Answer: network
Explanation:
Network externality simply states that demand for a good or service has to do with how other people demand for that particular good or service. It means consumer's buying patterns are influenced by the purchase of others buying the product.
Therefore, a network externality exists when the number of customers who purchase a good or use it influences the quantity demanded.
balance sheet reports assets of $6900000 and liabilities of $2700000. All of Ivanhoe’s assets’ book values approximate their fair value, except for land, which has a fair value that is $410000 greater than its book value. On 12/31/21, Oriole Corporation paid $7030000 to acquire Ivanhoe. What amount of goodwill should Oriole record as a result of this purchase?
Answer: $2,420,000
Explanation:
Goodwill is the amount over the fair value of a company that it is purchased for.
Goodwill = Acquisition price - Net Assets
Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities
= (6,900,000 + 410,000) - 2,700,000
= $4,610,000
Goodwill = 7,030,000 - 4,610,000
= $2,420,000

= 1 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^1
The same applied for the remaining years
The difference between total sales revenue and total cost of goods sold is the: A. Trade margin B. Gross marketing contribution C. Net marketing contribution D. All of the above
Answer:
A. Trade margin
Explanation:
The profit obtained from trading operations is known as gross profit or trade margin.This is calculated as sales less costs of goods sold.
The difference between total sales revenue and total cost of goods sold is the gross marketing contribution.
The following information is considered:
When the cost of goods sold is deducted from the sales revenue so the gross marketing contribution should come. Neither it is trade margin, nor net marketing contribution.In other words, the difference is called as gross margin.Therefore we can conclude that the correct option is B.

If the government wants to raise tax revenue, which of the following items are good candidates for an excise tax? Why?
a. granola bars.
b. cigarettes.
c. toilet paper.
d. automobile tires.
e. bird feeders.
Answer:
B,C
Explanation:
An excise tax is actually a tax that is levied on a good at purchase.
Cigarettes and tissue paper are good candidates for excise duty. This is because of the fact that both goods are inelastic. There would be no decrease in their consumption if an excise tax is placed on them. People would still purchase them. Tissue paper has no substitute while cigarette would still have buyers regardless of an increase in price.

Reed Company is in the process of preparing its financial statements for 2022. During 2022, Reed changed from the double-declining balance method for its building to the straight-line method. The building originally cost $900,000. It had an original useful life of 25 years and a salvage value of $60,000. Purchase date was 1/1/20. The 2022 depreciation expense for the building will be:
Answer:
$30,511.30
Explanation:
The double declining method was used for two years
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 /25 = 0.08
Depreciation expense in 2020 = 0.08 x $900,000 = $72,000
Book value = $900,000 - $72,000 = $828,000
Depreciation expense in 2021 = 0.08 x $828,000 = $66,240
book value = $828,000 - $66,240 = $761,760
Straight line depreciation expense = (book value - Salvage value) / useful life
useful life = 25 - 2 = 23
book value = $761,760
salvage value = $60,000.
( $761,760 - $60,000. ) / 23 = $30,511.30
The depreciation expense for the remaining useful life of the asset would $30,511.30

Suppose the country of Stan has fixed its exchange rate to the dollar. The official exchange rate is 0.50 U.S. dollars per rupee. Suppose market conditions are such that the actual equilibrium exchange rate is 0.25 U.S dollars per rupee.
1. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price at official exchange rates? ___________ Are products bought from Stan a good deal?
2. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price if you could buy at the equilibrium exchange rate?
3. Will foreigners want to demand Stan’s rupees to buy goods at the official rate? Explain.
4. Will people in Stan want to buy U.S. goods at the official exchange rates? Will they being supplying or demanding their rupees?
5. Will the monetary authorities in Stan have to buy up a surplus of their currency or sell their currency to meet a shortage of their currency to keep the exchange rate at 0.50 dollars per rupee?
Answer and Explanation:
1. At 0fficial exchange rate:
100 * 0.5 = $50
what I want to buy would be purchased at $50
at market exchange rate:
0.25 x 100 = $25
products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.
2. at equilibrium exchange rate:
100 x 0.25% = $25
the price is $25
3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.
4. Stan's currency is obviously overvalued. the people from this country now has increased purchasing power so they can purchase goods in dollars, therefore they would be supplying their currency.
5. They will have to buy up the surplus of rupees so that they can easily keep up with maintaining the rupee at half a dollar.
1. Chang Industries has 1,900 defective units of product that have already cost $13.90 each to produce. A salvage company will purchase the defective units as they are for $4.90 each. Chang's production manager reports that the defects can be corrected for $6.10 per unit, enabling them to be sold at their regular market price of $20.80. The incremental income or loss on reworking the units is:_______.
a. $18,620 income.
b. $30,210 income.
c. $27,930 income.
2. Poe Company is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $85,500. The projected net cash flows are $40,500 for the first two years and $35,500 for years three and four. The revenue is to be received at the end of each year. The machine has a useful life of 4 years and no salvage value. Poe requires a 10% return on its investments. The present value of an annuity of 1 and present value of an annuity for different periods is presented below. Compute the net present value of the machine.
Periods Present Value of 1 at 10% Present Value of anAnnuity of 1 at 10%
1 0.9091 0.9091
2 0.8264 1.7355
3 0.7513 2.4869
4 0.6830 3.1699
a. $(27,665).
b. $(14,857).
c. $27,665.
d. $35,709.
Answer:
1. $18620
2. $35709
Explanation:
1.we are required to find incremental loss.
= Defect(market price - price per unit - correction per unit)
Defect product = 900
Market price = 20.8
Price for each defect unit = 4.9
Price for defect correction = 6.1
1900(20.8-4.9-6.1)
= $18600
2. Present value of cash flow =
40500*0.9091 = 36818.55
40500*0.8264 = 33469.2
35500*0.7513 = 26671.15
35500*0.683 = 24246.5
Total = 121209
We subtract cost of new equipment from this value
121209-85500
= $35709

Per Twitter’s amended S-1 filing, what are the maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013? Please provide your answer in millions without comma separator or decimal.
Answer:
Twitter's amended S-1 filing
Maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013:
= $98 million
Explanation:
Twitter's capital expenditures in 2013 can be estimated by subtracting the long-term or non-current assets of 2012 from 2013.
The 2013 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth $284,024,000
The 2012 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth $185,574,000
The capital expenditure in 2013 = $98,450,000
The implication is that Twitter added to (or increased) its property and equipment by $98,450,000, which represent new capital expenditures in 2013.
Twitter filed SEC Form 1-A (S-1) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when it was seeking exemption for registration requirements for its public offerings as an "emerging growth company," as it is "allowed by the federal securities laws to elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings."
g Mason Company paid its annual property taxes of $240,000 on February 15, 20X9. Mason also anticipates that its annual repairs expense for 20X9 will be $1,200,000. This amount is usually incurred and paid in July and August when operations are shut down so that machinery and equipment can be repaired. What amount should Mason deduct for property taxes and repairs in each quarter for 20X9?
Answer:
$360,000
Explanation:
The total cost would be estimated as the expense anticipated plus the property taxes paid previously.
Now
Total Cost = $240,000 Property Taxes paid + $1,200,000 Property repairs anticipated
= $1,440,000
Now we will distribute the annual cost over the four quarters which mean we will divide the total annual cost by 4.
Quarterly Expenses = $1,440,000 / 4 = $360,000

Total cash collection= $158,500
Beverages manufactures its own . The bottles are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a lightweight yet strong plastic. uses as much PET recycled resin pellets in its bottles as it can, both because using recycled PET helps to meet its sustainability goals and because recycled PET is less expensive than virgin PET.
Riley is continuing to search for ways to reduce its costs and its impact on the environment. PET plastic is melted and blown over soda bottle molds to produce the bottles. One idea Riley's engineers have suggested is to retrofit the soda bottle molds and change the plastic formulation slightly so that 25 % less PET plastic is used for each bottle. The average kilograms of PET per soda bottle before any redesign is 0.004 kg. The cost of retrofitting the soda bottle molds will result in a one-time charge of $22,112, while the plastic reformulation will cause the average cost per kilogram of PET plastic to change from $3.00 to $3.30.
Required:
a. Using the original data (before any redesign of soda bottles ), prepare a direct materials budget to calculate the cost of PET purchases in each quarter for the upcoming year and for the year in total.
b. Assume that the company retrofits the soda bottle molds and changes the plastic formulation slightly so that less PET plastic is used in each bottle. Now prepare a direct materials budget to calculate the cost of PET purchases in each quarter for the upcoming year and for the year in total for this possible scenario.
c. Compare the cost of PET plastic for Requirement 1 (original data) and for Requirement 2 (making change to using less PET.) What is the direct material cost savings from making the change to using less PET?
Answer:
I prepared an excel spreadsheet because there is not enough space here.
C) total savings = previous materials costs - total cost per year after retrofitting - cost of retrofitting the molding machine = $137,105.10 - $102,168.00 - $22,112 = $12,825.10
U.S. net capital outflow Group of answer choices is a source of the supply of loanable funds, and the source of the supply of dollars in the foreign exchange market. is a source of the supply of loanable funds, and a source of the demand for dollars in the foreign exchange market. is a part of the demand for loanable funds, and the source of the supply of dollars in the foreign exchange market. is a part of the demand for loanable funds, and a source of the demand for dollars in the foreign exchange market.
Answer:
Option D would be the correct choice.
Explanation:
The net capital outflow has been the discrepancy among purchasing foreign assets from a region, as well as selling domestic currency worldwide. Find a basket of products similar across both the United States or even just Taiwan. Such net capital outflows allude to something like the disparity between households and businesses acquiring overseas investments versus non-residents acquiring domestic currency.The other options in question aren't relevant to the particular context. So choice D is perhaps the right one.
On January 1, the listed spot and futures prices of a Treasury bond were 95.4 and 95.6. You sold $100,000 par value Treasury bonds and purchased one Treasury bond futures contract. One month later, the listed spot price and futures prices were 95 and 94.4, respectively. If you were to liquidate your position, your profits would be a Group of answer choices $125 profit. $1,060.50 loss. None of the options are correct. $125 loss. $1,062.50 profit.
Answer:
None of the options are correct.
Explanation:
We start by calculating the net change of the treasury bond position.
= $95,125 - $95,000
= $125
The long treasury bond position gains $125 after a month.
We will also calculate the net change of the treasury bond futures contract.
= $94,125 - $95,187.50
= -$1,062.50
Therefore, Net profits is;
= $125 - $1,062.50
= -$937.50
Calculate the monthly implicit costs for a business owner who devotes 200 hours per month to his business that could be spent working at $50/hour for someone else.
Answer:
Implicit cost = $10,000
Explanation:
Implicit cost is the opportunity cost of using resources a business already owns.
This business owner passes this income by being in a business for himself
200 hours per month multiplied by $50/hour
200 x 50
= 10000
Implicit cost = $10,000
Which of the following statements would best characterize someone who is not culturally competent in working with others from different cultures?a. The person varies the rate of their speaking.b. The person uses facial expressions when communicating.c. The person pays attention to verbal and non-verbal behavior.d. The person fills "silence" during conversations.
Answer: The person fills "silence" during conversations
Explanation:
Culture is simply regarded as people's way of life. The way if life include their food, the kind of music they listen to, their religion, language, their beliefs, values etc.
Someone who is not culturally competent in working with others from different cultures would usually be silent during conversations. This is because the person doesn't know much about the culture and can't really be involved in the conversation.

Calculate the payback period for each case
Answer:
Payback period=2 years 5 months
Payback period=3 years 8 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes .
It is the number of years it takes the cash project to break-even
a) Payback period
Total cash flow for two years = 750× 2 = 1500.000
Balance of cash flow required to make up= 1800000- 1500,000 300,000
Payback period = 2 years + 300,000/750,000× 12 months= 2 years 5 months
Payback period=2 years 5 months
b) Payback period
Total cash flow for 3 years = 450,000 + $225,000 +600,000=1,275 ,000
Balance o cash required to make up 1800,000 = 1,800,000 -1275,000= 525,000
Pay back period = 3 years + 525,000/750,000× 12 months
= 3 years 8 months
Payback period=3 years 8 months

When performing the suitability determination, the client informs the registered representative that he is looking for after-tax income, liquidity, and to avoid market risk. The registered representative should be LEAST concerned with the:
Answer: client's age
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a 70-year old client wants to invest in U.S. Treasury securities and that when performing the suitability determination, the client informs the registered representative that he is looking for after-tax income, liquidity, and to avoid market risk.
The client's age should be the least the registered representative should be concerned about. Rather, the representative should be concerned with the coupon of the recommended treasury securities and the tax bracket of the client for tax purposes.
Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a % weight in equity, % in preferred stock, and % in debt. The cost of equity capital is %, the cost of preferred stock is %, and the pretax cost of debt is %. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is %?
Complete Question:
Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a 10% weight in equity, 25% in preferred stock, and 65% in debt. The cost of equity capital is 17%, the cost of preferred stock is 11%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is 40%?
Answer:
7.96%
Explanation:
We can calculate WACC using the formula:
WACC = Cost of equity * Equity %age / 100% +
After Tax Cost of Debt * Debt %age / 100% +
Cost of Preferred Stock * Preferred Stock %age / 100%
Here,
Cost of equity is 17%
Cost of preferred stock is 11%
Post tax cost of debt = Pre-Tax cost * (1 - Tax rate)
This implies,
Post tax cost of debt = 9% * (1 - 40%) = 5.4%
Equity weight is 10% weight in equity
Preferred stock weight is 25%
Debt Weight is 65%
By putting value in the formula given in the attachment, we have:
WACC = 17% * (10% / 100%) + 11% * (25% / 100%) + 5.4% * (65% / 100%)
WACC = 1.7% + 2.75% + 3.51%
WACC = 7.96%
A company has a net cash inflow from operating activities of $793,000, a net cash outflow of $58,000 from investing activities and a net cash inflow of $100,800 from financing activities. The company paid $128,000 in interest, $188,500 in income taxes, and $204,000 in cash dividends. Which of the following statements about the statement of cash flows is not correct?a. The statement of cash flows will show a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $838, 500. b. If the direct method is used, the $125,000 of interest paid and the $187,000 of income taxes paid will be reported in the cash flows from operating activities. c. The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section. d. Supplemental disclosures required for a company using the indirect method include the amount of interest and the amount of income taxes paid.
Answer:
Incorrect Statement about the Statement of Cash Flows:
c. The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section.
Explanation:
Cash dividends of $201,000 will be reported as a cash outflow in the financing activities section and not the investing activities section.
Statement of Cash Flows is broadly divided into three, the operating, investing, and financing activities sections. The operating activities section show the cash flows from the normal business of the enterprise. The investing activities section shows the acquisition and disposal of investments made by the company in cash. While, the financing section shows the inflow and outflow of cash resulting from the funding of the business by stockholders and noncurrent creditors.
In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True.
Explanation:
In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.
In Financial accounting, Horizontal analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially. Hence, it is also referred to as the trend analysis.
Under the horizontal analysis of financial statement, we use the financial statements of two or more periods; earliest and latter periods.
Generally, the earliest is chosen as the base period while all other items on the statement for a latter period will be compared with the items on the statement of the base period.

You are calculating the performance of your project. If the actual cost is $80,000, the planned value is $70,000 and the earned value is $65,000, what is the cost performance index?
Answer:
Cost performance index is 81.25%
Explanation:
Actual cost = $80,000
Planned value = $70,000
Earned value = $65,000
Cost performance index (CPI) is the ratio of earned value to actual cost and can be used to estimate the projected cost of completing the project.
CPI = EV / AC
= $65,000 / $80,000
= 0.8125
= 0.8125 x 100
= 81.25%
A company issues 9% bonds with a par value of $110,000 at par on January 1. The market rate on the date of issuance was 8%. The bonds pay interest semiannually on January 1 and July 1. The cash paid on July 1 to the bond holder(s) is:
Answer: $4950
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a company issues 9% bonds with a par value of $110,000 at par on January 1 and that the market rate on the date of issuance was 8% and also that the bonds pay interest semiannually on January 1 and July 1.
There is no discount on the bonds payable because they are issues at par. Therefore, the cash paid on July 1 to the bond holders will be:
= $110,000 x 9% x 6/12
= $110,000 x 9/100 x 6/12
= $110,000 x 0.09 x 0.5
= $4,950
