Answer:
Programmed.
Explanation:
This is a form of decision that is has been made or is been made by as manager just like Jaime the account managing clerk which is repetitive or occurs steadily and over and over. The fact that it happens this steadily makes it a programmed decision.
This decision making are always taken in accordance with some establishment habit, regulations or procedures while the nature of problem that requires a non programmed decision is unstructured and something different. It needs a higher management participation.
In programmed decision making, there could likely be no error in the decisions because it is a routine and managers usually have the information they need to create rules and guidelines to be followed by others.

Pitchfork, Inc. is preparing its 2020 financial statements. The company's accountant calculated Income from Continuing Operations to be $1,700,000, but upon further review is not certain this number is accurate. Pitchfork has a corporate income tax rate of 30%. Additionally, the company reports only one year of financial data on the face of the financial statements. All amounts listed are pretax unless otherwise noted. After reviewing the following information, determine the appropriate adjustments, if any, to Income from Continuing Operations. Once you have determined the CORRECT Income from Continuing Operations, complete the remainder of the Income Statement for reporting EPS.
1. On January 1, 2017, Pitchfork purchased a machine for $180,000 with a salvage value of $20,000 and useful life of eight years which was depreciated using the straight-line method. During 2020, Pitchfork decided to change to double-declining-balance method. The $1,700,000 Income from Continuing Operations had already been calculated using the straight-line depreciation method.
Determine the correct ADJUSTMENT to Income from Continuing Operations (ICO) for Depreciation Expense in 2020.
Adjustment for Depreciation Expense (2020):___________
Continuing with the information presented in #1 above, Pitchfork has ICO of $1,700,000 and a corporate tax rate of 30%. Determine if ICO should be adjusted based on the following information:

3. During 2020, Pitchfork closed one of its stores for a pre-tax loss of $150,000. This store closure did not qualify as a component of the entity, nor did it create a strategic shift in the operations of the entity. Therefore, it should not be treated as Discontinued Operations. The $150,000 restructuring charges were excluded in determining the $1,700,000 income from continuing operations.
To correct I.C.O., the Adjustment for Restructuring Charges would be $ _________
Continuing with the information presented in #1 above, Pitchfork has Income from Continuing Operations (ICO) of $1,700,000 and a corporate tax rate of 30%. Determine if ICO should be adjusted based on the following information:

g Lydia, a citizen of Italy, produces scarves and purses that she sells to department stores in the United States. Other things the same, these sales a. increase U.S. net exports and have no effect on Italian net exports. b. decrease U.S. net exports and have no effect on Italian net exports. c. increase U.S. net exports and decrease Italian net exports. d. decrease U.S. net exports and increase Italian net exports.
Answer:
d. decrease U.S. net exports and increase Italian net exports.
Explanation:
As it is given that
Lydia, who is a citizen of Italy produced scarves and purses in order to sell to the department stores in the united states keeping other things constant. So the sales would reflect an increased in the net exports of Italian as she is a producer and sell its products to the united states and at the same time it decreased or decline the net exports of united states
The net exports is
= Exports - imports
Hence, the correct option is d.
In a situation of neither input nor output fixed, the proper economic criterion is to _________________. A. Maximize the output B. Minimize the inputs C. Minimize (inputs - outputs) D. Maximize (outputs - inputs)
Answer:
D. Maximize (outputs - inputs)
Explanation:
The input is the raw material, labor, the efforts that is used in making the product while the output is the product or the result arising from the input
The profit arises when output and the input varies from each other
i.e
Profit = Output - input
In the case where there is neither an input nor output fixed, so we have to maximize the profit i.e (output - input) but the condition is that they are different from each other
Hence, the correct option is D.
Henrie’s Drapery Service is investigating the purchase of a new machine for cleaning and blocking drapes. The machine would cost $102,990, including freight and installation. Henrie’s estimated the new machine would increase the company’s cash inflows, net of expenses, by $30,000 per year. The machine would have a five-year useful life and no salvage value.
Required:
a. Compute the machine's internal rate of return to the nearest whole percent.
b. Compute the machine's net present value. Use a discount rate of 16%. (Any cash outflows should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places.)
c. Suppose that the new machine would increase the company's annual cash inflows, net of expenses, by only $41,000 per year. Under these conditions, compute the internal rate of return to the nearest whole percent.
Answer:
A. 14%
B. NPV = $-4,761.19
C. 28%
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-102,990
Cash flow each year from year one to five = $30,000
IRR = 14%
The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Npv can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-102,990
Cash flow each year from year one to five = $30,000
I = 16%
NPV = $-4,761.19
IRR if cash flow is $41,000
Cash flow in year 0 = $-102,990
Cash flow each year from year one to five = $41,000
IRR = 28%

Job A3B was ordered by a customer on September 25. During the month of September, Jaycee Corporation requisitioned $1,800 of direct materials and used $3,300 of direct labor. The job was not finished by the end of the month, but needed an additional $2,300 of direct materials and additional direct labor of $5,100 to finish the job in October. The company applies overhead at the end of each month at a rate of 200% of the direct labor cost incurred. What is the balance in the Work in Process account at the end of September relative to Job A3B? Multiple Choice $7,400 $11,700 $4,100 $8,400
Answer:
$11,700
Explanation:
The computation of the balance in the work in process at the end of the month is shown below:
= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost percentage of direct labor cost
= $1,800 + $3,300 + $3,300 × 200%
= $1,800 + $3,300 + $6,600
= $11,700
We simply added the direct material cost, direct labor cost and the manufacturing overhead cost so that the ending balance could arrive

Uniform Supply accepted a $8,800, 90-day, 9% note from Tracy Janitorial on October 17. What entry should Uniform Supply make on January 15 of the next year when the note is paid? (Assume reversing entries are not made.). (Use 360 days a year.)
Answer:
Dr cash($8800+$33+$165) $8,998
Cr notes receivable $8,800
Cr interest revenue $33
Cr interest receivable $165
Explanation:
As at January 15 when the note is received ,there is need to recognize interest revenue for 15 days of January i.e 15/360*9%*$8800=$33
From October 17 to December 31 ,interest receivable amount already recognized as revenue=75/360*9%*$8800=$165
The actual of amount of notes receivable is the original amount of $8,800
The integration of flower farming in Kenya into global economy creates additional pressure for the ecosystem and the environment in Kenya. The major concern is due to the following.
A. More pollution in Naivasha lake
B. Less water resources for locals
C. extensive use to water flowers
D. All of these
Answer: D. All of these
Explanation:
Lake Naivasha has seen a huge rise in pollution due to the integration of the Kenya flower farming industry. This is due to the chemicals and fertilizers used to farm the flowers. Indeed in the year, Researchers estimate that due to a torrential rainfall that hit the area, millions of fish and aquatic life died when fertilizers and chemicals were washed into the lake.
The use of water from the lake for flower farming has also reduced the amount of water available to locals. This as well as the massive increase in the population of area as people come from far and wide to work for the flower farms have also increased the usage of the lake thereby reducing what is left for the locals.
Used in farming are water flowers and their overuse have led to their numbers dropping as well.

Assume that the full-employment level of output is $5000 billion and the natural unemployment rate is 5%. Suppose the current unemployment rate is 8%. What would be the current level of output according to Okun's law (when the Okun's law coefficient is 2)?
Answer:
$4700 Billion
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Assume that full-employment level of output is =$5000 billion
Natural employment rate is =5%
Current unemployment rate = 8%
Now,
We find the current level of output according to Okun's law when the Okun's law coefficient is 2 which is given below:
2 (unemployment rate -natural unemployment) = potential GDP - actual GDP/potential GDP *100% this is known as the Okun's law
Thus
2( 8 - 5 ) = 5000 - actual GDP / 5000 * 100
or (6 * 5000 ) / 100 = 5000 - actual GDP = $4700 Billion
or
300 = 5000 - actual GDP
Hence, the actual GDP or current output = 5000 - 300 = 4700 $ billion
Barry, a solvent individual but a recovering alcoholic, embezzled $6,000 from his employer. In the same year that he embezzled the funds, his employer discovered the theft. His employer did not fire him and told him he did not have to repay the $6,000 if he would attend Alcoholics Anonymous. Barry met the conditions and his employer canceled the debt.
A. Barry did not realize any income because his employer made a gift to him.
B. Barry must include $6,000 in gross income from discharge of indebtedness.
C. Barry must include $6,000 in gross income under the tax benefit rule.
D. Barry may exclude the $6,000 from gross income because the debt never existed.
E. None of these.
Answer: Barry must include $6,000 in gross income from discharge of indebtedness
Explanation:
Feom the question above, we are told that Barry embezzled $6,000 from his employer and that even though his employer discovered the theft, the employ did not fire him and told him that he did not have to repay the $6,000 if he attend Alcoholics Anonymous. Barry met the conditions and the employer canceled the debt.
In this case, Barry will have to include the $6,000 he stole in gross income from discharge of indebtedness. The gross income has to do with the sum of the wages, profits, salaries, rents, interest payments, and every other earnings, before the deductions of taxes or other deductions. Since Barry stole the money and.he.has been forgiven, the $6,000 has to be included in the gross income from discharge of indebtedness.

Using ABC, compute the overhead cost per unit for each product line. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)2. Determine the total cost per unit for each product line if the direct labor and direct materials costs per unit are $250 for Model 145 and $180 for Model 212. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)3. Assume if the market price for Model 145 is $820 and the market price for Model 212 is $480, determine the profit or loss per unit for each model. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)
Answer:
1. Overhead cost per unit for Model 145 is $515.59, and overhead cost per unit for Model 212 is $265.12.
2.Total cost per unit for Model 145 is $765.59, and total cost per unit for Model 212 is $445.12.
3. Profit per unit for Model 145 is $54.41, while profit per unit for Model 212 is $34.88.
Explanation:
1. Using ABC, compute the overhead cost per unit for each product line. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)
Note: See the attached excel file for the computation.
2. Determine the total cost per unit for each product line if the direct labor and direct materials costs per unit are $250 for Model 145 and $180 for Model 212. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)
Total cost per unit for each model = Overhead cost per unit + direct labor and direct materials costs per unit.
Therefore, we have:
Total cost per unit for Model 145 = $515.59 + $250 = $765.59
Total cost per unit for Model 212 = $265.12 + $180 = $445.12
3. Assume if the market price for Model 145 is $820 and the market price for Model 212 is $480, determine the profit or loss per unit for each model. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)
Profit or loss per unit for each model = Market price per unit - Total cost per unit.
Therefore, we have:
Profit or loss per unit for Model 145 = $820 - $765.59 = $54.41 profit
Profit or loss per unit for Model 212 = $480 - 445.12 = $34.88 profit

Melody and Todd are married and have employee wages of $250,000 each in 2019. They have no other income. How much additional 0.9% Medicare tax will Melody and Todd have to pay or receive as a refund when they file their 2019 income tax return?
Answer:
$1,350
Explanation:
The computation of the amount pay or received as a refund at the time of filing the income tax return for the year 2019 is shown below:
As we know that
The Medicare tax rate is 1.45% till $200,000
And, if it is above $200,000 than 2.35% is charged (1.45% + 0.9%)
Now
For individually calculated,
Melody = ($200,000 × 1.45%) + ($50,000 × 2.35%) = $4,075
Todd = ($200,000 × 1.45%) + ($50,000 × 2.35%) = $4,075
So, the total is
= $4,075 + $4,075
= $8,150
Now if they filling their joint return so
Total salary is $500,000 ($250,000 × 2)
Medicare upto $250,000 = $3,625 ($250,000 × 1.45%)
for remaining $250,000 = $5,875 ($250,000 × 2.35%)
So, the Total is
= $3,625 + $5,875
= $9,500
Now the refund is
= Joint return - individually return for each one
= $9,500 - $8,150
= $1,350
Baka Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the most recent year, the company based its predetermined overhead rate on total estimated overhead of $243,000 and 8,000 estimated direct labor-hours. Actual manufacturing overhead for the year amounted to $244,200 and actual direct labor-hours were 5,700.The applied manufacturing overhead for the year was closest to:________
a. 229586
b. 234600
c. 242006
d. 236854
Answer:
Allocated overhead= $173,137.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $243,000
Estimated direct-labor hours= 8,000
Actual direct labor-hours were 5,700.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 243,000/8,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $30.375 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated overhead= 30.375*5,700= $173,137.5

Data concerning that product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selling price $ 110 100 % Variable expenses 66 60 % Contribution margin 44 40 % The company is currently selling 5,120 units per month. Fixed expenses are $210,000 per month. The marketing manager believes that a $6,600 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 230 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
Answer:
Effect on income= $3,520 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Contribution margin= 44
The marketing manager believes that a $6,600 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 230 unit increase in monthly sales.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= increase in contribution margin - increase in costs
Effect on income= 230*44 - 6,600
Effect on income= $3,520 increase
On January 1, Year 1, Milton Manufacturing Company purchased equipment with a list price of $37,000. A total of $4,000 was paid for installation and testing. During the first year, Milton paid $6,000 for insurance on the equipment and another $700 for routine maintenance and repairs. Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units. What is the amount of depreciation for Year 1
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $4,620
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $37,000
Installation= $4,000
Milton uses the units-of-production method of depreciation. Useful life is estimated at 100,000 units, and the estimated salvage value is $8,000. During Year 1, the equipment produced 14,000 units.
First, we will determine the total cost consisting of the purchasing price and all costs to make the equipment operable.
Total cost= 37,000 + 4,000= $41,000
Now, to calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= [(41,000 - 8,000)/100,000]*14,000
Annual depreciation= $4,620
Managers can use CSR and sustainability information as important feedback to guide decision making in a variety of areas. Which of the following areas is least likely to be impacted by this feedback?
a. cost control decisions
b. FASB compliance with U.S. GAAP
c. strategic and operational areas
d. resource allocation decisions
Answer:
Option B. FASB compliance with U.S. GAAP
Explanation:
Because FASB is an independent body and publishes amendmends in Accounting standards which are internationally accepted so it has nothing to do with the US GAAP. Our decision making impact can be seen on the matters that are dependent on us not on the things we don't have control of or if they independent body. So the least impacted would be FASB compliance with US GAAP.
Whereas the rest of options are controlled by the managers so they can be easily influenced by the decision making power of the managers.

"In the Modigliani Miller perfect world with no taxes, if we assume that the effect of adding debt to firm's capital structure is exactly balanced by an increase in the cost of equity as more debt is added, what is the effect of increased debt usage on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
Answer: WACC remains constant as leverage increases.
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
In the Modigliani Miller perfect world with no taxes, if we assume that the effect of adding debt to firm's capital structure is exactly balanced by an increase in the cost of equity as more debt is added, what is the effect of increased debt usage on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?
a. WACC first increases, then decreases as leverage increases.
b. WACC remains constant as leverage increases.
c. WACC increases continuously as leverage increases.
d. WACC decreases continually as leverage increases.
In the Modigliani Miller perfect world with no taxes, the capital structure is not relevant as the way a company finances it operations does not really matter.
For the capital markets, they will be perfectly competitive and there will be no taxes, bankruptcy costs or transactions cost and investors all have the same expectations. The weighted average cost if capital will be thesame even though leverage increases.
Zombie Corp. has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.95, and ROE of 16.15 percent.
What is this firm's equity multiplier?
What is this firm's debt-equity ratio?
Answer:
This firm's equity multiplier is 1.6239
This firm's debt-equity ratio is 0.6239
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Profit Margin (PM) = 5.10%
That is, Net Profit/Sales = 5.10% = 0.051
Total Assets Turnover (TAT) = 1.95
That is, Sales/Total Assets = 1.95
Return on Equity (ROE) = 16.15%
That is, Net Profit/Total Equity = 16.15% = 0.1615
In order to calculate this firm's equity multiplier we would have to use the following formula:
Equity Multiplier (EM) = Total Assets / Total Equity
=(total assets/sales)*(sales/total equity)
=(total assets/sales)*(sales/net profit)*(net profit/total equity)
=(1/T AT)*(1/PM)*(ROE)
=(1/1.95)*(1/0.051)*(0.1615)
=1.6239
This firm's equity multiplier is 1.6239
In order to calculate this this firm's debt-equity ratio we would have to use the following formula:
Debt Equity Ratio = Debt/Equity
=(total assets- total equity)/(total equity)
=(total assets/total equity)-(total equity/total equity)
= equity multiplier-1
=1.6239-1
=0.6239
This firm's debt-equity ratio is 0.6239
Suppose that there is a French shipbuilder that imports American made aluminum for parts in its ships. The French shipbuilder needs to purchase aluminum from the American producer for $100,000. Question: At the equilibrium exchange rate, how much does it cost to purchase $100,000 worth of aluminum from the American producer
Answer:
€67,000
Explanation:
The computation o the cost is shown below:
But before that first we have to determine the exchange rate at which the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplies
As we can see that from the table $1.5 per euro exchange rate, the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplied
That means € 1 = $ 1.5
So,
$1 = € 1 ÷ 1.5
So,
Euro exchange rate = €0.67 per dollar
Now
Worth of exchange is
= $100,000 × € 0.67 per dollar
= €67,000

Answer:
The answer is Option D. 1.68 times
Explanation:
The formula for equity multiplier is:
Equity Multiplier = Total assets ÷ Total stockholder's equity
In 2017:
Total stockholder's equity = Common stock + Retained earnings
Total stockholder's equity = $2890 + $700 = $3590
Total assets = $6,015
Now, putting these values in the above formula, we get,
Equity multiplier = $6,015 ÷ $3,590 = 1.68 times
your investment has a 20% chance of earning 30% rate of return, a 50% chance of earning a 10% rate of return, and a 30% chance of losing 7%. what is your expected return on investment
Answer:
8.9%
Explanation:
From the question above
- The investment has 20% chance of earning 30% rate of return
= 20/100
Number or chances= 0.2
- The investment has a 50% chance of earning 10% rate of return
= 50/100
Number of chances = 0.5
- The investment has 30% chance of losing 7%
= 30/100
Number of chances= 0.3
Therefore, the expected return on investment can be calculated as follows
=0.2(30) + 0.5(10) + 0.3(-7)
=6 + 5 - 2.1
= 11-2.1
= 8.9%
Hence the expected return on investment is 8.9%
