Answer:
D. cost estimation is improved with the inclusion of non-unit cost drivers.
Explanation:
In Accounting, costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production. The various type of costs are;
1. Product cost is the expenses incurred when a product is sold.
2. Period cost refers to the period in which costs are incurred.
3. Fixed cost refers to costs that remains constant over variations in production activity, irrespective of amount of goods.
3. Variable cost refers to cost which are the same per unit of production but vary directly with level of output.
4. Direct costs refer to the costs that are peculiar to a particular department or area while indirect cost can't be traced to any.
5. Manufacturing overhead are all indirect cost required in producing a good that isn't associated with direct materials or direct labor.
As a consequence of automation and product diversity, in cost estimation; cost estimation is improved with the inclusion of non-unit cost drivers.

Leaders at ElectroExpo Inc. want to develop a results-oriented organizational culture. To do this, they devise a new system to maintain project logs in order to record any lags in project execution. They also encourage their employees to work on every alternate Saturday of a month in order to increase productivity in exchange for additional compensation. However, the leaders face stiff resistance from the employees because they are not comfortable with this change. In this case, which of the following steps should the leaders take?
a. The leaders should take legal actions against the employees who oppose the change or who instigate other employees to resist the change.
b. The leaders should find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed.
c. The leaders should promise to fulfill all the demands of the employees and empower them to make important business decisions.
d. The leaders should lay off the employees who are resisting the changes in the organization.
Answer: b. The leaders should find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed
Explanation:
With regards to the information given in the question, the best option will be for the leaders to find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed.
In every organization, communication is key between the management and the employees. In this case, the leaders should inform the employees about the reason that they are taking the decision and how the decision will have an impact on the organization.
Taking legal steps against the employees or laying them off isn't the right thing to do. The employees should be made to see the value in the changes to be made.
Therefore, the correct option is B.

There is an investment with the discount rate of 6 %. What should be the present value of the investment if we want to get a net cash flow of $17500;
a) After 1 year
b) After 2 years
c) After 3 years
Answer:
a. $16,509.434
b. $15,574.94
c. $14,693.34
Explanation:
The calculation of the present value for the following cases is
we know that
Present Value = Future Value ÷ (1+ rate of interest)^number of years
a. After one year
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^1
= $16,509.434
b. After 2 years
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^2
= $17,500 ÷ 1.1236
= $15,574.94
c. After 3 years
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^3
= $17,500 ÷ 1.191016
= $14,693.34
Therefore, the present value after one year, 2 years and third year is $16,509.434 ,$15,574.94 and $14,693.34 respectively
In the free enterprise system, or market economy, individuals are responsible for
being informed and making careful decisions.
True of False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Free Enterprise system or market economy is where the individuals have the chance to make decisions on their own. This means that there are no government restrictions.
In this type of economy, the desires of the consumers and the profit-making goals of the producers help in determining what will be produced. In the same manner, the decision on how to produce will be determined by the Labour and the management.
To sum it up, this system allows the individual to decide on the purchasing of goods, the selling of the product, the hiring of Labour, and the type of structure they want to work on, giving them full freedom and responsibility to make decisions.

Gabbe Industries is a division of a major corporation. Last year the division had total sales of $24,040,500, net operating income of $3,726,278, and average operating assets of $7,755,000. The company's minimum required rate of return is 18%. Required: a. What is the division's margin? (Round your percentage answer to 2 decimal places.) b. What is the division's turnover? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. What is the division's return on investment (ROI)? (Round percentage your answer to 2 de
Answer:
See
Explanation:
Part A
Division's margin = Net operating income/Total sales
= $3,726,278/$24,040,500
= 0.155
Division's margin = 15.5%
Part B
Division's turnover = Total sales/Average operating assets
= $24,040,500/$7,755,000
= 3.1
Division's turnover = 3.1 times
Part C
The division's return on investment
= Net operating income/Average operating assets
= $3,726,278/$7,755,000
= 0.481
The division's return on investment is 48.1%
The economy is in long-run equilibrium. Technological change shifts the long-run aggregate supply curve $120 billion to the right. At the same time, government purchases increase by $30 billion. If the MPC equals 0.8 and the crowding-out effects are $30 billion, we would expect that in the long run. (C)
a. real GDP would be higher but the price level would be lower
b. both real GDP and the price level would be lower
c. real GDP would be higher but the price level would be the same
d. both real GDP and the price level would be higher
Answer:
C. Real GDP would be higher but the price level would be the same
Explanation:
Real gdp would get to be higher as long run aggregate supply goes up. Prices would go down because as long run aggregate supply goes up, aggregate demand does not experience the same proportional increase. As long run aggregate supply goes up, short run aggregate supply falls backwards.
Differences between pretax accounting income and taxable income were as follows during 2021: ($ in millions) Pretax accounting income $ 400 Permanent difference (34 ) 366 Temporary difference (26 ) Taxable income $ 340 The cumulative temporary difference as of the end of 2021 is $80 million (also the future taxable amount). The enacted tax rate is 25%. What is the deferred tax asset or liability to be reported in the balance sheet
Answer:
20 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the deferred tax asset or liability to be reported in the balance sheet
Using this formula
Deferred tax asset or liability=cumulative temporary difference as of the end of 2021 *tax rate
Let plug in the formula
Deferred tax asset or liability= $80 million *25%
Deferred tax asset or liability=20 million
Therefore the deferred tax asset or liability to be reported in the balance sheet is $20 million

Barton Industries expects next year's annual dividend, D1, to be $2.00 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.2%. The firm's current common stock price, P0, is $20.00. If it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 4.5% flotation cost, F. What is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retained earnings? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retained earnings will be calculated thus:
= Expected dividend / [Current price × (1 - Floatation cost)] + Expected growth rate
= 2.00/[20.00 × (1 - 4.5%)] + 4.2%
= 2.00 /[20.00 × (1 - 0.045)] + 0.042
= 2.00 / (20.00 × 0.955) + 0.042
= (2.00/19.10) + 0.042
= 0.104712 + 0.042
= 0.146712
New cost of equity = 14.67%
You didn't give the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment. Let's assume that this is maybe 11%, the floatation on adjustment factor = 14.67% - 11% = 3.67%
There is an investment with the discount rate of 6 %. What should be the present value of the investment if we want to get a net cash flow of $17500;
a) After 1 year
b) After 2 years
Answer:
a. $16,509.434
b. $15,574.94
Explanation:
The computation of the present value in each case is as followS:
As we know that
Present Value = Future Value ÷ (1+ rate of interest)^number of years
a. AFter one year
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^1
= $16,509.434
b. After 2 years
= $17,500 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^2
= $17,500 ÷ 1.1236
= $15,574.94
Hence, the present value after one year and 2 years is $16,509.434 and $15,574.94 respectively
The cafeteria of a prominent university in Carson, California hires students to assist in its three shifts of operations: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In order to provide good customer service, the cafeteria has a policy that the number of students hired for the lunch shift must exactly equal (no more and no less) to the combined total number of students hired for the other two (that is, breakfast AND dinner) shifts. Based on these information, if Bis the number of students hired for the breakfast shift, L is the number of students hired for the lunch shift, and is the number of students hired for the dinner shift, then the constraint used in a Linear Programming (LP) problem to describe this situation is :________
A. B = L + D
B. L - B + D
C. D - B + L
D. Not enough information given to answer this question
E. None of the above please continue on the next page
Answer:
B. L - B + D
Explanation:
There are three different shifts of operation, Lunch, breakfast and dinner. The liner programming constraint is that lunch total must be equal to the sum of other two shifts. The constraint equation is formed to identify the number of students need to be hired for each shift.
Staples Corporation would have had identical income before taxes on both its income tax returns and its income statements for the years 2020 through 2023 except for a depreciable asset that cost $120,000. The asset was 100% expensed for tax purposes in 2020. However, for accounting purposes the straight-line method was used (that is, $30,000 per year). The accounting and tax periods both end December 31. There were no deferred taxes at the beginning of 2020. The depreciable asset has a four-year estimated life and no residual value. The tax rate for each year was 25%. Pretax GAAP income amounts for each of the four years were as follows:
Year Pretax GAAP Income
2020 $230,000
2021 250,000
2022 240,000
2023 240,000

Total $960,000 $840,000 $840,000 $210,000 $210,000 0
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of depreciable asset = $120,000
Estimated useful life = 4 years
Residual value = $0
Tax depreciation expense = 100% in 2020
GAAP depreciation expense = 25% in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023
Tax rate for each year = 25%
Year Pre-tax GAAP Tax- Tax Taxable Income Tax Deferred

2022 240,000 210,000 240,000 60,000 52,500 (7,500)
2023 240,000 210,000 240,000 60,000 52,500 (7,500)
Total $960,000 $840,000 $840,000 $210,000 $210,000 0
2020 Tax Taxable Income = $110,000 ($230,000-$120,000)
GAAP Taxable Income = GAAP minus Annual Depreciation
b) Tax Taxable Income = GAAP income of $230,000 minus 100% depreciation ($120,000) for the first year and 0% for the remaining years. This gives rise to temporary differences in 2020 between the calculated tax payable and the tax expense for the following years. While in the first year, there arose a tax liability, this is offset in subsequent years.

g 2. Problems and Applications Q2 Indicate whether each of the following transactions represents an increase in net exports, a decrease in net exports, an increase in net capital outflow, or a decrease in net capital outflow for the United States. Transaction Net Exports Net Capital Outflow Increase Decrease Increase Decrease The Sony pension fund buys a bond from the U.S. Treasury. A worker at a Sony plant in Japan buys some Georgia peaches from an American farmer. An American buys a Toyota. An American investor buys a controlling share in a South Korean electronics firm.
Answer:
The Sony pension fund buys a bond from the U.S. Treasury. ⇒ Decrease in Net Capital Outflow
Net Capital outflow is calculated by subtracting investments made by foreign entities in the United States from investments made by American entities in other countries. The Sony pension fund in this scenario, invested in the U.S. which would therefore reduce the Net capital outflow.
A worker at a Sony plant in Japan buys some Georgia peaches from an American farmer. ⇒ Increase in Net Exports
Net exports is calculated by subtracting the goods brought into the United States from other countries (imports) from those goods sold by the U.S. to other countries (exports). This scenario shows an increase in exports so Net exports will increase.
An American buys a Toyota. ⇒ Decrease in Net exports
An American buying a Toyota means they imported it so Net exports will go down.
An American investor buys a controlling share in a South Korean electronics firm. ⇒ Increase in Net Capital Outflow
Here cash is leaving the United States for an investment in another country so as per the definition above, Net Capital outflow is increasing.

Marigold Corp. issued at a premium of $10500 a $192000 bond issue convertible into 4700 shares of common stock (par value $20). At the time of the conversion, the unamortized premium is $4000, the market value of the bonds is $212000, and the stock is quoted on the market at $60 per share. If the bonds are converted into common, what is the amount of paid-in capital in excess of par to be recorded on the conversion of the bonds
Answer: $102000
Explanation:
The following can be deduced fkem the question:
Face value of bonds = $192000
Unamortized Premium = $4000
Conversion of Equity Shares = 4700 x $20 = $94000
Paid in Capital in Excess of Par = $192000 + $4000 - $94000
= $102000
Henry, Luther, and Gage are dissolving their partnership. Their partnership agreement allocates each partner 1/3 of all income and losses. The current period's ending capital account balances are Henry, $45,000; Luther, $37,000; and Gage, $(5,000). After all assets are sold and liabilities are paid, there is $77,000 in cash to be distributed. Gage is unable to pay the deficiency. What amount of cash will Gage receive upon liquidation
Answer: b. Debit Henry, Capital $42,500; debit Luther, Capital $34,500; credit Cash $77,000. Debit Henry, Capital $45,000; debit Luther, Capital $37,000; credit Gage, Capital $5,000; credit Cash $77,000.
Explanation:
The deficiency will apportioned to Henry and Luther equally.
Henry capital becomes = 45,000 - 2,500 = $42,500
Luther capital becomes = 37,000 - 2,500 = $34,500
The $77,000 will then be debited to their capital accounts to recognize the balance left in their accounts:
= 42,500 + 34,500
= $77,000
Credit Gage for $5,000 to recognize that Henry and Luther paid off the deficiency.

Quantitative Problem: Barton Industries expects that its target capital structure for raising funds in the future for its capital budget will consist of 40% debt, 5% preferred stock, and 55% common equity. Note that the firm's marginal tax rate is 25%. Assume that the firm's cost of debt, rd, is 9.0%, the firm's cost of preferred stock, rp, is 8.2% and the firm's cost of equity is 11.6% for old equity, rs, and 11.9% for new equity, re. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC1) if it uses retained earnings as its source of common equity
Answer: 9.49%
Explanation:
Formula for WACC:
WACC = (Cost of Equity * Weight of equity) + [(Cost of debt * weight of debt) * (1 - tax rate)] + (Cost of Preference share * weight of preference share).
As we are using retained earnings, this is not a new stock issue so the relevant cost of equity to use is the old one.
WACC = (11.6% * 55%) + [(9% * 40%) * (1 - 25%)] + (8.2% * 5%)
= 9.49%
if you are going to create or own a business, what would it be? List at least 3 and cite your reasons why you have listed them.
Answer:
If I were to create a business, and had to choose three alternatives of commercial sectors in which to get involved, I would choose the following:
-Renewable energies, given that given the eventual disappearance of fossil fuels and the rise of electric cars, renewable energies will become the main source of power in the medium-term future.
-Mining of cryptocurrencies, inasmuch as these currencies have been classified as the money of the future, and the exponential growth they have had since their inception has been remarkable.
-Retail of essential consumer goods, such as food, as it is a necessary industry and whose consumption, despite the ups and downs of the economy, never declines.
Determine which one of these three portfolios dominates another. Name the dominated portfolio and the portfolio that dominates it.

Explanation:
Portfolio Yellow has a higher expected return than either portfolio Blue or Portfolio Purple which means that if we were evaluating the portfolios on return alone, Portfolio Yellow would dominate the other two.
However, we need to adjust for risk. The portfolio with the lowest standard deviation is the less riskier one of the three. That portfolio is Yellow which means that Yellow has both a higher expected return and a lower risk. It would therefore dominate the rest.
Geralt of Rivia is an independent contractor who specializes in monster-killing. His unique skills have earned him the bargaining power to sell his services at a high price to those willing to pay for the removal of infestations of fire elementals, rock trolls, royal wyverns, or the like. Geralt specializes only in hard-to-kill monsters, however, leaving the likes of basiliks and harpies, monsters lower on the totem pole, to less sophisticated monster slayers.
Given these facts, based on the Generic Business Strategies framework, we might say that Geralt occupies the_______ (1) quadrant of the framework.
When Geralt takes a contract from a rich village seeking his aid, they represent a/n _______(2)
Geralt often buys potions and elixirs from various alchemists to help his fighting ability. However, he can make these potions and elixirs himself if he has the time. If he were to do this instead of buying from the alchemists, this would constitute a form of________ (3)
When Geralt takes a contract, it usually requires about a week of planning and preparation, which includes trips to the armorer, time spent making alchemical concoctions that protect him during the confrontation with the monster(s), and the staking out of ideal fighting ground when the battle occurs. As such, Geralt ofter has to choose between contracts, sometimes accepting one contract while forgoing the opportunity to pursue another contract. As we have discussed, this decision constitutes a_________ (4).
Now, let's say that Geralt is governed by a neutral "Council of Witchers" that ensure that those who purchase Geralt's services (e.g., rich villages or principalities plagued by monster infestations) are well-served, and that Geralt spends their gold in ways that work toward the removal of the targeted monsters which these clients have paid to have removed.
We might say that this "Council" serves as Geralt's role in this arrangement. Geralt, in turn, serves as the ______(5) and that the purchasers of Geralt's services, such as rich villages, represent the________ (6) in this arrangement. х (1) differentiation (2) buyer х (3) forward integration (4) tradeoff (5) management х (6) party __________(7) agent
Answer: 1. Differentiation focus
2. Buyer
3. Backward Integration
4. Trade off
5. Board of directors
6. Principal
7. Agent
Explanation:
1. Geralt is using Differentiation focus strategy as it gives the customers a product which they believe is superior than other similar products although the price if the product is higher than others. The product is unique from other products.
2. When Geralt takes a contract from a rich village seeking his aid, they represent a buyer.
3. If Geralt makes the potions and elixirs himself if he has the time rather than buying from the alchemists, this would constitute a form of backward integration. This is because he's expanding his role by taking up a task that's being completed previously in the supply chain.
4. Since Geralt has to choose between contracts, this is a trade off. Trade occurs when we've to choose between alternatives. In this case, we forgo some at the expense of others.
5. Based in the information given, Geralt serves as the board of director.
6. Those who buy Geralt's services, such as rich villages, represent the Principal.
7. Geralt serves as the agent. He's the one negotiating contracts and supplying what's needed.

On January 1, 2020, Doone Corporation acquired 80 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Rockne Company for $448,000 consideration. At the acquisition date, the fair value of the 20 percent noncontrolling interest was $112,000, and Rockne's assets and liabilities had a collective net fair value of $560,000. Doone uses the equity method in its internal records to account for its investment in Rockne. Rockne reports net income of $170,000 in 2021. Since being acquired, Rockne has regularly supplied inventory to Doone at 25 percent more than cost. Sales to Doone amounted to $230,000 in 2020 and $330,000 in 2021. Approximately 30 percent of the inventory purchased during any one year is not used until the following year.
Requied:
a. What is the noncontrolling interest's share of Rockne's 2021 income?
b. Prepare Doone's 2021 consolidation entries required by the intra-entity inventory transfers
Answer:
(A). $32,800
(B). Entries are shown below.
Explanation:
(A) According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Net income of Rockne Company in 2021 = $170,000
Unrealized profit 2020 = $230,000 × 30% × 20% = $13,800
Unrealized profit 2021 = $330,000 × 30% × 20% = $19,800
So, Total income = $170,000 + $13,800 - $19,800 = $164,000
Now, noncontrolling interest's share of Rockne's 2021 income can be calculated as follows,
NCI share of Rockne's 2021 income = Total income × 20%
= $164,000 × 20%
= $32,800
(B). Journal entries for the given data are as follows,
1. Retained Earnings A/c Dr. $13,800
