Answer: $2
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that an investor purchases a stock for $38 and a put for $.50 with a strike price of $35 and that the investor sells a call for $.50 with a strike price of $40.
The maximum profit for this position will be the purchase price of the stock deducted from the strike price of call option. This will be:
= $40 - $38
= $2

August 2021 Ending Inventory & Cost of Goods Sold:
1. Ending Inventory = 9,000 units at $5.88 per unit = $52,920
2. Cost of goods sold =
9,600 x $5.87 = $56,352
7,000 x $5.95 = $41,650
16,600 units = $98,002
Explanation:
a) Calculations:
Units Unit Cost Total Cost
Beginning Inventory 2,000 $5.70 $11,400
Purchases 12,000 $5.90 $70,800
Weighted average cost = ($11,400 + $70,800) / 14,000 = $5.87
Sales (9,600) $12.00 $115,200
Units remaining 4,400 $5.87 $25,828
Purchases 7,200 $6.00 $43,200
Weighted average cost = ($25,828 + $43,200) / 11,600 = $5.95
Sales (7,000) $11.40 $79,800
Units remaining 4,600 $5.95 $27,370
Purchases 4,400 $5.80 $25,520
Weighted average cost = ($27,370 + $25,520) / 9,000 = $5.88
Ending Inventory 9,000 $5.88 $52,920
b) The 'Average Cost Method' or the Weighted Average Cost Method assumes that the cost of inventory is based on the average cost of the goods available for sale during the period. To compute the average cost, divide the total cost of goods available for sale by the total units available for sale.
The company is currently selling 6,500 units per month. Fixed expenses are $184,000 per month. The marketing manager believes that a $7,800 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 190 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?
Answer:
$14,050
Explanation:
Calculation of what should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
Contribution Income Statement
6,500 units 6,690 units
Sales (at $190 per unit)$1,235,000 $1,271,100
Variable expenses (at $75 per unit)
$487,500 $501,750
Contribution margin$747,500 $ 769,350
Fixed expenses ($7,800 increase)
$184,000 $191,800
Net operating income$563,500 $577,550
6,500 units+190 unit increase in monthly sales=6,690
Fixed expenses ($7,800 increase)
$184,000 +$7,800$= $191,800
Net operating income$563,500 -$577,550 =$14,050
Therefore Net operating income would increase by $14,050
Dechert's camera fails to focus properly so he takes the camera to a camera store that sells new and used cameras and also repairs them. When Dechert returns to the store a week later to pick up the camera it is not found. It turns out after the camera was fixed a dishonest employee sold it to a customer who came in to buy a used camera. If Dechert finds out the name of the customer who bought the camera can he recover it from the customer?
Answer: No.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Dechert's camera fails to focus properly, therefore he takes the camera to a camera store that sells new and used cameras and also repairs them. He later returns to the store to pick up the camera it is not found and he later found out that after the camera was fixed, a dishonest employee sold it to a customer who came in to buy a used camera.
Even if Dechert finds out the name of the customer who bought the camera, he cannot recover it from the customer because this is an exception to the rule of law whereby it is stated that a legal title cannot be transferred to a property by a thief. Because the store sold both used and new cameras, the store has the power to give out Dechert's title to someone who purchases in an ordinary course of the said business.
is (R$), has been trading at R$3.40/US$. Exports to Brazil are currently 50,000 printers per year at the reais-equivalent of $200 each. A rumor exists that the reais will be devalued to R$4.00/$ within two weeks by the Brazilian government. Should the deva
Answer:
Some information was missing, so I looked it up:
Should the devaluation take place, the reais is expected to remain unchanged for another decade.
Accepting this forecast as given, DP faces a pricing decision which must be made before any actual devaluation: DP may either 1) maintain the same reais price and in effect sell for fewer dollars, in which case Brazilian volume will not change or 2) maintain the same dollar price, raise the reais price in Brazil to compensate for the devaluation, and experience a 20% drop in volume. Direct costs in the U.S. are 60% of the U.S. sales price.
What would be the short-run (one-year) implication of each pricing strategy? Which do you recommend?
In the short run:
if you decide to keep the current price in reais, then your contribution margin per unit will decrease from $80 to $50. Total contribution from sales to Brazil will reduce from $4,000,000 to $2,500,000.
If you decide to increase the price in reais, then your contribution margin per unit will remain at $80, but your total sales will fall to 40,000. Total contribution margin from sales to Brazil will reduce from $4,000,000 to $3,200,000
Personally, I would recommend increasing the price since operating profits will reduce in a smaller proportion.
What do you see as the major deficiencies current information systems budgeting and prioritization processes are run
Answer:
The major challenges with the current information systems budgeting and prioritisation process are:
The focus was overly on how the budgeted monies will be spent and how much return it will bring to the business. Not much thought was given to how the monies required for the expenses will be generated. Budgeting not only looks at the outflow, it examines existing and potential sources of income/revenue. When this is balanced, the company can integrate such into their marketing strategy armed with what information about the market that they possess.The prioritization is all wrong. Budgeting is because there is are organisational objectives to be met with limited resources.
Because those resources are limited, the said objectives have to be prioritized. Income-generating projects must hold more priority over non-revenue generating activities.
If there is a strategic link between the company's Information Systems upgrade and an increase in its bottom line, then it must be given priority.

Cost of Goods Sold Pine Creek Company completed 200,000 units during the year at a cost of $3,000,000. The beginning finished goods inventory was 25,000 units at $310,000. Determine the cost of goods sold for 210,000 units, assuming a FIFO cost flow. $
Answer:
$3,085,000
Explanation:
FIFO means first in first out. It means it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
The costs of goods sold would first be allocated to the beginning inventory = $310,000
The remaining cost of goods sold Je allocated to the inventory made during the year = 210,000 - 25,000 = 185,000
185,000 × ( $3,000,000 / $200,000) = $2,775,000
Total cost of goods sold = $2,775,000 + $310,000 = $3,085,000

What is the initial investment outlay for the spectrometer, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow
Answer:
$215,000
Explanation:
this question is not complete. here is the full question :
New project analysis-- You must evaluate a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $180,000, and it would cost another $27,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $90,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require an $8,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $79,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%.*********** What is the initial investment outlay for the spectrometer, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow?
the initial cash outlay = cost of the spectrometer + net working capital
cost of the spectrometer = base price + cost of modification
$180,000 + $27,000 = $207,000
$207,000 + $8,000 = $215,000

Easter Egg and Poultry Company has $1,040,000 in assets and $649,000 of debt. It reports net income of $120,000. a. What is the firm’s return on assets? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) b. What is its return on stockholders’ equity? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) c. If the firm has an asset turnover ratio of 4 times, what is the profit margin (return on sales)? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
A. 11.54%
B. 30.69%
C. 2.88
Explanation:
Return on assets = net income/ total assets
= $120,000 / $1,040,000 = 0.115385 = 11.54%
Return on equity = net income/ total equity
Total equity = total assets - liabilities = $1,040,000 - $649,000 = $391,000
$120,000 / $391,000 = 0.3069 = 30.69%
Profit margin = gross profit/ revenue
Asset turnover = revenue / total asset
4 = revenue / $1,040,000
Revenue = $4,160,000
Profit margin = $120,000 / $4,160,000 = 0.0288 = 2.88

Your client is an attorney. Her new admin is just learning how to use QuickBooks Online. The Automatically create invoices and don't notify me setting is on. The attorney charges her clients for copies made. These should have been entered using delayed charges, but the admin did not know that, and they were not entered into QuickBooks Online. What is the risk/danger of the new office admin person not entering the copies made in the Delayed Charges? 1. Job costs for this client will be reduced 2. There is no risk. Invoices will go out just fine 3. The attorney's clients will be undercharged 4. Photocopy expense will be understated
Answer:
3. The attorney's clients will be undercharged
Explanation:
Since the QuickBooks Online is set to "automatically create invoices" and clients are charged for copies made. The only missing link is that the charges to clients have not been entered into the Delayed charges, which will capture the expenses on photocopy. Therefore, "the risk/danger of the new office admin person not entering the copies made in the Delayed Charges" is that "the attorney's clients will be undercharged."
Panda Company is owned equally by Min, her husband, Bin, her sister Xiao, and her grandson, Han, each of whom hold 100 shares in the company. Under the family attribution rules, how many shares of Panda stock is Min deemed to own
Answer:
300 shares
Explanation:
Based on Family attribution rules the rules often requires that the family attribution should occur between parents, their children and grandchildren, regardless of their age.
But based on the information given in which Panda Company is owned equally by Min, her husband, Bin, her sister Xiao, and her grandson, Han in which each of them hold 100 shares in the company which means Under the family attribution rules we would excludes Min sister Xiao from the shares.
Hence, the shares of Panda stock that Min is deemed to own will be:
Min +husband Bin + her grandson Han =3 individual
100 shares ×3=300 shares
Therefore Under the family attribution rules, 300 shares of Panda stock is what Min is deemed to own
Cambridge Manufacturing Company applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine hours. At the beginning of the year, the company estimated its total overhead cost to be $325,000 and machine hours to be 25,000. Actual manufacturing overhead and machine hours were $372,000 and 26,000, respectively.
Required:1.Compute the predetermined overhead rate
Compute applied manufacturing overhead.
Compute over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead.
Answer:
Under/over applied overhead= $34,000 underapplied
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
At the beginning of the year, the company estimated its total overhead cost to be $325,000 and machine hours to be 25,000. Actual manufacturing overhead and machine hours were $372,000 and 26,000, respectively.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 325,000/25,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $13 per machine-hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 13*26,000= $338,000
Finally, we determine the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 372,000 - 338,000
Under/over applied overhead= $34,000 underapplied
Identify and analyze a department in your organization that experiences frequent equipment or process failures. If you are not currently associated with an organization, conduct an Internet search or use the Hunt Library resource to find a firm. Discuss what the organization can do to improve the reliability of the equipment or processes and whether some of the improvement could come through enhanced maintenance.
Answer:
Find the explanation below.
Explanation:
The name of my organization is Prime Plc. known for the production of confectionaries. The Production Department in my organization has been experiencing frequent equipment failures quite recently. A close investigation showed that the delays were caused by a breakdown of the sugar mills, mixers and, coating machines. This has resulted in delays in the production process. To improve these failures, I believe that the organization should:
1. Employ Technicians who can quickly carry out repair work on these machines when they breakdown instead of outsourcing the repair work for this would take a longer amount of time to get the machines up and running.
2. Introduce the periodic maintenance of these machines. Machines are subject to wear and tear, so I would suggest that the maintenance of these machines is carried out within intervals of three months.
3. Train the production personnel on the proper usage of these machines. Production personnel should be updated on current and effective ways of handling machines so as to guarantee their safety and longer use.
4. Make provisions for backup machinery and equipment. The organization would do well to purchase backup equipment especially for machines that the organization cannot do without so that in the event of an equipment failure, the production process would not be stalled.
When these measures are considered, there would be a significant improvement in the production department.

(for psychology)
Answer:
•Discovery
• Data
• Analyze
• Ethical
Explanation:
• Discovery . Here, there are observations of events or actions which bring about new knowledge that will be further exposed to new hypothesis.
• Data . Raw data(qualitative- non numerical and quantitative -numerical) are collected in this stage and then processed to become information.
• Analyze . This is a stage where the processed data and information are analyzed. It is where the data are cleaned, inspected, transformed and then modeled with the aim of making meaningful insights, drawing conclusion and then support further decision making.
• Ethical. In this stage, researchers check to determine whether their procedures are ethical or not. This is where the data analysed are checked whether they conform with the correct rule of conduct.

Answer:
a. A reduction in business property taxes.
MC - No Change
AVC - No Change
AFC - Shift down
ATC - Shift down
Because business property taxes are a fixed cost, a reduction of this type would shift down bouth the AFC and ATC cost curves.
b. An increase in the nominal wages of production workers.
MC - Shift up
AVC - Shift up
AFC - No Change
ATC - Shift up
Production workers are direct labor, and as direct labor, their cost depends on the level of production. In other words, the wages of production workers are a variable cost, and an increase in their nominal wages would shift up the AVC, and the ATC.
The MC curve would shift up as well because now each additional unit of input (the production workers), becomes more expensive due to the wage increase.
c. A decrease in the price of electricity.
MC - Shift down
AVC - Shift down
AFC - Shift down
ATC - Shift down
Electricity can be both a fixed cost, and a variable cost. For example, the electricity used in the administrative offices is a fixed cost, while the electricity used to power machinery is a variable cost. As a result, a reduction in the price of it would shift down all the cost curves.
d. An increase in insurance rates on plant and equipment.
MC - No Change
AVC - No Change
AFC - Shift up
ATC - Shift up
Insurance rates on plant and equipment are a fixed cost, for this reason, an increase in the rates would shift up both the AFC and the ATC.
e. An increase in transportation costs.
MC - No Change
AVC - Shift up
AFC - No Change
ATC - Shift up
Transportation costs are mostly a variable cost: the more output, the more goods have to be delivered, the higher the transportation costs. An increase in these costs would shift up both the AVC and the ATC curves.
At the beginning of the year, Bryers Incorporated reports inventory of $7,300. During the year, the company purchases additional inventory for $22,300. At the end of the year, the cost of inventory remaining is $9,300. Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer:
$20,300
Explanation:
beginning inventory $7,300
purchases during the year $22,300
ending inventory $9,300
cost of goods sold = beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory = $7,300 + $22,300 - $9,300 = $20,300
When you use a periodic inventory system, you calculate COGS using the previous formula, but if you use a perpetual inventory system, COGS are calculated for every individual sale.
Journalizing and posting an adjusting entry for accrued salaries expense
Birch Park Senior Center has a weekly payroll of $12,500. December 31 falls on Wednesday, and Birch Park Senior Center will pay its employees the following Monday (January 5) for the previous full week. Assume Birch Park Senior Center has a five-day workweek and has an unadjusted balance in Salaries Expense of $620,000.
Requirements
1. Record the adjusting entry for accrued salaries on December 31.
2. Post the adjusting entry to the accounts involved, and show their balances after adjustments.
3. Record the journal entry for payment of salaries made on January 5.
Answer:
1. Debit Salaries expense $7,500
Credit Accrued Salaries $7,500
2. Balance in Accrued salaries is $7,500
Balance in Salaries expense is $627,500
3. Debit Salaries expense $5,000
Debit Accrued Salaries $7,500
Credit Cash $12,500
Being entries to recognize the payment of salaries
Explanation:
When an expense is incurred but yet to be paid, it is recognized with a corresponding entry posted into an accrued expense account (this shows the entity has a liability).
If the weekly payroll expense is $12,500 then the daily rate is
= $12,500/5 (for 5 work day week)
= $2,500
If December 31 falls on a Wednesday, it means that an expense (payroll) has been incurred for 3 days. This expense amounts to
= 3 * $2,500
= $7,500
This will be recognized as a debit to Salaries expense and a credit to accrued expense.
The balance in Salaries expense will be
= $620,000 + $7,500
= $627,500
The remaining expense that will be further incurred at the end of the week
= $12,500 - $7,500
= $5,000
When payment is made, the liability is cleared

asyFind manufactures and sells golf balls. The company is conducting a price test to find a better price point. Presently their golf balls sell for $21 per dozen. Their current volume is 4,250 dozen per month. They are considering reducing their sales price by 24% per dozen. What % increase in unit sales is necessary to achieve the same level of total contribution?
Answer:
%variation= 31.58% increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per dozen= $21
Sales in units= 4,250
They are considering reducing their sales price by 24% per dozen.
First, we need to determine the actual total contribution:
Total contribution= 21*4,250= $89,250
Now, with the new selling price, the percentage variation in sales units:
Selling price= 21*0.76= $15.96
89,250= 15.96*units
5,592= units
Percentage:
%variation= [(5,592/4,250) - 1]*100= 31.58%

Ruby is 25 and has a good job at a biotechnology company. She currently has $11,400 in an IRA, an important part of her retirement nest egg. She believes her IRA will grow at an annual rate of 9 percent, and she plans to leave it untouched until she retires at age 65. Ruby estimates that she will need $875,000 in her total retirement nest egg by the time she is 65 in order to have retirement income of $20,000 a year (she expects that Social Security will pay her an additional $15,000 a year).How much will Ruby's IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires?
Answer:
$ 358,063
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that Ruby's IRA will be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires.
Ruby's IRA worth when she retires at age of 65
First step
Using this formula to find how many years until Ruby retires
Time period= Retired age (-) current age
Let plug in the formula
65-25=40 years
Second step is to find the future value of IRA when she retires
Using this formula
Future value of IRA when she retires
= Present value(1+r)t
Let plug in the formula
$ 11,400 (1+0.09) ^40
=$11,400 (1.09) ^40
=$ 11,400 (31.409)
= $ 358,063
Therefore the amout that Ruby's IRA will be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires will be $358,063
