Since, the options have not been given the question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:
Bill and Ralph both work as cashiers for fast food restaurants. They are paid minimum wage. They are attending a black-tie party in an upper-class neighborhood. They drove there from the same part of town and they don't know each other. While they feel out of place there, they feel an understanding with one another. From what we know, what best explains why
a. Ethnicity and race
b. Region
c. Socioeconomic status
Answer: c. Socioeconomic status
Explanation:
Socioeconomic status can be defined as social standing of a person in society. It is based on education, occupation, and income that a person has. The comparison of socioeconomic status may raise inequalities in the society.
Bill and Rslph can be related to each based on the same socioeconomic status. They are paid with minimum wage thus their socioeconomic status is low. They have an upper class neighborhood which is also creating a great difference in comparison with the neighborhood socioeconomic status.
Due to low economic and social help they feel out of place and they are on the same situations thus they can understand one another.
While on a hike with a tour group in the mountains, Derek gets mauled by a bear. No previous reports of bears in the area had been made. Derek wants to hold the tour company liable for his injury. Which of the following is most likely true?
A. Derek cannot hold the tour company liable because there is no way to prepare for or avoid a bear attack.
B. The company is not at fault because it does not owe Derek a duty of care.
C. Because most people would not expect something as dangerous as a bear encounter while on a hike, an assumption of risk defense will probably not protect the tour company.
D. Derek assumed the risk of a bear attack by joining the tour group, so he cannot hold the tour company liable.
Answer: D. Derek assumed the risk of a bear attack by joining the tour group, so he cannot hold the tour company liable
Explanation:
Derek has to accept that by joining the tour group, he assumed some the risk of some elements of danger amongst them the bear attack.
Even though there had been no prior attack by bears in the mountain, a mountain hike still has some inherent danger in it and this includes bears. He cannot hold the tour company liable using this reason alone.

Part E14 is used by M Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 22,000 units of this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: Per Unit Direct materials$4.70 Direct labor$9.30 Variable manufacturing overhead$9.80 Supervisor's salary$5.20 Depreciation of special equipment$3.60 Allocated general overhead$8.80 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $31.90 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part E14 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $34,000 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part E14 from the outside supplier should be:
Answer:
(29,800)
Explanation:
The computation of the financial advantage or disadvantage is shown below:
As we know that
Financial disadvantage = Cost of making - Cost of buying
where,
Cost of making is
= [(Direct material per unit + direct labor per unit + variable manufacturing overhead per unit) × units produced] + additional segment margin
= [($4.7 + $9.30 + $9.80 + $5.20) × 22,000 units] + $34,000
= ($29 × 22,000 units ) + $34,000
= $672,000
And, the Cost of buying is
= Units produced × offered price
= 22,000 units × $31.90
= $701,800
So,
Financial disadvantage is
= Cost of making - Cost of buying
= $672,000 - $701,800
= (29,800)
The following materials standards have been established for a particular product: Standard labor- hour per unit of output 3.3 hours Standard labor rate $16.15 per hour The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual hours worked 6,300 hours Actual total labor cost $103,635 Actual output 2,000 units What is the labor rate variance for the month
Answer:
The labor rate variance for the month = $1890
Explanation:
Given values:
Standard labor hour per unit = 3.3 hours
Standard labor rate = $16.15 per hour
Actual hours worked = 6,300
Actual total labor cost = $103,635
Actual output = 2,000 units
Now, we calculate the labor rate variance with the help of given information. Below is the calculation of Labor rate variance.
Labor rate variance = ( Actual labor cost) – (Standard rate × Actual hours)
= 103635 – (16.15 × 6,300)
= $1890

A. Treasury bonds are not completely riskless, since their prices will decline when interest rates rise.
B. Treasury bonds are completely riskless.
C. Treasury bonds have a very small amount of default risk, so they are not completely riskless.
Based on the information given in the following statement, answer the questions that follow:
New York City issued a general obligation bond for a canal in 1812. It was the first formal debt instrument with a fixed repayment schedule issued by a city.
2. Who is the issuer of the bonds?
A. The New York City government
B. Bank of New York
C. Federal Reserve Bank of New York
3. What type of bonds are these?
A. Treasury bonds
B. Municipal bonds
C. Corporate bonds
4. Which of the following statements is true about bonds?
A. An investor from Kansas that invests in a municipal bond issued by the State of Kansas will pay neither state nor federal taxes on the bond’s coupon payments.
B. An investor from Kansas that invests in a municipal bond issued by the State of Kansas will pay federal—but not state—taxes on the bond’s coupon payments.
5. Which of the following types of bonds has the least default risk?
A. Corporate bonds
B. Treasury bonds
C. Municipal bonds
Answer: 1. A . Treasury bonds are not completely riskless, since their prices will decline when interest rates rise.
2. A. The New York City government
3. B. Municipal bonds
4. A. An investor from Kansas that invests in a municipal bond issued by the State of Kansas will pay neither state nor federal taxes on the bond’s coupon payments
5. B. Treasury bonds
Explanation:
1. Treasury Bonds are known as the safest bonds in the world and so are generally considered risk-less. However this is not so as they still fall victim to Interest rate risk which is the risk that their prices will decline when interest rates rise because bond prices are inversely related to price.
2. The City of New York issued to bonds in question so it is a New York City Government bond.
3. Municipal Bonds are issued by a state, county or a municipality so the above is a Municipal bond as it was issued by the City of New York.
4. Municipal Bonds attract no Federal taxes and when buying a Municipal bond as a resident of the Municipality you are in, you will.not get charged the Municipal taxes either on the bond coupon payments.
5. Default risk is the risk that the issuer will not pay back. US Treasury Bonds are known as the safest in the world and have not been defaulted on in over a century. They therefore have the lowest default risk.

Answer:
Samantha and Adam
Gardening Business:
If each decides to specialize in what they are best at, Samantha will be specializing in either pulling weeds or raking up leaves and benefiting from the principle of Division of Labor.
Explanation:
According to britannica.org, division of labour is "the separation of a work process into a number of tasks, with each task performed by a separate person or group of persons. It is most often applied to systems of mass production."
Division of labor facilitates the deployment of machinery and technology to complete simple tasks, thereby reducing costs of production, developing specialized talents, and increasing profits. It also makes possible the invention of tools and other forms of innovations. This is because workers who are focused on the same task can learn the tasks in details and develop better solutions from their learning experiences.
A ___ necessity is a practice that is important for the safe and efficient of the business.
Answer:
business
Explanation:
A business necessity is a practice that is deemed important for the smooth running of business operation. It is a legal concept which can be used to create soft landings for employers regarding their employment decisions which may affect certain group of people. These group of people are unevenly affected or rejected because of certain employment requirements which is premised on the fact that the company has legal backing to do so for the efficient and effective management of the business.
Example is when a large number of people seeking employment are rejected by business owners due to certain criteria used even though they are qualified for the job, such scenario is termed business necessity.

Answer:
Project completion time: 21 weeksCritical Path: B - E - GES, EF, LS, LF are shown belowExplanation:
The earliest start is the latest of the earliest finish times of the predecessors. The earliest finish is the sum of earliest start and duration.
The latest finish is the earliest of the latest start times of the successors. The latest start is the difference of latest finish and duration.
The slack is the difference between earliest start (or finish) and latest start (or finish).
Project duration is the earliest start of the "Project Done" task. For purposes of computing slack, this (project duration) is taken to be the latest finish of the immediate predecessors.
The critical path is the sequence of tasks with 0 slack.
The amount of minutes you were active during the day is referred to as activity.
It's essentially the total amount of time you spent exercising in a 24-h cycle, and it may be anything from a gym aerobic or prenatal yoga class to brisk strolling.
Time to complete the project: 21 weeks
Below are the Critical Paths: B - E - G ES, EF, LS, LF.
The calculation has been attached below.
The earliest start is the latest of the predecessors' earliest finish times. The combination of the oldest start and endurance represents the earliest conclusion.
The latest finish is the earliest of the successors' latest start timings. The deviation between the newest finish and the length is the latest start.
The slack is the time between the earliest start (or finish) and the latest start (or complete) (or finish).
The beginning of the "Program Complete" task is termed the construction length. This (project duration) is regarded to be the most recent finish of the predecessors for the sake of computing slack. This (project duration) is regarded to be the most recent finish of the predecessors for the sake of computing slack.

A small grocery store sells fresh produce, which it obtains from a local farmer. During the strawberry season, demand for fresh strawberries can be reasonably approximated using a normal distribution with a mean of 40 quarts per day and a standard deviation of 6 quarts per day. Excess costs run 35 cents per quart. The grocer orders 49 quarts per day.
a. What is the implied cost of shortage per quart?
b.Why might this be a reasonable figure?
Answer:
(a)The implied cost of shortage per quart is = $4.75
(b) This could be viewed as reasonable figure, because is (approximately) equal to the loss per quart of strawberry.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Mean =μ = 40
Standard deviation =σ = 6
Excess cost= Ce =$0.35
The amount ordered =S₀= 49
Thus
Z =(49 -40)/6
=1.5
Now
From the Table Z, we have the service level which is,
P(X <49 ) = P(Z < 1.5)
= 0.9332
Since we know that,
Service level (SL) =Cs/Cs+Ce
So,
0,9332 =Cs/Cs+0.35
Thus
0.9332Cs + 0.35* 0.9332 =Cs
0.0668Cs =0.32662
Hence
Cs = $4.75
(a) The implied cost of shortage per quart is = $4.75
(b) Therefore,this could be regarded as reasonable figure, because is (approximately) equal to the loss per quart of strawberry.
(a) "$4.75" would be the implied cost of shortage per quart.
(b) Just because is equivalent to the loss of strawberry, this could be the reasonable figure.
According to the question,
Mean,
[tex]\mu = 40[/tex]Standard deviation,
[tex]\sigma = 6[/tex]Excess cost,
[tex]C_e = 0.35[/tex]Amount ordered,
[tex]S_o = 49[/tex]Now,
→ [tex]Z = \frac{S_o-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{49-40}{6}[/tex]
[tex]= 1.5[/tex]
With the help of Z-table, we get
→ [tex]P(X < 49) = P(Z < 1.5)[/tex]
[tex]= 0.9332[/tex]
As we know,
→ Service level, [tex]SL = \frac{C_s}{C_s+C_e}[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
[tex]0.9332 = \frac{C_s}{C_s+0.35}[/tex]
[tex]0.9332 C_s +0.35\times 0.9332 = C_s[/tex]
[tex]0.0668 C_s = 0.32662[/tex]
[tex]C_s = \frac{0.32662}{0.0668}[/tex]

You expect to receive annual gifts of $1,000 at the end of Years 1 and 2 and $1,500 at the end of Years 3 and 4. What is the correct present value of multiple annuities formula if the rate is 6 percent?
Answer:
PV of annuities =$3,021.53
Explanation:
The present value of the annuity would be as follows;
First annuity of $1000:
PV = A × (1- (1+r)^(-n)/r
PV = Present Value , r- rate of return, n-number of years
PV = 1000× (1- (1.06)^(-2)
PV= $1,833.39
The second annuity
PV = 1,500 x (1-1.06^(-2)× 1.06^(-2)= 1,188.140
PV = $1,188.140
PV of the annuities = $1,833.39 + $1,188.140 =$3,021.53
PV of annuities =$3,021.53

In the early 1980's, 7 people in the Chicago area were poisoned by Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide. Although the company's investigation showed that the tainted capsules had not been tampered with at the factories where they were produced, Johnson & Johnson took immediate action through a massive recall and offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or people responsible. Industry experts believe that this led to the brand's ability to recover from the negative publicity surrounding the "Tylenol Murders". Johnson & Johnson's actions illustrate:a) The power of the Food and Drug Administrationb) How managing negative publicity is impossiblec) The importance of sacrificing short-term profits for long-term credibilityd) The need to combat negative publicity with facts in order to maintain sales levelse) The importance of sustainability on public perception and the bottom line
Answer: c) The importance of sacrificing short-term profits for long-term credibility.
Explanation:
The Chicago Tylenol Murders of September–October 1982 shocked the United States and claimed the lives of 7 people and was due to a poisoned Tylenol capsules which is produced under a Johnson and Johnson subsidiary.
Johnson & Johnson have been hailed as heroes for their response to the issue because even though the facts showed that they were in the clear, they still not only sacrificed huge short term profits by recalling thousands of tablets but by also offering a massive reward for anyone who would come forward with information that would lead to the arrest of perpetrators.
This act of Corporate Altruism saved the company's brand because people were humbled by the lengths Johnson & Johnson went to.
This endeared the Johnson & Johnson brand in their hearts as a Credible company and proved infinitely beneficial in the long run.
This proves that sacrificing short term profits for long term credibility is quite beneficial.

The Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is the measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.
Ultimately, this implies that Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country.
Hence, GDP is the summation of the consumption (C), investment (I), net exports (N) [exports (x) - imports (M)] and government purchases (G).
Mathematically, GDP is given by the equation; [tex]GDP = C + I + N + G[/tex]
Where, consumption (C) is the personal spending by households on various goods and services for their own pleasure.
Investment is the spending by business owners on equipments and other inventories to enhance productivity.
Government purchases is the expenditures made by state, local and federal government on goods and services for the general public.
Net exports (N) is the subtraction of imports (M) from exports (X) in a country at a particular period of time.

Q-mart failed to include inventory that was kept in a separate warehouse in its 12/31 end-of-the-period inventory count. Consequently, the ending inventory on 12/31 was understated on the balance sheet. Explain how this error will effect the income statement.Asset understatedEquity understated
Answer:
a. The gross profit. net income and retained earnings at the end of year will be overstated.
b. Assets will be understated especially the current assets.
c. Equity will be overstated.
Explanation:
a. Explain how this error will effect the income statement income statement
When the income statement is being prepared, cost of goods sold must be computed and then deducted from the net sales revenue to arrive at the gross profit. The formula for calculating the cost of goods sold and gross profit is as follows:
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Net purchases - Ending inventory
Gross profit = Net sales revenue - Cost of goods sold
From the cost of goods sold, it can be seen that ending inventory is a deduction. Also, cost of goods sold is a deduction from the gross profit equation.
As a result these, the failure of Q-mart to include inventory that was kept in a separate warehouse in its 12/31 end-of-the-period inventory count will make the cost of goods sold to be understated, while the gross profit and the net income for the year as well as retained earnings at the end of the year will be be overstated by the amount of the omitted ending inventory.
b. Explain how this error will effect the Asset
Ending inventory is a component of the current assets in the balance sheet. As a result of this, the failure of Q-mart to include inventory that was kept in a separate warehouse in its 12/31 end-of-the-period inventory count will make the asset to be understated by the amount of the omitted ending inventory.
c. Explain how this error will effect the Equity
From part a. above, it can be seen that retained earnings at the end of the year will be be overstated by the amount of the omitted ending inventory.
Since the retained earnings for the year is a component of the stockholders equity in the balance sheet, equity will therefore be overstated by the amount of the omitted ending inventory as the gross profit and the net income for the year as well as retained earnings for the year were already overstated in the income statetement.
Equipment was acquired for $ 201 comma 000and has accumulated depreciation of $ 95 comma 000.The business exchanges this equipment for new equipment. The new equipment has a market value of $ 309 comma 000and the business pays $ 53 comma 000cash. Assume the exchange has commercial substance. The exchange results in ________.
Answer:
$150,000
Explanation:
The computation of exchange results is shown below:-
Before that we need to do the following calculations
Equipment value after depreciation = Equipment amount - Depreciation
= $201,000 - $95,000
= $106,000
New equipment value = Market value - Paid amount
= $309,000 - $53,000
= $256,000
Gain = New equipment value - Equipment value after depreciation
= $256,000 - $106,000
= $150,000
We simply applied the above formulas
Identify the key elements to incorporate when making a request for a claim or adjustment. Check all that apply. Communicating feelings politely Excessive detail Chronology of details Moderate tone Logical case Sincere praise
Answer:
1. Communicating feelings politely
2. Moderate tone
3. Logical case
4. Sincere praise
Explanation:
In the quest of engaging in business transactions between individuals and businesses, the business might sometimes not meet up to the customer's needs. When customers want to make their claims or request for an adjustment, it is vital that they communicate their feelings in a polite manner, use a moderate tone, build their case logically, and offer sincere praise to the organization in question. In so doing, their claims can be addressed in a civil manner and they would be more likely to get a positive result.
Offering excessive details and bombarding the organization with the chronology of details might lead to confusion as to the real problems to be addressed.
Nathan’s Athletic Apparel has 2,000 shares of 5%, $100 par value preferred stock the company issued at the beginning of 2017. All remaining shares are common stock. The company was not able to pay dividends in 2017, but plans to pay dividends of $22,000 in 2018.Required: 1. & 2. Assuming the preferred stock is cumulative and noncumulative, how much of the $22,000 dividend will be paid to preferred stockholders and how much will be paid to common stockholders in 2018? Cumlative Non Cumlativepreferred Dividends for 2018 preferred Dividends in arrears for 2017 Remaining Dividends to common stockholders Total Dividens:
Answer:
1.
Preferred stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $20000
Common stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $2000
2.
Preferred stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $10000
Common stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $12000
Explanation:
The preferred stock dividends are always paid before the common stock dividends.
Cumulative preferred stock is the stock which accumulates or accrues dividends if the dividends are partially paid or not paid at all in a particular year. These dividends are accrued and are required to be paid by the company whenever it declares dividends.
Non cumulative preferred stock does not accrue or accumulates dividends. Thus, if dividends are not paid in a particular year, the company has no obligation to pay these dividends ever in the future.
1.
If the preferred stock is assumed to be cumulative, then the dividends in arrears for 2017 will be paid in 2018 along with dividends for 2018 on preferred stock before paying the common stock holders.
Preferred stock dividend per year = 2000 * 100 * 0.05
Preferred stock dividend per year = $10000
Preferred stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = 10000 + 10000 = $20000
Common stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = 22000 - 20000 = $2000
2.
If the preferred stock is assumed to be non cumulative, then the dividends in arrears for 2017 will not be paid in 2018. Only the dividends for 2018 on preferred stock will be paid before paying the common stock holders.
Preferred stock dividend per year = 2000 * 100 * 0.05
Preferred stock dividend per year = $10000
Preferred stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $10000
Common stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = 22000 - 10000 = $12000
To be Lean means:
a. to be able to move quickly without significant penalty
b. to decrease economies of scale
c. to do the same things as Agile but modified just a bit
d. to reduce or eliminate waste from the system
Answer:
d. to reduce or eliminate waste from the system
Explanation:
Lean refers in business to generating more benefits to your clients using less resources and a company using lean principles tries to eliminate all the unecessary things that doesn't add value which are considered waste and increase its efficiency. According to this, the answer is that to be lean means to reduce or eliminate waste from the system.
The other options are not right because Agile and Lean are different methodologies and Lean helps to generate cost reductions that can create economies of scale. Also, to be lean it doesn't matter if you move quickly or slow as long as you eliminate the waste to give more value to customers.
Chegg "Topper Corporation has 130,000 shares of $1 par value common stock and 92,000 shares of cumulative 8.6%, $100 par preferred stock outstanding. Topper has not paid a dividend for the prior year. If Topper declares a $1.95 per common share dividend this year, what will be the total amount they must pay their shareholders?"
Answer:
Total divided= $1,761,800
Explanation:
The cumulative preference shares entire the investors to fixed amount of dividend. Where dividends are not paid during an accounting period, the unpaid dividend are carried forward and paid in arrears when profits become available in following accounting period.
Hence, before Chegg would pay common dividend the arrears of preference dividend must first be paid .
Preferred dividend = Dividend rate × Nominal value
Prior year Preferred dividend = 8.6%× 100× 92,000 = $791,200
Current year dividend = 8.6%× 100× 92,000 = $791,200
Common dividend = Div per share × units of common stock
Current year Common dividend = $$1.95 × 130,000 = $179,400
Total dividend = $791,200 +$791,200 + $179,400 =$1,761,800
Total divided= $1,761,800
Megginson, Inc. issued a five-year corporate bond of $300,000 with a 5% interest rate for $290,000. What effect would the bond issuance have on Megginson, Inc.'s accounting equation
Answer:
Megginson, Inc.
Effect of the Bond Issuance on Megginson, Inc.'s accounting equation:
(The account equation states that Assets = Liabilities + Equity.)
With the bond issuance, the Assets (Cash) will increase by $290,000 and the Liabilities (Bonds Payable) will increase by $300,000, and there will be a loss (Equity - Retained Earnings) of $10,000 in the form of Discount on Bonds. This discount on bonds is usually amortized over the bonds' life, thus increasing the interest payable.
Explanation:
The issuance of bonds is one of the means of obtaining finance for business operations. It is a long-term borrowing, which entities use to finance the activities when funds cannot be sourced from other sources or when it is considered cheaper to borrow from outside sources.
Blake and Ryan each invest $30,000 in a business and are given shares of stock in Jones Industries as evidence of their ownership interests. For this transaction, identify the effect on the accounting equation.
Answer:
Both asset and equity increases
Explanation:
As we are accepting investments from Blake and Ryan in the form of cash and offering our shares in exchange. This will result in our cash(asset) will increase by the value of $60,000 and Equity is also raising by issuing shares of $60,000 value to both Blake and Ryan equally.
g Using the Multiplier Model (and assuming the price level is fixed), if the economy is operating at $3,000 billion and the government policymakers have determined that the target level of income to reach is $3,500 billion, by how much must they increase government spending by to eliminate the recessionary gap if the mpe
Answer: a. $200 billion
Explanation:
The Multiplier Effect (MPE) is used to calculate the Multiplier which then shows how much the GDP of the country will increase if a certain amount of money is induced into it.
The formula is;
Multiplier = 1 / ( 1 - MPE)
= 1 / ( 1 - 0.6)
= 2.5
The economy is now operating at $3,000 billion but they would want it to operate at $3,500 billion.
The difference of $500 billion is the amount that policy makers would like to add to the economy.
The Multiplier of 2.5 means that for every $1 spent, $2.5 will be added to the economy.
To get a $500 billion increase therefore, they would need to spend;
= 500 / 2.5
= $200 billion.
If they spend $200 billion, $500 billion will be added to the economy by the Multiplier Effect.

2-b. Which of the two companies has the best acid-test ratio?
Garfunkel
Simon
Answer:
Please find the detailed answer in the explanation section
Explanation:
1. Current ratio = Curren assets / Curren liabilities.
For Simon:
Current assets are:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 620
Short-term investments $3,690
Net receivables $992
Inventory $510
Other current assets $335
Total current assets $6,147
Current liabilities are:
Accounts payable $7,220
Short-term debt $1,270
Other current liabilities. $0
Total current liabilities $8,490
So current asset is $6,147/$8,490
0.72:1
For Garfunkel:
Current assets are:
Cash and cash equivalents $2,920
Short-term investments $0
Net receivables $1,330
Inventory $203
Other current assets $477
Total current assets $4,930
Current liabilities are:
Accounts payable $4,285
Short-term debt $1,028
Other current liabilities. $1,306
Total current liabilities $6,619
So current asset is $4,930/$6,619
0.74:1
1b Simon current asset is 0.72 while Garfunkel's own is 0.74
Therefore Garfunkel with 0.74 has a better current ratio
