Answer:
Trend- % change in sales = 34.64%
Explanation:
Trend analysis entails determining the performance of a business over time by comparing its performance data from one period to another. The aim of trend analysis is to identify the behavior of a set of ratios over a period of time by comparing them across different years.
To determine the trend for a particular data, we use the formula below
% Change in variable =
(Current year figure - Previous year figure)/Previous year figure × 100
DATA
Current year figure for sales (2017) - 450,000
Previous year figure for sale (2016) - 688,500
% change in sales = (450,000 -688,500)/688,500 × 100 = 34.64%
% change in sales = 34.64%
This implies that the company made sales in 2017 which is 34.64% less than that made in 2016
"Net income for the period was $200,000. The retained earnings account had a beginning balance of $25,000. If the company paid dividends of $20,000 during the year, what is the ending balance in retained earnings?"
Answer:
Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000
Explanation:
Retained earnings at the end = Retained earning at the beginning + Net income - Dividend paid
The net income would increase the balance of the retained earnings hence it is added to it.
The Dividend paid would be a cash outflow which would reduce the balance of the retained earnings, hence it is deducted from it.
So applying this to the question, we have
Retained earning balance at the end would be:
25,000 + 200,000 - 20,000 = $205,000
Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000

Answer:
Allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model = 52.4
Explanation:
Given that:
Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years.
Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00%
The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years
Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below:
Year Sales volume (units) Unit selling price
Year 1 40,000 $80.00
Year 2 50,000 $75.00
Year 3 35,000 $50.00
Year 4 25,000 $45.00
The objective is to determine the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model.
The Cost for each unit selling price can be calculated as:
= unit selling price - (Target average profit margin × unit selling price)
For Year 1
= $80.00- (0.2 × $80.00)
= $80.00 - $16.00
= $64.00
For Year 2
= $75.00 - ( 0.2 × $75.00)
= $75.00 - ( $15.00)
= $60.00
Year 3
= $50.00 - (0.2× $50.00)
= $50.00 - $10.00
= $40.00
Year 4
= $45.00 - (0.2 × $45.00)
=$45.00 - $9.00
= $36.00
Year Sales volume Unit Cost Cost per Unit
(units) selling price
Year 1 40,000 $80.00 $64.00 $2560000
Year 2 50,000 $75.00 $60.00 $3000000
Year 3 35,000 $50.00 $40.00 $1400000
Year 4 25,000 $45.00 $36.00 $900000
Total: 150000 $7860000
Allowable unit cost = Total cost/Total number of unit cost
Allowable unit cost = $7860000/150000
Allowable unit cost = 52.4
At the beginning of the year, Custom Mfg. established its predetermined overhead rate by using the following cost predictions: overhead costs, $840,000, and direct materials costs, $400,000. At year-end, the company’s records show that actual overhead costs for the year are $1,041,000. Actual direct materials cost had been assigned to jobs as follows.Jobs completed and sold $390,000 Jobs in finished goods inventory 83,000 Jobs in work in process inventory 55,000 Total actual direct materials cost $528,000Required:a. Determine the predetermined overhead rate.b. Write the overhead costs incurred and the amounts applied to jobs during the year using the predetermined overhead rate and determine whether overhead is overapplied or underapplied.c. Prepare the adjusting entry to allocate any over- or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.
Answer:
a. Determine the predetermined overhead rate.
the predetermined overhead rate = total budgeted overheard costs / total budgeted direct materials used = $840,000 / $400,000 = 2.1 = 210%
b. Write the overhead costs incurred and the amounts applied to jobs during the year using the predetermined overhead rate and determine whether overhead is overapplied or underapplied.
applied overhead costs = actual direct materials x overhead rate = $528,000 x 210% = $1,108,800
over applied overhead = actual overhead - standard overhead = $1,041,000 - $1,108,800 = -$67,800 favorable variance
c. Prepare the adjusting entry to allocate any over- or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.

A benefactor promises to donate $30,000 to his church toward the purchase of a new piano if the church is able to raise matching funds of $30,000 from other contributors. At what point should the church record revenue
Answer:
When the matching funds are raised.
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that a benefactor vow to denote $30,000 for his church in order to buy the piano but the church should capable to increase the matching fund for $30,000 from other contributors
So at the time of recording the revenue by the church when there is a raise in the matching fund otherwise, it would not be recorded
Therefore the last option is correct
A stock has a beta of 1.15 and a reward-to-risk ratio of 6.15 percent. If the risk-free rate is 3 percent, what is the stock's expected return
Answer:
10.07%
Explanation:
According to CAPM
the stock's expected return = risk free rate + (beta x reward-to-risk ratio )
3% + (6.15% x 1.15) = 10.07%

Assuming that the firm is maximizing profits, the marginal cost of the last unit produced equals:________
Price Quantity Total cost
10 10 80
9 20 100
8 30 130
7 40 170
6 50 230
5 60 300
4 70 380
a. $4
b. $40
c. $5
d. $50
e. $6
Answer: b. $40
Explanation:
A firm maximises its profits where Marginal Revenue equals marginal cost.
Marginal revenue is the additional revenue gained by selling one more unit of production.
At 40 units, the marginal revenue is equal to;
= Total revenue at 40 units - total revenue at 30 units
= ( 7 * 40) - ( 8 * 30)
= 280 - 240
= $40
At 40 units the marginal cost is;
= total cost at 40 units - total cost at 30 units
= 170 - 130
= $40
MR=MC which is $40.

Explanation:
Cost of Producing Guitars Carlota Music Company estimates that the marginal cost of manufacturing its Professional Series guitars is given by the following in dollars/month when the level of production is x guitars/month.
C '(x) = 0.008x + 90
The fixed costs incurred by Carlota are $8500/month. Find the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month.
Answer:
The total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month is C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500.
Explanation:
Given,
C '(x) = 0.008x + 90 ................................... (1)
To obtain the the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month, we obtain the integral of equation (1) as follows:
[tex]C(x)=\int\limits {C'(x)} \, dx = \int\limits {[0.008x + 90]} \, dx[/tex]
C(x) = (0.008 / 2) x^2 + 90x + F
C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + F .......................... (2)
Where F is the constant.
Since total cost is the addition of the total cost and total variable cost, the F in equation (2) represents the total fixed cost per month.
Since the fixed costs incurred by Carlota are $8500/month, this implies that F = 8,500.
Substituting F = 8,500 into equation (2), we have:
C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500 <-------------- Total cost per month
Therefore, the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month is C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500.
Link Co. purchased machinery that cost $3,000,000 on January 4, 2016. The entire cost was recorded as an expense. The machinery has a nine-year life and a $200,000 residual value. The error was discovered on December 20, 2018. Ignore income tax considerations. Before the correction was made, and before the books were closed on December 31, 2018, retained earnings was understated by:_________.a. $3,000,000.
b. $2,066,667.
c. $2,377,778
d. $2,333,333.
Answer:
c. $2,377,778
Explanation:
Recording the entire cost as expense would have understated Retained Earnings by $3,000,000
Annual Depreciation on machine = Purchase cost - Residual value / Useful life
= ($3,000,000 - $200,000) / 9
= $311,111
Depreciation would have been recorded for $622222 for 2 years had machinery been correctly recorded ($311,111 * 2) = $622,222
On December 20, 2018, the net understatement of Retained Earnings = $3,000,000 - $622,222
= $2,377,778

Suppose you observe the following situation: Security Beta Expected Return Pete Corp. 1.80 .190 Repete Co. 1.49 .163 a. Assume these securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the expected return on the market? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the risk-free rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. 12.03%
b. 3.32%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + [Beta × Risk premium]
Let us assume Risk free rate of return be x and Risk premium be y
Now the equations are as follows
For Pete Corp
19 = x + 1.80y ...................... (1)
For Repete Corp
16.3 = x + 1.49y .....................(2)
Now Solving (1) and (2)
After solving we get
y = 8.70967741935
x = 3.3225806452
i.e Risk free rate = x = 3.32%
And, the Risk premium = 8.70967741935%
So,
Expected return on market = Risk free rate + Risk premium
= 3.3225806452 + 8.70967741935
= 12.03%
The unfavorable volume variance may be due to all of the following factors except:_______
a. failure to maintain an even flow of work
b. machine breakdowns
c. failure to obtain enough sales orders
d. unexpected increases in the cost of utilities
Answer:
d. unexpected increases in the cost of utilities
Explanation:
there are several volume variances:
direct materials volume variancedirect labor volume variancemanufacturing overhead volume variance sales volume varianceUtilities are part of manufacturing overhead, but volume variances using the standard rates, so an unexpected increase in the cost of utilities will not affect the overhead volume variance.
The unfavorable volume variance can not be due because of unexpected Increases in the cost of utilities
Unfavorable volume variance means that the amount of applied fixed manufacturing overhead costs is less than the budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs
The machine breakdowns will affect production levels, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variance.
The failure to maintain even flow of work will impact the production quantities, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variances
The failure to obtain enough sales order will limit production quantities, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variances.
Thus, the Option D is correct because unfavorable volume variance can not be due because of unexpected Increases in the cost of utilities

Assume the annual retention rate for a cell phone subscriber is 70 percent and the customer generates $300 per year in profit. Assuming an annual discount rate of 8 percent, compute the value of a customer.
Answer:
The value of a customer is $193.2.
Explanation:
The value of the customer can be calculated by considering the profit they generate, retention rate, and the discount.
Value of a customer = Profit per year * Retention rate * (1 - discount)
Value of a customer = 300 * 0.7 * (1 - 0.08)
Value of a customer = 300 * 0.7 * 0.92
Value of a customer = 193.2
Thus, the value of a customer is $193.2.
Upton Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at 20 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 8 percent thereafter. If the required return is 11 percent and the company just paid a dividend of $1.45, what is the current share price
Answer:
$71.03
Explanation:
To find the current share price we need to find the value of future dividends first and then discount it by the given rate of return
DATA
Growth rate = g = 20%
Time period = 3 years
Required return = 11%
Current dividend = Do = $1.45
Share price =?
Solution
Future dividend = Current dividend ( 1 + growth rate)
D1 = (1.45 x 1.20) = $1.74
D2 = (1.74 x 1.20) = $2.088
D3 = (2.088 x 1.20) = $2.5056
Value after year 3 = (D3 x Growth rate) / (Required return-Growth rate)
Value after year 3 = (2.5056*1.08) / (0.11-0.08)

The Hirt & Block mutual fund has assets of $147 million, liabilities of $7 million and 7 million shares outstanding. The shares trade at $21.60 per share. What is the percentage load fee?
Answer: 8%
Explanation:
The load fee would be the excess percentage amount charged on the share over the Net Asset Value per share.
= [tex]\frac{Trading price per share - Net Asset Value per share}{ Net Asset Value per share}[/tex]
Net Asset value Per share = (Assets - Liabilities) / Number of shares
= (147 - 7) / 7
= $20
Load fee
= [tex]\frac{Trading price per share - Net Asset Value per share}{ Net Asset Value per share}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{21.60 - 20}{20}[/tex]
= 8%
