Total Overhead Assigned
3. Determine the amount of overhead Schell will assign to the Deluxe product line. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Total Overhead Assigned

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. The activity rate for each cost pool is

Material handling ($2,300) ÷ (50 + 50) = $23.00

Quality Control ($8,763) ÷ ($570  + 700) = $6.90

Machine Maintenance ($14,360)  ÷ (3,090 + 4,090) = $2.00

2    

Total overhead assigned to the standard floor mat line is

= $23 × 40 + $6.9 × 570 + $2 × 3,090

= $1,150 + $3,933 + $6,180

= $11,263.00

3    

Total overhead assigned to deluxe product line

= $23 × 50 +  $6.9 × 700 + $2 × 4,090

= $1,150 + $4,830 + $8,180

= $14,160.00

A stock has a market price of $25 and a standard deviation of returns of 24 percent. The $25 call option matures in 4 months and the risk-free rate is 2.89 percent. N(d1) is .555198 and N(d2) is .500096. What is the value of the call option per share of stock

Answers

Answer:

$334.38

Explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the value of call option

Value of call option = ( N ( [tex]d_{1}[/tex] )  S ) - N ( [tex]d_{2}[/tex] ) K [tex]e^{rt}[/tex]

Where

S = $25

N(d1) = 0.555198

N(d2) = 0.500096

K = 25

r = 2.89%

t = 4/12 = 0.3333

Placing values in the formula

Value of call option = ((0.555198 x $25 ) x $25) - ( 0.500096 x $25 ) x 1.00967891

Value of call option = $346.99875 - $12.62340

Value of call option = $334.37535

Value of call option = $334.38

Zhang Industries sells a product for $700. Unit sales for May were 400 and each month's sales are expected to exceed the prior month's results by 3%. Zhang pays a sales manager a monthly salary of $3,000 and a commission of 2% of sales. Compute the projected selling expense to be reported on the selling expense budget for the manager for month ended June 30.
a) $8,600.
b) $11,652.
c) $8,652.
d) $5,768.
e) $8,768.

Answers

Answer:

Total selling expense= $8,768

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $700

Sales for June in units= 400*1.03= 412

Fixed selling expense= $3,000

Sales commission= 2%

We need to calculate the total commission sales:

Total sales revenue= 700*412= $288,400

Total commission= 0.02*288,400

Total commission= 5,768

Now, the total selling expense:

Total selling expense= 5,768 + 3,000

Total selling expense= $8,768

A company has 1000000 shares outstanding trading at $15 a piece. Managers believe that the discount rate appropriate for the risk borne is 15% and total cash flows, expected to be $1 million next year, will rise by 5% per year indefinitely. Discuss a strategy that is beneficial to the current shareholders.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Knowing the value of the equity and establishing the intrinsic worth of the share may help you develop a perfect strategy that will benefit the current shareholders.

Value of the equity =  Cashflow÷(discount rate - growth rate)

= $1,000,000 ÷ (15%-5%)  

= $1,000,000 ÷ (10%)  

= $10,000,000

Intrinsic value per share = Value of the equity ÷ Shares outstanding

= $10,000,000 ÷ 1,000,000

= $10

For the share, The intrinsic value = $10

However, since the current trading share price is $15, then we can posit that the share price is over-valued.

As a result, the perfect strategy that will be beneficial to the shareholders is for the current shareholders to sell the shares (short selling at a high price and purchasing at a low price).

Based on this income statement for Company XYZ for the year ending December 31, 2014, what adjustment would need to be made to Net Income to account for Gain or Loss in calculating cash flow from Operating Activities using the indirect method

Answers

Answer:

a) Adjustment of (16,000) in the operating section.

Explanation:

While preparing the operating activities section of the cash flow statement, the net income, depreciation expense, amortization expense, loss on sale of an asset should be added and the profit on sale should be deducted

So there is the loss of $30,000 that should be added and the gain on sale should be deducted i.e. $46,000

So there is an adjustment of -$16,000 in the operating activities section

A

a. Functional silos.
b. Lack of attention on operational planning.
c. Overemphasis on forecasting.
d. Focus on tactics.

Answers

Answer:

Functional silos

Explanation:

Functional silo occurs when different teams with their responsibilities and functions have different views about a process.

The managers who have accumulated resources and influence are conflicted over the functional aspects of a process rather than looking out for the wider benefit of the business.

In the given scenario VP of Sales is very focused on increasing productivity according to forecasts, but the operations manager routinely presents obstacles to increasing production above current levels.

They are both pursuing conflicting agendas instead of working together.

This is called functional silo.

b. If the price of backpacks fell by 10%, the quantity demanded would rise by ________and revenue for the backpack industry would ______ .
c. If the price of backpacks rose by 20% the quantity demanded would fall by _______ and revenue for the backpack industry would ________.

Answers

Answer:

elastic

16%

32%

decrease

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

f. If $16,000 of dividends had been declared and paid during the year, what was the January 1, 2019, balance of retained earnings?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the total current asset is shown below

= Account receivable + cash + supplies + merchandise inventory

= $33,000 + $9,000 + $6,000 + $31,000

= $79,000

b The total liabilities and owners equity is

= Account payable + long term debt + common stock + retained earnings

= $23,000 + $40,000 + $10,000 + $59,000

= $132,000

c. The earnings from operations is

Sales revenue $140,000

Less cost of goods sold $90,000

Gross profit $50,000

add: service revenue $20,000

Less depreciation expense $12,000

Less supplies expense $14,000

Operating income $44,000

d. The net income is

= operating income - interest expense - income tax expense

= $44,000 - $4,000 - $12,000

= $28,000

e. The average income tax rate is

= $12,000 ÷ $40,000 × 100

= 30%

f. The beginning retained earnings is

= $59,000 + $16,000  - $28,000

= $47,000

Francisco leased equipment from Julio on December 31, 2021. The lease is a 10-year lease with annual payments of $159,000 due on December 31 of each year beginning December 31, 2021. The present value of the lease payments is $1,006,192. Francisco's incremental borrowing rate is 14% for this type of lease. The implicit rate of 12% is known by the lessee. What should be the balance in Francisco lease liability at December 31, 2022

Answers

Answer: $789855

Explanation:

Initial liability = $1,006,192

Less: Payment = $159,000

Liability = $847192

× Implicit rate 12%

Interest = 12% × $847192 = $101663

Then, reduced balance will be:

= Payment - Interest

= $159,000 - $101663

= $57337

Therefore, Francisco lease liability at December 31, 2022 will be:

= $847192 - $57337

= $789855

As you move from job shop towards continuous process: A. Your capital intensity decreases B. Your volume decreases C. Your customization ability decreases D. Your throughput decreases E. None of the above

Answers

Answer: C. Your customization ability decreases.

Explanation:

Job Shops are able to customize products and services because they manufacture products on a small scale and usually for individual job orders whereas continuous processing is more large scale and the products are more homogeneous.

As one move from a job shop to a continuous process, they will find that they would be unable to customize products as much as they could before because they would be producing a higher volume of goods and so would not have the time to be customizing the products as much.

Green Penguin Pencil Company has a total asset turnover ratio of 3.50x, net annual sales of $40 million, and operating expenses of $18 million (including depreciation and amortization). On its balance sheet and income statement, respectively, it reported total debt of $2.50 million on which it pays a 11% interest rate.
To analyze a company's financial leverage situation, you need to measure the firm's debt management ratios. Based on the preceding information, what are the values for Green Penguin Pencil's debt management ratios? The U.S. tax structure influences a firm's willingness to finance with debt. The tax structure debt.

Answers

Solution :

a). Asset turnover ratio = total sales / total asset   = 3.50

     Total asset         =   40 million / 3.5      =   1142857

     Total debt          =  2.50 million

Therefore, the debt ratio = [tex]$\frac{\text{debt}}{\text{total asset}}$[/tex]

                                         [tex]$=\frac{2500000}{1142857}$[/tex]

                                         = 2.18

b). Time interest earned ratio = EBIT/Interest

  EBIT = net sales - operating expense

           = 40,000,000 - 18,000,000

           = $ 22,000,000

Interest expense  = 10 % x 2,500,000

                              =  $ 250,000

Times interest earned ratio = EBIT/ interest expense

                                              = [tex]$\frac{\$ 22,000,000}{\$250,000}$[/tex]

                                               = 88 times

c). Total equity = total asset - total debt

                         =  400,000,000 - 2,500,000

                         = 397,500,000

   Money raised from the creditor for each dollar of equity

                         = 2,500,000/397,500,000

                         = 6%

If the potential customers belong to the same segment, display comparable characteristics, and choose the same product qualities consistent with their segment, then which condition for the ideal market segment approach should be used

Answers

Answer: internally homogenous

Explanation:

Since the potential customers belong to the same segment, display comparable characteristics, and choose the same product qualities that are consistent with their segment, then the condition for the ideal market segment approach which should be used is the internally homogeneous.

On the other hand, if the potential customers are in different segments, have different characteristics, and choose different product qualities, then the externally homogeneous will be ideal.

Mercury Company has only one inventory pool. On December 31, 2021, Mercury adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method. The inventory on that date using the dollar-value LIFO method was $201,000. Inventory data are as follows:


Year Ending Inventory at Year-End Costs Ending Inventory at Base Year Costs
2019 $260,400 $248,000
2020 347,300 302,000
2021 350,400 292,000

Required:
Compute the inventory at December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021, using the dollar-value LIFO method.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The cost index can be calculated as follows:

In 2019:

= 260400/248000

= 1.05

In 2020:

= 347300/302000

= 1.15

In 2021:

= 350400/292000

= 1.2

Inventory Layers converted to the base cost

12/31/20   201000            ÷        1               =           201000

12/31/20  260400            ÷        1.05          =           248000

12/31/20   347300            ÷        1.15           =            302000

12/31/20    350400           ÷        1.2            =            292000
