Answer: e. Laura is brand loyal to the brand of cereal she buys, but visits the same store out of inertia.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Laura often goes to the only grocery store across the street from her apartment building and buys the same brand of cereal every week even though the store sells several different brands of cereal.
The most likely reason for this is that Laura loves that particular brand of cereal she buys maybe due to its packaging, taste, quality etc. So, in this case she is brand loyal to that particular brand of cereal as she won't like to buy or consume any other brand apart from that but she visits the same store out of inertia as its the only store across the street from her apartment building
If there were other stores, she could have gone into them but will still purchase the same brand of cereal.
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
The supplies account has a balance of $1,200 at the beginning of the year and was debited during the year for $2,300, representing the total of supplies purchased during the year. If $650 of supplies are on hand at the end of the year, the supplies expense to be reported on the income statement for the year is Group of answer choices
Answer:
Supplies expense to be recorded = $2,850
Explanation:
Beginning account balance = $1,200
debit during the year = $2,300. This means that a transaction of $2,300 was used for supply purchase during the year
balance on hand = $650
difference between beginning and ending inventory = 1200 - 650 = $550
This means that an expense of $550 was carried out during the year.
Therefore, total expense during year = 550 + purchase expense
= 550 + 2300 = $2,580
Alternatively, the supply expense reported can be calculated with the formula:
Supplies expense = beginning inventory + supplies purchased - ending inventory
Supplies expense = 1200 + 2300 - 650 = $2,850
Based on the supplies opening balance, the supplies purchased and other details, the supplies expense must be $2,850
The supplies expense can be calculated as:
= Beginning balance + Supplies purchased - Closing balance
Solving would give:
= 1,200 + 2,300 - 650
= $2,850
In conclusion, the supplies expense in the income statement will be $2,850

The Viper retires a $49.4 million bond issue when the carrying value of the bonds is $53.1 million, but the market value of the bonds is $46.5 million. The entry to record the retirement will include: Multiple Choice A debit of $6.6 million to a loss account. No gain or loss on retirement. A credit to cash for $53.1 million. A credit of $6.6 million to a gain account.
Answer:
A debit of $6.6 million to a loss account
Explanation:
The entry to record the retirement Viper retires
Carrying value of the bonds $53.1 million
Less the market value of the bonds is $46.5 million
=$6.6 million loss
The answer is a debit of $6.6 million to a loss account because the carrying value of the bonds was $53.1 million while the market value of the bonds was $46.5 million which means we have to deduct the carrying value from the market value which gave us a loss of $6.6 million .
Production estimates for August are as follows:

For each unit produced, the direct materials requirements are as follows:
Direct material A ($5 per pound) 3Ibs
Direct material B ($15 per pound) 1/2 Ib
The number of pounds of matierials A and B required for August production are_____. The total direct materials purchases of materials A and B required for August production is:______.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production:
Estimated inventory (units), August 1 12,000
Desired inventory (units), August 31 2,000
Expected sales volume (units), August 75,000
For each unit produced, the direct materials requirements are as follows:
Direct material A ($5 per pound) 3Ibs
Direct material B ($15 per pound) 1/2 Ib
First, we need to determine the number of pounds required.
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 75,000 + 2,000 - 12,000= 65,000 units
Purchases in pounds:
Direct material A= 65,000*3= 195,000
Direct material B= 65,000*0.5= 32,500
Total pounds= 227,500
Now, the cost of direct material:
Direct material cost:
Direct material A= 195,000*5= $975,000
Direct material B= 32,500*15= $487,500
Total= $1,462,500

The company is using the _____ approach to make this ethical decision.
Answer:
Jaxon Furnishings Company Vs Logging Opportunities in Alaska
Comparison of the benefits of increased wood production to the costs of deforestation:
The company is using the __environmental sustainability___ approach to make this ethical decision.
Explanation:
According to brittanica.com, environmental "sustainability is understood as a form of intergenerational ethics in which the environmental and economic actions taken by present persons do not diminish the opportunities of future persons to enjoy similar levels of wealth, utility, or welfare."
An approach to an ethical decision is sustainable when it considers the long-term benefits and costs associated with the decision, instead of concentrating on the short-term benefits as some business transactions are done. Short-termism selfishly considers the immediate gains from a transaction. It lacks a futuristic appetite for the good of future generations.
An uninterruptible power system used in a small production facility at Acme Manufacturing has a basis of $56,000 and is expected to have $5750 salvage value after 125,000 hours of use. Calculate the depreciation rate per hour of use and the book value after 77,000 hours of operation.
Answer:
The depreciation rate per hour is 0.402
The Book value is $25,046
Explanation:
In order to calculate the depreciation rate per hour of use we would have to calculate the following:
depreciation rate per hour=(basis- salvage value)/hours of use
depreciation rate per hour=($56,000-$5750)/125,000
depreciation rate per hour=0.402
To calculate the book value we would have to make the following calculation:
Book value=basis-(depreciation rate per hour*77,000 hours of operation)
Book value=$56,000-(0.402*77,000)
Book value=$25,046

C. demanders can make strong moral or political arguments for lower prices. D. suppliers can make strong moral or political arguments for lower prices.
Answer:
C. Demanders can make strong moral or political arguments for lower prices.
Explanation:
This explained as a legal price limit set by the government on the sellers in a way to be a protection means to the buyers. This will general control some serial hike and outrageous price on some goods and services.
Its effects are of different types; firstly, price ceiling can create huge market efficiencies in a long run and also causes hoarding of products and springing up of black markets and other hook and crook forms of marketing and this is known to cause unrest in the supply side. When these keeps pulling on, it has a negative effect on the economy of the said nation.
Which of the following could be considered a cost driver? Select one: a. A service provided by an architecture firm b. A product produced by a manufacturer c. A tax return prepared by a local CPA firm d. All of the above
Answer: d. All of the above
Explanation:
A cost driver refers to the activity that causes an actual change in the cost of a transaction and by extension it's local cost.
For example, cost driver of labor would be the number of people working or cost driver of Electricity paid would be the actual number of units consumed.
In the above, the products and services mentioned are the integral activities for those firms so they are cost drivers to those firms.
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

Suppose that a landlord is interested in renting out a two-bedroom apartment for $1000 a month for the next year. The landlord requires rent to be paid at the beginning of the month, at which point he will deposit the rental check into a local savings account. If the annual interest that the tenant can earn on this account is 5% and interest is compounded monthly, how much will the tenant have in his savings account at the end of the year
Answer:
WHAT
Explanation:
On January 1, ABC sold $30,000 in products to a customer on account. Then on January 10, ABC collected the cash on that account. What is the impact on ABC's accounting equation from the collection of cash on January 10?
Answer:
Collection of Cash on January 10
The Impact on ABC's accounting equation:
The Assets (Cash) will increase by $30,000 and another type of Assets (Accounts Receivable) will decrease by $30,000.
The collection of cash on January 10 does not affect the other side of the accounting equation.
Explanation:
The accounting equation shows that for every transaction, the Assets will be equal to the Liabilities + Owners' Equity. The explanation is that the financial resources which an entity owns actually belong to either creditors or equity owners in the form of financial obligations (liabilities) or contributed capital plus some parts of the net income over the years which the entity has reinvested in its business.
The accounting equation is the fulcrum of the double-entry accounting system. On a company's balance sheet, the accounting equation shows that assets equal the sum of the company's liabilities and shareholders' equity.
The effect is A. more likely if inflation is unanticipated because workers would not seek higher nominal wages. B. more likely if inflation is unanticipated because workers would seek higher nominal wages. C. less likely if inflation is unanticipated because workers would not seek higher nominal wages. D. less likely if inflation is unanticipated because workers would seek higher nominal wages.
Answer:
more likely if inflation is unanticipated because workers would not seek higher nominal wages.
Explanation:
Here is the full question:
The effect of the sudden unanticipated spurt of inflation:
A. less likely if inflation is unanticipated because workers would not seek higher nominal wages.
B. less likely if inflation is unanticipated because workers would seek higher nominal wages.
C. more likely if inflation is unanticipated because workers would seek higher nominal wages.
D. more likely if inflation is unanticipated because workers would not seek higher nominal wages.
Inflation is a presistent rise in general price level.
Workers compensate for expected inflation by asking for an increase in nominal wages.
Nominal wages = real wages + inflation
If there's an unanticipated rise in inflation, workers would be at a disadvantage because their wages would most likely not reflect this unexpected rise in inflation.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer: A. more likely if inflation is unanticipated because workers would not seek higher nominal wages.
Explanation:
An Unanticipated Spurt in Inflation could lead to rapid Economic growth and this effect is more likely if it was unanticipated because workers would not seek higher nominal wages.
This is because if the workers do not expect prices to rise and hence do not negotiate better wages, the cost of Production for producers will remain the same even though profitability has increased due to the higher prices.
The producers will therefore produce more goods to take advantage of the situation which will further aid Economic growth.

Sue and Andrew form SA general partnership. Each person receives an equal interest in the newly created partnership. Sue contributes $18,000 of cash and land with an FMV of $63,000. Her basis in the land is $28,000. Andrew contributes equipment with an FMV of $20,000 and a building with an FMV of $41,000. His basis in the equipment is $16,000, and his basis in the building is $28,000. How much gain must the SA general partnership recognize on the transfer of these assets from Sue and Andrew
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Given that
Sue contributed amount = $18,000
FMV of land = $63,000
Basis in land = $28,000
Andrew contributed amount = $20,000
FMV of Building = $41,000
Basis in equipment = $16,000
Basis in building = $28,000
Based on the above information, the gain that would be recognized is $0 as Partnerships recognize no gain on receiving contributed valued property. At the disposal of the asset, the constructed-in benefit or constructed-in loss will be revealed. For this, the partnership basis property i.e being acquired should be based on a carryover basis.

Alpha and Beta are partners who share income in the ratio of 1:2 and have capital balances of $42,600 and $88,200, respectively, at the time they decide to terminate the partnership. After all noncash assets are sold and all liabilities are paid, there is a cash balance of $77,700. What amount of loss on realization should be allocated to Alpha
Answer:
The amount of loss to Alpha is $17700.
Explanation:
Given income sharing ratio = 1:2
The capital balance of Alpha = $42600
The capital balance of Beta = $88200
Total capital balance (Alpha + Beta) [tex]= $42600 + $88200 = $130800[/tex]
The cash balance available = $77700
Loss = 130800 – 77700 = $ 53100
The share of loss allocated to Alpha:
[tex]= 53100 \times \frac{1}{3} \\= $17700[/tex]
Therefore, the amount of loss to Alpha is $17700.
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
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.

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
Eberley Corporation's cost formula for its manufacturing overhead is $25,700 per month plus $10 per machine-hour. For the month of July, the company planned for activity of 5,900 machine-hours, but the actual level of activity was 5,920 machine-hours. The actual manufacturing overhead for the month was $86,800. The manufacturing overhead in the planning budget for July would be closest to:
Answer:
$84,700
Explanation:
The computation of manufacturing overhead in the planning budget for July is shown below:-
Manufacturing overhead in the planning budget = Manufacturing overhead per month + Budgeted hours × Budgeted rate
= $25,700 + 5,900 × $10
= $25,700 + $59,000
= $84,700
Therefore for computing the manufacturing overhead in the planning budget for July we simply applied the above formula.

( 90,000 shares x $6 par value per share)
Cr Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value $360,000
($900,000 -$540,000)
Explanation:
Since Lowland, Inc. converted its $900,000 par value bonds and carrying value also $900,000) into 90,000 shares of $6 par value common stock which means we have to Debit Bonds Payable with $900,000 and Credit Common Stock with $540,000 which is
( 90,000 shares x $6 par value per share) , then Credit Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value for $360,000 which is ( value of bonds converted of $900,000 - par value of shares of common stock issued of $540,000).
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.
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?

(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.) b. What are the company’s capital structure weights on a market value basis? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)
Answer:
Book value weight of equity is 0.2007
Book value weight of debt is 0.7993
Market value weight of equity is 0.6883
Market value weight of debt is 0.3117
Explanation:
The book value of the two bonds=$115 million+$100 million=$215 million
The book value of equity =6 million *$9=$54 million
weight of debt=$215/($215+$54)= 0.7993
weight of equity=$54/($215+$54)= 0.2007
Market value approach:
market value of equity=6 million*$78=$468 million
market of the first bond=$115 million*93%=$106.95 million
market value of the second bond=$100 million*105%=$105 million
total market value of bonds=$106.95 million+$105 million=$ 211.95 million
weight of debt=$211.95/($211.95+$468 )= 0.3117
weight of equity=$468/($211.95+$468 )= 0.6883
Assume that the cost of money is 10% per year. The initial cost of a small personal aircraft is $35,000, the annual repair and maintenance cost is $20,000 and the salvage value is $10,000. The aircraft is kept for 2 years. The present worth of the aircraft is :__________
Answer:
The present worth of aircraft = $29137.82
Explanation:
Given the cost of money (r ) = 10%
The initial cost of small aircraft = $35000
Annual repair and maintenance costs (A) = $20000
Salvage valaue = $10000
Now calculate the present value of aircraft by adding the initial cost of annual maintenance and salvage value and subtracting the initial cost.
[tex]Present worth = initial cost + \frac{A[1-(1+r)^{-n}]}{r} - \frac{Salvage \ value}{(1 + r)^{n}} \\= 35000 + \frac{20000 [1 – (1+ 0.01)^{-2}]}{0.01} - \frac{10000}{(1 + 0.01)^{2}} \\= $29137.82[/tex]
