Management is the act of getting people together to accomplish desired goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively.
Feliciano Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours (DLHs). The company has two products, I63E and E76I, about which it has provided the following data: I63E E76I Direct materials per unit $ 21.70 $ 65.10 Direct labor per unit $ 19.50 $ 58.50 Direct labor-hours per unit 0.80 2.40 Annual production (units) 90,000 30,000
The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $2,063,250 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 45,000.
The company is considering using a form of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below:
Activities and Activity Measures Estimated
Overhead Cost
Assembling products (DLHs) $ 720,000
Preparing batches (batches) 263,250
Product support (product variations) 1,080,000
Total $ 2,063,250
Expected Activity
I63E E76I Total
DLHs 24,000 21,000 45,000
Batches 1,080 675 1,755
Product variations 2,115 1,485 3,600
The manufacturing overhead that would be applied to a unit of product E76I under the activity-based costing system is closest to:________.
Answer:
Unitary cost= $30.91
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Assembling products= 720,000/45,000= $16 per DLH
Preparing batches= 263,250/1,755= $150 per batch
Product support= 1,080,000/3,600= $330 per product variation
Now, we allocate costs to Product E76l:
Assembling products= 16*21,000= $336,000
Preparing batches= 150*675= $101,250
Product support= 330*1,485= $490,050
Total= $927,300
Finally, the unitary cost:
Unitary cost= 927,300 / 30,000
Unitary cost= $30.91
It has been said that Earned Value Management (EVM) came about because the Federal Government often used "Cost-plus" contractors with project organizations. Cost-plus contracting allows the contractor to recover full project development costs plus accumulate profit from these contracts. Why would requiring contractor firms to employ earned value management help the government hold the line against project cost overruns?
Answer:
Earned Value Management (EVM)
The Federal Government requires contractor firms to employ earned value management because it enables it to assess the work that has been completed against an established baseline plan in terms of technical, time, and cost performance.
Armed with this information, it is in a better position to make important project decisions and help to control over-spending.
Explanation:
Earned value management (EVM) as a integrated project management methodology details the project time schedule, costs, and scope to ensure correct measurement of project performance. Using planned and actual values, EVM enables future predictions, improving the ability of project managers to adjust according to requirements.

Vandelay Industries stock has a 50% chance of producing a 20% return, a 30% chance of producing a 8% return, and a 20% chance of producing a -21% return. What is Vandelay expected rate of return?
Answer:
8.2%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the expected rate of return
Expected rate of return= (.50 (.20)) +(.30(.08)) + (.20*(-.21)
Expected rate of return=0.1+0.024+(0.042)
Expected rate of return=.082*100
Expected rate of return=8.2%
Therefore the expected rate of return is 8.2%

Assume that the CAPM is a good description of stock price returns. The market expected return is 8% with 12% volatility and the risk-free rate is 3%. New news arrives that does not change any of these numbers, but it does change the expected returns of the following stocks:
Stock Expected Return Volatility Beta
Taggart Transcontinental 8% 28% 1.2
Rearden Metal 13% 40% 1.7
Wyatt Oil 7% 20% 0.8
Nielson Motors 10% 32% 1.3
The expected alpha for Taggart Transcontinental is closest to:_______
A) -3%
B) -1%
C) 1%
D) 3%
E) 0%
Answer:
b. -1%
Explanation:
Expected Alpha = E[rs] - [rf+ B(rm- rf)]. Where rf+ B(rm- rf) is the CAPM return, rf= risk free return, B = Beta of security, rm= return of market, E[rs]= Expected return of security
Expected Alpha = 8% - [3%+1.2*(8%-3%)
Expected Alpha = 8% - 9%
Expected Alpha = -1%
So, the expected alpha for Taggart Transcontinental is closest to -1%.

Red Co. recorded a right-of-use asset of $140,000 in a 10-year finance lease. Payments of $22,784 are made annually at the end of each year. The interest rate charged by the lessor and known by Red was 10%. The balance in the lease payable after two years will be: (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer: $121554
Explanation:
Lease liability = $140,000
Less: Lease liability in 1st year= $8784
Lease payable after one year = $131216
Less: Lease liability in 2nd year = $9662.40
Lease payable after 2nd year = $121553.60 = $121554
Note:
Lease liability in 1st year:
= $22,784 - (10% × $140000)
= $22784 - $14000
= $8784
Lease liability in 2nd year:
= $22784 - (10% × $131216)
= $22784 - $13121.60
= $9662.40

Cullumber Enterprises has total current assets of $345,002 and fixed assets of $466,306. The company also has long-term debt of $287,400, $100,000 in its common stock account, and retained earnings of $187,570. What is the value of its total current liabilities
Answer: $236,338
Explanation:
The accounting equation is:
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
Assets = Fixed assets + Current Assets
Equity = Common stock + Retained earnings
Fixed assets + Current Assets = Common stock + Retained earnings + Long term debt + Current liabilities
466,306 + 345,002 = 100,000 + 187,570 + 287,400 + Current liabilities
811,308 = 574,970 + Current liabilties
Current liabilities = 811,308 - 574,970
= $236,338

Answer:
7.38%
8.23%
7.01%
9.17%
Explanation:
Rate of return = (future value / amount invested)^(1/n) - 1
n = number of years
a. (788.17 / 360)^(1/11) - 1 = 7.38%
b. (11.499.87 / 3000) ^(1/17) - 1 = 8.23
c. (140,000 / 31,542.31)^(1/22) - 1 = 7.01
d. (1,100,000 / 32895.12)^(1/40) - 1 = 9.17
At an activity level of 6,000 units the cost for maintenance is $7,200 and at 10,000 units the cost for maintenance is $11,600. Using the high-low method, the cost formula for maintenance is: Group of answer choices
Answer:
y = $1.10x + $600
Explanation:
Step 1 : Variable Cost calculation
Variable Cost = ($11,600 - $7,200) ÷ (10,000 - 6,000)
= $1.10
Step 2 : Fixed Cost calculation
Total cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost
hence,
Fixed Cost = Total Cost - Variable Cost
= $11,600 - (10,000 x $1.10)
= $600
Step 3 : Cost formula for maintenance
Total cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost
therefore,
y = $1.10x + $600
where,
y = Total cost
x = Activity level
Using the high-low method, the cost formula for maintenance is : y = $1.10x + $600

In an economy open to international trade ________.
A) saving equals investment in equilibrium
B) saving is the difference between net exports and investment
C) saving equals investment as long as the economy has no exports
D) saving equals investment as long as NX
Answer: D) saving equals investment as long as NX = 0
Explanation:
The last option was incomplete as it should have said ...NX = 0.
The Income/GDP of a country that is open to international trade is calculated as follows:
Income = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + Net exports
Y = C + I + G + NX
If NX = 0 then the formula becomes:
Y = C + I + G
Investment in this scenario is therefore:
I = Y - C - G
This is the same as savings as savings is calculated by subtracting consumption and government spending from the total income. This is because government spending is derived from taxes so the cash that people get to save is their income less than their taxes and consumption expenses.
S = Y - C - G = Y
Renee paid $4,000 in mortgage interest on a $110,000 mortgage that was taken out when she bought her home several years ago. She also has a home equity loan of $130,000 that she used to pay for a cruise around the world. The interest on the home equity loan was $8,000. What amount is deductible as interest expense for Renee in 2021
Answer:
The amount that is deductible as interest expense for Renee in 2021 is:
= $4,000.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Home mortgage - $110,000
Interest on home mortgage = $4,000
Home equity loan for a cruise around the world = $130,000
Interest on the home equity loan = $8,000
Deductible interest expense for Renee in 2021 is $4,000
b) Usually, the interest expenses that a taxpayer pays on her home equity loan to enjoy a cruise around the world, on personal credit card, on automobile loan, and on other types of personal consumer finance interests are not tax-deductible.
Several years ago, Castles in the Sand Inc. issued bonds at face value of $1,000 at a yield to maturity of 8%. Now, with 7 years left until the maturity of the bonds, the company has run into hard times and the yield to maturity on the bonds has increased to 12%. What is the price of the bond now
Answer:
$814.10
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the price of the bond now
Using this formula
Bond price = PV of coupon payments + PV of face value
Bond price= C×((1 / r) – {1 / [r(1 + r)t]}) + FV / (1 + r)t
Let plug in the formula
Bond price= [(.080 ×$1,000) / 2] ×[[1 / (.12 / 2)] – (1 / {(.12 / 2)[1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)})] + $1,000 / [1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)
Bond price= $814.10
Therefore the price of the bond now is $814.10

The disadvantages of bonds are listed below as;
1. Bonds can decrease a person's return on equity.
2. Bonds require a payment of the principal amount.
3. Bonds typically require a payment of periodic interest.
Generally, most bonds with shorter maturity time respond less dramatically to changes in interest rates when compared to bonds having longer maturity. Thus, the risk associated with short bonds isn't really significant because their interest rates are less likely to change substantially within that short period of time unlike bonds with longer maturity.
Hence, regardless of the earnings by bondholders, interest must be paid on a periodic basis on a long-term bond.

Fort Thomas Living is a small publishing company located in the Northern Kentucky. Recently, Fort Thomas Living has contracted with several different local writers to publish various magazines and short-story books. Once such transaction involves an exchange of $10,200. Another transaction involves an exchange of $9,600? Are both of these exchanges of money subject to the disclosure requirements of the Money Laundering Control Act?
Answer: No
Explanation:
The Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 which was passed to curb the effects of large scale money laundering at the federal level, only requires that transactions above $10,000 be disclosed.
There is a transaction here that is only to the tune of $9,600 so this will not be disclosed as it is less than the $10,000 threshold. The other transaction of $10,200 will however, be disclosed.
You wrote a piece of software that does a better job of allowing computers to network than any other program designed for this purpose. A large networking company wants to incorporate your software into its systems and is offering to pay you $458,000 today, plus $458,000 at the end of each of the following six years, for permission to do this. If the appropriate interest rate is 8 percent, what is the present value of the cash flow stream that the company is offering you?
Answer:
$2,575,278.87
Explanation:
Present Value = $458,000 + $458,000 /(1+.08)^1 + $458,000 /(1+.08)^2 + $458,000 /(1+.08)^3 + $458,000 /(1+.08)^4 + $458,000 /(1+.08)^5 + $458,000 /(1+.08)^6
Present Value = $458,000 + $424,074.07 + $392,661.18 + $363,575.16 + $336,643.67 + $311,707.10 + $288617.69
Present Value = $2,575,278.87
So, the present value of the cash flow stream that the company is offering to me is $2,575,278.87.

Stoves $15,000 $3,000 6
Refrigerators 10,000 1,000 5
Dishwashers 8,000 500 4
In 2019, three new refrigerators costing $2,700 were purchased for cash. The old refrigerators, which originally cost $1,500, were sold for $200.
Requried:
a. Calculate the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.
b. Prepare the journal entries to record the purchase of the new refrigerators and the sale of the old refrigerators.
Answer:
A. Group depreciation rate 17.197%
Group life 5.02 years
Depreciation for 2016 $5,675
B. 2019
Dr Stove, refrigerator and dishwasher $2,700
Cr Cash $2,700
2019
Dr Accumulated Depreciation $1,300
Dr Cash $200
Cr Stove, refrigerator and dishwasher $1,500
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.
First step is the Computation of Group depreciation rate, group life and depreciation for 2016
Assets Original Residual Depreciation Estimated Depreciation
Cost Value Cost Life-Years per year-SLM
Stoves $15,000-$3,000= $12,000 6 $2,000 ($12,000/6=$2,000)
Refrigerators $10,000-$1,000=$9,000 5 $1,800 ($9,000/5=$1,800)
Dishwashers $8,000-$500=$7,500 4 $1,875
($7,500/4=$1,875)
Total $33,000 $4,500 $28,500 $5,675
Now let determine the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.
Calculation for group depreciation rate using this formula
Group Depreciation Rate = Total depreciation per year ÷ Total original cost
Let plug in the formula
Group depreciation rate = $5,675 ÷ $33,000*100
Group depreciation rate= 17.197%
Calculation for Group life using this formula
Group life = Total depreciation cost ÷ Total depreciation per year
Let plug in the formula
Group life = $28,500 ÷ $5,675
Group life = 5.02 years
Calculation for Depreciation for 2016 using this formula
Depreciation for 2016= Original Cost × Group Depreciation Rate
Let plug in the formula
Depreciation for 2016 = $33,000 × 0.17197
Depreciation for 2016= $5,675
Therefore the group depreciation rate is 17.197%, group life is 5.02 years, and depreciation for 2016 is $5,675
B. Preparation of the journal entries to record the purchase of the new refrigerators and the sale of the old refrigerators.
2019
Dr Stove, refrigerator and dishwasher $2,700
Cr Cash $2,700
(To record purchase of new refrigerator)
2019
Dr Accumulated Depreciation $1,300
($1,500-$200)
Dr Cash $200
Cr Stove, refrigerator and dishwasher $1,500
(To record sale of old refrigerator)
If the potential customers belong to the same segment, display comparable characteristics, and choose the same product qualities consistent with their segment, then which condition for the ideal market segment approach should be used
Answer: internally homogenous
Explanation:
Since the potential customers belong to the same segment, display comparable characteristics, and choose the same product qualities that are consistent with their segment, then the condition for the ideal market segment approach which should be used is the internally homogeneous.
On the other hand, if the potential customers are in different segments, have different characteristics, and choose different product qualities, then the externally homogeneous will be ideal.
