Answer and Explanation:
The approximate estimates refer to the prediction of the nearest value while on the other hand, the detailed estimates refer to the estimation of the project or product that required a detailed analysis
based on the above explanation, the classification is as follows
A. Detailed estimates. As it required completed documents with respect to the design that needs comprehensive analysis
B. Approximate estimates. As the bidding is used so it required only approximation estimates
C. Approximate estimates. As the feasibility studies are used so it required only approximation estimates
D. Detailed estimates. If the project required high effort so detailed analysis should be there.
E. Approximate estimates. For comparing the alternative projects we needed detailed estimates
F. Detailed estimates. For project control, we required nearest value estimates
G. Approximate estimates. Since there is a high margin of error which required only prediction values to the nearest value
H. Detailed estimates. For making initial financial arrangements we need detailed analysis
I.Approximate estimates. For comparing the unit cost with respect to the same last projects we need prediction estimates
J. Detailed estimates. Since the concept based on actual quantities and there is a prediction price for estimating the project so in this we required detailed estimates.

During the month of May, direct labor cost totaled $20,405 and direct labor cost was 55% of prime cost. If total manufacturing costs during May were $73,600, the manufacturing overhead was:
Answer:
$36,500
Explanation:
Calculation for manufacturing overhead
Direct labor = $20,405
The Total manufacturing cost = $73,600
Prime cost = Direct labour cost ÷0.55
Prime cost = $20,405 ÷ 0.55 =
Prime cost = $37,100
Using this formula for Tot Manufacturing cost
Total manufacturing cost = Prime cost + Manufacturing overhead cost
$73,600 = $37,100 + Manufacturing overhead cost
Manufacturing overhead cost = $36,500
Therefore tthe manufacturing overhead was:$36,500

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

A package delivery service uses vans and employees to deliver the maximum number of packages given a fixed budget. The last van added 600 packages to total output, while the last employee added 500 packages. If vans cost exist400 per week and employees earn exist300 per firm:________.
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.

Thad is worried about the selling price. Rumors are circulating that other retro brands of cycles may be revived. If so, the selling price for the Western Hombre would have to be reduced to $9,500 to compete effectively. In that event, Thad would also reduce fixed expenses to $670,000 by reducing advertising expenses, but he still hopes to sell 400 units per year. d. What would the net operating income be in this situation
Answer:
$3,130,000
Explanation:
Net operating income = Total revenue - Total cost
Total revenue = price x quantity = $9,500 x 400 = $3,800,000
Total cost = $670,000
Net operating income = $3,800,000 - $670,000 = $3,130,000

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.
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.

Weber Company purchased a mining site for $659,964 on July 1. The company expects to mine ore for the next 10 years and anticipates that a total of 96,740 tons will be recovered. The estimated residual value of the property is $55,169. During the first year, the company extracted 6,682 tons of ore. The depletion expense is
Answer:
$41,774
Explanation:
the depletion expense is calculated below
Depletion expense reffered to the charge against profits for the use of natural resources.To calculate the depletion per unit we will need to calculate the total cost less salvage value then divide it by the total number of estimated units.
The expense is calculated by multiplying the depletion per unit by the number of natural resources units consumed current period.
Original cost= $659,964
residual value = $55,169
estimated units or tons= 96,740 tons
number of tons extracted in a given year = 6,682 tons of ore.
depletion expense =?
We will need to find the difference between the residual value and the original cost first. Which is
= (Original cost - residual value) = )$659,964 - $55,169)/96,740 tons
= 6.25
(6.25* 6,682 tons )= $41774
Hence,The depletion expense =$41774
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.

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

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

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.

Answer:
Horizontal Analysis
For the years 20Y4 and 20Y5
20Y5 20Y4 Difference amount Difference Percent
Retail 126000 120000 6000 5.0%
Wholesale 150000 164000 -14000 -8.5%
Total revenue 276000 284000 -8000 -2.8%
Workings
Retail= 126000 - 120000 = 6000
6000/120000* 100 = 5.0%
Wholesale= 150000 - 164000 = -14000
-14000/164000 * 100 = 8.53%
Total revenue= 276000 - 284000 = -8000
-8000/284000 * 100 =2.82%
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%.
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.
You buy a 7 percent, 25-year, $1,000 par value floating rate bond in 1999. By the year 2004, rates on bonds of similar risk are up to 9 percent. What is your one best guess as to the value of the bond
Answer:
The best guess to the value of bond is $1000.
Explanation:
The best guess to the value of a bond is $1000 because the flotation rate bonds are those bonds where coupon rate varies according to the market situation. Therefore, we can say that the coupon rate in the case of flotation bonds is based upon the rate of LIBOR, etc. Generally, the bond value remains the same and there will be no capital gain or loss to the investor.
The best guess to the value of a bond is $1000
The following information should be considered:
The floation rate bond is the bond where the coupon rate should be changed and it should be changed as per the market condition. So here the price of the bond remains the same or we can say it should be constant.Therefore we can conclude that The best guess to the value of a bond is $1000

Requirement 2:
A) If the discount rate is 20 percent, what is the present value of these cash flows?
B) Which of these cash flow streams has the higher present value at 20 percent?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Investment X offers to pay you $4,700 per year for 9 years
Investment Y offers to pay you $6,400 per year for 5 years.
Requirement 1:
First, we need to calculate the final value, using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
Investment X:
FV= {4,700*[(1.08^9)-1]} / 0.08
FV= $58,691.52
Investment Y:
FV= {6,400*[(1.08^5)-1]} / 0.08
FV= $37,546.25
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Investment X:
PV= 58,691.52/(1.08^9)
PV= $29,360.37
Investment Y:
PV= 37,546.25/(1.08^5)
PV= $25,553.35
Investment X provides the higher present value, therefore, it should be the one to choose.
Requirement 2:
First, we need to calculate the final value, using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
Investment X:
FV= {4,700*[(1.20^9)-1]} / 0.20
FV= $97,754.84
Investment Y:
FV= {6,400*[(1.20^5)-1]} / 0.20
FV= $47,626.24
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Investment X:
PV= 97,754.84/(1.20^9)
PV= $18,945.54
Investment Y:
PV= 47,626.24/(1.20^5)
PV= $19,139.92
Investment Y provides the higher present value, therefore, it should be the one to choose.
