A consultant was brought in to determine their average monthly resource utilization. After extensive analysis, the effective capacity averages 20,000 pounds/month. Therefore, the average safety capacity of the factory is _______ pounds/month.
Answer:
National Dog Week
herefore, the average safety capacity of the factory is __5,000__ pounds/month.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculation:
Theoretical capacity for the factory = 25,000
Effective capacity for the factory = 20,000
Safety capacity for the factory = 5,000
b) The safety capacity of National Dog Week describes the factory's capacity that is not being put to use currently but can be called to use when demand requires it. It is the difference between the factory total usable capacity and the effective currently being used capacity.

The required return on the stock of Moe's Pizza is 10.4 percent and aftertax required return on the company's debt is 3.28 percent. The company's market value capital structure consists of 65 percent equity. The company is considering a new project that is less risky than current operations and it feels the risk adjustment factor is minus 1.5 percent. The tax rate is 35 percent. What is the required return for the new project
Answer:
WACC - new project = 6.408% rounded off to 6.41%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure can consist of one or more of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC is calculated as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
w represents the weight of each component r represents the cost of each componentD, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equityrD * (1 - tax rate) is the after tax cost of debtWe first need to calculate the WACC of the company and then adjust it for the new project.
WACC = 35% * 3.28% + 65% * 10.4%
WACC = 7.908%
As the new project is less risky and has an adjustment factor of -1.5%, the required rate of return for the new project will be,
WACC - new project = 7.908% - 1.5%
WACC - new project = 6.408% rounded off to 6.41%

9. Received $14,000 cash from customers for contracts billed in (4).
Create a tabular analysis, show the effect of each transaction on the accounting equation. Put explanations for changes to Stockholders' Equity in the far right column. (If a transaction causes a decrease in Assets, Liabilities or Stockholders' Equity, place a negative sign (or parentheses) in front of the amount entered for the particular Asset, Liability or Equity item that was reduced.)
Answer:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $68,600
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the tabular analysis of the effect of each transaction on the accounting equation.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Assetes = Total assets balance = = $18,800 + $17,900 + 31,900 = $68,600
Liabilities = Total liabilities balance = $1,600
Stockholders' Equity = Total Common Stock balance + Total Net Income balance = $42,500 + $25,500 = $67,000
Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $1,600 + $67,000 = $68,600
Therefore, we have:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $68,600

Explanation:
Calculation to allocate these service department costs to the operating departments Using the direct method
Particulars Allocation Basis Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing
Cost as per primary data
$4,000 $14,000 $15,900 $12,600
SERVICE DEPARTMENT COSTS:
Maintenance allocation (S)
$0 $0 $1,000 $3,000
Personnel allocation (S)
$0 $0 $2,800 $11,200
Total Costs Allocated
$0 $0 $19,700 $26,800
Computation for the allocation of costs:
Maintenance = $4,000 *1,800/(1,800+5,400)
Maintenance = $4,000 *1,800/7,200
Maintenance =$1,000
Personnel = $14,000 *650/650+2,600
Personnel=$14,000 *650/3,250
Personnel=$2,800
Maintenance = $4,000 *5,400/(1,800+5,400)
Maintenance = $4,000 *5,400/7,200
Maintenance = $3,000
Personnel = $14,000 *2,600/650+2,600
Personnel = $14,000 *2,600/3,250
Personnel = $11,200
Therefore allocation of these service department costs to the operating departments Using the direct method will be :
Maintenance $0
Personnel $0
Printing $19,700
Developing $26,800
You run a construction firm. You have just won a contract to build a government office building Building it will require an investment of $10 million today and $5 million in one year. The government will pay you $20 million in one year upon the building's completion. Suppose the cash flows and their times of payment are certain, and the risk-free interest rate is 10%. What is the NPV of this opportunity? b. How can your firm turn this NPV into cash today?
Answer:
$3.64 million
The Npv can be turned into cash by borrowing $18.18 million today and paying back in one year time with the $20 million that would be paid
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-10 million
Cash flow in year 1 = $20 million - $5 million = 15 million
I = 10%
NPV = 3.63 million
The Npv can be turned into cash by borrowing $18.18 million today as the present value of 20 million is 18.18 million
20 million / 1.10 = 18.18 million
To find the NPV 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 NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute

Kirnon Clinic uses client-visits as its measure of activity. During July, the clinic budgeted for 3,250 client-visits, but its actual level of activity was 3,160 client-visits. The clinic has provided the following data concerning the formulas to be used in its budgeting: Fixed element per month Variable element per client-visit Revenue - $ 39.10 Personnel expenses $ 35,100 $ 10.30 Medical supplies 1,100 7.10 Occupancy expenses 8,100 1.10 Administrative expenses 5,100 0.20 Total expenses $ 49,400 $ 18.70 The activity variance for net operating income in July would be closest to:
Answer:
$1,836 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the activity variance for net operating income in July is shown below:
net income is
= $39.10 - $18.70
= $20.40
And, the difference in activity is
= 3,250 - 3,160

The following data are for the production of single batches of two products, Camshafts and Swing Drives during the month of August:
Camshafts Swing Drives
Units produced 1,500 900
Machine hours 4 5
Direct labor hours 300 500
Direct labor cost $7,000 $12,000
Direct materials cost $40,000 $30,000
Tons of materials 10 7
Setup hours 5 8
Determine the unit costs of Camshafts and Swing Drives using ABC. Round answers to the nearest cent.
Camshafts $ _____
Swing Drives $_____
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine Setup= 600,000 / 15,000= $40 per setup hour
Material handling= 90,000 / 3,000= $30 per ton of material
Machine operation= 420,000 / 12,000= $35 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate costs to each product:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Camshafts:
Machine Setup= 40*5= $200
Material handling= 30*10= $300
Machine operation= 35*4= $140
Total allocated costs= $640
Swing Drives:
Machine Setup= 40*8= $320
Material handling= 30*7= $210
Machine operation= 35*5= $175
Total allocated costs= $705
Finally, the unitary cost:
Camshafts:
Total cost= 40,000 + 7,000 + 640= $47,640
Unitary cost= 47,640 / 1,500= $31.76
Swing Drives:
Total cost= 30,000 + 12,000 + 705= $42,705
Unitary cost= 42,705 / 900= $47.45

Bentley Enterprises uses process costing to control costs in the manufacture of Dust Sensors for the mining industry. The following information pertains to operations for November. (CMA Exam adapted) Units Work in process, November 1st 16,300 Started in production during November 100,600 Work in process, November 30th 24,600 The beginning inventory was 60% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion costs. The ending inventory was 90% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion costs. Costs pertaining to November are as follows: Beginning inventory: direct materials, $55,160; direct labor, $20,620; manufacturing overhead, $15,540. Costs incurred during the month: direct materials, $470,970; direct labor, $190,740; manufacturing overhead, $399,080. What are the total costs in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory assuming Bentley uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing
Answer:
$146,443.80
Explanation:
Step 1 : Equivalent Units of Production
FIFO method is interested with Units worked on during the Production Period. Therefore make sure you begin by finishing Opening Work in Process Units.
1. Materials
To Finish Work in Process Inventory (16,300 x 40%) 6,520
Started and Completed (100,600 - 16,300) x 100 % 84,300
Ending Inventory (24,600 x 90%) 22,140
Equivalent units of Production 112,960
2. Conversion Cost
To Finish Work in Process Inventory (16,300 x 80%) 13,040
Started and Completed (100,600 - 16,300) x 100 % 84,300
Ending Inventory (24,600 x 40%) 9,840
Equivalent units of Production 107,180
Step 2 : Cost per equivalent unit
FIFO method is only interested in Costs incurred during the Production Period, therefore Cost in Beginning Inventory must be ignored as these were accounted for in previous year.
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units
Materials = $470,970 ÷ 112,960 = $4.17
Conversion Costs = ($190,740 + $399,080) ÷ 107,180 = $5.50
Step 3 : Cost in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory
Work-in-Process Inventory = Material Cost + Conversion Cost
= 22,140 x $4.17 + 9,840 x $5.50
= $146,443.80
Conclusion :
The total costs in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory assuming Bentley uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing is $146,443.80

Patricia purchased a home on January 1, 2017 for $1,420,000 by making a down payment of $100,000 and financing the remaining $1,320,000 with a 30-year loan, secured by the residence, at 6 percent. During year 2017 and 2018, Patricia made interest-only payments on the loan of $79,200. What amount of the $79,200 interest expense Patricia paid during 2018 may she deduct as an itemized deduction
Answer: $60,000
Explanation:
The maximum amount deductible is based on a mortgage of $1,000,000 and the interest rate of the mortgage being paid.
Interest on $1,000,000 at 6% is:
= 6% * 1,000,000
= $60,000
Only $60,000 of the $79,200 may be deducted.
Trainees are put through a two-month school. The fixed cost of running one session of this school is $150,000. Any number of sessions can be run during the year but must be scheduled so that the airline always has enough flight attendants. The cost of having excess attendants is simply the salary that they receive, which is $15,000 per month. How many sessions of the school
Answer:
The airline training school can run maximum of 10 sessions.
Explanation:
There can be 10 sessions which can be held at the training school. The airline school needs to have enough attendants so that they do not run a session in spare capacity. If a session is run with few attendants then it will cost $15,000 per session which is an additional cost burden for the airline training school.

Mongar Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours. Budgeted and actual overhead costs for the most recent month appear below:
Original Budget Actual Costs
Variable overhead costs:
Supplies $7,980 $8,230
Indirect labor 29,820 29,610
Total variable manufacturing overhead cost $37,800 $37,840
The original budget was based on 4,200 machine-hours. The company actually worked 4,350 machine-hours during the month and the standard hours allowed for the actual output were 4,190 machine-hours. What was the overall variable overhead efficiency variance for the month?
a. $130 Unfavorable
b. $950 Favorable
c. $1,440 Unfavorable
d. $1,310 Favorable
Answer:
c. $1,440 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Standard hours - Actual working hours) * Standard Rate
Variable overhead efficiency variance = ($4,190 hours - $4,350 hours)*($37,800/4,200 hours)
Variable overhead efficiency variance = ($4,190 hours - $4,350 hours)*$9 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance = 160 hours*$9 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance = $1,440 Unfavorable
The law of diminishing returns states that as additional increments of resources ______________, the marginal benefit from those additional increments _______________. Select the correct answer below: are reduced, will decline eventually are added; will decline eventually are added; will increase eventually are reduced; will remain the same
Answer:
are added; will decline eventually
Explanation:
the point of diminishing returns sets in when the optimum capacity has been attained. at this level, increasing production by any extra unit would only bring about little or Fall in output.
if we hold the other factors of production constant/fixed while increasing one input, we will get toa stage where more additions of this input by one unit would only bring about decrease in output or cause output to fall.
therefore in summary this law States that as more increments are added, marginal benefit from increments declines eventually.
A discount term of 20/15/5 means: Group of answer choices based on the timing of payment, 1 of the 3 discount options can be applied based on the size of the order, 1 of the 3 options can be applied if all conditions are met, all 3 discounts can be applied to the list price all three discounts are possible but it is rare that all three are able to be applied
Answer: If all conditions are met, all 3 discounts can be applied to the list price
Explanation:
This is a series discount which means the following:
20 is for 20% off the list price which leaves 80%.
15 is for 15% off which leaves 85% and,
5 is for 5% off which leaves 95%.
If all conditions placed by the seller are met, all 3 discounts can be applied to the list price.
They are applied by multiplying the discounted price proportions.
= 0.8 * 0.85 * 0.95
= 0.646 will be the discounted price.

The price of Microsoft is $37 per share and that of Apple is $43 per share. The price of Microsoft increases to $42 per share after one year and to $47 after two years. Also, shares of Apple increase to $49 after one year and to $59 after two years. If your portfolio comprises 100 shares of each security, what is your portfolio return in year 1 and year 2
Answer: 13.75% ; 16.48%
Explanation:
Year 0:
Microsoft: Current value = 100 at $37 = $3700
Apple: Current value = 100 at $43 = $4300
Portfolio value = $3700 + $4300 = $8000
Year 1:
Microsoft: value at year 1 = 100 at $42 = $4200
Apple: value at year 1= 100 at $49 = $4900
Portfolio value = $4200 + $4900 = $9100
Year 2:
Microsoft: value at year 2 = 100 at $47 = $4700
Apple: value at year 2 = 100 at $59 = $5900
Portfolio value = $4700 + $5900 = $10600
Therefore, Portfolio returns for year 1 will be:
= (value at the end of year 1 / current value) - 1
= (9100 / 8000) - 1
= 1.1375 - 1
= 0.1375
= 13.75%
Portfolio returns for year 2 will be:
= (value at the end of year 2 / value at the end of year 1) - 1
= (10600 / 9100) - 1
= 16.48%
In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. Several theories explain how this might happen.
For example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. Consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. If the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will _________, and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by ____________the quantity of soybeans supplied. If other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to __________ the natural level of output in the short run. Suppose the economy's short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve is given by the following equation:
Answer:
1. A fall in prices of soybean
2. Reduce quantity she supplies
3. Falls below
Explanation:
We are to fill in the blanks here
1. In this question the farmer expected price level of 100 but the actual price realized was 90 so there would be a fall in the price of soybean.
2. If farmer feels that price of other goods caused this fall, she would reduce the quantity of soybean that she supplies
3. The quantity supplied is then going to fall below natural level in the short run
According to the literature on organizational conflict, constructive conflict Question 1 options: tends to produce beneficial outcomes, particularly better decision making. is the main source of conflict in organizations. is the only conflict management style that has high assertiveness and low cooperativeness. is one of the most common outcomes of organizational conflict.
Answer:
tends to produce beneficial outcomes, particularly better decision making.
Explanation:
Constructive conflict occurs when there are problems that need to be solved by a team in the organization, and thus influence people to cooperate with creative and innovative ideas for solving the problem that can help to produce beneficial results, especially better decisions.
Constructive conflict helps the organization to be more productive by aggregating different ideas about the same problem and focusing on the solution to the resolution, which increases the sense of team integration, participation and understanding of different alternatives that will be improved so that the organization has the best decision making for such a problem.

The cashew industry is perfectly competitive and until now each of the identical firms in the industry have been earning zero economic profits while selling ay units of output each (for a combined industry-wide total of qy units) at a market equilibrium price of P1 per unit. An unexpected increase in the demand for cashews raises the market equilibrium price to P2, which creates a situation in which P2 exceeds MC at 91 units of output.
a. If the firms continued producing 91 units each, would their combined output of cashews be too little, too much, or just right to achieve allocative efficiency?
i. Just right
ii. Too much
iii. Too little
b. In the long run, what will happen to the supply of cashews and the price of cashews?
i. The industry's supply of cashews will exceed Q1 and the price of cashews will equal P1.
ii. The industry's supply of cashews will be less than Q1 and the price of cashews will be less than P1.
iii. The industry's supply of cashews will equal Q1 and the price of cashews will equal P2.
iv. The industry's supply of cashews will exceed Q1 and the price of cashews will equal P2.
Answer:
a. iii. Too little
b. i. The industry's supply of cashews will exceed Q1 and the price of cashews will equal P1.
Explanation:
Allocative efficiency refers to the point in production where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal cost. As this is a perfectly competitive market, marginal revenue is the same as price which as shown in the question, exceeds Marginal cost. The firms are therefore producing too little to achieve allocative efficiency and need to produce more to make price and marginal cost equal.
In the long run, the firms will produce more such that supply would exceed the original quantity supplied of Q1. This will lead to the price falling back to P1 as there is now less scarcity.
