What is The Pursuit of Happyness about?

A struggling salesman who is about to embark on a career that will change his life obtains custody of his son. The true story of entrepreneur Chris Gardner's rise from poverty to success is told in the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness." An inspirational drama starring Will Smith is based on the real-life journey of a single father who moved from being homeless to being a prosperous businessman.

The story of Pursuit of Happyness begins in 1981 in San Francisco, when Chris Gardner, a salesman, invests his entire life savings in portable bone-density scanners. Although he is successful in selling most of them, the gap between his income and growing financial needs enrages his already bitter and estranged wife, Linda, who works as a lodge maid. Despite their worries about Christopher Jr., their soon-to-be five-year-old son, the financial volatility is destroying their marriage.

Explanation:

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.

Answers

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

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.

Answers

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.

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

Answers

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

The above formula is used

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.

Answers

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

Answers

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.

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

Answers

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.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the activities rates:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Machine Setup= 600,000 / 15,000= $40 per setup hour

Material handling= 90,000 / 3,000= $30 per ton of material

Machine operation= 420,000 / 12,000= $35 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate costs to each product:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Camshafts:

Machine Setup= 40*5= $200

Material handling= 30*10= $300

Machine operation= 35*4= $140

Total allocated costs= $640

Swing Drives:

Machine Setup= 40*8= $320

Material handling= 30*7= $210

Machine operation= 35*5= $175

Total allocated costs= $705

Finally, the unitary cost:

Camshafts:

Total cost= 40,000 + 7,000 + 640= $47,640

Unitary cost= 47,640 / 1,500= $31.76

Swing Drives:

Total cost= 30,000 + 12,000 + 705= $42,705

Unitary cost= 42,705 / 900= $47.45

Answer:

A. Currency selection 4% loss relative to EAFE

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

Stock Selection=-2.6%

-2.6% loss relative to EAFE

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.)

Answers

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.

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

Answers

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

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.

Answers

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.
