Answer:
29.41%
Explanation:
Particulars Amount
Sales Revenue $425,000
Less: Cost of goods sold $300,000
Gross profit $125,000
Gross Profit rate(%) also known as gross profit margin percentage is calculated by (Revenue - Cost of goods sold)/Revenue
Gross profit margin percentage = $425,000 - $300,000 / $425,000
Gross profit margin percentage = $125,000 / $425,000
Gross profit margin percentage = 0.29412
Gross profit margin percentage = 29.41%
Tulip Company produces two products, T and U. The indirect labor costs include the following two items:
Plant supervision $700,000
Setup labor (indirect) 300,000
Total indirect labor $1,000,000
The following activity-base usage and unit production information is available for the two products:
Number of setups Direct Labor Hours Units
Product T 200 20,000 900
Product U 200 30,000 1,100
Total 400 50,000 2,000
(a) Determine the single plantwide factory overhead rate, using direct labor hour as the activity base.
(b) Determine the factory overhead cost per unit for Products T and U, using the single plantwide factory overhead rate.
(c) Determine the activity rate for plant supervision and setup labor, assuming that the activity base for supervision is direct labor hours and the activity base for setup is number of setups.
(d) Determine the factory overhead cost per unit for Products T and U, using activity-based costing.
(e) Why is the factory overhead cost per unit different for the two products under the two methods?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Total factory overhead = $1,000,000
Total direct labor hours = 50,000
Rate per hour = $1,000,000/50,000
= $20
Number of labor hours, product T = 20,000
Factory overhead = 20,000 × $20 = $400,000
Number of labor hours, product U = 30,000
Factory overhead = 30,000 × $20 = $600,000
b. Product T, factory overhead = $400000
Units = 900
Per unit factory overhead = $400,000/900
= 444.44
Product T, factory overhead = $600000
Units = 1100
Per unit factory overhead = $600,000/1100
= 545.46
c. Supervision = $700,000
Direct labor hours = 50000
Supervision rate per hour = $700000/50000
= $14
Set up labor = $300,000
Number of setup = 400
Supervision rate per hour = $300000/400
= $750
d. For product T:
Plant Supervision = 20,000 × 14 = 280,000
Set-up labor = 200 × 750 = 150,000
Total cost = 430,000
Number of unit = 900
Factory overhead per unit = 430,000/900 = 477.8
For product U:
Plant Supervision = 30,000 × 14 = 420,000
Set-up labor = 200 × 750 = 150,000
Total cost = 570,000
Number of unit = 1100
Factory overhead per unit = 570,000/1100 = 518.2
e. For the first part, the factory overhead is being divided using direct labor hours.
For the second part, the factory overhead is being aportioned using activity based costing.

Terms of a lease agreement and related facts were:
a. Incremental costs of commissions for brokering the lease and consummating the completed lease transaction incurred by the lessor were $6,652.
b. The retail cash selling price of the leased asset was $550,000.
c. Its useful life was three years with no residual value.
d. The lease term is three years and the lessor paid $550,000 to acquire the asset.
e. Annual lease payments at the beginning of each year were $200,000.
f. Lessor’s implicit rate when calculating annual rental payments was 9%.
(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. Prepare the appropriate entries for the lessor to record the lease and related payments at its beginning, January 1, 2018.
2. Calculate the effective rate of interest revenue after adjusting the net investment by initial direct costs.
3. Record any entry(s) necessary at December 31, 2018, the fiscal year-end.
Answer:
1) January 1, 2018, asset leased
Dr Lease receivable 550,000
Cr Equipment 550,000
January 1, incremental costs associated with lease transaction
Dr Lease receivable 6,652
Cr Cash 6,652
January 1, 2018, first lease payment collected
Dr Cash 200,000
Cr Lease receivable 200,000
2) to calculate the effective rate we can use the present value of an annuity due formula
PV annuity due factor, 3 periods, ?% = present value of lease receivable / annual payment = $556,652 / $200,000 = 2.78326
Now we must use an annuity due table to determine a possible rate. In this case, the exact rate is 8%.
3) December 31, 2018, interest receivable on lease contract
Dr Interest receivable 28,532
Cr Interest revenue 28,532
interest receivable = ($556,652 / $200,000) x 8% = $28,532

If there are external or spillover benefits associated with consumption and production of a product, it can be said that the:
Answer:
supply curve for the product lies too far to the right to provide an efficient allocation of resources
Explanation:
Please find attached an image of the full question
A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
Goods that generate spill over benefits are usually underproduced and the supply curve lies too far to the right to provide an efficient allocation of resources
Beasley Industries' sales are expected to increase from $5 million in 2019 to $6 million in 2020, or by 20%. Its assets totaled $3 million at the end of 2019. Beasley is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities are $740,000, consisting of $160,000 of accounts payable, $450,000 of notes payable, and $130,000 of accrued liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and its dividend payout ratio is 50%. Using the AFN equation, forecast the additional funds Beasley will need for the coming year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
$
The AFN equation assumes that ratios remain constant. However, firms are not always operating at full capacity so adjustments need to be made to the existing asset forecast. Excess capacity adjustments are changes made to the existing asset forecast because the firm is not operating at full capacity. For example, a firm may not be at full capacity with respect to its fixed assets. First, the firm's management must find out the firm's full capacity sales as follows:
Next, management would calculate the firm's target fixed assets ratio as follows:
Finally, management would use the target fixed assets ratio with the projected sales to calculate the firm's required level of fixed assets as follows:
Required level of fixed assets = (Target fixed assets/Sales) × Projected sales

B. What is Mitchell's Target fixed assets/Sales ratio? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
%
C. If Mitchell's sales increase by 60%, how large of an increase in fixed assets will the company need to meet its Target fixed assets/Sales ratio? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
$
Answer:
Using the AFN equation, forecast the additional funds Beasley will need for the coming year.
EFN = (A/S) x (Δ Sales) - (L/S) x (Δ Sales) - (PM x FS x (1-d))
A/S = $3 / $5 = 0.6
ΔSales = $1,000,000
L/S = $290 / $5,000 = 0.058 (notes payable are not included)
PM = 4%
FS = $6,000,000
1 - d = 0.5
EFN = (0.6 x $1,000,000) - (0.058 x $1,000,000) - (0.04 x $6,000,000 x 0.5) = $600,000 - $58,000 - $120,000 = $422,000
A. What level of sales could Mitchell have obtained if it had been operating at full capacity?
$1,600,000,000 / 0.7 = $2,285,714,286
B. What is Mitchell's Target fixed assets/Sales ratio?
$310,000,000 / $2,285,714,286 = 0.14
C. If Mitchell's sales increase by 60%, how large of an increase in fixed assets will the company need to meet its Target fixed assets/Sales ratio?
required level of fixed assets = 0.14 x ($1,600,000,000 x 1.6) = $358,400,000
increase in fixed assets = $358,400,000 - $310,000,000 = $48,400,000
Eaton Tires manufactures tires for dune buggies and has two different products, nubby tires and smooth tires. The company produces 5,000 nubby tires and 10,000 smooth tires each year and incurs $172,000 of overhead costs. The following information is available:
Activity Total Cost Cost Driver
Materials handling $60,000 Number of requisitions
Machine setups 55,000 Number of setups
Quality inspections 57,000 Number of inspections
For the nubby tires, the company has 400 requisitions, 200 setups, and 200 inspections. The smooth tires require 600 requisitions, 300 setups, and 400 inspections.
Determine the overhead rate for each activity.
Answer:
Materials handling= $60 per requisition
Machine setups= $110 per setup
Quality inspections= $95 per inspection
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 60,000/1,000= $60 per requisition
Machine setups= 55,000/500= $110 per setup
Quality inspections= 57,000/600= $95 per inspection
1. Define a red ocean vs. a blue ocean strategy.
2. For one of the products in your business simulation (action cameras for UAV drones), discuss whether you are in a red ocean or a blue ocean.
3. Identify and discuss the blue ocean four actions framework.
4. For one of the products in your business simulation (action cameras for UAV drones), discuss the components of a current value cure and a new value curve.
Answer:
1. Define a red ocean vs. a blue ocean strategy.
A red ocean strategy occurs in a marketplace that is saturated with more or less similar products.
A blue ocean strategy occurs in a marketplace that does not have market saturation. Where there are no close substitute products.
2. For one of the products in your business simulation (action cameras for UAV drones), discuss whether you are in a red ocean or a blue ocean.
Action cameras are part of a red ocean strategy because the market for action cameras is saturated, with many competitors providing a similar product.
UAV drones are part of a blue ocean strategy because the product offers an unique service, and there are very few companies that provide this good.
3. Identify and discuss the blue ocean four actions framework.
The four actions are: raising quality standards to a new level, creating new quality standards, reducing some factors below quality standards, and eliminate some factors that are commonly used in the industry.
4. For one of the products in your business simulation (action cameras for UAV drones), discuss the components of a current value cure and a new value curve.
UAV Drones are part of the blue ocean strategy, and as a result, they have a new value curve. However, the market could become part of a red ocean strategy if enough competitors enter the market.
This is why UAV Drones producers should cotinually revise the four actions frameworks in order to develop the drones and keep the competitive advantage, and the blue ocean enviroment.
On average, your firm sells $33,100 of items on credit each day. The average inventory period is 35 days and your operating cycle is 55 days. What is the average accounts receivable balance
Answer:
The average account receivable balance is $662,000
Explanation:
The computation of the average account receivable balance is shown below:
= Sells items on credit each day × (operating cycle - average inventory period)
= $33,100 × (55 days - 35 days )
= $33,100 × 20 days
= $662,000
hence, the average account receivable balance is $662,000. The same is to be considered
For each of the following transactions for New Idea Corporation, give the accounting equation effects of the adjustments required at the end of the month on July 31: (Enter any decreases to Assets, Liabilities, or Stockholders' Equity with a minus sign)
a. Received a $550 utility bill for electricity usage in July to be paid in August.
b. Owed wages to 10 employees who worked three days at $75 each per day at the end of July. The company will pay employees at the end of the first week of August.
c. On July 1, loaned money to an employee who agreed to repay the loan in one year along with $900 for one full year of interest. No interest has been recorded yet.
Answer and Explanation:
The accounting equation effects of the adjustments required at the end of the month on July 31 is shown below:-
Transactions Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder's equity
a Utilities payable $550 Utilities expenses -$550
b Wages payable $2,250 Wages expense -$2,250
(3 × $75 × 10)
c Interest receivable $450 Interest revenue $450
($900 ÷ 2)
Explanation:-
a. The adjustment of the utilities would be recognized in the equation of accounting by rising the liability that is utilities payable and falling the equity that is utility expense.
b. The adjustment of the wages would be recognized in the equation of accounting by rising the liability that is wages payable and falling the equity that is wages expense.
c. The adjustment of the interest would be recognized in the equation of accounting by rising the assets that is interest receivable and falling the equity that is interest revenue.

what is Framing in a conversation?
Answer:
How someone frames an issue affects how it is seen by others and focuses their attention on specific aspects of it. Framing is the basis of approaching a particular audience to connect. Although framing seems very simple conceptually, the reality is that most people don't do it well.
Explanation:
Consider the following information for stocks A, B, and C. The returns on the three stocks are positively correlated, but they are not perfectly correlated. (That is, each of the correlation coefficients is between 0 and 1.)
Stock Expected Return Standard Deviation Beta
A 8.50% 16% 0.8
B 9.50 16 1.2
C 10.50 16 1.6
Fund P has one-third of its funds invested in each of the three stocks. The risk-free rate is 6.5%, and the market is in equilibrium. (That is, required returns equal expected returns.)
Required:
a. What is the market risk premium?
b. What is the beta of Fund P?
c. What is the required return of Fund P?
d. Would you expect the standard deviation of Fund P to be less than 15%, equal to 15% or greater than 15%? Explain.
Answer:
a. $2.5
b. 1.20
c. 9.5%
Explanation:
We can calculate the market risk premium and the required return according to the CAPM model by using the simple expected return formula given below. Average beta can be calculated by dividing the sum of all beta with the number of betas
(a) Computation of the market risk premium
According to the CAPM model
Expected Return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta (Risk premium )
8.50 = 6.5 + 0.8(Risk premium )
Risk Premium = (8.50 - 6.5) / 0.8
Risk Premium = $2.5
(b) Computation of the beta of Fund P.We have,
Average of beta = ( 0.8 + 1.2 + 1.6) / 3
Average of beta = 1.20
(c) Computation of the required return of Fund P
Required Return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta x Risk premium

You are considering purchasing stock in Canyon Echo. You feel the company will increase its dividend at 4.3 percent indefinitely. The company just paid a dividend of $3.26 and you feel that the required return on the stock is 10.5 percent. What is the price per share of the company's stock
Answer: $54.84
Explanation:
Here, the price per share will be calculated as per the constant growth formula : Price = (Dividend x (1+growth rate)) ÷ (return rate - growth rate)
Dividend $3.26 , growth rate = 4.3%=0.043 , return rate = 0.105
[tex]\text{Price}=\dfrac{3.26\times(1+0.043)}{0.105-0.043}\\\\=\dfrac{3.26\times(1.043)}{0.062}\\\\=\dfrac{3.40018}{0.062}\approx\ \$54.84[/tex]
Hence, the price per share of the company's stock = $54.84

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.
On April 1st, Bob the Builder entered into a contract of one-month duration to build a barn for Nolan. Bob is guaranteed to receive a base fee of $5,000 for his services in addition to a bonus depending on when the project is completed. Nolan created incentives for Bob to finish the barn as soon as he can without jeopardizing the structural integrity of the barn. Nolan offered to pay an additional 30% of the base fee if the project finished 2 weeks early and 10% if the project finished a week early. The probability of finishing 2 weeks early is 30% and the probability of finishing a week early is 60%.What is the expected transaction price with variable consideration estimated as the expected value?a. $4,750b. $5,000c. $5,750d. $5,50
Answer: c. $5,750
Explanation:
Expected value will be the weighted average of the payoffs of the different scenarios.
= Base fee + Addition if finished 1 week early + Addition if finished 2 weeks early + No addition
= 5,000 + ( 5,000 * 10% * 60%) + ( 5,000 * 30% * 30%) + (5,000 * 0% * 10%)
= $5,750
External Influences on Consumer Behavior SaGa is a European fashion store chain that specializes in accessible, trendy clothes and accessories for men and women. Its target audience includes fashion-conscious young men and women, ages 16-30. After success in Europe, SaGa is getting ready to launch its flagship stores in five U.S. markets-New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Miami. Based on its product offerings, SaGa is targeting millennials (those born between 1982 and 2000, also called gen Y). As a group, millennials are open to making impulse purchases, and are socially connected as demonstrated by their use of Twitter to tweet about products and brands. Also, based on its "accessible" price for its fashion offerings, Saga is targeting middle-to upper-middle-class millennials. SaGa's advertising agency of record was excited about the impending launch campaign in the U.S. and its first-ever foray into the American market, which is heavily influenced by celebrity and pop culture. The agency was developing a campaign that focused on "usage occasion"—the ad would show a group of friends, in their 20s, getting together for a Friday night out in the city. A social occasion such as a night out with friends, combined with the setting of a city street lined with trendy clubs and restaurants, highlighted a perfect usage occasion for wearing fashionable clothes from SaGa. In the ad, the friends walk through a busy city street that has a party atmosphere, and pass several other people whose fashion sense is not as trendy as theirs. As they pass these people, the contrast between their group and the other people is highlighted by the use of muted, fading colors (for the other people) versus bright and pleasing colors (for the group of friends wearing SaGa). The agency was thus contrasting those who do not wear SaGa, a dissociative group, with those who do. Meanwhile, Raza, a high-end fashion store chain in Europe, is planning to enter the Japanese market. RaZa's promotional strategy decisions include highlighting the purchase situation in their ads by showing the exclusive boutique store atmosphere, and by using international supermodels that denoted an aspirational group for their target audience. RaZa targeted older and more affluent consumers compared to SaGa; their target market consisted of upper-class gen X'ers in Japan (those born between 1946 and 1976). RaZa's research revealed that the Japanese culture understood and respected high-end fashion. The consumer does not make purchase decisions in isolation. A number of external factors have been identified that may influence consumer decision-making, such as culture, subcultures, social class, reference groups, and situational determinants. Match the various external (or environmental) influences on consumer behavior to the relevant situations in SaGa's promotional decisions. Then match these external influences to examples found in RaZa's decisions.

Suppose someone offered to sell you a note calling for payment of $1,225 15 months from today (456 days). They offer to sell it to you for $950. You have $950 in a bank time deposit which pays a 12% nominal rate with a daily (365 days a year) compounding, and you plan to leave the money in the bank unless you buy the note? Recommend action based on checking the decision in three ways:
(1) by comparing your future value if you buy the note versus leaving your money in the bank,
(2) by comparing the PV of the note with your current bank account, and
(3) by comparing the EAR on the note versus that of the bank account.
Answer:
(1) by comparing your future value if you buy the note versus leaving your money in the bank,
the future value of the note = $1,225
the future value of the time deposit = $950 x (1 + 0.12/365)⁴⁵⁶ = $1,103.62
the note has the highest future value
(2) by comparing the PV of the note with your current bank account, and
PV of note = $1,225 / (1 + 0.12/365)⁴⁵⁶ = $1,054.48 (I used the same interest rate than the time deposit)
present value of your time deposit = $950
the note has the highest present value
(3) by comparing the EAR on the note versus that of the bank account.
EAR of the note using the future value formula:
1,225 = 950 x (1 + r)¹°²⁵
(1 + r)¹°²⁵ = 1,225 / 950 = 1.2895
¹°²⁵√(1 + r)¹°²⁵ = ¹°²⁵√1.2895
1 + r = 1.2255
r = 0.2255 = 22.55%
EAR time deposit = (1 + 0.12/365)³⁶⁵ - 1 = 12.75%
the note's effective annual rate is higher

Headland Mining Company purchased land on February 1, 2020, at a cost of $1,169,500. It estimated that a total of 52,800 tons of mineral was available for mining. After it has removed all the natural resources, the company will be required to restore the property to its previous state because of strict environmental protection laws. It estimates the fair value of this restoration obligation at $96,300. It believes it will be able to sell the property afterwards for $107,000. It incurred developmental costs of $214,000 before it was able to do any mining. In 2020, resources removed totaled 26,400 tons. The company sold 19,360 tons. Compute the following information for 2020.
A) Per unit mineral cost.
B) Total material cost of December 31, 2020, inventory.
C) Total material cost in cost of goods sold at December 31, 2020.
Answer:
1. $26 per unit
2. $183,040
3. $503,360
Explanation:
1. Computation of per unit mineral cost
Per unit mineral cost=(1,169,500+96,300+214,000-107,000)/52,800
Per unit mineral cost=1,372,800/52,800
Per unit mineral cost=$26 per unit
Therefore the Per unit mineral cost will be $26 per unit
2. Computation of Total materials cost
Total materials cost= (26,400 tons-19,360 tons)*26
Total materials cost=7,040*26
Total materials cost=$183,040
Therefore the Total materials cost will be $183,040
3. Calculation for the Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold
Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold= (19,360*26)
Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold =$503,360
Therefore the Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold will be $503,360
Katie, a single taxpayer, is a shareholder in Engineers One, a civil engineering company. This year, Katie’s share of net business income from Engineers One is $200,000 (net of the associated for AGI self-employment tax deduction). Assume that Katie’s allocation of wages paid by Engineers One to its employees is $300,000 and her allocation of Engineers One’s qualified property is $150,000 (unadjusted basis of equipment, all purchased within past three years). Assume Katie has no other business income and no capital gains or qualified dividends. Her taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $400,000.
Required:
A. Calculate Katie’s deduction for qualified business income.
B. Assume the same facts provided above, except Katie’s net business income from Engineers One is $400,000 (net of the associated for AGI self-employment tax deduction), and her taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $350,000.
Answer:
A) Katie's maximum deduction is $200,000 x 20% = $40,000
But we must check that her deduction meets 3 requirements:
cannot exceed 50% of her earned wages = $300,000 x 50% = $150,000 ✓ requirement metcannot exceed 25% of her earned wages + 2.5% of qualified property = ($300,000 x 25%) + ($150,000 x 2.5%) = $78,750 ✓ requirement metcannot exceed 20% of taxable income = $400,000 x 20% = $80,000 ✓ requirement metB) Katie's maximum deduction is $400,000 x 20% = $80,000, but since her net business income is higher than her taxable income, she must calculate 20% x $350,000 (taxable income) = $70,000 (same as requirement 3 in previous answer)
ABC Inc. made a $25,000 sale on account with the following terms: 2/10, n/30. If the company uses the net method to record sales made on credit, what is/are the debit(s) in the journal entry to record the sale
Answer: Debit Accounts Receivable for $24,500.
Explanation:
Based on the information that have been provided in the question, we should first know that under the net method, sales discount is not used.
Therefore, to record the sales that are made on credit will be:
Debit: Accounts receivables by:
= $25000 – (2% × $25,000)
= $25,000 - (0.02 × $25000)
= $25000 - $500
= $24,5000
Credit: Sales Revenue.
Therefore, the answer is Debit Accounts receivables for $ 24500
is a specialty popcorn store. It offers two varieties of popcorn: plain and flavored. The flavors range from Caramel Popcorn to Dark Chocolate Drizzled Popcorn to White Cheddar Popcorn. The plain popcorn sells for per box and costs per box to make. The flavored popcorn sells for per box and costs per box to make. has fixed costs per month of . sells 1 box of plain popcorn for every 4 boxes of flavored popcorn. How many boxes of plain popcorn and how many boxes of flavored popcorn must sell each month to break even?
Answer:
The numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question (see image):
first we must calculate the contribution margin:
plain popcorn = selling price - variable costs = $2 - $0.80 = $1.20
flavored popcorn = selling price - variable costs = $4 - $2.50 = $1.50
sales mix = 1 plain : 4 flavored
weighted contribution margin = [$1.20 + (4 x $1.50)] / 5 = $1.44
total fixed costs = $3,240
break even point in units = $3,240 / $1.44 = 2,250 units
the company must sell 2,250 x 1/5 = 450 plain popcorn boxes and 1,850 flavored popcorn boxes in order to break even
