Answer:
Dividend per Share:
1st Year
Preferred dividend per share = $3.75
Common dividend per share = $0
2nd Year
Preferred dividend per share = $7.45
Common dividend per share = $0.149
3rd Year
Preferred dividend per share = $5.6
Common dividend per share = $1.169
4th Year
Preferred dividend per share = $5.6
Common dividend per share = $1.39
Explanation:
The cumulative preferred stock is the stock which accumulates or accrues dividends in case the dividends are not paid or partially paid in a particular year. These accumulated dividends or dividends in arrears are paid whenever the company declares dividends next time.
Preferred dividend per year = 20000 * 140 * 0.04 = $112000
1st year
Preferred dividend = 75000
Preferred dividend per share = 75000 / 20000 = $3.75 per share
Accumulated preferred dividends = 112000 - 75000 = $37000
Common dividend = 0
Common dividend per share = 0
2nd year
Preferred dividend = 37000 + 112000
Preferred dividend per share = 149000 / 20000 = $7.45 per share
Common dividend = 10000
Common dividend per share = 10000 / 67000 = $0.149 per share
3rd year
Preferred dividend = 112000
Preferred dividend per share = 112000 / 20000 = $5.6 per share
Common dividend = 78300
Common dividend per share = 78300 / 67000 = $1.169 per share
4th year
Preferred dividend = 112000
Preferred dividend per share = 112000 / 20000 = $5.6 per share
Common dividend = 93130
Common dividend per share = 93130 / 67000 = $1.39 per share
Nelly is creating an executive committee in a large corporation in order to decide how to open a new subsidiary. The committee has representation from the sales, information technology, general management, and warehouse departments. She feels unsure whether to include someone from the accounting department because she thinks that accountants focus only on taxes and do not have much management expertise. What would you suggest
Answer: Accountants do much more than taxes and often participate in executive committeesbecause of their financial perspective. This committee should include someone from the accounting or finance department.
Explanation:
The options to the question are:
a. Accountants usually do not work on strategy or planning, so the executive committee doesnot need a representative from the accounting department.
b. Accountants will not help the executive committee. The committee does not need arepresentative from the accounting department.
c. Accountants do much more than taxes and often participate in executive committees because of their financial perspective. This committee should include someone from the accounting or finance department.
From the question, we are informed that Nelly is creating an executive committee in a large corporation in order to decide how to open a new subsidiary and that she is unsure whether to include someone from the accounting department because she thinks that accountants focus only on taxes and do not have much management expertise.
I would suggest that she needs to include an accountant. Accountants do much more than just taxes. She needs someone from the finance or accounting department that will help in the communication, and processing of every financial details regarding the company or whatever they intend doing. For every executive committee, the role of accountants cannot be understated as they participate in executive committees due to their financial perspective on certain issues.
The aim of every organization is cost minimization and profit maximization and an accountant can help in achieving these aims.
On December 31, the end of the first year of operations, Frankenreiter Inc. manufactured 25,600 units and sold 24,000 units. The following income statement was prepared, based on the variable costing concept: Frankenreiter Inc. Variable Costing Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 20Y1 1 Sales $9,600,000.00 2 Variable cost of goods sold: 3 Variable cost of goods manufactured $5,376,000.00 4 Inventory, December 31 (336,000.00) 5 Total variable cost of goods sold 5,040,000.00 6 Manufacturing margin $4,560,000.00 7 Total variable selling and administrative expenses 1,150,000.00 8 Contribution margin $3,410,000.00 9 Fixed costs: 10 Fixed manufacturing costs $1,664,000.00 11 Fixed selling and administrative expenses 890,000.00 12 Total fixed costs 2,554,000.00 13 Income from operations $856,000.00 Determine the unit cost of goods manufactured, based on (a) the variable costing concept and (b) the absorption costing concept.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 25,600 units
Units sold= 24,000
Variable cost of goods sold= $5,376,000
Fixed manufacturing costs= $1,664,000
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Variable costing method:
Unitary product cost= 5,376,000/25,600= $210
Absorption costing:
Unitary product cost= 210 + (1,664,000/25,600)= $275
For 2018, Rest-Well Bedding uses machine-hours as the only overhead cost-allocation base. The direct cost rate is $6.00 per unit. The selling price of the product is $21.00. The estimated manufacturing overhead costs are $275,000 and estimated 40,000 machine hours. The actual manufacturing overhead costs are $350,000 and actual machine hours are 50,000. Using job costing, the 2018 actual indirect-cost rate is ________.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.875 per machine-hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The estimated manufacturing overhead costs are $275,000 and an estimated 40,000 machine hours.
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 275,000/40,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.875 per machine-hour
Use the 2012 segment information provided by BMW and Volkswagen to an- swer the following questions: a. Which company is more multinational? b. Which company is more internationally diversified? c. In which region(s) of the world did each company experience the greatest growth from 2011–2012? the greatest decline?
Answer with its Explanation:
a). The total revenue of Volkswagen and BMW in the 2012 segment given shows that the revenue is $192,676 and BMW which is $76,848. As the revenue of Volkswagen is more than the BMW hence Volkswagen is more multinational.
b). The regional sales section shows that the Volkswagen is more internationally recognized as per the regional sales which is substantially higher than the regional sales of BMW. So its crystal clear that Volkswagen is the one which more internationally diversified.
c). The 2012 segment information shows that the BMW greatest growth was in China then in USA and then greatest growth was in Rest of the Europe and the greatest decline was in Rest of the America.
For Volkswagen, the greatest growth was in North America then in Asia and then in South America. The greatest decline wasn't seen in the segment information but lowest increase was seen in Germany and then in the European countries.
Tom Company incurs overhead costs each year in its three main departments, setup ($70,000), machining ($34,000), and packing ($56,000). Information about the company's two products is as follows:
Product A1 Product B1 Total
Number of setups 7 33 40
Machining hours 2,800 2,200 5,000
Orders packed 280 220 500
Number of products manufactured 560 440 1,000
If machining hours are used as a base under traditional costing, how much overhead is assigned to Product A1?
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $89,600
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Tom Company incurs overhead costs each year in its three main departments, setup ($70,000), machining ($34,000), and packing ($56,000).
Product A1 Product B1 Total
Number of setups 7 33 40
Machining hours 2,800 2,200 5,000
Orders packed 280 220 500
Number of products manufactured 560 440 1,000
Under the traditional costing system, the company applies overhead based on a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 160,000/ 5,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $32 per machine hour
Now, we can apply overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 32*2,800= $89,600
7. Identifying costs of inflation Bob manages a grocery store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. He is paid in cash twice per month. On payday, he immediately goes out and buys all the goods he will need over the next two weeks in order to prevent the money in his wallet from losing value. What he can't spend, he converts into a more stable foreign currency for a steep fee. This is an example of the of inflation.
Answer:
Shoe-leather Costs.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Bob manages a grocery store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. He is paid in cash twice per month. On payday, he immediately goes out and buys all the goods he will need over the next two weeks in order to prevent the money in his wallet from losing value.
What he can't spend, he converts into a more stable foreign currency for a steep fee. This is an example of the Shoes-leather costs of inflation.
A Shoe-leather costs refers to the costs of time, energy and effort people expend to mitigate the effect of high inflation on the depreciative purchasing power of money by frequently visiting depository financial institutions in order to minimize inflation tax they pay on holding cash.
Metaphorically, it ultimately implies that in order to protect the value of money or assets, some people wear out the sole of their shoes by going to financial institutions more frequently to make deposits.
Hence, Bob is practicing a shoe-leather cost of inflation so as to reduce the nominal interest rates.
Rachelle transfers property with a tax basis of $800 and a fair market value of $960 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $765 and $42 in cash in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $153 on the property transferred. What is the corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange
Answer:
$842
Explanation:
The computation of corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange is shown below:-
corporation's tax basis = Fair market value + Transaction
= $800 + $42
= $842
Therefore, The corporation's tax basis should be equivalent to the shareholder's tax basis as the property is transferred for $800 (a substituted basis) and add gain recognized of $42. And If the corporation sells the property for $960, the recognized gain would be $52.
A corporation has $7,000,000 in income after paying preferred dividends of $500,000. The company has 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The market price of the stock is $56. What is the price-earnings ratio
Answer:
Price earning ratio= 8 times
Explanation:
Price earning ratio = Price per share /Earnings per share
Price per share = 56, EPS =?
Price per share =56, EPS = Total earnings available to ordinary shareholders/Number of shares
7,000,000/1,000,000= $7 per share
Price earning ratio = 56/7= 8 times
Price earning ratio= 8 times
Lease A does not contain a bargain purchase option, but the lease term is equal to 90% of the estimated economic life of the leased property. Lease B does not transfer ownership of the property to the lessee by the end of the lease term, but the lease term is equal to 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased property. Based on this information alone, how should the lessee classify these leases
Answer: Lease A Capital lease
Lease B Capital lease
Explanation:
A Capital lease is known as a lease agreement in which the lessor ( someone giving out the property) agrees to transfer the ownership rights to the lessee ( someone acquiring or needing the services of the property). After completion of the agreed lease period.
In a capital lease, the lessor is usually mandated to transfer the ownership rights of the asset to the lessee upon the end of the agreed lease term between both parties.
Holt Enterprises recently paid a dividend, D0, of $3.75. It expects to have nonconstant growth of 23% for 2 years followed by a constant rate of 6% thereafter. The firm's required return is 9%.
a. How far away is the horizon date?
I. The terminal, or horizon, date is Year 0 since the value of a common stock is the present value of all future expected dividends at time zero.
II. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes nonconstant. This occurs at time zero.
III. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the beginning of Year 2.
IV. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2.
V. The terminal, or horizon, date is infinity since common stocks do not have a maturity date.
b. What is the firm's horizon, or continuing, value? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
c. What is the firm's intrinsic value today, P0? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer:
a. How far away is the horizon date?
IV. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2.
b. What is the firm's horizon, or continuing, value? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
to determine the horizon value we can use the Gordon growth formula:
stock price = future dividend / (required rate of return - constant growth rate)
Div₀ = $3.75
Div₁ = $4.6125
Div₂ = $5.673375
Div₃ = $6.97825125
since the terminal value is calculated for year 2, we must use Div₃ in our calculations:
stock price = $6.97825125 / (9% - 6%) = $232.61
c. What is the firm's intrinsic value today, P0? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
we have to calculate the present value of:
P₀ = $4.6125/1.09 + $5.673375/1.09² + $232.608375/1.09² = $4.2317 + $4.7752 + $195.7818 = $204.7887 ≈ $204.79
Agent Jennings makes a presentation on Medicare advertised as an educational event. Agent Jennings distributes materials that are solely educational in nature. However, she gives a brief presentation that mentions plan-specific premiums. Is this a prohibited activity at an event that has been advertised as educational?
Answer:
Yes it is
Explanation:
Yes. When an event has been advertised as educational, going ahead to discuss plan-specific premiums is impermissible
The event for which Mary made the presentation is clearly an educational event so she should have concentrated fully on only educational contents that pertains to the event. Giving a presentation that mentions plan-specific premiums no matter how brief is a deviation from the main focus of the event. Therefore it is impermissible for her to do so.

A truck was purchased 3 years ago for $50,000 and can be sold today for $25,000. The operating costs are $9,000 per year, and it is expected to last 4 more years with a $5,000 salvage value. A new truck, which will perform that same service, can be purchased for $55,000, and it will have a life of 10 years with operating costs of $28,000 per year and a $10,000 salvage value. What is the value that should be used as P for the presently owned vehicle in a replacement study
Answer:
P = $25,000
Explanation:
Cost price of truck = $50,000
Present value = $25,000
Operating costs = $9,000 per year
Salvage value = $4,000
Find remaining amount for old truck:
Amount remaining = $50,000 - $25,000 = $25,000
Total amount, since it has a salvage value of $5,000:
Total = $25,00 + $5,000 = $30,000
For new truck:
Cost price = $55,000
Operating costs = $28,000 per year
Salvage value = $10,000
To find the value that should be used as P for the presently owned vehicle in a replacement study:
P = Cost of new truck - Total amount remaining from old truck
P = $55,000 - $30,000
P = $25,000
Therefore, the value that should be used as P for the presently owned vehicle in a replacement study is $25,000

A company had beginning inventory... A company had beginning inventory of 10 units at a cost of $20 each on March 1. On March 2, it purchased 10 units at $22 each. On March 6 it purchased 6 units at $25 each. On March 8, it sold 22 units for $54 each. Using the FIFO perpetual inventory method, what was the cost of the 22 units sold
Answer:
COGS= $470
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 10 units for $20 each
On March 2, it purchased 10 units at $22 each.
On March 6 it purchased 6 units at $25 each.
On March 8, it sold 22 units for $54 each.
We need to determine the cost of goods sold for the 22 units under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method. Using this method, we need to use the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory.
COGS= 10*20 + 10*22 + 2*25= $470
One-year Treasury securities yield 4%. The market anticipates that 1-year from now 1-year Treasury securities will yield 2.1%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what should be the yield today for 2-year Treasury securities? Write your answer as a percentage, i.e. for example write 8% as 8.
Answer:
3.05%
Explanation:
According to Pure Expectation Theory, the future short term interest rates are actually the forward rates.
Mathematically,
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + r1,0)^1 * (1 + r1,1)^1
Here,
r2,0 is the rate of interest for 2 year treasury security from today
r1,0 is the rate of the interest for 1 year treasury security from today
r1,1 is the rate of the interest for 2 year treasury security from Year 1
By Putting Values, we have:
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + 0.04)^1 * (1 + 0.021)^1
(1 + r2,0)^2 = 1.06184
By taking square-root on both sides, we have:
(1 + r2,0) = 1.0305
r2,0 = 3.05%
To advertise or not to advertise Suppose that Creamland and Dairy King are the only two firms that sell ice cream. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether or not it advertises:
Dairy King
Advertise Doesn't Advertise
Creamland Advertise 10,10 18, 2
Doesn't Advertise 2,18 11,11
For example, the upper right cell shows that if Creamland advertises and Dairy King doesn't advertise, Creamland will make a profit of $18 million, and Dairy King will make a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Creamland and Dairy King are both profit-maximizing firms.
a. If Creamland decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ _______ million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $_______ million if Dairy King not advertise.
b. If Creamland decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of________ million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of______ $ million if Dairy King does not advertise.
Suppose that both firms start off not advertising. If the firms act independently, what strategies will they end up choosing?
a. Creamland will choose not to advertise and Dairy King will choose to advertise.
b. Both firms will choose not to advertise.
c. Both firms will choose to advertise.
d. Creamland will choose to advertise and Dairy King will choose not to advertise.
Answer:
a. 10, 18
b. 2, 11
c. Both firms will choose to advertise.
Explanation:
Interpreting the payoff matrix for all possible cases:
Both Advertise:
Dairy King profit = 10
Creamland profit = 10
Neither Advertise:
Dairy King profit = 11
Creamland profit = 11
Only Dairy King advertises:
Dairy King profit = 18
Creamland profit = 2
Only Creamland advertises:
Dairy King profit = 2
Creamland profit = 18.
Filling in the blanks:
a. If Creamland decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $10 million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $18 million if Dairy King not advertise.
b. If Creamland decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of $2 million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $11 million if Dairy King does not advertise.
For both firms, if they choose not to advertise and the other firm advertises, they will have a much lower profit than their competitors. Therefore, the dominant strategy for either firm is to advertise since it will at least keep them even with their competitor (if both advertise).
The answer is c. Both firms will choose to advertise.
Kahn of Portland Oregon sent a letter to Lischner of Los Angeles inquiring whether Kushner’s property in Humboldt County was for sale. Lischner replied that he was interested in selling and asked Kahn about the fair market value. Kahn wrote that it was difficult to make an offer without a legal description of the property and asked for it and the annual taxes. These were provided by Lischner. Subsequently, Kahn wrote, "I hesitate to place a value on someone else’s property, but I can tell you that I have been offered a similar track of property for $2,000. Since your property is closer to mine, I would prefer to buy yours, and offer a four-year term contract at a total price of $2,500." The two parties ultimately agreed on a cash price of $2,500. Shortly after contracting with Kahn, Lischner went to Humboldt county and readily learned, upon the most superficial inquiry that the property was worth more than $2,500. He sold the property to Pacoima Lumber Sales, Inc. for $7,500. Thereupon, Kahn sued Lischner for $5,000. Lischner responded that he had been induced to contract by a fraudulent misrepresentation as to the value of the property by Kahn and therefore could rescind their contract of sale.What are the elements that must be present for fraudulent misrepresentation? Did Kahn commit fraud? Why, or why not.
Answer:
Misrepresentation & Fraud:
a) Elements for Fraudulent Misrepresentation:
1) A representation was in fact made: This means that it was not just a mere opinion expressed by the party misrepresenting.
2) That particular representation was false: The statement made was untrue.
3) The defendant had knowledge that the representation was false: The misrepresentation was intentional on the party of the defendant.
4) The statement was made with the intention that the other party rely on it and enter into a contract or agreement: The defendant was out to induce the other party to enter the contract.
b) Kahn committed a fraud since he intentionally induced Lischner to contract on the basis of fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedy available for Lischner is to rescind the contract.
Explanation:
a) Fraudulent misrepresentation is the presentation of false facts by someone who attempts to persuade another into action with the intent to deceive. The remedy available to the deceived party is to rescind the contract or to plea for damages.
b) According to the britannica.com, "Fraud, in law, is the deliberate misrepresentation of fact for the purpose of depriving someone of a valuable possession."
QUESTION 12 For a strategic alliance, firms should seek partners that are: a. known for being opportunistic. b. radically different when it comes to strategic goals. c. willing to share costs and risks of new-product development. d. different in terms of vision and agendas. e. similar when it comes to capabilities.
Answer:
c. willing to share costs and risks of new-product development.
Explanation:
A strategic alliance is when two companies come together to carry out a project that benefits both companies while both companies still retain their independence.
If strategic alliance is carried out with a company that is opportunistic, the company might take advantage of the other company or take certain actions that would not benefit the other company.
strategic alliance has to be mutually beneficial to both companies, so, strategic goals and visions have to align.
Capabilities don't have to be the same for a strategic alliance.
I hope my answer helps you
You purchase one MMM July 129 call contract (equaling 100 shares) for a premium of $21. You hold the option until the expiration date, when MMM stock sells for $141 per share. You will realize a ______ on the investment.
Answer:
There is loss of $900 on investment.
Explanation:
The purchase of 1 MMM July 129 call contract at premium = $21
Since it is given that it is held unit the expiration date.
The selling price of MMM stock = $141 per share.
Total number of shares = 100
Total amount paid for share (purchase price) = 129 + 21 = $150
Loss or profit = Market price on expiration date- purchase price
=141-150
= - 9
Total loss = 9 × 100
=900 loss
Sumner sold equipment that it uses in its business for $31,800. Sumner bought the equipment a few years ago for $79,100 and has claimed $39,550 of depreciation expense. Assuming that this is Sumner's only disposition during the year, what is the amount and character of Sumner's gain or loss
Answer:
Sumner's has a loss of $-7750 from the sale of the equipment
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
We compute the amount of profit and loss, few steps will be taken which is given below:
Step 1: we compute the book value of the equipment which is shown below:
Book value = purchase price - depreciation claimed
= $79,100 -$39,550
= $39550
Therefore then book value is $39,550
Step 2: we calculate the amount of Sumner's gain or loss which is shown below:
The gain (loss) is = the value (sale) - book value
= $31,800 - 39550
= -7750
Therefore the loss from the sale of the equipment is -$7750

8. Problems and Applications Q8 The city government is considering two tax proposals: • A lump-sum tax of $300 on each producer of hamburgers. • A tax of $1 per burger, paid by producers of hamburgers. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the lump-sum tax? Check all that apply. Average fixed cost will increase. Average variable cost will remain unchanged. Average total cost will increase. Marginal cost will increase. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the per-burger tax? Check all that apply. Average fixed cost will remain unchanged. Average total cost will increase. Average variable cost will increase. Marginal cost will remain unchanged.
Answer:
Which of the following statements is true as a result of the lump-sum tax?
Average fixed cost will increase.
Average total cost will increase.
The lump-sum tax of $300 is a one time payment that does not depend on the amount of output, for this reason, it is a fixed cost that is spread over the total quantity of burgers that are produced, and that also affect average total cost.
Which of the following statements is true as a result of the per-burger tax?
Average fixed cost will remain unchanged.
Average total cost will increase.
Average variable cost will increase.
The per-burger tax depends on the quanityt of burgers produced, therefore, it is another variable cost. It affects average total cost, and average variable cost, while average fixed cost remains unchaged precisely because it is not a fixed cost.
The average cost of production is computed by dividing the number cost (TC) by the output produced (TO) (Q). When we say "per unit cost of production," we mean that all fixed and variable costs are taken into account when calculating the average cost.
As a result, it's also known as Per Unit Total Cost.
The answers to the above questions are:
1) The $300 lump-sum tax is a one-time contribution that is not based on the amount of output; as a result, it is a fixed cost that is distributed across the total quantity of burgers produced, affecting the average total cost.
So, Option A and C are correct.
2) The per-burger tax is a variable expense that is determined by the number of burgers consumed. It has an effect on average total cost and average variable cost, but it has no effect on average fixed cost because it is not a fixed cost.
So, Option A, B, and C are correct.
Thus these Options are correct for the following question.

George’s Car Repair Shop buys parts from a local parts distributor. The distributor delivers the parts promptly under terms stated on the invoice: 3/15 net 30. George has always paid the bill within 30 days and has never really worried about these invoice terms. Which of the following statements is true of this scenario?
a. George should not react to these payment terms because they area tactic used by many distributors to get customers to pay early, with little or no benefitto George.
b. These terms mean that the payment is due in 30 days, but that as long as he is not more than 15 days late, he can avoid the 3% late penalty. Thus, George could actually delay payment until the 45th day without incurring a penalty.
c. He is smart to wait until the 30th day before making payment because this gives him the use of cash for the maximum possible amount of time.
d. If possible, it is smart to pay the bill within 15 days after receipt because then he will receive a 3% discount. If he does a lot of business with this firm, this will result in a sizeable savings for George by year’s end.
Answer:
d. If possible, it is smart to pay the bill within 15 days after receipt because then he will receive a 3% discount. If he does a lot of business with this firm, this will result in a sizeable savings for George by year’s end.
Explanation:
In the given instance the supplier of parts to George uses invoice 3%/15 net 30. This means if payment for parts is made within 15 days George will get a discount of 3%, if not the total amount of the parts is to be repayed within 30 days.
The best option for George will be to reduce his repayment period from 30 days to 15 days or less.
This way he will get 3% discount on sales and if he does a lot of business with the spare parts dealer, he will save a large sum of money

Consider two ways of commuting in a crowded city: taking public transportation, such as subway and buses, or driving your own car.
A person who chooses to take public transportation in a crowded city imposes a NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE externality on drivers. A policy implication of this result is a SUBSIDY FOR OR TAX ON those who take public transportation.
Persons who choose to drive their own cars to get around in a crowded city impose a NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE externality on other drivers. A policy implication of this result is a TAX ON OR SUBSIDY FOR those who drive their own cars.
Answer: positive; subsidy for; negative; tax on.
Explanation:
A positive externality occurs when the activities of an economic agent is of benefit to another third party that is not part of the activity or transaction while negative externality is the cost an individual bears due to the market activities of another individual or firm. It should be noted that the third parties didn't plan to incur the costs or benefits mentioned above.
Therefore, an individual who chooses to take public transportation in a crowded city imposes a positive externality on drivers. We are told that the city is overcrowded, therefore using public transportation means there will be lesser vehicles on the road and this will be beneficial to the drivers and there may be subsidy for those who take public transportation.
The people who choose to drive their own cars to get around in a crowded city impose a negative externality because there will be traffic congestion and health hazards and a tax can be imposed on them.
The following information is available for a company's maintenance cost over the last seven months.
Month Maintenance Hours Maintenance Cost
June 9 $5,200
July 18 $6,650
August 12 4,850
September 15 5,750
October 21 6,650
November 24 6,950
December 6 3,350
Using the high-low method, estimate both the fixed and variable components of its maintenance cost.
High-Low method Calculation of variable cost per unit
Total cost at the high point ____
Variable costs at the high point
Volume at the high point: ____
Variable cost per unit ____
Total variable costs at the high point ____
Total fixed costs ____
Total cost at the low point ____
Variable costs at the low point
Volume at the low point ____
Variable cost per unit
Total variable costs at the low point
Total fixed costs ____
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $240
Fixed costs= $1,910
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
June 9 $5,200
July 18 $6,650
August 12 4,850
September 15 5,750
October 21 6,650
November 24 6,950
December 6 3,350
To calculate the variable and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (6,950 - 3,350) / (21 - 6)
Variable cost per unit= $240
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 6,950 - (240*21)
Fixed costs= $1,910
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 3,350 - (240*6)
Fixed costs= $1,910
A pollution haven is A. unattractive for multinational investment because of the ambient pollution. B. a location with weak environmental rules that attracts manufacturing companies due to decreased costs. C. a place that has very low worker wages. D. a place where people actually like pollution and view it as a positive externality.
Answer:
B. a location with weak environmental rules that attracts manufacturing companies due to decreased costs.
Explanation:
A pollution haven is when companies establish factories or offices abroad in countries in which they have lower costs and have access to all the resources they need. Also, these locations tend to be in developing nations in which the environmental standards tend to be lower than the ones in developed nations. According to this, the answer is that a pollution haven is a location with weak environmental rules that attracts manufacturing companies due to decreased costs.
The other options are not right because a pollution haven is attractive for multinational investment because of the lower cost and it is not related to ambient pollution. Also, a pollution haven has low wages but it is not the only thing that defines it and it is not a place where people like pollution.
