Lakeview Engine, Inc., produces engines for the watercraft industry. An outside manufacturer has offered to supply several component parts used in the engine assemblies, which are currently being produced by Lakeview. The supplier will charge Lakeview $325 per engine for the set of parts. Lakeview’s current costs for those part sets are direct materials, $145; direct labor, $85; and manufacturing overhead applied at 100% of direct labor. Variable manufacturing overhead is considered to be 20% of the total, and fixed overhead will not change if the part sets are acquired from the outside supplier.
What would be the net cost advantage or disadvantage if Lakeview decided to purchase the parts?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Lakeview Engine, Inc.

The net cost disadvantage if Lakeview decided to purchase the parts from the supplier per part is:

= $78

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Price by outside supplier per engine = $325

Current costs of manufacturing the engine:

Direct materials per unit = $145

Direct labor per unit = $85

Variable manufacturing overhead (20%) = $17

Fixed manufacturing overhead (80%) = $68

Total variable manufacturing cost per unit = $247

Incremental Analysis:

                                                             Make           Buy      Incremental

Production costs:

Variable manufacturing costs per unit:

Direct materials per unit                      $145

Direct labor per unit                              $85

Variable manufacturing per unit           $17

Total variable manufacturing costs   $247         $325        $78

b) Therefore, it costs more to Lakeview to buy the part from the outside supplier than it does when it makes it internally.  Lakeview should continue making the parts.

Rocky Guide Service provides guided 1–5 day hiking tours throughout the Rocky Mountains. Wilderness Tours hires Rocky to lead various tours that Wilderness sells. Rocky receives $1,600 per tour day, and shortly after the end of each month Rocky learns whether it will receive a $160 bonus per tour day it guided during the previous month if its service during that month received an average evaluation of "excellent" by Wilderness customers. The $1,600 per day and any bonus due are paid in one lump payment shortly after the end of each month.

On July 1, based on prior experience, Rocky estimated there is a 40% chance it will earn the bonus for July tours. It guided a total of 10 days from July 1–July 15.
On July 16, based on Rocky’s view that it had provided excellent service during the first part of the month, Rocky revised its estimate to an 90% chance it would earn the bonus for July tours. Rocky also guided customers for 15 days from July 16–July 31.
On August 5 Rocky learned it did not receive an average evaluation of "excellent" for its July tours, so it would not receive any bonus for July, and received all payment due for the July tours.

Giannitti Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. Data for the upcoming year appear below:
Estimated machine-hours 72,900
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.50 per machine-hour
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead 838,710
The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:________.
A. $6.66 per machine-hour
B. $10.50 per machine-hour
C. $8.69 per machine-hour
D. $15.00 per machine-hour

Answers

Answer:

D. $15.00 per machine hour

Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year is seen below;

First, we will calculate the fixed overhead rate.

Fixed overhead rate = Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead / Estimated machine - hours

Fixed overhead rate = $838,710 / 72,900

Fixed overhead rate = $11.50

Then,

Predetermined overhead rate = Fixed overhead rate + Variable overhead rate

Predetermined overhead rate = $11.50 + $3.50

Predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to $15.00 per machine hour

_____________ b. Fund amount is being increased.
_______________ c. Fund is being eliminated.
_______________ d. Fund is being established.

Answers

Answer:

(a) Debit Petty cash account for $150; and Credit Bank for $150.

(b) Debit Petty cash account for $122; and Credit Bank for $122.

The correct options are:

a. Fund amount is being reduced.

c. Fund is being eliminated.

Explanation:

(a) Prepare journal entries to record establishment of the fund.

The journal entry will look as follows:

Details                                      Debit ($)          Credit ($)  

Petty cash account                     150

Bank                                                                        150

(To record petty cash fund establishment.)                    

(b) Prepare journal entries to record reimbursement of the fund at the end of the current period.

Since the fund contained $28 at the end of the current period, we have:

Amount to reimburse = entertainment + postage + printing = $70 + $30 + $22 = $122

The journal entry will now look as follows:

Details                                      Debit ($)          Credit ($)  

Petty cash account                      122

Bank                                                                      122

(To record petty cash fund reimbursement.)                      

c. Identify the two events from the following that cause a Petty Cash account to be credited in a journal entry.

The correct options are:

a. Fund amount is being reduced.

c. Fund is being eliminated.

This is because they both in indicate outflows from the petty cash fund.

February 3,160 370

March 3,760 520

April 4,660 670

June 5,260 720

To calculate the variable and fixed costs, we need to use the following formulas:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (5,260 - 2,860) / (720 - 320)

Variable cost per unit= $6

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 5,260 - (6*720)

Fixed costs= $940

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 2,860 - (6*320)

Fixed costs= $940

Blart Corp. recently paid a dividend of $5.00 per share. Analysts forecast future dividends will increase by 2% forever. The required rate of return that investors demand to hold Blart Corp.'s stock is 8% What is its estimated price per share today

Answers

Answer: $85.0

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the estimated price per share today will be:

Po = Do (1 + g) / (r - g)

Where,

Po = Current price

Do = Current dividend = 5.00

g = Dividend growth = 2% = 0.02

r = Required rate of return = 8% = 0.08

Therefore, the estimated price per share today will be:

= 5.00(1 + 0.02) / (0.08 - 0.02)

= 5.00(1.02) / 0.06

= 5.10 / 0.06

= 85.00

Therefore, the answer is $85

Answers

Answer:

Increased

2.907%

decreased

decrease

increase

0.64

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

Abe's elasticity of demand is elastic because it has a value greater than 1.

if quantity demanded decreases, it means that price must have been increased.  this would lead to a decrease in total revenue

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

On December 31, there were 53 units remaining in ending inventory. These 53 units consisted of 9 from January, 10 from February, 14 from May, 8 from September, and 12 from November. Using the specific identification method, what is the cost of the ending inventory

Answers

Answer:

Cost of the ending inventory = $7,108

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

A company had the following purchases during the current year:

January        17 Units at $112

February       37 Units at $123

May               32 Units at $135

September   29 Units at $143

November    27 Units at $153

On December 31, there were 53 units remaining in ending inventory. These 53 units consisted of 9 from January, 10 from February, 14 from May, 8 from September, and 12 from November. Using the specific identification method, what is the cost of the ending inventory?

Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Specific identification method is an inventory method under which costs of goods sold and the closing/ending inventory are calculated using the particular cost of each inventory batch at the moment they were received.

Therefore, cost of the ending inventory is calculated as sum of the product of the number of closing units from each month and the cost per unit of purchases in that month.

Therefore, we have:

Cost of the ending inventory = (Number of closing units from January * Cost per unit of January Purchases) + (Number of closing units from February * Cost per unit of February Purchases) + (Number of closing units from May * Cost per unit of May Purchases) + (Number of closing units from September * Cost per unit of September Purchases) + (Number of closing units from November * Cost per unit of November Purchases) ………… (1)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Cost of the ending inventory = (9 * $112) + (10 * $123) + (14 * $135) + (8 * $143) + (12 * $153) = $7,108

According to the authors, price controls on water, designed to ensure that lower income people can afford water, have resulted in

Answers

Answer: a. a reduced supply of usable water

Explanation:

I am unsure as to the text being referred to but this should be the correct answer.

The market allocates resources efficiently based on price. This means that it sets the price such that people who can afford the goods are able to buy them. This ensures that not everybody gets the good and the good can be sustainably used.

If the government imposes price controls on a good as they did here. The market would be unable to efficiently allocate the water so more people than before would be able to access it. This would lead to the supply being used up so there will be a reduced supply of the good which in this case is water.

Kenner Company is considering two projects. Project A Project B Initial investment $85,000 $24,000 Annual cash flows $20,676 $ 6,011 Life of the project 6 years 5 years Depreciation per year $14,167 $ 4,800 Suppose that Kenner Company requires a minimum rate of return of 8%. Which project is better in terms of net present value

Answers

Answer: Project A is better as it has a higher NPV of $76,075.70

Explanation:

Annual cashflow of Project A = Annual cashflow + Depreciation

= 20,676 + 14,167

= $34,843

Project B cashflow = 6,011 + 4,800

= $10,811

As these are constant amounts, they are to be considered annuities.

Find the present value of these annuities and deduct the initial investment from them for the NPV.

Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8%, number of years

Project A NPV = (34,843 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8%, 6 periods)  - 85,000

= (34,843 * 4.6229) - 85,000

= $76,075.70

Project B NPV = (10,811 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8%, 5 periods)  - 24,000

= (10,811 * 3.9927) - 24,000

= $19,165.08

Project A is better as it has a higher NPV of $76,05.70
