Answer:
2. reduced record-keeping
Explanation:
The decentralization is the chain of the processes in which the proper process of all department is followed
Just like from top-level to middle level and then lower level
And, the inverse is lower level to middle level to top level.
The authority and responsibility are delegated to each level of management so that the day to day operations could be performed in a smooth, effective and efficient manner
For the complex companies who adopt decentralization, they have all the benefits like delegation, problem identification but do not reduce record keeping as it is not an easy task for every company
Hence, option 2 is correct
Moody Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Machine-hours required to support estimated production 157,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 650,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 4.40 Required: 1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Job 400 was started and completed. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 320 Direct labor cost $ 230 Machine-hours used 37 Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 400. 3. If Job 400 includes 50 units, what is the unit product cost for this job
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated machine-hours= 157,000
Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead= $650,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $4.40
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overehad rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (650,000/157,000) + 4.4
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $8.54 per machine-hour
Job 400:
Direct materials $320
Direct labor cost $230
Machine-hours used 37
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated overhead= 8.54*37= $315.98
Finally, we need to determine the unitary cost for Job 400:
Total cost= 320 + 230 + 315.98= $865.98
Unitary cost= 865.98/50= $17.32
The price of coffe beans use to make coffee has decreased. At the same time, the price of cream (a compliment good) has increased. Given these two effects, what will happen to the current equilibrium quantity and price of coffee?
A. Equilibrium quantity will increase, equilibrium price will increase.
B. Equilibrium price will increase; the effect on quantity is ambiguous.
C. Equilibrium quantity will decrease; the effect on price is ambiguous.
D. Equilibrium price will decrease; the effect on quantity is ambiguous.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Equilibrium price will decrease; the effect on quantity is ambiguous. (D)
Explanation:
First, note that if the price of coffee beans, used in the manufacture of coffee decreases, the price of coffee sold to consumers will decrease, because it takes a lesser amount in manufacturing than it used to, therefore this reduction in manufacturing costs is reflected in the selling price.
Next, it is hard to tell whether this reduction in equilibrium price will affect quantity demanded, because, at the same time, the price of cream ( a complementary good) increases, and since both goods are complementary, they are bought together, and the effect of the reduction in the price of coffee might not necessarily caused an increase in the quantity demanded because this effect is cancelled out by the increase in the price of cream, hence the effect on quantity is ambiguous.

Suppose the demand for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) is given by Q = 250 - .25p + 4pc, where Q is the quantity of DVRs demanded (in 1000s), p is the price of a DVR, and pc is the price of cable television. How much does the quantity demanded for DVRs change if the p rises by $40?
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question
Suppose the demand for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) is given by Q = 250 - .25p + 4pc, where Q is the quantity of DVRs demanded (in 1000s), p is the price of a DVR, and pc is the price of cable television. How much does the quantity demanded for DVRs change if the p rises by $40? A) drops by 10,000 DVRs B) increases by 16,000 DVRs C) drops by 2,500 DVRs D) increases by 4,000
Answer:
Drops by 10,000 DVRs
Explanation:
The demand for digital video recorders is expressed by
Q= 250- .25p+4pc
Where
Q represents the quantity demanded by the customers
P represents the price of DVR
pc represents the price of cable television
Since the factor of p in the expression above is negative, this implies that the quantity of DVR demanded in the market will reduce
If the price of DVR increase by $40, then the quantity demanded will reduce by
= 0.25×40×1000
= 10×1000
= 10,000 units
Hence the quantity of DVRs drops by 10,000 DVRs if the price is increased to $40
The demand curve for the new computer game, Rock and Roll Trivia, is given as follows: Q = 200 - 5P - .1Pc - .5Pd + .2A - I Where P is the price of the game, Pc is the price of a computer, Pd is the price of a diskette, A is the level of advertising, and Q is the level of income. Suppose P = 10, Pc = 100, Pd = 2, A = 5, and I = 50. What is the price elasticity of demand?
Answer:
Income elasticity of demand = - 0.56
Explanation:
Given,
P=10, Pc=100, Pd=2, A=5, and I=50.
So,
Q=200-5(10)-.1(100)-.5(2)+.2(5)-(50).
Q=90 (level of income)
Computation:
Given , I = 50, Q = 90.
ΔQ / ΔI = -1
Income elasticity of demand = (ΔQ / ΔI) x (I / Q)
Income elasticity of demand = - 1 x (50 / 90)
Income elasticity of demand = - 0.56
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The advantage of the basic earning power ratio (BEP) over the return on total assets for judging a company's operating efficiency is that the BEP does not reflect the effects of debt and taxes. b. The price/earnings (P/E) ratio tells us how much investors are willing to pay for a dollar of current earnings. In general, investors regard companies with higher P/E ratios as being more risky and/or less likely to enjoy higher future growth. c. Other things held constant, the less debt a firm uses, the lower its return on total assets will be. d. Suppose you are analyzing two firms in the same industry. Firm A has a profit margin of 10% versus a margin of 8% for Firm B. Firm A's total debt to total capital ratio is 70% versus 20% for Firm B. Based only on these two facts, you cannot reach a conclusion as to which firm is better managed, because the difference in debt, not better management, could be the cause of Firm A's higher profit margin.
Answer: The advantage of the basic earning power ratio (BEP) over the return on total assets for judging a company's operating efficiency is that the BEP does not reflect the effects of debt and taxes
Explanation:
a. This is correct.
The advantage of basic earning power ratio over the return on the total assets for judging a firm's operating efficiency is that the basic earning power does not reflect effects of debt and taxes.
b. This is incorrect.
Only the price/earnings ratio of the company will tell us nothing about a company. When we compare the price/earnings of a company with the peers, we would know whether such company is under valued, or over valued or maybe fairly valued.
c. This is incorrect.
The total assets is made up of total liabilities plus the shareholders equity, when other things are held constant, less debt simply means less liabilities. To balance both sides, the total assets should reduce as the shareholder's equity is constant. When total assets decreases, the return on the assets will increase.
d. This is incorrect.
We can reach a conclusion on which firm is better managed based on the facts given. The debt ratio is the total liabilities divided by total assets, and a lower ratio is known to be good in comparison to a higher ratio. Similarly, the profit margin is the profit divided by the sales, and low profit margin shows high expenses and also a need for the management to decrease the expense.
Find the present value of $10,000 received at the start of every year for 20 years if the interest rate is J1 = 12% p.a. and if the first payment of $10,000 is received at the end of 10 years
Answer:
$ 26,935.56
Explanation:
The key to this question is that present value of those cash flows in year ten is the future value today.
PV=PMT*(1/i-1/i*(1+i)^n)*(1+i)
PMT is the annual amount receivable which is $10,000
i is 12% or 0.12
n is 20 years
1/i*(1+i)^=1/0.12*(1+0.12)^20=1/(0.12*9.646293093 )=0.863889709
1/i=1/0.12=8.333333333
1+i=1+0.12=1.12
PV=10,000*(8.333333333 -0.863889709 )*1.12
PV=10,000*7.469443624*1.12=$83,657.77
The PV In ten years' time is future value today, hence we need to discount that future value to today's terms
PV=FV*(1+r)^-n
n is ten
r is 12%
PV=$83,657.77*(1+12%)^-10=$ 26,935.56
g A stock will issue a dividend of $20 one year from today. Dividends will shrink by 3% per year for the next two years after that, and then remain constant forever. Find the current price of one share of this stock, given an effective annual rate of 6%.
Answer:
Current price = $341.943
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.
PV dividend in year 1 = 20 × 1.03^(-1)= 19.41747573
PV of dividend in year 2 = 97%× 20 × 1,03^(-2)= 18.28636064
PV of dividend in year 3 = 97%× 97%× 20× 1.03^(-3) = 17.22113575
PV of dividend from year 4 and beyond
This will be done in two steps
PV (in year 3 terms
(97%× 97%× 20× 1.03^(-3))/0.06 =313.6333333
PV in year o terms
PV = A/r
A= 313.63, r = 6%
313.63× 1.03^(-3)= 287.0189291
Price of stock = 19.41 +18.28 + 17.221 + 17.221= 341.943
Current price = $341.943
The Delta Manufacturing Company has a marginal tax rate of 21 %. The last dividend paid by Delta was $2.60. The expected long-run growth rate is 4%. If investors require 11% rate of return, what is the current price of the stock (P0)?
Answer:
The stock price is 38.63
Explanation:
We use the gordon model to calculate the horizon value and with htat the value of the stock:
[tex]\frac{D_1}{r-g} = PV\\\frac{D_0(1+g)}{r-g} = PV\\[/tex]
D1 = 2.60 x 1.04 = 2.704
rate of return 11% = 0.11
grow rate = 4% = 0.04
[tex]\frac{2.704}{0.11-0.04} = PV\\[/tex]
P0 = 38.62857143
The taxes should be ignored as the gordon model do not include them in the calculations
When the government sets an effective price floor suppliers are helped and consumers are helped. suppliers are hurt and consumers are helped. suppliers are helped and consumers are hurt. This is an incorrect answer. Have a nice day! supply increases due to the increase in price.
Answer:
suppliers are helped and consumers are hurt.
Explanation:
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the least price a good or service can be purchased.
A price floor is usually set above equilibrium price. As a result, the profit earned by sellers increase while the good becomes more expensive for consumers.

14. Operating and Cash outflow: Payment of an account payable.
15. Investing and Cash inflow: Sale of equipment for cash.
Explanation:
A statement of cash flow is a financial statement that gives the aggregate cash inflow and cash outflow in an organization during an accounting period. The three categories of statement of cash flows are investing activities, financing activities, and operating activities.
1. Investing activities are essentially the cash activities with respect to non-current assets such as sale of equipment for cash.
2. Financing activities refers to cash activities with respect to owners’ equity and non-current liabilities such as purchase of treasury stock.
3. Operating activities are mainly the cash activities with respect to net income such as payment of employee salaries.

Based on guidelines established by the accounting manager, Jaime, the accounts payable clerk, makes payments to vendors in order to maximize discounts. What type of decision does this represent?
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.

James is the landlord of an apartment containing 22 houses which are to be maintained by him and Lily is one of the tenants. In which of the following cases would the tenant be liable for an injury occurring on the leased premises?A) James was negligent in repairing the broken step on which Lily tripped and broke her ankle.B) Lily's nephew cut his finger with the knife that was negligently kept in Lily's kitchen.C) A little child at the apartment almost choked himself by consuming the paint that was chipping off the common wall between Lily's apartment and her neighbor's.D) The entire apartment caught fire and the fire extinguisher could not be used since it was installed only in Lily's rented house and she was out shopping.E) Lily's visitor got into the common lift in the apartment that suddenly crashed leading to severe injuries to Lily's visi
Answer: B) Lily's nephew cut his finger with the knife that was negligently kept in Lily's kitchen.
Explanation:
James as the landlord will be responsible for the structural or other defects of the house so long as it is the house that is the problem.
Activities that go on inside a tenants house that are caused by the actions of the tenants will not be a liability on the path of the landlord.
If an elevator is damaged or there weren't enough fire extinguishers or there was a broken step or poor quality paint was used, these are all defects related to the house itself and as such will result in negligence on the part of the landlord.
A child getting injured by a knife that Lily as a tenant left, in her apartment will.be the fault of Lily and the negligence can only be on her because it was due to actions by her as a tenant in her leased property.
If a fixed asset, such as a computer, were purchased on January 1st for $1,832.00 with an estimated life of 6 years and a salvage or residual value of $123.00, what is the journal entry for monthly expense under straight-line depreciation?
Answer:
Dr depreciation expense $ 23.74
Cr accumulated depreciation $ 23.74
Explanation:
The depreciation per month would be first thing to determine:
Yearly depreciation =Cost of asset-residual value/useful life
cost of asset is $1,832.00
residual value which is disposal value at the end of useful life is $123.00
Useful life is 6 years
yearly depreciation charge= ($1,832.00-$123.00)/6=$ 284.83
Monthly depreciation expense=yearly depreciation charge/12=$284.83/12=$23.74
The journal entry monthly would be a debit to depreciation expense and a credit to accumulated depreciation
Casper and Cecile divorced in 2018. As part of the divorce settlement, Casper transferred stock to Cecile. Casper purchased the stock for $25,000, and it had a market value of $43,000 on the date of the transfer. Cecile sold the stock for $40,000 a month after receiving it. In addition, Casper is required to pay Cecile $1,500 a month in alimony. He made five payments to her during the year.What are the tax consequences for Casper and Cecile regarding these transactions?
Answer:
According to IRS, the party making the payments is entitled to cancel the alimony & separate maintenance fees in a divorce situation while the party accepting the payment is obliged to include the amounts received in their gross revenue. Any transfer of property in respect of a divorce other than cash, however, is not taxable.The party receiving the property also does not recognize income and include the item on cost basis equal to basis of the party making transfer.

No, since the COGS were fairly simple (no beginning or ending inventory) you can just squeeze the information.3. Suppose 200,000 tents were produced (and 200,000 sold) but that the company had a beginning finished goods inventory of 10,000 tents produced in the prior year at $40 per unit. The company follows a first-in, first-out policy for its inventory (meaning that the units produced first are sold first for purposes of cost flow). (a) What effect does this have on the income statement?
Both gross profit and net profit would increase since COGS would be lower: COGS = (10,000 x $40) + (190,000 x $46) = $9,140,000, which is $60,000 less.(b) Prepare a cost of goods sold statement.

What is the optimal order and setup cost?
A) 139.B) 174.C) 184.D) 365.E) 548.
Answer:
C) 184
Explanation:
Options are inconsistent with data given.
Optimal Order is the level of order that is made to keep the setup cost to a minimum level.
It can be calculated by using following formula.
EPQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 X K X D}{h X ( 1 - x )}}[/tex]
K = Setup Cost = $50
D = Annual demand = 3,650 units
h = Holding cost = $12
x = daily demand rate/ daily production rate = 20 / 100 = 0.2
Placing values in the formula
EPQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 X 50 X 3650}{12 X ( 1 - 0.2 )}}[/tex]
EPQ = 194.99 units = 195 units
Answer according to correct data

The production order quantity for this problem is approximately
Answer
Options are inconsistent with data given.
Optimal Order is the level of order that is made to keep the setup cost to a minimum level.
It can be calculated by using following formula.
EPQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 X K X D}{h X ( 1 - x )}}[/tex]
K = Setup Cost = $50
D = Annual demand = 3,650 units
h = Holding cost = $12
x = daily demand rate/ daily production rate = 10 / 100 = 0.1
Placing values in the formula
EPQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 X 50 X 3650}{12 X ( 1 - 0.1 )}}[/tex]
EPQ = 183.84 units = 184 units
Burrito King (a new fast-food franchise opening up nationwide) has successfully automated burrito production for its drive-up fast-food establishments. The Burro-Master 9000 requires a constant 30 seconds to produce a batch of burritos. It has been estimated that customers will arrive at the drive-up window according to a Poisson distribution at an average of one every 45 seconds. To help determine the amount of space needed for the line at the drive-up window
A. What is the average line length (in cars)?
B. What is the average number of cars in the system (both in line and at the window)?
C. What is the expected average time in the system?
Answer:
(A)0.6600 (B) 1.325 (C) 0.997 or 1 minute
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The constant rate = 30 seconds
The arrival rate according to Poisson distribution is = 45 seconds
Now,
(A) We solve for the average length line of cars
The formula is given below:
Lq = λ²/ 2μ ( μ -λ)
Here,
λ = this is the mean time of arrival rate
μ = This is the mean service rate
Thus we compute for the mean time arrival rate which is given below:
The mean arrival rate λ = arrival rate/ 60 seconds
= 60/45
= 1.33 customer per minute
Then we solve for the means service rate which is given below
The mean service rate μ = 60 seconds/ mean rate
= 60/30 = 2 customer per minute
We will now solve for the average line length in cars which is shown below:
Lq = λ²/ 2μ ( μ -λ)
Lq = 1.33²/2*2 (2-1.33)
Lq = 1.7689/4 (0.67)
Lq = 1.7689/2.68
Lq = 0.6600
Therefore the average length in line for cars is 0.6600 cars
(B) We solve for the average number of cars in the system
Ls =Lq + λ /μ
Ls =0.600 + 1.33/2
Ls =0.6600 + 0.665
Ls = 1.325
(C) Finally we need to find the expected average time in the system which is shown below:
Ws = Ls/λ
Ws= 1.325/1.33 = 0.997 or 1.00
The expected time average in the system is 0.997 or 1.00 minutes.
(A) The average length in line for cars is 0.6600 cars
(B) Ls = 1.325
(C)The predicted time standard in the system is 0.997 or 1.00 minutes.
What is Average Time?The constant rate = 30 seconds
The arrival rate according to Poisson disbandment is = 45 seconds
(A) We solve for the average stature line of cars
The formula is given below:
Lq = λ²/ 2μ ( μ -λ)
Here,
λ = this is the meantime of arrival rate
μ = This is the mean service rate
Thus we compute for the meantime arrival rate which is given below:
The mean formation rate λ = arrival rate/ 60 seconds
= 60/45
= 1.33 customer per minute
Then we solve for the concessions service rate which is given below
The mean service rate μ = 60 seconds/ mean rate
= 60/30 = 2 consumer per minute
We will now solve for the average line length in cars which is shown below:
Lq = λ²/ 2μ ( μ -λ)
Lq = 1.33²/2*2 (2-1.33)
Lq = 1.7689/4 (0.67)
Lq = 1.7689/2.68
Lq = 0.6600
Hence the average length in line for cars is 0.6600 cars
(B) We solve for the average number of cars in the system
Ls =Lq + λ /μ
Ls =0.600 + 1.33/2
Ls =0.6600 + 0.665
Ls = 1.325
(C) Finally we need to find the anticipated average time in the system which is shown below:
Ws = Ls/λ
Ws= 1.325/1.33 = 0.997 or 1.00
The predicted time standard in the system is 0.997 or 1.00 minutes.

In 2016, Hudson Corp. sold 3,000 units at $150.00 each. Variable expenses were $113.00 per unit, and fixed expenses were $58,240. The same variable expenses per unit and fixed expenses are expected for 2017. If the company cuts selling price by 6.00%, what is its break-even point in units for 2017?
Answer:
Break even in units (2017) = 2080 units
Explanation:
The break even point in units is the number of units where the total revenue equals total cost. It is a point of no profit and no loss. The break even point in units is calculated as follows,
Break even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
A cut in selling price of 6% would mean that the new selling price will be,
New selling price = 150 - (150 * 0.06) = $141
Contribution margin per unit = 141 - 113 = $28
Break even in units = 58240 / 28
Break even in units (2017) = 2080 units
Johnson Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is established as a percentage of credit sales. For 2018, net credit sales totaled $5,800,000, and the estimated bad debt percentage is 1.40%. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $55,000 at the beginning of 2018 and $46,500, after adjusting entries, at the end of 2018. Required: 1. What is bad debt expense for 2018 as a percent of net credit sales
Answer:
Bad debt expense for 2018 is $81,200
Explanation:
2018 net credit sales = $5,800,000
Estimated bad debt percentage = 1.40%.
The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $55,000 at the beginning of 2018 and $46,500, after adjusting entries, at the end of 2018.
Bad debt expense = Estimated bad debt percentage × net credit sales
= 1.40% × $5,800,000
= $ 81,200
Fleet Delivery Corporation is a public company with a market capitalization of less than $75 million. Fleet is poised to issue securities in a transaction that, under the Securities Act of 1933, is "exempt." This enables Fleet to ______________.
Answer:
This enables Fleet to reduce costs of regulatory compliance in relation to the security issue
Explanation:
When a company is exempt under the Securities Act of 1993,this implies that when issuing securities in the market place,the stock exchange ,the company is not required to produce audited financial statements.
Auditing financial statements sometimes cost fortunes especially when it is also required that one of the Big-4 professional firms is to be consulted.
By not requiring audited financials,the costs of audit is saved,hence cost of compliance with exchange rules is reduced overall
