The text states, "Over sufficiently long time periods, net income equals cash inflows minus cash outflows, other than cash flows with owners." Demonstrate the accuracy of this statement in the following scenario: Two friends contributed $50,000 each to form a new business. The owners used the amounts contributed to purchase a machine for $100,000 cash. They estimated that the useful life of the machine was five years and the salvage value was $20,000. They rented out the machine to a customer for an annual rental of $25,000 a year for five years. Annual cash operating costs for insurance, taxes, and other items totaled $6,000 annually. At the end of the fifth year, the owners sold the equipment for $22,000, instead of the $20,000 salvage value initially estimated. (Hint: Compute the total net income and the total cash flows other than cash flows with owners for the five-year period as a whole.)

Explanation:
As discussed in the case and the text, W. L. Gore and Zappos adopted new organizational structures during periods of growth. In general, most firms follow a predictable pattern of structural change. Which of the following best exemplifies this pattern?
a. Simple to functional to multidivisional structures
b. Ambidextrous to functional to matrix structures
c. Functional to simple to matrix structures
d. Global to functional to multidivisional structures
e. Simple to matrix to functional structures
Answer: a. Simple to functional to multidivisional structures
Explanation:
An Organisational structure refers to how tasks flow in a company to enable them to achieve their goals.
As a company grows, they tend to go through different types of structures which fit their size and enable them to reach their goals better.
They generally start with the Simple Structure which is very common in smaller businesses. Here most decisions are centred on the owner. The owner as the proprietor is in charge of coming up with basically everything to push the business forward.
As the company grows they switch to a Functional Structure. This is when the company will be structured by function to enable better specialization and divisions of labour. Examples of separation by function include, IT Department, Marketing Department, Production Department etc.
If the growth continues the company finds it best to specialize even more and this is when Multidivisional Structures kick in. In a Multidivisonal Structure, the company divides itself into different divisions while maintaining a parent company. The Divisions are fairly independent and pursue different goals and products but all under the direction of the parent company. An example is Google splitting into divisions with Alphabet Inc being the Parent Company and Divisions such as Google, Calico, Deepmind and Waymo being created.

Answer:
Sheridan Company
Adjusting Entries for Trading Investments at Fair Value:
December 31, 2020:
Debit Investment in Muninger $333
Credit Gain on Investment $333
To record the $1 per share gain on investment (500 - 167 shares).
Debit Loss on Investment $700
Credit Investment in Tatma $700
To record the $1 per share loss on investment (700 shares).
Explanation:
Investments held for trading are short-term investments in debt and stock securities. They are accounted for at fair value.
This implies that at the end of each reporting period, the difference between the book value of the investment and the fair value is adjusted either as gain or loss on investment. This adjusting entry increases or reduces the book value of the investment to its fair value. The gain or loss remains an unrealized gain or loss until the investment is sold.
Sheridan Company uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 485 units that cost $66 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 725 units at $69 each and 364 units at $71 each. Sheridan Company also sold 1198 units during the month. Using the average cost method, what is the amount of ending inventory? (Round average cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 21.48.)
Answer:
Value of closing inventory = $25771.04
Explanation:
To calculate the value of ending inventory under a periodic average cost method, we will calculate the average price per unit of inventory at the end of the month. To calculate the average price per unit, we simply divide the total cost of the inventory by the total number of units for the month.
Average cost per unit = Total cost of all units for the month / Total units available for the month
Total cost of all units:
Beginning inventory (485 * 66) 32010
Purchase 1 (725 * 69) 50025
Purchase 2 (364 * 71) 25844
Total 107879
Total Units
Beginning Inventory 485
Purchase 1 725
Purchase 2 364
Total 1574
Average cost per unit = 107879 / 1574
Average cost per unit = $68.54
Units of closing inventory = 1574 - 1198 = 376 units
Value of closing inventory = 376 * 68.54
Value of closing inventory = $25771.04

An insured states her age as 40 on the application. When she dies, the insurer discovers that she was actually only 37 at the time of application. What will the insurance company do?
a) pays nothing since there was a material misrepresentation on the application
b) pays the death benefit in the amount that the premium at the correct age would have purchased
c) pays a decreased death benefit
d) adjust premiums to reflex correct age
Answer: pays the death benefit in the amount that the premium at the correct age would have purchased
Explanation:
According to the question, an insured states her age as 40 on the application and upon her death, the insurer discovers that the insured was 37 at the time of application.
The right thing for the insurance company to do is to pay the death benefit which in entitled to the insured in the amount which the premium at the correct age would have been bought. If insured overstates his or her age, the insurer will have to pay the full death benefit and then refund excess premiums paid.

A consumer has $130 in monthly income to be spent on two goods Z and B. The price of good Z (Pz) is $8.00. The Marginal Rate of Transformation (MRT) is equal to minus−2. That is 2 units of good B can be traded for 1 unit of good Z. What is the price of good B in $?
Answer:
Price of B is $4
Explanation:
Marginal rate of transformation is defined as the amount of a good x has to stop being produced inorder to produce a certain amount of a good y. Factors of production and technology used are assumed to be constant.
In this scenario the marginal rate of transformation is -2, that is 2 units of good B can be traded for 1 unit of good Z, mathematically
2 * Pb = Pz
Substitute price of Z
2* Pb = $8
Pb= 8 ÷ 2
On= $4
You would like to combine a risky stock with a beta of 1.87 with U.S. Treasury bills in such a way that the risk level of the portfolio is equivalent to the risk level of the overall market. What percentage of the portfolio should be invested in the risky stock
Answer:
46.5%
Explanation:
The treasury bills have zero beta as they have no systematic risk. Beta is used in the Capital asset pricing Model to demonstrate a relationship between systematic risk and rate of return.
Expected Return = Rf + Beta * Rp
The percentage that should be invested in the risky portfolio will be,
1 - 1 / Beta
1 - 1 / 1.87
= 46.5%
Pearson Motors has a target capital structure of 45% debt and 55% common equity, with no preferred stock. The yield to maturity on the company's outstanding bonds is 10%, and its tax rate is 40%. Pearson's CFO estimates that the company's WACC is 14.50%. What is Pearson's cost of common equity
Answer:
21.45%
Explanation:
Pearson motors has a target capital structure of 45% debt and 55% common equity
The yield to maturity is 10%
Tax rate is 40%
WACC is 14.50%
First of all we have to find the tax cost of debt
Tax cost of debt= Yield to maturity×(1-tax rate)
= 8×(1-25/100)
= 8×(1-0.25)
= 8×0.75
= 6%
The next step is to calculate the common equity
Therefore, the common equity can be calculated as follows
WACC= Respective cost×Respective weight
14.50= (6×0.45)+(0.55×common equity)
14.50= 2.7+(0.55×common equity)
14.50-2.7= (0.55×common equity)
11.8= (0.55×common equity)
Common equity= 11.8/0.55
Common equity= 21.45%
Hence Pearson's cost of common equity is 21.45%

A store sells 20 ice cream bars per hour for $4 each, but on discount days, it sells 35 ice cream bars per hour for $3. Based on these two data points, what would be the slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold?
Answer:
The slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold would be of -1/15
Explanation:
In order to calculate the slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold we would have to calculate the following formula:
Slope= change in yaxis( vertical)/change in xaxis(horizontal)
Slope= change in price/change in quantity demand
Slope=P2-P1/Q2-Q1
Slope=3-4/35-20
Slope=-1/15
The slope for the relationship between the price and the quantity of ice cream sold would be of -1/15

Which of the following statements regarding changes in accounting principles is not true? Most changes in accounting principles are retroactively reported. Most changes in accounting principles are only reported in current periods when the principle change takes place. Changes in accounting principles are allowed when new principles are preferable to old ones. Consistency is one of the biggest concerns when a change in accounting principle is undertaken.
Answer:
Most changes in accounting principles are only reported in current periods when the principle change takes place.
Explanation:
Accounting principle can be defined as a general guideline to be followed by accountants or financial institutions when they record and report their financial transactions.
A change in an accounting principle involves a change in an accounting method used.
For instance, an accountant switching between First In, First Out (FIFO) to Last In, First Out (LIFO) method of inventory valuation or by using another depreciation method.
Additionally, an accounting principle should only be changed, if it's applicable to the accounting framework being used such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Also, it is important to state in the footnotes of the financial statements a full disclosure to highlight the justification for the preferred change and financial implications of this change.
The following are true about the change in accounting principles;
1. Most changes in accounting principles are retroactively reported.
2. Changes in accounting principles are allowed when new principles are preferable to old ones.
3. Consistency is one of the biggest concerns when a change in accounting principle is undertaken.
Managers involved in negotiation should:__________.
1. Search for the absolute best answer.
2. Exercise premature judgment.
3. Realize that solving the other party's problem is actually the other party's problem.
4. Verify whether there is only a fixed set of alternatives.
Which of the following phenomena would be most likely to occur if the project team did not have clear and commonly understood project goals?
1. The level of trust among team members would increase.
2. The motivation level of team members would increase.
3. The interdependency among team members would increase.
4. Conflict among team members would increase.
Answer:
For question (1): 4. Verify whether there is only a fixed set of alternatives.
For question (2): 4. Conflict among team members would increase.
Explanation:
Managers involved in negotiation should always verify whether there is only a fixed set of alternatives.
It is ideal that when managers are making a negotiation and by extension decision-making, they should ensure there are one or more alternative options. A fixed set of alternatives would only mean they're absolutely liable to the other party, without any reasonable benefits to their organization in the event of a crisis with the deal.
Conflict among team members would increase if the project team did not have clear and commonly understood project goals.
As a rule and standard, it is necessary to ensure that team members share common understanding, aims, ideas and vision in order to achieve their project goals and objectives.
When team members are in sync, they're bound to collaborate and use collective intelligence to attain success.
Hence, to increase the level of trust, motivation level, and interdependency among team members, project managers should ensure they've clear and commonly understood project goals.
A clothing manufacturer produces clothing in five locations in the United States. In a move to vertical integration, the company is planning a new fabric production plant that will supply fabric to all five clothing plants. The clothing plants have been located on a coordinate system as follows: Location (X,Y) A 7,2 B 4,7 C 5,5 D 6,2 E 8,4 If the amount of fabric shipped to each plant are equal, what is the optimal location for the fabric plant?
Answer:
(6,4)
Explanation:
The computation of optimal location for the fabric plant is shown below:-
X Y
A 7 2
B 4 7
C 5 5
D 6 2
E 8 4
Total 30 20
[tex]\bar X = \frac{Total\ of\ X}{Total\ number\ of\ locations}[/tex]
[tex]\bar X = \frac{30}{5}[/tex]
= 6
[tex]\bar Y = \frac{Total\ of\ Y}{Total\ number\ of\ locations}[/tex]
[tex]\bar Y = \frac{20}{5}[/tex]
= 4
So, the optimal location for the fabric plant is (6,4)

A. Calculate the time-weighted geometric average return on this "portfolio."
B. Calculate the time-weighted arithmetic average return on this portfolio.
C. Calculate the dollar-weighted average return on this portfolio.
Answer:
a. The Geometric average return is 1.72%
b. The Arithmetic average return is 1.75%
c. The Dollar weighted average return is 2.61%
Explanation:
a) In order to calculate the time-weighted geometric average return we would have to calculate first the Holding period return as follows:
Holding period return = (200 - 190) / 190 = 5.263%
Hence, Geometric average return = (1 + .05263)^(1/3) - 1 = 1.72%
b) To calculate time-weighted arithmetic average return we have to make the following calculation:
Arithmetic average return = 5.263% / 3 = 1.75%
c) To calculate time-weighted arithmetic average return we would have to make the following calculation:
Dollar weighted average return=-190*3 + 200/(1+r) + 200/(1+r)^2 + 200 / (1+r)^3 = 0
= 2.61%

Henry Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the company estimated the machine-hours for the upcoming year at 20,000 machine-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $9 per machine-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $600,000. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:__________
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $39 per machine hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated machine-hours= 20,000
The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $9 per machine-hour.
The estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $600,000.
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (600,000/20,000) + 9
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $39 per machine hour
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. If a company follows a policy of "matching maturities," this means that it matches its use of short-term debt with its use of long-term debt. b.

Net working capital is defined as current assets minus the sum of payables and accruals, and any increase in the current ratio automatically indicates that net working capital has increased.
Answer: d. Although short-term interest rates have historically averaged less than long-term rates, the heavy use of short-term debt is considered to be an aggressive strategy because of the inherent risks associated with using short-term financing.
Explanation:
Using short term financing is generally considered to be an aggressive strategy and is more often than not frowned upon by investors.
This is because of the reputational risk involved. A company that keeps using short term financing gives off the impression that it is barely keeping afloat and therefore relying on short term loans to continue functioning.
Other risks involved include, short term loans are usually given in small quantities so they cannot be used effectively as they will bareky go anywhere in terms of investment and their payback installment schedule can be in weeks instead of months like long term financing which can be detrimental to survival.
This is as opposed to a Conservative Approach that uses long term financing to finance most of it's Working Capital.
