Here the loss would be debited as it increased the losses and accumulated depreciation is credited as it decreased the assets
In the context of using information technologies for a competitive advantage, which statement is true of a top-line strategy? a. It focuses on generating new revenue by offering new products and services. b. It focuses on improving efficiency by reducing overall costs. c. It focuses on helping different market segments achieve technological advancement. d. It focuses on refining operations by using latest technologies.
Answer:
a. It focuses on generating new revenue by offering new products and services.
Explanation:
An information system or technology can be defined as a set of components or computer systems, which is used to collect, store, and process data, as well as dissemination of information, knowledge, and distribution of digital products. Thus, an information system or technology interacts with its environment by receiving data in its raw forms and information in a usable format.
Information technology is an integral part of human life because individuals, organizations, and institutions rely on information technologies in order to perform their duties, functions or tasks and to manage their operations effectively. For example, all organizations make use of information systems for supply chain management, process financial accounts, manage their workforce, and as a marketing channels to reach their customers or potential customers.
Additionally, an information system comprises of five (5) main components;
1. Hardware.
2. Software.
3. Database.
4. Human resources.
5. Telecommunications.
Hence, in the context of using information technologies for a competitive advantage over rivals in the industry, the statement which is true of a top-line strategy is that, it focuses on generating new revenue by offering new products and services. The top-line strategy ensures that the company continues to generate gross revenue or sales.
A company issued 8%, 15-year bonds with a face amount of $100 million. The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 6%. Interest is paid semiannually. At what price did the bonds sell
Answer:
$119.60 million
Explanation:
The bond price formula provided below is very useful in determining the amount of money received from the bond investors when the bond were issued:
Bond price=face value/(1+r)^n+semiannual coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
face value=$100 million
r=semiannual yield=6%*6/12=3%
n=number of semiannual coupon payments in 15 years=15*2=30
semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*6/12=$100million*8%*6/12=$4 million
bond price=$100/(1+3%)^30+$4*(1-(1+3%)^-30/3%
bond price=$100/(1.03)^30+$4*(1-(1.03)^-30/0.03
bond price=$100/2.42726247+$4*(1-0.41198676)/0.03
bond price=$100/2.42726247+$4*0.58801324/0.03
bond price=$41.20+$ 78.40=$119.60 million

When telling a friend about your new job, how would you describe this company’s operations? Both effective and efficient Effective but not efficient Efficient but not effective Neither effective nor efficient
Answer:
When telling a friend about your new job, how would you describe this company’s operations?
Neither effective nor efficient
Explanation:
The company's operations will be considered effective if they achieve objectives. But they do not produce the desired results because drivers often get the wrong addresses, making freights not to arrive at their destinations. Similarly, the company's operations cannot be described as efficient because trucks go out half full with wrong addresses. This is a waste of time, money, and efforts, and the performance competence of the company is questionable. Efficient operations accomplish results with the least amount of resources. Effective operations achieve desired results successfully.

Don James purchased a new automobile for $21,000. Don made a cash down payment of $5,250 and agreed to pay the remaining balance in 30 monthly installments, beginning one month from the date of purchase. Financing is available at a 24% annual interest rate.
Required:
Calculate the amount of the required monthly payment.
Answer:
monthly payment. = $703.24 per month
Explanation:
given data
Cost of auto = $21000
Cash Down payment = $5250
Loan amount = PV = 21000-5250
loan amount = $15,750
time period = 30 monthly
Rate = 24% pa = 24÷12 = 2% pm
solution
we get here monthly payment that is express as
monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{P\times r\times (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1}[/tex] ...................1
put here value and we get
monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{15750\times 0.02\times (1+0.02)^{30}}{(1+0.02)^{30}-1}[/tex]
solve it we get
monthly payment. = $703.24 per month
Kendra Corporation uses a process-cost accounting system. The company adds direct materials and direct labor at the start of its production process; overhead cost is incurred evenly throughout manufacturing. The firm has no beginning work-in-process inventory; its ending work in process is 40% complete. Which of the following sets of percentages would be used to calculate the correct number of equivalent units in the ending work-in-process inventory?
a. Materials, 100%; labor, 100%; overhead cost, 40%.
b. Materials, 100%; labor, 100%; overhead cost, 100%.
c. Materials, 100%; labor 40%; overhead cost, 40%.
d. Materials, 40%; labor, 40%; overhead cost, 60%.
e. Materials, 40%; labor, 40%; overhead cost, 100%.
Answer:
a. Materials, 100%; labor, 100%; overhead cost, 40%.
Explanation:
The work in Process have already passed the mark at which Materials and Labor are added, that is the start of its production process so these are both 100% complete. Overheads are 40 % complete, which is the extent of work done on them since they occur evenly.

If you deposit $5,000 4 years from today, how much can you withdraw 10 years from today if interest is 6 percent per year compounded annually?
Answer:
the future value is $7,093
Explanation:
The computation of the future value is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years
= $5,000 × (1 + 0.06)^6
= $5,000 × 1.06^6
= $7,093
Hence, the future value is $7,093
On discovering an improperly adjusted drill press, Jack Joyner, Director of Quality Control, ordered an inspection of every fifth casting drilled during the evening shift. Less than 1% of the sampled castings were defective; so, Jack released the evening shift's production to assembly. This is an example of _______________.
Answer:
Inferential statistics
Explanation:
Here, every fifth casting drill during evening shift is selected to identify the defectiveness of the casting. That is, every drill is considered as the sample. It is clear that the inference about the population is made. That is, less than 1% of the casting was defective, hence, it is concluded that is an example of inferential statistics
The board of directors of a corporation:________.
a) Are elected by the corporate registrar.
b) Are responsible for day-to-day operations of the business.
c) Do not have the power to bind the corporation to contracts, due to lack of mutual agency.
d) May not also be executive officers of the corporation, due to the separate entity principle.
e) Are responsible for and have final authority for managing corporate activities.
Answer:
e) Are responsible for and have final authority for managing corporate activities.
Explanation:
A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.
This ultimately implies that, a corporation is a corporate organization that owns or controls its business in two or more countries.
Some examples of multinational firms are Ap-ple, Volkswagen, Go-ogle, Shoprite, Nestlé, Accenture, Shell BP, Chevron etc.
An owner of a corporation is known as a stockholder and he or she can decide to sell the corporation through stocks or shares as a publicly traded firm.
Basically, the board of directors who are representing the stockholders of a corporation are responsible for and have final authority for managing corporate activities because they are typically considered to be a governing body saddled with oversight functions and responsibilities.

A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who together produced an average of 100 carts per hour. Workers receive $11 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $12 per hour, while output increased by 4 carts per hour. a. Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure of labor productivity. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
A. Labor productivity before=16 cart per workers-hour
Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour
B. Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour
Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour
Explanation:
A. Computation of labor productivity under each system
Labor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/6 workers
Labor productivity Before=16 cart per workers-hour
Labor productivity After=(100 carts per hour+4 carts per hour)/4 workers
Labor productivity After=(104carts per hour /4 workers
Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour
B. Computation of the multifactor productivity under each system.
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/(6 workers*$11 per hour)+$40 per hour
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/($66 per hour+$40 per hour)
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/$106 per hour
Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour
Multifactor productivity before=(100carts per hour + 4carts per hour)/(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /($66 per hour+$52 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /118per hour
Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

Compute depreciation expense on the machine for the year ending December 31, 2020, and the year ending December 31, 2021, using the following methods. (Round depreciation per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and final answers to decimal places, e-g. 45,892.)
2020 2021
(a) Straight-line
(b) Units-of-output
(c) Working hours
(d) Sum-of-the-years'digits
(e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate) $
Answer:
(a) Straight-line
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense per year = $100,800 / 7 = $14,400
depreciation expense 2020 = $14,400
depreciation expense 2021 = $14,400
(b) Units-of-output
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense per unit = $100,800 / 630,000 = $0.16
depreciation expense 2020 = $0.16 x 59,400 = $9,504
depreciation expense 2021 = $0.16 x 51,800 = $8,288
(c) Working hours
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense per working hour = $100,800 / 50,400 = $2
depreciation expense 2020 = $2 x 6,480 = $12,960
depreciation expense 2021 = $2 x 5,940 = $11,880
(d) Sum-of-the-years' digits
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense 2020 = $100,800 x 7/28 = $25,200
depreciation expense 2021 = $100,800 x 6/28 = $21,600
(e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate)
depreciation expense 2020 = $100,800 x 2/7 = $28,800
depreciation expense 2021 = $72,000 x 2/7 = $20,571

3. You are considering investing in a startup company called Minions Technologies. After careful analysis, you determine that Minions will be able to generate $100,000 in cash flow at the end of each year for the first 5 years. Then, Minions will generate cash flow of $400,000 at the end of the 6th year, after which it will grow at 11% per year forever. Using a discount rate of 18%, what is the amount you would be willing to invest
Answer:
$2,810,467
Explanation:
we need to determine the enterprise value of Minions Technologies
first, the terminal value at year 5 = $400,000 / (18% - 11%) = $5,714,286
then we must find the present value of all future cash flows, including the terminal value
PV of 5 five cash flows = $100,000 x 3.127 (PV annuity factor, 18%, 5 periods) = $312,700
PV of terminal value = $5,714,286 / 1.18⁵ = $2,497,767
total enterprise value = $2,810,467
Beth, an employer, wants to hire someone for a strenuous job that requires a great deal of training, which will take place over the course of several years. The applicant who appears most qualified is 58 years old; however, Beth is concerned that the applicant will not be able to handle the physical demands of the position in the long run. Further, she is concerned that the applicant will only continue working for several more years before she retires. Does Beth hire the applicant anyway
Answer:
Beth should not hire the applicant.
Explanation:
Based on common hiring practices, Beth should not hire the applicant. Mainly due to the applicant's age. It costs a company a large amount of money to properly train an employee in order to have them be as efficient as possible when working for the company. This is regardless of their current experience, therefore if a candidate is as old as this particular candidate and is already thinking of retiring then it will be a waste of company resources to hire the individual candidate. Instead, Beth should go for someone with the same experience/skills but will instead be with the company for the long term.
Which of the following is an example of Brazil undertaking importing?
a.Brazil buys made-in-China products to sell in its domestic market.
b.China buys raw materials such as iron ore from Brazil.
c.Brazilian companies invest heavily in the housing industry in the country.
d.Chinese companies invest in Brazilian industry.
A good example of Brazil undertaking importation is A. Brazil buys made-in-China products.
The products are made in China and imported into Brazil by businesses, institutions, and individuals resident in Brazil.
Importation does not involve the following options:
Option b, whereby "China buys raw materials such as iron ore from Brazil." For Brazil, this is an export. Option c, whereby "Brazilian companies invest heavily in the housing industry in the country." This is domestic investment for Brazil. Option d, whereby "Chinese companies invest in Brazilian industry." This is known Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).Thus, when Brazilian persons import products and services from another country, they are classified as imports and not exports or domestic investments.

Lincoln Company purchased merchandise from Grandville Corp. on September 30, 2021. Payment was made in the form of a noninterest-bearing note requiring Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400 on each September 30, beginning on September 30, 2024. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.) Required: Calculate the amount at which Lincoln should record the note payable and corresponding purchases on September 30, 2021, assuming that an interest rate of 9% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.
Answer: $16,613
Explanation:
As the noninterest-bearing note required Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400, this is an annuity because it is a constant figure.
The amount that should be recorded is the present value of this amount.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -no. of periods) / rate
= 4,400 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9%)⁻⁶) / 9%
= $19,738
This present value is for September 30, 2023. It needs to be discounted further to September 30, 2021.
= 19,738 / (1 + 9%)²
= $16,613
Economists develop models to A. capture every detail of the real world. B. justify the assumptions they make about%E2%80%8B people's behavior. C. make their arguments more realistic. D. help us understand economic phenomena in the real world.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
An economic model is a caricature of reality. It allows users to observe, understand and predict economic phenomena. Economic models don't capture every detail of the real world
Examples of economic models include :
the production possibility frontierthe Keynesian IS/LM modelthe Mundell-Fleming model.The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.
The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.

There 22 Question
Suppose that a task in a project has the following time estimates: to optimistic completion time 11 weeks tm most likely completion time 14 weeks tp pessimistic completion time 23 weeks Compute the expected task variance. The task expected task variance is weeks. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer:
6 weeks
Explanation:
Optimistic Completion Time - 11 weeks
Most likely completion time - 14 weeks
Pessimistic completion time - 23 weeks
Compute the expected task variance in weeks. Recall that Variance is a measure of dispersion - a measure that shows the distance or spread between or among values of a variable.
Expected Variance is the average of the variance values.
First,
the variance between optimistic CT and most likely CT is (14 - 11) = 3 weeks
Second,
the variance between pessimistic CT and most likely CT is (23 - 14) = 9 weeks
The expected variance is the average of these two values and that's (3 + 9)/2 = 12/2 = 6 weeks
So the expected variance from the mean completion time of 14 weeks is 6 weeks before or 6 weeks after. This accommodates both the optimist and the pessimist.
Sue views hot dogs (H) and hot dog buns (B) as perfect complements in her consumption, and the corners of her indifference curves follow the 45-degree line: H-B. Suppose the price of hot dogs is $5 per package (8 hot dogs), the price of buns is $3 per package (8 hot dog buns), and Sue's budget is $48 per month. What is her optimal choice under this scenario?
A. 6 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns.
B. 6 packages of hot dogs and 8 packages of buns.
C. 8 packages of hot dogs and 8 packages of buns.
D. 8 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
a budget constraint is the total amount of goods and services an individual can buy given the price of the products and the income of the consumer.
Sue is constrained by her income. Thus, she must spend within $48
The equation for this is :
$5H + $3B = $48
where
H = hot dogs
B = Hot dog buns
(5 x 6 ) + (3 x 6 ) = $48

For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Paolo chooses Right and Sharon chooses Right, Paolo will receive a payoff of 5 and Sharon will receive a payoff of 4.
The only dominant strategy in this game is for _________ to choose __________.
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses __________ and Sharon chooses _______.
Question Completion:
Matrix payoff:
Sharon
Left Right
Paolo Left 8, 3 4, 4
Right 5, 3 5, 4
Answer:
The only dominant strategy in this game is for ___Paolo______ to choose ____Right______.
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses ____Right______ and Sharon chooses __ Right_____.
Explanation:
a) Paolo's dominant strategy is the strategy that always provides the greater utility to Paolo, no matter what Sharon's strategy is. In this case, the dominant strategy for Paolo is to choose RIGHT always.
b) The Nash Equilibrium concept determines the optimal solution in a non-cooperative game in which each player (e.g. Paolo and Sharon) lacks any incentive to change their initial strategies. This implies that each player can achieve their desired outcomes by not deviating from their initial strategies since each player's strategy is optimal when considering the decisions of the other player.
