Answer:
overhead applied to the job.
Explanation:
The formula to determine the predetermined overhead rate is given below:
Predetermined overhead rate is
= Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ estimated activity level
Now when the predetermined overhead rate calculated after that we multiplied the rate with the actual allocation base in order to determine the applied overhead to the job
A taxpayer's spouse dies in August of the current year. Which of the following is the taxpayer's filing status for the current year?
a. Single.
b. Qualified widow(er).
c. Married filing jointly.
d. Head of household.
Answer:
b. Married filling jointly
Explanation:
From the question we are informed about taxpayer's spouse who dies in August of the current year. In this case,
the taxpayer's filing status for the current year would be Married filling jointly. Joint return can be regarded as tax return which is been filed with the Internal Revenue Service by two married taxpayers that decide to have a filing status of "married filing jointly" or a widowed taxpayer that decide to have a filing status of " Qualifying Widow "A joint return give room for the
taxpayers to join their tax liability as well as report their income, credits and
deductions on the same joint return.
The joint return rates still validly
apply even two year after the death of a particular spouse, so far the
surviving spouse of the dead spouse does not remarry and still maintains a household as regards a dependent child.
Benny is the manager of an office-support business that supplies copying, binding, and other services for local companies. He must replace a worn-out copy machine that is used for black-and-white copying. He is considering two machines, and each of these has a monthly lease cost plus a cost for each page that is copied. Machine 1 has a monthly lease cost of $619, and there is a cost of $0.030 per page copied. Machine 2 has a monthly lease cost of $675, and there is a cost of $0.028 per page copied. Customers are charged $.16 per page copied. If Benny expects to make 105,000 copies per month, what would be the monthly cost for each machine
Answer:
Machine one cost:
= Fixed cost + Variable cost
The Fixed cost is the lease cost and the variable cost is the cost per page copied. The number of pages is 105,000 and the cost per page for machine 1 is $0.030
= 619 + (0.030 * 105,000)
= $3,769 monthly
Machine two cost:
= 675 + (0.028 * 105,000)
= $3,615 monthly

Clay is a marketing student learning how to evaluate value propositions for effectiveness. He looked through ten different propositions and found them to all be ineffective. What elements did he mostly likely identify as the reasons for their ineffectiveness?
Answer: they were generic, and they had no unique value communicated
Explanation:
Value proposition refers to the promise
that's made by an organization to its customers indicating why a product should be bought.
Since Clay looked through ten different propositions and found them to all be ineffective, the reason attributed to this will be due to the fact that the propositions were generic, and had no unique value communicated.
Alpha Inc. and Beta Co. are sheet metal processors that supply component parts for consumer product manufacturers. Alpha has been in business since 1985 and is operating in its original plant facilities. Much of its equipment was acquired in the 80s and 90s. Beta Co. was started two years ago and acquired its building and equipment then. Each firm has about the same sales revenue, and material and labor costs are about the same for each firm.
What would you expect Alpha’s ROI to be relative to the ROI of Beta Co.? Explain your answer.
What are the implications of this ROI difference for a firm seeking to enter an established industry?
Answer: A. Higher
B. The implication for Beta Co. is that because of its lower ROI, its ability to raise capital will be reduced.
Explanation:
a. What would you expect Alpha’s ROI to be relative to the ROI of Beta Co.? Explain your answer.
In this case, Alpha’s ROI to be relative to the ROI of Beta Co. will be higher. Since Alpha's investment cost is lower when compared to that of ‘Beta Co. while both companies have thesame operating income, then the return on investment of Alpha will then be higher than that of Beta due to the lower investment cost that Alpha incurred.
b. What are the implications of this ROI difference for a firm seeking to enter an established industry?
The implication for Beta Co. is that because of its lower ROI, its ability to raise capital will be reduced.

Periwinkle Manufacturing Company has the following budgeted costs for 10,000 units: Variable Costs Fixed CostsManufacturing $200,000 $75,000 Selling & Administrative 100,000 25,000Total $300,000 $100,000What is the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $200,000 using the variable cost markup method?A. $30.B. $55.C. $60.D. $50.
Answer:
C. $60
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $200,000 using the variable cost markup method
Using this formula
Contribution margin = (Selling price x Units produced) - Variable costs
Profit = Contribution - Fixed costs
Profit = $200,000
Fixed costs = $100,000
Variable costs = $300,000
$200,000 = Contribution -$100,000
Contribution=$200,000+$100,000
Contribution = $300,000
$300,000 = (Selling price x 10,000 units)-$300,000
Selling price=$300,000+$300,000/10,000 units
Selling price =$600,000 /10,000 units
Selling price = $60
Therefore the initial selling price that is needed to obtain a target profit of $200,000 using the variable cost markup method is $60

Given D: Annual use of a particular item, in number of items per year Q: Number of items ordered in one purchase order, in units SS: Safety stock, in units L: Lead time, in fraction of a year I: Current inventory on hand, units Reorder point can be expressed as ______ (x below denotes the multiplication sign).
Answer:
D×L + SS
Explanation:
The reorder point (ROP) is the inventories or stock level for a certain product that, when attained, initiates the reordering of more inventories. The lead time it will take to refill inventories is taken in when computing the reorder points for different stock holding units. This ensures inventory levels do not approach zero.
Computing reorder points necessitates a thorough understanding of purchase habits over a specific time period. The more ROP you compute for each product, the better you'll be able to anticipate future demand and guarantee you're using the reorder quantity calculation appropriately.
From the given information in the question:
The reorder point can be determined by using the formula:
Reorder point = Demand (D) at the point of leas time (L) with the addition of safety stock (SS)
Reorder point = D×L + SS
Menning Inc. uses a job-order costing system in which any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold at the end of the month. The company has provided the following data for June:
Direct materials $78,750
Direct labor cost $94,000
Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $61,275
Manufacturing overhead cost applied $65,800
Inventories: Beginning Ending
Work in process $17,500 $19,850
Finished goods $61,500 $38,250
The cost of goods sold that appears on the income statement for August and that has been adjusted for any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closest to: __________
a. $254,925
b. $263,975
c. $236,200
d. $259,450
Answer:
Adjusted COGS= $254,925
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 17,500 + 78,750 + 94,000 + 65,800 - 19,850
cost of goods manufactured= $236,200
Now, the COGS:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 61,500 + 236,200 - 38,250
COGS= $259,450
Finally, the over/under applied overhead and the adjustment:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 61,275 - 65,800
Overapplied overhead= $4,525
As overhead was overapplied, COGS must be reduced:
Adjusted COGS= 259,450 - 4,525
Adjusted COGS= $254,925
Ortega Company manufactures computer hard drives. The market for hard drives is very competitive. The current market price for a computer hard drive is $54. Ortega would like a profit of $14 per drive. What target cost Ortega should set to accomplish this objective
Answer:
$40
Explanation:
Target cost is the cost per unit arrived at after having deducted the required profit margin from the competitive market price.
It is a management technique that makes management think about ways to achieve a set target cost rather than forcing their actual cost plus profit margin on customers.
In this case, the competitive market price is $54 per unit of hard drive whereas the company expects to achieve a total profit of $14 per unit
Profit margin per unit=$14
competitive market price=$54
Target cost=competitive market price-profit margin per unit
Target cost=$54-$14
Target cost=$40
The three steps which will create triangular arbitrage profit are as follows: first step, convert ____; second step, convert _______, and third step, convert ______.
a) USD to GBP; CHF to GBP; CHF to USD
b) USD to GBP; GBP to CHF; CHF to USD
c) USD to CHF; GBP to CHF; GBP to USD
d) USD to CHF; CHF to GBP; GBP to USD
Answer:
The correct option is b) USD to GBP; GBP to CHF; CHF to USD.
Explanation:
A triangular arbitrage can be described as the act of taking advantage of a foreign exchange market arbitrage opportunity created by a pricing difference between three different currencies.
A triangle arbitrage method entails three deals, with the first currency being converted to a second, the second currency being converted to a third, and the third currency being converted to the first.
In the question, USD is the first currency, GBP is the second currency, and CHF is the third currency. Based on the explanation above, the three steps which will create triangular arbitrage profit are as follows: first step, convert USD to GBP; second step, convert GBP to CHF, and third step, convert CHF to USD.
Therefore, the correct option is b) USD to GBP; GBP to CHF; CHF to USD.
The present value of a perpetual tax shield increases as the firm's tax rate ________ and as the amount of the debt ________.
a. increases; increases
b. increases; decreases
c. decreases; decreases
d. decreases; increases
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The value of tax shield is simply given as corporate tax rate times the cost of debt times the market value of debt.
If the debt is constant and perpetual, the company’s tax shield depends only on the corporate tax rate and the value of debt. Then the present value of tax shield equals the discounted value of debt
You have decided to invest in two bonds. Bond X is an n-year bonod with semiannual coupons, while bond Y is zero-coupon bond, which is re- deemable in 2 years. The desired yield rate is the same for both bonds. You also have the following information:
Bond X:
Par value is 1000.
The ratio of the semi-annual bond rate to the desired semi-annual yield rate, that is is r/i 1.03125.
b. The present value of the redemption amount is 381.50.
Bond Y:
Redemption value is the same as that of bond X.
Price to yield is 647.80.
What is the price of bond X?
Answer:
The price of the bond X is 1055.09.
Explanation:
The price of Bond X can be determined as follows:
Let:
R = Present value of the Redemption amount of X and Y
i = yield of both Bond X and Bond Y
For Bond X, we have:
381.5 = R / (1+i)n ………………… (1)
For Bond Y, we have:
647.80. = R/(1+i)(n/2) ……………….. (2)
Use equation (2) to divide equation (1), we have:
381.5/647.8 = 1/ (1+i)(n/2) ……………………….. (3)
0.588916332201297= 1/ (1+i)(n/2)
(1+i)(n/2) = 1 / 0.588916332201297
(1+i)(n/2) = 1.69803407601573
647.80 = R / 1.69803407601573
R = 647.80 * 1.69803407601573 = 1,099.99, or 1,100
Now, also let:
r = coupon rate of Bond X
P= present value of Cash flows of Bond X
Therefore, we have:
P = 1000 * (r/2) / (1+i)0.5 + 1000*(r/2)/ (1+i)1+....+1000 * (r/2) /(1+i)n+ 1100/(1+i)n
It can be observed that we have 2n terms indicating present value of 2n semiannual coupon payments and last term is present value of Redemption amount.
Applying GP formula, we have:
P = 1000 *(r/2) * (1- (1+i)-n) / ((1+i)(1/2) -1) + 1100 * (1+i)-n
Looking at equation (3), we it can be observed that we can have:
(1+i)-(n/2) = 381.5/647.8 = 0.588916
Therefore, we have:
(1+i)-n = 0.5889162= 0.346822
By employing the Binomial approximation, we have:
(1+i)(1/2)= 1+i/2+... very small terms = 1 + i/2
This indicates that:
(1+i)(1/2)-1 = i/2
If we substitute this into the price equation, we will have
P = 1000 *(r/2) * (1-0.346822) / ( i/2) + 1100 * 0.346822 = 1000 * (r/i) * 0.653178 + 381.504
Since r/i = 1.03125, we have:
P = 653.178 * 1.03125 + 381.504 = 1055.09
Therefore, the price of the bond X is 1055.09.

Which answer does not describe the benefits to the industry-wide practice of localization?
a) It is only used in the game industry
b) It creates wide audience appeal
c) It is time-saving
d) It is cost-effective
Answer:
a) It is only used in the game industry
Explanation:
The statement that does not describe the benefits to the industry-wide practice of localization is that "It is only used in the game industry."
This because Localization in business or industry practice is a means or process of modifying a product or service to fulfill the needs of a specific area or locality in terms of language, culture, or targeted population's perceptions.
Hence, it doesn't apply to the GAME INDUSTRY alone but rather to every industry.
Also, there are lots of advantages of Localization of products, which includes wide acceptance across the targeted audience, time-saving, as it focuses on a particular region, and cost-effective as the target population can be easily satisfied compared to satisfy global market all in one product make up style.
Diamond Boot Factory normally sells its specialty boots for $22 a pair. An offer to buy 100 boots for $15 per pair was made by an organization hosting a national event in Norfolk. The variable cost per boot is $9, and special stitching will add another $1 per pair to the cost.
Determine the differential income or loss per pair of boots from selling to the organization.
Answer: $5.00
Explanation:
Differential income per pair is:
= Revenue per pair - Total cost per pair
= Selling price of pair - (Variable cost + Additional stitching cost)
= 15 - (9 + 1)
= 15 - 10
= $5.00
Summer 20 Corp estimates overhead based on direct labor hours and has given you the following information:
Estimated Manufacturing Overhead Costs 2020 $405,000
Estimated Direct Labor Hours for 2020 220,000
Actual Direct Labor Hours for 2020 202,000
Manufacturing Overhead Account Debit Entries total $380,000
1. Determine the predetermined overhead allocation rate stated with cents.
2. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead that was allocated.
3. Calculate the amount Summer 20 Corp is over or under allocated during the year.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 405,000 / 220,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.841 per DLH
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.841*202,000
Allocated MOH= $371,882
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 380,000 - 371,882
Underapplied overhead= $8,118

When making business changes in the short run, management sometimes gets locked in to certain costs arising from previous decisions. This is type of cost is best known as:_______.
a. controllable.
b. differential.
c. uncontrollable.
d. sunk.
Answer: This is the type of cost known as Sunk.
sunk cost is a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. Sunk costs are contrasted with prospective costs, which are future costs that may be avoided if action is taken.A sunk cost refers to money that has already been spent and which cannot be recovered. ... Sunk costs are excluded from future business decisions because the cost will remain the same regardless of the outcome of a decision.The sunk cost effect is manifested in a greater tendency to continue an endeavor once an investment in money, effort, or time has been made. Evidence that the psychological justification for this behavior is predicated on the desire not to appear wasteful is presented.Joan Martin expects interest rates to decline over the next few months.To achieve her long-term financial goals,she will trade off liquidity for a higher return by using a:_________.
A) regular savings account.
B) interest-bearing checking account.
C) five-year certificate of deposit.
D) money market account.
E) money market fund.
Answer: C. Five year certificate of deposit.
Explanation:
A certificate of deposit refers to a savings account whereby a fixed amount of money is being held for a fixed period of time, and interest is earned on it.
Since Joan Martin expects interest rates to decline over the next few months, in order to achieve her long-term financial goals, then she will trade off liquidity for a higher return by using a five year certificate of deposit.

Pasadena Candle Inc. projected sales of 800,000 candles for January. The estimated January 1 inventory is 35,000 units, and the desired January 31 inventory is 20,000 units. What is the budgeted production (in units) for January?
Answer:
785,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the budgeted production (in units) for January
BUDGETED PRODUCTION (in units) FOR JANUARY
Expected units to be sold 800000
Add Desired ending inventory, Dec 31 20000
Total units available 820000
(800,000+20,000)
Less Estimated beginning inventory, Jan 1 (35000)
Total units to be produced 785000
(820,000-35,000)
Therefore the budgeted production (in units) for January is 785,000

What is the effective annual rate of interest on the bonds?
a. 9.0%.
b. 4.5%.
c. 8.0%.
d. 4.0%.
Answer:
The correct option a. 9.0%.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Effective semiannual interest rate = Effective interest / Previous outstanding balance ……………………. (1)
Using Payment 1 information, we have:
Effective semiannual interest rate = 409 / 9,080 = 0.0450, or 4.50%
Effective annual interest rate = Effective semiannual interest rate * Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.50% * 2 = 9.0%
Therefore, the correct option a. 9.0%.
