Answer:
(A) For incandescent bulb, your break even cost is $32.67
(B) With LED bulb, your break even cost is $3.8115
Conclusion: It makes financial sense to use LED bulbs.
Explanation:
We start by checking the cost of your electricity bill when you use incandescent bulb and when you use LED bulb.
Since your answers are to be in kilowatt hour, we transform the watt measurement of the bulbs into kilowatt thus:
60watt incandescent bulb = 0.06kw
7watt led bulb = 0.007kw
National average cost of electricity per kilowatt hour is $1.21
Cost per kWh using incandescent bulb is 1.21 × 0.06 = $0.0726
Cost per kWh using led bulb is 1.21 × 0.007 = $0.00847
(A) WITH INCANDESCENT
0.06kw × 500hrs/year = 30kwhrs/year
Cost of electricity bill = 1.21 × 30 =$36.3
Your 10% return = $3.63
Break even cost per year, in kWh is = 36.3 - 3.63 = $32.67
(B) WITH LED
0.007kw × 500hrs/year = 3.5kwhrs/year
Cost of electricity bill = 1.21 × 3.5 = $4.235
Your 10% return = $0.4235
Break even cost per year in kWh is = 4.235 - 0.4235
(C) The incandescent bulb costs $0.45 but draws you a bill of $32.67 a year WHILE the led bulb costs $2.25 but draws you a bill of $3.8115
We conclude hence, that light-emitting diode bulbs make financial sense. Overlook the cost of purchasing the bulb because it uses less kilowatts per hour and draws you a very low bill, compared to the incandescent bulb!

2. It has been mentioned that Starbucks encourages its customers to use its mobile app. What type of information might the company gather from the app to help it better plan operations
Answer:
There are several things and strategies that the company can do from gathering different types of information in the app. Some examples are explained below.
Explanation:
To begin with, the company can extract personal information about the clients like the age and area of residence and those factors can help the organization's operations plan in many ways, like for example in knowing better which is the area where the most of the clients live or which is the average age of all the clients so in that case they will know which is their target audience and how to create marketing messages to stimulate them to go to the store or to buy more products, etc.
Another example could be the likes of the customers, by knowing which is the product that they order the most then the company can implement an strategy to try to sale the other products and so on with other variables.
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.
Assuming that Tim is 75 years old at the end of 2019 and his marginal tax rate is 32 percent, what amount of his distribution will he have remaining after taxes if he receives only a distribution of $50,000 for 2019?
Answer:
$15,300
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Suppose that Tim is 75 years old at the end of 2018
The marginal tax rate here is = 32%
The distribution = $50,000
Now,
What amount of distribution he get after taxes
At 75 years of age that is the age of the participant
Distribution period = 22.9
The Applicable percentage = 4.37%; this is gotten from the table attached below
Thus,
He implies that 2,000,000 * 4.37 %
=$87,400
The less amount received = $50,000
The balance is = $87,400 = $50,000
= $37,400
Tim needs to pay tax at 32%
= 50,000 * 32%
=$16,000
The pay penalty become s =37,400 * 50% = $18,700
The total amount for tax to be paid and the penalty is = $16000 + $18700= $34,700
The amount received by Tim after tax is = $50,000 - $34700 =$15,300
The amount Tim will receive after tax is $15,300

A stock sells for $50. The next dividend will be $5 per share. If the rate of return earned on reinvested funds is a constant 15% and the company reinvests a constant 20% of earnings in the firm, what must be the discount rate
Answer:
The answer is 13%
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
A stock sells for =$50
The next dividend is = $5 per share
The rate of return = 15%
Company reinvests a constant of =20%
What is the rate of discount = ?
Now
The first step is to calculate the rate of growth which is shown below:
g = equity return * retention rate
g = 15% * 0.2 = 3%
Thus,
The Gordon growth model is stated below:
Stock price = dividend in following year/ (discount - g)
So,
50 = 5/ (discount - g)
The discount - g = 5/50
Discount - g = 10%
The discount = 10 + 3 = 13%
Therefore the discount rate =13%
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
The WorldLight Company produces two light fixtures (products 1 and 2) that require both metal frame parts and electrical components. Management wants to determine how many units of each product to produce so as to maximize profit. For each unit of product 1, 1 unitof frame parts and 2 units of electrical components are required. For each unit of product 2, 3 units of frame parts and 2 units of electrical components are required. The company has 200 units of frame parts and 300 units of electrical components. Each unit of product 1 gives a profit of $2, and each unit of product 2, up to 70 units, gives a profit of $4. Any excess over 60 units of product 2 brings no profit, so such an excess has been ruled out. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem. Use the graphical method to solve this model. What is the resulting total profit?
Answer:
Explanation:
a) x1 = number of unit product 1 to produce , and
x2 number of unit product 2 to produce
A linear program that will maximize world light profit is the following
maximize [tex]x_1+2x_2[/tex] subject to [tex]x_1+3x_2\leq 200[/tex]
[tex]2x_1+2x_2\leq 300\\\\x_2\leq 60\\\\x_1\geq 0\\\\x_2\geq 0[/tex]
Unit 1 is used both in products in 1 : 3 ratio which can be a maximum of 200 unit 2 is used in 2 : 2 ratio which can be maximum of 300
So, this can be written as the inequations
Profit functio is p = 0ne dollar on product A and two dollar on product B
= x + 2y
Now , we find a feasible area whose extremeties will give the maximum profit for, the graph is ( see attached file )
So on the graph, we can get the other extremeties of the shaded regional so which will not give maximum profit ,
Thus , the maximum possible profit is
p = ($1 * 125) + ($2 * 25)
= $175
Total profit according to graph function is $175.
Profit function based problem:Given that;
Number of unit product 1 to produce = x1
Number of unit product 2 to produce = x2
Computation:
The following is a linear algorithm that will maximize global light profit.
x1 + 2x2 and x1 + 3x2 ≤ 200
2x1 + 2x2 ≤ 300
x2 ≤ 60
x1 ≥ 0
x2 ≥ 0
Unit 1 is used in both products in a 1: 3 ratio with a maximum of 200 units, while Unit 2 is used in a 2: 2 ratio with a maximum of 300 units.
As a result, this may be stated as inequations.
p = one dollar on product A and two dollars on product B = x + 2y is the profit function.
So,
p = ($1 × 125) + ($2 × 25)
P = 125 + 50
Profit = $175

Gomez runs a small pottery firm. He hires one helper at $16,500 per year, pays annual rent of $6,000 for his shop, and spends $22,500 per year on materials. He has $40,000 of his own funds invested in equipment (pottery wheels, kilns, and so forth) that could earn him $5,000 per year if alternatively invested. He has been offered $19,500 per year to work as a potter for a competitor. He estimates he could use his talents to earn an additional $5,500 per year in consulting fees if he were working full time as a potter. Total annual revenue from pottery sales is $89,000.Calculate the accounting profit and the economic profit for Gomez's pottery firm.
Accounting profit = ?
Economic profit = ?
Answer:
$44,000
$14,000
Explanation:
Accounting profit is total revenue less total explicit cost.
Accounting profit = Revenue - Explicit cost
Total explicit cost = $16,500 + $6,000 + $22,500 = $45,000
Total revenue = $89,000
Accounting profit = $89,000 - $45,000 = $44,000
Economic profit is accounting profit less implicit cost or opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
Opportunity cost = $5,500 + $19,500 + $5,000 = $30,000
Economic profit = $44,000 - $30,000 = $14,000

A person has a poor credit score due mainly to the amount of debt on credit card and instalment loans. How could the person improve his score.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
The credit score is a number used by lenders to help them decide the likelihood of an individual to repay on time if the person is granted a credit card or a loan. The higher the scores, the likelihood that the person qualifies for credit cards and loans.
A person that has a poor credit score due to the amount of debt on credit card and instalment loans can improve his or her score by paying off the debt. When an individual pays of his or her debt, the person will have an improved credit score which can be used to apply for further loans.
Furthermore, such individual can also keep his or her balances low on the credit cards. A credit card with high debts doesn't represent the individual well when applying for a loan which will lead to a negative credit score.

The University of Michigan football stadium, built in 1927, is the largest college stadium in America, with a seating capacity of 110,500 fans. Assume the stadium sells out all six home games before the season begins, and the athletic department collects $86.19 million in ticket sales. Required: 1. What is the average price per season ticket and average price per individual game ticket sold
Answer:
The average price per season ticket is $780
The average price per individual game ticket is $130
Explanation:
The season involves 6 home games. Thus, a season ticket entitles you to attend six home games. The capacity of the stadium is 110500 fans per game. Thus, for a season of 6 games, the number of total fans to attend will be,
Season total attendance = 6 *110500 = 663000 fans
Average ticket price per game will be = 86,190,000 / 663,000
Average ticket price per game will be = $130
As the season involves 6 games and the average ticket price per game is $130, the average price per season ticket will be,
Average price per season ticket = 130 * 6 = $780

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.

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.

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
Minor Company installs a machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $135,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 5 years, or 300,000 units of product, with a $15,000 salvage value. During its first year, the machine produces 64,500 units of product. Determine the machines' first year depreciation under the units-of-production method.
Answer:
$25,800
Explanation:
The units-of-production deprecation method depreciates an asset based on the total units produced each year.
Unit of production depreciation expense = (units produced / total expected units of production) × (cost of asset - salvage value)
(64,500 / 300,000) x ($135,000 - $15,000)
0.215 x $120,000 = $25,800

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.

Standard policy is to send the direct cost of Labor to the Work in Progress Account.
The Total direct cost of labor are all of the above except the Indirect cost.
= 3,460 + 2,870 + 5,260 + 5,950 + 3,630 + 2,380 + 16,120
= $39,650

Ferdinand’s employer will match 50% of his $250 monthly contributions to his 401(k). This means that Ferdinand’s employer will put 50% of $250 = $125 into Ferdinand’s 401(k) account each month in addition to Ferdinand’s $250. What a swell benefit
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the given question is shown below:-
Total Contributions = Monthly contribution + Amount invested in Ferdinand’s 401(k)
= $250 + $125
= $375
1. Future Value = PMT [((1 + r)n - 1) ÷ r
Future value = 375 × ((1 + 0.03 ÷ 12) × 12 × 40 - 1) ÷ (0.03 ÷ 12)
= $347,272
2. Ferdinand deposit = Given Amount × Total number of months in a year × Number of years
= $250 × 12 Months × 40 Years
= $120,000
3. The Amount put in by the employer = 50% of $250 ×Total number of months in a year × Number of years
= $125 × 12 Months × 40 Years
= $60,000
4. Interest = Future value - Ferdinand deposit - The Amount put in by the employer
= $347,272 - $120,000 - $60,000
= $167,272
We simply applied the above formulas
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.
Elegant Limited sells restored classic cars. Most of its customers are private buyers who buy cars for themselves. However, some of them are investors who buy multiple cars and hold them for resale. All sales of Elegant Limited are for cash. Depict the association and cardinality for the sales of cars at Elegant Limited based on REA model.
Answer:
Elegant Limited
Depiction of the Association and Cardinality for the Sales of Cars based on the REA Model:
1. Association: This is about the relationships that exist among the economic elements involved in the REA model. They are Economic Resources, Economic Events, and Economic Agents. These elements interact during each business transaction in such interconnected processes that business transactions cannot be complete without any element.
For example, the economic resources during the sale of a car at Elegant Limited are 1) a car and 2) money. These are exchanged between Elegant Limited and the customer and vice versa. In the same light, an economic event takes place during the exchange of either a car or money. While a car is a physical resource (asset), money is a financial resource (asset). For each of these two events, the economic agents who must interact are the workers at Elegant Limited and the customer whether private buyers or investors.
2. Cardinality: This refers to the elements that are involved in the REA model. They are three as already described. They are Economic Resources, Economic Events, and Economic Agents. No business transaction is complete where any element is not present. So, these elements are cardinal in the relationship.
Explanation:
The REA model is an accounting system re-engineering model originally proposed by William E. McCarthy as a generalized accounting model. It contains the concepts of resources, events and agents (McCarthy 1982).
The model views accounting data collection as a system to collect data about the resources, events, and agents within business processes, thereby suggesting that the basic data collected should be about the resources, events, and agents involved in an exchange.
