Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
In simple words, The seller must have intention of making the offer. These are determined first from offeree 's place that there is intention to make an bid. When a fair person in the offerer 's position assumes that the terms or acts of the offeror represent an offer, that is an bid. It is an empirical, and not a moral, criterion for deciding that there is an desire to accept an bid.
Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B .
Jervis sells $3,900 of its accounts receivable to Northern Bank in order to obtain necessary cash. Northern Bank charges a 3% factoring fee. What entry should Jervis make to record the transaction
Answer:
Dr cash $3783
Dr factoring fee expense $177
Cr accounts receivable $3900
Explanation:
The cash proceeds from the factoring arrangement would be 97% of the value of the receivables since 3% is the factoring fees expenses to be incurred.
Cash proceeds=$3900*97%=$ 3,783.00
Factoring fees expense=$3,900.00-$3,783.00=$117
Cash account and factoring fees expense would be debited with $3783 and $117 respectively, while accounts receivable is credited with $3900
Chester Corp. is downsizing the size of their workforce by 10% (to the nearest person) next year from various strategic initiatives. How much will the company pay in separation costs if each worker receives $5,000 when separated?
Answer:
$293,500
Explanation:
The computation of the amount pay in separation cost is shown below:
As there are 587 employees
but 10% are downsized
So, separation cost is
= Current employees × downsized percentage × received amount by workers
= 587 employees × 10% × $5,000
= $293,500
We simply applied the above formula so that the amount pay by the company with respect to the separation cost could arrive

The Book of Mormon is one of the biggest musical hits on Broadway. It has received many awards including Tony and Grammy Awards. According to Wikipedia, "High attendance coupled with aggressive pricing allowed the financial backers to recoup their investment of $11.4 million after just nine months of performances." While the highest ticket price was $477, the average price is $170. What is the variable cost per ticket
Answer:
variable cost per ticket = $129.60
Explanation:
some information is missing and I looked it up:
30 performances per month
1,100 seats in the theater and 95% occupancy rate
number of tickets sold during the first 9 months = 30 x 9 x 1,100 x 0.95 = 282,150 tickets
total revenue during the first 9 months = 282,150 x $170 = $47,965,500
variable costs = total revenue - fixed costs = $47,965,500 - $11,400,000 = $36,565,500
variable cost per ticket = $36,565,500 / 282,150 tickets = $129.5959 ≈ $129.60
Adams Bautista needs $26,700 in 8 years. Click here to view factor tables
Required:
a. What amount must he invest today if his investment earns 12% compounded annually?
b. What amount must he invest today if his investment earns 12% compounded annually?
Answer:
a. $10,783.68
b. $10,510.36 semi annual compounding
Explanation:
a. This question requires the present value of $26,700 given 8 years and compounded annually at 12%.
Present Value = [tex]\frac{Future Value}{ ( 1 + interest)^{number of periods} }[/tex]
Present Value = [tex]\frac{26,700}{ 1.12^{8} }[/tex]
Present Value = $10,783.68
He would need to invest $10,783.68 today.
b. This is a duplicate of question 1 but I will solve it assuming semi-annual compounding just in case.
12% per annum would become = 12/2 = 6% per semi annum
Number of periods would become = 8 * 2 = 16 periods
Present Value = [tex]\frac{Future Value}{ ( 1 + interest)^{number of periods} }[/tex]
Present Value = [tex]\frac{26,700}{ 1.06^{16} }[/tex]
Present Value = $10,510.36
He would need to invest $10,510.36 today.

Cerrone Inc. has provided the following data for the month of July. The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning of the month was $79,000 and at the end of the month was $72,000. The cost of goods manufactured for the month was $361,600. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $118,400 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied to jobs was $112,000. The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for July is:
Answer:
$375,000
Explanation:
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = Opening stock of finished goods + Cost of goods sold - Closing stock of finished goods
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = $79,000 + $361,600 - $72,000
Unadjusted cost of goods sold = $368,600
The overhead applied is $112,000 and the actual manufacturing overhead is $118,400. As the actual manufacturing overhead is more than the overhead applied, the overhead is under applied as shown below
Under-applied Overhead = Actual manufacturing overhead - Overhead applied
= $118,400 - $112,000
= $6,400
Now, calculation of the adjusted cost of goods sold is as follow
Adjusted cost of goods sold = Unadjusted cost of goods sold + Under-applied Overhead
= $368,600 + $6,400
= $375,000
Thus, the adjusted cost of goods sold is $375,000

The better-off test for evaluating whether a particular diversification move is likely to generate added value for shareholders involves determining whether the proposed diversification move Group of answer choices provides the company with additional resource strengths. provides additional ways to build the entrepreneurial skills of the company's senior managers. spreads stockholders' risks across a greater number of lines of business. has competitively valuable value chain match-ups with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart. has good potential for increasing the company's rate of return on invested capital.
Answer: Has competitively valuable value chain match-ups with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart.
Explanation:
The better-off test of diversification is that the company must gain a return that is higher than incremental growth. Incremental growth is usually defined a 1 + 1 = 2 formula and this test argues that Diversification must provide more than this such that the company achieves synergistic growth ( 1 + 1 = 3) which is what happens when different entities work better together than alone.
Diversification should therefore be into an area that will be able to match-up with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart and produce even greater returns.
Consider a team that you are familiar with - either by being a member of the team, a team leader, or a bystander. What were the team's goals?
Answer:
• To ensure that there is no income leakage whatsoever
• Ensure that there is no customer complaint made to the company's executives
• Early closure not later than 5pm daily, Monday to Friday
• Ensure customer survey ratings of at least 8.0
• Drive paperless environment.
• Daily reconciliation of the bank's transit accounts.
Explanation:
I used to belong to a team called settlement and reconciliation , which is under operations support, business banking in one of the top financial institution.
The goals are as listed above. For instance as a settlement and reconciliation team, you must ensure accurate settlement of all merchants such that none would receive excess settlement s which could deplete the bank's income. Also, there must be no customer complaint escalated to the bank's executives hence team must promptly resolve all queries and complaint.
Another goal is to drive early closure. No member of staff must remain in the office after 5pm unless permission is obtained to deal urgent transaction. Each year, the bank conducts internal survey among departments to know how well we treat our internal and external stakeholders. The least score approved for my team is 8.0 out of 10 , which must be met.
Again, one of the goals of the bank is paperless drive which was included in each team or unit's goals. We support the drive for paperless transactions by suggesting means to consummate transactions without printing. We must also ensure daily and timely reconciliation of all our transit accounts in order to ensure that no idle fund is sitting in there.

In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $7 million, patent; $5 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $9 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life.
Required:
What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items?
Answer:
$1,400,000 per year
Explanation:
DATA
Patent = 7 million with 5years useful life
Trademark = 5 million with an indefinite life
Goodwill = 9million
Amortization =?
Solution
Amortization of patent = Patent Value/ Useful life
Amortization of patent = $7,000,000/5
Amortization of patent = $1,400,000 per year
NOTE: Trademark and goodwill will not be amortized as they have an indefinite useful life. Both Intangible assets will be tested for impairment instead.

Wanda contracted to sell Mike 100 boxes of ball bearings.The contract did not specify a place of delivery.The ball bearings now reside at Wanda's place of business.Wanda refuses to ship the 100 boxes to Mike,and Mike refuses to come to Wanda's place of business to pick them up.Who is right? Why?
Answer:
Wanda is right since the contract did not specify a place of deliveryExplanation:
Wanda is right, since the contract did not specify the place of delivery or whether Wanda is expected to deliver the bearing to Mikes place.
If it is in Wanda terms of business that normally boxes above 100 when purchased, delivery is free and he defaults, then he is wrong, but in this case it was not specified who will bear the cost of shipping, and it is not in Wanda terms of business that delivery is free, so Wanda is right in my own opinion.
Harpeth Valley Water District has a bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 3.63 percent and semiannual payments. The bond matures in 23 years, with a yield to maturity of 4.17 percent, and a par value of $5,000. What is the market price of the bond
Answer:
Market price of Bond = $4603.116669 rounded off to $4603.12
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 5000 * 0.0363 * 1/2 = $90.75
Total periods (n)= 23 * 2 = 46
r = 4.17% * 1/2 = 2.085% or 0.02085
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 90.75 * [( 1 - (1+0.02085)^-46) / 0.02085] + 5000 / (1+0.02085)^46
Bond Price = $4603.116669 rounded off to $4603.12
AgCo sells corn in a perfectly competitive market. Say the current market price for a bushel of corn is $4.00. If AgCo prices at $4.10 per bushel for its corn, a. AgCo will sell less corn than other producers but still earn a reasonable profit. b. AgCo will sell no bushels of corn. c. AgCo's total revenue will increase. d. AgCo will maximize profit at that price.
Answer:
b. AgCo will sell no bushels of corn.
Explanation:
A perfectly competitive market refers to market has many buyers and sellers will all the market selling the undifferentiated product without any difference.
Some of the others attributes of a perfectly competitive market are that buyers and sellers have perfect information about the price of a good, no barriers to entry and exit, similar products are being sold, there are free entry and exit to the market, and all sellers are price takers.
All sellers are price takers implies that the price of good is determined or given by the market. Therefore, any attempt to increase the price beyond the price given by the market will result into a zero sale because the buyers will immediately switch to another seller selling at the market price which lower.
Based on the above explanation, AgCo will sell no bushels of corn because its prices at $4.10 per bushel for its corn is higher than the current market price for a bushel of corn of $4.00.
A. Why may a hotel charge such very high prices for wine, soft drinks or even bottled water and yet quite reasonable prices for food and still get away with such high prices?
Answer:
The justification given is indeed the performance, product as well as the location which makes up for the exorbitant cost charged.
Explanation:
It's indeed primarily although together with the goods, they have their service. The hotels wouldn't go out of operation even though they demand these high costs since perfect pairing some other considerations included within the amount, including the environment, infrastructure, facilities, services, etc.The income elasticity becomes extremely relatively elastic, which means the demand doesn't really exist based on the paid costs.Dinklage Corp. has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstandingSuppose the most recent dividend was "$3.25" and the dividend growth rate is 5 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the company’s WACC?
Answer:
WACC = 15.08%
Explanation:
Some information is missing:
"The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 97 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5 percent, and sells for 108 percent of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years."
In order to calculate WACC we must first determine the YTM and market values of the 2 bonds.
bond 1:
market value = $70,000,000 x 0.97 = $67,900,000
YTM = {4,200,000 + [(70,000,000 - 67,900,000)/21]} / [(70,000,000 + 67,900,000)/2] = 4,300,000 / 68,950,000 = 6.24%
bond 2:
market value = $40,000,000 x 1.08 = $43,200,000
YTM = {2,600,000 + [(40,000,000 - 43,200,000)/6]} / [(40,000,000 + 43,200,000)/2] = 2,066,667 / 41,600,000 = 4.97%
weighted average cost of debt:
total value of debt = $67,900,000 + $43,200,000 = $111,100,000
weighted average cost = [($67,900,000/$111,100,000) x 6.24%] + [($43,200,000/$111,100,000) x 4.97%] = 3.814% + 1.933% = 5.75%
cost of equity (Re):
$68 = ($8 x 1.05) / (Re - 5%)
Re - 5% = $8.40 / $68 = 12.35%
Re = 17.35%
outstanding stock's market value = 7,000,000 x $68 = $476,000,000
WACC = [($476,000,000/$587,100,000) x 17.35%] + [($111,100,000/$587,100,000) x 5.75% x 0.79] = 14.07% + 1.01% = 15.08%
how does being mindful of your strengths, skills, weaknesses, and potential challenges or obstacles impact your personal, academic, and professional growth?
Explanation:
It’s not unusual for people to compare themselves with others around them, and to feel superior or inferior towards them based on their strengths and their weaknesses.
The thing is, every individual is different and we all function differently based on our personalities. It is important to know yourself and your capacities.
Your strengths are things you can leverage on, things you can use to push yourself further.
On the other hand, your weaknesses are not your downfall. These are areas you need to improve on. It is not something you lack. It is something you need to develop and build.
In order to leverage your strengths and improve on your weaknesses, you first need to know them.
Answer:
Being mindful of my strengths, skills, and potential obstacles can significantly impact my personal, academic, and professional growth. When I am aware of my strengths, I can rely on them to complete tasks, sort of like leverage. They are also things that will help push me further in whatever aspect of life. Knowing my skills will also benefit me by knowing when to use them in certain situations. Learning my skills is also essential to understand when knowing when and how to use them. Also, when I am aware of my obstacles or challenges, it will help me find a way to avoid them or find a better way to accomplish something. It is also something that I know I need to work on and become better at, and without being aware of first, I wouldn’t be able to do that. When I am aware of how I function, it makes it easier for me to achieve my goals. I wouldn’t be able to grow in my personal, academic, or professional life if I wasn’t aware of those things.

What is meant by loans?A loan is an act of one or more people, businesses, or other entities lending money to other people, businesses, or other entities. The recipient, or borrower, incurs a debt and is often responsible for both the main amount borrowed as well as interest payments on the debt until it is repaid.
The promissory note or equivalent document used to prove the debt will typically include information such as the principal borrowed amount, the interest rate being charged by the lender, and the due date. The subject asset is temporarily reallocated between the borrower and the lender as part of a loan.
The payment of interest encourages the lender to make the loan.
Hence, option (A) is accurate.

In 20X9, Janet reported operating income of $100,000 and paid dividends of $40,000. During the same year, Slider reported operating income of $75,000 and paid $20,000 in dividends.
1) Based on the information provided, what amount will be reported as consolidated net income for 20X9 under the treasury stock method?
a. $150,000
b. $100,000
c. $75,000

c. $175,000
d. $100,000
Answer:
1) d. $175,000
2) b. $156,250
Explanation:
1. The computation of net income for 20X9 under the treasury stock method is shown below:-
Net income for 20X9 under the treasury stock method = Janet Operating income + Slider operating income
= $100,000 + $75,000
= $175,000
2. The computation of income assigned to the controlling interest for 20X9 is shown below:-
income assigned to the controlling interest for 20X9 = Janet Operating income + (Slider operating income × Remaining percentage)
= $100,000 + ($75,000 × 75%)
= $100,000 + $56,250
= $156,250
Therefore we have applied the above formulas.
