Answer:
Dog.
Explanation:
In 1970, Bruce D. Henderson developed and created a growth-share matrix for the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) growth-share matrix is a tool used for analyzing and planning product lines in a business unit. It makes use of a graphical representation of a company's product line and services to analyze and make long-term strategic plans on which to invest more on or sell off.
Generally, products are divided into four (4) main categories in the BCG growth-share matrix;
1. Dogs.
2. Stars.
3. Question marks.
4. Cash cows.
A dog refers to a product or business unit that has a very low growth rate or market share and as such generates insufficient amount of revenues.
In this scenario, Camaro isn't able to generate sufficient (enough) cash to sustain its manufacturing or production process, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) portfolio would classify it as a dog.
Fern and Grover wish to combine their professional accountancy practices into a single firm that combines the pass-through tax status and other advantages of a partnership with limits to the personal liability of the partners. The appropriate business organization for this enterprise is most likely:______.
a. a family limited liability partnership.b. a limited liability partnership.c. a limited liability company.d. a limited liability limited partnership.
Answer:
The correct option is b. a limited liability partnership.
Explanation:
Limited liability partnerships (LLPs) are a type of partnership in which each partner's liability is limited to the amount invested in the company.
Limited liability means that creditors cannot seize a partner's personal assets or income if the partnership fails.
Spreading risk, leveraging individual abilities and knowledge, and establishing a division of labor are all advantages of having business partners.
Some of the professional businesses in which LLPs are common include accounting firms, legal firms, and among others.
Therefore, the correct option is b. a limited liability partnership.
A water company has the monopoly in the water market and sells 7 units of output at $5.00 per unit and 8 units of output at $4.90 per unit. If the water company produces and sells the eighth unit, what must its marginal cost be
Answer:
$4.20
Explanation:
First and foremost, the marginal cost is the cost incurred in producing an extra unit of output, in this case, the marginal cost of eight-unit is the extra cost of producing one more after 7 units have been produced
Total Cost of producing 7 units=$5.00*7=$35.00
Total Cost of producing 8 units=$4.90*8=$39.20
Marginal cost of eight unit=Total Cost of producing 8 units-Total Cost of producing 7 units
Marginal cost of eight unit=$39.20-$35.00
Marginal cost of eight unit=$4.20

A company purchases 20,000 pounds of materials. The materials price variance is $4,000 favorable. What is the difference between the standard and actual price paid for the materials
Answer:
The actual price was $0.2 lower than the standard price.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A company purchases 20,000 pounds of materials. The materials price variance is $4,000 favorable.
To calculate the direct material price difference, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
4,000 = (direct material price difference)*20,000
$0.2= direct material price difference
The actual price was $0.2 lower than the standard price.
Charles Company acquired Jackson Company for $2,000,000 cash. At that time, the fair value of recorded assets and liabilities was $1,500,000 and $250,000, respectively. If Jackson meets specified sales targets, Charles is required to pay an additional $200,000 in cash per the acquisition agreement. Charles estimates the probability of this to be 50%. The direct costs related to the acquisition were $50,000. What was the amount of the goodwill related to the acquisition?
Answer:
$950,000
Explanation:
Goodwill is defined as the excess of Purchase Price over the Net Assets taken over.
therefore
Goodwill = Purchase Price - Fair Value of Net Assets taken over
Note : Acquisition cost is an expense and not included in this calculation.
Since the probability is more likely than not (Probability > or = 50 %) , we include the $200,000 in the Purchase Price
thus,
Goodwill = $2,200,000 - ($1,500,000 - $250,000)
= $950,000

A property was purchased by an investor. The property is expected to produce $200,000 of annual net operating income in year 1; increasing $20,000 every year thereafter. The owner intends to sell the property at the end of year 5.
Assuming the bank requires a 1.25 debt coverage service ratio based on the expected first year NOI, what is the maximum monthly mortgage payment?
Answer:
$13,333.33
Explanation:
Debt service coverage ratio = Net operating income in year 1 / Annual debt service
Annual debt service = Net operating income in year 1 / Debt service coverage ratio
Annual debt service = $200,000 / 1.25
Annual debt service = $160,000
1 years = 12 months
Monthly mortgage payment = Annual debt service / 12 months
Monthly mortgage payment = $160,000 / 12
Monthly mortgage payment = $13333.33333333333
Monthly mortgage payment = $13,333.33
So, the maximum monthly mortgage payment is $13,333.33.

Supply chain management:is based on the concept of just-in-timefocuses on removing scheduling bottlenecks within the companyfocuses on the internal routing of products from raw materials to finished goodsis a complex computerized system for managing resources efficientlyis accurately described by none of the above
Answer:
is based on the concept of just-in-time.
Explanation:
Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers.
Generally, the supply chain management involves all the activities associated with planning, execution and supply of finished goods and services from the manufacturers to the consumers.
Additionally, all businesses tend to use supply chain management to eliminate waste and maximize value for growth and development.
Hence, supply chain management is based on the concept of just-in-time (JIT) because it is a management framework that is focused on cutting manufacturing costs while increasing efficiency between suppliers and consumers through the use of a proper inventory system.
"Standard Cost Data per 1 Unit Quantity Price Direct Material 3 lbs $2.00/lb Direct Labor 2 hrs $4.00/hr Actual Data: Units produced 20 Material purchase 100 lbs at $2.25 per lb Material usage 90 lbs Direct Labor 30 hrs; total cost $123 Compute all standard costs and variances for DM & DL. Show all computations."
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The Standard cost for 20 units is
Material (20 units × 3lbs × $2lb) $120
Direct labor (20 units × 2lbs × $4) $160
Total standard cost $280
Now
Direct material price variance = (Actual price -Standard price) × Actual quantity
= (2.25-2.00) × 90
=22.5 Unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance = (Actual quantity- Standard quantity) × Standard price
=(90-20x3) × 2
= $60 unfavorable
Direct material cost variance =Direct material price variance + Direct material quantity variance
=22.5 UF+$60UF
=82.50UF
Direct labor Rate variance = (Actual rate -Standard rate) × actual hours
= (4.10-4.00) × 30 hrs
= $3 Unfavorable
Actual rate = $123 ÷ 30 hrs
= $4.10
Direct labor Quantity variance = (Actual hours -Standard hours ) × Standard rate
=(30-20 × 2) × 4
=$40 favorable
Direct labor cost variance =Direct labor Rate variance+Direct labor Quantity variance
=$3 unfavorable + $40 favorable
=$37 favorable
Pug Corporation has 11,000 shares of $10 par common stock outstanding and 21,000 shares of $100 par, 5% noncumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock outstanding. Dividends have not been paid for the past two years. This year, a $165,000 dividend will be paid. What are the dividends per share for preferred and common, respectively
Answer:
the dividends per share for preferred and common is $5 and $5.45 respectively
Explanation:
The computation of the dividend per share for both stocks is as follows:
For preference one
= 5% of $100
= $5
And, for common one
= ($165,000 - (21,000 × 100 × 5%)) ÷ (11,000 shares)
= $5.45
hence, the dividends per share for preferred and common is $5 and $5.45 respectively
A company has 360,000 shares authorized, 200,000 shares issued, and 100,000 shares outstanding. The balance in its Common Stock account is $200,000. The company does a 2-for-1 stock split. What is the par value of its stock after the split
Answer:
$1 par value
Explanation:
The computation of the par value of the stock after the split is given below:
= $200,000 ÷ (100,000 × 2 )
= $200,000 ÷ 200,000
= $1 par value
Hence, the par value of its stock after the split is $1 par value
We simply divide the balance by the number of outsanding shares so that the par value could come

If total assets decreased by $49,928 during a period of time and stockholders' equity increased by $26,024 during the same period, then the amount and direction (increase or decrease) of the period's change in total liabilities is a.$21,578 increase b.$49,928 decrease c.$75,952 increase d.$75,952 decrease
Answer:
d.$75,952 decrease
Explanation:
We simply use the Accounting Equation to determine the period's change in total liabilities.
So, the Accounting Equation states :
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
also
Assets - Equity = Liabilities
therefore,
($49,928) - $26,024 = Liabilities
(- $75,952) = Liabilities
conclusion
The period's change in total liabilities is $75,952 decrease

Total monthly payment = $3,026.74
Total payments for 360 months = $1,089,626.85
b. For a 15 year mortgage at 4% annual rate, we have:
Monthly required fixed loan payment = $2,958.75
Total monthly payment = $3,958.75
Total payments for 180 months = $712,575.31
c. Kathy and Stan should choose a 15 year mortgage at 4% annual.
Explanation:
a. For a 30-year mortgage at 4.5% annual rate
The monthly required fixed loan payment can be calculated using the formula for calculating loan amortization as follows:
P = (A * (r * (1 + r)^n)) / (((1+r)^n) - 1) .................................... (1)
Where:
P = Monthly required fixed loan payment = ?
A = Loan amount = House budget – Down payment = $500,000 - $100,000 = $400,000
r = monthly interest rate = 4.5% / 12 = 0.045 / 12 = 0.00375
n = number of months = 30 * 12 = 360
Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:
P = ($400,000 * (0.00375 * (1 + 0.00375)^360)) / (((1 + 0.00375)^360) - 1) = $2,026.74
Therefore, we have:
Monthly required fixed loan payment = $2,026.74
Total monthly payment = Monthly required fixed loan payment + Property taxes and insurance = $2,026.74 + $1,000 = $3,026.74
Total payments for 360 months = Total monthly payment * 360 = $3,026.74 * 360 = $1,089,626.85
b. For a 15 year mortgage at 4% annual rate
The monthly required fixed loan payment can be calculated using the formula for calculating loan amortization as follows:
P = (A * (r * (1 + r)^n)) / (((1+r)^n) - 1) .................................... (1)
Where:
P = Monthly required fixed loan payment = ?
A = Loan amount = House budget – Down payment = $500,000 - $100,000 = $400,000
r = monthly interest rate = 4% / 12 = 0.04 / 12 = 0.00333333333333333
n = number of months = 15 * 12 = 180
Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:
P = ($400,000 * (0.00333333333333333 * (1 + 0.00333333333333333)^180)) / (((1 + 0.00333333333333333)^180) - 1) = $2,958.75
Therefore, we have:
Monthly required fixed loan payment = $2,958.75
Total monthly payment = Monthly required fixed loan payment + Property taxes and insurance = $ 2,958.75 + $1,000 = $3,958.75
Total payments for 180 months = Total monthly payment * 360 = $3,958.75 * 180 = $712,575.31
c. Recommendation
Since the total payment of $712,575.31 for a 15 year mortgage at 4% annual is lower than the total payments of $1,089,626.85 for a 30-year mortgage at 4.5% annual rate, Kathy and Stan should choose a 15 year mortgage at 4% annual.
