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 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]
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

A start-up company that makes hydraulic seals borrowed $800,000 to expand its packaging and shipping facility. The contract required the company to repay the investors through an innovative mechanism called faux dividends, a series of uniform annual payments over a fixed period of time. If the company paid $250,000 per year for 5 years, what was the interest rate on the loan
Answer:
Internal rate of Return = 17%
Explanation:
Solution:
In order to solve this question, there are two methods to solve. First one is through the use of Factor Tables values, which is bit lengthy. And Second one is through the use of Excel.
Here, I will be solving through the use of Factor Tables.
Using Factor Tables Method:
First we need to know the formula to calculate the interest rate:
P = A x [tex]\frac{(1 + i)^{n} - 1 }{i(1 + i)^{n} }[/tex]
From the above formula, we need to find the P/A.
P/A = [tex]\frac{(1 + i)^{n} - 1 }{i(1 + i)^{n} }[/tex]
Where, P = $800,000
A = $250,000
So, the P/A = 3.2
Now, you need to check out the factor tables for the value interest rate against the value of P/A 3.2 for 5 years.
You will get interest rate of 16% for P/A 3.2743 for 5 years,
And
You will get interest rate of 18% for P/A 3.1272 for 5 years.
But, our P/A value is 3.2 only and it lie between these two points.
So, now, we need to find the internal rate of return which will be our correct answer.
Internal Rate of Return = [tex]i_{a}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{(P/A)_{a} - (P/A)_{c} }{(P/A)_{a} - (P/A)_{b} } (i_{b} - i_{a})[/tex]
Where,
[tex]i_{a}[/tex] = 18% = 0.18
[tex](P/A)_{a}[/tex] = 3.1272
[tex]i_{b}[/tex] = 16% = 0.16
[tex](P/A)_{b}[/tex] = 3.2743
By plugging in the values, we will get the internal rate of return.
Internal rate of Return = 0.170
Internal rate of Return = 17%
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.

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.

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
On January 1, 2021, Sans Serif Publishers leased printing equipment from First LeaseCorp. First LeaseCorp purchased the equipment from CompuDec Corporation at a cost of $479,079. The lease agreement specifies six annual payments of $100,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 from 2021 through 2025. The six-year lease term ending December 31, 2026, is equal to the estimated useful life of the equipment. First LeaseCorp routinely acquires electronic equipment to lease to other firms. The interest rate in these financing arrangements is 10%. 1) How should this lease be classified
Answer:
The lease should be classified as a Finance or Capital Lease.
Explanation:
For Sans Serif to recognize a lease arrangement as a Capital Lease, the lease term will take up a significant part of the asset’s useful economic life, among other conditions. In this case, the economic life of the asset is six years, and the lease term lasts six years. This lease cannot be classified as an operating lease, with the lease payments treated as an expense instead of as a repayment of a liability for a recognized asset.

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

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.

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.

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 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
