(b)For the agreement, Seattle Shoestring Sales is not liable to sell any specific amount.
(c)The fact that price of cotton went higher would also be considered by the court.
(d) The court or arbitrator cannot impose the contract after increasing the per-pair contract price to account for the increase in price of cotton, due to the mentioned deliberation.
Explanation:
Solution
(a)Enforceable contract is a contract that is correct. but it cannot be forced by the court.
The contract entered by Seattle Shoestring Sales, Incorporation and Victory, Incorporation was correct.
So, the consideration of the agreement would restrict the court from resisting the agreement if Seattle Shoestring Sales denies fulfilling its promise.
The main reason behind this is that in the terms of agreement specific quantity of was not stated.
(b)As per the agreement, Seattle Shoestring Sales is not liable to sell any specific amount.
(c)The fact that price of cotton dramatically increased would also be considered by the court.
(d)The court or arbitrator cannot enforce the contract after increasing the per-pair contract price to account for the increase in price of cotton, due to the mentioned consideration.
Pettygrove Company had 1,700,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. The amount of additional paid-in capital is $8,500,000, and Retained Earnings is $2,550,000. The company issues a 2-for-1 stock split. The market price of the stock is $11. What is the balance in the Common Stock account after this issuance
Answer:
$17,000,000
Explanation:
Balance in common stock after the issuance = $1700,000 x $10
Balance in common stock after the issuance = $17,000,000
You can't find difference between balance of common stock, additional paid-in capital, and retained earnings when a company issues a stock split But there would be surely a change in par value and number of outstanding shares. Market value of share will either increase or decrease.
PLEASE HELP urgent The division is evaluating a project requiring a capital cost of $254,000. The project has an estimated life of four years and no salvage value. The estimated net income and net cash flow from the project are as follows: look at screenshot* The company's minimum desired rate of return is 12%. The present value of $1 at compound interest of 12% for 1, 2, 3, and 4 years is .893, .797, .712, and .636, respectively. 1. Determine the average rate of return on investment 2. Determine the Net Present Value
Answer:
1. Average rate of return on investment = 12.11%
2. Net Present Value = – $14,845.09
Explanation:
1. Determine the average rate of return on investment
Average rate of return on investment is the total net incomes from an investment divided the estimated life of the investment, and this is then divided by the cost of acquisition of the investment. This can be calculated for this question as follows:
Average income = Total net income / Estimated life = 123,000 / 4 = $30,750
Average rate of return on investment = Average income / Acquisition cost = $30,750 / $254,000 = 0.1211, or 12.11%
2. Determine the Net Present Value
Net present value is the difference between the present value of the acquisition of an investment and sum of the present values of all the net flows from the investment over its useful life.
Note: See the attached excel file to see how the net present value (NPV) is calculated.
Net Present Value = – $14,845.09
Conclusion
Since the Net Present Value is negative, it therefore implies the project is not a good investment.
Dolan Company's accounting records reflect the following inventories:
Dec.31, 2013 Dec.31, 2012
Raw materials inventory $310,000 $260,000
Work in process inventory 300,000 160,000
Finished goods inventory 190,000 150,000
During 2013, $600,000 of raw materials were purchased, direct labor costs amounted to $500,000, and manufacturing overhead incurred was $480,000.
Dolan Company's total manufacturing costs incurred in 2013 amounted to________.
Answer:
cost of goods manufactured= $1,770,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Dec.31, 2013 Dec.31, 2012
Raw materials inventory $310,000 $260,000
Work in process inventory 300,000 160,000
During 2013, $600,000 of raw materials were purchased, direct labor costs amounted to $500,000, and manufacturing overhead incurred was $480,000.
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials used + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 300,000 + (310,000 + 600,000 - 260,000) + 500,000 + 480,000 - 160,000
cost of goods manufactured= $1,770,000
Question 16 (3 points) The 2011 and 2012 Balance Sheets for Jacob, Inc. contained the following entries: 12/31/201112/31/2012 Accounts receivable$206$116 Inventories$590$603 Net fixed assets$102$307 Accounts payable$329$333 Jacob had materials purchases in 2011 of $1,689 and materials purchases in 2012 of $2,770 . What did Jacob record as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on its 2012 income statement
Answer:
$2,857
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold (COGS) refers to the relevant cost incurred to acquire or produce the products being sold a company during a particular period.
The formula for calculating the COGS is as follows:
COGS = Beginning inventories + Purchases - Ending inventories
From the question, we have the following for 2012:
Beginning stock = $590
Purchases = $2,770
Ending inventory = 503
Therefore, we have:
COGS for 2012 = $590 + $2,770 - $503 = $2,857
Therefore, Jacob should record $2,857 as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on its 2012 income statement.
"Parker Company stock is currently selling for $130.00 per share and the firm's dividends are expected to grow at 6 percent indefinitely. Assuming Parker's most recent dividend was $5.50, what is the required rate of return on Parker's stock
Answer:
Cost of equity = 10.7%
Explanation:
We will work out the required rate of return using the the dividend valuation model. The model states that the value of a stock is the present value of the future divided discounted at the cost of equity.
The model is given below:
P = D× (1+g)/(r-g)
P- price of stock, D- dividend payable now, g- growth rate in dividend, r- cost of equity
So we substitute
130 = 5.50× (1+r)/(r-0.06)
cross multiplying
(r-0.06)× 130 = 5.50 × (1+r)
130 r- 7.8 = 5.50 + 5.50r
collecting like terms
130 r - 5.50r=5.50 + 7.8
124.5 r= 13.3
Divide both sides by 124.5
r =13.3 /124.5= 0.1068
r=0.1068 × 100= 10.7%
Cost of equity = 10.7%
The Morris Corporation has $350,000 of debt outstanding, and it pays an interest rate of 8% annually. Morris's annual sales are $1.75 million, its average tax rate is 30%, and its net profit margin on sales is 8%. If the company does not maintain a TIE ratio of at least 3 to 1, its bank will refuse to renew the loan and bankruptcy will result. What is Morris's TIE ratio? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
8.14 times
Explanation:
The computation of the Time interest earned ratio is shown below:
As we know that
Times interest earned ratio = (Earnings before interest and taxes) ÷ (Interest expense)
where,
Earnings before interest and taxes = Income before income tax for the year + Interest expense
But before tha, we need to do the following calculations
The interest amount is
= $350,000 × 0.08
= $28,000
The net profit is
= $1,750,000 × 8%
= $140,000
The EBIT is
= Profit before tax + interest expense
= $140,000 ÷ (1 - 0.30) + $28,000
= $200,000 + $28,000
= $228,000
And, the interest expense is $28,000
So, the TIE ratio is
= $228,000 ÷ $28,000
= 8.14 times
Under the First Amendment, commercial speech is:
a. subject to intermediate scrutiny unlike political speech.
b. completely suppressed regardless of it being misleading or truthful.
c. subject to strict scrutiny just like political speech.
d. completely unregulated unless it is put in writing.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: subject to intermediate scrutiny unlike political speech.
Explanation:
On the one hand, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution is the law that basically protects the rights of the people to have a free speech and moreover, establishes that the government can not intervene in an establishment of religion and prohibits the free exercise of religion.
On the other hand, the Commercial Speech under the First Amendment is seen as a particular case of speech due to the fact that this one can be harmful for the people and therefore can be fraudulent to them and in order to prevent that from happening the First Amendment does not protect so much the commercial speech and this last one is far more regulate it by the government than political speech.

In a reorder point problem where both demand and lead time are variable, demand averages 200 units per day with a daily variance of 64, and lead time averages 6 days with a standard deviation of 1 day. What should the reorder point be for a 95% service level?
Answer:
~ 1561.235
Explanation:
Given :
[tex]Z=1.645[/tex]
[tex]d = 200\ \\variance =64[/tex]
Standard deviation can be determined by the [tex]\sqrt{variance }[/tex]
Standard deviation=SD
=[tex]\sqrt{64}\ =\ 8[/tex]
[tex]LT = 6\[/tex]
σ = 8
Now using the formula
[tex]R\ =\ d \ *\ LT\ +Z\ \sqrt{LT^{2}\ +SD^{2} \ +\ d\ \sigma\ ^{2} } \\\\Putting\ the\ respective\ value\ we\ get \\R=200 * 6 + 1.645\sqrt{6 * 8^2 + 200 *1^2}[/tex]
R=1561.235
~ 1561.235
Waterway’s Market recorded the following events involving a recent purchase of merchandise:
Received goods for $75000, terms 1/10, n/30.
Returned $1100 of the shipment for credit.
Paid $400 freight on the shipment.
Paid the invoice within the discount period.
As a result of these events, the company’s inventory increased by:_______.
Answer:
$73,561
Explanation:
The computation of inventory increased is shown below:-
Inventory increase = (Received goods - Returned goods) × (1 - 0.01) + Freight charges
= ($75,000 - $1,100) × 0.99 + $400
= $73,900 × 0.99 + $400
= $73,161 + $400
= $73,561
Therefore for computing the increased inventory we have simply applied the above formula.
There is often litter along highways but rarely in people's yards. Which of the following statements help explain this observation?
a. Littering on the highway generates a positive externality.
b. The private cost of littering on the highway is low.
c. The private cost of littering on your own yard exceeds the social cost.
Answer:
The answer is A and C
Explanation:
Solution
Social costs refers to the total cost of an activity incurred by society.
Private costs are direct costs incurred by an individual
Frequently there is liter along the high ways but rarely in people's yards because the social cost of littering is more than private cost. since the society must bear the negative externality, the social cost is more and the private cost is less.
The private cost is higher when one liters on his own yard as the cost is only borne or carried by the owner and not the society.
A manufacturer sells 50 boats per month at $25000 per boat, and each month demand is increasing at a rate of 4 boats per month. What is the fastest you could drop your price before your monthly revenue starts to drop
Answer:
For the revenue per month to drop, the price per boat per month has to drop more than $2,000
Explanation:
Given:
Number of boats sold per month = 50
Cost of each boat = $25,000
Each month demand increases at a rate of 4 boats per month.
Required:
Find the fastest price could drop before monthly revenue starts to drop.
Revenue, R = Price × Quantity
R = P × Q
Differntiate both sides with respect to time, t:
[tex] \frac{dR}{dt} = \frac{dP}{dt} Q + \frac{dQ}{dt} P [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{dP}{dt} 50 + 4 * 25,000[/tex]
For the fastest price could drop before monthly revenue starts to drop, [tex] \frac{dR}{dt} < 0 [/tex]
Thus,
[tex] = \frac{dP}{dt} 50 + 4 * 25,000 < 0[/tex]
[tex] = \frac{dP}{dt} 50 + 100,000 < 0[/tex]
[tex] = \frac{dP}{dt} 50 < -100,000 [/tex]
[tex] \frac{dP}{dt} = \frac{-100,000}{50} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{dP}{dt} = -2,000[/tex]
Since the answer is negative, it indicates a drop in price.
Therefore, for the revenue per month to drop, the price per boat per month has to drop more than $2,000

Remsco has taxable income of $61,000 and a charitable contribution limit modified taxable income of $72,500. Its charitable contributions for the year were $7,540. What is Remsco's current-year charitable contribution deduction and contribution carryover
Answer:
Remsco's current-year charitable contribution deduction is $7,250
Contribution carryover is $ 290
Explanation:
Taxable income = $61,000
Charitable contribution limit modified taxable income = $72,500
Charitable contributions for the year = $7,540
Since, charitable contribution deduction is limited to 10% of charitable contribution limit modified taxable income ,
Remsco's current-year charitable contribution deduction = $72,500 x 10%
= $7,250
Therefore, contribution carryover = $7,540 - $7,250 = $ 290
In a production budget, if the number of units expected to be sold during the year is 8,000, the number of units desired in ending inventory is 470 units, and the number of units in beginning inventory is 510 units, the total production for the year is
Answer:
Production= 7,960 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 8,000 units
Desired ending inventory= 470 units
Beginning inventory= 510 units
To calculate production, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 8,000 + 470 - 510
Production= 7,960 units
A company pays its employees $4,250 each Friday, which amounts to $850 per day for the five-day workweek that begins on Monday. If the monthly accounting period ends on Thursday and the employees worked through Thursday, the amount of salaries earned but unpaid at the end of the accounting period is:
Answer:
$3,400
Explanation:
Out of five day workweek, accounting period ends on Thursday which indicates that employees work only for 4 days. Therefore, salaries are earned only for 4 working days and unpaid at the end of the accounting period
Salaries earned but unpaid= 4 working days * $850 per day = $3,400
Hence, salaries earned but unpaid at the end of the account period is $3,400
Street & Smith publishes the same baseball magazine with exactly the same stories but with 16 different covers to appeal to baseball fans in 16 different regions of the U.S. What is the market segmentation strategy?
Answer:
The answer is 'One product and multiple market segments'
Explanation:
The market segmentation strategy here is One product and multiple market segments.
The product is one product(the magazine story) and this one product (same story) covers 16 different regions of the U.S i.e the same product is selling in 17 market segments.
The advantage of this strategy is that it helps to avoid the additional costs of developing and producing additional versions of the product.
Consider three closed economies. In the first economy, households spend $0.50 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.50. In the second economy, households are satiated, so they do not spend anything of each additional dollar they earn (they save it all). In the third economy, households spend a whole dollar of each additional dollar they earn (they don't save anything). Which of the following statements is correct?
a. In the second economy, the spending multiplier is greater than in the third economy. In the first economy, the spending multiplier is undefined
b. In the first economy, the spending multiplier is greater than in the second economy. In the third economy, the spending multiplier is undefined
c. In the third economy, the spending multiplier is greater than in the second economy. In the first economy, the spending multiplier is undefined
d. In the first economy, the spending multiplier is lower than in the second economy. In the third economy, the spending multiplier is undefined
Answer:
b. In the first economy, the spending multiplier is greater than in the second economy. In the third economy, the spending multiplier is undefined
Explanation:
This can be easily understood by going through some calculations in a spending multiplier formula.
WORKINGS
The formula for Spending Multiplier = [tex]\frac{1}{MPS}[/tex]
Spending Multiplier
Economy 1: Multiplier = [tex]\frac{1}{0.5}[/tex] = 2
Economy 2: Multiplier = [tex]\frac{1}{1}[/tex] = 1
Economy 3: Multiplier = [tex]\frac{1}{0}[/tex] = undefined
Note: MPS can be abbreviated as Marginal propensity to save
As we can see here economy 1 is 50% greater than economy 2 and economy 3 is undefined because they spend whole dollar they earn additionally.
On behalf of the above calculations, option B is a perfect match!
A new company plans to lose money for the first 5 years of its existence. They think they will lose $4,000,000 in year 1 and the losses are expected to decrease by $150,000 per year for the next three years. At 8% MARR what is the Annual Worth of their losses
Answer:
The answer is $3,789.363
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
For the first 5 years of functioning, a new company plans to lose money.
In the first year they think they will lose money of the amount = $4,000,000
The expected decrease (losses) is =$150,000 (next three years)
MARR = 8%
Now
We find the annual worth losses which is given below:
Annual worth = $4,000,000 - $150,000(A/G, 8%, 4)
(A/G,i, N) = 1/i - N/(1 +i)^N -1
= 1/0.08 - 4/(1 + 0.08)^4 -1
= 12.5 -4/1.360488961 -1
=12.5 - 11.09606977
=1.40425
Thus,
AW = $4,000,000 - $150,000 ( 1.40425)
AW = $4,000,000 -$210637.5
AW = $3,789. 363
Therefore, the annual worth pf their losses is $3,789.363

Explanation:
John and Mary Rich invested $15,000 in a savings account paying 5.25% interest at the time their son, Mike, was born. The money is to be used by Mike for his college education. On his 18th birthday, Mike withdraws the money from his savings account. How much did Mike withdraw from his account?
Answer:
The amount that Mike withdraws from his account is $37678.11265
Explanation:
This question requires to calculate the future value of the amount invested at a rate of 5.25% for 18 years. We will simply use the formula for future value.
The formula for future value is,
FV = Present Value * (1+r)^t
Where,
r is the interest rate t is the time period Here the time period is in years and is 18 years or t = 18FV = 15000 * (1+0.0525)^18
FV = $37678.11265
A bank is earning 6 percent on its $150 million in earning assets and is paying 4.75 percent on its liabilities. The bank's interest rate spread is __________. Multiple Choice 1.25 percent 1.26 percent 4.75 percent 6.00 percent 10.75 percent
Answer:
1.25 percent
Explanation:
Relevant data provided
Interest earned = 6%
Interest paid on liabilities = 4.75%
The computation of interest rate spread is shown below:-
Interest rate spread = Interest earned - Interest paid on liabilities
= 6% - 4.75%
= 1.25%
Therefore for computing the interest rate spread we simply applied the above formula and ignore all other amount as it is not relevant.
Legal changes create new entrepreneurial opportunities. Take for instance, the Supreme Court decision that permitted lawyers to advertise and promote their services. Questions: (A) Explain how it has changed the legal profession (B) Identify a specific legal firm that you see exploiting this particular court ruling (C) Identify some regulatory changes in the area of Clean Environment and resulting opportunities for new venture creation (use specific examples/cases to explain your position)
Answer:
(a) Many state bar affiliations have looked to make their advertising guidelines increasingly stiff, seemingly in the fact that the picture of the legal calling has been lasting of late. for instance attempts to clarify these changes endeavors by looking at whether bar affiliations are reacting to requests of individuals as revealed by mentalities as regards to advertising
(b)Now let us take the case of law firm Bates where U.S Preeminent Court choices are not having their anticipated impacts and that advertising by legal advisors is misleading and worsen, making an atmosphere ready for change.
Also, another alternative may be having their expected impacts of driving down costs and enabling youthful firms/lawyers to look for customers all the more adequately.
(c) Utilizing study information of little firm legal advisors amass in four states before the change development got a lot of contemplation, the proof advocates neither of these clarifications represents endeavors to make advertising progressively troublesome. the little firm legal counselors, those that indicate to profit by Bates and ensuing choices, have not changed their conduct in any assessed or measured way.
Explanation:
Solution
Many state bar affiliations have looked to make their advertising guidelines increasingly rigid, apparently in light of the fact that the picture of the legal calling has been enduring lately.
This example tries to clarify these changes endeavors by looking at whether bar affiliations are reacting to requests of individuals as exhibited by mentalities towards advertising, just as by their advertising practices.
For example let us take the case of law firm Bates where U.S Preeminent Court choices are not having their expected impacts and that advertising by legal advisors is misdirecting and compounding, making an atmosphere ready for change
Then again, the choices may be having their expected impacts of driving down costs and permitting youthful firms/lawyers to look for customers all the more adequately.
Utilizing study information of little firm legal advisors accumulated in four states before the change development got a lot of consideration, the proof recommends neither of these clarifications represents endeavors to make advertising progressively troublesome.
The little firm legal counselors, those suggested to profit by Bates and ensuing choices, have not changed their conduct in any calculable way.
Most advertising is in the business catalog and costs practically nothing, also mentalities toward advertising are not especially ideal.
Cutco product line includes more than 100 choices. Is it realistic to think Cutco can enter global markets with all of its products for each market every time they consider a new market entry?
Answer:
On the balance of probability, they will have issues with brand acceptance. It is therefore not realistic that they can enter the global market with all the products at each point of entry.
Explanation:
The principles of marketing that to many choices may create confusion in the mind of the consumers. The cost of advertising and presenting the over 100 product lines to the new market will most likely sink the company.
The safest thing to do is to go into the markets with its best products in terms of the products with potential for quick acceptance, low competition in the new market and which also ranks high amongst the cash cows.
Cheers!

The computation of the long term liabilities is shown below:
As we know that the long term liabilities are the liabilities which are due for the next months
In the given question, there is a note payable which is due on June 30, 2021 and we have to find the long term liabilities for Dec 31,2020 so it is made only 6 months but we required 12 months So the note payable is treated as a current liabilities
So, the amount should be $0 in this case
Consider a lake found in the town of Center Barnstead, and then answer the questions that follow.
The town has a hiking lodge whose visitors use the lake for recreation. The town also has a fish cannery that dumps industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the fish cannery's waste decreases the hiking lodge's economic profit.
Suppose that the chemical plant could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the hiking lodge would no longer be affected. If the chemical plant uses the recycling method, then the chemical plant's economic profit is $1,400 per week, and the hiking lodge's economic profit is $2,700 per week. If the chemical plant does not use the recycling
method, then the chemical plant's economic profit is $2,200 per week, and the hiking lodge's economic profit is $1,500 per week. These figures are summarized in the following table.
Complete the following table by computing the total profit (the chemical plant's economic profit and the hiking lodge's economic profit combined) with and without recycling.

a. Total profit without recycling is $3,700, while Total profit with recycling is $41,000.
b. Total economic profit is highest when the recycling production method is: implemented or utilized.
Explanation:
a. Complete the following table by computing the total profit (the chemical plant's economic profit and the hiking lodge's economic profit combined) with and without recycling.
These can be computed by adding the profit under the two scenario as follows:
Total profit without recycling = Chemical plant's economic profit without recycling + Hiking lodge's economic profit without recycling = $2,200 + $1,500 = $3,700
Total profit with recycling = Chemical plant's economic profit with recycling + Hiking lodge's economic profit with recycling = $1,400 + $2,700 = $4,100
The table can therefore be reproduced as follows:
Action Chemical Plant Hiking Lodge Total
No recycling $2,200 $1,500 $3,700
Recycling $1,400 $2,700 $4,100
b. Total economic profit is highest when the recycling production method is:________
From part a. above, total economic profit is highest when the recycling production method is: implemented or utilized.
The reason is that total profit with recycling of $4,100 is greater than total profit without recycling of $3,700.
Based on the table, the Center Barnstead Town receives more economic benefit when the Fish Cannery recycles the industrial waste.
Though, Cannery's revenue drops by $800 ($2,200 - $1,400), the Hiking Lodge's revenue increases by $1,200 ($2,700 - $1,500). These results cause the net total revenue for the town to increase by $400 ($1,200 - $800) plus the cleaner ecosystem.
Data and Calculations:
Action Chemical Plant Hiking Lodge Total
No recycling $2,200 $1,500 $3,700 ($2,200 + $1,500)
Recycling $1,400 $2,700 $4,100 ($1,400 + $2,700)
Total increase in Revenue with recycling = $400 ($4,100 - $3,700)
Thus, it is in the best economic interest of the town to ensure that the Cannery recycles the waste.
