Answer:
a. product modification
Explanation:
A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.
Generally, there are four (4) stages in the product-life cycle;
1. Introduction.
2. Growth.
3. Maturity.
4. Decline.

You own two bonds. Both bonds pay annual interest, have 6 percent annual coupons, $1,000 face values, and currently have 6 percent yields to maturity. Bond A has 12 years to maturity and Bond B has 4 years to maturity. If the market rate of interest rises unexpectedly to 7 percent, Bond _____ will be the most volatile with a price decrease of _____ percent.
Answer:
Bond A is most volatile and 7.94%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Particulars Bond A Bond B
Interest ($1,000 × 6%) $60 $60
Period 12 4
PVAF at 7 for 12 years 7.942886
PVAF at 7% for 4 years 3.387211
PVF at 7% for 12 years 0.444012
PVF at 7% for 4 years 0.762895
The present value of interest $476.56
($60 × 7.942686)
The present value of interest $203.2327
($60 × 3.387211)
Present value of fair value $444.012
($1,000 × 0.444012)
Present value of fair value $762.8952
($1,000 × 0.762895)
Present value $920.57 $966.1279
The decrease in percentage is
= ($1,000 - $920.57) ÷ $1,000
= 7.94%
Bond A is most volatile
Decca Publishing paid $230,000 to acquire Thrifty Nickel, a weekly advertising paper. At the time of the acquisition, Thrifty Nickel balance sheet reported total assets of $130,000 and liabilities of $70,000. The fair market value of Thrifty Nickels assets was $100,000. The fair market value of Thrifty Nickel liabilities was $70,000.
Required:
a. How much goodwill did Decca Publishing purchase as part of the acquisition of Thrift Nickel?
b. Journalize Decca Publishing's acquisition of Thrifty Nickel.
Answer:
Part a
$200,000
Part b
Debit : Investment in subsidiary $230,000
Credit : Cash $230,000
Explanation:
Goodwill is the excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Assets taken over at the acquisition date.
Assets and liabilities are taken over at their acquisition date Fair Values instead of Book Values so be sure to adjust any items shown at Book Value.
Net Assets = Assets at Fair Value - Liabilities at Fair Value
= $100,000 - $70,000
= $30,000
Goodwill = Purchase Price - Net Assets Taken over
= $230,000 - $30,000
= $200,000
Maxim Air Filters Inc. plans to borrow $300,000 for one year. Northeast National Bank will lend the money at 10 percent interest and requires a compensating balance of 20 percent. What is the effective rate of interest?Maxim Air Filters Inc. plans to borrow $300,000 for one year. Northeast National Bank will lend the money at 10 percent interest and requires a compensating balance of 20 percent. What is the effective rate of interest?
Answer: 12.5%
Explanation:
The effective rate of interest is simply referred to as the interest on a loan, savings account or financial product. Based on the information given in the question, the effective interest rate will be:
= Interest rate / (1 - CC)
where,
Interest rate = 10%
Compensating balance CC = 20%
= Interest rate / (1 - CC)
= 10% / (1 - 20%)
= 0.1 / (1 - 0.2)
= 0.1 / 0.8
= 0.125
= 12.5%
The effective interest rate is 12.5%

Agnes works for STARQUEST LTD in the IT department. Her supervisor is Morges. Agnes is very good at her job and Morges fears threatened by her. Over a period of several months he routinely criticizes her work and withholds information from her that she should have to do her job. Then he sends her emails telling her she has missed deadlines and committed other errors. Agnes tries to defend herself but this only angers Morges. The last straw for Agnes was Morges telling her she would be better off at home "taking care of her husband." Agnes complains to HR about Morges' conduct. STARQUEST LTD could be liable to Agnes for Morges' conduct under which of the following doctrines?
a. parens patriae.
b. res ipsa loquitur.
c. respondeat superior.
d. fairness doctrine.
Answer:
The answer is "Option c".
Explanation:
The whole teaching requires its principal (StarQuest ltd) to also be held liable for only certain acts unless the agent or worker speaks up which damages or injury. From the above case, Morges' behavior is inaccurate as well as the corporation is responsible for its behavior.
Parens patriae is indeed a principle that covers State intervention whenever a negligent parent is involved.Res ipsa loquitor is indeed a principle which, throughout the absence of evidence, makes misconduct or perhaps an accident as 'negligence.'In the fairness doctrine is concerned with both the transmission of contentious news not with the liability of even an undertaking for its conduct.Henna Co. produces and sells two products, T and O.

Besides possibly paying the premiums for a medical insurance plan, the insured is almost always responsible for making Other, out-of-pocket payments. This practice helps keep overall costs down for both insureds and the insurance companies and ensures that insureds are informed about the costs of health care.
For each Of the following scenarios, select which type Of other cost or provision is illustrated. Deion had routine surgery performed at his local hospital. All charges were within the reasonable and customary costs in his area.
a. Deductible
b. Internal limits
c. Coordination Of benefits
d. Participation (co-insurance)
Answer: b. Internal limits
Explanation:
Sometimes there will be internal limits on a policy which will usually be less than the general policy limits so as to limit the amount the insurance company will pay on certain goods such as surgical procedures.
This is therefore the relevant provision here because there is probably a cap on the amount that Deion's insurance company will pay on the surgery but as Deion was within acceptable costs, he won't have to pay for passing any internal limits.

Wilcox Corporation reported the following results for its first three years of operation: 2020 income (before income taxes): $300,000 2021 loss (before income taxes): $(2,700,000) 2022 income (before income taxes): $3,000,000 There were no permanent or temporary differences during these three years. Assume a corporate tax rate of 20% for 2020 and 2021, and 30% for 2022. Assuming that Wilcox elects to use the carryforward provision and not the carryback provision, what income (loss) is reported in 2021
Answer:
$1,890,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what income (loss) is reported in 2021
2021 Reported Income loss=[$2,700,000-($2,700,000 × 30%)]
2021 Reported Income loss=($2,700,000-$810,000)
2021 Reported Income loss=$1,890,000
Therefore the income (loss) that is reported in 2021 will be $1,890,000

policy?
A. Fiscal policy
B. Budget policy
C. Debt policy
O D. Monetary policy
D. Monetary policy

When the Federal reserve uses contractionary monetary policy to reduce inflation, it A. sells treasury securities increasing interest rates, leading to a stronger dollar that lowers net exports in an open economy. B. buys treasury securities increasing interest rates, leading to a weaker dollar that increases net exports in an open economy. C. buys treasury securities decreasing interest rates, leading to a weaker dollar that lowers consumption of durables in a closed economy. D. sells treasury securities decreasing interest rates, leading to a stronger dollar that lowers domestic investment in a closed economy.
Answer:
A. sells treasury securities increasing interest rates, leading to a stronger dollar that lowers net exports in an open economy.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve System ( popularly referred to as the 'Fed') was created by the Federal Reserve Act, passed by the U.S Congress on the 23rd of December, 1913. The Fed began operations in 1914 and just like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a United States government agency.
Generally, it comprises of twelve (12) Federal Reserve Bank regionally across the United States of America.
Like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a government agency that is saddled with the following responsibilities;
I. The Fed controls the issuance of currency in United States of America: it promotes public goals such as economic growth, low inflation, and the smooth operation of financial markets.
II. It provides banking services to all the commercial banks in the country because the Federal Reserve is the "lender of last resort."
III. It regulates banking activities in the United States of America: it has the power to supervise and regulate banks.
Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.
A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.
Generally, the government of a particular country could use a contractionary policy to slow down the economy when inflation is high and gross domestic product (GDP) is growing too.
Hence, when the Federal reserve (government) of the United States of America uses contractionary monetary policy to reduce inflation, it sells treasury securities at an increasing (high) interest rates, which eventually leads to a stronger dollar that lowers net exports (total trade) in an open economy.
Two of the different data categories for an HRIS database are: Group of answer choices information about people and information about the organization, information about the organization and information about the competitive environment information about people and information about market trends information about people and information about the competitive environment
Answer:
information about people and information about the organization.
Explanation:
A database management system (DBMS) can be defined as a collection of software applications that typically enables computer users to create, store, modify, retrieve and manage data or informations in a database. Generally, it allows computer users to efficiently retrieve and manage their data with an appropriate level of security.
A data dictionary can be defined as a centralized collection of information on a specific data such as attributes, names, fields and definitions that are being used in a computer database system.
In a data dictionary, data elements are combined into records, which are meaningful combinations of data elements that are included in data flows or retained in data stores.
This ultimately implies that, a data dictionary found in a computer database system typically contains the records about all the data elements (objects) such as data relationships with other elements, ownership, type, size, primary keys etc. This records are stored and communicated to other data when required or needed.
Human Resources Information System (HRIS) is simply used to gather or collect data (informations) about the employee working in an organization.
Hence, two of the different data categories for an HRIS database are information about people (employees) and information about the organization.

Assembly Finishing
Direct labor hours 190,000 DLH 149,000 DLH
Machine hours 390,000 MH 95,550 MH
Overhead costs $ 390,000 $ 581,100
TB MC Qu. 17-117 Assume that the Assembly Department allocates...
Assume that the Assembly Department allocates overhead based on machine hours, and the Finishing Department allocates overhead based on direct labor hours. How much total overhead will be assigned to a product that requires 1 direct labor hour and 3.4 machine hours in the Assembly Department, and 4.0 direct labor hours and 0.6 machine hours in the Finishing Department?
Answer:
Total allocated costs= $19
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate for each department:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Assembly= 390,000 / 390,000= $1 per machine hour
Finishing= 581,100 / 149,000= $3.9 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Assembly= 1*3.4= $3.4
Finishing= 3.9*4= $15.6
Total allocated costs= $19
Pique Corporation wants to purchase a new machine for $300,000.Management predicts that the machine can produce sales of $200,000 each year for the next 5 years.Expenses are expected to include direct materials,direct labor,and factory overhead (excluding depreciation)totaling $80,000 per year.The firm uses straight-line depreciation with no residual value for all depreciable assets.Pique's tax rate is 40%.Management requires a minimum 10% rate of return on all investments.What is the payback period for the new machine (rounded to nearest one-tenth of a year)? (Assume that the cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. )
A) 2.5 years.
B) 2.7 years.
C) 3.1 years.
D) 3.6 years.
E) 4.2 years.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow
Cash flow = profit after tax + depreciation
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(300,000 - 0) / 5 = $60,000
Profit after tax = (1 - tax rate) x (sales - expenses - depreciation)
0.6 x ($200,000 - $80,000 - $60,000) = $36,000
Cash flow = $36,000 + 60,000 = 96,000
Payback period = $300,000 / $96,000 = 3.1 years

The following information relates to the manufacturing operations of the Abbra Publishing Company for the year: Beginning Ending Raw materials inventory$547,000 $610,000 The raw materials used in manufacturing during the year totaled $1,018,000. Raw materials purchased during the year amount to: Multiple Choice $955,000. $892,000. $1,565,000. $408,000.
Answer:
Purchases= $408,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning Ending Raw materials inventory$547,000 $610,000
The raw materials used in manufacturing during the year totaled $1,018,000
To calculate the direct material purchased, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= direct material used in production - ending inventory
Purchases= 1,018,000 - 610,000
Purchases= $408,000
The Payback Period Rule states that a company will accept a project if: Multiple Choice The calculated payback is less than three years for all projects. The calculated payback is less than a pre-specified number of years. We can recover the costs in a reasonable amount of time. The project stays within budget. The project increases shareholder value
Answer:
The calculated payback is less than a pre-specified number of years.
Explanation:
Project management can be defined as the process of designing, planning, developing, leading and execution of a project plan or activities using a set of skills, tools, knowledge, techniques and experience to achieve the set goals and objectives of creating a unique product or service.
Generally, projects are considered to be temporary because they usually have a start-time and an end-time to complete, execute or implement the project plan.
The net present value (NPV) of a project can be defined as the difference between present value of cash-inflow into a project and that of cash-outflow over a specific period of time. Thus, it is simply the value of all cash-flows for a project with respect to its life span.
The Payback Period Rule states that a company will accept a project if the calculated payback is less than a pre-specified number of years.
Additionally, investors and project managers are advised to only invest in projects that are having a positive net present value that is greater than or equal to zero.
The following information relates to Mountain Transportation for its first year of operations (data in millions of dollars): Pretax accounting income: $ 300 Pretax accounting income included: Overweight fines (not deductible for tax purposes) 8 Depreciation expense 80 Depreciation in the tax return using MACRS: 160 The applicable tax rate is 40%. There are no other temporary or permanent differences. Mountain's net income ($ in millions) is:
Answer:
the net income is $176.80 millions
Explanation:
The computation of the net income is shown below"
Pre tax accounting income $300
Less: income tax expense
tax payable (($300 + $8 - $80) × 40%) -$91.2
Deferred tax liability ($80 × 0.40) -$32
net income $176.80
Hence, the net income is $176.80 millions
We simply deduct the income tax expense from the pre tax accounting income so that the net income could come
Historical Art is a new business. During its first year of operations, credit sales were $50,000 and collections from credit sales were $34,000. One account for $500 was written off. Management uses the percent-of-sales method to account for bad debts expense and estimates 3% of credit sales to be uncollectible. What is the balance of accounts receivable at the end of the first year?
Answer: $1000
Explanation:
First, we calculate the amount if bad debt expense which will be:
= 3% × $50000
= $1500
Therefore, the balance of accounts receivable at the end of the first year will be:
= Amount of bad debts expense - Account written off
= $1500 - $500
= $1000
One traditional source of capital involves retaining the excess of revenues over expenses. The Kay-z Pharmaceutical Company, a for-profit corporation, is a relatively small start-up company. As a start-up, Acme has recorded operating losses for each of its five years of existence. The company now needs to raise more capital for research and development. Will retaining the excess of revenues over expenses be a possible source of capital for Acme?
a. Yes
b. No
c. Not applicable
Answer:
Acme Pharmaceutical Company (or is it Kay-z?)
Retaining the excess of revenues over expenses as a possible source of capital for Acme:
c. Not applicable
Explanation:
The retention of retained earnings cannot be applicable in this case because for the past five years of its existence the company had recorded operating losses. It had not retained any profits so far. This means that there is no internally-generated source of financing for the company. It can only rely on outside finance in the form of equity (stockholders) or debt (creditors).
Moonbeam Company manufactures toasters. For the first 8 months of 2020, the company reported the following operating results while operating at 75% of plant capacity:
Sales (358,400 units) $4,377,000
Cost of goods sold 2,590,720
Gross profit 1,786,280
Operating expenses 837,760
Net income $948,520
Cost of goods sold was 70% variable and 30% fixed; operating expenses were 80% variable and 20% fixed. In September, Cullumber receives a special order for 24,500 toasters at $8.38 each from Luna Company of Ciudad Juarez. Acceptance of the order would result in an additional $2,900 of shipping costs but no increase in fixed costs.
Required:
Prepare an incremental analysis for the special order.
Answer:
Net Income will increase by $32,625
Explanation:
The Incremental analysis for the special order is done below:
Reject Order Accept Order Net Income -
Increase/(decrease)
Revenue $0.00 $205,310 $205,310
Cost of goods Sold $0.00 ($123,970) ($123,970)
Operating Expense $0.00 ($48,715) ($48,715)
Net Income $0.00 $32,625 $32,625
Revenue
This is calculated by multiplying the number of units of special order with the price per unit i.e. $8.38. As shown below:
24,500 x $8.38 = $205,310
Cost of Goods Sold
As there is only change in the variable cost due to the manufacturing of additional units. Therefore, we would calculate the additional variable cost by multiplying the number of units with the variable cost per unit.
Variable Cost per unit = (2,590,720 * 70%) / 358,400 units = $5.06 per unit
Cost of Goods Sold = 24,500 x $5.06 = $123,970
Operating expense
As there is only change in the variable cost due to the manufacturing of additional units. Therefore, we would calculate the additional variable cost by multiplying the number of units with the variable cost per unit. Then we would add the additional shipping cost of $2,900/
Operating Expense Variable Cost per unit = (837,760 * 80%) / 358,400 units = $1.87 per unit
Operating Expense = 24,500 x $1.87 = $45,815 + $2900 = $48,715
