On April 30, the end of the first month of operations, Joplin Company prepared the following income statement, based on the absorption costing concept: Joplin Company Absorption Costing Income Statement For the Month Ended April 30 Sales (5,600 units) $145,600 Cost of goods sold: Cost of goods manufactured (6,400 units) $115,200 Inventory, April 30 (900 units) (16,200) Total cost of goods sold (99,000) Gross profit $46,600 Selling and administrative expenses (24,740) Operating income $21,860 If the fixed manufacturing costs were $23,040 and the fixed selling and administrative expenses were $12,120, prepare an income statement according to the variable costing concept. Round all final answers to whole dollars.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Preparation of variable costing income statement
Sales $145,600
Variable cost of goods sold
$92,160
Less:
Inventory, April 30
($12,960)
Total variable cost of goods sold
$79,200
Manufacturing margin
$66,400
Variable selling and administrative expenses ($12,620)
Contribution margin $66,580
Less:
Fixed costs $23,040
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $12,120
Total fixed costs ($35,160)
Income from operations $31,420
Workings
•Variable cost of goods manufactured
= Total manufacturing cost - Fixed manufacturing cost
= $115,200 - $23,040
= $92,160
• Inventory at April 30
Calculate first, manufacturing cost per unit
= Variable cost of goods manufactured / Units manufactured
= $92,160/6,400 units
= $14.4
Therefore, Inventory at April 30
= $14.4 × 900 units
= $12,960
• Variable selling and administrative cost = Total selling and administrative cost - Fixed selling and administrative costs
= $24,740 - $12,120
= $12,620
Georgia Movie Company has a capital structure with 50.00% debt and 50.00% equity. The cost of debt for the firm is 9.00%, while the cost of equity is 15.00%. The tax rate facing the firm is 36.00%. The firm is considering opening a new theater chain in a local college town. The project is expected to cost $12.00 million to initiate in year 0. Georgia Movie expects cash flows in the first year to be $3.10 million, and it also expects cash flows from the movie operation to increase by 4.00% each year going forward. The company wants to examine the project over a 13.00-year period. What is the WACC for this project
Answer:
10.38%
Explanation:
The computation of the WACC is given below:
WACC = Weight of debt × After tax Cost of debt + Weight of Equity × Cost of Equity
Here After tax cost of debt is
= Cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)
= 9% × (1 - 36%)
= 5.76%
Now
WACC = 50% × 5.76% + 50% × 15%
= 10.38%
A company wants to set up operations in a country with the following corporate tax rate structure: Taxable Income Tax Rate <$50,000 15% $50,000 - $75,000 25% $75,000 - $100,000 34% >$100,000 39% Therefore, a taxable income of $60,000 would result in taxes due of $50,000*0.15 + ($60,000-$50,000)*0.25 = $50,000*0.15 + $10,000*0.25 = $10,000 If the compay expects gross revenues of $300,000, $150,000 in total costs, $20,000 in allowable tax deductions and $6,000 in a one-time business start-up credit, how much should the company expect to pay in taxes?
Answer:
$183,950
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Total taxable income is
= $300,000 - $150,000 - $20,000
= $130,000
Now tax is
= 15% of $50,000 + 25% of ($75,000 - $50,000) + 34% of ($100,000 - $75,000) + 39% of ($530,000 - $100,000)
= 0.15 of $50,000 + 0.25 of $25,000 + 0.34 of $25,000 + 0.39 of $430,000
= $189,950
Now Tax owed is
= $189,950 - $6,000
= $183,950
Tangen Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $380,000 and would last for 6 years. At the end of 6 years, the machine would have a salvage value of $80,000. By reducing labor and other operating costs, the machine would provide annual cost savings of $104,000. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 14% on all investment projects. The net present value of the proposed project is closest to:
Answer: $60,872
Explanation:
First calculate the present value of the cash benefits of this investment:
= Present value of cost savings + present value of salvage value
= (104,000 * Present value interest factor of Annuity,6 years, 14%) + [80,000 / (1 + 14%)⁶]
= (104,000 * 3.8887) + 36,446.92381
= $440,872
Net Present value = Present value of cash benefits - Investment cost
= 440,872 - 380,000
= $60,872

an Corporation of Japan has two regional divisions with headquarters in Osaka and Yokohama. Selected data on the two divisions follow: Division Osaka Yokohama Sales $ 9,100,000 $ 21,000,000 Net operating income $ 455,000 $ 1,470,000 Average operating assets $ 2,275,000 $ 10,500,000 Required: 1. For each division, compute the return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Assume that the company evaluates performance using residual income and that the minimum required rate of return for any division is 12%. Compute the residual income for each division.
Answer:
Part 1 - ROI
In terms of Margin :
Division Osaka = 20 %
Division Yokohama = 14 %
In terms of Turnover :
Division Osaka = 400 %
Division Yokohama = 200 %
Part 2 - Residual Income
Division Osaka = $182,000
Division Yokohama = $210,000
Explanation:
Return on investment (ROI) = Divisional Profit Contribution / Assets Employed in the division x 100
In terms of Margin :
Division Osaka = $ 455,000 / $ 2,275,000 x 100 = 20 %
Division Yokohama = $ 1,470,000/ $ 10,500,000 x 100 = 14 %
In terms of Turnover :
Division Osaka = $ 9,100,000 / $ 2,275,000 x 100 = 400 %
Division Yokohama = $ 21,000,000/ $ 10,500,000 x 100 = 200 %
Residual income = Controllable Profit - Cost of Capital Charge on Controllable Investment
Therefore,
Division Osaka = $ 455,000 - $ 2,275,000 x 12 % = $182,000
Division Yokohama = $ 1,470,000 - $ 10,500,000 x 12 % = $210,000
Bramble Corp. makes and sells umbrellas. The company is in the process of preparing its Selling and Administrative Expense Budget for the last half of the year.

If the company has budgeted to sell 6000 umbrellas in October, how much is the total budgeted variable selling and administrative expenses for October
Answer:
$93,840
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much is the total budgeted variable selling and administrative expenses for October
October Total budgeted variable selling and administrative expenses=
(0.6 + 1.2 + 0.3 + 0.35) x 7200 +6000 + 39,000 + 7,200 + 24,000
October Total budgeted variable selling and administrative expenses=2.45x 7200 +6000 + 39,000 + 7,200 + 24,000
October Total budgeted variable selling and administrative expenses=$17,640+6000 + 39,000 + 7,200 + 24,000
October Total budgeted variable selling and administrative expenses=$93,840
Therefore the total budgeted variable selling and administrative expenses for October is $93,840
On December 31, 2016, Krug Company reported pretax income of $300,000 prior to the following adjusting entries: Depreciation expense: $38,000; Accrued sales revenue: $36,000; Accrued expenses: $17,000; Used insurance: $4,000; the insurance was initially recorded as prepaid. Rent revenue earned: $2,000; the rent was initially prepaid by the tenant and credited to unearned rent revenue. How much is Krug's pretax income after the adjusting entries
Answer: $279,000
Explanation:
Accrued revenue and expenses should be accounted for because they have been realized and incurred in the current period.
Used insurance and depreciation should be accounted for as the expenses they are and rent revenue earned should be treated as revenue.
Pretax income after adjustments:
= Pretax income + Accrued sales revenue + rent revenue - Depreciation - Accrued expenses - Insurance
= 300,000 + 36,000 + 2,000 - 38,000 - 17,000 - 4,000
= $279,000

Exercise 9-18 (Algorithmic) (LO. 5) In 2020, the CEO of Crimson, Inc., entertains 9 clients at a skybox in Memorial Stadium for a single athletic event during the year. Substantive business discussions occurred at various times during the event. The box cost $6,750 per event and seats 11 people. (The cost of a regular, nonluxury box seat at Memorial ranges from $50 to $100.) Refreshments served during the event cost $1,720 (and were separately itemized on the bill Crimson received). How much of these costs may Crimson deduct
Answer: $860
Explanation:
As substantive business discussions took place in box at various times, there can be certain deductions for business purposes.
The box cost is not deductible because the cost is substantially higher than the cost of nonluxury box seats at the same stadium.
As per normal taxation convention, 50% of the refreshments can be deducted as business expenses:
= 50% * 1,720
= $860
Rhein Manufacturing recorded operating data for its auto accessories division for the year. Sales $750,000 Contribution margin 150,000 Total direct fixed costs 90,000 Average total operating assets 400,000 How much is ROI for the year if management is able to identify a way to improve the contribution margin by $30,000, assuming fixed costs are held constant
Answer:
Return On Investment = 22.5%
Explanation:
Given:
Sales = $750,000
Contribution margin = $150,000
Total direct fixed costs = $90,000
Average total operating assets = $400,000
Find:
Return On Investment if contribution margin increase by $30,000
Computation:
Net operating income = Contribution margin - Total direct fixed costs
Net operating income = [$150,000 + $30,000] - $90,000
Net operating income = $90,000
Return On Investment = [Net operating income / Net operating assets]100
Return On Investment = [90,000 / 400,000]100
Return On Investment = [0.225]100
Return On Investment = 22.5%

Explanation:
Xila-Fone Corp. expects to earn $4.00 per share next year, with an expected payout of 30%. Investors expect the dividend to grow at a constant rate of 8% for the foreseeable future. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the beta that is 10% more volatile than the market as a whole, and the expected return on the market is 14%. What is the estimated price of the stock
Answer:
P0 = $17.39130 rounded off to $17.39
Explanation:
The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
D1 is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next yearg is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return
However, to calculate the Price of the stock today, we must first calculate the required rate of return (r) for the stock. The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM equation. The equation is as follows,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rM is the expected return on market
We know the risk free rate and expected return on market and we also know that the beta of market is always equal to 1. So, the beta of stock which is 10% more volatile than the market will be,
Beta of stock = 1 * 10% + 1 = 1.1
r = 0.05 + 1.1 * (0.14 - 0.05)
r = 0.149 or 14.9%
The dividend expected for next year will be,
D1 = 4 * 30% = $1.2 per share
Using the DDM,
P0 = 1.2 / (0.149 - 0.08)
P0 = $17.39130 rounded off to $17.39

Answer:
are like a private tax that redistributes income from consumers to monopoly sellers.
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes. Any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market is generally referred to as a monopolist.
For example, a public power company is an example of a monopoly because they serve as the only source of power utility provider to the general public in a society.
The higher prices charged by monopolists are like a private tax that redistributes income from consumers to monopoly sellers because the consumers are left with no choice than to patronize these monopolists for essential goods and services since they are the only seller.
Brief Exercise 12-8 Partially correct answer. Your answer is partially correct. Try again. Sheffield, Inc., manufactures golf clubs in three models. For the year, the Big Bart line has a net loss of $4,000 from sales $201,000, variable costs $176,000, and fixed costs $29,000. If the Big Bart line is eliminated, $20,100 of fixed costs will remain. Prepare an analysis showing whether the Big Bart line should be eliminated. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
Answer:
The Big Bart line should NOT be eliminated.
Explanation:
The analysis can be prepared as follows:
Sheffield, Inc.
An Analysis showing whether the Big Bart line should be eliminated.
Details Continue Eliminate
$ $
Sales 201,000 0
Variable costs (176,000) 0
Contribution margin 25,000 0
Fixed costs (29,000) (20,100)
Net profit (loss) (4,000) (20,100)
From the analysis above, it can be seen that eliminating the Big Bart line would increase the net loss by $16,100 (i.e. $20,100 - $4,000 = $16,100) from $4,000 to $20,100. Therefore, the Big Bart line should NOT be eliminated.
