Part U16 is used by Mcvean Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 16,500 units of this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: Per Unit Direct materials $ 3.60 Direct labor $ 8.20 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 8.70 Supervisor's salary $ 4.10 Depreciation of special equipment $ 2.50 Allocated general overhead $ 7.70 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $27.50 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part U16 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $28,500 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part U16 from the outside supplier should be:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Financial disadvantage = 45,750

Explanation:

First of all, we need to sort out the data given in this question.

Data Given:

Per Unit Direct materials = $ 3.60

Direct labor = $ 8.20

Variable manufacturing overhead  = $ 8.70

Supervisor's salary =  $ 4.10

Depreciation of special equipment =  $ 2.50

Allocated general overhead =  $ 7.70

Offer by outside supplier = $27.50

So,

Cost of making = [(3.60+8.20+8.70+2.50)*16,500]+28,500 (Opportunity cost)

Cost of Making = (23*16,500)+28,500

Cost of Making = 408,000

Cost of buying = 16,500*27.50

Cost of buying = 453,750

Financial disadvantage = Cost of making - Cost of buying

Financial disadvantage = 453,750 - 408,000

Hence,

Financial disadvantage = 45,750

Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium Suppose Darnell and Eleanor are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Darnell chooses Right and Eleanor chooses Right, Darnell will receive a payoff of 5 and Eleanor will receive a payoff of 1.
Eleanor Left Right
Left 6,6 6,3
Darnell Right 4,3 5,5
The only dominant strategy in this game is for______ to_______ choose.
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Darnell chooses_______ and Eleanor chooses_______.

Answers

Answer:

Best response for Eleanor

If Darnell chooses left, Eleanor would have to choose Left as well so that Eleanor can make a payoff of 6.

If Darnell chooses right, Eleanor would have to choose right as well to make a payoff of 5.

Best response for Darnell.

If Eleanor chooses left, Darnell would choose Left as well to make a payoff of 6.

If Eleanor chooses right, Darnell would still chose Left so as to make the same payoff of 6.

The only dominant strategy in this game is for Darnell to choose Left.

This is the dominant strategy because it is the best strategy regardless of the action of Eleanor.

The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Darnell chooses Left and Eleanor chooses Left.

Darnell would always choose Left as this is the dominant strategy. Eleanor would therefore choose Left as well to make a payoff of 6.

Answers

Answer: The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred.

Explanation:

A loss contingent is an expense that is based on a future event for instance, if the company loses a law suit and would have to pay settlement costs.

Loss contingents are only permitted to be accrued if the probability that they will happen is likely and even at that, the amount of loss needs to be capable of being reasonably estimated. This way, a proper estimate can be made that will represent the situation adequately.

(Round answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 5.125.)

Answers

Answer:

the weighted average cost per unit is $24.514 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted average cost is shown below:

= Total cost of goods available ÷ number of units

= {(65 × $22) + (130 × $24) +  (90 × $25) + (75 × $27)} ÷ (65 + 130 + 90 + 75)

= ($1,430 + $3,120 + $2,250 + $2,025) ÷ ( 360 units)

= $8,825 ÷ 360 units

= $24.514 per unit

Hence, the weighted average cost per unit is $24.514 per unit

Presented below is information related to Shamrock Corp., which sells merchandise with terms 2/10, net 60. Shamrock Corp. records its sales and receivables net. July 1 Shamrock Corp. sold to Warren Harding Co. merchandise having a sales price of $15,000. 5 Accounts receivable of $14,300 (gross) are factored with Andrew Jackson Credit Corp. without recourse at a financing charge of 9%. Cash is received for the proceeds; collections are handled by the finance company. (These accounts were all past the discount period.) 9 Specific accounts receivable of $14,300 (gross) are pledged to Alf Landon Credit Corp. as security for a loan of $6,500 at a finance charge of 6% of the amount of the loan. The finance company will make the collections. (All the accounts receivable are past the discount period.) Dec. 29 Warren Harding Co. notifies Shamrock that it is bankrupt and will pay only 10% of its account. Give the entry to write off the uncollectible balance using the allowance method. (Note: First record the increase in the receivable on July 11 when the discount period passed.)

Answers

Answer:

Shamrock Corp.

Entry to write off the uncollectible balance of Warren Harding Co.:

Debit Allowance for Uncollectible accounts $13,500

Credit Accounts Receivable $13,500

To write off the uncollectible account.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Credit terms = 2/10, net 60.  This means that 2% discount is allowed to each customer for making payment within 10 days and the longest credit is 60 days.

Sales to Warren Harding Co = $15,000

Amount debited to Accounts Receivable = 14,700 ($15,000 * 98%)

Amount paid by Warren (10%) = $1,500

Amount to be written off as uncollectible = $13,500

Discount of $300 will be reversed with a debit to the Accounts Receivable and a credit to Discount Allowed (since the Shamrock Corp. records its sales and receivables net.)

Cash of $1,500 will be debited and Accounts Receivable credited to record the 10% of $15,000 cash receipt from Warren Harding Co.  The remaining amount, which is $13,500 will be written off with a debit to Allowance for Uncollectible accounts and a credit to Accounts Receivable.

Company policy is to maintain an ending finished-goods inventory equal to 40% of the following month's sales. On the basis of this information, how many units would the company plan to produce in September

Answers

Answer:

50,600 units

Explanation:

The computation of the number of units to be produced in September is given below:

= sales + ending inventory - opening inventory

= 51,000 units + (40% of 50,000 units) - (40% of 51,000 units)

= 51,000 units + 20,000 units - 20,400 units

Kieso Company borrowed $740,000 for three months. The annual interest rate on the loan was 9%. Kieso's fiscal year ends on December 31. Kieso borrowed the $740,000 one month prior to the start of its current fiscal year and paid back the $740,000 plus interest two months into its current fiscal year. How much interest expense, if any, would Kieso report at the end of its last fiscal year and at the end of its current fiscal year

Answers

Answer:

Last Fiscal Year:

Interest Expense = $5550

Current Fiscal Year:

Interest Expense = $11100

Explanation:

According to the accrual basis of accounting, the expenses and revenues relating to a certain period should be recorded in that particular period whether of not they have been received. The fiscal year of Kieso ends on 31 December and as the loan was taken one month prior to the start of the current fiscal year, it was taken at the start of December of last fiscal year.

This means that the interest expense on loan relating to last December will be charged to the last fiscal year and the interest expense relating to January and February will be charged to the current fiscal year. The interest expense amount will be calculated as follows,

Last Fiscal Year = 740000 * 9% * 1/12  => $5550

Current Fiscal Year = 740000 * 9% * 2/12  => $11100

XYZ company sells wooden carvings for $300 each. The direct materials cost per unit is $160 and the direct labor per unit is 2 hours at a rate of $26 per hour. Manufacturing overhead (all fixed costs) is applied based on labor hours at a rate of $36 per hour. XYZ makes and sells 1,000 units per period. How many units must XYZ sell to breakeven

Answers

Answer:

818 units

Explanation:

Unit Contribution margin

= 300 - 160 - (2 × $26)

= $88

Fixed cost period

= (2 × $36) × 1,000 units

= $72,000

Break even = Fixed cost / Contribution margin

Break even = $72,000 / $88

Break even = 818 units

Therefore, XYZ company must sell 818 units to break even.

Answer:

Madison Company

On the basis of the payback period decision model, the project that should be selected is:

c. Project P

Explanation:

a) Data and Analysis:

                                 Project P   Project Q   Project R   Project S   Project T

Cost of investment  $32,000    $38,200    $57,100    $47,400   $53,000

Net cash flow

Year 1                         $5,200      $3,200      $4,300   $26,000    $15,900

Year 2                        $9,600     $15,300    $16,900     $8,400     $15,800

Year 3                       $12,700     $14,700    $21,000     $6,400      $16,100

Year 4                       $15,300    $19,300     $31,000     $4,300     $11,000

Year 5                      $52,000     $2,100     $10,000

Total net cash flow $94,800   $54,600    $83,200    $45,100    $58,800

                                 Year 4       Year 4        Year 4       Unable      Year 4

b) While four of the five projects pay back within Year 4, Project P has the added advantage of more total cash inflows.  It is followed closely by Project R.  The payback period as a capital appraisal method relies on counting the years or periods when the project's investment will be recovered. The payback period method does not evaluate projects based on the time value of money unless the modernized discounted payback period method is used.

The payback period method is a method that considers the number of months or years it takes to return the initial investment.

When more than one investment is being considered under payback period, the investment with the shortest payback period will be selected.

Since the net cash inflows of each year for each project is different, the following formula is used in the attached photo to calculate the payback period:

Payback period = A + (X / Y) ………………….. (1)

Where:

A = Year immediately preceding to year of recovery

X = Amount left to be recovered

Z = Cash inflow in the year of final recovery

Before equation (1) is used, cumulative net cash inflows is first calculated as done in the attached photo.

From the attached photo, we have:

Project P’s payback period = 3.29 years

Project Q’s payback period = 3.26 years

Project R’s payback period = 3.48 years

Project S’s payback period = after 5 years

Project T’s payback period = 3.47 years

Based on above the above, b. Project Q should be selected because it has the shortest payback period which is 3.26 years.

How is the property classified for MACRS? B. What is the life of the asset for MACRS?C. Ellie's cost recovery for 2018 is_____.

Answers

Answer:

Ellie

A. The property is classified for 27.5-year MACRS since more than 80% of the gross rental income emanates from residential dwellings.

B. The life of the asset for this type of MACRS is 27.5 years.

C. Ellie's cost recovery for 2020/2018 is $28,848.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of building and land = $5,600,000

Appraised cost of land = $840,000 ($5,600,000 * 15%)

Appraised cost of building = $4,760,000 ( ($5,600,000 * 85%)

Rent from the bottom floor leased to a retail business = $80,000

Rent from the other floors as rental apartments = $350,000

Total value of rental income = $430,000

Retail business % of rental income = 19%

Residential apartments % of rental income = 81%

Cost recovery = $173,091 ($4,760,000/27.5) per annum

For 2 months, the cost recovery = $28,848 ($173,091 * 2/12)

A bank receives a deposit for $50,000. If the bank has a 10 percent reserve
requirement, approximately how much money could this initial deposit
eventually add to the economy?

Answers

Answer:

$500,000

Explanation:

ap ex

A bank having a 10 percent reserve requirement will add $500,000 to the economy on receiving $50,000 as a initial deposit.

Reserve requirements are the sums of money that a bank must have in reserve in order to cover liabilities in the event of an unexpected withdrawal. Reserve requirements are a technique used by the central bank to influence interest rates by increasing or decreasing the money supply in the economy.

According to the question, reserve requirement is 10%, and the initial deposit is $50,000.

Therefore, $50,000+$50,000×10/100 will result in the money that could be added to the economy, which is $500,000.

The Bawl Street Journal costs $580, payable now, for a 2-year subscription. The newspaper is published 252 days per year (5 days per week, except holidays). If a 10% nominal annual interest rate compounded quarterly is used: What is the effective annual interest rate in this problem?

Answers

Answer:

The effective annual rate of interest is "10.38%".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Nominal annual interest rate,

Q = 10%

i.e.,

   = 0.10

Quarterly compounding,

q = 4

Now,

The effective annual rate of interest will be:

=  [tex][{1 + (\frac{Q}{q} )}^q] - 1[/tex]

On substituting the given values in the above formula, we get

=  [tex][{1 + (\frac{0.10}{4} )}^4] 1[/tex]

=  [tex][(1 + 0.025)^4] - 1[/tex]

=  [tex](1.025)^4-1[/tex]

=  [tex]1.10381289 - 1[/tex]

=  [tex]0.10381289[/tex]

On converting it into percentage, we get

=  [tex]10.38[/tex]%
