Answer:
used to identify major stockholders
Explanation:
Environmental scanning 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.
The internal environmental scanning offers an organization strength and weakness while the external environmental scanning provides information about opportunities and threats.
Generally, the external environmental scanning gives an overview of the opportunities in the market as well as potential threats to an organization.
Hence, the following are descriptive of an external environmental scanning;
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.
Determine the total equivalent units for direct materials, assuming that the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. Assume that all direct materials are placed in the process at the beginning of production.
Answer:
37,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the total equivalent units for direct material is shown below:
= Transferred to finished goods during the month of July + Ending work in process during the month of July - Inventory in process, July 1
= 37,500 units + 3,500 units - 4,000 units
= 41,000 units - 4,000 units
= 37,000 units
We simply applied the above formula so that the total equivalent units for direct materials could come
Typically, the firms' lowest cost source of financing is ____________ as its cost is tax deductible and it also tends to offer the least amount of risk for investors. Group of answer choices Debt Preferred Equity Derivatives Common Equity Equity
Answer:
Debt
Explanation:
Debt is the lowest cost source of financing because the interest return given to holders of debt has a tax shield (tax deductible) that is provided by the Section 11j of the Income tax Act.
The other sources of finance give a return in form of dividends. Dividends are are not tax deductible hence they attract a huge cost.
Suppose a consumer has the following utility function defined over the 2 goods X and Y: a. If this consumer originally consumed 10 units of X and 24 units of Y, and if the consumption of X were increased to 12 units, how much Y would be would the consumer be willing to give up and maintain the initial level of satisfaction
Answer:
Y = 22 units (Approx)
Explanation:
Note:
The utility function is not given, the utility function is as follows.
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
So,
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
When X = 10 and Y = 24 units
U(10 ,24) = 2(10) + [tex]16(24)^{1/2}[/tex]
U(10 ,24) = 98.4
U(10 ,24) = 99 Units (Approx)
So,
U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
When X = 12 Find Y
99 units = 2(12) + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
75 = [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]
Y = 21.97
Y = 22 units (Approx)

onceptual Connection: For each situation, identify the possible root cause(s) of the activity cost (such as plant layout, process design, and product design). a. A manual insertion process takes 30 minutes and 8 pounds of material to produce a product. Automating the insertion process requires 15 minutes of machine time and 7.5 pounds of material. The cost per labor hour is $12, the cost per machine hour is $8, and the cost per pound of materials is $10. b. With its original design, a gear requires 8 hours of setup time. By redesigning the gear so that the number of different grooves needed is reduced by 50%, the setup time is reduced by 75%. The cost per setup hour is $50. c. A product currently requires 6 moves. By redesigning the manufacturing layout, the number of moves can be reduced from 6 to 0. The cost per move is
Answer:
Explanation:
For each situation, identify the possible root cause or causes of activity cost, among these:
1. Plant Layout
2. Process design
3. Product design
(A) PROCESS DESIGN
The design of the process of production is the root cause of activity cost here. From the rates given, it's clear that the manual method of production costs more time and money than the mechanical production method.
A minor cause of activity cost here is the PRODUCT DESIGN; the cost of which varies with the use of labour and the use of machine.
(B) PRODUCT DESIGN
Change in design of the gear (removal of some component parts) reduces set up time and cost.
(C) PLANT LAYOUT
Redesign of manufacturing plant saves the time and cost of moves.
Which of the following is a community lifeline
Answer:
Safety and security
food, water, and shelter
health and medical
power and fuel
communications and transport
Explanation:
A lifeline allows business and government structures to continue to operate and is beneficial to human health and financial stability. Lifelines are perhaps the most important resources in the community that allow all other facets of society to work when balanced. The interconnected network of resources, services, and securities ( food, water, and shelter, medical care, communications facilities, etc) that provide lifeline services is used on a daily basis to facilitate the community's regularly occurring needs and give all other elements of society to perform efficiently.
Communications are the Community's lifeline. Safety and security, health and medical care, communications, hazardous materials, food, water, shelter, energy (power & fuel), and transportation are the seven community lifelines that FEMA has defined. Thus, option C is correct.
The Community Lifelines idea from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is a framework for event management that gives emergency managers a reporting system to swiftly stabilize a community after a disaster.
Safety and security, health and medical care, communications, hazardous materials, food, water, shelter, energy (power & fuel), and transportation are the seven community lifelines that FEMA has defined. It is a sign that lives are in danger, and daily routines and food chains are disturbed, if any of these Lifelines go down due to a disaster or emergency.

Answer:
Assets turnover ratio= 1.64 times
Explanation:
The asset turnover is the he amount of sales generated by one dollar invested in asset. it measures how efficient the business is in generating sales using assets
Assets turnover ratio = net sales / Average assets
Asset at the beginning of year 2016
=26,000 + 56,000 + 79,000 + 8,000 + 180,000 = 349 ,000
Asset at the end of year 2016
$28,000 + 58,000 + 76,000 + 14,000 + 11,000= 187 ,000
Average assets = Opening value of asset+ closing value of assets/2
= 349 ,000 + 187 ,000= 268 ,000
Assets turnover ratio = net sales / Average assets
=440000/268,000= 1.64 times
Assets turnover ratio= 1.64 times

Last year, Rotterdam, Inc. had sales revenue of $980,000. Costs other than depreciation and interest expense were 20 percent of sales. Depreciation expense was $50,000, interest expense was $95,000, and dividends paid were $23,000. The company also received dividends of $8,000 from a company in which it had 30% ownership stake. Which of the following statements is most CORRECT?a. The firm's taxable income was $637,400. b. The firm's after-tax income was $405,564. c. The firm's marginal tax rate was 39 percent. d. The firm's tax for the year was $113,900. e. None of the above
Answer:
e. None of the above
Explanation:
total revenue $980,000
- operating costs $196,000
- depreciation $50,000
- interests $95,000
income $639,000
+ dividends from outside corporation = $8,000 x (1 - 80% DRD) = $1,600
total taxable income = $639,000 + $1,600 = $640,600
current corporate tax is 21%, so the company's marginal tax rate would be 21%
income taxes for the year = $640,600 x 21% = $134,526
the company's after tax income = $640,600 - $134,526 = $506,074
Nathan’s Athletic Apparel has 2,000 shares of 5%, $100 par value preferred stock the company issued at the beginning of 2017. All remaining shares are common stock. The company was not able to pay dividends in 2017, but plans to pay dividends of $22,000 in 2018.Required: 1. & 2. Assuming the preferred stock is cumulative and noncumulative, how much of the $22,000 dividend will be paid to preferred stockholders and how much will be paid to common stockholders in 2018? Cumlative Non Cumlativepreferred Dividends for 2018 preferred Dividends in arrears for 2017 Remaining Dividends to common stockholders Total Dividens:
Answer:
1.
Preferred stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $20000
Common stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $2000
2.
Preferred stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $10000
Common stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $12000
Explanation:
The preferred stock dividends are always paid before the common stock dividends.
Cumulative preferred stock is the stock which accumulates or accrues dividends if the dividends are partially paid or not paid at all in a particular year. These dividends are accrued and are required to be paid by the company whenever it declares dividends.
Non cumulative preferred stock does not accrue or accumulates dividends. Thus, if dividends are not paid in a particular year, the company has no obligation to pay these dividends ever in the future.
1.
If the preferred stock is assumed to be cumulative, then the dividends in arrears for 2017 will be paid in 2018 along with dividends for 2018 on preferred stock before paying the common stock holders.
Preferred stock dividend per year = 2000 * 100 * 0.05
Preferred stock dividend per year = $10000
Preferred stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = 10000 + 10000 = $20000
Common stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = 22000 - 20000 = $2000
2.
If the preferred stock is assumed to be non cumulative, then the dividends in arrears for 2017 will not be paid in 2018. Only the dividends for 2018 on preferred stock will be paid before paying the common stock holders.
Preferred stock dividend per year = 2000 * 100 * 0.05
Preferred stock dividend per year = $10000
Preferred stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = $10000
Common stock dividends to be paid in 2018 = 22000 - 10000 = $12000
The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $636,800 in a fixed asset with a useful life of 4 years, straight-line depreciation, no residual value, and an expected total net income of $191,560 for the 4 years is (round to two decimal points)
Answer: 15.96
Explanation:
The expected rate of return will be the Average income divided by the average cost.
It is stated that the asset has a useful life of 4 years with no residual value so at the end of 4 years it will be worth $0.
The Average Cost/ Value of the Asset is calculated as;
= (Beginning Asset value - Ending Asset Value) / 2
= (600,000 - 0) /2
= 300,000
Total Income of $191,560 for the 4 years so Average income will be,
= 191,560/4
= $47,890
Expected Average Rate of Return = 47,890/300,000
= 15.96%
If a Starbucks tall latte cost $3.20 in the United States and 3 euros in the Euro area, then purchasing-power parity implies the nominal exchange rate is how many euros per dollar?
a. .938 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs more dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.
b. .938 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs fewer dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. then in the Euro area.
c. 1.067 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs more dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.
d. 1.067 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs fewer dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.
Answer:
a. .938 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs more dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.
Explanation:
We can see in the example that the Euro is cheaper than the dollar in purchasing-power parity. More specifically, the exchange rate is .938 euros per dollar.
This is why it is more expensive to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in Europe. The Euro is cheaper.
The receiving department has three activities: unloading, counting goods, and inspecting. Unloading uses a forklift that is leased for $15,000 per year. The forklift is used only for unloading. The fuel for the forklift is $3,600 per year. Other operating costs (maintenance) for the forklift total $1,500 per year. Inspection uses some special testing equipment that has depreciation of $1,200 per year and an operating cost of $750. Receiving has three employees who have an average salary of $50,000 per year. The work distribution matrix for the receiving personnel is as follows:
Activity Percentage of Time on Each Activity
Unloading 40%
Counting 25
Inspecting 35
No other resources are used for these activities.
Required:
Calculate the cost of each activity.
Unloading $
Counting $
Inspecting $
Answer:
Calculating the cost of each activity,
Unloading = $ 80,100
Counting = $ 37,500
Inspecting = $54,450
Explanation:
Given:
Unloading lease = $15,000 per year
Fuel for the forklift = $3,600 per year
Maintenance for the forklift = $1,500 per year
Inspection uses some special testing equipment that has depreciation of $1,200 per year
Operating cost = $750.
Receiving employees average salary = $50,000 per year
Salaries; 3 × 50,000 = 150,000
Unloading salary = 40% × 150,000 = 60,000
Counting salary = 25% × 150,000 = 37,500
Inspecting salary = 35% × 150,000 = 52,500
Unloading Counting Inspection
Equipment 15,000 1,200
Fuel 3,600
Operation cost 1,500 750
Labor 60,000 37,500 52,500
Total cost 80,100 37,500 54,450
A package delivery service uses vans and employees to deliver the maximum number of packages given a fixed budget. The last van added 600 packages to total output, while the last employee added 500 packages. If vans cost exist400 per week and employees earn exist300 per firm:________.
a. could deliver more packages with the same budget by using more employees and fewer Vans
b. could deliver more packages the same budget by using more vans and fewer with employees
c. use more vans and fewer employees because the last dollars spent on vans added more to total output than the last dollar spent on employees
d. is delivering the maximum number of packages given the fixed budget
e. both b and c
Answer: e. both b and c
Explanation:
Van delivered 600 per week and cost $400.
The cost per package for the Van is;
= 600/400
= $1.5 per package
Employees delivered 500 and cost $300 which means the cost per package is;
= 500/300
= $1.67 per package.
The results show that it costs more to deliver with Employees ($1.67) than with the Vans ($1.5). Using more Vans will therefore allow for more packages to be delivered using a fixed budget as the last dollar spent on Vans gave more output than the last dollar spent on Employees.

In terms of the impact on Linea's agreement with HLI, Newt's mis-diagnosis is:_______.
a. obtain damages from HLI.
b. recover nothing.
c. set aside the settlement withHLI.
Answer: set aside the settlement withHLI.
Explanation:
From the question, Linea, who is an employee of Hard Labor Industries (HLI), is injured in a work-related accident and based on the diagnosis of Newt, who is a doctor, Linea accepts $50,000 from HLI and waives the right to future claims.
We are also informed that Newt's diagnosis later proves to have been wrong. In terms of the impact on Linea's agreement with HLI, Newt's mis-diagnosis is to set aside the settlement with HLI.
This will be necessary to make them understand that it was a mistake and make a settlement with Hard Labor Industries so that Linea won't be affected as they make think she has it planned in order to collect money from them so the hospital should make a settlement.
ProBuilder reports merchandise sales of $80,000 and cost of merchandise sales of $20,000 in its first year of operations ending June 30, 2016. It makes fiscal-year-end adjusting entries for estimated future returns and allowances equal to 3% of sales, or $2,400, and 3% of cost of sales, or $600.Required:a. Prepare the June 30, 2016, fiscal-year-end adjusting journal entry for future returns and allowances related to sales. b. Prepare the June 30, 2016, fiscal-year-end adjusting journal entry for future returns and allowances related to cost of sales.
Answer and Explanation:
The adjusting entries are as follows:
1. Sales returns and allowances $2,400
To Sales refund payable $2,400
(Being the returns and allowance is recorded)
For recording this we debited the sales returns as it increased the sales return and credited the sales refund payable as it increased the liabilities
2. Inventory returns estimated $600
To Cost of goods sold $600
(Being the cost of sales is recorded)
For recording this we debited the inventory returns as it increased the returns inventory and credited the cost of goods sold as it decrease the expenses
Assume the following cost of goods sold data for a company: 2018$1417000 20171204000 20161018000 If 2016 is the base year, what is the percentage increase in cost of goods sold from 2016 to 2018
Answer:
39.19%
Explanation:
2018 $1,417,000
2017 $1,204,000
2016 $1,018,000
if 2016 was the base year, then the % from 2016 to 2018 = ($1,417,000 - $1,018,000) / $1,018,100 = 39.19%
we can also calculate the % increase from 2016 - 2017 and from 2017 - 2018 in a similar manner:
2016 to 2017 increase = ($1,204,000 - $1,018,000) / $1,018,100 = 18.27%
2017 to 2018 increase = ($1,417,000 - $1,204,000) / $1,204,100 = 17.69%
In Ricci v. DeStefano, Ricci, a white firefighter, took and passed the City of New Haven firefighter's test, required of all applicants for promotion in the city's fire department. The test was thrown out when it was discovered that minorities scored poorly and the city feared a disparate impact-based lawsuit. How did the court rule?
A) An employer may not simply disregard a test based on unwanted results unless the test is shown to be biased or deficient.
B) Even though the test was prepared by a professional testing organization, the city has the right to reject the test results if minorities do not score adequately
C) Deliberately oversampling minorities to seek to create a fair test is irrelevant if the test results show that minorities still scored poorly
D) Ricci, as a member of the white majority, had no grounds to sue when the city was seeking the legitimate aim of nondiscrimination
Answer:
The correct answer is A. In Ricci v. DeStefano, the Supreme Court ruled that an employer may not simply disregard a test based on unwanted results unless the test is shown to be biased or deficient.
Explanation:
Ricci v. DeStefano is a Supreme Court ruling of 2009, after a lawsuit by nineteen firefighters who claimed to have been discriminated against in terms of career development. They denounced that they had been discriminated after having passed the admission tests and still had not been promoted, since no African-American candidate had passed the tests. They also denounced that they had not been promoted because the Fire Department did not want to promote a group of new recruits without including within it any member of racial minorities.
Finally, the Supreme Court established that said procedure violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, since in the case equal access to employment was not guaranteed (in this case, favoring minorities over white firefighters), for set different demands for purely racial reasons.

Sales are 15% cash and 85% on credit. All credit sales are collected in the month following the sale. The June 30 balance sheet includes balances of $15,000 in cash: $44,000 in accounts receivable; $3,500 in accounts payable; and a $4,000 balance in loans payable. A minimum cash balance of $15,000 is required. Loans are obtained at the end of any month when a cash shortage occurs. Interest is 1% per month based on the beginning-of-the-month loan balance and is paid at each month-end. If an excess balance of cash exists, loans are repaid at the end of the month. Operating expenses are paid in the month incurred and consist of sales commissions (10% of sales), office salaries ($3,000 per month), and rent ($5,500 per month).

Megginson, Inc. issued a five-year corporate bond of $300,000 with a 5% interest rate for $290,000. What effect would the bond issuance have on Megginson, Inc.'s accounting equation
Answer:
Megginson, Inc.
Effect of the Bond Issuance on Megginson, Inc.'s accounting equation:
(The account equation states that Assets = Liabilities + Equity.)
With the bond issuance, the Assets (Cash) will increase by $290,000 and the Liabilities (Bonds Payable) will increase by $300,000, and there will be a loss (Equity - Retained Earnings) of $10,000 in the form of Discount on Bonds. This discount on bonds is usually amortized over the bonds' life, thus increasing the interest payable.
Explanation:
The issuance of bonds is one of the means of obtaining finance for business operations. It is a long-term borrowing, which entities use to finance the activities when funds cannot be sourced from other sources or when it is considered cheaper to borrow from outside sources.
Suppose the demand for macaroni is inelastic, the supply of macaroni is elastic, the demand for cigarettes is inelastic, and the supply of cigarettes is elastic. If a tax were levied on the sellers of both of these commodities, we would expect that the burden of
Answer:
both taxes would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers
Explanation:
Here are the options:
a. both taxes would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers. b. the macaroni tax would fall more heavily on the sellers than on the buyers, and the burden of the cigarette tax would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers c. the macaroni tax would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers, and the burden of the cigarette tax would fall more heavily on the sellers than on the buyers O d. both taxes would fall more heavily on the sellers than on the buyers.
Tax is a compulsory sum levied on goods and services. Taxes increases the price of goods and services
Supply is elastic if a small change in price leads to a greater change in the quantity supplied.
Demand is inelastic if there's little or no change in demand when price is increased.
More burden of tax should fall on the consumers because their demand is inelastic. So, if prices rise as a result of the tax, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded.
But in the case of suppliers, they are sensitive to price and a rise in price would cause quantity supplied to fall and revenue would fall.

Nielson Motors is considering an opportunity that requires an investment of $1,000,000 today and will provide $250,000 one year from now, $450,000 two years from now, and $650,000 three years from now. If the appropriate interest rate is 15%, then Nielson Motors should
Answer:
The NPV is - $14958.49 . The opportunity should not be pursued as the NPV of the project discounted at the interest rate of 15% comes out to be negative . Thus, Nielson Motors should not proceed with the project.
Explanation:
To determine whether the project should be accepted or not, we need to calculate the NPV or Net Present Value of the project. If the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.
The formula to calculate the NPV is attached.
NPV = - 1000000 + 250000 / (1 + 0.15) + 450000 / (1 + 0.15)² +
650000 / (1 + 0.15)³
NPV = - $14958.49429
The opportunity should not be pursued as the NPV of the project discounted at the interest rate of 15% comes out to be negative. Thus, Nielson Motors should not proceed with the project.
Why are adjustments made to the accounting records at the end of the period? (You may select more than one answer. Single click the box with the question mark to produce a check mark for a correct answer and double click the box with the question mark to empty the box for a wrong answer. Any boxes left with a question mark will be automatically graded as incorrect.)
Answer: a. To ensure assets and liabilities are reported at appropriate amounts.
b. To ensure the related revenues and expenses are reported in the proper period.
Explanation:
Adjustments must be made at the end of the period to make sure that the figures in the books are the proper and true reflection of the transactions that took place. That way records are neither overstated or understated thereby giving the users of the Accounting records a proper and accurate opportunity to assess the company's financial standing.
Records must also be adjusted to abide by the Accrual basis in accounting which posits that revenues and expenses should be recorded only in the periods when they occured regardless of if money has been received or paid for them. This way it is easier to match Expenses as well as Revenue to their respective periods.
Hubert: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic. Kate: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic. Manuel: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time. Poornima: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic. Shen: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic. Who could possibly be right
The complete part of the question.
The price of coffee fell sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations
Answer:
Kate, Manuel and Poornima
Explanation:
Given that, the price of coffee fell but the quantity sold remained the same.
1. Hubert: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic.
If an elastic demand shifts the demand curve will move to the left. This would cause both prices as well as quantity to decline. So HUBERT's statement is not correct.
2. Kate: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic.
This can be true, because of the inelastic supply curve. If the supply curve is an inelastic vertical line then a fall in demand will not affect quantity while the price will fall. So, KATE's statement can be right.
3. Manuel: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time.
If there is a decrease in the demand curve, it will shift to the left. Now, if there is an increase in the supply by the same amount the price will fall but quantity will remain the same. So, MANUEL's statement is right.
4. Poornima: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic.
Here, the rightward shift in the supply curve will cause the price to fall but quantity will remain the same. So, POORNIMA's statement is right.
5. Shen: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic.
if the demand curve is unitary elastic, an increase in supply will cause the price to fall and quantity to increase. So, SHEN's statement is not correct.
