Tech Solutions is a consulting firm that uses a job-order costing system. Its direct materials consist of hardware and software that it purchases and installs on behalf of its clients. The firm’s direct labor includes salaries of consultants that work at the client’s job site, and its overhead consists of costs such as depreciation, utilities, and insurance related to the office headquarters as well as the office supplies that are consumed serving clients. Tech Solutions computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 50,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period’s estimated level of client service. The company also estimated $225,000 of fixed overhead cost for the coming period and variable overhead of $0.50 per direct labor-hour. The firm’s actual overhead cost for the year was $238,100 and its actual total direct labor was 53,100 hours. Required: 1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Tech Solutions started and completed the Xavier Company engagement. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 44,850 Direct labor cost $ 28,200 Direct labor hours worked 200 Compute the total job cost for the Xavier Company engagement.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1. The predetermined overhead rate is
= $0.50 + ($225,000 ÷ 50,000 direct labor hours)
= $.50 + $4.5
= $5
2. The total job cost is
= $44,850 + $28,200 + 200 × $5
= $44,850 + $28,200 + $1,000
= $74,050
So in this way these can be calculated
Kenneth Clark is saving for an Australian vacation in three years. He estimates that he will need $4,970 to cover his airfare and all other expenses for a week-long holiday in Australia. If he can invest his money in an S&P 500 equity index fund that is expected to earn an average annual return of 11.4 percent over the next three years.
Required:
How much will he have to save every year if he starts saving at the end of this year?
Answer:
$1481.37
Explanation:
Annual savings = future value / annuity factor
Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r
[(1.114)^3 - 1 ] / 0.114 = 3.3549996
$4,970 / 3.3549996 = $1481.37
Alternative Production Procedures and Operating Leverage Assume Sharpie, a brand of Newell Brands, is planning to introduce a new executive pen that can be manufactured using either a capital-intensive method or a labor-intensive method. The predicted manufacturing costs for each method are as follows: Capital Intensive Labor Intensive Direct materials per unit $ 10.00 $ 12.00 Direct labor per unit $ 4.00 $ 12.00 Variable manufacturing overhead per unit $ 5.00 $ 2.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead per year $ 1,800,000 $ 500,000 Sharpies market research department has recommended an introductory unit sales price of $100. The incremental selling costs are predicted to be $250,000 per year, plus $4 per unit sold. (a) Determine the annual break-even point in units if Sharpie uses the: Note: Round both answers UP to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
For Capital Incentive manufacturing method = 26,623 Units
For Labor Incentive manufacturing method = 10,714 Units
Explanation:
We are asked to find out the annual break - even point in units if Sharpie uses the Capital Intensive Method and Labour intensive Method.
Solution:
1. For Capital Intensive Method:
Direct Materials = 10
Direct Labor = 4
Variable MOH = 5
Variable Selling = 4
Total Variable Cost = T = 23
Selling Price = P = 100
Contribution Margin = M = P-T = 77
Fixed Overhead:
Fixed MOH = 1800000
Fixed Selling costs = 250000
Total Fixed Costs = 2050000
Break Even Point in Units = Total Fixed Cost / M = 26623
2. For Labor Intensive Method:
Direct Materials = 12
Direct Labor = 12
Variable MOH = 2
Variable Selling = 4
Total Variable Cost = T = 30
Selling Price = P = 100
Contribution Margin = M = P-T = 70
Fixed Overhead:
Fixed MOH = 500000
Fixed Selling costs = 250000
Total Fixed Costs = 750000
Break Even Point in Units = Total Fixed Cost / M = 10714

Dianne Ruth withdrew $8,000 from her educational savings account and used $6,000 to pay for qualified higher education expenses. The remaining balance of $2,000 was used to purchase clothes. On the date of the distribution, her educational savings account had $25,000 balance including $20,000 she had contributed.
How much of the $8,000 is tax free?
Answer:
$7,600
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much of the $8,000 is tax free
Step 1 is to calculate the % using this formula
%=Savings ratio ROC Contributed/Total balance
Let plug in the formula
%=$20,000/$25,000
%= .80*100
%=80%
Step 2 is to calculate the ROC tax free using this formula
ROC tax free=% x Distribution
Let plug in the formula
ROC tax free=.80x 8000
ROC tax free=$6,400
Step 3 is to Contained earnings in distribution using this formula
Contained earnings in distribution=Distribution - ROC tax free
Let plug in the formula
Contained earnings in distribution=$8,000-$6,400
Contained earnings in distribution= $1,600
Step 4 is to calculate Excludable earning using this formula
Excludable earning=(Qualified exp/distribution ) x Earning contained
Let plug in the formula
Excludable earning=($6,000/$8,000) x $1,600
Excludable earning= $1,20/
Step 5 is to calculate the Taxable amount using this formula
Taxable =Earnings - Excludable
Let plug in the formula
Taxable=$1,600-$1,200
Taxable =$400
Now let determine the Tax free using this formula
Tax free = Distribution- Taxable
Let plug in the formula
Tax free=$8,000- $400
Tax free=$7,600
Therefore How much of the $8,000 is tax free will be $7,600

XYZ Tile Installation Corporation measures its activity in terms of square feet of tile installed. Last month, the budgeted level of activity was 1,180 square feet and the actual level of activity was 1,270 square feet. The company's owner budgets for supply costs, a variable cost, at $3.50 per square foot. The actual supply cost last month was $4,980. What would have been the spending variance for supply costs
Answer:
The appropriate solution is "$535 U". A further explanation is described below.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Actual level of activity,
= 1270
Budgeted variable cost,
= $3.50
Actual supply cost,
= $4980
Now,
The spending variance for supply costs will be:
= [tex](Actual \ level \ of \ activity\times Budgeted \ variable \ cost)\times Actual \ supply \ cost[/tex]
= [tex](1270\times 3.50)-4980[/tex]
= [tex]4445-4980[/tex]
= [tex]535[/tex] (unfavorable)
Interest earnings of 4 percent with a $450 minimum balance; average monthly balance, $600; monthly service charge of $20 for falling below the minimum balance, which occurs five times a year (no interest earned in these months). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Input the amount as a positive value.)
Answer:
$86
Explanation:
Missing word "What could be the net annual cost"
Monthly fee = $20
Interest rate = 4% = 0.04
Average monthly balance = $600
Net annual cost = $20*5 - 0.04*$600*7/12
Net annual cost = $100 - $14
Net annual cost = $86
So, the net annual cost of this account is $86.
Corporate decision makers and analysts often use a particular technique, called a DuPont analysis, to better understand the factors that drive a companyâs financial performance, as reflected by its return on equity (ROE). By using the DuPont equation, which disaggregates the ROE into three components, analysts can see why a companyâs ROE may have changed for the better or worse, and identify particular company strengths and weaknesses. The DuPont Equation A DuPont analysis is conducted using the DuPont equation, which helps to identify and analyze three important factors that drive a companyâs ROE.
Required:
What factors directly affect a companyâs ROE?
Answer:
DuPont Equation
The three factors that directly affect a company's ROE (Return on Equity) are:
1. Profit margin
2. Total asset turnover
3. Equity multiplier
Explanation:
The profit margin measures the operating efficiency of the company with higher sales leading to higher profit margins.
The total asset turnover is a financial measure that divides turnover by the total assets. It shows the efficiency achieved in the use of assets to generate sales revenue.
The equity multiplier measures the financial leverage of the company. It shows how the use of debts increases the value of the company's equity.

Mickley Company’s plantwide predetermined overhead rate is $20.00 per direct labor-hour and its direct labor wage rate is $15.00 per hour. The following information pertains to Job A-500: Direct materials $ 280 Direct labor $ 150 Required: 1. What is the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job A-500? 2. If Job A-500 consists of 70 units, what is the unit product cost for this job? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1.
Total hours for job A - 500
= Direct labor ÷direct labor wage rate
= $150 ÷ $15
= 10
Total over head cost = overhead cost per labor hours × no. of labor hours
= $20 × 10
= $200
total manufacturing cost = Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Total over head cost
= $280 + $150 + $200
= $630
2.
Cost assigned to each unit
= total manufacturing cost ÷ number of units
= $630 ÷ 70
= $9

Income elasticity measures the:____.
A. Responsiveness of quantity demanded for one good to a percentage change in price of another good.
B. Percentage change in quantity demanded given a percentage change in wealth.
C. Responsiveness of quantity demanded to a percentage change in income.
D. Way in which consumers switch from one product to another when price rises.
Answer:
C. Responsiveness of quantity demanded to a percentage change in income.
Explanation:
Income elasticity is defined as the responsiveness of the quantity of a good demanded by an individual as his income changes, all other factors being constant.
Mathematically it is calculated as percentage change in quantity demanded divided by percentage change in income.
Income elasticity is used to find out if a good is a necessity or a luxury good.
The demand for goods that are a necessity does not change with a change in income.
However demand for a luxury good increases as income increases and vice versa
1. Jupiter Explorers has $9,800 in sales. The profit margin is 5%. There are 4,500 shares of stock outstanding. The market price per share is $1.90.
What is the price-earnings ratio?
2. A firm has a return on equity of 18%. The total asset turnover is 1.7 and the profit margin is 6%. The total equity is $7,200.
What is the amount of the net income?
Answer:
17.43
132.19
Explanation:
Net profit margin is an example of a profitability ratio. It measures he ability of a firm to earn a profit from its assets
Net profit margin = Net income / Revenue
0.05 = x / 9800
net income = 490
net income per share = 490 / 4500 = 0.109
p/e = 1.9 / 0.109 = 17.43
Using the Dupont formula, ROE can be determined using:

Several years ago, Castles in the Sand Inc. issued bonds at face value of $1,000 at a yield to maturity of 8%. Now, with 7 years left until the maturity of the bonds, the company has run into hard times and the yield to maturity on the bonds has increased to 12%. What is the price of the bond now
Answer:
$814.10
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the price of the bond now
Using this formula
Bond price = PV of coupon payments + PV of face value
Bond price= C×((1 / r) – {1 / [r(1 + r)t]}) + FV / (1 + r)t
Let plug in the formula
Bond price= [(.080 ×$1,000) / 2] ×[[1 / (.12 / 2)] – (1 / {(.12 / 2)[1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)})] + $1,000 / [1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)
Bond price= $814.10
Therefore the price of the bond now is $814.10
