Lolita, a Mexican business woman, came to Redmond Washington to negotiate a business deal with Microsoft. Lolita, assuming business was formal, dressed in a formal suit, nylons, and high heels. She met with the Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Microsoft, Kevin Johnson, and greeted him with, "Good morning Vice President Johnson." Kevin was dressed in jeans and sneakers and addressed Lolita with, "Hello Lolita, nice to finally meet you in person." Lolita was offended by this greeting. This example illustrates which assumption about intercultural communication?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b) all of these are true.

Explanation:

The scenario described in the question illustrates differences in communication rules that suffer from different cultural influences, this is what we perceive when Mexican Lolita may have been surprised that the American Kevin Johnson communicated with her in a more informal way at a formal work meeting. , and therefore felt offended, as he took into account the type of cultural communication in his country of origin, disregarding the intercultural differences in communication that occur in different countries.

So the ideal is that in a case like the one described in the question, where there are negotiations for business deal with international companies, employees are prepared to relate professionally with different types of people, observing the type of communication context, understanding that there are differences intercultural experiences that imply in the way people relate to each other even in the work environment, and above all, maintain ethics and respect for each and every culture different from yours.

You are an international shrimp trader. A food producer in the Czech Republic offers to pay you 2.3 million Czech koruna today in exchange for a​ year's supply of frozen shrimp. Your Thai supplier will provide you with the same supply for 2.8 million Thai baht today. If the current competitive market exchange rates are 25.49 koruna per dollar and 39.31 baht per​ dollar, what is the value of this​ deal?

Answers

Answer:

$19,002.77

Explanation:

The computation of the value of deal is shown below:

The value of the deal = Sales revenue - purchase cost

where,

Sales revenue is

= 2,300,000 ÷ 25.49 koruna per dollar

= $90,231.46

And, the purchase cost is

= 2,800,000 ÷ 39.31 baht per​ dollar

= $71,228.69

So, the value of the deal is

= $90,231.46 - $71,228.69

= $19,002.77

hence, the value of the deal is $19,002.77

Answers

Answer:

Callie's Gross Profit is $562000

Explanation:

Gross profit is the profit earned by a business after deducting the costs associated with producing or selling its goods (for manufacturing and trading businesses) or the costs associated with providing the services (for service businesses) from the net revenue.

It is the profit from the trading section of the business before deducting the operating and financing expenses of the business and before adding any other income.

The gross profit is simply calculated as follows,

Gross Profit = Net Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold

Callie's gross profit = 940000 - 378000

Callie's Gross Profit = 562000

How much of this gain is treated as capital gain, and how much is ordinary

Answers

Answer:

$4,000 is treated as a capital gain and then reduced by the un-offset net losses in 2016 ($300) and 2017 ($100) to arrive at net capital gain of $3,600 ($4,000 - 300 - 100).   $0 of the amount is treated as an ordinary income.

Explanation:

Section 1231 gain arises when an asset (real property or depreciable business property) is sold for more than its current tax basis.  The gain is regarded as a capital gain and taxed at the lower capital gain rates and not as ordinary income.

Section 1231 property are assets used in trade or business and held by the Taxpayer for more than one year. A gain on the sale of Section 1231 business property is treated as a long-term capital gain.

Assume that Amazon.com has a stock-option plan for top management. Each stock option represents the right to purchase a share of Amazon $1 par value common stock in the future at a price equal to the fair value of the stock at the date of the grant. Amazon has 5,600 stock options outstanding, which were granted at the beginning of 2017. The following data relate to the option grant.
Exercise price for options $38
Market price at grant date (January 1, 2017) $38
Fair value of options at grant date (January 1, 2017) $6
Service period 5 years

C. Now assume that the market price of Amazon stock on the grant date was $46 per share. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017.

Answers

Answer:

See the journal entries and explanations below:

Explanation:

A. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the stock-option plan.

We first calculate the Compensation Expense as follows:

Compensation Expense = (Number stock options outstanding * Fair value of options at grant date) / Service period = (5,600 * $6) / 5 = $6,720.

Note: There is no journal entry for January 1, 2017.

The journal entry for December 31, 2017 is as follows:

Date                  Details                                   Dr ($)           Cr ($)          

31 Dec. 2017    Compensation Expense        6,720

                         Paid-in Capital - Stock Options                6,720

                         To record compensation expenses for 2017.              

B. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017.

We first calculate the following:

Unearned Compensation at January 1, 2017 = Number of option * Exercise price = 700 * $38 = $26,600

Common stock at January 1, 2017 = Stock par value * Number of option = $1 * 700 = $700

Compensation Expense at December 31, 2017 = January 1, 2017 Unearned Compensation / Service period = $26,600 / 5 = $5,320

The journal entries will be as follows:

Date               Details                                     Dr ($)              Cr ($)        

31 Jan. '17    Unearned Compensation       26,600

                    Paid-in Capital in excess of par                   25,900

                   To record unearned compensation on January 2017.    

01 Dec. '17   Compensation Expense            5,320

                    Unearned Compensation                                5,320

                   To record compensation expenses for 2017.                  

C. Now assume that the market price of Amazon stock on the grant date was $46 per share. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017.

We first calculate the following:

Unearned Compensation at January 1, 2017 = Number of option * Exercise price = 700 * $46 = $32,200

Common stock at January 1, 2017 = Stock par value * Number of option = $1 * 700 = $700

Compensation Expense at December 31, 2017 = January 1, 2017 Unearned Compensation / Service period = $32,200 / 5 = $6,440

The journal entries will be as follows:

Date               Details                                     Dr ($)              Cr ($)

Data concerning the most recent year appear below: Sales $ 3,000,000 Net operating income $ 150,000 Average operating assets $ 750,000 The following questions are to be considered independently. Garrison 16e Rechecks 2019-01-10 Required: 1. Compute the company's return on investment (ROI).

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 0.20 or 20%

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The sales = $ 3,000,000

The Net operating income= $150,000

The Average operating assets =$ 750,000

The next step is to calculate the company return rate of investment

Thus,

The return of investment is stated as follows:

the return of investment = Net operating income divided by the average operating assets * 100

= $150,000/$750,000

= 0.2 * 100

= 20 %

Therefore, the company's ROI is 20%

Venus Creations sells window treatments (shades, blinds, and awnings) to both commercial and residential customers. The following information relates to its budgeted operations for the current year.
Commercial Residential
Revenues $300,000 $480,000
Direct materials costs $30,000 $50,000
Direct labor costs 100,000 300,000
Overhead costs 85,000 215,000 150,000 500,000
Operating income (loss) $85,000 $(20,000)
The controller, Peggy Kingman, is concerned about the residential product line. She cannot understand why this line is not more profitable given that the installations of window coverings are less complex for residential customers. In addition, the residential client base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel costs are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers. As a result, she has decided to take a closer look at the overhead costs assigned to the two product lines to determine whether a more accurate product costing model can be developed. Here are the three activity cost pools and related information she developed:
Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Cost Drivers
Scheduling and travel $85,000 Hours of travel
Setup time 90,000 Number of setups
Supervision 60,000 Direct labor cost
Expected Use of Cost Drivers per Product
Commercial Residential

Scheduling and travel 750 500
Setup time 350 250
What should Peggy Kingman do?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The explanation is shown below:-

First we need to find out the activity based overhead rates

Activity              Estimated overhead  Basis   Quantity   Activity based

                              cost                                                      overhead rates

Travel

and Scheduling     $85,000           Hours of  1,250             $68

                                                         travel  (700 + 500)

Set up time          $90,000           Number of   600             $150

                                                       setups  (350 + 250)

Supervision          $60,000          Direct labor  $400,000    15%

                                                        cost ($100,000 + $300,000)

Now we need to find out the overhead cost assigned to commercial which is shown below:-

Activity           Activity based       Actual allocation of         Overhead

                    overhead rates              cost drivers                 assigned

Travel and

Scheduling      $68                           750                               $51,000

Set up time       $150                         350                              $52,500

Supervision     15%                        $100,000                        $15,000

Total                                                                                        $118,500

For computing the overhead assigned we simply multiply the activity based overhead rate with actual allocation of cost drivers.

after this we need to find out the overhead cost assigned to residential which is shown below:-

Activity           Activity based       Actual allocation of         Overhead

                    overhead rates              cost drivers                

Travel and

Scheduling      $68                             500                             $34,000

Set up time     $150                            250                              $37,500

Supervision    15%                             $300,000                     $45,000

Total                                                                                          $116,500

For computing the overhead we simply multiply the activity based overhead rate with actual allocation of cost drivers.

Finally we need to find out the operating income or loss for the commercial and residual which is shown below:-

Particulars                              Commercial           Residential

Sales revenue                        $300,000             $480,000

Less: Direct material cost     $30,000                 $50,000

Less: Direct labor cost          $100,000              $300,000

Less: Overhead costs

assigned                                $118,500               $116,500

Operating income (loss)        $51,500               $15,500

The Peggy Kingman should establish the cost to be assigned based on the product lines for overhead cost as the Peggy Kingman is more focused to the overhead cost which were based on the activity cost drivers. Moreover, it shows a profit earned on residential product line

Sink and Tap Inc. is looking at a 4-year project for making taps. Initial investment in equipment will be $754,000. Each unit will be sold for $230. Annual fixed costs, not including depreciation, will be $333,000. Variable costs per unit will be $102.40. The applicable discount rate is 12 percent, and the tax rate is 21 percent. Assume straight- line depreciation to zero and no market salvage value. Use goal seek (or any other method) to find the present value break-even point in units per year.
Select one:
a. 5340
b. 5930
c. 4848
d. 4680
e. 5200

Answers

Answer:

the present value break-even point in units per yea is 4680 units. the option (d) is correct

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The initial cash flow = $754,000

The project life is  = four years

Thus,

Contribution = sales - variable costs

So,

Sales = quantity * the price

Let the Quantity be Y

$230 Y - $102.40 Y

=127.60 Y

Now,

The operating income = Contribution -fixed costs

which is,

127. 60 Y- (Other depreciation or decrease + decrease)

127. 60 Y- ( $333,000 + ($754,000/4))

= 127. 60 Y- ( $333,000 + $188,500)

Thus,

127. 60 Y - $521, 500

Now,

Tax rate at 21% on operating income is =26.796 Y - 109. 515

The profit after tax = operating income - tax

(127. 60 Y - $521, 500) -(26.796 Y - 109. 515)

= 100.804 Y - 411, 985

Additional depreciation = $188, 500

The operating cash inflow per year = 100.804 Y - 411, 985 +  $188, 500

Thus,

The PVAF for 12 years , 4% = 3.037349

PV of operational cash inflow = 306.18 Y - 678, 802.02

However,

For the break even point: the initaila cash flow = The PV of functioning or operational cash inflow

So,

306.18 Y  - 678, 802.02 =$ 754,400

306.18 Y = 1, 432, 802.02

Y = 4680 Units

Which of the following is an example of peakminusload ​pricing? A. charging less for vacations to Hawaii during December and January B. setting price equal to marginal cost when there is a capacity constraint C. selling excess capacity at lower prices D. charging more for electricity on hot days

Answers

Answer:

D. charging more for electricity on hot days.

Explanation:

This is a strategy that helps service providers in billing their customers when their in traffic on the usage of a particular service. This is charging higher of a certain service when their are a lot of users trying to be benefit or trying to use it at the same time. This can easily be seen in the case of utility usage amongst countries where this forms of billings are performed. That is why in the scenario above, the charging more for electricity on a hot day falls in place as the perfect option of peakminus loading price.

Answer:

D. charging more for electricity on hot days

Explanation:

Peak load pricing is charging more for a good or service when the demand for the good is higher.

During the hot weather, people would want to use fans and air conditioners, thus, the demand for electricity would be higher as people would need electricity to power these items. So increasing the price in the hurt weather is an example of peak load pricing.

Cooperton Mining just announced it will cut its dividend from $4.17 to $2.56 per share and use the extra funds to expand. Prior to the​ announcement, Cooperton's dividends were expected to grow at a 3.3 % ​rate, and its share price was $50.47. With the planned expansion, Cooperton's dividends are expected to grow at a 46% rate. What share price would you expect after the announcement? (Assume that the new expansion does not change Cooperton's risk). Is the expansion a good investment?

Answers

Answer: New share price= Price = $35.38. No, it's not a good investment

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the cost of equity.

Price = Dividend/r - g

Dividend = $4.17 × (1 + 3.3%)

= $4.17 × (1 + 0.033)

= $4.17 × 1.033

= $4.30761

Price = Dividend/r - g

50.47 = 4.30761/r - 0.033

r - 0.033 = 4.30761/50.47

r - 0.033 = 0.08535

r = 0.08535 + 0.033

r = 0.11835

Now, we have to calculate the new price with dividend of $2.56 and g= 4.6%.

Price = Dividend/r - g

Price = 2.56/0.11835 - 0.046

Price = 2.56/0.07235

Price = $35.38

The expansion isn't a good investment because the stock price is s reduced from $50.47 to $35.38

On November 4, 2016, Blue Company acquired an asset (27.5-year residential real property) for $200,000 for use in its business. In 2016 and 2017, respectively, Blue took $642 and $5,128 of cost recovery. These amounts were incorrect; Blue applied the wrong percentages (i.e., those for 39-year rather than 27.5-year assets). Blue should have taken $910 and $7,272 cost recovery in 2016 and 2017, respectively. On January 1, 2018, the asset was sold for $180,000. Enter the values for each item below. If required, round all computations to the nearest dollar.a. The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2017 is $.b. The cost recovery deduction for 2018 is $.c.

Answers

Answer:

a. $191,818

b. $303

c. The loss on the ale of the asset in 2018 is $11,515.

Explanation:

a. The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2017 is $

Asset cost = $200,000

Greater of allowed and allowable cost recover in 2016 = $910

Greater of allowed and allowable cost recover in 2017 = $7,272

Basis at the end of 2017 = Asset cost - Greater of allowed and allowable cost recover in 2016 - Greater of allowed and allowable cost recover in 2016 = $200,000  - $910 - $7,272 = $191,818

b. The cost recovery deduction for 2018 is $.

Cost recovery for 2018 = $200,000 * (0.5/12) * 3.636% = $303

c. The__________ on the sale of the asset in 2018 is $

Basis on date of sale = Basis at the end of 2017 - Cost recovery for 2018 = $191,515

Profit (Loss) on sale of asset = Sales proceed - Basis on date of sale = $180,000 − $191,515 = ($11,515) .

Therefore, the loss on the ale of the asset in 2018 is $11,515.

b. 24%
c. 25%
d. 225
e. 23%

Answers

Answer:

a. 21%

Explanation:

Felix and Freddie

Tax paid for first will be :

$43,850 ×15%

=$6,577.5

Taxable income $124,050

($230,000-$105,950)

Taxable payable $38,455.5

($124,050*31%)

Remaining tax payable $13,041

($58,074-$6,577.5-$38,455.5)

÷

Remaining taxable income $62,100

($105,950-$43,850)

Tax rate between $43,850 and 105,950 will be:

$13,041÷$62,100

=0.21×100

=21%

A mutual fund had NAV per share of $19.00 on January 1, 2016. On December 31 of the same year, the fund's NAV was $19.14. Income distributions were $0.57, and the fund had capital gain distributions of $1.12. Without considering taxes and transactions costs, what rate of return did an investor receive on the fund last year

Answers

Answer:

9.63%

Explanation:

Calculation of Mutual Fund rate of return that the investor receive on the fund last year

Using this formula

Rate=(Fund's NAV -NAV per share +Income distributions+ Capital gain distributions )

Let plug in the formula

Where:

Fund's NAV =$19.14

NAV per share=$19.00

Income distributions=.57

Capital gain distributions =1.12

Hence

Rate =($19.14 - 19.00 + .57 + 1.12) / $19.00

=1.83/$19.00

=0.0963×100

Rate = 9.63%

Therefore without considering taxes and transactions costs, the rate of return that the investor receive on the fund last year will be 9.63%

Answers

Answer: O the liability Unearned Revenue on its balance sheet.

Explanation:

Unearned Revenue is a liability that goes into the balance sheet to record the cash received for goods and/or services that the company have not delivered yet.

This is so that the company is not in violation of the Accrual Accounting concept known as the Revenue Recognition Principle that states that revenue should be recognised only in the period that they have been earned.

Microsoft in this scenario will record this cash as an Unearned Revenue and then consider it revenue when it has delivered the said goods and services.

Answers

Answer:

December 31 2014, cash = $486,000

Explanation:

To solve this, we will classify the particulars as either income or expenditure,and find the difference. This is shown below:

Particulars                          income($)                 expenditure($)

operating activities            531,000                     -

investing activities             -                                  963,000

financing activities             585,000                    -

January 1 cash balance     333,000                     -

Total                                   1,449,000                  963,000

∴ net cash available on December 31 2014 = Total income - expenditure

= 1,449,000 - 963,000 = $486,000

What is the margin of safety in dollars

Answers

Answer:

$5,000

Explanation:

Sales $20,000

Variable expenses $12,000

Contribution margin $8,000

Fixed expenses $6,000

Net operating income $2,000

margin of safety in $ = current sales level - break even point

margin of safety in % = (current sales level - break even point) / current sales level

first we need to calculate the contribution margin per unit = $20 - $12 = $8 per unit

break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin = $6,000 / $8 = 750 units

sales level at break even point = 750 x $20 = $15,000

margin of safety in $ = $20,000 - $15,000 = $5,000

margin of safety = ($20,000 - $15,000) / $20,000 = $5,000 / $20,000 = 25%

When a worker calls in sick, a temporary replacement is hired to operate his machine. During the week in which the replacement is working, scrap increases significantly, to the point that almost all points plotted on the control chart used to monitor the machine, fall well above the central tendency. Management is frustrated because it cannot understand why the process has deteriorated so rapidly. However, when the original worker returns, scrap decreases to the original level. Management is satisfied it has fixed the problem somehow once and for all although it doesn’t have any idea how the high rate of scrap occurred. According to Deming, this is an example of management: I incorrectly identifying common cause variation present as special cause variation. II under controlling the process by not reacting to special cause variation occurring. III correctly identifying special cause variation. IV correctly identifying common cause.

Answers

Answer:

II. under controlling the process by not reacting to special cause variation occurring.

Explanation:

Note the fact that Edwards Deming see such a scenario as one that is not previously observed, but that could be reacted to.

The special cause variation in this scenario refers to the increase in scrap value significantly when a worker who falls sick was replaced by another to operate his machine. The negligence of Management is evident from the fact even after the original worker returns, and the scrap decreases to the original level, the Management feels satisfied it has fixed the problem without any idea how the high rate of scrap occurred.

Thomas has adjusted gross income for 2019 of $30,000. What is the amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction?

Answers

Answer:

The amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction is $14,000

In order to calculate the amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction we would have to calculate the following:

amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction =Cash contribution + [30% of adjusted gross income or actual property ,whichever is lower]

amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction = $5,000+ [(30%* $30,000) or $20,000 ,whichever is lower]

amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction =$5,000 [ $9,000 or $20,000]

amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction= $5,000 + $9,000

Suppose that the standard deviation of returns for a single stock A is σA = 30%, and the standard deviation of the market return is σM = 10%. If the correlation between stock A and the market is rhoAM = 0.3, then the stock’s beta is . Is it reasonable to expect that the volatility of the market portfolio’s future expected returns will be greater than the volatility of stock A’s returns? Yes No

Answers

Answer:

The stock’s beta is 0.90

Is not reasonable to expect that the volatility of the market portfolio’s future expected returns will be greater than the volatility of stock A’s returns

Explanation:

In order to calculate the stock’s beta we would have to calculate the following formula:

Beta of stock = (standard deviation of stock A x correlation between stock A and market) / standard deviation of market

beta = (30% x 0.3) / 10% = 0.90

The market is assumed to have a beta of 0.90 and beta of a stock is the volatility of the stock in relation to the market. Since, stock A has beta equal to the market, its volatility will be correlated with the market. Therefore is not reasonable to expect that the volatility of the market portfolio’s future expected returns will be greater than the volatility of stock A’s returns

What strategy option for entering a foreign market might you use if you were a start-up or smaller firm? 4. Why is the Think Global- Act Local strategy appear to be the best for many companies wishing to go global?

Answers

Answer:

1a. For manufacturing company– Buying a local manufacturing company

b. For a financial services company– Partnership

c. A company like Coke or Pepsi– Greenfield Investments

Explanation:

1a. Buying a local company saves valuable resources for the foreign manufacturing, and it allows for quick market knowledge since this company has already been in operations for a long time.

b. A partnership would be best for a financial services company, this would involve a smooth transition into new markets without having to spend much on physical structures as the domestic company is already having necessary infrastructures in place.

c. Coke and Pepsi would preferably choose to use the Greenfield investment strategy by building a new plant from the ground up because of its established quality standards as well as trade mark and intellectual property protection.

2. A technology-centric firm would benefit most by buying a Company because of the already available market share as well as benefiting from reduced government regulations.

3. If one is operating a start-up or smaller firm of course cost would be a major consideration, therefore selling out License to foreign companies may be effective. This would transfer the rights to use a product or service in a different market geography.

4. It provides a good foresight into the requirements needed to enter foreign markets.
