Answer: $100
Explanation:
Since the person drives 10,000 miles per year, at 20 miles per gallon of gasoline (mpg ), then the number of gallons used for the year will be:
= 10000/20
= 500 gallons
Since the Federal gas tax is 20 cents/gallon, then the amount contributed by the driver to the Federal Trust Fund will be:
= 20cents × 500
= 10000 cents
Since 100 cents = $1
Then, 10000 cents will be:
= 10000/100
= $100
At the beginning of the year, American International had inventory worth $325,500 at cost. At the end of the year, the cost value of the inventory was $540,250. If annual cost of goods sold was $1,978,250 find the inventory turnover at cost for the year. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth) Group of answer choices
Answer:
Inventory turnover= 4.57
Explanation:
To calculate the inventory turnover, we need to use the following formula:
Inventory turnover= Cost of goods sold/ average inventory
Average inventory= (beginning inventory + ending inventory) / 2
Average inventory= (325,500 + 540,250) / 2
Average inventory= 432,875
Inventory turnover= 1,978,250 / 432,875
Inventory turnover= 4.57

After successfully completing your corporate finance class, you feel the next challenge ahead is to serve on the board of directors of Schenkel Enterprises. Unfortunately, you will be the only individual voting for you. a. If the company has 470,000 shares outstanding and the stock currently sells for $41, how much will it cost you to buy a seat if the company uses straight voting
Answer: $9,635,041
Explanation:
With 470,000 shares, you will need to hold a majority to vote yourself into the board.
To gain a majority, you need more than 50% of the shares:
= 470,000 / 2 + 1 share to give you majority
= 235,001 shares
The cost of 235,001 shares is:
= 235,001 * 41
= $9,635,041

Answer:
Ace, Inc.
The total ABC cost is:
= $6,560 and
Unit ABC cost assigned to Product G10 is:
= $65.60.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Activity Pools Costs Cost Drivers Activity Rate
Machine setups $15,000 number of setups (100) $150/setup
Material moves $22,000 number of material moves (220) 100/move
Machine operations $14,000 number of machine hours (175) 80/m.hr
Product G10
Number of units produced = 100
Machine setups cost = $1,800 (12 * $150)
Material moves cost = 2,200 (22 * $100)
Machine operations cost 2,580 (32 * $80)
Total ABC cost = $6,560

You sell 25,000 loaf of bread per year. The carrying cost associated the main ingredient wheat flour is estimated to be $8 per unit (amount used for 1 loaf of bread) per year, and the ordering cost is $10 per order. And assume 1 year is 300 days and lead time is 3 days.
Required:
a. What is the EOQ?
b. How much money you will lose if you order 300 units of wheat flour? Calculate the total cost of inventory with EOQ model and with order size is 300. The difference will give you the answer.
c. Calculate the re-order point (assuming no uncertainty)?
Answer:
Annual Demand (D) = 25000
Carrying Cost (H) = 8
Ordering Costs (S) = 10
Number of working days = 300
Lead Time (Lt) = 3 days
a. EOQ = Sqrt (2*D*S/H)
EOQ = Sqrt (2*25000*10/8)
EOQ = Sqrt (62500)
EOQ = 250
b. Total Cost = (D * S) / EOQ + (EOQ * H) / 2
Total Cost = (25000 * 10) / 250 + (250 * 8) / 2
Total Cost = 1000 + 1000
Total Cost = 2000
Now, we calculate total Cost with order size: of 300
Total Cost = (25000 * 10) / 300 + (300 * 8) / 2
Total Costs = 833.3333 + 1200
Total Cost = 2,033.3333
The amount to lost if we order 300 units of wheat flour is as follows
= 2033.33 - 2000
= $33.33
3. ROP = (D / Number of working days) x Lt
ROP = (25000 / 300) * 3
ROP = 83.3333 * 3
ROP = 249.9999
ROP = 250
Short Answer 7: If the government announced that they were going to reduce the income tax next year, financed by finding a large and previously-unknown warehouse of real goods. What would happen to labor
Answer:
The labor would increase
Explanation:
When the government decides to lower the income tax in the coming year, which is financed by the findings of a large as well as a previously unknown warehouse for real goods, then there would be an increase in the labor as the reduction in the income tax would cause more and more investment. And thus organizations and firms increase their efficiencies and create more and more output by increasing the labor.
Contingency approach notion
Answer:
Following are the responses to the given choices:
Explanation:
The contingency approach is also an organizational argument that assumes that the best way to manage, manage, or choice is not feasible. Instead, it is also the internally and externally situation that depends again on the best course of action.
It helps the manager improve leadership and decision-making. Emergency provides employees various options which enable people to grow & share their thoughts with the company. It helps develop the structure as an organizational structure and to design appropriate systems for data choices.
Suppose that the production function is y= 9k^0.5 N^0.5. With this production function, the marginal product of labor is MPN= 4.5K^0.5 N^-0.5. The capital stock is K= 25. The labor supply curve is NS= 100[(1-t)w]^2, where w is the real wage rate, t is the tax rate on labor income, and hence (1-t)w is the after-tax real wage rate.
Required:
a. Assume that the tax rate on labor income, t, equals zero. Find the equation of the labor demand curve. Calculate the equilibrium levels of the real wage and employ- ment, the level of full-employment output, and the total after-tax wage income of workers.
b. Repeat part (a) under the assumption that the tax rate on labor income, t, equals 0.6.
Answer:
A) i) w/P = MPN , ( NS ) = 100[ (1-t) w]^2
ii) w = 1.5 , N = 225,
iii) y = 675 ,
iv) 337.5
B) i) ( NS ) = 100[(1-0.6)w]^2
ii) w = 2.372 , N = 90
iii) y = 426.91
iv) 85.839
Explanation:
Given data :
Production function ( y ) = 9k^0.5 N^0.5
MPN = 4.5k^0.5N^-0.5
capital stock ( K ) = 25
labor supply curve ( NS ) = 100[ (1-t) w]^2
assume P = 1
a) Determine
i) equation of labor demand curve = w/P = MPN
where; w = 22.5 N^-0.5 , N=506.25/(w^2)
labor supply curve ( NS ) = 100[ (1-t) w]^2
ii) equilibrium levels of real wage and employment
506.25/(w^2) = 100[(1-t)w]^2 ( equilibrium condition )
w ( equilibrium level of real wage ) = 1.5
equilibrium level of employment = 100[(1-t)w]^2 ; where t = 0 , w = 1.5
= 100 ( 1 * 1.5 )^2
N = 225
iii) level of full-employment y = 9k^0.5 N^0.5 ; where N = 225 , k = 25
= 9(25)^0.5 * (225)^0.5
y = 675
iv) Total after-tax wage income of workers
= w*N = ( 225 * 1.5 ) = 337.5
B) assuming t = 0.6
i) equation of labor demand curve
labor supply curve ( NS ) = 100[(1-0.6)w]^2 = 16 w^2
ii) equilibrium levels ; 16w^2 = 506.25/(w^2).
w( equilibrium real wage ) = 2.372
Equilibrium employment ( N )= 16 * ( 2.372 )^2 =90
iii) level of full employment y = 9k^0.5 * 90^0.5
= 9(25)^0.5 * 90^0.5 = 426.91
iv) Total after tax wage/income of workers
= (1-0.6)*2.372*90 = 85.839
Molly, a company mediator, had agreed to help Martin and Samir. The two men had been in constant disagreement ever since they became co-managers of the marketing department two months ago, and this disagreement was starting to impact all parts of the department. During a mediation session, Molly asked the men to explain their conflict over a recent business proposal. "Tell me exactly which part of the proposal is causing the issues," she instructed.
"Well," Samir started cautiously, "I grew up in Arizona, and I know that the Hispanic American community there sometimes does things differently from the way we do things here in New York. Martin wants to try to close the deal quickly, but I don't think that will work. We need to focus on building relationships. I'm afraid Martin's way of operating might cause some conflict with the client."
"But Samir's approach will take too long! Do you want to be successful or not?" Martin said.
By taking into account differences in the Hispanic American community's cultural orientation, Samir is considering their __________ when determining the proposal approach.
a) intercultural inventory
b) subculture
c) preferred conflict style
d) cross-culture
By taking into account differences in the Hispanic American community's cultural orientation, Samir is considering their subculture when determining the proposal approach. Thus, option B is the correct option.
In this context, Samir is recognizing that the Hispanic American community in Arizona has a distinct cultural background that influences their behaviors and preferences. This cultural background can be considered a subculture, which is a smaller cultural group within a larger culture, sharing certain norms, values, and practices that differentiate them from the dominant culture.
Samir is taking into account this subculture's perspective when considering the approach to the proposal, recognizing that their way of doing things might differ from the New York business norms.
Thus, option B is the correct option.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Suppose that the Phillips curve is given by :
[tex]$\pi_t=\pi_t^e+0.1-2u_t$[/tex]
a). What is the natural rate of unemployment ?
Assuming [tex]$\pi_t^e=\theta \pi_{t-1}$[/tex] , and suppose that [tex]$\theta$[/tex] is initially equal to 0. Suppose that the rate of unemployment is initially equal to the natural rate. In year t, the authorities decide to bring the unemployment rate down to 3% and hold it there forever.

If a company is overly optimistic about debt collection, the company will understate bad debt expense and:
Answer:
overstate net income but days to collect will increase.
Explanation:
A bad debt expense is defined when any receivable is no more collectible as the customer is not able to fulfil or satisfy the obligation in order to pay the obligation of paying an outstanding debt because of some financial problems or due to bankruptcy.
Thus when any organization is more optimistic about the debt collection, it will understate the bad debt expenses and will also overstate the net income. But in this case the number of days to collect the payment increases.
A total materials variance is analyzed in terms of quantity and quality variances. tight and loose variances. price and quantity variances. buy and sell variances.
Answer:
price and quantity variances.
Explanation:
In Financial accounting, costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
Manufacturing costs can be defined as the overall costs associated with the acquisition of resources such as materials and the cost of converting these raw materials into finished goods. Manufacturing costs include direct labor costs, direct materials cost and manufacturing overhead costs.
Total direct materials variance gives the difference between the budgeted cost and actual cost of a unit of goods produced.
Generally, a total materials variance is analyzed in terms of price and quantity variances used by a manufacturer in the manufacturing of a particular product.
The annual demand of a product is 12,000 units, the ordering cost is $6 per order, and the holding cost is $2.50 per unit per year. Calculate the optimal order quantity using the fixed-order quantity model. [Select the appropriate range in which your answer falls.]
Answer: 240
Explanation:
Since the annual demand of a product is 12,000 units, the ordering cost is $6 per order, and the holding cost is $2.50 per unit per year, then the optimal order quantity will be calculated as:
Optimal order quantity = √(2 × Annual demand × Ordering cost / Holding cost)
where,
Annual demand = 12000
Ordering cost = 6
Holding cost = 2.5
Optimal order quantity will be:
= √(2 × 12000 × 6/2.5)
== √(144000/2.5)
= ✓57600
= 240
You are now 20 years of age and decide to save $100 at the end of each month until you are 65. If the interest rate is 9.2%, how much money will you have when you are 65?
Answer:
FV= $804,326.91
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly deposit (A)= $100
Interest rate (i)= 0.092/12= 0.0077
Number of periods= 45*12= 540 months
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {100*[(1.0077^540) - 1]} / 0.0077
FV= $804,326.91

Assume a sales price per unit of $10, variable cost per unit $6, and total fixed costs of $184800. What is the breakeven point in units
Answer:
The correct solution is "$462000".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Selling price per unit,
= $10
Variable cost per unit,
= $6
Now,
The contribution margin ratio will be:
= [tex]\frac{Selling \ price \ per \ unit-Variable \ cost \ oer \ unit}{Selling \ price \ per \ unit}[/tex]
By putting the values, we get
= [tex]\frac{10-6}{10}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4}{10}[/tex]
= [tex]0.4[/tex]
hence,
The break-even point will be:
= [tex]\frac{Fixed \ costs}{Contribution \ mar gin \ ratio}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{184800}{0.4}[/tex]
= [tex]462000[/tex] ($)

= 1 - 30%
= 70%
Growth rate = 13.6%
We'll the use the sustainable growth rate formula which will be:
0.136 = (ROE x 0.7)/ (1-(ROE x 0.7))
0.136(1 - (0.7ROE)) = 0.7ROE
ROE = 0.136/0.7952
ROE = 0.171026
Then, the Profit margin will be:
ROE = Profit Margin x Asset Turnover x Equity multiplier
0.171026 = PM x (1/0.98) x (1 + 1.8)
0.171026 = PM x (1/0.98) x 2.8
PM = 0.171026 x 0.98/2.8
PM = 0.0598591
Profit margin = 5.99%
Lucy has decided to save for a vacation in 18 months. She will save the money into a short-term investment account returning 4% annually. How much will she have to put away at the beginning of each month if the vacation cost is $15,000
Answer:
Monthly deposit= $810.20
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of periods (n)= 18 months
Interest rate (i)= 0.04/12= 0.0033
Future value (FV)= $15,000
To calculate the monthly deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (15,000*0.0033) / [(1.0033^18) - 1]
A= $810.20
Favre and Carter Law Office employ 12 full-time attorneys and 5 paraprofessionals. Budgeted salaries include $100,000 for each attorney and $30,000 per paraprofessional. For 20x1, indirect costs were budgeted at $250,000, but actually amounted to $300,000. Actual salaries were $110,000 for each attorney and $30,000 for each paraprofessional. Direct and indirect costs are applied on a professional labor-hour basis that includes both attorney and paraprofessional hours. Total budgeted labor-hours were 50,000; however, actual labor-hours were 60,000.
How much should the client be billed in a normal costing system which uses budgeted rate and cost allocations are based on actual data, when 1,000 professional labor-hours were used?
a. $27,000
b. $32,000
c. $34,800
d. $37,400
Answer:
Billed costs= $32,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total estimated cost attorney= 12*100,000= $1,200,000
Total estimated cost paraprofessional= 5*30,000= $150,000
Estimated Indirect costs= $250,000
Estimated number of hours= 50,000
First, we need to calculate the allocation rate:
Allocation rate= total estimated costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Allocation rate= (1,200,000 + 150,000 + 250,000) / 50,000
Allocation rate= 1,600,000/50,000
Allocation rate= $32
Now, for 1,000 hours:
Billed costs= 1,000*32= $32,000
