However, where the strategy is shared across board, there is an integrated and coordinated attempt at long-term planning with the organization positioned to exceed the needs of its customers and to achieve success. With strategy connect, the organization responds well to changes in its external environment and is able to allocate scarce resources for the improvement of its competitive position.
XYZ Co. uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. It based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $440,000, variable manufacturing overhead of $2.20 per machine-hour, and 50,000 machine-hours. The estimated total manufacturing overhead is closest to:
Answer:
the estimated total manufacturing overhead is $550,000
Explanation:
The computation of the estimated total manufacturing overhead is given below:
= Fixed manufacturing overhead + variable manufacturing overhead
= $440,000 + $2.20 × 50,000 machine hours
= $440,000 + $110,000
= $550,000
hence, the estimated total manufacturing overhead is $550,000
Nathan and Diana are married and have three married children and seven minor grandchildren. For tax year 2020, what is the maximum amount they can give to the family (including the sons- and daughters-in-law) without using any of their unified transfer tax credit
Answer:
Maximum amount that can be given to family (including the sons- and daughters-in-law) without using unified transfer tax credit is $390,000.
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Nathan and Diana are married and they have 3 married children, meaning Nathan and Diana also have 3 daughters/sons in law married to their children. In addition, they have 7 minor grand children.
Number of donees will be ⇒ 3 + 3 + 7 = 13
Now, we know that; The annual gift tax exclusion for 2019-2020 is $15,000 per donee or individual for every tax payer while that of married couple is $30,000.
Meaning Nathan and Diana can give $30,000as a gift to each of their family members without using any of their unified transfer tax credit.
Hence,
Maximum amount that can be given to family (including the sons- and daughters-in-law) without using unified transfer tax credit will be;
⇒ 13 × $30,000
= $390,000.

A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 30 reveals that there are 48 units on hand. Using the LIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is
Answer:
The amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is $2,070.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Olympus Climbers Company has the following inventory data:
July 1 Beginning inventory 30 units at $19 $570
7 Purchases 105 units at $20 2100
22 Purchases 15 units at $22 330
$3000
A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 30 reveals that there are 48 units on hand. Using the LIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Last in, first out (LIFO) inventory method refers to a method under which the costs of the costs of the most recent goods purchased or manufactured are expensed first.
Thereforee, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July can be calculated as follows:
Total units available for sales = 30 + 105 + 15 = 150 units
Units sold = Total units available for sales - Units on hand on July 30 = 150 - 48 = 102 units
Cost of goods sold for July = Value of 15 units July 22 purchases + (87 units * Cost per units of purchases on July 7) = $330 + (87 * $20) = $330 + $1,740 = $2,070
Therefore, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is $2,070.

Assume two countries have the same nominal GDP (measured in the same currency using the same accounting rules). Give at least three reasons why you cannot assume that citizens in each country enjoy approximately the same level of economic well-being. Explain
Answer:
1. There might be different levels of price levels between the countries. The citizens in the country with the higher inflation would enjoy less economic wellbeing
2. Different populations. If GDP is the same and the population is different, the standard of living of citizens of the country with the higher population would be lower when compared with the standard of living of the country with the lower population
3. Different level of non-market activities. The country with the higher level of non-market activity would have more goods and services available for its citizens and this increases the standard of living of the citizens
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation. It reflects the value of goods and services produced in an economy.
Factors that would make two countries with the same nominal GDP have the different level of wellbeing includes :
1. There might be different levels of price levels between the countries. The citizens in the country with the higher inflation would enjoy less economic wellbeing.
For example in country A, the real GDP is 20 while price level is $2. In country B, the real GDP is 10 while price level is $4. Nominal GDP in both countries is $40 but the price levels are different. Citizens in country A would have a higher standard of living when compared with citizens of country B
2. Different populations. If GDP is the same and the population is different, the standard of living of citizens of the country with the higher population would be lower when compared with the standard of living of the country with the lower population.
For example, the GDP of country A and B is 100. The population of country A is 10 while that of B is 20. The nominal GDP per capita in A is 10 and 5 in B. Citizens in country A would enjoy a higher standard of living when compared with citizens in country B
3. Different level of non-market activities. The country with the higher level of non-market activity would have more goods and services available for its citizens and this increases the standard of living of the citizens
A stock will pay no dividends for the next 5 years. Then it will pay a dividend of $5 growing at 2%. The discount rate is 10%. What should be the current stock price?
Answer:
$38.81
Explanation:
The value of the stock is the present value of its future divided payments, bearing in mind that the first dividend is payable six years from,hence, the present value of dividend in year 5( a year before its payment) is then computed thus:
PV of dividend at the end of year 5=expected dividend/discount rate-growth rate
expected dividend in year 6=$5
discount rate=10%
growth rate=2%
PV of dividend at the end of year 5=$5/(10%-2%)
PV of dividend at the end of year 5=$62.50
We need to discount the PV backward by 5 years to show the stock value today
the current stock price=$62.50/(1+10%)^5
the current stock price= $38.81

a) float-adjusted market-capitalization weighting.
b) fundamental weighting.
c) equal weighting.
Answer: B. Fundamental weighting.
Explanation:
A fundamentally weighted index refers to a type of equity index whereby the components that are chosen based on the fundamental criteria like the dividend rates, book value, revenue, dividend rates, etc.
Fundamental weighting is the index weighting which results in portfolio weights shifting away from securities that have increased in relative value toward securities that have fallen in relative value whenever the portfolio is rebalanced.
Granfield Company is considering eliminating its backpack division, which reported an operating loss for the recent year of $42,200. The division sales for the year were $963,800 and the variable costs were $477,000. The fixed costs of the division were $529,000. If the backpack division is dropped, 40% of the fixed costs allocated to that division could be eliminated.

Therefore The impact on Granfield's operating income for eliminating this business segment would be:$275,200 decrease
The most likely effect of an decrease in income tax rates would be a(n): increase in interest rates. decrease in the supply of loanable funds. decrease in the savings rate. all of the above would occur none of the above would occur
Answer: none of the above would occur
Explanation:
When there are lower tax rates, people will have more disposable income left aft paying taxes. It is from this disposable income that people are able to save so if it increases, they will be able to save more.
When they save more, supply of loanable funds will increase because loanable funds come from savings. Interest rates would therefore decrease because there are now more loanable funds.
Income tax rate are taxes placed or collected on income of people. The most likely effect of an decrease in income tax rates would be none of the above would occur
Lower tax rates often leads to the following:
An increase the demand for assets An increase in the supply of labor.The economy will react to it by having with lower interest rates, higher employment, higher investment and faster economic growth. It often increase the spending power of consumers It also increase aggregate demand, resulting to higher economic growth.Learn more from

Consider a Cournot duopoly with the following inverse demand function: P = 96 - 2Q1 - 2Q2, where Q1 and Q2 are quantities produced by firms 1 and 2, respectively. The firms' marginal cost are identical and given by MCi(Qi) = 2Qi, where i is either firm 1 or firm 2. Based on this information firm 1 and 2's reaction functions are:_____.
a. MR1(Q1, Q2) = 100-2Q1-Q2 and MR2(Q1, Q2) 100-Q1-2Q2.
b. MR1(Q1, Q2) = 100-4Q1-2Q2 and MR2(Q1, Q2) = 100 - 2Q1 - 402.
c. MR1(Q1, Q2) = 100 - 2Q1 - 4Q2 and MR2(Q1, Q2) = 100 - 4Q1 - 2Q2.
d. MR1(Q1, Q2) = 24.5 - 0.5Q2 and MR2(Q1, Q2) = 24.5 - 0.5Q1.
Two identical firms compete as a Cournot duopoly. The demand they face is P = 90-Q. The cost function for each firm is C(Q_i) = 6Qi. Each firm earns equilibrium profits of:_____.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The revenue - firm 1 will be:
= P x Q1
= 100Q1 - 2Q1² -2Q1Q2
Then, marginal revenue MR1 will be:
= dR1/dQ1
= 100 - 4Q1 -2Q2
Similarly, the revenue for firm 2 will be:
= P x Q2
= 100Q2 - 2Q2² -2Q1Q2
Then, MR2 will be:
= 100 - 4Q2 - 2Q1
Therefore, MR1(Q1, Q2) = 100-4Q1-2Q2 and MR2(Q1, Q2) = 100 - 2Q1 - 402.
Option B is the correct answer.
P = 90 - Q
Q = Q1 + Q2
The revenue for firm 1 (R1) will be:
= PQ1
= 90Q1 - Q1² - Q2Q1
The marginal revenue MR1 will be:
= 90 - 2Q1 - Q2
The marginal cost MC is:
= dC/dQ
= 6
Since profit is maximized when MR = MC, this will be:
90 - 2Q1 - Q2 = 6
- 2Q1 - Q2 = 6 - 90
- 2Q1 - Q2 = - 84
2Q1 + Q2 = 84
3Q = 84
Q1 = Q2 = 28
Therefore,
P = 90-Q.
P = 90 - (Q1 + Q2)
P = 90 - (28 + 28)
P = 90 - 56
P = 34
Then, the equilibrium profit will be:
= Total revenue - Total cost
= (34 × 28) - (6 × 28)
= 952 - 168
= 784

The Arthur Company manufactures kitchen utensils. The company is currently producing well below its full capacity. The Benton Company has approached Arthur with an offer to buy 15,000 utensils at $0.90 each. Arthur sells its utensils wholesale for $1.00 each; the average cost per unit is $0.96, of which $0.14 is fixed costs. If Arthur were to accept Benton's offer, what would be the increase in Arthur's operating profits
Answer:
$1,200
Explanation:
Since Arthur Company is producing below its capacity, it means it does not have to increase in plant capacity, I mean fixed costs in order to fulfil the special order, hence, in determining the increase in operating profits, we would only consider variable costs.
average cost per unit=variable cost per unit+fixed cost per unit
$0.96=variable cost per unit+$0.14
variable cost per unit=$0.96-$0.14
variable cost per unit=$0.82
Increase in operating profits=(special order price-variable cost per unit)*quantity of special order
special order price=$0.90
variable cost per unit=$0.82
quantity of special order=15000 utensils
Increase in operating profits=($0.90-$0.82)*15000
Increase in operating profits=$1,200

Indicate which costs incurred in acquiring the new printing press that should be debited to the asset account.
a. Fee paid to factory representative for installation
b. Freight
c. Insurance while in transit
d. New parts to replace those damaged in unloading
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
a. Fee paid to factory representative for installation - DEBITED to Asset account
b. Freight - DEBITED to Asset account
c. Insurance while in transit - DEBITED to Asset account
d. New parts to replace those damaged in unloading - NOT DEBITED to Asset account
To understand which costs incurred in acquiring the new printing press should be debited to the asset account, it should be noted that "new parts to replace those damaged in unloading" does not lead to improvement in assets, hence, it should be considered as Expense instead of being devoted into the asset account.
