With regard to consideration in a sales contract, the UCC differs from the common law in that:_______
A) terms of a sales contract may be modified without additional consideration.
B) consideration is not required in sales contracts
C) terms in a sales contract may be modified as long as additional consideration is provided.
D) consideration exchanged must be equal or very closely equal in sales contracts.
Answer:
A) terms of a sales contract may be modified without additional consideration.
Explanation:
Generally speaking, common law applies to everybody in an equal manner, i.e. the law is the same for everyone. While UCC rules vary depending if the parties involved are merchants or not. UCC has two standards, one that applies to merchants and another one that applies to everyone else.
Common law applies to all contracts that are not covered by UCC rules. UCC rules only apply to the sale of goods and this doesn't include money or securities. Under UCC rules, new consideration is not a requirement to modify an existing contract. E.g. a buyer places an order for 3,000 units, but the seller only has 2,000 units available. The seller can send the 2,000 units and if the buyer accepts them, a new contract is formed.

A company issues 9% bonds with a par value of $110,000 at par on January 1. The market rate on the date of issuance was 8%. The bonds pay interest semiannually on January 1 and July 1. The cash paid on July 1 to the bond holder(s) is:
Answer: $4950
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a company issues 9% bonds with a par value of $110,000 at par on January 1 and that the market rate on the date of issuance was 8% and also that the bonds pay interest semiannually on January 1 and July 1.
There is no discount on the bonds payable because they are issues at par. Therefore, the cash paid on July 1 to the bond holders will be:
= $110,000 x 9% x 6/12
= $110,000 x 9/100 x 6/12
= $110,000 x 0.09 x 0.5
= $4,950

$272,080Explanation:
total sales $285,000 / $15 = 19,000 customers
cash sales = $285,000 x 20% = $57,000credit cards = $285,000 x 60% = $171,000debit cards = $285,000 x 20% = $57,000credit card fees = (11,400 x $0.60) + ($171,000 x 2%) = $10,260
debit card fees = (3,800 x $0.55) + ($57,000 x 1%) = $2,660
Assume you are planning to invest $5,000 each year for six years and will earn 10 percent per year. Determine the future value of this annuity if your first $5,000 is invested at the end of the first year. $38,470 $38,578 $34,578 $35,878
The future value of this annuity is $38,578.
Calculation of the future value of this annuity is as follows:
The Future Value of Annuity is
= Annuity × [{(1+rate of interest)^number of years -1} ÷ rate of interest]
= $5,000 × [{(1+0.10)^6 -1} ÷ 0.10]
= $5,000 × (1.771561 -1) ÷ 0.10
= $38,578.05
Therefore we can conclude that the future value of this annuity is $38,578.

If the poverty trap were made even more difficult to overcome because a working mother will have extra expenses like transportation and child care that a non-working mother will not face, then:_______.
a. she will have a powerful incentive to work more than job.
b. the family better off than if she did not work at all.
c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.
The question is incomplete:
If the poverty trap were made even more difficult to overcome because a working mother will have extra expenses like transportation and child care that a non-working mother will not face, then:_______.
a. she will have a powerful incentive to work more than one job.
b. the family better off than if she did not work at all.
c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.
d. The future is even more attractive.
Answer:
c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.
Explanation:
The poverty trap is a situation in which having more income results on losing benefits. In this case, the poverty trap is more difficult to overcome because a working mother will have a salary but this results on her having additional expenses that she would not have if she was not working and this decreases the benefits she gets by having a job. Because of that, the answer is that her economic grains from working will be even smaller.
The other options are not right because she won't have an incentive to work more than one job because that would increase expenses like child care, the family won't be better as a result of the additional expenses and because of that, the future won't be more attractive.
Answer:
c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.
Explanation:
In economics, the poverty trap refers to certain circumstances that make it very difficult for a poor person to become middle or upper class, or increase their income even if they continue to fall under the poverty line.
Imagine a situation where you work for a very low salary, and besides that, you must spend a large portion of your salary paying for transportation and childcare costs. The gains resulting from your work will decrease compared to a situation where you worked in a business that was located at a walking distance and childcare services were provided for free. The economic equation is simple, the higher the costs, the less the profit.
Calculate gross profit ratio and cost of goods sold Refer to the consolidated statements of earnings in the Campbell Soup Company annual report in the appendix.
Required:
a. Calculate the gross profit ratio for each of the past three years.
b. Assume that Campbell's net sales for the first four months of 2015 totaled 527 billion. Calculate an estimated cost of goods sold and gross profit for the four months.
Answer:
gross profit ratio = (total revenue - cost of goods sold) / total revenue
I looked for the missing information:
year total sales cost of goods sold
2012 $7,175 $4,365
2013 $8,052 $5,140
2014 $8,268 $5,370
a)
gross profit ratio:
2012 = ($7,175 - $4,365) / $7,175 = 39.16%
2013 = ($8,052 - $5,140) / $8,052 = 36.16%
2014 = ($8,268 - $5,370) / $8,268 = 35.05%
b)
since the gross profit margin ratio is decreasing every year, we can assume that it will keep decreasing in 2015. Using linear regression, the slope is -0.02055. So the estimated gross profit margin ratio for 2015 = 34.33%
estimated cogs (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x (1 - 34.33%) = $346.08 billion
estimated gross profit (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x 34.33% = $180.92 billion

Explanation:
In Year 1 Jorge buys a home for $200,000, making a down payment of $40,000 and taking out a loan from the bank for $160,000 to finance the balance. In Year 5 the remaining loan balance is $130,000 while the home has increased in value to $270,000. Jorge refinances with a loan company that agrees to lend 125% of the value of the home, or $337,500, using $130,000 to repay the bank loan and providing $207,500 in cash. Jorge immediately spends $10,000 of the cash on a lavish vacation to the Bahamas, and $20,000 to pay down credit cards.
How much of the $337,500 home equity loan balance is allowable for calculating the home mortgage interest deduction on Jorge’s Year 5 tax return?
a. $270,000
b. $240,000
c. $230,000
d. $220,000
Answer:
Under current tax law, no option is correct. Before 2018, option C would have been right.
Explanation:
Currently under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (from Jan. 2018 until Dec. 2025) you can only deduct interests on mortgages used to purchase, build or improve your home. In this case, Jorge will only be able to deduct the interests paid on the $130,000 he owed for the first mortgage.
Interests on home equity loans will again be deductible (up to $100,000) starting Jan. 2026.

A company's gross profit (or gross margin) was $129,650 and its net sales were $502,900. Its gross margin ratio is
Answer:
25.8%
Explanation:
A company gross profit is $129,650
The net sales is $502,900
Therefore, the gross margin ratio can be calculated as follows
Gross margin ratio= gross margin /net sales
= $129,650/$502,900
= 0.258×100
= 25.8%
Hence the gross margin ratio is 25.8%
A subcontractor is responsible for outfitting six satellites that will be used for solar research. Four of the six have been completed in a total of 600 hours. If the crew has a 75% learning curve, how long should it take them to finish the last two units?
Answer: ∑Tₓ = 201.222
time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes
Explanation:
Given that,
total time required to four units is 600 hours,
Learning curve applied is 75% and from the learning curve coefficient table, total time factor to complete four units at 75% learning curve is 2.946
so
∑Tₙ = T₁ × total time factor
{ ∑Tₙ is total time required to complete all the units which is 600 hrs, T₁ is Time for first unit, total time factor = 2.946 }
we substitute
∑T₄ = ∑T₁ × total time factor
600 = ∑T₁ × 2.946
∑T₁ = 600/2.946
∑T₁ = 203.666 minutes
Now to get the total time required to complete 6 units, we say:
∑T₆ = ∑T₁ × total time factor
Note that total time factor at this point changes;
( from the learning curve coefficient table, total time factor to complete 6 units at 75% learning curve is 3.934)
so we substitute
∑T₆ = 203.666 × 3.934
∑T₆ = 801.222
Now to find how long should it take them to finish the last two units, we say
∑Tₓ = ∑T₆ - ∑T₄
∑Tₓ = 801.222 - 600
∑Tₓ = 201.222
Therefore time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes
The time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes
Given data
Total time required to four units is 600 hours
Learning curve applied is 75% and 75% learning curve is 2.946
∑Tₙ = T₁ × total time factor
{ ∑Tₙ is total time required to complete all the units which is 600 hrs, T₁ is Time for first unit, total time factor = 2.946 }
we substitute
∑T₄ = ∑T₁ × total time factor
600 = ∑T₁ × 2.946
∑T₁ = 600/2.946
∑T₁ = 203.666 minutes
Now to get the total time required to complete 6 units, we say:
∑T₆ = ∑T₁ × total time factor
so we substitute
∑T₆ = 203.666 × 3.934
∑T₆ = 801.222
Now, we will find how long should it take them to finish the last two units
∑Tₓ = ∑T₆ - ∑T₄
∑Tₓ = 801.222 - 600
∑Tₓ = 201.222
In conclusion, the time required to complete the last two units is 201.222 minutes

The ____________________ problem is the main source of market failure in the provision of nonexcludable public goods.
Answer: Free Rider
Explanation:
Non-excludable goods refers to public goods that are free to the public to use such goods and therefore there is no restriction to the consumption of non-excludable goods because every single individual has the right to access and consume it For example, Public parks, roads, and public infrastructures.
A non excludable good can overtime have a negative result in a community, because such good need to be constantly maintained so as to continue to be beneficial and therefore may require small token of fair share among its consumers but there would always be some individuals who are referred to as Free Riders who would rather use the good without paying for it and in the long run cause the good to not be adequate for all or difficult to be maintained at its best resulting to failure in the provision of the non excludable public goods.
the free rider problem can be solved by
1. Government's intervention to subsidize the public good through fair distribution of tax, using the pay as you earn method .
2. Overused non excludable good can be privatized, ensuring that people who consume it, contribute to ts maintenance.
In answering the question "Which customers are most likely to click on my online ads and purchase my goods?" you are most likely to use which of the following analytic applications?A) customer profitabilityB) propensity to buyC) customer attritionD) channel optimization
Answer:
B) Propensity to buy.
Explanation:
In answering the question "Which customers are most likely to click on my online ads and purchase my goods?" you are most likely to use the propensity to buy.
Propensity to buy in marketing is a predictive model, which is used to measure or determine the chances of a customer being willing to buy a particular product.
In this scenario, to determine the likelihood of a customer clicking on an online advert and purchasing a seller's goods, after visiting a website or receiving promotional information about, it is ideal to use the propensity to buy analytic approach.
You must decide between $25,000 in cash today or $30,000 in cash to be received two years from now. If you can earn 8 percent interest on your investments, which is the better deal?
Answer:
The deal to receive $30000 is better.
Explanation:
To find the better deal we need to calculate the present value of $30000 and then compare it with the amount $25000. If the amount is greater than the $25000, then the amount should be received after the 2 years.
The given time period (n )= 2
Interest rate (r ) = 8%
The amount received after 2 years = $30000
[tex]\text{Present value of money} = \frac{Future \ value}{(1 + r)^n } \\= \frac{30000}{(1+0.08)^2} \\= $25720.16[/tex]
Since the amount is more than $25000 so the deal to receive the money after 2 years will be better.
Using the information below for Laurels Company; determine the cost of goods manufactured during the current year: Direct materials used $6,100 Direct Labor 8,100 Total Factory overhead 6,200 Beginning work in process 4,100 Ending work in process 6,200a. $19,700b. $16,900c. $18,300d. $12,800e. $14,800
Answer:
c. $18,300
Explanation:
The computation of cost of goods manufactured during the current year is shown below:-
Cost of goods manufactured during the current year = Direct material + Direct labor + Total factory overhead + Beginning Work in progress - Ending work in progress
= $6,100 + $8,100 + $6,200 + $4,100 - $6,200
= $24,500 - $6,200
= $18,300
Hence, the correct option is c. $18,300
You are considering two mutually exclusive projects with the following cash flows. Which project(s) should you accept if the discount rate is 8.5 percent? What if the discount rate is 13 percent?Year 0 1 2 3Project A -80,000 31,000 31,000 31,000Project B -80,000 0 0 110,000
Answer:
NPV Project A = - $825.31
NPV Project B = $6119.89
So, at a discount rate of 8.5%, Project B should be accepted.
NPV Project A = - $6804
Npv Project B = - $3764.48
So, at a discount rate of 13%, neither of the projects should be accepted.
Explanation:
One of the methods to evaluate a project is to determine the NPV or Net Present Value from the project. If a project provides a positive NPV after discounting the cash flows from the project at a set discount rate, the project should be accepted. If the project gives a negative NPV, the project should be discarded.
The NPV is calculated as follows,
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial cost
Where,
CF1, CF2, ... represents the cash flows in year 1 and year 2 and so onr is the discount rateAt 8.5% discount rate
NPV Project A = 31000/(1+0.085) + 31000/(1+0.085)^2 + 31000/(1+0.085)^3 - 80000
NPV Project A = - $825.31
NPV Project B = 110000 / (1+0.085)^3 - 80000
NPV Project B = $6119.89
So, at a discount rate of 8.5%, Project B should be accepted.
At 13% discount rate
NPV Project A = 31000/(1+0.13) + 31000/(1+0.13)^2 + 31000/(1+0.13)^3 - 80000
NPV Project A = - $6804
NPV Project B = 110000 / (1+0.13)^3 - 80000
Npv Project B = - $3764.48
So, at a discount rate of 13%, neither of the projects should be accepted.

It shows what similar homes in the area have recently sold for It shows the list prices of similar homes in the area It’s a guide to the minimum acceptable offer It discloses issues with the home that are known to the seller
Answer:
It shows what similar homes in the area have recently sold for.
Explanation:
Answer:
The statement "It shows the same types of homes in the area that are presently sold" is considered to be the best description for the comparative market analysis.
Explanation:
A comparative market analysis is a tool that is used by the real estate agent in order to remove the value of the particular property via evaluation of the same types of homes that could be presently sold in a similar area.
For finding the best description regarding the comparative market analysis, we need to determine the following information:
It does not show the list prices of the same types of homes in the area.It does not guide for a minimum acceptable offer.Also, it does not disclose the issues for the income that are aware to the seller.Therefore we can conclude that the first statement is correct

Earning per share = Net Income / Numbers of Outstanding shares
Earning per share = $502,000 / ($5,500,000/$25)
Earning per share = $502,000 / 220,000 = $2.28
b. the price-earnings ratio
Price earning ratio determines the impact of net income on market value of the share.
Price earning Ratio = Market Pice of stock / Earning per share
Price earning Ratio = $13.60 / $2.28
Price earning Ratio = 5.96
c. the dividends per share
Dividend per share is the value of dividend paid to each outstanding common share.
Dividend per share = Dividend declared / Numbers of outstanding shares
Dividend per share = $55,000 / 220,000 shares
Dividend per share = $0.25 per share
d. the dividend yield.
Dividend yield is the ratio of dividend per share and Market price per share.
Dividend Yield = Dividend Per share / Market price per share
Dividend Yield = $0.25 / $13.60 = 0.0184 = 1.84%
Here I Sit Sofas has 5,800 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $81 per share. There are 630 bonds that mature in 17 years with a coupon rate of 5.5 percent paid semiannually. The bonds have a par value of $1,000 each and sell at 93 percent of par. The company also has 4,700 shares of preferred stock outstanding at a price of $34 per share. What is the capital structure weight of the debt?
Answer:
0.4820
Explanation:
The computation of the weight of debt is shown below:
= Debt value ÷ Total capital structure
where,
Debt value is
= 630 bonds × $1,000 × 0.93
= $585,900
And, the total capital structure is
= Debt value + common stock + preferred stock
= $585,900 + 5,800 shares × $81 + 4,700 shares × $34
= $1,215,500
So, the weight of debt is
= $585,900 ÷ $1,215,500
= 0.4820
In 2017, Lippart & Sons, a small environmental-testing firm, performed 11,000 radon tests for $330 each and 15,000 lead tests for $240 each. Because newer homes are being built with lead-free pipes, lead-testing volume is expected to decrease by 15% next year. However, awareness of radon-related health hazards is expected to result in a 7% increase in radon-test volume each year in the near future. Jim Lippart feels that if he lowers his price for lead testing to $220 per test, he will have to face only a 4% decline in lead-test sales in 2018.Required:a.

The XYZ Corporation pays no cash dividends currently and is not expected to for the next five years. Its latest EPS was $18.00, all of which was reinvested in the company. The firm’s expected ROE for the next five years is 16% per year, and during this time it is expected to continue to reinvest all of its earnings. Starting in year 6, the firm’s ROE on new investments is expected to fall to 11%, and the company is expected to start paying out 30% of its earnings in cash dividends, which it will continue to do forever after. DEQS’s market capitalization rate is 24% per year. a. What is your estimate of XYZ’s intrinsic value per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
current intrinsic value per stock = $26.35
Explanation:
year dividend EPS
0 0 $18
1 0 $20.88
2 0 $24.22
3 0 $28.10
4 0 $32.59
5 0 $37.81
6 $12.59 $41.97
growth rate up to year 5 = 16%
ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 11%
dividend growth rate starting year 6 = 11% x (1 - 30%) = 7.7%
cost of equity = 24%
horizon value at year 5 = $12.59 / (24% - 7.7%) = $77.24
current intrinsic value per stock = $77.24 / 1.24%⁵ = $26.35
