Explanation:
A company has a merit pay plan based on the relative performances of workers teams. Each worker is a team gets the same wage as other team members, but those in more productive teams get higher wages. Which of the following would NOT explain why this incentive might be better than other methods for motivating workers to work harder?
A) If a worker works harder, it increases the productivity of other team members.
B) If a team works harder, it does not affect the productivity of other teams.
C) One worker can easily sabotage the productivity of other workers.
D) One team can easily sabotage the productivity of other teams.
Answer:
C) One worker can easily sabotage the productivity of other workers.
Explanation:
This is a form of compensation by merit that comprises the performance of a team as a whole, so this is a way of motivating both group work and individual work.
In the scenario above, we can see that this compensation plan would be effective in leveraging the performance of individual workers, and of teams, because if each member of the team is more productive, it will benefit the team as a whole. And this method will not affect the productivity of other teams, as each team will be encouraged and engaged to do the best job possible to achieve merit pay.
The alternative that does not correspond to the question that this incentive may be better than other methods to motivate workers to work harder, is the one that says that a worker can sabotage the productivity of other workers, as that worker is also likely to be engaged in not sabotaging the work of other team members, as the remuneration bonuses depend on the effort of the entire team to work together, and not just one employee.
Your textbook discussed a model of a simple economy with four markets: labor, capital, energy, and food. Which of the following statements is inconsistent with a general equilibrium for this simple economy?
A. The household demand for energy equals the industry supply of energy.
B. The household demand for food equals the industry supply of food.
C. The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor.
D. The household supply of capital equals the industry demand for capital.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor
Explanation:
To begin with, when it comes to the microeconomics theory the market of labor is considered to be as a factor of production market and from that point of view the labor is demanded by the companies to the households who are the ones who offered the labor due to the fact that the workers are the one who put their force to disposition of the companies. And that is why that it would be inconsistent to say that the household demand for labor will equals the industry supply of labor, because it is all the way around, the household supply of labor will equals the industry demand of it.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. Commercial paper can be issued by virtually any firm so long as it is willing to pay the going interest rate. b. Short-term debt is favored by firms because, while it is generally more expensive than long-term debt, it exposes the borrowing firm to less risk than long-term debt. c. Commercial paper is a form of short-term financing that is primarily used by large, strong, financially stable companies. d. Trade credit is provided only to relatively large, strong firms. e. Commercial paper is typically offered at a long-term maturity of at least five years.
Answer: Commercial paper is a form of short-term financing that is primarily used by large, strong, financially stable companies.
Explanation:
Commercial papers a promissory notes which are issued by companies on a short term basis that are unsecured. It should be noted that that they are used by the strong, large, and financially stable companies.
Commercial paper are issued in order to finance payroll, and also meet a company's short-term liabilities.
Kray Inc., which produces a single product, has provided the following data for its most recent month of operations: Number of units produced 6,000 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 40 Direct labor $ 19 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 8 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 2 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 144,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 198,000 There were no beginning or ending inventories. The variable costing unit product cost was:
Answer:
The variable costing unit product cost was $69.
Explanation:
Variable Product Costing is a situation whereby only the variable costs of production is taking into account to estimating the cost per unit of a product. This implies that none of the fixed cost will be included in the cost of the product.
Based on the explanation above, the variable costing unit product cost to produce a single product by Kray Inc. can be calculated as follows:
Kray Inc.
Calculation of Variable Costing Unit Product Cost
Particulars Amount ($)
Direct materials 40
Direct labor 19
Variable manufacturing overhead 8
Variable selling and administrative expense 2
Variable cost per unit 69
Therefore, the variable costing unit product cost was $69.

Find the accumulated depreciation for 2014 first.
The accumulated depreciation for 2014 is:_$45,900____(Round to the nearest dollar.)
Explanation:
A company's income statement is one of the three financial statements prepared by the entity at the end of its fiscal period. The statement compares the company's revenue with the expenses. After deducting the total expenses from the total revenue, the net income or loss is obtained. But before arriving at the net income or loss, there are other profit points that are usually calculated. The first is the gross profit, which is the difference between the sales revenue and the cost of goods sold. It shows the ability of the management to generate enough revenue to cover the cost of goods sold and make a profit from its trading or primary activities.
The next profit point is the Earnings before Interests and Taxes (EBIT). This is an important index for checking the financial performance of a company. The next is the Taxable Income on which the tax rate is determined and paid to government as Company Income Tax. After deducting the tax expense from the pre-tax income, the final profit point is the After-Tax Income or the Net Income. This determines the dividends policy and the share of retained earnings of the entity.
Income Statement Debit and Credit columns of an end-of-period spreadsheet are $27,000 and $29,000, respectively, after all account balances have been extended, the amount of the net loss is $2,000.
a. True
b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Revenues are an equity entry and as such are credited when they increase therefore the credit side of an income statement contains revenue. Expenses on the other hand are debited to remove them from revenue.
A credit of $29,000 and a debit of $27,000 means that there was a net income of $2,000 not a net loss. If the debits are less than the credits then that means that there are less expenses than revenue which would bring about a profit.
Often the life of a whistleblower involves tremendous ridicule and scrutiny from others, despite doing the "right thing." Describe your views as to why whistleblowers face tremendous obstacles as a result of bringing the inappropriate actions of otehrs to light.
Answer:
Find the explanation below.
Explanation:
Whistleblowing is the act of raising an alarm over unethical or illegal acts committed by people holding political or public service positions. The whistleblower is most times motivated by the quest to end the injustice or negative impact suffered by the disadvantaged group. Whistleblowers suffer tremendous obstacles from the people they have exposed because;
1. The offender's source of illegal income has been withdrawn. Just like humans fight for survival when their source of livelihood is taken away, so would a person fight against whatever that tends to take away their illegal source of wealth.
2. Fear of being seen in a negative light by others. The person committing a crime usually puts up an act of innocence, thus presenting himself as a morally upright person. When the whistleblower tries to expose their true identity, it is only expected that they would try to shut him up.

If the price that determined where marginal revenue equaled marginal cost were below the bottom of the average variable cost curve, then the profit-maximizing, monopolistically competitive firm would
Answer: c. shut down because it would cost more to produce and sell output than it would to shut down and lose all fixed costs.
Explanation:
The profit maximizing, monopolistically competitive firm maximises profit at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal costs.
If this point is below Average variable costs then that means that the company is not making enough to cover its variable costs. Should this be the case then the company should shutdown operations because variable costs are only there when the company is producing. If they shutdown then they will no longer incur them which would be the cheaper option.
They would take losses on the fixed costs but these have already been incurred so it would be better to lose the fixed costs than continue to make losses on variable costs.
MAD’s target capital structure is 60 percent debt and 40 percent equity. The yield to maturity on the company’s new debt will be 10 percent. MAD’s beta is 1.7, the risk free rate is 4% and the required market return is 12%. If the company’s tax rate is 30 percent, then which of the projects will be accepted?
Answer: D) Projects A and C
Explanation:
The projects to be taken should have a higher IRR than the company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital.
Cost of Equity
= Risk free rate + beta( market return - risk free rate)
= 4% + 1.7 (12% - 4%)
= 17.6%
After tax cost of debt
= Yield ( 1 - tax rate)
= 10% * ( 1 - 30%)
= 7%
WACC = (Weight of debt * after tax cost of debt) + (weight of equity * cost of equity)
= (0.6 * 7% ) + ( 0.4 * 17.6%)
= 4.2% + 7.04%
= 11.24%
Projects A and C both have IRR higher than the company's WACC and so should be accepted.
Bond X is a premium bond making semiannual payments. The bond pays a coupon rate of 9 percent, has a YTM of 7 percent, and has 15 years to maturity. Bond Y is a discount bond making semiannual payments. This bond pays a coupon rate of 7 percent, has a YTM of 9 percent, and also has 15 years to maturity. The bonds have a $1,000 par value. What is the price of each bond today
Answer:
Bond Price today
Bond X = $1183.920454 rounded off to $1183.92
Bond Y = $837.1111146 rounded off to $837.11
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
For Bond X
Coupon Payment (C) = 0.09 * 1/2 * 1000 = $45
Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30
r or YTM = 7% * 1/2 = 3.5% or 0.035
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 45 * [( 1 - (1+0.035)^-30) / 0.035] + 1000 / (1+0.035)^30
Bond Price = $1183.920454 rounded off to $1183.92
For Bond Y
Coupon Payment (C) = 0.07 * 1/2 * 1000 = $35
Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30
r or YTM = 9% * 1/2 = 4.5% or 0.045
Bond Price = 35 * [( 1 - (1+0.045)^-30) / 0.045] + 1000 / (1+0.045)^30
Bond Price = $837.1111146 rounded off to $837.11
Projectized organizations are especially effective at helping team members to maintain their discipline-specific competencies. Group of answer choices
Answer: False
Explanation:
A projectized organization is a form of organization structure is that is designed such that it is hierarchical and headed by the project manager who is typically involved in every decision that is made regarding the project as he or she is the one that team members report to.
Therefore, projectized organizations are not effective at helping team members to maintain their discipline-specific competencies.
If the government wants to minimize the deadweight loss of taxation, which of the following items are good candidates for an excise tax? (select all that apply)A. emergency plumber servicesB. Coca-ColaC. insulinD. food at restaurants
Answer:
A. emergency plumber services and C.insulin.
Explanation:
From the list provided the best candidates for this would be emergency plumber services and insulin. That is because these are items or services that have a high supply but low demand due to the population of customers being a minority. This, therefore, causes market inefficiency which leads to deadweight loss. Other items like Coca-Cola and food mostly stay in equilibrium because products are made depending on the current demand and the customer population is the vast majority.

The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 20 percent a year for the next 4 years and then decreasing the growth rate to 5 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $2.00 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 5.70 percent
Answer:
Current market value =$40.6
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
PV of dividend from year 1 to 4
Year Present Value
1 2 × (1.2) ×(1.057)^(-1) = 2.27
2 2 × (1.2)^2×(1.057)^(-2)= 2.58
3 2 × (1.2)^3×(1.057)^(-3) = 2.93
4 2 × (1.2)^4×(1.057)^(-4) = 3.32
Total PV = 11.10
PV of dividend from year 1 to 4 = 11.10
PV of dividend from year 5 and beyond
This will be done in two steps:
Step 1: PV (in year 4 terms) of dividends
( 2 × (1.2)^4× (1-0.05) )/(0.057--(0.05)) = 36.82
Step 2 : PV( in year 0 terms) of dividends
=PV in (year 4 terms)× (1+r)^-4
=36.82 × 1.057^(-4) = 29.50
PV of dividend from year 5 and beyond =29.50
Current market value = Total PV of dividend = 11.10 + 29.50 = $40.6
Current market value =$40.6
If a company has the following data, is the budget variance favorable or unfavorable? Budgeted Sales $10,000 Actual Sales. $8,000
Answer:
$2,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the budget variance is shown below:
Budget variance is
= Budgeted sales - actual sales
where,
Budgeted sales is $10,000
And the actual sales is $8,000
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the budget variance is
= $10,000 - $8,000
= $2,000 unfavorable
Since the actual sales is less than the budgeted sales so the same is to be unfavorable else it is favorable
A company’s common stock has a market value of $63.18 per share and its next dividend is expected to be $3.26 per share. The stock’s beta is 1.2, the tax rate is 35%, and the market risk premium is 6.1% per year. The yield to maturity for the company’s long-term debt is 6.4% per year. If the riskiness of the company’s equity requires that it provide a risk premium of 3.2% per year over the yield on its long-term debt, what is the company’s annual cost of internal equity financing?
Answer:
Cost of equity = 9.6%
Explanation:
The cost of equity is the return a firm theoretically pays to its equity investors, In order to calculate the cost of equity here we need to add up the yield to maturity for the company's long term debt and the risk premium per year over the yield on its long term debt.
Solution
Cost of equity = Yield to maturity + Risk premium
Cost of equity = 6.4% + 3.2%
Cost of equity = 9.6%
To be effective, your goals must be balanced in the following areas:a. Career, Fun, Health, Relationship, Spiritualityb. Environmental, Spirituality, Organicc. Career, Financial, Health and Fitness, Relationships, Spirituality
Answer:
Career , Financial , Health and Fitness, Relationships, Spirituality
Explanation:
Goals are what one plan to achieve within a specified period of time. Goal could be short term , usually one year or long term goal, which is more than a year. People that want to succeed must set goals because setting goal gives direction. When people set goals, it gives them the opportunity to work harder towards achieving that goal and also provides benchmark for determining if one is actually succeeding or on the right path.
People set goals on daily basis. The question is; how effective are those goals. It therefore means that for a goal to be effective, it must touch or cover the following areas ; career, financial, health and fitness, relationships, spirituality.
Schuepfer Inc. bases its selling and administrative expense budget on budgeted unit sales. The sales budget shows 2,600 units are planned to be sold in March. The variable selling and administrative expense is $3.10 per unit. The budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense is $35,760 per month, which includes depreciation of $4,100 per month. The remainder of the fixed selling and administrative expense represents current cash flows. The cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses on the March selling and administrative expense budget should be:________.a. $40,210.b. $44,410.c. $31,570.
Answer:
$39,720
Explanation:
Total fixed costs that represent current cash flows = $35,760 - $4,100
Total fixed costs that represent current cash flows = $31,660
Variable costs = 2,600 units * $3.10
Variable costs = $8,060
The cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses on the March selling and administrative expense budget will be
= $31,660 + $8,060
= $39,720
Additional workers will increase a company's to a certain point until gains frombegin to decline. At this point, will continue to increase, but ___________ will diminish with each additional worker. Eventually there will be too many workers and not enoughto keep them busy inevitably slowing down production.
Answer:
Marginal product
Explanation:
There would be an increase in the marginal product of labour. more workers would result in more specialization in skilled areas. As workers increase, it is expected that work done would rise also.
Such that a time would come when the workers would be enough and no more gains would be accrued from specialization. We refer to this as the point of diminishing marginal product. capital would be fixed such that as more workers are used capital declines for each worker.

Answer:
Working capital = $ 374,000
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the company’s working capital at December 31, 2021
Formula for Working Capital
Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
First is to find the Current assets
Current assets =Cash $40,000 + Accounts receivable 170,000 +Raw materials 44,000+Work in process 62,000 +Finished goods 109,000 +Notes receivable 120,000 +Interest receivable 23,000 +Investment in debt securities 52,000+Prepaid rent 40,000 (80,000/2)
Current assets=$660,000
Second step is to find the Current liabilities
Current liabilities =Interest payable $25,000+Accounts payable 200,000+Deferred revenue 28,000 (56,000/2) +Allowance for uncollectible accounts 33,000
Current liabilities =$286,000
Let plug in the formula
Working capital =$660,000 - $286,000
Working capital = $ 374,000
Therefore the company’s working capital at December 31, 2021 will be $374,000
4. Giving specific examples of global companies, discuss the following concepts which are contemporary issues of concern to Global Businesses: a) Corporate Social Responsibility b) Off-shoring c) Business Sustainability
Answer:
a) Corporate Social Responsibility
This is a type of international private business that is self-regulated which helps a company to become socially responsible, that is, giving back to the society through philanthropic activities which may include volunteer work or environmental activism.
b) Off-Shoring
Offshoring is simply taking advantage of difference in the cost of production or labor to relocate a business to another country in order to get cheaper labor for manufacturing operations.
Typically, it moves the production of materials from a country where such materials are expensive to another country where the materials are cheap in order to save costs.
c) Business Sustainability
This is simply taking care of all the major facets of a business in order to ensure that the success they have enjoyed in the past is sustained.
These facets could include management of social and economic demands to ensure optimal performance.
A business that is sustainable has a very little negative impact, rather it impacts its immediate environment positively.
Heather Smith is considering a bond investment in Locklear Airlines. The $1,000 par value bonds have a quoted annual interest rate of 8 percent and the interest is paid semiannually. The yield to maturity on the bonds is 12 percent annual interest. There are 10 years to maturity.Required:Compute the price of the bonds based on semiannual analysis.
Answer:
Price of bond = $770.60
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Heather Smith can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 8%× 1000 × 1/2 =40
Semi-annual yield = 12/2 = 6% per six months
Total period to maturity (in months) = (2 ×10) = 20 periods
PV of interest =
40 × (1- (1+0.06)^(-20)/0.06) = 458.796
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.06)^(-20) = 311.80
Step 3 :Price of bond
= 458.796 + 311.80 = 770.60
Price of bond = $770.60

Dvorak Company produces a product that requires 5 standard pounds per unit. The standard price is $2.50 per pound. If 1,000 units required 4,500 pounds, which were purchased at $3.00 per pound, what is the direct materials (a) price variance, (b) quantity variance, and (c) total direct materials cost variance
Answer:
Direct material price variance= $2,250 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance= $1,250 favorable
Total variance= $1,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2.5 - 3)*4,500
Direct material price variance= $2,250 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 5*1,000= 5,000
Direct material quantity variance= (5,000 - 4,500)*2.5
Direct material quantity variance= $1,250 favorable
Total variance= 1,250 - 2,250= $1,000 unfavorable
Suppose that when your income increases by $300, your consumption expenditures increases by $240.
Your marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is _________ .
If your MPC was the same as the MPC for the economy as a whole, the expenditure multiplier for the economy would be ______________ .
Thus, a $4 million investment project would increase income by $ _________ million in total.
Answer:
The MPC is 0.8
The multiplier or k is 5
The increase in income would be $20 million.
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of increased disposable income that consumers spend. It is a metric to quantify the induced consumption and how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of increase in income.
MPC is calculated as follows,
MPC = Change in consumer spending / change in income
MPC = 240 / 300
MPC = 0.8 or 80%
To calculate the multiplier, we simply use the following formula,
Multiplier or k = 1 / (1 - MPC)
k = 1 / (1 - 0.8)
k = 5
So, the expenditure multiplier for the economy would be 5.
To calculate the increase in income, we will multiply the investment amount by the expenditure multiplier.
Income increase = 4000000 * 5
Income increase = $20000000 or 20 million
