Answer:
B) Rearrange the production floor.
Explanation:
First step is to calculate the manufacturing labor costs for the Current operations and new proposal
Calculation for the manufacturing labor costs for the Current operations
Current operations manufacturing labor costs =5 workers * 2,100 hours * $8.00
Current operations manufacturing labor costs = $84,000
Calculation for the manufacturing labor costs for the new proposal
New Proposal manufacturing labor costs=4.5 workers *2,000 hours * $9.00
New Proposal manufacturing labor costs = $81,000
Based on the above calculation the decisions that the management should accept is to REARRANGE THE PRODUCTION FLOOR if they want to reduce the company manufacturing labor costs reason been that the manufacturing LABOR COSTS for the current operations is $84,000 which means it is higher than the manufacturing LABOR COST for the new proposal which is $81,000
Therefore the management should REARRANGE THE PRODUCTION FLOOR because with the new proposal manufacturing labor costs will reduce.

ummary data for Mobic Inc. Job 1227, which was completed in 2021, are presented below: Bid price $ 450,000 Contract cost: 2020 (180,000 ) 2021 (195,000 ) Gross profit: 75,000 Estimated cost to complete: 12/31/2020 $ 200,000 12/31/2021 0 Assuming Mobic recognizes revenue upon project completion, what would gross profit have been in 2020 and 2021 (rounded to the nearest thousand)
Answer:
2020 = $0; 2021 = $75,000
Explanation:
Under completed contract method, all revenues and expenses are recognized upon project completion. Since Mobic Inc. recognizes revenue upon project completion, gross profit in 2020 will be $0 as there are no revenues and expenses recognized in 2020.
Since the contact is completed in 2021, the entire revenues and expenses will be recognized in 2021
Contract price = $450,000
Contract costs = $180,000 + $195,000 = $375,000
Gross profit = $450,000 - $375,000
Gross profit = $75,000
So, the entire gross profit of $75,000 will be recognized in 2021.
Assume that a company uses a standard cost system and applies overhead to production based on direct labor-hours. It provided the following information for its most recent year: Total budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year $ 300,000 Actual fixed overhead cost for the year $ 276,000 Budgeted direct labor-hours 60,000 Actual direct labor-hours 56,000 Standard direct labor-hours allowed for the actual output 57,800 What is the fixed overhead applied to production during the period
Answer:
$289,000
Explanation:
Predetermined overhead rate (Fixed) = Budgeted Fixed overhead cost / Budgeted hours
Predetermined overhead rate (Fixed) = 300,000/60,000
Predetermined overhead rate (Fixed) = $5 per hours
Applied Fixed overhead = Standard hours allowed × Predetermined overhead rate(fixed)
Applied Fixed overhead = 57,800 * $5 per hours
Applied Fixed overhead = $289,000
So, the fixed overhead applied to production during the period is $289,000

Holiday Trees Inc. is an unlevered (all-equity) firm that expects to generate an after-tax cash flow stream of $250 million next year and is expected to grow at a rate of 4% per year. The beta of the unlevered value of this free cash flow stream is 1.5. The riskless rate of interest is 6%, and the risk premium on the market portfolio is 7%. The corporate tax rate is 40%. Assume all debt is riskless. 1. What is the value of unlevered firm?2. The firm decides to lever itself to a 50% debt-to-equity ratio. Calculate WACC.3. Calculate value of the levered firm.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. Cost of equity = Risk free Rate + Beta × Market Risk Premium
= 6% + 1.5 × 7%
= 16.5%
Now Value of un Levered firm is
= After tax Cash flow year1 ÷ (Cost of Equity - Growth)
= $250 ÷ (16.5% - 4%)
= $2000
Beta levered is
= Beta Unlevered (1+ (1- Tax Rate ) × Debt ÷ Equity)
= 1.5 × (1 + (1 -40%) × 50% ÷ 100%
= 1.95
2. Cost of equity = Risk free Rate + Beta × Market Risk Premium
= 6% + 1.95 × 7%
= 19.65%
Now WACC = Weight of Equity × Cost of Equity + Weight of debt × Cost of Debt × (1 - Tax rate)
=100% ÷ 150% × 19.65% + 50% ÷ 150% × 6% × (1 - 40%)
= 14.30%
3. Debt = 1 ÷ 3 × 2000
Value of levered firm = Value Unlevered + Debt × Tax Rate
= 2000 + 2000 ÷ 3 × 40%
= $2,266.67

Profitability index for this project = 1.0124
So, the net present value of this project is $197,418
"We know that how we present data often can affect the audience’s conclusions about the data. In a recent article from Travel Weekly on the Department of Transportation’s on-time stats for airline arrivals, the argument is made that the airline industry pads its own statistics in order reap cost benefits, which may or may not be passed on to consumers. Is the reporting difference an ethical breach of confidence between the consumer and the industry?"
Answer:
The reporting difference is not an ethical breach of confidence between the consumer and the industry.
Explanation:
The information being presented is not confidential information. As a result, there is no ethical breach of confidence. Usually, such a lawsuit for breach of confidence is an action originating in common law concerning information between the airline and the consumers, when one of these parties decides to use the available confidential information for an unfair gain or advantage. This is not the case here between the airlines and the consumers of its services. Therefore, the case for breach of confidence should deal with the restriction of the dissemination of commercially viable information.
Prudential is expected to pay an annual $1.25 dividend in the coming year. Dividends are expected to grow at the rate of 4% per year. The risk free rate is 2% and the market risk premium is 5%. Prudential has a beta of 0.8. The value of the stock should be:
Answer:
$62.5
Explanation:
The value of the stock = dividend to be paid next year / required rate of return - growth rate
required rate of return = risk free rate + (risk premium x beta)
2% + (0.8 x 5%) = 6%
1.25 /6% - 4% = 1.25 / 0.06 - 0.04 = $62.5
Impa Inc. applies overhead based upon machine hours. At the beginning of 2018, Impa estimated overhead to be $400,000, machine hours to be 25,000, and direct labor hours to be 40,000. During April, Impa has 3,000 direct labor hours and 4,500 machine hours. What is the amount of overhead applied for April?
Solution :
It is given that,
Impa Inc. estimated an overhead of $ 400,00 machine hours to be 25,000 and that of direct labor hours of 40,000.
During the month of April, Impa Inc. has a 3000 direct labor hours as well as 4500 machine hours.
Therefore, the overhead applied for the month of April is
[tex]$\frac{400,000}{25,000} $[/tex] machine hours = $ 16 per machine hour
The actual machine hours in April = 4500 machine hours
Therefore the overhead applied = 4500 x 16
= $ 72,000

Accents Associates sells only one product, with a current selling price of $150 per unit. Variable costs are 30% of this selling price, and fixed costs are $19,600 per month. Management has decided to reduce the selling price to $145 per unit in an effort to increase sales. Assume that the cost of the product and fixed operating expenses are not changed by this reduction in selling price. At the current selling price of $150 per unit, the dollar volume of sales per month necessary for Accents to break-even is:
Answer:
$65,333
Explanation:
As we know,
Sales price = Variable cost + Contribution cost
Sales price = Variable cost ratio + Contribution margin ratio
100% = 30% + Contribution
Contribution = 100% - 30%
Contribution = 70%
Fixed cost = $19,600
Break even sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
Break even sales = $19,600 / 30%
Break even sales = $19,600 / 0.3
Break even sales = $65,333.

a. has increased over the past 30 years, thereby acting as a hedge against inflation.
b. has risen less than the Consumer Price Index.
c. always increases in value.
d. tends to be countercyclical, thereby acting as a hedge against the business cycle.
e. remains constant over time.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The median price of existing homes always increases in value. This is so because as the year goes on, there is an ever increasing need for shelter. Because of the fact that people procreate and more people are living, there is the certain need, or say, demand for shelter. And as a result of this, there doesn't seem to be a decline in the demand, and most likely wouldn't be anytime soon either.

Jackson's Home Cookin just paid its annual dividend of $0.65 a share. The stock has a market price of $13.00 and a beta of 1.12. The return on US Treasury bills is 2.5% and the market risk premium is 6.8%. What is the firm's cost of equity
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
The firm cost of equity is the return that is required by providers of Common Stock. This can be calculated in two ways. The first option is to use the Dividend Growth Model and the other option is to use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).
The information given in the question is not sufficient to use the Dividend Growth Model since we have not been told the growth percentage in dividends.
We will thus use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) as follows :
Cost of Equity = Return of Risk free Securities + Beta × Market Risk Premium
Therefore,
Cost of Equity = 2.5% + 1.12 × 6.8%
= 10%

If you purchase 100 shares of XYZ Corporation for $50 per share, receive a dividend check for $200, and then sell the stock for $62 per share, what will your return on the stock be
Answer:
Your return on the stock will be 28%.
Explanation:
Po = Initial price per share = $50
P1 = New price per share = $62
S = Number shares purchased = 100
D = Dividend per share = Dividend received / Number shares purchased = $200 / 100 = $2
Therefore, we have:
Stock return = ((P1 - Po) + D) / Po = (($62 - $50) + $2) / $50 = ($12 + $2) / $50 = $14 / $50 = 0.28, or 28%
Therefore, your return on the stock will be 28%.
You have $15,000 to invest and would like to create a portfolio with an expected return of 10.1 percent. You can invest in Stock K with an expected return of 8.8 percent and Stock L with an expected return of 12.4 percent. How much will you invest in Stock K
Answer:
$9,583.33
Explanation:
The computation of the amount invested in the stock K is shown below
Let us assume the amount invested in stock K be Y
So according to this, following formula should be used
The Expected return of portfolio × Amount invested = Expected return of K × Amount invested in K + Expected return of L × Amount invested in L
0.101 × $ 15,000 = 0.088 × Y + 0.124 × ( $ 15,000 - Y )
$1,515 = 0.088Y + $ 1,860 - 0.124Y
0.036Y = $ 345
Y = $ 345 ÷ 0.036
= $9,583.33

= 2,500 direct labor hours × $5 - $3,750 + $43,010
= $12,500 + $39,260
= $51,760
Hence, the cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be $51,760
