We want to help the user to understand why it gives more preference to the hourly job as compared to the salaries job with benefits
The reasons why the hourly job is better than accepting the salaried job with benefits are as follows:
Hourly job considered to be the goods job for earning the money in haste or at the time when the insurance & vacation should not be considered as the deciding factor. The question that arises is that you are searching for a job or interested to run a family business that has various benefits.Salary jobs provides the compensation along with the other benefits the company provides like insurance, vacation time, incentives, life insurance. In the case of hourly job, the number of hours they actually work and how much energy they would put into their work. They could choose their time also eligible for overtimeIn the case of salaried job, the same amount of money should be provided but along with it the stress should be there like working on weekends, working 10-12 hours a day, etcTherefore in these ways hourly job is better than accepting a salaried job with benefits

On January 1, 2021, Badger Inc. adopted the dollar-value LIFO method. The inventory cost on this date was $101,600. The ending inventory, valued at year-end costs, and the relative cost index for each of the next three years is below:
Year-end Ending inventory at year-end costs Cost Index
2021 $131,040 1.05
2022 150,040 1.10
2023 160,320 1.20
In determining the inventory balance for Badger to report in its 12/31/2022 balance sheet: _____________-
a. An additional layer of $12,760 is added to the 12/31/2021 balance.
b. An additional layer of $24,760 is added to the 12/31/2021 balance.
c. An additional layer of $23,760 is added to the 12/31/2021 balance.
d. None of these answer choices are correct.
Answer:
a. An additional layer of $12,760 is added to the 12/31/2021 balance.
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory balance is given below:
2021 Base year cost is
= $131,040 ÷ 1.05
= $124,800
Additional layer is
= $124,800 - $101,600
= $23,200
2022 Base year cost is
= $150,040 ÷ 1.10
= $136,400
Additional layer is
= ($136,400 - $124,800 ) × 1.10
= $11,600 1.10
= $12,760
Therefore the first option is correct

Explanation:
Sports Corp has 11.7 million shares of common stock outstanding, 6.7 million shares of preferred stock outstanding, and 2.7 million bonds. If the common shares are selling for $26.7 per share, the preferred share are selling for $14.2 per share, and the bonds are selling for 96.83 percent of par, what would be the weight used for common stock in the computation of Sports's WACC
Answer: 10.34%
Explanation:
First calculate the value of the company's total capital:
= Common stock + Preferred stock + Debt
= (11,700,000 * 26.70) + (6,700,000 * 14.20) + (2,700,000 * 96.83/100 * 1,000 par value)
= $3,021,940,000
The weight to be used for common stock is:
= Common stock value / Total capital value
= (11,700,000 * 26.70) / 3,021,940,000
= 312,390,000 / 3,021,940,000
= 10.34%

Comparing Three Depreciation Methods Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $249,400. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of four years, or 8,800 operating hours, and a residual value of $20,600. The equipment was used for 3,080 hours during Year 1, 1,848 hours in Year 2, 2,464 hours in Year 3, and 1,408 hours in Year 4. Required: 1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the four years ending December 31 by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the four years by each method. Round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar. Depreciation Expense Year Straight-Line Method Units-of-Activity Method Double-Declining- Balance Method Year 1 $fill in the blank 1 $fill in the blank 2 $fill in the blank 3 Year 2 $fill in the blank 4 $fill in the blank 5 $fill in the blank 6 Year 3 $fill in the blank 7 $fill in the blank 8 $fill in the blank 9 Year 4 $fill in the blank 10 $fill in the blank 11 $fill in the blank 12 Total $fill in the blank 13 $fill in the blank 14 $fill in the blank 15 2. What method yields the highest depreciation expense for Year 1
Answer:
Straight line :
Depreciation expense each of the four years is $57,200
total depreciation = $228,800
Double declining :
Year 1 = $124,700
Year 2 = $62350
Year 3 = $31,175
Year 4 = $15,588
Total depreciation expense = $233,813
Activity based depreciation
year 1 = $80,080
year 2 = $48,048
year 3 = $64,064
year 4 = $36,608
Total depreciation expense = $288,800
the deprecation method that yields the highest depreciation expense in year 1 is the double declining method
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($249,400 - $20,600) / 4 = $57,200
Depreciation expense each of the four years is $57,200
total depreciation = $57,200 x 4 = $228,800
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/4
Year 1 = 2/4 x $249,400 = 124,700
book value = $249,400 - 124,700 = 124,700
Year 2 = 2/4 x 124,700 = 62350
Book value = 124,700 - 62350 = 62350
Year 3 = 2/4 x 62350 = 31,175
book value = 62350 - 31,175 = 31,175
Year 4 = 2/4 x 31,175 = 15,587.50
Addition of the depreciation expenses = $233,812.50
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
($249,400 - $20,600) / 8,800 = 26
year 1 = 26 x 3,080 = $80,080
year 2 = 26 x 1,848 = $48,048
year 3 = 26 x 2,464 = $64,064
year 4 = 26 x 1,408 = $36,608
Addition of the depreciation expenses = $288,800
Given the following information, determine the cost of goods sold at December 31 using the LIFO periodic inventory method:
December 2: 5 units were purchased at $7 per unit.
December 9: 10 units were purchased at $9.40 per unit.
December 11: 12 units were sold at $35 per unit.
December 15: 20 units were purchased at $10.15 per unit.
December 22: 18 units were sold at $35 per unit.
a. $51.75
b. $94.00
c. $50.75
d. $83.22
e. $41.30
Answer:
COGS= $297
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
December 2: 5 units were purchased at $7 per unit.
December 9: 10 units were purchased at $9.40 per unit.
December 11: 12 units were sold at $35 per unit.
December 15: 20 units were purchased at $10.15 per unit.
December 22: 18 units were sold at $35 per unit.
First, we need to calculate the number of units sold:
Number of units sold= 12 + 18= 30
Now, under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the lasts units incorporated into inventory:
COGS= 20*10.15 + 10*9.4
COGS= $297
A stock has a beta of 1.45, the expected return on the market is 19 percent, and the risk-free rate is 5.00 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: 25.30%
Explanation:
This can be calculated by the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM):
= Risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - Risk free rate)
= 5% + 1.45 * (19% - 5%)
= 5% + 20.3
= 25.30%

Using the reciprocal services method, which of the following equations represents the algebraic expressions for the two equations needed to capture the total costs of a Janitorial Department (J) that includes not only $500,000 of direct costs but also 20% of the Maintenance Department (M) cost and a Maintenance Department that includes not only $250,000 of direct costs but also 40% of the Janitorial Department? (Hint: This equation is derived from the two separate equations representing each department's costs.)
a. J = ($500,000 × 0.20) + [($250,000 × 0.20) + J]
b. J = $500,000 – (0.20 × $250,000) – (0.20 × J)
c. J = $500,000 + [(0.20 ÷ $250,000) + (0.40 ÷ J)]
d. J = $500,000 + {0.20 × [$250,000 + (0.40 × J)]}
Answer:
The equation that represents the algebraic expressions for the two equations needed to capture the total costs of the Janitorial Department is:
d. J = $500,000 + {0.20 × [$250,000 + (0.40 × J)]}
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Direct costs Percent of Service Dept.
Janitorial Department (J) $500,000 20% of M
Maintenance Department (M) $250,000 40% of J
b) The reciprocal services method reapportions the costs of the service departments to other service departments using a system of simultaneous equations. With its complications, the reciprocal method is the most accurate and equitable method for apportioning service departments' costs to production departments.
Question 4 of 15. Barney and Len each own 40% of partnership BLT. On September 15, 2019, Barney sells his interest to Ted, who is a 20% partner. On September 16, 2020, Len sells his interest to Ted. When does the partnership terminate? 9/15/2020 9/16/2020 12/31/2020 The partnership does not terminate.
Answer: 9/16/2020
Explanation:
Following the information given in the question, it should be noted that the partnership will terminate on 9/16/2020.
A partnership is terminated in a situation whereby there's a transfer of interest such that there's only one partner who then remains. In this casez the termination date will be the date that the interest was sold. Since the sale of interest took place on September 16, 2020, then this will be the termination date.

A downward-sloping yield curve generally indicates which of the following
(I) higher current short-term interest rates
(II) higher inflation expectations in future years
(III) a strong possibly of a recession within the next year
a) (I) and (III).
b) (II).
c) (III) only.
d) all are correct.
Answer:
a
Explanation:
A yield curve is a graph that plots the interest rate of bonds at a set point in time.
When the yield curve is downward sloping, it is expected that short term interest rate would be higher than the long term interest rate.
A downward sloping yield curve can be an indictor of coming recession.
A recession is when the GDP of a country for two consecutive quarters is negative. In a period of recession, interest rate is usually lower.
A downward sloping yield curve can also be an indicator that there is an expectation of lower inflation rate in coming years.
If the yield curve is upward sloping, the short term interest rate would be lower than the long term interest rate
A flat yield curve is an indicator that interest rate would be constant
Denny Corporation is considering replacing a technologically obsolete machine with a new state-of-the-art numerically controlled machine. The new machine would cost $130,000 and would have a ten-year useful life. Unfortunately, the new machine would have no salvage value. The new machine would cost $16,000 per year to operate and maintain, but would save $46,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now for scrap for $13,000. The simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to (Ignore income taxes.):
Answer:
The simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to 14.53%.
Explanation:
Assuming a straight-line depreciation method, we have:
Annual deprecation = Cost of the new machine / Useful life = $130,000 / 10 = $13,000
Net annual benefit = Annual saving - Annual operating and maintenance cost - Annual deprecation = $46,000 - $16,000 - $13,000 = $17,000
Net investment = Cost of the new machine - Scrap value of the old machine = $130,000 - $13,000 = $117,000
Simple rate of return on the new machine = Net annual benefit / Net investment = $17,000 / $117,000 = 0.1453, or 14.53%
Therefore, the simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to 14.53%.
The direct method of reporting operating cash flows: ________
a. Separately lists cash receipts and payments.
b. Must be used by all companies.
c. Is used by most companies.
d. Is considered supplementary disclosure.
e. Is not recommended by the FASB, but is commonly used.
Answer:
e. Is not recommended by the FASB, but is commonly used.
Explanation:
A statement of cash flows is also known as cash flow statement and it is a financial statement which is used to illustrate how changes in income and various account of the balance sheet affect cash and cash equivalents.
The statement of cash flows is also used by financial experts or accountants to breakdown the cash-flow analysis into;
1. Cash-flow from investing activities: it represents the cash flow from investment such as proceeds from the sale of plant, equipments etc.
2. Cash-flow from financing activities: it represents the cash flow from debt or equity. Typically, it's the costs used in a financing a business.
3. Cash-flow from operating activities: it represents cash-flow and transactions from operational business activities such as employee salary, sales of goods etc.
Generally, the statement of cash flows provides financial information about an organization's operating profitability and how it use its operating cash flow.
Financial accounting standards board (FASB) is a private, non-profit organization saddled with the responsibility of establishing and maintaining financial accounting and reporting standards for general guidance of individuals or capital providers such as investors, issuers and auditors.
In Financial accounting, the direct method of reporting operating cash flows uses actual cash inflows and outflows from the operating activities of a company by generating data from the income statement (cash receipts and cash disbursements/payments).
However, the direct method of reporting operating cash flows is not recommended by the FASB, but it's commonly used.
This ultimately implies that, it's a recommended accounting method, but it's not an accounting standard required by the financial accounting standards board (FASB).
Suppose a group of people read an article on capital punishment. Prior to reading the article, 60% of the members of the group were opposed to capital punishment, while 40% of the members of the group were in favor of capital punishment. According to studies of human decision-making, which of the following is likely?
a. The members of the group would elect a representative in favor of capital punishment.
b. After reading the article, all members of the group are in favor of capital punishment.
c. After reading the article, all members of the group oppose capital punishment.
d. After reading the article, 60% of the members of the group are opposed and 40% of the members of the group are in favor of capital punishment.
Answer:
According to studies of human decision-making, the most likely is:
c. After reading the article, all members of the group oppose capital punishment.
Explanation:
The article, provided for reading by supporters and opposers, will likely sway the 40% of the group, who are initially supportive of capital punishment, to now oppose capital punishment,especially if the article critically opposes capital punishment. There is no way majority of the group will support capital punishment. Therefore, options a and b are incorrect. For option d, after reading the article, the opinions of some opposers and supporters may shift either way. They will not remain the same as before.

Explanation:
The Most Brilliant Professor Mullen Company's past experience indicates that 60% of its credit sales are collected in the month of sale, 30% in the next month, and 5% in the second month after the sale; the remainder (5%) is never collected. Budgeted credit sales were: January $240,000 February 144,000 March 360,000 The cash inflow (CRJ) in the month of March is expected to be A) $271,200. B) $205,200. C) $216,000. D) $259,200.
Answer: A. $271,200
Explanation:
Cash inflow in March will be:
= (60% * March sales) + (30% * February sales) + (5% * January sales)
= (60% * 360,000) + (30% * 144,000) + (5% * 240,000)
= 216,000 + 43,200 + 12,000
= $271,200

If the price of oil, a close substitute for coal, increases then:
a. the demand curve for coal will shift to the right.
b. equilibrium price and quantity of coal will not change.
c. supply curve for coal will shift to the right.
d. demand curve for coal will shift to the left.
e. supply curve of coal will shift to the left.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
if the price of a good increases, the demand for the substitute increases and if the price of the good reduces, the demand for the substitute increases.
If the price of oil increases, it becomes cheaper to buy coal. As a result, there would be a rightward shift of the demand curve for coal. As a result, the equilibrium price and quantity would increase
The board of commissioners of the City of Hartmoore adopts a general fund budget for the year ending June 30, 2020. It includes revenues of $1,530,000, bond proceeds of $402,500, appropriations of $1,100,000, and operating transfers out of $502,500. If this budget is formally integrated into the accounting records, what journal entry is required at the beginning of the year? What later entry is required?
Solution :
Estimated revenues = $1,530,000
Other financing sources - bond proceeds = $402,500
Appropriations = $1,100,000
Est other fin uses = $502,500
Budgetary fund balance = $195,000
Appropriations = $1,100,000
Est other fin uses = $502,500
Budgetary fund balance = $195,000
Est Rev = $1,530,000
Other fin sources bond proceeds = $402,500
A firm with earnings before interest and taxes of $500,000 needs $1 million of additional funds. If it issues debt, the bonds will mature after 20 years and pay interest of 8 percent. The firm could issue preferred stock with a dividend rate of 8 percent. The firm has 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding and is in the 30 percent income tax bracket. What are the (1) earnings per common share under the two alternatives, (2) the times-interest-earned if the firm uses debt financing, and (3) the times-dividend-earned if the firm uses preferred stock financing
Answer:
Calculation of Earning Per Share
Particulars Debt Alternative($) Preferred Stock($)
Amount Required 1,000,000 1,000,000
Earning before Interest and Tax 500,000 500,000
Less: Interest Cost(8%) 80,000 ----
Earning After Interest 420,000 500,000
Tax(30%) 126,000 150,000
Earning After Tax 294,000 350,000
Less: Dividend to Pref. Shares 80,000
Earning Avai. for C. Stockholders 294,000 270,000
Outstanding shares 100,000 100,000
Earning Per Common Share 2.94 2.70
2. Times Interest Earned Ratio = EBIT / Interest
Times Interest Earned Ratio = 500,000 / 80,000
Times Interest Earned Ratio = 6.25 Times
3. Times Dividend Earned Ratio = Net Income / Preferred Dividend
Times Dividend Earned Ratio = 350,000 / 80,000
Times Dividend Earned Ratio = 4.375 Times

2. The company sold 4,220 staplers for cash at a selling price of $45 each.
Required: Determine the ending inventory and cost of goods sold using the three different cost flow assumptions: FIFO, LIFO, and Weighted Average.
Answer:
Bold Stapler Sales Company (BSS)
FIFO LIFO Weighted Average
Ending inventory $4,500 $3,240 $4,122
Cost of goods sold $96,300 $97,560 $96,678
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning balances in 2019:
Cash $80,000
Inventory $7,200
Common stock $2,000
Retained earnings $2,000
Description Units Unit Cost Total
Beginning inventory 400 $18 $7,200
The first purchase 1,600 $21 33,600
The second purchase 2,400 $25 60,000
Goods available 4,400 $100,800
Sales of units (4,220) $45 $189,900
Ending inventory 180
FIFO:
Ending inventory = $4,500 ($25 * 180)
Cost of goods sold = $96,300 ($100,800 - $4,500)
LIFO:
Ending inventory = $3,240 ($18 * 180)
Cost of goods sold = $97,560 ($100,800 - $3,240)
Weighted Average:
Weighted average cost per unit = $22.91 ($100,800/4,400)
Ending inventory = $4,122 (22.91 * 180)
Cost of goods sold = $96,678 ($100,800 - $4,122)
