Answer:
$1,544,620
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the levered value of the equity
First step is to calculate the VE
VL = {[$338,000 × (1 - .22)] / .142} + (.22 × $400,000)
VL=($338,000*0.78/.142)+$88,000
VL=($263,640/.142)+$88,000
VL=$1,856,620+$88,000
VL = $1,944,620
Now let calculate the levered value of the equity
VE = $1,944,620 - $400,000
VE = $1,544,620
Therefore the levered value of the equity is $1,544,620
Jacques lives in Miami and runs a business that sells guitars. In an average year, he receives $793,000 from selling guitars. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $430,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $15,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Jacques does not operate this guitar business, he can work as a financial advisor, receive an annual salary of $50,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $15,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this guitar business.
Identify each of Jake's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling guitars.
Implicit Cost Explicit Cost
The wages and utility bills that Jake pays
The salary Jake could earn if he worked as an accountant
The wholesale cost for the guitars that Jake pays the manufacturer
The rental income Jake could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
Complete the following table by determining Jake's accounting and economic profit of his guitar business.
Profit (Dollars)
Accounting Profit
Economic Profit
Answer:
Explicit Costs
The wages and utility bills that Jake pays
The wholesale cost for the guitars that Jake pays the manufacturer
Implicit costs
The salary Jake could earn if he worked as an accountant
The rental income Jake could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
Accounting profit = $62,000
economic profit = $-3000
Explanation:
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives. Jacques forgoes the opportunity to earn a salary and rent out his showroom when he started his business
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
$793,000 - ($430,000 + $301,000) = $62,000
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
$62,000 - (50,000 + 15,000) =$-3000

Technological feasibility was established on January 31st of year 2, and the program was available for release on March 31, year 2. Development costs were incurred as follows:August 1 through December 31, Year 1 $ 4,000,000January 1 through January 31, Year 2 600,000February 1 through March 31, Year 2 900,000SCS expects a useful life of five years for the software and total revenues of $10,000,000 during that time. During Year 2, SCS recognized $2,000,000 in revenue, included in the $10,000,000 total revenue estimate.Calculate the required amortization for Year 2 (Hint: calculate using both methods, choose the greater number)
Answer:
$180,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the required amortization for Year 2
(1)Using Percentage-of-revenue method
Percentage-of-revenue method=($2,000,000/$10,000,000)*$900,000
Percentage-of-revenue method= 20% *$900,000
Percentage-of-revenue method= $180,000
(2) Using Straight-line method
Straight-line method=$900,000 × 1/5 × 9/12
Straight-line method= $135,000
Therefore based on the above calculation the required amortization for Year 2 will be $180,000 using The percentage-of-revenue method reason been that the method help to produces higher amortization of the amount of $180,000.

Marshall Welding Company has two service departments (Cafeteria and Human Resources) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The number of employees in each department follows. Cafeteria 20 Human Resources 30 Machining 100 Assembly 150 Marshall Welding uses the step-down method of cost allocation and allocates cost on the basis of employees. Human Resources cost amounts to $1,200,000, and the department provides more service to the firm than Cafeteria. How much Human Resources cost would be allocated to Cafeteria
Answer: $88,889
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the cost of Human Resources that would be allocated to Cafeteria will be calculated thus:
Number of employees (Human Resources to departments)
= 20 + 100 + 150
= 270 employees
The Human Resources cost would be allocated to Cafeteria will be:
= $1,200,000 / 270 x 20
= $88,889

The sales tax you pay when you gas up your car is regressive.
True.
False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Regressive taxes place more burden on low-income earners. Since they are flat taxes, they take a higher percentage of income on the poor than on high-income earners. Taxes on most consumer goods, sales, gas, and Social Security payroll are examples of regressive taxes.
Blumen Textiles Corporation began April with a budget for 22,000 hours of production in the Weaving Department. The department has a full capacity of 29,000 hours under normal business conditions. The budgeted overhead at the planned volumes at the beginning of April was as follows: Variable overhead $50,600 Fixed overhead 34,800 Total $85,400 The actual factory overhead was $86,400 for April. The actual fixed factory overhead was as budgeted. During April, the Weaving Department had standard hours at actual production volume of 23,000 hours. Determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance and the fixed factory overhead volume variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. Round your interim computations to the nearest cent, if required.
Answer:
A. 1300 Favorable
B. $7,200 UnFavorable
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance
First step is to calculate the Budgeted rate of variable overhead
Budgeted rate of variable overhead = $50,600/22,000
Budgeted rate of variable overhead= $2.3per hour
Second step is to calculate the Standard variable overhead for actual production
Standard variable overhead for actual production = 23,000 x $2.3
Standard variable overhead for actual production = $52,900
Now let calculate the Variable factory overhead controllable variance using this formula
Variable factory overhead controllable variance = Standard variable overhead - Actual variable overhead
Let plug in the formula
Variable factory overhead controllable variance= $52,900 - ($86,400 - 34,800)
Variable factory overhead controllable variance= 1300 Favorable
Therefore Variable factory overhead controllable variance is 1300 Favorable
B. Calculation to determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance.
First step is to calculate the Predetermined fixed overhead rate using this formula
Predetermined fixed overhead rate = 34,800/29,000
Predetermined fixed overhead rate = $1.20 per hour
Second step is to calculate the Fixed overhead applied
Using this formula
Fixed overhead applied = Standard hours x Standard rate
Let plug in the formula
Fixed overhead applied= 23,000 x $1.20
Fixed overhead applied= $27,600
Now let calculate the Fixed overhead volume variance using this formula
Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead
Let plug in the formula
Fixed overhead volume variance= $27,600 - 34,800
Fixed overhead volume variance= $7,200 UnFavorable
Therefore The Fixed overhead volume variance is $7,200 UnFavorable

For each of the following characteristics, indicate whether it describes a perfectly competitive firm, a monopolistically competitive firm, both, or neither.
Characteristic Perfectly Monopolistically
Competitive Competitive
Charges a price that is the same as marginal cost.
Sells a product differentiated from those of its competitors.
Produces at the efficient scale of the firm.
Equates marginal revenue and marginal cost.
Operates with excess capacity.
Earns economic profit in the long run.
Answer:
a perfectly competitive firm
a monopolistically competitive firm
a perfectly competitive firm
Both the perfectly competitive firm and monopolistically competitive firm
a monopolistically competitive firm
Neither firms
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.
Firms are productive and allocative efficient and do not operate with excess capacity
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. As a result, price is always higher than marginal cost
Profit is maximised when marginal revenue equal marginal cost
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
. During 2007, Eaton Corp. started a construction job with a total contract price of $7,000,000. It was completed on December 15, 2008. Additional data are as follows: 2007 2008 Actual costs incurred in current year $2,700,000 $3,050,000 Estimated remaining costs 2,700,000 — Billed to customer 2,400,000 4,600,000 Received from customer 2,000,000 4,800,000 Under the completed-contract method, what amount should Eaton recognize as gross profit for 2008?
Answer:
$1,250,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount should Eaton recognize as gross profit for 2008
Using this formula
2008 Recognized gross profit=Total contract price- 2007 Actual costs incurred in current year -2008 Actual costs incurred in current year
Let plug in the formula
2008 Recognized gross profit=$7,000,000 - $2,700,000 - $3,050,000
2008 Recognized gross profit=$1,250,000
Therefore The amount that Eaton should recognize as gross profit for 2008 is $1,250,000
"When auto manufacturer BMW purchased the Rollsminus Royce brand name, BMW had to hire and train a new staff of assembly workers. The new workers were paid $27 per hour, worked a total of 7,200 hours, and produced 2,100 cars. BMW budgeted for a standard labor rate of $32 per hour and 3.50 direct labor hours per car. What is the direct labor rate variance for the Rollsminus Royce division?"

Explanation:
With regards to the above, direct labor rate variance is computed as;
Direct labor rate variance
= Actual cost - Standard cost of actual hours
= [(7,200hours × $27) - (7,200 hours × $32)]
= $194,400 - $230,400
= $36,000 favorable
Therefore , direct labor rate variance i s $36,000 favorable
Joan filed her individual income tax return 4½ months after it was due. She did not request an extension of time for filing. Along with her return, Joan remitted a check for $750, which was the balance of the taxes she owed with her return. Disregarding interest, calculate the total penalties that Joan will be required to pay, assuming the failure to file was not fraudulent
Answer:
$187.50
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the total penalties that she will be required to pay
Based on the information if she remitted a check for the amount of $750 the total penalties that she will be required to pay, if it was assumed that the failure to file was not fraudulent will be calculated as:
Total penalties=[$750*(5%*5)]
Total penalties=$750*0.25
Total penalties= $187.50
Therefore the total penalties that she will be required to pay is $187.50

Tim, a single taxpayer, operates a business as a single-member LLC. In 2020, his LLC reports business income of $382,000 and business deductions of $668,500, resulting in a loss of $286,500. What are the implications of this business loss
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
First, it should be noted that a threshold limit of $250,000 applies to the question according to IRS since Tim is a single taxpayer.
Therefore, the excess business loss will be:
= $286,500 - $250,000
= $36500
Therefore, Tim can use $250000 out of the loss of $286,500 to offset the non business income. Then, the excess business loss of $36500 will be treated as part of the NOL carryforward for Tim.
It is argued that LIFO should not be allowed to compute net income because a. it does not match costs to revenues, especially when there is inflation in the economy. b. it overstates balance sheet inventory. c. it understates cost of goods sold when prices are rising and therefore makes US companies' results look better than foreign companies' results which can only use FIFO. d. it causes profits to be understated when prices are rising and allows a company to dodge taxes.
Answer:
d. it causes profits to be understated when prices are rising and allows a company to dodge taxes.
Explanation:
The LIFO method should not be permitted to determine the net income as in this case the profits would be understated at the time when price is increased due to this it permits the company to dodge taxes as the inventory consumed in the production process also the high inventory value would be involved in the cost of sales that represent the high cost, this result in lower profits and taxes
Hence, the option d is correct

Answer:
A. Return on equity 7.5%
B. Dividend yield 3.03%
C. Earnings per share $0.22
D. Price-earnings ratio 45
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the Return on equity
First step is to calculate the Average stockholders equity using this formula
Average stockholders equity = ( Beginning stockholders equity + Ending stockholders equity)/2
Let plug in the formula
Average stockholders equity= (2,240+2000)/2
Average stockholders equity= $2,120 millions
Now let calculate the Return on equity using this formula
Return on equity=Net Income / Average stockholders equity
Let plug in the formula
Return on equity=159 / 2,120
Return on equity= 7.5%
B. Calculation to determine the Dividend yield
Using this formula
Dividend yield=Dividend per share / Stock price
Let plug in the formula
Dividend yield=0.30/ 9.90
Dividend yield= 3.03%
C. Calculation to determine the Earnings per share
Using this formula
Earnings per share=Net Income / Average shares outstanding
Let plug in the formula
Earnings per share=159/ 720
Earnings per share= $0.22
D. Calculation to determine Price-earnings ratio
Using this is formula
Price-earnings ratio=Stock price / Earnings per share
Let plug in the formula
Price-earnings ratio=9.90 / 0.22
Price-earnings ratio= 45
The company budgeted for production of 2,400 units in June, but actual production was 2,500 units. The company used 19,850 pounds of direct material and 980 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The company purchased 21,700 pounds of the direct material at $6.70 per pound. The actual direct labor rate was $19.20 per hour and the actual variable overhead rate was $1.80 per hour.
The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.
The variable overhead efficiency variance for June is: _________
a. $36 U
b. $36 F
c. $40 U
d. $40 F
Answer:
d. $40 F
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The variable overhead efficiency variance for June is
First step is to calculate the SH
SH = 2,500 units × 0.4 hour per unit
SH= 1,000 hours
Now let calculate the Variable overhead efficiency variance
Using this formula
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AH - SH) × SR
Let plug in the formula
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (980 hours - 1,000 hours) × $2 per hour= (-20 hours) × $2 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $40 F
Therefore Variable overhead efficiency variance is $40 F
If the toothpaste market is monopolistically competitive, product differentiation would not take the form of: production of many varieties of toothpaste, including those with whitening agents. quality differences among the various brands. setting the price of the product well below the price charged by the rivals. differentiation in the locations where certain toothpastes are available.

When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
If a monopolistically competitive sets price below competitors, losses would be made. So, there is no incentive to do this
Morgana Company identifies three activities in its manufacturing process: machine setups, machining, and inspections. Estimated annual overhead cost for each activity is $205,900, $265,100, and $78,400, respectively. The cost driver for each activity and the estimated annual usage are number of setups 2,900, machine hours 24,100, and number of inspections 1,600. Compute the overhead rate for each activity.
Answer:
Overhead cost per set-up =$71
Overhead cost per machine hour =$11
Overhead cost per inspection=$49
Explanation:
Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers. Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.
Activity rate is calculated as:
Activity cost for the period / Total cost drivers for the period
So, we can apply this formula as follows:
Overhead cost per set-up = $205,900/2,900 set-ups=$71
Overhead cost per machine hour = $265,100/24,100 hours=$11
Overhead cost per inspection = $78,400/1,600 inspection=$49
