Han Products manufactures 29,000 units of part S-6 each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part S-6 is:
Direct materials $3.70
Direct labor 12.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.30
Fixed manufacturing overhead 9.00
Total cost per part $27.00
An outside supplier has offered to sell 29,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $23 per part. If Han Products accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture part S-6 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $79,000. However, Han Products has determined that two-thirds of the fixed manufacturing overhead being applied to part S-6 would continue even if part S-6 were purchased from the outside supplier.
Required:
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the outside supplier’s offer?
Answer:
Financial advantage of accepting supplier's offer = $21,000
Explanation:
Relevant costs saved by outsourcing production:
Direct materials $3.70
Direct labor $12.00
Variable manufacturing overhead $2.30
Fixed manufacturing overhead $9.00 * 1/3 = $3
Total cost per part $21.00
Total savings per year = $21 * 29,000 = $609,000
Additional rental income = $79,000
Total = $688,000
Cost of purchasing 29,000 parts = $23 * 29,000 = $667,000
Financial advantage of accepting supplier's offer = $21,000

Dunbar sold 640 units of inventory during the month. Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost would be: (Round weighted-average unit cost to 4 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Answer:
$428.13
Explanation:
Note The missing word have been attached as picture below
Weighted average cost per unit = [(450*$2.18) + (370*$2.62)] / (450 + 370)
Weighted average cost per unit = ($981 + $969.4) / 820
Weighted average cost per unit = $1950.4 / 820
Weighted average cost per unit = 2.378536585365854
Weighted average cost per unit = $2.3785
Ending inventory unit = 450 + 370 - 640
Ending inventory unit = 180
Value of ending inventory = $2.3785 * 180 units
Value of ending inventory = $428.13
Tucker Company's Work in Process account decreased by $1,000, while its Finished Goods Inventory account increased by $500. Assuming total manufacturing costs were $5,000, what was the company's cost of goods sold amount?
Answer:
$5500.
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below:
Let us assume beginning WIP be $2000
So,
ending WIP is
= ($2000 - $1000)
= $1000
And,
Let us assume the beginning finished goods be $1000
So, the ending finished goods is
= ($1000 + $500)
= $1500
Now as we know that
Cost of goods manufactured = Total manufacturing cost + Beginning WIP - Ending WIP
= $5000 + $2000 - $1000
= $6000
Now
cost of goods sold=Cost of goods manufactured+Beginning finished goods-Ending finished goods
= $6000 + $1000 - $1500
=$5500.

Fruit Computer Company makes a fruit themed computer. Variable costs are $220 per unit, and fixed costs are $32,000 per month. Fruit Computer Company sells 500 units per month at a sales price of $300. The company believes that it can increase the price if the computer quality is upgraded. If so, the variable cost will increase to $240 per unit, and the fixed costs will rise by 50%. The CEO wishes to increase the company's operating income by 25%. Which sales price level would give the desired results
Answer:
Fruit Computer Company
The sales price level that would give the desired results is:
= $356 per unit
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Variable costs per unit = $220
Fixed costs per month = $32,000
Monthly sales units = 500 units
Selling price per unit = $300
Before Change After Change
Sales revenue $150,000 $178,000 ($168,000 + $10,000)
Variable costs 110,000 120,000
Fixed costs 32,000 48,000
Total costs $142,000 $168,000
Operating income $8,000 $10,000 ($8,000 * 1.25)
The sales price level that would give the desired results is $356 ($178,000/500). This represents an increase of 18.7% ($56/$300 * 100).
Suppose that a small family farm sold its output for $100,000 in a given year. The family spent $25,000 on fuel; $40,000 on seed, fertilizer, and pesticides; and $25,000 on equipment, including maintenance. The family members could have earned $20,000 working at other occupations. What is the family's accounting cost? What is the family's economic cost? Could the family's economic cost ever exceed its accounting cost? Why or why not?
Answer:
Accounting Cost
Accounting costs refers to the explicit costs which ar the actual costs related to the business venture. In this case that would be:
= Fuel costs + Seed costs + Equipment
= 25,000 + 40,000 + 25,000
= $90,000
Economic cost
This includes the accounting costs and then adds the implicit costs which are the opportunity costs of choosing the current business venture. In this case it is the $20,000 they could have been making working at other occupations.
= Accounting cost + Salary foregone
= 90,000 + 20,000
= $110,000
Economic costs will always be higher than Accounting costs because they include both the accounting costs and opportunity costs.

The Dominican Republic and Nicaragua both produce coffee and rum. The Dominican Republic can produce 25 thousand tons of coffee per year or 5 thousand barrels of rum. Nicaragua can produce 18 thousand tons of coffee per year or 3 thousand barrels of rum. Suppose the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua sign a trade agreement in which each country would specialize in the production of either coffee or rum.
RequireDd
a. Which country should specialize in coffee?
b. Which country should specialize in rum?
Answer:
a. Nicaragua
b, Dominican Republic
Explanation:
A country should specialise in the production of goods for which it has a comparative advantage in its production
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other countries.
The Dominican Republic
opportunity cost of producing rum = 25,000 / 5000 = 5
opportunity cost of producing coffee = 5000 / 25000 = 0.2
Nicaragua
opportunity cost of producing rum = 6
opportunity cost of producing coffee = 0.17
The Dominican Republic has a lower opportunity cost in the production of rum. It should specialise in the production of rum
Nicaragua has a lower opportunity cost in the production of coffee. It should specialise in the production of coffee

Say that Fed policy requires all banks to hold 8% of deposits in reserves. If Ventura Bank does not hold any excess reserves and the Fed increases the reserve requirement to 10%, what will be the result
Answer:
the money supply decreases
Explanation:
Reserve ratio is the percentage of deposits that is required of commercial banks to keep as reserves. The higher the ratio, the lower the money supply
For example, assume reserve ratio is initially 8% of deposits. It is later reduced to 10%. 1000 is deposited
Increase in money supply = deposit / reserve ratio
1000 / 0.08 = 12,500
1000 / 0.1 = 10,000
It can be seen the money supply decreased when reserve ratio was increased from 8% to 10%

If Marjorie makes an investment of principal, and leaves the full amount, both principal and interest in the account to some time in the future when she withdraws all funds, she is earning what type of interest
Answer: Compounding
Explanation:
Based on the information given, we can infer that Marjorie earns a compounding interest. The compound interest is the interest on a loan that is calculated based on the initial principal as well as the interest that is accumulated from the previous periods. In compounding interest, the interest is earned on the principal and the interest amount. The compounding interest is also referred to as the interest on interest.
U.S. real gross domestic product changed from $14.6 trillion in 2006 to $14.4 trillion in 2009. During that same time period, the share of manufactured goods (e.g., cars, appliances) of U.S. real gross domestic product was 12.8 percent in 2006 and 12.0 percent in 2009. What was the dollar value of manufactured output Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. a. In 2006
Answer:
Missing word "b. In 2009"
a. Dollar value (2006) = Real GDP (2006) * Share of manufacturing goods (2006) / 100
Dollar value (2006) = 14.6 * 12.8 / 100
Dollar value (2006) = 186.88 / 100
Dollar value (2006) = $1.8688 trillion
Dollar value (2006) = $1.87 trillion
Thus, the dollar value of manufactured output in 2006 is $1.9 trillion
b. Dollar value (2009) = Real GDP (2009) * Share of manufacturing goods (2009) / 100
Dollar value (2009) = 14.4 * 12.0 / 100
Dollar value (2009) = 172.8 / 100
Dollar value (2009) = $1.728 trillion
Dollar value (2009) = $1.73 trillion
Thus, the dollar value of manufactured output in 2009 is $1.7 trillion
When you retire, you wish to have $3 million in your retirement account. You decided to add $2,000 every quarter to your retirement account and invest to generate annualized return of 8% from your investment, how many years do you think it will take to have $3 million in the account
Answer:
43.35 years
Explanation:
Use the following formula to determine the number of years
Future Value of Annuity = Periodic Annuity x ( 1 + Periodic Interest rate )^numbers of periods ) - 1 / Periodic Interest rate
Where
Future Value of Annuity = $3 million = $3,000,000
Periodic Annuity = $2,000 per quarter
Periodic Interest rate = Interest rate x Quarterly fraction = 8% x 3/12 = 2%
Numbers of periods = n = ?
Placing values in the formula
$3,000,000 = $2,000 x ( 1 + 2% )^n ) - 1 / 2%
$3,000,000 / $2,000 = ( 1 + 2% )^n ) - 1 / 2%
1,500 = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1 / 2%
1,500 x 2% = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1
30 = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1
30 + 1 = 1.02^n
31 = 1.02^n
Log 31 = n log 1.02
n = Log 31 / Log1.02
n = 173.41
Now calculat ethe nUmbers of years as follow
Numbers of years = n x 3/12
Numbers of years = 173.41 x 3/12
Numbers of years = 43.35 years
Evaluate whether all of the following are considered to be investment (I) in calculating GDP.
a. The purchase of a new automobile for private, non-business use
b. The purchase of a new house
c. The purchase of corporate bonds
Answer:
only the purchase of a new house would be considered investment spending of the three options
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :
spending on durables - e.g. laptop
spending on nondurables - e.g. clothes, food
spending on services - e.g. payment of hospital bill
the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods
Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services
Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment. The purchase of a new limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure
The purchase of a new automobile for private, non-business use is an example of consumption spending on durables
The purchase of a new house is an example of investment spending
The purchase of corporate bonds is not included in the calculation of GDP
Tri-County G&T sells 145,000 MWh per year of electrical power to Boulder at $ per MWh, has fixed costs of $ million per year, and has variable costs of $ per MWh. If Tri-County has MWh of demand from its customers (other than Boulder), what will Tri-County have to charge to break even?
Answer:
$105.85
Explanation:
Given that :
Fixed cost = $83.1 million
Variable cost = $30 / MWh
Number of demand, $1,000,000 MWh
Variable cost to other customers =[(1,000,000 + 145000) * $30) = $34350000
To break even :
Total Cost = Total revenue
(fixed Cost + variable cost) = total revenue
Let amount per MWh required to break even = x (amount sold to other customers)
(83100000 + 34350000) = (145000*80 + 1000000x)
117450000 = 11600000 + 1000000x
117450000 - 11600000 = 1000000x
105850000 = 1000000x
x = 105850000 / 1000000
x = $105.85

a)What are the expected returns and standard deviations of a portfolio consisting of:1.100 percent in stock A
Answer:
12%
1.00
Explanation:
Note that the expected return on stock A which is 12% is missing from the question as well as the standard deviation of A which is 1.00
The expected return from stock A with 100% of funds(total amount of investment) invested in stock A is the percentage invested in A multiplied by the expected return of stock A shown thus:
expected return=100%*12%
portfolio expected return=12%
portfolio standard deviation(if 100% invested in A)=1.00*100%
Suppose you buy some stock in the Alpha Corporation at a price of $45.95 per share. 410 days later you sell the stock for $48.27. During this period you received a per share dividend of $1.20. What is your annualized return on this investment
Answer: 6.79%
Explanation:
The holding period return is:
= (Current price - Cost price + Dividend) / Cost price
= (48.27 - 45.95 + 1.20) / 45.95
= 7.66%
The annualized return is:
= ( ( 1 + holding period return) ^ number of days in a year/ number of days stock was held - 1)
= ( ( 1 + 7.66%) ³⁶⁵ / ⁴¹⁰ - 1)
= 6.79%
