Answer:
A) 1,400
B) 1,055.85
Explanation:
An employee earns $25 per hour at 2 times the rate for all hours in excess of 40 hours per week
The employee works for 48 hours in that week
Social security tax rate is 6.0%
Medicare tax rate is 1.5%
Federal income tax= $239.15
(a) Gross pay= Regular pay+overtime
The regular pay can be calculated by multiplying the amount earned by the number of hours spent in the week
Regular pay= 40×25
= 1,000
The overtime can be calculated by multiplying the extra hours spent (48 hours-40 hours= 8 hours) by the amount earned and the rate
Overtime = 8× 25× 2
= 400
Gross pay= 1,000+400
= 1,400
(B) Net pay= Gross pay-Federal taxes withheld-Taxes payable
= 1,400-239.15-(6.0% of 1400-1.5% of 1,400)
= 1,400-239.15-84-21
= 1,055.85
Hence the gross pay is 1,400 and the net pay is 1,055.85
Suppose your friend is a music major who sings at weddings. She has no fixed or marginal costs for singing and has two types of customers: 20 customers think it is worth paying $200 to have her sing at their wedding, whereas 10 customers think her singing services are worth only $100. Il earn S if she can charge only one price to:________.
(a) If your friend is able to sing at each wedding and maximizes profits all customers.
(b) She will earn S If she can perfectly price discriminate.
Answer: a. $4,000
b. $5,000
Explanation:
a. If she can sing at each wedding but decides to maximise profits, she will only sing at the weddings of those paying her $200 as it is the higher of the two payment options.
Should she sing at the $200 customer weddings, she would make;
= 20 people * $200
= $4,000
b. Price Discrimination is the charging of different types of customers different prices for the same or similar goods.
If your friend knows how to perfectly charge the two different groups the different prices that they value her at then she will be able to attend and sing at both weddings making her revenue;
= (10* $100) + (20 * $200)
= 1,000 + 4,000
= $5,000

Explanation:
Cheek
900 x 2% = 18
net of discount 900 - 18 = 882
Boden:
6,000 x 1% = 60
Net of discount 6,000 - 60 = 5,940
Leight:
2,200 - 2,000 = 2,000 balance due
2,000 x 2% = 40
net of discount 1,960
Art Co:
1,200 - 200 = 1,000 balance due
1,000 x 2% = 20 discount
net = 1,000 - 20 = 980
On February 22, Brett Corporation acquired 250 shares of its $3 par value common stock for $26 each. On March 15, the company resold 66 shares for $29 each. What is true of the entry for reselling the shares
Answer: Credit Additional Paid in Capital $198
Explanation:
Brett Corporation reissued the Treasury Stock at $29 which was $3 higher than the amount they had repurchased it for.
When stock is sold for a price higher or lower than they are worth, the balance goes to the Additional Paid-in Capital account. If it is sold higher, the balance is Credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account and if it is sold for lower than it is worth, it is debited.
The Balance here is,
= $3 * 66 resold shares
= $198
This $198 will therefore be credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account.
The company has 15 employees, who earn a total of $1,960 in salaries each working day. They are paid each Monday for their work in the five-day workweek ending on the previous Friday. Assume that December 31, 2015, is a Tuesday, and all 15 employees worked the first two days of that week. Because New Year's Day is a paid holiday, they will be paid salaries for five full days on Monday, January 6, 2016. Use the information to prepare adjusting entries as of December 31, 2015.
Answer:
Preparation of the adjusting entries as of December 31, 2015.
Dr Salaries Expense 3,920
Cr Salaries Payable 3,920
Explanation:
Since we were been told in the question that all the 15 employees worked the first 2 days of that week, the Adjustment we therefore be $3,920( 1,960×2) . And the transaction will be recorded as:
Dr Salaries Expense 3,920
Cr Salaries Payable 3,920
The Adjustment will be :
1,960 x 2 = 3,920
Therefore the pay that occured in New Year's Day will not be used because it falls in the next year.
Ms. Parker would like to have $99.000 buy a new car in 8 yearsTo accumulate $99,000 in years, how much should she invest monthly in a sinking tund with 3% Interest compounded monthly?
Answer:
$1,161.23
Explanation:
For computing the monthly payment we need to apply the PMT formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $99,000
Future value or Face value = $0
RATE = 3% ÷ 12 months = 0.25
NPER = 8 years × 12 months = 96 months
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the monthly payment is $1,161.23
The following refers to units processed by a breakfast cereal maker in August. Compute the total equivalent units of production with respect to conversion for August using the weighted-average inventory method. Units of Product Percent of Conversion Added Beginning Work in Process 230,000 60 % Units started 570,000 100 % Units completed 620,000 100 % Ending Work in Process 180,000 70 %
Answer:
Total Equivalent Units Conversion 746,000
Explanation:
Breakfast Cereal Maker
Weighted-Average Inventory Method
Total Equivalent Units
Units Conversion Equivalent Units
Particulars %
Units completed 620,000 100 % 620,000
Add Ending WIP 180,000 70 % 126,000
Total Equivalent Units 746,000
The total Equivalent units are obtained by adding the percent of the units in the ending work in process inventory to the units completed and transferred out. This is the average weighted method of finding the equivalent units.
As only conversion is required we found out the conversion units only.

161214 20000 9%
500000 80518 8
250000 10% 4
Answer:
A) $11,978.10
B) 9%
C) 15 years
D) 6%
E) $78,866.84
Explanation:
Present Value Annuity Amount i = n =
A 3000 8% 5
242980 75000 B 4
161214 20000 9% C
500000 80518 D 8
250000 E 10% 4
A = $3,000 x 3.9927 = $11,978.10
B: annuity factor = $242,980 / $75,000 = 3.23973
using the annuity table, a 9% annuity for 4 years has a factor = 3.2397
C: annuity factor = $161,214 / $20,000 = 8.0607
using the annuity table, a 9% annuity for 15 years has a factor = 8.0607
D: annuity factor = $500,000 / $80,518 = 6.20979
using the annuity table, a 6% annuity for 8 years has a factor = 6.2098
E: annuity payment = present value / annuity factor = $250,000 / 3.1699 (annuity factor 10%, 4 years) = $78,866.84
Bill Phillips is developing a Monte Carlo simulation to value a complex and thinly traded security. Phillips wants to model one input variable to have negative skewness and a second input variable to have positive excess kurtosis. In a Monte Carlo simulation, Phillips can appropriately use:_________
Answer: Both of them
Explanation:
The Monte Carlo Simulation is a forecasting technique that allows one to find out the probability of occurence of different outcomes which may be difficult to come up with because there are multiple random variables involved.
Monte Carlo simulations are used in many diverse fields such as Finance, Engineering and Science.
As earlier mentioned, this simulation allows for multiple random variables so Phillips can use it to model both the variables to have different characteristics.
Small business owners' unique selling points (also known as benefits) that customers can expect from your goods or services, including benefits that differentiate your offering from those of the competition is known as:
Answer: Value proposition

A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $300,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment costs $250,000, and $100,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $750,000 per year for 10 years, at which time the land can be sold for $400,000, the building for $350,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items are estimated to total $475,000. If the company requires a MARR of 15% per year on projects of comparable risk, determine if it should invest in the new product line. Use the AW method. (Sullivan, 20180327, p. 234) Sullivan, W.

Answer:
$327,909.14
Explanation:
Calculation to determine if it should invest in the new product line.
First step
The Investment cost will be:
Land costs $300,000
Building costs $600,000
Equipment costs $250,000
Additional working capital $100,000
=$1,250,000
Annual revenue $750,000
Annual expenses$475,000
Market value:
$400,000 +$350,000 + $50,000 = $80,0000
N: 10 year
MARR: 15% per year
Using PW method
-$1250000 + ($750,000 – $475,000) (P/A, 15%, 10) +$ 80000(P/F, 15%, 10)
-$1250000-$275,000((1+15)^¹⁰−1/15(1+15)^¹⁰+$3000
Hence,
=-$1,250,000 – $275,000(5.0188) + $3000(0.2472)
= $327,909.14

Jolene hired Lacy to find a buyer for her house. Adam was interested in buying the house. If both Jolene and Adam agree, Lacy, a real estate agent, may represent both parties.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Lacy can represent both parties. If Lacy represents both parties this is known as dual agency.
As the “dual” agent Lacy handles all of the communications, paperwork, and negotiations between both parties, that is the buyer and seller who happens to be Jolene and Adam. She is supposed to remain neutral as the facilitator of the deal with no fiduciary duty to either side. Fiduciary duty is to uphold a client's interest in good faith an trust.
You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks (If one of the stocks has a beta of 0.66 and the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio? (Hint: Remember that the market has a Beta=1; also remember that equally invested means that each asset has the same weight- since there are 3 assets, each asset's weight is 1/3 or 0.3333). Enter the answer with 4 decimals (e.g. 1.1234)
Answer:
The beta of the other stock or stock B is 2.34
Explanation:
The beta of the portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. To calculate the beta for the portfolio, we use the following formula,
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolioAs the portfolio is equally as risky as the market, the portfolio beta is assumed to be the same as that of the market and the beta is 1.
The beta is the measure of systematic risk and a risk free asset does not have risk and has a beta of 0.
To calculate the Beta of stock B in the portfolio, we simply put the available values in the formula for the portfolio beta,
1 = 1/3 * 0 + 1/3 * 0.66 + 1/3 * Beta of B
1 = 0 + 0.22 + 1/3 * Beta of B
1 - 0.22 = 1/3 * Beta of B
0.78 * 3 = 1 * Beta of B
2.34 = Beta of B
Thus, the beta of the other stock or stock B is 2.34
Fortune, Inc., is preparing its master budget for the first quarter. The company sells a single product at a price of $25 per unit. Sales (in units) are forecasted at 39,000 for January, 59,000 for February, and 49,000 for March. Cost of goods sold is $12 per unit. Other expense information for the first quarter follows. Commissions 11 % of sales dollars Rent $ 20,000 per month Advertising 12 % of sales dollars Office salaries $ 74,000 per month Depreciation $ 49,000 per month Interest 11 % annually on a $270,000 note payable Tax rate 40 % Prepare a budgeted income statement for this first quarter. (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Budgeted Income Statement For Quarter Ended March 31
Sales $3,675,000
Cost of goods sold $1,764,000
Gross profit $1,911,000
Operating expenses
Commissions expense $404,250
Rent expense $60,000
Advertising expense $441,000
Office salaries expense $222,000
Depreciation expense $147,000
Interest expense $ 7,425
Total operating expenses $1,281,675
Income before taxes $629,325
Income tax expense $251,730
Net income $ 377,595
Explanation:
Commissions 11 % of sales dollars
Rent $ 20,000 per month
Advertising 12 % of sales dollars
Office salaries $ 74,000 per month
Depreciation $ 49,000 per month
Interest 11 % annually on a $270,000 note payable
Tax rate 40%
Sales = Number of units for first quarter × price per unit
= (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $25
= $3,675,000
Cost of goods = (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $12
= $1,764,000
Commissions expense = 11 % of sales = 11% × $3,675,000 = $404,250
Advertising expense = 12 % of sales = 12% × $3,675,000 = $441,000
Interest expense = 11 % annually on a $270,000
= 11% × 270,000 × 3/12
= $ 7,425
Income = Gross profit - total operating expenses
= $1,911,000 - $1,281,675
= $629,325
Income tax expenses = 40% × $629,325 = $251,730

Jake, a pharmaceutical sales representative, often takes lunch to doctors' offices. Over lunch with the doctors and their staffs, he reviews his company's products. Jake does not try to close a sale during these lunches. What type of personal selling does this describe
Answer:
The correct answer is: order-creaters.
Explanation:
To begin with, the area of personal selling there are three types of different approaches regarding the sales person and his proper way of selling. According to this theory, one of those types is the one named "order-creaters" and that concept comprehends the type of sellers that primarily focos on not to close the sale, but to persuade the regular customer to promote the product to other clients from the same audience. Therefore that Jake, when goes to have launch in the same place as the doctors, even though he does not want to make a sale, he is looking forward to establish a relationship that later favoured him in promoting the product.
How do you find the value of a bond, and why do bond prices change
Answer:
Explanation:
as the discount rate gets larger, the price of the bond will decrease. as the coupon rate increases, the bond price will increase. bond prices are calculated by taking the present value of the coupons and face value of bonds. If the coupons are larger, the present value of the coupons will also be larger.

25%C) What is the degree of operating leverage?
41. Using the degree of operating leverage and without changing anything in your worksheet, calculate the percentage change in net operating income if unit sales increase by 20%.
if unit sales increase by 20%, then profits should increase by 80%2. Confirm your calculations in Requirement 3 above by increasing the unit sales in your worksheet by 20%
A. What is net operating income?
(10,000 x 1.2 x $20) - (10,000 x 1.2 x $8) - $90,000 = $240,000 - $96,000 - $90,000 = $54,000B. By what percentage did the net operating income increase?
net operating income increased from $30,000 to $54,000 (an 80% increase)Explanation:
selling price $20
variable costs $8
contribution margin $12
break even point = $90,000 / $12 = 7,500 x $20 = $150,000
margin of safety = (current sales - break even) / current sales = $50,000 / $200,000 = 25%
degree of operating leverage = (quantity x contribution margin) / [(quantity x contribution margin) - fixed costs] = (10,000 x $12) / ($120,000 - $90,000) = $120,000 / $30,000 = 4
or contribution margin / net profits = $120,000 / $30,00 = 4

Suppose we hold a forward contract on a stock with expiration 66 months from now. We entered into this contract 66 months ago so that when we entered into the contract, the expiration was T = 1T=1 year. The stock price$ 66 months ago was S_0 = 100S 0 =100, the current stock price is 125125 and the current interest rate is r = 10\%r=10% compounded semi-annually. (This is the same rate that prevailed 66 months ago.) What is the current value of our forward contract? Please submit your answer in dollars rounded to one decimal place so if your answer is 42.67842.678 then you should submit an answer of 42.742.7.
Answer:
The current value of our forward contract is $105.1
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Spot - 6 months ago=$ 100
Spot - Current=125
Interest rate= 10%
Time=12 months
Therefore, to calculate the current value of our forward contract we would have to make the following calculation:
Forward Price=Spot price*e^(rt)
=$100*e^(0.1*0.5)
Forward Price=$105.1
The current value of our forward contract is $105.1
Jayne Butterfield, a single mother with three children, lived in Sacramento, California. Sarah Huckleberry also lived in California until she moved to New York City to open and operate an art gallery. Huckleberry asked Butterfield to manage the gallery under a one-year contract for an annual salary of $90,000. To begin work, Butterfield relocated to New York. As part of the move, Butterfield transferred custody of her children to her husband, who lived in London, England. In accepting the job, Butterfield also forfeited her husband's alimony and child-support payments, including unpaid amounts of nearly $45,000. Before Butterfield started work, Huckleberry repudiated the contract. Unable to find employment for more than an annual salary of $30,000, Butterfield moved to London to be near her children. She filed a suit in an California state court against Huckleberry, seeking damages for breach of contract. Should the court hold, as Huckleberry argued, that Butterfield did not take reasonable steps to mitigate her damages? Why or why not?
Answer:
No, the court should not hold in favor of Huckleberry.
Explanation:
The rule of mitigation that Huckleberry tries to use in her favor states that the non-breaching party (Butterfield) should have taken all the necessary steps to reduce her loss, e.g. take a job in New York. She probably argued that Butterfield leaving for England to meet with her children made things worse.
But in this case, Butterfield relied on Huckleberry's promise to organize her life and the well being of her children. Butterfield made a lot of changes and sacrifices in her life because of this, e.g. forfeiting unpaid alimony, transferring custody of her children , etc.
Moving to a different city or country requires a lot of work, expat life is not easy and not everyone can handle it. Butterfield took decisions that affected the lives of many people and she is not responsible for Huckleberry's breaching, the only party responsible for all this mess is Huckleberry and it is normal that Butterfield would want to go to where her children are.

Answer:
NPV = $2,357.77
IRR = 14.31%
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator.
Cash flow in year 0 = $-24,000
Cash flow each year in year 1 and 2 = $13,000
Cash flow in year 3 = 4,000
I = 8%
NPV = $2,357.77
IRR = 14.31%
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

A corporation can earn 7.5% if it invests in municipal bonds. The corporation can also earn 8.30% (before-tax) by investing in preferred stock. Assume that the two investments have equal risk. What is the break-even corporate tax rate that makes the corporation indifferent between the two investments? Assume a 70% dividend exclusion for tax on dividends. (Do not round your intermediate answer and round your final answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
32.13%
Explanation:
The computation of the break-even corporate tax is shown below:
As we know that
Municipal bond return = preferred stock return before tax × [1 - (1 - dividend exclusion) × Break even corporate tax]
7.5 = 8.30 × [1 - ( 1 - 0.70) × Break even corporate tax ]
7.5 ÷ 8.30 = 1 - 0.30 × Break even corporate tax
0.9036 = 1 - 0.30 × Break even corporate tax
0.30 × Break even corporate tax = 1 - 0.9036
So, Break even corporate tax is
= 0.0964 ÷ 0.30
= 32.13%
Basically we applied the above formula
Hulston Appliances Co. wants to introduce a new digital display, laser driven iron to the market. The estimated unit sales price is $44.00. The required investment is $88,000. Unit sales are expected to be 8,800 and the minimum required rate of return on all investments is 10.00%. Compute the target cost per iron.
Answer:
Target cost per unit = $43 per unit
Explanation:
Target cost is the cost at which a product must be produced and sold to achieve a desired profit margin
Target cost =(Sales revenue - (ROI × capital) )/ No of units
Target cost =( (44 × 8,800) - (10%× $88,000 ) )/ 8,800 guns
Target cost per unit = (387200 - 8800 ) / 8,800 units= $43 per unit
Target cost per unit = $43 per unit
