Answer:
it will take approximately 37.38 months to pay off the debt.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value of the debt = $5,200
P = monthly repayment = $175
r = monthly APR = 15% / 12 = 0.15 / 12 = 0.0125
n = number of months required to pay off the debt = ?
Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for n, we have:
$5,200 = $175 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0125))^n) / 0.0125)
$5,200 / $175 = (1 - (1 / 1.0125)^n) / 0.0125
29.7142857142857 = (1 - 0.987654320987654^n) / 0.0125
29.7142857142857 * 0.0125 = 1 - 0.987654320987654^n
0.371428571428571 = 1 - 0.987654320987654^n
0.987654320987654^n = 1 - 0.371428571428571
0.987654320987654^n = 0.628571428571429
Loglinearlizing both sides and solving for n, we have:
n log(0.987654320987654) = log(0.628571428571429)
n = log(0.628571428571429) / log(0.987654320987654)
n = -0.201645363528069 / -0.00539503188670629
n = 37.38
Therefore, it will take approximately 37.38 months to pay off the debt.
Assume that the following events occurred at a division of Generic Electric for March of the current year:
1. Purchased $100 million in direct materials.
2. Incurred direct labor costs of $46 million.
3. Determined that manufacturing overhead was $76 million.
4. Transferred 90 percent of the materials purchased to work-in-process.
5. Completed work on 75 percent of the work-in-process. Costs are assigned equally across all work-in-process.
6. The inventory accounts have no beginning balances. All costs incurred were debited to the appropriate account and credited to Accounts Payable.
Required:
Give the amounts for the following items in the Work-in-process account: (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Enter your final answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Transfers-In ____ Million
Transfers-Out ______ Million
Ending Balance _____ Million
Answer:
Transfers-In
= Direct materials + Direct labor costs + Manufacturing overhead
= (90% * 100) + 46 + 76
= $212 million
Transfer-Out
= Cost transferred in * work completed
= 212 * 75%
= $159 million
Ending Balance
= Cost transferred in - Cost transferred out
= 212 - 159
= $53 million

The CEO would like to see higher sales and a forecasted net income of $1,000,000. Assume that operating costs (excluding depreciation and amortization) are 55% of sales and that depreciation and amortization increase by 6% and interest expenses will increase by 5%. The tax rate, which is 40%, will remain the same. (Note that while the tax rate remains constant, the taxes paid will change.) What level of sales would generate $1,000,000 in net income? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest dollar at the end of the calculations.
Answer:
The numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question, but the ones I found had different numbers. I hope it can help you understand how to solve this one:
Hermann Industries is forecasting the following income statement:
sales $8,000,000 operating costs excluding depr & amort. 4,400,000 EBITDA $3,600,000 depreciation & amortization 800,000 EBIT 2,800,000 Interest 600,000 EBT 2,200,000 Taxes (40%) 880,000 Net income 1,320,000The CEO would like to see higher sales and a forecasted net income of 2,500,000. Assume that operating costs (excluding depreciation and amortization) are 55% of sales and that depreciation and amortization and interest expenses will increase by 10%. the tax rate, which is 40%, will remain the same. what level of sales would generate 2,500,000 in net income?
We have to first calculate net income before taxes:
net income = net income before taxes x 60%
net income before taxes = $2,500,000 / 0.6 = $4,166,667
now, net income before taxes = EBIT - interests
$4,166,667 = EBIT - ($600,000 x 110%)
EBIT = $4,166,667 + $660,000 = $4,826,667
now it's EBITDA turn:
EBITDA = EBIT + depreciation and amortization
EBITDA = $4,826,667 + ($800,000 x 110%) = $5,706,667
finally:
total sales = EBITDA + operating costs excluding depr & amort., we can replace total sales by X
X = EBITDA + 0.55X
0.45X = $5,706,667
X = $5,706,667 / 0.45 = $12,681,482.22 ≈ $12,681,482
sales level that will result in a $2,500,000 net income = $12,681,482
Paul White, the CFO of Crane Automotive, Inc., is putting together this year's financial statements. He has gathered the following balance sheet information: The firm had a cash balance of $23,015, accounts payable of $163,257, common stock of $313,000, retained earnings of $512,159, inventory of $212,300, goodwill and other assets equal to $78,656, net plant and equipment of $713,500, and short-term notes payable of $21,115. It also had accounts receivable of $141,258 and other current assets of $11,223. How much long-term debt does Crane Automotive have
Answer: $170,421
Explanation:
Using the Accounting equation;
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Assets = Cash + Inventory + Goodwill and other assets + Net plant and equipment + Accounts receivable + Other current assets
= 23,015 + 212,300 + 78,656 + 713,500 + 141,258 + 11,223
= $1,179,952
Equity
= Common stock + Retained earnings
= 313,000 + 512,159
= $825,159
Liabilities = Assets - Equity
Current Liabilities + Long term debt = Assets - Equity
Long term debt = Assets - Equity - Current Liabilities
= 1,179,952 - 825,159 - (163,257 + 21,115)
= $170,421
A business has fixed costs of $45,000 per month and a variable costs of $32,000 per month . What is the average total cost of 7,700 units
Answer:
$10 per unit
Explanation:
The average total cost (AC) is the estimated per-unit cost in a given output. The formula for calculating the average cost
=(Total fixed costs + total variable costs) / number of units produced = average total cost.
Adding Total fixed cost to total variable cost equal to Total cost (TC)
For this business, the average total costs
=$45,000 + $32,000 /7,700
=$77,000/7700
=$10
AC= $10 per unit
Gordon, an employee, is provided group term life insurance coverage equal to twice his annual salary of $125,000 per year. According to the IRS Uniform Premium Table (based on Gordon's age), the amount is $12 per year for $1,000 of protection. The cost of an individual policy would be $15 per year for $1,000 of protection. Since Gordon paid nothing towards the cost of the $250,000 protection, he must include in his 2019 gross income which of the following amounts?

Jason sell appliances at Best Buy. He earns 12% on his total sales for the
week. Last week he made $690.48, what were his total sales for the week?
$3246.38
$1380.96
$5754
$7234.98
Answer:
$5754
Explanation:
Jason earns a 12% commission on total sales.
If he earned $690.48 last week, it means that 690.48 was equivalent to 12% of total sales.
i.e., 690.48 = 12% of total sales
Total sales = 100%
If 12% = 690.48
100% =690.48/12 x 100
=57.54 x 100
=$ 5,754
On January 1, Year 1, the City Taxi Company purchased a new taxi cab for $39,000. The cab has an expected salvage value of $4,000. The company estimates that the cab will be driven 200,000 miles over its life. It uses the units-of-production method to determine depreciation expense. The cab was driven 48,000 miles the first year and 51,000 the second year. What would be the depreciation expense reported on the Year 2 income statement and the book value of the taxi, respectively, at the end of Year 2
Answer:
depreciation expense year 2 = $8,925
book value end of year 2 = $21,675
Explanation:
depreciable value = $39,000 - $4,000 = $35,000
total miles driven = 200,000
depreciation expense per mile driven = $35,000 / 200,000 miles = $0.175 per mile driven
depreciation expense year 1 = 48,000 x $0.175 = $8,400
book value end of year 1 = $39,000 - $8,400 = $30,600
depreciation expense year 2 = 51,000 x $0.175 = $8,925
book value end of year 2 = $30,600 - $8,925 = $21,675
Azule Co. manufactures in two sequential processes, cutting and binding. The two departments report the information below for a recent month. Cutting Binding Beginning work in process Transferred in from cutting dept. $ 1,250 Direct materials $ 1,070 2,766 Conversion 3,400 3,350 Costs added during March Direct materials $ 10,140 $ 9,456 Conversion 11,100 18,725 Transferred in from cutting dept. 17,110 Transferred to finished goods 33,000 Determine the ending balances in the Work in Process Inventory accounts of each department.
Answer:
Cutting $8,600
Binding $19,657
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the ending balances in the Work in Process Inventory accounts of each department
Ending work in process:
Cutting = $1,070 + $3,400+ $10,140 + $11,100- $17,110
Cutting = $8,600
Binding = $1,250 + $2,766 + $3,350+ $9,456+ $18,725 + $17,110 - $33,000
Binding= $19,657
Therefore the ending balances in the Work in Process Inventory accounts of each department is:
Cutting $8,600
Binding $19,657
Companies in the U.S. car rental market vary greatly in terms of the size of the fleet, the number of locations, and annual revenue. In 2011, Hertz had 320,000 cars in service and annual revenue of approximately $4.2 billion. Suppose the following data show the number of cars in service (1,000s) and the annual revenue ($ millions) for six smaller car rental companies. Company Cars (1,000s) Revenue ($ millions) Company A 11.5 118 Company B 10.0 137 Company C 9.0 100 Company D 5.5 37 Company E 4.2 42 Company F 3.3 34
Answer:
The question does not include any requirements, so I looked for similar questions:
Use the least squares method to develop the estimated regression equation. For every additional car placed in service, estimate how much annual revenue will change.1) Y = -14.95 + 12.82X
2) for every 1 thousand cars put into service, revenue should increase by $12.82 million.

Explain the following statement and answer to corresponding question. It is worth 15 points. "In a competitive model without consideration of space (distance) we would expect competition to lead to identical prices but when we include spatial elements we expect competition to lead to different delivered prices." If individuals have to pay a different price for products because they live a different distance from the factory do you think this is an example of discrimination of prices? Why or why not?
Answer:
In marketing, price discrimination refers to selling the same product to different buyers at different prices depending on each buyer's purchasing power or preferences which result in them being able and willing to pay different prices. E.g. a movie theater that charges different prices depending on the age of the movie goers.
In this case, the fact that a factory is located far away from your house might result in a higher price due to delivery costs, but that doesn't meant that it is using price discrimination. E.g. I just purchased a new refrigerator online and I had to pay a delivery fee that increased its price because the seller is from another state. I purchased the refrigerator from that retailer because it lower prices including delivery costs, but someone that purchased it from the same city will probably pay even less than me. But it is just logistics, since I live far away I have to wait 3 days for delivery and pay for it.

Streamsong Credit Bank is offering 5.4 percent compounded daily on its savings accounts. Assume that you deposit $5,100 today. a. How much will you have in the account in 6 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Use 365 days in a year.) b. How much will you have in the account in 12 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Use 365 days in a year.) c. How much will you have in the account in 24 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Use 365 days in a year.)
Answer & Explanation:
a. How much will you have in the account in 6 years?
The formula for Compound Interest is;
= Amount deposited ( 1 + rate)^no of periods
Rate is a yearly rate so daily rate is;
= 5.4%/365
No. of periods;
= 365 * 6
= 2,190 days
= 5,100 * ( 1 + 5.4%/365)^2,190
= $7,051.33
b. How much will you have in the account in 12 years?
No. of periods = 365 * 12
= 4,380 days
= 5,100 * ( 1 + 5.4%/365)^4,380
= $9,749.27
c. How much will you have in the account in 24 years?
No. of periods = 365 * 24
= 8,760 days
= 5,100 * ( 1 + 5.4%/365)^8,760
= $18,636.92

phones?
The following information is available for Trailblazer, a manufacturer of four-wheel all-terrain vehicles for its first two years of operation: 2020 2021 Vehicles produced 1,000 1,400 Vehicles sold 900 1,200 Selling price per unit $1,200 $1,200 Direct material per unit $350 $350 Direct labor per unit $220 $220 Variable manufacturing overhead per unit $40 $40 Fixed manufacturing overhead per year $112,000 $112,000 Variable selling and administrative expense per unit $20 $20 Fixed selling and administrative expense per year $35,000 $35,000 Calculate net income for 2021 using full costing. Net income $enter a net income in dollars 523000
Answer:
$537,000
Explanation:
The computation of net income for 2021 using full costing is shown below:-
Net income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Selling and administrative expenses
= (1,200 × 1,200) - (((1,200 × (350 + 220 + 20)) + 112,000) - ((1,200 × 20) + 35,000)
= $1,440,000 - $844,000 - $59,000
= $537,000
So, for computing the net income we simply applied the above formula.
By observing an individual’s behavior in the situations outlined below, determine therelevant income elasticities of demand for each good (i.e., whether the good is normal orinferior). If you cannot determine the income elasticity, what additional informationmight you need?
a. Bill spends all his income on books and coffee. He finds $20 while rummagingthrough a used paperback bin at the bookstore. He immediately buys a newhardcover book of poetry.
b. Bill loses $10 he was going to use to buy a double espresso. He decides to sell hisnew book at a discount to his friend and use the money to buy coffee.
c. Being bohemian becomes the latest teen fad. As a result, coffee and book pricesrise by 25 percent. Bill lowers his consumption of both goods by the same percentage.
d. Bill drops out of art school and gets an M.B.A. instead. He stops reading books anddrinking coffee. Now he reads The Wall Street Journal and drinks bottled mineralwater
Answer:
Normal goods are those goods which see their demand rise when income rises and fall when income falls. Inferior goods on the other hand will see their demand fall when income rises and vice versa.
a. Book = Normal Good
Coffee = Neutral good
The demand for Books increased when Bill had more money which makes it a normal good.
The demand for coffee did not change when new income came thereby making it a neutral good.
b. Book = Normal Good
Coffee = Inferior good
The demand for Books decreased when Bill had less money which makes it a normal good.
The demand for coffee increased when Bill's income reduced thereby making it an inferior good.
c. Book = Normal Good = Coffee
Both coffee and books are normal goods because Bill is buying less of them when their prices increase because it means that Bill has less income to spend on them.
d. More information needed.
We are unable to tell which goods are normal or inferior as we are not given information on the relative changes in demand as a result of income changing.

You would like to combine a risky stock with a beta of 1.5 with U.S. Treasury bills in such a way that the risk level of the portfolio is equivalent to the risk level of the overall market. What percentage of the portfolio should be invested in Treasury bills? (Formula: Portfolio beta = w1 * beta 1 + w2 *beta 2; w1+w2 = 1) Round your answer to the integer. Note that the answer needs to be in PERCENTAGE. Weight in stock = Blank 1. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. 67 % Weight in T-Bill = Blank 2. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. 33 %
Answer:
33.33%
Explanation:
Let weight of T-bill be x, therefore weight of stock will be 1-x
Portfolio = Weight of stock*Beta of stock + Weight of T-bills*Beta of T-bills
1 = (1-x)*1.5 + x*0
1 = 1.5 - 1.5x
x = 0.5/1.5
x = 0.3333
x = 33.33%
Therefore, the percentage of the portfolio invested in treasury bills is 33.33%.

Live Forever Life Insurance Co. is selling a perpetuity contract that pays $1,450 monthly. The contract currently sells for $114,000. a. What is the monthly return on this investment vehicle? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the APR? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What is the effective annual return? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. 1.27%
b. 15.24%
c. 16.35%
Explanation:
a. What is the monthly return on this investment vehicle?
The formula for the value of a Perpetuity is;
Value = Payment/ rate
Rate = Payment/ Value
Rate = 1,450/114,000
= 0.0127
= 1.27%
b. What is the APR?
APR is the annual rate. The above figure is the monthly rate.
APR = Monthly rate * 12
= 1.27 * 12
= 15.24%
c. What is the effective annual return?
Effective annual return = [1 + (APR/n)]^n – 1
n is the number of compounding periods which is 12 here for monthly compounding.
= [1 + (15.24%/12)]^12– 1
= 16.35%

Calculate D5-6b Company's cost of goods manufactured for the most recent year.
Answer:
cost of goods manufactured= $512,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the direct materials used, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead:
Direct material= 82,000 + 148,000 - 68,000= $162,000
Direct labor= 138,000
Overhead= Insurance on the factory building + Indirect materials + Factory supervisor's salary + Property tax on the factory building + Wages paid to factory janitors + Utilities on the factory
Overhead= 22,000 + 53,000 + 64,000 + 13,000 + 40,000 + 37,000
Overhead= $229,000
Now, to calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 27,000 + 162,000 + 138,000 + 229,000 - 44,000
cost of goods manufactured= $512,000
The controller of Fortnight Co. has requested a quick estimate of the manufacturing supplies needed for the Cleveland Plant for the month of July, when production is expected to be 470,000 units to meet the ending inventory requirements and sales of 475,000 units. Fortnight Co.'s budget analyst has the following actual data for the last three months. Month Production in Units Manufacturing Supplies March 450,000 $723,060 April 540,000 853,560 May 480,000 766,560Using the high-low method to develop a cost estimating equation, the estimate of needed manufacturing supplies for July would be: (CMA adapted)
Answer:
Total cost= $752,060
Explanation:
To calculate the fixed and variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (853,560 - 723,060) / (540,000 - 450,000)
Variable cost per unit= $1.45
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 853,560 - (1.45*540,000)
Fixed costs= $70,560
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 723,060 - (1.45*450,000)
Fixed costs= $70,560
Now, the total cost for 470,000 units:
Total cost= 70,560 + 1.45*470,000
Total cost= $752,060

Explanation:
Sparky Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 38,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 123,000. Units completed and transferred out: 161,000. Ending Inventory: 36,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 25% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $56,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $61,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $375,730. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $612,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of conversion.
Answer:
cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $4.10
Explanation:
beginning WIP = 38,000
100% complete for materials
55% complete for conversion, 45% remaining to be completed
units started and completed = 123,000
units completed and transferred out = 161,000 (including 38,000 of beginning WIP)
ending WIP = 36,500
100% complete for materials
25% complete for conversion
equivalent units processed during this period:
materials = 123,000 + 36,500 = 159,500 EUP
conversion costs = (38,000 x 0.45) + 123,000 + (36,500 x 025%) = 149,225 EUP
cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $612,150 / 149,225 EUP = $4.102194672 ≈ $4.10
