Snug Harbor Realty Co., had a checking account in 1st National Bank. When construction work was obtained by Snug Harbor, its superintendent, Magee, would examine the bills submitted for labor and materials. He would instruct the bookkeeper which bills were approved, and the bookkeeper then prepared the checks in accordance with his instructions. After the checks were signed by the proper official of Snug Harbor, Magee picked them up for delivery. Instead of delivering certain checks, he forged the signatures of the respective payees as endorsers and cashed the checks. The drawee bank then debited the Snug Harbor account with the amount of the checks. Snug Harbor claimed this was improper and sued the bank for the amount of the checks. The bank claimed it was protected by the impostor rule.
Required:
Will the bank be successful?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
The higher court's ruling was reversed, and the case was remanded for further proceedings.
The higher court argued that the trial court erred by failing to understand that the checks were for actual payees for the plaintiff, not names given by the employee, and that the trial court erred in its decision.
The bank will be covered under UCC 3-405 if an employee forged a payee and forged the endorsement on a company check and embezzled the check. The checks were meant for the company's actual payees, so this was not the case.
Macroeconomic factors that influence interest rate levels
1. T or F: During the credit crisis of 2008, investors around the worls were fearful about the collapse of real estate markets, shaky stock markets, and illiquidity of several securities in the US and several other nations. The demand for US treasury bonds increased, which led to a rise in their price and a decline in their yields.
2. T or F: When the ecnomy is weakening, the Fed is likely to increase short-term interest rates.
3. T or F: When the Fed increses the money supply, short-term interest rates tend to decline.
4. T of F: the Federal Reserve Board has significant influence over the level of economic activity, inflation, and interest rates in the US.
Answer:
1. True
2. False
3. False
4. True

The Mighty Music Company produces and sells a desktop speaker for $100. The company has the capacity to produce 50,000 speakers each period. At capacity, the costs assigned to each unit are as follows: Unit level costs $ 45 Product level costs $ 15 Facility level costs $ 5 The company has received a special order for 500 speakers. If this order is accepted, the company will have to spend $15,000 on additional costs. Assuming that no sales to regular customers will be lost if the order is accepted, at what selling price will the company be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order
Answer:
$75
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what selling price will the company be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order
Using this formula
Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= ( Additional cost ÷ Units sold number) + Unit level Cost
Let plug in the formula
Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= ( $15,000 ÷ 500 ) + $45
Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= $30 + $45
Selling price between accepting and rejecting the special order= $75
Therefore The selling price that the company will be indifferent between accepting and rejecting the special order is $75
29. Randolph is a 30 percent partner in the RD Partnership. On January 1, RD distributes $22,500 cash and inventory with a fair value of $56,000 (inside basis of $28,000) to Randolph in complete liquidation of his interest. RD has no liabilities at the date of the distribution. Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $53,625. What is the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution
Answer: $3125 capital loss
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, we should note that RD Partnership distributes $22500 cash and inventory with inside basis of $28000.
Since Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $53,625, the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution will be:
= ($22500 + $28000) - $53625
= $50500 - $53625
= -$3125
Therefore, there's a capital loss of $3125

Ronnie operates a lawn-care service. On each day, the cost of mowing the first lawn is $15, the cost of mowing the second lawn is $25, and the cost of mowing the third lawn is $40. His producer surplus on the first three lawns of the day is $100. If Ronnie charges all customers the same price for lawn mowing, that price is a. $20. b. $60. c. $80. d. $180.
Answer:
b. $60
Explanation:
Produced surplus = Price producer is able to sell - Price producer would be willing to sell
Price the producer is able to sell = Producer surplus + Price producer would be willing to sell
= $100 + ($15 + $25 + $40)
= $180 for 3 lawn
Therefore, if Ronnie charges are customers the same price for lawn mowing, that price is
= $180 / 3
= $60

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years. b. We must have information on the cost of capital in order to determine which project has the larger early cash flows. c. The crossover rate, i.e., the rate at which Projects A and B have the same NPV, is greater than either project's IRR. d. The NPV profile graph is inconsistent with the statement made in the problem. e. More of Project B's cash flows occur in the later years.
Answer: a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years.
Explanation:
When a project has its cashflows occurring in later years, the NPV will be less because the discount rate would have a greater period to discount it in as opposed to cashflows that occur more recently which would receive less discounting from the discount rate.
As a result of Project A having more distant cashflows, the discount rate discounted its cash flows more which is why higher rates led to its NPV being zero because those higher rates got to discount it over a longer period.
Galactic Inc. manufactures flying drone toys. Sales units for January, February, March, April and May were 320, 300, 372, 332, and 400 respectively. Budgeted production in units for January, February, and March were 315, 318, and 362 respectively. Each unit requires 3 direct labor hours and Galactic’s hourly labor rate is $16 per hour. The company’s variable overhead is $5.00 per unit produced and its fixed overhead is $5,600 per month..
Required:
a. Determine Galactic's direct labor budget for the first quarter.
b. Determine Galactic's manufacturing overhead budget for the first quarter
Answer:
Direct labor costs= $47,760
total manufacturing overhead= $10,575
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 315 + 318 + 362= 995 units
Each unit requires 3 direct labor hours.
Hourly rate= $16
Variable overhead per unit= $5
Fixed overhead= $5,600
First, we need to calculate the direct labor hours:
Direct labor hours= 995*3= 2,985
Now, the direct labor costs:
Direct labor costs= $47,760
Finally, the total manufacturing overhead:
total manufacturing overhead= 5,600 + 5*995
total manufacturing overhead= $10,575

Your job pays you only once a year for all the work you did over the previous 12 months. Today, December 31, you just received your salary of $58,000 and you plan to spend all of it. However, you want to start saving for retirement beginning next year. You have decided that one year from today you will begin depositing 3 percent of your annual salary in an account that will earn 11 percent per year. Your salary will increase at 6 percent per year throughout your career.
Required: How much money will you have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today?
Answer:
The amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the formula for calculating the future value of growing annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n) / (r - g)) ...................................... (1)
Where
FV = Future value or the amount on the date of retirement = ?
M = First annual deposit = Annual salary * Deposit percentage = $58,000 * 3% = $1,740
r = annual interest rate = 11%, or 0.11
g = salary growth rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of years = 40 years
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,740 * (((1 + 0.11)^40 - (1 + 0.06)^40) / (0.11 - 0.06))
FV = $1,740 * 1,094.30298736951
FV = $1,904,087.20
Therefore, the amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.

Supposed that the daily wage for miners is $110 and that of the muckers is $90 per day. Find the long run cost function for US Iron & Steel Co. (x teams produce 10x tons of iron ore per day.)
Answer:
$200 to produce 10x ton of iron ore
Explanation:
The cost for one day to produce 10x tons of iron ore is calculated as follows.
1 miner and 1 mucker work together to make 10x ton of iron ore where,
1 miners wage = $110
1 mucker wage = $90
This makes a total of $200 to produce 10x ton of iron ore.
The costs in the long run will remain same because the wages are fixed if the wages are negotiable or varies then in the long run the cost function can differ.

Michelle is an active participant in the rental condominium property she owns. During the year, the property generates a ($15,000) loss; however, Michelle has sufficient tax basis and at-risk amounts to absorb the loss. If Michelle has $115,000 of salary, $10,000 of long-term capital gains, $3,000 of dividends, and no additional sources of income or deductions, how much loss can Michelle deduct
Answer: $11000
Explanation:
The total income earned by Mitchell will be the addition of the salary, long term capital gain and dividend. This will be:
= $115,000 + $10,000 + $3,000
= $128,000
The exception amount of $25000 can be gotten.
Modified adjusted gross income = $100,000
Phased out amount = ($128000 - $100000) × 50%
= $28000 × 0.5
= $14000
Mitchell's loss = $25000 - $14000 = $11000

Media outlets often have websites that provide in-depth coverage of news and events. Portions of these websites are restricted to members who pay a monthly subscription to gain access to exclusive news and commentary. These websites typically offer a free trial period to introduce viewers to the website. Assume that during a recent fiscal year, one outlet spent $2,368,800 on a promotional campaign for its website that offered two free months of service for new subscribers. In addition, assume the following information:
Number of months an average new customer stays with the service (including the two free months) 22 months
Revenue per month per customer subscription $21
Variable cost per month per customer subscription $7
Determine the number of new customer accounts needed to break even on the cost of the promotional campaign. In forming your answer:
a. treat the cost of the promotional campaign as a fixed cost
b. treat the revenue less variable cost per account for the subscription period as the unit contribution margin.
Answer: 8,905 customers
Explanation:
Breakeven = Fixed cost / Contribution Margin
Fixed cost = $2,368,800
Contribution margin = Revenue - Variable cost
Revenue will be for 20 months because there were 2 free months:
= 21 * 20
= $420 per customer
Variable cost = 7 * 22
= $154
Contribution margin = 420 - 154
= $266
Breakeven = 2,368,800 / 266
= 8,905 customers

9. Stabilization Suppose the US educational system improves, making workers more productive. If the federal reserve is trying to stabilize the price level in response, they should A. do nothing, because prices will not change anyhow. B. do nothing, because prices cannot be prevented from changing in the long run C. sell bonds in open market operations. D. lower the reserve requirement. E. increase the discount rate F. Raise taxes. G. Increase government spending.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
If workers become more productive, the supply curve shifts rightward. As a result prices would fall. In a bid to stabilise price, the federal reserve would conduct an expansionary monetary policy to increase money supply in the economy
Expansionary monetary policy : these are polices taken in order to increase money supply. When money supply increases, aggregate demand increases. reducing reserve requirement and open market purchase are ways of carrying out expansionary monetary policy
Increasing discount rate and selling bonds are examples of contractionary monetary policies. Contractionary monetary policy : these are policies taken to reduce money supply.
Raising tax is an example of contractionary fiscal policy
Increasing government spending is an example of expansionary fiscal policy
