a) fiat money
b) representative money
c) commodity money
d) gold standard
Answer:
Fiat money
Explanation:
Fiat money is a type of money or currency that is used as money because it is issued and backed by the government but it does not have any intrinsic value.
It has no intrinsic value which means that it does not have any value of its own and it is maintained by the government. Therefore, If people lost confidence in the government the kind of money that would have the least value is fiat money
A firm only has current assets and fixed assets. Its current assets are $100,000 and total assets are $300,000. The firm's sales are $900,000. The firm's fixed asset turnover is
Answer:
Firm's fixed asset turnover = 4.5
Explanation:
Given:
Current assets = $100,000
Total assets = $300,000
Firm's sales = $900,000
Find:
Firm's fixed asset turnover
Computation:
Fixed assets = Total assets - Current assets
Fixed assets = $300,000 - $100,000
Fixed assets = $200,000
Fixed asset turnover = Sales / Fixed asset
Firm's fixed asset turnover = $900,000 / $200,000
Firm's fixed asset turnover = 4.5
In 2008, the United States began to witness one of the worst recessions since the 1930s. The collapse of the housing bubble in 2006 led to a massive decline in real estate prices, affecting consumers and institutions, especially banking and financial entities. Severe liquidity shortfalls in the United States as well as other global markets led to a serious credit crisis. During the credit crisis of 2008–2009, several banks and other businesses went through a reorganization process or were forced to liquidate. Consider the following example:________.
In January 2009, American electronics retailer Circuit City Inc. closed all of its stores and sold all of its merchandise.
The above is an example of:______.
A. Reorganization
B. Liquidation.
Answer:
B. Liquidation.
Explanation:
Liquidation is and aftermath of the inability of a company or establishment to meet up with her obligations at the required moment. Thus, the company folds-up, lay off her staff and stop operating. While reorganization is a form of restructuring in a company or establishment. It may involve change of positions and duties among capable staff.
The example in the given scenario is that of liquidation because it ceased from operation.
Bonds payable—record issuance and discount amortization Coley Co. issued 515 million face amount of 9%, 10-year bonds on June 1, 2013. The bonds pay interest on an annual basis on May 31 each year.

Abburi Company's manufacturing overhead is 55% of its total conversion costs. If direct labor is $45,900 and if direct materials are $27,200, the manufacturing overhead is:
Answer:
Manufacturing Overheads = $56100
Explanation:
The conversion cost defined simply is the cost involved in turning the raw material or direct material into the finished products. Conversion cost is calculated by adding the direct labor cost and the manufacturing overhead cost.
Conversion cost = Direct labor + Manufacturing overheads
As we know that the manufacturing overhead is 55% of conversion cost, then the direct labor cost is 45% of conversion cost.
If 45% of conversion cost is $45900, then the total conversion cost will be,
Conversion cost = 45900 * 100/45 = $102000
Manufacturing Overheads = 102000 - 45900 = $56100
The following data relate to factory overhead cost for the production of 10,000 computers:

The fixed factory overhead rate was $6.00 per hour.
Answer:
1.-4,000 Favorable
2.6,000 Unfavorable
3.$2,000 Unfavorable
Explanation:
1.Preparation to determine variable factory overhead Controllable variance
Using this formula
Variable factory overhead Controllable variance=Standard hours * rate- Fixed factory overhead rate
Let plug in the formula
Variable factory overhead Controllable variance=14,000 * 25.00- 6.00= 266,000
Variable factory overhead Controllable variance = 262,000- 266,000
Variable factory overhead Controllable variance= -4,000 Favorable
2. Preparation to determine fixed factory overhead volume variance .
First step is to deduct Productive capacity hours from total factory overhead cost standard hours
15,000 hours -14,000 hours =1,000 hrs
Second step is to find the fixed factory overhead volume variance
Using this formula
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=Un-used Numbers of hrs*Fixed factory overhead rate
Let plug in the formula
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=1,000 hrs*$6.00
Fixed factory overhead volume variance= 6,000 Unfavorable
3. Preparation to Determine total factory overhead cost variance
Variable Factory Overhead Controllable Variance $4,000 Favorable
Fixed Factory Overhead Volume Variance $6,000 Unfavorable
Factory Overhead Cost Variance$2,000 Unfavorable
Your firm has total sales of $22,980, costs of $14,715, and depreciation of $6,045. The tax rate is 34 percent. There are no interest expenses or other income. What is the operating cash flow?
Answer:
Thus, Operating cash flow for company is $7,510.20.
Explanation:
Total Sales = $22,980
Cost of goods sold = $14,715
Depreciation = $6,045
Profit before tax = Total Sales – Cost of goods sold – Depreciation
= $22,980 – $14,715 – $6,045
=$2,220
Profit before tax is $2,220
Tax rate = 34%
Net profit = profit before tax × (1 – 34%)
= $1,465.20
Net profit for company is $1,465.20.
Operating cash flow = Net profit + Depreciation
= $1,465.20 + $6,045
= $7,510.20
Thus, Operating cash flow for company is $7,510.20.
James just received an $8,000 inheritance check from the estate of his deceased rich uncle. James wants to set aside enough money to pay for a trip in five years. If the trip is expected to cost $5,000, how much of the $8,000 must James deposit now if the rate of return is 12% per year in order to have the $5,000 in five years
Answer:
$2831.13
Explanation:
The computation of the present value of 5,000 in five years is shown below:-
Present Value of 5,000 in five years = Expected cost ÷ (1 + Rate of return)^Number of years
= $5,000 ÷ (1 + 12%)^5
= $
5,000 ÷ (1.12)^5
= $2831.13
Therefore for computing the present value of 5,000 in five years we simply applied the above formula.

Variable manufacturing costs per unit manufactured includes direct materials DM, direct labor DL, and variable MOH $27.
Variable operating expenses per unit sold $4
Fixed manufacturing overhead (MOH) in total for the year $120,000
Fixed operating expenses in total for the year $92,000
Units manufactured and sold for the year 12,000 units
Required:
a. Prepare an income statement for the upcoming year using variable costing.
b. Prepare an income statement for the upcoming year using absorption costing.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Absorption costing income statement:
Sales= 12,000*54= 648,000
COGS= (12,000*27) + 120,000= (444,000)
Gross profit= 204,000
Total operating expenses= (12,000*4) + 92,000= (140,000)
Net operating income= 64,000
Variable costing income statement:
Sales= 648,000
Total variable cost= 12,000*(27 + 4)= (372,000)
Total contribution margin= 276,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead= (120,000)
Fixed operating expenses= (92,000)
Net operating income= 64,000

you have just deposited $11000 in to an account that promises to pay you an annual interest rate of 6.5 percent each year for the next 6 years. You will leave the money invested in the account and 10 years from today. you need to have $26300 in the account. What annual interest rate must you earn over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal
Answer:
Over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal the annual interest rate must be 13.14 %.
Explanation:
First find the Future value (FV) of $11,000 at the end of the 6th year as follows :
PV = -$11,000
r = 6.50%
p/yr = 1
n = 6
Pmt = $0
FV = ?
Using a financial calculator, the Future Value (FV) is $16,050.57
Therefore, the amount invested will amount to $16,050.57 in 6 year.
Next we then calculate the interest rate that will give us $26300 in the next four years (remainder of the 10 years)
PV = -$16,050.57
FV = $26,300
P/yr = 1
n = 4
Pmt = $0
r = ?
Using a financial calculator, the Interest rate (r) is 13.14 %
Conclusion :
Over the last 4 years to accomplish this goal the annual interest rate must be 13.14 %.
Break-even point Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $160, the unit variable cost is $120, and the total fixed costs are $725,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $170.
A. Compute the current break-even sales (units).
B. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant.
Answer:
A. 18,125 units
B. 14,500 units
Explanation:
Break -even is the level of activity where a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $725,000 ÷ ( $160 - $120)
= 18,125 units
New Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $725,000 ÷ ( $170- $120)
= 14,500 units
If two firms producing substitutes agree to fix prices, then their prices will 1.____________ . If two firms producing complements agree to fix prices, then their prices will 2.____________ .
Answer: increase; decrease.
Explanation:
Price fixing is a situation that occurs when two companies come together and form an agreement whereby the price of a particular goods or services will not be sold below that particular price.
When two firms producing substitutes agree to fix prices, then their prices will increase and when two firms that are producing complements fix prices, then their prices will reduce.
At the beginning of year 1, Looby Corp. purchases equipment for $100,000. The equipment has a residual value of $20,000 and an expected useful life of 10 years. What is accumulated depreciation at the end of year 2 using straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Accumulated Depreciation at the end of year = $16,000
Explanation:
Under the straight line method of depreciation, the cost of an asset less the salvage value is spread equally over the expected useful life.
An equal amount is charged as annual depreciation over the life of the asset. The annual depreciation is calculated as follows:
Annual depreciation:
= (cost of assets - salvage value)/ Estimated useful life
Cost - 100,000
Residual value = 20,000
Estimated useful life = 10 years
Annual depreciation = (100,000- 20,000)/10 =8,000
Annual depreciation = 8,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = Annual depreciation× number of years
= 8,000× 2 = 16,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = $16,000
How could managers use increased worker flexibility and diligence to increase the competitiveness of their manufacturing sites
Explanation:
In order to increase the flexibility and diligence of workers in order to increase the competitiveness of their manufacturing sites, it is ideal for management to offer working conditions that allow employees greater benefits, such as greater mobility, with a layout that includes the correct flow between people, products and materials.
It is also ideal to implement technologies that reduce the bureaucracy both at work and facilitate communication and carrying out tasks.
Mobility also includes remote work using technology.
These are strategies that help to make work more flexible and, consequently, increase innovation in work and worker motivation.
The correct way in which the flexibility of the workers in an organization can be increased is by adapting to suitable principles of business management as per the size and scale of the business.
This will also help the manager to increase the competitiveness in the market and also beat the need for optimum level of production in the organization.
Principles of Business Management. The principles of business management as given by economist Henry Fayol are a great source for how the business can be run efficiently and effectively using the resources available.There can be chain level management that can be followed to achieve specialization of work and bring in additional capital or workforce to divide the work uniformly. Manufacturing can also be increased by doing departmentalization in management to save up costs and achieve optimum utilization of resources.Hence, a manager may adapt to different principles of management to increase competitiveness and effectiveness in the level of manufacturing.

3. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process.
Units transferred out $
Units in ending work in process
Answer:
1. Compute equivalent units of production for materials and for conversion costs
Equivalent units of Materials: (Units in Beginning Work in process + Units started into production - Units in ending work in process) + Units in ending work in process
= (0 + 37,300 - 8,200) + 8,200
= 37,300
Equivalent units of conversion costs : (Units in Beginning Work in process + Units started into production - Units in ending work in process) + (Units in ending work in process * 40%)
= (0 + 37,300 - 8,200) + (8,200 * 40%)
=29,100 + 3,280
= 32,380
2. Determine the unit costs of production
Unit costs of materials = Direct materials / Equivalent units of Materials
= $78,330 / 37,300
= $2.1
Unit costs of conversion costs = (Direct labor + Overhead) / Equivalent units of conversion costs
= ($66,500 + $105,114) / 32,380
= $171,614 / 32,380
= $5.3
3. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process
Units ending work in process = Materials + Conversion costs

b. Journalize the adjusting entry on December 31 to recognize the depletion expense.
Dr Depletion expense 39,780,000
Cr Accumulated depletion: Mine 39,780,000
Explanation:
depletion expense per ton mined = $153,000,000 / 90,000,000 = $1.70 per ton
depletion expense for current year = $1.70 x 23,400,000 = $39,780,000
Depletion expense is similar to depreciation expense since the carrying value of the asset decreases as minerals are being mined.

Game theory is useful for understanding oligopoly behavior because: there are so many firms in an oligopoly that all are price takers. firms must differentiate their products if they are to remain in business. firms recognize that because there are only a few firms mutual interdependence is important. without it firms would not be able to maintain cartel agreements. it allows firms to develop greater monopoly power.
Answer:
firms recognize that because there are only a few firms mutual interdependence is important.
Explanation:
Game theory is useful for understanding oligopoly behavior because firms recognize that because there are only a few firms mutual interdependence is important.
An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.
Hence, under the game theory, when firms makes a decision about their business, it is expected that they consider how the other firms would react to such decisions.

Answer:
Working Capital will be overstated by the amount of $40.
Explanation:
Of the two the adjusting entries, we need to identify the adjusting entry that affects any element of Working Capital (Current Assets or Current Liability).
Depreciation Entries include : Debit Depreciation Expense (Expense) $10 and Credit Accumulated Depreciation $10.
Cash Dividends Declared Entries include : Debit Dividend (Equity) $40 and Credit Shareholders for Dividends (Liability) $40.
Thus, the Liabilities will be understated due to omission of Cash Dividends Declared Entries.
Subsequently, Working Capital will be overstated by the amount of $40.
Suppose you deposit your paycheck, drawn on another bank. The total money supply in the banking system will ___________ because:
a. Assets of your bank would increase by more than the amount withdrawn from the other bank.
b. An increase in the assets of your bank by the amount of your paycheck would simply decrease the assets of another bank by the same amount.
c. Assets of the other bank would decrease by a fraction of the amount deposited at your bank.
Answer:
Option B, An increase in the assets of your bank by the amount of your paycheck would simply decrease the assets of another bank by the same amount, is correct.
Explanation:
