Answer:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $48,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual direct labor= 24,000 direct labor hours
Actual variable overhead of $120,000.
The standard variable overhead rate is $3.00 per direct labor hour.
To calculate the variable overhead spending variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Actual rate= 120,000/24,000= $5
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (3 - 5)*24,000
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $48,000 unfavorable
Ideally, in effective marketing planning, goals should be _____ in terms of what is to be accomplished and when.
Answer:
The answer is quantified and measurable.
Explanation:
Goals need to be quantified and measurable in effective marketing planning. To determine what needs to be accomplished and when, we must put figures to it. This makes performance measurement easier where variances at the end can be analysed.
For example, one of the marketing goals for bank A might be to onboard 100 new customers every month for a year after the launching of its new mobile app.
This example is quantified and can be measured every month.

= $112,038,000
George Hansen is General Manager for the Marigold Inn in Augusta, Georgia. Sharon Coombs is Restaurant and Food Services manager for the Inn. She reports to George. Two years ago, Sharon noticed a decline in room service business, the highest margin potion of her operation. This decline coincided with an increase in the national sales of pizza delivery and carryout firms as well as an increase in the number of empty pizza boxes from these firms being left in guest rooms in the Inn. Her immediate response was to install a pizza oven in the kitchen and offer room service pizza to guests. The effort met with modest success, though it was well below her expectations. Questionnaires completed by departing guests revealed a problem of product quality.
Focusing on this problem, Sharon improved the Inn’s pizza until blind tests judged it at least equal in quality to the products of the two major pizza delivery competitors in Augusta. Sales did not improve, convincing Sharon that the problem was a perceived mismatch between the hotel’s image and guests’ expectations of pizza makers. Guests simply did not seem to believe that the traditional steak and seafood restaurant at the Inn could make a high-quality, authentic pizza.
Based on this conclusion, Sharon presented the following proposal to George:
"Sales of room service pizza are stagnant due to guests’ misperception that our product is lower in quality than that of competitors. This misperception is based on the belief that until we disassociate our pizza from the Marigold Inn name. Therefore, to capture more room service pizza business, we should create a ‘Napoli Pizza’ image for our guest room delivery service by:
Preparing ‘Napoli Pizza’ brochures for each guest room, complete with a phone number with a prefix different from that of Marigold Inn. The number will reach a special phone in room service, which will be answered, ‘Napoli Pizza, authentic Italian pizza from old, family recipes.’
Using special ‘Napoli Pizza’ boxes for delivering room service pizza to guests.
Issuing ‘Napoli Pizza’ hats and jackets to room service personnel for use in pizza delivery. Room service waiters and waitresses will wear these garments to deliver pizza. They will change to their regular uniforms for other deliveries.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
1. Preparing ‘Napoli Pizza’ brochures for each guest room, complete with a phone number with a prefix different from that of Marigold Inn. The number will reach a special phone in room service, which will be answered,
Explanation:
This is the best logical suggestion to George because, the guests already had the impression that, the inn cannot be able to produce a very high quality and tasty pizza. Preparing "Napoli Pizza" with different information from the Inn is best alternative. the guest would believe that, the pizza is coming from another quality pizza making company.
Charger Company's most recent balance sheet reports total assets of $28,413,000, total liabilities of $16,113,000 and total equity of $12,300,000. The debt to equity ratio for the period is (rounded to two decimals):
Answer:
Debt to equity ratio is 1.31
Explanation:
Given the above inflation, the formula for debt to equity ratio is
= Total debt / Total equity
= $16,113,000 / $12,300,000
= 1.31
Therefore, debt to equity ratio is 1.31
Net sales for the year were $1,050,000 and cost of goods sold was $735,000 for the company’s existing products. A new product is presently under development and will have an expected selling price of not more than $68 per unit in order to remain competitive with similar products in the marketplace. Required: a. Calculate gross profit and the gross profit ratio for the year.
Answer:
The answer is:
Gross profit is $315,000
Gross profit ratio is 30 percent
Explanation:
Gross profit equals net sales minus cost of sales
Net sales - $1,050,000
Cost of sales - ($735,000)
Gross profit -. $315,000
Gross profit ratio is:
(Gross profit / net sales) x 100 percent
($315,000 / $1,050,000) x 100 percent
0.3 x 100 percent
30 percent.
So we have:
Gross profit is $315,000
Gross profit ratio is 30 percent
At Jacobson Company, indirect labor is a variable cost that varies with direct labor-hours. Last month’s performance report showed that actual indirect labor cost totaled $5,780 for the month and that the associated spending variance was $245 Favorable. If 24,100 direct labor-hours were actually worked last month, then the flexible budget cost formula for indirect labor must be (per direct labor-hour):
Answer:
Flexible budget cost formula for indirect labor is $0.25 per DL hours
Explanation:
Flexible budget cost for indirect labor = Actual indirect labor cost + Associated spending variance
= $5,780 + $245
= $6,025
Flexible budget cost formula for indirect labor= Flexible budget cost for indirect labor / Direct labor-hours
= $6,025 / 24,100 DL hours
= $0.25 per DL hours

Answer:
b. $401,000
Explanation:
Currents assets refer to assets that are possible to be employed, exhausted, consumed, or sold withing a one year during the normal business activities of a company.
Current assets therefore include cash, cash equivalent and other assets that are expected to be changed to cash within one year.
From the question, we have;
Cash- $234,000
Accounts payable- $97,000
Inventories- $121,000
Notes payable (due 2020)- $211,000
Land- $453,000
Accounts receivable- $46,000
Therefore, current assets of Wing Company can be computed as follows:
Current assets = Cash + Inventories + Accounts receivable = $234,000 + $121,000 + $46,000 = $401,000
Therefore, the correct option is b. $401,000.
If the current interest rate is 5% and your semi-annual coupon paying bond has a duration of 5.33 years, how much will the price of the bond change if the interest rate increases by 1 basis point?
Answer:
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * 0.00005
Explanation:
Percentage change in price = - modified duration * (Change in yield in BP/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * ((0.01/2)/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * (0.005/100)
Percentage change in price = -5.33 * 0.00005
What is the beta for a company with a 12% expected return, while treasury bills are yielding 5% and the market risk premium is 7%
Answer:
The beta for the company is 1.
Explanation:
A beta is the measure of systematic risk associated to a stock or the portfolio. Systematic risk is the market risk that affects all the stocks in the market due to factors that are uncontrollable. Such a risk is what the companies compensate the investors for. Using the CAPM equation, we calculate the expected rate of return of a stock. The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketWe already have the values for r, rRF and rpM. Plugging them in the formula, we calculate the beta to be,
0.12 = 0.05 + Beta * 0.07
0.12 - 0.05 = Beta * 0.07
0.07/ 0.07 = Beta
Beta = 1
Link Co. purchased machinery that cost $3,000,000 on January 4, 2016. The entire cost was recorded as an expense. The machinery has a nine-year life and a $200,000 residual value. The error was discovered on December 20, 2018. Ignore income tax considerations. Before the correction was made, and before the books were closed on December 31, 2018, retained earnings was understated by:_________.a. $3,000,000.
b. $2,066,667.
c. $2,377,778
d. $2,333,333.
Answer:
c. $2,377,778
Explanation:
Recording the entire cost as expense would have understated Retained Earnings by $3,000,000
Annual Depreciation on machine = Purchase cost - Residual value / Useful life
= ($3,000,000 - $200,000) / 9
= $311,111
Depreciation would have been recorded for $622222 for 2 years had machinery been correctly recorded ($311,111 * 2) = $622,222
On December 20, 2018, the net understatement of Retained Earnings = $3,000,000 - $622,222
= $2,377,778
The following data relate to factory overhead cost for the production of 10,000 computers: Actual: Variable factory overhead $262,000 Fixed factory overhead 90,000 Standard: 14,000 hrs. at $25 350,000 If productive capacity of 100% was 15,000 hours and the total factory overhead cost budgeted at the level of 14,000 standard hours was $356,000, determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance, fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance. The fixed factory overhead rate was $6.00 per hour. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer:
Calculation of variable overhead controllable variance
Standard hours allowed for 10,000 computers = 14,000 hours
Budgeted variable expense = Standard hours allowed * variable overhead rate
= 14,000 * ($25 - $6)
= $266,000
Variable overhead controllable variance = Actual variable overhead expense - Budgeted variable overhead expense
= $262,000 - $266,000
=$4,000 (Unfavorable)
Calculation of fixed overhead volume variance:
Applied overhead = Number of computers produced * Fixed overhead rate
= 10,000 * $6.00
= $60,000
Budgeted fixed overhead = $90,000
Fixed overhead volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Applied fixed overhead
= $90,000 - $60,000
= $30,000 (Favorable)
Calculation of Total factory overhead volume variance:
Total factory overhead cost variance = Variable overhead controllable variance + Fixed overhead volume variance
= - $4,000 + $30,000
= $26,000 (Favorable)
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.
Last year Harrington Inc. had sales of $325,000 and a net income of $19,000, and its year-end assets were $250,000. The firm's total-debt-to-total-capital ratio was 15.0%. The firm finances using only debt and common equity and its total assets equal total invested capital. Based on the DuPont equation, what was the ROE
Answer:
8.94%
Explanation:
Firstly, we will need to find total equity and total debt of Harrington Inc inorder to apply the Dupont equation for getting ROE
Harrington's total debt = 15.00 % × $250,000
= $37,500
Harrington's total equity will be; applying accounting equation
Asset = Liabilities + Owner's equity
Owner's equity = Assets - Liabilities
= $250,000 - $37,500
= $212,500
Therefore, using the Dupont equation, we can calculate the ROE as;
(NI/Sales) × (Sales/Total assets) × (Total assets/Total common equity)
= 19,000/325,000 × 325,000 /250,000 × 250,000/212,500
= 8.94%
Morgan Company issues 10%, 20-year bonds with a par value of $760,000 that pay interest semiannually. The amount paid to the bondholders for each semiannual interest payment is.
Answer: $38,000
Explanation:
The company is supposed to pay bondholders an Interest of 10% per year according to the terms of the terms of the bond.
= 10% * 760,000
= $76,000
However, payments are to be made semi-annually which will be;
= 76,000 * 1/2
= $38,000
Deployment Specialists pays a current (annual) dividend of $1.00 and is expected to grow at 20% for 2 years and then at 4% thereafter. If the required return for Deployment Specialists is 8.5%, what is the intrinsic value of its stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$30.80
Explanation:
Intrinsic value
V0=D1/1+k +D2/(1+k)^2 +DH+PH/(1 +k)^H
Let plug in the formula
First step
V0=$1 × 1.2/(1+0.085) +($1 × 1.2)^2/(1+0.085)^2 +($1 × 1.2)^2*1.04/(0.085-0.04)*(1+0.085)^2
Second step
V0=1.2/1.085+1.44/1.007225+1.44*1.04/0.045*1.177225
Third step
V0=1.2/1.085+1.44/1.007225+1.4976/0.052975
Fourth step
V0=1.10599+1.42967+28.26993
V0=$30.80
Therefore the intrinsic value of its stock will be $30.80

Regulations that permit a regulated firm to cover its costs and to make a normal level of profit are commonly referred to as
Answer:
cost plus regulation
Explanation:
Cost plus regulation is generally used by the government to regulate monopolies (mainly natural monopolies like utilities, and others). The price that the monopoly can charge for its goods or services is set by the government and it should generally cover all of the company's costs plus allow it to make a "normal" profit.
JG Asset Services is recommending that you invest $1,275 in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures
Answer:
The amount that will be received when CD matures is $1514.30
Explanation:
To calculate the amount that will be received at the maturity of the CD, we simply need to calculate the future value of the invested amount using annual compounding. The formula for the future value that we will use is,
Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t
Where,
r is the rate of interestt is the time in yearsFuture value = 1275 * (1+0.035)^5
Future value = $1514.30
Endor Company begins the year with $110,000 of goods in inventory. At year-end, the amount in inventory has increased to $118,000. Cost of goods sold for the year is $1,300,000. Compute Endor’s inventory turnover and days’ sales in inventory. Assume that there are 365 days in the year
Answer:
11.40
32 days
Explanation:
Inventory turnover and days of sales of inventory are examples of activity ratios.
They are used to measure the efficiency of performing daily tasks
inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/ average inventory
Average inventory = ($118,000 + $110,000) / 2 = $114,000
Inventory turnover = $1,300,000 / $114,000 = 11.40
days of sales of inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 365 / 11.40 = 32 days

Explanation:
The following data were taken from the financial statements of Gates Inc. for the current fiscal year. Property, plant, and equipment (net) $971,600 Liabilities: Current liabilities $140,000 Note payable, 6%, due in 15 years 694,000 Total liabilities $834,000 Stockholders' equity: Preferred $4 stock, $100 par (no change during year) $834,000 Common stock, $10 par (no change during year) 834,000 Retained earnings: Balance, beginning of year $890,000 Net income 386,000 $1,276,000 Preferred dividends $33,360 Common dividends 130,640 164,000 Balance, end of year 1,112,000 Total stockholders' equity $2,780,000 Sales $21,141,000 Interest expense $41,640 Assuming that total assets were $3,433,000 at the beginning of the current fiscal year, determine the following. When required, round to one decimal place.
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%
Cameroon Corp. manufactures and sells electric staplers for $15.30 each. If 10,000 units were sold in December, and management forecasts 3.3% growth in sales each month, the number of electric stapler sales budgeted for March should be:
Answer:
Electric stapler sales budgeted for March should be: 11,023 units.
Explanation:
Apply the growth of 3.30% to each month starting December as follows :
December Sales = 10,000 units
January Sales = 10,000 × (1.033)^1 = 10,330 units
February Sales = 10,000 × (1.033)^2 = 10,671 units
March Sales = 10,000 × (1.033)^3 = 11,023 units
The firm receives an average of $20,000 in checks per day. The weighted average delay in clearing the checks received is 3 days. Meanwhile, the firm writes an average of $17,000 in checks to pay its suppliers per day. The usual clearing time for the checks the firm wrote is 2 days. The current interest rate is 0.015 percent per day. What is the most the firm should be willing to pay today (in a lump sum today) to eliminate its float entirely? A) 3000 B) 26000 C) 34000 D) 37000 E) 60000
Answer:
$26000
Explanation:
from the question;
check per day; 20000
delay: 3 days
checks to pay suppliers; 17000
clearing time 2 days
we first calculate collection flaot:
collection flaot = average amount of check x outstanding days
= 20000 x 3
= 60000
now we have to calculate disbursements float:
average amount of check x days to clear
= 17000 x 2
= 34000
with these two values we can get the net float
= collection flaot - disbursements float
= 60000 - 34000
= $26000
