While planning a new product launch, Cassandra knew that the art department was ready to work on the promotional pieces right away. But they are not able to start until the strategy group established the price point and the purchasing group obtained the paper needed to make the promotional piece. Establishing price points would take about a week and was dependent on manufacturing getting the costs to the strategy group. This was expected a week from today. The purchasing group indicated the paper could be obtained locally the same day it was requested. Based on this information and assuming things go according to plan, when will the art department be able to begin work on the promotional pieces?
A. 1 weekB. 1 monthC. 1 dayD. 2 weeks

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1 week

Explanation:

This is true due to the fact that, Cassandra knew it would take about 1 week to establish the price point in the new product which she is planning to launch.

For the extra week it would have taken to get the paper could not hold again due to the fact that, it was already established that, it would take same day to get same paper rather than waiting for the paper to get to the strategy group in one week.

Answers

Answer: D. Controlling

Explanation:

Controlling is one of the most important roles that a manager plays for a company. It involves ensuring that efficient standards are met in the company by checking for errors in processes and taking actions to correct any such errors thereby ensuring that the company keeps running smoothly.

Glimmens, a continental restaurant, started its operations by renting the ground floor of a three-storied building. As the business of the restaurant grew, Marvin, the co-owner of the restaurant, pressed the landlord of the building to allow him to occupy and rent the first floor as well for much lower rent than what the landlord intended to quote. This would reduce the expansion costs of Glimmens. In the context of managerial roles, which of the following decisional roles does Marvin exemplify in this scenario?A) The disturbance handler roleB) The resource allocator roleC) The disseminator roleD) The negotiator role

Answers

Answer:

D) The negotiator role

Explanation:

Business managers often have to negotiate with suppliers, employees or in this the landlord in order to solve a potential conflict, lower costs or maximize revenues. When two parties negotiate, they both seek to maximize their own benefit, so a negotiation process can either result in a better or worse position for the company.

In this particular case, Marvin negotiated with his landlord in order to lease another floor of the building at a lower than market cost which benefits the financial situation of the restaurant. He did a good job and was a good negotiator since his company will benefit from this negotiation process.

Suppose that Italy and Austria both produce fish and shoes. Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 5 pounds of fish while Austria's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 10 pounds of fish. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing shoes in the two countries, you can tell thatItaly has a comparative advantage in the production of shoes andAustria has a comparative advantage in the production of fish. Suppose that Italy and Austria consider trading shoes and fish with each other. Italy can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than5 pounds of fish for each pair of shoes it exports to Austria. Similarly, Austria can gain from trade as long as it receives more than1/10 pair of shoes for each pound of fish it exports to Italy. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of shoes in terms of fish) would allow both Austria and Italy to gain from trade?
a. 9 pounds of fish per pound of cheese.
b. 18 pounds of fish per pound of cheese.
c. 3 pounds of fish per pound of cheese.
d. 1 pound of fish per pound of cheese.

Answers

Answer:

a. 9 pounds of fish per pound of cheese.

Explanation:

The gain from trade would arise at the time when the price of the cheese with respect to the fish is more than 5 and less than 10

So according to the given option the first option is met the criteria

The 9 is more than 5 and less than 10

And, the other options does not met the criteria

So, the first option i.e. a is correct

And, all other options are wrong

David Blehert and his research team captured 117 healthy bats to study in the laboratory and divided them into four groups. Group 1 was housed in an area free from Geomyces destructans. Group 2 was housed in an area that shared the same air as bats infected with WNS, but these bats did not have direct contact with the infected bats. Group 3 was housed in direct contact with other bats infected with WNS. Bats in group 4 were directly exposed to Geomyces destructans when it was applied to their wings. During the study period the bats were monitored for signs of WNS. In this experiment, the independent was ________ and the dependent variable was ________.
a) the type of exposure to Geomyces destructans; whether the bats became sick with WNS.b) whether the bats became sick with WNS; the type of exposure to Geomyces destructans.c) whether the bats became sick with WNS; the number of bats included in the study.d) the number of bats included in the study; the type of exposure to Geomyces destructans.

Answers

Answer: a) the type of exposure to Geomyces destructans; whether the bats became sick with WNS

Explanation: The independent variable refers to the variables employed by the experimenter to use as a tool to observe changes in the dependent variable. In an experimental study, the independent variables are usually the different controls adopted for the experiment. In the scenario above, the independent variable is the type of exposure to Geomyces destructans which each of the groups are exposed to. These variation in control in which the different groups are exposed to may result in different response within the group which is the change in WNS. These response due to exposure to different control is called the dependent variable.

C) shares of the XYZ closed-end investment company, a fund whose shares trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market. D) shares of the LMN S

Answers

Answer:

B) shares of the STU open-end investment company, a fund whose portfolio makeup is exclusively U.S. Treasury issues.

Explanation:

The Securities Act of 1933 requires that new securities must be recorded with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). When registered representatives are offering stocks to their clients, they are required to adhere to the prospectus delivery if the IPO (initial public offering) or APO (additional public offering) after up to 90% of the event.

No IPO or APO is mentioned in the question, but only options A and B refer to securities that could have been recently issued. Since option A is about a municipal bond (industrial revenue bonds are considered municipal bonds), and municipal bonds are not included in the Securities Act of 1933, then we can eliminate that option.

The only possible option we have left is option B. Open end investment stocks are basically a constant IPO since every time an investor buys a stock, it is creating a new stock, e.g. when you invest in a mutual fund you are creating new mutual fund stocks. It doesn't matter if the mutual fund only invests in US treasuries.

Allen, financial writer This quotation reflects what principle of investing? A. Higher risk usually offers higher potential return. B. Higher risk usually offers lower potential return. C. Greater liquidity usually offers higher potential return. D. Greater liquidity usually offers lower potential return.

Answers

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

This quote reflects the principle of investing that Higher risk usually offers a higher potential return. Savings accounts are probably the safest investments that an individual can make, where they hold their money in this account and the bank ensures this account while also providing interest on the amount held. This interest that is gained is extremely small and usually wouldn't even cover the average annual inflation rate. The average interest on these accounts is between 0.01% to 0.35% APY. Riskier investments have a much higher potential return from 7% APY to potentially above 100% APY.

(Hint: Use Appendix A.3 (Links to an external site.) or the Garman/Forgue companion website.) Round Future value of Series of Equal Amounts in intermediate calculations to four decimal places. NO cents! DOLLARS ONLY

Answers

Answer:

$ 7,322  

Explanation:

$2300 per year is an annuity investment. The formula for future annuity value is as below

FV  =  A  × (1 + r)^n - 1 / r

                           

Where A = amount invested periodically

r = interest rate, 6% or 0.06

n = 3 years

Fv = $2300 x{ (1 +0.6)^3 -1} /0.06

Fv  = $2300 x (1.191016-1) /0.06

Fv  = $2300 x  ( 0.191016/0.06)

Fv =  $2300 x  3.1836  

Fv=  $ 7,322.28

Fv= $ 7,322

On January 1, 2019, Pepin Company adopts a compensatory share option plan for its 50 executives. The plan allows each executive to purchase 200 shares of its $2 par common stock for $30 per share after completing a 3-year service period. Pepin estimates the value of each option to be $14 on the grant date, and the company expects that 15% of the options will be forfeited and uses this rate in its compensation cost calculations in 2019. At the end of 2021, Pepin determined that the actual turnover was 7 executives for the entire service period. On January 6, 2022, 8 executives exercise their options.Required:1. Prepare a schedule of Pepin’s compensation computations for its compensatory share option plan for 2019 through 2021.2. Prepare Pepin’s journal entries for 2019 through 2022 in regard to this plan.

Answers

Answer:

On 31 December 2019: Debit Compensation expense for $39,667; and Credit Paid-in capital from share options for $39,667.

On 31 December 2020: Debit Compensation expense for $39,667; and Credit Paid-in capital from share options for $39,667.

On 31 December 2021: Debit Compensation expense for $41,067; and Credit Paid-in capital from share options for $41,067.

On 06 January 2022: Debit Cash for $48,000; Debit Paid-in capital from share options for $22,400; Credit Common stock for $3,200; and Credit Paid in capital in excess of par- common stock (balancing figure) for $67,200.

Explanation:

Note: See part b of the the attached excel file for the journal entries

Also note that before the journal entries are recorded, the current compensation expense for year 2019, 2020 and 2021 are first calculated. See part a of the attached excel file for the calculation of the the current compensation expense for year 2019, 2020 and 2021.

In part a of the attached excel file, the estimated compensation cost for 2019, 2020 and 2021 are calculated as follows:

Estimated compensation cost for 2019 = Option value on the grant date * Number of executives * (1 - Expected option forfeited rate) * Number of shares in the option = $14 * 50 * (1 - 15%) * 200 = $119,000

Estimated compensation cost for 2020 = Option value on the grant date * Number of executives * (1 - Expected option forfeited rate) * Number of shares in the option = $14 * 50 * (1 - 15%) * 200 = $119,000

Estimated compensation cost for 2021 = Option value on the grant date * (Number of executives - Actual executives turnover for the entire service period) * Number of shares in the option = $14 * (50 - 7) * 200 = $120,400

On 06 January 2022, the calculation of the entries used in the part b of the attached excel file are as follows:

w.1. Cash = Number of executives who exercise their options * Number of shares in the option * Purchase price per share after completing a 3-year service period = (8 * 200 * $30) = $48,000  

w.2. Paid-in capital from share options = Number of executives who exercise their options * Number of shares in the option * Option value on the grant date = (8 * 200 * 14) = $22,400

w.3. Common Stock = Number of executives who exercise their options * Number of shares in the option * Sahre par value = (8 * 200 * $2) = $3,200

w.4. Paid in capital in excess of par- common stock (balancing figure)  = Cash + Paid-in capital from share options - Common Stock = $48,000 + $22,400 - $3,200 = $67,200
