You are considering an investment that costs $152,000 and has projected cash flows of $71,800, $86,900, and -$11,200 for years 1 to 3, respectively. If the required rate of return is 15.5 percent, should you accept the investment based solely on the internal rate of return rule? Why or why not?
a. Yes; The IRR exceeds the required return.
b. No; The IRR exceeds the required return.
c. You cannot apply the IRR rule in this case.
d. Yes; The IRR is less than the required return.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
The IRR would give conflicting answers in this case because a stream of positive cash flows is followed by negative cash flow
IRR can only be used when a negative cash flow is followed by positive cash flows
In this question there are two negative cash flows in year 0 and year 3
For what reason might keeping an accounts payable subsidiary ledger be unnecessary for a business? A. if the business is very small B. if the business processes invoices for payment. C. if the business pays only on account D. if the business has more customers then vendors
Answer:
A. if the business is very small
Explanation:
Subsidiary ledgers are maintained to support the entries in the main ledger. They give more details of the individual items in the main ledger.
They are usually used when a company has large sales volumes to make sure transactions are accurate.
However in small businesses there no need for subsidiary ledger in a small company.
Accounts payable subsidiary ledger shows details of amounts owed to suppliers by a business.
When the business is very small there will be no need for this.

Jerry's company has launched a new product following the market penetration pricing. Thus, his products have a low price and he is spending a lot on the advertising product price.
Using a lower price during the initial offering of a new product or service, firms utilize penetration pricing as a marketing approach to draw clients to the new offering.
A new product or service can more easily enter the market and draw clients away from rivals thanks to a reduced price. Pricing for market penetration is based on the principle of initially offering a new product at low rates to attract the attention of as many consumers as possible.
A price penetration strategy seeks to increase market share by luring consumers to test new products in the hopes that they would remain loyal after prices return to normal. An online news site that offers a trial month of a subscription-based service is an example of penetration pricing.

On September 30, 2018, Corso Steel acquired a patent from Thermo Steel. The agreement specified that Corso will pay Thermo $1,000,000 immediately and then another $1,000,000 on September 30, 2020. An interest rate of 8% reflects the time value of money for this type of loan agreement.
What amount of interest expense, if any, would Corso record on December 31, 2019, the company’s fiscal year end?
a. $68,687.
b. $80,000.
c. $60,000.
d. $69,959.
Answer: $69,959
Explanation:
The amount of interest expense, that Corso will record on December 31, 2019, the company’s fiscal year end will be calculated thus:
First, we calculate the present value of payment which will be made on September 30,2020 and this will be:
= $1000000 × 0.857339
= $857339
Then, the interest expense on December 31,2018 will be:
= $857339 × 8%/12 × 3
= $17147
Therefore, the Interest expense on December 31,2019 will be:
= ($857339 + $17147) × 8%
= $874486 × 0.08
= $69959

Answer:
Annual depreciation= $8,160
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $56,000
Useful life= 10 years
Salvage value= $5,000
To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Year 1:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(56,000 - 5,000) / 10]
Annual depreciation= $10,200
Year 2:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(51,000 - 10,200) / 10]
Annual depreciation= $8,160

Speedy has net income of $30,955, and assets at the beginning of the year of $212,000. Assets at the end of the year total $258,000. Compute its return on assets.
Answer:
13.17%
Explanation:
Given that;
Net income = $30,955
Asset at the beginning of the year = $212,000
Asset at the end of the year = $258,000
Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets
But,
Average total assets = (Assets at the beginning of the year + Assets at the end of the year ) / 2
Average total assets = ($212,000 + $258,000) / 2
Average total assets = $235,000
Therefore,
Return on assets = ($30,955 / $235,000) × 100
Return on assets = 13.17%
Dallas Company uses a job order costing system. The company's executives estimated that direct labor would be $2,310,000 (210,000 hours at $11/hour) and that factory overhead would be $1,510,000 for the current period. At the end of the period, the records show that there had been 190,000 hours of direct labor and $1,210,000 of actual overhead costs. Using direct labor hours as a base, what was the pre-determined overhead rate?
a. $5.17 per direct labor hour.
b. $7.00 per direct labor hour.
c. $6.42 per direct labor hour.
d. $5.84 per direct labor hour.
e. $6.25 per direct labor hour.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $7.19 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated direct labor hours= 210,000
Estimated overhead costs= $1,510,000
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,510,000 / 210,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $7.19 per direct labor hour
While on vacation, Kyle Kingston, the president and chief executive officer of Remstat, Inc., is called by the CEO of Viokam Corporation, who asks Kingston if Remstat would be interested in buying 25 percent of the outstanding shares of Viokam. Remstat is a billion dollar conglomerate which has contemplated acquiring Viokam for some time. Kingston tells Viokam's CEO that Remstat is not interested. Kingston tells Viokam’s CEO, however, that KKIM, Inc., would be willing to buy the shares of Viokam. Kingston is the 100 percent shareholder of KKIM. Viokam sells the shares to KKIM for $35 million. A year later, KKIM sells the shares for $55 million to a mutual fund company. When Remstat's directors discover KKIM's purchase and sale of the Viokam shares, they bring an action against Kingston on behalf of Remstat. Which of the following is correct?
1. Kingston may be held liable to Remstat because he usurped a corporate opportunity.
2. Kingston may not be held liable to Remstat because he became aware of this opportunity outside the scope of his duties as an officer of Remstat.
3. Kingston may not be held liable to Remstat because he acted within the discretion afforded him under the business judgment rule.
4. Kingston may be held liable to Remstat because he exceeded his authority to act for the corporation.
Answer: A. Kingston may be held liable to Remstat because he usurped a corporate opportunity.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the correct option is that Kingston may be held liable to Remstat because he usurped a corporate opportunity.
Usurpation of a corporate opportunity is typically regarded as a form of breach of duty and it arises when a worker in a particular company uses the information that he has for his own personal gain.
In this case, Kingston is the 100 percent shareholder of KKIM and uses the information that he has regarding the sabres to his benefit.
Therefore, the correct option is A.

Assume that the price of oranges increases to $2, while the price of apples remains at $1, and Linda allocates $5 of the weekly food budget to purchasing apples and oranges. If Linda wants to maximize her utility, her new consumption bundle will consist of:_______
a. 1 apple and 2 oranges.
b. 3 apples and 1 orange.
c. 5 apples and no oranges.
d. none of the above
Answer:
The correct option is d. none of the above.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of the ratios of the marginal utility to price of each of Apples and Oranges assuming that the price of oranges increases to $2, while the price of apples remains at $1.
For two goods, utility is maximized at a point where the ratios of the marginal utility to price of the two commodities are equal. That is, for this question, Linda will maximize her utility when we have:
Marginal Utility of Apples / Price of Apples = Marginal Utility of Oranges / Price of Oranges ............... (1)
From the attached excel file, it can be observed that equation (1) does NOT hold anywhere. Therefore, the correct option is d. none of the above.

All sales are on credit. Recent experience shows that 28% of credit sales are collected in the month of the sale, 42% in the month after the sale, 27% in the second month after the sale, and 3% prove to be uncollectible. The product's purchase price is $110 per unit, 60% of purchases made in a month is paid in that month and the other 40% is paid in the next month. The company has the policy to maintain an ending monthly inventory of 18% of the next month's unit sales plus a safety stock of 180 units. The April 30 and May 31 actual Inventory levels are consistent with this policy. Selling and administrative expenses for the year are $1,584,000 and are paid evenly throughout the year In cash. The company's minimum cash balance at the month-end is $120,000. This minimum is maintained, If necessary, by borrowing cash from the bank. If the balance exceeds $120,000, the company repays as much of the loan as It can without going below the minimum. This type of loan carries an annual 13% interest rate. On May 31, the loan balance is $39,500, and the company's cash balance Is $120,000

A good is non-rivalrous if:____.
A. It is not possible to prevent an individual from using the good.
B. Those who are unwilling or unable to pay for the good do not obtain its benefits.
C. The quantity of the good is affected by the price a consumer pays for the good.
D. One person's benefit from the good does not reduce the benefit available to other people.
Answer:
D. One person's benefit from the good does not reduce the benefit available to other people.
Explanation:
A product (good) can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.
According to the economist Philip Kotler in his book titled "Marketing management" he stated that, there are five (5) levels of a product. This includes;
1. Core benefit.
2. Generic product.
3. Expected product.
4. Augmented product.
5. Potential product.
The core benefit of a product can be defined as the basic (fundamental) wants or needs that is being satisfied, met and taken care of when a customer purchase a product.
A non-rivalrous product (good) is one in which a person's (buyer's) benefit from through the purchase of a good does not reduce or annul the benefit available to other people.
