Pick an Agile Manifesto principle that you think is likely to have the biggest impact on the success or failure of a typical project in your organization and why
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The Agile Manifesto principle that I am going to pick in the principle of "Embracing Change."
I think this is likely to have the biggest impact on the success or failure of a typical project in my organization because change is the constant in modern-day business. Probably, since the inception of the modern-day industry.
In order to be successful and maintain that success over the years -no matter the conditions- a company has to be ready not only to adapt to change but to change ahead of necessity. And this is one of the most difficult things to do in business because people love to be in a comfort zone for years. People in corporate America likes to know they are safe in their traditional places doing traditional things. For them, change is tough.
That is why I think "Embrace change" would be the principle that would help me the most.

Isabel, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for her sole proprietorship. In late December she received a $20,000 bill from her accountant for consulting services related to her small business. Isabel can pay the $20,000 bill anytime before January 30 of next year without penalty. Assume her marginal tax rate is 37 percent this year and next year, and that she can earn an after-tax rate of return of 12 percent on her investments. a. What is the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $20,000 bill in December? b. What is the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $20,000 bill in January? Use Exhibit 3.1. (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) c. Based on requirements a and b, should Isabel pay the $20,000 bill in December or January? multiple choice December January
Answer:
A. $12,600
B. $13,392
C. Isabel should pay the $20,000 bill in December
Explanation:
A. Calculation for the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $20,000 bill in December
First step is to calculate present value tax savings
Present value tax savings=$20,000 x 37%
Present value tax savings= $7,400
Now let calculate the After-tax cost
After-tax cost = $20,000 - $7,400
After-tax cost = $12,600
Therefore the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $20,000 bill in December is $12,600
B. Calculation for the What the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $20,000 bill in January
First step is to calculate present value tax savings
Present value tax savings=($20,000 x 37%)* (Discount factor, 1 year, 12%)
Present value tax savings= $7,400 * .893
Present value tax savings=$6,608
Now let calculate the After-tax cost
After-tax cost= $20,000 - $6,608
After-tax cost = $13,392
Therefore the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $20,000 bill in January is $13,392
c. Based on the above calculation for a and b Isabel should pay the $20,000 bill in the month of December reason been that in a situation where her payment is increase from the month of January to the month of December it will tend to lead to increase in the cash flow present value (PV) .
Sheridan Company had net income for 2021 of $3050000. Additional information is as follows: Depreciation of plant assets $1192000 Amortization of intangibles 248000 Increase in accounts receivable 428000 Increase in accounts payable 543000 Sheridan's net cash provided by operating activities for 2021 was $4375000. $2725000. $4605000. $4490000.
Answer:
$4605000
Explanation:
The cash flow provided by operating activities is computed by starting with the net income and adjusting for non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization as well as the impact of working capital as shown by the formula below:
operating cash flows=net income+depreciation+amortization-increase in accounts receivable+increase in accounts payable
increase in accounts receivable deprives the business of cash , hence, it is treated as an ouflow (deducted) and an increase in accounts payable has an opposite impact.
operating cash flows=$3050000+$1192000+$248000-$428000+$543000
operating cash flows=$ 4,605,000

If Congress votes to increase spending, how would output, the interest rates and the international value of the dollar (based on change in interest rates) change as a result
Answer:
Increase, Increase, Increase
Explanation:
If Congress votes to increase spending, and the government increase the spending, the output will increase, interest rate will increase and the international value of the dollar will increase as well.
This is because aggregate demand will increase which will shift the aggregate demand curve to the right and will GDP will be higher. This also increases the world GDP because the US economy is a major part of the world economy. As the government spending is increased, government will face or decline in public savings and therefore National saving. To finance its budget deficit it will increase the rate of interest. Since the United States influences the world interest rate, as a result the world interest rate would increase. Capital will start flowing in the United States increasing the demand for US dollar. This will increase the price of US dollar.

demand deposits of $10,000, the reserve requirement is .05, the Federal Funds rate is 6% and the Discount rate is 4% . How much money can it loan out
Answer:
The amount of money the bank can loan out is $200,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations
Demand deposits = $10,000
Reserve requirement = 0.05
Federal Funds rate = 6%
Discount rate = 4%
The money the bank can loan out = Demand Deposit/Reserve Requirement
= $10,000/0.05
= $200,000
b) The amount that the commercial bank can loan out is determined by the amount of its deposits and the ratio of the reserve requirement. The reserve requirement ratio gives the percentage of deposits that commercial banks must hold as reserves in their vaults. This implies that if the required reserve ratio is 5 percent, for instance, the bank must hold 5 percent of its deposits as required reserves. If demand deposits are $10,000, then $500 ($10,000 x .05) must be held as required reserves and then the bank can lend out $9,500 to the first customer. However, this amount will expand because the customer keeps the amount within the bank, enabling the bank to lend out $200,000 from a deposit of $10,000. The total amount the bank can lend out is calculated as $10,000/0.05.

If enterprise systems do much of the traditional work of recording transactions and processing journal entries and other accounting information, what role is left for the accountant to perform?
Answer:
If enterprise systems do much of the traditional work of recording transactions and processing journal entries and other accounting information,
the role that is left for the accountant to perform is to analyze the accounting information and provide interpretations to guide management's actions.
Explanation:
This is an evolving role that accountants must fulfill as Information Technology frees up their time to concentrate on less routine accounting tasks. They should now be focused on becoming trusted and valued advisors to their organizations by helping them to undertake strategic planning. They can achieve this as they devote more of their time to carry out an in-depth analysis of the accounting information being produced through technological automation and to provide correct interpretation of the analyzed data.

5. Refer to the original data. By automating, the company could reduce variable expenses by $3 per unit. However, fixed expenses would increase by $57,000 each month. a. Compute the new CM ratio and the new break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales. b. Assume that the company expects to sell 20,800 units next month. Prepare two contribution format income statements, one assuming that operations are not automated and one assuming that they are. (Show data on a per unit and percentage basis, as well as in total, for each alternative.) c. Would you recommend that the company automate its operations (Assuming that the company expects to sell 20,800)
Question Completion:
Due to erratic sales of its sole product - a high capacity battery for laptop computers - PEM, Inc., has been experiencing difficulties for some time. The contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given as follows:
Sales (19,500 units at $30 per unit) $585,000
Variable expenses 409,500
Contribution margin 175,500
Fixed expenses 180,000
Net operating margin ($4,500)
Answer:
PEM, Inc.
a1) New CM ratio = 40%
a2) Break-even point in unit sales and dollars sales
i) Break-even point in unit sales = Fixed Expenses/Contribution per unit
= $237,000/$12
= 19,750 units
ii) Break-even point in dollars sales = Fixed Expenses/Contribution margin ratio
= $237,000/0.4
= $592,500
b. Contribution format income statements, based on sales of 20,800 units:
Without With
Automation Automation
Sales (20,800 units at $30 per unit) $624,000 $624,000 (20,800 * $30)
Variable expenses (20,800 at $21) 436,800 374,400 (20,800 * $18)
Contribution margin (20,800 * $9) 187,200 249,600 (20,800 * $12)
Fixed expenses 180,000 237,000
Net operating margin $7,200 $12,600
c) I would recommend that the company should automate its operations. It will generate more net operating margin, equal to $5,400 ($12,600 - $7,200), when it automates than when it does not, assuming that it expects to sell 20,800 units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Variable expenses reduction = $3 per unit
Old variable expenses per unit = $21 ($409,500/19,500)
New variable expenses per unit = $18 ($21 - $3)
New variable expenses = $351,000 ($18 * 19,500)
New Contribution Margin per unit = $12 ($30 - $18)
New Contribution margin ratio = $12/$30 * 100 = 0.4 or 40%
Old Fixed Expenses = $180,000
New Fixed Expenses = $237,000 ($180,000 + $57,000)
