= $623,700
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Refund liability (beginning balance) = $360,000
Sales = $12,100,000
Cost of merchandise = $8,470,000 (70% * $12,100,000)
Actual returns during the year = $594,000
Returns for prior years = 328,000
Returns for current year = 266,000
Estimated sales returns allowance = 5% for year-end adjusting entry.
Refund liability (beginning balance) = $360,000
Actual return for prior years = (328,000)
Allowance for current year = 591,700
Refund liability (ending balance) = $623,700
Assume the bonds below have the same term and principal and that the state or local government that issues the municipal bond has a good credit rating. Which list has bonds correctly ordered from the one that pays the highest interest rate to the one that pays the lowest interest rate
Answer:
b. corporate bond, U.S. government bond, municipal bond
Explanation:
If we assume that the bonds have the similar time period and the principal amount so the bond that pays the highest interest to the bond that pays the lowest interest rate is described below:
The ranking can be done
Corporate bond - highest interest rates
Municipal bonds - lowest interest rates
The same is to be considered
Therefore the option b is correct
Managers should make marketing decisions in the light of their own knowledge and experience instead of viewing research reports as the final answer to their problems because:
a. the number of factors included in a marketing research study are not exhaustive.
b. decisions based on marketing research reports are highly risky.
c. there is no possibility that marketing research will be affected by researcher bias.
d. marketing research is not a systematic process for obtaining information.
Answer:
a. the number of factors included in a marketing research study are not exhaustive.
Explanation:
Marketing research is highly effective as a tool for guiding marketing decisions, but it is necessary for the manager to rely on making decisions not only through research, but also due to his conceptual skills of seeing the organization in a systematic way, where there is a much greater breadth and more complex factors than just the information found through marketing research. The set of the manager's vision, experiences, analyzes and indicators is important for the most adequate assessment so that organizational marketing decisions are effective and achieve the company's objective.
Therefore, it is correct to state that the number of factors included in a marketing research study is not exhaustive.

What is the situation when a home currency purchases more goods and services at home than abroad when converted to a foreign currency
Answer:
The domestic currency is undervalued .
Explanation:
In the situation when a home currency purchases more goods and services at home than abroad when converted to a foreign currency, then The domestic currency is undervalued
A currency is undervalue whenever the "exchange rate" value to other currency arround the world is comparatively low. Under the economic condition the whenever the consumer purchase goods from foreign countries they tends to pay high because the value of that home currency is weak and low compare to the foreign currency. Most home currency are usually rate against US dollar.
Daily demand for a certain product is normally distributed with a mean of 138 and a standard deviation of 13. The supplier is reliable and maintains a constant lead time of 7 days. The cost of placing an order is $17 and the cost of holding inventory is $0.40 per unit per year. There are no stock-out costs, and unfilled orders are filled as soon as the order arrives. Assume sales occur over 358 days of the year.
Your goal here is to find the order quantity and reorder point to satisfy a 73 percent probability of not stocking out during the lead time.
a. To manage inventory, the company is using
Continuous review system
Periodic review system
b. Find the order quantity. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Order quantity books
c. Find the reorder point. (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.)
Reorder point
Answer:
A. Continuous review system
B. Order quantity = 2,049 Books
C. Reorder point=987
Explanation:
a. To manage inventory, the company is using CONTINUOUS REVIEW SYSTEM
b. Calculation to find the order quality
Using this formula
Order quantity = √((2DS)/H)
Let plug in the morning
Order quantity=√ ((2 x 49,404 x 17)/0.40)
Order quantity = 2,049 Books
Calculation for annual demand
Annual demand=138*358 days
Annual demand=49,404
C. Calculation for reorder point
First step is to find the σL
73 % S.L. - z = 0.613
Using this formula to find the σL
σL = (Lσ^2)
Let plug in the formula
σL=√(7(13)^2)
σL= 34.39
Second step is to find the Reorder point using this formula
Reorder point = d bar(L) + zσL
Let plug in the formula
Reorder point = (138)(7) + 0.613(34.39)
Reorder point = 966+21
Reorder point=987

b. Compute the break-even point in units and dollars.
c. Prepare a CVP graph, assuming a maximum of 1,800 haircuts in a month. Use increments of 300 haircuts on the horizontal axis and $3,000 on the vertical axis.
d. Determine net income, assuming 1,600 haircuts are given in a month.
Answer:
a. Variable costs = $9.60 and Fixed Costs = $7,840
b. 1,225 haircuts and $19,600
c. See attachment
d. $2,400
Explanation:
Variable Costs per haircut Calculations
Barber supplies $0.35
Utilities $0.10
Commission $9.15
Total Variable Costs per haircut $9.60
Total Monthly Fixed Costs Calculation
Base Salary (1,440 × 4 + 520) $6,280
Advertising $240
Rent $1,100
Utilities $185
Magazines $35
Total Monthly Fixed Costs $7,840
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable Cost per unit
= $16.00 - $9.60
= $6.40
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution ÷ Selling Price
= $6.40 ÷ $16.00
= 0.40
Break-even point (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $7,840 ÷ $6.40
= 1,225 haircuts
Break-even point (dollars) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
= $7,840 ÷ 0.40
= $19,600
Net income, assuming 1,600 haircuts are given in a month [calculation]
Contribution (1,600 × $6.40) $10,240
Less Fixed Costs ($7,840)
Net Income/(loss) $2,400

Construct the balance sheet for the new corporation if the merger is treated as a purchase for accounting purposes. The market value of All Gold Mining's fixed assets is $7,510; the market values for current and other assets are the same as the book values. Assume that Silver Enterprises issues $14,660 in new long-term dept to finance the acquisition.
Answer:
Silver Enterprises Post Merger Balance Sheet
Current Assets 12,920 Current liabilities 10,460
Other Asset 4,480 Long-term debt 19,770
Net Fixed Asset 24,810 Equity 17,450
Goodwill 5,470
$47,880 $47,680
Explanation:
Current assets = 10,000 + 2,920 = 12,920
Other assets = 3,100 + 1,380 = 4,480
Current liabilities = 7,840 + 2,620 = 10,460
Net fixed assets = 17,300 + 7,510= 24,810
Long-term debt = 5,110 + 14,660 = 19,770
Equity = $17,450

5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year.
6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant.
7. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the income or loss from operations be for the following year?
8. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?
a. In favor of the proposal because of the reduction in break-even point.
b. In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.
c. In favor of the proposal because of the increase in break-even point.
d. Reject the proposal because if future sales remain at the current level, the income from operations will increase.
e. Reject the proposal because the sales necessary to maintain the current income from operations would be below the current year sales.
Answer:
1. Determine the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.
Total variable costs = $17,500,000 + $3,000,000 + $1,500,000 = $22,000,000 Total fixed costs = $10,000,0002. Determine (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year.
Unit variable cost = $22,000,000 / 500,000 = $44 Unit contribution margin = $94 - $44 = $503. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year.
break even point = $10,000,000 / $50 = 200,000 units4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year.
break even point = $11,800,000 / $50 = 236,000 units5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year.
units = ($11,800,000 + $15,000,000) / $50 = 536,000 units6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant.
total units sold 500,000 + 40,000 = 540,000total contribution margin = 540,000 x $50 = $27,000,000operating income = $27,000,000 - $11,800,000 = $15,200,0007. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the income or loss from operations be for the following year?
operating income = (500,000 x $50) - $11,800,000 = $13,200,000represents a decrease of $15,000,000 - $13,200,000 = $1,800,0008. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?
b. In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.Which of the following changes in retained earnings during a period will be reported in the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows?

Two manufacturers, denoted 1 and 2, are competing for 100 identical customers. Each manufacturer chooses both the price and quality of its product, where each variable can take any nonnegtive real number. Let pi and xi denote, respectively, the price and quality of manufacturer i's product. The cost to manufacturer i of producing for one customer is 10+5xi . Note in this expression that the cost is higher when the quality is higher. If manufacturer i sells to qi customers, then its total cost is qi(10+5xi). Each cutomer buys from the manufacturer who offers the greatest value, where the value of buying from manufacturer i is 1000+ xi - pi ; higher quality and lower price means more value. A manufacturer's is qi( pi- 10 - 5xi ). If both manufacturer offers the same value, then 50 customers buy from each manufacturer. If one manufacturer offers higher value, then 100 customers buy from it.
Find all symmetric Nash equilibria.
Answer:
Nash equilibrium will occur at the following conditions P1 = P2 = 10 and x1 = x2 = 0.
Explanation:
The term or concept known as the Nash equilibria is very important and it is often used in the determination of the kind of price strategies companies that are competing against one another will use in order to acquire more customers than the others.
So, in this question/problem we are given that there are two manufacturer that is manufacturer 1 and manufacturer 2. Also, the total number of customers both manufacturers are competing for is equal to 100.
Kindly note that we are given from the question that ''Each manufacturer chooses both the price and quality of its product, where each variable can take any non-negative real number''
If each of the manufacturer has 50 customers each that is symmetric condition.
Assuming we have a condition or situation where p1 is less than p2 for manufacturer 1, it means that manufacture 1 lessens its price, therefore manufacturer 1 will have all all the profit = 100(p1 - 10 - 5x1).
Assuming manufacturer 1 reduces both the quality and the price this time around to the point that it is justifiable to lower the price because of the quality , it means that we will have 1000 + (x1 = 0) + (p1 - compensation m).
For any of the manufacturer, If m> x' and we have that x1 = x'>0[ which is for the quality], then, the profit will be 100(10 + 5x'- m -10).
Also, For any of the manufacturer, if we have x'<m<5x' and x1 for the representation of quality, then, Customers will buy from both manufacturer making m<5x'.
Therefore, Nash equilibrium will occur at the following conditions: P1 = P2 = 10 and x1 = x2 = 0.
The owner of a greenhouse and nursery is considering whether to spend $6,000 to acquire the licensing rights to grow a new variety of rosebush, which she could then sell for $6 each. Per-unit variable cost would be $3. How many rosebushes would she have to produce and sell in order to break even
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 2,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $6,000
Selling price= $6 each
Unitary variable cost= $3
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 6,000 / 3
Break-even point in units= 2,000
What are the key factor(s) for success in this industry/market
Answer:
Strategic Focus (Leadership, Management, Planning) People (Personnel, Staff, Learning, Development) Operations (Processes, Work) Marketing (Customer Relations, Sales, Responsiveness)
Explanation:
Whether you're operating an established small business or just starting out, an effective, ongoing marketing strategy is vital. But marketing without a plan will not only waste time and money; it may alienate your customers and stall the growth of your business.
To match your marketing strategies to the needs and expectations of your target customers and ensure that your business continues to grow, start by identifying your key success factors.
Key success factors (or KSF) are business strategies that are critical to a successful relationship with your customers.
Key success factors are decided by the needs and preferences of your market and customers, not by your business. However, consumers aren't going to tell you what those KSF are. Discovering your key success factors requires researching your customers to understand who they are, what they want from your company, and what prompts them to make a purchase.
A business generally has three to five key success factors that it needs to focus on to achieve its goals. Key success factors also may relate to areas of weakness that you must overcome to create a stronger relationship with your customers.
Once you understand and begin using your key success factors, they become part of your brand and business style.
At the beginning of the year, Monroe Company estimates annual overhead costs to be $500,000 and that 250,000 machine hours will be operated. Using machine hours as a base, the amount of overhead applied during the year if actual machine hours for the year was 150,000 hours is A.$500,000. B.$300,000. C.$600,000. D.$150,000.
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $300,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated annual overhead costs= $500,000
Estimated machine-hour= 250,000
Actual machine-hour= 150,000
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 500,000/250,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 2*150,000= $300,000

Explanation:
On December 31, 2021, the end of the fiscal year, California Microtech Corporation completed the sale of its semiconductor business for $15 million. The semiconductor business segment qualifies as a component of the entity according to GAAP. The book value of the assets of the segment was $13 million. The loss from operations of the segment during 2021 was $4.8 million. Pretax income from continuing operations for the year totaled $7.8 million. The income tax rate is 25%.
Prepare the lower portion of the 2021 income statement beginning with income from continuing operations before income taxes. Ignore EPS disclosures. (Amounts to be deducted and negative amounts should be indicated with a minus sign. Enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions.)
Answer:
Income from continuing operations before income taxes 7,800,000
Less Income tax expenses (7,800,000*25%) (1,950,000)
Income from continuing operations 5,850,000
Discontinued operations:
Loss from operations of discontinued component (2,800,000)
Income tax benefit 700,000
Loss on discontinued operations (2,100,000)
Net Income (loss) 3,750,000
Working
Loss from operations of discontinued component
= Gain from sale of semiconductor business - loss from operations of the segment
= (15 - 13 ) - 4.8
= -$2.8 million
Income tax benefit
= 2,800,000 * 25%
= $700,000
Two methods can be used for producing solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000, an annual operating cost of $160,000 per year, and $125,000 salvage value after its three-year life. Method 2 will cost $830,000 with an annual operating cost of $120,000. and a $240,000 salvage value after its five-year life. The company has asked you to determine which method is better, but it Wants the analysis done over a three-year planning period. The salvage value of Method 2 will be 35% higher after three years than it is after five years. If the company's minimum attractive rate of return is 10% per year, which method should the company select?
Answer:
the company should choose method 1
Explanation:
Method 1 Method 2
Initial outlay $550,000 $830,000
operating costs (years 1,2,3) $160,000 $120,000
salvage value $125,000 $324,000
we must determine which alternative has the lowest present value:
method 1 = $550,000 + $160,000/1.1 + $160,000/1.1² + $160,000/1.1³ - $125,000/1.1³ = $550,000 + $145,455 + $132,231 + $120,210 - $93,914 = $853,982
method 2 = $830,000 + $120,000/1.1 + $120,000/1.1² + $120,000/1.1³ - $324,000/1.1³ = $830,000 + $109,091 + $99,174 + $90,158 - $243,426 = $884,996
You recommend the following: We should discontinue our policy of reimbursing employees for meals and incidental expenses. In place of this policy, we should provide $100 daily stipends. This recommendation is best classified as what
Answer:
the options are missing:
Specific, actionable, and justified
Specific but not actionable and not justified
Specific and actionable but not justified
The answer is:
Specific, actionable, and justifiedThis proposition is very specific (it is the only thing that all three options agree upon).
In order for a recommendation to be actionable, it must be relevant and feasible.
This recommendation is feasible since 83% of the employees prefer the $100 stipend. It is also relevant because the company can save approximately $61 per employee per day.
This $61 savings per day per employee also makes this proposition justifiable since the company's employees travel a lot.
Reimbursement is the payment that the company does to its employees for their service. The proposal is Specific, actionable, and justified.
What is Reimbursement ?It is the money paid to the employees/customer/parties for their services provided. It's a business expense and paid after complying with the tax rules.
The proposal is Specific, actionable, and justified.
The recommendation should be feasible to be actionable. It is feasible because 83% of employees agreed to the $100 stipend daily for meals and incidental expenses. And it is at the same time beneficial to the company, as it would save $61 per employee per day.
Therefore, it can be said that the above explanation aptly describes the statement.

Your firm has taken out a 521,000 loan with 8.6% APR (compounded monthly) for some commercial property. As is common in commercial real estate, the loan is a 5-year loan based on a 15-year amortization. This means that your loan payments will be calculated as if you will take 15 years to pay off the loan, but you actually must do so in 5 years. To do this, you will make 59 equal payments based on the 15-year amortization schedule and then make a final 60th payment to pay the remaining balance.
A. What will your monthly payments be?
B. What will your final payment be?
Answer:
A. What will your monthly payments be?
$5,161.08B. What will your final payment be?
$419,650Explanation:
loan = $521,000
interest rate = 8.6% compounded monthly
loan schedule = 15 years
monthly payment = loan amount / PV annuity factor, 0.7167%, 180 periods* = $521,000 / 100.94786 = $5,161.08
No annuity table will give you the annuity factor for 0.7167%, so you must search for an annuity calculator on the web.
Then I prepared an amortization schedule to determine the balance after the 59th payment (attached file). The balance after the 59th payment is $416,649 + $3,001 in interests = $419,650.

Many assets provide a series of cash inflows over time; and many obligations require a series of payments. When the payments are equal and are made at fixed intervals, the series is an annuity. There are three types of annuities: (1) __________ (2)_________, and (3) __________-. One can find an annuity's future and present values, the interest rate built into annuity contracts, and the length of time it takes to reach a financial goal using an annuity.
Answer:
Fixed annuities
Variable annuities
Indexed annuities
Explanation:
Annuities are defined as contract that pays out regular amounts over time at a particular interest rate.
Usually there is an initial investment of a lumps sum or a series of deposits.
Annuities are classified based on level of risk and payout potential into 3:
- Fixed annuity give out a fixed guaranteed payout amount. The risk is low but the payout is low. Slightly above certificate of deposits.
- Variable annuity is one that gives room for a higher payout but risk is also higher. A set of mutual funds are invested in and payout is dependent on how they perform.
- Indexed annuity gives higher return that is tied to the performance of an index like the S&P 500. The risk is lower than that of variable annuity

Assignment 3 Suggested Length: 750 to 1000 words Ethical Theories to Apply: Golden Rule and Virtue Ethics
1. Task You work in the Ethics Department for ABC Company (ABC). Your department is dedicated to advising its employees about their ethical obligations in the corporate setting. You are an internal consultant who provides advice and most importantly, recommendations for action to employees of the firm. All communications you receive in this capacity are confidential. Luke, an employee of ABC, comes to you with the following scenario and asks for your advice. He wants to fully consider the situation. Your task is to advise and recommend a course of action based on the specified ethical lenses and facts as given. Below are the facts that Luke provides to you. ***** Luke has been asked to work on a project that involves developing land recently purchased by ABC to build an adult entertainment retail store. According to the plan, the land is located on the corner of the neighborhood where Owen, Luke’s brother, lives. Luke knows that as soon as the plans for the store are made public, property values for the surrounding neighborhood will decrease significantly. ABC plans to publicly announce the project one month from today. Luke is concerned about his obligations of confidentiality to his company. However, Luke is also very close to Owen, who recently told Luke that he received an offer to sell his house at an "okay" price given the current real estate market. Owen is considering selling but hasn’t made any final decision yet. He wonders if he might get a better offer a few years from now when the real estate market improves. What is the ethical issue, why is this an issue, and what should Luke do about it?
***** For assignment 3, prepare a memo, setting out your analysis and recommendations, that considers ONLY the following two theories: Golden Rule and Virtue Ethics.
Answer:
My answer is a little long, so you will probably need to summarize it.
The ethical issue here is that you work for a company that is about to open a store that will make the price of your brother's house to plummet. Your brother has the option to sell his house right now, but if you tell him to accept the offer, you will be breaching your employment duties.
Is your duty towards your brother more or less important than the duty towards the company?
We can analyze both possible outcomes:
You do not tell your brother and he does not sell his house. After the store is announced, your brother's house will decrease in value. That means that your brother will lose a lot of money, but you complied with the obligation of confidentiality that you have with your company. The downside is that once your brother knows about it, he will hate you for the rest of his life. And the hatred will probably not be limited to only your brother, most, if not all of your family will be very unpleased and terribly mad at you. Your family will probably wonder why your parents didn't abort you?, or are you adopted?, or do you simply hate humanity? On the other hand, you decide that you value your brother and whole family, and you decide to tell him to accept the offer. You will have breached your confidentiality obligation towards the company, but you will have literally saved your brother's financial situation, and you will have saved any type of relationship that you have with your family. Will the company be hurt by your decision? No, it will not make any difference to them. They are announcing the decision in just a few days, so anything that you tell your brother will not make any difference. Since your brother will try to sell his house, he will keep the information to himself, since telling other people will only ruin any possible sale.If we follow the golden rule: do to others what you would like them to do to you, then obviously we should tell Owen about our company's plans. If we were Owen, that information would be really important for us.
If we follow virtue ethics, then it gets a little bit more complicated. Is telling Owen about the new store a virtuous action? Would a virtuous person do it? To be honest, I'm not really sure what exactly is a virtuous person.
What I understand is that virtue ethics is based on who you are, and not what you really will do. So, the question here would be: Are you a good (or virtuous) brother? Are you a good (or virtuous) employee? In this case, you cannot be a virtuous employee and a virtuous brother at the same time, so it depends on which you value the most. Going back to the possible outcomes, I would prefer to be a virtuous brother in this case.
