when comparing companies in different industries a higher profit margin always indicates which company has better management
Answer: B. When comparing companies in different industries, a higher profit margin always indicates which company has better management performance
Explanation:
The profit margin refers to how much profit the company is making given the amount of sales it makes. It is therefore very dependant on the expenses incurred by the company.
This is why comparing management in different industries by using the Profit margin is like comparing apples and oranges. Industries are different and so are their methods of operation. One industry might require more expenses than another and still only make less sales which would impact it's profit margin negatively.
Profit Margin is best used for companies in the same industry.
Which of the following is not a function of Public Accounting firms?
A. Register public accounting firms that prepare audit reports of publicly traded companies.
B. Conduct inspections of registered public accounting firms.
C. Promulgate accounting principles.
D. Establish or adopt auditing standards.
Answer:
C. Promulgate accounting principles.
Explanation:
The public company accounting is a non profit organization, established by an act, which provides regulatory roles for auditors of firms who trade on the stock exchange market.
They are responsible for establishing standards for audits of financial company, sanction registered audit firms and to establish independence standards for auditors of public companies.
Therefore, option 'C' is odd because Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB) is the only body responsible for promulgating accounting principles.

Addy company has 2 products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 1700 units, and the annual production and sales of Product B is 1100 units. The company has traditionally used Direct Labor Hours to apply all manufacturing overhead to products.Product A requires 0.3 Direct Labor Hours per unit.Product B requires 0.6 Direct Labor Hours per unit.Total estimated overhead for the period is $98,785The company is considering switching to an Activity Based Costing system. The new ABC system would have 3 overhead cost pools, with overhead costs and activity as follows: Estimated Overhead Expected ActivityActivities Cost Product A Product B Product CActivity 1 $30,528 1000 MH 600 MH 1600 MHActivity 2 $17,385 1700 Setups 200 Setups 1900 SetupsTotal $50,872 510 DLH 660 DLH 1170 DLHThe pre-determined overhead rate under the traditional costing system is closest to:a. $9.15.b. $43.48.c. $84.43.d. $19.08.
Answer:
Addy
Predetermined overhead rate
c. $84.43
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Product A requires 0.3 Direct Labor Hours per unit.
Product B requires 0.6 Direct Labor Hours per unit.
Total estimated overhead for the period is $98,785
Direct Labor Hours for A = 510
Direct Labor Hours for B = 660
Total Direct Labor Hours = 1,170
b) Addy's two products will have a predetermined overhead rate that is equal to $98,785/1,170, which is $84.43. The predetermined overhead rate results from the division of the total estimated overhead for the period by the total number of direct labor hours for products A and B. Addy applies this rate to each product based on the level of direct labor hours used in order to ascertain the amount of overhead attributable to the product.
Company has a division that manufactures a component that sells for and has variable costs of and fixed costs of . Another division wants to purchase the component. What is the minimum transfer price if the division is operating at capacity?
Complete Question:
Palmo Company has a division that manufactures a component that sells for $66 and has variable costs of $29 and fixed costs of $19. Another division wants to purchase the component. What is the minimum transfer price if the division is operating at capacity?
A. $48
B. $66
C. $19
D. $29
Answer:
Option D. $66 per unit
Explanation:
The transfer price can be calculated using the following Formula if the division is working at full capacity:
Lowest Transfer Price = Variable cost per unit + Contribution lost Per unit
Here
Variable cost per unit is $29
Contribution lost Per unit = $66 - $29 = $37
By putting values in the above equation, we have:
Lowest Transfer Price = $29 + $37 = $66 per unit which is the market price of the company. If the company wasn't operating at full capacity then the minimum transfer price would be variable cost only because we will not have any contribution lost losses. This means that if the division is operation at full capacity the transfer price would be market price.
Margaret incurred one personal casualty loss caused by a federally declared major disaster in 2019. The amount of the loss, after all reimbursements had been subtracted, is $2,500. Margaret's AGI is $35,000. What is the amount of her casualty loss deduction
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
There are two Step for the computation of casualty loss deduction if the casualty loss is personal
Step 1 Reduce $100 per casualty event from the casualty loss
Step 2 Reduce 10% of the AGI from the amount you get from step 1
Data
Loss = $2,500
AGI = $35,000
Deduction =?
Solution
Step 1 = $2,500 - $100 = $2,400
Step 2: $2,400 - ($35,000 x 10%) = $0
If the amount in step 2 is $0 then the person is not eligible for casualty loss deduction

Minden Corporation estimates that the following costs and activity would be associated with the manufacture and sale of product A: Number of units sold annually 32,000 Required investment $ 520,000 Unit product cost $ 31 Selling and administrative expenses $ 170,000 If the company uses the absorption costing approach to cost-plus pricing described in the text and desires a 15% rate of return on investment (ROI), the required markup on absorption cost for Product A would be closest to:
Answer:
markup % = 6.71%
markup in $ = $2.4375
selling price per unit = $38.75
Explanation:
budgeted sales units = 32,000
COGS ($992,000)
S&A expenses ($170,000)
required return = $520,000 x 15% = ($78,000)
total cost per unit = ($992,000 + $170,000) / 32,000 = $36.3125
total sales revenue = 32,000 x selling price = $1,240,000
selling price = $1,240,000 / 32,000 units = $38.75 per unit
markup % = (sales price per unit / total cost per unit) - 1 = ($38.75 / $36.3125) - 1 = 6.71%
mark up in $ = $38.75 - $$36.3125 = $2.4375

Compute the activity rates for the activity cost pools.(Round "Direct labor support" to 2 decimal places)3. Compute the overhead costs for the order from Shenzhen Enterprises, including customer support costs.
Answer:
1. First stage allocations of overhead costs to the activity cost pool
D.L.S$ O.P$ C.S$ Others$ Total$
Wages and Salaries 120,000 90,000 60,000 30,000 300,000
Other overhead costs 30,000 10,000 20,000 40,000 100,000
Total Cost 150,000 100,000 80,000 70,000 400,000
Note: D.L.S = Direct labor support, O.P = Order processing, C.S = Customer support
2. Computation of activity rates
Direct labor support
Total cost = $150,000
Total Activity = 20,000 direct labor hours
Activity rate = $150,000 / 20,000 DHL = $7.50 per DHL
Order Processing
Total cost = $100,000
Total Activity = 400 Orders
Activity rate = $100,000 / 400 DHL = $250 per Order
Customer Support
Total cost = $80,000
Total Activity = 200 Customers
Activity rate = $80,000 / 200 Customers = $400 per Customers
3. Computation of the overhead costs for the Shenzhen Enterprises Order
Direct labor Support
Activity Rate = $7.50 per DLH
Activity = 20 DHL
Cost = $7.50 per DHL* 20 DHL = $150
Order processing
Activity Rate = $250 per order
Activity = 1 order
Cost = $250 per order * 1 order = $250
Customer support
Activity Rate = $400 per customer
Activity = 1 Customer
Cost = $400 per Customer * 1 Customer = $400
Total Overhead Cost = $150 + $250 + $400
Total Overhead Cost = $800
Total Overhead Cost for the Shenzhen Enterprises Order is $800
The activity rate is the ratio between the number of active people (employed and unemployed) and the total number of people involved, this is calculated as one of the significant part of Activity-based Costing.
What is ABC Costing?
Activity-based (ABC) is a cost-effective method that identifies activities in an organization and provides the cost per job for all products and services depending on the actual use of each.
This model, therefore, offers an overhead cost over direct costs compared to normal costs.
1. As per the information provided, the report showing the first-stage allocations of overhead costs to the activity pools is calculated and presented in the image below.
2. Calculation of activity rates of Advanced Products Corporation:
[tex]\rm\,Direct\; Labor \;Support:\\\\Total \;Cost = \$150,000\\\\Total \;Activity = 20,000 Direct\; Labor\; Hours\;(DLH)\\\\Activity \;Rate = \dfrac{\$150,000}{20,000} \rm\,DLH\\\\ Activity \;Rate =\$7.50 \;per\; DLH[/tex]
Calculating further the activity rate of Order processing and customer support:
[tex]\rm\, Order \;Processing:\\\ \rm\,Total \;cost = $100,000\\\\ \rm\,Total \;Activity = 400 Orders\\\\\\rm\,Activity\; rate = \dfrac{\$100,000}{400}\rm\,Direct \,Labour \,Hours \\\\\\\rm\,Activity rate == $250\; per\; Order\\\\\ \rm\,Customer Support:\\\\ \rm\,Total \;Cost = $80,000\\\\ \rm\,Total\; Activity = \rm\,200\; Customers\\\\ \rm\,Activity \;rate = \rm\, \dfrac{\$80,000}{200 }\;Customers\\\\\rm\, Activity \;rate = \rm\,\$400 \rm\,\;per\; Customers[/tex]
3)Computation of the overhead costs for the Shenzhen Enterprises Order:
[tex]\rm\,Direct \;labor \;Support:\\\\Activity \;Rate = $7.50 \;per \;DLH\\\\Activity = 20 \;DLH\\\\\rm\,Cost = \$7.50 \rm\, Per DHL \times 20 \rm\,DHL \\\\\rm\,Cost = \$150[/tex]
[tex]\rm\,Order \;processing:\\\\Activity\; Rate = \$250 per \;order\\\\Activity\; = 1 \;order\\\\Cost = \$250 \rm\;per \;order \times 1 \;order \\\\Cost = \$250[/tex]
Calculating further the activity rate of customer support:
[tex]\rm\,Customer\; support:\\\\Activity \;Rate = \$400 \;per\; customer\\\\Activity = 1 \;Customer\\\\Cost = \$400 \rm\;per \;Customer \times 1 \;Customer \\\\Cost = \$400[/tex]
Total Overhead Cost is ($150 + $250 + $400),Total Overhead Cost for the Shenzhen Enterprises Order is $800
Thus, as per the information, the activity rates of Advanced products corporation and the total overhead costs of Shenzhen Enterprises are calculated by applying the costing method given under ABC Analysis.

Assume that an investor owns 35% of an investee, and accounts for its investment using the equity ethod. At the beginning of the year, the Equity investment was reported on the investor's balance sheet at $360,000. During the year, the investeee reported net income of $110,000 and paid dividends of $20,000 to he investor. In addition, the investor sold inventory to the investee, realizing a gorss profit of $36,000 on the sale. At the end of the year, 15% of the inventory remained unsold by the investee.
a) How much equity income should the investor report for the year?
b) What is the balance of the Equity Investment at the end of the year?
c) Assume that the inventories are all sold in the following year, The investeee reports $160,000 of net income. How much equity income will the investor report for the following year?
Answer:
a. Investors shares in Net Income = Net Income * Share percentage
= $110,000 * 35%
= $38,500
Share of unrealized gain = Gross profit * Percentage of remaining inventory * Share percentage
= $36,000 * 15% * 35%
= $1,890
Hence, Equity Income = Investors share in Net income - Investor share in unrealized gain on ending inventory
= $38,500 - $1,890
= $38,610
b. Equity investment balance at year end = Equity Investment in the beginning during the time+ Equity income to be reported - Dividend paid
= $360,000 + $36,610 - $20,000
= $376,000
c. Investor share in Net Income = Net income * Share percentage
= $160,000 * 35%
= $56,000
Share of unrealized gain = Gross profit * Percentage of remaining inventory * Share percentage
= $36,000 * 15% * 35%
= $1,890
Hence, Equity Income = Investor share in Net Income + Investor share in unrealized gain on beginnging inventory
= $56,000 + $1,890
= $57,890

Mike says, "The possibility that my house may burn isa pure risk for me, but if I buy insurance, it is a speculativerisk for the insurance company." Do you agree? Why or
Answer:
I agree with Mike because pure risks involve only possible losses. Since he owns his house, the possibility of it burning down would represent only a loss to him.
But if he buys insurance, he will pay an insurance premium which means that if the house burns down, the company will lose money, but if the hose doesn't burn down, the insurance company will make a profit. This represents speculative risk because the possibility of a gain and a loss exist.

Claire purchases an eight-year callable bond with a 10% annual coupon rate payable semiannually. The bond has a face value of 3,000 and a redemption value of 2,800. The purchase price assumes the bond is called at the end of the fourth year for 2,900, and provides an annual effective yield of 10.0%. Immediately after the first coupon payment is received, the bond is called for 2,960. Claire’s annual effective yield rate is i. Calculate i.
Answer:
12.41%
Explanation:
yield to call = {coupon + [(call value - market value)/n]} / [(call value - market value)/2]
0.05 = {150 + [(2,900 - market value)/8]} / [(2,900 - market value)/2]
0.05 x [(2,900 - market value)/2] = 150 + [(2,900 - market value)/8]
0.05 x (1,450 + 0.5MV) = 150 + 362.5 - 0.125MV
72.5 + 0.025MV = 512.5 - 0.125MV
0.15MV = 440
MV = 440 / 0.15 = $2,933.33
Claire's total returns = $150 (coupon) + ($2,960 - $2,933.33) = $176.67
Claire's return on investment = $176.67 / $2,933.33 = 6.02273%
effective annual yield = (1 + 6.02273%)² - 1 = 12.41%

Vulnerability tests need to be performed at regular intervals and reports monitored and analyzed to protect against a potential source of cyber attack.
You find a certain stock that had returns of 16 percent, −9 percent, 23 percent, and 24 percent for four of the last five years. The average return of the stock over this period was 14.4 percent. a. What was the stock’s return for the missing year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place, e.g., 32.1.) b. What is the standard deviation of the stock’s returns? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
stock's returns = (0.16 - 0.09 + 0.23 + 0.24 + x) / 5 = 0.144
0.16 - 0.09 + 0.23 + 0.24 + x = 0.144 x 5
0.54 + x = 0.72
missing return (x) = 0.72 - 0.54 = 0.18 = 18%
variance = [(0.16 - 0.144)² + (-0.09 - 0.144)² + (0.23 - 0.144)² + (0.24 - 0.144)² + (0.18 - 0.144)²] / 5 = (0.000256 + 0.054636257 + 0.007396 + 0.009216 + 0.001296) / 5 = 0.014560051
standard deviation = √0.014560051 = 0.1207 = 12.07%

Warehouses have many functions. One of them is to:a. Reduce the response time on a customer's order.b. Reduce the inventory carrying costs of the company.c. Reduce duty rates for the company.d. Increase the response time to a customer's order.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: Reduce the response time on a customer's order.
Explanation:
To begin with, the warehouses are the places that the organizations use in order to accumulate inventory near the places of sale so the primary purpose of them is to increase the amount of available stock that could be quickly send to the place of sale and therefore to reduce the response time on a customer's order when they want to buy something that is not currently in stock in the place where the sale is taking place. And that is why that one of the many functions of the warehouse is to achieve that goal of reducing that wait time that the customer might suffer.
If the appropriate discount rate for this bond is 6%, what would you be willing to pay for ABC’s bond?
Question:
Suppose there is a bond in ABC Company that that pays coupons of 8.5%, and suppose that these coupons are paid annually.
Suppose the face value of the ABC bond is $1000 and the maturity is 11 years.
If the appropriate discount rate for this bond is 6%, what would you be willing to pay for ABC’s bond?
Answer:
Price of bond = $ 1197.17
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 price of the bond can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Annual Interest payment = 8.5%× 1000 = 85
Annual yield = 6%
Total period to maturity (in years) = 11
PV of interest =
85 × (1- (1+0.06)^(-11)/)/0.06 = 670.38
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.06)^(-11) = 526.78
Step 3:
Price of bond
670.38 + 526.78= 1,197.17
Price of bond = $ 1197.17

$7,700 increase
Explanation:
We can determine the change in Wolverine's cash balance by deducting the cash disbursement and operating expenses from the cash receipts.\
Change in cash balance = Cash receipts - Cash disbursement - Operating expense
Change in cash balance = $48,000 - $33,800 -$6,500
Change in cash balance = $7,700
WORKING:
Cash Receipts
Sales
February ( 59,000 x 45%) $26,550
January ( 39,000 x 55%) $21,450
Total $48,000
Cash disbursement
Purchases
February ( 44,000 x 15%) $6,600
January ( 32,000 x 85%) $27,200
Total $33,800
Operating expenses
Incurred $9,400
Depreciation ($2,900)
Net $6,500
You work as an assistant coach on the university basketball team and earn $15 per hour. One day, you decide to skip the hour-long practice and go to the movie theater instead, which has an admission fee of $9. The total cost (valued in dollars) of skipping practice and going to the movies (including the opportunity cost of time) is
Answer:
Total cost = $24
Explanation:
In economics total cost is a combination of the amount actually paid for a product or activity and the forgone benefit of buying another product or doing another activity.
Opportunity cost is defined as the forgone alternative of doing a particular activity. For example of you can buy ice cream or a book, if you buy a book you forgot the pleasure you would have derived from taking the ice cream.
In this instance the actual cost of going to the movie is $9 while the foregone alternative is the $15 you would have earned as a coach.
Therefore
Total cost = 15 + 9 = $24

Answer:
A. This variable is a discrete numerical variable that is ratio scaled
b..This variable is a categorical variable that is nominal scaled
C. This variable is a continuous numerical variable that is interval scaled
D. This variable is a discrete numerical variable that is ratio scaled
E.This variable is a continuous numerical variable that is ratio scaled
Explanation:
This is because we know that
Interval scale has the variable that has ordering that is its is scaled with respect to who comes first and has e measure of the distance between different categories
While
Ratio scale is similar to interval scaled but with a reference equal same as zero.
The generally accepted accounting principles for trading securities include all of the following except:________a. Initially recording the investment at costb. Subsequently valuing the investment at fair valuec. Including unrealized holding gains and losses as a component of stockholders' equityd. Including interest and dividend revenue as part of income
Answer:
c. Including unrealized holding gains and losses as a component of stockholders' equity
Explanation:
Any unrealized holding gains or losses of Held for Trading securities must be included in the income statement under unrealized gains or losses. They affect net income, because a gain resulting from an increase in market value will increase net income, and a decrease in market will decrease net income.
Mr. Saso is currently holding $10,000,000 worth of Exxon mobile stock in his portfolio. In order to hedge his position Mr Saso should
Answer:
B. Write a put option on $10 million worth of Exxon Mobile
Explanation:
In order to hedge or reduce the risk Mr Saso should be writing a put option as it permits to sell the stock at the price i.e. predetermined. In case when there is a drop in price that falls the position so it would not be destroyed and therefore the profits could be made
The other option i.e. c and d are not correct as there is no requirement of call option and also long position
And, the option a is also wrong because in this it considered buying the particular amount not for selling it
Hence, the correct option is B
If the company is using the payback period method and it requires a payback of three years or less, which project(s) should be selected?
Answer: Project X
Explanation:
The Payback period is the amount of time it would take for the cash inflows accruing from an investment to payoff the cost of the investment.
Project X has a constant cashflow of $24,000 for 3 years and a cost of $68,000 for the Payback period is;
= 68,000/24,000
= 2.83 years
Project Y has an uneven cash flow with a cost of $60,000. Payback is calculated as;
= Year before payback + Amount left to be paid/cashflow in year of payback
Year before payback = 4,000 + 26,000 + 26,000
= $56,000
This means that the third year is the year before payback.
60,000 - 56,000 = $4,000
Payback period = 3 + 4,000/20,000
= 3.2 years
Based on a Payback period of 3 years, only Project X should be chosen as it pays back in less than 3 years.
