Answer:
straight line depreciation:
depreciation expense per year, the same for every year = ($60,000 - $12,000) / 14 = $3,428.57
book value end of year 1 = $56,571.43
book value end of year 2 = $53,142.86
book value end of year 3 = $49,714.29
book value end of year 4 = $46,285.72
book value end of year 5 = $42,857.15
double declining balance:
deprecation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/14 x $60,000 = $8,571.43
book value end of year 1 = $51,428.57
deprecation expense year 2 = 2 x 1/14 x $51,428.57 = $7,346.94
book value end of year 2 = $44,081.63
deprecation expense year 3 = 2 x 1/14 x $44,081.63 = $6,297.38
book value end of year 3 = $37,784.25
deprecation expense year 4 = 2 x 1/14 x $37,784.25 = $5,397.75
book value end of year 4 = $32,386.50
deprecation expense year 5 = 2 x 1/14 x $32,386.50 = $4,626.64
book value end of year 5 = $27,759.86
sum of digits:
depreciable value = $60,000 - $12,000 = $48,000
total sum of digits = 120 years
deprecation expense year 1 = $48,000 x 15/120 = $6,000
book value end of year 1 = $54,000
deprecation expense year 2 = $48,000 x 14/120 = $5,600
book value end of year 2 = $48,400
deprecation expense year 3 = $48,000 x 13/120 = $5,200
book value end of year 3 = $43,200
deprecation expense year 4 = $48,000 x 12/120 = $4,800
book value end of year 4 = $38,400
deprecation expense year 5 = $48,000 x 11/120 = $4,400
book value end of year 5 = $34,000
if average demand for invenrory item is 200 units per day lead time is three days and safety stock is 1-- units the reorder point is
please do you mean 1 unit for safety stock or 100 units, will solve for both
Answer:when safety stock =1, Reorder point= 601 units
when safety stock =100, Reorder point= 700 units
Explanation:
Reorder Point (ROP), also called reorder level, is the point of inventoryset by a busness in which it replenishes its stock of items.
given:
Average demand= 200
lead time = 3
when safety stock =1
Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock
= (200 x 3 ) +1 = 601 units
when safety stock = 100
Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock
= (200 x 3 ) +100 = 700 units

How much time, on average, would a server need to spend on a customer to achieve a service rate of 20 customers per hour?
Answer:
3 hour 18 minutes or 3 hour
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of time on average is shown below:-
The Average waiting time in the system
= [tex]\frac{1}{\mu} -\gamma[/tex]
Now we will put the values into the above formula to reach the time on average which is here below:-
[tex]= \frac{1}{20} - 1[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1}{19}[/tex]
= 0.053 × 60 minutes
= 3 hours 18 minutes
We assume [tex]\gamma[/tex] is 1 hour
Therefore for computing the time on average we simply applied the above formula.
1. The Lounge Company manufactures slippers and sells them at $10 a pair. Variable manufacturing cost is $4.75 a pair, and allocated fixed manufacturing cost is $0.75 a pair. It has enough idle capacity available to accept a one-time-only special order of 30,000 pairs of slippers at $5.50 a pair. Lounge will not incur any marketing costs as a result of the special order. What would the effect on operating income be if the special order could be accepted without affecting normal sales: (a) $0, (b) $22,500 increase, (c) $142,500 increase, or (d) $165,000 increase? Show your calculations. 2. The St. Paul Company manufactures Part No. 498 for use in its production line. The manufacturing cost per unit for 25,000 units of Part No. 498 is as follows:
Answer:
1. The Lounge Company
The effect on operating income be if the special order could be accepted without affecting normal sales:
(b) $22,500 increase
2. Manchester
Explanation:
1. The Lounge Company:
Selling price = $10 per pair
Variable manufacturing cost = $4.75 per pair
Allocated fixed manufacturing cost = $0.75 per pair
Total manufacturing costs = $5.50
Special order of 30,000 pairs
Price of special order = $5.50 per pair
Sales value of special special order = $165,000 (30,000 x $5.50)
Manufacturing cost for special order:
Based on full cost = $165,000 (30,000 x $5.50)
Based on variable cost = $142,500 (30,000 x $4.75)
Contribution = $22,500 ($165,000 - $142,500)
The special order will not bring about any increase in operating income if the full cost is used to determine the net income. If, however, the variable cost is used, considering that The Lounge Company has idle capacity, then there is a contribution of $22,500 to the operating income.

Which of the following would increase the likelihood that a company would increase its debt ratio, other things held constant? a. The company's stock price hits a new low. b. An increase in costs incurred when filing for bankruptcy. c. An increase in the personal tax rate. d. The Federal Reserve tightens interest rates in an effort to fight inflation. e. An increase in the corporate tax rate.
Answer:
Option e: An increase in the corporate tax rate
Explanation:
Corporate income tax rate is used to know how much people are willing to invest their new capital and also where they will place that new capital.
An increase in it is likely to encourage a company to use more debt in its capital structure.
The lower the corporate tax rate, the more it drives or leads to growth in capital stock, wages, jobs and others while the higer(increase) in corporate income tax rate, the more it affects economic decisions.
An Increase in a company's debt ratio will therefore lead to an increase in the marginal cost of both debt and equity financing. Also this action may lower the company's WACC
Mr. Fred Mitchell is requesting the birth record for Amy, his birth daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell gave Amy up for adoption four years ago. Should you release the records to him? Why or why not?
Answer: No you should not
Explanation:
Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell gave Amy up for adoption four years ago and in effect legally voided their guardianship of her. As far as the law is concerned, they are no longer Amy's parents. As such, Mr Fred Mitchell requesting for information on the girl is akin to a stranger doing the same and so cannot be honored, at least not without the consent of the new parents.
A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 5.5%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 15 % 32 % Bond fund (B) 9 % 23 % The correlation between the fund returns is 0.15. What is the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL?
Answer:
0.296875
Explanation:
Given the following :
Probability distribution of risky funds :
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - stock fund(S) - - bond fund(B)
Expected return - - - 15% - - - - - - - - - - 9%
Std - - - - - - - - - - - - - 32% - - - - - - - - - - 23%
Correlation between funds return = 0.15
Sure rate = 5.5%
To calculate the Sharpe ratio we use the formula :
Sharpe Ratio = (Expected Return of Investment - Risk Free Rate) / Standard Deviation of excess return of investment
For the stock fund :
Expected return = 15%
Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%
Standard deviation = 32%
Sharpe ratio of stock fund :
(15% - 5.5%) / 32%
= 9.5% / 32%
= 0.296875
For Bond fund :
Expected return = 9%
Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%
Standard deviation = 23%
Sharpe ratio of bond fund :
(9% - 5.5%) / 23%
= 3.5% / 23%
= 0.1521739
Therefore the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is the higher of the two ratios which is 0.296875
Green Thumb Garden Tools Inc. produces and sells home and garden tools and equipment. A lawnmower has a total cost of $230 per unit, of which $160 is product cost and $70 is selling and administrative expenses. In addition, the total cost of $230 is made up of $120 variable cost and $110 fixed cost. The desired profit is $58 per unit. Determine the markup percentage on product cost.
Answer:
80%
Explanation:
The computation of markup percentage on product cost is shown below:-
Markup percentage on product cost = ((Selling and administrative expenses + Desired profit) ÷ Product cost) × 100
= (($70 + $58) ÷ $160) × 100
= 0.8
or
= 80%
Therefore for computing the markup percentage on product cost we simply applied the above formula.

Kodiak's absorption costing concept incorporates all production costs into the cost of products. This means that the cost of production includes all variable and fixed costs associated with production. Costs that are not related to production are treated as period costs. Whereas, with variable costing technique, only the variables costs of production are included in the costs of production. All fixed costs, including factory overheads are treated as period costs.

Additional information:________.
1. Common stock outstanding January 1, 2020, was 16,000 shares, and 24,000 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2020.
2. The market price of Myers stock was $9.59 in 2020.
3. Cash dividends of $19,600 were paid, $3,000 of which were to preferred stockholders.
Compute the following measures for 2020. (Round Earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.65, and all other answers to 1 decimal place, e.g. 6.8 or 6.8%.)
(a) Earnings per share $
(b) Price-earnings ratio times
(c) Payout ratio %
(d) Times interest earned times
Answer:
a. $6.85
b. 1.4 times
c. 11.9%
d. 17 times
Explanation:
a) Weighted Average number of common shares outstanding = (Number of common shares outstanding in the beginning + Number of common shares outstanding in the end)/2
= (16,000 +24,000) /2
= 20,000 shares
Earnings per share = (Net income – Preferred stock dividend)/Weighted Average number of common shares outstanding
= (140,000 - 3,000) / 20,000
= 137,000/20,000
= $6.85
b) Price earnings ratio = Market price of 1 common share/Earnings per share
= 9.59 / 6.85
= 1.4 times
c) Payout ratio = Cash dividends on common stock/Net income
= 16,600 / 140,000
= 0.11857
= 11.9%
d) Times interest earned = (Net income + Interest expense + Tax expense) / Interest expense
= (140,000 + 10,000 + 20,000)/10,000
= 170,000 / 10,000
= 17 times
A monopoly's cost function is
C = 1.5q^2 + 40 Q
and its the demand for its product is
p = 320-0.5Q
where Q is output, p is price, and C is the total cost of production. Determine the profit-maximizing price and output for a monopoly. The profit maximizing output level is units. (Enter a numeric response using an integer)
Answer:
70 units
Explanation:
The computation of profit maximizing output level is shown below:-
Monopolist perform Marginal Revenue which equivalent to the Marginal Cost as
MR = Marginal Revenue and MC = Marginal Cost
[tex]MR = \frac{\partial TR}{\partial Q} = \frac{\partial PQ}{\partial Q} = \frac{\partial (320-0.5Q)Q}{\partial Q}[/tex]
[tex]MR = \frac{\partial (320Q -0.5Q^2)}{\partial Q}[/tex]
MR = 320 - Q
Now we will find the MC which is
[tex]MC = \frac{\partial TC}{\partial Q} =\frac{\partial (1.5Q^2 + 40Q)}{\partial Q} = 3Q + 40[/tex]
now we will put the value of which is into MR = MC
320 - Q = 3Q + 40
280 = 4Q
70 = Q
So, the profit maximizing output level is 70 units.

Read Eye on Fiscal Stimulus. How big was the fiscal stimulus package of 2008-2009, how many jobs was it expected to create, and how large was the multiplier implied by that expectation? Did the stimulus work?
Answer:
1. $787 billion
2. 650,000; 1.6
3. did not meet; the multiplier was much smaller than 1.6
Explanation:
The fiscal stimulus package of 2008-2009 was $787 billion. This is because, the United States government wanted to increase spending in order to have sufficient economic growth. Thus, the fiscal stimulus was expected to create 650,000 JOBS, in which the multiplier implied by that expectation is 1.6.
However, the stimulus did fiscal stimulus did not work, as it DID NOT MEET the expectations of the Obama administration, simply because "the multiplier was much smaller than 1.6"
On February 1, 2020, Pat Weaver Inc. (PWI) issued 9%, $1,200,000 bonds for $1,500,000. PWI retired all of these bonds on January 1, 2021, at 105. Unamortized bond premium on that date was $126,000. How much gain or loss should be recognized on this bond retirement
Answer: Gain on bond retirement = $66,000
Explanation:
A gain on retirement of bonds occurs when a bond issuer or a corporation buys back bonds which it previously sold for an amount less than the book value of the particular liability while a loss would be recognized if the bought back bonds are more than the amount of the book value of the liability.
Book value / Carrying value = $1,200,000 + $126,000 =$1,326,000
paid at redemption = $1,200,000 x 105%= $1, 260,000
Gain on bond retirement = Book/ Carrying value -Amount paid at redemption
= $1,326,000 - $1, 260,000 = $66,000
e. Assume that the average price of a new home is $132,500. If new homes are increasing at a rate of 8% per year, how much will a new home cost in seven years? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
A new home will cost $227081.72 in seven years.
Explanation:
To calculate the value or price of the new home in seven years, we need to calculate the future value of $132500 increasing at a rate of 8% per year for 7 years. The formula to calculate the future value will be,
Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t
Where,
r is the rate which will be used for compoundingt is the time in number of yearsFuture value = 132500 * (1+0.08)^7
Future value = $227081.7156 rounded off to $227081.72

Suppose the firms in a perfectly competitive industry merge to form a monopoly. Which of the following would NOT occur?
a. A rise in total consumer plus producer surplus
b. A deadweight loss
c. A rise in producer surplus
d. A fall in consumer surplus
Answer: a. A rise in total consumer plus producer surplus
Explanation:
When a Monopoly is formed, the Producer surplus will increase but the Consumer surplus will decrease. This is because a Monopoly will charge a higher price than a Competitive firm to get more profit as well reduce output as well.
This will result in the transfer of some Consumer surplus to the Producer as well as a Dead-weight loss being formed thereby reducing the Consumer surplus. The total surplus will therefore fall as a result of this merger.

if average daily demand for an item is 15 units safety stock is 55 units and lead time is three days the rop will be
Answer:ROP= Reorder Point = 100
Explanation:
Reorder Point (ROP), also called reorder level, is the level of inventory which causes that the stock of a business is replenished. When a stock is being utilized and reaches a set amount by a firm, it holds that such item be reordered or replenished.
ROP= Reorder Point = (Average Daily Usage x Average Lead Time in Days) + Safety Stock
=(15 x 3) + 55 = 100
This means that when the inventory level of stock falls to 100, the commodity or item should be reordered.
Budgeted variable overhead for the year is $150,000. Expected activity is 30,000 standard direct labor hours. The actual hours worked were 15,000 and the standard hours allowed for actual production were 18,000. The variable overhead efficiency variance is:
Answer:
-$15,000 favorable variance
Explanation:
variable overhead efficiency variance = standard overhead rate x (actual hours - standard hours)
standard variable overhead rate = $150,000 / 30,000 = $5actual hours 15,000standard hours 18,000variable overhead efficiency variance = $5 x (15,000 - 18,000) = $5 x (-3,000) = -$15,000 favorable variance
Suppose the real risk-free rate is 3.50%,the average future inflation rate is 2.50%, a maturity premium of 0.20% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.20%(t), where t is the years to maturity. Suppose also that a liquidity premium of 0.50% and a default risk premium of 0.80% applies to A-rated corporate bonds.
Required:
What is the difference in the yields on a 5-year A-rated corporate bond and on a 10-year Treasury bond?
Answer:
the 5 year A-rated corporate bond yields 0.3% more than the 10-year Treasury bond
Explanation:
the yield of a 10 year treasury bond = real risk free rate + average future inflation rate + (maturity premium x number of years) = 3.5% + 2.5% + (20% x 10 years) = 8%
the yield of a 5 year A-rated corporate bond = real risk free rate + average future inflation rate + liquidity premium + default risk premium + (maturity premium x number of years) = 3.5% + 2.5% + 0.5% + 0.8% + (20% x 5 years) = 8.3%
difference in yields = 8.3% - 8% = 0.3%
