Answer: a. $72,000
b) $20,000
c) Stella $90,000
Euclid $2,000
Explanation:
a) The guaranteed payments in this scenario will be the salary that Stella receives per month. Stella is said to receive $6,000 per month.
The period is determined to be a year so she received $6,000 per month for 12 months.
= 6,000 * 12
= $72,000
b) With an income of $92,000, the partnership made guaranteed payments to Stella to the tune of $72,000. The amount after the payment is,
= 92,000 - 72,000
= $20,000
c) The Income after the Payments is $20,000.
Stella is said to have 90% of that so she gets,
= 20,000 * 90%
= $18,000.
Adding that to the $72,000 she was paid,
= 72,000 + 18,000
= $90,000
Stella will report $90,000 as income.
Euclid with 10% of the profit sharing ratio will report,
= 10% * 20,000
= $2,000
Euclid will report $2,000 as Net Income.
The $10,000 withdrawn by Euclid is not considered income.
LCH is a leading electronics company that produces and markets its own brand of desktop and laptop computers, for both individual consumers and businesses. During the planning process, LCH conducts a ________, which profiles all interactions customers in the target market may have with LCH, its computers, and its services.
Answer:
Communication audit
Explanation:
Communication audit is done to determine how effective communication tools are. It also profers solutions on how to improve on an organisation's communication infrastructure.
Apart from improving internal processes it is used to determine the best way to communicate to the external world.
In this scenario a communication audit is done to measure an external party (the customer) and their interaction with LCH, it's computers, and services.
Knowledge gained can better imporve products and services provided to the customer by LCH
Answer:
Communication audit
Explanation:
A communications audit can be described as a process that is employed to identify the the strength and weakness of the internal and external communication of an organization.
The aims of communication of audit are to obtain level of information the target market has about the company, have the knowledge of past communication practices, the extent of efficiency and effectiveness of the current communication, and the determination of the best communication technique to employ in the future.
Therefore, a communication audit is conducted to profiles all interactions customers in the target market may have with LCH, its computers, and its services.
Ellen's tax client, Tom, is employed at a large company that offers health care flexible spending accounts to its employees. Tom must decide at the beginning of the year whether he wants to put as much as $2,700 of his salary into the health care flexible spending account. He expects that he will have to pay for at least $8,000 of medical expenses for his family during the year since his wife is seeing a psychiatrist every week and his daughter and son are both having their teeth straightened. Tom does not itemize deductions. Should Ellen recommend that Tom put the maximum in his medical flexible spending account, and if so, why?
Karen is a wealthy retired investment advisor who is in the 35 percent tax bracket. She has a choice between investing in a high-quality municipal bond paying 5 percent or a high-quality corporate bond paying 7 percent. Which investment do you think she will make and why?
Answer: 1. Yes he should
2. Municipal.
Explanation:
1. Tom seems to have a lot of medical expenses coming up and so he should set aside as much as he can to cover them.
Another reason he should is that contributions to this type of account are treated as tax deductible. This means that not only does he get to cover his medical expenses, they can also reduce the taxes that he pays for the year.
2. Municipal Bonds are tax exempt and so Karen stands to gain by investing in Municipal Bonds given her tax bracket.
With her tax bracket, the interest earned on the Corporate bond would be,
After tax interest earned = 7% ( 1 - 0.35)
= 4.55%.
This is less than the 5% she would receive from the high quality Municipal bond so she should invest in the Municipal Bond.
A7X Corp. just paid a dividend of $1.70 per share. The dividends are expected to grow at 20 percent for the next eight years and then level off to a growth rate of 5 percent indefinitely. If the required return is 15 percent, what is the price of the stock today? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
$41.64
Explanation:
The computation of the price of the stock today is shown below
Price of stock today = Dividend per share × (1 + growth rate)^n ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^n + Dividend per share × (1 + growth rate)^n ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^n + Dividend per share × (1 + growth rate)^n ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^n + Dividend per share × (1 + growth rate)^n ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^n + Dividend per share × (1 + growth rate)^n ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^n + Dividend per share × (1 + growth rate)^n ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^n + Dividend per share × (1 + growth rate)^n ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^n + Dividend per share × (1 + growth rate)^n ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^n + Dividend per share × (1 + growth rate)^n × 1 + decreased growth rate ÷ (required rate of return - decreased in growth rate) ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^n
= ($1.70 × 1.2 ÷ 1.15) + ($1.70 × 1.2^2 ÷ 1.15^2) + $1.70 × 1.2^3 ÷ 1.15^3) + $1.70 × 1.2^4 ÷ 1.15^4) + ($1.70 × 1.2^5 ÷ 1.15^5) + ($1.70 × 1.2^6 ÷ 1.15^6) + ($1.70 × 1.2^7 ÷ 1.15^7) + ($1.70 × 1.2^8 ÷ 1.15^8) + (1.70*1.2^8*1.05 ÷ (15% - 5%)) ÷ 1.15^8)
= $41.64
We simply applied the above formula
The N represents the time period
If tea and coffee are substitute goods, which of the following is likely to occur if the price of coffee has increased?
A. The demand curve for tea shifts to the right.
B. A rightward or downward movement along the demand curve for tea.
C. The supply curve for coffee shifts to the right.
D. The demand curve for coffee shifts to the right.
Answer:
A. The demand curve for tea shifts to the right
Explanation:
Demand is defined as the measure of sensitivity of quantity demanded is a group with changes in price.
However when there is an increase or decrease in demand as a result of other factors except for price it is called shift in demand.
In the given scenario if the price of coffee increases, it will result in less amount of coffee being demanded. People will look for a substitute (tea).
Demand for tea will increase as a result of shift of the demand curve for real to the right.
This is illustrated in the attached diagram.
Answer:
A. The demand curve for tea shifts to the right.
Explanation:
In the above condition where tea and coffee are substitute goods amongst themselves, it is easily to explain according to the supply and demand theories that when price of coffee increases, the demand curve for tea shifts to the right.
It can be easily seen that a relation showing the amounts of a commodity
there is an increase or decrease in demand as a result of other factors that buyers purchase at alternative prices during a given period of time, and the fact that these goods are substituted against each other made it possible.
Consider the same scenario as in the previous question: On March 31, 2015, Cars, Inc. owes Preston Devices, one of its suppliers, $25,000 for previous purchases. During April 2015, Preston sells Cars devices with a sales price of $10,000 and a cost to Preston of $8,000. During April, Cars pays Preston $12,000 against the amount owed to Preston. If Preston had no other sales and records no other collections from customers during the month of April, the operating section of Preston's indirect method statement of cash flows for April will show the following de-accrual adjustments to net income:
a. Subtract change in accounts receivable; add change in inventory.b. Add change in accounts receivable; subtract change in inventoryc. Add change in accounts receivable; add change in inventory.d. Subtract change in accounts receivable; subtract change in inventory.
Answer:
Explanation:
On March 31, 2015, Cars, Inc. owes Preston Devices, one of its suppliers, $25,000 for previous purchases. During April 2015, Preston sells Cars devices with a sales price of $10,000 and a cost to Preston of $8,000. During April, Cars pays Preston $12,000 against the amount owed to Preston.
Decrease in Accounts Receivable = 12000-10000 = $2000
Decrease in Inventory = $8000
Decrease in Accounts Receivable and decrease in inventory are added to net income under indirect method statement of cash flows
Therefore the answer is Add change in accounts receivable; add change in inventory.The City of South Dundee budget for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, included an appropriation for the police department in the amount of $8,700,000.

Schumpeter’s process of "creative destruction" challenges Porter’s five forces of competition framework by:_______. A. Introducing concepts of renewal and rebirth into the analysis of industrial change.B. Recognizing that cooperation is as important in business as competition.C. Proposing that competitive behavior determines industry structure rather than the other way round.D. Viewing competition is essential for the renewal of mature and declining industries.
Answer:
C. Proposing that competitive behavior determines industry structure rather than the other way round.
Explanation:
The Porter’s five forces of competition is a framework developed by Michael E. Porter in 1979, it is used to measure and analyze an organization's competitiveness in a business environment.
The Porter's five forces of competition framework are:
1. The bargaining power of suppliers.
2. The bargaining power of customers.
3. Threat posed by substitute products.
4. Threats posed by new entrants.
5. Threats posed by existing rivals in the industry.
Joseph Alois Schumpeter was born on the 8th of February 1883 in Moravia, and he later became an Austrian political economist.
Joseph Schumpeter’s process of "creative destruction" challenges Porter’s five forces of competition framework by proposing that competitive behavior determines industry structure rather than the other way round.
From Schumpeter’s perspective, competition among organizations is a process of "creative destruction." He argued that, the essential fact about capitalism is the process of "creative destruction."
Hence, the competitiveness of a business environment causes market dominating organizations to face constant challenges from their counterparts through innovations.
The manager of the Quick Stop Corner Convenience Store (which never closes) sells four cases of Stein beer each day. Order costs are $8.00 per order, and Stein beer costs $3.20 per case. Orders arrive three days from the time they are placed. Daily holding costs are equal to 5 percent of the cost of the beer. What is the economic order quantity for Stein beer?
Answer:
20 Cases
Explanation:
Economic order quantity which is also known as (EOQ) can be defined as the order quantity a company or an organisation should tend to purchase or buy in order to minimize their inventory costs.
Example of this inventory costs are:
Holding costs
Shortage costs
Order costs.
Calculation for the economic order quantity for Stein beer will be:
Numbers of cases × Numbers of days
4 cases× 5 days
= 20 cases
Therefore the economic order quantity for Stein beer will be: 20 cases every five days because the Orders often arrived three days from the time they are placed.
Suppose we changed the units of the tuition variable, so that the new tuition variable is now simply measured in dollars rather than in thousands of dollars. What would happen to the correlation between tuition (in dollars) and number of applicants?
Answer:
The correlation would stay the same, because chainging the measure from thousands of dollars to simply dollars only modifies the nominal values of tuition.
For example, instead of having tuition cost 300 thousand dollars, now it costs 300,000 dollars. The real value, that is to say, the real cost, is the same, and the correlation between applicants and the cost of tuition depends on the real value, not on the nominal value.

Explanation:
Activists believe that ________. it takes a very long time to reach the long run frictions to the self-correcting mechanism of markets prevent prices and wages from being very flexible Keynes was right with his statement "in the long-run, we are all dead" all of the above none of the above
Answer: All of the above
Explanation:
The Long run is a period of time where all the factors of production of a firm are variable. For example, a firm can establish a bigger factory. It takes a longer period of time than the short run.
John Maynard Keynes also believed that in the long run, we are all dead. Also, an economy will self-correct because shocks matter in the short run and not the long run. The self-correction mechanism talks about price adjustment. When there is a shock, prices will adjust and the economy will be brought back to the long-run equilibrium.
Answer:
All of the above.
Explanation:
Activism is used in both politically and also in academic research. Its usage academically means only the willingness of a judge to strike down the action of a certain branch of government or to overturn a judicial precedent, with no implied judgment as to whether the activist decision is correct or not.
Therefore in the scenario above, activism totally believes that it takes a very long time to reach the long run. Their research also welcomes that frictions to the self-correcting mechanism of markets prevent prices and wages from being very flexible. And aslo that Keynes was right with his statement "in the long-run, we are all dead".
Sponsored by five U.S. financial organizations, ___________ is a nonprofit organization that was established in 1985 to identify factors that contributed to fraudulent financial reporting.
Answer:
The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Explanation:
The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) is sponsored by five U.S. financial organizations. It is a non-profit organization that was established in 1985 to identify factors that contributed to fraudulent financial reporting, as well as internal control and guidance on enterprise risk management, business ethics, financial reports and business risk management.
The five (5) U.S financial organizations that sponsored COSO are;
1. Institute of Management Accountants (IMA).
2. American Accounting Association (AAA).
3. American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
4. Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).
5. Financial Executives International (FEI).
For each part below, write a short essay (around 8 sentences) to provide arguments for and/or against the claim presented in that part: (a) (10 points) ”Governments should not try to regulate or interfere with free markets as any such behaviour is bound to cause inefficiency.” (b) (10 points) ”Price mechanism is an effective tool that can be used to achieve efficient provision of public goods.”
Explanation:
a) A free market would allow the laws of demand and supply to flourish; prices of commodities will be set by manufacturers based on demand. However, Government regulations which interfere with the free market is going to result in feeling the pain of monopoly.
b) Indeed, the price mechanism when controlled by the government can result in efficient provision of public goods.
One such example of a public good ls PMS (premium motor spirit) used as petrol in most vehicles. Controlling the price of petrol by the government in most cases helps avoid excessive charges from petrol stations per pump price.
Tructuring a Special-Order Problem Harrison Ford Company has been approached by a new customer with an offer to purchase 10,000 units of its model IJ4 at a price of $3.80 each. The new customer is geographically separated from the company's other customers, and existing sales would not be affected. Harrison normally produces 75,000 units of IJ4 per year but only plans to produce and sell 60,000 in the coming year. The normal sales price is $12 per unit. Unit cost information for the normal level of activity is as follows:
Direct materials: $1.75
Direct labor: 2.50
Variable overhead: 1.50
Fixed overhead: 3.25
Total: $9.00
Fixed overhead will not be affected by whether or not the special order is accepted. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
Answer:
Effect on income= $19,500 decrease
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Offer:
Purchase 10,000 units of its model IJ4 for $3.80 each.
Direct materials: $1.75
Direct labor: 2.50
Variable overhead: 1.50
Unitary variable cost= $5.75
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs:
Effect on income= 10,000* (3.8 - 5.75)= $19,500 decrease
Dmitri and Frances Cuttner live in Swarthmore, PA. Frances's father, Jake, lives in Sweden.
For each of the following transactions that occur in their lives, identify whether it is included in the calculation of U.S. GDP as part of consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), exports (X), or imports (M).
Transaction CIGXM
Dmitri's employer upgrades all of its computer systems
using U.S.-made parts.
Frances gets a new refrigerator made in the United States.
Dmitri buys a bottle of Italian wine.
The state of Pennsylvania repaves highway PA 320, which
goes through the center of Swarthmore.
Frances's father in Sweden orders a bottle of Vermont
maple syrup from the producer's website.
Answer and Explanation:
As we know that
Gross domestic product = Consumption + Investment + Government purchase + Net exports
where,
Net exports = Exports - imports
It is the finailzed value of all goods and services that are produced and consumed within the boundary
These are the 5 parts of the gross domestic product. by this we can easily calculate the gross domestic product
Based on the above, the classifications are as follows
Dmitri's employer upgrades all of its computer systems using U.S.-made parts. = Investment as it upgrades all the computer system
Frances gets a new refrigerator made in the United States. = Consumption. As the new refrigerator consume accrodinhg to the need
Dmitri buys a bottle of Italian wine. = Import and consumption. It is an import plus consumption first it is purchased and then after purchasing it is consumed
The state of Pennsylvania repaves highway PA 320, which goes through the center of Swarthmore. = Government purchase as it is for the benefit of the general public
Frances's father in Sweden orders a bottle of Vermont maple syrup from the producer's website. = export as it is for the third party so the same come under the export
First City Bank pays 7 percent simple interest on its savings account balances, whereas Second City Bank pays 7 percent interest compounded annually. If you made a $73,000 deposit in each bank, how much more money would you earn from your Second City Bank account at the end of 9 years
Answer:
$ 15,217.52
Explanation:
The future amount in the account nine years' time is computed using the future value formula below:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
PV is the amount of deposit of $73,000
r is the rate compound rate of interest of 7%
n is the length of time of deposit which is 9 years
FV=$73,000*(1+7%)^9=$ 134,207.52
Amount earned=interest=FV-PV=$ 134,207.52-$73,000.00=$ 61,207.52
The first bank interest is computed thus:
I=PRT
P is $73,000
R is the rate of 7%
T is 9 years
I=$73,000*7%*9=$45,990
The difference between the two interest amounts=$ 61,207.52-$ 45,990.00 =$ 15,217.52
You can earn $12,088.06 more money from Second City Bank account at the end of 9 years compared to your First City Bank account.
To calculate the difference in earnings between the two banks, we need to compare the interest earned over 9 years with a $73,000 deposit.
First City Bank:
The interest is calculated using simple interest, so the annual interest earned would be: 7% of $73,000 = $5,110
Since it is simple interest, the interest earned remains constant each year, so the total interest earned over 9 years would be: $5,110 x 9 = $45,990
Second City Bank:
The interest is compounded annually, so we can use the formula for compound interest:
A = [tex]P(1 + r/n)^(n*t)[/tex]
In this case, the principal (P) is $73,000, the annual interest rate (r) is 7% (or 0.07), the interest is compounded annually (n = 1), and the time period (t) is 9 years.
A =[tex]$73,000(1 + 0.07/1)^(1*9)[/tex]
A ≈ $131,078.06
The interest earned would be the difference between the final amount and the initial deposit:
Interest earned = $131,078.06 - $73,000 = $58,078.06
Therefore, you would earn $58,078.06 - $45,990 = $12,088.06

Most companies are unlikely to intentionally provide shoddy, harmful, or unsafe products because _______. A. they want to develop long-term relationships with customers B. it costs more to provide quality products C. they know that customers will shrug off errors for a while D. they won't face liability lawsuits and expensive awards for damages E. they are confident they can appease consumer groups and regulators
Answer:
Most companies are unlikely to intentionally provide shoddy, harmful, or unsafe products because they want to develop long-term relationships with customers.
Option: (A)
Explanation:
The merit of a company is determined by the end consumers based on the quality of the products that the company manufactures.Though other factors like timely delivery of the product, the soundness of the distribution channel put to work by the company, a prompt feedback system, etc., are also important for developing long-term relationships with customers, they do not play a role as significant as the 'quality' of the product. Only if the quality of the product delivered by the company is unparalleled, it is subject to gain the trust of its customers and build better relationships with them.The majority of companies deliberately provide damaging or inferior products because:
A). They want to develop long-term relationships with customers.
Several companies intentionally deliver poor-quality products to the customers and the key reason behind this is that they aim to develop long-term associations with the customers. They do it by providing effective customer support to the customers and opportunities for home pick-up exchange or return of the product without any additional charges. This helps them develop customers' trust in their company which will help open the gateway for more future orders from them.Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Materials used by Square Yard Products Inc. in producing Division 3's product are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of $5.00 per unit. However, the same materials are available from Division 6. Division 6 has unused capacity and can produce the materials needed by Division 3 at a variable cost of $3.00 per unit. A transfer price of $3.20 per unit is established, and 40,000 units of material are transferred, with no reduction in Division 6's current sales.
How much would Division 3's income from operations increase?
a. $150,000
b. $50,000
c. $32,000
d. $72,000
How much would Division 6's income from operations increase?
a. $8,000
b. $15,000
c. $80,000
d. $150,000
How much would Square Yard Products total income from operations increase?
a. $32,000
b. $112,000
c. $80,000
d. $150,000
Answer:
(1) option (d) $72,000 (2) option (a)$8,000 (3) option (c)$80,000
Explanation:
Solution
Given:
Now,
(1) The total cost to be paid to the supplier outside is given below:
= 40,000 units x $5 per unit
= $200,000
The price of transfer to be paid to Division 6 is given as:
= 40,000 units x $3.20 per = $128,000
Therefore, the increase in income from operations for Division C is = $200,000 - $128,000 = = $72,000
(2) The income increase from operations is defined below:
Additional Sales x Contribution Per Unit
Thus,
The per unit contribution = Transfer Price – Variable Cost
= $3.20 - $3 = $0.20 per unit
Hence,
The income increase from operations for Division 6 is given as:
= 40,000 units x $0.20 per unit = $8,000
(3) Now,
The Increase of Income from operations for Division C and the Increase in income from operations for Division 6 becomes,
= $72,000 + $8000 = $80,000
A city assesses property owners $50 million to extend sewer lines to their neighborhood. By year-end, however, it has not begun construction of the new lines and has not collected any of the assessments. It accounts for its wastewater services in an enterprise fund. What should the government do in its year-end enterprise fund financial statements:
Answer:
Recognize the assessments as assessments receivable and revenue.
Explanation:
Practically, this will result in a receivable in the reserve fund, if the amounts are not received when due.
This could be seen when an/a corporation may decide on the amount of an assessment years before the cash is been used.
But cannot really obtain the revenue at the time of the decision, since the corporation can change its decision up until the day the amount is due. Also there are no specific parties being assessed, until the owner on record is known on the day the assessment is due, also the assessment should be recognized as revenue of the reserve fund when due.
Mountain View Resorts purchased equipment at the beginning of 2021 for $46,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated four- year service life is expected to be $6,100. The machine operated for 2,100 hours in the first year and the company expects the machine to operate for a total of 12,000 hours over its four-year life. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021, using each of the following depreciation methods: (1) straight-line, (2) double-declining- balance, and (3) activity-based. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) Depreciation Expense Straight-line Double-declining-balance Activity-based
Answer:
(1) straight-line = $9,975
(2) double-declining- balance = $23,000
(3) activity-based = $6,982.50
Explanation:
purchase cost $46,000
useful life 4 years
residual value $6,100
total operating hours 12,000
(1) straight-line = ($46,000 - $6,100) / 4 years = $9,975 fo 2021
(2) double-declining- balance = 2 x ($46,000 / 4 years) = $23,000 fro 2021
(3) activity-based = 2,100 hours x [$46,000 - $6,100) / 12,000 hours] = 2,100 x $3.325 = $6,982.50
The double declining method is considered an accelerated depreciation method, that is why it is so high.
A company produces a single product. Variable production costs are $12.30 per unit and variable selling and administrative expenses are $3.30 per unit. Fixed manufacturing overhead totals $39,000 and fixed selling and administration expenses total $43,000. Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 4,300 units and sales of 3,750 units, the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing would be:
Answer:
Ending inventory= $6,765
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable production costs are $12.30 per unit
Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 4,300 units, and sales of 3,750 units.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead) to calculate production costs.
Units in ending inventory= 550
Ending inventory= 12.3*550= $6,765
Just as depository institutions differ from non-depository Institutions, there are also differences between the structure and activities of, and the financial products and services provided by, various depository institutions. Read the following statements and indicate which, if any, are true.
A) Mutual savings Banks and credit unions are similar in that both are owned by their depositors, who share in their profits.
B) Demand deposit accounts created by commercial banks are usually called checking accounts or negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts, while those created by Credit unions are called share draft accounts
C) Members of both credit unions and mutual savings banks share a common bond or affiliation
Answer: A. True
B. True
C. False
Explanation:
A. Both Mutual Savings Banks and Credit Unions are owned by the their depositors. Credit Unions are owned and operated by members for the purpose of creating banking services for themselves at a cheaper cost.
Mutual Savings Banks are also owned by members who felt that traditional banks did not favour them.
B. Demand Deposit accounts exist in both commercial banks and Credit Unions but with different names. In Commercial banks they are known as Checking accounts for the most part but Credit Unions call them Share Draft Accounts and members of the Union can use these accounts by writing drafts like Commercial banks allow cheques.
C. While Credit Unions were formed usually for people in the same organisations or people with a common bond, Mutual Savings Banks were generally meant to uplift the lower economic classes so they did not share a common bond as Credit Union members do.
On January 1, 2021, purchased $100,000 of Anand Company bonds at face value. The Anand bonds pay 6% coupon rate. On the purchase date, the market interest rate was 6% for bonds of similar risk and maturity. The bonds pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31 of each year. Rupar accounts for the bonds as a held-to-maturity investment, and uses the effective interest method. On June 30, 2021, Rupar would record a credit to interest revenue of:
Answer: $3,000
Explanation:
On June 30, 2021, Rupar would have held the bond for 6 months. The coupon rate is an annual figure and so must be translated to a semi annual figure.
To do that simy divide by 2.
= 6% /2
= 3%.
The bond is paid interest on at face value as well.
Therefore the interest on June 30 is,
= 100,000 * 3%
= $3,000
In an industry that is dominated by a few large companies, incentives are
used to attract customers rather than price changes. What type of business
market is this?
O
A. An oligopoly
B. An entrepreneurship
O
C. A subsidiary
O
D. A conglomerate
SUBMIT
Answer:
An Oligopoly
Explanation:
An Oligopoly is a type of business in which a few number of large organisations have total control over the market. In this type of business, the price of each goods sold in the market depends mostly on the conduct of each companies this factor can prevent new competitors from entry into the market, this is done to protect the amount of profit generated by each firm.
There is a high rate of competition in the market as each companies are bringing up new ways to advertise their products. Therefore, if a particular firm reduces their price another firm will follow suit by futher reducing their products, this is why incentives is used in this type of business to attract customers. This can be done by giving discounts on the purchase of a product or giving out free samples of the product to customers. All these are carried out to increase sales.
Alpha Company has sales revenue of $5,000,000, cost of goods sold of $2,000,000, and net income of $750,000. For the last three years, the company has 1,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 200,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The company does not have any preferred stock. What is basic EPS for Alpha Company
Answer:
The basic EPS for Alpha Company is $3.75 per share
Explanation:
The earnings per share are the net income for the year divided by the weighted average number of common stock issued and outstanding.
Net income here belongs to only common stockholders since the company has no debt finance nor preferred stock.
the net income is $750,000
The weighted average number of common stock issued and outstanding is 200,000
earnings per share=$750,000/200,000=$3.75 per share
Item 13Item 13 Jacques relies on a cost-benefit analysis to decide if moving operations overseas is better than increasing the size of the current manufacturing facility in the United States. He is using the ________ approach to ethics to determine his answer.
Answer:
Utilitarian approach.
Explanation:
Utilitarian approach evaluates actions to be taken in terms of its consequences and outcomes.
The aim of the utilitarian approach is to ensure the largest number of people benefit while the lowest number of people are harmed.
In this scenario Jacques uses a cost-benefit analysis to decide if moving operations overseas is better than increasing the size of the current manufacturing facility in the United States.
Cost benefit tries to determine if the benefit of an action outweighs it's cost. Based on findings the best option that has the greatest benefit is selected.
Farmers rotate their crops between corn and soybean to increase crop yields. This behavior exhibits a. Economies of scale b. Diseconomies of scale c. Economies of scope d. Diseconomies of scope
Answer:
c. Economies of scope
Explanation:
In business, economies of scope refers to producing more than one product or service because you can earn higher profits by diversifying your production. The cost of producing these products together or one after another is lower or yields more benefits than producing them separately.
In agriculture economies of scope refers to producing as many different crops as you can on the same fields. In the case of soybean and corn (or wheat), the crops are rotated because each crop required different nutrients from the soil.

The option B is the right choice.
One difference between a monopoly and a competitive firm is that A. a monopoly faces a downward sloping demand curve. B. a monopoly is a price taker. C. a monopoly maximizes profit by setting marginal revenue equal to marginal cost. D. None of the above.
Answer:
A. a monopoly faces a downward sloping demand curve.
Explanation:
In business, it is seen to occur because they have no competition, monopolists have no incentive to improve their products. A lot of their focus is instead placed on maintaining monopolistic conditions through bribing their way and other tactics that dissuade competitors from entering the market.
Demand curve slopes downward, this is said to decreases with each unit of production beyond the profit maximizing quantity and in the eyes of the monopolist, cash is lost with each additional unit been produced, causing marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue. This causes the restricted output and higher costs that characterize products produced by monopolists.
Because the demand curve slopes downward, marginal revenue decreases with each unit of production beyond the profit maximizing quantity. Thus, the monopolist loses money with each additional unit produced, as marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue.
Landen Corporation uses a job-order costing system. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:________.

1. Direct labor hours:
a. Predetermined overhead rate per DLH
b. Total manufacturing cost of Job 650
c. Selling price
2. Machine hours:
a. Predetermined overhead rate per MH
b. Total manufacturing cost of Job 660
c. Selling price
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor-hours required to support estimated production 95,000
Machine-hours required to support estimated production 47,500
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 266,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per direct labor-hour $ 2.60
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 5.20
Job 550:
Direct materials $ 273
Direct labor cost $ 237
Direct labor-hours 15
Machine-hours 5
1) a. First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (266,000/95,000) + 2.6
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5.4 per direct labor hour
b. Total manufacturing cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
Total manufacturing cost= 273 + 237 + 5.4*15
Total manufacturing cost= $591
c. Selling price= 591*2= $1,182
2) a.
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (266,000/47,500) + 5.2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10.8 per machine hour
b. Total manufacturing cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
Total manufacturing cost= 273 + 237 + 10.8*5
Total manufacturing cost= $564
c. Selling price= 564*2= $1,128
