Answer: national union president
Explanation:
Since she wasn't paid for overtime, Cooke should contact her national union president, who represents union members to management when workers have complaints.
The aim of the national union is to seek solution to any challenges that are faced by their members. The union also make sure that their members have a comfortable working environment that is safe and also help on negotiating for better pay.
A firm produces truffles by using labor and capital. The price of labor is $10 per unit, and the price of capital is $20 per unit. At current output level, the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the marginal product of capital is 60 truffles. To reduce the total cost of producing the current quantity of truffles, how should the firm change its spending on labor and capital
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
With the information given in the question, the firm should change its spending on labor and capital by increasing its labor and at thesame time, also reducing capital.
This is because since the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the price of labor is $10 per unit, it means that 4 truffles/dollar is being spent on labor, while for capital, 3 truffles/dollar is being spent.
8. Agreement and disagreement among economists Suppose that Tim, an economist from a business school in Georgia, and Alyssa, an economist from a university in Massachusetts, are arguing over government bailouts. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: Alyssa: Thanks to recent financial crises, the concept of bailouts is a hot topic for debate among everyone these days. Tim: Indeed, it's gotten crazy! A government bailout of severely distressed financial firms is unnecessary because free markets will properly price assets. Alyssa: I don't know about that. Without a bailout of severely distressed financial firms, the economy will experience a deep recession. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to .
Answer:
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to .
differences between perceptions versus reality.
Explanation:
A bailout occurs when the government provides capital resources to a distressed business or failing company, which it considers to be too big to fail. The purpose is to prevent the consequences of the downfall of such an entity, which may include bankruptcy, default on its financial obligations, economic impact on the wider society. Most bailouts are made for the benefit of the society rather than the business entity. The mindset from which two economists can perceive the reality of bailouts will always differ.

how to journalize this?
When a business transaction requires a journal entry, we must follow these rules:
The entry must have at least 2 accounts with 1 DEBIT amount and at least 1 CREDIT amount.
The DEBITS are listed first and then the CREDITS.
The DEBIT amounts will always equal the CREDIT amounts.
For another example, let’s look at the transaction analysis we did in the previous chapter for Metro Courier (click Transaction analysis):
1. The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation. We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT. The journal entry would look like this:
2. Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit. This journal entry would be:
plz follow me
one thanks give me motivation for answering
plz mark me brainliest
Answer:
All the journal entries illustrated so far have involved one debit and one credit; these journal entries are called simple journal entries. Many business transactions, however, affect more than two accounts. The journal entry for these transactions involves more than one debit and/or credit. Such journal entries are called compound journal entries.
Explanation:
1. The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation. We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT
2. Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
3. Purchased a new truck for $8,500 cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Truck and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
4. Purchased $500 in supplies on account. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Supplies and the liability Accounts Payable. To increase an asset, we debit and to increase a liability, use credit.
5. Paid $300 for supplies previously purchased. Since we previously purchased the supplies and are not buying any new ones, we analyzed this to decrease the liability accounts payable and the asset cash. To decrease a liability, use debit and to decrease and asset, use debit.
6. Paid February and March Rent in advance for $1,800. When we pay for an expense in advance, it is an asset. We want to increase the asset Prepaid Rent and decrease Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
7. Performed work for customers and received $50,000 cash. We analyzed this transaction to increase the asset cash and increase the revenue Service Revenue. To increase an asset, use debit and to increase a revenue, use credit.
8. Performed work for customers and billed them $10,000. We analyzed this transaction to increase the asset accounts receivable (since we have not gotten paid but will receive it later) and increase revenue. To increase an asset, use debit and to increase a revenue, use credit.
9. Received $5,000 from customers from work previously billed. We analyzed this transaction to increase cash since we are receiving cash and we want to decrease accounts receivable since we are receiving money from customers who we billed previously and not new work we are doing. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
10 Paid office salaries $900. We analyzed this transaction to increase salaries expense and decrease cash since we paid cash. To increase an expense, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
11. Paid utility bill $1,200. We analyzed this transaction to increase utilities expense and decrease cash since we paid cash. To increase an expense, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
Paul Martin had worked for 12 years for the department of transportation when he applied for a promotion to dispatcher. Martin scored 75 on an interview test. Betty Palmer, another candidate, scored 73 and got the job. Martin sued the county for reverse discrimination. The county said that both Martin and Palmer were qualified and that Palmer had gotten the job as part of a voluntary affirmative action plan designed to achieve a work force that reflected the race and gender composition of the county. The county pointed out that none of 238 skilled craft workers jobs in the county were help by women. Answer the questions below around this case.
a. What issue(s) must the court decide in the case (for example, racial harassment)?
b. If you were the judge, how would you rule? Explain.
c. Describe two ways to help ensure workforce planning and employment are compliant.
Answer:
a.)
The court has to hear the arguments from both side of the party , analyze the arguments that has imposed by the party on each other. And after analyzing, the court decide the judgement.
b.)
If I were the judge , then i would not consider the case under racial harassment .
Because the country has an argument that Palmer had gotten the job as part of a voluntary affirmative action plan designed to achieve a work force that reflected the race and gender composition of the county.

Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transactions and production for that nation. Which of the following scenarios are either not accounted for or measured inaccurately by either the income or the expenditure methods of calculating GDP for the United States?
a. The costs of overfishing and other overly intensive uses of resources
b. Federal government paychecks to soldiers
c. The value Of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government
d. The variety of goods available to consumers
When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the ________ component of GDP while also ____________ net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes_________ in US GDP.
Answer:
a, c , d
investment
decreasing
no effect
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
6. Externalities
Investment spending by businesses includes purchases made by businesses. So, investment spending increases. Net export decreases because import is a negative function of GDP. The increase and decrease cancel each other out and there would be no change in GDP
Joshua loans his son, Seth, $100,000 interest free for five years. Seth uses the money for a down payment on his home. Assume that the applicable federal interest rate is 4 percent. What are the tax consequences of this loan to Joshua and to Seth? How would your answer change if Seth uses the money to invest in corporate bonds paying 8 percent annual interest? [LO
Answer:
What are the tax consequences of this loan to Joshua and to Seth?
The IRS requires that any loans must charge a minimum interest rate, and in this case, since Joshua is not charging any interest to his son, the IRS will consider the minimum interest rate as a gift and will tax it that way. Since Joshua can make gifts for $15,000 per year, if the threshold is already passed, the IRS will consider $100,000 x 4% = $4,000 as taxable gifts.
How would your answer change if Seth uses the money to invest in corporate bonds paying 8 percent annual interest?
The answer shouldn't change since Joshua is the one that can be taxed here. Seth cannot deduct any interest expense or gift tax expense either.
The essential characteristics of financial statement fraud are: The misstatement is material and intentional and the users of the financial statements are investors in publicly traded companies. This misstatement is material and intentional and the preparers of the financial statements have a fiduciary obligation to the organization. The misstatement is material and intentional and the preparers of the financial statements fail to report the misstatement to the SEC or other applicable authority. The misstatement is material and intentional and the users of the financial statements have been misled.
Answer:
The misstatement is material and intentional and the users of the financial statements have been misled.
Explanation:
Financial statement fraud is defined as the intentional misstatement or ommision of information on the financial statement that is aimed at deceiving users of financial statement.
When a fraud is perpetrated the act is an intentional attempt to misrepresent a situation to illegally gain something that is not legally yours.
For example financial statement fraud can be done to obtain a loan or inflate the price of company shares.
Usually profits, assets, and revenue are overstated. While liabilities, expenses, and losses are understated

Lucky Strike Mine (LLC) purchased a silver deposit for $1,500,000. It estimated it would extract 500,000 ounces of silver from the deposit. Lucky Strike mined the silver and sold it, reporting gross receipts of $1.8 million, $2.5 million, and $2 million for Years 1 through 3, respectively. During Years 1 through 3, Lucky Strike reported net income (loss) from the silver deposit activity in the amount of ($100,000), $400,000, and $100,000, respectively. In Years 1 through 3, Lucky Strike actually extracted 300,000 ounces of silver as follows: Ounces extracted per year Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 50,000 150,000 100,000 What is Lucky Strike's depletion deduction for Year 2 if the applicable percentage depletion for silver is 15 percent
Answer:
$375,000
Explanation:
depletion rate musts equal the lesser between:
net income = $400,000
or
15% of gross revenues = $2,500,000 x 15% = $375,000
in this case, $375,000 is the smallest amount.
The percentage of depletion is used by extraction companies, e.g. oil & gas companies or mining companies.
What are the costs and sources of inefficiency in a barter B apply.) A. Productivity is increased by specialization. B. Each good has only one price. C. There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners. D. There is a lack of standardization. E. There is difficulty in accumulating wealth. OF. Transactions costs are almost always high.
Answer:
C)There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.
D)There is a lack of standardization.
E)There is difficulty in accumulating wealth.
Explanation:
barter in a trade can be regarded as a system of exchange that involves exchange of goods and services for another without using money as a medium of exchange. Barter is been considered as 'inefficient' as a result of the needs for 'double coincidence of wants'. For instance in a situation whereby someone is buying particular amount of another's goods, but the payment he/she has is for just one indivisible unit of another good, and the worth is higher than what he/she want to obtain, in this case there won't be barter transaction.
It should be noted that the costs and sources of inefficiency in a barter are;
✓There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.
✓There is a lack of standardization.
✓There is difficulty in accumulating
The residents of cities A, B, C, D and E consume wi-fi routers, with consumption in each city is 150 routers (see the map below). The firm that produces routers must decide how to set-up production. It could set up five factories, dispersed across each city, with each factory producing 150 routers and supplying to its own local city market. In this case, the firm incurs no cost for shipping output. Alternatively, the firm could locate its factory at centrally located city C, and supply routers to the entire region. The single factory in city C must then produce 750 routers, 600 of which are shipped to the cities A, B, D and E for a shipping cost of $6 per router.
A E
C
B D
(a) Suppose the average cost of producing a router is AC (Q) = 1500/Q, where Q is the number of routers produced in a factory. Calculate AC with Q = 150 and Q = 750, respectively. Note and explain how this production process exhibit economies of scale.
(b) Based on the AC function from part (a), find the optimal arrangement of production for the firm (one central factory or five dispersed factories). The optimal arrangement minimizes total cost for the firm, where total cost is the sum of production cost and shipping cost. Clearly write down all your calculations.
(c) Now suppose the average cost of producing a router is AC = 14000/(Q+1250). Now, repeat the calculation of AC with Q = 150 and Q = 750.
(d) Based on the AC function from part (c), now repeat your calculations to find the cost-minimizing arrangement of production in the case. (e) Explain intuitively the difference is results between responses to part (b) and (d).
(f) Suppose now production costs are those given in part (a) but let shipping cost per router be given by t (in the preceding discussion, we had t = 6, now we assume we don’t know the cost of shipping). What value of t would make the two arrangements for production (centralized versus separate factories) equivalent in terms of cost? i.e. what value of t would make the firm indifferent between a centralized versus a dispersed set-up?
Answer:
a. The production process shows that the more the quantity produced, the less the average cost of production. It proves that there are advantages arising from economies of scale.
AC with Q = 150 = $10 ($1,500/150) and
AC with Q = 750 = $2 ($1,500/750)
b. The optimal arrangement is (centralized production) to produce the 750 routers at city C and ship to the 4 other cities.
c. AC with Q = 150 = $10 (14000/(150+1250) and
AC with Q = 750 = $7 (14000/(750+1250)
d. The cost-minimizing arrangement of production in this case is decentralized production.
e. The average cost of producing 150 units at the various cities has remained unchanged while the average cost of producing the 750 units at city C has increased from $2 to $7.
f. Suppose now production costs are those given in part (a) but let shipping cost per router be given by t (in the preceding discussion, we had t = 6, now we assume we don’t know the cost of shipping).
The value of t that would make the two arrangements for production (centralized versus separate factories) equivalent in terms of cost is:
t = $10 per router
Therefore, centralized production cost will be equal to $7,500 ($1,500 + ($10 * 600), and decentralized production cost will remain at $7,500 (750 * $10).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cities with consumers of wi-fi routers = A, B, C, D and E
Demand for routers by each city = 150
Total number of routers required = 750 (150 * 5)
b) Suppose the average cost of producing a router is AC (Q) = 1500/Q, where Q is the number of routers produced in a factory:
Therefore AC with Q = 150 = $10 ($1,500/150) and
AC with Q = 750 = $2 ($1,500/750)
Cost of Production of routers in city C:
cost of producing 750 routers at $2 per router = $1,500
Shipping cost of 600 routers to 4 cities at $6 per router = $3,600
Total cost of producing at city C = $5,100 ($1,500 + $3,600)
Total cost of producing 750 routers at 5 cities = $7,500 ($1,500/150 * 750)
c) Suppose the average cost of producing a router is AC = 14000/(Q+1250):
Therefore, AC with Q = 150 = $10 (14000/(150+1250) and
AC with Q = 750 = $7 (14000/(750+1250)
Cost of Production of routers in city C:
cost of producing 750 routers at $7 per router = $5,250
Shipping cost of 600 routers to 4 cities at $6 per router = $3,600
Total cost of producing at city C = $8,850 ($5,250 + $3,600)
Total cost of producing 750 routers at 5 cities = $7,500 ($1,500/150 * 750)
d) $7,500 = $1,500 + tQ
where Q = 600 (150 * 4)
Therefore, $7,500 - $1,500 = t600
simplifying
t600 = $6,000
t = $6,000/600 = $10

Mortensen Industries, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,240 Units started and completed during the period: 6,100 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:
Answer:
60%
Explanation:
Calculation for what the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:
First step is to calculate the Total materials
Total equivalent units of materials + Units started and completed during the period = Total materials or 6,100 + x = 8,000; x = 1,900 (8,100-6,100)
Second step is to calculate Partial units with conversion costs in ending inventory
Using this formula
Partial units with conversion costs in ending inventory= Equivalent units of conversion –
Units started and completed during the period
Let plug in the formula
Partial units with conversion costs in ending inventory= 7,240 – 6,100
Partial units with conversion costs in ending inventory = 1,140 units
Now let calculate the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion
Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion= 1,140 ÷1,900
Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion=0.6*100
Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion= 60%
Therefore the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:60%

c. Factory Overhead
d. Cost of Goods Manufactured
e. Cost of Goods Sold
f. Net Income
Answer:
a. Direct Labor
b. Direct Materials
c. Factory Overhead
d. Cost of Goods Manufactured
Explanation:
Costs of Goods Manufactured Schedule records the total of manufacturing costs only. So, consider all costs related to manufacturing process for this question.
Miguel Alvarez in the accounting department at Baumer Company has provided the following information:
Cost per Unit Cost per Period
Direct materials $6.25
Direct labor $3.20
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.20
Fixed manufacturing overhead $13,200
Sales commissions $1.20
Variable administrative expense $0.50
Fixed selling and administrative expense $3,300
The incremental manufacturing cost that the company will incur if it increases production from 5,500 to 5,501 units is closest to:_____
The incremental manufacturing cost that the company will incur if it increases production from 5,500 to 5,501 units is closest to $10.65.
Here, the fixed cost would not be relevant for the computation.
Incremental manufacturing cost when production level changed is
= Direct material cost per unit + Direct labor cost per unit + Variable manufacturing overhead per unit
= $6.25 + $3.20 + $1.20
= $10.65
In conclusion, the incremental manufacturing cost that the company will incur if it increases production from 5,500 to 5,501 units is closest to $10.65.

Suppose that Harry drinks one cup of coffee with his preferred three packs of creamer every day for seven days. What is his utility for that week
Answer:
21
Explanation:
The computation of the utility for that week is as follows:
Given that
There are three packs
Also it is for seven days
u(x,y) = min(3x,y)
C = 1
x = 1
y = 3
So,
u = min(3,3)
= 3
For 7 days it would be
= 7 × 3
= 21
Hence, the utility for that week is 21
1. Friedman distinguishes between the two concepts that (a) businesses really do act in ways to maximize profit and (b) businesses have a moral responsibility (or, as he puts it, a social responsibility) to act to maximize profit. How does he defend the latter position? (See both the Friedman and Sandbu readings)
Explanation:
Friedman defends the position that companies have a social responsibility to act to maximize profit, in the sense that, the primary function of companies is to generate profit. The author goes against the growing opinions in society that companies must have social responsibility, that is, they need to create a positive and sensitive corporate image to please political and society interests and counter or even soften the words and actions its central purpose, which is profit generation. For him, social responsibility cannot be politicized in order to be an obligation of companies, as it limits freedom and interests arising from the business.

Heating the hospital The pediatric department
The salary of the head of pediatrics The pediatric department
The salary of the head of pediatrics A particular pediatric patient
Hospital chaplain's salary A particular patient
Lab tests by outside contractor A particular patient
Lab tests by outside contractor A particular department
Answer:
Cost and Cost object / Explanation
a. The wages of pediatric nurses/The pediatric department
The wages of pediatric nurses are the costs and the pediatric department is the cost object and are directly related to each other. Wages is an element of direct cost. The wages of pediatric nurses relating to the pediatric department are Direct costs.
b. Prescription drugs / A particular patient
The prescription drugs are the costs and a particular patient is the cost object. The prescription drugs are direct costs as such costs are directly attributable to the treatment of a particular patient. This cost is incurred in direct proportion to the requirement of the pediatric patient.
c. Heating the hospital / The pediatric department

1-a. Allocate the lump-sum purchase price to the separate assets purchased. 1-b. Prepare the journal entry to record the purchase. 2. Compute the first-year depreciation expense on the building using the straight-line method, assuming a 15-year life and a $28,000 salvage value. 3. Compute the first-year depreciation expense on the land improvements assuming a five-year life and double-declining-balance depreciation.
Answer:
1. a. Allocated prices
First add the market values = 444,150 + 255,150 + 56,700 + 189,000 = $945,0
00
Building allocated price Land allocated price
= 444,150/ 945,000 * 830,000 = 255,150/945,000 * 830,000
= $390,100 = $224,100
Land improvement allocated price Four vehicles allocate price
= 56,700/945,000 * 830,000 = 189,000/945,000 * 830,000
= $49,800 = $166,000
b. Journal entry
Date Account Details Debit Credit
Jan. 1, 2017 Building $390,100
Land $224,100
Land improvement $49,800
Vehicles $166,000
Cash $830,000
2. Depreciation on building using straight-line method.
= (390,100 - 28,000) / 15
= $24,140
3. Depreciation on land improvements using double declining method.
First do straight line:
= 49,800/ 5 years
= $9,960
Straight line rate of depreciation = 9,960/49,800 = 20%
Double declining will be twice that rate = 40%
Depreciation = 40% * 49,800
= $19,920
On January 1, year 8, Derek Co.’s defined benefit pension plan had plan assets with a fair value of $750,000, and a projected benefit obligation of $875,000. In addition: Actual and expected return on plan assets – 7% Interest cost – 9% Service costs - $24,000 Unamortized prior service cost - $120,000 Employer contributions to the plan - $45,000 Distributions to employees from the plan - $60,000 Unamortized prior service cost is being amortized over the expected remaining service lives of covered employees, which consists of a total of 9 employees: 2 employees are each expected to have 9 years remaining 3 employees are each expected to have 6 years remaining 4 employees are each expected to have 1 year remaining How much amortization of prior service cost will be included in Derek Co.’s pension expense for year 8?
Answer: $27,000
Explanation:
Amortization of prior cost = (No. of employees / Total number of years left) * Unamortized prior service cost
Total number of years left:
2 employees are each expected to have 9 years remaining = 2 * 9
= 18 years
3 employees are each expected to have 6 years remaining = 3 * 6
= 18 years
4 employees are each expected to have 1 year remaining = 4 * 1
= 4 years
Total number of years = 18 + 18 + 4
= 40 years
Amortization of prior cost = (9 / 40) * 120,000
= $27,000

The following units of an inventory item were available for sale during the year. Use this information to answer the following questions.
Beginning inventory 10 units at $55
First purchase 25 units at $60
Second purchase 30 units at $65
Third purchase 15 units at $70
The firm uses the periodic inventory system. During the year, 60 units of the item were sold.
The value of ending inventory using FIFO is:________
a. $1,350
b. $1,150
c. $1,375
d. $1,250
Answer:
The value of ending inventory using FIFO is $1,375
Explanation:
Under FIFO the items of inventory purchases earlier will be sold first and the items purchased later will be sold at last.
First, we need to calculate the total available inventory units
Numbers of units available to sale = Beginning Inventory + First purchase + Second purchase + Third purchase = 10 units + 25 units + 30 units + 15 units = 80 units
Now 60 units out of 80 are sold the remaining 20 units ( 80 units - 60 units ) will be in the ending inventory.
As per FIFO 20 units will be values as per the last 20 units purchases which will be as follow
Ending Invetory = ( 15 units x $70 ) + ( (20-15) units x $65 ) = $1,375
Staley Co. manufactures computer monitors. The following is a summary of its basic cost and revenue data: Per Unit Percent Sales price $480 100 Variable costs 312 65 Unit contribution margin $168 35 Assume that Staley Co. is currently selling 600 computer monitors per month and monthly fixed costs are $80,000. Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 600 units are sold would be (round intermediate calculation up to nearest whole number of units): 79.5%. 19.5%. 33.4%. 17.7%. 20.5%.
Answer:
20.5%
Explanation:
Calculation for what Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 600 units are sold would be
First step is to calculate Break-even amount
Break-even = $80,000/($480-$312)
Break-even= 476.19
Break-even= 477 approximately
Second step is to calculate the Margin of Safety
Margin of Safety = 600-477
Margin of Safety= 123
Now let calculate the margin of safety ratio
Margin of safety ratio=123/600
Margin of safety ratio=20.5%
Therefore Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 600 units are sold would be 20.5%

Uncle Fred recently died and left $280,000 to his 45-year-old favorite niece. She immediately spent $80,000 on a town home but decided to invest the balance for her retirement at age 65. What rate of return must she earn on her investment over the next 20 years to permit her to withdraw $75,000 at the end of each year through age 80 if her funds earn 10 percent annually during retirement
Answer:
6.06%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of return is shown below:
Given that
NPER = 20 years
PV = ($280,000 - $80,000) = $200,000
PMT = $0
FV = $75,000 × PVIFA factor at 10% for 21 years
= $75,000 × 8.6487
= $648,652.50
The following formula should be applied
= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
The present value comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the rate of return is 6.06%
Sheffield Corp. applies overhead to production at a predetermined rate of 90% based on direct labor cost. Job No. 250, the only job still in process at the end of August, has been charged with manufacturing overhead of $11700. What was the amount of direct materials charged to Job 250 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is $45000
Answer:
$20,300
Explanation:
Calculation for What was the amount of direct materials charged to Job 250 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is $45000
Direct materials charged to Job 250=$45,000 - ($11,700 / .90) - $11,700
Direct materials charged to Job 250=$45,000 - $13,000- $11,700
Direct materials charged to Job 250= $20,300
Therefore the amount of direct materials charged to Job 250 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is $45000 will be $20,300
Margot starts a new business and contributes $20,000 in cash; she also borrows $25,000 from her local bank. She utilizes the cash to purchase supplies for $5,000 and a computer system for $10,000. After these transactions, the total claims to the company's total resources are:
Answer:
$45,000
Explanation:
Given the above information, total resources is computed as;
Total resources = Cash + Purchase supplies + Equipment computer system
But
Cash = $20,000 + $25,000 - $5,000 - $10,000 = $30,000
Total resources = $30,000 + $5,000 + $10,000 = $45,000

Calculate the growth rate in dividends. Round your answer to two decimal places. % Calculate the expected dividend yield. Round your answer to two decimal places. % Assuming that the calculated growth rate is expected to continue, you can add the dividend yield to the expected growth rate to obtain the expected total rate of return. What is this stock's expected total rate of return (assume market is in equilibrium with the required rate of return equal to the expected return)
Answer:
P0 = $19.20
D1 = $1.11
D2 = $1.1833
D3 = $1.2614
P3 = $23.26
a. Dividend growth rate = (1.2614-1.1833)/1.1833 = 0.0781/1.1833 = 0.06600186 = 6.60%
b. Expected Dividend Yield=(Expected Dividend/Price)*100 = $1.11/$19.20 = 0.0578125 = 5.78%
c. Total Rate of Return = 6.60% + 5.78% = 12.38%
