ABC Company makes 40,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The per unit product cost of this part is shown below:
Direct materials = $15.30
Direct labor = 27.40
Variable overhead 2.10
Fixed overhead = 24.70
Total = $69.50
An outside supplier has offered to sell ABC Company 40,000 units of this part a year for $66.10 per unit. If ABC Company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make this part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin that could be earned on this other product would be $100,000 per year. If ABC Company accepts the outside supplier's offer, $21.90 of the fixed overhead cost being applied to the part would be eliminated. The remaining amount would continue to be incurred and would be allocated to the company's remaining products.
Calculate the selling price per unit charged by the outside supplier that would make ABC Company economically indifferent between making and buying the part. Enter your answer with two | places after the decimal point (i.e., $78.90)
Answer:
ABC Company
The selling price that the outside supplier would charge ABC Company to make it economically indifferent between making and buying the part is:
= $90.50
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Required annual quantity of the part = 40,000 units
Outside supplier's price per unit = $66.10
Total savings = 24.40
Total price for ABC to be indifferent = $90.50
Savings from outside supply:
Additional contribution ($100,000/40,000) = $2.50
Eliminated fixed costs = $21.90
Total savings = $24.40
b) ABC Company would be indifferent and equally satisfied if the outside supplier charges it $90.50 or it makes the part at a per-unit cost of $69.50 while it loses a benefit or savings (otherwise called opportunity cost) of $24.40.
Suppose that Boeing Corporation exported a Boeing 747 to Lufthansa and billed €10 million payable in one year. The money market interest rates and foreign exchange rates are given as follows: Picture Assume that Boeing sells a currency forward contract of €10 million for delivery in one year, in exchange for a predetermined amount of U.S. dollar. Which of the following is (or are) true? On the maturity date of the contract Boeing will: (i) have to deliver €10 million to the bank (the counterparty of the forward contract) (ii) take delivery of $14.6 million (iii) have a zero net euro exposure (iv) have a profit, or a loss, depending on the future changes in the dollar-euro exchange rate, from this German (euro currency zone) sale Group of answer choices (i) and (iv) (ii) and (iv) (ii), (iii), and (iv) (i), (ii), and (iii)
Answer:
All Choices (i) (ii) and (iii) except (iv) are correct.
Explanation:
Solution:
Choices (i) (ii) and (iii) are correct in this question.
As we know that, it is a forward contract at the time of maturity so, Boeing 747 will have to deliver 10 million euros to the bank as per the forward contract obligation (fulfills the choice (i)). Furthermore, with forward currency, after selling 10 million euro worth of contract, Boeing 747 will take delivery at 14.6 million dollars which is in US dollars as currency exchange (fulfills the choice (ii)). Hence, after maturity it will not have any exposure to euro (fulfills the choice (iii)).
Hence, All Choices (i) (ii) and (iii) except (iv) are correct.

One year ago, Deltona Motor Parts deposited $17,500 in an investment account for the purpose of buying new equipment three years from today. Today, it is adding another $21,000 to this account. The company plans on making a final deposit of $13,000 to the account one year from today. How much will be available when it is ready to buy the equipment, assuming the account pays 5.5 interest
Answer:
$58,445.13
Explanation:
Calculation for How much will be available when it is ready to buy the equipment, assuming the account pays 5.5 interest
Using this formula
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
Let plug in the formula
First deposit= 17,500*(1.055^4)
First deposit= $19,316.73
Second deposit=21 ,000*(1.055^3)
Second deposit= $24,659.07
Third deposit= 13,000*(1.055^2)=
Third deposit=$14,469.33
Total= $58,445.13
Therefore How much will be available when it is ready to buy the equipment, assuming the account pays 5.5 interest is $58,445.13

On its previous balance sheet, at 12/31/2019, the company had reported $555,000 of retained earnings. No shares were repurchased during 2020. How much in dividends did Heaton pay during 2020?
a. $47,381
b. $49,875
c. $57,881
d. $55,125
e. $52,500
Answer:
e. $52,500
Explanation:
Beginning balance of retained earnings= $555,000
Net earning for the period=$172,500
Closing retained earnings balance for the period: $675,000
Closing retained earning =Beginning balance + net earnings - dividend
$675000 = $555,000 +$172,500- Dividends
$675000 = $727,500 - Dividends
Dividends = $727,500 - $675,000
Dividends =$52,500

Based on past experience, Maas Corp. (a U.S.-based company) expects to purchase raw materials from a foreign supplier at a cost of 1,000,000 francs on March 15, 2021. To hedge this forecasted transaction, on December 15, 2020, the company acquires a call option to purchase 1,000,000 francs in three months. Maas selects a strike price of $0.58 per franc when the spot rate is $0.58 and pays a premium of $0.005 per franc. The spot rate increases to $0.584 at December 31, 2020, causing the fair value of the option to increase to $7,500. By March 15, 2021, when the raw materials are purchased, the spot rate has climbed to $0.59, resulting in a fair value for the option of $10,000. The raw materials are used in assembling finished products, which are sold by December 31, 2021, when Maas prepares its annual financial statements.

2. Grocers Absorb Rise in Food Prices to Keep Customers From Straying Dec. 17, 2017 7:00 a.m.
ET: Retailers hold line on prices, fearing they will lose business to discounters and new rivals online
Food costs are ticking up after a multiyear glut of many staples. But consumers aren't paying
much more yet because grocers, discounters and online retailers are all holding down prices to win
business. Many grocers are investing in e-commerce operations to keep up with Amazon.com Inc., which
has slashed prices on products including avocados, organic milk and chicken since it acquired Whole
Foods Market this summer. "Price competition is getting more severe," said Kemper Isely, co-president of
the Colorado-based Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage Inc., a health-food chain that competes with
Whole Foods in the West. The chain has cut prices this year in part to try to beat Whole Foods discounts.
Considering grocers, how can you apply price elasticity of demand to this situation?
Your company manufactures and sells a variety of personal care products such as hair dryers and curling irons. Every hair dryer is properly labeled and contains safety precautions against misuse. Patrick purchases an SF9000 hair dryer from your company website. After a month of use where the hair dryer functions properly, Patrick accidentally drops it in water causing him an electric shock. Patrick sues your company for breach of the implied warranty of merchantability. Discuss whether the implied warranty of merchantability exists for this product and whether it has been violated in this situation.
Answer:
Product Implied Warranty
According to the Uniform Commercial Code, a product warranty guarantees that a product will work when used for its intended purposes. There are two key types of implied warranties: merchantability and fitness. The implied warranty of merchantability states that a product will meet reasonable expectations of the buyer. The implied warranty of fitness means that the product will meet the buyer's intended use.
Based on the above, we can conclude that the implied warranty of merchantability actually exists for the hair dryer. However, Patrick clearly violated it in this situation through the accident of dropping it in water.
Having thus violated the warranty, he cannot reasonably recover any damages from the company.
Explanation:
a) Facts of the case:
1. Every hair dryer is properly labeled and contains safety precautions against misuse.
2. The SF9000 hair dryer that Patrick purchased functioned properly for a month.
3. Patrick accidentally drops the hair dryer in water, causing him an electric shock.
4. Patrick sues for breach of the implied warranty of merchantability.

Analyze Life Force Fitness, Inc.
Life Force Fitness, Inc., assembles and sells treadmills. Activity-based product information for each treadmill is as follows:
Activity Activity-Base Usage (hrs. per unit) X Activity Rate per Hour = Activity Cost
Motor assembly 1.50 $20 $30.00
Final assembly 1.00 18 18.00
Testing 0.25 22 5.50
Rework 0.40 22 8.80
Moving 0.20 15 3.00
Activity cost per unit $65.30
All of the activity costs are related to labor. Management must remove $2.00 of activity cost from the product in order to remain competitive.
Rework involves disassembling and repairing a unit that fails testing. Not all units require rework, but the average is 0.40 hours per unit. Presently, the testing is done on the completed assembly; but much of the rework has been related to motors, which can be tested independently prior to adding the motor to the treadmill during final assembly. Thus, motor issues can be diagnosed and solved without having to disassemble the complete treadmill. This change will reduce the average rework per unit by one-quarter.
Determine the new activity cost per unit under the rework improvement scenario. Round your answer to 2 decimal place.
Answer:
63.10
Explanation:
The computation of the new activity cost per unit is shown below:
Particulars Activity-Base Usage Activity rate
Activity (hrs. per unit) per Hour Activity Cost
Motor assembly 1.5 20.00 30.00
Final assembly 1.00 18.00 18.00
Testing 0.25 22.00 5.50
Rework 0.30 22.00 6.60
(0.40- 0.40 ÷ 4)
Moving 0.20 15.00 3.00
Activity cost per unit 63.10
Activity-based costing is one of the ways under cost accounting for the determination of the costs of units or products based upon the types of activities involved in producing the goods. It determines the unit cost of the product by taking the proportional ratio of each activity charged over the product.
The new activity cost per unit is $63.10.
The new activity cost per unit is determined as per the existing activity cost. All the costs per unit will remain the same while the activity usage will also remain the same except for the rework activity.
In the context of the given scenario, the rework cost will be reduced by $2, so it will change from 0.4 to 0.3.
The computation of the new activity cost per unit is shown in the image attached below.

The ACME manufacturing company is weighing its options to source Component X. Supplier A would cost $3000 per order plus $2.50 for each unit ordered. If ACME buys component X from Supplier B, it would cost $6.00 per unit. ACME also has the option to buy X from Supplier C that charges $5.00 per unit, but requires buyers to pay for a minimum of 400 units (even if they require less than 400). Shipping costs are the same for all suppliers. Select all true statements about sourcing Component X.
Question Completion:
Since the options are not provided, it is assumed that ACME requires 2,000 units of Component X monthly. Which supplier should the company choose?
Answer:
ACME Manufacturing Company
The supplier that should be chosen is:
Supplier A.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Quantity of component X required monthly = 2,000 units
Cost of buying from supplier A = $3,000 + ($2.50 * 2,000) = $8,000
Cost of buying from supplier B = $6 * 2,000 = $12,000
Cost of buying from supplier C = $5 * 2,000 = $10,000
b) This cost decision depends on the quantity of component X required by ACME manufacturing. If the quantity were to be less than or equal to 1,100 units, another supplier other than supplier A might be preferred. Again, if there are other considerations apart from cost, supplier A might not be chosen. The implication is that the choice of a supplier for a component depend on many factors.

The president of State University wants to forecast student enrollments for this academic year based on the following historical data: Year Enrollments 5 Years ago 15,000 4 Years ago 16,000 3 Years ago 18,000 2 Years ago 20,000 Last Year 21,000 What is the forecast for this year using trend-adjusted (double) smoothing with alpha
Answer:
19,500
Explanation:
Calculation for the Forecast for this year
First step is to calculate the Forecast for last year
Forecast for last year= [(1 - 0.5 ) × 16,000 ) + ( 0.5 × 20,000)]
Forecast for last year= [(0.5 × 16,000 ) + ( 0.5 × 20,000)]
Forecast for last year= 8,000 + 10,000
Forecast for last year= 18,000
Now let calculate the Forecast for this year
Forecast for this year= [(1 - 0.5 ) × 18, 000 ) + ( 0.5 × 21,000)]
Forecast for this year= [(0.5 × 18, 000 ) + ( 0.5 × 21,000)]
Forecast for this year= 9,000 + 10,500
Forecast for this year= 19,500
Therefore the Forecast for this year will be 19,500
Apisco Tiger Inc. has annual cost of goods sold of $41,700, interest expense of $960, general and administrative expenses of $8,800, dividends paid of $2,170, depreciation of $1,400, and a tax rate of 21 percent. What is the firm's taxable income if it added $3,840 to retained earnings during the year
Answer:
the taxable income is $7,607.59
Explanation:
The computation of the taxable income is shown below:
Net income after tax is
= Dividend paid + Retained earnings
= $2,170 + $3,840
= $6,010
Now Taxable income is
= Net income ÷ (1 - tax rate)
= $6,010 ÷ (1 - 0.21)
= $7,607.59
Hence, the taxable income is $7,607.59
Beachballs, Inc., expects abnormally high earnings for the next three years due to the forecast of unusually hot summers. After the 3-year period, their growth will level off to its normal rate of 6%. Dividends and earnings are expected to grow at 20% for years 1 and 2 and 15% in year 3. The last dividend paid was $1.00. If an investor requires a 10% return on Beachballs, the price she is willing to pay for the stock is closest to:
Answer: $36.50
Explanation:
The price she will be willing to be paid according to the Dividend Discount model is calculated by finding the present value of the future dividends and the terminal value.
Dividend year 1 = 1 * (1 + 20%) = $1.20
Dividend year 2 = 1.20 * (1 + 20%) = $1.44
Dividend year 3 = 1.44 * (1 + 15%) = $1.656
Terminal value = Dividend in year 4 / (required return - growth rate)
= (1.656 * (1 + 6%)) / ( 10% - 6%)
= $43.884
[tex]Price = \frac{1.2}{(1 + 0.10)} + \frac{1.44}{(1 + 0.10)^{2} } + \frac{1.656}{(1 + 0.10)^{3} } + \frac{43.884}{(1 + 0.10)^{3} }\\\\= 36.4959\\\\= 36.50[/tex]
= $36.50

The market price of a security is $74. Its expected rate of return is 20.2%. The risk-free rate is 3% and the market risk premium is 6.5%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)
Answer:
The market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged) will be $44.10.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:
The market price of a security is $74. Its expected rate of return is 20.2%. The risk-free rate is 3% and the market risk premium is 6.5%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)
Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity.
Explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Since the correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged), it implies that beta and also the risk premium will also double.
From the question, we can obtain:
Current risk premium = Expected rate of return - Market risk premium = 20.2% - 6.5% = 13.70%
As the current risk premium will double, we have:
New risk premium = Current risk premium * 2 = 13.70% * 2 = 27.40%
Also, we have:
New discount rate = New risk premium + Market risk premium = 27.40% + 6.5% = 33.90%
Since it is assumed that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity, the dividend can therefore e calculated as follows:
Dividend = Current market price * Current expected rate of return = $74 * 20.2% = $14.95
The new market price of the security can now be calculated as follows:
New market price of the security = Dividend / New discount rate = $14.95 / 33.90% = $44.10
Therefore, the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged) will be $44.10.
A merchant plans to sell two models of home computers at costs of $250 and $400, respectively. The $250 model yields a profit of $45 and the $400 model yields a profit of $50. The merchant estimates that the total monthly demand will not exceed 250 units. Find the number of units of each model that should be stocked in order to maximize profit. Assume that the merchant does not want to invest more than $70,000 in computer inventory. (See Exercise 21 in Section 9.2.)
Answer:
That is there is maximum profit when 250 units of $250 model computer and 50 units of $400 model computer is stocked.
Explanation:
Let x represent the number of $250 model and let y represent the number of $400 model. Since the total monthly demand will not exceed 250 units, hence:
x + y < 250 (1)
Also the merchant does not want to invest more than $70,000, hence:
250x + 400y < 70000 (2)
x, y ≥ 0
Plotting the equations using geogebra online graphing tool. The solution to the problem is at (0,0), (200, 50), (250,0), (0, 175).
The profit equation is:
Profit = 45x + 50y
At (0,0); Profit = 45(0) + 50(0) = 0
At (250,0); Profit = 45(250) + 50(0) = $11250
At (0,175); Profit = 45(0) + 50(175) = 8750
At (200,50); Profit = 45(200) + 50(50) = $11500
Therefore the maximum profit is at (200, 50). That is there is maximum profit when 250 units of $250 model computer and 50 units of $400 model computer is stocked.
1. For financial accounting purposes, what is the total amount of product costs incurred to make 21,750 units
Answer: $450,225
Explanation:
Product costs = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead
= (21,750 * 7.80) + (21,750 * 4.80) + (21,750 * 2.30) + (21,750 * 5.80)
= 169,650 + 104,400 + 50,025 + 126,150
= $450,225
Wat is accounting in economics
Answer:
Accounting and economics both involve plenty of number-crunching. But accounting is a profession devoted to recording, analyzing, and reporting income and expenses, while economics is a branch of the social sciences that is concerned with the production, consumption, and transfer of resources.

Your boss approaches you in mid-December and requests that you pay certain employees their gross pay amount as if there were no deductions as their year-end bonuses. None of the employees have reached the Social Security wage base for the year. Required: What is the gross-up amount for each of the following employees
Answer:
The gross up amount for each employee is $4,500.
Explanation:
Social security wage base is a amount of tax on the salary which is used as a social security at the old age. The amount is determined based on a person's salary. The employees will have no deduction from their salary as they do are not eligible for social security wage base. The year end bonus will be the gross which is paid to the employees.
Act Now!, an organization devoted to voting rights, applied for a permit to protest the closing of polling places in poor neighborhoods. Genevieve, the head of the organization, wanted the protest to be on the lawn of the county courthouse. The county denied the permit on grounds that it would prevent people from accessing the courthouse. If Act Now! challenges this action in court, it will be reviewed by the judge using:___________
a) strict scrutiny.
b) rational basis scrutiny.
c) intermediate scrutiny.
d) no particular form of scrutiny (none is required in this situation)
Answer:
c) intermediate scrutiny.
Explanation:
In this particular scenario this will be reviewed by the judge using intermediate scrutiny. In this review the court will decide whether or not the case helps the government and/or the people in any way. The court case interests must further the interests of the government or people in the same way for it to pass the review. If the court case passes the review it will be reassessed and may be voted upon differently depending on the other details at hand.
The ACE Equity Fund has an expected return E[r] of 11.830% and the ZQR Bond Fund has an expected return E[r] of 6.690%. A portfolio comprised of 3% ACE and 97% ZQR would have an expected return of __________%. (percent, rounded three places after decimal)
Answer:
The answer is "6.8442%".
Explanation:
The expected portfolio return is the total average portfolio return for all stocks
ACE fund weight (wA) =3%
ACE fund (ErA) expected return= 11.830%
Bond fund ZQR weight (wB) = 97%.
The ACE fund (ErB) expected return = 6.690%
Expected portfolio return = [tex](wA \times ErA)+(wB \times ErB)[/tex]
[tex]=(3\% \times 11.830 \% )+(97 \% \times 6.690\%)\\\\= 0.03 \times 0.1183 +0.97 \times 0.0669 \\\\=0.003549+ 0.064893\\\\=0.068442\\\\=6.8442 \%[/tex]
