The standard direct material cost per unit consists of 11 pounds of raw material at $0.7 per pound. During August, 319,770 pounds of raw material were used that were purchased at $0.50 per pound.

Required:
Calculate the materials price variance and materials usage variance for August.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual production in August was 18,810 units.

During August, 319,770 pounds of raw material were used that were purchased at $0.50 per pound.

The standard direct material cost per unit consists of 11 pounds of raw material at $0.7 per pound.

To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (0.7 - 0.5)*319,770

Direct material price variance= $63,954 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Standard quantity= 18,810*11= 206,910

Direct material quantity variance= (206,910 - 319,770)*0.7

Direct material quantity variance= $79,002 unfavorable

You notice that​ Coca-Cola has a stock price of $41.86 and EPS of $1.88. Its competitor PepsiCo has EPS of $3.65. ​But, Jones​ Soda, a small batch​ Seattle-based soda producer has a​ P/E ratio of 34.2. Based on this​ information, what is one estimate of the value of a share of PepsiCo​ stock?

Answers

Answer:

Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $82

Explanation:

Stock price of Coca-cola = $41.86

EPS = $1.88

P/E ratio = MPS / EPS

P/E ratio = $41.86 / 1.88

P/E ratio = 22.27

Jones soda P/E ratio = 34.2

Pepsi Co stock EPS = $3.65

Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = EPS * P/E ratio

Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $3.65 * 22.27

Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $81.2855

Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $82

A firm has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.84, and a return on equity of 16.2 percent. What is the debt-equity ratio

Answers

Answer:

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

Explanation:

The ROE or return on equity can be calculated using the Du Pont equation. It breaks the ROE into three components. The formula for ROE under Du Pont is,

ROE = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Total Assets * Total Assets / Shareholder's equity

or

ROE = Net Income / Total equity

Assuming that sales is $100.

Net Income = 100 * 0.051 = 5.1

Total Assets = 100 / 1.84

Total Assets = 54.35

0.162 = 5.1 / Total equity

Total Equity = 5.1 / 0.162

Total Equity = 31.48

We know that Assets = Debt + Equity

So,

54.35 = Debt + 31.48

Debt = 54.35 - 31.48

Debt = 22.87

Debt / Equity = 22.87 / 31.48

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

Tyler Company applies manufacturing overhead to production at the rate of $4.9 per direct labor hour and ended August with $12,900 underapplied overhead. Actual manufacturing overhead incurred for August amounted to $110,410.
How many direct labor hours did Tyler Company incur during August?

Answers

Answer: 19,900 hours

Explanation:

Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour

Applied Manufacturing Overhead

When the overhead is said to be under-applied, the Applied overhead is less than the Actual Overhead.

To find the Applied overhead therefore;

= Actual Overhead - Under-applied amount

= 110,410 - 12,900

= $97,510

Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour

= 97,510/4.9

= 19,900 hours

Jackson Industries uses a standard cost system in which direct materials inventory is carried at standard cost. Jackson has established the following standards for one unit of product: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct materials 6 pounds $4.30 per pound $25.80 Direct labor 2.40 hours $5.00 per hour $12.00 During May, Jackson purchased 145,600 pounds of direct material at a total cost of $655,200. The total factory wages for May were $258,800, 90 percent of which were for direct labor. Jackson manufactured 21,000 units of product during May using 122,800 pounds of direct material and 50,900 direct labor-hours. The price variance for the direct material acquired by Jackson Industries during May is:

Answers

Answer:

Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard: Direct materials 6 pounds $4.30 per pound $25.80

Actual= Jackson purchased 145,600 pounds of direct material at a total cost of $655,200.

To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 655,200/145,600= $4.5

Direct material price variance= (4.3 - 4.5)*145,600

Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable

Suppose the real risk-free rate is 3.50%,the average future inflation rate is 2.50%, a maturity premium of 0.20% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.20%(t), where t is the years to maturity.

What is the difference in the yields on a 5-year A-rated corporate bond and on a 10-year Treasury bond?

Answers

Answer:

the 5 year A-rated corporate bond yields 0.3% more than the 10-year Treasury bond

Explanation:

the yield of a 10 year treasury bond = real risk free rate + average future inflation rate + (maturity premium x number of years) = 3.5% + 2.5% + (20% x 10 years) = 8%

the yield of a 5 year A-rated corporate bond = real risk free rate + average future inflation rate + liquidity premium + default risk premium + (maturity premium x number of years) = 3.5% + 2.5% + 0.5% + 0.8% + (20% x 5 years) = 8.3%

difference in yields = 8.3% - 8% = 0.3%

CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS/CURRENT LIABILITIES

CURRENT RATIO = $300,000/$200,000

CURRENT RATIO = 1.5 Times

2. Working Capital

WORKING CAPITAL= CURRENT ASSETS- CURRENT LIABILITIES

WORKING CAPITAL= $300,000 - $200,000

WORKING CAPITAL= $100,000

3. Acid ratio

ACID RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS - INVENTORY - PREPAID EXPENSES/CURRENT LIABILITIES

ACID RATIO = ($300,000 - $110,000 - $35,000)/$200,000

ACID RATIO = 0.775 Times

RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = CREDIT SALES/AVERAGE RECEIVABLE

RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = $750,000/$75,000

RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = 10 Times

Working

AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = (Opening receivables+Closing receivables)/2

AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = ($55,000 + $95,000) / 2 = $75,000

5. Inventory Turnover

INVENTORY TURNOVER = COST OF GOODS SOLD / AVERAGE INVENTORY

INVENTORY TURNOVER = $400,000 / $100,000

INVENTORY TURNOVER = 4 Times

Working

AVERAGE INVENTORY = (Opening inventories+Closing inventories)/2

AVERAGE INVENTORY = (110,000 + 90,000)/2

AVERAGE INVENTORY = $100,000

If Tex's Manufacturing Company purchases the component externally, $20,000 of the fixed costs can be avoided. At what external price for the 100 units is the company indifferent between making or buying

Answers

Answer:

$210,000

Explanation:

The computation of the external price is shown below

Making cost =  buying  cost

$120,000 + $25,000 + $45,000 + $30,000) = external price + Unavoidable fixed cost (30,000-20,000)

$220,000 = External price + $10,000

So,

External price = 210,000

Hence, the same is to be considered

Therefore the external price is $210,000

1. What are Red Bull's greatest strengths and risks as more companies (like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Monster) enter the energy drink category and gain market share? 2. Should Red Bull do more traditional advertising? Why or why not? Discuss the effectiveness of Red Bull's sponsorships, for example, Bull Stratos. Is this a good use of Red Bull' marketing budget? Where should the company draw the line?

Answers

Answer:

Strengths

RedBull is a well-established brand in the Energy Drink sub-sector.It has been in existence since 1987 making it a 33-year-old company. That's a lot of experience doing the same thing. Given its years of experience, consumers have a lot of confidence in its brand. This means it has strong brand equity.As of 2019, RedBull still has the highest market share of any energy drink in the world with a record 7.5 billion cans sold

Risks

The challenge is this, Coca-cola is a much older company with about 128 years behind it. It was established in 1892.Coca-cola equally has a very strong brand equityIn the carbonated drinks sub-sector, it has dominated the sector since 2004. It's market share is estimated at 42.5%.It has about 500 brands compared to Redbull which has only one brand.In Pepsi was created in 1893. Just one year younger than Coca-cola. It currently has about 24.9% of the soda market. Within the cola segment alone, it has about 100 flavours.Monster energy as a strong entrant into the energy drink market is only 18 years old and it already has 49 different drinks with about 14% market share worldwide.

Suffice it to say that if Red Bull does not concieve of a critical strategy to maintain market dominance, it may continue to bleed it's market share.

2. Red Bull should do more than traditional advertising.

There is no reason why it can go into the Soda space. There are countries where the big players still exert a huge dominance. Mexico, for instance, consumes the more coca-cola than anywhere else in the world.

Red Bull in addition to keeping it's market share through aggressive advertising, can enter into the soda market, targeting these regions where coca-cola and other players seem to have a pseudo monopoly.

Red Bull can also look at creating more flavours depending on the psychographics of the target market it is looking at.

Bull Stratos

Red Bull Stratos is the official name for the project involving Mr Baumgartner's mission. Mr Baumgartner's project involved a record breaking jump for the ages from the edge of space which cost about USD 30 million. It is on record that this is nothing like what Red Bull have ever done before and it did so at a fraction of it's annual sports marketing which is estimated at about USD 300 Million.

To answer the question about its effectiveness, its definitely yes.

Over 8 million people saw the jump which had the Red Bull logo/ branding conspicuously displayed. It was dubbed "the most successful Public Relations campaign of year 2012."

The line will always be dictated by the metrics which show returns on marketing budget invested.

Any strategy that currently works to enhance the brand of Red Bull or at least keep its dominance over the energy drink market, must be explored.

= 50% * 15,922

= 7,961

Units Produced = Ending Finished goods - Beginning Finished goods + Budgeted Sales

= 7,790.5‬ -  7,961 + 15,922

= 15,751.5 units

Zapper has beginning equity of $293,000, net income of $69,000, dividends of $58,000 and stockholder investments of $24,000. Its ending equity is:

Answers

Answer:

$328,000

Explanation:

As we all know that:

Ending Equity = Opening Equity + Share Issues + Net Income – Net Loss – Dividends Paid

Here,

Opening Equity is $293,000

Money raised through Shares Issuance was $24,000

Net Income would be $69,000

Dividends paid were $58,000

There were no losses as their is Profit for the year (Net Income).

By putting values, we have:

Ending Equity = $293,000  +  $24,000   +  $69,000   -  $58,000

= $328,000

Answers

Answer:

$120,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the total relevant cost of producing the units internally

Using this formula

Total relevant cost = Variable costs per unit*Units Produce

Let plug in the formula

Total relevant cost=$12 per unit* 10,000 units

Total relevant cost=$120,000

Therefore the total relevant cost of producing the units internally will be $120,000

Answers

Answer:

In the United States, Monetary Policy is implemented by the - 4. Federal Reserve

The Federal Reserve of the United States is in charge of implementing the Monetary Policy of the country. It is also in charge of regulating the financial industry, and acting as lender of the last result to prevent financial crisis.

3. Expansionary MonetaryPolicy - can be used to address a Recessionary Gap

During times of economic downturn, monetary policy tends to be expansionary: expanding the money supply to lower the interest rate, so that investment becomes cheaper, and the economy reactivates.

1. Contractionary Monetary Policy - can be used to address an Inflationary Gap.

When the money supply is too high, or has grown too fast, inflation often starts. For this reason, the fed usually implements contractionary monetary policy (less money supply, higher interest rate), in order to keep inflation from increasing.

c. To enact Contractionary Monetary Policy, the central bank will - sell bonds

When the fed sell bonds, it takes money from the market, reducing the money supply.

This - reduces - the amount of cash in the economy.

As explained above.

This will cause bond prices to - fall - and interest rates to - rise

The change in interest rates causes investment and consumption to - fall

shifting - Aggregate Demand

Contractionary monetary policy will cause interest rates to rise, making investment more expensive, and causing price hikes, this will reduce consumption.

This in turn will shift the Aggregate Demand curve to the left or inward.

On January 1, 2017 , Northeast USA Transportation Company purchased a used aircraft at a cost of $ 53,200,000. Northeast USA expects the plane to remain useful for five years (6,500,000 miles) and to have a residual value of $ 5,200,000.

Answers

Answer:

1. Compute Northeast USA​'s depreciation for the first two years on the plane using the​ straight-line method, the​units-of-production method, and the​ double-declining balance method.

a. Straight-line method Using the straight-line method, depreciation is $9,600,000

straight line depreciation = ($53,200,000 - $5,200,000) / 5 = $9,600,000

depreciation expense year 1 = $9,600,000

depreciation expense year 2 = $9,600,000

b. Units-of-production method (Round the depreciation per unit of output to two decimal places to compute your final answers.) Using the units-of-production method, depreciation is $7.384615 per mile

depreciation expense per unit of production = ($53,200,000 - $5,200,000) / 6,500,000 = $7.384615 per mile

depreciation expense year 1 = $7.384615 x 900,000 = $6,646,153.50

depreciation expense year 2 = $7.384615 x 1,400,000 = $10,338,461

c. Double-declining balance method

depreciation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/5 x $53,200,000 = $21,280,000

depreciation expense year 2 = 2 x 1/5 x $31,920,000 = $12,768,000

Baker's product manager continues to perform well in the market. However, a competing product is coming on strong and is looking to take over as the market share leader in the segment. Without sacrificing contribution margin, what can the Baker product manager do in order to improve upon the buying criteria, and thus potentially increase demand

Answers

Question options :

Increase MTBF by 2000

Reposition Cake to make it even smaller and higher performing

Increase the promotion budget to gain greater awareness

Lower the selling price since it is the second most important buying criteria

Answer:

Increase the promotion budget to gain greater awareness

Explanation:

In this case, some managers might consider reducing price and may be affecting contribution margin in this way(because selling price/profit is reduced and price- variable cost =contribution margin). While price reduction might be a good strategy to compete in the market, it might not be the best option here. in order to increase demand in a case such as this, the manager should consider increasing product awareness so as to reach more potential buyers and increase market share compared to competitors.

if average demand for invenrory item is 200 units per day lead time is three days and safety stock is 1-- units the reorder point is

Answers

please do you mean 1 unit for safety stock or 100 units, will solve for both

Answer:when safety stock =1, Reorder point= 601 units

when safety stock =100,  Reorder point= 700 units

Explanation:

Reorder Point (ROP), also called  reorder level, is the point  of inventoryset by a busness  in which it replenishes its stock of items.

given:

Average demand= 200

lead time = 3

when safety stock =1

Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock

                = (200 x 3 ) +1 = 601 units

when safety stock = 100

   Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock

                = (200 x 3 ) +100 = 700 units
