Answer:
a. $344,500
b. $1,610,000
c. $405,500
d. $530,000
e. $9,550 loss
Explanation:
First, Eliminate the Intragroup transactions as follows :
Elimination Journal for the Intragroup Sale :
Sales (Barone) $190,000 (debit)
Cost of Sales (Allister) $190,000 (credit)
Elimination of unrealized profit in closing inventory :
Cost of Sales (Barone) $5,500 (debit)
Inventory (Allister) $5,500 (credit)
Unrealized Profit in Inventory ($190,000 - $135,000) × 10% = $5,500
Then, Consolidate the Financial Statements taking into account the elimination journals
Note : Consolidation is 100% of Parent + 100% of Subsidiary.
Note : A firm that is exercising control (> 50% Voting Rights) is required to prepare Consolidated Financial Statements - IFRS 3.
Consolidated Income Statement
Sales (1,000,000 + 8,00,000 - $190,000) $1,610,000
Cost of Sales ( $500,000 + 400,000 - $190,000 + $5,500) ($715,500)
Gross Profit $894,500
Less Operating Expenses ($230,000 + $300,000) ($530,000)
Net Income $364,500
Consolidated Financial Statement (Extract)
Inventory ($50,000 + $300,000 - $5,500) $344,500
Subsidiary Profit
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest = Net Subsidiary Income × % Non Controlling Interest
Net Subsidiary Income - Barone
Sales (800,000 - 190,000) $610,000
Less Cost of Sales ( 400,000 + 5,500) ($405,500)
Gross Profit $204,500
Less Operating Expenses ($300,000)
Net Income/ (loss) ($95,500)
Therefore,
Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest = ($95,500) × 10%
= $9,550 loss
You have a tax basis of ​$ and a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Provide a depreciation schedule ​(dk for k1​5) for ​% declining balance with switchover to straight line. Specify the year to switchover. Determine the depreciation amounts using the ​% declining balance and​ straight-line methods and BV amounts for each year
Answer:
the numbers are missing, so I will use another question as an example:
the asset's cost is $100,000useful life is 5 yearsno salvage value150% declining balancestraight line depreciation = $100,000 / 5 = $20,000
150% declining balance depreciation year 1 = 1.5 x $100,000 x 1/5 = $30,000, since it is higher than straight line we will use declining balance
book value at end of year 1 = $100,000 - $30,000 = $70,000
straight line deprecation = $70,000 / 4 = $17,500
150% declining balance depreciation year 2 = 1.5 x $70,000 x 1/5 = $28,000, since it is higher than straight line we will use declining balance
book value at end of year 2 = $70,000 - $28,000 = $42,000
straight line depreciation = $42,000 / 3 = $14,000, since it is higher than declining balance we will use straight line ⇒ switchover year
150% declining balance depreciation year 3 = 1.5 x $42,000 x 1/5 = $12,600
book value at end of year 3 = $42,000 - $14,000 = $28,000
depreciation year 4 = $14,000 (straight line)
book value at end of year 4 = $28,000 - $14,000 = $14,000
depreciation year 5 = $14,000 (straight line)
book value at end of year 5 = $14,000 - $14,000 = $0
Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department:
Units:
Beginning Inventory: 30,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion.
Units started and completed: 120,000.
Units completed and transferred out: 150,000.
Ending Inventory: 32,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion.
Costs:
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $48,000.
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $53,850.
Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $328,050.
Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $604,150.
Required:
Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer:
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $2.06
Explanation:
Total cost of material= Cost of material in beginning WIP + Cost of material incurred in February
= $48,000 + $328,050
= $376,050
Equivalent units = Number of units completed and transferred+ Ending inventory
= 150,000 units + 32,500 units
= 182,500 units
Cost per equivalent unit of material = Total cost of direct material / Equivalent units
= $376,050 / 182,500 units
= $2.06
Your neighbor is asking you to invest in a venture that will double your money in 7 year(s). Compute the annual rate of return that he is promising you?
Answer: 10.3%
Explanation:
The Rule of 72 is useful here. The rule of 72 can be used to calculate the amount of time it would take to double an investment by dividing 72 by the interest rate.
As we already have the number of years the formula is;
7 = 72/i
i = 72/7
i = 10.3%
According to the article, companies that have successfully used the discrimination and fairness paradigm to increase their demographic diversity.

Hi, your question is incomplete. I believe you are referring to the Havard Business Review online Article.
Answer:
a, b, and c.
Explanation:
It is worth remembering that the article stated that their research shows that a leader's desire to use the discrimination and fairness paradigm, often reflects how much value the leader places on following due process and equal treatment of his or her employees.
The article also points to their findings suggested that such organizations are run by leaders who have top-down directives .
A common step in the testing for accounts payable is to test subsequent disbursements for improper/proper inclusion/exclusion in year-end accounts payable CONCEPT REVIEW A common way to test accounts payable is to examine the check register after period end and make selections for testing. Items are selected and then examined for detail. A determination is then made to conclude whether the amount should have been a liability as of year-end and, if so, if it was recorded as such
1. When searching for unrecorded liabilities, the auditors consider transactions recorded__________year end.
2. Accounts payable __________can be mailed to vendors from whom substantial purchases have been made.
3. To gain overall assurance as to the reasonableness of accounts payable, the auditor may consider _________.
4. When auditors find unrecorded liabilities, before adjusting they must consider __________.
5 Auditiors need to consider_______ terms for determining ownership and whether a liability should be recorded.
Answer:
1. When searching for unrecorded liabilities, the auditors consider transactions recorded after year end.
Auditors consider transactions recorded after year end to determine if it was supposed to be recorded in the current period.
2. Accounts payable confirmation can be mailed to vendors from whom substantial purchases have been made.
As a way to keep a document trail, creditors from whom substantial goods were bought from can be mailed a confirmation.
3. To gain overall assurance as to the reasonableness of accounts payable, the auditor may consider ratios.
Ratios such as the Payables turnover can be used to evaluate the reasonableness of Accounts payable.
4. When auditors find unrecorded liabilities, before adjusting they must consider materiality.
They must consider if the adjustment is material or significant enough to record.
5 Auditiors need to consider shipping terms terms for determining ownership and whether a liability should be recorded.
Shipping terms need to be considered because they can tell who owns goods in transit and therefore if a liability is needed for them. Shipping terms such as FOB Shipping point mean that the business incurs the liability as soon as the seller ships the goods.
Ayayai Inc. wishes to accumulate $1,066,000 by December 31, 2030, to retire bonds outstanding. The company deposits $164,000 on December 31, 2020, which will earn interest at 8% compounded quarterly, to help in the retirement of this debt. In addition, the company wants to know how much should be deposited at the end of each quarter for 10 years to ensure that $1,066,000 is available at the end of 2030.
Answer:
Quarterly deposit= $11,653.28
Explanation:
Future Value= $1,066,000
Number of periods= 10*4= 40 quarters
Interest rate= 0.08/4= 0.02
First, we need to calculate the future value of the initial investment. Then, determine the difference required to reach the objective.
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 164,000*(1.02^40)
FV= $362,118.50
Difference= 1,066,000 - 362,118.5= $703,881.5
To calculate the quarterly deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= quarterly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (703,881.5*0.02) / [(1.02^40) - 1]
A= $11,653.28

Producers of snack foods (such as candy bars or potato chips) are most likely to use a(n) _____________ distribution strategy for their products.
Answer:
A.intensive
Explanation:
Products such as chocolate bars and chips fit the classification of non-durable consumer goods, that is, those that are produced for immediate consumption.
Its characteristics involve meeting the needs of the final consumer periodically, generally they are low-cost products that need quick replacement to meet the high demand for these non-durable products.
Therefore, the best strategy for the distribution of non-durable products is the intensive strategy, making it available in different places with easy access to the consumer and with high replacement.
Suppose the classical linear model assumptions hold, and the population model for log(wage) is given by:
Answer:
Throughout the clarification segment down, the definition including its concern is explained.
Explanation:
The query presented seems to be incomplete. Please notice the full issue attachment below.
The classical model relies on either the calculation as well as assumption of "finite sample," suggesting that perhaps the amount of measurements "n" is defined.Present work does not affect salary seems to be:
⇒ H₀ : B₃ = 0
One side of the alterbate theory would be that ceteris paribus, duration at current employment seems to harm incomes.It is possible to state everything as:
⇒ H₁ : B₃<0
In both the United States and France, the demand for haircuts is given by QD=300−10P . However, in the United States, the supply is given by QS=−300+20P , while in France, the supply is given by QS=−33.33+6.67P .
Required:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
b. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
Answer:
a. P = 20 and Q = 100 in the United States; and also P = 20 and Q = 100 in France.
b. P = 23.33 and Q = 166.70 in the United States; and P = 26 and Q = 140 in France.
Explanation:
Note: The part b of the requirement is not complete. The entire question is therefore represented with the complete pat b before answering the question as follows:
In both the United States and France, the demand for haircuts is given by QD=300−10P . However, in the United States, the supply is given by QS=−300+20P , while in France, the supply is given by QS=−33.33+6.67P .
Required:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
b. Suppose that the demand for haircuts in both countries increases by 100 units at each price, so that the new demand is QD = 400 - 10P. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
The explanation to the answers is now provided as follows:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
In economics, an equilibrium occurs at point where the quantities demanded is equal to the quantities supplied.
Let Q denotes equilibrium quantity and P denotes equilibrium price, the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries can therefore be calculated as follows:
In the United States
QD =300 − 10P
QS= −300 + 20P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
300 - 10P = −300 + 20P
300 + 300 = 20P + 10P
600 = 30P
P = 600 / 30
P = 20
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 300 – 10(20)
Q = 300 – 200
Q = 100
Therefore, P = 20 and Q = 100 in the United States.
In France
QD = 300 − 10P
QS= −33.33 + 6.67P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
300 - 10P = −33.33 + 6.67P
300 + 33.33 = 6.67P + 10P
333.33 = 16.67P
P = 333.33 / 16.67
P = 20
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 300 – 10(20)
Q = 300 – 200
Q = 100
Therefore, P = 20 and Q = 100 also in France.
b. Suppose that the demand for haircuts in both countries increases by 100 units at each price, so that the new demand is QD = 400 - 10P. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
In the United States
QD = 400 − 10P
QS= −300 + 20P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
400 - 10P = −300 + 20P
400 + 300 = 20P + 10P
700 = 30P
P = 700 / 30
P = 23.33
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 400 – 10(23.33)
Q = 400 – 233.30
Q = 166.70
Therefore, P = 23.33 and Q = 166.70 in the United States.
In France
QD = 400 − 10P
QS= −33.33 + 6.67P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
400 - 10P = −33.33 + 6.67P
400 + 33.33 = 6.67P + 10P
433.33 = 16.67P
P = 433.33 / 16.67
P = 25.99 = 26
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 400 – 10(26)
Q = 400 – 260
Q = 140
Therefore, P = 26 and Q = 140 in France.
The Pritzker Music Pavilion in downtown Chicago is a technologically sophisticated and uniquely designed performing arts venue that hosts live concerts attended by over half a million patrons a year. A group of local organizers, led by a prominent local businesswoman, would like to use the pavilion for a concert to benefit a non-profit, national network of investors and environmental organizations working with companies and investors to address sustainability challenges such as global climate change. If the pavilion management agrees to host the concert, the organizers will donate all profits to Ceres (or absorb any losses).
Based on the following revenue and cost information, the organizers would like answers to several questions.
1. There are three sources of revenue for the concert:
2. Tickets will be sold for $15.50 each.
3. A large multinational corporation headquartered in Chicago will donate $2.00 per ticket sold.
4. Each concert attendee is expected to spend an average of $17.00 for parking, food, and merchandise.
5. On the expense side, there are also three components:
A popular national group has agreed to perform at the concert. Normally, the group demands a significant fixed fee to perform, but to reduce the risk for the organizers, the group has agreed to perform for $6.00 per ticket sold. The organizers will pay several companies to operate the parking, food, and merchandise concessions. They will pay $21,000 plus 15% of all parking, food, and merchandise revenue. The organizers will pay the pavilion $85,000 plus $7.00 per person attending to cover its operating expenses (production, maintenance, advertising, etc.)
Required:
a. What is the estimated contribution margin per ticket sold for the benefit concert?
b. What are the estimated total fixed costs for the benefit concert?
c. What is the estimated profit from the benefit concert if 10,500 tickets are sold?
d. How many tickets must be sold in order for concert profit to be $100,000?
e. Assuming a tax rate of 31% on profits from the concert, what must dollar ticket sales be in order for after-tax concert profits to be $100,000?
f. Assume that the organizers can negotiate the fixed payment for the pavilion's operating expenses. If the organizers expect to sell 10,500 tickets, how much can they afford to pay and still earn a profit of $100,000 (ignore taxes)?
Answer:
a. What is the estimated contribution margin per ticket sold for the benefit concert?
contribution margin per ticket = ($15.50 + $2 + $17) - ($6 + $2.55 + $7) = $34.50 - $15.55 = $18.95
b. What are the estimated total fixed costs for the benefit concert?
total fixed costs = $21,000 + $85,000 = $106,000
c. What is the estimated profit from the benefit concert if 10,500 tickets are sold?
estimated profit = (10,500 x $18.95) - $106,000 = $92,975
d. How many tickets must be sold in order for concert profit to be $100,000?
number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $100,000) / $18.95 = 10,870.71 ≈ 10,871 tickets sold
e. Assuming a tax rate of 31% on profits from the concert, what must dollar ticket sales be in order for after-tax concert profits to be $100,000?
$100,000 / (1 - 31%) = $144,927.54
number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $144,927.54) / $18.95 = 13,241.56 ≈ 13,241.56 tickets sold
f. Assume that the organizers can negotiate the fixed payment for the pavilion's operating expenses. If the organizers expect to sell 10,500 tickets, how much can they afford to pay and still earn a profit of $100,000 (ignore taxes)?
contribution margin increases to $18.95 + $7 = $25.95
10,500 = ($21,000 + $100,000 + ?) / $25.95
$272,475 = $121,000 + ?
? = $151,475
you can pay up to $151,475 in fixed expenses to the pavilion

Describe the steps in the process of human resource planning. Explain the relationships between the steps.
Explanation:
The human resources planning process is the set of strategic actions that a company will develop to use organizational human capital in an improved and effective way, that is, they are the necessary actions for attracting and retaining qualified and motivated employees to assist employees. organizational goals and objectives.
There are four main stages of HR planning, they are:
1. Analysis of the offer:
In the first stage, the company's human capital and characteristics are analyzed, that is, everything that concerns the company's workers, how many employees, what position they occupy, what benefits the company offers, etc.
2. Demand forecast:
At this stage, an analysis is made of how the company will deal with the future needs of its employees, such as promotions, layoffs, etc.
After the first stage of identifying the workforce, the HR area needs to deal with the future of human capital in the company, as people will have growth needs in the company and others.
3. Balance supply and demand:
In the third stage, HR seeks to analyze how the company's future demands seen in the second stage will influence the needs of the positions in the organization. Like the possibility of hiring more managers, the need to develop training and development programs, etc.

Answer:
e. Pertaining to a national (or group) policy of non-interaction with other nations (or groups).
Explanation:
Isolationist is a strategic approach pertaining to a national (or group) policy of non-interaction with other nations (or groups). This ultimately implies that, an isolationist refers to a country that has a diplomatic policy of non-interaction or avoiding to have any form of alliance with other countries.

on an annal basis, the first set of expenses is ____% of the second set of expenses. MAria spends 17 dollars on lottery tickets every week and spends
Completion Question:
On an annualbasis, the first set of expenses is _______% of the second set of expenses. Maria spends $17 on lottery tickets every week and spends $133 per month on food. On an annual basis, the money spent on lottery tickets is % of the money spent to buy food. (Round to the nearest percent asneeded.)
Answer:
Maria's Spending
On an annualbasis, the first set of expenses is ____55.39___% of the second set of expenses. Maria spends $17 on lottery tickets every week and spends $133 per month on food. On an annual basis, the money spent on lottery tickets is 55.39 % of the money spent to buy food.
Explanation:
Maria spends $17 on lottery tickets every week
Therefore, every 4-week month, she spends $68 ($17 * 4) on lottery tickets
Normally, a year = 52 weeks.
Annually, Maria spends $884 ($17 * 52) on lottery tickets
Also
Maria spends $133 per month on food.
Normally, a year = 12 months.
Annually, she spends $1,596 ($133 x 12) on food
Ratio of Lottery tickets to Food annually:
= $884 : $1,596
= $884/$1,596
= 55.39%
or
0.5539 : 1
b) What is done here is to convert to each cost to its annual equivalent. The cost of Lottery tickets was converted from per week basis to per annum. The cost of food was converted from per month basis to per annum. These conversions make the two variables comparable, since they have been reduced to similar standards of measurement.

106,500 91,000
Answer: A. They increase cash provided by operating activities,
Explanation:
There is an error in the question. The Accounts Receivable are listed as Accounts Payable. Accounts receivable figures are $6,000 for 2018 and $11,000 for 2017.
The Accounts Receivable has therefore reduced in value from 2017 to 2018 by;
= 11,000 - 6,000
= $5,000
Seeing as Receivables have decreased, this means that some of those owing the business have paid their debt and so are no longer Accounts Receivable.
This payment of debt will increase the cash provided by operating activities.

Mr Store who runs his photocopy business working 8 hours per day process 100 scripts. He estimates his labour cost to be € 9 per hour. Also he has estimated that the total material cost for each script is approximately € 2; while the daily expenses are €28. Calculate the multifactor productivity. In an effort to increase the rate of the photocopy process to 150 scripts, he decides to change the quality of ink thus raising the mate- rial cost to € 2.5 per day. Is the new productivity better than before? If Mr Store would like to increase the photocopy process to 150 scripts without sacrificing the initial multifactor productivity, by what amount has the material costs to be increased?
Answer:
A) 0.33 scripts per euro
B) The new productivity is worse than the old productivity
C) 0.333 euros per script
Explanation:
number of hours worked per day = 8
number of scripts processed per day = 100
Labor cost per hour = 9 euros
Total labor cost per day = 9 * 8 = 72 euros
material cost per script = 2 euros
Total material cost per day = 2 * 100 = 200 euros
daily expenses = 28 euros
A) Calculate the multifactor productivity
= output / Total cost
Total cost = ( 72 + 200 + 28 ) = 300
= 100 / 300
= 0.33 scripts per euro
B ) compare the old and new productivity
Old productivity = 0.33 scripts / euro
new multifactor productivity
= output / Total cost
Total cost = (8*9)+(150*2.5)+28 = 475
= 150 / 475
= 0.3158 scripts per euro
hence the new productivity is worse than the old productivity
C ) using the initial multifactor productivity of 0.333
calculate the target total cost = output / multifactor of productivity
= 150/0.333
= 450 euros
hence Material cost = (450 - 8*9-28)/150
= 2.33 euro per script
So, the material cost will be increased by = 2.33 euros - 2
euros
= 0.333 euros per script
