Answer:
a. 2.50:1
Explanation:
Calculation for Current ratio
First step is to Calculate the Total current assets :
Cash $130,000
Accounts receivables $100,000
Inventory $110,000
Prepaid insurance $60,000
Total current assets (a) $400,000
Second step is to Calculate the Total current liabilities :
Accounts payable $140,000
Salaries and wages payable $20,000
Total current liabilities (b) $160,000
Now let find the current ratio using this formula
Current ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities
Let plug in the formula
Current ratio =$400,000 / $160,000
Current ratio =2.50 : 1
Therefore the Current ratio will be 2.50 : 1
Case ScenarioOver the past four years, the LSS organization, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, has become renowned nationally for its Camp Noah project. Following floods, tornadoes or other weather emergencies, children lose their daily routine, their schools and oftentimes their homes. Parents are often stressed and unavailable during emergencies, and children have few resources to help them understand their situation. In Camp Noah, volunteers with skills in child psychology and counseling meet in a two day support group environment with children in flood ravaged areas. They encourage the children to share their stories and develop important resiliency skills and learn how to cope emotionally with the disaster.Due to the need for such services, LSS has developed a training system that lets them partner with resource organizations located near flood or tornado areas. They have partnered with many local organizations around the U.S. to train, equip and empower volunteers to staff local camps attended by children during their summer vacation. LSS also provides pre-packaged Camp Noah supplies that range from workbooks, crayons and puppets to a quilt for each child.Recently, powerful rainstorms in southeastern France triggered flash flooding that displaced more than 1000 families, and left 200,000 people without electricity for more than two weeks. City officials in France called the LSS Director of Camp Noah Services, Chris Walker, and asked if she could provide training and equip 20 volunteers in southeastern France to deliver the Camp Noah curriculum to up to 500 children. The French officials have asked that a decision to proceed be made within 2 weeks, and that the training and they want the equipment be delivered 6 weeks after the decision is made. Chris Walker wants to help but isn’t sure how to start. Currently, Camp Noah supplies are all written in English, and the counselor training documents are only written in English as well. The floods occurred in an area of France that has few English speakers.You are a contract employee who has been engaged to help LSS because you speak French fluently and because you are an expert, experienced project manager with great interpersonal skills. Your job is to assist the director, Chris Walker, during project initiation. If the project is approved, you may be asked to lead the remainder of the project as well. You and Chris have been in meetings together all day discussing the opportunity for a French Camp Noah. You’ve been listening very carefully and asking dozens of questions about the potential effort. Now, you’re ready to get started and put your considerable project management skills and knowledge to work.Questions based on above scenario and answer need to be 1/2 page long:1. Is this (or will this be) a project or operations? Justify your choice.2. What process group is this project currently in? How do you know?3. As an experienced project manager, you are aware that analyzing the environment in which a project operates is critically important. Select two (2) OPA and two (2) EEF that you believe are important to understand for this project. Apply these to the case scenario and justify why the four items you selected are important. 4. Once the decision is made to proceed with the project, Chris Walker, the director, will need to select a project manager. You know that LSS is a strong-matrix org. What does this mean in terms of how the project will be conducted and the role of the project manager? (5. You and Chris Walker, the director, will work on trying to define what project success will look like as you define the project objectives. What should you keep in mind about the process of writing objectives? Why are good statements of project objectives important to project success?
Answer and Explanation:
1. This is a project because it is carefully planned and follows a series of tasks to achieve a particular goal
2. Project is at initiation stage. It is yet to be approved and discussions are still on
3. Two organizational process assets (OPA) are : checklist, lessons database. Two Enterprise environmental factors(EEF): Organization management, group performance. EEF enable project managers understand their environment and factors that influence the project which may be beyond their control. OPAs here will enable organization learn from the knowledge base and everything other thing already acquired by management that can be used in the project or from projects initially executed by organization
4. Since LLS is a matrix organization(answering to both functional head and project manager), employees involved in the project would answer to project manager and project manager reports to functional head
5. The important to have in mind while writing project objectives is the goal of the project while considering threats and opportunities surrounding reaching the goal of the project. Clear objectives are important as they form guidelines to achieving project goal.

On January 1, 2021, the Moody Company entered into a transaction for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Osorio Company. To acquire these shares, Moody issued $400 in long-term liabilities and also issued 40 shares of common stock having a par value of $1 per share but a fair value of $10 per share. Moody paid $20 to lawyers, accountants, and brokers for assistance in bringing about this acquisition. Another $15 was paid in connection with stock issuance costs. Prior to these transactions, the balance sheets for the two companies were as follows:
Moody Osorio
Cash $180 $40
Receivables 810 180
Inventories 1,080 280
Land 600 360
Buildings (net) 1,260 440
Equipment (net) 480 100
Accounts payable (450) (80)
Long-term liabilities (1,290) (400)
Common stock ($1 par) (330)
Common stock ($20 par) (240)
Additional paid-in capital (1,080) (340)
Retained earnings (1,260) (340)
Note: Parentheses indicate a credit balance.
In Moody's appraisal of Osorio, three assets were deemed to be undervalued on the subsidiary's books: Inventory by $10, Land by $40, and Buildings by $60. Compute the amount of consolidated inventories at date of acquisition.
A. $1,080.
B. $1,420.
C. $1,065.
D. $1,425.
E. $1,440.
Answer:
$1,370
Explanation:
IFRS 3 states that Acquirer is deemed to have taken over the Assets and Liabilities at their Acquisition Fair Value in Acquired records.
Therefore,
We need to first revalue the Inventory shown in Osorio records upwards by $10.
Then we combine 100% of Moody`s Inventory with 100% of Osorio fair valued Inventory.
Calculation of Consolidated Inventory Balance
Moody`s Inventory $1,080
Osorio fair valued Inventory (280 + 10) $290
Inventory Balance $1,370
The readings suggest there are certain strategies for pricing new products, which is decidedly more difficult than adjusting prices to existing products. The new product pricing approaches are:
Skimming
Penetration
Everyday low prices
The pricing approaches discussed for existing products are:
Cost plus
Markup
Markdown
Odd-even pricing
Prestige pricing
Price lining
Demand backward pricing
Leader pricing
Sealed bid pricing
Going-rate pricing
Price bundling
Captive pricing
Product mix pricing
Two-part pricing
Promotional pricing
There is no shortage of pricing approaches, and as customers, we are exposed to all of them at some time or another in our purchasing processes.
Choose one of the pricing approaches and discuss the product, the pricing approach, and why you think it is the most appropriate approach for that particular product given your consumer characteristics. Be sure you understand the definition of your approach before tackling this topic.
Many of you will be tempted to use promotional pricing since it is the easiest to demonstrate. So promotional pricing is not "for sale" (pun intended). Pick one of the other approaches for this topic.
Answer:
Strategy - Prestige Pricing
Product - Female Bags
Explanation:
Another term for this is Premium Pricing or Image Pricing.
It's a pricing strategy where a product's price is set very high in order to create the impression that it is of very high quality. This strategy is mostly used if it is discovered that keeping the prices low will discourage sales or at best leave it dormant.
In order to use this strategy successfully, the manufacturers always take particular care to differentiate the product by including additional features to the product such as using high-quality materials.
The target market for this product is usually the influencers and love to show off. In order words, they are more particular about their image.
For this strategy to work, the manufacturer has to be consistent in the brand positioning and pay exceptional attention to fine details and finishing. It is also important to target consumers with high spending ability.
A real-world example of a business that uses this strategy is Nike.

You hit the lottery! You get offered $10 million now or $1 million a year for 13 years. Assume a 3 percent interest rate. Which would you choose and why
Answer:
I would choose to receive $1 million for 13 years because the present value of the cash flows is greater than 10 million
Explanation:
To determine which option i would choose, i have to calculate the present value of the second option
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 13 = $1 million
I = 3%
Present value = $10,634,955
I would choose to receive $1 million for 13 years because the present value of the cash flows is greater than 10 million - $10,634,955 > $10,000,000
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Option 2 should be considered since it contains more amount of present value as compared to option 1.
Calculation of the present value:
In option 1, it offered $10 million or $10,000,000
While in option 2, the interest rate is 3% and the time period is 13 years Also, the payment is $1 million
So here we need to determine the present value
PV = PMT x (1 - (1+i)-n / i )
PV = 1,000,000 x (1 - (1+0.03)-13 / 0.03 )
PV = 10,634,955.33
Based on this, the option 2 should be considered.

Jeremy Pruitt Ltd is considering the replacement of a delivery truck. The current truck could last for 3 more years. Operating costs are 5000 per year. We are currently depreciating it at 4000 per year. We could sell it at the end of the 3 years for 2000 with a book value of zero. If we purchase the new truck for 32000, we could use three year MACRS. We could sell the old truck now for 7000. Operating costs would drop to 1000 per year. We can sell the new truck for 15000 at the end of the 3rd year. Tax rate is 40%, WACC is 10%. Should we replace the truck?
Answer: NPV = - 4433
As the NPV of the replacement project is negative,
the truck should not be replaced.
Explanation:
0 1 2 3
Savings in operating costs (5000-1000): 4000 4000 4000
Incremental depreciation:-
Depreciation on the new truck 10666 14224 4739

Incremental NOPAT -1599 -3734 1956
Add: Incremental depreciation 6666 10224 739
Incremental OCF 5066 6490 2696
Capital expenditure:-
Cost of new truck 32000
Less: After tax salvage value of old
NOTE THAT, the book value = 4000*3 =
$12,000 (depreciation per annum is 4000
and three years life is left for the old machine)
truck = 7000 + (12000-7000) × 40% = 9000
Net initial investment 23000
Incremental terminal salvage value:-
After tax salvage value of new
truck = 15000 - (15000-2371)× 40% = 9948
Less: After tax salvage value lost on old
truck = 2000 × (1 - 40%) = 1200
Incremental net residual value 8748
After tax annual cash flows -23000 5066 6490 11444
PVIF at 10% 1 0.90909 0.82645 0.75131

CONCLUSION:
As the NPV of the replacement project is negative,
the truck should not be replaced.
Panarin Company entered into two contracts on the same date with Hjalmarsson Corporation. Pana has provided the following analysis of price and cost for the contracts: Hjalmarsson, the customer, may cancel both contracts if either of them is not fulfilled by Panarin in a timely manner. Stand-alone prices are typically $120,000 for the goods in Contract A and $80,000 for the goods in Contract B.
Required:
1. Should the two contracts be combined for purposes of applying the 5-step revenue recognition model?
2. What amount of revenue should Panarin associate with each of the contracts?
3. When should revenue be recognized on each of the contracts?
Here are some missing parts of your question.
contract price for a = 125,000, for b = 80,000
cost of related goods for a = 70,000 for b = 55,000
Explanation:
1. Both contracts should be combined for the the purpose of applying this model. so the answer is yes
2.
120000 + (5000 x 60%)
= 120000 + 3000
= $123000
80000 (5000 x 40%)
= 80000 + 2000
= $82000
from the question we were told that prices for Contract A is $120,000 while prices for Contract B is $80,000. the Contract price of Contract A put to be $125,000. so we have $5,000 more that should be shared between the contracts a and b. so the obligations for goods from A is calculated to be $123,000 and tht of contract B is $82,000.
c.
when control of goods is shifted to customer then the revenue has to be recognized

The December 31, 2015, balance sheet of Schism, Inc., showed long-term debt of $1,405,000, $141,000 in the common stock account, and $2,660,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The December 31, 2016, balance sheet showed long-term debt of $1,590,000, $151,000 in the common stock account, and $2,960,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The 2016 income statement showed an interest expense of $94,500 and the company paid out $146,000 in cash dividends during 2016. The firm’s net capital spending for 2016 was $970,000, and the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $126,000.
What was the firm's 2016 operating cash flow, or OCF? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Answer: $589,500
Explanation:
The cash flow to the creditors in 2016 will be calculated as:
= $94,500 – ($1,590,000 - $1,405,000)
= $94,500 – $1,590,000 + $1,405,000
= -$90,500
For the shareholders, the cash flow in 2016 will be:
= $146,000 – [($151,000 + $2,960,000) – ($141,000 + $2,660,000)]
= -$164,000
Capital spending = $970,000
Cash flow due to the net working capital investment = -$126,000
OCF
= -$90,500 + (-$164,000) + $970,000 + (-$126,000)
= $589,500

Assume that you are part of the accounting team for Logan Digital. The company currently expects to sell 362 units for total revenue of $16,300 each month. Logan Digital estimates direct materials costs of $3,150, direct labor costs of $4,200, variable overhead costs of $2,100, and variable selling and administrative costs of $1,050. Fixed costs of $4,800 are also expected, which includes fixed overhead and selling and administrative costs. Using this information, complete the contribution margin income statement shown below.
Logan Digital is examining cost behavior patterns. Your recommendation is to first determine the break-even point in units. First, calculate the contribution margin (CM) per unit (rounded to the nearest dollar).
Next, complete the formula below to determine the break-even units.
Total Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin per Unit = Units
A profit-volume graph helps managers to visualize the relationship between profits and units sold. The data for Logan Digital has been used to construct the profit-volume graph below. The purple points (diamond symbols) plot the profit line. The operating loss is the shaded area bordered by the red points (cross symbols). The operating profit is the area bounded by the green points (triangle symbols). Graph the correct profit-value graph.
APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Effect of Changes to Sales Price, Variable Costs and Fixed Costs
Now consider each of the following scenarios for Logan Digital. Calculate the contribution margin (CM) per unit, rounded to nearest dollar, and the new break-even point in units, rounded to the nearest whole unit, for each scenario separately.
Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3
Logan will dispose of a machine in the factory. The depreciation on that equipment is $500 per month. After some extensive market research, Logan has determined that a sales price increase of $2 per unit will not affect the sales volume and will be effective immediately. Logan has been experiencing quality problems with a materials supplier. Changing suppliers will improve the quality of the product but will cause direct materials costs to increase by $1 per unit.

1. All receivables that are expected to be realized in cash within a year are reported in the __________ section of the balance sheet. current assets investments noncurrent assets current liabilities
Answer:
A. current assets
Explanation:
In Financial accounting, Accounts Receivable are considered to be a current asset because it is the payment a business firm would receive from its customers for goods purchased or services taken on credit. Also, accounts receivable are recorded in the current assets section of the balance sheet because they add value to a business firm.
Generally, current assets are considered to be liquid because they are listed on the balance sheet in the order (descending) in which they are expected to turn or be converted to cash within a relatively short term period.
Hence, receivables are current assets on the balance sheet, which are listed in order of liquidity.
All receivables that are expected to be realized in cash within a year are reported in the current assets section of the balance sheet.
Fethe's Funny Hats is considering selling trademarked, orange-haired curly wigs for University of Tennessee football games. The purchase cost for a 2-year franchise to sell the wigs is $20,000. If demand is good (40% probability), then the net cash flows will be $26,000 per year for 2 years. If demand is bad (60% probability), then the net cash flows will be $3,000 per year for 2 years. Fethe's cost of capital is 13%. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Required:
a. What is the expected NPV of the project?
b. if Fethe makes the investment today, then it will have the option to renew the franchise fee for 2 more years at the end of Year 2 for an additional payment of $20,000.
Answer:
$350
Explanation:
We can calculate the expected NPV by calculating the present value of future cash flows first and then deduct these cash flows from the initial investment.
DATA
Inital Investment = $ 20,000
cost of capital = 13%
Calculation
Expected Cash flow for year 1 = $ 26,000 x 40% = 10,400
Expected Cash flow for year 2 = $3,000 * 0.6 = 1800
Expected cash flow = 12,200
Present value of future cash flows = $12,200/1.13 + $12,200/(1.13)^2
Present value of future cash flows = $10,796 + $9,554
Present value of future cash flows = $20,350
Expected NPV of the project = Present value of future cash flows - Initial Investment
Expected NPV of the project = $20,350 - $20,000 = $350
Requirement B
Present value of future cashflows = 20350
Present value of renewal in year2 = 20,000/(1.13)^2 = $15,673
Inital = $20,000
NPV = 20,350 - 20,000 - 15,673
NPV = -15,323

Mazeppa Corporation sells relays at a selling price of $28 per unit. The company's cost per unit, based on full capacity of 160,000 units, is as follows:
Direct materials $6
Direct labor 4
Overhead (2/3 of which is variable) 9
Mazeppa has been approached by a distributor in Montana offering to buy a special order consisting of 30,000 relays. Mazeppa has the capacity to fill the order. However, it will incur an additional shipping cost of $2 for each relay it sells to the distributor.
Required:
a. Assume that Mazeppa is currently operating at a level of 100,000 units. Show the calculation for the unit price to charge the distributor which will generate an increase in operating income of $2 per unit.
b. Assume that Mazeppa is currently operating at full capacity. To fill the special order, regular customers will have to be turned away. Now what unit price should it charge the distributor if it wishes to increase total operating income by $60,000 more than it would be without accepting the special order?
Answer:
a. $20.00
b. $28,75
Explanation:
Find the total incremental costs to satisfy the special order and add $2.00 profit (because we are aiming for a profit not to just break-even).
Calculation of Total Incremental Unit Costs
Direct materials $6 .00
Direct labor $4.00
Variable Overheads (2/3 × $9) $6.00
Shipping Cost $2.00
Total Incremental Unit Cost $18.00
Add Profit Element $2.00
Unit Selling Price for the Special Order $20.00
In this case no changes will occur on fixed overheads, hence it is irrelevant.
Calculation of Desired Net Operating Income
Sales ($28 × 160,000 units) $4,480,000
Less Product Costs :
Direct materials ($6 .00 × 160,000 units) ($960,000)
Direct labor ($4.00 × 160,000 units) ($640,000)
Variable Overheads ($6.00 × 160,000 units) ($960,000)
Fixed Overheads ($3.00 × 160,000 units) ($480,000)
Current Operating Income $1,440,000
Add Desired Increase in Operating Income $60,000
Desired Operating Income $1,500,000
Unit Profit = $1,500,000 ÷ 160,000 units
= $9.375
Unit Profit = Unit Selling Price - Total Unit Costs - Unit Incremental Profit
therefore,
Unit Selling Price = Unit Profit + Total Unit Costs + Unit Incremental Profit
= $9.375 + $19.00 + $0.375
= $28,75

Burke Company has a break-even of $600,000 in total sales. Assuming the company sells its product for $40 per unit, what is its margin of safety in units if sales total $1,000,000
Answer:
The margin of safety in units is 10,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the margin of safety in units is shown below:
The Margin of safety in units is
= Budgeted or actual sales - break even sales
= ($1,000,000 ÷ $40 per unit) - ($600,000 ÷ $40 per unit)
= 25,000 units - 15,000 units
= 10,000 units
Hence, the margin of safety in units is 10,000 units

The purpose of environmental forecasting is to ______. Multiple choice question. collect and interpret data on competitors follow trends in a firm's external environment monitor the external environment predict change
Answer:
predict change.
Explanation:
Environmental forecasting can be defined as a strategic process which typically involves the management predicting the future characteristics of an external environment of the organization for good decisions making.
Hence, the purpose of environmental forecasting is to predict change.
Environmental forecasting is a management strategy that focuses on systematically acquiring informations about occasions, trends, events or patterns through surveys and analysis of these information in an organisation's external and internal environment. The informations acquired through environmental scanning is then used by the executive management in strategically planning the organisation's future and exploitation of available opportunities for the success of the organization.
Generally, the environmental forecasting gives an overview of the opportunities in the market as well as potential threats to an organization.
Hence, the following are descriptive of an environmental forecasting;
1. Used as a tool for corporations to avoid strategic surprise.
2. Used to monitor, evaluate, and disseminate information relevant to the organizational development of strategy.
3. Used to determine a firm's competitive advantage.
4. Used as a tool to ensure a corporation's long-term health.
Firms face competing pressures in the marketplace-how to achieve lower costs through proven approaches to production, while looking at how to maximize their effectiveness in local markets. A firm's choice of strategy must reflect these pressures, and the firm knows that the dynamics of competition may require changes in strategy. Pressures for local responsiveness mean that a firm may not be able to realize the full benefits from economies of scale, learning effects, and location economies. Customization of products brings benefits, but it also limits the firm's ability to realize significant scale economies and location economies. Companies generally choose from four main strategic postures: a global standardization strategy, a localization strategy, a transnational strategy, or an international strategy. The appropriateness of each strategy varies given the competitive realities and the firm's core competences.
Read the case below and answer the questions that follow.
Your firm has been a leader in several lines of fast-moving consumer goods. The firm has been following a localization strategy. Your products have been distributed in a number of foreign markets and regions, and they are distinct enough in local markets to respond to national tastes and preferences. Competition, however, has become more intense, with many competitors using lower cost structures to undercut your prices and still satisfy your customers.
The firm must decide what kind of strategy it needs to follow to meet the demands of the local markets as well as the increased competitive pressures on cost.
a. leverage skills and products associated with a firm's core competencies from one country to another.
b. monitor and adapt to changing customer tastes in a large number of foreign markets.
c. compete effectively in more than one international market.
Answer:
a. leverage skills and products associated with a firm's core competencies from one country to another.
Explanation:
Company A can still meet the demands of the local markets and the competitive pressures it is facing by utilizing its core competences and deploring its products internationally. A hybrid of localization and international strategies would be more appropriate. This hybrid approach will enable the company "to realize the full benefits from economies of scale and learning effects, without losing on location economies," as desired in the case study.
Countess Corp. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $4.39 on its common stock in one year. The current stock price is $92 per share. The company announced that it will increase its dividend by 3.55% annually. What is the company's cost of equity
Answer:
8.32 %
Explanation:
With the information provided, we can calculate the company's cost of equity by using the Dividend Growth Model.
Thus,
Cost of Equity = Dividend / Stock Price + Expected Growth
Therefore,
Cost of Equity = $4.39 / $92 + 3.55%
= 8.32 %
denver company issued bonds with a face value of 100,000 and stated interest rate of 8%. the bonds have a life of five years and were sold at 102 1/2. if denver amoritizes discounts and premiums using the straight line method, the amount of interest expense each full year would be
Answer:
$7,500
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of interest expense each full year
First step is to calculate the the annual interest
Annual interest =$ 8,000
($100,000*8%)
Second step is to calculate the premium paid
Premium paid=$ 2,500
($ 100,000 * 2.5%)
Third step is to calculate the Amortization of premium
Amortization of premium=$500
( $2,500 / 5years )
Last step is to calculate the interest expenses using this formula
Interest expenses=Annual interest-Amortization of premium
Let plug in the formula
Interest expenses ($8,000 - $500 )
Interest expenses= $ 7,500
Therefore the amount of interest expenses each full year would be $7,500
The shoe buyer plans to promote flip-flop sandals at $24.99. The buyer needs to purchase10,000 flip flops for the event. 6,000 flip-flop sandals have been purchased at a cost of $11.50. The planned markup for the event is 59.0%. What will be the average cost of the remaining sandals?
Answer:
$22.04
Explanation:
Sales price per sandal = $24.99
Sales price of 10,000 sandals = $24.99*10,000 = $249,900
Markup percentage = 59%
Cost of 10,000 sandals = $249,900 / 1 + 59%
Cost of 10,000 sandals = $249,900 / 1.59
Cost of 10,000 sandals = $157169.81
Cost of 10,000 sandals = $157,169.81
Less: Cost of 6000 sandals = $69,000 ($11.5*6,000)
Cost of the remaining 4,000 $88,169.81
Average cost of the remaining sandals = $88,169.81/4,000 sandals
Average cost of the remaining sandals = $22.0424525
Average cost of the remaining sandals = $22.04
