Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable overhead 0.2 hours $ 5.10 per hour

The company used 1,660 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $7,802.

To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Actual rate= 7,802/1,660= $4.7

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (5.1 - 4.7)*1,660

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $664 favorable

The per-unit standards for direct labor are 2 direct labor hours at $15 per hour. If in producing 2200 units, the actual direct labor cost was $65600 for 4100 direct labor hours worked, the total direct labor variance is

Answers

Answer:

400 favorable

Explanation:

The computation of total direct labor variance is presented below:-

Total direct labor variance = (Standard rate - Standard hours) × (Actual rate - Actual hours)

= ($15 × (2 × 2,200)) - $65,600

= ($15 × 4,400) - $65,600

= $66,000 - $65,600

= 400 favorable

Therefore for determining the total direct labor variance we simply applied the above formula.

g Mason Company paid its annual property taxes of $240,000 on February 15, 20X9. Mason also anticipates that its annual repairs expense for 20X9 will be $1,200,000. This amount is usually incurred and paid in July and August when operations are shut down so that machinery and equipment can be repaired. What amount should Mason deduct for property taxes and repairs in each quarter for 20X9?

Answers

Answer:

$360,000

Explanation:

The total cost would be estimated as the expense anticipated plus the property taxes paid previously.

Now

Total Cost = $240,000 Property Taxes paid      +     $1,200,000 Property repairs anticipated

= $1,440,000

Now we will distribute the annual cost over the four quarters which mean we will divide the total annual cost by 4.

Quarterly Expenses = $1,440,000 / 4     = $360,000

Knowledge Check 01 On December 31, 2019, Wintergreen, Inc., issued $150,000 of 7 percent, 10-year bonds at a discount of $10,125. The bonds pay interest semiannually. Wintergreen uses the straight-line bond amortization method. The entry to record each interest payment includes a debit to Bond Interest Expense for $5,756, a credit to Discount on Bonds Payable for $506, and a credit to Cash for $5,250. At December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the bonds will equal _____.

Answers

Answer:

Carrying value of bond = $140,887 .50

Explanation:

Balance in discount on bonds account as on Dec 31, 2019 = Total discount on bonds - amortized discount on 30 June, 2019 - discount amortized on Dec 31, 2019

= $10,125 - $506.25 -$506.25

= $9,112.50

Carrying value of the bond = Face value of bond - Balance in discount on bonds account.

= $150,000 - $9,112.50

= $140,887 .50

Note:

Amortization of discount on bonds = Total discount on bond / total number of interest payments

= $10125/(10×2)

= $10125/20

= $506.25

The question is incomplete, below is the completed question:

Lense Laboratories' net income was $250,000. Given the account information below, what is the net operating cash flows for Lense Laboratories?

Increase In Accounts Receivable...$60,000

Increase In Salaries Payable...$50,000

Decrease In Inventory...$30,000

Depreciation Expense...$45,000

Increase In Prepaid Insurance...$3,000

a. $152,000.

b. $278,000.

c. $312,000.

d. $438,000.

The correct answer is:

$312,000 (c.)

Explanation:

operating cash flow is the number of cash generated by a business' regular operating activities within a specific time period.

The formula for net operating cash flow is as follows:

Operating cash flow = Net income + Non-cash expenses - increase in working capital

Net income = $250,000

Non-cash expenses = increase in salary payable + decrease in inventory + depreciation in expenses

Non-cash expenses = 50,000 + 30,000 + 45,000 = $125,000

increase in working capital = increase in accounts receivable + increase in prepaid insurance

increase in working capital = 60,000 + 3,000

increase in working capital = $63,000

∴ Operating cash flow = 250,000 + 125,000 - 63,000 = $312,000

Cash flow from activities = $312,000

Suppose you observe the following situation: Security Beta Expected Return A 1.16 .1137 B .92 .0984 Assume these securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the return on the market

Answers

Answer: 10.35%

Explanation:

The Capital Asset Pricing Model is used to calculate the expected return of a security with the expression

Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta ( Market return - risk free rate)

( Market return - risk free rate) is also known as the market premium and can be calculated by;

= [tex]\frac{Expected return on A - Expected return on B}{Beta for A - Beta for B}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{0.1137 - 0.0934}{1.16 - 0.92}[/tex]

= 0.0153/0.24

= 6.375%

= 6.38%

Expected return A = Risk free rate + Beta A ( Market return - risk free rate)

0.1137 = Risk free rate + 1.16 (6.38%)

Risk free rate = 0.1137 - 1.16(6.38%)

Risk free rate = 3.97%

Market Expected return = Market Risk Premium + risk free rate

= 6.38% + 3.97%

= 10.35%

Shaw and Maya agree to a total contract price of $920,000. How much of the contract price should Maya allocate to the machine, installation, and training, respectively?

Answers

Answer:  $736,000; $92,000; $92,000

Explanation:

The amount allocated will be proportional based on the cost of each when in a separate contracts.

Total when in separate contracts = 800,000 + 100,000 + 100,000

= $1,000,000

Proportion of Machine = 800,000/1,000,000

= 8/10

Proportion of Installation = 100,000/1,000,000

= 1/10

Proportion of Training = 100,000/1,000,000

= 1/10

Cost to allocate to Machine

= 8/10 * 920,000

= $736,000

Cost to allocate to Installation

= 1/10 * 920,000

= $92,000

Cost to allocate to Training

= 1/10 * 920,000

= $92,000

Answer: $736,000; $92,000; $92,000

Numbers of right needed 5.8

C.Ex-rights price $40.82

Value of a right $1.18

D.Portfolio value before the right offer $84,000

Portfolio value after the right offer $84,000

Explanation:

A.

The maximum possible subscription price based on the information given will be $42 per Shares

The minimum price will be anything that is greater or higher that $0

B. Calculation for how many shares must be sold

Using this formula

Number of new shares =Journal of Financial Excess amount /Subscription price per share

Let plug in the formula

Number of new shares=$17,000,000/ $34 per share

Number of new shares=$500,000

Calculation for how many rights will it take to buy one share

Using this formula

Numbers of right needed=Shares Outstanding/Number of new Shares

Let plug in the formula

Numbers of right needed=$2,900,000/$500,000

Numbers of right needed=5.8

C. Calculation for the ex-rights price

Using this formula

Ex-rights price=(Numbers of right needed*Maximum possible subscription price +Subscription price per share)/(Numbers of right needed+ One shares)

Let plug in the formula

Ex-rights price=(5.8*$42+$34)/(5.8+1)

Ex-rights price=$277.6/6.8

Ex-rights price=$40.82

Calculation for the value of a right

Using this formula

Value of a right =maximum possible subscription price-Ex-rights price

Let plug in the formula

Value of a right=$42-$40.82

Value of a right=$1.18

D. Calculation for What is his portfolio value before the right offer

Using this formula

Portfolio value before the right offer= Shareholders Shares *Maximum possible subscription price

Let plug in the formula

Portfolio value before the right offer=2,000*42

Portfolio value before the right offer=$84,000

Calculation for What is his portfolio value after the right offer

Using this formula

Portfolio value after the right offer=(Shareholders Shares*Ex-rights price) +(Shareholders Shares*Value of a right)

Let plug in the formula

Portfolio value after the right offer=(2,000*40.82)+(2,000*1.18)

Portfolio value after the right offer=$81,640+$2,360

Portfolio value after the right offer=$84,000

Answer:

The first dramatic swing happened in the 1970s when there was a sharp rise in the real price of oil caused by the formation of OPEC.

In 1973, the World saw it's first oil spike when members of the Organization of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) being mostly Muslims, decided to punish the Western World for their perceived support of the Israelis in the Yom Kippur War. They placed an embargo on the sale of oil to the West and because they controlled 56% of the then World supply, this was enough to force the price of oil up due to the reduction in demand.

The second swing happened in the 2000s when there was a sharp rise in the real price of oil caused by increased demand from emerging economies.

From the early 2000s to 2008, the price of oil kept rising steadily till it reached around $147.30 in July 2008. This rise in prices was due to increased demand from newly industrialized and emerging nations like China that needed the oil to maintain their rapid growth.

The most recent swing happened in 2008 when there was a sharp drop in the real price of oil caused by a large financial crisis.

By December 2008, the price of oil had fallen to $32 and this was down to the global recession that was ravaging the World known as the Great Recession. As the world saw economic output fall, demand for oil decreased sharply thereby forcing the price of oil to fall dramatically.

A share of stock is now selling for $120. It will pay a dividend of $10 per share at the end of the year. Its beta is 1. What must investors expect the stock to sell for at the end of the year? Assume the risk-free rate is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market is 18%. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

P1 = 131.6566627 rounded off to $131.66

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the stock at the end of the year or P1, we first need to determine the required rate of return on the stock and the growth rate in dividends.

The required rate of return can be found using the CAPM equation. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate rM is the return on market

r = 0.06 + 1 * (0.18 - 0.06)

r = 0.18 or 18%

Now we assume that the stock is a constant growth stock which means that the growth in dividends is expected to be constant throughout. The price of such a stock is found using the constant growth model of DDM. The formula for price today under the constant growth model is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

P0 is price today D1 is expected dividend for the next period g is the growth rate in dividends

Plugging in the available variables, g is,

120 = 10 / (0.18 - g)

120* (0.18 - g) = 10

21.6 - 120g = 10

g = (10 - 21.6) / -120

g = 0.096667 or 9.6667% rounded off to 9.67%

So to calculate the price at the end of the year or P1, we will use D2.

P1 = 10 * (1+0.0967) / (0.18 - 0.0967)

P1 = 131.6566627 rounded off to $131.66

After the initial offering, the bonds are trading in the secondary market at 105, while the stock is trading at $10. Which statements are TRUE?

Answers

Answer:

B I and IV

Explanation:

Each bond could be transformed into common stock at $10.50 par value. So the bond should be equivalent to the 95 shares that comes from

= $1,000 ÷ $10.50 per share

= 95 shares

Currently price of the bond is $1,050

Now each share price is

= $1,050 ÷ 95 shares

= $11.05

As the common stock is traded at $10 that represents the stock is less than parity and therefore there is no means to transform the shares

hence, B option is correct

Two investment advisors are comparing performance. Advisor A averaged a 20% return with a portfolio beta of 1.5 and Advisor B averaged a 15% return with a portfolio beta of 1.2. If the T-bill rate was 5% and the market return during the period was 13%, which advisor was the better stock picker?

Answers

Answer:

Advisor A

Explanation:

t bill rate = 0.05

market rate = 0.13

the beta of the market is always 1

the rate of return= 0.05 + (0.13 - 0.05) x 1

= 0.13

which is 13%

this is for advisor A.

with a return of 20% and 1.5 beta

0.05 + ( 0.20 - 0.05) x 1.5

= 27.5% for advisor b

when the return is 15% and beta is 1.2

0.05 + (0.15 - 0.05) x 1.2

= 17%

Therefore advisor a is better
