Logistics Solutions provides order fulfillment services for dot merchants. The company maintains warehouses that stock items carried by its dot clients. When a client receives an order from a customer, the order is forwarded to Logistics Solutions, which pulls the item from storage, packs it, and ships it to the customer. The company uses a predetermined variable overhead rate based on direct labor-hours.

In the most recent month, 185,000 items were shipped to customers using 8,000 direct labor-hours. The company incurred a total of $27600 in variable overhead costs. According to the company's standards, 0.04 direct labor-hours are required to fulfill an order for one item and the variable overhead rate is $3.50 per direct labor-hour.

Required:
a. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to ship 185,000 items to customers?
b. What is the standard variable overhead cost allowed (SH SR) to ship 185,000 items to customers?
c. What is the variable overhead spending variance?
d. What is the variable overhead rate variance and the variable overhead efficiency variance?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Standard labor-hours allowed= 7,400 direct labor Hours.

The standard variable overhead cost= $ 25,900

Variable overhead spending variance =$400

Variable overhead rate variance =$400

Variable overhead efficiency variance=$2,100

Explanation

a.)  The standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to ship 185,000 items to customers

= 0.04 direct labor-hours  x 185,000= 7,400 direct labor Hours.

b). The standard variable overhead cost allowed to ship 185,000 items to customers=

standard labor-hours  SH ×  Standard Rate SR

7400  X $3.50= $ 25,900

c).  Variable overhead spending variance is calculated as

Actual Overhead Costs - Actual hours  x  Standard Rate  

 = $27600 -  8,000  x 3.50 = $27600 -28,000

  =$400

d1). Variable overhead rate variance =

Actual hours x Actual Variable Overhead Rate per Hour - Actual hours  Standard Variable Overhead Rate per Hour

Variable overhead rate variance =8000 x  (27600/8000) - 8000 x 3.50

8000 x 3.45 - 8000 x 3.50

27,600-28,000=$400

d2) Variable overhead efficiency variance= Actual Hours x Standard Rate - Standard Hours  x Standard Rate

8000 x 3.50 -7400 x 3.50

28,000 -25,900

=$2,100

Answers

Answer:

monopolistically competitive

a monopolistically competitive is characterised by differentiated goods. A monopoly has only one seller. So, the market for deodorants is not a monopoly because there are plenty sellers

perfectly competitive industry sells homogenous products. The deodorants differ by smell. Thus it is not a perfect competition

b. Perfect competition

there are many sellers and the goods sold are homogenous

c. monopolistically competitive

the coffee beams are differentiated and there are many sellers

d. monopoly

there is only one seller

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants  

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of a monopoly is a utility company

Answers

Solution :

Given :

The annual demand, [tex]$D=5000$[/tex] units

Ordering cost, [tex]$S=\$30$[/tex]

Carrying cost, [tex]$H=\$50$[/tex]

Lead time, L = 10 days

Number of days per year = 250 days

So, average demand is d = [tex]$\frac{D}{250}$[/tex] days

                                         = [tex]$\frac{5000}{250}$[/tex]  = 20 units

a). The economic order quantity, Q = [tex]$\sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}}$[/tex]

                                                               [tex]$=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 5000 \times 30}{50}}$[/tex]

                                                               = 77 units

b). Average inventory = [tex]$\frac{Q}{2}$[/tex]

                                    [tex]$=\frac{77}{2}$[/tex]

                                    ≈ 39 units

c). Number of orders per year = [tex]$\frac{D}{Q}$[/tex]

                                                  [tex]$=\frac{5000}{77}$[/tex]

                                                  = 65 units

d). Time between orders = [tex]$\frac{Q}{D}$[/tex]  x number of days per year

                                         [tex]$=\frac{77}{5000} \times250$[/tex]

                                        = 3.85

e). Annual ordering cost = [tex]$\frac{D}{Q} \times S$[/tex]

                                        [tex]$=\frac{5000}{77} \times 30$[/tex]

                                        = $ 1948.05

    Annual carrying cost = [tex]$\frac{Q}{2} \times H$[/tex]

                                        [tex]$=\frac{77}{2} \times 50$[/tex]

                                          = $ 1925

    Total annual cost of inventory = $ 1948.05 + $ 1925

                                                       = $ 3873.05

f). Reorder point = [tex]$d \times L$[/tex]

                           [tex]$=20 \times 10$[/tex]

Benson Corporation manufactures car stereos. It is a division of Berna Motors, which manufactures vehicles. Benson sells car stereos to Berna, as well as to other vehicle manufacturers and retail stores. The following information is available for Benson's standard unit: variable cost per unit $37, fixed cost per unit $23, and selling price to outside customer $86. Berna currently purchases a standard unit from an outside supplier for $80. Because of quality concerns and to ensure a reliable supply, the top management of Berna has ordered Benson to provide 200,000 units per year at a transfer price of $35 per unit. Benson is already operating at full capacity. Benson can avoid $3 per unit of variable selling costs by selling the unit internally.
1. What is the minimum transfer price that Benson should accept? ,
2. What is the potential loss to the corporation as a whole resulting from this forced transfer?

Answers

Answer:

Potential loss to the whole corporation = $(60,000)

Explanation:

The Benson  Division is operating at full capacity, hence it has no excess capacity .

This implies that it can not produce enough to meet both demand of  internal and external buyers.

Hence, Benson Division  cannot accommodate the demands of the Berna Division at a price lower than the external price, because it will result to a loss in contribution.

To maximize and optimize the group's profit in this scenario, the minimum transfer should be:

Minimum transfer price = External selling price - savings in selling cost resulting from in internal transfer

= $86-3= 83

Minimum transfer price = $83.

Effect on Group's profit

Any unit transferred at a priced lower than $83 would result in a unit loss to the Benson Division equal to $83 minus the transfer  price.

Any unit transferred to Berna at a price lower that its current purchase cost would save the division an amount equal to the current purchase cost  minus the forced transfer price.

The potential loss to the organization as a whole would be computed as the net effect of the following:

Lost contribution by Benson : The difference between the Minimum transfer price and the transfer imposed by the group company multiplied by the quantity transferred.

Savings made by the Berna Division : The difference between the forced transfer price and current purchase of Berna.

We can summarize the effect of the forced transfer price on the whole corporation as follows:

Lost contribution per unit = 83 - 35= 48 .

Savings made per unit = 80 - 35 = 45

                                                                                       $

Total lost contribution by Benson

(48 × 200,000)                                                         (960,000)            

Savings made by Berna as result of the transfer

(45 × 200,000)                                                          900,000

Potential loss to the group                                       (60,000)

Potential loss to the whole corporation = $(60,000)

Expense recognition: this principle establishes that expenses are recognized when their associated revenue is realized. For example, if I buy inventory in May, and sell it in June, I will recognize the inventory expense in June, not in May.Measurement: this principle establishes that businesses should only record transactions when these transactions can be expressed in terms of money.Revenue recognition: this principle establishes that revenues are accounted for when they are realized, not necessarily when they are paid for. For example, if I sell merchandise in June on credit, and the credit is due in July, I will recognize the revenue in June, not in July.Full disclosure: this principle establishes that public companies (those that sell and buy their stock in the public market) should disclose all relevant financial information to the stockholders (the authorities, investors, credit rating agencies, auditing agencies).

Generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, are standards that encompass the details, complexities, and legalities of business and corporate accounting.

On December 31, the value of the account is X. Using the time-weighted method, the equivalent annual effective yield during the first 6 months is equal to the (time-weighted) annual effective yield during the entire 1-year period. Calculate X.

Answers

Answer:

236.25

Explanation:

Calculation to determine X

First step is to calculate the 6 months Yield

6 month Yield=(40/40+20) (80/40+20) (157.60/80+80)+1)

6 month Yield=(40/60) (80/60) (157.60/160)-1

6 month Yield=5%

Second step is to calculate the Annual equivalent

Annual equivalent=(1.05)^2-1

Annual equivalent=10.25%

Third step is to calculate the 1 year yield

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/40+20) (175/80+80) (x/175+75)

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/60) (175/160) (x/250)-1

1 year yield=0.1025

Now Let calculate X

x(0.004667)=1+.1025

x(0.004667)=1.1025

x=1.1025/0.004667

x=236.25

Therefore X is 236.25

b. the IRR for the ATCF of this project.

Answers

Answer:

= 15700

73.5%

Explanation:

Cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation = 15700

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

20,000 / 5 = 4,000

($28,500 - $5000 - $4000) x (1-0.4) + 4000 = $15700

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator  

Cash flow in year 0 = -20,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = 15,700

IRR = 73.5%

Answers

Answer:

$1.47

Explanation:

Diluted earnings per share = Earnings before preferred stock dividends ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Outstanding

where,

Earnings before preferred stock dividends is calculated as :

Net Income                                                                   $3,470,000

Add Preferred Stock Dividends                                      $195,000

Earnings attributable to Common Stock holders      $3,665,000

Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Outstanding is calculated as :

Outstanding end of  the year                                        2,500,000 shares

therefore,

Diluted earnings per share = $3,665,000 / 2,500,000 shares = $1.47

Method B will have a first cost of $120,000, an operating cost of $8000 in year 1, increasing by $6500 each year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. At an interest rate of 12% per year, which method should be used on the basis of a present worth analysis

Answers

Answer:

Method B should be used

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the present worth (in bold red color) of Methods A and B.

From the attached excel file, we have:

Present worth of Method A = –$150,261.25

Present worth of Method B = –$125,178.34

Since the present worth of Method B of –$125,178.34 is lower than the present worth of Method A of –$150,261.25, it implies that Method B cost is less and more attractive at an interest rate of 12% per year than Method A cost. Therefore, Method B should be used.

In order to motivate our sales force to increase sales, we decided to increase our commissions and salaries and increase marketing. At the same time, our supplier increased its prices, and we felt we could pass that cost increase on to our customers in the form of price increase. However, with the additional pressure to make sales, coupled with the increased sales price, we had to loosen credit terms on sales. We also had to lease a little more distribution space and acquire another truck to handle the volume increase. Our shipping expense relates to gasoline on deliveries. Luckily, gas prices went down from what we originally expected this year.

Commission - Consistent

Shipping expense - Inconsistent

Bad debt expense - Unexplained

Salaries - Consistent

Lease of distribution center - Consistent

Depreciation of fleet and equipment - Inconsistent

Advertising - Consistent

Office rent, Phone, Internet - Inconsistent

Explanation:

The increase in selling price will result in change in the revenue figure. The cost of distribution is increased due to handling the addition volume. This will result in an increase in shipping expense and cost of goods sold. Salaries and  commission of the staff will remain consistent as there will be no change due to increase of selling price.

Hill Corporation issued $2,100,000 of 8% bonds at 98 on January 2, 2019. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds had a 10-year life from the date of issue, and the company uses the straight-line method of amortization. On March 31, 2022, Hill recalls the bonds at the call price of 107 plus accrued interest.

Required:
Prepare the journal entries to record the reacquisition (recall) of Hill's bonds.

Answers

Answer:

Hill Corporation

Journal Entries

March 31, 2022:

Debit Bond Liability $2,247,000

Debit Interest Payable $42,000

Credit Cash $2,289,000

To record the recall of the bonds, including accrued interest.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

January 2, 2019: Face value of bonds issued = $2,100,000

Proceeds from the issue of the bonds at 98 =    2,058,000

Discount from the issue =                                        $42,000

Semi-annual amortization under straight-line = $2,100 ($42,000/20)

Coupon interest rate = 8% with payment made semiannually

Annual interest payment = $168,000 ($2,100,000 * 8%)

Semiannual interest payment = $84,000 ($2,100,000 * 4%)

Bonds duration = 10 years

March 31, 2022 Recall price of 107 = $2,247,000

Accrued interest from January 1 to March 31 = $42,000

Total payment to bondholders = $2,289,000

Axelia Corporation has two divisions, Refining and Extraction. The company's primary product is Luboil Oil. Each division's costs are provided below: Extraction: Variable costs per barrel of oil $14 Fixed costs per barrel of oil $5 Refining: Variable costs per barrel of oil $27 Fixed costs per barrel of oil $31 The Refining Division has been operating at a capacity of 40,200 barrels a day and usually purchases 25,100 barrels of oil from the Extraction Division and 15,600 barrels from other suppliers at $58 per barrel. What is the transfer price per barrel from the Extraction Division to the Refining Division, assuming the method used to place a value on each barrel of oil is 180% of variable costs

Answers

Answer: $25.20

Explanation:

The transfer price per barrel from the Extraction Division to the Refining Division, assuming the method used to place a value on each barrel of oil is 180% of variable costs will be calculated thus:

Variable cost of extraction division = $14

Transfer price will now be:

= 180% × $14

= 180/100 × $14

= 1.8 × $14

= $25.20

Olsen Outfitters Inc. believes that its optimal capital structure consists of 65% common equity and 35% debt, and its tax rate is 40%. Olsen must raise additional capital to fund its upcoming expansion. The firm will have $2 million of retained earnings with a cost of rs = 12%. New common stock in an amount up to $7 million would have a cost of re = 16%. Furthermore, Olsen can raise up to $2 million of debt at an interest rate of rd = 10%, and an additional $5 million of debt at rd = 12%. The CFO estimates that a proposed expansion would require an investment of $5.7 million.

Required:
What is the WACC for the last dollar raised to complete the expansion? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer: 12.5%

Explanation:

Amount that will be raised with Equity = 65% * 5,700,000 = $3,705,000

This is more than the retained earnings so new equity will have to be issued at cost of 16%

Amount raised by debt = 35% * 5,700,000 = $1,995,000

Less than $2 million so cost of debt is 10%

WACC = cost of equity * weight of equity + weight of debt * cost of debt * ( 1 - tax rate)

= (16% * 65% ) + (35% * 10% * (1 - 40% tax))

= 12.5%

We have the following information for the Valverde company. The stock pays a $1 dividend and it will grow by 12% the first year, 9% the second year and 3% forever after that. The unlevered bheta is 1, D/E is 75/25 and the tax rate is .3. Additionally, we know the treasury bond rate is 0.04 and the ROR of the S&P has been 10%.

Required:
Derive the stock price of Valverde.

Answers

Answer:

P0 = $5.99394080634  rounded off to $5.99

Explanation:

The dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under DDM is,

P0 = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  Dn / (1+r)^n  +  [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]

Where,

D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so on g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return

We first need to calculate the levered beta of Valverde.

Levered Beta = Unlevered Beta * [1+ (1-tax rate) * (Debt/Equity)]

Levered Beta = 1 * [(1 + (1 - 0.3) * (75/25)]

Levered Beta = 3.1

We first need to calculate the cost of equity (r) using the CAPM equation. The equation is,

r = risk free rate  +  Levered Beta  *  (Expected return on Market - risk free rate)

We know that the risk free rate is 0.04 or 4%, the beta is 3.1 and the expected return on market is 0.1 or 10%.

r = 0.04  +  3.1  *  (0.1 - 0.04)

r = 0.226 or 22.6%

Now, using the DDM equation, the price of stock will be,

P0 = 1 * (1+0.12) / (1+0.226)  +  1 * (1+0.12) * (1+0.09) / (1+0.226)^2  +  

[(1 * (1+0.12) * (1+0.09) * (1+0.03) / (0.226 - 0.03)) / (1+0.226)^2]

P0 = $5.99394080634  rounded off to $5.99

P0 = $99.2830  rounded off to $99.28
