Answer: She is not.
Explanation:
It would seem as though that Mary got into a type of contract known as an Option Contract or more precisely, a Call Option Contract simply called a Call.
In this type on contract, a seller gives a buyer the right to buy a good or service at a certain price within a set period.
Mary agreed to sell the rare Chinese Art for a certain amount which Mike could not pay but she promised to give him 3 weeks to take it within which he can pay and collect the item.
Mike returned in 2 weeks which was within the range of time allowed and so she should have kept the offer open for the time she said she would.
She is wrong to believe that all she owes him is his down payment. She broke a contract.
Trademark dilution laws: Select one: a. protect "distinctive" or "famous" marks from unauthorized uses even when confusion is not likely to occur. b. are intended at protecting consumers rather than focusing on protecting the investment of trademark owners. c. permit a company to quickly penetrate a foreign market without incurring the substantial financial and legal risks associated with direct investment. d. require the licensee to transfer any inventions it derives from the licensed technology to the licensor.
Answer:
a. protect "distinctive" or "famous" marks from unauthorized uses even when confusion is not likely to occur.
Explanation:
Trademark dilution laws are rules and regulations that seek to protect the trademarks of well known brands from unauthorized use by other brands, in such a way that the distinctive attribute of the trademark is minimized. Trademark dilution laws are meant to ensure that the main purpose for which a product's trademark is known is meant to stand out significantly in the mind of consumers.
Smaller companies might want to copy the trademark of famous brands for their products which might be different. These laws seek to prevent this act even if it may not cause confusion in the minds of consumers as to which brand owns a product.

Hot and Cold has annual sales of $847,000, annual depreciation of $47,000, and net working capital of $43,000. The tax rate is 21 percent and the profit margin is 7.3 percent. The firm has no interest expense. What is the amount of the operating cash flow
Answer:
The amount of the operating cash flow is $108,831
Explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating the amount of the operating cash flow.
Firstly, we calculate the net income.
Mathematically, net income = Sales × % profit margin
From the question, sales = $847,000
% profit margin = 7.3% = 7.3/100 = 0.073
Net income = $847,000 × 0.073 = $61,831
Finally, Operating cash flow = Net income + Depreciation
From the question, depreciation = $47,000
Plugging this alongside the net income,
Operating cash flow = $61,831 + $47,000 = $108,831
A firm is considering two mutually exclusive projects, X and Y, with the following cash flows: 0 1 2 3 4 Project X -$1,000 $100 $320 $400 $700 Project Y -$1,000 $1,000 $110 $55 $45 The projects are equally risky, and their WACC is 13%. What is the MIRR of the project that maximizes shareholder value
Answer:
Project X maximizes shareholder value (highest NPV) and has a MIRR of 14.27%.
Explanation:
year cash flow project X cash flow project Y
0 -1,000 -1,000
1 100 1,000
2 320 110
3 400 55
4 700 45
WACC = 13%
Using an excel spreadsheet I calculated the projects' NPV, IRR and MIRR
NPV IRR MIRR
project X $45.65 15% 14.27%
project Y $36.82 16% 14.03%
The modified internal rate of return (MIRR) considers that the project's cash inflows are invested at the company's WACC and the initial investment is financed at a certain debt rate (in this case the same WACC).
The budgeted income statement presented below is for Burkett Corporation for the coming fiscal year. If Burkett Corporation achieves the budgeted level of sales, what will be its margin of safety in dollars?
Answer:
Margin Of Safety= $275,862
Explanation:
We can calculate the margin of safety easily by the formula given below
Formula: Margin of safety = Budgeted sales - Breakeven sales
As breakeven sales are not given in the data Firstly we need to find out break even sales in order to calculate margin of safety
Breakeven sales= [tex]\frac{Total fixed cost}{Contribution margin ratio}[/tex]
As you can see in the data fixed cost s given but contribution margin ratio is not
Contribution margin(Sales revenue - All variable cost)= $1,000,000 - ($270,000 + $240,000 + $150,000 + $50,000) = $1,000,000 - $710,000 = $290,000
Sales price per unit = Total sales/Number of units sold
Sales price per unit= $1,000,000/50,000 = $20
Budgeted contribution margin= $290,000/50,000 = $5.80
Contribution margin ratio = Budgeted contribution margin per unit/Sales price per unit
Contribution margin ratio = $5.80/$20 = 29%
Lets put values in breakeven formula to find breakeven sales
Breakeven sales= [tex]\frac{Total fixed cost}{Contribution margin ratio}[/tex]
Breakeven sales=[tex]\frac{210000}{0.29}[/tex]
Breakeven sales= $724,138
Now we have both budgeted sales and breakeven sales, we can easily calculate e of safety
Margin of safety = $1,000,000- $724,138
Margin of safety = $275,862
Asset management ratios are used to measure how effectively a firm manages its assets, by relating the amount a firm has invested in a particular type of asset (or group of assets) to the amount of revenues the asset is generating. Examples of asset management ratios include the average collection period (also called the days sales outstanding ratio), the inventory turnover ratio, the fixed asset turnover ratio, and the total asset turnover ratio.
Consider the following case:
Walker Telecommunications has a quick ratio of 2.00x, $35,550 in cash, $19,750 in accounts receivable, some inventory, total current assets of $79,000, and total current liabilities of $27,650. The company reported annual sales of $200,000 in the most recent annual report.
Over the past year, how often did Walker Telecommunications sell and replace its inventory?
a. 8.01 x
b. 5.24 x
c. 2.85 x
d. 4.75x
Answer:
Option A 8.01x is the closest answer
Explanation:
Quick ratio =current assets-inventory/current liabilities
let x represent the value of inventory
quick ratio is 2.00
current assets is $79,000
current liabilities is $27,650
2.00=$79,000-x/$27650
2.00*$27,650=$79,000-x
$55,300=$79,000-x
x=$79,000-$55,300
x= $23,700.00
Inventory turnover =sales/inventory
sales is $200,000
Inventory value is $23,700
inventory turnover ratio=$200,000/$23,700=8.44
The closest option is A,
A roofing company collects fees when jobs are complete. The work for one customer, whose job was bid at $3,900, has been completed as of December 31, but the customer has not yet been billed. Assuming adjustments are only made at year-end, what is the adjusting entry the company would need to make on December 31, the calendar year-end?
Answer:
Debit Accounts Receivable, $3,900;
Credit Roofing Fees Revenue, $3,900
Explanation:
Here, no cash transaction was involved. Since the job has been completed but the customer has not been billed yet, this simply means it has to be debited with accounts receivable, which is recognised as current asset and recognised as revenue for the period, hence needs to be credited.
This means that accounts receivable has to be debited with the amount of $3,900 while roofing fees revenue has to be credited with the amount of $3,900
Considering the above, the adjusting entry the company would need to make on December 31, the calendar year-end would be:
Debit Accounts Receivable, $3,900;
Credit Roofing Fees Revenue, $3.900
The rate of economic growth per capita in france from 1996 to 2000 was 1.9% per year, while in korea over the same period it was 4.2%. Per capita real GDP was $28,900 in france in 2003, and $12,700 in korea. Assume the growth rates for each country remain the same.
1. Compute the doubling time for France’s per capita real GDP.
2. Compute the doubling time for Korea’s per capita real GDP.
3. What will France’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?
4. What will Korea’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?
Answer:
36.83 years
16.85 years
$63,710.88
$ 71,490.43
Explanation:
We can use the nper formula in excel to compute the doubling time for the capital real GDP of both countries
=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)
FV is the future real GDP which $28,900*2=$57,800 for France while that of Korea is $25,400 ($12,700*2)
PV is the present real GDP
rate is the economic growth rate of 4.2% in Korea and 1.9% in France
France=nper(1.9%,0,-28900,57800)= 36.83
Korea=nper(4.2%,0,-12700,25400)= 16.85
In 2045 ,which is 42 years from now the real GDP are shown thus:
=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(1.9%,42,0,-28900)=$63,710.88
=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(4.2%,42,0,-12700)=$ 71,490.43

Balance as per company's ledger = $20,419.93
Add the outstanding checks= $8912.25
Add interest = $27.14
Less the fee charged by the bank = $22.00
The bank statement dated October 31, 2018 would report a balance of:
=($20,419.93 + $8912.25 + $27.14) - $22.00
= $29337.32
Montana Mining Co. pays $3,721,000 for an ore deposit containing 1,525,000 tons. The company installs machinery in the mine costing $213,500, which will be abandoned when the ore is completely mined. Montana mines and sells 166,200 tons of ore during the year. Prepare the year-end entries to record both the ore deposit depletion and the mining machinery depreciation. Mining machinery depreciation should be in proportion to the mine’s depletion.
Answer:
Ore deposit depletion and Mining machinery depreciation Journal entries
Dr Depletion charge (Ore deposits) 405,528
Cr Accumulated depreciation 405,528
Dr Depletion charge (Ore deposits) 23,268
Cr Accumulated depreciation 23,268
Explanation:
Preparation of the year-end entries to record both the ore deposit depletion and the mining machinery depreciation of Montana Mining Co
Depletion of natural resources can be defined as the way in which the cost of natural resources is apportioned upto the period when it will be utilized which is why they are shown at cost in balance sheet.
The entry is to record depreciation charged on ore deposit depletion. Therefore To record this entry we have to debit depletion charges, and credit accumulated depreciation
Dr Depletion charge (Ore deposits) 405,528
Cr Accumulated depreciation 405,528
Computation of depletion cost per unit:
The depletion cost per unit can be calculated by dividing the net cost of the ore with the total units of capacity :
Depletion/units = Cost - Salvage/ Total unit of capacity
$3,721,000/1,525,000 tons
=$2.44
Hence, depletion per unit is $2.44.
Computation depletion amount on ore deposit:
The depletion amount on ore deposit can be calculated by multiplying the cost per depletion unit with the number of units utilized:
Depletion =Cost/Unit ×Units Utilized
$2.44×166,200 tones
=$405,528
Hence, depletion expenses on ore deposit amounts to $405,528.
The pass entry to record depreciation charged on mining machine :
Dr Depletion charge (Ore deposits) 23,268
Cr Accumulated depreciation 23,268
Computation of depreciation cost per unit:
The depletion cost per unit can be calculated by dividing the net cost of the ore with the total units of capacity :
Depletion/units = Cost - Salvage/ Total unit of capacity
$213,500/1,525,000 tons
=$0.14
Hence, depreciation per unit is $0.14.
Computation of depreciation amount on ore deposit:
The depletion amount on ore deposit can be calculated by multiplying the cost per depletion unit with the number of units utilized:
Depletion =Cost/Unit ×Units Utilized
$0.14×166,200 tones
=$23,268
Therefore the depreciation expenses on ore deposit amounts to $23,268

A man turns 40 today and wishes to provide supplemental lifetime retirement income of 3,000 at the beginning of each month starting on his 65th birthday. Starting today, he makes monthly contribution of X to a fund for 25 years. The fund earns a nominal rate of 8% compounded monthly. Every 9.65 of lifetime income paid at the beginning of each month starting at age 65 will cost 1,000 to purchase. Calculate x.
Answer:
324.72
Explanation:
To get an income of $1, the man needs [tex]\frac{1000}{9.65}[/tex], therefore to get an income of $3000, the man needs [tex]\frac{1000*3000}{9.65}=310880.83[/tex].
Interest (i)= 8%/12 = 0.08/12 = 0.00667
Number of periods (N) = 12 months/year × 25 years = 300
Using actuarial notation:
[tex]Xs_{300/0.006667}=310880.83\\Where:\\s_{300/0.006667}=(1+0.006667)\frac{(1+0.006667)^{300}-1}{0.00667} =957.366[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]957.366X=310880.83\\X=\frac{310880.83}{957.366} =324.72[/tex]

Answer:
Preferred Stock Common Stock
(dividend per share) (dividend per share)
Year 1 $1.50 $0.75
Year 2 $0.60 $0.00
Year 3 $2.40 $1.05
Explanation:
For Year 1:
Total dividend distributed = $75,000
Preferred shareholders' dividend = $50 * 25,000 * 3% = $37,500
Preferred shareholders' dividend per share = $37,500 / 25,000 = $1.50
Common stockholders' dividend = Total dividend distributed - Preferred shareholders' dividend = $75,000 - $37,500 = $37,500
Common stockholders' dividend per share = $37,500 / 50,000 = $0.75
For Year 2:
Total dividend distributed = $15,000
Dividend payable to preferred shareholders = $50 * 25,000 * 3% = $37,500
Dividend paid to preferred shareholders = $15,000
Preferred shareholders' dividend per share = $15,000 / 25,000 = $0.60
Preferred shareholders' dividend carried forward = Dividend payable to preferred shareholders - Total dividend distributed = $37,500 - $15,000 = $22,500
Common stockholders' dividend = $0
Common stockholders' dividend per share = $0
For Year 3:
Total dividend distributed = $112,500
Total dividend paid to preferred shareholders = $37,500 + Preferred shareholders' dividend carried down from Year 2 = $37,500 + $22,500 = $60,000
Preferred shareholders' dividend per share = $60,000 / 25,000 = $2.40
Common stockholders' dividend = Total dividend distributed - Total dividend paid to preferred shareholders = $112,500 - $60,000 = $52,500
Common stockholders' dividend per share = $52,500 / 50,000 = $1.05

A notice is published stating that RMO 5% convertible preferred stock will be called at $60 per share. The preferred is convertible into 1/2 share of common and is selling in the market at $56 per share. RMO common stock is selling in the market at $110 per share. After the notice appears, the price of the preferred stock will most likely trade in the market at: _________.
Answer: d. A price near $60
Explanation:
The Preferred Stock was selling at $56 then a notice was circulated that RMO would be calling the stock at a price of $60.
This $60 is more than the current $56 and so this will need to reflect in the price of the stock. The adjustment will cause the Preferred stock to start trading near $60 as traders will seek to take advantage of the impending call by buying at a lower price and thus making a bit of profit when the stock is called at $60. The market will adjust to this because the Preferred stock will be perceived as undervalued. A price closer to the Call price will therefore become the new price to properly value the stock.
Isabella files her income tax return 35 days after the due date of the return without obtaining an extension from the IRS. Along with the return, she remits a check for $40,000, which is the balance of the tax she owes.Note: Assume 30 days in a month.Disregarding the interest element, enter Isabella's failure to file penalty and and failure to pay penalty.
Answer:
a. Failure to pay penalty = 400
b. Failure to file penalty = $4,000
Explanation:
The monthly rate for failure to pay penalty is 0.5% while the failure to file penalty.
Since it is assumed that there are 30 days in a month, the 35 days after the due date of the return without obtaining an extension from the IRS is will be counted as 2 months regardless of the fact that the second month is just 5 files when she filed.
Therefore, we have:
a. Failure to pay penalty = $40,000 * 0.5% * 2 = 400
b. Failure to file penalty = ($40,000 * 5% * 2) = $4,000
c. Total penalties = (Failure to file penalty - failure to pay penalty for the same period) + Failure to pay penalty = ($4,000 - $400) + $400 = $4,000.
Therefore, the total penalty Isabella will pay is $4,000.

Wrong Meds, Again! “It was horrible,” said the distraught client. “No matter how many times I provided the information, no one listened to me. And they obviously didn’t listen to each other either, because they used the wrong meds . . . again.” “Okay, calm down. Now tell me what happened from the beginning,” urged Melanie Torrent, the Quality Assurance Manager for Hope Memorial Hospital. “I got a call at work saying my father was being taken to the hospital from the nursing home. The nursing home always sends a list of medications with the ambulance, but when I got to the emergency room, they were asking my dad what medications he was taking. Of course my dad told them he wasn’t taking any medications and they believed him! He’s sent to the emergency room from a nursing home and they decide it’s reasonable for him not to be on any medications . . . so of course I corrected him and told them to find the medication list. I don’t know whether the ambulance driver forgot to bring in the list, or gave it to the wrong person, or what, but they couldn’t find it. My dad must be on 12 different medications so I wasn’t sure I could remember them correctly. I called the nursing home and we went over the list with them, and then I gave the handwritten list to the nursing station. In the meantime, my dad was admitted to the hospital and moved to a hospital room. Again, a nurse came in with a computer and asked me to tell them what meds he was talking. I tried to tell them that the emergency room had the list, but she said it would be the next morning before the list got updated online. Nevertheless, the nurse called down to the emergency room and was faxed up the list of medications. Only the fax was unreadable, so they came back to me. It was a few hours before his next meds were due, so I drove over to the nursing home, had them make several legible copies of the meds list and drove back to the hospital. I gave the nurse the list, kept one for myself and posted the other on the bulletin board in my dad’s room. The nurse thanked me and said she’d take care of it at the end of her shift. After a long night at the hospital, I woke up the next morning to see my dad hallucinating. I knew immediately what had happened—there’s a certain drug that he has this reaction to. I ran down to the nurse’s station and had her look up the medications he had been given. Sure enough, it was there, along with several other medications he should no longer be taking. Turns out, the list was from two years ago when he had last been admitted to the hospital! How could they have made that kind of mistake—using data from two years ago?” “That is something we’ll look into. More importantly, has your father been taken off the drug?” “Yes.” “And has the medication list been corrected?” “Yes.” “And how is he doing today?” “Fine today, but it could have been more serious and I think you should look into changing your procedures so this doesn’t happen again . . .” “I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I will speak to the persons involved and I assure you this will not happen again. Hope Memorial prides itself on being a caring and responsible health care provider. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have another client to see . . .” 1. Trace the path of the medication list and denote possible failure points. Construct a process flowchart of the existing process and create a new chart of an improved process. 2. Was the medication error a failure of individuals or a failure of the process? Explain. 3. Think about the different settings, the ambulance, the emergency room, the hospital room, and the nurse’s station. How is data handled in each scenario? Can the process of recording information be changed so that every one is using the same data? How can the accuracy of the data be assured? 4. Given Melanie’s reaction, do you think this error will happen again? Why or why not?

An open democratic society is one that is characterized by a degree of freedom for the populace and as such, it gives the people the privilege of fairly competing for all resources.
In an open democratic society, there's ease of doing business because the government would ensure there's an enabling environment by virtue of laws, regulations, policies, SME loans, taxation etc. The open society being opposed to autocracy, ensures that the government is typically responsive and tolerant to every individual living in the country. This simply means that, fundamental human rights and all the necessary infrastructures or amenities such as power, water, transportation systems are readily available and accessible to all.
Consequently, the cost of doing business becomes low and more individuals would be willing to startup their business; investors are confident of investing in the economy because they believe in the system put in place in an open democratic society.
Real-Balances Effect Household Expectations Interest-Rate Effect Personal Income Tax Rates Profit Expectations National Incomes Abroad Government Spending Answer the question based on the accompanying list of factors that are related to the aggregate demand curve. Changes in which two of the factors would most likely cause a shift in aggregate demand due to a change in consumer spending.
Answer: Household Expectations
Personal Income Tax Rates
Explanation:
The Aggregate Demand curve can shift as a result of Consumer Spending, Government Spending, Investment Spending or Net Export spending.
When the AD shifts due to a change in Consumer Spending, the reasons are usually related to individuals in the economy including Households.
One of the reasons there may be a shift is due to changes in Household Expectations.
If a Household expects an Economic variable such as Inflation to change in the future, it might inspire them to act now to take advantage of it. For example, if a Household expects that car prices will rise in future, they may decide to buy a car now instead so as not to pay a higher amount in future thus increasing demand and shifting the AD curve Right.
Another reason could be the Personal Income Tax rate. Taxes reduce the amount that people have after they are paid. A change in personal income tax rates therefore is a change in people's income. If Personal Tax rates were to reduce for instance, that would mean that people would have more money to spend and they might consume this extra money. This would increase Consumption and therefore shift the AD curve Right.
Ace Ventura, Inc., has expected earnings of $5 per share for next year. The firm's ROE is 15%, and its earnings retention ratio is 40%. If the firm's market capitalization rate is 10%, to the nearest dollar what is the present value of its growth opportunities
Answer: $25
Explanation:
Value with no growth = Expected earnings/Market capitalization rate
= $5/10%
= $5/0.1
= $50
Growth rate = Earnings retention ratio × ROE
Growth rate = 40% × 15%
= 40/100 × 15/100
= 0.4 × 0.15
= 0.06 = 6%
Value with growth = [$5 × (1-0.4)]/(0.10 - 0.06)
= ($5 × 0.6)/0.04
= $3/0.04
= $75
Present value of growth opportunities will now be:
= Value with growth - value with no growth
= $75 - $50
= $25
The following account balances are taken from the December 31, 2018, financial statements of ABZ Advertising Company. The company uses accrual basis accounting.

Incurred $45,000 of operating expenses; $39,000 was paid in cash and $6,000 was on account and unpaid as of the end of the year. Which of the following is the journal entry that will be used to record activity #3? Multiple Choice Debit Cash and credit Accounts Receivable for $2,500. Debit Deferred Revenue and credit Advertising Revenue for $2,500. Debit Deferred Revenue and credit Receivable for $2,500. Debit Cash and credit Deferred Revenue for $2,500.
Answer:
Debit Cash and credit Deferred Revenue for $2,500.
Explanation:
Deferred revenue can be described as an advance payment thta is received a business for services to be performed or goods to be delivered in the future.
This type of revenue will not be reported in the income statement but it will be reported as a liability under the current liabilities in the balance sheet, after debiting the cash account, until when the services are performed or goods are delivered.
For this question, $2,500 deposits received in 2018 from customers for advertising services to be performed in 2020 will not be reported in the 2018 income statement but it will continue to be reported as a liability under the current liabilities in the balance sheet till 2020 when the services are performed.
Thereofe, the correct journal entry that will be used to record activity #3 is Debit Cash and credit Deferred Revenue for $2,500.
Find the value of C, which makes the following two cash flow series equivalent. Assume that the market interest rate is 6% per year. Note: There are multiple approaches to solving this problem so be sure to consider the computational efficiencies of each approach before starting! $400 $400 $400 $400 $400 $125 $125 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 o 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 -$250 $250 $250
Answer:
Find attached complete question.
$ 750.10
Explanation:
In order to ascertain the value of C ,we need to equate the present value of the two streams of cash flows to each other as follows:
first stream:
$400/(1+6%)^1+$400/(1+6%)^2+$125/(1+6%)^3+$400/(1+6%)^4+$400/(1+6%)^5+$125/(1+6%)^6+$400/(1+6%)^7=$1,808.19
Second stream:
C/(1+6%)^1+C/(1+6%)^2-$250/(1+6%)^3-$250/(1+6%)^4-$250/(1+6%)^5+C/(1+6%)^6+C/(1+6%)^7
-$250/(1+6%)^3-$250/(1+6%)^4-$250/(1+6%)^5=-$594.74
C/(1+6%)^1+C/(1+6%)^2+C/(1+6%)^6+C/(1+6%)^7=C/0.9434+C/0.8900+C/ 0.7050+C/ 0.6651
simplification
C/0.9434+C/0.8900+C/ 0.7050+C/ 0.6651=C/(0.9434+0.8900+0.7050+0.6651)= 0.31216C
All in all:
$1,808.19 =-$594.74+ 0.31216C
$1,808.19+$594.74= 0.31216C
$2402.93 = 0.31216C
C=$2402.93* 0.31216 =$ 750.10
Blythe Company has provided the following information: Sales price per unit $40 Variable cost per unit 18 Fixed costs per month 12,800 What is the amount of sales in dollars required for Blythe to break even? (Round any percentages to two decimal places and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Break-even sales in dollars = $23,273
Explanation:
The break-even point is the selling price at which the selling price, equals the cost of production. no profit is made, but no loss is incurred too.
we will use the formula for calculating required selling price, to calculate the break-even price as follows:
Required selling price = (Fixed costs + Target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin ratio)
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ net sales revenue
Contribution margin = sales price - variable cost
contribution margin = 40 - 18 = $22
Net sales revenue = $40
∴ contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin ÷ net sales revenue) × 100
= 22 ÷ 40 = 55.00% = 0.55
∴ Required selling price = (Fixed costs + Target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin ratio)
Required selling price = (12,800 + 0) ÷ 55.00%
= 12,800 ÷ 0.55 = 23,272.7 = 23,273 (to the nearest dollars)
Break-even sales in dollars = $23,273

Letts Corporation manufactures and sells a single product. The company uses units as the measure of activity in its budgets and performance reports. During January, the company budgeted for 7,000 units, but its actual level of activity was 6,970 units. The company has provided the following data concerning the formulas to be used in its budgeting: Fixed element per month Variable element per unit Revenue − $ 30.40 Direct labor $ 0 $ 6.10 Direct materials 0 8.70 Manufacturing overhead 46,700 1.80 Selling and administrative expenses 27,800 0.20 Total expenses $ 74,500 $ 16.80 The selling and administrative expenses in the planning budget for January would be closest to:
Answer:
Total Selling and administrative expenses $29200
Explanation:
Letts Corporation Manufacturers
Fixed element per month Variable element per unit
Revenue − $ 30.40
Direct labor $ 0 $ 6.10
Direct materials 0 8.70
Manufacturing overhead 46,700 1.80
Selling & admin. expenses 27,800 0.20
Total expenses $ 74,500 $ 16.80
We multiply the variable cost per unit with the planned number of units to get the variable budgeted cost. Fixed cost will however remain unchanged.
Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost per unit * No Of units
Fixed Selling and administrative expenses $ 27,800
Variable Selling and administrative expenses 0.20*7000= $ 1400
Total Selling and administrative expenses $29200

Skilled versus unskilled labor markets Consider the labor markets for unskilled workers and skilled workers in the United States. Suppose you read the following newspaper headline: "The U.S. Department of Education Issues Report on Increased Productivity Effects of a College Education, but College Enrollment Remains Constant." The previous scenario primarily affects the labor market for ______ workers.
Answer: Skilled Workers.
Explanation:
Skilled workers refers to those with the skills and abilities required to work in their various tasks. Often these skills are gained from tertiary level institutions such as Universities, Colleges or Technical Schools.
When the report speaks of how having a college education leads to increased productivity, it is targeting skilled workers who as the definition states, have probably gone to College or Universities and the like.
This report will increase the labour market for skilled college education holders as companies might want to hire them more to gain from the reported increased productivity.
