Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: the market not wanting advances in technology.
Explanation:
To begin with, the fact that the new product is an example of advanced technology it does not exactly engages in the fact that it will work in every market that it will be launched. That is the example presented in the case, the new product is so good but the market where it launched it was not ready yet for its arrival and that is because it did not have the refueling stations so that implicates that if there are not those stations then the demand of that type of cars is not enough and therefore the market is not wanting that kind of advances in technology so that is why that to someone in Michigan the Mirai would be a poor purchase.

A building was purchased for $68,000. The asset has an expected useful life of eight years and depreciation expense each year is $5,000 using the straight-line method. What is the residual value of the building?A. $13,625 B. $8,625 C. $37,000.
The options provided are incorrect. The correct answer is given below.
Answer:
Residual value = $28000
Explanation:
The straight line method of charging depreciation is a method that charges a constant depreciation expense throughout the useful life of the asset. The formula to calculate the depreciation expense under the straight line method is as follows,
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual value) / Estimated useful life of the asset
Plugging in the values for depreciation expense, cost and estimated useful life, we can calculate the residual value to be,
5000 = (68000 - Residual value) / 8
5000 * 8 = 68000 - Residual value
40000 + Residual value = 68000
Residual value = 68000 - 40000
Residual value = $28000
Henri earned a salary of $50,000 in 2001 and $70,000 in 2006. The consumer price index was 177 in 2001 and 265.5 in 2006. Henri's 2006 salary in 2001 dollars is:_______.a. $105,000.00. b. $46,666.67. c. $35,000.00. d. $61,950.00
Answer: $46666.67
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Henri earned a salary of $50,000 in 2001 and $70,000 in 2006 and that the consumer price index was 177 in 2001 and 265.5 in 2006.
For us to calculate Henri's 2006 salary in 2001 dollars, we have to multiply Henri's 2001 real salary by the price in 2001. This will be:
= (70000/265.5) × 177
= $46666.67

Tech Solutions is a consulting firm that uses a job-order costing system. Its direct materials consist of hardware and software that it purchases and installs on behalf of its clients. The firm's direct labor includes salaries of consultants that work at the client's job site, and its overhead consists of costs such as depreciation, utilities, and insurance related to the office headquarters as well as the office supplies that are consumed serving clients.
Tech Solutions computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 90,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period’s estimated level of client service. The company also estimated $1,080,000 of fixed overhead cost for the coming period and variable overhead of $0.50 per direct labor-hour. The firm’s actual overhead cost for the year was $1,098,900 and its actual total direct labor was 93,350 hours.
Required:
Answer:
1. Predetermined overhead rate = $12.50
2. Job Cost = $62,500
Explanation:
Note: The Requirement is attached as picture below
1. Predetermined fixed overhead rate = Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead / Estimated total amount of the allocation base
Predetermined fixed overhead rate = $1,080,000 / 90,000
Predetermined fixed overhead rate = $12 per Direct labor hour
The Predetermined variable overhead rate per Direct labor hour is $0.50
Predetermined overhead rate = Fixed overhead rate + Variable overhead rate
Predetermined overhead rate = $12 + $0.50
Predetermined overhead rate = $12.50
2. The total job cost is given below:
Job Cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Overheads
Job Cost = $38,000 + $21,000 + (280*$12.50)
Job Cost = $38,000 + $21,000 + $3,500
Job Cost = $62,500
Suppose you have $10,000 in cash and you decide to borrow another $10,000 at a(n)6% interest rate to invest in the stock market. You invest the entire $20,000 in an exchange-traded fund (ETF)with a 10% expected return and a 20% volatility. Assume that the ETF you invested in returns -10%. Then the realized return on your investment is closest to ________.
A)-18%
B)-10%
C)-23%
D)-26%
Answer:
D)-26%
Explanation:
The computation of the realized return on your investment is shown below:
= (Rate of return × total investment) - (interest paid)
= (-10% × $20,000) - (6% × $1,000)
= (-$2000 - $600)
= -$2,600
Now the Rate of return is
=(-$2,600 ÷ $10,000)
= -26%
hence, the realized return on your investment is -26%
Therefore the correct option is D.
Jammer Company uses a perpetual weighted average inventory system and reports the following: August 2 Purchase 17 units at $15.00 per unit. August 18 Purchase 19 units at $13.00 per unit. August 29 Sale 34 units. August 31 Purchase 22 units at $18.00 per unit. What is the per-unit value of ending inventory on August 31?
Answer:
Weighted-average ending inventory cost= $17.75
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total cost of ending inventory:
August 2= 17*15= 255
August 18= 19*13= 247
August 29= (19*13 + 15*15)= (472)
August 31= 22*18= 396
Total ending inventory= $426
Now, the weighted average cost per unit of ending inventory:
Ending inventory in units= 24
Weighted-average ending inventory cost= (426/24)
Weighted-average ending inventory cost= $17.75
Calculate current assets Sales Revenue $25,000 Accounts Payable $1,200 Accounts Receivable $2,600 Inventory $3,200 Supplies $300 Cost of Goods Sold $16,000 Notes Payable (due in 2 years) $24,000 Equipment $40,000 Accumulated Depreciation $12,000 Land $30,000 Unearned Revenue $1,100 Taxes Payable $1,400 Prepaid Rent (3 months) $2,100 Cash $5,200
Answer: $13,400
Explanation:
Current Assets are those that will be used up in a year and in this question are;
= Accounts Receivable + Inventory + Supplies + Prepaid rent + Cash
= 2,600 + 3,200 + 300 + 2,100 + 5,200
= $13,400
What is the effect on real GDP of a $150 billion change in planned investment if the MPC is 0.65? $ nothing billion. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)Consumption $1,200 2,100 3,000 Disposable Income $3,000 4,000 5,000 Given the consumption schedule in the table above, the marginal propensity to consume is:______a. 0.1b. 0.3c. 0.9d. 0.6
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the effect on real GDP is shown below:
change in GDP is
= Multiplier × change in investment
= 1 ÷ (1 - MPC) × change in investment
= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.65) × $150 billion
= 2 × $150 billion
= $300 billion
And, the marginal propensity to consume is
= Change in spending of consumer ÷ income change
= (2,100 - 1,200) ÷ (4,000 - 3,000)
= 900 ÷ 1,000
= 0.9

Larkin Corporation acquired two inventory items at a lump-sum cost of $120,000. The acquisition included 3,000 units of product LG and 7,000 units of product KB. LG normally sells for $30 per unit and KB for $10 per unit. If Larkin sells 1,000 units of LG, what amount of gross profit should it recognize? a. $20,000. b. $24,500. c. $2,500. d. $7,500.
Answer:
d. $7,500
Explanation:
The computation of the gross profit is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
Tota sales are
= 3000 units × $30 + 7,000 units × $10
= $90,000 + $70,00 0
= $160,000
Now the weighted of LG is
= $90,000 ÷ $160,000 × $120,000
= $67,500
The unit cost would be
= $67,500 ÷ 3,000 units
= $22.5 per unit
Finally the gross profit is
= (Sales price - cost price) × number of units sold
= ($30 - $22.5) × 1,000
= $7,500
hence, the correct option is d. $7,500
Hodgkiss Mfg., Inc., is currently operating at only 91 percent of fixed asset capacity. Current sales are $715,000. Fixed assets are $520,000 and sales are projected to grow to $790,000. How much in new fixed assets are required to support this growth in sales?
Answer:
$2,980
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of new fixed assets required to support project sales, we need to first determine the amount of fixed assets required to support $1 of sales
The sales value at full capacity is;
Full capacity sales = 715,000 / 0.91
Full capacity sales = $785,714
To calculate the $ amount of fixed asset requires to support $1 in sales, we need to first calculate the ratio of fixed asset to sales. The ratio is;
Fixed asset to sales = 520,000 / 785,714 = 0.662
Hence, to support a sales of level of $790,000 the total amount of fixed assets required will be;
Total fixed assets required = $790,000 × 0.662 = $522,980
Therefore, new fixed assets required
= $522,980 - $520,000
= $2,980
If $30,000 is deposited in a savings account at the end of each year and the account pays interest of 5% compounded annually, what will be the balance of the account at the end of 10 years
Answer:
the balance of the account at the end of 10 years is $377,336.78
Explanation:
The computation of the balance of the account at the end of 10 years is shown below;
Future value = PMT × [((1 + rate of interest)^time period - 1) ÷ rate of interest]
= $30,000 × [((1 + 0.05)^10 -1) ÷ 0.05]
= $30,000 [((1 + 0.62889 - 1) ÷ 0.05
= $30,000 × 12.5779
= $377,336.78
Hence, the balance of the account at the end of 10 years is $377,336.78

Philip Morris bought Miller Brewing and used its marketing expertise to improve Miller's market share. This justification for diversification is best described as _________.A) utilizing common infrastructures.B) capitalizing on core competencies.C) reducing corporate risk.D) using portfolio analysis.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: Capitalizing on core competencies.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the field of business when we talk about "core competencies" we use the term to refer to something that a company can add to its business strategy with the purpose to add more value to the final benefit that the final consumer will obtain from the consumption of the good. Therefore that it means that capitalizing on core competencies refers to the situation where a company decides to add a superior value to its product by achiving diversification in its strategy and more specifically in this case, in its marketing campaign so that is why that Philip Morris will capitalize on core competencies by using marketing expertises from the other firm that has just bought.
Tubaugh Corporation has two major business segments--East and West. In December, the East business segment had sales revenues of $260,000, variable expenses of $145,000, and traceable fixed expenses of $33,000. During the same month, the West business segment had sales revenues of $930,000, variable expenses of $488,000, and traceable fixed expenses of $177,000. The common fixed expenses totaled $262,000 and were allocated as follows: $131,000 to the East business segment and $131,000 to the West business segment.
The contribution margin of the West business segment is:
Answer:
=$422,000
Explanation:
As per the contribution margin concept, the contribution margin per unit is equal to the selling price per unit minus variable costs.
Therefore, the total contribution margin is the sales minus variable costs.
The contribution margin for the west will be sales($930,000) minus variable cost($488,000)
=$930 ,000 - $488,000
=$422,000

Randy Rudecki purchased a call option on British pounds for $0.07 per unit. The strike price was $1.45 and the spot rate at the time the option was exercised was $1.46. Assume there are 30,600 units in a British pound option. What was Randy's net profit on this option?
Answer:
$30,599.94
Explanation:
Profit per unit on exercising the option = $1.45 - $1.45 = $0.01
Premium paid per unit = $0.07
Net Profit per unit = Profit per unit on exercising the option - Premium paid per unit
Net Profit per unit = $0.01 - $0.07
Net Profit per unit = -$0.06
Net profit per option = 30,600 units * -$0.06
Net profit per option = $30,599.94

Leia just read that the national debt owed by the federal government is at an all-time high. (Explain any possible impact on the federal government from unexpected inflation.)
Answer:
If the government of the country where Leia is from has a national debt at an all-time high, and at the same time, unexpected high inflation hits, the situation for the government can become extremely dire.
This is because high inflation will lower the value of the domestic currency, which is probably not the currency in which most of of the debt is owed. The proportion of the national debt that is owed in foreign currency will then become more expensive, because more units of domestic currency will be needed to exchange for the foreign currency, rendering the cost of the national debt a lot higher.

Suppose $200 is deposited in a savings account at the beginning of each of 15 years and the account pays 8% per annum, the value at the end of 15 years will be about:_________.
Answer:
FV= $5,864.86
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual deposit= $200 at the beginning
Number of periods= 15 years
Interest rate= 8%
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}
A= annual deposit
FV= {200*[(1.08^15) - 1]}/0.08 + {[(200*(1.08^15)] - 200}
FV= 5,430.42 + 434.44
FV= $5,864.86

Explanation:
When a company sells goods, it removes their cost from the balance sheet and reports the cost on the income statement as cost of goods sold.
For instance, in a perpetual system of inventory; which can be defined as a method of financial accounting, that involves the updating informations about an inventory on a continuous basis (in real-time) as the sales or purchases are being made by the customers, through the use of enterprise management software applications and a digitized point-of-sale equipment.
Under a perpetual system of inventory, updates of the journal entry for cost of goods sold or received would include debiting accounts receivable and crediting sales immediately as it is being made or happening. The advantage of the perpetual system of inventory over the periodic system of inventory is that, it ensures the inventory account balance is always accurate provided there are no spoilage, theft etc.
In Accounting, to record a journal entry for a sale on account, the account receivable would be debited because it is an asset and shall be increased with debits while crediting the sales account for the amount being paid by the customer.

A. $790,000
B. $800,000
C. $484,000
D $642,000
Answer:
Book value of the asset = $484,000
Explanation:
Given:
Equipment cost = $800,000
Residual value = $10,000
Computation:
Depreciation = (Equipment cost - Residual value) / Life
Depreciation = ($800,000 - $ 10,000) / 5
Depreciation = $ 158,000 per year
Depreciation for 2 year =$ 158,000 x 2
Depreciation for 2 year = $316,000
Book value of the asset = Equipment cost - Depreciation for 2 year
Book value of the asset = $800,000 - $316,000
Book value of the asset = $484,000
