Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
2019:
Break-even point= $385,000
Selling price= $7
Fixed costs= $115,500
2020:
Break-even point= $454,000
First, we need to calculate the contribution margin ratio for 2019. We will use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
385,000 = 115,500 / contribution margin ratio
contribution margin ratio*385,000 = 115,500
contribution margin ratio= 0.3
Now, we can determine the unitary variable cost:
contribution margin ratio= unitary contribution margin / selling price
0.3 = (7 - unitary variable cost) / 7
2.1 = 7 - unitary variable cost
unitary variable cost= $4.9
Finally, we can determine the fixed costs for 2020 and the net increase with 2019:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
454,000= fixed costs / 0.3
$136,200 = fixed costs
Increase= 136,200 - 115,500= $20,700

A callable bond:
A. Is generally call protected during the entire term of the bond issue,
B. generally will have a call protection period during the final three years prior to maturity.
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
D. is prohibited from having a sinking fund also.
E. Is frequently called at a price that is less than par value
Answer:
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
Explanation:
A callable bond is also called a redeemable bond. It a debt instrument that the issuer may decide to call or redeem before the maturity date.
This is used by bond issuers to have a cheaper cost of borrowing funds.
For example when interests are low the issuer can buy back his bonds at a lower cost this reducing his debt burden.
So callable bonds are structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call or redemption.

Which of the following statements about annuities are true? Check all that apply. An ordinary annuity of equal time earns less interest than an annuity due. Annuities are structured to provide fixed payments for a fixed period of time. When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as ordinary annuities. When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as an annuity due.
Answer:
The true statements are:
Annuities are structured to provide fixed payments for a fixed period of time.
When equal payments are made at the beginning of each period for a certain time period, they are treated as an annuity due.
Explanation:
Annuities provide fixed payments for a lifetime or a specified period of time. With equal payments at the beginning of each period for a fixed period of time, the annuity is regarded as an annuity due. But with equal payments at the end of the period, it is an ordinary annuity. A common example of annuity due is payment for Rent at the beginning of the month or year. If the Rent is paid at the end of the month or year, it is an ordinary annuity.
Suppose the production of long-distance airline flights is described by a fixed proportion production process in which three crew members (i.e., labor) are required for each aircraft (i.e., capital). If the airline operates with four crew members per plane, then we know that: A. the production process violates diminishing margin returns. B. production at this point is technically inefficient. C. the isoquants for this production process are upward sloping. D. the airline will have negative profits.
Answer:
production at this point is technically inefficient.
Explanation:
The Factors of Production are simply the inputs in the production process such as labor, capital, materials.
The production function shows the various materials or recipes for producing a given level of output. It shows the output that can be produced if the firm is technically efficient.
Production at point of technically inefficient are said to be points in the production set but not on the production function.
Fixed Proportion Production Function is simply a Production function with L-shaped isoquants that is only one combination of labor and capital can be used to produce each level of output. It describes situations in which methods of production are limited.

29. Randolph is a 30 percent partner in the RD Partnership. On January 1, RD distributes $22,500 cash and inventory with a fair value of $56,000 (inside basis of $28,000) to Randolph in complete liquidation of his interest. RD has no liabilities at the date of the distribution. Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $53,625. What is the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution
Answer: $3125 capital loss
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, we should note that RD Partnership distributes $22500 cash and inventory with inside basis of $28000.
Since Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $53,625, the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution will be:
= ($22500 + $28000) - $53625
= $50500 - $53625
= -$3125
Therefore, there's a capital loss of $3125

Explanation:
Wildhorse Co. is a full-service manufacturer of surveillance equipment. Customers can purchase any combination of equipment, installation services, and training as part of Wildhorse’s security services. Thus, each of these performance obligations are separate with individual standalone selling prices. Laplante Inc. purchased cameras, installation, and training at a total price of $88,100. Estimated standalone selling prices of the equipment, installation, and training are $81,000, $6,300, and $2,700, respectively. How should the transaction price be allocated to the equipment, installation, and training?
WeAnswer:
Equipment $79,290
Installation $6,167
Training $2,643
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How should the transaction price be allocated to the equipment, installation, and training
First step is to calculate the total estimated fair value
Total estimated fair value = $81,000+$6,300+$2,700
Total estimated fair value =$90,000
Now let calculate How should the transaction price be allocated
Equipment= ($81,000 ÷ $90,000)*$88,100
Equipment= 90%*$88,100
Equipment=$79,290
Installation=($6,300 ÷ $90,000)* $88,100
Installation= 7%*$88,100
Installation=$6,167
Training=($2,700 ÷ $90,000)*$88,100
Training= 3%*$88,100
Training=$2,643
TOTAL
Equipment=$81,000
Installation=$6,300
Training=$2,700
Total $90,000
Equipment=$79,290
Installation=$6,167
Training=$2,643
Total $88,100
Equipment=90%
Installation=7%
Training=3%
Total 100%
Therefore the transaction price that should be allocated to the equipment, installation, and training are :
Equipment $79,290
Installation $6,167
Training $2,643

Answer:
a) $3.57
(b) Return on common stockholders’ equity = 39.46%
(c) Return On Assets = 22.43%
(d) Current Ratio = 1.86 times
(e) Account Receivables Turnover Ratio = 16.74 times
(f) Average collection period = 21.8 days
(g) Inventory Turnover = 8.47 times
(h) Days in inventory = 43.09 days
(i) Times interest earned = 14.69 times
(j) Asset turnover = 1.96 times
(k) Debt to assets ratio = 41.24%
(l) Free cash flow = $24,952
Explanation:
(a) Earnings per share
Net income = $248,808
Beginning number of shares = Beginning Common stock / Par value = $354,000 / $5 = 70,800
Ending number of shares = Ending Common stock / Par value = $342,200 / $5 = = 68,440
Average Number of Shares Outstanding = (Beginning number of shares + Ending number of shares) / 2 = (68,440 + 70,800) / 2 = 69,620
Earning Per Shares = Net Income/ Average Number of Shares Outstanding = $248,808 / 69,620 = $3.57
(b) Return on common stockholders’ equity
Average Stockholders Equity = (Beginning Stockholders Equity + Ending Stockholders Equity) / 2 = ($549,172 + $712,012) / 2 = $630,592
Return on Stockholders Equity = Net Income / Average Stockholders Equity = $248,808 / $630,592 = 0.3946, or 39.46%
(c) Return on assets
Average total assets = (Ending total assets + Beginning total assets) / 2 = ($1,211,742 + 1,006,304) / 2 = $1,109,023
Return On Assets = Net Income / Average total assets = $248,808 / $1,109,023 = 0.2243, or 22.43%
(d) Current ratio
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities = $445,922 / $240,130 = 1.86 times
(e) Accounts receivable turnover
Average Account Receivables = (Beginning Account Receivables + Ending Account Receivables) / 2 = ($139,004 + $121,304) / 2 = $130,154
Account Receivables Turnover Ratio = Sales / Average Account Receivables = $2,178,400 / $130,154 = 16.74 times
(f) Average collection period
Average collection period = 365 / Account Receivables turnover ratio = 365 days /16.74 = 21.8 days
(g) Inventory turnover
Average Inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2 = ($148,680 + $136,290) / 2 = $142,485
Inventory Turnover = Cost of goods sold / average inventory = $1,207,000 / $142,485 = 8.47 times
(h) Days in inventory
Days in inventory = 365/ inventory turnover ratio = 365 days / 8.47 = 43.09 days
(i) Times interest earned
Times Interest Earned = Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization / Interest expenses = Income from operations / Interest expenses = $381,400 / $25,960 = 14.69 times
(j) Asset turnover
Asset turnover = Net sales / Average total assets = 2,178,400 / $1,109,023 = 1.96 times
(k) Debt to assets ratio
Debt to Asset Ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets = $499,730 / $1,211,742 = 0.4124, or 41.24%
(l) Free cash flow
Free cash flow = Net cash provided by operating activities - Capital expenditures - Cash dividends = $259,600- $160,480 - $74,168 = $24,952
Flint Corporation is subject to a corporate income tax only in State X. The starting point in computing X taxable income is Federal taxable income which is $750,000.

A note payable was executed by Sterling Inc. to Miami Finance Company. Sterling Inc. used $768,000 of its accounts receivable as collateral for the loan. The contract provided that Miami would advance 85% of the gross amount of the receivables. Sterling Inc. continues to collect payments for the receivables and the cash from customers is then remitted to the finance company. The cash remitted is first applied to the finance charges, with the remainder applied to principal.
During the first month, customers owing $524,800 paid cash, less sales returns and allowances of $20,480, originally recorded as a refund liability. The finance charge at the end of the first month was $4,480. During the second month, the remaining receivables were collected in full, except for $5,120 off as uncollectible. Final settlement was effected with the finance company, including payment of an additional finance charge of $1,920.

Aliya and Samuel, managers from different departments at Finger Lakes Financial, are discussing the troubling behavior of an employee. Aliya says that it is the responsibility of high-level managers to take steps to prevent legal wrongdoing by punishing offenders. However, Samuel believes that every individual should take personal responsibility for his or her own behavior and that everyone needs to understand how to do the right thing. Samuel prefers a(n) ________ ethics program.
Answer:
Ethics Program
Samuel prefers a(n) ________ ethics program.
personal (individual) ethics program.
Explanation:
But such a personal ethics program cannot work in an organization. An organization is made up of persons from different backgrounds and orientations with differing work and personal ethics. An organizational ethics program cannot succeed by being dependent on personal scruples, as being suggested by Samuel. Every organization requires a company-wide ethics program that is equally applicable to all persons in the organization. The tone of such ethics program should be set at the top of the organization's hierarchy.

g Sunk costs are: Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answer button. Answer choices extra costs associated with one more unit of something. financial costs any costs associated with making the decision to do something instead of doing the next best alternative. costs that have been incurred and cannot be reversed
Answer:
costs that have been incurred and cannot be reversed.
Explanation:
Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered. Thus, because a sunk cost has been incurred by an individual or organization it can't be recovered and as such it is irrelevant in the decision-making process such as investments, projects etc.
Basically, sunk costs are referred to as fixed costs.
Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.
Hence, sunk costs are costs that have been incurred and cannot be reversed.
For example, ABC investors decide to acquire land and develop residential houses at a location X. This decision is informed on the fact that the government had recently enacted a policy that led to an increase in demand for residential properties in that location. 6 months into construction of the residential houses, the government reviews and rescinds the policy. This leads to a sharp decline in property values in location X. ABC investors had already incurred 10 million dollars in the project. The 10 million dollars is considered sunk cost.
The Bassos contracted with Dierberg to purchase her property for $1,310,000. One term of the contract stated, "[t]he sale under this contract shall be closed . . . at the office of Community Title Company. . . on May 16, 1988 at 10:00 am. . . . Time is of the essence of this contract." After forming the contract, the Bassos assigned their right to purchase Dierberg’s property to Miceli and Slonim Development Corp. At 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, Dierberg appeared at Community Title for closing. No representative of Miceli and Slonim was there, nor did anyone from Miceli and Slonim inform Dierberg that there would be any delay in the closing. At 10:20 am, Dierberg declared the contract null and void because the closing did not take place as agreed, and she left the title company office shortly thereafter. Dierberg had intended to use the purchase money to close another contract to purchase real estate later in the day. At about 10:30 AM, a representative of Miceli and Slonim appeared at Community Title to begin the closing, but the representative did not have the funds for payment until 1 :30 PM. Dierberg refused to return to the title company, stating that Miceli and Slonim had breached the contract by failing to tender payment on time. She had already made alternative arrangements to finance her purchase of other real estate to meet her obligation under that contract. Miceli and Slonim sued Dierberg, claiming that the contract did not require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, but rather some time on the day of May 16. Will they prevail?
Answer:
Certainly, they cannot prevail. The contract terms stated clearly that "time is of the essence of this contract." The Bassos and Miceli and Slonim Development Corp did not actually respect this contract term.
The contract was expected to have closed at 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, and not after. By the time that Dierberg left the venue, the contract should have been finalized. Alternatively, if there were unseen delays, Dierberg should have been informed at least 30 minutes before 10:00 am.
Explanation:
The argument by Miceli and Slonim does not hold water. The contract did require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, and not some time on May 16. In my considered opinion, suing Dierberg is a waste of court time and process.
etaline Corp. uses the weighted average method for inventory costs and had the following information available for the year. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the year: Beginning Work in Process (40% complete, $1,100) 200 units Ending inventory of Work in Process (80% complete) 400 units Total units started during the year 3,200 units
Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 3,520
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Ending inventory of Work in Process (80% complete) 400 units
Total units started during the year 3,200 units
To calculate the equivalent units using the weighted-average method, we need to use the following formula:
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= 3,200 + (400*0.8)
Equivalent units of production= 3,520

Through the partnership, the importance of the penis is increased
[tex]w = 0.01 a^x[/tex]
In which an element is gradual and x the year is no.
For [tex]2015 x = 2015 - 1909 = 106[/tex], and at that time [tex]w = 3200[/tex]
thus
[tex]3200 = 0.01 a^{106}\\\\320000 = a^{106}\\\\\ln(320000) = 106 \ln(a)\\\\12.67 = 106 \ln(a)[/tex]
[tex]\ln (a) = 0.1196\\\\\to a = e^{0.1196} = 1.127[/tex]
[tex]15,000 = 0.01\times 1.127^x\\\\15,00,000 = 1.127^x[/tex]
[tex]\ln(15,00,000) = x \ln(1.127)\\\\[/tex]
[tex]6.17 = x\times 0.1196\\\\\to x = 51.58\\\\\to Year = 1909 + 51.58 = 1960.58[/tex]

Consider the economy of Citronia, where citizens consume only oranges. Assume that oranges cost $1 each, and each person can buy at most 5,000 oranges. The government has devised the following tax plans:
Plan A Plan B
Consumption up to 1,000 oranges is taxed at 20%. Consumption up to 2,000 oranges is taxed at 30%.
Consumption higher than 1,000 oranges is taxed at 80%. Consumption higher than 2,000 oranges is taxed at 10%.
Required:
Derive the marginal and average tax rates under each tax plan at the consumption levels of 500 oranges.
Explanation:
We are to find marginal tax and average tax rate at a consumption level of 500 oranges for plan A and plan B
Plan A
Consumption level = 500 oranges
Tax = 20%
Tax payable on this = 500 x 20% = 500 x 0.2 = 100
Marginal tax rate = 20 %
Average tax return = 100/500 = 0.2x100 = 20%
Plan B
At tax rate = 30%
Same consumption level
Tax payable = 500 x 30% = 500 x 0.3 = 150
Marginal tax rate = 30%
Average tax rate = 150/500 = 0.3 x 100 = 30%
List down three characteristic of project
Answer:
A single definable purpose, end-item or result. This is usually specified in terms of cost, schedule and performance requirements.
Every project is unique. It requires the doing of something different, something that was not done previously. Even in what are often called “routine” projects such as home construction, the variables such as terrain, access, zoning laws, labour market, public services and local utilities make each project different. A project is a one-time, once-off activity, never to be repeated exactly the same way again.
Projects are temporary activities. A project is an ad hoc organization of staff, material, equipment and facilities that is put together to accomplish a goal. This goal is within a specific time-frame. Once the goal is achieved, the organization created for it is disbanded or sometimes it is reconstituted to begin work on a new goal (project).

Discuss the tax consequences of the incorporation of the business to Cynthia and to Dove Corporation.
Answer:
Cynthia and Dove CorporationAny profits generated by Dove Corporation will be taxed to the corporation and also taxed to Cynthia as a shareholder whenever Dove distributes the profits as dividends. Taxing Dove and Cynthia creates a double taxation burden for both Dove and Cynthia. Dove Corporation does not get a tax deduction when it distributes dividends to Cynthia. Furthermore, Cynthia cannot deduct any corporation loss when incurred. These are unlike when the business was only a sole proprietorship.
