Answers
Answer:
Since the question is missing most of its numbers, I looked for similar question.
variable cost per unit = $1,015,000 / 73,000 = $13.9041
total fixed costs = $490,000
since fixed costs are not avoidable, but can be used to generate $220,000 in revenues, the differential analysis is the following:
Make Buy Net income increase
(decrease)
variable costs $1,140,136.20 $0 $1,140,136.20
fixed overhead $490,000 $270,000 $220,000
purchase price $0 $1,066,000 ($1,066,000)
total $1,630,136.20 $1,336,000 $294,136.20
TechSystems should outsource the production since it will be able to increase its operating profits by $294,136.20.

Between January 2010 and January 2016, U.S. employment increased by 12.1 million workers, but the number of unemployed workers declined by only 7.3 million. True or False: The labor force has remained unchanged.
Answers
Answer:
False, the labor forced increased
Explanation:
labor force = total number of people actively working (employed) or searching for jobs (unemployed)
lets say L = the total labor force in 2010
by 2016, L had increased by 12.1 million and decreased by 7.3 million
net change of L = 12.1 - 7.3 = 4.8 more million people were part of the labor force in 2016 than in 2010.

Answers
Answer:
$61.60
Explanation:
Equity funding need = Projected assets - Projected liabilities - Current equity - Projected increase in retained earnings
Equity funding need = $2,739 - $561 - $1,980 - $136.40
Equity funding need = $61.60
Workings
Projected assets = (Current assets + Fixed assets) * 1.10 = 820+1,670 * 1.10 = $2,739
Projected liabilities = Current liabilities * 1.10 = 510 * 1.10 = $561
Current equity = Current assets + Fixed assets - Current liabilities = 820 + 1,670 - 510 = $1,980
Projected increase in retained earnings = Sales*5% * 1.10 = $2,480*5% * 1.10 = 124*1.10 = $136.40

Answers
Answer:
It will take 182.44 quarters to reach $18,630,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future Value= $18,630,000
Initial Investment= $1,100,000
Interest rate= 0.0625/4= 0.01563
To calculate the time required to reach the objective, we need to use the following formula:
n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)
n= ln(18,630,000 / 1,100,000) / ln (1.01563)
n= 182,44
It will take 182.44 quarters to reach $18,630,000.

Answers
Answer:
The adjusted trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances after adjusting entries have been posted.The adjusted trial balance is used to prepare financial statements. The adjusted trial balance generally has more accounts listed than the unadjusted trial balance.Explanation:
The Adjusted Trial balance lists the accounts that the company has at their ending balances which means that adjusting entries have been posted.
As a result of the Adjusted Trial Balance having final account balances, it is used to prepare the financial statements for the company as only final balances should be used in such.
More often than not, the Adjusted trial balance will have more accounts than the unadjusted balance because in process of adjustment, more accounts may be created for transactions that were not posted properly. For instance, there might be liability accounts for expenses if the expenses were not paid in the current period.
Bond Ratings. Companies pay rating agencies such as Moody’s and S&P to rate their bonds, and the costs can be substantial. However, companies are not required to have their bonds rated in the first place; doing so is strictly voluntary. Why so you think they do so?
Answers
Answer:
Bond Ratings
Companies employ rating agencies such as Moody's and S&P to rate their bonds despite the substantial costs and their voluntariness because ratings by these agencies add a badge of honor to the bonds. It gives investors some level of assurance that the bonds will be honored at maturity and that the pricing is right, given the company's credit risk.
Explanation:
Credit risk rating agencies assess the credit risk of a company or financial product as formal and credit-worthy benchmarks for investment decisions. While companies pay huge costs to have these ratings conducted by the big three, including Moody's, S&P, and Fitch, the main value goes to the potential investors who require the information to decide whether to invest in the rated companies.
What would be most likely to happen if the discount rate were raised?
A. Depositors would make a run on a bank.
thing
B. Banks would make fewer loans.
C. Creditors would refuse to pay back loans.
D. Banks would stop opening savings accounts.
Answers
Answer:
B. Banks would make fewer loans
Explanation:
The discount rate is the interest rate that commercial banks pay to the Federal Reserve for loans received. Banks usually borrow to cater to their short-term cash-flow requirements. The discount rate is higher than the inter bank rate or the fed funds rate(the rate that banks charge each other for loans).
An increase in the discount rate causes the inter bank rate to rise (the Fed controls both rates). It means commercial banks are borrowing money from the Fed and each other at a higher interest rate. Consequently, commercial banks charge a higher interest rate for loans advanced to customers. An increase in interest rates at the banks discourages customers from borrowing.

Answers
Answer:
$12
Explanation:
Moore Company purchased an item for inventory that cost $20 per unit and was priced to sell at $34. It was determined that the cost to sell is $22 per unit. Using the lower of cost or net realizable value rule, what amount should be?
Cost per Unit = $20
Sale per unit = $34
Disposal cost = $22
Net realizable value per unit = Sale per unit - Disposal cost
Net realizable value per unit = $34 - $22
Net realizable value per unit = $12
Using the LCM method, $12 should be reported on the balance sheet for inventory.

in creating the master budget, the second budget a company prepares is the production budget. a. True b. False
Answers
Answer:
In creating the master budget, the second budget a company prepares is the production budget.
a. True
Explanation:
When a company prepares the master budget, it first prepares the sales budget, followed by the production budget. The production budget calculates the costs of materials, labor, and overhead based on the number of units to be manufactured within the budget period. The units of products are derived from the sales forecast and the planned amount of ending finished goods inventory.
All against Common Sense. Back in mid 80s, the US economy was very bad. It was much worse than it is now. At that time, to the surprise of many people, US automakers raised the prices of their cars. The common sense says that when the sales are slow, we lower prices and offer better deals to customers. Why do you think that the US car manufacturers increase the prices?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
This most likely happened because in the 80's the economy was so bad that even by lowering their prices the middle-class families would still not be able to afford to buy a car. The only individuals able to afford a car would be those who are wealthy. Therefore, by increasing prices and targetting wealthy individuals, the US car manufacturers could become profitable with much fewer sales and prevent the manufacturing plant from going under. Since wealthy individuals would not mind much the increased prices because they can still afford it without making much of a dent in their wealth.
A college student borrows $10,000 today at 10% interest compounded annually. Four years later, the student makes the first payment of $3000. Approximately how much money will the student still owe on the loan after the first payment
Answers
Answer:
$11,700
Explanation:
Calculation for how much money will the student still owe on the loan after the first payment
Using this formula
A=P(1+r/n)^nt
Where,
P =represent the principal amount $10,000
r =represent annual nominal interest rate 10/100= 0.1
n =represent the number of times the interest is compounded per year 1
t= represent number of years 4
Let plug in the formula
A=$10,000(1+0.1/1)^(1)(4)
A=$10,000(1.1)^4
A=$14,641
Since the student makes the first payment of the amount of $3,000 the amount of money that the student still owe on the loan after the first payment will be :
Loan Amount =$14,641-$3,000
Loan Amount =$11,641
Approximately $11,700
Therefore how much money will the student still owe on the loan after the first payment will be $11,700
The student still owes is $11,641.
The first step is to determine the future value of the loan:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value P = Present value R = interest rate N = number of years$10,000(1.1)^4 = $14,641
The amount the student still owes = future value of the loan - amount paid
$14,641 - $3000 = $11,641.

Answers
Answer:
$803,010
Explanation:
Calculation for the value of long term debt
First step is to find the Stockholders' equity
Stockholders' equity = $1,500,000 + $1,468,347 Stockholders' equity= $2,968,347
Last step is to find the Long-term debt
Using this formula
Value of Long-term debt= Total assets – Current liabilities – Stockholders' equity
Let plug in the formula.
Value of Long-term debt= $4,812,369 – $1,041,012 – $2,968,347
Value of Long-term debt = $803,010
Therefore the Value of Long-term debt
will be $803,010
Your classmates from the University of Chicago are planning to go to Miami for spring break, and you are undecided about whether you should go with them. The round-trip airfare is $600, but you have a frequent-flyer coupon worth $500 that you could use to pay part of the airfare. All other costs for the vacation are exactly $900. The most you would be willing to pay for the trip is $1,400. Your only alternative use for your frequent-flyer coupon is for your trip to Atlanta two weeks after the break to attend your sister's graduation, which your parents are forcing you to attend. The Chicago-Atlanta round-trip airfare is $450. If the Chicago-Atlanta round-trip air fare were $350, should you use the coupon to go to Miami?
Answers
Answer:
You should use the discount coupon to pay for the Chicago-Miami trip. Not considering the personal motivations for the trip, the coupon is worth $500. The cost of flying is $600, so you will only pay $100 yourself. You will be spending $900 + $1000 = $1,000 in total.
The opportunity cost of using the coupon is $350 (the cost of the round trip to Atlanta). Even if you add the $350 to the $1,000 expense, the total is $1,350, less than your $1,400 maximum budget.
