Answer:
The correct answer is D. Best method.
Explanation:
As a result of the BEPS Action Plan, as well as the Report on Actions 8 through 10 called “Ensure that the results of transfer prices are in line with the creation of value,” some considerations on the application of the CUP to transactions involving raw materials, commodities or commodities. These considerations were included in the 2017 update of the OECD Guidelines. In this sense, the update of the guidelines apart from establishing certain recommendations for their application, confirms that the CUP is generally the most appropriate method to establish the price of free competition in the transfer of commodities.
Despite the observed evolution of the OECD Guidelines in relation to traditional transactional methods, the increasing integration of multinational companies has made the identification of comparable transactions more difficult, making the application of these methods less common and opening the door to the application of methods based on profitability, without detriment of carrying out the due process of evaluation of the method that best applies to the analysis of the specific taxpayer transaction.

Beranek Corp has $855,000 of assets (which equal total invested capital), and it uses no debt—it is financed only with common equity. The new CFO wants to employ enough debt to raise the total debt to total capital ratio to 40%, using the proceeds from borrowing to buy back common stock at its book value. How much must the firm borrow to achieve the target debt ratio?
Answer:
To achieve the target debt ratio the firm must borrow $342,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Total invested capital = $855,000
Required Debt to total capital ratio = 40%
Now,
The Debt to total capital ratio is calculated as:
= [ Debt ÷ Total invested capital ] × 100%
thus,
according to the question
40% = [ Debt ÷ $855,000 ] × 100%
or
Debt ÷ $855,000 = 0.40
or
Debt = 0.40 × $855,000
or
Debt = $342,000
Hence,
To achieve the target debt ratio the firm must borrow $342,000
The major difference between the indirect and the direct method of a statement of cash flows appears in which the following activities section(s)?
A. The investing activities and financing activities sections.
B. The investing activities section only.
C. The operating activities and financing activities sections.
D. The operating activities section only.
Answer: Option D
Explanation: In simple words, operating activities refers to the activities that are related to the core operation of the business.
While preparing cash flow statement from the method, the accountant records the inflow and outflow of the activities directly, however, in case of applying the indirect method the accountant takes the accrual basis to cash basis accounting transactions into consideration.
While preparing cash flow statement other two sections are prepared in a same way in which all the inflows and outflows are recorded directly.
Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is D.

A government deficit has decreased from 100 to 60. The country's trade deficit is 120 and private savings equal 80 and investment equals 100. If Ricardian neutrality holds true, after this change in the government's budget, private savings will equal:
Answer:
40
Explanation:
According to Ricardian theory, any change in budgets deficits or surpluses should be completely offset by an equal change in private savings.
In this case, the original amount of private savings was 80, but since the budget deficit decreased by 40, then the private saving should also decrease by 40. The total private saving = 80 - 40 = 40
Final answer:
In an economy where Ricardian equivalence holds, if the government deficit decreases, private savings will decrease by the same amount to maintain the national saving and investment identity. For the student's scenario, the new private savings level would be 40.
Explanation:
The student is asking a question about the Ricardian equivalence and its implications for private savings in the context of the national saving and investment identity. Ricardian equivalence is an economic theory which suggests that when a government increases its deficit, rational agents will increase their savings to offset the government's increased borrowing, under the expectation that taxes will increase in the future to pay back the debt. In this scenario, given an initial budget deficit of 50, a trade deficit of 20, private savings of 130, and investment of 100, if the budget deficit rises to 70, Ricardian equivalence would mean that private savings will increase by the amount of the increase in the budget deficit, which is 20, to maintain the national saving and investment identity.
According to this theory, if the government deficit decreases from 100 to 60, then private saving will decrease by the same amount. In the context of the student's figures, private savings were originally 80. If the government deficit has decreased by 40, then the new private savings level will be 80 - 40 = 40. This adjustment ensures that the twin deficits, a trade deficit of 120 and a reduced government deficit of 60, along with the new private savings of 40 and investment of 100, align with the national saving and investment identity.
If the price for a product produced in a competitive market increases, which of the following is most likely to occur in the labor market for workers who produce that product?
a. The demand for labor and the number of workers hired both increase.
b. The supply of labor and the number of workers hired both increase.
c. The demand for labor and the number of workers hired both decrease.
d. The supply of labor and the number of workers hired both decrease.
e. There is a movement along the demand for labor curve, and firms hire more workers.
Answer:
A. The demand for labor and the number of workers hired both increase.
Final answer:
In response to an increase in the product's price, the demand for labor increases, leading to more workers being hired to meet the higher production needs. The correct answer is (a) The demand for labor and the number of workers hired both increase.
Explanation:
When the price for a product increases in a competitive market, the profitability of producing that product also rises. This typically leads to a scenario where companies want to produce more of the high-priced product to maximize profits. As a result, the demand for labor to produce that product will likely increase because more workers are needed to ramp up production.
This increased demand for labor will lead to a rightward shift in the demand curve for labor in that industry. Consequently, companies will be willing to hire more workers and potentially at higher wages to attract the necessary workforce. Therefore, it can be inferred that the demand for labor and the number of workers hired both increase as firms respond to the higher price by seeking to produce more of the product.
The correct choice reflecting this outcome is:
(a) The demand for labor and the number of workers hired both increase.
It is not the supply of labor that initially increases in this scenario; rather, it's the demand for labor by firms. While an increase in wages might attract more workers to the labor market in the longer term, the immediate effect is an increase in labor demand. The increase in hired workers happens because firms are responding to the increased demand by seeking to expand production, necessitating more labor.

An approach to managing organizations that likens organizations to machines, with a focus on maximizing efficiency, is called the __________ human relations approach. human resources approach. classical management approach. systems approach.
Answer:
Classical Management Approach.
Explanation:
The classic approach to management emerged as a management model founded by Taylor in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, called scientific management, whose ultimate goal was to maximize productive efficiency in order to get the worker to produce more in less time.
Scientific management presents four fundamental principles proposed by Taylor:
Principle of planning : Substitution of empirical methods by scientific methods, there is a rationalization of work through time and execution studies.Principle of worker preparation : Workers should be selected to work in areas according to their abilities and should be adequately trained so that they can produce more according to the demands of the organization.Principle of Execution : It requires tasks and responsibilities to be distributed so that the work is performed with greater rigor and discipline within an established average time. From this came job and job designs that split functions to maximize productivity.Standardization: Scientific methods were implemented to reduce costs and uniformity. The work is overseen by a number of expert supervisors and the man is seen as being economical, who is motivated to produce more when he receives monetary rewards.Carlos Suarez has been hired as sales manager at a new firm and is trying to come up with a sales force compensation method. He would like to have selling expenses relate directly to sales resources, an aggressive sales force, and minimization of non-selling tasks. What compensation method(s) would best fulfill his requirements?a. Salary plus bonusb. Straight salaryc. Combination salary plus fringe benefitsd. Straight commission
Answer:
D) Straight commission
Explanation:
When a company uses the straight commission compensation method, it pays no fixed salary to its salespeople, instead all the salespeople's salaries are calculated based on a percentage of their total sales. This means that a salesperson is paid according to his/her performance, if they sell a lot, they will earn a lot.
Revenue & Sales Corporation and Software, Inc., enter into a contract for the design of custom software for which Revenue & Sales agrees to pay $64,500. Software transfers the right to payment under the contract to CreditLine LLC. This transfer is:_____________

The assignor transfers rights or benefits to another party, but duties and obligations are not transferable.
Revenue & Sales corporation is the assignor and Creditline LLC is the assignee. Revenue & Sales transferred the benefits of this contract, the $64,500, to CreditLine. But the assignor still has to design the software.
"Preannounced, stable policies to achieve a low and constant money supply growth and a balanced federal budget are therefore the best way to lower the inflation rate." This statement best illustrates the: a. Keynesian theory. b. incomes policy. c. supply-side theory. d. rational expectations theory.
Answer:
D) rational expectations theory.
Explanation:
The rational expectations economic theory states that the expectations of the population about how the economy is working, will actually influence the economy in a way that these expectations tend to become a reality.
For example, if people expect that the economy is going to fall into a recession they will try to save money and spend less. Because the population starts to save money and spend less the economy will slip into a recession.
The same applies the other way around, if the population is happy and confident about how the economy is doing, they will increase their spending and keep the economy growing.
We have to remember that almost 70% of the economy is private consumption and any small change in private consumption can lift or sink an economy.
Q 13.18: Which of the following statements is correct? A : Service companies prepare budget data using an expected input approach while manufacturers prepare budget data using an expected output approach. B : The budgets of service companies are approved by voters. C : The production budget is derived from the direct materials and direct labor budget. D : In the budget process for not-for-profit organizations, the emphasis is on cash flow rather than on revenue and expenses.
Answer: The correct answer is " D: In the budget process for not-for-profit organizations, the emphasis is on cash flow rather than on revenue and expenses.".
Explanation: The statement "D : In the budget process for not-for-profit organizations, the emphasis is on cash flow rather than on revenue and expenses." is correct because, as they are nonprofit organizations, the goal is not to generate an economic benefit, therefore Focus is placed on cash flow to ensure that the organization will be able to meet its commitments and obligations.
Travis bought a share of stock for $31.50, the stock paid a dividend of $0.85, and Travis sold it six months later for $27.65. What were his dollar profit or loss and his holding period return?
Answer:
Dollar profit loss = $3
Holding period return = negative 9%
Explanation:
In order to find the dollar profit or loss return we will add the dividend and selling price because that the dividend plus the selling price is the cash that Travis receives or the positive cash and we will subtract the buying price from it because it is the negative cash flow. So we will add all the positive cash flows and subtract negative cash flow from it in order to find the dollar profit loss or return.
Selling price = 27.65
Dividend = 0.85
Selling price + Dividend= 28.5
Selling price = 31.50
Dollar profit loss or return = 28.50-31.5=-3
Loss= $3
In order to find the holding period return we will divide add the dividend and selling price , subtract buying price from it and then divide it by buying price.
(27.65+0.85-31.5)/31.5= -0.09 = -9%
Holding period return = negative 9%

King's unlevered cost of equity is 11 percent and its pretax cost of debt is 8 percent. The firm has a debt-equity ratio of .4. If the tax rate is 40 percent, what is King's cost of equity?
Answer:
11.72%
Explanation:
Find levered cost of equity using the formula below;
kL [tex]=kU +(1-tax)\frac{D}{E} (kU-kD)\\ \\[/tex]
whereby;
kU = unlevered cost of equity = 11% or 0.11 as a decimal
kL = levered cost of equity
D/E = debt-equity ratio = 0.4
tax = 40% or 0.40 as a decimal
Next, plug in the numbers to the formula above;
[tex]kL = 0.11 + [(1-0.40)*0.4*(0.11-0.08)]\\ \\ =0.11 + 0.0072\\ \\ =0.1172[/tex]
As a percentage, the King's levered cost of equity is 11.72%

One important thing to remember is that all of this information technology is created to aid in the process of acquiring knowledge. Knowledge still resides in people, but information systems have been created to capture the specialized knowledge and decision rules used by others, the process behind expert systems.
True / False.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
An expert system is a key variable in today's global world where information is the key to progress and to do advancements in every field of life. In that regard, an expert system plays a crucial role that helps to emulate decision-making ability. It is designed to solve complex problems which are beyond human capability. It stores information and helps to resolve issues by using multiple knowledge sources.
Information systems are designed to capture and communicate specialized knowledge, true to the claim. These systems play a crucial role in information societies, where knowledge drives the economy and access to education dictates success. Additionally, the evolution of information and communication technologies impacts the scale and competitive dynamics of firms in the economy.
Explanation:It is true that information technology, including expert systems, is designed to aid the process of acquiring knowledge. While knowledge ultimately resides in people, information systems are employed to encapsulate specialized knowledge and decision rules. These systems, such as expert systems, serve to store and convey what others know, supporting the decision-making processes.
The impact of information technology extends into various aspects of society. For instance, in information societies, the economy is driven by knowledge rather than material goods, and power is held by those who control the storage and dissemination of information. This influence highlights the importance of access to education and technical skills, as the workforce in a postindustrial society is divided by the capacity to succeed in service-oriented roles, such as software programmers and business consultants, rather than in the production of goods.

Which of the following is the path through which contractionary monetary policy works? A. Money down implies interest rate up implies investment down implies income down. B. Money down implies interest rate down implies investment down implies income down. C. Money down implies interest rate up implies investment up implies income down. D. Money down implies interest rate down implies investment up implies income down.
Answer and Explanation:
B. Money down implies interest rate down implies investment down implies income down.
The correct path through which contractionary monetary policy works is: A. Money down implies interest rate up implies investment down implies income down.
Contractionary monetary policy aims to reduce the money supply in the economy. This is typically done by the central bank through measures such as selling government bonds. A reduced money supply leads to higher interest rates.
Higher interest rates discourage borrowing and investment. As businesses and consumers cut back on spending, economic activity slows. This results in lower income and reduced aggregate demand.
Thus, the overall pathway is: money supply decreases, interest rates rise, investment falls, and income declines. This helps control inflation but can also slow down economic growth.

Assume Mercy Hospital underestimated the provision for bad debts and contractual adjustments reported on its December 31, 2015 income statement. This was caused by a new accountant calculating the accounts receivable balance at the end of the year. What would be the most likely effect on the actual cash flow stemming from the reported net patient service revenue in the following year?
Answer:
If the hospital underestimated its bad debt, that means that they are overestimating their profits. The cash flow is determined using the income statement, so it will also be overestimated. But at some point reality will catch up and the actual cash flow will be less than expected, since bad debts reduce actual revenue.

They are large-scale customized initiatives with wide variations in tasks.
Because the process is reapted over and over again. It is always the same process with easier mechanization, higher quantity production, which allows faster continuous improvement.
Flow shop processes involve sequential arrangement of operations, follow the same path for every cycle, and are used in mass production scenarios.
Flow shop processes are characterized by following the same path for every cycle, which means option c is correct. These processes typically involve a sequential arrangement of operations and minimize setup or changeover time, contradicting option b. Flow shop processes are used in mass production scenarios where high volumes of standardized goods are produced efficiently.
Strike offers to sell Bailey one thousand shirts for a stated price. The offer declares that shipment will be made by Dependable Truck Line. Bailey replies, "I accept your offer for one thousand shirts at the price quoted. Delivery to be by Yellow express Truck Line." Both Strike and Bailey are merchants. Three weeks later, Strike ships the shirts by Dependable Truck Line, and Bailey refuses to accept delivery. Strike sues for breach of contract. Bailey claims that there never was a contract because his reply, which included a modification of carriers, did not constitute an acceptance. Bailey further claims that even if there had been a contract, Strike would have been in breach because Strike shipped the shirts by Dependable, contrary to the contracts terms. Discuss fully Bailey’s claims.
Answer:
We can assume that both Strike and Bailey are American companies and that they operate in that US under the UCC rules. Under UCC rules they are both considered merchants since they trade with the goods related to the contract. Strike's offer was very precise and Bailey's acceptance was made in a reasonable manner which can be considered a valid acceptance.
The only difference exists with the shipping company, which the UCC rules consider a conflicting term and Strike should have either objected or ratified it before sending the goods. Since Strike didn't object Bailey's terms, then by using a different truck company it is breaching the contract.
A coffee-shop is open Monday through Friday each week. Records for the week show the following numbers of bowls of chili were sold: 160, 140, 135, 185, and 190. Using a three-day moving average, what quantity would the manager recommend be prepared for Monday of the second week?
a. 145
b. 160
c. 162
d. 170
Answer:
The answer is d. 170 bowls of chili is expected to be sold in the next Monday using three-day moving average.
Explanation:
Under three-day moving average technique, the quantity of chili bowls sold in the nearest 03 business day before the projected day, that is Monday are averaged to get the expected number of bowl of chili sold in Monday.
