Answer:
(1) 2.33 (2)11.42857 times (3) 31.9375 days (4) 3.846154 times (5) 87.6 days (6) 6.00 times (7) 15.75% (8) 1 times (9) 0.35 (10) 14%
Explanation:
Solution
(1) Current ratio:
Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liability = =140000/60000 = 2.33
(2) The return of common equity of stockholders:
Accounts receivable turnover ratio = the net credit sales/ average accounts receivable = $400000/$35000
11.42857 times
(3) Accounts collection period = 365/Accounts receivable turnover ratio =365/11.42857
31.9375 days
(4) Test acid ratio:
The Inventory Ratio Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory
= $2,50,000/$65000
3.846154 times
(5) Average day to sell inventory = Inventory/Cost of Sales *365
=60000/250000*365
87.6 days
(6) The interest earned times:
Times Interest Earned = (Income before taxes and interest)/interest expense
= ($90000+18000)/18000
= 6.00 times
(7)The Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales
= 63000/400000
=15.75%
(8) The asset Turnover = Sales or Revenues / Total Assets
= $400000/400000 = 1 times
(9) Debt to asset ration = Total Liability / Total asset
= $140000/$400000
=0.35
(10)The return on asset ratio = Net Income/Average total asset
= 63000/450000 =14%
Now,
The total current assets = total assets - Net property, plant, equipment = $400000-$260000 = $140000
The Total current liabilities = [accounts payable + notes payable] $20000 + 40000 = $60000
The Average Account Receivable = (Opening Debtors+Closing Debtors)/2 = ($30000+$40000)/2 = $35000
The Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory+Closing Inventory)/2 = ($70000+$60000)/2 = $65000
Long-term debt + Equity = Total liabilities and equity – Total current liabilities = $275.00 – 65 = $201.00
The Total liability = Accounts Payable+ Notes Payable+Bonds Payable = $20000+40000+80000 = 140000
The Average Total asset = (Total opening asset+ total closing asset)/2 = ($400000+$500000)/2 = $4,50,000

Answer:
=7:30hours
Explanation:
Standard direct labor hours per brake repair
= 5 Hours+(5*11%+5*27%)
=5 Hours + (0.55 hours + 1.35hours)
=7:30hours
Lynch Company manufactures and sells a single product. The following costs were incurred during the company’s first year of operations: Variable costs per unit: Manufacturing: Direct materials $6Direct labor $9Variable manufacturing overhead $3Variable selling and administrative $4Fixed costs per year: Fixed manufacturing overhead$300,000Fixed selling and administrative$190,000 During the year, the company produced 25,000 units and sold 20,000 units. The selling price of the company’s product is $50 per unit. Required:1. Assume that the company uses absorption costing:a. Compute the unit product cost.b. Prepare an income statement for the year.2. Assume that the company uses variable costing:a. Compute the unit product cost.b. Prepare an income statement for the year.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $6
Direct labor $9
Variable manufacturing overhead $3
Variable selling and administrative $4
Fixed costs per year:
Fixed manufacturing overhead$300,000
Fixed selling and administrative $190,000
During the year, the company produced 25,000 units and sold 20,000 units.
The selling price of the company’s product is $50 per unit.
The difference between the absorption costing and variable costing methods is that the first one includes the fixed manufacturing overhead to the product cost.
1) Absorption costing:
Unitary fixed overhead= 300,000/25,000= $12 per unit
Unitary product cost= 6 + 9 + 3 + 12= $30
Income statement:
Sales= 20,000*50= 1,000,000
COGS= (20,000*30)= (600,000)
Gross profit= 400,000
Total selling and administrative= (190,000 + 20,000*4)= (270,000)
Net income= 130,000
2) Variable costing method:
Unitary variable cost= 6 + 9 + 3= $18
Income statement:
Sales= 1,000,000
Variable cost= (20,000*22)= (440,000)
Contribution margin= 560,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead= (300,000)
Fixed selling and administrative= (190,000)
net income= 70,000
In the market for lock washers, a perfectly competitive market, the current equilibrium price is $5 per box. Washer King, one of the many producers of washers, has a daily short-run total cost given by TC = 190 + 0.20Q + 0.0025Q2, where Q measures boxes of washers. Washer King's corresponding marginal cost is MC = 0.20 + 0.005Q. How many boxes of washers should Washer King produce per day to maximize profit?
Answer:
The number of boxes of washers Washer King should produce per day to maximize profit = 960 boxes.
And the corresponding maximum daily profit = $2,114
Explanation:
The daily, short-run total cost of producing Q boxes of the product is given as
TC = 190 + 0.20Q + 0.0025Q²
The unit price of the product = $5.
Total revenue = (Unit Price) × (Quantity sold) = 5Q
Profit = (Revenue) - (Total Cost)
Profit = 5Q - (190 + 0.20Q + 0.0025Q²)
Profit = P(Q) = -190 + 4.8Q - 0.0025Q²
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) = -190 + 4.8Q - 0.0025Q²
(dP/dQ) = 4.8 - 0.005Q
At maximum point,
(dP/dQ) = 4.8 - 0.005Q = 0
Q = (4.8/0.005) = 960 boxes
(d²P/dQ²) = -0.005 < 0 (hence, showing that the this point corresponds to a maximum point truly)
Hence, the number of boxes of washers Washer King should produce per day to maximize profit = 960 boxes.
The corresponding maximum profit is then obtained from
P(960) = -190 + (4.8×960) - 0.0025(960²)
Maximum daily profit = $2,114
Hope this Helps!!!
Use the following selected information from Wheeler, LLC to determine the 2017 and 2016 trend percentages for net sales using 2016 as the base.2017 2016Net sales $ 276,200 $ 231,400Cost of goods sold 151,900 129,590Operating expenses 55,240 53,240Net earnings 27,820 19,820Multiple Choice65.1% for 2017 and 64.6% for 2016.55.0% for 2017 and 56.0% for 2016.119.4% for 2017 and 100.0% for 2016.36.4% for 2017 and 41.1% for 2016.117.2% for 2017 and 100.0% for 2016.
Answer:
119.4% for 2017 and 100.0% for 2016.
Explanation:
2017 2016
Net sales $276,200 $231,400
Cost of goods sold $151,900 $129,590
Operating expenses $55,240 $53,240
Net earnings $27,820 $19,820
since we are using 2016 as a base year, the $231,400 in net sales represent 100%, so the trend percentage for 2017 = net sales 2017 / net sales 2016 $276,200 / $231,400 = 1.1936 = 119.4% or a 19.4% increase.
The base year's amount will always be 100% or 1, and the trend percentages will change relative to that year.
Answer:
turtle
Explanation:
With your team you are working on a project that is supposed to be completed in FOUR months. You planned that EACH MONTH you are going to spend $15000 on the work for the month. At the end of the FIRST month you have spent the expected amount of $15000, but you have completed only two thirds (2/3) of the work. Answer the following questions: a) What is the Earned Value at the end of the first month. b) Calculate the Cost Variance and the Schedule Variance c) Calculate the Cost Performance Index and the Schedule Performance Index d) Analyze the progress of the project. Is the project behind or on schedule
Answer:
(a). $10000.
(b). Cost variance and Scheduled variance = -$5000.
(c). 0.66 and 0.66.
(d). task is behind schedule and the task is over budget.
Explanation:
(a). Earned value at the end of the first month can be calculated by using the formula below;
= A × B.
Where A = first month budget and B = rate at which the work is getting completed.
Earned value at the end of the first month = 15000× (2/3)
Earned value at the end of the first month = $10000
(b). The Cost Variance and the Schedule Variance can be calculated using the formula below;
Cost variance = Earned value at the end of the first month - monthly budget
Cost variance= 10000 - 15000
Cost variance = -$5000
Also, the Scheduled variance = Earned value at the end of the first month - monthly budget
= 10000 - 15000
= - $5000
(c). The cost Performance Index and the Schedule Performance Index can be calculated by using the formula below;
Cost performnace index = 10000 / 15000
= 0.66
Schedule performance index = the amount Earned / the amount that was planned.
Schedule performance index = 10000 / 15000
= 0.66.
(d). Since both schedule performance index and the Cost performance index are less than one that is 0.66, task is behind schedule and the task is over budget respectively.
Supposed your organization used a qualitative risk assessment matrix with three levels each of probability and consequences (high, medium and low). In evaluating a project's risks, you determine that commercial risks pose a low probability of occurrence but high consequences. On the other hand, legal risks are evaluated as having a high probability of occurrence and medium consequence. If you are interested in prioritizing your risks, What should be considered first?
Answer:
I consider that commercial or legal risks should be prioritized as they have a high probability of occurrence and medium consequence is not low, so it affects a project or company in a medium degree.
Explanation:
Commercial and legal risks: the more you know about a company, the safer the commercial exchanges with it will be. Knowing all the official information published in public records, in the media and that relating to their management teams, shareholders or administrators will complete that previous image of who we are relating to and will prevent us from taking surprises in the future.
Furthermore, it is important to bear in mind that initially, if the project or the company does not have all its clearly established legal norms, it may incur a sanction and be forced to compensate damages due to its breach of norms or regulations and contractual obligations.
This type of risk also arises as a consequence of failures in contracts and transactions, which derive from malicious acts, negligence or involuntary acts that do not make it possible to formalize or execute contracts or transactions.
argaryen Corporation has a target capital structure of 70 percent common stock, 5 percent preferred stock, and 25 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 10 percent, the cost of preferred stock is 5 percent, and the pretax cost of debt is 6 percent. The relevant tax rate is 23 percent.a. What is the company’s WACC?
Answer:
WACC = 8.41%
Explanation:
The weighted Average cost of Capital is the average cost of capital for the different sources of long-term capital available to a firm weighted according to the proportion each source of finance bears to the total capital in the pool..
After-tax cost of debt = (1- tax rate) × before tax cost of debt
= (1-0.23)× 6% = 4.6%
Type Cost (%) Weight cost × weight
Equity 10 70 7
Preferred stock 5 5 0.25
Debt 4.6% 25 1.155
Total 100 8.405
WACC = 8.405 / 100 × 100 = 8.41%
WACC = 8.41%
Molly is a 30% partner in the MAP Partnership. During the current tax year, the partnership reported ordinary income of $200,000 before any permitted deduction for guaranteed payments and distributions to partners. The partnership made an ordinary cash distribution of $20,000 to Molly and made guaranteed payments to partners Molly, Amber, and Pat of $20,000 each ($60,000 total guaranteed payments). How much will Molly's adjusted gross income increase as a result of these items
Answer:
$62,000
Explanation:
The partnership had a total ordinary income of $200,000. Then guaranteed payments were made to its three partners Molly, Amber and Pat of $20,000 each $20,000 x 3 = $60,000.
$200,000 - 60000
= $140,000
So the partnership adjusted income is reduced to $140,000, out of that amount, 30% belongs to Molly.
30/100 × 140,000
= $42,000
Molly's share of the partnership adjusted income is $42,000.
Molly's total earnings from the partnership are $62,000
= $20,000 + $42,000
= $62,000

Carlinville Car Parts, Inc. has been provided by its lenders and owners with $46,000,000 to purchase assets. The most recent income statement showed Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT, or Operating Income) of $10,500,000, and net income of $3,950,000. Income tax was paid at a 25% average annual rate. What was Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) for the year?
Answer:
17%
Explanation:
The formula to calculate ROIC is:
ROIC= Net operating profit after tax/ Total invested capital
ROIC= EBIT*(1-Tax rate)/Total invested capital
ROIC= 10,500,000*(1-0.25)/46,000,000
ROIC= 7,875,000/46,000,000
ROIC= 0.17 → 17%
According to this, the answer is that the Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) for the year is 17%.
i. Discuss the rationale of organizing an industrial strike in resolving employee dispute with the
state, focusing on the detrimental effects strikes has on various stakeholders in an economy.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
Strike action, is a work stoppage, that is caused by mass refusal of employees to work and it usually takes place in response to the employee grievances.
Some of the reasons for strike include:
• Low wages: Employees engage in strik as a way to show their grievances to their employers that they're not well paid and want a pay rise.
• Poor communication with the organisation: Another reason for strikes is the lack of trust between employers and the trade unions. In cases whereby workers believe their employers aren't transparent with them, strike can take place.
• Employee debt: When employees are owed certain amount of money and the employer is not doing anything reasonable about paying, the workers may strike.
• Working conditions: Workers can engage in strike in order to seek for improvement in their working conditions. This may be probably because they need better equipments, medical facilities etc.
The detrimental effects that strikes has on various stakeholders in an economy are:
Effects on employers: Strike affects business and it is vital for employers to know their rights and keep up to date with the current labour laws and legislation. Strike leads to loss of revenue for the owner and if the strike continues.for a long time, it can badly affect the business.
Effects on employees: Striking employees who belong to a union are under the obligation to strike when the union wants. They can be at risk of losing their wages and benefits such as sick and holiday pay, medical aid insurance if the strike drags continues for an extended period of time.
Effect on the economy: The impact of strike will be felt by the economy in the immediate and long term future. Strike can harm a country’s investment and reputation internationally. The GDP growth will also be affected and consequences of higher wages in some sectors would lead to higher inflation.

Goshford Company produces a single product and has capacity to produce 105,000 units per month. Costs to produce its current sales of 84,000 units follow. The regular selling price of the product is $126 per unit. Management is approached by a new customer who wants to purchase 21,000 units of the product for $77.40 per unit. If the order is accepted, there will be no additional fixed manufacturing overhead and no additional fixed selling and administrative expenses. The customer is not in the company’s regular selling territory, so there will be a $7.60 per unit shipping expense in addition to the regular variable selling and administrative expenses. Per Unit Costs at 84,000 Units Direct materials $ 12.50 $ 1,050,000 Direct labor 15.00 1,260,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 14.00 1,176,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 17.50 1,470,000 Variable selling and administrative expenses 14.00 1,176,000 Fixed selling and administrative expenses 13.00 1,092,000 Totals $ 86.00 $ 7,224,000 Calculate the combined total net income if the company accepts the offer to sell additional units at the reduced price of $77.40 per unit.
Answer:
Net income= $4,836,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Offer:
21,000 units for $77.4
An increase in variable cost= $7.6 per unit
Direct materials $ 12.50 $ 1,050,000
Direct labor 15.00 1,260,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 14.00 1,176,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead 17.50 1,470,000
Variable selling and administrative expenses 14.00 1,176,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses 13.00 1,092,000
Totals $ 86.00 $ 7,224,000
First, we need to calculate the effect on the income of accepting the offer:
Effect on income= 21,000*77.4 - 21,000*(12.5 + 15 + 14 + 14 + 7.6)
Effect on income= 1,625,400 - 1,325,100
Effect on income= 300,300
Net income= 84,000*140 + 300,300 - 7,224,000
Net income= $4,836,200
As of December 31, 2020, Gill Co. reported accounts receivable of $216,000 and an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $8,400. During 2021, Gill recorded $1,007,800 of credit sales, collections of $978,000, and wrote off $7,800 of bad debts. An analysis of Gill Co.'s December 31, 2021, accounts receivable suggests that the allowance for uncollectible accounts should be 3% of accounts receivable. Bad debt expense for 2021 would be:
Answer:
$6,574
Explanation:
Allowance for uncollectible accounts is a contra asset account and it has credit nature. It needs to be debited to decrease the balance and credited to increase the balance. Balance of this account is adjusted in the account receivable to report the net receivable balance in the balance sheet.
As per given data
Beginning allowance for uncollectible accounts balance = $216,000
Write off is the adjustment mad in this account and it needs to be debited in this account, this transaction will reduce the balance.
Adjusted Balance = $8,400 - 7,800 = $600
Account receivable balance = $216,000 + 1,007,800 - $978,000 = $245,800
Estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts balance = $245,800 x 3% = $7,374
As allowance for uncollectible accounts has already have balance of $600, Bad debt expense for the year is $6,574 ($7,374 - $800)

Consider a market where the demand and supply for the good are described by the following equations: begin mathsize 14px style straight Q subscript straight D space equals space 225 space minus space 3 straight P end style and begin mathsize 14px style straight Q subscript straight S space equals space minus space 22.5 space plus space 1.5 straight P end style.
If the government implements a price ceiling of $45, this will result in a
A. surplus of 22.5 units.
B. a surplus of 45 units.
C. a shortage of 45 units.
D. a shortage of 22.5 units.
Answer:
The correct option is (c)a shortage of 45 units.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Qd=225-3P
Qs=-22.5+1.5P
Then,
Set Qd=Qs for equilibrium
225-3P=-22.5+1.5P
4.5P=247.50
P=$55
Now
The government forces a ceiling of $45, it is binding as it is lesser than the equilibrium price.
Thus,
Let calculate the demanded quantity and supplied quantity at a price of $45
Now,
Qd=225-3*45=90
Qs=-22.5+1.5*45=45
Shortage=Qd-Qs=90-45=45 units .
Therefore, there is a shortage of 45 units.

What is the effective price (after taking account of hedging) received by the company for the commodity
Answer:
$1,014
Explanation:
The computation of effective price received by the company for the commodity is shown below:-
Here for computing the Effective price received first we need to find out the profit on future contract which is here below:-
Profit on future contract = Futures prices of Nov 1 - Dec Future prices Dec
= $1015 - $981
= $34
Effective price received = November Price + Profit on future contract
= $980 + $34
= $1,014
The effective price (after taking account of hedging) received by the company for the commodity is $1,014.
First step
Future contract profit:
Future contract profit= $1015 - $981
Future contract profit= $34
Second step
Effective price :
Effective price = $980 + $34
Effective price= $1,014
Inconclusion the effective price (after taking account of hedging) received by the company for the commodity is $1,014.

A firm has cash flow from operations of $500 million, interest expense of $40 million, net capital expenditures of $150 million, net new borrowing of $60 million, and a net increase in working capital of $20 million. The marginal tax rate is 30%. What is the free cash flow to the firm
Answer: $410 million
Explanation:
Cash flow from operation= $500
Interest expense = $40 million
Net capital expenditures = $150 million
Net new borrowing = $60 million, Net increase in working capital = $20 million.
Marginal tax rate = 30%.
The cash flow from operations includes the Net Earnings adjusted for working capital. Also, the net earnings include the impact of interest expense and the tax expense/shield.
Therefore, the cash flow to equity will be:
= Cash Flow from Operations - Capital Expenditure + Net borrowing
Cash flow to equity will now be:
= 500 - 150 + 60
= $410 million

Total materials variance $ Materials price variance $ Materials quantity variance $ Total labor variance $ Labor price variance $ Labor quantity variance $ Click if you would like to Show Work for this question: Open Show Work LINK TO TEXT LINK TO TEXT
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the material price variance is shown below:
= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)
= $7,260 × (2,200 pounds × $3.10 per pound)
= $440 unfavorable
b. The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:
= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)
= $3.10 × (2,200 pounds - (190 units × 6 pounds))
= $3,286 unfavorable
c. Total material variance
= Material price variance + material quantity variance
= $440 unfavorable + $3,286 unfavorable
= $3,726 unfavorable
d. The computation of the labor price variance is shown below:
= Actual Hours × (Actual price - Standard Price)
= $7,623 - (770 hours × $10)
= $77 favorable
e. The computation of the labor quantity variance is shown below:
= Standard Rate × (Actual Hours - Standard hours allowed for actual units)
= $10 × (770 hours - (190 units × 4 hours)
= $100 unfavorable
Total labor variance
= Labor rate variance + labor quantity variance
= $77 favorable + 100 unfavorable
= $23 unfavorable
Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 6.90 pounds $ 2.60 per pound $ 17.94 Direct labor 0.30 hours $ 7.00 per hour $ 2.10 During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: 19,250.00 pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.40 per pound. All of the material purchased was used to produce 2,500 units of Zoom. 450 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $4,500. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Answer:
1. Material Variances
Material Price Variance = $3,850 F
Material Quantity Variance = $5,200 U
2. Labor Variances
Labor Rate Variance = $1,350 U
Labor Efficiency Variance = $2,100 F
Explanation:
Calculation is as follows:
1. Material Variances
Material Price Variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) x Actual units
Material Price Variance = ($2.60 - $2.4) x 19,250 pounds
Material Price Variance = $3,850 (favorable)
As the actual rate is less than standard rate the variance is favorable.
Standard Quantity = 2,500 x 6.9 = 17,250 pounds
Material Quantity Variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) x Standard Rate
Material Quantity Variance = (17,250 - 19,250) x $2.60
Material Quantity Variance = $5,200 (Unfavorable)
As the actual raw material quantity used is higher than standard raw material quantity the variance is unfavorable.
2. Labor Variances
Actual Labor Rate = 4,500/450 = $10/hour
Labor Rate Variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) x Actual Hours
Labor Rate Variance = ($7 - $10) x 450
Labor Rate Variance = $1,350 (Unfavorable)
As actual rate is higher than standard rate thus the variance is unfavorable.
Standard Hours = 2,500 x 0.3 = 750
Labor Efficiency Variance = (Standard Hours - Actual Hours) x Standard Rate
Labor Efficiency Variance = (750 - 450) x $7
Labor Efficiency Variance = $2,100 (Favorable)
As the Standard Hours is more than Actual Hours the variance is favorable.
