Assume the following data for Cable Corporation and Multi-Media Inc.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

a-1 Cable Corporation 13.05

Multi-media Inc. 33.1%

a-2 Multi-Media Inc.

2. Cable Corporation Multi-Media Inc.

Net income/Sales 9.84% 5.19%

Net income/Total assets 7.76% 14.51%

Sales/Total assets .79 times 2.80 times

Debt/Total assets 40.55% 56.17%

Explanation:

a-1. Computation to determine the return on stockholders’ equity for both firms.

CABLE CORPORATION

Using this formula

Return on Stockholders’ Equity= Net Income / Stockholder’s equity

Let plug in the formula

Return on Stockholders’ Equity=$31,200 / 239,000

Return on Stockholders’ Equity= 0.1305*100

Return on Stockholders’ Equity=13.05%

MULTI-MEDIA INC.

Return on Stockholders’ Equity=$140,000 / 423,000

Return on Stockholders’ Equity= 33.1%

a-2. Based on the above calculation the firm that has the higher return is MULTI-MEDIA INC.

b. Computation for the following additional ratios for both firms.

Cable Corporation Multi-Media Inc.

Net income/Sales 9.84% 5.19%

($31,200/317,000=9.84%)

($140,000/2,700,000=5.19%)

Net income/Total assets 7.76% 14.51%

($31,200/402,000=7.76%)

($140,000/965,000=14.51%)

Sales/Total assets .79 times 2.80 times

(317,000/402,000=.79 times

(2,700,000/965,000=2.80 times)

Debt/Total assets 40.55% 56.17%

(163,000/402,000=40.55%)

( 542,000/965,000=56.17%)

If price is greater than average variable cost and less than average total cost at the profit-maximizing quantity of output in t

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

produce at an economic loss.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

In a perfectly competitive market in long-run equilibrium, a long-run equilibrium avails firms the opportunity to adjust all inputs and all fixed costs are maximized. Also, it's characterized by free entry and exit, as such there isn't a fixed number of firms. This simply means that, since the number of firms in a long-run equilibrium can change, a firm must exit the market as a result of losses i.e when the firm is unable to cover its fixed costs in the long-run while new firms are allowed entry into the market when it anticipates potential profits or gains.

However, the firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC. Also, the firms wouldn't be willing to leave or enter into the market because they are not making any profit, such that P=AC.

In a nutshell, in the long run equilibrium P=MR=MC and P=AC.

Hence, if price is greater than average variable cost and less than average total cost at the profit-maximizing quantity of output in the short run, a perfectly competitive firm will produce at an economic loss.

Additionally, Average Total Cost (ATC) can be defined as the overall cost of production divided by total output of production. It is calculated by dividing total cost by total output of production or by adding TVC and TFC.

predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently complete

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Total overhead rate = $34.17 per machine hour

Explanation:

The total overhead rate would the sum of the variable overhead rate and the fixed overhead rate

The pre-determined fixed overhead absorption rate = Estimated fixed overhead /Estimated machine hours

DATA:

Estimated overhead - $256,500.

Estimated machine hours - 10,000 machine hours

The pre-determined fixed overhead absorption rate =

$256,500/ 10,000 machine hours = 25.65 per hour

The pre-determined overhead absorption rate = $25.65 per hour

Total overhead rate = Variable rate + Fixed rate

= $8.52 + $25.65 = $34.17

Total overhead rate = $34.17 per machine hour

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Bavarian Chocolate Company

Blending Department

1. Cost of Production Report:

Cost of production: Materials Conversion Total

Beginning WIP $37,950 $8,418 $46,368

Direct materials, 26,000 units 429,000 149,040 578,040

Total cost or production $466,950 $157,458 $624,408

(See the workings of this report below.)

2. Change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit

Increase or Decrease

Materials Conversion

September $16.50 $6.005

October $16.51 $5.99

Amount $0.01 $0.015

Increase Decrease

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

partial work in process account of the Blending Department at October 31, 2014:

Date Item Debit Credit Balance

Oct.1 Bal., 2,300 units, 3/5 completed 46,368

31 Direct materials, 26,000 units 429,000 475,368

31 Direct labor 100,560 575,928

31 Factory overhead 48,480 624,408

31 Goods transferred, 25,700 units 578,378 46,030

31 Bal., 2,600 units, 1/5 completed 46,030

Ending units in process:

Beginning units in process 2,300

Direct materials 26,000

Units available for production 28,300

Units transferred out 25,700

Ending units in process 2,600

Equivalent units of production: Materials Conversion

Units started and completed = 25,700 25,700 25,700

Ending WIP 2,600 2,600 520 (1/5 * 2,600)

Equivalent units produced 28,300 26,220

Cost per unit of direct materials = $429,000/26,000 = $16.50

Cost of production: Materials Conversion Total

Beginning WIP $37,950 $8,418 $46,368

Direct materials, 26,000 units 429,000 149,040 578,040

Total cost or production $466,950 $157,458 $624,408

Cost per equivalent unit: Materials Conversion

Total cost or production $466,950 $157,458

Equivalent units produced 28,300 26,220

Cost per equivalent unit $16.50 $6.005

Assignment of cost to units completed and ending WIP:

Materials Conversion Total

Units transferred out (25,700) $424,050 $154,328 $578,378

Ending WIP (2,600/520) 42,900 3,130 46,030

Total $466,950 $157,458 $624,408

2. Assuming that the October 1 work in process inventory includes direct materials of $38,295, determine the increase or decrease in the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion between September and October.

Cost of production: Materials Conversion Total

Beginning WIP $38,295 $8,073 $46,368

Direct materials, 26,000 units 429,000 149,040 578,040

Total cost or production $467,295 $157,113 $624,408

Cost per equivalent unit: Materials Conversion

Total cost or production $467,295 $157,113

Equivalent units produced 28,300 26,220

Cost per equivalent unit $16.51 $5.99

Assignment of cost to units completed and ending WIP:

Materials Conversion Total

Units transferred out (25,700) $424,307 $153,943 $578,250

Ending WIP (2,600/520) 42,926 3,115 46,041

Total $467,233 $157,058 $624,291
