National Bank has several departments that occupy both floors of a two-story building. The departmental accounting system has a single account, Building Occupancy Cost, in its ledger. The types and amounts of occupancy costs recorded in this account for the current period follow.

Depreciation—Building $31,500
Interest—Building mortgage 47,250
Taxes—Building and land 14,000
Gas (heating) expense 4,375
Lighting expense 5,250
Maintenance expense 9,625
Total occupancy cost $112,000

The building has 7,000 square feet on each floor. In prior periods, the accounting manager merely divided the $112,000 occupancy cost by 14,000 square feet to find an average cost of $8 per square foot and then charged each department a building occupancy cost equal to this rate times the number of square feet that it occupied. Diane Linder manages a first-floor department that occupies 900 square feet, and Juan Chiro manages a second-floor department that occupies 1,800 square feet of floor space. In discussing the departmental reports, the second-floor manager questions whether using the same rate per square foot for all departments makes sense because the first-floor space is more valuable. This manager also references a recent real estate study of average local rental costs for similar space that shows first-floor space worth $40 per square foot and second-floor space worth $10 per square foot (excluding costs for heating, lighting, and maintenance).

Required
a. Allocate all occupancy costs to the Linder and Chiro departments using the current allocation method.
b. Allocate the depreciation, interest, and taxes occupancy costs to the Linder and Chiro departments in proportion to the relative market values of the floor space. Allocate the heating, lighting, and maintenance costs to the Linder and Chiro departments in proportion to the square feet occupied (ignoring floor space market values). Analysis Component
c. Which allocation method would you prefer if you were a manager of a second-floor department? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

National Bank

a. Allocation of Occupancy costs to Linder and Chiro Departments, using the current allocation method:

                                     Linder's Department    Chiro's Department

First-floor square feet            900                                1,800

Average occupancy cost        $8                                    $8

Total Occupancy costs         $7,200                           $14,400

b. Allocation of Occupancy costs to Linder and Chiro Departments, using the relative market values of the floor space:

                                               Linder's Department    Chiro's Department

First-floor square feet                            900                      1,800

Relative market value per square foot $40                       $10

Total Occupancy costs:

 Depreciation, interest & taxes       $36,000                 $18,000

 Heating, lighting, & maintenance

 (Rate = $1.375)                                 $1,237.50               $2,475

Total occupancy costs                    $37,237.50            $20,475

c. As a manager of a second-floor department I would prefer the second method, where only the heating, lighting, and maintenance costs are based on the average cost and the rest of the occupancy costs are based on the relative market values of the floor space.  The reason is that it looks more justified given that the two floors do not have the same market value.  Assuming that the two floors command the same market value, then the first method is okay.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Depreciation—Building          $31,500

Interest—Building mortgage   47,250

Taxes—Building and land        14,000     $92,750

Gas (heating) expense              4,375

Lighting expense                      5,250

Maintenance expense             9,625      $19,250

Total occupancy cost         $112,000

Total square feet = 14,000

Average occupancy cost based on square feet = $8 ($112,000/14,000)

Building = 7,000 square feet on each floor

Diane Linder's first-floor department = 900 square feet

Juan Chiro's second-floor department = 1,800 square feet

Market rental costs (excluding costs for heating, lighting, and maintenance):

First-floor space = $40 per square foot

Second-floor space = $10 per square foot

ABC Corporation has the following information: Total market value of a company’s stock: $650 million Total market value of the company’s debt: $150 million Cost of Equity: 10% Cost of Debt: 8% Corporate tax rate is 35 percent What is the WACC of ABC Corporation?

Answers

Answer:

WACC of ABC Corporation is 91%

Explanation:

WACC = Kd * (1+T) * Debt/Debt+Equity + Ke * Debt/Equity

Kd = Cost of debt

T = Corporate tax rate

WACC = 0.08*(1-0.35)*(150m/150m+650m) + 0.10*(650m/150m+650m)

WACC = 0.08 *0.65*0.1875 + 0.10*0.8125

WACC = 0.00975 + 0.08125

WACC = 0.091

WACC = 91%

Therefore, the WACC of ABC Corporation is 91%

Dvorak Company produces a product that requires 5 standard pounds per unit. The standard price is $2.50 per pound. If 1,000 units required 4,500 pounds, which were purchased at $3.00 per pound, what is the direct materials (a) price variance, (b) quantity variance, and (c) total direct materials cost variance

Answers

Answer:

Direct material price variance= $2,250 unfavorable

Direct material quantity variance= $1,250 favorable

Total variance= $1,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (2.5 - 3)*4,500

Direct material price variance= $2,250 unfavorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Standard quantity= 5*1,000= 5,000

Direct material quantity variance= (5,000 - 4,500)*2.5

Direct material quantity variance= $1,250 favorable

Total variance= 1,250 - 2,250= $1,000 unfavorable

If output doubles when inputs double, the production function will be characterized by:_________.
A. constant returns to scale
B. decreasing returns to scale.
C. increasing returns to scale.
D. none of the above.

Answers

Answer:

Requirement 1: Production Output will be 61.42 Units.

Requirement 2: Production Output will be doubled.

Requirement 3: Constant Returns to Scale

Explanation:

Requirement 1:

The output at K=46 and N=82 is given as under:

Y = (46)^1/2  *  (82)^1/2

Y = 61.42 Units

Requirement 2:

Now if we double "K" and "N" then:

Y' = (2K)^1/2  *  (2N)^1/2

Y' = 2 [(K)^1/2  *  (N)^1/2]

Y' = 2Y

This means that the output will be doubled.

Requirement 3:

Option A. Constant Returns to Scale

Constant returns to scale occurs when the increase in the input causes same proportional increase in the production output. Such same proportional increase in the production output is referred to as Constant Returns to Scale.

In the given scenario, as the production output doubles with the doubling of input which was seen in the requirement above. We can say that the production function is characterized by Constant Returns to Scale.

Consider two bonds, a 3-year bond paying an annual coupon of 5%, and a 20-year bond, also with an annual coupon of 5%. Both bonds currently sell at par value. Now suppose that interest rates rise and the yield to maturity of the two bonds increases to 8%. a. What is the new price of the 3-year bond?

Answers

Answer:

$922.69  

Explanation:

The price of the 3-year bond can be computed using the below bond price formula:

Price=face value/(1+r)^n+coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r

face value is $1000

r is the new interest rate of 8%

n is the number of annual coupons the bond would pay which is 3

coupon=face value*coupon rate=$1000*5%=$50

price=1000/(1+8%)^3+50*(1-(1+8%)^-3)/8%

price of 3-year bond=$922.69

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales in Units

April 54,000

May 75,000

June 94,000

July 82,000

Desired ending inventory= 20% of the following month’s sales.

The inventory at the end of March was 10,800 units.

To calculate the production for each month, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

April:

Sales= 54,000

Ending inventory= 75,000*0.2= 15,000

Beginning inventory= (10,800)

Total= 58,200 units

May:

Sales= 75,000

Ending inventory= 94,000*0.2= 18,800

Beginning inventory= (15,000)

Total= 78,800 units

June:

Sales= 94,000

Ending inventory= 82,000*0.2= 16,400

Beginning inventory= (18,800)

Total= 91,600 units

Total for the quarter= 228,600 units

In the above case, Sales in Units in the month of April is 54,000, in the month of May is 75,000, in the month of June is 94,000 and in the month of July is 82,000.

What is sales?

A sale is defined as a transaction between the parties in which the purchaser acquires goods, services, or assets in return for money. In some cases, other assets are pay off to a seller.

Computation of production:

According to the available information,

Desirable closing inventory= 20% of the following month’s sales.

The inventory at the end of March was 10,800 units.

To calculate the production in each month, the formula is:

[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}[/tex]

Production in the month of April:

According to the given information,

Sales= 54,000

Ending inventory:

[tex]=75,000\times \dfrac{20}{100}\\= 15,000[/tex]

Beginning inventory= 10,800

Now, apply the given values in the above formula:

[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}\\\\\text{Production} =54,000+15,000-10,800\\\\\text{Production}=58,200\text{Units}[/tex]

Production in the month of May:

Sales= 75,000

Ending inventory:

[tex]=94,000\times \frac{20}{100}\\\\= 18,800[/tex]

Beginning inventory= 15,000

Now, apply the given values in the above formula:

[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}\\\\\text{Production} =75,000+18,800-15,000\\\\\text{Production}=78,800\text{Units}[/tex]

Production in the month of June:

Sales= 94,000

Ending inventory:

[tex]872,000\times\dfrac{20}{100}= 16,400[/tex]

Beginning inventory= 18,800

Now, apply the given values in the above formula:

A stock’s risk premium depends on its firm-specific risk. There is a linear and positive relationship between a stock’s total risk and its required return.

Answers

Answer: A stock’s risk premium depends on its beta

Explanation:

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) helps in knowing the relationship that exists between the systematic risk and return whihc an individual or a firm expects for an assets, such as stocks.

It should be noted that the beta influences the return. Therefore, stock’s risk premium depends on its beta.

b. At what volume of output would the two alternatives yield the same profit? (Round your answer to the nearest whole amount.)
c. If expected annual demand is 10,000 units, which alternative would yield the higher profit?

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Machine A:

Fixed costs= $38,000

Unitary cost= $7

Machine B:

Fixed costs= $31,000

Unitary cost= $11

Revenue per unit= $19

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the  following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Machine A:

Break-even point in units= 38,000 / (19 - 7)

Break-even point in units= 3,167

Machine B:

Break-even point in units= 31,000 / (19 - 11)

Break-even point in units= 3,875

Now, we need to determine the indifference point:

Machine A= 38,000 + 7x

Machine B= 31,000 + 11x

x= number of units

We will equal both formulas and isolate x:

38,000 + 7x = 31,000 + 11x

7,000 = 4x

1,750=x

To avoid having a voidable contract, all 'time is of the essence' deadlines set by the contract must be met:________

a. within 24 hours of the stated deadline.
b. within 48 hours of the stated deadline.

Answers

Answer:

None of the choices are needed

Explanation:

As we know that

The contract is an agreement between two parties who are eligible and enforceable by  law

The voidable contract is an agreement that is not unenforceable by law due to various reasons like - party failure to complete the contract on time, fraud, misrepresentation, etc

So in the case of the voidable contract, no grace period is applicable neither 24 hours nor 48 hours as if there is a deadline so the same should be considered

Hsung Company accumulates the following data concerning a proposed capital investment: cash cost $175, 846, net annual cash flows $37, 300, and present value factor of cash inflows for 10 years 5.02 (rounded). (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45).)
Determine the net present value, and indicate whether the investment should be made?

Answers

Answer:

NPV = $11400

As the NPV from the project is positive, the investment should be made.

Explanation:

The NPV or net present value is an important metric that is used for project and investment evaluation. The NPV is the present value of the series of cash flows provided by the project less the initial cost incurred to undertake the project. NPV can be calculated as follows,

NPV = (Annual Cash Flow * Present value factor) - Initial cost

NPV = (37300 * 5.02)  -  175846

NPV = $11400

As the NPV from the project is positive, the investment should be made.

One of the world's most-recognizable franchisers is McDonald's. Advantages of franchising in global markets include:

Answers

Answer: d. forgoing the development costs and risks associated with opening up a foreign market.

Explanation:

Franchising is a way of expanding a business by allowing another company to sell the products of the expanding company and pay them for it.

It works by the Expanding company (franchisor) providing their skills, technical know-how and allowing the franchisee to use their image rights to sell products.

This is a cheap way of expanding in foreign markets because the franchisor does not have to spend money starting up in that country and developing a business from scratch. It can simply license another company that is already there to sell for it thereby avoiding risks of setting up anew in a foreign market.

"What action is the Federal Reserve MOST likely to take if it is worried about increasing inflation due to extremely rapid economic expansion?"

Answers

Answer: Increase reserve requirements

Explanation:

Reserve requirements refer to the proportion of deposits that banks are required to leave with the Fed for safekeeping and the protections of depositors.

This amount reduces the amount of money that the banks can give out as loans and so is quite useful in monetary policy.

If the Fed is worried about increasing inflation due to extremely rapid economic expansion, the way to rein this in is to embark on a contractionary monetary policy.

One way to do so is to increase the reserve requirement which would mean that banks have to hold more money. Should this happen then the money supply in the economy would decrease which would ideally decrease inflation and reduce the funds available for both investment and consumption which would lead to a decrease in economic activity as well.

The Sisyphean Company has a bond outstanding with a face value of $1,000 that reaches maturity in 8 years. The bond certificate indicates that the stated coupon rate for this bond is 8​% and that the coupon payments are to be made semiannually. Assuming the appropriate YTM on the Sisyphean bond is 9.6​%, then this bond will trade at

Answers

Answer:

this bond will trade at $912.05.

Explanation:

There is an Inverse relationship between the yield and the price of bond.

As the yield goes up, the price of bond goes down, that is trade at discount.Whereas, as the yield goes down, the price of bond goes up, that is trade at a premium.

The Bond investment in Sisyphean Company is trading at a discount.

The Price of the Bond, PV can be determined as follows..

PV = ?

FV = $1,000

PMT = ($1,000 × 8​%) ÷ 2 = $40

P/yr = 2

YTM = 9.6​%

n = 8 × 2 = 16

Using a Financial Calculator, the Price of the Bond, PV  is $912.05.

Cantor Corporation acquired a manufacturing facility on four acres of land for a lump-sum price of $9,000,000. The building included used but functional equipment. According to independent appraisals, the fair values were $4,500,000, $3,000,000, and $2,500,000 for the building, land, and equipment, respectively. The initial values of the building, land, and equipment would be:

Answers

Answer:

Initial value of building = $4,050,000

Initial value of land = $2,700,000

Initial value of equipment = $2,250,000

Explanation:

The fair value of an asset refers to a unbiased estimate of the likely market price of the asset.

The initial value of a fixed asset refers to the amount of money that spent to acquire or create the asset.

The initial value of each asset from a group of asset can be calculated using the following formula:

Initial value of an asset = Lump-sum price * (FVA / TFV) ............ (1)

Where, from the questio;

Lump-sum price = $9,000,000

FVA = Fair value of a particular asset. From the question, we have:

Building fair value = $4,500,000

Land fair value = $3,000,000

Land fair value  = $2,500,000

TFV =Total fair value = Building fair value + Land fair value + Land fair value = $4,500,000 + $3,000,000 + $2,500,000 = $10,000,000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we can determine the initial value of each asset as follows:

Initial value of building = $9,000,000 * ($4,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.45 = $4,050,000

Initial value of land = $9,000,000 * ($3,000,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.30 = $2,700,000

Initial value of equipment = $9,000,000 * ($2,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.25 = $2,250,000

Zycon has produced 10,000 units of partially finished Product A. These units cost $20,000 to produce, and they can be sold to another manufacturer for $12,000. Instead, Zycon can process the units further and produce finished Products X, Y, and Z. Processing further will cost an additional $16,000 and will yield total revenues of $30,000.Required:Identify weather the tem is relevant or irrelevant to the sew or process further decision.

Answers

Answer:

1. $20,000 cost already incurred to a produce. - Irrelevant

This cost has already been incurred in the initial production and as such are classified as sunk costs. Sunk costs are not relevant to the decision on whether to sell or process the product further.

b. $12,000 selling price - Relevant

As this amount relates to the selling price were the product not to be processed further, it is relevant to the sell or process the products further decision.

c. $16,000 additional processing costs - Relevant

This is the incremental cost should the product be processed further and so is relevant to the decision.

d. $30,000 revenues from processing further. - Relevant.

As the total revenue that could be realized if the product is processed further, this is very relevant to the decision on whether to process further or sell.

Sloan Corporation is considering new equipment. The equipment can be purchased from an overseas supplier for $3,040. The freight and installation costs for the equipment are $610. If purchased, annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $420 per year over the four-year useful life of the equipment. Alternatively, Sloan can lease the equipment from a domestic supplier for $1,460 per year for four years, with no additional costs. Prepare a differential analysis dated December 3, to determine whether Sloan should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the machine. (Hint: This is a "lease or buy" decision, which must be analyzed from the perspective of the machine user, as opposed to the machine owner.) If an amount is zero, enter "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss.

Answers

Answer:

Sloan Corporation

Differential Analysis:

Cost of Alternative 1 (Lease) - $1,460.00

Cost of Alternative 2 (Buy) = $1,332.50

Choose Alternative 2, purchase the equipment, and there will be a cost saving of $127.50 per year.

Explanation:

Buy Decision:

Cost of purchase = $3,040

Freight-in                      610

Total cost               $3,650

Annual equipment cost =     $912.50

Annual Repair cost =              420.00

Total annual cost to buy = $1,332.50

Cost of Lease per year = $1,460

Sloan Corporation's differential analysis of the lease or buy decision shows that it would be more profitable to purchase the equipment than to lease.  With a purchase decision, the cost savings will be $127.50 per year.  By undertaking this differential analysis, Sloan Corporation is able to determine the alternative that will serve its best interest, especially in terms of cost.
