Answer: 55.39%
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Tim purchased a bounce house one year ago for $6,500 and that during the year it generated $4,000 in cash flow and if he sells the bounce house today, he could receive $6,100 for it.
His rate of return will be:
= [($6100 + $4000) - $6500]/$6500 × 100
= ($10100 - $6500)/$6500 × 100
= $3600/$6500 × 100
= 0.5539 × 100
= 55.39%
eall Corporation has a standard cost system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours (MHs). The company has provided the following data for the most recent month: Budgeted level of activity 10,500 MHs Actual level of activity 10,600 MHs Standard variable manufacturing overhead rate $ 7.70 per MH Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 70,000 Actual total variable manufacturing overhead $ 71,600 Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 76,000 What was the fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance for the month
Answer:
$6,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
The fixed manufacturing overhead budget for the month is the difference between budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost minus actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost represented below;
Fixed manufacturing overhead budget = Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost - Actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost
= $70,000 - $76,000
= $6,000 unfavorable
It is unfavorable since the actual overhead cost expended is more than the budgeted cost.
Assuming the asset's salvage value is $3,700, Peavey Enterprises should recognize depreciation expense in Year 2 in the amount of:
Answer:
$6,700
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the year 2 using the straight line method is shown below:
Depreciation expense under Straight-line method would be
= (Purchase value of an assets - residual value) ÷ (estimated useful life)
= ($30,500 - $3,700) ÷ (4 years)
= $26,800 ÷ 4 years
= $6,700
In the straight-line method, the depreciation expense should be the same for the useful life

a) monopoly
b) undifferentiated oligopoly
c) perfect competition

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry.
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company

Your project sponsor has asked you to explain the negative or threat risk response strategies and the opportunity or positive risk response strategies for a project. How would you describe them to the sponsor
Answer: kindly check explanation
Explanation: Risk as related to a project may be reffered to as occurrences or factors which could affect a project, they may not always be negative as usually perceived, they may be positive. Hence, when a perceived negative risk is perceived, it is essential to escalate and ensure that the necessary stakeholders become aware so as to find ways of mitigating or avoiding such happening.

Answer:
It is safer for a company to issue equity than debt
It is riskier for an investor to buy equity in a company than debt in the same firm

Full question attached:
Answer attached
Answer and Explanation:
ES= earliest start time
LS=latest start time
EF= earliest finish time
LF= latest finish time
in calculating earliest start time, we look at predecessor to the task, for example c has a predecessor of A and so ES would be after A=3.in calculating our earliest start time and latest finish time we have used the forward pass and backward pass method respectively. The forward pass method uses the latest of the predecessors earliest finish in calculating ES while the backward pass method uses the earliest of the successors latest start(LS)in calculating latest finish(LF)
EF=ES+time
LS=LF-time
slack=LF-EF
The Critical path is ADEG identified by zero slacks
project duration is equal to duration of critical path equal to 15

Raising Bulls, Inc., has current assets of $5,100, net fixed assets of $23,800, current liabilities (payables and accruals) of $4,300, and long-term debt of $7,400. (1) What is the value of the total shareholders' equity account for this firm? (2) How much is net working capital?
Answer:
Total Shareholders’ Equity
Total Shareholders’ Equity = Total Assets − Total LiabilitiesTotal
Shareholders’ Equity = {(Current Assets + Net Fixed Assets) − (Current liabilities + Long term debt)}
Total Shareholders’ Equity = {($5,100 + $23,800) − ($4,300 + $7,400)}
Total Shareholders’ Equity = $28,900 − $11,700
Total Shareholders’ Equity = $17,200
Net-working capital?
Net-working Capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
Net-working Capital = Current assets - Current liabilities (payables and accruals)
Net-working Capital = $5,100 - $4,300
Net-working Capital = $800

Assume Baldwin Corp. is downsizing the size of their workforce by 15% (to the nearest person) next year from various strategic initiatives. Baldwin is planning to conduct exit interviews to learn more about how they can improve in processes and increase productivity. The exit interviews are estimated to cost $100 per employee in additional to normal separation costs of $5000. How much will the company pay in separation costs if these exit interviews are implemented next year? Select: 1Save Answer $2,616,300 $191,100 $464,100 $1,077,300
Answer: $362,100
Explanation:
I could not find your exact question's details but I believe this can act as a reference.
Baldwin has 473 employees (given as the Complement). They plan to downsize by 15% which means they plan to retrench;
= 473 * 15%
= 70.95
= 71 people
The cost of retrenching one person is;
= 100 + 5,000
= $5,100
For 71 employees;
= 5,100 * 71
= $362,100

Using payback to make capital investment decisions
Henry Co. is considering acquiring a manufacturing plant. The purchase price is $1,200,000. The owners believe the plant will generate net cash inflows of $325,000 annually. It will have to be replaced in six years. Use the payback method to determine whether Henry should purchase this plant. Round to one decimal place.
Answer: Henry should purchase this plant as it pays back in less than the 6 years it will have to be replaced in.
Payback period = 3.7 years
Explanation:
Payback period is a capital budgeting strategy that shows how long it will take for cash inflow to pay off the original investment.
The formula is;
= Year before payback + Cashflow remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of Payback
Year before payback
= 1,200,000/ 325,000
= 3.69
= 3 years
Cashflow remaining
= 1,2000,000 - (325,000 * 3)
= $225,000
= Year before payback + Cashflow remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of Payback
= 3 + 225,000/325,000
= 3.69
= 3.7 years
