Answer:
(a) Current ratio = 2.88 : 1
(b) Acid test ratio = 2.03 : 1
(c) Accounts receivable turnover = 4.94 times
(d) Inventory turnover = 6.65 times
(e) Profit margin = 13.12%
(f) Asset turnover = 0.95 times
(g) Return on assets = 12.43%
(h) Return on common stockholders' equity = 14.62%
(i) Debt to assets ratio = 11.17%
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
a. Current ratio
Current assets = Cash + Accounts receivable (net) + Inventory = $4,100 + $20,900 + $10,400 =
Current liabilities = Accounts payable = $12,300
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities = $35,400 / $12,300 = 2.88 : 1
b. Acid test ratio
Acid test ratio = (Current assets – Inventory) / Current liabilities = ($35,400 - $10,400) / $12,300 = 2.03 : 1
(c) Accounts receivable turnover.
Net sales = $109,000
Average accounts receivable = (20,900 + 23,200) / 2 = $22,050
Accounts receivable turnover = Net sales / Average accounts receivable = $109,000 / $22,050 = 4.94 times
(d) Inventory turnover.
Cost of goods sold = $59,500
Average inventory = (10,400 + 7,500) / 2 = $8,950
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory = $59,500 / $8,950 = 6.65 times
(e) Profit margin.
Net income = $14,300
Net sales = $109,000
Profit margin = Net income / Net sales = $14,300 / $109,000 = 0.1312, or 13.12%
(f) Asset turnover.
Net sales = $109,000
Average total assets = ($110,100 + $119,900) / 2 = $115,000
Asset turnover = Net sales / Average total assets = $109,000 / $115,000 = 0.95 times
(g) Return on assets.
Net income = $14,300
Average total assets = ($110,100 + $119,900) / 2 = $115,000
Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets = $14,300 / $115,000 = 0.1243, or 12.43%
(h) Return on common stockholders' equity
Net income = $14,300
Common stockholders' equity = Common stock + Retained earnings = $74,500 + $23,300 = $97,800
Return on common stockholders' equity = Net income / Common stockholders' equity = $14,300 / $97,800 = 0.1462 = 14.62%
(i) Debt to assets ratio
Total liabilities = Accounts payable = $12,300
Total assets = $110,100
Debt to assets ratio = Total liabilities / Total assets = $12,300 / $110,100 = 0.1117, or 11.17%
Our company makes and sells a single product at the selling price of $97 per unit. In January, we upgraded our manufacturing facility to increase capacity and reduce variable costs per unit (this significantly increased our fixed manufacturing costs). We now have the capacity to make 1,000 units per month. Over the next three months, we expect our production and sales to average 700 units per month. We recently received a take-it-or-leave-it offer for 100 units from a one-time customer. The customer offers to pay us $65 per unit. To help us evaluate this offer, our accounting staff provided the following information (identical for our regular sales and the special order): our normal absorption manufacturing cost per unit equals $50, and our variable selling cost per unit equals $15. Which of the following is correct?
a. We should reject the offer because the offered price is much lower than the normal selling price
b. We should accept the offer because it would reduce our excess capacity cost
c. We should reject the offer because it would reduce our ROI
d. We should accept the offer because it would increase our net operating income
e. Quantitatively, we are indifferent between accepting and rejecting the offer
Answer:
d. We should accept the offer because it would increase our net operating income
Explanation:
A differential analysis only includes relevant costs. This means that only costs that are affected by the special order are considered. In this case, variable costs are the only relevant costs, since fixed costs will occur regardless of the acceptance or rejection of the special order. This special order will increase the company's operating profits by ($65 - $15) x 100 = $5,000
During its first year of operations, Silverman Company paid $15,085 for direct materials and $10,200 for production workers' wages. Lease payments and utilities on the production facilities amounted to $9,200 while general, selling, and administrative expenses totaled $4,700. The company produced 6,050 units and sold 3,700 units at a price of $8.20 a unit. What was Silverman's net income for the first year in operation
Answer:
$4,550
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the product cost per unit
Product cost per unit = Total production costs / Units produced
= ($15,085 + $10,200 + $9,200) / 6,050 units
= $5.7 per unit
Cost of goods sold = $5.7 × 3,700 units
= $21,090
Net income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expenses
= ($8.2 × 3,700) - $21,090 - $4,700
= $30,340 - $21,090 - $4,700
= $4,550
Mesa County contracts with New Construct Inc. to build a courthouse. New Construct hires Odell to excavate the site. Odell’s work damages adjacent properties. Mesa files a suit against the excavator, who argues that the county is not named in his contract with New Construct. Most likely, the court will hold that Odell is:_________
a. not liable because Mesa is not named in Odell’s contract.
b. liable on the ground that Mesa is an incidental third-party beneficiary.
c. liable on the ground that Mesa is an intended third-party beneficiary.
d. not liable because Odell’s contract was with New Construct, not Mesa.
Answer:
c. liable on the ground that Mesa is an intended third-party beneficiary
Explanation:
In a contract, the third-party beneficiary is a business or a person that benefits from the agreement and the terms of the contract that is made between the two other parties. According to law, third-party beneficiary have certain rights which they can enforced if the contract is not fulfilled.
In the context, Mesa is a third party beneficiary. The Mesa County enters into a contract with New Construct Inc. to construct a court house. Now New Construct Inc. again hires the firm Odell to excavate the land site.
While excavating Odell damages few nearby properties, so Mesa County files a law suit against Odell. But Odell argues that Odell is not in agreement with Mesa County or have not entered into with any contract with the County, so Mesa cannot sue the excavator.
But the court hold that as Mesa County is the third party beneficiary of the contract and have certain rights, Odell is held liable for the loss and should compensate for the loss to the County.

Variable overhead rate variance $ (Click to select)UFNone
Variable overhead efficiency variance $ (Click to select)NoneUF
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1
Material price variance= (Standard Price-Actual Price) × Actual Qty
= (20.16 ÷ 3.2 - 84000 ÷ 14000) × 14000
= $4200 Favorable
Material Quantity variance= (Standard Qty -Actual Qty ) ×Standard Price
= (4000 ×3.2 - 14000) ×6.3
= $7560 Unfavorable
2
Labour rate variance= (Standard Rate-Actual Rate) ×Actual Hour
= (12870 ÷ 780-14000 ÷ 755) ×755
= $1542.50 Unfavorable
Labour efficiency variance= (Standard Hour -Actual Hour ) × Standard Rate
= (780 × 4000 ÷ 3900 - 755) × 16.50
= $742.50 Favorable
3
Variable Overhead rate variance= (Standard Rate-Actual Rate) × Actual Hour
= (2340 ÷ 780-7200 ÷ 755) × 755
= $4935 Unfavorable
Variable Overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Hour -Actual Hour ) × Standard Rate
= (780 × 4000 ÷ 3900 - 755) × 3
= $135 Favorable

You have deposited $1,200 into an account that will earn an interest rate of 8% compounded semiannually. How much will you have in this account at the end of 10 years
Answer:
$2,629.35
Explanation:
The amount in future for the dollar invested today is known as the Future Value (FV)
We can simply calculate the Future Value using a Financial Calculator as follows :
PV = - $1,200
PMT = $0
P/YR = 2
I = 8 %
N = 10 x 2 = 20
FV = ??
Therefore,
The Future Value (FV) will be $2,629.35
You will have $2,629.35 in this account at the end of 10 years.
At market interest rate level of 2%, a ten-year and a 30-year bond ( both with 8% coupon rates and semiannual payment ) are selling at the prices $1,541.37 and $2,348.65, respectively. If you expected that interest rate will jump to 10% from the current level, which bond is risker and which bond is more profitable if interest rate drop significantly
Answer:
30 year Bond , 30 year Bond
Explanation:
Market interest rate = 2%
Coupon rates for both ten-year bond and 30-year coupon bound = 8%
semi-annual payments : $1541.37 , $2348.65 respectively
Determine which bond is riskier
Assuming interest rate rise to 10%
Given that both both bonds have the same Coupon rate but the semiannually payments are different ( i.e. Ten year bond = $1541.37 , 30-year Bond = $2348.65 )
The riskier Bond will be the Riskier Bond , The more profitable Bond if the interest rate drop drastically will be 30 year Bond as well
The ________ paid for products and services goes by many names, like tuition for your education, rent for an apartment, interest on a bank credit card, and a premium for car insurance. Multiple Choice fee value cost price exchange rate
Answer:
price.
Explanation:
Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services. Thus, it refers to the amount of money a customer or consumer buying goods and services are willing to pay for the goods and services being offered. Also, the price of goods and services are primarily being set by the seller or service provider.
Generally, the price paid by consumers for products and services are referred to as by many names such as tuition for your education (school fee), rent for an apartment (house rent), interest on a bank credit card, and a premium for car insurance.
In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.
Additionally, one of the importance associated with the pricing of products is that, it improves the image of a business firm.
Even though Firm A's current ratio exceeds that of Firm B, Firm B's quick ratio might exceed that of A. However, if A's quick ratio exceeds B's, then we can be certain that A's current ratio is also larger than that of B. True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
If Firm A's current ratio exceeds that of Firm B, it is still possible that B's quick ratio is larger than A's. If A's quick ratio is larger than B's however, then there is still a possibility that B's current ratio can be larger than A's.
The current ratio is the Current Assets divided by Current liabilities. The Quick ratio is Current Assets less inventory divided by Current liabilities.
B's current ratio can therefor be larger than A's if it has more inventory than A such that when we calculate the current ratio of B, the extra inventory would give it a higher current ratio than A.

a) Suppose a country is able to produce a maximum of either 300 units of lumber or 100 units of rice. This country is currently allocating its labor resources to produce 75 units of lumber and 75 units of rice. To increase its lumber production by 6 units to 81, the country faces an opportunity cost of
Answer: 2 units of rice
Explanation:
Opportunity cost simply means the real cost of something else that we forgo or benefit lost. .
a) Based on the information given above, the opportunity cost of producing lumber with regards to the units of rice will be:
= 100/300
= 1/3 units of rice
This means that 1/3 unit of rice will be given up for every 1 unit of lumber
To increase its lumber production by 6 units, then the units of rice that'll be sacrificed will be:
= 6 × 1/3
= 2 units of rice
Therefore, country faces an opportunity cost of 2 units of rice.

1. A257's favorable variance of $138 was quantity variance as less hours were used when compared to the standard hours for the job.
= (Standard hours - Actual hours) * Standard rate = (216 - 210) * $23
= 138 F
2. A258 rush order with overtime at premium rates of pay
Direct labor rate variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) * Actual hours
= ($23 - $25) * 480 = $960 U
Direct labor quantity variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) * Standard Rate
= 464 - 480 * $23 = $368 U
Total variance = 1,328 U ($960 U + $368 U)
3. A259 more experienced replacement worker required on one shift
Direct labor rate variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) * Actual hours
= ($23 - $24.1) * 330 = $363 U
4. A260 done by a new trainee
Direct labor rate variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) * Actual hours
= ($23 - $21) * 110 = $220 F
Direct labor quantity variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) * Standard Rate
= (102 -110) * $23 = $184 U
Total variance = $220 F - $184 U = $36 F

Applications that integrate business activities across departmental boundaries are often referred to as _____________ planning systems.
Answer:
Enterprise resource.
Explanation:
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a business strategy process where organizations manage and integrate the main parts of their day-to-day business activities by using software applications.
The ERP software system is used to integrate planning, accounting, finance, marketing and human resources.
For instance, when an organization is replacing a payroll program that it developed in house, with the relevant subsystem of a commercial Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, It should be noted that a faulty migration of historical data from the old system to the new system represent the highest potential risk because you won't be able to measure and analyze performance.
Hence, software applications or programs that integrate all business activities across departmental boundaries such as marketing, procurement, customer relationship, sales, etc., are often referred to as enterprise resource planning systems.
On June 1, 2021, Dirty Harry Co. borrowed cash by issuing a 6-month noninterest-bearing note with a maturity value of $420,000 and a discount rate of 10%. Assuming straight-line amortization of the discount, what is the carrying value of the note as of September 30, 2021
Answer:
$413,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the carrying value of the note as of September 30, 2021
Carrying value=[$420,000 - ($420,000 .010*6/12)]+ [($420,000 .010*6/12)*4/6]
Carrying value=[$420,000-$21,000]+ ($21,000*4/6)
Carrying value=[$420,000-$21,000]+ $14,000
Carrying value=$399,000+ 14,000
Carrying value=$413,000
Therefore the carrying value of the note as of September 30, 2021 is $413,000

A firm has fixed costs of $1.2 million and depreciation of $1 million. At a sales level of $3.6 million, the variable costs of $2.304 million. What is the accounting break-even level of sales
Answer: 6.11 million
Explanation:
The accounting break-even level of sales will be calculated as:
= (depreciation + fixed costs) / (1 - (variable costs/sales))
= (1.2million + 1million) / [1 - (2.304million / 3.6million))
= 2.2 million / (1 - 0.64)
= 2.2million /0.36

What is the present value of a constant perpetuity of 25 per year where the required rate of return is 5%
Answer:
The present value of a constant perpetuity of 25 per year where the required rate of return is 5% is:
$500
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
A constant perpetuity = $1
Present value factor of a constant perpetuity for 25 per year at 5% is $1/0.002
Number of periods for the perpetuity per year = 25
Required rate of return = 5%
Rate of return per period = 5%/25 = 0.002
Therefore, the value of a constant perpetuity = $1/0.002
= $500
The $500 can be used to multiply any amount given obtain the total value of the perpetuity.
The present value of a constant perpetuity of 25 per year where the required rate of return is 5% is $500

what is the equivalent present amount of an eight year series of decreasing amaounts if the interest rate is 10% compounded annually, the first year amount is $20,000, and the rate of decrease is $800 per year
Answer: $93,876
Explanation:
The equivalent present amount of an 8year series of decreasing amounts when the interest rate is 10% compounded annually, the first year amount is $20,000, and the rate of decrease is $800 per year will be calculated thus:
PV = C / (1+r) ^ t
= 20,000/1.1 + 19,200/1.1² + 18,400/1.1³ + 17,600/1.1⁴ +16,800/1.1^5 + 16,000/1.1^6 + 15,200/1.1^7 + 14,400/1.1^8
= $93,876
Therefore, the equivalent present value is $93,876.

The following data were extracted from the income statement of Keever Inc.:
Current Year Previous Year
Sales $18,500,000 $20,000,000
Beginning inventories 940,000 860,000
Cost of goods sold 9,270,000 10,800,000
Ending inventories 1,120,000 940,000
Required:
Determine for each year (1) the inventory turnover and (2) the number of days' sales in inventory.
Answer:
current year 9
previous year = 12
2. current year = 40.56
previous year = 30.42
Explanation:
Inventory turnover is an example of an activity ratio
Activity ratios calculate the efficiency of performing daily task of a firm
Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory
Average inventory = (beginning inventory + ending inventory) / 2
the number of days' sales in inventory = number of days in a period / inventory turnover
Current year = (1,120,000 + 940,000) / 2 = 1,030.000
turnover = 9,270,000 / 1,030.000 = 9
365 / 9 =40.56
Previous year
Average inventory = (940,000 + 860,000) / 2 = 900,000
Inventory turnover = 10,800,000 / 900,000 = 12
365 / 12 = 30.42
