The annual demand for a product is 15,300 units. The weekly demand is 294 units with a standard deviation of 90 units. The cost

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Reorder point = (weekly demand * lead time) + (Z * standard deviation * √lead time) = (294 * 10) + (2.326 * 90 * √10) = 2,940 + 661.99 = 3,602 units

Old safety stock = Z * standard deviation * √lead time = 662 units

new safety stock = 331

331 = Z * 90 * √10

Z = 331 / 284.60 = 1.163

Using Normal distribution function, the new confidence interval is 87.76%

Assume that Kish Inc. hired you as a consultant to help estimate its cost of common equity. You have obtained the following data

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Cost of equity= 10,50%

Explanation:

The cost of equity is the return a company requires to decide if an iThe cost of equity is the return a company requires to decide if an investment meets capital return requirements. A firm's cost of equity represents the compensation the market demands in exchange for owning the asset and bearing the risk of ownership.

Cost of equity= (D1/P0)+g

D1= next year dividend (D0*

P0=actual price

g= growth rate of dividends

In this exercise:

D1=D0*(1+g)=0,90*1,07=$0,963

P0=$27,50

g=0,07

Cost of equity= 0,963/27,5+0,07=0,1051=10,50%

At the beginning of June, Bezco Toy Company budgeted 5,000 toy action figures to be manufactured in June at standard direct mate

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard quantity:

Direct materials (pounds)= 50,000/4= 12,500 pounds

Direct materials (pounds)= 12,500/5,000= 2.5 pounds per unit

Direct labor (hours)= 36,000/18= 2,000 hours

Direct labor (hours)= 2,000/5,000= 0.4 hours

Actual quantity:

Actual direct materials= (49,600/4)= 9,920 pounds

Actual direct labor= 34,020/18= 1,890 hours

Production= 4,850

To calculate the direct labor quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Standard quantity= 2.5*4,850= 12,125

Direct material quantity variance= (12,125 - 9,920)*4

Direct material quantity variance= $8,820 favorable

To calculate the direct labor time variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Standard quantity= 0.4*4,850= 1,940

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1,940 - 1,890)*18

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $900 favorable

Estrada Corporation produced 300,000 watches that it sold for $35 each. The company determined that fixed manufacturing cost per

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Variable cost per unit = $12

The total variable cost = $3,600,000

The total contribution margin = $6,900,000

Explanation:

Number of units produced = 300,000

Selling cost = $35

Revenue = 300,000 × $35

= $10,500,000

Fixed cost = $14 per unit

Total fixed cost = 300,000 × $14

= $4,200,000

Gross margin = $2,700,000

Gross margin is the difference between the Revenue earned and the total cost.

Total cost = $10,500,000 - $2,700,000

= $7,800,000

Total cost = Total Fixed cost + Total variable cost

Total variable cost = $7,800,000 - $4,200,000

= $3,600,000

Variable cost per unit is the ratio of the total variable cost to the number of units produced.

Variable cost per unit = $3,600,000/300000

= $12

Total contribution margin is the difference between the total revenue and the total variable cost.

Total contribution margin = Total revenue - Total variable cost

= $10,500,000 - $3,600,000

= $6,900,000
