Vaughn Manufacturing, has 14900 shares of 4%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 60000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2021. There were no dividends declared in 2019. The board of directors declares and pays a $102000 dividend in 2020 and in 2021. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2021
Answer:
$25,200
Explanation:
The computation of the dividend received by the common stockholder for the year 2021 is shown below:
The Annual preferred dividend is
= 14,900 × $100 × 4%
= $59,600
Dividend due to preferred dividend in 2020
= Arrears of 2019 + Dividend of 2020
= $59,600 + $59,600
= $119,200
But the Dividend Paid in 2020 is $102,000
Arrears of dividend at the end of 2020 (Preferred) is
= $119,200 - $102,000
= $17,200
Now,
Dividend paid to preferred in 2021 = 2021 dividend + Arrears
= $59,600 + $17,200
= $76,800
Now Dividend paid to Common stockholders in 2021 is
= Total dividend - Dividend paid to preferred in 2021
= $102,000 - $76,800
= $25,200

MyPillow uses television advertising and wanted to see whether the TV ads reached more viewers during the daytime spots or the prime-time spots. MyPillow wanted to adjust its TV spots to reach the greatest number of viewers. To get real-time reactions, MyPillow decided to conduct mobile market research because _______. a. most people do not multitask using smartphones b. using a mobile app is difficult and confusing c. most people do not use their desktop computers while watching TV d. fewer respondents are reached than in conducting telephone research
Answer:
c
Explanation:
If MyPillow wants to get real time update, it means it wants to get update as people are watching tv. In order to reach its audience, it would be right to reach them on the medium they use while watching tv. If most people do not use their desktop computers while watching TV , it would not be appropriate to use desktop computers.
But if people watch tv and use their phone, the appropriate means of carrying this research is through mobile.
The demand for spring water at the SLC WalMart is 600 liters per week. The setup cost for placing an order to replenish inventory is $25. The order is delivered by the supplier which charges WalMart $0.10/liter for the cost of transportation from the Rocky Mountains to SLC. This transportation cost increases the cost of water to $1.25/liter. The water loses its freshness while stored at the SLC WalMart. To account for this, the WalMart charges an annual holding cost of $2.6/liter.
Required:
a. Determine the WalMart's Economic Order Quantity (in liters)?
b. How often should WalMart order for water (in weeks) ?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the ideal order quantity a company should purchase to minimize inventory costs such as holding costs, shortage costs, and order costs.
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]
D= Demand in units
S= Order cost
H= Holding cost
Since:
D= 600*52= 31,200
S= $25
H= $2.6
Replacing:
EOQ= 2√[(2*31,200*25) / 2.6]
EOQ= 775 units
To calculate the time between orders, we need to use the following formula:
Time between orders= EOQ / Weekly demand
Timer between orders= 775 / 600
Time between orders= 1.3 weeks

In 2019 a 90% owned subsidiary had $60,000 of unrealized gains on intercompany sales to its parent. In 2020 the subsidiary sold $200,000 of goods to its parent and had $30,000 of unrealized gains. In 2020 parent reports Cost of Goods Sold of $4,000,000 and sub reports Cost of Goods Sold of $1,000,000. How much is Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold
Answer:
Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold is $4,970,000.
Explanation:
A 90% owned subsidiary presents a controlling interest and consolidated financial statements must be prepared by the Parent company.
In preparing consolidated financial statements, any transactions between the parent and subsidiary (Intragroup transactions) must be eliminated.
At Beginning of the year
Recognize the unrealized gains on intercompany sales as follows ;
Debit : Retained Earnings $60,000
Credit : Cost of Sales $60,000
During the year 2020
Eliminate unrealized gains on intercompany sales as follows
Debit : Cost of Sales $30,000
Credit : Inventory $30,000
Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold
To determine the Cost of Goods Sold add 100 % of Parent and 100% of Subsidiary and also remember to effect the journals above as follows :
Cost of Goods Sold = $4,000,000 + $1,000,000 - $60,000 + $30,000
= $4,970,000
Conclusion
Therefore, Consolidated Cost of Goods Sold is $4,970,000.

a-3 Fixed cost variance is unfavorable (U).
b-1 Sales price variance = $3,750
b-2 Sales volume variance = -$1,500
b-3 Fixed cost variance = -$20,000
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete an the data in its are merged together. The complete question with the sorted data are therefore provided as follows:
Question 1: Sales price variance, sales volume variance, and fixed cost variance
Budgeted Actual
Price $300 $350
Sales volume in units 80 75
Unit VC $100 $120
Fixed costs $100,000 $120,000
a) Without computations, characterize the following variances as favorable or unfavorable:
sales price variance F U
sales volume variance F U
fixed cost variance F U
b) Compute the following variances. Enter favorable variances as a positive number and unfavorable variances as a negative number. Do NOT enter F or U after the number.
sales price variance
sales volume variance F U
fixed cost variance
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
a) Without computations, characterize the following variances as favorable or unfavorable:
a-1 Sales price variance F U
When the Actual price is greater than the Budgeted price, Sales price variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual price is less than the Budgeted price, Sales price variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual price is greater than the Budgeted price in this question, the Sales price variance is favorable (F).
a-2 Sales volume variance F U
When the Actual sales volume in units is greater than the Budgeted sales volume in units, Sales volume variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual sales volume in units is less than the Budgeted sales volume in units, Sales volume variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual sales volume in units is less than the Budgeted sales volume in units in this question, the Sales volume variance is unfavorable (U).
a-3 Fixed cost variance F U
When the Actual Fixed costs is less than the Budgeted Fixed costs, Fixed costs variance is favorable (F). But when the Actual Fixed costs is greater than the Budgeted Fixed costs, Fixed costs variance is unfavorable (U).
Since the Actual Fixed costs is greater than the Budgeted Fixed costs in this question, the Fixed costs variance is unfavorable (U).
b) Compute the following variances. Enter favorable variances as a positive number and unfavorable variances as a negative number. Do NOT enter F or U after the number.
b-1 Calculation of sales price variance
This can be calculated as follows:
Sales price variance = (Actual price - Budgeted price) * Actual sales volume in units = ($350 - $300) * 75 = $3,750
b-2 Calculation of sales volume variance
This can be calculated as follows:
Sales volume variance = (Actual sales volume in units - Budgeted sales volume in units) * Budgeted price = (75 - 80) * $300 = -$1,500
b-3 Calculation of fixed cost variance
Fixed cost variance = Actual fixed costs - Budgeted fixed costs = $120,00 - $100,000 = -$20,000

Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 12% and a standard deviation of 39%. The T-bill rate is 6%A client prefers to invest in your portfolio a proportion (y) that maximizes the expected return on the overall portfolio subject to the constraint that the overall portfolio's standard deviation will not exceed 30%. a. What is the investment proportion, y
Answer:
y = 0.76923076923 or 76.923076923% rounded off to 76.92%
So, 76.92% of the portfolio should be invested in risky portfolio.
Explanation:
The portfolio standard deviation for a portfolio consisting of two securities with one of them being the risk free security is calculated by multiplying the standard deviation of the risky security by the weightage of investment in the risky security as a proportion of the overall investment in portfolio. The formula can be written as follows,
Portfolio STDEV = Weight of Risky Asset * STDEV of risky asset
30% = y * 39%
30% / 39% = y
y = 0.76923076923 or 76.923076923% rounded off to 76.92%

Suppose at December 31 of a recent year, the following information (in thousands) was available for sunglasses manufacturer Oakley Inc.: ending inventory $170,000; beginning inventory $125,000; cost of goods sold $351,050 and sales revenue $761,000.
a. Calculate the inventory turnover for Oakley, Inc.
b. Calculate the days in inventory for Oakley, Inc.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The inventory turnover is
= Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $351,050 ÷ ($170,000 + $125,000) ÷ 2
= $351,050 ÷ $147,500
= 2.38 times
b. Now days in inventory is
= 365 ÷ inventory turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 2.38 times
= 153.36 days
Boehm Incorporated is expected to pay a $1.10 per share dividend at the end of this year (i.e., D1 = $1.10). The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4% a year. The required rate of return on the stock, rs, is 15%. What is the estimated value per share of Boehm's stock? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $
Answer:
$10
Explanation:
The dividend is $1.10
The constant rate is 4%
The required rate of return in the stock is 15%

1-When would high Do you think making employees happier at work is a good way of motivating people? When would high satisfaction not be related to high performance?
2-In your opinion, what are the three most important factors that make people dissatisfied with their job? What are the three most important factors relating to organizational commitment? satisfaction not be related to high performance
Answer:
DAYTON, Ohio -- For decades, employees and employers alike have followed the motto that job satisfaction determines job performance. Not so, according to a new study by Wright State University.
Nathan Bowling, an assistant professor who specializes in industrial and organizational psychology, said three decades of data derived from thousands of employees in a cross-section of jobs -- blue collar and white collar -- prove that although job satisfaction and job performance do correlate, one does not cause the other.
Even researchers, Bowling said, get confused about how the two things connect.

"On days when ice cream sales are high, the number of crimes committed will also tend to be high, but this doesn't mean that ice cream sales cause crime," he said. "Rather, ice cream sales and crime are related because each is the result of the outdoor temperature. Similarly, satisfaction and performance are related because each is the result of employee personality."
By personality, Bowling pointed to such characteristics as self-esteem, emotional stability, extroversion and conscientiousness.
Studies, Bowling said, show that employees who have an overall negative attitude to all things in life likely won't find job satisfaction, regardless of performance, because of their personality characteristics.
"Emotional stability matters a lot," he said. "People who are neurotic, those who tend to be anxious, depressed ... typically won't find satisfaction no matter how many jobs they try."
The same goes for those with low self-esteem, he added. Studies show that employees with high self-esteem tend to be more satisfied with their jobs than those who do not have that level of confidence.
"Simply put, workplace interventions designed to improve performance by exclusively targeting employee satisfaction are unlikely to be effective," Bowling said.
So how can you have both?
"There are ways to select employees who will be successful," Bowling said. "Studies show that intelligence is one of the things that drives the performance."
He said solid performing employees also exhibit a high level of conscientiousness -- those who are detail-oriented and hard workers and who set goals.
Managers have to consider several contingencies when deciding on the best arrangements for their organizations. One such contingency is the organization's environment, and managers must determine whether a mechanistic or an organic structure will work better under their particular circumstances. This activity is important because the type of organizational structure chosen can be critical to an organization's success. The goal of this exercise is to test your knowledge of the characteristics of these two different organizational structures. Select the most appropriate category (mechanistic or organic structure) for each step of the characteristics of organizations.

Answer:
Mechanistic structures are more centralized in nature. This makes them rigid as decisions come from the top but because there is little micro-management, the company will rely on clear rules for employees to get things done. Communication is vertical.
Organic structures on the other hand, are more decentralized. Communication is horizontal but goes vertical as well and rules are more flexible.

Which of the following statements are true?
a. Pellegrini Southern Corporation has less liquidity but also a greater reliance on outside cash flow to finance its short-term obligations than Jing Foodstuffs Corporation.
b. If a company’s current liabilities are increasing faster than its current assets, the company’s liquidity position is weakening.
c. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations.
d. Pellegrini Southern Corporation has a better ability to meet its short-term liabilities than Jing Foodstuffs Corporation.
e. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving.
Answer:
b. If a company’s current liabilities are increasing faster than its current assets, the company’s liquidity position is weakening. TRUE
higher liabilities respect to current assets, decrease the company's ability to meet its short term payments
c. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations. TRUE
the current ratio = current assets / current liabilities
the quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities
the difference between both shows the dependence on selling inventory to pay off debts.

Answer:
increase
decrease
frictional unemployment
a, b
Explanation:
Frictional unemployment . the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
As a result of the increase in price of cotton, the profit of making cotton would increase. So the production of cotton would increase and more labour would be needed
the cost of production for cotton producing firms would increase and this would discourage production. The demand for labour would increase
the government can reduce frictional unemployment by having policies that reduce the job search period and would incentivise labour to get employed quickly
