Answer:
D. Advertise on radio and earn $14,000
Explanation:
Dominant strategy is the strategy that will still be better than the strategy of a competitor regardless of whatever that competitor does.
We are told that both Juan Pablo and Zak follow their dominant strategy. From the question, the dominant strategy is when they both advertise on radio because they each get a profit of $14,000 compared to $8000 when they both advertise on radio. So when they both advertise on TV is more lucrative and therefore it's the dominant strategy for both of them. Therefore, in conclusion, I will advise Jan Pablo should advertise on radio and earn a profit of $14000 as his dominant strategy
The management of Bonita Inc. was discussing whether certain equipment should be written off as a charge to current operations because of obsolescence. This equipment has a cost of $981,000 with depreciation to date of $436,000 as of December 31, 2020. On December 31, 2020, management projected its future net cash flows from this equipment to be $327,000 and its fair value to be $250,700. The company intends to use this equipment in the future.

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.

Explanation:
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
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%)
The Green Fiddle has declared a $5 per share dividend. Suppose capital gains are not taxed, but dividends are taxed at 15 percent. New IRS regulations require that taxes be withheld at the time the dividend is paid. Green Fiddle stock sells for $71.50 per share, and the stock is about to go ex-dividend. What will be the ex-dividend price
Answer: $67.25
Explanation:
We should note that in a scenario whereby the stock goes ex-dividend, there'll be a reduction in the stock price. This can be calculated as:
Dividend = $5
Dividend after tax = $5 × (1 - tax rate)
= $5 × (1 - 15%)
= $5 × (1 - 0.15)
= $5 × 0.85
= $4.25
Then, the ex dividend price will then be:
= $71.50 - $4.25
= $67.25

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
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.

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.
Suppose that Verania and Josimar are roommates that need to complete some household chores. Vacuuming and washing dishes need to be done. They know from the last time they did these chores that it takes Verania 2 hours to vacuum and 1 hour to wash dishes. It takes Josimar 3 hours to vacuum and 2 hours to wash dishes. Josimar says it does not matter which task each of them performs because Verania is faster at both tasks.
Josimar’s reasoning
a. is wrong. Because Verania has a comparative advantage in washing dishes, she should wash dishes, and Josimar should vacuum.
b. is correct. Because Verania is faster at both tasks, there is no benefit in each volunteer specializing in one task or the other.
c. is wrong. Because Verania has an absolute advantage in both tasks, she should perform both tasks herself.
d. is wrong. Because Josimar has a comparative advantage in washing dishes, he should wash dishes, and Verania should vacuum.
Answer: a. is wrong. Because Verania has a comparative advantage in washing dishes, she should wash dishes, and Josimar should vacuum.
Explanation:
Having absolute advantage in both things does not mean that Verania has a Comparative advantage in both as well.
They should find out which activity they both have a comparative advantage in and focus on that. The activity that costs the least opportunity cost is the one they have a comparative advantage in.
Verania
Opportunity cost of vacuuming = 2 / 1 = 2 hours of washing dishes
Opportunity cost of washing = 1/2 = 0.5 hours of vacuuming
Josimar
Opportunity cost of vacuuming = 3/2 = 1.5 hours of washing dishes
Opportunity cost of washing = 2/3 = 0.66 hours of vacuuming
Verania has a comparative advantage in washing dishes while Josimar has a comparative advantage in vacuuming.
Determine whether each procedure described below is an internal control strength or weakness; then identify the internal control violated or followed for each procedure.
a. The same employee requests, records, and makes payment for purchases of inventory.
b. The company saves money by having employees involved in operations perform the only review of internal controls.
c. Time is saved by not updating records for use of supplies.
d. The recordkeeper is not allowed to write checks or initiate EFTs.
e. Each salesclerk is in charge of their own cash drawer.
Answer:
a. Weakness ⇒ Divide responsibility for related transactions.
This is a weakness because there is a chance of fraud occurring if the employee has all that responsibility. It is best to divide responsibilities for related transactions.
b. Weakness ⇒ Perform regular and independent reviews.
This is also a weakness because independent reviews are important for an objective opinion. These reviews should be regular as well.
c. Weakness ⇒ Maintain Adequate Records.
This is a weakness because records need to be updated to remain relevant and adequate.
d. Strength ⇒ Separate record-keeping from custody of assets.
The company is following the right procedure in doing this because it shows that they are separating record-keeping from those who can initiate transactions and have custody of assets.
e. Strength ⇒ Establish Responsibilities.
This is also a strength because it establishes responsibility such that only the salesclerk can access their cash drawers and can thus are responsible for it such that anything missing can be successfully tracked.
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
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

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

Harry and Garry are twin brothers, and they each own appliance stores. Harry lives in Charleston, South Carolina and Garry lives in Gainesville, Florida. Even though they live far apart, they talk often, and trade hints and grievances about the appliance retail business. Lately, they have been discussing the fact that in a tough economy consumers often hold off on the upgrade of an appliance as long as possible, deciding that they will wait to "trade up" when economy turns around or the appliance breaks, whichever comes first. The brothers are discussing the wisdom of instituting short-term rebates in order to make their appliances more attractive to consumers, and to increase their rather dismal recent sales figures. Unbeknownst to each other, both Harry and Garry decide to institute a retail-level rebate on a specific high-end stove. The prices of the stove are $800 and $1,000 in Harry’s and Garry’s store, respectively. Both Harry and Garry’s rebate offers will be advertised in the Sunday paper, and will last one week. Neither Harry nor Garry has done the research necessary to discover the Just Noticeable Difference (which, for the target market and that product category in that economic climate, is 15%). Harry offers consumers a $100 rebate on the $800 stove. Garry offers consumers a $180 rebate on the $1,000 stove. Harry sells 20 stoves during the rebate period, which is about the same number that he sold the week just prior to the rebate offer. Garry sells 30 stoves during the rebate period, which is an increase of about 10 more than he sold the week just prior to the rebate offer.
Required:
a. Did the fact that he didn’t know the accurate Just Noticeable Difference cost Harry any Money
b. Did the fact that he didn’t know the accurate Just Noticeable Difference cost Garry any Money
Answer:
a. Noticeable difference is 15%
Explanation:
Just noticeable difference is 15% which is calculated as :
Original price of the stove $1,000 *15% = $150
The rebate amount should be $150 or more in order to be effective.
The demand equation for the stove is
P = a - bQ
For Harry
P = $700 and Q = 20
b = change in price / Change in quantity
a = P + bQ
a = 900 + 100 * 20
a = 2,900
This is the point where demand will be zero.
For Garry
P = $820 and Q = 30
b = change in price / Change in quantity
a = P + bQ
a = 820 + 82 * 10
a = 1,640
This is the point where demand will be zero.

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
Your cousin has asked you to bankroll his proposed business painting houses in the summer. He plans to operate the business for 5 years to pay his way through college. He needs $15000 to purchase an old pickup truck, some ladders, a paint sprayer and some other equipment. He is promising to pay you $4500 at the end of each summer for 5 years. Calculate the annual rate of return.
Answer:
the annual rate of return is 15.24%
Explanation:
The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:
Given that
NPER = 5
PV = -$15,000

The formula is shown below:
= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)
AFter applying the above formula, the annual rate of return is 15.24%
Demand for fasteners at W.W. Grainger is 20,000 boxes per month. Holding cost at Grainger is 20 percent per year. Each order incurs a fixed cost of $400. The supplier offers an all unit discount pricing scheme with a price of $5 per box for orders under 30,000 and a price of $4.90 for all orders of 30,000 or more. How many boxes should Grainger order per replenishment
Solution :
Given :
The annual demand, D = [tex]$200000 \times 12$[/tex]
= 240,000
The ordering cost, S = $ 400
Holding cost, H = 20 percent per year
The EOQ for each year,
[tex]$EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}}$[/tex]
Under 30000, the cost = 5, Holding cost = 5 x 0.2 = 0
[tex]$EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 240000 \times 400}{1}}$[/tex]
= 13856.41
= 13856 (approx.)
It is feasible as it is not with in range of 30000 or more.
So calculating total cost at order quantity, Q = 13856 and 30000
Therefore total cost = purchase cost + annual ordering cost + annual holding cost.
[tex]$=(CD)+\frac{Q}{2}H+\frac{D}{Q}S$[/tex]
Q = 13856
Total cost = [tex]$(5\times 240000)+(\frac{240000}{13856})\times 400+(\frac{12856}{2})\times 1$[/tex]
= 1213856
Q = 30000
Total cost = [tex]$(4.9\times 240000)+(\frac{240000}{30000})\times 400+(\frac{30000}{2})\times 0.98= 1193900$[/tex]
Total cost is less than Q = 30000
Order quantity = 30000 boxes
Eastern Motors Auto Dealership wanted to estimate the average CLV over a 5 year time horizon of a customer who purchases a new vehicle. The average vehicle sells for $23,700 and has a margin of 11%. Based on historical averages, 78% of people buying a new vehicle at Eastern will return for service 10 times over the next 5 years. Though it varies considerably, Eastern generates approximately $103 in margin on each service visit after accounting for parts and direct labor costs.
Required:
What is the total estimated CLV over a 5 year time horizon for someone who purchases a new vehicle at Eastern Motors?
Answer:
The total estimated CLV over a 5 year time horizon for someone who purchases a new vehicle at Eastern Motors is $3,410.40.
Explanation:
Margin on selling vehicle = Average vehicle selling price * Margin = $23,700 * 11% = $2,607
Margin generated by 78% of people who return for service over 5 years = Number of times * Margin generated on each service = 10 * $103 = $1,030
Total estimated customer lifetime value (CLV) = Margin on selling vehicle + (Margin generated by 78% of people who return for service over 5 years * 78%) + (Margin generated by 226% of people who do not return for service over 5 years * 22%) = $2,607 + ($1,030 * 78%) + ($0 * 22%) = $3,410.40
Therefore, the total estimated CLV over a 5 year time horizon for someone who purchases a new vehicle at Eastern Motors is $3,410.40.

Mogul Company ships merchandise to Ski Outfit in a consignment arrangement. The arrangement specifies that Ski Outfit will attempt to sell the merchandise, and in return, Mogul will pay to Ski Outfit a 15% sales commission on any merchandise sold. During the year, Mogul ships inventory with a cost of $130,000 to Ski Outfit. By the end of the year, $100,000 of the merchandise has been sold to customers for a total of $137,000. What amount of inventory will Mogul report at year end
Answer:
The amount of inventory Mogul will report at year end is $30,000.
Explanation:
The amount of inventory Mogul will report at year end can be calculated as follows:
Costs of goods available for sale = Costs of inventory shipped by Mogul = $130,000
Cost of goods sold = $100,000
Inventory at year end = Costs of goods available for sale - Cost of goods sold = $130,000 - $100,000 = $30,000
Therefore, the amount of inventory Mogul will report at year end is $30,000.
