Answer:
B) $2,600
Explanation:
Retained earnings in each is computed as net income minus dividends
In year 2016 retained earnings=$1200-$200=$1000
In year 2017 retained earnings=2016 retained earnings+net income-dividends
2017 retained earnings=$1000-$500+$0=$500
2018 retained earnings=2017 retained earnings+net income-dividends
2018 retained earnings=$500+$2,300-$200
2018 retained earnings=$2,600
The market for clothes has the structure of monopolistic competition. What impact will fewer firms in the industry have on you as a customer? Address the following issues.
A- Variety of clothes
B- Differences in quality of service
C- Price
Answer:
Explanation:
A monopolistic market basically means that a single company is running/controlling the entire market. Therefore, having fewer firms in the industry would make a difference. For starters, the variety of clothing would be very minimal as the remaining stores would most likely be owned by a single large entity and therefore sell the same style of clothing. Quality of service will also be constant throughout the stores due to being all from the same production. The price is where things will be drastically affected since there is a single entity that controls the entire market this means that they can ultimately charge what they want and fewer firms mean that prices will most likely increase.
Parsons Company is planning to produce 2,900 units of product in 2020. Each unit requires 2.00 pounds of materials at $7.00 per pound and a half-hour of labor at $16.00 per hour. The overhead rate is 60% of direct labor.
(a) Compute the budgeted amounts for 2020 for direct materials to be used, direct labor, and applied overhead.
Direct materials
Direct labor
Overhead
(b) Compute the standard cost of one unit of product. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.)
Standard cost $
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total cost of producing 2,900 units:
Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
Total cost= (2*7)*2,900 + (0.5*16)*2,900 + [(0.5*16)*0.6]*2,900
Total cost= 40,600 + 23,200 + 13,920
Total cost= $77,720
Now, the unitary standard cost:
Unitary cost= total cost/number of units
Unitary cost= 77,720 / 2,900
Unitary cost= $26.8
Nina Corp. uses no debt. The weighted average cost of capital is 6 percent. The current market value of the equity is $16 million and the corporate tax rate is 35 percent.
What is EBIT? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, i.e. 1,234,567. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
EBIT $
Answer:
$1,476,923.08
Explanation:
The company is an all-equity firm, hence, the value of the firm can be determined using the formula below:
value of firm=EBIT*(1-tax rate)/average cost of capital
Value of firm=$16,000,000
EBIT is the unknown
tax rate=35%
average cost of capital=6%
16,000,000=EBIT*(1-35%)/6%
16,000,000=EBIT*0.65/6%
16,000,000*6%=EBIT*0.65
EBIT=16,000,000*6%/0.65
EBIT=$1,476,923.08
Six months ago, you purchased 3,000 shares of ABC stock for $47.06 a share. You have received dividend payments equal to $.80 a share. Today, you sold all of your shares for $49.74 a share. What is your total dollar return on this investment?a. $2,400.b. $10,050.c. $8,040.d. $10,440.e. $20,880.
Answer:
Total dollar return = 2400 + 8040 = $10440
Option d is the correct answer
Explanation:
To calculate the total dollar return on the investment, we will calculate the value of dividend received from the shares and the capital gain made on this investment. The capital gain is the appreciation in value less the initial cost paid for the investment.
First we calculate the value of dividend received on the investment.
Dividend received = 3000 * 0.8 = $2400
Now we calculate the value of capital gain.
Capital gain = (Sale price - Initial cost) * Number of shares
Capital gain = (49.74 - 47.06) * 3000
Capital gain = $8040
Total dollar return = 2400 + 8040 = $10440
You are planning for retirement 33 years from now. You plan to invest $3,500 per year for the first 6 years, $8,800 per year for the next 11 years, and $14,400 per year for the following 16 years (assume all cash flows occur at the end of each year). If you believe you will earn an effective annual rate of return of 13.7%, what will your retirement investment be worth 33 years from now?
Answer:
Total FV= $3,433,859.29
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the future value of each equal annual deposit. Then, the ending value in 33 years of investment as a whole.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV1= {3,500*[(1.137^6) - 1]} / 0.137= $29,648.89
FV2= {8,800*[(1.137^11) - 1]} /0.137= $199,476.80
FV3= {14,400*[(1.137^16) - 1]} /0.137= $714,882.03
Now, the total future value:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV1= 29,648.89*(1.137^27)= 949,600.61
FV2= 199,476.80*(1.137^17)= 1,769,376.65
FV3= 714,882.03
Total FV= $3,433,859.29
In the case of oligopolistic markets, self-interest makes cooperation difficult and it often leads to an undesirable outcome for the firms that are involved.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
An Oligopolistic market is one where the suppliers are very few in number. Cooperation is indeed difficult in such markets as they are motivated by self-interest to try to make more profits than their competitors.
This usually leads to an undesirable outcome. For instance, if two oligopolistic firms agree on a price to sell goods, one of them might decide to sell at a lower price in order to gain more market share. This will cause the other firm to reduce its prices as well which means that both companies would be worse off than when they started.
On January 1, a machine with a useful life of four years and a salvage value of $16000 was purchased for $80000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation?a. $80000.b. $20000. c. $40000. d. $44000.
Answer: Year 2 depreciation= $16,000
Correct answer is not among the options
Explanation:
Using the straight line depreciation method we have that
Annual Depreciation = Purchase cost - Salvage value/ useful life
=$80000-$16000 / 4
$64,000/ 4
= $16,000
If Annual depreciation= $16,000 , then Deprecation expense for year 2 = $16,000

Pepsi is attempting to:_________.A) sell less Pepsi so they can raise the price of Pepsi.B) differentiate Pepsi from other types of soft drinks.C) convince consumers that Pepsi is identical to other soft drinks.D) lower the marginal cost of producing for Pepsi.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: Differentiate Pepsi from other types of soft drinks.
Explanation:
To begin with, the fact that the company is using the advertising as its major weapon when it comes to atract consumers and increase the number of sales then they are trying so desperetely to differentiate its brand from the other ones of the competitors and they do it by showing in their advertisements that they are superior to any other. And that strategy, the one of using the marketing campaing as a primary source of getting to the consumers, is in order to achieve a more high look from the point view of the consumers so they put their brand in a higher level regarding the competitors' brands.
Sudoku Company issues 26,000 shares of $8 par value common stock in exchange for land and a building. The land is valued at $235,000 and the building at $380,000. Prepare the journal entry to record issuance of the stock in exchange for the land and building.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry to record the issuance of the stock in exchange of the land and the building is as follows:
Land $235,000
Building $380,000
To Common stock, $8 par value (26,000 shares × $8) $208,000
To Paid-in capital in excess of par value, common stock $407,000
(To record the issuance of the stock in exchange of the land and the building)
Here the land and building is debited as it increased the assets and the common stock and its paid in capital is credited as it also increased the stockholder equity

Monthly data Job X43 Job X87 Job Z22 Job A33
May
Direct materials $86,000 $72,000 $44,000 $38,000
Direct labor cost $101,000 $91,000 $78,000 $52,000
Direct labor hours 5,050 4,550 3,900 2600
June
Direct materials $24,000 $41,000 $35,000 $24,000
Direct labor cost $28,000 $52,000 $62,000 $32,800

All jobs were started in May. Jobs X87 and A33 were completed and delivered to customers during June. What is the balance of the Work in Process Inventory account on June 30?
Answer:
$479,520
Explanation:
Calculation for the balance of the Work in Process Inventory account on June 30
First step is to calculate the Predetermine overhead rate
Predetermine overhead rate = 800,000/500,000
Predetermine overhead rate = 1.6 per labour hour
Second Step will be to calculate the Total cost for Job X43 and Job Z22
Job X43 Job Z22
Direct material 110,000 79,000
(Job X43 86,000+24,000=110,000)
(Job Z22 44,000+35,000=79,000)
Add Direct labour 129,000 140,000
(Job X43 101,000+28,000=129,000)
(Job Z22 78,000+62,000=140,000)
Add Manufacturing overhead applied
10,320 11,200
[Job X43 (5,050+1,400) *1.60= 10,320]
[Job Z22 (3,900+3,100)*1.6= 11,200]
Total cost 249,320 230,200
Last step is to calculate Work in process balance
Work in process balance = (249,320+230,200) Work in process balance=$ 479,520
Therefore the balance of the Work in Process Inventory account on June 30 will be $ 479,520

High Country Corporation acquired two inventory items at a lump-sum cost of $80,000. The acquisition included 6,000 units of product A, and 14,000 units of product B. Product A normally sells for $12 per unit, and product B for $4 per unit. If High Country sells 2,000 units of A, what amount of gross profit should it recognize?A. $750.
B. $2,250.
C. $16,500.
D. $4,750.
Answer:
$9,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of gross profit that should be recognize
First step is to calculate the
A's sale value = 6,000 unit*12 per unit
A's sale value = $72,000
Second Step is to calculate B's sale value
B's sale value = 14,000 units*4 per unit
B's sale value= $56,000
Third step is to calculate the Total sale value
Total sale value = $72,000 + $56,000
Total sale value= $128,000
Fourth Step is to calculate the Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units and 2,000 units
Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units = ($72,000/$128,000) * $80,000
Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units = 0.5625*$80,000
Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units= $45,000
Cost of goods sold of A for 2,000 units = $45,000*2,000/6,000
Cost of goods sold of A for 2,000 units = $15,000
Last step is to calculate the Gross profit of A for 2,000 units
Gross profit of A for 2,000 units = (2,000*12 per units) - 15,000
Gross profit of A for 2,000 units = $24,000 - $15,000
Gross profit of A for 2,000 units = $9,000
Therefore the amount of gross profit that should be recognize will be $9,000

Derby Inc. manufactures a product which contains a small part. The company has always purchased this motor from a supplier for $125 each. Derby recently upgraded its own manufacturing capabilities and now has enough excess capacity (including trained workers) to begin manufacturing the motor instead of buying it. The company prepared the following per unit cost projections of making the motor, assuming that overhead is allocated to the part at the normal predetermined overhead rate of 150% of direct labor cost.
Direct material $38Direct labor 50Overhead fixed and variable 75
Total 163
The required volume of output to produce the motors will not require any incremental fixed overhead. Incremental variable overhead cost is $21 per motor. What is the effect on income if Derby decides to make the motors?
a. Income will decrease by $16 per unit.
b. Income will increase by $16 per unit.
c. Income will increase by $23 per unit
d. Income will decrease by $23 per unit.
e. Income will increase by $39 per unit.
Answer:
Derby Inc.
If Derby decides to make the motors,
b. Income will increase by $16 per unit.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Bought-in cost = $125
Predetermined overhead rate = 150% of direct labor cost
Direct material $38
Direct labor 50
Overhead fixed and variable 75
Total cost per unit $163
Incremental variable overhead cost = $21
Total variable cost = $109 ($38 + 50 + 21)
Differential Income per unit = $16 ($125 - $109)
b) Making the motors in-house will increase income by $16 than buying it outside. This differential income is obtained by comparing the cost of buying the motors from suppliers and the cost of making the motors internally.
What does a credit score measure?
A business should endeavor to be socially responsible in its actions and conduct under what set of circumstances?
a. increased competitive advantage.
b. lowering the legal fees to handle reputation-damaging incidents
c. pursuing internal benefits such as improved efficiency and workforce retention
d. pursuing shareholder benefits based on high correlations between CSR and stock price and other measures of financial performance.
Answer: All of the above
Explanation:
A company should endeavour to be socially responsible if it will result in any of the listed circumstances as they are all benefits.
If this would increase the company's competitive advantage it should be embarked on as it would lead to the company having a better position in the market. It can also reduce the cost to the company of reputation damaging incidents.
A company having improved efficiency and workforce retention is a good company and if socially responsible actions will bring that, the company should do it. And with the purpose of a company being to maximise shareholder value, a company should definitely engage in socially responsible actions if there is a high correlation between CSR and stock price.
Concord Corporation developed the following information about its inventories in applying the lower-of-cost-or-net-realizable-value(LCNRV) basis in valuing inventories:_______. Product Cost Market A $91000 $96000 B 64000 61000 C 128000 130000 After Concord Corporation applies the LCNRV rule, the value of the inventory reported on the balance sheet would be:________.
Answer:
the value of the inventory reported is $280,000
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory reported on the balance sheet is shown below:
As we know that the inventory should be recorded at lower cost of cost or market value. So here the same is applied
= Lower amount of market A + Lower amount of market B + Lower amount of market C
= $91,000 + $61,000 + $128,000
= $280,000
hence, the value of the inventory reported is $280,000
