"What are your goals when responding to the previous scenario"? Check all that apply. You are the owner of a cell phone store. A customer recently sent back a phone that she purchased at your store. She claims the phone won’t turn on. After examining the phone, you notice it has excessive water damage and is beyond repair. Unfortunately, the customer’s warranty expired three months ago.

Answers

Answer:

B. Explain clearly and completely.

C. Be fair.

D. Convey empathy and sensitivity.

Explanation:

The warranty for the device has already expired and it can be inferred that the water damage was from the customer because the warranty expired a while back. Since you cannot refund her, the best course of action is to explain to the customer in a clear, concise and complete tone, the problem with the phone. You should not place blame on the customer but rather be fair in your assessment. Your tone should also convey sensitivity and empathy because this is a problem that could happen to anyone and they need to know that.

Lassen Corporation sold a machine to a machine dealer for $37,250. Lassen bought the machine for $68,000 and has claimed $22,500 of depreciation expense on the machine. What gain or loss does Lassen realize on the transaction

Answers

Answer:

Loss of $8,250

Explanation:

Lassen corporation sold a machine to a machine dealer at a price of $37,250

Lassen bought the machine for $68,000

He claimed $22,500 of depreciated expenses on the machine

Therefore, the gain or loss realized on the transaction can be calculated as follows

Gain/loss= Cash received-book value

Book value= Original basis-accumulated depreciation

= $68,000-$22,500

= $45,500

Gain/loss= $37,250-$45,500

= $8,250

Hence Lassen realized a loss of $8,250 on the transaction

A put on XYZ stock with a strike price of $40 is priced at $2.00 per share, while a call with a strike price of $40 is priced at $3.50. What is the maximum per-share loss to the writer of the uncovered put and the maximum per-share gain to the writer of the uncovered call

Answers

Answer:

Loss = $38

Gain = $3.5

Explanation:

The calculation of maximum per-share loss and maximum per-share gain is shown below:-

Maximum loss = Exercise price - Premium received

= $40 - $2

= $38

So, the maximum per share loss is $38

Maximum gain = Premium received

= $3.5

So, the maximum per share gain is $3.5

The rate of return on the common stock of Lancaster Woolens is expected to be 18 percent in a boom economy, 8 percent in a normal economy, and only 2 percent in a recessionary economy. The probabilities of these economic states are 12 percent for a boom and 10 percent for a recession. What is the variance of the returns on this common stock

Answers

Answer:

Variance of the return on this common stock is 0.15%

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the variance of the returns on this common stock.

Note that the probability of a normal economy can be obtained as follows:

Probability of normal economy = 100% - Probability of a boom - Probability of a recession = 100% - 12% - 10% = 78%

These probabilities are used in the attached excel file.

A total of 36 direct labor-hours and 234 machine-hours were worked on the job. The direct labor wage rate is $18 per labor-hour. The Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $25 per machine-hour. The total cost for the job on its job cost sheet would be:

Answers

Answer:

Total cost= $8,606

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Job 450:

Direct materials= $2,108

A total of 36 direct labor-hours and 234 machine-hours were worked on the job.

The direct labor wage rate is $18 per labor-hour.

The predetermined overhead rate is $25 per machine-hour.

We need to calculate the total cost for Job 450:

Direct materials= 2,108

Direct labor= 36*18= 648

Overhead= 234*25= 5,850

Total cost= $8,606

Farrow Co. expects to sell 200,000 units of its product in the next period with the following results:

Sales (200,000 units) $3,000,000

Costs and expenses:
Direct materials 400,000
Direct labor 800,000
Overhead 200,000
Selling expenses 300,000
Administrative expenses 514,000
Total costs and expenses 2,214,000
Net income $786,000

The company has an opportunity to sell 20,000 additional units at $13 per unit. The additional sales would not affect its current expected sales. Direct materials and labor costs per unit would be the same for the additional units as they are for the regular units. However, the additional volume would create the following incremental costs:

1. total overhead would increase by 15%
2. administrative expenses would increase by $86,000.

Required:
Calculate the combined total net income if the company accepts the offer to sell additional units at the reduced price of $13 per unit.

Answers

Answer:

Combined net income =$810,000

Explanation:

In order to carry out an incremental analysis, only relevant cash flows should be considered.

The relevant cash flows from accepting the special order are the variable costs and the sales revenue plus the incremental cost of overhead and administrative cost . Please, note that the fixed costs are not relevant for this decision. Simply because they would be incurred either way.

The relevant cash flows include:

The sales revenueThe variable cost And the increase in overhead  and administrative cost

Selling price per unit = $13

Variable cost per unit of additional sales

= (Direct material + Direct labour cost)/200,000 = 6

Analysis of incremental net income

                                                                                            $

Additional sales revenue ( 13×× 20,000)  =              260,000

Incremental variable cost (6 × 20,000)    =                 120000

Incremental overhead        (15%× 200,000)  =           (30000)

Incremental admin cost                                             (86,000)

Net income from additional sales                               24,000

Combined net income = original Net income + Additional  net income

= 786,000  +   24000  = $810,000

Combined net income =$810,000

The standard direct labor rate is $9 per hour. At the end of June, the actual direct materials and direct labor costs were as follows: Actual direct materials $33,400 Actual direct labor 8,000 Total $41,400 There were no direct materials price or direct labor rate variances for June. In addition, assume no changes in the direct materials inventory balances in June. Bezco Toy Company actually produced 21,600 units during June. Determine the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances. Round your per unit computations to two decimal places, if required. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. Direct materials quantity variance $ 2.5 Favorable Direct labor time variance

Answers

Answer:

$1,000 unfavorable and $224 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the direct material quantity variance and the direct labor time variance is shown below:

For direct material quantity variance:

= (Standard direct materials ÷ bugeted toy × actually produced) - actual direct materials

= ($36,000 ÷ $24,000 × 21,600 units) - $33,400

= $32,400 - $33,400

= $1,000 unfavorable

For direct labor time variance

= (Standard direct labor ÷ bugeted toy × actually produced) - actual direct labor

=  ($8,640 ÷ $24,000 × 21,600 units) - $8,000

= $7,776 - $8,000

= $224 unfavorable

A financial asset is liquid: Group of answer choices if it can be readily exchanged for another asset or good. if it is held by the public and earning interest. only if it takes the form of cash. if it can be carried easily from one place to another.

Answers

Answer:

if it can be readily exchanged for another asset or good

Explanation:

An asset is liquid if it can be easily be exchanged for another asset or good or converted to cash. cash ( currency)  is the most liquid asset.

an house for example is less liquid when compared to cash. this is because before it can be converted to cash or exchanged for another asset, it must first be valued, then we have to find a buyer and this process can range from days to years. this makes a house less liquid when compared with a house.

Gordon purchased real estate for $900,000 and listed title to the property as "Gordon and Fawn, joint tenants with right of survivorship." Gordon predeceases Fawn when the real estate is worth $2,900,000. Gordon and Fawn are brother and sister.
What are the gift and estate tax consequences?
If an amount is zero, enter "0".
a. Gordon made a gift when the real estate was purchased of $_____ to Fawn.
b. Gordon's estate must include $______ as to the property.
c. How would the estate tax consequences change if it was Fawn (not Gordon) who died?
Fawn's estate would include $___0___ as to the property.

Answers

Answer:

a. Gordon made a gift when the real estate was purchased of $450,000 to Fawn.

Since Gordon gave 50% of the real estate to his sister as a gift when he purchased it, the gift must be valued at the time it happened ($900,000 x 50%)

b. Gordon's estate must include $2,900,000 as to the property.

Gordon purchased all the real estate by himself, so his estate must include the value of the whole property.

c. How would the estate tax consequences change if it was Fawn (not Gordon) who died?

Fawn's estate would include $0 as to the property.

Since Fawn didn't buy the property, her estate cannot include any amount of it.

An important tool in predicting the volume of activity, the costs to be incurred, the sales to be made, and the profit to be earned is:

Answers

Answer:

Cost-volume-profit analysis.

Explanation:

An important tool in predicting the volume of activity, the costs to be incurred, the sales to be made, and the profit to be earned is cost-volume-profit analysis. It is an important tool in accounting that is used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating financial statements, both income and net income. It is also an accounting concept known as the break even analysis.

In order to use this cost-volume-profit analysis, accountants usually make some assumptions and these are;

1. Sales price per unit product is kept constant.

2. Variable costs per unit product are kept constant.

3. Total fixed costs of production are kept constant.

4. All the units produced are sold.

5. The costs accrued are as a result of change in business activities.

6. A company selling more than a product should simply sell in the same mix.

Two college students share an apartment and split the cost of​ heating, electricity, and rent. They decide to include one more roommate and divide​ heat, electricity, and rent costs three ways instead of two ways.
If adding the third roommate reduces the amount of money they each pay for utilities and rent each​ month, this can be described​ as:_____________

Answers

Answer:

increasing returns to scale.

Explanation:

The returns to scale mean the rate at which there is change in the output when the inputs are changed by a similar factor

While on the other hand, an increasing return to scale refers that if there is an increase in input so by a larger proportion, the output is also increased as compared with the input  

Therefore according to the given situation, since by adding the third roommate,  it declines the amount of money by each one in respect to rent, utilities so it describes the increasing return to scale

Pooler Corporation is working on its direct labor budget for the next two months. Each unit of output requires 0.15 direct labor-hours. The direct labor rate is $7.00 per direct labor-hour. The production budget calls for producing 6,500 units in April and 6,200 units in May. If the direct labor work force is fully adjusted to the total direct labor-hours needed each month, what would be the total combined direct labor cost for the two months?

Answers

Answer:

$13,335

Explanation:

Required production in units for April and May are 6,500 units and 6,200 units respectively.

Direct labor hours needed is 0.15 for both months.

Total direct labor hours needed for each month would be;

April

= 6,500 units × 0.15

= 975

May

=6,200 units × 0.15

= 930

Direct labor rate per hour for each months is $7

Total direct labor cost for April would be;

= $7 × 975

= $6,825

Total direct labor cost for May would be;

= $7 × 930

= $6,510

Therefore, total direct labor cost for both months April and May would be;

= $6,825 + $6,510

= $13,335

The charter of a corporation provides for the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock. Assume that 30,000 shares were originally issued and 5,000 were later reacquired. what is the number of shares outstanding?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 25,000 shares.

Explanation:

The 100,000 shares is the authorised shares which is the maximum number of shares an entity is permittee to issue to investors as being stipukated in its articles of incorporation.

The 30,000 shares is the outstanding shares which is the total number of shares issued to existing shareholders.

The 5,000 shares reacquired is known as treasury stock. Companies repurchased the shares.

So total number of outstanding shares is:

30,000 shares - 5,000 shares

= 25,000 shares

The number of shares outstanding is 25,000.

The calculation is as follows:

= Originally issued - reacquired shares

= 30,000 - 5,000

= 25,000

Therefore we can conclude that The number of shares outstanding is 25,000.

When you send off the proposal three days later, you inadvertently learn from the client that he never received any correspondence from your coworker. "What dimension of professional behavior did your coworker violate when with the prospective client?

Answers

The question is incomplete:

You work for AdSmart, a marketing research firm. You and a new coworker are meeting a potential client for lunch. You have several morning meetings on the same day as the lunch meeting, so you arrange to meet your coworker and the potential client at 12:15 p.m. at the restaurant. You arrive five minutes early, and the prospective client arrives shortly thereafter. You both wait in the lobby until 12:35 p.m. when you decide to be seated. You check your smart  phone and see no received communications from your colleague. Finally, at 12:45 p.m., your coworker arrives.

During the lunch, your coworker tells several white lies and reveals information regarding your boss that should have been kept confidential.  The prospective client doesn't seem to notice these indiscretions, however, when your coworker begins to badmouth his former employer, a competitor of AdSmart, the client appears ill at ease.

Despite the rough start to the lunch meeting, all ends well. You believe that with the appropiate follow-up, the potential client will become one of the firm's more lucrative partnerships. Once you are back at the office, you debrief with your coworker and discuss the next steps. You decide to take on the task of putting together the proposal the client has requested, and your colleague agrees to send a follow-up note thanking the client and indicating that the proposal will arrive within the next week.

When you send off the proposal three days later, you inadvertently learn from the client that he never received any correspondence from your coworker. "What dimension of professional behavior did your coworker violate when with the prospective client?

Answer:

Courtesy and respect

Explanation:

The dimension of professional behavior that your coworker violated with the prospective client is courtesy and respect. He violated courtesy because it is about being polite and he was not polite because he arrived late to the meeting and he didn't let you know about it.

Also, he violated responsibility because it is about doing the things that you are in charge of and he was in charge of sending a follow-up note and he didn't do it.

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 exceeds 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

The purchase of chocolate would be added to GDP as part of consumption spending on non durable items.

the purchase of the antique silver platter would not be added as part of GDP because it wasn't produced in 2020 and only goods produced in 2020 would be added to 2020 GDP.

The corn syrup is an intermediate good and it would not be added in the calculation of GDP. only final goods are added in the calculation of GDP.

The automobile would be added to GDP as part of investment spending by businesses.

the import of cars would be added as part of net export in 2020 GDP

The cost structure of two firms competing in the same industry is represented by the following cost formulas: Company X = $2,276,000 + $50/ unit; Company Z = $1,052,000 + $98/unit. The selling price is $145 per unit for both companies. Required: 1. Calculate the indifference point between the two cost structures, that is, the amount of unit sales that produce exactly the same operating income for Company X and Company Z.

Answers

Answer:

Indifference point= 25,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Company X = $2,276,000 + $50/ unit

Company Z = $1,052,000 + $98/unit

We need to find the indifference point where the two companies provide the same total cost.

We need to equal both cost equations:

2,276,000 + 50x = 1,052,000 + 98x

1,224,000 = 48x

25,500= x

x= number of units

To prove:

Company X = $2,276,000 + $50*25,500= $3,551,000

Company Z = $1,052,000 + $98*25,500= $3,551,000

Many companies secure financing from various sources with various payback periods. Not all funding sources are the same, and in fact, some can come with a pretty high cost to the firm. These costs could include high interest rates, long payback periods, and increased ownership in the firm which could result in lost control.

Please analyze the funding options listed, and determine if the option is usually a short-term or long-term strategy.

a. Line of credit
b. Commercial paper
c. Trade credit Bank loan of 10 months
d. Bond
e. Stock
f. Bank loan of 20 months

Answers

Answer:

a. Line of credit - Long-term strategy

A line of credit is a long-term strategy because businesses obtain lines of credit for their use over long periods of time. The particular characteristic is that a line of credit is only used when the business decides to do so, so it works almost like a credit card.

b. Commercial paper - Short-term strategy

Commercial paper is a short-term debt that is issued by firms when they have problems to pay operating expenses. They are unsecured, and pay a specific amount of interest.

c. Trade credit Bank loan of 10 months - Short-term strategy

In financial accounting, loans that last for less than a year are categorized as short-term liabilities, therefore, a trade credit bank loan of 10 months is a short-term strategy.

d. Bond - Long-term strategy

While some bonds are issued for the short-term, the majority of them are issued for the long-term, with some of them lasting 10 years or more.

e. Stock - Long-term strategy

Buying or issuing stock is also a long-term strategy, specially because the dividend of the stock is only paid out once every year, unlike other debt instruments that pay interest immediately.

f. Bank loan of 20 months - Long-term strategy

A bank loan of more than 1 years is considered a long-term liability in financial accounting, therefore, a bank loan of 20 months is part of a long-term strategy.

Analyzing the given funding options and placing them in their right categories would be:

A. Line of credit - Long-term strategy B. Commercial paper - Short-term strategy C. Trade credit Bank loan of 10 months - Short-term strategy D. Bond - Long-term strategy E. Stock - Long-term strategy F. Bank loan of 20 months - Long-term strategy

A long term strategy is one which financial institutions use to secure their assets for the foreseeable future while a short term strategy is used for short term gains on stocks and finances.

With this in mind, we can see that there are different funding options which are short or long term as the case may be, which depends on the amount of profit which the business wants to accrue.

Explanation:

In this scenario, an investment adviser is opening that day's mail and receives a check from a customer made out to the "Jones Cleaning Service" - the check was mailed in error to the adviser. The same day, the investment adviser mails the check back to Jones Cleaning Service. Under North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) rules, the investment adviser has not taken custody of the customer's funds and must keep a record of the check received.

According to NASAA rules, if an investment adviser inadvertently receives a check made out to a third party like it was made out to the "Jones Cleaning Service" in error, provided that the investment adviser mails the check to the third party (customer) within 3 business-working days, then the adviser has not taken custody of the customer's funds.
