Answer:
Explanation:
a.
The experiment under study from the article involves a single factor fertilizer type, at three levels.
Hence, this is a completely randomized design with p=3 treatments.
Assuming :
[tex]\mu_ 1 ; \mu_2 \ and \ \mu_3[/tex] are mean heights for three types of fertilizer. Therefore, the null and alternative hypotheses are:
Null hypothesis:
[tex]H_o : \mu_ 1 = \mu_2 \ = \ \mu_3[/tex] ( i.e all type of population mean heights for three different fertilizers f are equal )
Alternative hypothesis:
[tex]H_1 :\mu_ 1 \neq \mu_2 \ \neq \ \mu_3[/tex] ( at least one of the fertilizer is not equal )
b.
This is a completely randomized design as p=3 treatment means are compared, where treatments are randomly assigned to the experimental units.
c.
[tex]SSTr(df)=p-1 \\ \\ =3-1 \\ \\=2, \\ \\ df(SSE)=n-p \\ \\ =30-3 \\ \\ =27 \\ \\ MSTr=SSTr/df(SSTr) \\ \\=192.374/2 \\ \\ =96.187; MSE=SSE/df(SSE) \\ \\ =439.389/27 \\ \\ =16.2737 \\ \\ F=MSTr/MSE \\ \\ =96.187/16.2737 \\ \\ =5.91[/tex]
d.
[tex]SST=SSTr+SSE \\ \\ =192.374+439.389\\ \\ =631.763[/tex]
e.
Given that the p-value is 0.007 and F = 5.91
Also;
p-value 0.007 is less than the level of significance 0.05.
Thus ; we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is difference in mean of all types of the fertilizers.
Noncallable bonds that mature in 10 years were recently issued by Sternglass Inc. They have a par value of $1,000 and an annual coupon of 5.5%. If the current market interest rate is 7.0%, at what price should the bonds sell
Answer:
Price of Bond= $907.766
Explanation:
The price of the bond is the present value of its future cash flow discounted at the required rate of return of 5.5%.
Price of Bond = PV of interest payment +PV of redemption value
PV of interest payment:
interest payment = 5.5%× 1000= 55
PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r
A- 55, r - 7%, n- 10 years
PV = 55, r- 5.5%, n- 10
PV = 55× 1.07^(-10)/0.07= 399.417301
Present Value of redemption
PV = F× (1+r)^(-n)
F= 1000, r- 7%, n- 10 years
PV = 1,000× 1.07^(-10)= 508.3492921
Price of Bond = 508.3492921 + 399.417301= 907.7665931
Price of Bond= $907.766

Inventory records for Dunbar Incorporated revealed the following:Date Transaction Numberof Units UnitCost Apr. 1 Beginning inventory 550 $2.33 Apr. 20 Purchase 310 2.68 Dunbar sold 560 units of inventory during the month. Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost would be (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round weighted-average unit cost to four decimals if necessary. Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount):a. $737.b. $694.c. $817.d. $752.
Answer:
Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost would be $737
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Date Transaction Number of Units Unit Cost Total
Apr. 1 Beginning inventory 550 2.33 $1,281.5
Apr. 20 Purchase 310 2.68 $830.8
Total 860 $2,112.3
Therefore, Weighted avearge cost = $2,112.3/860= $2.4562
Ending inventory units = 860-560 = 300
Therefore, Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost=300*2.4562=$737
Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost would be $737
(c) One recent cost analysis report indicates that electricity from hydroelectric power can be produced for about $0.05 per kWh , while electricity from conventional coal-fired power plants can be produced for an average of about $0.11 per kWh . Calculate the percent change in the cost of electricity for a typical house resulting from a switch between conventional coal-fired power plants to hydroelectric power. Show your work.
Answer: 54.5%
Explanation:
Hydroelectric power is said to cost $0.05 per kWh to produce. A typical house uses 10,900 kWh in a year so in a year it would cost,
= 0.05 * 10,900
= $545
Coal-fired Electricity can be produced at a cost of $0.11 per kWh so a typical house would cost,
= $0.11 * 10,900
= $1,199
Percentage change in the cost using Coal-fired as a base is,
= (1,199 - 545)/1,199
= 0.5455
= 54.5%
54.5% is the percent change in the cost of electricity for a typical house resulting from a switch between conventional coal-fired power plants to hydroelectric power.
Answer:
The percent change in the cost of electricity from coal-fired to hydroelectric power = 54.5% reduction.
Explanation:
a) The cost of coal-fired power = $0.11 per KWh
b) The cost of hydroelectric power = $0.05 per KWh
c) The reduction or savings = $0.06 ($0.11 - $0.05) per KWh
d) The % change is therefore = $0.06/$0.11 x 100 = 54.5%
e) The implication is that it will cost a typical house 54.5% less when it switches from coal-fired power plants to hydroelectric power. The house will be paying $0.06 less per KWh.
When using capital rationing, unfunded proposals a.may be reconsidered if funds later become available. b.are discarded for purposes of decision making for all future plans. c.are always considered to be unacceptable. d.None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
A) may be reconsidered if funds later become available.
Explanation:
Capital rationing is a strategy used by businesses (firms, companies, organisations, investors etc) in restricting the number of investments or projects that a company can presently undertake. The projects chosen are those that have the greatest potential to bring in the highest marginal profit to the business. In this strategy, companies prioritise and delve into projects that have a high rate of returns on investments much more readily than projects with a lesser rate of return on investment (ROI).
Unfunded proposals refers to projects or propositions that did not make the cut for the capital released or were not considered as 'great profit opportunities' to be invested into at the present time based on the current strategy (capital rationing). Unfunded proposals are good ideas (as no business deliberately wants to make a loss) but they were not considered by the management to be investments to delve into immediately for various reasons (ranging from low ROI to low funds to wrong timing etc.)
Knowing this, we will therefore see that under the right circumstances, unfunded proposals could be picked up again and invested into.
As such, Option A (unfunded proposals may be reconsidered if funds later become available) is the correct answer

Assume that the. Top level management team has accepted your recommendation how can their effectiveness be evaluated three months after implementation
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question provides no context or references, we can say that if the top-level management team has accepted your recommendation their effectiveness can be evaluated three months after implementation in the following way.
The recommendation needs to establish some goals that have to be accomplished in the short, medium, and long-range. After the first three months, you establish your exéctations and you should have included your KPIs or Key Performance Indicators in order to do the proper evaluation and knowing if the recommendations were valid or attainable. Lack of goals or KPIs to evaluate the recommendation would end up complicating the evaluation process.

Data concerning that job appear below: Job X32Z Beginning balance $ 5,800 Charged to the job during May Direct materials $ 9,100 Direct labor $ 2,800 Manufacturing overhead applied $ 4,800 Units completed 180 Units in process at the end of May 0 Units sold during May 80 In May, overhead was overapplied by $380. The company adjusts its cost of goods sold every month for the amount of the overhead that was underapplied or overapplied. Required: 1. Using the direct method, what is the cost of goods sold for May?
Answer:
Cost of goods sold is $9,620
Explanation:
First step prepare the Cost of Goods Manufactured Account
Direct materials $ 9,100
Direct labor $ 2,800
Manufacturing overhead applied $ 4,800
Total Manufacturing Costs $16,700
Add Opening Work In Process $ 5,800
Less Closing Work In Process $ 0
Cost of Goods Manufactured $22,500
Next we need to calculate the cost of goods sold as follows :
Opening Finished Goods Inventory $0
Add Cost of Goods Manufactured $22,500
Less Closing Finished Goods Inventory ($12,500)
Cost of goods sold $10,000
Less Over-applied Overheads ($380)
Adjusted Cost of goods sold $9,620
Finished Goods Inventory = $22,500 × 100/180
= $12,500
Thus Cost of goods sold is $9,620

All of the following are true regarding ethics except: Multiple Choice Ethics are beliefs that distinguish right from wrong. Ethics rules are often set for CPAs. Ethics do not affect the operations or outcome of a company. Are critical in accounting. Ethics can be difficult to apply.
Answer:
Ethics do not affect the operations or outcome of a company.
Explanation:
The statement above is wrong. Ethics do affect the operations or outcome for a company. A lack of ethics can even bring down a company.
For example, unethical accountants in a company could report the wrong financial statements. Financial statements are like the diagnosis for a company, if they are wrong, wrong decisions will be taken, and those wrong decisions could bring down the company.
Organizations often have different kinds of rules and regulations.The false statement regarding ethics is that Ethics do affect the operations or outcome of a company.
Firms often have ethics that are used in the running of their business. Ethics can also be called moral philosophy. It is commonly known as that which is morally good and bad and that which is morally right and wrong.
It is often used in any firm, system or theory of moral values or principles. It influences the day to day running of a frim/business as the business is build based on the ethics of that organization.

Consider two bonds, a 3-year bond paying an annual coupon of 5.90% and a 10-year bond also with an annual coupon of 5.90%. Both currently sell at a face value of $1,000. Now suppose interest rates rise to 9%. a. What is the new price of the 3-year bonds
Answer:
First bond new price= $921.53
Second bond new price =$801.05
Explanation:
a. Face value= future value= $1,000
Coupon rate= 5.90%
Coupon payment= 0.0590*1,000= 59
Time= 3 years
Yield to maturity= 9%
Enter the below in a financial calculator to calculate the present value of the bond:
FV= 1,000
PMT= 59
N= 3
I/Y= 9
The value obtained is 921.53.
Therefore, the new price of the bond is $921.53.
b. Face value= future value= $1,000
Coupon rate= 5.90%
Coupon payment= 0.0590*1,000= 59
Time= 10 years
Yield to maturity= 9%
Enter the below in a financial calculator to calculate the present value of the bond:
FV= 1,000
PMT= 59
N= 10
Interest rate per annum= 9
The value obtained is 801.05.
Therefore, the new price of the bond is $801.05.

Market efficiency Financial theorists have identified two different types of efficiency in financial markets. The first, informational efficiency, contributes to the existence and strength of the other, economic efficiency. The degree of informational efficiency exhibited by a market refers to the types of information incorporated into the prices observed in the market and the speed with which prices adjust when new relevant information is released into the market. Markets are said to exhibit one of three levels of informational efficiency: weak-form efficiency, semistrong-form efficiency, or strong-form efficiency. At any level, a market’s informational efficiency is likely to be stronger when there is a number of market participants receiving and analyzing relevant security and market information in search of the most profitable investments. The potential for a security to generate returns is what generates a profitable investment, since these returns result from price increases and decreases that are larger than they should be based on the riskiness of the investment. True or False: The degree of economic efficiency observed in a market is strongly influenced by the degree of informational efficiency that exists in the same market. False True
Answer: 1. Large
2. Abnormal
3. True
Explanation:
1. At any level, a market’s informational efficiency is likely to be stronger when there is a Large number of market participants.
When there is a larger number of participants, this means that there is a large number of people able to acquire and analyse information about securities and the financial markets.
As a result of this, information is more wide ranging and easily available such that they market has very good information efficiency.
2. The potential for a security to generate Abnormal returns is what generates a profitable investment.
When a security is potentially able to generate abnormal returns, there is a chance of making very profitable returns if those returns are higher or lower than estimated. When returns are estimated, these are usually reflected in the market price already because they are expected, when the returns are better or worse than expected though, this means that the prices were wrong therefore giving a chance of a positive gain on the security.
3. True.
Information efficiency is very important in the market. It can mean the difference between the market being manipulated and used for unfair gains and the market being used fairly by all. Information efficiency gives every market player the same Opportunity to find out about a security and act accordingly instead of select people taking advantage of hidden Opportunities.

What amount would a person with actual cash value (ACV) coverage receive for two-year-old furniture destroyed by a fire? The furniture would cost $1,000 to replace today and had an estimated life of five years.
Answer:
$600
Explanation:
The actual cash value coverage to be received for the two-year old furniture is equivalent to the replacement cost today minus estimated depreciation amount that would have been charged on the furniture till date.
replacement cost is $1,000
estimated depreciation till date=$1000/useful life*number of years the furniture has been put to use
estimated depreciation=$1,000/5*2=$400
actual cash value coverage =$1000-$400=$600
All in all,the amount that a person with actual cash value coverage would receive today on the furniture is $600

Shipments of product X from a plant to a wholesaler are made in lots of 600 units. The wholesaler's average demand for product X is 150 units per week. Lead time from plant to wholesaler is 4 weeks. The wholesaler pays for the shipments when they leave the plant. What is the total of the wholesaler's cycle inventory and pipeline inventory?
Answer:
The total of the wholesaler's cycle inventory and pipeline inventory is 900 units.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the total of the wholesaler's cycle inventory and pipeline inventory we would have to make the following calculations:
Cycle inventory=lot size/2 = 600 / 2
Cycle inventory= 300 units
Pipeline inventory=leadtime*average demand=4*150
Pipeline inventory=600 units.
Therefore, Total Cycle + Pipeline inventory = 300 + 600
Total Cycle + Pipeline inventory =900 units
The total of the wholesaler's cycle inventory and pipeline inventory is 900 units.

Super Saver Groceries purchased store equipment for $44,500. Super Saver estimates that at the end of its 10-year service life, the equipment will be worth $4,500. During the 10-year period, the company expects to use the equipment for a total of 10,000 hours. Super Saver used the equipment for 1,400 hours the first year.Required:Calculate depreciation expense of the equipment for the first year, using each of the following methods. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)1. Straight-line.2. Double-declining-balance.3. Activity-based.
Answer:
1) Using straight line method , depreciation for first year is $4,000
2) Using double declining balance , depreciation for first year is $8,900
3) Using activity based method, depreciation for first year is $5,600
Explanation:
Given:
Cost = $44,500
Useful life = 10 years
Salvage value = $4,500
Useful life in hours = 10,000 hours
Super Saver used the equipment for 1,400 hours the first year.
1) Straight line method
Depreciation for first year = (cost - salvage value) ÷ useful life
= $(44,500 - 4,500) ÷ 10
= $4,000 per year
2) Double declining balance
Depreciation rate = (100 ÷ useful life) × 2
= (100 ÷ 10) × 2
= 20%
Depreciation for first year = $44,500 × 20%
= $8,900
3) Activity based
Rate = cost - salvage value ÷ useful life in hours
= ($44,500 - $4,500) ÷ 10,000
= 4 per hour
Depreciation for first year = 1,400 × 4
= $5,600

The computer workstation furniture manufacturing that Santana Rey started in January is progressing well. As of the end of June, Business Solutions's job cost sheets show the following total costs accumulated on three furniture jobs
Job 602 Job 603 Job 604
Direct Materials $1,700 $3,100 $2,600
Direct labor 1,000 1,340 1,800
Overhead 500 670 900
Job 602 was started in production in May, and these costs were assigned to it in May: direct materials, $500; direct labor, $250; and overhead, $125. Jobs 603 and 604 were started in June. Overhead cost is applied with a predetermined rate based on direct labor costs. Jobs 602 and 603 are finished in June, and Job 604 is expected to be finished in July. No raw materials are used indirectly in June. (Assume this company’s predetermined overhead rate did not change over these months).
1. What predetermined overhead rate is used in June?
2. How much cost is transferred to finished goods inventory in June?
Answer:
1. 50%
2. $8,310
Explanation:
1. The computation of predetermined overhead rate is used in June is shown below:-
Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead Cost ÷ Direct labor Cost
= $125 ÷ $250
= 50%
2. The computation of cost is transferred to finished goods inventory in June is shown below:-
Job Raw Direct Overhead Total Cost transferred
material labor applied Cost to finished goods
602 $1,700 $1,000 $500 $3,200 $3,200
603 $3,100 $1,340 $670 $5,110 $5,110
604 $2,600 $1,800 $900 $5,300
Total
cost $7,400 $4,140 $2,070 $13,610 $8,310
The total cost is comprise of raw material, direct labor and overhead applied
And since Job 602 and 603 are finished in June so the same is to be considered and The job 604 is expected to finished in July so the same is not relevant
