University Printers has two service departments (Maintenance and Personnel) and two operating departments (Printing and Developi

ng). Management has decided to allocate maintenance costs on the basis of machine-hours in each department and personnel costs on the basis of labor-hours worked by the employees in each. The following data appear in the company records for the current period: Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing Machine-hours — 1,000 1,000 3,000 Labor-hours 500 — 500 2,000 Department direct costs $ 13,000 $ 38,250 $ 47,000 $ 31,500 University Printers estimates that the variable costs in the Personnel Department total $15,000 and in the Maintenance Department variable costs total $7,600. Avoidable fixed costs in the Personnel Department are $5,700. Required: If University Printers outsources the Personnel Department functions, what is the maximum it can pay an outside vendor without increasing total costs? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answer:

First calculate total machine hours

1500 + 1500 + 4500 = 7500 total machine hours

personnel   = 1500/7500 x 4,800

printing   = 1500/7500 x 4,800

developing = 4500/7500 x 4,800

for personnel:

500 printing + 3,500 developing = 4,000

For Departments:

printing        = 500/4,000   x  15,760

developing   = 3,500/4,000x 15,760

Suppose First Main Street Bank, Second Republic Bank, and Third Fidelity Bank all have zero excess reserves. The required reserv
lesantik [10]

Answer:

a) Assets: Reserves $200,000; Liabilities: Deposits $200,000

b) Amount Deposited: $2000,000; Change in Excess Reserves: $190,000; and Change in Required Reserves: $10,000

c) See the calculation below and the attached excel file for the table.

d) the $200,000 injection into the money supply results in an overall increase of <u>$4,000,000 </u>in demand deposits.

Explanation:

These can be answered as follows:

a) Complete the following table to reflect any changes in First Main Street Bank's T-account (before the bank makes any new loans).

Note: See the attached excel file for the table.

The $200,000 deposited by Lorenzo to First Main Street Bank led to the creation of both an asset and a liability for First Main Street Bank.

As a result, the reserve of the bank is increased by $200,000 on the asset side of the T-account. It is therefore now possible for the ban to grant loan to other customers from these additional reserves.

In addition, the demand deposit of the bank is increased by $200,000 on the liability side of the T-account. This is recorded as a demand deposit because it is possible for Lorenzo to come at any time to the band to withdraw his deposit either by using a debit card or by writing a check.

b) Complete the following table to show the effect of a new deposit on excess and required reserves when the required reserve ratio is 5%. Hint: If the change is negative, be sure to enter the value as negative number.

Note: See the attached excel file for the table. Just scroll the excel file down to part b.

The required reserve ratio of 5% indicates that First Main Street Bank has to hold 5% of the $200,000 the deposit or fresh fresh reserves, and this will result in having a 95% excess reserve which the bank can employ to grant loans.

From the amount deposited, the change in excess reserve and the change in the required reserve can be computed as follows:

Amount deposited = $200,000

Change in excess reserve = $200,000 * (1 - 5%) = $190,000

Change in required reserve = $200,000 * 5% = $10,000

c) Now, suppose First Main Street Bank loans out all of its new excess reserves to Juanita, who immediately uses the funds to write a check to Gilberto. Gilberto deposits the funds immediately into his checking account at Second Republic Bank. Then Second Republic Bank lends out all of its new excess reserves to Lorenzo, who writes a check to Neha, who deposits the money into her account at Third Fidelity Bank. Third Fidelity lends out all of its new excess reserves to Teresa as well.Fill in the following table to show the effect of this ongoing chain of events at each bank. Enter each answer to the nearest dollar.

Note: See the attached excel file for the table. Just scroll the excel file down to part c.

As already computed in part b above, we have the following to show the effect of this ongoing chain of events at each bank, we have:

<u>For First Main Street Bank:</u>

Increase deposit = Deposit from Lorenzo = $200,000

increase in required reserve = $200,000 * 5% = $10,000

Increase in loans = Loan to Juanita = $200,000 * (1 - 5%) = $190,000

<u>For Second Republic Bank:</u>

Increase deposit = Deposit from Gilberto = $190,000

Increase in required reserve = $190,000 * 5% = $9,500

Increase in Loans = Loans to Lorenzo = $190,000 * (1 - 5%) = $180,500

<u>For Third Fidelity Bank:</u>

Increase deposit = Deposit from Neha = $180,500

Increase in required reserve = $180,500 * 5% = $9,025

Increase in Loans = Loans to Teresa = $180,500 * (1 - 5%) = $171,475

d) Assume this process continues, with each successive loan deposited into a checking account and no banks keeping any excess reserves. Under these assumptions, the $200,000 injection into the money supply results in an overall increase of in demand deposits.

In order to calculate this, the formula for the money multiplier is used to multiply the initial deposit or injection of $200,000 by Lorenzo as follows:

Money multiplier = 1/r

Where r denotes required reserve ratio of 5%, or 0.05.

Therefore, we have:

Overall increase in demand deposits = Injection * (1 / r) = $200,000 * (1 / 0.05) = $200,000 * 20 = $4,000,000

Therefore, the $200,000 injection into the money supply results in an overall increase of <u>$4,000,000 </u>in demand deposits.

Abner Corporation makes a product that sells for $200 per unit. The Variable Costs per unit are $120. Fixed Costs total $500,000
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

6,250 units to break even.

Explanation:

Let's call x the number of units needed.

We know the sales price ($200/unit).

We know the cost of production ($120/unit)

And to break even, the Abner Corporation need to cover their fixed costs of $500,000.

That can be modeled like this:

200x - 120x  = 500000 (sales price - cost price to get 500K)

we simplify and solve:

80x = 500000 (making $80 profit for each unit)

x = 6,250 units

Abner Corp needs to sell at 6,250 units to break even.

Since it is selling 7,500 units, they are making a profid.
