Answer:
1. 1,500 miles
2. Profit
3.4,000 miles
Explanation:
1. Calculation to Determine how many miles Russell needs to drive to break even k-Even Miles
First step is to calculate the Unit contribution margin
Using this formula
Let plug in the formula
Unit contribution margin = Sales price – Variable cost per unit
Unit contribution margin= $0.75 per mile – $0.35 per mile
Unit contribution margin= $0.40 per mile
Now let determine the Break-even units using this formula
Break-even units = Total fixed cost / Unit contribution margin
Let plug in the formula
Break-even units= $600 / $0.40
Break-even units= 1,500 miles
Therefore how many miles Russell needs to drive to break even k-Even Miles will be 1,500 miles
2. Calculation to determine whether he earned a profit or a loss last month Assume Russell drove 1,800 miles last month
Profit=1,800 miles – 1,500 miles
Profit=300 miles
Therefore Assume Russell drove 1,800 miles last month he will EARNED A PROFIT last month
3. Calculation to determine how many miles Russell must drive to earn $1,000 in profit.
Using this formula
Target units = (Fixed cost + Target Profit) / Unit contribution margin
Let plug in the formula
Target units = ($600 + $1,000) / $0.40
Target units = 4,000 miles
Therefore how many miles Russell must drive to earn $1,000 in profit will be 4,000 miles
Companies Heidee and Leaudy have the same sales, tax rate, interest rate on their debt, total assets, and basic earning power. Both companies have positive net incomes. Company Heidee has a higher debt ratio and, therefore, a higher interest expense. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Explain your selection with at least 200 words.
a. Company Heidee has more net income.
b. Company Heidee pays less in taxes.
c. Company Heidee has a lower equity multiplier.
d. Company Heidee has a higher ROA.
e. Company Heidee has a higher times interest earned (TIE) ratio.
Answer:
All the statements are CORRECT about Heidee Company, except statement 'e'.
Explanation:
With the higher debt ratio and higher interest expense, Heidee Company will pay less in taxes, all other things equal. Taxes are computed on the after-interest income. This lower tax expense will also translate to more net income for Heidee. Certainly, based on its higher debt ratio than Leaudy, its equity multiplier will be higher. It will also return more in assets than Leaudy based on the higher net income.
Disney suffered lawsuits in France, at Disneyland Paris, because of the lack of fit between its transferred personnel policies and the French employees charged to enact them. This is an example of the: Group of answer choices effect of demand conditions. liability of foreignness. risks of a multidomestic strategy. effects of regionalization.
Answer:
liability of foreignness
Explanation:
Liability of foreignness is defined as the cost above what local firms incur that is realised by companies that operate in a foreign country.
This extra cost is influenced by various business environments that exist in the foreign country.
In the given scenario Disneyland Paris is suffering loss through lawsuits because of the lack of fit between its transferred personnel policies and the French employees charged to enact them.
This conflict is giving an extra cost profile which is referred to as liability of foreignness.

Explanation:
The Widget Co. can produce widgets according to the formula: q = 5K^3/4 L^1/4 where q is the output of widgets, and K, L are the quantities of capital and labor used.
a. Are there constant, increasing or decreasing returns to scale in widget production? Explain.
b. Are there, constant, increasing or decreasing marginal products of factors? Explain
c. In the short run, the amount of capital used by company A. is fixed. Derive the short-run cost function. (Note that the short-run cost function will show C as a function of Q, K and the factor prices w and r.)
d. Derive the long-run cost function.
Answer:
A) Constant Return to Scale
B) Decreasing Marginal Products
C) Short Run Cost Function = w*(Q/5)4 *(1/K`3) + rK`
D) (2Q/5)*(r3/4)*(w1/4)
Explanation:
A) Q(tL,tK) = 5*(tK)3/4*(tL)1/4
= t*Q(L,K)
Hence it exhibits constant return to scale
B) Here MPK = dQ/dK
= (3/4)* 5*L1/4*K-1/4
So dMPK/dK = (-3/16)*5*L1/4*K-5/4
Hence dMPK/dK < 0
thus exhibits decreasing Marginal Products
(Similarly for Labor also)
C) let K is fixed at K`
So Q = 5*K`3/4*L1/4
So L = (Q/5)4*(1/K`3)
So Short Run Cost Function = w*L + r*K`
C = w*(Q/5)4 *(1/K`3) + rK`
D) in long run, MRTS = MPL / MPK = w/r
So K/L = w/r
Thus rK = wL
So from production function
Q = 5*(wL/r)3/4*L1/4
= 5*(w/r)3/4*L
L* = (Q/5)*(r/w)3/4
similarly K* = (Q/5)*(w/r)1/4
so Long Run Cost Function = wL* + rK*
= (2Q/5)*(r3/4)*(w1/4)
The contribution margin ratio is 25% for Grain Company and the break-even point in sales is $200,000. To obtain a target net operating income of $60,000, sales would have to be:_____.
A. $260,000.
B. $440,000.
C. $280,000.
D. $240,000.
Answer:
Option B. 440000
Explanation:
Given the contribution margin = 25%
Sales at break-even point = $200000
Net operating income = $60000
Sales at break even point = TFC / contribution margin ratio
200000 = TFC / 25%
TFC = 50000
Now find the net income:
Net income = Contribution margin - Fixed cost
60000 = Contribution margin - 50000
Contribution margin =60000 + 50000 = 110000
Sales revenue = Contribution margin / contribution ratio
Sales revenue = 110000 / 0.25 = 440000
If a court determines that a manager's corporate decision amounted to self-dealing, a. the manager is automatically personally liable to the corporation. b. the transaction being challenged will be automatically voided. c. the manager will automatically be fired. d. the business judgment rule will not apply.
Answer:
d. the business judgment rule will not apply.
Explanation:
A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.
One of the advantage of a corporation is that, owners have limited liability for debt to the extent to which they have invested and as such are not personally liable for some of debt owed by corporation.
A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of providing guidance, support, supervision, administrative control, as well as acting as a role model or example to the employees working in an organization by being morally upright.
Generally, managers are typically involved in taking up leadership roles and as such are expected to be build a strong relationship between their employees or subordinates by creating a fair ground for effective communication and sharing of resources and information. Also, they are required to engage their staff members (entire workforce) in the most efficient and effective manner.
In Business management, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a manager's corporate decision amounted to self-dealing i.e putting his or her own interests first, the business judgment rule will not apply.
Generally, in order for the business judgement rule to apply, it is expected or required that a manager should act in the best interest of a corporation.
There are linkages between the microeconomic decisions made by managers and the macroeconomic environment. There are numerous examples from the current recession of company layoffs at the micro level, directly influenced by the decline in economic activity at the macro level. For this assignment, research this linkage. How did the recession impact businesses/managers at the macro and micro levels? You may use one company as the basis of your research.
Answer:
One typical example of this linkage between the economy at the macroeconomic level, and business decisions at the macroeconomic and microeconomic level, is what happened with Lehman Brothers in 2008.
Explanation:
Lehman Brothers was one of the main investment banks in the United States. During the years prior to the financial crisis, Lehman Brothers decided to pursue a risky but profitable strategy of over leveraging -lending a lot more money than they had as deposits.
Once the financial crisis hit, a macroeconomic event, it affected the company at the macro and micro level. At the macro level because Lehman Brothers itself ceased to exist as it went bankrupt, and at the micro level, because it had to enter a process to pay off some debtors, and some of the employees who were laid off due to the dissolution of the firm.

A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,500,000 and can be sold for $715,000 at the end of the project. The asset is in the 5-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 20.00 percent, 32.00 percent, 19.20 percent, 11.52 percent, and 11.52 percent, respectively. The company's tax rate is 34 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?
Hint: 1. Find the remaining book value at the end. 2. Subtract this from the expected sale price to find the gain on sale. 3. Apply the tax rate to this gain to find the taxes owed. 4. The after-tax salvage value is the sale price minus the taxes.
a) $715,000.
b) $752,468.
c) $540,444.
d) $677,532.
e) $471,900.
Answer:
d) $677,532.
Explanation:
1.
Written down value of the equipment after 4 years = Cost x ( 100% - 1st year MACRS - Second-year MACRS - Third-year MACRS - Fourth-year MACRS ) = $3,500,000 x ( 100% - 20% - 32% - 19.20% - 11.52% ) = $604,800
2.
Now calculate the gain on the sale of equipment
Gain on the sale of equipment = Sale Price - Written down Value after 4 years = $715,000 - $604,800 = $110,200
3.
Tax owed = Gain on the sale x Tax rate = $110,200 x 34% = $37,468
After-tax salvage value = Sales price - Tax = $715,000 - $37,468 = $677,532

Botosan Factory has budgeted factory overhead for the year at $717,474, and budgeted direct labor hours for the year are 364,200. If the actual direct labor hours for the month of May are 331,400, the overhead allocated for May is
Answer:
$652,858
Explanation:
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity
= $717,474 ÷ 364,200
= $1.97 per direct labor hour
Allocated overheads = Predetermined overhead rate x Actual Activity
= $1.97 x 331,400 direct labor hours
= $652,858
therefore,
The overhead allocated for May is $652,858.

The financial statements of the Bramble Corp. report net sales of $473850 and accounts receivable of $56000 and $25000 at the beginning of the year and the end of the year, respectively. What is the accounts receivable turnover for Bramble?
Answer:
the accounts receivable turnover for Bramble is 5.85 times
Explanation:
The computation of the account receivable turnover ratio is shown below
the account receivable turnover ratio is
= Net sales ÷ (Beginning account receivable + ending account receivable) ÷ 2
= $473,850 ÷ ($56,000 + $25,000)
= 5.85 times
Hence, the accounts receivable turnover for Bramble is 5.85 times

XYZ Tile Installation Corporation measures its activity in terms of square feet of tile installed. Last month, the budgeted level of activity was 1,180 square feet and the actual level of activity was 1,270 square feet. The company's owner budgets for supply costs, a variable cost, at $3.50 per square foot. The actual supply cost last month was $4,980. What would have been the spending variance for supply costs
Answer:
The appropriate solution is "$535 U". A further explanation is described below.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Actual level of activity,
= 1270
Budgeted variable cost,
= $3.50
Actual supply cost,
= $4980
Now,
The spending variance for supply costs will be:
= [tex](Actual \ level \ of \ activity\times Budgeted \ variable \ cost)\times Actual \ supply \ cost[/tex]
= [tex](1270\times 3.50)-4980[/tex]
= [tex]4445-4980[/tex]
= [tex]535[/tex] (unfavorable)

a. Owner made no investments in the business, and no dividends were paid during the year.
b. Owner made no investments in the business, but dividends were $1,250 cash per month.
c. No dividends were paid during the year, but the owner did invest an additional $55,000 cash in exchange for common stock.
d. Dividends were $1,250 cash per month, and the owner invested an additional $35,000 cash in exchange for common stock.
Determine the net income earned or net loss incurred by the business during the year for each of the above separate cases:
a. b. c. d.
Beginning of the year
Answer:
The Beginning Equity is: Ending equity is:
= Assets - liabilities = 115,000 - 46,575
= 57,000 - 24,436 = $68,425
= $32,564
a. Net income if no investments:
= Ending equity - beginning equity
= 68,425 - 32,564
= $35,861
b. No investment but dividends were $1,250 per month
= Ending equity - beginning equity + dividends
= 68,425 - 32,564 + (1,250 * 12)
= $50,861
c. Investment of $55,000:
= Ending equity - beginning equity - Equity investment
= 68,425 - 32,564 - 55,000
= -$19,139
d. Dividends of $1,250 per month and Investment of $35,000:
= Ending equity - beginning equity - Equity investment + Dividend
= 68,425 - 32,564 - 35,000 + (1,250 * 12 months)
= $15,861
1. Brodrick Company expects to produce 20,000 units for the year ending December 31.

Sales revenue $480,000 $480,000 $0
Variable costs 96,000 112,000 $16,000 U
Fixed costs 150,000 145,000 5,000 F
Net operating income $234,000 $223,000 $11,000 U
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected production units = $20,000
Expected sales based on 20,000 units = $400,000 at $20 per unit
Variable costs = $80,000 at $4 per unit
Fixed costs = $150,000
Expected sales based on 26,000 units
Expected level of income from operations:
Sales revenue = $520,000 ($20 * 26,000)
Variable cost = 104,000 ($4 * 26,000)
Fixed cost = 150,000
Net income = $266,000
Actual sales revenue for the year = $480,000 (24,000 * $20)
Actual variable costs = 112,000 (24,000 * $4.67)
Actual fixed costs = 145,000
Net operating income = $223,000

In Myanmar, six laborers, each making the equivalent of $3.00 per day, can produce 40 units per day. In China, ten laborers, each making the equivalent of $2.00 per day, can produce 45 units. In Billings, Montana, two laborers, each making $60.00 per day, can make 100 units. Based on labor cost per unit only, the most economical location to produce the item is
Answer:
China
Explanation:
Calculation to determine which location would be most economical to produce the item
Using this formula
LaborCost per Unit=Labor Cost per Day/Production(units per day)
Let plug in the formula
Myanmar = 6 Laborers x $3/day = $18/day
Myanmar=$18/day/ 40 units
Myanmar= $0.45/unit
China = 10 Laborers x $2/day = $20/day
China= $20/day/ 45 units
China= $0.444/unit
Montana = 2 Laborers x $60/day = $120/day
Montana= $120/day/100 units
Montana = $1.20/unit
Therefore the location that would be most economical to produce the item is CHINA
Assume that Nortel manufactures specialty electronic circuitry through a unique photoelectronic process. One of the primary products, Model ZX40, has a standard labor time of 0.5 hour and a standard labor rate of $12.50 per hour. During February, the following activities pertaining to direct labor for ZX40 were recorded:
Direct labor hours used 2,230
Direct labor cost $34,000
Units of ZX40 manufactured 4,800
Required:
a. Determine the labor rate variance.
b. Determine the labor efficiency variance.
c. Determine the total flexible budget labor cost variance.
Answer:
A = $6,125
B = $2,125
C = $6,125
Explanation:
Standard Labor Time = 0.5 hours, Standard Labor rate = $12.50 per hour, Standard Time = 4800 * 0.5hour P U = 2400 hours
Actual labor time used = 2,230, Direct labor Cost = $34,000 per hour =$15.25 , Units manufactured = 4,800
(a) Labor Rate Variance = Actual Cost - standard cost of Actual Hours = $34,000 - ($12.50 * 2230) = $34,000 - $27,875 = $6,125 Favorable
(b) Labor Efficiency Variance = Standard Cost of Actual Hours - Standard Cost = (2,230 * 12.50) - (12.50 * 2400) = $27,875 - $30,000 = $2,125 Unfavorable
(c) Flexible budget labor cost variance = Flexible Budget cost - Actual Cost = (Actual qty * Std Rate) - (Actual qty - Actual Rate) = (2,230 * $12.50) - $34,000 = $27,875 - $34,000 = $6,125 Unfavorable

Accumulated depreciation 45,000
Long-term debt 40,000
Supplies expense 14,000
Merchandise inventory 31,000
Sales revenue 140,000
Required:
a. Calculate the total current assets at December 31, 2019.
b. Calculate the total liabilities and owners’ equity at December 31, 2019.
c. Calculate the earnings from operations (operating income) for the year ended December 31, 2019.
d. Calculate the net income (or loss) for the year ended December 31, 2019.
e. What was the average income tax rate for Pope’s Garage for 2019?
f. If $16,000 of dividends had been declared and paid during the year, what was the January 1, 2019, balance of retained earnings?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the total current asset is shown below
= Account receivable + cash + supplies + merchandise inventory
= $33,000 + $9,000 + $6,000 + $31,000
= $79,000
b The total liabilities and owners equity is
= Account payable + long term debt + common stock + retained earnings
= $23,000 + $40,000 + $10,000 + $59,000
= $132,000
c. The earnings from operations is
Sales revenue $140,000
Less cost of goods sold $90,000
Gross profit $50,000
add: service revenue $20,000
Less depreciation expense $12,000
Less supplies expense $14,000
Operating income $44,000
d. The net income is
= operating income - interest expense - income tax expense
= $44,000 - $4,000 - $12,000
= $28,000
e. The average income tax rate is
= $12,000 ÷ $40,000 × 100
= 30%
f. The beginning retained earnings is
= $59,000 + $16,000 - $28,000
= $47,000

The computation of the amount reported as the investment is shown below:
= The value of the investment + investor share of the net income - dividend share of the net income
= $250,000 + 30% of $100,000 - 30% of $3,000
= $250,000 + $30,000 - $3,000
= $277,000
Hence, the amount reported as the investment is $277,000
