Explanation:
Sales price variance = (Actual price - Budgeted price) * Actual units sold
Product R : ($25 - $26) * 123000 = $123000 unfavorable
Product S:($20 - $22) * 162700 = $325400 unfavorable
Product T: ($10 - $20) * 54000 = $540000 unfavorable
Sales volume variance = (Actual units - Budgeted units) * Standard price
Product R : (120000 - 123000) * 26 = $78000 favorable
Product S:(150000 - 162700) * 22 = $279400 favorable
Product T: (20000 - 54000) * 20 = $680000 favorable
Notes:
Actual units:
Product R = $3075000/ $25 = 123000
Product S = $3254000/$20 = 162700
Product T = $540000/$10 = 54000 units

1.Calculate the following profitability ratios for 2021: (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
The four main profitability ratios are:
gross profit margin = (revenue - COGS) / revenue = ($8,400,000 - $5,535,600) / $8,400,000 = 0.341 or 34.1%net profit margin = net profit / revenue = $332,500 / $8,400,000 = 0.03958 or 3.96%return on assets = net income / average total assets = $332,500 / [($3,700,000 + $3,300,000)/2] = $332,500 / $3,500,000 = 0.095 or 9.5%return on equity = net income / shareholders equity = $332,500 / $1,000,000 = 0.3325 or 33.25%2.Determine the amount of dividends paid to shareholders in 2021.
retained earnings 2021 - retained earnings 2020 = net income - dividends
$250,000 - $150,000 = $332,500 - dividends
$100,000 + dividends = $332,500
dividends = $332,500 - $100,000 = $232,500
A financier plans to invest up to $500,000 in two projects. Project A yields a return of 9% on the investment of x dollars, whereas Project B yields a return of 17% on the investment of y dollars. Because the investment in Project B is riskier than the investment in Project A, she has decided that the investment in Project B should not exceed 40% of the total investment. How much should the financier invest in each project in order to maximize the return on her investment
Answer:
She should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.
Explanation:
Solution
Since Project B yields a higher return, she should invest as much money as possible in it, which is 40% of the total investment or
or (0.40)($500,000) = $200,000
so
The remaining $500,000 - $200,000 = $300,000 should be invested in Project A.
Therefore, she should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.
In 2020, Marigold Corp., issued for $102 per share, 86000 shares of $100 par value convertible preferred stock. One share of preferred stock can be converted into three shares of Marigold's $25 par value common stock at the option of the preferred stockholder. In August 2021, all of the preferred stock was converted into common stock. The market value of the common stock at the date of the conversion was $30 per share. What total amount should be credited to additional paid-in capital from common stock as a result of the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock?
Answer:
$2322,000
Explanation:
The computation of amount credited to additional paid-in capital is shown below:-
Amount credited to additional paid-in capital = Issued per share × Number of shares) - (Number if shares × Preferred stock shares converted into three shares × Par value of common stock
= ($102 × 86,000) - (86,000 × 3 × $25)
= $8,772,000 - $6,450,000
= $2322,000
So, for computing the amount credited to additional paid-in capital we simply applied the above formula.
Blossom Co. leased machinery from Young, Inc. on January 1, 2020. The lease term was for 8 years, with equal annual rental payments of $5,800 at the beginning of each year. In addition, the lease provides an option to purchase the machinery at the end of the lease term for $1,500, which Blossom is reasonably certain it will exercise as it believes the fair value of the machinery will be at least $5,000. The machinery has a useful life of 10 years and a fair value of $43,000. The implicit rate of the lease is not known to Blossom. Blossom’s incremental borrowing rate is 9%. Prepare Blossom’s 2020 journal entries
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
1. Right of use Dr, $35,743.93
To lease liability $35,743.93
(Being lease assets and lease liability is recorded)
Working note as attached using spreadsheet
Here we debited the right of use as it increased the assets and we credited the lease liability as it also increased the liability
2. Lease liability Dr, $5,800
To Cash $5,800
(Being payment on lease liability is recorded)
Here, we debited the lease liability as it decrease the liability and we credited the cash as it decreased the asset
3. Interest expenses Dr, $2,694.95
To Lease liability $2,694.95
(Being interest expenses is recorded)
Here we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses and we credited the leased liability as it increased the liability
4. Amortization expenses Dr, $3,574.39 ($35,743.93 ÷ 10 )
To Right of use $3,574.39
(Being amortization expenses is recorded)
Here we debited the amortization expenses as it increase the expenses and we credited the right of use as it reduced the assets
Working Note
Interest expenses = (Lease liability - First lease payment) × Incremental borrowing rate
= ($35,743.93 - $5,800) × 9%
= $2,694.95
Stahlmaere Inc. is a start-up company that manufactures simple machines. It is interested in analyzing the profit from a new machine using Monte Carlo simulation. It wants to investigate the profit resulting from a selling price of $150 per unit. The setup and advertising costs are known to total $75,000. They assume that the demand for the product is normally distributed with a mean of 1500 units and a standard deviation of 100 units. The company estimates that the raw material cost per unit is uniformly distributed between $5 and $6. The labor cost per unit is assumed to follow a discrete uniform distribution from $12 to $16. A junior analyst has devised the following Excel spreadsheet that simulates a single scenario using the information given above: Selling price per unit = 150 Set up and advertising cost = 75000 Demand = =NORM.INV(RAND(),1500,100) Raw material cost per unit = =5+(6-5)*RAND() Labor cost per unit = =RANDBETWEEN(12,16) Profit = =(B1*B4)-B2-((B5+B6)*B4) Copy-and-paste the above information into cells A1:B8 of an Excel spreadsheet. Then use a data table to repeat the simulation 1000 times. From the simulation results, estimate Stahlmaere's expected mean profit. Understanding that simulation is random in nature and that your estimate is unlikely to match any of the answer choices exactly, choose the answer choice that is closest to the estimated mean profit.

Suppose Mr. Lane just bought a share of BlueWind Co., a renewable energy startup. BlueWind promises to pay Mr. Lane $18 in dividends for one year and then the firm will shut down. Suppose that the liquidation value of the share is $3, and the rate of time preference is 5%. Then, according to the single-period dividend discount model, the present value of the cash payment received by Mr. Lane in one year would be
Answer:
The present value of the cash payment is $20
Explanation:
The present value of cash payment receivable by Mr Lane in one year's time is the today's equivalent amount of the dividend of $18 as well as the liquidation value of $3.
The present value is the total cash inflows multiplied by the discount factor
discount factor=1/(1+r)^n
where is the rate of time preference of 5%'
n is 1 i.e in one year's time
total cash inflows=$18+$3=$21
discount factor =1/(1+5%)^1=0.95238
present value of cash payment=0.95238*$21=$20

(Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50% or 10.50.) Overhead rate per direct labor cost enter percentages rounded to 2 decimal places % Overhead rate per direct labor hour $enter a dollar amount rounded to 2 decimal places Overhead rate per machine hour $enter a dollar amount rounded to 2 decimal places
Answer:
Basis Rate
Labour hour $18 per direct labour
Machine hour $9 per machine hour
Budgeted labour cost 180% of labour cost
Explanation:
Predetermined overhead absorption rate=
Estimated Overhead for the period/Estimated activity level
Labour hour basis
Estimated Overhead for the period/Estimated labour hours
= $900,000/50,000
=$18 per direct labour
Machine hour basis
Estimated Overhead for the period/Estimated machine hours
Overhead rate per machine hour = $900,000/100,000 hours
=$9 per machine hour
Direct labour cost basis
Pre-determined overhead rate = Estimated Overhead for the period/Estimated labour cost
=$900,000/($500,000)×100
=180 % of labour cost
Basis Rate
Labour hour =$18 per direct labour
Machine hour =$9 per machine hour
Budgeted labour cost 180% of labour cost
The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 26 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $367.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would require Imperial Jewelers to buy a special tool for $457 and that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $7. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed. To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $8.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The company also believes that accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding party’s order using its existing manufacturing capacity.
Answer:
this special order will result in a $2,637 profit, so the company should accept it

Becton Labs, Inc., produces various chemical compounds for industrial use. One compound, called Fludex, is prepared using an elaborate distilling process. The company has developed standard costs for one unit of Fludex, as follows: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 2.50 ounces $ 22.00 per ounce $ 55.00 Direct labor 0.90 hours $ 16.00 per hour 14.40 Variable manufacturing overhead 0.90 hours $ 2.00 per hour 1.80 Total standard cost per unit $ 71.20 During November, the following activity was recorded related to the production of Fludex: Materials purchased, 14,000 ounces at a cost of $289,800. There was no beginning inventory of materials; however, at the end of the month, 4,050 ounces of material remained in ending inventory. The company employs 26 lab technicians to work on the production of Fludex. During November, they each worked an average of 150 hours at an average pay rate of $15.00 per hour. Variable manufacturing overhead is assigned to Fludex on the basis of direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead costs during November totaled $5,000. During November, the company produced 3,900 units of Fludex. Required: 1. For direct materials: a. Compute the price and quantity variances. b. The materials were purchased from a new supplier who is anxious to enter into a long-term purchase contract. Would you recommend that the company sign the contract
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation is shown below:
Material price variance
= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)
= 14,000 × ($22 - $289,800 ÷ 14,000)
= 14,000 × ($22 - $20.70)
= 14,000 × $1.30
= $18,200 favorable
Material quantity variance
= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)
= $22 × (3,900 units × 2.5 - 14,000 ounces - 4,050 ounces)
= $22 × (9,750 - 9,950)
= $22 × 200
= $4,400 unfavorable

A local bicycle manufacturing firm, Trailblazers, Inc., offered to sell these rear wheel assemblies to Mobility. If Mobility makes the assembly, its cost per rear wheel assembly is as follows (based on annual production of 2,000 units): Direct materials $ 26 Direct labor 53 Variable overhead 21 Fixed overhead 49 Total $ 149 Trailblazers has offered to sell the assembly to Mobility for $110 each. The total order would amount to 2,000 rear wheel assemblies per year, which Mobility's management will buy instead of make if Mobility can save at least $20,000 per year. Accepting Trailblazers's offer would eliminate annual fixed overhead of $38,500. Required: a. Prepare a schedule that shows the total differential costs. (Select option "higher" or "lower", keeping Status Quo as the base. Select "none" if there is no effect.)
Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of the total differential cost schedule is presented below
Schedule showing statement of total differential cost
Particulars Make the wheels Buy from trailblazers Differential cost
Offer of trailblazer $220,000 $220,000 Higher
(2000 × $110)
Material cost $52,000 $52,000 Lower
($26 × 2000)
Labor cost $106,000 $106,000 Lower
($53 × 2000)
Variable overhead $42000 $42,000 Lower
($21 × 2000)
Fixed overhead $98000 $59,500 $38,500 Lower
($49 × 2000) ($98,000 -$38,500)
Total cost $298,000 $279,500 ($18,500) Lower
By adding the total cost we can get the making cost, buying cost and differential cost
Which of the following statements is correct with respect to inventories? The FIFO method assumes that the costs of the earliest goods acquired are the last to be sold. It is generally good business management to sell the most recently acquired goods first "Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased." FIFO seldom coincides with the actual physical flow of inventory.
Answer:
Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased.
Explanation:
First in, first out inventory (FIFO) method values cost of goods sold using the purchase price of the "oldest" units in inventory. This means that the cost of the first units sold will be used to determine COGS.
On the other hand, last in, first out (LIFO) method uses the price of the most recently purchased units to determine the cost of goods sold.
During March 2020, Toby Tool & Die Company worked on four jobs. A review of direct labor costs reveals the following summary data. Actual Standard Job Number Hours Costs Hours Costs Total Variance A257 200 $4,000 210 $4,200 $200 F A258 450 10,350 430 8,600 1,750 U A259 300 6,390 299 5,980 410 U A260 110 2,090 103 2,060 30 F Total variance $1,990 U Analysis reveals that Job A257 was a repeat job. Job A258 was a rush order that required overtime work at premium rates of pay. Job A259 required a more experienced replacement worker on one shift. Work on Job A260 was done for one day by a new trainee when a regular worker was absent. Prepare a report for the plant supervisor on direct labor cost variances for March. (Round actual rate and standard rate to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)
Answer and Explanation:
The Preparation of report for the plant supervisor on direct labor cost variances for March is attached with the help of spreadsheet.
The Formula are as shown below:-
Actual per hour = Actual costs ÷ Actual number of hours
Standard per hour = Standard costs ÷Standard number of hours
Quantity variance = (Actual hours -Standard hours) × Standard Rate
Price variance = (Actual Rate - Standard Rate) × Actual Hour
Therefore if actual hours is lesser than Standard hours it will become favorable and if actual hours is higher than standard hours it will become unfavorable. In the similar way if actual rate is higher than standard rate then it will become unfavorable on the other hand if actual rate is lesser than standard rate then it will become favorable.

The MoMi Corporation’s income before interest, depreciation and taxes, was $2.7 million in the year just ended, and it expects that this will grow by 5% per year forever. To make this happen, the firm will have to invest an amount equal to 15% of pre tax cash flow each year. The tax rate is 30%. Depreciation was $330,000 in the year just ended and is expected to grow at the same rate as the operating cash flow. The appropriate market capitalization rate for the unlevered cash flow is 12% per year, and the firm currently has debt of $5 million outstanding. Use the free cash flow approach to calculate the value of the firm and the firm’s equity. (Enter your answer in dollars not in millions.)
Answer:
1. The value of the firm is $23,760,000
2. The value of the equity is $18.76m
Explanation:
In order to calculate the value of the firm we would have to use the following formula:
Value of firm = FCF1 / (r - g) = FCF0 x (1 + g) / (r - g)
Operating Cash Flows (OCF) = (EBITDA - Depreciation) x (1 - tax) + Depreciation
= (2,700,000 - 330,000) x (1 - 30%) + 330,000
= $1,989,000
Free Cash Flow (FCF) = OCF - Investment
We know that investment = 15% of EBITDA = 15% x 2,700,000 = 405,000
Current FCF = 1,989,000 - 405,000 = 1,584,000
Therefore, Value of the firm = 1,584,000 x (1 + 5%) / (12% - 5%) = $23,760,000
To calculate the value of equity we would have to use the following formula:
Value of equity = Value of Firm - Value of Debt = 23.76 - 5 = $18.76m
Answer:
Value of the firm $ 14550000.
Value of the firm's equity $ 11550000.
Explanation:
Cash flow from operations = $ 1785000 (1700000 + 5 % of 1700000).
Depreciation = $ 241500. (230000 + 5 % of 230000).
Taxable income = $ 1543500 (1785000 - 241500)
Net income (after tax) = 1543500 - 30 % of 1543500 = $ 1080450.
Cash flow from operations (after tax) = 1080450 + 241500 (Depreciation, being non cash expense). = $ 1321950.
Free cash flow available = Cash flow from operations (after tax) - Income from investment.
= 1321950 - (1700000 * 17 % * 1.05)
= 1321950 - 303450.
= $ 1018500.
Value of the firm = Free cash flow available / (Capitalization rate - Growth rate)
= 1018500 / (0.12 - 0.05)
= 1018500 / 0.07
= $ 14550000.
Value of the firm's equity = Total value of firm - Value of debt of firm
= 14550000 - 3000000
= $ 11550000.
Conclusion :-
Value of the firm $ 14550000.
Value of the firm's equity $ 11550000.

Southern Alliance Company needs to raise $70 million to start a new project and will raise the money by selling new bonds. The company will generate no internal equity for the foreseeable future. The company has a target capital structure of 60 percent common stock, 15 percent preferred stock, and 25 percent debt. Flotation costs for issuing new common stock are 12 percent, for new preferred stock, 9 percent, and for new debt, 2 percent. What is the true initial cost figure the company should use when evaluating its project ?
Answer:
$88,832,487.31
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
FT = flotation cost of new debt percent × target capital debt percent + flotation cost of new common stock percent × target capital common stock percent + flotation cost of new preferred stock percent × target capital preferred stock percent
= 0.02 × 0.25+ 0.12 × 0.60 + 0.09 × 0.15
= 0.005 + 0.072 + 0.135
= 0.212
Now
True initial cost
= $70 million ÷ ( 1 - 0.212)
= $70 million ÷ 0.788
= $88,832,487.31
Peggy sells pistachios and almonds at the farmer’s market. She currently prices pistachios at $7 per bag and almonds at $4 per bag. She observes that every hour, 4 people each buy one bag of pistachios and 2 people each buy one bag of almonds. Having surveyed them, she learns that 2 of the pistachio buyers would be willing to pay $2 for the bag of almonds while the other two would only be willing to pay $1. Both almond buyers would be willing pay $5 for the bag of pistachios. Suppose Peggy decides to sell a bundle containing one bag of pistachios and one bag of almonds in addition to selling them separately. What price should she charge for the bundle in order to maximize revenue?
Answer:
The price she should charge for the bundle in order to maximize profit is 9
Explanation:
Solution
The total pistachios sold = 7 * 2 =14
The total almonds sold is = 4*1 = 4
So,
The total of both pistachios and almonds = 14 + 4 + 18
Thus,
we solve for getting average of the two which is:
Getting the average of the two in the bundle = 18/2
=9
Therefore p =9

A television manufacturer would like to reduce its inventory. To this end, you are asked by the operations manager to assess its inventory level. You have the following information on average inventories from last year's financial statement: Raw materials $1,500,000 Work-in-process $1,200,000 Finished goods $800,000 In addition, the cost of goods sold last year (50 weeks) was $20 million. What is its total inventory (measured as weeks of supply) Answer
Answer:
A.8.75 weeks
B.5.71
Explanation:
a.
Weeks of supply = average aggregate inventory value/weekly sales at cost
=(1,500,000 + 1,200,000 + 800,000)/(20,000,000/50)
=3,500,000/400,000
= 8.75 weeks
b.Inventory turnover = annual sales (at cost)/average aggregate inventory value
=20 million/3.5 million
= 5.71
Answer:
Weeks Of Supply = 27.82 weeks
Explanation:
Weeks of Supply tells us that on average how long an inventory will last based on current demand.
The formula to calculate it is given below
Weeks Of Supply = Average Aggregate Inventory Value/ Weekly Cost of Sales
Weeks Of Supply = Raw Materials + Work In Process + Finished Goods/ Weekly Cost of Sales
Weeks Of Supply =$1,500,000+ $1,200,000+ $800,000/$ 20,000,000/52
Weeks Of Supply = 10,700,000/384615.385= 27.82 weeks
If the weeks of supply is lower it is better.
Inventory Turnover= $ 20,000,000/10,700,000=1.87 turns
