Assume that a state government currently provides no child-care subsidies to working single parents, but it now wants to adopt a plan that will encourage labor force participation among single parents. Suppose that child-care costs are hourly, and suppose the government adopts a child-care subsidy that pays $3 per hour for each hour the parent works, up to 8 hours per day. Draw a current budget constraint (net of child-care costs) for an assumed single mother and then draw in the new constraint. Discuss the likely effects on labor force participation and hours of work.
Answer:
The line on the graph will be parallel to the pre-subsidy line and the new constraint will then be equal to the points connecting the two lines.
Explanation:
The subsidy by government to single parents is $3 per hour for up to 8 hours. The total of subsidy will be $16 for each day. The labor force who were not receiving the subsidy before had steep indifference curve but now few workers will find utility maximization with flatter indifference curve so the workers will join the subsidy program.
Your family business produces a secret recipe salsa and distributes it through both smaller specialty stores and chain supermarkets. The chains have been demanding sizable discounts but you do not want to drop your prices to the specialty stores. When can you legally accommodate the chains without losing profits from the specialty stores
Answer:
We can make the chain supermarkets buy goods in bulk.
Explanation:
In the given scenario the chain supermarkets have been demanding heavy discounts on goods that you are selling to them.
Also you do not want the eventual price to the speciality stores to drop.
The solution will be to sell products in bulk to the chain supermarkets. This will meet their demand for larger discounts as price per unit of product will be lower with bulk purchase.
Then the speciality stores can still buy in small quantities for higher price.
This will accommodate the requirements from both stores.
etaline Corp. uses the weighted average method for inventory costs and had the following information available for the year. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the year: Beginning Work in Process (40% complete, $1,100) 200 units Ending inventory of Work in Process (80% complete) 400 units Total units started during the year 3,200 units
Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 3,520
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Ending inventory of Work in Process (80% complete) 400 units
Total units started during the year 3,200 units
To calculate the equivalent units using the weighted-average method, we need to use the following formula:
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= 3,200 + (400*0.8)
Equivalent units of production= 3,520

Explanation:
Perpetual Inventory method calculates the Costs of Sales together with the Inventory value after each and every transaction.
Weighted Average Cost calculates a new unit cost after each and every Purchase made. This unit cost is then used to determine the Cost of Sales and Inventory Value.
New Unit Cost Calculations
Unit Cost = Total Available Cost ÷ Units Available for Sale
April 11
Unit Cost = (12 x $45 + 13 x $47) ÷ 25 = $46.04
April 21
Unit Cost = (7 x $46.04 + 9 x $60) ÷ 16 = $53.89
Flint Corporation is subject to a corporate income tax only in State X. The starting point in computing X taxable income is Federal taxable income which is $750,000. This amount includes a $50,000 deduction for state income taxes. During the year, Flint received $10,000 interest on Federal obligations. X tax law does not allow a deduction for state income tax payments. Flint’s taxable income for X purposes is:_________

Answer:
See the errors identified below.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
The following errors can be identified in the accountant's adjusting entries:
1.The accountant debited the account receivable for $5,000 (i.e. $23,250 - $18,250 = $5,000) without crediting laundry revenue.
Therefore, we should have:
Correct amount of laundry revenue = Laundry revenue in trial balance + (Adjusted account receivable - Unadjusted account receivable) = $182,100 + ($23,250 - $18,250) = $187100
2. The accountant debited laundry suppliers expense instead of crediting laundry suppliers for $3,000.
3. The the accountant credited Prepaid insurance for $3,600 (i.e. $5,200 - $1,600 = $3,600). However, the insurance expense was debited for $600.
4. Instead of crediting accumulated depreciation, the laundry equipment for depreciation expense was erroneously credited by the accountant for $13,000.
5. A debit of $1,000 to wages expense was not made by the accountant.
Additional Note:
After correcting the errors identified above, the correct adjusted trial balance will look as the one in the attached photo.
Your job pays you only once a year for all the work you did over the previous 12 months. Today, December 31, you just received your salary of $58,000 and you plan to spend all of it. However, you want to start saving for retirement beginning next year. You have decided that one year from today you will begin depositing 3 percent of your annual salary in an account that will earn 11 percent per year. Your salary will increase at 6 percent per year throughout your career.
Required: How much money will you have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today?
Answer:
The amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the formula for calculating the future value of growing annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n) / (r - g)) ...................................... (1)
Where
FV = Future value or the amount on the date of retirement = ?
M = First annual deposit = Annual salary * Deposit percentage = $58,000 * 3% = $1,740
r = annual interest rate = 11%, or 0.11
g = salary growth rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of years = 40 years
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,740 * (((1 + 0.11)^40 - (1 + 0.06)^40) / (0.11 - 0.06))
FV = $1,740 * 1,094.30298736951
FV = $1,904,087.20
Therefore, the amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.
List down three characteristic of project
Answer:
A single definable purpose, end-item or result. This is usually specified in terms of cost, schedule and performance requirements.
Every project is unique. It requires the doing of something different, something that was not done previously. Even in what are often called “routine” projects such as home construction, the variables such as terrain, access, zoning laws, labour market, public services and local utilities make each project different. A project is a one-time, once-off activity, never to be repeated exactly the same way again.
Projects are temporary activities. A project is an ad hoc organization of staff, material, equipment and facilities that is put together to accomplish a goal. This goal is within a specific time-frame. Once the goal is achieved, the organization created for it is disbanded or sometimes it is reconstituted to begin work on a new goal (project).
The management of Mitchell Labs decided to go private in 2002 by buying all 3.30 million of its outstanding shares at $17.50 per share. By 2006, management had restructured the company by selling off the petroleum research division for $13.50 million, the fiber technology division for $9.25 million, and the synthetic products division for $23 million. Because these divisions had been only marginally profitable, Mitchell Labs is a stronger company after the restructuring. Mitchell is now able to concentrate exclusively on contract research and will generate earnings per share of $1.40 this year. Investment bankers have contacted the firm and indicated that if it reentered the public market, the 3.30 million shares it purchased to go private could now be reissued to the public at a P/E ratio of 12 times earnings per share.
Required:
a. What was the initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private?
b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 3.30 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 12)?
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What was the initial cost to Mitchell Labs to go private?
This will be calculated as:
= Price per share × Number of shares
= $17.50 × 3.3 million
= $57.75 million
b. What is the total value to the company from (1) the proceeds of the divisions that were sold, as well as (2) the current value of the 3.30 million shares (based on current earnings and an anticipated P/E of 12)?
This will be calculated as:
= $13.5 Million + $9.25 Million + $23 Million + [(12 X $ 1.40) × 3.3 Million]
= $45.75 Million + $55.44 Million
= $101.19 Million
c. What is the percentage return to the management of Mitchell Labs from the restructuring?
This will be calculated as:
= {$101.19 Million - $57.75 Million} /$57.75 Million
= $43.44/$57.75 × 100
= 0.7522 × 100
= 75.22%
A callable bond:
A. Is generally call protected during the entire term of the bond issue,
B. generally will have a call protection period during the final three years prior to maturity.
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
D. is prohibited from having a sinking fund also.
E. Is frequently called at a price that is less than par value
Answer:
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
Explanation:
A callable bond is also called a redeemable bond. It a debt instrument that the issuer may decide to call or redeem before the maturity date.
This is used by bond issuers to have a cheaper cost of borrowing funds.
For example when interests are low the issuer can buy back his bonds at a lower cost this reducing his debt burden.
So callable bonds are structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call or redemption.
What is a subreport?

Explanation:
Job specialization can be defined as a strategic process which typically involves the ability of employees working in an organization to develop specific skills, knowledge, great expertise or professionalism and experience to perform their duties, tasks or job functions effectively and efficiently.
In order to gain the requisite skills, expertise and knowledge for job specialization, it is very important for the employees to have undergone an extensive training and a good number of years in work experience.
The primary purpose of job specialization is to increase efficiency and productivity because the employees are able to specialize in the use of specific tools (equipments) to accomplish their tasks, as well as limit the level of error or mistakes in the production process.
In Business management, method analysis can be defined as the study of the detailed process for the performance of a job i.e how a job is done. Thus, method analysis gives a detailed report on the tasks involved in the performance of a job and how they are to be done.
Basically, methods analysis is particularly valuable when it is used on jobs that:
1. Are high in labor content.
2. Are done frequently.
3. Are unsafe, tiring, unpleasant, and/or noisy.
On 4/1, Renfro Corporation purchased for $765,000 a tract of land on which was located a warehouse and an office building. The following appraised values were collected concerning the property: Land, $300,000, Warehouse $200,000, Office building $400,000. What are the amounts that Renfro should record for the land, warehouse, and office building, respectively?
Answer:
Renfro Corporation
The amounts that Renfro should record for the land, warehouse, and office building, respectively are:
Land = $255,000
Warehouse = $170,000
Office building = $340,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Purchase price = $765,000
Appraised values of:
Land = $300,000
Warehouse = $200,000
Office building = $400,000
Total appraise value = $900,000
Apportionment of Purchase Price:
Land = $255,000 ($765,000/$900,000 * $300,000)
Warehouse = $170,000 ($765,000/$900,000 * $200,000)
Office building = $340,000 ($765,000/$900,000 * $400,000)

29. Randolph is a 30 percent partner in the RD Partnership. On January 1, RD distributes $22,500 cash and inventory with a fair value of $56,000 (inside basis of $28,000) to Randolph in complete liquidation of his interest. RD has no liabilities at the date of the distribution. Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $53,625. What is the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution
Answer: $3125 capital loss
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, we should note that RD Partnership distributes $22500 cash and inventory with inside basis of $28000.
Since Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $53,625, the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution will be:
= ($22500 + $28000) - $53625
= $50500 - $53625
= -$3125
Therefore, there's a capital loss of $3125
High Point Hotel (HPH) has $165,000 in accounts receivable. To finance a major purchase, the company assigns these receivables to Cross Town Bank. Which one of the following statements correctly describes this transaction? HPH will immediately receive $165,000 and will have no further obligation related to these receivables. HPH will receive some amount of cash immediately while maintaining full responsibility for any uncollected receivables. Cross Town Bank accepts full responsibility for the collection of the accounts receivables and, in exchange, immediately pays HPH a discounted value for its receivables. Cross Town Bank accepts full responsibility for collecting the accounts receivables and pays HPH a discounted price for the accounts collected after the normal collection period has elapsed. HPH receives the full amount of its receivables upon assignment but must reimburse Cross Town Bank for any uncollected account
Answer: HPH will receive some amount of cash immediately while maintaining full responsibility for any uncollected receivables
Explanation:
Since High Point Hotel (HPH) has $165,000 in accounts receivable and the company assigns these receivables to Cross Town Bank in order to finance a major purchase, it simply implies that HPH will receive some amount of cash immediately while maintaining full responsibility for any uncollected receivables.
Other options given are incorrect as they don't describe the transaction.

Aliya and Samuel, managers from different departments at Finger Lakes Financial, are discussing the troubling behavior of an employee. Aliya says that it is the responsibility of high-level managers to take steps to prevent legal wrongdoing by punishing offenders. However, Samuel believes that every individual should take personal responsibility for his or her own behavior and that everyone needs to understand how to do the right thing. Samuel prefers a(n) ________ ethics program.
Answer:
Ethics Program
Samuel prefers a(n) ________ ethics program.
personal (individual) ethics program.
Explanation:
But such a personal ethics program cannot work in an organization. An organization is made up of persons from different backgrounds and orientations with differing work and personal ethics. An organizational ethics program cannot succeed by being dependent on personal scruples, as being suggested by Samuel. Every organization requires a company-wide ethics program that is equally applicable to all persons in the organization. The tone of such ethics program should be set at the top of the organization's hierarchy.

Discuss the tax consequences of the incorporation of the business to Cynthia and to Dove Corporation.
Answer:
Cynthia and Dove CorporationAny profits generated by Dove Corporation will be taxed to the corporation and also taxed to Cynthia as a shareholder whenever Dove distributes the profits as dividends. Taxing Dove and Cynthia creates a double taxation burden for both Dove and Cynthia. Dove Corporation does not get a tax deduction when it distributes dividends to Cynthia. Furthermore, Cynthia cannot deduct any corporation loss when incurred. These are unlike when the business was only a sole proprietorship.
