C. $4,500
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense using the straight-line method is shown below:
= (Cost - residual value) ÷ Useful life of the asset
= $24,000 ÷ 48 months
= $500
Now for 9 months, it is
= $500 × 9 months
= $4,500
Hence, the depreciation expense is $4,500
Therefore the correct option is c. $4,500

Why is it important to know the cost of inspection in a particular areas of business organization?
Explanation:
Every regulated organization understands the need to implement a quality system. In fact, it’s a “shall” clause for all life sciences companies to ensure they are in compliance with industry regulations. The focus of any effective quality system is, and rightly so, all about ensuring patient safety. From there, as the organization matures, its people, processes and technology evolve from a compliance, to a correction, to a prevention mindset, eventually resulting in increased quality brand recognition and shareholder value.
In the real world, companies need to engage quality system processes, such corrective and preventive action (CAPA), as the lifeline to feed improvements through the change management processes into the product lifecycle, from design inputs to manufacturer and supplier outputs.
Defining the cost of quality
As we look at process and product improvements, quantifying the “quality” costs to the organization is defined as the Cost of Quality (COQ). Why quantify the quality data? The COQ categorizes these costs so the organization can see how moving from a quality assurance (control and correction) focus to a focus on prevention helps to reduce the cost of nonconformances.
The American Society of Quality (ASQ) uses the following formula to calculate the COQ:
Cost of Quality (COQ) = Cost or Poor Quality (COPQ) + Cost of Good Quality (COGQ)
The COPQ contains all the costs of nonconformances that are both internal and external to the organization; whereas, the COGQ contains the cost of quality conformance, including any costs associated with both appraisal and prevention.
Some examples would be:
COPQ – Internal Costs (defects occurring and managed within the organization)
Scrap, Rework, Re-inspection
COPQ – External Costs (defects that reach the consumer)
Adverse Event Reporting, Warranty, Corrections and Removals, Product Liability, loss of brand reputation
COGQ – Appraisal Costs (controls put in place by the organization)
Inspection (purchased, manufactured), Testing (acceptance, field), Quality Audits, Calibration
COGQ – Prevention Costs (activities to eliminate defects from ever occurring)
SPC (statistical process control), Quality Planning, Quality Training, investment in quality-related information systems
What is the cost to your organization?
In the life sciences industry, analysts have stated that less than 50 percent of companies really know what the COQ is for their organization. However, ASQ, Crosby, and FDA Case for Quality show that the COQ for an organization can range from 3 – 25% of a company’s revenue. The good news is that there are known strategies that can be put in place to drive down the COQ which will have a direct positive impact on the profitability of your organization, and it’s all within your control.
Strategies for cost improvements
Every company is at a different point in the evolution of its people, processes and technology implementations, and even its understanding of its key metrics/performance indicators or COQ. Management could consider leveraging the following strategies to reduce their company’s COPQ and positively impact its quality and profitability performance.
Improve supplier relationships for both product and process improvements
Collaborate during design process, engage suppliers in the corrective action process (from incoming, manufacturing or customer-reported problems), develop supplier scorecards, audit suppliers based on their product/process risk levels

Chance, Inc. sold 3,300 units of its product at a price of $87 per unit. Total variable cost per unit is $63, consisting of $41 in variable production cost and $22 in variable selling and administrative cost. Compute the manufacturing margin for the company under variable costing.
a) $135,300
b) $207,900
c) $151,800
d) $287,100
e) $128,700
Answer:
Total manufacturing margin= $151,800
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units sold= 3,300
Unitary variable manufacturing cost= $41
Selling price per unit= $87
Because we need to calculate the manufacturing margin, we will not take into account the administrative costs:
Total manufacturing margin= 3,300*(87 - 41)
Total manufacturing margin= $151,800
Suppose that United States produces 10,000,000 barrels of oil and 1,000 bushels of wheat each week. Suppose that Pakistan produces 9753 barrels of oil and 9753 bushels of wheat each week. 1. In autarky, what is the largest amount of wheat United States can consume every week? Number bushels 2. What does the term autarky refer to? a) The process of negotiating terms of trade between two countries. b) A major argument against globalization. c) countries Government policies meant to reduce international trade. d) A situation where one country does not engage in trade with other
Answer:
1. 1,000 bushels of wheat
2. d) A situation where one country does not engage in trade with other
Explanation:
1 & 2. Autarky refers to a situation where a country does not engage in trade with other countries but rather relies on its own production capacities to feed the consumption in the country.
Autarkies in the current world are not a thing because countries trade with each other. Even North Korea trades with Russia, China and others.
In an Autarky situation therefore, the United States would only be able to consume the wheat that it produces itself which according to the question is 1,000 bushels of wheat.
Answer: 1. 1000 bushels of wheat.
2. A situation where one country does not engage in trade with other.
Explanation:
Autarky simply refers to an economy that's self sufficient and doesn't depend on other economies and doesn't trade with them.
1. The largest amount of wheat that the United States can consume every week will be 1000 bushels of wheat. This is because in autarky, nations won't engage in trading so whatever quantity of whameat that's produced will be consumed.
2. Autarky situation where one country does not engage in trade with other. Therefore, the correct option is D.
Yeats Corporation's sales in Year 1 were $396,000 and in Year 2 were $380,000.Using Year 1 as the base year,the percent change for Year 2 compared to the base year is:_________.A) −104%B) 100%C) −4.0D) 96%E) 4.2%
Answer:
The correct option is C) −4.0%.
Explanation:
Since Year 1 is said to be used as the base year, the percentage change can bee calculated using the following formula:
Percent change = ((Sales in Year 2 - Sales in Year 1) / Sales in Year 1) * 100 ........... (1)
Where;
Sales in Year 1 = $396,000
Sales in Year 2 = $380,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Percent change = (($380,000 - $396,000) / $396,000) * 100
Percent change = (−$16,000 / $396,000) * 100
Percent change = −0.0404040404040404 * 100
Percent change = −4.04040404040404%
Approximating to one decimal place, we have:
Percent change = −4.0%
Therefore, the percent change for Year 2 compared to the base year is -4.0% and the correct option is C) −4.0%.

a. The market value will decrease
b. The market value will increase
c. The market value will increase or decrease, depending on the general economic climate
d. The market value should remain level

A call option has an exercise price of $150.At the option expiration date, the stock price could be either $100 or $200.Which investment would combine to give the same payoff as the stock?
A) Lend PV of $100 and buy two calls.
B) Lend PV of $100 and sell two calls.
C) Borrow $100 and buy two calls.
D) Borrow $100 and sell two calls.
Answer:
A) Lend PV of $100 and buy two calls.
Explanation:
For the option expiration date, it is mentioned that the stock price could be either $100 or $200 so it would be the final payoff either in $100 or $200
Now the lending of the present value i.e. $100 would be compulsory
So, the two calls values would be
= ($200 - $150) × 2
= 100
Total value be
= $100 + $100
= $200
Therefore the first option is correct
And all the other options are wrong

Watts Corporation made a very large arithmetical error in the preparation of its year-end point in the calculation of financial statements by improper placement of a decimal depreciation. The error caused the net income to be reported at almost double the proper amount. Correction of the error when discovered in the next year should be treated as:____________. a. an increase in depreciation expense for the year in which the error is discovered b. a component of income for the year in which the error is discovered, but separately listed on the income statement and fully explained in a note to the financial statements. c. a change in accounting principle for the year in which the error was made. d. a prior period adjustment.
Answer:
d. a prior period adjustment.
Explanation:
Correction of the error when discovered in the next year should be treated as a prior period adjustment. This is basically because the error was already recorded in the past financial report. Since these reports are final and cannot be changed, then the correction to this error needs to be implemented in the next year's financial report and would reflect on that year's income taxes. The process of doing this is known in accounting as a prior period adjustment
Which of the following would be an example of an implicit cost?
(i)
forgone investment opportunities
(ii)
wages of workers
(iii)
raw materials costs
Group of answer choices
Answer:
(i) forgone investment opportunities
Explanation:
Implicit costs are the same as the opportunity costs of using a company's resources. There are the foregone benefits of not investing in project B but opting for project A. Implicit costs are associated with the resources that a business already owns.
Implicit costs are used to calculate the economic value of a project. They help managers assess how best to use the available resources. Wages of workers and raw materials costs represent explicit costs, which are direct materials of a project.
A stock has a correlation with the market of 0.49. The standard deviation of the market is 25%, and the standard deviation of the stock is 33%. What is the stock's beta?
A.) 1.55
B.) 0.65
C.) 0.35
D.) 0.37
Answer:
Stock's beta = 0.65 (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Correlation = 0.49
Standard deviation of stock (SDs) = 33% = 0.33
Standard deviation of market (SDm) = 25% = 0.25
Find:
Stock's beta
Computation:
Stock's beta = Correlation(SDs) / SDm
Stock's beta = 0.49 (0.33) / 0.25
Stock's beta = 0.65 (Approx)
Maxwellâs annual financial statements show operating profit before interest and tax of $508,848 thousand, net income of $311,662 thousand, provision for income taxes of $91,720 thousand and net nonoperating expense before tax of $107,301 thousand. Assume Maxwellâs statutory tax rate for the year is 37%. Maxwellâs effective tax rate is:______________
Answer: 22.84%
Explanation:
Operating profit before interest and tax = $508,848
Less: net nonoperating expense before tax = $107,301
Earning before tax = $508,848 - $107,301 = $401,547
Provision for income taxes = $91,720
Effective tax rate = Provision for income taxes / Earning before tax × 100
= 91720/401547 × 100
= 0.2284 × 100
= 22.84%
Ten years ago, Lucas Inc. earned $0.50 per share. Its earnings this year were $5.00. What was the growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) over the 10-year period?
Answer:
25.89%
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, initial earning = $0.50
Final earnings = $5.0
Number of periods = 10 years
We can formulate the above into an equation, which will now be:
$5.00 = $0.5 ( 1 + rate )^ 10
We can simplify furthermore.
1 + rate ^ 10 = 5 / 0.5
1 + rate ^ 10 = 10
1 + rate ^ 10 = 10^1/10
1 + rate = 10 ^ 0.1
1 t rate = 1.2589
rate = 1.2589 - 1
rate = 0.2589
rate = 25.89%
Therefore, the growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) over the 10 year period is 25.89% .

An unfavorable production-volume variance ________. A. is not a good measure of a lost production opportunity B. indicates that the company had reduced its per unit fixed overhead cost to improve sales C. takes into account the effect of additional revenues due to maintaining higher prices D. measures the amount of extra fixed costs planned for but not used
Answer:
d) measures the amount of extra fixed costs planned for but not used
Explanation:
An unfavorable production-volume variance measures the amount of extra fixed costs planned for but not used. As per production-volume variance extra fixed costs planned for but not used has unfavorable production-volume variance.
When production-volume variance is unfavorable, that means the fixed cost are allocated on lesser number of manufactured units, hence it indicates that the fixed costs are not controlled well.

Faster Company uses the periodic inventory method and had the following inventory information available:
Units Unit Cost Total Cost
1/1 Beginning Inventory 15 $8.00 $120
1/20 Purchase 60 $8.80 528
7/25 Purchase 30 $8.40 252
10/20 Purchase 45 $9.60 432

a. Assume that the company uses the FIFO method. The value of the ending inventory at December 31 is $:__________
b. Assume that the company uses the average-cost method. The value of the ending inventory on December 31 is $:_________
c. Assume that the company uses the LIFO method. The value of the ending inventory on December 31 is $:_________
1. Determine the difference in the amount of income that the company would have reported if it had used the FIFO method instead of the LIFO method.
2. Would income have been greater or less?
Question Completion:
A physical count of inventory on December 31 revealed that there were 55 units on hand.
Answer:
Faster Company
a. Assume that the company uses the FIFO method. The value of the ending inventory at December 31 is $:____516______
b. Assume that the company uses the average-cost method. The value of the ending inventory on December 31 is $:____488.40_____
c. Assume that the company uses the LIFO method. The value of the ending inventory on December 31 is $:__472_______
1. The difference in the amount of income if it had used the FIFO method instead of the LIFO:
Cost of goods sold under FIFO = $816
Cost of goods sold under LIFO = $860
Difference in income = $44
2. The income would have been greater by $44 because the FIFO charges less cost than the LIFO, especially when costs are rising.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Faster uses the periodic inventory method.
Date Units Unit Cost Total Cost
1/1 Beginning Inventory 15 $8.00 $120
1/20 Purchase 60 $8.80 528
7/25 Purchase 30 $8.40 252
10/20 Purchase 45 $9.60 432
Total 150 $1,332
Ending inventory 55
Units of goods sold 95
Average cost = $1,332/150 = $8.88
Under FIFO:
Ending Inventory = 45*$9.60 + 10*$8.40 = $516
Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale minus the Ending Inventory = $1,332 - 516 = $816.
Under Average-Cost Method:
Ending Inventory = 55 * $8.88 = $488.40
Cost of goods sold = 95 * $8.88 = $843.60
Under LIFO method:
Ending Inventory = 15*$8.00 + 40*$8.80 = $472
Cost of goods sold = $860 ($1,332 - $472)
