We want to help the user to understand why it gives more preference to the hourly job as compared to the salaries job with benefits
The reasons why the hourly job is better than accepting the salaried job with benefits are as follows:
Hourly job considered to be the goods job for earning the money in haste or at the time when the insurance & vacation should not be considered as the deciding factor. The question that arises is that you are searching for a job or interested to run a family business that has various benefits.Salary jobs provides the compensation along with the other benefits the company provides like insurance, vacation time, incentives, life insurance. In the case of hourly job, the number of hours they actually work and how much energy they would put into their work. They could choose their time also eligible for overtimeIn the case of salaried job, the same amount of money should be provided but along with it the stress should be there like working on weekends, working 10-12 hours a day, etcTherefore in these ways hourly job is better than accepting a salaried job with benefits

The projected capital budget of Kandell Corporation is $500,000, its target capital structure is 60% debt and 40% equity, and its forecasted net income is $500,000. If the company follows a residual dividend policy, what total dividends, if any, will it pay out
Answer:
the total dividend pay out in the case when the residual dividend policy followed is $300,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total dividend pay out is given below:
= Net income - (equity × capital budget)
= $500,000 - (0.40 × $500,000)
= $500,000 - $200,000
= $300,000
Hence, the total dividend pay out in the case when the residual dividend policy followed is $300,000

Under the aging of receivables method, Crimson Inc. expects it will not collect 5% of the amount not yet due, 19% of the amount past due for up to 180 days, and 28% of the amount past due for more than 180 days. The allowance account had a debit balance of $2,800 before adjustment. After adjusting for bad debt expense, what is the ending balance of the allowance account
Answer:
$83,000
Explanation:
The computation of the ending balance of the allowance account is given below:
Given that
Accounts receivable not yet due be $500,000
So, the bad debt for the same should be
= 5% of $500,000
= $25,000
Accounts receivable due for upto 180 days be $180,000
So, the bad debts for the same should be
= 19% of $180,000
= $34,200
Accounts recievable due for more than 180 days be $75,000
So, the bad debts for the same should be
= 28% of $75,000
= $21,000
Now
Ending balance of Allowance aoount is
= $2,800 + $25,000 + $34,200 + $21,000
= $83,000
Dilts Company has a unit selling price of $400, unit variable costs of $250, and fixed costs of $210,000. Compute the break-even point in units using (a) the mathematical equation and (b) unit contribution margin.
Answer:
(a) Break-even point in units using the mathematical equation = 1,400 units
(b) Break-even point in units using unit contribution margin = 1,400 units
Explanation:
(a) Break-even point in units using the mathematical equation
Break-even point in units using the mathematical equation = Fixed costs / (Unit selling price - Unit variable costs) …………….. (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
Break-even point in units using the mathematical equation = $210,000 / ($400 - $250) = 1,400 units
(b) Break-even point in units using unit contribution margin
Unit contribution margin = Unit selling price - Unit variable costs = $400 - $250 = $150
Therefore, we have:
Break-even point in units using unit contribution margin = Fixed costs / Unit contribution margin = = $210,000 / $50 = 1,400 units
EcoFabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $1,162,350. It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool and cotton) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 553,500 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are cutting (cost driver is machine hours) and design (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool is $442,800 and $719,550 is allocated to the design cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows.

You have $100,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expected return of 12.1 percent. Stock X has an expected return of 10.28 percent and a beta of 1.20, and Stock Y has an expected return of 7.52 percent and a beta of .80.
a. How much money will you invest in Stock Y? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b. What is the beta of your portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.)
a. Investment in Stock Y
b. Portfolio beta
Answer:
a. Amount to invest in Y
The amount that will be invested in Stock Y should be such that the expected return of the portfolio would equal 12.1%.
This would be determined by the weights of the stock.
Assume the weight to be invested in X is x.
Portfolio return = (weight of X * Return of X) + (weight of Y * Return of Y)
12.1% = (x * 10.28%) + ( (1 - x) * 7.52%)
0.121 = 0.1028x + 0.0752 - 0.0752x
0.121 - 0.0752 = 0.1028x - 0.0752x
0.0458 = 0.0276x
x = 0.0458 / 0.0276
= 1.6594
Weight in stock Y:
= 1 - 1.6594
= -0.6594
Amount to invest in Y:
= -0.6594 * 100,000
= -$65,940
b. Portfolio beta
It will be a weighted average of the betas of the two stocks:
= (Weight of stock X * Stock X Beta) + ( Weight of stock Y * Stock Y beta)
= (1.6594 * 1.20) + (-0.6594 * 0.80)
= 1.46

Flapjack Corporation had 7,736 actual direct labor hours at an actual rate of $12.10 per hour. Original production had been budgeted for 1,100 units, but only 961 units were actually produced. Labor standards were 7.8 hours per completed unit at a standard rate of $13.21 per hour. The direct labor rate variance is:______.
Answer: $8,586.96 Favorable
Explanation:
Direct Labor Rate Variance = Actual Cost - Standard Cost of Actual Hours
Actual cost = Actual direct labor hours * Actual rate
= 7,736 * 12.10
= $93,605.60
Standard cost of actual hours = Actual hours * Standard cost
= 7,736 * 13.21
= $102,192.56
Direct labor rate variance:
= 93,605.60 - 102,192.56
= $8,586.96 Favorable
Favorable because actual cost was less than the budgeted standard cost.

Charlie's brother, Alexander, also consumes apples (A) and bananas (B). Alexander's utility function happens to be U(A, B) = 5A + 2B.
(a) Alexander has 40 apples and 5 bananas. The indifference curve through (40, 5) also include bundle ( _____ , 2).
(b) Alexander has 40 apples and 5 bananas. With this bundle, Alexander would like to give up _____ apple(s) for a banana.
Solution :
[tex]U(A, B) = 5A + 2B[/tex]
a). Bundles [tex](40, 5)[/tex] = U ( _____ , 2), lie on the same indifference curve. Suppose missing numbers is x.
So, [tex]U(40, 5) = U(x, 2)[/tex]
(40 x 5) + (2 x 5) = 50x + (2 x 2)
210 - 4 = 5x
[tex]x = 41.2[/tex]
So Alexander has [tex]40[/tex] apples and [tex]5[/tex] bananas. The indifference curve though [tex](40, 5)[/tex] also include bundle.
Therefore, (41.2, 2)
b). [tex]$MRS_{BA} = \frac{MU_B}{MU_A}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{\delta U/\delta B}{\delta U/\delta A}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{2}{5}$[/tex]
= 0.4
So Alexander has [tex]40[/tex] apples and [tex]5[/tex] bananas with this bundle. Alexander would like to give up [tex]0.4[/tex] unit apples for a banana.

Required:
a. What is the equity at the beginning of the year? 13000
b. What is the equity at the end of the year? 34000
c. If the company issues common stock of $5,500 and pay dividends of $36,700, how much is net income (loss)?
Answer:
a. $13,000
b. $34,000
c. $10,200
Explanation:
a. Calculation to determine the equity at the beginning of the year
Asset = Liabilities + Equity
$29000 = $16000 + Equity
Equity=$29,000-$16,000
Equity = $13,000
Therefore the equity at the beginning of the year is $13,000
b. Calculation to determine the equity at the end of the year
Asset = Liabilities + Equity
$63000 = $29000 + Equity
Equity = $63000-$29,000
Equity=$34,000
c. Calculation to determine how much is net income (loss)
Opening Equity + Issued common stock – dividend + Net income = Closing Equity
$13,000 + $36,700 - $5,500 + Net income = $34,000
$44,200+ Net income = $34,000
Net income=$44,200-$34,000
Net income=$10,200
Therefore the net income is $10,200
National Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $52 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has been discovered, and if the basic compound were processed into the new variant, the selling price would be $73 per gallon. National expects the market for the new compound variant to be 8,800 gallons initially and determines that processing costs to refine the basic compound into the new variant would be $132,000. Required: a. What would be the effect on total profit if National produces the new compound variant
Answer: $52,800
Explanation:
The effect on profit is:
= (Difference in selling price - Incremental cost per unit of producing the new variant) * Number of gallons of new gallons to be produced
= ((73 - 52) - (132,000 / 8,800) ) * 8,800
= ( 21 - 15) * 8,800
= $52,800
Profit is positive so they should produce the new variant.

What is a market that runs most efficiently when one large firm supplies all of the output referred to as?
a government monopoly
a natural monopoly
a franchise
market power
(Gradpoint)
Answer:
a natural monopoly
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller (one seller) who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes.
A monopolist refers to any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market.
On a related note, a natural monopoly is a market that runs most efficiently when all of the output is supplied by one large business firm. Thus, a business firm is considered to be a natural monopoly if it's capable of producing the total output of the market at a lower cost than two or more business firms could.
Some examples of natural monopoly are the United States Postal Service, electricity grid, water supply, gas network, sewer services, energy distributors, railway service, etc.

Use the following information to compute the cost of direct materials used for the current year. Assume the raw materials inventory account is used only for direct materials. (Assume no indirect materials.)
January 1 December 31
Inventories Raw materials inventory $6,700 $11,000
Work in process inventory 12,400 11,600
Finished goods inventory 10,900 7,500
Activity during current year Materials purchased $127,000
Direct labor 103,200
Factory overhead 47,700
Answer:
Direct material used= $122,700
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
January 1 December 31
Inventories Raw materials inventory $6,700 $11,000
Activity during current year Materials purchased $127,000
To calculate the direct material used, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 6,700 + 127,000 - 11,000
Direct material used= $122,700
Assume a firm generates $2,500 in sales, has a $800 increase in accounts receivable and has a $500 increase in accounts payable during an accounting period. Based solely on this information, cash flow from operations will increase by:
Answer:
Cash flow from operations will increase by $2,200.
Explanation:
The amount of increase in cash flow from operations can be calculated as follows:
Increase in cash flow from operations = Sales - Increase in accounts receivable + Increase in accounts payable …………… (1)
Sales = $2,500
Increase in accounts receivable = $800
Increase in accounts payable = $500
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Increase in cash flow from operations = $2,500 - $800 + $500 = $2,200
Therefore, cash flow from operations will increase by $2,200.
