A waiter fills your water glass with ice water (containing many ice cubes) such that the liquid water is perfectly level with the rim of the glass. As the ice melts,
Answer:
As the ice melts and turns into water, the level of the liquid water will lower and it will no longer be perfectly leveled with the rim of the glass. This happens because water has a unique property, its solid state occupies a larger volume than its liquid state, i.e. as waters turns into ice, it expands and occupies more space. Generally, as liquids become solid, they will shrink and occupy less space, but that doesn't happen with water.

You are the Chief Operations Officer responsible for overall company operations in ATCHULO Company Ltd, a large courier company in Ghana. Your company has 16 regional offices (terminals) scattered around the country in each of the regional capitals and a main office (hub) located in the capital city of the country. Your operations are strictly domestic. You do not accept international shipments.
The day at each terminal begins with the arrival of packages from the hub. The packages are loaded onto trucks for delivery to customers during morning hours. In the afternoon, the same trucks pick up packages that are returned to the terminal in late afternoon and then shipped to the hub where shipments arrive from the terminals into the late evening and are sorted for delivery early the next day for the terminals.
Examiner: Dr. Abubakari Atchulo Page 1 of 2
Each terminal in your company is treated as an investment centre and prepares individual income statements each month. Each terminal receives 30% of the revenue from packages that it picks up and 30% of the revenue from the packages it delivers. The remaining 40% of the revenue from each transaction goes to the hub. Each terminal accumulates its own costs. All costs relating to travel to and from the hub are charged to the hub. The revenue per package is based on size and service type and not the distance the package travels. (There are two services: overnight and ground delivery, which takes between 1 and 7 days, depending on the distance traveled).
All customer service is done through a central service group located in the hub. Customers access this service centre through a toll-free telephone number. The most common calls to customer service include requests for package pickup, requests to trace an overdue package, and requests for billing information. The company has invested in complex and expensive package tracking equipment that monitors the package’s trip through the system by scanning the bar code placed on every package. The bar code is scanned when the package is picked up, enters the originating terminal, leaves the originating terminal, arrives at the hub, leaves the hub, arrives at the destination terminal, and is delivered to the customers. All scanning is done with hand held wands that transmit the information to the regional and then central computer.
The major staff functions in each terminal are administrative (accounting, clerical, and executive), marketing (the sales staff), courier (the people who pick up and deliver the shipments and the equipment they use), and operations (the people and equipment who sort packages in the terminal).
This organisation takes customer service very seriously. The revenue for any package that fails to meet the organisation’s service commitment to the customer is not assigned to the originating and destination terminals.
All company employees receive a wage and a bonus based on the terminal’s economic value added. This system has promoted many debates about the sharing rules for revenues, the inherent inequity of the existing system, and the appropriateness of the revenue share for the hub. Service problems have arisen primarily relating to overdue packages. The terminals believe that most of the service problems relate to wrong sorting in the hub, resulting in packages being sent to the wrong terminals.
Required:
A) Explain why an investment centre is or not an appropriate organisational design in ATCHULO Company Ltd. (15 marks)
B) Assuming that ATCHULO Company Ltd is committed to the current design, how would you improve it? (15 marks)
C) Assuming that ATCHULO Company Ltd has decided that the investment centre model is
unacceptable, what model to performance evaluation would you recommend and why? (15 marks)
Answer:
ATCHULO Company Ltd
A) ATCHULO Company Ltd, as it is currently being operated should not be using an investment center as the appropriate organizational design when a profit center structure could have been applied. However, if it wants to continue the use of the investment center model as a preferred organizational structure, then it should implement the structure fully. For one, an investment center is a division in ATCHULO company that is supposed to be in control of all its investment activities (assets), and is responsible for generating profits (revenue and costs) for its sustenance. Its performance will then be evaluated based on the revenue it generates less the expenses, including the capital costs incurred for generating the revenue.
B) For a better operation of the investment center, revenues generated by the investment centers should be assigned to the investment centers and all their costs will be assigned as well. The investment centers should have their operational assets and make the necessary decisions regarding their use.
The hub should not be sorting packages for the investment centers as each investment center could handle the sorting at their various centers and route packages to appropriate destinations, accordingly. The investment centers should operate their own trucks or outsource such services at some costs. Since packages are sent from one center to the other and vice versa, they can charge for the services they provide for one another. In this way, each investment center's performance will be more accurately evaluated.
C) The investment center approach would have been the best for ATCHULO Company Ltd if it were being properly implemented, both in terms of operational activities and performance evaluation.
However, since ATCHULO Company has decided to change the model, I recommend the centers to be operated as profit centers, because this is the next best thing in terms of performance evaluation. However, each center must be able to make its own revenue and cost decisions, so that it can be assessed based on profit performance.
Explanation:
An investment center in ATCHULO Company should be a unit of the firm that is responsible for its revenue, cost, and investment decisions, with its performance judged based on the overall outcome achieved or the value added to the company.
A profit center in ATCHULO Company is a unit that is only responsible for its revenue and cost decisions, while investment activities are handled from the headquarters. Its performance is evaluated on profits without consideration of the capital costs incurred in generating the profits.

A hospital purchased new MRI equipment and intended to be used for 4 years. The information is given below. As part of the warranty agreement, the maintenance costs will be waived for the first 4 years. At MARR of 29% per year, determine the minimum revenue per year to realize the expected recovery and return.
Answer:
the information is missing but I looked for a similar question that can help as an example (hopefully it will be the same):
purchase cost $750,000
useful life 4 years, salvage value $150,000
discount rate 29%
in order to answer this question, we would need to calculate a cash flow that results in NPV = 0
0 = -$750,000 + CF/1.29 + CF/1.29² + CF/1.29³ + (CF + $150,000)/1.29⁴
$750,000 = CF/1.29 + CF/1.29² + CF/1.29³ + (CF + $150,000)/1.29⁴
$750,000 = 0.7752CF + 0.6009CF + 0.4658CF + 0.3611CF + $54,166.70
$695,833.30 = 2.203CF
CF = $695,833.30 / 2.203 = $315,857.15

A post-closing trial balance will reflect balances, after closing entires have been posted to reset the temporary accounts as follows:
A) zero balances for balance sheet accounts.
B) Balances only showing in income statement accounts
C) Balances only showing for balance sheet accounts.
D) zero balances for all accounts.
Answer: C) Balances only showing for balance sheet accounts.
Explanation:
A Post-Closing Trial Balance is used to match debits with credits to ensure that they are equal. It will however contain no items from the Income statement because those were considered to be temporary accounts that are part of the calculation of Retained Earnings and have thus have been dissolved during the Closing process.
This Trial Balance will therefore only have Balance Sheet items listed in it.

You are given the following information for Bowie Pizza Co.: Sales = $64,000; Costs = $30,700; Addition to retained earnings = $5,700; Dividends paid = $1,980; Interest expense = $4,400; Tax rate = 22 percent. Calculate the depreciation expense. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$18554
Explanation:
The formula for addition to retained earnings can be used to determine the amount of depreciation expense as shown below:
addition to retained earnings=sales-costs-depreciation expense-interest expense-tax paid-dividends
addition to retained earnings=net income-dividends
5700=net income-1980
net income=5700+1980=7680
if tax 22%,net income is 1-22%=0.78
profit before tax=7680 /0.78= 9,846.15
tax = 9,846.15*22%= 2,166.15
using the long formula,we have depreciation expense
5700=64000-30700-depreciation expense-4400-2666.15-1980
depreciation expense=64000-30700-4400-2666.15-1980-5700
depreciatio expense=$18553.85

1. Compute the material price and quantity, and the labor rate and efficiency variances.
2. Describe the possible causes for this combination of favorable and unfavorable variances.
Answer:
1. Computation of variances
a. Material Price Variance = (Actual Price - Standard Price) x Actual Quantity
= ($1 - $0.9) x 100
= $10 U
b. Material Quantity Variance = (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity) x Standard Price
= (100 - 110) x $0.9
= $9 F
c. Labor Rate Variance = (Actual Rate - Standard Rate) x Actual hours
= ($15 - $16) x 200
= $200 F
d. Labor Efficiency Variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) x Standard Rate
= (200 - 220) x $16
= $320 F
2. Description of the possible causes for this combination of these variances
a. This could be due to scarcity of resources or major demand for this material, thus prices increasing in the market. Or could be purchase of high quality material than budgeted.
b. This could be because of purchase of higher quality material thus lower damages and could also be due to the efficiency of manufacturing plants.
c.This could be because of the use of less qualified cheap labor.
d.This could be due to good management of labors and strict overseeing, co-ordination of their work activities.
At the beginning of the year, paid-in capital was $164 and retained earnings was $94. During the year, the stockholders invested $48 and dividends of $12 were declared and paid. Retained earnings at the end of the year were $104.
Net income for the year was:_______
Answer:
$22
Explanation:
From the question above, the paid in capital at the beginning of a year was $164
Retained earnings was $94
During the year the amount invested by stockholders was $48 and a dividend of $12 was declared and paid.
At the end of the year the retained earnings was $104
Therefore, the net income for the year can be calculated as follows
Net income= Retained earnings at the end of the year-retained earnings at the beginning of the year+dividend
Net income= $104-$94+$12
= $22
Hence the net income for the year was $22
The new union president has proposed a couple of ideas that are very unusual: 1. "We should make an effort to help solve problems in the business." 2. "We should encourage our members who have the right experience and training to apply for supervisor jobs." Are these ideas good or not?

1. A stock has an expected return of 10.2 percent, the risk-free rate is 4.1 percent, and the market risk premium is 7.2 percent. What must the beta of this stock be?
Answer:
Beta is 0.85
Explanation:
The value of Beta can de derived from the CAPM formula of expected return
expected return=risk-free rate+Beta*market risk premium
expected return is 10.2%
risk-free rate is 4.10%
market risk premium is 7.2%
Beta is unknown
10.20%=4.10%+Beta*7.20%
10.20%-4.10%=Beta*7.20%
6.10% ==Beta*7.20%
Beta=6.10% /7.20%
Beta= 0.85
The tables show the spending and revenue for Littleland in 2010. Use the tables and other information to answer the questions. Spending category Value (millions) education $320 welfare and Social Security $890 health care $270 defense $120 payments on debt $170* other $240 *This payment covers total interest owed only. Revenue category Value (millions) income tax $800 sales tax $270 corporate tax $300 social insurance $340 GDP in 2010: $7.3 billion Total debt as of 2009: $3.5 billion How much money (in millions) did Littleland need to borrow in 2010 to finance its government spending
Answer:
$300 million
Explanation:
The computation of debt is shown below:-
But before that we need to determine the following amounts
Total Expenditure = Spending on Education + Spending on Welfare and social security + Spending on Healthcare + Spending on Defense + Payments on Debt + Other Spending
= $320 + $890 + $270 + $120 + $170 + $240
= $2,010 million
Total Revenue = Income Tax + Sales Tax + Corporate Tax + Social Insurance
= $800 + $270 + $300 + $340
= $1710 million
Debt or borrowed amount =Total expenditure - Total revenue
= $2,010 - $1,710
= $300 million

Ireland Corporation obtained a $40,000 note receivable from a customer on June 30, 2011. The note, along with interest at 6%, is due on June 30, 2012. On September 30, 2011, Ireland discounted the note at Cloverdale bank. The bank's discount rate is 10%. What amount of cash did Ireland receive from Cloverdale Bank
Answer:
$39,220
Explanation:
The maturity value of the note receivable on June 30, 2012
= Principal + Interest
= $40,000 + $40,000 x 6%
= $40,000 + $2,400
= $ 42,400
The note is discounted on September 30, 2011. Time period remaining to go till maturity as on September 30, 2011
= 12 - 3 months ( July, Aug and Sep)
= 9 months.
Amount of deduction
= $ 42,400 x 10% x 9/12
= $ 3,180
Finally, the Cash received by Ireland will be
= Maturity value - Discount
= $42,400 - $ 3,180
= $39,220
Do you think the Business practices in an Islamic country are likely differ from Business practices in the United States? If so, how?
Explanation:
Yes, the business practices of an Islamic country certainly differ from the business practices of the United States, starting with the significant cultural differences between those countries, including differences in the rules of etiquette, employee benefits, communication, the presence of women in the workplace, etc.
There is also strict government control in companies in Islamic countries, which obliges them to follow certain religious laws and regulations, which prevents them from managing an organization more aggressively with regard to paying interest and establishing a culture geared towards receiving "fair" profits, while business in the United States survives without obligation to comply with religious laws or impede profit.

Use the following information . On January 1, 2018, Dennis Company purchased land for an office site by paying $540,000 cash. Dennis began construction on the office building on Jan 1. The following expenditures were incurred for construction: Date Expenditures January 1, 2018 $ 360,000 April 1, 2018 504,000 May 1, 2018 900,000 June 1, 2018 1,440,000 The office was completed and ready for occupancy on July 1st of the following year. To help pay for construction, $720,000 was borrowed on January 1, 2018 on a 9%, 3-year note payable. Other than the construction note, the only debt outstanding during 2018 was a $300,000, 12%, 6-year note payable dated January 1, 2016. Assume the weighted-average accumulated expenditures for the construction project are $870,000. The amount of interest cost to be capitalized during 2018 is:___________.
Answer:
$82,800
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of interest cost to be capitalized during 2018 is shown below:-
Amount of interest cost to be capitalized = (Borrowed amount × Rate of interest) + ($300,000 ÷ 2 × Rate of interest)
= ($720,000 × 9%) + ($150,000 × 12%)
= $82,800
Therefore for computing the amount of interest cost to be capitalized during 2018 we simply applied the above formula.
You find that the bid and ask prices for a stock are $14.25 and $15.45, respectively. If you purchase or sell the stock, you must pay a flat commission of $30. If you buy 100 shares of the stock and immediately sell them, what is your total implied and actual transaction cost in dollars
Answer:
$180
Explanation:
The bid price of a stock is $14.25
The ask-price of a stock is $15.45
A flat commission of $30 must be paid in the stock
100 shares of stock are bought
Therefore, the total implied and actual transaction costs can be calculated as follows
= Commission+(ask price-bid price)×number of shares
= 30×2+($15.45-$14.25)×100
= 60+ 1.2×100
= 60+120
= $180
Hence the total implied and actual transaction cost is $180
Macintosh Inc. changed from LIFO to the FIFO inventory costing method on January 1, 2021.
Inventory values at the end of each year since the Inception of the company are as follows:
FIFO LIFO
2019 $196,000 $178,000
2020 392,000 356,000
Required:
Ignoring Income tax considerations. prepare the entry to report this accounting change
Answer:
You only need to adjust the ending inventory for 2020, since the ending inventory for 2019 no effect on the income statement. This happens because FIFO always uses the first units purchased to determine the cost of goods sold, and after one year, there is no real effect on net income.
The adjustment for ending inventory 2020 should be:
Dr Merchandise inventory 36,000
Cr Cost of goods sold 36,000
This adjustment will decrease the expenses during 2020 and increase that year's net income.
If 200,000 machine‐hours are budgeted for variable overhead at a standard rate of $5/machine‐hour, but 220,000 machine‐hours were actually used at an actual rate of $6/machine‐hour, what is the variable overhead efficiency variance?
