Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the amount of cash did Mertis spend in 2012 on new fixed assets is $84,971

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of cash did Mertis spend in 2012 on new fixed assets is shown below;

= ending net fixed assets + depreciation expense - beginning net fixed assets

= $865,000 + $34,971 - $815,000

= $84,971

Hence, the amount of cash did Mertis spend in 2012 on new fixed assets is $84,971

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

Answers

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

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

Answers

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)

Pension plans are a type of retirement plan in which the employee and employer make contributions. These contributions are invested and to be received upon retirement. In most all cases pension plans are tax exempt. The two types of pension plans are defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. A defined benefit plan guarantees an amount upon retirement no matter how the investment performed. A defined contribution plan is not a guaranteed amount and heavily depends on the investment performance.

C=10%

Explanation:

A)

Present value of $150000 at 11% for 40 years;

Using excel PV function: PV(11%,40,-150000) = $1342657.623

Therefore, 1466858 should be selected.

B)

Present value of $150000 at 9% for 40 years

= PV(9%,40,-150000) = $1613604.03

Therefore payment of $150000 should be selected

C)

Using excel rate function: RATE(40,-150000,1466858)

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?

Answers

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:

ROE = Net profit margin x asset turnover x financial leverage

ROE = (Net income / Sales) x (Sales/Total Assets) x (total asset / common 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.)

Answers

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

Answers

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.

Answers

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

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.

Answers

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

They are strict with absences and tardies, 3 tardies make one absence, and absences put penalties on your highschool resume/record, depending on how many penalties from absences and tardies you get, they kick you out of the school which is not fair if you have construction workers on the road  slowing you down on your way to school for 3 months.

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?

Answers

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

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.

Answers

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
