H.J. Heinz Company uses standards to control its materials costs. Assume that a batch of ketchup (7,650 pounds) has the followin

g standards:
Standard Quantity Standard Price
Whole tomatoes 5,000 lbs. $0.75 per lb.
Vinegar 350 gal. 0.90 per gal.
Corn syrup 40 gal. 7.50 per gal.
Salt 125 lbs. 1.80 per lb.

The actual materials in a batch may vary from the standard due to tomato characteristics. Assume that the actual quantities of materials for batch 08-99 were as follows:

4,900 lbs. of tomatoes
375 gal. of vinegar
36 gal. of corn syrup
140 lbs. of salt

Determine the standard unit materials cost per pound for a standard batch.

Answer:

$0.6 per pounds

Explanation:

Below is the calculation for the standard unit materials cost for each pound:-

Whole Tomatoes = 5,000 × $0.75

= $3,750

Vinegar = 350 × 0.90

= $315

Corn syrup = 40 × 7.50

= $300

Salt = 125 × 1.80

= $225

Total cost = Whole Tomatoes + Vinegar + Corn syrup + Salt

= $3750 + $315 + $300 + $225

= $4,590

Standard Unit Materials cost per pound = Total cost ÷ ketchup pounds

= $4,590 ÷ 7,650 pounds

= $0.6 per pounds

Last year Lowell Inc. had a total assets turnover of 1.40 and an equity multiplier of 1.75. Its sales were $295,000 and its net
Scilla [3833]

Response:

The return on equity (ROE) would be altered by 8.52%

Clarification:

Initially, we determine the existing ROE utilizing the Dupont Formula, yielding ROE as follows:

ROE = Net Income/Sales * Sales/Total Assets * Total Assets/Equity

or

ROE = Net Profit Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier

  • Current ROE = 10600/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.0880 or 8.8%

The condition states that net income might rise to 20850 while other factors remain unchanged. Therefore, to find the new ROE, we compute the updated Net Profit margin, keeping the total assets turnover and the equity multiplier constant due to the absence of sales, assets, or capital structure changes.

  • New ROE = 20850/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.17316 or 17.32%
  • The ROE would have shifted by 17.32 - 8.80 = 8.52%

stepan [3596]

Answer: $36,000 loss

Explanation:

Initial cost = $250,000

Shipping fees = $3,500

Setup fees = $2,500

Annual maintenance = $5,000

Depreciation amount = $25,000

Proposed selling price = $200,000

Total costs involved = $(250,000 + 3,500 + 2,500 + 5,000)

Total costs involved = $261,000

Depreciation amount = $25,000

Equipment's book value = $261,000 - $25,000 = $236,000

Calculating gain/loss = Book value - selling price

Gain/loss = $236,000 - $200,000

$36,000 loss

Rizzo Company has debentures ($1,000 par) outstanding that are convertible into the company's common stock at a price of $25. Th
Mariulka [3825]

Answer:

A. $880

B. -$752.23

Explanation:

To find the conversion value of the issue, we start with this calculation

The initial step is to compute the Conversion ratio using the following formula

Conversion ratio = Par value of security/ Conversion price

Substituting, we find

Conversion ratio = $1,000/$25

Thus, Conversion ratio = 40

Next, we determine the Conversion value with this formula

Conversion value = Conversion ratio * Conversion price

Substituting gives

Conversion value = 40*$22 per share

Therefore, the conversion value of the issue equals $880

B. Now calculating the Straight bond value of the issue

Using a financial calculator for Present Value (PV)

PMT = 8%*1,000 = 80

N = 12 years

1/Y = 12%

FV = 1,000

Thus, PV = -$752.23

This means the Straight bond value of the issue is -$752.23

A firm with $900,000 in sales, cash on hand of $1,150,000, liabilities of $400,000 and total assets of $2 million has a total as
Mariulka [3825]

Answer:

0.45

Explanation:

Total asset turnover indicates the ratio of total assets to total revenue. It evaluates how effectively a company is employing its assets to generate sales.

The calculation is performed as follows: Net Sales / Average Total Assets.

Average total assets are determined by: (Asset at Start + Asset at End) / 2.

Using the given data:

Total revenue = $900,000 and total assets = $2,000,000.

$900,000/$2,000,000 = 0.45.

Note: Since the beginning and ending assets are not specified, we assume $2,000,000 represents the average assets.
