Elfalan Corporation produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 51,000 units per month is as follows:
Direct materials $48.10
Direct labor $9.20
Variable manufacturing overhead $2.20
Fixed manufacturing overhead $19.50
Variable selling & administrative expense $4.00
Fixed selling & administrative expense $19.00
The normal selling price of the product is $108.10 per unit.
An order has been received from an overseas customer for 3,100 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $2.30 less per unit on this order than on normal sales.
Direct labor is a variable cost in this company.
Suppose there is not enough idle capacity to produce all of the units for the overseas customer and accepting the special order would require cutting back on production of 1,250 units for regular customers.
The minimum acceptable price per unit for the special order is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Cherry Valley Lumber's (CVL) lumber mill produces boards of various sizes and quality specifications for the home construction industry. CVL incurs joint costs in the initial phases of processing raw timber, such as transporting the logs to the mill, removing the bark from the logs, and cutting rough-cut boards. After the split-off point, CVL incurs costs in the Planing Department to finalize the finished boards of various grades and sizes. Which of the following statements regarding the costs at CVL is true?
a. The costs to finish the boards after the split-off point will not be traced directly to the finished boards according to the various grades and sizes produced. The costs for transporting the logs, removing bark, and cutting the rough-cut boards before the split-off point will be traced to the final finished boards.
b. The costs for transporting the logs, removing bark, and cutting the rough-cut boards before the split-off point will not be directly traced to the final finished boards. All costs to finish the boards after the split-off point will be traced directly to the finished boards according to the various grades and sizes produced.
c. It will be impossible for CVL to directly trace any costs to the finished boards of various grades and sizes.
d. CVL will be able to directly trace all costs before and after the split-off point to the finished boards of various grades and sizes.
Answer:
Cherry Valley Lumber's (CVL)
The statement regarding the costs at CVL that is true is:
b. The costs for transporting the logs, removing bark, and cutting the rough-cut boards before the split-off point will not be directly traced to the final finished boards. All costs to finish the boards after the split-off point will be traced directly to the finished boards according to the various grades and sizes produced.
Explanation:
This is why the costs at split-off are usually apportioned to the different categories of products based on some chosen criteria, e.g. sales value, size, etc. However, after split-off, costs that are incurred can easily be traced to the various grades and sizes of boards produced. This simply means that after split-off, costs become traceable and direct to each board category.

SUV Company is considering producing a line of luxury SUVs. Currently, SUV Company sells 4,200 standard SUVs annually for $45,400 each. They expect that they would sell 5,600 luxury SUVs for $80,500. If SUV Company produces the line of luxury SUVs, then they expect to only sell 3,300 standard SUVs. What is the incremental revenue generated from the potential project
Answer:
SUV Company
The incremental revenue generated from the potential project is:
= $409,940,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price of Standard SUVs = $45,400
Number of Standard SUVs sold annually = 4,200
Luxury SUVs' price per unit = $80,500
Number of Luxury SUVs expected to be sold = 5,600
Reduced number of Standard SUVs sold as a result = 3,300
Lost sales of Standard SUVs = 900 (4,200 - 3,300)
The incremental revenue generated from the potential project is:
Sale revenue from Luxury SUVs = $450,800,000 ($80,500 * 5,600)
Lost revenue from lost sale of
Standard SUVs = 40,860,000 ($45,400 * 900)
Incremental revenue generated = $409,940,000
b) The incremental revenue is the additional revenue generated from the introduction of the Luxury SUVs, excluding the lost revenue from the non-sale of Standard SUVs as a result of the introduction.
How does a flourishing business affect trade?
Answer: Flourishing services trade could boost world growth ... it easier to export such services as business- process outsourcing, medical diagnostics or education.
Explanation: Trade involves the transfer of goods or services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market.

Karen owns a designer clothing store in a small town. Since her store is the only store that offers designer outfits, she charges high prices for them. In the same town, another store deals in similar apparels but offers them at cheaper rates. Karen wants to maintain the exclusivity of her store. She is planning to slash prices. This move may incur losses. However, she is determined to give a tough competition to her competing store and ensure that it goes out of business.

Find the final amount in the following retirement account, in which the rate of return on the account and the regular contribution change over time. $322 per month invested at 4%, compounded monthly, for 5 years; then 440$ per month invested at 5%, compounded monthly, for 5 years.
Answer:
Total value of the investment= $57,320.73
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the future value of the first part of the investment. We will calculate the future value for the monthly deposit for five years and then the lump sum for another five years.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
i= 0.04/12= 0.003333
n= 5*12= 60 months
FV= {322*[(1.003333^60) - 1]} / 0.003333
FV= $21,348.05
For the lump sum:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
n= 12*5= 60
i= 0.05/12= 0.004167
FV= 21,348.05*(1.004167^60)
FV= $27,397.75
Now, the future value of the second part of the investment:
n= 60
i= 0.0041667
A= 440
FV= {440*[(1.004167^60) - 1]} / 0.004167
FV= $29,922.98
Total value of the investment= 27,397.75 + 29,922.98
Total value of the investment= $57,320.73

On June 1, 2020, Forde Auto Manufacturer sells a 4-door sedan to a dealer for $6,000, which includes three years of maintenance. The standalone selling price of the vehicle is $6,000 and the standalone selling price of the maintenance contract is $400. In addition, Forde offered a $100 cash incentive (per vehicle purchased) to the dealer if the vehicle was purchased in the first week of June 2020. a. How should the transaction price be allocated among the performance obligation(s) for sales made in the first week of June? b. Prepare Forde’s journal entry to record the sale of vehicles for cash, assuming that dealers purchased 20 vehicles during the first week of June 2020. Ignore the cost of sales entries
Answer:
Part a
Allocation based on Stand Alone Selling Prices :
4 - door Sedan and the 3 years maintenance contract = $6,400Cash incentive = $100Part b
Journal entry :
Debit : Cash $130,000
Credit : Revenue - 4 - door Sedan $128,000
Credit : Revenue - Cash incentive $2,000
Explanation:
It is important to identify the step in IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is affected by the question.
Here, Step 2 - Identify the performance obligation in the contract, Step 3 - Determine the Transaction Price, Step 4 - Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance obligation and Step 5 - Recognize the Revenue as or when the Performance Obligation is Satisfied. These are explained and applied as follows :
Step 2 - Identify the performance obligation in the contract.
Here, identify the individual promises (Performance Obligations) that the entity has committed to transfer to the customer.
Also the entity identifies each performance obligation that is distinct, or a series of distinct Goods or Services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.
So, the performance obligations are as follows :
4 - door Sedan and the 3 years maintenance contract(these can not be consumed independently from one another)Cash incentive (can be consumed independently from the rest of the performance obligations)Step 3 - Determine the Transaction Price
Transaction price is the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange of goods or services transferred to the customer.
Transaction Price is $6,500 ($6,000 + $400 + $100)
Step 4 - Allocate the Transaction Price to the Performance obligation
Allocation of Transaction Price is done based on Stand Alone Selling Prices.
Stand alone selling prices have already been identified :
4 - door Sedan and the 3 years maintenance contract = $6,400Cash incentive = $100Step 5 - Recognize the Revenue as or when the Performance Obligation is Satisfied
Stand alone for 20 vehicles :
4 - door Sedan and the 3 years maintenance contract = $6,400 x 20 = $128,000Cash incentive = $100 x 20 = $2,000Journal entry :
Debit : Cash $130,000
Credit : Revenue - 4 - door Sedan $128,000
Credit : Revenue - Cash incentive $2,000

Delta Importers has a pure discount loan with a face value of $180,000 due in one year. The assets of the firm are currently worth $265,000. The shareholders in this firm basically own a _____ option on the assets of the firm with a strike price of _____. Group of answer choices Put; $180,000 Put; $265,000 Warrant; $265,000 Call; $180,000 Call; $265,000
Answer: Call; $180,000
Explanation:
A Call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset if they want to at a certain set price.
In this scenario the shareholders of this firm can buy the assets of this company in order to pay off the debt of $180,000 which in essence makes $180,000 the strike price thereby making this a call option.
The manager of the Quick Stop Corner convenience store (which is open 360 days per year) sells four cases of Stein soda each day (1440 cases per year). Order costs are $8.00 per order. The lead time for an order is three days. Annual holding costs are equal to $57.60 per case. If the manager orders 16 cases each time she places an order, how many orders would she place in a year
Answer:
90 orders she would place in a year
Explanation:
The total annual cases of Stein soda that the manager buys are 1,440 cases. If she were to place 16 cases in a single order then we would divide the total cases bought in a year by the cases bought in a single order to determine the number of orders the manager would place in a year. As shown below:
No. of orders placed in a year = Annual Total Cases bought / Cases purchased in single order
No. of orders placed in a year = 1,440 / 16
No. of orders placed in a year = 90 orders

Present value of the extra principal payment = $214,900 ($350,000 * 614)
Administrative fees associated with the recall and reissue = $112,394
Total cost = $327,294 ($214,900 + $112,394)
The net benefit of the call and reissue = Total benefits minus total costs
= $261,071 ($588,365 - $327,294)

On September 6, 2009, an invoice dated September 4, 2009, with terms of 3/10, net 30 for $3,250 which included a $250 prepaid freight cost, was received. 4. On September 10, 2009, $800 of the merchandise was returned to the seller. Based on the above information, what would be recorded as net purchases amount after all of the transactions have been recorded
Answer:
the amount of the net purchase is $2,384
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the net purchase is shown below:
Net purchases is
= purchases - purchase Discount - purchase returns
= $3,250 - ($3,250 - $250 - $800) × 3% - $800
= $3,250 - $66 - $800
= $2,384
hence, the amount of the net purchase is $2,384
Basically the above formula would be used
Julio produces two types of calculator, standard and deluxe. The company is currently using a traditional costing system with machine hours as the cost driver but is considering a move to activity-based costing. In preparing for the possible switch, Julio has identified two cost pools: materials handling and setup. The collected data follow:
Standard Model Deluxe Model
Number of machine hours 26,500 31,500
Number of material moves 625 925
Number of setups 85 575
Total estimated overhead costs are $313, 020, of which $183, 750 is assigned to the material handling cost pool and $179, 180 is assigned to the setup cost pool.
Required:
1. Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using the traditional cost system.
2. Calculate the overhead assigned to each product using ABC.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
a)
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 313,020 / 58,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5.4 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Standard= 5.4*26,500= $143,100
Deluxe= 5.4*31,500= $170,100
b)
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:
Material handling= 183,750 / 1,550= $118.55 per material moves
Setup= 179,180 / 660= $271.48 per setup
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Standard= 118.55*625 + 271.48*85= $97,169.55
Deluxe= 118.55*925 + 271.48*575= $265,759.75
You are the manager of a monopoly that faces a demand curve described by P = 63 − 5Q. Your costs are C = 10 + 3Q. The profit-maximizing output for your firm is:
Answer:
Profit-maximizing output = 6 units
Explanation:
Given:
Demand curve = P = 63 − 5Q
Cost C = 10 + 3Q
Find:
Profit-maximizing output
Computation:
In monopoly maximum profit stand where;
MR = MC
So,
TR = P x Q
TR = (63 - 5q)Q
TR = 63Q - 5Q²
MR = d(TR) / dQ
So,
MR = d[63Q - 5Q²] / dQ
MR = 63 - 10Q
MC = dC / dQ
MC = d(10+3Q) / dQ
MC = 3
So,
Profit-maximizing output
MR = MC
63 - 10Q = 3
Q = 6
Profit-maximizing output = 6 units

Answer: asset price bubbles are efficient.
Explanation:
The efficient market hypothesis simply states that all information are reflected by the share prices.
The efficient market hypothesis suggests that asset price bubbles are efficient. We should note they economic bubbles take place when the price of assets increases more then their true economic value but late falls.
Which of the following arguments can be used to correctly defend the WTO’s position on retaliatory tariffs? Check all that apply. A countervailing duty protects import-competing producers. Convincing the government to impose antidumping duties is less costly than facing fair competition. Accusing foreign firms of dumping is less costly than producing goods competitively.
Answer:
The arguments that can be used to correctly defend the WTO's position on retaliatory tariffs are:
Convincing the government to impose antidumping duties is less costly than facing fair competition.
Accusing foreign firms of dumping is less costly than producing goods competitively.
Explanation:
A government can impose anti-dumping duties on certain imports when it believes that the prices of the imports are below their fair market values. Truly, some exports have been found to export goods at prices significantly below their domestic market prices. Dumping shows that the export prices may even be below their production costs.

Explain how art sellers use the 4 P's of marketing to promote expensive art to the desired patrons. Then, consider: Do you think it makes sense to view art as a product and promote it using the marketing mix? How is it similar to other products? On the other hand, what makes art different or "special" in comparison to the products we usually buy in a store?
Explanation:
Yes, the art market can benefit from the use of the marketing mix, since the 4p's of marketing, which are the product, price, place and promotion, will directly influence the positioning of a product in the market and consequently increase sales.
In the case of works of art, the marketing mix helps to align marketing strategies to reach the potential audience that consumes art. It can then be considered that the arts make up a specific type of market niche, which has consumers willing to pay certain prices according to the artist, the rarity of the artwork, the time, etc. Therefore, the marketing mix works as a strategic set that will help art sellers to position their product with their consumers and thus achieve the final goal of making sales.
