You wish to take an Excel course. You may enroll at one within your school or you may take a community class at the local library. You've gathered the following information to aid in your decision-making process.
Costs/Benefits College Course Community Course
Cost $2,600 $1,390
Distance to course 0.40 miles (walking distance) 16 miles (driving distance)
Timing of course Weekday Weekend
Number of meetings 16 8
Qualitative considerations Convenience, quality of instruction Flexibility, brief duration
If you enroll in the community class, you will be unable to work at your regular job on weekends for the eight weekend days when the class meets. If you typically earn $260 per weekend shift, which option would you choose (considering enrollment cost and opportunity cost)?
a) Neither alternative
b) College course
c) Community course
d) Both alternatives
Answer:
The chosen option (considering enrollment costs and opportunity cost) is:
b) College course.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Costs/Benefits
College Course Community Course
Cost $2,600 $1,390
Opportunity costs -2,080 2,080
Net costs $520 $3,470
Distance to course 0.40 miles 16 miles
(walking distance) (driving distance)
Timing of course Weekday Weekend
Number of meetings 16 8
b) With the College course option, you will earn $2,080 ($260 * 8) weekdays to offset part of the enrollment cost. With the Community course option, $2,080 will be lost in opportunity cost, thereby increasing the total costs incurred. These costs are apart from the driving costs associated with traveling 16 miles to the Community Course at the local library.

A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month and incurred the following costs: Production costs (20,000 units): Direct materials $180,000 Direct labor 240,000 Variable factory overhead 280,000 Operating expenses: Variable operating expenses $130,000 Fixed operating expenses 50,000 180,000 If 1,600 units remain unsold at the end of the month, the amount of inventory that would be reported on the variable costing balance sheet is a.$66,400 b.$64,000 c.$78,400 d.$56,000
Answer:
d.$56,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of inventory that would be reported on the variable costing balance sheet is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
The total production cost
= Direct material + direct labor + variable factory overhead
= $180,000 + $240,000 + $280,000
= $700,000
Now the production cost per unit is
= $700,000 ÷ 20,000 units
= $35 per unit
Now the amount of inventory is
= 1,600 units × $35 per unit
= $56,000

Whistle Works sells each whistle for $12. It takes 3 ounces of metal to produce each whistle at a cost of $0.50 per ounce. They prefer to have 10% of materials required for the following month's production in ending inventory as well. How many ounces of direct materials does Whistle Works need to purchase in October to meet production needs?
A) 4,500 ounces
B) 13,575 ounces
C) 13,425 ounces
D) 4,525 ounces
Answer:
Purchases = 13575 ounces
Option B is the correct answer
Explanation:
To calculate the purchases of material for October, we first need to calculate the inventory needed to produce the desired number of units in October along with the desired ending inventory and adjust it for the available opening inventory at start of October.
Material available at Start - October = 10% * 4500 units * 3 ounces per unit Material available at Start - October = 1350 ounces
Material required at end - October = 10% * 4750 units * 3 ounces per unit
Material required at end - October = 1425 ounces
Material required to produce required units in October = 4500 * 3 = 13500
Production = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory
13500 = 1350 + Purchases - 1425
13500 + 1425 - 1350 = Purchases
Purchases = 13575 ounces

You are the manager for a Pizza restaurant. Currently, your restaurant pre-makes pizzas that are ordered the most to increase the number of pizzas being made on time for your customers. Over time, many customers have complained that their pizzas were cold upon delivery and not fresh, requesting refunds or remakes of their pizza. Your location is losing money from these wasteful practices, therefore, you want to create a Kanban based on the following basic principles:
1. A later process tells an earlier process when new items are required. This means that unless a customer orders a pizza, no pizzas will be made. Pull!
2. The earlier process produces what the later process needs.
3. No Items can be made without a Kanban card (order request). This allows the process to be transparent so everyone knows what is going on.
4. Defects are not passed on to the next stage.Create a Kanban board for your pizza company that delivers. You must have 4-6 columns with headings for each.
Required:
Decide what your Kanban cards will represent. Set Rules for your Kanban.
Answer:
RULES OF KANBAN BOARD
Yellow – A Slice of Pizza
• Blue – Full Pizza
• Green – Soda
• Green jumps from Queue to Pack only
• No pizza will be delivered without quality check
• Pizza will return to the backlog, if it is found with inferior quality during quality check
• A unique token number will be given for each order
• Orders with multiple pizza or a combo order will be given same unique token number
• Pizza will be prepared in the order of token number
• Token number will include initials “C” for carry out, “D” for dine in
THE ATTACHED IMAGE HAS THE REPRESENTATIONS OF KANBAN CARDS.
Joint products A and B emerge from common processing costs of $100,000 and yield 2,000 units of Product A and 1,000 units of Product B. Product A can be sold for $100 per unit. Product B can be sold for $120 per unit. The amount of joint costs allocated to Product A (if joint costs are allocated on the basis of relative sales value) will be $ (rounded to nearest dollar).
Answer:
Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = $62500
Explanation:
To calculate the allocation of joint costs to Product A, we must first calculate the sales revenue or value for both products.
Total sales value - Product A = 100 * 2000 = $200000
Total sales value - Product B = 120 * 1000 = $120000
Total Sales Value = 200000 + 120000 = $320000
The amount of Joint costs that will be allocated to Product A will be,
Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = (200000 / 320000) * 100000
Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = $62500

Mackenzie Company has a price of $38 and will issue a dividend of $ 2.00 next year. It has a beta of 1.3, the risk-free rate is 5.2%, and the market risk premium is estimated to be 4.9%. a. Estimate the equity cost of capital for Mackenzie. b. Under the CGDM, at what rate do you need to expect Mackenzie's dividends to grow to get the same equity cost of capital as in part (a)?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the equity cost of capital is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate + Risk Premium × Beta
= 5.20% + 4.90% × 1.30
= 11.57%
b. Now the rate at which the dividend should be grow is
Value of the stock = Expected dividend ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)
$38 = $2 ÷ (11.57% - growth rate)
so, the growth rate is 6.31%
On January 8, 2012, Speedway Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $65,000. Before placing the truck in service, Speedway spent $4,000 painting it, $2,500 replacing tires, and $8,000 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $6,000. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 22,000 miles in each of the first four years and 12,000 miles in the fifth year—100,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, David Greer, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements
1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.
2. Speedway prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. For income tax purposes, the company uses the depreciation method that minimizes income taxes in the early years. Consider the first year that Speedway uses the truck. Identify the depreciation methods that meet the general manager’s objectives, assuming the income tax authorities permit the use of any of the methods.

December 31, 2016 $79,500 $4,303 $73,500 $6,000
2. The straight-line method reports the highest net income in the early years while the double-declining-balance method minimizes the income taxes in the early years.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 8, 2012:
Purchase of a delivery truck = $65,000
Cost of painting the truck = 4,000
Cost of replacing the tires = 2,500
Cost of overhauling the engine 8,000
Total costs = $79,500
Residual value = 6,000
Depreciable amount = $73,500
Estimated useful life = 5 years
Straight-line depreciation Method:
Annual depreciation expense = $14,700 ($73,500/5)
Units-of-production Method:
Depreciation rate per mile = $0.735 ($73,500/100,000)
For 22,000 miles, depreciation expense = $16,170 ($0.735 * 22,000)
For 12 ,000 miles, depreciation expense = $8,820 ($0.735 * 12,000)
Double-declining-balance method:
Depreciation rate = 100/5 * 2 = 40%
First year's depreciation expense = $31,800 ($79,500 * 40%)
Declined balance = $47,700 ($79,500 - $31,800)
Second year's depreciation expense = $19,080 ($47,700 * 40%)
Declined balance = $28,620 ($47,700 - $19,080)
Third year's depreciation expense = $11,448 ($28,620 * 40%)
Declined balance = $17,172 ($28,620 - $11,448)
Fourth year's depreciation expense = $6,869 ($17,172 * 40%)
Declined balance = $10,303 ($17,172 - $6,869)
Fifth year's depreciation expense = $4,303 ($10,303 - $6,000)
The Smith family wants to relocate to a neighborhood with better schools before their three-year-old goes to kindergarten. They talked with Byron about properties he has for sale in neighborhoods they would like to live in. They also mentioned to Byron that they both work and may need someone to help with in-home care for their child. Byron gave them Taylor’s name to call about childcare. The Smiths also said they were having a hard time getting loan approval, so Byron suggested that they call Travis. Which best describes the jobs performed by Byron, Taylor, and Travis?
a) Byron is a Customer Service Representative, Taylor is a Child Care Worker, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.
b) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.
c) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Preschool Teacher, and Travis is a Customer Service Representative.
d) Byron is a Home Counselor, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Property Manager.
Answer:
the correct answer is B)
Explanation:
Given that they spoke to Byron about properties that he wants to sell, that means he is a Real Estate Manager. Taylor came up because they needed in-home care. That makes Taylor a Nanny because Nannies are professionals who take care of babies in their own homes.
Loan counselors have no other major business besides advising people on issues relating to taking up a loan. Therefore that makes Travis a loan Counselor.

A bank loan officer has been approached by a start-up company that needs a five-year loan to purchase the equipment for its first project. The project will have a life of five years. At the end of five years, the equipment will be worthless. The founders of the company told the loan officer that they would be willing to pay a much higher interest rate on a simple interest loan rather than contracting to an add-on interest loan.
A. The loan officer should offer the company an add-on interest loan because there is a high risk that the company will not be able to repay the principal on the loan at the end of the project's life.
B. The loan officer should offer the company a simple interest loan. The bank will make more money in the long run, because it can charge a much higher interest rate.
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
add on interest loan is more frequently in case of sub prime borrowers.
Roland, Inc. provides residential painting services for three home building companies, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, and it uses a job costing system for determining the costs for completing each job. The job cost system does not capture any cost incurred by Roland for return touchups and refinishes after the homeowner occupies the home. Roland paints each house on a square footage contract price, which includes painting as well as all refinishes and touchups required after the homes are occupied. Each year, Roland generates about one-third of its total revenues and gross profits from each of the three builders. Roland has observed that the builders, however, require substantially different levels of support following the completion of jobs. The following data have been gathered:Major refinishes Hours on job $70
Touchups Number of visits $180
Communication Number of calls $20
Builder Major Refinishes Touchups Communication
Alpha 80 150 360
Beta 35 110 205
Gamma 42 115 190
(a) Assuming that each of the three customers produces gross profits of $100,000, calculate the profitability from each builder after taking into account the support activity required for each builder.

Suppose Dina gets a sales bonus at her place of work that gives her an extra $800 of disposable income. She chooses to spend $600 and save the remaining $200. From this, you can tell that Dina's marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is , and her marginal propensity to save (MPS) is . Mathematically, it must always be true that: Disposable Income = Therefore, it must also be true that: 1 =
Answer:
MPC = 0.75
MPS = 0.25
Disposable income = amount spent on consumption + amount saved
Marginal Propensity to Consume + Marginal Propensity to Save = 1
Explanation:
Marginal propensity to consume is the proportion of disposable income that is spent on consumption
Marginal propensity to consume = amount consumed / disposable income
Marginal propensity to save is the proportion of disposable income that is saved
Marginal propensity to save = amount saved / disposable income
MPC + MPS = 1
Disposable income = amount spent on consumption + amount saved
MPC = 600 / 800 = 0.75
MPS = 200 / 800 = 0.25
Sicilian Defence, a division of Queen's Gambit Corp., has a net operating income of $60,000 and average operating assets of $300,000. The minimum required rate of return for the company is 15%. If the manager of the Sicilian Defence division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $18,000 per year?
Answer:
Queen's Gambit Corp.
Sicilian Defence Division
If the manager of the Sicilian Defence division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $18,000 per year?
Yes.
The additional investment yields comparable positive Residual Income.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net operating income of Sicilian Defence Division = $60,000
Average operating assets = $300,000
Required rate of return for the company = 15%
Residual income (RI)= Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Required Rate of Return)
= $60,000 - ($300,000 * 15%)
= $60,000 - $45,000
= $15,000
Investment cost = $100,000
Additional net operating income = $18,000
Residual Income = $18,000 - ($100,000 * 15%)
= $18,000 - $15,000
= $3,000
Total residual income = $78,000 - ($400,000 * 15%)
= $78,000 - $60,000
= $18,000

n 1982 the inflation rate hit 16%. Suppose that the average cost of a textbook in 1982 was $25. What was the expected cost in the year 2017 if we project this rate of inflation on the cost? (Assume continuous compounding. Round your answer to the nearest cent.) If the average cost of a textbook in 2012 was $150, what is the actual inflation rate (rounded to the nearest tenth percent)?
Answer:
Total number of years = 35
a. Expected cost in 2017 = $25 * e^(35*0.16)
Expected cost in 2017 = $25 * e^5.6
Expected cost in 2017 = $25 * 270.42
Expected cost in 2017 = $6,760.50
b. If the average cost of a textbook in 2012 was $150, then the actual inflation rate:
150 = 25 * e^(r*t)
150 = 25 * e^(r*30)
6 = e^(r*30)
Taking log base e on both side
30r = Ln6
30r = 1.7918
r = 1.7918/30
r = 0.05972667
r = 5.97%
So, actual inflation rate is 5.97%
You do not start saving money until age 46. On your 46th birthday you dutifully invest $10,000 each year until you finish your deposits when you reach the age of 65 (you make the last deposit on your 65th birthday). The annual interest rate is 8% that you earn on your deposits. Your brother starts saving $10,000 a year on his 36th birthday but stops making deposits after 10 years. He then withdraws the compounded sum when he reaches age 65. How much more money will your brother have than you at age 65?
Answer:
$217,600
Explanation:
The computation of the more money is shown below:
As we know that
The Future value of the annuity is
= P × { (1+r)^n - 1} ÷ r
= $10,000 × (1+.08)^20 - 1) ÷ 0.08
= $457,619.64
For 36 years to 46 years,
FV = $10,000 × (1+.08)^10 - 1) ÷ 0.08
= $144,865.62
Now
FV = PV(1+r)^n
= $144,865.62× (1+.08)^20
= $675,212.47
Now the more amount would be
= $675,212.47 - $457,619.64
= $217592.83
= $217,600
Before negotiating a long-term construction contract, build- ing contractors must carefully estimate the total cost of completing the project. Benzion Barlev of New York University proposed a model for total cost of a long-term contract based on the normal distribution(Journal of Business Finance and Accounting, July 1995). For one particular construction contract, Barlev assumed total cost, x, to be normally distributed with mean $850,000 and standard deviation $170,000. The revenue, R, promised to the contractor is $1,00,000.
Required:
a. The contract will be profitable if revenue exceeds total cost. What is the probability that the co ntract will be profitable for the contractor?
b. What is the probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor?
c. Suppose the contractor has the opportunity to renegotiate the contract. What value of R should the contractor strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit?
Answer:
Benzion Barlev of New York UniversityNEGOTIATION OF A LONG-TERM CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
a. The probability that the contract will be profitable for the contractor is:
= 81%
b. The probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor is:
= 19%
c. The value of R that the contractor should strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit is:
= $1,246,100.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mean total cost (x) = $850,000
Standard deviation = $170,000
Revenue = $1,000,000
Probability of being profitable = (R - x)/std deviation
= ($1,000,000 - $850,000)/$170,000
= $150,000/$170,000
= 0.882
From Z table, 0.882 = 0.81057 = 81%
Probability of loss = 19% (100 - 81%)
To have a 99% (0.99) probability of making a profit, Z value = 2.33 from the Z table:
(R - x)/std deviation = 2.33
(R - x) = 2.33 * $170,000
= $396,100
(R - $850,000) = $396,100
R = $396,100 + $850,000
R = $1,246,100
Which of the following is a true statement?
(A) New products introduce risk into a portfolio as well as future potential profits.
(B) A company’s product portfolio is assured of success by adding new products.
(C) New products bring great rewards with little risk.
Answer:
I think it's C, New products bring great rewards with little risk
The correct option is (A) .As we know introducing a product is not that much fast and easy because it automatically contains greater risk in it.
What does the new product mainly contain?Introducing a new product is the most important component of a product portfolio. As it contains greater risk but it also contains greater rewards too.
How can we explain it with a help of an example?When a company launches new products it automatically contains the risk that if it would be opened in the market what would be the customer's reaction, whether a customer would like it or not. If the customer like the product risk would convert into a reward for the company and if not then it would get a loss to the company. This profit and loss to the company affect the portfolio the most.

V Boutique is a fashion house that designs, manufactures, and sells evening gowns. Their lowest-selling design is a vibrant green strapless gown in Dupioni silk. V Boutique is considering lowering the selling price of the gown to stimulate demand. However, before lowering the price, they must evaluate the total costs associated with the gown.
. Fabric and materials - $62/gown
. Labor to construct the gown - $40/gown
. Equipment cost for these gowns (steamer and sewing machines) $3,000
V Boutique anticipates selling 500 gowns after lowering the selling price. Assuming their projection is accurate, what is the total average cost they will incur per gown?
Answer:
V. Boutique
Assuming their projection of 500 gowns is accurate, the total average cost they will incur per gown is:
= $108.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Unit variable costs:
Fabric and materials per gown = $62
Labor cost per gown to construct the gown = $40
Total unit variable costs per gown = $102
Unit fixed costs:
Equipment cost = $3,000/500 $6
Total average costs per gown = $108
b) The average cost per gown equals the unit costs (variable costs per unit and the fixed costs per unit). V. Boutique incurs a total equipment cost of $3,000 for the 500 gowns. This means that each gown consumes $6 ($3,000/500) in equipment costs.
