Answer:
been more rapid since the mid-nineteenth century than before.
Explanation:
One of the benefits resulting from the second industrial revolution (around 1870) and more specifically from mass production and electricity, is that it helped to increase the growth rate of real GDP per capita in almost all the world. Growth rate of the real GDP per capita has been steadily increasing during the last 150 years.
Of course there are bumps (recessions and wars) in the middle that alter the growth rate of different countries, but in general terms it has recovered swiftly in most places.

Answer:
shipment consolidation
Explanation:
The primary aim of the consolidation of shipments is to evaluate cost control and cost control. The aggregation of shipments allows individuals or businesses to save costs thereby integrating several products from different shippers into one shipment.
Therefore in the given case, since the company wants to combine 10 to 12 different orders into one shipment so that the company could save the cost
Hence, the shipment consolidation is correct
Costs that remain constant in total dollar amount as the level of activity changes are called Group of answer choices
Answer: Fixed Costs
Explanation:
In a company that employs continuous budgeting on a quarterly basis and has an accounting period that ends December 31 of each year, what period would the first revision and update to the January through December 2017 budget cover
Answer: April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018.
Explanation:
The company employs continuous budgeting on a quarterly basis. This means that they make budgets for the year in quarters and move with those quarters.
The first revision therefore for the year 2017 will happen on the first day of the second quarter which is April 1. On this date the first quarter will be removed from the budget because it has been passed. However, since the budget always has to be in total of a year, another quarter is included which will be the next quarter on the calendar, the January 1 2018 to the March 31st 2018 quarter.
The period will thus cover April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018.

Workers at Majestic Manufacturing have won the right to unionize, but management is unwilling to participate in the collective bargaining process and bargain in "good faith." This is a direct violation of the _______Act.
Answer: National Labor Relations Act
Explanation:
Passed in 1935, this is a fundamental act in United States Labor law that grants private sector employees the right to join Unions and engage with employers in Collective Bargaining to better their employment conditions. This act even gave the employees the right to strike if their demands are not meant.
Most relevant is that in Section 8 of the Act, it is made clear that when an Employer refuses to engage in Collective Bargaining with the representative of their employees, that this is an unfair labor practice and under the Act, is considered to be illegal.
If James and Kamanda had reached a void agreement that included conditions, then Kamanda would have had to give James the toaster if the conditions were satisfied.
a. True
b. False
There is a problem with the question, the word void should not be there. A void agreement is simply not enforceable since it is not valid. So I will assume that they both reached a valid agreement and it was a typing mistake.
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
If two (or more) parties engage in a valid contract that includes certain specific conditions that are necessary in order to complete performance, and these conditions are met by one of the parties, then the other party must perform their part. In other words, if James performed all the conditions that were included in their contract, then Kamanda should hand over the toaster to James.
g For this question, ignore inflation. Suppose Jenny earns $60,000 per year working as a tax analyst. After ten years, she quits her job and pursues a PhD in Art History. For the 5 years she is in school, she gets a teaching stipend of $12,000 per year. For the next 35 years, she is an art director and earns $95,000. If she expects to live for 20 years in retirement. If Jenny doesn’t earn any interest on her savings and wants to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, how much will she consume every year? What might prevent her from perfectly smoothing consumption?
Answer:
If Jenny doesn’t earn any interest on her savings and wants to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, how much will she consume every year?
Jenny's total income during her life = income as tax analyst ($60,000 x 10) + income as PhD student ($12,000 x 5) + income as Art Director (35 x $95,000) = $3,985,000
she generated income during 50 years and expects to live 20 more, so in order to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, she must divide her total life income by 70 years = $3,985,000 / 70 years = $56,928.57 per year
What might prevent her from perfectly smoothing consumption?
First of all, besides inflation, you also earn interest on your savings. That is why 401k and other retirement accounts work so well (the magic of compound interest). Even if inflation and interests didn't exist, you cannot know exactly what you are going to earn in the future and for how many years. In this case, she earned $60,000 for 10 years, but then earned only $12,000 during 5 years. If she really wanted to smooth her consumption, she would have needed to get a loan because her savings during the first 10 years wouldn't be enough.
The bid-ask spread exists because of _______________. A. market inefficiencies B. discontinuities in the markets C. the need for dealers to cover expenses and make a profit D. lack of trading in thin markets
Answer:
C. the need for dealers to cover expenses and make a profit
Explanation:
In the market for securities there are two pricing of securities.
The ask price is the price at which the buyer is willing to purchase a security.
The ask price or the offer price is price at which the seller of a security is willing to sell it. Ask price can be firm or negotiable.
Bid ask spread is the difference between the highest amount a buyer is willing to buy a security and the lowest price at which a seller is willing to sell it.
This spread exists because dealers need to cover expenses and make a profit
A customer buys 100 shares of ABC stock at $44 and sells 1 ABC Jan 45 Call at $5. Subsequently, the market price of ABC goes to $59 and the call contract is exercised. The customer has a:
Answer:
loss = $1,000
Explanation:
the customer will receive $5 (call price) + $44 (call price) = $49 for every share that he/she owns.
since the market price was $59, then the customer lost $59 - $49 = $10 for every share that he/she owned, resulting in a total loss = $10 per share x 100 shares = $1,000
A call option gives the buyer the option to purchase a stock at a set price during a specific time frame.
Leonard Technologies invests $62,000 to acquire $62,000 face value, 10%, five - year corporate bonds on December 31, 2014. The bonds will mature on December 31, 2019. The bonds pay interest semi-annually on December 31 and June 30 every year until maturity. Assume Leonard Technologies uses a calendar year. Based on the information provided, which of the following will be included in the journal entry for the transaction on December 31, 2018?
a. a debit to Interest Revenue for $5,400.
b. a credit to Interest Revenue for $2,700.
c. a debit to Interest Revenue for $2,700.
d. a credit to Interest Revenue for $5,400.
Answer:
Credit to Interest Revenue for $3,100
Explanation:
Date Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit
Dec 31. Cash ($62,000 * 10% * 6/12) $3,100
Interest Revenue $3,100
(To record interest revenue for the semi
annual period ended December 31, 2018)
On December 31, 2014, Flint Corporation sold for $100,000 an old machine having an original cost of $180,000 and a book value of $80,000. The terms of the sale were as follows:
$20,000 down payment
$40,000 payable on December 31 each of the next two years
The agreement of sale made no mention of interest; however, 9% would be a fair rate for this type of transaction. What should be the amount of the notes receivable net of the unamortized discount on December 31, 2012 rounded to the nearest dollar? (The present value of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 9% for 2 years is 1.75911.)
a. $70,364
b. $90,364.
c. $80,000.
d. $140,728.
Answer:
a. $70,364
Explanation:
We must determine the present value of the notes receivable using the 9% discount rate.
PV of accounts receivable = $40,000 / 1.09 + $40,000 / 1.09² = $36,697.25 + $33,667.20 = $70,364.45
When a notes receivable is issued and carries no interests, you have to record the present value of the notes receivable in order to determine the amount that should be recorded as interest income in the future. In this case, interest income = $80,000 - $70,364 = $9,636
A client with a high risk tolerance anticipates that the market will remain flat for the next 3 months. Which position would produce the maximum profit for this client
Answer: A. Short Straddle
Explanation:
A Short Straddle is a strategy used in the derivative market of Options where the investor sells both a Call Option and a Put Option on the same stock with the same expiration date.
The logic behind this is that they do not expect the underlying stock to change significantly in price for the period of either the Call nor the Put. The goal therefore is to make profit from the buying fees/credit of both the Put and the Call whilst anticipating that neither of them.will be redeemed so the investor will keep both the stock and the buying fees/credit.
Item 11Item 11 You are going to deposit $24,500 today. You will earn an annual rate of 5.5 percent for 8 years, and then earn an annual rate of 4.9 percent for 11 years. How much will you have in your account in 19 years
Answer:
$63,637.94
Explanation:
$24,500 is deposited in the bank
5.5% annual rate will be earned in 8 years
= 5.5/100
= 0.055
4.9% annual rate will be earned in 11 years
= 4.9/100
= 0.049
The first step is to calculate the future value of the amount after 8 years
= amount deposited×(1+r)^n
r is the annual rate, n is the number of years
= $24,500×(1+0.055)^8
= $24,500×1.055^8
= $24,500×1.534686515
= $37,599.8196
Therefore, the amount that would be present in the account in 19 years can be calculated as follows
= amount at the end of year 8×(1+r)^n
where r = 0.049, n= 11
= $37,599.8196×(1+0.049)^11
= $37,599.8196×1.049^11
= $37,599.8196×1.692506597
= $63,637.94
Hence the amount present in the account in 19 years is $63,637.94
A company purchased $2,800 of merchandise on July 5 with terms 3/10, n/30. On July 7, it returned $700 worth of merchandise. On July 12, it paid the full amount due. Assuming the company uses a perpetual inventory system, and records purchases using the gross method, the correct journal entry to record the payment on July 12 is:
Answer and Explanation:
The correct journal entry as on July 12 is shown below
Account payable ($2,800 - $700) $2,100
To Merchandise inventory $2,037
To Cash ($2,100 × 3%) $63
(Being the cash paid is recorded)
For recording this we debited the account payable as it decreased the liabilities and credited the merchandise inventory and cash as it also decreased the assets
Industrial Machines needs to purchase a new machine costing $1.25 million. Management is estimating the machine will generate cash inflows of $210,000 the first year and $350,000 for the following four years. If management requires a minimum 10 percent rate of return, should the firm purchase this particular machine based on its IRR? Why or why not?
Answer:
NO. because the IRR is less than the minimum 10% rate
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-1.25 million.
Cash flow in year 1 = $210,000
Cash flow in year 2 to 5 = $350,000
IRR = 8.51%
The firm shouldn't purchase the machine because the IRR is less than the required minimum
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button
Exercise 7-3A Allocate costs in a basket purchase (LO7-1) Red Rock Bakery purchases land, building, and equipment for a single purchase price of $360,000. However, the estimated fair values of the land, building, and equipment are $115,000, $253,000, and $92,000, respectively, for a total estimated fair value of $460,000. Required: Determine the amounts Red Rock should record in the separate accounts for the land, the building, and the equipment
Answer:
Land = $90,000
Building = $198,000
Land = $72,000
Explanation:
The Fair Values of Land, Building and Equipment are used to apportion the single purchase price to the respective asset accounts as follows :
Land = $115,000/ $460,000 × $360,000
= $90,000
Building = $253,000/ $460,000 × $360,000
= $198,000
Land = $92,000/ $460,000 × $360,000
= $72,000

Cindy's current year adjusted gross income (AGI) is $300,000 and her current year total tax liability is $60,000. Her immediate prior year AGI is $200,000 with a total tax liability of $40,000. To avoid an underpayment interest penalty, what is Cindy's minimum required total tax payment amount for the current year
Answer:
The answer is $44,000
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
Now
Present/current year AGI = $300000
Present /current year tax liability = $60000
Prior year AGI = $200000
Prior year tax liability = $40000
Thus
As per Tax rule or applying the Tax rule
If Adjusted gross income(AGI) of prior year is below $250000 then the minimum required tax payment in the current year in order to avoid interest penalty is lower of
(1) 90% of present /current year tax (liability) or
(2) 110% of prior year tax liability
So
Because the prior year AGI is $200000 which is lower than $250000, in order to avoid interest penalty, the minimum required payment amount of tax liability in current/present year is lower of
(1) 90% of current year tax liability of $60000
Then
$60000 *90% = $54000
Or
(2)110% of prior year tax liability of $40000
$40000 ×110% = $44000
Hence, minimum required total tax payment amount for the current year is $44,000
Suppose we are looking at a cash flow statement constructed using the INDIRECT method. We see a positive adjustment in the operating section of $1000 for Depreciation. Which of the following are correct interpretations of this? A. Depreciation provided cash of $1000 B. The firm sold long-term assets for $1000 C. The firm invested $1000 of cash in long-term assets D. Income was lower by $1000 because of Depreciation expense
Answer: D. Income was lower by $1000 because of Depreciation expense
Explanation:
When preparing the Cashflow Statement using the Indirect method, Depreciation is added to the Net Income in the Operating Section.
This is because Depreciation is a non-cash expense that was removed from the revenue to calculate income. Now that the company wants to know how much actual cash it has, it will have to add back Depreciation because depreciation is not a cash expense so does not actually reduce the money the company has.

Suppose we are looking at a cash flow statement constructed using the INDIRECT method. We see a NEGATIVE adjustment of $5000 related to Accounts Payable. Which of the following are correct interpretations of this?a. Depreciation provided cash of $1000 b. The firm sold long-term assets for $1000 c. The firm invested $1000 of cash in long-term assets d. Income was lower by $1000 because of Depreciation expense
Answer:
It implies that the firm paid $5,000 to its supplier this accounting period (e.g. year) out of the amount the firm is owing the supplier.
Note: The correct answer is as stated above it is not included in the option. Kindly confirm the options again from your teacher.
Explanation:
Accounts payable refers to the amount of money a firm is owing its suppliers.
Account payable is one of the component of the current liabilities in the balance sheet, and non-cash current liability item that is adjusted for in the cash flow statement to arrive at net cash from operating activities when an indirect method is being used.
Since accounts payable is the amount of money a firm is owing its suppliers, a negative a NEGATIVE adjustment to its implies that company has paid its supplier the negative amount in the accounting period.
Therefore, a NEGATIVE adjustment of $5000 related to Accounts Payable implies that the firm paid $5,000 to its supplier this accounting period (e.g. year) out of the amount the firm is owing the supplier.
Webby Inc. is a web development company. Webby’s monthly production function for developing websites is given in the table below. Webby pays $4,000 a month in rent for office space and equipment. It pays each programmer $3,000 a month. There are no other production costs. Fill in the table of production costs.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the filling of the given table for the production cost is shown in the attachment below:
As we know that
Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost
Average fixed cost = fixed cost ÷ websites
Average Variable cost = Variable cost ÷ websites
Therefore the average total cost is
= Average fixed cost + average variable cost
The marginal cost is
= Change in total cost ÷ change in quantity
These formulas are used to complete the table as given below.
On June 1, 2021, Duncan Inc. purchased equipment for $74,000. The equipment
had an estimated life of 10 years, an estimated residual value of $8,000,
and was expected to be used to produce 120,000 units over its life. During
2021, the equipment was used to produce 11,000 units and during 2022 it was
used to produce 19,000 units.
Assume the company employs the units of production method of depreciation.
Calculate the amount of accumulated depreciation on the equipment shown in
the company's December 31, 2022 balance sheet.
Answer:
The amount of accumulated depreciation on the equipment shown in
the company's December 31, 2022 balance sheet is $16,500.
Explanation:
Depreciation Expense (Units of Production) = (Cost - Residual Value) × (Period`s Production / Total Estimated Production)
2021.
Depreciation Expense = ($74,000 - $8,000) × ( 11,000 units / 120,000 units )
= $6,050
2022
Depreciation Expense = ($74,000 - $8,000) × ( 19,000 units / 120,000 units )
= $10,450
Accumulated Depreciation - December 31, 2022
2021 = $6,050
2022 = $10,450
Total = $16,500
If the fixed costs are $450,000, the unit selling price is $75, and the unit variable costs are $50, what are the old and new break-even sales (units) if the unit selling price increases by $10
Answer:
Old break even points= 18,000 units
New break even points= 12,857 units
Explanation:
The fixed costs are $450,000
The unit selling price is $75
The unit variable costs are $50
The unit selling price have an increase of 10 units
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin per unit
Contribution margin per unit= Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit
= $75-$50
= $25 per unit
The old break even point can be calculated as follows
= Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit
= $450,000/$25
= 18,000 units
Since there is an increase in the unit selling price by $10 per unit then, the contribution matgin per unit can be calculated as follows
= $25+$10
= $35
Therefore, the new break even point can be calculated as follows
= $450,000/$35
= 12,857 units
Hence the old break even point and new break even point are 18,000 units and 12,857 units respectively

In the MBTI personality model, Disney "imagineers" are more likely to have high _____ scores, while Disney accountants who determine currency transfer equivalencies are more likely to have high _____ scores.
Answer:
In the MBTI personality model, Disney "imagineers" are more likely to have high __INTJ___ scores, while Disney accountants who determine currency transfer equivalencies are more likely to have high __ISTJ___ scores.
Explanation:
1. MBTI personality model is the Myers-Briggs Theory. It was developed by the mother-daughter partnership of Katharine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers. At the heart of Myers Briggs theory are four preferences, depicting personality preferences as follows:
1. People and things (Extraversion or "E"), or ideas and information (Introversion or "I").
2. Facts and reality (Sensing or "S"), or possibilities and potential (Intuition or "N").
3. Logic and truth (Thinking or "T"), or values and relationships (Feeling or "F").
4. A lifestyle that is well-structured (Judgment or "J"), or one that goes with the flow (Perception or "P").
These four major classifications mean that one tends to have more of each than the other. This means that there are 16 traits or combinations of traits for a given personality.
2. INTJ personality type: Disney "imagineers" are likely to direct their energies to deal with (Introversion) ideas, information, explanations, and beliefs, as people in research and development at Disney. The information they deal with will be based on ideas, new possibilities, and not obvious things (Intuition) instead of facts and what they know and see. Their decision making will be based on objective logic, using analytic and detailed approaches. Their work will be planned and well-structured to reflect their lifestyle as opposed to flowing with the trend and maintaining flexibility.
3. ISTJ personality class: Disney accountants will bear similar traits like the "imagineers" except that instead of dealing with unknown and not obvious ideas and possibilities like the imagineers, they would prefer their information for processing to be based on clear facts and what they see and know.
Answer:
In the MBTI personality model, Disney "imagineers" are more likely to have high __INTJ___ scores, while Disney accountants who determine currency transfer equivalencies are more likely to have high __ISTJ___ scores.

All of the following are economic resources, or factors of production EXCEPT Group of answer choices land. entrepreneurship. physical capital. money.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Money
Explanation:
Economic resources or factors of production are the inputs required for the creation of goods or services. They are divided into four categories:
Land: includes physical land and any other natural resources needed for production. Examples are water, natural gas, oil etc. Its reward is rent
Labour: This refers to human efforts contributed to the production of goods or services. Its reward is wages
Capital: this refers to machinery, tools and buildings that are used by humans for production. Its reward is interest
Entrepreneurship: refers to someone who combines the other three factors; land, labour and capital, to earn a profit. Its reward is profit
Money is not a factor of production because it is not directly involved in production of goods or services. However, it facilitates the processes of production like enabling purchase of machinery, payment of wages etc.
