Answer:
Option A. The amount by which a company's value exceeds the value of its individual assets and liabilities
Explanation:
The reason is that goodwill not only measures the business valuable tangible and intangible assets but also the intangible assets that can not be valued which the company has earned due to its business operations, this includes customer loyalty, key employees, brand's value, etc.
This is the reason why the value of the company's aggregate assets are always above the aggregate market value of assets not sold altogether. Hence the option A is correct here.
The cost of direct materials transferred into the Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company is $538,900. The conversion cost for the period in the Bottling Department is $592,000. The total equivalent units for direct materials and conversion are 31,700 and 7,400, respectively. Determine the direct materials and conversion cost per equivalent unit.
Answer: 17 per unit; 80 per unit
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the cost of direct materials transferred into the Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company is $538,900 and that the conversion cost for the period in the Bottling Department is $592,000 while the total equivalent units for direct materials and conversion are 31,700 and 7,400, respectively.
The direct materials cost per equivalent unit will be the cost of direct materials that is transferred into the Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company which is $538,900 divided by the total equivalent units for direct materials which is 31700. This will be:
= $538,900/31700
= 17 per unit
The conversion cost per equivalent unit will be the conversion cost for the period in the Bottling Department which is $592,000 divided by the total equivalent units for conversion which is 7,400. This will be:
= $59200/7400
= 80 per unit

A lumber mill is capable of producing 10,000 board feet of lumber per day when run ten hours per day with minimal breaks. Over the past year, forestry legislation has reduced the availability of raw materials, so the mill has produced an average of 4,575 board feet per day. What is the utilization of the plant
Answer:
45.75%
Explanation:
When asking for the utilization of the plant, the question is basically referring to how much of its full potential is the plant currently operating at. Therefore this can be calculated by dividing its current output (4,575) by its maximum output (10,000) like so...
4,575 / 10,000 = 0.4575
Now we multiply that by 100 in order to get the percentage.
0.4575 * 100 = 45.75%
Therefore the current utilization of the plant is 45.75%
Dividends are expected to grow at 25% per year during the next three years, 15% over the following year and then 6% per year indefinitely. The required return on this stock is 9% and the stock currently sells for $79 per share. What is the projected dividend for the second year
Answer:
$1.56
Explanation:
Lets assume the dividend paid for year zero is $1. The growth for the first 3 years is 25% which is given in the question. Now we will find the value of the Projected dividend for year 2 using the compounding formula, as under:
The Projected dividend for year 1 = $1 * (1 + 25%)^ 2 years = $1.56

What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?
Cash Flow amount $ _____
Answer:
$25,760,000
Explanation:
The net amount of decrease and increase of cash a business or individual owns.
To find the proper cash flow amount used as the initial investment in fixed assets, use the following:
Calculation of initial investment outflow = cost of land + cost of plant + grading cost
= $9,600,000 + 15,200,000, + $960,000
= $25,760,000
Calculation of initial investment outflow = $25,760,000
Therefore the initial investment outflow is $25,760,000
If workers leave a country to seek out better opportunities in another country, then this will move the original economy up along a stationary short-run aggregate supply curve. move the original economy down along a stationary short-run aggregate supply curve. shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the left. shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the right.
Answer: Shift the short-run aggregate supply curve of the original country to the left.
Explanation:
Workers are an input in the production of goods and services. If workers in an economy reduce in number, this would mean that there would be less workers able to produce goods and services in the country. This will invariably lead to a decrease in the amount of goods and services supplied and when there is a decrease in supply, the Short-Run Aggregate Supply curve will shift to the left to reflect this.

Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceeds import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
the following items aren't included in the calculation of GDP because they are used items and were included in the year they were produced. adding them to GDP would be regarded as double counting
a. a used skateboard you buy for your brother
d. used copy of the tony hawk video game
e. previously owned collectors skateboard
h. Wheels used to produce a skateboard that will be sold new aren't included in the calculation of GDP because it an intermediate product used in the production of skateboards.
ticket for the X games bought from a person on a street corner aren't included in the calculation of GDP because they have already been paid for.

What are the arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor
Answer:
The arithmetic average time-weighted rates of return for the investor is 4.19%
The geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor is 2.124%
Explanation:
The arithmetic average return is simple average returns of stocks, calculated as: Arithmetic average return = Sum of returns/ number of years
While geometric average return is calculated as: Geometric average return = number of years√ {(1+r1)*(1+r2)*(1+r3)…} -1
Where r1, r2, r3…are the returns for year 1, 2, 3….
Yearly Return = {(capital gains + dividend)/price}*100
Return from 2017-2018= {(200 - 170) + 3} /170 *100 = 19.41%
Return from 2018-2019 = {(150 - 200) + 3} /200*100 = -23.5%
Return from 2019-2020 = {(170 - 150) + 5} /150 *100 = 16.67%
Hence, Arithmetic mean = (19.41% -23.5% +16.67%)/3 = 12.58%/3 = 4.19%
While Geometric mean = [(1+19.41%)*(1-23.5%) *(1+16.67%)] ^ (1/3) -1
= (1.1941 *0.7650 * 1.1667) ^1/3 – 1 = 0.02124 = 2.124%
The arithmetic average time-weighted rates of return for the investor is 4.19%
The geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor is 2.124%

n applying the lower of cost or market rule, the inventory of rehab equipment would be valued at: A) $315. B) $247. C) $150. D) $235.
Answer:
D) $235.
Explanation:
As we know that the inventory should be valued at cost or market value whichever is lower
In the given case
Selling price = $340
Net realizable value is
= Selling price - cost of sell
= $340 - $25
= $315
Replacement cost is $235
Cost = $250
As we can see that the replacement cost is less than the cost so the replacement cost should be valued i.e $235
In 1985, a given Japanese imported automobile sold for 1,476,000 yen, or $8,200. If the car still sold for the same amount of yen today but the current exchange rate is 144 yen per dollar, what would the car be selling for today in U.S. dollars?
Answer:
The car will be selling for $10250 today
Explanation:
To calculate the selling price of the car in dollars today, we have to convert the value of 1476000 yen into dollars based on the exchange rate between dollars and yen today. It is known that the car will be sold for the same amount of yen today for which it was sold in 1985 and this amount is 1476000 yen.
We know that 1 dollar equals 144 yen.
Thus, let x be the number of dollars that equal 1476000 yen today.
x = 1476000 / 144
x = $10250
The car will be sold for $10250 today

Group 2 consists of 4960 pieces that are expected to sell for $0.31 each. Group 3 consists of 310 pieces that are expected to sell for $0.67 each. Using the relative sales value method, what is the cost per item in Group 1
Answer:
