Answer: B) may be liable to the seller for violating duties required by the listing agreement.
Explanation:
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a database that allows brokers to cooperate in finding buyers for homes. They list the properties for sale and if other brokers know people who need such a house they will reach out and buy it. The listing broker and the selling broker will then share commissions.
This is what the broker was trying to avoid by withholding the information from the MLS.
However, the broker is in violation of the listing agreement which stated that he should post it on the MLS within 3 working days and as such there is a very real chance that he is liable to the seller for this violation.
You are the new manager in an Indian office. You ask one of your supervisors to move a desk and place it in another corner of the office. The next day you notice it has not yet been done. Why
Answer:
Explanation:
Since not much information has been provided, the two most likely reasons as to why this has not been done would be the following,
One would be that the supervisor did not understand your request due to language barriers that you are not accustomed to since this is your first time working in an Indian office.
The Second most likely reason is that it is not the supervisors job to move your office furniture around. The supervisor is a higher position than manager and his primary responsibility is to look over your performance and make sure that you are doing what you have been hired to do.
The Supplies account had a balance at the beginning of year 3 of $8,000 (before the reversing entry). Payments for purchases of supplies during year 3 amounted to $50,000 and were recorded as expense. A physical count at the end of year 3 revealed supplies costing $14,500 were on hand. Reversing entries are used by this company. The required adjusting entry at the end of year 3 will include a debit to:
Answer:
The required adjusting entry at the end of year 3 will include a debit to:
Supplies Expenses Account of $43,500 ($8,000 + 50,000 - 14,500), and a credit to Supplies Account in the sum of $43,500.
Explanation:
Adjusting entries are made at the end of an accounting period to bring the accounts in line with the accrual concept, which requires that expenses and revenue should be recognized in the period they are incurred or earned.
This implies that transactions should not be based solely on when cash is received or payment made. Expenses incurred but not yet paid should be recognized in the accounts of the period. Revenue earned but not yet received in cash should be accounted for in the period when the revenue is earned. Expenses paid in advance should not be recognized in determining net income. Revenue collected but not yet earned should not be included in the period's accounts for determining net income. Finally, non-cash expenses (depreciation) should be recognized in the period they are incurred.

A manufacturer of hardboard and fiber cement sidings and panels purchased new equipment for its new product line for $20,000. A declining balance depreciation at a rate of 1.5 times the straight line rate with a 5-year recovery period and an estimated salvage value of $8000 was used to write off the capital investment. The company expects to realize net revenue of $57,000 each year for the next 5 years. However, due to the sudden change in business direction, the company decided to sell the equipment after 2 years of operation for $21,000. Assuming an effective tax of 40% and an after-tax MARR of 12% per year, calculate the future worth of the after-tax cash flow at the end of year 2.(HINT: skip $ and comma symbols) Year BTCF ATCF 0 -20000 -20,000 1 57,000 36,600.00 2a 57,000 35,880.00 2b 25579 ...
Answer:
Hello from your question there is a mix up of the figures for the BTCF AFTER 2 years and the BTCF given in the table so i would work with the value contained in the table i.e ( 25579 )
answer : 71052
Explanation:
Declining balance amount can be expressed/calculated using this formula a
[tex]\frac{1.5}{N} ; d_{k} = B ( 1 - k )^{k-1} (R ) ;\\ Bv_{k} = B ( 1 - R )^{k}[/tex] also R = 1.5 / 5 = 0.3 , k = 2 years
therefore Bv[tex]_{2}[/tex] = 20000 ( 1 - 0.3 [tex])^{2}[/tex] = 9800
Mv = 25579
Recapturing depreciation = Mv - Bv = 25579 - 9800 = 15779
BTCF is calculated as = ( capital investment + GI - expense incurred )
TI = GI - Expense - Depreciation + Depreciation recapture + capital gain
ATCF = BTCF - taxes
taxes = TI (l)
The future worth of the after-tax cash flow at the end of Year 2

Sandpiper Inc. has a division that manufactures a component that sells for $ 160$160 and has a variable cost of $ 30$30. Another division of the company wants to purchase the component. Fixed cost per unit of the component is $ 20$20. What is the minimum transfer price if the division is operating at capacity?
Answer:
If the division is operating at full capacity and selling all the units that it produces, then it must treat the other division as a normal customer, so the selling price should be the same ($160 per unit). The company is currently making $110 in profits per unit sold (= $160 - $30 - $20 = $110).
If the division sold their products at a lower price, they would be losing money, and no division wants to lose money in order to benefit another division and make them earn higher profits.
If the division was operating below full capacity, then it could sell their products at a lower value.

Answer:
The productivity of the firm = 5
Explanation:
Total number of seats that is assembled in 30 min = 10 seats
Therefore total number of seats assembled in 1 hr = 10 x (60/30) = 20 seats
Total labor hours required for 20 seats = 4 workers x 1hr = 4hrs
The Single-factor productivity = output / labor hours
The Single-factor productivity = 20 seats / 4 hrs
The Single-factor productivity = 5 seats per labor hr

Jay Seago is suing the manufacturer of his car for $3.5 million because of a defect that he believes caused him to have an accident. The accident kept him out of work for a year. The company has offered him a settlement of $700,000, of which Jay would receive $600,000 after attorneys’ fees. His attorney has advised him that he has a 50% chance of winning his case. If he loses, he will incur attorneys’ fees and court costs of $75,000. If he wins, he is not guaranteed his full requested settlement. His attorney believes that there is a 50% chance he could receive the full settlement, in which case Jay would realize $2 million after his attorney takes her cut, and a 50% chance that the jury will award him a lesser amount of $1 million, of which Jay would get $500,000. Using decision tree analysis, decide whether Jay should proceed with his lawsuit against the manufacturer.
Answer:
Since the expected value is higher for not suing ($600,000), then Jay should not sue. The expected value of the best case scenario in case of suing is only $500,000 and in the expected value of the worst case scenario is -$37,500.
Explanation:

Explanation:
Barter in trade, is a term used to describe a system of exchange where goods and services are exchanged for other goods or services directly. It is used most often in international trading, when there is a financial crisis, or when currency is unstable.
Barter is advantageous when money is in short supply, and when traders cannot afford to store a short supply of money, especially during hyperinflation.
However, there are some challenges with barter, which includes:
that both parties might not have what each other need in goods (double coincidence of wants), there is no common measure of value and indivisibility of certain goods when only half the worth is to be exchanged.
In the multiple-step income statement, cost of merchandise sold is subtracted from a.selling expenses. b.sales. c.gross profit. d.operating expenses.
Answer:
b.sales
Explanation:
As we know that
Income statement refers to the statement in which the revenues and the expenses incurred should be recorded
While on the other hand the multiple-step income statement refer to the statement in which there are various level like gross profit, total operating expenses etc
Plus we also know that
Gross profit = Sales - cost of goods sold
Therefore the cost of merchandise should be deducted from sales so that we can find out the gross profit
On January 1, 2021, Avondale Lumber adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method. The inventory value for its one inventory pool on this date was $310,000. An internally generated cost index is used to convert ending inventory to base year. Year-end inventories at year-end costs and cost indexes for its one inventory pool were as follows: Year Ended Inventory Cost Index December 31 Year-End Costs (Relative to Base Year) 2021 $ 408,450 1.05 2022 420,740 1.09 2023 478,500 1.10 2024 513,585 1.13 Required: Calculate inventory amounts at the end of each year
Answer:
Avondale Lumber
Calculation of Inventory Amounts at the end of each year:
= Inventory cost divided by the Index:
2021: = $408,450/1.05 = $389,000
2022: = $420,740/1.09 = $386,000
2023: = $478,500/1.10 = $435,000
2024: = $513,585/1.13 = $454,500
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Year Ended Inventory Cost Index Year-End Costs
(Relative to Base Year)
2021 $ 408,450 1.05 $389,000 (408,450/1.05)
2022 420,740 1.09 $386,000 (420,740/1.09)
2023 478,500 1.10 $435,000 (478,500/1.10)
2024 513,585 1.13 $454,500 (513,585/1.13)
b) The conversion of the ending inventory cost to the base year with an index is obtained by dividing the inventory cost by the index. This gives a cost that is relative to the base year.
If a small electric automobile manufacturer is able to gain the social return generated by its electric motor, its demand for financial capital would
Answer: shift to the left
Explanation:
The social return helps in comparing the value of benefits and the costs to achieving the benefits. The social return is the ratio of net present value of the benefits in comparison to the net present value of the investment or the costs to getting the benefits.
In this case, if a small electric automobile manufacturer is able to gain the social return generated by its electric motor, it would decrease the demand for financial capital which simply means that the demand for financial capital will shift to the left. This shift to the left is as a result of the gain in its social return gotten by the electric motor.

Based on the information given we have 4 Element and 6 Cycle for Element 1,3 and 4 while Element 2 has 3 cycle
First step is sum up each element cycle i.e addition of cycle 1 to cycle 6
Element Cycle 1 Cycle 2 Cycle 3 Cycle 4 Cycle 5 Cycle 6
1. 4.1 +4.0 +4.6 + 4.1 +4.1 + 4.1 = 25
2. - 1.5 - 2.4 - 1.4 =(1.5+2.4+1.4)=5.3
3. 3.2 +3.2 +3.8 +3.2+ 3.3 +3.3= 20
4. 2.7 +3.0 +2.7 +2.8 +2.8+ 2.8 = 16.8
Now let find the Observed time by dividing the figure that was sum up for each of the element by the numbers of cycle that each element has.
OBSERVED TIME
Element Cycle 1 Cycle 2 Cycle 3 Cycle 4 Cycle 5 Cycle 6
1. 4.1 +4.0 +4.6 + 4.1 +4.1 + 4.1 = 25/6= 4.17 Observed time
2. - 1.5 - 2.4 - 1.4 =(1.5+2.4+1.4)=5.3/3=1.77 Observed time
3. 3.2 +3.2 +3.8 +3.2+ 3.3 +3.3= 20/6= 3.33 Observed time
4. 2.7 +3.0 +2.7 +2.8 +2.8+ 2.8 = 16.8/6=2.8 Observed time
The question is about the observed time cycles of 4 given elements.
OT of each cycles will be added together for each element. and divided by total number of cycles for each element.
1 4.1+4.0+4.6+4.1+4.1+4.1 = 25 / 6 = 4.17
2 -1.5 -2.4 -1.4 = 5.3 / 3 = 1.77
3 3.2+3.2+3.8+3.2+3.3+3.3 = 20 / 6 = 3.33
4 2.7+3.0+2.7+2.8+2.8+2.8 = 16.8 / 6 = 2.8
Each elements total cycle OT is added and then it is divided with each elements relevant number of cycles and this as a result provides the answer to the question

1. A complaint of sexual harassment by a part-time worker in a hardware business was upheld when the Tribunal found that the employer had failed to take sufficient action in relation to the employee's report of inappropriate behaviour. The alleged sexual harassment included kissing, touching her breasts and leg, persistent requests to have a drink outside work hours despite an ongoing refusal, asking for cuddles, telephoning her at home and making repeated unsolicited sexual remarks. Based on any four ethical theories, explain how these acts constitute unethical behaviours at the workplace
Answer:
Sexual harassment is an unethical behavior both at or outside workplace and this can be explained using these ethical theories; DEONTOLOGY, UTILITARIANISM, INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER ETHICS, WORKPLACE INDIVIDUAL ETHICS
1. DEONTOLOGY: This ethical theory states that a person's actions are either bad or good depending on sets of rules, actions are morally right if it is in accordance with the rules, rights et cetera. in this case the behavior does not follow any rules and there is no right given to anybody to harass a woman. This theory shows that these acts were unethical.
2. UTILITARIANISM: this theory supports actions and behaviors that brings happiness and joy to others and frowns at actions that brings sadness and unhappiness to people around us. In this case the employee is harassed which makes her unhappy so this theory labels sexual harassment as an unethical behavior.
3. INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER ETHICS: It says that there are certain qualities of a person that determine their ethics, this includes; gratitude, benevolence, respect but in this case the individual has no such traits present in him because of his disrespect towards a woman, so this theory shows how unethical those acts were.
4. WORKPLACE INDIVIDUAL ETHICS: It says that the development or presence of certain traits show the work ethics of an individual and the traits are honor, work pride, trustworthiness but in this case he has proved that there is no such trait present in him so it constitute unethical behavior at workplace.

Since 2003, Walmart has been a proponent of RFID technology, and the company wanted all of its suppliers to make use of RFID technology.The most likely reason that Walmart is supporting this technology is to help them:
Answer:
Explanation:
The most likely reason for Walmart to support this technology is that it will allow them to track and process items from their suppliers at a much more efficient rate. Since RFID technology uses radio waves to read and capture information stored on a tag attached to an object, providing a unique identifier for an object. These unique tags allow each individual item to be tracked throughout the whole process from supplier to warehouse to client. Thus preventing losses and reducing costs.
Dée Trader opens a brokerage account and purchases 300 shares of Internet Dreams at $40 per share. She borrows $4,000 from her broker to help pay for the purchase. The interest rate on the loan is 8%. a. What is the margin in Dée’s account when she first purchases the stock?
Answer:
Margin in Dee's account when she first purchase the stock is $8,000

1. Increase unit selling price 20% with no change in costs, expenses, and sales volume.
2. Change the compensation of salespersons from fixed annual salaries totaling $150,000 to total salaries of $60,000 plus a 5% commission on sales.
Required:
a. Compute the break-even point in dollars for 2017. (Round final answer to 0 decimal places.)
b. Compute the contribution margin under each of the alternative courses of action. (Round final answer to 0 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
a. Here we will follow some steps to reach break-even point in dollars for 2017 is shown below:-
Step 1
Selling price per unit = Sales ÷ Number of units
= $2,752,500 ÷ $550,500
= $5
Step 2
Variable cost per unit = Total of variable ÷ Number of units
= $1,750,000 ÷ $550,500
= $3
Step 3
Contribution margin ratio = (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ÷ Selling price per unit
= ($5 - 3) ÷ $5
= 0.4
and finally
Break even point in dollars = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= $850,000 ÷ 0.4
= $2,125,000
b. As per the situation the solution of contribution margin under each of the alternative courses of action is below:-
According to the 1 alternative
Selling price per unit = $5 × 1.20
= $6
Contribution margin ratio = (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ÷ Selling price per unit
= ($6 - 3) ÷ $6
= 0.5
or
= 50%
According to the 2 alternative
Variable cost per unit = $3 + $5 × 5%
= $3.25
Contribution margin ratio = (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ÷ Selling price per unit
= ($5 - $3.25) ÷ $5
= 0.35
or

The current exchange rate is AUD/JPY = 90 (i.e., 1 Australian Dollar (AUD) is worth 90 Japanese Yen (JPY)). The current interest rates in Australia and Japan are 3% p.a. and 0.5% p.a., respectively.Given this information, please answer the following questions. Please label your answers according to parts.(a) Given that Australian Dollar is the domestic currency, what is the direct quote of the exchange rate between Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen ? Please round the final answer to five decimal places.(b) What is the theoretical current forward exchange rate quoted directly in terms of Australian Dollar (i.e. JPY/AUD) for delivery three months from today ? Show your input to the formula to arrive at the final answer. Please round the final answer to five decimal places.(c) How can the firm take advantage of any decreases in the exchange rate and also ensure that it receives at least Australian $2 million ? (Hint: Which derivative instrument can be used to achieve this objective?(d) Ignoring the cost of the derivative instrument to be used in part (c), what would be the outcome from hedging if the spot exchange rate in 3 month’s time is (i) AUD/JPY=150 and (ii) AUD/JPY = 50?
Answer:
An Australian Firm Selling to a Japanese Customer
a) Direct Quote of the Exchange Rate between Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen:
A$ 1 = ¥90
Meaning 1 Australian Dollar = 90 Japanese Yen.
Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90
b)Theoretical Current Forward Exchange Rate, quoted in terms of JPY/AUD for delivery in three months:
= Spot Rate x (1 + Japanese Interest Rate) / (1 + Australian Interest Rate) x 360/90
= ¥90 x (1 +0.005) / (1 +0.03) x 360/90 = ¥90 x 1.005/1.03 x 360/90
= ¥351.26214 =A$1
c) The Australian firm can take advantage of any decreases in the exchange rate and also ensure that it receives at least Australian $2 million by entering into a Currency Forwards Contract.
d) If the spot exchange rate in 3 month's time is:
(i) AUD/JPY=150, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the gain of:
Forward Exchange outcome in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥150 =
A$ 1,333,333.33333
Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome
A$2 million - A$ 1,333,333.33333 = A$666,666.66667
(ii) AUD/JPY = 50, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the loss of:
Forward Exchange outcome = in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥50 =
A$4 million
Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome
A$2 million - $4 million = -A$2million
Explanation:
a) Currency forwards contracts and future contracts are used to hedge the currency risk. For example, a company expecting to receive ¥200 million in 90 days, can enter into a forward contract to deliver the ¥200 million and receive equivalent Australian dollars in 90 days at an exchange rate specified today.
b) If A$ 1 = ¥90
Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90 in Australian Dollars.

Mark writes a check to Sally, intending to use it to pay Sally for babysitting Mark's daughter next week. Sally arrives at Mark's house for a visit, and while Mark is in the bathroom, Sally discovers the check on Mark's desk and takes it. She endorses the check over to Bob in exchange for a used tennis racket. Mark ends up not hiring Sally to babysit. When he discovers the check is missing, he stops payment on it. Bob sues Mark to enforce payment of the check. Which of the following statements is true? a. Mark must pay Bob the amount of the check b. Mark could assert the defense of fraud in the inducement against Bob c. Mark can assert the defense of lack of delivery against Bob d. Mark can assert the defense of failure of consideration against Bob
Answer:
Bob sues Mark to enforce payment of the check
d. Mark can assert the defense of failure of consideration against Bob.
Explanation:
Failure of consideration means that there was no consideration since intended contract between Mark and Sally which would have established the consideration upon Sally's performance was frustrated. The contract did not take effect. It is an established point in contract law that there must be consideration for a contract to be valid and enforceable. Since the contract was not finalized and no performance of consideration was carried out by Sally, she had no legal right to collect Mark's check and endorse it to Bob.
Moreover, any potential contract would have been between Bob and Sally and not Mark. So, Mark can plead failure of consideration in the relationship between him and Sally, thus rendering the check's endorsement to a third party, null and void.

Answer:
There is demand for and supply of dollars and a demand for and supply of pesos. Under a flexible exchange rate system, if income growth in the United States is greater than income growth in Mexico, then the dollar would increase its value over the peso.
Explanation:
Given that in the situation in question the quantities supplied and demanded of both currencies remain stable, in principle there should be no valuation of one over the other for reasons of supply and demand.
Now, since the economic growth in the United States that sustains the value of the dollar is greater than that growth in Mexico that sustains the value of the peso, the greater the value of the dollar in international markets. This will necessarily imply a higher valuation of the American currency, which will widen the gap in the exchange rate with respect to the peso, which instead will remain stable in global markets.
If the straight-line depreciation method is used, the annual average investment amount used in calculating the accounting rate of return is calculated as (beginning book value + ending book value)/2.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
The answer is true
Explanation:
Accounting Rate of Return is a financial ratio used in capital budgeting decision making. It is the ratio of estimated accounting profit(net income) of a project to the average investment made in the project.
And average investment is calculated as the sum of the beginning and ending book value of the project/investment divided by 2
Depreciation is termed as the phase of the value of the assets when they keep on decreasing year by year or monthly. It is caused due to the overutilization of the assets for the production function of the firm.
The correct answer is true
An Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) is a financial ratio that is used to make capital budgeting decisions. It is the ratio of a project's estimated retained earnings (retained earnings) to a project's average investment.
Investment is equal to the sum of the project/initial investments and ending book values divided by two.
