How did industrialization and unionization need to outsourcing

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: It is often assumed that manufacturing workers in developing countries, as recipients of outsourced jobs, would achieve economic benefits and organizational power. The author argues that job growth in developing countries through outsourcing to competing firms has often actually resulted in declining unionization and lower wage rates relative to traditional, integrated manufacturing firms. Using time-series data on union membership from 1980-2003 for Honduras and El Salvador as well as 2004 Household Survey Data for El Salvador, he examines the determinants of unionization rates and wages in the manufacturing sectors. He finds that that competitive outsourcing hurts labor at the plant-level in three ways: 1) it reduces labor's strike leverage by geographically dispersing the production process; 2) it increases the threat of plant mobility by decreasing plant-level investments; and 3) it increases labor costs relative to total costs, which creates an incentive for employers to keep wages low and unions out.

Answers

Answer:

Designing =  $32.50 per designer hour

Sizing and cutting =  $23.50 per machine hour

Stitching and trimming =  $18.85 per labor hour

Wrapping and packing = $11.10 per finished unit

Explanation:

The Activity Based Overhead Costing involves calculation of cost driver rate for each activity center.

Cost Driver Rate = Cost of Activity / Number of Times that Activity is Performed

Designing = $455,000 / 14,000

                 = $32.50

Sizing and cutting = $3,948,000 / 168,000

                              = $23.50

Stitching and trimming = $1,479,725 / 78,500

                                      = $18.85

Wrapping and packing = $333,000 / 30,000

                                      = $11.10

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

Answers

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

Answers

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

The break-even point is derived by dividing the fixed costs of production by the price per unit - the variable costs of production. Break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the Income for the particular product

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?

Answers

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

Answers

Answer:

Mark-up =22.64%

Explanation:

Profit = Return on Investment (%) × assets\

Profit = 25% × 700,000 = 175,000

Total variable cost = (4.60+ 1.88+ 1.13+ 4.50 )× 60,000= 726600

Total cost = Total variable cost + total fixed cost

                  =  726600  + 38,700+ 7,500= 772800

Mark-up = profit/cost × 100

              = 175,000/726,600 × 100 = 22.64%

Mark-up =22.64%

You have $17,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 15 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 10 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.15 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y

Answers

Answer:

For X = $7,130

For Y = $9,690

Explanation:

The calculation of investment in stock X and stock Y is shown below:-

We assume the weight of investment in stock x = x

Expected return = Weight of x × Return of x + Weight of y × Return of y

12.15 = x × 15 + (1 - x) × 10

12.15 = 15x + 10 - 10x

x = (12.15 - 10) ÷ 5

x = 43%

Investment in stock Y = 100 - 43

= 57%

Now,

Dollar Investment in x = Stock investment × Expected return

= $17,000 × 43%

= $7,130

Dollar Investment in x = Stock investment × Expected return

= $17,000 × 57%

= $9,690

So, we have applied the above formula.

An asset was acquired on September 30, 2021, for $104,000 with an estimated five-year life and $25,000 residual value. The company uses double-declining-balance depreciation. Calculate the gain or loss if the asset was sold on December 31, 2022, for $54,000. Partial-year depreciation is to be calculated.

Answers

Answer:

There is a loss on disposal of $80

Explanation:

The double declining rate method of depreciation is an accelerated form of charging depreciation on an asset. It charges higher depreciation in the earlier years and lower depreciation in the later years of the useful life of the asset. the formula for double declining balance depreciation per year is,

Depreciation expense = 2 * [ (Cost - Accumulated depreciation) / estimated useful life of the asset ]

The depreciation expense per year on this asset is,

Depreciation expense = 2 * [(104000 - 0) / 5]

Depreciation expense for the 1 year(2021) = $41600

As the asset was purchased in September, we will charge a depreciation expense of 4 months.

Depreciation expense for 2021 = 31600 * 4/12   = $13866.67

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2021 = $13866.67

Depreciation expense for 2nd year (2022) = 2 * [(104000 - 13866.67) / 5]

Depreciation expense for 2nd year (2022) = $36053.33

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2022 = 13866.67 + 36053.33

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2022 = $49920

To calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we need to determine the Net Book value of the asset at the end of 2022 and compare it with the cash received from the sale. If the cash received is more than the Net Book Value, there is a gain on disposal and if the cash received is less than the Net Book Value, there is a loss on disposal.

Net Book value at the end of 2022 = 104000 - 49920   = $54080

Loss on disposal = 54000 - 54080  =  - $80 (loss on disposal)

The loss on the sale of the asset is $2,160.

There would be a loss on the sale of the asset is the book value of the asset is greater than the selling price of the asset.

Depreciation is a method used to reduce the carrying value of an asset.

Double declining depreciation = (2/ useful life) x cost of the asset

Depreciation expense in 2021 = (2/5) x $104,000 = $41,600

3/12 x  $41,600 = $10,400

Book value in 2021 = $104,000 - $10,400 = $93,600

Depreciation expense in 2022 = (2/5) x $93,600 = $37,440

Book value in 2022 =  $93,600 - $37,440 = $56,160

Loss = $56,160 - $54,000.= $2,160

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.

A young couple is planning for the education of their two children. They plan to invest the same amount of money at the end of each of the next 16 years. The first contribution will be made at the end of the year and the final contribution will be made at the end of the year the older child enters college. The money will be invested in securities that are certain to earn a return of 8% each year. The older child will begin college in 16 years and the second child will begin college in 18 years. The parents anticipate college costs of $25,000 a year (per child). These costs must be paid at the end of each year. If each child takes four years to complete their college degrees, then how much money must the couple save each year

Answers

Answer:

The couple must save $ 6,598 each year

Explanation:

Calculating the payment amount:

Cost per year = $25,000 per each child

Cost for 4 years = $25,000 × 4 = $100,000

For the oldest child, the college will begin in 16 years and the second child the college will begin in 18 years.

Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the oldest child.

Using Microsoft Excel PMT function  

Rate = 8%

N = 16

PV = 0

FV = -100000

= $3,298

Therefore, they must deposit $3,298 each year for their oldest child.

Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the second child:

Using Microsoft Excel PMT function  

Rate = 8%

N = 18

PV = 0

FV = -100000

= $2,670

Therefore, they must deposit $2,670 each year for their second child.

Total sum to be saved per year = $3,298 + $2,670 = $6,598

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.

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.

Answers

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.

The costs of air and water pollution

The variety of goods available to consumers

It increases investment spending by businesses

Decreasing net export

No change

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the sum of the goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.

Gross domestic product calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending + Investment spending + net export + government spending

Items not included in the calculation of GDP:

1. Intermediate goods

2. Externalities e.g. pollution

3. Measures of welfare available to individuals

4. Transactions not reported to the government.

Funds spent by city governments to renovate their buildings are included in GDP as part of investment spending.

Purchase of automative parts would be included in GDP as part of investment spending. So investment spending would rise. Also, it would be recorded as an import and import is a negative function of GDP and thus net export would decrease . As a result, the increase in investment spending would be offset by the decrease in net export and there would be no change in GDP

Sparky Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 34,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 119,000. Units completed and transferred out: 153,000. Ending Inventory: 34,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 35% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $52,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $57,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $349,625. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $608,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.

Answers

Answer:

The cost per equivalent unit of materials is $2.28

Explanation:

The Concept of Equivalent units measures the number of units complete to the extent of the input elements added during production.

The FIFO method in Process costing Accounts for Costs only incurred during the Manufacturing Period. Also, The Opening Work In Process is Assumed to be completed first.

The First Step is to Calculate the Total Equivalent Units of Production for Raw Materials :

To finish Opening Work In Process (34,000 × 0%)         =        0

Started and Completed ((153,000 - 34,000) × 100% )     =  119,000

Closing Work In Process (34,500 × 100%)                       =   34,500

Total Equivalent Units of Production                               =   153,500

The Next and Final Step is to calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.

Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost During the Current Period / Total Equivalent Units of Production

                                           = $349,625 / 153,500

                                           = $2.2776872

                                           = $2.28 (2 decimal places)

Conclusion :

The cost per equivalent unit of materials is $2.28

a. marginal thinking.
b. trade-offs.
c. opportunity costs.
d. incentives.

Answers

Answer: C

You're seeing an opportunity in savings the cost is $40 + $10 for shipping = $50 versus $45 with free shipping. You get an extra item for less and it includes free shipping. So its a deal to actually buy the extra item.

Answer:

c. opportunity costs.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the cost that a person face for choosing an alternative and loosing benefit from other options. The benefit foregone for choosing an alternative is opportunity cost.

in this question there is an opportunity cost of $5 if it order the stock because it involves the options of $45 or $50 ($40+$10).

The topic of email is written in _________________.

a) CC Box
b) BCC Box
c) Subject Box
d) None of these

Answers

Answer:

the subject box is where you write your topic of email

Answer:

C. Subject box

Explanation:

The CC box is the carbon copy box. This is where you put other people's emails. They will receive a copy of the email, and they will be able to see who else received the copy.

The BCC box is the blind carbon copy box. This is also where you can put other people's emails. They will receive a copy, but they can't see the others who also got the copy, hence the name blind carbon copy.

The subject box is where you write the subject or topic of the email. This tells the recipients what the email is about, before they begin reading it.

Therefore, the best choice is C: subject box.

(Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)

Answers

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

J-Chron's board of directors periodically meets with the CFO of the company. The CFO reports on the financial status of a company project. The board asks whether the project is compliant with legally-required accounting principles, but asks no other questions about the project, such as how the project supports the company's mission and strategy. Which of the following is true? 1. The board is meeting legal requirements but not its duty of care to shareholders. 2. The board is fully meeting its duty of care to shareholders. 3. The board is not legally required to meet any duty of care requirements. 4. The board is not meeting its duty of care to shareholders.

Answers

Answer:

1. The board is meeting legal requirements but not its duty of care to shareholders.

Explanation:

During a Board of Directors meeting with CFO all conversations will be about strengthening the company and the organization's shareholders. Shareholders are also considered the entity's owners, so it is very important to comply with all the legal provisions in addition to increasing shareholders.

In this given situation, the board meets with CFO and asks in compliance with accounting standards, but asks little more about how the project aims to achieve the company's mission and strategy. Mission and plan describe the company's vision alongside the company's owners(shareholders) vision and benefits.

hence, the correct option is 1.

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

Answers

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

A firm has fixed assets of $28,000, long-term debt of $12,000, current liabilities of $4,000, current assets of $5,000 and equity of $17,000. What is the total of the assets side of the balance sheet of the firm

Answers

Answer:

$33,000

Explanation:

assets = liabilities + stockholders' equity

assets include current assets + non current or fixed assets = $5,000 + $28,000 = $33,000

liabilities and stockholders' equity include current liabilities + long term liabilities + equity = $4,000 + $12,000 + $17,000 = $33,000

both sides of the accounting equation must always be equal, that is meant by balance.

Whats the answer to this question? The text states, "Over sufficiently long time periods, net income equals cash inflows minus cash outflows, other than cash flows with owners." Demonstrate the accuracy of this statement in the following scenario: Two friends contributed $50,000 each to form a new business. The owners used the amounts contributed to purchase a machine for $100,000 cash. They estimated that the useful life of the machine was five years and the salvage value was $20,000. They rented out the machine to a customer for an annual rental of $25,000 a year for five years. Annual cash operating costs for insurance, taxes, and other items totaled $6,000 annually. At the end of the fifth year, the owners sold the equipment for $22,000, instead of the $20,000 salvage value initially estimated. (Hint: Compute the total net income and the total cash flows other than cash flows with owners for the five-year period as a whole.)
