Answer:
Price
Explanation:
The value proposition refers to the promise made to the customers about what they wil get when they buy the product. This value proposition is determined by analizing the benefits the customers get and the costs they have to be able to get the product. So, according to that, the answer is that "Value proposition in simple terms is the consideration of the value the product delivers against the price necessary to obtain and use it" because the price would be the cost the customer has to pay to purchase the product.
Listed below are five procedures followed by Eikenberry Company.
1. Several individuals operate the cash register using the same register drawer.
2 .A monthly bank reconciliation is prepared by someone who has no other cash responsibilities.
3. Joe Cockrell writes checks and also records cash payment journal entries.
4 .One individual orders inventory, while a different individual authorizes payments.
5 .Unnumbered sales invoices from credit sales are forwarded to the accounting department every four weeks for recording.
Indicate whether each procedure is an example of good internal control or of weak internal control. If it is an example of good internal control, indicate which internal control principle is being followed. If it is an example of weak internal control, indicate which internal control principle is violated.

Answer:
1. Several individuals operate the cash register using the same register drawer. Weak Internal Control. Establishment of Responsibility Internal control violated.
Having many individuals have access to the cash register can lead to theft. Establishment of Responsibility is an internal control that calls for the minimal amount of people being able to do one task. This way issues can be traced faster.
2 .A monthly bank reconciliation is prepared by someone who has no other cash responsibilities. Good Internal Control. Independent Internal Verification control followed.
Independent Verification occurs when a person who is an employee of a company but not related to a task, audits that task to find out if any irregularities are present. It ensures unbiased review.
3. Joe Cockrell writes checks and also records cash payment journal entries. Weak Internal Control. Segregation of Duties Internal control violated.
Segregation of duty calls for the division of a job process into tasks that different people are to accomplish especially in relation to cash. It can help avoid fraud because people will not be able to approve payments for themselves which is what Joe Cockrell can do in this scenario. Joe can withdraw and decide not to record it.
4 .One individual orders inventory, while a different individual authorizes payments. Good Internal Control. Segregation of Duties Internal control followed.
Segregation of duty calls for the division of a job process into tasks that different people are to accomplish especially in relation to cash. By having one individual order inventory and the other authorizing payments, fraud can be better avoided.
5 .Unnumbered sales invoices from credit sales are forwarded to the accounting department every four weeks for recording. Weak Internal Control. Documentation Procedures Internal control violated.
Documentation procedures in a company ensure that the paper trail is efficiently recorded so that transactions can be followed up speedily. By sending unnumbered sales invoices to the Accounting department as well as taking so long to do so, the company is running an inefficient documentation process that will make tracking transactions more difficult.
In terms of the global value system, when Kodak shifted manufacturing to China, what position did China then take in the system, relative to the U.S.
Answer: b. Upstream
Explanation:
The Upstream part of a company's value chain is the part closest to the suppliers and the raw materials they supply to the firm while the downstream relates to how the goods are distributed and sold after produced.
As such, the firm's manufacturing plants are closer to its Upstream value chain portion. When Kodak therefore shifted manufacturing to China, it made China more upstream than the United States as China now dealt more with Kodak suppliers and inputs than the US, who were now more downstream as the consumers.

A. Pelican has a much higher degree of financial leverage than does Timberland. As a result, Pelican's earnings will be morevolatile, causing the common stock owners to face greater risk.
B. Pelican's earnings will be more volatile. This additional risk is supported by the significantly lower times interest earned ratio of Pelican. Timberland can face a very large reduction in net income and still be able to cover its interest expense.
C. Timberland's earnings will be more volatile. This additional risk is supported by the significantly lower times interest earned ratio of Timberland. Pelican can face a very large reduction in net income and still be able to cover its interest expense.
D. Timberland has a much higher degree of financial leverage than does Pelican. As a result, Timberland's earnings will be morevolatile, causing the common stock owners to face greater risk.
Answer:
Pelican Paper, Inc., and Timberland Forest, Inc.
Financial leverage and profitability ratios:
a) Debt Ratio = Total liabilities divided by Total assets x 100
Pelican = $1,000,000/$10,900,000 x 100
= 9.2%
Timberland = $5,500,000/$10,900,000 x 100
= 50%
Times Interest Earned Ratio = EBIT/Interest Expense
Pelican = $5,750,000/$100,000
= 57.5 times
Timberland = $5,750,000/$550,000
= 10.4 times
A discussion of their financial risk and ability to cover the costs in relation to each other:
C. Timberland's earnings will be more volatile. This additional risk is supported by the significantly lower times interest earned ratio of Timberland. Pelican can face a very large reduction in net income and still be able to cover its interest expense.

Gilchrist Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the Corporation estimated the machine-hours for the upcoming year at 37,600 machine-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $4.38 per machine-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,026,856. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:
Answer:
Predetermined OH rate = $ 31.69 per machine hour
Explanation:
Predetermined Fixed OH rate = Estimated Fixed Overhead / Estimated machine hours = $1,026,856 / 37,600
Predetermined Fixed OH rate = $27.31 per machine hour
Predetermined OH rate = Predetermined Fixed OH rate + Predetermined variable OH rate = $ 27.31 + $ 4.38
Predetermined OH rate = $ 31.69 per machine hour
Cooley Company's stock has a beta of 1.40, the risk-free rate is 25%, and the market risk premium is 5.50%. What is the firm's required rate of return
Answer: 12.2%
Explanation:
Given the variables available, the required rate of return can be computed using the Capital Asset Pricing Model with the formula;
Required Return = Risk-free rate + beta ( Market risk premium)
Required return = 4.25% + 1.4 * 5.5%
Required return = 4.25% + 7.7%
Required return = 12.2%
Note; The actual question says the Risk-free rate is 4.25%.

Take It All Away has a cost of equity of 10.81 percent, a pretax cost of debt of 5.45 percent, and a tax rate of 35 percent. The company's capital structure consists of 77 percent debt on a book value basis, but debt is 37 percent of the company's value on a market value basis. What is the company's WACC
Answer:
8.12%
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted average cost of capital is shown below:
= Cost of equity × weight of equity + pretax cost of debt × (1 - tax rate) × weight of debt
= 10.81% × 0.63 + 5.45% × (1 - 0.35) × 0.37
= 6.81% + 1.31%
= 8.12%
We simply applied the above formula by considerin the capital structure with its weight so that the correct percentage could come
Indus Corporation pays $100,000 for the trademark rights to a line of soda equipment. After several years, sales for this line of soda equipment are disappointing, and the company estimates the total future cash flows from sales will be only $110,000. The estimated fair value of the trademark is now $60,000. What is the amount of the impairment loss to be recorded
Answer:
impairment loss = $40,000
Explanation:
In accounting, impairment loss refers to the decrease of an asset's carrying value. In order to calculate the impairment loss, you need to subtract the current market value of the asset from its original carrying value.
impairment loss = carrying value - current market value = $100,000 - $60,000 = $40,000
The potential benefits lost by taking a specific action when two or more alternative choices are available is known as a(n):
Answer:
Opportunity costs
Explanation:
The potential benefits lost by taking a specific action when two or more alternative choices are available is known as opportunity costs.
Opportunity cost has to do with losing other alternatives by chosing to go with one alternative. Hence it is also called foregone alternative. It has to do with making a decision or choice to give up something in order to get something else which may be of more value.
Your boss asks you to settle a negotiation between yourself and a co-worker. In order to improve your own bargaining position, you should encourage your boss to:
Answer:
give only my coworker an incentive to reach an agreement.
Explanation:
One of the ways to improving my bargaining position before negotiation as in the above scenario is that I would encourage my boss to give only my coworker an incentive to reach an agreement so as to make the whole process seamless. There are several reasons why parties engage in negotiation; one of which is to reach an agreement in order to avoid dispute or settle disagreement.
By allowing incentives to be given to my coworker alone in order to reach an agreement, it shows that I am willing to compromise hence improve my bargaining position and strengthen my negotiation skill. It means that I am willing to sacrifice my own term and it must be noted that without compromise by either of the parties in a negotiation, it can be nearly impossible to reach an agreement.
Paul Hyatt owns and operates DeepClean, a Florida-based company that cleans up mold and mildew in homes and businesses. As the sole proprietor of the business, he has unlimited liability, which means:
Answer:
Paul Hyatt is fully liable for all business debts
Explanation:
Unlimited liability in this scenario, means that Paul Hyatt is fully liable for all business debts. That is because unlimited liability is defined as the full legal responsibility that business owners and partners assume for all business debts, and since Paul Hyatt is a sole proprietor which means that he both owns and runs DeepCleans and there is no legal distinction between him and the business entity, then he is fully liable for debts and profits of DeepClean.

Compute the following variances:
a Variable-overhead spending variance
b. Variable-overhead efficiencv variance
c. Fixed-overhead budget variance
d. Fixed-overhead volume variance
Answer:
a. $26,200 Unfavorable
b. $16,800 Unfavorable
c. $ 5,000 Unfavorable
d. $48,000 Unfavorable
Explanation:
a Variable-overhead spending variance
Variable-overhead spending variance = Budgeted Variable overheads at actual hours worked - Actual variable overheads
= (33,400 × $ 12.00) - $ 427,000
= $400,800 - $ 427,000
= $26,200 Unfavorable
b. Variable-overhead efficiency variance
Variable-overhead efficiency variance = (Actual Output × Standard hour × Standard rate) - (Actual hours × Standard rate per hour)
= (8,000 × 4 × $ 12.00) - (33,400 × $ 12.00)
= $384,000 - $400,800
= $16,800 Unfavorable
c. Fixed-overhead budget variance
Fixed-overhead budget variance = Actual Fixed Overheads - Budgeted Fixed Overheads
= $ 149,000 - $ 144,000
= $ 5,000 Unfavorable
d. Fixed-overhead volume variance
Fixed-overhead volume variance = Fixed overheads at Budgeted Production - Budgeted Fixed Overheads
= ($ 144,000 / 12,000 × 8,000) - $ 144,000
= $96,000 - $144,000
= $48,000 Unfavorable
Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $70,000 or $200,000 with equal probabilities of .5. The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 6% per year. a. If you require a risk premium of 8%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?
Answer:
$118,421
Explanation:
first we must calculate the expected value of the risky portfolio = ($70,000 x 0.5) + ($200,000 x 0.5) = $135,000
since your risk premium is 8% and the risk free rate is 6%m then you should discount the expected value by 8% + 6% = 14% to determine its current market price
= $135,000 / (1 + 14%) = $118,421
On January 1, Boston Enterprises issues bonds that have a $3,400,000 par value, mature in 20 years, and pay 9% interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds are sold at par. 1. How much interest will Boston pay (in cash) to the bondholders every six months
Answer:
interest expense per coupon payment (every 6 months) = $153,000
Explanation:
In this case, since the bonds were sold at par, the interest expense and the actual cash payments are the same (no premium or discount would be amortized). To calculate the interest payment we just multiply the bonds' face value x annual interest rate x 1/2 (semiannual coupons) = $3,400,000 x 9% x 1/2 = $153,000
The marketing staff wants to supply pens with attached USB drives to clients. In the past this client has been victimized by social engineering attacks that led to a loss of sensitive data. The security administrator instructs the marketing staff not to supply the USB pens due to which of the following?
A. The cost associated with distributing a large volume of the USB pens
B. The security costs associated with securing the USB drives over time
C. The security risks associated with combining USB drives and cell phones on a network
D. The risks associated with the large capacity of USB drives and their concealable nature
Answer: C. The security risks associated with combining USB drives and cell phones on a network
D. The risks associated with the large capacity of USB drives and their concealable nature
Explanation:
Based on the scenario that has been discussed in the question, the security administrator will instructs the marketing staff not to supply the USB pens based on the security risks that are associated with combining USB drives and cell phones on a network.
Another reason is due to the risks that are associated with the large capacity of USB drives and their concealable nature.
Since the client has been victimized by social engineering attacks that led to a loss of sensitive data in the past, they'll be extra careful this time around.
Jack and Jill need to save $6100 toward a new car. How long will it take them if they save $200 a month earning interest at 4.7% per year
Answer:
2 years 5 months.
Explanation:
Use the Time Value of Money techniques to find n (period it takes to save for required amount)
Using a financial calculator enter the following data
Fv = $6,100
Pmt = - $ 200 × 12 = - $2,400
P/y = 1
r = 4.7 %
Pv = 0
n = 2.4569
Thus it takes 2 years 5 months to save $6100 toward a new car under the given circumstances.
he Clark Company fails to record these two adjusting journal entries: Depreciation on Equipment: $10 Cash Dividends declared: $40 Working capital will be:
Answer:
Working Capital will be overstated by the amount of $40.
Explanation:
Of the two the adjusting entries, we need to identify the adjusting entry that affects any element of Working Capital (Current Assets or Current Liability).
Depreciation Entries include : Debit Depreciation Expense (Expense) $10 and Credit Accumulated Depreciation $10.
Cash Dividends Declared Entries include : Debit Dividend (Equity) $40 and Credit Shareholders for Dividends (Liability) $40.
Thus, the Liabilities will be understated due to omission of Cash Dividends Declared Entries.
Subsequently, Working Capital will be overstated by the amount of $40.

At the beginning of year 1, Looby Corp. purchases equipment for $100,000. The equipment has a residual value of $20,000 and an expected useful life of 10 years. What is accumulated depreciation at the end of year 2 using straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Accumulated Depreciation at the end of year = $16,000
Explanation:
Under the straight line method of depreciation, the cost of an asset less the salvage value is spread equally over the expected useful life.
An equal amount is charged as annual depreciation over the life of the asset. The annual depreciation is calculated as follows:
Annual depreciation:
= (cost of assets - salvage value)/ Estimated useful life
Cost - 100,000
Residual value = 20,000
Estimated useful life = 10 years
Annual depreciation = (100,000- 20,000)/10 =8,000
Annual depreciation = 8,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = Annual depreciation× number of years
= 8,000× 2 = 16,000
Accumulated Depreciation for 2 years = $16,000
During the ____________step in activity-based costing, overhead costs in each activity cost pool are assigned to products.
a. first
b. second
c. third

You are trying to explain to your friends the importance of using real GDP to measure economic health over time, but some of them still insist that nominal GDP is equally good. Use the data given below to show your friends the difference between real and nominal GDP.
Nominal GDP (millions of dollars)= $10,000
Price Level (GDP Deflector)= 92
Required:
What is real GDP given the nominal GDP and price level (GDP deflator)?
Answer: $10,869.57
Explanation:
The Nominal GDP is the total amount of final goods and services produced in a country within a period, usually a year. It is calculated using the current year's prices.
Real GDP adjusts the Nominal GDP for price changes by using the price level of a certain base year.
The GDP Deflator is the price level of the current year and can be useful in calculating how much the prices have risen or fallen from the prices of the base year.
The formula is;
(Nominal GDP/Real GDP)*100 = GDP Deflator
Making Real GDP the subject;
Real GDP = (Nominal GDP/GDP Deflator)*100
= (10,000/ 92) * 100
= $10,869.57
