Answer:
Hewlett-Packard (HP)
1. Yes. The HP way of managing is creating a climate in which employees are motivated to contribute to the organizational goals, aims, and objectives. The HP way encourages informality in personal relationships.
2. The HP managerial style would work in any organization if the organization's culture is developed to accept the style. This implies that if the organization's culture does not promote informality, it may not work.
Explanation:
Every organization develops its own cultural practices to suit its climate and structure. These will detect how the organization achieves its objectives and goals. Some organizations develop very formal structures, while others work better in informal climates. The choice depends on the business strategy that the organizations adopt to pursue their business goals.
Ivanhoe Corporation, a manufacturer of Mexican foods, contracted in 2020 to purchase 1000 pounds of a spice mixture at $4.00 per pound, delivery to be made in spring of 2021. By 12/31/20, the price per pound of the spice mixture had dropped to $3.70 per pound. In 2020, Ivanhoe should recognize:______________
LAnswer:
Loss of $300
Explanation:
Calculation for the what Ivanhoe should recognize in 2020
2020 Recognized Amount=(1,000 pound*$4.00 per pound)-(1,000 pound*$3.70 per pound)
2020 Recognized Amount=4,000 pound-3,700 pound
2020 Recognized Amount=300 pound
Therefore what Ivanhoe should recognize in 2020 is LOSS of 300 pound

On January 1, 2020, Global Sales issued $25,000 in bonds for $29,800. These are eight-year bonds with a stated rate of 15% and pay semiannual interest. Global Sales uses the straight-line method to amortize the bond premium. On June 30, 2020, when Global makes the first payment to bondholders, what is the amount that will be reported as Interest Expense? (Round your intermediate answers to the nearest dollar.) Group of answer choices $1575 $3225 $1875 $1225
Answer:
$ 1,875
Explanation:
Note that cash payable to bondholders semiannually( semiannual coupon payment) is the face value multiplied by the stated rate of 15% apportioned to reflect six-month payment rather than a whole year as computed below:
semiannual coupon payment=face value*coupon rate*6/12
face value=$25,000
coupon rate=15%
semiannual coupon payment=$25,000*15%*6/12
semiannual coupon payment=$1,875
On January 1, Balanger Company buys 10 percent of the outstanding shares of its parent, Altgeld, Inc. Although the total book and fair values of Altgeld's net assets equaled $3.2 million, the price paid for these shares was $340,000. During the year, Altgeld reported $415,000 of separate operating income (no subsidiary income was included) and declared dividends of $35,000. How are the shares of the parent owned by the subsidiary reported at December 31
Answer: a. Consolidated stockholders’ equity is reduced by $340,000.
Explanation:
Consolidated stockholders' equity is the equity owned by stockholders in the entire parent company of Altgeld and its subsidiaries. Balanger as a company, then buys some of its parent's stock for $340,000.
The effect this will have is to reduce the stock available to stockholders in the parent and the subsidiaries almost like buying treasury shares. Consolidated stockholders' equity will therefore reduce by the amount paid for the shares of $340,000.
Onofkp411 Corporation has a time contraint on one of its special machines. The company makes three products that use this machine. Data concerning those products appear below: Magnifico Bellissimo Lovely
Selling price per unit $ 335.18 $ 228.46 $ 199.21
Variable cost per unit $ 259.26 $ 173.08 $ 159.61
Minutes on the constraint 7.50 4.30 5.50
Assume that sufficient time is available on the constrained machine to satisfy demand for all but the least profitable product Q) Up to how much should Onofkp 411 be willing to pay to acquire more of the constrained resource (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
a) $75.80 per minute
b) $14.17 per unit
c) $39.48 per unit
d) $774 per minute
Answer: $7.20 per minute
Explanation:
Find out the profitability of each product as Contribution Margin per minute.
Magnifico
Contribution margin per minute = (Selling price - Variable cost) / minutes on the constraint
= (335.18 - 259.26) / 7.5
= $10.12 per minute
Bellissimo
= (228.46 - 173.08) / 4.3
= $12.88 per minute
Lovely
= (199.21 - 159.61) / 5.5
= $7.20 per minute
Their least profitable product is $7.20 per minute.
The machine does not have sufficient time to satisfy the needs of Lovely so they will have to pay more to acquire more of the resource but they should not pay anything more than $7.20 per minute as this is their contribution margin for the product. and anything more would result in a loss.

Jamie is single. In 2020, she reported $108,000 of taxable income, including a long-term capital gain of $5,800. What is her gross tax liability? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) (Use the tax rate schedules, long-term capital gains tax brackets.)
a. $19.478
b. $20143
c. $18,728
d. 516 200
Answer:
$19,478
Explanation:
Computation of tax liability
i. Total income excluding LTC gain = 108,000 - 5,800 = 102,200
ii. Tax on 102,200 as per single tax schedule = 14605.5+((102200-85525)*24%) = 18607.50
iii. Tax on LTC gain at 15% = 5800 * 15% = 870
So, Gross Tax liability = $18607.50 + $870 = $19477.50 = $19,478
Note: As per Long term capital gain schedule
OM, Inc. was organized on January 1, 2020. The firm was authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of $2 par value common stock. During 2020, OM had the following transactions relating to stockholders' equity: Issued 20,000 shares of common stock at $7 per share. Issued 40,000 shares of common stock at $8 per share. Reported a net income of $100,000. Paid dividends of $50,000. What is the total amount recorded in the Common Stock account at the end of 2020
Answer:
$120,000
Explanation:
It is important to identify whether the Common Stock have a stated Par Value or No Par Value from the Authorized Capital. In this case the Common Stock are stated at a $2 par value. With Par Value Stated Shares, any price paid in excess of the Par Value is Accounted for in a reserve called Paid in Excess of Par or Stock Premium.
Transaction 1
Cash $140,000 (debit)
Common Stock $40,000 (credit)
Paid In Excess of Par $100,000 (credit)
Transaction 2
Cash $320,000 (debit)
Common Stock $80,000 (credit)
Paid In Excess of Par $240,000 (credit)
Therefore,
Total Common Stock at the end of 2020 will be $120,000 ($40,000 + $80,000).
If a large, undiversified oil company used information technology in order to manage organizational coordination, it is likely trying to offset problems with
Answer: diseconomies of scale
Explanation:
Diseconomies of scale is a scenario that occurs when the growth of a particular company brings about an increase in the company's cost per unit. A rise in output in turn, leads to a rise in cost.
Therefore, if a large, undiversified oil company used information technology in order to manage organizational coordination, it is likely trying to offset problems with diseconomies of scale.

Nesrin purchased a $325,000 house and paid 25 percent down. She got a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with an annual interest rate of 5.75 percent. After five years she refinanced the mortgage for 25 years at a 5.35 percent annual interest rate. After she refinanced, what is the new monthly payment (to the nearest dollar)
Answer:
$1,335.01
Explanation:
First step
PV = -325000 * (1-25%) = -243750
N = 30*12 = 360
I/Y = 5.75%/12
FV = 0
Using the Financial calculator
CPT PMT = PMT (-PV, N, I/Y, FV)
CPT PMT = $1,422.46
Second Step
PMT = 1422.46
PV = -325000*(1-25%) = -243,750
I/Y=5.75%/12
N = 12*5 = 60
Using the Financial calculator
CPT FV = FV(PMT, -PV, I/Y, N)
CPT FV = $226,107.75
The Loan outstanding is $226,107.75 after 5 years
Third Step
PV = -226107.75
I/Y = 5.1%/12
N = 12*25 = 300
FV = 0
Using the Financial calculator
CPT PMT = PMT(-PV, N, I/Y, FV)
CPT PMT = $1,335.01
Hence, the new monthly payment is $1,335.01

The Governmental Products Division's divisional segment margin is $41,300 and the Export Products Division's divisional segment margin is $93,700. The total amount of common fixed expenses not traceable to the individual divisions is $106,800. What is the company's net operating income (loss)?Brewer 8e Rechecks 2018-06-22a) $241,800b) $135,000c) $28,200d) $135,000
Answer:
c) $28,200
Explanation:
The computation of the net operating income is as follows
Total segment margin is
= $41,300 + $93,700
= $135,000
And, the common fixed expenses is $106,800
So, the net operating income is
= Total segment margin - common fixed expenses
= $135,000 - $106,800
= $28,200
Hence, the net operating income is $28,200
Therefore the correct option is c.

Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 58% debt, 6% preferred stock, and 36% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of debt of 8.2%, and its cost of preferred stock is 9.3%. If Turnbull can raise all of its equity capital from retained earnings, its cost of common equity will be 12.4%. However, if it is necessary to raise new common equity, it will carry a cost of 14.2%. If its current tax rate is 25%, how much higher wi
Answer:
Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) will be higher by 0.64% if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 58% debt, 6% preferred stock, and 36% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of debt of 8.2%, and its cost of preferred stock is 9.3%. If Turnbull can raise all of its equity capital from retained earnings, its cost of common equity will be 12.4%. However, if it is necessary to raise new common equity, it will carry a cost of 14.2%. If its current tax rate is 40%, how much higher will Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings? (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)
The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:
Step 1: Calculation of WACC when all of its equity capital is raised from retained earnings
This can be calculated using WACC formula as follows:
WACCR = (WS * CE) + (WP * CP) + (WD * CD * (1 - T)) ………………… (1)
Where;
WACCR = Weighted average cost of capital when all of its equity capital is raised from retained earnings = ?
WS = Weight of common equity = 36%, or 0.36
WP = Weight of preferred stock = 6%, or 0.06
WD = Weight of debt = 58%, or 0.58
CE = Cost of equity = 12.4%, or 0.124
CP = Cost of preferred stock = 9.3%, 0.093
CD = Before-tax cost of debt = 8.2%, or 0.082
T = Tax rate = 40%, or 0.40
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
WACCR = (0.36 * 0.124) + (0.06 * 0.093) + (0.58 * 0.082 * (1 - 0.40))
WACCR = 0.078756, or 7.8756%
Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:
WACCR = 7.88%
Step 2: Calculation of WACC if it raises new common equity
This can also be calculated using WACC formula as follows:
WACCE = (WS * CE) + (WP * CP) + (WD * CD * (1 - T)) ………………… (2)
Where;
WACCE = Weighted average cost of capital if it raises new common equity = ?
WS = Weight of common equity = 36%, or 0.36
WP = Weight of preferred stock = 6%, or 0.06
WD = Weight of debt = 58%, or 0.58
CE = Cost of equity = 14.2%, or 0.142 (Note: This is the only thing that has changed compared to what we have in Step 1 above.)
CP = Cost of preferred stock = 9.3%, 0.093
CD = Before-tax cost of debt = 8.2%, or 0.082
T = Tax rate = 40%, or 0.40
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
WACCE = (0.36 * 0.142) + (0.06 * 0.093) + (0.58 * 0.082 * (1 - 0.40))
WACCE = 0.085236, or 8.5236%
Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:
WACCE = 8.52%
Step 3: Caculation of how much higher will Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings.
This can be calculated as follows:
Percentage by which WACC is higher = WACCE - WACCR
Percentage by which WACC is higher = 8.52% - 7.88%
Percentage by which WACC is higher = 0.64%
Therefore, Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) will be higher by 0.64% if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings.

Zepol Company is planning to produce 600,000 power drills for the coming year. The company uses direct labor hours to assign overhead to products. Each drill requires 0.75 standard hour of labor for completion. The total budgeted overhead was $1,777,500. The total fixed overhead budgeted for the coming year is $832,500. Predetermined overhead rates are calculated using expected production, measured in direct labor hours. Actual results for the year are:
Answer:
Actual results are missing, so I looked for a similar question and found:
Actual results for the year are: Actual production (units) 594,000 Actual variable overhead $928,000 Actual direct labor hours (AH) 446,000 Actual fixed overhead $835,600
1. Compute the applied fixed overhead
2. Compute the fixed overhead spending and volume variances
1) budgeted labor hours = 600,000 units x 0.75 labors hours per unit = 450,000 labor hours
standard fixed overhead rate = $832,500 / 450,000 labor hours = $1.85 per labor hour
applied fixed overhead = actual labor hours x standard fixed overhead rate = 446,000 x $1.85 = $825,100
2) Fixed overhead volume variance = applied fixed overhead – budgeted fixed overhead = $825,100 - $832,500 = -$7,400 favorable
Fixed overhead spending variance = actual fixed overhead - applied fixed overhead = $835,600 - $825,100 = $10,500 unfavorable
total fixed overhead variance = -$7,400 + $10,500 = $3,100 unfavorable
Since the costs of producing an intermediate product do not change regardless of whether the intermediate product is sold or processed further, these costs are not considered in deciding whether to further process a product.
a) true
b) false
Answer: a) true
Explanation:
The costs incurred to produce the intermediate products have already been incurred and as such are referred to as sunk costs.
They will not change regardless of whether the good is sold before further processing or if it is sold after. They therefore do not matter in the decision to either process or sell and so are not considered.

=($12 x 500 ) - ($10 x 500)
=$6,000 - $5,000
=$1,000
2. gain from dividends
=$2 x 500
=$1,000
Total gain = $1000 + 1000 = $2000
The amount invested = original value + commissions
=($10 x 500) + $200
=$5200
The percentage gain
= $2000/5200 x 100
=0.384615 x 100
=38.46%
Dan Pink argues that for 21st century tasks in creative businesses the mechanistic, reward-and-punishment approach will not work best because creativity is often constrained when immediate monetary rewards are offered in return for success. a. Trueb. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
This statement is true. Dan Pink argued that when it came to creative businesses, it would be best to use intrinsic as opposed to extrinsic rewards to encourage employees as extrinsic rewards such as money could constrain creativity.
Intrinsic rewards are those that are psychologically rewarding such as giving employees tasks that are fulfilling and make them feel part of the team as well as positive feedback from employers.
In examining investors’ preferences for dividends, it is useful to begin with the concept of dividend irrelevance. Dividend irrelevance suggests that in a world with no taxes or brokerage (or transaction) costs, firms and investors are indifferent to the paying or receiving of dividends. However, as these restrictions are relaxed, various factors suggest that firms should pursue high or low payouts. One such factor is:
Answer: Favor a high payout
Explanation:
Investors are allowed to exclude as much as 70% of dividend income from taxes. They will therefore demand a higher payout in terms of investment so that they make make more income after they exclude taxes.
For instance, assume investors had a choice between receiving $40 and $60 in dividends.
On $40, the non-taxable amount would be = 40 * 70% = $28
On $60, the non-taxable amount would be = 60 * 70% = $42
They will pick the higher payout of $60 in order to get more income after tax.
NU YU announced today that it will begin paying annual dividends. The first dividend will be paid next year in the amount of $0.47 a share. The following dividends will be $0.52, $0.67, and $0.97 a share annually for the following three years, respectively. After that, dividends are projected to increase by 3.3 percent per year. How much are you willing to pay today to buy one share of this stock if your desired rate of return is 14 percent
Answer:
P0 = $7.383535 rounded off to $7.38
Explanation:
Using the dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the price of the stock today, we will use the following formula,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n +
[(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
r is the required rate of return
g is the constant growth rate in dividends
n is the number of years
P0 = 0.47 / (1+0.14) + 0.52 / (1+0.14)^2 + 0.67 / (1+0.14)^3 +
0.97 / (1+0.14)^4 + [(0.97 * (1+0.033) / (0.14 - 0.033)) / (1+0.14)^4]
P0 = $7.383535 rounded off to $7.38
Your neighbor never mows his lawn. You don’t have any legal right to force him to mow, but the mess in his front yard is making your neighborhood unsightly and reducing the value of your house. The reduction in the value of your house is $5,000, and the value of his time to mow the lawn once a week is $1,000. Suppose you offer him a deal in which you pay him $3,000 to mow. How does this deal affect surplus?
Answer: The deal will have the effect of increasing both your surplus as well as your neighbor's
Explanation:
Assuming your neighbor accepts the deal, you would have paid $3,000 when in fact your house value had reduced by $5,000. This give you a surplus of $2,000 because you paid $2,000 less than the cost to you if your neighbor did not mow the lawn.
Your neighbor also makes a surplus because where normally it would cost them $1,000 to mow the lawn, they got $3,000. They also make a surplus of $2,000 over the cost to mow.
