Sam's Dog toys sells a Red toy and a Blue toy. The contribution margin for the Red toy is $5 and for the Blue toy is $10. The expected sales mix is 60% for Red toy and 40% for Blue toy. The total fixed costs amount to $3,000 and the company desires to earn a profit of $500. What is the sale volume in units necessary to reach the desired profit
Answer:
500 units
Explanation:
The computation of the sales units in volume to achieve the desired profit is shown below:
= (Fixed cost + target profit) ÷ (contribution margin per unit)
= ($3,000 + $500) ÷ ($5 × 60% + $10 × 40%)
= $3,500 ÷ 7
= 500 units
Hence, the sales units in volume to achieve the desired profit is 500 units
The above formula should be applied to determine the sales units
hence, the same would be considered
Bonita, Inc. uses activity-based costing as the basis for information to set prices for its six lines of seasonal coats.
Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Estimated Use of Cost Drivers per Activity
Designing $452,795 11,900 designer hours

Stitching and trimming 1,501,000 79,000 labor hours
Wrapping and packing 327,050 31,000 finished units
Required:
Compute the activity-based overhead rates using the following budgeted data for each of the activity cost pools.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the activities rates, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Designing= 452,795 / 11,900= $38.05 per designer hour
Sizing and cutting= 4,231,150 / 157,000= $36.95 per machine hour
Stitching and trimming= 1,501,000 / 79,000= $19 per labor hour
Wrapping and packing= 327,050 / 31,000= $10.55 per finished unit

Cash sales $47,000 $52,170 $57,908.7
Sales on account $103,000 $114,330 $126,906.3
Total budgeted sales $150,000 $166,500 $184,815
Workings
February Cash sales: 47,000*11% = $47,000 + $5170 = $52,170
February Sales on account: $103,000*11% = $103,000 + $11,330 = $114,330
March Cash sales: $52,170 * 11% = $52,170 + $5738.70 = $57,908.7
March Sales on account: $114,330 * 11% = $114,330 + $12,576.3 = $126,906.3
b. Sales revenue in first quarter = $150,000 + $166,500 + $184,815
Sales revenue in first quarter = $501,315
You are the price manager at a restaurant that, for customer relations reasons, can reset its prices (reprint menus) no more than once every two years. Because you want prices that are competitive but cover costs with as much of a profit margin to spare as possible, you require as accurate a prediction of inflation over the next two years as possible.
What would be your best method of predicting inflation?
a. Take the forecast of the economist with the best track record of predicting inflation.
b. Look to the yields of inflation swaps.
c. Consult the University of Michigan survey of inflation expectations among the public.
d. Take the average inflation forecast across many professional economists.
Answer:
My best method of predicting inflation as the price manager at a restaurant is:
b. Look to the yields of inflation swaps.
Explanation:
An inflation swap is a financial derivative contract that transfers inflation risk between two parties. Inflation swap yields can provide a more accurate estimation of the future inflation rates than relying on the predictions of individual economists. This method is widely used by finance professionals to hedge or reduce inflation risk and set long-term prices.
Dary Co. Produces a single product. Its normal selling price is $28 per unit. The variable costs are $18 per unit. Fixed costs are $20,000 for a normal production run of 5,000 units per month. Dary received a request for a special order that would not interfere with normal sales. The order was for 1,500 units and a special price of $17.50 per unit. Dary Co. has the capacity to handle the special order and, for this order, a variable selling cost of $2 per unit would be eliminated.
1. If the order is accepted, what would be the impact on net income?
a. decrease of $750
b. decrease of S6,750
c. increase of $2,250
d. increase of $1,500
2. Should the special order be accepted?
a. Cannot determine from the data given
b. Yes
c. No
d. There would be no difference in accepting or rejecting the special order.
Answer:
1. c. increase of $2,250
2. b. Yes
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine what would be the impact on net income if the order is accepted
First step is to calculate the variable cost
Variable cost special order= ($18-$2)
Variable cost special order=$16
Now let calculate what would be the impact on net income if the order is accepted
Impact on net income=($17.50-$16)*1,500 units
Impact on net income=$1.50*1,500 units
Impact on net income= increase of $2,250
2. YES the special order should be accepted.
You are auditing a bank, and someone provides you with an anonymous tip that an employee is embezzling money from the bank. You decide to investigate the allegation Your interviews with other bank employees confirm that the suspected embezzler has been acting very strange lately. Some employees have seen the employee crying in the bathroom and acting strange in other ways. The bank recently downsized due to poor economic growth, yet the suspect recently bought a new Lexus. Based on some "helpful" hints from bank employees and through your own investigation, you discover that the mortgage taken out by the suspect three years ago for his personal home has recently been paid in full After calculating the suspect's net worth, you deter- mine that he has about $249,000 in income from unknown sources this year alone.
Required:
a. What are possible explanations for why the suspect (1) is experiencing emotional changes and (2) has had an increase in unknown income?
b. Can you conclude from these facts that the suspect has indeed been committing fraud?
Solution :
a). The suspect may experience some emotional changes that are not necessarily due to a scandal or scam. We need to establish that the proper figures and facts are to be analyzed before reaching the conclusion. But however, the primary conclusion is that something is going on on the suspect's mind that needs to be further dealing. (2) increment in the income needs to be validated and also proper root cause of the changes should be analyzed.
b). No from the above facts we cannot conclude that the suspect had committed financial frauds. For this a full proof validation of the facts and the evidences are required for a solid conclusion for helding the suspect for committing financial frauds. Hence further investigation is needed for deriving a conclusion.

A company with excess capacity must decide between scrapping or reworking units that do not pass inspection. The company has 19,000 defective units that cost $5.40 per unit to manufacture. The units can be a) sold as is for $3.50 each, or b) reworked for $4.60 each and then sold for the full price of $8.90 each. What is the incremental income from selling the units as scrap and reworking and selling the units
Answer:
Incremental income as scrap=$66,500
Incremental income when re-worked= $81,700
Explanation:
Unit contribution from selling as scrap is the equal to the scrap value = 3.50
Unit contribution when reworked and sold as scrap =Selling price - cost of re-work= $8.90-4.60= $4.3
Incremental income as scrap = $3.50×19,000= $66,500
Incremental income when re-worked= $4.3 × 19,000 = $81,700
Incremental income as scrap=$66,500
Incremental income when re-worked= $81,700
Carla Vista Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $385,000 (units 5,500), variable costs $250,000, and fixed costs $94,000. Management is considering the following independent courses of action to increase net income. 1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or units sold. 2. Reduce variable costs to 56% of sales. Compute the net income to be earned under each alternative. 1. Net Income $ 2. Net Income $ Which course of action will produce the higher net income
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1.
Selling Price = Sales ÷ Units Sold
Current Selling Price = $385,000 ÷ 5500
= $70
Now
Expected Selling Price per unit = $70 + ($70× 10%)
= $77
Now
Expected Sales = 5500 × $77
= $423,500
Now
Net Income = Sales - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost
= $423,500 - $250,000 - $94,000
2.
Sales = $385000
Variable cost = $385,000 × 56% = $215,600
Sales $385,000
Less: variable cost -$215,600
Contribution Margin $169,400
Les: fixed cost -$94,000
Net Income $75,400
As we can see that if there is an increase in Selling Price by 10% so it would produce highest Net Income.

• Sold land for $10,000.
• Borrowed $15,000 from a local bank.
What was the total change in cash during the year?
The total change in cash of the Xavier Company would be $44,000.
What is the cash?Cash is defined as money in the form of actual currency, such as banknotes and coins. Cash is a current asset in bookkeeping and financial accounting that consists of currency or currency equivalents that may be obtained immediately or almost immediately.
Computation of change in cash:
Total change in cash = Cash change in operating activity + Cash change in Investing activities + Financing activities
Total change in cash = $44,000–$15,000 + $15,000
Total change in cash = $44,000
Whereas,
Change in cash in operating activities:
Change in cash in operating activities = Revenue – Expenses
Change in cash in operating activities = $100,000 – $56,000
Change in cash in operating activities = $44,000
Change in cash in investing activities:
Change in cash in investing activities = Sold land – Purchase of truck
Change in cash in investing activities = $10,000 – $25,000
Change in cash in investing activities = -$15,000
Change in cash from financing activities:
Change in cash from financing activities = Borrowed $15,000 from local bank = $15,000
Therefore, The Xavier Company's total cash change would be $44,000.

Golf Ball Inc. expects earnings to be $10,000 per year in perpetuity if it pays out all of its earnings in dividends. Suppose the firm has an opportunity to invest $1,000 of next year's earnings to upgrade its machinery. It is expected that this upgrade will increase earnings in all future years (starting two years from now) by $140. Assume that Golf Ball's next dividend is one year from now. The required rate of return is 12%.
What is the value of Golf Ball Inc. if it undertakes the upgrade?
Answer: $ 83,333.33
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the value of Golf Ball Inc. if it undertakes the upgrade will be:
It should be noted that the earning will be distributed as dividend if there's no upgrade. Hence, dividend will be $10000.
Since the required rate of return is 12%, then the value of Golf Ball Inc. if it undertakes the upgrade will be:
= Dividend / required rate of return
= 10000 / 12 %
= 10000 / 0.12
= $ 83,333.33
Jane was employed by ABC Construction Company as a forklift operator. She noticed that the foreman was taking shortcuts on some of the trenching which caused a dangerous condition that could possibly cause injury to employees who were close to the area of the trench. Jane was not at risk of being hurt by the shortcut in the trenching operation. Jane refused to do the work because of her belief that the trenching work was not being done in a safe manner. Jane was told to punch out and go home. Jane would like to file a claim against her employer.
We will be conducting a classroom debate on this case. Presume you have been hired to represent either the Jane or ABC Construction in this case (students are assigned by their last name see below). Provide the class in your initial response a statement as to why your client’s position is correct. For those representing ABC Construction, explain why the company was within its rights to send Jane home without pay. For those representing the employee Jane, explain why she is justified in refusing to do work in light of a dangerous condition on the worksite.
Answer:
According to the OSHA act, Jane is right in her claim to refuse to work until safe working conditions are provided.
Explanation:
I would be representing Jane and will be following the debate in light of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA) act. According to the OSHA act, employers are responsible for the provision of a safe and healthy workplace to their employees. Failing to do so could lead to a refusal. According to the section of the OSHA act, An employee has the right to refuse to work, if all of the below-mentioned conditions are met:
A real and imminent danger of serious injury or death exists in the workplace. Where possible the employee has asked the employer to eliminate the danger. The employer has failed to eliminate the danger. The employee refuses to work because the employee believes, in good faith, that there is an imminent danger of serious injury or death.As the foreman of ABC construction was using shortcuts in trenching and thus stigmatized the trenching. This could lead to a dangerous situation for the area of the trench leading to its collapse. This is an indication of imminent danger and thus the employee in the area of the trench has a serious threat to his/her life Thus Jane is right in her claim to refuse to work until safe working conditions are provided.

One of the defining characteristics of a matrix organizational structure is that it overlays two organizational structures in order to leverage the benefits of both. is the only structure that organizes employees around specific knowledge or other resources. uses self-directed work teams rather than individuals as the basic building block of organizations. is an alliance of several organizations for the purpose of creating a product or serving a client.
Answer:
overlays two organizational structures in order to leverage the benefits of both.
Explanation:
An organizational structure can be defined as the process which typically involves dividing an organization into various functional units.
Basically, the organizational structure comprises of three (3) main dimensions and these are;
I. The vertical dimension: this is typically the decision-making responsibilities (decentralization and centralization).
II. The horizontal dimension: this divides the organization into subunits.
III. Integrating mechanisms: it is based typically on the strategic mechanism that controls the various subunits within an organization.
A functional (departmental) organizational structure is a type of structure used to organize staffs by dividing them into various departments based on their skill set, roles or functions and knowledge.
These departments which are vertically structured may include, finance, IT, sales and marketing, research and development, customer service etc. Also, the various departments are headed by a functional manager who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing, managing and reporting to the executive management.
A matrix organizational structure is a type work structure where reporting relationships between employees are set up as a matrix rather than the conventional hierarchy approach. This simply means, there are two (2) chains of command; employees have dual reporting relationships to both a project and functional manager.
The matrix organizational structure can be classified into three (3) categories, these are;
1. Weak matrix structure.
2. Balanced matrix structure.
3. Strong matrix structure.
One of the defining characteristics of a matrix organizational structure is that it overlays two organizational structures in order to leverage the benefits of both.

b. $24,000 unfavorable
c. $210,900 unfavorable
d. $210,900 favorable
Answer:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance = 80,000 favorable
Explanation:
Given:
Overhead rate variance = $1.70 per hour
Total machine hour = 160,000 hour
Actual overhead costs = $192,000
Find:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance
Computation:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance = [Standard overhead rate - Actual overhead rate]Actual hour
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance =[1.7 - (192,000 / 160,000)]160,000
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance = [1.7 - (1.2)]160,000
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance = [0.5]160,000
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance = 80,000 favorable

Aug. 3 3 5,100 15,300
8 $ 40,200
On July 28, Speed World Cycles sold four Kazomma 900 dirt bikes to the Vince Wilson racing team. The remaining four bikes remained in inventory at September 30, the end of Speed World’s fiscal year.
Assume that Speed World Cycles uses a perpetual inventory system. (See the data provided.)
Required:
a-1. Compute the cost of goods sold relating to the sale on July 28 and the ending inventory of Kazomma 900 dirt bikes at September 30, using Average cost.
a-2. Compute the cost of goods sold relating to the sale on July 28 and the ending inventory of Kazomma 900 dirt bikes at September 30, using FIFO method.
a-3. Compute the cost of goods sold relating to the sale on July 28 and the ending inventory of Kazomma 900 dirt bikes at September 30, using LIFO method.
b-1. Which of the three cost flow assumptions will result in Speed World Cycles reporting the highest net income for the current year?
b-2. Which of the three cost flow assumptions minimizes the income taxes owed by Speed World Cycles for the year?
b-3. May Speed World Cycles use the cost flow assumption that results in the highest net income for the current year in its financial statements, but use the cost flow assumption that minimizes taxable income for the current year in its income tax return?
Answer:
Speed World Cycles
a. Average Cost FIFO LIFO
Cost of goods sold $20,100 $19,900 $20,300
Ending inventory $20,100 $20,300 $19,900
b-1. FIFO will result in Speed World Cycles reporting the highest net income for the current year, because of the reduced cost of goods sold.
b-2. LIFO minimizes the income taxes owed by Speed World Cycles for the year, because it reduces the income before taxes.
b-3. Yes. However, the cost flow assumptions self-correct in later years, by which time it is not allowed to be jumping from one cost flow assumption to another.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Purchase Date Units Purchased Unit Cost Total Cost
July 1 2 $ 4,950 $ 9,900
July 22 3 5,000 15,000
Aug. 3 3 5,100 15,300
Total 8 $ 40,200
July 28 Sold 4
September 30 4 (8 - 4)
Average cost = $40,200/8 = $5,025
a-1. Cost of goods sold = $20,100 (4 * $5,025)
Ending inventory = $20,100 (4 * $5,025)
a-2. FIFO:
Ending inventory = $20,300 (3 * $5,100 + 1 * $5,000)
Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available minus cost of ending inventory
= $40,200 - $20,300
= $19,900
a-3 LIFO:
Cost of goods sold = $20,300 (3 * $5,100 + 1 * $5,000)
Ending inventory = Cost of goods available minus cost of goods sold
= = $40,200 - $20,300
= $19,900

8. Imagine a private company decides to sponsor an event in exchange for publicity. Give an example of when a sponsorship could have a negative result for the sponsoring company.
Answer:
Political events like a candidate rally are particularly tricky for companies, and sponsoring them could result in a lot of consumer backlash, specially from the people who are not affiliated to the sponsored politician or political party.
This is why many companies avoid political sponsorships or political statements, because politics is a very divisive issue, and while such an action could earn the company the loyal following of a few, it could also discourage a lot more people from ever buying their products.

Explanation:
An investment firm recommends that a client invest in bonds rated AAA, A, and B. The average yield on AAA bonds is %, on A bonds %, and on B bonds %. The client wants to invest twice as much in AAA bonds as in B bonds. How much should be invested in each type of bond if the total investment is $, and the investor wants an annual return of $ on the three investments.
Answer:
The investor should invest $4,000 in AAA bonds, $3,000 in A bonds, and $2,000 in B bonds.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as all the data in it are omitted. The complete question with the omitted is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:
An investment firm recommends that a client invest in bonds rated AAA, A, and B. The average yield on AAA bonds is 5%, on A bonds 6%, and on B bonds 9%. The client wants to invest twice as much in AAA bonds as in B bonds. How much should be invested in each type of bond under the following conditions? How much should be invested in each type of bond if the total investment is $9,000, and the investor wants an annual return of $560 on the three investments.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
From the question, we have:
AAA = 2B
Total investment is therefore as follows:
2B + A + B = $9,000
3B + A = $9,000 …………………………. (1)
Annual return is also as follows:
(5% * 2B) + (6% * A) + (9% * B) = $560
0.1B + 0.06A + 0.09B = $560
0.1B + 0.09B + 0.06A = $560
0.19B + 0.06A = $560 …………………. (2)
From equation (1), we have:
A = $9,000 – 3B …………………………. (3)
Substituting A from equation (3) into equation (2), we have:
0.19B + 0.06($9,000 – 3B) = $560
0.19B + 540 – 0.18B = $560
0.19B – 0.18B = $560 - $540
0.01B = $20
B = $20 / 0.01
B = $2,000
Since:
AAA = 2B
Therefore, we have:
AAA = 2 * $2,000
AAA = $4,000
Substituting B = $2,000 into equation (3), we have:
A = $9,000 – (3 * $2,000)
A = $9,000 - $6,000
A = $3,000
By implication, we have total investment as follows:
AAA + A + B = $4,000 + $3,000 + $2,000 = $9,000
Therefore, the investor should invest $4,000 in AAA bonds, $3,000 in A bonds, and $2,000 in B bonds.

Explanation:
Alpha Communications, Inc., which produces telecommunications equipment in the United States, has a very strong local market for its circuit board. The variable production cost is $130, and the company can sell its entire supply domestically for $170. The U.S. tax rate is 40 percent. Alternatively, Alpha can ship the circuit board to its division in Germany, to be used in a product that the German division will distribute throughout Europe. Information about the German product and the division’s operating environment follows.
Selling price of final product: $360
Shipping fees to import circuit board: $20
Labor, overhead, and additional material costs of final product: $115
Import duties levied on circuit board (to be paid by the German division): 10% of transfer price
German tax rate: 60%
Assume that U.S. and German tax authorities allow a transfer price for the circuit board set at either U.S. variable manufacturing cost or the U.S. market price. Alpha’s management is in the process of exploring which transfer price is better for the firm as a whole.
Required:
1. Compute overall company profitability per unit if all units are transferred and U.S. variable manufacturing cost is used as the transfer price. Show separate calculations for the U.S. operation and the German division.
2. Repeat requirement (1). assuming the use of the U.S. market price as the transfer price. Which of the two transfer prices is better for the firm?
3. Assume that the German division can obtain the circuit board in Germany for $155.
a. If you were the head of the German division, would you rather do business with your U.S. division or buy the circuit board locally? Why?
b. Rather than proceed with the transfer, is it in the best interest of Alpha to sell its goods domestically and allow the German division to acquire the circuit board in Germany? Why? Show computations to support your answer.
Answer:
1-If the transfer price is set equal to the U.S. variable manufacturing cost, Alpha Communications will have a profit of $32.80 per circuit board with US Share as $0 and German Share as $32.80.
2-If the transfer price is set equal to the U.S. market price, Alpha Communications will have a profit of $39.20 per circuit board with US Share as $24 and German Share as $15.20. The transfer price as US market price is more effective for the Alpha Communications.
3:a- If the German division can obtain the boards in Germany for 155, it is better for the German division because due to lack of additional shipping fee and import duty, this price is more feasible for the German division.
3:b- If the company decide to sell the US circuit boards locally and allow German division to obtain the circuit boards in Germany, then Alpha Communication will have a profit of $60 per circuit board with US Share as $24 and German Share as $36.
Explanation:
1-If the transfer price is set equal to the U.S. variable manufacturing cost, Alpha Communications will have a profit of $32.80 per circuit board. The calculations are as follows:
