While on a hike with a tour group in the mountains, Derek gets mauled by a bear. No previous reports of bears in the area had been made. Derek wants to hold the tour company liable for his injury. Which of the following is most likely true?
A. Derek cannot hold the tour company liable because there is no way to prepare for or avoid a bear attack.
B. The company is not at fault because it does not owe Derek a duty of care.
C. Because most people would not expect something as dangerous as a bear encounter while on a hike, an assumption of risk defense will probably not protect the tour company.
D. Derek assumed the risk of a bear attack by joining the tour group, so he cannot hold the tour company liable.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: D. Derek assumed the risk of a bear attack by joining the tour group, so he cannot hold the tour company liable

Explanation:

Derek has to accept that by joining the tour group, he assumed some the risk of some elements of danger amongst them the bear attack.

Even though there had been no prior attack by bears in the mountain, a mountain hike still has some inherent danger in it and this includes bears. He cannot hold the tour company liable using this reason alone.

Answers

What provision in an independent contractor agreement states the associate will not hold the broker responsible for claims, demands, suits, costs or expenses based on the associates' representation of the agreement?

A) Disputes and Litigation

B) Termination of Agreement

C) Indemnification

D) Regulatory Compliance

Answer:

The correct option is C) Indemnification Clause

Explanation:

This simply means that if the associate is found liable by a third-party due to errors and omissions or any action of tort, the principal or the broker, will not be vicariously held liable.

This clause may seem unfair given that for the most part of the relationship, the associate and the broker are bound by similar interests. However, sometimes one party may become self-focused, and this results in errors which translate to lawsuits.

This clause is a way of protecting the Broker. It is also implied that the associate will also enjoy immunity from any costs and damages which the broke may be held liable to.

A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $300,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment costs $250,000, and $100,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $750,000 per year for 10 years, at which time the land can be sold for $400,000, the building for $350,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items are estimated to total $475,000. If the company requires a MARR of 15% per year on projects of comparable risk, determine if it should invest in the new product line. Use the AW method. (Sullivan, 20180327, p. 234) Sullivan, W.

Answers

Answer:

$327,909.14

Explanation:

Calculation to determine if it should invest in the new product line.

First step

The Investment cost will be:

Land costs $300,000

Building costs $600,000

Equipment costs $250,000

Additional working capital $100,000

=$1,250,000

Annual revenue $750,000

Annual expenses$475,000

Market value:

$400,000 +$350,000 + $50,000 = $80,0000

N: 10 year

MARR: 15% per year

Using PW method

-$1250000 + ($750,000 – $475,000) (P/A, 15%, 10) +$ 80000(P/F, 15%, 10)

-$1250000-$275,000((1+15)^¹⁰−1/15(1+15)^¹⁰+$3000

Hence,

=-$1,250,000 – $275,000(5.0188) + $3000(0.2472)

= $327,909.14

Trailblazer Company sells a product for $210 per unit. The variable cost is $105 per unit, and fixed costs are $588,000. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the sales units required for the company to achieve a target profit of $223,440.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Trailblazer Company sells a product for $210 per unit. The variable cost is $105 per unit, and fixed costs are $588,000.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 588,000/ (210 - 105)

Break-even point in units= 5,600 units

Desired profit= 223,440

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (588,000 + 223,440) / 105

Break-even point in units= 7,728 units

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

Answers

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

The Monster Truck operates several specialty vehicles that provide hot food and beverages for firms that have workers employed in outlying regions. The company has annual sales of $627,200. Cost of goods sold average 38 percent of sales and the profit margin is 5.1 percent. The average accounts receivable balance is $35,300. On average, how long does it take the company to collect payment for its services

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 20.55 days

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Annual sales =$627,200

Average accounts receivable =$35,300

Now

The accounts turnover ratio (receivable) = Sales/Average accounts receivable

Accounts receivable turnover ratio = $627,200/$35.300

=17.76 times

Thus

Number of days payment receives = 365/ Accounts receivable turnover ratio =365 days/17.76 times

=20.55 days

Therefore The company takes 20.55 days to get payment for its services

A zero-coupon bond is selling at a deep discount price of $450. It matures in 11 years. If the yield to maturity of the bond is 6.2%, what is the duration of the bond (rounded to two places)

Answers

Answer:

Duration is 11 years

Explanation:

The Duration of a zero coupon bond is equal to it's maturity. Since it matures at 11 years the duration of the bond is therefore also 11 years.

It is a bond that pays no interest. A zero-coupon bond is a bond where the face value is what is repaid during the time of maturity. There are no periodic interest payments, or have so-called coupons, that is why they are referred to as zero-coupon bond. Investor gets par value when it matures.

Lord Greystroke uses his limited income to purchase fruits and nuts; he is currently buying 10 pounds of fruits at a price of $2 per pound and 5 pounds of nuts at a price of $6 per pound. The last pound of fruits added 10 units to Lord Greystroke's total utility, while the last pound of nuts added 30 units. Lord Greystroke:__________.
1. is making the utility-maximizing choice.
2. should buy more fruits and less nuts because the last pound of fruits cost less than the last pound of nuts.
3. should buy more fruits and less nuts because the last dollar spent on fruits added more to total utility than the last dollar spent on nuts.
4. should buy more nuts and less fruits because the last pound of nuts added more to total utility than the last pound of fruits.
5. should buy more nuts and less fruits because the last dollar spent on nuts added more to total utility than the last dollar spent on fruits.

Answers

Answer:

1. Is the answer

Explanation:

the utility-maximizing choice between consumption goods happens where the marginal utility per dollar is the same for both goods, and the consumer has finished his or her budget. By buying 10 pounds of fruits at a price of $2 per pound and 5 pounds of nuts at a price of $6 per pound. The last pound of fruits added 10 units to Lord Greystroke's total utility, while the last pound of nuts added 30 units. Lord Greystroke is utilizing this concept

Suppose we hold a forward contract on a stock with expiration 66 months from now. We entered into this contract 66 months ago so that when we entered into the contract, the expiration was T = 1T=1 year. The stock price$ 66 months ago was S_0 = 100S 0 ​ =100, the current stock price is 125125 and the current interest rate is r = 10\%r=10% compounded semi-annually. (This is the same rate that prevailed 66 months ago.) What is the current value of our forward contract? Please submit your answer in dollars rounded to one decimal place so if your answer is 42.67842.678 then you should submit an answer of 42.742.7.

Answers

Answer:

The current value of our forward contract is $105.1

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Spot - 6 months ago=$ 100

Spot - Current=125

Interest rate= 10%

Time=12 months

Therefore, to calculate the current value of our forward contract we would have to make the following calculation:

Forward Price=Spot price*e^(rt)    

=$100*e^(0.1*0.5)

Forward Price=$105.1

The current value of our forward contract is $105.1

A corporation can earn 7.5% if it invests in municipal bonds. The corporation can also earn 8.30% (before-tax) by investing in preferred stock. Assume that the two investments have equal risk. What is the break-even corporate tax rate that makes the corporation indifferent between the two investments? Assume a 70% dividend exclusion for tax on dividends. (Do not round your intermediate answer and round your final answer to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

32.13%

Explanation:

The computation of the break-even corporate tax is shown below:

As we know that

Municipal bond return = preferred stock return before tax  × [1 - (1 - dividend exclusion) × Break even corporate tax]

7.5 = 8.30 ×  [1 - ( 1 - 0.70) × Break even corporate tax ]

7.5 ÷ 8.30 = 1 - 0.30 × Break even corporate tax

0.9036 = 1 - 0.30 × Break even corporate tax

0.30 × Break even corporate tax = 1 - 0.9036

So, Break even corporate tax is

= 0.0964 ÷ 0.30

= 32.13%

Basically we applied the above formula

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.

The average cost method of process costing differs from the FIFO method of process costing in that the average cost method: Group of answer choices Requires that ending work in process inventory be stated in terms of equivalent units of production. b. Can be used under any cost-flow assumption. c. Does not consider the degree of completion of beginning work in process inventory when computing equivalent units of production. d. Considers the ending work in process inventory only partially complete.

Answers

Answer:

c. Does not consider the degree of completion of beginning work in process inventory when computing equivalent units of production.

Explanation:

The average cost method of process costing  differs from the FIFO method of process costing in that it does not consider the degree of completion of beginning work in process inventory when computing equivalent units of production.

The average method Equivalent units of Production include goods transferred out and ending inventory  whereas FIFO method Equivalent units of Production include goods transferred out ,ending inventory and beginning inventories as well.

FIFO accounts only for the current period costs whereas average costs account for average cost on the whole.

An average cost method of process costing differs from the FIFO method of process costing because its does not consider the degree of completion of beginning work in process inventory when computing equivalent units of production.

 

The average method Equivalent units of Production include

goods transferred outending inventory

The FIFO method Equivalent units of Production include

goods transferred out ending inventorybeginning inventories as well.

Agricultural output is a large part of Econland's GDP. Particularly bad weather one year leads to an output that is smaller than normal, causing a shock to Econland's economy. Which of these correctly describes, from a Keynesian perspective, the impact of expansionary or contractionary monetary policy taken to address the situation?
A. Increase M1 to reduce inflation while having no impact on unemployment, or decrease M1 to reduce unemployment while having no impact on inflation.
B. Increase M1 to reduce both inflation and unemployment, or reduce M1 to increase both inflation and unemployment.
C. Increase M1 to reduce inflation while adding to unemployment, or decrease M1 to reduce unemployment while adding to inflation.
D. Increase M1 to reduce unemployment but adding to inflation, or decrease M1 to reduce the inflation while adding to unemployment.

Answers

Answer: D. Increase M1 to reduce unemployment but adding to inflation, or decrease M1 to reduce the inflation while adding to unemployment.

Explanation:

M1 is the money which consist of coins and physical currency, travelers checks, demand deposits, etc. M1 is the most liquid part of money supply due to the fact that it is made up of the currencies and the assets that can be changed to cash quickly.

From the question, we are told that agricultural output is a large part of Econland's GDP and that a bad weather resulted in a shock to Econland's economy. The best way to address the situation is to increase M1 to reduce unemployment but adding to inflation, or decrease M1 to reduce the inflation while adding to unemployment.

When money supply is increased, there will be more money in circulation which will bring about increase in demand and employers will employ more people due to this. It should also be noted that due to more money in circulation, there will be inflation which means rise in the prices of goods and services.

Therefore, the government has to choose between increasing M1 to reduce unemployment but adding to inflation, or decrease M1 to reduce the inflation while adding to unemployment.

Hulston Appliances Co. wants to introduce a new digital display, laser driven iron to the market. The estimated unit sales price is $44.00. The required investment is $88,000. Unit sales are expected to be 8,800 and the minimum required rate of return on all investments is 10.00%. Compute the target cost per iron.

Answers

Answer:

Target cost per unit = $43 per unit

Explanation:

Target cost is the cost at which a product must be produced and sold to achieve a desired profit margin

Target cost =(Sales revenue - (ROI × capital) )/ No of units

Target cost =( (44 × 8,800) - (10%× $88,000 ) )/ 8,800 guns

Target cost per unit = (387200 - 8800 ) / 8,800 units= $43  per unit

Target cost per unit = $43 per unit

Peanuts are an input in the production of peanut butter. If a decrease in the supply of peanuts increases the price of peanuts, what will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity in the peanut butter market?

Answers

Answer:

Equilibrium price would rise

Equilibrium quantity would fall

Explanation:

If the supply of peanuts falls, it would lead to a rise in the price of peanuts because the demand for peanuts woild exceed its supply.

The rise in price would increase the cost of production of peanut butter because peanut is an input in the production of peanut butter. This rise in cost would discourage suppliers and supply of peanut butter would fall. As a result equilibrium quantity would fall. As a result of a fall in supply of peanut butter, demand would exceed supply and equilibrium price would rise.

Fortune, Inc., is preparing its master budget for the first quarter. The company sells a single product at a price of $25 per unit. Sales (in units) are forecasted at 39,000 for January, 59,000 for February, and 49,000 for March. Cost of goods sold is $12 per unit. Other expense information for the first quarter follows. Commissions 11 % of sales dollars Rent $ 20,000 per month Advertising 12 % of sales dollars Office salaries $ 74,000 per month Depreciation $ 49,000 per month Interest 11 % annually on a $270,000 note payable Tax rate 40 % Prepare a budgeted income statement for this first quarter. (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

Answers

Answer:

Budgeted Income Statement For Quarter Ended March 31

Sales $3,675,000

Cost of goods sold $1,764,000

Gross profit $1,911,000

Operating expenses

Commissions expense $404,250  

Rent expense $60,000

Advertising expense $441,000

Office salaries expense $222,000

Depreciation expense $147,000

Interest expense $ 7,425

Total operating expenses $1,281,675

Income before taxes $629,325

Income tax expense $251,730

Net income $ 377,595

Explanation:

Commissions 11 % of sales dollars

Rent $ 20,000 per month

Advertising 12 % of sales dollars

Office salaries $ 74,000 per month

Depreciation $ 49,000 per month

Interest 11 % annually on a $270,000 note payable

Tax rate 40%

Sales = Number of units for first quarter   × price per unit

= (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $25

= $3,675,000

Cost of goods = (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $12

= $1,764,000

Commissions expense = 11 % of sales = 11% × $3,675,000 = $404,250

Advertising expense = 12 % of sales = 12% × $3,675,000 = $441,000

Interest expense = 11 % annually on a $270,000

= 11% × 270,000 × 3/12

= $ 7,425

Income = Gross profit - total operating expenses

= $1,911,000  - $1,281,675

= $629,325

Income tax expenses = 40% × $629,325 = $251,730
