Answer:

B. Anncrease in the wage rate

One thing that will not lead to a change in the demand for labor is B. Annual increase in the wage rate.

When there are more employers, more labor will be demanded as when there is an increase in labor productivity.

When there is a decrease in the price of a product however, the demand for labor drops. Annual increases in the wage rate are already accounted for and so do not affect labor demand.

Answer:

If the company makes the component, it will save $2,500.

Explanation:

To determine which option is better, we need to calculate the total cost of each option and choose the cheapest one. We will take into account the avoidable fixed overhead cost, thus the rest is inconsequential to the decision-making process.

Make in-house:

Direct material= $22,000

Direct labor= $6,500

Variable overhead= $20,000

Avoidable fixed overhead= $4,000

Total cost= $52,500

Buy:

Total cost= $55,000

If the company makes the component, it will save $2,500.

Answer:

How does the bank write off the debt?

Answer and Explanation:

The calculation is given below:

(i) Immediate Repayment:

Let us assume the annual repayments be $ P

So

$10,000 = P × (1 ÷ 0.08) × [1 - {1 ÷ (1.08)^(10)}]

$10,000 = P × 6.71008

P = $10,000 ÷ 6.71008

= $1490.3

(ii) Grace Period of 5 years:

Let us assume the annual repayments be $N

Now  

Accumulated Loan Value after 5 years is

= $10,000 × (1.08)^(5)

= $14,693.3

So, $14,693.3 = N × (1 ÷ 0.08) × [1-{1 ÷ (1.08)^(10)}]

$14,693.3 = N × 6.71008

N = 14693.3 ÷ 6.71008

= $2189.74

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

Answer:

The Milken Company

The annual return on this investment is:

= 8.3%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total returns at the end of 7 years = $10,000

Total investment today =                       6,330

Total returns from the investment =  $3,670

Annual return = $524 ($3,670/7)

= 8.3% ($524/$6,330 * 100)

b) The annual return on this investment is the total returns of $3,670 annualized to 7 years.  This gives an average annual return of $524, which is then used to calculate the percentage return, weighing it against the investment cost of $6,330.

Answer:

a.$52,816

Explanation:

Calculation to determine total fixed costs

First step

Variable cost per unit = (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/(Highest activity - Lowest activity)

Variable cost per unit= ( 82,800-64,900)/(3,200-1,290)

Variable cost per unit= 17,900/1910

Variable cost per unit= $9.37 per unit

Now let determine the Fixed cost

Fixed cost = Highest activity cost - Highest activity x Variable cost per hour

Fixed cost= $82,800 - 3,200 x 9.37

Fixed cost= $82,800-$29,984

Fixed cost= $52,816

Therefore Using the high-low method of cost estimation, total fixed costs are $52,816

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.

D. $16,000 debit

Explanation:

As we know Account receivable is a current asset account that has a normal debit balance. A debit entry in this account would increase the balance of the account and a credit entry in this account would decrease the account balance.

In the given question, There are two entries in the debit side.

Hence, The debit balance should be

Debit side total = 20,000 + 2,000 = 22,000

There is a credit entry in the account that will decrease the account balance

Account ending balance = 22,000 - 6,000

Account ending balance = 16,000

As the balance of the debit side is greater than the credit side. The answer will be debit 16,000

Answer:

An implied agreement is based on a formal agreement.

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implied contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, executory contract, etc.

Mutual assent is a legal term which represents an agreement by both parties to a contract. When two parties to a contract both have an understanding of the parameters, terms and conditions surrounding a contract, it ultimately implies that they are in agreement; this is generally referred to as mutual assent.

Simply stated, mutual assent connotes agreement, acceptance and consent to a contract by both parties.

An implied contract can be defined as an informal contract that exists based on an assumption or understanding between two or more parties, rather than on terms that are formally and specifically defined.

This ultimately implies that, an implied agreement is not based on a formal agreement but on assumptions or understanding between the parties involved.

Answer:

All of the following are symptoms of organizations struggling with strategy disconnect and unclear priorities EXCEPT

not enough projects within the portfolio to make a profit.

Explanation:

Strategy disconnect does not support an organization to be consistent in its actions at every level.  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.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

You would like to have enough money saved to receive a growing annuity for 25 years, growing at a rate of 4 percent per year, with the first payment of $60,000 occurring exactly one year after retirement. How much would you need to save in your retirement fund to achieve this goal? (The interest rate is 12%.)

Solution :

Given data :

pv of growing annuity, i = 0.04

Rate of interest, r = 0.12

Therefore,

[tex]$pv=\frac{60000}{(1+r) } + \frac{60000(1+i)}{(1+r)^2 } + \frac{60000(1+i)^2}{(1+r)^3 } + ...+ \frac{60000(1+r)^{24}}{(1+r)^{25} } $[/tex]

[tex]$pv=\frac{\frac{60000}{(1+r)}\left(1-\left(\frac{1+i}{1+r}\right)^{25}\right)}{1-\left(\frac{1+i}{1+r}\right)}$[/tex]

[tex]$pv=\frac{\frac{60000}{(1.12)}\left(1-\left(\frac{1.05}{1.12}\right)^{25}\right)}{1-\left(\frac{1.04}{1.12}\right)}$[/tex]

[tex]$pv = \frac{60000}{1.12} \times 11.80461368$[/tex]

[tex]$pv = \$ 632390.0191$[/tex]

pv = $ 632390.02 (rounding off)

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.
