Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
1. Underfinancing: One main reason that cause budget overrun and less than expected benefits is underfinancing. Allocation of an adequate amount of budget to project at the beginning will lead to a budget overrun or failure.
2. Unfeasible Cost Estimates: Estimation of cost is a vital process in a project and another common reason for budget overrun. When the cost is calculated by inexperienced or unqualified personnel, the project is going to face budget overruns.
3. Underestimating the Project Complexity: Big projects are usually at the risk of overrunning its budget as a result of bigger complications that may arise during its execution.
4. Lack of Resource Planning: When one fails to plan the resources that are available effectively, then this would lead to a budget overrun and less benefits. A common mistakes that cause overrun is failure to estimate the resources which would be utilized during the project.

Relative to the Sharpe ratio, the Sortino ratio will make a portfolio’s performance look more favorable if the portfolio has experienced: Group of answer choices fewer extreme negative returns relative to extreme positive returns. fewer extreme positive returns relative to extreme negative returns. an equal number of extreme positive and extreme negative returns. virtually no extreme negative or extreme positive returns.
Answer:
fewer extreme negative returns relative to extreme positive returns.
Explanation:
In simple words, The Sortino ratio relates to the variant of the Sharpe ratio which distinguishes negative variance against total combined variance by using the investment's confidence interval of unfavorable portfolio returns, named downside variance, rather than the total confidence interval of stock return.
The Sortino equation considers the return of a security or property and removes the default free percentage and then splits that quantity by the drawback variance of the relative asset.
KSB is considering a project that will require $39,000 in net working capital and $68,000 in fixed assets. The project is expected to produce annual sales of $78,500 with associated cash costs of $41,000. The project has a four-year life. The company uses straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the life of the project. Ignore bonus depreciation. The tax rate is 25 percent. What is the operating cash flow for this project
Answer:
$32,375
Explanation:
The computation of operating cash flow for this project is shown below:-
Annual depreciation = Cost of fixed assets ÷ Life in years
= $68,000 ÷ 4 years
= $17,000
Operating cash flow
Annual sales $78,500
less: Cash cost ($41,000)
less: Depreciation ($17,000)
Earnings before tax $20,500
less: Tax at 25% ($5,125)
Earnings after tax $15,375
Add: Depreciation $17,000
Operating cash flow
every year $32,375
Therefore the operating cash flow is $32,375
All employees at a factory are receiving a large bonus if there are no reported injuries for 6months. As a result, some employees are hiding their injuries so that they do not cause others to lose their bonus.
What are the reasons for the negative consequences of this bonus scheme? Modify the
scheme to solve the problem.
Answer:
In simple words, first of all the conditions given in the bonus structure are not at all justified as a labor might get injured due to an accident, one should believe that every individuals keeps full diligence during work to save herself or himself from injury.
Therefore, the company should change the bonus conditions overall like paying for the damages to the inured labor like fifty repent salary with leave in case severe injuries.
i. Discuss the rationale of organizing an industrial strike in resolving employee dispute with the
state, focusing on the detrimental effects strikes has on various stakeholders in an economy.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
Strike action, is a work stoppage, that is caused by mass refusal of employees to work and it usually takes place in response to the employee grievances.
Some of the reasons for strike include:
• Low wages: Employees engage in strik as a way to show their grievances to their employers that they're not well paid and want a pay rise.
• Poor communication with the organisation: Another reason for strikes is the lack of trust between employers and the trade unions. In cases whereby workers believe their employers aren't transparent with them, strike can take place.
• Employee debt: When employees are owed certain amount of money and the employer is not doing anything reasonable about paying, the workers may strike.
• Working conditions: Workers can engage in strike in order to seek for improvement in their working conditions. This may be probably because they need better equipments, medical facilities etc.
The detrimental effects that strikes has on various stakeholders in an economy are:
Effects on employers: Strike affects business and it is vital for employers to know their rights and keep up to date with the current labour laws and legislation. Strike leads to loss of revenue for the owner and if the strike continues.for a long time, it can badly affect the business.
Effects on employees: Striking employees who belong to a union are under the obligation to strike when the union wants. They can be at risk of losing their wages and benefits such as sick and holiday pay, medical aid insurance if the strike drags continues for an extended period of time.
Effect on the economy: The impact of strike will be felt by the economy in the immediate and long term future. Strike can harm a country’s investment and reputation internationally. The GDP growth will also be affected and consequences of higher wages in some sectors would lead to higher inflation.
Gambarini Corporation is a wholesaler that sells a single product. Management has provided the following cost data for two levels of monthly sales volume. The company sells the product for $197.80 per unit. Sales volume (units)............... 6,000 7,000 Cost of sales.......................... $ 486,600 $ 567,700 Selling and administrative costs $ 612,600 $ 624,400 The best estimate of the total monthly fixed cost is:
Answer:
$541,800
Explanation:
Total cost of 6,000 units = $486,600 + $612,600 = $1,099,200
Total cost of 7,000 units = $567,700 + $624,400 = $1,192,200
Change in total cost = $1,192,200 - $1,099,200 = $92,900
Change in unit = 7,000 - 6,000 = 1,000
Variable cost per unit = Change in total cost/Change in unit = $92,900 / 1000 = $92.90
Using information on either 7,000 units or 6,000 units to calculate the variable cost, we have:
Total monthly Fixed Cost = Total Cost - Variable Cost = $1,099,200 - ($92.90 * 6,000) = $541,800
Present value of bonds payable; premium Moss Co. issued $42,000,000 of five-year, 11% bonds, with interest payable semiannually, at a market (effective) interest rate of 9%. Determine the present value of the bonds payable using the present value tables in Exhibits 8 and 10. Round to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
$45,323,443.20
Explanation:
The present value of the bonds consist of the present value of the semiannual interest payment i.e$42,000,000*11%*6/12=$2,310,000.00
The semiannual payment would be multiplied by the annuity for ten periods (5 years *2) using 4.5% (11%/2) which is 7.91272
present value of semiannual interest payment=7.91272 *2,310,000.00=$ 18,278,383.20
Present value of face value in after 10 periods=0.64393 *$42,000,000=$ 27,045,060.00
Total present value=$ 27,045,060.00+$18,278,383.20=$45,323,443.20
The southern division of Pryto Corporation uses a part much like Part D in one of its products. The southern division can buy this part from an outside supplier for $78.25 per unit. However, the southern division could use Part D instead of this part that it purchases from outside suppliers. What's the most that the southern division would be willing to pay the western division for Product D
Answer: $78.25
Explanation:
The Southern Division is willing to pay $78.25 to an outside company for this part that it needs.
In the same vein, the maximum therefore that they would be willing to pay for the Western Division should be $78.25 as well because anything higher than that would constitute an Opportunity Cost loss.
They should go for the cheaper option and if buying from the Western Division exceeds the $78.25 then it is loss on their part. Western Division should charge the same or less.

Offenbach & Son has just made its sales forecasts and its marketing department estimates that the company will sell 232,200 units during the coming year. In the past, management has maintained inventories of finished goods at approximately one month’s sales. The inventory at the start of the budget period is 15,600 units. Sales occur evenly throughout the year. Required: Estimate the production level required for the coming year to meet these objectives.
Answer:
Production= 235,950 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 232,200 units during the coming year.
Desired ending inventory= one month's sales
Beginning inventory= 15,600 units.
First, we need to calculate the desired ending inventory:
Desired ending inventory= 232,200/12= 19,350
Now, we can determine the production for the year:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 232,200 + 19,350 - 15,600
Production= 235,950 units
Gross Corporation adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation on December 31, 2019. Its inventory at that date was $1,100,000 and the relevant price index was 100. Information regarding inventory for subsequent years is as follows: Inventory at Current Date Current Prices Price Index December 31, 2020 $1,284,000 1.07 December 31, 2021 1,450,000 1.25 December 31, 2022 1,625,000 1.30 What is the cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2020 under dollar-value LIFO?
Answer:
$1,281,200
Explanation:
Gross Corporation
Ending inventory
2019 1100000
2020 1284000/1.07 = 1200000
Ending Inventory(1100000+100000*1.07) = 1207000
2021 1450000/1.25 = 1160000
Ending inventory(1100000+60000*1.07) = 1164200
2022 1625000/1.30 = 1250000
Ending inventory(1164200+90000*1.30) = $1281200
Therefore the cost of the ending inventory at December 31, 2020 under dollar-value LIFO will be $1,281,200

John, a limited partner of Candy Apple, LP, is allocated $30,000 of ordinary business loss from the partnership. Before the loss allocation, his tax basis is $20,000 and his at-risk amount is $10,000. John also has ordinary business income of $20,000 from Sweet Pea, LP, as a general partner and ordinary business income of $5,000 from Red Tomato as a limited partner. How much of the $30,000 loss from Candy Apple can John deduct currently
Answer: $5,000
Explanation:
First of all John's tax basis in Candy Apple is $20,000 and the losses are $30,000. $10,000 of the loss will therefore be suspended as it is more than his tax basis.
Of the remaining $20,000, a further $10,000 will be deducted due to his at-risk amount being $10,000 which means he can only be charged that $10,000.
As John is a limited partner in both Candy Apple and Red Tomato, this means that these are Passive incomes or losses for him and he can use then to offset one another. He will therefore use the $5,000 gained from Red Tomato to offset some of the losses from Candy Apple.
This leaves him with $5,000.
Zanny Moldings has the following estimated costs for the upcoming year:
Direct materials used $25,800
Direct labor costs $62,600
Salary of factory supervisor $37,600
Advertising expense $33,800
Heating and lighting costs for factory $22,000
Depreciation on factory equipment $5600
Sales commissions $8100
The company estimates that 2100 direct labor hours will be worked in the upcoming year, while 2700 machine hours will be used during the year. The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour is closest to:____________
A) $72.
B) $51.
C) $29.
D) $31.
Answer:
D) $31.
Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ estimated direct labor hours
where,
Estimated manufacturing overhead is
= Salary of factory supervisor + Heating and lighting costs for factory + Depreciation on factory equipment
= $37,600 + $22,000 + $5,600
= $65,200
And, the direct labor hours is 2,100
So, the predetermined overhead rate is
= $65,200 ÷ 2,100
= $31
Oklahoma enacts a law requiring all businesses in the state to donate 10 percent of their profits to Protestant churches that provide services to indigent persons. Price-Lo Mart files a law suit to block the enforcement of the law. The court will probably decide that this law violates: a. the Free Exercise clause. b. the Supremacy clause. c. the Equal Protection clause. d. the Establishment clause.
Answer: d. the Establishment clause.
Explanation:
The Establishment Clause was put in place as a limitation by the United States Congress to prevent excesses or stop it from passing legislation forcing an establishment, religion, which broadly made it illegal for the government to promote theocracy or promote a specific religion with taxes. As this is the case with the state asking business to donate 10% of their profit to Protestant.
Answer:
The establishment clause.
Explanation:
Establishment clause, also called establishment-of-religion clause, clause in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbidding Congress from establishing a state religion. It prevents the passage of any law that gives preference to or forces belief in any one religion. It is paired with a clause that prohibits limiting the free expression of religion.
As the citizenry became more diverse, however, challenges arose to existing laws and practices, and eventually, the Supreme Court was called upon to determine the meaning of the establishment clause.
Though not explicitly stated in the First Amendment, the clause is often interpreted to mean that the Constitution requires the separation of church and state.
A car dealership promotes cars by donating a percentage of each sale to local charities. A beverage company gives free branded towels to the first 7,000 attendees at a football game.
A. differentiated by perception
B. differentiated by service
C. differentiated by brand name/advertising
D. differentiated by quality/design
E. differentiated by location
Answer:
The correct option is A) differentiated by perception
Explanation:
Differentiation communicates how a particular business is creating more value than her competitors which justifies charging higher rate for products and services.
One way to successfully create differentiation is by perception. the way customers see and identify with your brand is directly proportional to a strong value proposition, distinct features, quality service, strong brand identity and corporate social responsibility.
The car dealership by donating a percentage of each sales is seen as a responsive organization that identifies with the needs of the community.
The beverage company by giving towels to attendees in a football game met a need and sold their brand identity at the same time. they will be perceived as a superior beverage company that genuinely cares and identifies with people's area of interest.
Suppose you are considering the purchase of an apartment building that has 12 units that can be rented out at $1,050 per month. You have estimated operating expenses and expected vacancy and collection losses for the first year to be $35,700 and $30,240, respectively. You also have estimated that you will be able to generate an additional $3,840 in the first year from garage rentals on the property. If the expected purchase price of the property is $1,100,000 and you are planning on making a 10% down payment, calculate the debt yield ratio.
Answer:
The debit yield ratio is 9%
Explanation:
Rent = 12 units × 12 months × $1,050 = $151,200
Net Operating Income = Rent- Operating expenses - Expected vacancy and collection losses + Garage rent
= $151,200 - $35,700 - $30,240 + $3,840
= $89,100
Debt amount = Price × (1 - Down payment)
= $1,100,000 × (1 - 0.1)
= $990,000
Debt yield ratio = [tex]\frac{Net Operating Income}{Debt}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{89,100}{990,000}[/tex]
= 9%
Garcia's Garage desires to create some colorful charts and graphs to illustrate how reliably its mechanics "get under the hood and fix the problem." The historic average for the proportion of customers that return for the same repair within the 30-day warranty period is 0.09.Each month, Garcia tracks 100customers to see whether they return for warranty repairs. The results are plotted as a proportion to report progress toward the goal. If the control limits are to be set at twostandard deviations on either side of the goal, determine the control limits for this chart. In March, 5of the 100customers in the sample group returned for warranty repairs. Is the repair process in control?
Answer:
the given question historic average is given as 0.09 for 100 customers.
Therefore,
P = 0.09 and n = 100
The control liimits are to be set two standard deviation around the mean.
Standard deviation =
\sigma = \sqrt{p(1-p)/n)}
Therefore substitutin g the value in the above formula:
\sigma = \sqrt{0.09(1-0.09)/100)}
After soving we get result as:
\sigma = 0.0286
Upper Control Limit = 0.09 + 2 * \sigma = 0.09 + (2 * 0.0286) = 0.1472
Lower Control Liimit = = 0.09- 2 * \sigma = 0.09 - (2 * 0.286) = -0.0328
For March, 5 out of 100 customers returned for warranty repairs, therefore,
p for March = 5/100 = 0.05
The process doses not fall under control limits, so it is out of control for March.
EHW Office Supplies, Inc. uses the perpetual inventory system. On September 4, 2019,EHW sold merchandise inventory on account at a price of $50,000 with payment terms of 1/10, n/30. The merchandise cost EHW $40,000. On September 12, 2019, the customer pays the proper amount due for the merchandise based on the credit terms. How much will be credited to Accounts Receivable when recording the collection
Answer:
$50,000
Explanation:
The cash payment was made within the discount period of 10 days,hence the amount received in respect of the sales on account is face value minus discount of 1%.
When sales was made EHW would have debited accounts receivable with $50,000 and credited same to sale revenue.
Cash received=$50,000*(1-1%)=$49,500
discount =$50,000-$49,500=$500
The appropriate entries for cash collection:
Dr cash $49,500
Dr discount allowed $500
Cr accounts receivable $50,000
Grab Manufacturing Co. purchased a 10-ton draw press at a cost of $183,000 with terms of 4/15, n/45. Payment was made within the discount period. Shipping costs were $4,300, which included $270 for insurance in transit. Installation costs totaled $12,900, which included $3,700 for taking out a section of a wall and rebuilding it because the press was too large for the doorway. The capitalized cost of the 10-ton draw press is: Multiple Choice $192,880. $190,880. $196,380. $197,880.
Answer:
$192,880
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Cost of 10-ton draw press is $183,000 and if the cost paid before 15 days, there will be a 4% discount.
Discount Value is
= Cost of Draw Press × Discount Rate
= $183,000 × 4%
= $7,320
Total Capitalized Amount is
= (Total Cost of Draw Press - Discount Value) + Shipping Cost + Installation Cost
= ($183,000 - $7,320) + $4,300 + $12,900
= $175,680 + $4,300 + $12,900
= $192,880
According to the analysis, the capitalized cost of the 10-ton draw press is $192,880.
Because any cost which incurred for using an asset should be capitalized.

The largest national herbal supplement store is running a sale on its excess supply of Vitamin C supplements. With this new price change what do you think will happen to the Vitamin C supplement market? a. There will be a shift if the demand curve as demand increases. b. There will be an increase only in the quantity demanded. c. There will be a decrease in the quantity demanded. d. There will be a shift in the supply curve as supply increases.
Answer:
b. There will be an increase only in the quantity demanded.
Explanation:
The law of demand states that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
So if there's a sale, vitamin c would become cheaper and the quantity demanded would increase. This would lead to a movement along the demand curve and not a shift.

A company produces a single product. Last year, fixed manufacturing overhead was $30,000, variable production costs were $48,000, fixed selling and administration costs were $20,000, and variable selling administrative expenses were $9,600. There was no beginning inventory. During the year, 3,000 units were produced and 2,400 units were sold at a price of $40 per unit. Under variable costing, net operating income would be
Answer:
Net operating income= (2,000)
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
fixed manufacturing overhead was $30,000
variable production costs were $48,000
fixed selling and administration costs were $20,000
variable selling administrative expenses were $9,600.
During the year, 3,000 units were produced and 2,400 units were sold for $40 per unit.
First, we need to calculate the unitary product variable cost:
Unitary product cost= 48,000/3,000= $16
Income statement:
Sales= 2,400*40= 96,000
Total variable cost= (2,400*16) + 9,600= (48,000)
Contribution margin= 48,000
fixed manufacturing overhead= (30,000)
fixed selling and administration costs were= (20,000)
Net operating income= (2,000)

Flexible Actual Variance
Costs: 5,300 units 5,300 units 0
Direct Materials $42,400 $49,900 $7,500 U
Direct Labor $ 37,100 $39,200 $2,100 U
Total Variable costs $79,500 $89,100 $9,600 U
Explanation:
Using the good output and a flexible budget, the static budget was not achieved favorably as depicted.
A flexible budget varies the budgeted units to agree with the volume of activity. This produces a different result from the static budget, which does not vary the budgeted units according to the volume of activity.
A flexible budget is preferable as it reflects the correct performance given the activity level or volume of production or sales.

Construct operating characteristic curves for acceptance criteria of , , and (to 4 decimals). b. If is and , what are the producer's and consumer's risks for each sampling plan in part (a) (to 4 decimals)? c At Producer's Risk At Consumer's Risk
Answer:
The curve and calculation are attached below
One end item A requires three component parts: B, C, and D. The bill of material indicates that for each completed A, 3 units of B, 2 units of C, and 1 unit of D are required. Current inventory for the four items is as follows: There are 18 As, 43 Bs, 50 Cs and 35 Ds in stock. If the lead time for all items is one week and there are no scheduled receipts for any item, how many units of product A can be delivered to customers at the start of next week (week 2)
Answer:
Presently there will be 18 A’s, in accumulation there will be 43 B’s, this can create 43 ÷ 3 = 14.3 A’s.
Moreover the 50 C’s might create 50 ÷ 2 = 25 A’s.
Thus 35 D’s might create 35 A’s.
Now B is a restriction.
Consequently a determined of 14.3 A’s might be prepared with the existing stocks in hand.
Therefore the entire A’s that might be distributed at the beginning of following week is 18 + 14.3 = 32 .3
