Answer:
25%
Explanation:
For the computation of budgeted markup percentage using a full-cost approach first we need to find out the profit expected and total cost which is shown below:-
Profit Expected = $1,500,000 × 20%
= $300,000
Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
= $1,100,000 + $100,000
= $12,00,000
Budgeted Markup Percentage = Profit ÷ Total Cost
= $300,000 ÷ $12,00,000
= 25%
A small manufacturer that makes clothespins and other household products buys new injection molding equipment for a cost of $500,000. This will allow the manufacturer to make more clothespins in the same amount of time with an estimated increase in sales of %. If the manufacturer currently makes tons of clothespins per year, which sell at per ton, what will be the increase in revenue next year from the new equipment?
Answer:
$337,500
Explanation:
the questions was missing some numbers. I looked for similar questions and found:
increase in sales = 25%current annual production in tons = 75sales price per ton = $18,000increase in total sales = 75 tons x 25% = 18.75 tons
increase in revenue = 18.75 tons x $18,000 = $337,500
Since the question only asks for the increase in revenue, we do not have to calculate anything else.
Knight Inventory Systems, Inc., has announced a rights offer. The company has announced that it will take three rights to buy a new share in the offering at a subscription price of $53. At the close of business the day before the ex-rights day, the company’s stock sells for $80 per share. The next morning, you notice that the stock sells for $65 per share and the rights sell for $2 each.
Required:
a. Are the stock and the rights correctly priced on the ex-rights day?
b. Describe a transaction in which you could use these prices to create an immediate profit.
Answer:
a. Are the stock and the rights correctly priced on the ex-rights day?
stock price at ex-right = [(3 x $80) + $53] / 4 = $73.25
cost of ex-right = $80 - $73.25 = $6.75
the rights are underpriced since they are sold at $2, and they should sell at $6.75
b. Describe a transaction in which you could use these prices to create an immediate profit.
You can purchase 3 rights at $6 and then pay subscription price ($53) and you would have an stock at $59. Your profit = $65 - $59 = $6 per stock.
For a certain item, the cost-minimizing order quantity obtained with the basic EOQ model is 200 units, and the total annual inventory (carrying and setup) cost is $400. What is the inventory carrying cost per unit per year for this item? $2.00 $3.00 $150.00 $1.00 not enough data to determine
Answer:
$2 per unit per year
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory carrying cost per unit per year is shown below:
Inventory Carrying cost per unit per year is
= Total Annual Inventory cost ÷ Economic order quantity
= $400 ÷ 200 units
= $2 per unit per year
By dividing the total annual inventory cost from the economic order quantity, the inventory carrying cost could come and the same is to be applied
Hence, the first option is correct

Acme Company’s production budget for August is 17,700 units and includes the following component unit costs: direct materials, $6.0; direct labor, $10.2; variable overhead, $6.2. Budgeted fixed overhead is $34,000. Actual production in August was 18,630 units. Actual unit component costs incurred during August include direct materials, $8.40; direct labor, $9.60; variable overhead, $7.00. Actual fixed overhead was $35,700. The standard fixed overhead application rate per unit consists of $2 per machine hour and each unit is allowed a standard of 1 hour of machine time.Required:Calculate the fixed overhead budget variance and the fixed overhead volume variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
Answer:
a. $1,700 U
b. $3,260 F
Explanation:
a. Fixed over head budget variance = Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead
Actual fixed overhead = $35,700
Budgeted fixed overhead = $34,000
Fixed overhead budget variance = $35,700 - $34,000
= $1,700 U
b. Fixed overhead volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Standard fixed overhead
Standard fixed overhead application rate = $2 per machine hr × 1hr
= $2
Budgeted fixed overhead = $34,000
Standard fixed overhead = Standard hours for actual output × Budgeted rate
= (18,630 units × 1hr) × $2
= $37,260
Fixed overhead volume variance
= $34,000 - $37,260
= 3,260 F

Every organization has a set of unwritten norms that members of the organization accept and understand and which guide their actions. This system of shared meaning is organization's culture.
An organizational culture typically comprises of values, norms, beliefs and assumptions which defines the most appropriate ways of behaving in an organization (work environment).
Generally, an organizational culture is usually designed and established by the top executives or management of an organization and communicated to the various employees working there.
According to Robert Quinn and Kim Cameron, an organizational culture can be divided into four (4) main categories;
1. Adhocracy culture.
2. Clan culture.
3. Hierarchy culture.
4. Market culture.
Additionally, the significance of an organizational culture is simply that it creates a unique social, efficient and psychological environment of an organization.
"A mutual fund manager of a "high technology" fund feels that the market for this sector will remain flat in the next coming months and he wishes to generate some additional income against his portfolio. The best strategy is to sell:"
Answer: C. narrow-based calls
Explanation:
Narrow based calls would include calls from one industry. The mutual fund is an "High technology" firm which means that it is a narrow based fund for instance as it is interested only in one industry being the High Tech industry.
The manager should invest in Narrow based calls that focus on the sector if he anticipates that the market will remain flat for the sector. Narrow based Calls are more volatile because they are specific and with the volatility comes higher premiums to be charged.
Should he wish to make income against the portfolio, he should sell these knowing that the options will not be called as the market will remain flat.

The incredible shrinking $50 bill in 1957 was worth $50, but in 2007 it is worth only $. a. What was the compounded average annual inflation rate (loss of purchasing power) during this period of time? b. Fifty dollars invested in the stock market in 1957 was worth $ in 2007. In view of your answer to Part (a), what was the annual real interest rate earned on this investment?
Answer:
A. 4.02%
B. 3.49%
Explanation:
a. Computation of the compounded average annual inflation rate during this period of time
Using this formula
Annual inflation rate=FV/ P *(1+i)^t
Where,
t = 2007 - 1957 = 50 yrs
FV = 6.42
P = 50
Let plug in the formula
Annual inflation rate = (6.42 / 50)^(1/50) - 1
Annual inflation rate= 0.1284 ^ 0.02 - 1
Annual inflation rate= 0.959779 - 1
Annual inflation rate= -0.0402208 *100%
Annual inflation rate=4.02%
b. Computation of the annual real interest rate earned on this investment
First step is to find the Norminal ROR
Using this formula
Norminal ROR
= FV/ P *(1+i)^t
Where
FV = 1998
P = 50
let plug in the formula
Norminal ROR = (1998 / 50)^(1/50) -1
Norminal ROR= 39.96 ^ 0.02 - 1
Norminal ROR= 1.076545 - 1
Norminal ROR= 0.0765457 *100
Norminal ROR= 7.65%
Last step is to calculate for annual real interest rate earned using this formula
Annual real interest rate earned = (1+ Nominal ROR) / (1+ Inflation) -1
Let plug in the formula
Annual real interest rate earned=(1+0.0765457) / (1+0.0402208) - 1
Annual real interest rate earned= (1.0765457) / (1.0402208) - 1
Annual real interest rate earned= 1.034920 - 1
Annual real interest rate earned= 0.0349*100
Annual real interest rate earned=3.49%
Therefore the Annual inflation rate will be 4.02% while Annual real interest rate earned will be 3.49%

= 300,000 - 220,000
= 80,000 boxtops are still to be sent in
4 boxtops are needed to receive a pottery bowl so with 80,000;
= 80,000/4
= 20,000 pottery bowls are due to be issued.
Each bowl costs $2.50 to make. Customers will send in $1 however so effectively it will cost the company;
= 2.50 - 1
= $1.50
With 20,000 still left to be issued, each costing $1.50, the total liabilitiy for outstanding premiums to be recorded at the end of 2007 is;
= 20,000 * 1.5
= $30,000

What is the value of a zero-coupon bond with a par value of $1,000 and a yield to maturity of 6.60%? The bond has 19 years to maturity.
Answer:
$296.90
Explanation:
For computing the value of the zero coupon bond we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 6.60%
NPER = 19 years
PMT = $0
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the value of zero coupon bond is would be $296.90
Explain some of the basic principles of cost management, such as profits, life cycle cost, tangible and intangible costs and benefits, direct and indirect costs, and Reserves.
Answer:
Profits - These refer to the revenues accrued from a project less the costs of the project.
Life Cycle Cost - Life Cycle Cost is a concept in Cost management where the cost of a project throughout it's entire life is assessed. Costs assessed therefore include; initial capital costs, maintenance costs and operating costs.
Tangible and Intangible Costs - When costs are tangible, quantifying them.is easy as the cost can be stated and directly attributable to a cost object eg, cost of a fixed asset. Intangible cost on the other hand is not easy to quantify and is not easily attributable. For instance, the experience that a Project Manager leaves with if they resign.
Tangible and Intangible Benefits - Like tangible costs, tangible benefits are easily quantifiable and noticeable such as trade discounts from buying in bulk. Intangible benefits on the other hand are not easily quantifiable. An example would be Employee motivation from a safer working Environment.
Direct and Indirect Costs - Direct costs are costs that can be easily traced to a cost object. In other words, the reason for the cost is known e.g labor cost for assembling a product. Indirect Costs are harder to trace to a cost object even though they are related to production. An example would be the Electricity used for production.
Reserves - Cost reserves are monies held for any emergency expenses that may come up. This way the company can deal with them speedily.

A firm hires labor in a perfectly competitive labor market. Its current profit-maximizing hourly output is 100 units, which the firm sells at a price of $5 per unit. The Marginal Physical product (MPP) of the last unit of labor employed is 5 units per hour. The firm pays each worker an hourly wage of $15. a)What Marginal Revenue (MR) does the firm earn from sale of the output produced by the last worker employed? b)Does this firm sell its output in a perfectly competitive market?
Answer:
A.Marginal Revenue $3
B. No
Explanation:
A.Calculation for the Marginal Revenue (MR) that the firm earn from sale of the output produced by the last worker employed
Based on the information given we were told that the Marginal Physical product of the last unit of labor was 5 units per hour in which the firm pays each worker an hourly wage of $15. Now let calculate the Marginal Revenue using this formula
Marginal Revenue = Employees hourly wages/Marginal Physical product unit of labor
Where,
Employees hourly wages=$15
Marginal Physical product unit of labor =5 units per hour
Let plug in the formula
Marginal Revenue =$15/5
Marginal Revenue =$3
B. No reason been that the current profit-maximizing hourly output was 100 units in which we were told that the firm sells at a price of $5 per unit. While the Marginal Revenue gotten in (A) above was $3 which is lesser or lower than $5 per unit which simply means that the firm does NOT sell its output in a well perfectly competitive market .

It is not possible to create a per unit MCS if you are given total revenue and selling price. True False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
A per unit MCS cannot be created if you are given total revenue and selling price because per unit MCS is created by dividing the given total revenue by the total units of products ( for revenue per unit of product )
And also dividing the total cost by the total units of products ( for cost per unit of product ) hence the absence of the number of products will make it impossible to create a per unit MCS.
The whole cost of sales of welfare's and commodities is called total revenue while the trading price is the price the purchaser spends on acquiring the goods and commodities.
Yes, the given statement is true.
To generate per unit MCS total income and sale price cannot serve as determinants.MCS is estimated by dividing the total income by the generation of total assemblies.Also, MCS is determined by dividing total cost by the total assemblies of products so that the cost per unit can be determined.Therefore without the quantity of production MCS cannot be determined.
