Answer:
Accounts Receivable Turnover 8.6 times
Average collections period 42.44 days
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the average collection period for 2022 using this formula
Accounts Receivable Turnover = Sales/Average accounts receivables
Let plug in the formula
Accounts Receivable Turnover = 33,325 /[(3,400+4350)/2]
Accounts Receivable Turnover =33,325/(7,750/2)
Accounts Receivable Turnover =33,325/3875
Accounts Receivable Turnover = 8.6 times
Therefore the Accounts Receivable Turnover will be 8.6 times
B. Calculation to determine the Average collections period using this formula
Average collections period = 365/Accounts Receivable Turnover
Let plug in the formula
Average collections period= 365/8.6
Average collections period= 42.44 days
Therefore The Average collections period will be 42.44 days
A Rhode Island company produces communion wafers for churches around the country and the world. The little company produces a lot of wafers, several hundred million per year. When in production, the process produces wafers at the rate of 48 per second. During this production process the wafers must spend 5 minutes in an oven and then 10 minutes passing through a cooling tunnel.
Required:
How many wafers does the cooling tube hold on average when in production?
Answer: 28,800 wafers
Explanation:
Number of wafers held on average in cooling tube during production:
= Rate of production for one wafer * Time in cooling tube
= 48 seconds * (10 minutes * 60 secs)
= 48 * 600
= 28,800 wafers

Sheridan Company uses a periodic inventory system. Details for the inventory account for the month of January, 2020 are as follows: Units Per unit price Total Balance, 1/1/20 200 $5.00 $1000 Purchase, 1/15/20 120 5.40 648 Purchase, 1/28/20 120 5.50 660 An end of the month (1/31/20) inventory showed that 160 units were on hand. If the company uses FIFO and sells the units for $8 each, what is the gross profit for the month
Answer:
$808
Explanation:
FIFO method assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first. This means that the Cost of Goods sold will be based on earlier (old) prices.
Also, the periodic inventory system ensures that the cost of sales and the ending inventory are determined at the end of the period. For this question, the end of period is monthly.
Step 1 : Determine Number of Units Sold
Units Sold = Units available for sale - Inventory Units
= (200 + 120 + 120) - 160
= 440 - 160
= 280 units
Step 2 : Determine Cost of Sales
Cost of Sales = 200 units x $5 + 80 units x $5.40
= $1,432
Step 3 : Determine Gross Profit
Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold
= ($8 x 280 units) - $1,432
= $2,240 - $1,432
= $808
Conclusion
The gross profit for the month is $808
At the beginning of 2021, Terra Lumber Company purchased a timber tract from Boise Cantor for $2,950,000. After the timber is cleared, the land will have a residual value of $670,000. Roads to enable logging operations were constructed and completed on March 30, 2021. The cost of the roads, which have no residual value and no alternative use after the tract is cleared, was $228,000. During 2021, Terra logged 570,000 of the estimated 5.7 million board feet of timber. Required: Calculate the 2021 depletion of the timber tract and depreciation of the logging roads assuming the units-of-production method is used for both assets
Answer:
depletion of the timber tract = $228,000 and
depreciation of the logging roads = $22,800
Explanation:
Timber tract
Depletion rate = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated units
= ($2,950,000 - $670,000) ÷ 5,700,000
= $0.40
Depletion expense = Units used x Depletion rate
= 570,000 x $0.40
= $228,000
Logging Roads
Depreciation rate = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated units
= ($228,000 - $0) ÷ 5,700,000
= $0.04
Depreciation expense = Units used x Depreciation rate
= 570,000 x $0.04
= $22,800
Grib Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The predetermined overhead rates for the year are 200% of direct labor cost for Department A and 50% of direct labor cost for Department B. Job 436, started and completed during the year, was charged with the following costs: Department A Department B Direct materials $50,000 $10,000 Direct labor ? $60,000Manufacturing overhead $80,000 ?The total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 436 was:_________A) $360,000B) $390,000C) $270,000D) $480,000
Answer:
$270,000
Explanation:
Calculation of total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 436
Direct Materials
Dept A $50,000
Dept B $10,000
Direct Labor
Dept A ($80,000 x 1/2) $40,000
Dept B $60,000
Manufacturing Overheads
Dept A $80,000
Dept B ($60,000 x 50%) $30,000
Total $270,000
Therefore,
The total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 436 was $270,000.

A company normally sells it products for $20 per unit, which includes a profit margin of 25%. However, the
selling price has fallen to $15 per unit. This company's current inventory consists 200 units purchased at $16
per unit. Replacement cost has now fallen to $13 per unit. Calculate the value of inventory at the lower of
cost or market.
Answer:
$2,600
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory value is shown below:
Market value = 200 units × $16
= $3,200
And, the cost is
= 200 units × $13
= $2,600
So the lower of cost or market value would be considered
Since $2,600 would be lower so the same would be equivalent to the inventory amount
On January 1, 2019, Lightfoot Corporation issues 10%, 5-year bonds with a face value of $275,000 when the effective interest rate is 9%. Interest is to be paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Prepare calculations to prove that the selling price of the bonds is $285,880.07. Click here to access the tables to use with this exercise. Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary.
Answer:
Value of bond = Present value of coupon payments + Present value of maturity or par value
Present value of coupon payments:
Coupon is semi annual = 275,000 * 10% * 1/2
= $13,750
Interest = 9%/ 2 = 4.5%
Duration = 5 * 2 = 10 semi annual periods
Present value will be that of an annuity as this cash flow is fixed:
= 13,750 * (1 - (1 + 4.5%)⁻¹⁰) / 4.5%
= $108,799.87
Present value of par value:
= 275,000 / ( 1 + 4.5%)¹⁰
= 177,080.11
Value of bond:
= 108,799.87 + 177,080.11
= $285,879.98
= $285,880
Proven.
Difference due to rounding errors.
Vince says that the present value of $500 to be received one year from today if the interest rate is 8 percent is more than the present value of $500 to be received two years from today if the interest rate is 4 percent. Terri says that $500 saved for two years at an interest rate of 3 percent has a larger future value than $500 saved for one years at an interest rate of 6 percent. a. Both Vince and Terri are correct. b. Only Vince is correct. c. Only Terri is correct. d. Neither Vince nor Terri is correct.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
To determine if Vince is right, we have to determine the present value of the amounts
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value of $500 to be received one year from today500 / 1.08 = $462.96
Present value of $500 to be received two years from today500 / (1.04^2) = $462.28
$462.96 > $462.28 Vince is right
To determine if Terri is right, we have to determine the future value of the amounts
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
500 x (1.03)^2 = $530.45
500 x (1.06) = $530
$530.45 > $530 Terri is right
they are both correct

Explanation:
Variable Costing Calculations
Unit Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Costs
= $ 42 + $ 26 + $ 2
= $ 70
Cost of Goods Manufactured = 6,600 x $ 70 = $462,000
Opening Inventory = 290 x $ 70 = $20,300
Ending Inventory = 300 x $70 = $21,000
Absorption Costing Calculations
Unit Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Costs
= $ 42 + $ 26 + $ 2 + ($ 151,800 ÷ 6,600)
= $ 42 + $ 26 + $ 2 + $23
= $93
Cost of Goods Manufactured = 6,600 x $93 = $613,800
Opening Inventory = 290 x $93 = $26,970
Ending Inventory = 300 x $93 = $27,900
Jamison Company purchased the assets of Booker Company at an auction for $5,600,000. An independent appraisal of the fair value of the assets is listed below: Land $1,900,000 Building 2,800,000 Equipment 2,100,000 Trucks 3,400,000 Assuming Jamison allocates the purchase price on the basis of the relative fair values, what amount would be allocated to the Trucks?
Answer:
$1,866,667
Explanation:
Express the Fair Value of Truck as a parentage of Total Fair Value and multiply by Total Purchase Price
Fair Value of Truck = $3,400,000
Total Fair Value = $1,900,000 + $2,800,000 + $2,100,000 + $3,400,000 = $10,200,000
Cost of Truck = $3,400,000 / $10,200,000 x $5,600,000 = $1,866,667
The amount that would be allocated to the Trucks is $1,866,667

Analyzing the information about the issue, it is correct to say that the multinational Yoyodyne is using the crowdsourcing model, which is a practice of recruiting volunteers to generate new ideas. This practice can confer many advantages for organizations, such as problem solving and innovation from a new perspective and at a lower cost, which can contribute to the success of an organizational campaign. Another advantage of the application of crowdsourcing is the engagement of your target audience, who feel part of an important project and increase their perception of the brand, generating greater loyalty and satisfaction.
Suppose that Spain and Switzerland both produce beer and wine. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 brarrels of beer while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 barrels of beer.
By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that ____ has a comparative advantage int he production of wine and ___ has a comparative advantage in the production of beer.
Suppose that Spain and Switzerland consider trading wine and beer with each other. Spain can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives mroe that ___ of beer for each bottle of wine it exports to Switzerland. Similarly, Switzerland can gain from trade as long as it receives more than ___ of wine for each barrel of beer it exports to Spain.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the folloiwing terms of trade ( that is, price of wine in terms of beer) would allow both Switzerland and Spain to gain from trade?
a. 6 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
b. 3 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
c. 9 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
d. 18 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
Answer:
Spain has a comparative advantage in producing wine. While, Switzerland has a comparative advantage in Beer.
Explanation:
Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 barrels of beer while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 barrels of beer.
Spain has a lower opportunity cost of producing wine. Thus, we can say that Spain has a comparative advantage in producing wine.
Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of beer is 1/4 barrels of wine while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of beer is 1/10 barrels of wine.
Switzerland has a lower opportunity cost of producing beer. Thus, we can say that Switzerland has a comparative advantage in producing beer.
Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 barrels of beer. Thus, it can import more than 4 barrels of beer for each bottle of wine it produces and export to Switzerland. Thus, Spain can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 4 barrels of beer for each bottle of wine it exports to Switzerland.
Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of beer is 1/10 barrels of wine. Thus, it can import more than 1/10 barrels of wine for each bottle of beer it produces and export to Spain. Thus, Switzerland can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 1/10 barrels of wine for each bottle of beer it exports to Spain.
The price of wine in terms of beer must be between 4 and 10. So it can be
either 6 barrels of beer per bottle of wine or 9 barrels of beer per bottle of wine.
The Carter Corporation makes products A and B in a joint process from a single input, R. During a typical production run, 50,000 units of R yield 20,000 units of A and 30,000 units of B at the split-off point. Joint production costs total $90,000 per production run. The unit selling price for A is $4.00 and for B is $3.80 at the split-off point. However, B can be processed further at a total cost of $60,000 and then sold for $7.00 per unit. In a decision between selling B at the split-off point or processing B further, which of the following items is not relevant:a. $10,000) per production run b. $96,000 per production run c. ($42,000) per production run d. $36,000 per production run
Answer: $54,000 per production run
Explanation:
As we are dealing with the decision of whether or not to process the good further, the irrelevant cost would be the cost of producing product B from input R.
This is because this cost has already been incurred to produce product B and so is a sunk cost. Sunk costs are irrelevant to the decision to process further.
30,000 units of B were made from 90,000 units R so the cost of B is:
= 30,000 / 50,000 * 90,000
= $54,000
The options here are probably for a variant of this question.

Ivan Knobel holds a well-diversified portfolio that has an expected return of 11.0% and a beta of 1.20. He is in the process of buying 1,000 shares of Syngine Corp at $10 a share and adding it to his portfolio. Syngine has an expected return of 13.0% and a beta of 1.50. The total value of Ivan's current portfolio is $90,000. What will the expected return and beta on the portfolio be after the purchase of the Syngine stock? a. 11.76%; 1.29 b. 10.64%; 1.17 c. 12.97%; 1.42 d. 12.35%; 1.36 e. 11.20%; 1.23
Answer:
e. 11.20%; 1.23
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return and the beta is shown below
For expected return
= ($10,000 ÷ ($10,000 + $90,000) × 13%) + (0.9 × 11%)
= ($10,000 ÷ $100,000 × 13%) + (0.9 × 11%)
= (0.1 × 13%) + (0.9 × 11%)
= 11.20%
And, the beta is
= ($10,000 ÷ 100,000 × 1.50) + ($90,000 ÷ 100,000 × 1.20 )
= 1.23

A coffee manufacturer is interested in whether the mean daily consumption of regular-coffee drinkers is less than that of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers. A random sample of 50 regular-coffee drinkers showed a mean of 4.35 cups per day. A sample of 40 decaffeinated-coffee drinkers showed a mean of 5.12 cups per day. Assume the population standard deviation for those drinking regular coffee is 1.20 cups per day and 1.36 cups per day for those drinking decaffeinated coffee. Perform an appropriate test at the 1% level of significance. Use the critical value approach.Compute the p-value.
Answer:
The P-Value ≅0 (zero).
Explanation:
From the given data we have
Regular coffee drinkers sample size = n1 = 50
Decaffeinated-coffee drinkers sample size = n2= 40
Regular coffee drinkers sample mean= x1 = 4.35
Decaffeinated-coffee drinkers sample mean = x2= 5.12
Regular coffee drinkers population standard deviation = σ1 = 1.2
Decaffeinated-coffee drinkers population standard deviation = σ2= 1.36
1) Formulate null and alternate hypothesis
H0: u1≥ u2 Ha: u1 < u2
The null hypothesis is that the mean of the regular coffee drinkers is greater or equal to the mean of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers
against the claim
the mean daily consumption of regular-coffee drinkers is less than that of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers.
2) The test statistic is
z= x1-x2/ sqrt( σ1 ²/n1 + σ2²/n2)
Putting the values
z = 4.35- 5.12/ sqrt( 1.44/50 + 1.8496/40)
z= -5.44
3) The significance level is 0.01
The critical region is Z < -2.33
4) Since the calculated value of z= -5.44 is less than the z ∝= -2.33 we reject H0.
5) the P-value can be calculated using the calculator.
The P-Value is < 0.00001.
P= 0
Which means that the claim is accepted that the mean of the regular coffee drinkers is less than the mean of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers.

I tell you that if you rake all the leaves in my yard, I will show up to Business Law class next week. You immediately come over and start raking the leaves. Halfway through the job you decide to leave to do some extra Business Law reading for fun. I run after you and say, "you didn’t finish, I will sue you for this!" Your best defense is:
Answer: d. There was no valid consideration
Explanation:
Valid consideration is a clause in contract law that states that the contract cannot be valid if both sides did not make a promise to fulfil some duty to each other.
You made a promise that you would come to Business Law class if I raked the yard, however, I never made a promise that I would rake the yard if you came to class. There was therefore no valid consideration.
Chris Ellis newsstand, just outside the Smithsonian subway station in Washington, DC, usually sells 120 copies of the Washington Post each day. Chris believes the sale of the Post is normally distributed, with a standard deviation of 15 papers. He pays 60 cents for each paper, which sells for $1.25. The Post gives him a 30-cent credit for each unsold paper. According to this given information optimal stocking out probability is:_______
Answer:
31.58%
Explanation:
We have the following information
Daily number = 120
Standard deviation = 15
Amount paid = 60 cents = 0.60dollars
What he gets for the unsold = 0.30 dollars
Undercoverage = Cu = 1.25-0.60 = 0.65
Over coverage = Co = 0.60 - 0.30 = 0.30
In stock probability = Cu/Cu + Co
= 0.65/0.65+0.30
= 0.65/0.95
= 0.6842
The optimal stocking out probability = 1- 0.6842
= 0.3158
= 31.58%
You are evaluating investments in U.S. equities and Mexican equities. Your stock analysts anticipate that U.S. equities will appreciate 9% over the next year. Mexican equities are expected to rise by 15%. Your foreign exchange analyst expects the exchange rate for Mexican pesos, MP, to change from $0.14286/MP to $0.142015/MP. In U.S. dollar terms, what rate of return do you expect to earn on your Mexican equity investment
Answer:
14.32%
Explanation:
We have the investment sum of 100 dollars
We convert to mexican pesos
100x0.14286
= 700 MP
700 mexican pesos invested on equities gets 25% return
Redeemable amount after a year = 700 x (1+15%)
= 805
After a year money gotten back in dollars
805 x 0.142015
= 114.32 dollars
Net return = 114.32 - 100 = 14.32
Expressed in percent = 14.32%
Suppose the price is $6 per sheet of plywood. Suppose the price falls to $4 per sheet of plywood.How much of the increase in consumer surplus was additional consumer surplus for the people who would have bought plywood at $6 anyway.
Answer:
"$2,500" is the appropriate answer.
Explanation:
The question given seems to be incomplete. Below there is a attachment of full question is provided.
The given values are:
Plywood's price,
= $6 per sheet
Price falls,
= $4
Now,
At price $6, the consumer surplus will be:
= [tex]0.5\times 1000\times (10-6)[/tex]
= [tex]0.5\times 1000\times 4[/tex]
= [tex]2,000[/tex] ($)
When price falls, the consumer surplus will be:
= [tex]0.5\times 1500\times (10-4)[/tex]
= [tex]0.5\times 1500\times 6[/tex]
= [tex]4,500[/tex] ($)
Hence,
The increase in consumer surplus will be:
= [tex]4500-2000[/tex]
= [tex]2,500[/tex] ($)
