Answer:
$4,900
Explanation:
Total variable overhead estimated
= $6 × 50,000
= $300,000
Therefore,
Total overhead estimated = Total variable overhead estimated + Total fixed overhead estimated
= $300,000 + $400,000
= $700,000
Predetermined overhead rate
= $700,000/50,000
= $14 per machine hour
Total overhead applied
= $14 × 100
= $1,400
Therefore,
Total job cost = Direct material + direct labor + total overhead
= $750 + $2,750 + $1,400
= $4,900

Suppose a farmer in Georgia begins to grow peaches. He uses $1,000,000 in savings to purchase land, he rents equipment for $90 comma 000 a year, and he pays workers $110 comma 000 in wages. In return, he produces 300 comma 000 baskets of peaches per year, which sell for $3.00 each. Suppose the interest rate on savings is 1 percent and that the farmer could otherwise have earned $45 comma 000 as a shoe salesman. What is the farmer's economic profit? The peach farmer earns economic profit of $nothing . (Enter your response as an integer.)
Answer:
Economic profit =$645,000
Explanation:
Economic profit is the difference between revenue and out of pocket expenses plus opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost is the value of the benefit sacrificed in favour of a decision. It is the value of the next best alternative forgone in favour of a decision.
For example, the opportunity cost of the farmer is the interest rate he would have earned had he invested the money in savings account plus the salary forgone as a salesman
Economic profit = Revenue - out-of-pocket expenses - opportunity cost
Opportunity cost = interest foregone + salary forgone
= (1% × $1,000,000) + 45,000 = 55,000
Out of pocked trading expenses = 110,000 + 90,000 = $200,000
Revenue = $3 × 300,000 = $900,000
Economic profit = 900,000 -200,000-55,000= $645,000
Economic profit =$645,000

Cygnus has a
dividend cover ratio
of 4.0 times and expects
zero growth in dividends. The company
has one million $1 ordinary shares
în issue and the market capitalization of
the
company
is $ 50 million
After tax profits for next year is expected to be $20 million.What is the cost of equity capital?
Answer:
The cost of equity is "10.00%".
Explanation:
The given values are:
After tax profits,
= $20 million
Number of shares,
= 1 million
Dividend cover ration,
= 4.0
Market capitalization,
= $50 million
Now,
The earning per share (EPS) will be:
= [tex]\frac{After \ tax \ profits}{Number \ of \ shares}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]\frac{20}{1}[/tex]
= [tex]20[/tex] ($)
The dividend cover ratio = [tex]\frac{EPS}{Dividend \ per \ share}[/tex]
On substituting the given values, we get
⇒ [tex]4.0=\frac{20}{Dividend \ per \ share}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]Dividend \ per \ share=\frac{20}{4}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=5[/tex] ($)
Market per share price will be:
= [tex]\frac{Market \ capitalization}{Number \ of \ shares}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{50}{1}[/tex]
= [tex]50[/tex] ($) per share
So,
The cost of equity capital will be:
= [tex][\frac{Expected \ dividend}{Market \ price} ]+Growth \ rate[/tex]
On putting the values in the above formula, we get
= [tex][\frac{5}{50} ]+0.00[/tex]
= [tex]0.1+0.00[/tex]
= [tex]0.1[/tex] i.e., [tex]10.00[/tex]%

Fillmore Industries is a vertically integrated firm with several divisions that operate as decentralized profit centers. Fillmore's Systems Division manufactures scientific instruments and uses the products of two of Fillmore's other divisions. The Board Division manufactures printed circuit boards (PCBs). One PCB model is made exclusively for the Systems Division using proprietary designs, while less complex models are sold in outside markets. The products of the Transistor Division are sold in a well-developed competitive market; however, one transistor model is also used by the Systems Division. The costs per unit of the products used by the Systems Division are as follows:
PCB Transistor
Direct materials 1,85 0,40
Direct labor 4,20 0,90
Variable overhead 2,40 0,70
Fixed overhead 0,85 0,75
Total Cost 9,30 2,75
The Board Division sells its commercial product at full cost plus a 30 percent markup and believes the proprietary board made for the Systems Division would sell for $12 per unit on the open market. The market price of the transistor used by the Systems Division is $3.45 per unit.
Required:
1. What is the minimum transfer price for the Transistor Division? What is the maximum transfer price of the transistor for the Systems Division?
2. Assume the Systems Division is able to purchase a large quantity of
transistors from an outside source at $2.75 per unit. Further assume that the Transistor Division has excess capacity. Can the Transistor Division meet this price?

To ensure a full line of outdoor clothing and accessories, the marketing department at Teddy Bower insists that they also sell waterproof hunting boots. Unfortunately, Teddy Bower has no expertise in manufacturing those kinds of boots. Therefore, Teddy Bower contacted several Taiwanese suppliers to request quotes and $38 per pair of boots was the best quote. Due to competition, Teddy Bower knows that it cannot sell these boots for more than $54. However, all remaining boots can be sold off at a 50% discount at the end of the season. What is the underage cost Cu
Answer:
Undergo cost is $14
Explanation:
Undergo cost of Teddy Bower is $16 ( $54 - $38)
Undergo cost the total cost for a company which is not to be recovered from the sales. The undergo cost for Teddy Bower is $14 since the company has asked for quote from different suppliers and they quoted the maximum of $38 per pair of boots. The company has best and maximum quote of $54 above which the company predicts it can not sell the pair of boots.
15. Consider a no-load mutual fund with $400 million in assets, 50 million in debt, and 15 million shares at the start of the year; and $500 million in assets, 40 million in debt, and 18 million shares at the end of the year. During the year investors have received income distributions of $0.50 per share, and capital gains distributions of $0.30 per share. Assuming that the fund carries no debt, and that the total expense ratio is 0.75%, what is the rate of return on the fund
Answer:
12.09%.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the rate of return on the fund
First step is to calculate the beginning year NAV
Beginning year NAV = ($400 million assets - 50 million debt) / 15 million shares
Beginning year NAV = 23.33
Second step is to calculate the ending year NAV
Ending year NAV = ($500 million assets - (500*0.75% expense) - 40 million debt] / 18 million shares
Ending year NAV =[456.25/18 million shares]
Ending year NAV =25.35
Now let calculate the return using this formula
Return = (Ending NAV -beginning NAV + Capital gain + income) / Beginning NAV)
Let plug in the formula
Return = (25.35-23.33+0.30+0.50)/23.33
Return = 12.09%
Therefore the rate of return on the fund is 12.09%

The objective theory of contracts refers to the fact that in determining whether a valid offer exists, the court will mainly consider whether: (A) The offeror and offeree were acting in a calm, reasonable, unemotional manner. (B) The intentions--both obvious and unobserved--of the offeror and offeree match their actions. (C) The offer would seem fair from the perspective of a prudent and reasonable person. (D) A reasonable person, observing the situation, would believe a genuine offer had been made.
Answer:
(A) The offeror and offeree were acting in a calm, reasonable, unemotional manner.
Explanation:
A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.
There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, etc.
Mutual assent is a legal term which represents an agreement by both parties to a contract. When two parties to a contract both have an understanding of the parameters, terms and conditions surrounding a contract, it ultimately implies that they are in agreement; this is generally referred to as mutual assent.
Hence, the objective theory of contracts refers to the fact that in determining whether a valid offer exists, the court will mainly consider whether the offeror and offeree were acting in a calm, reasonable, unemotional manner.
Note: the offeror is the party that offers the project to another party while the offeree is the recipient of the offer in a contract.

Answer: $22,200
Explanation:
The total amount of manufacturing overhead cost will be gotten by adding the fixed manufacturing overhead cost to the variable manufacturing overhead cost. This will be:
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost = 5400 × $3.10 = $16740
Variable manufacturing overhead cost will be: = (7500 - 3300) × $1.30 = $5460
Therefore, the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost will be:
= $16740 + $5460
= $22,200

Answer:
Salt Creek should make a journal entry to record full one year depreciation expenses relating to the mower at 31st December 2017 as followed;
Dr Depreciation expenses - Machinery $1,690
--------Cr Accumulated depreciation - Machinery $1,690
Explanation:
Depreciation refers to the fall in the value of an asset. The annual depreciation expenses relating to Mower would be calculated as;
Annual depreciation expense = (Initial cost of Mower - Estimated salvage value) / Expected useful life.
= ($17,500 - $600) / $10
= $16,900 / $10
= $1,690
Since the Mower is purchased on January 1st, 2017, at 31st December 2017, Salt creek should make a entry to record full year depreciation expense.
Let X be the damage incurred (in $) in a certain type of accident during a given year. Possible X values are 0, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000, with probabilities 0.84, 0.09, 0.05, and 0.02, respectively. A particular company offers a $500 deductible policy. If the company wishes its expected profit to be $100, what premium amount should it charge (in dollars)
Answer:
$560
Explanation:
Calculation for what premium amount should it charge
Using this formula to calculate the premium amount
E(Y)=yxP(y)
Let X variable represent the damage that occured because of accident in the year provided
Based on the information given since the amount deductible is $500 while the expected premium charge is $100 then let defined the premium function as,
For X=0
Hence,
Y=X+$100
For X=1,000, 5,000, and 10,000
Y=X-$500+$100
Y=$400
Let the table below represents probability distribution of y
X= 0, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000
Y= 100 600 4,600 9,600
P(y)=0.84, 0.09, 0.05, 0.02,
(1000-400=600)
(5000-400=4,600)
(10,000-400=9,600)
Now let calculate the PREMIUM AMOUNT to be charge Using this formula
E(Y)=yxP(y)
Let plug in the formula
E(Y)=(100 × 0.84)+( 600 × 0.09) + (4,600 × 0.05) +( 9,600 × 0.02)
E(Y)=84+54+230+192
E(Y)=$560
Therefore the premium amount that it should it charge (in dollars) is $560
A cable TV company redesigned jobs so that one employee interacts directly with customers, connects and disconnects their cable service, installs their special services and collects overdue accounts in an assigned area. They also decided to do away with scripted customer interaction manuals and allow each employee to determine how best to interact with each customer. Previously, each task was performed by a different person and the customer interacted only with someone at the head office. This change most likely increased each employee's _______________. Group of answer choices
Answer:
the answer is dependence (I think, could be wrong though.)
Explanation:
Multiple Choice Question Valpar Company produces several lines of laundry hampers. The factory is highly automated and uses an activity-based costing system to allocate overhead costs to its various products. During the upcoming period the company expects to produce 72,000 units. The costs and cost drivers associated with four activity cost pools are given below: Activities Unit Level Batch Level Product Level Facility Level Cost $20,000 $10,000 $15,000 $36,000 Cost Driver 4,000 labor hours 400 set-ups % of use 72,000 units Production of 20,000 units of its popular foldable hamper required 2,000 labor hours, 20 setups, and consumed one-quarter of the product sustaining activities. What amount of batch-level costs will be allocated to the product
Answer:
$500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of batch-level costs that will be allocated to the product
Using this formula
Allocation rate=(Total batch level overhead cost/Total activity base ) * Set-ups
Let plug in the formula
Allocation rate=( $10,000/400 set-ups) *20 set-ups
Allocation rate=$25 per set-up *20 set-ups
Allocation rate=$500
Therefore the amount of batch-level costs that will be allocated to the product is $500
The article entitled "My Drug Probem" best reflects the economic idea that A. Pharmac, like private drug companies, attempt to maximaize the revenue that they receive from selling drugs. B. scarcity implies competition over resources which implies that every society has to establish rules that ration the available or potential goods and services among its citizens C. markets are always the best way to allocate resources D. government health programs, such as Pharmac, do not have to make decisions or choices regarding the availability and/or distribution of medical treartments and drugs to its citizens
Answer: C. markets are always the best way to allocate resources
Explanation:
The aforementioned article juxtaposes the benefits of having a market system for drug purchases in the United States vs other countries where healthcare is planned by the government.
It presented facts to support the logic that having a private market based system for drugs like the United States, ensures that there is incentive to produce more efficient drugs because an appropriate price can be charged for it unlike in areas where drug budgets are planned and so there might be haggling over accepting expensive drugs as was the case in New Zealand with Herceptin.
This reinforced the belief that markets are always best for resource allocation.
6. The recommended approach for strategy formulation by a leader is for him or her to: Group of answer choices B. inspire a large number of people to help achieve organizational purposes. D. delegate the task to the company planning department. A. involve people in making only decisions that are less critical. C. rely heavily on mathematical forecasts of the future.
Answer:
B. inspire a large number of people to help achieve organizational purposes.
Explanation:
Business strategy sets the overall direction for the business; it focuses on defining how a business would achieve its goals, objectives, and mission; as well as the funds and material resources required to implement or execute the business plan.
The recommended approach for strategy formulation by a leader is for him or her to inspire a large number of people to help achieve organizational purposes.
An investment had a nominal return of 10.7 percent last year. If the real return on the investment was only 6.5 percent, what was the inflation rate for the year?
Answer:
(1+0.103) =(1+0.057)(1+ Inflation rate)
1.103 =1.057 * (1+ Inflation rate)
1.103/1.057 = 1+ Inflation rate
1.0435 = 1+ inflation rate
Inflation rate = 0.0435 i.e. 4.35%
Consider an economy described by the following equations: Y = C + I + G, G = 2,000 T = 2,000 C = 250 + 0.75YD I = 750 a) Is there a government budget deficit, budget surplus, or balanced budget? A. budget deficit B. budget surplus C. balanced budget b) Calculate the equilibrium value of Y. Y = $ nothing c) What is the value of autonomous consumption (c0)? autonomous consumption = $ nothing d) What is the value of MPC? What is the value of MPS? MPC = nothing MPS = nothing e) Calculate the value of APC and the value of APS. Round your answers at 2 decimal places. APC = nothing APS = nothing f) Calculate private saving, public saving and national saving. Private Saving = $ nothing Public Saving = $ nothing National Saving = $ nothing
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. This is a balanced budget. A balanced budget is when the government expenditure and the revenue generated are thesame. In this case, government expenditure (G) and revenue gotten from taxes (T) are both 2000.
b. The equilibrium value of Y will be:
Y = C + I + G
Y = 250 + 0.75(Y - 2000) + 750 + 2000
Y = 250 + 0.75Y - 1500 + 750 + 2000
Y - 0.75Y = 1500
0.25Y = 1500
Y = 1500/0.25
Y = 6,000
c. The value of the autonomous consumption (c0) will be:
c0 = 250
d. MPC = 0.75 ,
Note that MPS = 1 - MPC
= 1 - 0.75
= 0.25
e APC = C/YD
= 3250/4000
= 0.8125
APS = S/YD
= 750/4000
= 0.1875
f. Private Saving = 750
Public saving = 0
Then, the National Saving will be:
= Public savings - private savings
= 750 - 0
= 750
