Answer:
Explanation below
Explanation:
Outsourcing simply involves the act of contracting our certain business activities and processes to third-party providers.
Staff
When you outsource your staff, you can be able to save cots and use the freed capital for other things but the disadvantage would certainly be around the issue of confidentiality of business information.
When you outsource computer servers, software licensing, and data storage, you would gain access to world-class capabilities because the third-party providers would likely provide them to meet their customers.
There would also be shared risks as part of the benefits. The disadvantages could include loss of control. People who discourage outsourcing of these functions are of the opinion that third-party vendor cannot be able to match the level of responsiveness and levels of services that could be offered by an in-house team
In 2010, Toyota recalled millions of automobiles to fix a potentially hazardous problem known as sudden acceleration. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, James Stewart gave investors the following advice: "Toyota shares were over $90 as recently as Jan. 19, 2010. They closed Tuesday (February 02, 2010) at $78.18, which strikes me as a modest decline under the circumstances. If I owned shares, I’d seize the chance to get out.
Required:
Would a believer in the efficient markets theory be likely to follow Stewart's advice?
Answer:
Of course not. Someone that believes in the efficient market theory (or hypothesis as it is generally called), believes that the market is always right. As an individual investor, you might be right or wrong, but the market as a whole has access to perfect information and the price of each stock already has been determined factoring all possible events and outcomes. I.e. the market's price is always the correct price and there is no way in which an individual investor can make a profit by buying or selling undervalued or overvalued stocks.
Personally, I disagree with this hypothesis, and the reason why most people call is a hypothesis is that they disagree with it. If the market is always right, then this theory is no good.
On January 1, 2021, Nath-Langstrom Services, Inc., a computer software training firm, leased several computers under a two-year operating lease agreement from ComputerWorld Leasing, which routinely finances equipment for other firms at an annual interest rate of 4%. The contract calls for four rent payments of $17,500 each, payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31 each year. The computers were acquired by Computer World at a cost of $105,000 and were expected to have a useful life of six years with no residual value. Both firms record amortization and depreciation semi-annually.
Required:
1. Prepare appropriate journal entries recorded by Nath-Langstrom Services for the first year of the lease.
2. Prepare appropriate journal entries recorded by ComputerWorld Leasing for the first year of the lease.
• 1 Record the beginning of the lease for Nath-Langstrom Services.
• 2 Record the lease payment and interest expense for Nath-Langstrom Services.
• 3 Record the amortization expense for Nath-Langstrom Services.
• 4 Record the lease payment and interest expense for Nath-Langstrom Services.
• 5 Record the amortization expense for Nath-Langstrom Services.
• 6 Record the lease revenue received by ComputerWorld Leasing.
• 7 Record the Depreciation expense for ComputerWorld Leasing.
• 8 Record the lease revenue received by ComputerWorld Leasing.
• 9 Record the Depreciation expense for ComputerWorld Leasing.
Answer:
Lessee journal entries:
lease expense 17,500 debit
cash 17,500 credit
--to record lease payment June 30th, 2021--
lease expense 17,500 debit
cash 17,500 credit
--to record lease payment Dec 31st, 2021--
The lessee does not depreciate the equipment as it is not part of their company.
Lessor journal entries:
cash 17,500 debit
lease revenue 17,500 credit
--to record cash collection on Nath-Langstrom June 30th--
depreciation expense 8,750 debit
acc depreciation- equip 8,750 credit
--to record depreciation on leased equipment June 30th--
cash 17,500 debit
lease revenue 17,500 credit
--to record cash collection on Nath-Langstrom Dec 31st--
depreciation expense 8,750 debit
acc depreciation- equip 8,750 credit
--to record depreciation on leased equipment Dec 31st--
Explanation:
This is an operating lease as the equipment returns to the firm at the end of the contract and it is below 75% of the useful life (2 years / 6 years = 33%)
amortization on the equipment:
(cost - salvage value ) / useful life
(105,000 - 0 ) / 6 = 17,500 per year
semiannual depreciation: 17,500 / 2 = 8,750

Based on the preceding information, which of the following is an consolidating entry needed to prepare a full set of consolidated financial statements at December 31, 20X8:
A. Common Stock 200,000
Retained Earnings 150,000
Income from Tester Co. 40,000
Dividends declared 10,000
Investment in Tester Co. 285,000
NCI in NA of Tester Co. 95,000
Explanation:
Data:
A is the only correct answer. With it, the following accounts are debited:
Common Stock 200,000
Retained Earnings 150,000
Income from Tester Co. 40,000
And these accounts are credited:
Dividends declared 10,000
Investment in Tester Co. 285,000
NCI in NA of Tester Co. 95,000
With these, the debit side and the credit side are made to be equal. Again, debiting and crediting the above accounts eliminate them from the combined or consolidated financial statements since they are reflected on opposite sides of the parent and subsidiary's financial statements.

A financial instrument just paid the investor $100 last year. If the cash flow is expected to last forever and increase each year at 3%, and with a discount rate of 8%, what should be the price that you are willing to pay for this instrument
Answer:
Price willing to pay = $2,060
Explanation:
Given:
Cash flow paid = $100
Growth rate (g) = 3% = 0.03
Discount rate (d) = 8% = 0.08
Find:
Price willing to pay
Computation:
Price willing to pay = [(100)(1+0.03)] / [0.08-0.03]
Price willing to pay = 103 / 0.05
Price willing to pay = $2,060

Determining the true cash balance, starting with the unadjusted book balance
Nickleson Company had an unadjusted cash balance of $7,176 as of May 31. The company’s bank statement, also dated May 31, included a $67 NSF check written by one of Nickleson’s customers. There were $1,239 in outstanding checks and $255 in deposits in transit as of May 31. According to the bank statement, service charges were $35, and the bank collected an $600 note receivable for Nickleson. The bank statement also showed $14 of interest revenue earned by Nickleson.
Required:
Determine the true cash balance as of May 31. (Hint: It is not necessary to use all of the preceding items to determine the true balance.)
True cash balance
Answer: $7,688
True Cash balance = Unadjusted cash balance + Interest earned + Note received from Nickleson by bank - NSF (Non-sufficient funds) check - bank charges
= 7,176 + 14 + 600 - 67 - 35
= $7,688

Required:
If Pitt Enterprises uses the FIFO method of process costing, compute the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs respectively for May.
Answer:
cost per equivalent unit : materials = $1.37 and conversion costs = $1.78.
Explanation:
Please note that we have to use FIFO costing method
Calculation of the Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials and Conversion Costs
1. Raw Materials
To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 0%) 0
Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%) 179,000
Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 100%) 79,000
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials 258,000
1. Conversion Cost
To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 65%) 35,100
Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%) 179,000
Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 15%) 11,850
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Conversion 225,950
Calculation of the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs.
Unit Cost = Current Period Costs ÷ Equivalent units of production
1. Raw Materials
Unit Cost = $391,440 ÷ 258,000
= $1.37
2. Conversion Cost
Unit Cost = $401,900 ÷ 225,950
= $1.78
TeleGlobal is an American firm producing TV sets. TeleGlobal imports TV set components from Taiwan and assemb them domestically. Suppose that in the United States, a TV set sells for $500 and that 80% of the TV set's value comes from the value of the imported components. The United States imposes a 30% tariff on TV sets and a 10% tariff on the TV set's components. Assume that costs of producing components are the same in the United States a Taiwan. Based on the information provided, the effective rate of protection that TeleGlobal receives from the tariff is:__________.
a. -17.5%
b. 70.0%
c. 110.0%
d. 24.4%
e. 47.5%
Answer:
The right choice is Option c (110.0%).
Explanation:
⇒ [tex]Effective \ rate \ of \ protection = tariff \ rate \ on \ imported \ finished \ good + price \ of \ Component\times \frac{(tariff \ on \ imported \ good- tariff \ on \ imported \ component)}{(Price \ of \ finished \ good - Price \ of \ components)}[/tex]
On estimating the values, we get
⇒ = [tex]30 \ percent + (80 \ percent\times 500)\times \frac{(30 \ percent - 10 \ percent)}{500-80 \ percent\times 500}[/tex]
⇒ = [tex]110 \ percent[/tex]

Mr. and Mrs. Revel had $206,200 AGI before considering capital gains and losses. Required: For each of the following cases, compute their AGI:
a. On May 8, they recognized an $8,900 short-term capital gain. On June 25, they recognized a $15,000 long-term capital loss.
b. On February 11, they recognized a $2,100 long-term capital gain. On November 3, they recognized a $1,720 long-term capital loss.
c. On April 2, they recognized a $5,000 long-term capital loss. On September 30, they recognized a $4,800 short-term capital loss.
d. On January 12, they recognized a $5,600 short-term capital loss. On July 5, they recognized a $1,500 long-term capital gain.
Answer:
For 2020 the maximum capital loss deductible from taxable income is $3,000 and this applies when capital losses exceed capital gains.
a. Net Gain = 8,900 - 15,000
= -$6,100
Their AGI will be;
= 206,200 - 3,000
= $203,200
b. Net Gain = 2,100 - 1,720
= $380
AGI;
= 206,200 + 380
= $206,580
c. Net Gain = - 5,000 - 4,800
= -$9,800
AGI;
= 206,200 - 3,000
= $203,200
d. Net Gain = 1,500 - 5,600
= -$4,100
AGI;
= 206,200 - 3,000
= $203,200
The computation of Mr. and Mrs. Revel's AGI after inputting capital gains and losses are as follows:
Situation AGI Before Net Capital Gain AGI After
a. $206,200 ($3,000) $203,200
b. $206,200 $380 $206,580
c. $206,200 ($3,000) $203,200
d. $206,200 ($3,000) $203,200
Data and Calculations:
The AGI of Mr. and Mrs Revel before Capital Gains and Losses = $206,200
Case A:
Short-term capital gain = $8,900
Long-term capital loss = $15,000
Net capital gain = ($6,100)
Maximum capital loss allowed in the year = $3,000
Balance carried forward = $3,100 ($6,100 - $3,000)
Case B:
Long-term capital gain =$2,100
Long-term capital loss = $1,720
Net capital gain = $380
Case C:
Long-term capital loss = $5,000
Short-term capital loss = $4,800
Net capital loss = $9,800
Maximum capital loss allowed = $3,000
Capital loss carried forward = $6,800 ($9,800 - $3,000)
Case D:
Short-term capital loss = $5,600
Long-term capital gain = $1,500
Net capital loss = $4,100
Maximum capital loss allowed = $3,000
Capital loss carried forward =$1,100 ($4,100 - $3,000)

Generating ideas often includes brainstorming or brainwriting. These techniques can be an effective way to produce the best ideas if they are done correctly. Read the scenario, and then identify how the brainstorming or brainwriting process could be improved. Jeanne, a girls’ outdoor adventure leader, created a meeting agenda to address a problem her troop had. Their cookie fundraiser was in trouble: The mint chocolate chip cookies were not selling. Jeanne wanted the girls to come up with new cookie ideas and innovative ways to sell them. The group began the session by yelling out cookie ideas ranging from real mud pies to snickerdoodles in the shape of a bear. It was an amazing session; everyone participated. The group came up with 50 new cookie ideas in less than 12 minutes, but they could remember only a few of them at the end of the meeting. To improve the group’s brainstorming, Jeanne should:_________
a. Use flip-charts and classify ideas
b. Create an agenda
c. Encourage out-of-the-box thinking
Choose whether the following situation represents crowdsourcing, crowd-storming, or crowdfunding. You own a local coffeeshop. Recently, you noticed that customers were doodling on your white paper cups. Intrigued, you set up a contest, and asked your customers to submit their best doodles to you. You chose your favorite doodle, and put it on a reusable cup. This is an example of:
a. Crowd-storming
b. Crowdsourcing
c. Crowdfunding
Answer:
1- a. Use flip-charts and classify ideas.
2) a. Crowd-storming.
Explanation:
1- To improve the group's brainstorm, Jeanne should use flipcharts and classify ideas.
Flipcharts is a whiteboard used as a visual resource, which allows the best visualization of graphics, new ideas, etc., in a dynamic and summarized way, since this visual resource attracts attention, records and helps in the fixing of content and central ideals.
2- The situation represents crowdstorming, which is a marketing strategy used when an organization wants to improve the services and products offered through interaction with groups of employees who can even be consumers, as in the case above.
This strategy helps in better brand positioning, by receiving direct feedbacks from the potential public, which helps in better meeting their wants and needs.
Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries, they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $500 from corporate bonds. Marc contributed $2,500 to an individual retirement account, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,500 (under a divorce decree effective June 1, 2005). Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $2,000 child tax credit for Matthew. They are also able to claim $2,900 in recovery rebate credit ($2,400 for Marc and Michelle and $500 for Matthew). Assume they did not receive the recovery rebate in advance. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $3,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the year. (Use the tax rate schedules).
A. What is Marc and Michelle’s gross income?
B. What is Marc and Michelle’s adjusted gross income?
C. What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle’s deductions from AGI?
D. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
E. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxes payable or refund due for the year?
Answer:
I will use the 2020 tax schedule since recovery rebate credit applies to 2020:
Marc and Michelle's gross income = Marc's and Michelle's salaries + interest from corporate bonds = $64,000 + $12,000 + $500 = $76,500
they should choose the standard deduction since it is higher than their itemized deductions = ($24,400)
contribution to IRA = ($2,500)
alimony payment = ($1,500) the divorce agreement was settled on 2005
Marc and Michelle's taxable income = $48,100
Marc and Michelle's tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($48,100 - $19,750)] = $5,377
Interests on municipal bonds is not taxable.
The amount of taxes that they owe = $5,377 - $3,500 (federal tax withholdings) = $1,877
Refundable tax credits:
$2,000 in child tax credit
$2,900 in recovery rebate credit
total = $4,900
taxes payable or refund = tax liability - refundable tax credits = $1,877 - $4,900 = -$3,023.
Marc and Michelle should get a refund for $3,023

Brazil has a population of about 210 million, with about 150 million over the age of 15. Of these, an estimated 25 percent, or 37.5 million people, are functionally illiterate. The typical literate individual reads only about two nonacademic books per year, which is less than half the number read by the typical literate U.S. or European resident. Answer the following questions solely from the perspective of new growth theory:
Which of the following best explains the implications of Brazil's literacy and reading rates for its growth prospects in light of the key tenets of new growth theory.
A. Since economic growth is driven by international trade in technology and capital, if Brazil opens its borders, its literacy and reading rates will improve as the country experiences economic growth.
B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
C. Since it has been demonstrated that technological advancement and not human capital is the key determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates should not affect its potential economic growth rate.
D. Since technologically advanced physical capital is necessary for economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its economic growth rate will be lower because there are not enough skilled workers to operate sophisticated machinery.
Answer:
B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
Explanation:
According to the New Growth Theory, it is both human desire and capital the factors that drive economic growth the most.
A literate population that does not read a lot means a lower level of human capital for Brazil, which in turn means that Brazil has a lower potential for economic growth. In order to increase economic growth, the Brazilian government should promote readership among its population.
Seiko’s current salary is $85,000. Her marginal tax rate is 32 percent and she fancies European sports cars. She purchases a new auto each year. Seiko is currently a manager for an Idaho Office Supply. Her friend, knowing of her interest in sports cars, tells her about a manager position at the local BMW and Porsche dealer. The new position pays only $75,000 per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $15,000. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit. In an effort to keep Seiko as an employee, Idaho Office Supply offers her a $10,000 raise. Answer the following questions about this analysis.
Problem 12-41
Part a a. Assuming it has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, what is the annual after-tax cost to Idaho Office Supply to provide Seiko with the $10,000 increase in salary?
Answer:
$7,900
Explanation:
Given that:
Assuming a marginal tax rate of 21%
Salary Raise = $10000
Annual after-tax cost to Idaho :
Salary raise ( 1 - marginal tax rate)
$10000 ( 1 - 21%)
$10000( 1 - 0.21)
$10000 - $2100
= $7,900
Consider an economy described by the following equations:
Y=C+I+G
C=120+0.8×(Y−T)
I=500−50×r G=150
T=125
where Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government purchases, T is taxes, and r is the interest rate. If the economy were at full employment (that is, at the natural rate of output), GDP would be $2,850.
Identify the equation(s) each of the following statements describes.
a. It is a function of disposable income.
b. It depends on the interest rate.
The marginal propensity to consume in this economy is:____________ .
Suppose the central bank's policy is to adjust the money supply to maintain the interest rate at 3%, so r = 3. When the interest rate is 3%, GDP is __________$ .
GDP at an interest rate of 3% is the full-employment level.
a. True
b. False
Assuming no change in monetary policy, (a decrease, an increase) in government purchases by ____ would restore GDP to the full-employment level. (Note: Assume that such change in fiscal policy has no crowding-out effect.) Assuming no change in fiscal policy, (a decrease. an increase) in the interest rate by ___ would restore GDP to the full-employment level.
Answer:
Consumption c is a function of disposable income
Investment I is a function of interest rate
Marginal propensity to consume equals 0.8
If this 3, I = investment
= 500-(3*50)
= 500-150
= 350
We have Y= C+I+G
Y = 120+0.8(Y-125)+350+150
Y = 120+0.8Y-100+350+150
Y-0.8Y = 120-100+350+150
0.2Y = 520
Y = 520/0.2
Y = 2600
GDP and interest rate falls below full employment
If there is no change in monetary policy an increase in government purchases by 50dollars takes gdp back to full employment
If no change in fiscal policy when interest rate decreases by 1.4% God goes back to full employment.

In 1993, Tamarisk Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $2,320,000 and first occupied it in January 1994. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $68,800 at the end of that time. Early in 2004, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $580,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of $23,200. In 2022, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2053, or 20 years beyond the original estimate.
Required:
a. Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1994 through 2003.
b. Compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 2004 through 2022.
c. Prepare the entry, if necessary, to adjust the account balances because of the revision of the estimated.
d. Compute the annual depreciation to be charged, beginning with 2022.
Answer:
a. Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1994 through 2003.
depreciable value = $2,320,000 - $68,800 = $2,251,200
annual depreciation expense = $2,251,200 / 40 years = $56,280
b. Compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 2004 through 2022.
annual depreciation expense = $56,280 + [($580,000 - $23,200) / 30 years] = $74,840
c. Prepare the entry, if necessary, to adjust the account balances because of the revision of the estimated.
no journal entry required, the carrying value is the same, only the annual depreciation expense will change
d. Compute the annual depreciation to be charged, beginning with 2022.
accumulated depreciation until 2022 = (10 years x $56,280) + (18 x $74,840) = $1,909,920
carrying value = ($2,320,000 + $580,000) - $1,909,920 = $2,900,000 - $1,909,920 = $990,080
depreciable value = $990,080 - $68,800 - $23,200 = $898,080
annual depreciation = $898,080 / 32 years = $28,065

Atlantic Video, a small video rental store in Philadelphia, is open 24 hours a day, and-due to its proximity to a major business school-experiences customers arriving around the clock. A recent analysis done by the store manager indicates that there are 30 customers arriving every hour, with a standard deviation of interarrival times of 2 minutes. This arrival pattern is consistent and is independent of the time of day. The checkout is currently operated by one employee, who needs on average 1.7 minutes to check out a customer. The standard deviation of this check-out time is 3 minutes, primarily as a result of customers taking home different numbers of videos.
Required:
a. If you assume that every customer rents at least one video (i.e., has to go to the checkout), what is the average time a customer has to wait in line before getting served by the checkout employee (i.e., waiting time in queue)?
b. If there are no customers requiring checkout, the employee is sorting returned videos, of which there are always plenty waiting to be sorted. How many videos can the employee sort over an 8-hour shift (assume no breaks) if it takes exactly 1.5 minutes to sort a single video?
c. What is the average number of customers who are at the checkout desk, either waiting or currently being served?
Answer:
A.19.82 minutes
B. 48 sorts
C. 10.75
Explanation:
A. Calculation for the average time
Based on Interarrival time 30 customers per hour will give us 1 customer per 2 minutes
Hence,
a = 2 min
Cva= 1
Process time which is p = 1.7 min
CVp will be :3 min/1.7 min = 1.765
Utilization will be calculated as :p/a = 1.7/2 = 0.85
Now let find the average time
Tq= 1.7 x [0.85/(1-0.85)]x[(1^2 + 1.765^2)/2]
Tq= 19.82 minutes
Therefore the average time will be 19.82 minutes
B. Calculation for How many videos can be sort
Utilization will be calculated as: p/a = 1.7/2 = 0.85
Idle time will be calculated as : 0.15 x 8 hours
Idle time = 1.2 hours =
1.2 hours converted to minutes will be 72 minutes
Hence,
Number of videos sorted = 72 minutes / 1.5
Number of videos sorted = 48 sorts
Therefore the numbers of video that can be sort will be 48 sort
C. Calculation for the average number of customers who are at the checkout desk
Tq= 19.82 minutes
p = 1.7
T = Tq+ p = 21.52 minutes
Iq= R x Tq= 1/a x 19.82 = 0.5
Iq=0.5 * 19.82
Iq = 9.9 customers
Hence we are going to use this formula to find the average number of customers
I = Iq+ Ip= Iq+ u
Let plug in the formula
I= 9.9 + 0.85
I= 10.75
Therefore the average number of customers who are at the checkout desk will be 10.75
