Explanation:
Cost benefit analysis is used in decision making. This involves weighting the cost of doing something to the benefit derived from it which can be monetary or in this case non-monetary.
The cost benefit analysis is subjective and in our case it differs from lower-income people to that of higher - income people. A rich town may value a human life more highly in its cost-benefit analysis and would be willing to pay more than lower-income people to avoid the risk of death.
Hulston Appliances Co. wants to introduce a new digital display, laser driven iron to the market. The estimated unit sales price is $44.00. The required investment is $88,000. Unit sales are expected to be 8,800 and the minimum required rate of return on all investments is 10.00%. Compute the target cost per iron.
Answer:
Target cost per unit = $43 per unit
Explanation:
Target cost is the cost at which a product must be produced and sold to achieve a desired profit margin
Target cost =(Sales revenue - (ROI × capital) )/ No of units
Target cost =( (44 × 8,800) - (10%× $88,000 ) )/ 8,800 guns
Target cost per unit = (387200 - 8800 ) / 8,800 units= $43 per unit
Target cost per unit = $43 per unit
Liability policies, such as personal liability, professional malpractice, or business liability insurance, do NOT protect the insured against a. a personal injury on the insured's property, such as the mail carrier who slips and falls on the owner's sidewalk. b. intentional harm caused by the insured. c. someone injured by the insured away from home or business. d. claims for property damaged by the insured.
Answer:
b. intentional harm caused by the insured.
Explanation:
Liability insurance is a means to provide the insured party with some protection against claims resulting from injuries and damage to people or property, covering both legal costs and any payouts for which the insured party would be responsible if found legally liable.
Note that there are two types of liability coverage: bodily injury and property damage. Most states in the US require liability coverages, subject to limits, which is the maximum amount the insurer will pay when the incident occurs. For example, a car accident can be expensive. This is why there is a limit of compensation which an insurer can offer.
A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $300,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment costs $250,000, and $100,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $750,000 per year for 10 years, at which time the land can be sold for $400,000, the building for $350,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items are estimated to total $475,000. If the company requires a MARR of 15% per year on projects of comparable risk, determine if it should invest in the new product line. Use the AW method. (Sullivan, 20180327, p. 234) Sullivan, W.

Answer:
$327,909.14
Explanation:
Calculation to determine if it should invest in the new product line.
First step
The Investment cost will be:
Land costs $300,000
Building costs $600,000
Equipment costs $250,000
Additional working capital $100,000
=$1,250,000
Annual revenue $750,000
Annual expenses$475,000
Market value:
$400,000 +$350,000 + $50,000 = $80,0000
N: 10 year
MARR: 15% per year
Using PW method
-$1250000 + ($750,000 – $475,000) (P/A, 15%, 10) +$ 80000(P/F, 15%, 10)
-$1250000-$275,000((1+15)^¹⁰−1/15(1+15)^¹⁰+$3000
Hence,
=-$1,250,000 – $275,000(5.0188) + $3000(0.2472)
= $327,909.14

Explanation:
Cheek
900 x 2% = 18
net of discount 900 - 18 = 882
Boden:
6,000 x 1% = 60
Net of discount 6,000 - 60 = 5,940
Leight:
2,200 - 2,000 = 2,000 balance due
2,000 x 2% = 40
net of discount 1,960
Art Co:
1,200 - 200 = 1,000 balance due
1,000 x 2% = 20 discount
net = 1,000 - 20 = 980
Review the "Types of Distribution Channels" study material. Explain why the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy. Provide an example of a well-known company's distribution channels and defend their choices. In replies to peers, agree or disagree with their assessment and justify your response.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question does not provide a specific text, we can say that the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy because that is how companies deliver their products to consumers. This is of key importance due to the fact that there are numerous competitors selling the same or similar products so the company has to be precise and effective in delivering the product to match the client's expectations.
One good example of a successful company would be Underarmour. This Maryland company sells its products through direct distribution, uses intermediaries and brokers, has open many outlets where the company sells direct to the consumer, and also sells products through e-commerce portals. You can find Underarmour apparel in big chain stores, fashion stores, the internet, and sports stores.
On November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 12% note payable, with a face value of $15,300. What is the adjusting entry for the accrued interest at December 31 on the note
Answer:
DebitbAccrued Interest on Note receivable -$311.1
Credit Interest Income -$311.1
Explanation:
Preparation of the adjusting entry for the accrued interest at December 31 on the note for Alan Company
The Interest earned till 31 December will be :
(30+31 days)=61 days
=(15,300×12%×61days)÷360 days
=$111,996÷360 days
=$311.1
The Adjusting Entry for Alan Company will therefore be:
Debit Accrued Interest on Note receivable -$311.1
Credit Interest Income -$311.1
The adjusting entry for the accrued interest on December 31 on the note
Debit - Accrued Interest on Note receivable -$311.1
Credit - Interest Income -$311.1
An adjusting entry is an accounting entry made at the conclusion of an accounting period to update the accounts and put them in line with the accrual accounting method.
It is required because some transactions or occurrences may have been missed or recorded incorrectly throughout the period.
The Interest earned till 31 December will be :
(30+31 days)=61 days
=(15,300×12%×61days)÷360 days
=$111,996÷360 days

For each of the following errors, considered individually, indicate whether the error would cause the adjusted trial balance totals to be unequal. If the error would cause the adjusted trial balance totals to be unequal, indicate whether the debit or credit total is higher and by how much.
a. The adjustment for accrued wages of $5,200 was journalized as a debit to Wages Expense for $5,200 and a credit to Accounts Payable for $5,200.
b. The entry for $1,125 of supplies used during the period was journalized as a debit to Supplies Expense of $1,125 and a credit to Supplies of $1,152.
Answer:
a) The debit and credit side of the unadjusted trial balance would be increased by $ 5200.
b) The debit side would remain unchanged. No effect will be seen in the adjusted trial balance.
Explanation:
Effect of adjustments on adjusted Trial Balance.
This first entry would increase the wages expense and increase the liability account in the adjusted trial balance. Both debit and credit side would be increased by an equal amount.
b) This would decrease the Supplies account and increase the supplies expense in the unadjusted account. As both are on the debit side there would be no effect in the debit total.
Sr No Account Debit Credit
Original Entries
a. Wages Expense 5200

Correct Entries
a. Wages Expense 5200
Accrued Wages Account Payable 5200
b. Supplies Expense 1125

Difference:
a) We see that the first entry which was original passed the debit side is correct but the credit side would have been of accrued wages instead of accounts payable . This is to raise the amount by which wages are still outstanding by an amount 5200 at the end of the month.
This would decrease the accounts payable increase the wages payable . If the adjustment is not made it the salaries payable is understated .
b)This adjusting entry is correct.
In the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because: a. of government regulations. b. of collusion. c. firms are free to enter and exit the market. d. firms produce a differentiated product.
Answer:
c. firms are free to enter and exit the market.
Explanation:
A monopolistically competitive market is a market in which there are a lot of organizations that sell products that are similar and it tends to be easy to enter and leave the industry. Because it is easy for a company to enter the market and there is a lot of competition, in the long run the economic profit is zero. According to this, the answer is that in the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because firms are free to enter and exit the market.
The other options are not right because a monopolistically competitive market has zero profits because of its low entry barriers and amount of competitors not because of government regulations or an illegal agreement between organizations to control competition. Also, in a monopolistically competitive market the products are similar.

Explanation:
Solution
Many state bar affiliations have looked to make their advertising guidelines increasingly rigid, apparently in light of the fact that the picture of the legal calling has been enduring lately.
This example tries to clarify these changes endeavors by looking at whether bar affiliations are reacting to requests of individuals as exhibited by mentalities towards advertising, just as by their advertising practices.
For example let us take the case of law firm Bates where U.S Preeminent Court choices are not having their expected impacts and that advertising by legal advisors is misdirecting and compounding, making an atmosphere ready for change
Then again, the choices may be having their expected impacts of driving down costs and permitting youthful firms/lawyers to look for customers all the more adequately.
Utilizing study information of little firm legal advisors accumulated in four states before the change development got a lot of consideration, the proof recommends neither of these clarifications represents endeavors to make advertising progressively troublesome.
The little firm legal counselors, those suggested to profit by Bates and ensuing choices, have not changed their conduct in any calculable way.
Most advertising is in the business catalog and costs practically nothing, also mentalities toward advertising are not especially ideal.

Interest expense $ 7,425
Total operating expenses $1,281,675
Income before taxes $629,325
Income tax expense $251,730
Net income $ 377,595
Explanation:
Commissions 11 % of sales dollars
Rent $ 20,000 per month
Advertising 12 % of sales dollars
Office salaries $ 74,000 per month
Depreciation $ 49,000 per month
Interest 11 % annually on a $270,000 note payable
Tax rate 40%
Sales = Number of units for first quarter × price per unit
= (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $25
= $3,675,000
Cost of goods = (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $12
= $1,764,000
Commissions expense = 11 % of sales = 11% × $3,675,000 = $404,250
Advertising expense = 12 % of sales = 12% × $3,675,000 = $441,000
Interest expense = 11 % annually on a $270,000
= 11% × 270,000 × 3/12
= $ 7,425
Income = Gross profit - total operating expenses
= $1,911,000 - $1,281,675
= $629,325
Income tax expenses = 40% × $629,325 = $251,730
Steven has a typed copy of a contract, which he would like to have Thomas sign. Thomas, who needs glasses to read typing, doesn't want to sign until he has read the document, but Steven convinces Thomas to sign it anyway, because it is a "standard" contract for this type of situation. Is the contract which Thomas signed binding upon him?
Answer:
Yes, because he was negligent in not ascertaining its contents
Explanation:
Based on the information provided regarding the scenario at hand it can be said that Yes, this contract is binding upon Thomas because he was negligent in not ascertaining its contents. Each individual is responsible for completely reading and fully understanding the contents of the contract before they sign. Once an individual signs the contract it means that they fully agree with all that is specified in the contract and are held liable. Thomas should have waited until he had his glasses and read the contract before signing, regardless of what Steven had to say.

1. What was the gain or loss on the sale?2. Record the sale using a general journal entry.
Answer:
1.Loss on sale 1,400
2.Dr Cash 25,000
Dr Accumulated Depreciation 13,600
Dr Loss on sale 1,400
Cr Equipment - Tractor 40,000
Explanation:
1.Calculation of the gain or loss on the sale of Strawberry Fields
Using this formula
Depreciation per year = (Cost - Salvage value)/Useful life
= (40,000-6,000)/5
=34,000/5
= 6,800 per year
The Book value after two years will be:
40,000 - (6,800*2)
=40,000-13,600
=26,400
Gain(Loss) = Cash received - Book value
= 25,000 - 26,400
Loss on sale 1,400
2.Record of the sale using a general journal entry
Dr Cash 25,000
Dr Accumulated Depreciation 13,600

Depreciation associated with a project will: Answer A. cause incremental cash flows to increase B. only affect the fixed asset account as depreciation is a sunk cost C. have no effect on incremental cash flows D. cause incremental operating cash flows to decrease
Answer: A. cause incremental cash flows to increase
Explanation:
Incremental Cashflow (ICF) is the added cash that a company gets from embarking on a project which means that this Cashflow must be independent of expenses. If ICF is positive then the company will see it's Cashflow increase if they accept the project because it will contribute to their cash flow.
ICF is calculated from the Net Income of the project but seeing as Depreciation is a non-cash expense that is removed from the Income Statement. In calculating ICF it is added back as ICF deals with actual cash and Depreciation did not cost any actual cash.
More Depreciation therefore means an increase in Incremental Cash flow when it is being calculated from Net Income.
Your parents are giving you $170 a month for 5 years while you are in college. At a 7 percent discount rate, what are these payments worth to you when you first start college
Answer:
PV= $8,586.15
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $170
Number of months= 5*12= 60
Discount rate= 0.07/12= 0.00583
First, we need to calculate the future value, using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {170*[(1.00583 ^60)-1]} / 0.00583
FV= $12,169.53
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 12,169.53/(1.00583^60)
PV= $8,586.15
At the beginning of the period, the Cutting Department budgeted direct labor of $136,000, direct materials of $150,000 and fixed factory overhead of $11,900 for 8,000 hours of production. The department actually completed 10,600 hours of production. The appropriate total budget for the department, assuming it uses flexible budgeting, is Round your final answer to the nearest dollar. Do not round interim calculations.
Answer:
Total cost under flexible budgeting is $390,850
Explanation:
Calculation of Standard direct labor Cost
Standard Direct labor Cost=Budgeted Labor cost/Budgeted hour of Production
=$136,000 / 8,000
=$17 per hour
Calculation of Standard material Cost
Standard material Cost = Budgeted material Cost /Budgeted hour of Production
=$150,000 / 8,000
=$18.75 per hour
Calculation of Total cost under flexible budgeting
Direct Material Cost = 10,600 * $18.75 = $198,750
Direct Labour Cost= 10,600 * 17 = $180,200
Fixed factory overhead= $11,900
Total budgeted cost $390,850

A company received a bank statement showing a balance of $78,000. Reconciling items included outstanding checks of $2,400 and a deposit in transit of $9,400. What is the company's adjusted bank balance
Answer:
Adjusted Bank Balance = $85,000
Explanation:
Adjustment of bank balance is a bank reconciliation procedure, that is used to match the amount in the bank statement with the amount in the company's balance sheet.
To adjust the bank balance, particulars that need to be subtracted or added to the bank statement balance has to be identified and treated accordingly.
For this example, the adjusted balance is calculated thus:
Adjusted bank balance = (Bank statement balance) - (outstanding checks) +(deposit in transit)
Adjusted Bank Balance = 78,000 - 2,400 + 9,400 = $85,000
Note:
outstanding checks are subtracted because they are payments to be made made by the company, representing a liability to the company (payer)
deposit in transit is an income to the company that has not been credited yet, but that will be credited.

As part of the move, Butterfield transferred custody of her children to her husband, who lived in London, England. In accepting the job, Butterfield also forfeited her husband's alimony and child-support payments, including unpaid amounts of nearly $45,000. Before Butterfield started work, Huckleberry repudiated the contract. Unable to find employment for more than an annual salary of $30,000, Butterfield moved to London to be near her children. She filed a suit in an California state court against Huckleberry, seeking damages for breach of contract. Should the court hold, as Huckleberry argued, that Butterfield did not take reasonable steps to mitigate her damages? Why or why not?
Answer:
No, the court should not hold in favor of Huckleberry.
Explanation:
The rule of mitigation that Huckleberry tries to use in her favor states that the non-breaching party (Butterfield) should have taken all the necessary steps to reduce her loss, e.g. take a job in New York. She probably argued that Butterfield leaving for England to meet with her children made things worse.
But in this case, Butterfield relied on Huckleberry's promise to organize her life and the well being of her children. Butterfield made a lot of changes and sacrifices in her life because of this, e.g. forfeiting unpaid alimony, transferring custody of her children , etc.
Moving to a different city or country requires a lot of work, expat life is not easy and not everyone can handle it. Butterfield took decisions that affected the lives of many people and she is not responsible for Huckleberry's breaching, the only party responsible for all this mess is Huckleberry and it is normal that Butterfield would want to go to where her children are.
A corporation can earn 7.5% if it invests in municipal bonds. The corporation can also earn 8.30% (before-tax) by investing in preferred stock. Assume that the two investments have equal risk. What is the break-even corporate tax rate that makes the corporation indifferent between the two investments? Assume a 70% dividend exclusion for tax on dividends. (Do not round your intermediate answer and round your final answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
32.13%
Explanation:
The computation of the break-even corporate tax is shown below:
As we know that
Municipal bond return = preferred stock return before tax × [1 - (1 - dividend exclusion) × Break even corporate tax]
7.5 = 8.30 × [1 - ( 1 - 0.70) × Break even corporate tax ]
7.5 ÷ 8.30 = 1 - 0.30 × Break even corporate tax
0.9036 = 1 - 0.30 × Break even corporate tax
0.30 × Break even corporate tax = 1 - 0.9036
So, Break even corporate tax is
= 0.0964 ÷ 0.30
= 32.13%
Basically we applied the above formula
Jake, a pharmaceutical sales representative, often takes lunch to doctors' offices. Over lunch with the doctors and their staffs, he reviews his company's products. Jake does not try to close a sale during these lunches. What type of personal selling does this describe
Answer:
The correct answer is: order-creaters.
Explanation:
To begin with, the area of personal selling there are three types of different approaches regarding the sales person and his proper way of selling. According to this theory, one of those types is the one named "order-creaters" and that concept comprehends the type of sellers that primarily focos on not to close the sale, but to persuade the regular customer to promote the product to other clients from the same audience. Therefore that Jake, when goes to have launch in the same place as the doctors, even though he does not want to make a sale, he is looking forward to establish a relationship that later favoured him in promoting the product.
For each of the following situations involving annuitities solve for the unknown assume that interest is compounded annually and that all annuity amounts are received at the end of each period. (i = interest rate, and n = number of years) (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1).
Present Value Annuity Amount i = n =
3000 8% 5
242980 75000 4
161214 20000 9%
500000 80518 8
250000 10% 4
Answer:
A) $11,978.10
B) 9%
C) 15 years
D) 6%
E) $78,866.84
Explanation:
Present Value Annuity Amount i = n =
A 3000 8% 5
242980 75000 B 4
161214 20000 9% C
500000 80518 D 8
250000 E 10% 4
A = $3,000 x 3.9927 = $11,978.10
B: annuity factor = $242,980 / $75,000 = 3.23973
using the annuity table, a 9% annuity for 4 years has a factor = 3.2397
C: annuity factor = $161,214 / $20,000 = 8.0607
using the annuity table, a 9% annuity for 15 years has a factor = 8.0607
D: annuity factor = $500,000 / $80,518 = 6.20979
using the annuity table, a 6% annuity for 8 years has a factor = 6.2098
E: annuity payment = present value / annuity factor = $250,000 / 3.1699 (annuity factor 10%, 4 years) = $78,866.84
In 2010, the BowWow Company purchased 11,752 units from its supplier at a cost of $ 11.73 per unit. BowWow sold 18,971 units of its product in 2010 at a price of $ 24.86 per unit. BowWow began 2010 with $ 864,593 in inventory (inventory is carried at a cost of $ 11.73 per unit). Using this information, compute BowWow's 2010 ending inventory balance (in dollars).
Answer:
Ending inventory balance is $ 779,914.13
Explanation:
The cost of goods sold formula can be used to determine the ending inventory by rearranging the formula and making the ending inventory the subject of the formula:
cost of goods=beginning inventory+inventory purchased-ending inventory
ending inventory=beginning inventory+inventory purchased-costs of goods sold
ending inventory=$864,593+(11,752*$11.73)-(18971*$11.73)=$ 779,914.13
If the marginal cost of producing the fifth unit of output is higher than the marginal cost of producing the fourth unit of output, then at five units of output, average total cost must be rising.
a. True
b. False
Answer: a. True
Explanation:
Marginal Cost as well known is the cost of producing an extra unit of a good. Average Cost on the other hand is the cost of producing all the goods divided by the number of units that are produced.
It therefore stands to reason that if goods are getting more expensive to produce, the Average Cost will rise.
For example, take 2 scenarios.
Scenario 1.
Cost of producing units 1 to 5 is $2 each.
Average Cost = (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2) / 5
= 10/5
Average Cost = $2
Scenario 2
Cost of Producing Units 1 to 5 are;
Unit 1 - $2
Unit 2 - $2
Unit 3 - $2
Unit 4 - $2
Unit 5 - $4
Average cost at unit 5 = (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4)/5
= 12/5
= $2.40
Average Cost has increased by $0.40
Webster's Discount Appliances expects sales of $12,000, $15,000, and $25,000 during April, May, and June (big sale in June). To build business, Webster let's all customers buy on credit, and all do so. In the past, 20% of Webster's Discount Appliances sales have been collected during the month of sale, 65% are collected the following month, and 15% the month after that. If this trend continues, what will be Webster's total cash collections in the month of June
Answer:
$16,550
Explanation:
The computation of total cash collections in the month of June is shown below:-
Total cash collections in the month of June = (June sales × Percentage of collection) + (May sales × Percentage) + (April × Percentage)
= ($25,000 × 20%) + ($15,000 × 65%) + ($12,000 × 15%)
= $5,000 + $9,750 + $1,800
= $16,550
So, for computing the total cash collections in the month of June we simply applied the above formula.
We use 2,000 electric drills per year in our production process. The ordering cost for these is $100 per order and the Holding( carrying) cost is assumed to be 40% of the per unit cost. Each drill costs $78. What is the optimal quantity that would minimize the sum of Holding and Ordering costs.
Answer:
The Optimal Quantity to minimize Holding and Ordering Costs:
This is also known as the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ).
We can work it out using the EOQ formula.
The formula for EOQ is:
Q = √(2DS)/H
where:
Q=EOQ units
D=Demand in units (typically on an annual basis) = 2,000
S=Order cost (per purchase order) = $100
H=Holding costs (per unit, per year) = $31.20 ($78 x 40%)
Formula and Calculation of Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
Q = √(2x2,000x $100)/$31.2
Q = √12,820.5 = 113.228 or 113 approximately.
Explanation:
EOQ is an important cash flow management tool. The formula assists a company to control the amount of cash tied up in inventory. For many companies, inventory is their largest asset. Companies hold enough inventory to meet customers' demand. Since EOQ minimizes the level of inventory, the cash savings can be used for some other business purposes or investments.
The goal of the EOQ formula is to identify the optimal number of product units to order. If achieved, a company can minimize its costs for buying, delivery, and storing units, including the costs from running out of inventory.
Assume the profit margin is projected to increase to 9 percent while the dividend payout ratio remains constant. If sales increase by 12 percent, what is the projected total retained earnings (hint: add the additional RE onto the current RE)? Currently, the firm’s sales =$4,700, net income is $420, total assets=7890, dividends=125, A/P =790, LTD= 3130, and common stock=2780, and retained earnings =1190.
Answer:
The projected retained earnings are $1538.76
Explanation:
Profit margin=net income/sales
profit margin is 9%
sales growth rate is 12%
9%=net income/($4,700*(1+12%))
9%=net income/5264
9%*5264=net income
net income=$473.76
Projected total retained earnings=$1190+$473.76-$125=$1538.76
Demand for dishwasher water pumps is 8 per day. The standard deviation of demand is 3 per day, and the order lead time is four days. The service level is 95%. What should the reorder point be?
Answer:
41.9 units
Explanation:
Reorder point can be defined as the level of inventory which help to triggers an action to replace that particular inventory stock in such a way that when the stock level reduced the item must be reordered because it is the minimum unit quantity that a business owner or an organisation should always have in available inventory before they need to reorder more product.
Using this formula
Reorder point= Demand during the lead time + Z for customer service level * standard deviation * Square root of lead time multiplier.
Where,
Demand during the lead time =(8*4)
Z for customer service level =1.65
Standard deviation =3
Square root of lead time multiplier=4
Let plug in the formula
Reorder point=(8*4) + 1.65*3* square root of(4)
= 41.9 units.
Therefore the Reorder point is 41.9 units
