Answer:
a. No. A state court will do a better job in this case because it exercises unlimited jurisdiction. Moreover, you can only bring your case to a federal court if the amount of your claim is up to $75,000 or the issue is exclusive to the federal court. This is not the case here.
b. Yes and No. We need some additional information about the accident location to help answer this question definitively.
c. No. You should not consider accepting the offered settlement. The jury award is meant to pay for your medical bills and also to help you recover financially as though the accident did not happen in the first place. Accepting any lesser amount after the judgment is rendered is in bad taste. The other party should have negotiated to settle out of court before the final judgment was rendered. But it did not. So, go with the jury award.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Missed work for 15 weeks
Total medical bills incurred = $50,000
Total lost wages incurred = $15,000
Jury award = $100,000 ($50,000 for medical, $15,000 for lost wages and $35,000 for punitive damages)
Settlement offer = $50,000
During the current year, Alpha sold inventory to Beta for $100,000. As of year end, Beta had resold only 60 percent of these intra-entity purchases. Alpha sells inventory to Beta at the same markup it uses for all of its customers. What is the total for consolidated cost of goods sold
Answer:
a. $173,000
Explanation:
Missing word "Alpha Company owns 80 percent of the voting stock of Beta Company. Alpha and Beta reported the following account information from their year-end separate financial records: Alpha Beta Inventory $95,000 $88,000 Sales Revenue 800,000 300,000 Cost of Goods Sold 600,000 180,000 During the current year, Alpha sold inventory to Beta for $100,000."
Percentage of profits Alpha charge to other customers = ($800,000 - $600,000) / $800,000 = 25% of sales
Stock held at year end by beta from the purchases made from Alpha = $100,000 * 40% =$40,000
Profit involved in stock held by beta from the purchases made from Alpha = $40,000 * 25% = $10,000
So, Value of stock of Beta = $88,000 - $10,000 = $78,000
Hence, Total for consolidated inventory = $95,000 + $78,000 = $173,000
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

Webber Technologies is an emerging manufacturer of 3.5 inch diagonal touch screens for mobile communication devices/media players. 2011 industry sales were reported at 17.50 million units. This number represents an 17.7 % increase over 2010 industry sales. Webber Technologies had a 2010 market share of 5.9 %, compared with a 2011 market share of 4.2%. What was the change in unit sales for Webber Technologies, from 2010 to 2011, attributable to the change in industry sales
Answer:
Industry Sales (2011) = 17,500,000
Industry Sales (2010) = Sales of 2011/1+growth = 17,500,000/1+17.7% = 17,500,000/1.177 = $14868309.26083263 = $14,868,309.26
Company Sales (2011) = 17,500,000 * 4.2% = $735,000
Company Sales (2010) = 14,868,309.26 * 5.9% = $877,230.25
Change in units = Company sales in 2011 - Company Sales in 2010 = $735,000 - $877,230.25 = $142,230.25
Change due to change in Industry growth = Company Sales in 2010 * 17.7% = $877,230.25 * 17.7% = 155,269.75
So, there is net increase of 155,269.75 units of sales due to industry growth.
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

The statement "The courts ruled that the pay disparity between the sexes at Jaxon Corp. was illegal and ordered the company to remedy it. Jaxon Corp. cannot lower the wages of the higher-paid group in order to comply with the law" is true.
What is disparity?The disparity can be defined as a lack of equality or likeness, particularly in an unfair way: the widening discrepancy between the affluent and poor.
Inequalities in other parts of society, such as the legal system, education, academe, commercial institutions, and politics, are referred to as social disparities. Most of the time, the social discrepancies listed above are the result of other disparities, such as economic disparity, gender disparity, or racial disparity.
The courts determined that Jaxon Corp.'s wage inequality between the sexes was unconstitutional and ordered the corporation to correct it. To comply with the legislation, Jaxon Corp. cannot reduce the compensation of the higher-paid group. Therefore, the above statement is true.

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.

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%
You have graduated from college but unfortunately have $39,000 in outstanding loans. The loans require payments of $3,435 per year, which covers interest and principal repayment (that is, the loan has the same basic features as a mortgage). If the interest rate is 4 percent, how long will it take you to repay the debt
Answer:
15.44 years
Explanation:
Using both excel rate function and financial calculator, the time taken to repay the debt can be computed thus:
Excel rate function:
=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)
rate= interest rate=4%
pmt=yearly payment=c
pv=loan oustanding=-39000
fv=the balance after all payments should be zero=0
=nper(4%,3435,-39000,0)= 15.44 years
Financial calculate
PMT= 3435
RATE=4
PV=-39000
FV=0
CPT N=15.44 years
This means a payment of $3,435 per year for 15 years and $ 1,511.40 ($3,435*0.44) in the sixteenth year
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
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.

Assume General Electric Company reports the following footnote in its 10-K report. December 31 (In millions) 2016 2015 Raw materials and work in process $ 5,527 $ 5,042 Finished goods 5,152 4,806 Unbilled shipments 333 402 11,012 10,250 Less revaluation to LIFO (697) (661) $10,315 $ 9,589 The company reports its inventories using the LIFO inventory costing method. Assume GE has a 35% income tax rate. As of the 2016 year-end, how much has GE saved in taxes by choosing LIFO over FIFO method for costing inventory
Answer:
$ 244 million
Explanation:
Calculation for how much has GE saved in taxes by choosing LIFO over FIFO method for costing inventory
Tax rate Amount (In millions)
LIFO $ 10,315.00 35% =$ 3,610.25
FIFO $ 11,012.00 35% =$ 3,854.20
Savings in taxes $ (697.00) $ (243.95)
Hence,
Savings in taxes=$ 3,610.25 million-$ 3,854.20 million
Savings in taxes=($243.95 million)
Savings in taxes=($ 244 million) Approximately
Therefore the amount that GE saved in taxes by choosing LIFO over FIFO method for costing inventory will be $ 244 million
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.
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
