Answer:
2.91
Explanation:
Turnover = Total sales / Average operating assets
Turnover = $20,660,000 / $7,100,000
Turnover = 2.909859154929577
Turnover = 2.91
So therefore, Uvaqil353's turnover is closest to 2.91
Pfizer Inc., a pharmaceutical company, reported Net income for fiscal 2007 of $8,144 million, Retained earnings at the start of the year of $49,669 million and dividends of $8,153 million. If there were no other transactions during the year that affected retained earnings, what was the balance of retained earnings at the end of the year
Answer:
$49,660 million
Explanation:
The computation of retained earnings at the end of the year is shown below;
= Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividends
Given that;
Beginning retained earnings = $49,669 million
Net income = $8,144million
Dividend = $8,153
Balance of retained earnings at the end of the year
= $49,669 + $8,144 - $8,153
= $49,660 million
Sigma Corporation applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. Job V, which was started and completed during the current period, shows charges of $5,000 for direct materials, $8,000 for direct labor, and $6,000 for overhead on its job cost sheet. Job W, which is still in process at year-end, shows charges of $2,500 for direct materials and $4,000 for direct labor.
Required:
Calculate the overhead cost be added to Job W at year-end
Answer:
$3,000
Explanation:
Predetermined Overhead rate = Total estimated overhead cost / Allocation base
Predetermined Overhead rate = Total estimated overhead cost/Total estimated labor cost * 100
Predetermined Overhead rate = 6,000/8,000 * 100
Predetermined Overhead rate = 0.75 * 100
Predetermined Overhead rate = 75%
Overhead cost to be added to Job W at the year-end = Direct labor cost for Job W * Predetermined overhead rate = $4,000 * 75% = $3,000
A small producer of machine tools wants to move to a larger building, and has identified two alternatives. Location A has annual fixed costs of $150,000 and variable costs of $20,000 per unit; location B has annual fixed costs of $350,000 and variable costs of $18,000 per unit. The finished items sell for $22,000 each. a. At what volume of output would the two locations have the same total cost
Answer: 100 units
Explanation:
Assume the volume of output where the two locations have the same total cost is x.
Volume is;
150,000 + 20,000x = 350,000 + 18,000x
20,000x - 18,000x = 350,000 - 150,000
2,000x = 200,000
x = 200,000 / 2,000
x = 100 units

Ruggles Circuit Company manufactures circuit boards for other firms. Management is attempting to search for ways to reduce manufacturing labor costs and has received a proposal from a consulting company to rearrange the production floor next year. Using the information below regarding current operations and the new proposal, which of the following decisions should management accept? Currently ProposedRequired machine operators 5 4.5Materials-handling workers 1.25 1.25Employee average pay $8 per hour $9 per hourHours worked per employee 2,100 2,000A) Do not change the production floor.B) Rearrange the production floor.C) Either, because it makes no difference to the employees.D) It doesn't matter because the costs incurred will remain the same.
Answer:
B) Rearrange the production floor.
Explanation:
First step is to calculate the manufacturing labor costs for the Current operations and new proposal
Calculation for the manufacturing labor costs for the Current operations
Current operations manufacturing labor costs =5 workers * 2,100 hours * $8.00
Current operations manufacturing labor costs = $84,000
Calculation for the manufacturing labor costs for the new proposal
New Proposal manufacturing labor costs=4.5 workers *2,000 hours * $9.00
New Proposal manufacturing labor costs = $81,000
Based on the above calculation the decisions that the management should accept is to REARRANGE THE PRODUCTION FLOOR if they want to reduce the company manufacturing labor costs reason been that the manufacturing LABOR COSTS for the current operations is $84,000 which means it is higher than the manufacturing LABOR COST for the new proposal which is $81,000
Therefore the management should REARRANGE THE PRODUCTION FLOOR because with the new proposal manufacturing labor costs will reduce.
The standard costs and actual costs for direct materials for the manufacture of 3,000 actual units of product are as follows: Standard Costs Direct materials 1,040 kilograms at $8.75 Actual Costs Direct materials 2,000 kilograms at $8.00 The direct materials price variance is a.$2,750 favorable b.$2,750 unfavorable c.$1,500 unfavorable d.$1,500 favorable
Answer:
$2,250 favorable
Explanation:
The direct material price variance is computed as;
= ( Standard price - Actual price ) × Actual quantity
Given that;
Standard price = $8.75
Actual price = $8
Actual quantity = 3,000 units
Direct material price variance
= ( $8.75 - $8 ) × 3,000
= ( $0.75 ) × 3,000
= $2,250 favorable
At the beginning of its fiscal year, the Town of Harmon estimates that its revenues for street maintenance activities are $100,000, and it appropriates $90,000 forstreet maintenance supplies. It currently has outstanding encumbrances for street maintenance supplies of $40,000 and has incurred expenditures for street maintenance supplies of $30,000. How much does the Town of Harmon currently have available to spend for street maintenance supplies
Answer:
The amount that the Town of Harmon currently have available to spend for street maintenance supplies is $20,000.
Explanation:
From the question, we can obtain the following:
Amount appropriated for street maintenance supplies = $90,000
Outstanding encumbrances for street maintenance supplies = $40,000
Expenditures incurred for street maintenance supplies = $30,000
Therefore, we have:
Amount currently available to spend for street maintenance supplies = Amount appropriated for street maintenance supplies - Outstanding encumbrances for street maintenance supplies - Expenditures incurred for street maintenance supplies = $90,000 - $40,000 - $30,000 = $20,000
Therefore, the amount that the Town of Harmon currently have available to spend for street maintenance supplies is $20,000.
Yanita Company, an IFRS reporting firm, has three bank accounts. The respective account balances are as follows: Account 1: $50,000; Account 2: $70,000; Account 3: $(10,000). Consistent with IFRS, cash and cash equivalents are equal to:
Answer:
Consistent with IFRS, cash and cash equivalents are equal to:
$110,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Account 1: $50,000
Account 2: $70,000
Account 3: $(10,000)
Total $110,000
b) Yanita's cash and cash equivalents are the assets that are cash or can be converted into cash immediately, which include bank accounts and marketable securities such as commercial paper and short-term government bonds. Under IFRS, cash and cash equivalents also include bank overdrafts, which are recorded under current liabilities on the Balance Sheet. However, under US GAAP, bank overdrafts are not treated as part of the cash and cash equivalents. This implies that under US GAAP, Yanita's cash and cash equivalents would be totaling $120,000.
Suppose labour is available to a firm at a cost of $ 15per hour. Also, suppose that employing another hour of labour adds 3 units to output, and any amount of output can be sold for $10 per unit.
To the nearest dollar, an additional hour of labour would add $___
nothing in additional revenue to the firm. Your answer should be a whole number.
Answer:
$30
Explanation:
Additional hour gives 3 units of output. Each is sold for $10. The total revenue for the additional labour hour would be 3 units x $10 for each.
=$10 x 3
=$30
Sheridan Company purchased a depreciable asset for $567000. The estimated salvage value is $29000, and the estimated useful life is 10000 hours. Carson used the asset for 1700 hours in the current year. The activity method will be used for depreciation. What is the depreciation expense on this asset in the current year
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $91,460
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $567,000
Salvage value= $29,000
Useful life in hours= 10,000
To calculate the depreciation per year using the activity method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in hours]*hours operated
Annual depreciation= [(567,000 - 29,000) / 10,000]*1,700
Annual depreciation= 53.8*1,700
Annual depreciation= $91,460
Dean has earned $75,000 annually for the past seven years working as an architect for WCC Incorporated Under WCC's defined benefit plan (which uses a seven-year graded vesting schedule) employees earn a benefit equal to 4.5 percent of the average of their three highest annual salaries for every full year of service with WCC. Dean has worked for seven full years for WCC and his vesting percentage is 99 percent. What is Dean's vested benefit (or annual retirement benefit he has earned so far)
Answer:
$23,388.75
Explanation:
Calculation for Dean's vested benefit
Dean's vested benefit =$75,000 x (4.5% x 7 years) x 99%
Dean's vested benefit =$75,000×0.315×99%
Dean's vested benefit =$23,388.75
Therefore Dean's vested benefit will be $23,388.75
n the theory of perfect competition, the assumptions of many buyers and sellers, the production of a homogeneous product, and the possession of all relevant information by buyers and sellers imply that the perfectly competitive firm a. has a demand curve that is perfectly inelastic. b. has a demand curve that is perfectly elastic. c. sets the price it wishes. d. has a demand curve that is downward sloping
Answer:
b. has a demand curve that is perfectly elastic. c. sets the price it wishes
Explanation:
Elasticity of demand is a measure of the degree of change in quantity demanded to changes in price.
For a perfectly elastic demand it means that an infinite quantity of a product will be required by consumers at a particular price. The perfectly elastic demand curve is usually horizontal.
In perfectly competitive markets elasticity of demand is perfectly elastic because there are many buyers and sellers, production of a homogeneous product, and the possession of all relevant information by buyers and sellers.
So prices between products tend to be the same
Assume that President Trump develops an executive agreement with Russia this month, which will reduce taxes on imports from the country as way to promote cordial international business interests. This executive agreement is directly in conflict with a foreign tax treaty issued by Congress in May of last year. Assuming the president has the power to develop this agreement what is the likely outcome? A. The congressional treaty is discriminatory on its face and will be deemed unconstitutional B. The President's order will supercede the congressional treaty C. The President's order is in direct conflict with Congress' enumerated powers to tax and therefore will be struck down D. The congressional treaty will be upheld
Answer:
C. The President's order is in direct conflict with Congress' enumerated powers to tax and therefore will be struck down
Explanation:
An executive agreement supersedes state's law, but it cannot supersede federal laws or treaties enacted by congress. The president does not need the senate's approval for an executive agreement, but it cannot go against a treaty that was established by congress. The foreign tax treaty that was approved by congress is legally binding.
If two identifiable markets differ with respect to their price elasticity of demand and resale is impossible, a firm with market power will Group of answer choices Set price equal to marginal cost in both markets. Set price so as to equate the elasticity of demand across markets. Set a higher price in the market that is more elastic. Set a lower price in the market that is more price elastic.
Answer: Set a lower price in the market that is more price elastic.
Explanation:
It would be in the best interest of the firm with market power to set a lower price if the market is more price elastic.
Price elasticity is the measure of how much quantity demanded changes in response to a change in price.
If the firm with market power sets a lower price in a market that is more price elastic, it can expect that the quantity demanded will increase more which can give a higher profit.
Suppose that you invest $100 today in a risk-free investment and let the 6 percent annual interest rate compound. What will be the value of your investment 6 years from now?
Solution :
It is given that :
Amount of investment or the principle amount , P = $ 100
Time of investment , t = 6 years
Rate of interest compounded annually r = 6 %
Therefore the future amount of this investment in a 6 year time is given by,
[tex]$FV=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t[/tex]
[tex]$FV=100(1+\frac{6}{100})^6[/tex]
[tex]$FV=100(1+0.06)^6[/tex]
[tex]$FV= 100 (1.4185)$[/tex]
[tex]$FV=141$[/tex]
Therefore, after 6 years the investment of $ 100 will give an amount of $ 141.

Credit Sale of Equipment $20,000
To record the cash received from the sale.
Debit Profit and Loss Account $14,400
Credit Sales of Equipment $14,400
To record the loss on sale of equipment.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of computer equipment = $65,000
Estimated residual value = 3,800
Depreciable value = $61,200
Estimated useful life = 8 years
Annual depreciation expense = $7,650 ($61,200/8) or $61,200 * 12.5%
Depreciable cost = $61,200 ($65,000 - $3,800)
Straight-line rate = 12.5% (100%/8)
Double-declining rate = 12.5% x 2 = 25%
Depreciation amount for the 1st year = $15,300 ($61,200 * 25%)
Book value of asset at the end of the 4th year, straight-line method:
Cost of equipment = $65,000
Accumulated Depreciation = $30,600 ($7,650 * 4)
Book value = $34,400
Sales proceed = $20,000
Loss on sale of asset = $14,400 ($34,400 - $20,000)
Vega Enterprises has computed the following unit costs for the year just ended: Direct material used $12 Direct labor 18 Variable manufacturing overhead 25 Fixed manufacturing overhead 29 Variable selling and administrative cost 10 Fixed selling and administrative cost 17 Under absorption costing, each unit of the company's inventory would be carried at: $84.

Unitary cost= 12 + 18 + 25 + 29
Unitary cost= $84
International trade is the subject of much debate. Many economist favor encouraging international trade, citing the benefits gained by trade. However, there are economic arguments for limiting international trade with protectionism. Classify the given statements into the appropriate category. Arguments for promoting international trade Arguments for limiting international trade with protectionism
Answer:
the arguments are missing, so I looked for similar questions and found:
The ability of a nation to consume more than it can produce domestically. ⇒ ARGUMENT FOR PROMOTING INTERNATIONAL TRADE. Excess production should be exported. The infant industry argument. ⇒ ARGUMENT FOR LIMITING INTERNATIONAL TRADE WITH PROTECTIONISM. Certain new industries should be protected until they mature and become leaders. Changes in productivity associated with specialization. ⇒ ARGUMENT FOR PROMOTING INTERNATIONAL TRADE. As specialization occurs, production output increases allowing for trade benefits. The potential for other governments to subsidize firms, enabling them to charge lower prices than domestic firms can. ⇒ ARGUMENT FOR LIMITING INTERNATIONAL TRADE WITH PROTECTIONISM. Since other countries subsidize their exports, we should impose tariffs to level the market. The national defense/interest argument. ⇒ ARGUMENT FOR LIMITING INTERNATIONAL TRADE WITH PROTECTIONISM. Some sectors are important and should be protected. Job loss in some labor markets. / Worries about domestic labor markets. ⇒ ARGUMENT FOR LIMITING INTERNATIONAL TRADE WITH PROTECTIONISM. Imported goods result in people losing their jobs.In one hour of labor input, South Korea can produce either 100 computer chips or 50 bed linens.

In terms of dividend payment procedures, the payment date refers to the date: Group of answer choices upon which the stock pays an extra dividend. on which the firm actually sends the dividend to investors. on which the right to the current dividend no longer accompanies the stock. on which a firm's board of directors issues a statement declaring the dividend.
Answer:
In terms of dividend payment procedures, the payment date refers to the date:
on which the firm actually sends the dividend to investors.
Explanation:
There are three dates with regard to the payment of dividends. The first date is the declaration date when the board of directors of the company decides to pay the dividends to stockholders. The second date is the date of record when the records are checked to establish the stockholders entitled to receive dividends. The last is the payment date when actual payment of the dividend is made to the investors through the issue of dividend warrants or certificates.
An overstatement of inventory account on the financial statements means that the __________ account on the financial statements is understated. g
Answer: Cost of Gods Sold
Explanation:
The Cost of Goods sold in the income statement is calculated thus;
= Opening inventory + Purchases - Closing stock
Looking at the formula above, one can see that closing stock reduces the Cost of Goods sold. If inventory is therefore overstated, it would reduce Cost of Goods sold more than it should which would result in the Cost of Goods sold being understated.
Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next nine years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth. The company will pay a dividend of $14 per share 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 8 percent per year thereafter. If the required return on this stock is 14 percent, what is the current share price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
the current price of the stock is $71.75
Explanation:
The computation of the current stock price is shown below:
Price at year 9 is
= Dividend ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)
= $14 ÷ (14 - 8%)
= $233.33
Now the current price of the stock is
= Price at year 9 ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^number of years
= $233.33 ÷ (1 + 0.14)^9
= $71.75
Hence, the current price of the stock is $71.75
