Answer:
Jackson's target total cost of producing and selling 6 million cans of paint of $31,800,000 will enable it to reach stockholders' profit goals of $6 million.
The implication is that it should not allow its total costs (Production and other business expenses) to exceed $37,800,000.
This is because its sales revenue will be equal to $43,800,000 (6,000,000 * $7.30).
As such, Jackson can produce a can of paint for $5.30. It can also incur an average business expense of $1.00 per can to maintain and reach its $6 million profit target.
Explanation:
Profit is the difference obtained after deducting all costs from the revenue. There are some profit stages. The first is the gross profit, which considers the sales revenue and the cost of goods sold. The next profit stage is the operating profit, which subtracts the business running expenses from the gross profit. There are also profits before and after interest and taxes. The after tax profit is also called the net income or net profit. If it is negative, then it is called the net loss. It is from the net income that distributions are made to stockholders in the form of dividends while a part is retained in the business to increase its capital stock or stockholders' equity.

Sam’s Long Life 75-watt light bulbs are designed to have a life of 1,130 hours with tolerances of ±200 hours. The process that makes light bulbs has a mean of 1,010 hours, with a standard deviation of 54 hours. Compute the process capability ratio and the process.
Answer:
Life of bulb = 1130 ± 200 hours
Lower specification level (LSL) = 1130 - 200
Lower specification level (LSL) = 930 hours
Upper specification level (USL) = 1130 + 200
Upper specification level (USL) = 1330 hours
S.D. of the process (σ) = 54 hours
Process mean (µ) = 1010 hours
Process capability = (USL – LSL)/6σ
Process capability = (1330 - 930)/(6*54)
Process capability = 400/324
Process capability = 1.2346
Process capability index = Minimum [(USL – µ)/3σ, (µ – LSL)/3σ]
= Minimum [(1330 - 1010)/(3*54), (1010 - 930)/(3*54)]
= Minimum [320/162], (80/162)
= Minimum[1.98, 0.49]
Process capability index = 0.429. The process capability > 1. Conclusion is that the process is capable.
Also, Process capability index =1.98. The process capability index < 1 and mean is towards lower specification limit, the bulbs produced will be of shorter life.
Process capability = 1.2346 (>1) indicates the process is capable, Process Capability = 0.49 (<1) indicates that shorter lived bulbs will be generated.

Consider the effects of an increase in the saving rate in the United States capital-labor ratio, according to the Solow model. The immediate effect of a saving rate increase would:
a. begin to increase the capital-labor ratio, increase output per worker, and reduce consumption per worker.
b. not immediately increase the capital-labor ratio, increase output per worker, and reduce consumption per worker.
c. begin to increase the capital-labor ratio, increase output per worker, and increase consumption per worker.
d. begin to increase the capital-labor ratio, not immediately increase output per worker, and reduce consumption per worker.
Answer: d. begin to increase the capital-labor ratio, not immediately increase output per worker, and reduce consumption per worker.
Explanation:
According to Solow, the accumulation of capital and labor are vital for economic growth. The Solow model believes that sustained increase in the investment of capital will only lead to a temporary rise in growth rate only as a result of the rise in capital to labour ratio.
He however believes that this may lead to a reduction in the marginal product of capital that were added and therefore such economy will revert back to long term growth as there'll be productivity in such economy.
The effect of an increase in the saving rate in the United States capital-labor ratio, according to the Solow model is that the immediate effect of a saving rate increase would begin to increase the capital-labor ratio, not immediately increase output per worker, and reduce consumption per worker.
Ben Bradley started Bradley Company on January 1, Year 1. The company experienced the following events during its first year of operation: Earned $2,900 of cash revenue for performing services. Borrowed $4,400 cash from the bank. Adjusted the accounting records to recognize accrued interest expense on the bank note. The note, issued on August 1, Year 1, had a one-year term and a 6 percent annual interest rate. Required a. What is the amount of interest expense in Year 1? b. What amount of cash was paid for interest in Year 1? c. Use a horizontal financial statements model to show how each event affects the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows. Indicate whether the event increases (I) or decreases (D) each element of the financial statements model. Also, in the Statement of Cash Flows column, classify the cash flows as operating activities (OA), investing activities (IA), or financing activities (FA). The first transaction has been recorded as an example. (Note: Not all cells will require an input.)
Answer:
Bradley Company
a) Amount of interest expense in Year 1 = $110
b) Amount of cash paid for interest in Year 1 = $0
c) Horizontal Financial Statements Model:
Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement
of cash flows
Assets = Liabilities + Equity Revenue - Expense = Profit
(I)+ $2,900 = Liabilities + $2,900 +$2,900 - 0 = +2,900 $2,900 OA
(I)+ $4,400 = +$4,400 + Equity 0 - 0 = Profit $4,400 FA
Assets = (I)+$110 + (D) ($110) 0 - ($110) = ($110) None
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Service Revenue in cash = $2,900
Bank Loan in cash = $4,400
Accrued Interest = $4,400 * 6% * 5/12 = $110
b) Each business transaction that Bradley undertakes has an effect on the accounting equation, but the equation is always in balance, if proper records are kept. This is because of the duality of transactions as recorded by the double-entry system of accounting. One transaction can increase an element of the equation and increase or decrease the other element as we have demonstrated above.

Merchandise costing $1,600 is sold for $2,600 on terms 2/30, n/60. If the customer pays within the discount period, what amount will be reported on the income statement as net sales and as gross profit?
Answer:
Net sales $2,548 and gross profit $948
Explanation:
2/30 means a 2% discount if payment is made within 30 days. Since the customer paid within the discount period,
net sales will be
The discount amount = 2% of $2600
=2/100 x $2600
=0.02 x $2600
=$52
Net sales:
= $2600 - $52
=$2,548
The gross profit will be the selling price- purchase price.
=$2,548 - $1,600
=$948
Fill in the blank: City hotels are typically (Inexpensive/expensive/uncomfortable) because they are in the commercial and business areas of the city. They usually cater to (Leisure/budget/business) travelers, who prefer staying in the city.
Answer:
Expensive, Business
Explanation:
City hotels are typically expensive because they are in the commercial and business areas of the city. They usually cater to business travelers, who prefer staying in the city.
Rent and rates in the cities are usually higher than in other areas. Businesses located in the cities, especially those in the hospitality industry, will charge a higher price than those found in other regions of the economy.
Hotels in the cities pay higher rent. They also offer premium services hence charge higher prices.

Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $53,75 per machine hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Order size:
Estimated activity cost= $585,866
Estimated machine hours= 10,900
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 585,866/10,900
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $53,75 per machine hour

Marketing cannot be successful if the product is not what the customer wants or if the quality is low.
True or False?
Why does supply decrease when the price
of resources increases?
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
Resources are the ( inputs) materials used in the production of goods meant for sale. The cost of inputs has a direct impact on the price of the finished goods(output). An increase in the cost of inputs increases the cost of production. An increase in production cost increases without a corresponding rise in the selling price means that the profits margin per unit will decline.
Suppliers are motivated to sell or deliver more quantities in the market by profit prospects. An increase in the costs of inputs decreases profit margins. Reduced profits margin result in suppliers supplying reduced quantities in the markets.
On September 30, 2021, the San Fillipo Corporation issued 8% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $180 million. The bonds mature on September 30, 2041 (20 years). The market rate of interest for similar bonds was 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on March 31 and September 30.
Required:
Determine the price of the bonds on September 30, 2021.
Answer:
Bond Price = $149.1136446 million rounded off to $149.11
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 180 million * 0.08 * 6/12 = 7.2 million
Total periods (n) = 20 * 2 = 40
r or YTM = 0.1 * 6/12 = 0.05 or 5%
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 7.2 * [( 1 - (1+0.05)^-40) / 0.05] + 180 / (1+0.05)^40
Bond Price = $149.1136446 million rounded off to $149.11

g Twins Jane and Hal each inherited $150,000 exactly ten years ago. Jane invested the entire amount in a brokerage account to fund her retirement. Her account has been earning 8% per year since she invested it, and she expects it to earn 5% per year for the next 20 years. Hal spent all of his inheritance and has not saved anything for retirement. Assume there are no taxes. a. How much is Jane expected to have in her account at retirement (20 years from now)? b. Due to sibling rivalry, Hal wants to have at least $100,000 more saved at retirement (20 years from now) than Jane is expected to have at that time. He plans to make an equal deposit each year in an account earning the same annual interest rate as Jane’s, i.e., 5%, with the first deposit occurring one year from today and the last occurring 20 years from today. How much must Hal deposit each year in order to achieve his goal?
Answer:
a) Jane currently has $150,000 x (1 + 8%)¹⁰ = $323,838.75 in her account
in 20 years, she will have $323,838.75 x (1 + 5%)²⁰ = $859,240.61
b) we can use the future value of an annuity formula to calculate Hal's annual contribution.
future value = annual contribution x annuity factor
annual contribution = future value / annuity factor
future value = $959,240.61FV annuity factor, 5%, 20 periods = 33.066annual contribution = $959,240.61 / 33.066 = $29,009.88

Job Costing Budgeted Manufacturing Overhead Rate, Allocated Manufacturing Overhead Taylor Company uses normal costing. It allocates manufacturing overhead costs using a budgeted rate per machine-hour. The following data are available for 2017: Budgeted manufacturing overhead costs $3,800,000 Budgeted machine-hours 200,000 Actual manufacturing overhead costs $3,660,000 Actual machine-hours 196,000 Use the blue shaded areas on the ENTERANSWERS tab for inputs. Always use cell references and formulas where appropriate to receive full credit. If you copy/paste from the Instructions tab you will be marked wrong. Requirements 1 Calculate the budgeted manufacturing overhead rate. 2 Calculate the manufacturing overhead allocated during 2017. 3 Calculate the amount of under- or overallocated manufacturing overhead. a. Enter your answer as a positive value.
Answer:
1. Budgeted manufacturing overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing overhead costs / Budgeted machine-hours
Budgeted manufacturing overhead rate = $3,800,000 / 200,000
Budgeted manufacturing overhead rate = $19
2. The manufacturing overhead allocated during 2017 = Actual machine-hours * Budgeted manufacturing overhead rate
Manufacturing overhead allocated = 196,000 * $19
Manufacturing overhead allocated =$3,724,000
3. Manufacturing overhead costs over-allocated = Manufacturing overhead allocated during 2017 - Actual manufacturing overhead costs
Manufacturing overhead costs over-allocated = $3,724,000 - $3,660,000
Manufacturing overhead costs over-allocated = $64,000

A small nation of 10 people idolizes the TV show The Voice. All they produce and consume are karaoke machines and CDs, in the following amounts: Karaoke Machines CDs Quantity Price Quantity Price (Dollars) (Dollars) 2017 20 50 60 5 2018 21 70 80 6 Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is . (Note: Use 2017 as the base year, and fix the basket at 2 karaoke machine and 6 CDs.) Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is . (Note: Again, use 2017 as the base year.) Which of the following statements is correct
Answer:
1. Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is;
Value of market basket of the good in 2017
= (50 * 2) + (5 * 6)
= $130
Value of market basket of the good in 2018
= (70 * 2) + (6 * 6)
= $176
CPI in 2017
= 130/ 130 * 100
= 100
CPI in 2018
= 176 / 130 * 100
= 135.38
Percentage change
= (135.38 - 100)/100
= 35.38%.
2. Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is ;
Nominal GDP in 2017
= (50 * 20) + (5 * 60)
= $1,300
Nominal GDP in 2018
= (70 * 21) + (6 * 80)
= $1,950
Real GDP using 2017 prices
Real GDP in 2017
= (50 * 20) + (5 * 60)
= $1,300
Real GDP in 2018
= (50 * 21) + (5 * 80)
= $1,450
GDP deflator in 2017
= (Nominal GDP in 2020 / Real GDP in 2020) * 100
= (1,300 / 1,300) * 100
= 100
GDP deflator in 2021
= (Nominal GDP in 2021 / Real GDP in 2021) * 100
= (1,950 / 1,450) * 100
= 134.48
Percentage Change
= [(134.48 - 100) / 100] * 100
= 34.48%
3. Which of the following statements is correct
a. The inflation rate in 2018 is not the same using the two methods.
b. The GDP deflator allows the basket of goods and services to change.
Corporation has many production plants across the midwestern United States. A newly opened plant, the Bellingham plant, produces and sells one product. The plant is treated, for responsibility accounting purposes, as a profit center. The unit standard costs for a production unit, with overhead applied based on direct labor hours, are as follows. Manufacturing costs (per unit based on expected activity of 24,000 units or 36,000 direct labor hours): Direct materials (2 pounds at $20) $ 40.00 Direct labor (1.5 hours at $90) 135.00 Variable overhead (1.5 hours at $20) 30.00 Fixed overhead (1.5 hours at $30) 45.00 Standard cost per unit $ 250.00 Budgeted selling and administrative costs: Variable $ 5 per unit Fixed $ 1,800,000 Expected sales activity: 20,000 units at $425.00 per unit Desired ending inventories: 10% of sales Assume this is the first year of operations for the Bellingham plant. During the year, the company had the following activity. Units produced 23,000 Units sold 21,500 Unit selling price $ 420 Direct labor hours worked 34,000 Direct labor costs $ 3,094,000 Direct materials purchased 50,000 pounds Direct materials costs $ 1,000,000 Direct materials used 50,000 pounds Actual fixed overhead $ 1,080,000 Actual variable overhead $ 620,000 Actual selling and administrative costs $ 2,000,000 In addition, all over- or underapplied overhead and all product cost variances are adjusted to cost of goods sold. c. Find the direct labor variances. Indicate if they
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $34,000 unfvorable
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $45,000 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard:
Expected activity of 24,000 units or 36,000 direct labor hours
Direct labor (1.5 hours at $90)
Actual:
Units produced 23,000
Direct labor hours worked 34,000
Direct labor costs $ 3,094,000
To calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 3,094,000/34,000= $91 per hour
Direct labor rate variance= (90 - 91)*34,000
Direct labor rate variance= $34,000 unfvorable
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (23,000*1.5 - 34,000)*90
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $45,000 favorable
