Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the direct material used:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 27,000 + 104,000 - 30,000
Direct material used= $101,000
Now, the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 39,000 + 101,000 + 129,000 + 104,000 - 49,000
cost of goods manufactured= $324,000
Finally, the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 79,000 + 324,000 - 59,000
COGS= $344,000

Forecasting is the heart of planning process. Explain
Answer:
Forecasting is a very important step in the planning process, so much that without forecasting, the planning process for a project of a firm as a whole would not be possible.
Explanation:
The reason is that by definition, planning corresponds to a process that will be realized at some point in the future, (whether in the long or short-term depends on the planning horizon), and for the most part, information about the future is uncertain, and hard to predict. For that reason, the planning process must use forecasting methods to determine important variables like future sales, future revenue, future costs, and so on.
There are many forecasting techniques. For the most part, these techniques are statistical in nature and based on past information that is supposed to replicate somehow in the future. However, sometimes, more qualitative or intuitive forecasting methods are used, when statistical information is hard to come by.

Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently created a standard cost system to help control costs and has established the following standards for the Maze toy:
Direct materials: 6 microns per toy at $1.50 per micron
Direct labor: 1.3 hours per toy at $21 per hour
During July, the company produced 3,000 Maze toys. The toy's production data for the month are as follows: Direct materials: 25,000 microns were purchased at a cost of $1.48 per micron. 5,000 of these microns were still in inventory at the end of the month. Direct labor: 4,000 direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $88,000.
Required:
Compute the variances for July.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the variance is shown below;
a) Material price variance is
= (Standard price - actual price) × actual quantity
= ($1.5 - $1.48) × 25000
= $500 F
b. Material quantity variance is
= (Standard quantity - actual quantity) × Standard price
= (3000 × 6 - 20,000) × 1.5
= $3,000 U
c) Labor rate variance is
= (Standard rate - actual rate) × actual hours
= ($21 × 4000 - $88,000)
= $4,000 U
d. Labor efficiency variance is
= (Standard hour - actual hour) × Standard rate
= (3000 × 1.3 - 4000) × 21
= $2,100 U

A machine purchased three years ago for $360,000 has a current book value using straight-line depreciation of $200,000; its operating expenses are $30,000 per year. A replacement machine would cost $240,000, have a useful life of nine years, and would require $13,000 per year in operating expenses. It has an expected salvage value of $65,000 after nine years. The current disposal value of the old machine is $85,000; if it is kept 9 more years, its residual value would be $10,000.
Required:
a. Calculate the total costs in keeping the old machine and purchase a new machine.
Old machine New Machine
Total cost :
b. Should the old machine be replaced?
Yes
No
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Calculate the total costs in keeping the old machine and purchase a new machine.
The total costs in keeping the old machine will be:
Opportunity cost = $85000 - $10000 = $75000
Add: Opening costs = 30000 × 9 = $270000
Total cost = $75000 + $270000 = $345000
The total cost in buying a new machine will be:
Opportunity cost = $240000 - $65000 = $175000
Add: Opening costs = 13000 × 9 = $117000
Total cost = $175000 + $117000 = $292000
b. Should the old machine be replaced?
Yes. The old machine should be replaced because it's cost is higher.

A borrower has secured a 30-year, $150,000 loan at 7% with monthly payments. Fifteen years later, the borrower has the opportunity to refinance with a fifteen-year mortgage at 6%. However, the up-front fees, which will be paid in cash, are $2,500. What is the return on investment if the borrower expects to remain in the home for the next fifteen years
Answer:
Return on investment ≈ 29%
Explanation:
using excel function
Determine :
Rate = 7% / 12 = 0.0058
Nper value = 30 years * 12 = 360
PV = -$150,000
∴ PMT value = $997.95
next : calculate the outstanding balance 15 years later
= ( 997.95 / 0.00583 ) * ( 1 - ( 1 / ( 1 + 0.00583 )^15*12 ))
= 171174.96 * 0.6489
= $ 111,075.43
Considering the opportunity to refinance
Rate = 6% /12 = 0.005
Nper = 15 * 12 = 180
Pv = - $111,075.43
∴ PMT = 937.32
the monthly saved up payment = PMT 1 - PMT 2
= 997.95 - 937.32 = $60.63
Finally
Rate of return on investment
= 2500 = 60.63 * [tex]( \frac{1 - (\frac{1+r}{12})^{-15*12} }{r} )[/tex]
hence Rate of return ≈ 29 %
attached below is a screenshot of the excel function used for question 2 and it can be used for question 1 as well just change the values
Woody Lightyear is considering the purchase of a toy store from Andy Enterprises. Woody expects the store will generate net cash flows (cash inflows less cash outflows) of $60,000 per year for 20 years. At the end of the 20 years, he intends to sell the store for $600,000. To finance the purchase, Woody will borrow using a 20-year note that requires 9% interest.
Required:
What is the maximum amount Woody should offer Andy for the toy store?
Answer: $654,769
Explanation:
Woody should find the present value of the cash inflows and the amount he plans to sell the company for after 20 years.
As the cash inflows are constant, they are an annuity.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of an annuity, 9%, 20 years
= 60,000 * 9.1285
= $547,710
Add the present value of the selling price:
= 547,710 + 600,000 / (1 + 9%)²⁰
= $654,768.53
= $654,769
The maximum amount woody should offer is $654,769.
What is the present value annuity factor?The present value annuity factor is used to calculate today's value of future one-dollar cash flows.
P = PMT * [1 – [ (1 / 1+r)^n] / r]
Given:
Net cash flows=$60,000 for 20 years
Sale price after 20 years=$600,000
Interest Rate=9%
As the cash inflows are constant, their is annuity.
Present value of annuity = Annuity X Present value annuity factor(at the rate 9% for 20 years)
= 60,000 X 9.1285
= $547,710
the selling price should be added as it is the current /todays price
= 547,710 + 600,000 / (1 + 0.9)²⁰
= $654,768.53
= $654,769
Therefore, the above calculation aptly describes $654,769 is the maximum amount Woody should offer.

ABC Corporation has total assets of 120 million, total liabilities of 80 million, Goodwill of 12 million, and 4 millions of shares outstanding. If you believe the reasonable price to tangible book value should be 1.6 for this company, what is the implied share price of ABC
Answer: $16
Explanation:
Implied share price = Book value per share * Price to tangible book value
Book value per share = (Assets - Liabilities) / Number of shares outstanding
= (120 - 80) / 4
= $10
Implied share price = 10 * 1.6

Taylor has owned and occupied her personal residence (adjusted basis of $190,000) for four years. In April 2015, she sells the residence for $300,000 (selling expenses are $20,000). On the same day as the sale, Taylor purchases another house for $350,000. Because of noisy neighbors, she sells the new house after just 10 months. The selling price is $483,000 (selling expenses are $18,000).
What is Taylor’s recognized gain on the sale of the first residence?
What is Taylor’s basis for her second residence?
What is Taylor’s recognized gain on the sale of the second residence?
Assume instead that the sale of the second residence was due to Taylor’s job transfer to another state. What is her recognized gain on the sale of the second residence?
Answer:
a) $90,000
b) $260,000
c) $115000
Explanation:
a) First House
Cost price = $190,000 + selling expense = $20,000 = $210,000
Selling price = $300,000
Gain on selling of first house
$300,000 - $210,000 = $90,000
b) Cost price of second house = $350,000
Base price spent on second house = $350,000 - $90,000 = $260,000
c) Gain on sale of second house = $483,000 -($350,000 + $18,000) = $115000
Transferred-in costs, FIFO method. Refer to the information in Exercise 17-31. Suppose that Trendy uses the FIFO method instead of the weighted-average method in all of its departments. The only changes to Exercise 17-31 under the FIFO method are that total transferred-in costs of beginning work in process on June 1 are $45,000 (instead of $60,000) and total transferred-in costs added during June are $114,000 (instead of $117,000).
Required:
Using the FIFO method. Note that you first need to calculate equivalent units of work done in the current period (for transferred-in costs, direct materials, and conversion costs) to complete beginning work in process, to start and complete new units, and to produce ending work in process.
Answer:
Beginning work in process $69,000
Transferred in cost $115,000
Direct material 0
Conversion cost $20,000
Ending work in process $272,000
Transferred in cost $159,000
Direct material $27,000
Conversion cost $86,000
Explanation:
FIFO method is the one in which the inventory bought first is used first. Weighted average inventory system determines an average rate for all the inventory purchased and that rate is used for the calculation. Both method are used widely but there will be difference in ending inventory in the two methods.

Sarah Sandoval is a coffee farmer trying to decide how many tons of coffee to produce. She can sell each ton of coffee for $2000. The cost of producing the first ton of coffee is $500, for the second ton, it's $1000. For each additional ton of coffee produced, the marginal cost increases by $500. How many tons of coffee should Sarah produce, and what is the total cost of her coffee production
Answer:
She will produce four tons at a total cost of $5,000
Explanation:
For each additional ton of coffee produced the marginal cost is increase by $500. This means that when Sarah reaches the fourth ton of coffee the cost of producing the ton of coffee would be $2,000.
At this point she is neither making any profit nor any loss. So, this would be her maximum limit of producing the ton of coffee.
The total cost of producing the four tons of coffee would be $5,000 ($500 for first + $1,000 for second + $1,500 for third + $2,000 for fourth).
Which of the following is not characteristic of long-run equilibrium under monopolistic competition? Price equals minimum average total cost. marginal cost equals marginal revenue. Price is equal to average total cost. Price exceeds marginal cost.
Answer:
Price equals minimum average total cost.
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes.
Monopolistic competition can be defined as the market structure which comprises of elements of competitive markets (having many competitors) and monopoly.
Under monopolistic competition, organizations earn profits in the long-run equilibrium.
In long-run equilibrium under monopolistic competition, price does not equal minimum average total cost.
When a monopolistically competitive firm is in long-run equilibrium, marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost . This ultimately implies that in the long-run, firms engaging in monopolistic competitive market are often going to manufacture the quantity of goods where the marginal cost (MC) curve intersect with the marginal revenue (MR). Also, the price set would be greater than the minimum average total cost (ATC).

Quantitative Problem: Barton Industries expects that its target capital structure for raising funds in the future for its capital budget will consist of 40% debt, 5% preferred stock, and 55% common equity. Note that the firm's marginal tax rate is 25%. Assume that the firm's cost of debt, rd, is 9.0%, the firm's cost of preferred stock, rp, is 8.2% and the firm's cost of equity is 11.6% for old equity, rs, and 11.9% for new equity, re. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC1) if it uses retained earnings as its source of common equity
Answer: 9.49%
Explanation:
Formula for WACC:
WACC = (Cost of Equity * Weight of equity) + [(Cost of debt * weight of debt) * (1 - tax rate)] + (Cost of Preference share * weight of preference share).
As we are using retained earnings, this is not a new stock issue so the relevant cost of equity to use is the old one.
WACC = (11.6% * 55%) + [(9% * 40%) * (1 - 25%)] + (8.2% * 5%)
= 9.49%

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a. A 10-year coupon bond would have more price risk than a 5-year coupon bond, but all 10-year coupon bonds have the same amount of price risk.
b. A zero coupon bond of any maturity will have more price risk than any coupon bond, even a perpetuity.
c. If their maturities and other characteristics were the same, a 5% coupon bond would have more price risk than a 10% coupon bond.
d. A 10-year coupon bond would have more reinvestment risk than a 5-year coupon bond, but all 10-year coupon bonds have the same amount of reinvestment risk.
e. If their maturities and other characteristics were the same, a 5% coupon bond would have less price risk than a 10% coupon bond.
Answer: c. If their maturities and other characteristics were the same, a 5% coupon bond would have more price risk than a 10% coupon bond.
Explanation:
Price risk of a bond is the risk that the bond changes price or rather the degree of price volatility. Bond prices change in reaction to market interest rates with higher rates meaning lower prices and lower rates meaning higher prices.
When the market interest rates rise above the Coupon on a bond, the bond price will fall below par and when the interest rates are below the coupon, the bond will be above par.
A 5% coupon bond will be more prone to changes in prices because market interest rates are generally low and fluctuate below 10% which means that they will affect the 5% bond more than the 10% because there are better chances of rates rising above or falling below 5% than there are of 10%.
