Answers

Answer:

Cost of the ending inventory = $7,108

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

A company had the following purchases during the current year:

January        17 Units at $112

February       37 Units at $123

May               32 Units at $135

September   29 Units at $143

November    27 Units at $153

On December 31, there were 53 units remaining in ending inventory. These 53 units consisted of 9 from January, 10 from February, 14 from May, 8 from September, and 12 from November. Using the specific identification method, what is the cost of the ending inventory?

Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Specific identification method is an inventory method under which costs of goods sold and the closing/ending inventory are calculated using the particular cost of each inventory batch at the moment they were received.

Therefore, cost of the ending inventory is calculated as sum of the product of the number of closing units from each month and the cost per unit of purchases in that month.

Therefore, we have:

Cost of the ending inventory = (Number of closing units from January * Cost per unit of January Purchases) + (Number of closing units from February * Cost per unit of February Purchases) + (Number of closing units from May * Cost per unit of May Purchases) + (Number of closing units from September * Cost per unit of September Purchases) + (Number of closing units from November * Cost per unit of November Purchases) ………… (1)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Cost of the ending inventory = (9 * $112) + (10 * $123) + (14 * $135) + (8 * $143) + (12 * $153) = $7,108

Answers

Answer:

b. $(2,767).

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

= Present cash flows - initial investment

= ($11,600 × 3.0373) - $38,000

= $35,232.68 - $38,000

= -$2,767.32

= -$2,767

Hence, the option b is correct

We simply applied the above formula to determine the net present value

An increase in the price of rubber coincides with an advance in the technology of tire production. As a result of these two events,a. the demand for tires decreases and the supply of tires increases.b. the demand for tires is unaffected and the supply of tires decreases.c. the demand for tires is unaffected and the supply of tires increases.d. None of the above is necessarily correct. What should be the demand and supply?

Answers

Answer:

d

the demand for tires is unaffected and effect on the supply of tires could increase, decrease, or stay the same.

Explanation:

An increase in the price of rubber would lead to an increase in the cost of producing tires. Rubber is an input required in the production of tires.

As a result of the increase in the cost of rubber, the supply of rubber would decrease. This would lead to a leftward shift of the supply curve. Equilibrium price would increase and quantity would decrease

As a result of the advance in technology, there would be an increase in the supply of tires. As a result, the supply curve shifts outward. Equilibrium price would decrease and quantity would increase

Taking these wo effects together, the demand for tires is unaffected and effect on the supply of tire is indeterminate

Year 1:

= 250 * ( 1 + 15%)¹⁹

= $3,557.94

Year 2:

= 300 * ( 1 + 15%)¹⁸

= $3,712.636

Year 3:

= 450 * ( 1 + 15%)¹⁷

Future value of all:

= 3,557.94 + 3,712.636 + 4,842.5688

= $12,113.14

Rocky Guide Service provides guided 1–5 day hiking tours throughout the Rocky Mountains. Wilderness Tours hires Rocky to lead various tours that Wilderness sells. Rocky receives $1,600 per tour day, and shortly after the end of each month Rocky learns whether it will receive a $160 bonus per tour day it guided during the previous month if its service during that month received an average evaluation of "excellent" by Wilderness customers. The $1,600 per day and any bonus due are paid in one lump payment shortly after the end of each month.

On July 1, based on prior experience, Rocky estimated there is a 40% chance it will earn the bonus for July tours. It guided a total of 10 days from July 1–July 15.
On July 16, based on Rocky’s view that it had provided excellent service during the first part of the month, Rocky revised its estimate to an 90% chance it would earn the bonus for July tours. Rocky also guided customers for 15 days from July 16–July 31.
On August 5 Rocky learned it did not receive an average evaluation of "excellent" for its July tours, so it would not receive any bonus for July, and received all payment due for the July tours.

Kenner Company is considering two projects. Project A Project B Initial investment $85,000 $24,000 Annual cash flows $20,676 $ 6,011 Life of the project 6 years 5 years Depreciation per year $14,167 $ 4,800 Suppose that Kenner Company requires a minimum rate of return of 8%. Which project is better in terms of net present value

Answers

Answer: Project A is better as it has a higher NPV of $76,075.70

Explanation:

Annual cashflow of Project A = Annual cashflow + Depreciation

= 20,676 + 14,167

= $34,843

Project B cashflow = 6,011 + 4,800

= $10,811

As these are constant amounts, they are to be considered annuities.

Find the present value of these annuities and deduct the initial investment from them for the NPV.

Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8%, number of years

Project A NPV = (34,843 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8%, 6 periods)  - 85,000

= (34,843 * 4.6229) - 85,000

= $76,075.70

Project B NPV = (10,811 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8%, 5 periods)  - 24,000

= (10,811 * 3.9927) - 24,000

= $19,165.08

Project A is better as it has a higher NPV of $76,05.70

What is the most likely behavior of total manufacturing costs and unit manufacturing costs, given this change

Answers

Answer:

c) Total manufacturing costs will increase and unit manufacturing costs will also decrease.

Explanation:

Based on the information given the most likely behavior of total manufacturing costs and unit manufacturing costs, given this change is that TOTAL MANUFACTURING COSTS WILL INCREASE AND UNIT MANUFACTURING COSTS WILL DECREASE since Manufacturing cost consists of DIRECT MATERIALS, DIRECT LABOR, VARIABLE MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD and FIXED MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD in which direct materials, direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead are Variable expense which means that if the production increases from $40,000 to $45,000 the total manufacturing cost will as well INCREASE but due to the FIXED MANUFACTURING COST involved , the unit manufacturing cost will have to decrease.

a. How much total interest would Bethany pay at 6% simple interest?
b. How much total interest would Bethany pay at 5% interest compounded continuously?
c. Which option results in less total interest?

Answers

Answer:

a. $3000

b. 2840.25

c. compounded continuously

Explanation:

a. principal amount,  p = $10000

Interest rate in the case of simple interest = 6%

Time, t = 5 years

Interest amount = Prt

Interest amount = 10000 x 6% x 5 = $3000

b. principal amount,  p = $10000

Interest rate, r = 5%

Time, t = 5 years

Interest amount = Pe^(rt) - P

Interest amount = 10000 (2.71)^(5% x 5) - 10000

Interest amount = 2840.25

c. Compounded continuously has a lower interest amount.

Accrual accounting can be described as a method of accounting in which revenue or expenses are recorded at the time of the transaction rather than when payment is received or made.

Since this transaction occurred in March, the total revenue of orders of 123 units received in the month of March will be recognized on the March income statement from this order. That is:

Amount of revenue to recognized in March = 123 * $15.00 = $1,845.00

Therefore, the amount of revenue is recognized on the March income statement from this order is $1,845.00.

Vaughn Manufacturing has beginning work in process inventory of $158000 and total manufacturing costs of $377000. If cost of goods manufactured is $380000, what is the cost of the ending work in process inventory

Answers

Answer:

Ending WIP= $155,000

Explanation:

To calculate the ending work in process, we need to use the following formula:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

380,000= 158,000 + 377,000 - Ending WIP

Ending WIP= 158,000 + 377,000 - 380,000

Ending WIP= $155,000

Answers

Answer:

Increased

2.907%

decreased

decrease

increase

0.64

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

Abe's elasticity of demand is elastic because it has a value greater than 1.

if quantity demanded decreases, it means that price must have been increased.  this would lead to a decrease in total revenue

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

 

Blart Corp. recently paid a dividend of $5.00 per share. Analysts forecast future dividends will increase by 2% forever. The required rate of return that investors demand to hold Blart Corp.'s stock is 8% What is its estimated price per share today

Answers

Answer: $85.0

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the estimated price per share today will be:

Po = Do (1 + g) / (r - g)

Where,

Po = Current price

Do = Current dividend = 5.00

g = Dividend growth = 2% = 0.02

r = Required rate of return = 8% = 0.08

Therefore, the estimated price per share today will be:

= 5.00(1 + 0.02) / (0.08 - 0.02)

= 5.00(1.02) / 0.06

= 5.10 / 0.06

= 85.00

Therefore, the answer is $85

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Maintenance Costs Machine Hours

January $2,860 320

February 3,160 370

March 3,760 520

April 4,660 670

May 3,360 520

June 5,260 720

To calculate the variable and fixed costs, 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= (5,260 - 2,860) / (720 - 320)

Variable cost per unit= $6

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 5,260 - (6*720)

Fixed costs= $940

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 2,860 - (6*320)

Fixed costs= $940

Laurel, Inc., and Hardy Corp. both have 7.3 percent coupon bonds outstanding, with semiannual interest payments, and both are currently priced at the par value of $1,000. The Laurel, Inc., bond has 4 years to maturity, whereas the Hardy Corp. bond has 23 years to maturity. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds

Answers

Answer:

Use a financial calculator to find out the price of both bonds after the drop in interest rate.

Laurel Bond

When a bond is trading at par, it means that the interest rate is equal to the coupon rate.

Semiannual Coupon = (7.3% * 1,000) / 2 = $36.50

Terms till maturity = 4 * 2 = 8 semi annual periods

Interest rate = (7.3% + 2%) / 2 = 4.65%

Future value = $1,000 par value

Price will come out as $993.20

Percentage change = (993.20 - 1,000) / 1,000 * 100%

= -0.68%

Hardy Bond

Semiannual Coupon = (7.3% * 1,000) / 2 = $36.50

Terms till maturity = 23 * 2 = 46 semi annual periods

Interest rate = (7.3% + 2%) / 2 = 4.65%

Future value = $1,000 par value

Price = $811.53

Percentage change = (811.53 - 1,000) / 1,000

= -18.85%

Do you think the licensing process for international medical graduates is an unnecessary hurdle meant to shield U.S. doctors from foreign competition?

Answers

Answer:

No licensing is right. Doctors in U.S. are spending more on medical studies than any other country. It is necessary for other country medical students to gain license in order to do practice in the country.

Explanation:

In U.S. doctors are in deficiency so the country cannot completely cease employment for foreign doctors. The country needs to welcome foreign doctors but it is also necessary to safeguard home doctors. If U.S. will not safeguard rights of home country doctors then they will be demotivated and will not be patriotic for the country.
