D. Fred

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Beta Corp.

A. Arnold = Agent (Arnold exercises significant power on behalf of the Beta's Board of Directors).

B. Carol = Agent-Employee (Carol does not exercise significant power on behalf of the principal (the Board of Directors of Beta).  Instead, she is subject to Beta's control)

C. Dave = Agent-Employee, just like Carol.  He is a mere employee subject to Beta's control.

D. Fred = Independent Contractor because he controls and directs the result of his work, though he does not decide the work or how it should be done.

Explanation:

Principal = a person who assigns the agent to act on her behalf.

Agent = a person who the principal authorizes to exercise significant power on her behalf.

Agent-employee = an employee of a company.  The employee does not exercise the right of control and direction of the results of her work.

Independent contractor = a person who exercises the right of control and direction for work result, and not how and what is done.

Answers

Answer:

1. persuasive: a. Sales pitches, requests for favors

2. positive: b. Replies, goodwill messages, direct claims

3. negative: c. Bad news, refusals

b. A new law that bans the formation of labor unions has been passed.

Answers

Answer:

Attached below is the WP and WS graph

A) since the new U.S trade policy decreases international trade and makes product markets less competitive in the U.S . hence this affects the PS equation and PS curve.   PS curve ( W/P ) = 1 ( 1 + u ) . here U > 0 due to the decrease in market competition. hence the PS curve will shift downward from PS to PS’ and the equilibrium points will shift from A to A’. while the real wage will be lower i.e. from r to r’  and the natural rate of unemployment will be higher i.e. from Un to Un'   ( image 1 )

B) When the new law that bans the formation of labor unions has been passed the power of the union  weakens and this will affect  wage setting (WS) curve.  Hence The WS curve will shift leftward from WS to WS’ also, the equilibrium point will change from B to B’. Since the PS curve is horizontal, at this new level of equilibrium, the real wages will remain unchanged, while the natural rate of unemployment will be reduced from Un to Un’.

3. The day after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday, is the biggest shopping day

of the year. One major retailer advertised a "Black Friday only" laptop for $150.

On Thanksgiving night, hundreds of people waited for the store to open to take

advantage of the laptop deal-only to learn that the store only had two units for

sale at the discounted price. Did the retailer breach its contract with the hundreds

of consumers who sought the deal? What obligation, if any, does the retailer have

to its consumers?

Answers

Answer:

No there is no breach of contract since the retailer should have mentioned that stock is limited.

Explanation:

The retailer should have mentioned with the advertisement that the stock is limited. If such is the case then there is no breach as it is up to the store how many units it has kept for sale. The store should be opened on Black Friday and those customers who grab the sale items first will be given the discounted products. It is not responsibility of the store to entertain every customer as the stock in the store is limited.

g Profit margins tend to peak during the growth stage of the Product Life Cycle. This is due to ___________________.this being the stage with the most intense competitionthe fact that companies don't spend on advertising in this stagedeclining unit manufacturing costs while prices can remain highthe fact that sales volumes are starting to declineprices tend to be the lowest in this stage

Answers

Answer:

Declining unit manufacturing costs while prices can remain high.

Explanation:

A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.

Generally, there are four (4) stages in the product-life cycle;

1. Introduction.

2. Growth.

3. Maturity.

4. Decline.

Generally, the growth stage is the stage where the product gains acceptance from the consumer and there is a significant increase in demand and sales.

Profit margins tend to peak during the growth stage of the Product Life Cycle. This is due to declining unit manufacturing costs while prices can remain high because the product has been accepted in the market and its unit cost of production is lesser i.e they are manufactured in bulk.

On January 1, 2019, Lightfoot Corporation issues 10%, 5-year bonds with a face value of $275,000 when the effective interest rate is 9%. Interest is to be paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Prepare calculations to prove that the selling price of the bonds is $285,880.07. Click here to access the tables to use with this exercise. Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary. Present value of principal$fill in the blank 1 Present value of interestfill in the blank 2 Selling price

Answers

Answer:

Face Value of Bonds = $275,000

Annual Coupon Rate = 10%

Semiannual Coupon Rate = 5%

Semiannual Coupon = 5% * $275,000 =  $13,750

Time to Maturity = 5 years

Semiannual Period = 10

Annual Interest Rate = 9%

Semiannual Interest Rate = 4.5%

Present Value of Principal = $275,000 * PV of $1 (4.50%, 10)

Present Value of Principal = $275,000 * 0.643928

Present Value of Principal = $177,080.20

Present Value of Interest = $13,750 * PVA of $1 (4.50%, 10)

Present Value of Interest = $13,750 * 7.912718

Present Value of Interest = $108,799.87

Cross-Check

Selling Price = Present Value of Principal + Present Value of Interest  = $177,080.20 + $108,799.87 = $285,880.07

Use the following information: Accounts receivable, beginning of year: $16,000 Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts, beginning of year: $1,200 Net credit sales during the year: $105,000 Collections on accounts receivable during the year: $93,000 Delinquent accounts written off during the year: $1,600 Assume all accounts have normal balances. If bad debts are estimated to be 10% of ending accounts receivable, the adjusting entry to recognize bad debts would debit bad debt expense for

Answers

Answer:

Bad debts expense is $ 2240

Explanation:

Given that;

Accounts receivable, beginning of year = $16,000

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts, beginning of year = $1,200

Net credit sales during the year = $105,000

Collections on accounts receivable during the year = $93,000

Delinquent accounts written off during the year: $1,600

If bad debts are estimated to be 10% of ending accounts receivable, the adjusting entry to recognize bad debts would debit bad debt expense for;

Account Receivable, ending = ( Accounts Receivable, beginning + Net credit sales - Collections on account - Accounts written off )

Account Receivable, ending = ( $16,000 + $105,000 - $93,000 - $1,600 )

Account Receivable, ending = $ 26,400

Estimated accounts uncollectible = (26,400 × 10%) = 2640

Allowance for uncollectible accounts debit balance = ( 1600 - 1200) = 400

so

Bad debts expense = Estimated accounts uncollectible - Allowance for uncollectible accounts debit balance

we substitute

Bad debts expense = (26,400 × 10%) - ( 1600 - 1200)

Bad debts expense = 2640 - 400

Bad debts expense = $ 2240

Therefore, Bad debts expense is $ 2240

Answers

Answer:

The opportunity cost of John's decision is the benefit that he could have derived from the:

New pair of jeans,

which he did not choose to buy.

Explanation:

In this scenario, John is faced with two alternative decisions.  By choosing to spend his limited financial resource, $40, on the amusement park, the forgone benefit that would have been derived by choosing a new pair of jeans is lost by the cost of visiting the amusement park.  The concept of opportunity cost helps in clarifying economic decisions among alternative courses of action, enabling the decision-maker to reach a favorable decision.

Patty and Bob were in a romantic relationship. While they were seeing each other, Patty and Bob acquired an electronics service center, Bob paying $60,000 and Patty running all facets of the center. The center becomes very profitable. Two years later, when the romantic relationship ended, Bob goes to court for a declaration that they had no partnership because they did not have a written partnership agreement and Patty contributed no cash, she was merely an employee. Did they have a partnership

Answers

Answer:

Most states accept oral agreements when forming partnerships. This would not be an exception. the fact that Patty didn't contribute any money doesn't mean that she cannot be considered a partner. Her contribution might be her labor. Unless the partnership previously recorded Patty as an employee, then she can claim being a partner. Since no written agreement was made, profits must be divided equally.

Explanation:

The decision regarding the partnership between Patty and Bob would be as follows:

Yes, they have been partners where one has employed capital while the other has employed his entrepreneurship.

What is Partnership?

A Partnership is described as an acquaintance and association that exists between two or more individuals in order to run a business.

In the given situation, although there is no written agreement between them, Bob will have an equal share in the profit of the business.

The reason behind this is that one employed his capital while the other employed his skills and efforts(entrepreneurship).

Thus, they would be considered as partners as he was not hired as an employee in the company.

It is now January 1, 2018, and you are considering the purchase of an outstanding bond that was issued on January 1, 2016. It has a 9% annual coupon and had a 20-year original maturity. (It matures on December 31, 2035.) There is 5 years of call protection (until December 31, 2020), after which time it can be called at 109-that is, at 109% of par, or $1,090. Interest rates have declined since it was issued, and it is now selling at 114.12% of par, or $1,141.20. What is the yield to maturity

Answers

Answer:

YTM is 7.54%.

Explanation:

The yield to maturity can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:

YTM = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv) .............(1)

Where;

YTM = yield to maturity = ?

nper = number of periods = number of years to maturity = original maturity number of years - number of years between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2018 = 20 - 2 = 18

pmt = annual coupon payment = face value * annual coupon rate = 1000 * 9% = 90 (Note: This is an inflow to the bondholder and it is therefore a positive figure).

pv = present value = current bond price = -1141.20 (Note: This is an outflow to the buyer of the bond and it is therefore a negative figure).

fv = face value of the bond = 1000 (Note: This is an inflow to the bondholder and it is therefore a positive figure).

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

YTM = RATE(18,90,-1141.20,1000) ............ (2)

Inputting =RATE(18,90,-1141.20,1000) into excel (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the YTM is obtained as 7.54%.

Therefore,  YTM is 7.54%.

A firm has 2,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding with a market price of $2.00 per share. It has 2,000 bonds outstanding, each selling at 120% of a face value of $1000. The bonds mature in 15 years, have a coupon rate of 10%, and pay coupons annually. The firm's beta is 1.2., the riskfree rate is 5%, and market risk premium is 7%. The tax rate is 34%. Calculate the WACC

Answers

Answer:

10.28 %

Explanation:

WACC is the cost of all sources of capital pooled together. It shows the risk of the company or project.

WACC = Weight of Equity x Cost of Equity + Weight of Debt x Cost of Debt

where,

Weight of Equity = ($2.00 x 2,000,000) ÷ (($2.00 x 2,000,000) + (2,000 x $1,200)) = 0.625

Cost of Equity = Risk free rate + Beta x Market Risk Premium

                        = 5% + 1.2 x 7%

                        = 13.40 %

Weight of Debt = (2,000 x $1,200) ÷  (($2.00 x 2,000,000) + (2,000 x $1,200)) = 0.375

Cost of Debt  is the Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the Bond

PV = ($1,200)

FV = $1,000

N = 15

PMT = $1,000 x 10% = $100

P/YR = 1

YTM = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, YTM is 7.71 %

We always use the after tax cost of debt ;

After tax cost of debt is 5.09 % that is  [7.71 % x ( 1 - 0.34)]

therefore,

WACC = 13.40 % x 0.625 + 5.09 % x 0.375

            = 10.28 %

Answers

Answer: C, B, A

Explanation:

First the company would decide that it would like less bad debt risk and would be willing to risk losing sales by instituting tougher restrictions on credit sales.

One such restriction would be that payments must be made within 45 days.

With this restriction, the firm will hope that less doubts are defaulted on so it will not take any action to collect bad debts.

On January 20 of the current year, Zealand and Menandez form ZM LLC. Their contributions to the LLC are as follows: Adjusted Basis Fair Market Value From Zealand: Cash $82,000 $82,000 Accounts receivable $0 $214,000 Inventory $19,000 $26,000 From Menandez: Cash $201,000 $201,000 Temporary Investments $121,000 $121,000 Within 30 days of formation, ZM collects the receivables and sells the inventory for $26,000 cash. ZM realized the following income in the current year from these transactions: a. Ordinary income of $fill in the blank 2 from collecting cash basis accounts receivable. b. Ordinary income of $fill in the blank 4 from sale of inventory.

Answers

Answer:

Ordinary Income of $214,000 from collecting cash basis accounts receivable

Ordinary Income of $7,000 from sale of Inventory.

Explanation:

a. Adjusted basis of Accounts receivable = $0

Fair Market Value of Accounts Receivable = $214,000

Cash realized from Accounts Receivable = $214,000

Ordinary Income from collecting cash basis accounts receivable = $214,000

It is ordinary income since the Accounts receivable are taxed only after they are collected.

b. Adjusted basis of Inventory = $19,000

Fair Market Value of Inventory = $26,000

Cash realized from sale of Inventory = $26,000

Ordinary Income from sale of Inventory = Cash received from sale - Adjusted basis = $26,000 - $19,000  = $7,000

It is ordinary income since the Inventory only recognizes the adjusted basis i.e. the amount paid for inventory and any income recognized on sale of inventory is taxed accordingly.

You plan to retire in 28 years. You would like to maintain your current level of consumption which is $52,672 per year. You will need to have 30 years of consumption during your retirement. You can earn 5.03% per year (nominal terms) on your investments. In addition, you expect inflation to be 2.82% inflation per year, from now and through your retirement. How much do you have to invest each year, starting next year, for 13 years, in nominal terms to just cover your retirement needs?

Answers

Answer:

The amount to invest each year for 13 years is $5,617.37.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = current level of consumption = $52,672

P = amount to invest each year = ?

r = annual nominal interest rate = 5.03%, or 0.0503

n = number of years = 13

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for n, we have:

$52,672 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0503))^13) / 0.0503)

$52,672 = P * 9.37662983027493

P = $52,672 / 9.37662983027493

P = $5,617.37

Therefore, the amount to invest each year for 13 years is $5,617.37.

If a sales tax is the same for all goods sold within a given area, why are sales taxes considered regressive?

High-income earners avoid paying sales tax through deductions.

Sales taxes tend to be higher in areas with large low-income populations.

Sales tax disproportionately affects low-income earners.

Low-income earners make purchase decisions based exclusively on sales tax.

tock J has a beta of 1.38 and an expected return of 14.06 percent, while Stock K has a beta of .93 and an expected return of 11 percent. You want a portfolio with the same risk as the market. a.What is the portfolio weight of each stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., 32.1616.)b.What is the expected return of your portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

By definition, we know that Beta for market Portfolio is 1. By this, we need weighted average of J and K Beta as 1

1.38x + 0.93(1-x) = 1

1.38x + 0.93-0.93x = 1

0.45x = 0.07

x = 0.07/0.45

x = 0.16

So, we need 0.16 of J and 0.84 of K.

Weighted Average of J = 0.16 and K = 0.84.

Further Expected return of portfolio will be:

    Weight  Expected Return  Expected Return of Portfolio

J    0.16                 14.06                        2.25

K   0.84                   11                            9.24

Consider the following data for a closed​ economy: Y​ = ​$ trillion C​ = ​$ trillion I ​= ​$ trillion TR​ = ​$ trillion T​ = ​$ trillion Use the data to calculate the following. ​(Enter your responses as​ integers.) a. Private​ saving: ​$ nothing trillion. b. Public​ saving: ​$ nothing trillion. c. Government​ purchases: ​$ nothing trillion. d. The government budget balance is ​$ nothing trillion and as a result the government budget is in ▼ surplus balance deficit .

Answers

Answer:

a. Private​ saving = $3 trillion

b. Public​ saving = $3 trillion

c. G = Government​ purchases = $0

d. The government budget balance is ​$3 trillion and as a result the government budget is in surplus.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as the data are omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Consider the following data for a closed​ economy:

Y​ = ​$12 trillion

C​ = ​$6 trillion

I ​= ​$3 trillion

TR​ = ​$1 trillion

T​ = ​$4 trillion

Use the data to calculate the following. ​(Enter your responses as​ integers.) a. Private​ saving: ​$ nothing trillion.

b. Public​ saving: ​$ nothing trillion.

c. Government​ purchases: ​$ nothing trillion.

d. The government budget balance is ​$ nothing trillion and as a result the government budget is in ▼ surplus balance deficit .

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

Note that:

Y = national income (GDP) = ​$12 trillion

C = consumption = ​$6 trillion

I = investment = ​$3 trillion

TR​ = ​Transfers paid by the government to the consumers = $1 trillion

T​ = Taxes paid by consumers = ​$4 trillion

a. Private​ saving: ​$ nothing trillion.

Private​ saving = Y − T + TR − C = $12 trillion - ​$4 trillion + ​$1 trillion - $6 trillion = $3 trillion

b. Public​ saving: ​$ nothing trillion.

Let G = Government​ purchases

Therefore, we have:

Public​ saving = T − G − TR = $4 trillion - $0 - $1 trillion = $3 trillion

c. Government​ purchases: ​$ nothing trillion.

National saving = Private​ saving + Public​ saving = $3 trillion + $3 trillion = $6 trillion

The Government​ purchases (G) can therefore be derived using the following equation:

National saving = Y - C - G ................. (1)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1) and solve for G, we have:

$6 trillion = ​$12 trillion - ​$6 trillion - G

G = $12 trillion - ​$6 trillion - $6 trillion

G = $0

d. The government budget balance is ​$ nothing trillion and as a result the government budget is in ▼ surplus balance deficit .

In economics, Public​ saving is also know as Budget surplus. Therefore, we have:

Public​ saving = Budget surplus = $3 trillion

Therefore, the government budget balance is ​$3 trillion and as a result the government budget is in surplus.

By the end of the year, $10,500 of the accounts payable had been paid in cash.
During the year, direct labor amounted to 950 hours recorded in the Wages Payable account at $21 per hour.
By the end of the year, $18,000 of wages payable had been paid in cash.
At the beginning of the year, the company expected overhead cost for the period to be $12,600 and 1,000 direct labor hours to be worked. Overhead is allocated based on direct labor hours, which, as indicated in Event 3, amounted to 950 for the year.
Selling and administrative expenses for the year amounted to $1,800 paid in cash.
Utilities and rent for production facilities amounted to $9,300 paid in cash.
Depreciation on the plant and equipment used in production amounted to $3,000.
There was $24,000 of goods completed during the year.
There was $25,500 of finished goods inventory sold for $36,000 cash.
A count of the production supplies revealed a balance of $178 on hand at the end of the year.
Any over- or underapplied overhead is considered to be insignificant.

1                                 10

2                                20

3                                40

the marginal product of the 3rd worker = (40 - 20) / (3 - 2) = 20

marginal product of the second worker = (20 - 10) / (2 -1 ) = 10

Average output = total output / labour

Explanation:

The steps above are arranged to ensure that the next step follows from the last sequentially.  The sequence started with making purchase decisions to maintenance activities after the purchase of a car had been completed successfully.

Aircard Corporation tracks the number of units purchased and sold throughout each accounting period but applies its inventory costing method at the end of each period as if it uses a perpetual inventory system. The following are the transactions for the month of July.
Units Unit Cost
July 1 Beginning Inventory 2,700 $ 47
July 5 Sold 1,350
July 13 Purchased 6,700 51
July 17 Sold 3,700
July 25 Purchased 8,700 57
July 27 Sold 5,700
Calculate the cost of ending inventory and cost of goods sold assuming a perpetual inventory system is used in combination with
(a) FIFO and (b) LIFO.or (c) weighted average cost. (Round "Cost per Unit" to 2 decimal places.)
FIFO LIFO WEIGHTED AVERAGE COST
Cost of goods available for sale
Ending inventory
Cost of goods sold

Answers

Answer:

               Units      Unit cost   Total

July 1 2700           47        126900

July 13 6700           51         341700

July 25 8700           57        495900

Total       18100                       964,500

Weighted Average Cost = $964,500/18,100 = $53.28

Ending Inventory units = 18100-1,350-3,700-5,700 = 7350

a. FIFO

Cost of Goods Available for Sale = $964,500

Ending Inventory = 7,350*$52 = $382,200

Cost of Goods Sold = $964,500 - $382,200 = $582,300

b. LIFO

Cost of Goods Available for Sale = $964,500

Ending Inventory = (2,700*$47)+(4,650*$51) = $364,050

Cost of Goods Sold = $964,500 - $364,050 = $600,450

c. Weighted average cost

Cost of Goods Available for Sale = $964,500

Ending Inventory = 7350*$53.28 = $391,608

Cost of Goods Sold = $964,500 - $391,608 = $572,892

In this activity, you will use a gas properties simulation to analyze how the variables that describe a gas relate to each other under different conditions. In the center of the simulation is a box with a lid. The box can be filled with gas particles. Theres also a thermometer and a pressure gauge. You can choose the type of particle you want. You can also change the energy of the particles by heating or cooling the box.The controls on the right panel allow you to hold certain parameters constant or to change the number of particles in the box. Near the bottom are options to pause and reset the simulation. Answer ASAP need a step by step on how to solve, and how to factor an expression.

Having just moved to Houston from Oklahoma City, she was introduced to our class that morning. At lunch, I was sitting with the rest of the drama club when I noticed her standing awkwardly with her tray. I could see she was debating on where she should sit. Having just moved to the area a couple of years ago, I knew exactly how she felt. Feeling kind, I called out, "Hey! Wanna sit with us?" With a hopeful smile, Jackie looked toward the table where Mindy, the "coolest" girl in school, and her followers sat, but seeing no one looking at her, she turned, puzzled, and saw me waving at her. What happened next surprised me. She gave me a haughty look and turned back around. "A 'no, thank you' would have been a bit kinder," I muttered. My friend Lindsey patted me on the back. "Look at how she's dresseddesigner jeans and a trendy top. You can tell she's one of those." With a shrug, she said, "Some girls just care about being 'popular.' " The new girl straightened her shoulders. She approached Mindy, and although I couldn't hear what was being said, I did see Mindy laugh and give her the wave to go away. The poor girl got rejected. Mindy must have made a cruel comment at Jackie's expense because eruptive laughs and spiteful looks were aimed her way. I watched as Jackie walked to an empty table across the room. She looked like she was about to cry. I shook my head at the irony. What goes around comes around fast, I thought to myself. After lunch, I stopped by the bathroom. As I washed my hands, I heard sniffling coming from one of the stalls. "Are you okay?" I called out. No answer came. Not knowing what else to do, I just said, "The bell's going to ring soon." With that, I heard the click of the lock, and out stepped the new girl. "Hi," I said, startled. I stuck out my hand. "I'm Steph." "I'm Jackie," she said, shaking my hand. Her damp eyes and pink nose proved that she had been crying. "Sorry about earlier. I was pretty rude." "Not as rude as Mindy was," I answered with a sympathetic smile. "Come on. We better get to class."Which statement best describes the theme of the passage? A. Every new idea appears crazy to people at first. B. If you work hard in life, good things will happen. C.
