A company produces a single product. Variable production costs are $13.10 per unit and variable selling and administrative expen

ses are $4.10 per unit. Fixed manufacturing overhead totals $47,000 and fixed selling and administration expenses total $51,000. Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 5,100 units and sales of 4,150 units, the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing would be_____________________.

Answer:

Value of the ending inventory is $ 16,340

Explanation:

<em>The variable costing method is also known as the </em><em>marginal costing method,</em><em> under this method production units and inventories are valued using the variable cost per unit.</em>

Variable cost per unit = D. Material cost+ Direct labour cost + Variable Overhead

To value the closing inventory of the company, we follow the steps below:

Step 1

<em>Calculate the variable cost per unit</em>

= $13.10 + $4.10 = $17.2

Step 2

<em>Calculate the closing inventory</em>

Closing inventory = Opening Inventory + purchases - Sales

= 0 + 5,100 -4,150 = 950 units

Step 3

<em>Value the closing inventory</em>

= VC/unit × units

=   $17.2 × 950

= $ 16,340

Value of the ending inventory is $ 16,340

Assume a firm increases its revenue by $100 while increasing its cost of goods sold by $85. How much additional tax will the fir
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Additional tax the firm will owe: $3.15

Explanation:

Marginal tax rate is calculated by following formula:

Marginal tax rate = Change in taxes paid/Change in income

Change in taxes paid = Marginal tax rate x Change in income

The firm increases its revenue by $100 while increasing its cost of goods sold by $85.

Change in income = $100 - $85 = $15

Additional tax the firm will owe = $15 x 21% = $3.15

Suppose that there are many stocks in the security market and that the characteristics of stocks A and B are given as follows: S
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

0.135 or 13.5%

Explanation:

Given in the question are the following:

ERA = Expected return of Stock A = 12% = 0.12

ERB = Expected return of Stock B = 19% = 0.19

SDA = Standard deviation of Stock A = 3% = 0.03

SDB = Standard deviation of Stock B = 9% = 0.09

CAB = Correlation between A and B = -1

The correlation of -1 between Stock A and Stock B indicates that there a perfect negative correlation between the two stocks. Therefore, we can create a risk-free portfolio which its rate of return will be the risk-free rate in equilibrium.  

If we let wA denotes the proportion of investment in Stock A, and let wB denotes the proportion of investment in Stock B, the proportion of this portfolio can be obtained by setting its standard deviation equal to zero. Since there is a perfect negative correlation, the standard deviation of this portfolio (SDP) can be given as follows:

Absolute value [(wA × SDA) – (wB × SDB)] = SDP …………………………………….. (1)

Note that wB = (1 – wA) since the sum of the weight must be equal to 1.

Substituting all the relevant values into equation and set SDP = 0, we have  

[(0.03 × wA) − (0.11 × (1 - wA))] = 0

0.03wA – 0.11 + 0.11wA = 0

0.03wA + 0.11wA = 0.11

0.14wA = 0.11

wA = 0.11 ÷ 0.14 = 0.785714285714286

Since wB = 1 –wA, therefore:

wB = 1 - 0.785714285714286 = 0.214285714285714

The expected rate of return of the portfolio (ERP) can be estimated as follows:

ERP = (wA × ERA) + (wB × ERB)  ................................. (2)

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (2), we have:

ERP = (0.785714285714286 × 0.12) + (0.214285714285714 × 0.19)  

       = 0.0942857142857143 + 0.0407142857142857

ERP = 0.135 or 13.5%

Therefore, the value of the risk-free rate must be 13.5%.

madam [21]

Answer:

a. Accounts Receivable (Dr.) $93,000

Bonus Receivable (Dr.) $2,325

Service Revenue (Cr.) $95,325

b. Service Revenue (Dr.) $9,300

Bonus receivable (Cr.) $9,300

c. Accounts Receivable (Dr.) $93,775

Bonus Receivable (Dr.) $775

Service Revenue (Cr.) $93,000

d. Cash (Dr.) $29,000

Bonus Receivable (Cr.) $29,000

Explanation:

The contract between Burger Boy and Velocity is for eight months.

Expected value of the contract on 1st month is :

80% * [ $93,000 * 8 months + $31,000 ] + 20% [ $93,000 * 8 months - $31,000] = $762,600

The expected value per month is $762,600 / 8 months = $95,325 per month

Expected value of the contract 5th month with revised probability is :

60% * [ $93,000 * 8 months + $31,000 ] + 40% [ $93,000 * 8 months - $31,000] = $750,200

The expected value per month is $750,200 / 8 months = $93,775 per month.

Martin Company needs additional time to pay its accounts payable to Boster Company. Martin makes a written promise to pay Boster
Anika [276]
The answer, on the point of view of Boster, is A. Debit notes receivable and credit accounts receivable (not payable i think). This is from the point of view of Boster. So to Boster, he will have an accounts receivable by Martin company. So what Martin did is that he offered a promissory note to Boster. This will increase Boster's notes receivable. At the same time, this will also lessen Boster's accounts receivable since this turned into a notes receivable.
