Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
As the newly appointed HR manager of a 500-employee health care provider organization, I will focus on employee development and training because skilled and trained employees will demonstrate high efficiency in the health organization and less error in medical reports, which could lead to patient dissatisfaction if their problem is not resolved due to medical report errors or lacunae.
So, I'd go with the Counseling model, in which our health-care service providers provide employee training and development through techniques like job training, internships, role plays, and learning classes, all of which are essential in health-care organizations because we provide health-care solutions to our patients and want to hire and retain highly skilled and professional personnel in our organizations.
Since qualified and skilled workers are capable of operating at a high level of productivity, have the ability to evaluate challenges and produce solutions, support both technical and non-technical activities in the organization, are experts in their fields, and so on, this model is required to transform my company into an ideal organization.
Since I would look out for what is best for employees and their growth as an HR manager, but the CEO is more concerned with cost and profit, and training and development for 500 employees could be a little more costly, the CEO will want me to adapt my model based on cost and budget.

Because testing of nuclear bombs was halted internationally in 1992, the Department of Energy has developed a laser system that allows engineers to simulate (in a laboratory) conditions in a thermo-nuclear reaction. Due to soaring cost overruns, a congressional committee undertook an investigation and discovered that the estimated development cost of the project increased at an average rate of 2% per six-months over a 5-year period. If the original cost was estimated to be $3.1 billion 5 years ago, what is the expected cost today?
Answer:
The estimated development cost of the project will increase from the original cost of $3.1 billion 5 years ago to $3.7727 billion today.
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Original estimated development cost = $3.1 billion
Average rate of interest = 2% per six months or 4% per year (2 * 2%)
Period of project = 5 years using 4% or 10 using 2%
Using a future value factor of 1.217 from a future value table at 4% per year for 5 years:
The expected cost today = $3.1 billion * 1.217 = $3.7727 billion

The Heating Division of Kobe International produces a heating element that it sells to its customers for $40 per unit. Its variable cost per unit is $20, and its fixed cost per unit is $8. Top management of Kobe International would like the Heating Division to transfer 14,500 heating units to another division within the company at a price of $30. The Heating Division is operating at full capacity. Assume that the units being requested are special high-performance units and that the division's variable cost would be $28 per unit (rather than $20). What is the minimum transfer price that the Heating Division should accept
Answer:
$48
Explanation:
Calculation the minimum transfer price that the Heating Division should accept
Using this formula
Minimum transfer price=[New UVC + (Lost USP - Regular UVC)]
Let plug in the formula
Minimum transfer price=$28+ ($40- $20)
Minimum transfer price=$28+20
Minimum transfer price= $48
Therefore the minimum transfer price that the Heating Division should accept is $48

TryFit Co. uses process costing to account for the production of energy food bars. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory consisted of $13,000 in materials and $10,000 in conversion costs. April costs were $42,000 for materials and $46,000 for conversion costs. During April 14,000 units were completed. Ending work in process inventory was 10,000 units (100% complete for materials, 50% for conversion). The value of ending inventory using the weighted average method would be closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to four decimal places.) Multiple Choice $30,487.40 $37,654.00 $79,520.80 $46,454.00
Answer:
$37,654.00
Explanation:
beginning WIP = $13,000 + $10,000 = $23,000
costs added during the month = $42,000 + $46,000 = $88,000
total materials costs = $55,000
materials cost per EUP = $55,000 / 24,000 units = $2.29
total conversion costs = $56,000
conversion cost per EUP = $56,000 / 19,000 = $2.95
ending inventory = (10,000 x $2.29) + (10,000 x $2.95 x 50%) = $37,650
Pearl Corporation reported net income of $49,100 in 2020. Depreciation expense was $17,200. The following working capital accounts changed.
Accounts receivable $11,200 increase
Available-for-sale debt securities 16,900 increase
Inventory 7,300 increase
Nontrade note payable 14,400 decrease
Accounts payable 13,300 increase
Required:
Compute net cash provided by operating activities. (Show amounts that decrease cash flow with either a - sign e.g. -15,000 or in parenthesis e.g. (15,000).)
Answer:
Net operating cash flow $68,300
Explanation:
Operating cash flow is the amount of cash generated by a company from its main and normal business activity. This cash flow is useful to gauge the financial viability of a firm's business activity; the larger the better.
It is essentially computed as the net movement of cash inflow and outflow in respect of a business activities.
It is computed as follows:
$
Net income 49,000
Add deprecation 17,200
Less increase in receivable (11.200)
add increase in payables 13,300
Net operating cash flow 68,300
Note that only items that relate to trading which is the core business area of the Pearl Corporation are considered. Depreciation is added because it is a non-cash item initially deducted from net income.
An increase in receivable means a reduction in cash while an increase in payables implies cash savings
Net operating cash flow $68,300

Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with five years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 8.80%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:
Answer:
$775,751
Explanation:
the effective semiannual rate = 1.088 = (1 + r)²
r = 4.3072%
we must first determine the present value of the face value = $1,000,000 / (1 + 4.3072%)¹⁰ = $655,927.02
now the present value of the coupon payments = $15,000 x [1 - 1/(1 + i)ⁿ ] / i = $15,000 x [1 - 1/(1 + 0.043072)¹⁰ ] / 0.043072 = $119,823.98
market price = $775,751
Theory Enterprises uses a standard cost system and prepared the following budget for May when 24,000 machine hours of activity were anticipated: variable overhead, $48,000; fixed overhead: $240,000. Actual data for May were: Standard machine hours allowed for output attained: 25,000 Actual machine hours worked: 24,000 Variable overhead incurred: $50,000 Fixed overhead incurred: $250,000 The variable-overhead spending and efficiency variances for Theory are: Variable-Overhead Spending Variance Variable-Overhead Efficiency Variance A. $ 0 $ 0 B. $ 0 $ 2,000 unfavorable C. $ 2,000 unfavorable $ 0 D. $ 2,000 favorable $ 2,000 unfavorable E. $ 2,000 unfavorable $ 2,000 favorable
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. Variable overhead spending variance
= AH × ( AR - SR)
Where
AH = Actual Hours worked = 24,000
AR = Actual variable overhead rate = $50,000
SR = Standard variable overhead rate = $48,000
Therefore,
Variable overhead spending variance
= 24,000 × ($50,000 - $48,000)
= $48,000
Olivia wants to buy some vacant land for investment purposes. She currently cannot afford the full purchase price. Instead, Olivia pays the landowner $8,000 to obtain an option to buy the land for $175,000 anytime in the next four years. Fourteen months after purchasing the option, Olivia sells the option for $10,000. What is the amount and character of Olivia's gain or loss
Answer:
$2,000 gain
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount and character of Olivia's gain or loss
Based on the information given we were told that she pays the landowner the amount of $8,000 in order for her to obtain an option to buy a land in which after purchasing the option she sells the option for the amount of $10,000 making her to gain the amount of $2,000.
Olivia's gain =$10,000-$8,000
Olivia's gain =$2,000
Therefore The amount and character of Olivia's gain will be $2,000
Answer: $2000
Explanation:
The amount and character of Olivia's gain or loss will be gotten by calculating the amount that Olivia paid the landowner $8,000 to obtain an option to buy the land and the amount she eventually sold the option. This will be:
= $10000 - $8000
= $2000
Therefore, she had a capital gain of $2000
Management wants a list of vendors with account balances as of 12/15/2024, sorted from the smallest to the largest amount outstanding.

Then change the view to include only vendors with open balances prior to sorting and printing.
Required:
Prepare and print the list requested by management.
Answer:
The vendor list can be created by using the spreadsheet. The column 1 will show all the names of the vendor, the column next to the names of vendor will show the active status. This can be shown using the symbols or signs present in the tool bar of the spreadsheet.
Explanation:
Spreadsheet makes the work easier for accountants. The list of vendor can be created with ease and it is easy for the user to sort and filter the data by just one click on the options. The vendor list will show the active list of the vendors along with their vendor type and balance totals.
Suppose a monopolist is producing a level of output such that MR > MC. Which of the following best describes what will happen as the firm moves to its profit-maximizing equilibrium? A) Marginal revenue will rise and marginal cost will fall. B) Marginal cost and marginal revenue will both rise. C) Marginal revenue will fall and marginal cost will rise. D) Marginal cost and marginal revenue will both fall.
Answer: C) Marginal revenue will fall and marginal cost will rise.
Explanation:
The profit-maximizing equilibrium is the production point where the Marginal Revenue equals the Marginal cost.
As the monopolist moves towards this point, they will see their marginal costs increase because they will be producing more goods.
For a monopolist to sell more goods however, they will need to reduce their prices. This means that Marginal revenue will come down.
Marginal revenue will keep decreasing and Marginal cost will keep increasing until both of them become equal to each other.
1. Compute the throughput time. 2. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter. (Round your percentage answer to nearest whole percent.) 3. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities? (Round your percentage answers to the nearest whole percent.) 4. Compute the delivery cycle time. 5. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE? (Round your percentage answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
1. Throughput time.
This is the length of time it takes to transform a raw material into finished goods.
= Inspection time + Process time + Move time + Queue time
= 0.7 + 2.8 + 1.3 + 4.1
= 8.9 days
2. Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency:
= Value added time / Throughput time * 100%
= 2.8 / 8.9 * 100%
= 31%
3. Percentage of time spent on none valuable activities:
= 1 - Manufacturing cycle efficiency
= 1 - 31%
= 69%
4. Delivery Cycle time:
= Wait time + Throughput time
= 16.2 + 8.9
= 25.1 days
5. New MCE.
Queue time is eliminated:
= 8.9 - 4.1
New Throughput time = 4.8 days
MCE = 2.8 / 4.8
= 58%
At the end of 2009, the following information is available for Clobes Company, Snyder Company, and Welz Company (you must show your calculations to receive full credit): Required: Which company has the highest level of financial risk? Using an appropriate ratio, support your answer. Which company is the most profitable from the owners' perspective? Using an appropriate ratio, support your answer. (3) Which company is getting the greatest return on assets? Show calculations.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve for this question. However I have found similar question on the internet and I will be using that data. Besides, I have attached the data used in the attachment below.
Solution:
1. The debt-to-equity ratio is the best way to assess financial risk. A higher debt-to-equity ratio indicates a higher level of financial risk. This ratio represents the willingness of the equity of the owners to fulfil their obligations.
Formula used:
Debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities divided by owner's equity
For Clobes:
Total liabilities = 100,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
Debt-to-equity ratio = 100000/200000 = 0.5
For Snyder:
Total liabilities = 300,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/200000 = 1.5
For Welz:
Total liabilities = 300,000
Owners' equity = 100,000
Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/100000 = 3
Welz faces the greatest financial risk because it has the highest debt-to-equity ratio. It has a debt-to-equity ratio of three. Even though it depends on the industry, a company's debt-to-equity ratio should be between 1 and 1.5 if it is considered optimal. In this case, Welz's financial risk is considerably higher.
2. calculate Return on Equity(ROE)
Formula used:
ROE = Net income / Owner's equity
For Clobes:
Net income = 25,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
ROE = 25,000 / 200000 = 0.125
For Snyder:
Net income = 30,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
ROE = 30000 / 200000 = 0.15
For Welz:
Net income = 20,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
ROE = 20000 / 100000 = 0.2
Welz has the highest return of equity (ROE) of 0.2.
As a result, Welz is the most profitable company.
3. Return on assets:
Formula used
Return on Assets = Net income / Total assets
For Clobes:
Net income = 25,000
Total assets = 300,000
Return on Assets = 25,000 / 300000 = 0.08
For Snyder:
Net income = 30,000
Total assets = 500000
Return on Assets = 30000 / 500000 = 0.06
For Welz:
Net income = 20,000
Total assets = 400,000
Return on Assets = 20000 / 400000 = 0.05
Hence,
Clobes has the highest return on assets, which is 0.08.
Wattan Company reports beginning inventory of 14 units at $42 each. Every week for four weeks it purchases an additional 14 units at respective costs of $43, $44, $47, and $52 per unit for weeks 1 through 4. Compute the cost of goods available for sale and the units available for sale for this four-week period. Assume that no sales occur during those four weeks.
Answer:
$3192
70
Explanation:
the cost of goods available for sale = (14 X 42) + (14 X 43) + (14 X 44) (14 X 47) + (14 X 52) = $3192
14 X 5 = 70

You have acquired a new CT scanner at a cost of $750,000. You expect to perform 7,000 procedures per year over the estimated 5-year life of the scanner. Assuming no salvage value and an annual increase in replacement cost of 10 percent, what capital charge per procedure should the hospital levy to provide for replacement cost in the second year
Answer:
The capital charge per procedure that the hospital should levy to provide for replacement cost in the second year is:
= $64.82 per procedure.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of CT Scanner = $750,000
Annual increase in replacement cost = 10%
Estimated useful life of the scanner = 5 years
Number of procedures per year over the estimated 5-year life = 7,000
Total number of procedures = 35,000 (7,000 * 5)
Replacement cost in 2 years = $750,000 * FV factor
= $750,000 * 1.21
= $907,500
Amount to charge per procedure = $907,500/14,000
= $64.82
Desert Company exchanged 3,000 shares of its stock, for equipment from Jungle Company. Desert's stock has a par value of $50 per share and at the time of the exchange was not actively traded on a market but 12 months ago was sold at a value of $49 per share. The quoted fair value of the equipment is $170,993. What is the amount Desert should record as the historical cost of the equipment?
Answer:
Desert Company
The amount that Desert should record as the historical cost of the equipment is:
= $170,993.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Value of stock exchanged = $150,000 (3,000 * $50)
Fair value of equipment = $170,993
Gain from exchange of Equipment for shares = $20,993
b) The quoted fair value of Jungle's equipment should be used to record the historical cost in the financial statement of Desert Company. This value represents the only verifiable value. This value should then be compared to the value of the Desert shares exchanged with Jungle to determine if there is a loss or a gain from the exchange.

Burgundy, Inc., and Violet are equal partners in the calendar year BV LLC.
Burgundy uses a fiscal year ending April 30, and Violet uses a clean year.
Burgundy receives an annual guaranteed payment of $100,000 for use of capital contributed by Burgundy.
BV's taxable income (after deducting the payment to Burgundy, Inc.) is $80,000 for 2016 and $90,000 for 2017.
1. What is the amount of income from the LLC that Burgundy must report for its tax year ending April 30, 2017?
2. What is the amount of income from the LLC that Violet must report for her tax year ending December 31, 2017?
Answer: a. $141667
b. $45000
Explanation:
1. What is the amount of income from the LLC that Burgundy must report for its tax year ending April 30, 2017?
Guaranteed payments = $100,000
Share of 2016 income = ($80000 × 50% × 8/12) = $80000 × 0.5 × 0.67 = $26667
Share of 2017 income = ($90000 × 50% × 4/12) = $15000
Income = $100000 + $26667 + $15000
= $141,667
2. What is the amount of income from the LLC that Violet must report for her tax year ending December 31, 2017.
This will be the share of 2017 income which will be:
= 50% × $90000
= 0.5 × $90000
= $45000
Flagstaff Company has budgeted production units of 7,900 for July and 8,100 for August. The direct materials requirement per unit is 2 ounces (oz.). The company requires to have safety stock of direct materials on hand at the end of each month to complete 20% of the units of budgeted production in the following month. There was 3,160 ounces of direct material in inventory at the start of July. The total ounces of direct materials to be purchased in July is:
a. 15,720 oz.
b. 15,880 oz.
c. 16,200 oz.
d. 15,800 oz.
e. 19,040 oz.
Answer:
Purchases= 15,880 ounces
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production:
July= 7,900
August= 8,100
The direct materials required per unit are 2 ounces (oz.).
Desired ending inventory= 20% of the units of budgeted production in the following month.
Beginning inventory= 3,160 ounces
To calculate the direct material purchase, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 7,900*2 + (8,100*2)*0.2 - 3,160
Purchases= 15,880 ounces
name two considerations by the Minister of finance when setting up a budget
Answer:
1. Revenue
2. Expenditure
Explanation:
Given that a country's budget is a robust plan usually prepared by the government of the country under the watchful eye of the Minister of Finance which thereby is used in presenting the country's expected or predicted revenues and proposed expenditure for the subsequent financial year.
Hence, two considerations by the Minister of finance when setting up a budget are REVENUE and EXPENDITURE.
Garland Inc. offers a new employee a single-sum signing bonus at the date of employment, June 1, 2021. Alternatively, the employee can receive $44,000 at the date of employment plus $15,000 each June 1 for four years, beginning in 2024. Assuming the employee's time value of money is 9% annually, what single amount at the employment date would make the options equally desirable
Answer: $84,902.17
Explanation:
Find the present value of the $44,000 and the $15,000 each June for 4 years.
First find the present value of the $15,000 in June 2024:
= 15,000 * Present value interest factor of Annuity due, 4 years, 9%
= 15,000 * 3.5313
= $52,969.50
Then present value it to 2021:
= 52,969.50 / (1 + 9%)³
= $40,902.17
Add this to the $44,000 on June 2021:
= 44,000 + 40,902.17
= $84,902.17
Employee will be indifferent if $84,902.17 is received.
leases telecommunications equipment from Photon Company. Assume the following data for equipment leased from Photon Company. The lease term is 5 years and requires equal rental payments of $31,000 at the beginning of each year. The equipment has a fair value at the commencement of the lease of $150,000, an estimated useful life of 8 years, and a guaranteed residual value at the end of the lease of $15,500. Photon set the annual rental to earn a rate of return of 6%, and this fact is known to Callaway. The lease does not transfer title or contain a bargain purchase option, and is not a specialized asset.
Required:
How should Callaway classify this lease?
Answer:
Financial lease
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The Present value of minimum lease payments is
= Present value of rental payments + Present value of GRV
= $31,000 × Cumulative PV factor at 6% for 5 periods of annuity due + $15,500 × PV Factor at 6% for 5th period
= $31,000 × 4.46511 + $15,500 × 0.79209
= $138,418 + $12,277
= $150,695
Since the lease payments present value would be more than 90% of the fair value so it would be classified as the financial lease
On January 1, 2021, Carla Vista Corporation signed a 5-year noncancelable lease for equipment. The terms of the lease called for Carla Vista to make annual payments of $195000 at the beginning of each year for 5 years beginning on January 1, 2021 with the title passing to Carla Vista at the end of this period. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years and no salvage value. Carla Vista uses the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its fixed assets. Carla Vista accordingly accounts for this lease transaction as a finance lease. The lease payments were determined to have a present value of $813124 at an effective interest rate of 10%.
In 2022, Carla Vista should record interest expense of:________
a. $67994.
b. $48494.
c. $61812.
d. $42312.
Answer:
In 2022, Carla Vista should record interest expense of:________
c. $61,812.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
The Present Value (PV) of a 5-year noncancelable lease of equipment = $813,124
Annual lease payments = $195,000
Effective interest rate = 10%
Estimated lease term = 5 years
Estimated useful life of equipment = 7 years
Salvage value of equipment = $0
Method of Depreciation = Straight-line method
Lease period percentage = 71% (5/7)
Interest expense:
December 31, 2021 = $81,312 ($813,124 * 10%)
December 31, 2022 - $61,812 ($813,124 - $195,000 * 10%)
Beyond grades, what else would make a student stand out to an admissions counselor?
Answer:
Extracurricular Activity
Colleges prefer students who are active in academics as well as off it. This shows diversity in the student and is a trait that the counselors would be looking for.
Extracurricular activities like after-school jobs, sports and even volunteering at NGOs weigh heavily in the assessment of a student's ability to fit in a college and if you had great grade whilst doing these activities, you will have a better chance at being admitted.
Ted owns a small florist shop. Since his business is booming, his realizes he will soon need one more delivery van. He decides he will purchase a full size van versus a minivan, which he currently owns. The van he is looking to buy in 3 years will cost him $25,000. How much should he invest each quarter into an account that pays 3% per year compounded quarterly, so that he can have the desired funds in 3 years
Answer:
$1998.79
Explanation:
Quarterly payment = future value /annuity factor
Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^mn] - 1} / r
r = interest rate = interest rate / number of compounding 3%/4
N = number of years
m = number of compounding
Annuity factor =[ (1.0075)^12 - 1] / 0.0075 = 12.507586
Quarterly payment = $25,000 / 12.507586 = $1998.79
Suppose that a hot dog vendor uses a cart (K) and his time (L) to make and sell hot dogs. The vendor's production function is , where Q is the number of hot dogs per day. Suppose that the rental on hot dog carts is $50 per day and that the vendor wants to produce 500 hot dogs per day. The demand for labor is ____.
Answer:
L = 2084.75 W^-0.3
Explanation:
The computation of the demand of the labor is shown below:
At the optimum input
As we know that
MRTS = MPL ÷ MPK = w ÷ r
0.7(K ÷ L)^0.3 ÷ 0.3(L ÷ K)^0.7 = w ÷ 50
7K ÷ 3L = w ÷ 50
K = (3 ÷ 350)wL
Now apply the production function
Q = K^0.3L^0.7
500 = ((3 ÷ 350)wL)^0.3 L^0.7
500 = (3 ÷ 350)^0.3 × w^0.3 × L
L = 2084.75 × w^-0.3.
