Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $1.5
Fixed costs= $2,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Miles Driven Total Cost
January 10,000 $17,000
February 8,000 13,500
March 9,000 14,400
April 7,000 12,500
To calculate the variable and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (17,000 - 12,500) / (10,000 - 7,000)
Variable cost per unit= $1.5
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 17,000 - (1.5*10,000)
Fixed costs= $2,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 12,500 - (1.5*7,000)
Fixed costs= $2,000
Common property resources like fish stocks in open waters tend to be overutilized because :________.

Using the average cost method, the value of ending inventory is
Answer: $1000
Explanation:
Using the average cost method, the value of ending inventory will be calculated thus:
Average cost per unit = Total cost / Total number of units
= $3000/150
= $20 per unit
Value of ending inventory = 50 units × $20 = $1000
Therefore, the value of ending inventory is $1000.

A manufacturing company that produces a single product has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $ 146 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 2,470 Units sold 2,040 Units in ending inventory 430 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 50 Direct labor $ 20 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 11 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 19 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 69,160 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 20,400 The total gross margin for the month under absorption costing is:
Answer:
Total gross margin= $75,480
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price $ 146
Units in beginning inventory 0
Units produced 2,470
Units sold 2,040
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $ 50
Direct labor $ 20
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 11
Fixed costs:
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 69,160
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
First, we need to calculate the unitary production cost:
Unit product cost= direct material + direct labor + total unitary overhead
Unitary fixed overhead= 69,160 / 2,470= $28
Unit product cost= 50 + 20 + (11 + 28)= $109
Now, the gross margin:
Unitary Gross margin= selling price - Unit product cost
Unitary Gross margin= 146 - 109
Unitary Gross margin= $37
Total gross margin= 37*2,040
Total gross margin= $75,480

TCost-908 Car Mechanic Inc. uses a job-order costing system. The company applies all of its overhead costs to jobs using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it made the following estimates: Direct labor-hours required to support estimated output 22,000 Fixed overhead cost $ 253,000 Variable overhead cost per direct labor-hour $ 1.00 During the year, a customer brought in her car for repairs. The following information was available with respect to the car's repairs: Direct materials $ 703 Direct labor cost $ 317 Direct labor-hours used 8 If TCost-908 sets its selling prices by adding a markup percentage of 40% of its total job cost, then how much would the company have charged this customer for her car's repairs?
Solution :
1. Predetermined overhead rate
Fixed [tex]\text{overhead cost}[/tex] (253,000 / 22,000) = $ 11.5
Variable [tex]\text{overhead cost}[/tex] per direct labor-hour = $ 1
Predetermined overhead rate = $12.5
2. Total job cost $
Direct materials 703
Direct labor cost 317
Applied overhead (8 hours x $12.5 per direct labor hour) = 100
Total job cost = $ 1120
3. Charges = $ 1120 x 140%
= $1568
At the beginning of last year an investor purchased ABC Corporation at $100 per share. During the year, the firm made a 4 for 1 split, and then paid dividends of $1.50 per share. At the end of the year, the investor sold the shares at $26 per share. What is the rate of return?
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
Cost of investment = $100
Total dividend = 4 for 1 split = 4*$1.5 = $6.00
Total sales proceed = $26*4 = $104
Total return = [(Sale price + Dividend - Cost of purchase) / Cost of purchase] * 100
Total return = ($104 + $6 - $100) / 100
Total return = 10 / 100
Total return = 0.10
Total return = 10%
So, the rate of return is 10%
Hexon Printing Company projected the following information for next year: Selling price per unit $80 Contribution margin per unit $40 Total fixed costs $120,000 Tax rate 40% How many units must be sold to obtain an after-tax profit of $60,000
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 5,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit $80
Contribution margin per unit $40
Total fixed costs $120,000
Tax rate 40%
Desired profit= $60,000
First, we need to calculate the earnings before tax:
EBT= desired profit / (1 - t)
EBT= 60,000 / (1 - 0.4)
EBT= $100,000
Now, the break-even point in units using the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + EBT)/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (120,000 + 100,000) / (80 - 40)
Break-even point in units= 5,500

If a consumer is always indifferent between an additional one grapefruit or an additional two oranges, then when oranges are on the horizontal axis the indifference curves: Group of answer choices will be straight lines with a slope of 1/2. will be straight lines with a slope of -1. will be right angles whose corners occur on a ray from the origin with a slope of 2. none of these options is correct. will be straight lines with a slope of -1/2.
Answer: will be straight lines with a slope of -1/2.
Explanation:
An indifference curve simply means the combination of two goods that can give a consumer equal satisfaction, and this makes the consumer indifferent.
It should be noted that along the curve, the consumer will have an equal preference which is for the combinations of the goods that are shown.
If a consumer is always indifferent between an additional one grapefruit or an additional two oranges, then when oranges are on the horizontal axis, then the indifference curves will be straight lines with a slope of -1/2. Here, the fact that the slope is negative
is due to the fact that the curve is downward sloping.
Tobias has a brokerage account and buys on the margin, which resulted in an interest expense of $52,000 during the year. Income generated through the brokerage account was as follows: Municipal interest $104,000 Taxable dividends and interest 520,000 If required, round any division to two decimal places and use in subsequent computations. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar. How much investment interest can Tobias deduct
Answer: $43,160
Explanation:
The amount of investment interest that can be deducted is:
= Interest expense * Proportion of total income that is taxable
Municipal interest is not taxable so the proportion of total income that is taxable is:
= Taxable dividends and interest / Total income
= 520,000 / (520,000 + 104,000)
= 0.83
Amount of investment interest that is deductible:
= 52,000 * 0.83
= $43,160

Suppose firm X just paid its annual dividend of $2.00 per share. You expect that the firm will continue to pay $2.00 per share (per year) for the next 10 years (times t=1 through 10), after which point you expect that the annual dividend per share will grow by 12% every year thereafter (forever). If the required rate of return is 15%, what is the current price per share?
Answer:
Current price per share = $10.54
Explanation:
Note: See the attached file for the calculation of present values (PV) for year 1 to 10 dividends.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Total of dividends from year 1 to year 10 = $10.0375372517085
Year 10 dividend = $0.494369412243732
Therefore, we have:
Year 11 dividend = Year 10 dividend * (100% + Dividend growth rate after year 10) = $0.494369412243732 * (100% + 12%) = $0.55369374171298
Share price at year 10 = Year 11 dividend / (Required return rate - Dividend growth rate after year 10) = $0.55369374171298 / (15% + 12%) = $2.05071756189993
PV of share price at year 10 = Share price at year 10 / (100% + Required return rate)^Number of years = $2.05071756189993 / (100% + 15%)^10 = $0.506906017877183
Therefore, we have:
Current price per share = Total of dividends from year 1 to year 10 + PV of share price at year 10 = $10.0375372517085 + $0.506906017877183 = $10.54

This is a straightforward question. From the question, we are informed that a company must repay the bank $10,000 cash in three years for a loan and that the loan agreement specifies 8% interest compounded annually and we are given the present value factor for three years at 8% is 0.7938.
Therefore, the amount of cash that the company receive from the bank on the day they borrowed this money will be:
= $10000 × Present value factor at 8%
= $10000 × 0.7938
= $7938

Firm X is considering the replacement of an old machine with one that has a purchase price of $70,000. The current market value of the old machine is $18,000 but the book value is $32,000. The firm's tax rate is 30%. What is the net cash outflow for the new machine after considering the sale of the old machine? Disregard the effect of depreciation of the new machine if acquired.
A. $47,800
B. $70,000
C. $52,000
D. $40,100 20.
Answer:
A. $47,800
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the net cash outflow for the new machine after considering the sale of the old machine
First step
Loss on sale of old machine = 18000 - 32,000
Loss on sale of old machine = ($14,000)
Second step
Tax savings from loss on sale=14,000 x 30%
Tax savings from loss on sale = $4200
Third step
Net benefit from sale of old machine = Sales proceeds + tax on loss of sale
Net benefit from sale of old machine= $18,000 + $4200
Net benefit from sale of old machine= $22,200
Now let determine the Net cash outflow for new machine
Net cash outflow for new machine = Cost of new machine – Net benefit
Net cash outflow for new machine= $70,000 – $22,200
Net cash outflow for new machine= $47,800
Therefore the net cash outflow for the new machine after considering the sale of the old machine is $47,800
