Explanation:
When companies from different countries get into a contract, it is quite desirable that they stipulate which country's laws that they will abide by should the need arise.
However, if this is not done, there is still a method of enforcing. When not specifically listed, contract between companies from different countries falls under a branch of Private International law which is International Contract Law which is synonymous with International Sales law.
This law falls under the jurisdiction of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) which came into effect in January 1988.
Both France and the United States of America have ratified the law and so Cowboy Hats is free to take legal action within this framework if they so please.

Schumpeter’s process of "creative destruction" challenges Porter’s five forces of competition framework by:_______. A. Introducing concepts of renewal and rebirth into the analysis of industrial change.B. Recognizing that cooperation is as important in business as competition.C. Proposing that competitive behavior determines industry structure rather than the other way round.D. Viewing competition is essential for the renewal of mature and declining industries.
Answer:
C. Proposing that competitive behavior determines industry structure rather than the other way round.
Explanation:
The Porter’s five forces of competition is a framework developed by Michael E. Porter in 1979, it is used to measure and analyze an organization's competitiveness in a business environment.
The Porter's five forces of competition framework are:
1. The bargaining power of suppliers.
2. The bargaining power of customers.
3. Threat posed by substitute products.
4. Threats posed by new entrants.
5. Threats posed by existing rivals in the industry.
Joseph Alois Schumpeter was born on the 8th of February 1883 in Moravia, and he later became an Austrian political economist.
Joseph Schumpeter’s process of "creative destruction" challenges Porter’s five forces of competition framework by proposing that competitive behavior determines industry structure rather than the other way round.
From Schumpeter’s perspective, competition among organizations is a process of "creative destruction." He argued that, the essential fact about capitalism is the process of "creative destruction."
Hence, the competitiveness of a business environment causes market dominating organizations to face constant challenges from their counterparts through innovations.

Dmitri and Frances Cuttner live in Swarthmore, PA. Frances's father, Jake, lives in Sweden.
For each of the following transactions that occur in their lives, identify whether it is included in the calculation of U.S. GDP as part of consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), exports (X), or imports (M).
Transaction CIGXM
Dmitri's employer upgrades all of its computer systems
using U.S.-made parts.
Frances gets a new refrigerator made in the United States.
Dmitri buys a bottle of Italian wine.
The state of Pennsylvania repaves highway PA 320, which
goes through the center of Swarthmore.
Frances's father in Sweden orders a bottle of Vermont
maple syrup from the producer's website.
Answer and Explanation:
As we know that
Gross domestic product = Consumption + Investment + Government purchase + Net exports
where,
Net exports = Exports - imports
It is the finailzed value of all goods and services that are produced and consumed within the boundary
These are the 5 parts of the gross domestic product. by this we can easily calculate the gross domestic product
Based on the above, the classifications are as follows
Dmitri's employer upgrades all of its computer systems using U.S.-made parts. = Investment as it upgrades all the computer system
Frances gets a new refrigerator made in the United States. = Consumption. As the new refrigerator consume accrodinhg to the need
Dmitri buys a bottle of Italian wine. = Import and consumption. It is an import plus consumption first it is purchased and then after purchasing it is consumed
The state of Pennsylvania repaves highway PA 320, which goes through the center of Swarthmore. = Government purchase as it is for the benefit of the general public
Frances's father in Sweden orders a bottle of Vermont maple syrup from the producer's website. = export as it is for the third party so the same come under the export

On January 1, 2021, purchased $100,000 of Anand Company bonds at face value. The Anand bonds pay 6% coupon rate. On the purchase date, the market interest rate was 6% for bonds of similar risk and maturity. The bonds pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31 of each year. Rupar accounts for the bonds as a held-to-maturity investment, and uses the effective interest method. On June 30, 2021, Rupar would record a credit to interest revenue of:
Answer: $3,000
Explanation:
On June 30, 2021, Rupar would have held the bond for 6 months. The coupon rate is an annual figure and so must be translated to a semi annual figure.
To do that simy divide by 2.
= 6% /2
= 3%.
The bond is paid interest on at face value as well.
Therefore the interest on June 30 is,
= 100,000 * 3%
= $3,000
Just as depository institutions differ from non-depository Institutions, there are also differences between the structure and activities of, and the financial products and services provided by, various depository institutions. Read the following statements and indicate which, if any, are true.
A) Mutual savings Banks and credit unions are similar in that both are owned by their depositors, who share in their profits.
B) Demand deposit accounts created by commercial banks are usually called checking accounts or negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts, while those created by Credit unions are called share draft accounts
C) Members of both credit unions and mutual savings banks share a common bond or affiliation
Answer: A. True
B. True
C. False
Explanation:
A. Both Mutual Savings Banks and Credit Unions are owned by the their depositors. Credit Unions are owned and operated by members for the purpose of creating banking services for themselves at a cheaper cost.
Mutual Savings Banks are also owned by members who felt that traditional banks did not favour them.
B. Demand Deposit accounts exist in both commercial banks and Credit Unions but with different names. In Commercial banks they are known as Checking accounts for the most part but Credit Unions call them Share Draft Accounts and members of the Union can use these accounts by writing drafts like Commercial banks allow cheques.
C. While Credit Unions were formed usually for people in the same organisations or people with a common bond, Mutual Savings Banks were generally meant to uplift the lower economic classes so they did not share a common bond as Credit Union members do.

Item 13Item 13 Jacques relies on a cost-benefit analysis to decide if moving operations overseas is better than increasing the size of the current manufacturing facility in the United States. He is using the ________ approach to ethics to determine his answer.
Answer:
Utilitarian approach.
Explanation:
Utilitarian approach evaluates actions to be taken in terms of its consequences and outcomes.
The aim of the utilitarian approach is to ensure the largest number of people benefit while the lowest number of people are harmed.
In this scenario Jacques uses a cost-benefit analysis to decide if moving operations overseas is better than increasing the size of the current manufacturing facility in the United States.
Cost benefit tries to determine if the benefit of an action outweighs it's cost. Based on findings the best option that has the greatest benefit is selected.
Odeletta Corporation is considering an investment of $ 506 comma 000 in a land development project. The investment will yield cash inflows of $ 212 comma 000 per year for five years. The company uses a discount rate of 9%. What is the net present value of the investment? Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1: 8% 9% 10% 1 0.926 0.917 0.909 2 1.783 1.759 1.736 3 2.577 2.531 2.487 4 3.312 3.24 3.17 5 3.993 3.89 3.791
Answer:
$318,680
Explanation:
initial investment ($506,000)
cash flow year 1 = $212,000
cash flow year 2 = $212,000
cash flow year 3 = $212,000
cash flow year 4 = $212,000
cash flow year 5 = $212,000
discount rate 9%
present value of an ordinary annuity for 5 years and 9% discount rate = 3.89
the net present value = (yearly cash flow x annuity value) - initial investment = ($212,000 x 3.89) -$506,000 = $824,680 - $506,000 = $318,680
The net present value of an investment equals the difference between the present value of the cash flows generated by the investment minus the initial cost of the investment.
Tructuring a Special-Order Problem Harrison Ford Company has been approached by a new customer with an offer to purchase 10,000 units of its model IJ4 at a price of $3.80 each. The new customer is geographically separated from the company's other customers, and existing sales would not be affected. Harrison normally produces 75,000 units of IJ4 per year but only plans to produce and sell 60,000 in the coming year. The normal sales price is $12 per unit. Unit cost information for the normal level of activity is as follows:
Direct materials: $1.75
Direct labor: 2.50
Variable overhead: 1.50
Fixed overhead: 3.25
Total: $9.00
Fixed overhead will not be affected by whether or not the special order is accepted. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
Answer:
Effect on income= $19,500 decrease
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Offer:
Purchase 10,000 units of its model IJ4 for $3.80 each.
Direct materials: $1.75
Direct labor: 2.50
Variable overhead: 1.50
Unitary variable cost= $5.75
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs:
Effect on income= 10,000* (3.8 - 5.75)= $19,500 decrease
On December 31, 2020, Grand Company had $1,232,000 of short-term debt in the form of notes payable due February 2, 2021. On January 21, 2021, the company issued 25,500 shares of its common stock for $48 per share, receiving $1,224,000 proceeds after brokerage fees and other costs of issuance. On February 2, 2021, the proceeds from the stock sale, supplemented by an additional $8,000 cash, are used to liquidate the $1,232,000 debt. The December 31, 2020, balance sheet is issued on February 23, 2021. Show how the $1,232,000 of short-term debt should be presented on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet. (Enter account name only and do not provide descriptive information.)

Answer:
Current liabilities:
Notes payable $8,000
Non-current/long-term liabilities:
Notes payable $1,224,000
Explanation:
The actual amount of notes payable at 31st December is the difference between the short-term debt and the amount of cash realized from the issue of common stock whose proceeds are meant to be used in liquidating the short-term debt.
The actual amount of notes payable=$1,232,000-$1,224,000=$8,000
By issuing common stock of $1,224,000 to repay the short-term debt,the $1,224,000 is effectively converted to funding of long-term nature,hence classified as long-term liabilities
Ellen's tax client, Tom, is employed at a large company that offers health care flexible spending accounts to its employees. Tom must decide at the beginning of the year whether he wants to put as much as $2,700 of his salary into the health care flexible spending account. He expects that he will have to pay for at least $8,000 of medical expenses for his family during the year since his wife is seeing a psychiatrist every week and his daughter and son are both having their teeth straightened. Tom does not itemize deductions. Should Ellen recommend that Tom put the maximum in his medical flexible spending account, and if so, why?
Karen is a wealthy retired investment advisor who is in the 35 percent tax bracket. She has a choice between investing in a high-quality municipal bond paying 5 percent or a high-quality corporate bond paying 7 percent. Which investment do you think she will make and why?
Answer: 1. Yes he should
2. Municipal.
Explanation:
1. Tom seems to have a lot of medical expenses coming up and so he should set aside as much as he can to cover them.
Another reason he should is that contributions to this type of account are treated as tax deductible. This means that not only does he get to cover his medical expenses, they can also reduce the taxes that he pays for the year.
2. Municipal Bonds are tax exempt and so Karen stands to gain by investing in Municipal Bonds given her tax bracket.
With her tax bracket, the interest earned on the Corporate bond would be,
After tax interest earned = 7% ( 1 - 0.35)
= 4.55%.
This is less than the 5% she would receive from the high quality Municipal bond so she should invest in the Municipal Bond.
An employee of JHT Holdings, Inc., a trucking company, was responsible for resolving roadway accident claims under $25,000. The employee created fake accident claims and wrote settlement checks of between $5,000 and $25,000 to friends or acquaintances acting as phony "victims." One friend recruited subordinates at his place of work to cash some of the checks. Beyond this, the JHT employee also recruited lawyers, whom he paid to represent both the trucking company and the fake victims in the bogus accident settlements. When the lawyers cashed the checks, they allegedly split the money with the corrupt JHT employee. This fraud went undetected for two years.Answer the following True or False questions concerning the fraud.1. Frauds that are perpetrated with multiple parties in different positions of control make detecting fraud more difficult.2. Claims should be authorized and verified before payment is made.3. The employee made sure each claim had a phony "victim."4. Corrupt lawyers were brought into the fraud to act as attorneys for the claimants.
Answer:
1) true
2) False
3) True
4) True
Explanation:
When multiple parties collaborate to make a fraud successful, it is extremely difficult to detect and prove the fraud.
Claims were authorized and verified. Each individual's background can't be verified in depth.
The employee made sure each claim had a phony victim to verify claims
Only corrupt lawyers would let this fraud be undetected. Lawyers while questionning are able to find out the truthfulness in the claim.
Mountain View Resorts purchased equipment at the beginning of 2021 for $46,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated four- year service life is expected to be $6,100. The machine operated for 2,100 hours in the first year and the company expects the machine to operate for a total of 12,000 hours over its four-year life. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021, using each of the following depreciation methods: (1) straight-line, (2) double-declining- balance, and (3) activity-based. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) Depreciation Expense Straight-line Double-declining-balance Activity-based
Answer:
(1) straight-line = $9,975
(2) double-declining- balance = $23,000
(3) activity-based = $6,982.50
Explanation:
purchase cost $46,000
useful life 4 years
residual value $6,100
total operating hours 12,000
(1) straight-line = ($46,000 - $6,100) / 4 years = $9,975 fo 2021
(2) double-declining- balance = 2 x ($46,000 / 4 years) = $23,000 fro 2021
(3) activity-based = 2,100 hours x [$46,000 - $6,100) / 12,000 hours] = 2,100 x $3.325 = $6,982.50
The double declining method is considered an accelerated depreciation method, that is why it is so high.
The cash flows from operating activities are reported by the direct method on the statement of cash flows. Determine the following: If sales for the current year were $753,500 and accounts receivable decreased by $48,400 during the year, what was the amount of cash received from customers
Answer:
The answer is $801,900
Explanation:
Cash received from customers is a line item under operating activities in the cash flow. It is the total amount of money collected from customers for the period.
Cash received from customers equals sales plus decrease in accounts receivable.
Sales = $753,500
Decrease in accounts receivable = $48,400.
Therefore, Cash received from customers = $753,500 + $48,400
$801,900
A company produces a single product. Variable production costs are $12.30 per unit and variable selling and administrative expenses are $3.30 per unit. Fixed manufacturing overhead totals $39,000 and fixed selling and administration expenses total $43,000. Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 4,300 units and sales of 3,750 units, the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing would be:
Answer:
Ending inventory= $6,765
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable production costs are $12.30 per unit
Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 4,300 units, and sales of 3,750 units.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead) to calculate production costs.
Units in ending inventory= 550
Ending inventory= 12.3*550= $6,765

If tea and coffee are substitute goods, which of the following is likely to occur if the price of coffee has increased?
A. The demand curve for tea shifts to the right.
B. A rightward or downward movement along the demand curve for tea.
C. The supply curve for coffee shifts to the right.
D. The demand curve for coffee shifts to the right.
Answer:
A. The demand curve for tea shifts to the right
Explanation:
Demand is defined as the measure of sensitivity of quantity demanded is a group with changes in price.
However when there is an increase or decrease in demand as a result of other factors except for price it is called shift in demand.
In the given scenario if the price of coffee increases, it will result in less amount of coffee being demanded. People will look for a substitute (tea).
Demand for tea will increase as a result of shift of the demand curve for real to the right.
This is illustrated in the attached diagram.
Answer:
A. The demand curve for tea shifts to the right.
Explanation:
In the above condition where tea and coffee are substitute goods amongst themselves, it is easily to explain according to the supply and demand theories that when price of coffee increases, the demand curve for tea shifts to the right.
It can be easily seen that a relation showing the amounts of a commodity
there is an increase or decrease in demand as a result of other factors that buyers purchase at alternative prices during a given period of time, and the fact that these goods are substituted against each other made it possible.

Dr Notes receivable 33,900
Cr Sales revenue 33,900
Explanation:
Non interest bearing notes must be recorded at present value, so we need to determine the present value of the payment:
Payment due December 21, 2021, PV = $33,900 / (1 + 8%) = $31,389
Payment due December 21, 2022, PV = $33,900 / (1 + 8%)² = $29,064
We use the discount on notes receivable account (contra asset account) to decrease the net value of notes receivable.
Alpha Company has sales revenue of $5,000,000, cost of goods sold of $2,000,000, and net income of $750,000. For the last three years, the company has 1,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 200,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The company does not have any preferred stock. What is basic EPS for Alpha Company
Answer:
The basic EPS for Alpha Company is $3.75 per share
Explanation:
The earnings per share are the net income for the year divided by the weighted average number of common stock issued and outstanding.
Net income here belongs to only common stockholders since the company has no debt finance nor preferred stock.
the net income is $750,000
The weighted average number of common stock issued and outstanding is 200,000
earnings per share=$750,000/200,000=$3.75 per share

It is known by a lot of workers who are aquainted with their working ethics logs even if you’re not given a written contract, you are entitled to a written statement that contain your main employment terms. This basically gives you details of your:
*job title
*pay
*hours of work
*access to in work benefits such as sick pay and holiday entitlement.

Most companies are unlikely to intentionally provide shoddy, harmful, or unsafe products because _______. A. they want to develop long-term relationships with customers B. it costs more to provide quality products C. they know that customers will shrug off errors for a while D. they won't face liability lawsuits and expensive awards for damages E. they are confident they can appease consumer groups and regulators
Answer:
Most companies are unlikely to intentionally provide shoddy, harmful, or unsafe products because they want to develop long-term relationships with customers.
Option: (A)
Explanation:
The merit of a company is determined by the end consumers based on the quality of the products that the company manufactures.Though other factors like timely delivery of the product, the soundness of the distribution channel put to work by the company, a prompt feedback system, etc., are also important for developing long-term relationships with customers, they do not play a role as significant as the 'quality' of the product. Only if the quality of the product delivered by the company is unparalleled, it is subject to gain the trust of its customers and build better relationships with them.The majority of companies deliberately provide damaging or inferior products because:
A). They want to develop long-term relationships with customers.
Several companies intentionally deliver poor-quality products to the customers and the key reason behind this is that they aim to develop long-term associations with the customers. They do it by providing effective customer support to the customers and opportunities for home pick-up exchange or return of the product without any additional charges. This helps them develop customers' trust in their company which will help open the gateway for more future orders from them.Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Activists believe that ________. it takes a very long time to reach the long run frictions to the self-correcting mechanism of markets prevent prices and wages from being very flexible Keynes was right with his statement "in the long-run, we are all dead" all of the above none of the above
Answer: All of the above
Explanation:
The Long run is a period of time where all the factors of production of a firm are variable. For example, a firm can establish a bigger factory. It takes a longer period of time than the short run.
John Maynard Keynes also believed that in the long run, we are all dead. Also, an economy will self-correct because shocks matter in the short run and not the long run. The self-correction mechanism talks about price adjustment. When there is a shock, prices will adjust and the economy will be brought back to the long-run equilibrium.
Answer:
All of the above.
Explanation:
Activism is used in both politically and also in academic research. Its usage academically means only the willingness of a judge to strike down the action of a certain branch of government or to overturn a judicial precedent, with no implied judgment as to whether the activist decision is correct or not.
Therefore in the scenario above, activism totally believes that it takes a very long time to reach the long run. Their research also welcomes that frictions to the self-correcting mechanism of markets prevent prices and wages from being very flexible. And aslo that Keynes was right with his statement "in the long-run, we are all dead".
Suppose Big Bank offers an interest rate of 10.0% on both savings and loans, and Bank Enn offers an interest rate of 10.5% on both savings and loans. a. What profit opportunity is available? b. Which bank would experience a surge in the demand for loans? Which bank would receive a surge in deposits? c. What would you expect to happen to the interest rates the two banks are offering? a. What profit opportunity is available? A. Take a loan from Big Bank at 10.0% and save the money in Bank Enn at 10.5%. B. Take a loan from Bank Enn at 10.5% and save the money in Big Bank at 10.0%. C. Take a loan from Big Bank at 10.5% and save the money in Big Bank at 10.0%. D. Save at both banks.
Answer:
Option A. Take a loan from Big Bank at 10.0% and save the money in Bank Enn at 10.5%.
Explanation:
Take a loan from Big Bank and deposit in Bank Enn. This activity can lead to a profit of 0.5% on the amount.
Assuming you take a Loan of $3000 from Big Bank at 10% interest rate. Present cash in hand is $3000 and the interest to be paid will be 10% of $3000 which is $300 every period.
If you deposit this amount with Bank Enn who pays an interest of 10.5%. You will receive $315 (10.5% of $3000) every period.
Doing this, you have a gain of $15 by the gap in the interest rates.
Enviro Company issues 8%, 10-year bonds with a par value of $250,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 10%, which implies a selling price of 87 ½. The straight-line method is used to allocate interest expense. 1. Using the implied selling price of 87 ½, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds? 2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds? 3. What is the amount of bond interest expense recorded on the first interest payment date?
Answer: 1. $218750 ; 2. $231, 250 ; 3. $11562.50
Explanation:
1. The bonds with a par value of $250,000 and implied selling price of 87 ½.
Cash proceed = 250,000 × 87.5%
= $218,750
2. Since it's semiannual interest payments, the total amount of bond interest expense that will be recognized over the life of these bonds will be:
[20 × (250,000 × 8% × 6/12)]+ $250,000 - $218,750
= $200,000 + $250,000 - $218,750
= $231, 250
3. The amount of bond interest expense recorded on the first interest payment date will be:
= Total bond interest expense/number of payments
= $231,250/20
= $11562.50
1. The issuer cash proceed should be $218,750.
2. The total amount of bond interest expense is $231,250.
3 The amount of bond interest expense is $11,562.50.
The calculation is as follows:1. Cash proceed = 250,000 × 87.5%
= $218,750
2. The total amount of bond interest expense is
= [20 × (250,000 × 8% × 6/12)]+ $250,000 - $218,750
= $200,000 + $250,000 - $218,750
= $231, 250
3. The amount of bond interest expense is
= Total bond interest expense ÷ number of payments
= $231,250 ÷ 20
= $11,562.50
Therefore we can conclude that
1. The issuer cash proceed should be $218,750.
2. The total amount of bond interest expense is $231,250.
3 The amount of bond interest expense is $11,562.50.

Farmers rotate their crops between corn and soybean to increase crop yields. This behavior exhibits a. Economies of scale b. Diseconomies of scale c. Economies of scope d. Diseconomies of scope
Answer:
c. Economies of scope
Explanation:
In business, economies of scope refers to producing more than one product or service because you can earn higher profits by diversifying your production. The cost of producing these products together or one after another is lower or yields more benefits than producing them separately.
In agriculture economies of scope refers to producing as many different crops as you can on the same fields. In the case of soybean and corn (or wheat), the crops are rotated because each crop required different nutrients from the soil.
