Performance and compensation go hand in hand. To know design a compensation system that takes into account all the information about one's workers is to create suitable compensation for that company.
For instance, the manager should know whether it is non-financial rewards that its management want. Sometimes, staff don't care about official cars, and fantastic health insurances. They just want a great take-home package.
The manager must know this information at all costs. To ignore is to risk the loss of staff, valuable time and even position in the industry.

ABC Company has the following authorized stock: Common stock: 1.00 par value, 100,000 shares On 1/11/15, ABC Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock for $5 per share (cash). How much cash does the company receive
Answer:
Amount of cash received = $50,000
Explanation:
The authorized share capital is the total maximum amount of shares in units that a company can raised as contained in its memorandum of association.
The issued share capital is the proportion of the authorized share capital that a company has decided to offer to investors to raise capital.
The total amount of issued share capital raised would be equal to
Issued share capital = units issued × price per units
= 10,000 × $5 = $50,000
Amount of cash received = $50,000
Based on the information given the amount that the company received is $50,000.
Using this formula
Cash received=Shares of common stock× Per share
Where:
Shares of common stock=10,000 shares
Per share=$5 per share
Let plug in the formula
Cash received=10,000×$5
Cash received=$50,000
Inconclusion the amount that the company received is $50,000.

When you take your first job, you decide to start saving right away for your retirement. You put $5,000 per year into a saving plan, which interest rate 10% per year. Five years later, you move to another job and stop making contributions to the saving plan. If the first plan continued to earn interest for another 35 years, determine the future worth in year 40.
Answer:
FV= $857,840.94
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
First investment:
Annual deposit= $5,000 per year
Interest rate= 10%
Number of years= 5
Second investment:
Number of years= 35
Interest rate= 10%
Lumpsum= first investment
First, we need to calculate the future value of the first investment. We will use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {5,000*[(1.1^5) - 1]} / 0.10
FV= $30,525.5
Now, the future value of the second investment.
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 30,525.5*(1.1^35)
FV= $857,840.94

Answer:
Ann has a bias of $200,000 in her 100 shares in Brown Corporation.
Explanation:
The full question is as follows;
Ann transferred land worth $200,000 with a tax basis of $40,000, to Brown corporation, an existing entity, for 100 shares of its stock. Brown corporation has two other shareholders, Bill and Bob, each of whom holds 100 shares. With respect to the transfer: a. Ann has no recognized gain. b. Brown Corporation has a basis of $160,000 in the land. c. Ann has a bias of $200,000 in her 100 shares in Brown Corporation. d. Ann has a basis of $40,000 in her 100 shares in Brown Corporation. e. none of the above.
Answer
Ann has a bias of $200,000 in her 100 shares in Brown Corporation.
Explanation
From the question, we can see that Ann traded 200,000 worth of asset for 100 shares.
What this means is that the basis of her shares will be 200,000
We can also see that a capital gain of 160,000 is recognized. The capital gain is recognized because the land which was traded has a basis of 40,000 for 200,000. This makes it taxable due to the capital gain.
Hence, the land will enter Brown Corporation as 200,000 and not 160,000

A firm pays Pam $40 per hour to assemble personal computers. Each day, Pam can assemble 4 computers if she works 1 hour, 7 computers if she works 2 hours, 9 computers if she works 3 hours, and 10 computers if she works 4 hours. Pam cannot work more than 4 hours day. Each computer consists of a motherboard, a hard drive, a case, a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse. The total cost of these parts is $600 per computer. What is the marginal cost of producing the computers that Pam can assemble during her 2nd hour of work
Answer:
$1,840
Explanation:
In order to calculate the Marginal cost of producing the computers in 2nd hour of work, we need to add the marginal cost of computer and marginal cost of wage in the 2nd hour of work.
MC = MC(computers) + MC(wage)
MC = $1,800(w) + $40
MC = $1,840
Working
MC (computers ) = 3 x 600$ = $1,800
hour computers assembled
1st 4
2nd 7
If pam works 2 hours she can assemble 7 computers but she already assembled 4 computers in 1st hour.
So the 2nd-hour computers will be 3 ( 7 - 4) computers.

24. You have saved $4,000 for a down payment on a new car. The largest monthly payment you can afford is $350. The loan will have a 12% APR based on end-of-month payments. What is the most expensive car you can afford if you finance it for 48 months
Answer:
The most expensive car can be afforded is = $17290.89
Explanation:
The down payment of a new car = $4000
The mothly payment (annuity ) = $350
Interest rate on the rate = 12% = 12% / 12 per month.
Now we have to calculate the most expensive car that can be afforded with the finance time of 48 months.
Below is the calculation:
[tex]Present \ value = annuity \times \left [ \frac{1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r} \right ] \\= 350 \times \left [ \frac{1-(1+ 0.01)^{-48}}{0.01} \right ] \\= 13290.89 \\[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total value of car} = savings + present \ value \\= 4000 + 13290.89 \\= 17290.89[/tex]
Nordstrom, Inc. operates department stores in numerous states. Suppose selected financial statement data (in millions) for 2014 are presented below.
End of Year Beginning of Year
Cash and cash equivalents $ 795 $ 72
Accounts receivable (net) 2,035 1,942
Inventory 898 900
Other current assets 326 303
Total current assets $4,054 $3,217
Total current liabilities $2,014 $1,601

Instructions:
Compute the current ratio, current cash debt coverage, accounts receivable turnover, average collection period, inventory turnover, and days in inventory at the end of the current year.
Answer:Please see explanation for answers
Explanation:
A) Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Total Current Assets = $4,054million
Total Current Liabilities = $2,014million
Current Ratio = 4,054 / 2,014 = 2.01 : 1
B. Current Cash Debt Coverage Ratio = Cash flow Provided by Operating Activities / Average Current Liabilities
Average Current Liabilities = 2,014 + 1,601= 3,615 / 2 = $1,807.5
Current Cash Debt Coverage Ratio = 1,251 / 1,807.5 = 0.6921
C. Accounts receivable Turnover = Net Sales / Average Accounts Receivables
Average Account Receivable = 2,035 + 1,942= 3,977 / 2 = $1,988.50million
Net Sales = $8,258million
Account Receivable Turnover = 8,258million / 1,988.50million = 4.15 Times
D. Average Collection Period: 365 / Account Receivable Turnover
Average Collection Period = 365 / 4.15 = 87.95 Days
E. Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
Cost of Goods Sold = 5,328million ,
Average Inventory = 898 + 900 =1,798 / 2 = 899
Inventory Turnover = 5,328 / 899 = 5.93 Times
F. Days in Inventory = 365 / Inventory Turnover Ratio
Days in Inventory = 365 / 5.93 = 61.55 Days

Inventory records for Dunbar Incorporated revealed the following: Date Transaction Number of Units Unit Cost Apr. 1 Beginning inventory 470 $ 2.37 Apr. 20 Purchase 410 2.72 Dunbar sold 580 units of inventory during the month. Ending inventory assuming FIFO would be:
Answer:
Ending inventory= $816
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Apr. 1 Beginning inventory 470 $2.37
Apr. 20 Purchase 410 $2.72
Dunbar sold 580 units of inventory during the month.
To calculate the ending inventory under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the last units incorporated into inventory.
Units in ending inventory= 880 - 580= 300
Ending inventory= 300*2.72= $816
The total value (debt plus equity) of Wilson Dover Inc. is $500 million and the face value of its 1-year coupon debt is $200 million. The volatility (σ) of Wilson Dover's total value is 0.60, and the risk-free rate is 5%. Assume that N(d1) = 0.9720 and N(d2) = 0.9050. Refer to the data for Wilson Dover Inc. What is the value (in millions) of Wilson Dover's debt if its equity is viewed as an option?
Answer:
$313.81
Explanation:
Calculation for the value (in millions) of Wilson Dover's debt if its equity is viewed as an option
Total value = P = $500.0
Debt = X = $200.0
Volatility (σ) = 0.6
rRF = 5%
d1 = 1.910485
N(d1) = 0.9720
d2= 1.310485
N(d2)=0.9050
Using this formula
Vs= PN(d1) − Xe−RFtN(d2)
Let plug in the formula
Vs= $500(0.9720) − $200e−0.05(1)(0.9050)
Vs= $485.98 − $172.17
Vs= $313.81
Therefore the value (in millions) of Wilson Dover's debt if its equity is viewed as an option will be $313.81
Carpenters, Inc., a manufacturing company, acquired equipment on January 1, 2017 for $ 520 comma 000. Estimated useful life of the equipment was seven years and the estimated residual value was $ 20 comma 000. On January 1, 2020, after using the equipment for three years, the total estimated useful life has been revised to nine total years. Residual value remains unchanged. The company uses the straightminusline method of depreciation. Calculate depreciation expense for 2020. (Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places, and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $47,618
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $520,000
Useful life= 7 years
Residual value= $20,000
New useful life= 9 years
First, we need to determine the annual depreciation and accumulated depreciation before January 2020.
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (520,000 - 20,000)/7= 71,429
Accumulate depreciation= 71,429*3= $214,287
New annual depreciation:
Book value= 520,000 - 214,287= 305,713
Annual depreciation= (305,713 - 20,000) / 6
Annual depreciation= $47,618

Answer:
The explicit costs of Harvey's firm in the first year were $605,000
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
In the first year, the firm sold 11,000 units of software
$55 goes for the costs of production, packaging, marketing, employee wages and benefits
Therefore, in order to calculate explicit costs of Harvey's firm in the first year we would have to make the following calculation:
explicit costs of Harvey's firm= units of software sold*costs of production, packaging, marketing, employee wages and benefits
explicit costs of Harvey's firm=11,000*$55
explicit costs of Harvey's firm=$605,000
The explicit costs of Harvey's firm in the first year were $605,000

a. For company receivable turnover
As we know it is
= Credit Sales ÷ current account receivable balance
= $2,940,600 ÷ $457,615
= 6.43 times
b.
Now
company's days' sales in receivables is
= 365 ÷ Receivables turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 6.43
= 56.77 days
c. Therefore the average collection period is the same as days sales in receivable i.e 56.77 days

Tobias, the sole shareholder, has an adjusted basis of $80,000 in his stock. Tobias is paid a $90,000 salary. Ignore the 20% QBID.
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
Given that:
McLin holds $90,000 of AEP, this implies what is salary is made of;
Tobias, the sole shareholder, has an adjusted basis of $80,000 in his stock.
Tobias is paid a $90,000 salary income.
Ignore the 20% QBID
We are to determine the tax aspects of the transactions
Since the company receives a $90000 for salary expense. Thus Tobias basis is zero, then :
The tax aspect of the transaction is : ($90000 - $80000)
The tax aspect of the transaction = $10,000

Pharoah Company sublet a portion of its warehouse for five years at an annual rental of $71700, beginning on May 1, 2017. The tenant, Sheri Charter, paid one year's rent in advance, which Pharoah recorded as a credit to Unearned Rent Revenue. Pharoah reports on a calendar-year basis. The adjustment on December 31, 2017 for Pharoah should be
Answer:
Adjusting entries
Dr Unearned rent revenue $47,800
Cr Rent revenue $47,800 to record accrued rent revenue.
Explanation:
Contract value for one year $71,700
One month of rent $71,700/12 = $5,975
We will need to get how many month that has passed from May to December i.e 8 months
Value of 8 month of rent = 8 × $5,975
= $47,800 i.e earned portion of the contract.
Balance unearned rent revenue at year end= $71,700 - $47,800
= $23,900
Regarding income taxes, which do you think is more important (and why)-- the average tax rate that a firm pays for the marginal tax rate the firm is paying?
Answer:
average tax rate
Explanation:
Based on these two tax rates I would say that the more important of the two is average tax rate. This is because the average tax rate is the total taxes you have paid divided by your total income. This therefore will always be less than the marginal tax rate because the this tax rate is divided by tax brackets which since the average tax rate is specific it will never reach the limit of the tax bracket making it less than the marginal tax rate.
The main goal of monetary policy is to shift Choose one or more: A. aggregate demand. B. short-run aggregate supply. C. long-run aggregate supply.
Answer: aggregate demand
Explanation:
Monetary policy, is the demand side of an economic policy that is used by the government through the central bank in order to control the money supply that is available in the economy so as to achieve macroeconomic goals that will bring about economic growth.
The main goal of monetary policy is to shift the aggregate demand. Increase or decrease in money supply can either shift the aggregate demand to the right or to the left depending on whether the government wants to use the expansionary or the contractionary method.
Texas-Q Company produces and sells barbeque grills. Texas-Q sells three models: a small portable gas grill, a larger stationary gas grill, and the specialty smoker. In the coming year, Texas-Q expects to sell 20,000 portable grills, 50,000 stationary grills, and 5,000 smokers. Information on the three models is as follows:
Portable Stationary Smokers
Price $90 $200 $250
Variable cost per unit 45 130 140
Total fixed cost is $2,128,500.
Required:
1. What is the sales mix of portable grills to stationary grills to smokers?
2. Compute the break-even quantity of each product.
Answer:
1.
Sales mix
Portable grills = 20000/75000 = 4/15 or 26.67%
Stationary grills = 50000/75000 = 2/3 or 66.67%
Smokers = 5000/75000 = 1/15 or 6.67%
2.
Break even in units
Overall = 2128500 / 66 = 32250 units
Portable = 32250 * 4/15 = 8600
Stationary = 32250 * 2/3 = 21500
Smokers = 32250 * 1/15 = 2150
Explanation:
1.
The sales mix is the proportion of sales in units that each product holds in the in relation to the total overall sales in units of all products. The sales mix is calculated as follows,
Sales mix proportion of Product A = Sales in units Product A/Total number of sales in units of all products
The total number of sales in units of all products is,
Total sales in units = 20000 + 50000 + 5000 = 75000 units
Sales mix
Portable grills = 20000/75000 = 4/15 or 26.67%
Stationary grills = 50000/75000 = 2/3 or 66.67%
Smokers = 5000/75000 = 1/15 or 6.67%
2.
We will compute the overall break even point in units in then divide it according to the sales mix to calculate the break even in units of each product.
To calculate the overall break even in units, we need to determine the weighted average contribution per unit.
Weighted average contribution per unit = 4/15 * (90 - 45) + 2/3 * (200 - 130) + 1/15 * (250 - 140)
Weighted average contribution per unit = 66
Break even in units
Overall = 2128500 / 66 = 32250 units
Portable = 32250 * 4/15 = 8600
Stationary = 32250 * 2/3 = 21500
Smokers = 32250 * 1/15 = 2150
