Answer:
D. Kurt’s division is less risky than the other divisions.
Explanation:
Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the most likely reason is that Kurt’s division is less risky than the other divisions. Just as the saying goes "the greater the risk, the greater the reward", the same goes for the opposite, the lower the risk that a division has to undertake the lower the percent for the required return.
Answer:
Each should be used as follows:
Weight of peppermints = X = 25 lb
Weight of Chocolates = Y = 15 lb
Explanation:
Suppose
Weight of peppermints = X
Weight of Chocolates = Y
So According to given condition
X + Y = 40 (Eq. 1)
1.2X + 2.4Y = 1.65*40
1.2X + 2.4Y = 66 (Eq. 2)
By multiplying (Eq. 1) with 1.2 we get
1.2X + 1.2Y = 48 (Eq. 3)
Now by subtracting (Eq. 2) from (Eq. 3)
(1.2X + 1.2Y) - (1.2X + 2.4Y) = 48 - 66
1.2X + 1.2Y - 1.2X - 2.4Y = -18
1.2X - 1.2X + 1.2Y - 2.4Y = -18 (Rearrange)
-1.2Y = -18
1.2Y = 18
Y = 18/1.2
Y = 15
By placing value of Y in (Eq. 1)
X + 15 = 40
X = 40 - 15
X = 25
<u>Check</u>
1.2X + 2.4Y = 66
1.2 (25) + 2.4 (15) = 66
66 = 66
Answer:
I will choose Project B
Payback period of Project A is 4.2 years
Explanation:
IRR shows the percentage rate at which the net present value of the cash flows are zero. The more IRR rate of the project the more beneficial it is.
IRR
Project A = 31%
Project B = 38%
In this Question the IRR of Project B is higher so, it will be more beneficial and I will select it based on IRR ignoring all other factors.
Payback period of Project A is 4.2 years means 4 years, 2 months and 12 days.
Answer:
Income under absorption costing = $1,100,000
Explanation:
Marginal and absorption costing are two different methods to deal with fixed production overheads and and decide whether or not they are included in valuation of inventory.
<u>Valuation of inventory</u>
Opening and closing inventory are valued at variable cost under variable costing. Whereas in absorption costing, opening and closing inventory are valued at full production cost (including fixed production overheads).
<u>Reconciling profits reported under two different methods</u>
When inventory levels increase or decrease during a period then profits will differ under absorption and marginal costing because of fixed production cost.
Net Income under absorption costing = Income under variable costing + fixed production cost in ending inventory – fixed production cost in beginning inventory
= $1,050,000 + $300,000 - $250,000
= $1,100,000
