Answer: $8820
Explanation:
The total amount of budgeted direct labor for March will be calculated thus:
Production in March = 980
Estimated labor hour = 0.5hour
Labor rate per hour = $18
Total amount of budgeted labor hour will be:
= 980 × 0.5 × $18
= $8820
The master budget of Marigold Corp. shows that the planned activity level for next year is expected to be 50000 machine hours. At this level of activity, the following manufacturing overhead costs are expected:
Indirect labor $800000
Machine supplies 250000
Indirect materials 250000
Depreciation on factory building 70000
Total manufacturing overhead $1370000
A flexible budget for a level of activity of 60000 machine hours would show total manufacturing overhead costs of :_________.
a. $1630000
b. $1370000.
c. $1644000.
d. $1574000.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
First, we need to separate the fixed costs and calculate the unitary variable costs:
Fixed costs:
Depreciation on factory building= 70,000
Total unitary varaible cost:
Total cost= 800,000 + 250,000 + 250,000= $1,300,000
Unitary cost per hour= 1,300,000 / 50,000= $26
Now, the total cost for 60,000 hours:
Total cost= 26*60,000 + 70,000
Total cost= $1,630,000
Joel is the sole shareholder of Manatee Corporation, a C corporation. Because Manatee’s sales have increased significantly over the last several years, Joel has determined that the corporation needs a new distribution warehouse. Joel has asked your advice as to whether (1) Manatee should purchase the warehouse or (2) he should purchase the warehouse and lease it to Manatee. What relevant tax issues will you discuss with Joel?
Answer:
If Joel purchases the warehouse, he can rent it to the corporation and charge the highest possible rent within reasonable terms. Joel can avoid double taxation and the corporation will be able to deduct rent expense.
Joel is also able to deduct depreciation expenses, real estate taxes, and other costs from his passive income.
As an individual, Joel is taxed differently for capital gains in case he sells the warehouse, and that rate is generally lower than corporate tax rates.
Question 4
Write a short essay about Controlling Inventory".
Explanation:
The necessity of inventory control is to maintain a reserve (store) of goods that will ensure manufacturing according to the production plan based on sales requirements and the lowest possible ultimate cost.
Losses from improper inventory control include purchases in excess than what needed, the cost of slowed up production resulting from material not being available when wanted. Each time a machine is shut down for lack of materials or each time sale is postponed or cancelled for lack of finished goods. Thus a factory loses money.
To promote smooth factory operation and to prevent piling up of stock or idle machine time proper quantity of material must be on hand when it is wanted. Proper inventory control can reduce such losses to a great extent.
Think of a business concept that would be appropriate for each of the following:
1) a sole proprietorship
2) a corporation
3) a limited liability company
In your answer address the pros and cons of the business type (sole proprietorship, Corporation, LLC) and why you the believe the business concept you choose best suits that business type. You must list at least 3 pros and 3 cons for each business type.
Answer:
Sole Proprietorship: The business concept that would be suitable for this type of business would be a roadside Fruit Juice Processing business. This involves different blends of organic fruits being blended into one smooth syrup sometimes called a smoothie.This type of business is better registered under a Sole Proprietorship because, it is almost always carried out by those who are self-employed.
Pros:
It is easy to set up and has low operational and corporate costIt enjoys zero corporate business taxesthey are not required to submit annual filingsCons:
The liability is unlimited and unrestricted. This means if there is litigation against the business, the business owner if found culpable will have to defray all amounts due even with his or her personal assets if the business is unable to meet that obligationThis type of business structure will find it difficult to raise money due to the potential liability exposure Also the sole proprietor may be unable to take on business debt
2. A Limited Liability Corporation: The business concept that would be suitable for this type of entity is a Fast Food Franchise like Tastee Fried Chicken. This sort of business will involve processing chicken and other kinds of foods into wholesome dishes.
After-Tax Profit Targets Olivian Company wants to earn $300,000 in net (after-tax) income next year. Its product is priced at $300 per unit. Product costs include: Direct materials $90.00 Direct labor $66.00 Variable overhead $15.00 Total fixed factory overhead $405,000 Variable selling expense is $12 per unit; fixed selling and administrative expense totals $255,000. Olivian has a tax rate of 40 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the before-tax profit needed to achieve an after-tax target of $300,000. $fill in the blank 9853e801101c04e_1 2. Calculate the number of units that will yield operating income calculated in Requirement 1 above. If required, round your answer to the nearest whole unit. fill in the blank 9853e801101c04e_2 units Feedback
Answer:
1. Before-tax profit = $500,000
2. Number of units that will yield the operating income = 9,915 units
Explanation:
1. Calculate the before-tax profit needed to achieve an after-tax target of $300,000.
This can be calculated as follows:
After-tax target = Before-tax profit * (100% - Tax rate) ……………….. (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for Before-tax profit, we have:
$300,000 = Before-tax profit * (100% - 40%)
$300,000 = Before-tax profit * 60%
Before-tax profit = $300,000 / 60%
Before-tax profit = $500,000
2. Calculate the number of units that will yield operating income calculated in Requirement 1 above. If required, round your answer to the nearest whole unit.
This can be calculated as follows:
Contribution margin = Selling price per unit - Direct materials per unit - Direct labor per unit - Variable overhead per unit - Variable selling expense per unit = $300 - $90 - $66 - $15 - $12 = $117
Before-tax profit = (Contribution margin * Number of units that will yield the operating income) - Total fixed factory overhead - Fixed selling and administrative expense ………………. (2)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (2) and solve for Number of units that will yield the operating income, we have:
$500,000 = ($117 * Number of units that will yield the operating income) - $405,000 - $255,000
$500,000 + $405,000 + $255,000 = $117 * Number of units that will yield the operating income
$1,160,000 = $117 * Number of units that will yield the operating income
Number of units that will yield the operating income = $1,160,000 / $117 = 9,914.52991452991
Rounding to the nearest whole unit, we have:
Number of units that will yield the operating income = 9,915 units

Do It! Review 11-3a Skysong, Inc. has 2,600 shares of 7%, $130 par value preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2019, the company declared a $132,000 cash dividend. Determine the dividend paid to preferred stockholders and common stockholders under each of the following scenarios.
Answer:
1. We have:
Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = $23,660
Dividend paid to common stockholders = $108,340
2. We have:
Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = $23,660
Dividend paid to common stockholders = $108,340
3. We have:
Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = $70,980
Dividend paid to common stockholders = $61,020
Explanation:
1. The preferred stock is noncumulative, and the company has not missed any dividends in previous years.
Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = Number of preferred stock outstanding * Preferred stock par value * Preferred stock = 2,600 * $130 * 7% = $23,660
Dividend paid to common stockholders = Dividend declared - Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = $132,000 - $23,660 = $108,340
2. The preferred stock is noncumulative, and the company did not pay a dividend in each of the two previous years.
Since the preferred stock is noncumulative, the answers are the as in part 1 as follows:
Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = Number of preferred stock outstanding * Preferred stock par value * Preferred stock = 2,600 * $130 * 7% = $23,660
Dividend paid to common stockholders = Dividend declared - Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = $132,000 - $23,660 = $108,340
3. The preferred stock is cumulative, and the company did not pay a dividend in each of the two previous years.
Since the preferred stock is cumulative, this means that the accrued fixed dividends for the two previous years have to be paid together with the current year’s dividend making 3 fixed dividends as follows:
Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = (Number of preferred stock outstanding * Preferred stock par value * Preferred stock) * 3 = (2,600 * $130 * 7%) * 3 = $70,980
Dividend paid to common stockholders = Dividend declared - Dividend paid to preferred stockholders = $132,000 - $70,980 = $61,020

The U.S. has expected inflation of 2%, while Country A, Country B, and Country C have expected inflation of 7%. Country A engages in much international trade with the U.S. The products that are traded between Country A and the U.S. can easily be produced by either country. Country B engages in much international trade with the U.S. The products that are traded between Country B and the U.S. are important health products, and there are not substitutes for these products that are exported from the U.S. to Country B or from Country B to the U.S. Country C engages in much international financial flows with the U.S. but very little trade. If you were to use purchasing power parity (PPP) to predict the future exchange rate over the next year for the local currency of each country against the dollar, PPP would provide the most accurate forecast for the currency of: _________
Answer:
If you were to use purchasing power parity (PPP) to predict the future exchange rate over the next year for the local currency of each country against the dollar, PPP would provide the most accurate forecast for the currency of: _________
Country A.
Explanation:
The U.S. and Country A have Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) if an exchange rate can be determined between these two countries' currencies when their purchasing power is in equilibrium. This parity can only be established by comparing a basket of goods in the two countries. This basket of goods is not possible to compare with Country B or Country C that has no similar goods with the U.S.

Current Ratio B. Gross Profit Percentage C. Debt Ratio D. Debt to Equity Ratio
Answer:
A. Current Ratio = 5.87
B. Gross Profit Percentage = 49.33%
C. Debt Ratio = 0.31
D. Debt to Equity Ratio = 0.46
Explanation:
The ratios can be calculated for 2021 as follows:
A. Current Ratio
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities ………………… (1)
Where:
Current assets = Current assets in 2021 = Cash in 2021 + Accounts Receivable in 2021 + Inventory in 2021 + Prepaid expenses in 2021 = $72,600 + $47,600 + 54,800 + $5,200 = $180,200
Current liabilities = Current liabilities in 2021 = Accounts Payable in 2021 + accrued Liabilities in 2021 = $25,700 + $5,000 = $30,700
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Current ratio = 180,200 / 30,700 = 5.87
B. Gross Profit Percentage
Gross Profit Percentage = (Gross profit / Sales) * 100 ………………….. (2)
Where:
Gross profit = Sales – Cost of goods sold = $480,000 - $243,200 = $236,800
Sales = $480,000
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Gross Profit Percentage = ($236,800 / $480,000) * 100 = 49.33%
C. Debt Ratio
Debt ratio = Total debts / Total assets …………………………….. (3)
Where:
Total debts = Total liabilities in 2021 = $70,700
Total assets = total assets in 2021 = $224,700
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
Debt ratio = $70,700 / $224,700 = 0.31
D. Debt to Equity Ratio
Debt to Equity Ratio = Total debts / Total equity …………………………….. (4)
Total debts = Total liabilities in 2021 = $70,700
Total equity = total equity in 2021 = $154,000
Substituting the values into equation (4), we have:
Debt to Equity Ratio = $70,700 / $154,000 = 0.46
UML Foods reported $940 million in income before income taxes for 2020, its first year of operations. Tax depreciation exceeded depreciation for financial reporting purposes by $120 million. The company also had non-tax-deductible expenses of $80 million relating to permanent differences. The income tax rate for 2020 was 35%, but the enacted rate for years after 2020 is 30%. The balance in the deferred tax liability in the December 31, 2020, balance sheet is:
Answer:
$36,000,000
Explanation:
Note: Permanent differences have no impact on deferred taxes.
Deferred tax liability = $120 million * 30%
Deferred tax liability = $120 million * 0.30
Deferred tax liability = $36,000,000
So, the balance in the deferred tax liability in the December 31, 2020, balance sheet is $36,000,000.
Why don't most tax expenditures help much if your federal tax bill is zero? You don't qualify for tax breaks if your federal tax bill is zero. Taxes are an automatic stabilizer. Most tax expenditures are specifically for high-income people. Most tax breaks reduce taxable income, but reducing taxable income below zero does not reduce the tax bill.
Answer: Most tax breaks reduce taxable income, but reducing taxable income below zero does not reduce the tax bill.
Explanation:
Tax breaks can be used to reduce your taxable income sometimes all the way to zero. This however simply means that you don't have to pay income tax but does not mean that there won't be other taxes to pay.
Because of these additional taxes left to pay, a person will still pay certain taxes even if their taxable income is below zero. Tax expenditures therefore do not help much with a federal tax bill of zero.
Take a Load Off Hotels is considering the construction of a new hotel for $22,400,000. The expected life of the hotel is 8 years with no residual value. The hotel is expected to earn revenues of $16,688,000 per year. Total expenses, including straight-line depreciation, are expected to be $14,000,000 per year. Take a Load Off's management has set a minimum acceptable rate of return of 12%. Assume straight-line depreciation.

b. Calculate the net present value of the new hotel using the present value of an annuity of $1 table above.
c. Does your analysis support the purchase of the new hotel?
Answer:
a. Net cash flows
Depreciation has to be added back to income because it is a non-cash expense.
Depreciation = (Cost - Residual value)/ Useful life
= 22,400,000 / 8
= $2,800,000
Net cash flows = Revenue - Expenses + Depreciation
= 16,688,000 - 14,000,000 + 2,800,000
= $5,488,000
b. Net Present Value
= Present value of cash inflows - Construction cost
= (Net cash flows * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8 years, 12%) - 22,400,000
= (5,488,000 * 4.96764) - 22,400,000
= $4,862,408.32
c. Analysis SUPPORTS PURCHASE of hotel because it results in a positive Net Present Value.
Tony has been sent to sales training and the final examination requires delivering an effective sales presentation. If he passes this examination, he will be placed into a sales job. If he does not pass, he will be let go from the company. In assessing Tony’s performance, the trainer remarks that although his talk was solid as far as content, he did not pass. The trainer fails to mention that the talk lacked several elements of excellence. Tony’s presentation graphics were inconsistent, he mumbled, and he failed to answer any of the follow-up questions. Tony throws the evaluation at the trainer, shouting, "Whatever, dude!" and slams the door on the way out. The trainer’s failure to discuss these aspects of Tony’s presentation performance demonstrated a lack of attention to which form of fairness or justice?
Answer: interactional
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the trainer’s failure to discuss these aspects of Tony’s presentation performance demonstrated a lack of attention to the interactional justice.
Interactional Justice involves the communication of the procedures that are used in judging the performance of a person. It focuses on the treatment that individuals get when there are implementation of certain procedures. This standard is utilized by the employees at work.
In this scenario, the trainer failed to interact with Tony as he didn't explain his flaws to him and didn't tell him the reason that he wasn't chosen. Thereby, the trainer didn't pay attention to interactional fairness.

Microbiotics currently sells all of its frozen dinners cash-on-delivery but believes it can increase sales by offering supermarkets 1 month of free credit. The price per carton is $100, and the cost per carton is $65. The unit sales will increase from 1,050 cartons to 1,110 per month if credit is granted. Assume all customers pay their bills and take full advantage of any credit period offered.
a. If the interest rate is 1% per month what will be the change in the firm's total monthly profits on a present value basis if credit is offered to all customers?
b. If the interest rate is 1.5% per month v/hat will be the change in the firm's total monthly profits on a present value basis if credit is offered to all customers?
c. Assume the interest rate is 1 5% per month but the firm can offer the credit only as a special deal to new customers, while existing customers will continue to pay cash on delivery. What will be the change in the firm's total monthly profits on a present value basis under these conditions?
Answer:
Following are the responses to the given question:
Explanation:
[tex]\text{Present value of profit} = ( Revenue - cost ) \times Unit\ sold[/tex]
[tex]= (\$100 - \$65 ) \times 1,050\\\\= (\$35 ) \times 1,050\\\\= \$36,750[/tex]
For point a:
[tex]\text{PV of profits} = PV(REV -COST) \times Units \ sold[/tex]
[tex]= (\frac{\$100}{ (1 + .01)} - \$65) \times 1,110\\\\= (\frac{\$100}{ (1 .01)} - \$65) \times 1,110\\\\= (99.0 -65) \times 1,110\\\\= 34\times 1,110\\\\= \$37,740\\[/tex]
Changes in monthly profits:
[tex]= \$37,740 - \$36,570 = \$1,170[/tex]
At 1%, the credit offer raises the company's earnings for one month.
For point b:
[tex]\text{PV of profits} = PV(REV -COST) \times Units \ sold[/tex]
[tex]=(\frac{\$100}{(1 + .015)} -\$65) \times 1,110\\\\=(\frac{\$100}{(1.015)} -\$65) \times 1,110\\\\=33.52\times 1,110\\\\= 37,207.2[/tex]
Changes in monthly profits:
[tex]= \$37,207.2- \$36,570 = $637.2.[/tex]
At 1.5%, the loan offering raises the company's earnings for one month.
For point c:
[tex]\text{PV of profits} = PV(REV -COST) \times Units \ sold[/tex]
[tex]= (\$100 - \$65 ) \times 60\\\\ = \$2,100[/tex]
[tex]\text{PV of profits} = PV(REV -COST) \times Units \ sold[/tex]
[tex]= (\frac{\$100}{(1 + .015)} - \$65) \times 60\\\\= (\frac{\$100}{(1.015)} - \$65) \times 60\\\\=33.52 \times 60\\\\= 2011.2[/tex]
Changes in monthly profits:

27. If your company purchases land and a building for $100,000, and it intends to tear down the existing building to allow construction of a new warehouse, the purchase price should be allocated to the following accounts: A) $100,000 to the Construction Expense account B) $100,000 to the Land account and $0 to the Building account C) Prorated to the Land account and Building account based on the appraised values of each. D) $100,000 to the Building account and $0 to the Land account
Answer:
The correct option is B) $100,000 to the Land account and $0 to the Building account.
Explanation:
Originally, the $100,000 paid is for both land and a buildling. There would have been a need to prorate the $100,000 to the Land account and Building account based on the appraised values of each if the existing building was not tore down.
However, since the existing building was tore sown, that indicates the building was of no use to the company and only land is useful. This indicates that the $100,000 is paid for the land alone.
Therefore, the correct option is B) $100,000 to the Land account and $0 to the Building account.
A portfolio manager buys $1 million of U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 90 days at a price of $990,390 and discount rate of 3.8%. The portfolio also includes the following investments: Bank commercial paper maturing in 90 days with a bond equivalent yield of 4.34% and a market value of $100,000. Bank certificates of deposit maturing in six months with a bond equivalent yield of 4.84% and a market value of $200,000. The bond-equivalent yield of a comparable benchmark portfolio is 4.0%. Including the Treasury bill purchase, the manager's portfolio is:
Answer:
A. Outperforming the benchmark
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the manager's portfolio
First step is to calculate the Treasury bill, bond-equivalent yield for U.S.
Using this formula
Treasury bill
=(Face value − Market value) / Market value × 365 / 90
Let plug in the formula
Treasury bill= ($1,000,000 − 990,390) / 990,390 × 365 / 90
Treasury bill=0.0097 × 0.04056
Treasury bill= 3.93%.
Second step is to calculate The total market value of the portfolio
Total market value portfolio=$990,390 + $100,000 + $200,000
Total market value portfolio= $1,290,390
Now let calculate the manager's portfolio
Manager's portfolio=3.93% ($990,390 / $1,290,390) + 4.34% ($100,000 / $1,290,390) + 4.84% ($200,000 / $1,290,390)
Manager's portfolio=3.93%(76.75%)+4.34%(7.75%)+4.84%(15.50%)
Manager's portfolio=0.0410*100
Manager's portfolio= 4.10%
Therefore Based on the above calculation the manager's portfolio is 4.10% OUTPERFORMING THE BENCHMARK because the manager's portfolio of 4.10% is higher than bond-equivalent yield benchmark portfolio of 4.0%.

Janes, Inc., is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $410,000 and would last for 5 years, at the end of which, the machine would have a salvage value of $41,000. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $101,000 per year. Additional working capital of $3,000 would be needed immediately, all of which would be recovered at the end of 5 years. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 13% on all investment projects.
Required:
Determine the net present value of the project. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Answer:
- $33,678.21
Explanation:
Cash flow Summary of the Project will be as follows
Year 0 = $410,000 + $3,000 = - $413,000
Year 1 = $101,000
Year 2 = $101,000
Year 3 = $101,000
Year 4 = $101,000
Year 5 = $101,000 + $41,000 + 3,000 = $145,000
So the Net Present Value can now be calculated using the CFj function of a Financial calculator as follows :
- $413,000 CF 0
$101,000 CF 1
$101,000 CF 2
$101,000 CF 3
$101,000 CF 4
$145,000 CF 5

Second-degree price discrimination: Multiple Choice results in transfer pricing. None of the answers are correct. is the practice of posting a discrete schedule of declining prices for different ranges of quantities. eliminates the problem of double marginalization.
Answer:
is the practice of posting a discrete schedule of declining prices for different ranges of quantities
Explanation:
In the case of the second degree price discrimination, the firm should chares the different kinds of the prices as per the quantity demanded i.e. if the large quantities are ordered so it should be charged at the less price and if the small quantities are ordered so it should be charged at the high prices. The motive behind this is to motivate the bulk sales that means when the buyer purchased the products in bulk so he will get the high discounts
Therefore the third option is correct

Calculate the cost of equity after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Calculate the overall cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Calculate the price-earnings ratio after the refinancing. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Calculate the stock price after the refinancing.
Calculate the stock’s beta after the refinancing. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
a. Cost of equity after the refinancing = 22.31%
b. Cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing = 12.66%
c. Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing = 4.48
d. Stock price after the refinancing = $51.99
e. Stock’s beta after the refinancing = 2.52
Explanation:
Given:
Beta = 0.70
PE ratio = Price-earnings ratio = 7.90
Ke = Cost of equity = 12.66%
MPS = Market price per share = $52
Debt rate = 3%
Let assume that the company’s total number of shares outstanding is 1,000. Therefore, we have:
Equity market value = MPS * Number of shares = $52 * 1,000 = $52,000
By repurchasing half shares and substituting an equal value of debt, we have:
Debt = Equity market value / 2 = $52,000 / 2 = $26,000
Interest on debt = Debt * Debt rate = $26,000 * 3% = $780
Old EPS = MPS / PE ratio = $52 / 7.90 = $6.58 per share
Net income = Old EPS * Number of shares = $6.58 * 1,000 = $6,580
Earnings available to shareholders = Net income – Interest on debt = $6,580 – 780 = $5,800
New number of shares = 500
New EPS = Earnings available to shareholders / New number of shares = $5,800 / 500 = $11.60 per share
Therefore, we have:
a. Calculate the cost of equity after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of equity after the refinancing = New EPS / MPS = $11.60 / $52 = 0.2231, or 22.31%
b. Calculate the overall cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing = (Weight of debt * Cost of debt) + (Weight of equity * New cost of equity) = (50% * 3%) + (50% * 22.31%) = 12.66%
c. Calculate the price-earnings ratio after the refinancing. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing = 1 / Cost of equity after the refinancing = 1 / 22.31% = 4.48
d. Calculate the stock price after the refinancing.
Stock price after the refinancing = Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing * New EPS = $11.60 * 4.48 = $51.99
e. Calculate the stock’s beta after the refinancing. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Stock’s beta after the refinancing = (Cost of equity after the refinancing – Cost of debt) / (WACC – Cost of debt) = (0.2231 - 0.03) / (0.1266 - 0.05) = 2.52
