American Corporation has the following financial information. Year 1 Year 2 Cash $ 202.95 $ 245.90 A/R 398.02 485.34 Inventory 785.12 648.54 If Year 1 is the base year, what is the percentage increase/decrease of each current asset amount

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Since Year 1 has been given as the base year, the percentage change will be:

(Year 2 - Year 1)/Year 1 × 100

Cash:

= (245.90 - 202.95)/202.95 × 100

= 42.95/202.95 × 100

= 0.21 × 100

= 21% Increase

A/R:

= (485.34 - 398.02)/398.02 × 100

= 87.32/398.02 × 100

= 0.22 × 100

= 22% Increase

Inventory:

= (648.54 - 785.12)/785.12 × 100

= -136.58/785.12 × 100

= -0.17 × 100

= 17% decrease

Answers

Answer:

The strategy described above is known as Umbrella (or Family) Brand Strategy

Explanation:

Family branding is a marketing concept where a company with strong equity uses a single brand name to sell two or more products under the same category.

In the question we see two broad categories:

Foods;Cargo

And there, you have under each broad group, sub-categories using the brand Uber.

Real-life examples of successful umbrella brands are:

Apple (iPhone, iMac, iPod etc)AdidasPokémon etc.

The advantage of Umbrella Branding as a business strategy is that the cost required to launch a product under a different brand is significantly avoided if the new product is affixed with the existing brand.

If however, the company fails to get it right, by enveloping a different line of product in the existing brand, it may water down the brand and also confuse customers.

A business will construct its financial statements in a particular order because they are interrelated. This means that items formulated in an earlier statement feed into the subsequent statements, and changes to items on one financial statement can have compounding effects on the overall financial position of a company. Which of the following is one reason the statement of owner's equity is prepared after the income statement?

a. Retained earnings are computed on the income statement.
b. Net income is the beginning retained earnings amount.
c. Retained earnings is really an asset.
d. Net income is part of the computation for ending retained earnings.

Answers

Answer: d. Net income is part of the computation for ending retained earnings.

Explanation:

In the statement of owner's equity, Retained earnings are calculated and it is done with the Net Income. This is why when the net income is calculated from the Income Statement it is transfered to the SOE and used to calculate Retained Earnings.

Retained Earnings are calculated by the formula,

Ending Retained = Opening Retained Earnings + Net Income (losses) - Dividends

Net income is added to (or subtracted from if it is a Net loss) the Opening Retained earnings balance. Net dividends are also subtracted.

Answers

Answer: $1800

Explanation:

Here is the correct question:

Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf​ course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is p=140-2q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what​ Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special​ deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at ​$20, which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the​ Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using​ two-part pricing? The​ profit-maximizing membership fee​ (F) is ​$nothing. ​(Enter your response as a whole​ number.)

Answer:

p = 140 - 2q

The profit-maximizing membership fee​ will be equal to total surplus

Therefore, the number of rounds that Joe played will be,

P = MC

20 = 140 - 2q

2q = 140 - 20

2q = 120

q = 120/2

q = 60

Total surplus = 1/2 × (vertical intercept of the demand curve - marginal cost) × the quantiy of rounds.

Total surplus = 1/2 × (140 - 20) × 60

= 1/2 × 120 × 60

= 3600

Therefore, the maximum membership fee will be = $3600.

If the firm charge Joe a single price , then the rounds provided will be such that MR = MC

Total revenue = price × quantity

TR = (140 - 2q) × q

TR = 140q - 2q²

MR = dTR/dQ = 140 - 4q

We then equate MR = MC

140 - 4q = 20

4q = 140 - 20

4q = 120

q = 120/4

q = 30

P = 140 - 2q

P = 140 - (2 × 30)

P = 140 - 60

P = 80

Therefore, the profit if a single price is charge will be:

= TR - TC = pq - MC×q = (P-MC)×Q

= (80-20) × 30

= $1800

Therefore, the increase in the profit by two-par pricing will be:

=Membership fee - Profit of single price charge

= $3600 - $1800

= $1800

Break-Even Sales Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $280, the unit variable cost is $230, and the total fixed costs are $560,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $310. a. Compute the current break-even sales (units). units b. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant. units

Answers

Answer:

a.

Break even in units sales = 11200 units

b.

Break even in units sales = 7000 units

Explanation:

Break even sales in units is the number of units needed to be sold in order for the company to reach a point where it covers all of its total cost with its total revenue and break evens. It is a point of no profit and no loss and the total revenue is equal to the total costs.

The formula to calculate break even in units is,

Break even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Where, contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

a.

Break even in units = 560000 / (280 - 230)

Break even in units = 11200 units

b.

Anticipated Break even in units = 560000 / (310 - 230)

Anticipated Break even in units = 7000 units

Answers

Answer: 1. B. shifts the SRAS curve upward.

2. A. does not shift the SRAS curve.

3. B. does not shift the SRAS curve.

Explanation:

1. When Firm costs rise, the input cost for Producers rises and they respond by reducing production so as to reduce the cost of production. This reduction causes a reduction in Supply that forces the short-run aggregate supply ​(SRAS​) ​curve to shift left (upward).

2. This change in the Money Supply means that there will be more money for households to spend. This increases demand but does not have any direct influence on the short-run aggregate supply ​(SRAS​) ​curve.

3. An Increase in consumption means that there is greater demand for goods and services in an Economy. Indirectly this will cause producers to ramp up production to meet these needs but directly, there is no influence on the short-run aggregate supply ​(SRAS​) ​curve.

Last year, Bad Tattoo Co. had additions to retained earnings of $4,865 on sales of $95,805. The company had costs of $75,885, dividends of $3,040, and interest expense of $2,120. If the tax rate was 35 percent, what the depreciation expense

Answers

Answer:

The depreciation expense is $5638.46 and the Addition to retained earnings is 4865

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Sales  = $95805

Less: Costs = $75885

Less depreciation expense ($95805 - $75,885 - 14281.54) = $5638.46

EBIT (12161.54 + 2120) = 14281.54

Less: Interest expense =2120

EBT (100%)(7905/0.65) = 12161.54

Less: tax at 35%(12161.54*35%) =4256.54

The Net income(65%) = 7905

The Less:dividends = 3040

Addition to retained earnings =4865

A short forward contract that was negotiated some time ago will expire in three months and has a delivery price of $40. The current forward price for three-month forward contract is $42. The three month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) is 8%. What is the value of the short forward contract?

Answers

Answer:

The present value can be calculated as

Value of present contract= -2e^(0.08 x 0.25)

Value of present contract= -$1.96

If the story ends up having major impact, JM will realize substantial profits from additional magazine sales, subscriptions, and advertising revenues. However, if JM publishes the story, JM will face a lawsuit; if it loses the suit, the penalties could be substantial. The tree below summarizes JM's decision.
The EMV of publishing the story is $10,000. Based on this EMV, JM should publish the story. If the publisher chooses not to publish the story, which of the following best describes the publisher's attitude towards this decision?
A) Risk averse.
B) Risk neutral.
C) Risk seeking.
D) Risqué.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is A, risk averse

Explanation:

Risk aversion is a situation where a person undertaking a business or an investor tries as much as possible to limit exposure to losses by taking drastic steps to ensure the losses do not materialize.

The publisher in this case is conscious of facing the lawsuit that could result from publishing story and has taken a precautionary measure by not even venturing into the publishing ,let alone a  lawsuit with substantial amount in damages rears its ugly head.

A risk seeking investor would go ahead with the publishing since success could bring a juicy income

Shelton Co. purchased a parcel of land six years ago for $873,500. At that time, the firm invested $145,000 in grading the site so that it would be usable. Since the firm wasn't ready to use the site itself at that time, it decided to lease the land for $54,000 a year. The company is now considering building a warehouse on the site as the rental lease is expiring. The current value of the land is $925,000. What value should be included in the initial cost of the warehouse project for the use of this land?

Answers

Answer:

$925,000

Explanation:

The value of the land that would be included in the initial cost of the warehouse is it market value of $925,000 which the land currently commands.

The rationale for this are numerous:

Firstly,if the land was not previously owned by Shelton Co, would have to purchase a similar land at its market value.

Secondly, if the land was not deployed to the project, it could be sold now for cash at $925,000

A firm sells two products, Regular and Ultra. For every unit of Regular sold, two units of Ultra are sold. The firm's total fixed costs are $1,947,000. Selling prices and cost information for both products follow. What is the firm's break-even point in units of Regular and Ultra?

Answers

Answer:

the firm must sell 37,443 units of Regular and 74,886 units of Ultra

Explanation:

Regular - unit sales price= $20; Variables costs per unit = $8

Ultra - unit sales price= $24; Variables costs per unit = $4

combined contribution margin:

1 unit of regular = $20 - $8 = $122 units of ultra = $48 - $8 = $40total = $52

break even point = total fixed costs / combined contribution margin = $1,947,000 / $52 = 37,442.31 ≈ 37,443 units

the firm must sell 37,443 units of Regular and 74,886 units of Ultra

Allowing a tax credit for certain solar energy property can be justified: a.Based on the wherewithal to pay concept. b.As helping small businesses. c.As promoting administrative feasibility. d.As promoting a government policy to use alternative energy sources. e.None of these choices are correct.

Answers

Answer: As promoting a government policy to use alternative energy sources.

Explanation:

A tax credit is a form of tax incentive which can help in the reduction of the amount of money that a taxpayer is owing the government. Here, the taxpayer can just deduct the tax credit from the total amount of taxes that the individual owe thereby leading to him paying a lower amount as tax.

In this case, allowing tax credit for certain solar energy property may be a way the government wants to make people start using other forms of energy. Giving tax credit will lead to a cheaper price for the solar energy products.

Explanation:

From the question, the boss is concerned about the research plan and says that he does not believe that we are ready to run causal research on the effects of advertising and further said we should re-evaluate the descriptive research options.

Based on the scenario above, I'll choose to research the attitudes that U.S. women and consumers over 35 have towards the eSports industry. By choosing this option, I'll have a large sample size to carry out the descriptive research.

It should also be noted that the descriptive method consist of qualitative natural survey and also the cross sectional research. By researching the attitude of women and consumers, this will give us the opportunity to utilize the cross sectional research. Therefore, the second option is the correct answer.

No effect? Amount of deduction? Amount of income ?

Answers

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

a. No Effect on Taxable Income.

First off Joe's income is only dependent on if the test is successful. Even if it were, the test would only be conducted in year 1 March not in year 0 which is the focus of this question. Taxes are only paid when cash is received.

b. No Effect on Taxable Income.

Had there been a business discussion, Joe would have been able to claim a 50% deduction in Tax. However since there was none, there is no effect on Tax.

c. No effect on Taxable Income

The insurance is not tax deductible.

d. $12,750 in taxable income.

Even Joe believes that $2,750 of income might not be collected, he cannot deduct this from taxes until it actually happens therefore his increase in income is $12,750.

e. $2,250 reduction in taxable income

The $6,750 was paid for 3 months. Joe uses Accrual accounting however meaning that expenses have to be recorded for the period they are incurred. $2,250 was incurred for December and so that is the amount that will be deducted as an expense for the year.

f. $1,600 reduction in Taxable income.

If the representative brings back receipts that are in order, Joe can be able to reimburse her for $1,600 in expenses. This includes $550 for airfare, $600 for lodging and for food and entertainment, the maximum he can claim as deductible in tax is 50% of each which means $250 for meals and $200 for entertainment. Adding all that up will give $1,600.

g. $139.15 reduction in Taxable income

Joe drove 96 miles to and fro the factory to his house. This is not tax deductible and considered personal. He however drove 245 miles visiting company sites. This is tax deductible.

The standard rate for 2020 according to the IRS is 57.5 cents per mile so 245 * 57.5 cents per mile will give $139.15.

h. $345 reduction in taxable income

Joe spent $175 to attend to symposium. He also paid $95 in taxi fare to get to the symposium. He ate meals worth $150 during the symposium not which 50% is deductible. 50% being $75. Adding all these together is,

= 175 + 95 + 75

= $345.

This is the taxable reduction.

Calisto Launch Services is an independent space corporation and has been contracted to develop and launch one of two different satellites. Initial equipment will cost $750,000 for the first satellite and $850,000 for the second. Development will take 5 years at an expected cost of $150,000 per year for the first satellite; $120,000 per year for the second. The same launch vehicle can be used for either satellite and will cost $275,000 at the time of the launch 5 years from now. At the conclusion of the launch, the contracting company will pay Calisto $2,500,000 for either satellite. Calisto is also considering whether they should consider launching both satellites. Because Calisto would have to upgrade its facilities to handle two concurrent projects, the initial costs would rise by $150,000 in addition to the first costs of each satellite. Calisto would need to hire additional engineers and workers, raising the yearly costs to a total of $400,000. An additional compartment would be added to the launch vehicle at an additional cost of $75,000. As an incentive to do both, the contracting company will pay for both launches plus a bonus of $1,000,000. Using a present worth analysis with a MARR of 10 percent/year, what should Calisto Launch Services do?

Answers

Answer:

The three different alternatives have positive NPVs. The alternative with the highest NPV is alternative 3, to develop and launch both satellites (NPV = $241,891). This alternative also has the highest IRR (12.1%). So Calisto should work on both satellites.
