Answer:
A variance is favorable when the actual costs or actual quantity were lower than estimated.
Explanation:
We weren't provided with enough information to calculate each variance. I will provide with the formulas.
Variable manufacturing overhead rate (cost) variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate
Fixed overhead spending variance= (actual fixed overhead costs - allocated fixed overhead)
Manufacturing overhead volume variance= (Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*budgeted allocation base) - (Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base)
A variance is favorable when the actual costs or actual quantity were lower than estimated.

Each month a bank adjusts the initial interest rate it offers to customers who wish to open a new high-yield savings account. The bank wants to determine if there is a relationship between the initial interest rate and the average daily number of new savings accounts. The bank plans to use the interest to predict the average number of new savings accounts opened in a month. Which one of the following statements is correct?
A. Both the interest rate and the average daily number of new accounts are explanatory variables.
B. Both the interest rate and the average daily number of new accounts are response variables.
C. Average daily number of new a variable.
D. Interest rate is the explanatory variable 1/0 Scatterplot of Ave.
Answer:
The correct answer is D
Explanation:
The initial interest rate is being manipulated by the researcher (that is the bank). Hence is the predictor or explanatory variable. It can also be called the independent variable.
Any variable can take on the quality of an independent variable. It all depends on the role it is playing in the research.

Porter Plumbing's stock had a required return of 11.75% last year, when the risk-free rate was 5.50% and the market risk premium was 4.75%. Then an increase in investor risk aversion caused the market risk premium to rise by 2%. The risk-free rate and the firm's beta remain unchanged. What is the company's new required rate of return
Answer:
New required rate of return = 11.88%
Explanation:
The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Ke- required rate of return, Rf-risk-free rate (treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.
Using the model, we work out Beta which is not given and then re-calculate the required rate of return of the new stock
Ke- 11.75 % Rf- 5.5, Rm-Rf = 4.75%, β= ?
11.75% = 5.50% + β(4.75%)
11.75% -5.50% = β(4.75%)
(11.75-5.50)/4.75= β
1.315789474 = β
1.315 = β
New required rate of return
5.50% + 1.315(1.02×4.75)
11.875
New required rate of return = 11.88%
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Required rate of return, (Re) = 11.75%
Risk-free rate (Rf) = 5.50%
Market risk premium (Rm - Rf) = 4.75
Let's calculate beta (b) first, by using below formula.
Re = Rf + b (Rm - Rf)
11.75 = 5.50 + b ( 4.75)
By solving, we get beta (b) = 1.3157 = 1.32
Now, market risk premium is increased by 2%.
So, new market risk premium (Rm - Rf) = 6.75%. Beta and Rf values are same.
New Required rate of return (Re) = 5.50 + 1.32 * 6.75
By solving, we get Re = 14.41 %

Suppose that your state raises its sales tax from 5 percent to 6 percent. The state revenue commissioner forecasts a 20 percent increase in sales tax revenue. Which of the following are plausible as a result of this increase in the sales tax. Is this plausible? Explain.
Answer: No it's not plausible.
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Suppose that your state raises its sales tax from 5 percent to 6 percent. The state revenue commissioner forecasts a 20 percent increase in sales tax revenue. Is this plausible? Explain.
From the question, we are told that the state increases its sales tax from 5 percent to 6 percent and the state revenue commissioner predicted that a 20 percent increase in the sales tax revenue due to the increase in sales tax.
This is not plausible, when the sales tax increases from from 5 percent to 6 percent, this will lead to an increase in the prices of the goods. According to the law of demand, the higher the price of goods and services, the lower will be the demand for the good. So, in this case, due to the increase in sales tax, it may prompt the consumers to reduce their spending.
Therefore, a 20 percent increase in the sales tax revenue is not plausible. Even if there will be an increase in the sales tax revenue, it won't be up to 20 percent.
Todd Mountain Development Corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $3 in the upcoming year. Dividends are expected to grow at the rate of 10% per year. The risk-free rate of return is 8%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 18%. The stock of Todd Mountain Development Corporation has a beta of 0.60. Using the constant-growth DDM, the intrinsic value of the stock is _________.
Answer:
$75
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Ke = risk free rate of return + beta×(market portfolio - risk free rate of return)
= 8% + 0.60 × (18% - 8%)
= 8% + 6%
= 14%
= 0.14
Now using the constant-growth DDM model :
Intrinsic value of the stock = Dividend ÷ (Ke - expected growing rate)
= $3 ÷ (0.14-0.10)
= $75
Hence, Intrinsic value of the stock is $75.

Seventy-Two Inc., a developer of radiology equipment, has stock outstanding as follows: 60,000 shares of cumulative preferred 2% stock, $60 par and 300,000 shares of $20 par common. During its first four years of operations, the following amounts were distributed as dividends: first year, $51,000; second year, $105,000; third year, $81,000; fourth year, $120,000. Determine the dividends per share on each class of stock for each of the four years. Round your answers to two decimal places. If no dividends are paid in a given year, enter "0".
Answer:
Year 1: Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $51,000; Dividend paid to common stock = 0.
Year 2: Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $93,000; Dividend paid to common stock = $12,000.
Year 3: Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $72,000; Dividend paid common stock = $9,000.
Year 4: Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $72,000; Dividend paid common stock = $48,000.
Explanation:
Year 1
Dividend distributed = $51,000
Cumulative preferred stock dividend payable = 60,000 * $60 * 2% = $72,000
Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $51,000
Carried forward cumulative preferred stock dividend = $72,000 - $51,000 = $21,000
Dividend paid to common stock = 0
Year 2
Dividend distributed = $105,000
Year 2 cumulative preferred stock dividend due = 60,000 * $60 * 2% = $72,000
Cumulative preferred stock dividend payable = Due in year 2 + Carried down from year 1 = $72,000 + $21,000 = $93,000
Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $93,000
Dividend paid to common stock = $105,000 - $93,000 = $12,000
Year 3
Dividend distributed = $81,000
Cumulative preferred stock dividend payable = 60,000 * $60 * 2% = $72,000
Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $72,000
Dividend paid common stock = $81,000 - $72,000 = $9,000
Year 4
Dividend distributed = $120,000
Cumulative preferred stock dividend payable = 60,000 * $60 * 2% = $72,000
Dividend paid to cumulative preferred stock = $72,000
Dividend paid common stock = $120,000 - $72,000 = $48,000

Samson Manufacturing Company, a calendar-year company, purchased a machine for $65,000 on January 1, 20X0. At the date of purchase, Samson incurred the following additional costs:
Loss on sale of old machinery $1,000
Freight-in 500
Installation cost 2,000
Testing costs prior to regular operation 300
The machine’s estimated salvage value was $5,000, and Samson estimated it would have a useful life of 20 years with depreciation being computed on the straight-line method. In January 20X2, accessories costing $3,600 were added to the machine to reduce its operating costs. These accessories neither prolonged the machine’s life nor provided any additional salvage value.
Required:
What should Samson record as depreciation expense for 2011?
Answer:
Samson record as depreciation expense for 2011 an amount of $3,340
Explanation:
In order to calculate What should Samson record as depreciation expense for 2011 we would have to calculate first the cost to capitalize as follows:
Cost to capitalize=purchase price+freight+installation+testing
=$65,000+$500+$2,000+$3,000
=$67,800
Depreciation expense for 2010=cost of machinery-residual value/life of machinery
Depreciation expense for 2010=$67,800-$5,000/20
Depreciation expense for 2010=$3,140
Hence, Book value=cost of machinery-(cost of machinery-residual value)/life of machinery))*period of asset used
=$67,800-($62,800-$5,000)/20))*2
=$61,250
Therefore, depreciation expense for 2011=$61,250+$3,600-$5,000/18
depreciation expense for 2011=$3,340

A small neighborhood comprised of 10 homes has a problem with break-ins and find the local police to be effective. They are considering hiring private security. Each household can calculate their marginal benefit of having a private security guard by the formula MB=100/(1+S) where S is the number of hours of security patrol provided per week.
If private security is a public good and the cost is $20 per hour, what is the efficient level of security? Do you expect this to be the equilibrium outcome?
Answer:
The efficient level of security is 4 hours of security.
The equilibrium may not be sustainable.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the efficient level of security we would Set MB=MC i.e. guard's wage for net benefit maximization.
Hence, 100/(1+S)=20
20*(1+S)=10
1+S=5
S=4
Therefore, 4 hours of security is needed . The efficient level of security is 4 hours of security.
In the followig case Security guards is public good in this case, Public good is non-excludable and non-rivalrous. People cannot be stopped from using it without paying for it. Payment for security guard is voluntary. So, equilibrium may not be sustainable.
Your enterprising uncle opens a sandwich shop that employs 15 people. The employees are paid $20 per hour, and a sandwich sells for $5. If your uncle is maximizing his profit, the value of the marginal product of the last worker he hired is______ $ , and that worker's marginal product is sandwiches per hour.
Answer:
The value of the marginal product of the last worker hired is $20
The marginal product of the last worker hired is 4 sandwiches per hour
Please kindly note the difference between the terms, value of marginal product and the term marginal product
Explanation:
Since the uncle is trying to maximize profit, then he will hire workers up to a point where the wages of the workers equals their marginal product value
Now, from the question, the value of the wages is $20 per hour, this also means that their marginal product too will be $20 per hour
This automatically means that the value of the marginal product of the last worker hired is also $20
Mathematically;
Value of marginal product = Marginal product * price
Thus, marginal product = value of marginal product/ price
= $20/$5 = 4
This means that the new worker hired marginal product is 4 sandwiches per hour
As a company produces more units within the relevant range, the difference between total variable cost and total fixed cost is:___________. A) Total variable cost and total fixed cost bother remain constant B) Total variable cost and total fixed cost both change C) Total variable cost changes and total fixed cost remains constant D) Total variable cost remains constant and total fixed cost changes
Answer:
C.Total variable cost changes and total fixed cost remains constant
Explanation:
The difference between both the total variable cost and total fixed cost is that then total variable cost changes and the total fixed cost remains constant because variable cost changes reason been that it is not constant which means that it is movable while fixed cost remains constant and tend to remain fixed in which case means that it is not movable. Example of fixed cost is Land because land cannot be moved from one location to another location.
Prepare Job-Order Cost Sheets, Predetermined Overhead Rate, Ending Balance of WIP, Finished Goods, and COGS At the beginning of March, Mendez Company had two jobs in process, Job 86 and Job 87, with the following accumulated cost information: Job 86 Job 87 Direct materials $4,800 $1,600 Direct labor 1,200 3,000 Applied overhead 888 2,220 Balance, March 1 $6,888 $6,820 During March, two more jobs (88 and 89) were started. The following direct materials and direct labor costs were added to the four jobs during the month of March: Job 86 Job 87 Job 88 Job 89 Direct materials $3,000 $7,000 $2,100 $1,500 Direct labor 800 6,000 900 500 At the end of March, Jobs 86, 87, and 89 were completed. Only Job 87 was sold. On March 1, the balance in Finished Goods was zero.
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of overhead rate based on direct labor cost is shown below:-
Overhead rate = Overhead applied × 100 ÷ Direct labor cost
= 888 × 100 ÷ 1,200
= 74%
2. The Preparation of job-order cost sheet for the four jobs is shown below:
Particulars Job 86 Job 87 Job 88 Job 89

Direct materials $3,000 $7,000 $2,100 $1,500
Direct labor $800 $6,000 $900 $500
Applied overhead
is 74% of direct labor $592 $4,440 $666 $370
Total $11,280 $24,260 $3,666 $2,370
3. The computation of ending balances of Work in Process and Finished Goods is shown below:-
Work in process of Job 88 = $3,666
Finished goods = Total of Job 86 + Total of Job 89
= $11,280 + $2,370
= $13,650
4. The computation of the Cost of Goods Sold for March is shown below:-

Private solutions to correct for externalities consider the following scenario:________.
Suppose that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes released by its chickens. These wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become thick with algae and polluted due to the minerals in the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization collects enough donations to stop the farm's pollution.
Which of the following types of private solutions to the externality of pollution has occurred in this case?
A. Integration of different types of businesses
B. Contracts
C. Moral codes and social sanctions
D. Charities
It's important to note that sometimes private solutions to externalities do not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that __________
Answer: Charities; coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes that is released by its chickens and that the wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become polluted due to the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization then collects enough donations in order to stop the farm's pollution.
The type types of private solutions to the pollution externality which has occured is charity. This is because it is a voluntary activity. The money collected is meant for a specific objective which is to tackle the issue of pollution.
It is also vital to note that sometimes the private solutions to externalities might not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly.
An investor must decide between putting $2,000 into a regular retirement plan or putting $1,440 into a Roth retirement plan. If the investor's tax rate is 28% now and in retirement, and she expects to earn 12% per year over the next 20 years, which will produce more cash in the end?
Answer:
They both produced the same cash amount
Explanation:
The regular retirement would have its deducted after withdrawal from the plan while Roth retirement plan's tax would have been deducted prior to investing funds in the plan
The future value of the $2000 is computed thus:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
PV is the amount saved in the plan which is $2000
r is the growth rate of the funds in the plan which is 12%
n is the number of years the amount would be left in the plan
FV=$2000*(1+12%)^20=$ 19,292.59
After tax amount=$ 19,292.59*(1-28%)=$ 13,890.66
The future value of the $1,440 is computed thus:
FV=$1,440*(1+12%)^20=$ 13,890.66
The Roth plan has not tax implication thereafter as tax was paid before savings.
