Analysis of a company's financial statements: Below are simplified versions of the balance sheet and income statement for Toys by Tom, Inc. Use this information to answer the following question. A 15% increase in inventory turns for Toys by Tom, Inc. would bring this ratio to ____, suggesting ________ in ________.
Answers
Answer: 3.9 times; an improvement; efficiency
Explanation:
Inventory turns is calculated by the formula:
= COGS / Inventory
= 8.4 / 2.50
= 3.36
Increased by 15%:
= 3.36 * (1 + 15%)
= 3.864
= 3.9 times
Inventory turns is used to show how often the inventory was sold in a period. A higher ratio therefore presents increased efficiency and is desired.

1. Friedman distinguishes between the two concepts that (a) businesses really do act in ways to maximize profit and (b) businesses have a moral responsibility (or, as he puts it, a social responsibility) to act to maximize profit. How does he defend the latter position? (See both the Friedman and Sandbu readings)
Answers
Explanation:
Friedman defends the position that companies have a social responsibility to act to maximize profit, in the sense that, the primary function of companies is to generate profit. The author goes against the growing opinions in society that companies must have social responsibility, that is, they need to create a positive and sensitive corporate image to please political and society interests and counter or even soften the words and actions its central purpose, which is profit generation. For him, social responsibility cannot be politicized in order to be an obligation of companies, as it limits freedom and interests arising from the business.

The amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method is (calculate all ratios and percentages to 2 decimal places, for example 33.33%, and round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar): $2,213,640. $939,240. $216,870. $757,800. $447,120.
Answers
Answer:
$2,213,640
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method
First step is to calculate the total amount
DBB-1= 16,000 units *$25
DBB-1= 400,000
DBB-2= 24,000 units *$35
DBB-2= 840,000
DBB-2= 36,000 units *$55
DBB-2= 1,980,000
Total =3,220,000
(400,000+840,000+1,980,000)
Second step is to calculate the Weight for DBB-3
Weight for DBB-3= 1,980,000 / 3,220,000 Weight for DBB-3=61.49%
Now let calculate the Joint cost for DBB-3
Joint cost for DBB-3=$36,00,000*61.49%
Joint cost for DBB-3=$2,213,640
Therefore The amount of joint costs allocated to product DBB-1 using the sales value at split-off method is $2,213,640

Answers
Answer:
Sensitivity analysis.
Explanation:
Sensitivity analysis studies how an economic variable would change due to changes in one of the input variables.
Due to the fact that the future is uncertain, it would be wise to accommodate a varying range of scenarios to be able to be well prepared for the future.
Sensitivity analysis involves changing one input at a time to determine how they would affect results.

In a month, Carlos can produce a maximum of either 30 bushels of pears or 15 bushels of apples, or any linear combination in between. Similarly, Donna can produce a maximum of either 20 bushels of pears or 5 bushels of apples, or any linear combination in between.
a. What is the opportunity cost for Carlos to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
b. What is the opportunity cost for Donna to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
c. What would Donna and Carlos agree to as acceptable terms of trade?
Answers
Answer:
a. What is the opportunity cost for Carlos to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
opportunity cost to produce 1 more bushel of apples = 30 / 15 = 2 bushels of pears
b. What is the opportunity cost for Donna to produce one more bushel of apples in terms of pears?
opportunity cost to produce 1 more bushel of apples = 20 / 5 = 4 bushels of pears
c. What would Donna and Carlos agree to as acceptable terms of trade?
Donna has a comparative advantage in the production of pears, so she should produce pears and exchange them for apples produced by Carlos.
Any range between 1-2 pears (higher than 1, but lower than 2) exchanged for every apple would result in mutually beneficial trade.
Sheffield Corp. applies overhead to production at a predetermined rate of 90% based on direct labor cost. Job No. 250, the only job still in process at the end of August, has been charged with manufacturing overhead of $11700. What was the amount of direct materials charged to Job 250 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is $45000
Answers
Answer:
$20,300
Explanation:
Calculation for What was the amount of direct materials charged to Job 250 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is $45000
Direct materials charged to Job 250=$45,000 - ($11,700 / .90) - $11,700
Direct materials charged to Job 250=$45,000 - $13,000- $11,700
Direct materials charged to Job 250= $20,300
Therefore the amount of direct materials charged to Job 250 assuming the balance in Work in Process inventory is $45000 will be $20,300

Answers
Answer:
C)There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.
D)There is a lack of standardization.
E)There is difficulty in accumulating wealth.
Explanation:
barter in a trade can be regarded as a system of exchange that involves exchange of goods and services for another without using money as a medium of exchange. Barter is been considered as 'inefficient' as a result of the needs for 'double coincidence of wants'. For instance in a situation whereby someone is buying particular amount of another's goods, but the payment he/she has is for just one indivisible unit of another good, and the worth is higher than what he/she want to obtain, in this case there won't be barter transaction.
It should be noted that the costs and sources of inefficiency in a barter are;
✓There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.
✓There is a lack of standardization.
✓There is difficulty in accumulating

A firm produces truffles by using labor and capital. The price of labor is $10 per unit, and the price of capital is $20 per unit. At current output level, the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the marginal product of capital is 60 truffles. To reduce the total cost of producing the current quantity of truffles, how should the firm change its spending on labor and capital
Answers
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
With the information given in the question, the firm should change its spending on labor and capital by increasing its labor and at thesame time, also reducing capital.
This is because since the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the price of labor is $10 per unit, it means that 4 truffles/dollar is being spent on labor, while for capital, 3 truffles/dollar is being spent.
A manufacturing company applies factory overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that factory overhead costs would be $348,400 and direct labor hours would be 47,000.

Answers
Answer:
Journal Entry
Debit Work-in-Process $388,284
Credit Manufacturing Overhead $388,284
To record the application of factory overhead costs for the year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated factory overhead costs = $348,400
Estimated direct labor hours = 47,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $7.41 ($348,400/47,000)
Actual overhead costs = $304,000
Actual direct labor hours = 52,400
Applied overhead costs = $388,284 (52,400 * $7.41)
b) The overhead applied to the production for the year will be the actual direct labor hours by the predetermined overhead rate. This yields a cost that is greater than the actual overhead costs, which means that the manufacturing overhead was overapplied. The cause of this situation is the number of actual direct labor hours worked vis-a-vis the actual overhead costs and the predetermined rate.
Marcus was offered a job as a senior manager by Super Corp. The offer, which was made over the phone, was for a three-year contract for $120,000 salary per year. Marcus orally accepted, there was no writing. The state in which Marcus was offered the job requires that such contracts be in writing. Marcus quit his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and headed to the state where Super Corp was headquartered. When he arrived, the director at Super Corp who had originally offered him the job said that they were revoking and that there was no contract, as Marcus never signed an employment agreement. If Marcus sues Super Corp, what is the likely result
Answers
,Answer:
-Marcus is owed something by Super Corp because he relied reasonably and to his detriment on Super Corp's offer.
Explanation:
Employment contracts can be written, oral, or implied and each of these are binding to some extent.
In the given instance it is required that employment should be written in the state where Super Corp operates.
So Marcus will not be able to compel them to give him a job as the offer was made and accepted orally.
However the offer resulted in him quitting his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and heading to the state where Super Corp was headquartered.
He relied on the offer to his detriment of losing his current job, so Super Corp owes him for the damages incurred
Mayfair Co. allows select customers to make purchases on credit. Its other customers can use either of two credit cards: Zisa or Access.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you did not attach the team effectiveness model (Exhibit 7.2). You did not a link or picture of it.
However, trying to help you, we can comment on the following model.
We are going to use the Katzenbach and Smith Team Model.
This team effectiveness model has three important components at the base of the pyramid: collective work product, commitment, and personal growth.
From there, the next level indicates the specific goals of the team, the ground rules, the common approach, and the meaningful purpose of the team.
Going up the pyramid we have the Skills and Accountability.
In the Skills, the authors include interpersonal skills, technical skills, and problem-solving abilities. Regarding Accountability, the authors include mutual and personal accountability.
At the very top of the pyramid, we have the performance results.
This model helps to establish the foundation of the role individual team members and leaders play in ensuring team success.
For this to happen, leaders have to set the example of the n¿behavior they like to observe on team members. On the other hand, setting that example, team members are expected to follow through with the goals and expectations, following high standards of performance to accomplish goals.
Sorting forms of payments
Q; Sort the forms of payment into the two categories
Answer down below
Have money at time of purchase
- cash
- debit card
- check
Borrow money to make purchase
- credit card
Answers
Answer:
Have money at time of purchase.
Cash
For cash to be used to purchase something, the person must already have the required amount of cash in their possession already.
Debit Card.
Debit cards pay for purchases by using funds in the owner's bank account. This means that for a purchase to be processed, the owner must have funds in their account in the first place.
Check
This works much like the debit card above. If one wants to use a check, their bank account needs to have funds at the time of purchase so that the funds can pay for the purchase.
Borrow money to make a purchase
Credit Card
Credit card represent a debt owed to the issuing company that will need to be paid off eventually. This means therefore that whenever you use a credit card to make a purchase, you are borrowing the money used to fund the purchase.

Answers
Answer:
units completed and ending work in process.
Explanation:
Process costing can be defined as a cost accounting method used for assigning manufacturing or production costs to the units of goods produced by a business firm over a specific period of time. It is mostly used by firms that produce a large quantity of homogeneous or similar products on a continuous basis. Process costing typically uses more than one Work in Process Inventory account because costing at each stage of production or manufacturing process.
Basically, when manufacturing overhead costs of a business firm or company are applied to the cost of production in a process costing system, they are debited to the Work-in-Process inventory account.
In the manufacturing process, partially or partly completed goods that are still in the process of being converted into a finish product are defined as work-in-process inventories.
Generally, the work-in-process inventories include the following raw materials cost, direct labor cost and factory overhead cost.
The equivalent-unit calculations is done by multiplying the number of partially completed physical goods by the percentage of completion.
Hence, equivalent-unit calculations are necessary to allocate manufacturing costs between units completed and ending work in process.

Many investment advisors argue that after stocks have declined in value for 2 consecutive years, people should invest heavily because the market rarely declines 3 years in a row. a) Since the stock market began in 1872, there have been two consecutive losing years eight times. In six of those cases, the market rose during the following year. Does this confirm the advice
Answers
Answer: Yes it does
Explanation:
The investment advisors say that the market rarely declines three years in a row.
Since 1872, it has declined two years in a row 8 times and three years in a row, only twice.
This means out of 8 times, it declined twice. Percentage of times it declined was:
= 2 / 8 * 100%
= 25%
25% while not rare, is a good enough percentage to trust the advice of the investment advisors.

Claremore Industries uses a weighted-average process-costing system. All materials are added at the beginning of the process; conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout production. The company finished 40,000 units during the period and had 15,000 units in progress at year-end, the latter at the 40% stage of completion. Total material costs amounted to $220,000; conversion costs were $414,000. The cost of the ending work in process is:
Answers
Answer: $78000
Explanation:
First, we have to calculate the total.costnoer equivalent unit which will be the addition of the material cost per unit and the conversion cost per unit. This will be:
Material cost per unit = $220,000 / (40,000+15,000)
= $220,000 / 55000
= $4
Conversion cost per unit= $414,000 / (40,000 + (15,000*40%)
= $414000 / 46000
= $9
Therefore, total cost per equivalent unit will be: $4 + $9 = $13
Then, the equivlant unit of the ending work in process would be calculated as:
= 15,000 × 40%
= 15000 × 40/100
= 15000 × 0.4
= 6,000
The cost of the ending work in process will then be:
= 6,000 × $13
= $78,000
Over the past decade, many American candy companies have opened factories in Mexico and Canada to produce candy. The companies, including Hershey Company, Brach's Confections, and Ferrara Pan, then ship candy back to the United States for sale. Although lower wages in Mexico might explain part of this move, wages in Canada are comparable to U.S. wages. Price floors (price supports) for the sugar industry encouraged American candy companies to move production out of the United States. Describe how the enactment of a sugar price floor impacted the market for candy in the United States, resulting in the movement of manufacturing.
Answers
Answer:
The sugar industry in the US is very powerful and has been able to establish trade barriers and import quotas that affect domestic prices. Sugar prices in the US are extremely high compared to prices in any other country, including Canada, Mexico, China, European nation, i.e. American sugar is the most expensive in the world.
Besides imposing trade barriers, the government also imposes a binding price floor. Binding price floors always result in deadweight losses since the quantity demanded is lower than equilibrium. This is why American candy manufacturers move their production overseas. the highest cost in the candy industry is actually sugar, and wherever they decide to relocate their factories it will always be cheaper.
