Answer: The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred.
Explanation:
A loss contingent is an expense that is based on a future event for instance, if the company loses a law suit and would have to pay settlement costs.
Loss contingents are only permitted to be accrued if the probability that they will happen is likely and even at that, the amount of loss needs to be capable of being reasonably estimated. This way, a proper estimate can be made that will represent the situation adequately.

Answer:
A, C, B
Explanation:
Calculation to determine In what order should Grover Corp. prioritize production of its products to maximize profit during the labor shortage
Product A Product B Product C
Selling price $ 44.00 $ 18.00 $ 28.50
Less Variable cost per unit
$ 28.00 $ 15.00 $ 27.00
=Contribution margin per unit
$16.00 $3.00 $1.50
÷Direct labor hours per unit 2.00 1.50 .50
=Contribution margin per labor hour
$8.00 $2.00 $3.00
PRODUCT A=$16.00÷2.00
PRODUCT A=$8.00
PRODUCT B=$3.00÷1.50
PRODUCT B=$2.00
PRODUCT C=$1.50÷.50
PRODUCT C=$3.00
RANKING:
PRODUCT A=$8.00
PRODUCT C=$3.00

Therefore based on the above calculation the order that Grover Corp.should prioritize production of its products to maximize profit during the labor shortage will be from the highest Contribution margin per labor hour to the lowest which are A,C,B
Answer: A, C, B.
Explanation:
To solve this question based on the information given goes thus:
The Contribution margin per labor hour for Product A will be:
= ($44 - $28) / 2.0
= $16/2.0
= $8
The Contribution margin per labor hour for Product B will be:
= ($18 - $15) / 1.50
= $2
The Contribution margin per labor hour for Product C will be:
= ($28.50 - $27) / 0.50
= $1.50/0.5
= $3
Therefore, the order that Grover Corp. should use to prioritize production of its products to maximize profit during the labor shortage will be:

Two years ago, you purchased 100 shares of General Mills Corporation. Your purchase price was $58 a share, plus a total commission of $30 to purchase the stock. During the last two years, you have received the following dividend amounts: $1.65 per share for the first year and $1.77 per share the second year. Also, assume that at the end of two years, you sold your General Mills stock for $67 a share minus a total commission of $40 to sell the stock.
(a) Calculate the dividend yield for your General Mills stock at the time you purchased it. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Dividend yield at purchase %
(b) Calculate the dividend yield for your General Mills stock at the time you sold it. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Dividend yield at sale
(c) Calculate the total return for your General Mills investment when you sold the stock at the end of two years. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.) Total return
(d) Calculate the annualized holding period yield for your General Mills investment at the end of the two-year period. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. Dividend = $1.65
Market price per share = $58
Dividend yield at purchase = $1.65/$58
Dividend yield at purchase = 2.84%
b. Dividend = $1.77
Market price per share = $67
Dividend yield at sale = $1.77/$67
Dividend yield at sale = 2.64%
c. Total return = Dividend Received + Capital Gain on sale of shares - Commission paid
= [$ (1.65 + 1.77) * 100 shares] + [$ (67-58) * 100 shares] - $30 - $40
= 342 + 900 - 30 - 40
= $812
d. Annualized holding period yield = (Total return / Original investment) * (1 / N)
= {Total return / [(Purchase price per share * Number of shares) + Purchase commission]} * (1 / N)
= {$ 812/[($ 58 *100) + 30]} * (1/2 years)
= 6.96%

Net income/loss
-$270,000
Operating cash flow = $5,000 + $450,000 - $0 = $500,000
Cash flow from assets = Operating cash flow - Change in networking capital - Net capital spending
= $500,000 - $0 - $0
= $500,000
Cash flow to shareholders = Dividends - New equity
= $0 - $0
= $0
Cash flow to creditors = Cash flow from assets - Cash flow to shareholders
= $500,000 - $0
= $500,000
Therefore, new long term debt added during the year is;
= Interest - Cash flow to creditors
= $275,000 - $500,000
= $225,000

Explanation:
Stephanle is planning to buy a house and can choose between a traditional mortgage at 5% Interest or an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) at
4.5% Interest. What factor would make the ARM less attractive to Stephanie?
Select the best answer from the choices provided.
ОА. Interest rates are dropping and are expected to continue to fall.
ОВ.
Home values are rising and are expected to continue to rise.
OC. Stephanie expects to receive a promotion within a year.
OD. Stephanie could not afford the payment if the interest rate rose to 5.5%.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
If Stephanie knows that the interest rates are dropping and are expected to continue to do so, she may feel that the ARM is her best option. However, interest rates that go down will always come back up, and most likely surpass the previous high rate. If said rate increases to an amount out of her budget, the adjustable-rate mortgage would be the less attractive method.

If the fund earns 6 percent interest each year. The terminal value of this uneven cash flow stream at the end of Year 4 is _____.
Answer:
$2,314
Explanation:
Calculation for what The terminal value of this uneven cash flow stream at the end of Year 4 is
First step is to calculate the terminal Value at the end of the first year
Terminal Value at the end of the first year=$700(1+0.06)^3
Terminal Value at the end of the first year=$833.7
Second step is to calculate the terminal Value at the end of the second year
Terminal Value at the end of the second year=$500(1+0.06)^2
Terminal Value at the end of the second year=$561.8
Third step is to calculate the terminal Value at the end of the third year

If Diamond Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 15% of the direct labor costs.
Prepare a differential analysis dated February 24 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case. If an amount is zero, enter zero "0". If required, round your answers to two decimal places. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.
Answer:
Diamond Computer Company
The company should make (Alternative 1) the cases.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Purchase price of portable computer cases = $59 per unit
Alternative 1: Make
Direct materials $35.00
Direct labor 18.00
Variable overhead 2.70 (15% of $18.00)
Total variable cost $55.70
Alternative 2: Buy
Purchase price = $59
b) A make or buy decision is determined by preparing a differential analysis. The differential or incremental analysis evaluates the changes in revenues, costs, and profits resulting from Diamond's decision to make or purchase the computer carrying cases.
The labor force (sum of employed and unemployed workers) is fixed at 120 million. Each month, 2% of the workers who are employed at the beginning of the month lose their job, and 10% of the workers who are unemployed at the beginning of the month find a job. Assume that in January the number of workers without a job (unemployed) are 10 million. How many workers will be unemployed in March, that is, two months later
Answer:
Total number of unemployed (March)= 12,256,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total labor force= 120 million
Unemployed people (January)= 10 million
Each month, 2% of the workers who are employed at the beginning of the month lose their job, and 10% of the workers who are unemployed at the beginning of the month find a job.
First, we will calculate the unemployed and employed people for February:
New Unemployed= 110,000,000*0.02= 2,200,000
New employed= 10,000,000*0.1= 1,000,000
Total number of unemployed= 10,000,000 + 2,200,000 - 1,000,000= 11,200,000
Total number of employed= 110,000,000 + 1,000,000 - 2,200,000= 108,800,000
Now, for March:
New Unemployed= 108,800,000*0.02= 2,176,000
New employed= 11,200,000*0.1= 1,120,000
Total number of unemployed= 11,200,000 + 2,176,000 - 1,120,000= 12,256,000
Total number of employed= 108,800,000 + 1,120,000 - 2,176,000= 107,744,000
Trustmark provides more than 2 million people with flexible medical, life, and disability benefits and fitness and wellness services. The company, headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, has more than 6,200 full- and part-time employees working in twenty five locations across the United States. Trustmark experienced steady growth until mid-1990, when it experienced financial pressures that forced it to re-evaluate its operations. Trustmark concentrated on core competencies, sold off businesses, and focused on generating capital. Once the company was financially sound, Trustmark executives moved to create a culture that would be open to innovation and opportunity. The challenge was to create a culture where all employees felt they could challenge that status quo and seek new opportunities. The key to creating this culture was developing effective leaders who supported it. Trustmark used workshops and 360-degree feedback to help the "Trustmark Renaissance," a radical change in the organization culture and mindset, succeed. The leadership program includes sessions, attended by senior leaders, directors, and managers, during which participants learn about leadership practices, such as how to inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, enable others to act, and encourage with the heart. During these sessions, participants also receive feedback from their 360-degree assessments. Participants also get one-on-one coaching where they can discuss their leadership challenges and their feedback. Participants are asked to identify development areas to focus on during the next step in the process, a two-day workshop. At the workshop, participants learn more about the leadership practices and how to improve the areas identified in their feedback. Participants leave the workshop with an improvement plan for improving their leadership effectiveness. Participants are paired with partners who are expected to provide post-workshop support, exchange action plans, and commit to follow-up to ensure success in using what they learned. 1- What development activities are used in this program? Why are they important? 2- What data or outcomes should be collected to monitor the effectiveness of the leadership development program? Explain the business reason for your choice or outcomes or data.

Yankee Express is offering qualified customers a new credit card that offers an introductory rate of .5 percent per year, compounded monthly for the first 6 months, then increasing to 17.3 percent compounded monthly. Assume you transfer a balance of $6,300 from your existing credit card to Yankee Express, and make no subsequent payments. How much credit card interest will you owe at the end of the first year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer: $582.15
Explanation:
Total amount owed in 6 months = 6,300 * ( 1 + 0.5%/12)⁶
= $6,315.77
Interest increases to 17.3%.
Amount owed at the end of the year:
= 6,315.77 * (1 + 17.3%/12)⁶
= $6,882.16
Interest owed = Amount owed end of year - Beginning balance
= 6,882.16 - 6,300
= $582.15
