Answer:

option (a) is correct, $ 2400

Explanation:

Given:

Direct materials cost = $ 700

Direct labour cost = $ 1300

Variable overhead = $ 400

Transfer price is relevant cost for Engine division

Now,

the relevant cost is variable cost

Also, variable cost is given as;

variable cost =   Direct material + Direct labor + Variable overhead

on substituting the values in the above formula, we get

variable cost =   $ 700 + $ 1,300 + $ 400

or

variable cost = $ 2400

Hence, option (a) is correct

You have $100,000 to invest in either Stock D, Stock F, or a risk-free asset. You must invest all of your money. Your goal is to
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

You will invest <u>$18,000</u> in Stock F.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the portfolio return formula as follows:

PR = (wD * rD) + (wF * rF) + (wR * rR) ............................ (1)

Where;

PR = Portfolio expected return = 10.7%, or 0.107

wD = Weight of the amount invested in Stock D = Amount invested in Stock D / Total amount invested = $50,000 / $100,000 = 0.50

rD = Expected Return from Stock D = 14.2%, or 0.142

wF = Weight of the amount invested in Stock F = Amount invested in Stock F / Total amount invested = ?

rF = Expected Return from StocK F = 10.1%, or 0.101

wR = Weight of the amount invested in risk free = 1 - wD - wF = 1 - 0.50 - wF = 0.50 - wF

rR = Expected Return from Risk free = 5.6%, or 0.056

Substitute all the values into equation (1), we have:

0.107 = (0.50 * 0.142) + (wF * 0.101) + ((0.50 - wF) * 0.056)

0.107 = 0.071 + (wF * 0.101) + ((0.50 * 0.056) - (wF * 0.056))

0.107 - 0.071 = (wF * 0.101) + 0.028 - (wF * 0.056)

0.036 - 0.028 = (wF * 0.101) - (wF * 0.056)

0.008 = wF(0.101 - 0.056)

0.008 = wF0.045

wF = 0.008 / 0.045

wF = 0.18

Since,

wF = Amount invested in Stock F / Total amount invested

We then substitute and solve for Amount invested in Stock F as follows:

0.18 = Amount invested in Stock F / $100,000

Amount invested in Stock F = 0.18 * $100,000 = $18,000

Therefore, you will invest <u>$18,000</u> in Stock F.

Crane Company can produce and sell only one of the following two products: Oven Contribution Hours Required Margin Per Unit Muff
Makovka662 [10]

The question is reproduced in the table below for clarity                        

                               Oven                                  Contribution

                         Hours Required                 Margin Per Unit

Muffins                        0.2                                           $4

Coffee Cakes        0.3                                        $5

Answer:

Total contribution margin = $ 60,000.00

Explanation:

<em>When a business is faced with a problem of shortage of a resource which can be used to produced more than one product type, to maximize the use of the resource , the business should allocate it for production purpose in  such a way that it maximizes the contribution per unit of the scare resource.</em>

Therefore Crane Company should alocate the oven hours to maximise the contribution per unit of oven hour. This is done as follows:

Step 1

<em>Calculate he contribution per oven hour and rank the product</em>

                                                                      cont/hr                   ranking

Muffin                        $4/0.2 hour =              20                     <em> 1st</em>

Coffee cakes                 $5/0.3 hour=        16.67                      2nd

<em>Because Muffin generates the highest contribution per hour of Oven, Crane should allocate all the resource to it</em>

Step 2

<em>Calculate the Total contribution from the production of Muffin</em>

Total contribution margin = 20 per her × 3000

                                        = $ 60,000.00

Timmy Company's comparative balance sheet at January 31, 2017, and 2016. reports the following (in millions):
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The Accounting Equation states that;

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Equity as at 2016 = Assets - Liabilities

= 50 - 13

= $37 million

Equity as at 2017 = Assets - Liabilities

= 77 - 18

= $59 million

1. Timmy issued $13 million of stock and declared no dividends.

<em>The Net Income ( loss) will be the figure that gives the Statement of Equity a figure of $59 million.</em>

Net Income = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  - Issuance of stock

= 59 - 37 - 13

= $9 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 13

Net income  ......................................................................9

Less: Dividends declared......................................................0

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59

2. Timmy issued no stock but declared dividends of $17 million.

Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  + Dividends Declared

= 59 - 37 + 17

= $39 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 0

Net income  ......................................................................39

Less: Dividends declared......................................................(17)

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59

3. Timmy issued $20 million of stock and declared dividends of $27 million.

Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  + Dividends Declared -  Issuance of stock

= 59 - 37 + 27 - 20

= $29 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 20

Net income  ......................................................................29

Less: Dividends declared......................................................(27)

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59
