Answer:
social
Explanation:
Social mobility refers changes in an individual's social economic class within a stratification system. A social stratification system is the way society ranks individuals and families according to the social status. A person's or a family's social status is generally determined by wealth or power (or both).
When a person moves up the social ladder (stratification system) it means that they are improving their status and society generally perceives them as more valuable. E.g. Serguei Brin went from being a Russian immigrant to an extremely wealthy and powerful person after Google was a success. That is a clear example of a person moving up the social ladder.
People can also lower their social class when they lose their jobs and go through severe economic hardships.
A firm's dividends have grown over the last several years. 3 years ago the firm paid a dividend of $1. Yesterday it paid a dividend of $7. What was the average annual growth rate of dividends for this firm? Round the answer to two decimal places in percentage form.
Answer:
The average annual growth rate of dividends for this firm is 90.05%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the average annual growth rate of dividends for this firm we would to have to use the following formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.
7=1*(1+r/100)^3
(7/1)^(1/3)=(1+r/100)
(1+r/100)=1.9005
r=(1.9005-1)*100
=90.05%(Approx).
The average annual growth rate of dividends for this firm is 90.05%
Lomani Ltd acquired two new machines for cash on 1 January 2017. The cost of machine A was $400 000, plus GST, and of machine B, $600 000, plus GST. Each machine was expected to have a useful life of 10 years, and residual values were estimated at $20 000 for machine A and $50 000 for machine B. Because of technological advances, Lomani Ltd decided to replace machine A. It traded in machine A on 31 March 2021 for a new machine, C, which cost $420 000. A $200 000, plus GST, trade-in was allowed for machine A, and the balance of machine C’s cost was paid in cash. Machine C was expected to have a useful life of 8 years and a residual value of $20 000. On 2 July 2021, extensive repairs were carried out on machine B for $66 000 cash. Lomani Ltd expected these repairs to extend machine B’s useful life by 4 years and it revised machine B’s estimated residual value to $19 500. Machine B was eventually sold on 1 April 2023 for $300 000, plus GST, cash. On 1 July 2023, Lomani Ltd decided to use the revaluation model for valuation of Machine C. The fair value of Machine C was assessed to be $220 000 and the future useful life was estimated to be 5 years, residual value remains the same. Lomani Ltd uses the straight-line depreciation method, recording depreciation to the nearest whole month. The end of the reporting period is 30 June.

= $38,000
Depreciation expense for Machine B:
($600,000 - $50,000) / 10 years
= $55,000
Depreciation expense for Machine C:
($420,000 - $20,000) / 8 years
= $50,000
Revised Depreciation of Machine B:
($314,000 - $19,500) / 10 years
= $29,450
a company earned $3,000 in net income for october. its net sales for october were $10,000. its profit margin is
Answer:
30%

The computation of the profit margin is shown below:
Given that
Net income earned for the month of October = $3,000
And, the net sales for the month of October is $10,000
Based on the above information, the profit margin is
= Net income ÷ Net sales
= $3,000 ÷ $10,000
= 30%
By dividing the net income from the net sales we can get the profit margin and the same is to be considered

Prescott Corp. owned 90% of Bell Inc., while Bell owned 10% of the outstanding common shares of Prescott. No goodwill or other allocations were recognized in connection with either of these acquisitions. Prescott reported operating income of $266,000 for 2013 whereas Bell earned $98,000 during the same period. No investment income was included within either of these income totals. On a consolidated income statement, what is the non-controlling interest in Bell's net income?
Answer:
Non-controlling interest in Bell's net income = $136,923
Explanation:
Given:
Prescott Corp. owned 90% of Bell Inc.
Bell Inc. owned 10% Prescott Corp
Computation:
Total income of Prescott Corp = $266,000 + 90% of Bell Inc income......Eq1
Total income of Bell Inc = $98,000 + 10% of Prescott Corp income...........Eq2
From Eq1 and Eq2
Total income of Prescott Corp = $266,000 + 90%($98,000 + 10% of Prescott Corp income)
Total income of Prescott Corp = $266,000 + $88,200 + 0.09 Prescott Corp income
Total income of Prescott Corp - 0.09 Prescott Corp income = $354,200
0.91 Prescott Corp income = $354,200
Prescott Corp income = $389,230.769
Prescott Corp income = $389,231
Non-controlling interest in Bell's net income = $98,000 + 10% of Prescott Corp income
Non-controlling interest in Bell's net income = $98,000 + 10%($389,231)
Non-controlling interest in Bell's net income = $98,000 + $38,923
Non-controlling interest in Bell's net income = $136,923

Oriole, Inc., has four-year bonds outstanding that pay a coupon rate of 6.20 percent and make coupon payments semiannually. If these bonds are currently selling at $920.89. What is the yield to maturity that an investor can expect to earn on these bonds
Answer:
8.58%
Explanation:
For computing the yield to maturity we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Provided that,
Present value = $920.89
Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 6.20% ÷ 2 = $31
NPER = 4 years × 2 = 8 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the formula
The yield to maturity is
= 4.29% × 2
= 8.58%
Analysis reveals that a company had a net increase in cash of $22,420 for the current year. Net cash provided by operating activities was $20,200, net
cash used in investing activities was $11,100 and net cash provided by financing activities was $13,320. If the year-end cash balance is $27,300, the
beginning cash balance was:
Answer: $4,880
Explanation:
The Cashflow Statement shows just how much raw cash a company has and so is very important in Accounting as it shows the company how much it can actually spend.
The beginning Cashflow can be calculated using the formula,
Beginning Cash Balance = Ending Cash Balance - Net Increase in CASH for the year
Beginning Cash Balance = 27,300 - 22,420
Beginning Cash Balance = $4,880
Normally this would be the formula,
Beginning Cash Balance = Ending Cash Balance + Net Outflows - Net Inflows.
Because however, you were already given the Net Increase in cash, use that instead.
Electro Company manufactures an innovative automobile transmission for electric cars. Management predicts that ending finished goods inventory for the first quarter will be 86,000 units. The following unit sales of the transmissions are expected during the rest of the year: second quarter, 430,000 units; third quarter, 455,000 units; and fourth quarter, 247,500 units. Company policy calls for the ending finished goods inventory of a quarter to equal 20% of the next quarter's budgeted sales. Prepare a production budget for both the second and third quarters that shows the number of transmissions to manufacture.
Answer:
Production Budget
Quarter 2= 435,000 units
Quarter 3= 413,500 units
Explanation:
The production budgeted for a particular period is the expected units to be produced after adjusting the sales budget figures for opening and closing inventories.
Production budget = Sales volume + closing inventory - opening inventory
Quarter 2
Closing inventory in second quarter =20%× Quarter 3 sales= 20%×455,000
Opening inventory in Quarter 2 = Closing inventory quarter 1= 20% × quarter 2= 20%× 430,000
Production budget in Quarter 2 = 430,000 + (20%×455,000) - (20%× 430,000)=435000
Quarter 3
Closing inventory in third quarter =20%× Quarter 4 sales= 20%× 247,500
Opening inventory in Quarter 3 = Closing inventory quarter 2= 20%×455,000
Production budget in Quarter 3 = 455,000 + (20%× 247,500) +(20%×455,000)= 413500
Production Budget
Quarter 2= 435,000
Quarter 3= 413,500
The Woods Co. and the Spieth Co. have both announced IPOs at $49 per share. One of these is undervalued by $14, and the other is overvalued by $5, but you have no way of knowing which is which. You plan to buy 1,500 shares of each issue. If an issue is underpriced, it will be rationed, and only half your order will be filled. a. If you could get 1,500 shares in Woods and 1,500 shares in Speith, what would your profit be
Answer:
The profit that would result from both shares is $13,500
Explanation:
Loss would emanate from overvaluation while profit would result from undervaluation,that is the key to solving the question.
Loss from overvaluation=1,500*$5=$7,500
Profit from undervaluation=1,500*$14=$21,000
Profit from the investment =Profit from undervaluation-loss from overvaluation=$21,000-$7,500=$13,500
At December 31, 2020, Sandra’s Boutique had 1850 gift certificates outstanding, which had been sold to customers during 2020 for $70 each. Sandra’s operates on a gross profit of 60% of its sales. What amount of revenue pertaining to the 1850 outstanding gift certificates should be deferred at December 31, 2020?
Answer: $129,500
Explanation:
According to the Accrual Basis in Accounting, revenue and expenses should only be recognised when goods have been delivered.
On the December 31, 2020 Sandra's Boutique had 1,850 gift certificates outstanding but these had been sold already to people during the year for $70.
This means that they have been paid for a service that they have not given (they provide the service when the GIFT certificate is renewed).
They cannot therefore recognize the revenue as Revenue yet and have to defer it.
The amount to be Deferred will therefore be,
= 1,850 * $70
= $129,500

Required:
a. Which of the two projects, A or B, is better in terms of internal rate of return?
Answer:
Project A is better
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
For project A ,
Cash flow in year 0 = $-85,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 6 = $20,676
IRR = 12%
For project B ,
Cash flow in year 0 = $-24,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5= $6,011
IRR = 8%
Because project A has the higher IRR, it is better than project B.
To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Frogue Corporation uses a standard cost system. The following information was provided for the period that just ended:
Actual price per kilogram $2.50
Actual kilograms of material used 31,000
Actual hourly labor rate $18.10
Actual hours of production 4,900 labor hours
Standard price per kilogram $2.80
Standard kilograms per completed unit 6 kilograms
Standard hourly labor rate $18.00
Standard time per completed unit 1 hour
Actual total factory overhead $34,900
Actual fixed factory overhead $18,000
Standard fixed factory overhead rate $1.20 per labor hour
Standard variable factory overhead rate $3.80 per labor hour
Maximum plant capacity 15,000 hours
Units completed during the period 5,000
The direct materials cost variance is:_________.
Answer:
Materials Cost Variance = 6500 favorable
Explanation:
Frogue Corporation
AP= Actual price per kilogram $2.50
AQ= Actual kilograms of material used 31,000
SP = Standard price per kilogram $2.80
SQ= Standard kilograms per completed unit 6 kilograms = 5000 units *6 kg= 30,000 kg
Material Price Variance =( AP -SP)(AQ)=
= ( $2.50- $2.80)31,000 = 9300 Favorable
It is favorable because the standard price is higher than the actual price.
Material Quantity Variance =( AQ -SQ)(AP)= (31000- 30,000) 2.8
= 1000*2.8= 2800 unfavorable
It is unfavorable because the standard quantity is lower than the actual quantity.
Materials Cost Variance =Material Price Variance+Material Quantity Variance
=9300 Favorable+2800 unfavorable=
Materials Cost Variance = 6500 favorable
When favorable and unfavorable are added the unfavorable is with negative sign so they are subtracted.
Evaluate the set of events below. Determine how the events will impact their respective markets. a. In examining the market for personal computers, a technological improvement reduces the cost of production. The effect of the event will be in . As a result, the equilibrium price will and the equilibrium quantity will . b. In examining the market for smart phones, there is a reduction in the number of sellers. The effect of the event will be in . As a result, the equilibrium price will and the equilibrium quantity will . c. In examining the market for apps for smart devices, there is a tax levied on the sellers of apps. The effect of the event will be in . As a result, the equilibrium price will and the equilibrium quantity will .
Answer:
One thing to clear ab initio is that equilibrium quantity and price are achieved when the demand and supply curves intersect at a point. Therefore, at equilibrium, the demand and supply in quantity are equal.
a) If a technological improvement reduces the cost of product, the equilibrium price will reduce and equilibrium quantity will be equal to the quantity demanded and supplied.
b) If there is a reduction in the number of sellers, the equilibrium price will increase and the equilibrium quantity will be equal to the quantity demanded and supplied.
c) If there is a tax levied on the sellers of apps, the equilibrium price will increase and the equilibrium quantity will be equal to the quantity demanded and supplied.
Explanation:
a) The market is in equilibrium when the supply and demand curves intersect, meaning that the quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal. The price and quantity at which this intersection occurs are called the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity respectively. In economics, when quantity supplied equals quantity demanded, an equilibrium situation is achieved, and it is represented by this equation: Qs = Qd; where Qs is quantity supplied and Qd is quantity demanded.
b) Equilibrium price reduces when there is a cost reduction and more supplies are pushed to the market to meet demand.
c) When suppliers leave the market, it means that the market price and demand are no longer attractive and beyond their individual influence. This leads to a reduction in quantity supplied overall.
d) Sales tax increases the price of goods and services, and equilibrium will be achieved when there consumers demand the product with increased price and sellers are willing to produce and sell at such a price.
The predetermined overhead rate for manufacturing overhead for 2018 is $4.00 per direct labor hour. Employees are expected to earn $5.00 per hour and the company is planning on paying its employees $100,000 during the year. However, only 75% of the employees are classified as "direct labor." What was the estimated manufacturing overhead for 2018
Answer:
$60,000= total estimated overhead costs
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The predetermined overhead rate for manufacturing overhead for 2018 is $4.00 per direct labor hour.
Direct labor hour= $5.00 per hour
Direct labor hours= (100,000*0.75)/5= 15,000 hours
To calculate the estimated overhead costs, we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
4= total estimated overhead costs for the period/15,000
$60,000= total estimated overhead costs for the period
Shen's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Philadelphia that sells gluten-free pizzas. Shen's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the three ovens in which his workers bake the pizzas. Shen signed a lease obligating him to pay the rent for the three ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Shen's kitchen cannot fit more than three ovens, Shen cannot change the number of ovens he uses in his production of pizzas in the short run.
However, Shen's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because his workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Shen lets them know how many workers he needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are_________ inputs, and the ovens are__________ inputs.
Answer:
Variable
Fixed
Explanation:
Varbaibe inputs are inputs that can be changed or varied with production. If production is rising, the demand for variable inputs would increase. Because Shen varies his workers, they are a variable input.
Fixed inputs are inputs that cannot be varied or changed in the short run.

A small firm makes three products, which all follow the same three-step (milling, inspection, and drilling) process. Product A requires 6 minutes of milling, 5 minutes of inspection, and 4 minutes of drilling; product B requires 2.5 minutes of milling, 2 minutes of inspection, and 2 minutes of drilling; and product C requires 5 minutes of milling, 4 minutes of inspection, and 8 minutes of drilling. The firm has 20 hours available during the next period (next week) for milling, 15 hours for inspection, and 24 hours for drilling. Product A contributes $6.00 per unit to profit, product B contributes $4.00 per unit, and product C contributes $10.00 per unit. 1 hour has 60 minutes. The firm needs to determine the quantities of product A, B, and C, with a goal of maximizing the total profit.
At the optimum solution, what is the company's profit during the next period?
How many units of each are produced at the optimal solution (use numbers)?
Answer:
At the optimum solution, what is the company's profit during the next period?
$2,070How many units of each are produced at the optimal solution (use numbers)?
180 units of product B135 units of product CExplanation:
Milling Inspection Drilling C.M.
Product A 6 5 4 $6
Product B 2.5 2 2 $4
Product C 5 4 8 $10
total time 1,200 900 1,440
Contribution margin per minute
Milling Inspection Drilling Total
Product A $1 $1.20 $1.50 $3.70
Product B $1.60 $2 $2 $5.60
Product C $2 $2.50 $1.25 $5.75
Even though product C has a higher contribution margin, its total production will be contrained by Drilling, since only 180 units can be completed (= 1,440 hours / 8 hours per unit) profits will equal $1,800.
So we must continue with product B which has the second highest contribution margin per minute with a maximum production of 450 units (Milling is the constraint). This would result in a total profit of $1,800.
The maximum production of product A is also 180 units (inspection is the constraint), which would generate only $1,080 in profits. So we can eliminate product A from the analysis.
Now we need to determine which combination of products B and C should be produced.
If we produce 180 units of product B and 135 units of product C, our total profits will be (180 x $4) + (135 x $10) = $2,070
total number of machine hours employed:
Milling Inspection Drilling
Product B 450 360 360
Product C 675 540 1,080
total 1,125 900 1,440
only 75 hours of Milling will be idle under the production schedule.

"What is the value today of $1,400 per year, at a discount rate of 10 percent, if the first payment is received 5 years from now and the last payment is received 26 years from today
Answer:
Present Value= $7,518.22
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $1,400 per year
Interest rate= 10 percent
Number of years= 21 years
5 years from now a
First, we need to calculate the value of the investment 5 years from now. To do that, we determine the final value and then the present value.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {1,400*[(1.10^21)-1]}/0.1
FV= 89,603.50
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 89,603.50/ (1.1^21)
PV= 12,108.17
Finally, the value today:
PV= 12,108.17/1.1^5
PV= $7,518.22
The cash flows for a project include the:_______.a. net income generated by the project plus the annual depreciation expense. b. sunk costs, opportunity costs, and erosion costs of the project. c. incremental operating cash flow, as well as the capital spending and net working capital requirements. d. net operating cash flow generated by the project, less both sunk cost and erosion costs.
Answer: c. incremental operating cash flow, as well as the capital spending and net working capital requirements
Explanation:
During financial planning for projects, understanding the inflows and outflows of cash which will be created by the project is important. The cash flows for a project include the incremental operating cash flow, and the capital spending and net working capital requirements
The incremental cash flow is an additional operating cash flow which an organization receives from doing a new project. Capital spending is the money an organization spends to purchase, maintain, and improve its fixed assets, like vehicles, land, buildings, or equipment.
Richard Palm is the accounting clerk of Olive Limited. He uses the source documents such as purchase
orders, sales invoices and suppliers’ invoices to prepare journal vouchers for general ledger entries.
Each day he posts the journal vouchers to the general ledger and the related subsidiary ledgers. At the
end of each month, he reconciles the subsidiary accounts to their control accounts in the general
ledger to ensure they balance.
Discuss the internal control weaknesses and risks associated with the above process
Answer:
Internal control weaknesses and risks associated are as follows:
No proper segregation of duties - the accounting clerk is the who prepares the journal voucher and records the transactions in the system. He is also the one who performs monthly reconciliation. With no proper segregation of duties, there is an increased risk of material misstatements due to error or fraud not being detected and corrected. Assets will also be susceptible to theft or misappropriation due to a lack of segregation of duties.
No review is being performed by the clerk before recording the transaction - before recording, the accounting clerk should have matched and reviewed the details per invoice to its supporting documents. With no proper review, there is increased risk that balances in the financial statements are not recorded at correct amounts e.g., liabilities recorded are not valid due to undelivered inventories, assets are overstated due to no actual goods received yet, etc. There's also a risk that transactions are not recorded at the correct accounting period since the clerk does not review the details in the source document.
No review is being performed on the work performed by the clerk - since no oversight or review is being performed, there is an increased risk that the clerk will record fictitious transactions e.g., fictitious sales, fictitious cash disbursement, etc that may result to material misstatements in the financial statements.
The following are the risks associated with the above process;
There is a lot of burden placed on one individual (Richard Palm).
There is no work distribution- Richard does the entire job from dealing with purchasing orders, sales invoices and suppliers' invoices.
The process is prone to fraud and errors as Richard has to manage too much work on his own. In the process of reconciling of the subsidiary accounts to the control accounts he may lose some of the data.
There is also data confidentiality risk- organizations' data should be handled with confidentiality and information should remain private.
Suppose the current spot rate for the Norwegian kroner is $1 = NKr6.6869. The expected inflation rate in Norway is 6 percent and in the U.S. it is 3.1 percent. A risk-free asset in the U.S. is yielding 4 percent. What risk-free rate of return should you expect on a Norwegian security?
Answer:
The risk-free rate of return expected on a Norwegian security is 6.9%
Explanation:
Here, we are expected to calculate the risk-free rate of return on a Norwegian security.
We use the mathematical formula as follows;
Risk-free home - Expected inflation home = Risk free foreign - Expected inflation foreign
Kindly note that home refers to the US while foreign refers to Norway
From the question, we identify the following terms;
Risk-free home = 4%
Expected inflation home = 3.1%
Risk-free foreign = ?
Expected inflation foreign = 6%
Now, plugging these values, we have;
4% - 3.1% = ? - 6%
0.9% = ?- 6%
6% + 0.9% = ?
? = 6.9%
Thus, the risk-free rate of return expected on a Norwegian security is 6.9%
The risk-free asset in the U.S. is yielding 4 percent.
Risk-free rate in US - Inflation rate = Risk free rate in Norway - Inflation rate
4% - 3.1% = Risk free rate - 6%
Risk-free rate in Norway = 0.9% + 6%
Risk-free rate in Norway = 6.9%
So, the risk-free rate of return expected on a Norwegian security is 6.9%.
What is risk-free return?The risk-free rate of return is the theoretical rate of return of an investment with zero risk. The risk-free rate represents the interest an investor would expect from an absolutely risk-free investment over a specified period of time.
A risk-free asset is one that has a certain future return and virtually no possibility of loss.
Thus, the risk-free rate of return expected on a Norwegian security is 6.9%.

You borrowed $30,000 to finance the education expenses for your senior year of college at the beginning of your senior year. The loan will be paid off over five years and the first installment will be due a year later. The loan carriers an interest rate of 7% per year and is to be repaid in equal annual installments over the next five years. Suppose you want to negotiate with the bank to defer the first loan installment until the end of year 2. (But you still desire to make five equal installments at 7% interest.) If the bank wishes to earn the same profit, what should be the new annual installment
Answer:
$7,828.869
Explanation:
For computing new annual installment first we have to determine the equivalent worth of borrowed amount i.e $30,000 which is shown below:
= Borrowed amount × (1 + interest rate)
= $30,000 × (1 + 0.07)
= $30,000 × 1.07
= $32,100
Now the new annual installment is
= Equivalent worth of borrowed amount × (A/P,7%,5%)
= $32,100 × 0.24389
= $7,828.869
Refer to the A/P table for determining the factor

Joe must pay liabilities of 2000 due one year from now and another 1000 due two years from now. He exactly matches his liabilities with the following two investments: Mortgage I: A one year mortgage in which X is lent. It is repaid with a single payment at time one. The annual effective interest rate is 6%.Mortgage II: A two-year mortgage in which Y is lent. It is repaid with two equal annual payments. The annual effective interest rate is 7%. Calculate X + Y.
Answer:
The value of X+Y=2,769
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
x=present value of 2,000
=2,000/(1+0.06)=1,886.79
y=present value of 1,000
=1,000(1+0.07)∧2=873.44
x+y=1,886.79+873.44
=2,760.23
=2,769
The value of X+Y=2,769
Answer:
$2,760.23
Explanation:
As X and Y is the mortgage value, and we need to calculate it by using following formula
FV = PV x ( 1 + r )^n
PV = FV / ( 1 + r )^n
First we will calculate the X
Where FV =Future Value = 2,000
r = Annual effect interest rate = 6%
n = numbers of periods = 1 Year
By Placing values in the formula
PV = $2,000 / ( 1 + 6% )^1
PV = $1,886.79
Now we will Calculate the Y
Where FV =Future Value = 1,000
r = Annual effect interest rate = 7%
n = numbers of periods = 2 Year
By Placing values in the formula
PV = $1,000 / ( 1 + 7% )^2
PV = $873.44
As we need to calculate
X + Y = ?
So,
X + Y = $1,886.79 + $873.44 = $2,760.23
