The main cause of downsizing, refocusing, and outsourcing during the latter part of the 20th century was: Group of answer choices (a) Developments in IT—especially the advent of the internet (b) A more turbulent business environment Both (a) and (b) Neither (a) nor (b)
Answer: Both (a) and (b)
Explanation:
Developments in IT—especially the advent of the internet
The latter 20th century saw many technological changes as the world evolved in IT. Markets that were not previously accessible became more accessible and many new products were created and flourished. The internet brought markets and people together and there was an immense opportunity for growth and success. This forced companies to adapt to the new environment because failure to take advantage on the new opportunities that IT offered could spell doom. Companies responded by downsizing to take advantage of better production technologies that required less people, they refocused their strategies to enable higher productivity and with IT making the world so interconnected, they were able to outsource production to cheaper places knowing that they could maintain regular contact with such place. These are but a few reasons why.
A more turbulent business environment.
The latter 20th century also saw a wave of turbulence in the business world. With a rise in nationalistic feelings and conflict that made acquiring raw materials harder such as the oil crises of the '70s and the 80s. This as well as the presence of more companies which led to increased competition forced some companies to engage in actions necessary for survival. They had to downsize, refocus and sometimes outsource to remain profitable.

Dr Interest expense 36,446
Dr Premium on bonds payable 8,554
Cr Cash 45,000
Explanation:
bonds price = PV of face value + PV of coupons
PV of face value = $1,000,000 / 1.03²⁰ = $553,675.75
PV of coupon payments = $45,000 x 14.8775 (annuity factor 3%, 20 payments) = $669,487.50
issue price = $553,675.75 + $669,487.50 = $1,223,163.25 ≈ $1,223,163
Dr Cash 1,223,163
Cr Bonds payable 1,000,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 223,163
amortization coupon 1 = $45,000 - ($1,223,163 x 3%) = $45,000 - $36,695 = $8,305
amortization coupon 2 = $45,000 - ($1,214,858 x 3%) = $45,000 - $36,446 = $8,554

Ben has two options this weekend. He could work at his job and earn $8 per hour for three hours, or he could go to an exhibit at the art museum for that three hours. A ticket for the event costs $30. What is the opportunity cost of the event?
Answer:
Opportunity cost= -$54
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
He could work at his job and earn $8 per hour for three hours, or he could go to an exhibit at the art museum for those three hours. A ticket for the event costs $30.
The opportunity cost is the "cost" of not taking other alternatives.
Opportunity cost= total revenue - economic profit
Opportunity cost= -30 - 24= -$54

Identify whether each of the following examples belongs to Money aggregates (M1 or M2). If an example belongs in both, be sure to write it down.
a. Sean has $30,000 in a money market account.
b. Musashi has a roll of quarters that he just withdrew from the bank to do laundry.
c. Yvette has $7,000 in a two-year certificate of deposit (CD).
Any type of money that falls into the M2 category is, by definition, part of M1 as well.
a. True
b. False
Answer: 1. a) M2
b) M1 and M2
c) M2
2. b. False
Explanation:
1.
M1 is a type of definition of money by economists that seek to explain the circulation of money in the economy. It includes cash and cash equivalents that are easy to convert into cash. This includes actual physical cash as well as Demand Deposits.
M2 is the definition that follows after M1. M2 by definition includes all the types of cash in M1 as well as deposits less than $100,000, non Institutional Money Market Fund investments and savings deposits. It isn't as liquid as M1 but is very important in forecasting inflation.
The classifications therefore are,
a) M2. This is M2 as it is a Non Institutional Money Market investment by Sean.
b) M1 and M2. This is physical cash and as such is part of M1 and as stated, anything part of M1 is part of M2 as well.
c) M2. As a deposit less than $100,000, the $7,000 that Yvette has in the CD classifies as M2.
2. False.
Money that is part of M2 is not automatically part of M1. M1 includes only physical cash as well as Demand Deposits while M2 has other forms such as savings deposits and small time deposits. Money that is part of M1 is automatically part of M2 and not the other way around.

Purchased 155,000 pounds of raw materials at a cost of $7.20 per pound. All of this material was used in production.
Direct laborers worked 65,000 hours at a rate of $15 per hour.
Total variable manufacturing overhead for the month was $612,300.
rev: 11_20_2017_QC_CS-109672
Foundational 10-12
What variable manufacturing overhead cost would be included in the company’s planning budget for March?
Answer:
$540,000
Explanation:
The amount on of variable manufacturing overhead cost to be included in the company's planning budget for March is budgeted production units of 20,000 units multiplied by standard direct labor hours of 3 hours per unit multiplied by cost of direct labor hour used for variable overhead which is $9.
budgeted variable overhead cost for March=20,000*3*$9=$540,000.00
However, the actual cost of variable manufacturing overhead for the month is $612,300,hence an adverse variance of $72,300 is recorded ($612,300-$540,000)

gThe fact that flotation costs can be significant is justification for: maintaining a low dividend policy and rarely issuing extra dividends. a firm to issue larger dividends than their closest competitors. maintaining a high dividend policy. maintaining a constant dividend policy even when profits decline significantly. a firm to maintain a constant dividend policy even if they frequently have to issue new shares of stock to do so.
Answer:
Maintaining a low dividend policy and rarely issuing extra dividends.
Explanation:
This cost is said to be accumulated or generated by a company when dealing new security systems or organisation into the company. This happens in a registered or legal form of absorption of the said body. And this is been applied or shown in percentages during summation or analysis.
Many factors affect flotation which ranges from the type of issued securities, their size, and risks associated with the transaction. It is generally lower than those for issuing common shares. It is shown as the issuance of common shares typically ranges from 2% to 8%.
Krisp Systems decides to move production to a developing country where they are free to pump pollutants into the atmosphere without legal restriction. By doing this, the company is contributing to:_______
a. corporate social responsibility.
b. corruption.
c. cultural relativism.
d. the global tragedy of the commons.
e. sustainability
Answer: the global tragedy of the commons
Explanation:
The tragedy of the commons is a term that is used to refer to a situation whereby resources that are held in common by everyone but owned by no one and is therefore overused by individuals which results in degradation.
Krisp Systems moves production to a developing country where they can pump pollutants into the atmosphere without any legal restriction will lead to
global tragedy of the commons. Here, the global tragedy is that Krisp system will only work in their own interest and exploit the resources at the detriment of the people which will lead to pollution.
Answer:
d. the global tragedy of the commons.
Explanation:
The tragedy of the commons is a situation that arises as a result of the selfish interest of people who exploit the shared economic resources at the expense and detriment of other users of the resources in the environment. Activities which result in Tragedy of the commons would cause pollution of the environment, excessive consumption, as well as the depletion of resources. A way to curb this sort of exploitation is by the regulation of the activities of companies by the government. This would ensure that certain limits are not overstepped.
When Krisp Systems decides to bypass this regulation by moving to a developing country where they are free to pump pollutants into the atmosphere, they are in effect contributing to the tragedy of the commons.
Oriole Distribution Co. has determined its December 31, 2020 inventory on a LIFO basis at $1007000. Information pertaining to that inventory follows: Estimated selling price $1050000 Estimated cost of disposal 43000 Normal profit margin 123000 Current replacement cost 927000 Oriole records losses that result from applying the lower-of-cost-or-market rule. At December 31, 2020, the loss that Oriole should recognize is
Answer:
At December 31, 2020, the loss that Oriole should recognize is $123,000
Explanation:
Given:
Estimated selling price = $ 1,050,000
Estimated cost of disposal = $43,000
Normal profit margin = $123,000
Current replacement cost = $927,000
Net realizable value of the inventory = Estimated selling price - Estimated cost of disposal
Net realizable value = $1,050,000 - $43,000 = $1,007,000
Replacement cost = $927,000
Net realizable value - Normal profit = $1,007,000 - $123,000 = $884,000
The replacement cost will be taken as the market value of the inventory because it is higher than the floor (net realizable value - normal profit) and lower than ceiling (net realizable value).
Cost of inventory = $1,007,000
Loss to be recognized using lower of cost or market rule = Cost - market value
= $1,007,000 - $884,000 = $123,000
Bill Casler bought a $2000, 9-month certificate of deposit (CD) that would earn 8% annual simple interest. Three months before the CD was due to mature, Bill needed his CD money, so a friend agreed to lend him money and receive the value of the CD when it matured.
Required:
a. What is the value of the CD when it matures?
b. If their agreement allowed the friend to earn a 10% annual simple interest return on his loan to Bill, how much did Bill receive from his friend
Answer:
a. What is the value of the CD when it matures?
$2,120b. If their agreement allowed the friend to earn a 10% annual simple interest return on his loan to Bill, how much did Bill receive from his friend?
$2,068.29Explanation:
interests earned by the CD = $2,000 x 8% x 9/12 = $120
the value of the CD at maturity = $2,000 (principal) + $120 (interests) = $2,120
if the friend wanted to earn 10% on the loan, that is equivalent to 10% x 3/12 = 2.5% for the 3 months
the amount of money received by Bill from his friend = CD's maturity value / (1 + expected interest) = $2,120 / (1 + 2.5%) = $2,120 / 1.025 = $2,068.29

A movie studio sells the latest movie on DVD to VideosRUs at $10 per DVD. The studio's cost of production is $1 per DVD. VideosRUs prices the videos at $19.99 to its customers. The studio offers to buy back unsold DVDs for $5. The studio must pay $.50 disposal fee for all returned DVDs. How many videos should VideosRUs order if the current sales forecast for the DVD is that demand will be normal with a mean of 10,000 and a standard deviation of 5,000
We want to find the number of DVDs that maximizes expected profit. To do this, we need to calculate the expected profit for different quantities of DVDs and choose the one that gives the highest profit. By selling 7,000 DVDs get a maximum profit.
What is the profit maximization method?To ensure the best output and price levels are realized in order to maximize returns, business firms engage in the process of profit maximization. In order to achieve its profit objectives, the company modifies important variables including sale price, production costs, and output levels.
To determine how many videos VideosRUs should order, we need to calculate the expected profit for each DVD sold.
The profit per DVD for VideosRUs can be calculated as follows:
Revenue per DVD = $19.99
Cost per DVD = $10
Profit per DVD = Revenue per DVD - Cost per DVD = $19.99 - $10 = $9.99
The studio's profit per DVD can be calculated as follows:
Revenue per DVD = $10 (the amount they sold the DVD to VideosRUs for)
Cost per DVD = $1
Profit per DVD = Revenue per DVD - Cost per DVD = $10 - $1 = $9
To calculate the probability of selling, we need to use the normal distribution with a mean of 10,000 and a standard deviation of 5,000. Since we don't know the actual demand, we can use a probability distribution to estimate the likelihood of selling different quantities of DVDs.
The required calculation is shown in the file given attached below.
Thus, selling 7000 DVDs get the highest profit.

Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of these bonds on January 1, 2017. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.) Date Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit Jan. 1 Entry field with correct answer
Answer:
Dr cash $3,332,000
Dr discount on bonds payable $68,000
Cr bonds payable $3,400,000
Explanation:
The cash proceeds from the bond issuance is 98% of the face value.
Cash proceeds=$3,400,000*98%=$3,332,000.00
This meant that the bond was issued at a discount of $ 68,000.00 ($3,400,000-$3,332,000).
In recording the bond issuance, the cash account is debited with the cash proceeds of $3,332,000 with the discount on bonds payable debited with $68,000 while bonds payable is credited with the face value of $3,400,000
You’ve borrowed $23,072 on margin to buy shares in Ixnay, which is now selling at $41.2 per share. You invest 1,120 shares. Your account starts at the initial margin requirement of 50%. The maintenance margin is 35%. Two days later, the stock price changes to $41 per share.
a) Will you receive a margin call?b) How low can the price of Disney shares fall before you receive a margin call?
Answer:
(a) Since the percentage margin is more than maintenance margin, there would be no call
(b) A margin call would be received when the price is $15.26
Explanation:
(a) Total investment = $23,072 × [tex]\frac{100}{50}[/tex] = $46,144
Total shares = Total investment ÷ share price
= $46,144 ÷ $41.2 = 1,120
Value of share in market = new price × number of shares
= $41 × 1,120
= $45,920
Value of equity = Value of share in the market - borrowed cash
= $45,920 - $23,072
= $22,848
Percentage margin = Value of equity ÷ Value of shares
= ($22,848 ÷ $45,920) × 100%
= 49.76%
(b) Total number of shares = 1,120
Assumed value of shares = $1,120X
Borrowed fund = $23,072
Value of equity = $1,120X - $23,072
Margin = Value of equity ÷ Value of shares
0.35 = ($1,120X - $23,072) ÷ $1,120X
392X = $1,120X - $23,072
1512X = $23,072
X = $15.26

A) State the total fixed cost
B) State the variable cost
C)State the price
D) Given the available data, at what quantity will Jose's Bakersfield Espresso break even?
Answer:
A. $100,000
B. $1.25 per unit
C. $3.5 per unit
D. Break even point = 44,444 units
Explanation:
Break even point denotes that level of sales at which total costs equal or even total revenues.
Contribution represents the sales revenue in excess of variable costs to cover up for fixed costs.
Break even point in units = [tex]\frac{Fixed\ Cost}{Contribution\ per\ unit}[/tex]
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution per unit = $3.50 - $1.25 = $2.25
Break even point = [tex]\frac{100,000}{2.25}[/tex] = 44,444 units approx.
An advertising expenditure approach that initially formulates the advertising goals and defines the tasks to accomplish these goals is known as a(n) _____. Group of answer choices objective approach functional approach task approach percentage sale approach
Answer:
Option C. Task Approach
Explanation:
Task approach is the approach that is based on the goals that expenditure must achieve and helps in defining what the advertising goals must be and what must be the tasks for goals accomplishment.
The advertising expenditure that is based on the sales that the expenditure must generate is percentage sale approach and it is not the case here.
Objective Approach is based on the set objectives and hence helps in designing the marketing expenditure from each aspects which is again not the case here because only advertising expenses are considered here.
The Functional Approach is the dealing of the tasks of the company by separate independent functions which performs the task which is also not the case here.

Answer:
$63,260
Explanation:
Break-even point is the level of Activity where a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.
Break even point (Dollars) = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio
Contribution Margin Ratio
Is calculated as := Contribution / Sales
= (Sales less Variable Costs) / Sales
= ($43,000+$56,000-$11,980-$14,750) / $99,000
= $72,270/$99,000
= 0.73
Break even point (Dollars) = $46,180 / 0.73
= $63,260

2b. If the company requires a simple rate of return of at least 8%, will the games be purchased?
No
Yes
Answer and Explanation:
1a. The computation of the payback period is shown below:
Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Cash inflow
where,
Initial investment is $592,000
And, the cash flow is
= Depreciation expense + net operating income
= $35,520 + $38,480
= $74,000
So, the payback period is
= $592,000 ÷ $74,000
= 8 years
1b. As we can see that the payback period is of 8 years but the given payback period is 5 years so the company should not purchased the new games
2a. The computation of the simple rate of return is shown below:
Payback period = Net operating income ÷ Initial investment
= $38,480 ÷ $592,000
= 6.5%
2b. As we can see that the simple rate of return is 6.5% but the given simple rate of return is minimum 8% so the company should not purchased the new games

Wildhorse Taxi Service uses the units-of-activity method in computing depreciation on its taxicabs. Each cab is expected to be driven 144,000 miles. Taxi 10 cost $29,000 and is expected to have a salvage value of $200. Taxi 10 was driven 31,000 miles in 2021 and 33,500 miles in 2022. Determine the depreciation cost.
Answer:
Depreciation expense/cost
For 2021 = $6200
For 2022 = $6700
Explanation:
Depreciation expense is the systematic allocation of an asset's cost over its estimated useful life. The depreciation expense is calculated using various methods. The units of activity method charges a depreciation based on the usage of the asset in a particular period as a proportion to its estimated useful life calculated in the form of total usage expected.
The formula for units of activity depreciation per period is,
Depreciation expense = [(Cost - Salvage value) / Total estimated life time activity of the asset] * Activity performed during the period
Depreciation expense-Taxi 10:
For 2021 = [(29000 - 200) / 144000] * 31000 = $6200
For 2022 = [(29000 - 200) / 144000] * 33500 = $6700
Cost of goods manufactured equals $55,000 for 2020. Finished goods inventory is $2,000 at the beginning of the year and $5,500 at the end of the year. Beginning and ending work in process for 2020 are $4,000 and $5,000, respectively. How much is cost of goods sold for the year?
Answer:
$51,500
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold for the year is shown below:
As we know that
Cost of Goods Sold = Beginning balance of Finished Goods Inventory + Cost of Goods Manufactured – Ending balance of Finished Goods Inventory
= $2,000 + $55,000 - $5,500
= $51,500
We simply applied the cost of goods sold formula by taking the three items into the computation part
Wells, Inc., has identified an investment project with the following cash flows. Year Cash Flow 1 $ 1,000 2 1,230 3 1,450 4 2,190 a. If the discount rate is 9 percent, what is the future value of these cash flows in Year 4
Answer:
Total= $7,114.32
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash Flow:
1 $ 1,000
2 1,230
3 1,450
4 2,190
Discount rate= 9%
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
Cf1= 1,000*1.09^4= 1,411.58
Cf2= 1,230*1.09^3= 1,592.89
Cf3= 1,450*1.09^2= 1,722.75
Cf4= 2,190*1.09= 2,387.1
Total= $7,114.32

Answer: the answer is given below
Explanation:
It should be noted that the account receivable ending balance was calculated as:
Credit sales = 156,000
Less: collection of account= 132,300
Less: written off = 6,300
= 17,400
The bad debt expense was calculated as:
= (17,400 × 10%) + 6300
= (17400 × 0.1) + 6300
= 1740 + 6300
= 8040
