4. Problems and Applications Q4 Many observers believe that the levels of pollution in our society are too high. True or False: If society wishes to reduce overall pollution by a certain amount, it is efficient to have firms with lower costs reduce greater amounts of pollution than those with higher costs.
Answer: True
Explanation:
Firms with lower costs would also incur a lower cost when they try to reduce pollution so they should reduce more pollution because of this reduced cost that they will incur.
Firms with higher costs would then reduce less pollution because this would ensure that they do not spend too much on pollution reduction and incur even more costs.
A manufacturing company has the following budgeted overhead costs: Indirect materials: $0.50 per unit; Utilities: $0.25 per unit; Supervisory salaries: $60,000; Building rent: $80,000. If the company expects to produce 200,000 units using 100,000 hours of direct labor, the standard overhead rate will be $
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.45 per unit
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the variable overhead per unit:
Unitary variable overhead= Indirect materials + Utilities
Unitary variable overhead= 0.5 + 0.25
Unitary variable overhead= $0.75 per unit
Now, the total fixed overhead, and fixed overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Total fixed overhead= Supervisory salaries + Building rent
Total fixed overhead= 60,000 + 80,000
Total fixed overhead= $140,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 140,000 / 200,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.7 per unit
Finally, the total predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 0.75 + 0.7
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.45 per unit
If an investor has a choice of investing money at 6% compounded daily or 6.025% compounded quarterly which one is best
General Rule: Daily compounding gives a higher yield
Compounding works like this:
6.025% per quarter
Quarter 1: $100 x 6.025% = $6.025
Quarter 2: $106.025 x 6.025% = $6.388
Quarter 3: $112.413 x 6.025% = $6.7729
Quarter 4: $119.186 x 6.025% = $7.4491
Etc…
6% per day
Day 1: $100 x 6% = $6
Day 2: $106 x 6% = $6.36
...
Day 365: $193.47 x 6% = $11.96

Answer:
a. Particulars Amount$
Kevlar per kayak 250
Resin and Supplies per kayak 100
Finishing Kit per kayak 170
Labor per Kayak 420
Variable selling & admin. exp. per kayak 400
Total variable cost per kayak 1,340
b. Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit
Contribution margin per unit = $2,000 per unit - $1,340 per unit
Contribution margin per unit = $660 per unit
c. Break-even point in units = Total fixed costs/ Contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units = ($ 119,700 + $240,000) / $660 per unit
Break-even point in units = 545 units
d. Number of units to be sold = (Total Fixed cost + Target Profit)/ Contribution margin per unit
Number of units to be sold= ($119,700 + $240,000 + $270,600) / $660 per unit
Number of units to be sold = 955 units
So therefore, the company needs to sell 955 units in order to achieve target profit of $270,600.

a). Bad Debts Expense $50 640
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $50 640
b). Bad Debts Expense $48089.1
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $48089.1
Bad debts:
Bad debts are described as debts that are unable to be recovered from their respective debtors.The key reasons for this could be:
The debtor is bankrupt and cannot pay the amount.The debtor flees away and thus, can't be compelled to pay.The given amounts are obtained as follows:
a). Given that,
Bad debts is 1.5% of credit sales.
Credit Sales = $3,376,000
Bad debts = 1.5% of $3,376,000
∵ Bad debts = 1.5/100 * $3,376,000
= $50 640
b). Given that,
Bad debts = 1 % of total sales.
Total Sales = Credit sale + Cash sale
= $3,376,000 + $1,432,910
= $4808910
Bad debts = 1% of 4808910
∵ Bad debts = 1/100 * $4808910
= $48089.1

Bow-Wow Company manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $50 and a unit sales price of $88. Fixed manufacturing costs were $240,000 when 10,000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1,000 units at $70 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient (excess) capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows:
a. Income would decrease by $4,000.
b. Income would increase by $4,000.
c. Income would increase by $70,000.
d. Income would increase by $20,000.
The difference between actual overhead costs incurred and the budgeted overhead costs based on a flexible budget is the: Multiple Choice Production variance. Controllable variance. Volume variance. Price variance. Quantity variance.
The difference between actual overhead costs incurred and the budgeted overhead costs based on a flexible budget is the controllable variance.
In accounting, there are two elements of a variance- rate variance and volume variance. While the rate variance refers to the difference in the actual price paid vs. the budgeted price, the volume variance refers to the portion of the variance in sales, unit usage.
The controllable variance is in the "rate" element of the variance.Controllable variance refers to the process by which the efficiency of using variable overhead resources is measured.This means that the controllable variance is the difference between the actual cost and the budgeted overhead cost.The calculation for this variance is: Actual overhear expense - (budgeted overhead cost x standard number of units)= overhead controllable variance.In short, we can say that the controllable variance is the amount that is not part of the volume variance. Rather, it is the difference in the overhead cost incurred and the budgeted overhead cost.

Ms. Colonial has just taken out a $150,000 mortgage at an interest rate of 6 percent per year. If the mortgage calls for equal monthly payments for 20 years, what is the amount of each payment? (Assume monthly compounding or discounting.)
How do you solve this w/o a financial calculator?
Answer:
1. The monthly payment is:
= $1,074.65
2. To solve this without a financial calculator, you will calculate the future value of the $150,000 at a discount rate of 0.5% (6%/12) for 240 months. Then the calculated Future Value is divided by 240 to obtain the monthly payment.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mortgage = $150,000
Interest rate = 6% per year
Monthly payments = 240 (20 * 12)
Period of mortgage = 20 years
N (# of periods) 240
I/Y (Interest per year) 6
PV (Present Value) 150000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results
PMT = $1,074.65
Sum of all periodic payments = $257,915.18
Total Interest = $107,915.18
Without a financial calculator (using future value table):
Future value factor of 0.5% for 240 = 1.7194345
Future value of $150,000 = $257,915.18 ($150,000 * 1.7194345)
Monthly payment = $1,074.65 ($257,915/18/240)

If the average annual rate of return for common stocks is 11.7 percent, and 4.0 percent for U.S. Treasury bills, what is the average market risk premium?
Answer:
7.7%
Explanation:
Risk premium is the return an investor would want for holding a risky bond. It is the excess return earned over holding a risk free bond
Risk premium = return on risky asset - return on U.S. Treasury bills
The U.S. Treasury bills is considered to be risk free because the US government cannot default
On the other hands, stocks are risky because companies can default on payment of dividends due to various reasons e.g. insolvency
11.7 - 4 = 7.7%

The manufacturing costs of Ackerman Industries for the first three months of the year follow:
Total Costs Units Produced
January $1,900,000 20,000 units
February 2,250,000 27,000
March 2,400,000 30,000
Using the high-low method, determine (a) the variable cost per unit and (b) the total fixed cost.
a. Variable cost per unit $
b. Total fixed cost $
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $50
Fixed costs= $900,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total Costs Units Produced
January $1,900,000 20,000 units
February 2,250,000 27,000
March 2,400,000 30,000
To calculate the unitary variable cost and the fixed cost under the high-low method, 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= (2,400,000 - 1,900,000) / (30,000 - 20,000)
Variable cost per unit= $50
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 2,400,000 - (50*30,000)
Fixed costs= $900,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 1,900,000 - (50*20,000)
Fixed costs= $900,000
Rosina purchased one 15-year bond at par value when it was initially issued. This bond has a coupon rate of 7 percent and matures 13 years from now. If the current market rate for this type and quality of bond is 7.5 percent, then Rosina should expect: the bond issuer to increase the amount of all future interest payments. the yield to maturity to remain constant due to the fixed coupon rate. to realize a capital loss if she sold the bond at today's market price. today's market price to exceed the face value of the bond. the current yield today to be less than 7 percent.
Answer:
to realize a capital loss if she sold the bond at today's market price.
Explanation:
Given that
NPER is 13
RATE is 7.5%
PMT is 7% of $1,000
Future value be $1,000
We need to find out the present value
So,
The current price of the bond is:
=PV(7.5%,13,7%*1000,1000)
=$959.37
Now if she wants to sell the bond now, so the value should be less than the face value due to which there should be the capital loss
A granary allocates the cost of unprocessed wheat to the production of feed, flour, and starch. For the current period, unprocessed wheat was purchased for $120,000, and the following quantities of product and sales revenues were produced.
Product Pounds Price per Pound
Feed 100,000 $ 0.70
Flour 50,000 2.20
Starch 20,000 1.00
How much of the $120,000 cost should be allocated to flour if the value basis is used?
a) $24,500.
b) $84,000.
c) $66,000.
d) $70,000.
e) $200,000.
Answer:
c) $66,000.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The value allocated is as follows:
Feed (100,000 × 0.7)=70,000
Flour (50,000 × 2.2)=110,000
Starch (20,000 × 1)=20,000
Total 200,000
Now allocation to the flour is
= (110,000 ÷ 200,000 × 120,000)
= $66,000
hence, the option c is correct

If there is a change in one thing then there can also be a change in another and it may have an effect.
The best accuracy and false alarm rate for a classification algorithm at the approaches suggested are calculated and plotted to create the ROC curve.
The Receiver Operating Characteristic curve, abbreviated ROC curve, was created to find hostile aircraft using radar. Therefore, option B is the correct option.

Petrox Oil Co. is considering a project that will have fixed costs of $12,000,000. The product will be sold for $37.50 per unit and will incur a variable cost of $12.80 per unit.
Given Petrox's cost structure, it will have to sell __________ units to break even on this project (Q_BE).
Petrox Oil Co.'s marketing sales director doesn't think that the market for the firm's goods is big enough to sell enough units to make the company's target operating profit of $15,000,000. In fact, she believes that the firm will be able to sell only about 150,000 units. However, she also thinks the demand for Petrox Oil Co.'s product is relatively inelastic, so the firm can increase the sale price. Assuming that the firm can sell 150,000 units, what price must it set to meet the CFO's EBIT goal of $15,000,000?
a. $192.80
b. $221.72
c. $241.00
d. $202.44
Answer:
Fixed costs = $12,000,000
Selling price = $37.50
Variable cost = $12.80
hope this helps
At the given cost structure, Petrox have to sell 485,830 units to break-even on this project .The selling price to to be set to meet the profit of $15,000,000 is $192.80. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
What is break-even ?The break-even point occurs when total cost and total revenue are equal. Though opportunity costs have been paid and capital has received the risk-adjusted, expected return, there is no net loss or gain. In short, all necessary costs are met, and there is no profit or loss.
The break even units is calculated as,
Break-even units = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin
= Fixed Cost / Sale Price - Variable Cost
= $12,000,000/ $37.50-$12.80
= 485,830 units
The price that needed to be set is calculated as,
Target units=Fixed Costs+ Target EBIT/selling price-variable cost
Assume selling price is X
150,000= ($12,000,000+$15,000,000) / X-12.80
150,000=27,000,000 / X-12.80
150,000× (X-12.80)=27,000,000
X - 12.80=27,000,000 / 150,000
X-12.80 = 180
X = 180+12.80
X= $192.80
Therefore, the break-even units is 485,830 and the the price to be set is $192.80 to meet the CFO's EBIT goal of $15,000,000.
