Robin Company wants to earn a 6% return on sales after taxes. The company’s effective income tax rate is 40%, and its contribution margin is 30%. If Robin has fixed costs of $240,000, the amount of sales required to earn the desired return is
Answer:
Answer is 1,200,000
Explanation:
return on sales after taxes = 6%
effective income tax rate = 40%, contribution margin = 30%.
Robin has fixed costs = $240,000,
We are to find the amount of sales required to earn the desired return using the information above.
Profit = Contribution - Fixed Cost
Assuming sales = K
6/(100-40)K = (30/100)K -240,000
0.1K =0.3K -240,000
0.2K =240,000
K = 240,000/0.2
so K =1,200,000.
Harry has a Personal Auto Policy (PAP) with liability limits of 100/$300/$50 and medical payments limits of $5,000 insuring his SUV. Harry also has other than collision and collision coverages with deductibles of $250 and $500, respectively. The local taxicab drivers are on strike and Harry decides to capitalize on the situation by transporting persons in his SUV for a fee. While transporting a businessman, Harry loses control of his SUV and hits a parked car. The damages are as follows:
Harry's medical costs - $2,000The businessman's medical costs - $1,000Damage to the parked car - $14,000Damage to Harry's car - $12,000How much, if any, will Harry's PAP insurer pay for damages under Part A—Liability Coverage?A. $0B. $14,000C. $17,000D. $29,000
Answer:
A) $0
Explanation:
The personal automobile policy (PAP) is an automobile insurance contract which most people purchase in order to protect their automobile from costs that may arise due to auto accidents.
Under the Part A—Liability Coverage, there are exclusions whereby the insurer won't pay for any damage, and one of the exclusions states that "for that “insured’s” liability arising out of the ownership or operation of a vehicle while it is being used as a public or livery conveyance, no liability coverage would be provided."
In this case, since Harry used his SUV to transport people for a fee, Harry's PAP insurer won't pay for damages under Part A—Liability Coverage because he used his SUV for livery conveyance.
Some quotes were stated from "Types of Automobile Policies and the Personal Automobile Policy"
On January 1, 2021, Perez Co. issued at par $10,000 of 6% bonds convertible in total into 1,000 shares of Perez's common stock. No bonds were converted during 2021. Throughout 2021, Perez had 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Perez's 2021 net income was $4,500, and its income tax rate is 30%. No potentially dilutive securities other than the convertible bonds were outstanding during 2021. Perez's diluted earnings per share for 2021 would be:_________.a. $5.00.
b. $4.54.
c. $4.50.
d. $4.72.
Answer:
EPS = $4.50
diluted EPS = $2.46
Explanation:
no option is correct since EPS = $4.50, and the rest of the options are all higher amounts. Diluted EPS are always smaller than EPS.
common stock outstanding = 1,000 stocks
bonds shares (diluted) = 1,000 stocks
net income = $4,500
bond interest = $10,000 x 6% x (1 - 30%) = $420
diluted earnings per share = ($4,500 + $420) / (1,000 shares + 1,000 shares) = $4,920 / 2,000 shares = $2.46
If a Starbucks tall latte cost $3.20 in the United States and 3 euros in the Euro area, then purchasing-power parity implies the nominal exchange rate is how many euros per dollar?
a. .938 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs more dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.
b. .938 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs fewer dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. then in the Euro area.
c. 1.067 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs more dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.
d. 1.067 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs fewer dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.
Answer:
a. .938 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs more dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.
Explanation:
We can see in the example that the Euro is cheaper than the dollar in purchasing-power parity. More specifically, the exchange rate is .938 euros per dollar.
This is why it is more expensive to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in Europe. The Euro is cheaper.
Last year, Rotterdam, Inc. had sales revenue of $980,000. Costs other than depreciation and interest expense were 20 percent of sales. Depreciation expense was $50,000, interest expense was $95,000, and dividends paid were $23,000. The company also received dividends of $8,000 from a company in which it had 30% ownership stake. Which of the following statements is most CORRECT?a. The firm's taxable income was $637,400. b. The firm's after-tax income was $405,564. c. The firm's marginal tax rate was 39 percent. d. The firm's tax for the year was $113,900. e. None of the above
Answer:
e. None of the above
Explanation:
total revenue $980,000
- operating costs $196,000
- depreciation $50,000
- interests $95,000
income $639,000
+ dividends from outside corporation = $8,000 x (1 - 80% DRD) = $1,600
total taxable income = $639,000 + $1,600 = $640,600
current corporate tax is 21%, so the company's marginal tax rate would be 21%
income taxes for the year = $640,600 x 21% = $134,526
the company's after tax income = $640,600 - $134,526 = $506,074
Sexton Corp. has current liabilities of $510,000, a quick ratio of .93, inventory turnover of 6.9, and a current ratio of 1.5. What is the cost of goods sold for the company?
Answer:
The cost of goods sold for the company is $2,005,830.
Explanation:
This can be calculated from the available information using the following steps:
Step 1: Calculation of Current Assets
To do this, we use the current ratio formula as follows:
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Substituting the values in the question into the equation above and solve for Current Assets, we have:
1.5 = Current Assets / $510,000
Current Assets = $510,000 * 1.5 = $765,000
Step 2: Calculation of Inventory
To do this, we use the Quick Ratio formula as follows:
Quick ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities
Substituting the values in the question and from Step 1 into the equation above and solve for Inventory, we have:
0.93 = ($765,000 - Inventory) / $510,000
0.93 * $510,000 = $765,000 - Inventory
$474,300 = $765,000 - Inventory
$474,300 + Inventory = $765,000
Inventory = $765,000 - 474,300 = $290,700
Note that this inventory of $290,700 is the ending inventory.
Step 3: Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold
To do this, we use the Inventory Turnover formula as follows:
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average Inventory
Note that average Average Inventory is the addition of the beginning and closing inventory divided by 2. But since the beginning inventory is not available, the practice is to use the ending inventory in place of the average inventory. This is what we do here below.
Substituting the values in the question and from Step 2 into the equation above and solve for Cost of goods sold, we have:
6.9 = Cost of goods sold / $290,700
Cost of goods sold = 6.9 * $290,7000 = $2,005,830
Therefore, the cost of goods sold for the company is $2,005,830.

Which of the following is a community lifeline
Answer:
Safety and security
food, water, and shelter
health and medical
power and fuel
communications and transport
Explanation:
A lifeline allows business and government structures to continue to operate and is beneficial to human health and financial stability. Lifelines are perhaps the most important resources in the community that allow all other facets of society to work when balanced. The interconnected network of resources, services, and securities ( food, water, and shelter, medical care, communications facilities, etc) that provide lifeline services is used on a daily basis to facilitate the community's regularly occurring needs and give all other elements of society to perform efficiently.
Communications are the Community's lifeline. Safety and security, health and medical care, communications, hazardous materials, food, water, shelter, energy (power & fuel), and transportation are the seven community lifelines that FEMA has defined. Thus, option C is correct.
The Community Lifelines idea from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is a framework for event management that gives emergency managers a reporting system to swiftly stabilize a community after a disaster.
Safety and security, health and medical care, communications, hazardous materials, food, water, shelter, energy (power & fuel), and transportation are the seven community lifelines that FEMA has defined. It is a sign that lives are in danger, and daily routines and food chains are disturbed, if any of these Lifelines go down due to a disaster or emergency.

In order to record the adjusting entry needed under the lower-of-cost-or-market rule, the Merchandise Inventory will be ________. Group of answer choices debited by $8,500 credited by $8,500 debited by $1,000 credited by $1,000
Answer:
Credit inventory 1000 and debit COGS 1000
Explanation:
19*500=9500 <price it is recorded at currently
The rule requires lower cost - market vs. price. Since market cost is lower, you have to find out how much the ending inventory balance should be
17*500=8500
9500-8500=1000
The inventory booked should be lowered, thus requiring credit entry of 1000. Since it is a merchandise loss, it is counted towards cost of goods sold expense, thus debit

Typically, the firms' lowest cost source of financing is ____________ as its cost is tax deductible and it also tends to offer the least amount of risk for investors. Group of answer choices Debt Preferred Equity Derivatives Common Equity Equity
Answer:
Debt
Explanation:
Debt is the lowest cost source of financing because the interest return given to holders of debt has a tax shield (tax deductible) that is provided by the Section 11j of the Income tax Act.
The other sources of finance give a return in form of dividends. Dividends are are not tax deductible hence they attract a huge cost.
Hubert: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic. Kate: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic. Manuel: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time. Poornima: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic. Shen: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic. Who could possibly be right
The complete part of the question.
The price of coffee fell sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations
Answer:
Kate, Manuel and Poornima
Explanation:
Given that, the price of coffee fell but the quantity sold remained the same.
1. Hubert: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic.
If an elastic demand shifts the demand curve will move to the left. This would cause both prices as well as quantity to decline. So HUBERT's statement is not correct.
2. Kate: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic.
This can be true, because of the inelastic supply curve. If the supply curve is an inelastic vertical line then a fall in demand will not affect quantity while the price will fall. So, KATE's statement can be right.
3. Manuel: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time.
If there is a decrease in the demand curve, it will shift to the left. Now, if there is an increase in the supply by the same amount the price will fall but quantity will remain the same. So, MANUEL's statement is right.
4. Poornima: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic.
Here, the rightward shift in the supply curve will cause the price to fall but quantity will remain the same. So, POORNIMA's statement is right.
5. Shen: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic.
if the demand curve is unitary elastic, an increase in supply will cause the price to fall and quantity to increase. So, SHEN's statement is not correct.
Why are adjustments made to the accounting records at the end of the period? (You may select more than one answer. Single click the box with the question mark to produce a check mark for a correct answer and double click the box with the question mark to empty the box for a wrong answer. Any boxes left with a question mark will be automatically graded as incorrect.)
Answer: a. To ensure assets and liabilities are reported at appropriate amounts.
b. To ensure the related revenues and expenses are reported in the proper period.
Explanation:
Adjustments must be made at the end of the period to make sure that the figures in the books are the proper and true reflection of the transactions that took place. That way records are neither overstated or understated thereby giving the users of the Accounting records a proper and accurate opportunity to assess the company's financial standing.
Records must also be adjusted to abide by the Accrual basis in accounting which posits that revenues and expenses should be recorded only in the periods when they occured regardless of if money has been received or paid for them. This way it is easier to match Expenses as well as Revenue to their respective periods.

Jason just joined a new gym and signed up for a one-year membership. Membership fees can be paid in 12 monthly payments of $50, due at the beginning of each month or in one payment today. If the appropriate interest rate is 11%,.How much should he pay today for the annual membership?
Answer:
$570.91
Explanation:
For computing, the amount pay today for the annual membership we just need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment
Provided that
Future value = $0
Rate of interest = 11% ÷ 12 months = 0.916666%
NPER = 12 months
PMT = $50
The formula is shown below:
= PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the amount paid today for the membership is $570.91

Gall Manufacturing sells a product for $50 per unit. The fixed costs are $840,000, and the variable costs are 60 percent of the selling price. As a result of new automated equipment, it is anticipated that fixed costs will increase by $200,000 and variable costs will be 50 percent of the selling price. The new break-even point in units is
Answer:
41,600 units
Explanation:
The computation of the break even point in unit is shown below:
As we know that
Break Even Point:
= Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
where,
Fixed Cost = $840,000 + $200,000
= $1,040,000
And,
Variable cost per unit is
= 50% 0f selling price
= $50 × 50%
= $25
So, the break even point in units is
= $1,040,000 ÷ $25
= 41,600 units

a. could deliver more packages with the same budget by using more employees and fewer Vans
b. could deliver more packages the same budget by using more vans and fewer with employees
c. use more vans and fewer employees because the last dollars spent on vans added more to total output than the last dollar spent on employees
d. is delivering the maximum number of packages given the fixed budget
e. both b and c
Answer: e. both b and c
Explanation:
Van delivered 600 per week and cost $400.
The cost per package for the Van is;
= 600/400
= $1.5 per package
Employees delivered 500 and cost $300 which means the cost per package is;
= 500/300
= $1.67 per package.
The results show that it costs more to deliver with Employees ($1.67) than with the Vans ($1.5). Using more Vans will therefore allow for more packages to be delivered using a fixed budget as the last dollar spent on Vans gave more output than the last dollar spent on Employees.

Clay Earth Company sells ceramic pottery at a wholesale price of $ 5.00 per unit. The variable cost of manufacture is $ 1.25 per unit. The fixed costs are $ 6 comma 700 per month. It sold 4 comma 200 units during this month. Calculate Clay Earth's operating income (loss) for this month. A. $ 9 comma 050 B. $ 14 comma 300 C. ($ 6 comma 700) D. ($ 9 comma 050)
Answer:
A. $ 9 comma 050
Explanation:
The operating income(loss) of a business is the result of the sales less operating costs. The operating cost is made up of the fixed cost and the variable cost.
If the Sales is more than the operating cost, the business makes an income otherwise, a loss.
Sales = $5 * 4200
= $21,000
Operating cost = $1.25 * 4200 + $6,700
= $11,950
Operating income(loss) = $21,000 - $11,950
= $9,050

Answer:
Answer is Debit Vacation Benefits Expense $660 Credit Vacation Benefits Payable $660
Explanation:
Athena Company's salaried employees earn two weeks of vacation per year. It pays $858,000 in total employee salaries for 52 weeks but its employees work only 50. Record Athena Company's weekly journal entry to record the vacation expense:
Annual salary is $858,000 in total
The total no of weeks is 52 weeks
858,000 wages per year / 52 weeks per year = 16,500 per week
So per week salary is
The weekly wages for our employees are 16,500 dollars
For each of the two weeks of vacations , will be $ 16500 x 2
= $33,000
For weekly vacation expense
sice its for 50 weeks
= $33000 / 50
= $660
Therefore, Debit Vacation Benefits Expense $660 Credit Vacation Benefits Payable $660

Nielson Motors is considering an opportunity that requires an investment of $1,000,000 today and will provide $250,000 one year from now, $450,000 two years from now, and $650,000 three years from now. If the appropriate interest rate is 15%, then Nielson Motors should
Answer:
The NPV is - $14958.49 . The opportunity should not be pursued as the NPV of the project discounted at the interest rate of 15% comes out to be negative . Thus, Nielson Motors should not proceed with the project.
Explanation:
To determine whether the project should be accepted or not, we need to calculate the NPV or Net Present Value of the project. If the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.
The formula to calculate the NPV is attached.
NPV = - 1000000 + 250000 / (1 + 0.15) + 450000 / (1 + 0.15)² +
650000 / (1 + 0.15)³
NPV = - $14958.49429
The opportunity should not be pursued as the NPV of the project discounted at the interest rate of 15% comes out to be negative. Thus, Nielson Motors should not proceed with the project.
oe Smith, age 75, from Vienna, IL has the winning Powerball lottery numbers which will pay out $13 million at the beginning of each of the next 30 years (reported prize of $390 million). Before claiming his prize, Trusty Insurance Company offers Joe $200 million today in exchange for his winning lottery ticket and prize payout. What rate of return would Trusty Insurance earn if Joe accepts their offer?
Answer:
The IRR is 5%. Rate of return would be 12.5% assuming a discount rate of 4%
Explanation:
The answer depends entirely on the discount rate. The question covers a 30 period timeframe and in each period, the pay off is $13 million. This is a simple time value of money concept in which to calculate the present value, you will simply calculate the present value of each of the cash flows. The formula is 13Mn/[(1+r)^n] where n is the year from 1 to 30, r is the discount rate.
The question requires us to calculate the return that is the variable 'r'. For this you need to have the present value today so that you can then use the equation to solve for 'r'. However, the only information we have is the time period and the cash flow. We are given $200mn as the initial outlay. So, we can at least use this to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) which is simply the rate of return (or the value of 'r') at which the present value of each of the 13 Mn to be received over the next 30 years is equal to the initial outlay (i.e 200mn). In short, IRR is the rate of return at which the net present value (NPV) is equal to zero. In our example, and using the formula for each of the cash flow from years 1 to 30, the IRR is computated at 5%. So if the discount rate that the company uses is less than 5%, the company would be better of with Joe accepting the offer because any discount rate below 5% would result in the present value of the cash flows to be in excess of $200Mn.
Lets take an example and assume that the discount rate is 4%, using the formula from year 1 to 30 and summing the values would give us a present value of $225 Mn. So the rate lf return in this case would be (225-200)/200 x 100 = 12.5%.
In Ricci v. DeStefano, Ricci, a white firefighter, took and passed the City of New Haven firefighter's test, required of all applicants for promotion in the city's fire department. The test was thrown out when it was discovered that minorities scored poorly and the city feared a disparate impact-based lawsuit. How did the court rule?
A) An employer may not simply disregard a test based on unwanted results unless the test is shown to be biased or deficient.
B) Even though the test was prepared by a professional testing organization, the city has the right to reject the test results if minorities do not score adequately
C) Deliberately oversampling minorities to seek to create a fair test is irrelevant if the test results show that minorities still scored poorly
D) Ricci, as a member of the white majority, had no grounds to sue when the city was seeking the legitimate aim of nondiscrimination
Answer:
The correct answer is A. In Ricci v. DeStefano, the Supreme Court ruled that an employer may not simply disregard a test based on unwanted results unless the test is shown to be biased or deficient.
Explanation:
Ricci v. DeStefano is a Supreme Court ruling of 2009, after a lawsuit by nineteen firefighters who claimed to have been discriminated against in terms of career development. They denounced that they had been discriminated after having passed the admission tests and still had not been promoted, since no African-American candidate had passed the tests. They also denounced that they had not been promoted because the Fire Department did not want to promote a group of new recruits without including within it any member of racial minorities.
Finally, the Supreme Court established that said procedure violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, since in the case equal access to employment was not guaranteed (in this case, favoring minorities over white firefighters), for set different demands for purely racial reasons.
Quality Timber Pty Ltd is a well-established logging company. With below-average performance, their packaging department is consistently behind schedule. Employees often take long lunch breaks and frequently stop to chat with co-workers. However, the employees get along very well and frequently spend time together, even outside work. In this scenario, the performance norms are _____ and cohesiveness is _____, so productivity is ____.
Answer:
Quality Timber Pty Ltd
In this scenario, the performance norms are _below-average____ and cohesiveness is _ high____, so productivity is _low___.
Explanation:
It has been established that group norms influence individual behavior and group performance. Performance Norms refer to how a person should work in a given group and what his or her output should be.
Cohesion, according to wikipedia.com, "can be more specifically defined as the tendency for a group to be in unity while working towards a goal or to satisfy the emotional needs of its members." Employees of the packaging department tend to be enjoying so much group cohesiveness. But, they need to break some habits to focus on achieving corporate goals by increasing their productivity.
According to Paul Krugman of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, "Productivity is commonly defined as a ratio between the output volume and the volume of inputs. In other words, it measures how efficiently production inputs, such as labour and capital, are being used in an economy to produce a given level of output." A rough assessment of the packaging department employees' performance shows low productivity, as they are "consistently behind schedule and take long lunch breaks, and frequently chat with co-workers," instead of concentrating on their jobs.
Critically analyze the difference and points of convergence between floor inspection and functional inspection
Answer:
Please refer to the below;
Explanation:
Difference between Floor inspection and Functional inspection.
• Floor inspection is usually conducted in a production environment. It involves checking of materials while processing in the machine by inspectors. Rather than checking the materials in the machine at the beginning of production, floor inspection checks the materials while in process inorder to ensure that the defected ones are quickly detected and expunged. It also ensure that the equipments used in processing are properly functioning.
• Functional inspection is an inspection that checks the overall function of a product rather than what makes up the component parts. For instance the load capacity and speed of a vehicle can be checked for optimal performance whereas individual parts that make up the vehicle are not checked, yet bring out satisfactory performance when combined together. This form of inspection is concerned with verification of final output and does not provide details about different sections instead provides a wider understanding of comfort that emanate from inspecting same item.
Points of Convergence between Floor inspection and Functional inspection.
• The key objective of both floor and functional inspection is quality output having reviewed and examined their expectations.
• Both floor and functional inspection work to prevent defective product from flowing down the successive operations and avoid loss to the company
• Both floor and functional inspection aim at meeting customers requirements, wants and needs.
