Answer:
b. $7.15
Explanation:
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = [($180,000*60%) + ($70,000*50%)] / 20,000
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = ($108,000 + $35,000) / 20,000
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = $143,000 / 20,000
Cost of wages & salaries per bouquet = $7.15
So, the cost of wages and salaries and other overhead that would be charged to each bouquet made will be $7.15.

Dr. Insurance Expense-Building $5,170
Cr. Prepaid Insurance-Building $5,170
Dr. Insurance Expense-Motor vehicle $6,816
Cr. Prepaid Insurance-Motor vehicle $6,816
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the Amount of insurance expense accrued in the year for each insurance
Policy B4564
Insurance expense accrued = Total Insurance amount x Time accrued in the year / Term of Policy
Insurance expense accrued = $15,510 x 1 year / 3 years
Insurance expense accrued = $5,170
Policy A2958
Insurance expense accrued = Total Insurance amount x Time accrued in the year / Term of Policy
Insurance expense accrued = $10,224 x 12 months / 18 months
Insurance expense accrued = $6,816
The Richmond Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The company has only a single processing department. The company's ending work in process inventory on August 31 consisted of 18,600 units. The units in the ending work in process inventory were 100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor and overhead. If the cost per equivalent unit for August was $2.90 for materials and $4.40 for labor and overhead, the total cost assigned to the ending work in process inventory was: Multiple Choice $103,044 $81,468 $135,780 $86,676
Answer:
A. $103,044
Explanation:
Ending work in progress inventory = 18,600 units
Cost of equivalent unit for material = $2.90 per unit
Ending work in progress inventory i= 100% complete for material
Total cost of inventory for material = 18,600 units * $2.90 per unit
Total cost of inventory for material = $53,940
Cost of equivalent unit for labor = $4.40
Ending work in progress = 60% complete for labor
Cost of ending work in progress = $4.40 * 60% * 18,600
Cost of ending work in progress = $49,104
Total cost of ending work in progress inventory = $53,940 + $49,104
Total cost of ending work in progress inventory = $103,044
Trevor is saving for a down payment to buy a house. The account earns 11.2% interest compounded monthly, and he wants to have $14,000 in 7 years. What must his principal be
Answer:
the principal amount is $6,415.35
Explanation:
The computation of the principal amount is given below:
Amount = Principal × (1 + rate of interest)^time period
$14,000 = Principal × (1 + 11.2% ÷ 12)^7× 12
$14,000 = Principal × (1.00933)^84
So, the principal is
= $14,000 ÷ 2.18227
= $6,415.35
hence, the principal amount is $6,415.35
What is you view of international initiatives to criminalize foreign bribery? Explain your answer and please conduct research to support your findings, citing at least one resource in APA format.
Answer:
Bribery is act of paying someone incentive in the form of money to get an undue favor.
Explanation:
Bribery is a global issues. People use this unfair mean to achieve what they want. Bribery is illegal in almost all countries of the world. Many countries have issued strict laws against bribery to stop it. Foreign corrupt practicing act of 1977 issued by United States to make bribery unlawful and minimize this crime in the country. Many businesses offer handsome amount as bribery to many countries government to get unfair advantage in the foreign country which completely creases the domestic businesses as competition arises in the home country.
Investors require an after-tax rate of return of 10% on their stock investments. Assume that the tax rate on dividends is 30% while capital gains escape taxation. A firm will pay a $2 per share dividend 1 year from now, after which the firm's stock is expected to sell at a price of $30.
Required:
a. Find the current price of the stock.
b. Find the expected before-tax rate of return for a 1-year holding period.
c. Now suppose that the dividend will be $3 per share. If the expected after-tax rate of return is still 10%, and investors still expect the stock to sell at $20 in 1 year, at what price must the stock now sell?
d. What is the before-tax of return? Why is it now higher than in part (b)?
Answer:
a. $28.5
b. 12.28%
c. $29.18
d. 13.09%
Explanation:
a. let current price = p
p*1.10 = 2(1-0.3)+30
= 1.4+30/1.10
= 31.4/1.10
= 28.5
the current price of the stock is approximately 28.5 dollars
b. (30+2 /28.5)-1
= 32/28.5 - 1
= 0.1228
= 12.28%
expected before tax rate is 12.28%
c. 3(1-0.3)+30 / 1.10
= 3*0.7+30/1.10
= $29.18
d. before tax rate of return
= (3$ + 30-29.18)/29.18
= 0.1309
= 13.09%
it is now higher here given that given that a greater dividend causes more tax burden.
In the first month of operations, the total of the debit entries to the cash account amounted to $900 and the total of the credit entries to the cash account amounted to $600. The cash account has a(n)
Answer:
$300 debit balance
Explanation:
In business debit entries mean that the money is being added to the account, while credit entries means that the money is owed and is therefore being deducted from the account. Therefore, in this scenario the cash account has a $300 debit balance. This is because the credit entries are being subtracted from the debit entries (assuming that the account had a $0 initial balance). If we do the math we are left with $300 of debit.
$900 - $600 = $300
A risky fund has an expected return of 17% and standard deviation of 25%. The risk-free rate is 9%. The expected return of the optimal complete portfolio is 12%. The Sharpe ratio of the optimal complete portfolio is:
Answer:
the Sharpe ratio of the optimal complete portfolio is 0.32
Explanation:
The computation of the sharpe ratio is shown below:
= (Return of portfolio - risk free asset) ÷ Standard deviation
= (17% - 9%) ÷ 25%
= 8% ÷ 25%
= 0.32
Hence, the Sharpe ratio of the optimal complete portfolio is 0.32
We simply applied the above formula
Charles Corporation produces and sells a single product. Data concerning that product appear below:
Per Unit Percent of Sales
Selling Price $190 100%
Variable Expenses 38 20%
Contribution Margin 152 80%
Fixed expenses are $87,000 per month. The company is currently selling 1,000 units per month. Management is considering using a new component that would increase the unit variable cost by $28. Since the new component would increase the features of the company's product, the marketing manager predicts that monthly sales would increase by 500 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?
When computing equivalent units of production, the method that combines partially completed units in beginning inventory with current-period production is the
Answer: the weighted average method
Explanation:
When computing the equivalent units of production, the weighted average method can be used in the combination of partially completed units in the beginning inventory with the current-period production.
In Weighted Average Cost method, a weighted average is used in the determination of the amount which gives into the inventory and the cost of goods sold.
A justification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. Suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. However, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in Ohio. In particular, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of non-defective items produced per worker (output).
Required:
a. Carefully state the ceteris paribus thought experiment underlying this policy question.
b. Does it seem likely that a firm’s decision to train its workers will be independent ofworker characteristics? What are some of those measurable and unmeasurable workercharacteristics?
c. Name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity.
d. If you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you haveconvincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? Explain.
Solution :
a). There is a way to state the question :
If there are two firms, firm A and firm B. Both the forms are same in all the respects but differ in only one thing, that firm A provides job training 1 hour per worker more than the number of hours of training of firm B, by how much the output of firm A would differ than the output from firm B?
b). The manufacturing firms that are located in Ohio will provide the job training based on the characteristics of workers. Some of the determining factors includes years of schooling, experience in a particular job, etc. The firms can even consider the worker's age, race or gender. The training will be provided to the less efficient workers based on their ability.
c). The amount of the capital as well as the technology that is available to the workers would affect the output of the firm. Thus the firms having the same kind of employees would have different outputs when the firms used different technology or different amount of capital.
d). No, unless the training is randomly assigned. The factors are listed above which can contribute to the finding of a positive correlation between the output and the training even when the job training does not improve the productivity of the worker.
1) Please give an example of a market that comes close to being considered perfectly competitive.2) What does it mean when firms in a perfectly competitive market earn $0 in economic profits?
Answer:
the agricultural market e.g market for oranges
2. A firm earns zero economic profit when accounting profit equals implicit cost.
it means that they only earn accounting profit
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
In an agricultural market e.g. market for oranges, the goods are identical and the prices are the same.
A firm earns economic profit when accounting profit equals implicit cost. So, it only earns accounting profit
Knowledge Check 01 Which of the following is a correct statement regarding control of over-the-counter cash receipts: multiple choiceThe clerk with access to cash should also have access to the cash account in the general ledger.The cashier should have access to the accounting records.The supervisor should compare the register transactions with the cash receipts report to make sure that both are correct.The clerk and the cashier should work closely together when handling the cash and recording the amount in the accounting records.
Answer: The supervisor should compare the register transactions with the cash receipts report to make sure that both are correct.
Explanation:
The cash register shows the actual amount of money that is collected by the business during the day and the cash receipts journal records the cash collected.
There is therefore a need to ensure that these two tally up as a control method. The supervisors should therefore check for this and if they find that these two are not the same, it means that there is an error somewhere that needs to be rectified.

Copy equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $56,000 that has an estimated residual value of $8,000 and an estimated useful life of 5 years. It is estimated that the machine has an estimated 1,000,000 copies. This year 240,000 copies were made. Determine the (a) depreciable cost, (b) depreciation rate, and (c) the units-of-production depreciation for the year.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
The depreciable cost is the result of deducting from the purchase price the salvage value:
Depreciable cost= 56,000 - 8,000
Depreciable cost= $48,000
The depreciable rate is the depreciation that the asset suffers in one year express as a percentage:
Depreciation rate= 1/5 = 0.2 or 20% per year
Finally, the units of production depreciation for the first year:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in copies]*number of copies
Annual depreciation= (48,000/1,000,000)*240,000
Annual depreciation= 0.048*240,000
Annual depreciation= $11,520
The 2018 income statement for John's Gym shoes that depreciation expense is $20 million, EBIT is $80 million, and taxes are $24 million. At the end of the year, the balance of gross fixed assets was $102 million. The increase in net operating working capital during the year was $18 million. John's free cash flow for the year was $41 million. What was the beginning of year balance for gross fixed assets
Answer:
$85 million
Explanation:
Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation
Operating cash flow = $80 million - $24 million + $20 million
Operating cash flow = $76 million
Free cash flow = Operating cash flow - Investment in operating capital
$41 million = $76 million - Investment in operating capital
Investment in operating capital = $76 million - $41 million
Investment in operating capital = $35 million
Investment in operating capital = Change in Gross fixed assets + Change in Net operating working capital
$35 million = ($102 million - Beginning of year gross fixed assets) + $18 million
Beginning of year gross fixed assets = $102 million - $35 million + $18 million
Beginning of year gross fixed assets = $85 million
If a company is operating in a developing or less-developed country, which type of challenge can arise that would affect the shipping and movement of physical goods in a country
Answer: b. an infrastructure challenge
Explanation:
Developing countries are not as infrautructurally advanced as developed countries. They do not always have good roads, airports in many areas or adequate railway networks.
When goods are being shipped therefore, these pose a problem to the company doing the shipping as they would have to surmount these challenges in order to get their products from point A to be. For instance, as a result of bad roads, more money would have to be spent maintaining trucks that get damaged.
Assume the following information from a schedule of cost of goods manufactured:
Beginning work in process inventory 30,000
Direct materials used in production 50,000
Direct labor 60,000
Total manufacturing costs to account for 219,000
Ending work in process inventory 72,000
What is the manufacturing overhead applied to work in process?
A. $15,800
B. $144,500
C. $150.000
D. $79,000
Answer:
The manufacturing overhead applied to work in process is:
D. $79,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning work in process inventory 30,000
Direct materials used in production 50,000
Direct labor 60,000
Total manufacturing costs to account for 219,000
Manufacturing overhead applied to WIP 79,000 (219,000 - 140,000)
Ending work in process inventory 72,000
b) The manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process is the difference between the total manufacturing costs to account for and the costs of beginning work in process, direct materials, and direct labor for the period. When the ending work in process is deducted from the total manufacturing costs, the resulting figure represents the cost of goods transferred to finished goods inventory.

The costs of bringing a corporation into existence, including legal fees and promoter fees, are called:
Answer:
organization expenses.
Explanation:
A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.
This ultimately implies that, a corporation is a corporate organization that owns or controls its business in two or more countries.
Some examples of multinational firms are Ap-ple, Volkswagen, G-oogle, Shoprite, Nestlé, Accenture, Shell BP, Chevron etc.
The costs of bringing a corporation into existence, including legal fees and promoter fees, are called organization expenses.
A jogger found a stray dog in the park. She took the dog home with her and placed an ad in the paper to try to find the dog's owner. Soon thereafter, the owner of the dog contacted the jogger. He came to the jogger's home and identified the dog as his. He offered to pay the jogger a $200 reward at the end of the week. The jogger thanked the dog owner but turned down the reward. At the end of the week, however, the jogger changed her mind, so she called the dog owner and told him that she would like the reward after all. He refused to pay her, and she sues him for breach of contract. What will the jogger recover?
Answer:
The jogger will recover nothing.
Explanation:
The jogger in the context will gain nothing as her [tex]\text{finding the lost dog occurred prior to the owner's promise}[/tex] for the payment of an amount $200.
The enforceable contract is supported by consideration. It consists of bargained for the exchange between the parties. If somethings has already [tex]\text{been given or performed before the promise is made}[/tex], then it will not satisfy the bargain requirement as it will not give in exchange for the promise.
In this case, in the exchange it is not given for the promise, so the jogger was not under any legal obligation for returning the lost dog to its rightful owner.
Thus, the jogger incurred a detriment. The jogger was not been inducted to as to act by the owner of the dog to pay the promised amount of $200.
Suppose there are three factories in Macroland and the following occurred in 2019: Metal, plastic and a car factory. Metal factory produces $200, plastic factory produces $500, and car factory produces $700, of its respective products. The metal factory sells all of its output to the car factory. The plastic factory sells $80 worth of plastic to the car factory, $20 to the government, and the rest to consumers. The Car factory exports $50 of its cars and sells the rest to consumers.
Required:
What is the GDP of Macroland in 2019?
Answer:
$1120
Explanation:
The computation of the GDP is shown below:
Y = C + I + G + X
Here Y denotes the GDP
C denotes the consumption = $500 - $80 - $20 = $400 and 700 - 50 = $650
I denotes the investment = $
G denotes the government purchase = $20
X denotes the net exports = $50
So,
Y = $400 + $650 + 0 + $20 + $50
= $1120

NetonBe makes sweaters, which traditionally involved the following steps: dyeing (i.e., into six different colors), knitting of the dyed fabric into three sizes each (small, medium, and large) and then distributing to the stores. As such, there were 18 different sweater color & size combinations in the end, each with a demand that is normally distributed with a mean of 1,000 and a standard deviation of 100. NetonBe has just developed a new system that allows them to knit a generic color sweater first, and then dyeing this generic sweater. As such, they only need to hold safety inventory for the three sizes, each with an average demand of 6,000. What would be the standard deviation in demand for each of these three generic sweaters?
a) Approximately 600
b) Approximately 300
c) Approximately 245
d) Approximately 60
Answer:
NetonBe
The standard deviation in demand for each of these three generic sweaters is:
a) Approximately 600
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Different sweater color & size combinations in the end = 18
Normally distributed demand mean of size = 1,000
Total demand of sizes = 18,000
Standard deviation of each size = 100
Standard deviation = 10% of mean (100/1,000 * 100)
Standard deviation for the total sizes = 1,800 (18,000 * 10%)
Average demand of new three sizes = 6,000
Total demand for the three new sizes = 18,000 (6,000 * 3)
Therefore, the standard deviation in demand for each of these three generic sweaters will be = 600 (6,000 * 10%)

SafeRide, Inc. produces air bag systems that it sells to North American automobile manufacturers. Although the company has a capacity of 300,000 units per year, it is currently producing at an annual rate of 180,000 units. SafeRide, Inc. has received an order from a German manufacturer to purchase 60,000 units at $9.00 each. Budgeted costs for 180,000 and 240,000 units are as follows: 180,000 Units 240,000 UnitsManufacturing costs Direct materials $450,000 $600,000Direct labor 315,000 420,000Factory overhead 1,215,000 1,260,000Total 1,980,000 2,280,000Selling and administrative 765,000 780,000Total $2,745,000 $3,060,000Costs per unit Manufacturing $11.00 $9.50Selling and administrative 4.25 3.25Total $15.25 $12.75Sales to North American manufacturers are priced at $20 per unit, but the sales manager believes the company should aggressively seek the German business even if it results in a loss of $3.75 per unit. She believes obtaining this order would open up several new markets for the company's product. The general manager commented that the company cannot tighten its belt to absorb the $225,000 loss ($3.75 × 60,000) it would incur if the order is accepted.(a) Determine the finanicial implications of accepting the order.(b) How would your analysis differ if the company were operating at capacity? Determine the advantage or disadvantage of accepting the order under full-capacity circumstances.
Answer:
SafeRide, Inc.
a. The financial implications of accepting the order are that total production cost will increase by $315,000 with a corresponding increase in sales revenue of $540,000, and an increase in net income by $225,000.
b. Under full capacity, the total production cost will increase by $1,485,000 for adding additional facilities while the sales revenue would increase by $540,000, resulting to a loss of $945,000.
c. Under full-capacity circumstances, there is a financing disadvantage of accepting the order because the order will entail additional capacity and facilities, resulting to a loss of $945,000.
Explanation:
Annual production capacity = 300,000 units
Current production capacity = 180,000 units
Special order from a German manufacturer = 60,000 units
Special order price per unit = $9.00
Budgeted Costs For 180,000 Units 240,000 Units Difference 60,000

Total $315,000
Total cost per unit = $5.25 ($315,000/60,000)
Total manufacturing cost per unit = $5 ($300,000/60,000)
Increase in net income from accepting the order = $225,000 ($9.00 - $5.25) * 60,000

Bob agreed to tutor Lola in Spanish for two (2) hours and Lola agreed to pay $25.00 per hour for the tutoring services. Bob tutored Lola and she paid Bob $50.00. This means that the parties have been _____.
Answer: discharged by performance
Explanation:
When parties to a contract are discharged from their duties as per the contract, it means that they are no longer party to the agreement. When this is done by performance, it means that the discharge was done because both parties have fulfilled the demands of the contract.
Bob agreed to tutor Lola for two hours and Lola agreed to pay Bob $50 for that. Bob then tutored her for the two hours and was paid the amount. The parties have therefore fulfilled their obligations to each other and so the contract has been satisfied.

g The price elasticity of gasoline demand in the United States is 0.4 If the price of gasoline rises by 8 what is the expected change in the quantity of gasoline demanded in the United States Group of answer choices 5 20.0 3.2 3.2 5
Answer: 3.2
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand shows the change in quantity demanded of a good in response to a change in its price.
Price elasticity of demand = Change in quantity demand / Change in price
0.4 = Change in quantity demanded / 8
Change in quantity demanded = 0.4 * 8
= 3.2
Two alternate plans are available for increasing the capacity of existing water transmission lines between an unlimited source and a reservoir. The unlimited source is at a higher elevation then the reservoir. Plan A calls for the construction of a parallel pipeline and flow by gravity. Plan B specifies construction of a booster pumping station. Estimated cost for the two plans are as follows: Hint: Use Present Worth- (do not guess show all your work) i=10%
Plan A : Cost $700,000, Life 40 Years, Annual Operation and Repair $1,000/Year
Plan B: Cost $200,000, Life 40 Years Structure and 20 years equipment, Equipment replacement at the end of 20 years $75,000, Annual Operation and Repairs 52,000/year
a. Plan A $709,779.00
b. Plan A $740,000
c. Plan B $710,165.50
d. Plan B $326,000
Answer:
plan a
Explanation:
present worth of plan A= 700000+1000(p/a,10%,40)
= 700000+1000*9.779
= 700000+9779
= 709779 dollars
present worth of plan b = 200000+75000(p/f,10%,20)+52000/year(p/a,10%,40)
= 200000+75000*0.1486+52000*9.779
= 719653 dollars.
we compare the pw of both a and b, from the solutions above, the present worth of plan a is smaller than that of plan b, so the best option is plan a, $709,779.00
