The SP Corporation makes 38,000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing machines. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is: Direct materials $ 9.70 Direct labor $ 8.70 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.55 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.50 An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the sewing machine. The price offered to SP Corporation for this motor is $24.55. If SP Corporation decides not to make the motors, there would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be:

Answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

The fixed cost is relevant in this situation as it can not be avoided and there would be no other use for the facility.

                                                         Unit cost

Direct materials                                   9.70

Variable manufacturing cost              3.55

Fixed  manufacturing overhead         4.50

Direct labor                                          8.70

Total                                                     26.45

Units produced cost of producing 38,000 = 38000* 26.45 = 1,005,100

Cost of buying 38,000 = 38,000 * 24.55 = 932,900

Cost saved = 1,005,100 - 932,900 =72,200

Cori's Corp. has an equity value of $13,505. Long-term debt is $8,800. Net working capital, other than cash, is $3,620. Fixed assets are $17,980 and current liabilities are $1,870.How much cash does the company have?
Cash ________________$
What is the value of the current assets?
Current assets ______________$

Answers

Answer:

Cash $705

Current Assets $6,195

Explanation:

Equity $13,505

Long-term debt $8,800

Net working capital, other than cash, $3,620.

Fixed assets are $17,980

Current liabilities are $1,870.

Net Working capital is the Net value of Current and Current Liabilities.

We need to calculate current assets with cash first.

As we know

Assets = Equity + Liability

Fixed Assets + Current Assets = Equity + Long Term Liability + Current Liability

$17,980 + Current Assets = $13,505 + $8,800 + $1,870

Current Assets = $24,175 - $17,980 = $6,195

Net Working Capital  = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

$3,620 = Current Assets - $1,870

Current Assetsother than cash = $3,620 + $1,870

Current Assets other than cash = $5,490

Cash Value = Total Current Assets - Current Assets other than cash = $6,195 - $5,490 = $705

Final answer:

Cori's Corp has $705 in cash and $4,325 in current assets. This is calculated using the formula: Cash = Equity value + Long-term debt - Fixed assets - Net working capital (excluding cash), and then adding the calculated cash to the net working capital to get the current assets.

Explanation:

To calculate the cash of the company, you need to use the following formula: Cash = Equity value + Long-term debt - Fixed assets - Net working capital (excluding cash).

So the cash Cori's Corp. has would be: Cash = $13,505 + $8,800 - $17,980 - $3,620 = $705.

Next, the total current assets would be the sum of the Net Working Capital and cash. In this case, current assets = Net working capital + Cash = $3,620 + $705 = $4,325.

Hence, Cori's Corp has $705 in cash and $4,325 in current assets.

The Refining Department of​ SweetBeet, Inc. had 74,000, tons of sugar to account for in July. Of the 74,000 ​tons, 42,000 tons were completed and transferred to the Boiling​ Department, and the remaining 32,000 tons were 60​% complete. The materials required for production are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the refining process. The weightedminus−average method is used. Calculate the total equivalent units of production for direct materials.

Answers

Answer:

The total equivalent units of production for direct materials is 74000 Units.

Explanation:

materials required for production are added at the beginning of the process. So whatever the Total amount of materials required for 74000 Tons as been added at beginning of the Production (in July). For the Purpose of materials we need to consider 100% Completed.

total Equalent Units = Total Units Started

                                 = 74000 Units

Therefore, The total equivalent units of production for direct materials is 74000 Units.

You have a portfolio which is composed by a risky asset with an expected rate of return of 15% and a standard deviation of 20% and a risk free asset with a rate of return of 10%. What portion of your portfolio should be invested in the risky asset if you want your portfolio to have a standard deviation of 8%?

Answers

Answer:

Weight of risky asset = 0.4 or 40%

Explanation:

The standard deviation(SD) of a portfolio with one risky asset and one risk free asset can be calculated by multiplying the weightage of investment in the risky asset by the standard deviation of the risky asset as the risk free asset's standard deviation is zero. The formula to calculate the standard deviation of such a portfolio is,

Portfolio SD = weight of risky asset * Standard deviation of risky asset

Plugging in the values for portfolio SD and standard deviation of risky asset, we can calculate the weight of risky asset in the portfolio to be,

0.08 = weight of risky asset * 0.2

0.08 / 0.2 = weight of risky asset

Weight of risky asset = 0.4 or 40%

Hanson Inc. has the following variable manufacturing overhead standard to manufacture one Zippy: 1.5 standard hours per Zippy at $3.00 per direct labor hour
Last week, 1,550 hours were worked to make 1,000 Zippies, and $5,115 was spent for variable manufacturing overhead.
1. Hanson’s rate variance (VMRV) for variable manufacturing overhead for the week was:_______.
a. $465 unfavorable.
b. $400 favorable.
c. $335 unfavorable.
d. $300 favorable
2. Hanson’s efficiency variance (VMEV) for variable manufacturing overhead for the week was:______.
a. $435 unfavorable.
b. $435 favorable.
c. $150 unfavorable.
d. $150 favorable.

Answers

Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $465 unfavorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $150 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard:

1.5 standard hours per Zippy at $3.00 per direct labor hour

Actual:

1,550 hours to make

1,000 Zippies

$5,115 was spent

To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Actual rate= 5,115/1,550= $3.3

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance=  (3 - 3.3)*1,550

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $465 unfavorable

To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate

Variable overhead efficiency variance= (1.5*1,000 - 1,550)*3

Variable overhead efficiency variance= $150 unfavorable

Eilert Construction Company had a contract starting April 2018, to construct a $42,000,000 building that is expected to be completed in September 2019, at an estimated cost of $38,500,000. At the end of 2018, the costs to date were $17,710,000 and the estimated total costs to complete had not changed. The progress billings during 2018 were $8,400,000 and the cash collected during 2018 was $5,600,000. Eilert uses the percentage-of-completion method. [ What makes-up Construction in Process

Answers

Answer:

$20,790,000

Explanation:

Since the estimated total costs to complete had not change, the Construction is Process can be estimated as follows:

Construction in Process = Estimated total completion cost - Total costs of completion to date = $38,500,000 - $17,710,000 = $20,790,000
