Boston Railroad decided to use the high-low method and operating data from the past six months to estimate the fixed and variable components of transportation costs. The activity base used by Boston Railroad is a measure of railroad operating activity, termed "gross-ton miles," which is the total number of tons multiplied by the miles moved. Transportation Costs Gross-Ton Miles January $1,454,100 323,000 February 1,621,300 361,000 March 1,145,800 234,000 April 1,554,400 350,000 May 1,303,700 281,000 June 1,671,400 380,000 Determine the variable cost per gross-ton mile and the fixed cost. Variable cost (Round to two decimal places.) $fill in the blank 1 per gross-ton mile Total fixed cost $fill in the blank 2
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Transportation Costs Gross-Ton Miles
January $1,454,100 323,000
February 1,621,300 361,000
March 1,145,800 234,000
April 1,554,400 350,000
May 1,303,700 281,000
June 1,671,400 380,000
To calculate the variable and fixed cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (1,671,400 - 1,145,800) / (380,000 - 234,000)
Variable cost per unit= $3.6
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 1,671,400 - (3.6*380,000)
Fixed costs= $303,400
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 1,145,800 - (3.6*234,000)
Fixed costs= $303,400

Answer:
5.48 times
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Stealth Company's 2021 receivables turnover ratio is
Using this formula
Receivables turnover ratio= 2021 Net sales/(2021 Accounts receivable+2021 Accounts receivable)/2
Let plug in the formula
Receivables turnover ratio= $196,000($29,500 +$42,000)/2
Receivables turnover ratio= $196,000/($71,500/2)
Receivables turnover ratio= $196,000/$35,750
Receivables turnover ratio= 5.48 times
Therefore Stealth Company's 2021 receivables turnover ratio is 5.48 times
You purchased one corn future contract at $2.29 per bushel. What would be your profit (loss) at maturity if the corn spot price at that time were $2.10 per bushel? Assume the contract size is 5,000 bushels and there are no transactions costs.
Answer: Loss of $950
Explanation:
You bought the contract at $2.29 per bushel.
The corn contract at the time was actually $2.10.
You bought the futures contract for more than the spot price for the same time period so this is a loss.
Loss = Loss per unit * number of units
= (2.29 - 2.10) * 5,000
= 0.19 * 5,000
= $950
Suppose I want to open my own restaurant. Currently I am working asa Financial Analyst at a top bank earning $175,000 a year, which I willhave to quit to open a restaurant. I am also going to invest $100,000of my savings which were earning an average annual rate of 6%.Whatis my opportunity cost(implicit cost) of opening the restaurant
Answer: $181000
Explanation:
Amount earned in a bank = $175000
Money invested = $100000
Interest Rate = 6%
Interest earned will be:
= 6% × $100000
= $6000
Therefore, the total earnings when the individual is working in the bank will be:
= $175000 + $6000
= $181000
Therefore, the pportunity cost of opening the restaurant will be the income that's foregone when working in the bank which is $181000.

Depreciation by Units-of-activity Method A diesel-powered tractor with a cost of $259,000 and an estimated residual value of $7,400 is expected to have a useful operating life of 85,000 hours. During April, the tractor was operated 200 hours. Determine the depreciation for the month. If required, carry out any division to two decimal places.
Answer:
the depreciation expense is $592
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense is shown below:
= (cost - residual value) ÷ useful operating life × operated in april month
= ($259,000 - $7,400) ÷ 85,000 hours × 200 hours
= $592
Hence, the depreciation expense is $592

Machinery was purchased for $340,000. Freight charges amounted to $14,000 and there was a cost of $40,000 for building a foundation and installing the machinery. It is estimated that the machinery will have a $60,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. Annual depreciation expense using the straight-line method will be a. $78,800. b. $57,200. c. $66,800. d. $56,000.
Answer:
$66,800
Explanation:
Depreciation is used in expensing the cost of an asset
Depreciation reduces the value of an asset
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
Cost = $340,000. + $14,000 + $40,000 = $394,000
($394,000 - $60,000) / 5 = $66,800

Oriole Company sold goods with a total selling price of $809,600 during the year. It purchased goods for $393,200 and had beginning inventory of $68,400. A count of its ending inventory determined that goods on hand was $51,200. What was its cost of goods sold
Answer:
$410,400
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory
Cost of goods sold = $68,400 + $393,200 - $51,200
Cost of goods sold = $410,400
So, its amount of cost of goods sold is $410,400.
M Corporation has provided the following data concerning an investment project that it is considering:
Initial investment $230,000
Annual cash flow $132,000 per year
Expected life of the project 4 years
The net present value of the project is closest to:____.
a. $250,000.
b. $144,128.
c. $(131,000).
d. $(144,128).
Answer: $170,923.60
Explanation:
Missing information is that the discount rate is 12%.
As the cash inflow is constant, this can be termed an annuity. You just need to find the present value of an annuity for 4 years being discounted at 12%.
Present value of Annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of Annuity, 12%, 4 periods
= 132,000 * 3.0373
= $400,923.60
Net Present value = Present value of cash inflow - Initial investment
= 400,923.60 - 230,000
= $170,923.60

Alpha Industries stock sold for $39 a share at the beginning of the year. During the year, the company paid a dividend of $3 a share and then ended the year with a stock price of $37. The change in the stock price is best described as a:
Answer: c. capital loss.
Explanation:
A capital loss refers to a scenario where the price of a security falls below the price at which it was purchased. This is what happened to the Alpha Industries stock above as the price dropped from $39 to $37 which led to a capital loss of $2.
The dividends paid seem to outweigh the capital loss but we cannot be certain of this unless we know the tax rate being applied to the dividends and because these are usually high, the after tax dividends might have been lower the capital loss of $2.

Ignacio, Inc., had after-tax operating income last year of $1,196,500. Three sources of financing were used by the company: $2 million of mortgage bonds paying 4 percent interest, $4 million of unsecured bonds paying 6 percent interest, and $9 million in common stock, which was considered to be relatively risky (with a risk premium of 8 percent). The rate on long-term treasuries is 4 percent. Ignacio, Inc., pays a marginal tax rate of 30 percent.
Required:
Calculate the after-tax cost of each method of financing. Enter your answers as decimal values rounded to three places. For example, 4.36% would be entered as ".044".
Mortgage bonds __________
Unsecured bonds __________
Common stock __________
Answer:
Mortgage bonds after-tax cost:
= Interest rate * (1 - tax rate)
= 4% * ( 1 - 30%)
= 4% * 70%
= 2.8%
Unsecured bonds after-tax cost:
= 6% * (1 - 30%)
= 6% * 70%
= 4.2%
Common stock:
= Long term treasury rate + risk premium
= 4% + 8%
= 12%
Dake Corporation's relevant range of activity is 2,200 units to 5,000 units. When it produces and sells 3,600 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 6.85 Direct labor $ 2.80 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.50 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 3.00 Fixed selling expense $ 0.90 Fixed administrative expense $ 0.60 Sales commissions $ 0.70 Variable administrative expense $ 0.60 If 2,600 units are produced, the total amount of direct manufacturing cost incurred is closest to: rev: 12_18_2020_QC_CS-244896 Multiple Choice $28,990 $36,790 $25,090 $30,810
Answer: $25,090
Explanation:
Direct manufacturing costs are the direct material and direct labor costs tha were incurred to produce the goods in question.
Direct manufacturing costs = (Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit) * number of units produced
= (6.85 + 2.80) * 2,600
= 9.65 * 2,600
= $25,090
Dome Metals has credit sales of $144,000 yearly with credit terms of net 120 days, which is also the average collection period. Assume the firm adopts new credit terms of 5/10, net 120 and all customers pay on the last day of the discount period. Any reduction in accounts receivable will be used to reduce the firm's bank loan which costs 10 percent. The new credit terms will increase sales by 20% because the 5% discount will make the firm's price competitive.
Required:
a. If Dome earns 25 percent on sales before discounts, what will be the net change in income if the new credit terms are adopted?
b. Should the firm offer a discount?
Answer:
a. The net change in income if the new credit terms are adopted is a net gain of $2,880.
b. Since the discount of 5% will result in a net gain which is $2,880, the firm should offer a discount.
Explanation:
a. If Dome earns 25 percent on sales before discounts, what will be the net change in income if the new credit terms are adopted?
Old sales = $144,000
New Sales = Old sales * (100% + Percentage sales increase) = $144,000 * (100% + 20%) = $172,800
Increase in Sales = New Sales - Old sales = $172,800 - $144,000 = $28,800
Increase in Profit from new sales = Profit Margin * Increase in Sales = 25% * $28,800 = $7,200
Average Accounts Receivable without discount = Average Collection Period * Average daily Sales = 120 * ($144,000 / 360) = $48,000
Average Accounts Receivable with discount = Average Collection Period * Average daily Sales = 10 * ($172,800 / 360) = $4,800
Reduction in Accounts Receivable = Average Accounts Receivable without discount - Average Accounts Receivable with discount = $48,000 - $4,800 = $43,200
Loan balance as a result of reduction in accounts receivable. Therefore, we have:
Interest Saving = Interest Rate * Loan Reduction = 10% * $43,200 = $4,320
Cost of Discount = Discount Rate * New Sales = 5% * $172,800 = $8,640
Net Gain (loss) = Increase in Profit form new sales + Interest Saving - Cost of Discount = $7,200 + $4,320 - $8,640 = $2,880
Therefore, the net change in income if the new credit terms are adopted is an net gain of $2,880.
b. Should the firm offer a discount?
Since the discount of 5% will result in a net gain which is $2,880, the firm should offer a discount.
On-Time Delivery Company acquired an adjacent lot to construct a new warehouse, paying $31,000 in cash and giving a short-term note for $278,000. Legal fees paid were $2,220, delinquent taxes assumed were $15,700, and fees paid to remove an old building from the land were $20,800. Materials salvaged from the demolition of the building were sold for $4,600. A contractor was paid $939,400 to construct a new warehouse. Determine the cost of the land to be reported on the balance sheet.
Answer:
the cost of the land that should be reported on the balance sheet is $343,120
Explanation:
The calculation of the cost of the land that should be reported on the balance sheet is given below:
= cash payment + Short term note payable + legal fees paid + delinquent taxes + fees paid for removing out the old building - salvage value
= $31,000 + $278,000 + $2,220 + $15,700 + $20,800 - $4,600
= $343,120
hence, the cost of the land that should be reported on the balance sheet is $343,120
Roddie is 30 years old. He was demoted from his job as a manager at Big Trucks, a company with 10,000 employees. He was replaced by Bambi, a 45-year-old. Roddie was told that he was a little too young for management. Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), what are Roddie's options
The option available for Roddie would be "Roddie has no options under ADEA."
To understand this, we need to go through the terms of 'Age Discrimination Policy in Employment Act;'
This Act covers the cases of employees or workers aging either 40 or above who have suffered age-based discrimination.The people aging under 40 are not covered under this act and hence, the benefits can not be reaped by them in any situation. This law doesn't allow the process of giving preference to an older employee over the younger to be considered illegal.Hence, Roddie has no available options under ADEA as he is below 40(in fact only 30 years old) and he cannot claim under ADEA for justice.

The net income of a company for the year was $500,000. The company has no preferred stock. Common stockholders' equity was $1,200,000 at the beginning of the year and $2,500,000 at the end of the year. Calculate the rate of return on common stockholders' equity.
Answer:
27.03%
Explanation:
Average common stockholders' equity = (1,200,000+2,500,000) / 2
Average common stockholders' equity = $3,700,000 / 2
Average common stockholders' equity = $1,850,000
Rate of return on common stockholders' equity = Net Income / Average common stockholders' equity
Rate of return on common stockholders' equity = $500,000 / $1,850,000
Rate of return on common stockholders' equity = 0.27027
Rate of return on common stockholders' equity = 27.03%
You plan to purchase a $100,000 house using a 30-year mortgage obtained from your local credit union. The mortgage rate offered to you is 7.25 percent. You will make a down payment of 20 percent of the purchase price. Calculate your monthly payments on this mortgage.
Answer:

Answer:
the required sales in units to attain the target net income is 1,231,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the required sales in units to attain the target net income is given below:
= (Fixed cost + target net income) ÷ (contribution margin per unit)
= ($301,500 + $1,545,000) ÷ ($9.15 - $7.65)
= 1,231,000 units
Hence, the required sales in units to attain the target net income is 1,231,000 units
