Answer:

b.The company made large investments in fixed assets.

Explanation:

When company cuts dividend , cash in balance sheet will not reduce . It wii be in the form of reserve.

When company makes investment in fixed asset , its cash will decrease.

The company issued new common stock , its cash will increase .

The company issued new long-term deb , its cash increases .

Baker Corp. is required by a debt agreement to maintain a current ratio of at least​ 2.5, and​ Baker's current ratio now is 3. B
Orlov [11]

Answer:

$1.67 Million

Explanation:

Current asset = 15 Million    

Current liabiltiy = 15 Million/3

                          = 5 Million    

Let the inventory X can be purchased with short term debt without violation

per current ratio requirement    

(15 + x)/5+x = 2.5    

       15 + x  = 12.5 + 2.5x    

            2.5 = 1.5x    

               x = $1.67 Million

Therefore, $1.67 Million inventory can Baker purchase without violating its debt agreement if their total current assets equal​ $15 million

ABC Company's production budget for October is based on 500 units. Standard unit cost for raw materials is $130 per unit ($10 pe
melisa1 [442]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

a. Raw material price variance is

= (standard price - actual price) × actual quantity

= ($10 - $11) × ($69,300 ÷ $11)

= ($10 - $11) × 6,300

= $6,300 unfavorable

b. The raw material usage variance is

= (Standard quantity - actual quantity) × standard price

= (525 × 13 - 6,300) × $10

= $5,250 favorable

In this way it should be calculated

13. Assume that Cane’s customers would buy a maximum of 80,000 units of Alpha and 60,000 units of Beta. Also assume that the raw
timurjin [86]

Answer:

80000 unit of Alpha

Explanation:

This is a Limiting factor/resource constraint question. In certain situations entities suffer from shortage of necessary resources (e.g: shortage of material, labor hours, machine hours), in such circumstances entities strive to allocate the constraint resources to the production of those products which generate the highest contribution per limiting factor and help maximize total contribution. In this case the limiting factor for Cane is Raw material.

Lets suppose that each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta sell for $120 and $80</em> respectively and variable cost per unit of <em>Alpha and Beta is $69 and $20 </em>respectively. Each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta require 2 and 5 pounds</em> of raw material for production respectively.

Now that we have supposed the data we have to compute contribution per unit and then contribution per limiting factor and based on the ranking (i.e highest first) of contribution per limiting factor we decide which product should be given priority for resource allocation.

<em>Lets calculate contribution per unit.</em>

Alpha:

Contribution per unit= SP-VC

Where, SP stands for selling price and VC stands for variable cost.

CPU= 120-69

CPU=$51

Beta:

Contribution per unit= 80-40

CPU=$40

<em />

<em />

<em>Now, lets calculate contribution per limiting factor.</em>

Alpha:

CLF: $51÷2

CLF: $25.5        1st Rank

Beta:

CLF: $40÷5

CLF: $8              2nd Rank

So clearly Alpha has a greater contribution per limiting factor and it implies that Alpha will earn the highest contribution margin therefore Cane should produce and allocate resources to Alpha first and then Beta if there remains any?

Profit maximizing output:

It requires 2 pounds of raw material to produce one unit of Alpha (i.e 80000×2=160000) Therefore Cane should produce 80000 units of Alpha only in order to maximize its profits.
