Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Carlos had been thinking of setting up a graphic design service and has several leads for prospective customers and also has different ways to approach his new business which. include either by working alone or having a partner and he is critically thinking to determine the best option.
This means that he is developing alternatives. He is looking at a range of options in order to choose the.best one that will help him achieve his objective. Alternatives should reflect the different ways to tackle a problem.
Green Company is planning to introduce a new product with a 75 percent incremental unit-time learning curve for production in batches of 1,500 units. The variable labor costs are $55 per unit for the first 1,500-unit batch. Each batch requires 200 hours. There are $15,000 in fixed costs not subject to learning. What is the cumulative total time (labor hours) to produce 3,000 units
Answer:
210 hours
Explanation:
The learning curve rate can be found by log75%
Ln0.75 = 0.12249
1 batch requires 200 hours
The 1500 units batch will require 200 hours
For 3000 units there will be two batches of 1500 units each
200 hours * 2 batches * 0.12249 * 4.5 = 210 hours

Five years ago you took out a 30-year mortgage with an APR of 6.5% for $200,000. If you were to refinance the mortgage today for 20 years at an APR of 4.25%, how much would your monthly payment change by?
Answer:
-$104.79
Explanation:
Current Mortgage Payment:
P/Y = 12,
N = 360,
I/Y = 6.5,
PV = $200,000,
Solve
for PMT = $1,264.14
Current Mortgage Balance:
P/Y = 12,
N = 300,
I/Y = 6.5,
PMT = $1,264.14,
Solve
for PV = $187,221.9
New Mortgage Payment:
P/Y = 12,
N = 240,
I/Y = 4.25,
PV = $187,222.54,
Solve
for PMT = $1,159.35
Current Payment - New Payment
= $1,159.35- $1,264.14
= -$104.79
Testbank Multiple Choice Question 96 On June 30, 2021, when Bonita Industries's stock was selling at $66 per share, its capital accounts were as follows: Capital stock (par value $50; 58000 shares issued) $2900000 Premium on capital stock 580000 Retained earnings 4150000 If a 100% stock dividend were declared and distributed, capital stock would be $3480000. $5800000. $7656000. $2900000.
Answer:
$5800000
Explanation:
Stock dividend refers to a form of dividend payment whereby additional stock shares of the company are distributed to shareholders instead of paying the shareholders in cash.
Stock dividends are also known as stock spills and it increases the common stock par value by its declared percentage.
Since the a 100% stock dividend were declared and distributed, this would increase the common stock as follows:
Increase in common stock = $2,900,000 * 100% = $2,900,000.
Therefore, the new common stock would be:
New common stock = Existing common stock + Increase in common stock = $2,900,000 + $2,900,000 = $5,800,000.
Therefore, If a 100% stock dividend were declared and distributed, capital stock would be $5,800,000.

Despite the fact that the selling and admin expenses pf Tannenhill was higher than the industry average , it had a better performance in the cost of goods management which in effect caused Tannenhill to record a greater net income percentage compared to the industry performance.
The other income and expenses was the same with the industry average , hence no impact on the overall performance.
To illustrate the law of large numbers (see also Exercise 5.54 on page 172), use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to determine the probabilities that the proportion of heads will be anywhere from 0.49 to 0.51 when a balanced coin is flipped
(a) 100 times;
(b) 1,000 times;
(c) 10,000 times.
Answer:
(a) 0.1585
(b) 0.4713
(c) 0.9545
Explanation:
The random variable X can be defined as the number of heads.
The coin provided is balanced, i.e. P (H) = P (T) = 0.50
The outcome of tossing the coin are: (H and T). Each of these outcomes are independent of each other.
The random variable X thus follows a Binomial distribution with probability of success as 0.50.
For a large sample a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of p if the following conditions are satisfied:
1. np ≥ 10
2. n(1 - p) ≥ 10
(a)
n = 100
Check the conditions as follows:
[tex]np=100\times 0.50=50>10\\\\n(1-p)=100\times(1-0.50)=50>10[/tex]
Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.
So, [tex]p\sim N(0.50,\ 0.05 )[/tex]
Compute the probability hat the proportion of heads will be anywhere from 0.49 to 0.51 as follows:
[tex]P(0.49<p<0.51)=P(\frac{0.49-0.50}{0.05}<\frac{p-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.51-0.50}{0.05})[/tex]
[tex]=P(-0.20<Z<0.20)\\\\=P(Z<0.20)-P(Z<-0.20)\\\\=0.57926-0.42074\\\\=0.15852\\\\\approx 0.1585[/tex]
Thus, the probability hat the proportion of heads will be anywhere from 0.49 to 0.51 when a balanced coin is flipped 100 times is 0.1585.
(b)
n = 1000
Check the conditions as follows:
[tex]np=1000\times 0.50=500>10\\\\n(1-p)=1000\times(1-0.50)=500>10[/tex]
Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.
So, [tex]p\sim N(0.50,\ 0.016 )[/tex]
Compute the probability hat the proportion of heads will be anywhere from 0.49 to 0.51 as follows:
[tex]P(0.49<p<0.51)=P(\frac{0.49-0.50}{0.016}<\frac{p-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.51-0.50}{0.016})[/tex]
[tex]=P(-0.63<Z<0.63)\\\\=P(Z<0.63)-P(Z<-0.63)\\\\=0.73565-0.26435\\\\=0.4713[/tex]
Thus, the probability hat the proportion of heads will be anywhere from 0.49 to 0.51 when a balanced coin is flipped 1000 times is 0.4713.
(c)
n = 10,000
Check the conditions as follows:
[tex]np=10000\times 0.50=5000>10\\\\n(1-p)=10000\times(1-0.50)=5000>10[/tex]
Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.
So, [tex]p\sim N(0.50,\ 0.005)[/tex]
Compute the probability hat the proportion of heads will be anywhere from 0.49 to 0.51 as follows:
[tex]P(0.49<p<0.51)=P(\frac{0.49-0.50}{0.005}<\frac{p-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{0.51-0.50}{0.005})[/tex]
[tex]=P(-2<Z<2)\\\\=P(Z<2)-P(Z<-2)\\\\=0.97725-0.02275\\\\=0.9545[/tex]
Thus, the probability hat the proportion of heads will be anywhere from 0.49 to 0.51 when a balanced coin is flipped 10,000 times is 0.9545.
For a business credit card, most companies that issue credit, including Visa and Mastercard, specifically state their liability policies:
Only cover the first $50.00 of liability
Cover up to $500 of liability
Are the same as their business card accounts
Do not apply to business card accounts
Answer: Cover up to $500 of liability
Explanation:
When one suspect that there has been unauthorized transactions in ones accounts which could be due to fraud, such business or person can make a complaint as soon as possible.
As soon as the report is made, the person is no longer in charge of the unauthorized use of such card. In a case whereby the loss is reported within two days, the liability is limited to $50 but when the report is made within 60 days after ones statement has been sent to the person or business, this may lead to a liability of $500.
Cover upto liability of $500. If the report is made within 60 days of receiving statement that shows fradulent transactions. If it is not reported within 60 days then the liability is unlimited.
ete is a California resident who is serving in California when he is transferred to Virginia under Temporary Duty (TDY) assignment. His salary is $3,000 per month. Pete is transferred on April 1 of the current year. How much of his income is taxable in California
Answer:
$36,000
Explanation:
Temporary duty can't change anything when someone is domiciled in the state and a responsible resident of the state, therefore his whole income would be taxable as usual whether he is in the state or out of state.
Workings:
Financial year= 12 months
Monthly salary = $3,000
Taxable income= $3,000 x 12 months
Taxable income = $36,000
At the beginning of the period, the Grinding Department budgeted direct labor of $19,800 and property tax of $51,000 for 1,100 hours of production. The department actually completed 1,500 hours of production.
Required:
Determine the budget for the department, assuming that it uses flexible budgeting.
Answer:
Budget for the Grinding department is $78,000, assuming that it uses flexible budgeting.
Explanation:
Note: Fixed cost remain constant at any level of production
Budgeted Direct labor at 1,100 hours of production is
= Budgeted direct labor / hours
= 19,800 / 1,100
=$18 per hour
Direct labor cost at 1,500 hours of production is:
=1,500 * $18
=$27,000
Budget for the Grinding department at 1,500 hour of production is:
=Direct labor cost + Property tax
=$27,000 + $51,000
=$78,000

Blythe and Cali do business as Diamond Investments. In acting on the firm's behalf,Blythe makes an honest error in overestimating the value of a particular stock purchase. To her firm,Blythe is:__________.
A) liable for breach of the duty of care.
B) liable for breach of the duty of accounting.
C) liable for breach of the duty of accounting.
D) not liable.
Answer:
D) not liable.
Explanation:
Duty of Care is the legal expectation from individuals and businesses in the course of discharging their duties, not to engage in conduct that could be foreseen to predispose others to danger or harm. The Duty of Accounting or accounting responsibility requires an accurate record of transactions. Liability implies being legally answerable. In business transactions, businessmen owe it to their customers to provide their services and products in the best possible way so as to prevent causing harm to them. Employees also owe it to the organization they work for to discharge their duties carefully to avoid causing them loss.
Blythe's honest error in overestimating the value of a particular stock purchase is a mistake that anyone can make and can be easily corrected. Her company would not go the long route of taking her to court over such a mistake. Therefore, Blythe is not liable to her company.
. Nestle Co. paid $130,000 for a machine used to mill oats. The annual contribution margin from oat sales is $60,000. The machine could be sold for $80,000. The opportunity cost of producing the oats is ________. Question 20 options: $130,000 $0 $80,000 $20,000 $60,000
Answer:$80,000
Explanation:
Opportunity cost refers to an alternative forgone that is the value one could have received but declined to take the next best alternative according to his or her preference.
Here , Nestle has two choices to make, it can decide to produce oats or sell the machine, but taking the option of producing oats leaves the option of selling the machine at $80,000 as the Opportunity cost.
Alsup Consulting sometimes performs services for which it receives payment at the conclusion of the engagement, up to six months after services commence.

c) The temporary difference between taxes as per accounting income and taxes as per tax regulation is recorded in the books through Deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability. When accounting income is more than tax income it would imply more taxes need to be paid in future, so a deferred tax liability account is created.
d) Tax Computations: The prevalent tax rate of 40% is multiplied with the pre-tax accounting income, the pre-tax taxable income, and the temporary differences in income respectively to obtain their respective taxes. Ordinarily, the differences in the tax amounts of accounting income and taxable income is deferred tax asset/liability. The deferred tax asset and liability can still be obtained separately as we have done in this case. They give the same results.
company is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $90,000. Predicted annual net cash inflows from the investment are $36,000 (Year 1), $30,000 (Year 2), $18,000 (Year 3), $12,000 (Year 4), and $6,000 (Year 5). The average operating income generated from the investment over its 5-year life is $20,400. The cash payback period is 3.5 years true false
Answer:
The cash payback period is 3.5 years. The answer is True.
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Year Cash flows Cumulative Cash flows
0 (90,000) (90,000)
1 36,000 (54,000)
2 30,000 (24,000)
3 18,000 (6000)
4 12000 6000
5 6000 12,000
To calculate the cash payback period we use the following formula:
Payback period=Last period with a negative cumulative cash flow+(Absolute value of cumulative cash flows at that period/Cash flow after that period).
Payback period=3+($6,000/$12,000)
Payback period=3.5 years
The cash payback period is 3.5 years. True
Crane Company incurs these expenditures in purchasing a truck: cash price $23,030, accident insurance (during use) $1,690, sales taxes $1,380, motor vehicle license $670, and painting and lettering $2,140. What is the cost of the truck
Answer:
$27,220
Explanation:
Cost of the truck includes : Cash price + sales tax + motor vehicle license + painting and lettering
accident insurance would not be added because its a revenue expenditure as it will reoccur after a year.
$23,030 + $670 + $2,140 + $1,380 = $27,220
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
$27,220
Explanation:
From the question above Crane company incurs the following expenditures in purchasing a truck
Cash price = $23,030
Accident insurance during use= $1,690
Sales tax= $1,380
Motor vehicle license= $670
Painting and lettering= $2,140
Therefore, the cost of the truck can be calculated as follows
= $23,030+$1,380+$670+$2,140
= $27,220
The accident insurance is not added to find the cost of the truck because it doesn't add any value and can happen again the following year.
Hence the cost of the truck is $27,220
After examining a planning gap, firms typically attempt to decide if the time horizon should be increased or decreased. perform a SWOT analysis with their major competitor as the focus. use statistical trend analysis to interpret the results. exploit a positive deviation and correct a negative deviation. adopt a product-market focus.
Answer: exploit a positive deviation and correct a negative deviation
Explanation:
A planning gap is the difference that occurs in revenue or profits gap when current strategies are not changed. The gap analysis can help in the identification of gaps in the market. Therefore, when an organization compares its forecast profits to the company's desired profits, the planning gap will be shown.
When the actual results are lesser than the planned result, the organization would have to fill the gap with a marketing program which has been revised and sometime with new goals. Therefore, the firm can then decide whether to exploit wither a positive deviation and correct a negative deviation.

Evans Inc. had current liabilities at April 30 of $69,400. The firm's current ratio at that date was 1.7. Required: Calculate the firm's current assets and working capital at April 30. Assume that management paid $14,300 of accounts payable on April 29. Calculate the current ratio and working capital at April 30 as if the April 29 payment had not been made. (Round "Current ratio" answer to 2 decimal places.) Identify the changes, if any, to working capital and the current ratio that would be caused by the April 29 paym
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
Given:
Current liabilities at April 30 of $69,400
Current ratio = 1.7
a) Calculate the firm's current assets and working capital at April 30:
Use the formula below to find the firm's current assets:
current ratio= current asset/current liability
current asset = current ratio × current liability
current asset = 1.7 × $69,400
Current asset = $117,980
For working capital:
Working capital= current assets-current liability
= $117,980 - $69,400
= $48,580
Working capital = $48,580
b) Calculate the current ratio and working capital at April 30 as if the April 29 payment had not been made:
New current assets = $117,980 + $14,300 = $132,280
New current liability = $69,400 + $14,300 = $83,700
Working capital = $132,280 - $83,700 = $48,580
Current ratio = 132,280/83700 = 1.58
c) There is no change in the working capital.
The current ratio will decrease by 0.12 (1.7 - 1.58) due to payment on 29th April

The next dividend payment by Savitz, Inc., will be $1.68 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $32 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
The answer is 11.25%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The next step to take is to calculate the required rate of return which is shown below:
The required rate = D₁/P₀₀ + g
Thus,
$1.68/$32 + 0.06%
=0.0525 + 0.06
=0.1125 or 11.25%
Therefore, the required rate of return is 11.25%
An important application of regression analysis in accounting is in the estimation of cost. By collecting data on volume and cost and using the least squares method to develop an estimated regression equation relating volume and cost, an accountant can estimate the cost associated with a particular manufacturing volume. In the Microsoft Excel Online file below you will find a sample of production volumes and total cost data for a manufacturing operation. Conduct a regression analysis to explore the relationship between total cost and production volume and then answer the questions that follow.Production Volume Total Cost
(Units) ($)
400 4,000
450 5,000
550 5,400
600 5,900
700 6,400
750 7,000
1. Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the total cost for a given production volume.
2. What is the variable cost per unit produced
3. Compute the coefficient of determination what percentage of the variation in total cost can be explained by production volume
4. The companys production schedule shows 500 units must be produced next month what is the estimated total cost of this operation.
Answer:
(1) [tex]\text{Total Cost}=1246.67+7.60\ \text{Volume}[/tex]
(2) The variable cost per unit produced is $7.60.
(3) The coefficient of determination is 0.96 or 96%.
(4) The estimated total cost is $5,046.67.
Explanation:
A regression analysis for the provided data is performed on Microsoft Excel.
The output is attached below.
(1)
The estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the total cost for a given production volume is:
[tex]\text{Total Cost}=1246.67+7.60\ \text{Volume}[/tex]
(2)
The variable cost per unit produced is given by the slope of the line.
The slope of a regression line represent the value of the dependent variable for one unit of the independent variable.
So, the variable cost per unit produced is $7.60.
(3)
Consider the regression output attached.
The coefficient of determination is 0.96 or 96%.
This implies that the percentage of the variation in total cost that can be explained by production volume is 96%.
(4)
For Volume = 500 units predict the total cost as follows:
[tex]\text{Total Cost}=1246.67+7.60\ \text{Volume}[/tex]
[tex]=1246.67+(7.60\times 500)\\\\=1246.67+3800\\\\=5046.67[/tex]
Thus, the estimated total cost is $5,046.67.
which is extraordinarily large inflation in prices. At the peak of the hyperinflation, prices rose 26 comma 000% per month. At this rate, by what percentage would prices have risen in 1 year? In 1 day? (Assume 30 days per month.) g
Answer:
To identify inflation rates in a monthly hyperinflationary process of 26,000 percent inflation, we must multiply that number by 12 months to obtain annual inflation, and divide it by 30 to obtain daily inflation.
Thus, the annual inflation of the country arises from calculating 26,000 x 12, which results in an annual inflation of 312,000 percent, with which a product that at the beginning of the year would cost $ 1 would cost $ 312,000 a year later.
In turn, to identify daily inflation, you have to divide 26,000 / 30, obtaining a daily inflation of 866.6 percent, which implies that a product with a value of $ 1, a day later would be costing $ 866.6.
Which of the following is useful to combine the data of different segments using different software for the purpose of creating companywide budgets? A. budget creation manual B. budget management software C. financial analysis software D. accounting development manual
Answer:
B. budget management software
Explanation:
A budget management software would be the best option to combine different segments of data to create a companywide budget.
This is because one of the specific purposes of budget management software is to merge several budgets (for example, the budgets of a company's divisions) into a single one, larger budget (the companywide budget).

Missing information:
Fixed administrative expense $ 16,200 Variable selling expense $ 20,250 Variable administrative expense $ ? Contribution margin $ 81,000 Net operating income $ 24,300
1. Prepare a contribution format income statement.
2. Prepare a traditional format income statement.
3. Calculate the selling price per unit.
4. Calculate the variable cost per unit.
5. Calculate the contribution margin per unit.
Answer:
First we must determine cost of goods sold = $27,000 + $270,000 - $13,500 = $283,500
now we must find total variable costs = total sales - contribution margin = $405,00 - $81,000 = $324,000
variable administrative expenses = total variable costs - COGS - variable selling expense = $324,000 - $283,500 - $20,250 = $20,250
1. Prepare a contribution format income statement.
Total sales $405,000
Cost of goods sold $283,500
Gross contribution margin $121,500
Variable selling expense $20,250
Variable adm. expense $20,250

$81If all you knew about a production system was that total daily output was 400 units and the total labor necessary to produce the 400 units was 350 hours, and the total materials used were 425 units, what kind of productivity measure could you use to compute productivity?
Answer:
partial measure
Explanation:
Based on the information provided it can be said that the kind of productivity measure that can be used would be a partial measure. Partial Productivity measure relates output to a single input unit. For example, capital productivity deals with output per unit of capital while energy productivity relates output per joule of energy used. In this scenario, we would need labor productivity which is output per hour worked.
