Answer:
a.
i. 4.7 times
ii. 77.1 days
b
i. 7 times
ii. 52.1 days
Explanation:
Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory
average inventory for 2016 = ( 87,750 + 92,500 ) / 2 = $90,125
Inventory turnover $426,650 / $90,125 = 4.7 times
Days' sales in inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 77.1 days
for 2017
inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory
average inventory for 2017 = ( 97,400 + 87,750 ) / 2 = $92,575
Inventory turnover $643,825 / $92,575 = 7.0 times
Days' sales in inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 52.1 days
a) While excavating, the Contractor hits a rock layer. Since the plans and soil report did not mention such rock, the contractor files a claim under: i. Force majeure. ii. Differing site conditions. iii. Design errors/omissions. iv. Unusual weather conditions. v. Changes in owner’s requirements.
Answer:
Differing site conditions
Explanation:
A differing site condition is a condition that has been changed. Since the plan did not mention this rock, the contractor can file a claim under this.
It is a hidden physical condition that is discovered at a site which is actually different from what was expected. It can also be regarded as unforeseen site condition.
A new operating system for an existing maching is expected to cost $786000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $230000 each year after deducting its straight line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $90000. Assume the company requires a 10% rate of return on its investments. Compute the net present value of each potential investment.
Answer:
NPV is $771,739
Explanation:
As we know that:
Net Present Value = Present Value of Cash inflow (STEP 1) - Present Value of Cash outflow
STEP 1. Present Value of Cash Inflow
Here
Present Value of Cash Inflow = Annuity of Annual Cash flow - PV of Scrap Value
Annual Cash flow is $346,000 ($230,000 + ($786,000 - $90,000)/6)
So
Annuity of annual cash inflow = $346,000 * Annuity Factor
Here
Annuity Factor for 6 years is 4.3553
Now this means that:
Annuity of annual cash Inflow = $346,000 * 4.3553 = $1,506,934
Present Value of Residual Value ($90,000 * 0.5645) = $50,805
Present Value of cash inflows $1,557,739
Now putting values in the above equation, we have:
Net Present Value = $1,557,739 - $786,000
Net Present Value = $771,739

Answer:
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000
Explanation:
In the consolidated balance sheet, we record the sum of both parent and subsidiary assets. Here pumpkin and spice both have an inventory of $30,000.
Total inventory in consolidated balance = Pimpkin's Inventory + fair value of Spice's inventory
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $30,000 + $30,000
Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000
Bagwell's net income for the year ended December 31, Year 2 was $175,000. Information from Bagwell's comparative balance sheets is given below. Compute the cash paid for dividends during Year 2. At December 31 Year 2 Year 1 Common Stock, $5 par value $500,000 $450,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par 948,000 853,000 Retained earnings 688,000 582,000 A. $95,000. B. $201,000. C. $69,000. D. $79,000. E. $50,000.
Answer:
C. $69,000
Explanation:
Computation of the cash paid for dividends during Year 2
First step is to calculate the difference in Retained earnings for Year 2 and Year 1
Retained earnings =$688,000-$582,000
Difference in retained earnings =$106,000
Second step is to calculate for the cash paid for dividends during Year 2
Using this formula
Cash paid dividend = Year 2 Net income- Retained earnings difference
Let plug in the formula
Cash paid dividend=$175,000-$106,000
Cash paid dividend =$69,000
Therefore the cash paid for dividends during Year 2 will be $69,000
A stock has a beta of 1.28, the expected return on the market is 12%, and the risk-free rate is 4.5%. Using the CAPM, what is the expected return on this stock
Answer:
14.10%
Explanation:
The calculation of expected return on this stock is shown below:-
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 4.5% + 1.28 × (12% - 4.5%)
= 4.5% + 1.28 × 7.5%
= 4.5% + 9.6%
= 14.10%
The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called as the market risk premium
hence, the expected rate of return is 14.10%
Flapjack Corporation had 7,600 actual direct labor hours at an actual rate of $12.41 per hour. Original production had been budgeted for 1,100 units, but only 950 units were actually produced. Labor standards were 7.0 hours per completed unit at a standard rate of $13.00 per hour. The direct labor time variance is
Answer:
-$12,350 Unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of direct labor variance is shown below:
Labor time variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) × standard rate
= (950 × 7.0 - 7,600) × $13
= (6,650 - 7,600) × $13
= -950 × $13
= -$12,350 Unfavorable
Therefore for computing the direct labor variance we simply applied the above formula by considering the given information
LSM subcontracted with Henry Isaacs Home Remodeling and Repair (Isaacs) to perform the roofing work on the project. Isaacs in turn subcontracted with Hal Brewster Home Improvements (Brewster), to conduct the roofing work on Isaacs' behalf. When Brewster performed work on the roof, he "botched the job" and caused extensive leaking inside the house. LSM and Issacs attempted to correct the problems, but eventually abandoned the project, leaving Logan-Baldwin to hire others to complete the renovations. Logan-Baldwin sued LSM, Isaacs, and Baldwin for breach of contract. Isaacs sought to dismiss Logan-Baldwin's claim against it, arguing no privity of contract existed between themselves and Logan-Baldwin, and therefore Isaacs should not be liable for any damages.

Kenneth Washington's weekly gross earnings for the week ending December 18 were $3,460, and his federal income tax withholding was $726.6. Assuming the social security rate is 6% and Medicare is 1.5% of all earnings, what is Washington's net pay? If required, round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
$2,473.9
Explanation:
The computation of net pay is shown below:-
Net pay = Gross pay - Federal income tax withholding - Social security tax - Medicare tax
= $3,460 - $726.6 - ($3,460 × 6%) - ($3,460 - 1.5%)
= $3,460 - $726.6 - $207.6 - $51.9
= $2,473.9
Therefore for computing the net pay we simply applied the above formula i.e the three above taxes are subtracted from the gross pay to arrive net pay
A fund earned a net investment income (i.e. Ending Balance Starting Balance + Deposits/Withdrawals)) of 9200 during 1999. The beginning and ending balances of the fund were 100000 and 129200, respectively. A deposit was made at time K during the year. No other deposits or withdraws were made. The fund earned 8% in 1999 using the dollar-weighted method. Determine then date corresponding to time K
(a) April 1 (b) May 1 (c) July 1 (d) Sept. 1 (e) Oct. 1
Answer:________
Answer:
k = April 1 ( A )
Explanation:
Given data :
net investment income : $9200
Beginning balance = $100000
ending balance = $129200
deposit made
no withdrawals
interest earned = 8%
net investment ( $9200) = [ending balance - (starting balance + deposits/withdrawals )]
9200 = 129200 - 100000 - deposits
deposit = 129200 -100000 - 9200 = 20000
8% interest was earned on starting balance
= 8% of $100000 = $8000
interest earned on the deposit made = net income - interest earned on beginning balance = 9200 - 8000 = $1200
using the dollar-weighted method
assuming the deposit was made for Y months
interest earned on deposit = deposit * interest rate * (y/12)
1200 = 20000 * 8% * ( y /12 )
hence ( y/12) = 0.75 hence y = 9 months from December 31
which makes K = April 1
Inflation is a general rise in the level of prices experienced by people in a nation.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Inflation is an economic term that can be defined as the increase in the prices of a product on the market in a given period.
It can occur due to several factors, when there is an imbalance between supply and demand, then it is correct to say that when the demand for a product is greater than the supply, there will be an increase in prices and, consequently, inflation.
It can also occur when there are situations of monopoly, which is the pricing of a product controlled by a company.
Another factor that causes inflation is the increase in a company's production costs, which can be caused by factors such as scarcity, or economic crisis.
Uncontrolled inflation has a negative impact on the consumer's life, which starts to lose its purchasing capacity and has its quality of life reduced.
When the price of erasers increases from $1.50 to $2.50, the quantity demanded of pencils is unchanged. The cross-price elasticity of demand between erasers and pencils is
Answer:
The cross elasticity of demand is zero
Explanation:
Cross elasticity of demand measures the percentage change in the quantity demand of a product occasioned by a change in the price of another but related commodity.
If the the commodities are complements, the cross of elasticity of demand between them would be negative. his implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a decrease(increase) in the demand of the other.
If the the commodities are substitutes, the cross elasticity of demand between them would be positive. This implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a increase (decrease) in the quantity demand of the other.
Where the cross elasticity of demand is zero, this implies that the goods are not in any way related. This implies that a change in the price of one would produce no change in the quantity demand of the other.

Assume that your roommate is very messy. According to campus policy, you have a right to live in an uncluttered apartment. Suppose she gets a $200 benefit from being messy but imposes a $100 cost on you. The Coase theorem would suggest that an efficient solution would be for your roommate to
Answer: b. pay you at least $100 but less than $200 to live with the clutter.
Explanation:
The options are:
a. stop her messy habits or else move out.
b. pay you at least $100 but less than $200 to live with the clutter.
c. continue to be messy and force you to move out.
d. demand payment of at least $100 but no more than $200 to clean up after herself.
According to the Coase theorem, if a party has the rights to a property, then an efficient output level will be achieved when there is some sort of bargaining between the parties that are involved.
Since the roommate gets a $200 benefit from being messy but imposes a $100 cost on me, an efficient solution would be for my roommate to pay me at least $100 but less than $200 to live with the clutter.
Assume the MPC is 0.8. Assuming only the multiplier effect matters, a decrease in government purchases of $100 billion will shift the aggregate demand curve to the:__________
a. left by $180 billion.
b. left by $500 billion.
c. right by $180 billion.
d. right by $400 billion.
Answer:
b. left by $500 billion.
Explanation:
Given marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 0.8
Marginal propensity to consume + Marginal propensity to save = 1
MPC + MPS = 1
0.8 + MPS = 1
MPS = 1-0.8
MPS = 0.2
Now, the government multiplier = 1/MPS
The government multiplier = 1 / 0.2 = 5
Total fall in aggregate demand = Government multiplier × Government purchases
= 5 ×100
= $500
Since there is a fall in spending so the aggregate demand curve will shift leftwards.
Therefore, the correct option is b. left by $500 billion.
Rediger Inc., a manufacturing Corporation, has provided the following data for the month of June. The balance in the Work in Process inventory account was $40,000 at the beginning of the month and $26,000 at the end of the month. During the month, the Corporation incurred direct materials cost of $58,600 and direct labor cost of $33,400. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $54,800. The manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $54,600. The cost of goods manufactured for June was:
Answer:
$160,600
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods manufactured is shown below:
= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing cost applied + beginning work in process - ending work in process
= $58,600 + $33,400 + $54,600 + $40,000 - $26,000
= $160,600
Hence, the cost of goods manufactured for June is $160,600
The Walthers Company has a semi-annual coupon bond outstanding. An increase in the market rate of interest will have which one of the following effects on this bond?
a. increase the coupon rate.
b. decrease the coupon rate.
c. increase the market price.
d. decrease the market price.
e. increase the time period.
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
An increase in the market rate of interest of a bond will decrease the market price of the bond. Market rate of interest of a bond is inversely related to the market price of the bond.
For example, A bonds is issued with a higher interest rate, the price of existing bonds will fall because the demand for this bond falls.

Answer:
Debit Insurance expenses for $57
Credit Prepaid insurance for $57
Explanation:
From the Trial Balance, Prepaid Insurance is $75. Since on December 31, 2022, the insurance still unexpired amounted to $18, the insurance expenses for the year can therefore be calculated as follows:
Insurance expenses = $75 - $18 = $57
The adjusting entries will therefore be as follows:
Particulars Dr ($) Cr ($)
Insurance expenses 57
Prepaid insurance 57
(To record insurance expenses for the year.)
Note that the amount of $18 unexpired insurance will now be the Prepaid insurance that will appear as an asset under the Current Asset in the balance sheet, while the $57 insurance expenses will be charged as an expense in the income statement.
A researcher who has no concern for issues of control or ability to generalize, instead choosing focus on providing rich descriptions would be following the _________ approach.
A. positivistic/empirical
B. interpretive
C. critical
D. scientific
Answer:
B. interpretive
Explanation:
A researcher who has no concern for issues of control or ability to generalize, instead choosing focus on providing rich descriptions would be following the interpretive approach.
In an interpretive approach to research, researchers are mainly focused on deciphering detailed meaning or rich descriptions so they can have a better understanding of the subject matter.
Under interpretive study, it is assumed that the meaning associated with matters are subjective and inter-subjective depending on their perception, thus researchers attempt to understand matters through the meanings attached by individuals in the sampling population.
Hence, interpretive researchers assume that issues are not singular or objective but depends on various human experiences.
Stellar Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 600 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory280$31$ 8,680 April 15 purchase4503716,650 April 23 purchase 270 40 10,800 1,000 $36,130 Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the LIFO method.
Answer:
inventory - $13,120
cost of goods sold - $23,010
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
the cost of goods sold would be taken from the cost of the newest purchases.
April 23 purchase 270 x 40 = $ 10,800
600 - 270 = 330
April 15 purchase ; 330 x $37 = $12,210
cost of goods sold = $12,210 + $ 10,800 = $23,010
Inventory = the remaining part of the April 15 purchase and beginning inventory
450 - 330 = 120 x $37 = $4440
$4440 + 8,680 = $13,120
An electric power plant uses solid waste for fuel in the production of electricity. the cost Y in dollars per hour to produce electricity is Y=11+0.4X+0.29X2, where X is in megawatts. Revenue in dollars per hour from the sale of electricity is 16X−0.2X2. Find the value of X that gives maximum profit. (Round to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.
Explanation:
Before answering the question, Y and Revenue (R) given in the question are first correctly restated as follows:
Cost = Y = 11 + 0.4X + 0.29X^2 .......................................... (1)
Revenue = R = 16X − 0.2X^2 .............................................. (2)
Differentiating each of equations (1) and (2) with respect to X to obtain marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR), we have:
dY/dX = MC = 0.4 + 0.58X .................................................. (4)
dR/dX = MR = 16 - 0.4X ....................................................... (5)
In production theory, profit is maximized when MR = MC. Therefore, we equate equations (4) and (5) and solve for X as follows:
0.4 + 0.58X = 16 - 0.4X
0.58X + 0.4X = 16 - 0.4
0.98X = 15.6
X = 15.6 / 0.98
X = 15.92
Therefore, the value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.
Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $7 per unit, and at this price the upward-sloping portion of the firm's marginal cost curve crosses its marginal revenue curve at an output level of 1 comma 400 units. If the firm produces 1 comma 400 units, its average variable costs equal $6.50 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $0.80 per unit.
Required:
a. What is the firm's maximizing (or loss-minimizing output level?
b. What is the amount of it's economic profits (or losses) at this output level?
Answer:
1. This firm have the profit maximizing output level of 1400 units because a firm in any industry will maximize profit where MR=MC. Here MR is equal to MC at the output level of 1400. So profit maximizing level of output is 1400 units.
2. Economic profit = Total revenue - total cost.
Where, Total revenue = Quantity * price
= 1400 * 7
= $9,800
Total variable cost = AVC * quantity
= 6.50 *1400
= $9,100
Total fixed cost = AFC * quantity
= 0.80 * 1400
= $1,120
Economic profit = Total revenue - Total variable cost - Total fixed cost
Economic profit = $9,800 - $9,100 - $1,120
Economic profit = -$420
. The firm is having economic loss equal to 420.
Conclusion: This firm is facing economic loss in its output.
The following data were reported by a corporation: Authorized shares 20,000 Issued shares 15,000 Treasury shares 3,000 The number of outstanding shares is:
Answer:
12,000
Explanation:
The following data was reported for an organisation
Authorized shares is 20,000
Issued shares is 15,000
Treasury shares is 3,000
Therefore, the number of outstanding shares can be calculated as follows
Number of outstanding shares= Issued stock-Treasury stock
= 15,000-3,000
= 12,000
Hence the number of outstanding shares is 12,000
"A market maker enters a quote of $20.50 Bid; $21.00 Ask; with a size of "5 x 5" into the NASDAQ System. If a market order to buy is entered into the system for 1,500 shares, and this dealer's quote is matched, the market maker will be obligated to sell:"
Answer: 500 shares at $21.00
Explanation:
A market maker is one who buys and then sells security from which the stated market is made into, and using the account of the the firm. It should be noted that a market order to buy will have to be matched in sequence.
Therefore, if a market order to buy is entered into the system for 1,500 shares, and this dealer's quote is matched, the market maker will be obligated to sell 500 shares at $21.00.
Following is a partial process cost summary for Mitchell Manufacturing's Canning Department. Equivalent Units of Production Direct Materials Conversion Units Completed and transferred out 52,000 52,000 Units in Ending Work in Process: Direct Materials (18,000 * 100%) 18,000 Conversion (18,000 * 80%) 14,400 Equivalent Units of Production 70,000 66,400 Cost per Equivalent Unit Costs of beginning work in process $ 43,600 $ 63,900 Costs incurred this period 145,500 195,700 Total costs $ 189,100 $ 259,600 Cost per equivalent unit $ 2.70 per EUP $ 3.91 per EUP If the units completed were transferred to the Labeling Department, what is the appropriate journal entry to transfer the conversion costs
Answer:
DR Work in Process—Labeling................ $203,320
CR Work in Process—Canning......................................... $203,320
(To record transfer of conversion costs to Labelling Department.)
Units completed in the Canning department are 52,000 and costs per equivalent units of production for conversion is $3.91.
Total costs of conversion is therefore;
= 52,000 * 3.91
= $203,320

c. Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
This change in spending causes the government to run a budget __________ which ________ national saving. This causes the interest rate to ________ and the level of investment spending to _______
Answer:
a. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $8,000 per year.
This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to _decrease and the level of investment spending to increase_.
b. An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.
The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to ___increase____ and the level of investment to ___decrease_____.
c. Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
This change in spending causes the government to run a budget ___surplus_______ which ___increases_____ national saving. This causes the interest rate to ___decrease_____ and the level of investment spending to __increase_____
Explanation:
Interest rate decreases with increased savings and this results to increased investment as funds are available at affordable costs. The situation is reversed when the savings are decreased, since the interest rate will increase as there are less savings for investment purposes.
There is a continuous interaction between taxation, savings, government spending, inflation, and investment versus interest rates. This means that interest rates also reflect these factors put together. This why in both fiscal and monetary policies, governments try to strike some balance in order to direct the economy towards desired targets. For example, when the government wants to stimulate the economy, it works to reduce interest rates in order to encourage investments, but this also lowers the propensity to save and encourages the propensity to spend, which trigger inflation and increases interest rate as an aftermath. And this seems to be an endless vicious or virtuous circle, depending on what is achieved by the monetary and fiscal measures in operation.

Carly Corporation issued $200,000 of 30-year, 8% bonds at 106 on January 1, 2016. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30th and December 31st. The straight-line method of amortization is to be used. After 11 years, what is the carrying value of the bonds?
Answer:
$207,600
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds:
January 1, 2016
Dr Cash 212,000
Cr Bonds payable 200,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 12,000
Premium on bonds payable $12,000 / 60 semiannual coupons = $200 amortization per coupon payment
after 11 years, 22 coupons were paid 22 x $200 = $4,400
bonds carrying value after 11 years = $200,000 + $12,000 - $4,400 = $207,600
