Annual facility-level utilities $17,500
U-RIDE is currently operating profitably producing and selling 2,000 engines a year using 90% of its manufacturing capacity. Which of the following is true?
a. U-RIDE should make the engines for cost savings of $25 per unit.
b. Buying the units would increase U-RIDE's cost by $13 per unit.
c. U-RIDE has avoidable costs of greater than $200 per unit and should therefore buy the engines.
d. Buying the units would increase profitability by $38 per unit.
Buying the engines will free up manufacturing capacity that could be used to make a new economy line golf cart that would produce an additional $65,000 profit per year. U-RIDE is currently operating profitably producing and selling 2,500 engines annually. Based on this information, which of the following is true?
a. The $36,000 is not relevant because it is an estimate.
b. Buying the units would increase U-RIDE's cost by $13 per unit.
c. U-RIDE has avoidable costs of less than $200 per unit and should therefore buy engines.
d. The cost of buying the engines is $5 per unit less than the relevant cost of making the units.
U-RIDE has avoidable costs of greater than $200 per unit and should therefore buy the engines if the following is true. The cost of buying the engines is $5 per unit less than the relevant cost of making the units is true. Thus, option 1. (c) and 2. (d) are correct.
Cost of labor: $200
$5,500 a year is the cost of manufacturing equipment.
Purchasing industrial equipment costs $458.33 a month.
Engine at the product level costs $2,500 per year.
Engine at the product level costs $208.33 per month.
Monthly utilities at the facility level equal $17,500 annually.
Monthly facility utilities equal $1,458.33 annually.
Costs for a month are $200, $458.33, $208.33, and $1,458.33.
Total cost each month is $2,325
Total cost = $2,325 × 2,000 engines x 12 months
Cost in total is $55,800,000
$55,800,000 / 2,000 equals the price per unit.
Each unit costs $27,900.
Elect co = $235 times 2,500, or $587,500
Electco equals $587,500 minus $65,000, or $522,500.
2,500 engines at $27,900 per each make a total of 69,750,000 engines.

A construction worker was working at the construction site of a new building. An open elevator, which had been installed in the building by the elevator manufacturer, was used to haul workers and building materials between floors. While the worker was riding the elevator, it stalled between floors due to a manufacturing defect in the elevator. The worker called for assistance and was in no danger, but after waiting 15 minutes for help, he became anxious and jumped 12 feet to get out. He severely injured his back when he landed.
In an action by the worker against the elevator manufacturer to recover for his back injury, is the worker likely to obtain a judgment for 100% of his damages?
Answer:
No, because the worker was not in danger while on the stalled elevator.
Explanation:
Product liability is defined as the liability that the producer of a good bears for putting a defective or dangerous product in the hands of the consumer.
For any injury done to the consumer, the producer is liable.
However in this scenario when the elevator stalled he was in no danger, but after waiting 15 minutes for help, he became anxious and jumped 12 feet to get out. He severely injured his back when he landed.
The injury was not as a result of product defect. So the worker is not likely to obtain a judgment for 100% of his damages.
Slaq Computer Company manufactures notebook computers. The economic lifetime of a particular model is only four to six months, which means that Slaq has very little time to make adjustments in production capacity and supplier contracts over the production run. For a soon-to-be-introduced notebook, Slaq must negotiate a contract with a supplier of motherboards. Because supplier capacity is tight, this contract will specify the number of motherboards in advance of the start of the production run. At the time of contract negotiation, Slaq has forecasted that demand for the new notebook is normally distributed with a mean (�) of 10,000 units and a standard deviation (�) of 2,500 units. The net profit from a notebook sale is $500 (note that this includes the cost of the motherboard, as well as all other material; production, and shipping costs). (Hint: �! = $500) Motherboards cost $200 and have no salvage value (i.e., if they are not used for this particular model of notebook, they will have to be written off). (Hint: �" = $200) Use the news vendor model to compute a purchase quantity of motherboards that balances the cost of lost sales and the cost of excess material.
Answer:
11414.87205 units.
Explanation:
We have Underage cost cs to be $500
We have Overage cost Co to be $200
To get Critical fractile, we do this computation:
Cs/(Cs+Co)
500/(500+200)
500/700
0.714285714
Now the z score for this value,
normsinv(0.714285714)
= 0.565948821
To get what the question requires: mean+z-score*standard deviation
= 10000+(0.565948821*2500)
= 11414.87205 units
please note: I solved this without rounding the values.
We will have 10000+(0.57*2500)=11425 units if rounded
On June 30, 2021, Georgia-Atlantic, Inc. leased a warehouse equipment from IC Leasing Corporation. The lease agreement calls for Georgia-Atlantic to make semiannual lease payments of $464,149 over a four-year lease term, payable each June 30 and December 31, with the first payment at June 30, 2021. Georgia-Atlantic's incremental borrowing rate is 8%, the same rate IC uses to calculate lease payment amounts. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis at the end of each fiscal year. The fair value of the equipment is $3.2 million. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)Required:1. Determine the present value of the lease payments at June 30, 2021 that Georgia-Atlantic uses to record the right-of-use asset and lease liability.2. What pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021?3. What pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2021?(For all requirements, enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
A) = $3,249,995
B) pretax amount for for liability = $2,433,131
Depreciation amount for right of use = = $406,249
C) pretax amount for interest expense = $111,434
pretax amount for amortization expense = $406,249
Explanation:
1) Determining the present value of the lease payments at June 30 2021
semi-annual payments = $464149 for 4 - year lease term
total payments = 2 * 4 = 8
Yearly incremental borrowing = 8%
semi-annual incremental borrowing = 8/2 = 4%
hence present value of the lease payments
= semi annual lease payments * cumulative PV factor of annuity for the period
= $464149 * 7.00205 = $3,249,995
2) Determining The pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its balance sheet at December 31 2021
first we calculate the pretax amount of liability on 30.06.2021
= present value of lease payments - semi annual lease payments
= $3,249,995 - $464,149 = $2,785,846
next we calculate the Interest expense for 31.12.2021
= pretax amount * semi-annual incremental borrowing
= $2,785,846 * 4% = $111,434
Semiannual lease payment on 31.12.2021 = semiannual lease payment on 30.06.2021 which is = $464,149
Pre tax amount for liability for 31.12.2021
= pretax amount of liability + interest expense - semi annual lease payment
= $2,785,846 + $111,434 - $464,149 = $2,433,131
Depreciation on right to use assets for 2021
= present value of lease payments / 4 * ( 6/12 )
= ($3,249,995 / 4) * (6/12) = $406,249
Pre tax amount of right to use asset to be reported for 2021
= (present value of lease payments) - (depreciation on right to use assets)
= $3,249,995 - $406,249 = $2,843,746
3) Determine pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2021
Pre tax amount of interest expense Georgia Atlantic Inc. reports in its income statement will be
semi-annual lease payments * semi-annual incremental borrowing
= $2,785,846 * 4% = $111,434
Pre tax amount of amortization expenses Georgia Atlantic Inc. reports in its income statement will be
= (present value of lease payments / 4) * (6/12)
= $3,249,995 / 4 * 6/12 = $406,249

[accounting] A retailer completed a physical count of ending merchandise inventory. When counting inventory, employees did not include $2,200 of incoming goods shipped by a supplier on December 31 under FOB shipping point. These goods had been recorded in Merchandise Inventory, but they were not included in the physical count because they were in transit. This means shrinkage was incorrectly overstated by $2,200.
Compute the amount of overstatement or understatement for each of the following amounts for this period.
a. ending inventory
b. total assets
c. net income
d. total equity
Answer:
a. Ending inventory - UNDERSTATED by $2,200
The goods were shipped FOB shipping point which means that they should be included as inventory as soon as they are shipped by the supplier. As they were not, Inventory was understated by $2,200.
b. Total assets - UNDERSTATED by $2,200
Inventory is part of Assets so if Inventory is understated by $2,200 then so are Total Assets.
c. Net income - UNDERSTATED by $2,200
Ending Inventory is subtracted from Cost of Goods sold which is then subtracted from Revenue. As ending inventory was understated, that means Cost of Goods sold was Overstated and therefore had the effect of understating Revenue and by extension, Net Income.
d. Total equity - UNDERSTATED by $2,200
Net Income goes to Total equity as Retained earnings so if Net income is understated so also is Total equity.
The amount of understatement for ending inventory, total assets, net income, and total equity is $2200.
From the information given, the amount of overstatement or understatement for each amount for this period will be:
Ending inventory = $2200 = Understated Total assets = $2200 = Understated Net income = $2200 = Understated Total equity = $2200 = UnderstatedWhen inventory is understated, the assets will be understated too. Also, when net income is understated, total equity is understated too.

What is the amount of Maple Corp.'s charitable contribution deduction for the painting (assuming income limitations do not apply)
Answer:
The first part of the question is missing, so I looked for similar questions:
Maple Corp. owns several pieces of highly valued paintings that are on display in the corporation's headquarters. This year, it donated one of the paintings valued at $100,000 (adjusted basis of $25,000) to a local museum for the museum to display.
Maple Corp. can deduct $100,00 as charitable contribution.
When a corporation or an individual donates art work to a qualifying charity, they can deduct the fair market value of the art work if:
they have owned the art work for at least 1 year prior to the donationthe charity must use the art work in a manner directly related to its regular activities and missionthe charity must hold the art work for at least 3 years after you donated itthe IRS must classify the company or individual as an investor or art collector, e.g. artists cannot deduct donations of their own artPanarin Company entered into two contracts on the same date with Hjalmarsson Corporation. Pana has provided the following analysis of price and cost for the contracts: Hjalmarsson, the customer, may cancel both contracts if either of them is not fulfilled by Panarin in a timely manner. Stand-alone prices are typically $120,000 for the goods in Contract A and $80,000 for the goods in Contract B.
Required:
1. Should the two contracts be combined for purposes of applying the 5-step revenue recognition model?
2. What amount of revenue should Panarin associate with each of the contracts?
3. When should revenue be recognized on each of the contracts?
Here are some missing parts of your question.
contract price for a = 125,000, for b = 80,000
cost of related goods for a = 70,000 for b = 55,000
Explanation:
1. Both contracts should be combined for the the purpose of applying this model. so the answer is yes
2.
120000 + (5000 x 60%)
= 120000 + 3000
= $123000
80000 (5000 x 40%)
= 80000 + 2000
= $82000
from the question we were told that prices for Contract A is $120,000 while prices for Contract B is $80,000. the Contract price of Contract A put to be $125,000. so we have $5,000 more that should be shared between the contracts a and b. so the obligations for goods from A is calculated to be $123,000 and tht of contract B is $82,000.
c.
when control of goods is shifted to customer then the revenue has to be recognized

Answer: False
Explanation:
The economy is at its Natural rate of Unemployment when Total Unemployment is the result of only Frictional and structural unemployment because Cyclical Unemployment is as a result of the Economic cycle and so is not counted as part of the natural rate.
Here;
Frictional unemployment (3.2) + Structural Unemployment (1.1) = Total Unemployment (4.3)
This economy is at its Natural rate of unemployment.

As Builders was preparing its bid on the construction project based upon the low bid submitted by Alpha, Builders’ president called Alpha and told him, "We won’t be able to do it with your present bid, but if you can shave off $5,000, I’m sure that the numbers will be there for us to get that project." Alpha responded, "No way! In fact, that bid we submitted was based on a $15,000 error; we can’t do it for a cent less than $90,000." Nevertheless, Builders submitted its bid for the construction project using Alpha’s original $75,000 bid. Builders was not awarded the construction job and subsequently sued Alpha. Alpha is liable for:________.
Answer:
Alpha is liable for nothing.
Explanation:
Builders requested Alpha to make a discount (which is considered a counteroffer) but Alpha rejected it. At this point there was no valid offer anymore, and luckily for Builders, they lost the bid. Since a counteroffer invalidates an original offer, Alpha didn't have any type of obligation with Builders to perform at $75,000. The new price between them was $90,000, take it or leave it. Builder's president made a mistake when he made his counteroffer and if they had won the contract, then they would have needed to look at the other offers.
Builders asked Alpha for a discount, however, Alpha declined. At this moment, there's no longer a legitimate offer, as well as fortunately for Builders, they dropped the bid.
Because a counteroffer nullifies an earlier commitment, Alpha was under no duty to Contractors to execute at $75,000. They agreed on new pricing of $90,000, accept or reject it.This same president make mistake when before he submitted his counteroffer because if they will indeed have just been awarded the contract, they would've had to examine the other proposals.Thus the statement above is correct.

Washington State Fisheries, Inc., processes salmon for various distributors. Two departments, processing and packaging, are involved. Data relating to tons of salmon sent to the processing department during May follow:
Percent Completed Tons of Salmon Direct Materials Conversion
Work-in-process inventory, May 1 1,960 80 % 70 %
Work-in-Process inventory, May 31 3,340 50 % 30 %
Started processing during May 8,150
Required:
1. Calculate the number of tons completed and transferred out during the month.
2. Calculate the number of equivalent units for both direct materials and conversion for the month of May, assuming that the company uses the weighted-average method.
3. How would your answer in requirement 2 change if the percentage of completion in ending inventory were as follows:
direct materials 30%, conversion 40%
Answer:
1. Calculate the number of tons completed and transferred out during the month.
tons completed and transferred out = 1,960 + 8,150 - 3,340 = 6,770
2. Calculate the number of equivalent units for both direct materials and conversion for the month of May, assuming that the company uses the weighted-average method.
EU for materials = 6,770 + 1,670 = 8,440 EU
EU for conversion costs = 6,770 + 1,002 = 7,772 EU
3. How would your answer in requirement 2 change if the percentage of completion in ending inventory were as follows:
direct materials 30%, conversion 40%
EU for materials = 6,770 + 1,002 = 7,772 EU
EU for conversion costs = 6,770 + 1,336 = 8,106 EU
Explanation:
beginning WIP 1,960
materials 80% (20% remaining 392 EU)
conversion 70% (30% remaining 588 EU)
ending WIP 3,340
materials 50% (1,670 EU)
conversion 30% (1,002 EU)
tons started during May 8,150
alternative ending WIP 3,340

A factory costs $290,000. You forecast that it will produce cash inflows of $85,000 in year 1, $145,000 in year 2, and $230,000 in year 3. The discount rate is 10%. a. What is the value of the factory
Answer:
The value of the factory is $79,909.84
Explanation:
The computation of the value of the factory is shown below:
= Initial investment + annual year cash flows ÷ (1 + rate of return)^number of years
= -$290,000 + $85,000 ÷ (1.10) + $145,000 ÷ (1.10)^2 + $230,000 ÷ (1.10)^3
After solving this, the value of the factory is equivalent to
= $79,909.84
Hence, the value of the factory is $79,909.84
Orange Inc., an orange juice producer with a current debt-to-equity ratio of 2, is considering expanding its operations to produce toothpaste. Unsurprisingly, the toothpaste industry faces a different set of risks than the orange juice industry. However, the executives at Orange Inc. observe that Paste Inc., a toothpaste company, has a cost of equity of 12%, a cost of debt of 6%, and a debt-to-value ratio of 40%. Orange Inc. plans to finance its expansion into toothpaste production with 50% debt and 50% equity. The cost of debt for Orange Inc. is also 6%, and the corporate tax rate is 25%. Solve for the discount rate that Orange Inc. should use when evaluating whether to go forward with the expansion Note: Orange Inc. does not want to use the Adjusted Present Value method.

Assume Last Inc. has no cash on hand, but wants to take on a project that adds $30 million in market value to the firm's assets, and has an NPV of $20 million. The project requires an initial investment of $10 million. LastQ Inc. wants to maintain its 50% Debt to Value Ratio.
How much debt should LastQ issue, and how much should they pay stockholders in dividends?
Issue $30 million in debt, pay $5 million to shareholders
Issue $15 million in debt, pay $5 million to shareholders Issue $10 million in debt, pay $20 million to shareholders
Issue $20 million in debt, pay $8 million to shareholders
Answer:
Appropriate Rate = 8.85%
Explanation:
Given the following :
Paste Inc,
cost of debt (Kd) = 6% = 0.06
Cost of Equity Ke = 12% = 0.12
Weight of debt ; Wd = 40%
Weight of equity; We = 1 - 40% = 0.6
Pretax discount :
We * Ke + Wd * Kd
0.6 * 0.12 + 0.4 * 0.06 = 0.096
For orange :
Weight of debt (Wd) = 50% = 0.5
Weight of Equity (We) = 50% = 0.5
Cost of debt (Kd) = 6% = 0.06
Tax rate (r) = 25% = 0.25
Cost of Equity (Ke) :
Pretax discount + 1(pretax discount - cost of debt)
0.096 + 1(0.096 - 0.06)
0.096 + 0.096 - 0.06 = 0.132
WACC: for orange Inc.
We * Ke + Wd * Kd * ( 1 - tax rate)
0.5 * 0.132 + 0.5 * 0.06 * (1 - 0.25)
0.5 * 0.132 + 0.5 * 0.06 * 0.75
0.066 + 0.0225
= 0.0885
= 0.0885 * 100%
= 8.85%

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $240 per order
Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Expected annual manufacturing overhead is $1,570,706. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.31 or ($1,570,706 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models.
The company’s managers identified six activity cost pools and related cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follows.

Suppose you are the agent for a baseball pitcher. Suppose he is offered the following contract by the New York Yankees: a signing bonus of $3,000,000 (to be received immediately), a first year’s salary of $6,000,000 (to be received one year from today), a second year’s salary of $7,000,000 (to be received two years from today), and a third year’s salary of $8,000,000 (to be received three years from today). Suppose he is offered the following contracts by the San Francisco Giants: a signing bonus of $6,000,000, a first year’s salary of $5,500,000, a second year’s salary of $6,000,000, and a third year’s salary of $6,000,000.
If you believe the interest rate is 10%, which offer would you advise the pitcher to accept?
Would your advice change if you believed the interest rate were 5%?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
New York Yankees:
Signing bonus= $3,000,000
Cf1= $6,000,000
Cf2= $7,000,000
Cf3= $8,000,000
San Francisco Giants:
Signing bonus= $6,000,000
Cf1= $5,500,000
Cf2= $6,000,000
Cf3= $6,000,000
The best option is the one with the higher Present Value.
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV= Cf/(1+i)^n
a) New York Yankees:
Cf0=3,000,000
Cf1= 6,000,000/1.1= 5,454,545.45
Cf2= 7,000,000/1.1^2= 5,785,123.97
Cf3= 8,000,000/1.1^3= 6,010,518.41
Total PV= $20,250,187.83
San Francisco Giants:
Cf0= 6,000,000
Cf1= 5,500,000/1.1= 5,000,000
Cf2= 6,000,000/1.1^2= 4,958,677.69
Cf3= 6,000,000/1.1^3= 4,507,888.81
Total PV= $20,466,566.5
At an interest rate of 10%, the contract of San Francisco Giants is the more profitable.
b) i= 5%
New York Yankees:
Cf0=3,000,000
Cf1= 6,000,000/1.05= 5,714,285.71
Cf2= 7,000,000/1.05^2= 6,349,206.35
Cf3= 8,000,000/1.05^3= 6,910,700.79
Total PV= $21,974,192.85
San Francisco Giants:
Cf0= 6,000,000
Cf1= 5,500,000/1.05= 5,238,095.24
Cf2= 6,000,000/1.05^2= 5,442,176.87
Cf3= 6,000,000/1.05^3= 5,183,025.59
Total PV= $21,863,297.7
At an interest rate of 5%, the contract of New York Yankees is the more profitable.
