. Suppose you bought 100 shares of stock at an initial price of $37 per share. The stock paid a dividend of $0.28 per share during the following year, and the share price at the end of the year was $41. (1) What is your total dollar return on this investment
Answer: $428
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that one bought 100 shares of stock at an initial price of $37 per share and that the stock paid a dividend of $0.28 per share during the following year, and the share price at the end of the year was $41.
The total dollar return on this investment will be calculated as:
= 100(41 - 37 + 0.28)
= $428
Bernie and Phil's Great American Surplus store placed an ad in the Sunday Times stating, "Next Saturday at 8:00 A.M. sharp 3 brand new mink coats worth $5,000 each will be sold for $500 each! First come, First served." Marsha LufMin was first in line when the store opened and went directly to the coat department, but the coats identified in the ad were not available for sale. She identified herself to the manager and pointed out that she was first in line in conformity with the store's advertised offer and that she was ready to pay the $500 price set forth in the store's offer. The manager responded that a newspaper ad is just an invitation to negotiate and that the store decided to withdraw "the mink coat promotion." Review the text on unilateral contracts in Section 12(b) of Chapter 12. Decide.
Answer:
This technique is called "bait and switch", it is illegal and is considered false advertising. A seller cannot falsely advertise a product and then simply say that they do not have it on stock. It is a type of sales fraud and it is prohibited by the Lanham Act.
In order for this situation to be considered legal, the seller must have advertised and sold a certain amount of coats, but it didn't sell any. I.e. the seller runs out of stock because it already sold the 3 coats.
A deposit of $10,000 is made a year from now, a second deposit of $10,000 is made at the end of the year 5, and a deposit of $3000 is made at the end of year 8. The account earns 6% interest. You want to withdraw an equal amount, X at the end of each year for the next 10 years. What is the amount of X if the goal is to empty the account
Answer:
$4068.77
Explanation:
We calculate the Future value of all the three deposits at the end of year 8
FV = CF1 *(1+r)^8-1 + CF5*(1+r)^8-5 + CF8 * (1+r)^8-8
FV = 10000 *(1+0.06)^7 + 10000*(1+0.06)^3 + 3000 * (1+0.06)^0
FV = 15,036.30 + 11,910.16 + 3,000
FV= $29,946.46
We have to calculate the annuity payments that have a Present value = $29,946.46
PV = PMT * 1-(1+r)^-n / r
PV = 29,946.46, PMT= ?, r = 6%, n = 10
29,946.46 = PMT * 1-(1+0.06)^-10 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 1.06^-10 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 0.558395 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 0.441605 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 7.36008
PMT = 29,946.46/7.36008
PMT = 4068.768274257889
PMT = $4068.77
Thus, amount of X is $4068.77 if the goal is to empty the account.
On July 1, 2020, Culver Inc. made two sales. 1. It sold land having a fair value of $902,220 in exchange for a 4-year zero-interest-bearing promissory note in the face amount of $1,419,656. The land is carried on Culver's books at a cost of $590,900. 2. It rendered services in exchange for a 3%, 8-year promissory note having a face value of $402,150 (interest payable annually). Culver Inc. recently had to pay 8% interest for money that it borrowed from British National Bank.

Suppose there is a policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings:________.
Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings. The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms. However, if trade restrictions were temporarily imposed on ball bearings, the domestic ball-bearing industry could mature and adjust and would eventually be able to compete in the world market.
Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings?
A. Infant-industry argument
B. Saving-domestic-jobs argument
C. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
D. National-security argument
E. Unfair-competition argument
Answer:
Infant-industry argument
Explanation:
Here is a paraphrased version of the lobbyist's claim and it is from here that we get our answer.
"He claims that this industry in question is new and currently cannot compete with foreign industry".
What this tells us is that this industry in question is an infant industry. An infant industry is a new industry yet to be past it's developmental stage and which cannot be compete yet with other established industries.

To protect consumers from unfair credit practices, credit laws were established
-true
-false
Answer:
true
Explanation:
"It started with the Consumer Credit Protection Act of 1968, when Congress moved to shield consumers and their financial records from abuse. In the years following, other laws refined consumer rights, spelling out how the government can access bank customers’ information, how banks treat borrowers and the way banks handle customer deposits.
It all came to a head after the Great Recession in 2008, and out of that, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was formed, a new government agency dedicated to protecting consumers.
Today, there are countless laws, acts and regulations designed to protect consumers. The sheer number of laws can be overwhelming, but it is important that consumers understand their basic rights, so they can identify when those rights have been violated."

Precision Systems manufactures CD burners and currently sells 18,500 units annually to producers of laptop computers. Jay Wilson, president of the company, anticipates a 15 percent increase in the cost per unit of direct labor on January 1 of next year. He expects all other costs and expenses to remain unchanged. Wilson has asked you to assist him in developing the information he needs to formulate a reasonable product strategy for next year.
You are satisfied that volume is the primary factor affecting costs and expenses and have separated the semivariable costs into their fixed and variable segments. Beginning and ending inventories remain at a level of 1,000 units. Current plant capacity is 20,000 units. The following are the current-year data assembled for your analysis.
Sales price per unit $100
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $10
Direct labor $20
Manufacturing overhead and selling and administrative expenses 30 60
Contribution margin per unit (40%) $40
Fixed costs $390,000
Required:
a. What increase in the selling price is necessary to cover the 15 percent increase in direct labor cost and still maintain the current contribution margin ratio of 40 percent?
b. How many units must be sold to maintain the current operating income of $350,000 if the sales price remains at $100 and the 15 percent wage increase goes into effect?
c. Wilson believes that an additional $700,000 of machinery (to be depreciated at 20 percent annually) will increase present capacity (20,000 units) by 25 percent. If all units produced can be sold at the present price of $100 per unit and the wage increase goes into effect, how would the estimated operating income before capacity is increased compare with the estimated operating income after capacity is increased? Prepare schedules of estimated operating income at full capacity before and after the expansion.
Answer:
a. What increase in the selling price is necessary to cover the 15 percent increase in direct labor cost and still maintain the current contribution margin ratio of 40 percent?
estimated production costs per unit:
direct materials $10
direct labor $23
overhead $30
total $63
if we want contribution margin to remain at 40%, then selling price = $63 / (1 - 40%) = $105
to verify our answer, contribution margin = $105 - $63 = $42 / $105 = 40%
b. How many units must be sold to maintain the current operating income of $350,000 if the sales price remains at $100 and the 15 percent wage increase goes into effect?
if sales price doesn't change, then contribution margin = $37 (not $40)
units sold to keep profit at $350,000 = ($350,000 + $390,000) / $37 = 20,000 units per year
c. Wilson believes that an additional $700,000 of machinery (to be depreciated at 20 percent annually) will increase present capacity (20,000 units) by 25 percent. If all units produced can be sold at the present price of $100 per unit and the wage increase goes into effect, how would the estimated operating income before capacity is increased compare with the estimated operating income after capacity is increased? Prepare schedules of estimated operating income at full capacity before and after the expansion.
working at full capacity, sales price $100 (unchanged) and direct labor costs increasing by 15%
capacity 20,000 capacity 25,000
sales revenue $2,000,000 $2,500,000
direct labor $460,000 $575,000
direct materials $200,000 $250,000
overhead $600,000 $750,000
fixed costs $390,000 $670,000
operating revenue $350,000 $255,000
The expansion will result in lower operating profits ($95,000 less) so it should be discarded.
10. ________________ is the extent to which employees have positive or negative feelings about various aspects of their work.

The inventory of a large grocery store client is material, and it is the largest current asset on the balance sheet. The cost of inventory items ranges from very small amounts (like individual candy at the checkout line) to larger amounts (like prime meat and specialty deli items). Typical risks for a grocery store are theft and spoilage of inventory. During the second quarter, the client caught three employees in a scheme of stealing produce and meats from the store and selling them, at a discount, to friends and family. Based on an investigation by authorities and store management, the scheme had been operating for about two months.
Required:
Based on the information, evaluate which accounts and assertions are at risk of misstatement.
Answer:
The auditor of the large grocery store can identify the accounts at risk of misstatement to include Inventory account, Cost of Goods Sold account, and Accounts Payable account. They have some relationships. A misstatement in the Inventory account will lead to a misstatement in the Cost of Goods Sold, which eventually affects the Net Income.
The auditor should be aware that the assertions that are at risk of misstatement include existence, completeness, accuracy and valuation, and disclosure of Inventory. Assuming that the pilfering scheme had gone on for more months, the employees could have devised more sinister schemes.
Explanation:
The management of this large grocery store must attest to the assertions of existence, completeness, rights and obligations, accuracy and valuation, and presentation and disclosure with regard to the accuracy of the information contained in the financial statements: the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows. This implies that its management must declare that it has truthfully measured and presented the financial information about its activities.
Bonita Beauty Corporation manufactures cosmetic products that are sold through a network of sales agents. The agents are paid a commission of 18% of sales. The income statement for the year ending December 31, 2014, is as follows.
BONITA BEAUTY CORPORATION
Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 2014
Sales $75,000,000
Cost of goods sold
Variable $31,500,000
Fixed 8,610,000 40,110,000
Gross margin $34,890,000
Selling and marketing expenses
Commissions $13,500,000
Fixed costs 10,260,000 23,760,000
Operating income $11,130,000
The company is considering hiring its own sales staff to replace the network of agents. It will pay its salespeople a commission of 8% and incur additional fixed costs of $7,500,000.
Under the current policy of using a network of sales agents, calculate the Bonita Beauty Corporation
Answer: $56,040,000
Explanation:
Here is the question:
1.Under the current policy of using a network of sales agents, calculate the Bonita Beauty Corporation's break-even point in sales dollars for the year.
Sales = $75,000,000
Less: variable cost = $75,000,000 + ($75,000,000 × 8%) = $31,500,000 + $6,000,000 = $37,500,000
Contribution margin = $37,500,000
Fixed cost = 10,260,000 + 10,260,000 + 7,500,000 = $28,020,000
Operating income = $11,130,000
Contribution margin = 0.5
Break even point in sales will now be:
= Fixed cost/contribution margin ratio
= $28,020,000/0.5
= $56,040,000
Company sells a nature guide. The following information was reported for a typical month: Total Per Unit Sales $ 17,600 $ 16.00 Variable expenses 9,680 Contribution margin 7,920 Fixed expenses 3,600 Net operating income $ 4,320 What is Bear's current break-even point in unit and dollars
Answer:
500 units and $8,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Break even point in units
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= ($3,600) ÷ ($7,920 ÷ ($17,600 ÷ $16)
= ($3,600) ÷ ($7.2)
= 500 units
Now the break even point in dollars is
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= ($3,600) ÷ ($7.2 ÷ $16)
= $3,600 ÷ 0.45
= $8,000
We simply applied the above formula and the same is to be considered
The following expenditures were incurred by Tamarisk, Inc. in purchasing land: cash price $74,000, accrued taxes $4,400, attorneys’ fees $4,300, real estate broker’s commission $1,500, and clearing and grading $3,600. What is the cost of the land?
Answer:
$87,800
Explanation:
The following expenditures were incurred by Tamerisk incorporation when purchasing a land
Cash price = $74,000
Accured taxes = $4,400
Attorneys fee= $4,300
Real estate brokers commission = $1,500
Clearing and grading = $3,600
Therefore the cost of the land can be calculated as follows
= $74,000 + $4,400 + $4,300 + $1,500 + $3,600
= $87,800
Hence the cost of the land is $87,800

Consider the scenario:You work on the marketing team for a software development company. You have sales representatives in different locations around the globe. When a product update is released, your team holds teleconferences to demo new features. Due to time differences, these demos are difficult to schedule and usually require multiple demo sessions to accommodate different geographic regions. You want to streamline the new product demos and decide to recommend an electronic communication tool to help facilitate this. Which electronic communication tool would you recommend?A. A podcast.B. A wiki.C. An e-mail.
Answer:
(a) Businesses have adopted podcasting to communicate static material that doesn't need contact.
(b) Project management.
(c) A podcast
A further explanation is given below.
Explanation:
(a)
Podcasts should never be used to exchange legal or sensitive information because certain persons even within the company should readily determine it.(b)
Wikis could also be used for a fully customizable ecosystem which would be appropriate again for software engineering, as it means helping to work collaboratively, facilitate constructive criticism, as well as a supermarket recommendation for various use.(c)
Many persons may use podcasts throughout the current time, which does never demand conversation, it may be used to supplement the expensive conversation methods used. Emails as well as wiki shouldn't be used throughout this circumstance because that necessitates visuals among others to have been used.Demarco and Janine Jackson have been married for 20 years and have four children who qualify as their dependents (Damarcus, Janine, Michael, and Candice). The couple received salary income of $100,000 and qualified business income of $10,000 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $200,000 and they sold it for $250,000. The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $16,500 of itemized deductions, and they had $3,550 withheld from their paychecks for federal taxes. They are also allowed to claim a child tax credit for each of their children. However, because Candice is 18 years of age, the Jacksons may only claim the child tax credit for other qualifying dependents for Candice. (Use the tax rate schedules.)
Comprehensive Problem 4-55 Parts-c through f
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?
Answer:
a. Taxable income = $80,000
b. Taxable income = $77,600
c. Taxable income = $80,600
Explanation:
Taxable income refers to the amount of income that is used to determine the amount of tax that will be paid to the government by an individual or firm in given year. The taxable income is arrived at after all the relevant addition and allowable deductions have been made.
The requirements are therefore answered as follows:
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
Note: See part a of the attached excel file see the effect on taxable income.
The itemized deductions total of $28,000 instead of $16,500 makes the taxable income to be $80,000.
In the attached excel file, the following calculations is used:
Qualified business income deduction = Qualified business income * Parentage of deduction allowed = $10,000 * 20% = $2,000
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.
This makes the taxable income to be equal to $77,600.
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?
Note: See part c of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.
The loss of loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets incurred by the Jacksons is capital loss.
For tax purposes, capital loss of can be deducted as a loss on tax return by tax payers with a maximum of $3,000 to be deducted per year.
Therefore, the Jacksons will deduct $3,000 as a capital loss from their tax return, and the effect of this is to reduce the taxable income by $3,000.
This makes the taxable income to be equal to $80,600.

Gina made a down payment on a motorcycle. What incentive did she have for making a down payment?
O A tax break
O A higher loan rate
O A less secure loan
O A reduced time in debt
Because Gina made a down payment on a motorcycle, an incentive that she have for making such down payment is a reduced time in debt.
What do we mean by down payment?Basically, a down payment refers to the cash that the buyer pays upfront in a transaction and other large purchases. These payment are typically a percentage of the purchase price and can range from as little as 3% to as much as 20%
Here, she intends to purchase that motorbike on credit and by making a down-payment, she is reducing the amount she needs to borrow to buy the bike. So, a reduced loan amount means that Gina will require less to repay which implies that the interest to be paid will reduce.

An example of a pioneering cost is the cost of Multiple Choice hiring management personnel. competing with existing multinationals. promoting a new product. transport fees. retaining employees.
Answer:
C. promoting a new product.
Explanation:
A foreign direct investment (FDI) can be defined as an investment made by an individual or business entity (investor) into an investment market (industry) located in another country. The investor here, shares a different country of origin from the country where his investment is located.
When establishing a foreign direct investment, investors are required to consider some basic entry decisions such as free market, political stability, low inflation rates, pioneering costs etc.
In a foreign investment, pioneering cost arises because the business investment differs from that in the firm's domestic market and such it is necessary that, the firm dedicate a good deal of time, money (expenses) and efforts to learning and adapting to the market rules, policies and processes.
Hence, an example of a pioneering cost is the cost of promoting a new product, cost of enlightening and education of customers etc.
what has the U.S customs created to force importing companies like wal-mart to provide more detailed information about
Answer: The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT)
Explanation:
The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) is a partnership program between the public and private sector created by the US Customs to improve border and cargo security.
When a firm like Wal-Mart becomes a member of the CTPAT, the likelihood of their goods being examined at a port of entry falls but this is because of the oversight requirements imposed on the firms such as ensuring the members provide detailed information about their suppliers and transportation companies.
on an annal basis, the first set of expenses is ____% of the second set of expenses. MAria spends 17 dollars on lottery tickets every week and spends
Completion Question:
On an annualbasis, the first set of expenses is _______% of the second set of expenses. Maria spends $17 on lottery tickets every week and spends $133 per month on food. On an annual basis, the money spent on lottery tickets is % of the money spent to buy food. (Round to the nearest percent asneeded.)
Answer:
Maria's Spending
On an annualbasis, the first set of expenses is ____55.39___% of the second set of expenses. Maria spends $17 on lottery tickets every week and spends $133 per month on food. On an annual basis, the money spent on lottery tickets is 55.39 % of the money spent to buy food.
Explanation:
Maria spends $17 on lottery tickets every week
Therefore, every 4-week month, she spends $68 ($17 * 4) on lottery tickets
Normally, a year = 52 weeks.
Annually, Maria spends $884 ($17 * 52) on lottery tickets
Also
Maria spends $133 per month on food.
Normally, a year = 12 months.
Annually, she spends $1,596 ($133 x 12) on food
Ratio of Lottery tickets to Food annually:
= $884 : $1,596
= $884/$1,596
= 55.39%
or
0.5539 : 1
b) What is done here is to convert to each cost to its annual equivalent. The cost of Lottery tickets was converted from per week basis to per annum. The cost of food was converted from per month basis to per annum. These conversions make the two variables comparable, since they have been reduced to similar standards of measurement.
1. Rosa Green estimates the cost of future projects for a large contracting firm. Rosa uses precisely the same techniques to estimate the costs of every potential job and formulates bids by adding a standard profit markup. For some companies, to which the firm offers its services, there are no competitors also seeking their business, so Rosa's company is almost certain to get these companies as clients. For these jobs, Rosa finds that her cost estimates are right, on average. For jobs where competitors are also vying for the business, Rosa finds that they almost always end up costing more than she estimates.
a. True
b. False
2. Rosa is less likely to win the jobs where she underestimates the costs, causing her to experience the winner's curse.
a. False
b. True
Answer:
1) a. True
Rosa is almost always right when she knows that her company is a monopoly, i.e. has no competition, but is generally wrong when her company has to compete with other contractors. It is simple, a monopolist can decide which markup percentage to use, and can use a really high one, but when competition exists, markups are not so high and profits not so abundant. That is why she almost always gets it wrong when having to deal with other competitors.

The winner's curse usually happens when someone wins a bid over some contract or asset, but then they realize that the actual price of the contract or asset was lower than the bid. E.g. in an auction, two people are fighting over to see who buys an antique car which increases the price of the car way beyond the real market value. But it can also happen to a company that offers very low prices, and then after they won a contract, cannot perform properly because their actual costs are higher.
When a company makes an offer, they are certain about the price of the contract and they should know the value of the services or goods that they are offering. If Rosa underestimates her costs, and prepares her offer using unrealistically low costs, then she will probably win the bid but end up losing money.

Pham can work as many or as few hours as she wants at the college bookstore for $12 per hour. But due to her hectic schedule, she has just 15 hours per week that she can spend working at either the bookstore or other potential jobs. One potential job, at a café, will pay her $15 per hour for up to 6 hours per week. She has another job offer at a garage that will pay her $13 an hour for up to 5 hours per week. And she has a potential job at a daycare center that will pay her $11.50 per hour for as many hours as she can work.
If her goal is to maximize the amount of money she can make each week, how many hours will she work at the bookstore?
Answer:
4 hours
Explanation:
For Pham to maximize her income, she must consider the jobs with the highest per-hour earnings first. She has 15 hours to work. Her priorities should be as below.
Work at the cafe for 6 hours for $15 per hourWork at the garage for 5 hours for $13 per hourWork at the books store for 4 hours for $12 per hourA total of 15 hours. Pham can work at the book store for 4 hours per week to maximize her income.
Pham will have to work 4 hour per week at the bookstore to maximize her pay.
Given data
Total number of hours available per week = 15 hours
Cafe will pay her $15 per hour up to 6 hoursGarage offers $13 per hour up to 5 hoursDycare Centre offers $11.50 per hours for as long as she can workOut of the potential job, only the cafe and garage centre pay is more than the pay of bookstore
Hence, in order to maximize the amount of money, Pham have to devote 6 hours at the cafe, 5 hours at the garage centre and remaining 4 hours at bookstore,
In this way, the amount of money she will receives will be at maximum.
Working at Cafe she will make $15 * 6 = $90 Working at Garage centre she will make $13 * 5 = $65Working at Bookstore she will make $12*4 = $48Total amount she will earn = $90 + $65 + $48
Total amount she will earn = $203
Therefore, Pham will have to work 4 hour per week at the bookstore to maximize her pay.
