Fredrick works for Vision, a billboard advertising agency, which hires billboards from owners on behalf of clients. Fredrick routinely accepts pay- offs from billboard owners in exchange for referring their billboards to clients. This behaviour could result in his dismissal from Vision, if found out. Which statement is Fredrick most probably utilizing to rationalize his actions?
a. "It's not really illegal."
b. "It's in everyone's best interests."
c. "No one will ever know about it."
d. "The organization will stand behind me."
e. "I cannot be held responsible."

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. It is in everyone's best interests

Explanation:

Fredrick works for Vision, a billboard advertising agency. This agency specializes in hiring billboards from owners on behalf of clients. Simply put, Vision, an advertising agency, matches the need of its clients with the provision of billboards obtained from owners of such.

Fredrick works for the firm, and the implication is that, he's an agent of the agency firm, and the advertising firm is the Principal. The action of Fredrick routinely accepting pay-offs from the billboards owners contravenes this arrangement. Fredrick is thus acting parallel in line with his Principal.

It is thus worthy of note that Fredrick could only rationalize this action because he believes he is servicing the needs of the advertising agency and also the billboards owners. In his wisdom, everyone's objective is being made, bar the moral implications and obligations.

So, among the options enlisted, option B is the plausible answer.

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:

Answers

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

Answers

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.

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.

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

Answers

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".

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.

Answers

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.

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.

Answers

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.

Answers

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.

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?

Answers

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.

Answers

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

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

Answers

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.

Ellen's tax client, Tom, is employed at a large company that offers health care flexible spending accounts to its employees.

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?

Answers

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.

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 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.

Northwest Catering owns and operates several restaurant services in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. One restaurant chain has experienced sharply declining profits. The company's management has decided to test the operational assets for possible impairment. The relevant information for these assets is presented:Book value $4.3 millionEstimated total future cash flows 5.4 millionFair value 3.0 million. Determine the amount of the impairment loss, if any.

Answers

Answer:

1.3 million  Impaired asset is the determined amount

Explanation:

Asset impaired as the estimated fair value cash flows is lower than book value

Impairment loss = Fair value - Book value  

= 3.0 million - 4.3 million

= 1.3 million Impaired asset

An impaired asset is an asset that has a market value less than the value which was disclosed on the organisation balance sheet. When an asset is said to be impaired, it will need to be written down on the company's balance sheet to its current market value.

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

Answers

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

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.

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.

Choose the most accurate statement concerning the workplace: If wages conform with the law, they are fair wages. Employers have no obligation to dismiss workers as painlessly as possible. An employer's financial capabilities affect what constitutes a fair wage scale for that employer's employees. All instances of nepotism raise serious moral concerns.

Answers

Answer:

An employer's financial capabilities affect what constitutes a fair wage scale for that employer's employees.

Explanation:

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.

That is why in the written statements above, it is noted that an employer's financial capabilities affect what constitutes a fair wage scale for that employer's employees. This is because, no matter your employment status, if you’re working, you are entitled to an employment contract.

These contracts at some points could be verbal agreements, though they have the same legal authority and can sometimes be hard to prove.

The most accurate statement concerning the workplace among the options provided is: An employer's financial capabilities affect what constitutes a fair wage scale for that employer's employees. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

This statement acknowledges that an employer's financial capabilities play a role in determining what can be considered a fair wage scale for their employees.

Different employers may have varying financial capacities, and they may need to take into account factors such as the industry, market conditions, and their own financial situation when setting wages. Fairness in wages is subjective and can be influenced by these factors.

Answers

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.

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

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?

Answers

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
