Bryce Co. sales are $801,000, variable costs are $465,100, and operating income is $287,000. What is the contribution margin ratio
Answer:
Contribution margin ratio= 0.42
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Bryce Co. sales are $801,000
Variable costs are $465,100
Operating income is $287,000.
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
contribution margin ratio= (sales - variable cost) / sales
contribution margin ratio= (801,000 - 465,100) / 801,000
contribution margin ratio= 0.42
f the nominal interest rate is 7 percent and the real interest rate "is -2.5" percent, then the inflation rate is
Answer:
9.7%
Explanation:
(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real rate) x (1 + inflation rate)
1.07 = 0.975 x (1 + inflation rate)
(1 + inflation rate) = 1.07 / 0.975
(1 + inflation rate) = 1.097
Inflation rate = 1.097 - 1 = 0.097 = 9.7%

*Contains direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.
Janet Dunn, who has just been appointed general manager of the Westwood Plant, has been given instructions to "get things under control." Upon reviewing the plant’s income statement, Ms. Dunn has concluded that the major problem lies in the variable cost of goods sold. She has been provided with the following standard cost per swimming pool:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price
or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 3.6 pounds $
2.00
per pound $ 7.20
Direct labor 0.5 hours $
6.60
per hour 3.30
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.3 hours* $
2.10
per hour
0.63
Total standard cost per unit $ 11.13
*Based on machine-hours.
During June the plant produced 3,000 pools and incurred the following costs:
Purchased 15,800 pounds of materials at a cost of $2.45 per pound.
Used 10,600 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.)
Worked 2,100 direct labor-hours at a cost of $6.30 per hour.
Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $3,000 for the month. A total of 1,200 machine-hours was recorded.
It is the company’s policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a monthly basis.
Required:
1. Compute the following variances for June:
a. Materials price and quantity variances.
b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.
c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances.
2. Summarize the variances that you computed in (1) above by showing the net overall favorable or unfavorable variance for the month.
Answer:
1 a. Materials price and quantity variances.
Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) * Actual Quantity purchased
= ($2.45 - $2) * 15,800
= $0.45 * 15,800
= $7110 (Unfavorable)
Materials Quantity variance = (Actual Quantity used - Standard Quantity allowed) * Standard price
(10600 - 3000 * 3.6) * $2
= (10,600 - 10,800) * $2
= 200 * $2
= 400 (Favorable)
b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.
Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate) * Actual hours
= (6.30 - 6.6) * 2,100
= 0.3 * 2,100
= 630 (Favorable)
Labor Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed) * Standard rate
= (2100 - 3000 * 0.5) * 6.6
= (2,100 - 1,500) * 6.6
= 600 * 6.6
= 3960 (Unfavorable)
c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances
Variable overhead rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate * Actual machine hours)
= 3000 - (2.10 * 1200)
= 3,000 - 2,520
= 480 Unfavorable
Variable overhead Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed)* Standard rate
= (1200 - 3000 * 0.3) * 2.10
= (1200 - 900) * 2.10
= 300 * 2.10
= 630 (Unfavorable)
2. Variances Amount
Material price variance 7,110 U
Material quantity variance 400 F
Labor rate variance 630 F
Labor efficiency variance 3,960 U
Variable overhead rate variance 480 U
Variable overhead efficiency variance 630 U
Net variance 11,150 U
The net variance of all the variance of the month is 11,150 (Unfavorable)

Moped, Inc. purchased machinery at a cost of $44,000 on January 1, 2017. The expected useful life is 5 years and the asset is expected to have salvage value of $4,000. Moped depreciates its assets using the double-declining balance method. What is the firm's depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2017?
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $16,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $44,000
Useful life= 5 years
Salvage value= $4,000
To calculate the depreciation expense under the double-declining balance, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Annual depreciation= 2*[(44,000 - 4,000) / 5]
Annual depreciation= 16,000

According to page 22 of eBay's March 2014 Definitive Proxy statement on the SEC's website, the President and CEO Mr John J. Donahoe, beneficially owned 2,663,844 shares in the company. This includes, 2,083,628 shares that he can acquire pursuant to some Options and 35,306 in Restricted stock units.
Hankins, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $5.3 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 3 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .52, a cost of equity of 13.2 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 6.6 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of 1 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects.Required:a. Calculate the WACC.b. What is the maximum cost the company would be willing to pay for this project?
Answer:
a.
WACC - Company = 10.94%
WACC - Project = 11.94%
b.
The maximum that the company will be willing to pay for this project is $61.0626 million
Explanation:
a.
To calculate the maximum cost that the company will be willing to pay today, we first need to find out the company and project WACC.
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a company's capital structure. It is calculated as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
d, p and e represents debt, preferred stock and common equityw represents the weight of each componentr represents the cost of each componentWeightage of debt and equity
Total assets = debt + equity
Total assets = 0.52 + 1 = 1.52
wD = 0.52/1.52
wE = 1/1.52
WACC - Company = 0.52/1.52 * 0.066 + 1/1.52 * 0.132
WACC - Company = 0.1094 or 10.94%
WACC of project is 1% more than WACC of company. So WACC of project is 10.94% + 1% = 11.94%
b.
The maximum that must be paid for this project can be calculated by calculating the present value of the cash flows provided in form of saving by this project.
Using the constant growth model of cash flow approach,
Present value = 5.3 * (1+0.03) / (0.1194 - 0.03)
Present value = $61.0626 million

Craig's Car Wash Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's discounted payback?
WACC: 10.00%
Year : Cash flows
0 : -$900
1 : $500
2 : $500
3 : $500
Answer:
Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month
Explanation:
The discounted payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes the present value of net cash inflow from a project to equate the net cash the initial cost
To work out the discounted payback period, we will compute present value of the cash inflow and then determine how long it will take for the sum to be equal to the initial cost. This is done as follows:
Year Cash flow DF Present value
0 900 × 1 = 900
1 500 × 1.1^(-1) = 454.55
2 500 × 1.1^(-2) = 413.22
2 500 × 1.1^(-3) = 375.66
Total PV for 2 years = 454.55 + 413.22 = 867.77
Balance of cash flow remaining to equal 900 = 900 -867.77 = 32.23
Discounted payback period = 32.23 /375.66 × 12 months
= 2 years 1 month
Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month

A bond pays a semiannual coupon, and the last coupon was paid 61 days ago. If the annual coupon payment is $75, what is the accrued interest
Answer:
$12.57
Explanation:
Calculation for the accrued interest
Using this formula
Accrued interest =(Annual coupon payment/2) * (The numbers of days the last coupon was paid/182)
Note that Semiannual means the that annual coupon payment happened twice in a year which is from January to June and from July to December and Secondly let assumed that we have $182 days in the 6 months period.
Let plug in the formula
Accrued interest=(75/2) × (61/182)
Accrued interest=37.5*0.33516
Accrued interest=$12.57
Therefore the Accrued interest will be $12.57
Indicate the type of Deferred Tax account created by Unearned Revenues and Prepaid Expenses, respectively:
Answer:
The answer is Deferred tax asset and Deferred tax liability.
Explanation:
Unearned revenue creates deferred tax asset. In here, taxes have been paid because income has been received but have not been recognized on the income statement because according to the revenue recognition, the services for the revenue has not been rendered.
Prepaid expenses give rise to deferred tax liability. In here, taxes have been recognized on income statement but the actual tax has not been paid. Income tax expense on income statement is greater than taxes payable

Explanation:
Bailey and Sons has a levered beta of 1.10, its capital structure consists of 40% debt and 60% equity, and its tax rate is 40%. What would Bailey's beta be if it used no debt, i.e., what is its unlevered beta? a. 0.79 b. 0.67 c. 0.71 d. 0.64 e. 0.75
Answer:
Option A. 0.79
Explanation:
All we have to do is convert the levered beta into unlevered beta (100% equity financed). So we will use the following formula to find unlevered beta:
Unlevered Beta = Levered Beta / (1 + (1+T)* D/E)
Here,
Tax rate is 40%
Debt is 40%
Equity is 60%
And Levered Beta is 1.10
Now by putting values, we have:
Unlevered Beta = 1.10 / (1 + (1 - 0.4)* 40% / 60%)
Unlevered Beta = 1.10 / (1 + 0.6 * .667)
Unlevered Beta = 1.10 / (1 + 0.4)
Unlevered Beta = 1.10 / (1.4)
Unlevered Beta = 0.786 which after rounding off we have 0.79
The problem with average-cost pricing regulation is that once it is in place, there is a tendency for the:________
a. ATC curve to shift upward.
b. MR curve to shift leftward.
c. D curve to shift leftward.
d. ATC curve to shift downward.
e. D curve to shift rightward.
Answer:
a. ATC curve to shift upward
Explanation:
Average cost pricing is a form of pricing that appears as one of the ways in which the government operates a monopoly market. The government, however, may utilize average cost pricing as a tool to oversee prices monopolists may charge.
In other words, this implies that Monopolists always incline to produce less than the optimal amount boosting the prices up.
Hence, the problem with average-cost pricing regulation is that once it is in place, there is a tendency for the: "Average Total Cost curve to shift upward." This can be a result of an increase in output and reduction price
Internal service funds are most commonly reported in which section of the Government-wide financial statements?
a. governmental activities.
b. business type activities.
c. both A & B.
d. neither of the above.
Answer: a. Governmental activities
Explanation:
Internal Service funds in Government record entries that are related to the provision of goods and services from one government department to another on a cost reimbursement basis. The fund therefore shows the cost of providing some goods and services.
In Government-wide financial statements, it is therefore recorded under Governmental activities as it has to do with internal Government departments.
If a municipality is expecting to receive federal funding for mass-transit programs, it could borrow against the expected funds to be received by issuing:_____.
A. BANs.
B. TANs.
C. GANs.
D. CLNs.
Answer:
Option C (GANs) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
GAN refers to "Grant Anticipation Notice". This can indeed be distributed by a municipality or community to "move forward" as well as make the proper use of another government grant extra funds expected future economic in the years ahead. Those other state grant monies are being used for investments in mass transportation, energy efficiency, including environmental regulations.The other three alternatives are not related to the given instance. So that the above would be the appropriate one.
A project has an initial cost of $60,000, expected net cash inflows of $14,000 per year for 7 years, and a cost of capital of 13%. What is the project's discounted payback period
Answer:
Discounted payback period = 6.68 years
Explanation:
Year Cash inflow$ Discounted cash Cumulative discounted
inflow$ cash inflow$
1 14,000 12,389 12,389
2 14,000 10,964 23,353
3 14,000 9,703 33,056
4 14,000 8,586 41,643
5 14,000 7,599 49,241
6 14,000 6,724 55,966
7 14,000 5,951 61,917
Discounted cash inflow is calculated by discounting cash inflow at 13%. For example, discounted cash-flow in year 1 = 14,000 / (1+13%)^1 = 12,389.
Similarly, discounted cash-flow in year 2 = 14,000 / (1+13%)^2 = 10,964. And so on.
Cumulative cash-flows are sum of all cashflows till that year. For example, year 2 cumulative cashflow = 12,389 + 10,964 = 23,353.
Similarly, year 3 cumulative cash-flow = 23,353 + 9,703 = 33,056.
This cumulative cash-flow crosses 60,000 in year 7, so discounted payback period = 6 + (60,000-55,966) / 5,951
Discounted payback period = 6.68 years

Also, according to the question, new liability amounts to = $10,000,000
Therefore,
Total Stockholder's Equity = Total assets - Total Liabilities
= $235,535,291 - $139,957,573 - $10,000,000
= $85,577,718
Leverage = Total Assets ÷ Total Stockholder's Equity
= $235,535,291 ÷ $85,577,718
= 2.7
According to the above analysis, statements (b) and (e) are true.
Answer :
b.Total Assets will rise to $235,535,291.
e.Total liabilities will be $139,957,573.
Explanation:
The following statements are true :
Working notes :
Total Assets = $235,535,291 Total Liabilities =$139,957,573 New Liability = $10,000,000Formula:
Total Stockholder's Equity = Total assets - Total Liabilities
Total Stockholder's Equity = $235,535,291 - $139,957,573 - $10,000,000
Total Stockholder's Equity = $85,577,718
Leverage = Total Assets ÷ Total Stockholder's Equity Leverage= $235,535,291 ÷ $85,577,718 Leverage= 2.7
According to the above scenario the correct answer is B and E.

If a company would still have a cash flow item even if they rejected potential new Project A, should this particular cash flow item be included in Project A's cash flow analysis?
Answer: No
Explanation:
When computing a project analysis for a project, only relevant cash flow should be included in the Project's cash flow analysis. Relevant cash-flow are those that will only occur if the project was embarked on.
If the cash flow in question is still going to occur even if the project wasn't initiated as is the case with Project A, it is not a relevant cash-flow and should not be included in the cash-flow analysis.
A group of workers normally consists of 60 men, 30 women and 20 boys. They are paid at standard hourly rates as under:
Men Rs. 280.00
Women Rs. 160.00
Boys Rs. 140.00
In a normal working week of 40 hours, the group is expected to produce 5,000 units of output.
During the week ending on March 21, 2021 the group consisted of 70 men, 25 women, and 25 boys. The actual wages paid were Rs. 270, Rs. 165 and Rs. 130 respectively. 4,500 units were produced.
The Company is using Flexible Budgeting.
Calculate:
2(a) Labour cost variance
2(b)Labour rate variance
2(c) Labour efficiency variance
Given:
Standard Number of men = 60
Standard Number of women = 30
Standard Number of boys = 20
Standard hour rate for men = R.s 280
Standard hour rate for women = R.s 160
Standard hour rate for boys = R.s 140
Weekly working hour = 40 hours
Expected unit = 5,000 units
Number of men in march week = 70
Number of women in march week = 25
Number of boy in march week = 25
Actual wage for men = R.s 270
Actual wage for women = R.s 165
Actual wage for boys = R.s 130
Actual units = 4,500 units
Find:
Labour cost varianceLabour rate varianceLabour efficiency varianceComputation:
Labour cost variance = [SC for AO] - AC
Labour cost variance = [( 70 × 280) + (25 × 160) + (25 × 140)] - [(70 × 270) + (25 × 165) + (25 × 130)] × 40
Labour cost variance = (27,100 - 26,275 ) × 40
Labour cost variance = R.s 33,000 (F)
Labour rate variance = (SR - AR) × AH worked
Labour rate variance = [(280 - 270)70 + (160 - 165)25 + (140 - 130)25]40
Labour rate variance = [700 - 125 + 250]40
Labour rate variance = [825]40
Labour rate variance = R.s 33000 (F)
Labour efficiency variance = (SH allowed - AH worked)SR
Labour efficiency variance = (0 - 0)SR
Labour efficiency variance = 0
