Answer:
No
Explanation:
The information that Duncan McDougall has discovered does not prove the existence of a Cartesian Soul because it does not clearly tie the missing weight to the soul. Other scientists believe that the lost weight upon death is simply due to the body's excessive sweating and that the lost weight can be accounted for as liquids that have left the body and not a Cartesian Soul. Therefore, unless there is a clear and undeniable link between the lost body weight and a Cartesian Soul it does not prove anything.

a community hospital in pennsylvania has a 15% supply expense ratio. If total operating expenses are $1 million this month, what is the total annual cost of supplies
Answer:
$150,000
Explanation:
The question says that the total operating expenses of the hospital is 1 million, while also saying that it has a supply expense ratio of 15%. An expense ratio can be by dividing a fund's total operating expenses it's average dollar value of its assets under it's management. This is what gave us the 15% we got in the question. Now, to get the total supply cost in dollars (not percentage), all we is multiply the percentage by the total cost we were given. Thus,
Total annual cost of supply =
15% * 1,000,000 =
15/100 * 1,000,000 =
$150,000.
Therefore, the total annual cost of supply is $150,000
Wandering RV is evaluating a capital budgeting project that is expected to generate $36,950 per year during its six-year life. If its required rate of return is 10 percent, what is the value of the project to Wandering RV?
Answer:
the value of the project is $16,096.88
Explanation:
The computation of the value of the project is shown below:
= (Expected amount generated per year × (1 - (1 ++ rate of returm)^-time period )) ÷ rate of return
= $36,950 × [1 - 1.1^-6] ÷ 0.1
= $16,0926.88
Hence, the value of the project is $16,096.88
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

Find the future value one year from now of an $8,000 investment at a 3 percent annual compound interest rate. Also calculate the future value if the investment is made for two years.
Answer:
If investment is made for one year, Future value = $8240
If investment is made for two years, Future value = $8487.2
Explanation:
The future value of a cash flow can be calculated using the following formula,
Future value = Present value * (1+i)^t
Where,
i is the rate of interest t is the time periodAs the interest rate is compounded annually, the future value after one year will be,
After one year
Future value = 8000 * (1+0.03)^1
Future value = $8240
After two year
Future value = 8000 * (1+0.03)^2
Future value = $8487.2
A company expects to sell 15,000 units in the first quarter, 18,000 units in the second quarter, and 20,000 units in the third quarter. The company desires to maintain an inventory at the end of each quarter equal to 10% of next quarter expected sales. How many units does the company plan to produce in the second quarter?
Answer:
the number of units produced in the second quarter is 18,200 units
Explanation:
The computation of the number of units that have to plan for producing in the second quarter is shown below:
= Sales units - opening inventory units + closing inventory units
= 18,000 units - (18,000 units × 10%) + (20,000 units × 10%)
= 18,000 units - 1,800 units + 2,000 units
= 18,200 units
hence, the number of units produced in the second quarter is 18,200 units

What amount of cash does each partner receive as a result of this liquidation?Multiple ChoicePlaya, $16,000; Bahia, $23,000; Arco, $24,000.Playa, $19,200; Bahia, $14,400; Arco, $14,400.Playa, $6,000; Bahia, $4,500; Arco, $4,500.Playa, $10,000; Bahia, $18,500; Arco, $19,500.
Answer:
Playa, $10,000; Bahia, $18,500; Arco, $19,500.
Explanation:
Cash $33,000
Other assets $100,000
Total $133,000
Liabilities $50,000
Playa, capital (40%) $24,000
Bahia, capital (30%) $29,000
Arco, capital (30%) $30,000
Total $133,000
other assets sold for $80,000 resulting in a $20,000 loss
cash = $33,000 + $80,000 = $113,000
- liabilities ($50,000)
$63,000
- liquidation expenses ($15,000)
remaining cash $48,000
total loss = $20,000 + $15,000 = $35,000
partners' share of loss:
Playa = $14,000
Bahia = $10,500
Arco = $10,500
remaining capital accounts:
Playa = $24,000 - $14,000 = $10,000
Bahia = $29,000 - $10,500 = $18,500
Arco = $30,000 - $10,500 = $19,500
The Jewel Golf Club Company, which recently began using a Kanban system, has had problems with high inventory levels of one of the handle grips used to make several versions of its clubs. Daily demand for the grip is 3000 units, average waiting time during production is 0.20 day, processing time is 0.10 day per container, and a container holds 150 grips. How many Kanban containers would Jewel require if a 15% policy variable is used?
a. three or fewer
b. four or five
c. six or seven
d. eight or more
Answer:
c. six or seven
Explanation:
The computation of the number of kanban containers required is shown below:
Number of Kanbans = (Average Demand During lead Time + Safety Stock) ÷ Size of container
= (3,000 units × 0.3 + 0.15 × 3000 × 0.3) ÷ (150)
= (900 + 135) ÷ 150
= 6.9
So the number of kanbans required is 6.9 i.e. it lies between six or seven
hence the correct option is c.

A $5,000 face value bond has a coupon rate of 6.5%, sells for $5,937, and matures in 7 years. What is its yield to maturity?a. 3.44%.b. 5.47%.c. 6.12%.d. 4.08%.
Answer:
YTM = 0.03495343461 or 3.495343461% rounded off to 3.50%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity or YTM is the yield or return that an investor can earn on the bond if the bond is purchased today and is held till the bond matures. The formula to calculate the Yield to maturity of a bond is as follows,
YTM = [ ( C + (F - P / n)) / (F + P / 2) ]
Where,
C is the coupon payment
F is the Face value of the bond
P is the current value of the bond
n is the number of years to maturity
Assuming that the bond pays coupon annually,
Coupon payment = 5000 * 0.065 = $325
Number of periods remaining till maturity = 7
YTM = [ (325 + (5000 - 5937 / 7)) / (5000 + 5937 / 2)
YTM = 0.03495343461 or 3.495343461% rounded off to 3.50%

b.
abstinence: the best protection
c.
read at least 20 minutes a day
d.
staying in school is cool
Answer: d. staying in school is cool
Explanation:
An elementary school has children who have grown past childhood but have not yet reached teenagerhood. Persuasive topics for them would therefore have to be tailored to their level of understanding.
Based on the options, the best would be to teach them to stay in school. The origins of Santa Claus is for their juniors and abstinence is for their seniors as well as reading 20 minutes a day. Staying in school is great for their age as it instils the values of education at a time they can understand it.
Which of the following choices include only accounts that appear in the asset section of the balance sheet?Multiple Choice Prepaid supplies, unearned revenue, accounts payable Accounts payable, equipment, prepaid insurance Cash, prepaid rent, accounts receivables Common stock, prepaid rent, notes payable
Answer:
C. Cash, prepaid rent, accounts receivables.
Explanation:
A balance sheet can be defined as the financial statement that gives a detailed summary of the financial balance of a business firm or individual at a specific period of time. Therefore, it typically comprises of assets, liabilities, capital, debt, equity etc.
In Financial accounting, Accounts Receivable are considered to be a current asset because it is the payment a business firm would receive from its customers for goods purchased or services taken on credit. Also, cash, rent and accounts receivable are recorded in the current assets section of the balance sheet because they add value to a business firm.
Generally, current assets are considered to be liquid because they are listed on the balance sheet in the order (descending) in which they are expected to turn or be converted to cash within a relatively short term period.
Hence, account receivables, cash and rent are assets on the balance sheet, which are listed in order of liquidity.
The choice that include only accounts that appear in the asset section of the balance sheet are Cash, prepaid rent, and accounts receivables.
Ming Company had net income of exist767, 200 based on variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 7, 300 units and 4, 700 units, respectively. Assume the fixed overhead per unit was exist2.50 for both the beginning and ending inventory. What is net income under absorption costing? When the number of units sold exceeds the number of units produced, net income under absorption costing will be: Lower than income using variable costing The difference in income is equal to: The number of units subtracted from inventory multiplied by the fixed overhead per unit Net Income under variable costing Fixed overhead per unit Net income under absorption costing
Answer:
Part 1
Absorption Costing Net Income = $760,700
Part 2
Income under absorption costing will be: Lower than income using variable costing
Explanation:
The difference in net income under absorption costing and variable costing is because of fixed costs that are in closing inventory.
If we are given net income under one method we can find the net income under the other method by performing a reconciliation as follows :
Reconciliation of Variable Costing Income to Absorption Costing Income
Variable Costing Net Income $767, 200
Add fixed cost in closing stock (4, 700 × $2.50) $11,750
Less fixed costs in opening stock (7, 300 × $2.50) ($18,250)
Absorption Costing Net Income $760,700

OCF from Several Approaches [L01] A proposed new project has projected sales of $125,000, costs of $59,000, and depreciation of $12,800. The tax rate is 35 percent. Calculate operating cash flow using the four different approaches described in the chapter and verify that the answer is the same in each case.
Answer:
Please see below
Explanation:
In order to calculate the operating cash flow, we will get the value of net income. The income statement is calculated as;
Sales
$125,000
Less :
Costs
($59,000)
Depreciation
($12,800)
EBIT
$53,200
Less tax 35%
($18,620)
Net income
$34,580
1. Using the tax shield method
OCF = (Sales - Costs)(1 - Tax) + Tax(Depreciation)
OCF = ($125,000 - $59,000)(1 - 35%) + 35%($12,800)
OCF = ($66,000)(0.65) + $4,480
OCF = $42,900 + $4,480
OCF = 47,380
2. Using the financial calculation
OCF = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
OCF = $53,200 + $12,800 - $18,620
OCF = $47,380
3. Using the top down approach
OCF = Sales - Costs - Taxes
OCF = $125,000 - $59,000 - $18,620
OCF = $47,380
4. Using the bottom up approach
OCF = Net income + Depreciation
OCF = $34,580 + $12,800
OCF = $47,380

You would like to invest $24,000 and have a portfolio expected return of 11.5 percent. You are considering two securities, A and B. Stock A has an expected return of 18.6 percent and B has an expected return of 7.4 percent. Approximately how much should you invest in Stock A if you invest the balance in Stock B? a) $7,137 b) $7,411 c) $8,786 d) $8,626 e) $7,807
Answer:
c) $8,786
Explanation:
0.186A + 0.074B = (24,000 x 0.115)
0.186A + 0.074B = 2,760
A + B = 24,000
where A = amount invested in stock A and B = amount invested in stock B
A = 24,000 - B
0.186(24,000 - B) + 0.074B = 2,760
4,464 - 0.186B + 0.074B = 2,760
4,464 - 0.112B = 2,760
4,464 - 2,760 = 0.112B
1,704 = 0.112B
B = 1,704 / 0.112 = $15,214.29
A = $24,000 - $15,214.29 = $8,785.71 ≈ $8,786
