Answer:
b. 0.64
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory turnover for the year 2016 is shown below:
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventories
where,
Average inventories is
= ($11,970,656 + $10,632,462) ÷ 2
= $11,301,559
And the cost of goods sold is $7,204,884
So, the Inventory turnover is
= $7,204,884 ÷ $11,301,559
= 0.64 times
We simply applied the above formula
Garison Music Emporium carries a wide variety of musical instruments, sound reproduction equipment, recorded music, and sheet music. Garison uses two sales promotion techniques— warranties and premiums— to attract customers.

b. The premium is offered on the recorded and sheet music. Customers receive a coupon for each dollar spent on recorded music or sheet music. Customers may exchange 200 coupons and $ 20 for a CD player. Garison pays $ 32 for each CD player and estimates that 60% of the coupons given to customers will be redeemed.
c. Garison’s total sales for 2010 were $ 7,200,000—$ 5,700,000 from musical instruments and sound reproduction equipment and $ 1,500,000 from recorded music and sheet music.
d. Replacement parts and labor for warranty work totaled $ 164,000 during 2010.
e. A total of 6,500 CD players used in the premium program were purchased during the year and there were 1,200,000 coupons redeemed in 2010.
f. The accrual method is used by Garison to account for the warranty and premium costs for financial reporting purposes.
The balances in the accounts related to warranties and premiums on January 1, 2010, were as shown below.
Inventory of Premium CD Players $ 37,600
Estimated Premium Claims Outstanding 44,800
Estimated Liability from Warranties 136,000
Question:
(a) Garison Music Emporium is preparing its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. Determine the amounts that will be shown on the 2010 financial statements for the following.
(1) Warranty Expense -
(2) Estimated Liability from Warranties -
(3) Premium Expense -
(4) Inventory of Premium CD Players -
(5) Estimated Premium Claims Outstanding -
Answer:
Explanation:
(a)
Given:
Warranty exp = 2% of musical instrument & sound equipment
Calculation:
Warranty exp = Warranty exp * 5,424,000
Warranty exp = 2% * 5,424,000
Warranty exp = 108,480
(b)
Warranty liability as on December 2017 = Opening Balance + Warranty Expense - Warranty Claim
Warranty liability as on December 2017 = 138,000 + 108,480 - 156,400
Warranty liability as on December 2017 = $90,080
(c)
The customer receives one coupon for each dollar spend 2,138,000 only 50% coupon will be redeemed.
Exp provision liability created = 50% * 2,138,000
Exp provision liability created = 1,069,000
Customer can exchange 200 coupon & $30 for MP3 player which is purchase for 42 that mean 200 coupon will be for 12 i.e. (42-30) value of coupon will be
12
200
= 0.06.
Value of 1,069,000 coupon = 1,069,000 * 0.06
Value of 1,069,000 coupon = 64,140
(d)
1,138,000 coupons had been redeemed during the year each MP3 player required 200 coupons.

Cost = 5,690 * 42
Cost = 238,980
Inventory Premium = Opening Balance + Purchases - Utilized Redeemed Coupon
Inventory Premium = 39,210 + (7,010 * 42) - 238,980
Inventory Premium = 39,210 + 294,420 - 238,980
Inventory Premium = $94,650
(e)
Premium liability balance = Opening Balance + Premium Exp Provision - Coupon Redeemed
Premium liability balance = 41,670 + 64,140 - (1,138,000 * 0.06)
Premium liability balance = 41,670 + 64,140 - 68,280
Premium liability balance = 37,530

Crimson Inc. recorded credit sales of $779,000, of which $590,000 is not yet due, $110,000 is past due for up to 180 days, and $79,000 is past due for more than 180 days. Under the aging of receivables method, Crimson Inc. expects it will not collect 3% of the amount not yet due, 14% of the amount past due for up to 180 days, and 21% of the amount past due for more than 180 days. The allowance account had a debit balance of $3,500 before adjustment. After adjusting for bad debt expense, what is the ending balance of the allowance account
Answer:
$49,690 credit balance
Explanation:
total credit sales = $590,000
past due up to 180 days = $110,000
past due for more than 180 days = $79,000
Crimson expects to not collect:
3% of credit sales not due yet = $590,000 x 3% = $17,70014% of credit sales past due up to 180 days = $110,000 x 14% = $15,400 21% of credit sales past due for more than 180 days = $79,000 x 21% = $16,590total = $49,690Allowance for uncollectible amounts has $3,500 debit balance
the adjusting entry should be:
Dr Bad debt expense 53,190
Cr Allowance for uncollectible accounts 53,190
The ending balance = $53,190 - $3,500 = $49,690
On January 1, 2017, Shamrock Inc. issued $400,000 of 7%, 5-year bonds at par. Interest is payable semiannually on July 1 and January 1. Prepare journal entries to record the following. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Record journal entries in the order presented in the problem.) (a) The issuance of the bonds. (b) The payment of interest on July 1. (c) The accrual of interest on December 31.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
On Jan 1
Cash $400,000
To Bonds payable $400,000
(Being the bond is issued for cash)
For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and at the same time it increased the liabilities so the bond payable is credited
On July 1
Interest expense $14,000
To Cash $14,000
(Being the payment of interest is recorded)
The computation is shown below:
= $400,000 × 7% × 6 months ÷ 12 months
= $14,000
For recording this we debited the expenses as it increased the expenses and at the same time it decreased the assets so the cash is credited
On Dec 31
Interest expense $14,000
To Interest payable $14,000
(Being the accrual of interest is recorded)
For recording this we debited the expenses as it increased the expenses and at the same time it increased the liabilities so the interest payable is credited
(Ignore income taxes in this problem) The management of Serpas Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $180,000, would last for 5 years, and would have no salvage value. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $46,000 per year. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 13% on all investment projects. The net present value of the proposed project is closest to:
Answer:
-$18,207
Explanation:
Net present value is the Net value all cash inflows and outflows in present value term. All the cash flows are discounted using a required rate of return.
Net Present Value = Initial Investment + Present value of reduced Labor and other costs
Net Present value = -$180,000 + $46,000( 1 - ( 1 + 13% )^-5 / 13% )
Net Present value = -$180,000 + 161,793
Net Present value = -$18,207
When China reformed state-owned enterprises, it tried a new approach to choosing managers: it put managerial jobs up for auction. The bids for the jobs consisted of promises of future profit streams that the managers would generate and then deliver to the state. In cases where the incumbent manager was the winning bidder, firm productivity tended to increase dramatically. When outside bidders won, there was little productivity improvement. If incumbent managers were not generally more qualified, how can you explain this result?
Answer: The explanation is provided below
Explanation:
An outsider tend to overbid with a eye to get the job while, an insider manager bids a realistic performance that is achievable. An insider manager understands the factors which affect the organization's performance and then tries to take control of the factors.
People make or break organizations and there is a greater chance of the insider getting the support and cooperation of the employees in comparision to outside bidders. Also, an insider manager has a prospective that is long term with regard to his or her association with the enterprise while an outsider may come and then realize that he doesn't like the organization and then leave for a better enterprise.
Therefore internal managers are a better prospect of being given the responsibility to manage the enterprise.
Answer:
Explanation:
A stranger tends to bid excessively to get the job. In contrast, the internal manager offers realistic, achievable performance. The internal manager understands the factors that influence the organization's performance and tries to take control of it. There is a greater chance that an insider will get employee support and cooperation than strangers . Insider manager has been in the organisation for and already know the rules that guide the company, The Dos ans Donts.. A stranger have lilttle or no knowledge about how the company is run and can choose to stay or he will go to a better company. Therefore, internal managers are in good position for taking responsibility for running the welfare and activites of a company.
A strategic plan is a carefully crafted set of steps that a firm intends to follow in order to be successful. The business model is a central element of a firm’s strategic plan and describes the process whereby a company hopes to earn profits and outperform the competition. The importance of an effective strategy cannot be overstated. With this in mind provide a substantive response to the questions below: Think about the best and worst companies you know. What is extraordinary (or extraordinarily bad) about these firms? Are their strategies clear and focused or difficult to define? Explain.
Answer:
A business model integrated with the well-developed and analytical strategic plan is essential for any company that plans to achieve market position, without these two tools it is impossible for a company to survive in the highly competitive market in the long term.
It is through the business model and strategic planning that the company identifies itself, outlines its mission, values and action plans to achieve the objectives.
The most successful companies in the world are well-organized companies, who know what direction they want to go, their identity, their strengths and weaknesses, their competitors, etc.
A company with clear and focused strategies is Apple, one of the largest technology companies in the world, which strategically sought to become the most important company in the world, therefore it developed innovative products that revolutionized the market and made the company a reference in the manufacture of cell phones, computers and electronic devices. Apple has created a value and consumer identity proposition for its products that was only possible thanks to analytical strategic decisions envisaged through effective planning.
Depreciation by Two Methods A storage tank acquired at the beginning of the fiscal year at a cost of $80,000 has an estimated residual value of $4,000 and an estimated useful life of 20 years. a. Determine the amount of annual depreciation by the straight-line method. $ b. Determine the amount of depreciation for the first and second years computed by the double-declining-balance method. Do not round the double-declining balance rate. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
a. Annual depreciation = $3,800
b. First year depreciation is $8,000' while second year depreciation is $7,200.
Explanation:
a. Determine the amount of annual depreciation by the straight-line method.
Depreciable amount = $80,000 - $4,000 = $76,000
Annual depreciation = $76,000 / 20 = $3,800
b. Determine the amount of depreciation for the first and second years computed by the double-declining-balance method. Do not round the double-declining balance rate. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / 20 = 0.05, or 5%
Double declining depreciation rate = 5% * 2 = 10%
First year depreciation = $80,000 * 10% = $8,000
Second year depreciation = ($80,000 - $8,000) * 10% = $7,200
Offenbach & Son has just made its sales forecasts and its marketing department estimates that the company will sell 232,200 units during the coming year. In the past, management has maintained inventories of finished goods at approximately one month’s sales. The inventory at the start of the budget period is 15,600 units. Sales occur evenly throughout the year. Required: Estimate the production level required for the coming year to meet these objectives.
Answer:
Production= 235,950 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 232,200 units during the coming year.
Desired ending inventory= one month's sales
Beginning inventory= 15,600 units.
First, we need to calculate the desired ending inventory:
Desired ending inventory= 232,200/12= 19,350
Now, we can determine the production for the year:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 232,200 + 19,350 - 15,600
Production= 235,950 units

Morrish Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,100 direct labor-hours will be required in January. The variable overhead rate is $1.80 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $102,950 per month, which includes depreciation of $19,880. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
$95,850
Explanation:
To calculate cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead:
Direct labor cost + Fixed manufacturing overhead
where,
direct labor cost = Direct labor hours × per labor rate
= $7,100 x $1.8 =
$12,780
Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead - depreciation
102,950 - 19880 =
Direct labor cost + Fixed manufacturing overhead =
$83,070 + $12,780
= $95,850
The January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be $95,850
Answer:
The January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be $95,850
Explanation:
In order to calculate the the January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget we would have to use the following formula:
Total cash disbursement for overhead in January =Variable overhead+Cash portion of fixed manufacturing overhead
Variable overhead = 7,100 direct labor-hours × $1.80 = $12,780
Cash portion of fixed manufacturing overhead = $102,950 - $19,880 = $83,070
Therefore, Total cash disbursement for overhead in January = $12,780 + $83,070
Total cash disbursement for overhead in January =$95,850
The January cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be $95,850

Sales on account are $1,890,000. Cost of goods sold is $1,394,250. Required: 1. Calculate the following risk ratios for 2021:
Answer and Explanation:
The risk ratios are calculated below:
1. Account Receivable Turnover
= Net credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivable
= $1,890,000 ÷ (($98,000 + $102,000) ÷ 2)
= $1,890,000 ÷ $100,000
= 18.9 times
It shows the relation between the net credit sales and the average account receivable
2. Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $1394250 ÷ (($105,000 + $90,000) ÷ 2)
= $1,394,250 ÷ $97,500
= 14.3 times
It shows the relation between the cost of goods sold and the average inventory
c. Current Ratio = Current assets ÷ Current Liabilities
= ($242,000 + $98,000 + $105,000 + $5,000) ÷ ($109,000 + $7,000 + $9,000)
= $450,000 ÷ $125,000
= 3.6 times
It shows the relation between the current assets and the current liabilities
d. Acid Test Ratio = Liquid assets ÷ Current Liabilities
= ($450,000 - $105,000) ÷ ($125,000 )
= $345,000 ÷ $125,000
= 2.76 times
It shows the relation between the liquid assets which do not involved prepaid assets, inventory, etc and the current liabilities
e. Debt to Equity = Debt ÷ Equity
= ($109,000 + $7,000 + $9,000 + $110,000) ÷ ($800,000 + $357,000 )
= $235,000 ÷ $1,157,000
= 0.203
It shows the relation between the debt and equity
1. Account Receivable Turnover
= Net credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivable
= $1,890,000 ÷ (($98,000 + $102,000) ÷ 2)
= $1,890,000 ÷ $100,000
= 18.9 times
It represents the relationship between the net credit sales and the average account receivable.
2. Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $1394250 ÷ (($105,000 + $90,000) ÷ 2)
= $1,394,250 ÷ $97,500
= 14.3 times
It represents the relationship between the cost of goods sold and the average inventory.
c. Current Ratio = Current assets ÷ Current Liabilities
= ($242,000 + $98,000 + $105,000 + $5,000) ÷ ($109,000 + $7,000 + $9,000)
= $450,000 ÷ $125,000
= 3.6 times
It represents the relationship between the current assets and the current liabilities.
d. Acid Test Ratio = Liquid assets ÷ Current Liabilities
= ($450,000 - $105,000) ÷ ($125,000 )
= $345,000 ÷ $125,000
= 2.76 times
It represents the relationship between the liquid assets in which it does include prepaid assets, inventory, etc and the current liabilities.
e. Debt to Equity = Debt ÷ Equity
= ($109,000 + $7,000 + $9,000 + $110,000) ÷ ($800,000 + $357,000 )
= $235,000 ÷ $1,157,000

Instructions: a. Calculate the breakeven point in units .(20 points) b. Comfort Homeless Inc. increases its selling price from $48 a bed to $49.95 a bed. Calculate the new breakeven points in units. (20 points) c. Find the new breakeven point in units if the cost to produce the beds will decrease to $19 each because a new supplier was found when purchasing the raw materials. (20 points) d. Comfort Homeless Inc. is considering selling mattresses. It only expects to sell one mattress for every bed it sells. Comfort Homeless Inc. can purchase the mattresses for $5 each and sell them for $9 each. Total fixed cost should remain the same at $16,000 per month. Calculate the breakeven point in units for beds and mattresses. (40 points)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit= $48
Unitary variable cost= $6
Total fixed costs= $16,000
A)
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 16,000/ (48 - 6)
Break-even point in units= 381 units
B) Selling price= $49.95 a bedpoints
Break-even point in units= 16,000/ (49.95 - 6)
Break-even point in units= 364 units
C) Unitary variable cost= 6 - 3= 3
Break-even point in units= 16,000 / (48 - 3)
Break-even point in units= 356 units
D) Matresses= 1
Beds= 1
Proportions of sales:
Matreses= 0.5
Beds= 0.5
Selling price per matress= $9
Unitary variable cost= $5
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (0.5*9 + 0.5*48) - (0.5*5 + 0.5*6)
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= $23
Break-even point (units)= 16,000/23
Break-even point (units)= 696 units
A consumer values a house at $525,000 and a producer values the same house at $485,000. If the transaction is completed at $510,000, the transaction will generate: a. No surplus b. $25,000 worth of seller surplus and unknown amount of buyer surplus c. $15,000 worth of buyer surplus and $25,000 of seller surplus d. $25,000 worth of buyer surplus and unknown amount of seller surplus
Answer:
c. $15,000 worth of buyer surplus and $25,000 of seller surplus
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the different between the value a consumer places on a product and the price of the product.
Consumer surplus = value of the product - price of the product
$525,000 - $510,000 = $15,000
Producer surplus is the difference between the price and the least price the seller is willing to sell his product.
Producer surplus = price - least price the seller is willing to sell his product
$510,000 - $485,000 = $25,000

The company has provided the following data for the most recent month: Budgeted level of activity 9,000 MHs Actual level of activity 9,100 MHs Standard variable manufacturing overhead rate $ 6.20 per MH Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 55,000 Actual total variable manufacturing overhead $ 56,600 Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 59,500 What was the fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the month?
Answer:
$4,500 U
Explanation:
Teall Corporation
Budget variance = Actual fixed overhead cost − Budgeted fixed overhead cost
Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 59,500
Less Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 55,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the month $4,500 U
Therefore the fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the month is $4,500 U
For the cost and price functions below, find
a. the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit
b. the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit
c. the maximum profit, P.
C(q) = 70 + 17q
p = 77 - 2q
Answer:
a) The number, q, of units that produces maximum profit = 15
b) The price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit = 47 (currency not giben in the question)
c) Maximum Profit = P = 380 (currency not given in the question).
Explanation:
The cost function and price per unit function are given respectively as
C(q) = 70 + 17q
p = 77 - 2q
where q = quantity or number of units
a.) the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit
Total cost = C(q) = 70 + 17q
Revenue = (price per unit) × (Number of units) = p × q = (77 - 2q) × q = (77q - 2q²)
Profits = P(q) = (Revenue) - (Total Cost)
P(q) = (77q - 2q²) - (70 + 17q)
P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70
To maximize the profits, we just obtain the point where the profit function reaches a Maximum.
At the maximum of a function, (dP/dq) = 0 and (d²P/dq²) < 0
Profit = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70
(dP/dq) = -4q + 60
At maximum point,
(dP/dq) = -4q + 60 = 0
q = (60/4) = 15
(d²P/dQ²) = -4 < 0 (hence, showing that the this point corresponds to a maximum point truly)
Hence, the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit = 15.
b.) the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit
The price per unit is given as
p = 77 - 2q
Maximum profit occurs at q = 15
p = 77 - (2×15) = 47
Hence, the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit = 47 (currency not given in the question)
c.) the maximum profit, P.
The Profit function is given as
Profit = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70
At maximum Profit, q = 15
Maximum Profit = P(15)
= -2(15²) + 60(15) - 70
= 380 (currency not given in the question).
Hope this Helps!!!
A) The number, q, of units that produce maximum profit is = 15
B) The price, p, per unit that creates maximum profit is = 47
C) Maximum Profit is = P = 380
What is the cost and price function?
When The cost procedure and price per unit procedure are presented respectively as:
C(q) is = 70 + 17q
p is = 77 - 2q
where that q is = quantity or number of units
a.) When the number, q, of units that produce maximum profit
The Total cost is = C(q) = 70 + 17q
When the Revenue is = (price per unit) × (Number of units) that is = p × q = (77 - 2q) × q is = (77q - 2q²)
After that Profits is = P(q) = (Revenue) - (Total Cost)
Then P(q) is = (77q - 2q²) - (70 + 17q)
Now, P(q) is = -2q² + 60q - 70
When To maximize the profits, Then we just obtain the point where the profit function reaches a Maximum.
When At the maximum of a function, (dP/dq) is = 0 and (d²P/dq²) < 0
Profit is = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70
(dP/dq) is = -4q + 60
Then At maximum point are:
(dP/dq) is = -4q + 60 = 0
After that, q = (60/4) = 15
Then (d²P/dQ²) = -4 < 0 (hence, showing that this point corresponds to a maximum point truly)
Therefore, the number, q, of units that produce maximum profit is = 15.
b.) When the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit
The price per unit is given as
p is = 77 - 2q
Then Maximum profit occurs at q is = 15
p is = 77 - (2×15) = 47
Therefore, the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit is = 47 (currency not provided in the question)
c.) When the maximum profit, P.
The Profit function is given as
Profit is = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70
Then At maximum Profit, q = 15
So, The Maximum Profit is = P(15)
Then = -2(15²) + 60(15) - 70
Therefore, = 380 (currency not given in the question).

Fixed expenses are $384,000 per month. The company is currently selling 6,000 units per month. The marketing manager would like to introduce sales commissions as an incentive for the sales staff. The marketing manager has proposed a commission of $9 per unit. In exchange, the sales staff would accept a decrease in their salaries of $46,000 per month. (This is the company's savings for the entire sales staff.) The marketing manager predicts that introducing this sales incentive would increase monthly sales by 500 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?
Answer:
A reduction of $12,500 in net operating income
Explanation:
The net operating income/loss is the difference between the sales and the total costs.
The change in the company's net operating income is the net of the increased commission and the total decrease in salaries. The commission is a variable cost that is dependent on the total number of units sold.
Hence the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
= $46,000 - ($9 * 6500)
= ($12,500)
