Answer:
the lump-sum payment amount would he be indifferent between the two alternatives is $5,361,497.79
Explanation:
The computation of the lump-sum payment amount would be shown below:
= Annual cash flow per year × present value of annuity due factor at 4% for 25 years
= $330,000 × 16.246963
= $5,361,497.79
Refer the present value of annuity due factor table for the same
hence, the lump-sum payment amount would he be indifferent between the two alternatives is $5,361,497.79
Hershberger's Farms plans to mix two types of food to make a mix of low cost feed for the animals in his farm. A bag of food costs $10 and contains 40 units of protein, 20 units of minerals and 10 units of vitamins. A bag of food B costs $12 and contains 30 units of proteins, 20 units of minerals and 30 units of vitamins. Daily minimum requirements consist of 150 units of proteins, 90 units of minerals and 60 units of vitamins.
a. Based on the lowest possible cost, how many bags of food A and food B should be consumed by the animals each day?
b. What is the overall cost? $46.50
c. Was there any unused resources?
Answer:
Following are the responses to the given choices:
Explanation:
For point a:
It is possible to say that as the material unit in either bag are same, the minimum bag number is 90 /20 = 4.5
rounded off=Minimum 5 bags
They will try to use all of these bags as the cost of bag A is poor.
When we have five bags of protein A, therefore the vitamin requirements were n’t fulfilled.
Currently, using 4 bags of A and 1 B bag, protein, vitamin and mineral obligations are fulfilled. They all are met.
Therefore, 4 food bags A and 1 food bag B need to be consumed due to the lowest cost.
For point b:
Cost total:
[tex]=( 4 \times 10 ) + ( 1 \times 12)\\\\=40 +12\\\\= \$52[/tex]
For point c:
The following are unused resources:
[tex]\text{Protein = Bag A + Bag B - Consumption}\\\\= 160 + 30 - 150\\\\=190-150\\\\= 40\\\\Minerals = 10 \\\\vitamins = 10[/tex]
Cooper Company currently uses the FIFO method to account for its inventory but is considering a switch to LIFO before the books are closed for the year. Selected data for the year are:
Merchandise inventory, January 1 $1,430,000
Current assets 3,603,600
Total assets (operating) 5,720,000
Cost of goods sold (FIFO) 2,230,800
Merchandise inventory, December 31 (LIFO) 1,544,400
Merchandise inventory, December 31 (FIFO) 1,887,600
Current liabilities 1,144,000
Net sales 3,832,400
Operating expenses 915,200
1. Compute the current ratio, inventory turnover ratio, and rate of return on operating assets assuming the company continues using FIFO.
2. Repeat part (a) assuming the company adjusts its accounts to the LIFO inventory method.
Answer:
Cooper Company
1. FIFO:
Current ratio
= 3.15
Inventory turnover ratio
= 1.34
Rate of return on operating assets
= 12%
2. LIFO:
Current ratio
= 2.85
Inventory turnover ratio
= 1.73
Rate of return on operating assets
= 12.8%

Current liabilities 1,144,000 1,144,000
Average inventory 1,658,800 1,487,200
FIFO:
Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities
= $3,603,600/$1,144,000 = 3.15
Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory
= $2,230,800/$1,658,800
= 1.34
Rate of return on operating assets = Net income/Total assets * 100
= $686,400/$5,720,000 * 100
= 12%
LIFO:
Current ratio = $3,260,400/$1,144,000
= 2.85
Inventory turnover ratio = $2,574,000/$1,487,200
= 1.73
Rate of return on operating assets = $686,400/$5,376,800 * 100
= 12.8%

Paige is a scratch golfer, former Division I college golf star and past member of the LPGA tour. She is well-known for her ability to teach golf techniques and is often hired to teach golf clinics. Beatriz was a less successful golf clinic consultant who was just starting out and was hired to run a clinic for Par Golf Promotions. Beatriz was nervous about the clinic because it was her first and she asked Paige if she could fill in for her and Paige agreed. What is this transfer called and will it be allowed under the law of contracts
Answer:
This contract transfer is called a delegation. It will be allowed under the law of contracts, provided there is no provision or contract term in the original contract forbidding such transfer.
Explanation:
A delegation involves the appointment of Paige to perform Beatriz's duties under the golf clinic contract. This transfer is distinguishable from a contract assignment, which involves the transfer of the contract rights and obligations by Beatriz (the assignor) to Paige (the assignee). A transfer by delegation does not allow the assignee to assume all the obligations and rights but to specifically perform a duty.
an unmarried taxpayer, has wages of $45,000. He has a significant amount of income from dividends and interest and therefore expects to have a federal income tax liability of $18,000. His total federal income tax withholding for the year is $9,500. Randy had $100,000 of adjusted gross income and a federal tax liability of $11,000 on his 2017 return. To avoid a penalty for underpayment of estimated taxes, what is the minimum amount of total estimated tax that Randy must pay in 2018
Answer: $8500
Explanation:
Since the total amount of estimated tax liability for 2018 is $18000 and the tax withholding is $9500$, then the balance tax payable for 2018 will be:
= $18000 - $9500
= $8500
Therefore, the minimum amount of total estimated tax that Randy must pay in 2018 in order to avoid a penalty for underpayment of estimated taxes will be $8500
Please select the proper term in each of the descriptions. Because of the existence of certain types of market failure, employers can still engage in and not necessarily lose profits. As an individual allocates their time, they face a trade-off between and work. Employers have some control over and adjust them in order to compensate for the danger or unpleasantness of a job and help contribute to certain types of market failure. Not all markets are perfectly competitive, due to the presence of , which advocates for better salaries and working conditions on behalf of their members.
Answer:
Because of the existence of certain types of market failure, employers can still engage in DISCRIMINATION and not necessarily lose profits.
Due to the existence of market failures like asymmetric information held by the employers, they can be able to discriminate in the wages they pay to employees such that they do not lose profit.
As an individual allocates their time, they face a trade-off between LEISURE and work.
An individual spends their time between leisure and work and they need to find a trade-off between the two that they are comfortable with because more hours allocated to one means less hours to the other.
Employers have some control over WAGES and adjust them in order to compensate for the danger or unpleasantness of a job and help contribute to certain types of market failure.
As a result of employers adjusting wages to suit the job characteristics or to entice employees, the job can contribute to market failure if the wages being paid are simply too high for that position.
Not all markets are perfectly competitive, due to the presence of UNIONS, which advocates for better salaries and working conditions on behalf of their members.
Unions campaign for their members to get better salaries and working conditions which might not be representative of the contribution of the job which leads to a situation where the market is no longer competitive because the tradeoff is not balanced.

During the current year, Comma Co. had outstanding: 25,000 shares of common stock; 8,000 shares of $20 par, 10% cumulative preferred stock; and 3,000 bonds that are $1,000 par and 9% convertible. The bonds were originally issued at par, and each bond was convertible into 30 shares of common stock. During the year, net income was $200,000, no dividends were declared, and the tax rate was 30%. What amount was Comma's basic earnings per share for the current year?
a. $7.55
b. $7.36
c. $8.00
d. $3.38
Answer:
b. $7.36
Explanation:
The computation of the basic earning per share is shown below;
Basic earnings per share
= (Net income - Preferred dividends) ÷ Outstanding common shares
= [$200,000 - (8000 × $20 × 10%)] ÷ 25,000
= ($200,000 - $16,000) ÷ 25,000
= $184,000 ÷ 25,000
= $7.36
Hence, the option b is correct

Thomas believes that he has an NOL for the current year and wants to carry it back to a previous year and receive a tax refund. In determining his NOL, Thomas offset his business income by alimony payments he made to his ex-wife, contributions he made to his traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA), and moving expenses he incurred. His reason for using these items in the NOL computation is that each item is a deduction for AGI.
Required:
Identify the relevant tax issues for Thomas

An auto repair shop orders cleaning rags in batches of 120 boxes. This inventory is depleted at a constant rate and new rags are ordered to arrive exactly when the on-hand inventory of rags reaches zero boxes. What is the average inventory level over time
Answer:
60
Explanation:
the computation of the average inventory level over time is given below:
As the order is placed only when the inventory level is zero
So, The average inventory level is
= (120 +0) ÷ 2
= 60
Hence, the average inventory level over time is 60
The same would be considered and relevant
Basically we take an average of it to determine the average inventory level
Sunland Company had the following department data: Physical Units Work in process, beginning 0 Completed and transferred out 90900 Work in process, ending 7800 Materials are added at the beginning of the process. What is the total number of equivalent units for materials during the period?
Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 98,700
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Physical Units Work in process, beginning 0
Completed and transferred out 90,900
Work in process, ending 7,800
Materials are added at the beginning of the process.
To calculate the equivalent units, we need to use the following formula:
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= 0 + 90,900 + 7,800*1
Equivalent units of production= 98,700
Because the materials are added at the beginning of the process, the percentage of completion is 100%.

What amount would be reported for investing net cash flows on the Statement of Cash Flows (put a minus number in front if it is negative)
Answer:
yidgjdgxoxykhchlchlcjlchkdsgidyidtiwtiststjsjtsitsjyskydgkdhkkhdmhykdkydtkstskystjdkhcjgxjgxkgzykswtjjtssykdohdhk
The following amounts were received by ABC throughout the course of the year: $10,000 from consumers; $6,000 from the bank for long-term borrowing; $5,000 to suppliers; $1,000 in dividends; $2,000 to employees; and $8,000 for machinery. The amount that would be reported for investment net cash flows is -8000.
What is meant by Cash Flow?A cash flow is a physical or fictitious flow of funds:
The phrase "cash flow" is typically used to represent payments that are anticipated to occur in the future, are thus unknown, and so need to be projected using cash flows;
A cash flow in its restricted sense is a payment (in a currency), especially from one central bank account to another;
A cash flow is determined by its time t, nominal amount N, currency CCY, and account A; symbolically, CF = CF (t,N,CCY,A).
Nonetheless, it is common to use the term "cash flow" in a less precise sense to describe (symbolic) payments into or out of a business, project, or financial product.

Part U67 is used in one of Broce Corporation's products. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the 15,400 units of the part that are needed every year.
Per Unit
Direct materials $2.30
Direct labor $3.30
Variable overhead $6.10
Supervisor's salary $6.60
Depreciation of special equipment $7.70
Allocated general overhead $4.80
An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $27.00 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the outside supplier's offer were accepted, only $21,400 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided.
Required:
a. Prepare a report that shows the financial impact of buying part U67 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company.
b. Which alternative should the company choose?
Answer:
Broce Corporation
a. The Financial Impact of Buying Part U67 is as follows:
Differential Analysis:
Cost of buying from supplier = $415,800 (15,400 * $27)
Avoidable cost of making = 303,220
Differential cost for buying = $112,500
b. The company should choose to continue to produce the part internally.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production units for the year = 15,400
Per Unit Costs:
Direct materials $2.30
Direct labor $3.30
Variable overhead $6.10
Total variable costs $11.70
Supervisor's salary $6.60
Depreciation of special equipment $7.70
Allocated general overhead $4.80
Total fixed costs $19.10
Total costs $30.80
Outside supplier's offer per unit = $27
Avoidable costs:
Direct materials $2.30
Direct labor $3.30
Variable overhead $6.10
Supervisor's salary $6.60
Total avoidable variable costs $18.30 * 15,400 = $281,820
General overhead costs 21,400
Total avoidable costs = $303,220
Differential Analysis:
Cost of buying from supplier = $415,800 (15,400 * $27)
Avoidable cost of making = 303,220
Differential cost for buying = $112,500
Suppose that Toyota operates two large plants: one in Japan and one in the United States. In the Japanese plant it takes Toyota 4 hours to produce a sedan and 3 hours to produce a truck. In the plant in the United States it take Toyota 6 hours to produce a sedan and 4 hours to produce a truck. This implies that ___________ has the absolute advantage in producing sedans and _____________ has the absolute advantage in producing trucks. Japan ; Japan Japan ; United States United States ; Japan United States ; United States no one ; Japan no one ; United States Japan ; no one United States ; no one no one ; no one
Answer: Japan ; Japan
Explanation:
Absolute advantage in the production of a good means that one is able to produce more of the good in a certain period of time. This can also mean that they take a shorter time to produce a single unit of a good.
Going by this definition, Japan has an absolute advantage in the production of both sedans and trucks because they take less time to produce both types of vehicles which means that they can produce more of both than the United States if given a certain period of time.

Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $280,000 and have a useful life of five years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $80,769 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $11,000. A machine costs $200,000, has a $15,000 salvage value, is expected to last seven years, and will generate an after-tax income of $44,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the payback period for each investment is shown below;
For Option 1
= Initial Investment ÷ Annual Cash Flow
= $280,000 ÷ $134,569
= 2.081 Year
Here Annual cash inflow is
= Net income + Depreciation
= $80,769 + (($280,000 - $11,000) ÷ 5)
= $134,569
For Option-2
= Initial Investment ÷ Annual Cash Flow
= $200,000 ÷ $70,429
= 2.84 Year
Here Annual cash inflow is
= Net income + Depreciation
= $44,000 + (($200,000 - $15,000) ÷ 7)
= $70,429

Ficus, Inc. began business on March 1 of the current year, and elected to file its income tax return on a calendar-year basis. The corporation incurred $800 in organizational expenditures. Assuming the corporation does not elect to expense but chooses to amortize the costs over 180 months, the maximum allowable deduction for amortization of organizational expenditures in the current year is: a.$44.44 b.$800.00 c.$4.44 d.$53.28 e.None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
a. $44.44
Explanation:
The amortization will be allowed for 10 months in the year (March-December) as the return is filed on a calendar year basis. The deduction allowed per month $4.44 ($800 / 180).
The maximum allowable deduction for amortization of organizational expenditures in the current year is $44.44 ($4.44*10 months).
An ARMA(3, 0) model is fit to the following quarterly time series: Year Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4 2018 3.53 1.33 1.85 0.61 2019 0.98 3.61 3.44 3.38 2020 2.91 2.12 4.62 2.93 The estimated coefficients are: ar1 ar2 ar3 intercept 0.252 0.061 -0.202 2.637 Forecast the value for Quarter 1 of 2021. Give full explanation on how you arrived to your answer. Show calculations. A. Less that 3.00 B. At least 3.00, but less than 3.25 C. At least 3.25, but less than 3.50 D. Atleast 3.50, but less than 3.75 E. At least 3.75.
Answer: A. Less that 3.00
Explanation:
We will essentially be using a multiple regression formula to predict the value of the first quarter of 2021.
Equation is:
Y₂₀₂₁ = Intercept + ar1X₁ + ar2X₂ + ar3X₃
Y = Quarter 1, 2021
X₁ = Quarter 1, 2018
X₂ = Quarter 1, 2019
X₃ = Quarter 1, 2020
= 2.637 + (0.252 * 3.53) + (0.061 * 0.98) + (-0.202 * 2.91)
= 2.99852
This is less than 3 so the first option is correct.
Park Place Company reported cost of goods sold of $140,000 for the year 2020. Park Place also reported the following amounts on its balance sheets. Jan. 1, 2020Dec. 31, 2020 Inventory$25,000$27,500 Accounts payable15,00014,500 What amount would be reported as cash paid to suppliers in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows using the direct method
Answer:
the cash paid to supplier is $143,000
Explanation:
The computation of the cash paid to the supplier is given below;
Purchases = Ending inventory + cost of goods sold - beginning inventory
= $27,500 + $140,000 - $25,000
= $142,500
Now the Cash paid to supplier is
= Beginning account payable + purchases - ending account payable
= $15,000 + $142,500 - $14,500
= $143,000
hence the cash paid to supplier is $143,000
The standards for product V28 call for 8.3 pounds of a raw material that costs $19.00 per pound. Last month, 2,200 pounds of the raw material were purchased for $41,360. The actual output of the month was 240 units of product V28. A total of 2,100 pounds of the raw material were used to produce this output.
The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.
Required:
a. What is the materials price variance for the month?
b. What is the materials quantity variance for the month?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (19 - 18.8)*2,200
Direct material price variance= $440 favorable
Actual price= 41,360 / 2,200= $18.8
Now, we can determine the direct material quantity variance:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (8.3*240 - 2,100)*19
Direct material quantity variance= $2,052 unfavorable
