Fothergill Company makes 40,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows:
Direct materials $23.40
Direct labor 22.30
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.40
Fixed manufacturing overhead 24.60
Unit product cost $71.70
An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $59.10 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $390,000 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor, direct materials and variable manufacturing overhead costs of the part would be avoided. However, $21.90 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company's remaining products.
Required:
a. How much of the unit product cost of $71.70 is relevant in the decision of whether to make or buy the part?
b. What is the net total dollar advantage or (disadvantage) of purchasing the part rather than making it? (remember that the facility could be used to produce a different product if we purchased the parts from the outside).
c. What is the maximum amount the company should be willing to pay an outside supplier per unit for the part if the supplier commits to supplying all 40,000 units required each year?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a)

cost per unit

= direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overheard + fixed manufacturing over eard

= $23.40 + $22.30 + $1.40 + ($24.60 - $21.90)

= $49.80

b)

The net advantage is  

= manufacturing cost savings + addition contribution margin - cost of purchase of part

= $1,992,000 (40,000 ×$49.80) + $390,000 - $2,364,000 (40,000 × $59.10)

= $18,000

c)

total benefit is

= $1,992,000 + $390,000

= $2,382,000

Now  

maximum amount per unit is

= $2,382,000 ÷ 40000

= $59.55

Suppose that the current one-year rate (one-year spot rate) and expected one-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e., years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows: 1R1 = 0.3%, E(2r 1) = 1.3%, E(3r1) = 9.4%, E(4r1) = 9.75%. Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for one-, two-, three-, and four-year maturity Treasury securities. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places. (e.g., 32.161))

Answers

Answer:

Year 1 long term rate is the same as first year 1 year rate = 0.3%

Year 2

= √[(1 + year 1 rate%) * (1 + year 2 rate%)]  - 1

= √[(1 + 0.3%) * (1 + 1.3%)] - 1

= 0.799%

Year 3

= ³√[(1 + year 1 rate%) * (1 + year 2 rate%) *  (1 + year 3 rate%)]  - 1

= ³√[(1 + 0.3%) * (1 + 1.3%) * (1 * 9.4)] - 1

= 3.588%

Year 4

=  ⁴√[(1 + year 1 rate%) * (1 + year 2 rate%) *  (1 + year 3 rate%) * (1 + 4 year rate)]  - 1

= ⁴√[(1 + 0.3%) * (1 + 1.3%) * (1 * 9.4) * (1 + 9.75%)] - 1

= 5.095%

What is the purpose of using predetermined overhead rates: Variation in cost assignment due to short-term variations in volume can be prevented Delays in product costing can be avoided Variation in cost assignment due to seasonality can be prevented. All of the answers are correct.

Answers

Answer:

All of the answers are correct.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the accounting period a pre-determined overhead is computed by dividing the estimated overhead production by the estimated basis of operations. The default overhead rate is then applied to manufacturing, so that the standard cost for a product may be calculated

The purpose of using pretermined overhead rates are

Delays in product costing can be avoided

Variation in cost assignment due to seasonality can be prevented

Variation in cost assignment due to short-term variations in volume can be prevented

The Use of predetermined overhead rates serves all the above purposes

Hence, all answers are correct.

As of Dec. 31, 2013, a company had current assets of $600,000 and current liabilities of $300,000. Sales of the company are expected to increase by 10 percent for each of the next two years. If all current assets and current liability accounts increase proportionately with sales, what would be the projected current ratio of the company on Dec. 31, 2015

Answers

Answer:

2.00

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what would be the projected current ratio of the company on Dec. 31, 2015

Using this formula

Current ratio =Current assets/ Current liabilities

Let plug in the formula

Current ratio =$600,000 /$300,000

Current ratio =2.00

Therefore the projected current ratio of the company on Dec. 31, 2015 is 2.00

Martinson Inc. manufactures industrial-sized landscaping trailers and uses budgeted machine-hours to allocate variable manufacturing overhead. The following information pertains to the company's manufacturing overhead data: Budgeted output units 40,000 units Budgeted machine-hours 10,000 hours Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 40,000 units $310,000 Actual output units produced 36,500 units Actual machine-hours used 14,600 hours Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs $350,400 What is the budgeted variable overhead cost rate per output unit

Answers

Answer:

Overhead rate per unit= $124

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Budgeted output units 40,000 units

Budgeted machine-hours 10,000 hours

Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 40,000 units $310,000

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 310,000 / 10,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $31 per machine hour

Now, for each unit:

Machine hours per unit= 40,000/10,000= 4

Overhead rate per unit= 31*4

Overhead rate per unit= $124

                         Income tax payable                                                    $4,029,000

Explanation:

2021 Income tax expense from warranty costs:

= Taxable income - Pretax accounting income

= 10,160,000 - 7,100,000

= $3,060,000

Tax on the warranty payments will be treated as deferred tax assets so the total is:

= (1,020,000 * 30%) + (510,000 * 30%) + (510,000 * 30%) + (1,020,000 * 35%)

= $969,000

A perfectly elastic supply curve is: Group of answer choices upward sloping to the right. vertical. horizontal. downward sloping to the left.

Answers

Answer:

vertical

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

You are reviewing a company's general ledger. It shows consecutive balances of $52,111 and $60,564 for the Accounts Receivable account. Without looking at the transaction column, what was the transaction

Answers

Answer:

Accounts Receivable   $8453 (debit)

Sales  $8453( credit)

Explanation:

The consecutive balances are $52,111 and $60,564 which means that the Accounts Receivable has increased from $52,111 to $60,564.

Increase in Accounts Receivable=  $60,564 - $52,111

                                                     =$8453

The Accounts Receivable balance increases when sales are made on accounts with certain given terms etc.

So the transaction would be

Accounts Receivable   $8453 (debit)

Sales  $8453( credit)

The debit in accounts receivable shows that the balance has increased . Also the credit in Sales accounts show that the sales have increased.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

AP = 4.15

SP = 4.0

SQ = 114000 × 2 = 228000

1. Direct Materials Price

= (AQ × AP) - (AQ × SP)

= (246000 × 4.15) - (246000 × 4.0)

= 1020900 - 984000

= 369000 U

2. Direct Materials Quantity

= (AQ × SP) - (SQ × SP)

where SQ = 114000 × 2 = 228000

= (220000 × 4.0) - (228000 × 4.0)

= 880000 - 912000

= 32000 F

3. Direct Labor Price

= (AH × AR) - (AH × SR)

= (58700 × 9.8) - (58700 × 10)

= 575260 - 587000

= 11740

4. Direct Labor Quantity

= (AH × SR) - (SH × SR)

where, SH = 114000 × ½ = 57000

= (58700 × 10) - (57000 × 10)

= 587000 - 570000

= 17000 U

5. Total Overhead Variances

= 352000 - (57000 × 6)

= 352000 - 342000

The market price of a security is $46. Its expected rate of return is 10%. The risk-free rate is 4%, and the market risk premium is 9%. What will the market price of the security be if its beta doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)

Answers

Answer:

The new Market price =$28.75

Explanation:

According to the  Capital Asset Pricing Model CAPM, we have that  

Expected return= risk free rate+(beta X market risk premium)

10=4+ beta x 9

= 10- 4  = beta x 9

beta =6 /9 =0.666

IF  beta doubles with other variables constant

Expected return= risk free rate+(betaXmarket risk premium)

Beta= 0.666 x2 =1.3333

Expected return = 4+ 1.333 x 9

Expected return 4+ 12=16%

Price  =  Perpertual Dividend /Expected return

where Current Share price =$46

Dividend = $46 x 10%=4.6  

 

The new Market price =  Perpetual dividend/New Required return

= 4.6/16% =$28.75

So the new Market price =$28.75

McBurger, Inc., wants to redesign its kitchens to improve productivity and quality. Three designs, called designs K1, K2, and K3, are under consideration. No matter which design is used, daily production of sandwiches at a typical McBurger restaurant is for 500 sandwiches. A sandwich costs $1.20 to produce. Non-defective sandwiches sell, on the average, for $2.50 per sandwich. Defective sandwiches cannot be sold and are scrapped.
The goal is to choose a design that maximizes the expected profit at a typical restaurant over a 300-day period. Designs K1, K2, and K3 cost $100,000, $130,000, and $150,000, respectively. Under design K1, there is a .80 chance that 90 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a .20 chance that 70 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective. Under design K2, there is a .85 chance that 90 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a .15 chance that 75 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective. Under design K3, there is a .90 chance that 95 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a .10 chance that 80 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective.

McBurger, Inc.

The expected profit level of design K1 is $_42,500__.

The expected Profit level of design K2 is_19,063__.

The expected profit level of design k3 is_20,625__.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Daily production units at a typical McBurger restaurant = 500 sandwiches

Yearly production units =150,000 (500 * 300)

Unit production cost of a sandwich = $1.20

Selling price of non-defective sandwich = $2.50

                                              Design K1   Design K2    Design K3

Calculation of non-defective units:

0.80 * 90/100 * 150,000         108,000

0.20 * 70/100 * 150,000           21,000

0.85 * 90/100 * 150,000                              114,750

0.15 * 75/100 * 150,000                                16,875

0.90 * 95/100 * 150,000                                                 128,250

0.10 * 80/100 * 150,000                                                    12,000

                                              129,000        131,625       140,250

Sales Revenue                  $322,500    $329,063    $350,625

Production cost                   (180,000)     (180,000)     (180,000)

Cost of design                    (100,000)     (130,000)     (150,000)

Expected profit                   $42,500       $19,063      $20,625

Sales revenue = Non-defective sandwiches * $2.50

Product cost = Production units * $1.20

Expected profit = Sales Revenue - (Product cost + Design cost)

Answers

Answer:

the spending and tax policy that the government pursues to achieve particular macroeconomic goals.

Explanation:

Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.

A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.

Fiscal policy typically includes the spending and tax policy that a government pursues in order to achieve particular macroeconomic goals such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.

According to the Keynesian theory, government spending or expenditures should be increased and taxes should be lowered when faced with a recession, in order to create employment and boost the buying power of consumers.

Generally, an economy will return to its original level of output (production) and price level when the short-run aggregate supply curve falls (decreases) and no changes in monetary and fiscal policies are implemented.

B) output, lower, doing well

C) output, constant, doing well

D) output, higher, doing well

E) input, lower, lack of competitiveness

And the correct answer is the option C: output, constant, doing well.

Explanation:

To begin with, in the microeconomics theory when it comes to the term of "constant return of scale" it refers to the situation in where a company is producing its output at a constant average total cost indicating that is doing well due to the fact that the costs are still covered by the earings that the company is having so that means that it could still keep on working for the next period. The term of return of scale focus on the changes donde in the inputs and how that affects the outputs and the earning regarding that base.

Answers

Answer:

The Bronco Corporation

The fair value of the equipment is:

= $145,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Book value of land = $125,000

Fair value of the land = $160,000

Amount received from the equipment owner in exchange = $15,000

Fair value of the equipment = $145,000 ($160,000 - $15,000)

b) This simply means that the equipment is worth less than the land which is exchanged between Bronco and the equipment owner.

Answers

Answer:

Market failure.

Explanation:

In this scenario, the port became so congested such that ships now have to wait hours queing every day just to dock. The mayor of New Monopoly realizes that the congestion at the port costs the shipping companies and his town money. This is an example of market failure.

A market failure can be defined as a situation in which the market fails to produce an efficient level of productivity or output that is required to meet demand.

This ultimately implies that, a market failure arises when there is inefficiency in the distribution or allocation of goods and services in a free market. Thus, the demand of the consumer of these goods and services are not being met with the level of supply (output) required i.e the forces of demand and supply are not efficient in producing the level of output required by the economy.

Some of the causes of market failure are imperfect information, monopoly, oligopoly, externalities etc.

There are two reasons that an industry prefers self-regulation to government regulation: cost and flexibility. True False

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

In general, the vast majority of industrial entrepreneurs prefer self-regulation over government regulation. This is so due to two fundamental factors: on the one hand, the maintenance costs of the government regulatory system are paid for through taxes, which means that the higher the regulations, the higher the taxes that each company must pay, while the self-regulation should not spend. more money than that of the control systems, without allocating sums of money to the government; and on the other, flexibility, that is, the possibility of adapting the processes, systems and needs of each company to the necessary regulations, being able to optimize costs and processes.

On January 1, a company issued and sold a $440,000, 6%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $434,000. Interest is payable each June 30 and December 31. The company uses the straight-line method to amortize the discount. The carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is:

Answers

Answer:

The carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is $434,300.

Explanation:

Face value of the bond = $440,000

Proceeds from bond issue = $434,000

Discount on bond payable = Face value of the bond - Proceeds from bond issue = $440,000 - $434,000 = $6,000

Total number of seminual = Number of years of bond maturity * Number of semiannual in a year = 10 * 2 = 20

Discount amortizaton per semiannual = Discount on bond payable / Total number of seminual = $6,000 / 20 = $300

Carrying value after first interest payment = Proceeds from bond issue + Discount amortizaton per semiannual = $434,000 + $300 = $434,300

Therefore, the carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is $434,300.

Finerly Corporation sells cosmetics through a network of independent distributors. Finerly shipped cosmetics to its distributors and is considering whether it should record $300,000 of revenue upon shipment of a new line of cosmetics. Finerly expects the distributors to be able to sell the cosmetics, but is uncertain because it has little experience with selling cosmetics of this type. Finerly is committed to accepting the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold. How much revenue should Finerly recognize upon delivery to its distributors?

Answers

Answer: $0

Explanation:

When there is an expectation of reversal of the goods back to the company due to factors arising from a delay in the delivery of the goods or other factors that could not be controlled, the revenue recognized should be $0.

In this scenario, Finerly is uncertain about the ability of the goods to be sold by the distributors and is committed to accepting the cosmetics should they not sell.

As they have little experience which means that they will be unable to control much unforeseen factors, there is an expectation of reversal so revenue should be recognized at $0 on delivery. Revenue will only be recognized after sales.

A man wants to help provide a college education for his young daughter. He can afford to invest $1500/yr for the next 5 years, beginning on the girl 's 5th birthday. He wishes to give his daughter $10,000 on her 18th, 19th , 20th, and 21 st birthdays, for a total of $40,000. Assuming 6% interest, what uniform annual investment will he have to make on the girl's 9th through 17th birthdays?

Answers

Answer:

$1,919.69

Explanation:

when the daughter is 9 years old, total savings = $1,500 x 5.6371 (FVIFA, 6%, 5 periods) = $8,455.65

first 5 payments:

birthdays = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

the present value of the $40,000 that he needs for her daughter's college = $10,000 x 3.4651 (PVIFA, 6%, 4 periods) = $34,651

the FV until the 17th birthday = $8,455.65 x 1.06⁸ = $15,650.82

he needs to save = $34,651 - $15,650.82 = $19,000.18

value of annual deposits = $19,000.18 / 9.8975 (FVIFA, 6%, 8 peridos) = $1,919.69
