Answer:
(2) consult others before making a decision.
Before I make a recommendation, I will consult my team members. Individually, some may have new ideas and modifications which we can incorporate into the project to even beat the competition and cause management to continue supporting the project.
Explanation:
Even though our competitor's "product appears to utilize radical new design principles that expand the functionality of the product," we can still modify our product. This will not only incorporate the features of our competitor's product, but also further introduce new features that will emanate from the challenge from competition.
This is where the SCRUM framework becomes important. This framework for project management emphasizes teamwork, accountability, and iterative progress toward a well-defined goal, while allowing for tweaks.
Developing this project based on this framework must have made it possible for us to receive the report from the marketing department in the first place. The principles of Scrum are Openness, Respect, Courage, Commitment, and Focus. So, the best we can do will be to prioritize, come up with new improvement ideas, and convince top management not to cancel the project.
At December 31, 2015, Albrecht Corporation had outstanding 368,000 shares of common stock and 6,000 shares of 9.5%, $100 par value cumulative, nonconvertible preferred stock. On May 31, 2016, Albrecht sold for cash 12,000 shares of its common stock. No cash dividends were declared for 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2016, Albrecht reported a net loss of $1,743,000.
Calculate Albrecht's net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Answer:
Net loss per share is -$4.80
Explanation:
The net loss per share is the total loss in the year divided by the weighted average number of common stock in the year.
Total net loss=net loss-preferred stock dividend
preferred stock dividend=$100*6,000*9.5%=$ 57,000.00
total net loss=-$1,743,000-$57,000=-$1,800,000
weighted average number of common stock=368,000*5/12+(368,000+12,000)*7/12=375,000 shares
net loss per share=-$1,800,000/375,000=-$4.80

Answer:
the answer is E
Explanation:
4. After making a visual inspection, buyer bought property from seller and proceeded to build a home. When the possibility of soil slippage soon became apparent, construction was halted. Buyer sued seller to rescind the sale. Soil expert testified that the property was not suitable for the construction of a residence. Seller was unaware of the stability hazard of the soil when the sale was transacted. Could buyer rescind
Answer:
The buyer could not rescind the contract.
Since there was no deceit on the part of the seller, the buyer should have taken reasonable care, according to the doctrine of caveat emptor, before concluding the contract. This would have forced him to undertake a soil test to determine its suitability.
Some questions to ask the buyer are: did he communicate with the seller about the suitability of the property for a residential house?
Can the buyer prove that he was reasonably induced to make the contract because it was difficult to discover the unsuitability? This is not the case.
Was the buyer induced by the seller's assurances of no defects? The seller was not aware of the stability hazard of the soil, so he could not have assured the buyer of no defects.
Did the buyer discover the defects within a reasonable time? This was not likely.
Explanation:
Under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, for a buyer to revoke or rescind, "he must show (1) the goods failed to conform to the contract and (2) it substantially impaired the value of the goods (this is a question of fact). "
The buyer can rescind the contract if he can show he accepted the property knowing that the seller would cure it and this did not happen.

Many luxury sheets cost less than $200 to make but sell for more than $500 in retail stores. Some cost even more dash–consumers pay almost $3,000 for Frett'e "Tangeri Pizzo" king-size luxury linens. The creators of a new brand of luxury linens, called Boll & Branch, have entered this market. They want to price their sheets lower than most brands but still want to earn an adequate margin on sales. The sheets come in a luxurious box that can be reused to store lingerie, jewelry, or other keepsakes. The Boll & Branch brand touts fair trade practices when sourcing its high-grade long-staple organic cotton from India. The company calculated the price to consumers to be $350If the company decides to sell through retailers instead of directly to consumers online, to maintain the consumer price at $350,at what price must it sell the product to a wholesaler who then sells it to retailers? Assume wholesalers desire a 5percent margin and retailers get a 30percent margin, both based on their respective selling prices.
Answer:
at what price must it sell the product to a wholesaler who then sells it to retailers?
$232.75Explanation:
sales price to consumers = $350
retailers' margin = $350 x 30% = $105
price at which retailers purchase each unit = $350 - $105 = $245
sales price to retailers = $245
wholesaler's margin = $245 x 5% = $12.25
price at which wholesaler purchases each unit = $245 - $12.25 = $232.75
how to verify this:
($232.75 x 5/95) + $232.75 = $245
($245 x 30/70) + $245 = $350

X $ By what amount did Rob Elliot’s equity increase or decrease during the period? $ What is the amount of profit or loss during December? $ What were the total expenses for December? $ How much expense was reported for supplies? $ How much does GGE Enterprises owe to its creditors? $
Answer and Explanation:
The formula and the computation is shown below:
a. Total Assets = Total Liabilities and Owners’ Equity
Total Assets = $55,650
b. Total Assets = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Land
$55,650 = Cash + $8,600 + $16,500
Cash = $55,650 - $8,600 - $16,500
= $30,550
c. Increase in Owners’ Equity = Rob Elliot Capital on 31 December - Rob Elliot, Capital on 31 December
= $38,000 - $0
= $38,000
d. Increase in Owners’ Equity = Additional Investment during December + Net Income - Rob Elliot Drawing
= $38,000 = $35,000 + Net income - $5,750
Net income = $8,750
e. Net Income = Fees Earned - Total Expenses
$8,750 = $26,750 - Total expenses
Total expenses = $26,750 - $8,750
= $18,000
f. Total Expenses = Rent Expense + Supplies Expense + Utilities Expense + Wages Expense + Miscellaneous Expense
$18,000 = $6,400 + Supplies Expense + $4,650 + $1,265 + $460
Supplies expenses = $18,000 - $12,775
= $5,225
g. Total Liabilities and Owners’ Equity = Total Liabilities + Total Owners’ Equity
$55,650 = Total Liabilities + $38,000
Total liabilities = $17,000
Total Liabilities = Accounts Payable
Accounts Payable = $17,000
Amount owed to Creditors = Accounts Payable
Amount owed to Creditors = $17,000

A noncancelable lease contains an option to purchase a leased asset at a price that is sufficiently lower than the asset's expected fair value so that the exercise of the option appears reasonably certain. The fair value of the asset exceeds the lessor's cost of the asset. Therefore, the lease will be accounted for by the lessor as a(n):________ a) Guaranteed lease. b) Financing lease. c) Operating lease. d) Sales-type lease.
Answer:
d) Sales-type lease.
Explanation:
A bargain purchase option is a non-cancelable lease that contains an option to purchase a leased asset at a price that is sufficiently lower than the asset's expected fair value so that the exercise of the option appears reasonably certain.
Hence, the fair value of the asset exceeds the lessor's cost of the asset. Therefore, the lease will be accounted for by the lessor as Sales-type lease.
A Sales-type lease is a type of capital lease that doesn't meet the criteria to be classified as operating and the lessor makes both interest income and a loss or profit on the transaction, thus causing the fair market value of the leased asset to exceed the lessor's cost to purchase the leased asset.
Additionally, in a sales-type lease, the lessor should ensure net investment, impairment, variable lease payment, interest income are accounted for before the commencement date of the lease.

Evaluate the following investment options by comparing their risk and liquidity: buying a franchise real estate (buying property) mutual fund Which of the three investment alternatives is the best for you? Explain the reasons for your choice.
Answer:
Buying a franchise: For me, this is the riskiest investment, because the success of the business depends on the product or service it sells. If there is no demand for the product or service, the business will go under. This investment is also highly illiquid—in addition, finding someone willing to buy a business is difficult.
Mutual fund: This is the least risky of the three investment options. It is highly liquid compared to buying a franchise or real estate. Mutual fund investors can easily cash in their investments by selling the units they hold in a fund at the current market price.
Real estate: Real estate is a risky investment. First, property prices can fall in a depressed housing market. Second, real estate properties are illiquid. They can’t be sold quickly for a good price, especially in times of recession in the housing market or in the overall economy.
A mutual fund is the best of the three investment options for me, for the following reasons:
I can invest small amounts of money regularly and get higher returns on the investment than I would from a savings account. Also, this is a highly liquid investment. In case of a financial emergency, I can quickly sell my mutual fund units at their current market price.
Real estate is currently both a risky and illiquid investment, because of poor market conditions.
Buying a franchise is not a good option for me, because I don’t plan to go into business. In any case, I don’t have the money to make this investment.

Major Manuscripts, Inc., is currently operating at maximum capacity. All costs, assets, and current liabilities vary directly with sales. The tax rate and the dividend payout ratio will remain constant. In 2013, no new equity will be raised and sales are projected to increase by 10 percent. Construct the pro formas for 2013 and answer the following questions (show your work!).
Projected total assets= $______
Projected retained earnings= $______
Additional new debt required= $______
Answer:
Projected total assets = $10,318
Projected retained earnings = $4,675.30
Additional new debt required = $537.70
Explanation:
external financing needed = EFN = [(total assets/total sales) x ($ Δ sales)] - [(total current liabilities/total sales) x ($ Δ sales)] - [profit margin x forecasted sales in $ x (1 - dividend payout ratio)]
total assets = $9,380, projected total assets = $9,380 x 1.1 = $10,318

Explanation:
An origination fee is the fee charged to cover expenses involved with processing a loan application.
A machine that produces a certain piece must be turned off by the operator after each piece is completed. The machine "coasts" for 15 seconds after it is turned off, thus preventing the operator from removing the piece quickly before producing the next piece. An engineer has suggested installing a brake that would reduce the coasting time to 3 seconds.
The machine produces 50,000 pieces a year. The time to produce one piece is 1 minute 45 seconds, excluding coastint time. The operator earns $10 an hour and other direct costs for operating the machine are $5 an hour. The brake will require servicing every 589 hours of operation. It will take the operator 30 minutes to perform the necessary maintenance and will require $48 in parts and material. The brake is expected to last 7,500 hours of operation (with proper maintenance) and will have no salvage value.How much could be spent for the brake if the Minimum Attractive Rate of Return is 10% compounded annually?
Answer:
$9197.72
Explanation:
To find the amount to be spent for the brake if the Minimum Attractive Rate of Return is 10% compounded annually, we have the following:
Cost incurred without the brake = Number of pieces * (Number of minutes for producing one product / total number of minute in an hour) * cost per peice
Where,
Number of minutes for producing a product without the brake system =
105 seconds(1 min, 45 sec) + 15 seconds(coast time) = 2 minutes or 120 seconds
Thus,
Cost incurred without break is =
[tex]50,000* \frac{2}{60}* (10 + 5) = 25,000 [/tex]
Let's find the number of minutes for installing a break
= 105 + 3 seconds = 108 seconds = 1.8 minutes
Cost incurred with break =
[tex] 50,000 * \frac{1.8}{60} * (10 + 5) = $ 22,500 [/tex]
To find the maintainence cost, let's consider parts & material cost and labor cost for operator
[tex] (\frac{50000 * \frac{1.8}{60}}{589}) * (\frac{30}{60} * (10+48)) = 73.85 [/tex]
No. of years the brake will last
[tex] = \frac{\frac{7500}{50000}}{1.8/60} = 5 years [/tex]
The maximum amount that can be spent on brake will be the difference in cost incurred with brake and without brake * present value of annuity factor of 5 years at 10%
= (25,000 - 22,573.85)*PVAF, 10% for 5 years = $9197.72
$9198 (rounded off)
The the amount to be spent for the brake if the Minimum Attractive Rate of Return is 10% compounded annually is $9197.72

Consider a low-wage labor market. Workers in this market are not presently covered by the minimum wage, but the government is considering implementing such legislation. If implemented, this law would require employers in the market to pay workers a $5 hourly wage. Suppose all workers in the market are equally productive, the current market clearing wage rate is $4 per hour, and that at this market clearing wage there are 600 employed workers. Further suppose that under the minimum wage legislation, only 500 workers would be employed and 300 workers would be unemployed. Finally, assume that the market demand and supply curves are linear and that the market reservation wage, the lowest wage at which any worker in the market would be willing to work, is $2. Compute the dollar value of the impact of the policy on employers, workers, and society as a whole.
Answer:
the total impact of minimum wage on employers, workers, and society as a whole is -$150
Explanation:
From the information given ;
As a result of the increase in the wage they must pay; employers will lose surplus that relates to the area of a trapezoid resulting from the reduction in the size of the surplus triangle according to the demand curve of labor; In short, since the trapezoid is a parallelogram ; it could be thought to be as a rectangle with sides equal to the wage increase of ( $5 - $4) = $1
Also; the new employment level is $500
The triangle with a height equal to the wage increase is $1 with a base equal to the reduction in the number of workers demanded (600 - 500 = 100)
Summing up all two areas together;we get:
= (1)(500) + (1) (100/2)
= 500 + 50
= $550
The worker who remain in the market each gain a surplus equal to the amount of $1 increase in the wage that they receive.
Therefore; the total increase in surplus = (1)(500) = $500
The 100 workers who lose their job will definitely lose surplus.
If these worker are evenly distributed along the market supply curve between the market reservation wage of $2 and market equilibrium wage of $4.
Their average loss of surplus can be computed as:
= 1/2($4 - $2)
=0.5($2)
= $1
Thus; the total loss of surplus is :
= $100× $1
= $100
Thus , the total impact of minimum wage on employers, workers, and society as a whole is :
= $550 -$ 100 - $550
= -$150

Buster Industries pays weekly salaries of $30,000 on Friday for a five-day week ending on that day. The adjusting entry necessary at the end of the fiscal period ending on Tuesday is
Answer:
Debit Salary Expenses $12,000, Credit Salary Payable $12,000
Explanation:
5 days salaries = $30,000
2 days salaries = $30,000/5 =$20,000
The adjusting entry would be increasing salary expenses and creating a corresponding liability for the same.
Debit Salary Expenses $12,000, Credit Salary Payable $12,000
The adjusting entry necessary at the end of the fiscal period ending on Tuesday is : Debit Salary Expenses $12,000, Credit Salary Payable $12,000.
A 12-month period known as a "fiscal period" or "fiscal year" is when a business entity is required to account for all transactions and events involving that specific company. The 12-month timeframe does not always correspond to the 365-day period from January 1 to December 31.
The calculation for salary is as follows:
The total of 5days salaries is $30,000.
So, 2 days salaries will be:
[tex]\dfrac{\$30,000}{5} \times 2\\\\=\$12,000[/tex]
The adjusting entry would be increasing salary expenses and creating a corresponding liability for the same.
Therefore, the salaries expense account is debited and salaries payable account is credited for $12000.

Asonia Co. will pay a dividend of $5.30, $9.40, $12.25, and $14.25 per share for each of the next four years, respectively. The company will then close its doors. If investors require a return of 9.8 percent on the company's stock, what is the stock price?
Answer:
$31.68
Explanation:
The computation of the stock price is shown below:
= Dividend for year 1 ÷ (1 + required return)^number of years + Dividend for year 2 ÷ (1 + required return)^ number of years + Dividend for year 3 ÷ (1 + required return)^ number of years + Dividend for year 4 ÷ (1 + required return)^ number of years
= $5.30 ÷ (1 + 9.8%) + $9.40 ÷ (1 + 9.8%)^2 + $12.25 ÷ (1 + 9.8%)^3 + $14.25 ÷ (1 + 9.8%)^4

Jonathan, the HR manager of a manufacturing company, asks all the employees to use public transportation and thus contribute to the reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases. However, the employees state that they lose time if they use public transport, and they continue to commute in private vehicles. In the context of social dilemmas, the employees' actions will result in ________ in this scenario.
Answer:
the Tragedy of the Commons
Explanation:
A lot of people still fail to consider our environment as part of ourselves and where we live. They choose to believe that pollution is not that serious because they do not see it or are not affected by it. But our world is one big house where we all live. The burning of the Amazon rain forests affects us all, the same as car pollution affects the whole world, even if you do not feel the negative effects right away. Since people do not see the bad consequences of pollution, they will continue to pollute until it is too late. Most people place their individual needs ahead of the collective needs of society and our environment.
We have learned about four types of adjustments: (1) prepaid expenses, (2) unearned revenues, (3) accrued revenues, and (4) accrued expenses. With those concepts in mind, review the following scenario, As the book-keeper for your company you are required to create quarterly financial statements (Income Statement, Statement of Owner's Equity Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows) in order to report on the financial activities of the company for the quarter (three months). It is now March 29th, and in preparation for creating the 1st quarter's financial statements (as of 3/31), you have called a meeting with the Dept. Managers for Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable to confirm deadlines that have to be met for recording March-related transactions. As the meeting starts the owner walks in - she sits quietly as you explain the deadlines, but as soon as you have finished she says "Well, for this quarter, if we have not paid March invoices by March 31, there is no need to record them in March. We can record/expense those invoices when we pay them in April or May." Required:
1. Do you agree with the owner, or, do you feel that an adjusting entry is necessary in the situation described? If so - which type of adjusting entry is needed?
2. Why is the adjustment necessary? (Refer to concepts in the chapter) In your post:
a) discuss the impact (understated or overstated) on the accounts affected if the adjustment is not made, and
b) explain how the adjustment affects the appropriate financial statements

Answer:
1. Do you agree with the owner, or, do you feel that an adjusting entry is necessary in the situation described? If so - which type of adjusting entry is needed?
She is wrong, because the accrual principle states that both revenues and expenses must be recognized during the periods that they actually occur, not when they are collected or paid for.2. Why is the adjustment necessary? (Refer to concepts in the chapter) In your post:
