Answer:
The correct option is true
Explanation:
The book value of the old fixtures at the date of exchange which is the cost less accumulated depreciation till date is computed thus:
Book value of old fixtures=$48,000-$14,000=$34000
Expected cash payable by the company for the new fixtures is the market value of the new fixtures minus the carrying value of the old fixtures.
Expected cash=$117,000-$34,000=$83,000.00
Loss on the exchange =cash paid -expected cash payable=$101,000-$83,000=$18000
Trendz Inc. is a leading brand of fashion clothing and accessories based in Houston. After gaining a strong foothold in the U.S., the company wants to foray into foreign markets. The management at Trends knows that people residing in other countries are likely to have different tastes and preferences, so they may have to redesign some of their offerings. Which of the following strategies is Trendz using?
A) market-penetration strategy
B) outsourcing strategy
C) geographic-expansion strategy
D) product differentiation strategy
E) ethnocentric strategy
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: product differentiation strategy.
Explanation:
To begin with, the fact that the company knows and understand that in other countries the people may have other needs and preferences is helpful because in that way they are able to investigate and start the creation and production of a good that adjusts to the preferences of that other country and by doing that the company leaves behind the concept of standarization and focus on the differentiation of its product by making it unique in every country they are in.
Some construction company has bought a product for $200,000 with a life of three years, and a salvage value of $10,000. Tabulate depreciation and book value using MACRS, Double Declining Balance and straight-line methods. Which method gives the company the largest depreciation after two years?
Answer:
The method that gives the company the largest depreciation after two years is MACRS.
Explanation:
According to given data Under MACS depreciation would be provided for 4 years and the salvage value of the asset would be reduced to zero .
Year depreciation rate Deprecation Book value at the end of the year
1 33.33% 66660 (33.33 % of 200000) 133340
2 44.45% 88900 (44.45 % of 200000) 44440
3 14.81% 29620 (14.81 % of 200000) 14820
4 7.41% 14820 (7.41 % of 200000) 0
Straight line method
The amount of depreciation remains same for three years. The depreciation amount is calculated as
=Original cost- Salvage value / life
= 200000-10000 /3
= 63333.3 $
Year Depreciation Book value at the end of the year
1 63333.33 136666.7
2 63333.33 73333.34
3 63333.33 10000.01
Double declining balance method
Under this method the depreciation is charged at double the rate of straight line method .
Depreciation rate under SLM = 100% / 3 = 33.33 %
DDB method rate = 2* 33.33% = 66.66%
Year Book value at the beginning Depreciation Book value at the end
1 200000 133320 (66.66% of 200000) 66680
2 66680 44448.89 (66.66% of 66680) 22231.11
3 22231.11 14819.26 (66.66% of 22231.11) 7411.853
The largest depreciation is given by MACRS method after two years which is 88900
You have been hired to design a relational database for a convenience store which is located within an apartment complex. The goal of the database is to keep track of the inventory sold in hopes of using the data to better meet the customer's convenience store needs. Up until your arrival, the store kept track of each customer’s purchases using a flat database log, as shown in the following table. Using the information provided, build a relational database that will allow for querying things such as products sold, customer purchases, total apartment purchases, and total spent per apartment. Include any created tables and identify the keys and key types that are used. Identify all relationships, labeling them 1:1, 1:N, or M:N.

Freya Co. has two patents that have allegedly been infringed by competitors. After investigation, legal counsel informed Freya that it had a weak case for Patent A34 and a strong case in regard to Patent B19. Freya incurred additional legal fees to stop infringement on Patent B19. Both patents have a remaining legal life of 8 years. How should Freya account for these legal costs incurred relating to the two patents?
Answer:
Freya needs to expense costs for Patent A34 and capitalize costs for Patent B19.
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described it can be said that Freya needs to expense costs for Patent A34 and capitalize costs for Patent B19. That is because a successful defense of a patent needs to be capitalized and amortized since you can now monetize and recover the costs incurred as well as make a profit off of the patent. On the other hand, unsuccessful defense of a patent needs to be expensed as incurred since that patent cannot be used to make money and recover costs.
Jaune Magazine (JM) must decide whether or not to publish a tell-all story about a celebrity. 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.
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
Since World War II, globalization has been driven by two major factors: the decline in barriers to the free flow of goods, services, and capital, and technological change. Business has fueled these trends and has been the beneficiary of these trends. Understanding globalization trends helps businesses identify opportunities and threats in their environment. Understanding these trends will also make the changes much more manageable. International businesses have greater flexibility, more options, and a broader scope to consider globalization of production and globalization of markets. Match the driving force to the correct description and implication for business.
a. declining trade barriers
b. technology transportation
c. declining investment barriers
d. technology computing and communication
Match each of the options above to the items below.
1. lower tariffs and increased international trade in goods and services rapid.
2. FDI growth and new production opportunities and new markets.
3. explosive growth of high-power, low-cost computing and growth in services.
4. faster and cheaper shipping and optimal production.
Answer: a to 1
b to 4
c to 2
d to 3
Explanation:
A to 1
Due to declining Trade barriers largely driven by trade agreements, countries are able to trade on a larger scale than before because goods are able to move in and out of a country with less hindrances. Tariffs are no longer as high and this has spurred companies to trade across borders to take advantage of new markets that do not increase their costs of selling.
B to 4.
With technology being applied to transportation, shipping has been made easier and faster and has also improved access to markets. Since World War II, the world has become smaller due to vessels capable for circumnavigating the world at a fraction of the time that they used to. Now vehicles like cargo planes and bullet trains can carry goods faster and at a cheaper rate thus inspiring people to keep trading.
C to 2
With Investment Barriers being lifted, entities in one country now have easier access to Investment opportunities in another. People and companies who had resources sitting ideal have now found new markets to invest in. This has improved those markets as well as giving wealth to the investors in a sort of win win situation.
D to 3
Computing since the days of the second World War and now are so Stark in difference that people then would probably view computing now as unfathomable. With this growth in computer processing, people around the world are able to trade faster and more efficiently with goods now at the tip of their fingers. Even stocks in Tokyo can easily be traded on by people in Cairo and in Alaska you can order a good from Sri Lanka. This accessibility has greatly improved trade.
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
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
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?
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.
Explanation:
satellite 1 satellite 2
initial cost $750,000 $850,000
if 2 satellites developed $150,000
development cost year 1 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
development cost year 2 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
development cost year 3 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
development cost year 4 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
development cost year 5 $150,000 $120,000
if 2 satellites developed $130,000
launch vehicle cost year 5 $275,000
if 2 satellites developed $75,000
revenue from launching $2,500,000 $2,500,000
bonus for launching both $1,000,000
MARR = 10%
since there is not enough room here, I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate NPVs of launching satellite 1, satellite 2 or both.
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?
Answer:
-$1.96 is the value.
Explanation:
The contract gives obligation to sell for $40 when a forward price negotiated today would give one obligation to sell for $42.
The value of contract is present value of
40 - 42= -$2
The rate is at 8%
8%= 0.08
3 months= 3/12= 0.25 years
The present value can be calculated as
Value of present contract= -2e^(0.08 x 0.25)
Value of present contract= -$1.96
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
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
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?
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 = $52break 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
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?
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
Blankenship Company pays its employees every Friday for work rendered that week. The payroll is typically $10,000 per week. What journal entry would be recorded (on Wednesday) if the end of the accounting period occurred on a Wednesday
Answer:
Dr salaries expense $6,000
Cr salaries payable $6,0000
Explanation:
Since the $10,000 payroll charge on Friday is for the whole week, an appropriate adjustment for month close on a Wednesday would to recognize the amount payable to employees for that week from Monday till Wednesday as follows:
Amount of salaries owed on Wednesday=$10,000*3/5=$6,000
The appropriate entries for the above would a debit to salaries expense for $6,000 while a credit goes to salaries payable
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.
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.
Uber has made several decisions creating new product lines aimed at growing revenue, such as establishing UberEats, Uber Fresh, and UberTASTE for food delivery; UberRUSH for package delivery; and UberCARGO and UberVAN for moving goods. This strategy is known as
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;CargoAnd 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.
Cheers!

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.
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.

Overapplied factory overhead would result if: Group of answer choices a. Factory overhead costs incurred were greater than costs charged to production. b. The plant was operated at less than normal capacity. c. Factory overhead costs incurred were less than costs charged to production. d. Factory overhead costs incurred were unreasonably large in relation to units produced.
Answer:
c. Factory overhead costs incurred were less than costs charged to production.
Explanation:
An overapplied factory overhead represents the excess amount of overhead used during a manufacturing period compared to the actual overhead incurred during the production or manufacturing period.
Simply stated, an overapplied factory overhead is the amount by which the estimated overhead is above the actual overhead incurred by a factor in the course of production.
Hence, an overapplied factory overhead would result if factory overhead costs incurred were less than costs charged to production.
This simply means that, if the factory overhead cost actually incurred in a production period is less than the estimated factory overhead cost applied, this is an overapplied factory overhead. If reverse of the above is the case, then it is referred to as underapplied factory overhead.
Additionally, if the difference between the two overhead cost is negative, then it is an overapplied factory overhead.
Your company currently has $ 1 comma 000 par, 6 % coupon bonds with 10 years to maturity and a price of $ 1 comma 078. If you want to issue new 10-year coupon bonds at par, what coupon rate do you need to set? Assume that for both bonds, the next coupon payment is due in exactly six months.
Answer:
The next coupon rate that is needed to set is 5.00%
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Your company presently has =$1,000 par
Coupon bonds = 6%
Maturity = 10 years
The next step is to find the coupon rate that is needed or required to set.
Now,
The number of semi annuals to maturity, NPER = (10 YEARS * 2)= 20
Semiannual coupon payments, PMT = ($1000 * 6%/2) = $30
The current selling price per bond (FV) = $1078
The maturity value at the end is = $1000
The semiannual compound type, = 0 (It is 0 if compounded at the end of each semiannual and is 1 if compounded at the start of each semiannual)
Semi annual interest rate is = 2.5%
Thus,
The number of semi annuals in a year is = 2
The annual coupon rate of bonds (new) = 2/50 % * 2
= 5.00%
It is important to note that the semi annual coupon rate is computed suing the excel function rate (nper, pmt, pv, fv, type),
Whereby
PV =1078
NPR = 20
PMT =30
FV = 1000
TYPE = 0.

In each of the following cases, what is the effect on the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve? An increase in firm costs A. does not shift the SRAS curve. B. shifts the SRAS curve upward. C. shifts the SRAS curve downward. An increase in the money supply A. does not shift the SRAS curve. B. shifts the SRAS curve downward. C. shifts the SRAS curve upward. An increase in consumption A. shifts the SRAS curve upward. B. does not shift the SRAS curve. C. shifts the SRAS curve downward.
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.
Your boss stops by to see how the research is progressing. She's concerned about your research plan. "I don't think we are ready to run causal research on the effects of advertising.

Answer: Research the attitudes that U.S. women and consumers over 35 have towards the eSports industry.
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.
