Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (5.75 - 5.8)*31,000
Direct material price variance= $1,550 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (63,000*0.5 - 31,000)*5.75
Direct material quantity variance= $2,875 favorable
To calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (10,500 - 10,600)*21.5
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $2,150 unfavorable
Standard quantity= (10/60)*63,000= 10,500 hours
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (21.5 - 20.5)*10,600
Direct labor rate variance= $10,600 favorable
Actual rate= 217,300 / 10,600= $20.5
Fill in the blanks to complete the sentence. A manufacturing company has budgeted production at 5,000 units for May and 4,400 units in June. Each unit requires 3 pounds of materials at a cost of $10 per pound. On May 1, there are 2,750 pounds of materials on hand. The company desires an ending inventory of 60% of the next month's materials requirements. The total cost of direct materials purchases for May will be $ .
Answer:
Direct material purchases in May = 21,670× $10= $216,700
Explanation:
Material purchase budget is determined by adding the closing inventory of material to the material usage budget less the opening inventory.
Material budgets for May will be prepared as follows:
Materials needed for May production = 5,500 × 3 = 16,500
Materials needed for June production = 4,400× 3= 13,200
Closing inventory of raw material in May =60% × June requirement = 60% × 13,200 =7,920
Material purchase budget for February = Usage budget + closing inventory - opening inventory
= 16,500 + 7,920- 2,750=21,670
Direct material purchases in May = 21,670× $10= $216,700

Her net business profit on her Schedule C for the year is $196,000. What is her self-employment tax liability and additional Medicare tax liability for 2020
Answer:
Self employment tax liability = $22,323.97Additional Medicare tax liability = $0Explanation:
According to the IRS, the amount subject to self-employment tax is 92.35% of net income from self-employment for the year.
Alice's taxable income is:
= 92.35% * 196,000
= $181,006
Self employment tax-liability:
Social security tax for 2020 is 12.4% for the first $137,700 of income.
= 12.4% * 137,700
= $17,074.80
Medicare tax:
= 2.9% on taxable income
= 2.9% * 181,006
= $5,249.17
Self-employment tax is:
= 17,074.80 + 5,249.17
= $22,323.97
Additional Medicare tax applies on only amounts above $200,000 so it is $0 in this case.
Fill in the missing numbers for the following income statement. (Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Sales Costs Depreciation EBIT Taxes (22%) Net income 747,300 582,600 89,300
a. Calculate the OCF. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. What is the depreciation tax shield? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
a. OCF
b. Depreciation tax shield
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Sales = 747300
Less: Costs = 582600
Less: Depreciation = 89300
EBIT = 75400
Less: Taxes at 22% = 22% × 75400 = 16588
Net income = EBIT - Taxes = 75400 - 16588 = 58812
a. Calculate the OCF.
OCF will be calculated as:
= Net income + Depreciation
= 58812 + 89300
= 148,112
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?
Depreciation tax shield will be:
= Depreciation × Tax rate
= 89300 × 22%
= 89300 × 0.22
= 19646
Heidi (age 57) invested $4,000 in her Roth 401(k) on January 1, 2012. This was her only contribution to the account. On July 1, 2020, when the account balance was $6,000, she received a nonqualified distribution of $4,500. What is the taxable portion of the distribution and what amount of early distribution penalty will Heidi be required to pay on the distribution
Answer:
$450
Explanation:
For a ROTH 401 (k) qualified distribution to be non-taxable, either of the following conditions should be met:
1. Individual should be more 59 and a half years old or more.
2. Has held the account for 5 years or more.
In this case, Heidi invested at the age of 57 and received distribution of $4,500 after 8 years. So she meets both criteria but the type of distribution she received is a non-qualified one. So, $4,500 is subject to tax as per ordinary income at 10% that is $450 (0.1*4,500).
Heidi is not subject to any amount if early distribution penalty as she meets both criteria.
Sheila and Jim live in an island where they are the only two workers. Sheila can either catch 10 fish or gather 40 pounds of berries each day, and Jim can either catch 8 fish or gather 24 pounds of berries each day. Both of them work 200 days per year. At current world prices 1 fish trades for 3.5 pounds of berries. Who has the comparative advantage in producing berries
Answer:
SHEILA
Explanation:
A person has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people.
Sheila's opportunity cost in producing berries = 10/40 = 0.25
Jim's opportunity cost in producing berries = 8/24 = 0.33
Sheila has a lower opportunity cost in the production of berries and thus has a comparative advantage in the production of berries

Wallace Company provides the following data for next year: MonthBudgeted Sales January$ 120,000 February 108,000 March 132,000 April 144,000 The gross profit rate is 35 % of sales. Inventory at the end of December is $ 21,600 and target ending inventory level are 20 % of next month's sales, stated at cost. What is the amount of purchases budget for January
Answer:
$70440
Explanation:
Given data :
Month Budgeted sales
January $120,000
February $108,000
March $132,000
April $144,000
Gross profit rate = 35% of sales
Inventory at end of December = $21600
Target ending inventory level = 20% of next month sales
Determine the amount of purchases budget for January
First step : calculate
Cost of goods for January = Budgeted sales - Gross profit
= $120,000 - $42,000 = $78000
Next : determine ending inventory in January
= 20% * ( Budgeted sales in Feb * 65% )
= 20% * ($108000 * 65%) = $14040
Determine budgeted purchase using the Relation below
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Budgeted purchases - Ending inventory
78,000 = 21600 + Budgeted purchases - 14040
therefore
Budgeted purchases for January = ( 78,000 + 14040 - 21600 )
= $70440
A machine costing $450,000 with a four-year life and an estimated $30,000 salvage value is installed by Lux Company on January 1. The factory estimates the machine will produce 1,050,000 units of product during its life. It actually produces the following units for the first 2 years: year 1, 260,000; year 2, 275,000. What is the depreciation amount for year 2 under the double declining balance method
Answer:
$112,500
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
Depreciation expense in year 1 = 2/4 x $450,000 = $225,000
Book value at the beginning of year 2 = $450,000 - $225,000 = $225,000
Depreciation expense in year 2 = 2/4 x $225,000 = $112,500

(If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45).) Determine the net present value, and indicate whether the investment should be made.
Answer:
Hsung Company
a. The net present value is:
= $12,100.
b. Since the investment could yield a net present value of $12,100, the investment should be made.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cash cost of proposed capital investment = $226,445
Net annual cash inflows = $40,500
Present value factor of cash inflows for 10 years = 5.89 (rounded)
Present value of net annual cash inflows = $238,545 ($40,500 * 5.89)
The net present value of the proposed capital project = Present value of net annual cash inflows minus the initial investment cost
= $12,100 ($238,545 - $226,445)
Answer:
12100
Explanation:
40500*5.89=238545
238545-226445=12100

Crossroad Corporation is trying to decide whether to invest to automate a production line. If the project is accepted, labor costs will decrease by $753,000 per year. However, other cash operating expenses will increase by $216,000 per year. The equipment will cost $105,000 and is depreciable over 9 years using simplified straight line to a zero salvage value. Crossroad will invest $24,000 in net working capital at installation. The firm has a marginal tax rate of 34%. Calculate the firm's annual cash flows associated with the new project.
Answer:
The incremental revenue the company gets is:
= Labor cost decrease - Other cash increase
= 753,000 - 216,000
= $537,000
Depreciation = 105,000/ 9
= $11,667
Annual Cashflows (Year 1 - 9)
= (Incremental revenue - Depreciation) * ( 1 - tax) + Depreciation
= (537,000 - 11,667) * (1 - 34%) + 11,667
= $358,386.78
Cashflow in year 0
= Cost of equipment + Investment in net working capital
= -105,000 - 24,000
= -$129,000
A key difference between the APV, WACC, and FTE approaches to valuation is: how debt effects are considered; i.e. the target debt to value ratio and the level of debt. how the initial investment is treated. how the ratio of equity to debt is determined. how the unlevered cash flows are calculated. whether terminal values are included or not.
Answer: how debt effects are considered; i.e. the target debt to value ratio and the level of debt.
Explanation:
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) values a project by using a discount rate that encompasses all the costs of raising capital. It therefore includes the effects of debt financing in that rate.
Adjusted Present Value (APV) on the other hand, takes the net present value of a project assuming it was solely financed by equity and then adds the present value of the benefits of debt financing such as interest tax shields and costs of debt issuance. Debt is therefore not included in the model like WACC and so considers the effects of debt differently.

Dwyer Company reported the following results for the year ended December 31, 2007, its first year of operations: 2007 Income (per books before income taxes) $ 1,500,000 Taxable income 2,400,000 The disparity between book income and taxable income is attributable to a temporary difference which will reverse in 2008. What should Dwyer record as a net deferred tax asset or liability for the year ended December 31, 2007, assuming that the enacted tax rates in effect are 40% in 2007 and 35% in 2008?
Answer: $315,000 deferred tax asset
Explanation:
The amount that Dwyer should record as a net deferred tax asset or liability for the year ended December 31, 2007 will be calculated thus:
= ($2400000 – $1500000) × 35%
= $900000 × 35%
= $900000 × 35/100
= $900000 × 0.35
= $315000.
Therefore, the answer is $315,000 deferred tax asset

In 2020 the company would like to increase selling prices by 13.5%, and as a result expects a decrease in sales volume of 10%. All other operating expenses are expected to remain constant. Assume that cost of goods sold is a variable cost and that operating expenses are a fixed cost. What is budgeted cost of goods sold
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = $576,900
Explanation:
The budgeted cost of goods sold will be the sales volume in 2020 multiplied by cost per unit .
Sales volume in year 2020= (100-10)% × sales figure for 2019
= 90% × 160,250= 144,225
Cost of goods sold per unit = cost of goods sold in 2019/Sales units in 2019
= 641,000/160250=$4
Cost of goods sold = $4× 144,225 = $576,900
Cost of goods sold = $576,900

why do private and public sector cannot br looked up as two separate entities
Answer:
The private sector and the public sector cannot be viewed as separate entities because the two of them are closely intertwined.
Explanation:
The public sector defines the rules and conditions under which the private sector develops, and the private sector contributes to the finances of the private sector.
For example, a regulatory agency in an economic sector sets the rules of the mining economic sector in a country, and private mining companies abide by these rules in order to develop their business activity. Part of the revenue earned from these business activities are taken as taxes by the public sector, in order to finance the regulatory agency.
Sometimes, the public sector can also consists in public companies that can work together with private firms in common projects.

A firm's sustainable growth rate represents the:
percentage change in sales times the profit margin.
possible growth without jeopardizing net working capital.
highest growth rate without decreasing the dividend.
highest growth rate without increasing financial leverage.
What is the sustainable growth rate for a firm with net income of $2.90 million, cash dividends of $1.90 million, and return on equity of 16%? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
a. 9.12%
b. 1.32%
c. 5.52%
d. 3.72%
Answer:
1. A firm's sustainable growth rate represents the:
highest growth rate without increasing financial leverage.
2. The sustainable growth rate of a firm with net income of $2.90 million, cash dividends of $1.90 million, and return on equity of 16% is:
= c. 5.52%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sustainable growth rate = Return on equity * Retention rate
Net income = $2.90 million
Cash dividends 1.90 million
Retained earnings = $1.0 million
Retention rate = $1.0/$2.90 * 100 = 34.48%
Return on equity = 16%
Therefore, the sustainable growth rate = 16% * 34.48%
= 5.5168%
= 5.52%
b) Sustainable growth rate is the rate of revenue growth, which an entity can attain without increasing its financial leverage (debts). The sustainable growth rate answers the question of how much a company can grow without additional equity or debt financing. It is a ratio that investment analysts and investors widely seek. There are four main ways of increasing an entity's sustainable growth rate, including sale of debt, issue of equity, increased profitability through efficient sales revenue, and reduced dividends payout to increase retained earnings.
