Answer: The student should deposit= $3,272.40
Explanation:
The formula we need to use is
FV = P ( 1 + rt )
where:
F V = the future value.
P = the principal amount.
r= the rate of interest. = `12%= 0.12
t= time in years. = 4/12= 1/3 =O.3333
FV = P ( 1 + rt )
$3,400 = P (1 + 0.12 X 0.3333)
$3,400 = P (1 + 0.039)
$3,400 = P (1.039)
P= 3400 /1.039= $3,272.40

Recent research indicates that it may take only a few minutes to prevent unethical behavior. When workers face a choice between right and
wrong, they are about five times more likely to make the unethical choice when the decision is rushed.* Think about times in your life when you faced a moral decision and made the wrong choice. Did you feel rushed to make the decision? If you had taken more time to think or consult an ethical colleague, would you have made a different decision? (5-7 sentences )
Answer:
I had once visited a client and he, unusually, offered me a complimentary tip. Somewhere at the back of my mind, it felt off. So I declined. He on the other hand persisted.
Because I wanted to round up the meeting, I eventually accepted and left.
The next day was our weekly in-house academy - a day of the week when we set aside about 2 hours for learning and re-learning.
At that meeting, the HR Executive did a reminder on the value of the organisation, as well as the ethics which guide our operations. There she mentioned categorically that it was prohibited by the company to accept any type of cash gifts from the client or from the insurance companies.
As, soon as the meeting was done, I reported myself to the HR Executive and she advised that I return it and I did immediately, thankfully, the exact note was still in my possession.
I wrote a letter to the client respectfully returning the gift on the grounds that company policy forbade it and that marked the end of that episode.
If I had the company blueprint on ethics at my fingertips, I would have insisted on my initial position not to take the gift.
Cheers

The company provided $8,200,000 of services in June and received full payment in July. Royal also incurred expenses of $2,645,000 in June that were paid in August. During June, Royal paid its shareholders cash dividends of $490,000. What was the company's income before income taxes for the two months ended July 31 under the following methods of accounting
Answer:
Cash Basis= $8,200,000
Accrual Basis= $5,555,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the company's income before income taxes for the two months ended July 31
Based on the information given we were told that the company provided the amount of $8,200,000 of services in the month of June and received full payment of the amount in the month of July which means that the CASH BASIS will be $8,200,000
Cash Basis= $8,200,000
Calculation for Accrual Basis
Using this formula
Accrual Basis= Cash received - Incurred expenses
Accrual Basis= $8,200,000-$2,645,000
Accrual Basis= $5,555,000
Therefore the company's income before income taxes for the two months ended July 31 under the Cash Basis and Accrual Basis methods of accounting will be :
Cash Basis= $8,200,000
Accrual Basis= $5,555,000

What is the company's unit contribution margin?
a. $4.20 per unit.b. $0.22 per unit.c. $2.20 per unit.d. $2.00 per unit.
Answer:
Unitary contribution margin= $2.2
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Tons of cement produced and sold 240,000
Sales revenue $1,008,000
Variable manufacturing expense $439,000
Variable selling and administrative expense $41,000
First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 1,008,000 - 439,000 - 41,000
Total contribution margin= $528,000
Now, the unitary contribution margin:
unitary contribution margin= 528,000/240,000
unitary contribution margin= $2.2
Suppose that real GDP grew more in Country A than in Country B last year.
a. Country A must have a higher standard of living than country B.
b. Country A's worker productivity must have grown faster than country B's.
c. Both of the above are correct.
d. None of the above are correct.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
The standard of living is calculated as real GDP / population. Even though the real GDP of country A grew faster than country B, country A's population might be higher than country B's making its standard of living lower.
To make a conclusion that the growth of country A's worker productivity grew faster, it must be assumed that population grew at the same rate in both countries

Acme-Jones Corporation uses a weighted-average perpetual inventory system. August 2, 40 units were purchased at $27 per unit. August 18, 24 units were purchased at $29 per unit. August 29, 42 units were sold. What was the amount of the cost of goods sold for this sale?
Answer:Cost of goods sold=$1,165.5
Explanation:
Using the weighted-average perpetual inventory system.
August 2 =40 units x $27per unit = $1080
August 18=24units x $29 per unit = $696
Weighted average cost per unit = (1080 + 696)/64 = $27.75per unit
Therefore, Cost of goods sold = $27.75 x 42 = $1,165.5
Discussion #6 - Inventory Methods (due Thurs/Sun) 1010 unread replies.1010 replies. The following is an excerpt from a conversation between Paula Marlo, the warehouse manager for Musick Foods Wholesale Co., and its accountant, Mike Hayes. Musick Foods operates a large regional warehouse that supplies produce and other grocery products to grocery stores in smaller communities. Paula: Mike, can you explain what's going on here with these monthly statements? Mike: Sure, Paula. How can I help you? Paula: I don't understand this last-in, first-out inventory procedure. It just doesn't make sense. Mike: Well, what it means is that we assume that the last goods we receive are the first ones sold. So the inventory consists of the items we purchased first. Paula: Yes, but that's my problem. It doesn't work that way! We always distribute the oldest produce first. Some of that produce is perishable! We can't keep any of it very long or it'll spoil. Mike: Paula, you don't understand. We only assume that the products we distribute are the last ones received. We don't actually have to distribute the goods in this way. Paula: I always thought that accounting was supposed to show what really happened. It all sounds like "make believe" to me! Why not report what really happens?
Answer:
Musick Foods Wholesale Co. is permitted by the US GAAP to use the LIFO (Last In, First Out) inventory valuation method. The use of LIFO offers Musick and other firms the opportunity to save on taxes as well as better match their revenue to their latest costs when prices are rising.
Explanation:
Using LIFO method of measuring the value of inventory, the costs of the most recent products purchased (or produced) by Musick Foods are the first to be expensed. It is not that in practice, those costs expensed refer to the units being sold first, it is merely an assumption permitted by the US FASB under her generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Marr Co. had the following sales and accounts receivable balances, prior to any adjustments at year end: Credit sales $10,000,000 Accounts receivable 3,000,000 Allowance for uncollectible accounts (debit balance) 50,000 Marr uses 3% of accounts receivable to determine its allowance for uncollectible accounts at year end. By what amount should Marr adjust its allowance for uncollectible accounts at year end
Answer:
$140,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Ending allowance for uncollectible accounts is
= Accounts receivable × Given percentage
= $3,000,000 × 3%
= $90,000
Now the
Adjusted balance is
= Ending allowance for uncollectible accounts + debit balance of Allowance for uncollectible accounts
= $90,000 + $50,000
= $140,000
If the liabilities of a company increased $110,000 during a period of time and equity in the company decreased $37,000 during the same period, what was the effect on the assets?
Answer:
Increase of $73,000
Explanation:
As we know that
The accounting equation is
Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
So it can be said that
Change in Assets = Change in Liabilities + Change in Owner's Equity
Change in Assets = Increase of $110,000 + Decrease of $37,000
Change in Assets = Increase of $73,000
hence, the impact of the asset is $73,000 and the same is to be considered
A firm has fixed operating costs of $10,000, the sale price per unit of its product is $25, and its variable cost per unit is $15. The firm's operating breakeven point in units is ________ and its breakeven point in dollars is ________.
A) 1,000; $6,250.
B) 400; $10,000.
C) 400; $25,000.
D) 1,000; $25,000.
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $10,000
Selling price= $25
Unitary variable cost= $15
To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 10,000 / (25 - 15)
Break-even point in units= 1,000
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 10,000 / (10/25)
Break-even point (dollars)= $25,000
Answer:
D) 1,000; $25,000.
Explanation:
Let us assume the company produces x units. The total cost is:
Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost × number of items = $10000 + 15 × x = 10000 + 15x
The revenue = number of unit × price per unit = x × $25 = 25x
At breakeven, the revenue and cost are equal, therefore:
25x = 10000 + 15x
25x - 15x = 10000
10x = 10000
x = 10000/10
x = 1000 units
The price at breakeven point = 25x = 25(1000) = $25000
Big Box Store has operated with a 30% average gross profit ratio for a number of years. It had $107,000 in sales during the second quarter of this year. If it began the quarter with $18,700 of inventory at cost and purchased $72,700 of inventory during the quarter, its estimated ending inventory by the gross profit method is:
Answer:
$16,500
Explanation:
The computation of the estimated ending inventory is given below:
As We know that
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchase made - ending inventory
And, the
Sales - gross profit = Cost of goods sold
So,
$107,000 - $107,000 × 30% = Cost of goods sold
Therefore, the cost of goods sold is
= $107,000 - $32,100
= $74,900
And, finally the ending inventory is
$74,900 = $18,700 + $72,700 - ending inventory
$74,900 = $91,400 - ending inventory
So, the ending inventory is
= $91,400 - $74,900
= $16,500

Answer:
1. Actual return on Plat assets
= Ending plan assets - beginning assets - employer contribution + retirees payment
= 2,591 - 2,400 - 245 + 270
= $216,000
2. Gain(loss) on plan assets
= Actual return - expected return
= 216,000 - (10% * 2,400,000-beginning assets)
= ($24,000) loss
3. Service cost
= Ending Projected benefit obligation - Beginning Projected benefit obligation - Interest cost + Retiree benefits
= 2,501 - 2,300 - (7% * 2,300) + 264
= $304,000
4. Pension expense
= Interest cost + expected return + Amortization of prior service cost + amortization of net gain + Service cost
= Interest cost + expected return + (beginning prior service cost - ending prior cost) + (Beginning net gain - ending net gain - loss on plan asset) + Service cost
= (7% * 2,300) + 240 + (325 - 300) + (330 - 300 - 24) + 304
= $736,000
5. Average remaining service life of active employees
= (Beginning Net gain - expected return) / Amortization of net gain
= (330 - 300) / (330 - 300 - 24)
= 5 years
If a check correctly written and paid by the bank for $649 is incorrectly recorded on the company's books for $694, the appropriate treatment on the bank reconciliation would be to
Answer: Add $45 to the book balance
Explanation:
This is a case of bank reconciliation. Bank reconciliation occurs when the account of the bank and the company or Business are compared in order to check the differences which are then reconciled.
In this case, since the check written and paid by the bank is $649 while in the company's book, it's written as $694, then a book balance of $45 is added which is the difference between $694 and $649
Assume that interest rate parity exists. The spot rate of the Argentine peso is $0.42. The one-year interest rate in the United States is 7 percent versus 12 percent in Argentina. Assume the futures price is equal to the forward rate. An investor purchased futures contracts on Argentine pesos, representing a total of 1,000,000 pesos. Determine the total dollar amount of profit or loss from this futures contract based on the expectation that the Argentine peso will be worth $0.46 in one year. Use a minus sign to enter a loss, if any. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
$58,750
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the total dollar amount of profit or loss from this futures contract
First step is to find the Forward premium
Forward premium = (1 + .07)/ (1 + .12) -1
Forward premium= -.04464
Second step is to find the Forward rate
Forward rate = $.42 x (1 - .044640)
Forward rate=$.42×0.95536
Forward rate= $.40125
Last step is to find the profit
Profit = ($.46 - $.40125) × 1,000,000
Profit=0.05875× 1,000,000
Profit = $58,750
Therefore the total dollar amount of profit from this futures contract will be $58,750
Joe is considering 2 similar bonds, with the only difference that: (1) a tax-exempt municipal bond promises a 5.625% annual return, (2) a taxable corporate bond promises a 7.5% annual return. If Joe's tax rate is 25%, which bond should he buy?
a. Either one, both have the same after-tax yield
b. Municipal bond, as it has a higher after-tax yield
c. Corporate bond, as it has a higher after-tax yield
d. Not enough information is given to answer the question
Answer:
a. Either one, both have the same after-tax yield
Explanation:
we have to calculate the after tax return of the bonds:
after tax return of corporate bonds = bond yield x (1 - tax rate) = 7.5% x (1 - 25%) = 7.5% x 0.75 = 5.625%
since municipal bonds are not included as part of Joe's gross income, their after tax rate is equal to their yield = 5.625%
both bonds yield the same after tax return = 5.625%
Comparing with unemployment rate with employment rate, which of the following is NOT correct? a. Unemployment rate takes the group of "out of labor force" into account. b. Compared with unemployment rate, employment rate is better because it concerns the hidden unemployment in the out of labor force group. c. Compared with employment rate, unemployment rate in a labor market usually has a larger variation. d. It has limitation because some policy shocks unrelated to unemployment or labor market situation such changes in fertility and school enrollment rates, will affect the number of the employment rate as well.
Answer:
b. Compared with unemployment rate, employment rate is better because it concerns the hidden unemployment in the out of labor force group.
Explanation:
Remember, the employment rate is used to determine the degree to which the labor force (people willing to work) in a particular economy are able to find work.
Hence, it does not concern itself or takes into account the hidden unemployment in the out of the labor force group, but only those people willing to work are considered.
Como podemos definir la Maquila.
Frente a la competencia en el mercado, cuales son los objetivos que persiguen las empresas multinacionales con la creación del sistema de maquilas en la producción de bienes?
Por qué la maquila se convierte en un factor que favorece la capacidad de competencia de las empresas multinacionales en el mercado.
Qué ventajas brinda el fenómeno maquilador a los consumidores finales de los bienes.
Cuales empresas salen perjudicadas en el mercado municipal, por la competencia de la maquila controlada por las multinacionales y las familias ricas de la economía nacional y Por Qué.
Answer:
Como podemos definir la Maquila.
Una maquila es una empresa manufacturera que importa materia prima sin aranceles de un país determinado, la transforma en producto terminado, y luego vende ese producto terminado en el país de donde importó la materia prima en primer lugar.
Frente a la competencia en el mercado, cuales son los objetivos que persiguen las empresas multinacionales con la creación del sistema de maquilas en la producción de bienes?
Las multinacionales persiguen abaratar costos con las maquilas. En un entorno competitivo, tener unos costos de producción más bajos es una de las mejores estrategias corporativas ya que esto genera precios más bajos.
Por qué la maquila se convierte en un factor que favorece la capacidad de competencia de las empresas multinacionales en el mercado.
Porque les permite producir bienes a precios más bajos.
Qué ventajas brinda el fenómeno maquilador a los consumidores finales de los bienes.
Los consumidores se benefician de poder comprar productos más baratos, lo que significa que su ingreso rinde más.
Cuales empresas salen perjudicadas en el mercado municipal, por la competencia de la maquila controlada por las multinacionales y las familias ricas de la economía nacional y Por Qué.
Las empresas que salen perjudicadas son aquellas que no pueden competir con los bajos costos y las economías de escala de las compañías multinacionales que tienen maquilas, y que por ésta razón, terminan ofreciendo productos más costosos, lo que repercute de forma negativa en su nivel de ventas.
Bates Company plans to add a new item to its line of consumer product offerings. Two possible products are under consideration. Each unit of Product A costs $10 to produce and has a contribution margin of $5, while each unit of Product B costs $18 and has a contribution margin of $6. What is the differential revenue for this decision
Answer:
the Differential revenue is $9
Explanation:
The computation of the differential revenue is shown below:
Differential revenue is
= (Product B) - (Product A)
= (Cost + contribution margin) - (Cost + contribution margin)
= ($18 + $6) - ($10 + $5)
= $24 - $15
= $9
hence, the Differential revenue is $9
Therefore the same is to be considered
We simply applied the above formula
Felicia works for a news organization as a reporter. For the most part her work is solitary, and she only has brief communications via email or telephone with her editor (her boss) when she submits her stories. While Felicia is a good news reporter, the economy has taken a downfall and the organization likely will have to lay off some employees. Felicia is most likely to perceive this situation as:
Answer:
The correct answer is: Personal threat
Explanation:
Analyzing the above scenario, Felicia is considered more likely to perceive this situation as a personal threat.
This is due to her job function, which is a good news reporter, and with the economy declining and the organization will probably have to fire some employees, she feels threatened personally, as she is more likely to realize that the economic situation negative will directly influence the good news that she sends to the news agency, so she feels that this situation is threatening to the performance of her work and the agency may fire her because there is no good news for publication.
