Answer:
Weighted Average : Materials = 1,100 units, Conversion Costs = 920 units
FIFO : Materials = 1,100 units, Conversion Costs = 1,260 units
Explanation:
Weighted Average
Materials
Ending Work In Process (300 ×100 %) = 300 units
Completed and Transferred (800 ×100 %) = 800 units
Equivalent units in respect to materials = 1,100 units
Conversion Costs
Ending Work In Process (300 ×40 %) = 120 units
Completed and Transferred (800 ×100 %) = 800 units
Equivalent units in respect to conversion costs = 920 units
FIFO
Materials
To finish Opening Work in Process (200 × 0%) = 0 units
Started and Completed (800 × 100%) = 800 units
Ending Work in Process (300 × 100%) = 300 units
Equivalent units in respect to materials =1,100 units
Conversion Costs
To finish Opening Work in Process (200 × 80%) = 160 units
Started and Completed (800 × 100%) = 800 units
Ending Work in Process (300 × 40%) = 300 units
Equivalent units in respect to materials =1,260 units
A firm has provided you with the following information:
Output 30
Variable Cost $1,900
Fixed Cost $120
Marginal Cost $50
Price $50
a. What is the firm's short-run profit if they produce using the MC=MR rule?
b. What is the firm's short-run profit if they produce nothing?
c. What will be the firm's production decision in the short-run?
1. Shutdown
2. Exit
3. Operate
Answer:
(a) Output produced = 30 , Price = $50
Total revenue = Output produced * Price = 30 units * $50 = $1,500
Total Cost= Variable cost + Fixed cost = $1900 + 120 = $2020
At profit maximization or loss minimization point, MR = MC.
Corresponding to an output level of 30, MR=MC =$50
Note: Price is constant at $50. So, the marginal revenue will be $50 at each level of output
Profit = Total revenue - Total Cost.
Profit = $1500 - $2020
Profit = -$520.
The firm's short-run profit is -$520 if they produce using MR=MC.
(b) If a firm produces nothing, then a firm has to bear a fixed cost of $120. It means there is a loss of $120 or a profit of -$120. So, short-run profit is -$120 if they produce nothing.
(c) In the short run, if the firm produces then bear a loss of $520. if a firm produces nothing then bear a loss of $120. So, it is better to shut down the production in the short run in order to minimize the loss of the firm.

Explanation:
13.) An investor is in a 30% combined federal plus state tax bracket. If corporate bonds offer 6% yields, what yield must municipals offer for the investor to prefer them to corporate bonds
Answer:
the yield that must offer for the investor in order to prefer them is 4.2%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The after tax yield is
= Corporate bond yield × (1 - tax rate)
= 6% × (1 - 0.30)
= 6% × 0.70
= 4.2%

During 2018, Raines Umbrella Corp. had sales of $810,000. Cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses, and depreciation expenses were $580,000, $90,000, and $135,000, respectively. In addition, the company had an interest expense of $91,000 and a tax rate of 21 percent. (Ignore any tax loss carryforward provisions and assume interest expense is fully deductible.) Suppose the company paid out $55,000 in cash dividends. If net capital spending and net working capital was zero, and if no new stock was issued during the year, what is the net new long-term debt
Answer:
$6,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net new long term debt is as follows:
But before that following calculations to be done:
Sales $810,000
Less: COGS ($580,000)
Less: S&A Expenses ($90,000)
Less: Depreciation ($135,000)
EBIT $5,000
Less: Interest ($91,000)
Taxable Income ($86,000)
Less: Taxes(21%) $0
Net Income(loss) ($86,000)
Now
OCF = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
= $5,000 + $135,000 - $0
= $140,000
Change in NWC = Net capital spending = Net new equity = 0
Cash flow from assets = OCF - Change in NWC - Net capital spending
= $140,000 - $0 - $0
= $140,000
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends - Net New Equity
= $55,000 - $0
= $55,000
Cash flow to creditors = Cash flow from assets - Cash flow to stockholders
= $140,000 - $55,000
= $85,000
Cash flow to creditors = Interest - Net new LTD
$85,000 = $91,000 - Net new LTD
So,
Net new LTD is
= $91,000 - $85,000
= $6,000

Smith had no stock transactions in 2016; thus, the change in stockholders' equity for 2016 was due to net income and dividends. If dividends were $70,000, how much was Smith's net income for 2016? Use the accounting equation and the statement of retained earnings.
a. $220,000
b. $290,000
c. $150,000
d. $360,000
Answer: b. $290,000
Explanation:
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Change in Assets = Change in liabilities + Change in Equity
560,000 - 330,000 = 35,000 - 25,000 + Change in equity
230,000 = 10,000 + Change in equity
Change in Equity = 230,000 - 10,000
= $220,000
Retained earnings = Change in equity + dividends
= 220,000 + 70,000
= $290,000

Hoi Chong Transport, Ltd., operates a fleet of delivery trucks in Singapore. The company has determined that if a truck is driven 105,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost is 11.4 cents per kilometer. If a truck is driven only 70,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost increases to 13.4 cents per kilometer.(The Singapore dollar is the currency used in Singapore.)
Requirement 1:
Using the high-low method, estimate the variable and fixed cost elements of the annual cost of the truck operation. (Round the variable cost per kilometer to 3 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Variable cost per kilometer $
Fixed cost per year $
Requirement 2:
Express the variable and fixed costs in the form Y = a + bX. (Round the variable cost per kilometer to 3 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Y = $ + $ X
Requirement 3:
If a truck were driven 80,000 kilometers during a year, what total cost would you expect to be incurred? (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Total annual cost $
Work done so far:
HIGH :11.4 * 105,000 = 1,197,000
LOW: 13.4 * 70,000 = 938,000
Total Variable cost = 105,000 * 7.4 = 777,000
Fixed cost = 1,197,000 - 777,000 = 420,000
Answer:
1. $0.074 km
2. Total cost = $4,200 + 0.074x
3. $10,120
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour using high and low method is seen below
Variable cost per hour = (High operating cost - Low operating cost) ÷ (High driven in kilometers - Low driven in kilometers),
Where,
High operating cost = 105,000 km × 11.4%
= $11,970
Low operating cost = 70,000 km × 13.4%
= $9,380
Hence,
= ($11,970 - $9,380) ÷ (105,000 km - 70,000 km)
= $2,590 ÷ 35,000 km
= $0.074 per km
Now, the fixed cost equal to
= High operating cost - (High driven in kilometers × Variable cost per km)
= $11,970 - (105,000 km × $0.074 )
= $11,970 - $7,770
= $4,200
2. The equation is as seen below;
Y = a + bx
Therefore,
Total cost = $4,200 + 0.074x
3. Y = a + bx
= $4,200 + 0.074 × 80,000
= $4,200 + $5,920
= $10,120

a. $17,397 U
b. $16,817 U
c. $312 F
d. $17,085 U
Answer:
b. $16,817 U
Explanation:
Calculation for What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month
Using this formula
Variable overhead Efficiency Variance= Standard Rate(Actual Hours - Budgeted Hours)
Let plug in the formula
Variable overhead Efficiency Variance= $12.55 per hour[2,900 hours-(7.8 hours*200 units)]

As you learned more and more about the complexity of the HRM role, what do you view as the most challenging aspect of HRM in the international context? How do you view the impact of expatriates on your role in HRM?
Answer:
The interpretation including its question would be characterized in the explanatory segment elsewhere here.
Explanation:
(a)
The cultural divide is perhaps the most compelling as that of the complexities of corporation dramatically change in something like a foreign environment. Besides example, a thumbs-up gesture, which would be a complimentary sign throughout the West as well as the US, seems to have a different meaning in several other cultural groups and therefore is construed as bad-mannered throughout Asian countries like Thailand, whereby the significance has been less than that of trying to stick someone's hard to both the West.(b)
The negative effect of ex-pats mostly on the position of HRM would be that individuals start making the importance of HRM so much enlightening. The HR seems to be essential for safeguarding expatriates and then for the HR to safeguard foreign nationals, this should understand the ways of foreign residents such that the HR could even start educating other staff mostly on cultural values of migrants.Give an example of one good or service produced in the United States using the command model. Justify your example using research (where did you find this).
Answer:
An example of production under the command system in the United States is that of the production of roads and passable roads throughout the nation. In this case, it is the production of a public service, and as such it is controlled by the government in all stages of its production: from the identification of the need, through the tender, the construction authorization and the supervision of the results, everything is controlled by the government. This implies that individuals or private companies cannot by their own initiative create this type of road, but rather depend exclusively on the will of the government.

If Investment A has an effective annual rate (EAR) that is greater than Investment B's EAR, it is possible for Investment A's annual percentage rate (APR) to be less than Investment B's APR.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
It is indeed possible for Investment A's annual percentage rate (APR) to be less than Investment B's APR but the only way that Investment A can have a higher EAR is if it has more compounding periods in the years.
For instance, assume Investment A has an APR of 25% to be compounded daily and Investment B has an APR of 26% to be compounded semi-annually, their EARs would be:
EAR A = (1 + 25%/365)³⁶⁵ - 1
= 28.4%
EAR B = (1 + 26%/2)² - 1
= 27.7%
Proving that APR can be less but EAR will be more.
There are four resources and four jobs to be done. Assume there must be one-to-one matching between jobs and resources. The time required for each resource to do each job is as follows:
Job (Hours)
Resource A B C D
1 5 8 7 7
2 4 9 5 9
3 6 9 8 7
4 7 6 6 9
What is the optimal assignment of resources to jobs?
Multiple Choice
1 to A; 2 to C; 3 to B; 4 to D
1 to B; 2 to D; 3 to C; 4 to A
1 to C; 2 to B; 3 to A; 4 to D
1 to D; 2 to B; 3 to C; 4 to A
1 to A; 2 to C; 3 to D; 4 to B
Answer:
1 → A ; 2 → C ; 3 → D ; 4 → B
Explanation:
From the given information, the table can be better structured as follows:
Job (Hours)
Resource A B C D
1 5 8 7 7
2 4 9 5 9
3 6 9 8 7
4 7 6 6 9
From the table, the allocation of resources is based on the minimum number of jobs i.e. time(hours) required to do all four tasks appropriately.
These are 1 → A ; 2 → C ; 3 → D ; 4 → B
Then, the time taken by this process is = (5 + 5 + 7 + 6)
= 23 hours
