Answer:
(a) Eva endorsed the check, without making any further notations on it, deposited it and sued Maria for the remaining $15,000 she claims is due. Judgment for whom?
Maria's debt is settled (cancelled) because Eva accepted the check and did not write "under protest" or "without prejudice" when she endorsed it. This debt was an unliquidated debt since maria and Eva did not agree on the total amount due, but since Eva cashed the check without writing down any type of notation with respect to their disagreement, the debt will be considered settles.
(b) Instead of the facts in (a) assume that Eva wrote "under protest" on the check when she endorsed it and, after depositing it, sues Maria for $15,000. What result?
If Eva wrote under protest, then she is not accepting Maria's payment. She is entitled to cash the check because she might need the money, but she is making it clear that she doesn't agree with the settlement. Eva could win the suit (that also depends on other factors not specified in the question).
(c) Instead of the facts in (a) and (b), assume that Eva and Maria had a telephone conversation in which Eva agreed to take $60,000 in full satisfaction of Maria’s obligation under the contract. Maria then sent the check, with a letter referencing the telephone conversation. Eva wrote "under protest" on the check, endorsed and deposited it, and then sued Maria for $15,000. What result? Explain.
Unless Maria can prove that Eva agreed with the $60,000 payment, then a court would not even consider the telephone call and the outcome would be similar to question (b). The problem with oral agreements is that one party will say this and the other party will say something else. You need some type of proof in order for an oral agreement concerning a $75,000 (or even $60,000) dispute to be valid.

Suppose the following table displays the production levels of capital goods and consumption goods of the towns of Broseley and Ironbridge.
Ironbridge Capital Goods Consumption Goods Broseley
32 40 40 80
Using the table, select one or more phrases to complete the statement.
Ironbridge has___________
a.an absolute advantage in capital goods.
b. an absolute advantage in consumption goods.
c. a comparative advantage in consumption goods.
d. a comparative advantage in capital goods.
Answer:
d. a comparative advantage in capital goods.
Explanation:
I'm not sure how these numbers should go, but I think it should be:
Capital Goods Consumption Goods
Ironbridge 32 40
Broseley 40 80
Ironbridge's opportunity cost to produce 1 capital good = 40 / 32 = 1.25 consumption goods
Ironbridge's opportunity cost to produce 1 consumption good = 32 / 40 = 0.8 capital goods
Broseley's opportunity cost to produce 1 capital good = 80 / 40 = 2 consumption goods
Broseley's opportunity cost to produce 1 consumption good = 40 / 80 = 0.5 capital goods
Ironbridge has a comparative advantage int he production of capital goods (lower opportunity cost) while Broseley has a comparative advantage in the production of consumption goods.
Opportunity costs refers tot he extra costs or benefits lost resulting from choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. In this case,, if Ironbridge wants to produce 1 capital good, it will have to forego 1.25 consumption goods.

During your presentation to the Board, the members interrupt you to say that they disagree and believe that Charles Schwab and the industry are in the mature stage of the business life cycle. During their critique, they tell you that mature stages have two groups of strategies: to deter new entry and to manage rivals. They express concern about the groups of new small firms that are trying to steal marketshare. Understanding their perspective, you decide to switch gears.
Growth StageWhich strategy do you tell the Board you plan to implement?
a. Manage rivals
b. Deter new entry
Answer:
a. Manage rivals
Explanation:
When the product which the business is offering gets to the maturity stage, I would propose that competing rivals are managed. The maturity stage is the stage where the company continues to record stagnant profit. The profit neither reduces nor increases and they also have to deal with new rivals. When this happens, it is best that the company engages its best brains to brainstorm on innovative strategies to supersede their rivals.
Some of these strategies might involve extending their products and services to other locations so that they can start from the initial stages of business growth, diversification, or price adjustments. Any of these options should be fully explored so that they can remain in the market and exceed their rivals.
Nagle Inc. uses a job-order costing system in which any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold at the end of the month. In October the company completed job O43G that consisted of 15,000 units of one of the company's standard products. No other jobs were in process during the month. The job cost sheet for job O43G shows that the total cost for the job was $836,250. During the month, the actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $204,880 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied to job O43G was $221,600. Also during the month, 9,000 completed units from job O43G were sold. No other products were sold. The cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for October is closest to:

Rajiv and Simone Redondo live in Swarthmore, PA. Simone's father, Yakov, 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). Check all that apply.
a. The state of Pennsylvania repaves highway PA 320, which goes through the center of Swarthmore.
b. Simone gets a new refrigerator made in the United States.
c. Simone's father in Sweden orders a bottle of Vermont maple syrup from the producer's website.
d. Rajiv's employer upgrades all of its computer systems using U.S.-made parts.
d. Rajiv buys a sweater made in Guatemala.
Answer:
a. The state of Pennsylvania repaves highway PA 320, which goes through the center of Swarthmore. - Government Purchases (G).
The Government purchases/ expenditure portion of GDP includes the expenses by Government on the economy. This expenditure by the Pennsylvania Government will therefore come under here.
b. Simone gets a new refrigerator made in the United States. - Consumption (C).
Consumption accounts for spending by households and individuals in the economy. Simone lives in the US and buys goods in the US so this is Consumption.
c. Simone's father in Sweden orders a bottle of Vermont maple syrup from the producer's website. - Exports (X)
Exports are goods made in a country which are then sold to consumers outside the country. Simone's father is in Sweden so buying an American product is an export for the United States.
d. Rajiv's employer upgrades all of its computer systems using U.S.-made parts. - Investment (I).
Investment refers to spending by private interests that are aimed to improve capital goods in the economy. Spending on upgrading computer systems therefore falls here.
e. Rajiv buys a sweater made in Guatemala. - Imports (M)
When a person buys a good that is made outside the country, this is an import.

Considering the events described above, which of the following statements is true
Answer:
Both statements are true
Explanation:
Due to the worm infestation, there would be a fall in supply of apples, this would lead to a shift of the supply curve to the left
a fall in price in apples, would lead to a movement down along the supply curve.
Only a change in price of a good leads to a movement along the supply curve for the good, other factors lead to a shift of the supply curve
Mahaney owns Headed West, a shop selling pipes and other smoking accessories. He hired artists to showed musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, and others. The city of Englewood cited Mahaney for three sign code violations:______.
(1) failing to obtain a permit; (2) failing to obtain city manager approval before the murals were painted; and (3) exceeding the maximum sign area allowed.
Mahaney brought an action for relief, alleging that the city ordinances violate the First Amendment. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the city. Mahaney appealed. Do you think he has a case? Why?
Answer:
Actually Mahaney won the appeal because the Colorado Appeals Court determined that the city's ordinance did actually violate Mahaney's first amendment rights.
The court based its decision in the fact that the city's ordinance acts like a prior restraint to freedom of speech. According to the city ordinance, the city manager had the right to approve or disapprove murals. The city manager could freely decide which murals were appropriate and which were not. The court established that the city can impose restrictions to the size of signs, or some other regulations that apply to everyone and can be met by everyone.
In this specific case, the third violation regarding the maximum sign area could apply, but the other two regarding the prior permit or the city manager's approval do not hold.
Dowell Company produces a single product. Its income statements under absorption costing for its first two years of operation follow.

Units produced 30,000 30,000
Units sold 20,000 40,000
Variable cost per unit and total fixed costs are unchanged during 2016 and 2017. The company's $31 per unit product cost consists of the following.
Direct materials $5
Direct labor 9
Variable overhead 7
Fixed overhead ($300,000/30,000 units) 10
Total product cost per unit $31
Selling and administrative expenses consist of the following.
2016 2017
Variable selling and administrative expenses ($2.50 per unit) $50,000 $100,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses 240,000 240,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $287,000 $322,000
Required:
What are the differences between the absorption costing income and the variable costing income for these two years?
Answer:
the income statement using the variable costing method would be:
2016 2017
Sales revenue $920,000 $1,840,000
Variable costs:
Direct materials $100,000 $200,000Direct labor $180,000 $360,000Overhead $140,000 $280,000S&A $50,000 $100,000Contribution margin $450,000 $900,000
Fixed costs:
Overhead $300,000 $300,000S&A $240,000 $240,000Operating income ($90,000) $360,000
the differences are:
Under absorption costing, the ending inventory carries $100,000 of fixed overhead, so the 2016 operating income = ($90,000) + $100,000 = $10,000. While the 2017 operating income = $360,000 - $100,000 = $260,000.
The problem with variable costing method is that it underestimates the value of ending inventory. In this case, ending inventory will be worth only $210,000 (direct materials + direct labor + variable overhead) instead of $310,000 (including allocation of fixed costs incurred during 2016).

Explain why two employees at a company, earning the same gross pay, might have different net pays.
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
Two employees with the same gross pay will have different net pay because of differences in deductions. Net pay is the amount that reflects in the employee's bank account after all deductions. Involuntary deductions are mandatory and comprise statutory deductions such as social security, medicare, taxes, or others prescribed by the state or the courts. To a large extent, employees with similar gross pay will have the same statutory deductions.
Voluntary deductions are employee-initiated. They include mortgages, retirement plans, medical, life assurance, dental, and general insurance. These deductions are not uniform. Each employee will have a different amount deducted depending on their preferences. Voluntary deductions contribute significantly to two employees with the same gross pay to have different net pay.

She worked there until March 31, 2021, when she transferred to Kamnik, Slovenia. She worked in Kamnik for the remainder of 2021. Her salary for the first seven months of 2020 was $225,000, and it was earned in the United States. Her salary for the remainder of 2020 was $165,000, and it was earned in Augsburg. Catherine's 2021 salary from DSC was $425,000, with part being earned in Augsburg and part being earned in Kamnik.
Assume the 2021 indexed statutory amount is the same as the 2020 indexed amount. Assume a 365-day year for both years. When required, round any fractions out to four decimal places.
a. Is Catherine eligible for the foreign income exclusion for 2020?
b. Catherine may exclude ___________ from her gross income for 2020.
Answer:
a. Is Catherine eligible for the foreign income exclusion for 2020?
Yes
b. Catherine may exclude $45,104 from her gross income for 2020.
Explanation:
In order for Catherine to qualify for the foreign income exclusion, she must have lived in a foreign country for at least 1 one (physical presence test). She lived for more than 1 year if we combine her residence in Germany and Slovenia.
The foreign income exclusion amount for 2020 is $107,600, and Catherine can exclude up to (153 days / 365 days) x $107,600 = $45,103.56 ≈ $45,104.
A production line has three machines A, B, and C, with reliabilities of .99, .96, and .93, respectively. The machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. Engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line's reliability. Plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. In either case, three machines (A, B, and C) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three.
a. Which plan will provide the higher reliability?
b. Explain why the two reliabilities are not the same.
c. What other factors might enter into the decision of which plan to adopt?
Answer: plan B is better
Explanation:
Machines _____reliability
__A__________ 0.99
__B__________ 0.96
__C__________ 0.93
Backup machines A, B, C also have similar probabilities :
PLAN 1:
P(success) = 0.99 * 0.96 * 0.93 = 0.8839
P(line fails) = 1 - 0.8839 = 0.1161
P(backup) = 0.99 * 0.96 * 0.93 = 0.8839
P(success) + [p(line fails) * p(backup)]
0.8839 + (0.1161 * 0.8839)
0.8839 + 0.10262079
= 0.9865
Plan B:
Backup is provided for each machine ;
P(success) + [p(line fails) * p(backup)] for each of machine A, B and C
Machine A:
0.99 + (1 - 0.99)*0.99 = 0.9999
Machine B:
0.96 + (1 - 0.96)*0.96 = 0.9984
Machine C:
0.93 + (1 - 0.93)*0.93 = 0.9951
A*B*C = 0.9999 * 0.9984 * 0.9951 = 0.9934
Plan B has greater probability of success.
2.) plan A provides a central or one single backup option should any of the machines fail. However, plan B provides separate backup options for each of machines A, B and C.
3.) choosing a plan may also depend on the cost of providing each backup plan.
The following events apply to Lewis and Harper, a public accounting firm, for the Year 1 accounting period:
a. Performed $70,000 of services for clients on account.
b. Performed $40,000 of services for cash.
c. Incurred $36,000 of other operating expenses on account.
d. Paid $10,000 cash to an employee for salary.
e. Collected $47,000 cash from accounts receivable.
f. Paid $16,000 cash on accounts payable.
g. Paid a $8,000 cash dividend to the stockholders.
h. Accrued salaries were $2,000 at the end of Year 1.
Required
Show the effects of the events on the financial statements using a horizontal statements model.
Answer:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity => $40,000 = $22,000 + $18,000
Net income = $26,000
Net cash change for the year = $17,000
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the horizontal financial statements.
In the attached excel file, OA denotes operating activity, FA denotes financing activity, and NC denotes net change in cash
The following totals can be obtained from the attached excel file
Assets = $17,000 + $23,000 = $40,000
Liabilities = – $16,000 + $36,000 + $2,000 = $22,000
Stockholders' Equity = $18,000
Therefore, the accounting equation holds as follows:
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity => $40,000 = $22,000 + $18,000
In addition, the following totals can be obtained from the attached excel file:
Revenue = $74,000
Expenses = $48,000
Net income = $26,000
Net cash change for the year = $17,000

Because people uses the internet every single day
A dentist shares an office building with a radio station. The electrical current from the dentist's drill causes static in the radio broadcast, causing the radio station to lose $10,000 in profits. The radio station could put up a shield at a cost of $30,000 or the dentist could buy a new drill that causes less interference for $6,000. Either would restore the radio station's lost profits. Would it be economically efficient for the dentist to buy and put up a shield? Why or why not? By how much would total surplus change?
a. Would it be economically efficient for the radio station to buy and put up a shield? Why or why not? By how much would total surplus change?
c. Would it be economically efficient for the dentist to buy a new drill? Why or why not? By how much would total surplus change?
d. Would it be efficient for the radio station to buy the dentist a new drill? Why or why not? By how much would total surplus change?
Answer:
a. Would it be economically efficient for the dentist to buy and put up a shield? Why or why not? By how much would total surplus change?
No, it is not economically efficient for the dentist to buy the shield.
b. Would it be economically efficient for the radio station to buy and put up a shield? Why or why not? By how much would total surplus change?
No, it is not economically efficient for the radio to buy the shield.
c. Would it be economically efficient for the dentist to buy a new drill? Why or why not? By how much would total surplus change?
No, it is not economically efficient for the dentist to buy the drill.
d. Would it be efficient for the radio station to buy the dentist a new drill? Why or why not? By how much would total surplus change?
Yes, it is economically efficient for the radio to buy the dentist a new drill. The Coase Theorem is an economic theory that states that economic conflicts must be solved regardless of who had the initial rights of whatever is on dispute. In this case, the dentist is causing harm to the radio, but he is doing OK. So the radio has a problem, not the dentist. The radio needs to solve its problem, so they should buy the dentist a new drill.
The economic surplus = $10,000 - $6,000 = $4,000, that means that the radio will be $4,000 better.
