Answer:
c.We had to establish guidelines for the acceptance of used computing equipment because only new computers provide warranties, compatible software, and come with matching peripherals.
Explanation:
An indirect message aims to soften bad news, to achieve this goal the message is transmitted through a soothing speech, where there is an explanation of the reasons for the bad news before reaching the fact, in order to cushion the impact that the message may cause. Indirect discourse is more accepted in the case of the transmission of bad news, as individuals generally tend to better understand the facts when they are explained through evidence.
Therefore, the letter c corresponds more adequately to an indirect speech.
Roberta transfers property with a tax basis of $495 and a fair market value of $546 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $356 in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $190 on the property transferred. What is the amount realized by Roberta in the exchange
Answer: $546
Explanation:
The amount realized by Roberta in the exchange will be gotten through the addition of the fair value of the stock that was acquired to the liability that's assumed by the corporation. This will be:
Fair value of stock acquired = $356
Add: Liability assumed by corporation = $190
Amount realised = $356 + $190 = $546
Assume the following for the town of Boone: The town has a total population of 60,000 people, of which 2,000 are under 16 years of age or are institutionalized; 4,000 are full-time students who are not employed and are not seeking work; and 50,000 are employed. The rest of the people are out of work but have been actively seeking work within the past four weeks. What is Boone's unemployment rate?
Answer:
Unemployment rate= 7.4%
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the labor force. The labor force is the sum of employed people and unemployed people over 16 actively looking for work.
Labor force= 60,000 - 2,000 - 4,000= 54,000
Now, we can calculate the unemployment rate, using the following formula:
unemployment rate= (unemployed people / labor force)*100
unemployment rate= (4,000/54,000)*100
unemployment rate= 7.4%

If you will become a manager or part of the management how will you implement the effective organizing strategies?
Answer:
A well-developed strategy is easier to implement than one that has not received sufficient thought. Create strategies that can be effectively implemented by specifying clear objectives and projecting measurable milestones. Align these strategic steps with your company's overall mission.
Explanation:
Below are amounts found in the income statements of three companies. Company Sales Revenue Cost of Goods Sold Operating Expenses Non-operating Expenses Income Tax Expense Henry $38,000 $ 13,300 $ 5,300 $2,300 $2,300 Grace 41,000 27,880 13,400 7,300 0 James 46,000 27,600 3,300 0 3,300 2-a. For each company, calculate the gross profit ratio.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the gross profit ratio for each company is shown below:
As we know that
Gross profit ratio is
= Gross profit ÷ sales revenue
= (Sales revenue - cost of goods sold) ÷ sales revenue
For henry
= ($38,000 - $13,000) ÷ ($38,000)
= 66%
For grace
= ($41,000 - $27,880) ÷ ($41,000)
= 32%
For James
= ($46,000 - $27,600) ÷ ($46,000)
= 40%

A company uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's unadjusted trial balance reported the following selected amounts: Accounts receivable $ 378,000 debit Allowance for uncollectible accounts 530 credit Net Sales 830,000 credit All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates that 0.6% of net credit sales are uncollectible. What amount should be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared
Answer:
$1,738
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What amount should be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared
Using this formula
Bad Debts Expense=[(Accounts receivable*Estimated uncollectible net credit sales)-Allowance for uncollectible accounts]
Let plug in the formula
Bad Debts Expense=[($378,000*0.6%)-$530]
Bad Debts Expense=$2,268-$530
Bad Debts Expense=$1,738
Therefore the amount that should be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared is $1,738

On January 1, 2019, Metco Inc. reported 268,000 shares of $5 par value common stock as being issued and outstanding. On March 24, 2019, Metco Inc. purchased for its treasury 3,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $38.00 per share. On August 19, 2019, 610 of these treasury shares were sold for $46.50 per share. Metco's directors declared cash dividends of $0.40 per share during the second quarter and again during the fourth quarter, payable on June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2019, respectively. A 2% stock dividend was issued at the end of the year. There were no other transactions affecting common stock during the year. Calculate the number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend.
Answer:
The number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend is 5,312.20 shares.
Explanation:
This can be determined as follows:
Number of shares before stock dividend = Number of shares reported on January 1, 2019 - Number of shares purchased for its treasury on March 24, 2019 + Number of treasury shares were sold on August 19, 2019 = 268,000 - 3,000 + 610 = 265,610
Number of dividend shares = Number of shares before stock dividend * Rate of stock dividend issued = 265,610 * 2% = 5,312.20
Therefore, the number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend is 5,312.20 shares.
Indicate the correct statement about the effect of the Reynolds number on the character of the flow over an object. If the Reynolds number is low enough, then the effect of viscosity is so:___.
a. high that there is a region near the plate where the fluid is stationary.
b. increases, then the size of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity increases.
c. is high enough, then the effect of viscosity is negligible and the fluid flows over the plate without sticking to the surface.
d. increases, then the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.
Answer: d. increases, then the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.
Explanation:
Viscosity simply refers to the measure of the resistance of a fluid to a flow. The Reynolds number helps in the prediction of flow patterns.
If the Reynolds number increases, then the extent of the region around the object that is affected by viscosity decreases.
AP* Price discrimination occurs when differences in a product's price reflect differences in marginal costs differences in a product's price reflect differences in marginal costs a products's average cost is greater than its average revenue a products's average cost is greater than its average revenue differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production a product's average cost is less than its average revenue a product's average cost is less than its average revenue the supply of the product is elastic
Answer:
differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production.
Explanation:
Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services.
In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.
One of the importance associated with the pricing of products is that, it improves the image of a business firm.
Price discrimination refers to the situation in which a business firm sells an identical product to different consumers at different selling price based on reasons that are not in any way associated or related with its manufacturing cost.
This ultimately implies that, price discrimination occurs when differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production.
Dream, Inc., has debt outstanding with a face value of $6 million. The value of the firm if it were entirely financed by equity would be $18.25 million. The company also has 440,000 shares of stock outstanding that sell at a price of $32 per share. The corporate tax rate is 35 percent. What is the decrease in the value of the company due to expected bankruptcy costs? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer:
$955,000
Explanation:
According to the Modigliani and Miller theory, we can calculate the value of the levered firm which is denoted by;
VI = Vu + tB
VI = 18.25million + 0.35(6million)
VI = 20.35 million
We can also calculate the total market value of the firm Vt by adding the debt (B) with the total equity (SV)
Vt = B + SV
Vt = 5 million + 440,000(32)
Vt = 5 million + 14.80 million
Vt = 19.80 million
Then the decrease in the value of the company due to bankruptcy is
Vb = VI - Vt
Vb = 20.35 million - 19.80 million
VB = $955,000

Bramble, Inc. has 11200 shares of 3%, $100 par value, noncumulative preferred stock and 224000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020. There were no dividends declared in 2019. The board of directors declares and pays a $65700 dividend in 2020. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2020?
Answer:
See
Explanation:
Total dividends = 65,700
Common stock outstanding = 224,000 shares
Preferred dividend
= Number of shares × Par value 3%
= 11,200 × 100 × 3%
= $33,600
Dividends received by common stockholders
= (65,700 × 2) - (33,600 × 3)
= 131,400 - 100,800
= 30,600
Setrakian Industries needs to raise $48.5 million to fund a new project. The company will sell bonds that have a coupon rate of 5.56 percent paid semiannually and that mature in 10 years. The bonds will be sold at an initial YTM of 6.13 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How many bonds must be sold to raise the necessary funds
Answer:
25,317 unit
Explanation:
Current price of bond = PV(Rate, Nper, Pmt, Fv)
Current price of bond = PV(6.13%/2, 10*2 ,5.56%/2*2000, 2000)
Current price of bond = $1,915.71
Number of bonds to issue = $48,500,000 / $1,915.71
Number of bonds to issue = 25316.98430
Number of bonds to issue = 25,317 unit

c) Obtain the interquartile rage for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption
Answer:
A) attached below
B) mean value = 67.755, std = 26.871
C) IQR( interquartile range ) = 37
Explanation:
A) Construct a histogram for the data and use it to evaluate the validity of normality assumption
Using Minitab to construct the Histogram from the shape of the Histogram we can see that the Normality assumption is valid because the shape is fairly symmetric
screenshot of Histogram is attached below
B) Obtain the mean and standard deviation for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption.
still using Minitab to determine the std and mean values
mean value = 67.755, std = 26.871
Next : find the percentage of the observation that lie within 1,2 and 3 std from the mean
For one(1) std from the mean the interval = ( 40.884, 94.626 )
percentage of observation = 665 / 992 = 67.04
For two(2) std from the mean; The interval = ( 14.013 , 121.497 )
percentage of observation = 946 / 992 = 95.36%
For three(3) std from the mean ; The interval = ( -12.858, 148.368 )
percentage of observations = 991 / 992 = 99.90%
The percentages from the above calculations indicates the validity of the normality assumption
C) Obtain the interquartile rage for the data and use these statistics to evaluate the validity of the normality assumption
using MINITAB
since the data are assumed Normal; Ratio = [tex]\frac{IQR}{S} = 1.3[/tex]
std (s) = 26.871, IQR( interquartile range ) = 37
Next check if IQR / S will be = 1.3
= 37 / 26.871 = 1.377 ( This validates the normality assumption )
This morning, you purchased a seventeen-year, 6.45% annual coupon bond with face value of $1,000 at a price of $1,030.04. Just after purchasing the bond, the yield to maturity of the bond falls to 5.50 percent and stays at that level throughout your investment period. If you sell your bond after holding it for seven years, what will be your realized rate of return
Answer:
6.73%
Explanation:
the price of the bond in seven years is:
PV = $1,000 / (1 + 5.50%)¹⁰ = $585.43
PV of coupon payments = $64.50 x 7.538 (PVIFA, 5.5%, 10 years) = $486.20
market price = $1,071.63
using an excel spreadsheet of financial calculator, the annual rate of return:
year 0 = -1030.04
year 1 = 64.5
year 2 = 64.5
year 3 = 64.5
year 4 = 64.5
year 5 = 64.5
year 6 = 64.5
year 7 = 1136.13
IRR = 6.73%
During 2018, Raines Umbrella Corp. had sales of $763,000. Cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses, and depreciation expenses were $462,000, $103,000, and $148,500, respectively. In addition, the company had an interest expense of $73,800 and a tax rate of 22 percent. (Ignore any tax loss carryforward provisions and assume interest expense is fully tax deductible.)
a. What is the company’s net income/loss for 2018? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a positive value.)
b. What is the company's operating cash flow? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. The net income or loss for the year 2018 is
Sales $763,000
Less: COGS $462,000
Less: A&S expenses $103,000
Less: Depreciation $148,500
EBIT $49,500
Less: Interest $73,800
Taxable income -$24,300
Less: Taxes(22%) $0
Net income(loss) -$24,300
Net loss = $24,300
b. The operating cash flow is
OCF = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
= $49,500 + $148,500 - $0
= $198,000

Answer:
Dr Bonds payable 1,600,000
Dr Loss on redemption of bonds 36,800
Cr Cash 1,632,000
Cr Discount on bonds payable 4,800
Explanation:
Loss/gain on redemption of bonds = carrying value - cash paid = ($1,600,000 - $4,800) - $1,632,000 = $1,595,200 - $1,632,000 = -$36,800 loss
