Answer:
The answer is option A) A peer-review board for alternative dispute resolution usually consists of: an equal number of employee representatives and management appointees
Explanation:
Alternative dispute resolution is an affordable, less time consuming and less formal way of settling workplace disputes. To achieve this feat, a peer review board is constituted.
A peer review board usually consists of employers and management appointees and it could be a voluntary decision on their art to participate.
The pool of individuals nominated to be part of the peer review board is considered objective and unbiased in their assessment of the issue to be resolved. They are also deemed skillful in the art of listening and arbitration.
The following data are taken from the management accounting reports of Dulcimer Co.: Div. ADiv. BDiv. C Income from operations$1,900,000$1,450,000$1,450,000 Total service department charges1,700,0001,050,0001,100,000 If an incentive bonus is paid to the manager who achieved the highest income from operations before service department charges, it follows that a.Division C's manager is given the bonus b.Division B's manager is given the bonus c.Divisions B and C's managers divide the bonus d.Division A's manager is given the bonus
Answer:
Option D
Explanation:
In simple words, the bonus in the given question has to be paid to the managers before the service department charges expenditures which are declining the income from operations. Therefore, it is clearly evident that manager A has best performed in respect to gross revenue collection.
However, the total efficiency is particularly maintained mostly by C division manager as his net income is the highest of them all three. Hence the correct option is D.
Your firm runs a factory that currently produces only jump ropes. You forecast that you will generate $200,000 in after-tax operating cash flows from jump ropes next year. You are considering expanding to produce pogo sticks as well.

The Berkel Corporation manufactures Widgets, Gizmos, and Turnbols from a joint process. June production is 5,000 widgets; 8,750 gizmos; and 10,000 turnbols. Respective per unit selling prices at splitoff are $75, $50, and $25. Joint costs up to the splitoff point are $187,500. If joint costs are allocated based upon the sales value at splitoff, what amount of joint costs will be allocated to the widgets
Answer:
Allocated join cost = $66,176.47
Explanation:
The joint cost is allocated using sales. This is done by using the proportion of sales of the total which is attributed to the sales value of widget
Total sales value of the three products=
(75 × 5,000) + ($50× 8,750) + ( $25× 10,000)= 1,062,500
Joint cost = $187,500.
Joint costs allocated to Widget
= (75 × 5,000)/1,062,500 × $187,500. = 66,176.47
Allocated join cost =$66,176.47
Assume price exceeds average variable cost over the relevant range of demand. If a monopolistically competitive firm is producing at an output where marginal revenue is $23 and marginal cost is $19, then to maximize profits the firm should A) shut down. B) continue to produce the same quantity. C) decrease output. D) increase output.
Answer:D) increase output.
Explanation:
The marginal cost for production and marginal revenue are measures that businesses use in determining the amount of output and the price of a product that will enable them to maximize profits.
When the marginal revenues are greater than the marginal cost of production, then the firm is making profit per unit and should increase its production so as to make more output until profit is attained. When Marginal Revenue are lower or less than the marginal cost of production, then the firm is making a loss per unit and should decrease its production.
Here, competitive firm is producing at an output where marginal revenue is $23 and marginal cost is $19, then to maximize profits the firm should increase output .
Starbuck Corporation had a net income of $250,000 and paid dividends to common stockholders of $50,000 in Year 1. The weighted average number of shares outstanding in Year 1 was 50,000 shares. Starbuck Corporation's common stock is selling for $40 per share on the New York Stock Exchange. Starbuck's dividend payout ratio for Year 1 is _____. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Answer:
20%
Explanation:
The payout ratio can either computed as dividend per share divided by earnings per share or total dividends paid to common stock holders divided by net income for the year.
using the latter formula,the payout ratio of Starbuck Corporation is computed thus:
dividend payout ratio=dividends paid/net income
dividends paid to common stock holders were $50,000
net income for Starbuck for the year was $250,000
dividend payout ratio=$50,000/$250,000=20%
A company uses the percent of receivables method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's unadjusted trial balance reported the following selected amounts: Accounts receivable $ 382,000 debit Allowance for uncollectible accounts 570 credit Net Sales 870,000 credit All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates that 5% of receivables are uncollectible. What amount should be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared
Answer:
$18,530
Explanation:
The computation of the amount debited to the bad debt expense is shown below:
= Account receivable × estimated uncollectible percentage - credit balance of allowance for uncollectible accounts
= $382,000 × 5% - $570
= $19,100 - $570
= $18,530
We simply applied the above formula so that the amount debited to bad debt expense could come

During March 2020, Toby Tool & Die Company worked on four jobs. A review of direct labor costs reveals the following summary data. Actual Standard Job Number Hours Costs Hours Costs Total Variance A257 200 $4,000 210 $4,200 $200 F A258 450 10,350 430 8,600 1,750 U A259 300 6,390 299 5,980 410 U A260 110 2,090 103 2,060 30 F Total variance $1,990 U Analysis reveals that Job A257 was a repeat job. Job A258 was a rush order that required overtime work at premium rates of pay. Job A259 required a more experienced replacement worker on one shift. Work on Job A260 was done for one day by a new trainee when a regular worker was absent. Prepare a report for the plant supervisor on direct labor cost variances for March. (Round actual rate and standard rate to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)
Answer and Explanation:
The Preparation of report for the plant supervisor on direct labor cost variances for March is attached with the help of spreadsheet.
The Formula are as shown below:-
Actual per hour = Actual costs ÷ Actual number of hours
Standard per hour = Standard costs ÷Standard number of hours
Quantity variance = (Actual hours -Standard hours) × Standard Rate
Price variance = (Actual Rate - Standard Rate) × Actual Hour
Therefore if actual hours is lesser than Standard hours it will become favorable and if actual hours is higher than standard hours it will become unfavorable. In the similar way if actual rate is higher than standard rate then it will become unfavorable on the other hand if actual rate is lesser than standard rate then it will become favorable.

Workminusinminusprocess records revealed that 12 comma 500 card units were started in January, 6 comma 250 card units were complete, and 4 comma 000 card units were spoiled as expected. Ending workminusinminusprocess card units are complete in respect to direct materials costs. Spoilage is not detected until the process is complete. What is the direct material cost assigned to good units completed? A. $ 258 comma 621 B. $ 150 comma 000 C. $ 96 comma 000 D. $ 246 comma 000
Answer:
D. $246,000
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of direct material cost assigned to good units completed is provided below:-
To reach Cost transferred out we need to follow some steps which is following below:-
Step 1. Cost per unit = cost of material used ÷ Units started
= $300,000 ÷ 12,500
= $24
Now,
Step 2. Goods units completed = Started units × Cost per unit
= 6,250 × $24
= $150,000
Step 3. Normal spoilage = Cards units × Cost per unit
= 4,000 × $24
= $96,000
and finally
Cost transferred out = Goods units completed + Normal spoilage
= $150,000 + $96,000
= $246,000
To reach allocation of Cost transferred out we simply put the values into formula.

In 2020, Marigold Corp., issued for $102 per share, 86000 shares of $100 par value convertible preferred stock. One share of preferred stock can be converted into three shares of Marigold's $25 par value common stock at the option of the preferred stockholder. In August 2021, all of the preferred stock was converted into common stock. The market value of the common stock at the date of the conversion was $30 per share. What total amount should be credited to additional paid-in capital from common stock as a result of the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock?
Answer:
$2322,000
Explanation:
The computation of amount credited to additional paid-in capital is shown below:-
Amount credited to additional paid-in capital = Issued per share × Number of shares) - (Number if shares × Preferred stock shares converted into three shares × Par value of common stock
= ($102 × 86,000) - (86,000 × 3 × $25)
= $8,772,000 - $6,450,000
= $2322,000
So, for computing the amount credited to additional paid-in capital we simply applied the above formula.
A large bakery makes cakes for freezing and subsequent sale. The bakery can produce cakes at the rate of 484 cakes per day. The bakery sets up the cake-production operation and produces until a predetermined number (Q) have been produced. When not producing cakes, the bakery uses its personnel and facilities for producing other bakery items. The setup cost for a production run of cakes is $100. The cost of holding frozen cakes in storage is $9 per cake per year. The annual demand for frozen cakes, which is constant over time, is 54600 cakes. Assume 364 days a year and 52 weeks a year. What is the "daily" demand rate
Answer:
150
Explanation:
The computation of the daily demand rate is shown below:
Daily demand rate = Annual demand for frozen cakes ÷ total number of days in a year
= 54,600 cakes ÷ 364 days
= 150
By dividing the annual demand from the total number of days in a year we can get the daily demand rate and the same is shown above

Accounts receivable $ 375,000 $ 300,000 $ __________ ___________ %
Inventory 780,000 600,000 ____________ ___________ %
Total assets 3,220,000 2,800,000 __________ __________ %
Answer:
75000,25%;
18000, 30%.
420000, 15%.
Explanation:
From the question above we are given the following parameters Accounts receivable for year 2017 = $ 375,000,
Inventory for the year 2017 = 780,000 and the Total assets for the year 2017 = 3,220,000.
Accounts receivable for year 2016 = $ 300,000, inventory for the year 2016 = 600,000 and the Total assets for the year 2016 = 2,800,000.
Therefore, we have the following simple arithmetic(which is subtraction between the variables in the two years) to determine the solution to the question:
(375,000 - 300,000) = 75,000 = 25%(increase).
(780,000 - 600,000) = 180,000 = 30%(Increase).
(3,220,000 - 2,800,00) = 420,000 = 15%(increase).
Answer:
25%30%15%Explanation:
Accounts receivables

December 31 2016 = $300000
difference = $75000 ( 25%) { increase}
Inventory
December 31 2017 = 780000
December 31 2016 = 600000
difference = 180000 ( 30% ) { increase}
Total assets
December 31 2017 = 3220000
December 31 2016 = 2800000
difference = 420000 ( 15% ) { increase }
The Brenmar Sales Company had a gross profit margin (gross profitsdivided bysales) of 26 percent and sales of $ 8.3 million last year. 78 percent of the firm's sales are on credit, and the remainder are cash sales. Brenmar's current assets equal $ 1.9 million, its current liabilities equal $ 298 comma 900, and it has $ 108 comma 800 in cash plus marketable securities. a. If Brenmar's accounts receivable equal $ 562 comma 300, what is its average collection period? b. If Brenmar reduces its average collection period to 15 days, what will be its new level of accounts receivable? c. Brenmar's inventory turnover ratio is 9.2 times. What is the level of Brenmar's inventories?
Answer:
a. 31.70 days
b. $266,054.79
c. $667,608.70
Explanation:
a. If Brenmar's accounts receivable equal $ 562 comma 300, what is its average collection period?
Credit sales = $8,300,000 * 78% = $6,474,000
Average collection period = (Accounts receivable / Credit sales) * 365 = ($562,300 / $6,474,000) * 365 = 31.70 days
b. If Brenmar reduces its average collection period to 15 days, what will be its new level of accounts receivable?
Average Collection Period=365*Account Receivables/Credit Sales
New Account Receivables =Average Collection Period * (Credit Sales / 365) = 15 * ($6,474,000 / 365) = $266,054.79
c. Brenmar's inventory turnover ratio is 9.2 times. What is the level of Brenmar's inventories?
Gross Profit = Sales * Gross Profit Margin = $8,300,000 * 26% = $2,158,000
Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross Profit = $8,300,000 - 2,158,000 = $6,142,000
Inventory = Cost of goods sold / Inventory Turnover Ratio = $6,142,000 / 9.2 = $667,608.70
Alden Trucking Company is replacing part of their fleet of trucks by purchasing them under a note agreement with Kenworthy on January 1, 2009. The note agreement will require $10 million in annual payments starting on December 31, 2009 and continuing for a total of five years (final payment December 31, 2013). Kenworthy will charge Alden Trucking Company the market interest rate of 10% compounded annually.
Required:
1. How much will Alden record as a debit to their equipment account and as acredit to their notes payable account on January 1, 2009?
2. How much ofthe first $10 million payment on December 31, 2009 isinterest?
3. What is theremaining obligation on January 1, 2010 after the first payment hasbeen made?
Answer:
1. $37,907,868
2. $3,790,787
3. $31,698,654
Explanation:
The cost of the trucks according to IAS 16, is the amount of cash or cash equivalent paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition.
Thus=, we need to find the Fair Value or Present Value of the Note as Follows:
Pmt = $10,000,000
P/yr = 1
i = 10%
N = 5
Pv = ?
Pv = 37,907,868
Therefore Alden will record $37,907,868 as a debit to their equipment account and as a credit to their notes payable
Interest on First Payment = $37,907,868×10%
= $3,790,787
Remaining Obligation = $37,907,868 - $6,209,213 (Capital Portion) - $3,790,787 (Interest Portion)
= $31,698,654
The manufacturing overhead budget at Cutchin Corporation is based on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 2,800 direct labor-hours will be required in September. The variable overhead rate is $7.00 per direct labor-hour. The company’s budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $43,120 per month, which includes depreciation of $3,640. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The September cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
$59,080
Explanation:
The calculation of September cash disbursements is shown below:-
September cash disbursement = Company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead - Depreciation + Variable manufacturing overhead
= $43,120 - $3,640 + $7.00 × 2,800
= $43,120 - $3,640 + $19,600
= $62,720 - $3,640
= $59,080
Therefore for computing the September cash disbursement we simply applied the above formula.
(Ignore income taxes in this problem) The management of Serpas Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $180,000, would last for 5 years, and would have no salvage value. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $46,000 per year. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 13% on all investment projects. The net present value of the proposed project is closest to:
Answer:
-$18,207
Explanation:
Net present value is the Net value all cash inflows and outflows in present value term. All the cash flows are discounted using a required rate of return.
Net Present Value = Initial Investment + Present value of reduced Labor and other costs
Net Present value = -$180,000 + $46,000( 1 - ( 1 + 13% )^-5 / 13% )
Net Present value = -$180,000 + 161,793
Net Present value = -$18,207

Your aunt is about to retire, and she wants to sell some of her stock and buy an annuity that will provide her with income of $53,000 per year for 30 years, beginning a year from today. The going rate on such annuities is 7.25%. How much would it cost her to buy such an annuity today
Answer:
Present Value= $641,494.12
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $53,000 per year
Number of years= 30 years
Interest rate= 7.25%
First, we need to calculate the final value of the annuity:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual flow
FV= {53,000*[(1.0725^30)-1]} / 0.0725
FV= $5,237,351.32
Now, we can determine the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 5,237,351.32/ (1.0725^30)
PV= $641,494.12
Suppose that you are the international treasurer of Apple with an extra U.S. $10 million to invest for 9 months. You are considering the purchase of U.S. T-bills that yield 1.50% annual rate. The spot exchange rate is $1.00 = ¥100, and the 9 month forward rate is $1.00 = ¥110. What must the interest rate in Japan be before you are willing to consider investing there for 9 months? A. 14.5515 B. <8.8975 C. >13.4983 D. 12.5050
Answer:
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%
Explanation:
As per Interest Rate Parity Theory
Spot Rate : 1$ = 100
Forward Rate : 1 $ = 110
r = 9/12
As per interest rate parity, forward rate = Spot rate(1+Interest rate Japan)/(1+Interest rate US)
Forward rate = Spot rate *(1+ iD)/(1+iF)
110 / 100 = (1 + Japan Interest Rate * 9 /12) / 1.01125
1.1 * 1.01125 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
1.112375 = 1 + Japan Interest Rate * 0.75
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 1.112375 - 1
Japan Interest Rate * 0.75 = 0.112375
Japan Interest Rate = 0.112375 / 0.75
Japan Interest Rate = 0.15%

According to noted economist Thomas Piketty:
a. the annual pay for top executives should include a small guaranteed salary and should include a very large bonus in years where the firm earns higher profits than competitors.
b. CEOs should not earn much more than 10-20 times the earnings of the company's average salary.
c. top executives are entitled to any level of pay they can negotiate with their board of directors.
d. all bonuses paid to CEOs should be tied to long-run increases in market share.
Answer:
b. CEOs should not earn much more than 10-20 times the earnings of the company's average salary.
Explanation:
Thomas Piketty was a French economist born on the 7th of May, 1971 in Clichy, France.
In 2013, Thomas Piketty published a book "Capital in the Twenty-first Century." The book focused on the wealth and income inequality from the 18th century in United States of America and Europe.
According to the notable economist Thomas Piketty, the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of an organization shouldn't earn much more than 10-20 times the earnings of the company's average salary.
He argues that this would help to spread wealth among the citizens (employees) rather than a minority of the larger population.
Thomas Piketty's argument was based on the formula that relates rate of return on capital (r) to economic growth (g).
Rate of return on capital (r) are dividends, profits, interests and rent from capital while economic growth (g) is measured by the nation's income.

A manufacturing company prepays its insurance coverage for a three-year period. The premium for the three years is $2,700 and is paid at the beginning of the first year. Eighty percent of the premium applies to manufacturing operations and 20% applies to selling and administrative activities. What amounts should be considered product and period costs respectively for the first full year of coverage?
Answer:
$720 and $180
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
Premium for 3 years = $2,700
So, premium for 1 year = $2,700 ÷ 3 = $900 per year
Manufacturing operation percentage = 80%
Selling and administrative operation percentage = 20%
So, Premium for manufacturing operation = $900 × 80% = $720
And Premium for selling and admin operation = $900 × 20% = $180
Bob, Kara, and Mark are partners in the BKM Partnership. Bob is a 40% partner and has a June 30 tax yearminus−end. Kara owns a 40% interest in the partnership and has a September 30 tax yearminus−end, and Mark owns the remaining 20% interest and has an October 31 tax yearminus−end. The partnership does not have a natural business year. What is the required tax yearminus−end for the partnership (if no Sec. 444 election is made)? A. September 30 B. October 31 C. December 31 D. June 30
Answer:
D. June 30
Explanation:
Since no Sec. 444 election is made, the required tax yearmius-end for the partnership will be the tax yearminus−end of a partner with at least 40% interest.
Since Bob is a 40% partner and has a June 30 tax yearminus−end, therefore, the required tax yearminus−end for the partnership is June 30.
The Widget Co. purchased all of its fixed assets three years ago for $4 million. These assets can be sold today for $2 million. The current balance sheet shows net fixed assets of $2,500,000, current liabilities of $1,375,000, and net working capital of $725,000. If all the current assets were liquidated today, the company would receive $1.9 million in cash. The book value of the total assets today is ________ and the market value of those assets is ________. $6,500,000; $3,900,000 $4,600,000; $3,125,000 $5,000,000; $3,125,000 $4,600,000; $3,900,000 $5,000,000; $3,900,000
Answer:
$4,600,000; $3,900,000
Explanation:
Book value of the asset are the recorded costs of the assets included any adjustments like depreciation or amortization. Market value is the fair value and Ne realizable value of the assets.
Total Assets = Fixed Assets + Current Assets
Total Assets = Fixed Assets + (Working capital + Current Liabilities)
Placing Value in above formula
Total Assets = $2,500,000 + ($725,000 + $1,375,000)
Total Assets = $4,600,000
Market Value = Fair value of Fixed assets + Current assets fair value
Market Value = $2,000,000 + $1,900,000 = $3,900,000
Your bagel shop uses both capital and labor in the production of bagels. In this production process capital and labor are substitutes. If you install a new oven and the marginal product of capital increases, you will:
a. reduce the number of workers you employ
b. increase the number of workers you employ
c. reduce the amount of capital you are using not make any changes since you are already maximizing profit
Answer:
The answer is option A) reduce the number of workers you employ
Explanation:
Installing a new oven is capital intensive. So, for a business person to incur an additional capital cost to aid the efficiency of production, something has to give.
In this case, where capital and labor are substitutes, installing a new oven will drastically reduce the workload thereby necessitating a reduction in the number of workers.
By implication, the cost of paying wages which is a recurrent expenditure will reduce. In the long run and if the oven is maintained, it will e a very cost effective option.
Installing a new oven also suggests a marginal increment in capital.
