Answer:
A. A only
Explanation:
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) does not allow property, plant, and equipment to be written up or revalued. If the fair value of PP&E falls below the book value and the amount is material then a company must write down the asset to fair value.
Since under US GAAP, once PPE is written, it can not be reversed. as Company B is indicated to have reversed the write down while company A did not. It therefore means that Company A only is reporting under US GAAP.
Final answer:
Company A is most likely to report under US GAAP because US GAAP does not permit reversal of PP&E write-downs, and higher COGS reported by Company A could be indicative of using the LIFO method, permitted under US GAAP when prices rise.
Explanation:
The question asks which of the two companies, A or B, most likely reports under US GAAP, given that:
Company B reported lower COGS than Company A this year while prices rose.Company B reversed a PP&E write-down this year that was taken in 2016.Under US GAAP, reversing a write-down of PP&E (property, plant, and equipment) is not permitted once it is recorded. Moreover, if prices rise throughout the year and inventory valuation methods remain constant, COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) would typically increase under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method which is allowed under US GAAP. This premise leads to the conclusion that Company A, which did not reverse the PP&E write-down and potentially follows LIFO accounting (assuming it led to higher COGS), is the one that most likely reports under US GAAP. Therefore, the correct answer is A. A only.
On January 2, 2009, L Co. issued at par $20,000 of 4% bonds convertible in total into 1,000 shares of L's common stock. No bonds were converted during 2009. Throughout 2009, L had 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding. L's 2009 net income was $2,000. L's income tax rate is 50%.No potential common shares other than the convertible bonds were outstanding during 2009.L's diluted earnings per share for 2009 would be :A. $1.00.B.$1.20.C. $1.40.D. $2.00.
Answer:
The correct answer is $1.2 per share.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:
Interest expense of Bonds = $20,000 × 4% = $800
Now, Interest expense of Bond, After tax = $800 × ( 1 - 50%) = $800 × 0.50
= $400
So, we can calculate the diluted earning by using following formula:
Diluted Earning = (Net income + Interest expense after tax) ÷ Total outstanding shares outstanding
Where, Total outstanding shares = 1,000 shares + 1,000 shares = 2,000 shares
By putting the value, we get
Diluted earning = ($2000 + $400 ) ÷ 2,000
= $1.2 per share
Petra's basis was $50,000 in the PAM Partnership interest just before she received a proportionate nonliquidating distribution consisting of land held for investment (basis of $40,000, fair market value of $60,000) and inventory (basis of $40,000, fair market value of $40,000). After the distribution, Petra's bases in the land and inventory, respectively, are:a.$40,000 and $0.
b.$10,000 and $40,000.
c.$25,000 and $25,000.d.$40,000 and $10,000.
e.$40,000 and $40,000.
Answer:
b.$10,000 and $40,000.
Explanation:
Under the ordering rules for distributions, cash is distributed first, then followed by unrealized receivables and inventory; other assets are distributed last.
For Petra, the inventory is distributed first and takes a carryover basis of $40,000.
This reduces Petra's basis to $10,000. The land is distributed next and takes the $10,000 remaining basis
$50,000 (partnership interest) – $40,000 (inventory) = $10,000 (land distribution)
For each of the following scenarios, determine the effect on aggregate supply.
a. There is an unexpected decrease in oil prices.
___ This will cause a movement along the aggregate supply curve to the left, showing a decrease in the quantity of real GDP supplied.
___ This will cause a decrease in aggregate supply, shifting the aggregate supply curve to the left.
___ This will cause an increase in aggregate supply, shifting the aggregate supply curve to the right.
___ This will cause a movement along the aggregate supply curve to the right, showing an increase in the quantity of real GDP supplied.
b. Suppose the government increases the amount that all producers are required to contribute to health insurance coverage
___ This will cause a movement along the aggregate supply curve to the right, showing an increase in the quantity of real GDP supplied.
___ This will cause a decrease in aggregate supply, shifting the aggregate supply curve to the left.
___ This will cause a movement along the aggregate supply curve to the left, showing a decrease in the quantity of real GDP supplied.
___ This will cause an increase in aggregate supply, shifting the aggregate supply curve to the right.
An unexpected decrease in oil prices increases aggregate supply by shifting the aggregate supply curve to the right, while a mandated increase in health insurance contributions by producers leads to a decrease in aggregate supply, shifting the curve to the left.
For each of the following scenarios, the effect on aggregate supply can be determined based on the changes in production costs and other relevant factors:
a. There is an unexpected decrease in oil prices.The rationale behind these effects is that a decrease in oil prices reduces production costs, allowing firms to supply more at the same price levels, thereby shifting the curve to the right. Conversely, an increase in mandatory health insurance contributions raises production costs, leading to a reduced quantity of goods and services supplied at the same price levels, which shifts the aggregate supply curve to the left.

Explanation:
Larry and Susan work in an office near Tractor-ama and Tip Top Tractors, wholesale tractor sellers on the same block. Larry notices that both places are charging only $1500 for a base-model tractor, which is below the price of $2000 that a base-model tractor typically costs elsewhere in the city. Susan wonders if Tractor-ama and Tip Top Tractors are engaged in a price war. Over the past month, she has noticed that each store has lowered its prices each week, but that Tip Top Tractors always lowered its price first. She suggests that Tip Top Tractors is engaging in predatory pricing. Larry correctly replies that they cannot determine whether Tip Top Tractors is guilty of predatory pricing because:
Answer:
to prove Tip Top Tractors engaged in predatory pricing, you would need to prove that Tip Top Tractors priced a tractor below average variable cost with specified intention of driving Tractor-ama out of business.
Explanation:
Predatory pricing is a strategy to cut prices and set a price really low to gain new customers. This strategy is also used to stop entering other firms into business and create monopoly or Drive competitors out of their business. Tip Top Tractors has also adopted this strategy and has lowered the prices of tractor to $1500 which is below that the $2000 which is normal price in the city. To prove that Tip Top Tractors has adopted predatory pricing, we require proof that the prices are set below average variable cost.

Joe runs a restaurant. He pays his employees $200,000 per year. His ingredients cost him $50,000 per year. Prior to running his restaurant, Joe was a lawyer earning $150,000 per year. If Joe's restaurant earns $600,000 per year in revenue, Joe's accounting profits are ________ and his economic profits are __________.
Answer:
Accounting profit= $350,000
Economic profit= $200,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Restaurant:
Earnings= 600,000
Employees= (200,000)
Ingridients= (50,000)
Lawyer:
Earnings= 150,000
The difference between the economic and accounting profit is that the first one includes the opportunity cost of not working as a lawyer.
Accounting profit= 600,000 - 250,000= $350,000
Economic profit= 600,000 - 250,000 - 150,000= $200,000
Joe's restaurant has an accounting profit of $350,000, which is calculated by subtracting the cost of employees and ingredients from the revenue. The economic profit, which additionally subtracts the opportunity cost of Joe not working as a lawyer, is $200,000.
Explanation:Joe runs a restaurant and his accounting profits and his economic profits are calculated from his annual activities. First, to calculate accounting profit, we subtract the explicit costs of employees ($200,000) and ingredients ($50,000) from his revenue ($600,000). This gives us an accounting profit of $600,000 - $200,000 - $50,000 = $350,000. Next, to find economic profit, we consider not only the explicit costs but also the opportunity cost of Joe's next best alternative to running the restaurant, which was his previous job as a lawyer earning $150,000 per year. Therefore, the economic profit is $350,000 (accounting profit) minus the opportunity cost of $150,000, resulting in $200,000.

The company sells $4,770,000 of the bonds at par on January 1. The remaining $530,000 sells at par on July 1. The bonds pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. 1. Record the entry for the first interest payment on June 30. 2. Record the entry for the July 1 cash sale of bonds.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry are as follows
1. Interest expense $214,650
To Cash $214,650
(Being the first interest payment is recorded)
The computation is shown below
= $4,770,000 × 9% × 6 months ÷ 12 months
= $214,650
For recording this we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses while on the other hand the cash is paid which reduced the cash balance so it is credited
2. Cash $530,000
To Bond payable $530,000
(Being the cash sale of bond is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cash as cash is received that increased the cash balance and at the same time we credited the bond payable

1.
Company sold copier of costing of $4,800 for $ 6,000 with an expected warranty cost of 4%.
Calculation of warranty expenses is as below.
Warranty expenses = rate of warranty * sales price
4% * $6000
= $240
Warranty expenses for the company which reported in the 2015 for the copier is $240
2.
Company sold copier of costing of $4,800 for $ 6,000 with an expected warranty cost of 4%.
Calculation of estimated warranty liability reported as of 31st December, 2015 is as below.
Estimated Warranty expenses = rate of warranty * sales price
4% * $6000
= $240
Estimated warranty liability for the company which reported as of 31st December, 2015 for the copier is $240
3.
In the year 2016 the company $209 repair required for the copier. And this amount charged against estimated warranty liability. The company provided two year parts warranty, for this warranty expenses charged in the year 2015.
Hence no further warranty expenses reported in the year 2016 for the copier.
4.
Computation of estimated warranty liability for the copier as of December 31st, 2016 is as below.
Balanced of Estimated Warranty liability =

Flyer Company has provided the following information prior to any year-end bad debt adjustment: Cash sales, $169,000 Credit sales, $469,000 Selling and administrative expenses, $129,000 Sales returns and allowances, $49,000 Gross profit, $509,000 Accounts receivable, $295,000 Sales discounts, $33,000 Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance, $3,100 Flyer prepares an aging of accounts receivable and the result shows that 3% of accounts receivable is estimated to be uncollectible. What is the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded
Answer:
$5,750
Explanation:
The computation of the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is shown below:
= Account receivable × estimated percentage - credit balance of Allowance for doubtful accounts
= $295,000 × 0.03 - $3,100
= $8,850 - $3,100
= $5,750
By deducting the credit balance from the estimated amount we can find out the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts

The operations manager at a chemical company that produces insecticide for use in commercial applications is attempting to set a safety stock level for a key ingredient that is used in their most powerful product. She believes that demand during lead time for this ingredient is normally distributed based on past data. In addition, she believes that future use is accurately depicted by these historical demand-duringlead-time data (in gallons): 55, 75, 75, 70, 80, 60, 50, 70, 60, and 85. She estimates the standard deviation of demand during the lead time to be 8.5 gallons.
a. What is the average demand during the lead time for this key ingredient?
b. What is the safety stock they need to provide a 95% service level?
c. What is the order point the company should use?
Answer:
a) Average demand during the lead time = Sum of all the historical demand during lead time / Number of periods
= (55+75+75+70+80+60+50+70+60+85) / 10
= 680 / 10
= 68 gallons
b) Standard deviation of demand during lead time(\sigmadL) = 8.5 gallons
At 95% service level,value of Z = 1.65
Safety stock = Z(\sigmadL) = 1.65(8.5) = 14.03 gallons
c) Reorder point = Average demand during the lead time + Safety stock
= 68 + 14.03
= 82.03 gallons

Jerry knows that Lucy has coveted his classic car for quite some time. Finally willing to sell it, he sends a letter to Lucy offering to sell the car for $15,000. Lucy responds by saying she needs time to arrange financing. Lucy offers Jerry $100 to keep the offer open for two weeks. Jerry agrees, taking the $100. Three days later, Roberta contacts Jerry saying she is interested in buying the car and has the cash to buy it outright. Jerry is concerned that if he doesn't sell the car to Roberta now, she may not be interested later. Furthermore, Lucy may never be able to arrange financing. Jerry is afraid he may end up with no buyer at all. He comes to you for advice. What do you advise
Answer:
Explanation:
Despite the fact that it seems jerry can easily take a bow of the discussion with Lucy and forge ahead in selling the car to Roberta, he had certain restrictions that he should respect. Accepting $100 from Lucy, Jerry entered into what we know as an “Option” contract, giving an option to Lucy to buy the car in the next two weeks.
Irrespective of Lucy’s financial status, jerry should respect the contract that he has entered into. As a back-up, he can hold discussions with Roberta and can request her to wait for 2 weeks when the option period expires and he can sell the car to her at an outright payment
Jerry is bound by an option contract with Lucy which prevents him from selling the car to anyone else for two weeks, despite receiving a better offer from Roberta in the interim.
Jerry finds himself in a contractual predicament due to an agreement to sell his classic car. When Lucy offers Jerry $100 to keep the offer open for two weeks, and he accepts it, they enter into what is known as an option contract. This means Jerry is legally obligated to keep the offer open for the agreed period and cannot sell the car to someone else during that time, regardless of any other offers he receives or concerns about Lucy's ability to secure financing.
In this scenario, the ethical and legal course of action for Jerry would be to inform Roberta that he is currently bound by the terms of his contract with Lucy and thus unable to accept her immediate offer. Jerry can explain to Roberta that if Lucy does not complete the purchase within the two-week period, he would then be free to negotiate with Roberta or any other potential buyers.
Yakov lives in San Diego and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $704,000 from selling boats. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $404,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $286,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $3,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Yakov does not operate this boat business, he can work as an accountant and receive an annual salary of $20,000 with no additional monetary costs. No other costs are incurred in running this boat business. Identify each of Yakov's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling boats. Complete the following table by determining Yakov's accounting and economic profit of his boat business. If Yakov's goal is to maximize his economic profit, he stay in the boat business because the economic he would earn as an accountant would be __________
Answer:
Yakov's explicit costs are the monetary costs that he pays while running his business:
Payment to manufacturer: $404,000
Wages and utility bills: $286,000
Total explicit costs: $690,000
Yakov's implicit costs are his opportunity costs, in other words, the things he gives up in order to run his business:
Rent he would get for his showroom: $3,000
Wage he would get as an accountant: $20,000
Total implicit costs: $23,000
Yakov's accounting profit is equal to revenue minus total explicit costs:
Accounting profit = $704,000 - $690,000
= $14,000
Yakov's economic profit is equal to revenue minus total costs (the sum of implic costs and explicit costs)
Economic profit = $704,000 - $713,000
= ($9,000)
Despite the fact that Yakov is not earning an economic profit selling boats, as an accountant, he would give up on the $704,000 that he is been making from selling boats. For that reason, he should keep the boat selling business.
Yakov's costs can be classified as explicit or implicit. Accounting profit is calculated by subtracting explicit costs from sales revenue, while economic profit considers both explicit and implicit costs. Yakov would have a negative economic profit if he worked as an accountant instead of running his boat business.
Explanation:Yakov's costs can be classified as either explicit costs or implicit costs. Explicit costs are direct monetary expenses that Yakov incurs in running his boat business, such as the wholesale cost of boats, wages, utility bills, and the rental cost of the showroom. On the other hand, implicit costs are opportunity costs associated with forgoing alternative opportunities. In this case, Yakov's implicit cost is the salary he would earn as an accountant if he didn't operate the boat business.
To calculate Yakov's accounting profit, subtract the explicit costs from the sales revenue. Accounting profit = sales revenue - explicit costs. Economic profit, on the other hand, considers both explicit and implicit costs. To calculate economic profit, subtract both the explicit and implicit costs from the sales revenue. Economic profit = sales revenue - explicit costs - implicit costs.
If Yakov's goal is to maximize his economic profit, he should stay in the boat business because the economic profit he would earn as an accountant would be negative (-$10,000 per year).

The University of California has two bonds outstanding. Both issues have the same credit rating, a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 4%. Coupons are paid twice a year. Bond A matures in 1 year, while bond B matures in 30 years.
The market interest rate for similar bonds is 9%.
1. What is the price of bond A?
2. What is the price of bond B?
3. Now assume that yields increase to 12%. What is the price of bond A?
4. What is now the price of bond B?
Answer:
1) price of Bond A=$953.18
2) price of Bond B=$484.05
3) price of Bond A= $ 926.66
4) price of Bond B= $ 353.54
Explanation:
According to the given data, we have two Bonds, Bond A and B with a face of value of $1,000 each of them, the coupon rate is of of 4%.
If The market interest rate for similar bonds is 9%, therefore the price of bond A and B would be calculated using the following formula:
PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
Hence, price of Bond A= PV(9%/2,1*2,40/2,1000)*-1
1) price of Bond A=$953.18
price of Bond B= PV(9%/2,30*2,40/2,1000)*-1
2) price of Bond B=$484.05
If that yields increase to 12%, therefore the price of bond A and B would be the following:
price of Bond A= PV(12%/2,1*2,40/2,1000)*-1
3) price of Bond A= $ 926.66
price of Bond B= PV(12%/2,30*2,40/2,1000)*-1

Suppose that in the last year the variation in the real exchange rate was −5% and that all this variation was due to the imposition of a tariff by the US to the imports of Chinese manufacturing goods. Assume that, absent the tariff, the law of one price held for both goods:_______
Answer:
Country with fallen exchange rate (fall - 5%) , will face domestic Inflation.
Explanation:
Law of One price suggests that goods cost same in two countries, when their prices are converted into common currency based on exchange rate.
International Price of a good = Domestic Price x Exchange Rate
So maintaining 'Law of one price' : Fall in exchange rate is accompanied by Increase in domestic prices (Inflation). And, Increase in exchange rate is accompanied by Decrease in domestic prices (Deflation).
Given : Fall in real exchange rate by 5%. So, corresponding domestic currency prices will inflate.
A homeowner sued a plumber for damages resulting from the plumber's allegedly faulty installation of water pipes in her basement, which caused flooding. At trial, the homeowner was prepared to testify that when she first detected the flooding, she turned off the water and called the plumber at his emergency number for help and that the plumber responded, "I'll come by tomorrow and redo the installation for free."
(A) Is the homeowner's testimony regarding the plumber's response admissible?
Answer: The correct answer is YES it is admissible as evidence of the plumber's fault.
Explanation: An Evidence has probative value if it tends to prove an issue. The testimony of the homeowner of the regarding the plumber's response is a party admission. It is admissible as a hearsay exemption under Rule 801(d)(2)(A) which explains that a statement or statemens made by a party in a case cannot be excluded as hearsay when offered against him by the opponent. As such, the statement is a probative evidence.
Yes, the homeowner's testimony regarding the plumber's response could be admissible evidence in a trial as it can be seen as a tacit admission of negligent work by the plumber. However, rules for admissibility of evidence can vary, hence a consultation with a legal expert is advised.
Explanation:The subject matter pertains to the admissibility of evidence in a legal proceeding or trial. Specifically, it pertains to whether the homeowner's testimony regarding the plumber's response is admissible.
In most court rooms, an admission of defective installation can be a potential evidence to be used in court against the defendant, in this case, the plumber. In this situation, the plumber's admission of his fault and the promise to fix it can be seen as a tacit admission of negligent work. This can be interpreted as the acceptance on his part that the installation he did was faulty. Hence, the homeowner's testimony regarding the plumber's response can be considered admissible in a trial, subject to other evidentiary rules.
The rules for admissibility of evidence can vary depending on the jurisdiction and certain other factors, though. Therefore, a consultation with a legal expert is necessary for specifics of the case.

Price floors and price supports set a minimum price below which a good or service cannot be sold. Minimum wage laws and agricultural price supports are common examples of such price controls. When price floors are used to keep prices above free-market levels in the agricultural industry, which of the following outcomes are common? Check all that apply.
A. Overinvestment in the agricultural industryB. A decrease in the future supply of agricultural goodsC. A surplus of agricultural goodsD. A problem of disposal of surplus agricultural goods
Price floors in the agricultural industry often result in C. a surplus of agricultural goods and a problem of disposal.
Explanation:A price floor is a government-imposed limit on how low a price can be set for a specific good or service. It is often used to ensure that the price does not fall below a certain level, protecting producers and workers. Price floors can lead to surpluses and market inefficiencies if set above the equilibrium price.
When price floors are used to keep prices above free-market levels in the agricultural industry, the common outcomes are a surplus of agricultural goods and a problem of disposal of surplus agricultural goods. Price floors can lead to an overproduction of agricultural goods, resulting in a surplus. This surplus then creates a challenge for farmers and the government to find ways to deal with the excess goods.

The present value of the investment is approximately $74,789.01.
Explanation:To calculate the present value of the investment, we need to use the formula for the present value of an ordinary annuity. The formula is: PV = CF x (1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r, where PV is the present value, CF is the cash flow per period, r is the discount rate, and n is the number of periods.
In this case, the cash flow is $22,500 per year, the discount rate is 15% (or 0.15), and the number of periods is 5 years. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: PV = $22,500 x (1 - (1 + 0.15)^-5) / 0.15 = $74,789.01 (rounded to two decimal places).
Therefore, the present value of this investment is approximately $74,789.01.

On March 9, 2009, the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached a new low at a close of 7,447.50, which was down 98.34 that day. What was the return (in percent) of the stock market that day?
Answer: -1.26%
Explanation:
We can solve for this using the following formula.
Return on Stock Market = Down figure of Index / ( Close figure of Index - down figure of Index)
So calculating we have,
Return on Stock Market = -98.34 / ( 7,447.50 - (-98.34))
Return on Stock Market = -98.34 / 7,545.84
Return on Stock Market = - 0.0126
Return on Stock Market = -1.26%
The return of the stock market that day was approximately -1.31%.
To calculate the return of the stock market that day, we can use the formula for percentage return:
[tex]\[ \text{Percentage Return} = \left( \frac{\text{Change in Price}}{\text{Initial Price}} \right) \times 100 \][/tex]
Given that the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down by 98.34 points from the previous day's close to 7,447.50, we can calculate the initial price by adding the loss to the closing price:
[tex]\[ \text{Initial Price} = \text{Closing Price} + \text{Change in Price} \] \[ \text{Initial Price} = 7,447.50 + 98.34 \] \[ \text{Initial Price} = 7,545.84 \][/tex]
Now, we can calculate the percentage return:
[tex]\[ \text{Percentage Return} = \left( \frac{-98.34}{7,545.84} \right) \times 100 \] \[ \text{Percentage Return} = -0.01304 \times 100 \] \[ \text{Percentage Return} \approx -1.304\% \][/tex]
Rounding to two decimal places, the return of the stock market that day was approximately -1.31%.
A company has outstanding 11.00 million shares of $3.00 par common stock and 2.4 million shares of $7.00 par preferred stock. The preferred stock has an 8% dividend rate. The company declares $480,000 in total dividends for the year. Which of the following is correct if the preferred stockholders only have a current dividend preference?
a. Preferred stockholders will receive the entire $480,000, and they must also be paid $80,000 before the end of the current accounting period. Common stockholders will receive nothing.
b. Preferred stockholders will receive the entire $480,000, and they must also be paid $80,000 sometime in the future before common stockholders will receive anything.
c. Preferred stockholders will receive $38,400 or 8% of the total dividends. Common stockholders will receive the remaining $441,600.
d. Preferred stockholders will receive the entire $480,000, but will receive nothing more relating to this dividend declaration. Common stockholders will receive nothing.
Preferred stockholders will receive the entire $480,000, but will receive nothing more relating to this dividend declaration. Common stockholders will receive nothing. Thus, the correct answer is option d.
Who are preferred stockholders?Preferred shareholders have priority over a company's income, meaning they are paid dividends before common shareholders.
Preferred Stockholders are entitled to the dividend as follows:-
= 2,400,000 shares * $7.00 * 8%
= $1,344,000
They are entitled to $1,344,000 in dividends, but because the dividends declared do not total that amount, they will accept the entire amount declared.
However, because preferred stockholders only have a current dividend preference and not a cumulative dividend preference, they cannot claim the remaining balance in any other year. As the preferred stockholder takes the entire $480,000, common shareholders receive nothing this year.
Therefore, option D is correct if the preferred stockholders only have a current dividend preference.

D. Place excessive restrictions on employees
E. Hold back talented employees
F. Focus on promoting conflict

Disrespected bosses tend to use their authority to let others know their ideas since they transmit no inspiration because of who they are. It is the only form they can get subordinates' attention. Besides, when subordinates start to show leadership skills or special talents, the disrespected boss would minimize that individual in an attempt to keep his or her power and not to be replaced by that subordinat
