Computing absorption costing gross profit
Refer to your answers to Short Exercise S21-6. Product X sells for $175 per unit. Assume no beginning inventories. Calculate the gross profit using absorption costing when Adamson:
a. Produces and sells 2,000 units.
b. Produces 2,500 units and sells 2,000 units
c. Produces 5,000 units and sells 2,000 units.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a lot of information is missing, so I looked for a similar question that can help you understand this one:

Variable costs (including direct labor, direct materials and variable overhead) = $80 per units

Fixed overhead = $150,000

a) If Adamson produces 2,000 units, the total cost per unit = $80 + ($150,000 / 2,000) = $80 + $75 = $155

gross profit = total sales revenue - total cogs = (2,000 x $175) - (2,000 x $155) = $350,000 - $310,000 = $40,000

b) If Adamson produces 2,500 units, the total cost per unit = $80 + ($150,000 / 2,500) = $80 + $60 = $140

gross profit = total sales revenue - total cogs = (2,000 x $175) - (2,000 x $140) = $350,000 - $280,000 = $70,000

c)  If Adamson produces 5,000 units, the total cost per unit = $80 + ($150,000 / 5,000) = $80 + $30 = $110

gross profit = total sales revenue - total cogs = (2,000 x $175) - (2,000 x $110) = $350,000 - $220,000 = $130,000

Answers

Answer:

c.$27,284.90 unfavorable

Explanation:

Standard variable overhead rate                     =$27.00

Standard hours allowed per completed unit  =4.3

Actual production unit                                      =971

Actual variable overhead costs                       =$140,018

Variable factory overhead controllable variance = (Standard variable overhead rate * Standard hours allowed per completed unit * Actual production unit) - Actual variable overhead costs

Variable factory overhead controllable variance = ($27 * 4.3 * 971) - $140,018

Variable factory overhead controllable variance = $112,733.1 - $140,018

Variable factory overhead controllable variance = $27,284.9 (Unfavorable)

Suppose you observe the following situation: Security Beta Expected Return Pete Corp. 1.80 .190 Repete Co. 1.49 .163 a. Assume these securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the expected return on the market? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the risk-free rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

a. 12.03%

b. 3.32%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + [Beta × Risk premium]

Let us assume Risk free rate of return be x and Risk premium be y

Now the equations are as follows

For Pete Corp

19 = x + 1.80y ...................... (1)

For Repete Corp

16.3 = x + 1.49y .....................(2)

Now Solving (1) and (2)

After solving we get

y = 8.70967741935

x = 3.3225806452

i.e Risk free rate = x = 3.32%

And, the Risk premium = 8.70967741935%

So,

Expected return on market = Risk free rate + Risk premium

= 3.3225806452 + 8.70967741935

= 12.03%

A customer buys 1,000 shares of XYZ at $60 in a margin account, regular way settlement. Two days after the trade, XYZ has dropped to $40. The minimum maintenance margin requirement is:

Answers

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

A customer buys 1,000 shares of XYZ

The shares are bought at $60 in a margin account

Two days after the price of XYZ drops to $40

The first step is to calculate the current market value

= 1,000 shares×$40

= $40,000

Therefore, the minimum maintenance margin requirement can be calculated as follows

= 25/100 × current market value

= 25/100 × 40,000

= 0.25×40,000

= $10,000

Hence the minimum maintenance margin requirement is $10,000

Duff Inc. paid a 2.34 dollar dividend today. If the dividend is expected to grow at a constant 1 percent rate and the required rate of return is 11 percent, what would you expect Duff's stock price to be 4 years from now?

Answers

Answer:

$24.60

Explanation:

The computation of the price for 4 years from now is shown below:

Price = Dividend ÷(Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Dividend is

= Dividend × (1 + growth rate)^number of years

= $2.34 × (1 + 0.01)^5

= $2.46

All the other items would remain the same

So, the price is

= $2.46 ÷ (11% - 1%)

= $24.60

Angie Pereira and Ferro Schwartz are employees of Free Star, Inc. In February 2019. Angie's gross pay was $6000, and Ferro's gross pay was $7400. All earnings are subject to FICA-OASDI Tax of 6.296 and FICA--Medicare Tax of 1.4596. Which of the following would be included in the entry to record the salaries expense for February?
A. a credit to Salaries Expense for 5830.80
B. a credit to FICA-OASDI Taxes Payable for $830.80
C. a debit to FICA-Medicare Taxes Payable for $830.80
D. a debit to Salaries Payable to employees for $830.80

Answers

Answer:

B. a credit to FICA-OASDI Taxes Payable for $830.80

Explanation:

Free Star, Inc. In February 2019.

Angie's gross pay was $6000,

Ferro's gross pay was $7400

Total gross pay $ 13400

FICA-OASDI Tax  6.296 %

$ 13400 * 6.2% = $ 830.80

The recording of the journal entry would require a debit to FICA tax and credit to FICA tax payable .

The FICa tax is 6.2 % which equals to $ 830.80 of the two gross pays.

All the other three options are incorrect.

Answers

Answer:

 1.1 The ratio from the list below which measures the efficiency of the operations of a company is D - Total Asset Turnover Ratio.  

Explanation:

Total Asset Turn Over Ratio is calculated by dividing Net Sales by Average Total Assets.

For example, if company CDH is reporting a value of $499,650 as initial total assets and $387,656 as ending total assets. Within the same period, the company generated sales of $250,655, with sales returns of $17,000.

This means that, the asset turnover ratio for Company CDH is calculated as follows:

($250,655-$17,000)/(($387,656+$499,650)/2)

The answer is 0.52667

Thus, every dollar in total assets generates $0.52667 in sales.

Efficiency ratios are important for rating the operations of the business. They are also used by investors and lenders when conducting financial analysis of businesses to decide whether the companies are a good investment.

1.2 The component which summarises the components applicable in 1.1 is D Total Asset Turnover          

2. Working capital is the variance between current assets and current liabilities.

. This is simply the capital that an organisation uses in its day-to-day business operations.

3.   The short-term liquidity ratios which calculate how frequently a company collects its accounts are:

A) Days' sales Uncollected and

C) Accounts receivable turnover.

A) Days' sales Uncollected is calculated by

(Accounts receivable/Net annual credit sales) x 365

It is the number of days before receivables are collected.

The lower the ratio the more liquid the company is likely to be. High Days' Sales Uncollected Ratios are bad for business.

C) Accounts receivable turnover is the annual rate at which a business collects its average accounts receivable.

Beyer Company is considering the purchase of an asset for $190,000. It is expected to produce the following net cash flows. The cash flows occur evenly within each year.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Total
Net cash flows $50,000 $31,000 $60,000 $140,000 $30,000 $311,000
Compute the payback period for this investment.

Answers

Answer:

Pay back period =3 years 4 months

Explanation:

The payback period is the estimated length of time it takes cash inflow from a project to recoup the cash outflow.  

The payback period uses cash flows and not profit.

The payback period can be determined by accumulation the cash inflow consecutively to ascertain the length of time it will take the sum to equate the initial cost.

This will be done as follows:

The sum of the cash in flows for the first three years would equal

50,000 + $31,000 + $60,000 = 141,000

The balance required to equate 190,000 would be

balance = 190,000 - 140,000 = 50,000

Pay back period = 3 years + (50,000/140,000)× 12 months

                            = 3 years 4 months

Pay back period =3 years 4 months

One year ago, you purchased a stock at a price of $55.20 per share. Today, you sold your stock at a loss of 18.63 percent. Your capital loss was $12.62 per share. What was the total dividends per share paid on this stock over the year

Answers

Answer:

Dividend = $2.34

Explanation:

Purchase Price = $55.20

Loss on stock = 18.63% of $55.20 = $10.28

Capital Loss = $12.62

Dividend = Capital Loss - Total Loss

Dividend = $12.62 - $10.28

Dividend = $2.34

When required, round to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities  = fixed assets / long term liabilities = $971,600 / $694,000 = 1.4

Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity = total liabilities / stockholders' equity = $834,000 / $2,780,000  = 0.3

Asset turnover = net sales / average total assets = $21,141,000 / [($3,614,000 + $3,433,000)/2] = 6  

Return on total assets = (net income + interest expense) / average total assets =  ($386,000 + $41,640) / [($3,614,000 + $3,433,000)/2] = 12.14%

Return on stockholders’ equity = net income / average stockholders' equity = $386,000 / [($2,780,000 + $2,558,000) = 14.46%

Return on common stockholders' equity = net income / average common stockholders' equity = $386,000 / [($1,946,000 + $1,724,000) = 21.04%

The Federal Reserve has been at times biased in favor of the financial industry, because they have often put inflation targeting above the need to reduce unemployment when executing monetary policy. Besides, the financial industry has often been rescued by massive loans from the Fed.

However, the Federal Reserve has also acted in favor of reducing unemployment, specially during recessions, by expanding the money supply through a policy known as quantitative easing.

In conclusion, we can say that the Fed tends to be biased in favor of the financial industry, but not at all times.

The Rhaegel Corporation’s common stock has a beta of 1.2. If the risk-free rate is 4.3 percent and the expected return on the market is 13 percent, what is the company’s cost of equity capital? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Cost of equity = 14.74%

Explanation:

The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model for estimating the return on a stock..

Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk.

Systematic risks are those which affect all economic actors in the market, they include factors like changes in interest rate, inflation, etc. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.  

Under CAPM,  

E(r)= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)  

E(r)- cost of equity , Rf-risk-free rate , β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.  

Using this model, we can work out the value of beta as follows:  

β-1.2 Rf- 4.3%, Rm = 13%  

E(r) = 4.3% + 1.2 × (13 - 4.3)%=14.74 %

Expected return = 14.74 %

Cost of equity = 14.74%

Re - 4.5% = 6.42%

Re = 10.92%

total value of debt:

$75 million x 0.95 = $71,250,000

YTM = {70 + [(1,000 - 950)/25]} / [(1,000 + 950)/2] = 72 / 975 = 7.3846%

$60 million x 1.07 = $64,200,000

YTM = {60 + [(1,000 - 1,070)/8]} / [(1,000 + 1,070)/2] = 51.25 / 1,035 = 4.9517%

weighted cost of debt = ($71,250,000 / $135,450,000 x 7.3846%) + ($64,200,000 / $135,450,000 x 4.9517%) = 3.8845% + 2.347% = 6.2315%

total value of the firm = $280,000,000 + $135,450,000 = $415,450,000

equity weight = $280,000,000 / $415,450,000 = 0.674

debt weight = 1 - 0.674 =  0.326

WACC = (0.674 x 10.92%) + (0.326 x 6.2315% x 0.79) = 7.36% + 1.605% = 8.965% = 8.97%

Too Young, Inc., has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 7 percent and semiannual payments. The bond currently sells for $951 and matures in 23 years. The par value is $1,000. What is the company's pretax cost of debt?

Answers

Answer:

The company's pretax cost of debt is 7.45 %.

Explanation:

When it comes to bonds, the cost of debt is the required return on the bond known as the Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the bond.

The Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the bond can be determined as follows :

N = 23 × 2 = 46

PV = $951

Pmt = ($1,000 × 7 %) ÷ 2 = - $35

P/YR = 2

FV = - $1,000

YTM = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the bond is 7.4484 or 7.45 %

Therefore,

The company's pretax cost of debt is 7.45 %.

Group of answer choices.

A. Mid-cap common stock

B. Municipal bond

C. Bank CD

D. Treasure STRIPS

Answer:

C. Bank CD

Explanation:

In this scenario, a 60-year old retiree is in a very low tax bracket. He has a low risk tolerance and wishes to make an investment that will provide income. A Bank certificate of deposit (CD) is the best recommendation.

A bank certificate of deposit (CD) can be defined as a secured form of time-bound deposit and a special low-risk savings account, wherein money (lump-sum) are left with the bank for a specific period of time in exchange for an interest rate premium.

Generally, a certificate of deposit pays a higher interest rate to its holder than the regular savings account because the banks invest the money in a business.

Additionally, the bank certificate of deposit is protected and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000.

exchange

Answers

Answer: Legitimating tactics

Explanation:

Rational Persuasion has to do with when an individual is being convinced with logic, reasons or facts.

Consultation means simply getting other people to participate in making decisions and planning.

Ingratiation is when an individual tried to influence someone else by becoming likeable to the person.

Answers

Answer:

$39,720

Total fixed costs that represent current cash flows = $35,760 - $4,100

Total fixed costs that represent current cash flows = $31,660

Variable costs = 2,600 units * $3.10

Variable costs = $8,060

The cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses on the March selling and administrative expense budget will be

= $31,660 + $8,060

A corporate bond currently yields 8.5%. Municipal bonds with the same risk, maturity, and liquidity currently yield 5.5%. At what tax rate would investors be indifferent between the two bonds?

Answers

Answer: 35.29%

Explanation:

Municipal Bonds are attractive in that they give the tax benefit of being tax exempt whereas a corporate bond is liable for taxation. The tax rate that will therefore make an investor indifferent between the two bonds is the one that will equate the Corporate bond's yield net of tax to the yield on the Municipal bond.

5.5% = 8.5% * ( 1 - x)

5.5% = 8.5% - 0.085x

0.085x = 8.5% - 5.5%

0.085x = 3%

x = 35.29%

f the nominal interest rate is 7 percent and the real interest rate "is -2.5" percent, then the inflation rate is

Answers

Answer:

9.7%

Explanation:

(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real rate) x (1 + inflation rate)

1.07 = 0.975 x (1 + inflation rate)

(1 + inflation rate) = 1.07 / 0.975

(1 + inflation rate) = 1.097

Inflation rate = 1.097 - 1 = 0.097 = 9.7%
