Bolton Tire Manufacturing and the union came to an impasse during negotiation of the collective bargaining agreement. Specifically, they could not agree on the wage increase for the employees. The union representative reported this information to the employees, and they staged a strike without the union's authorization.
A. The employees have engaged in an unfair labor practice strike.
B. The employees have engaged in an economic strike.
C. The employees have engaged in a sitdown strike.
D. None of the choices are correct.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: the employees have engaged in an unfair labor practice strike.
Explanation:
To begin with, due to the fact that the union was already establishing the area for the negotiation and they might have planeed obviously to keep trying to increase the situation in their favour then the action taken by the employees was a bit hurry and was obvious that was not thought very well with calm minds and therefore that they engaged in an unfair labor practice strike because they had to be patience and wait for the union to improve the situation for them, because their are the representatives and if the company sees that the workers do not obey to the representatives then the union will lose negotiation power and the situation will get worse for them.
sadik inch's bonds currently sell for $1,300 and have a par value of $1,000. They pay a $105 annual coupon and have a 15-year maturity, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,100. What is their yield to call
Answer:
5.31%
Explanation:
For computing the yield to call we need to use the RATE formula i.e shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $1,300
Future value or Face value = $1,100
PMT = 105
NPER = 5 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the yield to call is 5.31%
Suppose that in the rice market demand shifts greatly due to a new rice diet that is being marketed heavily in the U.S. as a cure for cancer. Simultaneously the supply curve shifts slightly due to a healthy rainy season that positively affects the rice crop in California. What is the most likely outcome in this situation?
Answer:
the equilibrium price increases, albeit by a negligible amount
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
the supply curve will shift again after demand meets supply
the equilibrium price increases
the equilibrium price increases, albeit by a negligible amount
the demand curve will shift back to its original level
The new rice diet that is being marketed heavily in the U.S. as a cure for cancer would increase the demand for rice. This would shift the demand curve rightward. This shift of the demand curve would increase demand and price
The hw healthy rainy season that positively affects the rice crop in California woild increase the supply of rice and as a result the supply curve would shift to the right. The rightward shift of the supply curve would cause quantity to rise and price to fall.
This combined effect would lead to a rise in quantity and a rise in price by only a negligible amount.

Answer:
direct labor= $80,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
In May direct labor was 40% of conversion cost. The manufacturing overhead for the month was $120,600.
The conversion costs are the sum of direct labor and manufacturing overhead.
Conversion costs= 120,600/0.6= 201,000
direct labor= 210,000*0.4= 80,400
Cotton On Ltd. currently has the following capital structure: Debt: $3,500,000 par value of outstanding bond that pays annually 10% coupon rate with an annual before-tax yield to maturity of 12%. The bond issue has face value of $1,000 and will mature in 20 years.
Answer and Explanation:
This question is incomplete. Kindly find the incomplete question here
Ordinary shares: $5,500,000 book value of outstanding ordinary shares. Nominal value of each share is $100. The firm plan just paid a $8.50 dividend per share. The firm is maintaining 4% annual growth rate in dividends, which is expected to continue indefinitely.
Preferred shares: 45,000 outstanding preferred shares with face value of $100, paying fixed dividend rate of 12%
The firm's marginal tax rate is 30%.
Required:
a) Calculate the current price of the corporate bond?
b)Calculate the current price of the ordinary share if the average return of the shares in the same industry is 9%?
c) Calculate the current price of the preferred share if the average return of the shares in the same industry is 10%
The computation is shown below:
a. For the current price of the corporate bond
Before that first we have to determine the after tax yield to maturity i.e
After tax YTM = Before tax YTM × (1 - tax rate)
= 12% × ( 1 - 30%)
= 12% × (1 - 0.3)
= 12% × (0.7)
= 8.4%
Now
Price of bond = Interest × PVIFA(YTM%,n) + Redemption value × PVIF(YTM%,n)
Interest = 1000 × 10% = $100
YTM% = 8.4%
n = 20
PVIFA(YTM%,n) = [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + r)^n ÷ r ]
PVIFA(8.4%,20) = [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + 8.4%)^20 ÷ 8.4%]
= [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + 0.084)^20 ÷ 0.084]
= [1-(1 ÷ (1.084)^20 ÷ 0.084]
= [1 - 0.1993 ÷ 0.084]
= 0.8007 ÷ 0.084
= 9.5327
PVIF(8.4%,20) = 1 ÷ (1 + 8.4%)^20
= 1 ÷ (1.084)^20
= 0.19926
So, the price of bond is
= $100 × 9.5327 + $1000 × 0.19926
= $953.27 + $199.26
= $1,152.52
b)Price of stock = Dividend of next year ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate )
where,
Growth rate = 4%
Required rate of return = 9%
The Dividend of next year = Dividend paid × (1 + growth rate)
= 8.50 × (1 + 4%)
= 8.50 × (1 + 0.04)
= 8.50 × (1.04)
= $8.84
Thus the price of the stock is
= $8.84 ÷ (9% - 4%)
= $8.84 ÷ 5%
= $176.80
c) Price of preference shares is
= Dividend ÷ Required rate of return
where,
Dividend = 100 × 12% = $12
And, the Required rate of return = 10%
So, the price of preference shares is
= 12 ÷ 10%
= $120
Hall Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Data concerning the first processing department for the most recent month are listed below:
Beginning work in process inventory:
Units in beginning work in process inventory 1,000
Materials costs $7,100
Conversion costs $6,400
Percent complete with respect to materials 65%
Percent complete with respect to conversion 30%
Units started into production during the month 13,600
Units transferred to the next department during the month 12,300
Materials costs added during the month $137,224
Conversion costs added during the month $215,050
Ending work in process inventory:
Units in ending work in process inventory 2,300
Percent complete with respect to materials 60%
Percent complete with respect to conversion 25%
The total cost transferred from the first processing department to the next processing department during the month is closest to:______
a. $356,256
b. $380,435
c. $341,325
d. $349,856
Answer:
c. $341,325
Explanation:
First determine the Equivalent Units of Production
Materials
Units completed and transferred (12,300 × 100%) = 12,300
Units in Ending Work In Process Inventory ( 2,300 ×60%) = 1,380
Equivalent Units of Production = 13,680
Conversion
Units completed and transferred (12,300 × 100%) = 12,300
Units in Ending Work In Process Inventory ( 2,300 ×25%) = 575
Equivalent Units of Production = 12,875
Next Determine the Total Cost Incurred during the period
Materials
Cost in Units of Opening Work In Process = $7,100
Incurred during the period = $137,224
Total Cost = $144,324
Conversion
Cost in Units of Opening Work In Process = $6,400
Incurred during the period = $215,050
Total Cost = $221,450
Then Determine the Total Cost per Equivalent unit of Production
Cost per Equivalent unit = Total Cost / Total Equivalent Units
Materials = $144,324 / 13,680
= $10.54
Conversion = $221,450 / 12,875
= $17.20
Total = $10.54 + $17.20 = $27.74
Finally calculate total cost transferred from the first processing department to the next processing department
total cost transferred = Units transferred × Total cost per equivalent unit of production.
= 12,300 × $27.74
= $341,202
Conclusion :
The total cost transferred from the first processing department to the next processing department during the month is closest to $341,325
The fair values of all of Sirius's assets and liabilities were equal to their book values except for inventory that had a fair value of $85,000, land that had a fair value of $60,000, and buildings and equipment that had a fair value of $250,000.

On January 1, 20X6, Plus Corporation acquired 90 percent of Side Corporation for $180,000 cash. Side reported net income of $30,000 and dividends of $10,000 for 20X6, 20X7, and 20X8. On January 1, 20X6, Side reported common stock outstanding of $100,000 and retained earnings of $60,000, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $20,000. It held land with a book value of $30,000 and a market value of $35,000 and equipment with a book value of $50,000 and a market value of $60,000 at the date of combination. The remainder of the differential at acquisition was attributable to an increase in the value of patents, which had a remaining useful life of five years. All depreciable assets held by Side at the date of acquisition had a remaining economic life of five years. Plus uses the equity method in accounting for its investment in Side. Based on the preceding information, the increase in the fair value of patents held by Side is:
Answer:
$25,000
Explanation:
Plus corporation acquired 90% of Side Corporation for $180,000 cash.
Net income = $30,000
Dividend for 3 years = $10,000
Common stock outstanding = $100,000
Retained earnings = $60,000
Fair value = $20,000
Book value of land = $30,000
Market value of land = $35,000
Book value of equipment = $50,000
Market value of equipment = $60,000
Required:
Find the increase in the fair value of patents held by Side Corporation.
To find the increase in the fair value of patents, use:
Increase in fair value = Fair value of corporation - Total value without patent.
Where
Fair value = $180,000 + $20,000 = $200,000
Total value without patent = common stoc(100,000) + retained earnings(60,000) + equipment adjustment($60,000 - $50,000 = $10,000) + land adjustment($35,000 - $30,000= $5,000) =
$100,000 + $60,000 + $10,000 + $5,000 = $175,000
Therefore,
Increase = Fair value of corporation($200,000) - Total value without patent($175,000) = $25,000
The increase in the fair value of patents held by Side Corporation is $25,000

Jacksonville, Florida, to Atlanta, Georgia by writing to them within 60 days regarding her change in residency.
A company applies overhead at a rate of 150% of direct labor cost. Actual overhead cost for the current period is $1,150,000, and direct labor cost is $565,000. Determine whether there is over- or underapplied overhead using the T-account below. Factory OverheadActual Overhead 950,000 Overapplied overhead 950,000
Answer:
Under applied overheads= $302,500
Explanation:
Overheads are charged to units produced by the means of an estimated overhead absorption rate. This rate is computed using budgeted overhead and budgeted activity level.
As a result of this, overhead charged to total units product might be over or under absorbed compared to the actual amount incurred.
Overhead absorption rate
=budgeted Overhead/Budgeted labour cost × 100
This already given in the question as 150% of the direct labour rate
= 150% of direct labour cost
Applied overhead= OAR× actual labour cost
= 150% × $565,000=$847,500
Under applied overhead = is the difference between actual overhead and applied overhead
$1,150,000 - $847,500 = $302,500
Under applied overheads= $302,500
Here it is under applied because the applied is less than the actual overhead cost

Answer: C $9,400,000 E $600,000; B $10,000,000
Explanation:
The Company Issued bonds worth $10,000,000 but only received $9,400,000 in cash.
This means that they issued the Bonds at a discount. With the discount being the difference between how much was issued and how much was received.
This discount will be sent to the Discount on Bonds Payable account.
The Cash received of $9,400,000 will be sent to the cash account.
The company will still have to pay the entire figure of $10,000,000 in bonds so the full amount will go to the Bonds Payable account.
The Journal Entry is thus,
DR Cash $9,400,000
DR Discount on Bonds Payable $600,000
CR Bonds Payable $10,000,000
Indicate whether each of the statements below about a perfectly competitive market is true or false. a. In general, the market demand curve in a perfectly competitive market is perfectly elastic. False True b. In general, an individual firm in a perfectly competitive market faces a perfectly elastic demand curve. True False c. An individual firm in a perfectly competitive market can obtain a higher price for its product by reducing output. True False d. An individual firm in a perfectly competitive market must lower its price to sell more of its product. True False f. In a perfectly competitive market, average revenue is equal to the market price. False True e. In a perfectly competitive market, marginal revenue is equal to the market price. False True
Answer:
A. False
B. True
C. False
D. False
E. True
F. True
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
If a seller increases her price, her demand would fall to zero because customers woild patronize other suppliers. Also, there is no incentive to reduce price because the firm would be making a loss. This is the reason why the firm's demand curve is perfectly elastic, the firm can only sell at one price. This price is set by the market forces.
The market's demand curve is downward sloping
Price = average revenue = Marginal revenue
I hope my answer helps you
In general, the market demand curve in a perfectly competitive market is perfectly elastic.

[tex] = (C * (\frac{1 - (\frac{1}{(1+0.06)^2^0})}{0.06}) + (\frac{1000}{(1+0.06)^2^0}) [/tex]
[tex] = 541.20 [/tex]
Bond price = $541.20
Find number of bonds:
Number of bonds [tex] = \frac{10,000,000}{1,000} = 10,000[/tex]
Now, to find the current market value of the firm's debt, use:
Current market value of debt = number of bonds × bond price
= 10,000 × 541.20
= $5,412,000
Current market value of the firm's debt = $5,412,000

Suppose that Boeing and Rolls-Royce Holdings are the sole producers of a particular turbo engine. The two firms currently charge the same price for their products. If neither firm reduces the price of its turbo engine, each firm earns $50 million in profit. If both firms reduce their prices, then each firm will earn $10 million in profit. If one firm reduces its price and the other does not, then the firm that reduces price will earn a profit of $70 million while the other firm will earn a profit of $5 million. If the firms can operate as a cartel, what will they do
Answer:
The two firms will manipulate the market in unison, to maintain the same price, which guarantees the optimum benefit for both firms, as opposed to if one or both of them reduces its price.
Explanation:
A cartel is a group of independent market participants that collude with each other in order to improve their profits and dominate the market. Cartels are usually in the same line of business, and they form a type of alliance as competitors. Cartel use price fixing, bid rigging, and reductions in output, to dominate the market and to maximize their profit. They are usually frowned upon in a free market system.
In this case, if the the two firms Boeing and Rolls-Royce operates as a cartel, they will bend the market rules by fixing their prices, instead of letting market drivers like demand and supply to determine their selling price, they might also reduce their output so that they both have the same level of output, or do any other form of manipulation in unison to maintain the same price. This is because both companies will benefit equally if they maintain the same price, as opposed to if one or both of them reduces price.

Deborah Lewis, general manager of the Northwest Division of Berkshire Co., has significant authority over pricing decisions as well as programs that involve cost reduction/control. The data that follow relate to upcoming divisional operations:
Average invested capital: $15,000,000
Annual total fixed costs: $3,900,000
Variable cost per unit: $80
Number of units expected to be sold: 120,000
Assume the unit selling price is $132 and that Berkshire has a 16% imputed interest charge.
Top management will promote Deborah to corporate headquarters if her division can generate $200,000 of residual income (RI). If Deborah desires to move to corporate, what adjustment must the division do to the amount of annual total fixed costs?
Answer:
The revised fixed costs = $3,640,000
Explanation:
Calculation of Residual Income:
Residual Income = Net income - (Invested capital * Minimum required rate of return)
Net Income = Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
Net Income = (120,000*132) - (120,000*80) - 3,900,000
Net Income = $2,340,000
Invested capital = $15,000,000
Minimum required rate of return = 16%
Therefore, residual income = $2,340,000 - ($15,000,000 * 16%)
= -$60,000
Hence, adjustment to be made to the amount of fixed costs so that residual income becomes $200,000 = $200,000+$60,000 = $260,000
Therefore, revised fixed costs = $3,900,000 - $260,000 = $3,640,000
When we express the value of a cash flow or series of cash flows in terms of dollars today, we call it the ________ of the investment. If we express it in terms of dollars in the future, we call it the

Future value is the value of cashflows discounted at interest rate at arrive at its value at some given time in the future.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
Present value, future value
Explanation:
Cash flows can be expressed in present value or as future value. The present value of cash flows is the current value of cash.
Future value is the projected value of money at some point in the future. The future value of money is usually higher than the present value.
For example $1 in the present will appreciate in value over the next 5 years to a higher value of let's say $1.50. The $1 is the present value while $1.50 is the future value
Duff Inc. paid a 2.69 dollar dividend today. If the dividend is expected to grow at a constant 3 percent rate and the required rate of return is 5 percent, what would you expect Duff's stock price to be 4 years from now?
Answer:
$155.92
Explanation:
Div₀ = $2.69
Div₁ = $2.7707
Div₂ = $2.8538
Div₃ = $2.9394
Div₄ = $3.0276
Div₅ = $3.1184
we need to calculate the stocks terminal value in year 4, and to do that we will use Div₅ and the growing perpetuity formula:
stock price = $3.1184 / (5% - 3%) = $155.92
if we wanted to calculate the current stock price we would use Div₁ in the same formula.
Kansas Company acquired a building valued at $151,000 for property tax purposes in exchange for 12,000 shares of its $3 par common stock. The stock is widely traded and selling for $18 per share. At what amount should the building be recorded by Kansas Company
Answer:
The building would be recorded by Kansas Company for an amount of $216,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount should the building be recorded by Kansas Company we would have to calculate the value of the building with the following formula:
value of the building= shares exchanged*Market value per share
shares exchanged=12,000 shares
Market value per share=$18
Therefore, value of the building=12,000*$18
value of the building=$216,000
The building would be recorded by Kansas Company for an amount of $216,000
Platen purchased inventory on August 17 and received an invoice with a list price amount of $5,900 and payment terms of 4/10, n/30. Platen uses the net method to record purchases. For what amount should Platen record the purchase

T. Boone Pickens football stadium at Oklahoma State University has a seating capacity of about 40,000. Assume the stadium sells out all six home games before the season begins and the athletic department collects $31 million in ticket sales.
Required:
a. What was the average price per season ticket and average price per individual game ticket sold?
b. Record the advance collection of $29 million in ticket sales.
c. Record the revenue earned after the first home game was completed.
Answer:
Total collection of ticket sales is $31 million
Seating capacity is 40,000 tickets
Average price per season ticket = Total collection / Seating capacity
=$31,000,000 / 40,000
=$775
Therefore, the average price per season ticket is $775
Average price per individual game ticket sold = Average price per ticket / Number of games
= 775 / 6
= $129
Therefore, the average price per individual game sold is $129 and the number of games is 6

Zoe, who is risk averse, purchased flight cancellation insurance which will cover the cost of her non-refundable $500 airline ticket if she is unable to travel due to illness. Zoe faces a 10 percent probability of becoming ill and then using the insurance.a) The fair insurance premium (i.e., selling price) for this insurance is $450.b) Zoe’s maximum willingness to pay for the insurance is $50.c) Zoe’s personal risk premium must exceed the actuarially fair price.d) None of the above.
Answer: Zoe’s maximum willingness to pay for the insurance is $50
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Zoe, who is risk averse, bought flight cancellation insurance which will cover the cost of her non-refundable $500 airline ticket if she is unable to travel due to illness wnd also that Zoe faces a 10 percent probability of becoming ill and then using the insurance.
The expected value of the insurance will be the cost of the airline ticket multiplied by the probability of her becoming ill. This will be:
= $500 × 10%
= $500 × 0.1
= $50
Based on the calculation, it can be concluded that Zoe’s maximum willingness to pay for the insurance is $50.
