O’Hara Associates sells golf clubs, and with each sale of a full set of clubs provides complementary club-fitting services. A full set of clubs with the fitting services sells for $1,400. O’Hara estimates that it incurs $50 of staff compensation and other costs to provide the fitting services, and normally earns 20% over cost on similar services. Assuming that the golf clubs and the club-fitting services are separate performance obligations, estimate the stand-alone selling price of the club-fitting services using the expected cost plus margin approach.
Answer:
$60.00
Explanation:
Calculation to estimate the stand-alone selling price
Hara Amount $ Note
Staff compensation $50.00
Mark up % 20%
Mark up amount $10.00
(20%*$50)
Standalone selling price of club fitting services $60.00
($50.00+$10.00)
Therefore the estimated stand-alone selling price will be $60.00

Pooling has been used for a long time by businesses as a way to reduce risk. Imagine that years ago a small paint factory employed 200 people, each with an annual salary of $600/year. The factory owner knew from experience that 4 percent of workers were being injured each year, becoming unable to work. The factory owner decided to set up a fund to pay injured workers three months of salary to help their families and build good will with employees. The owner did not contribute to the injury fund. The workers themselves contributed a fixed amount each year to fund the plan. Answer the following questions (1 point each):_____.
1. How much did the owner need to collect from employees in total to fully fund the plan each year?
2. How much did each employee have to contribute each year to fully fund the plan?
3. What percentage of salary did each employee contribute to have an injury fund like this?
Answer:
1. Amount required to fund the plan = % of injured*Total employees* Annual salary
Amount required to fund the plan = 4%*200 people* $600
Amount required to fund the plan = $4800
2. Amount contributed by each employee = Amount required to fund the plan / Number of employees
Amount contributed by each employee = $4800/200
Amount contributed by each employee = $24
3. Percentage of salary = Amount contributed by each employee / Salary
Percentage of salary = 24/600
Percentage of salary = 0.04
Percentage of salary = 4%
Ken is 63 years old and unmarried. He retired at age 55 when he sold his business, Understock.com. Though Ken is retired, he is still very active. Ken reported the following financial information this year. Assume Ken files as a single taxpayer.
a. Ken won $1,200 in an illegal game of poker (the game was played in Utah, where gambling is illegal).
b. Ken sold 1,000 shares of stock for $32 a share. He inherited the stock two years ago. His tax basis (or investment) in the stock was $31 per share.
c. Ken received $25,000 from an annuity he purchased eight years ago. He purchased the annuity, to be paid annually for 20 years, for $210,000.
d. Ken received $13,000 in disability benefits for the year. He purchased the disability insurance policy last year.
e. Ken decided to go back to school to learn about European history. He received a $500 cash scholarship to attend. He used $300 to pay for his books and tuition, and he applied the rest toward his new car payment.
f. Ken's son, Mike, instructed his employer to make half of his final paycheck of the year payable to Ken. Ken received the check on December 30 in the amount of $1,100.
g. Ken received a $610 refund of the $3,600 in state income taxes his employer withheld from his pay last year. Ken claimed $6,250 in itemized deductions last year (the standard deduction for a single filer was $6,200).
h. Ken received $30,000 of interest from corporate bonds and money market accounts.
Determine Ken's gross income
Answer: $46,950
Explanation:
a. All sources of income should be included including illegal ones.
b. Gain = 1,000 (32 - 31)
= $1,000
c. Gain = Amount received - Amount paid apportioned per year
= 25,000 - (210,000/20)
= 25,000 - 10,500
= $14,500
d. Not included as disability benefits are not included.
e. The $300 is deductible but the $200 that went towards car payment is not.
f. Taxation principles require that the person taxed should be the person earning the income so Ken will not be charged on the $1,100
g. The relevant figure here is the tax benefit before the $610 refund.
Ken claimed $6,250 in itemized deduction but the standard deduction is $6,200. Ken gained;
= 6,250 - 6,2000
= $50
h. The $30,000 is included as Ken earned it.
Gross Income = 1,200 + 1,000 + 14,500 + 200 + 50 + 30,000
= $46,950
A small nation of 10 people idolizes the TV show The Voice. All they produce and consume are karaoke machines and CDs, in the following amounts:
Karaoke Machines CDs
Quantity Price(Dollars) Quantity Price (Dollars)
2020 20 50 60 5
2021 21 70 80 6
Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is_____________ . (Note: Use 2020 as the base year, and fix the basket at 2 karaoke machines and 6 CDs.) Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is_____________ . (Note: Again, use 2020 as the base year.) Which of the following statements is correct? Check all that apply.
a. The inflation rate in 2021 is not the same using the two methods.
b. The CPI allows the basket of goods and services to change.
c. The GDP deflator holds the basket of goods and services constant.
Answer:
The inflation rate is different using the two methods as the rate of inflation calculated by the CPI holds basket of goods and services constant while the GDP deflator allows it to change.
Explanation:
i. Value of market basket of the good in 2020 = ($50*2) + ($5*6) = $130
Value of market basket of the good in 2021 = ($70*2) + ($6*6) = $176
CPI in 2020 = ($130 / $130) * 100 = 100
CPI in 2021 = ($176 / $130) * 100 = 135.38
Thus, The percentage change in overall price level is = [(135.38 - 100) / 100) * 100 = 35.38%
ii. Nominal GDP in 2020 = ($50 * 20) + ($5 * 60) = $1300
Nominal GDP in 2021 = ($70 * 21) + ($6 * 80) = $1950
Real GDP in 2020 = ($50 * 20) + ($5 * 60) = $1300
Real GDP in 2021 = ($50 * 21) + ($5 * 80) = $1450
GDP deflator in 2020 = (Nominal GDP in 2107 / Nominal GDP in 2107) * 100 = ($1300 / $1300) * 100 = 100
GDP deflator in 2021 = (Nominal GDP in 2108 / Nominal GDP in 2108) * 100 = ($1950 / $1450) * 100 = 134.48
Thus, the percentage change in overall price level is = [(134.48 - 100) / 100) * 100 = 34.48%
Yesterday, Casey received a cable company ad for bundled TV, telephone, and Internet service that cost appreciably more than what she is currently paying. At the same time, she received a notice from her utility company that summer rates would be increasing. Her schoolbooks are costing almost twice what they cost last year, and yesterday, gasoline cost her 30 cents more per gallon than it did last week. As she ponders the situation, she can't help but wonder how prices could be rising when so many people have lost their jobs and are cutting back on expenditures. She is certain that this situation characterizes her economics professor's description of stagflation.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
It is true that her situation characterizes what her economics professor's mentioned on stagflation.
She experienced high internet cost more than she is paying, she was also notified on an increase in the utility summer rates, increase in the cost of her schoolbooks, and gasoline all point to what stagflation is.
Stagflation is detected when a nation experiences slow economic growth obvious with an increase in the cost of goods, which means a reduction in purchasing power as Casey experienced. When companies want to still be running their business, they will increase the cost of their services as there are fewer goods available and the currency weakened.
Lipscomb Corporation is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20 percent debt, 20 percent preferred stock, and 60 percent common equity. Its bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for 1,000 USD. The firm could sell, at par, 100 USD preferred stock which pays a 12 percent annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Libscomb is a constant-growth firm which just paid a dividend of $2.00, sells for 27.00 USD per share, and has a growth rate of 8 percent. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40.
Required:
a. What is Rollins' cost of common stock using the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach?
b. What is Rollins' WACC?
Answer:
a. 16%
b. 13.566%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital is the rate that a company is expected to pay on average to all its security holders to finance its assets. The WACC is commonly referred to as the firm's cost of capital.
DATA
P is price = 27
G is growth = 8%
Tax rate = 40%
Requirement a.
When the market rate of bond is equal to par value then yield is equal to the coupon rate
Tax rate = 12(1-0.4) = 7.2%
Cost of preferred stock = dividend/price
There will be a 5% floatation cost so net proceeds is 95
Cost of preferred stock = 12/95 = 12.63%
Cost of equity = D1/P + g
Where D1 is dividend for year 1 = 2+8% = 2.16
Cost of equity = 2.16/27 + 0.08
Cost of equity = 16%
Requirement b
Wacc = 7.2×20% + 12.63×20% + 16×60%
Wacc = 13.566%
Three different companies each purchased trucks on January 1, 2018, for $76,000. Each truck was expected to last four years or 250,000 miles. Salvage value was estimated to be $6,000.

Net Income $47,500 27,000 $42,320
2019:
Net Income $47,500 46,000 $49,600
2020:
Net Income $47,500 55,500 $52,120
2021:
Net Income $47,500 61,500 $45,120
Retained earnings $190,000 $190,000 $189,160
f) Companies A and B will report the highest amount of retained earnings because C's units of production did not tally to 250,000.
Explanation:
Cost of Truck = $76,000
Lifespan = 4 years or 250,000 miles
Salvage value = $6,000
Depreciable amount = $70,000 ($76,000 - $6,000)
Straight-line rate = $17,500 ($70,000/4) or 25% (100/4) per year
Double-declining balance rate = 50% (100/4 * 2) on the book balance
Units of production rate = $0.28 ($70,000/250,000) per unit

what has the U.S customs created to force importing companies like wal-mart to provide more detailed information about
Answer: The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT)
Explanation:
The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) is a partnership program between the public and private sector created by the US Customs to improve border and cargo security.
When a firm like Wal-Mart becomes a member of the CTPAT, the likelihood of their goods being examined at a port of entry falls but this is because of the oversight requirements imposed on the firms such as ensuring the members provide detailed information about their suppliers and transportation companies.

Pitt Enterprises manufactures jeans. All materials are introduced at the beginning of the manufacturing process in the Cutting Department. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the manufacturing process. As the cutting of material is completed, the pieces are immediately transferred to the Sewing Department. Information for the Cutting Department for the month of May follows.
Work in Process, May 1 (54,000 units, 100% complete for direct materials, 35% complete with respect to conversion costs; includes $78,500 of direct material cost; $42,050 of conversion costs).
Units started in May 233,000
Units completed in May 208,000
Work in Process, May 31 (79,000 units, 100% complete for direct materials; 15% complete for conversion costs).
Costs incurred in May
Direct materials $391,440
Conversion costs $401,900
Required:
If Pitt Enterprises uses the FIFO method of process costing, compute the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs respectively for May.
Answer:
cost per equivalent unit : materials = $1.37 and conversion costs = $1.78.
Explanation:
Please note that we have to use FIFO costing method
Calculation of the Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials and Conversion Costs
1. Raw Materials
To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 0%) 0
Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%) 179,000
Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 100%) 79,000
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials 258,000
1. Conversion Cost
To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 65%) 35,100
Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%) 179,000
Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 15%) 11,850
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Conversion 225,950
Calculation of the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs.
Unit Cost = Current Period Costs ÷ Equivalent units of production
1. Raw Materials
Unit Cost = $391,440 ÷ 258,000
= $1.37
2. Conversion Cost
Unit Cost = $401,900 ÷ 225,950
= $1.78

Based on the preceding information, which of the following is an consolidating entry needed to prepare a full set of consolidated financial statements at December 31, 20X8:
A. Common Stock 200,000
Retained Earnings 150,000
Income from Tester Co. 40,000
Dividends declared 10,000
Investment in Tester Co. 285,000
NCI in NA of Tester Co. 95,000
Explanation:
Data:
A is the only correct answer. With it, the following accounts are debited:
Common Stock 200,000
Retained Earnings 150,000
Income from Tester Co. 40,000
And these accounts are credited:
Dividends declared 10,000
Investment in Tester Co. 285,000
NCI in NA of Tester Co. 95,000
With these, the debit side and the credit side are made to be equal. Again, debiting and crediting the above accounts eliminate them from the combined or consolidated financial statements since they are reflected on opposite sides of the parent and subsidiary's financial statements.
On January 1, 2021, Jasperse Corporation leased equipment under a finance lease designed to earn the lessor a 10% rate of return for providing long-term financing. The lease agreement specified ten annual payments of $90,000 beginning January 1, and each December 31 thereafter through 2029. A 10-year service agreement was scheduled to provide maintenance of the equipment as required for a fee of $5,000 per year. Insurance premiums of $4,000 annually are related to the equipment. Both amounts were to be paid by the lessor and lease payments reflect both expenditures (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
At what amount will Jasperse record a right-of-use asset?
PV factors based on
Table or Calculator function: PVAD of $1
Lease Payment
n = 10
i = 12%
Right-of-use asset
Answer:
$574,517
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Jasperse will record a right-of-use asset
Annual payments = $90,000
Annual maintenance = $5,000 per year
Rate of interest = 10%
Period, n = 10 years
Right of use asset =(90,000 – 5,000) x PVAD, 10%, 10
Right of use asset= 85,000 ×6.75902
Right of use asset= $574,517

Lemon Corporation generated $324,600 of income from ordinary business operations. It also sold several assets during the year. Compute Lemon’s taxable income under each of the following alternative assumptions about the tax consequences of the asset sales.
a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.
b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.
c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.
d.Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.
Answer:
a. Lemon’s taxable income = $322,700
b. Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600
c. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,200
d. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,400
Explanation:
Before the questions are answered, the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules are quoted as follows:
- If you have a net section 1231 loss, it is an ordinary loss.
- If you have a net section 1231 gain, it is ordinary income up to the amount of your unrecaptured section 1231 losses from previous years. The rest, if any, is a long-term capital gain.
Therefore, net section 1231 loss which is an ordinary loss is deducted from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.
Also, we describe the following:
Taxable income can be described as the amount of income that is employed to calculated the amount of tax that is payable to the government by an individual or a company in a particular tax year. It is obtained after making all required additions and allowable deductions.
Capital gain can be described as an increase in the value of a capital asset which is realized when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital gain is added to the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.
Capital loss can be described as a decrease in the value of a capital asset which is recognised when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital loss is deducted from the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.
We therefore proceed as follows:
a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.
From the question, we have the following:
Income from ordinary business operations = $324,600
Capital gain recognised = $5,500
Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $7,400
Based on the explanation provided above, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:
Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Capital gain recognised - Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $324,600 + $5,500 - $7,400 = $322,700
b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.
From the question, there is nothing related past five years stated and it is therefore assumed that there is no net section 1231 loss in the past five years.
As result, the total of $4,700 net Section 1231 gain is regarded as a capital gain and it is set-off against the $6,500 capital loss as follows to obtain the non-deductible expense as follows:
Non-deductible expense = $6,500 - $4,700 = $1,800
Since there is nothing deductible again, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore equal to the income from ordinary business operations of $324,600. That is,
Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600
c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.
Since no net section 1231 loss in the past five years is indicated here, the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain will be treated as a long-term capital gain.
Based on the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above, non-deductible expense is calculated by deducting the $3,900 capital loss to the extent of the $2,500 capital gain as follows:
Non-deductible expense = $3,900 - $2,500 = $1,400
Since the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain has to be treated as a long-term capital gain, the $1,400 will be deducted from it obtain the net capital gain as follows:
Net capital gain = $3000 - $1400 = $1600
Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated by adding the $1,600 net capital gain to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations as follows:
Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600 + $1600 = $326,200
d. Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.
We have the following:
Section 1231 loss = $4,200
Section 1231 gain = $2,000
Therefore, we have:
Net section 1231 loss = Section 1231 loss - Section 1231 gain = $4,200 - 2,000 = $2,200
This net section 1231 loss of $2,200 is therefore treated as ordinary loss as already stated in the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above and deducted from the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.
In addition, the depreciation recapture of $4,000 will be treated as ordinary income and it will be added to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.
Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:
Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Depreciation recapture - Net section 1231 loss = $324,600 + $4,000 - $2,200 = $326,400
For a program to be successful, readiness for training should be assessed on two dimensions: employee characteristics and work environment. The employee characteristics that are relevant to training are the ability to learn the subject matter, attitudes toward training, and motivation to learn. Even if these are present, however, training will not be effective unless there is a positive work environment—an environment that encourages learning and eliminates obstacles for trainee success.
An important characteristic of employee readiness is having basic learning skills, especially cognitive ability that includes using written and spoken language, solving math problems, and using logic to solve problems. If employees lack certain basic skills, they may have to attend some remedial classes before participating in job-related training. Seeing potential benefits from training programs may increase employee motivation to participate. Readiness for training also depends on work environment characteristics called situational constraints and social support. Constraints can include the limits of training's effectiveness from within the organization, such as lack of money or lack of time for training and practicing. Social support refers to the ways that the organization encourages training by expressing positive attitudes toward its training programs. The goal of this activity is to evaluate employee readiness for training.

Kim is trying to decide whether she can afford a loan she needs in order to go to chiropractic school. Right now Kim is living at home and works in a shoe store, earning a gross income of $1,760 per month. Her employer deducts $199 for taxes from her monthly pay. Kim also pays $189 on several credit card debts each month. The loan she needs for chiropractic school will cost an additional $172 per month. Help Kim make her decision by calculating her debt payments-to-income ratio with and without the college loan.
Required:
a. Carl’s house payment is $1,640 per month and his car payment is $482 per month. If Carl's take-home pay is $3,250 per month, what percentage does Carl spend on his home and car?
b. Suppose that your monthly net income is $2,850. Your monthly debt payments include your student loan payment and a gas credit card. They total $1,140. What is your debt payments-to-income ratio?
Answer:
1. Kim:
Debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan
= 23%
2. Carl:
Percentage spent on home and car
= 65.3%
3. Debt payment to income ratio
= 40%
Explanation:
Kim's Data and Calculations:
Gross income = $1,760
Income taxes -199
After Tax Income $1,561 per month
Credit card debts = $189 per month
School loan = $172 per month
Total Debt payments = $361
Debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan
= $361/$1,561 = 23%
Carl:
House payment = $1,640
Car payment = $482
Total payments = $2,122
Take-home pay = $3,250
Percentage spent on home and car = 65.3% ($2,122/$3,250 * 100)
3. My monthly net income = $2,850
Monthly debt payments = $1,140
Debt payment to income ratio
= $1,140/$2,850 * 100
= 0.4
= 40%
You have just been hired as a financial analyst for Barrington Industries. Unfortunately, company headquarters (where all of the firm's records are kept) has been destroyed by fire. So, your first job will be to recreate the firm's cash flow statement for the year just ended. The firm had $100,000 in the bank at the end of the prior year, and its working capital accounts except cash remained constant during the year. It earned $5 million in net income during the year but paid $750,000 in dividends to common shareholders. Throughout the year, the firm purchased $5.4 million of machinery that was needed for a new project. You have just spoken to the firm's accountants and learned that annual depreciation expense for the year is $450,000; however, the purchase price for the machinery represents additions to property, plant, and equipment before depreciation. Finally, you have determined that the only financing done by the firm was to issue long-term debt of $1 million at a 5% interest rate. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the question below.
What was the firm's end-of-year cash balance? Recreate the firm's cash flow statement to arrive at your answer. Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary.
Answer:
200,000
Explanation:
A cash flow statement is a financial statement that summarizes the amount of cash and cash equivalents entering and leaving a company.

Triec, Inc., is a small electrical contracting company in Springfield, Ohio, owned by its executives Yeazell, Jones, and Heaton. Employees contacted the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which began an organizing drive, and 6 of the 11 employees in the bargaining unit signed authorization cards. The company declined to recognize the union, which petitioned the NLRB to schedule an election. The company then granted several new benefits for all workers, including higher wages, paid vacations, and other measures. When the election was held, only 2 of the 11 bargaining unit members voted for the union. Did the company violate the NLRA?
Answer:
Triec, inc., violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) because it directly interfered with the organization of a union within the company.
The NLRA allows private employees to join or form a union, and the company cannot interfere in any of these. E.g. a company cannot fire or punish in any way an employee for joining a union. A company cannot interfere with the creation of a union.
In this case, the company granted the new benefits in order to convince its workers to not form the union.
Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator.
The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the____________________ using by_____________________________ the using___________ and multiplying by 100. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services .
Indicate whether each scenario will affect the GDP deflator or the CPI for the United States.
a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers.
b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers.
Answer:
1. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using this year's prices by the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year using the base year's prices and multiplying by 100.
However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by consumers.
2. a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers. Affects CPI.
This affects CPI because the CPI reflects only the prices of goods and services purchased by customers.
b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers. Affects GDP Deflator.
This is a good produced in the United States so it will affect the GDP Deflator as that deals with GDP.

Porter theorizes that the four attributes in his diamond model may promote or impede the creation of competitive advantage. Factor endowments are a nation's position in factors of production such as skilled labor or infrastructure necessary to compete in a given industry. Demand conditions are the nature of home demand for the industry's product or service. Related and supporting industries are the presence or absence of supplier industries and related industries that are internationally competitive. Firm strategy, structure, and rivalry are the conditions governing how companies are created, organized, and managed and the nature of domestic rivalry.
Required:
What is the most appropriate attribute of national competive advaritage from Porter's theory?
Explanation:
The most appropriate attribute of the national competitive advantage of Porter's theory is factor endowments.
This attribute corresponds to the one that can most significantly impact the competitive position that a company will have in the market, as it refers to the conditions that a company will have to develop its essential factors such as labor, technology, capital, etc., these factors being totally influenced by the local economy and its favorable conditions for the flow of business.
For this reason, it is necessary to have government incentives for public and private companies through the development of economic policies that favor the competitiveness of companies and the improvement of their factors, increasing their quality and efficiency.
Sherrie, a member, performs various bookkeeping functions for her very small closely held clients including posting cash receipts and disbursements to the client's general ledger. The client provides Sherrie with copies of check stubs and deposit slips where the client has provided account codes that Sherrie merely records in the general ledger. In addition, on a monthly basis, Sherrie calculates adjusting journal entries for depreciation, amortization, and tax accruals and posts these entries to the client's general ledger. Which of the following statements is true regarding Sherrie's independence with regard to these bookkeeping clients?
a. Sherrie's posting of client coded cash receipts and disbursements does not impair independence.
b. Sherrie's posting of adjusting journal entries does not impair independence whether or not she discusses them withthe client because these are routine accounting entries that small clients do not understand.
c. Neither of the described functions would impair independence under any circumstances.
d. None of the above statements is true.
Answer:
b. Sherrie's posting of adjusting journal entries does not impair independence whether or not she discusses them with the client because these are routine accounting entries that small clients do not understand.
Explanation:
This is likely the answer to the question asked about Sherrie's independence and the bookkeeping.
The statement which is true regarding Sherrie's independence with regard to these bookkeeping clients is:
B. Sherrie's posting of adjusting journal entries does not impair independence whether or not she discusses them with the client because these are routine accounting entries that small clients do not understand.Based on the given question, we can see that Sherrie is a bookkeeper who does her job of posting cash receipts and making disbursements and also the check stubs and monthly adjusting of journals.
WIth this in mind, impaired independence has to do with the responsibility which a bookkeeper takes with regards of the records of the client and her posting of journal entries does not impair independence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option
