Answer:
Classification as Population or Sample
a. Sample
b. Population
c. Population
d. Population
e. Sample
f. Population
g. Population
Explanation:
The population defines the whole group, while the sample is a part of the population. This means that the sample is less than the population. In statistical research, it is not always possible to study the whole population, unless it is not large. Most times, only the sample is studied and conclusions are then drawn about the population size based on the characteristics discovered about the sample size.
Kingbird Itzek manufactures and sells homemade wine, and he wants to develop a standard cost per gallon. The following are required for production of a 50-gallon batch. 3,360 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.02 per ounce 54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.55 per pound 60 lemons at $0.90 each 150 yeast tablets at $0.26 each 250 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each 2,400 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce Kingbird estimates that 4% of the grape concentrate is wasted, 10% of the sugar is lost, and 25% of the lemons cannot be used. Compute the standard cost of the ingredients for one gallon of wine. (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.)
Answer:
$5.272
Explanation:
The computation of the standard cost of the ingredients for one gallon of wine is shown below:-
But before that we need to do the following calculations
3,360 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.02 per ounce is (Considering 4%)
= 3,360 × $0.02 ÷ 96%
= $70
54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.55 per pound is (Considering 10%)
= 54 × $0.55 ÷ 90%
= $33
60 lemons at $0.90 each is (Considering 25%)
= 60 × $0.90 ÷ 75%
= $72
150 yeast tablets at $0.26 each is
= 160 × $0.26
= $41.6
250 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each is
= 250 × $0.14
= $35
2,400 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce is
= 2,400 × $0.005
= $12
Therefore 50 gallon cost is = $70 + $33 + $72 + $41.6 + $35 + $12
= $263.6
So, cost per gallon = $263.6 ÷ 50
= $5.272
o What types of human resource issues should management be aware of and sensitive to when making this change in distribution methods
Answer:
Management should be aware of and sensitive to the reaction of outstanding employees who relate directly to the former distribution methods.
Explanation:
When the company changes in distribution methods, the employees who relate and gets benefits directly to the former would react negatively. They are afraid of their own dismissal or income reduction. Some may react extremely which results in damages for the company. Hence, the company should work on internal communications to all employees before officially making the change.
"If Jason receives his quarterly bonus of $3,000 and spends $2,100 on a computer and puts the rest in his savings account, what is Jason’s MPC and MPS?"
Answer: 0.70; 0.30
Explanation:
Marginal propensity to consume(MPC) is the additional spending by an economic agent due to a rise in income while the marginal propensity to save is the additional saving by someone due to rise in income.
Increase in income = $3,000
Increase in spending = $2,100
Increase in savings = $3,000 - $2,100 = $900
MPC = $2,100/$3,000
= 0.70
MPS = $900/$3,000
= 0.30
Pedra, Inc. incurred direct labor costs of $54,000 for 6,000 hours. The standard labor cost was $55,200. During the month, Pedra assigned 6,000 direct labor hours costing $54,000 to production. The standard hours were 6,200. Journalize the transactions for Pedra, Inc. to account for this activity.
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
1. Factory Labor Dr, $55,200
To Labor Price Variance $1,200
To Factory Wages Payable $54,000
(Being factory labor is recorded)
Here we debited the factory labor as it increased the expenses and we credited the labor price variance and factory wages payable as it the factory wages payable increased the liabilities
2. Work in Process Inventory $57,040 ($55,200 ÷ $6,000 × $6,200)
To Labor Quantity Variance $1,840
To Factory Labor $55,200
(Being is work in progress is recorded)
Here we debited the work in progress inventory as it increased the assets and we credited the labor quantity variance and factory labor as the factory labor decreased the expenses
Cara Industries incurred the following costs for 50,000 units:
Variable costs $90,000
Fixed costs 120,000
Cara has received a special order from a foreign company for 5,000 units. There is sufficient capacity to fill the order without jeopardizing regular sales. Filling the order will require spending an additional $4,250 for shipping.
If Cara wants to break even on the order, what should the unit sales price be?
A. $4.2
B. $5.05
C.$1.8
D. $2.65
Answer:
Selling price= $2.65
Explanation:
Because it is a special offer, and there is unused capacity, we will take into account only the incremental fixed costs.
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:
Unitary variable cost= 90,000/50,000= $1.8
Now, we can determine the total unitary cost and the selling price per unit:
Total unitary cost= (4,250/5,000) + 1.8= $2.65
Selling price= $2.65

Waterway has a standard of 2 hours of labor per unit, at $12 per hour. In producing 3800 units, Waterway used 7350 hours of labor at a total cost of $89670. Waterway's labor quantity variance is
Answer:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $3,000 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard= 2 hours of labor per unit, at $12 per hour.
In producing 3800 units, Waterway used 7350 hours of labor.
To calculate the direct labor quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Standard quantity= 2*3,800= 7,600 hours
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (7,600 - 7,350)*12
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $3,000 favorable
Take a real business activity example and relate with the concept of commission depreciation and simple and compound interest rate?
Answer & Explanation: Commission: This is a percentage earned on total sales. Using a health insurance company as an example, brokers earn commission on premium received by the company.
Depreciation: This relates to the wear and tear of an asset. The health insurance company fixed assets such as motor vehicle, furniture and equipments will be depreciated and expensed periodically.
Simple and compound interest rates: Simple interest rate is a rate charged directly on the principal amount deposited. If the health insurance company decides to invest in fixed income or call deposits with a bank for a period of 1 year. The bank can put a specific rate that will be paid to the company as an interest earned.
Compound interest rate on the other hand is beneficial to the financier. It is a rate charged on both the principal amount and the interest earned. For instance if the company decides to take a loan with the bank, the bank can charge a compound interest rate.
Bronco Corp. has decided to establish a subsidiary in Taiwan that will produce stereos and sell them locally in the country. It expects that its cost of producing these stereos will be one third the cost of producing them in the United States. Assuming that its production cost estimates are accurate, is Bronco‘s strategy sensible? Explain.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Based on the description provided it can be said that Bronco's strategy is not sensible. This is because Bronco Corp. has recognized an advantage of producing stereos in Taiwan as opposed to the U.S but this is only an advantage if they sell those same stereos that were produced in the Taiwan subsidiary to the U.S. markets. Otherwise they will be selling the stereos at a much lower price in the Taiwan market, which will ultimately not be an advantage.
Marston Manufacturing Company has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 8% if it was operated as an independent company. Division H is the company’s high-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 14% if it was operated as an independent company. Because the two divisions are the same size, the company has a composite weighted average cost of capital of 11%. Division H is considering a project with an expected return of 12%. Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project? Reject the project Accept the project On what grounds do you base your accept–reject decision? Division H’s project should be accepted, as its return is greater than the risk-based cost of capital for the division. Division H’s project should be rejected since its return is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division.
Answer:
Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project?
Marston C Company should reject the project because its expected return is lower than Division H's cost of capital.
Since the divisions' risk is so different, and probably their projects are also very different, the company should use different costs of capital to accept of reject the projects based on each division's cost of capital.
Imagine another situation where Division L is evaluating a project that yields 10%. If they used the company's WACC, then they should reject the project, but if they used the division's cost of capital, then they should accept the project (in this case I would recommend accepting it).
Explanation:
Division H's risk = 14%
Division L's risk = 8%
WACC = 11%

Answer:
If output rises to 57,000 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be?
24.23%What is the operating cash flow at 46,000 units?
$45,613.84The degree of operating leverage (at 46,000 units)?
4.84Explanation:
degree of operating leverage = [quantity x (price - variable costs)] / {[quantity x (price - variable costs)] - fixed costs}
degree of operating leverage x {[quantity x (price - variable costs)] - fixed costs} = [quantity x (price - variable costs)]
3.21 x {[53000 x (contribution margin)] - fixed costs} = [53000 x (contribution margin)]
(3.21 x 53000 x contribution margin) - (3.21 x 175000) = 53000 x contribution margin
let C = contribution margin
170130C - 561750 = 53000C
117130C = 561750
C = 561750 / 117130 = 4.795953
operating cash flow (at 53,000) = (53,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $79,185.52
operating cash flow (at 57,000) = (57,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $98,369.32
% change = ($98,369.32 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = 24.23%
operating cash flow (at 46,000) = (46,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $45,613.84
% change in operating cash flows = ($45,613.84 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = -43.4%
% change in sales = (46,000 - 53,000) / 53,000 = -13.21
degree of operating leverage = $220,613.84 / $45,613.74 = 4.84
In October, Vaughn Company reports 21,200 actual direct labor hours, and it incurs $118,830 of manufacturing overhead costs. Standard hours allowed for the work done is 23,300 hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $4.95 per direct labor hour. Compute the total overhead variance.
Answer:
The answer is $3,495F
Explanation:
The formula for computing total overhead variance is:
Actual overhead - overhead applied.
Overhead applied = overhead rate x standard hours allowed for the workdone.
$4.95 x 23,300 hours
=$115,335
Actual overhead is $118,830
Therefore, we have:
$118,830 - $115,335
= $3,495F
The F in the answer means favourable. The actual overhead incurred is greater than the overhead absorbed.
If you were to start a business delivering documents, you might need to purchase cell phones, bicycles, desks, and chairs. a. These purchases are called capital investment. If you raise the funds to purchase them from others you are a saver. b. These purchases are called capital investment. If you raise the funds to purchase them from others you are a borrower. c. These purchases are called consumption. If you raise the funds to purchase them from others you are a saver. d. These purchases are called consumption. If you raise the funds to purchase them from others you are a borrower.
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
Capital is what is used to start a business. It is what the owner's contribution in the business. In advanced class, it is called stock or equity. Capital is usually from the owner's savings. But if this money is borrowed either from an individual or a bank, the person is a borrower while the other party is the lender.
Option A is incorrect because money raised from someone makes the person borrowing a borrower and not a saver.
Option C and D are incorrect because the items needed for the business are not consumables, they are needed for the smooth running of the business, hence they are not consumption.
"At that time, the market price of ABC is $44. If the market rises to $58 and the call is exercised (the put expires out the money), the gain or loss is:"
Answer:
600 loss
Explanation:
The computation of the gain or loss is shown below:
Since on Jan, there is a put option of 45 at $3 and the market rises to $58
So it losses by 13 points i.e
= 45 - 58
= 13
Now the total premium points collected is of 7 i.e
= 4 + 3
= 7
So, the remaining points left is
= 13 - 7
= 6
So for 6 points, the net loss is $600

Explanation:
"Frank bought a house for $100,000. He put 20% down and borrowed the rest from the bank. However, the value of the house has now increased to $160,000 and he has paid off $20,000 of the bank loan. What is the equity that Frank has in his home
Answer:
$100,000
Explanation:
The computation of the equity in his home is shown below;
Given that
Increased in the value of the house = $160,000
And, the amount he has to paid is
= Borrowed amount - down payment
= $80,000 - ($100,000 × 20%)
= $80,000 - $20,000
= $60,000
So, the equity is
= $160,000 - $60,000
= $100,000
hence, the equity value is $100,000
Answer:
The equity that Frank has in his home is $100000
Explanation:
The purchase price of house = $100000
The down payment = 20% or $100000 ×20% = $20000
The remaining amount paid by bank = $80000
The increased value of house = $160,000
Payment of loan amount = $20000
The Value of house is $160000 and he pays $20000 to the bank as a part of loan payment so reaming amount that he has to pay the bank is ($80000-20000) = $60000.
Thus, his equity will be $100000.
Assume the Residential Division of KappyKappy Faucets had the following results last year:
Net sales $6,360,000
Operating income 636,000
Average total assets 5,300,000
Management's target rate of return 16%
What is the division's return on investment?
Answer:
12%
Explanation:
Calculation for the division's return on investment
Using this formula
Return On Investment = Operating income /Average total assets
Let plug in the formula
Return on investment= $636,000/$5,300,000
Return on investment= 0.12*100
Return on investment=12%
Therefore the division's return on investment will be $12%

Which of the following stocks is less risky? Stock Average Return Standard Deviation Coefficient of Variation X 10% 40% 4 Y 20% 40% 2
Answer:
Stock X has a CV of 4 while Stock Y has a CV of 2. As stock Y has a lower CV than Stock X, it is less riskier.
Explanation:
The coefficient of variation is a statistical model which is also used to determine the volatility per unit of a factor. In terms of a stock, the coefficient of variation calculates the volatility of its return. It is calculated by dividing the stock's standard deviation, which is a measure of risk, by the stock's mean return or expected return.
CV = SD / r
Where,
CV is coefficient of variationSD is standard deviationr is expected returnThe CV of a stock tells us the risk per unit of return. The higher the CV, the riskier the stock and vice versa.
Stock X has a CV of 4 while Stock Y has a CV of 2. As stock Y has a lower CV than Stock X, it is less riskier.

Suver Corporation has a standard costing system. The following data are available for June: Actual quantity of direct materials purchased 24,000 pounds Standard price of direct materials $ 6.00 per pound Material price variance $ 6,000 Unfavorable Material quantity variance $ 2,400 Favorable The actual price per pound of direct materials purchased in June was:
Answer:
$6.25
Explanation:
Given the data below from the above information,
The actual quantity of direct materials purchased 24,000 pounds
Standard price of direct materials price $6 per pound
Material price variance unfavorable -$6,000
Material quantity variance $2,400
Therefore;
Direct material price Variance = (Standard price - Actual price) × Actual quantity
- $6,000 = ($6 - Actual price ) × 24,000
-$6,000 = $144,000 - 24,000 AP
24,000 AP = $144,000 + $6,000
24,000 AP = $150,000
AP = $6.25
A product selling in France has a price to the channel of EUR 10.00, fixed costs of EUR 33 million, and variable costs of EUR 4.50. How many units does the company have to sell to break even
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 6,000,000
