The question is incomplete:
After the meeting to address how to handle a competitor that the group fears is about to take considerable market share from the company, Terry learns that the competitor is actually laying off workers and is not likely to be the threat they thought it was. Terry decides not to tell the others about this development because the group was very confident in the decisions it made about how to better compete.
-Groupthink
-Mindguard
-Nominal Group Technique
Answer:
-Mindguard
Explanation:
-Groupthink is when a group get to an agreement without considering the consequences of the decision to avoid affecting the balance that the group has reached.
-Mindguard is when a person in the group gives limited information that can cause doubts to maintain the idea the group has.
-Nominal Group Technique is a method in which everyone is encouraged to provide ideas that are evaluated and chosen as a group to get to a quick agreement.
According to this, the answer is that this exemplifies mindguard because Terry is acting as a filter by not providing the information he knows to allow that the decisions that the group made are not affected as he doesn't want to damage the confidence the group has.

The question is incomplete:
The federal government has asked how your company plans to reduce pollution in your metropolitan area. You decide to organize a team (members from different departments) to handle the government's request. To increase a sense of empowerment, what should you do?
A) Have them generate ideas for you to decide
B) Treat them as a suggestion team and have them teach each other their job
C) Allow them to make the decision but tell them that you will handle how the decision will be implemented
D) Allow them to make the decision and implement the solution as well
Answer:
D) Allow them to make the decision and implement the solution as well
Explanation:
Empowerment means to provide employees certin autonomy and giving them the resources to handle their projects. According to this, the answer is that to increase a sense of empowerment, you should allow them to make the decision and implement the solution as well as you will be allowing the employees to have the responsability to handle a task completely.
The other options are not right because when the supervisor maintains certain power to make decisions, employees don't increase the sense of empowerment as they are not able to handle the request by themselves.
Medeco sold goods for $100 to a charge customer. The customer returned for credit $25 worth of goods. Terms of the sale were 1/10,n/30. If the customer pays the amount owed within the discount period, what is the amount the customer should pay?
Answer: $74.25
Explanation:
Sale price of goods = $100
Worth of returned goods = $25
Term of sale = 1/10, n/30
Price if customer pays within the discount period equals :
Term of sale: 1% discount on price if the amount owed is paid within 10 days, else full amount is due in 30 days.
Actual price of goods purchased :
Goods purchased - worth of return
$100 - $25 = $75
Discount on price = 1% of $75
(1/ 100) × $75
0.01 × $75 = $0.75
Amount customer should pay:
$75 - $0.75 = $74.25

A company pays an employee $3,000 for a five-day work week, monday–friday. the adjusting entry on december 31, which is a wednesday, is a debit to wages expense, $1,800, and a credit to wages payable, $1,800. true
Answer: True
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that a company pays an employee $3,000 for a five-day work week from Monday to Friday. This means that the employee receives a daily payment of ($3,000/5) = $600.
On Wednesday which is the third day, he will be paid ($600 × 3) = $1800. Therefore , the adjusting entry on December 31, which falls on a Wednesday will be to debit the wages expense, $1,800, and then credit to wages payable of $1,800.
Brodrick Company expects to produce 20,000 units for the year ending December 31. A flexible budget for 20,000 units of production reflects sales of $400,000; variable costs of $80,000; and fixed costs of $150,000. If the company instead produces and sells 26,000 units for the year, calculate the expected level of income from operations.
Answer:
For 20,000 units, we have 170,000
For 26,000 units, we have 266,000
Explanation:
Here, we are to calculate the expected level of income from operations.
Formulas that can come in handy from the table are;
Variable amount per unit = sales/number of units
contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost
Income from operations = Contribution margin - fixed cost

On April 30, Jemison Engineering receives a special order for a swing set to be delivered to the customer in a month's time. Jemison purchases a number of items specifically for the construction of the swing set: lumber, chains, railings and paint. According to the matching concept, when will Jemison Engineering record the cost of those special items as a cost of goods sold expense?
Answer:
When they record the sales revenue related to this special order.
Explanation:
The matching principle of accounting states that you must record revenue and all related COGS at the same time, i.e. when Jamison Engineering records sales revenue, they also must record COGS associated to the sales. Accrual accounting establishes that you cannot record COGS at a prior or later date.

Compute gross profit earned by the company for each of the four costing methods. For specific identification, the March 9 sale consisted of 135 units from beginning inventory and 265 units from the March 5 purchase; the March 29 sale consisted of 115 units from the March 18 purchase and 155 units from the March 25 purchase.
Answer:
gross profit:
under FIFO = $21,040under LIFO = $17,930under weighted average = $19,539.79under specific identification = $19,655Explanation:
Some information was missing, so I looked it up:
Date Activities Units Acquired Units Sold at Retail
Mar. 1 Beginning inv. 230 units at $53.60
Mar. 5 Purchase 290 units at $58.60
Mar. 9 Sales 400 units at $88.60
Mar. 18 Purchase 150 units at $63.60
Mar/ 25 Purchase 280 units at $65.60
Mar. 29 Sales 270 units at 90.60
Totals 950 units 670 units
ending inventory = 280 units
so COGS:
under FIFO = (230 x $53.60) + (290 x $58.60) + (150 x $63.60) = $38,862
under LIFO = (280 x $65.60) + (150 x $63.60) + (240 x $58.60) = $41,972
under weighted average = ($57,230 / 950) x 670 = $40,362.21
under specific identification = (135 x $53.60) + (265 x $58.60) + (115 x $63.60) + (155 x $65.60) = $40,247
total revenue = (400 x $88.60) + (270 x $90.60) = $35,440 + $24,462 = $59,902
gross profit:
under FIFO = $59,902 - $38,862 = $21,040
under LIFO = $59,902 - $41,972 = $17,930
under weighted average = $59,902 - $40,362.21 = $19,539.79
under specific identification = $59,902 - $40,247 = $19,655
Q 11.35: Felix Incorporated has just exchanged 1,250 shares of $65 par-value preferred stock for a parcel of land advertised for a price of $90,000. If the current market value of the stock is $75 per share, how should Felix journalize this transaction
Answer:
Felix Incorporated
Exchange of Preferred Stock for Land:
Journal Entries:
Debit Land $90,000
Credit Preferred Stock $81,250
Credit Additional Paid-in Capital - Preferred Stock $8,750
To record the issue of 1,250 of $65 par-value preferred stock for land with a fair price of $90,000.
Explanation:
Felix Incorporated will debit Land with the fair price of $90,000 and Credit the Preferred Stock account with $81,250 (1,250 x $65) at par-value. The difference between the fair price of land and the preferred stock at par-value is credited to additional paid-in capital account for preferred stock. Felix Incorporated cannot take into account the current market value of the stock at $75 in its accounting records. The current share price of $75 is for the benefit of investors, and can only serve as basis for Felix Incorporated to decide transactions with potential investors.

In a situation where a succession management is not in place or effective , the death of a leader causes a major setback to the business as can be seen in the question.
Production estimates for August are as follows: Estimated inventory (units), August 1 12,000 Desired inventory (units), August 31 9,000 Expected sales volume (units), August 75,000 For each unit produced, the direct materials requirements are as follows: Material A ($5 per lb.) 3 lbs. Material B ($18 per lb.) 1/2 lb. The number of pounds of Materials A and B required for August production is a. 225,000 lbs. of A; 37,500 lbs. of B b. 234,000 lbs. of A; 39,000 lbs. of B c. 216,000 lbs. of A; 36,000 lbs. of B d. 216,000 lbs. of A; 72,000 lbs. of B
Answer: C) 216,000 lbs. of A; 36,000 lbs. of B
Explanation:
Given the following :
Estimated inventory (units), August 1, = 12,000 Desired inventory (units), August 31, = 9,000
Expected sales volume (units) = 75,000
Direct material requirement:
Material A ($5 per lb.) = 3 lbs
Material B ($18 per lb.) = 1/2 lbs
The number of pounds of material A and B required for August production :
Unit of product required for August production :
Expected sales volume + Ending inventory(August 31) - beginning inventory (August 1)
= 75000 + 9000 - 12000
84000 - 12000 = 72,000
Number of pounds required ;
Total Production unit × pounds per unit required
Material A:
72,000 × 3 = 216,000 pounds
Material B:
72,000 × (1/2) = 36,000 pounds

A key concept in this context is that of the opportunity cost of leisure. How is this concept best explained
Answer:
The summary including its perceived task is demonstrated in the following segment on the interpretation.
Explanation:
The further you pay, then you pass up to make a change from generating income. This would be called opportunity cost since taking a short break is losing the chance to go somewhere else (i.e. gain further extra cash).This is much less the continuation of something like a withheld opportunity than that of the recovery on the alternative you picked.Dave and Ellen are newly married and living in their first house. The yearly premium on their homeowner's insurance policy is $450 for the coverage they need. Their insurance company offers a 5 percent discount if they install dead-bolt locks on all exterior doors. The couple can also receive a 2 percent discount if they install smoke detectors on each floor. They have contacted a locksmith, who will provide and install dead-bolt locks on the two exterior doors for $50 each. At the local hardware store, smoke detectors cost $7 each, and the new house has two floors. Dave and Ellen can install them themselves.
a. How many years will it take Dave and Ellen to earn back in discounts the cost of the dead-bolts?
b. How many years will it take Dave and Ellen to earn back in discounts the cost of the smoke detectors?
c.Would you recommend Dave and Ellen invest in the safety items, if they plan to stay in that house for about 5 years?
Answer:
1.Annual discount for dead-bolts $22.50
Recovery period 4.44 years
2.Annual discount for smoke alarms $9.00
Recovery period 1.5 years
3. Yes
Explanation:
1. Calculation for the years it will take Dave and Ellen to earn back the cost of the dead-bolts
a. We were going to calculate for the Annual discount for dead-bolts using this formula Annual discount for dead bolts =Discount percent × Annual premium
Let plug in the formula
Annual discount for dead-bolts =0.05 × $450
Annual discount for dead-bolts =$22.50
b. We are to find Recovery period using this formula Recovery period=Cost of dead bolts / Annual discount for dead-bolts
Let plug in the formula
Recovery period= (2 × $50) / $22.50
Recovery period=100/$22.50
Recovery period= 4.44years
2. Calculation for the years it will take Dave and Ellen to earn back the cost of the smoke detectors
a. We are going to calculate for the Annual discount for smoke alarms using this formula Annual discount for smoke alarms =Discount percent × Annual premium
Let plug in the formula
Annual discount for smoke alarms =0.02 × $450
Annual discount for smoke alarms =$9.00
b. We are going to find the Recovery period using this formula Recovery period=Cost of smoke alarms / Annual discount for smoke alarms
Let plug in the formula
Recovery period=(2 × $7) / $9.00
Recovery period=14/$9.00
Recovery period= 1.5 years
3. Yes I Would recommend both Dave and Ellen to invest in the safety items, if they plan to stay in that house for about 5 years as they should recover most of their costs within the planned tenancy of the house and for their personal safety they should install the items regardless of all the recovery time period.
Claremont Company specializes in selling refurbished copiers. During the month, the company sold 180 copiers at an average price of $3,000 each. The budget for the month was to sell 175 copiers at an average price of $3,200. The expected total sales for 180 copiers were.
Answer:
$576,000
Explanation:
Since the company sold 180 copiers, each at $3,000
175 budgeted for the month was sold at $3,200
Therefore, we sum the above
$3,000 + $3,200
=$6,200
Also, multiply the above outcome with the actual copiers sold
$6,200× 180
=$1,116,000
Therefore; to get the expected total sales for 180 copiers;
$3,000 × 180
=$540,000
Then
=$1,116,000- $540,000
=$576,000

Explanation:
A firm is issuing new debt to finance some capital investment project. The firm will issue 20,000 new $1,000 face-value bonds that will mature in 20 years. The bonds have a coupon rate of 8% and are currently priced at par. The flotation costs that are associated with this new bond issue are expected to be $10 per bond. Further, the company has a marginal tax rate of 34%. Given this information, the before-tax cost of debt is _______________.
Answer:
8.09%
Explanation:
the coupon paid by each bond = $1,000 x 8% = $80
the net amount of money received from each bond = $990
n = 20
now we must find the yield to maturity:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = {$80 + [($1,000 - $990)/20]} / [($1,000 + $990)/2] = $80.50 / $995 = 0.0809 = 8.09%

"A 5 year 3 1/2% Treasury Note is quoted at 98-4 - 98-9. The note pays interest on Jan 1st and Jul 1st. A customer buys 5M of the notes. Approximately how much will the customer pay, disregarding commissions and accrued interest?"
Answer:
$4,914.06
Explanation:
Calculation for how much will the customer pay by disregarding commissions and accrued interest
The 5M which the customers used to buy the notes means that the customer is buying $5,000 par value of the notes.
Take note that the capital letter M in Latin means for $1,000.
Therefore the customer will have to buy at the ask price of 98 and (9/32nds =0.28125) which means that 98%+0.28125 will gives us 98.28127.
Now let calculate for how much will the customer pay by disregarding commissions and accrued interest
98.28125% * $5,000 par
= $4,914.06
Therefore the amount that the customer pay by disregarding commissions and accrued interest will be $4,914.06
