The company plans to sell 39,000 units of Product WZ in June. The finished goods inventories on June 1 and June 30 are budgeted to be 610 and 110 units, respectively. Budgeted direct labor costs for June would be:

Answers

Answer:

Direct labor cost= $1,232,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each unit of Product WZ requires 2 hours of direct labor at a rate of $16 per direct labor-hour.

Sales= 39,000 units

Beginning inventory= 610 units

Desired ending inventory= 110 units

First, we need to calculate the production required:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 39,000 + 110 - 610

Production= 38,500

Now, the direct labor budget:

Direct labor hours= 38,500*2= 77,000 hours

Direct labor cost= 77,000*16= $1,232,000

E. price-earnings ratio will increase.

Answers

Answer:

Question 1:

required investment $245,000

depreciation expense per year = ($245,00 - $23,200) / 5 = $44,360

you will also require $15,000 in working capital

annual cash costs = $68,500

what is the minimum amount of cash sales for accepting the project:

net cash flow₁ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14 = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14 = 0.5702SR - $25,437.72

net cash flow₂ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14² = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14² = 0.5002SR - $22,313.79

net cash flow₃ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14³ = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14³ = 0.4387SR - $19,573.50

net cash flow₄ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14⁴ = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14⁴ = 0.3849SR - $17,169.74

net cash flow₅ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360 + $15,000} / 1.14⁵ = (0.65SR - $13,999) / 1.14⁵ = 0.3376SR - $7,270.64

NPV = -initial outlay + cash flows

NPV = 0

initial outlay = cash flows

$260,000 = 0.5702SR - $25,437.72 + 0.5002SR - $22,313.79 + 0.4387SR - $19,573.50 + 0.3849SR - $17,169.74 + 0.3376SR - $7,270.64

$260,000 = 2.2316SR - $91,765.39

$351,765.39 = 2.2316SR

sales revenue = $351,765.39 / 2.2316 = $157,629.23

the closest answer is B = $155,119, but its NPV will be negative.

so we have to select C = $162,515.75 that results in an NPV = $10,887.

b. Determine the departmental factory overhead rates for both departments.
Fabrication $ per dlh
Assembly $ per dlh
c. Determine the factory overhead allocated per unit for each product using the department factory overhead allocation rates.
Speedboat: $ per unit
Bass boat: $ per unit

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fabrication, $645,000

Assembly, $393,750.

Speedboats:

Fabrication Direct labor hours= 4

Assembly Direct labor hours= 3

Bassboats:

Fabrication Direct labor hours= 2

Assembly Direct labor hours= 4

Each product is budgeted for 5,000 units of production for the year.

First, we need to calculate the budgeted direct labor hours:

Fabrication= 4*5,000 + 2*5,000= 30,000

Assembly= 3*5,000 + 4*5,000= 35,000

Now, we can determine the predetermined overhead rate using the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Fabrication= 645,000/30,000= $21.5 per direct labor hour

Assembly= 393,750/35,000= $11.25 per direct labor hour

Finally, we can allocate overhead to each product:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Speedboat= 4*21.5 + 3*11.25= $119.75

Bassboat= 2*21.5 + 4*11.25= $88

Assume that interest rates on 20-year Treasury and 20-year corporate bonds are as follows T-bond = 3.72% AAA = 4.12% A = 4.64% BB = 5.18% The differences in these rates were probably caused primarily by:

Answers

Answer: Default risk differences.

Explanation:

The Default risk is the inherent risk a lender faces that a borrower will not pay them back the debt they want to borrow. The lender will therefore charger a high return to cater for this risk. The higher the risk, the higher the return charged.

T-bonds have no default risk because they are guaranteed by the US Government which is why it's rate is the lowest. For the other bonds, there is something called a Credit rating. Bonds are usually rated on how risky it will be to lend to the company borrowing with AAA being of the lowest risk. Therefore as one goes up from AAA, the bonds will have higher default risks.

Say that you purchase a house for $150,000 by getting a mortgage for $135,000 and paying a $15,000 down payment. If you get a 15-year mortgage with a 6 percent interest rate, what are the monthly payments

Answers

Answer:

Monthly installment  = $1,139.21

Explanation:

When a loan is to be paid over a period of time using a series of periodic equal installments, it is called loan amortization. Each equal installment is meant to liquidate the principal and the accrued interest.

The amount to be financed by way of loan=

= cost of house - down payment

= $150,000 - 15,000  = $135,000

The monthly equal installment is calculated as follows:

Monthly equal installment-= Loan amount/Monthly annuity factor

Monthly annuity factor  

=( 1-(1+r)^(-n))/r

Monthly interest rate (r)

= 6%/12= 0.5%

Number of months ( n) in 15 years

= 15* 12 = 180

Annuity factor  

= ( 1- (1.005)^(-180)/0.005= 118.504

Monthly installment = 135,000/ 118.504 =1139.21

Monthly installment  = $1139.21

On December 31, there were 26 units remaining in ending inventory. Using the periodic FIFO inventory costing method, what is the cost of the ending inventory? (Assume all sales were made on the last day of the month.) Multiple Choice $3,405. $3,445. $3,200. $3,540. $3,270.

Answer:

The cost of ending inventory = $3,540

Explanation:

FIFO (First-in-first-out) inventory costing method is a costing method where the goods purchased first are sold first before those purchased at a later date.

In order to answer this question, let us first determine the total number of units of goods purchased during the year

Month         units

January       10

February     20

May             15

September  12

November   10

Total             67

Therefore a total of 67 units were  purchased  during the year.

Next, we are told that the ending inventory balance = 26 units

Therefore the number of units sold during the year = Total purchase - ending inventory = 67 - 26 = 41

41 units were sold during the year.

using the FIFO inventory method, the units purchased first are sold out first therefore, out of the 41 units sold:

January   = 10 units

February = 15 units

May         =  11 units

Total        = 41 units

This means that out of the 15 unit purchased in may, 11 units were sold, hence the number of units remaining = 15 - 11 = 4 units.

From this point up to November, forms the ending iniventory therefore, the the total ending inventory is calculated as follows:

Month          units          price per unit($)       Total($)

May                4                130                              520

September    12               135                            1,620

November     10               140                            1,400

Total               26                                                3,540

Therefore, the cost of ending inventory = $3,540

​Brett's Gift Box estimates that it will sell​ 30,000 porcelain figurines next year. Because porcelain figurines are so easily​ damaged, the average per unit carrying cost of the figurines is​ $25. The per order cost of ordering is​ $800. Assume that Brett wants a safety stock of 75 figurines. If Brett reorders the figurines based on the economic order​ quantity, what is​ Brett's average inventory of porcelain​ figurines?

Answers

If Brett reorders the figurines based on the economic order​ quantity, Brett's average inventory of porcelain​ figurines is 768 units.

The economic order quantity is computed as the square root of (2 x Annual Sales Unit (Demand) x Ordering Cost)/Carrying Cost

= square root of (2 x 30,000 x $800)/$25

= square root of 1,920,000

= 1,386 units

Average inventory = (Economic Order Quantity)/2 + Safety stock

= 1,386/2 + 75

= 693 + 75

= 768 units

Thus, Brett's Gift Box average inventory of porcelain figurines is 768.

"What action is the Federal Reserve MOST likely to take if it is worried about increasing inflation due to extremely rapid economic expansion?"

Answers

Answer: Increase reserve requirements

Explanation:

Reserve requirements refer to the proportion of deposits that banks are required to leave with the Fed for safekeeping and the protections of depositors.

This amount reduces the amount of money that the banks can give out as loans and so is quite useful in monetary policy.

If the Fed is worried about increasing inflation due to extremely rapid economic expansion, the way to rein this in is to embark on a contractionary monetary policy.

One way to do so is to increase the reserve requirement which would mean that banks have to hold more money. Should this happen then the money supply in the economy would decrease which would ideally decrease inflation and reduce the funds available for both investment and consumption which would lead to a decrease in economic activity as well.

production costs:

direct materials $14 x 15,000 = $210,000 direct labor $10 x 15,000 = $150,000 variable manufacturing overhead $3 x 15,000 = $45,000 fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable $6 x 15,000 = $90,000 ($60,000 are non-avoidable) fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated $9 x 15,000 = $135,000 (all are non-avoidable) total cost $42 x 15,000 = $630,000

avoidable production costs = $435,000

An increase in input prices causes:___________
a) the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price downward.
b) the market supply to shift outward, leading to a higher equilibrium price.
c) the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher.
d) the supply curve to decrease and the demand curve to decrease.

Answers

Answer: the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher.

Explanation:

An increase in input prices will result into a rise in the production costs. This will result in a leftward shift of the supply curve.

Therefore, the market supply will shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher. This simply means that there will be lesser supply of the product and hence, increase in price.

24. Emotional labor is higher in jobs requiring: 1 point A. limited hours of routine work. B. working in irregular shifts. C. working in isolation. D. frequent interaction with clients. E. skilled knowledge such as accounting.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is:

frequent interaction with clients. (D.)

Explanation:

Emotional labour refers to the suppression or the management of one's emotions that are felt but not expressed while at a job. Essentially, emotional labour requires workers to:

Hide emotions they do feel

show emotions they do not feel

create an appropriate emotion for the situation.

These can be achieved through surface acting and deep acting.

Customer service and retail jobs require a lot of emotional labour. For instance, if the customer service agent is angry, it is not ethical in his/her job description to show such anger to the clients, hence he/she has to force a smile just to give a satisfactory service to the client. some determinants of emotional labour include:

1. societal, organizational or occupational norms

2. emotional expressiveness

3. supervisory regulation of display rules

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

Widgeon Co. manufactures three products: Bales, Tales, and Wales. The selling prices are $55, $78, and $32, respectively. The variable costs for each product are $20, $50, and $15, respectively.

Assuming that Widgeon Co. can sell all of the products it can make, what is the maximum contribution margin it can earn per month

Answers

Answer:

$3,400

Explanation:

Particulars                                    Bales      Tales     Wales

Selling price                                   55            78         32

- Variable costs                             20           50        15

Contribution margin                       35           28         17

Required hours to process           5 hrs     7 hrs      1 hrs

Contribution margin per hours        7            4         17

Therefore, Widgeon Co. will earn maximum contribution only if it uses all its machine hours for production of wales

Maximum contribution margin = Contribution margin per hour * Number of machine hours

Maximum contribution margin = 17 * 2,000 hours

Maximum contribution margin = $3,400

Assuming that Widgeon Co. can sell all of the products it can make, the maximum contribution margin it can earn per month is $3,400. The difference between the sales price and the variable cost is the contribution margin.

A contribution margin calculates a product's profitability during production. The contribution margin of a business indicates how much income is left over after variable expenditures like raw materials and transportation are subtracted.

A product must have a higher leftover income after variable costs than the business' fixed expenses, such as salaries and insurance, in order to be profitable.

A company with 99,006 authorized shares of $8 par common stock issued 48,828 shares at $13 per share. Subsequently, the company declared a 2% stock dividend on a date when the market price was $22 a share. What is the amount transferred from the retained earnings account to paid-in capital accounts as a result of the stock dividend?

A. $43,563
B. $21,484
C. $7,812
D. $13,672

Answers

Answer:

$21,484

Explanation:

A company has 99,006 authorized shares of $8 par

The common stock was issued at 48,828 shares at the price of $13 for one share

The company made a 2% dividend declaration

= 2/100

= 0.02

The market price is $22 per share

Therefore, the amount that was transferred from the retained earnings account to the paid-in capital accounts can be calculated as follows

= 48,828 shares × 0.02 × $22

= $21,484

Hence the amount that was moved from the retained earnings account to the paid-in capital accounts as a result of stock dividend is $21,484

Answers

Answer:

Incorrect Statement about the Statement of Cash Flows:

c. The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section.

Explanation:

Cash dividends of $201,000 will be reported as a cash outflow in the financing activities section and not the investing activities section.

Statement of Cash Flows is broadly divided into three, the operating, investing, and financing activities sections.  The operating activities section show the cash flows from the normal business of the enterprise.  The investing activities section shows the acquisition and disposal of investments made by the company in cash.  While, the financing section shows the inflow and outflow of cash resulting from the funding of the business by stockholders and noncurrent creditors.

Shaw Company engages Maya Company to produce a large machine, install the machine, and train their employees on the machine. The machine, installation, and training are distinct, and Maya determines that the contract includes three separate performance obligations. The machine, installation, and training typically cost $800,000 $100,000, and $100,000 respectively when each is provided in a separate contract. Shaw and Maya agree to a total contract price of $920,000.

Required:
How much of the contract price should Maya allocate to the machine, installation, and training, respectively?

Answers

Answer:

Machine= 736,000

Installation= 92,000

Training= 92,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The machine, installation, and training typically cost $800,000 $100,000, and $100,000 respectively when each is provided in a separate contract.

Shaw and Maya agree to a total contract price of $920,000.

First, we need to determine the proportion of each:

Machine= 800,000/1,000,000= 0.8

Installation= 100,000/1,000,000= 0.1

Training= 100,000/1,000,000= 0.1

Now, we can allocate:

Machine= 0.8*920,000= 736,000

Installation= 0.1*920,000= 92,000

Training= 0.1*920,000= 92,000

The semi annual interest = Coupon rate × nominal value × 1/2

= 9% × $260,000 × 1/2

= $11,700

Assume that the hourly cost to operate a commercial airplane follows the normal distribution with a mean of $5,793 per hour and a standard deviation of $439. What is the operating cost for the lowest 2% of the airplanes?

Answers

Answer:

x1 = 4891.294

Explanation:

given data

mean μ =  $5,793

standard deviation  σ =  $439

solution

we know here that

P(x < x1 ) = 0.02     .................1

so

[tex]P(\frac{x-\mu }{\sigma } < \frac{x1-\mu }{\sigma }) = 0.02[/tex]

so

[tex]P(z < \frac{x1-\mu }{\sigma }) = 0.02[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x1-\mu }{\sigma }[/tex]  = invNorm(0.02)

so

x1 = μ + σ × invNorm(0.02)    .....................2

we use here table for invNorm(0.02) and put value in eq 2

x1 = 5793 + 439 × (-2.054 )

x1 = 4891.294

Mogul Company ships merchandise to Ski Outfit in a consignment arrangement. The arrangement specifies that Ski Outfit will attempt to sell the merchandise, and in return, Mogul will pay to Ski Outfit a commission of 25% of the selling price on any merchandise sold. During the year, Mogul ships inventory with a cost of $81,000 to Ski Outfit and pays shipping costs of $8,700. By the end of the year, $61,000 of the merchandise has been sold to customers for a total of $86,000. Mogul allocates $6,500 of the shipping costs to inventory sold and the other $2,200 to inventory not sold. Mogul also paid advertising costs during the year of $10,500. What amount of inventory will Mogul report at year end

Answers

Answer:

$22,200

Explanation:

With regards to the above information Mogul company,

Cost of goods

= $81,000 + $8,700

= $89,700

= $61,000 + $6,500

= $67,500

Inventory = Cost of goods - Cost of goods sold

= $89,700 - $67,500

= $22,200

It therefore means that the amount of inventory Magu company will report at the year end is $22,200
