Answer:
the interest expense os $99,317 and the depreciation expense of $82,764
Explanation:
The computation of the interest expense and the depreciation expense is given below:
Interest expense is
= Present value × effective interest rate
= $1,241,466 × 8%
= $99,317
And, the depreciation expense is
= Present value ÷ estimated life
= $1,241,466 ÷ 15 years
= $82,764
Hence, the interest expense os $99,317 and the depreciation expense of $82,764

The explanation for why marginal cost is positive and rising in the short run is ________ marginal product of labor in the production process. A) a zero B) a constant C) an increasing D) a diminishing
Due to an increase in the marginal cost of production for more units than the marginal product of labor is increasing.
What is Marginal production?Marginal production is the additional production of units and additional input of labor over the expected production level. The cost incurred for the marginal production changes in total, but remain constant per unit of production.
There is a direct relationship between the marginal cost of production and the marginal product of labor.
Since the labor is the only variable input for the production and the marginal cost of production is diminishing, this means the cost of producing an additional unit of production is lower.
Thus, the reduction in the marginal cost will increase the marginal product of labor.

= $19
Hence, the predetermined overhead rate per direct labor hour would be $19
The United States imports a lot of cars, despite having its own auto industry. Each of the following statements are arguments some people could make for restricting imports of cars into the United States. For each statement, identify the threat to the U.S. industry that the argument is trying to counter, and identify the opportunities that would be given up if the argument wins.
Choose the correct answer:
a. "Foreign manufacturers are offloading their cheap cars onto the U.S. market. We should stop this so that consumers have access to higher-quality U.S. cars."
-National security requires that strategically important goods be produced domestically.
-Protection can help infant industries develop.
-Foreign competition may lead to job losses.
-Anti-dumping laws prevent unfair competition.
-Trade should not enable foreign firms to skirt U.S. regulations.
b. "We must foster the innovation of small car companies, like Tesla. Allowing foreign electric vehicle manufacturers to sell cars in the U.S. will eliminate any chance of creating those cars domestically."
-Foreign competition may lead to job losses.
-Anti-dumping laws prevent unfair competition.
-National security requires that strategically important goods be produced domestically.
-Trade should not enable foreign firms to skirt U.S. regulations.

Select the correct answer.
Delegating means being responsible for all the work.
A True
B. False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
Delegating is using one's authority to assign some responsibilities to team members. Usually, delegations stem from a senior officer to a junior officer but can also be between co-workers. It is authorizing and empowering someone else to execute some of your responsibilities on your behalf.
In delegation, the delegating authority must provide clear guidance on how the assigned duties are discharged. Some level of supervision is still required as delegating does not take away the accountability element from the delegating authority.

The explanation of the answers are now given as folllows:
a. What are the tax consequences for Casper and Cecile regarding these transactions?
Casper who is the party that is making the transfer will enjoy a deduction for the property he transferred as he is nt entitled to the deduction. In addition, no gain or loss will be recognized by Casper o the transfer.
Cecila who us the party that receives the property will also not recognize income. She will include the property received on cost basis equal to basis of the Casper who is the party that the transfer.
b. How much gain or loss does Casper recognize on the transfer of the stock?
$0 gain or loss will be recognized by Casper on the transfer.
The reason for this is that anything that is paid under alimony that is not cash is not taxable. Since what Casper transferred is not cash, $0 will be recognized.
c. Does Casper receive a deduction for the $45,000 alimony paid?
The total alimony made by Casper during the year is calculated as follows:
Total alimony paid = Alimony amount * Number of payments during the year = $9,000 * 5 = $45,000
Therefore, a deduction will be received by Casper for the $45,000 alimony paid during the year.
d. How much income does Cecile have from the $45,000 alimony received?
The amount of income is the $45,000 alimony received from Casper during the year. And this will be included in her gross income.
e. When Cecile sells the stock, how much does she report?
The amount she will report as capital gain can be calculated as follows:
Capital gains = Revenue from the sales of the stock by Cecile - Purchase price paid by Casper = $252,000 - $180,000 = $72,000
Therefore, Cecile will report a capital gains of $72,000.
This year, Johnson Mills has annual revenue of $37,800, cost of goods sold of $23,200, and administrative expenses of $6,300. The firm paid $700 in dividends, $280 in interest, and has a total tax rate of 21 percent. The firm will add $2,810 to retained earnings. What is the depreciation expense?
Answer:
$3,857
Explanation:
From the above, we do know that;
Revenue - Expenses = Net income
But
Expenses = Revenue - Cost of goods sold - Admin expenses - Depreciation expenses
Also,
Net income tax = Income before taxes × ( 1 - tax rate)
Since we do not know Net income taxes,
Net income - Dividends = Change in retain earnings
Net income = $2,810 + $700
= $3,510
Income before taxes = $3,510 / 0.79
= $4,443
$37,800 - $23,200 - $6,300 - Depreciation expenses = $4,443
Therefore,
Depreciation expenses = $3,857

Timing Technology, Inc. manufactures timing devices. During 20x1, 1,500,000 units were completed and transferred to finished-goods inventory. On December 31, 20x1, there were 320,000 units in work in process. These units were 49 percent complete as to conversion and 100 percent complete as to direct material. Finished-goods inventory consisted of 450,000 units. Materials are added to production at the beginning of the manufacturing process, and overhead is applied to each product at the rate of 100 percent of direct-labor costs. There was no finished-goods inventory on January 1, 20x1. A review of the inventory cost records disclosed the following information:
Units Materials Labor
Work in process, January 1, 20x1 310,000 $310,000 $315,400
(84% complete as to conversion)
Units started in production 1,510,000
Direct-material costs $2,966,000
Direct-labor costs $2,998,200
Required:
Complete the following schedule as of December 31, 20x1, to compute the cost of work-in-process inventory.
Physical Units
Total units to account for 0
Total units to account for 0
Answer:
The cost of work-in-process inventory as of December 31, 20x1 is:
= $368,998.40
Physical units:
For materials = 320,000 units
For conversion = 156,800 units
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Units Materials Labor
Work in process, January 1, 20x1 310,000 $310,000 $315,400
(84% complete as to conversion)
Units started in production 1,510,000 1,510,000 1,510,000
Direct-material costs $2,966,000
Direct-labor costs $2,998,200
Total costs $3,276,000 $3,313,600
Units started in production 1,510,000 1,510,000 1,510,000
Work in process, December 31, 20x1 320,000 320,000 156,800
Total equivalent units 1,830,000 1,666,800
Costs per equivalent unit $1.79 $1.988
Cost of Ending WIP = $ (320,000 *$1.79 + 156,800*$1.988)
= $57,280 for materials + $311,718.40 for materials
= $368,998.40
b) The weighted average method was used to calculate the equivalent units. With this method, the beginning units of work-in-process are not part of the calculation (only the units started and completed and the ending work-in-process are). However, the costs of the beginning work-in-process form part of the calculation together with the cost of units started and completed during the current period.

Describe the shifts in the world economy over the past 30 years. What are the implications of these shifts for international businesses based in the United Kingdom
Answer:
In the last 30 years, national economies have shifted towards decreasing trade barriers, and the world is becoming global economic space. Economic turbulence, especially in one of the major economies like the US, Europe, and China, tends to have ripple effects on other world economies. For example, the subprime housing crisis in 2008, which upturned the US economy, reached global proportions with the economic and financial meltdowns that were felt globally.
The new emergence in the economic system suggests that national boundaries are shrinking, and economies are becoming integrated and interdependent. In the last 30 years, China emerged as a global economic superpower, challenging the dominance of the US and European economies.
For businesses based in the United Kingdom, they have wider opportunities and better playing grounds. They can look beyond Europe and the US for investment and business opportunities. China, especially Hong Kong, is becoming an investment haven. Even other developing countries like Brazil, South Africa, and Dubai are becoming more attractive with increased consumer spending.
Secondly, the United Kingdom will continue to be the center of attraction for some Asian firms that will use London as a launching pad for their European businesses. This also poses some threats, just as it generates opportunities for global expansion of UK-based businesses.
Explanation:
Globalization has caused the world economies to merge and become a global economy. However, in the last four years, China seems to be recoiling to its shelves with the coming on board of the Trump Administration, which had exposed China's behind-the-door fiscal and monetary policies. This started when the administration labeled China as a currency manipulator. China is becoming alienated from the US and having its reputation tarnished internationally. The earlier prediction that China would emerge as the dominant superpower economy in 2010 was not wholly realized. China is re-strategizing by concentrating its investments in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and some parts of Europe.
You know that one of your shortcomings is that you have no real job experience to speak of. You are considering beefing up your resume by exaggerating the extent of the class project you worked on for a few weeks at your brother-in-law’s small consulting firm. You could reword the resume to make it sound as if you were actually employed there and that your responsibilities were greater than they actually were. What would you do?
Answer:
Obviously, I will not reword the resume in order make it sound as if I was employed.
Explanation:
Solution:
Obviously, I will not reword the resume in order make it sound as if I was employed.
Because:
1. It is ethically wrong.
2. If I reword the resume, then obviously, I would present fake certificates to the company in order to prove the rewording or exaggerating presenting in the resume.
3. Fake documents and certificates can not be hidden for long.
4. It is really dangerous and illegal to present fake data and certificates. You can get a job on those fake profiles but after some time, chances are very high that you will be caught red handed. And consequently, you can face severe legal proceedings as well.
Hence, I will definitely not exaggerate or reword the resume. Better way is to get an internship experience for free and then provide real certificates to secure a job.

Use the indirect pattern when you need to soften or delay bad news until after an explanation is given. Understanding the four components of the indirect pattern will help you craft messages that convey empathy, present reasons, cushion bad news, and close pleasantly. What buffering technique are you using if you provide objective information in your opening
Answer:
Facts.
Explanation:
You can use the indirect pattern when you need to soften or delay bad news until after an explanation is given. Basically, understanding the four components of the indirect pattern will help you craft messages that convey empathy, present reasons, cushion bad news, and close pleasantly.
Hence, if you provide objective information in your opening the buffering technique you are using is facts.
This ultimately implies that, the opening of a message can be buffered through the inclusion of facts and as such introducing a bad news objectively. Also, the facts used as a buffer technique should be concise, relevant and straightforward.
Examples of imperfections in the financial system which allow banks to exist include which of the following? A. Informational asymmetry B. Efficiency of markets C. Divisibility of assets D. Adequate liquidity E. All of the examples are of the imperfections that exist.
Answer: A. Informational asymmetry
Explanation:
There exists an information asymmetry in the financial markets that rises from people being unable to adequately analyse the riskiness of various business endeavours.
Banks overcome this information asymmetry by having experience and well trained personnel that are capable of adequately assigning risk to ventures and charging them the appropriate interest rate to make a return on that venture.
Raw materials inventory was $5,000 at the beginning of the year and $12,000 at the end of the year. During the year, a total of $27,000 in raw materials were purchased, including $4,000 of indirect materials that were put into manufacturing overhead during the period. Calculate the cost of direct materials used during the period.
Answer:
Direct material used= $16,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= $5,000
Ending inventory= $12,000
Direct material purchased= 27,000 - 4,000= $23,000
To calculate the direct material used, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 5,000 + 23,000 - 12,000
Direct material used= $16,000

Giving the following information:
Cash flows:
1= $6,400
2= $6,450
3= $7,225
4= $7,500
Opportunity cost= 10%
To calculate the future value of the cash flows, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
FV= Cf*(1+i)^n
i= opportunity cost
FV1= 6,400*1.1^4= 9,370.24
FV2= 6,450*1.1^3= 8,584.95
FV3= 7,225*1.1^2= 8,742.25

Explanation:
Tarazzz Company manufactures computers. The following cost information for the manufacture of one computer has been compiled. Direct materials $48 Direct labor 64 Variable manufacturing overhead 40 *Fixed manufacturing overhead 48 Total cost per unit $200 *The $48 amount reflects the amount of indirect cost allocated to each unit. However, as indicated, the total of these indirect costs is fixed. Tarazzz has received a special order for 1,000 computers at a price of $150 per unit. By how much will overall company net income change if the order is accepted
Answer:
Company net income will DECREASE by $2,000 if the order is accepted.
Explanation:
Company net income will DECREASE by $2,000 if the order is accepted.
Additional order will produce additional sales revenue of $150 per unit
The marginal cost for this order = Variable costs (Direct material + Direct labour + variable cost) =$152 per unit
Since the marginal cost ($152) is more than the revenue ($150)per unit, there will be a loss of $2 per unit.
So the net income of the company will DECREASE by $2000 ($2x 1000)
Jimmy's pizza bought a new pizza oven for $7,276. The useful life is estimated to be 12 years and the salvage value is $400. If jimmy uses straight line depreciation:
A. Calculate the annual depreciation
B. Determine the book value of the oven at the end of 8 years.
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
In straight-line depreciation, depreciation is a constant figure throughout the useful life of an asset.
The depreciation rate = 1/useful life x 100
For Jimmy's pizza depreciation rate
=1/12 x 100
=8.333%
The depreciable rate = Asset cost - salvage value
=$7,276 - $400
=$6,876
Annual depreciation = 8.333% x $6,876
=0.08333 x $6,876
=$573 per year
Book value after 8 years
=Asset value minus accumulated depreciation.
Accumulated depreciation = annual depreciation x number of year
Accumulated depreciation = $573 x 8
Accumulated depreciation= $4,584
Book value =$7,276 - $4,584
= $2,692

A company estimates that 0.7% of their products will fail after the original warranty period but within 2 years of the purchase, with a replacement cost of $150. If they offer a 2 year extended warranty for $12, what is the company's expected value of each warranty sold
Answer:
$10.97
Explanation:
Calculation for what is the company's expected value of each warranty sold
First step is to calculate the outcome
Outcome=$150-$12
Outcome=138
Second step is to calculate the outcome probability
Outcome probability=1-0.007
Outcome probability=0.993 and 0.007 respectively
Now let calculate the company's expected value of each warranty sold
Expected value of each warranty sold=$12*0.993+(-$138)*0.007
Expected value of each warranty sold=$10.97
Therefore Expected value of each warranty sold is $10.97
How does a business survive and maintain a profit?
Answer:
Make sure you don't copy and paste. Have a good day!!!
Explanation:
1. Customers
Find and keep your own customers – you have to be able to solve their real problems & sell yourself effectively.
Too many businesses rely on ‘being in the supply chain’, have too few major customers and do not invest personal time and effort in developing and maintaining customer relations – remember, ‘people buy people’.
Check their credit rating and monitor their speed of payment.
You have not made a sale until they’ve paid the bill. Some customers have bad habits over slow payment; some are big enough to know better. Some will go under before they pay – avoid them.
2. Risks
Assess risks & their potential impact – e.g. customer or supplier closure
Develop contingency plans to mitigate risks
We live in a risky business environment. Don’t assume everything will be OK – look at the potential risks, pitfalls and liabilities for your business and at how you can reduce the biggest risks or anticipate how you will respond if the worst happens.
3. Opportunities
Look for ways to create new value – e.g. new pricing, products & offers to stimulate demand
It often takes longer and costs more than you think to innovate or do anything new.
Use the technology – social media, tablet computing and smartphones are constantly changing the ways we can do business
There are always new opportunities and growing confidence in the economy accelerates these. Many of the most attractive are not in the UK but are international.
Innovation and new approaches can open up promising opportunities but experience tells us that when doing anything new often costs more and takes longer to implement than you first expect, so be prepared to increase your investment of time and money for those new ideas. That means doing your research to find out just how attractive an opportunity it is in the first place.
4. Money in – manage cash and break even
Forecast and monitor your cash flow very closely
Aim to maintain/increase profit margins rather than just increasing sales turnover (bottom line not top line)
Monitor breakeven on the business, customers, products, staff.
Beware of ‘buying’ work at cut-throat margins. Profitable businesses can fail because they run out of money, often suffering from slow payment and lack of credit. Aim to be cash-positive and you will sleep better at night. Break-even is the point at which the business, a person or a contract starts making a profit and is always an important measure.
5. Money out – manage costs and debt
Keep your fixed costs down: avoid costs which are not essential.
Aim to grow sales on a variable cost basis – borrow, rent or lease assets but don’t buy things or hire people you don’t need.
Keep in contact with creditors & lenders to avoid nasty surprises.
Businesses can be wasteful; you don’t need to be. Invest your money only in assets and projects which will provide a strong return. The worst time to ask a lender for more money is when you really need it. Up to date management accounts are essential and you must read them to monitor the health of the business.
6. People
Optimism – positive, realistic leadership with open communications
Set & monitor clear & realistic targets – sales, costs, project completion, debt etc.
Move unproductive people & customers out of the business.
At the end of the day it’s all about how you manage relationships with people. You can tell a lot about a business from the quality of interactions between its managers, employees, customers and suppliers.

Echo Corporation had the following balances immediately prior to writing off a $100 uncollectible account:
Current assets $30,000
Accounts receivable 3,300
Allowance for doubtful accounts 300
Current liabilities 10,000
Required:
Calculate the following amounts or ratios and determine the relationship between the amount or ratio before the write-off (x) with the amount or ratio after the write-off (y);
Amount or Ratio Possibilities
1. Current ratio a. x more than y
2. Net accounts receivable balance b. x equals y
3. Gross accounts receivable balance c. x less than y
d. cannot be determined
Answer:
1. Current Ratio
= Current assets/ Current liabilities
= 30,000/10,000
= 3
b. x equals y
The $100 uncollectible will be written off from the Allowance for doubtful debt account and so will not affect the Accounts Receivable (current asset) so the ratio before and after write-off will be equal.
2. Net accounts receivable balance
= Accounts receivable - Allowance for doubtful accounts
= 3,300 - 300
= $3,000
b. x equals y
The $100 uncollectible will be taken from the Allowance account and so will not affect the reduction from the Accounts receivable.
3. Gross accounts receivable balance
Before write off = $3,300
After write off = 3,300 - 100 = $3,200
a. x more than y
Using the gross method means that there is no Allowance account and the write-off will completely be from the Accounts receivable so the amount before write-off will be more than the amount after.
