$400,000
Less: Variable expenses
($300,000)
Contribution margin
($100,000)
Less: Fixed cost
[400,000 - 300,000 - 10,000]
($90,000)
Net Operating income
$10,000
The correct answer is ; The total sales = $400,000
A $135 petty cash fund has cash of $18 and receipts of $120. The journal entry to replenish the account would include a:______
a. credit to Petty Cash for $120
b. credit to Cash for $102
c. debit to Cash for $120
d. credit to Cash Short and Over for $3
Answer:
Credit to cash short and over of $3
Explanation:
Petty cash account is used to settle little expenses of a business that will not require writing a cheque.
The petty cash account has a balance that must be maintained when it is replenished.
When the account is above its limit it is debited and cash over and short is credited.
When it is below it's limit it is credited back to its normal balance and cash over and short is debited.
In the scenario the petty cash account has a limit of $135
There was a balance of $18 and a cash inflows of $120 making a total of $138.
This is over its limit
The excess is 138 - 135 = $3
This excess is debited from petty cash account and credited to cash short and over account

C) more workers are willing to work as the market wage increases. D) the labor supply is fixed. E) there is a continuously increasing demand for labor.
Answer:
C) more workers are willing to work as the market wage increases.
Explanation:
As we see in the question that there is an increase in upward sloping of labor supply curve that means more and more workers are ready or willing to work in that case where the wages of the market increased
Therefore according to the options, the option C is correct as it mets the current situation and the same is to be considered
Hence, all other options are incorrect
Cosi Company uses a job order costing system and allocates its overhead on the basis of direct labor costs. Cosi expects to incur $900,000 of overhead during the next period, and expects to use 60,000 labor hours at a cost of $10.00 per hour. What is Cosi Company's overhead application rate
Answer:
150%
Explanation:
Calculation for overhead application rate
First step is to calculate the Total Direct labor cost
Total Direct Labor Cost = 60,000 hours * $10/hr Total Direct Labor Cost= $600,000
Last step is to calculate Overhead application rate
Overhead application rate = $900,000/$600,000
Overhead application rate = 1.5*100
Overhead application rate=150%
Therefore Cosi Company's overhead application rate is 150%
Janko Wellspring Inc. has a pump with a book value of $24,000 and a four-year remaining life. A new, more efficient pump, is available at a cost of $45,000. Janko can also receive $8,000 for trading in the old pump. The new pump will reduce variable costs by $10,000 per year over its four-year life. Should the pump be replaced?A. No, because the company will be $3,000 worse off in total.B. Yes, because income will increase by $3,000 per year.C. No, because income will decrease by $10,000 per year.D. No, Janko will record a loss of $16,000 if they replace the pump.E. Yes, because income will increase by $3,000 in total.
Answer: E. Yes, because income will increase by $3,000 in total.
Explanation:
If the Incremental benefit is positive then the pump should be replaced.
Incremental Benefit = Cost saving + cash received for trading in old pump - Cost of new pump
= (10,000 * 4) + 8,000 - 45,000
= $3,000
Over the four years, the income from the decision to replace the old pump will yield an income of $3,000.
On December 31, 2019 a company’s Accounts Receivable balance was $440,000. During the year the company recorded credit sales of $770,000 and cash collections of $820,000. In addition, the company wrote off $16,000 of accounts as uncollectible and reinstated and collected on an accounts receivable that was previously written off that totaled $3,000. The company uses the allowance method to account for its receivables.What is the effect of the accounting equation if the company fails to make the adjusting entry to record bad debt expense?
Answer: Option C - Assets are Overstated; No effects on liabilities: Equity is Overstated
Explanation:
When Bad debts are recorded, they will reduce the Accounts Receivable account because less money will be expected from debtors. Accounts Receivable is an asset account so it will be Overstated if bad debts are not recorded.
Equity will also be overstated because bad debts is an expense that is sent to the Income statement. If this expense is not deducted, the net income will be larger than it should be and when added to Equity it will overstate it.
4. Give two reasons why GDP is often not seen as the best measure of living standards.
Answer:
Different factors account to it.
Explanation:
Because many factors that contribute to people's happiness are not bought and sold, GDP is a limited tool for measuring standard of living. To understand it's limitations better, let's take a look at several factors that are not accounted for in GDP.
GDP does not account for leisure time. The US GDP per capita is larger than the GDP per capita of Germany, but does this prove that the standard of living in the United States is higher? Not necessarily since it is also true that the average US worker works several hundred hours more per year more than the average German worker. The calculation of GDP does not take German workers extra weeks of vacation into account.
GDP includes what is spent on environmental protection, healthcare, and education, but it does not include actual levels of environmental cleanliness, health, and learning. GDP includes the cost of buying pollution-control equipment, but it does not address whether the air and water are actually cleaner or dirtier. GDP includes spending on medical care, but it does not address whether life expectancy or infant mortality have risen or fallen. Similarly, GDP counts spending on education, but it does not address directly how much of the population can read, write, or do basic mathematics.
Which of the following statements is the most accurate? Sole proprietorships are well suited for people who want to own a business and share in its profits without taking an active role in management. Sole proprietorships are the least risky form of business ownership. Sole proprietorships must receive a state charter before they can legally conduct business. Sole proprietorships are taxed at the owner's personal tax rate.

Sole properietorship is easy to set up because the owner need not to register itself to state government, therefore, because of absence of governmental involvement, it is easy to set up or deconstruct sole proprietorship.
From the given options, the statement which is most accurate about a sole proprietorship is option D. The owner of sole proprietorship pays personal taxes on the profits earned by his/her business.
Therefore, option D is correct.

Which of the following is an example of internally caused behavior? An employee was laid off because the company was attempting to cut costs by laying off employees. An employee was late for a team meeting because of a heavy downpour. An employee could not come to work because he met with an accident. An employee could not attend an interview because of a delayed flight. An employee was fired from work because he violated a company policy.
Answer:
An employee was fired from work because he violated company policy
Explanation:
One of the factor that determine the behavior of people is the way the event arround them is interpreted. Those that can control things arround them usually take responsibility for what they do compare to set of people believing that situation arround them is beyond their control, which is explained in" attribution theory" by Fritz Heider. Internally caused behavior can be regarded as challenging behavioras a result of internal stimuli such as traits, pain and anxiety.
Out of the options given in the question only "An employee was fired from work because he violated a company policy" is an example of internally caused behavior, since the violation is on the path of the employee which is as a result of internal behavior known to him.

If the price elasticity of demand for used cars priced between $4,000 and $6,000 is -0.9 (using the mid-point method), what will be the percent change in quantity demanded when the price of a used car falls from $6,000 to $4,000
Answer: 36% increase in quantity demanded.
Explanation:
Price Elasticity shows the change in quantity demanded when there is a change in price.
Change in Quantity demanded = Price elasticity * Change in price.
Change in price using midpoint formula;
[tex]= \frac{New price - Old Price}{\frac{New Price + Old Price }{2} } \\\\= \frac{4,000 - 6,000}{\frac{4,000 + 6,000 }{2} } \\\\= \frac{-2,000}{5,000} \\\\= -0.4[/tex]
Change in Quantity demanded = -0.9 * -0.4
= 0.36
= 36% increase
When the price of THE used car falls from $6,000 to $4,000, the percent change in quantity demanded will be 36% increase.
Explanation:
Price Elasticity basically shows the change in quantity demanded when there is a change in price.
The formula for Change in Quantity demanded = Price elasticity * Change in price.
Change in price using midpoint formula = New price - Old price / (New price - Old price / 2)
Change in price using midpoint formula = 4000 - 6000 / (4000 - 6000/ 2)
Change in price using midpoint formula = -0.4
Change in Quantity demanded = -0.9 * -0.4
Change in Quantity demanded = 0.36
Change in Quantity demanded = 36% increase
In conclusion, the percent change in quantity demanded will be 36% increase.

A company just starting business made the following four inventory purchases in June: Date Number of Units Purchased Total Cost June 1 100 units $ 360 June 10 150 units 585 June 15 150 units 610 June 28 100 units 520 $2075 A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 240 units on hand. Using the FIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for June is
Answer:
COGS= $985.67
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Date Number of Units Purchased
June 1 100 units $360 ($3.6)
June 10 150 units 585 ($3.9)
June 15 150 units 610 ($4.067)
June 28 100 units 520 ($5.2)
A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 240 units on hand.
First, we need to calculate the number of units sold:
Units sold= total units - units in ending inventory
Units sold= 500 - 240= 260
To calculate the cost of goods sold under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory.
COGS= 100*3.6 + 150*3.9 + 10*4.067
COGS= $985.67
A semiannual coupon bond with face value of $1,000 has a coupon rate of 6% and matures in 16 years. The market-determined discount rate on this bond is 14%. What is the price of the bond?
Answer:
$1,125.30
Explanation:
The Price of the Bond is its Current/Trading price also known as the Present Value (PV). This is determined as follows :
Fv = $1,000
Pmt = $1,000 × 6% = $160
P/yr = 1
n = 16
i = 14%
PV = ?
Using the Financial calculator to enter the values as above, the Pv is $1,125.30.
Thus, the price of the bond is $1,125.30.
Preston Corp. is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20 percent debt, 20 percent preferred stock, and 60 percent common equity. Its bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sells for $1,100. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock which pays a 5.52 percent annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Preston's beta is 1.2, the risk-free rate is 3 percent, and the market risk premium is 5 percent. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. What is Preston's WACC
Answer:
Follows are the solution to this question:
Explanation:
[tex]\text{Equity expense = free risk rate+beta} \times \text{market risk premium}[/tex]
[tex]=3 \% + 1.2 \times 5 \% \\\\= 0.03 + 1.2 \times 0.05 \\\\= 0.03 +0.06 \\\\= 0.09\\\\=9 \%[/tex]
[tex]\text{Preferred inventory cost} = \frac{\text{annual dividend}}{( price - floation \ rate)}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{(100 \times 5.46 \%)}{(100-100 \times 5 \%)}\\\\=5.75 \%[/tex]
[tex]\text{Excel feature = RATE(nper, PMT, PV, FV)}[/tex]
[tex]=(RATE( \frac{20 \times 2,1000 \times 12 \%}{2,-1100,1000})) \times 2 \\\\=10.77 \%[/tex]
[tex]\text{Debt expense after tax}= 10.77 \% \times (1-40 \%)[/tex]
WACC from Preston = Capital weight [tex]\times[/tex] Capital equity costs+cost of common stock [tex]\times[/tex] cost of common shares [tex]\times[/tex] debt cost [tex]\times[/tex] (1-tax rate)
[tex]=60 \% \times 9 \%+20 \% \times 5.75 \%+20 \% \times 6.46 \% \\\\=7.84 \%[/tex]
CF Manufacturing purchased inventory for $5,300 and also paid a $280 freight in bill 2/10, net 30. CF Manufacturing returned 60% of the goods to the seller and paid the bill within the discount period. What is the final inventory cost
Answer: $2357.6
Explanation:
Purchased Inventory = $5300
Less: purchase return = 60% × $5300 = 0.6 × $5300 = $3180
Amount = $2120
Less: purchase discount = 2% × $2120 = 0.02 × $2120 = $42.4
Amount = $2077.6
Add: Freight in: $280
Final Inventory cost = $2357.6
Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $425,000 to $445,500 and would decrease the current variable costs of $60 by $15 per unit. The selling price of $100 is not expected to change. Forrester's current break-even sales are $1,140,000 and current break-even units are 11,400. If Forrester purchases this new equipment, the revised break-even point in dollars would be:
Answer:
Break-even point (dollars)= $810,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $445,500
Unitary variable cost= $45
Selling price= $100
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 445,500 / [(100 - 45) / 100]
Break-even point (dollars)= $810,000

The difference between total factory overhead cost incurred during a period and the total standard factory overhead cost assigned to production of the period is the:______________.
A) Flexible-budget variance.
B) Production-volume variance.
C) Total factory overhead variance.
D) Overhead efficiency variance.
E) Total overhead spending variance.
Answer: C. Total factory overhead variance
Explanation:
The difference between total factory overhead cost incurred during a period and the total standard factory overhead cost assigned to production of the period is the total factory overhead variance.
Flexible budget variance is the difference that occurs between the results that are gotten by the flexible budget model and the actual results gotten.
Production volume variance is the difference that occurs between the budgeted production volume for a particular company and the actual volume of goods produced.
The correct option is C.
"A company manufactures a product using machine cells. Each cell has a design capacity of 250 units per day and an effective capacity of 230 units per day. At present, actual output averages 200 units per cell, but the manager estimates that productivity improvements soon will increase output to 229 units per day. Annual demand is currently 70,000 units. It is forecasted that within two years, annual demand will triple. How many cells will the company require to satisfy predicted demand under these conditions? Assume 243 workdays per year."
Answer:
Number of cells needed = 4
Explanation:
The current output averages 200 units per cell, but the output will soon increase to 229 units per cell per day due to productivity improvements.
The current demand is 70000 units per year and it will triple in 2 years. Hence annual demand to be fulfilled is 70,000*3 = 210,000 units per year.
Assuming 243 workdays per year
Hence, Output per day * 243 = 210000
Output per day = 210000 / 243
Output per day = 864.20
As each cell will produce 229 units per day, number of cells needed will be 864.20 / 229
Hence, Number of cells needed = 4
Southern Atlantic Distributors began operations in January 2021 and purchased a delivery truck for $40,000. Southern Atlantic plans to use straight-line depreciation over a four-year expected useful life for financial reporting purposes. For tax purposes, the deduction is 50% of cost in 2021, 30% in 2022, and 20% in 2023.

Northeast Office used 50 letters for correspondence.
Cost = 8.75 * 50
= $437.50
= $438
The value of what a Canadian-owned Tim Hortons produces in South Korea is included in the Canadian ________ and the South Korean ________
Answer: GNP; GDP
Explanation:
The value of what a Canadian-owned Tim Hortons produces in South Korea is included in the Canadian GNP and the South Korean GDP.
Gross National Product refers to the total amount of domestic production and foreign production that can be attributed to the residents of a nation.
This means that GNP includes the GDP and income earned by residents of the country in other countries but less the income earned by foreigners in the country. For Canada therefore, the value of goods produced by the Canadian company in South Korea will be added to the GNP.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on the other hand is simply the total final value of goods and services produced in a country regardless of if it was foreigners or residents doing the production. The value of what a Canadian-owned Tim Hortons produces in South Korea is therefore included in South Korea's GDP.

Business-process outsourcing (BPO) is a type of outsourcing that consists of contracting operations and responsibilities of a specific business process to a third-party service provider. Such outsourcing generally began with manufacturing firms outsourcing their supply chain but has grown into a much wider range of processes, including marketing, finance, sales, and accounting. According to a recent Forbes article, the revenue of the global outsourced services industry rose from $45 billion in 2000 to nearly $100 billion in 2012. An article in BusinessWeek suggested that BPO can save end users anywhere from 15 to 85 percent. International BPO service providers are particularly attractive since offshore labor offers an additional 25 to 30 percent cost savings. Furthermore, approximately 25 percent of the cost savings results from BPO firms’ proprietary products. The remaining 10 to 30 percent in cost reduction accrues from consolidated operations. Suppose you are the manager of a U.S.-based company and must decide whether to outsource your human resources department. Based on the above information and your study, please outline arguments supporting and opposing a decision to outsource this function of your business. Please explain from a purely business standpoint, any issues that might arise from contracting with an international-based versus U.S.-based BPO service firm? (Chapter 6, page 199)
