Sentence-level Writinga. Dangling Modifier:
1.
Dangling Modifier: When beginning the meeting
Best Revision: 2. When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off
2.
Dangling Modifier : taking the train into Boston
Best Revision: Taking the train into Boston, Katie reviewed the meeting minutes.
b. Identifying the dependent clauses:
1. Unless he responds to my request in the next 24 hours
3. When he opened the e-mail message
c. Identifying the independent clauses:
2. Meanwhile, the executive assistant printed the agenda.
d. Identifying the sentence with the correct parallel structure:
1. The systems analyst found that we needed to upgrade our equipment, revise our backup process, and implement better security measures.
e. Best option to complete the sentence:
If you _________, you will do well in this corporation.
1. write well, speak well, and use good interpersonal skills
Explanation:
a. A phrase or clause that is not directly related to the word or words it modifies is called a dangling modifier. Usually, the word a dangling modifier modifies may be absent from the sentence. An example is "when beginning the meeting." The word it modifies may be "we" as in "When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off."
b. A clause which cannot make a complete sense or sentence is called a dependent clause. It requires another clause to make a complete sense. The clause that makes a complete a complete sentence and can stand alone without another clause is an independent clause.
c. A sentence that has grammatical structure which is balanced is said to have parallelism. This can also be called parallel structure or construction. This means that the items listed follow similar pattern that rhyme with one another. Let us revise the sentence with the wrong parallel structure in this case so as to make it become a parallelism: "The systems analyst found that we needed upgraded equipment, revised backup processes, and better implemented security measures." By this revision, the wrong parallel sentence now has a well-structured parallelism.
A dangling modifier is a phrase or sentence that has no direct connection to the word or words it modifies. The correct options for the dangling modifier are When beginning the meeting and taking the train into Boston, and the correct options for the independent clause are Unless he responds to my request in the next 24 hours, and When he opened the e-mail message.
1.
Dangling Modifier: When beginning the meeting
Best Revision: 2. When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off
2.
Dangling Modifier: taking the train into Boston
Best Revision: Taking the train into Boston, Katie reviewed the meeting minutes.
b. Identifying the dependent clauses:
1. Unless he responds to my request in the next 24 hours
3. When he opened the e-mail message.
The term that a dangling modifier usually modifies may not even be present in the phrase. An illustration might be "when the meeting starts." The word it modifies can be "we," as in "The fire alarm went off as we were starting the meeting."
A dependent clause is a clause that cannot be used to finish a sentence or make sense on its own. For it to make sense, another sentence is necessary. An independent clause is one that can stand alone without the help of another clause and completes a complete sentence.

Required:
Compute the following financial ratios for 2016 and 2017.
Answer:
Answers are calculated below
Explanation:
Financial ratios can be calculated according to their formulas. Both formulas and calculation are as follows
CURRENT RATIO
Current ratio = Current assets/current liabilities
Current ratio (2016) = $360,000/$250,000
Current ratio (2016) = 1.44
Current ratio (2017) = $450,000 / $300,000
Current ratio (2017) = 1.50
ACID RATIO
Acid ratio = (Current asset - inventory)/current liabilities
Acid ratio (2016) = (360,000 - 165,000)/250,000
Acid ratio (2016) = 0.78
Acid ratio (2017) = (450,000-225,000)/300,000
Acid ratio (2017) = 225,000/300,000
Acid ratio (2017) = 0.75
INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO
Inventory turnover ratio = cost of good Sold / Average inventory
Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 864,000/(360,000 ÷2)
Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 864,000/180,000
Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 4.80
Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / ( 390,000 ÷ 2)
Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / 195,000
Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 5.25
DAYS SALE IN RECEIVABLE
Days sale in receivable = 365/Average receivable turnover ratio
Days sale in receivable (2016) = 365/ 12.67(w1)
Days sale in receivable (2016) = 28.81 days
Days sale in receivable (2017) =365/11.7(w1)
Days sale in receivable (2017) = 31.20 days
Working 1
Account receivable turnover ratio = Sales/ Average receivable
Account receivable turnover ratio (2016) = 1,752,000/138,288(w2)
Account receivable turnover ratio = 12.67 times
Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 1,642,500/140,351(w2)
Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 11.7 times
Working 2
Average receivable = (Opening + Closing) /2
Average receivable (2016) = (132,000 + 144,576) /2
Average receivable (2016) = 138,288
Average receivable (2017) = (144,576 +136,125 ) /2
Average receivable (2017) = 140,351
Compute the companywide break-even point in dollar sales. 2. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the East region. 3. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the West region. 4. Prepare a new segmented income statement based on the break-even dollar sales that you computed in requirements 2 and 3. Use the same format as shown above. What is Crossfire’s net operating income (loss) in your new segmented income statement? 5. Do you think that Crossfire should allocate its common fixed expenses to the East and West regions when computing the break-even points for each region?
Complete Question:
Crossfire Company segments its business into two regions - East and West. The company prepared a contribution format segmented income statement as shown below:
Total Company East West
Sales $900,000 $600,000 $300,000
Variable Expenses 675,000 480,000 195,000
Contribution margin 225,000 120,000 105,000
Traceable Fixed Expenses 141,000 50,000 91,000
Segment Margin $84,000 $70,000 $14,000
Common Fixed Expenses 59,000
Net Operating Income $25,000
Instructions: (As given).
Answer:
Crossfire Company1. Computation of the companywide break-even point in dollar sales:
Break-even point in dollar sales
= Sales = Total costs
Sales = $816,000
Total costs = Variable costs + Traceable fixed costs
= $675,000 + $141,000
= $816,000
2. Computation of the break-even point in dollar sales for the East region:
Break-even point in dollar sales
= Sales = Total costs
= $530,000
Total costs = $530,000 ($480,000 + 50,000)
3. Computation of the break-even point in dollar sales for the West region:
Break-even point in dollar sales
= Sales = Total costs
= $286,000
Total costs = $286,000 ($195,000 + 91,000)
4. A new segmented income statement based on the break-even dollar sales that are computed in requirements 2 and 3:
Total Company East West
Sales $816,000 $530,000 $286,000
Variable Expenses 675,000 480,000 195,000
Contribution margin 141,000 50,000 105,000
Traceable Fixed Expenses 141,000 50,000 91,000
Segment Margin $0 $0 $0
Common Fixed Expenses 59,000
Net Operating Income/(loss) ($59,000)
Crossfire's net operating income (loss) in the new segmented income statement is: $59,000
5. I think that Crossfire should allocate the common fixed expenses to the East and West regions when computing the break-even points for each region.
This ensures that Crossfire does not run into net operating loss, company-wide. The segmented sales revenues for the regions can be used to allocate the common fixed expenses. Other suitable bases are traceable fixed expense, number of sales and administrative staff, or activity cost pools, using activity-based costing technique.
Explanation:
a) Break-even point in sales dollars is the sales point at which Crossfire's sales revenue will be equal to the total costs. At this point, Crossfire will not make any profit or incur any loss.
Calculating the Direct Labor Rate Variance and the Direct Labor Efficiency Variance
Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company is a service company that offers oil changes and lubrication for automobiles and light trucks. On average, Guillermo has found that a typical oil change takes 18 minutes and 6.2 quarts of oil are used. In June, Guillermo's Oil and Lube had 990 oil changes.
Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company provided the following information for the production of oil changes during the month of June:
Actual number of oil changes performed: 990
Actual number of direct labor hours worked: 291 hours
Actual rate paid per direct labor hour: $16.00
Standard rate per direct labor hour: $15.00
Required:
a. Calculate the direct labor rate variance (LRV) and the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) for June using the formula approach.
b. Calculate the direct labor rate variance (LRV) and the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) for June.
c. Calculate the total direct labor variance for oil changes for June.
d. What if the actual wage rate paid in June was $14.00? What impact would that have had on the direct labor rate variance (LRV)? On the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV)? Indicate what the new variances would be below. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.
Answer:
Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company
Calculating the Direct Labor Rate Variance and the Direct Labor Efficiency Variance
a1. Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Labor Rate minus Standard Labor Rate multiplied by Actual hours worked
= $16 - $15 x 291
= $291 U
a2. Direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) = Standard hours minus Actual hours x Standard hourly rate
= 297 - 291 x $15
= $90 F
b1. Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = the difference between the actual wages paid and the standard wages
= (Actual labour rate x actual hours) - (standard rate x actual hours)
= ($16 x 291) - ($15 x 291)
= $4,656 - $4,365
= $291 U
b2. Direct labor efficiency variance = the difference between the actual number of direct labor hours worked and budgeted direct labor hours that should have been worked based on the standards
(291 x $15) - (297 x $15)
4,365 - 4,455
= $90 F
c. Total Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Wages minus Standard Wages
= (Actual labor rate x Actual hours) - (Standard labor rate x Standard hours)
= ($16 x 291) - ($15 x 297)
= $4,656 - $4,455
= $201 U
d. If actual wage rate paid in June was $14.00:
d1. Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Labor Rate minus Standard Labor Rate multiplied by Actual hours worked
= $14 - $15 x 291
= $291 F
d2. Direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) = Standard hours minus Actual hours x Standard hourly rate
= 297 - 291 x $15
= $90 F
d3. Total Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Wages minus Standard Wages
= (Actual labor rate x Actual hours) - (Standard labor rate x Standard hours)
= ($14 x 291) - ($15 x 297)
= $4,074 - $4,455
= $381 F
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations
Actual number of oil changes performed: 990
Standard number of direct labor hours to for 990 oil changes = 990 x 0.3 hours (since 18 minutes = 0.3 hours or 18/60) = 297 hours
Actual number of direct labor hours worked: 291 hours
Actual rate paid per direct labor hour: $16.00
Standard rate per direct labor hour: $15.00
b) The impact on direct labor rate variance if the actual wage rate paid in June was $14 was to turn the unfavorable labor rate variance into a favorable variance of $291 and the total direct labor variance would have been a favorable variance $381 instead of an unfavorable variance of $201.
Galactic Inc. is considering an investment in new equipment that will be used to manufacture a smartphone. The phone is expected to generate additional annual sales of 4,500 units at $212 per unit. The equipment has a cost of $418,500, residual value of $31,500, and an eight-year life. The equipment can only be used to manufacture the phone. The cost to manufacture the phone follows: Cost per unit: Direct labor $36.00 Direct materials 140.00 Factory overhead (including depreciation) 24.00 Total cost per unit $200.00 Determine the average rate of return on the equipment. If required, round to the nearest whole percent. 18 %
Answer:
24%
Explanation:
The computation of the average rate of return is shown below;
As we know that
The Average rate of return = Net income ÷ Average investment
where,
Net income is
= (Selling price per unit - totat cost per unit) × additional units sales
= ($212 - $200) × $4,500 units
= $54,000
And, the average investment is
= (cost price + equipment) ÷ 2
= ($418,500 + $31,500) ÷ 2
= $225,000
So, the average rate of return is
= $54,000 ÷ $225,000 × 100
= 24%
Answer:
Galactic Inc.
Average Rate of Return: = Annual Net Income/Average Investment cost
= $54,000/$225,000 x 100
= 24%
Explanation:
Galactic Inc. Income Statement:
Sales Revenue, 4,500 x $212 = $954,000
Cost, 4,500 x $200 = 900,000
Annual Net Income = $54,000
Average Investment in equipment = $225,000 ($418,500 + 31,500)/2
b) Galactic Inc.'s average rate of return (ARR) on the equipment is average (annual) net income that the equipment generates divided by the average cost of the investment, and then multiplied by 100. The average cost of the investment equals the (initial book value + the residual value)/2. The ARR also known as the Accounting Rate of Return does not take into consideration the time value of money. As such, the net income is not discounted to the present value before the computation of the ratio.

Calculation of the average rate of return for this investment
Average rate of return (ARR) is a financial ratio that is used to determine the rate of return that is expected from an asset over its lifetime. ARR is calculated as the total income from the assets divided by the initial investment on the assets.
The average rate of return for this investment can be calculated as follows:
Total income form operations over five years = $100,000 + $40,000 + $40,000 $ $10,000 + $10,000 = $200,000
Average income = Total income form operations over five years / Number of years = $200,000 / 5 = $40,000
Average rate of return for this investment = Average income / Cost of Machine = $40,000 / $490,000 = 0.08, or 8%
Therefore, the average rate of return is 8%.
Hunt Inc. intends to invest in one of two competing types of computer-aided manufacturing equipment: CAM X and CAM Y. Both CAM X and CAM Y models have a project life of 10 years. The purchase price of the CAM X model is $3,600,000, and it has a net annual after-tax cash inflow of $900,000. The CAM Y model is more expensive, selling for $4,200,000, but it will produce a net annual after-tax cash inflow of $1,050,000. The cost of capital for the company is 10%.
Required:
Calculate the NPV for each project.
Answer:
NPV of CAM X = $1,930,110.40
NPV of CAM Y = $2,251,795.46
Explanation:
The NPV for each project can be calculated using the following steps:
Step 1: Calculation of present value (PV) for each project
The PV for each project can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV of a project = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)
Where;
For CAM X
P = Net annual after-tax cash inflow = $900,000
r = Cost of capital or interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of project life = 10
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV of CAM X = $900,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.10)]^10} / 0.10]
PV of CAM X = $900,000 * 6.14456710570468
PV of CAM X = $5,530,110.40
For CAM Y
P = Net annual after-tax cash inflow = $1,050,000
r = Cost of capital or interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of project life = 10
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV of CAM Y = $1,050,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.10)]^10} / 0.10]
PV of CAM Y = $1,050,000 * 6.14456710570468
PV of CAM Y = $6,451,795.46
Step 2: Calculation of net present value (NPV) for each project
The NPV for each project can be calculated using the following formula:
NPV of each project = PV of each equipment - Purchase price of each equipment ........ (2)
Using equation (2), we have:
NPV of CAM X = PV of CAM X - Purchase price of CAM X = $5,530,110.40 - $3,600,000 = $1,930,110.40
NPV of CAM Y = PV of CAM Y - Purchase price of CAM Y = $6,451,795.46 - $4,200,000 = $2,251,795.46
Additional Note:
Although this not part of the requirement of the question, but note that the final decision is that since the positive NPV of $2,251,795.46 for CAM Y is gereater than the positive NPV of $1,930,110.40 for CAM X, Hunt Inc. will choose to invest in CAM Y.
Suppose an item sells for $125 in the United States and for 62,500 pesos in Chile. According to the law of one price, the nominal exchange rate (pesos/dollar) should be ________.
Answer:
$1 = 500 Pesos
1 Pesos = $0.002
Explanation:
$125 = 62,500 Pesos
$1 = 62,500 / 125
$1 = 500 Pesos
$1 = 500 Pesos
1 Pesos = $1 / 500
1 Pesos = $0.002

You bought a painting 7 years ago as an investment. You originally paid $145,000 for it. If you sold it for $307,000, what is your annual return on the investment
Answer:
11.3%
Explanation:
In this scenario a painting was bought at present value of $145,000 and sold at future value of $307,000. The time is 7 years in the future.
Return on investment is the gain on original cost of a project. A positive return on investment will result in profit of the project.
To calculate annual rate we use the following formula
Present value = Future value (1 + rate) ^ -number of years
145,000 = 307,000 {(1+r) ^ -7}
145,000/307,000 = (1+r) ^-7
0.4723 = (1 + r) ^ -7
1.113 = 1+ r

York's outstanding stock consists of 80,000 shares of noncumulative 7.5% preferred stock with a $5 par value and also 200,000 shares of common stock with a $1 par value. During its first four years of operation, the corporation declared and paid the following total cash dividends: 2015 total cash dividends $20,000 ; 2016 total cash dividends 28,000 ; 2017 total cash dividends 200,000 ; 2018 total cash dividends 350,000. Please explain how to journal this.
Answer:
dividends paid during 2015:
preferred stock dividends = $20,000, dividend per preferred stock = $0.25
common stock dividends = $0, dividend per common stock = $0
dividends paid during 2016:
preferred stock dividends = $28,000, dividend per preferred stock = $0.35
common stock dividends = $0, dividend per common stock = $0
dividends paid during 2017:
preferred stock dividends = $30,000, dividend per preferred stock = $0.375
common stock dividends = $170,000, dividend per common stock = $0.85
dividends paid during 2018:
preferred stock dividends = $30,000, dividend per preferred stock = $0.375
common stock dividends = $320,000, dividend per common stock = $1.60
Since the preferred stocks are not cumulative, any preferred dividends that are not paid during a year will not be paid in future years.
A $10,000 municipal bond with 10 years to maturity is purchased in the primary market at 105. The bond is sold after 2 years at 105. The taxable gain or loss is a:
Answer: B. a 2 point capital gain
Explanation:
Municipal Bonds have to be amortized using the straight-line method and this applied to both newly issued or bonds being traded at a premium.
The bond in question is trading at 105 and so has a 5 point premium which needs to be amortized at 1 point a year for 5 years. As it was bought after two years, the amortization was 2 points which means the cost of the bond should be;
105 - 2 = 103
Yet it was sold for 105. The gain is therefore
= 105 - 103
= 2 point capital gain
"If Jason receives his quarterly bonus of $3,000 and spends $2,100 on a computer and puts the rest in his savings account, what is Jason’s MPC and MPS?"
Answer: 0.70; 0.30
Explanation:
Marginal propensity to consume(MPC) is the additional spending by an economic agent due to a rise in income while the marginal propensity to save is the additional saving by someone due to rise in income.
Increase in income = $3,000
Increase in spending = $2,100
Increase in savings = $3,000 - $2,100 = $900
MPC = $2,100/$3,000
= 0.70
MPS = $900/$3,000
= 0.30
The bond has a 12% annual coupon rate, a $1,000 par value, it matures in 15 years and pays coupon quarterly. The current bond price is $900. What is the bond’s annual yield? A. 14.28% B. None of the answers is correct C. 13.60% D. 12.85%
Answer:
A. 14.28%
Explanation:
As per Approximation formula,
Quarterly yield = (A + B / C) * 100
A = Quarterly coupon = 12% of 1,000 / 4 =30
B = (Redemption - Price value / Number of coupon) = (1,000 - 900) / (15 * 4)
= 1.667
C= (Redemption value + Price / 2) = 1,000 + 900 / 2 = 1,900 /2 = 950
Quarterly yield = 30 + 1.66667 / 950 = 31.6667 / 950 = 0.03333
Quarterly yield = 3.33%
Using the calculator, we get exact Ytm quarterly = 3.3925%
Effective amount yield = {(1 + 0.033925)^4 - 1} * 100
Effective amount yield = 0.142762 * 100
Effective amount yield = 14.2762%
Effective amount yield = 14.28%

The company is now in the process of preparing a production budget for the second quarter. Past experience has shown that end-of-month inventory levels must equal 15% of the following month’s sales. The inventory at the end of March was 10,500 units.
Required:
Prepare a production budget for the second quarter; in your budget, show the number of units to be produced each month and for the quarter in total.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales in Units
April 70,000
May 85,000
June 110,000
July 90,000
Desired ending inventory= 15% of the following month’s sales.
The inventory at the end of March was 10,500 units.
To calculate the production required for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
April:
Sales= 70,000
Desired ending inventory= 85,000*0.15= 12,750
Beginning inventory= (10,500)
Total production= 72,250
May:
Sales= 85,000
Desired ending inventory= 110,000*0.15= 16,500
Beginning inventory= (12,750)
Total production= 88,750
June:
Sales= 110,000
Desired ending inventory= 90,000*0.15= 13,500
Beginning inventory= (16,500)
Total production= 107,000
Total quarter= 268,000
Gross Corporation adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation on Dec 31, 2016. Its inventory at that date was $1,100,000 and the relevant price index was 100. Information regarding inventory for subsequent years is as follows:
Date Inventory at Current Prices Current Price Index
December 31, 2017 $1,284,000 107
December 31, 2018 $1,450,000 125
Deceber 31, 2019 $1,625,500 130
1. What is the cost of ending inventory December 31, 2017 under Dollar-value LIFO method?
2. What is the cost of ending inventory December 31, 2018 under Dollar-value LIFO method?
3. What is the cost of ending inventory December 31, 2019 under Dollar-value LIFO method?
Answer:
1. $1,207,000
2. $1,164,200
3. $1,281,701
Explanation:
To calculate ending inventory under the dollar value LIFO method, the steps below shall be followed.
Step 1
Y = Current price at year end / Price index at that time
Step 2
Ending inventory = Opening inventory value + ( Y - Opening inventory value ) × Index value.
Gross corporation
Ending inventory
2016 1,100,000
1. Cost of ending inventory at 31, December 2017, under dollar value LIFO
= 1,284,000 / 1.07
= $1,200,000
Ending inventory
= $1,100,000 + ( $1,100,000 - $100,000 ) × 1.07
= $1,207,000
2. Cost of ending inventory at 31, December 2018, under dollar value LIFO
= $1,450,000/1.25
= $1,160,000
Ending inventory
= $1,100,000 + ( $1,160,000 - $1,100,000) × 1.07
= $1,164,200
3. Cost of ending inventory at 31, December 2019, under dollar value LIFO
= $1,625,500/1.30
= $1,250,385
Ending inventory
= $1,164,200 + $90,385 × 1.30
= $1,281,701

MV Corporation has debt with market value of million, common equity with a book value of million, and preferred stock worth million outstanding. Its common equity trades at per share, and the firm has million shares outstanding. What weights should MV Corporation use in its WACC?
Answer:
The Weighted Average cost of capital measures the cost to the company of its current capital structure by using the weights of the various capital measures. WACC usually uses market values so;
Total amount = Debt + Preferred stock + common equity
= 100 million + 20 million + ( 50 * 6 million)
= $420 million
Proportions.
Debt
= 100/420
= 24%
Preferred Stock
= 20/420
= 5%
Common Equity
= 300/420
= 71%
A three-year annuity-immediate will be issued a year from now with annual payments of 5,000. Using the forward rates, calculate the present value of this annuity a year from now.
Answer:
13,152.5
Explanation:
Given the the above parameters as mentioned in the question
To calculate the PV (Present Value)
We have PV = 5000 * 1.05 * [ 1/(1.0575)² + 1/(0.625)³ + 1/(1.065)⁴]
PV = 5000 * 1.05 * (0.8942094350 + 0.8337064929 + 0.7773230908) =
=> PV = 5000 * 1.05 * 2.5052390187
= 13,152.50
Therefore, in this case, using the forward rates, the present value of this annuity a year from now is 13,152.50
Kenny, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park. The company bought some land six years ago for $7.9 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities elsewhere.

E Corporation produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 44,000 units per month is as follows:
Per Unit
Direct materials $44.60
Direct labor $8.50
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.50
Fixed manufacturing overhead $18.10
Variable selling & administrative expense $2.60
Fixed selling & administrative expense $12.00
The normal selling price of the product is $94.10 per unit. An order has been received from an overseas customer for 2,400 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $1.60 less per unit on this order than on normal sales.
Suppose there is ample idle capacity to produce the units required by the overseas customer and the special discounted price on the special order is $80.40 per unit. The monthly financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:_______
Answer:
financial advantage for accepting special order = $59,520
Explanation:
relevant production costs for special order (2,400 units):
direct materials $44.60
direct labor $8.50
variable manufacturing overhead $1.50
variable selling & administrative expense $1
total costs per unit = $55.60
total revenue from special order = 2,400 x $80.40 = $192,960
relevant costs associated to special order = 2,400 x $55.60 = ($133,440)
financial advantage for accepting special order = $59,520

You consider buying a share of stock at a price of $10. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.00 next year, and your advisory service tells you that you can expect to sell the stock in 1 year for $12. The stock's beta is 1.0, rf is 16%, and E[rm] = 26%. What is the stock's abnormal return? rev: 03_30_2019_QC_CS-164617 Multiple Choice 4% 10% 6% 0%
Answer: 4%
Explanation:
Abnormal returns are the excess actual returns received over the expected return.
The actual return can be calculated as;
= [tex]\frac{New Stock price + dividends - Old Stock Price}{Old stock price}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{12 - 10 + 1}{10}[/tex]
= 30%
The expected return according to CAPM;
Expected return = Risk free rate + beta( market return - risk free rate)
= 16% + 1 ( 26% - 16%)
= 26%
Abnormal return = 30% - 26%
= 4%
Tax Services prepares tax returns for senior citizens. The standard in terms of (direct labor) time spent on each return is hours. The direct labor standard wage rate at the firm is per hour. Last month, direct labor hours were used to prepare tax returns. Total wages were .
Answer:
Tax Services
Total wages were:
= hourly wage rate * total hours spent on returns for the month
For example, if the hourly wage rate is $50 and the total hours spent on the returns equal 560 hours, the total wages will be equal to $28,000 ($50 x 560).
Explanation:
The Tax Services' total wages will be equal to the hourly wage rate multiplied by the total hours spent on returns during the month. The total hours spent on the returns for the month is obtained by adding up the hours spent on all the returns. The total wages depend on the hours worked and the standard wage rate that has been established in the firm.
If the domino effect occurs as a result of changes in the money supply, what will most likely happen as an immediate result of interest rates being increased? Borrowing will decrease. Investing will decrease. Inflation will increase. Liquidity will increase.
Answer:
The answer is: interest rates will decrease
Explanation:
Just got correct on edge
If there is an increase in the interest rate, then borrowing will decrease.
The term "domino effect" refers to the cumulative effect that is produced by one event that eventually leads to the same effect on others. In other words, the domino effect is when one disaster affects or brings destruction or disruption to others, leading to similar events.
One result will lead to a chain reaction in this event, affecting the rest of the cycle. This means that like one domino's downfall brings the next domino down, one destruction will lead to the fall of the next, taking the cycle to the end until all falls. In this scenario, if the interest rates are being increased, then it will lead to a decreased rate of borrowing. A change in the money supply will increase the interest rate. This will only leave the customers looking for a way out, which means there will be a lower rate of borrowing.In a domino effect, one event will bring the fall of the other. Therefore, if the interest rates increase, there will only be more problems for the customers. This will leave them reducing or decreasing the borrowing rate in the market. Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
