Answer:
Positive; Subsidy for
Negative; Tax on
Explanation:
An externality is the economic term that describes a cost or benefit incurred or received by a third party, over which said party has no control over its development.
When externalities result in a benefit for a certain group they are said to be positive and when it is detrimental it is said to be negative.
Taking public transportation in a crowded city is benefitial to drivers making this a positive externality. In order to encourage people to take public transportation, a subsidy for those who take transportation may be adopted.
On the other hand, people who choose to drive their own car impose a negative externality and may encourage a tax on those who drive their own car.

The following data are taken from the management accounting reports of Dulcimer Co.: Div. ADiv. BDiv. C Income from operations$1,900,000$1,450,000$1,450,000 Total service department charges1,700,0001,050,0001,100,000 If an incentive bonus is paid to the manager who achieved the highest income from operations before service department charges, it follows that a.Division C's manager is given the bonus b.Division B's manager is given the bonus c.Divisions B and C's managers divide the bonus d.Division A's manager is given the bonus
Answer:
Option D
Explanation:
In simple words, the bonus in the given question has to be paid to the managers before the service department charges expenditures which are declining the income from operations. Therefore, it is clearly evident that manager A has best performed in respect to gross revenue collection.
However, the total efficiency is particularly maintained mostly by C division manager as his net income is the highest of them all three. Hence the correct option is D.
The Widget Co. purchased all of its fixed assets three years ago for $4 million. These assets can be sold today for $2 million. The current balance sheet shows net fixed assets of $2,500,000, current liabilities of $1,375,000, and net working capital of $725,000. If all the current assets were liquidated today, the company would receive $1.9 million in cash. The book value of the total assets today is ________ and the market value of those assets is ________. $6,500,000; $3,900,000 $4,600,000; $3,125,000 $5,000,000; $3,125,000 $4,600,000; $3,900,000 $5,000,000; $3,900,000
Answer:
$4,600,000; $3,900,000
Explanation:
Book value of the asset are the recorded costs of the assets included any adjustments like depreciation or amortization. Market value is the fair value and Ne realizable value of the assets.
Total Assets = Fixed Assets + Current Assets
Total Assets = Fixed Assets + (Working capital + Current Liabilities)
Placing Value in above formula
Total Assets = $2,500,000 + ($725,000 + $1,375,000)
Total Assets = $4,600,000
Market Value = Fair value of Fixed assets + Current assets fair value
Market Value = $2,000,000 + $1,900,000 = $3,900,000
Starbuck Corporation had a net income of $250,000 and paid dividends to common stockholders of $50,000 in Year 1. The weighted average number of shares outstanding in Year 1 was 50,000 shares. Starbuck Corporation's common stock is selling for $40 per share on the New York Stock Exchange. Starbuck's dividend payout ratio for Year 1 is _____. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Answer:
20%
Explanation:
The payout ratio can either computed as dividend per share divided by earnings per share or total dividends paid to common stock holders divided by net income for the year.
using the latter formula,the payout ratio of Starbuck Corporation is computed thus:
dividend payout ratio=dividends paid/net income
dividends paid to common stock holders were $50,000
net income for Starbuck for the year was $250,000
dividend payout ratio=$50,000/$250,000=20%
The Berkel Corporation manufactures Widgets, Gizmos, and Turnbols from a joint process. June production is 5,000 widgets; 8,750 gizmos; and 10,000 turnbols. Respective per unit selling prices at splitoff are $75, $50, and $25. Joint costs up to the splitoff point are $187,500. If joint costs are allocated based upon the sales value at splitoff, what amount of joint costs will be allocated to the widgets
Answer:
Allocated join cost = $66,176.47
Explanation:
The joint cost is allocated using sales. This is done by using the proportion of sales of the total which is attributed to the sales value of widget
Total sales value of the three products=
(75 × 5,000) + ($50× 8,750) + ( $25× 10,000)= 1,062,500
Joint cost = $187,500.
Joint costs allocated to Widget
= (75 × 5,000)/1,062,500 × $187,500. = 66,176.47
Allocated join cost =$66,176.47
The selling price of imported olive oil is $20 per case. Your cost is 15 Euros per case, and the exchange rate is currently 1.25, so it takes 1.25 Euros to buy $1. Your largest customer has ordered 15,000 cases of olive oil. How much is the pretax profit for this transaction?
Answer:
$120,000
Explanation:
According to the question, the selling price (S.P) i.e. amount to be sold, of one imported olive oil case is $20 while the cost price (C.P) i.e. amount it was purchased, is €15
Looking at the currencies of both prices, they are different. To make the currencies the same, we need to convert euros (€) to dollars ($).
Based on the exchange rate of €1.25 to $1 given in the question;
€15 will be 15/1.25 = $12.
Therefore, the C.P is $12 and the S.P is $20
A customer ordered 15,000 cases of olive oil. This means that the;
1) The cost price (C.P) will be $12 × 15,000 = $180,000
2) The selling price will be $20 × 15,000 = $300,000
In order to obtain the pretax profit, we subtract the cost price (C.P) from the selling price (S.P). That is, $300,000 - $180,000 = $120,000
Teel Printing uses two measures of activity, press runs, and book set-ups, in the cost formulas in its budgets and performance reports. The cost formula for wages and salaries is $7,850 per month plus $402 per press run plus $952 per book set-up. The company expected its activity in July to be 206 press runs and 113 book set-ups, but the actual activity was 203 press runs and 112 book set-ups. The actual cost for wages and salaries in July was $196,180.
The spending variance for wages and salaries in July would be closest to
Answer:
Spending variance $100 unfavorable
Explanation:
The spending variance is the difference between the standard cost allowed for the actual activity and the actual cost of the activity
$
Standard cost allowed for the actual activity
=7,850 + (402×203) + (952×112)= 196,080
Actual cost 196,180
Spending variance 100 unfavorable
During March 2020, Toby Tool & Die Company worked on four jobs. A review of direct labor costs reveals the following summary data. Actual Standard Job Number Hours Costs Hours Costs Total Variance A257 200 $4,000 210 $4,200 $200 F A258 450 10,350 430 8,600 1,750 U A259 300 6,390 299 5,980 410 U A260 110 2,090 103 2,060 30 F Total variance $1,990 U Analysis reveals that Job A257 was a repeat job. Job A258 was a rush order that required overtime work at premium rates of pay. Job A259 required a more experienced replacement worker on one shift. Work on Job A260 was done for one day by a new trainee when a regular worker was absent. Prepare a report for the plant supervisor on direct labor cost variances for March. (Round actual rate and standard rate to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)
Answer and Explanation:
The Preparation of report for the plant supervisor on direct labor cost variances for March is attached with the help of spreadsheet.
The Formula are as shown below:-
Actual per hour = Actual costs ÷ Actual number of hours
Standard per hour = Standard costs ÷Standard number of hours
Quantity variance = (Actual hours -Standard hours) × Standard Rate
Price variance = (Actual Rate - Standard Rate) × Actual Hour
Therefore if actual hours is lesser than Standard hours it will become favorable and if actual hours is higher than standard hours it will become unfavorable. In the similar way if actual rate is higher than standard rate then it will become unfavorable on the other hand if actual rate is lesser than standard rate then it will become favorable.
Assume you are going to receive a payment of $1,000 in 5 years. You'd like to know what that cash flow would be worth in 2 years. To calculate the answer, you use the given interest rate to obtain an equivalent cash flow expressed in year 2 dollars. This is an example of calculating a...
Answer:
The multiple choices are as follows:
Group of answer choices:
A. Present Value
B. Future Value
C. Discounted Value
D. Annuity
E. Lump Sum
The correct option is C,discounted value
Explanation:
The worth of the cash flow which is $1,000 is given with reference to the worth in 5 years' terms,hence restating the cash flow to its worth in two years' time is discounting to its two years' worth.
The answer cannot be present value since the cash flow is not being discounted to today's equivalent amount.
Also,future value is not correct since future value of $1,000 is already provided in the question

Your bagel shop uses both capital and labor in the production of bagels. In this production process capital and labor are substitutes. If you install a new oven and the marginal product of capital increases, you will:
a. reduce the number of workers you employ
b. increase the number of workers you employ
c. reduce the amount of capital you are using not make any changes since you are already maximizing profit
Answer:
The answer is option A) reduce the number of workers you employ
Explanation:
Installing a new oven is capital intensive. So, for a business person to incur an additional capital cost to aid the efficiency of production, something has to give.
In this case, where capital and labor are substitutes, installing a new oven will drastically reduce the workload thereby necessitating a reduction in the number of workers.
By implication, the cost of paying wages which is a recurrent expenditure will reduce. In the long run and if the oven is maintained, it will e a very cost effective option.
Installing a new oven also suggests a marginal increment in capital.

A large bakery makes cakes for freezing and subsequent sale. The bakery can produce cakes at the rate of 484 cakes per day. The bakery sets up the cake-production operation and produces until a predetermined number (Q) have been produced. When not producing cakes, the bakery uses its personnel and facilities for producing other bakery items. The setup cost for a production run of cakes is $100. The cost of holding frozen cakes in storage is $9 per cake per year. The annual demand for frozen cakes, which is constant over time, is 54600 cakes. Assume 364 days a year and 52 weeks a year. What is the "daily" demand rate
Answer:
150
Explanation:
The computation of the daily demand rate is shown below:
Daily demand rate = Annual demand for frozen cakes ÷ total number of days in a year
= 54,600 cakes ÷ 364 days
= 150
By dividing the annual demand from the total number of days in a year we can get the daily demand rate and the same is shown above

All allocations are based on total employees. Cafeteria Services has costs of $255,000 and Maintenance has costs of $175,000 before any allocations. What amount of Maintenance total cost is allocated to the Packaging Department? (round to closest whole dollar) Employees are: Cafeteria Services 4 Maintenance 5 Assembly Department 10 Packaging Department 10
Answer:
The Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department is $87,500
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
The Total Maintenance cost is $175,000 before allocation.
Total employees of in Production Department is= 10 Assembly + 10 Packaging= 20
Hence, Total maintenance cost per employee = $175,000 / 20
Total maintenance cost per employee =$8,750
Therefore, the Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department= Total maintenance cost per employee× Employees Packaging Department
Total allocation of maintenance cost of packaging department=$ 8,750 X 10 employees= $87,500

Anderson Steel Company began 2018 with 550,000 shares of common stock outstanding. On March 31, 2018, 140,000 new shares were sold at a price of $50 per share. The market price has risen steadily since that time to a high of $55 per share at December 31. No other changes in shares occurred during 2018, and no securities are outstanding that can become common stock. However, there are two agreements with officers of the company for future issuance of common stock. Both agreements relate to compensation arrangements reached in 2017. The first agreement grants to the company president a right to 42,000 shares of stock each year the closing market price is at least $53. The agreement begins in 2019 and expires in 2022. The second agreement grants to the controller a right to 47,000 shares of stock if she is still with the firm at the end of 2026. Net income for 2018 was $5,200,000.
Required:
Compute Anderson Steel Company's basic and diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2018. (Enter your answers in thousands.)
Answer:
EPS = $7.94
diluted EPS = $7.94, since there are no diluted shares in 2018
Explanation:
January 2018 = 550,000 common stocks
March 31 = 140,000 new shares issued = 105,000 weighted stocks
net income = $5,200,000
EPS = net income / weighted common stocks = $5,200,000 / (550,000 + 105,000) = $5,200,000 / 655,000 stocks = $7.939 ≈ $7.94 per stock
there are no diluted shares since the agreement with the president of the board starts in 2019, and we are calculating the EPS for 2018. The same applies to the controller, since her agreement starts in 2026.

Accounts receivable $ 375,000 $ 300,000 $ __________ ___________ %
Inventory 780,000 600,000 ____________ ___________ %
Total assets 3,220,000 2,800,000 __________ __________ %
Answer:
75000,25%;
18000, 30%.
420000, 15%.
Explanation:
From the question above we are given the following parameters Accounts receivable for year 2017 = $ 375,000,
Inventory for the year 2017 = 780,000 and the Total assets for the year 2017 = 3,220,000.
Accounts receivable for year 2016 = $ 300,000, inventory for the year 2016 = 600,000 and the Total assets for the year 2016 = 2,800,000.
Therefore, we have the following simple arithmetic(which is subtraction between the variables in the two years) to determine the solution to the question:
(375,000 - 300,000) = 75,000 = 25%(increase).
(780,000 - 600,000) = 180,000 = 30%(Increase).
(3,220,000 - 2,800,00) = 420,000 = 15%(increase).

Your company is considering purchasing a machine for $270,000. This machine will bring revenues of $100,000 in the second year, of $150,000 in the third year, and of $75,000 in the fourth year. The machine will be worthless after the fourth year, so you will not be able to get any resale value out of it. If the interest rate is 6% per year, should you go ahead with this project?
Answer:
Yes we should go with this project because it has a positive NPV of $4,350
Explanation:
We need to calculate the net present value of the machine to decide whether to invest in the machine or not.
As per Given Data
Costs $270,000
Cash Inflows
Year 2 $100,000
Year 3 $150,000
Year 4 $75,000
Interest Rate = 6%
Net Present Value
As we know Net Present value is calculated by discounting each years cash flows using using the Weighted Average cost of Capital.
Year Cash Inflows Discount factor 13% Present values
Year 0 $(270,000) (1+6%)^-0 $(270,000)
Year 2 $100,000 (1+6%)^-2 $89,000
Year 3 $150,000 (1+6%)^-3 $125,943
Year 4 $75,000 (1+6%)^-4 $59,407
Net present value $4,350
A company needs to raise $22 million and plans to issue 20-year bonds for this purpose. The required rate of return is 7.6 percent in the current market. The company has two issue alternatives: a 7.6 percent coupon and a zero coupon bond. The company's tax rate is 34 percent. At bond maturity, how much will the company need to pay to its bondholders if it issues the coupon bonds? What if it issue the zeros? Assume semiannual compounding for both bond issues. (For simplicity's sake, assume the company can issue a partial bond.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Since the required rate of return equal to the coupon rate i.e 7.6% that means the bond issued at par
Therefore, the number of bond issued is
We assume the par value is $1,000
=$22,000,000 ÷ $1,000
= 22,000 Coupon bonds
And
Price of zero Coupon bond is
= $1,000 × (1.038)^-40
= $224.96
And, Number of coupon bond is
= 22,000,000 ÷ $224.96
= 97,795 zero Coupon bond
Now the payment made to bondholders in case of issuing the coupon bond is
= (Last Coupon payment + face value) × number of bond
= (1000 + 36) ×22,000
= $22,836,000 or 22.836 million
And in case of issuance of the zero coupon bond, the payment is
= Number of bonds × face value
= 97,795 × 1000
= 97,795,000 or 97.795 million
The time period doubles and the rate is half
Your aunt is about to retire, and she wants to sell some of her stock and buy an annuity that will provide her with income of $53,000 per year for 30 years, beginning a year from today. The going rate on such annuities is 7.25%. How much would it cost her to buy such an annuity today
Answer:
Present Value= $641,494.12
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $53,000 per year
Number of years= 30 years
Interest rate= 7.25%
First, we need to calculate the final value of the annuity:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual flow
FV= {53,000*[(1.0725^30)-1]} / 0.0725
FV= $5,237,351.32
Now, we can determine the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 5,237,351.32/ (1.0725^30)
PV= $641,494.12
The manufacturing overhead budget at Cutchin Corporation is based on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 2,800 direct labor-hours will be required in September. The variable overhead rate is $7.00 per direct labor-hour. The company’s budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $43,120 per month, which includes depreciation of $3,640. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The September cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
$59,080
Explanation:
The calculation of September cash disbursements is shown below:-
September cash disbursement = Company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead - Depreciation + Variable manufacturing overhead
= $43,120 - $3,640 + $7.00 × 2,800
= $43,120 - $3,640 + $19,600
= $62,720 - $3,640
= $59,080
Therefore for computing the September cash disbursement we simply applied the above formula.
Using the following accounts and an overhead rate of 140% of direct labor cost, compute the amount of applied overhead. Work in Process Inventory Beginning WIP 35,100 Direct materials 57,200 Direct labor ? Factory Overhead ? To Finished Goods 213,300 Ending WIP 25,100 Finished Goods Inventory Beginning FG 5,100 Cost of Goods Mfg'd 213,300
Answer:
$85,225
Explanation:
The computation of the applied overhead is shown below:
Let us assume that the Direct labor be X
And, the factory overhead be 1.4X
As we know that
Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning work in process + direct material + direct labor + factory overhead - ending work in process
$213,300 = $35,100 + $57,200 + X + 1.4X - $25,100
$213,300 = $67,200 + 2.4X
$146,100 = 2.4X
X = $60,875
And, the factory overhead is
= $60,875 × 1.4
= $85,225
hence, the applied overhead is $85,225
