Cameroon Corp. manufactures and sells electric staplers for $16 each. If 10,000 units were sold in December, and management forecasts 4% growth in sales each month, the number of units of electric stapler sales budgeted for March should be:_______

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

= $173,056

Explanation:

The computation of the number of units of electric stapler sales budgeted for March is shown below:-

February = 10,000 + (4% × 10,000)

= 10,400

March = 10,400 + (4% × 10,400)

= 10816

and finally

The Budget sale for stapler for the month of March = 10,816 × 16

= $173,056

As a result of this dividend, the: A) the current dividend yield is 51.66% B) retained earnings will increase by $245,250. C) the current dividend payout ratio is 3.497% D) earnings per share will increase to $3.20. E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.

Answers

Answer: E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.

Explanation:

Stock prices generally decrease in price by the price of the dividend on ex-dividend date.

This means that this stock will reduce to:

= 31.17 - 1.09

= $30.08

Price to Earnings ratio = Stock price/ Earnings per share

= 30.08/2.11

= $14.26

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:

Answers

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

4. Give two reasons why GDP is often not seen as the best measure of living standards.


Answers

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.

Farris Corporation, which has only one product, has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $ 78 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 8,800 Units sold 8,700 Units in ending inventory 100 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 18 Direct labor $ 10 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 4 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 5 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $255,200 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 87,000 What is the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing

Answers

Answer:

$61

Explanation:

The computation of unit product cost for the month under absorption costing is shown below:-

Unit product cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable Manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing cost

= $18 + $10 + $4 + ($255,200 ÷ 8,800)

= $61

Therefore for computing the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing we simply applied the above formula.

What is the overhead cost per unit of each model? (Round activity rate and average OH cost per unit answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the activity rate for each activity:

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

Handling materials= 625,000/100,000= $6.25 per part

Inspecting product= 900,000/1,500= $600 per batch

Processing= 105,000/700= $150 per order

Paying suppliers= 175,000/500=$350 per invoice

Insuring the factory= 300,000/40,000= $7.5 per square feet

Designing packaging= 75,000/2= $37,500 per model

Now, we can allocate overhead to each model:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Deluxe:

Handling materials= 6.25*20,000= 125,000

Inspecting product= 600*250= 150,000

Processing= 150*50= 7,500

Paying suppliers= 350*50= 17,500

Insuring the factory= 7.5*10,000= 75,000

Designing packaging= 37,500*1= 37,500

Total allocated overhead= $412,500

Basic:

Handling materials= 6.25*30,000= 187,500

Inspecting product= 600*100= 160,000

Processing= 150*20= 3,000

Paying suppliers= 350*10= 3,500

Insuring the factory= 7.5*7,000= 52,500

Designing packaging= 37,500*1= 37,500

Total allocated overhead= $444,000

Finally, the unitary overhead:

Deluxe= 412,500/10,000= $41.25

Basic= 444,000/30,000= $14.8

Pauley Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Pauley expects to sell 22,000 units and wants a target profit of $16 per unit. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 18 Variable administrative cost per unit 13 Total fixed overhead 20,500 Total fixed administrative 36,700 Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used

Answers

Answer:

variable markup % = 60%

Explanation:

total units sold 22,000

total costs associated with selling the 22,000 units:

variable production costs $18 x 22,000 = $396,000

variable S&A costs $13 x 22,000 = $286,000

fixed overhead = $20,500

fixed S&A = $36,700

total costs = $739,200

total cost per unit = $33.60

selling price = $33.60 + $16 = $49.60

markup percentage = [(sales price - unit cost) / unit cost] x 100

the total markup % = [49.60 - 33.60) / 33.60] x 100 = 47.62%

but since we are going to calculate the markup percentage solely based on variable costs, then:

variable cost per unit = $31

selling price = $49.60

the variable markup % = [49.60 - 31) / 31] x 100 = 60%

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.

Lake Sales had $2,200,000 in sales last month. The contribution margin ratio was 30% and operating profits were $180,000. What is Lake's break-even sales volume

Answers

Answer:

$1,600,000

Explanation:

Sales

$2,200,000

Contribution margin ratio

30%

$660,000

Sales $2,200,000

Contribution margin $660,000

Operating profit $180,000

Fixed cost = Contribution margin - Operating profit

= $660,000 - $180,000

= $480,000

Break even sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio

= $480,000 / 30%

= $1,600,000

Therefore, Lake's break even sales volume is $1,600,000

d. $24,007.09

Answers

Answer:

1. a. 4.081%

2. c. $23,536.36

Explanation:

1. Periodic rate=(4.4%/4) = 1.1%

EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1

where m=compounding periods

= (1+0.044/4)^4-1

= 1.011^4 - 1

= 1.04473133864 - 1

= 0.04473133864

= 4.47%

EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1

where m=compounding periods

=(1+0.04/365)^365-1

= (1+0.00010958904)^365 - 1

= 1.00010958904^365 - 1

= 1.04080849272 - 1

= 0.04080849272

= 4.081%

2. A=P(1+r/365)^365*n

where  A=future value, P=present value, r=rate of interest, n=time period.

= 22000*(1+9%/365)^(9/12*365)

= $23,536.36

You will invest $25,000 in an ice cream shop your sister is starting. You expect to triple your investment in six years. What is the rate of return that you have in mind? (Rounded to the nearest percent.)

Answers

Answer:

r = 20.09%

Explanation:

we can use the future value formula to calculate the expected rate of return:

future value = present value x (1 + r)ⁿ

future value = $25,000 x 3 = $75,000present value = $25,000n = 6

$75,000 = $25,000 x (1 + r)⁶

(1 + r)⁶ = $75,000 / $25,000 = 3

⁶√(1 + r)⁶ = ⁶√3

1 + r = 1.2009

r = 0.2009 = 20.09%

a. 10.3%
b. 24.0%
c. 66.7%
d. 23.0%

Answers

Answer:

a. 10.3%

Explanation:

PF of Binomial distribution is given as Pr.(x=x) = nCxP^x(1-p)^(n-x)

P = 0.24, n= 55, x =15 Note: C = Combination

Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)(55-15)

Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)^40

Pr.(x = 15) = 0.1026

Pr.(x = 15) = 10.26%

Pr.(x = 15) = 10.3%

Dr. Bob Jackson owns a parcel of land that a local farmer has offered to rent from Dr. Bob for the next 10 years. The farmer has offered to pay $20,000 today or an annuity of $3,200 at the end of each of the next 10 years. Which pay-ment method should Dr. Jackson accept if his required rate of return is 10 percent

Answers

Answer:

Dr. Jackson should accept the $20,000 paid today

Explanation:

you must analyse the present value of both payment options:

the present value of the $20,000 paid today is exactly $20,000the present value of the annuity = $3,200 x 6.1446 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 10  periods) = $19,662.72

Since the present value of the immediate cash payment is higher than the annuity payment, Bob should choose that offer.

CDB stock is currently priced at $85. The company will pay a dividend of $5.69 next year and investors require a return of 11.6 percent on similar stocks. What is the dividend growth rate on this stock?

Answers

Answer:

4.91%

Explanation:

CDB stock is currently priced at $85

The company will pay a dividend of $5.69

The required return is 11.6%

There for the dividend growth rate on this stock can be calculated as follows

11.6/100= (5.69/85) + growth rate

0.116= 0.0669 + growth rate

0.116 - 0.0669 = growth rate

0.0491 × 100 = growth rate

Growth rate = 4.91%

Answer and Explanation:

A. Given that Thrifty Nickels Assets fair value and liabilities are given by $100000 and $70000 respectively(we do not use the book value in calculating goodwill here) and Acquisition value is $230000

Goodwill = purchase price -net assets

Since we know purchase price =$230000

We calculate net assets= total assets -total liabilities

Total assets =$100000

Total liabilities =$70000

Net assets=$100000-$70000=$30000

We substitute in goodwill formula

Goodwill=$230000-$30000=$200000

Therefore goodwill =$200000

B. We journalize entries for the acquisition in Deca's books as follows :

Debit Assets $100000

Debit Goodwill $200000

Credit liabilities $70000

Credit cash $230000

We debit assets since it received and increased by $100000,we debit goodwill since it also received and increased by $200000. We credit liabilities since it also increased by $70000 from the acquisition (liabilities accounts are credited). Cash was spent and therefore is credited since it reduced by $230000

Answers

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

Gifts are only taxed when their fair market value is higher than $15,000. Any gifts made to your spouse are not taxable. Gift taxes are calculated on a  per person base, as long as they do not exceed the lifetime exemption (which is $11.58 million).

The tuition costs of her niece are not taxable since they are less than $12,000. The stocks given to his wife are not taxable either. The only taxable gift is the land given to his sister which had a FMV of $25,000. The taxable amount = $25,000 - $15,000 = $10,000

The expected return on the market portfolio is 12%, and the relevant risk-free rate is 4.2%. What is the equity premium?

Answers

Answer:

7.8%

Explanation:

The expected return on the market portfolio is 12 percent

The risk free rate is 4.2 percent

Therefore the equity premium can be calculated as follow

= expected return - risk free rate

= 12% - 4.2%

= 7.8%

Hence the equity premium is 7.8%

Jessica and Robert have two young children. They have $7,000 of qualified child care expenses and an AGI of $22,000 in 2019. What is their allowable child and dependent care credit considering their pre-credit tax liability

Answers

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

The computation of the their allowable child and dependent care credit is shown below:

In the case when the income is below $35,000 than full 35% would be allowed

But the qualified child expense would be limited to $6,000

So, here the amount would be

= $6,000 × 35%

= $1,860

Already there is a pre credit tax liability so $0 should be considered as it would not received any credit

Bob has been investing $4,000 in stock at the end of every year for the past 8 years. If the account is currently worth $45,000, what was his annual return on this investment?a. 10.61%b. 10.91%c. 8.81%d. 9.55%e. 9.07%

Answers

Answer:

d. 9.55%

Explanation:

we can use the future value of an annuity formula to calculate Bob's annual return:

future value = annual contribution x FV annuity factor

future value = $45,000

annual contribution = $4,000

FV annuity factor = ?

FV annuity factor = future value / annual contribution = $45,000 / $4,000 = 11.25

FV annuity factor = [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1] / i

11.25 = [(1 + i)⁸ - 1] / i

11.25i = (1 + i)⁸ - 1

solving this problem is really complicated, but there is a much simple way to do it:

e) 11.25 x 0.0907 = (1 + 0.0907)⁸ - 1

1.020375 ≠ 1.0028

d) 11.25 x 0.0955 = (1 + 0.0955)⁸ - 1

1.0744 = 1.0744 ⇒ this option is correct

There had also been a very strange custom, whose origin was unknown, of marching every Sunday morning past a boar's skull which was nailed to a post in the garden. This, too, would be suppressed, and the skull had already been buried. His visitors might have observed, too, the green flag which flew from the masthead.
