Answer:
the annual rate of return is 15.24%
Explanation:
The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:
Given that
NPER = 5
PV = -$15,000
PMT = $4,500
FV = $0
The formula is shown below:
= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)
AFter applying the above formula, the annual rate of return is 15.24%
Imagine that you are the newly appointed HR manager for a 500-employee health care provider organization. Using features of the various HR service models described in the chapter and any other information you might need, develop an ideal human resources organization. Identify the HR models from which you are borrowing and explain why this particular orientation or perspective is needed in your ideal organization. Next, describe how the philosophy or outlook of the chief executive officer (CEO) might cause you to modify your model.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
As the newly appointed HR manager of a 500-employee health care provider organization, I will focus on employee development and training because skilled and trained employees will demonstrate high efficiency in the health organization and less error in medical reports, which could lead to patient dissatisfaction if their problem is not resolved due to medical report errors or lacunae.
So, I'd go with the Counseling model, in which our health-care service providers provide employee training and development through techniques like job training, internships, role plays, and learning classes, all of which are essential in health-care organizations because we provide health-care solutions to our patients and want to hire and retain highly skilled and professional personnel in our organizations.
Since qualified and skilled workers are capable of operating at a high level of productivity, have the ability to evaluate challenges and produce solutions, support both technical and non-technical activities in the organization, are experts in their fields, and so on, this model is required to transform my company into an ideal organization.
Since I would look out for what is best for employees and their growth as an HR manager, but the CEO is more concerned with cost and profit, and training and development for 500 employees could be a little more costly, the CEO will want me to adapt my model based on cost and budget.
Pearl Corporation reported net income of $49,100 in 2020. Depreciation expense was $17,200. The following working capital accounts changed.
Accounts receivable $11,200 increase
Available-for-sale debt securities 16,900 increase
Inventory 7,300 increase
Nontrade note payable 14,400 decrease
Accounts payable 13,300 increase
Required:
Compute net cash provided by operating activities. (Show amounts that decrease cash flow with either a - sign e.g. -15,000 or in parenthesis e.g. (15,000).)
Answer:
Net operating cash flow $68,300
Explanation:
Operating cash flow is the amount of cash generated by a company from its main and normal business activity. This cash flow is useful to gauge the financial viability of a firm's business activity; the larger the better.
It is essentially computed as the net movement of cash inflow and outflow in respect of a business activities.
It is computed as follows:
$
Net income 49,000
Add deprecation 17,200
Less increase in receivable (11.200)
add increase in payables 13,300
Net operating cash flow 68,300
Note that only items that relate to trading which is the core business area of the Pearl Corporation are considered. Depreciation is added because it is a non-cash item initially deducted from net income.
An increase in receivable means a reduction in cash while an increase in payables implies cash savings
Net operating cash flow $68,300
On January 1, 2021, Carla Vista Corporation signed a 5-year noncancelable lease for equipment. The terms of the lease called for Carla Vista to make annual payments of $195000 at the beginning of each year for 5 years beginning on January 1, 2021 with the title passing to Carla Vista at the end of this period. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years and no salvage value. Carla Vista uses the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its fixed assets. Carla Vista accordingly accounts for this lease transaction as a finance lease. The lease payments were determined to have a present value of $813124 at an effective interest rate of 10%.
In 2022, Carla Vista should record interest expense of:________
a. $67994.
b. $48494.
c. $61812.
d. $42312.
Answer:
In 2022, Carla Vista should record interest expense of:________
c. $61,812.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
The Present Value (PV) of a 5-year noncancelable lease of equipment = $813,124
Annual lease payments = $195,000
Effective interest rate = 10%
Estimated lease term = 5 years
Estimated useful life of equipment = 7 years
Salvage value of equipment = $0
Method of Depreciation = Straight-line method
Lease period percentage = 71% (5/7)
Interest expense:
December 31, 2021 = $81,312 ($813,124 * 10%)
December 31, 2022 - $61,812 ($813,124 - $195,000 * 10%)

Ted owns a small florist shop. Since his business is booming, his realizes he will soon need one more delivery van. He decides he will purchase a full size van versus a minivan, which he currently owns. The van he is looking to buy in 3 years will cost him $25,000. How much should he invest each quarter into an account that pays 3% per year compounded quarterly, so that he can have the desired funds in 3 years
Answer:
$1998.79
Explanation:
Quarterly payment = future value /annuity factor
Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^mn] - 1} / r
r = interest rate = interest rate / number of compounding 3%/4
N = number of years
m = number of compounding
Annuity factor =[ (1.0075)^12 - 1] / 0.0075 = 12.507586
Quarterly payment = $25,000 / 12.507586 = $1998.79
TryFit Co. uses process costing to account for the production of energy food bars. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory consisted of $13,000 in materials and $10,000 in conversion costs. April costs were $42,000 for materials and $46,000 for conversion costs. During April 14,000 units were completed. Ending work in process inventory was 10,000 units (100% complete for materials, 50% for conversion). The value of ending inventory using the weighted average method would be closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to four decimal places.) Multiple Choice $30,487.40 $37,654.00 $79,520.80 $46,454.00
Answer:
$37,654.00
Explanation:
beginning WIP = $13,000 + $10,000 = $23,000
costs added during the month = $42,000 + $46,000 = $88,000
total materials costs = $55,000
materials cost per EUP = $55,000 / 24,000 units = $2.29
total conversion costs = $56,000
conversion cost per EUP = $56,000 / 19,000 = $2.95
ending inventory = (10,000 x $2.29) + (10,000 x $2.95 x 50%) = $37,650
Beyond grades, what else would make a student stand out to an admissions counselor?
Answer:
Extracurricular Activity
Colleges prefer students who are active in academics as well as off it. This shows diversity in the student and is a trait that the counselors would be looking for.
Extracurricular activities like after-school jobs, sports and even volunteering at NGOs weigh heavily in the assessment of a student's ability to fit in a college and if you had great grade whilst doing these activities, you will have a better chance at being admitted.
After reading the article, select the statements that are correct. Choose one or more: A. Elizabeth Warren has proposed using a new inflation measure that outpaces the current one used. B. The former program trustee argues that the current inflation measure overcompensates seniors since it ignores the substitution effect. C. According to advocates for seniors, the 2020 COLA is not enough to compensate for rising healthcare costs. D. Next year, the average monthly Social Security payment will be almost $1,800. E. The cost-of-living adjustment for 2020 is more than what it was in 2019.
Answer:
A). Elizabeth Warren has proposed using a new inflation measure that outpaces the current one used.
B). The former program trustee argues that the current inflation measure overcompensates seniors since it ignores the substitution effect.
C). According to advocates for seniors, the 2020 COLA is not enough to compensate for rising healthcare costs.
Explanation:
In the context of the article titled 'Social Security checks to rise modestly amid a push to expand benefits,' the first three statements assert the appropriate claims. It correctly states the new course of action for dealing with inflation as proposed by Elizabeth Warren after Blahous and seniors' complaint about the problems associated with the present rate for adjusting inflation as it ignored the impact created by substitution. Since the present program(COLA) could not fulfill the compensation needs of the seniors, the new program has been proposed to overcome these flaws and compensate them appropriately.
A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 7 workers, who together produced an average of 70 carts per hour. Workers receive $15 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $10 per hour while output increased by 4 carts per hour.a. Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure of labor productivity. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Before _____ carts per worker per hourAfter ______carts per worker per hourb. Compute the multifactor productivity under each system. Use carts per dollar cost (labor plus equipment) as the measure. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)Before ______ carts/dollar costAfter _______ carts/dollar costc. Comment on the changes in productivity according to the two measures. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" signs in your response.)Labor productivity by _____%Multifactor productivity by _____ %
Answer:
Before buying the new equipment:
Number of workers = 7
Production = 70 carts per hour
Worker wage = $15 per hour
Machine cost = $40 per hour
After buying the new equipment:
Number of workers = 6
Production = 74 carts per hour
Worker wage = $15 per hour
Machine cost = $50 per hour
(a) Labor productivity
Labor productivity = Number of carts produced per hour / Number of workers
Labor productivity (Before) = 70 / 7
Labor productivity (Before) = 10 carts per worker per hour
Labor productivity (After) = 74 / 6
Labor productivity (After) = 12.33 carts per worker per hour
(b) Multifactor productivity
Multifactor productivity = Carts produced / (Labor cost + Equipment cost)
Multifactor productivity = Carts produced / [(Number of workers x Worker wage) + Equipment cost)
Multifactor productivity (Before) = 70 / [(7*$15) + $40]
Multifactor productivity (Before) = 0.48 carts/dollar cost
Multifactor productivity (After) = 74 / [(6*$15) + $50]
Multifactor productivity (After) = 0.53 carts/dollar cost
(c) Increase in productivity
Increase in productivity = [(New productivity - Old productivity) / Old productivity] * 100
Increase in labor productivity = [(12.33 - 10) / 10] * 100
Increase in labor productivity = 0.233 * 100
Increase in labor productivity = 23.30%
Increase in multifactor productivity = [(0.53 - 0.48) / 0.48] * 100
Increase in multifactor productivity = 0.104167 * 100
Increase in multifactor productivity = 10.42%

Theory Enterprises uses a standard cost system and prepared the following budget for May when 24,000 machine hours of activity were anticipated: variable overhead, $48,000; fixed overhead: $240,000. Actual data for May were: Standard machine hours allowed for output attained: 25,000 Actual machine hours worked: 24,000 Variable overhead incurred: $50,000 Fixed overhead incurred: $250,000 The variable-overhead spending and efficiency variances for Theory are: Variable-Overhead Spending Variance Variable-Overhead Efficiency Variance A. $ 0 $ 0 B. $ 0 $ 2,000 unfavorable C. $ 2,000 unfavorable $ 0 D. $ 2,000 favorable $ 2,000 unfavorable E. $ 2,000 unfavorable $ 2,000 favorable
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. Variable overhead spending variance
= AH × ( AR - SR)
Where
AH = Actual Hours worked = 24,000
AR = Actual variable overhead rate = $50,000
SR = Standard variable overhead rate = $48,000
Therefore,
Variable overhead spending variance
= 24,000 × ($50,000 - $48,000)
= $48,000

Because testing of nuclear bombs was halted internationally in 1992, the Department of Energy has developed a laser system that allows engineers to simulate (in a laboratory) conditions in a thermo-nuclear reaction. Due to soaring cost overruns, a congressional committee undertook an investigation and discovered that the estimated development cost of the project increased at an average rate of 2% per six-months over a 5-year period. If the original cost was estimated to be $3.1 billion 5 years ago, what is the expected cost today?
Answer:
The estimated development cost of the project will increase from the original cost of $3.1 billion 5 years ago to $3.7727 billion today.
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Original estimated development cost = $3.1 billion
Average rate of interest = 2% per six months or 4% per year (2 * 2%)
Period of project = 5 years using 4% or 10 using 2%
Using a future value factor of 1.217 from a future value table at 4% per year for 5 years:
The expected cost today = $3.1 billion * 1.217 = $3.7727 billion
Using an online financial calculator:

If a local-level fair housing group wins a fair housing lawsuit against a landlord, who gets the money from the resulting judgment? When landlords are fined, the money goes to the Texas state treasury. All judgment awards, minus attorney fees, go to the individuals who actually suffered the discrimination. The money goes to the fair housing group that brought the lawsuit. The money goes into a fund established to help victims of discrimination statewide.
Answer: The money goes to the fair housing group that brought the lawsuit.
Explanation:
The fair housing group that brought the suit is the one that incurred the costs of litigation. They will therefore be rightly expected, to be the ones to enjoy the benefits of litigation as the money won in the suit would go to them.
They would in most cases however, spend some of this money on victims of discrimination at their own discretion. The region affected by the lawsuit would still gain fairer laws even if they did not gain money like the group did.
Flagstaff Company has budgeted production units of 7,900 for July and 8,100 for August. The direct materials requirement per unit is 2 ounces (oz.). The company requires to have safety stock of direct materials on hand at the end of each month to complete 20% of the units of budgeted production in the following month. There was 3,160 ounces of direct material in inventory at the start of July. The total ounces of direct materials to be purchased in July is:
a. 15,720 oz.
b. 15,880 oz.
c. 16,200 oz.
d. 15,800 oz.
e. 19,040 oz.
Answer:
Purchases= 15,880 ounces
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production:
July= 7,900
August= 8,100
The direct materials required per unit are 2 ounces (oz.).
Desired ending inventory= 20% of the units of budgeted production in the following month.
Beginning inventory= 3,160 ounces
To calculate the direct material purchase, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 7,900*2 + (8,100*2)*0.2 - 3,160
Purchases= 15,880 ounces
Mogul Company ships merchandise to Ski Outfit in a consignment arrangement. The arrangement specifies that Ski Outfit will attempt to sell the merchandise, and in return, Mogul will pay to Ski Outfit a 15% sales commission on any merchandise sold. During the year, Mogul ships inventory with a cost of $130,000 to Ski Outfit. By the end of the year, $100,000 of the merchandise has been sold to customers for a total of $137,000. What amount of inventory will Mogul report at year end
Answer:
The amount of inventory Mogul will report at year end is $30,000.
Explanation:
The amount of inventory Mogul will report at year end can be calculated as follows:
Costs of goods available for sale = Costs of inventory shipped by Mogul = $130,000
Cost of goods sold = $100,000
Inventory at year end = Costs of goods available for sale - Cost of goods sold = $130,000 - $100,000 = $30,000
Therefore, the amount of inventory Mogul will report at year end is $30,000.
The resource based view (RBV) of the firm combines which two perspectives: Group of answer choices The primary and support activities of the firm. The interrelationships among the primary activities of the firm and corporate management. The internal analysis of the firm as well as the external analysis of the industry and competitive environment. The industry and the competitive environment.
Answer:
The internal analysis of the firm as well as the external analysis of the industry and competitive environment.
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.
Generally, the internal environmental scanning offers an organization strength and weakness while the external environmental scanning provides information about opportunities and threats while the external environmental scanning gives an overview of the opportunities in the market as well as potential threats to an organization.
A resource based view can be defined as a strategic model or framework used by a business firm to determine the various resources that to be exploited in order to achieve competitive advantage.
Hence, the resource based view (RBV) of the firm combines the internal analysis of the firm as well as the external analysis of the industry and competitive environment.
Desert Company exchanged 3,000 shares of its stock, for equipment from Jungle Company. Desert's stock has a par value of $50 per share and at the time of the exchange was not actively traded on a market but 12 months ago was sold at a value of $49 per share. The quoted fair value of the equipment is $170,993. What is the amount Desert should record as the historical cost of the equipment?
Answer:
Desert Company
The amount that Desert should record as the historical cost of the equipment is:
= $170,993.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Value of stock exchanged = $150,000 (3,000 * $50)
Fair value of equipment = $170,993
Gain from exchange of Equipment for shares = $20,993
b) The quoted fair value of Jungle's equipment should be used to record the historical cost in the financial statement of Desert Company. This value represents the only verifiable value. This value should then be compared to the value of the Desert shares exchanged with Jungle to determine if there is a loss or a gain from the exchange.

At the end of 2009, the following information is available for Clobes Company, Snyder Company, and Welz Company (you must show your calculations to receive full credit): Required: Which company has the highest level of financial risk? Using an appropriate ratio, support your answer. Which company is the most profitable from the owners' perspective? Using an appropriate ratio, support your answer. (3) Which company is getting the greatest return on assets? Show calculations.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve for this question. However I have found similar question on the internet and I will be using that data. Besides, I have attached the data used in the attachment below.
Solution:
1. The debt-to-equity ratio is the best way to assess financial risk. A higher debt-to-equity ratio indicates a higher level of financial risk. This ratio represents the willingness of the equity of the owners to fulfil their obligations.
Formula used:
Debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities divided by owner's equity
For Clobes:
Total liabilities = 100,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
Debt-to-equity ratio = 100000/200000 = 0.5
For Snyder:
Total liabilities = 300,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/200000 = 1.5
For Welz:
Total liabilities = 300,000
Owners' equity = 100,000
Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/100000 = 3
Welz faces the greatest financial risk because it has the highest debt-to-equity ratio. It has a debt-to-equity ratio of three. Even though it depends on the industry, a company's debt-to-equity ratio should be between 1 and 1.5 if it is considered optimal. In this case, Welz's financial risk is considerably higher.
2. calculate Return on Equity(ROE)
Formula used:
ROE = Net income / Owner's equity
For Clobes:
Net income = 25,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
ROE = 25,000 / 200000 = 0.125
For Snyder:
Net income = 30,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
ROE = 30000 / 200000 = 0.15
For Welz:
Net income = 20,000
Owners' equity = 200,000
ROE = 20000 / 100000 = 0.2
Welz has the highest return of equity (ROE) of 0.2.
As a result, Welz is the most profitable company.
3. Return on assets:
Formula used
Return on Assets = Net income / Total assets
For Clobes:
Net income = 25,000
Total assets = 300,000
Return on Assets = 25,000 / 300000 = 0.08
For Snyder:
Net income = 30,000
Total assets = 500000
Return on Assets = 30000 / 500000 = 0.06
For Welz:
Net income = 20,000
Total assets = 400,000
Return on Assets = 20000 / 400000 = 0.05
Hence,
Clobes has the highest return on assets, which is 0.08.
Olivia wants to buy some vacant land for investment purposes. She currently cannot afford the full purchase price. Instead, Olivia pays the landowner $8,000 to obtain an option to buy the land for $175,000 anytime in the next four years. Fourteen months after purchasing the option, Olivia sells the option for $10,000. What is the amount and character of Olivia's gain or loss
Answer:
$2,000 gain
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount and character of Olivia's gain or loss
Based on the information given we were told that she pays the landowner the amount of $8,000 in order for her to obtain an option to buy a land in which after purchasing the option she sells the option for the amount of $10,000 making her to gain the amount of $2,000.
Olivia's gain =$10,000-$8,000
Olivia's gain =$2,000
Therefore The amount and character of Olivia's gain will be $2,000
Answer: $2000
Explanation:
The amount and character of Olivia's gain or loss will be gotten by calculating the amount that Olivia paid the landowner $8,000 to obtain an option to buy the land and the amount she eventually sold the option. This will be:
= $10000 - $8000
= $2000

Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with five years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 8.80%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:
Answer:
$775,751
Explanation:
the effective semiannual rate = 1.088 = (1 + r)²
r = 4.3072%
we must first determine the present value of the face value = $1,000,000 / (1 + 4.3072%)¹⁰ = $655,927.02
now the present value of the coupon payments = $15,000 x [1 - 1/(1 + i)ⁿ ] / i = $15,000 x [1 - 1/(1 + 0.043072)¹⁰ ] / 0.043072 = $119,823.98
market price = $775,751

1. Compute the throughput time. 2. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter. (Round your percentage answer to nearest whole percent.) 3. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities? (Round your percentage answers to the nearest whole percent.) 4. Compute the delivery cycle time. 5. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE? (Round your percentage answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
1. Throughput time.
This is the length of time it takes to transform a raw material into finished goods.
= Inspection time + Process time + Move time + Queue time
= 0.7 + 2.8 + 1.3 + 4.1
= 8.9 days
2. Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency:
= Value added time / Throughput time * 100%
= 2.8 / 8.9 * 100%
= 31%
3. Percentage of time spent on none valuable activities:
= 1 - Manufacturing cycle efficiency
= 1 - 31%
= 69%
4. Delivery Cycle time:
= Wait time + Throughput time
= 16.2 + 8.9
= 25.1 days
5. New MCE.
Queue time is eliminated:
= 8.9 - 4.1
New Throughput time = 4.8 days
MCE = 2.8 / 4.8
= 58%
Suppose that a hot dog vendor uses a cart (K) and his time (L) to make and sell hot dogs. The vendor's production function is , where Q is the number of hot dogs per day. Suppose that the rental on hot dog carts is $50 per day and that the vendor wants to produce 500 hot dogs per day. The demand for labor is ____.
Answer:
L = 2084.75 W^-0.3
Explanation:
The computation of the demand of the labor is shown below:
At the optimum input
As we know that
MRTS = MPL ÷ MPK = w ÷ r
0.7(K ÷ L)^0.3 ÷ 0.3(L ÷ K)^0.7 = w ÷ 50
7K ÷ 3L = w ÷ 50
K = (3 ÷ 350)wL
Now apply the production function
Q = K^0.3L^0.7
500 = ((3 ÷ 350)wL)^0.3 L^0.7
500 = (3 ÷ 350)^0.3 × w^0.3 × L
L = 2084.75 × w^-0.3.
Assume markup is based on cost. Find the dollar markup and selling price for the following problem.
Item Cost Markup percent Dollar markup Selling price
Burberry men’s watch $590 20%
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the dollar markup and the selling price is shown below
The dollar markup is
= $590 × 20%
= $118
And, the selling price
= Cost + dollar markup
= $590 + $118
= $708
hence, the same would be relevant and considered too
Management wants a list of vendors with account balances as of 12/15/2024, sorted from the smallest to the largest amount outstanding. The following columns are to be included, from left to right: Active Status, Name (Vendor), Balance Total, Vendor Type, and Terms. Hint: Use the Vendor tab of the Vendor Center. Then change the view to include only vendors with open balances prior to sorting and printing.
Required:
Prepare and print the list requested by management.
Answer:
The vendor list can be created by using the spreadsheet. The column 1 will show all the names of the vendor, the column next to the names of vendor will show the active status. This can be shown using the symbols or signs present in the tool bar of the spreadsheet.
Explanation:
Spreadsheet makes the work easier for accountants. The list of vendor can be created with ease and it is easy for the user to sort and filter the data by just one click on the options. The vendor list will show the active list of the vendors along with their vendor type and balance totals.
The Heating Division of Kobe International produces a heating element that it sells to its customers for $40 per unit. Its variable cost per unit is $20, and its fixed cost per unit is $8. Top management of Kobe International would like the Heating Division to transfer 14,500 heating units to another division within the company at a price of $30. The Heating Division is operating at full capacity. Assume that the units being requested are special high-performance units and that the division's variable cost would be $28 per unit (rather than $20). What is the minimum transfer price that the Heating Division should accept
Answer:
$48
Explanation:
Calculation the minimum transfer price that the Heating Division should accept
Using this formula
Minimum transfer price=[New UVC + (Lost USP - Regular UVC)]
Let plug in the formula
Minimum transfer price=$28+ ($40- $20)
Minimum transfer price=$28+20
Minimum transfer price= $48
Therefore the minimum transfer price that the Heating Division should accept is $48
