Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales in Units
April 70,000
May 85,000
June 110,000
July 90,000
Desired ending inventory= 15% of the following month’s sales.
The inventory at the end of March was 10,500 units.
To calculate the production required for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
April:
Sales= 70,000
Desired ending inventory= 85,000*0.15= 12,750
Beginning inventory= (10,500)
Total production= 72,250
May:
Sales= 85,000
Desired ending inventory= 110,000*0.15= 16,500
Beginning inventory= (12,750)
Total production= 88,750
June:
Sales= 110,000
Desired ending inventory= 90,000*0.15= 13,500
Beginning inventory= (16,500)
Total production= 107,000
Total quarter= 268,000
Idaho Industries Inc. is considering a project that has an initial aftertax outlay or aftertax cost of $450,000. The respective future cash inflows from its fiveyear project for years 1 through 5 are $95,000 each year. Idaho expects an additional cash flow of $60,000 in the fifth year. The firm uses the IRR method and has a hurdle rate of 10%. Will Idaho accept the project? A. Idaho accepts the project because it has an IRR greater than 10%. B. Idaho accepts the project because it has an IRR greater than 5%. C. Idaho rejects the project because it has an IRR less than 10%. D. There is not enough information to answer this question.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-450,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $95,000
Cash flow in year 5 = $95,000 + $60,000 = $155,000
IRR = 5.62%
Idaho would reject the project because the IRR is less than the hurdle rate
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
Muckenthaler Company sells product 2005WSC for $30 per unit. The cost of one unit of 2005WSC is $27, and the replacement cost is $26. The estimated cost to dispose of a unit is $3, and the normal profit is 40% of selling price. At what amount per unit should product 2005WSC be reported, applying lower-of-cost-or-market
Answer:
The product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.
Explanation:
The lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) method is a method of recording the inventory of a company which requires that the inventory cost of the company must recorded at whichever is lower between the inventory's original cost or current market price.
Applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the amount per unit at whcih product 2005WSC should be reported can be determined as follows:
Net realizable value (NRV) = Selling price per unit - Cost of disposal per unit = $30 - $3 = $27
Replacement cost (RC) = $26
NRV - Profit Margin = $27 - ($30 * 40%) = $15
Cost per unit = $27
Note that the market is the middle value of Net realizable value (NRV), $27; Replacement cost (RC), $26; and "NRV - Profit Margin", $15. Since the Replacement cost (RC) of $26 is the middle value, that the market value.
Since the market value of $26 per unit is lower than Cost per unit of $27, by applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.

A stock had returns of 17.88 percent, −5.16 percent, and 20.39 percent for the past three years. What is the variance of the returns?
Answer:
Variance of the return = 0.01983
Explanation:
[tex]S^{2}[/tex]= Σ[tex](X-X)^{2}[/tex]/ N - 1
Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%
Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)
Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2
Variance = 0.01983
Oslo Company prepared the following contribution format income statement based on a sales volume of 1,000 units (the relevant range of production is 500 units to 1,500 units): Sales $ 20,000 Variable expenses 12,000 Contribution margin 8,000 Fixed expenses 6,000 Net operating income $ 2,000 Required: 1. What is the contribution margin per unit
Answer:
Unitary contribution margin= $8
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales $ 20,000
Variable expenses 12,000
Contribution margin 8,000
To calculate the unitary contribution margin, we need to use the following formula:
Unitary contribution margin= total contribution margin / total units
Unitary contribution margin= 8,000 / 1,000
Unitary contribution margin= $8
IOP Company purchased a machine on 1/1/22 costing $500. Estimated life was 5 years; estimated salvage value was $100. In 2025, IOP discovered that the bookkeeper correctly used straight-line depreciation, but erroneously used an estimated life of 8 years in computing depreciation for the first 3 years of life. The Prior Period Adjustment to be recorded in 2025 will be:
Answer:
The Prior Period Adjustment to be recorded in 2025 will include a $90 debit as adjustment to Retained Earnings
Explanation:
Correct depreciation would have been = ($500-$100)/5 = $80
Depreciation charged wrongly as ($500-$400)/8 = $50
Therefore depreciation has been charged short by $30 for three years, thereby reflecting income greater by $30 each year for 3 years.
Since due to wrong depreciation retained earnings is higher by $90, therefore we have to debit retained earnings by $90

Explanation:
Duerr company makes a $73,000, 90-day, 10% cash loan to Ryan Co. The maturity value of the loan is: (Use 360 days a year.)
Answer: $74,825
Explanation:
Maturity value is the amount that a borrower will pay to the lender when the loan matures.
Based on the above analysis, the interest will be:
= $73,000 × 10% × 90/360
= $73,000 × 0.1 × 0.25
= $1825
Maturity value will now be the addition of the principal and the interest. This will be:
= $73,000 + $1825
= $74,825

A NASDAQ security is bid at $30.25 and offered at $30.75. An over-the-counter trader effects a trade at $30.75 and charges a commission of $.50 to the customer. The price that will show on the tape is:
Answer:
$30.75
Explanation:
Given that
Security bidding = $30.25
Offered price = $30.75
over the counter trading = $30.75
Commission charged = $0.50
based on the above information, the price that shows on the tape is equivalent to the over the counter trading price i.e $30.75 also it does not include the commission charged i.e $0.50
Hence, the price is $30.75
World Class Rings produces class rings. Its best-selling model has a direct materials standard of 16 grams of a special alloy per ring. This special alloy has a standard cost of $63.30 per gram.

3.·What is the direct material quantity variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Determine the formula for the quantity variance, then compute the quantity variance for direct materials.
4. How might the direct material price variance for the company last month be causing the direct material quantity variance?
The_____direct material price variance might mean that World Class Rings purchased a______. As a result, the company______quantity (efficiency) variance alloy than the standard allows. This accounts for the_____quantity (efficiency) variance.
Answer:
1. What is the actual cost per gram of the special alloy that World Class Rings purchased last month? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) The actual cost per gram of the special alloy that World Class Rings purchased last month is $_____.
= $1,061,760 / 16,800 grams = $63.20 per gram
2. What is the direct material price variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Begin by determining the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for direct materials.
direct materials price variance = (AP - SP) x AQ = ($63.20 - $63.30) x 16,300 = -$1,630 favorable variance
3.·What is the direct material quantity variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Determine the formula for the quantity variance, then compute the quantity variance for direct materials.
direct materials quantity variance = SP x (AQ - SQ) = $63.30 x (16,300 - 16,000) = $18,990 unfavorable variance
4. How might the direct material price variance for the company last month be causing the direct material quantity variance?
The FAVORABLE direct material price variance might mean that World Class Rings purchased a LOWER QUALITY MATERIAL. As a result, the company USED MORE ALLOW THAN STANDARD quantity (efficiency) variance alloy than the standard allows. This accounts for the UNFAVORABLE quantity (efficiency) variance.

Firm M has a margin of 7%, turnover of 2.0, sales of $910,000, and average stockholders' equity of $490,000. Required: Calculate Firm M’s average total assets, net income, return on investment (ROI), and return on equity (ROE
Answer:
1. Average total asset = $455,000
2. Net income = $63,700
3. Return on investment = 14%
4. Return on equity (ROE) = 13%
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
1. Average total asset
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the Asset turnover ratio as follows:
Asset turnover ratio = Sales / Average total asset ……………………………… (1)
Where;
Turnover = asset turnover ratio = 2
Sales = $910,000
Average total asset = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for average total asset, we have:
2 = $910,000 / Average total asset
Average total asset = $910,000 / 2
Average total asset = $455,000
2. Net income
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating net income margin as follows:
Net income margin = Net income / Sales ……………………………………. (2)
Where,
Margin = Net income margin = 7%, or 0.07
Net income = ?
Sales = $910,000
Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for net income, we have:
7% = Net income / $910,000
Net income = $910,000 * 7%
Net income = $63,700
3. Return on investment
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the return on investment as follows:
Return on investment = Net income / Average total assets ……………… (3)
Where;
Net income = $63,700
Average total asset = $455,000
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
Return on investment = $63,700 / $455,000
Return on investment = 0.14, or 14%
4. Return on equity (ROE)
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the return on equity (ROE) as follows:
Return on equity (ROE) = Net income / Average stockholders' equity…….. (4)
Net income = $63,700
Average stockholders' equity = $490,000
Substituting the values into equation (4), we have:
Return on equity (ROE) = $63,700 / $490,000
Return on equity (ROE) = 0.13, or 13%
Suppose Real GDP is $700 billion and Natural Real GDP is $620 billion. To eliminate this ________________gap, Keynesian theory indicates that government should ______________________.
Answer: d. inflationary; decrease government purchases or increase taxes
Explanation:
Suppose Real GDP is $700 billion and Natural Real GDP is $620 billion. To eliminate this inflationary gap, Keynesian theory indicates that government should decrease government purchases or increase taxes.
The Real GDP is greater than the Natural real GDP which is the potential GDP. When that happens the Economy is said to be overheated and producing above its limits as Aggregate Demand is above Aggregate Supply.
To combat this the Government according to Keynes should embark on policy that will reduce economic activity. The Government can use Contractionary Fiscal Policy that will see it reduce its spending and/or increase taxes. Both of these will have the effect of reducing the amount of money in the economy left for both investment and consumption and cause a fall in the Aggregate Demand.

$272,080Explanation:
total sales $285,000 / $15 = 19,000 customers
cash sales = $285,000 x 20% = $57,000credit cards = $285,000 x 60% = $171,000debit cards = $285,000 x 20% = $57,000credit card fees = (11,400 x $0.60) + ($171,000 x 2%) = $10,260
debit card fees = (3,800 x $0.55) + ($57,000 x 1%) = $2,660
The internal rate of return method is used to analyze a $831,500 capital investment proposal with annual net cash flows of $250,000 for each of the six years of its useful life. a. Determine a present value factor for an annuity of $1, which can be used in determining the internal rate of return. Carry your answer out to three decimal places.
Answer:
annuity factor for 20% and 6 periods = 3.326
Explanation:
the IRR represents the discount rate at which a project's NPV = 0
NPV = initial outlay + PV of future cash flows
NPV = 0
initial outlay = -$831,500
PV of future cash flows = $831,500 = cash flow x annuity factor
annuity factor = $831,500 / $250,000 = 3.326
using an annuity table and looking for the annuity factors for 6 periods, we find that the annuity factor for 20% and 6 periods = 3.326.
So our IRR = 20%
As an initial transaction in a new margin account, a customer sells short 100 shares of ABC at $20 per share. After the customer deposits the appropriate margin, the credit balance in the account will be:
Answer:
$4,000
Explanation:
Regulation T initial margin to short stock is 50% of $2,000 = $1,500 . However, since this is a new account, it must meet the minimum initial margin of $2,000 required to open the account, hence $2,000 must be deposited.
Therefore, the credit balance in the account will be;
= 2,000 + 2,000 ( 100 × $20)
= $4,000
The Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) was developed as a means of scheduling and controlling projects with constant activity times. Group of answer choices False True
Answer: False
Explanation:
The Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is used to know the schedule tasks and also know the critical path variation. It is useful to know the length of time that'll be needed for the completion of every task and how it relates to others in order to know the entire time needed to complete the particular project.
The Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is not a means of scheduling and controlling projects with constant activity times. The activity time normally varies.

Which of the following does not represent an outflow of cash and therefore would not be reported on the statement of cash flows as a use of cash?
a. purchase of noncurrent assets
b. purchase of treasury stock
c. discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated.
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated is the correct answer. No exchange of cash was involved in this unlike the purchase of non current asset(which is a cash outflow under investing activities) and the purchase of treasury stock (which is a cash outflow under financing activities).
Discarding a fully depreciated asset only is a non cash transaction.
A producer can produce a product at a variable cost per unit of $7. The producer can sell the product for $10 each. If the fixed cost is $60,000.
Required:
a. How many units must the producer sell to break-even?
b. What is revenue at 35,000 units?
c. What is total cost at 35,000 units?
d. How many units must the producer sell in order to earn a profit of $60,000?
Answer:
a.
Break even in units = 20000 units
b.
Revenue at 35000 units = $350000
c.
Total cost (35000 units) = $305000
d.
Units required for target profit = 40000 units
Explanation:
a.
The break even in units is the number of units that must be sold in order to earn enough total revenue as to cover total costs. The break even in units can be calculated as follows,
Break even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
Where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution margin per unit = 10 - 7 =$3
Break even in units = 60000 / 3
Break even in units = 20000 units
b.
Revenue = Price * Quantity
Revenue at 35000 units = 10 * 35000
Revenue at 35000 units = $350000
c.
Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
Total cost (35000 units) = 7 * 35000 + 60000
Total cost (35000 units) = $305000
d.
To calculate the units required to earn a target profit, we simply add the target profit amount to the fixed costs in the break even in units equation.
Thus, the number of units required to earn a target profit of $60000 is,
Units required for target profit = (60000 + 60000) / 3
Units required for target profit = 40000 units

An investor holds a 10 year bond pays a coupon rate of 9%. The yeid to maturity of the bond is 10% . The bond is trading:
Answer:
the bond is trading at a discount
Explanation:
There is an inverse relationship between the yield and the price of the bond.
As the yield goes up, the price of the bond goes down and as the yield goes down, the price of the bond goes up.
The yield - 10%, is greater than the coupon rate - 9%, the price will be less than the par value, and we say that the bond is trading at a discount.
A three-year annuity-immediate will be issued a year from now with annual payments of 5,000. Using the forward rates, calculate the present value of this annuity a year from now.
Answer:
13,152.5
Explanation:
Given the the above parameters as mentioned in the question
To calculate the PV (Present Value)
We have PV = 5000 * 1.05 * [ 1/(1.0575)² + 1/(0.625)³ + 1/(1.065)⁴]
PV = 5000 * 1.05 * (0.8942094350 + 0.8337064929 + 0.7773230908) =
=> PV = 5000 * 1.05 * 2.5052390187
= 13,152.50
Therefore, in this case, using the forward rates, the present value of this annuity a year from now is 13,152.50
McKerley Corp. has preferred stock outstanding that will pay an annual dividend of $3.70 per share with the first dividend exactly 14 years from today. If the required return is 3.6 percent, what is the current price of the stock?
Answer:
$64.89
Explanation:
Calculation for the current price of the stock
First step is to find the preference stock value at end of 13 years
Using this formula
P13= Annual dividend/Required return
Let plug in the formula
P13=$3.70/.036
P13= $102.78
The second step is to calculate for the current price of the stock
Using this formula
P0= P13/(1+Required return)^Dividend years
Let plug in the formula
P0= $102.78/(1 + .036)^13
P0=$102.78/(1.036)^13
P0=$102.78/1.5837
P0=$64.89
Therefore the current price of the stock will be $64.89
