Leonard, a company that manufactures explosionproof motors, is considering two alternatives for expanding its international export capacity. Option 1 requires equipment purchases of $900,000 now and $560,000 two years from now, with annual M&O costs of $79,000 in years 1 through 10. Option 2 involves subcontracting some of the production at costs of $280,000 per year beginning now through the end of year 10. Neither option will have a significant salvage value.
Required:
Use a present worth analysis to determine which option is more attractive at the company’s MARR of 20% per year. (Note: Check out the spreadsheet exercises for new options that Leonard has been offered recently.)
Answer:
Since the total present value of Option 2 of – $1,453,892 is lower than the total present value of Option 1 of – $1,620,094, it implies that Option 2 costs less and more attractive at the company’s MARR of 20% per year than Option 1. Therefore, Option 2 should be selected.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the total present values (in bold red color) of the two alternatives for expanding international export capacity.
Present worth can be described as an equivalence method of analysis in which the cash flows of an investment or a project are discounted to a single present value.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Total present value of Option 1 = – $1,620,094
Total present value of Option 2 = – $1,453,892
Since the total present value of Option 2 of – $1,453,892 is lower than the total present value of Option 1 of – $1,620,094, it implies that Option 2 costs less and more attractive at the company’s MARR of 20% per year than Option 1. Therefore, Option 2 should be selected.

Answer:
C) conceptual.
Explanation:
Conceptual skills are essential in managers of large companies, such as that of the multinational Nike.
This ability means that the manager has a vision of the organization as an integrated system, where each part has its relevance in the organizational whole and must be considered in the processing, evaluation and planning of the strategies that will lead to organizational success.

Acute Company manufactures a single product. On December 31, 2014, it adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method. The inventory on that date using the dollar-value LIFO inventory method was determined to be $300,000. Inventory data for succeeding years follow:
Year Ended December 31 Inventory at Respective Year-End Prices Relevant Price Index (Base Year 2014)
2015 $363,000 1.10
2016 420,000 1.20
2017 430,000 1.25
Required:
Compute the inventory amounts at December 31, 2015, 2016, and 2017, using the dollar-value LIFO inventory method for each year.
Answer:
Acute Company
Year Ended December 31 Inventory at
Respective Year-End Prices Relevant Price Index Dollar-value LIFO
2015 $363,000 1.10 $330,000
2016 420,000 1.20 350,000
2017 430,000 1.25 344,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Year Ended December 31 Inventory at Respective Year-End Prices Relevant Price Index (Base Year 2014)
Year Year-End Prices Price Index
2015 $363,000 1.10
2016 420,000 1.20
2017 430,000 1.25
Dollar-value LIFO:
2015 = $363,000/1.10 = $330,000
2016 = $420,000/1.20 = $350,000
2017 = $430,000/1.25 = $344,000
b) The implication is that the respective year-end prices are re-calculated using the 2014 base year index. This prunes the effect of inflation on the most recent prices when compared to the base year of 2014. It makes the ending inventories for the years to be comparable since the inflation-influenced cause has been removed.

Kim is trying to decide whether she can afford a loan she needs in order to go to chiropractic school. Right now Kim is living at home and works in a shoe store, earning a gross income of $1,760 per month. Her employer deducts $199 for taxes from her monthly pay. Kim also pays $189 on several credit card debts each month. The loan she needs for chiropractic school will cost an additional $172 per month. Help Kim make her decision by calculating her debt payments-to-income ratio with and without the college loan.
Required:
a. Carl’s house payment is $1,640 per month and his car payment is $482 per month. If Carl's take-home pay is $3,250 per month, what percentage does Carl spend on his home and car?
b. Suppose that your monthly net income is $2,850. Your monthly debt payments include your student loan payment and a gas credit card. They total $1,140. What is your debt payments-to-income ratio?
Answer:
1. Kim:
Debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan
= 23%
2. Carl:
Percentage spent on home and car
= 65.3%
3. Debt payment to income ratio
= 40%
Explanation:
Kim's Data and Calculations:
Gross income = $1,760
Income taxes -199
After Tax Income $1,561 per month
Credit card debts = $189 per month
School loan = $172 per month
Total Debt payments = $361
Debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan
= $361/$1,561 = 23%
Carl:
House payment = $1,640
Car payment = $482
Total payments = $2,122
Take-home pay = $3,250
Percentage spent on home and car = 65.3% ($2,122/$3,250 * 100)
3. My monthly net income = $2,850
Monthly debt payments = $1,140
Debt payment to income ratio
= $1,140/$2,850 * 100
= 0.4
= 40%
Midland Petroleum is holding a stockholders’ meeting next month. Ms. Ramsey is the president of the company and has the support of the existing board of directors. All 12 members of the board are up for reelection. Mr. Clark is a dissident stockholder. He controls proxies for 42,001 shares. Ms. Ramsey and her friends on the board control 52,001 shares. Other stockholders, whose loyalties are unknown, will be voting the remaining 24,998 shares. The company uses cumulative voting.
Required:
a. How many directors can Mr. Clark be sure of electing?
b. How many can Ms Rmasey be sure of electing
c. How many votes could clark have if he had all the uncommitted votes
d. Does that give him control?
e. If nine directors were to be elected, and Ms. Ramsey and her friends had 70,001 shares and Mr. Clark had 48,001 shares plus half the uncommitted votes, how many directors could Mr. Clark elect?
Answer:
Midland Petroleum
a. Mr. Clark can be sure of electing = 4 directors
b. Ms Ramsey can be sure of electing = 5 directors
c. If Mr. Clark had all the uncommitted votes, he can elect = 7 directors
d. With 7 directors, he has control.
e. Mr. Clark can elect (60,50/143,000 * 9) = 4 directors.
Explanation:
Board members = 12
Mr. Clark control = 42,001 shares or 35.295%
Ms. Ramsey control = 52,001 shares or 43.698%
Undecided shareholders = 24,998 shares or 21.01%
Total shareholding = 119,000 shares or 100%
Mr. Clark can elect = 35.295% of directors = 4
Ms. Ramsey can elect = 43.698% of directors = 5
Other shareholders can elect = 21.01% of directors = 3
New shareholding:
Ms. Ramsey and friends = 70,001 shares
Mr. Clark and half uncommitted votes = 60,500 (48,001 + 12,499)
Half of the other uncommitted votes = 12,499
Total votes = 143,000
Mr. Clark can elect (60,50/143,000 * 9) = 4 directors.
This activity is important because any business that offers multiple product lines to multiple market segments is faced with the task of making the product/market decisions and prioritizing those decisions. Products and market segments that are growing quickly and are very profitable should get more attention and resources than a product and market segment that does not show as much potential.
Once a marketing manager creates a market-product grid, they must select which segments to target. To do this, the marketing manager should use several criteria in assessing the different segments. Those criteria include: market size, expected growth, competitive position, cost of reaching the segment, and the compatibility with the organization's objectives and resources.
The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate your understanding of the market-product development process by analyzing a gift shop's markets and products.
Read the case below and then answer the questions that follow as you consider its markets and product offerings.
A small local gift shop recently marked its 25th anniversary of being in business. Over that time, the owners have continually changed the products sold in its store to reflect changes in the market. From the early days of selling small gift-type items such as figurines and collectibles, the store now offers a more eclectic mix of merchandise that includes Vera Bradley purses and inexpensive jewelry, as well as items that could be classified as "gift-type" products and merchandise that is best described as "collectibles."
However, the demographics of the store's market, as well as the needs of that market, seem to be changing. There has been an influx of younger customers (20s and 30s) into the area, which has brought the average age of the area down by 9.8 years. This rapidly growing segment doesn't seem interested in buying the same collectibles that their parents bought. Many older residents (60s and 70s) have been leaving the area for retirement. The older customers are still buying the collectibles, but are also buying gifts for children and grandchildren for holidays and special occasions. Indeed, while sales of merchandise aimed at the younger customers have grown 30 percent, sales to the older crowd have been flat. And the younger group has now passed the older segment in terms of the size of the population. While there are other stores in the area selling similar merchandise, this gift shop has managed to get an exclusive on the Vera Bradley line, which has been popular with the younger customers. The owners of the gift shop are considering which market segment should be the focus of their attention and limited resources. This is an especially critical decision because of the limited space in the store and the need to add fixtures for carrying some of the collectible items that are coming on the market.
Based on the limited information in the case, which market segment is larger?
a) the over-80 segment
b) all segments are the same size
c) the 60s and 70s segment
d) the 20s and 30s segment

A stock has an average expected return of 10.8 percent for the next year. The beta of the stock is 1.22. The T-Bill rate is 5% and the T-Bond rate is 3.4 %. What is the market risk premium
Answer: 4.7%
Explanation:
Expected return is calculated as:
= Risk free return + Beta ( Market risk premium)
10.8% = 5% + (1.22 × Market risk premium)
10.8% - 5% = 1.22market risk premium
5.8%/1.22 = market risk premium
Market risk premium = 0.058/1.22
Market risk premium = 0.047
Market risk premium = 4.7%
Tom Cruise Lines Inc. issued bonds five years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 20-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 13 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point as described below:
Real rate of return 4 %
Inflation premium 5
Risk premium 4
Total return 13 %
Assume that five years later the inflation premium is only 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 15 years remaining until maturity. Use Appendix B and Appendix D.
Answer:
"1143.817" is the appropriate answer.
Explanation:
According to the question:
Risk premium is:
= [tex]4+3+4[/tex]
= [tex]11 \ percent[/tex]
K = N
⇒ Bond Price = [tex]\Sigma [\frac{Coupon}{(1 + YTM)^k} ] + \frac{Per \ value}{(1 + YTM)^N}[/tex]
[tex]k = 1[/tex]
K = 15
On putting the values, we get
⇒ Bond Price = [tex]\Sigma [\frac{13\times \frac{1000}{100} }{(1 + \frac{11}{100})^k} ] + \frac{1000}{(1 + \frac{11}{100} )^{15}}[/tex]

Answer: (B) on the downward-sloping portion of its long-run average total cost curve.
Explanation:
The downward-sloping portion of a company's Long Run Average Total Cost(LRATC) curve is the part where increasing returns to scale is witnessed.
This is because the costs that are incurred by the company leads to higher proportional output thereby reducing the average cost and pulling the LRATC down.
In this scenario, the inputs doubled and the firm's level of production more than doubled which means that with outputs increasing more than costs, the Average cost is reducing and the slope is downward sloping.

1. Determination of the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.
Total variable costs $_____22,000,000
Total fixed costs $_____10,000,000
2. Determination of (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year.
Unit variable cost $_____44 ($22,000,000/500,000)
Unit contribution margin $_____50 ($94 - $44)
3. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year:
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs/Contribution per unit
= $10,000,000/$50 = 200,000 units
4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year.
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed costs/Contribution per unit
= $11,800,000/$50 = 236,000
5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year
Break-even sales (units) to achieve income target = (Fixed costs + Income target)/Contribution per unit
= ($11,800,000 + 15,000,000)/$50
= 536,000
6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant.

Bristo Corporation has sales of 1,750 units at $40 per unit. Variable expenses are 30% of the selling price. If total fixed expenses are $39,000, the degree of operating leverage is:
Answer:
1,750=$40=1,750×40=70-30÷100×39,000=58,3
Explanation:
is total cost of production can be fixed cost +variable cost
Answer:
degree of operating leverage= 4.9
Explanation:
To calculate the degree of operating leverage, we need to use the following formula:
degree of operating leverage= Total contribution margin / operating income
Total Contribution margin= 1,750*(40*0.7)= $49,000
Operating income= 49,000 - 39,000= $10,000
degree of operating leverage= 49,000/10,000
degree of operating leverage= 4.9
BensonBenson & Company is an architectural firm specializing in home remodeling for private clients and new office buildings for corporate clients. charges customers at a billing rate equal to % of the client's total job cost. A client's total job cost is a combination of (1) professional time spent on the client ( per hour cost of employing each professional) and (2) operating overhead allocated to the client's job. allocates operating overhead to jobs based on professional hours spent on the job. estimates its five professionals will incur a total of 10,000 professional hours working on client jobs during the year.
AllissaAllissa LarsonLarson hired BensonBenson to design her kitchen remodeling. A total of 35 professional hours were incurred on this job. In addition, LarsonLarson's remodeling job required one of the professionals to travel back and forth to her house for a total of 155 miles. The blueprints had to be copied four times because LarsonLarson changed the plans several times. In addition, 14 hours of secretarial time were used lining up the subcontractors for the job.
All operating costs other than professional salaries (travel reimbursements, copy costs, secretarial salaries, office lease, and soforth) can be assigned to the three activities. Total activity costs, cost drivers, and total usage of those cost drivers are estimated as follows:
Activity Total Activity Cost Cost Driver Usage Total Usage by Corporate Clients Total usage by Private Clients

Required:
a. Calculate the current indirect cost allocation rate per professional hour.
b. Calculate the total amount that would be billed to LarsonLarson given the current costing structure.
c. Calculate the activity cost allocation rates that could be used to allocate operating overhead costs to client jobs.
d. Calculate the amount that would be billed to LarsonLarson using ABC costing.
e. Which type of billing system is more fair to clients? Explain.
Answer:
Benson & Company
a. Current indirect cost allocation rate per professional hour = Total overhead divided by 10,000 professional hours
$234,000/10,000
= $23.40
b. Total amount that would be billed to Larson with the current costing structure:
= $23.40 * 35
= $819.00
c. Overhead Rates based on ABC:
Transport to clients = $0.60 ($9,000/15,000)
Blueprint copying = $35.00 ($35,000/1,000)
Office support = $38.00 ($190,000/5,000)
d. Larson's Job based on ABC:
Transport to clients = $93 ($0.60 * 155)
Blueprint copying = 140 ($35.00 * 4)
Office support = 532 ($38.00 * 14)
Total $765
e. With Benson Company using ABC billing system to charge Larson, the system is fairer to clients generally, because it takes into consideration the volume of each activity consumed per client. Customers are charged based on actual activities consumed, and not based on some arbitrary figures. It is more reflective of the cost structure of the business and offers the best quality service to customers because price is determined by volume of activities.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Professional hours spent on Larson job = 35 hours
Travel = 155 miles
Blueprints copies = 4
Secretarial time = 14 hours
Other operating costs:

Comfort chair company manufacturers a standard recliner. During February, the firm's Assembly Department started production of 73,000 chairs. During the month, the firm completed 78,000 chairs, and transferred them to the Finishing Department. The firm ended the month with 10,000 chairs in ending inventory. All direct materials costs are added at the beginning of the production cycle and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. The FIFO method of process costing is used by Comfort. Beginning work in process was 30% complete as to conversion costs, while ending work in process was 80% complete as to conversion costs.
Beginning inventory:
DIrect materials $24,000
Conversion costs $35,000
Manufacturing costs added during the accounting period:
Direct materials $168,000
Conversion costs $278,000
1. What were the equivalent units for conversion costs during February? (HINT: The answer is 81,500, but I need work to support this)
2. What is the amount of direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process inventory at the end of February? (HINT: The answer is $23,000, but I need work to support this)
Answer:
1) total equivalent units:
materials = 73,000
conversion = 81,500
2) costs assigned to ending WIP:
materials = $23,013.70
conversion = $27,288.32
Explanation:
beginning WIP 78,000 + 10,000 - 73,000 = 15,000
materials = 100% (0 added during the period)
conversion = 30% (70% added during the period, 10,500 EU)
units started 73,000
units finished 78,000
units started and finished = 63,000
ending WIP 10,000
materials = 100%
conversion = 80%, 8,000 EU
Beginning WIP
Materials $24,000
Conversion $35,000
Costs added during the period:
Materials $168,000
Conversion $278,000
total equivalent units:
materials = 73,000
conversion = 10,500 + 63,000 + 8,000 = 81,500
cost per EU:
Materials = $168,000 / 73,000 = $2.30137
Conversion = $278,000 / 81,500 = $3.41104
costs assigned to ending WIP:
materials = 10,000 x $2.30137 = $23,013.70
conversion = 8,000 x $3.41104 = $27,288.32

Demarco and Janine Jackson have been married for 20 years and have four children who qualify as their dependents (Damarcus, Janine, Michael, and Candice). The couple received salary income of $100,000 and qualified business income of $10,000 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $200,000 and they sold it for $250,000. The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $16,500 of itemized deductions, and they had $3,550 withheld from their paychecks for federal taxes. They are also allowed to claim a child tax credit for each of their children. However, because Candice is 18 years of age, the Jacksons may only claim the child tax credit for other qualifying dependents for Candice. (Use the tax rate schedules.)
Comprehensive Problem 4-55 Parts-c through f
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?
Answer:
a. Taxable income = $80,000
b. Taxable income = $77,600
c. Taxable income = $80,600
Explanation:
Taxable income refers to the amount of income that is used to determine the amount of tax that will be paid to the government by an individual or firm in given year. The taxable income is arrived at after all the relevant addition and allowable deductions have been made.
The requirements are therefore answered as follows:
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
Note: See part a of the attached excel file see the effect on taxable income.
The itemized deductions total of $28,000 instead of $16,500 makes the taxable income to be $80,000.
In the attached excel file, the following calculations is used:
Qualified business income deduction = Qualified business income * Parentage of deduction allowed = $10,000 * 20% = $2,000
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.
This makes the taxable income to be equal to $77,600.
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?
Note: See part c of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.
The loss of loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets incurred by the Jacksons is capital loss.
For tax purposes, capital loss of can be deducted as a loss on tax return by tax payers with a maximum of $3,000 to be deducted per year.
Therefore, the Jacksons will deduct $3,000 as a capital loss from their tax return, and the effect of this is to reduce the taxable income by $3,000.
This makes the taxable income to be equal to $80,600.

Svetlana won $1,000,000 in a contest, to be paid in twenty $50,000 payments at yearly intervals, the first payment paid at the time of the contest. (Of course, the present value of her winnings is less than $1,000,000.) Svetlana decided to keep X each year to spend and deposit the remaining $50;000 X into an account earning an annual effective interest rate of 5%. She chose the value X to be as large as possible so that, at the moment of the 20th deposit, the account would have grown to such a size that it would provide Svetlana and her heirs at least X per year in interest forever. Find X.
Answer: 31155.5
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Money won = $1,000,000
Installments made yearly = $50,000
Interest rate = 5%
The yearly deposits made by Svetalana will be: = 500000-x
The future Value of the yearly deposits made by Svetalana will be:
= (50000-x) × (1/(1.05) + (1/(1.05)^2 .....(1/(1+0.05)^20))
= (500000-x) × 33.066
We should recall that the interest from the question is equated to x. This will be:
33.066 × (50000-x) × 0.05 =x
1.6533(50000 - x) = x
82665 - 1.6533x = x
2.6533x = 82665
x = 82665/2.6533
x = 31155.5
