Answer:
Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300
The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine.
Explanation:
Differential Analysis
Purchase cost of the new machine (83,000)
Savings from annual variable cost(8500×8) 68,000
Variable cost of running the new machine (5,000×8) (40,000)
Scrap value of the old machine 56,300
Differential savings 1,300
Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300
The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine. It is a past cost incurred as a result old decision.
Suppose you trade dollars and euros for a bank that has branches in Los Angeles and Frankfurt. You can electronically transfer the funds between the two branch locations at no cost, and trading commissions are negligible. The current dollar-per-euro exchange rate in Los Angeles is E$/EURLA=1.5653 , while in Frankfurt, it is E$/EURFR=1.586.
You can make a profit for the bank if you buy euros in _______ and sell them in _________.
Answer:
Explanation:
Profit will be made by you for the bank if you buy the Euros in Los Angeles, and sell the Euros to customers in Frankfurt...
Buying in Los Angeles comes at a price of $1 = €1.5653, then going ahead to sell in Frankfurt means you get to sell it at a rate of $1 = €1.586
Although this is a very tiny difference, of 0.0207. The reality is that when you're doing a lot of tradings that involves currency, you tend to see the profit. If for example, a total of $1 million is traded, then the profit would be $20700, which we all can attest to the fact that it's a lot of money.
Evanson Company expects to produce 540,000 units of their product during the year. Monthly production is expected to range from 40,000 to 80,000 units. The company has budgeted manufacturing costs per unit to be as follows: Direct materials $ 14 Direct labor 15 Variable manufacturing overhead 16 Fixed manufacturing overhead 3 Prepare a flexible manufacturing budget using 20,000 unit increments.
Answer:
Evanson Company
Evanson Company
Flexible Monthly Budget
Activity Level:
Finished goods (Units) 40,000 60,000 80,000
Variable costs:
Direct materials $560,000 $840,000 $1,120,000
Direct labor 600,000 900,000 1,200,000
Manufacturing overhead 640,000 960,000 1,280,000
Total variable costs $1,800,000 $2,700,000 $3,600,000
Fixed manufacturing
overhead 135,000 135,000 135,000
Total production costs $1,935,000 $2,835,000 $3,735,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected production units per year = 540,000
Average monthly production units = 45,000 (540,000/12)
Manufacturing costs per unit:
Direct materials $ 14
Direct labor 15
Variable manufacturing overhead 16
Fixed manufacturing overhead 3
Total yearly fixed overhead = $1,620,000 (540,000 * $3)
Monthly fixed overhead = $135,000 ($1,620,000/12)
b) A flexible budget has varying activity levels from one period to the next. One interesting feature of the flexible budget is that the variable costs are fixed per unit, but their totals vary with the volume levels. On the other hand, the fixed costs remain static in totals but vary per unit.
The standard cost of direct labor per unit is calculated by:_______
A. multiplying the standard quantity of direct labor by the standard price of direct labor.
B. multiplying the actual quantity of direct labor by the standard price of direct labor.
C. dividing the standard quantity of direct labor by the standard price of direct labor.
D. adding the standard quantity of direct labor to the standard price of direct labor.
Answer:
A. multiplying the standard quantity of direct labor by the standard price of direct labor.
Explanation:
Standard cost of direct labor = Standard quantity*Standard price. Standard cost of direct labor per hour are calculated and compared with the Actual cost of direct labor per hour and multiplied by Actual hours used to calculate direct labor rate variance.
So, option A (multiplying the standard quantity of direct labor by the standard price of direct labor) is correct.

Suppose that the demand for milk in the United States is represented by the following equation, where P is the price of a gallon of milk. QD = 200 – 10P The supply of milk is represented by the following equation: QS = –10 + 50P The equilibrium price of a gallon of milk is a) $ (give your answer to two decimals), and the equilibrium quantity is b) million gallons.
Answer:
a.
P = $3.50 per gallon
b.
Equilibrium Quantity = 165 million gallons
Explanation:
a.
The equilibrium price is the price at which Quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. To calculate the equilibrium price using the given equations for demand and supply, we need to equate both equations.
Equilibrium Price (P) calculation
QD = QS
200 - 10P = -10 + 50P
200 + 10 = 50P + 10P
210 = 60P
P = 210 / 60
P = $3.50 per gallon
b.
The equilibrium quantity can be calculated by inserting the value of Price (P) in any of the equation for demand or supply.
Equilibrium Quantity = 200 - 10(3.50)
Equilibrium Quantity = 200 - 35
Equilibrium Quantity = 165 million gallons

Oriole Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 600 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory 270 $30 $ 8,100 April 15 purchase 440 36 15,840 April 23 purchase 290 39 11,310 1,000 $35,250 Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the FIFO method. Ending inventory $enter a dollar amount Cost of goods sold $enter a dollar amount
Answer:
. Ending inventory = $15,270
cost of goods sold = $19,980
Explanation:
FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold
the cost of goods sold would be determined using the prices of inventories on April 1 and 15
cost of goods sold
270 x $30 = $8100
+
(600 - 270) x $36 = $11,880
cost of goods sold = $19,980
ending inventory would consist of the inventory not sold on April 15 and the inventory bought on April 23
inventory not sold on April 15 = 440 - (600 - 270) = 110
110 x 36 = $3960
+
290 x 39 = 11,310
total = $15,270
Scott Company has 5 sales employees, each of whom earns $16,000 per month and is paid on the last working day of the month. Each employee's wages are subject to FICA social security taxes of 6.2% and Medicare taxes of 1.45% on all wages. Withholding for each employee also includes federal income tax of 16% and monthly medical insurance premiums of $440 for each employee. Metro Express also pays federal unemployment taxes of 0.8% of the first $7,000 paid each employee, and state unemployment taxes of 4.0% of the first $7,000 paid to each employee.
Required:
Prepare the journal entries to record (1) the employee’s wages and payroll taxes at January 31, (2) the employer’s payroll taxes at January 31, and (3) payment of the employer’s payroll tax liabilities at January 31 for Metro Express. Metro Express deposits taxes monthly.
Answer:
Scott Company
Journal Entries:
January 31:
Debit Payroll $80,000
Credit Salaries Payable $57,200
Credit Payroll Taxes Payable $22,800
To record the salaries and taxes payable.
Debit Salaries Payable $57,200
Debit Payroll Taxes Payable $22,800
Credit Cash $80,000
To record the payment of the salaries and taxes.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of sales employees = 5
Salary per month = $16,000 each
Withholding taxes:
FICA social security taxes of 6.2% = $992
Medicare taxes 1.45% = $232
Federal income tax = 16% = $2,560
Monthly Medical Insurance = $440
FUTA = 0.8% of the first $7,000 = $56
SUTA = 4.0% of the first $7,000 = $280
Total withholding tax deductions = $4,560
Payroll total ($16,000 * 5) = $80,000
Withholding taxes for each:
FICA social security taxes of 6.2% = $992 * 5 - $4,960
Medicare taxes 1.45% = $232 * 5 - $1,160
Federal income tax = 16% = $2,560 * 5 - $12,800
Monthly Medical Insurance = $440 * 5 - $2,200
FUTA = 0.8% of the first $7,000 = $56 * 5 - $280
SUTA = 4.0% of the first $7,000 = $280 * 5 - $1,400
Total withholding tax deductions = $4,560 * 5 = $22,800
Net pay = $57,200

D. always behave rationally because they are overly optimistic about their future behavior. E. do not always behave rationally because they take into account nonmonetary opportunity costs.
Answer:
A. do not always behave rationally because they ignore sunk costs.
Explanation:
Behavioral economics can be defined as a branch of economics that typically deals with the study of market transactions in which consumers of goods and services make choices or buying decisions that doesn't look economically rational.
According to behavioral economics, consumers do not always behave rationally because they ignore sunk costs i.e being overly optimistic about their behavior in the future while ignoring the fact that the money has been spent on purchase and cannot be recovered again.
Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered. Thus, because a sunk cost has been incurred by an individual or organization it can't be recovered and as such it is irrelevant in the decision-making process such as investments, projects etc.
Basically, sunk costs are referred to as fixed costs.

Answer:
Personality affects all aspects of a person's performance, even how he reacts to situations on the job. Not every personality is suited for every job position, so it's important to recognize personality traits and pair employees with the duties that fit their personalities the best. This can lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction, helping your organization to function more efficiently. Personality can be seen as the motor which drives behavior. It's consistent over time and across situations, and has been proven to predict our success at work over the course of 50 or more years. The most widely accepted model of personality-the 'Big Five' model-uses five distinct scales to describe personality: conscientiousness (the extent to which one is dependable and persistent), emotional stability(one's calmness and self-control), extraversion (a measure of sociability, ambition and narcissism), agreeableness (the extent to which one is cooperative and altruistic), and openness to experience (a measure of creativity and novelty-seeking) Personality Personality is so widely studied concept by the psychologists that "personality psychology" is taken as a separate discipline of psychology.

Instructions
Compute the depreciation expense under the following methods and complete the depreciation schedules below.
(a) Straight-line depreciation.
(b) Activity method for 2014 and 2015, assuming that machine usage was 15,000 hours for 2014; 11,710 hours for 2015; 12,150 hours for 2016 and 1,140 hours for 2017.
(c) Sum-of-the-years'-digits.
(d) Double-declining-balance.
Answer:
(a) Straight-line depreciation.
depreciation expense per year = ($315,900 - $15,900) / 4 = $75,000
(b) Activity method for 2014 and 2015, assuming that machine usage was 15,000 hours for 2014; 11,710 hours for 2015; 12,150 hours for 2016 and 1,140 hours for 2017.
depreciation expense per unit = $300,000 / 40,000 = $7.50 per unit
depreciation expense 2014 = $7.50 x 15,000 = $112,500
depreciation expense 2015 = $7.50 x 11,710 = $87,825
(c) Sum-of-the-years'-digits.
depreciation expense 2014 = $300,000 x 4/10 = $120,000
depreciation expense 2015 = $300,000 x 3/10 = $90,000
(d) Double-declining-balance.
depreciation expense 2014 = $315,900 x 2 x 1/4 = $157,950
depreciation expense 2015 = $157,950 x 2 x 1/4 = $78,975
depreciation expense 2016 = $78,975 x 2 x 1/4 = $39,487.50
depreciation expense 2017 = $39,487.50 - $15,900 = $23,587.50
Two of Interpret Inc's products, QI and VH, emerge from a joint process. Product QI has been allocated $15,300 of the total joint costs of $36,000. A total of 2,200 units of product QI are produced from the joint process. Product QI can be sold at the split-off point for $10 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $10,200 and then sold for $12 per unit. If product QI is processed further and sold, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company compared with sale in its unprocessed form directly after the split-off point
Answer:
($5,800)
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company
Product QI
Sales value after further processing $26,400
($12 × 2,200)
Less Costs of further processing ($10,200)
Benefit of further processing $16,200
($26,400-$10,200)
Less Sales value at split-off point ($22,000)
($10 × 2,200)
Net advantage (disadvantage) ($5,800)
($16,200-$22,000)
Therefore what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company is ($5,800)
JDog Corporation owns stock in Oscar Inc. valued at $2,000,000 at the beginning of the year and $2,200,000 at year-end. Jdog received a $10,000 dividend from Oscar Inc. What temporary book-tax differences associated with its ownership in Oscar stock will Jdog report for the year in the following alternative scenarios (income difference only-ignore the dividends-received deduction)?
a. JDog owns 5 percent of the Oscar Inc. stock. Oscar's income for the year was $500,000.
b. JDog owns 40 percent of the Oscar Inc. stock. Oscar's income for the year was $500,000.
Answer:
a. The temporary book-tax differences associated with 5 percent ownership in Oscar stock which Jdog will report for the year is $0.
b. The temporary book-tax differences associated with 40 percent ownership in Oscar stock which Jdog will report for the year is $190,000.
Explanation:
a. JDog owns 5 percent of the Oscar Inc. stock. Oscar's income for the year was $500,000
The 5 percent ownership implies that JDog has to report $10,000 in book income, and also report $10,000 in gross income. Therefore, we have:
Temporary book difference = Amount to report in book income – Amount to report in gross income = $10,000 - $10,000 = $0
Therefore, the temporary book-tax differences associated with 5 percent ownership in Oscar stock which Jdog will report for the year is $0.
b. JDog owns 40 percent of the Oscar Inc. stock. Oscar's income for the year was $500,000.
The 40 percent ownership implies that:
Amount to report in book income = $40% * $500,000 = $200,000
Amount to report in gross income = $10,000
Temporary book difference = Amount to report in book income – Amount to report in gross income = $200,000 - $10,000 = $190,000
Therefore, the temporary book-tax differences associated with 40 percent ownership in Oscar stock which Jdog will report for the year is $190,000.

Cinnamon Buns Co. (CBC) started 2021 with $52,500 of merchandise on hand. During 2021, $284,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 2/10 n/30. All discounts were taken. Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. CBC paid freight charges of $9,800. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $3,000 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $302,000. CBC uses a perpetual inventory system. What is cost of goods available for sale, assuming CBC uses the gross method
Answer:
$337,680
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cost of goods available for sale, assuming CBC uses the gross method
Beginning inventory $52,500
Inventory purchased $284,000
Freight $9,800
Merchandise returned ($3,000)
Discounts [($284,000 – $3,000) x 2%)] ($5,620)
Cost of goods available for sale $337,680
Therefore the cost of goods available for sale, assuming CBC uses the gross method is $337,680
Suppose that you are running a business, and you need some extra space for one year. Your bank offers you a loan of $200,000 at 0% interest. You consider borrowing this amount to buy the building, use it for one year, and then sell the building to pay back the loan. Unfortunately, the economy in which you are operating is experiencing deflation at the rate of 10% per year. After one year, you should be able to sell the building for____.
Suppose that owning the building for a year would earn you $12,000. To decide whether you will be better off by owning it for one year and then selling it, you seek advice from three different people: (1) Your brother says that you should not buy the building because in one year it will cost you $200,000. (2) Your accountant says that you should definitely buy the building because you can borrow $200,000 at zero interest while the building will generate $12,000 in extra income. Then when you sell it, you will be $12,000 richer. (3) Your bookkeeper says that if you sell the building in a year, you will have to come up with more money to pay off the loan than you will make in extra income.
Keeping in mind that the economy experiences deflation at the rate of 10%, who is right?
A. Your bookkeeper is right, because the extra income you will earn will be less than the cost of owning the building for the year.
B. Your brother is correct, because when the nominal interest rate is zero, the cost of a building is its full purchase price.
C. Your accountant is right, because when the nominal interest rate is zero, you do not incur any cost when you take out a loan.
Now, suppose you inherited $200,000 in cash from your uncle who had kept it hidden in his mattress. Assuming the nominal interest rate is -1%, which of the following options will maximize the amount of cash that you have in one year?
A. Holding onto your $200,000 in cash.
B. Buying the building, because you can earn an additional $12,000 in income if you own the building for one year and then sell it.
C. Depositing the cash in the bank, because the 10% rate of deflation makes the value of your dollars fall even more rapidly than 1% per year.
A high real interest rate will keep firms from borrowing to finance investment in capital, but it will not keep firms with cash from investing in capital.
A. False
B. True
Answer:
Question 1
The building will depreciate by 10% in one year so in one year you will only be able to sell it for:
= 200,000 * ( 1 - 10%)
= $180,000
Question 2.
A. Your bookkeeper is right, because the extra income you will earn will be less than the cost of owning the building for the year.
If you buy the building, you will have to pay back $200,000 in a year.
However, you will only be able to sell the building for $180,000 and you will receive an income of $12,000 for a total of:
= 180,000 + 18,000
= $192,000
This is $8,000 less than the $200,000 you borrowed so you will pay back more than you borrowed.
Question 3
A. Holding onto your $200,000 in cash.
Holding your cash is the best option because investing in the building would lead to a loss of $8,000 after a year.
The bank would also reduce your balance by 1%. It is therefore best to hold the money.
Question 4
A. False
Companies with cash still have to make decisions based on gains and they will stand to gain more if they deposited their money because this would give them more interest profits.

Super Clinics offers one service that has the following annual cost and utilization estimates: Variable cost per visit $ 10 Annual direct fixed costs $50,000 Allocation of overhead costs $20,000 Expected utilization 1,000 visits What price per visit must be set if the clinic wants to make an annual profit of $10,000 on the service? A. $ 70 B. $ 80 C. $ 90 D. $100 E. $110
Answer:
C. $ 90
Explanation:
Number of visits = 1,000
Variable cost = $10 × 1,000 = $10,000
Fixed cost = $50,000
Overhead cost = $20,000
Required profit = $10,000
So,Total Cost = Variable Cost+ Fixed Cost+ Overhead Cost
= $10,000 + $50,000 + $20,000
= $80,000
Now, Price per Visit = (Total Cost+ Required Profit) ÷ Number of visits
= ($80,000 + $10,000) ÷ 1,000
= $90,000 ÷ 1,000
= $90

Explanation:
Economics can be classified into two (2) categories, namely;
1. Macroeconomics: it can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
2. Microeconomics: it can be defined as the study of the effect of price and quantity levels through interactions between individual buyers and sellers in various markets.
Hence, it is focuses on analyzing or evaluating the decisions of consumers (buyers) and those of firms (sellers) such as methods of production, pricing; and the manner in which government policies affect those decisions.
An in-kind transfers refers to the type of payment made in form of material properties rather than in cash.
A disadvantage associated with in-kind transfers to reduce poverty is that they do not allow poor families to make purchases based on their preferences. Since these families cannot purchase the choice goods with money.
Assume that IBM leased equipment that was carried at a cost of $120,000 to Swander Company. The term of the lease is 6 years beginning December 31, 2019, with equal rental payments of $30,044 beginning December 31, 2019. The fair value of the equipment at commencement of the lease is $150,001. The equipment has a useful life of 6 years with no salvage value. The lease has an implicit interest rate of 8%, no bargain purchase option, and no transfer of title. Collectibility of lease payments for IBM is probable. Assume the sales-type lease was recorded at a present value of $150,001.
