Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of operating profit is shown below:-
Profit per unit = Purchase price from outside per unit + variable cost of production internally
= $15 - $7
= $8
Total increment in operating profit = Profit per unit × Total number of units
= $8 × 24,000
= $192,000
b. Minimum transfer price = Variable cost = $7 (because polk has overcapacity and there is no change in fixed cost and polk minimum has to recover its variable production cost)
c. Maximum transfer price = purchase cost from outside supplier = $15 (because if the internal transfer piece is more than $15 Bishop will lose so he prefers to buy from outside and the company as a whole will lose $192,000 in incremental operating profit
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $6,300 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials 2 grams $7.00 per gram
The company produced 4,600 units in January using 10,100 grams of direct material.
<u>To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (2*4,600 - 10,100)*7
Direct material quantity variance= $6,300 unfavorable
Answer:
ROI = net profit / total investment
1. What is the current return on investment (ROI) being realized by your division
- ROI = $625,000 / $4,150,000 = 15.06%
2. What would happen to the near-term ROI of your division after adding the effect of the new investment?
- ROI = ($625,000 + $50,000) / ($4,150,000 + $550,000) = 14.36%
If you carry out the new project the ROI of your division will decrease.
3. As manager of this division, given your incentive compensation plan, would you be motivated to make the new investment?
- Even though the new project's return (9.1%) is considered acceptable by upper management, you will probably reject it since it will decrease your division's total ROI. When managers are assigned bonuses based on certain achievements, reducing your profitability ratio will probably result in no bonus.
Answer:
Present value of the security = $1,888.89
Explanation:
The annual dividend of $170 represents a perpetual income stream. The present value of a perpetuity is calculated as follows:
where r =interest rate per annum that would be compounded for each year
Therefore, present value of the security =
= $1,888.89
Answer:
The correct answer is $302.40.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation can be done as:
To calculate firms' earning first we less cost of goods and total operating expenses from sales revenue:
= $3,060 - $1,800 - 600
= $660
Now we deduct the interest expense, then
= $660 - $126
= $534
Now we deduct tax rate, then
= $534 × $213.60 ( $534× 40%)
= $320.40
Now we finally deduct the dividends to get the firm's earning to common shareholder's, then
= $320.40 - 18
= $302.40
Hence, the firm's earning to common shareholder's is $302.40.
