Answer:
Find attached
Explanation:
The present value of $97,000 per year after retirement for 35 years is computed thus:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the plan rate of return of 6.5%
nper is 35 years(years after retirement)
pmt is the amount required per year
fv is not applicable is taken as zero
=-pv(6.5%,35,97000,0)=$1,327,634.80
The amount needed in the account at retirement is the future value of the plan.
Regular yearly payment into the plan is =pmt
=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)
=-pmt(6.5%,35,0,1327634.80)=$ 10,703.74
The percentage of income that must be contributed is found in the attached
Zombie Corp. has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.95, and ROE of 16.15 percent.
What is this firm's equity multiplier?
What is this firm's debt-equity ratio?
Answer:
This firm's equity multiplier is 1.6239
This firm's debt-equity ratio is 0.6239
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Profit Margin (PM) = 5.10%
That is, Net Profit/Sales = 5.10% = 0.051
Total Assets Turnover (TAT) = 1.95
That is, Sales/Total Assets = 1.95
Return on Equity (ROE) = 16.15%
That is, Net Profit/Total Equity = 16.15% = 0.1615
In order to calculate this firm's equity multiplier we would have to use the following formula:
Equity Multiplier (EM) = Total Assets / Total Equity
=(total assets/sales)*(sales/total equity)
=(total assets/sales)*(sales/net profit)*(net profit/total equity)
=(1/T AT)*(1/PM)*(ROE)
=(1/1.95)*(1/0.051)*(0.1615)
=1.6239
This firm's equity multiplier is 1.6239
In order to calculate this this firm's debt-equity ratio we would have to use the following formula:
Debt Equity Ratio = Debt/Equity
=(total assets- total equity)/(total equity)
=(total assets/total equity)-(total equity/total equity)
= equity multiplier-1
=1.6239-1
=0.6239
This firm's debt-equity ratio is 0.6239

Uniform Supply accepted a $8,800, 90-day, 9% note from Tracy Janitorial on October 17. What entry should Uniform Supply make on January 15 of the next year when the note is paid? (Assume reversing entries are not made.). (Use 360 days a year.)
Answer:
Dr cash($8800+$33+$165) $8,998
Cr notes receivable $8,800
Cr interest revenue $33
Cr interest receivable $165
Explanation:
As at January 15 when the note is received ,there is need to recognize interest revenue for 15 days of January i.e 15/360*9%*$8800=$33
From October 17 to December 31 ,interest receivable amount already recognized as revenue=75/360*9%*$8800=$165
The actual of amount of notes receivable is the original amount of $8,800
On January 1, 2019, Nash Corporation granted 9,600 options to key executives. Each option allows the executive to purchase one share of Nash’s $5 par value common stock at a price of $21 per share. The options were exercisable within a 2-year period beginning January 1, 2021, if the grantee is still employed by the company at the time of the exercise. On the grant date, Nash’s stock was trading at $24 per share, and a fair value option-pricing model determines total compensation to be $438,000.
On May 1, 2021, 7,440 options were exercised when the market price of Culver’s stock was $30 per share. The remaining options lapsed in 2023 because executives decided not to exercise their options.

In October, Pine Company reports 21,000 actual direct labor hours, and it incurs $118,000 of manufacturing overhead costs. Standard hours allowed for the work done is 20,600 hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $6.00 per direct labor hour. Compute the total overhead variance.
Answer: $5,600 Favorable
Explanation:
Total Overhead Variance is a method of measuring if the company is spending more than it is supposed to on overhead. It checks this by computing the difference between the Actual Overhead spent and the Budgeted/ Standard Overhead that it was supposed to spend.
If the Actual Overhead is more than the Standard Overhead the Variance is Negative, if the reverse is true then the Variance is Positive.
The formula for the Variance given the details in the question is,
Total Overhead Variance = Standard total Overhead - Actual Overhead
= (Standard hours * Pre-determined Overhead rate) - Actual Hours
= ( 20,600 * 6) - 118,000
= 123,600 - 118,000
= $5,600
The Standard Total Overhead is more than the Actual Total Overhead so the Variance is Positive as Pine Company spent less than it thought it would.
The integration of flower farming in Kenya into global economy creates additional pressure for the ecosystem and the environment in Kenya. The major concern is due to the following.
A. More pollution in Naivasha lake
B. Less water resources for locals
C. extensive use to water flowers
D. All of these
Answer: D. All of these
Explanation:
Lake Naivasha has seen a huge rise in pollution due to the integration of the Kenya flower farming industry. This is due to the chemicals and fertilizers used to farm the flowers. Indeed in the year, Researchers estimate that due to a torrential rainfall that hit the area, millions of fish and aquatic life died when fertilizers and chemicals were washed into the lake.
The use of water from the lake for flower farming has also reduced the amount of water available to locals. This as well as the massive increase in the population of area as people come from far and wide to work for the flower farms have also increased the usage of the lake thereby reducing what is left for the locals.
Used in farming are water flowers and their overuse have led to their numbers dropping as well.
An end-of-aisle price promotion changes the price elasticity of a good from −2 to −3. Suppose the normal price is $34, which equates marginal revenue with marginal cost at the initial elasticity of –2. What should the promotional price be when the elasticity changes to –3? (Hint: In other words, what price will equate marginal revenue and marginal cost?)
Answer:
MC = $17
P = $25.5
Explanation:
We proceed as follows;
Firstly calculate MC when e = -2, where MR = MC
(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI
Here P = $34 and e = -2
(34 - MC) / 34= 1/ I-2I
(34 - MC) / 34= 1 / 2
78-2MC = 34
2MC = 34
MC = 34/2
MC = 17
Now, as we have MC, we will calculate the new price when e = -3
(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI
(P - 17) / P = 1 / I-3I
(P - 17) / P = 1 / 3
3P -51 = P
2P = 51
P = 51/2
P = 25.5
Managers can use CSR and sustainability information as important feedback to guide decision making in a variety of areas. Which of the following areas is least likely to be impacted by this feedback?
a. cost control decisions
b. FASB compliance with U.S. GAAP
c. strategic and operational areas
d. resource allocation decisions
Answer:
Option B. FASB compliance with U.S. GAAP
Explanation:
Because FASB is an independent body and publishes amendmends in Accounting standards which are internationally accepted so it has nothing to do with the US GAAP. Our decision making impact can be seen on the matters that are dependent on us not on the things we don't have control of or if they independent body. So the least impacted would be FASB compliance with US GAAP.
Whereas the rest of options are controlled by the managers so they can be easily influenced by the decision making power of the managers.
Assume that the full-employment level of output is $5000 billion and the natural unemployment rate is 5%. Suppose the current unemployment rate is 8%. What would be the current level of output according to Okun's law (when the Okun's law coefficient is 2)?
Answer:
$4700 Billion
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Assume that full-employment level of output is =$5000 billion
Natural employment rate is =5%
Current unemployment rate = 8%
Now,
We find the current level of output according to Okun's law when the Okun's law coefficient is 2 which is given below:
2 (unemployment rate -natural unemployment) = potential GDP - actual GDP/potential GDP *100% this is known as the Okun's law
Thus
2( 8 - 5 ) = 5000 - actual GDP / 5000 * 100
or (6 * 5000 ) / 100 = 5000 - actual GDP = $4700 Billion
or
300 = 5000 - actual GDP
Hence, the actual GDP or current output = 5000 - 300 = 4700 $ billion
Newport Industries is one of the first producers of a unique consumer product. The company has chosen a low-price strategy, hoping this will enable them to quickly attract many customers while discouraging potential competitors from entering the market. Newport's approach to pricing is a classic example of the skimming strategy.A. TrueB. FalseThe ability to integrate computers into the design and manufacture of products has had the greatest impact on production techniques in recent years.A. TrueB. FalseIn the evaluation of the promotion, it's best to establish a promotional strategy that can reach multiple targets rather than developing a separate promotion mix for each target group.A. TrueB. FalseBright Electronics has found it needs to reorganize, including a significant trim of its middle management. This action will likely result in:_______.

With locations around the country, each center consists of a manager and several tutor and counselors. The counselors and tutor have a great deal of flexibility to design programs specifically for individual students. In fact, these first-line employees are considered to be the key people in the organization, and the manager's main function is to assist these employees in matters such as scheduling and securing necessary materials. This type of arrangement suggests that School Days is an inverted organization.A. TrueB. False
Answer:
1. False
2. False
3. d. centralizing its decision making to better control its total quality management program
4. a.
5. True
Explanation:
1. Remember, a skimming strategy does the opposite–where a company chooses the highest possible price not the lowest price for their product when entering the market.
2. Indeed, this has impacted on production techniques in recent years. For example, from labour intensive car factories in the past we now have fully automated car factories that require very few workforce.
3. Remember, centralization results when there are fewer people in the line of authority. Therefore, if Brights Electronics decision to reorganize and significantly trim its middle management would result in centralized decision making and a better control its total quality management program.
4. Note that the promotional mix involves target based marketing, therefore each target market may have unique characteristics. And to attract each target market would involve establishing a promotional strategy that can reach multiple targets rather than developing a separate promotion mix for each target group.
5. An inverted organization is one that has a reversal from the normal line of authority found in most organization. Instead of top to bottom it now bottom to top. This implies that the manager who normally would play major role in deciding strategies to be taken doesn't, but the bottom line employees performs that responsibility. Thus, School Days Center can be rightly called an inverted organization.

your investment has a 20% chance of earning 30% rate of return, a 50% chance of earning a 10% rate of return, and a 30% chance of losing 7%. what is your expected return on investment
Answer:
8.9%
Explanation:
From the question above
- The investment has 20% chance of earning 30% rate of return
= 20/100
Number or chances= 0.2
- The investment has a 50% chance of earning 10% rate of return
= 50/100
Number of chances = 0.5
- The investment has 30% chance of losing 7%
= 30/100
Number of chances= 0.3
Therefore, the expected return on investment can be calculated as follows
=0.2(30) + 0.5(10) + 0.3(-7)
=6 + 5 - 2.1
= 11-2.1
= 8.9%
Hence the expected return on investment is 8.9%

Summary balance sheet data for Greener Gardens Co. is shown below (in thousands of dollars). The company is in a highly seasonal business, and the data show its assets and liabilities at peak and off-peak seasons: Peak Off-Peak Cash $ 50 $ 30 Marketable securities 0 20 Accounts receivable 40 20 Inventories 100 50 Net fixed assets 500 500 Total assets $690 $620 Payables and accruals $ 30 $ 10 Short-term bank debt 50 0 Long-term debt 300 300 Common equity 310 310 Total claims $690 $620 From this data we may conclude that a. Without cash flow data, we cannot determine the aggressiveness or conservatism of the company's current asset financing policy. b. Greener Gardens' current asset financing policy calls for exactly matching asset and liability maturities. c. Greener Gardens' current asset financing policy is relatively aggressive; that is, the company finances some of its permanent assets with short-term discretionary debt. d. Without income statement data, we cannot determine the aggressiveness or conservatism of the company's current asset financing policy. e. Greener Gardens follows a relatively conservative approach to current asset financing; that is, some of its short-term needs are met by permanent capital.
Answer: E.) Greener Gardens follows a relatively conservative approach to current asset financing; that is, some of its short-term needs are met by permanent capital.
Explanation: From the data given above, it could be inferred that Greener gardens Co. due to the seasonal nature of its business takes a conservative and measured approach into financing its current asset such as cash, account receivables, inventory, short term liability or debt
using permanent capital in other to shore up running cost or fluctuation which could result due to low revenue during the off peak period and cut the company's spending on certain short term needs.
Answer:
The answer is E. Gardens follows a relatively conservative approach to current asset financing; that is, some of its short-term needs are met by permanent capital.
Explanation:
The current asset financing policy concentrates on determining the most appropriate method of financing both temporary and permanent current assets.
There are 3 types of working capital financing policy - matching, conservative and aggressive.
In conservative financing policy, a business is required to maintain high levels of current assets in relation to its sales so as to absorb any sudden changes in the sales and thus avoid disruption in the production plans.
Working capital equals total current asset minus total current liability.
For peak period:
Current assets:
Cash. $50
Marketable securities. -
Account receivables. $40
Inventories $100
Total current assets. $190
Current liabilities:
Payables and accruals. $30
Short term bank debt. $50
Total current liabilities. $80
Therefore, working capital is:
$190 - $80
=$110
So Greener Gardens co. has excess working capital to cover for any sudden change in price.
Also for off peak:
Current assets:
Cash. $30
Marketable securities. $20
Account receivables. $20
Inventories $50
Total current assets. $120
Current liabilities:
Payables and accruals. $10
Short term bank debt. -
Total current liabilities. $10
Therefore, working capital is:
$120 - $10
=$110
For both on peak and off peak, the working capital is the same, meaning it is maintain a conservative policy that is dependent on its assets for financing.
g Dybala Corporation produces and sells a single product. Data concerning that product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selling price $ 110 100 % Variable expenses 66 60 % Contribution margin 44 40 % The company is currently selling 5,120 units per month. Fixed expenses are $210,000 per month. The marketing manager believes that a $6,600 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 230 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
Answer:
Effect on income= $3,520 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Contribution margin= 44
The marketing manager believes that a $6,600 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 230 unit increase in monthly sales.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= increase in contribution margin - increase in costs
Effect on income= 230*44 - 6,600
Effect on income= $3,520 increase
Melody and Todd are married and have employee wages of $250,000 each in 2019. They have no other income. How much additional 0.9% Medicare tax will Melody and Todd have to pay or receive as a refund when they file their 2019 income tax return?
Answer:
$1,350
Explanation:
The computation of the amount pay or received as a refund at the time of filing the income tax return for the year 2019 is shown below:
As we know that
The Medicare tax rate is 1.45% till $200,000
And, if it is above $200,000 than 2.35% is charged (1.45% + 0.9%)
Now
For individually calculated,
Melody = ($200,000 × 1.45%) + ($50,000 × 2.35%) = $4,075
Todd = ($200,000 × 1.45%) + ($50,000 × 2.35%) = $4,075
So, the total is
= $4,075 + $4,075
= $8,150
Now if they filling their joint return so
Total salary is $500,000 ($250,000 × 2)
Medicare upto $250,000 = $3,625 ($250,000 × 1.45%)
for remaining $250,000 = $5,875 ($250,000 × 2.35%)
So, the Total is
= $3,625 + $5,875
= $9,500
Now the refund is
= Joint return - individually return for each one
= $9,500 - $8,150
= $1,350
Job A3B was ordered by a customer on September 25. During the month of September, Jaycee Corporation requisitioned $1,800 of direct materials and used $3,300 of direct labor. The job was not finished by the end of the month, but needed an additional $2,300 of direct materials and additional direct labor of $5,100 to finish the job in October. The company applies overhead at the end of each month at a rate of 200% of the direct labor cost incurred. What is the balance in the Work in Process account at the end of September relative to Job A3B? Multiple Choice $7,400 $11,700 $4,100 $8,400
Answer:
$11,700
Explanation:
The computation of the balance in the work in process at the end of the month is shown below:
= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost percentage of direct labor cost
= $1,800 + $3,300 + $3,300 × 200%
= $1,800 + $3,300 + $6,600
= $11,700
We simply added the direct material cost, direct labor cost and the manufacturing overhead cost so that the ending balance could arrive

Pitchfork, Inc. is preparing its 2020 financial statements. The company's accountant calculated Income from Continuing Operations to be $1,700,000, but upon further review is not certain this number is accurate. Pitchfork has a corporate income tax rate of 30%. Additionally, the company reports only one year of financial data on the face of the financial statements. All amounts listed are pretax unless otherwise noted. After reviewing the following information, determine the appropriate adjustments, if any, to Income from Continuing Operations. Once you have determined the CORRECT Income from Continuing Operations, complete the remainder of the Income Statement for reporting EPS.
1. On January 1, 2017, Pitchfork purchased a machine for $180,000 with a salvage value of $20,000 and useful life of eight years which was depreciated using the straight-line method. During 2020, Pitchfork decided to change to double-declining-balance method. The $1,700,000 Income from Continuing Operations had already been calculated using the straight-line depreciation method.

Suppose that there is a French shipbuilder that imports American made aluminum for parts in its ships. The French shipbuilder needs to purchase aluminum from the American producer for $100,000. Question: At the equilibrium exchange rate, how much does it cost to purchase $100,000 worth of aluminum from the American producer
Answer:
€67,000
Explanation:
The computation o the cost is shown below:
But before that first we have to determine the exchange rate at which the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplies
As we can see that from the table $1.5 per euro exchange rate, the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplied
That means € 1 = $ 1.5
So,
$1 = € 1 ÷ 1.5
So,
Euro exchange rate = €0.67 per dollar
Now
Worth of exchange is
= $100,000 × € 0.67 per dollar
= €67,000
In a situation of neither input nor output fixed, the proper economic criterion is to _________________. A. Maximize the output B. Minimize the inputs C. Minimize (inputs - outputs) D. Maximize (outputs - inputs)
Answer:
D. Maximize (outputs - inputs)
Explanation:
The input is the raw material, labor, the efforts that is used in making the product while the output is the product or the result arising from the input
The profit arises when output and the input varies from each other
i.e
Profit = Output - input
In the case where there is neither an input nor output fixed, so we have to maximize the profit i.e (output - input) but the condition is that they are different from each other
Hence, the correct option is D.

Henrie’s Drapery Service is investigating the purchase of a new machine for cleaning and blocking drapes. The machine would cost $102,990, including freight and installation. Henrie’s estimated the new machine would increase the company’s cash inflows, net of expenses, by $30,000 per year. The machine would have a five-year useful life and no salvage value.
Required:
a. Compute the machine's internal rate of return to the nearest whole percent.
b. Compute the machine's net present value. Use a discount rate of 16%. (Any cash outflows should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places.)
c. Suppose that the new machine would increase the company's annual cash inflows, net of expenses, by only $41,000 per year. Under these conditions, compute the internal rate of return to the nearest whole percent.
Answer:
A. 14%
B. NPV = $-4,761.19
C. 28%
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-102,990
Cash flow each year from year one to five = $30,000
IRR = 14%
The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Npv can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-102,990
Cash flow each year from year one to five = $30,000
I = 16%
NPV = $-4,761.19
IRR if cash flow is $41,000
Cash flow in year 0 = $-102,990
Cash flow each year from year one to five = $41,000
IRR = 28%
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
