Answer:
1. 2,300 units
2. $36,800
3. $39,200
Explanation:
The computation of company’s break-even point in unit sales is shown below:-
Break Even Point (Unit Sales) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Per Unit
= Fixed Cost ÷ (Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Expense Per Unit)
= $9,200 ÷ ($16 - $12)
= $9,200 ÷ $4
= 2,300 units
2. The computation of break-even point in dollar sales is shown below:-
Break Even Point (Dollar Sales) = Break Even Units × Selling Price Per Unit
= $2,300 × $16
= $36,800
Contribution Margin Ratio = (Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Expense Per Unit ) ÷ Sales Per Unit × 100)
= ($16 - $12) ÷ $16 × 100
= $4 ÷ $16 × 100
= 25%
Break Even Sales = Fixed Expenses ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
= $9,200 ÷ 25%
= $36,800
3. The computation of new break-even point in unit sales is shown below:-
Break Even Point (Unit Sales) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Per Unit
= Fixed Cost ÷ (Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Expense Per Unit)
= ($9,200 + $600) ÷ ($16 - $12)
= $9,800 ÷ $4
= 2,450 units
Break Even Point (Dollar Sales) = Break Even Units × Selling Price Per Unit
= 2,450 units × $16
= $39,200
Abel, a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), conducted an interview of Baker, the controller of the ABC Company. Abel asked the following question: "Since you were here when the controls were developed, can you tell me how they came about?" This kind of question is called a ____________________.
Answer: informational question
Explanation:
The kind of question Abel asked baker is known as an informational question.
Informational questions are usually used by interviewers during an interview to get first hand informations from the individual being interviewed. This kind of information can be classified as a primary source as they are gotten directly from the person who has had the experience or involvement. Just like in the case of Baker he was asked the question because it’s believed he witnessed the development of the controls.
The average starting salary for this year's graduates at a large university (LU) is $20,000 with
a standard deviation of $8,000. Furthermore, it is known that the starting salaries are normally
distributed.
a. What is the probability that a randomly selected LU graduate will have a starting salary
of at least $30,400? (3 marks)
b. What is the probability that a randomly selected LU graduate will have a salary of
exactly $30,400? (2 marks)
c. Individuals with starting salaries of less than $15600 receive a low income tax break.
What percentage of the graduates will receive the tax break? (2 marks)
d. If 189 of the recent graduates have salaries of at least $32240, how many students
graduated this year from this university? (3 marks)
Answer:
a) The probability that a randomly selected LU graduate will have a starting salary of at least $30,400 = P(x ≥ 30400) = 0.0968
b) The probability that a randomly selected LU graduate will have a salary of exactly $30,400 = 0.000021421
c) Percentage of students that will receive a tax break = 29.12%
d) Total Number of graduates this year = 3,000
Explanation:
This is a normal distribution problem with
Mean = μ = $20,000
Standard deviation = σ = $8,000
a) The probability that a randomly selected LU graduate will have a starting salary of at least $30,400 = P(x ≥ 30400)
We first normalize or standardize $30,400
The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.
z = (x - μ)/σ = (30400 - 20000)/8000 = 1.30
The required probability
P(x ≥ 30400) = P(z ≥ 1.30)
We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities
P(x ≥ 30400) = P(z ≥ 1.30) = 1 - P(z < 1.30)
= 1 - 0.90320
= 0.0968
b) The probability that a randomly selected LU graduate will have a salary of exactly $30,400
Here, we will use the normal distribution formula. The normal distribution formula is presented in the attached image
P(X = x) = f(x) = [1 ÷ σ√(2π)] × e^(-0.5z²)
x = $30,400
σ = $8,000
z = 1.30
P(X = 30400) = f(30400) = 0.000021421
c) Individuals with starting salaries of less than $15600 receive a low income tax break.
What percentage of the graduates will receive the tax break?
Required probability = P(x < 15600)
We first normalize or standardize $15,600
z = (x - μ)/σ = (15600 - 20000)/8000 = -0.55
The required probability
P(x < 15600) = P(z < -0.55)
We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities
P(x < 15600) = P(z < -0.55)
= 0.29116 = 29.116% = 29.12%
d) If 189 of the recent graduates have salaries of at least $32240, how many students
graduated this year from this university?
We first find the percentage of LU graduates with salaries more than $32240
Required probability = P(x ≥ 32240)
We first normalize or standardize $32,240
z = (x - μ)/σ = (32240 - 20000)/8000 = 1.53
The required probability
P(x ≥ 32240) = P(z ≥ 1.53)
We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities
P(x ≥ 32240) = P(z ≥ 1.53) = 1 - P(z < 1.53)
= 1 - 0.93699
= 0.06301 = 6.301%
So, 6.301% of the graduates this year = 189
Total Number of graduates this year = (189/0.06301) = 2999.5 = 3000 graduates this year.
Hope this Helps!!!
Brownley Company has two service departments and two operating (production) departments. The Payroll Department services all three of the other departments in proportion to the number of employees in each. The Maintenance Department costs are allocated to the two operating departments in proportion to the floor space used by each. Listed below are the operating data for the current period: Service Depts. Production Depts. Payroll Maintenance Cutting Assembly Direct costs $ 20,400 $ 25,500 $ 76,500 $ 105,400 No. of personnel 15 15 45 Sq. ft. of space 10,000 15,000 The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is:
Answer:
The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580
Explanation:
In order to calculate The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to calculate first the Overhead allocated to Maintenance from Payroll department as follows:
Overhead allocated=Payroll overhead×(Maintenance payroll personnel/Total personnel)
Overhead allocated=$ 20,400×(15/15+15+45)
Overhead allocated=$4,080
Therefore, to calculate the The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to use the following formula:
Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=Overhead allocated+Direct overhead incurred
Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$4,080+$25,500
Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$29,580
The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580

Both employees and employers must pay equal amounts of FICA taxes (social security and medicare), but only employees pay unemployment taxes.
Davis Hardware Company uses a perpetual inventory system. How should Davis record the sale of inventory costing $620 for $960 on account?A. Inventory 620Cost of Goods Sold 620Sales Revenue 960Accounts Receivable 960B. Accounts Receivable 960Sales Revenue 960Cost of Goods Sold 620Inventory 620C. Inventory 620Gain 340Sales Revenue 960D. Accounts Receivable 960Sales Revenues 620Gain 340
Answer:
B. Accounts Receivable 960
Sales Revenue 960
Cost of Goods Sold 620
Inventory 620
Explanation:
Under perpetual inventory system the sale is recorded separately by sale value and the cost of the sold inventory is deducted from the inventory and added in the cost of goods sold.
Ne benefit of $340 (960-620) is automatically recorded and it will be measure at end of the period by formatting the income statement. It does not need to be recorded separately.
Valley Designs issued a 120-day, 6% note for $80,000 dated April 20 to Bork Furniture Company on account. Required: A. Determine the due date of the note. B. Determine the maturity value of the note. Assume a 360-day year. C. Journalize the entries to record the following: (1) receipt of the note by Bork Furniture and (2) receipt of payment of the note at maturity. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The due date of the note is
Take 120 days from April 20 i.e
10 days of April + 31 days in May + 30 days in June + 31 days in July + 18 days in August
So, the due date is August 18
b. Now the maturity value of the note is
= Principal value of the note + interest
= $80,000 + $80,000 × 6% × 120 days ÷ 360 days
= $80,000 + $1,600
= $81,600
c-1 Now the journal entry is
Note receivable $80,000
To Account receivable $80,000
(Being the receipt of the note is recorded)
For recording this we debited the note receivable as it increase the assets and credited the account receivable as it decreased the assets
c-2 Cash Dr $81,600
To Note receivable $80,000
To Interest revenue $1,600
(Being the receipt of the payment of the note is recorded)\
For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and credited the note receivable as it decreased the assets and increased the revenue so the interest revenue is credited
Mills Corporation's balance sheet included the following information: Accounts Receivable $ 580,000 Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 73,000 Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance $ 507,000 If the Allowance account had a credit balance of $31,500 immediately before the year-end adjustment for bad debts and no accounts were written-off or allowed for during the year, what was the amount of Bad Debt Expense recognized during the year
Answer:
The amount of Bad Debt Expense recognized during the year is $41,500.
Explanation:
Bad debt expense is an estimate of the accounts receivable that is deemed uncollectible. At times, it is determined by percentage of credit method or aging method.
If the allowance account had an opening balance of $31,500 before adjustment and there was no rite-off during the period, with a closing balance of $73,000, the bad debt expense is simply the difference between the closing balance and the opening balance, that is , $73,000 - $31,500 = $41,500.

Blue Space Corporation launches exploratory space flights to the moon and Mars. The purpose is to discover and retrieve minerals and other resources. Under U.S. Law, Blue Space a. must share with all interested parties what it retrieves in space. b. cannot profit from resources retrieved in space. c. cannot legally retrieve resources in space. d. owns what it retrieves in space.
Answer:
D. Owns what it retrieves in space.
Explanation:
This explains the right of an american that entails that anybody that retrieves minerals or other useful resources own or has control over what it retrieves in space.
Americans however should have the right to engage in commercial exploration, recovery, and use of resources in outer space, consistent with applicable law. Outer space is a legally and physically unique domain of human activity, and the United States does not view it as a global commons. Accordingly, it shall be the policy of the United States to encourage international support for the public and private recovery and use of resources in outer space, consistent with applicable law.
In its most recent financial statements, Del-Castillo Inc. reported $70 million of net income and $960 million of retained earnings. The previous retained earnings were $943 million. How much in dividends did the firm pay to shareholders during the year? Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1,200,000.
Answer:
$53,000,000
Explanation:
The amount of dividends paid by Del-Castillo Inc. can be ascertained using the retained earnings formula as follows:
retained earnings=net income+previous year retained earnings-dividends paid
retained earnings for current year is $960 million
net income is $70 million
previous year retained earnings were $943 million
dividends paid is unknown
dividends=net income+previous year retained earnings-current year retained earnings
dividends=$70 million+$943 million-$960 million
dividends=$53 million
Selected data from the Florida Fruit Company are presented below: Total assets $1,500,000 Average total assets 1,850,000 Net income 175,000 Net sales 1,300,000 Average common stockholders' equity 1,000,000 Net cash provided by operating activities 275,000 Assume that no dividends were declared or paid during the period. Collapse question part (a) Calculate the profit margin. (Round answer to 1 decimal place, e.g. 15.2%.) Profit margin Enter percentages rounded to 1 decimal place %
Answer:
13.5%
Explanation:
Relevant data provided for computing the profit margin which is here below:-
Net Income = $175,000
Net Sales = $1,300,000
The computation of profit margin is shown below:-
Profit Margin = (Net Income ÷ Net Sales) × 100
= ($175,000 ÷ $1,300,000) × 100
= 13.5%
Therefore for computing the profit margin we simply applied the above formula.
oel purchased 100 shares of stock for $31 per share. During the year, he received dividend checks amounting to $202. Joel recently sold the stock for $58 per share. Joel is in a 35% tax bracket. He would pay $945 in taxes if he held the stock for less than a year. How much would Joel save in taxes if he held the stock for more than a year, assuming he sold it for the same amount?
Answer:
Joel would save tax of $540 if the stock was held for more than a year
Explanation:
If the stock is held for more than one year and then sold then the gain on sale would be long term capital gain
The long term capital gain would be charged at preferential rate of 15%
Calculate long term capital gain tax on sale
Long term capital gain (Sale price - Purchase price)*No of shares
Long term capital gain (58-31)*100
Long term capital gain $2700
Tax on long term capital gain 2700*15%
Tax on long term capital gain $405
Savings in tax 945 - 405
Savings in tax $540
Thus, Joel would save tax of $540 if the stock was held for more than a year
The standard direct labor cost per unit for a company was $24 (= $15 per hour × 1.6 hours per unit). During the period, actual direct labor costs amounted to $145,600, 9,500 labor-hours were worked, and 6,600 units were produced. Required: Compute the direct labor price and efficiency variances for the period. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, or "U" for unfavorable. If there is no effect, do not select either option.)
Answer:
$3,135 unfavorable
$9,937.50 unfavorable
Explanation:
The formula and the computation of the direct labor price and efficiency variance is shown below:
Direct labor price variance
= (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual hours of production
= ($15- $145,600 ÷ 9,500 hours ) × 9,500 labor hour worked
= ($15 - $15.33) × 9,500 labor hour worked
= $3,135 unfavorable
Labor efficiency variance is
= (Actual production - standard production) × standard rate per unit
= (6,600 units - 9,500 hours ÷ 1.6 hours) × $15
= (6,600 units - 5,937.0) × $15
= $9,937.50 unfavorable
Since the actual hours is more than the standard one so it would lead to unfavorable variance

Cully Furniture buys two products for resale: king beds (K) and queen beds (Q). Each king bed costs $500 and requires 100 cubic feet of storage space, and each queen bed costs $250 and requires 80 cubic feet of storage space. The company has $80,000 to invest in shelves this week, and the warehouse has 30,000 cubic feet available for storage. Profit for each king bed is $400 and for each queen bed is $200. 1). (10’) Please set up the LP model for the above situation.2). (20’) How many king beds (K) and how many queen bed (Q) should be purchased at optimal? 3). (10’) Whether we have slack or surplus variable applicable in this question? If we do, what is the value of slack (or/and surplus) variable? What is the meaning behind it?4). (10’) If the furniture company purchases no king beds and 300 queen beds, which resources will be completely used (at capacity)?
Answer:
1) 500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000
100K+80Q≤ 30,000
K≥0
Q≥0
P= 400K + 200Q
2) zero king beds and 320 queen beds
or zero queen beds and 160 king beds
3) surplus variable
surplus variable is storage space
values of surplus variable is 14,000 cubic feet if zero queen beds and 160 king beds
value of surplus variable is 4,400 cubic feet if zero king beds and 320 queen beds.
surplus is the extra amount available after all resources have been utilized to theri maximum.
4) none of the resources will be completely used. There will be surplus of both
Explanation:
1) Implicit variables: K≥0 ; Q ≥ 0
Explicit variables:
500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000-------------------------- from investment constraint
100K+80Q≤ 30,000 ---------------------- from storage space constraint
LP: P= 400K + 200Q
2) See the attachment for profit maximization graph
3) From graph in the attachment, it can be inferred that storage space is the surplus variable since graph of that equation lies completely outside of optimal area.
Also,
if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of investment gives
500(160) + 250(0)= 80,000
if K=0 and Q=320, the inequality of investment gives
500(0)+ 250(320) =80,000
if K=0 and Q = 320, the inequality of space gives
100(0) + 80(320)= 25,600
surplus= 30,000- 25,600= 4,400
if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of space gives
100(160) +250(0)= 16000
surplus= 30000-16000= 14000
4) K=0 and Q=300
investment inequality gives
500(0) + 250(300) ≤ 80,000
75,000≤ 80,000
space inequality gives
100(0) + 80(300) ≤ 30,000
24,000≤ 30,000
Both space and investment are in surplus

Scenario 28-1 Suppose that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the entire adult population of Mankiwland can be categorized as follows: 25 million people employed, 3 million people unemployed, 1 million discouraged workers, and 1 million people who are either students, homemakers, retirees, or other people not seeking employment. Refer to Scenario 28-1. How many people are unemployed
Answer: 3 million.
Explanation:
Unemployment is defined as when a member of a Country's labor force is jobless but actively looking for work.
In the Scenario 28-1, the discouraged people are not counted as they are discouraged and not looking for work and 1 million other people being students and retirees amongst others are not looking for work either.
The unemployed section of Mankiwland is therefore the 3 million unemployed people.

Assume that, on January 1, 2021, Sosa Enterprises paid $2,240,000 for its investment in 30,000 shares of Orioles Co. Further, assume that Orioles has 100,000 total shares of stock issued and estimates an eight-year remaining useful life and straight-line depreciation with no residual value for its depreciable assets.
At January 1, 2021, the book value of Orioles' identifiable net assets was $7,260,000, and the fair value of Orioles was $10,000,000. The difference between Orioles' fair value and the book value of its identifiable net assets is attributable to $1,950,000 of land and the remainder to depreciable assets. Goodwill was not part of this transaction. The following information pertains to Orioles during 2021:
Net Income $ 500,000 Dividends declared and paid $ 300,000 Market price of common stock on 12/31/2021 $ 80 /shareWhat amount would Sosa Enterprises report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet for its investment in Orioles Co.?
Answer:
Amount reported in the year-end 2021 is $2,270,375
Explanation:
[tex]\text{The percentage of investment in Orioles} = \frac{30000 \ shares }{100000 \ shares} = 30 \ percent.[/tex]
The difference between fair value and the book value attributable to depreciable assets = $10,000,000 -$7,260,000 -$1,950,000
=$790,000
Attributable to depreciation assets:
[tex]= \frac{790000}{8 \ years} \times 30 percent \\[/tex]
[tex]= 29625 dollars.[/tex]
Balance sheet for its investment in Orioles:
Particulars Amount
Cash paid to Orioles = $2,240,000
Add: net income (500,000 *30%) = $150,000
Less: Dividends(300,000 *30%) = ($90,000)
Less: Attributable to depreciation. = ($29,625)
Amount reported in the year-end 2021. = $2,270,375
what are some of googles resources
Answer:
lol just reminding yall
my teacher : Wikipedia is not a reliable resource
Explanation:
Exercise 24-5 Payback period computation; even cash flows LO P1 Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $520,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $150,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000. A machine costs $380,000, has a $20,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $60,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the payback period is shown below:
1. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow
where,
Initial investment is $520,000
Net cash flow is = incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense
= $150,000 + $85,000
= $235,000
The depreciation expense is
= ($520,000 - $10,000) ÷ (6 years)
= $85,000
Now the payback period is
= $520,000 ÷ $235,000
= 2.21 years
2. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow
where,
Initial investment is $380,000
Net cash flow is = incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense
= $60,000 + $45,000
= $105,000
The depreciation expense is
= ($380,000 - $20,000) ÷ (8 years)
= $45,000
Now the payback period is
= $380,000 ÷ $105,000
= 3.62 years
Warren Buffet opposes stock splits to lower the share price because he believes:________.
a. lower share price will encourage other companies to try to take over the company from existing shareholders.

c. stock splits encourage long-term investing, which is detrimental to his firm's investment policy.
d. lower share price indicates poor growth prospects..
Answer:. b. lower stock price encourages short term investing, whereas he is looking for long-term investors.
Explanation:
Warren Buffet has stated that he does not want to split Berkshire Hathaway's stock because he believes that it would attract short term investors whereas he is looking for long term investors. He believes that a stock being split makes it susceptible to investors who just want to buy it for the meantime, wait for it to appreciate a bit and then sell. He however prefers Companies with a long term potential so he prefers people investing for the long run.
Supler Corporation produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost is $25, computed as follows: Direct materials $ 8 Direct labor 8 Variable manufacturing overhead 3 Fixed manufacturing overhead 6 Unit product cost $ 25 An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 3,800 of the parts for only $14 each. The company estimates that 50% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier. Assume that direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on these data, the financial advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the parts from the outside supplier would be:
Answer:
financial advantage : $30,400
Explanation:
Analysis of the Make or Buy Decision
Purchase Cost (3,800×$14) (53,200)
Savings :
Fixed manufacturing overhead($6×50%×3,800) 11,400
Direct Labor ($8×3,800) 30,400
Direct materials ($8×3,800) 30,400
Variable manufacturing overhead (3×3,800) 11,400
Financial Advantage 30,400
Therefore, the financial advantage of purchasing the parts from the outside supplier would be $30,400.

Blue Sky Company’s 12/31/15 balance sheet reports assets of $6,000,000 and liabilities of $2,400,000. All of Blue Sky’s assets’ book values approximate their fair value, except for land, which has a fair value that is $360,000 greater than its book value. On 12/31/15, Horace Wimp Corporation paid $6,120,000 to acquire Blue Sky. What amount of goodwill should Horace Wimp record as a result of this purchase?
Answer:
$2,160,000
Explanation:
Goodwill is the amount of excess consideration payment over net asset value of acquiring company. It is the net value of consideration payment and Fair value of net assets.
To calculate goodwill first we need to determine fair value of assets and Liabilities.
Total Fair value of Assets = $6,000,000 + $360,000 = $6,360,000
Liabilities = $2,400,000
Net Asset value = Assets - Liability = $6,360,000 - $2,400,000 = $3,960,000
Goodwill = Consideration - Net Asset Value = $6,120,000 - $3,960,000 = $2,160,000
An acquisition premium is the amount by which the price offered for an existing business exceeds the Select one: a. amount paid as a down payment to be held in escrow until closing. b. difference between the amount that was offered and the amount that is escrowed c. comparable value of similar companies within the same market. d. preacquisition market value of the target company e. fair market value of similar companies in the same geographic locale.
Answer:
d. pre-acquisition market value of the target company.
Explanation:
An acquisition premium is the amount by which the price offered for an existing business exceeds the pre-acquisition market value of the target company.
An acquisition premium gives the difference between the actual amount of money paid in acquiring a target firm and the estimated real value of obtaining the firm before the acquisition.
Acquisition premium are usually recorded on the balance sheet as "goodwill."
Use of the marginal cost of capital
a. None of these options are correct.
b. recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.
c. acknowledges that when retained earnings are used up as a source of equity, the cost of capital rises as new common stock is sold to support more growth and recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.
d. acknowledges that when retained earnings are used up as a source of equity, the cost of capital rises as new common stock is sold to support more growth.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: recognizes that the return from the last dollar of funds generated should be greater than or equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised.
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of ''marginal cost of capital'' refers to the composite rate of return that is required by the shareholders and the debt-holders in order to establish a new investment in the actual company. Moreover, this type of cost relates to the weighted average cost of the last dollar of new capital raised by the company and is has the necessity of being greater than or at least equal to the cost of the last dollar of funds raised due to the fact that only in that way the investors will consider to invest again in a new project for the company.
