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.
W.T. Ginsburg Engine Company manufactures part ACT30107 used in several of its engine models. Monthly production costs for 1,090 units are as follows: Direct materials $46,000 Direct labor 10,500 Variable overhead costs 32,500 Fixed overhead costs 22,000 Total costs $111,000 It is estimated that 6% of the fixed overhead costs assigned to ACT30107 will no longer be incurred if the company purchases ACT30107 from the outside supplier. W.T Ginsburg Engine Company has the option of purchasing the part from an outside supplier at $94.75 per unit. If the company accepts the offer from the outside supplier, the monthly avoidable costs (costs that will no longer be incurred) total ________.
Answer:
Cost that will no longer be incurred = $90320
Explanation:
$
The relevant variable cost
= 46,000 + 10,500 + 32,500 $89,000
Cost of external supply
= 94.75 × 1090= $103,277.50
Increase in of purchase 14,277.50
Savings in fixed cost (6%× 22,000) ( 1320
Net increase in cost if purchased 12,957.50
Cost that will no longer be incurred = 89,000 +1320 = $90320
Cost that will no longer be incurred = $90320
Personal Selling is :
a. The two-way flow of communication between a buyer and seller, often in a face-to-face encounter, designed to influence a person’s or group’s purchase decision.
b. A nonpersonal, indirectly paid presentation of an organization, product, or service.
c. A short-term inducement of value offered to arouse interest in buying a product or service.
d. Promotional alternative that uses direct communication with consumers to generate a response in the form of an order, a request for further information, or a visit to a retail outlet.
Answer:
Option A. The two-way flow of communication between a buyer and seller, often in a face-to-face encounter, designed to influence a person’s or group’s purchase decision.
Explanation:
The reason is that the personal selling is the face to face selling which means two way flow of communication is necessary. The seller will use his marketing exprience to influence the buyer which results in greater sales and customer satisfaction. So it is the face to face selling method which most of the companies opt and this way of selling is known as personal selling.
All of the following are part of comprehensive income except:
a. realized gains on sale of available-for-sale-securities.
b. unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale-securities.
c. a re-classification adjustment for gains included in net income.
d. all of these answer choices are correct.
Answer: d. all of these answer choices are correct
Explanation:
Available for sale securities are held by a firm with the intention of selling it before it reaches its maturity date.
So as not to report on the income statement wrongly, the Unrealized gains(losses) which are any fluctuations from the original price, throughout the Security's lifetime is posted to the Other Comprehensive Income account in the Equity section of the balance sheet. That along with the Realized gains when the security is sold.
Reclassification adjustments are also included to account for the reclassification of a security to either a profit or a loss.
All of the above are correct.
Alpaca Corporation had revenues of $250,000 in its first year of operations. The company has not collected on $18,900 of its sales and still owes $27,000 on $96,000 of merchandise it purchased. The company had no inventory on hand at the end of the year. The company paid $12,700 in salaries. Owners invested $14,000 in the business and $14,000 was borrowed on a five-year note. The company paid $3,800 in interest that was the amount owed for the year, and paid $7,800 for a two-year insurance policy on the first day of business. Alpaca has an effective income tax rate of 40%. (Assume taxes are paid in the same year). Compute the cash balance at the end of the first year for Alpaca Corporation.
Answer:
$84,360.00
Explanation:
The cash balance at the end of the year is simply total cash receipts minus total cash payments which is further analyzed below:
Cash receipt from sales=total sales-accounts receivable=$250,000-$18,900=$ 231,100.00
Cash paid for merchandise purchase=purchases-accounts payable=$96,000-$27,000=$69,000
Salaries paid $12,700
Cash from owners is $14,000
cash from borrowing is $14,000
interest paid is $3800
insurance paid is $7,800
Tax paid=(sales-purchases-salaries paid-insurance cost(one year)-interest paid)*tax rate
insurance for one year=$7800*1/2=$3,900
tax paid=($250,000-$96,000-$12,700-$3,800-$3,900)*40%=$53440
Cash balance=$231,100-$69,000-$12,700+$14,000-$14,000-$3800-$7800-$53440=$84,360.00

On December 31, 2018, Interlink Communications issued 6% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $107 million. The bonds mature on December 31, 2048. Interest is payable annually on each December 31, beginning in 2019. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Determine the price of the bonds on December 31, 2018, assuming that the market rate of interest for similar bonds was 7%. (Enter your answers in whole dollars. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
$93,725,580.00
Explanation:
The market price of the bond is the present value of annual coupon payment plus the present value of face amount receivable at the end of the bond tenure.
Annual coupon interest=face amount*stated rate=$107,000,000*6%=$6,420,000.00
Face amount=$107,000,000
The discount factor for annual coupon is the present of 30 years annuity(2048-2018) at 7% market rate, which is 12.4090
The discount factor for the face value is 0.1314
Price of the bond=($6,420,000.00*12.4090)+($107,000,000*0.1314)=$93,725,580.00
Other things equal, the multiplier will be greater

Reliance Corporation sold 4,500 units of its product at a price of $20 per unit. Total variable cost per unit is $11.00, consisting of $10.10 in variable production cost and $0.90 in variable selling and administrative cost. Compute the contribution margin for the company.
Answer:
$40,500
Explanation:
A Companies Contribution Margin is a product's price minus all associated variable costs, this final value gives the products incremental profit earned for each unit sold. Therefore in this scenario, the Contribution Margin for the company is as follows
(4,500 * $20) - (4,500 * $11)
$90,000 - $49,500
$40,500
Therefore the final Contribution Margin for the company is $40,500 dollars.

The steps in the accounting cycle are:
a) Analyzing each transaction from source documents, e.g. from Sales Invoice. This shows the accounts affected and even the effect of the transaction on the accounting equation.
b) Journal Entries: This involves using the doubt entry system of accounting to record transactions in the general journal. This is the first accounting record. It shows the accounts to be debited and the ones to be credited in the General Ledger.
c) General Ledger: Each transaction is posted to their respective accounts in the ledger, depending on journal entries. Usually, two accounts are affected by each transaction, just like in the journal.
d) The fourth step is the extraction of a Trial Balance. This is an accounting tool for checking that the first three steps have been completely and correctly followed.

A company is considering purchasing a new production machine and have identified two potential options. Option A has a first cost of $1450 but will produce annual revenues of $650 while incurring $245 worth of maintenance. Option B has a purchase price of $1130 with annual revenues of $445 and maintenance costs of $147. One of your colleagues has done an internal rate of return analysis on Option A and determined it had an IRR=12.28%
a. Your boss has asked you to determine the IRR for option B, assuming that both options have same service life
b. Assuming the two production machines are independent and the company has a MARR of 11%, what should the company do?
Answer:
a. The IRR for the option B will be 9.988%.
b. The company would accept option A and reject the option B
Explanation:
a. To calculate the IRR for option B we first need to determine the service life of the option A.
If R = 12.28%
Net annual benefits = 650-245=$405
Then, 1450= 405*(1-1/1.1228^n)/.1228
1/1.1228^n =1 - 1450*.1228/405 = .5603
1.1228^n = 1.7846
n = log(1.7846)/log(1.1228) = 5 years
Therefore, For option B
Let, IRR = R
Net annual benefit = 445-147 = $298
1130 = 298*(1-1/(1+R)^5)/R
At R = 9%
PV of cash inflows = $1159.12
At R = 10%
PV of cash inflows = $1129.65
As per the method of interpolation,
R = 9% + ((1159.12 - 1130)/( 1159.12-1129.65))*(10%-9%)
R = 9.988%
Thus, IRR for the option B will be 9.988%.
b. According to the given data to selection the any option, the value of IRR must be greater than or equal to the MARR. in this case, option A has the IRR of 12.28% that is greater than the MARR of 11%. But, it is not the case with option B whose IRR is only 9.988% and it is less than the MARR of 11%.
Thus, option A will be accepted and option B will be rejected.

It sells a single product for $50 per unit. Budgeted sales for the next three months follow. January February March Sales in units 1,000 2,600 1,200 Prepare a sales budget for the months of January, February, and March.
Answer:
Sale budget January= $50,000
Sales budget February= $130,000
Sales budget March= $60,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
It sells a single product for $50 per unit. Budgeted sales for the next three months follow. January February March Sales in units 1,000 2,600 1,200
The sales budget is a simple multiplication between the selling price per unit and the number of units sold.
Sale budget January= 1,000*50= $50,000
Sales budget February= 2,600*50= $130,000
Sales budget March= 1,200*50= $60,000

American Express trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol AXP. In 2016, AXP was paying a dividend of $.80 and analysts forecasted five-year growth rates of 10.54% for AXP and 13.21% for the financial services industry. Assume the growth rate for the financial services industry will remain constant. Then, assuming AXP's growth rate will revert to the industry average after five years, what value would we place on AXP, if we use a discount rate of 15%
Answer:
The current value placed on AXP is $ 45.08
Explanation:
Dividend currently paying = $ 0.80
Growth rate up to 5 years = 10.54%
Expected dividend for 1st year = $0.80 × 1.1054 = $0.88
Year Dividend amount Present Value at 15%
0 0.8
1 0.88 0.77
2 0.98 0.74
3 1.08 0.71
4 1.19 0.68
5 1.32 0.66
Growth rate = 13.21% from 6th year and onward
Expected dividend for 6th year = $1.32 × 1.1321 = $1.49
Value of the AXP at 5th year with constant growth at 13.21%
= $1.49 ÷ (0.15 - 0.1321)
= $83.51
Value of the AXP currently = P.V. of dividend payable in first 5 years + Present Value at 5th year at 15%
= $0.77 + $ 0.74 + $ 0.71 + $ 0.68 + $0.66 + ($83.51 × 0.4971 )
= $ 45.08
A company uses direct labor costs as it allocation base. Management estimates the company will incur $150,000 of direct labor cost during the year and total overhead costs of $200,000. What is their predetermined overhead rate? 1.33% 133% 50% 75%
Answer:
133.33%
Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = Total overhead cost ÷ direct labor cost
where,
Total overhead cost is $200,000
And, the direct labor cost is $150,000
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the predetermined overhead rate is
= $200,000 ÷ $150,000
= 1.33%
We simply applied the above formula
Mark can produce 50 baseballs in a month and Katie can produce 60 baseballs in a month. Also, Mark can produce 40 bats in a month and Katie can produce 30 bats in a month. ______________has the absolute advantage in the production of bats, and _____________ has the comparative advantage in the production of bats. Group of answer choices
Answer:
Mark has the absolute advantage in the production of bats.
Mark has the comparative advantage in the production of bats
Explanation:
The absolute advantage is a principle in which a party is able to produce a good more efficiently than the others. In this situation, Mark can produce 40 bats while Katie can produce 30 bats which indicates that Mark can produce them more efficiently having an absolute advantage in the production of bats.
The comparative advantage is a principle in which a party has the ability to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than others. In this situation:
Baseballs Bats
Mark 50 40
Katie 60 30
The opportunity cost for Mark of producing 1 bat is producing 1.25 baseballs and the opportunity cost for Katie of producing 1 bat is producing 2 baseballs. This means that Mark has a lower opportunity cost and the comparative advantage in the production of bats.

What are some examples of potential intangible benefits of investment proposals? Why do these intangible benefits complicate the capital budgeting evaluation process? What might happen if intangible benefits are ignored in a capital budgeting decision?
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
An intangible benefit is a subjective benefit that one can't actually touch, and is also difficult to measure in terms of dollar.
Examples of potential intangible benefits of investment proposals will be the improved safety, increased product quality, and an enhanced employee loyalty.
Intangible benefits complicate capital budgeting evaluation process due to the fact that they can't be easily measured, hence, their value can be hard to quantify.
When intangible benefits are ignored in a capital budgeting decision, it
may result in rejecting of projects that may have financial benefits to the company.
Read the following situation, and then answer the questions.
You have been working in an entry-level position in the Environmental Health and Safety division of a company for the last six months. You spend your time reviewing safety reports, entering them into the database, and compiling statistical analyses of the results for your superior, Ray Blaine. Lately, Mr. Blaine has been asking you when each report will be finished. Following this query, Mr. Blaine often compliments you on the results of your past analyses.
1) What is the most important message your superior is trying to deliver?
A. He is worried about the results of your analysis.
B. He wants to know when the report will be ready.
C. You are ready for a promotion.
2) What can you do to listen more effectively to your superior?
A. Lean forward and make eye contact.
B. Paraphrase his questions in return.
C. Ask questions in return.
Answer:
1)B
2)C
Explanation:
1) Mr. Blaine wants to know when will the results be ready. He is complimenting to let you know that he has good expectations from you.
2) Asking questions in return lets the other person know that you are interested in the conversation.
Answer:
Question 1 answer is B
Question 2 answer is C
Explanation:
1. From the data in the question, we can tell what your superior has in mind.
- The fact that Mr Blaine has been asking when each report will be finished shows that he is concerned ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME it takes you to complete work on a safety report.
- He often compliments you on the results of your past analyses. This means that he is recertifying that your results come out fine and accurate BUT need to start coming out FASTER. He uses the compliments to lift your spirit so you don't feel downcast by the complaints. So you can be sure that as far as the work is concerned, YOU ARE GETTING IT RIGHT but as far as delivery window is concerned, you are delivering SLOWLY.
So the answer is B - he is most concerned about the timeframe you use to go through each report. He wants you to understand that good timing adds to the quality of a result!
2. The three options here are things you can do, to listen more effectively to your superior. The most important though is C.
You need to ask questions in return!
- Ask questions on the clarification of what exactly you are expected to do, in order to produce results that are both accurate and timely.
- Ask Mr. Blaine how he thinks you should go about it.
- Ask questions where you don't understand
- Ask when exactly you are to submit each result
After he replies, put his advice and corrections into practice.

Explanation:
a. In order to calculate the capital account balance of each partner after the liquidation of assets and the payment of creditors we would have to make the following calculations:
Field Brown Snow Total
Initial Investment $131,700 $167,700 $155,400 454,800
Allocation of all losses: 135,900 135,900 135,900 407,700
(454,800-47,100)/3
Capital Balance -4,200 31,800 19,500 47,100
b. a. The record of the cash receipt from the deficient partner(s) would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Cash 4,200
Field capital 4,200
b. The record the final disbursement of cash to the partners would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Brown capital 31,800
Snow capital 19,500
Cash 51,300
c. a Record to transfer the deficit of any deficient partners to the other partners would be as follows:

Snow capital 2100
Field Capital 4,200
Brown capital= 4,200/2=2100
Snow capital=4,200/2=2100
b. Record the final disbursement of cash to the partners would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Brown capital 29,700
Snow capital 17,400
Cash 47,100
Brown capital=31,800-2,100 =29,700
Snow capital=19,500-2,100=17,400
The following table shows a simplified consolidated balance sheet for the entire
banking system (all figures are in billions). The reserve ratio is 25 percent.
Assets Liabilities &Equity
Reserves 96 Checkable Deposits 400
Securities 104
Loans 200
a. 1. What is the amount of excess reserves in this banking system?
2. What is the maximum amount the banking system might lend?
3. Show how the balance sheet would look after this amount has been lent
(construct new balance sheet or add columns).
4. What is the size of the monetary multiplier?
b. 1. Answer the questions in part a assuming the reserve ratio is 15 percent.
2. What is the resulting difference in the amount that the banking system can
lend? How do you explain the difference?
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Excess reserve = (Actual reserve - required reserve)
Required reserve = reserve ratio × Checkable deposit
Required reserve = 0.25 × $400 billion
Required reserve = $100 billion
Excess reserve = $96 - $100 = - $4billion
B) money multiplier = 1/ required reserve ratio
1/0.25 = 4
Maxumum amount that can be Lent = 4 × 4 = $16 million
If reserve ratio = 15%
Required reserve = 0.15 × $400 billion = $60 billion
Excess reserve = $96 - $60 = $36 billion
Monetary multiplier = 1/ 0.15 = 6.667
Maximum amount of loan = 6.667 × 36 = $240 billion
Management of Mittel Rhein AG of Köln, Germany, would like to reduce the amount of time between when a customer places an order and when the order is shipped. For the first quarter of operations during the current year the following data were reported: Inspection time 0.3 days Wait time (from order to start of production) 14.0 days Process time 2.7 days Move time 1.0 days Queue time 5.0 days
1.Compute the throughput time.
2. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
3. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities? (Enter your answer as a percentage (i.e., 0.12 should be entered as 12).)
4.Compute the delivery cycle time.
5. If by using Lean Production all queue time during production is eliminated, what will be the new MCE? (Round your percentage answer to 1 decimal place (i.e., 0.123 should be entered as 12.3).)
Answer:
1. The throughput time is 9 days
2. The MCE is 0.30
3. 70% of the throughput time was spent on non-value added activities.
4. The delivery cycle time is 23 days
5. The New MCE is 67.5%
Explanation:
1. To calculate the throughput time we would have to use to make the following calculation:
throughput time=process time+inspection time+movie time+queue time
throughput time=2.7+0.3+1+5
throughput time=9 days
2. To calculate the MCE we would have to use to make the following calculation:
MCE=value added time/throughput time
MCE=2.7/9=0.30
3. MCE is 30% which means that out of the total throughput time, time spent on value added activities was 30%. Thus it means that 70% of the throughput time was spent on non-value added activities.
4. To calculate the delivery cycle time we would have to use to make the following calculation:
delivery cycle time=wait time+throughput time
delivery cycle time=14+9=23 days
5. To calculate the new MCE we would have to use to make the following calculation:
New MCE=value added time/throughput time
New MCE=2.7/4
New MCE=67.5%
1. Based on the information given the throughput time is 9 days.
2. The manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter is 30%.
3. The percentage of the throughput time is 70%.
4. The delivery cycle time is 23 days.
5. The New MCE is 68%.
1. Throughput time
Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time
Throughput time= 2.7 +0.3+ 1.0 + 5.0
Throughput time=9 days
2. Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE)
Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) = Value-added time / Throughput time
Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) = 2.7 /9
Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE)=30%
3. Non-value-added activities
Non-value-added activities = 100% - 30%
Non-value-added activities = 70%
4. Delivery cycle time
Delivery cycle time = Wait time + throughput time
Delivery cycle time = 14.0 + 9.0
Delivery cycle time = 23 days
5. New MCE
New MCE = Value-added time / Throughput time
New MCE=2.7/(0.3+2.7+1.0)
New MCE 2.7 / 4
New MCE =67.5%
New MCE =68% (Approximately)
