Answer:
The value of disposable income is $4,207
Explanation:
Dispossable income refers to the addition of income of an individual minus his taxes.
Therefore, the value of the value of disposable income can be calculated as follows:
Disposable income = Proprietors income + Compensation of employees + Rental income + Net interest + Transfer payments - Social insurance taxes - Personal taxes = $150 + $4,080 + $31 + $147 + $66 - $222 - $45 = $4,207
Therefore, the value of disposable income is $4,207.
Consider how you might use visual aids to explain each of the following:
a. How to stretch before and after exercise.
b. The proportion of the electorate that votes in major national elections in the United States, France, Germany, England, and Japan, respectively.
c. Where to obtain information about student loans.
d. The wing patterns of various species of butterflies.
e. The decrease in the amount of money spent by public schools on arts education since 2005.
f. How to play the ukulele.
g. The basic equipment and techniques of rock climbing.
Answer:
There are various kinds of visual aids. Namely:
PowerPoint PresentationWhiteboardsHandoutsVideo clipsPostersProduct, objects or artifactsExplanation:
a. How to stretch before and after excercise is best exemplified using video clips. The activity involves motion. Whiteboards or PowerPoint presentations or the others may attempt to describe how to bend over, however, a video tutorial showing what should be done needs little nor no explanation;
b. The proportion of the electorate that votes in major national elections in the United States, France, Germany, England, and Japan, respectively.
When it comes to comparing proportions, figures, numbers, statistics, PowerPoint presentations do more justice than any other visual aid listed above. It is equipped with a plethora of tools that help to express relationships between different kinds of data in a very clear and easy-to-understand manner.
c. Student Loans and where one can get them can be advertised using Handouts, and Posters as these are intended to reach more audiences by their very nature. Video clips work as well and even much more depending on where it is being published.
d. the wing patterns of various species of butterflies: Pictures arranged in sequence can be edited on to PowerPoint, WhiteBoard animation works excellently well too as it combines visuals with audio narrations in an animated format to explain what is being shown
e. Just in B, a decrease in the amount of money spent by public universities on arts since 2005 is an expression of the various relationships between factors and figures. The best visual aid for this is PowerPoint and Animated WhiteBoard
f. When it comes to demonstrating to a live audience how to do something complicated, video clips is the best visual aid that can be used
g. answer for f above applies to g as well.

Assume that Solo Company commenced operations on January 1, 2006, and it was granted permission to use the same depreciation calculations for shareholder reporting and income tax purposes. The company planned to depreciate its fixed assets over 15 years, but in December 2006 management realized that the assets would last for only 10 years. Solo's accountants plan to report the 2006 financial statements based on this new information. How would the new depreciation assumption affect the company's financial statements
Answer: c. The firm's cash position in 2006 and 2007 would increase.
Explanation:
Depreciation expense is heavily dependent on the useful life of the asset. The longer the useful life, the smaller the depreciation expense because the equipment is being depreciated over a longer period.
If the useful life is reduced from 15 to 10 years therefore, the depreciation expense would increase.
The Cash position of a company is calculated by adding back the depreciation to the Net income after taxes are paid because depreciation is not a cash expense.
If the depreciation is now larger (which it is) and is added back to the Net income, the cash position will therefore increase.
Hotel California Hotel California is a luxury hotel which has just got a new manager, Rocky. Given its location and quality, the hotel always had enough people making advance reservations to fill up all the rooms available. The hotel charges $200 per room per night for reservations made in advance (Hint:think of this $200 as the purchasing cost in the Newsvendor model). Rocky had taken the OPRE3310 at UTD last semester and decided to implement some of those techniques in his current job. He implemented a policy of reserving some rooms for last-minute requests and charges these requests S300 per room per night (Hint: think of this $300 as the selling price in the Newsvendor model) The unsold reserved rooms are worth nothing at the end of the day (Hint: that is the salvage value is $0). Based on his estimation, the number of last minute customers is uniformly distributed with minimum of 1 and maximum of 10
a) How much is the cost of reserving too little by one? That is the underage cost, Cu
b) How much is the cost of reserving too much by one? That is the overage cost, Co
c) What is the optimal service level?
d) How many rooms should be reserved for last-minute customers? Hint: what is Q"?
Answer:
Hotel California
a) The cost of reserving too little by one, (the underage cost) Cu
= $100
b) The cost of reserving too much by one, (the overage cost) Co =
= $200
c) The optimal service level
= 0.33
d) The number of rooms that should be reserved for last-minute customers, Q
= 3
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Charges per room per night (purchase cost) = $200
Charges for last-minute requests per room per night (selling price) - $300
Value of unsold reserved rooms (Salvage value) = $0
Minimum of last-minute customers, Min = 1
Maximum of last-minute customers, Max = 10
a) The cost of reserving too little by one, (the underage cost) Cu = Selling price - Purchasing cost
= $300 - $200
= $100
b) The cost of reserving too much by one, (the overage cost) Co = Purchasing cost - Salvage value
= $200 - $0
= $200
c) The optimal service level = Cu/Co+Cu
= $100/$200 + $100
= $100/$300
= 0.33
d) The number of rooms that should be reserved for last-minute customers, Q
= Cu/Co+Cu (Max - Min) + Min
= 0.33 * (10 - 1) + 1
= 0.33 * (10)
= 3

On January 1, 2016, Hage Corporation granted incentive stock options to purchase 21,500 of its common shares at $10 each. The options are exercisable after one year. The market price of common averaged $11 per share during the quarter ending on March 31, 2016. There was no change in the 150,000 shares of outstanding common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Net income for the quarter was $8,618. The number of shares to be used in computing diluted earnings per share for the quarter is (Round your final answer to whole number.): -
a. 171,500.
b. 150,000.
c. 151,955.
d. 169,545.
Answer:
c. 151,955
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The number of shares to be used in computing diluted earnings per share for the quarter is
First step is to calculate the amount assumed to be exercised
Exercised amount= 21,500*$10 / $11 avg
Exercised amount=$l215,000/11 avg
Exercised amount= 19,545
Second step is to calculate the Net
Net=21,500-19,545
Net= 1,955
Now let calculate The number of shares to be used in computing diluted earnings per share
Using this formula
Number of shares=Outstanding+Net
Let plug in the formula
Number of shares=150,000 +1,955
Number of shares= 151,955
*diluted eps=$8,618 /151,955
Therefore The number of shares to be used in computing diluted earnings per share for the quarter is: 151,955

Buffalo BBQ Restaurant is trying to become more efficient in training its chefs. It is experimenting with two training programs aimed at this objective. Both programs have basic and advanced training modules. The restaurant has provided the following data regarding the two programs after two weeks of implementation:
Training Program A Training Program B
New chef # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Hours of basic training 22 24 28 21 23 25 24 29 31 28
Hours of advanced training 8 7 8 10 11 4 3 0 1 2
Number of chef mistakes 12 13 15 14 14 7 6 8 5 6
a. Compute the following performance metrics for each program:
(1) Average hours of employee training per chef, rounded to one decimal place.
(2) Average number of mistakes per chef, rounded to one decimal place.
b. Which program should the restaurant implement moving forward?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
(1) Average hours of employee training per chef.
Program A:
Hours of basic training = 22 + 24 + 28 + 21 + 23 = 118
Hours of advanced training = 8 + 7 + 8 + 10 + 11 = 44
Total hours of training = 118 + 44 = 162
Number of chefs in A = 5
Average hours of employee training per chef in A = 162/5 = 32.4
Average hours of employee training per chef for Program B
Hours of basic training = 25 + 24 + 29 + 31 + 28 = 137
Hours of advanced training = 4 + 3 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 10
Total hours of training = 137 + 10 = 147
Number of chefs in B = 5
Average hours of employee training per chef in B = 147/5 = 29.4
(2) Average number of mistakes per chef for Program A:
Number of chefs mistake = 12 + 13 + 15 + 14 + 14 = 68
Number of chefs = 5
Average number of mistakes per chef for Program A: = 68/5 = 13.6
Average number of mistakes per chef for Program B
Number of chefs mistake = 7 + 6 + 8 + 5 + 6 = 32
Number of chefs = 5
Average number of mistakes per chef for Program B: = 32/5 = 6.4
b. Which program should the restaurant implement moving forward?
The restaurant should Implement program B because less training is required and less mistakes are made.
Fitness Fanatics is a regional chain of health clubs. The managers of the clubs, who have authority to make investments as needed, are evaluated based largely on return on investment (ROI). The company's Springfield Club reported the following results for the past year:
Sales $750,000
Net operating income $15,000
Average operating assets $100,000
Required:
Compute the Fitness Fanatics’s return on investment (ROI).
Answer:
The Fitness Fanatics’s return on investment (ROI) is 15%.
Explanation:
Return on investment (ROI) can be computed as the ratio of the net operating income to average operating assets as expressed in percentage as follows:
ROI = Net operating income / Average operating assets .............. (1)
Where, for Fitness Fanatics, we have:
Net operating income = $15,000
Average operating assets = $100,000
Substituting this into equation (1), we have:
ROI = $15,000 / $100,000 = 0.15, or 15%
Therefore, the Fitness Fanatics’s return on investment (ROI) is 15%.
Aardvark Enterprises has agreed to be acquired by Lawson Products in exchange for $16,000 worth of Lawson Products stock. Lawson has 1,100 shares of stock outstanding at a price of $15 a share. Aardvark has 1,700 shares outstanding with a market value of $21 a share. The incremental value of the acquisition is $3,800. What is the value of Lawson Products after the merger? $51,520 $41,440 $56,000 $49,280 $44,800
Answer: $56000
Explanation:
The value of Lawson Products after the merger will be calculated thus:
Number of shares = 1100
Price of share = $15
Value of Lawson share = $16500
Number of shares = 1700
Price of share = $21
Value of Aardvark share = $35700
Market value of both firms will be:
= $16500 + $35700
= $52200
We then less incremental earnings from the market value and this will be:
= $52200 + $3800
= $56000
Therefore, the value of Lawson Products after the merger is $56000
Saginaw Steel Corporation has a precredit U.S. tax of $105,000 on $500,000 of taxable income in 2018. Saginaw has $200,000 of foreign source taxable income and paid $60,000 of income taxes to the German government on this income. All of the foreign source income is treated as foreign branch income for foreign tax credit purposes. Saginaw's foreign tax credit on its 2018 tax return will be:
Answer: $42000
Explanation:
Saginaw's foreign tax credit on its 2018 tax return will be calculated thus:
= Foreign source taxable income × precredit U.S tax/Taxable income
= 200000 × 105000/500000
= 200000 × 0.21
= 42000
Therefore, the foreign tax credit will be the least between $60,000 paid to the German government or $42000. In this case, the answer is $42000
Your firm is preparing to open a new retail strip mall and you have multiple businesses that would like lease space in it. Each business will pay a fixed amount of rent each month plus a percentage of the gross sales generated each month. The cash flows from each of the businesses has approximately the same amount of risk.

The nine-cell attractiveness-strength matrix provides clear, strong logic for Group of answer choices using both industry attractiveness and business strength measurements in allocating resources and investment capital to a corporation's different businesses. measuring only business strength in allocating resources and investment capital to the different businesses. using both resource fit and product strength measurements in allocating resources and investment capital to its different businesses. concentrating resources in only those business units that are destined for squeezing out the maximum cash flows. concentrating resources to bolster unattractive and competitively weak performers in the corporate portfolio.
Answer:
using both industry attractiveness and business strength measurements in allocating resources and investment capital to a corporation's different businesses.
Explanation:
A nine-cell matrix can be defined as a strategic framework that provides a systematic approach used multi-business corporations to set priority on their investments among the different business units. Thus, it offers strategic implications of an investment by evaluating business portfolios, which are mainly based on business strength and market attractiveness.
Furthermore, the nine-cell industry attractiveness competitive strength matrix is a strategic framework adopted by individuals or managers in order to assist them in deciding which businesses should have low, average, and high priorities in deploying corporate resources.
Hence, the nine-cell attractiveness-strength matrix provides clear, strong logic for using both industry (market) attractiveness and business strength measurements in allocating corporate resources and investment capital to the different businesses owned by a corporation.
Kent Manufacturing produces a product that sells for $120.00. Fixed costs are $179,400 and variable costs are $36.00 per unit. Kent can buy a new production machine that will increase fixed costs by $12,480 per year, but will decrease variable costs by $9.60 per unit. Compute the revised break-even point in dollars with the purchase of the new machine.
Answer:
$246,000
Explanation:
Break even point is computed as
= Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin
With the purchase of a new production machine, total fixed costs would increase by $12,480.
New total fixed costs = $179,400 + $12,480 = $191,880
New Contribution margin = Sales price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= [$120 - ($36 - $9.6)]
= $120 - $26.4
= $93.6
New break even point in unit of output = $191,880 ÷ $93.6
= 2,050 units
Therefore,
New break even (dollars) = 2,050 × $120 = $246,000

Sales to unaffiliated customers $3,500,000
Intersegment sales of products similar to those sold to
unaffiliated customers 1,050,000
Interest earned on loans to other operating segments 70,000
Total entity income $4,620,000
Reportable segment = 10% of $4,620,000 = $462,000, which is more than
Intersegment sales and interest = $1,120,000 ($1,050,000 + $70,000)
If the financial markets are strong form efficient, then: Question 22 options: 1) only the most talented analysts can consistently outperform the market. 2) technical analysis provides the best tool to use to gain a marketplace advantage. 3) only individuals with private information have a marketplace advantage. 4) no one individual has an advantage in the marketplace.
Answer:
4) no one individual has an advantage in the marketplace.
Explanation:
Strong form efficiency in a market is defined as a situation where prices are already influenced by public and insider information.
No one person or group have an advantage as a result of insider information.
So they can't predict future price movements accurately.
Price is a function of market forces. Fundamental and technical analysis cannot be used as prediction tools.
In this situation no one individual has an advantage in the marketplace.

In order to close the sale, DeGraw agreed to make the bill payable in yen, thus agreeing to take some exchange rate risk for the transaction. The terms were net 6 months. If the yen fell against the dollar such that one dollar would buy 154.4 yen when the invoice was paid, what dollar amount would DeGraw actually receive after it exchanged yen for U.S. dollars
Answer:
DeGraw Corporation
The dollar amount that DeGraw would actually receive after it exchanged yen for U.S. dollars is:
= $845,207
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Japanese Yen U.S. Dollar
Price Price
Sale of a solar heating station 130.5 million $932,143.86 (130.5m/140 yen)
Payment in 6 months' time 130.5 million $845,207.25 (130.5m/154.4 yen)
b) When the yen fell against the dollar from 140 yen to 154.4 yen, the dollar amount that DeGraw would receive reduced from $932,143 to $845,207.25. This is a loss of $86,935.61 due to exchange rate fluctuations.

In the essay entitled, "Nature's Entrepreneurs" Professor Terry Anderson points out that private businesses have every incentive to enhance environmental quality on their own property (under the right rules). He uses the example of International Paper Corporation. Explain their actions as outlined in Anderson's essay. (approximately 8 sentences).
Your friend Harold is trying to decide whether to buy or lease his next vehicle. He has gathered information about each option but is not sure how to compare the alternatives. Purchasing a new vehicle will cost $28,500, and Harold expects to spend about $700 per year in maintenance costs. He would keep the vehicle for five years and estimates that the salvage value will be $11,300. Alternatively, Harold could lease the same vehicle for five years at a cost of $3,705 per year, including maintenance. Assume a discount rate of 10 percent.
Requirement:
1. Calculate the net present value of Harold’s options. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.
2. Advise Harold about which option he should choose.
Lease Option
Purchase Option
Answer:
$-24,137.14
$-14,044.86
He should choose the lease option
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Purchase option
Cash flow in year 0 = $-28,500
Cash flow in year 1 - 4 = -700
Cash flow in year 2 = 11,300 - 700 = 10,600
I = 10%
NPV= -24,137.14
Lease option
Cash flow in year 1 - 5 = 3705
I = 10%
NPV= -14,044.86
the lease option is less expensive and should be chosen
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

At 60,000 machine hours, Boris Company static budget for variable overhead costs is $180,000. At 60,000 machine hours, the company's static budget for fixed overhead costs is $300,000. Machine hours are the cost driver of all overhead costs. The static budget is based on 60,000 machine hours. At 60,000 machine hours, the company produces 40,000 units. The following data is available:
Actual units produced and sold 42,000
Actual machine hours 64,000
Actual variable overhead costs $185,600
Actual fixed overhead costs $302,400
What is the fixed overhead spending variance?
A) $2,400 Favorable
B) $2,400 Unfavorable
C) $1,000 Unfavorable
D) $1,000 Favorable
Answer:
$2,400 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed overhead spending variance is shown below;
We know that
fixed overhead spending variance = actual fixed overhead - budgeted fixed overhead
= $302,400 - $300,000
= $2,400 unfavorable
As actual fixed overhead is more than the standard fixed overhead so it should be unfavorable else it is favorable
Carmel Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine costing $52,000 with a 4-year useful life and no salvage value. Carmel uses straight-line depreciation and assumes that the annual cash inflow from the machine will be received uniformly throughout each year. In calculating the accounting rate of return, what is Carmel's average inv
Answer:
$26,000
Explanation:
Average investment = (Initial investment + Salvage value) / 2
Average investment = ($52,000 + $0) / 2
Average investment = $52,000 / 2
Average investment = $26,000
So, Carmel's average investment is $26,000.
At the beginning of the current year, Max Corp. granted restricted stock units (RSUs) representing 30 million of its $1 par common shares to executives, subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within four years. After the recipients of the RSUs satisfy the vesting requirement, the company will distribute the shares. The common shares had a market price of $12 per share on the grant date. Ignoring taxes, what is the effect on earnings(net income) in the current year after the shares are granted to executives
Answer:
$90 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the effect on earnings (net income) in the current year after the shares are granted to executives
First step is to calculate the fair value of shares represented by RSUs
Using this formula
Fair value of shares represented by RSUs=Fair value per share*Shares represented by RSUs shares granted
Let plug in the formula
Fair value of shares represented by RSUs=$12 *30 million
Fair value of shares represented by RSUs=$360 million
Now let calculate the Effect on earnings
Using this formula
Effect on earnings=Fair value of shares represented by RSUs/Vesting period
Let plug in the formula
Effect on earnings=$360 million/4 years
Effect on earnings=$90 million
Therefore the effect on earnings (net income) in the current year after the shares are granted to executives is $90 million
7. Which of the following is NOT a function of money * 3 points A Unit of account B Store of value C Protection against inflation D Medium of exchange
Answer:
C Protection against inflation
Explanation:
As we know that there are three functions of money i.e.
1. Unit of account
2. Store of value
3. Medium of exchange
There is only 3 functions of money that are shown above
So the protection against inflation would not be considered for the same
And, these 3 would represent the functions of money and can be treated as the unit of account, store of value and the medium of exchange
Hence, the option c is correct
Your firm has a contract to build one custom-designed machine that costs $100,000,000. This machine will operate at a paper recycling plant. It will take 1,000,000 pieces of paper per day, shred them into tiny fragments, grind them into paper dust, and create pulp used to make recycled paper envelopes. You need a gear motor to run at 10 horsepower with an output speed of 10 RPM. Your other option is buy a 10 horsepower, 1750 RPM motor, and design your own transmission system to reduce the speed to 10 RPM. Your firm has 10 engineers, and 2 of them would work full-time for six months to get the transmission system designed and built. The purchased gear motor would cost $10,000 and the purchase motor would cost $3,000. The transmission parts would cost another $3,000, saving you $4,000. Time is of the essence. You have only 6 months to design and build your machine.
Which makes more sense to you, buy the gear motor, or buy an AC motor and design and build your own gear transmission system?
Answer:
Buy the gear motor
Explanation:
Given that form the question Time is very important factor to be considered hence it will make more sense to buy the gear motor rather than buying the an AC motor because you cannot rely on the two engineers working fulltime for 6 months because of the factor of uncertainty which might lead to delay in shipment . also the difference in cost is not much compared to the value of the contract ( $1 billion )
Cost of Gear motor = $10,000
cost of AC motor = $3000 + $3000 = $6000

The APBO at the beginning of the year was $6,000. The appropriate discount rate for this postretirement plan is 5%. The employee is expected to serve the company for a total of 25 years with 5 of those years already served as of January 1, 2018. What is the APBO at December 31, 2018? Group of answer choices $7,200. $6,300. $7,560. $7,500.
Answer:
$7,560
Explanation:
Calculation to determine APBO at December 31, 2018.
Using this formula
December 31 APBO=(Beginning EPBO*Discount rate)*6/25
Let plug in the formula
December 31 APBO=($30,000 * 1.05) * 6/25
December 31 APBO= $7,560
Therefore APBO at December 31, 2018 is $7,560

NPV = $10,633,300
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Initial investment cost of production facility = $15 million
Estimated useful life of equipment = 10 years
Residual value = $500,000
Annual depreciation expense = $1,450,000 ($15m - $500,000)/10
Net Annual Cash inflows = Net operating income + Depreciation
= $2,690,000 + $1,450,000 = $4,140,000
Riverbed Corp bought equipment on January 1, 2022. The equipment cost $460000 and had an expected salvage value of $65000. The life of the equipment was estimated to be 5 years. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. The book value of the equipment at the beginning of the third year would be $395000. $158000. $302000. $460000.
Answer:
Book value= $302,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $460,000
Salvage value= $65,000
Useful life= 5 years
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation.
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (460,000 - 65,000) / 5
Annual depreciation= $79,000
Now, the accumulated depreciation after 2 full years:
Accumulated depreciation= 79,000*2= $158,000
Finally, the book value:
Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation
Book value= 460,000 - 158,000
Book value= $302,000
