Answer:
Total allocated costs= $53,070
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates using the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Quality control= 77,000 / 1,100 = $70 per inspection
Machine operation= 153,000 / 1,500 = $102 per machine hour
Materials handling= 1,200 / 30 = $40 per batch
Miscellaneous overhead cost= 57,000 / 5,700= $10 per labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Quality control= 70*295= 20,650
Machine operation= 102*240= 24,480
Materials handling= 40*6= 240
Miscellaneous overhead cost= 10*770= 7,700
Total allocated costs= $53,070
Walnut has forecast sales for the next three months as follows: July 4,900 units, August 6,900 units, September 8,000 units. Walnut's policy is to have an ending inventory of 50% of the next month's sales needs on hand. July 1 inventory is projected to be 2,200 units. Selling and administrative costs are budgeted to be $20,000 per month plus $9 per unit sold. What are budgeted selling and administrative expenses for July
Answer:
the budgeted selling and administrative expenses for July is $64,100
Explanation:
The computation of the budgeted selling and administrative expenses for July is shown below:
= Budgeted selling & admin cost + (per unit sold × July units)
= $20,000 + ($9 × 4,900 units)
= $20,000 + $44,100
= $64,100
hence, the budgeted selling and administrative expenses for July is $64,100
We simply applied the above formula
Bengal Co. provides the following unit sales forecast for the next three months: July August September Sales units 5,800 6,500 6,360 The company wants to end each month with ending finished goods inventory equal to 30% of the next month's sales. Finished goods inventory on June 30 is 1,740 units. The budgeted production units for July are:
Answer:
Production= 6,010
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
July August
Sales units 5,800 6,500
Finished goods inventory on June 30 is 1,740 units.
To calculate the production for July, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 5,800 + (6,500*0.3) - 1,740
Production= 6,010
Suppose that a worker in Radioland can produce either 5 radios or 1 television per year, and a worker in Teeveeland can produce either 1 radios or 5 televisions per year. Each nation has 100 workers. Also, suppose that each country completely specializes in producing the good in which it has a comparative advantage. If Radioland trades 50 radios to Teeveeland in exchange for 50 televisions each year, then each country's maximum consumption of new radios and televisions per year will be
Answer:
450 radios 50 televisions in radioland and 50 radios 450 televisions in Teeveeland.
Explanation:
In radioland 5 radios are equivalent to one television. Then 1 radio will be equivalent to 0.2 of television. The opportunity cost for each radio is 0.2. In teeveeland the cost of 1 radio is 5 televisions. Hence radioland has comparative advantage in producing radios and Teeveeland has comparative advantage is producing televisions.
Q 10.7: Melbee Farms is considering purchasing a new combine that would help them finish their harvesting faster, thus allowing them to pick up extra revenue by doing custom combining for other farmers. The combine and headers cost $487,000. They expect to have net cash flows of $157,000 in year 1, $182,000 in year 2, $202,000 in year 3, and $213,000 in year 4. If they discount the cash flows by 7%, what is the discounted payback period for the combine
Answer:
Discounted payback period= 3 years 1 month
Explanation:
The discounted payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes the present value of net cash inflow from a project to equate the net cash the initial cost
To work out the discounted payback period, we will compute present value of the cash inflow and then determine how long it will take for the sum to be equal to the initial cost. This is done as follows:
Year Cash flow DF Present value
0 487,000 × 1 = (487,000)
1 157,000 × 1.07^(-1) = 146,729.0
2 182,000 × 1.07^(-2) = 158965.8
3 202,000 × 1.07^(-3) = 164,892.2
4 213,000 × 1.07^(-4) =162,496.7
Total PV for 2 years = 146729 +158965+164892= 470587.0
Balance of cash flow remaining to equal = 487,000-470587 = 16413.0
Discounted payback period = 3 years + 16413.0 /162,496.7 × 12 months
= 3year , 1.2months
Discounted payback period= 3 years 1 month

Natchez, Inc. is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $200,000. The company will incur $5,000 per year in cash operating expenses but it will allow the company to earn an additional $100,000 per year in revenues. Natchez expects the machine to provide future benefits for 3 years and salvage value at the end of the 3-year period to be $10,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation method. The income tax rate is 30%. If the required rate of return is 10%, how much is the net present value of this project
Answer:
$20,138.74
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
To determine cash flow, use this formula
Cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(200,000 - 10,000) / 3 = 63,333
(100,000 - 5000 - 63,333) x ( 1 - 0.3) + 63,333 = 85499.90
Cash flow in year 0 = $-200,000
Cash flow in year 1 = 85499.90
Cash flow in year 2 = 85499.90
Cash flow in year 3 = 85499.90 + 10,000 = 95,499.90
I = 10
NPV = $20,138.74
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Carlos transfers property with a tax basis of $750 and a fair market value of $1,200 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $975 and $75 cash in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $150 on the property transferred. What is the corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange
Answer:
$975
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the Corporation's Tax basis in the property received in exchange
Corporation's Tax basis = Tax basis of Property transferred + Gain recognized
Where
Tax basis of Property transferred = $750
Gain recognized = 975 - $750 = $225
Placing values in the formula
Corporation's Tax basis = $750 + $225
Corporation's Tax basis = $975

Find the final amount in the following retirement account, in which the rate of return on the account and the regular contribution change over time. $322 per month invested at 4%, compounded monthly, for 5 years; then 440$ per month invested at 5%, compounded monthly, for 5 years.
Answer:
Total value of the investment= $57,320.73
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the future value of the first part of the investment. We will calculate the future value for the monthly deposit for five years and then the lump sum for another five years.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
i= 0.04/12= 0.003333
n= 5*12= 60 months
FV= {322*[(1.003333^60) - 1]} / 0.003333
FV= $21,348.05
For the lump sum:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
n= 12*5= 60
i= 0.05/12= 0.004167
FV= 21,348.05*(1.004167^60)
FV= $27,397.75
Now, the future value of the second part of the investment:
n= 60
i= 0.0041667
A= 440
FV= {440*[(1.004167^60) - 1]} / 0.004167
FV= $29,922.98
Total value of the investment= 27,397.75 + 29,922.98
Total value of the investment= $57,320.73

Charges (130 ÷ (25 × 49) 0.106 per gallon
Special Storage $0.59 per gallon
Total Cost $5.942 per gallon
Hence, the standard price for a gallon of Solvate is $5,942 per gallon
You are the manager of a monopoly that faces a demand curve described by P = 63 − 5Q. Your costs are C = 10 + 3Q. The profit-maximizing output for your firm is:
Answer:
Profit-maximizing output = 6 units
Explanation:
Given:
Demand curve = P = 63 − 5Q
Cost C = 10 + 3Q
Find:
Profit-maximizing output
Computation:
In monopoly maximum profit stand where;
MR = MC
So,
TR = P x Q
TR = (63 - 5q)Q
TR = 63Q - 5Q²
MR = d(TR) / dQ
So,
MR = d[63Q - 5Q²] / dQ
MR = 63 - 10Q
MC = dC / dQ
MC = d(10+3Q) / dQ
MC = 3
So,
Profit-maximizing output
MR = MC
63 - 10Q = 3

Mission Corp. borrowed $50,000 cash on April 1, 2019, and signed a one-year 12%, interest-bearing note payable. The interest and principal are both due on March 31, 2020. Assume that the appropriate adjusting entry was made on December 31, 2019 and that no adjusting entries have been made during 2020. How much interest expense should Mission Corp. record on March 31, 2020?
Answer:
The amount of interest expense that Mission Corp. should record on March 31, 2020 is $1,500.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Monthly interest expense = (Amount borrowed * Interest rate) / Number of months in a year = ($50,000 * 12%) / 12 = $500
Remaining number of months = Number of months from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020 = 3
Interest expense to record on March 31, 2020 = Monthly interest expense * Remaining number of months = $500 * 3 = $1,500
Suppose that the global crude oil price has risen due to refinery breakdowns caused by middle-east politics and warfare. Crude oil is an input in the gasoline production. At the same time, the demand for driving and, therefore, the demand for gasoline has also risen in the United States. You can accurately predict that the domestic price of gasoline is:_______
Answer:
"Definitely increase" is the correct approach.
Explanation:
As fuel demand rises, consumption exceeds the amount, as manufacturers are unable to cope with either the surge in demand whenever the profit margin is still rising.We could perhaps state precisely that consumption overtakes the output of petrol or the curve of availability to that same right as well as would therefore be at that same greater degree.Thus the above is the correct answer.

The financial staff of Cairn Communications has identified the following information for the first year of the roll-out of its new proposed service: Projected sales $24 million Operating costs (not including depreciation) $9 million Depreciation $5 million Interest expense $4 million The company faces a 25% tax rate. What is the project's operating cash flow for the first year (t = 1)? Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as $1,200,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer: $12,500,000
Explanation:
Sales = $24,000,000
Less: Operating cost = $9,000,000
Less,l: Depreciation = $5,000,000
Earning before interest and tax = $10,000,000
Less: Tax at 25% EBIT = $2,500,000
Net income before interest = $7,500,000
Add: Depreciation = $5,000,000
Operating cashflow = $12,500,000
Suppose that Nevada Co., a US-based MNC, makes regular, monthly purchases of materials from a German supplier named Spicurity. These regular payments are typically in the amount of 300,000 euros. Last month the exchange rate was $1.93 per euro. Nevada Co. only has cash reserves in dollars, while Spicurity only has cash reserves in euros. Suppose both companies use the same bank.
In order to conduct this transaction last month, Nevada Co.
Required:
a. $_____ to pay for the materials. Thus, the bank handling the transaction reduced Nevada’s account by this amount, denominated in
b. __________( euros OR dollars). The bank then converted this amount to c. ___________ d. ________________( euros OR dollars). and credited it to Spicurity’s account.
Answer:
In order to conduct this transaction last month, Nevada Co.
Required:
a. $_579,000____ to pay for the materials. Thus, the bank handling the transaction reduced Nevada’s account by this amount, denominated in
b. __dollars___( euros OR dollars). The bank then converted this amount to c. ___euros________ from d. ______dollars_____( euros OR dollars). and credited it to Spicurity’s account.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Importer = Nevada Co., a US-based MNC
Exporter = Spicurity, a German supplier
Amount of regular payments = 300,000 euros
Exchange rate = $1.93 per euro
Amount in dollars = $579,000 (300,000 euros * $1.93)
b) To convert to dollars from euro, when the exchange rate is $1.93 per euro, we multiply the euro-based amount by the exchange rate. To convert the dollars to the euro, we divide by the exchange rate. To multiply or divide depends on which currency has a higher value (e.g. euro vs dollars).
Jerryworld, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in Dallas to produce footballs. The company bought some land six years ago for $5.2 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $4.6 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $10.4 million to build, and the site requires $840,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project
Answer:
the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets is $15,840,000
Explanation:
The computation of the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets is shown below:
= (Net amount + cost of the plant + grading cost)
= ($4.6 million + $10.4 million + $0.84 million )
= $15,840,000
Hence, the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets is $15,840,000
