ABC Company's production budget for October is based on 500 units. Standard unit cost for raw materials is $130 per unit ($10 per pound x 13 pounds per unit).
ABC's actual production in October= = 525 units.
The actual cost of materials used = $69,300 ($11 per pound x 12 pounds per unit).
Required:
a. Calculate the raw materials price variance for October. Is it favorable or unfavorable?
b. Calculate the raw materials usage variance for October. Is it favorable or unfavorable?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. Raw material price variance is
= (standard price - actual price) × actual quantity
= ($10 - $11) × ($69,300 ÷ $11)
= ($10 - $11) × 6,300
= $6,300 unfavorable
b. The raw material usage variance is
= (Standard quantity - actual quantity) × standard price
= (525 × 13 - 6,300) × $10
= $5,250 favorable
In this way it should be calculated

The following statements describe why profits for firms in a perfectly competitive industry tend to vanish in the long run. Select the explanation that most accurately reflects this scenario?
A) Firms try to increase supply to cover their costs if they experience losses, and this leads to zero profits.
B) Firms are unable to generate revenue over time because the demand for products drops.
C) When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market prices drop.
D) When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market, prices rise.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market the prices drop.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the microeconomics theory the perfect competitive market is characterized by the fact that there a lot of companies that sell an homogenous product and that are price takers of the market itself. So therefore that the only big difference in the firms are the costs and the prices that they have. Moreover, in the long run the firms are obtaining great profits so that leads to the enter of another more companies to the market and the supply rises the prices will have to go low so that will implicate as well a decrease in the prices of every company that now works in that industry.

Anyina Corporation has an actual profit of $80,000. The break-even point is $500,000 and the variable expenses are 60% of sales. Given this information, the margin of safety, based on actual sales, is:
Answer:
Margin of safety = $200,000
Explanation:
Given:
Actual profit = $80,000
Break-even point = $500,000
Variable expenses = 60% of sales
Find:
Margin of safety
Computation:
Assume sales = a
So,
Variable expenses = 0.6a
Pv ratio = [(Sales - Variable expenses) / Sales]100
Pv ratio = [(a - 0.6a)/a]100
Pv ratio = 40%
Margin of safety = Profit / Pv ratio
Margin of safety = 80,000 / 40%
Margin of safety = $200,000

Assume that an investor purchased a put option on BP with an exercise price of $1.900 for $0.0215 per unit. There are 31,250 units in a GBP options contract. At the time of the option expiration date, the spot price for GBP was $1.885. What was the net profit/loss on this option to the investor?
a. $203.125
b. $671.8750
c. $468.75
d. $1,140.625
Answer:
a. $203.125
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the net profit/loss on this option to the investor
Net profit/loss=((1.900 - 1.885) - 0.0215)(31,250)
Net profit/loss=(0.015-0.0215)*31,250
Net profit/loss=0.0065*31,250
Net profit/loss=$203.125
Therefore the net profit/loss on this option to the investor will be $203.125
Mannisto Inc. uses the FIFO inventory cost flow assumption. In a year of rising costs and prices, the firm reported net income of $219,017 and average assets of $1,413,720. If Mannisto had used the LIFO cost flow assumption in the same year, its cost of goods sold would have been $36,220 more than under FIFO, and its average assets would have been $31,640 less than under FIFO.
Required:
Calculate the firm's ROI under each cost flow assumption (FIFO and LIFO).
Answer:
a) Under the FIFO method:-
ROI = 15.49%.
Under LIFO method:-
ROI = 13.2%
Explanation:
ROI = Net Income * 100 / Avverage assets.
a) Under the FIFO method
[tex]ROI= \frac{219017*100}{1413720} \\ROI = 15.49[/tex]
ROI = 15.49%.
Under LIFO method
[tex]ROI= \frac{182797*100}{1382080} \\ROI=13.2%[/tex]
ROI = 13.2%
Net income Under LIFO= Net income under FIFO-Increased cost of goods sold
= $219017-$36,220= $182797.
Average assets under LIFO= Average assets under FIFO-Average assets that are less under LIFO
= $1413720 - $31,640= $1382080.
Rolling Coast Inc. issued BBB bonds two years ago. These bonds provided a yield to maturity (YTM) of 11.5 percent. Long-term risk-free government bonds were yielding 8.7 percent at the time. The current risk premium on BBB bonds versus government bonds is half of what it was two years ago. If the risk-free long-term government bonds are currently yielding 7.8 percent, then at what interest rate should Rolling Coast expect to issue new bonds
Answer: 9.2%
Explanation:
The interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be calculated thus:
Firstly, we will calculate the previous risk premium on BBB bonds which will be:
= 11.5% - 8.7% = 2.8%
Then, the new risk premium on BBB bonds will be:
= Previous risk premium / 2
= 2.8% / 2
= 1.4%
Then, the interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be:
= 7.8% + 1.4%
= 9.2%

Holt Enterprises recently paid a dividend, D0, of $3.50. It expects to have nonconstant growth of 19% for 2 years followed by a constant rate of 10% thereafter. The firm's required return is 13%. How far away is the horizon date? The terminal, or horizon, date is Year 0 since the value of a common stock is the present value of all future expected dividends at time zero. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes nonconstant. This occurs at time zero. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the beginning of Year 2. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2. The terminal, or horizon, date is infinity since common stocks do not have a maturity date.
Answer:
Holt Enterprises
The terminal, or horizon, date is:
the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2.
Explanation:
a) Recent dividend, DO = $3.50
Expected non-constant growth = 19%
Period of non-constant growth = 2 years
Expected constant rate of growth = 10% after 2 years of non-constant growth
The firm's required return rate = 13%
b) The terminal or horizon date is, therefore, from the end of year 2 or beginning of year 3, when constant growth sets in with the Holt stock.
At the horizon date the dividend, D3, must have grown to $5.42 approx.
Then, the horizon value is given by the formula = D3 / required rate - growth rate
= 5.42 / 0.13 - 0.01
= 5.42 / 0.03
= $181
Debt levels across industries vary widely. Debt ratios in most countries are considerably less than 100 percent. Some firms use no debt. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries. Most corporations have relatively low debt-asset ratios.
Complete Question:
Which one of the following is not empirically correct?
A. Debt levels across industries vary widely
B. Debt ratios in most countries are considerably less than 100 percent.
C. Some firms use no debt.
D. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries.
E. Most corporations have relatively low debt-asset ratios.
Answer:
The not empirically correct statement is:
D. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries.
Explanation:
Instead, the capital structures across industries vary significantly. Firms with large asset investments tend to have more leverage than others with less asset investments. And this situation of having or not having large investments in assets cuts across firms in the same industry. This suggests that their capital structures will always vary not because of the industry but the choices made by the firm's management. Capital structures are also influenced by taxes and operating income uncertainties, which also vary within the same industry.

Installing an automated production system costing $300,000 is initially expected to save Zia Corporation $52,000 in expenses annually. If the system needs $7,500 in operating and maintenance costs each year and has a salvage value of $30,000 at year 10, what is the IRR of this system
Answer:
8.87%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-300,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 9 = $52,000 - $7,500 = $44500
Cash flow in year 10 = $44500 + $30,000 = $74500
IRR = 8.87%
To determine the value of IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
