Answers

Answer 1

Multiple Choice

A. The hair salons will be forced to move to a less demanding neighborhood.

B. The hair salons will be taken over by competitors in the area.

C. The hair salons will stay in business, and customers will adapt to their services and products.

D. The hair salons will be converted into a different type of business that can succeed in this area.

E. The hair salons will go out of business.

Answer:

Option B. The hair salons will be taken over by competitors in area.

Explanation:

The reason is that when the quality of the product that the seller promised is not delivered the customer satisfaction level drops significantly and thus moves towards the other seller which results in the loss of the customer. So this means if the business is not delivering the desired quality then it will keep loosing business customers because the competitor will take over the lost business.

Kalen is a seventeen-year-old minor who has just graduated from high school. He is attending a university two hundred miles from home and has contracted to rent an apartment near the university for one year at $500 per month. He is working at a convenience store to earn enough income to be self-supporting. After living in the apartment and paying monthly rent for four months, he becomes involved in a dispute with his landlord. Kalen, still a minor, moves out and returns the key to the landlord. The landlord wants to hold Kalen liable for the balance of the payments due under the lease. Discuss fully Kalen's liability in this situation.

Answers

Answer:

Kalen is not liable to pay the eight months remaining under the lease,

Explanation:

Kalen is not liable to pay the eight months remaining under the lease, since he has legally disaffirmed from the contract by giving the keys back to the landlord. He is not to be bound to the contract. He can disaffirm the contract but remains liable for the value of goods he used (4 months).

The landlord cannot hold him liable for the remaining payment because As a minor Kalen does not have the legal capacity to enter into a contract except in sport or entertainment. Minors are not bestowed civil or political rights because the law says they are too young to handle these responsibilities.

According to the law a contract is valid when both parties have the legal capacity to enter into the contract. Otherwise it is void. Therefore Kalen owes no liability to her landlord

Required 2:

Prepare the Production Department's flexible budget for the month.

Answers

Answer:

A)$148,300

B)$143,800

Explanation:

Production department planning budget :

Budgeted labor hours = 4200

Direct labor $16.20(4200) = $68040

Indirect labor $4,300+$1.70(4200) = $11440

Utilities $5,600+$0.70(4200) = $8540

Supplies $1,400+$0.20(4200) = $2240

Equipment depreciation $18,400+$2.90(4200) = $30580

Factory rent $8,200

Property taxes $2,700

Factory administration $13,200+$0.80(4200) = $16560

Total - $(68040+11440+8540+2240+30580+8200+2700+16560) = $148,300

2.) Flexible budget for the month :

Actual labor hours = 4000

Direct labor $16.20(4000) = $64800

Indirect labor $4,300+$1.70(4000) = $11100

Utilities $5,600+$0.70(4000) = $8400

Supplies $1,400+$0.20(4000) = $2200

Equipment depreciation $18,400+$2.90(4000) = $30000

Factory rent $8,200

Property taxes $2,700

Factory administration $13,200+$0.80(4000) = $16400

Total cost - $(64800+11100+8400+2200+30000+8200+2700+16400) = $143,800

Answer: The full employment of all available resources.

Explanation:

When a company is said to be Productively Efficient, it means that they are employing all available resources and no resource is being wasted.

Suppose a firm that produces pints of gourmet ice cream has monthly fixed costs of $12,000. The variable costs come to $1.50 per pint produced. (for up to 40,000 pints/month) and the firm sells each pint of ice cream for $3. Find the firm's profit function.

Answers

Answer:

P(x)=1.5x-12,000

Explanation:

The profit function equation is:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(X)= Profit

R(x)= Revenue= 3x

C(x)= cost= fixed costs+variable costs=12,000+1.50x

x= number of pints of ice cream

Then, you can replace the equation with the information given:

P(x)=3x-(12,000+1.50x)

P(x)= 3x-12,000-1.5x

P(x)=1.5x-12,000

According to this, the answer is that the firm's profit function is P(x)=1.5x-12,000.

Answer:

$48,000

Explanation:

The Profit function shows the relationship between the total costs and total revenue accrued in a business. It is given by the formula;

Product Function=Total revenue - Total costs.

The fixed costs in a business are those expenses that must be taken care of no matter the level of production. Variable costs however are dependent on the output of the company.

For the firm producing Gourmet ice-cream,

Total Revenue= $3*40000 pints/month = $120,000

Total costs=Fixed cost +Variable costs

= $12,000 + $40000*(1.5)

= $12,000 + $60,000

= $72000

Therefore,

Product Function= $120,000 - $72000

= $48000

Answers

Answer:

The government should choose policies  to maximize the total utility of everyone  in society - Utilitarianism

The central goal of Utilitarianism is simply to maximize everyone's benefit (or utility) in society.

The government should choose policies deemed to be just, as evaluated by an  impartial observer behind a "veil of ignorance." - Liberalism

This is the central idea of a "Theory of Justice", a book written by John Rawls. This idea has come to represent the ethical justification behind the redistributive philosophy of liberals.

The government should punish crimes and enforce voluntary agreements, but not redistribute income - Libertarianism

Libertarians believed that income redistribution by the government is unfair because the government takes income from the some people without their consent, and gives it to other people. Libertarians support private charity instead.

Suppose that Ginny believes that the progressive U.S. tax system is flawed because it supports equality of outcomes rather than equality of opportunity. Which re-distributive philosophy is consistent with Ginny's view?

Both liberalism and libertarianism can be ascribed to Ginny's view. Liberals and libertarians do not support equality of outcome, they support equality of opportunity.

The difference lies in the degree of inequality that they are able to tolerate: liberals only tolerate inequality up to a certain port, while libertarians do not really have a problem with inequality as long as it is the result of market outcomes.

The utilitarian theory states that the government should choose policies that enhance the total utility of everyone in society.

Utilitarianism's central aim is to maximize everyone's benefit (or utility) in society.

The government should implement policies that are deemed just by an impartial observer operating behind a "veil of ignorance." - Sensitivity

This is the central concept in Robert Rawls' work, "Theory of Justice." This system has come to represent liberals' ethical rationale for their redistributive worldview.

Modern liberalism believes the government should punish crimes and enforce voluntary agreements, but not redistribute income.

Libertarians found that government income redistribution was unjust because it takes the money from some people against their agreement and distributes it to others. Instead, libertarians advocate for private philanthropy.

Ginny's views can be attributed to feminism and libertarianism. Liberals and libertarians believe in inequality rather than equality of result.

The difference would be in the degree of inequality they can tolerate: liberals could only accept disparity up to a certain amount, but libertarians do not even mind injustice as long as it's the product of market results.

d. The annual financial advantage from processing Product Y further is $2.000

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is D,the annual financial advantage from processing Product Y further is $2.000

Explanation:

The decision of whether or not to further to process product Y is dependent upon the benefit that is derivable from further processing which is computed using the below formula:

benefit/(cost) of further processing=sales value after processing-cost of further processing-sales value at split-off point

sales value after processing is $68,000

additional cost of further processing is $16,000

sales value at split-off point is $50,000

benefit/(cost)=$68,000-$16,000-$50,000=$2,000

Avoidable Expenses Unavoidable Expenses
Cost of goods sold $56,000
Direct expenses 9,250 $1,250
Indirect expenses 470 1,600
Service department costs 6,000 1,430

Should the division be eliminated?

Answers

Answer:

If the Division is eliminated, income will decrease by $280

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= $72,000

Expenses= $76,000 sales.

Avoidable Expenses - Unavoidable Expenses

Cost of goods sold: $56,000

Direct expenses: 9,250 - $1,250

Indirect expenses: 470 - 1,600

Service department costs: 6,000 - 1,430

We need to determine if eliminating the Division will increase income.

Current loss= $4,000

Effect on income= unavoidable costs - current loss

Effect on income= -(1,250 + 1,600 + 1,430) + 4,000

Effect on income= $280 decrease

January 1 of this year, a Company completed the following transactions (assume a 9% annual interest rate):
Bought a delivery truck and agreed to pay $60,400 at the end of three years. Rented an office building and was given the option of paying $10,400 at the end of each of the next three years or paying $28,400 immediately. Established a savings account by depositing a single amount that will increase to $90,800 at the end of seven years. Decided to deposit a single sum in the bank that will provide 9 equal annual year-end payments of $40,400 to a retired employee (payments starting December 31 of this year).
What is the cost of the truck that should be recorded at the time of purchase?
Which option for the office building results in the lowest present value?

Answers

Answer:

The cost of the truck that should be recorded at the time of purchase is $46,639

Paying installment is the best option

Explanation:

In order to Calculate the cost of the truck that should be recorded at the time of purchase we need find out present value of future amount of 60,400 with the following formula:

PV=FV/(1+i)^n

FV = Future value

i = interest rate

n = No of years

By applying the formula = 60,400/(1+.09)^3

PV= $46,639

Therefore, $46,639 should be recorded as a cost of truck.

Paying installment is better option than paying lump sum amount of $28,400 as present value of installment method ($26,322 as per below table) is less than immediate payment amount.

PV of installment method

Year          installment method          PV Factor            PV

Sporting Goods Sports Apparel rev: 12_07_2016_QC_CS-

Answers

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

1. When using Vertical Analysis, every item in the Income statement is depicted as a percentage of sales.

Sporting Goods Vertical Analysis

Net Sales = 1,800,00/1,800,000 = 100%

Cost of Goods Sold = 1,040,000/1,800,000 = 57.7%

Gross Profit = 760,000 /1,800,000 = 42.2%

Operating Expenses = 450,000 /1,800,000 = 25%

Operating Income = 310,000/1,800,000 = 17.2%

Other Income (Expense) =  20,000 /1,800,000 = 1.1%

Income before tax = 330,000 /1,800,000 = 18.3%

Income tax Expense = 80,000/1,800,000 = 4.4%

Net Income = 250,000/1,800,000 = 13.9%

Sports Apparel Vertical Analysis

Net Sales = 970,000/970,000 = 100%

Cost of Goods Sold = 440,000/970,000 = 45.4%

Gross Profit = 530,000/970,000 = 54.6%

Operating Expenses = 340,000/970,000 = 35.0%

Operating Income = 190,000/970,000 = 19.6%

Other Income (Expense) = 15,000/970,000 = 1.54%

Income before tax = 175,000/970,000 = 18.0%

Income tax Expense = 70,000/970,000 = 7.2%

Net Income = 105,000/970,000 = 10.8%

2. Comparison using Vertical Analysis

Sporting Goods earn a higher net income than Sport Apparel due to them paying a lower tax.Sports Apparel earns a higher Gross Profit than Sporting Goods due to them having a lower Cost of Goods sold. Sports Apparel have higher Operating Expenses than Sporting Goods but still have a higher Operating Income.

plans to retain and reinvest all of its earnings for the next 30 years. beiginning in year 31, the firm will begin to pay $12 per share dividend. the dividend will increase at a 6% rate annually thereafter. given a required return of 15% what the stock should sell for today

Answers

Answer:

The stock should sell for = $2.01

Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.  

The model is given as  

P = D× g/(r-g)  

P- stock value, g- growth rate , r-m required rate of return

PV of dividend in year 30 = 12/(0.15- 0.06)=133.3333333

PV of dividend in year in year 0 = 133.3333333  × 1.15^(-30)= 2.01

The stock should sell for = $2.01

An individual wants to have $95,000 per year to live on when she retires in 30 years. The individual is planning on living for 20 years after retirement. If the investor can earn 6% during her retirement years and 10% during her working years, how much should she be saving during her working life

Answers

Answer:

The amount she would be saving during her working life is  $1,089,64 and the deposit required for each year is $6,624.21

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The amount of income needed for retirement income = P×[1-(1÷(1+r)^n)]÷r

Now,

The Interest rate per annum  =6.00%

The Number of years = 2

The Number of compoundings per annum  = 1

The Interest rate per period ( r)=6.00%      

The period per payment (P)=$ 95,000

The Amount required for retirement income = 95000*[1-(1/(1+6%)^95000]/6% =$1,089,643        

Now,

Required deposit for every year (P)=FVA÷([(1+r)^n-1]÷r)

The Interest rate per annum = 10.00%

The Number of years= 30                                          

The number payments per per annum =1                                       The Interest rate per period ( r)=10.00%

The Number of periods (n)=30

Thus,

The Future value of annuity (FVA) = $1,089,643  

Hence the deposit required for each year is = 1089643/(((1+10%)^30-1)/10%)

= $6,624.21

Answers

Answer:

Production budget = 18,000 units

Material budget(units) :

Material A    = 18,500 gallons

Material B =   18,000 pounds

Material budget($)        $36,500

Explanation:

The production budget = Sales + closing inventory - opening inventory

                 = 20,000 + 1000 - 3000= 18,000 units.

Production budget = 18,000 units

Material budget(units) :

Material budget = Material usage + closing inventory - opening inventory

Material A    =( 18,000× 1 ) + 1000- 500= 18,500 gallons

Material B =     (18,000× 1)  + 1000 - 1000 = 18,000 pounds

Material budget($) :

Material A =  18,500 gallons × $2 per gallon =  $18,500

Material B =  18,000 pounds × $1 per pound =   $18,000

Total                                                                       $36,500

On December 31, 2021, Larry's Used Cars had balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts of $53,600 and $1,325, respectively. During 2022, Larry's wrote off $1,465 in accounts receivable and determined that there should be an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $1,280 at December 31, 2022. Bad debt expense for 2022 would be:

Answers

Answer:

$1,420

Explanation:

The computation of the bad debt expense is shown below:

As we know that

Ending balance of allowance for uncollectible accounts = Beginning balance of allowance for uncollectible accounts + bad debt expense - written off amount

$1,280 = $1,325 + bad debt expense - $1,465

So, the bad debt expense for the year 2022 is $1,420

Basically we applied the above formula to find out the bad debt expense

Marpor Industries has no debt and expects to generate free cash flows of $16 million each year. Marpor believes that if it permanently increases its level of debt to $40 ​million, the risk of financial distress may cause it to lose some customers and receive less favorable terms from its suppliers. As a​ result, Marpor's expected free cash flows with debt will be only $15 million per year. Suppose​ Marpor's tax rate is 35%​, the​ risk-free rate is 5%​, the expected return of the market is 15%​, and the beta of​ Marpor's free cash flows is 1.1 ​(with or without​ leverage). a. Estimate​ Marpor's value without leverage. b. Estimate​ Marpor's value with the new leverage.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a.  Marpor's value without leverage is

But before that first we have to calculate the required rate of return which is

The Required rate of return = Risk Free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium

= 5% + 1.1 × (15% - 5%)

= 16%

Now without leverage is

= Free cash flows generates ÷ required rate of return

= $16,000,000 ÷ 16%

= $100,000,000

b. And, with the new leverage is

= (Free cash flows with debt ÷ required rate of return) + (Tax rate × increase of debt)

= ($15,000,000 ÷ 0.16) + (0.35 × $40,000,000)

= $93,750,000 + $14,000,000

= $107,750,000

Jones Manufacturing Inc. purchases a component from a Chilean supplier. The demand for that component is exactly 70 units each day. The company is open for business 250 days each year. When the company reorders the product, the lead time from the supplier is exactly 10 days. The product costs $14.00. The company determined that its inventory carrying cost is 20 percent. The company's order cost is $30.00. If the company decides to order 1,750 units each time it places an order, what will be the total annual cost of this policy? (Do not include the product cost in your answer.)

Answers

Answer:

$2750

Explanation:

Given that:

Demand for the component = 70 units each day.

Opening days in a year = 250

Reorder time rate = 10 dyas

Cost of product = $14.00

Carrying cost = 20% = 0.2

Order cost = $30.00

So if the company decides to order 1,750 units each time it places an order, the objective of this question is to find the total annual cost of this policy.

The total annual cost = total inventory cost + total ordering cost

where:

Total inventory cost  = (ordering quantity/2)*unit holding cost

Total inventory cost  = (1750/2) × (0.2 × 14)

Total inventory cost  = 2450

Total ordering cost = (annual demand/ordering quantity) × ordering cost

Total ordering cost =  (70 × 250/1750) × 30

Total ordering cost = ( 70 × 0.1428571429) × 30

Total ordering cost ≅ 300

Total annual cost = 2450 + 300

Total annual cost = $2750

Give two examples of pseudo coelomate animals. Look at the excerpt of informational text. Which of the following is a heading?What Causes Tides?The daily rise and fall of Earths waters on its coastlines are called tides. As the tide comes in, the level of the water on the beach rises gradually. When the water reaches its highest point, it is high tide. Then the tide goes out, flowing back toward the sea. When the water reaches its lowest point, it is low tide. Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun.Neap Tides In between spring tides, at the first and third quarters of the moon, the sun and moon pull at right angles to each other. This line-up produces a neap tide, a tide with the least difference between low and high tide. During a neap tide, the suns gravity pulls some of the water away from the tidal bulge facing the moon.
