Answers

Answer:

High prices of products as well as increases poverty.  

Explanation:

The stock market declines sharply, reducing consumers’ wealth that leads to high prices of products as well as increases poverty.  The federal government increases spending on national defense that decreases the foreign reserves and money for other fields of the country. A technological improvement raises productivity which increases the economy of the country as well as standard of living. A recession overseas causes foreigners to buy fewer U.S. goods that leads to lower income of the country and purchasing power of the country. Due to this, there is less money for other fields and institutions.

Recology CleanScapes, formed when CleanScapes of Seattle merged with San Francisco–based Recology, provides recycling services to about 800,000 residential and commercial customers in four western states. The employee-owned company’s motto is "WASTE ZERO," and it is an industry leader in the waste reduction and recovery industry. Recology CleanScapes has credited much of its financial success, low employee turnover, and high customer satisfaction to open-book management.
Recycling is a worldwide industry. If Recology CleanScapes decided to expand by acquiring companies in other countries, which of the following issues should managers take into consideration when deciding where and how to operate? Check all that apply.
A- In some countries, like China and India, it is not customary to publicly disclose company financial information.
B- In countries with high power distance, where inequality between managers and employees is expected, companies may have difficulty using open-book management.
C- Employees in some countries are not sufficiently well educated to understand company financial information.

Answers

Answer:

A- In some countries, like China and India, it is not customary to publicly disclose company financial information. B- In countries with high power distance, where inequality between managers and employees is expected, companies may have difficulty using open-book management.

Explanation:

Using open book management would mean disclosing financial information to ensure that employees know how best to use that information to push the company forward. If this is looked down upon in a country like in China and India, Recology would not be able to properly implement its open-book management style so it should take that into consideration.

This is the same problem as countries with high power distance. Inequality is expected and even encouraged between managers and employees yet Recology practices open-book management which actually tries to reduce this equality so Recology needs to properly consider such countries before they move in.

The managers must take into consideration when deciding where and how to operate is that;

In countries with high power distance, where inequality between managers and employees is expected, companies may have difficulty using open-book management.

When there is high power distances, lower-ranking citizens and employees is prone to accept and expect that power will not be distributed equally, and this also makes politicians and business leaders are distanced or isolated from others.

In business, managers need consider the following; information, time, personnel, equipment, and supplies and and also note any limiting factors.

Managers should boast the morale of employees so as to focus on their individual job performance and reward them for individual result.

Required

Based on this information alone:

a. Record the events under an accounting equation.

b. Prepare an income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows for the Year 1 accounting period.

The explanation of the answer is now presented as follows:

a. Record the events under an accounting equation.

Note: See Part a of the attached excel file for the record of the events under an accounting equation.

From Part of the attached excel file, we have:

Use rent = Rent paid = (Number of months used in Year 1 / Number of months in a year) = $15,000 * (11 / 12) = $13,750

Assets = Cash + Prepaid rent = $7,000 + $1,250 = $8,250

Liabilities = $0

Stockholders' Equity = $8,250

Therefore, we have:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $8,250

b. Prepare an income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows for the Year 1 accounting period.

Note: See Part b of the attached excel file for the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows for the Year 1 accounting.

From Part of the attached excel file, we have:

Net income = $8,250

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $8,250

Ending cash balance = $7,000

Note:

Increase in prepaid rent = Rent expense to be recognized in Year 2 = Rent paid - Rent used = $15,500 - $13,750 = $1,250

Which per unit cost does the slope of the total cost line represent? Group of answer choices Fixed Variable. Semivariable Step-variable

Answers

Answer: Variable cost

Explanation:

The slope of a regression line is meant to represent the change in the total variable or y, as a result of a change in the number of independent observations or x.

The cost that changes during production as a result of an increase in x which is the volume of products, is the variable cost so it is the slope of the total cost line,

Slope of total cost line:

y = mx + c

y = total cost

m = variable cost. m is also slope.

x = production volume

c = fixed cost

Answers

Answer:

a. Weighted-average unit cost = $9.092

b. We have:

Ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO method = $290

Ending inventory at May 31 using the LIFO method = $232

Ending inventory at May 31 using the average-cost method = $264

Explanation:

a. Calculate the weighted-average unit cost. (Round answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 5.125.)

Weighted-average unit cost = Total Cost of units of inventory available for sale / Total units of units of inventory available for sale = $891 / 98 = $9.092

b. Calculate the ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO, LIFO and average-cost methods. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)

Ending inventory in units = Total units of units of inventory available for sale – Units sold = 98 - 69 = 29

Therefore, we have:

Ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO method = Ending inventory in units * Unit cost of purchases on May 24 = 29 * $10 = $290

Ending inventory at May 31 using the LIFO method = Ending inventory in units * Unit cost of inventory on May 1 = 29 * $8 = $232

Ending inventory at May 31 using the average-cost method = Ending inventory in units * Weighted-average unit cost = 29 * $9.092 = $264

The strategic plan of a solar energy company that manufactures high-efficiency solar cells includes an expansion of its physical plant in 4 years. The manager in charge of planning estimates the expenditure required to be $1.17 million in 4 years. The company plans to sets aside $1 million now into an account that earns interest equal to the rate of inflation. What will the inflation rate have to be in order for the company to have exactly the right amount of money for the expansion?
a) 4%
b) 2%
c) Unknown
d) 6%

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "Option a".

Explanation:

Given:

FV=1.17

PV=1

n=4

We are aware of a future value formula that  is:

[tex]FV = PV\times (1 + i)^n[/tex]

Put the value into the above formula:  

[tex]\to 1.17 = 1\times (1 + i)^{4}\\\\\to 1.04 = (1 + i)\\\\\to 1.04 -1 = i\\\\\to i=0.04\\\\[/tex]

Calculating the percentage of i= 4%

Therefore The rate of interest is equivalent to the inflation rate, which is projected predicted, according to global meta and experts, The Us will reach 5.70 percent even by conclusion of the this year. In the future, we anticipate that the inflation rate in the US is 3.20 in twelve months.

Lakeview Engine, Inc., produces engines for the watercraft industry. An outside manufacturer has offered to supply several component parts used in the engine assemblies, which are currently being produced by Lakeview. The supplier will charge Lakeview $325 per engine for the set of parts. Lakeview’s current costs for those part sets are direct materials, $145; direct labor, $85; and manufacturing overhead applied at 100% of direct labor. Variable manufacturing overhead is considered to be 20% of the total, and fixed overhead will not change if the part sets are acquired from the outside supplier.
What would be the net cost advantage or disadvantage if Lakeview decided to purchase the parts?

Answers

Answer:

Lakeview Engine, Inc.

The net cost disadvantage if Lakeview decided to purchase the parts from the supplier per part is:

= $78

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Price by outside supplier per engine = $325

Current costs of manufacturing the engine:

Direct materials per unit = $145

Direct labor per unit = $85

Variable manufacturing overhead (20%) = $17

Fixed manufacturing overhead (80%) = $68

Total variable manufacturing cost per unit = $247

Incremental Analysis:

                                                             Make           Buy      Incremental

Production costs:

Variable manufacturing costs per unit:

Direct materials per unit                      $145

Direct labor per unit                              $85

Variable manufacturing per unit           $17

Total variable manufacturing costs   $247         $325        $78

b) Therefore, it costs more to Lakeview to buy the part from the outside supplier than it does when it makes it internally.  Lakeview should continue making the parts.

 

The sources of economic growth are​ _______. A. work hours growth and labor productivity growth B. democracy and labor productivity growth C. job experience and low inflation D. work hours growth and a stable government

Answers

Answer:

A. work hours growth and labor productivity growth

Explanation:

An economy is a function of how money, means of production and resources (raw materials) are carefully used to facilitate the demands and supply of goods and services to meet the unending needs or requirements of the consumers.

Hence, a region's or country's economy is largely dependent on how resources are being allocated and utilized, how many goods and services are to be produced, what should be produced, for whom they are to be produced for and how much money are to be spent by the consumers to acquire these goods and services.

Basically, there are four (4) main types of economy and these are;

I. Mixed economy.

II. Free market economy.

III. Traditional economy.

IV. Command economy.

Generally, the sources of economic growth of a country are​ work hours growth and labor productivity growth.

Labor (working) is simply the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.

As discussed in the lecture video, Crocs’ plastic molding and sandal design capabilities have provided the firm with only a temporary competitive advantage, as incumbent firms began selling sandals that were very similar to the Crocs’ clogs. Crocs lost its competitive advantage primarily because of ___________

Answers

Answer: c. competitor imitation

Explanation:

When a company makes a good product that people like and therefore brings in profit, other companies will copy that product if it is not protected by law so that they too can make profit as well.

This is what happened to the Crocs' clogs. Other companies imitated them and so Crocs lost their competitive advantage. This led to prices falling for such footwear as the supply increased. It is for this reason that companies try to get patents when they make a product.

Which of the following statements is incorrect? Employment insurance compensation encourages longer job searches, which may lead to a better match between jobs and employees. Employment insurance compensation increases the opportunity cost of being unemployed. The typical employment insurance compensation is roughly one third of one's latest salary for up to 26 weeks. Demand and supply curves for labor are constantly shifting.

unemployed.

A company has an overhead application rate of 124% of direct labor costs. How much overhead would be allocated to a job if it required total labor costing $24,000?

Answers

Answer:

$29,760

Explanation:

Overhead application rate = 124% of direct labor cost

The required total labor costing = $24,000

Total overhead applied = Overhead application rate *  $24,000

Total overhead applied = 124% * $24000

Total overhead applied = $29,760

Once a good or service nears the end of its product life cycle, the firm recognizes that Multiple Choice it is impossible to revert to an earlier stage of the model. it can return to an earlier stage through creative marketing. it will enjoy relatively high profits. marketing dollars spent now will provide little benefit.

Answers

Answer:

it can return to an earlier stage through creative marketing.

Explanation:

A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.

Generally, there are four (4) stages in the product-life cycle;

1. Introduction.

2. Growth.

3. Maturity.

4. Decline.

A product that is at the decline stage is generally referred to as a failed product and wouldn't generate profit or much revenue for the manufacturer because it has little economic importance.

However, once a good or service nears the end of its product life cycle i.e it's at the decline stage, the business firm recognizes that it can return to an earlier stage where it offers satisfaction to the consumers and generate revenue, through creative marketing.

Marketing can be defined as the process of developing promotional techniques and sales strategies by a firm, so as to enhance the availability of goods and services to meet the needs of the end users or consumers through advertising and market research.

A company would like to invest in a capital budget project that will be worth $500,000 in 40 years. How much should this company invest today, assuming an average inflation rate of 2% and a 10% annual return

Answers

Answer:

Company needs to invest amount = $23000

Explanation:

Below is the calculation of the present value:

Given the future value, FV = $500000

Number of years, n = 40 years

Real interest rate = 10% - 2% = 8%

Present value = ?

Present value = FV (P/F, r, n)

Present value = $500000 (P/F, 8%, 40)

Present value = $500000 (0.046)

Present value = $23000

Company needs to invest amount = $23000

Required: Monson sells 15 units for $20 each on December 15. Assume the periodic inventory system is used. Determine the costs assigned to ending inventory when costs are assigned based on the weighted average method. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign. Round cost per units to 2 decimals.)

Answers

Answer:

The costs assigned to ending inventory are $11.33 per unit and $340 total cost.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Trey Monson starts a merchandising business on December 1 and enters into the following three inventory purchases. Also, on December 15, Monson sells 15 units for $20 each.

Purchases on December 7           10 units at $ 6.00 cost

Purchases on December 14         20 units at $12.00 cost

Purchases on December 21          15 units at $14.00 cost

Required: Monson sells 15 units for $20 each on December 15. Assume the periodic inventory system is used. Determine the costs assigned to ending inventory when costs are assigned based on the weighted average method. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign. Round cost per units to 2 decimals.)

The explanation of the answer is no provided as follows:

Periodic inventory refers to an inventory system that is updated on a periodic basis such as monthly, quarterly, or annually.

The weighted average method is a formula that divides the cost of products offered for sale by the number of units available for sales.

Combining these two methods, we have:

Value of Purchases on December 7 = 10 * $6.00 = $60

Value of Purchases on December 14 = 20 * $12.00 = $240

Value of Purchases on December 21 = 15 * $14.00 = $210

Total value of units available for sale = $60 + $240 + $210 = $510

Total units available for sale = 10 + 20 + 15 = 45

Costs assigned to ending inventory per unit = Weighted average cost per unit = Total value of units available for sale / Total units available for sale $510 / 45 = $11.33

Units of ending inventory = Total units available for sale – Number of units sold = 45 - 15 = 30

Total cost of ending inventory = Units of ending inventory * Weighted average cost per unit = $11.33 * 30 = $340

Therefore, the costs assigned to ending inventory are $11.33 per unit and $340 total cost.

A cost-benefit analysis of a highway is difficult to conduct because analysts a. are unlikely to have access to costs on similar projects. b. cannot estimate the explicit cost of a project that has not been completed. c. are not able to consider the opportunity cost of resources. d. will have difficulty estimating the value of the highway.

Answers

Answer:

d. will have difficulty estimating the value of the highway.

Explanation:

Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is used to examine and compare the cost associated with a project or task and the benefits derived from it.

Simply stated, cost-benefit analysis is a form of utilitarianism commonly used by individuals, business firms and government in the decision-making process, as all the cost incurred are determined and analyzed.

This ultimately implies that, it may be used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating income and net income.

Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) sums the total cost associated with a project (activity) and compares this cost against the total benefits that would be generated. Thus, it helps in the decision-making process by comparing the net present value (NPV) of the cost of a particular project with the net present value (NPV) of its benefits.

In this context, the cost-benefit analysis of a highway would be difficult to conduct because analysts will have difficulty estimating the value of the highway.

This ultimately implies that, the value or cost benefits associated with the highway is difficult to ascertain or estimate.

You paid $9,700 for a $10,000 par value Treasury bill maturing in 3 months. What is the holding-period return if you hold the treasury bill until maturity

Answers

Answer:

The holding-period return if the treasury bill is held until maturity is:

= $300.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Par value of Treasury bill = $10,000

Price paid for the bill =           9,700

Holding-period return =         $300

Maturity period of the bill = 3 months

b) The holding-period return, otherwise called the yield, is the total return earned on the Treasury bill investment during the 3 months that it is held. The holding period is the 3-months time the Treasury bill is held by an investor, which corresponds to the period between the purchase date and sale date of the Treasury bill.

If the substitution effect of the real interest rate on saving is larger than the income effect of the real interest rate on saving, then a rise in the real interest rate leads to a ________ in consumption and a ________ in saving, for someone who's a lender.

Answers

Answer:

rise, fall

Explanation:

In the case when the subsitution effect with respect to the real rate of interest should be saved and more than the income effect on the real rate of interest so if there is an increased in the real rate of interest so there is an increase in the consumption also there is the fall in the savings

Also, if there is a more income effect, the consumption should rise and the savings would decline

Therefore the rise and fall should be considered to fill the blanks
