Famtrk153 Corp. is a popular car-wash operation that measures its activity in terms of number of cars washed. Last month, the budgeted level of activity was 1,140 cars washed and the actual level of activity was 1,130 cars washed. The cost formula for the washing expenses is $3.80 per car washed plus $21,000 per month. (ID#11659) The actual Famtrk153's washing expense was $21,700. Q) What was the Famtrk153's spending variance for the washing expenses last month?
Answer:
the spending variance is $3,594 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the spending variance is as follows
Budgeted Expense is
= 1,130 cars × $3.80 per car + $21,000
= $4,294 + $21,000
= $25,294
And, the actual expese is $21,700
So, the spending variance is
= $25,294 - $21,700
= $3,594
Hence, the spending variance is $3,594 favorable
The ship Audie Murphy leaves the New York Port with a ship load of GMC pick-up trucks bound for the Port of Istanbul, Turkey. A fire breaks out aboard the ship and destroys more than thirty GMC pick-up trucks. After an investigation it has been unable to determine the cause. Who is financially responsible for the damage
Answer: c. The Owner of the ship - Jack Palace
Explanation:
The investigation was unable to determine the cause of the fire. While this does not clear any party, it does not lay the blame on any party either.
In such a case the financial responsibility will fall on the company operating the transport company which in this case is Jack Palace who is the owner of the ship.
A manager must decide how many machines of a certain type to buy. The machines will be used to manufacture a new gear for which there is increased demand. The manager has narrowed the decision to two alternatives: buy one machine or buy two. If only one machine is purchased and demand is more than it can handle, a second machine can be purchased at a later time. However, the cost per machine would be lower if the two machines were purchased at the same time. The estimated probability of low demand is .30, and the estimated probability of high demand is .70. The net present value associated with the purchase of two machines initially is $75,000 if demand is low and $130,000 if demand is high. The net present value for one machine and low demand is $90,000. If demand is high, there are three options. One option is to do nothing, which would have a net present value of $90,000. A second option is to subcontract; that would have a net present value of $110,000. The third option is to purchase a second machine. This option would have a net present value of $100,000. How many machines should the manager purchase initially
Answer:
BUY TWO MACHINES
Explanation:
Calculation for how many machines should the manager purchase initially
BUY ONE MACHINE =(High demand 0.7*100,000)+(Low demand 0.3*90,000)
BUY ONE MACHINE =70,000+27,000
BUY ONE MACHINE=97,000
Note :High demand 100,000 is the Average of Do nothing ,Tomorrow Sub-contract and Buy second machine
High demand=90,000+110,000+100,000
High demand=300,000/3
High demand=100,000
BUY TWO MACHINES
High demand =(0.7 x 130000)
High demand= 91,000
Low demand= (0.3 x 75000)
Low demand=22,500
Hence,
BUY TWO MACHINES= (91,000 + 22,500)
BUY TWO MACHINES=113,500
Based on the above calculation we can see that
the expected payoff from BUY ONE MACHINE is 97,000 while that of BUY TWO MACHINES is 113,500 which means that BUY TWO MACHINES is higher hence, the manager should BUY TWO MACHINES today.
The following information is taken from Reagan Company's December 31 balance sheet: Cash and cash equivalents $ 10,319 Accounts receivable 79,922 Merchandise inventories 69,862 Prepaid expenses 6,000 Accounts payable $ 16,850 Notes payable 96,138 Other current liabilities 11,400 If net credit sales for the current year were $602,000, the firm's days' sales uncollected for the year is: (Use 365 days a year.)
Answer:
49 days
Explanation:
Account receivable turnover ratio = Net credit sales / Accounts receivable
Account receivable turnover ratio = $602,000 / $79,922
Account receivable turnover ratio = 7.53
Average collection period = 365/7.53
Average collection period = 48.47277556440903
Average collection period = 49
Thus, firm’s sales uncollected for year is 49 days.
Company A considers buying company B by means of a tender offer. Company B will accept any offer of A which reflects a fair value (namely, any offer which is not below the expected value of the project to B, given B's information). Company B is currently undertaking a major project. If the project is a complete failure the fair value of each share of B will be $60, and if it's a complete success the fair value of a share will be $120. The outcome of the project can vary from a complete failure to a complete success, and all outcomes are equally likely. That is, the fair value of a share of B can be any number between 60 and 120 equally likely. The management of A is significantly more skillful than that of B. Under the management of A the share price of B will be $20 higher than under the current management of B. Assume that the offer of A is made before the outcome of the project is known, but B will decide to accept or reject after the outcome is announced. What should A offer B in terms of a price per share
Answer:
the price per share in the case when A offers B is $200
Explanation:
The computation of the price per share is as follows:
The fair value is
= ($60 + $120) × 50%
= $90
The 50% represent the percentage of equally
Now the price per share is
= $90 + $90 + $20
= $90 + $110
= $200
Hence, the price per share in the case when A offers B is $200
The same is to be considered
If a preferred stock from Pfizer Inc. (PFE) pays $4.00 in annual dividends, and the required return on the preferred stock is 8.00 percent, what's the value of the stock?
a. $50.00
b. $0.32
c. $32.00
d. $0.50
Answer:
Option a ($50.00) seems to be the right approach.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Annual dividend is,
= $4.00
Required return is,
= 8.00% i.e., 0.08
By using the formula, we get
⇒ [tex]Value \ of \ the \ stock=\frac{Annula \ Dividend}{Required \ return}[/tex]
On putting the above given values, we get
⇒ [tex]=\frac{4.00}{0.08 }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=50[/tex] ($)
Pexura731 Corporation conducts get-rich-quickly workshops and uses two measures of activity, classes and students, in the cost formulas in its internal financial and operating reports. The cost formula for workshops is $450 per month plus $105 per class plus $25 per student. Pexura731 expected its activity in January to be 15 classes and 125 students, but the actual activity was 9 classes and 108 students. (ID#92589) The actual cost for workshops in January was $4,450. Q) What was Pexura731's spending variance for workshops in January?
Answer:
355 (Unfavorable)
Explanation:
Budgeted Cost for Actual Output = $450 + ($105 * Actual No of Classes) + ($28 *Actual No of Student)
Budgeted Cost for Actual Output = $450 + ($105*9) + ($25*108)
Budgeted Cost for Actual Output = $450 + $945 + $2,700
Budgeted Cost for Actual Output = $4,095
Actual Cost for Actual output = $4,450
Spending Variance = Actual Cost for Actual output - Budgeted cost for Actual Output
Spending Variance = $4,450 - $4,095
Spending Variance = 355 (Unfavorable)
It is Unfavorable as actual expenditure is more than what is budgeted.
Tasty Time Cafeteria operates cafeteria food services in public buildings in the Midwest. Tasty Time is contemplating a major change in its cost structure. Currently, all of their cafeteria lines are staffed with hourly wage employees who hand serve the food to customers. Benson Riggs, Tasty Time’s owner, is considering replacing the employees with an automated self-service system. However, before making the change, Benson would like to know the consequences of the change, since the volume of business varies significantly from location to location. Shown below are the CVP income statements for each alternative.
Personal Service System Automated Self-Service System
Sales $2,280,000 $2,280,000
Variable costs 1,710,000 1,140,000
Contribution margin $570,000 $1,140,000
Fixed costs 114,000 684,000
Net Income $456,000 $456,000
Required:
a. Determine the degree of operating leverage for each alternative.
b. Which alternative would produce the higher net income if sales increased by $228,000?
Answer:
a. Personal Service System = 1.25 and Automated Self-Service System = 2.50
b. Automated Self-Service System will produce the higher net income.
Explanation:
1. Degree of Operating Leverage (DOL)
Degree of Operating Leverage (DOL) shows the times Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) will change as a result of a change in sales contribution.
Degree of Operating Leverage (DOL) = Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax
Therefore,
Degree of Operating Leverage (DOL) for each service will be as follows :
Personal Service System = $570,000 ÷ $456,000
= 1.25
Automated Self-Service System = $1,140,000 ÷ $456,000
= 2.50
2. Effect on Net Income
If Sales increase by $228,000, that is a 10 % increase.
Which will have the following effect on Net Incomes of the proposed services :
Personal Service System = 10 % × 1.25 = 12.5 %
Automated Self-Service System = 10 % × 2.50 = 25 %
Conclusion
Automated Self-Service System will produce the higher net income.

Answer:
violates ethical, but not legal, standards.
Explanation:
Sherman act was created to prohibit restrains on trade of any collusion by different parties to form a monopoly or control price.
The act does not however prohibit all restraints of trade, bit rather those that are very unreasonable and harmful to competition.
In the given scenario the three companies only agreed to bid lowest for the 3 project under consideration.
Their action does not give them unfair advantage over other firms and may even lead to a loss on their part.
They do not have a strategy that will guarantee an edge over other firms.
So this is an ethical violation but not a legal one.

Sheridan Company purchased a depreciable asset for $567000. The estimated salvage value is $29000, and the estimated useful life is 10000 hours. Carson used the asset for 1700 hours in the current year. The activity method will be used for depreciation. What is the depreciation expense on this asset in the current year
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $91,460
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $567,000
Salvage value= $29,000
Useful life in hours= 10,000
To calculate the depreciation per year using the activity method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in hours]*hours operated
Annual depreciation= [(567,000 - 29,000) / 10,000]*1,700
Annual depreciation= 53.8*1,700
Annual depreciation= $91,460

A small producer of machine tools wants to move to a larger building, and has identified two alternatives. Location A has annual fixed costs of $150,000 and variable costs of $20,000 per unit; location B has annual fixed costs of $350,000 and variable costs of $18,000 per unit. The finished items sell for $22,000 each. a. At what volume of output would the two locations have the same total cost
Answer: 100 units
Explanation:
Assume the volume of output where the two locations have the same total cost is x.
Volume is;
150,000 + 20,000x = 350,000 + 18,000x
20,000x - 18,000x = 350,000 - 150,000
2,000x = 200,000
x = 200,000 / 2,000
x = 100 units

At the beginning of its fiscal year, the Town of Harmon estimates that its revenues for street maintenance activities are $100,000, and it appropriates $90,000 forstreet maintenance supplies. It currently has outstanding encumbrances for street maintenance supplies of $40,000 and has incurred expenditures for street maintenance supplies of $30,000. How much does the Town of Harmon currently have available to spend for street maintenance supplies
Answer:
The amount that the Town of Harmon currently have available to spend for street maintenance supplies is $20,000.
Explanation:
From the question, we can obtain the following:
Amount appropriated for street maintenance supplies = $90,000
Outstanding encumbrances for street maintenance supplies = $40,000
Expenditures incurred for street maintenance supplies = $30,000
Therefore, we have:
Amount currently available to spend for street maintenance supplies = Amount appropriated for street maintenance supplies - Outstanding encumbrances for street maintenance supplies - Expenditures incurred for street maintenance supplies = $90,000 - $40,000 - $30,000 = $20,000
Therefore, the amount that the Town of Harmon currently have available to spend for street maintenance supplies is $20,000.

A company purchased property for a building site. The costs associated with the property were: Purchase price $ 184,000 Real estate commissions 15,900 Legal fees 1,700 Expenses of clearing the land 2,900 Expenses to remove old building 1,900 What portion of these costs should be allocated to the cost of the land and what portion should be allocated to the cost of the new building
Answer: The portion of these costs that will be allocated to the cost of the land is $206,400 and the portion that should be allocated to the cost of the new building is 0.
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Purchase price = $184,000
Real estate commissions = $15,900
Legal fees = $1,700
Expenses of clearing the land = $2,900
Expenses to remove old building = $1,900
Therefore, the portion of these costs should be allocated to the cost of the land will be:
= $184,000 + $15,900 + $1,700 + $2,900 + $1,900
= $206,400
It should also be noted that building cost will be 0.
