Answer: $8,586.96 Favorable
Explanation:
Direct Labor Rate Variance = Actual Cost - Standard Cost of Actual Hours
Actual cost = Actual direct labor hours * Actual rate
= 7,736 * 12.10
= $93,605.60
Standard cost of actual hours = Actual hours * Standard cost
= 7,736 * 13.21
= $102,192.56
Direct labor rate variance:
= 93,605.60 - 102,192.56
= $8,586.96 Favorable
Favorable because actual cost was less than the budgeted standard cost.
ABC Corp. issued $100,000 of bonds at a premium; as a result, the company: A. received more than $100,000. B. received less than $100,000. C. will pay the bondholders more money on the maturity date than it received on the issue date. D. received $100,000.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
If the yield to maturity is greater than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a discount. Bond issuers would receive less than the face value of the bond as payment when the bond is sold
If the yield to maturity is less than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a premium. Bond issuers would receive a greater sum than the face value of the bond as payment when the bond is sold
If a bond’s coupon rate is equal to its yield to maturity, then the bond is selling at par. Bond issuers would receive an amount equal to the face value of the bond as payment when the bond is sold
Two investment centers at Marshman Corporation have the following current-year income and asset data:
Investment Center A Investment Center B
Investment center income$525,000 $635,000
Investment center average invested assets$4,600,000 $3,050,000
The return on investment (ROI) for Investment Center A is:________.
Answer: 11.41%
Explanation:
Return on assets refers to the amount of income earned per capital invested. It is calculated by the formula:
= Net income / Average assets invested
ROI for Center A will therefore be:
= 525,000 / 4,600,000
= 0.1141
= 11.41%

In the case when the retained earnings in increased so it created the large amount of cash that should be held in the retained earning account of the company in the balance sheet but the same should not have any kind of impact for beating the expectation of the investor for increase in the stock price in near future
So, the option c is correct
Alyeska Services Company, a division of a major oil company, provides various services to the operators of the North Slope oil field in Alaska. Data concerning the most recent year appear below: Sales $ 17,700,000 Net operating income $ 5,300,000 Average operating assets $ 35,100,000 Required: 1. Compute the margin for Alyeska Services Company. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. Compute the turnover for Alyeska Services Company. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 3. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for Alyeska Services Company.
Answer:Profit margin = 29.94%
Asset Turnover =0.50
Return on investment (ROI) =15.09%
Explanation:
Given
Sales for the year = $ 17,700,000
Net Operating Income = $ 5,300,000
Average Operating Assets = $ 35,100,000
a)Profit margin = (Net operating income/Net sales ) x 100%
= $5,300,000/$17,700,000 x 100% = 29.94%.
This shows that the Alyeska Services company has ability to turn income to profit by 29.94%
b. Asset Turnover = Total Sales/ Average Total Assets = $17,700,000/$35,100,000 = 0.50
c. Return on investment (ROI) =Net income/Total investment x 100%
= $ 5,300,000/ $ 35,100,000 x 100% =15.09%

Given the following cost and activity observations for Smithson Company's utilities, use the high-low method to calculate Smithson's fixed costs per month. Cost Machine Hours January $88,020 9,800 February 150,430 17,700 March 103,350 11,700 April 129,310 15,000 a.$33,900 b.$18,000 c.$8,500 d.$10,600
Answer:
d. $10,600
Explanation:
Variable cost = (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost) / (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost = ($150,430 - $88,020) / (17,700 - 9,800)
Variable cost = $62,410 / 7,900
Variable cost = $7.9
Fixed cost = Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit*Highest activity units)
Fixed cost = $150,430 - ($7.9*17,700)
Fixed cost = $150,430 - $139,830
Fixed cost = $10,600

Which of the following The holding-period return (HPR) on a share of stock is equal to(s) the level of real interest rates? I) The supply of savings by households and business firms II) The demand for investment funds III) The government's net supply and/or demand for funds
Answer: D. I, II, and III.
Explanation:
The demand for investment funds determines the demand for loanable funds and when this is higher than the supply, the rate increases. The reverse it true. It therefore affects real interest rates.
The savings of households and business firms are the source of loanable funds so if these are high relative to demand, the rate will decrease. The reverse is true.
Government demand for funds will increase interest rates as the supply will decrease when the government borrows massively. The reverse is true.
All three therefore impart real interest rates.
World-Tour Co. has just now paid a dividend of $2.83 per share (Div0); its dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 6 percent per year forever. If the required rate of return on the stock is 16 percent, what is the current value of the stock, after paying the dividend
Answer:
the current value of the stock is $30
Explanation:
The computation of the current value of the stock is given below:
Price of stock today is
= Dividend per share × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)
= $2.83 × (1 + 0.06) ÷ (0.16 - 0.06)
= $2.9998 ÷ 0.10
= $29.9980
= $30
Hence, the current value of the stock is $30
If the price of oil, a close substitute for coal, increases then:
a. the demand curve for coal will shift to the right.
b. equilibrium price and quantity of coal will not change.
c. supply curve for coal will shift to the right.
d. demand curve for coal will shift to the left.
e. supply curve of coal will shift to the left.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
if the price of a good increases, the demand for the substitute increases and if the price of the good reduces, the demand for the substitute increases.
If the price of oil increases, it becomes cheaper to buy coal. As a result, there would be a rightward shift of the demand curve for coal. As a result, the equilibrium price and quantity would increase
XYZ has two divisions: South and West. Overall net operating income is $26,900. South Division's segment margin is $42,800 and West Division's segment margin is $29,900. What is the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions?
a. $45,800.
b. S56800.
с.$69,700.
d. $72,700.
Answer:
a. $45,800.
Explanation:
The computation of the common fixed expense not traceable is given below
Combined segment margin of two divisions ($42,800 + $29,900) $72,700
Less: net income -$26,900
Non traceable fixed cost $45,800
Hence, the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions is $45,800
Therefore the option a is correct

Example Payback period of a new machine Let’s say that the owner of Perfect Images Salon is considering the purchase of a new tanning bed. It costs $10,000 and is likely to bring in after-tax cash inflows of $4,000 in the first year, $4,500 in the second year, $10,000 in the 3rd year, and $8,000 in the 4th The firm has a policy of buying equipment only if the payback period is 2 years or less. Calculate the payback period of the tanning bed and state whether the owner would buy it or not. Calculate the discounted payback period of the tanning bed, stated in Example 1 above, by using a discount rate of 10%.
Answer:
Payback PeriodPayback period = Year before payback + Amount left to be paid back / Cashflow in year of payback
In year 2, the bed would have paid back:
= 4,000 + 4,500
= $8,500
Would be left with:
= 10,000 - 8,500
= $1,500
Payback period = 2 + 1,500 / 10,000
= 2.15 years
Company will not buy as payback period is more than 2 years.
Discounted payback period.Discount the cashflows first:
Year 1 = 4.000 / 1.1 = $3,636.36
Year 2 = 4,500 / 1.1² = $3,719
Year 3 = 10,000 / 1.1³ = $7,513.15
Year 4 = 8,000 / 1.1⁴ = $5,464.11
Discounted payback period = Year before payback + Amount left to be paid back / Cashflow in year of payback
= 2 + (10,000 - 3,636.36 - 3,719) / 7,513.15
= 2 + 2,644.64 / 7,513.15
= 2.35 years
Accurate Metal Company sold 36,500 units of its product at a price of $340 per unit. Total variable cost per unit is $179, consisting of $172 in variable production cost and $7 in variable selling and administrative cost. Compute the manufacturing margin for the company under variable costing.
Answer: $6,132,000
Explanation:
The manufacturing margin for the company under variable costing will use the variable production costs only as these are the variable costs incurred during manufacturing:
Variable manufacturing margin = ( Sales price - Variable cost per unit) * number of units
= (340 - 172) * 36,500
= 168 * 36,500
= $6,132,000

Tan Corporation of Japan has two regional divisions with headquarters in Osaka and Yokohama. Selected data on the two divisions follow: Division Osaka Yokohama Sales $ 9,400,000 $ 24,000,000 Net operating income $ 752,000 $ 2,400,000 Average operating assets $ 2,350,000 $ 8,000,000 Required: 1. For each division, compute the return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Assume that the company evaluates performance using residual income and that the minimum required rate of return for any division is 18%. Compute the residual income for each division.
Answer:
1. Osaka ROI 32 %
Yokohoma ROI 30%
2.Osaka Residual income $329,000
Yokohoma Residual income $960,000
Explanation:
1. Computation for return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover.
Using this formula
ROI = Net operating income/Average operating assets
Let plug in the morning
Osaka ROI = 752,000/2,350,000
Osaka ROI =32 %
Yokohoma ROI = 2,400,000/$ 8,000,000
Yokohoma ROI =30%
Therefore for return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover is :
Osaka ROI 32 %
Yokohoma ROI 30%
2. Computation for the residual income for each division.
Using this formula
Residual income = Net operating income - Required return
Let plug in the formula
Osaka Residual income= 752,000 - (2,350,000*18%)
Osaka Residual income= 752,000-423,000
Osaka Residual income = $329,000
Yokohoma Residual income = 2,400,000 - ($8,000,000*18%)
Yokohoma Residual income = 2,400,000-1,440,000
Yokohoma Residual income= $960,000
Therefore the residual income for each division is:
Osaka Residual income $329,000
Yokohoma Residual income $960,000
Why do tourism business have market cost for the printing
Answer:
Launching tourist ventures involves overcoming two major hurdles: first, the venture must be
financed; and second, demand must be generated. In particular, the marketing of tourism and
hospitality ventures provides special challenges, the ability to reach the target market and convince
them to travel to remote locations being a critical success factor (Dolli, N.; Pinfold, J.F., 1997). Thus,
the main issue related to the marketing of tourist services is not their production, but their sale and
promotion, so as to ensure that all the consumers’ needs are comprehensively satisfied. (Nistoreanu,
P., 2006).
It is in this context that both the producers as well as the suppliers (intermediaries) of tourism services
should take into consideration the fact that a touristic product is sold only if there is a demand on the
market for that particular product. This means that suppliers have the possibility to either offer what is
requested on the market, responding to the consumers’ needs, or to stimulate or generate the demand
for a certain product so as to facilitate the selling of that product. In both cases, however, the
producers and suppliers need to apply a promotion strategy, through which potential clients may be
informed with regard to the offer on the market, as well as induce the clients’ desire to consume a
certain product.
Explanation:

a. True
b. False
Answer:
XYZ Company
In conducting a SWOT analysis, the launch of the competitor's product represents an opportunity.
b. False
Explanation:
The launch of the competitor's product represents a threat to XYZ Company. It reduces XYZ Company's market competitiveness and profitability. XYZ Company may even be driven out of the market by the competitor, thus leading to massive loss for the company. However, threats must be overcome and turned into opportunities for future product development.
A beautiful bridge is being built over the river that runs through a major city in your state. The cost of the bridge is estimated at $600 million. Annual costs of the bridge will be $200,000, and the bridge is estimated to last a very long time. If accountants in city hall use 3% as the interest rate for analysis, what is the annualized cost of the bridge project
Answer:
$18.20 million
Explanation:
Net present value = Initial cost + (Annual cost/3%)
Net present value = $600 million + $200,000/3%
Net present value = $600 million + $6.67 million
Net present value = $606.67 million
Annualized cost = Net present value * 3%
Annualized cost = $606.67 million * 3%
Annualized cost = $18.20 million
So, the annualized cost of the bridge project is $18.20 million.
Cary Inc. reported net credit sales of $300,000 for the current year. The unadjusted credit balance in its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is $500. The company has experienced bad debt losses of 1% of credit sales in prior periods. Using the percentage of credit sales method, what amount should the company record as an estimate of Bad Debt Expense?
a) $2,500
b) $3,000
c) $2,980
d) $3,200
Answer: b. $3,000
Explanation:
The company's bad debt for the current year is said to be 1% of the credit sales because this is the usual rate for the past periods.
The bad debt expense for this year is therefore:
= Bad debt percentage * Credit sales
= 1% * 300,000
= $3,000
This will then be posted to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.
A company is considering eliminating a department that has an annual contribution margin of $33,000 and $66,000 in annual fixed costs. Of the fixed costs, $16,500 cannot be avoided. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company of eliminating this department would be: Multiple Choice ($33,000) $33,000 ($16,500) $16,500
Answer:
($16,500)
Explanation:
Calculation to determine The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company of eliminating this department would be
First step is calculate the Avoidable fixed costs
Avoidable fixed costs = $66,000 − $16,500
Avoidable fixed costs = $49,500
Now let determine Segment Margin
Contribution Margin $33,000
Less Avoidable fixed costs $49,500
Segment Margin ($16,500)
Therefore The annual (disadvantage) for the company of eliminating this department would be ($16,500)
Rachel is preparing to open her own raft rental business, cleverly named Rachel's Rafts. She figures out that her fixed costs will be $7,500 and her unit variable costs are $2 per raft. She plans to rent all 2,500 rafts she has on hand. What is Rachel's breakeven price
Answer:
selling price= $5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed cost= $7,500
Unitary variable cost= $2
Break-even point= 2,500 units
The break-even point is the number of units to sell to cover the fixed costs. At this level, net income is zero.
So given the costs structure and 2,500 units to sell, the selling price that provides the break-even point is:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ (selling price - unitary variable cost)
2,500 = 7,500 / (selling price - 2)
2,500selling price - 5,000 = 7,500
2,500selling price = 12,500
selling price = 12,500 / 2,500
selling price= $5
Altex Inc. manufactures two products: car wheels and truck wheels. To determine the amount of overhead to assign to each product line, the controller, Robert Hermann, has developed the following information.
Car Truck
Estimated wheels produced 40,000 10,000
Direct labor hours per wheel 1 3
Total estimated overhead costs for the two product lines are $770,000.
Required:
a. Calculate overhead rate.
b. Compute the overhead cost assigned to the car wheels and truck wheels, assuming that direct labor hours is used to allocate overhead costs.
A) Direct labor hrs for car wheels = estimated wheels *direct labor per wheel
40,000 *1hr = 40,000
Direct labor hrs for Truck
10,000 * 3hr= 30,000
total direct labor hrs 40,000+30,000 = 70,000 hrs
Overhead rate is total est oh cost/ total direct labor hrs
770,000/70,000= 11.00
B) Car truck wheels 40,000*11 =440,000
Truck wheels 10,000*11=110,000
The Economic Order Quantity is when: holding costs equal ordering costs total costs are minimized the product cost is not considered to determine the quantity to be purchased all of the above none of the above
Answer: all of the above
Explanation:
At the Economic Order Quantity level, the company is enjoying the lowest cost possible in relation to product ordering and storage because they are ordering just enough quantities that they are able to sell them just in time to order some new goods.
For this to happen, the holding cost must be equal to the ordering costs. At the EOQ, the product cost is irrelevant when the quantity to be bought is to be determined because it is minimized.
During its most recent fiscal year, Raphael Enterprises sold 270,000 electric screwdrivers at a price of $17.10 each. Fixed costs amounted to $729,000 and pretax income was $999,000. What amount should have been reported as variable costs in the company's contribution margin income statement for the year in question
Answer:
$2,889,000
Explanation:
Sales units = 270,000 units
Sale Price = $17.10
Fixed cost = $729,000
Sales Value = 270,000 * $17.10
Sales Value = $4,617,000
Contribution Margin = Sales- Fixed cost
Contribution Margin = $4,617,000 - $729,000
Contribution Margin = $3,888,000
Variable Cost = Contribution margin- Pretax income
Variable Cost = $3,888,000 - $999,000
