Answer:
China
Explanation:
Calculation to determine which location would be most economical to produce the item
Using this formula
LaborCost per Unit=Labor Cost per Day/Production(units per day)
Let plug in the formula
Myanmar = 6 Laborers x $3/day = $18/day
Myanmar=$18/day/ 40 units
Myanmar= $0.45/unit
China = 10 Laborers x $2/day = $20/day
China= $20/day/ 45 units
China= $0.444/unit
Montana = 2 Laborers x $60/day = $120/day
Montana= $120/day/100 units
Montana = $1.20/unit
Therefore the location that would be most economical to produce the item is CHINA
Consider a firm with a 2018 net income of $20 million, revenue of $60 million, and cost of goods sold of $25 million. If the balance sheet amounts show $2 million of inventory and $500,000 of property, plant, and equipment, how many weeks of supply does the firm hold
Answer: 4.16 weeks
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, the number of weeks of supply that the firm hold will be:
= (average inventory/ cost of goods sold) × 52 weeks
= (2/25) × 52
= 4.16 weeks
Therefore, the weeks of supply that the firm hold is 4.16 weeks
You are planning to save for retirement over the next 25 years. To do this, you will invest $1,000 a month in a stock account and $700 a month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 9 percent, and the bond account will pay 6 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with a return of 7 percent. How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 20-year withdrawal period
Answer:
Monthly withdraw= $12,452.6
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total accumulated at the moment of retirement. We will use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Stock:
Monthly investment= $1,000
Interest rate= 0.09/12= 0.0075
Number of periods= 25*12= 300 months
FV= {1,000*[(1.0075^300) - 1]} / 0.0075
FV= $1,121,121.94
Bond:
Monthly investment= $700
Interest rate= 0.06/12= 0.005
Number of periods= 25*12= 300 months
FV= {700*[(1.005^300) - 1]} / 0.005
FV= 485,095.77
Total FV= 1,121,121.94 + 485,095.77
Total FV= $1,606,217.71
Now, the annual withdrawal:
Interest rate= 0.07/12= 0.005833
Number of months= 12*20= 240
Monthly withdraw= (FV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]
Monthly withdraw= (1,606,217.71*0.005833) / [1 - (1.005833^-240)]
Monthly withdraw= $12,452.6
Suppose that a bank has $80 in checkable deposits, reserves of $15 , and a reserve requirement of 10%. Also assume that the the bank suffers a $6 deposit outflow. If the bank chooses to borrow from the Fed to meet its reserve requirement, then the bank would need to borrow $nothing . (Round your response to the nearest two decimal place.)
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the amount of borrowing that's required will be:
= [ rr * ( D - O)] - (R-O)
where,
rr = reserve requirement = 10% = 0.1
D = checkable deposits = $80
R = reserves = $15
O = deposits outflow = $6
= [ 0.10 × ($80 - $6)] - ($15 - $6)
= [ 0.10 × $74 ] - $9
= $7.4 - $9
= -$1.60
You are planning to put $3,500 in the bank at the end of each year for the next four years in hopes that you will have enough money for a down payment on a condo. If you are investing at an annual interest rate of 5%, you'll have accumulated ___________ at the end of four years.
You decided to deposit your money in the bank at the beginning of the year instead of the end of the same year, but now you are making payments of $2,500 at an annual interest rate of 6%. How much money will you have available at the end of seven years?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual deposit (A)= $3,500
Number of periods (n)= 4 years
Interest rate (i)= 5%
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {3,500*[(1.05^4) - 1]} / 0.05
FV= $15,085.44
Now, the deposit is at the beginning:
Annual deposit (A)= $2,500
Number of periods (n)= 7 years
Interest rate (i)= 6%
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}
FV= {2,500*[(1.06^7) - 1]} / 0.06 + {[2,500*(1.06)^7] - 2,500}
FV= 20,984.59 + 1,259.08
FV= $22,243.67

Logan owns a horse ranch. Logan dislikes horses, but he opened the ranch because he heard it was a lucrative business and he wanted to make money. Logan’s horse ranch has lost money every year for the past 5 years (including this year), but Logan has made some changes to business operations, including hiring a consultant and increasing his prices. Logan anticipates that as a result of these changes, his horse ranch will generate a profit in the next year or two. This year, Logan hired his brother, Luke, to work at the horse ranch. Logan pays Luke $500/hr to clean the horse stalls. Logan also hired his best friend, Lucy, to do Logan’s grocery shopping and other personal errands. He pays Lucy $15/hr. Which of the following is most accurate?
a. Logan cannot deduct any of the costs associated with the horse ranch because the horse ranch would be classified as a hobby, not a business
b. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Luke because Luke works in Logan’s horse ranch business
c. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because the amount of the expense is reasonable
d. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because grocery shopping is ordinary and necessary
e. None of the above are correct
Answer:
Logan Horse Ranch
The most accurate is:
e. None of the above are correct
Explanation:
Logan's payment to his brother, Luke, of $500 per hour, is not a reasonable business expense that can be deductible. Surely, $500 per hour is not a going rate for cleaning the horse stalls per hour. With Lucy doing grocery shopping for Logan, it does not resonate like an ordinary and necessary expense for the business. Therefore, options A to D are not correct. This leaves only option E as the most accurate.

= [tex]\frac{Fixed \ cost}{Contribution \ margin}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{171564}{29}[/tex]
= [tex]5916 \ units[/tex]
(b)
Contribution margin will be:
= [tex]Sales-Variable \ cost[/tex]
= [tex]64-30[/tex]
= [tex]34 \ per \ unit[/tex] ($)
hence,
Breakeven will be:
= [tex]\frac{Fixed \ cost}{Contribution \ margin}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{171564}{34}[/tex]
= [tex]5046 \ units[/tex]

Waterways is thinking of mass-producing one of its special-order sprinklers. To do so would increase variable costs for all sprinklers by an average of $0.70 per unit. The company also estimates that this change could increase the overall number of sprinklers sold by 10%, and the average sales price would increase $0.20 per unit. Waterways currently sells 481,000 sprinkler units at an average selling price of $25.20. The manufacturing costs are $5,811,160 variable and $2,155,660 fixed. Selling and administrative costs are $2,673,680 variable and $798,370 fixed. If Waterways begins mass-producing its special-order sprinklers, how would this affect the company
Answer:
Waterways Corporation
If Waterways begins mass-producing its special-order sprinklers, its net operating income would almost double, increasing by $680,202.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Increase in variable costs per unit = $0.70
Increase in number of sprinklers sold = 10%
Increase in average sales price = $0.20
Current sales = 481,000 sprinkler units
Selling price = $25.20
New selling price = $25.40 ($25.20 + $0.20)
New quantity of sprinkler units = 529,100 (481,000 * 1.1)
Increase in variable cost = $370,370 (529,100 * $0.70)
New variable cost = $6,181,530 ($5,811,160 + $370,370)
Income Statements Normal Mass Production
Sales revenue $12,121,200 $13,439,140

Marko, Inc. is considering the purchase of ABC Co. Marko believes that ABC Co. can generate cash flows of $6,600, $11,600, and $17,800 over the next three years, respectively. After that time, they feel the business will be worthless. Marko has determined that a rate of return of 13 percent is applicable to this potential purchase. What is Marko willing to pay today to buy ABC Co.?
a. $39,420.00.b. $24,876.50.c. $28,896.22.d. $36,000.00.e. $27,261.50.
Answer:
e. $27,261.50
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What is Marko willing to pay today to buy ABC Co.
Present value (PV) = $6,600 / (1 + 0.13) + $11,600 / (1 + 0.13)^2 + $17,800 / (1 + 0.13)^3
Present value (PV) = $6,600 / (1 .13) + $11,600 / (1.13)^2 + $17,800 / (1 .13)^3
Present value (PV) =$27,261.50
Therefore the amount that Marko his willing to pay today to buy ABC Co will be $27,261.50

Mehta Company traded a used welding machine (cost $9,000, accumulated depreciation $3,000) for office equipment with an estimated fair value of $5,000. Mehta also paid $3,000 cash in the transaction. Prepare the journal entry to record the exchange. (The exchange has commercial substance.)
Answer:
Debit : Office Equipment at Fair Value $5,000
Debit : Accumulated depreciation - Welding machine $3,000
Debit : Profit and Loss $4,000
Credit : Cash $3,000
Credit : Cost of Welding Machine $9,000
Explanation:
If the exchange has commercial substance, the assets acquired is deemed to have a cost equal to the Fair Value of Asset given up.
Thus Fair Value of Asset given up (Welding Machine) is $5,000. This becomes the Cost of the New Asset - Office Equipment.
The Cost and Accumulated depreciation of the Old Asset are derecognized by Crediting and Debiting the respective Accounts. Also Cash advanced is recognized.
This journal calculates the Profit or Loss on the Exchange as $4,000 (loss).
Show the effect of each transaction on the three basic accounting elements by indicating the dollar amount of the increase or decrease under the proper element heading. Compute the resulting accounting equation.
a. Owner invested $16,500 cash in the business.
b. Paid premium for two-year insurance policy, $1,500.
c. Purchased a van valued at $35,000 with $5,000 down payment; the balance to be paid over three years.
d. Paid the rent for the month, $900.
e. Purchased $470 of supplies for cash.
f. Cash sales for the month, $8,750.
g. Billed credit customers $14,200 for monthly services.
Answer:
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity = $67,800
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the Effect of Each Transaction on the Three Basic Accounting Elements.
From attached excel file, the resulting accounting equation can be computed as follows
Assets = Total Cash + Total Insurance Prepaid + Total Van + Total Supplies + Total Accounts Receivable = $17,380 + $750 + $35,000 + $470 + $14,200 = $67,800
Liabilities = Total Accounts Payable = $30,000
Owner’s Equity = Total Capital + Total Retained earnings = $16,500 + $21,300 = $37,800
Liabilities + Owner’s Equity = $30,000 + $37,800 = $67,800
Therefore, we have:
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity = $67,800

On January 1, 2019, Wasson Company purchased a delivery vehicle costing $36,500. The vehicle has an estimated 6-year life and a $3,500 residual value. What is the vehicle's book value as of December 31, 2020, assuming Wasson uses the straight-line depreciation method
Answer:
Book value= $25,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $36,500
Residual value= $3,500
Useful life= 6 years
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (36,500 - 3,500) / 6
Annual depreciation= $5,500
Now, the accumulated depreciation and book value:
Accumulated depreciation= 5,500*2= $11,000

The return on investment of the Gamma stock is:
a) 7%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 1, 20X1 Purchase of common stock of Gamma Corporation = $100,000

How many annual payments of $2,900 will Kevin receive?
In a bid to determine the number of annual payments of $2,900 that Kevin would receive, we can make use of a financial calculator bearing in mind that the calculator would be set to its default end mode before making the below inputs and that the amount invested today is the present value of annual payments
PMT=2900(amount of each annual payment)
I/Y=12(the rate of interest to be earned annually without the "%" sign)
PV=-15451.93 (amount invested, it is negative since it is an outflow)
FV=0(after all annual payments have been received, number of outstanding annual payments would be nil)
CPT
