Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
The above is true because financial resources are needed to enable a business meet up with its daily activities in terms of funding. Also, physical resources are buildings, machineries and assets in general which are required to carry a business daily operations. The labor resources, which is the most important resources are the workforce that carry out the day to day operations of a business.
Tried and True’s accountant suggests that monthly rent and hourly wage rate also be factored into the productivity calculations. Annandale pays the highest average wage at $10 an hour. Blacksburg pays $7.25 an hour, Charlottesville $8, and Danville $7.50. The cost to rent store space is $2800 a month in Annandale, $1200 a month in Blacksburg, $2000 a month in Charlottesville, and $800 a month in Danville.
a. Which store is most productive?
b. Tried and True is not sure it can keep all four stores open. Based on multifactor productivity, which store would you close? What other factors should be considered?
Answer:
a. Blacksburg
b. Blacksburg
Explanation:
a. Productivity is measured by how much output is derived per input.
= Output/Input
= Sales Volume/Labor Hours
Annandele = 40,000/250
= $160 per hour
Blacksburg = 12,000/60
= $200 per hour
Charlottesville = 60,000/500
= $120
Danville = 25,000/250
= $100
Blacksburg is most productive at $200 per labor hour.
b. Multifactor productivity would incorporate the other costs such as labor rate and rent.
= Sales volume / ( Rent + Labor cost)
Annandale = 4,0000/ (2,800 + 250 * 10)
= $7.5
Blacksburg = 12,000 / (1,200 + 60 * 7.25)
= $7
Charlottesville = 60,000/ ( 2,000 + 500 * 8)
= $10
Danville = 25,000 / ( 800 + 200 * 7.50)
= $10.86
Blacksberg is least productive using Multifactor so should be closed down.

Suppose that an investor with a 5-year investment horizon is considering purchasing a 7-year 9% coupon bond selling at par. The investor expects that he can reinvest the coupon payments at an annual interest rate of 9.4% and that at the end of the investment horizon 2-year bonds will be selling to offer a yield to maturity of 11.2%. What is the total return for this bond
Answer:
50.34%
Explanation:
initial investment = $1,000 (bond purchased at par value)
annual coupon = $1,000 x 9% = $90
period cash flow
year 0 -$1,000
year 1 $90
year 2 $90 + ($90 x 0.094) = $98.46
year 3 $90 + ($188.46 x 0.094) = $107.71524
year 4 $90 + ($296.17524 x 0.094) = $117.84
year 5 $90 + ($414.02 x 0.094) = $128.92
at the end of year 5, the investor will have $542.94, plus he/she will still own the bond
the price of the bond at year 5 will be:
0.112 = {90 + [(1,000 - MV)/2]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.112 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 90 + [(1,000 - MV)/2]
0.112 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 90 + 500 - 0.5MV
56 + 0.056MV = 590 - 0.5MV
0.556MV = 534
MV = 534 / 0.556 = $960.43
the investor's total return = [($542.94 + $960.43) / $1,000] - 1 = ($1,503.37 / $1,000) - 1 = 0.50337 x 100 = 50.34%

Classify each cost as (a) either variable or fixed, and (b) either direct or indirect by selecting the appropriate dropdowns. Consider the cost object to be a flight. Flight attendants and pilots are paid based on hours of flight time.Cost Variable or Fixed Direct or Indirect 1. Maintenance on airplanes 2. Beverages served on planes 3. Insurance premium on airplanes 4. Regional vice president salary 5. Airport landing fee (per flight) 6. Fuel used in planes 7. Luggage handler wages 8. Depreciation (straight-line) on ground equipment
Answer:
1) Variable and direct cost
2) Variable and indirect cost
3) Variable and direct cost
4) Fixed and direct cost
5) Variable and direct cost
6) Variable and direct cost
7) Fixed and direct cost
8) Variable and direct cost
Explanation:
On the one hand, the costs known as variable are the ones whose amount changes with the variation of the production and therefore that this costs never the same because it will depend directly on the production. Meanwhile, the fixed costs are the opposite, they do not depend on the production and will always be the same amount, no matter how much the production increases or decreases.
On the other hand, the direct costs are the ones that are directly related to the cost object that is being analized and therefore that this costs are absolutely necessary to pay in order to keep the production of the good. Meanwhile, the indirect costs are the ones that can not be stricly related to the cost object and therefore that sometimes it is not clear how much of them are needed to be attributed to the product.
If the price of output is $1 per unit and we observe the firm hiring four workers, if the firm is maximizing profit, the wage rate must be between ________ and ________. A) $35; $40 B) $30; $35 C) $45; $60 D) $80; $90
Answer:
B. $30; $35
Explanation:
The sole purpose of business is to make profit. When a production company makes products for sale, they try to reduce the cost of production by source cheap or substantial power supply, total usage of the raw materials and the employing cheap labour, both skilled and unskilled. If the price of a company's output after production is $1, they check the profit that would be made in a bash of products, extracting the cost which includes the worker's wages.
They pick the minimum possible value for payment that is favorable to them and is considered fair by the employees.
Cynthia, requested a two-week leave from her employer to go on a religious pilgrimage. The pilgrimage was not a requirement of her religion, but Cynthia felt it was a °calling from God." Will it violate Title VII if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave? Explain. (Tiano V. Dillard Department Mores, Inc, 1998 WL 117864 (9th Cir. 1998)).
Answer: No. It does not violate Title VII if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Cynthia, requested a two-week leave from her employer to go on a religious pilgrimage and that the pilgrimage was not a requirement of her religion, but Cynthia felt it was a calling from God.
Based on the scenario, Title VII is not violated if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave. According to the court, when an employee says that based on his or her religious belief, he or she is required to go to a pilgrimage, the person has to prove beyond reasonable doubt.
In this case, her church which is the Roman Catholic didn't call for a pilgrimage as it was her personal choice. Therefore, Title VII is not violated if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave.
Cynthia requested a two-week leave from her employer to go on a religious pilgrimage. The pilgrimage was not a requirement of her religion, but Cynthia felt it was a "calling from God." Will it violate Title VII if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave? Explain. Compare with a case in which the UPS Jehovah's Witness employee's supervisor denied his request for a schedule accommodation to allow him to attend the annual religious service, terminated the new employee a few days later, and placed him on a do- not-rehire list.
Answer:
For Cynthia
No, it is not a sincerely held belief and does not take place of religion
For the UPS Jehovah Witness employee
Yes, no reasonable good-faith accommodation was made.
Explanation:
Title VII is also called the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It outlaws any form of discrimination in the grounds or race, religion, color, sex, country of origin, and sexual orientations.
In this scenario Cynthia's pilgrimage was not a requirement of her religion, but Cynthia felt it was a "calling from God." So it does not violate Title VII because it is not a sincerely held belief and cannot be classified as religion.
However in the case of the Jehovah Witness employee he wanted to attend a annual religious service. His request was rejected and his employment terminated.
This is discrimination based on religion and is a violation of Title VII
Assume that an investor owns 30% of an investee, and accounts for its investment using the equity method. At the beginning of the year, the Equity Investment was reported on the investor's balance sheet at $300,000. During the year, the investee reported net income of $105,000 and paid dividends of $20,000 to the investor. In addition, the investor sold inventory to the investee, realizing a gross profit of $42,000 on the sale. At the end of the year, 20% of the inventory remained unsold by the investee.Required:a. How much equity should the investor report for the year?b. What is the balance of the Equity Investment at the end of the year?c. Assume that the remaining inventory is sold in the following year and that the investee reports $150,000 of net income. How much equity income will the investor report for the following year?
Answer:
a.34,020
b.314,020
c.42,600
Explanation:
The equity method is applied when a company's ownership interest in another company is valued at 20–50% of the stock in the investee. The equity method requires the investing company to record the investee's profits or losses in proportion to the percentage of ownership
DATA
Net Income = $105,000
Investor's share = 30%
Inventory unsold = 20%
Gross profit = $42,000
Dividends = $20,000
Requirement 1
Equity to be reported = (investor's share of net income) − (Share of unrealized profit on inventory at the end)
Equity to be reported = ($105,000 × 30%) − ($42,000 × 20% × 30%)
Equity to be reported = $31,500 + $2,520
Equity to be reported = $34,020
Requirement 3
Equity investment at end of year = (Equity investment at the beginning of the year) + (Investor's share of net income) − (Dividendsdeclared)
Equity investment at end of year = $300,000 + $34,020 − $20,000
Equity investment at end of year =$314,020
Requirement 2
Equity to be reported = (Investor′ s share of net income) -(Share of unrealized profit on inventory at the year end)
Equity to be reported =($150,000×30%)−($40,000×20%×30%)
Equity to be reported =$45,000−$2,400
Equity to be reported =$42,600
Allocation of resources is inefficient only if:________

you have tickets to the 49ers game on Sunday and you have an invitation to a friends party. You cannot go to Bulls. You choose to go to the party. What is the opportunity cost? What is the risk and your decision?
It depends on the day of the party
It depends on the day of the party or wasted money generally on the tickets.
What is Opportunity cost?Opportunity cost is the worth of what you lose while picking either at least two choices.
At the point when you choose, you feel that your decision will have improved results for you paying little heed to what you lose by making it. As a financial backer, opportunity cost implies that your venture decisions will constantly have quick and future misfortunes or gains.
Opportunity cost is the misfortune you take to make an increase, or the deficiency of one increase for another increase. Consider, for instance, the decision between whether to sell stock offers now or clutch them to sell later. Opportunity cost is the benefit lost when one option is chosen over another.
The idea is valuable essentially as a suggestion to inspect all sensible options prior to pursuing a choice. For instance, you have $1,000,000 and decide to put it in a product offering that will create an arrival of 5%.
While the facts confirm that a financial backer could get any quick acquires they could have by selling right away, they miss out on any additions the venture could get them what's in store.
Therefore merely it depends upon the day of the party.

Does Svensons find a refrigerator value that $2300 on sale for $1900 they decided to withdraw $500 from savings to use as a down payment on the purchase of a refrigerator and took out a loan to pay the balance choose the true statement
A.The Svensons Assets increased by $1400
B.The Svensons Assets increased by $1800
C.The SvensonsI said to increase by $1900
D.The Svensons assets increased by $2300
Answer:
B.The Svensons Assets increased by $1800
Explanation:
The Svensons assets increased by $1,800 because even if they purchased the refrigerator for $1,900, the market value of the refrigerator is $2,300, so their assets initially increase by this amount.
However, they also withdraw $500 from their savings to pay for the refrigerator, meaning that this asset account is reduced by the same amount.
Thus, an initial increase of $2,300 minus a later decrease of $500 gives us a final $1,800 increase.

The correct option for second question is B
Explanation:
The correct option is A because the value of a firm depends on its ability to generate cash flow that is available to distribute to the company's investors, including creditors and stockholders.
For the second part the answer is B
This because a financial asset will have value only if it can generate future positive cash flows.
Also when valuating the cost at which the asset is acquired is not relevant

From the following list of steps in the accounting cycle, identify what two steps are missing:
a. Transactions are analyzed and recorded in the journal. b. Transactions are posted to the ledger. c. An unadjusted trial balance is prepared. d. An optional end-of-period spreadsheet is prepared. e. Adjusting entries are journalized and posted to the ledger. f. An adjusted trial balance is prepared. g. Financial statements are prepared. h. A post-closing trial balance is prepared.
Answer:
d. Adjustment data are assembled and analyzed.
h. Closing entries are journalized and posted to the ledger.
Explanation:
The fourth step is missing which is to adjust the data. After the unadjusted trial balance is prepared, if the debit side and the credit side do not match, the data will need to be adjusted and that is what this step is for.
The penultimate step is also missing being the journalizing of the closing entries and posting them to the ledger. This is done to close out the accounts for the year and bring all accounts except permanent ones to zero.
Collins Company had the following cost data available. The Collins accountant believes that direct labor hours is the correct cost driver to use to predict and manage these costs.$100,000; 15,000 direct labor hours for January$80,000; 12,000 direct labor hours for February$90,000; 14,000 direct labor hours for March$75,000; 11,000 direct labor hours for April$85,000; 12,500 direct labor hours for May$70,000; 10,000 direct labor hours for JuneUse the high-low method to compute the total amount of monthly fixed costs for Collins Company.
a) $10,000b) $0c) $15,000d) $90,000e) $60,000f) $30,000
Answer:
a) $10,000
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost by using high low method is shown below:
Before that first we have to determine the variable cost per direct labor hours which is shown below:
Variable cost per hour = (High Operating cost - low operating cost) ÷ (High labor hours - low labor hours)
= ($100,000 - $70,000) ÷ (15,000 hours - 10,000 hours)
= $30,000 ÷ 5,000 hours
= $6
Now the fixed cost equal to
= High operating cost - (High labor hours × Variable cost per hour)
= $100,000 - (15,000 hours × $6)
= $100,000 - $90,000
= $10,000
hence, the correct option is a . $10,000
