Answer:
$9,600
Explanation:
When you use the straight line depreciation method, the depreciation expense is the same for every year. The only difference can result if the asset was purchased during the year, and the depreciation for year 1 would only be partial and proportionate to the number of months of use.
In this case, the depreciation expense per year = (purchase price - residual value) / useful life = ($57,000 - $9,000) / 5 = $48,000 / 5 = $9,600 per year (the depreciation expense is the same for all the five years).
Summary: With 250,000 employees in 19 countries, Aramark wanted to motivate its employees who clean airplanes for Delta and Southwest Airlines. Turnover of the low-paid, largely immigrant staff was high while morale was low. Wallets and other valuables left on planes disappeared. After 5 years of efforts to increase motivation, revenue rose from $5 million to $14 million. 1. What motivation theories apply to the workers at Aramark? 2. If you were the manager of these employees, what would you do to motivate them? Be honest regarding your personal management style and beliefs rather than trying to be like Roy Pelaez. 3. What are some possible barriers to the effectiveness of your motivation ideas? What could you do to overcome them?
Answer:
Explanation:
(A)
What motivation theory applies to the workers at Aramark?
The workers should be motivated with payments for the return of valuables forgotten in the aircraft.
(B)
To motivate them, offer them a salary increase
(C)
Some possible barriers to the effectiveness of these motivation ideas are gluttony (depending on individual worker), a period of stiff or falling profit (which will hinder the smooth running of the new benefit policies), change of management.
(D)
What could you do, to overcome them?
To ensure that workers do not still steal forgotten valuables, place a check or supervision on them.
To ensure the profit level is maintained or increased, make sure the workers do not relent in their duties. Sometimes, more benefits make workers relax more.
Sending the product out to test families is a form of rev: 01_09_2015_QC_CS-37293 Multiple Choice idea generation. market testing. concept testing. alpha testing.
Answer: Market testing
Explanation:
Market Testing a very important part of the product development and marketing process. It helps a company find out what its potential market thinks of a certain product before it is released in full so that a company will know whether to release it in full or tweak some aspects that are problematic.
Market testing therefore involves sending samples of the new product to various types of customers who are potentials to enable them assess the product. Th product might be garnered towards serving families so it was sent to families as a form of market testing.

b) The indirect method of preparing the statement of cash flows starts with the net income and uses the balances in the balance sheet to determine if they are net cash outflows or inflows.
A company had the following cash flows for the year: (a) Purchased inventory, $60,000 (b) Sold goods to customers, $90,000 (c) Received loan from a local bank, $150,000 (d) Purchased land, $180,000 (e) Purchased treasury stock, $40,000 (f) Paid dividends, $10,000 (g) Sold delivery truck, $30,000 What amount would be reported for net investing cash flows on the Statement of Cash Flows
Answer:
($150000)
Explanation:
The computation of the net investing cash flows is shown below;
Purchase of land ($180,000)
Sale of delivery truck $30,000
Net Cash used in Investing activities ($150000)
The purchase of land is an outflow of cash and the sale of delivery truck is a inflow of cash so it would be shown in a negative and positive amount
Thus all other values would be ignored
you texpect to receive a payout from a trust fund in 3 years. The payout will be for $11000. You plan to invest the money at an annual rate of 6.5 percent until the account is worth $19000. how many years do you have to wait from today?
Answer:
11.68 years
Explanation:
For computing the number of years first we have to applied the NPER formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $11,000
Future value = $19,000
Rate of interest = 6.5%
PMT = $0
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(Rate;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the number of years is 8.68
Now after 3 years, it would be
= 8.68 + 3
= 11.68 years
A company's product sells at $12 per unit and has a $5 per unit variable cost. The company's total fixed costs are $98,000. The contribution margin per unit is:
Answer:
The contribution margin per unit is $7
Explanation:
The contribution margin per unit can be defined as the difference between the selling price per unit and the variable cost per unit.
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price - Variable cost
Contribution margin per unit = $12 - $5
Contribution margin per unit = $7
The contribution margin per unit is $7

If Piper Manufacturing manufactures one unique set of stack pipes, and the sell price is $121,000, the variable costs per unit are $62,000, and the fixed costs are $500,000, what is the break-even point in units
Answer:
8.47
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the break-even point in units is:
Break-even point in units=Fixed costs/(Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit)
Fixed costs= $500.000
Selling price per unit= $121,000
Variable cost per unit= $62,000
Break-even point in units=$500,000/($121,000-$62,000)
Break-even point in units=$500,000/59,000
Break-even point in units=8.47
According to this, the break-even point in units is 8.47.

Answer:
d. 2.83
Explanation:
Note: The financial statement in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the full question with the sorted financial statement.
The explanation to the answer is now as follows:
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that is used in measuring whether a company has adequate resources to meet its short-term obligations or pay its liabilities from its current assets.
The current ratio provides a comparison current assets to current liabilities of a company and it can be calculated using the following formula:
Current ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities ................. (1)
From the 2017 balance sheet of Burnaby Mountain Trading Company, we have:
Total current assets = $1,700,000
Total current liabilities = $600,000
Substituting the values for Total current assets and Total current liabilities into equation (1), we have:
Current ratio = $1,700,000 / $600,000 = 2.83
Therefore, The firm's current ratio for 2017 is 2.83. That is, the correct option is option d. 2.83.
This indicates that the firm has more than enough current assets to pay off 2.83 or 283% of its current liabilities.
Managers are important members of the organization. Within an organization, there are managers at four levels: top, middle, first-line, and team leaders.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: False.
Explanation:
To begin with, the managers are one of the most important parts of the organization due to the fact that they have the task to plan, organize, direct and control the operations of the company. There are at least three levels in which the managers can go and have their work done, like the management area(high), the department areas(middle) and the operations area(low): However, that will depend on the organization and its size due to that an organization can only have managers at one level.

The common stock of Sweet Treats is selling for $50.15 per share. The company is expected to have an annual dividend increase of 3.6 percent indefinitely and pay a dividend of $3.80 in one year. What is the total return on this stock?
Answer:
11.2%
Explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the total return on the stock.
From the question, Price = $50.15
Mathematically;
P = D1/Ke-g
D1 = $3.80
g = 3.60%
So let’s calculate Ke-g
50.15 = 3.8/ke-g
Ke-g = 3.8/50.15
Ke-g = 7.6%
but g = 3.6%
Total return Ke = 3.6% + g = 3.6% + 7.6% = 11.2%
Rockville, Inc. which uses a job costing system, began business on January 1, 20X3 and applies to manufacture overhead on the basis of direct labor cost. The following information relates to 20X3: Budgeted direct labor and manufacturing overhead were anticipated to be $200,000 and $250,000, respectively. Jobs number #1, #2, and #3 were begun during the year and had the following charges for direct material and direct labor:
Job number DM DL
#1 $145,000 $35,000

A 5-year corporate bond yields 7.0%. A 5-year municipal bond (tax exempt bond) of equal risk yields 5.0%. Assume that the state tax rate is zero. At what federal tax rate are you indifferent between the two bonds?
Answer:
The tax rate is approximately(rounded to a whole) 29%
Explanation:
The federal tax that would make an investor indifferent between the 5-year corporate bond and the 5-year municipal bond can be derived by equating the return on the former to the taxable return of the latter as below:
5%=7%*(1-t)
where the t is the unknown tax rate
Note that the return on 5-year corporate bond is taxable while the return on the municipal bond is tax-free
5%=7%*(1-t)
5%/7%=1-t
0.7143 =1-t
t=1-0.7143
t=29%
Ruby is 25 and has a good job at a biotechnology company. She currently has $10,000 in an IRA, an important part of her retirement nest egg. She believes her IRA will grow at an annual rate of 8 percent, and she plans to leave it untouched until she retires at age 65. Ruby estimates that she will need $875,000 in her total retirement nest egg by the time she is 65 in order to have retirement income of $20,000 a year (she expects that Social Security will pay her an additional $15,000 a year). a. How much will Ruby’s IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires? Use Exhibit 1-A. (Round FV factor to 3 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar.) b. How much money will she have to accumulate in her company’s 401(k) plan over the next 40 years in order to reach her retirement income goal? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
a. How much will Ruby’s IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires?
the future value of Ruby's IRA = $10,000 x 21.725 (FV factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $217,250
b. How much money will she have to accumulate in her company’s 401(k) plan over the next 40 years in order to reach her retirement income goal?
she needs to accumulate $875,000 - $217,250 = $657,750 during the next 40 years
the annual contribution = FV / FV annuity factor = $657,750 / 259.057 (FV annuity factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $2,539.02 per year
A stock has a variance of 0.02468, a current price of $28 a share, and an average rate of return of 14.4 percent. How is the coefficient of variation (CoV) computed
Answer: 1.09
Explanation:
Coefficient of Variation (CoV) is calculated by the formula;
= [tex]\frac{Standard Deviation}{Expected Return}[/tex]
The Variance is given. Standard Deviation is;
= √Variance
= √0.02468
= 0.15709869509
Coefficient of Variation is therefore;
= [tex]\frac{0.15709869509}{0.144}[/tex]
= 1.09096316037
= 1.09
"How much would an investor expect to pay for a $1,000 par value bond with a 9% annual coupon that matures in 5 years if the interest rate is 5%
Answer:
The answer is $1,173.18
Explanation:
N(Number of periods) = 5 years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 5percent
PV(present value or market price) = ?
PMT( coupon payment) = $90 ( 9percent x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 5; I/Y = 5; PMT = 90; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= -1,173.18
Therefore, the market price of the bond is $1,173.18
A job was timed for 60 cycles and had an average of 1.2 minutes per piece. The performance rating was 95%, and workday allowances are 10 percent. Determine each of the following:
a. Observed time.
b. Normal time.
c. Standard time.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a) Observation time is
= Average time
= 1.2 minutes
b) The Normal time is
= Observation time × performance rating
= 1.2 minutes × 0.95
= 1.14 minutes
3. The standard time is
= normal time × Allowance factor
where,
Normal time is 1.14 minutes
And, the Allowance factor is
= 1 ÷ (1- A)
= 1 ÷ (1- 0.1)
= 1.11
So, the standard time is
= 1.14 × 1.11
= 1.265 minutes.
nterest rates on 2-year Treasury securities are currently 6.0%, while 6-year Treasury securities yield 6.5%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what does the market believe that 4-year securities will be yielding 2 years from now
Answer:
The market believes that 4-years from now, the 4-year securities will be 6.75%
Explanation:
We proceed as follows using the pure expectations theory .
The theory states that the future rates are exclusively represented by the forward rate.
Mathematically;
(1 + .065)^6 = (1 + .^206)2 * (1 + x)^4
1.4591 = 1.1236 * (1 + x)^4
Divide both sides by 1.1236
1.2986 = (1 + x)^4
Take both sides to the 1/4 power to get rid of the power of 4
1.0675= 1 + x
x = .0675 or 6.75%

Semiannual Period-End Unamortized Discount Carrying Value
(0) January 1, issuance $13,466 $ 186,534
(1) June 30, first payment 11,782 188,218
(2) December 31, second payment 10,098 189,902
1. to record issue of bonds payable
Date Account Debit Credit
Dec 31,2020 Cash(carrying value) $ 186,534
Discount on bonds payable $13,466
Bonds payable $200,000
2. To record first interest payment
Date Account Debit Credit
june 30, 2021 Interest expense $7,684
discount on bonds payable $1, 684
Cash $6,000
Calculation =
Cash paid towards interest every semi annual period = $200,000 X 6% X1/2 =$6,000.
interest expense = cash paid + discount on bonds payable written off.
= $6000 + $1, 684 = $7,684
discount on bonds payable = unamortised discount on 31 dec - unamortised discount on 30th june) ($13,466 -11,782 ==$1,684)
3.To record second interest payment on december 31,2021.

discount on bonds payable = unamortised discount on 30th june - unamortised discount on 31st december 2021 =11,782-10,098 = $1.684
The profit leverage effect (ratio) is calculated by A. dividing 1.0 by the profit margin. B. dividing pretax earnings by the cost of goods sold. C. dividing sales by the cost of goods sold. D. none of the above
Answer:
D. none of the above
Explanation:
The profit leverage effect shows that in order to increase net profits, it is better and more efficient to reduce operating expenses rather than increasing total net sales revenue. I.e. a $1 decrease in costs increases operating profits by $1, which is much more than the increase resulting from increasing sales by $1.
Goodwin Technologies, a relatively young company, has been wildly successful but has yet to pay a dividend. An analyst forecasts that Goodwin is likely to pay its first dividend three years from now. She expects Goodwin to pay a $2.75000 dividend at that time (D₃ = $2.75000) and believes that the dividend will grow by 14.30000% for the following two years (D₄ and D₅). However, after the fifth year, she expects Goodwin’s dividend to grow at a constant rate of 3.72000% per year.
Goodwin’s required return is 12.40000%. Fill in the following chart to determine Goodwin’s horizon value at the horizon date (when constant growth begins) and the current intrinsic value.
To increase the accuracy of your calculations, do not round your intermediate calculations, but round all final answers to two decimal places.
Term Value
Horizon value $42.93
Current intrinsic value $29.84
1. If investors expect a total return of 13.40%, what will be Goodwin's expected dividend and capital gains yield in two years-that is, the year before the firm begins paying dividends?
2. Is this statement a possible explanation for why the firm hasn't paid a dividend yet?
A. Yes
B. NO
Answer:
horizon value at year 5 = Div₆ / (Re - g)
Div₆ = ($2.75 x 1.143²) x 1.0372 = $3.726384483Re = 12.4%g = 3.72%horizon value at year 5 = $3.726384483 / (12.4% - 3.72%) = $42.93
current value P₀ = $2.75/1.124³ + $3.14325/1.124⁴ + $46.52273/1.124⁵ = $1.937 + $1.969 + $25.932 = $29.838 ≈ $29.84
1) dividend yield = 0/$29.84 = 0%
capital gains yield = (P₁ - P₀) / P₀
P₁ = $2.75/1.124 + $3.14325/1.124² + $46.52273/1.124³ = $2.447 + $2.488 + $32.762 = $37.697 ≈ $37.70
capital gains yield = ($37.70 - $29.84) / $29.84 = 26.34%
2) Goodwin has yet to record a profit (positive net income). Is this statement a possible explanation for why the firm hasn't paid a dividend yet?
A. Yes
Since dividends must be paid out from net profits or retained earnings.
1. Dividend yield is = 26.34%
2. Goodwin has yet to record a profit (positive net income) Yes it is a correct statement.
Calculate Dividend Growth Rate
The horizon value at year 5 is = Div₆ / (Re - g)
Then, Div₆ is = ($2.75 x 1.143²) x 1.0372 = $3.726384483
After that, Re = 12.4%
Then, g = 3.72%
Now, When The horizon value at year 5 is = $3.726384483 / (12.4% - 3.72%) = $42.93
The current value P₀ is = $2.75/1.124³ + $3.14325/1.124⁴ + $46.52273/1.124⁵ is = $1.937 + $1.969 + $25.932 = $29.838 ≈ $29.84
1) dividend yield is = 0/$29.84 = 0%
After that, capital gains yield = (P₁ - P₀) / P₀
Hence, P₁ = $2.75/1.124 + $3.14325/1.124² + $46.52273/1.124³ = $2.447 + $2.488 + $32.762 = $37.697 ≈ $37.70
Therefore, capital gains yield = ($37.70 - $29.84) / $29.84 = 26.34%
2) Goodwin has yet to document a profit (positive net income). So, The correct option is = A. Yes
Since When The dividends must be paid out from net profits or retained earnings.

Consider a mutual fund with $200 million in assets at the start of the year and 10 million shares outstanding. The fund invests in a portfolio of stocks that provides dividend income at the end of the year of $2 million. The stocks included in the fund's portfolio increase in price by 8%, but no securities are sold and there are no capital gains distributions. The fund charges 12b-1 fees of 1%, which are deducted from portfolio assets at year-end. a. What is the fund's net asset value at the start and end of the year?
Answer:
At start = $20/share
At end = $21.384
Explanation:
DATA
ASSets at the start = $200m
Outstanding shares = 10m
Dividend income at the end = $2m
Gain in price = 8%
12b-1 fees = 1%
A.
Net assets at the start can be calculated by dividing assets at the start by outstanding shares
Net Assets value at start = Assets at start/Outstanding shares
Net Assets value at start = $200m/10m
Net Assets value at start = $20/share
Net Assets value at the end can be calculated by multiplying gain price with 12b-1 fees
Net assets value at the end = Gain Price x (1-12b-1 fees)
Net Assets value at the end = ($20x$1.08) x (1 - 0.01)
Net Assets value at the end = $21.6 x 0.99
Net Assets value at the end = $21.384

The CEO has given her secretary this material for a memo, but it is highly un-organized. Rewrite the memo so that the main point is first, that the memo flows in a much more logical order. Delete information not relevant to the main idea. Use strong subjects and verbs -- in other words, employ the principles we talked about in the lesson on writing.
To employees at a call center
I’m hoping you can send out a memo for me to all phone operators. As you might or might not be aware of, we’ve had some problems lately with operators asking for breaks, or simply taking them, at all sorts of time during their shift. While we are happy to be flexible, we do have a job to do and must have a certain amount of operators manning the phones at all times. Several times the phones have rung and rung with not enough people to answer them. Several supervisors have complained to me that their people have argued with them about combining their breaks and meal break to get an hour at one time. I feel like I need to put my foot down so that each supervisor doesn’t have to make their own decision. We need to remind folks of our policy on breaks and meal breaks through the day. Remind telephone operators that they should take the two 15 minute breaks allotted to them generally about halfway through a four-hour work period. If they want or need to take a break during another time, they should talk with their supervisor. But let folks know this should be under extraordinary circumstances. Stress that these should be extraordinary circumstances so we can count on enough people to be on the phones through the day. Meal breaks should be taken roughly halfway through their shift, but they should be coordinated with their supervisor. Several times, we’ve lost folks we were counting on, only to find that they were on break. Phone operators can stay at their desks and work on personal business, or simply each lunch, as long as they are not tying up resources. We’d prefer, though, that they go to the break rooms or leave their cubicles. We don’t want people to create the perception that they’re doing personal tasks during work time. I often eat at my desk but of course I’m not salaried employee. Oh, and we don’t want folks saving up their breaks and leaving work early. We need to staff our phones from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Our staggered schedule allows us to do that, but not if folks create their own schedules. Do people have to take their breaks? Yes, they do -- federal law mandates it. So tell them they just can’t skip the breaks, though why they’d want to I don’t know. By the way, it looks like we’ll be hiring in the new fiscal year, as we go ahead with that expansion into the Southeast. Should be about 20 to 25 new phone operators.
Answer:
TO EMPLOYEES AT A CALL CENTER
It is my aim to send out a memo to you all phone operators. As you might or might not be aware of, we have faced series of problems lately with operators asking for breaks, or simply taking them without express permission which ended up clashing with their shift time for work. While we are happy to be flexible, we need to remind you of our policy on breaks and meal breaks through the day.
Most times,when a call came in, there will be no one to attend to it. Several supervisors have tabled the complaints of their team members, about combining their normal breaks and meal break in-order to get an hour at one time. Despite being a noble suggestion, the employees and their supervisor should remember that, the working condition was explicitly stated in the contract agreement they signed before taking this job.
In a situation were there is extraordinary condition, the call operators should liaised with their supervisor and discuss about the need to take extra break time. Meal breaks should be taken roughly halfway through their shift, which should be under strict coordination by their supervisor. Phone operators can stay at their desks and work on personal business, or simply each lunch, as long as they are not tying up resources.
We would prefer, though, that they go to the break rooms or leave their cubicles. We don’t want people to create the perception that they’re doing personal tasks during work time. We need to staff our phones from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Our staggered schedule allows us to do that, but not if folks create their own schedules. Do people have to take their breaks?

Explanation:
Suppose Emilio offers you $500 today or $X in 10 years. If the interest rate is 6 percent, then at what value of X would you be indifferent between the two options
This question is impossible and implausible
Who is Emilio? How do we know he'll be around in 10 years? IS he good for the money, or is it counterfeit? Are we adjusting for inflation? The dollar is worth more in Malaysia than the U.S., so where are we starting and where are we ending? There's just not enough data here.
