Factory Overhead Volume Variance Dvorak Company produced 5,100 units of product that required 3.5 standard hours per unit. The standard fixed overhead cost per unit is $2.50 per hour at 18,750 hours, which is 100% of normal capacity. Determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer:
$2,250 Favourable
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50 × [18,750 hrs. – (5,100 units × 3.5 hrs.)]
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×[18,750 hrs. – 17,850 hrs]
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×900
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2,250 Favourable
Therefore the fixed factory overhead volume variance will be $2,250 Favourable

he Hudson Corporation has 8,100 obsolete units of a product that are carried in inventory at a manufacturing cost of $162,000. If the units are remachined for $40,900, they could be sold for $73,000. Alternatively, the units could be sold for scrap for $28,100. The alternative that is more desirable and the total relevant costs for that alternative are:
Answer:
It is more profitable to re-process the units. Income will increase by $4,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Number of units= 8,100
Re-process the units:
Total cost= $40,900
Selling price= $73,000
Sold as-is:
Selling price= $28,100
We will conduct an incremental analysis, therefore the first manufacturing costs should not be taken into account. They remain constant in both options.
Re process:
Effect on income= 73,000 - 40,900
Effect on income= $32,100 increase
Sold as-is:
Effect on income= $28,100 increase
It is more profitable to re-process the units. Income will increase by $4,000.
Consider two perfectly negatively correlated risky securities A and B. A has an expected rate of return of 12% and a standard deviation of 70%. B has an expected rate of return of 8% and a standard deviation of 40%. The global minimum variance portfolio that can be formed with the two securities will earn _____ rate of return.
Answer: 9.45%
Explanation:
To solve this question, we need to know the weights of securities A and B and this will be:
Weight of A = STD of B / (STD of A + STD of B)
= 40% / (70% + 40%)
= 40% / 110%
= 0.4/1.1
= 0.3636
Weight of security A = 0.3636
Weight of security B = 1 - 0.3636 = 0.6364
Then, the rate of return of risk free portfolio will be:
= (Return of A × Weight of A) + (Return of B × Weight of B)
= (12% × 0.3636) + (8% × 0.6364)
= 0.043632 + 0.050912
= 0.094544
= 9.45%

Explanation:
Joyce works hard and puts in many extra hours. For this, she can anticipate a pay raise, a promotion, or an expanded sales territory. However, getting a promotion is most important to Joyce. According to the useful guidelines of the ____ theory, Jim, her manager, must recognize that (1) she is putting in hard work and long hours to obtain a promotion, (2) what motivates Joyce will change over time, and (3) he must clearly show Joyce how to attain the desirable reward.
Answer:
Expectancy theory
Explanation:
Expectancy theory states that when an individual is faced with different choices they will be motivated in a certain way in choosing a particular option based on what they expect to be the result of the choice.
So behaviour is affected by perceived result or consequence of a particular choice.
In the given scenario Joyce works hard and puts in many extra hours, and getting a promotion is most important to Joyce.
So because of her expectations that manager must recognise that:
(1) she is putting in hard work and long hours to obtain a promotion,
(2) what motivates Joyce will change over time (if she does not get the promotion), and
(3) he must clearly show Joyce how to attain the desirable reward.
Product A consists of two units of Subassembly B, two units of C, and one unit of D. B is composed of four units of E and two units of F. C is made of two units of H and three units of D. H is made of five units of E and two units of G. To produce 100 units of A, determine the numbers of units of B, C, D, E, F, G, and H required using the low-level coded product structure tree.
Level 0 100 units of A
Level 1 units of B
units of C
Level 2 units of F
units of H
units of D
Level 3 units of E
units of G
Answer:
[tex]B = 200\ units[/tex] [tex]C = 200\ units[/tex]
[tex]F = 400\ units[/tex] [tex]H = 400\ units[/tex]
[tex]D = 700\ units[/tex] [tex]E = 2800\ units[/tex]
[tex]G = 800\ units[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
[tex]A = 100\ units[/tex]
See attachment for right presentation of question
Solving (a): The low level coded product structure tree
This is plotted by considering the hierarchy or level of each product item and their corresponding units.
See attachment (2)
Solving (b): The number of units of each.
To do this, we multiply the units of the given product by the number of unit the fall under.
So, we have:
Products B and C are directly under A, so we multiply their units by units of A.
[tex]B = 2 * A = 2 * 100[/tex]
[tex]B = 200\ units[/tex]
[tex]C = 2 * A = 2 * 100[/tex]
[tex]C = 200\ units[/tex]
Product F is directly under B, so we multiply its units by units of B.
[tex]F = 2 * B = 2 * 200[/tex]
[tex]F = 400\ units[/tex]
Product H is directly under C, so
[tex]H = 2 * C = 2 * 200[/tex]
[tex]H = 400\ units[/tex]
Product D has of 3 units of C and 1 unit of A. So:
[tex]D = 3 * C + 1 * A[/tex]
[tex]D = 3 * 200 + 1 * 100[/tex]
[tex]D = 700\ units[/tex]
Product E has of 4 units of B and 5 units of H. So:
[tex]E = 4 * B + 5 * H[/tex]
[tex]E = 4 *200 + 5 * 400[/tex]
[tex]E = 2800\ units[/tex]
Product G has 2 units of H.
So:
[tex]G = 2 * H = 2 * 400[/tex]
[tex]G = 800\ units[/tex]

Janet Foster bought a computer and printer at Computerland. The printer had a $900 list price with a $100 trade discount and 2/10, n/30 terms. The computer had a $4,060 list price with a 25% trade discount but no cash discount. On the computer, Computerland offered Janet the choice of (1) paying $160 per month for 17 months with the 18th payment paying the remainder of the balance or (2) paying 8% interest for 18 months in equal payments.
a. Assume Janet could borrow the money for the printer at 8% to take advantage of the cash discount. How much would Janet save? (Use 360 days a year. Round your answer to the nearest cent.) Janet's savings $
b. On the computer, what is the difference in the final payment between choices 1 and 2? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) Difference final payment
Answer:
Janet Foster
a. Janet could save $12.44 on the printer by borrowing $800 to take advantage of the cash discount.
b. On the computer, the difference in the final payment between choices 1 and 2 is $197.
It is advisable for Janet to choose the first option.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Printer:
List price of printer = $900
Trade discount = 100
Purchase cost = $800
Cash discount terms = 2/10, n/30
Cash discount = $16 ($800 * 2%)
Interest on loan to purchase printer = $3.56 ($800 * 8% * 20/360)
Savings if loan is borrowed = $12.44 ($16 - $3.56)
Computer:
List price = $4,060
Trade discount = 25% or $1,015 ($4,060 * 25%)
Purchase cost = $3,045
Payment options:
1) = $160 * 17 months = $2,720
Balance on 18th month 325
Total payment = $3,045
2) = Payment with 8% interest for 18 months equal payment = $180.08
From an online financial calculator:
N (# of periods) 18
I/Y (Interest per year) 8
PV (Present Value) $3,045
FV (Future Value) 0
P/Y (# of periods per year) 12
C/Y (# of times interest compound per year) 12
PMT made at the end of each period
Results
PMT = $180.08
Sum of all periodic payments $3,241.48
Total Interest $196.48
Difference in final payment:
Choice 1 , total payment = $3,045
Choice 2, total payment = $3,242
Difference in final payment = $197

All of the following statements about exit in monopolistic competition are true, except: Select the correct answer below: When economic losses induce firms to leave the industry, demand for the original firm decreases. As long as a monopolistic competitive firm is earning positive economic profits, new competitors will continue to enter the market, Even though a monopolistically competitive firm may earn positive economic profits in the short term, the process of new entry will drive down economic profits to zero in the long run. In an environment with monopolistic competition, economic losses induce firms to leave the industry.
Answer:
When economic losses induce firms to leave the industry, demand for the original firm decreases.
Explanation:
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned

Which statement is CORRECT? Automatic stabilizers are risky to use and sometimes can get the economy destabilized. Discretionary fiscal policy shows automatic adjustments without any specific effort by policy makers. Discretionary fiscal policy indicates deliberate action by policy makers. Automatic stabilizers indicate deliberate action by policy makers.
Answer:
Discretionary fiscal policy indicates deliberate action by policy makers.
Explanation:
Automatic stabilizers are stabilizers that adjust the economy automatically without the intervention of external agents . examples include progressive tax and transfer payments
In an expansion, progressive tax increases the tax paid and this reduces disposable income
In a contraction, tax paid is reduced and this increases disposable income
Discretionary fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise.
Discretionary fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary
Expansionary fiscal policy is when the government increases the money supply in the economy either by increasing spending or cutting taxes.
Contractionary fiscal policies is when the government reduces the money supply in the economy either by reducing spending or increasing taxes

2 Jodi owns 112 shares of stock selling for $16.20. How many more shares can she purchase after receiving a dividend of $0.80 por share? Round your answer to a whole number.
Answer:
The number of new shares = 6
Explanation:
Dividend is the proportion of profit paid by a company to its shareholder as a form of return on their investment. Another form of return on share investment is the capital gain; which is the difference between the selling price of a share now and its cost when it was purchased.
For Jodi, we need to first calculate the amount of dividends earned on the total shares she owns. And then divide the result by the current purchase price of a share to arrive at the number of shares she can buy more. This is done as follows:
Total dividends = 112× 0.80 = $89.6
Current price of a share = $16.20
THe number of shares that can be purchased= 89.6/16.20=5.5
The number of new shares = 6

is an unlevered firm with a total market value of $3,900,000 with 60,000 shares of stock outstanding. The firm has expected EBIT of $220,000 if the economy is normal and $280,000 if the economy booms. The firm is considering a $975,000 bond issue with an attached interest rate of 6 percent. The bond proceeds will be used to repurchase shares. Ignore taxes. What will the earnings per share be after the repurchase if the economy booms
Answer:
Earnings per share= $3.58
Explanation:
Earnings per share(EPS) = Earnings attributable to share/Number of shares
Price per share = $3,900,000/60,000=$65 per share
The units of shares to be re-purchased with debt proceed
= The proceeds from debt/share price
=$975,000/$65= 15,000
The number of shares outstanding after repurchased = 60,000-15,000= 45,000 units
EBIT 220,000
Less interest (6%×975,000) (58,500)
Earnings attributable to shares 151,500
Earnings per share 151,500/45,000 units=$3.58
Earnings per share= $3.58
On January 8, the end of the first weekly pay period of the year, Regis Company's employees earned $21,760 of office salaries and $60,840 of sales salaries. Withholdings from the employees' salaries include FICA Social Security taxes at the rate of 6.2%, FICA Medicare taxes at the rate of 1.45%, $12,860 of federal income taxes, $1,360 of medical insurance deductions, and $900 of union dues. No employee earned more than $7,000 in this first period.
Required:
Calculate the amounts for each of these four taxes of Regis Company.
Answer:
FICA-Social security = $5,121.20
FICA-Medicare = $1,197.70
FUTA = $495.60
SUTA = $4,130
Explanation:
Note: The four taxes of Regis Company required to be calculated as follows:
FICA-Social security
FICA-Medicare
FUTA
SUTA
Therefore, we have:
Total earnings = Office salaries + Sales salaries = $21,760 + $60,840 = $82,600
Tax = Total earnings * Tax rate ...................... (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
FICA-Social security = $82,600 * 6.20% = $5,121.20
FICA-Medicare = $82,600 * 1.45% = $1,197.70
FUTA = $82,600 * 0.60% = $495.60
SUTA = $82,600 * 5% = $4,130.00

Present Value = Future Value ÷ (1+ rate of interest)^number of years
a. After one year
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^1
= $16,509.434
b. After 2 years
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^2
= $17,500 ÷ 1.1236
= $15,574.94
c. After 3 years
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^3
= $17,500 ÷ 1.191016
= $14,693.34
Therefore, the present value after one year, 2 years and third year is $16,509.434 ,$15,574.94 and $14,693.34 respectively
