Answer:
The increase in operating profit is $1,829.00.
Explanation:
The rise or fall in the operating income:
= Purchase unit × ( offer price- direct material- direct labor- variable overhead)
The rise or fall in the operating income: = 1550× (2 - 0.26 - 0.4 - 0.16)
The rise or fall in the operating income: = $1829
Therefore the profit will increase by $1829
Here all the fixed cost is not considered because it is a sunk cost and variable and administrative expenses are also not considered because these costs are not going to be incurred for offer.
In October, Vaughn Company reports 21,200 actual direct labor hours, and it incurs $118,830 of manufacturing overhead costs. Standard hours allowed for the work done is 23,300 hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $4.95 per direct labor hour. Compute the total overhead variance.
Answer:
The answer is $3,495F
Explanation:
The formula for computing total overhead variance is:
Actual overhead - overhead applied.
Overhead applied = overhead rate x standard hours allowed for the workdone.
$4.95 x 23,300 hours
=$115,335
Actual overhead is $118,830
Therefore, we have:
$118,830 - $115,335
= $3,495F
The F in the answer means favourable. The actual overhead incurred is greater than the overhead absorbed.
2. At an oral auction for used car, half of all bidders have a value of $1,500 and half have a value of $1,900. What is the expected winning bid if there are three bidders
Answer: $1,700
Explanation:
The expected winning bid is the weighted average of the 2 different bids.
Half of the bids are for $1,500 so weight of $1,500 is 0.5.
Half of the bids are for $1,900 so weight of $1,900 is 0.5.
Expected Winning bid = (1,500 * 0.5) + ( 1,900 * 0.5)
= 750 + 950
= $1,700

Ultimate Sportswear has $150,000 of 8% non-cumulative, non-participating, preferred stock outstanding. Ultimate Sportswear also has $550,000 of common stock outstanding. In the company's first year of operation, no dividends were paid. During the second year, the company paid cash dividends of $35,000. This dividend should be distributed as follows:
a. $8,750 preferred: $26,250 common.
b. $0 preferred: $35,000 common.
c. $12.000 preferred: $23.000 common.
d. $19.000 preferred: $16.000 common
e. $17,500 preferred; $17,500 соmmоn.
Answer:
c. $12,000 preferred: $23,000 common
Explanation:
Calculation of how the Dividend should be distributed
First step is to calculate for preferred stock outstanding
Preferred stock outstanding=$150,000 * 8% non-cumulative
Preferred stock outstanding=$12,000
Second step is to calculate for common stock outstanding
Using this formula
Common stock outstanding = Cash Dividend-Preferred stock outstanding
Let plug in the formula
Common stock outstanding=$35,000-$12,000
Common stock outstanding=$23,000
Therefore Preferred stock outstanding will be $12,000 while Common stock outstanding will be $23,000
Kelley Company reports $1,250,000 of net income for 2017 and declares $175,000 of cash dividends on its preferred stock for 2017. At the end of 2017, the company had 380,000 weighted-average shares of common stock. 1. What amount of net income is available to common stockholders for 2017
Answer:
Net income available to common stockholders is $1,075,000
Explanation:
Net Income $1,250,000
To Preferred Shareholders $175,000
Net income available to $1,075,000
common stockholders
Basic earnings per share = Net income available to common stockholders / weighted average shares of common stock
Basic earnings per share = $1,075,000 / 380,000
Basic earnings per share = $2.8290 per share.
Suppose that you have an old car that is a real gas guzzler. It is 10 years old and could be sold to a local dealer for $ cash. The annual maintenance costs will average $ per year into the foreseeable future, and the car averages only miles per gallon. Gasoline costs $ per gallon, and you drive miles per year. You now have an opportunity to replace the old car with a better one that costs $. If you buy it, you will pay cash. Because of a 2-year warranty, the maintenance costs are expected to be negligible. This car averages miles per gallon. Should you keep the old car or replace it? Utilize a 2-year comparison period and assume that the new car can be sold for $ at the end of year 2. Assume that the salvage value of the old car at the end of year 2 will be $0. Ignore the effect of income taxes and let your MARR be %.
Answer:
you should replace the old car with a newer and more efficient one
Explanation:
all the numbers are missing, so I looked them up:
current sale value of old car $400
maintenance costs per year $800
gasoline expense per year = $3.50 x 1/10 x 15,000 = $5,250
resale value in 2 years = $0
cost of replacing old car = $8,000
maintenance costs per year $0
gasoline expense per year = $3.50 x 1/30 x 15,000 = $1,750
resale value in 2 years = $5,000
MARR = 15%
if you keep the old car, your net cash flows will be:
Year 1 = -$6,050
Year 2 = -$6,050
if you change your car, your net cash flows will be:
Year 0 = -$8,000 + $400 = -$7,600
Year 1 = -$1,750
Year 2 = $3,250
keeping the old car results in a NPV = -$6,050/1.15 - $6,050/1.15² = -$5,260.87 - $4,574.67 = -$9,835.54
changing for a new car results in a NPV = -$7,600 -$1,750/1.15 + $3,250/1.15² = -$7,600 -$1,521.74 + $2,457.47 = -$6,664.27
since both options result in negative cash flows, we must select the option that results in a smaller loss
One Step, Inc., is trying to determine its cost of debt. The firm has a debt issue outstanding with 27 years to maturity that is quoted at 105 percent of face value. The issue makes semiannual payments and has a coupon rate of 4 percent.
Requried:
a. What is the company's pretax cost of debt?
b. If the tax rate is 23 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt?
Answer:
Before tax cost of debt=3.72%
After-tax cost of debt =2.87 %
Explanation:
The yield to maturity to Maturity van be worked out using the formula below:
YM =( C + F-P/n) ÷ ( 1/2× (F+P))
C- annual coupon,
F- face value ,
P- current price,
n- number of years to maturity
YM - Yield to maturity
DATA
C- 4%× 100 = 4, P- 105, F- 100
AYM = 4 + (100-105)/27 ÷ 1/2× (100+105)
=0.0372 × 100= 3.72%
Yield to maturity =3.72%
Before tax cost of debt = Yield to maturity
Before tax cost of debt=3.72%
After tax cost of debt =Before tax cost of debt × (1-T)
Before tax cost of debt = 3.72%
Tax rate = 23%
After-tax cost of debt = 3.72%× (1-0.23) =2.87 %
After-tax cost of debt =2.87 %
How would you make a convincing case that open trade in goods and services as well as free flow of foreign direct investment will enhance the well-being of (a) consumers, (b) pro-ducers, and (c) the government of countries? Give specific examples to prove your position.
Answer:
(a) consumers
Consumers are those who benefit the most from open trade and foreign direct investment. This is because these two economic policies increase the producion and delivery of goods and services, making them cheaper.
(b) producers
While some producers would be affected by open trade, most producers would benefit. Firms are allowed to specialize in producing those goods and services for which they have a competitive advantage, and they can also profit from increased foreign investment.
(c) the government of countries
Governments also benefit from these economic policies. They higher well-being of society means more government credibility, and the higher economic growth means more government revenue in the form of taxes.

Consider a situation where a firm owned by you is competing against an identical rival firm. You are able to choose how much of your good (quantity) to supply to the market. You are given the option to set your quantity first, wait and let your rival set their quantity, or have both you and your rival set their quantities at the same time. What should you do
Available Options Are:
A. Set your quantity first.
B. Set your quantity second.
C. Set your quantity at the same time.
D. It doesn't matter.
Answer:
Option A. Set your quantity first.
Explanation:
The Cournot Equilibrium says that the decisions are made simultaneously and this simultaneous decision is that each firm will choose its own quantity, given what quantity of output its rival has set. Every firm will be producing a quantity that maximizes its profits and this approach will lower the profits because of Cournot Equilibrium.
The firm that sets its quantity first is at better position because the other firms might think about the worse market condition taking Cournot effect into account.
The optimal choice would be to set our quantity first, hence the option A is the right option.

Jerry, a partner with 30 percent capital and profits interest, received his Schedule K-1 from Plush Pillows, LP. At the beginning of the year, Jerry's tax basis in his partnership interest was $44,000. His current-year Schedule K-1 reported an ordinary loss of $9,000, long-term capital gain of $4,600, qualified dividends of $3,600, $2,100 of non-deductible expenses, a $26,000 cash contribution, and a reduction of $5,600 in his share of partnership debt. What is Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest (outside basis) at the end of the year
Answer: $61,500
Explanation:
Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest at the end of the year is determined by adding his cash contributions, long-term capital gain, and qualified dividends to the original tax basis.
There will also be deductions of the non-deductible expenses, ordinary loss and his share of the reduction in partnership debt.
Jerry's adjusted basis at the end of the year = ( 44,000 + 26,000 + 3,600 4,600) - ( 2,100 + 9,000 + 5,600)
= 78,200 - 16,700
= $61,500
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]
Allied Merchandisers was organized on May 1. Macy Co. is a major customer (buyer) of Allied (seller) products.
May 3 Allied made its first and only purchase of inventory for the period on May 3 for 2,000 units at a price of $10 cash per unit (for a total cost of $20,000).
5 Allied sold 1,500 of the units in inventory for $14 per unit (invoice total: $21,000) to Macy Co. under credit terms 2/10, n/60. The goods cost Allied $15,000.
7 Macy returns 125 units because they did not fit the customer’s needs (invoice amount: $1,750). Allied restores the units, which cost $1,250, to its inventory.
8 Macy discovers that 200 units are scuffed but are still of use and, therefore, keeps the units. Allied sends Macy a credit memorandum for $300 toward the original invoice amount to compensate for the damage.

Allied receives payment from Macy for the amount owed on the May 5 purchase; payment is net of returns, allowances, and any cash discount.

After then, the general ledger is utilized to produce the company's financial statements. The idea behind a journal entry is to use double-entry accounting, which requires that every company transaction be recorded at least twice.
For instance, when you make a cash sale, the revenue account and the cash account are both increased. Alternatively, if you purchase items on credit, this raises both the accounts payable and inventory accounts.

Company X, which is a chemical manufacturer, uses crude oil and buys it in the spot market on a monthly schedule. A crude oil swap is quoted by the dealer at $25. Which of the following statements is correct?a. The company should sell the swap to hedgeb. In a month when the spot price of oil is above $25, the company will pay the difference to the counter partyc. In a month when the spot price is below $25, the company will pay the difference to the counter party
Answer:
c. In a month when the spot price is below $25, the company will pay the difference to the counter party
Explanation:
Since Company X uses crude oil, the company buys the swap to hedge in the swap market, so option A is not appropriate because it buys the swap, which pays the counterparty when the spot price falls below $ 25. so correct option is c. In a month when the spot price is below $25, the company will pay the difference to the counter partyAlexander has been accepted as a freshman at a college two hundred miles from his home for the fall semester. Alexander's wealthy uncle, Michael, decides to give Alexander a car for Christmas. In November, Michael makes a contract with Jackson Auto Sales to purchase a new car for $18,000 to be delivered to Alexander just before the Christmas holidays, in mid-December. The title to the car is to be in Alexander's name. Michael pays the full purchase price, calls Alexander and tells him about the gift, and takes off for a six-month vacation in Europe. Is Alexander an intended third party beneficiary of the contract between Michael and Jackson Auto Sales
Answer:
Yes.
Alexander is an intended third party beneficiary of the contract between Michael and Jackson Auto Sales.
Explanation:
In the law of contracts, Alexander becomes a third-party beneficiary of the contract between Michael and Jackson Auto Sales, and he has the right to sue in the contract notwithstanding that he was not an active party to the contract. Some of the factors that may be present to show that a Alexander is an intended beneficiary are: (1) the contract's performance is rendered directly to Alexander; (2) Alexander has rights to control the details of the performance; or (3) there is an express designation in the contract, e.g. the title to the car is in Alexander's name.
To avoid having a voidable contract, all 'time is of the essence' deadlines set by the contract must be met:________
a. within 24 hours of the stated deadline.
b. within 48 hours of the stated deadline.
Answer:
None of the choices are needed
Explanation:
As we know that
The contract is an agreement between two parties who are eligible and enforceable by law
The voidable contract is an agreement that is not unenforceable by law due to various reasons like - party failure to complete the contract on time, fraud, misrepresentation, etc
So in the case of the voidable contract, no grace period is applicable neither 24 hours nor 48 hours as if there is a deadline so the same should be considered
You have invested 20 percent of your portfolio in Homer, Inc., 40 percent in Marge Co., and 20 percent in Bart Resources. What is the expected return of your portfolio if Homer, Marge, and Bart have expected returns of 2 percent, 18 percent, and 3 percent, respectively?
Answer:
Expected return = 8.2%
Explanation:
A portfolio is a collection of assets/ investment. The return on a portfolio is the weighted average of all the return of the individual assets weighted according to the percentage of total funds allocated to each assets.
Expected return on portfolio:
E(R) =( Wa*Ra) + (Wb*Rb) + (Wc*Rc) + Wn*Rn
W= Weight i.e proportion of fund invested in each asset class
Wa = 20%, Wb- 40%, Wc- 20%
Ra-2%, Rb-18%, Rc- 3%
E(R) = (0.2 *2%) + (0.4× 18%) + (0.2*3%) = 8.2%
Expected return = 8.2%
Avia Company sells a product for $150 per unit. Variable costs are $110 per unit, and fixed costs are $1500 per month. The company expects to sell 660 units in September. The unit contribution margin is ________.
Answer:
"$40 per unit" is the right solution.
Explanation:
Given:
Selling price per unit,
= $150
Variable cost per unit,
= $110
Fixed costs per month,
= $1500
The unit contribution margin will be:
= [tex]Selling \ price - Variable \ cost[/tex]
= [tex]150-110[/tex]
= [tex]40[/tex] ($) per unit
you have been given this probability distribution for the holding for the holding-period return for GM stock. what is the expected standard deviation for GM stock
Answer:
14.86%
Explanation:
For computing the standard deviation, first we have to determine the expected return and then variance which is shown below:
= (Expected return of the boom × probability of boom) + (expected return of the normal growth × probability of normal growth) + (expected return of the recession × probability of recession)
= (0.30 × 0.40) + (0.11 × 0.40) + (-0.10 × 0.20)
= 0.12 + 0.044 - 0.02
= 0.144
Now the variance would equal to the
= Probability × (Return - Expected Return) ^2
For boom:
= 0.40 × (0.30 - 0.144) ^2
= 0.0097344
For normal growth:
= 0.40 × (0.11 - 0.144) ^2
= 0.0004624
For recession:
= 0.20 × (-0.10 - 0.144) ^2
= 0.0119072
So, the total variance would be
= 0.0097344 + 0.0004624 + 0.0119072
= 0.022104
Now as we know that
Standard deviation is
[tex]\sqrt{variance} \\\\ = \sqrt{0.022104}[/tex]
= 14.86%
On January 1, 2018, Frontier World issues $40.7 million of 9% bonds, due in 20 years, with interest payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31 each year. The proceeds will be used to build a new ride that combines a roller coaster, a water ride, a dark tunnel, and the great smell of outdoor barbeque, all in one ride. rev: 11_03_2016_QC_CS-68413 Required: 1-a. If the market rate is 8%, calculate the issue price. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1)
Answer:
$44,728,243.62
Explanation:
face value $40,700,000
coupon rate 9%, semiannual 4.5%
maturity 20 years x 2 = 40 periods
market interest rate 8%
issue price?
present value of face value = $40,700,000 / (1 + 4%)⁴⁰ = $8,477,364.12
present value of coupon payments = $1,831,500 x 19.793 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 40 periods) = $36,250,879.50
market price = $8,477,364.12 + $36,250,879.50 = $44,728,243.62

Oil Dawg, an oil tanker company, shipped oil to coasts all over the US. During many deliveries, the crew was dumping waste into the ocean. To conceal this, the crew falsified entries into the record book and lied to the Coast Guard about waste disposal. Top executives in the company were unaware this was happening. A jury convicted Oil Dawg of conspiracy, pollution, and obstruction of justice and the company was fined $4.9 Million. Oil Dawg appealed. Should Oil Dawg be found criminally liable for the illegal actions of its lower-level employees under the doctrine of respondeat superior? Why or Why not?
Answer:
The doctrine of respondeat superior is generally applied to torts and is used by civil courts, but can also include criminal activities. In this case, the main issue is the fine imposed on Oil Dawg, so yes, this doctrine applies.
Respondeat superior basically makes the principal (the employer in this case) legally responsible for unlawful or negligent acts committed by its agents (employees in this case). This doctrine applies as long as the illegal acts were committed within the scope of the normal employment, e.g. crashing a van while making a delivery. In this case, the illegal polluting was carried out while transporting oil to the US.
The only possible defense that Oil Dawg might have is that the people that committed the illegal polluting were independent contractors and they weren't actual employees of the company. But according to the text given, that is not the case.
This doesn't mean that only the employer will be go to trial, the employees that committed the illegal polluting will also go to trial since they are both liable, and maybe face the same or even different charges.
An organizational chart of a company shows vice presidents with responsibility for key areas such as design, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and after-sales support. This reflects a _______ structure.
Answer: Functional
Explanation: The functional structure of an organisational chart places people with similar skills who perform similar activities in a group under a common manager who answers to an executive a level up in the hierarchy who may oversee multiple departments. Therefore, an organizational chart of a company showing vice presidents with responsibility for key areas such as design, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and after-sales support would reflect a functional structure.
An advantage of the functional structure is that employees are allowed to focus their collective energies on executing their roles as a department but sometimes they might develop tunnel vision (seeing the company solely through the lens of the employee’s job function) and often at times there is a lack of inter-departmental communication.
