Jenny has a $82,500 basis in her 50 percent partnership interest in the JM Partnership before receiving any distributions. This year JM makes a proportionate operating distribution to Jenny of a parcel of land with an $110,000 fair value and a $89,700 basis to JM. The land is encumbered with a $42,850 mortgage (JM's only liability). What is Jenny's basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution
Answer:
$89,700 land basis, $14,225 JM basis.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Jenny's basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution
Based on the information given her basis in the land equal to the amount of $89,700 while are remaining basis in JM is the amount of $14,225, Calculated as:
Predistribution basis in JM $82,500
Add deemed contribution $21,425
(50%*$42,850)
Less: basis allocated to land ($89,700)
Remaining basis in JM $14,225
Therefore her basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution are:
$89,700 land basis, $14,225 JM basis.
A building was constructed last year for Agro Co. for use as a production facility. Construction began on January 1 and was completed on December 31. The payments to the contractor were as follows.
Date Payment
1/1 $300,000
4/1 620,000
8/1 460,000
10/1 300,000
To finance construction of the building, a $750,000, 10% construction loan was taken out on January 1. The loan was repaid on December 31. The firm had two sources of general debt: $400,000 note payable, 9% annual interest, and $500,000 par value bonds, 7.5% annual interest.
Determine the amount of interest to be capitalized.
Answer:
Agro Co.
The amount of interest to be capitalized is:
= $92,850.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Date Payment Weight Weighted Average
1/1 $300,000 12/12 $300,000
4/1 620,000 9/12 465,000
8/1 460,000 5/12 191,667
10/1 300,000 3/12 75,000
Weighted-average accumulated expenditure = $1,031,667
Sources debt:
$750,000 construction loan, 10% annual interest = $75,000
$400,000 note payable, 9% annual interest = 36,000
$500,000 par value bonds, 7.5% annual interest = 37,500
Total debt = $1,650,000 Total interest = $148,500
Weighted-average interest rate = $148,500/$1,650,000 * 100 = 9%
Interest to be capitalized = Weighted-average accumulated expenditure * Weighted-average interest rate
= $1,031,667 * 9%
= $92,850

Explanation:
In 2001, HP acquired Compaq. The merger had an impact on two different markets: desktop PCs and servers. Pre-merger market shares in the desktop PC market were as follows: Dell, 13; Compaq, 12; HP, 8; IBM, 6; Gateway, 4. Pre-merger market shares in the servers market were as follows: IBM, 26; Compaq, 16; HP, 14; Dell, 7. Source: Bank of America report, October 2001. Data for 2001Q2.
(a) Determine the value of HHI in each market before the merger.
(b) Assuming market shares of each firm remain constant, determine the value of HHI after the merger.
(c) Considering the values determined above and the DoJ merger guidelines, was the Department of Justice right in allowing the merger to take place?
Answer:
HP and Compaq
Value of HHI Desktop PC Servers
a) Before the merger 429 1,177
b) After the merger 621 1,616
c) Considering the HHI values determined in the various markets above (before and after the merger) and the DoJ merger guidelines, the DoJ seems to be right in allowing the merger to take place with respect to the desktop PC market as the 200 basis point mark was not reached. This is not the same with respect to the servers market, where the combined value of HP Compaq exceeds the 200 basis point mark.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Pre-merger market shares in the desktop PC and servers markets:
Desktop PC Servers
Market Market
Dell, 13 7
Compaq, 12 16
HP, 8 14
IBM, 6 26
Gateway, 4 0
HHI in the desktop PC market = 13² + 12² + 8² + 6² + 4²
= 169 + 144 + 64 + 36 + 16
= 429
HHI in the servers market = 7² + 16² + 14² + 26² + 0² =
= 49 + 256 + 196 + 676
= 1,177
After the merger:
Desktop PC Servers
Market Market
Dell, 13 7
HP Compaq 20 30
IBM, 6 26
Gateway, 4 0
HHI in the desktop PC market = 13² + 20² + 6² + 4²
= 169 + 400 + 36 + 16
= 621
HHI in the servers market = 7² + 30² + 26² + 0²
= 40 + 900 + 676
= 1,616
Value of HHI Desktop PC Servers
a) Before the merger 429 1,177
b) After the merger 621 1,616
Market power of Compaq and HP in the desktop PC market before the merger = 208/429 = 48.5% (144 + 64)/429
Market power of HP Compaq in the desktop PC market after the merger = 400/621 = 64.4%
Increase in basis point (HHI) = 192 (621 = 429)
Market power of Compaq and HP in the servers market before the merger = 452/1,177 = 38.4% (256 + 196)/1,177
Market power of HP Compaq in the servers market after the merger = 900/1,616 = 55.7%
Increase in basis point (HHI) = 439 (1,616 - 1,1177)
Axil Corp. has not tapped the Deutsche mark public debt market because of concern about a likely appreciation of that currency and only wishes to be a floating-rate dollar borrower, which it can be at LIBOR + 1%. Bevel Corp. strongly prefers fixed-rate DM debt, but it must pay 1.5% more than the 6.25% coupon that Axil's DM notes would carry. Bevel, however, can obtain Eurodollars at LIBOR + 1/2%. Show work and explain.
1. What is the maximum possible cost savings to Axil from engaging in acurrency swap with Bevel?
2. What is the maximum possible cost savings to Bevel from engaging in acurrency swap with Axil?
Answer:
2%2%Explanation:
First step : determine total cost experienced in both cases
Total cost experienced by both firms without swap
= Axil floating dollar cost + Bevel fixed DM cost
= Libor + 1% + 7.75% = Libor + 8.75%
Total cost of funds by both firms when they are involved in a swap
= Bevel Floating dollar cost + Axil fixed Dm cost
= Libor + 0.5% + 6.25%
= Libor + 6.75%
1) the maximum possible cost savings to Axil Corp
Libor + 8.75% - Libor + 6.75% = 2%
2) the maximum possible cost savings to Bevel Corp
Libor + 8.75% - Libor + 6.75% = 2%
State income taxes paid$2,000 Mortgage interest on her personal residence9,000 Points paid on purchase of her personal residence1,000 Deductible contributions to her IRA3,000 Uninsured realized casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area)6,000 Tax preparation fees for her prior year income tax return400 What amount may Jordan claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return
Answer:
The amount Jordan may claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return is $12,900.
Therefore, the correct answer is b.$12,900.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Jordan Johnson is single and has adjusted gross income of $50,000 in the current year. Additional information is as follows:
State income taxes paid $2,000
Mortgage interest on her personal residence 9,000
Points paid on purchase of her personal residence 1,000
Deductible contributions to her IRA 3,000
Uninsured realized casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) 6,000
Tax preparation fees for her prior year income tax return 400
What amount may Jordan claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return?
a.$12,000
b.$12,900
c.$13,300
d.$15,900
b. $12,900.
Explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
The allowable deduction for personal casualty loss that occurs in a Federal disaster area has a limit to the amount by which it is higher than $100 floor and 10% of AGI which is calculated as follows:
Uninsured realized casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) - $100 = $6,000 - $100 = $5,900
Deductible uninsured realized personal casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) = $5,900 - ($50,000 * 10%) = $900
Therefore, we have:
Itemized deductions for the current year = State income taxes paid + Mortgage interest on her personal residence + Points paid on purchase of her personal residence + Deductible uninsured realized personal casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) = $2,000 + $9,000 + $1,000 + $900 = $12,900
Therefore, the amount Jordan may claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return is $12,900.
The correct answer is b.$12,900.
The Ring Division of A1d-Y6z Company reported the following information for May: selling price per unit .................... $35 variable costs per unit ................... $12 turnover .................................. 2.50 residual income ........................... $229,600 margin .................................... 22% units sold ................................ 40,000 Calculate the number of units the Ring Division needed to sell in May in order for the residual income in May to be $505,600.
Answer:
52,000 units
Explanation:
Selling price = $35*40,000 = $1,400,000
Variable cost = $12 * 40,000 = $480,000
Contribution margin = $1,400,000 - $480,000 = $920,000
Fixed cost = Residual income + Contribution
Fixed cost = $920,000 - $229,600
Fixed cost = $690,400
Sales to earn residual income = [Fixed cost + Desired profit] / Contribution per unit
Sales to earn residual income = [$690,400 + $505,600] / $35 - $12
Sales to earn residual income = $1,196,000 / $23
Sales to earn residual income = 52,000 units
"Minimum wage laws cause unemployment because the legal minimum wage is set" 9) A) above the market wage, causing labor demand to be greater than labor supply. B) below the market wage, causing labor demand to be greater than labor supply. C) too low. D) below the market wage, causing labor demand to be less than labor supply. E) above the market wage, causing labor demand to be less than labor supply.
Answer: E) above the market wage, causing labor demand to be less than labor supply.
Explanation:
Minimum wage simply refers to the lowest wage that employers can pay their workers. Minimum wage is a form of price floor which means that it's typically higher than the equilibrium or market wage.
In this case, since it's higher than the market wage, there'll be an increase in the supply of labor as those that are unemployed will be willing to work duw to the increase in the wage rate.
On the other hand, there'll be a reduction in the demand for labor as employers typically will want to reduce cost and won't be interested in employing more workers.
Therefore, the correct option is E
On January 1, 2020, Gerald received his 50% profits and capital interest in High Air, LLC in exchange for $2,000 in cash and real property with a $3,000 tax basis secured by a $2,000 nonrecourse mortgage. High Air reported a $15,000 loss for its 2020 calendar year. How much loss can Gerald deduct, and how much loss must he suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation
Answer:
$4,000;$3,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much loss can Gerald deduct, and how much loss must he suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation
Calculation for How much loss can Gerald deduct
Gerald's loss Deduction = [$2,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 + (50% × $2,000)]
Gerald's loss Deduction =[$2,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 + $1,000]
Gerald's loss Deduction=$4,000
Calculation for how much loss must he suspend
Loss to Suspend=(50%*$15,000)-$4,000
Loss to Suspend=$7,500-$4,000
Loss to Suspend=$3,500
Therefore the amount of loss that Gerald can deduct is $4,000 and the amount of loss that he must suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation is $3,500

Livingston Fabrication has created the following aggregate plan for the next five months:
August September October November December
Forecasting demand (units of finished goods)
1,000,000.00 1,000,000.00 2,000,000.00 4,000,000.00 1,000,000.00
Production plan
2,000,000.00 2,000,000.00 2,000,000.00 2,000,000.00 2,000,000.00
Assume that Livingston will have nothing in inventory at the end of July. Livingston employs 500 production assembly workers and it takes one production assembly worker 3 minutes to assemble one unit of finished good. (The unit is complete at that point.) Each production assembly worker can provide 160 hours of assembly time a month without requiring overtime pay.
Livingston wants to complete this plan without working any overtime in assembly. How many additional production assembly workers does Livingston need to hire, in order to accomplish this? When should they be hired?
Using this production plan, how many units will be in inventory at the end of October?
What will the average inventory level be each month?
Answer:
Livingston Fabrication
1. Additional production assembly workers needed = 125
2. They should be hired July ending for August production.
3. 2,000,000 units will be in inventory at the end of October.
4. The average inventory level each month will be 1,200,000 units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
(in thousands) August September October November December
Beginning inventory 0 1,000 2,000 2,000 0
Production plan 2,000 2,000 2,000 2,000 2,000
Forecasting demand
(units of finished goods) 1,000 1,000 2,000 4,000 1,000
Ending inventory 1,000 2,000 2,000 0 1,000
Number of assembly workers employed = 500
Minutes per employee to assemble one unit of finished good = 3
Total hours that each assembly worker can provide per month = 160
Total time provided by each assembly worker in minutes = 9,600 (160*60)
Total units produced by each worker in a month = 3,200 (9,600/3) units
Total units produced by 500 workers = 1,600,000 (3,200 * 500)
Production planned units per month = 2,000,000
Units required to be produced by hiring extra workers = 400,000
Workers required to produce the extra 400,000 units = 125 (400,000/3,200)
Average inventory level each month = Total ending inventory/5
= 6,000/5
= 1,200
Foods Galore is a major distributor to restaurants and other institutional food users. Foods Galore buys cereal from a manufacturer for $20.00 per case. Annual demand for cereal is 200,000 cases, and the company believes that the demand is constant at 800 cases per day for each of the 250 days per year that it is open for business. Average lead time from the supplier for replenishment orders is eight days, and the company believes that it is also constant. The purchasing agent at Foods Galore believes that annual inventory carrying cost is 10 percent and that it costs $40.00 to place an order.
How many cases of cereal should Foods Galore order each time it places an order? What is the total annual inventory cost if you order based on your Economic Order Quantity? (Sum of annual product purchasing cost, holding cost, and ordering cost). What is the total annual inventory cost if Foods Galore orders 10,000 each order at $18 per case? (Sum of annual product purchasing cost, holding cost, and ordering cost)
Answer:
The appropriate solution is:
(a) 2828 cases each time
(b) $4005656.85
(c) $3609800
Explanation:
The given values are:
Annual demand,
D = 200,000 cases
Per case cost,
C = $20
Carrying host,
H = [tex]10 \ percent\times 20[/tex]
= $[tex]2[/tex]
Ordering cost,
S = $40
(a)
The economic order quantity will be:
⇒ [tex]Q^*=\sqrt{(\frac{2DS}{H} )}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
[tex]=\sqrt{[\frac{(2\times 200000\times 40)}{2} ]}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{\frac{16000000}{2} }[/tex]
[tex]=2828[/tex]
(b)
According to the question,
The annual ordering cost will be:
= [tex](\frac{D}{Q^*}) S[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{200000}{2828}) 40[/tex]
= [tex]2828.85[/tex] ($)
The annual carrying cost will be:
= [tex](\frac{Q^*}{2})H[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{2828}{2} )2[/tex]
= [tex]2828[/tex] ($)
The annual purchase cost will be:
= [tex]D\times C[/tex]
= [tex]200000\times 20[/tex]
= [tex]4000000[/tex] ($)
Now,
The total inventory cost will be:
= [tex]2828.85+2828+4000000[/tex]
= [tex]4005656.85[/tex] ($)
(c)
According to the question,
Order quantity,
Q = 10000 cases
Per case cost,
C = $18
Carrying cost,
H = [tex]10 \ percent\times 18[/tex]
= [tex]1.8[/tex]
The annual ordering cost will be:
= [tex](\frac{D}{Q} )S[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{200000}{10000} )40[/tex]
= [tex]800[/tex] ($)
The annual carrying cost will be:
= [tex](\frac{Q}{2} )H[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{10000}{2} )1.8[/tex]
= [tex]9000[/tex] ($)
The annual purchase cost will be:
= [tex]D\times C[/tex]
= [tex]200000\times 18[/tex]
= [tex]3600000[/tex]
Now,
The total cost of inventory will be:
= [tex]800+9000+3600000[/tex]
= [tex]3609800[/tex] ($)
Cominsky Company purchased a machine on July 1, 2018, for $28,000. Cominsky paid $200 in title fees and county property tax of $125 on the machine. In addition, Cominsky paid $500 shipping charges for delivery, and $475 was paid to a local contractor to build and wire a platform for the machine on the plant floor. The machine has an estimated useful life of 6 years with a salvage value of $3,000.
Determine the depreciation base of Cominsky’s new machine. Cominsky uses straight-line depreciation.
Depreciation base $
Entry field with incorrect answer now contains modified data
Answer:
$26,300
Explanation:
Depreciation Base is the total amount charged to expenses over an asset's useful life.
In Straight line method of Depreciation:
Depreciation Base = (Cost of Asset - Salvage Value)
Cost of Asset $28,000 + $200 + $125 + $500 + $475
Cost of Asset = $29,300
Depreciable Base = $29,300 - $3,000
Depreciable Base = $26,300
rr Co. adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method on December 31, Year 12.Farr's entire inventory constitutes a single pool. On December 31, Year 12, the inventorywas $480,000 under the dollar-value LIFO method. Inventory data for Year 13 are asfollows:12/31/13 inventory at year-end prices$660,000Relevant price index at year end (base year Year 12)110Using dollar value LIFO, Farr's inventory at December 31, Year 13 isa.$528,000.b.$612,000.c.$600,000.d.$660,000
Answer:
b. $612,000
Explanation:
Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $660,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory at base year (2012) prices = $660,000/110*100 = $600,000
The real-dollar quantity increase in inventory = ($600,000 - $480,000) = $120,000
Value of this real dollar quantity increase in inventory at Dec 31, 2013 prices= $120,000 * 110/100 = $132,000 (LIFO layer to the Dec 31, 2012 inventory)
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = Dec 31, 2012 inventory + The value of LIFO layer formed
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $480,000 + $132,000
Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $612,000

Bonita Industries financed the purchase of a machine by making payments of $29000 at the end of each of five years. The appropriate rate of interest was 8%. The future value of one for five periods at 8% is 1.46933. The future value of an ordinary annuity for five periods at 8% is 5.86660. The present value of an ordinary annuity for five periods at 8% is 3.99271. What was the cost of the machine to Bonita?
Answer:
Cost of Machine today = $115788.59
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of machine to Bonita in today's term, we need to calculate the present value of annuity. We know that the payments made are in form of an ordinary annuity because the amount of payment is fixed (29000) , the payments are made after equal interval of time (at the end of each year) and are made in finite number (5 years).
We will multiply the annuity payment per period by the PV of ordinary annuity factor as provided in the question to calculate the value or price of machine today.
Cost of Machine today = 29000 * 3.99271
Cost of Machine today = $115788.59

The following income statements are provided for Li Company's last two years of operation: Year 1 Year 2 Number of units produced and sold 4,500 4,100 Sales revenue $ 69,750 $ 63,550 Cost of goods sold 41,700 38,000 Gross margin 28,050 25,550 General, selling, and administrative expenses 17,500 16,300 Net income $ 10,550 $ 9,250 Assuming that cost behavior did not change over the two-year period, what is Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2?
Answer:
$13,325
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2
First step is to calculate the Variable cost per unit
Using this formula
Variable cost per unit = Change in costs ÷ Change in activity Cost of goods sold
Let plug in the formula
Variable cost per unit = (41,700 − 38,000) ÷ (4,500 units − 4,100 units)
Variable cost per unit =3,700/400
Variable cost per unit = $9.25 per unit
Second step is to calculate the Selling and administrative expense
Variable cost per unit = (17,500- 16,300) ÷ (4,500 units − 4,100 units)
Variable cost per unit =1,200/400 units
Variable cost per unit = $3.00 per unit
Now let calculate the Contribution margin in Year 2
Using this formula
Contribution margin = Sales revenue − Variable costs
Let plug in the formula
Contribution margin= $ 63,550 − [4,100 units × ($9.25 per unit + $3.00 per unit)]
Contribution margin=$ 63,550-(4,100 units×$12.25)
Contribution margin=$ 63,550-$50,225
Contribution margin = $13,325
Therefore Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2 is $13,325
Exercise 11-15 Dropping or Retaining a Segment [LO11-2] Thalassines Kataskeves, S.A., of Greece makes marine equipment. The company has been experiencing losses on its bilge pump product line for several years. The most recent quarterly contribution format income statement for the bilge pump product line follows: Thalassines Kataskeves, S.A. Income Statement—Bilge Pump For the Quarter Ended March 31 Sales $ 850,000 Variable expenses: Variable manufacturing expenses $ 330,000 Sales commissions 42,000 Shipping 18,000 Total variable expenses 390,000 Contribution margin 460,000 Fixed expenses: Advertising (for the bilge pump product line) 270,000 Depreciation of equipment (no resale value) 80,000 General factory overhead 105,000 * Salary of product-line manager 32,000 Insurance on inventories 8,000 Purchasing department 45,000 † Total fixed expenses 540,000 Net operating loss $ (80,000 ) *Common costs allocated on the basis of machine-hours. †Common costs allocated on the basis of sales dollars. Discontinuing the bilge pump product line would not affect sales of other product lines and would have no effect on the company’s total general factory overhead or total Purchasing Department expenses. Required: What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the bilge pump product line?
Answer:
-$150,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the bilge pump product line
First step is to calculate the fixed expense
Using this formula
Fixed expense
= Advertising (for the bilge pump product line) + Salary of product-line manager + Insurance on inventories
Let plug in the formula
Fixed expense= 270,000 + 32,000 + $8,000
Fixed expense= $310,000
Now let calculate the financial advantage (disadvantage)
Using this formula
Financial advantage (disadvantage) = Fixed expense-Contribution margin
Let plug in the formula
Financial advantage (disadvantage) = $310,000-460,000
Financial advantage (disadvantage) = -$150,000
Therefore the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the bilge pump product line is -$150,000
Suppose that the public holds 50% of the money supply in currency and the reserve requirement is 20%. Banks hold no excess reserves. A customer deposits $6,000 in her checkable deposit. Assume that after receiving the deposit, the bank lends out its excess reserves. When the loan is spent, _____ of the loan will be a checkable deposit and _____ will be held by the public as cash. $6,000; $0
Answer: $2,400; $2,400
Explanation:
If a deposit of $6,000 is made, the reserve requirement is 20% so the bank will have to reserve this amount of:
= 6,000 * 20%
= $1,200
The bank will be left with:
= 6,000 - 1,200
= $4,800
The bank lends all of this out.
The public holds 50% of the currency so they will keep:
= 50% * 4,800
= $2,400
The rest - which is $2,400 - will be deposited as checkable deposits.

Crane, Inc. manufactures two products: missile range instruments and space pressure gauges. During April, 50 range instruments and 200 pressure gauges were produced, and overhead costs of $72,750 were estimated. An analysis of estimated overhead costs reveals the following activities. Activities Cost Drivers Total Cost 1. Materials handling Number of requisitions $30,000 2. Machine setups Number of setups 23,750 3. Quality inspections Number of inspections 19,000 $72,750 The cost driver volume for each product was as follows. Cost Drivers Instruments Gauges Total Number of requisitions 375 625 1,000 Number of setups 175 300 475 Number of inspections 225 250 475
Answer:
Requirement: Determine the overhead rate for each activity "Materials handling, Machine setups, Quality inspections"
Materials handling overhead rate = Total cost / Cost driver volume
Materials handling overhead rate = $30,000 / 1,000
Materials handling overhead rate = $30
Machine setups overhead rate = Total cost / Cost driver volume
Machine setups overhead rate = $23,750 / 475
Machine setups overhead rate = $50
Quality inspections overhead rate = Total cost / Cost driver volume
Quality inspections overhead rate = $19,000 / 475
Quality inspections overhead rate = $40
Garcia Co. sells snowboards. Each snowboard requires direct materials of $119, direct labor of $49, and variable overhead of $64. The company expects fixed overhead costs of $673,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs of $160,000 for the next year. It expects to produce and sell 11,900 snowboards in the next year. What will be the selling price per unit if Garcia uses a markup of 15% of total cost
Answer:
$70 per units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What will be the selling price per unit if Garcia uses a markup of 15% of total cost
First step is to calculate total cost per unit.
Using this formula
Total Cost per unit = Unit Direct materials cost + Unit Direct labor costs + Unit Variable Costs + Unit Fixed Costs
Let plug in the formula
Total Cost per unit = $119 + 49 + 64 + 70
Total Cost per unit = $302
.
Second step is to calculate the Selling Price Per Unit
Selling Price Per Unit = $302 +( 15%*$302)
Selling Price Per Unit = 302 + 45.30
Selling Price Per Unit = $347.30
Third step is to calculate the Total Fixed Costs using this formula
Total Fixed Costs = fixed overhead costs + Fixed selling and administrative costs
Let plug in the formula
Total Fixed Costs=$673,000+$160,000
Total Fixed Costs= $833,000
Now let calculate the Fixed Cost per unit using this formula
Fixed Cost per unit = Total Fixed Costs / Total Units
Let plug in the formula
Fixed Cost per unit =$833,000/11,900
Fixed Cost per unit = $70 per unit
Therefore What will be the selling price per unit if Garcia uses a markup of 15% of total cost is $70 per unit

Annual contracted units 200,000 200,000 200,000
Annual fixed cost $100,000 $200,000 $500,000
Per unit variable cost $15 $14 $13
Which process is best for this contract?
Answer:
FMS
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
For GPE
Given that
Annual contracted unit(Q) = 200000 units
Fixed cost (FC) = $100000
Variable cost (VC) = $15
Now
Total cost = FC + (Q × VC)
= 100000 + (200000 × 15)
= 100000 + 3000000
= $3100000
For FMS
Given that
Annual contracted unit(Q) = 200000 units
Fixed cost (FC) = $200000
Variable cost (VC) = $14
Total cost = FC + (Q × VC)
= 200000 + (200000 × 14)
= 200000 + 2800000
= $3000000
For DM
Given that
Annual contracted unit(Q) = 200000 units
Fixed cost (FC) = $500000
Variable cost (VC) = $13
Total cost = FC + (Q × VC)
= 500000 + (200000 × 13)
= 500000 + 2600000
= $3100000
So for this type of contract FMS is best as it contains the lowest total cost.
Super Clinics offers one service that has the following annual cost and utilization estimates: Variable cost per visit $ 10 Annual direct fixed costs $50,000 Allocation of overhead costs $20,000 Expected utilization 1,000 visits What price per visit must be set if the clinic wants to make an annual profit of $10,000 on the service? A. $ 70 B. $ 80 C. $ 90 D. $100 E. $110
Answer:
C. $ 90
Explanation:
Number of visits = 1,000
Variable cost = $10 × 1,000 = $10,000
Fixed cost = $50,000
Overhead cost = $20,000
Required profit = $10,000
So,Total Cost = Variable Cost+ Fixed Cost+ Overhead Cost
= $10,000 + $50,000 + $20,000
= $80,000
Now, Price per Visit = (Total Cost+ Required Profit) ÷ Number of visits
= ($80,000 + $10,000) ÷ 1,000
= $90,000 ÷ 1,000
= $90
Machinery purchased for $150,000 by Tom Brady Co. in 2010 was originally estimated to have a life of 12 years with a salvage value of $24,000 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been recorded for 7 years on this basis. In 2017, it is determined that the total estimated life should be 15 years with a salvage value of $18,000 at the end of that time. Assume straight-line depreciation.
Instructions:
Determine the depreciation expense for 2017.
Answer:
$7,312.50
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for 2017 is shown below:
Book Value is
= Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
= $150,000 - {[($150,000 - $24,000) ÷ 12 ] × 7y}
= $150,000 - [($126,000 ÷ 12 ) × 7]
= $150,000 - ($10,500 × 7)
= $150,000 - $73,500
= $76,500
Now the depreciation expense for 2017 :
= ($76,500 - $18,000) ÷ (15 - 7) years
= $58,500 ÷ 8 years
= $7,312.50
