Answer: an increase in the effectiveness of a cost management system and an increase in the quality of performance information.
Explanation:
Controllable costs this are the cost over which a company can control. Examples of this cost include marketing budgets, and labor costs.
Why non-controllable costs are those cost that a company cannot change or control, examples of this cost are rent , and insurance. This are usually noticeable by an increase in the effectiveness of a cost management system, and an increase in the quality of performance information.
A large bakery makes cakes for freezing and subsequent sale. The bakery can produce cakes at the rate of 484 cakes per day. The bakery sets up the cake-production operation and produces until a predetermined number (Q) have been produced. When not producing cakes, the bakery uses its personnel and facilities for producing other bakery items. The setup cost for a production run of cakes is $100. The cost of holding frozen cakes in storage is $9 per cake per year. The annual demand for frozen cakes, which is constant over time, is 54600 cakes. Assume 364 days a year and 52 weeks a year. What is the "daily" demand rate
Answer:
150
Explanation:
The computation of the daily demand rate is shown below:
Daily demand rate = Annual demand for frozen cakes ÷ total number of days in a year
= 54,600 cakes ÷ 364 days
= 150
By dividing the annual demand from the total number of days in a year we can get the daily demand rate and the same is shown above
Check all true statements regarding CMBS:
a.CMBS have less exposure to prepayment risk than RMBS
b.Loans in a CMBS deal are recourse loans The multifamily/apartment CRE sector never uses CMBS for financing as it relies on RMBS
c.CMBS are the main source of financing for commercial real estate loans
d.The number of commercial mortgages in a CMBS deal are usually lower than the number of residential mortgage in a RMBS deal
Answer: A and D only
Explanation:
CMBS Loan are also referred to as a Conduit Loan, this is a type of real estate loan usually commercial, which is secured by a first-position mortgage on a commercial property. These loans are usually packaged, and sold by a Conduit Lender, commercial banks, investment banks, and syndicates of banks.
Loans in a CMBS are always bigger so they are less in a CMBS deal. Sometimes it’s onlyone loan in a Single Asset (SA) CMBS deal
Prepayments are discouraged in CMBS through defeasance,prepayment penalties or yield maintenance fees.
Answer:
a.CMBS have less exposure to prepayment risk than RMBS
d. The number of commercial mortgages in a CMBS deal are usually lower than the number of residential mortgage in a RMBS deal
Explanation:
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) as the name implies are mortgage backed securities that are secured with commercial mortgages while Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) are mortgage backed securities secured by residential property.
a) CMBS are based on mortgages which usually have a fixed term contract in place meaning that prepayment is less of a thing with CMBS than with RMBS so the former does indeed have a less exposure to prepayment risk than the latter.
d) This is indeed true because both packages have to look appealing to investors but can only use different amounts to reach the minimum threshold. This is because Commercial Mortgages pay more than Residential Mortgages so more RMBS have to be pulled together to form an attractive investment as opposed to CMBS. This is why the number in CMBS are usually less than that of RMBS.

Joe Jenkins, the owner of Jenkins Manufacturing, is considering whether to produce a new product. Joe will be selling the product for a price of $70 per unit. If he uses the current equipment, Joe estimates the fixed costs per year to be $40,000 and variable costs for each unit produced to be $50. However, Joe is considering the purchase of new equipment that would produce the product more efficiently. Joe’s fixed cost would be raised to $60,000 per year, but the variable cost would be reduced to $25 per unit. If Joe's demand forecast is 900 units, should Joe produce the product using the existing or the new equipment? Produce using the existing equipment. Produce using the new equipment. Does not matter, which equipment is used. The product should not be produced at all.
Answer:
Jenkins Manufacturing
Joe should produce using the new equipment.
Explanation:
a) Costs incurred using the old equipment:
Variable costs = $45,000 ($50 x 900)
Fixed costs = $40,000
Total costs = $85,000
Operating Loss = $22,000 ($63,000 - 85,000)
b) Costs incurred using the new equipment:
Variable costs = $22,500 ($25 x 900)
Fixed costs = $60,000
Total costs = $82,500
Operating Loss = $19,500 ($63,000 - 82,500)
Production using the new equipment would reduce the operating loss by $2,500.
The company should produce by using the new equipment.
Based on thw information given, the cost that's incurred using the old equipment will be
Variable costs = ($50 x 900) = $45,000
Fixed costs = $40,000
Total costs = Fixed cost + Variable cost
= $40000 + $45,000
= $85,000
Operating Loss will be:
= ($63,000 - 85,000) = -$22000
The costs incurred using the new equipment will be:
Variable costs = ($25 x 900) = $22,500
Fixed costs = $60,000
Total costs = $60000 + $22500 = $82,500
Operating Loss = ($63,000 - 82,500) = -$19,500
Based on the calculation, the company should produce by using the new equipment.

Johnson Enterprises uses a computer to handle its sales invoices. Lately, business has been so good that it takes an extra 3 hours per night, plus every third Saturday, to keep up with the volume of sales invoices. Management is considering updating its computer with a faster model that would eliminate all of the overtime processing.
Current Machine New Machine
Original purchase cost $15,300 $25,100
Accumulated depreciation $6,200 ------
Estimated annual operating costs $24,800 $19,800
Remaining useful life 5 years 5 years
If sold now, the current machine would have a salvage value of $10,800. If operated for the remainder of its useful life, the current machine would have zero salvage value. The new machine is expected to have zero salvage value after 5 years.
Should the current machine be replaced?
Answer:
The current machine should be replaced. It costs more plus the overhead costs to maintain the current machine than it would cost to maintain the new machine.
The analysis is as follows:
Explanation:
1. Cost Analysis of Current Machine:
Book value of equipment = $9,100 ($15,300 - $6,200)
Annual Operating Costs for 5 years = $124,000 ($24,800 x 5)
Total cost = $133,100 ($9,100 + $124,000)
2. Cost Analysis for New Machine:
Purchase cost = $25,100
Annual operating costs for 5 years = $99,000 ($19,800 x 5)
Total cost for 5 years = $124,100 ($25,100 + $99,000)
Since both machines have no salvage value at the end of 5 years, it makes sense to purchase the new machine with a cost saving of $9,000 ($133,100 - $124,100) plus the overtime cost that will be eliminated.

A division is considering the acquisition of a new asset that will cost $2,950,000 and have a cash flow of $740,000 per year for each of the four years of its life. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis with no salvage value. Ignore taxes. Required: a. & b. What is the ROI for each year of the asset's life if the division uses beginning-of-year asset balances and net book value for the computation? What is the residual income each year if the cost of capital is 8 percent?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of ROI for each year of the asset's life and residual income each year is shown below:-
Year Investment base ROI Residual income
1 $2,950,000 8% -$233,500
2 $2,212,500 11% -$233,500
3 $1,475,000 17% -$115,500
4 $737,500 34% -$56,500
ROI = Net income ÷ Total investment × 100
Net Income = Cash flow - Depreciation
Residual income = Net income - (Investment × Cost of capital)
Depreciation = Investment base ÷ 4 years

The classical dichotomy and the neutrality of money
The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables. The following questions test your understanding of this distinction.
Maria spends all of her money on paperback novels and beignets. In 2011 she earned $27.00 per hour, the price of a paperback novel was $9.00, and the price of a beignet was $3.00.
Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable?
1-The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011.
2-Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011.
3-The price of a beignet is 0.33 paperback novels in 2011.
Which of the following give the real value of a variable?
1-The price of a paperback novel is 3 beignets in 2011.
2-Maria's wage is 9 beignets per hour in 2011.
3-The price of a paperback novel is $9.00 in 2011.
Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2011 and 2016. In 2016, Maria's wage has risen to $54.00 per hour. The price of a paperback novel is $18.00 and the price of a beignet is $6.00.
In 2016, the relative price of a paperback novel is _________
Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value of Maria's wage (increases/decreases/remains the same) and the real value of her wage ____________
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply ________ nominal variables and ______ real variables.
Answer:
1. Relative price = $3
2. Increases
3. affects , not affect
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
1) The relative price of a paperback novel in 2016 = Maria,s wage ÷ Price of a paperback novel
= $54÷$18
= $3
2) Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value increases and the real value of Maria's wage remains the same.
3)Monetary neutrality is proposition that the change in the money supply affects the nominal variables but it does not affect the real variables.
Haylock Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,800 direct labor-hours will be required in August. The variable overhead rate is $1.20 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,560 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,790. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The August cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
Total cash= $101,130
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated direct labor hours= 7,800
The variable overhead rate is $1.20 per direct labor-hour.
The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,560 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,790.
We need to deduct the depreciation expense because it is not a cash disbursement.
Cash disbursement:
Variable overhead= 7,800*1.2= $9,360
Fixed overhead= (100,560 - 8,790)= $91,770
Total cash= $101,130
Sweet Acacia uses LIFO inventory costing. At January 1, 2020, inventory was $334,640 at both cost and market value. At December 31, 2020, the inventory was $425,820 at cost and $400,440 at market value. Prepare the necessary December 31 entry under (a) the cost-of-goods-sold method and (b) loss method. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
Answer:
January 1, 2020, inventory was $334,640 at both cost and market value.
December 31, 2020, the inventory was $425,820 at cost and $400,440 at market value.
When using lower of cost or market value, we must record our inventory at whichever is lower. The total loss of inventory value = $425,820 - $400,440 = $25,380.
a) the cost-of-goods-sold method
December 31, adjustments to record loss on inventory's market value.
Dr Cost of goods sold 25,380
Cr Inventory* 25,380
b) loss method
December 31, adjustments to record loss on inventory's market value.
Dr Loss due to decline of inventory to market value 25,380
Cr Inventory* 25,380
*Depending on what account you are told to use (instead of inventory account) you might be required to use the Allowance to reduce inventory to market value account.
An analysis and aging of the accounts receivable of Raja Company at December 31 reveal these data: Accounts receivable: $800,000 Allowance for doubtful accounts per books before adjustment (credit): $50,000 Amounts expected to become uncollectible : $65,000 What is the cash realizable value of the accounts receivable at December 31, after adjustment? Select one: a. $685,000. b. $750,000. c. $800,000. d. $735,000.
Answer:
The correct option is D,$735,000
Explanation:
The cash realizable value of accounts receivable for the year is the accounts receivable of $800,000 less the amount expected to become uncollectible in the current year which $65,000.
The realizable value of accounts receivable =$800,000-$65,000=$735,000
The allowance for doubtful accounts before adjustment was already dealt with in previous year,I mean the difference between last year allowance and this year was accounted for by posting $15,000 into allowance account thereby leading a closing balance of $65,000.
Lakeside Components wishes to purchase parts in one month for sale in the next. On June 1, the company has 15,000 parts in stock, although sales for June are estimated to total 13,600 parts. Total sales of parts are expected to be 10,500 in July and 12,700 in August. Parts are purchased at a wholesale price of $30. The supplier has a financing arrangement by which Lakeside Components pays 60 percent of the purchase price in the month when the parts are delivered and 40 percent in the following month. Lakeside purchased 14,000 parts in May. Required: a. Estimate purchases (in units) for June and July. b. Estimate the cash required to make purchases in June and July.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory (parts)= 15,000 parts
Sales June= 13,600
Sales July= 10,500
Sales August= 12,700
Parts are purchased at a wholesale price of $30.
Purchasing arrangement:
60 percent on the month of the purchase.
40 percent in the following month.
Lakeside purchased 14,000 parts in May.
A) To calculate the purchase for June and July, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
June= 13,600 - 15,000= -1,400
July= 10,500 - 1,400= 9,100
B) Cash Required:
Purchase from the month
Purchase from the month before
June:
Purchase from the month= 0
Purchase from the month before= (14,000*30)*0.4= 168,000
July:
Purchase from the month= (9,100*30)*0.6= 163,800
Purchase from the month before= 0

A bakery buys sugar from a big distributor to use in baking cakes. Typically, they use 3663 bags of sugar in a year. The price of sugar is typically $14 per bag. The cost to the bakery for placing an order is $26, and the annual carrying cost is $17 per bag. The distributor has offered the bakery the following volume discount schedule: Order Size Discount rate on the original price 1--449 0 percent 450--799 5 percent more than 800 10 percent We are trying to find how many bags of sugar should the store order, whenever they place a new order of sugar.Assume 364 days a year and 52 weeks a year. IMPORTANT: Note, the discounts off of original price are reported. You need to calculate the actual prices. Keep two decimal places in your calculations.If we ignore the discounts, how many bags of sugar should we order
A company produces a single product. Last year, fixed manufacturing overhead was $30,000, variable production costs were $48,000, fixed selling and administration costs were $20,000, and variable selling administrative expenses were $9,600. There was no beginning inventory. During the year, 3,000 units were produced and 2,400 units were sold at a price of $40 per unit. Under variable costing, net operating income would be
Answer:
Net operating income= (2,000)
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
fixed manufacturing overhead was $30,000
variable production costs were $48,000
fixed selling and administration costs were $20,000
variable selling administrative expenses were $9,600.
During the year, 3,000 units were produced and 2,400 units were sold for $40 per unit.
First, we need to calculate the unitary product variable cost:
Unitary product cost= 48,000/3,000= $16
Income statement:
Sales= 2,400*40= 96,000
Total variable cost= (2,400*16) + 9,600= (48,000)
Contribution margin= 48,000
fixed manufacturing overhead= (30,000)
fixed selling and administration costs were= (20,000)
Net operating income= (2,000)
Stone Company changed its method of pricing inventories from FIFO to LIFO. What type of accounting change does this represent? A change in accounting estimate for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be restated. A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported. A change in accounting estimate for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported. A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be restated.
Answer:
A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported.
Explanation:
Since the accounting method is being changed from FIFO to LIFO, any adjusting of prior year balances would be impractical. If the change is from LIFO to FIFO, then it makes more sense to adjust prior year balances. By impractical, it means that any changes would be too difficult and expensive to determine, and the value of the change is insignificant (materiality principle).
Generally US GAAP rules require that changes from FIFO to LIFO be disclosed in the footnotes only.
Which one of the following is not true when the economy is in macroeconomic equilibrium? A. When the economy is at long-run equilibrium, actual GDPequalspotential GDP. B. When the economy is at long-run equilibrium, firms will have excess capacity. C. When the economy is at long-run equilibrium, total unemploymentequalsfrictional unemploymentplusstructural unemployment. D. When the economy is at long-run equilibrium, SRASequalsADequalsLRAS.
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be Option C.
Explanation:
Throughout the macroeconomic equilibrium, the aggregate supply curve becomes equivalent to something like the supply curve, the real GDP seems to be comparable to potential Output (GDP), however, if frictional as well as systemic unemployment seems to be the maximum total poverty throughout the longer term.Consequently, whenever the economy seems to be in macroeconomic equilibrium, the argument which is not accurate would be that the businesses would have excess power.So that Option C is the right answer.
As of December 31, 2019, Sheridan Company had $3500 of raw materials inventory. At the beginning of 2019, there was $3000 of materials on hand. During the year, the company purchased $315000 of materials; however, it paid for only $252500. How much inventory was requisitioned for use on jobs during 2019
Answer: $314,500
Explanation:
When calculating how much of a material of any sort was used, the following formula should be used,
= Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory
This is the same formula largely used to calculate Cost of Goods sold.
Here, the figure to be concerned about is the actual materials used not the ones paid for.
Plugging in figures into the formula then,
= 3,000 + 315,000 - 3,500
= $314,500
Thus $314,500 was the inventory requisitioned for use on jobs during 2019.

O Industrial farmers are raising ever-increasing numbers of animals on their farms.
O Animal slaughtering and meat-processing activities are dominated by a few large corporations.
O The development of the poultry industry has made chicken the least expensive kind of meat consumed in the United States and Canada.
O Fast-food restaurants have created a demand for increased standardization and homogeneity of animals raised for meat.
O Consumer demand for organic foods has significantly decreased the amount of meat produced by most agribusiness firms.
Answer:
All of the following statements about the geography of meat production in the United States and Canada are true EXCEPT: Consumer demand for organic foods has significantly decreased the amount of meat produced by most agribusiness firms.
Explanation:
Organic foods are grown without the use of synthetic additives like fertilizer and pesticides for plants, antibiotics and growth hormones for animals.
Consumer demand for organic products due to its health benefits has not significantly decreased the amount of meat produced by most agribusiness firms. Instead, it has created another lucrative business niche for meat production corporations.
Organic foods are now being produced to meet the demand for it along side with those that are not organic.
There is however a higher charge associated with organic foods.
Answer
Consumer demand for organic foods has significantly decreased the amount of meat produced by most agribusiness firms .

Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
We can calculate the Net cash outflow by using following formula:
Net cash outflow from investing activities to be reported = Cash paid to acquire equipment + Cash paid to acquire land - Proceeds from sale of building
By putting the value in the formula, we get
= $120 + $54 - $135
= $39
Hence, Net cash outflow from investing activities to be reported is $39.
On January 1, 2021, Legion Company sold $250,000 of 6% ten-year bonds. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds were sold for $163,976, priced to yield 12%. Legion records interest at the effective rate. Legion should report bond interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021, in the amount of: (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Answer:
The bond interest expense to be shown in profit or loss as t 30 June 2021
$9,838.56
Explanation:
The bond interest expense is the actual finance cost of using the funds made available by bondholders while the coupon payment is the portion of the finance cost paid to them periodically.
Interest expense=bonds cash proceeds*yield to maturity*6/12
bonds cash proceeds is $163,976
yield to maturity is 12%
interest expense=$163,976*12%*6/12=$9,838.56
Answer:
$9,838.56
Explanation:
Interest Expense using effective interest rate method can determined by multiplying the carrying value of the bond and yield rate of the bond because the bonds issued on the discount has different interest expense than the interest payment made to bond holder.
As the interest is paid semiannually the interest expense will be calculated for only 6 months.
Interest expense=Cash proceeds on issuance of bond x YTM x 6/12
As per given data

Answer:
The establishment clause.
Explanation:
Establishment clause, also called establishment-of-religion clause, clause in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbidding Congress from establishing a state religion. It prevents the passage of any law that gives preference to or forces belief in any one religion. It is paired with a clause that prohibits limiting the free expression of religion.
As the citizenry became more diverse, however, challenges arose to existing laws and practices, and eventually, the Supreme Court was called upon to determine the meaning of the establishment clause.
Though not explicitly stated in the First Amendment, the clause is often interpreted to mean that the Constitution requires the separation of church and state.
Smart Stream Inc. uses the total cost method of applying the cost-plus approach to product pricing. The costs of producing and selling 10,000 units of cell phones are as follows: Variable costs per unit: Fixed costs: Direct materials $150 Factory overhead $350,000 Direct labor 25 Selling and administrative expenses 140,000 Factory overhead 40 Selling and administrative expenses 25 Total variable cost per unit $240 Smart Stream desires a profit equal to a 30% return on invested assets of $1,200,000. a. Determine the total costs and the total cost amount per unit for the production and sale of 10,000 cellular phones.
Answer:
Smart Stream Inc.
a) Total costs:
Variable costs:
Direct materials = $1,500,000 ($150 x 10,000)
Direct labor = $250,000 ($25 x 10,000)
Factory overhead = $400,000 ($40 x 10,000)
Selling and Administrative = $250,000( $25 x 10,000)
Total variable costs = $2,400,000 ($240 x 10,000)
Fixed Costs:
Factory overhead = $350,000
Selling and admin = $140,000
Total fixed costs = $490,000
I) Total costs = variable plus fixed costs = $2,890,000 ($2,400,000 + 490,000)
II) Total cost per unit = $289 ($2,890,000/10,000)
Explanation:
The total cost method includes all the costs in arriving at the unit cost before adding the desired profit to arrive at the selling price of a product.
Total costs include the cost of goods sold and the expenses incurred in running the business for the period.
It is unlike the product cost-plus and variable cost-plus approaches to product pricing. For the product cost-plus approach, only the costs of production is taken into consideration for arriving at the selling price. In that case, the costs of direct materials and labor, and factory overheads would be considered, while variable and fixed selling and administrative costs are excluded. The unit cost would have been $250.
The variable cost-plus approach considers only the variable elements of costs to arrive at the selling price. These include the direct materials and labor costs, and variable element of the factory overhead and selling and administrative expenses. The unit cost would have been $240 as stated in the question.
These different cost-plus pricing approaches are more suitable for some industries than others. No matter the choice made, it must be noted that they result in different selling prices and can affect the competitiveness of a company.
