Answer:
Vans
To keep its dealer network intact and supportive even after opening a corporate store in their market,
Vans should not compete directly with its dealer network stores, especially based on lower prices. It must ensure that its prices are at similar levels with those offered by its dealers.
Explanation:
Vans can also differentiate the products in the corporate store from those offered by the dealer networks. It can offer its products for bulker purchases than those offered by the dealers. It can also inform its dealers that the corporate store in their market exists to offer close-by support to the dealers instead of competing with them. The corporate store may be a way to undertaking extensive advertisements and publicity that will rub off favorably on the dealers.
Alpha Enterprises currently operates 8 warehouses and holds a total inventory of 3,600 units. They want to reduce their inventory to 1,800 units. They should reduce the number of warehouses to:
Answer:
4 warehouses
Explanation:
Total warehouse = 8
Total inventory = 3,600 units
Units per warehouse = Total inventory /Total warehouse
Units per warehouse = 3,600 / 8
Units per warehouse = 450
Now, Alpha Enterprises wants to reduce their inventory to 1,800 units, the number of warehouse should then be:
= 1,800 units / 450 units
= 4 warehouses.

Suppose that it costs $400 per day to search for chanterelle mushrooms at Pt. Reyes National Seashore. On an average day, the total weight of mushrooms M found at Pt. Reyes is M=100x-x^2 pounds ,where X is the number of people mushroom hunting on that day. Chanterelles can be sold for $90 per pound. How many more people will go mushroom hunting than is socially optimal?
Answer: 48
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to solve the marginal product which will be:
= dM/dx
= d(100x - x²)/dx
= 100-2x
At socially optimal level, it should be noted that:
Price × Marginal Product = Cost
90 × (100-2x) = 400
9000 - 1800x = 400
1800x = 9000 - 400
1800x = 8600
x = 8600/180
x = 47.77
x = 48
Therefore, the optimal number of workers will be 48.

Angle Company started business on January 1. During the year, the company purchased merchandise with an invoice price of $500,000. Angle also paid $20,000 freight on the merchandise. During the year, Angle also returned $80,000 of the merchandise to its suppliers. All purchases were paid for in a timely manner, and a $10,000 cash discount was taken. $418,000 of the merchandise was sold for $627,000. What is the December 31 balance in the Inventory account
Answer:
$12,000
Explanation:
Given the above information, the ending balance in inventory account is computed as seen below
= Merchandise purchased - merchandise withdrawn - Merchandise returned to suppliers + Cash discount taken
= $500,000 - $418,000 - $80,000 + $10,000
= $12,000
Therefore, the balance on the inventory account as at December 31 is $12,000
CWN Company uses a job order costing system and last period incurred $70,000 of actual overhead and $100,000 of direct labor. CWN estimates that its overhead next period will be $85,000. It also expects to incur $100,000 of direct labor cost. If CWN bases applied overhead on direct labor cost, its predetermined overhead rate for the next period should be:
Answer:
85%
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, the predetermined over head is calculated as seen below.
Predetermined overhead = [(Estimated overhead / Expected labor cost) × 100]
Estimated overhead = $85,000
Expected labor cost = $100,000
Then,
Predetermined overhead = [($85,000 / $100,000) × 100]
Predetermined overhead = 0.85 × 100
Predetermined overhead = 85%
Therefore, the predetermined overhead rate for the next period should be 85%

Abnormal spoilage units = 80 (4,000 - 3,920)
If a company has a quick ratio of 1.25 times, current assets of $25,000 and inventory of $5,000, the current liabilities balance is equal to sign and comma, as applicable) (round to the nearest dollar and include the dollar
Answer:
$16,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the current liabilities balance is equal to
Using this formula
Quick Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities
Let plug in the formula
1.25 = ($25,000 - $5000) / Current Liabilities
1.25Current Liabilities = ($25,000 - $5000)
Current Liabilities = $20,000 / 1.25
Current Liabilities =$16,000
Therefore the current liabilities balance is equal to $16,000
Mcdormand inc reported a 3400 unfavorable price variance for variable overhead and a $34,000 nfavorable price variance for fixed overhead. The flexible budget had variable overhead based on 36,100 direct labor-hours; only 34,100 hours were worked. Total actual overhead was $1,810,400. The number of estimated hours for computing the fixed overhead application rate totaled 37,500 hours.
Required:
a. Prepare a variable overhead analysis.
b. Prepare a fixed overhead analysis.
Answer:
A. Variable overhead price variance 3400 U
Variable overhead efficiency variance 60000 F
Variable overhead cost variance 56600 F
B. Fixed overhead price variance 34000 U
Production volume variance 28000 U
Fixed overhead cost variance 62000 U
Explanation:
a. Preparation of a variable overhead analysis.
Variable overhead price variance = 3400 U
Calculation for Variable overhead efficiency variance
First step is to calculate the Actual input at standard rate
Actual input at standard rate = (34100*30)
Actual input at standard rate= 1023000
Second step is to calculate the Standard rate
Standard rate = 1083000/36100
Standard rate=30
Now let calculate Variable overhead efficiency variance
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (1083000-1023000)
Variable overhead efficiency variance = 60000 F
Calculation for Variable overhead cost variance
Variable overhead cost variance = (60000-3400)
Variable overhead cost variance= 56600 F
Therefore the variable overhead analysis will be:
Variable overhead price variance 3400 U
Variable overhead efficiency variance 60000 F
Variable overhead cost variance 56600 F
b. Preparation of a fixed overhead analysis.
Fixed overhead price variance = 34000 U
Calculation for Production volume variances
First step is to calculate Actual input at standard rate
Actual input at standard rate= 34100*30
Actual input at standard rate= 1023000
Second step is to calculate Fixed overhead actual
Fixed overhead actual= 1810400-(1023000+3400)
Fixed overhead actual= 784000
Third step is to calculate Budgeted fixed overhead
Budgeted fixed overhead = (784000-34000)
Budgeted fixed overhead = 750000
Fourth step is to calculate Fixed overhead applied
Fixed overhead applied= (750000/37500)*36100
Fixed overhead applied= 722000
Now let calculate Production volume variance
Production volume variance = (750000-722000) Production volume variance= 28000 U
Calculation to determine Fixed overhead cost variance
Fixed overhead cost variance = (28000+34000) Fixed overhead cost variance= 62000 U
Therefore fixed overhead analysis will be:
Fixed overhead price variance 34000 U
Production volume variance 28000 U
Fixed overhead cost variance 62000 U

Porter Corporation has fixed costs of $660,000, variable costs of $24 per unit, and a contribution
margin ratio of 40 percent.
Compute the following:
a. Unit sales price and unit contribution margin for the above product.
b. The sales volume in units required for Porter Corporation to earn an operating income of
$300,000.
c. The dollar sales volume required for Porter Corporation to earn an operating income of
$300,000
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The unit sale price is
But before that the variable cost ratio is
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Now the unit sale price i
= $24 × 100% ÷ 60%
= $40
Now the contribution margin per unit is
= $40 - $24
= $16
b. the sales volume in units is
= Fixed cost + operating income ÷ contribution margin per unit
= ($660,000 + $300,000) ÷ $16
= 60,000 units
c. Sales volume in dollars is
= Fixed cost + operating income ÷ contribution margin ratio
= ($660,000 + $300,000) ÷ 40%
= $2,400,000

Compute the company's total product cost per unit under absorption costing if 12,500 units had been produced 2. Fill in the blank with increase or decrease
Answer:
Total unitary cost= $16.2
Explanation:
First, we need to compute the total fixed overhead:
Total fixed overhead= 10,000*6= 60,000
Now, the unitary absorption cost for 12,500 units:
Direct labor= 2.8
Direct materials= 3.8
Variable overhead= 4.8
Total variable cost= $11.4
Fixed overhead= (60,000/12,500)= 4.8
Total unitary cost= $16.2
The unitary cost is lower.

Consider the oil-producing countries of A, B, and C. Each has a marginal cost of zero. World demand is given by Q = 995 – P. Suppose the three countries form a cartel, and that none of them has an incentive to deviate from the cartel. By how many units lower is the total output of oil under the cartel relative to the Cournot solution?
Answer:
248.75 units
Explanation:
world demand ( Q ) = 995 - P
marginal cost of each country = 0
Determine how much less oil is produced under the cartel arrangement in relation to the Cournot solution
under the Cournot model solution
Total output = 3 [ (995 – 0) / ((3+1)*1) ]
= 3 * ( 995 / 4 ) = 746.25 units
Considering the cartel arrangement
MR = MC = 0
995 - 2Q = 0
∴ Q = 995 / 2 = 497.5 units
Therefore the difference between oil produced under the cartel arrangement and the Cournot solution
= 746.25 - 497.5
= 248.75 units
Given the following historical demand and forecast, calculate the Tracking Signal in Week 3:Week 1 Demand: 50 Forecast: 49Week 2 Demand: 54 Forecast: 51Week 3 Demand: 58 Forecast: 57
Answer: 3
Explanation:
Week 1:
Demand forecast = 50 - 49 = 1
Week 2:
Demand forecast = 54 - 51 = 3
Week 3:
Demand forecast = 58 - 57 = 1
Then, MAD = (1+3+1) / 3 = 5/3
Then, tracking signal will be:
= (1+3+1)/5/3
= 5 ÷ 5/3
= 5 × 3/5.
= 3
The tracking signal in week 3 is 3
The tracking signal in week 3 in the historical demand and forecast given above is 3
Week 1: Demand forecast = 50 - 49 = 1
Week 2: Demand forecast = 54 - 51 = 3
Week 3: Demand forecast = 58 - 57 = 1
The mean absolute deviation is given below:
= ( 1 + 3 + 1 ) / 3 ÷ 5/3
= ( 1 + 3 + 1 ) / 5/3
= 5 ÷ 5/3
= 5 × 3/5
= 3
So therefore, the tracking signal in week 3 is 3
What is mean absolute deviation?The mean absolute deviation it is the average of values.
It is also the difference between actual values and their average value, and is usually used for the calculation of demand variability.

The following discussion focuses on the change in production and selling strategies of Timken Co., the Canton, Ohio, firm that is a major producer of bearings:
To counter the low prices of imports, Timken Co. in 2003 began bundling its bearings with other parts to provide industrial business customers with products specifically designed for their needs. Timken had begun bundling prelubricated, preassembled bearing packages for automobile manufacturers in the early 1990s. Evidence indicated that companies that sold integrated systems rather than discrete parts to the automobile manufacturers increased their sales. Other industrial customers put the same pressure on Timken in the late 1990s to lower prices, customize, or lose their business to lower-priced foreign suppliers. Manufacturers are increasingly combining a standard part with casings, pins, lubrication, and electronic sensors. Installation, maintenance, and engineering services may also be included. Suppliers, such as Timken, saw this as a means of increasing profits and making themselves more indispensable to the manufacturers. The strategy also required suppliers to remain in proximity with their customers, another advantage over foreign imports. This type of bundling does require significant research and development and flexible factories to devise new methods of transforming core parts into smart assemblies. The repackaging is more difficult for industrial than automobile customers because the volumes of production are smaller for the former. Timken also had to educate its customers on the variety of new products available.
Timken has an 11 percent share of the world market for bearings. However, imports into the United States doubled to $1.4 billion in 2002 compared with $660 million in 1997. Timken believes that the uniqueness of its product helps protect it from foreign competition. However, the company still lobbied the Bush administration to stop what it calls the dumping of bearings at low prices by foreign producers in Japan, Romania, and Hungary.
Required:
a. What factors in the economic environment, in addition to foreign imports, contributed to Timken’s new strategy in 2002 and 2003?
b. How does this strategy relate to the discussion of bundling presented in the chapter? What additional factors are presented in this case?
Answer:
Timken Co.
a. Factors in the Economic Environment that contributed to Timken;s new strategy in 2002 and 2003 in addition to foreign imports at cheaper prices:
1. The needs of industrial business customers for integrated systems
2. Lowering of prices resulting from bundling
3. Addition of installation, maintenance, and engineering services, leading to increasing profits
b. The relationship of this strategy to bundling
1. Remaining in proximity with customers
2. Significant research and development
3. Flexible factories
4. Education of customers on product variety
c. Additional factors presented in this case are:
1. Customization
2. Means of making entity more indispensable to manufacturers

The cross price elasticity between gasoline and driving :___________.
a. is positive so they are complements.
b. is negative so they are substitutes
c. is positive so they are substitutes.
d. is negative so they are complements
Answer:
d. is negative so they are complements
Explanation:
The gasoline and driving are complement to each other that means if the price of the gasoline is increased so there should be the less pricing as it will become costlier now and if the price of the gasoline is decreased so there is more driving. It has an inverse relationship between two goods
So, the cross price elasticity of goods would be negative
Hence, the option d is correct
0. Westcomb, Inc. had equity of $150,000 at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, the company had total assets of $195,000. During the year, the company sold no new equity. Net income for the year was $72,000 and dividends were $44,640. What is the sustainable growth rate?
Group of answer choices
D. 18.01 percent
C. 17.78 percent
B. 18.24 percent
A. 15.32 percent
Answer:
18.24
Explanation:
Sustainable growth rate is the rate of growth a company can afford in the long term
sustainable growth rate = retention rate x ROE
b = retention rate. It is the portion of earnings that is not paid out as dividends
Retention rate = 1 - payout ratio =
payout ratio = dividend / net income
retention rate = 1 - $44,640 / 72,000 = 0.38
Return on equity = net income / average total equity
= 72,000 / 150,000 = 0.48
g = 0.48 x 0.38 = 18.24%
True or false: a firm with a capital structure containing 70% retained earnings has a marginal cost of capital of $50,000. This indicates that after the first $50,000 of capital raised, retained earnings can no longer provide the 70% equity position of the firms capital structure.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Marginal cost of capital is the total cost of debt and equity which is used to fund business operations. This denotes any additional capital raised to fund the business. If the capital structure has retained earnings of 70% and marginal cost of capital is $50,000. This means the additional cost to raise the fund will be $50,000.

When constructing a demand function, it is necessary to hold many other factors constant, so that a relationship between price and output can be established.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The given statement is true because there are other factors that impact the demand for a commodity for example if the income of a person rises then the person will consume more commodity and the demand curve will shift.
Therefore, other factors should be constant while constructing the demand function because keeping other factors constant will not impact the price and output relationship.
Required information Skip to question [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Hudson Co. reports the contribution margin income statement for 2019. HUDSON CO. Contribution Margin Income Statement For Year Ended December 31, 2019 Sales (9,600 units at $225 each) $ 2,160,000 Variable costs (9,600 units at $180 each) 1,728,000 Contribution margin 432,000 Fixed costs 324,000 Pretax income $ 108,000 1. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in units. 2. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in sales dollars.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $324,000
Unitary variable cost= $180
Selling price= $225
To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 324,000 / (225 - 180)
Break-even point in units= 7,200
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 324,000 / (45/225)
Break-even point (dollars)= $1,620,000
What of the following DO NOT represent the Cost-benefit analysis of going to college?
a. Having a student loan (debt)
b. Having a stable job with a high salary
c. Having an education
d. Getting a degree
Answer: b. Having a stable job with a high salary
Explanation:
The Cost-benefit analysis takes into account the costs and rewards of doing something. It however only takes into account costs and benefits that are directly attributable to the thing in question.
The Cost benefit analysis of going to college for instance would include the cost of college which is having to take a student loan most times and therefore incurring debt.
The benefits however include, having an education and getting a degree.
Getting a degree is not a guarantee that you will get a stable job with a high salary so this is not directly related to going to college and so cannot factor into the cost benefit analysis of college.
