A.) A challenge gaining prominence throughout the planet is the increased need for "green" or sustainable energy. In certain parts of the country, wind farms are a viable alternative to conventional energy sources. An average wind turbine, the device which converts rotational motion to electricity, has a maximum capacity of 1.80 MW1.80 MW . However, the wind turbine realistically never runs at full power. If a wind turbine runs at 26.4%26.4% capacity for 1.00 year1.00 year , how much energy does the wind turbine generate?
E=______kWh

Jan Wei owns a cycle store that sells equipment, clothing, and other accessories. During the month of June, the following activities occurred:
1.The business earned $30,000 from the sale of bicycles, clothing, and accessories. Half the sales were for cash and the other half was on account.
2.The merchandise that was sold originally cost $17,400.
3.Jan purchased additional merchandise on credit for $20,800.
4.Jan paid $18,000 to the suppliers of the merchandise purchased above.
5.The telephone, electricity, and water bills for the month came to $430. All but one of these bills, for $130, was paid by the end of the month.
6.Additional expenses for the month, including depreciation expense of $600, totalled $2,100. They were all paid in cash, except the depreciation expense, and were for repairs and maintenance done to the store.
7.At the end of May, Jan had an 8% loan for $5,000 outstanding with the bank. On the last day of June, Jan paid the monthly interest that was owed on the loan, and also paid $500 on the loan principal.
8.On the last day of June, a customer ordered a $1,300 bicycle. Jan did not have it in stock, so it was ordered and will be delivered in July. Since it was a special order, the customer paid a $300 deposit on it.

Bill has just returned from a duck hunting trip. He brought home eight ducks. Bill’s friend, John, disapproves of duck hunting, and to discourage Bill from further hunting, John presented him with the following cost estimate per duck: Camper and equipment: Cost, $15,000; usable for eight seasons; 12 hunting trips per season $ 156 Travel expense (pickup truck): 100 miles at $0.39 per mile (gas, oil, and tires—$0.28 per mile; depreciation and insurance—$0.11 per mile) 39 Shotgun shells (two boxes per hunting trip) 25 Boat: Cost, $2,080, usable for eight seasons; 12 hunting trips per season 22 Hunting license: Cost, $80 for the season; 12 hunting trips per season 7 Money lost playing poker: Loss, $36 (Bill plays poker every weekend whether he goes hunting or stays at home) 36 Bottle of whiskey: Cost, $25 per hunting trip (used to ward off the cold) 25 Total cost $ 310 Cost per duck ($310 ÷ 8 ducks) $ 39 Required: 1. Assuming the duck hunting trip Bill has just completed is typical, what costs are relevant to a decision as to whether Bill should go duck hunting again this season? 2. Suppose Bill gets lucky on his next hunting trip and shoots 12 ducks using the same amount of shotgun shells he used on his previous hunting trip to bag 8 ducks. How much would it have cost him to shoot the last two ducks?

Olsen Outfitters Inc. believes that its optimal capital structure consists of 50% common equity and 50% debt, and its tax rate is 40%. Olsen must raise additional capital to fund its upcoming expansion. The firm will have $3 million of retained earnings with a cost of rs = 15%. New common stock in an amount up to $10 million would have a cost of re = 19%. Furthermore, Olsen can raise up to $4 million of debt at an interest rate of rd = 9% and an additional $4 million of debt at rd = 12%. The CFO estimates that a proposed expansion would require an investment of $7.4 million. What is the WACC for the last dollar raised to complete the expansion? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Exercise 9-25 Activity-Based versus Traditional Costing (L.O. 4, 5, 6)
|
Rodent Corporation produces two types of computer mice, wired and wireless. The wired mice are designed as low-cost, reliable input devices. The company only recently began producing the higher-quality wireless model. Since the introduction of the new product, profits have been steadily declining. Management believes that the accounting system is not accurately allocating costs to products, particularly because sales of the new product have been increasing. Management has asked you to investigate the cost allocation problem. You find that manufacturing overhead is currently assigned to products based on their direct labor costs. For your investigation, you have data from last year. Manufacturing overhead was $1,154,000 based on production of 360,000 wired mice and 101,000 wireless mice. Direct labor and direct materials costs were as follows: |
| Wired | Wireless | Total | |||||||
| Direct labor | $ | 1,033,000 | $ | 381,000 | $ | 1,414,000 | |||
| Materials | 750,000 | 691,000 | 1,441,000 | ||||||
|
Management has determined that overhead costs are caused by three cost drivers. These drivers and their costs for last year are as follows: |
| Activity Level | ||||||
| Cost Driver | Costs Assigned | Wired | Wireless | Total | ||
| Number of production runs | $ | 400,000 | 35 | 5 | 40 | |
| Quality tests performed | 578,000 | 14 | 20 | 34 | ||
| Shipping orders processed | 176,000 | 110 | 50 | 160 | ||
| Total overhead | $ | 1,154,000 | ||||
| Requirement 1: | |
| (a) |
How much overhead will be assigned to each product if these three cost drivers are used to allocate overhead? (Omit the "$" sign in your response.) |
| Overhead | |
| Wired | $ |
| Wireless | $ |
| (b) |
What is the total cost per unit produced for each product? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) |
| Cost per unit | |
| Wired | $ |
| Wireless | $ |
| Requirement 2: | |
| (a) |
How much overhead will be assigned to each product if direct labor cost is used to allocate overhead? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) |
| Overhead | |
| Wired | $ |
| Wireless | $ |
| (b) |
What is the total cost per unit produced for each product? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) |
| Cost per unit | |
| Wired | $ |
| Wireless | $ |
| Requirement 3: |
|
By allocating overhead on the basis of direct labor, Rodent has been understating the cost to manufacture Wireless mice thereby overstating the profits on the Wireless model. |
