline. This increased Dustup’s costs 30% over projections. What question did the company forget to ask before launching its add-on?
Answer:
Dustup forgot to the consumers if the add-on will give them more satisfaction from using their product.
Explanation:
The market is always king. Getting first-hand information about what consumers need and how they need it is the best way to go about creating a product or modifying an existing one to become more profitable.
The removal of the brochures from the bottles showed that shoppers didn't necessarily want their product. What they wanted was to be able to make contact with the company and get more information on how to revive their old wooden floors.
Cheers!

On January 1, a company issued and sold a $300,000, 5%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $293,000. Interest is payable each June 30 and December 31. The company uses the straight-line method to amortize the discount. The carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is:
Answer: $293,350
Explanation:
The carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment will be the addition of the received proceed and the ammortized discount. This will be:
= $293,000 + $350
= $293,350
Note that the ammortized discount was calculated as:
= ($300000 - $293000)/20
= $7000/20
= $350
rancis Inc.'s stock has a required rate of return of 10.25%, and it sells for $87.50 per share. The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.00% per year. What is the expected year-end dividend, D1
Answer:
$3.72
Explanation:
Francis incorporation stock has a required rate of return of 10.25%
The stock is sold at $87.50 per share

Variable cost per unit=$2.50
Note: Based on the information given we were told that production tripled to its highest level which means the high method units will be 15,000 units (5,000 units*3)
Therefore Fremont would estimate its variable cost per unit as: $2.50
Bandar Industries Berhad of Malaysia manufactures sporting equipment. One of the company’s products, a football helmet for the North American market, requires a special plastic. During the quarter ending June 30, the company manufactured 3,400 helmets, using 2,346 kilograms of plastic. The plastic cost the company $15,484. According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.64 kilograms of plastic, at a cost of $7.00 per kilogram. Required: 1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,400 helmets? 2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 3,400 helmets? 3. What is the materials spending variance? 4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?
Answer:
1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,400 helmets?
3,400 helmets x 064 kgs per helmet = 2,176 kgs
2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 3,400 helmets?
2,176 kgs x $7 per kg = $15,232
3. What is the materials spending variance?
$15,484 - $15,232 = $252 unfavorable (because total expenditures on materials were higher than budgeted)
4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?
materials price variance = [($15,484/2,346) - $7] x 2,346 = -$938 favorable (the purchase price per kg was lower than budgeted)
materials quantity variance = (2,346 - 2,176) x $7 = $1,190 unfavorable
Alternate Outputs from One Day's Labor Input: USA: 12 bushels of wheat or 3 yards of textiles. India: 3 bushels of wheat or 12 yards of textiles. From the data, the USA:________.
a) has an absolute advantage over India in the production of wheat.
b) should export textiles to India.
c) has an absolute advantage over India in the production of textiles.
d) has a comparative advantage in the production of textiles.
Answer: a) has an absolute advantage over India in the production of wheat.
Explanation:
When a country is said to have an Absolute advantage in the production of a commodity, it means that they can produce more of that commodity than the country being compared to given the same amount of resources, all else being equal.
Given one day's labor input, the US can produce 12 bushels of wheat while India can only manage 3 bushels. The United States therefore has an Absolute advantage in the production of Wheat than India.

Depreciation expense $1,600
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) 2,700
Interest expense 367
Net profits after taxes 1,400
Tax rate | 40%
Required
a. Calculate the firm's net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) for the year ended December 31, 2015
b. Calculate the firm?s operating cash flow (OCF) for the year ended December 31, 2015
c. Calculate the firm?s free cash flow (FCF) for the year ended December 31, 2015
d. Interpret, compare, and contrast your cash flow estimates in parts b and c.
Answer:
a. NOPAT = EBIT * (1-t)
NOPAT = $2,700 * (1-0.40)
NOPAT = $1,620
b. OCF = NOPAT + Depreciation
OCF = $1,620 + $1,600
OCF = $3,220
c. FCF = Net fixed asset investment - Net current asset investment
FCF = $3,320 - $1,400 - $1,400
FCF = $420
Note:
Net fixed asset investment = Change in net fixed assets + depreciation
= ($14,800- $ 15,000) + $1,600
= $1,400
Net current asset investment = Change in current assets - Change in accounts payable and accurals
= ($8,200 - $6,800) - {($1,600 + $200) - ($1,500 - $300)}
= $1,400
d. FCF is meaningful as it shows that OCF is able to cover Operating expenses as well as Investment in Fixed and Current Assets

Kansas Enterprises purchased equipment for $73,500 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a five-year service life, with a residual value of $6,450 at the end of five years. Using the double-declining balance method, depreciation expense for 2022 would be
Answer:
The answer is $17,640
Explanation:
Equipment was bought on Jan. 1, 2022 for $73,500. This is the historical cost of the asset.
Residual value is $6,450. This is the amount the equipment is being expected to sell for at the end of its useful life.
Useful life is 5 years.
To know the percentage to be used for the depreciation, we have:
100percent / 5 years
= 20 percent
Double-declining is 40 percent(20 percent x 2)
Depreciation for 2021 is
$73,500 x 40 percent
= $29,400.
Carrying amount at the end of 2021 which will also be for the beginning of 2022 is $44,100 ($73,500 - $29,400)
Depreciation for 2022:
$44,100 x 40 percent
$17,640.
Therefore, the depreciation for 2022 is $17,640.
True or False: The more that the labor supply decreases in response to a decrease in wages, the larger are the supply-side effects of an increase in tax rates (that is, the decrease in output is largerdue to a tax increase).
Answer:

A publisher is deciding whether or not to invest in a new printer. The printer would cost $900, and would increase the cash flows in year 1 by $500 and in year 3 by $800. Cash flows do not change in year 2.If the interest rate is 12% Is the investment in the new printer feasible?
Answer:
Yes, since NPV>0
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below:
= Present value of cash inflows - initial investment
where,
Present value of cash inflows is
= $500 ÷ (1 + 0.12)^1 + $800 ÷ (1 + 0.12)^3
= $446.43 + $569.42
= $1,015.85
And the intial investment is $900
So, the net present value is
= $1,015.85 - $900
= $115.85
Since the net present value comes in positive so the investment in new printer is feasible
You manufacture wine goblets. In mid- June you receive an order for 10,000 goblets from Japan. Payment of ¥400,000 is due in mid- December. You expect the yen to rise from its present rate of $1=¥107 to $1 to ¥120 by December 2020. You can borrow yen at 6% a year. What should you do?
Answer:
I will borrow yen at 6% a year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Payment for 10,000 = ¥400,000
Spot rate = $1 = ¥107
Forward rate = $1 to ¥120
Borrow ¥400,000, the interest cost = ¥24,000 = $224.30/2 (¥24,000/107) = $112.15 for six months
Value of ¥400,000 borrowed in dollars = $3,738.32 (¥400,000/107)
Loan Repayment of ¥400,000 in dollars = $3,333,33 (¥400,000/120)
Gain from forward contract = $404.99
Interest cost for borrowing = 112.15
Overall debt hedging gain = $292.84
By borrowing yen at 6% per annum, you will make an overall gain of $292.84. This is not comparable to the foreign exchange loss of $404.99 that you will incur without borrowing yen. Taking advantage of the the debt hedging, the supplier is able to save foreign exchange loss.
2. Suppose that you have 2 buyers and one item for sale. The first buyer values your product at $10, and the second buyer values your product at $6. You estimate that the probability of getting the high value customer is 40%. Your marginal costs are $3. You have only one chance to sell your item to these buyers. What is your optimal price and expected profit
Answer:
Price at $6, Profit = $3
Explanation:
When price is $ 10:
Profit = $10 - $3 = $7
But there is 40% chance of high valued customer
So, profit = $7 X 0.40 = $2.8
When price is $6
Profit = $6 - $3 = $3
Ray's Satellite Emporium wishes to determine the best order size for its best-selling satellite dish (model TS111). Ray has estimated the annual demand for this model at 1,500 units. His cost to carry one unit is $80 per year per unit, and he has estimated that each order costs $22 to place.
Using the EOQ model, how many should Ray order each time?
Answer:
28.72 units
Explanation:
Calculation of how many should Ray order each time using EOQ model
Using this formula
EOQ= √2DS/H
Where,
D=Annual demand 1,500 units
S=Order costs $22
H=Holding Costs $80 per unit
Let plug in the formula
EOQ=√2*1,500*$22/$80
EOQ=√66,000/$80
EOQ=√825
EOQ=28.72 units
Therefore Using the EOQ model, Ray should order 28.72 units each time.
Ben and Jerry were shareholders of Water Ice Inc., an S corp. On Jan. 1, 1998, Ben owned 40 shares and Jerry owned 60 shares. Ben sold his shares to Joe for $10,000 on March 31, 1998. The corp. reported a $50,000 loss at the end of 1998.
How much of the loss is allocated to Joe?
A. $20,000
B. $15,060
C. $12,500
D. $10,000
Answer: $15,060
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Ben and Jerry were shareholders of Water Ice Inc., an S corp. On Jan. 1, 1998, Ben owned 40 shares and Jerry owned 60 shares.
We are further told that Ben sold his shares to Joe for $10,000 on March 31, 1998 and that the corp. reported a $50,000 loss at the end of 1998. The loss that will be allocated to Joe will be:
= $50,000 × 40% × 9/12
= $50,000 × 0.4 × 0.75
= $15,000
The closest figure we have close to that is $15,060 which is option B

A company sold equipment that originally cost $290,000 for $145,000 cash. The accumulated depreciation on the equipment was $145,000. The company should recognize a:
Answer:
$0 gain/loss
Explanation:
A company sold an equipment that originally cost $290,000 for $145,000
The accumulated depreciation on the equipment was $145,000
The first step is to calculate the book value of the equipment
Book value of the equipment= Cost of equipment-accumulated depreciation
= $290,000-$145,000
= $145,000
Therefore, the gain/loss on the equipment can be calculated as follows
= Selling price-book value
= $145,000-$145,000
= 0
Hence there is no recognized gain or loss on the equipment
Answer:
Company would recognize a no loss or gain on the disposal i.e Nil
Explanation:
The gain or loss on disposal is the difference between the carrying value of an assets at the point of disposal and the the disposal value.
Gains/(Loss)= Disposal value - carrying value
The carrying value is the difference between the historical cost and the accumulated depreciation till date.
Carrying value = Historical cost - Accumulated depreciation till date
Carrying value = 290,000 - 145,000 = 145 ,000
Gains/Loss= 145,000 - 145,000 = 0.
Company would recognize a no loss or gain on the disposal i.e Nil
Tyler Corporation is a wholesaler that sells a single product. Management has provided the following cost data for two levels of monthly sales volume. The company sells the product for $127.20 per unit. Sales volume (units) 5,000 6,000 Cost of Sales $419,000 $502,800 Selling and Administrative costs $186,000 $202,200 The best estimate of the total contribution margin when 5,300 units are sold is: Group of answer choices $230,020 $51,410 $146,810 $32,330
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company sells the product for $127.20 per unit.
Sales volume (units) 5,000 6,000
Cost of Sales $419,000 $502,800
First, we need to determine the unitary variable cost:
unitary variable cost= 419,000/5,000= $83.8
unitary variable cost= 502,800/6,000= $83.8
Now, the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= 127.2 - 83.8= $43.4
Finally, the total contribution margin:
total contribution margin= 5,300*43.4= $230,020
The best estimate of the total contribution margin when 5,300 units are sold is option A $230,020.
Total Contribution Margin
To Calculate the Contribution Margin, we need to find the value of the unitary variable cost, and their margin. We are provided with these information:
Selling price $127.20 per unit.
Sales volume 5,000, & 6,000
Cost of Sales $419,000 & $502,800
To find the value of Total Contribution margin:
Step 1: Unitary Variable Cost= 419,000/5,000= $83.8
Step 2: Unitary Variable Cost= 502,800/6,000= $83.8
Step 3: Unitary Contribution Margin= 127.2 - 83.8= $43.4
Step 4: Total contribution margin when 5300 units are sold= 5,300×43.4= $230,020.
Hence, option A is correct.

Answer:
Avoidable costs
Explanation:
An avoidable cost is defined as one that an entity will not incur if a particular activity is not undertaken.
In business operations avoidable costs are usually variable costs. These are costs that vary or change in the cost of production. For example wages, cost of raw materials, and labour. These can be avoided depending on business needs.
Costs that are not avoidable are fixed cost. For example rent, insurance, and utilities.
These costs are paid wether production occurs or not.
