You chose to work beyond the age of 67. Your benefit increases 8% for every year you wait past the age of 67 but there is no inc

rease in benefit beyond age 70. You are retiring at the end of this year, at the age of 72. If your normal monthly retirement benefit would have been $1,000 per month if you retired at 67, which math statement below could you use to roughly calculate your monthly benefit at age 72?
a) $1,000 + $1,000 x .08 x 3 = $1,240
b) $1,000 + $1,000 x .08 x 5 = $1,400
c) $1,000 + $1,000 x .08 x 3 x 12 = $2,880
d) $1,000 + $1,000 x .08 x 5 x 12 = $4,800

Answer: a) $1,000 + $1,000 x .08 x 3 = $1,240

Explanation:

Monthly retirement Benefit at age 67 = $1000

Incremental rate on benefit beyond age 67 = 8%

Incremental rate on benefit beyond age 70 = 0

Period = 70 - 67 = 3years

Estimated monthly benefit at age 72;

Monthly benefit at age 67 + (monthly benefit at age 67) × incremental rate × increment period × 12

$1000 + ($1000 × 0.08 × 3 )

$1000 + $240.00

=$1240

Similarly,

This means monthly rate = 8% / 12 = 0.0066667

Total period = 12 × 3 = 36 months

Total = Principal + (principal × rate × time)

1000 + (1000 × 0.0066667 × 36)

1000 + 240.0012

1,240.0012 = 1240

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Quentin's total debt to equity ratio on December 31, 2014, is <u>0.62</u>.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached file for the complete question.

The explnation to the answer is therefore given as follows:

The debt-to-equity ratio refers to a financial ratio that is used to measure the relative proportion of debt and Owners' equity that are employed to finance assets of a company.

The debt-to-equity ratio using the following formula:

Debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities / Owners' equity ............... (1)

Where;

Total liabilities = Total current liabilities + Non-current liabilities = $72,000 + $34,000 = $106,000

Owners' equity = $170,000

Substituting the value into equation (1), we have:

Debt-to-equity ratio = $106,000 / $170,000 = 0.62

Therefore, Quentin's total debt to equity ratio on December 31, 2014, is <u>0.62</u>.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A common size income statement is an income statement expressed in percentages. Each line item is expressed as a percentage of total revenue or total sales, not as a percentage of net income.

A common size income statement is used to analyze the relative weight of the company's accounts, e.g. gross margins, net margins, manufacturing expenses relative to total sales, etc.

Road Gripper Tire Co. manufactures automobile tires. Standard costs and actual costs for direct materials, direct labor, and fac
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

a.

In part a, we need to find the following 3 requirements:

1. Direct Materials Price Variance

2. Direct Materials Quantity Variance

3. Total Direct Materials Cost Variance

Direct Materials Price Variance:

It can be calculated by using the following formula:

DMPV = AQ multiplied by (AP minus the SP)

Where,  

DMPV = Direct Materials Price Variance

AQ = Actual Quantity

AP = Actual Price

SP = Standard Price

We do have all the data, so just plug in the values into the above equation to get the DMPV.

AQ = 101,000

AP  = 6.50 USD

SP = 6.40 USD

So,

DMPV = 101,000 ( 6.50 - 6.40)

DMPV = 10,100 USD

Direct Materials Quantity Variance:

DMQV = SP ( AQ - SQ )

Where,

DMQV = Direct Materials Quantity Variance = ?

SP  = Standard Price  = 6.40 USD

AQ = Actual Quantity  = 101,000

SQ = Standard Quantity  = 100,000

Plugging in the values:

DMQV  = 6.40  ( 101,000 - 100,000)

DMQV = 6400 USD

Total Direct Materials Cost Variance:

DMCV = SMC - AMC

Where,

DMCV =  Direct Materials Cost Variance = ?

SMC = Standard Market Cost = 6.40 USD x 100,000

AMC = Actual market Cost = 6.50 USD x 101,000

DMCV = (6.40 USD x 100,000) - (6.50 USD x 101,000)

DMCV = 640,000 - 656,500

DMCV =  16,500 USD

b.

For part b, we need following particulars:

1. Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV)

2. Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV)

3. Direct Labor Cost Variance  (DLCV)

Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV) :

DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH

Where,

ADLR  = Actual Direct Labor Rate = 15.40 USD

SDLR = Standard Direct Labor Rate = 15.75 USD

ADLH = Actual Direct Labor Hour = 2000

So,

DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH

DLRV =  (15.40 USD  - 15.75 USD  ) x 2000

DLRV = 700 USD

Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV):

DLTV = ( ADLH - SDLH ) x SDLR

SDLH = Standard Direct Labor Hour = 2080

DLTV = ( 2000  - 2080 ) x 15.75 USD  

DLTV = 1260 USD

Direct Labor Cost Variance  (DLCV)

DLCV = SDLC - ADLC

SDLC = Standard Direct Labor Cost  

ADLC = Actual Direct Labor Cost

DLCV =  (1540 x 2000) - (15.75 x 2080)

DLCV = 1960 USD

c.

For Part c, we need following:

1. variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV)

2. fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV)

3. Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV)

variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV):

VFOCV =  AFO - B

Where,

AFO = Actual Factory Overhead  = 8200

B = Budgeted Allowance Based on Standard Hours Allowed = 4160x0.5x4

B = 8320 USD

VFOCV =  8200 - 8320  

VFOCV =   120 USD

fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV) :

FFOVV = (S - BH ) x SOR

Where,

S = Standard Hours for actual output = 4160 x 0.5

BH = Budgeted Hours = 2080

SOR = Standard Overhead Rate = 6 USD

FFOVV = (4160 x 0.5  - 2080) x 6

FFOVV =  0 USD

Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV):

TFOCV = AFO - SO

Where,

AFO = Actual Factory Overhead = 20,200

SO = Standard Overhead = 2080 x 10

TFOCV =  20,200 - ( 2080 x 10  )

TFOCV =  600 USD

It takes Suzi 6 hours to sew a shirt and 4 hours to bake a cake. Anna can sew a shirt in 3 hours and bake a cake in 1 hour. If A
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Suzi

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is the relative edge that a person has over another in the production of a product. They use less resources to produce the product than others.

When two parties corporate in production the good to produce can be shared base on who has comparative advantage or the person that loses less in a production process.

In the give instance

Suzi can produce a shirt in 6 hours while Anna produces it in 3 hours. Anna is twice as fast as Suzi.

Suzi can bake a cake in 4 hours while Anna can do so in 1 hour. So Anna is 4 times faster than Suzi in baking cakes.

It will be best for Suzi to make shirts since she is only twice as slow as Anna.

Anna will be better off baking cakes as she is four times as fast here.
