Yard Tools manufactures lawnmowers, weed-trimmers, and chainsaws. Its sales mix and unit contribution margin are as follows.
Sales Mix Unit Contribution Margin
Lawnmowers 20% $33
Weed-trimmers 50% $21
Chainsaws 30% $37
Yard Tools has fixed costs of $4,200,000.
Required:
Compute the number of units of each product that Yard Tools must sell in order to break even under this product mix.
Answer:
Lawnmowers’ break-even point in units = 29,787 units
Weed-trimmers’ break-even point in units = 74,468 units
Chainsaws' break-even point in units = 44,681 unit
Explanation:
Given:
Sales Mix Unit Contribution Margin
Lawnmowers 20% $33
Weed-trimmers 50% $21
Chainsaws 30% $37
The number of units of each product that Yard Tools must sell in order to break even under this product mix can be computed using Weighted-Average Contribution Margin Ratio as follows:
Weighted contribution margin = (Sales Mix of Lawnmowers * Unit Contribution Margin of Lawnmowers) + (Sales Mix of Weed-trimmers * Unit Contribution Margin of Weed-trimmers) + (Sales Mix of Chainsaws * Unit Contribution Margin of Chainsaws) = (20% * $33) + (50% * $21) + (30% * $37) = $28.20
Total break-even point in units for the company = Fixed cost / Weighted contribution margin = $4,200,000 / $28.20 = 148,936 units
Therefore, we have:
Lawnmowers’ break-even point in units = Sales Mix of Lawnmowers * Total break-even point in units for the company = 20% * 148,936 = 29,787 units
Weed-trimmers’ break-even point in units = Sales Mix of Weed-trimmers * Total break-even point in units for the company = 50% * 148,936 = 74,468 units
Chainsaw’s break-even point in units = Sales Mix of Chainsaws * Total break-even point in units for the company = 30% * 148,936 = 44,681 units
The Weber Company purchased a mining site for $527,108 on July 1. The company expects to mine ore for the next 10 years and anticipates that a total of 82,993 tons will be recovered. During the first year the company extracted 5,802 tons of ore. The depletion expense is
Answer:
$36,849.86
Explanation:
Depletion cost is used to allocate the costs of extracting natural resources.
Depletion expense = (depreciable cost / total tons that can be recovered ) x tons recovered in a given year
(527,108 / 82,993) x 5802 = $36,849.86
Automatic stabilizers are fiscal policy measures that A. do not require new legislation. B. are determined by the Federal Reserve System. C. are part of discretionary fiscal policy. D. must be determined by the Congress in each budget.
Answer: A. do not require new legislation.
Explanation:
Fiscal policy refers to measures used by the governments to stabilize the economy. Automatic stabilizers are part of this policy and as the term implies, they are automatic. They kick in when the economy is overheated to cool it down or when there is a recession to boost it.
They therefore require no new legislation because they have already taken effect. Automatic stabilizers are useful because they are not affected by the time lag it takes between the time new fiscal policy is announced and the time it actually take effect.

Suppose that in the rice market demand shifts due to a new rice diet that is being marketed in the U.S. as a cure for cancer. Simultaneously the supply curve shifts due to a flood that affects the rice crop in California. What is the most likely outcome in this situation
Answer:
The equilibrium price will increase
Explanation:
Equilibrium price is defined as the price at which the quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal.
At this point there is no excess demand or supply, they are both equal.
I'm the given scenario the new rice diet that is being marketed in the U.S. as a cure for cancer will lead to increase in demand for rice.
While a flood that affects the rice crop in California will reduce the ability of suppliers to supply. Leading to reduced quantities supplied to the market.

Consider the baggage check-in process of a small airline. Check-in data indicates that from 9am to 10am, 190 passengers checked in. Moreover, based on counting the number of passengers waiting in line, airport management found that the average number of passengers waiting for check-in was 56.
Required:
How long did the average passenger have to wait in line?
Answer:
17.68 minutes
Explanation:i
In order to calculate the average time passenger had to wait in line, we would first divide the average number of passengers check-in in with the passengers checked in from 9 am to 10 am (which was the highest number of check-ins of the day). Then we would multiply that number by 60 minutes. As shown below:
First,
= 56 average number of passengers checked-in / 190 passengers checked-in from 9 to 10 am
= 0.2947
Then
= 0.2947 x 60 minutes
= 17.68 minutes
Hence, 17.68 minutes did the average passenger wait in line.

A bond has a coupon rate of 8% and matures in 10 years. What are its expected cash flows if this bonds have a principal amount of $1000 and pay interest semi-annually
Answer:
$1080
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the expected cash flows
Since the bonds have a principal amount of the amount of $1000 first step is to calculate the Cash flow CO1
CO1=$1000(.08)/2
CO1=$80/2
CO1= $40
Second step is to calculate the Frequency of PMT
Frequency of PMT= 10 years x 2 (semi-anually)
Frequency of PMT= 20
Now let determine the Cash Flow CO10
Cash Flow CO10=1000+80
Cash Flow CO10=$1080
Therefore the expected cash flows is $1080

A large bakery buys flour in 25-pound bags. The bakery uses an average of 4200 bags a year. Preparing an order and receiving a shipment of flour involves a cost of $10.70 per order. Annual carrying costs are $76 per bag. Determine the EOQ. (Keep two decimal places in your answer)
Answer:
34
Explanation:
Annual demand D = 4,200 bags
Ordering cost S = $10.70
Holding cost H = $76
Economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{2*D*S / H[/tex]
Economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{2*4200*$10.70 / $76}[/tex]
Economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{89880/76}[/tex]
Economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{1182.63}[/tex]
Economic order quantity = 34.389388
Economic order quantity = 34
A building is acquired on January 1, at a cost of $830,000 with an estimated useful life of eight years and salvage value of $75,000. Compute depreciation expense for the first three years using the double-declining-balance method. (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$207,500
$155,625
$116,719
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/8 = 1/4
1 = $830,000 / 4 = 207,500
book value $830,000 - 207,500 = 622,500
2 = 622,500 / 4 = 155,625
book value = 622,500 - 155,625 = 466875
3 466875 / 4 = 116,718.75 = 116,719
g A company has beginning inventory of 16 units at a cost of $24 each on February 1. On February 3, it purchases 34 units at $26 each. 22 units are sold on February 5. Using the FIFO periodic inventory method, what is the cost of the 22 units that are sold
Answer:
$188
Explanation:
FIFO method assumes that the units to arrive first will be sold first. Hence the cost of sales will be valued using the prices of earlier or older units.
Cost of Sales = 16 units x $24 + 6 units x $26
= $188
Thus, the cost of the 22 units that are sold is $188.

Which of the following statements accurately describe the effect of the increase in government borrowing?
a. National saving decreases by less than $20 billion.
b. Investment increases by less than $20 billion.
c. Public saving decreases by exactly $20 billion.
d. Private saving increases by less than $20 billion.
Answer:
d. Private saving increases by less than $20 billion.
Explanation:
Because the interest rate has increased, investment and national saving decline and private saving increases. The increase in government borrowing reduces public saving. From the figure you can see that total loanable funds (and thus both investment and national saving) decline by less than $20 billion, while public saving declines by $20 billion and private saving rises by less than $20 billion.

The records of Pippins, Inc., included the following information: Net sales $ 1,000,000 Gross margin 475,000 Interest expense 50,000 Income tax expense 80,000 Net income 240,000 Compute the times interest earned ratio, rounded to the nearest decimal.
Answer:
the times interest earned ratio is 7.4 times
Explanation:
The computation of the times interest earned ratio is given below/;
Times interest earned ratio is
= EBIT ÷ interest expense
where
EBIT = Net Income + Interest Expense + Income tax Expense
= 240,000 + 50,000 + 80,000
= 370,000
Now the times interest earned ratio is
= $370,000 ÷ $50,000
= 7.4 times
Hence, the times interest earned ratio is 7.4 times
Judd, Inc., owns 35% of Cosby Corporation. During the calendar year 2010, Cosby had net earnings of $300,000 and paid dividends of $30,000. Judd mistakenly recorded these transactions using the fair value method rather than the equity method of accounting. What effect would this have on the investment account, net income, and retained earnings, respectively?
a. Understate, overstate, overstate
b. Overstate, understate, understate
c. Overstate, overstate, overstate
d. Understate, understate, understate
Answer: d. Understate, understate, understate
Explanation:
If using fair value, the effects of net earnings and dividends would not be accounted for. With the equity method however, this would have done leading to the investment account, net income, and retained earnings being understated if using fair value as opposed to equity.
The Equity method would have sent 35% of the net earnings to the investment account which would have increased it. 35% of the Cosby dividends would have been sent to the net income which would have increased it as well and when net income increases, so does retained earnings.
On January 1, 2021, Princess Corporation leased equipment to King Company. The lease term is 11 years. The first payment of $700,000 was made on January 1, 2021. The equipment cost Princess Corporation $4,641,167. The present value of the lease payments is $5,001,197. The lease is appropriately classified as a sales-type lease. Assuming the interest rate for this lease is 10%, how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on this lease
Answer: $403,221.67
Explanation:
Interest revenue in 2022 = Value of Lease payments in 2022 * Interest rate
Value of lease payments after first payment :
= 5,001,197 - 700,000
= $4,301,197
Value of lease payments after second payment in 2022:
= Value of lease payment after first payment + Interest revenue - lease payment
= 4,310,197 + (4,310,197 * 10%) - 700,000
= $4,032,216.70
Interest revenue in 2022 = 4,032,216.70 * 10%
= $403,221.67
