Primara Corporation has a standard cost system in which it applies overhead to products based on the standard direct labor-hours allowed for the actual output of the period. Data concerning the most recent year appear below:
Total budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year $530,400
Actual fixed overhead cost for the year $521,000
Budgeted standard direct labor-hours (denominator level of activity) 68,000
Actual direct labor-hours 69,000
Standard direct labor-hours allowed for the actual output 66,000
Required:
1. Compute the fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year.
2. Compute the fixed overhead budget variance and volume variance.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. Predetermined overhead rate
= Total fixed overhead cost for the year / Budgeted standard direct labor hour
Predetermined overhead rate = $530,400 / 68,000
Predetermined overhead rate
= $7.8 per direct labor hour
2. i. Fixed overhead budget variance
= Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead
= $521,000 - $530,400
= $9,400 favourable
ii Fixed overhead volume variance
= Budgeter fixed overhead - Fixed overhead applied to work in process
= $530,400 - (66,000 × $7.8)
= $530,000 - $514,800
= $15,200 unfavorable

Benson Corporation manufactures car stereos. It is a division of Berna Motors, which manufactures vehicles. Benson sells car stereos to Berna, as well as to other vehicle manufacturers and retail stores. The following information is available for Benson's standard unit: variable cost per unit $37, fixed cost per unit $23, and selling price to outside customer $86. Berna currently purchases a standard unit from an outside supplier for $80. Because of quality concerns and to ensure a reliable supply, the top management of Berna has ordered Benson to provide 200,000 units per year at a transfer price of $35 per unit. Benson is already operating at full capacity. Benson can avoid $3 per unit of variable selling costs by selling the unit internally.
1. What is the minimum transfer price that Benson should accept? ,
2. What is the potential loss to the corporation as a whole resulting from this forced transfer?
Answer:
Potential loss to the whole corporation = $(60,000)
Explanation:
The Benson Division is operating at full capacity, hence it has no excess capacity .
This implies that it can not produce enough to meet both demand of internal and external buyers.
Hence, Benson Division cannot accommodate the demands of the Berna Division at a price lower than the external price, because it will result to a loss in contribution.
To maximize and optimize the group's profit in this scenario, the minimum transfer should be:
Minimum transfer price = External selling price - savings in selling cost resulting from in internal transfer
= $86-3= 83
Minimum transfer price = $83.
Effect on Group's profit
Any unit transferred at a priced lower than $83 would result in a unit loss to the Benson Division equal to $83 minus the transfer price.
Any unit transferred to Berna at a price lower that its current purchase cost would save the division an amount equal to the current purchase cost minus the forced transfer price.
The potential loss to the organization as a whole would be computed as the net effect of the following:
Lost contribution by Benson : The difference between the Minimum transfer price and the transfer imposed by the group company multiplied by the quantity transferred.
Savings made by the Berna Division : The difference between the forced transfer price and current purchase of Berna.
We can summarize the effect of the forced transfer price on the whole corporation as follows:
Lost contribution per unit = 83 - 35= 48 .
Savings made per unit = 80 - 35 = 45
$
Total lost contribution by Benson
(48 × 200,000) (960,000)
Savings made by Berna as result of the transfer
(45 × 200,000) 900,000
Potential loss to the group (60,000)
Potential loss to the whole corporation = $(60,000)

Calculate the amount paid for goodwill.
Answer:
the amount paid for goodwill is $3,500,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount paid for goodwill is given below
But before that the net fair value of assets would be determined
Net fair value of assets purchased is
= ($7,500,000 + $14,000,000 + $1,500,000) - ($4,000,000 + $5,500,000)
= $13,500,000
Now Amount paid for goodwill is
= $17,000,000 - $13,500,000
= $3,500,000
Hence the amount paid for goodwill is $3,500,000

Stephanie Robbins is attempting to perform an inventory analysis on one of her most popular products. Annual demand for this product is 5,000 units; carrying cost is $50 per unit per year; order costs for her company typically run nearly $30 per order; and lead time averages 10 days. (Assume 250 working days per year.) a) The economic order quantity is b) The average inventory is c) The optimal number of orders per year is d) The optimal number of working days between orders is e) The total annual inventory cost (carrying costordering cost) is f) The reorder point is
Solution :
Given :
The annual demand, [tex]$D=5000$[/tex] units
Ordering cost, [tex]$S=\$30$[/tex]
Carrying cost, [tex]$H=\$50$[/tex]
Lead time, L = 10 days
Number of days per year = 250 days
So, average demand is d = [tex]$\frac{D}{250}$[/tex] days
= [tex]$\frac{5000}{250}$[/tex] = 20 units
a). The economic order quantity, Q = [tex]$\sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 5000 \times 30}{50}}$[/tex]
= 77 units
b). Average inventory = [tex]$\frac{Q}{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{77}{2}$[/tex]
≈ 39 units
c). Number of orders per year = [tex]$\frac{D}{Q}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{5000}{77}$[/tex]
= 65 units
d). Time between orders = [tex]$\frac{Q}{D}$[/tex] x number of days per year
[tex]$=\frac{77}{5000} \times250$[/tex]
= 3.85
e). Annual ordering cost = [tex]$\frac{D}{Q} \times S$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{5000}{77} \times 30$[/tex]
= $ 1948.05
Annual carrying cost = [tex]$\frac{Q}{2} \times H$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{77}{2} \times 50$[/tex]
= $ 1925
Total annual cost of inventory = $ 1948.05 + $ 1925
= $ 3873.05
f). Reorder point = [tex]$d \times L$[/tex]
[tex]$=20 \times 10$[/tex]
[tex]$=200$[/tex] units

Each division's costs are provided below: Extraction: Variable costs per barrel of oil $14 Fixed costs per barrel of oil $5 Refining: Variable costs per barrel of oil $27 Fixed costs per barrel of oil $31 The Refining Division has been operating at a capacity of 40,200 barrels a day and usually purchases 25,100 barrels of oil from the Extraction Division and 15,600 barrels from other suppliers at $58 per barrel. What is the transfer price per barrel from the Extraction Division to the Refining Division, assuming the method used to place a value on each barrel of oil is 180% of variable costs
Answer: $25.20
Explanation:
The transfer price per barrel from the Extraction Division to the Refining Division, assuming the method used to place a value on each barrel of oil is 180% of variable costs will be calculated thus:
Variable cost of extraction division = $14
Transfer price will now be:
= 180% × $14
= 180/100 × $14
= 1.8 × $14
= $25.20

Use straight line depreciation and a 40% income tax rate to compute the:
a. after-tax cash flows
b. the IRR for the ATCF of this project.
Answer:
= 15700
73.5%
Explanation:
Cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation = 15700
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
20,000 / 5 = 4,000
($28,500 - $5000 - $4000) x (1-0.4) + 4000 = $15700
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = -20,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = 15,700
IRR = 73.5%
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Olsen Outfitters Inc. believes that its optimal capital structure consists of 65% common equity and 35% debt, and its tax rate is 40%. Olsen must raise additional capital to fund its upcoming expansion. The firm will have $2 million of retained earnings with a cost of rs = 12%. New common stock in an amount up to $7 million would have a cost of re = 16%. Furthermore, Olsen can raise up to $2 million of debt at an interest rate of rd = 10%, and an additional $5 million of debt at rd = 12%. The CFO estimates that a proposed expansion would require an investment of $5.7 million.
Required:
What is the WACC for the last dollar raised to complete the expansion? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer: 12.5%
Explanation:
Amount that will be raised with Equity = 65% * 5,700,000 = $3,705,000
This is more than the retained earnings so new equity will have to be issued at cost of 16%
Amount raised by debt = 35% * 5,700,000 = $1,995,000
Less than $2 million so cost of debt is 10%
WACC = cost of equity * weight of equity + weight of debt * cost of debt * ( 1 - tax rate)
= (16% * 65% ) + (35% * 10% * (1 - 40% tax))
= 12.5%
a. State and describe the concept that leads to "conflict of goals between a firm's managers and its shareholders. Give a modern day example of this concept, and discuss some potential solutions.
b. State and describe the concept that states, "factors of production are somewhat immobile." Give an example with detail.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. State and describe the concept that leads to "conflict of goals between a firm's managers and its shareholders. Give a modern day example of this concept, and discuss some potential solutions.
This is referred to as the agency problem. This brings about conflict of goals between the manager and the shareholders. An example is when the managers use the resources of the company for their own personal benefits or in a scenario whereby the managers fake the earnings so that the stock prices will rise temporarily.
b. State and describe the concept that states, "factors of production are somewhat immobile." Give an example with detail.
This is referred to as imperfect market theory. When transferring labor, capital or other resources, there are costs attached to the transfer and restrictions as well. .

We have the following information for the Valverde company. The stock pays a $1 dividend and it will grow by 12% the first year, 9% the second year and 3% forever after that. The unlevered bheta is 1, D/E is 75/25 and the tax rate is .3. Additionally, we know the treasury bond rate is 0.04 and the ROR of the S&P has been 10%.
Required:
Derive the stock price of Valverde.
Answer:
P0 = $5.99394080634 rounded off to $5.99
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so on g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return
We first need to calculate the levered beta of Valverde.
Levered Beta = Unlevered Beta * [1+ (1-tax rate) * (Debt/Equity)]
Levered Beta = 1 * [(1 + (1 - 0.3) * (75/25)]
Levered Beta = 3.1
We first need to calculate the cost of equity (r) using the CAPM equation. The equation is,
r = risk free rate + Levered Beta * (Expected return on Market - risk free rate)
We know that the risk free rate is 0.04 or 4%, the beta is 3.1 and the expected return on market is 0.1 or 10%.
r = 0.04 + 3.1 * (0.1 - 0.04)
r = 0.226 or 22.6%
Now, using the DDM equation, the price of stock will be,
P0 = 1 * (1+0.12) / (1+0.226) + 1 * (1+0.12) * (1+0.09) / (1+0.226)^2 +
[(1 * (1+0.12) * (1+0.09) * (1+0.03) / (0.226 - 0.03)) / (1+0.226)^2]
P0 = $5.99394080634 rounded off to $5.99
P0 = $99.2830 rounded off to $99.28
Hill Corporation issued $2,100,000 of 8% bonds at 98 on January 2, 2019. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31.

March 31, 2022:
Debit Bond Liability $2,247,000
Debit Interest Payable $42,000
Credit Cash $2,289,000
To record the recall of the bonds, including accrued interest.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 2, 2019: Face value of bonds issued = $2,100,000
Proceeds from the issue of the bonds at 98 = 2,058,000
Discount from the issue = $42,000
Semi-annual amortization under straight-line = $2,100 ($42,000/20)
Coupon interest rate = 8% with payment made semiannually
Annual interest payment = $168,000 ($2,100,000 * 8%)
Semiannual interest payment = $84,000 ($2,100,000 * 4%)
Bonds duration = 10 years
March 31, 2022 Recall price of 107 = $2,247,000
Accrued interest from January 1 to March 31 = $42,000
Total payment to bondholders = $2,289,000

Add Preferred Stock Dividends $195,000
Earnings attributable to Common Stock holders $3,665,000
Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Outstanding is calculated as :
Outstanding end of the year 2,500,000 shares
therefore,
Diluted earnings per share = $3,665,000 / 2,500,000 shares = $1.47
Determine whether certain products are likely sold in a monopoly, perfectly competitive or monopolistically competitive markets.
a. There are a small number of producers of deodorant. Each firm's products are slightly different. For example, some are lavender scented, while others are citrus scented. Would you expect that the market for deodorant is a monopoly, perfectly competitive or monopolistically competitive? Why?
b. There are many producers of soybeans, and each farmer's soybeans are indistinguishable from his or her neighbor's soybeans. Would you expect that the market for soybeans is a monopoly, perfectly competitive or monopolistically competitive? Why?
c. There are many producers of roasted coffee beans, and each roaster has its own special roasting technique. Coffee beans purchased from one roaster are noticeably different from beans purchased from another roaster. Would you expect that the market for roasted coffee beans is a monopoly, perfectly competitive or monopolistically competitive? Why?
d. There is a sole firm providing power in Tampa Florida. The firms price is regulated by the government. Would you expect that the firm providing power in Tampa is a monopoly, perfectly competitive or monopolistically competitive? Why?
Answer:
monopolistically competitive
a monopolistically competitive is characterised by differentiated goods. A monopoly has only one seller. So, the market for deodorants is not a monopoly because there are plenty sellers
perfectly competitive industry sells homogenous products. The deodorants differ by smell. Thus it is not a perfect competition
b. Perfect competition
there are many sellers and the goods sold are homogenous
c. monopolistically competitive
the coffee beams are differentiated and there are many sellers
d. monopoly
there is only one seller
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company
In order to motivate our sales force to increase sales, we decided to increase our commissions and salaries and increase marketing. At the same time, our supplier increased its prices, and we felt we could pass that cost increase on to our customers in the form of price increase. However, with the additional pressure to make sales, coupled with the increased sales price, we had to loosen credit terms on sales. We also had to lease a little more distribution space and acquire another truck to handle the volume increase. Our shipping expense relates to gasoline on deliveries. Luckily, gas prices went down from what we originally expected this year.
In the table below, classify EACH ACCOUNT on the budget according to whether the variances in the performance report are consistent or inconsistent with the client’s story, or unexplained by the client’s story. Place an "X" in the appropriate column. If the Revenue/Spending Variance and Activity Variance differ with respect to one account (i.e., one is consistent and one is inconsistent) then indicate which belongs in which column.
Consistent
Inconsistent
Unexplained
Sales revenue
Cost of Goods Sold
Commission
Shipping Expense
Bad debt expense
Salaries
Lease of distribution center
Depreciation of fleet and equip
Advertising
Office rent, phone, internet
Answer:
Sales Revenue - Inconsistent
Cost of Goods Sold - Inconsistent
Commission - Consistent
Shipping expense - Inconsistent
Bad debt expense - Unexplained
Salaries - Consistent
Lease of distribution center - Consistent
Depreciation of fleet and equipment - Inconsistent
Advertising - Consistent
Office rent, Phone, Internet - Inconsistent
Explanation:
The increase in selling price will result in change in the revenue figure. The cost of distribution is increased due to handling the addition volume. This will result in an increase in shipping expense and cost of goods sold. Salaries and commission of the staff will remain consistent as there will be no change due to increase of selling price.
An investor deposits 50 in an investment account on January 1. The following summarizes the activity in the account during the year: DateValue Immediately Before DepositDeposit March 154020 June 18080 October 117575 On June 30, the value of the account is 157.50. On December 31, the value of the account is X. Using the time-weighted method, the equivalent annual effective yield during the first 6 months is equal to the (time-weighted) annual effective yield during the entire 1-year period. Calculate X.
Answer:
236.25
Explanation:
Calculation to determine X
First step is to calculate the 6 months Yield
6 month Yield=(40/40+20) (80/40+20) (157.60/80+80)+1)
6 month Yield=(40/60) (80/60) (157.60/160)-1
6 month Yield=5%
Second step is to calculate the Annual equivalent
Annual equivalent=(1.05)^2-1
Annual equivalent=10.25%
Third step is to calculate the 1 year yield
1 year yield=(40/50) (80/40+20) (175/80+80) (x/175+75)
1 year yield=(40/50) (80/60) (175/160) (x/250)-1
1 year yield=0.1025
Now Let calculate X
x(0.004667)=1+.1025
x(0.004667)=1.1025
x=1.1025/0.004667
x=236.25
Therefore X is 236.25
Two methods can be used to produce expansion anchors. Method A costs $80,000 initially and will have a $15,000 salvage value after 3 years. The op-erating cost with this method will be $30,000 in year 1, increasing by $4000 each year. Method B will have a first cost of $120,000, an operating cost of $8000 in year 1, increasing by $6500 each year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. At an interest rate of 12% per year, which method should be used on the basis of a present worth analysis
Answer:
Method B should be used
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the present worth (in bold red color) of Methods A and B.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Present worth of Method A = –$150,261.25
Present worth of Method B = –$125,178.34
Since the present worth of Method B of –$125,178.34 is lower than the present worth of Method A of –$150,261.25, it implies that Method B cost is less and more attractive at an interest rate of 12% per year than Method A cost. Therefore, Method B should be used.
