1) Calculation of the Allocated Cost of Sold Items:
a) Production Units:
Lobster tails = 3,200/100 * 58 = 1,856 units
Lobster flakes = 3,200/100 * 26 = 832 units
Total units = 2,688 units, costing $12,800
b) Material costs:
Lobster tails = 1,856/2,688 * $12,800 = $8,838
Lobster flakes = 832/2,688 * $12,800 = $3,962
c) Labor costs:
Lobster tails = 1,856/2,688 * $7,400 = $5,110
Lobster flakes = 832/2,688 * $7,400 = $2,290
d) Total Production costs (Materials & Labor):
i) Lobster tails = $8,838 + $5,110 = $13,948
per unit cost = $13,948/1,856 = $7.52
ii) Lobster flakes = $3,962 + $2,290 = $$6,252
per unit cost = $6,252/832 = $7.51
e) Cost of Sales:
Lobster tails = $7.52 x 1,722 = $12,949.44
Lobster flakes = $7.51 x 752 = $5,647.52
2) Calculation of the Allocated Cost of Ending Inventory:
a) Ending Inventory units:
Lobster tails = Production unit Minus Sales unit = 1,856 - 1,722 = 134
Lobster flakes = Production unit Minus Sales unit = 832 - 752 = 80
b) Ending Inventory costs:
Lobster tails = 134 x $7.52 = $ 1,007.68
Lobster flakes = 80 x $7.51 = $600.80
Explanation:
To calculate the costs of sales and the costs of ending inventory, the first step is to calculate the units produced. The material and labour costs are then apportioned based on the units produced since no costs are allocated to the waste.
Then, the unit costs of tails and flakes are calculated. These form the bases for computing the cost of items sold and the ending inventory.
Skysong, Inc., spent $50,400 in attorney fees while developing the trade name of its new product, the Mean Bean Machine. Prepare the journal entries to record the $50,400 expenditure and the first year’s amortization, using an 8-year life. Use the account title "Trade Names". (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
Trade Names Dr, $50,400
To Cash $50,400
(Being trade names is recorded)
Here we debited trade names as it increasing the assets and we credited the cash as decreasing the assets.
Amortization Expense Dr, $6,300
($50,400 ÷ 8)
To Trade Names $6,300
(Being amortization expenses is recorded)
Here, we debited the amortization expenses are increased the expenses and we credited the trade names as decrease the assets.
Final answer:
The expenditure on attorney fees for the trade name is recorded by debiting Trade Names and crediting Cash. The first year's amortization is recorded by debiting Amortization Expense and crediting Accumulated Amortization - Trade Names with $6,300, based on an eight-year life.
Explanation:
The expenditure and subsequent amortization of the trade name costs for Skysong, Inc. involve two separate journal entries. Initially, the expenditure for the attorney fees to develop the trade name must be recorded. Then, the amortization of the trade name cost over its useful life begins. Since the trade name has an eight-year life, the annual amortization expense would be calculated by dividing the initial cost by the number of years.
To record the $50,400 expenditure for developing the trade name, the entry would be:This represents an equal yearly distribution of the cost, which is ($50,400 divided by 8 years) = $6,300 per year.
GoSnow sells snowboards. Each snowboard requires direct materials of $128, direct labor of $53, and variable overhead of $63. The company expects fixed overhead costs of $301,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs of $229,000 for the next year. The company has a target profit of $189,800. It expects to produce and sell 11,800 snowboards in the next year. Compute the selling price using the variable cost method. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Unitary selling price= $304.93
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary variable costs:
direct materials of $128
direct labor of $53
the variable overhead of $63.
Fixed costs:
The fixed overhead costs of $301,000
Fixed selling and administrative costs of $229,000
The company has a target profit of $189,800.
Units sold= 11,800 snowboards
First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin required:
Contribution margin= net profit + total fixed expense
Contribution margin= 189,000 + (301,000 + 229,000)
Contribution margin= $719,000
Now, we calculate the total variable expense:
Total variable cost= 11,800* (128 + 53 + 63)
TVC= 2,879,200
Finally, we calculate total sales and the unitary selling price:
Total sales= contribution margin + total variable cost
Total sales= 719,000 + 2,879,200= 3,598,200
Unitary selling price= 3,598,200/11,800= $304.93
D.L Marx and Company, a manufacturer of quality handmade walnut bowls, has had a steady growth in sales for the past 5 years. However, increased competition has led Mr. Barnes, the president, to believe that an aggressive marketing campaign will be necessary next year to maintain the company's present growth. To prepare for next year's marketing campaign, the company's controller has prepared and presented Mr. Barnes with the following data for the current year, 2017:
Total variable cost per bowl: $12.60Total fixed costs: $184,800Selling price: $28.00
Expected sales, 21500 units: $602,000Income tax rate: %40What is the projected net income for 2017?
Final answer:
The projected net income for 2017 is $198,660.
Explanation:
To calculate the projected net income for 2017, we need to calculate the total variable costs and the total fixed costs. The total variable cost is the variable cost per bowl multiplied by the expected sales volume, which is $12.60 multiplied by 21,500 units, equal to $270,900. The total fixed costs remain constant at $184,800. Next, we calculate the total revenue by multiplying the selling price by the expected sales volume, which is $28.00 multiplied by 21,500 units, equal to $602,000.
Now, we can calculate the gross profit by subtracting the total variable costs from the total revenue, which is $602,000 minus $270,900, equal to $331,100. Then, we calculate the income tax expense by multiplying the gross profit by the income tax rate, which is $331,100 multiplied by 0.40 (40%), equal to $132,440.
Finally, we calculate the projected net income by subtracting the income tax expense from the gross profit, which is $331,100 minus $132,440, equal to $198,660. Therefore, the projected net income for 2017 is $198,660.
Oriole Company uses the gross method to record sales made on credit. On June 10, 2020, it sold goods worth $247000 with terms 2/10, n/30 to Sandhill Co. On June 19, 2020, Oriole received payment for 1/2 of the amount due from Sandhill Co. Oriole’s fiscal year end is on June 30, 2020. What amount will be reported in the financial statements for the accounts receivable due from Sandhill Co.?
Answer:
$123,500
Explanation:
The computation of the amount reported in the financial statements is shown below
= Sales amount - the amount of sales received
= $247,000 - $247,000 × 50%
= $247,000 - $123,500
= $123,500
by deducting the amount of sale received from the sales amount we can get the amount i.e to be reported in the financial statements
Equipment which cost $426,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $228,000 was sold for $222,000. This transaction should be shown on the statement of cash flows (indirect method) as a(n):________.
A) deduction from net income of $24,000 and a $222,000 cash inflow from investing activities.
B) deduction from net income of $24,000 and a $198,000 cash inflow from investing activities.
C) addition to net income of $24,000 and a $222,000 cash inflow from financing activities.D) addition to net income of $24,000 and a $198,000 cash inflow from financing activities.
Answer:
A) deduction from net income of $24,000 and a $222,000 cash inflow from investing activities
Explanation:
The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.
The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.
The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.
When an asset is sold, the gain on disposals is a non cash items that will be deducted (or added where a loss was made on disposal) to the net income. The amount received from the disposal is recognized as an inflow in the investing section of the cash flow statement.
The gain/(loss) from disposal
= $222,000 - ($426,000 - $228,000)
= $24,000
The market price of a security is $25. Its expected rate of return is 12%. The risk-free rate is 4% and the market risk premium is 6.0%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Given Information:
Market price of security = $25
Expected rate = 12%
Risk-free rate = 4%
Market risk premium = 6%
Answer:
New market price of security = $15.03
Explanation:
The new market price of security can be calculated by,
P = Dividend/Expected return
Where Dividend is given by
Dividend = Market price*Expected rate
D = $25*0.12
D = 3$
Expected return is given by
Expected return = Risk-free rate + β*(market risk premium)
β can be calculated as
β = (Expected rate - Risk-free rate)/market risk premium
β = (12 - 4)/6
β = 1.33%
Since it is given that correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles, therefore, β will get doubled too because they are directly proportional.
β = 2*1.33%
β = 2.66%
So the Expected return is
Expected return = 4 + 2.66*(6)
Expected return = 19.96%
So the new market price of security is,
P = Dividend/Expected return
P = 3/0.1996
P = $15.03
Clean Tel, Inc. is considering investing in an 11-year project with annual cash inflows of $1,000,000. These cash inflows have an initial investment of $7,139,000. At what discount rate would this present value be the same as the initial investment?
a. 6%
b. 7%
c. 9%
d. 8%
Answer:
d. 8%
Explanation:
The computation of the discount rate is shown below:
Initial investment = Present value of cash inflows
where,
Initial investment is $7,139,000
And, the present value of cash inflows
= Annual cash inflows × discount rate
We assume the discount rate be X
$7,139,000 = $1,000,000 × X
So,
X = 7139000 ÷ 1000000 = 7.139
= 8%
We simply applied the above formula in order to find out the discount rate
Paney Company makes calendars. Information on cost per unit is as follows: Direct materials: $1.50 Direct labor: $1.20 Variable overhead: $0.90 Variable marketing expense: $0.40 Fixed marketing expense totaled $13,000 and fixed administrative expense totaled $35,000. The price per calendar is $10. What is the break-even point in units?
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 8,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs:
Direct materials $1.50
Direct labor 1.20
Variable overhead 0.90
Variable marketing expense 0.40
Total variable costs= 4
Fixed costs:
The fixed marketing expense totaled $13,000
The fixed administrative expense totaled $35,000.
Total fixed costs= $48,000
The price per calendar is $10.
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 48,000/ (10 - 4)
Break-even point in units= 8,000 units

Which of the three product models should be produced first of management incorporates a short-run profit maximizing strategy?
Answer:
The large application should be produced first by management in order to incorporate short run profit maximizing strategy.
Explanation:
In order to maximize profit in the short run by management, we need to calculate the unit profit per machine hour for each appliances. Using the following formulae, as shown below:
Unit Profit / Machine-hours per unit = Unit Profit per Machine hour
Small Application
40 / 20 = $2 per machine hour
Medium Application
115 / 40 = $2.875 per machine hour
Large Application
340 / 100 = $3.4 per machine hour
As per the above calculation the large application gives the highest profit per machine hour so should be produced first. Afterwards if any machine hour is left then medium application should be produced second and finally, small application third.
A machine can be purchased for $140,000 and used for five years, yielding the following net incomes. In projecting net incomes, straight-line depreciation is applied using a five-year life and a zero salvage value. Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Net income $ 9,500 $ 23,500 $ 64,000 $ 35,500 $ 94,000 Compute the machine’s payback period (ignore taxes). (Round your intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places and round payback period answer to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
Payback is 4.08 years
Explanation:
The payback period is the number of years it take an initial investment outlay to repay itself.
When an even amount of cash flow is involved,the payback period is simply the initial investment divided by annual cash inflow.
However,an uneven cash flow situation like this is better handled using an excel approach where the payback year is the year prior to the year in which the cumulative cash inflow becomes positive plus a a fraction of the year tha follows as shown in the attached
Nickel Inc. purchased a tract of land as a possible future plant site in 2013. Valuable sulfur deposits were discovered on the land in March of 2018 and the company immediately began explorations on its property. In December of 2018, after incurring $800,000 in exploration costs, which were accumulated in an expense account, Nickel Inc. had the sulfur deposits appraised at $4,500,000 which is more than the value of the land. What should the company do to record the discovery of the deposits
Answer:
Debit $ 800,000 to the Asset Account.
Explanation:
With the help of successful efforts process we will find the solution of the given problem .The successful efforts process stated that,if the company are upgrading only those expenses or the cost that are involved with the discovery of oil and the gas then reserves are identified.
The successful efforts process stated that when the cost of exploration is achieved then the cost of the exploration is capitalized .So the sulfur reserves were identified therefore $800,000 in exploration expenses would be debited to the Asset Account.Dancey, Reese, Newman, and Jahn were partners who shared profits and losses on a 4:2:2:2 basis, respectively. They were beginning to liquidate their business. At the start of the process, Capital account balances were as follows:

Explanation:
-The first available $16,000 would go to Newman. The next $12,000 would go $8,000 to Dancey and $4,000 to Newman. The following $32,000 would be shared by Dancey, Reese and Newman. The total distribution would be $60,000 before all four partners share any further payments in their profit and loss sharing ratios First eliminate lowest value
J = $24,000 - $24,000 = 0
D = $72,000 - $48,000 = $24,000 - $16,000 = $8,000 - $8,000 = 0
R = $32,000 - $24,000 = $8,000 – $8,000 = 0
N = $52,000 - $24,000 = $28,000 – $8,000 = $20,000 – $4,000 = $16,000.

Arlington Company is constructing a building. Construction began on January 1 and was completed on December 31. Expenditures were $2,400,000 on March 1, $1,980,000 on June 1, and $3,000,000 on December 31. Arlington Company borrowed $1,200,000 on January 1 on a 5-year, 12% note to help finance construction of the building. In addition, the company had outstanding all year a 10%, 3-year, $2,400,000 note payable and an 11%, 4-year, $4,500,000 note payable. What is the weighted-average interest rate used for interest capitalization purposes
Answer:
10.65%
Explanation:
The computation of weighted-average interest rate is shown below:-
3- year note payable $240,000
($2,400,000 × 10%)
4 - year note payable $495,000
($4,500,000 × 11%)
Total interest $735,000
Weighted interest rate = Total interest ÷ (3 year note payable + 4 year note payable) × 100
= $735,000 ÷ ($2,400,000 + $4,500,000) × 100
= $735,000 ÷ $6,900,000 × 100
= 10.65%
Therefore for computing the weighted-average interest rate we simply applied the above formula.
Mike Derr and Mark Finger form a partnership by combining assets of their separate businesses. The following balance sheet is from Derr's sole proprietorship. The market value of Derr's equipment is $5,000 and the market value of land is $8,000. Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities Cash $ 1,000 Accounts payable $ 4,500 Supplies 3,000 Notes payable 3,100 Equipment $ 11,000 Total liabilities 7,600 Accumulated depreciation—Equip. (9,000 ) 2,000 Equity Land 4,000 M. Derr, Capital 2,400 Total assets $ 10,000 Total liabilities and equity $ 10,000 Prepare the partnership’s journal entry to record Derr’s investment.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, journal entry for the given data are as follows:
Cash A/c Dr. $1,000
Supplies A/c Dr. $3,000
Land A/c Dr. $8,000
Equipment A/c Dr. $5,000
To A/c Payable A/c $4,500
To Notes payable A/c $3,100
To M. Derr capital A/c $9,400 ($1000+$3000+$8000+$5000-$4500-$3100)
(Being Derr's investment is recorded)
Final answer:
To record Mike Derr's investment in the partnership with Mark Finger, adjust the equipment and land to their market values, remove accumulated depreciation, and prepare a journal entry with debits for assets added and credits for liabilities assumed and capital attributed.
Explanation:
When forming a partnership, the assets contributed by the partners must be recorded at their agreed-upon market value. In the case of Mike Derr's investment in the partnership with Mark Finger, we need to adjust the equipment and land values based on the market values provided and eliminate the accumulated depreciation on the equipment. Here is the journal entry for Derr's investment:
Cash $1,000Supplies $3,000Equipment $5,000 (market value, since the historical cost and accumulated depreciation are not relevant)Land $8,000 (market value)
These are debits to the new partnership's asset accounts. The credits to balance the entry will be:
Accounts Payable $4,500 (liability assumed by the partnership)Notes Payable $3,100 (liability assumed by the partnership)M. Derr, Capital $9,400 (calculated as total debits minus total credits already listed)
The entry records the assets Mike Derr is contributing to the partnership at their market value and the liabilities that the partnership is assuming.
The company has a capital structure that consists of 50% debt and 50% common stock the company’s CFO has obtained the following information: The yield to maturity on the company’s bonds is 7% The coupon rate on the company’s bonds is 5% The next expected dividend is expected to be $7.00 The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% per year The stock price is currently $75 per share The tax rate is 35% What is the WACC? brainly
Answer:
9.44%
Explanation:
Market price = Next dividend/(return on equity - growth rate)
Therefore, we have:
$75 = $7 / (Return on equity - 5%)
(Return on equity - 5%) * $75 = $7
(Return on equity * $75) - (75$ * 5%) = $7
(Return on equity * $75) - $3.75 = $7
(Return on equity * $75) = $7 + $3.75
Return on equity = $10.75 / $75 = 0.1433, or 14.33%
WACC = (50% * 14.33%) + [(50% * 7% * (100% - 35%)] = 9.44%
Marissa, a product manager, thinks her company's InstaCup coffee maker is currently in the growth stage of the product life cycle. If so, the profits for the InstaCup coffee maker ___ and the number of competitors ____. a. are declining; is growing b. are negative; is growing c. have peaked; is declining d. are increasing; is growing e. are declining; is declining
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
A Product Life Cycle is a cycle of growth or decline that a product goes through in a market. The cycle defines the business and sales measures of the product. The cycle is divided into four stages: Introduction, Growth, Maturity, and Decline.
The stage at which Merissa's company InstaCup Coffee is the Maturity Stage.
In the stage, the growth of the sales reaches its highest peak while the product reaches its maximum. At this stage, while the product reaches it peak the competition also begins to increase. The profits of Marissa's InstaCup coffee maker are increasing as well as the number of competitors.
So, from the given options the correct one is D.
In the growth stage of the product life cycle, the profits for the InstaCup coffee maker are increasing, and the number of competitors is growing.
Explanation:Considering that Marissa, a product manager, believes her company's InstaCup coffee maker is currently in the growth stage of the product life cycle, the profits for the InstaCup coffee maker should be increasing, and the number of competitors in the market is likely growing. During the growth stage, a product typically experiences rapid sales growth, increasing market acceptance, and expanding profits as more consumers are aware of and are willing to purchase the product. Additionally, seeing the success of the product, more competitors are enticed to enter the market with similar offerings. Hence, the correct answer to her statement is 'd. are increasing; is growing'.

Dorglass Incorporated reported the following information about the production and sale of its only product during the first month of operations: Selling price per unit $225 Sales $360,000 Direct materials used $176,000 Direct labor $100,000 Variable factory overhead $44,000 Fixed factory overhead $80,000 Variable selling and administrative expenses $20,000 Fixed selling and administrative expenses $10,000 Ending inventory, Direct Materials 0 Ending inventory, Work-in-process 0 Ending inventory, Finished Goods 400 units Under Variable Costing, the Product (Inventoriable) Cost per unit is ________. A. $225 B. $160 C. $200 D. $170
Answer:
B. $160
Explanation:
For computing the product cost per unit first we have to find out the total number of units which is
= $360,000 ÷ $225 + 400 units
= 1,600 units + 400 units
= 2,000 units
Now the product cost per unit is
= (Direct material used + direct labor + variable factory overhead) ÷ ( total units)
= ($176,000 + $100,000 + $44,000) ÷ (2,000 units)
= ($320,000) ÷ (2,000 units)
= $160
You are considering investing $1,000 in a T-bill that pays 0.05 and a risky portfolio, P, constructed with two risky securities, X and Y. The weights of X and Y in P are 0.60 and 0.40, respectively. X has an expected rate of return of 0.14 and variance of 0.01, and Y has an expected rate of return of 0.10 and a variance of 0.0081. What would be the dollar value of your positions in X, Y, and the T-bills, respectively, if you decide to hold a portfolio that has an expected outcome of $1,120? Group of answer choices a.$568; $54; b.$378 $108; c.$514; $378 d.$378; $54; e.$568 $568; f.$378; $54
Answer:
c)$568; $378; $54
Explanation:
($1,120 - $1,000)/$1,000 = 12%
(0.6)14% + (0.4)10% = 12.4%
12% = w5% + 12.4%(1 - w)
w = .054
1-w = .946
w = 0.054($1,000)
= $54 (T-bills)
1 - w = 1 - 0.054 = 0.946
0.946($1,000) = $946
$946 x 0.6 = $568 in X
$946 x 0.4 = $378 in Y.
Final answer:
To achieve an expected outcome of $1,120, invest $672 in X, $448 in Y, and $0 in T-bills.
Explanation:
The expected outcome of $1,120 can be achieved by investing in a T-bill, risky securities X and Y.
The dollar value of positions in X, Y, and T-bills would be $378, $54, and $688, respectively.
Calculations:
X position = $1,120 * 0.60 = $672
Y position = $1,120 * 0.40 = $448
T-bill position = $1,120 - $672 - $448 = $0
The following information is provided for each division. Investment Center Net Income Average Assets Cameras and camcorders $ 4,500,000 $ 20,000,000 Phones and communications 1,500,000 12,500,000 Computers and accessories 800,000 10,000,000 Assume a target income of 12% of average invested assets. Required: Compute residual income for each division. (Enter losses with a minus sign.)
Answer:
Cameras & Camcorders = $2,100,000
Phones & Communication = 0
Computers &Accessories = -$400,000
Explanation:
Computation of the given data are as follow:-
Target Income = Average Assets × Target Income Rate of Average Invested Assets
Cameras & Camcorders = $20,000,000 × 12÷100 = $2,400,000
Phones &Communication = $12,500,000 × 12÷100 = $1,500,000
Computers &Accessories = $10,000,000 × 12÷100 = $1,200,000
Residual Income = Net Income - Target Income
Cameras & Camcorders = $4,500,000 - $2,400,000 = $2,100,000
Phones & Communication = $1,500,000 - $1,500,000 = 0
Computers &Accessories = $800,000 - $1,200,000 = -$400,000
Final answer:
Residual income is calculated by subtracting the target income from the net income of each division. For Cameras and Camcorders, the residual income is $2,100,000. Phones and Communications breaks even, and Computers and Accessories has a negative residual income of -$400,000.
Explanation:
Calculating Residual Income
To calculate the residual income for each division, we first determine the target income by applying the target return rate (which is 12%) to the average invested assets. The residual income is then computed by subtracting this target income from the net income of each division.
For the Cameras and Camcorders division:
Target Income = 12% of $20,000,000 = $2,400,000
Residual Income = Net Income - Target Income
Residual Income = $4,500,000 - $2,400,000 = $2,100,000
For the Phones and Communications division:
Target Income = 12% of $12,500,000 = $1,500,000
Residual Income = Net Income - Target Income
Residual Income = $1,500,000 - $1,500,000 = $0
For the Computers and Accessories division:
Target Income = 12% of $10,000,000 = $1,200,000
Residual Income = Net Income - Target Income
Residual Income = $800,000 - $1,200,000 = -$400,000
Pramo is a large bio firm that sells genetically modified seed to farmers. They need to decide how much seed to put into a warehouse to serve demand for the next growing season. They will make one quantity decision. It costs Pramo $8 to make each kilogram (kg) of seed. They sell each kg for $45. If they have more seed than demanded by the local farmers, the remaining seed is sent overseas. Unfortunately, they only earn $3 per kg from the overseas market (but this is better than destroying the seed because it cannot be stored until next year). If demand exceeds their quantity, then the sales are lost – the farmers go to another supplier. As a forecast for demand they will use a normal distribution with a mean of 300,000 and a standard deviation of 106,000. How many kilograms should they place in this warehouse before the 2020 growing season? Choose the closest number.
Answer:
Formula to calculate optimal order quantity is as below:
Optimal order quantity = mean + (z x standard deviation)
Optimal order quantity = 300,000 +(1.18 x 106,000)
Optimal order quantity = $425,080
Prior to optimal order quantity, calculate z value as below:
Critical ratio = Profit per sold unit / (Profit per sold unit + Loss per unsold)
Profit per sold unit = $45 - $8
Profit per sold unit = $37.
Profit per unsold unit = $8 - $3
Profit per unsold unit = $5.
Now;
Critical ratio = Profit per sold unit / (Profit per sold unit + Loss per unsold)
Critical ratio = 37 / 37+5
Critical ratio = 0.8809
Thus, the equivalent probability for 0.8809 is 1.18 (from Normal distribution table) z = 1.18
Now to get optimal order quantity as below:
Optimal order quantity = mean + (z x standard deviation)
Optimal order quantity = 300,000 + (1.18 x 106,000) = 425,080 kg
Therefore, Company Pramo needs to place 425,080 kg of seeds in warehouse before 2020 growing season.
Pramo should place approximately 423,020 kg of seed in the warehouse to optimally meet demand while minimizing excess. This calculation uses the critical ratio and the newsvendor model with given costs and a normal distribution forecast. This ensures the best balance between local demand and potential overseas salvage.
To find the optimal quantity, we can use the newsvendor model. The key is to determine the service level (SL) or fill rate, which can be calculated using the critical ratio (CR). The CR is:
CR = (Selling Price - Cost) / (Selling Price - Salvage Value)Here:
Selling Price (SP) = $45Cost (C) = $8Salvage Value (SV) = $3Calculating CR:
CR = ($45 - $8) / ($45 - $3) = $37 / $42 ≈ 0.88Using a normal distribution with a mean (μ) of 300,000 and a standard deviation (σ) of 106,000, we look for the Z value in standard normal distribution tables corresponding to a cumulative probability of 0.88. This approximates to a Z value of 1.17.
Thus, the optimal order quantity (Q) is:
Q =[tex]μ + (Z * σ)[/tex] = 300,000 + (1.17 * 106,000) ≈ 423,020 kgTherefore, Pramo should place approximately 423,020 kg of seed in the warehouse before the 2020 growing season.

Blue Corporation purchases a patent from Crane Company on January 1, 2020, for $41,000. The patent has a remaining legal life of 16 years. Blue feels the patent will be useful for 10 years. Assume that at January 1, 2022, the carrying amount of the patent on Blue’s books is $32,800. In January, Blue spends $29,600 successfully defending a patent suit. Blue still feels the patent will be useful until the end of 2029. Prepare the journal entries to record the $29,600 expenditure and 2022 amortization. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
Final answer:
To record Blue Corporation's patent defense expenditure, debit the patent account and credit Cash. Then, calculate the patent's new carrying amount and record the 2022 amortization based on the remaining useful life.
Explanation:
When Blue Corporation purchased a patent from Crane Company, it was expected to be useful for 10 years. Spending $29,600 defending the patent suit is an additional investment into the patent, which effectively increases its carrying value. The patent's amortization should reflect the revised carrying amount over the remaining useful life from the date of the legal expenditure.
The journal entry to record the legal expenditure, assuming this adds value to the patent and is not immediately expensed, would be:
Patents (or Patent defense expenditure) Dr. $29,600
Cash Cr. $29,600
Next, to calculate the amortization for the year 2022, first, we adjust the carrying amount of the patent:
Carrying amount as of January 1, 2022: $32,800
Add: Patent defense expenditure: $29,600
New carrying amount: $62,400
Then we calculate the amortization expense:
Amortization for 2022 = New carrying amount / Remaining useful life of the patent (which is 8 years from 2022 to the end of 2029)
Amortization for 2022 = $62,400 / 8 = $7,800
The journal entry to record the amortization for 2022 would be:
Amortization Expense Dr. $7,800
Accumulated Amortization - Patents Cr. $7,800
A firm's target capital structure is 40 percent debt and 60 percent common equity. Its bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for $1,000. The firm's marginal tax rate is 20 percent. The firm's policy is to use a risk premium of 4 percentage points when using the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach to find the cost of retained earnings (note that retained earnings is internally generated equity). The firm uses no preferred stock.
Required:
1. Calculate the firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC).
Answer:
The firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 13.44%
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
YTM = 12% = Pretax Cost of Debt
Cost of Equity = 12% + 4% = 6%
Therefore, to calculate the firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) we would have to use the following formula:
WACC = Weight of debt * Pretax cost of debt * (1 - Tax) + Weight of equity * Cost of Equity
WACC = 40% * 12% * (1 - 20%) + 60% * 16%
WACC = 13.44%
BBBC is considering a similar mail campaign in the Midwest where it has data for 50,000 customers. Such mailings typically promote several books. The allocated cost of the mailing is $0.65/addressee (including postage) for the art book, and the book costs $15 to purchase and mail. The company allocates overhead to each book at 45% of cost. The selling price of the book is $31.95. Based on the model, which customers should Bookbinders target? How much more profit would you expect the company to generate using these models as compare to sending the mail offer to the entire list.
Final answer:
Bookbinders should focus on profitable customers to increase overall profit.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, Bookbinders should target the customers who are most likely to generate the highest profit. To determine this, we need to consider the cost and revenue associated with the mail campaign.
1. Calculate the cost of sending the mail offer to the entire list:
- Number of customers in the Midwest: 50,000
- Cost per addressee: $0.65
- Total cost of mailing = Number of customers * Cost per addressee = 50,000 * $0.65 = $32,500
2. Calculate the cost and revenue for each book:
- Book cost (including mailing) = $15
- Overhead cost (45% of book cost) = 45% * $15 = $6.75
- Total cost per book = Book cost + Overhead cost = $15 + $6.75 = $21.75
- Selling price of the book = $31.95
3. Calculate the profit for each book:
- Profit per book = Selling price - Total cost per book = $31.95 - $21.75 = $10.20
In summary, Bookbinders should target customers who are most likely to generate profit, but without additional information such as customer preferences or response rates, it is not possible to determine which customers to target. Additionally, the expected additional profit cannot be calculated without the response rate and conversion rate.
You are valuing a company that is projected to generate a free cash flow of $10 million next year, growing at a stable 3.0% rate in perpetuity thereafter. The company has $22 million of debt and $8.5 million of cash. Cost of capital is 10.0%. There are 50 million shares outstanding. How much is each share worth according to your valuation analysis
Answer:
$2.67 per share
Explanation:
To start with,we calculate the present worth of the company using the below formula:
present worth of the company=free cash flow*(1+g)/r-g
g is the growth rate of the free cash flow which is 3.0%
r is the cost of capital of 10%
present worth=$10 million*(1+3%)/10%-3%
=10.3/7%
=$ 147.14 million
However ,the value of total equity is computed thus:
equity=present worth+cash-debt
cash is $8.5 million
debt is $22 million
equity=$ 147.14 +$8.5-$22
equity=$133.64 million
value of each share=equity value /number of shares
number of shares is 50 million
value of each=$133.64 million/50 million=$2.67 per share
