Ethan Manufacturing Inc. produces floor mats for automobiles. The owner, Joseph Ethan, has asked you to assist in estimating mai

ntenance costs. Together, you and Joseph determine that the single best cost driver for maintenance costs is machine hours. These data are from the previous fiscal year for maintenance costs and machine hours: Month Maintenance Costs Machine Hours 1 $ 2,750 1,840 2 2,910 1,920 3 3,060 2,000 4 3,170 2,020 5 3,250 2,050 6 3,220 2,030 7 3,160 2,010 8 3,000 1,990 9 2,770 1,850 10 2,370 1,250 11 2,380 1,450 12 2,600 1,740 Required: 1. What is the cost equation for maintenance costs using the high-low method? 2. Calculate the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) for the cost equation you developed in requirement 1.

1                $2,750                1,840           $269            9.78%

2               $2,910                 1,920           $197             6.77%

3               $3,060                2,000          $135              4.41%

4               $3,170                 2,020            $47              1.48%

5               $<u>3,250</u>                <u>2,050</u>                0                 0%

6               $3,220                2,030             $8             0.25%

7               $3,160                 2,010            $46              1.46%

8               $3,000                1,990           $184             6.13%

9               $2,770                1,850           $260            9.39%

10             <u>$2,370</u>                <u>1,250</u>                  0                 0%

11              $2,380                1,450             $210           8.82%

12             $2,600                1,740            $309           <u>11.88%</u>

                                                                                    60.37%

variable cost per unit = (highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (highest activity units - lowest activity units) = ($3,250 - $2,370) / (2,050 - 1,250) = $880 / 800 units = $1.10 per unit

fixed cost = $3,250 – ($1.10 x 2,050) = $995

Cost model = $995 + $1.10X

2. Calculate the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) for the cost equation you developed in requirement 1.

MAPE = 60.37% / 12 = 5.03%

General Importers announced that it will pay a dividend of $4.25 per share one year from today. After that, the company expects
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$12.93

Explanation:

First , find the dividend amount per year;

D1 = 4.25

D2,D3,D4,D5, D6 = 0

D3 = 2.2020(1.024) = 2.2548

D7 onwards = 2.35

Next, find the present value of the dividends at 12.6%;

PV (of D1) = 4.25/ 1.126 = 3.7744

PV (of D2 to D6) = 0

PV (of D7 onwards) today = (2.35/0.126) /(1.126^6)

PV (of D7 onwards) today = 18.6508 / 2.0381 = 9.1511

Add the PVs to find price of stock;

= 3.7744 + 0 + 9.1511

= $12.93

Wood for handle $1.50

Packaging $0.50

Total direct materials $6.00

Direct labor $0.50

Factory overhead $3.20

($800÷250 knives perhour)

Total manufacturing cost per knife $9.70

2. The  Finished Goods balance for year end  December 31, 2016 will be:

(1,200,000 units – 1,120,000 units) × $9.70 =

=80,000×$9.70

=$776,000

Work in Process, for the year ended December 31, 2016 will be:

25,000 units × ($6.00 + $3.20)

25,000 units × $9.2

= $230,000.

Note that materials, stamping as well  as factory overhead have been applied to the 25,000 units, but  direct assembly labor has not been applied for these units.
