Answer: 20%
Explanation:
Municipal Bonds are generally not taxed so if you invest in the Municipal bond, the tax rate does not affect you.
The tax rate therefore that will make you indifferent between the 2 options is the one that will take the Corporate bond returns of Jefferson to 8% so that both bonds may give you the same return after tax.
Assuming that tax rate is 'x' then,
8 = 10 (1 - x)
8 = 10 - 10x
10x = 10 - 8
10x = 2
x = 20%
At a tax rate of 20%, the Corporate bonds give an 8% return.

Answer:
Direct material price variance= $1,638 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials 7.7 ounces $ 2.00 per ounce $ 15.40
Purchases of raw materials 23,400 ounces
Actual cost of raw materials purchases $ 45,100
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= 45,100/23,400= $1.93
Direct material price variance= (2 - 1.93)*23,400
Direct material price variance= $1,638 favorable

Compute the following liquidity ratios for Coca-Cola and for PepsiCo. (Round current ratio to 2 decimal places, e.g. 6.25 and all other answers to 1 decimal place, e.g. 15.1.)
Coca-Cola PepsiCo
(1) Current ratio : 1 : 1
(2) Accounts receivable turnover times times
(3) Average collection period days days
(4) Inventory turnover times times
(5) Days in inventory days days
Answer:
Please find the detailed answer in the explanation section.
Explanation:
1. Current ratio = total current assets ÷ total current liabilities
For Coca-cola: $17,551 ÷ 13,721
= 1.28
For Pepsi : $12,571 ÷ $8,756
= 1.44
2.Accounts receivable turnover times times = Net sales ÷ average (net) accounts receivable
For Coca-cola: $30,990 ÷ $3,424
= 9.1
For Pepsi : $43,232 ÷ $4,654
= 9.3
3. Average collection period days days = (Accounts Receivable ÷ Net sales ) x 365 days
For coca-cola: ($3,424 ÷ 30,990) x 365 days
=40.3 days
For pepsi: ($4,654 ÷ $43,232) x 365 days
= 39.3 days
4. Inventory turnover times = Sales ÷ Inventory
For Coca-cola: $30,990 ÷ $2,271
=13.6
For Pepsi: $43,232 ÷ $2,570
=16.8
5.Days in inventory days = (Average Inventory ÷ Cost of sales) x 365 days
For Coca-cola: ($2,271 ÷ $11,088 ) x365 days
=74.8 days
For Pepsi: ($2,570 ÷ $20,099 ) x365 days
=46.7days
If Home Depot was correct in that it was not discriminating, but simply filling positions consistent with those who applied for them (and very few women were applying for customer service positions), given your reading of this chapter, was the firm guilty of discrimination? If so, under what theory?
Answer:
Yes and the theory is stereotyping
Explanation:
In a workplace women are subjected to gender stereotyping.
Stereotyping is when there is a wrong belief or idea about people based on they look on the outside.
Most times this is a wrong belief or partially true. It is a form of prejudice because how the person is on the outside is not a true definition of who they are.
In this scenario women are made to feel they were not on the same level as male counterparts during promotions, hiring, and payment.
This prejudice was explained by home Depot to be based on experience. They said most women had experience as cashiers so the could only fill roles like cashier, customer care, and clerk
Consider the following production and cost data for two products, L and C: Product L Product C Contribution margin per unit $24 $18 Machine-hours needed per unit 3 hours 2 hours The company can only perform 14,200 machine hours each period, due to limited skilled labor and there is unlimited demand for each product. What is the largest possible total contribution margin that can be realized each period?
Answer:
Largest possible total contribution margin = $127,800
Explanation:
Whenever a company is faced with a limiting factor i.e a resource in short supply, the company should allocate the resource to the product with he highest contribution per unit of the scare resource
The highest contribution from the 4,200 machine hours could be determined as follows:
Step 1 : Contribution per hour
Contribution per machine hour = contribution per unit/ machine hour
Product L Product C
$ $
Contribution 24 18
Machine hour 3 2
Contribution per hour 8/ hr 9/hr
Ranking 2nd 1st
Product C would be produced using the entire machine hours. Doing so would generate the highest contribution possible.
Contribution = contribution per hour × machine hours
= 9 × 14,200 = $127,800
Largest possible total contribution margin = $127,800
A jewelry firm buys semiprecious stones to make bracelets and rings. The supplier quotes a price of $8.20 per stone for quantities of 600 stones or more, $8.60 per stone for orders of 400 to 599 stones, and $9.10 per stone for lesser quantities. The jewelry firm operates 101 days per year. Usage rate is 19 stones per day, and ordering costs are $39. a. If carrying costs are $2 per year for each stone, find the order quantity that will minimize total annual cost. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.) Order quantity stones b. If annual carrying costs are 21 percent of unit cost, what is the optimal order size
Answer:
a. 274
b. 295
Explanation:
a. Optimum Order
Optimum Order = √( (2×Total Annual Demand×Ordering cost per order) / Holding Cost per unit)
= √ ((2×101×19×$39) / $2)
= 273.57
= 274
b. Optimum Order
Optimum Order = √( (2×Total Annual Demand×Ordering cost per order) / Holding Cost per unit)
= √ ((2×101×19×$39) / $8.20 ×0.21)
= 294.83
= 295
At the beginning of a semester, a group of five students (Marcus, Gerard, Penelope, Zendaya, and Duane) are asked to order a snack that the teacher will deliver to the students free of charge before the first class of the tenth week of the semester. The three choices are an apple, a banana, or a Snickers candy bar. The teacher collects the orders and finds that two students have ordered an apple, two students have ordered a banana, and one student has ordered a Snickers candy bar. The four students who ordered either an apple or a banana cite health consciousness as the reason for their choice. Immediately before the orders are scheduled to be delivered, the teacher informs the students that they can switch their choice and order something else from the original menu if they wish, or they can receive what they originally ordered. Which of the following scenarios is the best example of inconsistent intertemporal decision-making?A. Gerard ordered a banana and switched to an apple when prompted.
B. Duane ordered a Snickers candy bar and did not change his choice when prompted.
C. Penelope ordered an apple and switched to a banana when prompted.

Mcleod, Inc. incurred fixed costs of $ 400 comma 000. Total costs, both fixed and variable, are $ 450 comma 000 when 59 comma 000 units are produced. It sold 30 comma 000 units during the year. Calculate the variable cost per unit. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
Unitary variable cost= $1.72
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Mcleod, Inc. incurred fixed costs of $400,000.
Total costs= $450,000
Units produced= 59,000
First, we need to calculate the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= total cost - total fixed cost
Total variable cost= 450,000 - 400,000
Total variable cost= 50,000
Now, the unitary variable cost:
unitary variable cost= 50,000/29,000
unitary variable cost= $1.72

According to the Fair Value framework and to the lecture, what should companies try to do?
a. Offer fair value on all three bundles.
b. Offer better than fair value on all three bundles.
c. Offer fair value on two bundles and offer better than fair value on the other bundle.
Answer:
c. Offer fair value on two bundles and offer better than fair value on the other bundle
Explanation:
According to the Fair Value framework companies should try to Offer fair value on two bundles and as well try to offer better than fair value on the other bundle which simply means that in a situation where their are two bundles companies should tend to offer fair value on them and they should as well offer something that is far better than fair value on other bundle.
Therefore Fair value can be seen as an estimated price in which either asset or liability can be sold out or settled to a third party under recent and current market conditions.
An economy consists of three workers: Rajiv, Yakov, and Charles. Each works 10 hours a day and can produce two services: mowing lawns and washing cars. In an hour, Rajiv can either mow 2 lawns or wash 1 car; Yakov can either mow 1 lawn or wash 1 car; and Charles can either mow 1 lawn or wash 2 cars. For each of the scenarios listed in the following table, determine how many lawns will be mowed and how many cars will be washed per day and enter these values into the corresponding row Scenario Lawns Mowed Cars Washed All three spend all their time mowing lawns.
(A) All three spend all their time washing cars
(B) All three spend half their time on each activity.
(C) Rajiv spends half his time on each activity, while Yakov only washes cars and Charles only mows lawns.
(D) Identify the opportunity cost of washing cars for each worker. Worker Opportunity Cost of Washing Cars Yakov Charles
Answer:
(A) All three spend all their time washing cars
In 10 hours Rajiv will wash 10 cars, because he can wash 1 car per hour.
Yakov will also wash 10 cars because he can wash 1 car per hour.
And, Charles will wash 20 cars because he can wash 2 cars per hour.
(B) All three spend half their time on each activity.
In 5 hours, Rajiv will mow 10 lawns, and wash 5 cars.
Yakov will mow 5 lawns and wash 5 cars.
And Chalres will mow 5 lawns and wash 10 cars.
(C) Rajiv spends half his time on each activity, while Yakov only washes cars and Charles only mows lawns.
Rajiv will mow 10 lawns and wash 10 cars.
Yakov will wash 10 cars.
And Charles will mow 10 lawns.
(D) Identify the opportunity cost of washing cars for each worker.
For Rajiv, the opportunity cost of washing 1 car is not mowing 2 lawns.
For Yakov, the opportunity cost is not mowing 1 lawn.
For Charles, the opportunity cost is not mowing half a lawn.
Baker Industries’ net income is $26,000, its interest expense is $6,000, and its tax rate is 45%. Its notes payable equals $23,000, long-term debt equals $70,000, and common equity equals $260,000. The firm finances with only debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock. What are the firm’s ROE and ROIC? Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
ROI=10%
ROIC=0.83
Explanation:
Net Income = $26,000
Interest expense = $6,000
Tax rate = 45%
Payable = $23,000
Long-term debt = $70,000
Common equity = $260,000
1. ROE = Net Income / Common equity
= 26,000 / 260,000
=0.1
=10%
2. ROIC = EBIT * (1-Tax rate) / Invested capital
EBIT = Net Income before tax + Interest
Net Income before tax = (Net income * 100) / (100-Tax rate)
Net Income before tax = 26000 * 100 / 100-45
=2600000 / 55
Net Income before tax = 47272.72
EBIT = 47272.72 + 6,000
=53272.72
Invested Capital = Note payable + Long term debt.+ Common Equity
=23000 +70000 +260000
=$353,000
Therefore ROIC = EBIT * (1-Tax rate) / Invested capital
ROIC= 53272.72 * (1-0.45) / 353,000
=53272.72*0.55 / 353,000
=292299.996/353,000
=0.8280
=0.83
ROIC= 0.83
Lucido Products markets two computer games: Claimjumper and Makeover. A contribution format income statement for a recent month for the two games appears below: Claimjumper Makeover Total Sales $ 116,000 $ 58,000 $ 174,000 Variable expenses 35,800 7,700 43,500 Contribution margin $ 80,200 $ 50,300 130,500 Fixed expenses 83,250 Net operating income $ 47,250 Required: 1. What is the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company? 2. What is the company's overall break-even point in dollar sales? 3. Prepare a contribution format income statement at the company's break-even point that shows the appropriate levels of sales for the two products.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Claimjumper Makeover
Total Sales:
Claimjumper= $116,000
Makeover= $58,000
Total= $174,000
Variable expenses:
Claimjumper= $35,800
Makeover= $7,700
Total= $43,500
Contribution margin:
Claimjumper= $80,200
Makeover= $50,300
Total= $130,500
Fixed expenses 83,250
Sales proportion:
Claimjumper= 116,000/174,000= 0.67
Makeover= 58,000/174,000= 0.33
Variable cost proportion:
Claimjumper= 35,800/43,500= 0.82
Makeover= 7,700/43,500= 0.18
First, we need to calculate the contribution margin ratio for the company:
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)/ weighted average selling price
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 130,500/174,000
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.75
Now, we can calculate the break-even point in dollars:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ Weighted average contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 83,250/0.75
Break-even point (dollars)= $111,000
Finally, we structure the income statement:
Sales= 111,000
Total variable costs= (111,000*0.25)= (27,750)
Income statement:
Sales:
Claimjumper= 111,000*0.67= 74,370
Makeover= 111,000*0.33= 36,630
Variable costs:
Claimjumper= 27,750*0.82= (22,755)
Makeover= 27,750*0.18= (4,995)
Contribution margin= 83,250
Fixed costs= 83,250
Net operating income= 0
Find the mean, median and mode for the above set of data
Answer:
a. Mean = 35.2 ≈ 35
b. Median = 35.6 ≈ 36
c. Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37
Step-by-step Explanation:
==>Given:
Class of ages in yrs
No. of cases of each class = f
Midpoint of each class = x
Product of midpoint and no. of cases of each class = fx
==>Required:
a. Mean
b. Median
c. Mode
==>SOLUTION:
a. Mean = (Σfx)/Σf
Σf = sum of no. of cases = 5+10+20+22+13+5 = 75
Σfx = 47.5+195+590+869+643.5+297.5 = 2,642.5
Mean = 2,642.5/75 = 35.2 ≈ 35
b. Median = Lm + [((Σf/2) - Cfb)/fm]Cw
Our median is between the 37th and the 38th term, which can be found in the class interval 35-44. This is our median class.
Lm = Lower class boundary of the median class = lower limit of the Medina class + upper limit of the class before the median class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5
Σf/2 = 75/2 = 37.5
Cfb = Cumulative frequency of class before the median class = 5+10+20 = 35
fm = frequency of the Medina class = 22
Cw = Class width = upper class boundary - lower class boundary = 44.5-34.5 = 10
Median = 34.5 + [(37.5-35)/22] × 10
= 34.5 + [2.5/22] × 10
= 34.5 + [25/22]
= 34.5 + 1.1
= 35.6 ≈ 36
c. Mode = Lm + [∆¹/(∆¹+∆²)]Cw
Modal class = (35-44) [i.e. the class with the highest frequency, which is where our mode falls in]
Lm = lower class boundary of the modal class = lower limit of the modal class + upper limit of the class before the modal class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5
∆¹ = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class before the modal class = 22 - 20 = 2
∆² = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class after the modal class = 22 - 13 = 9
Cw == Upper class boundary - Lower class boundary = 44.5 - 34.5 = 10
Mode = 34.5 + [2/(2+9)] × 10
= 34.5 + [2/11] × 10
= 34.5 + [20/11]
= 34.5 + 1.8
Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37
When Sandra and Charles Givens were divorced, the court ordered a division of property and awarded Sandra $65,000. The award was a judgment against Charles, who failed to pay it. Sandra asked the court to find Charles in contempt. Their lawyers had a conference with the judge, and they agreed that Charles would pay $2500 immediately and $300 per month until the judgment was paid in full. Charles alleged that the new payment schedule was a binding contract, because Sandra had accepted his offer of payments. Was it a contract
Answer:
Yes, it is a binding contract.
Explanation:
A contract is a legal binding agreement between two or more parties at the court of law. The agreement could be in terms of money, services, right or duties between the parties involved.
Since a consent has been reached between the two parties before the judge, Charles would pay the sum in the stipulated manner. The acceptance of the offer of payment by Sandra made it a binding contract for Charles, so he is bound by this service until he pays the full amount to Sandra.
The Model E extender fits with the 2 inch heavy duty hitches.The contract calls for 247 Model E extenders per week to be delivered in equal installments over the 16 weeks of the contract. The goal of Alpha Assemblies is to work 40 hours per week. The actual work time for completing the Model E extenders has been broken down by process in the table below. Also provided is the anticipated learning rate for each process. All processes must be performed in sequence and each step has its own separate and unique workcenter. To achieve the goal of working 40 hours per week or less, the cycle time must be lower than the takt time. What is the expected Cycle Time for Model E in Week 16? Note: learning is applied to the batch quantity per week. Do not try to break out the units within a week.Process Time Required per Unit Predecessor Task Learning RateA 9 82B 12 A 86C 18 B 81D 9 C 90E 12 D 80F 17 E 88G 14 F 83H 12 G 85I 8 H 82
Answer:
Cycle Time = 10.19482 minute
Explanation:
From the question :
The Model E can be illustrated perfectly as shown below:

E 12 D 80
F 17 E 88
G 14 F 83
H 12 G 85
I 8 H 82
Now For the minutes per week for each Process; we have :
Process Time Required Predecessor Learning Minutes
per Unit Task Rate (Week 16)
A 9 82 4.069096
B 12 A 86 6.564098
C 18 B 81 7.74841
D 9 C 90 5.9049
E 12 D 80 4.9152
F 17 E 88 10.19482
G 14 F 83 6.644165
H 12 G 85 6.264075
I 8 H 82 3.616974
The objective here is to determine the expected Cycle Time for Model E in Week 16
So, we can equally regard the Cycle Time = Bottleneck of Activity for Week 16.
Cycle Time = 10.19482 minute in as much as it is the the largest activity time for the week 16
Given that the demand per week is : = 247
The available time per week = 40 hours = 40 × 60 hours = 2400 minutes
Talk Time = Available Time Per Week/Demand Per Week
Talk Time = 2400/247
Talk Time = 9.716599
Thus; here the cycle time is greater than the talk time.
esterday, Berryman Investments was selling for $50 per share. Today, the company completed a 7-for-2 stock split. If the total market value was unchanged by the split, what is the price of the stock today? Select the correct answer. a. $15.59 b. $12.99 c. $14.29 d. $16.89 e. $11.69
Answer:
The correct option is C, $14.29
Explanation:
A 7-2 stock split means that 7 shares now have the value of 2 shares held previously.
This simply means that a stockholder who had 2 shares before the stock split now has 7 shares.
The price of the share after the stock split the value of 2 shares before stock split divided by 7 shares i.e ($50*2)/7=$ 14.29
The correct option from the multiple choices is $ 14.29
Morgana Company identifies three activities in its manufacturing process: machine setups, machining, and inspections. Estimated annual overhead cost for each activity is $150,000, $375,000, and $87,500, respectively. The cost driver for each activity and the expected annual usage are number of setups 2,500, machine hours 25,000, and number of inspections 1,750.
Compute the overhead rate for each activity.
Machine setups $ per setup
Machining $ per machine hour
Inspections $ per inspection
Answer:
Machine setup= $60 per setup
Machining= $15 per machine hour
Inspections= $50 per inspection
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead costs:
Machine setup= 150,000
Machining= 375,000
Inspections= 87,500
The cost driver for each activity and the expected annual usage are number of setups 2,500, machine hours 25,000, and number of inspections 1,750.
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
Machine setup= 150,000/2,500= $60 per setup
Machining= 375,000/25,000= $15 per machine hour
Inspections= 87,500/1,750= $50 per inspection
Evans Ltd. is now considering the possibility of offering a lifetime membership option to its subscribers. Under this proposal, subscribers could receive the monthly newsletter throughout their lives by paying a flat fee of $480. The one-year subscription rate of $40 would continue to apply to new and existing subscribers who choose to subscribe on an annual basis. Assume that the average age of Evans Ltd.'s current subscribers is 38 and their average life expectancy is 78 years. Evans Ltd.'s average interest rate on long-term debt is 12%.
Using the information given, calculate the present value of a lifetime membership for an average. (Round PV factors to 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: $329.75
Explanation:
The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,
= 78 - 38
= 40 years
Evans Ltd average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.
I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.
The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.
The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,
= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)
= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)
= $329.752
= $329.75
This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.
Granger Company had January 1 inventory of $150,000 when it adopted dollar-value LIFO. During the year, purchases were $900,000 and sales were $1,500,000. December 31 inventory at year-end prices was $189,750, and the price index was 110. What is Granger Company’s gross profit?
Answer:
$624, 750
Explanation:
Purchases = 900,000
Sales = 1500000
Price index = 110%
Inventory= 189750
1,500,000 - [{($150,000 x 110%) + $900,000} - $189,750]
=1,500,000 - [($150,000 x 1.1) + $900,000] - $189,750
= 1,500,000 - (1065000 - 189750)
= 1,500,000 - 875250
=$624,750
Gross profit. = $624750

The following information ($ in millions) comes from a recent annual report of Amazon, Inc.:
Net sales $10,722
Total assets 4,417
End of year balance in cash 1,104
Total stockholders' equity 503
Gross profit (Sales - Cost of Sales). 2,458
Net increase in cash for the year 19
Operating expenses 2,062
Net operating cash flow 772
Other income (expense), net (30)
a. Compute Amazon's balance in cash at the beginning of the year.b. Compute Amazon's total liabilities at the end of the year.c. Compute cost of goods sold for the year.d. Compute the income before income tax for Amazon.
Answer:
(a) Amazon's balance in cash at the beginning of the year is $1,085 million
(b) Amazon's total liabilities at the end of the year is $3,914 million
(c) Cost of goods sold for the year is $8,264 million
(d) Income before income tax for Amazon is $366 million
Explanation:
(a) Beginning cash balance = Ending cash balance - net increase in cash for the year
= $1,104 million - $19 million
= $1,085 million
(b) Total assets = Total liabilities + Total stockholders' equity
$4,417 million = Total liabilities + $503 million
Total liabilities = ($4,417 - $503) million
= $3,914 million
(c) Cost of goods sold = net sales - gross profit
= $10,722 million - $2,458 million
= $8,264 million
(d) Income before income tax = Gross profit - operating expenses - other expenses
= $2,458 million - $2,062 million - $30 million
= $ 366 million
Home Corporation will open a new store on January 1. Based on experience from its other retail outlets, Home Corporation is making the following sales projections: Cash Sales Credit Sales January $60,000 $40,000 February $30,000 $50,000 March $40,000 $60,000 April $40,000 $80,000 Home Corporation estimates that 70% of the credit sales will be collected in the month following the month of sale, with the balance collected in the second month following the month of sale. In a cash budget for April, the total cash receipts will be:
Answer:
$97,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total cash receipts for the month of April is shown below:
= Cash sales in April + (Credit sales in February × following second month percentage) + (Credit sales in March x following month percentage)
= $40,000 + ($50,000 x 30%) + ($60,000 x 70%)
= $40,000 + $15,000 + $42,000
= $97,000
We simply added the cash sales for one month and the credit sales for two months so that the total cash receipts could come
Using the table below, select "X" in the column that corresponds to the type of activity level referred to in each scenario.
Unit Batch Product Customer Organizational
A. Setting up a machine for a production run of 500 units.
B. Conducting a seminar for local doctors on the benefits of a new drug.
C. Embossing a company logo on every product made.
D. Seating a party of 11 at a restaurant.
E. Providing technical support for two years following a sale.
F. Managing a corporation's accounting department.
G. Attaching a price tag to each product.
H. Issuing an invoice.
I. Developing a corporate advertising campaign.
J. Recalling a defective product.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
The question seeks to find out the activity level of the above mentioned activities.
There are various activities in an organization and as such they need to be categorized. The various categories include Unit, Batch, Product, Customer, and Organizational.
Unit Activities refer to activities done on a unit level. A singular product level. They include things like putting a logo on a bottle or deriving a single person at a restaurant.
Batch Activities refer to activities done when Units are grouped together and form a batch. Activities done to that batch fall under here.
Product Level Activities refer to those done on a product wide scale. That means that when the entire product is affected, it falls under here. Examples include Product Advertising or Recall.
Customer Level Activities refer to those that an organization engages in for those entities that patronize them. Such activities are very important because the customer is the most important aspect of the business.
Then there are the Organizational level Activities. As the name implies, these are activities at an Organization wide level.
Classifying the above therefore,
A. Setting up a machine for a production run of 500 units. BATCH LEVEL ACTIVITY.
This deals with a group of units, 500 to be precise and so is a batch level activity.
B. Conducting a seminar for local doctors on the benefits of a new drug. PRODUCT LEVEL.
This seminar will speak on the product being the drug as a whole therefore it is product level.
C. Embossing a company logo on every product made. UNIT LEVEL.
This involves an individual unit at a time and so is at Unit Level.
D. Seating a party of 11 at a restaurant. BATCH LEVEL.
The 11 people to be served are individual units that have now been grouped together into one batch so is a Batch Level Activity.
E. Providing technical support for two years following a sale. CUSTOMER LEVEL ACTIVITY.
This is about providing help to the company's customers so it falls under Customer Level Activities.
F. Managing a corporation's accounting department. ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL ACTIVITY.
This involves the Corporation's entire accounting department and so is Organizational level.
G. Attaching a price tag to each product. UNIT LEVEL.
Attaching prices will be done to each individual unit and so it a Unit level activity.
H. Issuing an invoice. CUSTOMER LEVEL ACTIVITY.
Issuing an invoice is done when a sale is complete. Sales are done to customers so this is a customer Level Activity.
I. Developing a corporate advertising campaign. ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL ACTIVITY.
This is has to do with advertising the company as a whole and so is an Organizational level Activity.
J. Recalling a defective product. PRODUCT LEVEL ACTIVITY.
By recalling an entire product, this Activity falls under the Product Level because it deals with the product as a whole. For example, Toyota recalling all cars of a certain model for safety reasons.
A customer wishes to open an account to fund payment of private middle school tuition. If the customer does not wish to deposit more than $2,000 per year and wishes to get a tax benefit, the best advice is for the customer to open a:
Answer: Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA)
Explanation:
A Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) is a type of Trust account created by the US Government to help families fund the educational expenses of their members who are aged 18 or below.
This account is not Taxable as the US Government wants to use it as a way to encourage Educational Expenditure.
The account however is limited to a maximum deposit of $2,000 per year per beneficiary and so is perfect for the customer in question.
Luis and Amy are programmers employed by X Corp. They work in cubicles next to each other. Both have M.Sc. degrees in computer science (Luis also has a Ph.D. in philosophy). They are about the same age, and have been with the company since its birth. Luis codes games, while Amy codes a variety of projects. Although their work is different, both jobs require the same skill level. Luis makes $100,000 a year, while Amy makes $80,000. If Amy sues X Corp. because of the pay differential, what must she show? What might the company argue in defense? Who should win?
Answer:
If Amy sues X Corp. because of the pay differential, what must she show?
The Equal Pay Act of 1963 prohibits discrimination in payment on the basis of gender (and race and origin also). In this case, Amy must prove that her work requires the same skills as Luis's and that it provides the same value to the company. They both have a master's degree in computer science, but she must also show that Luis's Ph.D. is not important to their work.
What might the company argue in defense?
The company might argue two things:
That Luis has a higher education degree, since he has a Ph.D. That Luis's work is more specialized since he codes games, while Amy codes different projects. They would have to prove that the games that Luis codes are much more profitable and valuable to the company than the work Amy does.Who should win?
If their work is similar, then Amy should win. If they are basically both doing the same job and require the same skills, therefore, the salary should be the same.
But if Luis's work is much more relevant and profitable for the company, then Amy would lose. If this is true, they might have to change Luis's compensation and reduce his salary but increase bonus compensation. This is true in all companies (or the vast majority of), e.g. the quarterback receives the highest salary since his job is more important for the team.
At an output level of 12,200 units, you have calculated that the degree of operating leverage is 3.20. The operating cash flow is $67,100 in this case. Ignore the effect of taxes. What will be the new degree of operating leverage for output levels of 13,200 units and 11,200 units
Answer:
For 13,200, the Operating Leverage is 3.46.
For 11,200, the Operating Leverage is 2.94.
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the Contribution Margin per unit:
Operating Leverage = (# of units * Contribution margin per unit) / Net Operating income
Here,
Number of Units are 12,200 Units
Net Operating income $67,100
Operating Leverage is 3.2
By putting values, we have:
3.2 = (12,200 Units * Contribution margin per unit) / $67,100
(3.2 * $67,100) / 12,200 Units = Contribution margin per unit
Contribution margin per unit = $17.6 per unit
For 13,200 units:
By putting value of units and keeping other variables constant, we have:
Operating Leverage = (13,200 units x $17.60 per unit) / $67,100
Operating Leverage = 3.46
For 11,200 units:
By putting value of units and keeping other variables constant, we have:
Operating Leverage = (11,200 units * $17.60 per unit) / $67,100
Operating Leverage = 2.94
Your coin collection contains 59,1952 silver dollars. If your grandparents purchased them for their face value when they were new, how much will your collection be worth when you retire in 2053, assuming they appreciate at an annual rate of 6.6 percent?
Answer:
The collection is worth $37,525.78.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Your coin collection contains 59 1952 silver dollars.
Interest rate= 6.6%
Number of years= 2053 - 1952= 101 years
To calculate the value of the collection today, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 59*(1.066^101)
FV= $37,525.78
Cash dividend payments were $25,000. Long-term investments were sold for $79,000 cash. A building costing $198,000 was purchased using $19,800 cash, and the balance was financed with a mortgage note payable. Stock was issued to stockholders in exchange for $110,000 cash. A $44,000 loan was made to a local inventory supplier; the loan will be repaid in twelve months. Equipment used in operations was sold for $37,000. Repaid a long-term note payable for $92,000 cash. Cash received from short-term bank loans totaled $71,000. Determine Smith’s cash flows from investing activities.
Answer:
$4,200
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Cash dividend payments = $25,000.
Cash from selling of Long-term investments = $79,000.
Cash used for purchasing a building costing $198,000 = $19,800
Sale of equipment = $37,000
Long term note payable = $92,000 cash
Now,
The net cash from investing activities will be
= sale of long term investments - purchase of building + sale of equipment - purchase of investments
= $79,000 - $19,800 + $37,000 - $92000
= $4,200.
