Answer:
B. 100 shares of ABC preferred stock
Explanation:
Shares are ownership stakes of a company that are given out to individuals who contribute to capital base of a company.
Preference shares are those whose owners recieve preference in payment of dividends, a fixed dividend is paid to them.
Ordinary shares recieve less preference when dividend is paid, usually coming last in divedend payment.
In this scenario ABC has decided to pay 10% stock dividend. This will be paid to ordinary share holders.
So the person with 100 preference shares will have 100 preference shares
10% of par value of $100 is 0.1 * 100= $10
Number of shares are 100 so the value is now 100 * $10 = $1,000
Since the conversion rate of preference to ordinary shares is 10:1
Number of preference shares= 1,000 ÷ 10= 100 preference shares

3. If the average price of an airline ticket on a certain route rises from $200 to $250, the number of tickets sold drop from 800 to 600. Calculate the price elasticity of demand. Is the demand elastic or inelastic?
Answer:
-Price elasticity of demand=0.77
-The demand is inelastic because the elasticity is 0.77 and this number is less than 1.
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the price elasticity of demand is:
Price elasticity of demand=% change in the quantity demanded/% change in the price
To use this formula you have to calculate the % change in the quantity demanded and % change in the price:
% change in the quantity demanded=(Q2-Q1/((Q2+Q1)/2))*100
% change in the quantity demanded=(250-200/((250+200)/2))*100
% change in the quantity demanded=(50/(450/2))*100
% change in the quantity demanded=(50/225)*100
% change in the quantity demanded=22.22%
% change in the price=(P2-P1/((P2+P1)/2))*100
% change in the price=(600-800/((600+800)/2))*100
% change in the price=(-200/(1400/2))*100
% change in the price=(-200/700)*100
% change in the price=-28.57%
Now, you can replace the values in the formula to to calculate the price elasticity of demand:
Price elasticity of demand= 22.22%/-28.57%
Price elasticity of demand=0.77
The price elasticity of the demand is 0.77. An elastic demand is when the elasticity is greater than 1 and an inelastic demand is when the elasticity is less than one. So, according to this, the demand is inelastic because the elasticity is 0.77 and this number is less than 1.
Edison has just paid an annual dividend of $3 per share. If the expected growth rate for Con Ed is 10%, and your required rate of return is 16%, how much are you willing to pay for this stock
Answer:
$55 per share
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the dividend discount model (DDM) formula as follows:
P = D1/(r - g) ............................ (1)
Where,
P = Current stock price or the amount you are willing to pay today
D1 = Next dividend = Current dividend * (1 + Growth rate) = $3 * (1 + 0.10) = $3.30
r = required return = 16%. or 0.16
g = growth rate = 10% = 0.10
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
P = $3.30 / (0.16 - 0.10) = $55 per share
Therefore, you are willing to pay $55 per share for this stock.

Carmel Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine costing $36,000 with a 6-year useful life and no salvage value. Carmel uses straight-line depreciation and assumes that the annual cash inflow from the machine will be received uniformly throughout each year. In calculating the accounting rate of return, what is Carmel's average investment
Answer: $18,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that Carmel Corporation is considering buying a machine that cost $36,000 with a 6-year useful life and no salvage value and the straight-line depreciation was used on the assumption that the annual cash inflow from the machine will be received uniformly throughout each year.
Accounting rate of return will be the average profit divided by the average investment
The average investment is made of up of the cost of the asset, its salvage value and working capital. Average investment will be the machines and cost divided by 2.
= $36000/2
= $18000.
The average investment is $18,000
Green Company is planning to introduce a new product with a 75 percent incremental unit-time learning curve for production in batches of 1,500 units. The variable labor costs are $55 per unit for the first 1,500-unit batch. Each batch requires 200 hours. There are $15,000 in fixed costs not subject to learning. What is the cumulative total time (labor hours) to produce 3,000 units
Answer:
210 hours
Explanation:
The learning curve rate can be found by log75%
Ln0.75 = 0.12249
1 batch requires 200 hours
The 1500 units batch will require 200 hours
For 3000 units there will be two batches of 1500 units each
200 hours * 2 batches * 0.12249 * 4.5 = 210 hours
Ratio analysis A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company's strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company's performance to that of its competitors, or to its past or expected future performance. Such insight helps managers and analysts improve their decision making.There are several groups of ratios most decision makers and analysts use to examine different aspects of a company's performance. Based on the descriptions of ratios listed, identify the relevant category of ratios.Ratios that help determine whether a company can access its cash and pay its short-term obligations are called______ratios.Ratios that help determine the efficiency with which a company manages its day-to-day tasks and assets are called______ratios.Ratios that help assess a company's ability to service the interest and repayment obligations on its long-term debt and the degree to which it uses borrowed versus invested financial capital are called______ratios. _______ratios help measure a company's ability to generate income and profits based on its invested capital.______ratios examine the market value of a company's share price, its profits and cash dividends, and the book value of the firm's assets and relate them to other data items to determine how the firm is perceived in the stock market. Ratio analysis is an important component of evaluating company performance. It can provide great insights into how a company matches up against itself over time and against other players within the industry. However, like many tools and techniques, ratio analysis has a few limitations and weaknesses. Which of the following statements represent a weakness or limitation of ratio analysis? A. Seasonal factors can distort data B. Window dressing might be in effect. C. Market data is not sufficiently considered.
Answer: 1. a. Liquidity Ratios
b. Activity Ratios
c. Financial Ratios
d. Profitability Ratios
e. Market Value Ratios
2. A. Seasonal factors can distort data
B. Window dressing might be in effect.
Explanation:
a. Liquidity Ratios give the company an idea of it's ability to access hard currency. Examples include the Current ratio and the Quick ratio.
b. Activity Ratios allows stakeholders know how efficient the company is at running daily operations. Examples include; Receivables Turnover and Asset Turnover ratios.
c. Financial Ratios are very important to the company as they can decide if a company will be able to get loans. They include ratios that measure the firm's ability to pay off debt as well as the overall condition of the firm in terms of it's finances.
Examples include; Net Profit Margin and Debt to Asset ratio.
d. Profitability Ratios
These help ascertain the ability of the business to make returns based on its resources. Examples include Return on Assets and Return on Equity.
e. Market Value Ratio
These essentially help the company and other stake holders know what the company is worth in the market. An example is the Book Value per Share ratio.
2. Seasonal Factors may indeed distort data depending on the type of industry that the firm is into and ratios will usually not show this. For instance, an Ice Cream company will not have strong sales in winter so when interpreting ratio analysis it would be important to note that this could happen.
Another weakness is that ratios are calculated based on the figures that are given by a company. These figures may not truly reflect the actual situation of the company when management supply more optimistic figures than is true. This is called Window Dressing.
It will have the effect of distorting the ratios so that they do not represent a true representation of the actual situation of the company.
Exercise 5-10 Lower of cost or market LO P2 Martinez Company's ending inventory includes the following items. Product Units Cost per Unit Market per Unit Helmets 36 $ 58 $ 54 Bats 29 76 82 Shoes 50 95 99 Uniforms 54 40 40 Compute the lower of cost or market for ending inventory applied separately to each product.
Answer:
Helmets $ 1,944
Bats $ 2,204
Shoes $ 4,750
Uniforms $ 2,000
Explanation:
We will compare between the cost and the proceeds from sale of the units. As accounting wants to represent reality it cannot value the company goods higher than it can acceess to it in the market regardless of the purchase cost.
This may generate losses to represent the decrease in the overall value of the good.
Helmets 36 $ 58 $ 54
Helmets cost is higher than market so we recognize a loss an valued at $54
36 units x $54 = $1,944
Bats 29 $76 $82
Bats productions cost is lower so we keep it.
29 units x $76 = $2,204
Shoes 50 $95 $99
Shoes also has a lower production cost
50 units x $95 = $4,750
Uniforms 54 $40 $40
As they are the same we just leave with $40
50 units x $40 = $2000
Five years ago you took out a 30-year mortgage with an APR of 6.5% for $200,000. If you were to refinance the mortgage today for 20 years at an APR of 4.25%, how much would your monthly payment change by?
Answer:
-$104.79
Explanation:
Current Mortgage Payment:
P/Y = 12,
N = 360,
I/Y = 6.5,
PV = $200,000,
Solve
for PMT = $1,264.14
Current Mortgage Balance:
P/Y = 12,
N = 300,
I/Y = 6.5,
PMT = $1,264.14,
Solve
for PV = $187,221.9
New Mortgage Payment:
P/Y = 12,
N = 240,
I/Y = 4.25,
PV = $187,222.54,
Solve
for PMT = $1,159.35
Current Payment - New Payment
= $1,159.35- $1,264.14
= -$104.79
Blythe and Cali do business as Diamond Investments. In acting on the firm's behalf,Blythe makes an honest error in overestimating the value of a particular stock purchase. To her firm,Blythe is:__________.
A) liable for breach of the duty of care.
B) liable for breach of the duty of accounting.
C) liable for breach of the duty of accounting.
D) not liable.
Answer:
D) not liable.
Explanation:
Duty of Care is the legal expectation from individuals and businesses in the course of discharging their duties, not to engage in conduct that could be foreseen to predispose others to danger or harm. The Duty of Accounting or accounting responsibility requires an accurate record of transactions. Liability implies being legally answerable. In business transactions, businessmen owe it to their customers to provide their services and products in the best possible way so as to prevent causing harm to them. Employees also owe it to the organization they work for to discharge their duties carefully to avoid causing them loss.
Blythe's honest error in overestimating the value of a particular stock purchase is a mistake that anyone can make and can be easily corrected. Her company would not go the long route of taking her to court over such a mistake. Therefore, Blythe is not liable to her company.

c) The temporary difference between taxes as per accounting income and taxes as per tax regulation is recorded in the books through Deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability. When accounting income is more than tax income it would imply more taxes need to be paid in future, so a deferred tax liability account is created.
d) Tax Computations: The prevalent tax rate of 40% is multiplied with the pre-tax accounting income, the pre-tax taxable income, and the temporary differences in income respectively to obtain their respective taxes. Ordinarily, the differences in the tax amounts of accounting income and taxable income is deferred tax asset/liability. The deferred tax asset and liability can still be obtained separately as we have done in this case. They give the same results.
Lake Erie Company uses a plantwide overhead rate with machine hours as the allocation base. Next year, 700,000 units are expected to be produced taking 0.75 machine hours each. How much overhead will be assigned to each unit produced given the following estimated amounts?
Estimated: Department 1 Department 2
Manufacturing overhead costs $3,141,500 $1,571,000
Direct labor hours 167,000 DLH 267,000 DLH
Machine hours 267,000 MH 192,000 MH
a. $10.86 per unit
b. $8.73 per unit
c. $4.22 per unit
d. $11.77 per unit
e. $10 per unit
Answer:
$7.70 per unit
Explanation:
For computing the overhead rate per unit we first need to compute the estimated amount which is as follows
Total manufacturing cost
= Department 1 + department 2
= $31,41,500.00 + $15,71,000.00
= $47,12,500.00
Total machine hours
= Department 1 + department 2
= 267,000 MH + 192,000 MH
= 459000 MH
Now predetermined overhead rate is
= Total manufacturing cost ÷ Total machine hours
= $4,712,500 ÷ 459,000 MHs
= $10.27 per MH
Now overhead per unit is
= Pre-determined overhead rate per MH × Machine Hours required per unit
= $10.27 per MH × 0.75 MHs per unit
= $7.70 per unit

Pizza is a normal good if the demand Group of answer choices
a. for pizza rises when income rises.
b. for pizza rises when the price of pizza falls.
c. curve for pizza slopes upward.
d. curve for pizza shifts to the right when the price of burritos rises, assuming pizza and burritos are substitutes.
Answer:
Option A, For Pizza rise when income rises.
Explanation:
Option A is correct because the income of the consumer and the demand for normal goods are positively related. So when consumer's income increases then the demand for normal goods also increases. If the income falls then the demand for normal goods also falls. Therefore, the movement in the same direction shows that there is a direct relationship between normal goods and the income of the consumer.

Which of the following is useful to combine the data of different segments using different software for the purpose of creating companywide budgets? A. budget creation manual B. budget management software C. financial analysis software D. accounting development manual
Answer:
B. budget management software
Explanation:
A budget management software would be the best option to combine different segments of data to create a companywide budget.
This is because one of the specific purposes of budget management software is to merge several budgets (for example, the budgets of a company's divisions) into a single one, larger budget (the companywide budget).
A retail dealer in garments is currently selling 24,000 shirts annually. He supplies the following details for the year ended 31st March 2007. Selling price per shirt: P800 Variable cost per shirt: P600 Fixed Cost: Staff salaries: P2 400 000 General Office Cost: P800, 000 Advertising Cost: P800, 000 REQUIRED: a) Calculate Break-even Point in sales revenue and number of shirts sold. b) What is the margin of safety of the dealer expressed as a percentage . c) Assume that 30, 000 shirts were sold during the year, find out the net profit of the firm. d) Assuming that in the coming year, an additional staff salary of P1,000, 000 is anticipated, and price of shirt is likely to be increased by 15%, what should be the break-even point in number of shirts and sales? e) If taxation rate is 12.5%, and fixed cost increase to 6 000 000 what is the level of sales that must be achieved to a targeted profit of P8 000 000.
Answer:
a) Calculate Break-even Point in sales revenue and number of shirts sold.
20,000 shirts $16,000,000b) What is the margin of safety of the dealer expressed as a percentage .
16.67%c) Assume that 30, 000 shirts were sold during the year, find out the net profit of the firm.
$2,000,000d) Assuming that in the coming year, an additional staff salary of P1,000, 000 is anticipated, and price of shirt is likely to be increased by 15%, what should be the break-even point in number of shirts and sales?
15,625 shirts $14,375,000e) If taxation rate is 12.5%, and fixed cost increase to 6 000 000 what is the level of sales that must be achieved to a targeted profit of P8 000 000.
47,322 shirts$43,536,240Explanation:
selling price per shirt $800 x 24,000 = $19,200,000
variable cost per shirt $600 x 24,000 = $14,400,000
total fixed costs $4,000,000
net income $800,000
contribution margin per unit = $800 - $600 = $200
break even point = $4,000,000 / $200 = 20,000 shirts x $800 = $16,000,000
margin of safety = (current sales - break even point) / current sales = ($19,200,000 - $16,000,000) / $19,200,000 = 16.67%
if 30,000 shirts were sold:
contribution margin 30,000 x $200 = $6,000,000
fixed costs $4,000,000
net income $2,000,000
if sales price increases to $920, contribution margin = $320
fixed costs increase to $5,000,000
break even point = $5,000,000 / 320 = 15,625 shirts x $920 = $14,375,000
fixed costs increase to %6,000,000
targeted profit $8,000,000 + tax rate = $9,142,857
sales target = ($6,000,000 + $9,142,857) / $320 = 47,321.43 ≈ 47,322 shirts

The fixed order quantity system is an arrangement whereby the inventory level is typically continuously monitored and also the replenishment stock is ordered based on the previously-fixed quantities while for a fixed time period model, the inventory levels are checked on regular basis for the items e.g every week.
A plant manager may elect to use a fixed-order quantity model as opposed to a fixed-time period model when the holding cost is much higher. Typically, fixed order quantity model is typically used for the costly items.
The disadvantages of using a fixed-time period ordering system are:
i. It doesn't consider market structure changes
ii. There should be a high level of inventory in order to avoid stock out.
iii. It leads to rigidity in the system as it makes the decision on time period complex when there's need for urgency.

On January 2, 2021, the Jackson Company purchased equipment to be used in its manufacturing process. The equipment has an estimated life of eight years and an estimated residual value of $50,125. The expenditures made to acquire the asset were as follows:
Purchase price $220,000
Freight charges 6800
Installation charges 10,000
Jackson's policy is to use the double-declining-balance (DDB) method of depreciation in the early years of the equipment's life and then switch to straight line halfway through the equipment's life.
Required:
Calculate depreciation for each year of the asset's eight-year life.
Answer:
Jackson Company
Calculation of the Depreciation for each year:
a) Using the double-declining-balance (DDB) method of depreciation:
1st year, the depreciation charge = $59,200 ($236,800 x 25%)
2nd year, the depreciation charge = $44,400 ($236,800 - 59,200) x 25%
3rd year, the depreciation charge = $33,300 ($236,800 - 103,600) x 25%
4th year, the depreciation charge = $24,975 ($236,800 - 136,900) x 25%
5th year, the usage of straight-line method commences:
Depreciation charge = $58,100/4 = $14,525
6th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
7th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
8th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
Explanation:
a) Asset's recognized cost:
Purchase price $220,000
Freight charges 6,800
Installation charges 10,000
Total cost = $236,800
b) Useful life = 8 years, with salvage value of $50,125.
c) Double-declining balance depreciation rate = 25% (100/8 * 2)
d) Accumulated Depreciation at the end of:
1st year = $59,200
2nd year = $103,600 ($59,200 + 44,400)
3rd year = $136,900 ($103,600 + 33,300)
4th year = $128,575 ($136,900 + 24,975)
5th year = $143,100 ($128,575 + 14,525)
6th year = $157,625 ($143,100 + 14,525)
7th year = $172,150 ($157,625 + 14,525)
8th year = $186,675 ($172,150 + 14,525)
e) Book value of asset at the end of the fourth year:
Cost = $236,800
Accumulated depreciation $128,575
Book value = $108,225
Salvage value = $50,125
Straight-line depreciable amount = $58,100
f) The double-declining-balance depreciation method is an accelerated depreciation method that expenses the cost of an asset more rapidly by multiplying the straight-line method's rate by 2 and applying this rate on the reducing balance. On the other hand, the straight-line depreciation method uses the same amount of depreciation each year over an asset's useful life. The double-declining balance method does not take into consideration the salvage value unlike the straight-line depreciation method until towards the end of the useful life of the asset.
The next dividend payment by Savitz, Inc., will be $1.68 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $32 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
The answer is 11.25%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The next step to take is to calculate the required rate of return which is shown below:
The required rate = D₁/P₀₀ + g
Thus,
$1.68/$32 + 0.06%
=0.0525 + 0.06
=0.1125 or 11.25%
Therefore, the required rate of return is 11.25%
In what ways could prisoners of war earn a profit? What would motivate a prisoner to want profit?In what ways could prisoners of war earn a profit? What would motivate a prisoner to want profit?
Answer:
By working to produce goods for manufacturing companies
By working on prison farms.
Other ways may also include working in construction projects in or outside the prison yard.
Explanation:
In this modern day, prisoners of war are sometimes employed to manufacture good while in prison. They are usually utilized as a cheap labor source in which they are paid less than the normal wage of freemen. Some of the manufacturing jobs done are usually contracted to the prison by outside manufacturing firms, or sometimes by the prison itself; in order to generate additional income. These works keep the prisoners busy and also earn them profit.
In some cases, some of the prisoners are are made to work on the prison farm. The prisoners are paid minimal wages for their services. This types of jobs keep the prisoners occupied and fit and helps feed the prisoners too. The excess income generated fro the sales of the farm products can be used to pay the prisoners. Also, prisoners can participate in construction projects in and outside the prison yard.
One of the biggest motivator for prisoners wanting profit is the fact that they have hope that they will be out some day. This profit is needed as a boost for these prisoners when they come out, prior to being employed. Also, some of these prisoners sometimes need this profit to provide themselves with some necessary stuffs not provided by the prison system.
Rubium Micro Devices currently manufactures a subassembly for its main product. The costs per unit are as follows:
Direct materials $54.00
Direct labor 35.00
Variable overhead 40.00
Fixed overhead 34.00
Total $163.00
Crayola Technologies Inc. has contacted Rubium with an offer to sell 6,000 of the subassemblies for $144.00 each. Rubium will eliminate $89,000 of fixed overhead if it accepts the proposal. Should Rubium make or buy the subassemblies? What is the difference between the two alternatives?
Answer:
If the company buys the units, income will decrease by $1,000.-
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $54.00
Direct labor 35.00
Variable overhead 40.00
Crayola Technologies Inc. has contacted Rubium with an offer to sell 6,000 of the subassemblies for $144.00 each. Rubium will eliminate $89,000 of fixed overhead if it accepts the proposal.
First, we need to determine the total cost of making the units:
Total cost= total variable costs + avoidable fixed costs
Total costs= (54 + 35 + 40)*6,000 + 89,000= $863,000
Now, the cost of buying:
Total cost= 6,000*144= $864,000
If the company buys the units, income will decrease by $1,000.-

To record depreciation charge for the period.
Explanation:
Adjusting entries are prepared at the end of an accounting period to being the accounts to the accrual basis from the state of the cash basis. The purpose is to reflect on transactions that took place instead of emphasizing the receipt and payment of cash. These entries, therefore, agree with the accrual concept which requires that transactions be recognized based on the period to which the expense or revenue is incurred or earned instead of when cash payment or receipt takes place.
Crane Company incurs these expenditures in purchasing a truck: cash price $23,030, accident insurance (during use) $1,690, sales taxes $1,380, motor vehicle license $670, and painting and lettering $2,140. What is the cost of the truck
Answer:
$27,220
Explanation:
Cost of the truck includes : Cash price + sales tax + motor vehicle license + painting and lettering
accident insurance would not be added because its a revenue expenditure as it will reoccur after a year.
$23,030 + $670 + $2,140 + $1,380 = $27,220
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
$27,220
Explanation:
From the question above Crane company incurs the following expenditures in purchasing a truck
Cash price = $23,030
Accident insurance during use= $1,690
Sales tax= $1,380
Motor vehicle license= $670
Painting and lettering= $2,140
Therefore, the cost of the truck can be calculated as follows
= $23,030+$1,380+$670+$2,140
= $27,220
The accident insurance is not added to find the cost of the truck because it doesn't add any value and can happen again the following year.
Hence the cost of the truck is $27,220
Super Carpeting Inc. just paid a dividend of $2.64 and its dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5.50% per year. If the required return on Super's stock is 13.75% what is the intristic value of Super's shares?
A- $48.00 per share
B- $32.00 per share
C- $33.76 per share
D- $38.40 per share
Which of the following statements is true about the constant growth model?
A- the constant growth model can be used if a stock's expected constant growth rate is more than its required return
B- The constant growth model can be used if a stock's expected constant growth rateis less than its required return
Use the constant growth model to calculate the appropriate values to complete the following statements about Super Carpeting Inc.
If Super stock is equilibrium, the current expected dividend yield on the stock will be ______ per share
Super's expected stock price one year from today will be ____ per share
If Super's stock is in equilibrium, the current expected capital gains yield on Supers stock will be _____
Answer:
1. C. $33.76 per share
2. B- The constant growth model can be used if a stock's expected constant growth rateis less than its required return
3. 8.25% ; $35.62 ; 5.5%
Explanation:
1. Using the Constant Growth Model to calculate the intrinsic value would be best given the above values.
The formula is;
Value = Next Dividend / (Required Return - Growth rate)
Value = (2.64 * ( 1 + 5.5%)) / ( 13.75% - 5.5%)
Value = 2.7852/8.25%
Value = $33.76
2. Going by the formula, if the expected growth rate is more than the required return, the intrinsic value would be a negative number and a stock's price cannot go below 0. The growth rate has to be less than the required return for this to work.
3. At Equilibrium, the stock dividend is growing as it should.
Dividend Yield should therefore be;
= Next Dividend / Stock Value * 100
= (2.7852 / 33.76) * 100
= 8.25%
Stock Price should grow at the growth rate so;
= 33.76 * ( 1 + 0.055)
= $35.62
Gains yield refers to what rate the stock will change in value. Growth rate is 5.5% so that will be the answer.
Tom is talking to his friend Bob, who has an interest in Freedom, LLC, about purchasing his LLC interest. Bob's outside basis in Freedom, LLC, is $7,000. This includes his $1,900 one-fourth share of the LLC's debt. Bob's 704(b) capital account is $14,000. If Tom bought Bob's LLC interest for $11,000, what would Tom's outside basis be in Freedom, LLC
Answer: $12,900
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that Tom is talking to his friend Bob, who has an interest in Freedom, LLC, about buying his LLC interest. Bob's outside basis in Freedom, LLC, is $7,000 which includes his $1,900 one-fourth share of the LLC's debt. Bob's 704(b) capital account is $14,000. We are further told that Tom bought Bob's LLC interest for $11,000.
Tom's outside basis be in Freedom, LLC will be the amount that he paid for Bob's LLC interest plus the share of LLC’s debt. This will be:
= $11,000 + $1,900
= $12,900
After examining a planning gap, firms typically attempt to decide if the time horizon should be increased or decreased. perform a SWOT analysis with their major competitor as the focus. use statistical trend analysis to interpret the results. exploit a positive deviation and correct a negative deviation. adopt a product-market focus.
Answer: exploit a positive deviation and correct a negative deviation
Explanation:
A planning gap is the difference that occurs in revenue or profits gap when current strategies are not changed. The gap analysis can help in the identification of gaps in the market. Therefore, when an organization compares its forecast profits to the company's desired profits, the planning gap will be shown.
When the actual results are lesser than the planned result, the organization would have to fill the gap with a marketing program which has been revised and sometime with new goals. Therefore, the firm can then decide whether to exploit wither a positive deviation and correct a negative deviation.
1. A contract calls for a total payment of $800,000 with a guarantee. Essentially the contractor is guaranteed to make at least $200,000 above his costs. If the contractor can demonstrate his costs exceed $600,000, the project will pay the difference, with a $50,000 ceiling on the overage. The contractor demonstrates he spent $623,000. How much (gross) must the project remit to the contractor?
Answer:
The gross which the project has to remit to the contractor is $823,000
Explanation:
There are two things that must be fulfilled for the project to remit to the contractor is the amount .
1) First is the guaranteed payment of $800,000.
2) Second, the contractor's expense is more than $600,000, with a payment cap of up to $ 50,000.
The contractor has demonstrated that the cost incurred is $623,000 which is $23,000 above the limit of $600,000.
As this gap is still below $50,000, this will be handed over to the contractor by the client.
The gross which the project has to remit to the contractor = $800,000 + $23,000 = $823,000
If all you knew about a production system was that total daily output was 400 units and the total labor necessary to produce the 400 units was 350 hours, and the total materials used were 425 units, what kind of productivity measure could you use to compute productivity?
Answer:
partial measure
Explanation:
Based on the information provided it can be said that the kind of productivity measure that can be used would be a partial measure. Partial Productivity measure relates output to a single input unit. For example, capital productivity deals with output per unit of capital while energy productivity relates output per joule of energy used. In this scenario, we would need labor productivity which is output per hour worked.
. Nestle Co. paid $130,000 for a machine used to mill oats. The annual contribution margin from oat sales is $60,000. The machine could be sold for $80,000. The opportunity cost of producing the oats is ________. Question 20 options: $130,000 $0 $80,000 $20,000 $60,000
Answer:$80,000
Explanation:
Opportunity cost refers to an alternative forgone that is the value one could have received but declined to take the next best alternative according to his or her preference.
Here , Nestle has two choices to make, it can decide to produce oats or sell the machine, but taking the option of producing oats leaves the option of selling the machine at $80,000 as the Opportunity cost.
