Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": descriptive statistics.
Explanation:
Descriptive Statistics is a term used for meaningful analysis of data. This usually means arranging or summing up vast volumes of data so that it can be understood more easily. Descriptive statistics do not necessarily serve to come to a conclusion or to support an inference. But they explain the data in a meaningful way. You may use descriptive statistics for a whole population or a sample.
Jarrett Baker is the founder of an enterprise software company. By looking at his income statements over the past three years, you see that its working capital has declined from $42,400 in 2015 to $17,900 in 2016 to $3,100 in 2017. If this trend continues, in what ways could it jeopardize the future of his business?
Final answer:
Decreasing working capital over three years could hamper Jarrett Baker's company's ability to finance daily operations, manage debt, invest in growth, and handle sudden costs, potentially leading to insolvency.
Explanation:
Declining working capital suggests that Jarrett Baker's enterprise may be facing financial challenges that could threaten its ongoing operations. If the trend of decreasing working capital continues, it may impair the company's ability to finance day-to-day operations, invest in expansion or new projects, and handle unexpected expenses. Since working capital is the difference between a company's current assets and current liabilities, a declining working capital over three consecutive years indicates the company's liquid assets are decreasing in relation to its short-term financial obligations.
A company with low or negative working capital may struggle to pay debts, purchase inventory, or cover payroll, all of which are critical for maintaining the regular flow of business. If this trend persists without corrective measures, it could eventually lead to insolvency, as the enterprise may not be able to meet its short-term liabilities and continue operating.

For financial accounting purposes, what is the total amount of period costs incurred to sell 13,000 units? accounting purposes, what is the total amount of product costs incurred to make 18.000 units?
Answer:
1. Total Amount of Product Costs $296,050
2. Total Amount of Period Costs Incurred $141,050
3. Total Amount of Product Costs $330,300
4. Total Amount of Period Costs $135,300
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. For total product cost
Total Amount of Product Costs = Units × (Direct Material Per Unit + Direct Labor Per Unit + Variable Manufacturing Overhead + Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Per Unit)
= 15,500 units × ($7.40 + $4.40 + $1.90 + $5.40)
= $296,050
2. For total period cost
Total Amount of Period Costs = Units × (Fixed Selling Expense Per Unit + Fixed Administrative Expense Per Unit + Sales Commissions Per Unit + Variable Administrative Expense Per Unit)
= 15,500 units × ($3.90 + $2.90 + $1.40 + $.90)
= $141,050
3. For total amount of product cost incurred
Direct Material (18,000 units × $7.40) $133,200
Direct Labor (18,000 units × $4.40) $79,200
Variable Manufacturing Overhead (18,000 units × $1.90) $34,200
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead (15,500 units × $5.40) $83,700
Total Product Costs $330,300
4. For total amount of period cost incurred
Fixed Selling Expense (15,500 units × $3.90) $60,450
Fixed Administrative Expense (15,500 units × $2.90) $44,950
Sales Commissions (13,000 units × $1.40) $18,200
Variable Administrative Expense (13,000 units × $.90) $11,700
Total Period Costs $135,300
We simply applied the above formulas
and we know that the period cost includes the major portion of selling and admin expense while the product cost includes the direct labor, direct material, and the manufacturing overhead cost or we can say total manufacturing cost

DR: Accounts Payable(Tristar Communication) $ 390,000
Cr: Cash Discount (390,000×1%) $3,900
Cr: Cash/Bank $ 386,100
Explanation:
On Dec 28, 2021 as the units were purchased on credit so a liability is recognized against the purchase of assets.
On Jan 6, 2022 there has been a cash discount received of 1% of invoice value if payment has been made with 10 days of invoice. As the payment has been made with in 10 days so a cash discount is received which is categorized as an income for the business.
On January 1, the Elias Corporation issued 10% bonds with a face value of $99,000. The bonds are sold for $97,020. The bonds pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31 and the maturity date is December 31, ten years from now. Elias records straight-line amortization of the bond discount. The bond interest expense for the year ended December 31 of the first year is. a.$10,098 b.$9,900 c.$9,702 d.$1,980
The bond interest expense for the year ended December 31 of the first year is $990.
Explanation:To calculate the bond interest expense for the year ended December 31 of the first year, we need to determine the bond discount and the number of interest payments made during the year. The bond discount is the difference between the face value of the bond ($99,000) and the selling price ($97,020), which is $1,980. Since the bonds pay interest semiannually, there would be two interest payments made during the year. The bond interest expense would be the bond discount divided by the number of interest payments, which is $1,980 / 2 = $990.
Anthony Inc. purchases a machine for $15,000. This machine qualifies as a 5-year recovery asset under MACRS with the fixed percentages as follows for years 1,2,3, and 4 respectively: 20%, 32%, 19.2% and 11.52%. The tax rate is 33%. If the machine is sold at the end of 4 years for $4,000, what is the cash flow from disposal?
Answer:
The correct answer is $3,535.36
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:
First we calculate the book value,
So, Book value = $15,000 × ( 1 - 20% - 32% - 19.2% - 11.52%)
= $2,592
So, we can calculate the Cash flow from disposal by using following formula:
Cash flow from disposal = Sale proceeds - ( Gain on sales × Tax rate)
Where, Gain on sales = ($4,000 - $2,592 ) = $1,408
By putting the value, we get
= $4,000 - ( $1,408 × 33% )
=$3,535.36
An advantage of team diversity is that: a. diverse teams are much more challenging to manage. b. if speed and efficiency are important, a diverse team is appropriate. c. diverse team members are less creative and innovative over the long term. d. diverse team members possess more complementary information and expertise.
Answer: d. diverse team members possess more complementary information and expertise
Explanation:
Diverse team members are increasingly becoming welcome in the business world. Look at most Boards for instance, they don't usually solely comprise of people in the same industry but rather people from different industries and expertise. Why is that?
Simple. If you look at a problem from one angle alone, you can't completely fix it. This is why a diverse team is important. They bring different types of information and various angles that COMPLIMENT each other.
The expertise that people from various backgrounds can bring together can be very useful because again, they can compliment each other and more often than not, make the project way better than it could be if it was approached from one angle.
Your finance textbook sold 52,500 copies in its first year. The publishing company expects the sales to grow at a rate of 16 percent each year for the next three years and by 10 percent in the fourth year. Calculate the total number of copies that the publisher expects to sell in years 3 and 4.
Answer:
The sales figure in year 3 is 81,947
The sales figure in year 4 is 90,142
Explanation:
The number of copies the publisher expects to sell in 3rd and 4th can be determined by computing the growth rate and increased sales from year 1 to year 4.
Year growth sales
1 52,500*(1+16%) 60,900
2 60900*(1+16%) 70,644
3 70644*(1+16%) 81,947
4 81,947*(1+10%) 90,142
The sales of finance books in year 3 and 4 are 81,947 and 90,142 respectively
Note that the growth rate is continuous that accounted for the need to apply the growth rate to the previous year sales in order to arrive at current year sales

By tying the salaries of top corporate managers to the price of the corporation's stock, corporations hope to avoid Select one: a. the principal-agent problem. b. corporate governance. c. conflict between the CFO and the CEO d. paying high salaries to their managers.
Answer:
the principal-agent problem.
Explanation:
The principal agent problem occurs when an agent who is entrusted with an asset is having conflicting interest with the principal (asset owner).
For example management of a company are the agents of the stockholders of the company.
The main goal of the stockholder is to make profit. So if the salaries of the top management is tied to price of the company's stock, the manager's will work to ensure stocks remain profitable.
This aligns the goals of the management and the shareholders thereby avoiding the principal agent problem.

Florence Inc. lost an entire plant due to an earthquake on May 1, 2018. In preparing its insurance claim on the inventory loss, the company developed the following data: Inventory Jan1, 2018, $470,000; sales and purchases from Jan 1, 2018, to May 1, 2018, $1,260,000 and $895,000, respectively. Florence consistently reports a 30% gross profit.
The estimated inventory on May 1, 2018, is:
Answer:
$483,000
Explanation:
The computation of the estimated inventory on May 1, 2018, is shown below:
= Inventory as on Jan 1, 2018 + purchase of inventory + sales on inventory × gross profit rate - sales on inventory
= $470,000 + $895,000 + $1,260,000 × 30% - $1,260,000
= $470,000 + $895,000 + $378,000 - $1,260,000
= $483,000
By applying the above formula we can get the ending estimated inventory
The Florida Investment Fund buys 70 bonds of the Gator Corporation through a broker. The bonds pay 8 percent annual interest. The yield to maturity (market rate of interest) is 10 percent. The bonds have a 20-year maturity. Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.
Answer:
The question requirement is found below:
a.Compute the price of a bond. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
b.Compute the total value of the 70 bonds. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
a. price of a bond is $829.73
b value of 70 bonds is $58,081.10
Explanation:
The price of the bond can be computed using the pv formula in excel as found below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the yield to maturity on the bond which is 10% annually
nper is the number of annual coupon that the bond would pay before redemption,hence a 20 year bond would pay coupon interest 20 times before it is redeemed
pmt is the annual coupon,which is 8%*$1000=$80
fv is the face value of $1,000
=-pv(10%,20,80,1000)=$ 829.73
each bond is worth $829.73
70 bonds=70*$829.73 = $58,081.10
On January 1, a company borrowed cash by issuing a $300,000, 5%, installment note to be paid in three equal payments at the end of each year beginning December 31. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1)
1- What would be the amount of each installment?
2- Prepare an amortization table for the installmet note.
3- Prepare the journal entry for the second installment payment.
Each annual installment of the note is roughly $114,005.68. The installment amount decreases as more of the loan principal becomes paid off, and less interest accrues. In the journal entry for the second payment, both the note liability and interest expense decrease.
Explanation:To answer this question, we need to use the concept of the Present Value of Annuity (PVA). An annuity is a series of equal payments over a specified period of time. The present value of an annuity is the current value of all those future payments.
The formula for the Present Value of an Annuity (PVA) is: PVA = Pmt × [(1-(1+r)⁻ⁿ)/r], where:
Pmt = Amount of each payment
r = Interest rate per period
n = Number of periods. In this case, r equals 5%/100 = 0.05 and n equals 3. The total PVA equals $300,000.
By rearranging the formula, we can solve for Pmt. Pmt = PVA/[(1-(1+r)¹⁻ⁿ)/r] which equals about $114,005.68. The amortization table shows the payment amount being split into principal and interest areas. The journal entry for the second installment payment would subtract the principal paid from the installment liability, and the interest from the expense of the business.

A. An actor who has directed some plays.
B. An actor who has acted in plays at small local theaters.
C. An actor who comes from a respected talent agency.
D. An actor who has written a play.
Answer: C. An actor who comes from a respected talent agency.
Explanation:
Talent Agencies are professionals in the field. The people they send have been put through training programs that the Talent Agency knows will serve them well because they are in that same industry. For this reason, actors from Talent Agencies send the strongest signals.
Look at it this way, would you take investment advice from an investment banker or from an entrepreneur? Both could present very strong cases but the Investment Banker has expertise in the subject and is more likely to be picked.
It is the same here. The Talent Agency is believed to have expertise and so when they send someone, that person is considered first.

Explanation:
Quality in the context of selecting a young actor for an important role in a play can be best signified by an actor who comes from a respected talent agency. Talent agencies often represent actors who have potential, and being associated with a respected agency can signal a level of professionalism and readiness for the role.
Actors who are part of respected talent agencies usually have access to better opportunities, networking, and guidance, which can enhance their skills and prepare them for challenging roles in professional theatre.
Therefore, out of the given choices, selecting c) an actor who comes from a respected talent agency would send the strongest signal of quality for the theater company.
A company wants to set up their headquarters in Spain where the corporate tax rates are as follows: 11% of first $40,000 profits, 22% of next $26,000, 39% of next $29,000, and 42% of everything over $110,000. Consultants estimate that they will have gross revenues of $350,000, total costs of $100,000, and $10,000 in allowable tax deductions. What is taxable income for the first year and how much should the company expect to pay in taxes?
Answer:
The correct answer is $240,000 and $76,030.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation for the given data are as follows:
Total Revenue = $350,000
Total cost = $100,000
So, Profit = $350,000 - $100,000 = $250,000
Allowable tax deduction = $10,000
So,Taxable income = $250,000 - $10,000 = $240,000
Tax to pay:
11% on first $40,000 = ( 11% × $40,000) =$4,400
22% on next $26,000 = ( 22% × $26,000) = $5720
39% on next $29,000 = ( 39% × $29,000) = $11,310
42% on ($240,000 - $110,000) = ( 42% × $130,000) = $54,600
So, Total tax payable = $4,400 + $5,720 + $11,310 + $54600
= $76,030

Steven, age 43, earns $80,000 annually; and his wage replacement ratio has been determined to be 80%. He expects inflation will average 3% for his entire life expectancy. He expects to work until 68, and live until 90. He anticipates an 8% return on his investments. Additionally, Social Security Administration has notified him that his annual retirement benefit, in today's dollars will be $26,000. Using the capital needs / annuity method. Calculate how much capital Steven will need.
Answer:
Steven will need a capital of $1,061,342.10
Explanation:
Annual Savings
= $80,000*0.8
= $64,000.00
Period
= 68 - 43
= 25
Future Value of annual savings
= FV
= $64000*(1 + 0.03)^25
= $134,001.79
Future Value of social security
= FV
= $26000*(1 + 0.03)^25
= $54,438.23
Annual Investment required at age of 68
= $134,001.79 - $54,438.23
= $79,563.56
Present value of a number of cash flows over his retirement years,
Inflation Adjusted Rate
= (1.08/1.03) - 1
= 4.85%
Period
= 90 - 68
= 22
Capital Required
= PV(4.85%,22,-79563.56)
= $1,061,342.10
Therefore, Steven will need a capital of $1,061,342.10
Billings Company produces two products, Product Reno and Product Tahoe. Each product goes through its own assembly and finishing departments. However, both of them must go through the painting department. The painting department has capacity of 2,460 hours per year. Product Reno has a unit contribution margin of $120 and requires 4 hours of painting department time. Product Tahoe has a unit contribution margin of $78 and requires 3 hours of painting department time. There are no other constraints. What is the optimal mix of products?
Answer:
Optimal mix
Reno = 615 units
Tahoe = 0 units
Explanation:
Whenever a company is faced with a limiting factor i.e a resource in short supply, the company should allocate the resource to the product with he highest contribution per unit of the scare resource
Product Cont/unit painting hr /unit cont/hr Ranking
Reno $120 4 30 Ist
Tahoe $78 3 26 2nd
The company should use all of its limited 2,460 painting hours to produce the two products as follows:
Reno
= 2460/4
= 615 units of Reno
This is so as long as Billings Company can produce and sell as many units of Reno as it can produce.
Optimal mix
Reno = 615 units
Tahoe = 0 units

average sales price=$17,200,000/8,000,000=$2.15
Haystack, Inc. manufactures machinery used in the mining industry. On January 1, 2017 it leased equipment with a cost of $480,000 to Silver Point Co. The 5-year lease calls for a 10% down payment and equal annual payments at the beginning of each year. The equipment has an expected useful life of 5 years. If the selling price of the equipment is $780,000, and the rate implicit in the lease is 8%, what are the equal annual payments
Answer:
$175,808
Explanation:
P=R (1-(1+i)^-n)/i
Where P=780,000*90%=$702,000
R=?
i=8%
N=5 years
By putting above values in formula, we get
P=R(1-(1+.08)^-5)/.08
702,000=R*3.993
R=702,000/3.993
R=$175,808
Colter Steel has $5,600,000 in assets. Temporary current assets $ 3,200,000 Permanent current assets 1,610,000 Fixed assets 790,000 Total assets $ 5,600,000 Short-term rates are 10 percent. Long-term rates are 15 percent. Earnings before interest and taxes are $1,180,000. The tax rate is 20 percent. If long-term financing is perfectly matched (synchronized) with long-term asset needs, and the same is true of short-term financing, what will earnings after taxes be
Answer:
The Earnings after taxes will be $400,000
Explanation:
According to the data we have the following Long term financing funds of Permanent current assets = $1,610,000 and Fixed assets = $790,000 so the total of Long term financing funds= $ 2,400,000
Also, we have Termperory current assets = $3,200,000
Therefore, the Long term interest expenses = $2,400,000 * 15%
= $360,000
and the Short term interest expenses = $3,200,000* 10%
= $ 320,000
Hence, Total interest expenses=$360,000+$ 320,000 =$680,000
So, Earnings before taxes=Earnings before interest and taxes-Interest expenses=$ 1,180,000- $ 680,000 =$500,000
The tax rate is 20 percent, hence, taxes=$500,000*20%=$100,000
Therefore, The Earnings after taxes would be=Earnings before taxes-taxes
=$500,000-$100,000
=$400,000
In liability based on negligence, _____. a contractual relationship is involved and it does matter whether or not the buyer dealt directly with the manufacturer the manufacturer's duty of care extends to all persons who might foreseeably be injured if the manufacturer does not exercise its duty of care disclaimers in contracts are usually effective to shield a manufacturer or seller against liability for negligence to consumers the obvious danger rule can be used for complete defense
Answer:
the manufacturer's duty of care extends to all persons who might foreseeably be injured if the manufacturer does not exercise its duty of care
Explanation:
Negligence liability can apply to persons or organisations not explicitly interested in the accident at question — a term known as vicarious liability. Vicarious responsibility for negligence is also asserted to ensure that an accident victim can collect her or his compensation from an economically stable and properly protected party.
Small companies, associations, organisations and major corporations may also be held legitimately accountable in cases where they have failed to secure the health of everyone else adequately. Additionally, respondeat superior may also render an employer responsible for job-related injuries affecting his or her workers even though at the moment of the incident the employer had not been present.
You work for a leveraged buyout firm and are evaluating a potential buyout of UnderWater Company. UnderWater's stock price is $ 15 and it has 1.25 million shares outstanding.You believe that if you buy the company and replace its management, its value will increase by 35 %. You are planning on doing a leveraged buyout of UnderWater and will offer $ 18.75 per share for control of the company. a. Assuming you get 50 % control, what will happen to the price of non-tendered shares? b. Given the answer in part (a), will shareholders tender their shares, not tender their shares, or be indifferent? c. What will your gain from the transaction be?
Answer:
a. The shareholders will want to tender their shares.
c. The gain will be $25.31 million – $23.44 million = $1.87 million.
Explanation:
a. The value of the firm is 1.25 million shares* 15= $18.75 million.
Increase in value, 18.75*135% = $25.31 million, so now this is the value of the firm
If 50% of the shares are bought for $18.75 Million, you will buy 0.625 million shares, so the total amount that will be paid is $11.72 million.
Now, the money against shares will be borrowed as collateral. This means that the new value of the equity will be $25.31 million – $11.72 million = 13.59 million.
1.25 million shares are there so now the price of the share will be = $10.87 million ($13.59 million/$1.25 million = $ 10.87 million).
b.The price of the shares has decreased from $13.59 to $10.87 after the tender offer, everyone will want to tender their shares for $18.75.
c. Supposing everyone tenders the shares and you will buy at $18.75 per share, you will pay $23.44 (18.75 per share *1.25 million shares) to acquire the company and it will be worth $25.31 million.
The gain will be $25.31 million – $23.44 million = $1.87 million.
The long-term liability section of Eastern Post Corporation’s balance sheet as of January 1, 2018, included 12% bonds having a face amount of $42.4 million and a remaining premium of $6.6 million. On January 1, 2018, Eastern Post retired some of the bonds before their scheduled maturity.
Required:Prepare the journal entry by Eastern Post to record the redemption of the bonds under each of the independent circumstances below:1. Eastern Post called half the bonds at the call price of 104 (104% of face amount).2. Eastern Post repurchased $11.7 million of the bonds on the open market at their market price of $12.2 million.
Explanation:
Carrying amount of the bonds at January 1, 2018 = $42.4 million + $6.6 million = $49m, so half of that is $24.5m. Selling price was at 104, so proceeds from the sale = $21.2m x 104% = $22m, so there's a gain of $24.5m - $22m or $2.5m
Dr Bonds payable $21.2m
Dr Premium on bonds payable $3m
Cr Cash $22m
Cr Gain on redemption of bonds $2.5m
2. Eastern Post repurchased $11.7 million of the bonds on the open market at their market price of $12.2 million
We are repurchasing $11.7 m out of $42.4m here, so remember to use only 25% of the amounts given to you in the question.
Dr Bonds payable $11.7m
Dr Premium on bonds payable $1.5m
Cr Cash $12.2 m
Cr Gain on redemption of bonds $1m
The journal entry debits the Bond Liability and Premium on Bonds Payable accounts for the respective amounts, debits Loss on Bond Redemption for the loss incurred, and credits Cash for the total amount paid. The Bond Liability and Premium on Bonds Payable accounts are credited for the amounts being retired.
1. When Eastern Post called half the bonds at the call price of 104 (104% of face amount), the journal entry would be:
Debit: Bond Liability for $21.2 million (half of $42.4 million)
Debit: Premium on Bonds Payable for $2.31 million (half of $6.6 million)
Debit: Cash for $22.064 million (104% of $21.2 million)
Credit: Cash for $22.064 million
Credit: Bond Liability for $21.2 million
Credit: Premium on Bonds Payable for $2.31 million
2. When Eastern Post repurchased $11.7 million of the bonds on the open market at their market price of $12.2 million, the journal entry would be:
Debit: Bond Liability for $11.7 million
Debit: Premium on Bonds Payable for $1.65 million (25% of $6.6 million, proportional to the amount retired)
Debit: Loss on Bond Redemption for $49,000 ($12.2 million - $11.7 million - $1.65 million)
Credit: Cash for $12.2 million
Credit: Bond Liability for $11.7 million
Credit: Premium on Bonds Payable for $1.65 million
1. For the bond call:
- The face amount of the bonds being called is half of the total face amount, which is $42.4 million / 2 = $21.2 million.
- The premium on the bonds being called is also half of the total remaining premium, which is $6.6 million / 2 = $2.31 million.
- The call price is 104% of the face amount of the bonds being called, which is $21.2 million * 1.04 = $22.064 million.
- The journal entry debits the Bond Liability and Premium on Bonds Payable accounts for the respective amounts and credits the same accounts for the amounts being redeemed. Cash is debited for the total amount paid, which is the sum of the face amount and the premium.
2. For the open market repurchase:
- The face amount of the bonds being repurchased is $11.7 million.
- The proportional amount of the premium being retired is calculated based on the ratio of the repurchased bonds to the total bonds, which is ($11.7 million / $42.4 million) * $6.6 million = $1.65 million.
- The market price paid for the bonds is $12.2 million.
- The loss on bond redemption is calculated as the difference between the market price paid and the sum of the face amount and the premium being retired, which is $12.2 million - $11.7 million - $1.65 million = $49,000.
