When comparing the results of using the direct, sequential, and reciprocal services methods of allocating support department costs to production departments, which of the following statements is true for a manufacturing company that has a total of $1,500,000 in support costs to allocate?
a.The reciprocal services method allocates more than $1,500,000 to the production departments.
b.The reciprocal services method can be viewed as a compromise on accuracy and difficulty in allocating the $1,500,000 because it considers some, though not all, inter-support-department services and is easier to compute than the direct method.
c.The direct method yields the most accurate allocation of the $1,500,000.
d.The sequential method can be viewed as a compromise on accuracy and difficulty in allocating the $1,500,000 because it considers some, though not all, inter-support-department services and is easier to compute than the reciprocal services method.

Two countries produce coffee and blueberries. Nicaragua can produce either 25 thousand pounds of coffee or 100 thousand pounds of blueberries per year. Colombia can produce either 20 thousand pounds of coffee or 40 thousand pounds of blueberries per year.

Initially the two countries do not trade. Nicaragua produces 7 thousand pounds of coffee and 72 thousand pounds of blueberries. Colombia produces 7 thousand pounds of coffee and 26 thousand pounds of blueberries. Suppose the countries completely specialize and decide to trade 9 thousand pounds of coffee for 27 thousand pounds of blueberries.

Suppose the countries completely specialize and decide to trade 9 thousand pounds of coffee for 27 thousand pounds of blueberries. After trade, Nicaragua can consume _____________ thousand more pounds of coffee and ____________ thousand more pounds of blueberries. After trade, Colombia can consume_____________ thousand more pounds of coffee and thous and _______________more pounds of blueberries in comparison to the pre- trade consumption.

Answers

Answer:

Columbia has more than 4 coffee & 1 more berry.  

2) Nicaragua has more than 2 coffee & (100-27)= 73 berry, so 1 more berry.

Explanation:

                     Coffee  Berry

Columbia          20             40

Nicaragua          25              100

So Columbia has Comparative ADVANTAGE in Coffee,  

So it specializes in Coffee,   & Nicaragua specializes in Berry  

Initial consumption levels:  

In Columbia ( Coffee, Berry)= (7,26)  

In Nicaragua, (7,72)  

so if Columbia trades 9 Coffee for 27 Berry  

it can have (20-9) = 11 coffee, with 27 Berry  

1) Columbia has more than 4 coffee & 1 more berry.  

2) Nicaragua has more than 2 coffee & (100-27)= 73 berries, so 1 more berry.

Growing, Inc. is a firm that is experiencing rapid growth. The firm yesterday paid a dividend of $7.70. You believe that dividends will grow at a rate of 25.0% per year for two years, and then at a rate of 5.0% per year thereafter. You expect the stock will sell for $35.09 in two years. You expect an annual rate of return of 23.0% on this investment. If you plan to hold the stock indefinitely, what is the most you would pay for the stock now

Answers

Answer:

$38.98

Explanation:

The maximum amount a rational investor would pay for the stock is the present value of its future dividends and the present value of the terminal value of dividends beyond year 2(the price at the end of year 2) discounted at the investor's rate of return which is 23.0%

Year 1 dividend=$7.70*(1+25.0%)=$9.63

Year 2 dividend=$9.63*(1+25.0%)=$12.04

Share price at the end of year 2=$35.09(the 5.0% is of no use since terminal value beyond has been given)

price of the stock=$9.63/(1+23.0%)^1+$12.04/(1+23.0%)^2+$35.09/(1+23.0%)^2

price of the stock=$38.98  

A firm wants to sponsor an engineering lab. This requires $2.5M to construct the lab, $1.2M to equip it, and $600,000 every 5 years for new equipment. What is the required endowment if the university will earn 6% interest on funds

Answers

Answer:

$5.47M

Explanation:

The required endowment from the sponsor is the total costs required immediately plus the present value of the new equipment that needs to be purchased every five years as shown thus:

Immediate costs=cost of lab construction+cost of equipping the lab

Immediate costs=$2.5M+$1.2M

Immediate costs=$3.7M

Present value of every 5 years equipment cost=cost/(1+interest)^n-1

interest rate=6%

n=5 years(the frequency of incurring the cost)

PV=$0.60M/(1+6%)^5-1

PV=$0.60M/0.33822558

PV=$1.77M

required endowment =$3.70M+$1.77M

required endowment =$5.47M

Swifty Corporation is unsure of whether to sell its product assembled or unassembled. The unit cost of the unassembled product is $24 and Swifty would sell it for $56. The cost to assemble the product is estimated at $20 per unit and the company believes the market would support a price of $69 on the assembled unit. What decision should Swifty make

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Assembled product

Cost = $24 + $20 = $44

Selling price = $69

Profit = $69 - $44 = $25

Unassembled product

Cost = $24

Selling price = $56

Profit = $56 - $24 = $32

Therefore, Swifty corporation should sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $7

Given the following information, determine the amount of cash on the balance sheet, assuming that the company has only three assets.

Liabilities equal $3,350
Owner's equity equals $28,000
Supplies equal $2,000
Land equals $23,500

Answers

Answer:

Cash balance = $5850

Explanation:

Below is the given values and calculations:

Liabilities  = $3350

Equity = $28000

Supplies = 2000

Land = $23500

Cash on the balance sheet can be determined by subtracting the sum of supplies and land from the sum of liability and equity.

Cash balance = (28000 + 3350) - (2000 + 23500)

Cash balance = $5850

You are in desperate need for cash to pay your water bill so you head to the check-cashing store down the street. They offer to lend you $200 now but you must leave a postdated check of $212 to be cashed in 7 days. What is the effective annual rate of this short-term loan?

Answers

Answer:

1969.6%

Explanation:

The computation of the effective annual rate is given below;

Given that

It is been charged $12 for $200 loan for 7 days

(1+r) = (1+0.06)^{52}

(1+r) = 20.696

r = 19.696

= 1969.6%

The answer is "$0".

Explanation:

Following are the Tax code of the IRS, taxpayers high school ask that their return on their tax return be extended on a deadline but must thus pay at least 90% of all tax owed, so how they can suffer the nonpayment penalty.

All remainder of the taxes being paid should be paid by the additional due date set by the taxpayer. Companies will have to pay the tax interest just after the due date if they do not pay.

For this reason, M requires timely prolongation and pays 90% of the remainder by the due date. Therefore, 'M' won't be obliged to pay any taxman's failure-to-pay penalty. Therefore, M fails to file $0.

When high-tech start-up Minx first hit the technology scene, it created a big splash. Its music streaming and voice control technology promised to revolutionize the field. It attracted $500,000 in seed money, suggesting that it could hire the best talent and create amazing new products. But Minx quickly fell off the fast track. It spent nearly $400,000 on a Bluetooth product that sold only 28 units. In addition, a botched security update resulted in the company's having to conduct a nationwide recall of one of its smart products. Yet, other products have been successful, and the company is not facing bankruptcy. Initially, Minx offered amazing perks to attract the best and brightest talent. It provided an in-house chef with free gourmet meals, unlimited snacks, on-site acupuncture, and free yoga classes. Its offices were pet-friendly, and new employees received a $10,000 cash signing bonus. To counter the long hours that the tech world notoriously demands of its workers, Minx offered relaxation areas with table tennis and foosball tables. Unfortunately, bad times have made it necessary for Minx to pull back on its employee perks. Although no staff people are being released, the in-house chef has to go, along with on-site acupuncture, yoga classes, and the $10,000 signing bonus. However, it's still a good place to work, and camaraderie is high.

Bluebean Inc. produces two lines of coffee cups: espresso coffee cups and travel coffee mugs. The unit cost information is shown here. The company uses a traditional volume-based costing system and believes that the number of labor hours is the appropriate cost driver

Activity Cost Pool Espresso Coffee Cups Travel Coffee Mugs
Selling price $20 $25
Direct materials $6 $8
Direct labor $2 $5
Units produced 10,000 units 4,000 units
Direct labor hours 10,000 hours 6,000 hours
Estimated total overhead costs $80,000

Item Espresso coffee cups Travel coffee mugs
Pre-determined overhead rate
Total manufacturing overhead allocated
Manufacturing cost per unit
Gross profit unit

Answers

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= 80,000 / (10,000 +  6,000)

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Espresso coffee cups= 5*10,000= 50,000

Travel coffee mugs= 5*6,000= 30,000

In unitary bases:

Espresso coffee cups= 50,000/10,000= 5

Travel coffee mugs= 30,000/4,000= 7.5

Finally, the total unitary cost and the gross profit per unit:

Espresso coffee cups:

Total unitary cost= 6 + 2 + 5= $13

Gross profit= 20 - 13= $7

Travel coffee mugs:

Total unitary cost= 8 + 5 + 7.5= $20.5

Gross profit= 25 - 20.5= $4.5

Flow rate = 1/50

Flow rate = 0.02 customer per minute.

Second step is to calculate the Bottleneck capacity

Bottleneck capacity = Min(1, 1/40, 1/10)

Bottleneck capacity= 0.025 customer per minute.

Now let determine the Utilization of the bottleneck resource using this formula

Utilization of the bottleneck resource = Flow rate/Capacity

Let plug in the formula

Utilization of the bottleneck resource= 0.02/0.025

Utilization of the bottleneck resource= 80%.

Therefore the utilization of the bottleneck resource is 80%
