Kahn of Portland Oregon sent a letter to Lischner of Los Angeles inquiring whether Kushner’s property in Humboldt County was for sale. Lischner replied that he was interested in selling and asked Kahn about the fair market value. Kahn wrote that it was difficult to make an offer without a legal description of the property and asked for it and the annual taxes. These were provided by Lischner. Subsequently, Kahn wrote, "I hesitate to place a value on someone else’s property, but I can tell you that I have been offered a similar track of property for $2,000. Since your property is closer to mine, I would prefer to buy yours, and offer a four-year term contract at a total price of $2,500." The two parties ultimately agreed on a cash price of $2,500. Shortly after contracting with Kahn, Lischner went to Humboldt county and readily learned, upon the most superficial inquiry that the property was worth more than $2,500. He sold the property to Pacoima Lumber Sales, Inc. for $7,500. Thereupon, Kahn sued Lischner for $5,000. Lischner responded that he had been induced to contract by a fraudulent misrepresentation as to the value of the property by Kahn and therefore could rescind their contract of sale.What are the elements that must be present for fraudulent misrepresentation? Did Kahn commit fraud? Why, or why not.
Answer:
Misrepresentation & Fraud:
a) Elements for Fraudulent Misrepresentation:
1) A representation was in fact made: This means that it was not just a mere opinion expressed by the party misrepresenting.
2) That particular representation was false: The statement made was untrue.
3) The defendant had knowledge that the representation was false: The misrepresentation was intentional on the party of the defendant.
4) The statement was made with the intention that the other party rely on it and enter into a contract or agreement: The defendant was out to induce the other party to enter the contract.
b) Kahn committed a fraud since he intentionally induced Lischner to contract on the basis of fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedy available for Lischner is to rescind the contract.
Explanation:
a) Fraudulent misrepresentation is the presentation of false facts by someone who attempts to persuade another into action with the intent to deceive. The remedy available to the deceived party is to rescind the contract or to plea for damages.
b) According to the britannica.com, "Fraud, in law, is the deliberate misrepresentation of fact for the purpose of depriving someone of a valuable possession."
Agent Jennings makes a presentation on Medicare advertised as an educational event. Agent Jennings distributes materials that are solely educational in nature. However, she gives a brief presentation that mentions plan-specific premiums. Is this a prohibited activity at an event that has been advertised as educational?
Answer:
Yes it is
Explanation:
Yes. When an event has been advertised as educational, going ahead to discuss plan-specific premiums is impermissible
The event for which Mary made the presentation is clearly an educational event so she should have concentrated fully on only educational contents that pertains to the event. Giving a presentation that mentions plan-specific premiums no matter how brief is a deviation from the main focus of the event. Therefore it is impermissible for her to do so.

One-year Treasury securities yield 4%. The market anticipates that 1-year from now 1-year Treasury securities will yield 2.1%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what should be the yield today for 2-year Treasury securities? Write your answer as a percentage, i.e. for example write 8% as 8.
Answer:
3.05%
Explanation:
According to Pure Expectation Theory, the future short term interest rates are actually the forward rates.
Mathematically,
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + r1,0)^1 * (1 + r1,1)^1
Here,
r2,0 is the rate of interest for 2 year treasury security from today
r1,0 is the rate of the interest for 1 year treasury security from today
r1,1 is the rate of the interest for 2 year treasury security from Year 1
By Putting Values, we have:
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + 0.04)^1 * (1 + 0.021)^1
(1 + r2,0)^2 = 1.06184
By taking square-root on both sides, we have:
(1 + r2,0) = 1.0305
r2,0 = 3.05%
Biarritz Corp. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 29 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 6.8 percent thereafter. If the required return is 15 percent and the company just paid a dividend of $3.15, what is the current share price
Answer:
The current price of the share is $69.85
Explanation:
To calculate the current share price, we will use the dividend discount model approach.
The dividend discount model (DDM) estimates the value of a share/stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. We will use the two stage growth model of DDM here as the growth in dividends of the stock is divided into two stages.
The formula for current price under two stage growth model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n +
[( D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2)) / (r - g2)] / (1+r)^n
Where,
g1 is initial growth rateg2 is the constant growth rater is the required rate of returnSo, the price of the stock today will be,
P0 = 3.15 * (1+0.29) / (1+0.15) + 3.15 * (1+0.29)^2 / (1+0.15)^2 +
3.15 * (1+0.29)^3 / (1+0.15)^3 +
[( 3.15 * (1+0.29)^3 * (1+0.068)) / (0.15 - 0.068)] / (1+0.15)^3
P0 = $69.85196 rounded off to $69.85
A firm is considering a replacement project which requires the initial outlay of $300,000 which includes both an after-tax salvage from the old asset of $12,000 and an additional working capital investment of $8,000.

Orion Flour Mills purchased a new machine and made the following expenditures:
Purchase price
$65,000
Sales tax
5,500
Shipment of machine
900
Insurance on the machine for the first year
600
Installation of machine
1,800
The machine, including sales tax, was purchased on account, with payment due in 30 days. The other expenditures listed above were paid in cash.
Required:
Record the above expenditures for the new machine.
Answer:
When buying PPE, the way to record it is to capitalize every expense that enabled the PPE to be brought to the location required and then set up for use. This includes the actual cost of the machine, the sales taxes (part of purchases price so must be included), the shipment of the machine as well as installation costs.
The Insurance paid (prepaid) is an expense for the period and so will not be capitalized.
Total cost of the machine therefore is;
= 65,000 + 5,500 + 900 + 1,800
= $73,200
Only the machine and the sales tax were purchased on account.
= 65,000 + 5,500
= $70,500
The rest in cash.
Journal Entry is
DR Machinery $73,200
DR Prepaid Insurance $600
CR Cash $3,300

Collins Company borrowed $1,250,000 from BankTwo on January 1, 2016 in order to expand its mining capabilities. The five-year note required annual payments of $325,545 and carried an annual interest rate of 9.5%. What is the amount of expense Collins must recognize on its 2017 income statement
Answer:
Collins Company must recognize $118,750 (which is annual interest paid on the capital) in its 2017 income statement as an expense item if the method of computing the interest is the flat rate method.
If it is reducing balance rate, then the amount deducted will equal $ 87,823
Explanation:
According to the principles of Financial Accounting, the interest portion of any loan must be entered as an expense item. The portion of the principal being paid back is recorded as part of the liability of the company in the period under consideration. It often goes by the term Loan Payable or Notes Payable.
Hence to arrive at the answers given above, you must note that the year in question is 2017 and that the loan took effect from January 2016.
When computing for interest payable, two methods may be used:
Flat rate method: which requires that the interest rate applicable is computed on the capital and multiplied by the number of years the loan will run.That is, $1,250,000 x 9.5% x 5 = Total Interest Rate Applicable.
= $593,750 so going by this method, the interest rate to be entered is
= $593, 750/5
= $118,750
2. Reducing balance rate method: This requires the rate of interest to be applied each year succesievely having taken into account the capital which way paid in the previous year.
That is, [Initial Capital-Annual Payments] *9.5%
For year 2016, annual payment will be Zero. Given that the loan started in that year. In 2017 however, the annual payment will apply as shown below:
= [$1,250,000-$325,545] *9.5%
= $924, 455 * 9.5%
= $87,823 (approximately)

Rachelle transfers property with a tax basis of $800 and a fair market value of $960 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $765 and $42 in cash in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $153 on the property transferred. What is the corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange
Answer:
$842
Explanation:
The computation of corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange is shown below:-
corporation's tax basis = Fair market value + Transaction
= $800 + $42
= $842
Therefore, The corporation's tax basis should be equivalent to the shareholder's tax basis as the property is transferred for $800 (a substituted basis) and add gain recognized of $42. And If the corporation sells the property for $960, the recognized gain would be $52.
Increased Efficiency, Inc. is looking for ways to shorten its cash conversion cycle. It has annual sales of $36,500,000, or $100,000 a day on a 365-day basis. The firm's cost of goods sold is 65% of sales. On average, the company has $9,000,000 in inventory and $8,000,000 in accounts receivable. Its CFO has proposed new policies that would result in a 20% reduction in both average inventories and accounts receivable. She also anticipates that these policies would reduce sales by 10%, while the payables deferral period would remain unchanged at 40 days. What effect would these policies have on the company's cash conversion cycle
Answer and Explanation:
The cash conversion cycle refers to the cycle which includes the days inventory outstanding and days sales outstanding and deduct the days payable outstanding
The cash cycle = Days inventory outstanding + days sale outstanding - days payable outstanding
The computation is shown in the attachment below:
As we can see in the attachment the new proposed policy i.e 234.19 days would decrease the cash conversion cycle by 24.27 days as compared with the current proposal policy i.e 258.46 days
8. Problems and Applications Q8 The city government is considering two tax proposals: • A lump-sum tax of $300 on each producer of hamburgers. • A tax of $1 per burger, paid by producers of hamburgers. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the lump-sum tax? Check all that apply. Average fixed cost will increase. Average variable cost will remain unchanged. Average total cost will increase. Marginal cost will increase. Which of the following statements is true as a result of the per-burger tax? Check all that apply. Average fixed cost will remain unchanged. Average total cost will increase. Average variable cost will increase. Marginal cost will remain unchanged.
Answer:
Which of the following statements is true as a result of the lump-sum tax?
Average fixed cost will increase.
Average total cost will increase.
The lump-sum tax of $300 is a one time payment that does not depend on the amount of output, for this reason, it is a fixed cost that is spread over the total quantity of burgers that are produced, and that also affect average total cost.
Which of the following statements is true as a result of the per-burger tax?
Average fixed cost will remain unchanged.
Average total cost will increase.
Average variable cost will increase.
The per-burger tax depends on the quanityt of burgers produced, therefore, it is another variable cost. It affects average total cost, and average variable cost, while average fixed cost remains unchaged precisely because it is not a fixed cost.
The average cost of production is computed by dividing the number cost (TC) by the output produced (TO) (Q). When we say "per unit cost of production," we mean that all fixed and variable costs are taken into account when calculating the average cost.
As a result, it's also known as Per Unit Total Cost.
The answers to the above questions are:
1) The $300 lump-sum tax is a one-time contribution that is not based on the amount of output; as a result, it is a fixed cost that is distributed across the total quantity of burgers produced, affecting the average total cost.
So, Option A and C are correct.
2) The per-burger tax is a variable expense that is determined by the number of burgers consumed. It has an effect on average total cost and average variable cost, but it has no effect on average fixed cost because it is not a fixed cost.
So, Option A, B, and C are correct.
Thus these Options are correct for the following question.

Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is pequals 160minus2 q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at $20 , which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using two-part pricing? The profit-maximizing membership fee (F) is $nothing . (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer:
Club membership fee of $60 would maximize profit.
If the club charges tow part pricing the maximum revenue can be $3500.
Explanation:
Joe has entered into a monopoly because he is owner of single golf course in the Northlands.
Demand function for Joe's golf course is:
P = 160 - 2q
P = $20 , q = 50
160 - 2 (50) = 60
Consumer surplus = 0.5 * equilibrium quantity
Consumer Surplus for Joe is ; 0.5 * 50 (160 - 20) = $3500
If MR = MC then demand function will become :
160 - 4q
If q = 25 then
160 - 4 * 25 = 60

Given the following information, calculate the debt ratio percentage: Liabilities = $25,000Liquid assets = $5,000Monthly credit payments = $800Monthly savings = $760Net worth = $75,000Take-home pay = $2,300Gross income = $3,500Monthly expenses = $2,050
Answer:
33.33%
Explanation:
The debt ratio percentage is calculated as:
Liabilities / Net worth = Debt Ratio Percentage
$25,000 / $75,000 = 0.3333
0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
The debt ratio is easy to calculate and is calculated by dividing the total liabilities of a person with the total net worth of the person. Dividing both gives a figure in decimal which is then multiplied by 100 to derive a percentage.
If $1200 is borrowed at 9% interest, find the amounts due at the end of 4 years if the interest is compounded as follows. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) (i) annually $ 1693.9 Correct: Your answer is correct. (ii) quarterly $ 1204.3 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (iii) monthly $ (iv) weekly $ (v) daily $ (vi) hourly $ (vii) continuously $
Answer and Explanation:
(i) The computation of compound interest for annual is shown below:-
Compound interest = A = P × (1 + r ÷ n)^t
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 1)^1 × 4
= $1,200 × (1.09)^4
= $1,693.897932
or
= $1,693.90
(ii) The computation of compound interest for quarterly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 4)^4 × 4
= $1,200 × (1.09)^16
= $1,713.145749
or
= $1,713.15
Since it is quarterly so we divide the interest rate by 4 and multiply the time period by 4
(iii) The computation of compound interest for monthly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 12)^4 × 12
= $1,200 × (1.0075)^48
= $1,717.6864
or
= $1,717.69
Since it is monthly so we divide the interest rate by 12 and multiply the time period by 12
(iv) The computation of compound interest for weekly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 52)^4 × 52
= $1,200 × (1.432883461 )^208
= $1719.460154
or
= $1,719.46
Since it is weekly so we divide the interest rate by 52 and multiply the time period by 52
(v) The computation of compound interest for daily is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 365)^4 × 365
= $1,200 × (1.43326581 )^1460
= $1719.918972
or
= $1719.92
Since it is daily so we divide the interest rate by 365 and multiply the time period by 365
(vi) The computation of compound interest for hourly is shown below:-
= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 8760)^4 × 8760
= $1,200 × (1.433326764 )^35,040
= $1,719.992117
or
= $1719.99
(vii) The computation of compound interest for continuously is shown below:-
A = Pe^rt
= 1,200e^0.09 × 4
= 1,200e^0.36
= $1,720.00
Beamish Inc., which produces a single product, has provided the following data for its most recent month of operations: Number of units produced 3,700 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 132 Direct labor $ 93 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 5 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 12 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $148,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $288,600 There were no beginning or ending inventories. The absorption costing unit product cost was:
Answer:
Absorption costing unit product cost = $270 per unit
Explanation:
Absorption costing values unit produced using the full cost per unit.
It categories cost as production and non-production cost
Full cost per unit =Direct labour cost + direct material cost + Variable production overhead + fixed production overhead
Fixed prod overhead per unit = Total fixed production overhead/Number of units
= $148,000/3,700 units=$40 per unit
Full cost per unit = 132+ 93+ 5 + 40 = $270 per unit
Absorption costing unit = $270 per unit

Photo Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,200 per month plus $20 per frame. For the month of November, the company planned for activity of 618 frames, but the actual level of activity was 610 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $13,850. The spending variance for supplies cost in November would be closest to:
Answer:
Direct material spending variance= $451.4 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Photo Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,200 per month plus $20 per frame.
Actual level of activity was 610 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $13,850.
To calculate the spending variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= (13,850 - 1,200)/610= $20.74
Direct material price variance= (20 - 20.74)*610
Direct material price variance= $451.4 unfavorable
To advertise or not to advertise Suppose that Creamland and Dairy King are the only two firms that sell ice cream. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether or not it advertises:
Dairy King
Advertise Doesn't Advertise
Creamland Advertise 10,10 18, 2
Doesn't Advertise 2,18 11,11
For example, the upper right cell shows that if Creamland advertises and Dairy King doesn't advertise, Creamland will make a profit of $18 million, and Dairy King will make a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Creamland and Dairy King are both profit-maximizing firms.
a. If Creamland decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ _______ million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $_______ million if Dairy King not advertise.
b. If Creamland decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of________ million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of______ $ million if Dairy King does not advertise.
Suppose that both firms start off not advertising. If the firms act independently, what strategies will they end up choosing?
a. Creamland will choose not to advertise and Dairy King will choose to advertise.
b. Both firms will choose not to advertise.
c. Both firms will choose to advertise.
d. Creamland will choose to advertise and Dairy King will choose not to advertise.
Answer:
a. 10, 18
b. 2, 11
c. Both firms will choose to advertise.
Explanation:
Interpreting the payoff matrix for all possible cases:
Both Advertise:
Dairy King profit = 10
Creamland profit = 10
Neither Advertise:
Dairy King profit = 11
Creamland profit = 11
Only Dairy King advertises:
Dairy King profit = 18
Creamland profit = 2
Only Creamland advertises:
Dairy King profit = 2
Creamland profit = 18.
Filling in the blanks:
a. If Creamland decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $10 million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $18 million if Dairy King not advertise.
b. If Creamland decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of $2 million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $11 million if Dairy King does not advertise.
For both firms, if they choose not to advertise and the other firm advertises, they will have a much lower profit than their competitors. Therefore, the dominant strategy for either firm is to advertise since it will at least keep them even with their competitor (if both advertise).
The answer is c. Both firms will choose to advertise.
Flyer Company has provided the following information prior to any year-end bad debt adjustment:Cash sales, $167,000Credit sales, $467,000Selling and administrative expenses, $127,000Sales returns and allowances, $47,000Gross profit, $507,000Accounts receivable, $275,000Sales discounts, $31,000Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance, $2,900Flyer estimates bad debt expense assuming that 2% of credit sales have historically been uncollectible. What is the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded?a) $12,240.b) $9,340.c) $9,780.d) $6,440.
Answer:
The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded is $12,240. Option A
Explanation:
Cash sales = $167,000
Credit sales = $467,000
Selling and administrative expenses = $127,000
Sales returns and allowances = $47,000
Gross profit = $507,000
Accounts receivable = $275,000
Sales discounts = $31,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance = $2,900
Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' = $467,000 × 2%
= $9,240
Credit balance in the allowance account = $2,900
Bad debts expense = Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' + Credit balance in the allowance account
= $9,340 + $2,900
= $12,240
1. A company sells a plant asset that originally cost $375,000 for $125,000 on December 31, 2017. The accumulated depreciation account had a balance of $150,000 after the current year's depreciation of $37,500 had been recorded. The company should recognize a
Answer:
The company should recognize a loss on sale of plant asset of $100,00.
Explanation:
The cost = $375,000
Accumulated Depreciation = $150,000
Therefore, book value = $225,000
This book value is compared with the sales value of $125,000.
There is a difference of $100,000 ($225,000 - $125,000).
Since the book value is greater than the sales value, it means that the plant asset was sold at a loss.
The cost is the amount at which the plant asset was purchased. The accumulated depreciation represents the cost that has been expensed so far. The sales value is the amount at which the plant asset was sold.
Randolph is a 30 percent partner in the RD Partnership. On January 1, RD distributes $24,500 cash and inventory with a fair value of $23,600 (inside basis of $11,800) to Randolph in complete liquidation of his interest. RD has no liabilities at the date of the distribution. Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $39,725. What is the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution
Answer:
3425 LOSS
Explanation:
Randolph gain or loss can be calculated as
Gain/loss = Cash distribution + Inventory distribution - Basis in RD
Gain/loss = $24,500 + $11,800 - $39,725
Gain/loss = (3425) LOSS
As You can see RD distributing cash and inventory and they are less than his basis in RD
Use the 2012 segment information provided by BMW and Volkswagen to an- swer the following questions: a. Which company is more multinational? b. Which company is more internationally diversified? c. In which region(s) of the world did each company experience the greatest growth from 2011–2012? the greatest decline?
Answer with its Explanation:
a). The total revenue of Volkswagen and BMW in the 2012 segment given shows that the revenue is $192,676 and BMW which is $76,848. As the revenue of Volkswagen is more than the BMW hence Volkswagen is more multinational.
b). The regional sales section shows that the Volkswagen is more internationally recognized as per the regional sales which is substantially higher than the regional sales of BMW. So its crystal clear that Volkswagen is the one which more internationally diversified.
c). The 2012 segment information shows that the BMW greatest growth was in China then in USA and then greatest growth was in Rest of the Europe and the greatest decline was in Rest of the America.
For Volkswagen, the greatest growth was in North America then in Asia and then in South America. The greatest decline wasn't seen in the segment information but lowest increase was seen in Germany and then in the European countries.
Using $3,000,000 as the total manufacturing costs, compute the cost of goods manufactured using the following information.
Raw materials inventory, January 1 $ 20,000
Raw materials inventory, December 31 40,000
Work in process, January 1 18,000
Work in process, December 31 12,000
Finished goods, January 1 40,000
Finished goods, December 31 32,000
Raw materials purchases 1,700,000
Direct labor 760,000
Factory utilities 150,000
Indirect labor 50,000
Factory depreciation 400,000
Operating expenses 420,000
a. $3,014,000
b. $3,006,000
c. $3,008,000
d. $2,994,000
Answer:
$3,006,000
Explanation:
The computation of cost of goods manufactured is shown below:-
Cost of Goods Manufactured = Gross Manufacturing Cost + Opening Work in progress - Closing work in progress
= $3,000,000 + $18,000 - $12,000
= $3,006,000
Therefore for computing the cost of goods manufactured we have applied the above formulas and ignore all other values as they are not relevant.
An asset has an average return of 10.19 percent and a standard deviation of 22.41 percent. What is the most you should expect to lose in any given year with a probability of 16 percent
Answer:
The answer is 32.6%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
An assets has a return average of =10.19%
Standard deviation =22.41%
Probability in any given year =16%
Now
The most you should expect to earn in any given year with a probability of 16 percent is = 10.19 + 22.41
= 32.6
Therefore,what you should expect in given year to lose is 32.6%
QUESTION 12 For a strategic alliance, firms should seek partners that are: a. known for being opportunistic. b. radically different when it comes to strategic goals. c. willing to share costs and risks of new-product development. d. different in terms of vision and agendas. e. similar when it comes to capabilities.
Answer:
c. willing to share costs and risks of new-product development.
Explanation:
A strategic alliance is when two companies come together to carry out a project that benefits both companies while both companies still retain their independence.
If strategic alliance is carried out with a company that is opportunistic, the company might take advantage of the other company or take certain actions that would not benefit the other company.
strategic alliance has to be mutually beneficial to both companies, so, strategic goals and visions have to align.
Capabilities don't have to be the same for a strategic alliance.
