Between January 2010 and January 2016, U.S. employment increased by 12.1 million workers, but the number of unemployed workers declined by only 7.3 million. True or False: The labor force has remained unchanged.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

False, the labor forced increased

Explanation:

labor force = total number of people actively working (employed) or searching for jobs (unemployed)

lets say L = the total labor force in 2010

by 2016, L had increased by 12.1 million and decreased by 7.3 million

net change of L = 12.1 - 7.3 = 4.8 more million people were part of the labor force in 2016 than in 2010.

Heels, a shoe manufacturer, is evaluating the costs and benefits of new equipment that would custom fit each pair of athletic shoes. The customer would have his or her foot scanned by digital computer equipment; this information would be used to cut the raw materials to provide the customer a perfect fit. The new equipment costs $107,000 and is expected to generate an additional $43,000 in cash flows for five years. A bank will make a $107,000 loan to the company at a 15% interest rate for this equipment’s purchase. Compute the recovery time for both the payback period and break-even time.

Answers

Answer:

Payback period = 2.49 years

Break-even time = 3.36 years

Explanation:

a. Calculation of payback period

The payback period can be described as the amount of time it will take a firm recover its cost on a project or an investment.

The payback period can be calculated as follows:

Equipment cost = $107,000

Annual cash flow = $43,000

Payback period = Equipment cost / Annual cash flow = $107,000 / $43,000 = 2.49 years

b. Calculation of break-even time

Note: See the attached excel file for the computation of the cumulative present value of inflow (outflow).

In the attached excel, the present value (PV) factor is calculated using the following formula:

PV factor = 1/(1 + r)^n ............................... (1)

Where;

r = interest rate = 15%

n = a particular year from 1 to 5.

Break even time can be described as the amount of time that is needed for both the discounted cash flows and the initial cost of a project to be equal.

The break-even time is calculated using the following formula:

Break-even time = X + (Y / Z) .................... (2)    

X = Last year with a negative cumulative cash flow = 3

Y = Absolute value of cumulative cash flow at the end of period X = $8,821.32

Z = Present value of cash inflow for the period following X = $24,585.39  

Break-even time = 3 + ($8,821.32 / $24,585.39) = 3 + 0.36 = 3.36 years

Answers

Answer:

(A) 20.54

(B) 24.46

(C) 30.88

Explanation:

(A) The current stock price can be calculated as follows

Po= 1.55(1+6/100)/(14/100-6/100)

= 1.55(1+0.06)/(0.14-0.06)

= 1.55(1.06)/0.08

=1.643/0.08

= 20.54

(B) The stock price after 3 years can be calculated as follows

Po = 1.55(1+6/100)^4/(14/100-6/100)

= 1.55(1+0.06)^4/(0.14-0.06)

= 1.55(1.06)^4/0.08

= 1.55(1.2624)/0.08

= 1.9567/0.08

= 24.46

(C) The stock price after 7 years can be calculated as follows

Po= 1.55(1+6/100)^8/(14/100-6/100)

= 1.55(1+0.06)^8/(0.14-0.06)

= 1.55(1.06)^8/(0.08)

= 1.55(1.5938)/0.08

= 2.470/0.08

= 30.88

For most consumers, maximizing utility through consumption generally means finding good deals in order to maximize the utility received for each dollar spent. However, some makers of luxury goods believe that their customers actually achieve utility by paying high prices. As a result, lowering prices may lead to reduced sales for the makers of luxury goods. How is this counterintuitive concept rationalized by analysis of consumer behavior and the utility maximization rule

Answers

Answer:

The explanation of that situation is below.

Explanation:

To begin with, the most important factor to have in mind in the situation explained above is the fact that we are talking about a "luxury good" and therefore that when it comes to this type of goods is better when the majority of the people do not possess or at least they must represent the fact that they are exclusive for only some part of the population. That is why that those goods use the strategy of increase always the price because that will means that they are not affordable for the majority of the society but only for a few and that will give to the owner of the good a sense of uniqueness and with that it also comes the sense of superiority. That is why that when it comes to this type of good the analysis change and it collides with the other theory of utility maximation.

Troy, a cash basis taxpayer, owns an office building. His records reflect the following for 20X1. On March 1, 20X1, office B was leased for twelve months for $12,000. A $900 security deposit was received which will be used as the last month's rent. On September 30, 20X1, the tenant in office A paid Troy $3,600 to cancel the lease expiring on March 31, 20X1. The lease of the tenant in office C expired on December 31, 20X1, and the tenant left improvements valued at $1,400. The improvements were not in lieu of any required rent. Considering just these four amounts, what amount must Troy include in rental income on his income tax return for 20X1?
a. $17,900
b. $17,000
c. $16,500
d. $13,800

Answers

Answer:

c. $16,500

Explanation:

The rental revenue from office B must be included even though 3 months of rent belong to 20x2 = $12,000 + the $900 security deposit (last moth of rent). The $3,600 received for canceling the lease of office A should also be included. Total rental income = $12,000 + $900 + $3,600 = $16,500.

Cash basis taxpayers recognize revenue when they collect money, and recognize expenses when they pay for them. There are some exceptions that apply to prepaid expenses or unearned revenue. This is known as the 12 month rule. It means that if the cash collection or payment do not extend for more than 12 months after they were made, then they can be recorded as either revenues or expenses during the current period. Since the rent was prepaid in advance for 12 months, then all the cash received must be considered revenue.

Answers

Answer:Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = 11.50 times

Explanation:

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio  is calculated using

Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivable

Net Credit Sales for 2019 =  $1,032,000

Net Accounts Receivable in 2018 = Accounts Receivable in 2018 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in 2018

= $84,000 - $4,000

= $80,000

Net Accounts Receivable in 2019 = Accounts Receivable in 2019 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in 2019

= $107,000 - $7,500

= $99,500

Average Accounts Receivable = (Net Accounts Receivable in 2018 + Net Accounts Receivable in 2019) / 2

= ($80,000 + $99,500) / 2

= $179,500 / 2

= $89,750

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales in 2019 / Average Accounts Receivable

=   $1,032,000/ $89,750

= 11.498

What is Bates' net income after consideration of the above information

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Revenue = $440,000

Expenses = $340000

Accrued wages = $21000

Accrued revenues = $56000

Depreciation exp = $27000

Rental value earned but not recorded = $7000

Income tax rate = 40%

Total revenue = 440000 +56000 + 7000 = $503000

Total expenses = 340000 + 21000 + 27000 = $388000

Income before tax = 503000 - 388000 = $115000

income tax = 115000 x .4 = $46000

Net income = 115000 - 46000 = $69000 .

Donald is an agent representing Xmart, a large department store chain. Xmart has sent him to deal with Fred in regard to purchasing Fred's land in order to erect a new store. When Donald first meets Fred, Fred calls Xmart to verify that Donald is in fact an agent authorized to deal on Xmart's behalf. Xmart sends Fred a written confirmation of Donald's authorization to act as its agent and states that a contract signed by Donald will be honored by Xmart. Donald and Fred meet every other day during the negotiations. While the negotiations are still ongoing, Donald is fired by Xmart because it doesn't feel that he is making sufficient progress. Why is it important for Xmart to communicate with Fred regarding Donald's firing

Answers

Answer:

If Xmart doesn't notify Fred that Donald is not there agent anymore, then any agreement made between Donald and Fred will be valid and binding to Xmart.

Donald is no longer Xmart's agent, but unless Fred is notified, he still may act as an apparent agent. Apparent agents are people that someone could assume are acting on behalf of a principal, e.g. a person that wears a store's uniform inside a store is presumably a salesperson or someone that works for the store, therefore, he/she is an apparent agent. You do not ask for employment contracts when you enter a store.

Big Box Store has operated with a 30% average gross profit ratio for a number of years. It had $107,000 in sales during the second quarter of this year. If it began the quarter with $18,700 of inventory at cost and purchased $72,700 of inventory during the quarter, its estimated ending inventory by the gross profit method is:

Answers

Answer:

$16,500

Explanation:

The computation of the estimated ending inventory is given below:

As  We know that

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchase made - ending inventory

And, the

Sales - gross profit = Cost of goods sold

So,

$107,000 - $107,000 × 30% = Cost of goods sold

Therefore, the cost of goods sold is

= $107,000 - $32,100

= $74,900

And, finally the ending inventory is

$74,900 = $18,700 + $72,700 - ending inventory

$74,900 = $91,400  - ending inventory

So, the ending inventory is

= $91,400 - $74,900

= $16,500

Rufus Inc. and Hardy Company are negotiating a nontaxable exchange of business properties. Rufus’s property has a $50,000 tax basis and a $77,500 FMV. Hardy’s property has a $60,000 tax basis and a $90,000 FMV. Which party to the exchange must pay boot to make the exchange work? How much boot must be paid? Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Rufus realize and recognize on the exchange, and what tax basis will Rufus take in the property acquired? Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Hardy realize and recognize on the exchange and what tax basis will Hardy take in the property acquired?

Answers

Answer:

Which party to the exchange must pay boot to make the exchange work?

Rufus must pay boot since the FMV of its property is less than the FMV of Hardy's property.

How much boot must be paid?

$90,000 - $77,500 = $12,500

Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Rufus realize and recognize on the exchange, and what tax basis will Rufus take in the property acquired?

Rufus doesn't have any gain, and the tax basis for the new asset will be $50,000 + $12,500 = $62,500

Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Hardy realize and recognize on the exchange and what tax basis will Hardy take in the property acquired?

Since Hardy's property basis is $60,000 and it would be receiving $50,000 (Rufus's property) + $12,500 = $62,500, then it must recognize a $2,500 gain. The basis of Hardy's new property will be $62,500.

The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is:

Answers

Answer:

($18,500)

Explanation:

Book value of manufacturing equipment = $36,500

Current market value of equipment = $21,300

Cost of new machine = $113,000

Cash received from trading old machine = $21,300

Variable manufacturing costs of new machine reduced by $18,300 per year, over the four year

Total increase/decrease in net income = Cost of new machine + Cash received from trading old machine + Reduction in variable manufacturing costs

= ($113,000) + $21,300 + $18,300 × 4

= ($113,000) + $21,300 + $73,200

= ($18,500)

It therefore means that the total decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine is $18,500

Explain the risks associated with leveling resources, compressing or crashing projects, and imposed durations or "catch-up" as the project is being implemented. Why is it critical to develop a time-phased baseline? Subscribe to unlock

Answers

Answer:

Explain the risks associated with leveling resources, compressing or crashing projects, and imposed durations or "catch-up" as the project is being implemented.

a project manager will try to level resources in order to even out the use of resources throughout the whole project, but that can result in a deficit of resources during critical times.  E.g. trying to use 25% of resources during each year for a project that lasts 4 years. But some activities require a lot o resources but last a short time, while other activities might last longer and consume fewer resources. a project manager will try to compress a project's schedule because he/she wants to finish early, ideally without affecting the project's scope. The problem with compressing a project is that you might have to skip or eliminate certain activities in order to so so. E.g. a lot of pharmaceutical companies are trying to develop a vaccine that ends the current health crisis, and their rush are not following the appropriate steps. crashing activities refers to trying to finish some critical activity early by assigning more resources to it. The risks of crashing critical activities is that they might not be well done, or it might be too expensive.

Why is it critical to develop a time-phased baseline?

Without a well done time-phased baseline, it is very difficult to prepare a project schedule, or at least one that actually works. It is also important because it is very useful for cost control, and projects can easily go out of control and cost more than their budget.

"The fund is earning a low, but safe, 3% per year. The withdrawals will take place annually starting today. How soon will the fund be exhausted if Debbie withdraws $40,000 each year?"

Answers

Answer:

The question is missing the amount that Debbie's fund has, so I looked for similar questions and the number I found was $368,882.

we can use the present value of an annuity due formula to determine how long it will take Debbie to empty her account.

present value of annuity due = (payment / i) x {1 - [1 / (1 + i)ⁿ]} x (1 + i)

368,882 = (40,000 / 0.03) x {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.03)ⁿ]} x (1 + 0.03)

368,882 = 1,333,333.33 x 1.03 x {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.03)ⁿ]}

368,882 = 1,373,333.33 x {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.03)ⁿ]}

1 - [1 / (1.03)ⁿ] = 368,882 / 1,373,333.33 = 0.268603398

1 - 0.268603398 = [1 / (1.03)ⁿ]

0.731396601 = 1 / (1.03)ⁿ

1.03ⁿ = 1 / 0.731396601 = 1.367247261

n = log 1.367247261 / log 1.03 = 0.135847062 / 0.012837224 = 10.58 years

Debbie will exhaust the fund in 10.58 years. That means that Debbie will be able to withdraw $40,000 for 10 years, and then the last withdrawal will be lower.

Explanation:

A company distributes a product that sells for $50 per unit. Variable expenses are $10 per unit, and fixed expenses total $15,000 annually. Assume that the company sold 4,000 units last year. The sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in the selling price, combined with a $30,000 increase in advertising expenditures, would increase annual unit sales by 50%. If these changes were made, by how much would net operating income increase or decrease?

Answers

Answer:

Income will increase by $20,000.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the current income:

Current income= 4,000*(50 - 10) - 15,000= $145,000

Now, the new selling price, fixed costs, and sales in units:

Selling price= 50*0.9= $45

Fixed costs= $45,000

Sales= 4,000*1.5= 6,000

New income= 6,000*(45 - 10) - 45,000= $165,000

Difference= 165,000 - 145,000= 20,000

Income will increase by $20,000.

to beter take into account the differential impact of fixed and variable costs, marketing managers canuse ____ pricing

Answers

Answer:

target return pricing

Explanation:

Target return pricing is a pricing method that uses a very simple formula:

target price = [unit cost + (desired return x capital)] /unit sales

The price is based on the ROI that the company expects from a certain product (or project).

Even though this is a fairly simple method for pricing a good or service, it can also have serious negative consequences:

it doesn't take in account consumers' tastes or preferenceswhat happens if the expected ROI is too high, that could kill a project that could have been successful otherwisethe time frames are not always exact, e.g. you believed that a project would last 5 years, but due to a technological breakthrough it only lasts 4

In order to successfully apply this type of pricing strategy, a company must be able to achieve or exceed their sales goals.

What are the sources of brand equity?

Answers

Answer:

Ello, Imposter here

Explanation:

Brand equity is the commercial value that derives from consumer perception of the brand name of a particular product or service, rather than from the product or service itself.

hope this helps :P

Answer: According to Keller (2003) and his CBBE model, brand equity emerges from two sources namely brand awareness and brand image. According to this model, consumers build associations in their minds around a brand as the result of the marketing programs companies develop for their brands.

Crimson Inc. recorded credit sales of $797,000, of which $540,000 is not yet due, $170,000 is past due for up to 180 days, and $87,000 is past due for more than 180 days. Under the aging of receivables method, Crimson Inc. expects it will not collect 2% of the amount not yet due, 16% of the amount past due for up to 180 days, and 27% of the amount past due for more than 180 days. The allowance account had a debit balance of $3,800 before adjustment. After adjusting for bad debt expense, what is the ending balance of the allowance account

Answers

Answer:

$65,290

Explanation:

The computation of the ending balance of the allowance account is shown below:-

Bad Debts for accounts receivable not yet due is

= $540,000 × 0.02

= $10,800

Bad Debts for accounts receivable due for up-to 180 days:

= $170,000 × 0.16

= $27,200

Bad Debts for accounts receivable due for more than 180 days:

= $87,000 × 0.27

= $23,490

Ending balance of Allowance account:

= $3,800 + $10,800 + $27,200 + $23,490

= $65,290

If the interest rate this year is 8.8% and the interest rate next year will be 10.8%, what is the future value of $1 after 2 years? What is the present value of a payment of $1 to be received in 2 years?

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The interest rate this year is 8.8% and the interest rate next year will be 10.8%.

a) To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV1= 1*1.088= 1.088

FV2= 1.088*1.108=$1.206

b) To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:

PV=FV/(1+i)^n

PV2= 1/1.108= 0.903

PV1= 0.903/1.088= $0.83
