Lumpkin Company sells lamps and other lighting fixtures. The purchasing department manager prepared the following inventory purchases budget. Lumpkin’s policy is to maintain an ending inventory balance equal to 10 percent of the following month’s cost of goods sold. April’s budgeted cost of goods sold is $40,000. Required Complete the inventory purchases budget by filling in the missing amounts.
Answer:
February.
Desired ending inventory = 10% of March Cost of goods(COGS):
= 10% * 35,000
= $3,500
Inventory needed = COGS + ending inventory
= 32,000 + 3,500
= $35,500
Beginning inventory = January ending inventory = $3,200
Required Purchases = Inventory needed - Beginning inventory
= 35,500 - 3,200
= $32,300
March
Desired ending inventory = 10% of April COGS:
= 10% * 40,000
= $4,000
Inventory needed:
= 35,000 + 4,000
= $39,000
Beginning inventory = February ending inventory = $3,500
Required purchases:
= 39,000 - 3,500
= $35,500
Russell Retail Group begins the year with inventory of $65,000 and ends the year with inventory of $55,000. During the year, the company has four purchases for the following amounts. Purchase on February 17 $ 220,000 Purchase on May 6 140,000 Purchase on September 8 170,000 Purchase on December 4 420,000 Required: Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer:
COGS= $960,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventroy= $65,000
Ending inventory= $55,000
Total Purchase= 220,000 + 140,000 + 170,000+ 420,000= $950,000
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending inventory
COGS= 65,000 + 950,000 - 55,000
COGS= $960,000
An economy is in long-run macroeconomic equilibrium when each of the following aggregate demand shocks occurs: a. A stock market boom increases the value of stocks held by households. b. Firms come to believe that a recession is likely in the near future. c. Anticipating the possibility of war, the government increases its purchases of military equipment. d. The quantity of money in the economy declines, and interest rates increase.
Answer:
Following are the solution to these question:
Explanation:
In point a:
The population feels wealthier and seems to be socially secure. This will boost consumption, moving AD to the correct. There is a difference in deflation. Govt must adopt a discretionary monetary policy to fight deflation, that will change AD left.
In point b:
Expenditure has been decreased to increasing jobs or costs. Disinflationary distance exists. To improve DA (shift rectors) and restore full job production, Govt must pursue the expansionary monetary policy.
In point c:
It will once again raise NPA because part A contributes to even more competition with higher public expenditure. The deflation divide is that there is. That alternative is an expansionary tax reform to move to the left.
In point d:
The rise in interest rates declines expenditure and, as part B, reduces AD. The deflationary difference remains. Government must use expansionary monetary policy to fight it, moving AD to a correct.
Polson Pool Company is involved in a number of competitive bidding situations. The following costs are anticipated for a project to be bid for Terrance Manufacturing:
Direct material $ 680,000
Direct labor 2,450,000
Allocated variable overhead 570,000
Allocated fixed cost 230,000
Which of these costs would be treated differently if Polson had either excess capacity or no excess capacity?
a. Allocated variable overhead, $570,000
b. Direct labor, $2,450,000
c. Allocated fixed cost, $230,000
d. Direct materials used, $680,000.
Answer: c. Allocated fixed cost, $230,000
Explanation:
The Allocated fixed cost is fixed based on a certain level of production. If Polson had excess capacity to produce more goods or no excess capacity, the allocated fixed costs would have to be treated differently to account for this.
The variable costs however would not have to change because they are already based on the quantity of goods produced so even if there is excess or no excess capacity, their cost per unit would not change.
Kim works for a clothing manufacturer as a dress designer. During 2020, she travels to New York City to attend five days of fashion shows and then spends three days sightseeing. Her expenses are as follows:
Airfare $1,800
Lodging (8 nights) 2,340
Meals (8 days) 2,160
Airport transportation 115
Assume lodging/meals are the same amount for the business and personal portion of the trip ($293 per day for lodging and $270 per day for meals).
Required:
a. Presuming no reimbursement, how much can kim deduct as to the trip?
b. Would the tax treatment of Kim's deduction differ if she was an independent contractor (rather than an employee)? Explain.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Presuming no reimbursement, how much can kim deduct as to the trip?
Airfare = $1,800
Add: Lodging = $2340 × 5/8 = $1462.50
Add: Meals = $2160 × 5/8 × 50% = $675
Add: Airport transportation = $115
Total deduction = $4052.50
b. Would the tax treatment of Kim's deduction differ if she was an independent contractor (rather than an employee)? Explain
The tax treatment of Kim's deduction if she was an independent contractor will be:
Airfare = $1,800
Add: Lodging = $2340 × 5/8 = $1462.50
Add: Meals = $2160 × 5/8 × 50% = $675
Add: Airport transportation = $115
Total deduction = $4052.50
Therefore, the tax treatment of Kim's deduction still remains the same.

Following are data for BioBeans and GreenKale, which sell organic produce and are of similar size. BioBeans GreenKale Average total assets $ 215,000 $ 166,500 Net sales 105,000 33,300 Net income 15,050 3,900 Required: 1a. Compute the profit margin for both companies. 1b. Compute the return on total assets for both companies. 2. Based on analysis of these two measures, which company is the preferred investment
Answer:
1a. We have:
BioBeans' profit margin = 14.33%
GreenKale's profit margin = 11.71%
1b. We have:
BioBeans' return on total assets = 7%
GreenKale's return on total assets = 2.34%
2. BioBeans is the preferred investment.
Explanation:
1a. Compute the profit margin for both companies.
Profit margin = Net income / Net sales ........... (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
BioBeans' profit margin = $15,050 / $105,000 = 0.1433, or 14.33%
GreenKale's profit margin = $3,900 / $33,300 = 0.1171, or 11.71%
1b. Compute the return on total assets for both companies.
Return on total assets = Net income / Average total assets ............ (2)
Using equation (1), we have:
BioBeans' return on total assets = $15,050 / $215,000 = 0.07, or 7%
GreenKale's return on total assets = $3,900 / $166,500 = 0.0234, or 2.34%
2. Based on analysis of these two measures, which company is the preferred investment?
Since the profit margin and return on total assets of BioBeans are greater than the profit margin and return on total assets of GreenKale, this indicates that BioBeans is the preferred investment.

Mongar Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours. Budgeted and actual overhead costs for the most recent month appear below:
Original Budget Actual Costs
Variable overhead costs:
Supplies $7,980 $8,230
Indirect labor 29,820 29,610
Total variable manufacturing overhead cost $37,800 $37,840
The original budget was based on 4,200 machine-hours. The company actually worked 4,350 machine-hours during the month and the standard hours allowed for the actual output were 4,190 machine-hours. What was the overall variable overhead efficiency variance for the month?
a. $130 Unfavorable
b. $950 Favorable
c. $1,440 Unfavorable
d. $1,310 Favorable
Answer:
c. $1,440 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Standard hours - Actual working hours) * Standard Rate
Variable overhead efficiency variance = ($4,190 hours - $4,350 hours)*($37,800/4,200 hours)
Variable overhead efficiency variance = ($4,190 hours - $4,350 hours)*$9 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance = 160 hours*$9 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance = $1,440 Unfavorable

Jensen Automotive produces alternators for American-made cars. They generally use a static budget with the following costs based on 8,000 units per month: indirect materials, $22,000; indirect labor, $25,000; utilities, $12,000; supervision, $4,000; depreciation, $18,000. If Jensen wanted to create a flexible budget for 9,000 units, what value would they record for variable costs
Answer:
the value that should be recorded for variable cost is $66,375
Explanation:
The computation of the value that should be recorded for variable cost is shown below:
= Total variable cost ÷ budgeted units × flexible budget units
= ($22,000 + $25,000 + $12,000) ÷ 8,000 units × 9,000 units
= $59,000 ÷ 8,000 units × 9,000 units
= $66,375
hence, the value that should be recorded for variable cost is $66,375

1. A part is produced in lots of 1,000 units. It is assembled from two components worth $50 total. The value added in production (for labor and variable overhead) is $60 per unit, bringing total costs per completed unit to $110. The average lead time for the part is 6 weeks and annual demand is 3,800 units, based on 50 business weeks per year. a. How many units of the part are held, on average, in cycle inventory
Answer:
A. Average cycle inventory 500 units
Value of cycle inventory $55,000
B. Average pipeline inventory 456 units
Value of the pipeline inventory $36,480
Explanation:
a. Calculation to determine How many units of the part are held, on average, in cycle inventory
Calculation for Average cycle inventory
Average cycle inventory=1000/2
Average cycle inventory=500 units
Therefore the Average cycle inventory is 500 units
Calculation for Value of cycle inventory
Value of cycle inventory=(500 units) *($50+$60)
Value of cycle inventory=(500 units*$110)
Value of cycle inventory=$55,000
Therefore the Value of cycle inventory is $55,000
b. Calculation to determine Avarage Pipeline inventory and Value of the pipeline inventory
First step is to calculate the unit cost using this formula
Unit cost = Material + 50%of labor and variable overhead
Let plug in the formula
Unit cost=$50+(50%*$60)
Unit cost= $50 + $30
Unit cost= $80
Now let calculate the Average pipeline inventory
Average pipeline inventory = = [(3800 units/year)/(50wks/yr)] x (6 weeks)
Average pipeline inventory= 456 units
Therefore Average pipeline inventory is 456 units
Calculation to determine Value of the pipeline inventory
Value of the pipeline inventory = (456 units) x ($50+$30)
Value of the pipeline inventory=456 units×$80
Value of the pipeline inventory= $36,480
Therefore the Value of the pipeline inventory is $36,480

B. Country Selection 1.80% loss relative to EAFE
C. Stock Selection -2.6%loss relative to EAFE
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the contribution to total performance from currency, country, and stock selection for the manager in the
A. Calculation for CURRENCY SELECTION
Using this formula
EAFE / Manager weight * Currency appreciation ( E1 / E0 - 1 )
Let plug in the formula
EAFE =[ 0.6 * ( 1 - 1 ) ] + [ 0.3 * ( 1.4 - 1 ) ] + [ 0.1 * ( 1.2- 1 ) ]
EAFE= 0+0.12+0.02
EAFE=14%
Manager =[ 0.6 * ( 1- 1 ) ] + [ 0.1 * ( 1.4 - 1 ) ] + [ 0.3 * ( 1.2- 1 ) ]
Manager=0+0.04+0.06
Manager=10%
Loss relative to EAFE=(10%-14%)
Loss relative to EAFE=4%
4% loss relative to EAFE
B. Calculation for COUNTRY SELECTION
Using this formula
EAFE/ Manager weight × Return on Equity Index
Let plug in the formula
EAFE = [ 0.6 * 15% + 0.3 * 16% + 0.1* 20% ]
EAFE = 0.09+0.048+0.02
EAFE = 15.8%
Manager = [ 0.6 * 12% + 0.1 * 17% + 0.3 * 17% ] Manager =0.072+0.017+0.051
Manager =14%
Loss relative to EAFE=15.8%-14%
Loss relative to EAFE=1.80%
1.80% loss relative to EAFE
C. Calculation for STOCK SELECTION
Using this formula
Stock Selection=( Manager’s return - Return on Equity Index ) × Manager weight
Let plug in the formula
Stock Selection=[ ( 12% - 15% ) * 0.6 ] + [ ( 17% - 16% ) * 0.1 ] + [ ( 17% - 20% ) * 0.3 ]
Stock Selection=-0.018+0.001+-0.009

A classified balance sheet shows the Assets, Liability and Equity Balances in their respective categories as shown above.
You have your choice of two investment accounts. Investment A is a 6-year annuity that features end-of-month $1,980 payments and has an interest rate of 7 percent compounded monthly. Investment B is an annually compounded lump-sum investment with an interest rate of 9 percent, also good for 6 years.
How much money would you need to invest in B today for it to be worth as much as Investment A 6 years from now? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
$112,166
Explanation:
the future value of Investment A:
payment = $1,980
n = 6 x 12 = 72
i = 9% / 12 = 0.75%
FVIFA = [(1 + i)ⁿ- 1 ] / i = [(1 + 0.0075)⁷² - 1 ] / 0.0075 = 95.007
future value = $1,980 x 95.007 = $188,114
now we need to determine the PV of investment B:
PV = $188,114 / (1 + 9%)⁶ = $112,166
Answer: $105,264.24
Explanation:
Step 1) Calculate Future Value of Investment A
Rate: .07/12 = .58%
Payment: $1,980
Term: 72 (6 years * 12 months)
Future Value: ?
In excel -> FV(.58,72,-1980,0)
Future Value = $176,538.67
Step 2) Calculate Present Value of Investment B using Investment A Future Value
Rate: .09
Payment: $0
Term: 6
Future Value: $176,538.67 (from step 1)
PV(.09,6,0,-176538.67)
Present Value = $105,264.24
Thats your answer!! ^^^^^
You can also use the formula or calculator, but I've found excel is the easiest/fastest.
Cheers!

Determine the likely impact of a 3 percent decline in global income on the overall demand of your product.
a. Demand will decline by approximately 0.1%, but since income elasticity isn't significantly different from zero, it likely won't fall at all.
b. Demand will fall by nearly 10%, and income elasticity is significantly less than zero.
c. Demand will fall by nearly 1%, and income elasticity is significantly less than zero.
d. Demand will decline by approximately 3%, but since income elasticity isn't significantly different from zero, it likely won't fall at all.
Answer:
lnQ=C 1.29 + -0.07 lnP + -0.03 lnM
c. Demand will fall by nearly 1% and income elasticity is significantly less than zero.
Explanation:
Income elasticity is a major factor which impact the demand of a product. It measures the change in quantity demanded due to change in income. In the given scenario the demand for product will decline due to change in income. The income elasticity is smaller there will not be major change in demand but there will be some impact observed on the quantity demanded.
