Explanation:
Managers are important members of the organization. Within an organization, there are managers at four levels: top, middle, first-line, and team leaders.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: False.
Explanation:
To begin with, the managers are one of the most important parts of the organization due to the fact that they have the task to plan, organize, direct and control the operations of the company. There are at least three levels in which the managers can go and have their work done, like the management area(high), the department areas(middle) and the operations area(low): However, that will depend on the organization and its size due to that an organization can only have managers at one level.
Prescott Bank offers you a five-year loan for $55,000 at an annual interest rate of 7.25 percent. What will your annual loan payment be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Annual loan payment = $13,146.78
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The monthly equal installment is calculated as follows:
Monthly equal installment= Loan amount/Monthly annuity factor
Monthly annuity factor
=( 1-(1+r)^(-n))/r
r- Monthly interest rate (r)
= 7.25%/12= 0.604 %
n- Number of months ( n) in 5 years
= 12* 6 = 60
Annuity factor
= ( 1- (1.00604)^(-60)/0.00604= 50.2024
Monthly installment= 55,000 /50.2024 = $1,095.56
Monthly installment = $1,095.56
Annual loan payment = monthly installment × 12
Annual loan payment =$1,095.56 ×12=13,146.78
Annual loan payment = $13,146.78
At Emmerson Company, one bookkeeper prepares the cash deposits while the other bookkeeper enters the collections in the journal and ledger. Which of the following is the best explanation of this type of internal control principle over cash reciepts?
a. mechanical controls
b. physical controls
c. documentation procedures
d. segregation of duties
Answer:
d. segregation of duties
Explanation:
Segregation of duties defines that when a different number of people doing their duties for the same purpose. For example a person receives an envelope of cheque and another person records in accounting system.
According to the given situation, one person who is bookkeeper prepared cash deposit and another person records the collection of journal and ledger. So, this indicates the segregation of duties
XYZ, Inc. just sold 700,000 shares in a public offering for an offering price of $24 per share. The underwriting fee was 7.50% of the issue’s total value based on the offering price. As soon as the shares were issued, the price jumped to $36 per share. What are the explicit, implicit, and total costs of the issue?
Answer:
explicit costs = $1,260,000
the implicit costs = $8,400,000
total costs = $9,660,000
Explanation:
the underwriter's explicit costs = total number of shares x initial price x % charged by underwriter = 700,000 x $24 x 7.5% = $1,260,000
the implicit costs = (market price - initial price) x total number of shares = ($36 - $24) x 700,000 = $8,400,000
total costs = $9,660,000
nterest rates on 2-year Treasury securities are currently 6.0%, while 6-year Treasury securities yield 6.5%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what does the market believe that 4-year securities will be yielding 2 years from now
Answer:
The market believes that 4-years from now, the 4-year securities will be 6.75%
Explanation:
We proceed as follows using the pure expectations theory .
The theory states that the future rates are exclusively represented by the forward rate.
Mathematically;
(1 + .065)^6 = (1 + .^206)2 * (1 + x)^4
1.4591 = 1.1236 * (1 + x)^4
Divide both sides by 1.1236
1.2986 = (1 + x)^4
Take both sides to the 1/4 power to get rid of the power of 4
1.0675= 1 + x
x = .0675 or 6.75%
A 5-year corporate bond yields 7.0%. A 5-year municipal bond (tax exempt bond) of equal risk yields 5.0%. Assume that the state tax rate is zero. At what federal tax rate are you indifferent between the two bonds?
Answer:
The tax rate is approximately(rounded to a whole) 29%
Explanation:
The federal tax that would make an investor indifferent between the 5-year corporate bond and the 5-year municipal bond can be derived by equating the return on the former to the taxable return of the latter as below:
5%=7%*(1-t)
where the t is the unknown tax rate
Note that the return on 5-year corporate bond is taxable while the return on the municipal bond is tax-free
5%=7%*(1-t)
5%/7%=1-t
0.7143 =1-t
t=1-0.7143
t=29%

Indicate what components of GDP (if any) each of the following transactions would affect. a. Your parents buy a new house from a local builder. b. Your parents pay an accountant to file their tax returns. c. New York hires workers to plow snow after a snowstorm. d. Honda expands its factory in Ohio. e. Ford sells a Mustang from its inventory to the Martinez family. f. Aunt Polly buys a new air conditioner from a domestic manufacturer. You buy a new Toshiba computer. g. the Jackson family buys an old Victorian house from the Walker family.
Answer:
a. Consumption spending
b. consumption spending
c. government spending
d. investment
e. consumption and investment
f. consumption spending
g. not included in GDP
Purchase of a Toshiba laptop is consumption spending
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceeds import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used or old products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
Consumption spending includes expenditures by households on durable and non durable goods and services
the following are durable consumption by households and are included in the calculation of GDP :
Purchase of a house
Purchase of a mustang
Purchase of an air conditioner
purchase of a computer
the purchase of the old Victorian house isn't included in the calculation of GDP because it is old. Only items produced in the current year are included in the GDP. if the old home is counted, it would be double counting
hiring an accountant is an example of purchase of services by households and it is consumption spending.
Spending by businesses are included in investment spending.
expenditure by the government or state are included in government spending
Based on the following information for Builtrite, calculate the current value of its stock if the current dividend is $3.00, a projected super normal growth for three years at 20%, the growth rate after year 3 should remain constant at 9% and you want to earn a 16% annual return. What would you be willing to pay for Builtrite stock?
Answer:
$61.35
Explanation:
The computation of the current value of the stock is shown below:
Current Dividend = D0 = $3.00
Super Normal growth for next 3 years = g1 = 20% or 0.20
Growth Rate after 3 year = g2 = 9% or 0.09
Required rate of Return = r = 16% or 0.16
Now
as we know that
Value of Share (P0) is
= [D1 ÷ (1 + r)] + [D2 ÷ (1 + r)^2] + [D3 ÷ (1 + r)^3] + [P3 ÷ (1 +r )^3]
Where
D1 = Dividend in year 1
D2 = Dividend in year 2
D3 = Dividend in year 3
P3 = Value of share at the end of year 3
Now first we have to compute the P3 value which is
P3 = D4 ÷ (r - g2)
= D0 × (1 + g1)^3 (1 + g2) ÷(r - g2)
= $3.00 × (1 + 0.20)^3 (1 + 0.09) ÷ (0.16-0.09)
= $5.65056
Now
Value of Share (P0) is
= [D1 ÷ (1 + r)] + [D2 ÷ (1 + r)^2] + [D3 ÷ (1 + r)^3] + [P3 ÷ (1 + r)^3]
= [D0 × (1 + g1) ÷ (1 + r)^1] + [D0 × (1 + g1)^2 ÷ (1 + r)^2] + [D0 × (1 + g1)^3 ÷ (1 + r)^3] + [P3 ÷ (1 + r)^3]
= [$3.00 × (1 + 0.20) ÷ (1 + 0.16)^1] + [$3.00 × (1 + 0.20)^2 ÷ (1 + 0.16)^2] + [$3.00 × (1 + 0.20)^3 ÷ (1 + 0.16)^3] + [$5.65056 ÷ (1 + 0.16)^3]
= $3.10 + $3.21 + $ 3.32 + $51.72
= $61.35
Where can Costco improve? Should it offer more products or advertise more? Why or why not?
Answer:
Costco should advertise more.
Explanation:
Costco is following traditional ways to advertise its products. Most of the organizations prefer to spend huge sums of money on advertising its products. Costco should advertise its products and reach out to its customers and potential customers through marketing. It spends no budget on advertising. It only sends targeted emails to its existing customers. This strategy will not enhance its customer portfolio and new customers might not reach out the company.
Answer:
where can Costco improve

Wesimann Co. issued 12-year bonds a year ago at a coupon rate of 7.8 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments and have a par value of $1,000. If the YTM on these bonds is 6.1 percent, what is the current bond price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Price of bond =1,143.18
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Wesimann Co can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 7.8% × 1000 × 1/2 = 39
Semi-annual yield = 6.1%/2 = 3.05 % per six months
Total period to maturity (in months)
= (2 × 12) = 24 periods (Note it was sold 12 years ago)
PV of interest =
39 × (1- (1+0.0305)^(-24)/) 0.0305 = 656.94
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.0305)^(-24) = 486.237
Price of bond
= 656.94 +486.23 = 1,143.179
Price of bond =1,143.18

Regina recently landed her dream job at a local clothes outlet. Within a few weeks of working in her new employment, however, Regina began to engage in fraud. Regina committed the fraud by doing the following:
When people returned merchandise, Regina would ring up an amount that was greater than the value of the item that was being returned. Regina would then pocket the extra cash and give the customer the amount due. Regina found this method of fraud very effective because people were, in reality, returning something and inventory and register totals wouldn't be out of balance at the end of the day.
Required:
1. What type of fraud is Regina committing?
2. How could her employer detect this kind of fraud?
Answer:
Fraudulent disbursements,
card statement review
Explanation:
Fraudulent disbursements are very common and occur when an employee misappropriates company funds by making inappropriate payments, fraudulent. They are also called on-book frauds and can only be traced by putting systems that keep these practices in check. The most likely way to have caught the employee in the above case was to review the card statement and review purchases made and to what amount the refund from the company's card was made

Explanation:
On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $67,600 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for four years and perform 200 concerts. It estimates that after four years it can sell the equipment for $1,000. During the first year, the band performs 45 concerts. Compute the first-year depreciation using the units-of-production method.
Answer: $14,985
Explanation:
Using the Units-of-Production method means that the asset is depreciated based on how many times it is used.
The formula is;
= ( Cost - Salvage Value)/Total Usage
= (67,600 - 1,000) / 200
= $333 per concert
Equipment depreciates by $333 per concert.
First year has 45 concerts;
= 333 * 45
= $14,985
A company's product sells at $12 per unit and has a $5 per unit variable cost. The company's total fixed costs are $98,000. The contribution margin per unit is:
Answer:
The contribution margin per unit is $7
Explanation:
The contribution margin per unit can be defined as the difference between the selling price per unit and the variable cost per unit.
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price - Variable cost
Contribution margin per unit = $12 - $5
Contribution margin per unit = $7
The contribution margin per unit is $7
Financial leverage: Group of answer choices is the ratio of a firm's revenues to its fixed expenses. is equal to the market value of a firm divided by the firm's book value. increases the potential return to the stockholders. is inversely related to the level of debt. increases as the net working capital increases.
Answer: Increases the potential return to the stockholders.
Explanation:
Financial Leverage is the use of more debt to fund company assets. This can lead to higher potential returns to the Stockholders if the interest rate attached to the debt is less than the Company's required rate of return. That way, the difference between the rates will bring about a positive return for shareholders.
Also, having more debt provides a sort of tax shield to the earnings of the Stockholders because Debt is Tax Deductible. This will therefore increase the earnings going to the Stockholders.

In your opinion, does having two different existing labor federations (AFL-CIO and Change to Win) strengthen or weaken the ability of organized labor to represent the interests of employees today? Support your position.
Answer:
They weaken their ability to represent the interests of employees
Explanation:
The two organizations American Federation of Labor(AFL) and Congress of Industrial organizations(CIO) work differently regarding their approach to representing labor or employees. They have had disagreements in the past, from CIO breaking out of AFL to some violent exchanges and differing policies to representing labour. These differences make it less effective to represent employees as these unions are not entirely unified.
Students arrive at the Administrative Services Office at an average of one every 15 minutes, and their requests take on average 10 minutes to be processed. The service counter is staffed by only one clerk, Judy Gumshoes, who works eight hours per day. Assume Poisson arrivals and exponential service times.
Required:
a. What percentage of time is Judy idle?
b. How much time, on average, does a student spend waiting in line?
c. How long is the (waiting) line on average?
d. What is the probability that an arriving student (just before entering the Administrative Services Office) will find at least one other student waiting in line?
The actual usage for grain depends on which llamas show up at feeding time, thus there is an average need for 50 pounds of grain each day with a standard deviation of five pounds. In addition, there is some variability in how long it takes the feed store to whip up a batch of llama feed. The standard deviation of the feed prep is one day. The farm is willing to tolerate a 2% chance of running out of feed before they can get some more hauled in. Which adjustment to their system would have the greatest impact on the reorder point? A. increase the standard deviation of daily demand to 10 pounds O B. reduce the average daily demand to 45 pounds O c. lower the standard deviation of the lead time to one half of a day OD. decrease the service level to 90
Answer:
The adjustment to system that would have the greatest impact on the reorder point is:
c. lower the standard deviation of the lead time to one half of a day.
Explanation:
Other listed options discussed issues not affecting the reorder point. It is the lead time that impacts the reorder point and directly affects the total inventory levels. The lead time sums the time occasioned by supply delay or how long the shipment of an order takes to reach the warehouse to the reordering delay or the time it takes to place an order after receiving the requisition or attaining the reorder point.
The profit leverage effect (ratio) is calculated by A. dividing 1.0 by the profit margin. B. dividing pretax earnings by the cost of goods sold. C. dividing sales by the cost of goods sold. D. none of the above
Answer:
D. none of the above
Explanation:
The profit leverage effect shows that in order to increase net profits, it is better and more efficient to reduce operating expenses rather than increasing total net sales revenue. I.e. a $1 decrease in costs increases operating profits by $1, which is much more than the increase resulting from increasing sales by $1.
The following data are for Paso Robles Company for the year ended 2009 December 31: Costs: Direct material $ 90,000 Direct labor 130,000 Manufacturing overhead: Variable 45,000 Fixed 90,000 Sales commissions (variable) 25,000 Sales salaries (fixed) 20,000 Administrative expenses (fixed) 35,000 Selling price per unit $ 10 Units produced and sold 60,000 Assume direct materials and direct labor are variable costs. Prepare a contribution margin income statement and a traditional income statement.
Answer:
Net operating income= 165,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
We need to make a contribution format income statement.
First, we will calculate the total variable cost:
Direct material= 90,000
Direct labor= 130,000
Variable overhead= 45,000
Sales commissions (variable)= 25,000
Total variable cost= 290,000
Contribution margin income statement:
Sales= 60,000*10= 600,000
Total variable cost= (290,000)
Total contribution margin= 310,000
Fixed overhead= (90,000)
Sales salaries (fixed)= (20,000)
Administrative expenses (fixed)= (35,000)
Net operating income= 165,000

J. Sugumaran's machine shop has three stations. The first station can process a unit in 9 minutes. The second station has three identical machines, each of which can process a unit in 15 minutes (each unit only needs to be processed on one of the three machines). The third station can process a unit in 7 minutes. Which station is the bottleneck station?
Answer:
Station 1 is a bottleneck station because the processing time taken to process the product in such station is 9 minute when compared with Station 2 and Station 3
Explanation:
Station 1 = Processing time is 9 minutes
Station 2 = Processing time is 5 minutes per unit (15 minutes / 3 machines)
Station 3 = Processing time is 7 minutes
Thus, the Station 1 is the bottleneck station with a bottleneck time of 9 minutes per unit.
