Answer: Choice of Law Clause
Explanation:
The Choice of Law Clause allows parties in a contract to pick a territory's laws as the laws that the contract between them will be applicable to.
This way uncertainty can be avoided when any of the parties seeks legal redress for any perceived breach of contract.
It is worthy of note that parties do not even need to be from the Territory whose laws have been chosen and this is why some parties look for Territories who have laws that will be favourable to them. This is why most big Corporations pick Delaware law because their laws are perceived to be pro big business.
Tanesha sells homemade candles over the Internet. Her annual revenue is $64,000 per year, the explicit costs of her business are $17,000, and the opportunity costs of her business are $22,000. What is her accounting profit
Answer:
The answer is $47,000
Explanation:
Accounting profit profit doesn't consider opportunity cost. So the value for opportunity cost will be left out. It is Economic profit that considers opportunity cost.
Accounting profit = revenue - cost(explicit cost which is all cost involved in directly running the business e.g cost of sales, electricity cost, wage etc.)
Revenue = $64,000
Explicit cost = $17,000
Therefore, Accounting profit is
$64,000 - $17,000
=$47,000

Assume Time Warner shares have a market capitalization of $40 billion. The company is expected to pay a dividend of $0.25 per share and each share trades for $40. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be 7% per year. Also, Time Warner has $20 billion of debt that trades with a yield to maturity of 9%. If the firm's tax rate is 40%, what is the WACC
Answer:
6.88%
Explanation:
cost of equity = (next period dividend / by price) + growth rate in dividends.
cost of debt = yield to maturity x (1 - tax rate)
WACC = weight of debt x cost of debt + weight of equity x cost of equity.
cost of equity = ($0.25 / $40) + 0.07
= 0.07625
cost of debt = 0.09 x (1 - 0.4)
=0.054
WACC = ($40Billion x 0.07625) / 60billion + ($20 billion x 0.054) / $60billion
= 0.05083 + 0.018
= 0.0688 or 6.88%
James would like to deposit enough money in a savings account to have $8,000 at the end of year 3. Assuming the investment will earn 5% compounded annually, what amount should James deposit in the savings account today
Answer:
$6910.70
Explanation:
At the end of each year, the account balance will be 1.05 times the value at the beginning of the year. Thus, at the end of year 3, the value is 1.05^3 times the original value.
$8000 = (deposit)×1.05^3
deposit = $8000/1.05^3 ≈ $6910.70
James should deposit $6910.70 today.

Big data analytics programs (analyzing massive data sets to make decisions) use gigantic computing power to quantify trends that would be beyond the grasp of human observers. As this use of this quantitative analysis increases, do you think it may decrease the "humanity of production" in organizations? Why?
Answer:
It will not decrease the humanity of production.
Explanation:
Big data analytics is useful for unraveling hidden patterns and correlations. Big data analytics is sometimes linked to be a direct descendant of Frederick Winslow Taylor’s scientific management and recently it is the most recent iteration of the quantitative approach to management.
Big data is used in management in activities that includes humans or individuals therefore it will not reduce the humanity of production in organizations.
Geoffrey, Suzanne, Jay, and Emma are college roommates. They're trying to decide where the four of them should go for spring break: Las Vegas or Vail. If they order the tickets by 10:00 PM on February 1, the cost will be just $500 per person. If they miss that deadline, the cost rises to $1,200 per person.
The following table shows the benefit (in dollar terms) that each roommate would get from the two trips.
Roommate Benefit from Las Vegas Benefit from Vail
Geoffrey $600 $1,300
Suzanne $850 $850
Jay $900 $700
Emma $1,100 $650
The roommates tend to put off making decisions. So, when February 1 rolls around and they still haven't made a decision, they schedule a vote for 9:00 PM that night. In case of a tie, they will flip a coin between the two vacation destinations.
The roommates will get the most total benefit if they choose to go to .
Given the individual benefits each roommate receives from the two trips, which trip will each roommate vote for? Fill in the table with each roommate's preferred location, assuming that a given roommate will abstain if he or she has no preference.
Roommate Vote
Emma
Jay
Suzanne
Geoffrey
Under majority rule, the roommates will vote to go to . Therefore, majority rule leads to an economically outcome.
Suppose Emma misses the vote, leaving Geoffrey, Suzanne, and Jay to figure out where they're going to go.
Geoffrey and Jay argue for their preferred destinations, but Suzanne offers to vote with Geoffrey if Geoffrey will vote on her side in an upcoming class election. This is an example of:________.
Answer: Please refer to explanation
Explanation:
1. The roommates will get the most total benefit if they choose to go to ________.
To answer this, you add the total benefit they could all get from going to either Las Vegas or Vail.
Las Vegas
= 600 + 850+ 900 + 1,100
= $3,450
Vail
= 1,300 + 850+ 700 + 650
= $3,500
The room mates in total will get a higher benefit if they choose to go to Vail.
2. Which location will each pick based on their benefits.
Emma gets a higher benefit if they go to Las Vegas so they will pick that.
Jay gets a higher benefit if they go to Las Vegas as well so they will pick that.
Suzanne will abstain as both places give them the same benefit.
Geoffrey gets a higher benefit if they go to Vail so they will pick that.
3. Under majority rule, the roommates will vote to go to ________ .
They will vote to go to Las Vegas because Emma and Jay will vote for it, Suzanne will abstain and Geoffrey will vote for Vail meaning 2 votes out of 3 for Las Vegas.
4. Therefore, majority rule leads to an economically _______ outcome.
Inefficient outcome because in total they will get a smaller benefit going to Las Vegas as opposed to Vail.5. This is an example of:________.
Logrolling
Logrolling is a practice by which people promise to mutually support each other at different times. Simply speaking, one will support the other in exchange for the other supporting the one at some later period in time. This is the deal that Suzanne offer Geoffrey.
A water utility is planning to construct a grease treatment facility so that local haulers will not have to transport grease to a city 550 km away. The facility will cost $400,000 to build and $160,000 per year to operate. Benefits to the haulers and restaurant owners (through reduced costs) are expected to be $250,000 per year. If the facility will have a 10-year life, the B/C ratio at 6% per year is closest to:
Answer:
The B/C ratio at 6% per year is closest to 1.17
Explanation:
In order to calculate the B/C ratio at 6% per year we would have to make first the following calculations:
Present Worth(PW) of annual operating cost (excel formula) =PV(0.06,10,160000,0) = $1,177,613.93
PW of annual benefit (excel formula) =PV(0.06,10,250000,0) = $1,840,021.76
Present cost (at beginning of project) = $400,000
Therefore, to calculate the B/C ratio at 6% we would use the following formula:
B/C ratio at 6%=PW of benefits-PW of disbenefits/Initial cost+PW of operating and maintenance-PW of salvage value
B/C ratio = ($1,840,021.76 - 0)/($400,000 - $1,177,613.93) = 1.17

Sean is a baseball player who earns $890,000 per year playing for team X. If he weren't playing baseball for team X, he would be playing baseball for team Y and earning $660,000 per year. If he weren't playing baseball at all, he would be working as an accountant earning $90,000 per year. What is his economic rent as a baseball player?
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
Economic rent is a payment to a factor of production that is in excess of the costs which are needed to bring the factor into production. It is the payment in excess of the opportunity cost.
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
Sean is a baseball player who earns $890,000 per year playing for team X. If he weren't playing baseball for team X, he would be playing baseball for team Y and earning $660,000 per year. His economic rent in this case will be:
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
= $890,000 - $660,000
= $230,000
If he weren't playing baseball at all, he would be working as an accountant earning $90,000 per year. His economic rent in this case will be:
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
= $890,000 - $90,000
= $800,000
Insurance companies facilitate the transfer of risk from Multiple Choice those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance. insurance policyholders to the government. those who have a high-risk tolerance to those with low risk-tolerance. the insurance companies' owners to the insurance policyholders.
Answer:
Those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance.
Explanation:
In Insurance, risk tolerance refers to the willingness of an individual or organization to take a risk in business transactions in order to get a potentially positive reward.
Simply stated, risk tolerance in insurance is the willingness of an insured individual to increase his or her Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs) or deductibles by the insurer. For instance, the high risk associated with investments such as stocks, high-yield bonds, is often perceived by investors to be worth the higher reward such investment brings.
Insurance companies facilitate the transfer of risk from those who have a low-risk tolerance to those with high risk-tolerance. The transfer of risk in insurance refers to the process whereby an individual or entity pay premiums to an insurer for the purpose of mitigating potential losses or liabilities.
Generally, insurance companies across the globe charge millions of their customers (insured) premiums every year. This gives them the privilege of having a pool of cash which can be used to cover the cost of losses and destruction to the asset of a small fraction or percentage of its customers.
This simply means that, since insurance companies collect premium from all of their customers for losses which may or may not occur, so they can easily use this cash to compensate or indemnify for losses incurred by those having high risk.
Rough Stuff makes 2 products: khaki shorts and khaki pants for men. Each product passes through the cutting machine area, which is the chief constraint during production. Khaki shorts take 15 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of shorts of $16. Khaki pants take 24 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of pants of $32. If it is assumed that Rough Stuff has 4,800 hours available on the cutting machine to service a minimum demand for each product of 3,000 units, how much will profits increase if 100 more hours of machine time can be obtained?
Answer:
$8,000
Explanation:
khaki shorts khaki pants
machine minutes per unit 15 24
contribution margin per unit $16 $32
CM per machine minute $1.067 $1.33
minimum demand 3,000 3,000
machine minutes required 45,000 72,000
total machine minutes available 288,000
total machine minutes remaining 171,000
production 0 7,125
total production 3,000 10,125
total contribution margin $48,000 $324,000
if 100 more machines hours are added, then production time increases by 6,000 minutes which can be used to produce 250 more khaki pants. Contribution margin will increase by 250 x $32 = $8,000
I calculated contribution margin per minute, but you could also calculate contribution margin per hour to determine which product is more profitable. Contribution margin per hour for shorts = $64, and for pants = $80. The answer will not change.
S13-15 (similar to) Young Corporation discovered in 2019 that it had incorrectly recorded in 2018 a cash payment of $ 95 comma 000 for utilities expense. The correct amount of the utilities expense was $ 20 comma 000. Requirements 1. Determine the effect of the error on the accounting equation in 2018. 2. How should this error be reported in the 2019 financial statements?
Answer and Explanation:
1. The effect of the error on the accounting equation in 2018 is shown below:-
Error utilities expenses = Correct utilities expenses in 2018 - Wrongly entered utilities expenses
= $95,000 - $20,000
= $75,000
Here due to an increase in utilities expenses, so the net income will be decreased.
Now, the Decrease in net income, there will be decrease in stockholders equity
2. The error should be reported for the year 2019 financial statements as a prior period adjustment. It is an adjustment to the beginning balance in the retained earning account
And it will be an addition of the $20,000

ANSWER: The data collected is NOT an appropriate representation that can be used to determine how much you should sell your house.
EXPLANATION: A house is evaluated by the contents which were used to build it. For instance a house built with a bricks can not be of the same value with a wood or block house, even though they have the same pattern.
Because the data does not show the values of the contents of the house, which are: walls, pattern, designs, how many stirs, roof, and interior quality, it cannot be used to determine the price you should sell your house.
Also, looking at the data gotten, you can understand that this houses has been sold according to the contents that made up the building, because some old builder were sold more costlier than some new buildings, and some building with a much bigger square feet were sold in a lower price when compared to some buildings with a smaller square feet
A man works for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: splishy splashies, frizzles, and kipples. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, a man knows that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods.
Run-of-the-Mills provides man's marketing firm with the following data: When the price of splishy splashies decreases by 5%, the quantity of frizzles sold increases by 4% and the quantity of kipples sold decreases by 6%. A man's job is to use the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and the other goods to determine which goods to a man marketing firm should advertise together.
Complete the first column of the following table by computing the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and frizzles, and then between splishy splashies and kipples. In the second column, determine if splishy splashies are a complement to or a substitute for each of the goods listed. Finally, complete the final column by indicating should be recommended marketing with splishy splashies.Relative to Splishy Splashies Recommend Marketing with Splishy Splashies
Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand Complement or Substitute
Frizzles _____ _____ _____
Kipples _____ _____ _____
Answer and Explanation:
According to the given situation, when the amount of splishy splashies decrease by 5%, quantity of frizzles increases by 4%.
So, The cross price elasticity of frizzles relative to splishy splashies = Percentage change in quantity demand for frizzles ÷ Percentage change in price for splishy splashies
= 4 ÷ -5
= -0.80
Now,
Cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and kipples = Percentage change in quantity demand for Kipples ÷ Percentage change in price for splishy splashies
= -6% ÷ -5%
= 1.20
b. Since there is negative cross-price elasticity between splishy splashies and frizzles, these products are complementary.
The elasticity of the cross-price between splendid splashies and kipples is positive, these goods being substitutes.
c. Here, I would therefore recommend Raskels marketing, since these two are used together.
The required Table are as shown below:-

Christmas Timber, Inc., produces Christmas trees. The trees are produced through a cutting and pruning process. Machine maintenance and janitorial labors are performed throughout the production process by nonproduction employees. Maintenance and janitorial costs are allocated based on machine hours used and the number of trees in each department, respectively. The company estimates that the cutting and pruning areas typically have about 6 and 54 trees, respectively, in them at 1 time. The company also estimates that the cutting process requires about 9 times as many machine hours as the pruning process. The total costs of each department are as follows:
Maintenance Department $7,800
Janitorial Department 5,000
Cutting Department 54,500
Pruning Department 11,000
Using the direct method of support department cost allocation, determine the total cost of each production department after allocating all support costs to the production departments.
Answer:
Cutting = $62,020
Pruning = $16,280
Explanation:
The direct method does not consider the impact of reciprocal servicing arrangement when allocating the overhead of service centers and only allocates overhead to the production cost centers only.
Allocation of Overhead
Janitorial overhead
Cutting = 6/(6+54)× $5,000 = $500
Pruning =54/(6+54) × $5,000= $4,500
Maintenance overhead
Cutting = 9/(9+1)× $7,800 = $7020
Pruning =1/(9+1) × $7,800= $780
Total cost of production department
Cutting = 54,500 + 500 + 7020= 62,020
Pruning department = 11,000 + 4,500 + 780 = 16,280
Cutting = $62,020
Pruning = $16,280
Suppose that the last four months of sales were 8, 10, 15, and 9 units, respectively. Suppose further that the last four forecasts were 5, 6, 11, and 12 units, respectively. What is the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of this forecasting period?
A. 2
B. -10
C. 5.5
D. 9
E. 10.5
Answer:
-25.5
Explanation:
First, we find the Mean
= 5+6+11+12=34
Absolute mean value= (5-34) + (6-34) + (11-34) + (12-34) = -102/4=-25.5
g In 2010, the MoreForLess Company had revenues of $2,000,000 while costs were $1,500,000. In 2011, MoreForLess will be introducing a new product line that will generate $200,000 in sales revenues and $160,000 in costs. Assuming no changes are expected for the other products, the differential operating profit for 2011 is
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
Differential operating profit refers to how much will the company's operating profit change if another project or projects is/are carried out.
In this case, the normal operating profit = $2,000,000 - $1,500,000 = $500,000. When the new product line is introduced, additional revenues and costs will result in $40,000 more in profits (= $200,000 - $160,000). The differential operating profits are the $40,000 generated by the new product line.

No effect? Amount of deduction? Amount of income ?
e. In December of year 0, Joe rented equipment to complete a large job. Joe paid $6,750 in December because the rental agency required a minimum rental of three months ($2,250 per month). Joe completed the job before year-end, but he returned the equipment at the end of the lease.
No effect? Amount of deduction? Amount of income ?
f. Joe hired a new sales representative as an employee and sent her to Dallas for a week to contact prospective out-of-state clients. Joe ended up reimbursing his employee $550 for airfare, $600 for lodging, $500 for meals, and $400 for entertainment (Joe provided adequate documentation to substantiate the business purpose for the meals and entertainment). Joe requires the employee to account for all expenditures in order to be reimbursed.

g. Joe uses his BMW (a personal auto) to travel to and from his residence to his factory. However, he switches to a business vehicle if he needs to travel after he reaches the factory. Last month, the business vehicle broke down and he was forced to use the BMW both to travel to and from the factory and to visit work sites. He drove 245 miles visiting work sites and 96 miles driving to and from the factory from his home. Joe uses the standard mileage rate to determine his auto-related business expenses. (Round your answer to whole number. Use standard mileage rate.)

h. Joe paid a visit to his parents in Dallas over the Christmas holidays. While he was in the city, Joe spent $175 to attend a half-day business symposium. Joe paid $450 for airfare, $150 for meals during the symposium, and $95 on cab fare to the symposium.
No effect? Amount of deduction? Amount of income ?
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
a. No Effect on Taxable Income.
First off Joe's income is only dependent on if the test is successful. Even if it were, the test would only be conducted in year 1 March not in year 0 which is the focus of this question. Taxes are only paid when cash is received.
b. No Effect on Taxable Income.
Had there been a business discussion, Joe would have been able to claim a 50% deduction in Tax. However since there was none, there is no effect on Tax.
c. No effect on Taxable Income
The insurance is not tax deductible.
d. $12,750 in taxable income.
Even Joe believes that $2,750 of income might not be collected, he cannot deduct this from taxes until it actually happens therefore his increase in income is $12,750.
e. $2,250 reduction in taxable income
The $6,750 was paid for 3 months. Joe uses Accrual accounting however meaning that expenses have to be recorded for the period they are incurred. $2,250 was incurred for December and so that is the amount that will be deducted as an expense for the year.
f. $1,600 reduction in Taxable income.
If the representative brings back receipts that are in order, Joe can be able to reimburse her for $1,600 in expenses. This includes $550 for airfare, $600 for lodging and for food and entertainment, the maximum he can claim as deductible in tax is 50% of each which means $250 for meals and $200 for entertainment. Adding all that up will give $1,600.
g. $139.15 reduction in Taxable income
Joe drove 96 miles to and fro the factory to his house. This is not tax deductible and considered personal. He however drove 245 miles visiting company sites. This is tax deductible.
The standard rate for 2020 according to the IRS is 57.5 cents per mile so 245 * 57.5 cents per mile will give $139.15.
h. $345 reduction in taxable income
Joe spent $175 to attend to symposium. He also paid $95 in taxi fare to get to the symposium. He ate meals worth $150 during the symposium not which 50% is deductible. 50% being $75. Adding all these together is,
= 175 + 95 + 75
= $345.
This is the taxable reduction.
Zeke Company sells 26,900 units at $16 per unit. Variable costs are $9 per unit, and fixed costs are $38,100. The contribution margin ratio and the unit contribution margin, respectively, are
Answer:
Contribution margin ratio= 0.4375
Contribution margin= $7
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Zeke Company sells 26,900 units at $16 per unit. Variable costs are $9 per unit, and fixed costs are $38,100.
To calculate the contribution margin per unit, we need to use the following formula:
Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Contribution margin= 16 - 9= $7
Now, we can calculate the contribution margin ratio:
Contribution margin ratio= contribution margin/ selling price
Contribution margin ratio= 7/16
Contribution margin ratio= 0.4375
