Answer:
all-current-rate method
Explanation:
The all-current-rate method is the method by which most items in the financial statements are translated at the current exchange rate
In current-rate-method,
the income statement is translated at the weighted average exchange rate,
assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate, issued capital stock is translated at the exchange rate.
The balance sheet must be balanced. Cumulative Translation Adjustment (CTA) balances the asset side of the balance sheet with the liabilities and owner’s equity side of the balance sheet.
You are the operations manager of a firm that uses the continuous-review inventory control system. Suppose the firm operates 52 weeks a year, 365 days, and has the following characteristics for its primary item:Demand = 450 units/per weekOrdering cost = $35/orderEOQ = 468 units What is the unit holding cost per year?A. Not greater than $3B. Greater than $3 but not greater than $6C. Greater than $6 but not greater than $9
Answer:
C. Greater than $6 but not greater than $9
Explanation:
The computation of the unit holding cost per year is shown below:
As we know that
[tex]Economic\ order\ quantity = \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex]
where,
Annual demand is 450 × 52 weeks = 23,400 units
Ordering cost is $35 per order
Economic order quantity is 468 units
Now placing these values to the above formula
[tex]468\ units = \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{23,400}\times \text{\$35}}{\text{Carrying\ cost}}}[/tex]
Now to find out the carrying cost, the calculation is given below:
= (2 × 450 units × $35) ÷ 468^2
= $7.48 per unit
The carrying cost is also known as holding cost
AFW Industries has 214 million shares outstanding and expects earnings at the end of this year of $ 723 million. AFW plans to pay out 59 % of its earnings in total, paying 40 % as a dividend and using 19 % to repurchase shares. If AFW's earnings are expected to grow by 8.4 % per year and these payout rates remain constant, determine AFW's share price assuming an equity cost of capital of 11.2 %
Answer:
32
Explanation:
32323
Final answer:
AFW Industries' share price can be calculated by finding the present value of future dividends and share repurchases using the equity cost of capital. After calculating the present value of dividends and share repurchases, we can add them together to find the total present value. Dividing the total present value by the number of shares outstanding gives us the share price. The number of shares outstanding: $33.64 per share.
Explanation:
To determine AFW Industries' share price, we need to calculate the present value of future dividends and share repurchases. First, we need to find the total dividends and share repurchases based on the payout rates. The dividend payout would be 723 million * 0.40 = 289.2 million, and the share repurchase would be 723 million * 0.19 = 137.37 million. The total payout would be 289.2 million + 137.37 million = 426.57 million.
To calculate the present value, we need to discount the future payouts using the equity cost of capital. The equity cost of capital is 11.2 percent, so we can use the formula PV = C / (1 + r)^n, where C is the cash flow, r is the discount rate, and n is the number of periods (years). Since AFW expects earnings to grow by 8.4% per year, we can assume a perpetual growth model.
The present value of dividends can be calculated as 289.2 million / (0.112 - 0.084) = 4.9 billion. The present value of share repurchases can be calculated as 137.37 million / (0.112 - 0.084) = 2.3 billion. Adding these present values together gives us a total present value of 4.9 billion + 2.3 billion = 7.2 billion. Finally, to find the share price, we divide the total present value by the number of shares outstanding: 7.2 billion / 214 million = $33.64 per share.

Company X is expected to earn $2.25 per share this quarter. Last quarter they earned $2.50 per share, and a year ago their earnings were $3.00 per share. Before the market opened this morning, they announced earnings of $2.30 per share. If there is no other news about this stock, and leaving out what the market as a whole is expected to do today, what should happen to the price of the stock when the market opens.
Answer:
Price of the stock will go up
Explanation:
In order to predict future movements of stock prices, analysts use reported quarterly earnings, usually in the forms of earnings per share. However, analyst's estimation is only opinion, that may differ from what would really happen. If company's earnings exceed their own estimations, as in this case, we could expect stock value to rise. However, in the case where actual earnings are a bit lower than projected ones, the price of the stock will drop.
Walters manufactures a specialty food product that can currently be sold for $22 per unit and has 20,000 units on hand. Alternatively, it can be further processed at a cost of $12,000 and converted into 12,000 units of Deluxe and 6,000 units of Super. The selling price of Deluxe and Super are $30 and $20, respectively. The incremental net income of processing further would be:
Answer:
$28,000
Explanation:
The computation of incremental net income is shown below:-
Deluxe = 12,000 × $30
= $ 360,000
Super = 6,000 × $20
= $120,000
Total sales value = Deluxe + Super
= $ 360,000 + $120,000
= $480,000
Deduct amount = Total sales value - Further processing cost
= $480,000 - $12,000
= $468,000
Incremental net income after further processing = Deduct amount - sales value before further processing
= $468,000 - (20,000 × $22)
= $28,000
So, for computing the incremental net income of processing further we simply applied the above formula.

Answer:
The correct answer is b. would be copyright infringement.
Explanation:
Any copy of information for publication without the author's consent means an infringement of copyright, since the information is presented as if it were the company's own when it is not. In order for this situation not to occur, the company is required to notify the author of the intention to communicate the information and receive authorization to carry it out.
Answer: b. would be copyright infringement.
Explanation:
Copyright infringement is the use of works protected by copyright law without permission for a usage where such permission is required, thereby infringing certain exclusive rights granted to the copyright holder, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the protected work, or to make derivative works.
Copyright infringement is using someone else's work without getting that person's permission. The owner of a copyright gets to decide who can legally make copies of that work. It is illegal to copy large sections of someone else's copyrighted work without permission, even if you give the original author credit.
Other examples of copyright infringement include:
1. Downloading movies and music without proper payment for use.
2. Recording movies in a theater.
3.Using others' photographs for a blog without permission.
4. Copying software code without giving proper credit.
5. Creating videos with unlicensed music clips.

Barnes Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with 14 years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and a price of $958. At this price, the bonds yield 8.9 percent. What must the coupon rate be on the bonds
Answer:
8.36%
Explanation:
To find out the coupon rate, first we have to determine the PMT which is shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $958
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 8.9%
NPER = 14 years
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(Rate;NPER;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this, the yearly payment is $83.64
Now the coupon rate is
= $83.64 ÷ $1,000
= 8.36%
At least six months before the Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia, Stafford Fontenot and four others agreed to sell Cajun food at the games and began making preparations. On May 19, the group (calling themselves "Prairie Cajun Seafood Catering of Louisiana") applied for a business license from the county health department. Later, Ted Norris sold a mobile kitchen to them for $40,000. They gave Norris an $8,000 check drawn on the "Prairie Cajun Seafood Catering of Louisiana" account and two promissory notes, one for $12,000 and the other for $20,000. The notes, which were dated June 12, listed only Fontenot "d/b/a Prairie Cajun Seafood" as the maker (d/b/a is an abbreviation for "doing business as"). On July 31, Fontenot and his friends signed a partnership agreement, which listed specific percentages of profits and losses. They drove the mobile kitchen to Atlanta, but business was "disastrous." When the notes were not paid, Norris filed a suit in a Louisiana state court against Fontenot, seeking payment. (See Formation and Operation.) a. The first group will discuss the elements of a partnership and determine whether a partnership exists among Fontenot and the others. b. The second group will determine who can be held liable on the notes and why.
Answer:
See the explanation for the answer.
Explanation:
To be considered a partnership, a business relationship must meet the following criteria;
1, the parties must have consented to form a partnership and to share in business's profits and losses.
2. The parties must jointly own the ventures
3. The parties must have equal right to manage the operation.
a)
Here, several months before the Olympics, F and his friends agree to sell Cajun food in Atlanta and applied for a license as a group. Although, a written partnership agreement was not sign until a couple of months later. F and his friends had a oral agreement to form an association and to work together towards a common goal until they bought the mobile kitchen. The written agreement contains specific divisions of profits and losses. Thus, a partnership existed between F and his friends.
(b) In signing the notes to buy the kitchen, N received an $8,000 check drawn on "C food" account and two promissory notes as well as P as the maker. which is partnership firm of F and his friends. F was acting on behave of this partnership in this deal. Therefore, partnership is liable on the notes.

January 11,900
February 18,700
March 13,600
April 14,700
May 10,300
June 7,100
Required: a. & b. Estimate purchases (in units) and cash required to make purchases in January, February, and March.
Purchases in units is 30,900 units
Purchases amount is $92,700
Explanation:
The purchases in January is the sales estimate plus the desired ending inventory minus the opening stock of inventory.
The desired closing inventory in the sense implies three months future sales units i.e February,March and April sales units.
Sales in January 11,900
desired closing inventory(18,700+13,600+14,700)47,000
Total required units 58,900
Opening stock of inventory 28,000
Total purchases 30,900
Total purchases in dollar terms=purchases units*sales price per unit
sales price per unit is $3
total purchases in dollar terms=$3*30,900=$92,700
Suppose there are 100 workers in the economy in which all workers must choose to work a risky or a safe job. Worker 1's reservation for accepting the risky job is $1; worker 2's reservation price is $2, and so on. Because of technological reasons, there are only 10 risky jobs.
A. What is the equilibrium wage differential between safe and risky jobs? Which workers will be employed at the risky firm?
B. Suppose now that an advertising campaign, paid for by the employers who offer risky jobs, stresses the excitement associated with "the thrill of injury," and this campaign changes the attitudes of the work force toward being employed in a risky job. Worker 1 has a reservation price of -$10 (that is, she is willing to pay $10 for the right to work in a risky job); worker 2's reservation price is -$9, and so on. There are still only 10 risky jobs. What is the new equilibrium wage differential?
C. Show a supply and demand for risky jobs diagram to represent the situations in question a and b.
Final answer:
The equilibrium wage differential between safe and risky jobs depends on the workers' reservation prices and the number of risky jobs available. In the first scenario, if the 10th worker's reservation price is $10, then the equilibrium wage differential would be $10. In the second scenario, if the 10th worker's reservation price is -$1, then the new equilibrium wage differential would be -$1.
Explanation:
The equilibrium wage differential between safe and risky jobs can be determined by looking at the workers' reservation prices and the number of risky jobs available. In this scenario, there are 100 workers and 10 risky jobs. The equilibrium wage differential will be determined by the reservation price of the 10th worker, as the risky jobs are filled starting from the worker with the lowest reservation price. So, if the 10th worker's reservation price is $10, then the equilibrium wage differential between safe and risky jobs would be $10.
In the second scenario, where the workers' reservation prices for risky jobs change and become negative, the equilibrium wage differential would also change. Since there are still only 10 risky jobs available, the equilibrium wage differential would be determined by the reservation price of the 10th worker who gets employed at the risky firm. If the 10th worker's reservation price is -$1, then the new equilibrium wage differential would be -$1.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to provide diagrams in this format. However, you can represent the situation using a supply and demand graph, where the demand curve represents the number of risky jobs demanded at different wage differentials, and the supply curve represents the number of workers willing to take risky jobs at different wage differentials.
David considers himself to be a responsible and safe driver. He has never been in an accident and never received a speeding ticket. He is looking for the minimal amount of automobile insurance possible. Which type of coverage best fits David's goals
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": liability coverage.
Explanation:
Liability coverage is the type of insurance that takes care of damages of other parties involved in a car accident rather than its policyholder. Most liability coverages are inexpensive since the damages the insurance company covers have a limit. Vehicle damages and medical bills as a result of an accident are typical expenses covered by liability coverage. In some cases, it covers a rental car for the other party affected if the vehicle is not drivable after the collision.
Snoke Inc's current price is $100 and the price is expected to rise to $110 in one year. The dividends are paid annually and the next dividend will be $6.00 per share. What is the expected stock return?
Answer:
Expected stock Return = 16%
Explanation:
The return of a stock is calculated by subtracting ending stock price to ending stock price and add adding and income distributions made during the period and divide by the stock price at beginning
Current stock price = $100
Expected stock price = $110
Dividends = $6
So in Snoke Inc's the only income distributions are dividends
Return = Ending stock price - Current stock price + dividends/Current stock price
=110-100+6/100
=0.16/16%
What is a consequence of ending a performance appraisal interview on a negative note? Both the supervisor and employee may develop deflated egos. The supervisor who conducted the interview may develop a deflated ego. The employee whose performance was appraised may develop a deflated ego. None of these
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": The employee whose performance was appraised may develop a deflated ego.
Explanation:
Appraisal interviews are conducted to discuss the performance of employees. The company sets a standard of how the duties of workers must be developed and employees are evaluated based on those guidelines. The closer the employee method or woking is to the company's standards, the possibilities of scoring higher increase.
However, not all employees end up with a good score after appraisals. Those who are provided with negative notes typically develop a deflated ego since their performance was qualified as lacking. Managers must follow up on these workers to make sure they are not discouraged and that they accomplish the objectives their roles demand.
On January 1, 20X4, Polar Corp. paid $104,000 for $100,000 par value, 9% bonds of Seal Corp. Seal had issued $300,000 of the 10-year bonds on January 1, 20X2 for $360,000. The bonds pay interest semi-annually. Polar had previously purchased 80% of the common stock of Seal on January 1, 20X1, at underlying book value. Polar reported operating income (excluding income from subsidiaries) of $50,000 and Seal reported net income of $30,000 for 20X4. Both companies use straight-line amortization. What amount of interest expense and gain/loss should be included in the 20X4 consolidated income statement
Answer:
$14,000
Explanation:
Amount of interest expense = [(Bond issued by 'S' company x 9%) - Amount of
premium x (unsold bonds / Bonds issued)]
= (300,000 x 0.09) - 60000/10 x 200,000/300,000
= (27,000 - 6000) x 0.66667
= 21,000 x 0.66667
= $14,000
For the 20X4 consolidated income statement:
Interest expense should be[tex]\$15,500.[/tex]
No gain or loss related to the bonds should be recognized.
1. Calculate the amortization of the bond premium/discount:
Seal Corp.'s Bonds:
Issued amount: $360,000
Par value: [tex]\$300,000[/tex]
Premium: [tex]\$360,000 - \$300,000 = \$60,000[/tex]
Life of bonds: [tex]10[/tex] years ([tex]20[/tex] semi-annual periods)
Annual amortization of the premium:
[tex]\[ \frac{\$60,000}{20} = \$3,000 \][/tex]
Semi-annual amortization of the premium:
[tex]\[ \frac{\$3,000}{2} = \$1,500 \][/tex]
2. Determine Seal Corp.'s interest expense:
Seal Corp. pays interest semi-annually on the par value of the bonds:
[tex]\[ \$300,000 \times 9\% = \$27,000 \] (annual interest)[/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Semi-annual interest payment} = \$27,000 / 2 = \$13,500 \][/tex]
Adjust for the amortization of the premium:
[tex]\[ \text{Annual interest expense} = \$27,000 - \$3,000 = \$24,000 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Semi-annual interest expense} = \$13,500 - \$1,500 = \$12,000 \][/tex]
Total interest expense for 20X4:
[tex]\[ 2 \times \$12,000 = \$24,000 \][/tex]
3. Calculate Polar Corp.'s interest income:
Polar purchased [tex]\$100,000[/tex] par value bonds at [tex]\$104,000[/tex], indicating a premium of [tex]\$4,000.[/tex]
Annual amortization of Polar's premium:
[tex]\[ \frac{\$4,000}{8} = \$500 \][/tex]
Semi-annual amortization of the premium:
[tex]\[ \frac{\$500}{2} = \$250 \][/tex]
Semi-annual interest income for Polar:
[tex]\[ \$4,500 - \$250 = \$4,250 \][/tex]
Total interest income for 20X4:
[tex]\[ 2 \times \$4,250 = \$8,500 \][/tex]
4. Consolidate and eliminate intercompany transactions:
When consolidating, the intercompany interest expense and income need to be eliminated:
Seal's interest expense:
[tex]\[ \$24,000 \][/tex]
Polar's interest income:
[tex]\[ \$8,500 \][/tex]
The intercompany interest expense and income should be eliminated, so:
[tex]\[ \text{Consolidated interest expense} = \$24,000 - \$8,500 = \$15,500 \][/tex]
Gain/Loss on Bonds:
There is no gain or loss to be recognized in the consolidated income statement related to the bonds, as the purchase price and carrying amount adjustments are amortized and included in the interest expense and income calculations.

Budgetary Performance for Cost Center Suwanee Company's costs were under budget by $59,700. The company is divided into North and South regions. The North Region’s costs were over budget by $4,200. Determine the amount that the South Region’s costs were over or under budget.
Answer
The South's budget was under budgeted by $63,900
Explanation
The sum of the north and south division equals that of the entire Company.
Company's budget = North + South budget
Let us represent the value of the south budget by y
(59,700) = 4,200 + y
y = -59,700 - 4200
y = 63,900
The South's budget was under budgeted by $63,900
Maxwell Mining Company's ore reserves are being depleted, so its sales are falling. Also, because its pit is getting deeper each year, its costs are rising. As a result, the company's earnings and dividends are declining at the constant rate of 10% per year. If D0 = $6 and rs = 15%, what is the value of Maxwell Mining's stock? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Answer:
The current value of stock is $21.60 per share.
Explanation:
The current value of the stock whose dividends are growing/declining at a constant rate can be calculated using the constant growth model of DDM.
The growth will be taken as a negative percentage in case the growth rate is falling. So, g will be g= -0.1 or -10%. The formula for price under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / ( r - g)
Where,
D0 * (1+g) is the dividend expected for the next period or D1r is the required rate of returng is the growth rateTaking g as -0.1.
P0 = 6 ( 1 - 0.1) / (0.15 + 0.1)
P0 = $ 21.60
To find the value of Maxwell Mining Company's stock, we can calculate the present value of its future earnings and dividends by using the present value formula. The stock price per share is approximately $256,500.
Explanation:To find the value of Maxwell Mining Company's stock, we need to calculate the present value of its future earnings and dividends. Given that D0 (current dividend) is $6 and rs (required rate of return) is 15%, we can use the present value formula to determine the stock value. Assuming the constant decline in earnings and dividends at a rate of 10% per year, we can calculate the present value of total profits and divide it by the number of shares to arrive at the price per share. In this case, the price per share should be approximately $256,500.

Standahl Air uses two measures of activity, flights and passengers, in the cost formulas in its budgets and performance reports. The cost formula for plane operating costs is $41,490 per month plus $2,839 per flight plus $23 per passenger. The company expected its activity in August to be 101 flights and 313 passengers, but the actual activity was 104 flights and 316 passengers. The actual cost for plane operating costs in August was $265,190. The plane operating costs in the planning budget for August would be closest to: Multiple Choice $265,190 $335,428 $344,014 $324,110
Answer:
$335,428
Explanation:
The computation of the plane operating cost is shown below:
Plane Operating Cost = Fixed cost + (Variable cost per unit × quantity) + (Variable cost per unit × quantity)
= $41,490 + ( $2,839 × 101 flights) + ($23 × 313 passengers)
= $41,490 + $286,739 + $7,199
= $335,428
We only considered the planned activity as we have to compute the plane operating cost for the planning budget
Exercise 15-2 On January 1, 2017, Klosterman Company issued $420,000, 12%, 10-year bonds at face value. Interest is payable annually on January 1. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds.
Answer:
The journal entry to record the bond issuance is shown below:
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the bond issuance is as:
Cash A/c.............................................Dr $420,000
Bonds Payable A/c......................Cr $420,000
Being the bonds issued
As the bonds are issued by the company so cash is coming into the business, which is an asset and any increase in asset is debited. Therefore, the cash account is debited. And cash is received against the bonds payable, so the account of bonds payable is credited.
You buy a share of stock, write a 1-year call option with X = $55, and buy a 1-year put option with X = $55. Your net outlay to establish the entire portfolio is $54. The stock pays no dividends. a. What is the payoff of your portfolio?
Final answer:
The payoff of a hedged portfolio created by purchasing stock, writing a call option, and buying a put option with the same exercise price and a net outlay will depend on the stock price at option expiration. The maximum loss is limited to the net outlay, and the potential gain occurs if the stock price is below the exercise price, limited to $1 per share.
Explanation:
The scenario involves building a hedged portfolio by purchasing a share of stock, writing a 1-year call option, and buying a 1-year put option, all with the same exercise price of $55, and a net outlay of $54. The payoff of this portfolio will vary depending on the stock's price at the expiration of the options.
If the stock's price is above $55, the call option will be exercised, and you will have to sell the stock at $55, leading to a capital gain equivalent to $55 minus the net outlay. However, since you are also holding the stock, any amount above $55 at which you could sell the stock is forfeited due to the call option.If the stock's price is below $55, the put option can be exercised, allowing you to sell the stock for $55 regardless of the lower market price. Your gain will be $55 minus the net outlay.If the stock's price is exactly $55, neither the call nor the put option will be exercised, and your position will be neutral, with the stock's value equal to the exercise price.Thus, the payoff of this portfolio will be a maximum loss of the net outlay ($54) if the stock price is at or above the exercise price, and a potential gain if the stock price falls below the exercise price, limited to the difference between $55 and the $54 outlay.
An example of a difference in types of business combination is: A. A statutory merger can only be effected by a capital stock acquisition while a statutory consolidation can only be effected by an asset acquisition. B. A statutory merger requires dissolution of the acquired company while a statutory consolidation does not require dissolution. C. A statutory merger can only be effected by an asset acquisition while a statutory consolidation can only be effected by a capital stock acquisition. D. A statutory consolidation requires dissolution of the acquired company while a statutory merger does not require dissolution.
Answer:
B. A Statutory merger requires dissolution of the acquired company while a statutory consolidation does not require dissolution.
Explanation:
A statutory merger refers to collaboration between two entities wherein one entity i.e the acquiring firm gets entitled to continue it's legal existence while the weak company or the acquired company's identity is lost.
In case of statutory consolidation, it is a kind of merger wherein, the merged entities lose their identity and an altogether new entity is formed to take over the assets and liabilities.
In case of statutory merger, the acquiring company takes over the business and assets and liabilities of the acquired company whereas under consolidation, the assets and liabilities of both the entities are pooled together and taken over by a new entity which is created.
Federal and state governments may oppose and disallow any of the two mergers if they believe, such mergers would lead to anti competitive practices and creation of monopolies.
Marsha’s Pet Store employs six employees. Their duties are to sell pets, replenish the stock, keep the pets’ cages clean, feed the pets, and maintain good records. Marsha pays a fixed hourly rate and a commission on sales of pets. Lately, Marsha has been finding that the records have not been well maintained and the stock has not been replenished. However, pet sales are good and the pets’ cages are clean. Based on the above facts, state whether the following statement is true or false. Marsha may consider changing the scheme to include careful performance of the other duties before any sales commission can be earned. True False
Answer: True.
Explanation:
People sometimes have a tendency of doing only what they are told to do or only what they are paid for. This is why most people who progress in a company do so on the basis of having done work that was not in their description, but would have helped the company progress.
It would appear that Marsha's 6 employees are all of the caliber of employees who just do what they are told and nothing more.
For this reason therefore, she would include a stipulation changing the scheme to include careful performance of the other duties before any sales commission can be earned. This way they'll start to do those other things since they are now paid to do so.
Jorge is willing and able to pay up to $25 for an authentic autograph of Michael Jordan that he buys for $20. Melissa requires a minimum price of $16 before she will sell the autograph to Jorge. In this situation, the consumer's surplus is _____ and the producer's surplus is ____.
Answer:
Consumer's surplus is $5 and the producer's surplus is $4.
Explanation:
1) Consumer surplus is the extra amount a consumer is willing to pay for a product above the price they actually do pay.
Consumer surplus = maximum price willing to pay – actual price
Maximum price willing to pay = $25
Actual price = $20
Consumer surplus = $25 – $20
Consumer surplus = $5
Therefore, the customer saved $5 as a consumer surplus which he/she can spend on some other goods or services.
2) Producer surplus is the difference between what price producers are willing and able to sell a good for and what price they actually receive from consumers (market price).
Producer surplus = Actual price – minimum price willing to accept
Actual price = $20
Minimum price willing to accept = $16
Producer surplus = $20 – $16
Producer surplus = $4.
Sufficient Dwelling Coverage? Colton Gentry of Lancaster, California, has owned his home for ten years. When he purchased it for $178,000, Colton bought a $160,000 homeowner's insurance policy. He still owns that policy, even though the replacement cost of the home is now $300,000.a. If Colton suffered a $15,000 fire loss to the home, what percentage of the loss would be covered by his policy? Round your answer to one decimal place 89.9 What dollar amount of the loss would be covered by his policy? Enter the amount of the loss as a positive number. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $13485 b. How much insurance on the home should Colton carry now to be fully reimbursed for a fire loss? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $125000 Hide Feedback Incorrect Check My Work (No more tries available)
In the event of a $15,000 fire loss, Colton's current insurance policy would cover only 53.3% of his loss, meaning he would receive only $8,000 from the insurance company. If he wants to fully insure his home for any damages due to fires, he should carry an insurance that matches his current home replacement cost, which is $300,000.
Explanation:The subject of this problem is insurance coverage, specifically dwelling coverage for homeowners. Dwelling coverage ensures that a home gets rebuilt or repaired in case of damage resulting from factors like fire or hail.
Let's tackle the two parts of the question. a. In Colton's case, his current policy covers $160,000 while the total replacement cost of his home is now $300,000. Hence, his coverage is partial and proportional. If he suffered a $15,000 fire loss, the percentage of the loss covered by his current policy would be given by (coverage amount / total replacement cost) * loss which translates to ($160,000/$300,000) * $15,000 = $8,000. This means 53.3% of his loss (approx) would be covered and Colton would personally bear the rest.
b. If Colton wants to fully cover his home from any loss due to fire, he should carry insurance that matches his home replacement cost, i.e., $300,000. Then, the insurance would fully cover his loss and he would not bear any out of pocket expenses in events like fires.

Perez, Inc. recently completed 40,000 units of a product that was expected to consume six pounds of direct material per finished unit. The standard price of the direct material was $7.50 per pound. If the firm purchased and consumed 246,000 pounds in manufacturing (cost = $1,881,000), the direct-material quantity variance would be (with steps)
Answer:
$45,000 Unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of direct-material quantity variance is shown below:-
Direct Material Quantity Variance = Standard Rate × (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity Used for Actual Production)
= $7.50 × (246,000 - 40,000 × 6)
= $7.50 × (246,000 - 240,000)
= $7.50 × 6,000
= $45,000 Unfavorable
Therefore for computing the direct-material quantity variance we simply applied the above formula.
A local kayak outfitter has been looking over the latest data from the Census, which reported that income in the area where the outfitter is based has increased by 20%. If the outfitter then tells you that her sales increased by 10%, what would be the income elasticity of demand and how would you interpret it
Answer:
The income elasticity of demand is 0.5
The Outfitter's products are a normal good and a necessity as the YED is positive and between 0 and 1 respectively.
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand (YED) measures the responsiveness of demand for a product to changes in income of the people. It traces how changes in income bring about a change in demand for a product. The formula for YED is,
YED = % Change in Quantity demanded / %Change in Income
YED = 10% / 20% = 0.5
The income elasticity of demand for the outfitter is a positive 0.5 which represents that the outfitters products are a normal good as the YED is positive and an increase in income bring about an increase in demand.
Moreover, am income elasticity of demand between 0 and 1 represents goods which are considered to be a necessity and the demand for these goods rises at a lower percentage than the change in income. As, the YED for the outfitter is 0.5, it is a necessity.
Answer:
a)
Income elasticity of demand = 0.5.
b)
it implies that a change in income by a given percentage would produce a 50% change in the quantity of demand.
Explanation:
The income elasticity of demand measures the degree of responsiveness of demand for a product to a change in the consumer income.
If a change in consumer income by a given percentage produces a less than a proportionate change in quantity demand , the income elasticity of demand is inelastic . It is elastic if the reverse is the case
Income elasticity of demand =
=% change in demand/ % change in income
=10%/20%
= 0.5.
it implies that a change in income by a given percentage would produce a 50% change in the quantity of demand. For example, if income decreases by 100%, the quantity demand will decrease by just 50%
At Lone Star Construction, accident rates have been high over the last six months, so the owners are providing a training program to employees. The objective of the accident prevention program is to reduce the number and severity of accidents by 15 percent. The firm will compare accident rates before and after training in order to measure the success of the program. This is most likely an example of what level of T&D evaluation?
Answer:
According to Kirkpatrick's model of T&D Evaluation, the level which involves comparing before end after effect is Level 3
Explanation:
Training and development involves improving the effectiveness of organizations and the individuals and teams within them.
At Lone Star Construction, the type of training program proposed is an accident prevention program is to reduce the number and severity of accidents by 15 percent.
The level of T&D evaluation which involves comparing accident rates before and after training in order to measure success according to Kirk Patrick's model is Level 3.
Level 3 evaluation involves both pre- and post-event measurement and the degree to which participants' behaviors change as a result of the training and evaluates whether the knowledge and skills from the training are applied on the job.
The level of T&D evaluation depicted in Lone Star Construction's training program is the results-based criteria level, focusing on reducing accidents by 15 percent in measurable outcomes. Training effectiveness is gauged through practical comparisons of accident rates before and after the program, aligning with performance-oriented standards.
Explanation:The training program introduced at Lone Star Construction to reduce the number and severity of accidents by 15 percent can be evaluated at multiple levels. However, the most fitting level of Training and Development (T&D) evaluation for this scenario is results-based criteria. This particular level of evaluation focuses on the measurable outcomes such as reductions in accident rates, which is exactly what the firm intends to do in their comparison before and after the training. Studies, like those by Arthur, Bennett, Edens, and Bell (2003), have shown that training can be effective when evaluated on factors including behavioral changes and results-based criteria like productivity or safety improvements.
By setting a clear objective of reducing accidents by a quantifiable percentage, Lone Star Construction takes a performance-oriented approach. This approach allows the firm to measure the success of the training program in practical and definitive terms, which is in line with economic principles favoring standards that grant flexibility over strict command-and-control regulations. The fact that the firm will compare accident rates before and after the program is an indicative measure of the effectiveness of the training received by the employees.
Ruiz Co. provides the following sales forecast for the next four months. April May June July Sales (units) 500 580 540 620 The company wants to end each month with ending finished goods inventory equal to 25% of next month’s forecasted sales. Finished goods inventory on April 1 is 190 units. Prepare a production budget for the months of April, May, and June.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
April= 500
May= 580
June= 540
July= 620
Finished goods inventory on April 1 is 190 units
Desired ending inventory= 25% next month sales.
To calculate the production for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
April:
Sales= 500
Desire ending inventory= (580*0.25)= 145
Beginning inventory= (190)
Total production= 455 units
May:
Sales= 580
Desire ending inventory= (540*0.25)= 135
Beginning inventory= (145)
Total production= 570 units
June:
Sales= 540
Desire ending inventory= (620*0.25)= 155
Beginning inventory= (135)
Total production= 560 units
The production budget for Ruiz Co. for April, May, and June involves calculating the required monthly production to meet sales forecasts while also maintaining ending inventories at 25% of the next month’s forecasted sales. The calculations lead to required production of 455 units in April, 570 units in May, and 560 units in June.
The question requires calculating a production budget for Ruiz Co. for the months of April, May, and June, considering its sales forecast and the desire to maintain ending finished goods inventory at 25% of the next month’s forecasted sales.
April Production: We start with April's forecast of 500 units and aim for an ending inventory of 25% of May's forecast (580 units), which is 145 units. Considering the starting inventory of 190 units, the production needed is 500 - 190 + 145 = 455 units.May Production: May forecasts 580 units and desires an ending inventory of 25% of June's forecast (540 units), equating to 135 units. The required production is 580 - 145 + 135 = 570 units, accounting for April's ending inventory as the starting point for May.June Production: June expects 540 units with an ending inventory of 25% of July's forecast (620 units), which is 155 units. Thus, the production needed is 540 - 135 + 155 = 560 units.By ensuring inventories match 25% of the subsequent month's sales forecasts, Ruiz Co. effectively plans its production to meet both current sales and future inventory requirements.
