Answer:
1. $9.50 per Direct labor hour
2. $69,750
Explanation:
1. Computation for the predetermined overhead rate
First step is to calculate the Total Estimated overhead cost
Variable overhead cost $36,250
(72,500 Direct labor hours *$ 0.50 )
Add Fixed overhead cost $652,500
Total Estimated overhead cost $688,750
Now let calculate the predetermined overhead rate
Using this formula
Predetermined overhead rate = Total estimated overhead cost / Total estimated direct labor hours
Let plug in the formula
Predetermined overhead rate = $688,750 / 72,500
Predetermined overhead rate = $9.50 per Direct labor hour
Therefore Predetermined overhead rate will be $9.50 per Direct labor hour
2. Computation for the total job cost for the Xavier company Engagement
Direct Materials $43,500
Direct Labor $ 23,400
Overhead applied $2,850
(300 Direct labor * $9.50 )
Total Manufacturing cost $69,750
Therefore total job cost for the Xavier Company engagement will be $69,750
Intermediate targets are Group of answer choices financial variables, such as interest rates or monetary aggregates, the Fed believes will help it to achieve policy goals. interim goals set on the way to fully achieving policy goals. targets the Fed hopes to achieve by June of each year. targets for policy goals that are of secondary importance.
Answer:
financial variables, such as interest rates or monetary aggregates, the Fed believes will help it to achieve policy goals.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve System ( popularly referred to as the 'Fed') was created by the Federal Reserve Act, passed by the U.S Congress on the 23rd of December, 1913. The Fed began operations in 1914 and just like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a United States government agency.
Generally, it comprises of twelve (12) Federal Reserve Bank regionally across the United States of America.
Like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a government agency that is saddled with the following responsibilities;
I. The Fed controls the issuance of currency in United States of America: it promotes public goals such as economic growth, low inflation, and the smooth operation of financial markets.
II. It provides banking services to all the commercial banks in the country because the Federal Reserve is the "lender of last resort."
III. It regulates banking activities in the United States of America: it has the power to supervise and regulate banks.
Intermediate targets can be defined as financial and economic variables which aren't directly under the control of the Federal Reserve (central bank) but they try to use them to influence policy actions or goals within a specific period of time.
Hence, intermediate targets are financial or economic variables, such as interest rates or monetary aggregates, the Fed believes will help it to achieve policy goals.

Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.4 million machine. It will cost $46,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years using straight-line depreciation and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $3.9 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.3 million per year. Daily's marginal tax rate is 35%. You are forecasting incremental free cash flows for Daily Enterprises. Whatare the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine?
Answer:
$2,421,220
Explanation:
Calculation to determine incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine
First step is to calculate The cost of depreciation
Cost of depreciation= $10,4000,00 + $46,000/ 5
Cost of depreciation= $2,089,200
Now let calculate the Incremental free cash flows
Incremental free cash flows = ( $3.9 million - $1,300,000) * (1 - 0.35) + $2,089,200* 0.35
Incremental free cash flows = $1,690,000 + $731,220
Incremental free cash flows=$2,421,220
Therefore the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine is $2,421,220.

Roxy Inc. issues a $1,500,000, 10%, 10-year mortgage note on December 31, 2018, to obtain financing for a new building. The terms provide for annual installment payments of $244,118. Prepare the entry to record the mortgage loan on December 31, 2018, and the first installment payment on December 31, 2019.
Answer:
See the journal entries below.
Explanation:
The journal entries will look as follows:
Date Particulars Debit ($) Credit ($)
31 Dec 2018 Cash 1,500,000
Mortgage payable 1,500,000
(To record $1,500,000, 10%, 10-year mortgage note issued.)
31 Dec 2018 Mortgage payable (w.2) 94,118
Interest exp. on Mortgage (w.1) 150,000
Cash 244,118
(To record first installment payment on mortgage note.)
Workings:
w.1. Interest expense on Mortgage = Mortgage payable * Interest rate = $1,500,000 * 10% = $150,000
w.2. Mortgage note principal repaid = Annual installment payment - w.1 = $244,118 - $150,000 = $94,118
The average height of members of the high school basketball team is six feet, three inches. Jerry is on the high school basketball team, so Jerry must be taller than six feet. The argument above is flawed because it confuses:_________
Answer:
The argument is confusing an average for the individuals who make up that average.
Explanation:
The argument assumes that the height of all members of the team is above 6 ft. this is flawed because it assumes that the average height is equal to the height of the members of the team
for example, there are two members in the team
assume that the height of each member is 6 ft 3 inches. the average height is 6 ft 3 inches
Assume that the height of one member is 10.6 in and jerry's height is 2.0. the average height is 6 ft 3 inches. Here Jerry's height is less than 6ft
Concord Corporation manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $100 and a unit sales price of $181. Fixed manufacturing costs were $480000 when 10000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1000 units at $125 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows:
a. Income would increase by $23000.
b. Income would increase by $125000.
c. Income would decrease by $23000.
d. Income would increase by $25000.
Answer:
d. Income would increase by $25000.
Explanation:
Concord Corporation received a special order to sell 1,000 units at $125 each.
Incremental Sales Revenue = 1,000 * $125
Incremental Sales Revenue = $125,000
Variable Cost per unit = $100
Fixed manufacturing cost = $480,000
To produce required additional units, there will be no change in fixed manufacturing costs. So, cost to produce additional units will change on account of variable manufacturing cost only.
Incremental Cost = $100 * 1,000
Incremental Cost = $100,000
Incremental Net Income = Incremental Sales Revenue - Incremental Cost
Incremental Net Income = $125,000 - $100,000
Incremental Net Income = $25,000
Why would a producer decide to produce in a competitive market in which she will earn zero profit in the long run? Choose one: A. Because at zero profit, with her revenue, she can cover all her costs—explicit and implicit (opportunity cost). B. Because the zero profit in the long run is, in fact, zero accounting profit, and it matters only in the books. C. Because in the short run, her profit is always positive. D. Because the producer has a high cost of exiting this market, and it is better for her to continue operating at zero profit.
Answer:
Option A : Because at zero profit, with her revenue, she can cover all her costs—explicit and implicit (opportunity cost).
Explanation:
Perfectly Competitive Market
This is simply a market the market participants are said to be price takers that is no consumption decisions by individual consumers and no production decisions by individual producers can be able to affect the market price of a good.
Perfectly Competitive Industry
This is simply an industry where producers are said to be price takers.
Explicit Costs
These are costs that are simply known as "out-of-pocket" costs or in accounting costs. They are an individual's fixed and variable costs of doing business.
Implicit Costs
These are costs that do not partains to monetary payment as they are the opportunity costs of doing business.
It is said that at zero profit, the revenue covers all the costs, including the implicit ones. The fact that her implicit costs are covered shows that no outside option or opportunity that is superior to the zero economic profit option is chosened.
You purchased 100 shares of Crestwood Equity Partners (CEQP) stock on the last day of April 2020 for $10.94 per share. During the month of May you received a dividend of $0.625 per share. You sold all of your Crestwood stock on the last trading day of May for $14.21 per share. Compute your percentage return for the month that you owned the stock.
Answer:
the percentage return is 35.60%
Explanation:
The computation of the percentage return is shown below;
= (Last trading day on may - last day of april + dividend received) ÷ (last day of april) ×100
= ($14.21 - $10.94 + $0.625) ÷ ($10.94) × 100
= ($3.895) ÷ ($10.94) × 100
= 35.60%
Hence, the percentage return is 35.60%
The above formula should be applied
At the beginning of June, 6,000 diamonds were in process. During June, an additional 9,000 diamonds were started. 7,000 diamonds were completed and transferred to finished goods. As of the beginning of the month, work in process was 80% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. As of the end of the month, work in process was 50% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion costs. Calculate the equivalent units of direct labor for June.
Answer:
9,400 units
Explanation:
Equivalent units are physical units expressed as a percentage of work done on then. In this case we express the physical outputs as percentage of direct labor.
Step 1: Ending Work in Process units calculation :
Ending Work in Process units = 6,000 + 9,000 - 7,000
= 8,000
Step 2 : Equivalent units of direct labor for June calculation:
Completed and transferred (7,000 x 100%) 7,000
Ending Work in Process (8,000 x 30%) 2,400
Equivalent units of production 9,400
Dennis wants to determine if the discount rate really makes any difference in the net present value of a project. He feels that if a project is acceptable at one rate of return, it will be acceptable at all rates of return. To explain why his thinking is incorrect, you are creating an example to illustrate your point. The cash flows you are using are as follows: time zero is -$71,000, years 1 through 4 are $17,500 each, and years 5 and 6 are $22,500 each. What is net present value at a discount rate of 12 percent and 17 percent
Answer:
$6319,92
$-3959.52
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = -$71,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 2 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 3 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 4 = $17,500
Cash flow in year 5 = $22,500
Cash flow in year 6 = $22,500
NPV when I is 12% = $6319,92
NPV when I is 17% = $-3959.52
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Normally you will see US Labor Productivity Increasing at an annual rate of around 6%. In reading the book you should see that it must continue to increase for our country to continue to have the standard of living that we do. What seemed odd to me was that in the 3rd Quarter of 2009, while our country is in the midst of a very deep recession, this number went to 14.8%. In the 4th Quarter it dropped to 6.4% and in the 1st Quarter of this year it was at 2.5%. Why the Big Spike in the 3rd Quarter of 2009
Answer: c) Employees are fearful of losing their jobs, so they are working harder and complaining less.
Explanation:
Research has shown that during periods of recession, people tend to work harder than they do before the recession which has the effect of boosting productivity levels during that period.
The simply reason for this is, fear. In a recession, businesses come under a lot of pressure to reduce their workforce in order to save costs which leads to a rise in unemployment. Workers that are laid off are usually the unproductive ones so workers begin to put in more work during this time so that they do not get laid off.

Answer:
d. risk of participating outside a firm's domestic markets in the global economy.
Explanation:
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
Globalization can be defined as the strategic process which involves the integration of various markets across the world to form a large global marketplace. Basically, globalization makes it possible for various organizations to produce goods and services that is used by consumers across the world.
The "liability of foreignness" is the risk of participating outside a firm's domestic markets in the global economy. It comprises of the costs that a business firm operating outside its home country incurs as compared with local firms operating in the same country.

Selected financial information for ELX Corporation is reproduced below: 1. Net operating assets (NOA) turnover (average NOA equals ending NOA) is 4. 2. Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) margin is 6% 3. Leverage ratio (average net financial obligation to average common equity) is 2.5, and the spread is 7.3%. What is ELX's return on common equity
Answer:
the Return on common equity is 43.45%
Explanation:
The computation of the return on common equity is shown below;
As we know that
Return on common equity = Return on net operating assets + leverage × spread
= (4.2 × 6%) + 2.5 × 7.3%
= 25.2% + 18.25%
= 43.45%
Hence, the Return on common equity is 43.45%

Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 179,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 137,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $93 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 21,000 tires for $76.85 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:
Direct materials $54
Direct labor 24
Factory overhead (62% variable) 24
Selling and administrative expenses (44% variable) 25
Total $127.00
Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 4% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $7.65 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $165,424.

Jackson Company has developed the following sales projections for the calendar year:
May $108,000
June 128,000
July 148,000
August 168,000
September 158,000
October 138,000
Normal cash collection experience has been that 50% of sales is collected during the month of sale and 45% in the month following the sale. The remaining 5% of sales are never collected. Jackson's budgeted cash collections for the third calendar quarter are: _______
Answer:
Total cash collection 3rd quarter= $436,800
Explanation:
We need to calculate the cash collection for each month of the third quarter:
Cash collection July:
Sales from June= 128,000*0.45= 57,600
Sales from July= 148,000*0.50= 74,000
Total cash collection July= $131,600
Cash collection August:
Sales from July= 148,000*0.45= 66,600
Sales from August= 168,000*0.5= 84,000
Total cash collection August= $150,600
Cash collection September:
Sales from August= 168,000*0.45= 75,600
Sales from September= 158,000*0.5= 79,000
Total cash collection September= $154,600
Total cash collection 3rd quarter= $436,800

Required: Compute the following financial data and ratios:
1. Working capital.
2. Current Ratio (round to 2 decimal places)
3. Acid-Test Ratio (round to 2 decimal places)
4. Debt-to-equity Ratio (round to 2 decimal places)
5. Times interest earned Ratio (2 decimal places)
6. Average collection period (days)
7. Average sale period (days)
8. Operating cycle (Days; round intermediate calculations and final answer to 1 decimal place)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1.
Working capital = Current Asset - Current Liabilities
= $569,000 - $280,000
= $289,000
2.
Current ratio = Current Asset ÷ Current Liability
= $569,000 ÷ $280,000
= 2.03
3.
Acid-test (quick) ratio = {(Current Asset - Inventory - prepaid expense) ÷ Current Liabilities }
= {{$569,000- $320,000 - $8,000) ÷ ($280,000)}
= 0.86 times
4.
Debt-Equity ratio = Total Liability ÷ Shareholders' Equity
= $670,000 ÷ $759,000
= 0.88 times
5.
Times interest earned = EBIT ÷ Interest Charges
= ($1,224,000 + $35,100) ÷ ($35,100)
= 35.87 times
6.
Average collection period
= 365 ÷ ($3,010,00 ÷ $215,000)
= 26 days
The $215,000 comes from
= ($210,000 + $220,000) ÷ 2
= $215,000
7. The average sales period is
= 365 ÷ ($1,110,000 ÷ $300,000)
= 99 days
The $300,000 comes from
= ($280,000 + $320,000) ÷ 2
= $300,000
8. The operating cycle is
= 99 days - 26 days
= 73 days
Lily Company expects the following total sales: Month Sales March $30,000 April $20,000 May $30,000 June $25,000 The company expects 60% of its sales to be credit sales and 40% for cash. Credit sales are collected as follows: 30% in the month of sale, 70% in the month following the sale. The budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 is: A. $12,240 B. $12,600 C. $20,400 D. $21,000
Answer:
B. $12,600
Explanation:
"The company expects 60% of its sales to be credit sales and 40% for cash"
Credit sale for May = $30,000 * 60%
Credit sale for May = $18,000
"70% of the credit sale is collected in following month of sale"
Accounts receivables on 31 May = 70% of credit sale for May
Accounts receivables on 31 May = 70% * $18,000
Accounts receivables on 31 May = $12,600

A new issue of stock is expected to be sold for $98, with $2 per share representing the underpricing necessary in the competitive capital market. Flotation costs are expected to total $1 per share. The dividends paid on the outstanding stock over the past five years are as follows: The cost of this new issue of common stock is ________.
Answer:
D) 12.8 percent
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The cost of this new issue of common stock is
Using this formula
Cost of common stock new issue= D1 ÷ P0 + g
Where,
D1 =$5.61
P0=$98
g=[($5.61 - $5.24) ÷ $5.24]=7.06%
Let plug in the formula
Cost of common stock new issue = ($5.61 ÷ $98*100) + 7.06%
Cost of common stock new issue= 5.72% + 7.06%
Cost of common stock new issue= 12.78%
