Explanation:
To make thge jounral entries we must follow the basic principles:
debit = credit
and one value per account
Is important to comment that A state the income has been earned so we deduct from account recievables
then. we again receive cash for service earned
In none ofthe case we are doing the recognition of hte deferred revenue so this, stays untouched.
G) 19,900 x $13 each = $258,700
half cash-half credit : 258,700 / 2 = 129,350

Explanation:
"ART Company just paid a dividend of $2.00. The dividend is expected to grow by 10% this year, 9% in year two and 6% in year three. Then, beginning in year four, the dividend will begin growing at a constant rate of 4%. With a required return of 10%, what is the stock worth today
Answer:
The stock is worth $38.99 per share today
Explanation:
We can calculate the value of the stock using the dividend discount model approach (DDM). The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the price of the stock today, we simply discount back all the future expected dividends and terminal value (calculated when the growth rate in dividends become constant) to their present value using the required rate of return as the discount factor.
The value of ART company's stock today will be,
P0 or V0 = 2 * (1+0.1) / (1+0.1) + 2 * (1+0.1)*(1+0.09) / (1+0.1)^2 +
2 * (1+0.1)*(1+0.09)*(1+0.06) / (1+0.1)^3 +
[( 2 * (1+0.1)*(1+0.09)*(1+0.06)*(1+0.04)) / (0.1 - 0.04)] / (1+0.1)^3
P0 or V0 = $38.9939 rounded off to $38.99
An investor is deciding whether to build a retail store. If she invests in the store and it is successful, she expects a return of $100,000 in the first year. If the store is not successful, she will suffer a loss of $80,000. She guesses that the probability that the store will be a success is 0.6. To remove some of the uncertainty from this decision, the investor tries to establish more information, but this market research will cost $20,000. If she spends this money, she will have more confidence in her investment. There is a 0.6 probability that this information will be favorable; if it is, the likelihood that the store will be a success increases to 0.9. If the information is not favorable, the likelihood that the store will be a success reduces to only 0.2. Of course, she can elect to do nothing.
A) Draw the associated decision tree.
B) What do you recommend?
C) How much is the information worth?
Replace all the monetary values with the following utilities
Monetary Value Utility
$100,000 1.00
$80,000 0.40
$0 0.20
-$20,000 0.10
-$80,000 0.05
-$100,000 0.00
A) What do you recommend, based on expected utility?
B) Is the investor a risk soeker or a risk avoider?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
expects a return of $100,000 in the first year
loss of $80,000
probability that the store will be a success is 0.6
research will cost $20,000
0.6 probability that this information will be favorable
store will be a success increases to 0.9
store will be a success reduces to only 0.2
a) Decision tree is attachedEMV= (payoff of first outcome) * (probability of first outcome) + (payoff of second outcome) * (probability of second outcome) + (payoff of third outcome) * (probability of third outcome)
EMV(node 1) = EMV(new store)
= ($100,000 * 0.6) + (-80,000 * 0.4)
=$28,000
EMV (node 2) = EMV (no store)
= $0
EMV (node 3) = EMV ( new store and favourable research)
= ($100,000 * 0.9) + (-80,000 * 0.1)
=$82,000
EMV (node 4) = EMV ( no store and favourable research)
= $0
EMV (node 5) = EMV ( new store and unfavourable research)
= ($100,000 * 0.2) + (-80,000 * 0.8)
= -$44,000
EMV (node 6) = EMV ( no new store and unfavourable research)
= $0
B) Here we compare EMV of not conducting the market research ans EMV of conducting the market research and the maximum EMV shall be taken for decision making
Here the EMV of conducting the market research is higher than not conductingHence, the investor can go to market research test. If result is positive, she can invest in the store, if negative she can stop the proposal.
Karen Bartlett was given a generic version of Sulindac, an anti-inflammatory drug. The result was that she developed toxic epidermal necrolysis, a disease that disfigured and blinded her. She brought suit alleging that there were warnings that should have been put on the generic version of the drug because issues with the skin infections were being reported. However, the manufacturer to Sulindac did not have FDA approval to place the warning on the product. The jury awarded Ms. Bartlett $21 million, and the generic manufacturer appealed the decision. Which of the following theories would be the best approach for the generic manufacturer to take in order to have the verdict reversed?
a. the commerce clause
b. substantive due process
c. preemption
d. due process because of the excessive size of the verdict
Answer:
option c: Preemption
Explanation:
preemption can simply be defined as the rule of law that proclaims the federal law and the constitution as the supreme law in all the land so therefore if there is a case whereby there is a conflict between a federal and a state law, the federal law will be in absolute control and this will render the state law to be void.
there are two primary occasion that will warrant preemption they are where clearly, federal law preempts state or local law, and also where preemption is implied. different kind of preemption can also be said to be express preemption, implied preemption, field preemption, conflict preemption and frustration of purpose preemption.

Explanation:
From the question stated the features that highlights the return of investment is listed as follows.
The significance of investment turnover as a key to income is stressedThe importance import of revenues is explicitly recognizedThe significant components are expressed as ratios or percentages instead of dollar figures.Hence, the last option is not correct.
On January 1, Valuation Allowance for Available-for-Sale Investments had a zero balance. On December 31, the cost of the available-for-sale securities was $252,000, and the fair value was $258,890. Prepare the adjusting entry to record the unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale investments on December 31. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles.
Answer:
Dr Valuation Allowance for Available-for-Sale Investments $6890
Cr unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS investments $6890
Explanation:
The unrealized gain or loss on the available-for-sale securities is the difference between its cost of $252,000 and the fair value of $258,890 on 31st December.
Gain/(loss)=$258,890-$252,000=$6890 unrealized gain
The amount would be credited to unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS investments while Valuation Allowance for Available-for-Sale Investments would be debited with the same amount

15) A market is defined as A) a physical place where people buy only goods. B) a physical place where people buy both goods and services. C) a store where people buy physical goods. D) any arrangement that brings buyers and sellers together. E) a place where one good is bartered for another.
Answer:
D) any arrangement that brings buyers and sellers together.
Explanation:
In earlier times before now a market has a specific way of defining it. But due to recent advancement in technology, it can be described or defined to be any arrangement that brings buyers and sellers together.
The power of online presence totally altered the initial marker definitions the world know as any physical place where these buyers and sellers meet to do their tradings or businesses or a place where goods are bartered for another. Therefore any arrangement, be it via mail, sms, codes, online stores, video meetings etc are all forms of market places.
Suppose that Dmitri, an economist from an AM talk radio program, and Frances, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing over saving incentives. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Caroline: The usefulness of government intervention in the economy is a long-standing issue that economists continue to debate.
Antonio: I feel that government involvement in the economy should be reduced because government programs cause more harm than good.
Caroline: While I do agree that government programs can be inefficient, I really think they are necessary to help the less fortunate.
1. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to
a. differences in values
b. differences in scientific judgement
c.differences in perception verse reality.
2. Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
a. Lawyers make up an excessive percentage of elected officials.
b. Minimum wage laws do more to harm low-skilled workers than help them.
c. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.
Answer:
1. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to
a. differences in values
2. Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
a. Lawyers make up an excessive percentage of elected officials.
Explanation:
Economists chosen at random do not usually agree on economic events and realities, instead, they are more likely to agree on issues that are not economic. They offer differing opinions based on similar principles. Most of their disagreements stem from differences in what they place their values on. Some value market-oriented approaches while others value government interventions in market situations, with other variants in-between.
A manufacturing firm is considering two locations for a plant to produce a new product. The two locations have fixed and variable costs as follows: Location FC (annual) VC (per unit) Atlanta $ 80,000 $ 20 Phoenix $ 140,000 $ 16 If the annual demand will be 20,000 units, what would be the cost advantage of the better location? HINT: Compare the total costs Select one: a. 40000 b. 20000 c. 460000 d. 60000
Answer:
Cost Advantage of different locations:
b. $20,000
Phoenix certainly had a cost advantage over Atlanta and based on this factor, it should be chosen for the new plant instead of any other city.
Explanation:
a) Total Costs of different locations:
Atlanta Phoenix
Fixed Cost $80,000 $140,000
Variable cost 400,000 320,000
Total Costs $480,000 $460,000
b) Variable costs
Atlanta Phoenix
Annual Demand 20,000 20,000
Variable cost/unit $20 $16
Total variable cost $400,000 $320,000
c) Cost Advantage is the competitive edge which location (or company) can have over another through reduced production or marketing costs or both so that it can offer cheaper prices or use excess profits to bolster promotion or distribution. In this case, the comparison is on the total cost, which is made of variable and fixed costs.

CarsonWentz Company uses a job-order costing system. The company applies manufacturing overhead to jobs using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. Last year, manufacturing overhead and direct labor-hours were estimated at $88,000 and 16,000 hours respectively, for the year. In June, job #315 was completed. Materials costs on the job totaled $1,590 and labor costs totaled $2,340 at $6.50 per hour. At the end of the year, it was determined that the company worked 15,300 direct labor-hours for the year, and incurred $86,750 in actual manufacturing overhead cos
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated manufacturing overhead= $88,000
Estimated direct labor-hours= 16,000
Job 315:
Materials costs on the job totaled $1,590 and labor costs totaled $2,340 at $6.50 per hour.
At the end of the year, it was determined that the company worked 15,300 direct labor-hours for the year, and incurred $86,750 in actual manufacturing overhead costs.
With the information provided, we can calculate the total cost of Job 315 and the amount of under/over allocated overhead.
First, we need to determine the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 88,000/16,000= $5.5 per direct labor hour
Job 315:
Direct labor hours= 2,340/6.5= 360 hours
Total cost= 1,590 + 2,340 + 5.5*360= $5,910
Now, to calculate the over/under allocation, first, we need to allocate overhead for the whole company.
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 5.5*15,300= $84,150
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 86,750 - 84,150= $2,600 underallocated

3. Determine the total interest expense for Year 1.
Interest expense 1,535,897
4. Will the bond proceeds always be less than the face amount of the bonds when the contract rate is less than the market rate of interest?
Yes, when the bond's interest rate is lower than the market rate, the bonds will be sold at a discount (less than face value). The market rate applicable to this bond issuance is the one used for similar bonds, so the market rate can change depending on the bond.
5. Compute the price of $37,282,062 received for the bonds by using the present value tables
the value of the bonds = PV of face value + PV of coupons
PV of face value = $40,000,000 / (1 + 4%)²⁰ = $18,255,478PV of annuity = $1,400,000 x PV annuity 4% for 20 periods = $1,400,000 x 13.59033 = $19,026,462total value = $18,255,478 + $19,026,462 = $37,281,940
There is a small difference, $122, due to rounding errors from the annuity table. But the error is not significant, it represents only 0.0003% of the bonds' price.
Explanation:
issued $40,000,000 of 10-year, 7% bonds at a market (effective) interest rate of 8%, receiving cash of $37,282,062
coupon payment = $40,000,000 x 7% x 1/2 = $1,400,000
semiannual coupon paid December 31 and June 30
Discount on bonds payable $2,717,938 / 20 coupons = $135,896.90 ≈ $135,897 per coupon payment
The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $800,000 in a fixed asset with a useful life of four years, straight-line depreciation, no residual value, and an expected total net income of $360,000 for the four years is
Answer:
22.5%
Explanation:
For computation of return on investment first we need to find out the average investment and average income per year which is shown below:-
Average investment = Proposed investment ÷ Average
= $800,000 ÷ 2
= $400,000
Now, the Average income per year = Expected total net income ÷ Number of year
= $360,000 ÷ 4
= $90,000
Return on investment = Average income per year ÷ Average investment
= $90,000 ÷ $400,000
= 0.225
or
= 22.5%
The owner of a small firm has just purchased a personal computer, which she expects will serve her for the next two years. The owner has been told that she "must" buy a surge suppressor to provide protection for her new hardware against possible surges or variations in the electrical current, which have the capacity to damage the computer. The amount of damage to the computer depends on the strength of the surge. It has been estimated that there is a 3% chance of incurring 350 dollar damage, 5% chance of incurring 250 dollar damage, and 12% chance of incurring 100 dollar damage from a surge within the next two years. An inexpensive suppressor, which would provide protection for only one surge, can be purchased. How much should the owner be willing to pay if she makes decisions on the basis of expected value
Answer:
$35
Explanation:
The computation of the expected value is shown below;
As we know that
= Estimated chance of damage percentage × dollar damage + Estimated chance of damage percentage × dollar damage + Estimated chance of damage percentage × dollar damage
= 3% × $350 + 5% × $250 + 12% × $100
= $10.5 + $12.5 + $12
= $35
We simply multiplied the estimated chance of damage percentage with the dollar damage and then added the other two so that the expected value could arrive
Which of the following is NOT a pitfall an organization should avoid in strategic planning? Involving all managers rather than delegating planning to a "planner" Failing to communicate the plan to employees Failing to create a collaborative climate supportive of change Top managers not actively supporting the strategic-planning process Doing strategic planning only to satisfy accreditation or regulatory requirements
Answer:
Involving all managers rather than delegating planning to a "planner"
Explanation:
Strategic planning is a process of establishing the direction of a business. It assesses where the business is and where it is going. And the action plan needed to get to it's goal.
Delegating planning to a planner rather than involving all managers is an identified pitfall in strategic planning.
This is why Involving all managers rather than delegating planning to a "planner" is the correct answer since we are required to identify a non pitfall by the question.
NewTech Incorporated management plans on paying the company's first dividend of $2.00 three years from today (D3 = $2.00) on its' common stock. After year three the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% thereafter. As an investor with a required rate of return of 15%, what would you pay for NewTech common stock today?
Answer:
Stock price today = $13.807
Explanation:
According to the dividend valuation model , the current price of a stock is the present value of the expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return
This principle can be applied as follows:
The value of cash flow the stock today is the present value of the future cash flow discounted at the required rate of return
Step 1 : Compute the PV in year 3 of future dividend
PV = D× (1+g)/r-g
D- div in year 3, g- growth rate, r-required rate of return
PV in year 3 = 2× (1.05)/0.15-0.05
= 21
Step 2: PV in year in year 0
PV = PV in year 3 × (1+r)^(-n)
r-rate of return- 15%, n- number of years- 3
= 21 × 1.15^(-3)
=13.80784088
Stock price today = $13.807
Trucks R' Us has a market capitalization of $142 million, $78 billion in BB rated debt, and $10 billion in cash. If Trucks R' Us' equity beta is 1.68, then their underlying asset beta is closest to:
Answer:
Their underlying asset beta is closest to is 1.08
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Debt is given as $78 billion
Equity is given as $142 billion
equity beta given as 1.68
Therefore, in order to calculate the underlying asset beta we would have to use the formula of the the equity beta for a levered firm as follows:
betaE =beta A [1 + (Debt / Equity)]
1.68 = \beta A [1 + ($78 B/ $142 B)]
1.68 = \beta A [1 + 0.5493]
betaA = 1.68 / 1.5493
betaA = 1.08
Their underlying asset beta is closest to is 1.08
If 4 million kegs of beer are sold, , which means that: It would be fairer for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beer. It would be fairer for society to devote more resources to the production of beer. Society is currently devoting the efficient quantity of resources to the production of beer. It would be more efficient for society to devote more resources to the production of beer. If 12 million kegs of beer are sold, , which means that: It would be fairer for society to devote more resources to the production of beer. Society is currently devoting the efficient amount of resources to the production of beer. It would be fairer for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beer. It would be more efficient for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beer. The efficient allocation of resources would result in the production of kegs of beer.
Answer:
1. It would be more efficient for society to devote more resources to the production of beer.
2. Society is currently devoting the efficient amount of resources to the production of beer.
Explanation:
1. If 4 million kegs of beer are sold, the marginal benefit exceeds marginal cost which means that: the society values this quantity of kegs of beer and would be more beneficial and efficient if the society devote more resources to beer production.
2. If 12 million kegs of beer are sold, where marginal cost equal marginal benefit, it means that this is a good point in which shows an efficient allocation of resources to beer production because the marginal cost of the resources is equal to the marginal benefit of each keg of beer.
If 4 million kegs of beers are sold, marginal benefit exceeds the marginal cost, which means that :
It would be more efficient for society to devote more resources to the production of beers.
Reason :
the advantage of an additional unit of producing a good is more than the cost of producing it.hence it is good to produce more where marginal benefit equals marginal cost.If 12 million kegs of beers are sold, marginal cost exceeds the marginal benefit, which means that :
It would be more efficient for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beers.

Every year, the U.S. Census Bureau conducts an income survey of about 60,000 American families carefully selected to represent the whole population. The data collected help to measure income inequality in the economy. Which of the following causes the census data to inaccurately measure income inequality?
a) Very few people move from one income quintile to another over the years.
b) Higher-income families tend to have more persons to support.
c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.
Answer:
c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.
Explanation:
In the given scenario the aim of the census is to measure income inequality in the population selected.
If however the amount of income earned by individuals is not estimated accurately the results of the study will be inaccurate.
In kind transfers are usually goods and services that a person gets for free of at a reduced rate. They are not considered to be income.
When in kind transfers are counted as income and do not actually add up to income, we cannot get a true picture of income of participants of the income survey.
People who have low income but high in kind transfers will be considered high income earners which is not true.
