Answer:

232

Explanation:

Calculation for what is the exponential smoothing forecast value for the following period

Exponential smoothing forecast value=230 + 0.1 * (250-230)

Exponential smoothing forecast value=230 + 0.1*20

Exponential smoothing forecast value = 232

Therefore the exponential smoothing forecast value for the following period will be 232

marin [14]

Answer:

1a) Actual Cost per foot = 6$

1b) Materials Price variance = 7530

1b) Spending Variance = 10830

2a) Standard Rate = 7.5 USD

2b) Standard Hours = 4804 hours

2c) Standard hours allowed = 2.09

Explanation:

As usual, let's sort out the data given:

1. For direct materials:

a) Compute the actual cost per foot of materials for March.

For actual cost per foot for materials for march. We need to find the actual quantity first. so, we will come back to it.

Data Given:

Units Produced = 2,290

Standard Quantity for Direct material = 3 feet

Standard Quantity for Direct materials = 3 x 2,290 = 6870 feet

Standard Price per foot = 5 USD

Standard Total Units =  6870

Total Price = 5 x 6870 = 34350 USD

But

Actual Price = unknown

Actual Quantity = Unknown

Actual Cost = 45,180$ company purchased the direct materials at that cost.

Material Quality Variance = Standard Price x (Actual Qty - Standard Qty)

Here in this equation, we know all the quantities except Actual Qty. let's make it subject to calculate it.

Actual Qty = 3,300/$5 + 6870

Actual Qty = 7,530

Now, as we have Actual Quantity, we can calculate the part a of part 1.

So, let's calculate a.

a) a) Compute the actual cost per foot of materials for March.

Actual cost per foot = Direct Material Cost / Actual Qty

Actual Cost per foot = 45,180/7530

Actual Cost per foot = 6$

Let's move on to part 1 b.

b) Compute the price variance and the spending variance.

Formula to calculate the Materials Price Variance is as follows:

Materials Price Variance = Actual Qty x( Actual Price - Standard Price)

Materials Price Variance = 7530 x ( 6 - 5)

Materials Price variance = 7530

Now, we have to calculate the spending variance and the formula is as follows:

Spending Variance = (Actual Price x Actual Qty) - (Standard Qty x Standard Price)

Spending Variance = (6 x 7530) - ( 6870 x 5)

Spending Variance = 10830

Let's move on to part 2 a.

a) Compute the standard direct labor rate per hour:

Formula :

Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) x Actual Hours

Labor rate variance = Labor spending variance - Labor efficiency variance

Labor rate variance =   3130 - 780 = 2350

In this equation, we know all the quantities but we have to find Standard rate so make it subject.

Standard Rate = 2350/4700 + 7

Standard Rate = 7.5 USD

b. Compute the standard hours allowed for the month’s production.

Labor Efficiency Variance = Standard rate x ( Actual hours - Standard Hours)

In this part, we need to find the standard hours.

let's make it the subject.

Standard hours = 780/7.5 + 4700

Standard Hours = 4804 hours

c. Compute the standard hours allowed per unit of product.

Standard hours allowed can be found by plugging in the values in the following formula.

Formula:

Standard hours allowed = Standard hours / units produced

Standard hours allowed = 4804/2,290

Standard hours allowed = 2.09

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

B) –2%

Explanation:

The total return on an investment is calculated by,

Total Return = Capital gains ÷ Initial Investment x 100

First we will have to calculate capital gains of his investment,

He got 600 in dividends and 4,300 after selling the stock against the initial investment of $5,000.

So capital gains,

= 600 + 4,300 - 5,000

= -100

Total Return would be,

= -100 / 5,000 x 100

= -2% is the total return on his investment.

On January 1, 2020, Cracker Co. purchased 40% of Dallas Corp.'s common stock at book value of net assets. The balance in Cracker
Sav [38]

Answer: $680,000

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Cracker Co. purchased 40% of Dallas Corp.'s common stock at book value of net assets on January 1, 2020 and that the balance in Cracker's Equity Investment account was $820,000 at December 31, 2020.

We are further told that Dallas reported net income of $500,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and paid dividends totaling $150,000 during 2020.

The amount paid by Cracker Co. for its 40% interest in Dallas Corp goes thus:

It should be noted that the balance in Cracker's Equity Investment account as at December 31st 2020 is the addition of the acquisition price and the share in net income after which the dividend share is deducted from the value of the addition gotten. This can be written as:

Acquisition price + (500000 × 40%) -(150000 × 40%) = $820,000

Acquisition price + (500000 × 0.4) -(150000 × 0.4) = $820,000

Acquisition price + $200,000 - $60,000 = $820,000

Acquisition price = $820,000 + $60,000 - $200,000

Acquisition price = $680,000

Cracker Co. paid $680,000 for its 40% interest in Dallas Corp.

QUESTION 11 Given the following information, calculate the equity dividend rate for this investment: first-year NOI: $18,750; be
Alja [10]

Answer: D. 2.2%

Explanation: Equity Dividend Rate is calculated by dividing the Before Tax Cash Flow by the Acquisition price. If you need the answer in percentage form, you then multiply by 100.

Here, before-tax cash flow =  $11,440

Acquisition price = $520,000

So Equity Dividend Rate = \frac{11440}{520000} X 100

     Equity Dividend Rate = 2.2%

In this question, you do not need the Net Operating Income (NOI). You only need the NOI if the Before Tax Cash Flow is not given and the debt service payment is. If this is the case, you subtract the debt service payment from the NOI to get the Before Tax Cash Flow.

Upton Umbrellas has a cost of equity of 11.6 percent, the YTM on the company's bonds is 6.2 percent, and the tax rate is 40 perc
matrenka [14]

Answer:

WACC = 9.86%

so correct option is d. 9.86%

Explanation:

given data

cost of equity = 11.6 percent

bonds = 6.2 percent

bonds sell = 103.2 percent

debt book value = $408,000

total assets book value= $952,000

market to book ratio = 2.74 times

to find out

what is the company's WACC

solution

we get here first Total book value of equity that is express as

Total book value of equity = Total assets book value - Total debt book value   .................1

Total book value of equity  = 952000 - 408000

Total book value of equity = $544000

and here market to book ratio  is

market to book ratio  = \frac{market\ value}{book\ value}

so market value of equity = (2.74 × 544000) = $1490560

and  

After tax cost of debt = 6.2 (1 - tax rate)

After tax cost of debt = 6.2 (1 - 0.4)

After tax cost of debt = 3.72%

and

Market value of Debt = 408000 × 103.2%  

Market value of Debt   = $421056

so

Total market value = $1490560 + $421056

Total market value is =$1911616

and  

WACC will be

WACC = Respective costs × Respective weights

WACC =  \frac{1490560}{1911616}11.6 + 3.72\frac{421056}{1911616}

WACC = 9.86%

so correct option is d. 9.86%
