Answer:
The net pay for John Jansen is $2894
Explanation:
For calculating the net pay for John Jansen we have to subtract all the FICA taxes and federal income taxes and also state income taxes, with authorized voluntary deductions also being subtracted from the gross earnings .
Given information - Gross earning = $4000
FICA taxes = 7.65%
Federal income taxes = $675
State income taxes = 3%
Authorized voluntary deductions = $5
One important to remember here is that FICA taxes and State taxes would be calculated on the gross earnings of John
FICA taxes = 7.65% of $4000
= .0765 x $4000
= $306
State taxes = 3% of $4000
= .03 x $4000
= $120
NET PAY = gross earnings - FICA tax - state tax - federal income tax -
authorized voluntary deduction
= $4000 - $306 - $120 - $675 - $5
= $2894
As part of their application for a loan to buy Lakeside Farm, a property they hope to develop as a bed-and-breakfast operation, the prospective owners have projected: Monthly fixed cost (loan payment, taxes, insurance, maintenance) $8000 Variable cost per occupied room per night $ 25 Revenue per occupied room per night $ 75 SHOW YOUR WORK TO RECEIVE CREDIT. a. Write the expression for total cost per month. Assume 30 days per month. b. Write the expression for total revenue per month. c. If there are 12 guest rooms available, can they break even? What percentage of rooms would need to be occupied, on average, to break even?
Answer:
(A)total cost = 8,000 + 25X
where X is the rooms occupied for the month
(B) revenue = 75X
where X is the rooms occupied for the month
(C)
Explanation:
(A) total cost = fixed cost + variable cost
so total cost = 8,000 + 25X
where X is the rooms occupied
(B) total revenue = total sales
so revenue = 75X
where X is the rooms occupied for the month
(C) Yes they can Break-Even with an average capacity of 44.44%
[tex]\frac{Fixed Cost}{Contribution Margin} = $Break Even Point[/tex]
BEP will be ammount of rooms occupied to cover the fixed cost for the project.
Contribution margin = revenue - variable cost
Contribution = 75 - 25 = 50
Now we solve for BEP
8,000/ 50 = 160
If there are 12 guest room they can have a capacity of 12 * 30 = 360 beds per month
BEP is at 160 so their occupied percentage during the month should be: 160/360 = .44444 = 44.44%
The expression for total cost per month is $8,000 × 30 + $25 × (number of occupied rooms per night) × 30. The expression for total revenue per month is $75 × (number of occupied rooms per night) × 30. To break even, the percentage of rooms that need to be occupied, on average, can be determined by solving an equation.
Explanation:a. The expression for total cost per month can be calculated by multiplying the fixed cost per month by 30 days and adding the variable cost per occupied room per night multiplied by the number of occupied rooms per night multiplied by 30 days.
Total fixed cost per month = $8,000 × 30 = $240,000Total variable cost per month = $25 × (number of occupied rooms per night) × 30Total cost per month = Total fixed cost per month + Total variable cost per monthb. The expression for total revenue per month can be calculated by multiplying the revenue per occupied room per night by the number of occupied rooms per night multiplied by 30 days.
Total revenue per month = $75 × (number of occupied rooms per night) × 30
c. To break even, the total revenue per month needs to equal the total cost per month. Let's assume x represents the percentage of rooms that need to be occupied.
Total revenue per month = Total cost per month
$75 × (0.01x × 12) × 30 = $240,000 + ($25 × (0.01x × 12) × 30)
By solving this equation, we can determine the value of x, which represents the percentage of rooms that need to be occupied, on average, to break even.

What does 'charge-off as bad debt' mean?
Answer: Charge off as bad debt means that the remaining amount is considers as a bad debt but it doesn't mean that you no longer owe to the amount that is not being repaid.
Explanation:
The expression "charge off" implies that the original lender has given up on being repaid by the original terms of the credit. It believes the rest of the balance to be bad debt, yet that doesn't mean you never again owe the sum that has not been repaid.
After a record is charged off by the original creditor it is typically sent to an accumulation organization. The collection agency will at that point taking an attempt to recover the rest of of the amount with additional interest and fees.

The returns on the common stock of Maynard Cosmetic Specialties are quite cyclical. In a boom economy, the stock is expected to return 22 percent in comparison to 9 percent in a normal economy and a negative 14 percent in a recessionary period. The probability of a recession is 35 percent while the probability of a boom is 10 percent. What is the standard deviation of the returns on this stock?
Answer: 12.51%
Explanation: Probability of normal = 100 - (35+10)=55%
Expected return = Respective return*Respective Probability
= (22*0.1)+(9*0.55)+(-14*0.35) = 2.25%
When
(a) Return = 22% , Probability = 0.1
[tex]\therefore Probability\times (Return-Expected Return)^2[/tex]
[tex]0.1\times(22-2.25)^2=39.006[/tex]
(b) Return = 9%, Probability = 0.55

Batista Company management wants to maintain a minimum monthly cash balance of $19,100. At the beginning of April, the cash balance is $22,700, expected cash receipts for April are $245,800, and cash disbursements are expected to be $257,700. How much cash, if any, must be borrowed to maintain the desired minimum monthly balance? Amount to be borrowed to maintain the desired minimum monthly balance
Answer:
The cash, if any, must be borrowed to maintain the desired minimum monthly balance is $19,100 (given in the question) and the borrowed amount to maintain the desired minimum monthly balance is $9,000.
Explanation:
The steps for computing the borrowed amount to maintain the desired minimum monthly balance is shown below:
Step 1 : Write Beginning Cash balance
Step 2 : Add Cash receipts
Step 3 : Less Cash disbursements
Step 4 : After cash disbursements is calculated
Step 5: Write minimum monthly cash balance
Step 6: Now, deduct Step 4 amount by Step 5 amount to calculate borrowed amount.
So,
After Cash disbursement = Beginning Cash balance + Cash receipts - Cash disbursements
= $22,700 + $245,800 - $257,700
= $10,800
The cash, if any, must be borrowed to maintain the desired minimum monthly balance is $19,100 (given in the question)
And, the borrowed amount to maintain the desired minimum monthly balance = Monthly cash balance - After cash disbursements
= $19,100 - $10,800

Bartoletti Fabrication Corporation has a standard cost system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours (MHs) at $9.70 per MH. The company had budgeted its fixed manufacturing overhead cost at $69,000 for the month. During the month, the actual total variable manufacturing overhead was $66,710 and the actual total fixed manufacturing overhead was $74,000. The actual level of activity for the period was 6,400 MHs. What was the total of the variable overhead rate and fixed manufacturing overhead budget variances for the month?
The total of the fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance and variable overhead rate variance for Bartoletti Fabrication Corporation is -$9,630, indicating unfavorable variances in both categories.
Understanding Variance Analysis
In the context of Bartoletti Fabrication Corporation, variance analysis involves comparing the standard costs to actual costs and calculating the differences or variances. These variances can be categorized into fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance and variable overhead rate variance. To compute these:
The fixed overhead budget variance is the difference between the budgeted fixed overhead and the actual fixed overhead. In this case: $69,000 (budgeted) - $74,000 (actual) = -$5,000 (unfavorable).
The variable overhead rate variance is calculated by comparing the standard cost allocated using machine hours to the actual variable overhead costs. The standard variable overhead cost would be the actual machine hours (6,400 MHs) times the standard rate ($9.70 per MH), which equals $62,080. So the variance is: $62,080 (standard) - $66,710 (actual) = -$4,630 (unfavorable).
The total of the fixed overhead budget variance and variable overhead rate variance is: -$5,000 (fixed) - $4,630 (variable) = -$9,630 (total variance).
The total of the variable overhead rate and fixed manufacturing overhead budget variances can be calculated by determining the variable overhead rate variance and the fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance.
Total variable overhead rate is calculated by dividing the actual variable manufacturing overhead by the actual machine-hours. This gives $66,710 / 6,400 MHs = $10.42 per MH. The variable overhead rate variance can be calculated as ($10.42 - $9.70) x 6,400 MHs = $465.60 favorable. The fixed manufacturing overhead budget variance is calculated as the difference between the actual fixed cost and the budgeted fixed cost, resulting in $74,000 - $69,000 = $5,000 unfavorable.
In an economy with a population of 100 million persons, 40 million hold civilian jobs and 9 million are not working but are looking for a job. The number of persons in the civilian labor force is_______
Answer:
49 million people are the civilian labor force.
Explanation:
In order to solve this you just have to remember that the civilian labor force is the number of people that are currently working, or actively looking for a job in the last 4 weeks, which are the unemployed, this does not count for the retired people, students or people that are not actively looking for a job, this means that 40 million of people working plus the 9 million of people actively looking for a job, the civilian labor force will be 49 million people.

Flesch Corporation produces and sells two products. In the most recent month, Product C90B had sales of $37,000 and variable expenses of $9,250. Product Y45E had sales of $29,700 and variable expenses of $16,335. The fixed expenses of the entire company were $22,000. If the sales mix were to shift toward Product C90B with total dollar sales remaining constant, the overall break-even point for the entire company:
Answer:
The BEP will decrease, which is good.
The reason is that C90B has a better profit margin than Y45E so if the sales shift toward C90B the Contribution mix margin ratio will be higher and it will be easy to pay fixed cost and make a gain
Explanation:
C90B
sales 37,000
variable expenses 9,250
contribution margin 27,750
CM 0.75
Y45E
sales 29,700
variable expenses 16,335
contribution 13,365
CM 0.45
To calculate the overall break-even point for the entire company, consider the sales mix and the contribution margin of each product. Adjust the calculation based on the change in sales mix towards Product C90B.
Explanation:The break-even point is the point at which total revenue equals total costs and there is neither profit nor loss. To calculate the overall break-even point for the entire company, we need to consider the sales mix and the contribution margin of each product. The contribution margin is the difference between sales revenue and variable expenses.
We can use the following formula to calculate the overall break-even point:
Break-even point = Fixed expenses / Weighted average contribution margin
In this case, the weighted average contribution margin is determined by the sales mix. Since the total dollar sales remain constant, a shift in the sales mix towards Product C90B means the sales of Product Y45E will decrease proportionately. By calculating the contribution margin for each product and adjusting for the change in sales mix, we can determine the new overall break-even point for the entire company.
The following information is available for Payton Incorporated. At the end of the year, the market price of its common stock is $550 per share. Earnings per share totaled $100 and dividends per share in the amount of $15 were paid during the year. The dividend yield is:
Answer:
Dividends yield 2.72%
Explanation:
dividends yield formula:
[tex]\frac{annual\: dividends}{share \:price} \times 100 = dividends\: yield[/tex]
dividends 15
market price 550
The earning per share are not relevant for calculation.
15/550 = 0.027272727
Dividend yield 2.72%
This means that if an investor purchase the share at current price and the dividends remains at the same value, his investment will yield 2.72% per year

Coronado Industries sells two types of computer hard drives. The sales mix is 30% (Q-Drive) and 70% (Q-Drive Plus). Q-Drive has variable costs per unit of $120 and a selling price of $180. Q-Drive Plus has variable costs per unit of $135 and a selling price of $225. Coronado’s fixed costs are $1255500. How many units of Q-Drive would be sold at the break-even point?
Answer:
Break even units of Q-Drive = 4,650 units
Explanation:
To find break-even in sales ratio we have 3 units of Q Drive and 7 units of Q Plus Drive.
Calculating contribution per unit = Sales - Variable cost
Q Drive = $180 - $120 = $60
Q plus drive = $225 - $135 = $90
Contribution per sales mix = 3 [tex]\times[/tex] $60 + 7 [tex]\times[/tex] $90
= $180 + $630 = $810
Break even point in units = Fixed cost/ contribution per unit
Here firstly we will calculate contribution per sales mix = $1,255,500/$810 = 1,550 sales mix, as each sales mix has 3 units of Q-Drive, we have
Break even units of Q-Drive
Therefore units of Q-Drive = 1,550 [tex]\times[/tex] 3 = 4,650 units
Final answer:
To determine the break-even point for Q-Drive units, the weighted average contribution margin is calculated using the sales mix and contribution margins for both products. The total fixed costs are then divided by this average to find the total break-even units, which is followed by calculating 30% of that total to find the Q-Drive break-even units. Coronado Industries must sell 4,650 units of Q-Drive at the break-even point.
Explanation:
To determine how many units of Q-Drive would be sold at the break-even point, we first need to calculate the weighted average contribution margin. Here's the step-by-step explanation:
First, calculate the contribution margin per unit for each product - this is the selling price minus the variable cost.
For Q-Drive: $180 - $120 = $60 contribution margin per unit.
For Q-Drive Plus: $225 - $135 = $90 contribution margin per unit.
Next, determine the weighted average contribution margin using the sales mix percentages.
Weighted average contribution margin = (30% × $60) + (70% × $90)
Weighted average contribution margin = $18 + $63 = $81
Finally, divide the total fixed costs by the weighted average contribution margin to find the break-even point in units.
Break-even point = $1,255,500 / $81 = 15,500 total units
However, we want to find only the Q-Drive units, not the total. Since Q-Drive represents 30% of the sales mix, we calculate 30% of the total break-even units.
Q-Drive break-even units = 30% of 15,500 = 0.30 × 15,500 = 4,650 units.
To break even, Coronado Industries must sell 4,650 units of Q-Drive.
Castillo Corporation has provided you with the following budgeted income statement for one of its products:
Sales revenue $ 700,000
Variable costs (430,000)
Contribution margin $ 270,000
Fixed costs (310,000)
Operating loss $(40,000)
Castillo has just encountered environmental problems with the product and will be forced to drop the product line altogether. Castillo will be able to eliminate 60% of the fixed costs. What will be the impact on operating income of the company
Final answer:
Discontinuing the product line will improve Castillo Corporation's operating income by $146,000, accounting for the 60% reduction in fixed costs, changing an initial operating loss to a gain.
Explanation:
The impact on Castillo Corporation's operating income following the discontinuation of the product line with environmental issues can be calculated by considering the elimination of 60% of the fixed costs on the operating loss. Initially, the company has an operating loss of $40,000. Since the company can eliminate 60% of its fixed costs of $310,000, the total fixed costs reduction would be:
0.60 x $310,000 = $186,000.
By eliminating $186,000 of the fixed costs, the new operating loss will decrease by that amount, resulting in:
Initial operating loss: $(40,000)
Reduction in fixed costs: $186,000
New operating loss: $(40,000) + $186,000 = $146,000 gain in operating income.
Hence, discontinuing the product line will improve Castillo Corporation's operating income by $146,000, transitioning from a loss to a gain.
Bond Valuation with Semi-Annual Payments: Renfro Rentals has issued bonds that have a 10% coupon rate, payable semiannually. The bonds mature in 8 years, have a face value of $1,000, and a yield to maturity of 8.5%. What is the price of the bonds?
Answer:
The current Price of the bond will be 1,006.20
Explanation:
We have to calculate the present value of the bonds cash flows at a 8.5% rate
Present value ofthe interest service:
[tex]C * \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
[tex]100 * \frac{1-(1+.085)^{-10} }{0.085} = PV\\[/tex]
PV = $563.9183
Present Value of the principal
[tex]\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1,000}{(1 + 0.85)^{10} } = PV[/tex]
PV = $422.2854
Now we sum both concepts
422.2854 + 563.9183 = 1006.2037 = 1,006.20
Final answer:
To calculate the price of bonds with semi-annual payments, determine the semi-annual interest payment, find the present value of all cash flows, and discount them using the yield to maturity.
Explanation:
Bond Valuation Calculation:
Calculate the semi-annual interest payment: $1,000 face value * 10% coupon rate / 2 = $50Calculate the present value of the bond's total cash flows: $50 semi-annual payments for 16 periods and the $1,000 face value at the endDiscount these cash flows using the yield to maturity of 8.5% and sum them to find the price of the bondsWhich of the following is not a characteristic of monopolistic competition? Firms are price takers. There are many buyers and sellers. Barriers to entry are low.
Answer:
1) Companies are price takers. It is not a characteristic of monopolistic competition.
Explanation: In monopolistic competition, the products offered are characterized by differentiation and this differentiation gives companies market power, to be able to decide when setting their prices and not be price takers.
A group of friends are creating a new mobile paper shredding company that will go to businesses or organizations to shred their sensitive papers in bulk. You are advising them as to the type of business entity to choose. They have a number of partners, but their primary goals are to avoid personal liability and double taxation. They want to pay each of the partners based on their contribution to the success of the company, which is NOT equal to their percentage ownership. You advise them to accomplish this by forming a(n):
Answer: A Limited Liability Company (LLC)
Explanation:
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is known to be a company whose members are not limited in number and not responsible for its debt, liabilities and losses individually. This company is characterized by tax advantage because the company cannot be taxed as a company but its members. Thus, double taxation is been avoided because the members pay individual’s income tax after the business profits have been shared between them.
An LLC would be the best business entity choice for the paper shredding company, providing limited liability and tax benefits while allowing customized partner pay structures.
Explanation:An LLC (Limited Liability Company) would be the most suitable business entity for the friends' paper shredding company. An LLC offers limited personal liability for the partners while avoiding double taxation.
With an LLC, the partners can structure their pay based on their contribution to the company's success, which doesn't have to align with their percentage ownership.
Cost standards for one unit of product no. C77: Direct material 3 pounds at $2.50 per pound $ 7.50 Direct labor 6 hours at $7.30 per hour 43.80 Actual results: Units produced 6,800 units Direct material purchased 26,800 pounds at $2.70 $ 72,360 Direct material used 20,100 pounds at $2.70 54,270 Direct labor 41,300 hours at $7.10 293,230 Assume that the company computes variances at the earliest point in time. The standard hours allowed for the work performed are _________.
Answer:
The standard hours allowed for the work performed are 40,800
Explanation:
In the question we have been told to assume that the company computes variance at the earliest point of time, so it is important to understand what it actually means. When a company is comparing the budgeted amounts that it has set earlier with the actual amounts that have come, this process is called variance, and a company can only do this when the actual amounts have been completed.
For taking out the standard hours allowed we will multiply the total units produced by the set the direct labor hours,
6,800 x 6 = 40,800 dlh,
so therefore the standard hours allowed are 40,800.

If the market price of an I-Pod is $220, there will be a shortage of I-Pods. b. If the market price of an I-Pod is $220, there will be a surplus of I-Pods. c. If the market price of an I-Pod is $200, there will be a shortage of I-Pods. d. If the market price of an I-Pod is $200, there will be a surplus of I-Pods.
Answer: If the market price of an I-Pod is $220, there will be a surplus of I-Pods.
Explanation:
Given :
[tex]Q_{S}[/tex] = 10×P
[tex]Q_{D}[/tex] = 3,000 - 5×P
The equilibrium will occur where supply is equal to demand
i.e. [tex]Q_{S}[/tex] = [tex]Q_{D}[/tex]
10P = 3000 - 5P
15P = 3000
P = $200
∴The equilibrium price is $200
Hence, If the market price of an I-Pod is $220, there will be a surplus of I-Pods
The correct statement is a. If the market price of an I-Pod is $220, there will be a shortage of I-Pods.
To determine whether there will be a shortage or a surplus of I-Pods at a given price, we need to compare the quantity supplied with the quantity demanded at that price.
First, let's find the quantity demanded (QD) and the quantity supplied (QS) at the market price of $220 using the given equations:
For the demand equation QD = 3,000 - 5P, we substitute P = $220:
QD = 3,000 - 5(220) = 3,000 - 1,100 = 1,900 I-Pods.
For the supply equation QS = 10P, we substitute P = $220:
QS = 10(220) = 2,200 I-Pods.
Now, we compare QD and QS at $220:
QD = 1,900 I-Pods (demanded),
QS = 2,200 I-Pods (supplied).
Since QD < QS at $220, there will be a surplus of I-Pods. The surplus is the excess of quantity supplied over quantity demanded, which is 2,200 - 1,900 = 300 I-Pods.
Next, let's check the market price of $200:
For the demand equation QD = 3,000 - 5P, we substitute P = $200:
QD = 3,000 - 5(200) = 3,000 - 1,000 = 2,000 I-Pods.
For the supply equation QS = 10P, we substitute P = $200:
QS = 10(200) = 2,000 I-Pods.
Now, we compare QD and QS at $200:
QD = 2,000 I-Pods (demanded),
QS = 2,000 I-Pods (supplied).
Since QD = QS at $200, the market for I-Pods is in equilibrium, and there will be neither a shortage nor a surplus of I-Pods.
Therefore, the only true statement among the options is that if the market price of an I-Pod is $220, there will be a shortage of I-Pods. However, this is contradictory to the calculation we performed, which showed a surplus at $220. Let's re-evaluate the calculations:
At $220:
QD = 3,000 - 5(220) = 3,000 - 1,100 = 1,900 I-Pods (demanded),
QS = 10(220) = 2,200 I-Pods (supplied).
Since QD < QS at $220, there will indeed be a surplus, not a shortage. This means that the initial conclusion was incorrect.
At $200:
QD = 3,000 - 5(200) = 3,000 - 1,000 = 2,000 I-Pods (demanded),
QS = 10(200) = 2,000 I-Pods (supplied).
At $200, QD = QS, so the market is in equilibrium.
The correct conclusion is that if the market price of an I-Pod is $220, there will be a surplus of I-Pods, which is not listed among the options. However, since we are to correct inaccuracies and provide the answer based on the given options, we must choose the best possible answer from the ones provided. Given that none of the options correctly describe the situation at $220, we must select the option that is closest to the truth, which is option b: If the market price of an I-Pod is $220, there will be a surplus of I-Pods. This is the closest approximation to the correct calculation, despite the initial incorrect conclusion.
Smarton Company is in the process of preparing its budgeted income statement. It has determined its estimated gross margin to be $90,000. The company also expects to incur selling and administrative expenses of $30,000 and interest expense of $12,000. What would be Smarton's budgeted net income? A) $48,000 B) $60,000 C) $30,000 D) $18,000
Answer:
A) $48,000
Explanation:
[tex]$$$Gross Margin$$$- S&A expenses$$$Equals to Operative Income[/tex]
Then:
[tex]$$$Operative Income $$$- Interest Expense$$$Net Income[/tex]
Assuming there is no tax rate
[tex]90,000 - 30,000 - 12,000 = 48,000[/tex]
48,000 would be the net income
Suppose the demand for fish tacos is given by the following equation: Qd = 12 - 2P where Qd is the quantity demanded per week of fish tacos, and P is the price of fish tacos. Suppose further that the supply of fish tacos is: Qs = 1 + 3P where Qs is the quantity supplied per week of fish tacos. What is the equilibrium market price of fish tacos? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Q = 7.6
P= 2.2
Explanation:
[tex]\left \{ {{Qd = 12 - 2P} \atop {Qs = 1 + 3P}} \right.[/tex]
The equilibrium price makes both, supply and demand equal quantity.
we can conclude Qd = Qs
We replace quanty by their price-based expression
12 - 2P = 1 + 3P
And we can solve for price
11 = 5P
2.2 = P
Then we solve for Q
1 + 3 x 2.2 = 7.6
your friend has $5,000 and asked for your recommendation about placing her money in a financial institution. Based on what you learned in this module, what factors would you ask her about before making your recommendation? Which type of financial institution and type of account might you suggest?
Explanation:
If my friend wants to invest her $5000 and asks recommendations from me, then the main question i ask from her would be how much risk she is ready to take. There are different investment opportunities depending upon the level of risk a person is willing to take. If my friend would like to go safe and doesn't need any risk in her investment, then i would recommend her to buy Treasury Bills for long term investment. There would be no risk involved. Secondly i may ask her to put her money in the saving account to enjoy interest money while keeping the principal amount safe. Thirdly i may ask her to invest in real estate for long term. Again the risk would be minimal. But if she wants to take risks, i would ask her to invest in the short term stocks and keep an eye on the movement of the stocks to get profit. Secondly i may ask her to invest in the foreign exchange market, in currencies or in commodities to get benefits on the rule of high risk high return.
So these are some recommendations for her on the basis of the risk she wants to take.
Two processes can be used for producing a polymer that reduces friction loss in engines. Process K will have a first cost of $160,000, an operating cost of $7000 per quarter, and a salvage value of $40,000 after its 2-year life. Process L will have a first cost of $210,000, an operating cost of $5000 per quarter, and a $26,000 salvage value after its 4-year life. Which process should be selected on the basis of a present worth analysis at an interest rate of 8% per year, compounded quarterly?
Answer:
Process L will be selected because their NPV is better than Process K
Explanation:

Millburn Corporation has acquired a property that included both land and a building for $510,000. The corporation hired an appraiser who has determined that the market value of the land is $320,000 and that of the building is $440,000. At what amount should the corporation record the cost of land? (Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places, and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer: $2,14,200
Explanation:
The total market value of the land and building = 3,20,000 + 4,40,000
=$7,60,000
Now, we have calculated the percentage of land involved in the total market value are as follows:
= \frac{320000}{760000} × 100
= 42%
Now,
the value of land = 42% of $5,10,000
= $2,14,200
This is the amount that corporation should record the cost of land.
Name a product that you regularly purchase from a firm that operates in an oligopolistic industry. Explain why the product and firm fit the model of oligopoly. Think about the TV commercials and/or print advertisements that you’ve seen from this industry: What interdependence have you noticed between the firm you selected and its rivals in terms of product differentiation, price leadership, or price competition? Explain your answer.
Explanation:
First of all we need to know the concept of Oligopoly Market. An Oligopoly Market is a firm structure in which many firms are present in the same industry but only few or one or two firms dominate.
So I will take example of Khaadi, which is a brand in Pakistan in the textile industry. There are a lot of other textile companies in there but Khaadi contributes the highest share in the market. The reason that Khaadi fits into the Oligopoly Market structure is its market share and the differentiated products in terms of stitching and sewing. Hand made products of Khaadi gives it an edge.
There are many ads of Khaadi being on aired on the television and the print media. There are a lot of billboards and hoardings of models wearing Khaadi's brand.
The interdependence between Khaadi and other rival firms is, they have both stitched and unstitched variety of fabric, Price range for all the competing firms are almost same but Khaadi has always an edge of being the provider of hand made fabric.
Final answer:
Smartphones, such as those by Apple and Samsung, exemplify an oligopoly due to the control of market share by a few large firms, high barriers to entry, and interdependent pricing and output decisions. They engage in product differentiation and strategic marketing influenced by the actions of their competitors.
Explanation:
A product that demonstrates the oligopolistic market structure is a smartphone, such as those produced by Apple or Samsung. These companies operate in the oligopolistic industry of mobile devices, where a small number of large firms dominate the market share. This industry fits an oligopoly model because there are high barriers to entry, significant market power is concentrated among the few, and there's mutual interdependence in decision-making regarding pricing, output, and marketing strategies.
Oligopolies manifest product differentiation and non-price competition, as seen in the fierce marketing between Apple and Samsung. They use advertising to create distinct brand images and highlight unique features of their products. There can also be instances of price leadership where, for example, if one company introduces a pricing strategy, the other may follow to maintain competitive balance. In the realm of smartphones, this could manifest through similar pricing tiers for flagship models or matching prices for trade-in deals and promotions.
Within the industry, companies are aware of their rivals' actions, leading to strategic business decisions. For example, when Samsung releases a new smartphone with advanced features, Apple must consider this in its product development and marketing strategies. These actions demonstrate the industry's characteristic interdependence, as each firm's strategies are influenced by the others'.

What is inventory turnover? Explain the effect of a high inventory turnover during the Christmas shopping season.
Answer:
[tex]\frac{Sales}{Average Inventory} = $Inventory Turnover[/tex]
where:
[tex]$$Average Inventory=(Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory)/2[/tex]
The inventory turnover represent how many times the company sales their inventory during the year or period of analysis.
A high inventory turnover during Christmas shopping seasons mean sales are higher. The inventory in the store is sold more times during this time.
Inventory turnover is a financial ratio that measures the number of times a company sells and replaces its inventory during a specific period. A high inventory turnover during the Christmas shopping season indicates efficient sales and can bring several benefits to the company.
Explanation:Inventory turnover is a financial ratio that measures the number of times a company sells and replaces its inventory during a specific period. It is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold (COGS) by the average inventory. A high inventory turnover during the Christmas shopping season means that a company is selling its inventory quickly, which indicates efficient sales. This can be beneficial as it reduces holding costs, minimizes the risk of obsolete inventory, and generates cash flow to reinvest in new inventory or other business activities.

PV = 52831.35
NPV = PV of cash flow + PV at project end - investment - overhaul
NPV = 351,134.081 + 52831.35 - 361,000 -7305.14
NPV = 35,660.291
The Net Present Value (NPV) of the Oakmont Company to manufacture and sell a product for four years period will be around $35,660 for such an investment opportunity.
How to calculate Net Present Value?From the given information, we can assume that;
Total investment is computed as $361,000
The Present Value of Net Cash Flow at $128,000 will be computed as,
[tex]\rm PV\ of\ Cash\ Flow= C[\dfrac {1-(1+r)^t}{Discount\ Rate}] \\\\\rm PV\ of\ Cash\ Flow=128000[\dfrac{1-(1.17)^-^4}{0.17}]\\\\\rm PV\ of\ Cash\ Flow= \$35134[/tex]
Now, the overhaul will be computed as -7,305
Finally, Present Value at project-end;
[tex]\rm Present\ Value\ at\ Project-end = \dfrac{Nominal\ Value}{(1+rate)^t}\\\\\rm Present\ Value\ at\ Project-end = \dfrac{99000}{1.17^4}\\\\\rm Present\ Value\ at\ Project-end = \$52831[/tex]
Now the Net Present Value for the firm will be computed using the computed values, by applying them in the given formula;
[tex]\rm Net\ Present\ Value = PV\ of\ Cash\ Flow + PV\ at\ Project End - Investment - Overhaul\\\\\rm Net\ Present\ Value = 351134+52831-361000-7305\\\\\rm Net\ Present\ Value = \$35660[/tex]
Hence, the net present value for the firm for such investment opportunity over a period of four years will be $35,660.
