Answer:
Net Capital Spending = $121
Explanation:
The Net Capital Spending is the amount of money a company spends in the acquisition of fixed assets during the year. Mathematically, it is represented as:
Net Capital Spending = Ending net fixed asset - Beginning net fixed asset + depreciation
Net Capital Spending = 550 - 471 + 42 = $121
∴ Net Capital Spending = $121
Henry Co. assigned $400,000 of accounts receivable to Easy Finance Co. as security for a loan of $335,000. Easy charged a 2% commission on the amount of the loan; the interest rate on the note was 10%. During the first month, Henry collected $110,000 on assigned accounts after deducting $380 of discounts. Henry accepted returns worth $1,350 and wrote off assigned accounts totaling $2,980. Reference: Ref 7-2 The amount of cash Henry received from Easy at the time of the transfer was
Answer:
$328,300
Explanation:
Amount of cash received by Henry from Easy at the time of the transfer was = Amount of Loan - Commission
= $335,000 - ($335,000*2%)
= $335,000 - $6,700
= $328,300
Thus, the amount of cash received by Henry from Easy at the time of the transfer was $328,300
In response to the economic crisis in 2008, President Merkel "highlighted in her speech what the German government has already done: a financial sector rescue package worth up to €500 billion, and a proposed stimulus package of tax breaks [on income] and spending measures aimed at triggering investments of up to €50 billion over the next two years." Which parts of the stimulus plan will increase labor supply?
Answer:
Chancellor Merkel's proposed stimulus consisted of two parts:
a financial rescue package worth €500 billion (which I personally believe only helped bankers but didn't increase labor supply)tax breaks and investment measures worth €50 billionThe only part of the stimulus package that would actually help to increase labor supply is the last part, which also is the smallest part, since it should have increased investments. When investment increases, the interest rates decrease and aggregate demand increases. As aggregator demand increases, the demand for labor also increases. An increase in the demand for labor results in higher wages, which in turn increases labor supply until an equilibrium is reached.
Governments generally rescue financial institutions arguing that they are really important to the economy, but what is really amazing and repeats itself all over the world is that the same governments favor free markets. When small businesses fail, governments do not care, and small businesses represent 99% of America's companies. Governments only start caring when rich people lose money, since free market rules only apply to them when they favor them. If free market rules do not favor the rich, they are bad and governments intervene.
The Maurer Company has a long-term debt ratio of .50 and a current ratio of 1.40. Current liabilities are $970, sales are $5,190, profit margin is 9.30 percent, and ROE is 16.90 percent. What is the amount of the firm's net fixed assets
Answer:
$7,210.1065
Explanation:
The computation of net fixed assets is shown below:-
But before that we need to do the following calculations
Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities
Current Assets = 1.40 × $970
= $1,358
Profit Margin = Net Income ÷ Sales
= 9.30% = Net income ÷ $5,190
Net income = $5,190 × 9.30%
= $482.67
ROE = Net Income ÷ Shareholders Equity
16.90% = $482.67 ÷ Shareholders Equity
Shareholders Equity = $482.67 ÷ 16.90%
= $2,856.0355
Long-term debt ratio = Long term debt ÷ (Long term debt + Equity)
0.50 = Long term debt ÷ (Long term debt + $2,856.0355)
Long term debt = 0.50 × Long term debt + $2,856.0355
0.5 × Long term debt = $2,856.0355
Long term debt = $2,856.0355 ÷ 0.50
= $5,712.071
Total Assets = long term debt + Equity
= $5,712.071 + $2,856.0355
= $8,568.1065
Now
Total Assets = Current Assets + Fixed Assets
$8,568.1065 = $1,358 + fixed assets
So, the fixed asset is
= $8,568.1065 - $1,358
= $7,210.1065
South Company sells a single product for $20 per unit. If variable expenses are 60% of sales and fixed expenses total $9,600, the break-even point will be
Answer:
The Break-even point in units= 1,200 units
Explanation:
The break-even point (BEP) is the quantity of each product to be sold such that the business makes no profit or loss.
The beak-even point can be determined as follows:
The Break-even point in units = Total general fixed cost / Contribution per unit margin
Contribution per unit = Selling price - variable cost
= 20 - ( 60% × 20)= 8
The Break-even point in units= 9,600/8 =1,200 units
The Break-even point in units= 1,200 units

When setting optimal prices, which of the following is a concern when utilizing a regression of observed sales on observed prices to set them?
a. All of these answers apply.
b. Future prices might be outside the range of past prices.
c. There is not enough variation in observed prices.
Answer:
The Future prices might be outside the range of past prices when setting optimal price
Explanation:
Future prices might be outside the range of past prices is a concern when utilizing a regression of observed sales on observed prices to set them because setting An optimal price enables the price at which the seller can make the highest profit possible in order to increase revenue with maximum profitability in which this can only be done when using the optimal pricing strategy for example in a situation where a company is competing in several locations and different market segments, this means clearly understanding and planning a special approach for the environments before the company makes any changes in their pricing strategy is important because Future prices might be outside the range of past prices.

During 2022, Sheridan Company entered into the following transactions.
1. Purchased equipment for $318,770 cash.
2. Issued common stock to investors for $139,050 cash.
3. Purchased inventory of $70,940 on account.
Using the following tabular analysis, show the effect of each transaction on the accounting equation. (If a transaction causes a decrease in Assets, Liabilities or Stockholders' Equity, place a negative sign (or parentheses) in front of the amount entered for the particular Asset, Liability or Equity item that was reduced. See Illustration 3-4 for example.)
Answer with its Explanation:
Transaction 1: The purchase of equipment is increase in the fixed assets and as the amount paid is in cash, the decrease in cash asset will also be with the same amount. This means the net effect on assets will be zero.
Accounting Equation is given as under:
Fixed Assets + Current Asset = Equity + Liability
Equipment 318,770 - Cash $318,770 = Zero Net Effect
Transaction 2: The increase in the equity will increase the current asset as well here, which means:
Fixed Assets + Current Asset = Equity + Liability
Current Assets + $139,050 = Issued common stock + $139,050
Transaction 3: The purchase of inventory on account means that the current asset would be increased and the payables will increase with the same amount. The effect on the accounting equation is given as under:
Fixed Assets + Current Asset = Equity + Liability
Current Asset + $70,94 = Current liabilities + $70,940

asyFind manufactures and sells golf balls. The company is conducting a price test to find a better price point. Presently their golf balls sell for $21 per dozen. Their current volume is 4,250 dozen per month. They are considering reducing their sales price by 24% per dozen. What % increase in unit sales is necessary to achieve the same level of total contribution?
Answer:
%variation= 31.58% increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per dozen= $21
Sales in units= 4,250
They are considering reducing their sales price by 24% per dozen.
First, we need to determine the actual total contribution:
Total contribution= 21*4,250= $89,250
Now, with the new selling price, the percentage variation in sales units:
Selling price= 21*0.76= $15.96
89,250= 15.96*units
5,592= units
Percentage:
%variation= [(5,592/4,250) - 1]*100= 31.58%
You are looking to buy a car and you have been offered a loan with an APR of 6.5 %, compounded monthly. a. What is the true monthly rate of interest? b. What is the EAR? g
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
a. What is the true monthly rate of interest?
The monthly rate of interest will be the annual percentage rate of charge given in the question divided by the number of months. This will be:
= APR/12
= 6.5%/12
= 0.065/12
= 0.0054
= 0.54%
b. What is the EAR?
The effective annual rate will be calculated using the formula:
EAR = (1 + (APR / m)^ m) - 1
EAR = (1 + (0.065/ 12)^12) - 1
EAR = [(1 + 0.0054)^12] - 1
EAR = (1.0054)^12 - 1
EAR = 1.06676 - 1
EAR = 0.06676
EAR = 6.68%
How much would you be willing to pay today for an investment that pays $1,300 per year at the end of the next 10 years
Answer:
The investment is worth $8,732.11 today.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $1,300
Number of years= 10
To calculate the present value, we need a discount rate. If not, the value of money through time is irrelevant.
Imagine a discount rate of 8% compounded annually.
First, we will calculate the future value:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {1,300*[(1.08^10) - 1]} / 0.08
FV= $18,832.53
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 18,832.53/1.08^10
PV= $8,732.11

Under the general requirements of Code Sections 162 and 212 regarding trade/business and income-producing activities, to be deductible an expense must be
Answer:
Related to carrying on the activity
Explanation:
The general requirement of the code sections 162 and 212 about the expense allowing as a deduction against income of the business is that the expenses are only allowable if it is related to the same business income. This means that the trading expense would be set off against trading income and rental expense would be set off against rental income. Furthermore, the expenses (losses) would be only deductible for the future years if the business has not abandoned its operations which means the expenses are related to carrying activities.
Sabv Corporation's break-even-point in sales is $910,000, and its variable expenses are 80% of sales. If the company lost $41,000 last year, sales must have amounted to:
Answer:
Sales= $705,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Break-even-point in sales= $910,000
Variable expenses= 80% of sales.
Loss= $41,000
First, we need to calculate the fixed costs:
Fixed costs= 910,000*0.2= $182,000
Now, we need to determine the contribution margin:
Actual CM= 182,000 - 41,000= $141,000
Finally, the sales revenue:
Sales= 141,000/0.2= $705,000
rawford Trucking plans to dispose of two trucks in 2022. They sell the first truck on January 2 and the second truck on July 9. If the end of their fiscal year is December 31, how will the calculation of book value differ for these two vehicles?
Answer: C : They will need to subtract a partial year of depreciation from the book value of the second truck but not the first truck.
Explanation:
When disposing of fixed assets such as vehicles, depreciation has to be charged on them to see their Net Book Value.
Companies usually depreciate their vehicles on a yearly basis in accordance with the end of their fiscal year. This company therefore most likely depreciates on December 31.
The first truck is sold 2 days after this Depreciation so there is no need to add more depreciation to it.
However the second truck on the other hand was sold 6 months later. Depreciation needs to charged on this substantial period but since it was not for the full year, a partial one needs to be charged.
"According to the law of demand, with everything else being equal, the quantity demanded for a good or service will _____________ as the price increases."
Answer: Decrease
Explanation:
According to the Law of Demand, The quantity demanded for purchase of a commodity inversely varies with the price.
That is to say that "ceteris paribus" ( with everything being equal),When the prices of a particular good go higher, people will buy less of such commodity but will buy more, if the prices of the goods reduces.
We can say demand is elastic if quantity demanded for a commodity decreases with increase in price which will make people choose another lower substitute good eg, detergent, ice cream
Also if quantity demanded does not change much with increase in price , then it is referred to as Inelastic Demand for example necessity commodity such as gasoline.
Expenditures on a nation's domestic production Group of answer choices are less than its domestic production. are equal to its domestic production. are greater than its domestic production. could be less than, equal to, or greater than its domestic production.
Answer:
are equal to it's domestic production
Explanation:
A country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is defined as value of all goods and services produced in a country during a given time. Domestic production refers to those goods and services produced at home for local consumption.
Expenditure refers to the monies expended by all entities namely; household, firms and government on goods and services with a country.
When all the entities involved in generating a country's GDP spend their money towards purchasing goods and services produced in a country, then local producers would have more money to buy materials that will be used for further production. The higher the money spent, the higher the production and vice versa.
The above is a cycle that is repeated each time household, firms and government buys locally produced goods hence expenditure on a nation's domestic production equal to it's domestic production.
A package of 8 frankfurters costs $5.00 and a package of 12 hot dog buns costs $3.00. If Jeffrey makes a hot dog sandwich using only a frankfurter and a bun, what percent of the cost of his hot dog sandwich comes from the bun?
Answer:
Buns= 28.57%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A package of 8 frankfurters costs $5.00 and a package of 12 hot dog buns costs $3.00.
First, we need to calculate the unitary cost of the frankfurters and buns.
Frankfurters= 5/8= $0.625
Buns= 3/12= 0.25
Now, the percentage of buns per hotdog:
Total unitary cost= 0.625 + 0.25= 0.875
Buns= 0.25/0.875= 0.2857= 28.57%
is (R$), has been trading at R$3.40/US$. Exports to Brazil are currently 50,000 printers per year at the reais-equivalent of $200 each. A rumor exists that the reais will be devalued to R$4.00/$ within two weeks by the Brazilian government. Should the deva
Answer:
Some information was missing, so I looked it up:
Should the devaluation take place, the reais is expected to remain unchanged for another decade.
Accepting this forecast as given, DP faces a pricing decision which must be made before any actual devaluation: DP may either 1) maintain the same reais price and in effect sell for fewer dollars, in which case Brazilian volume will not change or 2) maintain the same dollar price, raise the reais price in Brazil to compensate for the devaluation, and experience a 20% drop in volume. Direct costs in the U.S. are 60% of the U.S. sales price.
What would be the short-run (one-year) implication of each pricing strategy? Which do you recommend?
In the short run:
if you decide to keep the current price in reais, then your contribution margin per unit will decrease from $80 to $50. Total contribution from sales to Brazil will reduce from $4,000,000 to $2,500,000.
If you decide to increase the price in reais, then your contribution margin per unit will remain at $80, but your total sales will fall to 40,000. Total contribution margin from sales to Brazil will reduce from $4,000,000 to $3,200,000
Personally, I would recommend increasing the price since operating profits will reduce in a smaller proportion.
The people in an economy have $10 million in money. There is only one bank that all the people deposit their money in and it holds 5% of the deposits as reserves. What is the money multiplier in this economy?
Answer:
The answer is 20
Explanation:
The money multiplier show us how an initial deposit can lead to a higher final increase in the total money supply or it relates to the maximum amount of bank money that can be created, given a certain amount of money from central bank money.
Money multplier = 1 / reserve requirement
Reserve requirement is 5% of the deposits
Therefore, money multiplier is
1 / 0.05

Carter divorced his wife in the current year. In accordance with the divorce decree, he paid her $15,000 as a property settlement in the division of their net assets. In addition, he paid her $10,000 in partial fulfillment of the annual requirement to pay her $12,000 a year in child support. What amount may Carter deduct on his tax return for the current year
Answer:
$0 (at least under current laws)
Explanation:
Child support payments are not tax deductible. Even alimony payments made to former spouses are not tax deductible anymore.
Any property settlements resulting from a divorce are not tax deductible either nor are they considered taxable income for the receiving party.
So in this case, until the current law changes, Carter cannot deduct any amount from his tax return.
The combination of the degree of complexity and the degree of change existing in an organization's external environment is/are called:________
a. strategic fit.
b. strategic issues.
c. scenarios.
d. environmental uncertainty.
e. strategic factors.
Answer:
D. environmental uncertainty.
Explanation:
This could be explained to be a condition or situation when an organisation in form of a firm is said to have little or no information about its external environment and in this condition, making it unpredictable; especially when not expected. In other words, the term environmental uncertainty can be easily explained to be unpredicted, unexpected uncertainties that are said to happen in an external environment.
Global warming can be capitalized to be one of the physical and major environmental uncertainties that occurs in such a place.
Who would benefit if the exchange rate with yen (in U.S. dollars) increased (i.e. one dollar can buy more yens)?
Answer:
The answer is US consumers
Explanation:
Exchange rate is the rate at which a country can exchange its currency with another country’s currency.
An increase in the exchange rate of dollar with Yen discourages the Japanese from buying american goods.
Since US dollar is appreciating in relative to Japanese Yen, US consumers will benefit since they are buying the goods at a now cheaper rate.
Verizox Company uses a job order cost system with manufacturing overhead applied to products based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the most recent year, the company estimated its manufacturing overhead cost at $181,090. Estimated direct labor cost was $481,580 for 19,900 hours.Actual costs for the most recent month are summarized here:Item Description Total CostDirect labor (1,800 hours) $46,361Indirect costs Indirect labor 2,540Indirect materials 3,420Factory rent 3,300Factory supervision 4,730Factory depreciation 5,760Factory janitorial work 1,270Factory insurance 1,890General and administrative salaries 4,240Selling expenses 5,350Required1. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)Predetermined Overhead Rate _____ Per DL Hour2. Calculate the amount of applied manufacturing overhead.Applied Overhead Rate _____3. Calculate actual manufacturing overhead costs.Actual Manufacturing Overhead Costs _____4. Compute over- or underapplied overhead.Overhead _____
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $181,090
Estimated direct labor houra= 19,900
Actual costs:
Indirect labor= $2,540
Factory rent= $3,300
Factory supervision= $4,730
Factory depreciation= $5,760
Factory janitorial work= $1,270
Factory insurance= $1,890
Actual overhead= $19,490
Actual direct labor hours= 1,800
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 181,090/19,900= $9.1 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 9.1*1,800= $16,380
Actual manufacturing overhead costs= $19,490
Finally, we can determine the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 19,490 - 16,380
Under/over applied overhead= $3,110 underapplied
