Answer:
$30 Favorable
Explanation:
Calculation for the activity variance for supplies cost in March
Using this formula
Activity variance = (Actual units - Budgeted units) * Variable cost
Where,
Actual units=856
Budgeted units=861
Variable cost=$6
Let plug in the formula
Activity variance=(856-861) * $6
Activity variance=5*$6
Activity variance=$30 Favorable
Therefore the activity variance for supplies cost in March would be closest to: $30 Favorable

Explanation:
eally Great Corporation manufactures industrial−sized landscaping trailers and uses budgeted machine−hours to allocate variable manufacturing overhead. The following information pertains to the company's manufacturing overhead data: Budgeted output units 51,000 units Budgeted machine−hours 10,200 hours Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 51,000 units $387,600 Actual output units produced 35,750 units Actual machine−hours used 14,300 hours Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs $328,900 What is the budgeted variable overhead cost rate per output unit?
Answer:
$7.60 per unit of output
Explanation:
Budgeted output units 51,000 units
Budgeted machine−hours 10,200 hours
Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 51,000 units $387,600
budgeted variable overhead cost per unit of output = $387,600 / 51,000 units = $7.60 per unit of output
In this case, the applied variable overhead rate = 35,750 units x $7.60 = $271,700, which would have been under-applied since the actual variable overhead costs were much higher, $328,900.
Assume MIX Inc. has sales volume of $1,198,000 for two products with May sales and contribution margin ratios as follows:
Product A: Sales $466,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 30%
Product B: Sales $732,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 60%
Required: Assume MIX's fixed expenses are $302,000. Calculate the May total contribution margin, operating income, average contribution margin ratio, and breakeven sales volume. (Round "Average contribution margin ratio" answer to 2 decimal places. Round up "Breakeven sales volume" answer to nearest whole dollar.)
Total contribution margin
Operating income
Average contribution margin ratio
Breakeven sales volume
Answer:
total contribution margin = $579,000
operating income = $277,000
average contribution margin ratio = 48.33%
break even sales volume = $624,870.68
Explanation:
Product A: Sales $466,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 30%
Product B: Sales $732,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 60%
Mix's fixed expenses are $302,000
total contribution margin = ($466,000 x 30%) + ($732,000 x 60%) = $139,800 + $439,200 = $579,000
weighted contribution margin = (466/1198 x 30%) + (732/1198 x 60%) = 11.67% + 36.66% = 48.33%
break even sales volume = $302,000 / 48.33% = $624,870.68
operating income = $579,000 - $302,000 = $277,000
A common stock pays an annual dividend per share of $1.80. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the risk premium for this stock is 4%. If the annual dividend is expected to remain at $1.80 per share, what is the value of the stock
Answer:
The value of the stock today is $20
Explanation:
Using the CAPM equation, we first calculate the required rate of retunr on the stock.
The equation for CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketBeta * rpM is the risk premium on stockr = 0.05 + 0.04
r = 0.09 or 9%
The value of the stock can be calculated using the zero growth model of DDM. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. As the dividend from the stock is expected to remain constant through out to an indefinite period, the value of the stock today is,
P0 = Dividend / r
P0 = 1.8 / 0.09
P0 = $20

For a certain item, the cost-minimizing order quantity obtained with the basic EOQ model is 200 units, and the total annual inventory (carrying and setup) cost is $400. What is the inventory carrying cost per unit per year for this item? $2.00 $3.00 $150.00 $1.00 not enough data to determine
Answer:
$2 per unit per year
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory carrying cost per unit per year is shown below:
Inventory Carrying cost per unit per year is
= Total Annual Inventory cost ÷ Economic order quantity
= $400 ÷ 200 units
= $2 per unit per year
By dividing the total annual inventory cost from the economic order quantity, the inventory carrying cost could come and the same is to be applied
Hence, the first option is correct

All of the following statements regarding convertible bonds are true except:_________.
A. Holders of convertible bonds can generally decide whether to convert to stock.
B. Holders of convertible bonds have the potential to profit from increases in stock price.
C. Holders of convertible bonds can choose when to convert to stock.
D. Holders of convertible bonds have the option to not convert and continue receiving bond interest payments and par value at maturity.
E. Holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion.
Answer: Holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion
Explanation:
A convertible bond is a debt security that yields the payment of interest, but can also be converted into equity shares or common stock that are predetermined.
The option that holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion is wrong. This is because the number I shares that will be eventually converted will already have been fixed.

Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $6,199.13 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Labor:
Standard hourly labor rate $14.92 per hour
Actual labor hours worked 4,661
Actual total labor costs $75,741
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 75,741/4,661= $16.25
Direct labor rate variance= (14.92 - 16.25)*4,661
Direct labor rate variance= $6,199.13 unfavorable
g An increase in taxes when the economy is above full employment ______ aggregate demand and real GDP, and the price level ______.
Answer:

Your auto dealer gives you the choice to pay $15,500 cash now, or make three payments: $8,200 now, $4,200 in one year and $3,200 in two years. If your cost of money (discount rate) is 7.25%, what is the PV of the installment plan?
Answer:
The answer is $14,898.07
Explanation:
Assume that the cost of money (discount rate) of 7.25% is on annual basis.
Present value (PV) of the installment plan is:
PV = Down payment + PV(first installment) + PV(second installment)
= $8,200 + $4,200 / (1 + 7.25%) + $3,200 / (1 + 7.25%)^2 = $14,898.07
Obviously, the three payments option is more lucrative than the 100% down payment one.

A customer who has routinely traded securities through your firm has placed an order to buy a security that is only listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange. To effect the transaction, your firm must use a correspondent broker-dealer located in Malaysia that charges large special handling fees to cover Malaysian securities transfer taxes. Which statement is TRUE
Answer:
the broker-dealer must notify the customer of the additional charges prior to executing the transaction
Explanation:
In such a scenario, the statement that would be completely true is that the broker-dealer must notify the customer of the additional charges prior to executing the transaction. Since the broker is acting on behalf of the customer, then the customer needs to be notified beforehand in order for him/her to be able to analyze and decide whether or not they still want to go ahead with the transaction.
Mortgage insurance rates vary with the perceived riskiness of the loan.Which of the following scenarios would result in a higher mortgage insurance premium?
A) Lower loan-to-value ratio
B) Shorter loan term
C) Stronger credit record of the borrower
D) A "cash-out" refinancing loan
Answer: D) A "cash-out" refinancing loan
Explanation:
A "cash-out" refinancing loan refers to when a person replaces the mortgage that they have on a house with a newer, larger mortgage than the balance of the previous mortgage on the house.
The difference between this new mortgage and the old one can then be withdrawn in cash.
This would attract a higher mortgage insurance premium because the value of debt has now increased because as earlier mentioned, the new mortgage will be larger than the previous one so to cater for this, the insurance premiums will rise.
Homestead Crafts, a distributor of handmade gifts, operates out of owner Emma Finn’s house. At the end of the current period, Emma looks over her inventory and finds that she has 800 units (products) in her basement, 25 of which were damaged by water and cannot be sold. 180 units in her van, ready to deliver per a customer order, terms FOB destination. 200 units out on consignment to a friend who owns a retail store. How many units should Emma include in her company’s period-end inventory?
Answer: 1155
Explanation:
The solution guess thus to calculate the units in Ending Inventory:
Units of product on hand: 800 units
Add: Units in transit 180
Add: Units on consignment 200
Less: Damaged units 25
The number of units that Emma should include in her company’s period-end inventory will be:
= (800+180+200) - 25
= 1180 - 25
= 1155

Identifying costs of inflation
Kyoko owns and operates a store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. In order to prevent the value of money in her cash register from falling too quickly, Kyoko sends an employee to the bank four times per day to make deposits in an interest-bearing account that protects the store's revenues from the effects of inflation. This is an example of the_______of inflation.
Answer:
Shoe-leather Costs.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Kyoko owns and operates a store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. In order to prevent the value of money in her cash register from falling too quickly, Kyoko sends an employee to the bank four times per day to make deposits in an interest-bearing account that protects the store's revenues from the effects of inflation. This is an example of the shoe-leather costs of inflation.
Inflation can be defined as the persistent rise in the price of goods and services in an economy. Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.
A Shoe-leather costs can be defined as the costs associated with time, energy and effort people expend to mitigate the effect of high inflation on the depreciative purchasing power of money by frequently visiting the bank in order to minimize inflation tax they pay on holding cash.
Figuratively speaking, in order to protect the value of money or assets, some people wear out the sole of their shoes by going to financial institutions more frequently to make deposits.
Hence, Kyoko is practicing a shoe-leather cost of inflation so as to protect the store's revenues from the effects of inflation.

Which of the following is true regarding the value of an option? A) Unlike the Black-Scholes formula, the Put-Call Parity suggests that the volatility of underlying asset is not a factor that affects the value of an option. B) The option premium is greater or equal to its intrinsic value because of the time premium. C) The call and put premiums are unrelated since they depend on different set of variables. D) The writer of the call option pays the same premium as the buyer of the put option. E) When the call option is out-of-the-money and the put option is in-the-money, the call must be more valuable than the put.
Answer: B) The option premium is greater or equal to its intrinsic value because of the time premium.
Explanation:
The option premium can be calculated by adding the time premium and the intrinsic value. The time premium is the part of the option premium that accounts for the time remaining till the premium matures while the intrinsic value is the difference between the value of underlying asset and the strike price.
As the time premium can be zero but never negative, the option premium can either be greater than its intrinsic value or equal to it. It cannot be lower than it because of the time premium.
You purchased a stock at a price of $48.98. The stock paid a dividend of $1.63 per share and the stock price at the end of the year was $54.12. What was the total return for the year? Multiple Choice 13.82% 10.49% 13.17% 12.51% 3.33%
Answer:
13.82%
Explanation:
The computation of total return for the year is shown below:-
Total return = (End value - Beginning value + Dividend) ÷ Beginning value
= ($54.12 - $48.98 + $1.63) ÷ $48.98
= 6.77 ÷ $48.98
= 0.13821
or
= 13.82%
Therefore for computing the total return we simply applied the above formula by considering all the information given in the question
In its most recent annual report, Appalachian Beverages reported current assets of $70,300 and a current ratio of 1.90. Assume that the following transactions were completed:_________.
(1) purchased merchandise for $6,700 on account and (2) purchased a delivery truck for $10,000, paying $2,000 cash and signing a two-year promissory note for the balance.
Compute the updated current ratio (round answers to 2 decimal places)Transaction (1) ________________Transaction (2) ________________I am not sure how to do this problem, I understand how to general compute the current ration:________.Current raion= currenct assets/current liabilitiesbut how do you do compute an update?If someone could show me how to do this correctly, I will award them lifesaver.
Answer:
Appalachian Beverages
With reported current assets of $70,300 and a current ratio of 1.90, one can work out the current liabilities from these two. The current liabilities are equal to $70,300/1.90 - $37,000. To work back, one can state that current ratio equals $70,300/$37,000 = 1.90.
Having ascertained the value of the former current liabilities, one can use the information to update the two parameters for calculating the current ratio as follows:
Current liabilities increased by $6,700 from purchase of merchandise on account and of a delivery truck by $8,000. So, the updated current liabilities equal to $37,000 + 6,700 + 8,000 = $51,700. Similarly, the current assets decreased by $2,000 for the part-payment for the delivery truck. Thus, current assets are now equal to $68,300 ($70,300 - 2,000).
Having updated the two parameters, one can then compute the updated current ratio as follows:
Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities = $68,300/$51,700 = 1.32.
Explanation:
Appalachian Beverages' current ratio shows the relationship between current assets and current liabilities and the ability of the entity to settle current liabilities with current assets.
In a transaction for a good valued at $550 by a buyer and $500 by a seller, what percentage sales tax (assume tax on $500) would result in an unconsummated transaction
Answer:
A percentage sales tax that is more than 10% will result in an unconsummated transaction, because the buyer is not willing to pay more than $550 for the good.
Explanation:
A sales tax of 10% will make the good to cost $550 ($500 x 1.1). This is the maximum value placed on the good by the buyer. If the rate of the sales tax exceeds this rate, the buyer will likely not buy the good unless it is an essential good that she cannot do without. So, in levying sales taxes, it is important to understand the demand elasticity of the good. A good whose demand is inelastic is more likely to favor high sales tax rates than a similar good with elastic demand. This elasticity of demand tries to explain the response that demand will generate based on an increase or a decrease in price of a good.
All of the following actions by a custodian in an account opened under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act are permitted except:_______.
A. donating funds to the account to make additional investments
B. withdrawing funds from the account for the custodian's use
C. managing the investments in the account with the objective of generating enough income for college tuition
D. selling securities in the account to generate proceeds for other investments
Answer: B. withdrawing funds from the account for the custodian's use
Explanation:
Under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, the Custodian's duty is to manage the account for the minor and allocate the assets within in such a way that it will bring about the best returns for the minor.
Custodians should not abuse this power for their own benefit or gain which is why the custodian withdrawing funds from the account for their own use is a violation of the act.
