Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable overhead 0.2 hours $ 5.10 per hour

The company used 1,660 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $7,802.

To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Actual rate= 7,802/1,660= $4.7

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (5.1 - 4.7)*1,660

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable

According to the World Banks's world development indicators, real gross domestic product (GDP) in sub-Saharan Africa in 2015 was about $1.65 trillion . What percentage of sub-Saharan Africa's real GDP is the E.U. emergency trust fund

Answers

Answer:

0.12%

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP is shown below:-

E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP is

= (Amount of Plans ÷ Real gross domestic product) × 100

= (2 billion ÷ 1.65 trillion) × 100

= 0.12%

Therefore for computing the E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP we simply applied the above formula.

assume that autonomous consumption is $1610 billion and disposable income is $11,200 billion. Using the consumption function, calculate consumption expenditure

Answers

Answer:  $9,226

Explanation;

The consumption function is;

Consumption = Autonomous consumption + (Marginal Propensity to consume * Disposable income)

Marginal Propensity to Consume;

=Increase in consumption expenditure/  Increase in Disposable income

= 680/1,000

= 0.68

Consumption = Autonomous consumption + (Marginal Propensity to consume * Disposable income)

= 1,610 + ( 0.68 * 11,200)

= $9,226

Trevor Company discloses supplementary operating segment information for its three reportable segments. Data for 20X8 are available as follows:

Segment A Segment B Segment C

Sales $500,000 $300,000 $200,000
Traceable operating expenses 250,000 120,000 90,000

Allocable costs for the year was $180,000. Allocable costs are assigned based on the ratio of a segment's income before allocable costs to total income before allocable costs. The 20X8 operating profit for Segment B was:

a. $180,000
b. $120,000
c. $126,000
d. $110,000

Answers

Answer:

Operating profit of segment B = $180,000

Explanation:

The allowable cost to any of the segment would be equal to the proportion that the segment income bears to the overall total income multiplied by the allocable cost.

Mathematically, we can use the realationship below:

Allocable cost to Segment B = Sales of segment B/Total sales × Alllocable cost

Allowable cost = 180,000

Total sales = 250,000+ 120,000 + 90,000 = 460,000

Allocable cost to B = (120,000/460,000) × 180,000 =  46,956.52  

Allocable cost to segment B =$46,956.52  

However,the question required us to determine operation profit.

Operating profit is the excess of sales revenue over operating expenses

Operating profit of segment B-= 200,000 - 90,000 = 180,000

Operating profit of segment B = $180,000

ABC paid $2,000 interest on short-term notes payable, $10,000 interest on long-term bonds, and $6,000 in dividends on its common stock. ABC would report cash outflows from activities, as follows:
A) Operating, $12,000; Financing $6,000.
B) Operating, $0; Financing $18,000.
C) Operating, $18,000; Financing $0.
D) Operating, $2,000; Financing $16,000.

Answers

Answer: A) Operating, $12,000; Financing $6,000.

Explanation:

Operating Activities deal with the cashflow related to the operations of the business and it's short term obligations. Interest payments on loans are short term and are considered part of normal business operations so the outflow from Operating activities is;

= $2,000 interest on short-term notes payable + $10,000 interest on long-term bonds

= $12,000

Financing Activities relate to cash-flow surrounding the capital of the firm. This includes Equity and long term debt. Dividends have the impact of reducing equity and so will fall under Financing activities.

Dividends = Financing = $6,000

"In using the net present value approach, a project is acceptable if the project's net present value is ____________ or_______________."

Answers

Answer:

Zero or Positive.

Explanation:

The project should be accepted if the NPV (net present value) is “zero” or “positive” because the zero value means that the project will not be in loss. However, the positive value shows that the project will give profit. But if there is a negative value of net present value then it reflects that the project is giving a loss. Therefore, the project with negative NPV must be rejected. And the project that has zero net present value or positive net present value should be accepted.

Kathy and Annise are a married couple who file jointly. In the current year, they have net ordinary income of $10,000 from a partnership interest in which they do not materially participate. They also have a net loss of $30,000 from a rent house in which they actively participate. Their adjusted gross income (AGI) exclusive of these investments is $120,000. What is their AGI after taking into account these investments

Answers

Answer:

$100,000

Explanation:

As Kathy and Annise are a married couple who file jointly, their revised AGI can be calculated by deducting a net loss from the adjusted gross income.

DATA

Current AGI = $120,000

Rental loss = $30,000

Partnership gain = $10,000

Revised AGI = Current AGI - Net loss

Revised AGI = 120,000 – 20,000(w)

Revised AGI = 100,000

Working

Net loss = Rental loss – partnership gain

Net loss = $30,000 - $10,000

Net loss = $20,000

NOTE: Kathy and Annise can deduct 20,000 loss against other income as they materially participate in rental activities.

b. will reduce the excess supply of labor.

c. is an example of the benefits of a minimum-wage law.

d. All of the above are correct.

Answer:

a. might increase profits if it attracts a better pool of workers to apply for jobs.

Explanation:

Emeril is the owner of a restaurant. He decides to raise the wages of his workers even though he faces an excess supply of labor. His decision might increase profits if it attracts a better pool of workers to apply for jobs.

An excess supply of labor refers to the situation where there are too many number of people working in an organization at a particular period of time.

However, Emeril's decision to raise the wages of his workers might increase profits if he's able to recruit better pool of workers who will be willing and able to work more hours effectively and efficiently. As a result, this would help to boost the level of production and increase the rate at which the consumer's needs or wants are meet.

Answers

Answer:

1. What is the actual cost per gram of the special alloy that World Class Rings purchased last month? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) The actual cost per gram of the special alloy that World Class Rings purchased last month is $_____.

= $1,061,760 / 16,800 grams = $63.20 per gram

2. What is the direct material price variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Begin by determining the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for direct materials.

direct materials price variance = (AP - SP) x AQ = ($63.20 - $63.30) x 16,300 = -$1,630 favorable variance

3.·What is the direct material quantity variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Determine the formula for the quantity variance, then compute the quantity variance for direct materials.

direct materials quantity variance = SP x (AQ - SQ) = $63.30 x (16,300 - 16,000) = $18,990 unfavorable variance

4. How might the direct material price variance for the company last month be causing the direct material quantity variance?

The FAVORABLE direct material price variance might mean that World Class Rings purchased a LOWER QUALITY MATERIAL. As a result, the company USED MORE ALLOW THAN STANDARD  quantity (efficiency) variance alloy than the standard allows. This accounts for the UNFAVORABLE quantity (efficiency) variance.

Answers

Answer:

1) depreciation expense per year = $146,500

2) net income:

years 1 - 4 = $149,450

net cash flows:

year 0 = -$620,000

year 1 = $295,950

year 2 = $295,950

year 3 = $295,950

year 4 = $329,950

3) payback period = 2.09 years

4) accounting rate of return = 24.1%

5) net present value (NPV) = $483,330.83

Explanation:

purchase cost of the machine $620,000

depreciation expense per year = ($620,000 - $34,000) / 4 = $146,500

expected annual sales $2,190,000

direct materials $494,000

direct labor $686,000

overhead (excluding depreciation) $476,000

S&A expenses $174,000

total costs (excluding depreciation) = $1,830,000

income taxes 30%

net income per year = ($2,190,000 - $1,830,000 - $146,500) x 70% = $149,450

net cash flow (years 1 - 3) = $149,450 + $146,500 = $295,950

net cash flow (year 4) = $149,450 + $146,500 + $34,000 = $329,950

payback period = $620,000 / $295,950 = 2.09 years

accounting rate of return = $149,450 / $620,000 = 24.1%

NPV, using a financial calculator = $483,330.83

You are given the option to set your quantity first, wait and let your rival set their quantity, or have both you and your rival set their quantities at the same time. What should you do

Answers

Available Options Are:

A. Set your quantity first.

B. Set your quantity second.

C. Set your quantity at the same time.

D. It doesn't matter.

Answer:

Option A. Set your quantity first.

Explanation:

The Cournot Equilibrium says that the decisions are made simultaneously and this simultaneous decision is that each firm will choose its own quantity, given what quantity of output its rival has set. Every firm will be producing a quantity that maximizes its profits and this approach will lower the profits because of Cournot Equilibrium.

The firm that sets its quantity first is at better position because the other firms might think about the worse market condition taking Cournot effect into account.

The optimal choice would be to set our quantity first, hence the option A is the right option.

Answer:

Ending Inventory = $1,716.00

Cost of Sales = $15,069.00

Sales Revenue = $20,910.00

Gross Profit = $5,841.00

Explanation:

FIFO Method assumes that the first goods received by the busines will be the first ones to be delivered to the final customer.

Ending Inventory :

Under FIFO, any remaining inventory will be valued as if they were the latest goods purchased.

Ending Inventory : 44 units  × $39.00 = $1,716.00

Cost of Goods Sold Calculation :

Cost of Sales :       41 units × $33.00   =   $1,353.00

                              121 units × $35.00  =  $4,235.00

                              191 units × $38.00  =  $7,258.00

                               57 units × $39.00 =  $2,223.00

                              Total                       =  $15,069.00

Sales Revenue Calculation ;

Sales Revenue = Units Sold × Selling Price

                         = 410 units × $51

Hunt Inc. intends to invest in one of two competing types of computer-aided manufacturing equipment: CAM X and CAM Y. Both CAM X and CAM Y models have a project life of 10 years. The purchase price of the CAM X model is $3,600,000, and it has a net annual after-tax cash inflow of $900,000. The CAM Y model is more expensive, selling for $4,200,000, but it will produce a net annual after-tax cash inflow of $1,050,000. The cost of capital for the company is 10%.

Required:
Calculate the NPV for each project.

Answers

Answer:

NPV of CAM X = $1,930,110.40

NPV of CAM Y = $2,251,795.46

Explanation:

The NPV for each project can be calculated using the following steps:

Step 1: Calculation of present value (PV) for each project

The PV for each project can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV of a project = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

For CAM X

P = Net annual after-tax cash inflow = $900,000

r = Cost of capital or interest rate = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of project life = 10

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV of CAM X = $900,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.10)]^10} / 0.10]

PV of CAM X = $900,000 * 6.14456710570468

PV of CAM X = $5,530,110.40

For CAM Y

P = Net annual after-tax cash inflow = $1,050,000

r = Cost of capital or interest rate = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of project life = 10

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV of CAM Y = $1,050,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.10)]^10} / 0.10]

PV of CAM Y = $1,050,000 * 6.14456710570468

PV of CAM Y = $6,451,795.46

Step 2: Calculation of net present value (NPV) for each project

The NPV for each project can be calculated using the following formula:

NPV of each project = PV of each equipment - Purchase price of each equipment ........ (2)

Using equation (2), we have:

NPV of CAM X =  PV of CAM X - Purchase price of CAM X = $5,530,110.40 - $3,600,000 = $1,930,110.40

NPV of CAM Y = PV of CAM Y - Purchase price of CAM Y = $6,451,795.46 - $4,200,000 = $2,251,795.46

Additional Note:

Although this not part of the requirement of the question, but note that the final decision is that since the positive NPV of $2,251,795.46 for CAM Y is gereater than the positive NPV of $1,930,110.40 for CAM X, Hunt Inc. will choose to invest in CAM Y.

c. $4,355 F.
d. $3,641 U.

Answers

Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $4,596 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable manufacturing overhead 0.50 hours $8.80 per hour $4.40

Actual direct labor hours= 1,200

Variable manufacturing overhead costs during March totaled $15,161.

To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Actual rate= 15,161/1,200= $12.63

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance=  (8.8 - 12.63)*1,200

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $4,596 unfavorable

Hank purchased a $28,000 car two years ago using an 8 percent, 5-year loan. He has decided that he would sell the car now, if he could get a price that would pay off the balance of his loan. What is the minimum price Hank would need to receive for his car

Answers

Answer:

$18,117.58

Explanation:

the question requires that we find the minimum price Hank would need to receive his first car.

loan = $28,000

rate = 0.08/12 = 0.0067

the monthly payment can be calculated as:

loan /[0.0067/1-(1/(0.0067)^60))]

= 28000/[1-1/(1.0067^60)/0.0067]

= 28000/(1-(1/1.0067)^60)/0.0067

= $567.74

The minimum price can be calculated as:

pmt = 567.74 x [(1-(1/1.0067^36))/0.0067) x 0.0067

= $18,117.58

g A decrease in the basis will __________ a long hedge and __________ a short hedger. Group of answer choices hurt; hurt hurt; benefit benefit; have no effect upon benefit; benefit benefit; hurt

Answers

Answer:

1. hurt

2. benefit

Explanation:

Given that a contract and an asset are to be converted in cash early, this implies that, basis risk exists and futures price and spot price should not move in lockstep before delivery date. However, a reduction in the basis will then hurt the long hedger and benefit the short hedger.

Hence, considering the nature of the hypothetical situation, a decrease in the basis will HURT a long hedge and BENEFIT a short hedge.

Suppose the tax rate on nominal interest income is 20% and does not change over time. Also assume the real interest rate remains constant. In year 1, the inflation rate is 4% and the nominal interest rate is 10%. In year 2, the inflation rate is 14% The real interest rate in both years is 16 The nominal interest rate in year 2 is 20 The after-tax nominal interest rate in year 1 is 7.

a. The after-tax nominal interest rate in year 2 is __________
b. The after-tax real interest rate in year 1 is ______________
c. The after-tax real interest rate in year 2 is ______________

Answers

Answer:

a. The after-tax nominal interest rate in year 2 is __________

after tax nominal interest rate = 20% x (1 - tax rate ) = 20% x 0.8 = 16%

b. The after-tax real interest rate in year 1 is ______________

after tax real interest rate = [(1 + after tax nominal interest rate) / (1 + inflation rate)] - 1

after tax nominal interest rate yer 1 = 10% x 0.8 = 8%

inflation rate = 4%

after tax real interest rate = [1.08 / 1.04] - 1 = 3.85%

c. The after-tax real interest rate in year 2 is ______________

after tax real interest rate = [(1 + after tax nominal interest rate) / (1 + inflation rate)] - 1

after tax nominal interest rate yer 1 = 16%

inflation rate = 4%

after tax real interest rate = [1.16 / 1.14] - 1 = 1.75%

Explanation:

year 1

inflation rate 4%

nominal interest rate 10%

Sanders, a 62-year-old single individual, sold his principal residence for the net amount of $500,000 after all selling expenses. Sanders bought the house 15 years ago and has occupied it until it sold. On the date of sale, the house had a cost basis of $200,000. Within six months, Sanders purchased a new house for $600,000. What amount of gain should Sanders recognize from the sale of the residence g

Answers

Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

Recognized gain can be calculated by deducting the exclusion available from the realized gain. To qualify for exclusion from the realized gain Sanders has met all the requirements of exclusion.

NOTE: Requirments for exclusion are given at the end of solution

DATA

Sale proceeds = $500,000

Cost basis = $200,000

exclusion available for single person = $250,000

Gain =?

Calculation

Realized gain on sale of home = Sale proceeds –  Cost basis

Realized gain on sale of home = $500,000 - $200,000

Realized gain on sale of home =  $300,000

Recognized gain = Realized gain - exclusion available

Recognized gain = $300,000 - $250,000

Recognized gain = $50,000

Requirements for exclusion

1. You've owned the home for two of the last five years.  

2. You used the home as your principal residence for two of the last five years.

3. You haven't used the exclusion on another property sale within the last two years.

This limitation is not imposed on businesses with average annual gross receipts of $26 million or less for the prior three taxable years D. All of the choices are false E. All of the choices are true

Answers

Answer:

Limitation on Business Interest Deductions:

B. The limitation is calculated as a percentage of the taxpayers total taxable income

Explanation:

30% (or 50% for years 2019 and 2020, as amended by the CARES Act) of the adjusted taxable income of a business is the limit of business interest expense that is allowed by the IRS.  The excess after this limitation may be carried forward by the tax paying organization to future tax years indefinitely until the interest expense is completely applied.

Following the CARES Act, "the business interest expense deduction limitation does not apply to certain small businesses whose gross receipts are $26 million or less, electing real property trades or businesses, electing farming businesses, and certain regulated public utilities. The $26 million gross receipts threshold, which applies for the 2020 tax year, is adjusted annually for inflation."
