If a firm offers a service that is valuable, rare, and costly to imitate, but a substitute exists for the service, the firm will: a. achieve competitive parity. b. have a competitive disadvantage. c. have a temporary competitive advantage. d. gain a sustainable competitive advantage.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c. have a temporary competitive advantage

Explanation:

In this case, it is correct to say that the company has a temporary competitive advantage, as there is a substitute for its valuable, rare and expensive service to imitate.

The company gained a competitive advantage in the market for being the only one to offer that service, which by the attributes confer barriers of entry for new competitors, but when there is a substitute for the service and that have the same characteristics, it is correct to say that the company it will lose its competitive advantage in a matter of time, because with more competitors in the market it is common for there to be some loss of market share, so in this case it is ideal for the company to adapt and seek new attributes to innovate, generate more value for consumers and so seek a differential that will guarantee you a higher position in the market.

You want to save at least $10,000 for a down payment on a new car. In cell B6, enter a formula to calculate how much you will have saved by putting away $500 per month for 24 months at a 1.5% annual interest rate. Use the appropriate cell references. Remember to use a negative value for the Pmt argument. There is no money in the account yet and payments are applied at the end of every month, so omit both the Pv and Type arguments. (Hint: Use the FV function.)

Answers

Answer:

$14,316.76

Explanation:

How much you will have saved?

Using MS Excel to calculate the FV function

= FV(Rate, Nper, Pmt)

= FV(1,5%, 24, 500)

= 14316.7604

= $14,316.76

So, the total amount you will have saved by putting away $500 per month for 24 months at a 1.5% annual interest rate is $14,316.76

Margarita should recognize this conversion by debiting investment in common stock for

Answers

Answer: $2,575,000

Explanation:

The value of the bonds purchased is:

= 2,500 * 1,000

= $2,500,000

There is a premium on the bon investment so the net value of the bonds is:

= 2,500,000 + 75,000

= $2,575,000

This is the amount that will be converted to common stock and so should be debited to the investment in common stock.

You just got a job and plan to save for the college expenses for your kids. You have a son and a daughter. Your son is 4 years old, and your daughter is only 1 year old. Both of them plan to go to a four-year college at the age of 18. The estimated college expense is about $40,000 per year. Assume you plan to invest into a portfolio that offers you return about 6% per year until your daughter is graduated from college. How much money do you need to save every year if your first saving is in one year

Answers

Answer:

$11,508.25

Explanation:

your son will start college in 14 years, and the present value of his college tuition = $40,000 x 3.4651 (PVIFA, 6%, 4 periods) = $138,604

your daughter will start college in 17 years, so you need in today's dollars $138,604

you will need to save enough money to cover both tuitions;

money required to cover your son's tuition = $138,604 / 21.015 (FVIFA, 6%, 14 periods) = $6,595.48

money required to cover your daughter's tuition = $138,604 / 28.213 (FVIFA, 6%, 14 periods) = $4,912.77

total annual savings = $11,508.25

Required:
a. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions and adjustments for 2012 and 2013.
b. How much warranty expense is reported for November 2012 and for December 2012?
c. How much warranty expense is reported for January 2013?
d. What is the balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012?

Answers

Answer:

a. See the attached excel file for the journal entries for 2012 and 2013.

b. We have the following:

Warranty Expense reported for November 2012 = $630

Warranty Expense reported for December 2012 = $1,320

Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 = $1,950

c. Warranty Expense reported for January 2013 = $900

d. Balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012 = $1,050

Explanation:

a. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions and adjustments for 2012 and 2013.

Note: See the attached excel file for the journal entries for 2012 and 2013.

In the attached excel, the following workings are used:

w.1: Cost of Goods Sold = Units sold * Cost per unit = 105 * $20 = $2,100

w.2: Warranty Expense = Sales * 8% = $7,875 * 8% = $630

w.3: Estimated Warranty Liability = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 15 * $20 = $300

w.4: Cost of Goods Sold = Units sold * Cost per unit = 220 * $20 = $4,400

w.5: Estimated Warranty Liability = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 30 * $20 = $600

w.6: Warranty Expense = Sales * 8% = $16,500 * 8% = $1,320

w.7: Cost of Goods Sold = Units sold * Cost per unit = 150 * $20 = $3,000

w.8: Estimated Warranty Liability = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 50 * $20 = $1,000

w.9: Warranty Expense = Sales * 8% = $11,250 * 8% = $900

b. How much warranty expense is reported for November 2012 and for December 2012?

Warranty Expense reported for November 2012 = Sales for November 2012 * 8% = $7,875 * 8% = $630

Warranty Expense reported for December 2012 = Sales for December 2012 * 8% = $16,500 * 8% = $1,320

Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 = Reported Warranty Expense for November 2012 + Reported Warranty Expense for December 2012 = $630 + $1,320 = $1,950

c. How much warranty expense is reported for January 2013?

Warranty Expense reported for January 2013 = Sales for January 2013 * 8% = $11,250 * 8% = $900

d. What is the balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012?

Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 = $1,950

Value of returned 15 razors replaced on Dec. 9, 2012 = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 15 * $20 = $300

Value of returned 30 razors replaced on Dec. 29, 2012 = Units replaced * Cost per unit = 30 * $20 = $600

Total value of returned razors replaced in 2012 = Value of returned 15 razors replaced on Dec. 9, 2012 + Value of returned 30 razors replaced on Dec. 29, 2012 = $300 + $600 = $900

Therefore, we have:

Balance of the Estimated Warranty Liability account as of December 31, 2012 = Total Warranty Expense reported for 2012 - Total value of returned razors replaced in 2012 = $1,950 - $900 = $1,050

Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $210 and $172, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $8 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 128,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below :
Alpha Beta
Direct materials $40 $24
Direct labor $38 $34
Variable manufacturing overhead $25 $23
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead $33 $36
Variable selling expenses $30 $26
Common fixed expenses $33 $28
Total cost per unit $199 $171
The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.
Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 113,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 28,000 additional Alphas for a price of $152 per unit. If Cane accepts the customer's offer, it will decrease Alpha sales to regular customers by 13,000 units.
a. Calculate the incremental net operating income if the order is accepted. (Loss amount should be indicated with a minus sign.)
b. Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 108,000 Betas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much will profits increase or decrease?
c. Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 58,000 Betas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much will profits increase or decrease?
d. Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 78,000 Betas and 98,000 Alphas per year. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, its sales representatives could increase sales of Alpha by 11,000 units. If Cane discontinues the Beta product line, how much would profits increase or decrease?
e. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 98,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 98,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $152 per unit. If Cane buys 98,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, how much will profits increase or decrease?
f. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 73,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 73,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $152 per unit. If Cane buys 73,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, how much will profits increase or decrease?

Required: a. Adams Company's production cycle starts in Department A. The following information is available for July: Units Work in process, July 1 (60% complete) 71,000 Started in July 360,000 Work in process, July 31 (20% complete) 39,000 Materials are added at the beginning of the process in Department A. Using the weighted-average method, what are the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs for the month of July, respectively

Answers

Answer:

materials = 431,000 units and

conversion = 399,800 units

Explanation:

Note that Adams Company uses weighted-average method. This means we calculate equivalent units of production on the number of physical units completed and transferred and units in ending inventory.

Step 1 : Determine units completed and transferred

Units completed and transferred = Opening Inventory + Units Started - Ending Inventory

                                                       = 71,000 + 360,000 - 39,000

                                                       = 392,000

Step 2 : Determine equivalent units of production

Materials

Units completed and transferred (392,000 x 100%) = 392,000

Units in ending inventory (39,000 x 100%)                = 39,000

Total equivalent units of production                          = 431,000

Conversion

Units completed and transferred (392,000 x 100%) = 392,000

Units in ending inventory (39,000 x 20%)                =       7,800

Total equivalent units of production                          = 399,800

Mortensen Industries, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records:
Total equivalent units of materials: 5,000
Total equivalent units of conversion: 4,400
Units started and completed during the period: 3,500
On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
a. 80%.b. 70%.c. 60%.d. 40%.

Answers

Answer:

c. 60%.

Explanation:

Calculation for what the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:

First step is to calculate the Ending WIP

Ending WIP = 5,000 - 3,500

Ending WIP = 1,500 units

Now let calculate the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion using this formula

Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completio

4,400 = 3,500 + (x% * 1,500)

4,400 = 3,500 + 15x

15x = 4,400 - 3,500

15x = 900

x = 900/15

x = 60%

Therefore the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:60%

A. Manufacturing
B. Finance and Insurance
C. Administrative and Support
D. Educational services
E. Health care and social assistance
F. Arts, entertainment, and recreation
G. None of the above.

Answers

Answer:

B. Finance and Insurance

Explanation:

The Location Quotient (LQ) value of finance and insurance is the highest (1.825) and its employment concentration (102,751) is higighesth as well although not the highest.

We know that when (LQ) is greater that 1, its indicates the high concentration in regional growth and opportunities as finance and insurance is concerned.

On the other hand lowest, (LQ) at manufacturing is less than 1 and the employment is also low (58,435), that indicates that manufacturing employment has less of a share of the total in regional growth and opportunities.

So, if there were a national downturn in these industries, Finance and Isurance is likely to be most closely linked to the residential real estate market in Chicago.

Using the appropriate present value table and assuming a 12% annual interest rate, determine the present value on December 31, 2018, of a five-period annual annuity of $5,000 under each of the following situations: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
1. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded annually.
2. The first payment is received on December 31, 2018, and interest is compounded annually.
3. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded quarterly.

Answers

Answer:

1. Present value on December 31, 2018 = $18,023.88

2. Present value on December 31, 2018 = $20,186.75

3. Present value on December 31, 2018 = $17,780.59

Explanation:

1. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded annually.

This is an example of ordinary annuity. Therefore, the present value on December 31, 2018 can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = present value on December 31, 2018 = ?

P = Annual annuity = $5,000

r = Annual interest rate = 12%, or 0.12

n = number of years = 5

Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:

PV = $5,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.12))^5) / 0.12)

PV = $5,000 * 3.60477620234501

PV = $18,023.88

2. The first payment is received on December 31, 2018, and interest is compounded annually.

This is an example of annuity due. Therefore, the present value on December 31, 2018 can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an annuity due as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - [1 / (1+r))^n) / r) * (1+r) .................................. (2)

Where;

Where;

PV = present value on December 31, 2018 = ?

P = Annual annuity = $5,000

r = Annual interest rate = 12%, or 0.12

n = number of years = 5

Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:

PV = $5,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1+0.12))^5) / 0.12) * (1+0.12)

PV = $5,000 * 3.60477620234501 * 1.12

PV = $5,000 * 4.03734934662641

PV = $20,186.75

3. The first payment is received on December 31, 2019, and interest is compounded quarterly.

Note: See the calculation of the present value on December 31, 2018 in the attached excel file.

This is also an example of ordinary annuity.

In the attached excel file, the following formula is used:

Discounting factor = 1 / (1 + r)^n .............. (1)

Where;

r = Quarterly interest rate = Annual interest rate / Number of quarters in a year = 12% / 4 = 0.12 / 4 = 0.03

n = number of quarters = number of years * Number of quarters in a year

Effective annual interest rate = 8.5% ($23,633/$278,032 x 100).

Total amount of lease payments = $600,000 ($30,000 x 20).

Total effective interest expense recorded over the term of the lease  = $29,1968 ($600,000 - $308,032).

Thus, the total effective interest expense recorded over the term of the lease is $29,1968.

A small town is considering paving paradise hotel to put up a parking lot. The land will cost $25,000 and the construction of the lot is estimated to be $150,000. Each year, costs associated with the parking lot are estimated to be $17,500. The income from the lot is expected to be $18,000 the first year and increase by $3,500 each year for the 12 year life of the lot. Determine the B/C ratio if interest rate is 12%. [4 points]

Answers

Answer:

0.71

Explanation:

The benefit cost ratio is used to determine the profitability of an investor. It is determined by dividing the present value of benefit by the present value of cost

Benefit cost ratio (BC) = present value of benefits / present value of costs

if BC is greater than 1, the project is profitable

If BC is less than 1, the project is not profitable

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Present value of the benefits

Cash flow in year 1 =  $18,000

Cash flow in year 2 =  $18,000 + 3500 = $21500

Cash flow in year 3 = $18,000 + (3500 x 2) = $25,000

Cash flow in year 4 = $18,000 + (3500 x 3) = $28500

Cash flow in year 5 = $18,000 + (3500 x 4) = $32,000

Cash flow in year 6 = $18,000 + (3500 x 5) = $35,500

Cash flow in year 7 = $18,000 + (3500 x 6) = $39,000

Cash flow in year 8 = $18,000 + (3500 x 7) = $42,500

Cash flow in year 9 = $18,000 + (3500 x 8) = $46,000

Cash flow in year 10 = $18,000 + (3500 x 9) = $49500

Cash flow in year 11 = $18,000 + (3500 x 10) = $53,000

Cash flow in year 12 = $18,000 + (3500 x 11) = $56,500

I = 12 %

PV = $202,331.70

Present value of the cost

Cash flow in year 0 = $25,000 + $150,000 = $175,000

Cash flow in year 1 to 12  = $17,500.  

I = 12 %

PV = $283,401.55

B/C ratio =  $202,331.70 /  $283,401.55 = 0.71

 To find the PV 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 NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Sheridan Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,322,900 and retained earnings of $4,854,000 at December 31, 2020. Sheridan later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $106,470 and $36,820, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings. Corrected cost of goods sold $enter a dollar amount Corrected 12/31/20 retained earnings $enter a dollar amount

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

With regard to the above information,

1. Corrected cost of goods sold is computed as

= Cost of goods sold + Overstated ending inventories 2019 - overstated ending inventories 2020

= $1,322,900 + $106,470 - $36,820

= $1,253,250

2. Corrected 12/31/2020 retained earnings is computed as

= Retained earnings DEC 2020 - overstated ending inventories 2020

= $4,854,000 - $36,820

= $4,817,180
