Answer:
I considered an Automobile manufacturer of cars in Japan in this case. the company is famous for manufacturing small and medium sized affordable cars in the market in a small lead time of introduction.
The contingencies that are most crucial for the company are the scarcity of low cost labor in its home country Japan, the increased competition in the same segment that is low cost of cars, in every country where the company operates.
The company is organised in the best form because it has a particular custom that has a strong hierarchical structure with little room to flexibility. it is a functional structure.
Explanation:
Solution
Let us consider a major automobile manufacturer of Japan in this context. the company is well established in Japan as well as in global automobile market in the last 30 years.
The company is known for manufacturing small and medium sized affordable cars in the market in a small lead time of introduction. the success of the company is primary on the efficiency improvement, lean operations and economics of scale.
Thus
The contingencies that are most important for this company is shown below:
Scarcity of low cost labor in its home country Japan.The lack of competitive advantages and unique resources to retain the same.The increased competition in the same segment that is low cost of cars, in every country where the company operates.The company has followed a particular custom that has a strong hierarchical structure with little room to flexibility. it is a functional structure.
With the present expansion in different market the functional structure may not be efficient and effective for the company.
The company has 15 employees, who earn a total of $1,960 in salaries each working day. They are paid each Monday for their work in the five-day workweek ending on the previous Friday. Assume that December 31, 2015, is a Tuesday, and all 15 employees worked the first two days of that week. Because New Year's Day is a paid holiday, they will be paid salaries for five full days on Monday, January 6, 2016. Use the information to prepare adjusting entries as of December 31, 2015.
Answer:
Preparation of the adjusting entries as of December 31, 2015.
Dr Salaries Expense 3,920
Cr Salaries Payable 3,920
Explanation:
Since we were been told in the question that all the 15 employees worked the first 2 days of that week, the Adjustment we therefore be $3,920( 1,960×2) . And the transaction will be recorded as:
Dr Salaries Expense 3,920
Cr Salaries Payable 3,920
The Adjustment will be :
1,960 x 2 = 3,920
Therefore the pay that occured in New Year's Day will not be used because it falls in the next year.
At an open house the listing agent begins giving advice to a prospective buyer regarding how much to offer for the house, without explaining that she is a representative of the sellers. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
a. the agent is not acting in accordance with her agency status
b. the agent is acting as an undisclosed dual agent
c. the agent has breached fiduciary duties to both parties
d. the agent has not violated any duties, because she is not performing real estate services for the buyers
Answer:
d. The agent has not violated any duties, because she is not performing real estate services for the buyers
Explanation:
Here, at the open house, the agent, without proper introduction and without explaining that she represents the seller, started giving advice to a prospective buyer regarding the amount to offer for the house. By offering advice to the buyer and not disclosing who she represents, the agent is now acting as an undisclosed dual agent, also she has breached the loyalty duties to both parties. The agent is also not acting in accordance with her agency status.
Therefore the incorrect option is option D.) The agent has not violated any duties, because she is not performing real estate services for the buyers

Consider the following case of Free Spirit Industries Inc :
Suppose Free Spirit Industries Inc. is considering a project that will require $400,000 in assets:
• The company is small, so it is exempt from the interest deduction limitation under the new tax law.
• The project is expected to produce earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $45,000.
• Common equity outstanding will be 10,000 shares.
• The company incurs a tax rate of 25%."
If the project is financed using 100% equity capital, then Free Spirit Industries Inc.'s return on equity (ROE) on the project will be____________. In addition, Free Spirit's earnings per share (EPs) will be____________
Alternatively, Free Spirit Industries Inc.'s CFO is also considering financing the project with 50% debt and 50% equity capital. The interest rate on the company's debt will be 12%. Because the company will finance only 50% of the project with equity, it will have only 12, 500 shares outstanding. Free Spirit Industries Inc.'s ROE and the company's EPS will be_____________ if management decides to finance the project with 50% debt and 50% equity.
Typically, the use of financial average will make the probability distribution of ROIC:__________
Answer:
Return on equity (ROE) on the project will be 8.43%. In addition, Free Spirit's earnings per share (EPs) will be $3.375 per share
ROE and the company's EPS will be 7.875% if management decides to finance the project with 50% debt and 50% equity.
The use of financial average will make the probability distribution of ROIC $4.5
Explanation:
Calculation of When the company financed with 100% equity
Using this formula
ROE = (EBIT – Interest)(1-Tax Rate)/Equity
Let plug in the formula
When financed with 100% equity,
ROE = 45,000(1-25%)/400,000
ROE=45,000(0.75)/400,000
ROE=33,750/400,000
ROE=8.43
Calculation for the Free Spirit's earnings per share (EPs)
EPS = (45,000)(1-25%)/10,000
EPS=45,000*0.75/10,000
EPS=33,750/10,000
= $3.375 per share
Calculation of When the company financed with 50% Debt
50%×400,000=200,00
ROE = (45,000 – 200,000*12%)(1-25%)/200,000
ROE=21,000×0.75/200,000
ROE=15,750/200,000
ROE=
= 7.875%
EPS = Net Income/Outstanding shares
EPS=45,000/10,000
EPS.=4.5 per share
Hence,7.875 % and $4.5 respectively
Suppose your friend is a music major who sings at weddings. She has no fixed or marginal costs for singing and has two types of customers: 20 customers think it is worth paying $200 to have her sing at their wedding, whereas 10 customers think her singing services are worth only $100. Il earn S if she can charge only one price to:________.
(a) If your friend is able to sing at each wedding and maximizes profits all customers.
(b) She will earn S If she can perfectly price discriminate.
Answer: a. $4,000
b. $5,000
Explanation:
a. If she can sing at each wedding but decides to maximise profits, she will only sing at the weddings of those paying her $200 as it is the higher of the two payment options.
Should she sing at the $200 customer weddings, she would make;
= 20 people * $200
= $4,000
b. Price Discrimination is the charging of different types of customers different prices for the same or similar goods.
If your friend knows how to perfectly charge the two different groups the different prices that they value her at then she will be able to attend and sing at both weddings making her revenue;
= (10* $100) + (20 * $200)
= 1,000 + 4,000
= $5,000
Botox Facial Care had earnings after taxes of $350,000 in 20X1 with 200,000 shares of stock outstanding. The stock price was $72.50. In 20X2, earnings after taxes increased to $420,000 with the same 200,000 shares outstanding. The stock price was $83.00. a. Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X1. (The P/E ratio equals the stock price divided by earnings per share.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.) b. Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X2. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.) c. Why did the P/E ratio change
Answer:
a. Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X1.
EPS = $1.75 per stock
P/E ratio = 41.43
b. Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X2.
EPS = $2.10 per stock
P/E ratio = 39.52
Explanation:
after taxes net income $350,000 in 20x1
200,000 outstanding common stocks
stock price $72.50
after taxes net income $420,000 in 20x2
200,000 outstanding common stocks
stock price $83.00
EPS = net income / outstanding stocks
20x1 = $350,000 / 200,000 = $1.75 per stock
20x2 = $420,000 / 200,000 = $2.10 per stock
P/E ratio = stock price / EPS
20x1 = $72.50 / $1.75 = 41.43
20x2 = $83.00 / $2.10 = 39.52
Bill Phillips is developing a Monte Carlo simulation to value a complex and thinly traded security. Phillips wants to model one input variable to have negative skewness and a second input variable to have positive excess kurtosis. In a Monte Carlo simulation, Phillips can appropriately use:_________
Answer: Both of them
Explanation:
The Monte Carlo Simulation is a forecasting technique that allows one to find out the probability of occurence of different outcomes which may be difficult to come up with because there are multiple random variables involved.
Monte Carlo simulations are used in many diverse fields such as Finance, Engineering and Science.
As earlier mentioned, this simulation allows for multiple random variables so Phillips can use it to model both the variables to have different characteristics.

25%C) What is the degree of operating leverage?
41. Using the degree of operating leverage and without changing anything in your worksheet, calculate the percentage change in net operating income if unit sales increase by 20%.
if unit sales increase by 20%, then profits should increase by 80%2. Confirm your calculations in Requirement 3 above by increasing the unit sales in your worksheet by 20%
A. What is net operating income?
(10,000 x 1.2 x $20) - (10,000 x 1.2 x $8) - $90,000 = $240,000 - $96,000 - $90,000 = $54,000B. By what percentage did the net operating income increase?
net operating income increased from $30,000 to $54,000 (an 80% increase)Explanation:
selling price $20
variable costs $8
contribution margin $12
break even point = $90,000 / $12 = 7,500 x $20 = $150,000
margin of safety = (current sales - break even) / current sales = $50,000 / $200,000 = 25%
degree of operating leverage = (quantity x contribution margin) / [(quantity x contribution margin) - fixed costs] = (10,000 x $12) / ($120,000 - $90,000) = $120,000 / $30,000 = 4
or contribution margin / net profits = $120,000 / $30,00 = 4

The total Equivalent units are obtained by adding the percent of the units in the ending work in process inventory to the units completed and transferred out. This is the average weighted method of finding the equivalent units.
As only conversion is required we found out the conversion units only.
Thornton, Inc., had taxable income of $128,267 for the year. The company's marginal tax rate was 35 percent and its average tax rate was 24 percent. How much did the company have to pay in taxes for the year?
Answer:
$30784.08
Explanation:
Taxable income can be refer to as the amount of income used to calculate how much tax an organisation owes to the government in a particular tax year.
Thornton Inc. had taxable income of $128,267 for the year
The company's marginal tax rate is 35 percent
The company's average tax rate is 24 percent
To know how much did the company have to pay in taxes for the year, we multiply the Taxable income by the Company Average tax rate for the year.
=$128,267 * 24%
=$128,267 * 0.24
=$30784.08
Thornton Inc will pay $30784.08 for the year.

April 5 $10 April 10 $12 April 15 $14 April 20 $16 April 22 $17 One unit is sold on April 25. The company uses the weighted average inventory costing method. Identify the cost of the ending inventory on the balance sheet. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $55.20
Explanation:
The Weighted Average Cost method of valuing inventory averages the cost of the entire inventory in stock and then uses the resultant cost to value all of the inventory.
As it is an average, it works by adding up all the costs and dividing by the number of units.
1 unit of each good costing the prices listed were purchased so,
= $10 + $12 + $14 + $16 + $17
= $69
5 units were purchased so the average is,
= 69/5
= $13.80 is the cost per inventory unit.
One unit was sold on April 25
4 units therefore remain.
Cost of ending inventory is,
= 13.80 * 4
= $55.20

Gross national product gnp would include Select one: a. Final goods and services produced by American resources b. Final goods and services produced in other countries by US firms c. Final goods and services produced in the United States by US firms d. Final goods and services produced in the United States
Answer:
Option D, Final goods, and services produced in the United States.
Explanation:
Option D is correct because the gross national product is the value of all goods and services produced in the domestic boundary of a nation during the accounting year and all the net factor income from abroad. Since there is a lack of information regarding the net factor income from abroad in the question, so just consider the value of final goods and services produced in the domestic territory that will be part of GNP.
Small business owners' unique selling points (also known as benefits) that customers can expect from your goods or services, including benefits that differentiate your offering from those of the competition is known as:
Answer: Value proposition

A company wants to determine its reorder point (R). Demand is variable and they want to build a safety stock into R. The company wants to have a service level of 95 percent. If average daily demand is 8, lead time is 3 days and the standard deviation of demand during lead time is 2, what is the desired value of R
Answer: 27.28 units
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that a company wants to determine its reorder point (R) and that demand is variable and they want to build a safety stock into R. We have also been given the information that the company wants to have a service level of 95 percent and that average daily demand is 8, lead time is 3 days and the standard deviation of demand during lead time is 2.
It should be noted that a service level of 95% will have a desired z score of 1.64. To get the desired value of R, we multiply the average daily demand by the number of the days in lead time and then add to the multiplication between the standard deviation during the lead time and the desired z score. Mathematically, this will be expressed as:
= (8 × 3) + (2 × 1.64)
= 24 + 3.28
= 27.28
Therefore, the desired value of R = 27.28 units

Spencer Company purchased a tractor at a cost of $360,000 on January 1, 2019. The tractor has an estimated salvage value of $60,000 and an estimated life of 8 years. If Spencer uses the straight-line method, what is the book value at January 1, 2023
Answer:
$210,000
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
( $360,000 - $60,000) / 8 = $37,500
Depreciation expense each year of the useful life would be $37,500.
Book value in 2023 = Cost of asset - accumulated deprecation
There are 4 years between January 1, 2019 and January 1, 2023.
Accumulated depreciation = $37,500 x 4 = $150,000
Book value = $360,000 - $150,000 = $210,000

On January 1, a company has 700,000 shares of issued and outstanding common stock. On March 1, the company repurchases 60,000 shares. On June 1, it effects a 2-for-1 stock split. On November 1, it issues 240,000 shares. The company has a net income for the year of $2,720,000.
Required:
What is the basic earnings per share of common stock for the year (rounded to the nearest cent)?
Answer:
Basic EPS = 1.8
Explanation:
March 1 outstanding shares = 700,000 - 60,000= 640,000
June 1 outstanding shares = 640,000 × 2 = 1,280,000
November 1 outstanding shares = 1,280,000 + 240,000 =1,520,000
Net income = $2,720,000.
Basic earnings per shares (EPS) =
income available to ordinary shareholders/Number of shares outstanding
=$2,720,000/1,520,000 units = 1.789
Basic EPS = 1.8
When a bank has excess reserves, it can choose to turn its reserves into loans for consumers and businesses. Generally speaking, when banks increase the number of loans available, interest rates will
Answer:
reduce
Explanation:
Note that the bank has excess funds and thus wants to increase the number of available loans which in turn increases investment in the economy. For this strategy to work, the bank will reduce the interest rate it places on loans in order to entice its customers to procure the loans it offers.
For example, a bank that usually gives out 150 loans at 15% Interest rate may because of new banking policy and excess reserve decide to increase its loan capacity to around 300 loans per annum at an interest rate of 10%.
Ms. Parker would like to have $99.000 buy a new car in 8 yearsTo accumulate $99,000 in years, how much should she invest monthly in a sinking tund with 3% Interest compounded monthly?
Answer:
$1,161.23
Explanation:
For computing the monthly payment we need to apply the PMT formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $99,000
Future value or Face value = $0
RATE = 3% ÷ 12 months = 0.25
NPER = 8 years × 12 months = 96 months
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the monthly payment is $1,161.23

You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks (If one of the stocks has a beta of 0.66 and the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio? (Hint: Remember that the market has a Beta=1; also remember that equally invested means that each asset has the same weight- since there are 3 assets, each asset's weight is 1/3 or 0.3333). Enter the answer with 4 decimals (e.g. 1.1234)
Answer:
The beta of the other stock or stock B is 2.34
Explanation:
The beta of the portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. To calculate the beta for the portfolio, we use the following formula,
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolioAs the portfolio is equally as risky as the market, the portfolio beta is assumed to be the same as that of the market and the beta is 1.
The beta is the measure of systematic risk and a risk free asset does not have risk and has a beta of 0.
To calculate the Beta of stock B in the portfolio, we simply put the available values in the formula for the portfolio beta,
1 = 1/3 * 0 + 1/3 * 0.66 + 1/3 * Beta of B
1 = 0 + 0.22 + 1/3 * Beta of B
1 - 0.22 = 1/3 * Beta of B
0.78 * 3 = 1 * Beta of B
2.34 = Beta of B
Thus, the beta of the other stock or stock B is 2.34
On February 22, Brett Corporation acquired 250 shares of its $3 par value common stock for $26 each. On March 15, the company resold 66 shares for $29 each. What is true of the entry for reselling the shares
Answer: Credit Additional Paid in Capital $198
Explanation:
Brett Corporation reissued the Treasury Stock at $29 which was $3 higher than the amount they had repurchased it for.
When stock is sold for a price higher or lower than they are worth, the balance goes to the Additional Paid-in Capital account. If it is sold higher, the balance is Credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account and if it is sold for lower than it is worth, it is debited.
The Balance here is,
= $3 * 66 resold shares
= $198
This $198 will therefore be credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account.
