Answer: 20%
Explanation:
Using the midpoint formula, the denominator is an average of the beginning and ending figures;
= [tex]\frac{Q2 - Q1}{Q2 + Q1 /2 } * 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{110 - 90}{(110 + 90)/2} * 100[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{20}{100} * 100[/tex]
= 20%

In that month, 75,000 pounds of clay were purchased and used at the total cost of $162,000 Read the requirementsLOADING.... Requirement 1. Calculate the direct material price variance. Begin by determining the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for the direct materials. (Enter the variance as a positive number. Enter currency amounts in the formula to the nearest cent and then round the final variance amount to the nearest whole dollar. Label the variance as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials)
Answer:
1. $3,000 Favorable
2. $6,600 Unfavorable.
Explanation:
This is an incomplete question. However, the completed part is question number 2, which has been solved below.
1. Direct material price variance
= (Actual price - Standard price) Actual quantity
= ($2.16 - $2.20) × 75,000
= -$0.04 × 75,000
= $3,000 Favorable
Note: Actual price is gotten by; $162,000 / 75,000
= $2.16
2. Direct material quantity variance
= (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) × Standard price
= (75,000 - $72,000) × $2.20
= 3,000 × $2.20
= $6,600 Unfavorable
Note: Standard quantity is gotten by;
24 × 3,000
= 72,000
You are the manager of a firm that produces goods X and Y. Your rm receives revenues of $40,000 per year from product X and $90,000 per year from product Y. The price elasticity of demand for product X is |-0.75| and the cross price elasticity of demand between product Y and X is -1.7.
Required:
How much will your firm's total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 2 percent?
Answer:
price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity / % change in price
-0.75 = % change in quantity / 2%
-1.5 = % change in quantity
lets assume that 1,000 units of X were sold at $40 each, total revenue = $40,000
new total revenue = 985 x $40.80 = $40,188
revenue generated by good X will increase by 0.47%, from $40,000 to $40,188
price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity of Y / % change in price of X
-1.7 = % change quantity of Y / 2%
-3.4% = % change quantity of Y
lets assume that 1,000 units of Y were sold at $90 each, total revenue = $90,000
new total revenue = 966 x $91.80 = $88,678.80
revenue generated by good Y will decrease by -1.47%, from $90,000 to $88,678.80

If Konrad Corporation uses the units of production method of depreciation, what will be the debit to Depreciation Expense for the year ended December 31, 2020, assuming that during this period, the asset was used hours?
The question is incomplete. The complete question is,
On January 2, 2019, Konrad Corporation acquired equipment for $500,000. The estimated life of the equipment is 5 years or 18,000 hours. The estimated residual value is $14,000. If Konrad Corporation uses the units of production method of depreciation, what will be the debit to Depreciation Expense for the year ended December 31, 2020, assuming that during this period, the asset was used 6,000 hours?
A. $166,667
B. $97,200
C. $162,000
D. $171,333
Answer:
The depreciation expense for the year is $162000. Thus, option C is the correct answer
Explanation:
The depreciation expense is the systematic allocation of the cost of the asset over its estimated useful life. The depreciation can be calculated using various methods. Under the units of production method, the depreciation expense for the period is calculated using the following formula,
Depreciation expense = [(Cost - Residual value) / Total estimated production units] * Units produced in a particular period
Depreciation expense = [(500000 - 14000) / 18000] * 6000
Depreciation expense = $162000
Interest rates can be measured more accurately and quickly than reserve aggregates; hence an interest rate is preferred to the reserve aggregates as a policy instrument.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
This is false.
In reporting reserves aggregate there are lags interest rate such as the federal interest rate are quite easy to measure and easily observable. Such short term interest rate are nominal values and they do not measure the real cost of borrowing well. It does not show accurately what happens to Gross domestic product. Real interest rate equals nominal interest rate as a ratio of reduced inflation gives a representation of true cost of borrowing.
We cannot say with certainty that interests rate is a better policy instrument based on the ground of measurability.
Some 150 million customers a month visit Amazon and the company passes through $160 billion in sales via its global supply channels and partnerships making interorganizational relationships very important to the company. Which interacting organization has a low coordination, low integration, transactional focus
Answer with Explanation:
Amazon is fastest growing company in the world which has crossed 2 billion customer visits. It has also increased the worth of the company to $1.14 trillions. The supply chain management is where the strengths of the company lies and nobody can match the pricing strategy, quality management and other significant factors that are included in the supply chain management to ensure that the customer is having what they are paying for.
Supply chain management process includes the key partners which includes their suppliers, partners, clients and customers as well who play important roles in the supply chain process by coordinating, integrating systems with each other and are involved in the transaction-al process.
The customers are the one who interact fewer than partners, suppliers, clients, etc because all they do is order a particular product. This is the first interaction of the customer with Amazon and the last interaction is when the customer received the order. So this means they are less interacting party in this process.
Suppliers are continuously contacted and informed about the pricing, supply chain issues, etc so that the company is able to deliver its customers what they are desiring. Supply chain partners also in the process of interacting with Amazon as they have to move products from supplier to the customer. These partners are highly interacted, possess integrating systems and of transaction-al importance to the company.
Assume that your parents wanted to have a 170,000 saved for college by your 18th birthday and they started saving on your first birthday. They saved the same amount each year on your birthday and earned 6.5% per year on their investmenets.Required:a. How much would they have to save each year to reach their goal?b. If they think you will take five years instead of four to graduate to graduate and decide to have $140,000 saved just in case, how much more would they have to save each year to reach their new goal?
Answer:
a. They will have to save $5,245.28 each year to reach their goal of $170,000.
b. They will have to save $925.63 less to reach their new goal of $140,000.
Note: The answer to part b is based on the information in the question. Therefore, the correct answer is "they will have to save $925.63 less" not "save more" as suggested in the question. Kindly confirm this from your teacher.
Explanation:
a. How much would they have to save each year to reach their goal?
Since the saving started on your first birthday to have $170,000 saved, it implies the saving will be on your every birthday for 18 years. Therefore, the relevant formula to use to determine this is the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r} ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value of the amount after your 18th birthday = $170,000
M = Yearly saving to have $170,000 = ?
r = interest rate = 6.5%, 0.065
n = number of years this savings will be made = 18
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:
$170,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.065)^18 - 1] / 0.065}
$170,000 = M * 32.4100673759666
M = $170,000 / 32.4100673759666
M = $5,245.28
Therefore, they will have to save $5,245.28 each year to reach their goal of $170,000.
b. If they think you will take five years instead of four to graduate to graduate and decide to have $140,000 saved just in case, how much more would they have to save each year to reach their new goal?
First, we have to calculate how much they will save each year, by also using the Future Value (FV) for calculating an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FVn = Mn * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r} ................................. (1)
Where,
FV1 = New future value of the amount after your 18th birthday = $140,000
M1 = New yearly saving to have $140,000 = ?
r = interest rate = 6.5%, 0.065
n = number of years this savings will be made = 18
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M1, we have:
$140,000 = M1 * {[(1 + 0.065)^18 - 1] / 0.065}
$140,000 = M1 * 32.4100673759666
M1 = $140,000 / 32.4100673759666
M1 = $4,319.65
Therefore, they will have to save $4,319.65 each year to reach their goal of $140,000.
To obtain difference in yearly savings, we have:
Difference in yealy saving = M - M1 = $5,245.28 - $4,319.65 = $925.63
Since $5,245.28 each year to reach their goal of $170,000 is greater than $4,319.65 each year to reach their goal of $140,000, it therefore implies that they will have to save $925.63 less to reach their new goal of $140,000.
Pizza sells an average of pizzas per week, of which % are single-topping pizzas and % are supreme pizzas with multiple toppings. Singles sell for each and incur variable costs of . Supremes sell for each and incur variable costs of . The contribution margin per unit and total contribution margin for Singles and Supremes are
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar question:
"Pizza sells an average of 150 pizzas per week, of which 20% are single-topping pizzas and 80% are supreme pizzas with multiple toppings. Singles sell for $8 each and incur variable costs of $2. Supremes sell for $12 each and incur variable costs of $6."
contribution margin for Singles = $8 - $2 = $6
contribution margin ratio for Singles = $6 / $8 = 75%
total contribution margin for Singles = $6 x 150 x 20% = $180
contribution margin for Supremes = $12 - $6 = $6
contribution margin ratio for Supremes = $6 / $12 = 50%
total contribution margin for Supremes = $6 x 150 x 80% = $720
Tax Services prepares tax returns for senior citizens. The standard in terms of (direct labor) time spent on each return is hours. The direct labor standard wage rate at the firm is per hour. Last month, direct labor hours were used to prepare tax returns. Total wages were .
Answer:
Tax Services
Total wages were:
= hourly wage rate * total hours spent on returns for the month
For example, if the hourly wage rate is $50 and the total hours spent on the returns equal 560 hours, the total wages will be equal to $28,000 ($50 x 560).
Explanation:
The Tax Services' total wages will be equal to the hourly wage rate multiplied by the total hours spent on returns during the month. The total hours spent on the returns for the month is obtained by adding up the hours spent on all the returns. The total wages depend on the hours worked and the standard wage rate that has been established in the firm.

Question 59 of 83 Project M requires an initial investment of $25 million. The project is expected to generate $2.25 million in after-tax cash flow each year forever. Calculate the IRR for the project. 10% 9% 8% 7%
Answer:
9%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) for a project that yields cash flows perpetually, we need to divide the yearly cash flow by the project's initial outlay:
IRR = $2,250,000 / $25,000,000 = 0.09 = 9%
The IRR represents the discount rate at which the project's net present value (NPV) equals 0.

Exercise 10-1 Recording bond issuance and interest LO P1 On January 1, 2017, Boston Enterprises issues bonds that have a $3,400,000 par value, mature in 20 years, and pay 9% interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds are sold at par. 1. How much interest will Boston pay (in cash) to the bondholders every six months
Answer:
Semi-annual interest payment=$153,000
Explanation:
The interest payment on the bond is an expense which would be incurred twice a year because the terms and conditions of the bond contract is that interest be paid semi-annually, that is every six month.
This implies that we would need to work out the interest rate applicable for every six month. This is doe as follows:
Semi-annual interest rate = Annual interest rate / 2
Annual interest rate = 9%
Semi-annual interest rate = 9%/2= 4.5%
Semi-annual interest payment = Interest rate × Nominal value of Bond
Semi-annual interest payment = 4.5% × $3,400,000=$153,000
Semi-annual interest payment= $153,000

Direct materials $ 5.00 Direct labor 9.00 Overhead 10.00 Total costs per unit 24.00 Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 70% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 55,000 units of RX5 for $20.00 per unit. Required: 1. Calculate the incremental costs of making and buying component RX5.
Answer:
If the company makes the component, $165,000 will be saved.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units production= 55,000 units
Production costs:
Direct materials $5
Direct labor $9
Avoidable Overhead= 3
Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable.
An outside supplier has offered to supply the 55,000 units of RX5 for $20.00 per unit.
We need to determine the total cost of making in-house and buying.
We will take into account only the variable cost (avoidable cost).
Make in-house:
Total cost= 55,000*(5 + 9 + 3)= $935,000
Buy:
Total cost= 55,000*20= $1,100,000
If the company makes the component, $165,000 will be saved.
Portia Grant is an employee who is paid monthly. For the month of January of the current year, she earned a total of 8,588. The FICA tax for social security is 6.2% of the first $118,500 of employee earnings each calendar year and the FICA tax rate for Medicare is 1.45% of all earnings. The FUTA tax rate of 0.6% and the SUTA tax rate of 5.4% are applied to the first $7,000 of an employee's pay. The amount of federal income tax withheld from her earnings was $1,424.97. Her net pay for the month is: (Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)
a) $7,038.50
b) $5,141.03
c) $6,072.04
d) $6,566.00
e) $6,506.04
Answer: e) $6,506.04
Explanation:
Employees do not pay FUTA or SUTA. Employers pay those.
Ms. Grant's net pay for the month therefore is;
= Gross earnings - FICA Social Security - FICA Medicare - Federal Income tax withheld
= 8,588 - (6.2% * 8,588) - ( 1.45% * 8,588) - 1,424.97
= 8,588 - 532.46 - 124.53 - 1,424.97
= $6,506.04

Explanation:
The treasurer of Riley Coal Co. is asked to compute the cost of fixed income securities for her corporation. Even before making the calculations, she assumes the aftertax cost of debt is at least 3 percent less than that for preferred stock.
Debt can be issued at a yield of 11.0 percent, and the corporate tax rate is 20 percent. Preferred stock will be priced at $60 and pay a dividend of $6.40. The flotation cost on the preferred stock is $6.
a. Compute the aftertax cost of debt. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
b. Compute the aftertax cost of preferred stock. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
c. Based on the facts given above, is the treasurer correct?
Answer:
a. Compute the after tax cost of debt.
after tax cost of debt = 11% x (1 - tax rate) = 11% x 0.8 = 8.8%
b. Compute the after tax cost of preferred stock.
after tax cost of preferred stock = cost of preferred stock (no taxes are deducted for paying preferred dividends since they are paid in capital)
