A bakery buys sugar from a big distributor to use in baking cakes. Typically, they use 3663 bags of sugar in a year. The price of sugar is typically $14 per bag. The cost to the bakery for placing an order is $26, and the annual carrying cost is $17 per bag. The distributor has offered the bakery the following volume discount schedule: Order Size Discount rate on the original price 1--449 0 percent 450--799 5 percent more than 800 10 percent We are trying to find how many bags of sugar should the store order, whenever they place a new order of sugar.Assume 364 days a year and 52 weeks a year. IMPORTANT: Note, the discounts off of original price are reported. You need to calculate the actual prices. Keep two decimal places in your calculations.If we ignore the discounts, how many bags of sugar should we order
Stone Company changed its method of pricing inventories from FIFO to LIFO. What type of accounting change does this represent? A change in accounting estimate for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be restated. A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported. A change in accounting estimate for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported. A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be restated.
Answer:
A change in accounting principle for which the financial statements for prior periods included for comparative purposes should be presented as previously reported.
Explanation:
Since the accounting method is being changed from FIFO to LIFO, any adjusting of prior year balances would be impractical. If the change is from LIFO to FIFO, then it makes more sense to adjust prior year balances. By impractical, it means that any changes would be too difficult and expensive to determine, and the value of the change is insignificant (materiality principle).
Generally US GAAP rules require that changes from FIFO to LIFO be disclosed in the footnotes only.
Alpine Thrills Ski Company recently expanded its manufacturing capacity. The firm will now be able to produce up to 32,000 pairs of cross-country skis of either the mountaineering model or the touring model. The sales department assures management that it can sell between 26,000 and 30,000 units of either product this year. Because the models are very similar, the company will produce only one of the two models.
The following information was compiled by the accounting department.
Model
Mountaineering Touring
Selling price per unit $ 149.00 $ 137.00
Variable costs per unit 87.70 87.70
Fixed costs will total $622,400 if the mountaineering model is produced but will be only $526,200 if the touring model is produced. Alpine Thrills Ski Company is subject to a 50 percent income tax rate.
Required:
Compute the contribution-margin ratio for the touring model. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
If Alpine Thrills Ski Company desires an after-tax net income of $41,620, how many pairs of touring skis will the company have to sell? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole unit.)
How much would the variable cost per unit of the touring model have to change before it had the same break-even point in units as the mountaineering model? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Suppose the variable cost per unit of touring skis decreases by 15 percent, and the total fixed cost of touring skis increases by 15 percent. Compute the new break-even point. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer up to nearest whole unit.)
Answer:
35.98%
12,362 pairs
$2.53
9,688 pairs
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
1)
As we know that
Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin per unit) ÷ (Selling price per unit) × 100
where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit\
So,
Selling price = $137.00
Variable cost = $87.70
Contribution Margin = $137.00 - $87.70 = $49.30
Contribution margin ratio = $49.30 ÷ $137.00
= 35.98%
2)
Net Income after tax = $41,620
Income Before tax = $41,620 ÷ 50%
= $83,240
Now Pairs of touring skis will be sold by company = (Income before tax + fixed cost) ÷ Contribution Margin
= ($83,240 + $526,200) ÷ $49.30
= 12,362 pairs
3)
Break-even of mountaineering model
= Fixed cost ÷ (Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit)
= $622,400 ÷ ($149 - $87.70)
= $10,153
Now Let Variable cost be Y
$10,153 = $526,200 ÷ ($137 - Y)
Y = $85.17
Therefore, Variable cost per unit decreased by
= ($87.70 - $85.17)
= $2.53
4)
New Fixed cost
= Fixed cost × increased percentage
= $526,200 × 1.15
= $605,130
New variable cost per unit
= $87.70 × 0.85
= $74.54
New Break-even point = New Fixed cost ÷ Contribution Margin
= $605,130 ÷ ($137-$74.54)
= 9,688 pairs

Select a publicly traded firm of your choice that enjoys a large shareholder base. What challenges may this firm have encountered (or is likely to encounter) in terms of (a) incorporating ethics into financial management practices, and (b) maintaining/sustaining ethical practices in the face of internal or external (market) pressures? Frame your response relative to the financial manager's fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder's wealth.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
The publicly traded firm of my choice is Amazon.
a. Amazon would in its initial phase have encountered challenges as a result of the inculcating of financial management practises. At the beginning, the founders and the employees may not be willing to disclose all the profits on their books of accounts.
Also, the use of debt might not be taken as a healthy sign at the beginning. The preparation of statement of position might not be taken seriously and the internal control mechanisms will have been challenging to put up and also keep accountability.
b. It would have been really difficult for managers to sustain best practises during pressures. Also, stakeholders due to their personal goals might not allow finance manager to independently work. The pressure to exhibit certain level of sales or profit may also be there.
Furthermore, the lagging or leading of expenses might be done to show
lesser or higher profit. A materially price sensitive information might not be disclosed or reported. Finally, the extent of any loss might also not be reported as a result of internal pressures.
The classical dichotomy and the neutrality of money
The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables. The following questions test your understanding of this distinction.
Maria spends all of her money on paperback novels and beignets. In 2011 she earned $27.00 per hour, the price of a paperback novel was $9.00, and the price of a beignet was $3.00.
Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable?
1-The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011.
2-Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011.
3-The price of a beignet is 0.33 paperback novels in 2011.
Which of the following give the real value of a variable?
1-The price of a paperback novel is 3 beignets in 2011.
2-Maria's wage is 9 beignets per hour in 2011.
3-The price of a paperback novel is $9.00 in 2011.
Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2011 and 2016. In 2016, Maria's wage has risen to $54.00 per hour. The price of a paperback novel is $18.00 and the price of a beignet is $6.00.
In 2016, the relative price of a paperback novel is _________
Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value of Maria's wage (increases/decreases/remains the same) and the real value of her wage ____________
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply ________ nominal variables and ______ real variables.
Answer:
1. Relative price = $3
2. Increases
3. affects , not affect
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
1) The relative price of a paperback novel in 2016 = Maria,s wage ÷ Price of a paperback novel
= $54÷$18
= $3
2) Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value increases and the real value of Maria's wage remains the same.
3)Monetary neutrality is proposition that the change in the money supply affects the nominal variables but it does not affect the real variables.

Explanation:
Goodmark Company
Scented Cards Regular Cards Total
Units produced 20,000 200,000 -
Prime costs $160,000 $1,500,000 $1,660,000
Direct labor hours 20,000 160,000 180,000
Number of setups 60 40 100

Inspection hours 2,000 16,000 18,000
Number of moves 180 120 300
First we find the rate by dividing the overhead costs with the corresponding cost driver as follows.
Overhead costs: Rate
Setting up equipment $240,000 = Setting up equipment / Number of setups=$240,000/100=2400
Moving materials 120,000 = Moving materials/Number of moves
120,000/300=400
Machine 200,000 = Machining/Machine hours
= 200,000/ 90,000=2.222
Inspecting 160,000 = Inspection/Inspection hours
= 160,000/18000= 8.89
Now we find the overhead applied to the scented cards by multiplying the rate to the corresponding overhead activity of the scented cards.
Activity Rate Scented Cards
Setups: 2400 2400*60=$ 144,000
Moving materials: 400 400*180= $72000
Machining: 2.22 2.22*10,000=$22,200
Inspection: 8.89 8.89*2000= $17,777.78
A division is considering the acquisition of a new asset that will cost $2,950,000 and have a cash flow of $740,000 per year for each of the four years of its life. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis with no salvage value. Ignore taxes. Required: a. & b. What is the ROI for each year of the asset's life if the division uses beginning-of-year asset balances and net book value for the computation? What is the residual income each year if the cost of capital is 8 percent?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of ROI for each year of the asset's life and residual income each year is shown below:-
Year Investment base ROI Residual income
1 $2,950,000 8% -$233,500
2 $2,212,500 11% -$233,500
3 $1,475,000 17% -$115,500
4 $737,500 34% -$56,500
ROI = Net income ÷ Total investment × 100
Net Income = Cash flow - Depreciation
Residual income = Net income - (Investment × Cost of capital)
Depreciation = Investment base ÷ 4 years
The return on investment and the residual income can be find out by using the excel spreadsheet. Kindly find it in the attachment

Suppose that the standard deviation of monthly changes in the price of commodity A is $2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in a futures price for a contract on commodity B (which is similar to commodity A) is $3. The correlation between the futures price and the commodity price is 0.9. What hedge ratio should be used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A
Answer:
0.6
Explanation:
Correlation r = 0.9,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3
The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula
Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB
Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3
Hedge ratio = 0.6
Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.

Elgin Battery Manufacturers had sales of $1,000,000 in 2009 and their cost of goods sold represented 70 percent of sales. Selling and administrative expenses were 10 percent of sales. Depreciation expense was $100,000 and interest expense for the year was $10,000. The firm's tax rate is 30 percent. What is the dollar amount of taxes paid
Answer:
$27,000
Explanation:
The dollar amount of taxes paid is the earnings before tax multiplied by the tax rate.
The earnings before tax=sales-costs of sale-selling and administrative expenses-depreciation expense-interest expense
sales is $1,000,000
costs of sales=$1000,000*70%=$700,000
selling and administrative expenses=10%*$1,000,000=$100,000
depreciation expense=$100,000
interest expense=$10,000
earnings before tax=$1,000,000-$700,000-$100,000-$100,000-$10,000=$90,000
taxes paid=$90000 *30%=$27,000

Frederick Company has two service departments (Cafeteria Services & Maintenance). Frederick has two production departments (Assembly Department & Packaging Department.) Frederick uses a step allocation method where Cafeteria Services is allocated to all departments and Maintenance Services is allocated to the production departments. All allocations are based on total employees. Cafeteria Services has costs of $255,000 and Maintenance has costs of $175,000 before any allocations. What amount of Maintenance total cost is allocated to the Packaging Department? (round to closest whole dollar) Employees are: Cafeteria Services 4 Maintenance 5 Assembly Department 10 Packaging Department 10
Answer:
The Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department is $87,500
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
The Total Maintenance cost is $175,000 before allocation.
Total employees of in Production Department is= 10 Assembly + 10 Packaging= 20
Hence, Total maintenance cost per employee = $175,000 / 20
Total maintenance cost per employee =$8,750
Therefore, the Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department= Total maintenance cost per employee× Employees Packaging Department
Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department=$ 8,750 X 10 employees= $87,500
A bidding firm, A, is worth $27,000 as a stand-alone entity. A target firm, B, is worth $12,000 as a stand-alone entity, but $18,000 if it is acquired and integrated with Firm A. Several other firms are interested in acquiring Firm B, and Firm B is also worth $18,000 if it is acquired by these other firms. If A acquired B, would this acquisition create value? If yes, how much? How much of this value would the equity holders of A receive? How much would the equity holders of B receive?
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Firm A’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $27,000
Firm B’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $12,000
But if Firm A acquired Firm B it’s increase worth of Firm B at $18000.
Firm A is acquired Firm B, this acquisition create value of
= $18,000 - $12000
= $6000.
With this acquisition equity holders of Firms received $18,000 which is $6,000 more than Firm B stand alone.
If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.
Answer:
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Explanation:
Given:
Retained earnings = $2.7 million
Common shares account = $4.7 million
Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million
Stock dividend = 10%
Find:
Changes in account.
Computation:
1. Change in retained earnings
Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
2. Change in common shares account
Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)
Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
3. Change in additional paid-in capital
Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Suppose the interest rate is 4.3 %. a. Having $ 400 today is equivalent to having what amount in one year? b. Having $ 400 in one year is equivalent to having what amount today? c. Which would you prefer, $ 400 today or $ 400 in one year? Does your answer depend on when you need the money? Why or why not? a. Having $ 400 today is equivalent to having what amount in one year?
Answer: a. $417.2. b. $383.51. c. $400 today.
Explanation:
a. Present value = $400
Interest rate = 4.3%
Future value= PV(1+r)^n
= 400(1+0.043)^1
= 400(1.043)
= $417.2
b. FV = $400
PV = Unknown
Interest = 4.3%
Future value= PV(1+r)^n
400 = PV(1+0.043)^1
400 = PV(1.043)
PV = 400/1.043
PV = $383.51
c. I'll prefer $400 today.
My answer does not depend on me needing money presently, I can actually invest the $400 today and get more value when it's a year. I'll have made more than $400.
Check all true statements regarding CMBS:
a.CMBS have less exposure to prepayment risk than RMBS
b.Loans in a CMBS deal are recourse loans The multifamily/apartment CRE sector never uses CMBS for financing as it relies on RMBS
c.CMBS are the main source of financing for commercial real estate loans
d.The number of commercial mortgages in a CMBS deal are usually lower than the number of residential mortgage in a RMBS deal
Answer: A and D only
Explanation:
CMBS Loan are also referred to as a Conduit Loan, this is a type of real estate loan usually commercial, which is secured by a first-position mortgage on a commercial property. These loans are usually packaged, and sold by a Conduit Lender, commercial banks, investment banks, and syndicates of banks.
Loans in a CMBS are always bigger so they are less in a CMBS deal. Sometimes it’s onlyone loan in a Single Asset (SA) CMBS deal
Prepayments are discouraged in CMBS through defeasance,prepayment penalties or yield maintenance fees.
Answer:
a.CMBS have less exposure to prepayment risk than RMBS
d. The number of commercial mortgages in a CMBS deal are usually lower than the number of residential mortgage in a RMBS deal
Explanation:
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) as the name implies are mortgage backed securities that are secured with commercial mortgages while Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) are mortgage backed securities secured by residential property.
a) CMBS are based on mortgages which usually have a fixed term contract in place meaning that prepayment is less of a thing with CMBS than with RMBS so the former does indeed have a less exposure to prepayment risk than the latter.
d) This is indeed true because both packages have to look appealing to investors but can only use different amounts to reach the minimum threshold. This is because Commercial Mortgages pay more than Residential Mortgages so more RMBS have to be pulled together to form an attractive investment as opposed to CMBS. This is why the number in CMBS are usually less than that of RMBS.

Selling price per unit $185 $160
Manufacturing variable cost per unit $60 $60
Selling and administrative variable cost per unit $20 $20
Contribution margin per unit(CMPU)= $105 $80
(sale price - variable cost)
Contribution margin $2,625,000 $456,000 $3,081,000
(sale units × CMPU)
Manufacturing fixed cost $700,000 $700,000
Selling and administrative fixed cost $250,000 $250,000
Net operating income $1,675,000 $2,131,000

If variance is zero, select "Not Applicable" and enter 0 for the amounts.)
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $12,575 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Last year, the company’s direct labor payroll totaled $352,100 for 50,300 direct labor hours. The standard wage rate is $6.75 per direct labor hour.
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 352,100/50,300= $7 per hour
Direct labor rate variance= (6.75 - 7)*50,300
Direct labor rate variance= $12,575 unfavorable
During the month of June, Whispering Boutique recorded cash sales of $302,810 and credit sales of $130,219, both of which include the 7% sales tax that must be remitted to the state by July 15. Prepare the adjusting entry that should be recorded to fairly present the June 30 financial statements.
