Answer:
C. It is difficult to develop accurate specifications for an item.
Explanation:
A product can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks etc.
Generally, these products are manufactured and distributed through different marketing channels to various wholesalers or retailers before it gets to the consumers or customers.
Hence, each product should be distinguished from another through its brand name in order to enhance easier identification by the customers.
Products should be specified by brand because it is difficult to develop accurate specifications for an item. Thus, when a supplier such as a retailer or wholesaler wishes to place an order to a manufacturer, he or she should specify the order by brand.

Clark has also provided the following information: The accounts receivable balance on December 31, 2019 was $177,400. Uncollectible accounts receivable written off during 2019 totaled $12,200. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance on January 1, 2019 was $15,400. How much is Clark's 2019 bad debt expense
Answer: $7200
Explanation:
Clark's 2019 bad debt expense will be calculated thus:
Balance for allowance for doubtful accounts will be:
= $177400 - $167000
= $10400
The Uncollectible accounts written off will be:
= $15400 - $12200
= $3200
Clark's 2019 bad debt expense:
= $10400 - $3200
= $7200

The number of compounding periods in one year is called compounding frequency. The compounding frequency affects both the present and future values of cash flows. An investor can invest money with a particular bank and earn a stated interest rate of 4.40%; however, interest will be compounded quarterly. What are the nominal, periodic, and effective interest rates for this investment opportunity?
Interest Rates
Nominal rate 4.40%
Periodic rate 1.10%
Effective annual rate 4.47%
Rahul needs a loan and is speaking to several lending agencies about the interest rates they would charge and the terms they offer. He particularly likes his local bank because he is being offered a nominal rate of 4%. But the bank is compounding daily. What is the effective interest rate that Rahul would pay for the loan?
a. 4.081%
b. 4.202%
c. 3.959%
d. 4.395%
Another bank is also offering favorable terms, so Rahul decides to take a loan of $22,000 from this bank. He signs the loan contract at 9% compounded daily for nine months. Based on a 365-day year, what is the total amount that Rahul owes the bank at the end of the loan's term? (Hint: To calculate the number of days, divide the number of months by 12 and multiply by 365.)
a. $24,477.81
b. $24,948.54
c. $23,536.36
d. $24,007.09
Answer:
1. a. 4.081%
2. c. $23,536.36
Explanation:
1. Periodic rate=(4.4%/4) = 1.1%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods
= (1+0.044/4)^4-1
= 1.011^4 - 1
= 1.04473133864 - 1
= 0.04473133864
= 4.47%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods
=(1+0.04/365)^365-1
= (1+0.00010958904)^365 - 1
= 1.00010958904^365 - 1
= 1.04080849272 - 1
= 0.04080849272
= 4.081%
2. A=P(1+r/365)^365*n
where A=future value, P=present value, r=rate of interest, n=time period.
= 22000*(1+9%/365)^(9/12*365)
= $23,536.36
Jessica and Robert have two young children. They have $7,000 of qualified child care expenses and an AGI of $22,000 in 2019. What is their allowable child and dependent care credit considering their pre-credit tax liability
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
The computation of the their allowable child and dependent care credit is shown below:
In the case when the income is below $35,000 than full 35% would be allowed
But the qualified child expense would be limited to $6,000
So, here the amount would be
= $6,000 × 35%
= $1,860
Already there is a pre credit tax liability so $0 should be considered as it would not received any credit
Suppose you won a $77,000 after-tax cash prize in the lottery. You want to start a new business that you think will lose money for a while, after which it will be up and running and bringing in big bucks. You plan to invest the funds immediately in securities that are expected to earn 8% per year. Suppose you would need only $19,000 per year during the start-up period. How long could you operate before you would require cash from the new business, i.e., how long could you receive payments of $19,000 per year? The first withdrawal will be made a year from today, and your answer will contain a fraction of a year.
Answer:
The right solution is "5.09 years".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Lottery amount
= $77,000
Withdrawal
= $19,000
Rate
= 8%
The number of withdrawal will be:
⇒ [tex]NPER(Rate,-withdrawal,lottery \ amount)[/tex]
On putting the values, we get
⇒ [tex]NPER(8 \ percent,-19000,77000)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]5.09 \ years[/tex]
Bob has been investing $4,000 in stock at the end of every year for the past 8 years. If the account is currently worth $45,000, what was his annual return on this investment?a. 10.61%b. 10.91%c. 8.81%d. 9.55%e. 9.07%
Answer:
d. 9.55%
Explanation:
we can use the future value of an annuity formula to calculate Bob's annual return:
future value = annual contribution x FV annuity factor
future value = $45,000
annual contribution = $4,000
FV annuity factor = ?
FV annuity factor = future value / annual contribution = $45,000 / $4,000 = 11.25
FV annuity factor = [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1] / i
11.25 = [(1 + i)⁸ - 1] / i
11.25i = (1 + i)⁸ - 1
solving this problem is really complicated, but there is a much simple way to do it:
e) 11.25 x 0.0907 = (1 + 0.0907)⁸ - 1
1.020375 ≠ 1.0028
d) 11.25 x 0.0955 = (1 + 0.0955)⁸ - 1
1.0744 = 1.0744 ⇒ this option is correct
A year after buying her car, Anita has been offered a job in Europe. Her car loan is for $27,000 at a 6% nominal interest rate for 48 months. If she can sell the car for $20,000, how much does she get to keep after paying off the loan
Answer:
Instead of keeping a balance she would rather need to pay the remaining mortgage balance of $843.51
Explanation:
The first task here is to compute the monthly payment of the car loan using the formula below:
PMT=P(r/n)/1-(1+r/n)^(-nt)
P=loan amount= $27,000
r=interest rate=6 %
n=number of monthly payments in a year=12
t= duration of loan=4 years ( 48/12)
PMT=27000*(6%/12)/(1-(1+6%/12)^(-4*12)
PMT=27000*(6%/12)/(1-(1+6%/12)^(-48)
PMT=27000*(6%/12)/(1-(1.005)^-48
PMT=135 /(1-0.787098411 )
PMT=634.10
The balance of the loan after one year is the present value of the remaining 36 monthly payments as computed thus:
PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
monthly payment=634.10
r=monthly interest rate=6%/12=0.5%
n=number of monthly payments left=36
PV=634.10*(1-(1+0.5%)^-36/0.5%
PV=634.10*(1-0.835644919 )/0.5%
pv=$20,843.51
balance left after paying the loan=$20,000-$20,843.51 =-$843.51
The following information pertains to Lightning Inc., at the end of December: Credit Sales $ 20,000 Accounts Payable 10,000 Accounts Receivable 12,900 Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts 400 credit Cash Sales 20,000 Lightning uses the aging method and estimates it will not collect 7% of accounts receivable not yet due, 15% of receivables up to 30 days past due, and 48% of receivables greater than 30 days past due. The accounts receivable balance of $12,900 consists of $10,000 not yet due, $1,600 up to 30 days past due, and $1,300 greater than 30 days past due. What is the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense
Answer:
$1,164
Explanation:
Calculation for the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense
Bad Debt Expense= (10,000 * 0.07) + (1,600 * 0.15) + (1,300 * 0.48) =
Bad Debt Expense=700+240+624
Bad Debt Expense=1,564 -400
Bad Debt Expense=$1,164
Therefore the appropriate amount of Bad Debt Expense will be $1,164
As a result of a thorough physical inventory, Coronado Company determined that it had inventory worth $321000 at December 31, 2020. This count did not take into consideration the following facts: Walker Consignment currently has goods worth $46300 on its sales floor that belong to Coronado but are being sold on consignment by Walker. The selling price of these goods is $75000. Coronado purchased $21100 of goods that were shipped on December 27, FOB destination, that will be received by Coronado on January 3. Determine the correct amount of inventory that Coronado should report.
Answer:
The correct cost of inventory that Coronado should report is $367300
Explanation:
The goods sent on consignment still belong to the consignor until they are sold off by the consignee. So, the consignor should add the unsold consignment goods in its inventory. Thus we will add the cost of goods sent on consignment to the value of inventory.
Value of inventory = 321000 + 46300 = $367300
The goods purchased by Coronado on 27 December with FOB destination should not be added to the cost of inventory as with FOB destination terms, the goods do not belong to the buyer until they are delivered to their destination by the seller.
Thus, the correct cost of inventory that Coronado should report is $367300

Pauley Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Pauley expects to sell 22,000 units and wants a target profit of $16 per unit. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 18 Variable administrative cost per unit 13 Total fixed overhead 20,500 Total fixed administrative 36,700 Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used
Answer:
variable markup % = 60%
Explanation:
total units sold 22,000
total costs associated with selling the 22,000 units:
variable production costs $18 x 22,000 = $396,000
variable S&A costs $13 x 22,000 = $286,000
fixed overhead = $20,500
fixed S&A = $36,700
total costs = $739,200
total cost per unit = $33.60
selling price = $33.60 + $16 = $49.60
markup percentage = [(sales price - unit cost) / unit cost] x 100
the total markup % = [49.60 - 33.60) / 33.60] x 100 = 47.62%
but since we are going to calculate the markup percentage solely based on variable costs, then:
variable cost per unit = $31
selling price = $49.60
the variable markup % = [49.60 - 31) / 31] x 100 = 60%

CDB stock is currently priced at $85. The company will pay a dividend of $5.69 next year and investors require a return of 11.6 percent on similar stocks. What is the dividend growth rate on this stock?
Answer:
4.91%
Explanation:
CDB stock is currently priced at $85
The company will pay a dividend of $5.69
The required return is 11.6%
There for the dividend growth rate on this stock can be calculated as follows
11.6/100= (5.69/85) + growth rate
0.116= 0.0669 + growth rate
0.116 - 0.0669 = growth rate
0.0491 × 100 = growth rate
Growth rate = 4.91%
Lambda Computer Products competed for and won a contract to produce two prototype units of a new type of computer that is based on laser optics rather than on electronic binary bits. The first unit produced by Lambda took 5,000 hours to produce and required $250,000 worth of material, equipment usage, and supplies. The second unit took 4,250 hours and used $237,500 worth of materials, equipment usage, and supplies. Labor is $20 per hour. Use Exhibit 6.5. a. Lambda was asked to present a bid for 10 additional units as soon as the second unit was completed. Production would start immediately. What would this bid be
Answer:
$2,731,672.50
Explanation:
first unit produced by lambda took 5,000 hours to produce and required $250,000 worth of material, equipment usage, and supplies
the second unit took 4,250 hours and used $238,500 worth of materials, equipment usage, and supplies
learning rate = time needed to produce second unit / time needed to produce first unit = 4,250 hours / 5,000 hours = 85%
materials and equipment usage rate = $237,500 / $250,000 = 95%
using the attached table of cumulative values, we can determine the cumulative improvement factors needed to solve this question:
Lambda's accumulated cost for producing 10 more computers
work hours = 4,250 x 7.116 (85% and 10 units) x $20 per hour = $604,860materials and equipment = $238,500 x 8.955 (95% and 10 units) = $2,126,812.50total = $604,860 + $2,126,812.50 = $2,731,672.50Which of the following is an example of internally caused behavior? An employee was laid off because the company was attempting to cut costs by laying off employees. An employee was late for a team meeting because of a heavy downpour. An employee could not come to work because he met with an accident. An employee could not attend an interview because of a delayed flight. An employee was fired from work because he violated a company policy.
Answer:
An employee was fired from work because he violated company policy
Explanation:
One of the factor that determine the behavior of people is the way the event arround them is interpreted. Those that can control things arround them usually take responsibility for what they do compare to set of people believing that situation arround them is beyond their control, which is explained in" attribution theory" by Fritz Heider. Internally caused behavior can be regarded as challenging behavioras a result of internal stimuli such as traits, pain and anxiety.
Out of the options given in the question only "An employee was fired from work because he violated a company policy" is an example of internally caused behavior, since the violation is on the path of the employee which is as a result of internal behavior known to him.
West Side Corporation is expected to pay the following dividends over the next four years: $16, $12, $11, and $7.50. Afterward, the company pledges to maintain a constant 6 percent growth rate in dividends forever. If the required return on the stock is 16 percent, what is the current share price?
a. $63.27.
b. $61.40.
c. $68.82.
d. $65.17.
e. $60.11.
Answer:
$77.81
Explanation:
We are given that West Side Corporation is expected to pay the following dividends over the next four years: $16, $12, $11, and $7.50.
Required rate - 16%
Growth rate = 6%
We are supposed to find the current share price

paid to acquire , a weekly advertising paper. At the time of the acquisition, 's balance sheet reported total assets of and liabilities of . The fair market value of 's assets was . The fair market value of 's liabilities was . Read the requirementsLOADING.... Requirement 1. How much goodwill did purchase as part of the acquisition of ? Purchase price to acquire Mesa Herald Market value of Mesa Herald's assets Less: Market value of Mesa Herald's liabilities Less: Market value of Mesa Herald's net assets
Full question attached
Answer and Explanation:
A. Given that Thrifty Nickels Assets fair value and liabilities are given by $100000 and $70000 respectively(we do not use the book value in calculating goodwill here) and Acquisition value is $230000
Goodwill = purchase price -net assets
Since we know purchase price =$230000
We calculate net assets= total assets -total liabilities
Total assets =$100000
Total liabilities =$70000
Net assets=$100000-$70000=$30000
We substitute in goodwill formula
Goodwill=$230000-$30000=$200000
Therefore goodwill =$200000
B. We journalize entries for the acquisition in Deca's books as follows :
Debit Assets $100000
Debit Goodwill $200000
Credit liabilities $70000
Credit cash $230000
We debit assets since it received and increased by $100000,we debit goodwill since it also received and increased by $200000. We credit liabilities since it also increased by $70000 from the acquisition (liabilities accounts are credited). Cash was spent and therefore is credited since it reduced by $230000
During 20x1, Orca Corp. decided to change from the FIFO method of inventory valuation to the weighted-average method. Inventory balances under each method were as follows:________.
FIFO Weighted-average
January 1, 20x1 $71,000 $77,000
December 31, 20x1 $79,000 $83,000
Orca's income tax rate is 30%.
In its 2005 financial statements, what amount should Orca report as the cumulative effect of this accounting change?
a) $2,800
b) $4,000
c) $4,200
d) $6,000
Answer:
Orca Corp.
The cumulative effect of this accounting change in estimate is:
That the cost of goods sold will be reduced by:
b) $4,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
FIFO Weighted-average Difference
January 1, 20x1 $71,000 $77,000 $6,000
December 31, 20x1 $79,000 $83,000 $4,000
Orca's income tax rate is 30%.
Note that the difference in the cost of the beginning inventory does not have any effect in the current period's financials. It was an estimate that was done previously and Orca does not need to restate its financials for the previous year because of the change. The accounting change only affects the current period.
The firm has just declared a dividend of $1.09 per share for the current fiscal year. The firm has earnings per share of $2.11, and 225,000 shares outstanding with a market price of $31.17 per share prior to the ex-dividend day. Ignore taxes. As a result of this dividend, the: A) the current dividend yield is 51.66% B) retained earnings will increase by $245,250. C) the current dividend payout ratio is 3.497% D) earnings per share will increase to $3.20. E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.
Answer: E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.
Explanation:
Stock prices generally decrease in price by the price of the dividend on ex-dividend date.
This means that this stock will reduce to:
= 31.17 - 1.09
= $30.08
Price to Earnings ratio = Stock price/ Earnings per share
= 30.08/2.11
= $14.26
Option E is correct.

A semiannual coupon bond with face value of $1,000 has a coupon rate of 6% and matures in 16 years. The market-determined discount rate on this bond is 14%. What is the price of the bond?
Answer:
$1,125.30
Explanation:
The Price of the Bond is its Current/Trading price also known as the Present Value (PV). This is determined as follows :
Fv = $1,000
Pmt = $1,000 × 6% = $160
P/yr = 1
n = 16
i = 14%
PV = ?
Using the Financial calculator to enter the values as above, the Pv is $1,125.30.

Lake Sales had $2,200,000 in sales last month. The contribution margin ratio was 30% and operating profits were $180,000. What is Lake's break-even sales volume
Answer:
$1,600,000
Explanation:
Sales
$2,200,000
Contribution margin ratio
30%
$660,000
Sales $2,200,000
Contribution margin $660,000
Operating profit $180,000
Fixed cost = Contribution margin - Operating profit
= $660,000 - $180,000
= $480,000
Break even sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
= $480,000 / 30%
= $1,600,000
Therefore, Lake's break even sales volume is $1,600,000
a. Consumption schedule The variable on the vertical (y) axis is (Click to select) and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is (Click to select) . These variables are (Click to select) related. b. Saving schedule The variable on the vertical (y) axis is (Click to select) and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is (Click to select) . These variables are (Click to select) related. c. What is the fundamental reason that the levels of consumption and saving in the United States are each higher today than they were a decade ago
Answer:
a. Consumption schedule
The variable on the vertical (y) axis is Consumption and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is disposable income .
These variables are directly related.
On the Consumption schedule, the variables on the y axis are the different levels of consumption whilst the variables on the x are amounts of disposable income.
Consumption and disposable income are directly related because when the amount of disposable income increases, the amount that consumers can spend will increase as well as it comes from the disposable income that a consumer has.
b. Saving schedule
The variable on the vertical (y) axis is Saving and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is disposable income .
These variables are directly related.
On the Saving schedule the x axis which is for the independent variable is the Disposable income whilst the dependent variable on the y axis is for Savings.
Savings and Disposable income are directly relate because when a person has more money after taxes (disposable income), they will be able to save more money.
c. Real GDP and disposable income are higher.
The Real GDP of the United States as well as disposable income have increased over the past decade which means that people are able to both consume and save more s shown above.
You are thinking of opening a Broadway play, I Love You, You’re Mediocre, Now Get Better! It will cost $5 million to develop the show. There are 8 shows per week, and you project the show will run for 100 weeks. It costs $1000 to open the theater each night. Tickets sell for $50.00, and you earn an average of $1.50 profit per ticket holder from concessions. The theater holds 800, and you expect 80% of the seats to be full. a. Given your other assumptions, how many weeks will the play have to run for you to earn a 100%
Answer:
39 weeks
Explanation:
initial investment = $5 million
Your goal is to a better person and get rich by doubling your development costs. You want to earn $10 million in profits, so you will need to sell a lot of seats.
8 shows per week x 100 weeks = 800 shows
revenue per ticket = $50 + $1.50 = $51.50
tickets sold per show = 800 x 80% = 640
total revenue per show = 640 x $51.50 = $32,960
variable cost per show (assuming 7 nights per week) = $7,000 / 8 = $875
contribution margin per show = $32,960 - $875 = $32,085
number of shows needed to earn $10 million in profits = $10,000,000 / $32,085 = 311.67 shows
number of weeks = 311.67 / 8 = 38.96 ≈ 39 weeks
If there was a 24% chance of having a contract signed to purchase a home in any one month and there were 55 homes on the market, what would be the probability that exactly 15 of them would have a contract signed during this month?
a. 10.3%
b. 24.0%
c. 66.7%
d. 23.0%
Answer:
a. 10.3%
Explanation:
P∝F of Binomial distribution is given as Pr.(x=x) = nCxP^x(1-p)^(n-x)
P = 0.24, n= 55, x =15 Note: C = Combination
Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)(55-15)
Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)^40
Pr.(x = 15) = 0.1026
Pr.(x = 15) = 10.26%
Pr.(x = 15) = 10.3%
