Answer:
1. Amortization of net loss = $1000
2. Ending Net Loss: $244,200
Explanation:
Data Given:
Net Loss Post Retirement Benefit Plan = $222,000
Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation = $2,100,000
Fair value of Plan Assets = $440,000
Average Remaining Service period to Retirement = 12 years
Average Remaining Service period to full eligibility = 10 years
Rate of Return on Plan Assets during the year = 12%
Expected Return = 10%
Estimate in the obligation = $32,000
Required:
1. Amortization of net loss
Solution:
For Amortization of net loss, we need to have the value of excess at the beginning of the year and average remaining service years.
So,
Net loss = $222,000
And
Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation = $2,100,000
Expected Return = 10%
So,
Find 10% of the Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation
$2,100,000 x 10% = $210,000
Now, for excess at the beginning of the year:
$222,000 - $210,000
excess at the beginning of the year = $12,000
And we know that,
Average Remaining Service period to Retirement = 12 years
Amortization of net loss = $12,000/12 years
Amortization of net loss = $1000
2. Net loss or gain at the end of the year.
Solution:
We know the beginning net loss = $222,000
Estimate in the obligation = $32,000
Now, we need to find the excess actual return over expected return:
Amortization of net loss = $1000
Fair value of Plan Assets = $440,000
Rate of Return on Plan Assets during the year = 12%
Expected Return = 10%
excess actual return over expected return: $440,000 x (12% - 10%)
excess actual return over expected return: $440,000 x (2%)
excess actual return over expected return: $8,800
Now,
For the Ending Net Loss:
(beginning net loss + Estimate in the obligation - excess actual return over expected return - Amortization of net loss)
$222,000 + $32,000 -$8,800 - $1000 = $244,200
Ending Net Loss: $244,200
A country has constant opportunity cost of production. If they devote all of their resources to the production of blankets they can produce a total of 284 per week. If they devote all of their resources to the production of t-shirts they can produce a total of 612 shirts per week. What is the opportunity cost of producing 1 blanket
Answer:
2.15 shirts
Explanation:
Opportunity cost or implicit is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
By producing one more blanket, the country would be forgoing the opportunity to produce one more shirt.
opportunity cost of producing 1 blanket = 612 shirts / 284 = 2.15 shirts
Parks Corporation is considering an investment proposal in which a working capital investment of $10,000 would be required. The investment would provide cash inflows of $2,000 per year for six years. The working capital would be released for use elsewhere when the project is completed. If the company's discount rate is 10%, the investment's net present value is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided.
Answer:
$4,355.26
Explanation:
The net present value is the present value of future cash flows expected from the project minus the initial investment outlay
initial investment outlay=working capital investment = -$10,000
Years 1-5 cash inflow=$2,000
Year 6 cash inflow=normal cash inflows+release of working capital
Year 6 cash inflow=$2,000+$10,000=$12,000
the present value of a future cash flow=cash flow/(1+r)^n
n is 1 for year cash inflow 2 for year 2 cash inflow, 3 for year 3 cash inflow and so on
NPV=-$10,000+$2,000/(1+10%)^1+$2,000/(1+10%)^2+$2,000/(1+10%)^3+$2,000/(1+10%)^4+$2,000/(1+10%)^5+$12,000/(1+10%)^6
NPV=$4,355.26
Kenny, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park. The company bought some land six years ago for $7.7 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities elsewhere. The land would net $10.5 million if it were sold today. The company now wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $21.7 million to build, and the site requires $920,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project
Answer:
$33,120,000
Explanation:
Calculation for What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project
Using this formula
Proper Cash Flow Amount = (Expected Cost of Selling + Cost of Building Manufacturing Plant + Cost of Grading)
Let plug in the formula
Proper Cash Flow Amount = ($10,500,000 + $21,700,000 + $920,000)
Proper Cash Flow Amount = $33,120,000
Therefore the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project will be $33,120,000
Derek will deposit $9,359.00 per year for 18.00 years into an account that earns 4.00%, The first deposit is made next year. He has $18,418.00 in his account today. How much will be in the account 49.00 years from today
Answer:
FV= $904,322.05
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the future value of the 18 deposits 19 years from now. Also the value of the $18,418 19 years from now.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit= 9,359
n= 18
i= 0.04
FV= {9,359*[(1.04^18) - 1]} / 0.04
FV= $240,015.42
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 18,418*(1.04^19)
FV= $38,803.95
Total FV= 240,015.42 + 38,803.95= $278,819.37
Finally, the value of the account for the remaining 30 years:
FV= 278,819.37*(1.04^30)
FV= $904,322.05

Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data: Total machine-hours 31,500 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 220,500 Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 6.00 Recently, Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job 10 Total machine-hours 40 Direct materials $ 685 Direct labor cost $ 1,370 If the company marks up its unit product costs by 40% then the selling price for a unit in Job T687 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$2575
Explanation:
Total variable overhead estimated=(6*31,500)= $189,000
Hence total overhead estimated=Total variable overhead estimated+Total fixed overhead estimated = $189,000 + $220,500 = $409,500
Hence, predetermined overhead rate = $409,500 / 31,500 = $13 per machine hour
Hence, total overhead applied=(13*400) = $520
Hence, total job cost=Direct material+Direct labor+Total overhead = $685 + $1,370 + $520 = $2575

Data pertaining to the postretirement health care benefit plan of Danielson Delivery Service include the following for the current calendar year: Service cost $ 150,000 APBO, January 1 $ 800,000 Plan assets (fair value), January 1 $ 80,000 Prior service cost (current year amortization, $2,000) $ 90,000 Retiree benefits paid (end of year) $ 90,000 Net gain (current year amortization, $1,000) $ 92,000 Contribution to health care fund (end of year) $ 85,000 Return on plan assets (actual and expected) 10 % Discount rate 8 % Required: 1. Determine Danielson's postretirement benefit expense for the current year.
Answer: $207,00
Explanation:
Postretirement benefit for the year is:
= Service cost + Interest cost + Amortization of prior service cost - Return on plant assets - Amortization of net gain
Interest cost = Discount rate * Actual Projected benefit obligation (APBO)
= 8% * 800,000
= $64,000
Return on plant assets = Return on plan assets (actual and expected)* Plan assets
= 10% * 80,000
= $8,000
Postretirement benefit = 150,000 + 64,000 + 2,000 - 8,000 - 1,000
= $207,000

The following data pertains to Lam Co.'s manufacturing operations: Inventories 4/1 4/30 Direct Materials $ 18,000 $ 15,000 Work in Process 9,000 6,000 Finished Goods 27,000 36,000 Additional information for the month of April: Direct materials purchased $ 32,000 Direct labor 30,000 Direct labor rate per hour 10.00 Factor overhead incurred 40,000 Overhead is applied at $12 per direct labor hour. For the month of April, conversion cost incurred was:
Answer: $65000
Explanation:
For the month of April, the conversion cost that was incurred would be calculated as:
Beginning inventory of Direct Materials = $18000
Add: Purchase = $32000
Total cost of Direct Materials available = $50000
Less: Ending inventory of Direct Material = $15000
Therefore, Direct material used:
= $50000 - $15000 = $35000
Add: Direct labor = $30000
Conversion cost incurred = $35000 + $30000 = $65000
Suppose a city block was going to be used for a parking lot in both New York City and a small town. The opportunity cost would be multiple choice 2 lower in New York City because the alternative uses of the city block are more varied. lower in a small city because the alternative uses of the city block are more varied. greater in New York City because the alternative uses of the city block are more valuable. greater in a small city because the alternative uses of the city block are more valuable.
Answer:
c. The opportunity cost would be greater in New York City because the alternative uses of the block are more valuable.
Explanation:
Value of piece of land would be much higher in New York City in comparison to a small town.
This means that if a piece of land is used for parking lot in the New York City then the alternative use of such land would be more valuable in comparison to the utilization of similar piece of land in a small town.
Higher the value of alternative uses, higher would be the opportunity cost. So, the opportunity cost would be greater in New York City because the alternative uses of the block are more valuable.
Suppose the United States is currently producing 100tons of hamburgers and 45tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 20tons of hamburgers and 25tons of tacos. If the United States and Mexico each specialize in producing only one good (the good for which each has a comparative advantage), then a total of nothingadditional ton(s) of hamburgers can be produced for the two countries combined (enter a numeric response using an integer)
Answer: 50 additional tons of hamburgers
Explanation:
United States opportunity costs:
Hamburger opportunity cost = 45/100 = 0.45 tons of tacos
Taco opportunity cost = 100/45 = 2.22 tones of hamburgers
Mexico opportunity cost:
Hamburger opportunity cost = 25/20 = 1.25 tons of tacos
Taco opportunity cost = 20/25 = 0.8 tones of hamburgers
US should specialize in Hamburger production because they have a lower opportunity cost.
If both countries combined production of hamburgers then the total would be:
= 100 + 20
= 120 tons of hamburgers
There is missing information on this question which is the US production of hamburgers when it produces 0 tacos. We shall assume that number to be 170 tons of hamburgers.
The total additional tons produced would be:
= US tons when producing only hamburgers - Combined hamburger production
= 170 - 120
= 50 additional tons of hamburgers

Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following:
Machine A could be purchased for $60,500. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $2,100 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $6,050.
Machine B could be purchased for $55,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $8,400 in year three, $10,500 in year six, and $12,600 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value.
Required:
Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year.
Answer:
Esquire should purchase Machine A.
Explanation:
Note: The requirement of this question is not complete. The complete requirement is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:
Required:
Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations.
Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of the present value of Machine A & Machine B.
In the attached excel file, the following is used:
Discounting factor = 1 / (1 + r)^n ……………………………. (1)
Where:
r = interest rate = 8%, or 0.08
n = the year in focus
From part 1 of the attached excel file, we have:
Net present value of Machine A = -$71,788.85
From part 2 of the attached excel file, we have:
Net present value of Machine B = -$75,092.36
Since the Net present value of Machine A of -$71,788.85 is less than the Net present value of Machine B of -$75,092.36, Esquire should purchase Machine A.

The CFO of Stephenson Company has asked you to recalculate the following accounts and report to him by week's end.
What should be the amount of direct materials used?
a. $208,400
b. $405,500
c. $440,800
d. $201,500
Answer:
Direct material used= $183,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct Materials Purchased 171,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Beginning 18,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Ending 6,000
To calculate the direct material used, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 18,000 + 171,000 - 6,000
Direct material used= $183,000
Prove:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 30,000 + 183,000 + 55,000 + 112,000 - 40,000
cost of goods manufactured= $340,000

The chart below gives prices and output information for the country of Utopia. Use this information to calculate real and nominal GDP for both years. Use 2001 as the base year.
Year 2000 2001
Price Quantity Price Quantity
Ice Cream $7.00 600 $3.00 400
Blue Jeans $70.00 20 $20.00 90
Laptops $300.00 5 $300.00 5
2000 nominal GDP = $_________
2001 nominal GDP = $_________
2000 real GDP = $_________
2001 real GDP = $_________
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Nominal GDP = Sum of (Present Year Price × Present Year Quantity)
And,
Real GDP = Sum of (Base Year Price × Present Year Quantity)
Now
(a) Nominal GDP, 2000 is
= $[(7 × 600) + (70 × 20) + (300 × 5)]
= $4,200 + $1,400 + $1,500
= $7,100
(b) Nominal GDP, 2001 is
= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]
= ($1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500)
= $4,500
(c) Real GDP, 2000 is
= $[(3 × 600) + (20 × 20) + (300 × 5)]
= $1,800 + $400 + 1,500
= $3,700
(d) Real GDP, 2001 is
= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]
= $1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500
= $4,500
Tirri Corporation has provided the following information: Cost per Unit Cost per Period Direct materials $ 7.50 Direct labor $ 3.85 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.55 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 24,400 Sales commissions $ 1.05 Variable administrative expense $ 0.60 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 8,800 If the selling price is $28.10 per unit, the contribution margin per unit sold is closest to:
Answer:
$13.55
Explanation:
The contribution margin per unit is computed as;
= Selling price - (Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Sales commission + Variable administrative expense)
= $28.10 - ($7.50 + $3.85 + $1.55 + $1.05 + $0.60)
= $28.10 - $14.55
= $13.55
Therefore , the contribution margin per unit is $13.55
