Answer: a.may increase while conversion costs decrease because the two are separately calculated and depend on separate costs.
Explanation:
When the cost of production report is being used to analyze change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit when compared to the conversion cost per equivalent unit, we should note that an investigation may end up showing that the fluctuation in the the direct materials costs which then brings about an increase or a decrease.
Therefore, the correct option is A "may increase while conversion costs decrease because the two are separately calculated and depend on separate costs".
Elbert Company classifies its selling and administrative expense budget into variable and fixed components. Variable expenses are expected to be $26,770 in the first quarter, and $5,240 increments are expected in the remaining quarters of 2020. Fixed expenses are expected to be $41,680 in each quarter. Prepare the selling and administrative expense budget by quarters and in total for 2020.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable expense= $26,770 ($5,240 increase each quarter)
Fixed expense= $41,680
First, we will calculate the total cost per quarter:
Q1= 26,770 + 41,680
Q1= $68,450
Q2= (26,770 + 5,240) + 41,680
Q2= $73,690
Q3= (32,010 + 5,240) + 41,680
Q3= $78,930
Q4= (37,250 + 5,240) + 41,680
Q4= $84,170
Now, the total cost:
Total annual cost= $305,240

Carter Corporation's partial income statement after its first year of operations is as follows: Income before income taxes $3,750,000 Income tax expense Current $1,035,000 Deferred 90,000 1,125,000 Net income $2,625,000 Carter uses the straight-line method of depreciation for financial reporting purposes and accelerated depreciation for tax purposes. The amount charged to depreciation expense on its books this year was $2,400,000. No other differences existed between book income and taxable income except for the amount of depreciation. Assuming a 20% tax rate, what amount was deducted for depreciation on the corporation's tax return for the current year
Answer: $2,850,000
Explanation:
The amount was deducted for depreciation on the corporation's tax return for the current year will be calculated as:
Defered income tax = $90,000
Tax rate = 20%
We will calculate the difference between the book income and the taxable income which will be:
= $90000 ÷ 20%
= $90000 × 100/20
= $90000 × 5
= $450000
Therefore, the amount that was deducted for depreciation on the corporation's tax return for the current year will be:
= $2,400,000 + $450,000
= $2,850,000

Islander Inc. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company would be paying $2.50 in dividend next year. After that the company intends to grow the dividend at a 8% rate annually over a long period. You plan to buy the stock now and expect to sell it for $48.23 three years from now. What price must you pay now if your required rate of return is 10%
Answer: $42.93
Explanation:
To solve this question goes thus:
Year 1:
Cash flow = $2.50
PV at 10% = 0.9091
Present value = $2.27
Year 2:
Cash flow = $2.70
PV at 10% = 0.8264
Present value = $2.23
Year 3:
Cash flow = $2.92
PV at 10% = 0.7513
Present value = $2.19
Price at Year 3:
Cash flow = $48.23
PV at 10% = 0.7513
Present value = $36.24
Price to be paid = $2.27 + $2.23 + $2.19 + $36.24 = $42.93
The Sisyphean Company is planning on investing in a new project. This will involve the purchase of some new machinery costing $400,000. The Sisyphean Company expects cash inflows from this project as detailed below: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 $157,452.975 / $157,452.975/ $157,452.975/ $157,452.975 The appropriate discount rate for this project is 15%. The internal rate of return (IRR) for this project is closest to ________.
Answer:
21%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-400,000.
Cash flow in year 1 - 4 = $157,452.975
IRR = 21%
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
In this exhibit (Simultaneous Shifts in Demand and Supply), D1 and S1 are original supply and demand curves, and S2 and D2 are new curves. In this market, the change in supply may have resulted from: Select one: a. wage increases for the workers. b. an improvement in technology. c. a decrease in the number of sellers. d. all of the above.
Answer:
Simultaneous Shifts in Demand and Supply
In this market, the change in supply may have resulted from:
b. an improvement in technology.
Explanation:
An improvement in technology is the only correct option that can cause the change in supply from S1 to S2. Wage increases for the workers increase the cost of production, which can decrease sales volume. Similarly, a decrease in the number of sellers will most likely reduce sales volume instead of increasing it.
A municipal power plant uses natural gas from an existing pipeline at an annual cost of $10,000 per year. A new pipeline would initially cost $35,000, but it would reduce the annual cost to $4000 per year. Assume an analysis period of 20 years and no salvage value for either pipeline. The interest rate is 7%. Using the equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC), should the new pipeline be built
Answer: EUAC of new pipeline of $7,303.75 is less than the $10,000 of old pipeline so new pipeline should be built.
Explanation:
Equivalent Uniform Annual cost can be calculated as:
= Reduction in annual cost + (Initial Cost/ Present value interest factor of annuity, 7%, 20 years)
= 4,000 + (35,000 / 10.5940)
= 4,000 + 3,303.75
= $7,303.75
Why were metal Coins suitable by then
Answer:
The coinage metals comprise, at a minimum, those metallic chemical elements which have historically been used as components in alloys used to mint coins. The term is not perfectly defined, however, since a number of metals have been used to make "demonstration coins" which have never been used to make monetized coins for any nation-state, but could be. Some of these elements would make excellent coins in theory (for example, zirconium), but their status as coin metals is not clear. In general, because of problems caused when coin metals are intrinsically valuable as commodities, there has been a trend in the 21st century toward use of coinage metals of only the least exotic and expensive types.

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.

The product life-cycle theory: Select one: a. was a strong predictor of trade patterns during the 1800s. b. was useful for explaining the pattern of trade during the brief period of American global dominance. c. proved to be a poor explanation of world trade patterns during the 1960s and 1970s. d. remains a relevant theory of explaining international trade in the modern world.
Answer:
b. was useful for explaining the pattern of trade during the brief period of American global dominance.
Explanation:
A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.
Generally, there are four (4) stages in the product-life cycle;
1. Introduction.
2. Growth.
3. Maturity.
4. Decline.
The theory of product life cycle asserts that all the raw materials or parts and the labour used for the manufacturing of the product must come from the specific location or area wherein it was produced for optimum profit.
Hence, the product life-cycle theory was useful for explaining the pattern of trade during the brief period of American global dominance.
John received a promotion at work and felt new clothes would be necessary in the new position. John went to a local store and charged three ties on his charge account at a cost of $60 each. Bill, a friend of John's, saw a sidewalk vendor selling ties at a cost of three for $10 and bought three at that price. The friends compared purchases that night and found that they had purchased identical ties. John became enraged and said that he would not pay the charge-account bill because the ties were clearly not worth $60 each. Bill indicated that he would testify on John's behalf if litigation ensued. What would be the probable outcome of the lawsuit
Answer:
John will lose the lawsuit
Explanation:
Businesses have a right to set the price of their products, and when the customers considers the price and agrees with it the deal is sealed.
In the given scenario John made the purchase at $60 per tie and he was satisfied with the sale at point of purchase.
He only became enraged when Bill told him he bought his identical ties at $10.
John will lose a lawsuit of he fails to pay the charge-account bill because he willingly agreed to the $60 per tie price.
As a result of a thorough physical inventory, Sheridan Company determined that it had inventory worth $320800 at December 31, 2020. This count did not take into consideration the following facts: Herschel Consignment currently has goods worth $46300 on its sales floor that belong to Sheridan but are being sold on consignment by Herschel. The selling price of these goods is $74900. Sheridan purchased $22000 of goods that were shipped on December 27, FOB destination, that will be received by Sheridan on January 3. Determine the correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report.
Answer:
Sheridan Company
The correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report is:
= $367,100
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 31 Inventory based on physical inventory = $320,800
Goods held on consignment by Herschel = 46,300
December 27, FOB destination goods ($22,000) 0
Correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report $367,100
b) Goods on consignment are generally the property of the consignor (supplier) and not the consignee's (retailer's). Therefore, they must appear in the balance sheet of the consignor. Goods on FOB destination remain the property of the supplier until they reach the buyer's destination. This is why it is not included above.
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
Dry-Sand Company is considering investing in a new project. The project will need an initial investment of $1,200,000 and will generate $600,000 (after-tax) cash flows for three years. However, at the end of the fourth year, the project will generate -$500,000 of after-tax cash flow due to dismantling costs. Calculate the MIRR (modified internal rate of return) for the project if the cost of capital is 15 percent. The reinvestment rate is 12 percent. Multiple Choice 20.4 percent 11.5 percent 28.2 percent 12.6 percent
Answer:
12.6 percent
Explanation:
The First Step is to Calculate the Terminal Value at end of year 4.
Terminal Value (FV) = Sum of (PV x (1 + r) ^ 4 - n)
= $600,000 x (1.15) ^ 3 + $600,000 x (1.15) ^ 2 + $600,000 x (1.15) ^ 1 - $500,000 x (1.15) ^ 0
= $912,525 + $793,500 + $690,000 - $500,000
= $1,896,025
The Next Step is to Calculate the MIRR using CFj Function of a Financial Calculator :
($1,200,000) CFj
0 CFj
0 CFj
0 CFj
$1,896,025 CFj
Now, Shift IRR/Yr we get 12.60 %
Therefore, the MIRR is 12.60 %.
Your company is estimated to make dividends payments of $2.1 next year, $3.6 the year after, and $4.2 in the year after that. The dividends will then grow at a constant rate of 6% per year. If the discount rate is 9% then what is the current stock price
Answer:
P0 = $122.79185 rounded off to $122.79
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so ong is the constant growth rate in dividendsr is the discount rateP0 = 2.1 / (1+0.09) + 3.6 / (1+0.09)^2 + 4.2 / (1+0.09)^3 +
[(4.2 * (1+0.06) / (0.09 - 0.06)) / (1+0.09)^3]
P0 = $122.79185 rounded off to $122.79
Multipoint pricing occurs when a company buys products at a cheaper rate in one country to sell at a higher price in another country. allows markets to determine the pricing of a product. aggressively prices in one market to elicit a competitive response from a rival in another market. prices its products at a loss in order to drive out competitors from the market. prices two similar products at low and high prices in order to boost sales of the lower priced products.
Answer:
aggressively prices in one market to elicit a competitive response from a rival in another market.
Explanation:
Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services.
In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.
One of the importance associated with the pricing of products is that, it improves the image of a business firm.
Multipoint pricing occurs when a company aggressively prices in one market to elicit a competitive response from a rival in another market.
This ultimately implies that, a company's pricing strategy in one market is likely to impact the pricing strategy of its rival in another market.

Velocity, a consulting firm, enters into a contract to help Burger Boy, a fast-food restaurant, design a marketing strategy to compete with Burger King. The contract spans eight months. Burger Boy promises to pay $93,000 at the end of each month. At the end of the contract, Velocity either will give Burger Boy a refund of $31,000 or will be entitled to an additional $31,000 bonus, depending on whether sales at Burger Boy at year-end have increased to a target level. At the inception of the contract, Velocity estimates an 80% chance that it will earn the $31,000 bonus and calculates the contract price based on the expected value of future payments to be received. At the start of the fifth month, circumstances change, and Velocity revises to 60% its estimate of the probability that it will earn the bonus. At the end of the contract, Velocity receives the additional consideration of $31,000. At the end of the contract, Velocity receives the additional consideration of $29,000.
Required:
a. Prepare the journal entry to record revenue each month for the first four months of the contract.
b. Prepare the journal entry that the Velocity Company would record after four months to recognize the change in estimate associated with the reduced likelihood that the bonus will be received.
c. Prepare the journal entry to record the revenue each month for the second four months of the contract.
d. Prepare the journal entry after eight months to record receipt of the cash bonus.
Answer:
a. Accounts Receivable (Dr.) $93,000
Bonus Receivable (Dr.) $2,325
Service Revenue (Cr.) $95,325
b. Service Revenue (Dr.) $9,300
Bonus receivable (Cr.) $9,300
c. Accounts Receivable (Dr.) $93,775
Bonus Receivable (Dr.) $775
Service Revenue (Cr.) $93,000
d. Cash (Dr.) $29,000
Bonus Receivable (Cr.) $29,000
Explanation:
The contract between Burger Boy and Velocity is for eight months.
Expected value of the contract on 1st month is :
80% * [ $93,000 * 8 months + $31,000 ] + 20% [ $93,000 * 8 months - $31,000] = $762,600
The expected value per month is $762,600 / 8 months = $95,325 per month
Expected value of the contract 5th month with revised probability is :
60% * [ $93,000 * 8 months + $31,000 ] + 40% [ $93,000 * 8 months - $31,000] = $750,200
The expected value per month is $750,200 / 8 months = $93,775 per month.
Strongheart Enterprises anticipated selling 27,000 units of a major product and paying sales commissions of $6 per unit. Actual sales and sales commissions totaled 27,500 units and $171,400, respectively. If the company used a flexible budget for performance evaluations, Strongheart would report a cost variance of: Multiple Choice $6,400F. $9,400F. None of the answers is correct. $9,400U. $6,400U.
Answer:
Flexible budget cost variance= $6,400 unfavorable
Explanation:
To calculate the flexible budget cost variance, we need to use the following formula:
Flexible budget cost variance= (standard costs*actual quantity) - actual costs
Flexible budget cost variance= (6*27,500) - 171,400
Flexible budget cost variance= 165,000 - 171,400
Flexible budget cost variance= $6,400 unfavorable
Select the true statement about default risk. It is the risk that the bond's price will fall below its par value. Bondholders have a degree of legal protection against default risk, but it is not comprehensive. Default risk relates to a bond's periodic coupon payments, but not to its maturity payment. Bondholders are guaranteed to be repaid in full if a company enters bankruptcy.
Answer:
Bondholders have a degree of legal protection against default risk, but it is not comprehensive.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.
The par value of a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid. Thus, a bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.
In Economics, bonds could either be issued at discount or premium. A bond that is being issued at a discount has its stated rate lower than the market interest rate, on the specific date of issuance while a bond that is issued at a premium, has its stated rate higher than the market interest rate on the specific date of issuance.
Default risk in bonds refer to the risk that a bond issuer (borrower) is unable to pay the principal or interest agreed upon in the contract with the bondholder (lender) in a timely manner.
Hence, the true statement about default risk is that bondholders have a degree of legal protection against default risk, but it is not comprehensive.
The true statement about default risk is: Bondholders have a degree of legal protection against default risk, but it is not comprehensive, Hence option B is correct.
Default risk refers to the risk that a borrower, such as a company or government, will be unable to meet its financial obligations, including the payment of interest and the repayment of principal on a bond.
While bondholders may have some legal protections in place, such as collateral or contractual agreements, these protections are not always comprehensive and may vary depending on the specific bond and its terms.
Therefore, bondholders face the risk of potential default, even though they may have some level of legal protection.

Hillary graduates from law school and gets a position in a law firm. At the same time the price of hamburger falls while other food prices have stayed the same. She notices that she buys less hamburger than she did before. Is she violating the law of demand?
Answer:
no, since other things are not held constant, including her income
Explanation:
The law of demand states that price has an inverse relationship with quantity demanded of a good. As price increases the demand reduces, and as price decreases quantity demanded increases.
However this is true when all other factors reman constant.
In the given scenario the price of hamburger has fallen but Hilary buys less of it. This looks like a violation of the law of demand, but her income has changed so the law of demand may not hold here.
All factors do not remain constant.
Hilary's behaviour can be explained by the concept income effect. Where an increase in income leads to the consumer buying more of expensive goods than cheaper ones.
Cost of Living The City of St. Albans has a unionized police force that is coming up for a contract renewal. The police have one issue: the cost of living increases. During the past 10 years, police officers have received minimal cost of living increases, and this time they want to match what other police forces are making. They claim that their salaries are below the national level. The incoming new police hire earns a salary of $48,200.
Required:
Prepare the data and an argument on behalf of the police officers to support their position.
Answer:
Police officers are national servants. Their salary needs to be adequate so that they can maintain their standard of living.
Explanation:
Police officers should be paid according to their level of skills and expertise. If they are paid below their minimal cost of living then they will feel demotivated and will not be able to justify their job role. They need to be self motivated with their adequate pay so they feel pride to serve the nation. The police officers should be paid equally to the new police hire salary which is $48,200.

Uber and Lyft Drivers Go on Strike This activity is important because fairness gives employees observable evidence of trustworthiness of a manager, company or other source. Managers should know the types of justice and how they can exhibit those to gain trust. Trust is a strong predictor of organizational commitment and a moderate predictor of job performance. The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate your understanding of justice, by reading a case and answering questions that follow. Read the following case about Uber and Lyft and answer the questions that follow. Uber and Lyft drivers went on strike in several U.S. major cities the week of May 6, 2019, holding rallies and, in some cases, drivers not working for 12 to 24 hours. The drivers were protesting a pay decrease per mile and seeking better benefits. Lyft and Uber drivers are independent contractors, so they do not qualify for the same benefits and protections that govern typical employees. Drivers aren't guaranteed minimum wage or overtime, for example. Currently, Uber offers some benefits for high volume drivers, such as discounts on car repair and maintenance. Lyft and Uber have pushed back, with Lyft saying that most drivers work 10 hours or fewer a week and wouldn't qualify for benefits anyway. The timing of the strikes was no accident because Uber faced its IPO (initial public offering) the same week. Since then, Uber reported its largest quarterly loss in August 2019 of $5.2 billion. Furthermore, Lyft's shares fell 20% since its March 2019 IPO. If drivers were considered employees, they would get the same benefits and labor protection of other employees. Legally, they would be entitled to unemployment insurance, health care subsidies, overtime pay and a guaranteed minimum wage, among other rights. The lawsuit currently progressing through the court system in California is projected to be passed into law by the state senate. Uber and Lyft are not the only companies using "gig" workers. For example, another booming business model is food delivery, like Grubhub and DoorDash. Part of these companies' pushback is saying they will not be able to employ as many people due to the costs of benefits. In California, Uber is estimated to have 140,000 drivers and Lyft to have 80,000 drivers. Barclays, a renowned worldwide financial services company, estimated that benefits, payroll taxes and workers compensation would cost Uber $508 million per year and Lyft $290 million per year, assuming the same number of drivers were employed. In June 2019, Uber's and Lyft's top executives joined together to write an op ed in the San Francisco Chronicle to explain their arguments and promise to address the quality of work and job security. In their op ed, the executives sought to provide information to the public and drivers about their positions regarding providing benefits to drivers, showing the desire to increase justice. By relying on a respected source of information (Barclays), the executives appeared to use the rule of Multiple Choice procedural: truthfulness informational; procedure O Interpersonal: Informational O о informational; truthfulness interpersonal: procedure Drivers sought to advocate not just for full-time drivers, but part-time drivers too, seeking justice according to the rule of Multiple Choice О accuracy. propriety O O representativeness. volce.
