Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.
First step is the Computation of Group depreciation rate, group life and depreciation for 2016
Assets Original Residual Depreciation Estimated Depreciation
Cost Value Cost Life-Years per year-SLM
Stoves $15,000-$3,000= $12,000 6 $2,000 ($12,000/6=$2,000)
Refrigerators $10,000-$1,000=$9,000 5 $1,800 ($9,000/5=$1,800)
Dishwashers $8,000-$500=$7,500 4 $1,875
($7,500/4=$1,875)
Total $33,000 $4,500 $28,500 $5,675
Now let determine the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.
Calculation for group depreciation rate using this formula
Group Depreciation Rate = Total depreciation per year ÷ Total original cost
Let plug in the formula
Group depreciation rate = $5,675 ÷ $33,000*100
Group depreciation rate= 17.197%
Calculation for Group life using this formula
Group life = Total depreciation cost ÷ Total depreciation per year
Let plug in the formula
Group life = $28,500 ÷ $5,675
Group life = 5.02 years
Calculation for Depreciation for 2016 using this formula
Depreciation for 2016= Original Cost × Group Depreciation Rate
Let plug in the formula
Depreciation for 2016 = $33,000 × 0.17197
Depreciation for 2016= $5,675
Therefore the group depreciation rate is 17.197%, group life is 5.02 years, and depreciation for 2016 is $5,675

Fones Inc. and Speed Dial Corp. are two competitors in the mobile phone market. The cost incurred by each company to manufacture smartphones is $200 per unit. Although both the companies sell their smartphones at the same price, Speed Dial Corp. has a larger market share in the smartphone industry. What does this imply
Answer: C. Speed Dial Corp has been able to offer more perceived value than Fones Inc.
Explanation:
Both companies incur the same costs to produce the phone and also sell at the same price. This means that they should be selling the same number of phones in theory. This is not the case however as Speed Dial Corp is selling more.
The reason Speed Dial must be selling more phones is that they sell a better phone for the same price. In offering more value to the customer for the same price, the customers are buying more from Speed Dial than from Fones because they are getting a better deal for the same price which means that Speed Dial's phone is undervalued.
On January 1, 2019, Wasson Company purchased a delivery vehicle costing $36,500. The vehicle has an estimated 6-year life and a $3,500 residual value. What is the vehicle's book value as of December 31, 2020, assuming Wasson uses the straight-line depreciation method
Answer:
Book value= $25,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $36,500
Residual value= $3,500
Useful life= 6 years
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (36,500 - 3,500) / 6
Annual depreciation= $5,500
Now, the accumulated depreciation and book value:
Accumulated depreciation= 5,500*2= $11,000
Book value= 36,500 - 11,000
Book value= $25,500
Before month-end adjustments are made, the February 28 trial balance of Neutral Milk Hotel contains revenue of $7,000 and expenses of $4,400. Adjustments are necessary for the following items: Depreciation for February is $1,800. Revenue recognized but not yet billed is $2,700. Accrued interest expense is $700. Revenue collected in advance that is now recognized is $2,500. Portion of prepaid insurance expired during February is $400.InstructionsCalculate the correct net income for Neutral Milk Hotel’s Income Statement for February.
Answer: $4,900
Explanation:
Net income will be:
= (Revenue + Revenue recognized but not yet billed + Revenue collected in advance that is now recognized) - Expenses - Depreciation - Accrued interest expense - Portion of prepaid insurance for the month
= (7,000 + 2,700 + 2,500) - 4,400 - 1,800 - 700 - 400
= $4,900
Current interest rates are 8%. You want to buy a long-term bond with a face value of $1000 that pays a coupon rate of 10%. Which of the following prices is feasible?
a. $888.88
b. $1,000.00
c. $1,111.11
d. Not enough information to answer.
e. None of the above is feasible.
Answer: c. $1,111.11
Explanation:
When a bond's coupon rate is higher than the prevailing interest rate, the bond will be more sought after because it is paying more than the market is paying. As a result, the price of the bond will be higher than its par value to reflect the increased demand for it.
In other words, when a bond coupon rate is higher than the interest rate, the price will be higher than par. This is the case here so the bond will be selling at a higher price than $1,000 and the only option higher than $1,000 is option c at $1,111.11.

Ellen Co. has offered their customers a 1% discount off the amount owed if they pay within 15 days of receiving their bill. Handler Company owed Ellen Co. $2,185 as of May 1st and paid Ellen Co. on May 7th. How much cash did Handler Company send to Ellen Co. on May 7th?
Answer:
Money send to Ellen = $2163.15
Explanation:
Discount offered by the Ellen Co. = 1%
Owed amount = $2185
Since the amount is repaid within 15 days to the offer of a 1% discount will be applicable. So the Handler will send an amount that is 1% less than the actual amount.
Money send to Ellen = 2185 - (1% x 2185)
Money send to Ellen = $2163.15

Bella, Inc. manufactures two kinds of bagstotes and satchels. The company allocates manufacturing overhead using a single plantwide rate with direct labor cost as the allocation base. Estimated overhead costs for the year are$25,750. Additional estimated information is given below. Totes Satchels Direct materials cost per unit $33 $44Direct labor cost per unit $52 $60Number of units 520 370Calculate the pre-determined overhead allocation rate.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given that estimated overhead costs for the year = $25,750
Bagstotes:
Direct materials cost per unit = $33
Direct labor cost per unit = $52
Number of units = 520
Satchels
Direct materials cost per unit = $44
Direct labor cost per unit = $60
Number of units = 370
Estimated direct labor =
(Direct labor cost per unit × No of units) of totes + (Direct labor cost per unit × No of units) of Satchels
= ($52 × 520) + ($60 × 370)
= $27,040 + $22,200
= $29,240
Predetermine overhead allocation rate:
= Estimated overhead / Estimated direct labor × 100
= $25,750 / $29,240 × 100
= 88.06%

The following labor standards have been established for a particular product:
Standard labor hours per unit of output 4.4 hours
Standard labor rate $16.70 per hour
The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month:
Actual hours worked 5,200 hours
Actual total labor cost $87,360
Actual output 1,100 units
Required:
a. What is the labor rate variance for the month?
b. What is the labor efficiency variance for the month?
Answer:

= ($16.70 - $16.8) × 5,200
= $520 Unfavourable
b. Labor efficiency variance
= (SH - AH) × AR
(4.4 × 1,100) - 5,200) × $16.70
= (4,840 - 5,200) × $16.70
= $6,012 Unfavourable
Gamble Corporation had beginning inventory $100,000, cost of goods purchased $700,000, and ending inventory $140,000. What was Gamble's inventory turnover? Group of answer choices 5 times. 5.5 times. 5.83 times. 6.6 times.

Required:
a. Calculate margin, turnover, and ROl for the year ended December 31, 2016.
b. Calculate ROE for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Answer:
A. Margin 14.75%
Turnover 0.46 times
ROI 6.85%
B. ROE 12.17%
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the margin, turnover, and ROl for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Calculation for MARGIN
Using this formula
Margin=Net income/Sales
Let plug in the formula
Margin=$38,340/$260,000
Margin=0.1475*100
Margin=14.75%
Calculation for TURNOVER
Using this formula
Turnover=Sales /Average total assets
Let plug in the formula
Turnover=$260,000/$560,000
Turnover=0.46 times
Calculation for ROI
Using this formula
ROI=Net income/Average total assets
Let plug in the formula
ROI=$38,340/$560,000
ROI=0.0685*100
ROI=6.85%
Therefore the margin is 14.75%, turnover is 0.46 times and ROl is 6.85% for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The theory which states that problems arise in corporations because top management no longer is willing to bear the brunt of their decisions unless they own a substantial amount of stock in the corporation is called
Answer:
Agency theory.
Explanation:
A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.
This ultimately implies that, a corporation is a corporate organization that owns or controls its business in two or more countries.
Typically, it is considered to be one of the most complicated and expensive type of organization. Generally, a corporation is considered to be perpetual in nature and it is a body that comprises of a group of people such as directors, shareholders etc., who act as a single entity.
One of the advantage of a corporation is that, owners have limited liability for debt to the extent to which they have invested and as such are not personally liable for some of debt owed by corporation.
The theory which states that problems arise in corporations because top management no longer is willing to bear the brunt of their decisions unless they own a substantial amount of stock in the corporation is called agency theory.

1. Jupiter Explorers has $9,800 in sales. The profit margin is 5%. There are 4,500 shares of stock outstanding. The market price per share is $1.90.
What is the price-earnings ratio?
2. A firm has a return on equity of 18%. The total asset turnover is 1.7 and the profit margin is 6%. The total equity is $7,200.
What is the amount of the net income?
Answer:
17.43
132.19
Explanation:
Net profit margin is an example of a profitability ratio. It measures he ability of a firm to earn a profit from its assets
Net profit margin = Net income / Revenue
0.05 = x / 9800
net income = 490
net income per share = 490 / 4500 = 0.109
p/e = 1.9 / 0.109 = 17.43
Using the Dupont formula, ROE can be determined using:
ROE = Net profit margin x asset turnover x financial leverage
ROE = (Net income / Sales) x (Sales/Total Assets) x (total asset / common equity)

Swifty Corporation has beginning work in process inventory of $128000 and total manufacturing costs of $277000. If cost of goods manufactured is $280000, what is the cost of the ending work in process inventory?
a. $125000
b. $131000.
c. $140000.
d. $110000.
Answer:
a. $125000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cost of the ending work in process inventory
Beginning work in process inventory $128000
Add total manufacturing costs $277000
Less cost of goods manufactured $280000
Ending work in process inventory $125000
($128000+$277000-$280000)
Therefore the cost of the ending work in process inventory is $125000

Acme Fastener and Tool is having major problems with demand management. The VP of Sales is very focused on increasing productivity according to forecasts, but the operations manager routinely presents obstacles to increasing production above current levels. Of the following, which problem is the firm experiencing?
a. Functional silos.
b. Lack of attention on operational planning.
c. Overemphasis on forecasting.
d. Focus on tactics.
Answer:
Functional silos
Explanation:
Functional silo occurs when different teams with their responsibilities and functions have different views about a process.
The managers who have accumulated resources and influence are conflicted over the functional aspects of a process rather than looking out for the wider benefit of the business.
In the given scenario VP of Sales is very focused on increasing productivity according to forecasts, but the operations manager routinely presents obstacles to increasing production above current levels.
They are both pursuing conflicting agendas instead of working together.
This is called functional silo.
For a model economy, the mpc (marginal propensity to consume) is 0.8. Current GDP is $100 million. Potential GDP is $60 million. To reach full employment (reduce inflationary gap), government spending must g
Answer:
To reach full employment (reduce inflationary gap), government spending must fall by $8 million.
Explanation:
Multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc) = 1 / (1 - 0.8) = 5
Output gap = Current GDP - Potential GDP = $100 - $60 = $40 million
Amount of change in government expenditure needed = Output gap / mpc = $40 / 5 = $8 million
Since the Potential GDP is less than the Current GDP, this implies that the government spending must fall by $8 million to reach full employment.
Therefore, to reach full employment (reduce inflationary gap), government spending must fall by $8 million.
Suppose the U.S. yield curve is flat at 3% and the euro yield curve is flat at 5%. The current exchange rate is $1.4 per euro. What will be the swap rate on an agreement to exchange currency over a 3-year period
Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question.
answer :
3.02 million, 2.96 million, 2.91 million
Explanation:
Determine the swap rate over a 3-year period
swap rate = forward exchange rate * exchange amount
For year 1
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 ) * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 ) * 2.2
= 3.02 million
For year 2
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^2 * 2..2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^2 * 2.2 million
= 2.96378 million
For year 3
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 2.90733 million
