Strike is the refusal to work which is typically organized by body of employees as a method of protesting in an attempt to get a pay rise or other concessions from the employer.

Strike can be as a result of demand for wages or salary increment, better working conditions, better treatment at workplace and non-discrimination, towards employees.

Strikes can bring about potential benefits such as better working conditions, increase in pay, improved labor productivity, increase in work morale, and lower absenteeism. Itcsn also bring about economic costs to the society. Strikes results in negative impacts on employees, employers, consumers, stakeholders, the government, and the whole economy.

During strikes, there are less goods available for consumers, decrease in revenue on the part of employers, idle employees, and the economy is also affected badly.

On January 1, 2021, M Company granted 95,000 stock options to certain executives. The options are exercisable no sooner than December 31, 2023, and expire on January 1, 2027. Each option can be exercised to acquire one share of $1 par common stock for $12. An option-pricing model estimates the fair value of the options to be $5 on the date of grant. What amount should M recognize as compensation expense for 2021

Answers

Answer:

$158,333 approx

Explanation:

The computation of compensation expense is shown below:-

Compensation expense = (Number of options expected to be exercised × Fair value) ÷ Vesting period (From 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2026)

= (95,000 × $5) ÷ 3 years

= $475,000 ÷ 3 years

= $158,333 approx

Therefore for computing the compensation expenses we simply applied the above formula.

The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 26 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $367.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would require Imperial Jewelers to buy a special tool for $457 and that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $7. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed. To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $8.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The company also believes that accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding party’s order using its existing manufacturing capacity.

Answers

Answer:

$541,800

Explanation:

Total cost of 6,000 units = $486,600 + $612,600 = $1,099,200  

Total cost of 7,000 units = $567,700 + $624,400 = $1,192,200

Change in total cost = $1,192,200 - $1,099,200 = $92,900

Change in unit = 7,000 - 6,000 = 1,000

Variable cost per unit = Change in total cost/Change in unit  = $92,900 / 1000 = $92.90  

Using information on either 7,000 units or 6,000 units to calculate the variable cost, we have:

Total monthly Fixed Cost = Total Cost - Variable Cost  = $1,099,200 - ($92.90 * 6,000) = $541,800

(Round actual rate and standard rate to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The Preparation of report for the plant supervisor on direct labor cost variances for March is attached with the help of spreadsheet.

The Formula are as shown below:-

Actual per hour = Actual costs ÷ Actual number of hours

Standard per hour = Standard costs ÷Standard number of hours

Quantity variance = (Actual hours -Standard hours) × Standard Rate

Price variance = (Actual Rate - Standard Rate) × Actual Hour

Therefore if actual hours is lesser than Standard hours it will become favorable and if actual hours is higher than standard hours it will become unfavorable. In the similar way if actual rate is higher than standard rate then it will become unfavorable on the other hand if actual rate is lesser than standard rate then it will become favorable.

Sarafiny Corporation is in the process of preparing its annual budget. The following beginning and ending inventory levels are planned for the year. Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory Finished goods (units) 27,000 77,000 Raw material (grams) 57,000 47,000 Each unit of finished goods requires 3 grams of raw material. The company plans to sell 740,000 units during the year. The number of units the company would have to manufacture during the year would be:

Answers

Answer:

790,000

Explanation:

Data provided

Budgeted sales = 740,000

Desired ending inventory = 77,000

Beginning inventory = 27,000

The computation of number of units is shown below:-

Number of units to be manufactured = Budgeted sales + Desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory

= 740,000 + 77,000 - 27,000

= 817,000 - 27,000

= 790,000

Therefore for computing the number of units manufactured we simply applied the above formula.

Grey Inc. has been purchasing a component, Z for $85 a unit. The company is currently operating at 75% of full capacity, and no significant increase in production is anticipated in the near future. The cost of manufacturing a unit of Z, determined by absorption costing method, is estimated as follows: Direct materials $30 Direct labor 15 Variable factory overhead 26 Fixed factory overhead 10 Total $81 Prepare a differential analysis report, dated March 12 of the current year, on the decision to make or buy Part Z.

Answers

Answer:

The difference between buying and making is $14 per unit. It is $14 cheaper to make the unit.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $85 a unit.

Variable cost per unit:

Direct materials $30

Direct labor 15

Variable factory overhead 26

Because there is unused capacity, the fixed costs won't increase. Fixed factory overhead should not be taken into account.

Total unitary variable cost= $71

The difference between buying and making is $14 per unit. It is $14 cheaper to make the unit.

Peggy sells pistachios and almonds at the farmer’s market. She currently prices pistachios at $7 per bag and almonds at $4 per bag. She observes that every hour, 4 people each buy one bag of pistachios and 2 people each buy one bag of almonds. Having surveyed them, she learns that 2 of the pistachio buyers would be willing to pay $2 for the bag of almonds while the other two would only be willing to pay $1. Both almond buyers would be willing pay $5 for the bag of pistachios. Suppose Peggy decides to sell a bundle containing one bag of pistachios and one bag of almonds in addition to selling them separately. What price should she charge for the bundle in order to maximize revenue?

Answers

Answer:

The price she should charge for the bundle in order to maximize profit is 9

Explanation:

Solution

The total pistachios sold = 7 * 2 =14

The total almonds sold is = 4*1 = 4

So,

The total of both pistachios and almonds = 14 + 4 + 18

Thus,

we solve for getting average of the two which is:

Getting the average of the two in the bundle = 18/2

=9

Therefore p =9

We know that Direct material price variance = AQ(AP-SP) = 1120

AQ = 1120/(AP-SP)

AQ = 1120/(1.80-1.00)

AQ = 1,400

SQ = 100 x 15 = 1500

Using this equation , DMV = DMPV + DMQV

DMQV = DMV-DMPV

DMQV = 480-1920

DMQV = 1440 F

Direct material quantity variance = SP(SQ-AQ) = 1440

SQ = 7200

A television manufacturer would like to reduce its inventory. To this end, you are asked by the operations manager to assess its inventory level. You have the following information on average inventories from last year's financial statement: Raw materials $1,500,000 Work-in-process $1,200,000 Finished goods $800,000 In addition, the cost of goods sold last year (50 weeks) was $20 million. What is its total inventory (measured as weeks of supply) Answer

Answers

Answer:

A.8.75 weeks

B.5.71

Explanation:

a.

Weeks of supply = average aggregate inventory value/weekly sales at cost

=(1,500,000 + 1,200,000 + 800,000)/(20,000,000/50)

=3,500,000/400,000

= 8.75 weeks

b.Inventory turnover = annual sales (at cost)/average aggregate inventory value

=20 million/3.5 million

= 5.71

Answer:

Weeks Of Supply = 27.82 weeks

Explanation:

Weeks of Supply tells us that on average how long an inventory will last based on current demand.

The formula to calculate it is given below

Weeks Of Supply = Average Aggregate Inventory Value/ Weekly Cost of Sales

Weeks Of Supply = Raw Materials + Work In Process + Finished Goods/ Weekly Cost of Sales

Weeks Of Supply =$1,500,000+ $1,200,000+ $800,000/$ 20,000,000/52

Weeks Of Supply = 10,700,000/384615.385= 27.82 weeks

If the weeks of supply is lower it is better.

Inventory Turnover= $ 20,000,000/10,700,000=1.87 turns

Answer:

What is the basis for the Director’s argument?

The director believes that this is a temporarily restricted contribution and therefore it should be classified as restricted and recognized in 2007 once it can be classified as unrestricted.

What is the basis for the accountant’s argument?

Unconditional gifts or donations must be recognized when they are made, and since the money was received in 2006, it should be recognized then.

Explanation:

I agree with the Director since this is a restricted donation, i.e. the donor established strict conditions for its use both in time and purpose. For it to be unconditional, the donor should have stated that the money could be used in the best way that the NPO considers and at any time. But instead it established that it must be used to provide scholarships to musicians during 2007.

Both a condition and a restriction exits:

the restriction refers to the time: 2007the condition refers to its use: scholarships for musicians

Which of the following statements is correct with respect to inventories? The FIFO method assumes that the costs of the earliest goods acquired are the last to be sold. It is generally good business management to sell the most recently acquired goods first "Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased." FIFO seldom coincides with the actual physical flow of inventory.

Answers

Answer:

Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased.

Explanation:

First in, first out inventory (FIFO) method values cost of goods sold using the purchase price of the "oldest" units in inventory. This means that the cost of the first units sold will be used to determine COGS.

On the other hand, last in, first out (LIFO) method uses the price of the most recently purchased units to determine the cost of goods sold.

Number of contracts required = 500,000,000/100,000

So,

= 500,000,000/100,000  = 5000

Therefore, the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery is 5000

The Essex Company found that an average of 10 days elapses between when customer payments are received and the deposited funds clear the customer's bank and become usable by the firm. Essex's annual sales are $240 million. (Assume 365 days per year when converting from annual data to daily data or vice versa.) What is the increase in Essex's average cash balance assuming that it can reduce the time required to process customer payments by 3 days through more efficient payment processing methods

Answers

Answer:

$1,972,602.74

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Increase in Essex’s Average Cash Balance = (Annual Sales ÷ Days Per Year) × Required Process Customer by Days

= (240,000,000 ÷ 365) × 3

= 657,534.25 × 3

= $1,972,602.74

According to the analysis, Increase in Essex’s average cash balance is $1,972,602.74

1.

Calculate the following profitability ratios for 2021: (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

The four main profitability ratios are:

gross profit margin = (revenue - COGS) / revenue = ($8,400,000 - $5,535,600) / $8,400,000 = 0.341 or 34.1%net profit margin = net profit / revenue = $332,500 / $8,400,000 = 0.03958 or 3.96%return on assets = net income / average total assets = $332,500 / [($3,700,000 + $3,300,000)/2] = $332,500 / $3,500,000 = 0.095 or 9.5%return on equity = net income / shareholders equity = $332,500 / $1,000,000 = 0.3325 or 33.25%

2.

Determine the amount of dividends paid to shareholders in 2021.

retained earnings 2021 - retained earnings 2020 = net income - dividends

$250,000 - $150,000 = $332,500 - dividends

$100,000 + dividends = $332,500

dividends = $332,500 - $100,000 = $232,500

The Berkel Corporation manufactures Widgets, Gizmos, and Turnbols from a joint process. June production is 5,000 widgets; 8,750 gizmos; and 10,000 turnbols. Respective per unit selling prices at splitoff are $75, $50, and $25. Joint costs up to the splitoff point are $187,500. If joint costs are allocated based upon the sales value at splitoff, what amount of joint costs will be allocated to the widgets

Answers

Answer:

Allocated join cost = $66,176.47  

Explanation:

The joint cost is allocated using sales. This is done by using the proportion of sales of the total which is attributed to the sales value of widget

Total sales value of the three products=

(75  × 5,000) + ($50×  8,750) + ( $25×  10,000)= 1,062,500

Joint cost = $187,500.

Joint costs allocated to Widget

=  (75  × 5,000)/1,062,500  ×  $187,500. =  66,176.47  

Allocated join cost =$66,176.47  

A perfectly competitive firm is a: Group of answer choices price taker, because it must accept the market equilibrium price. price participant, because it can coordinate its pricing decisions with other firms. price maker, because it has the freedom to set the selling price. price leader; it can change its price and other firms will adjust.

Answers

Answer:

A.  price taker, because it must accept the market equilibrium price.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive firm is an ideal firm in which different firms sell products that are homogeneous or similar in nature. They are price takers because the prices of goods are determined by changes in demand and supply, therefore they must accept the market equilibrium price. They do not attempt to fix the prices of commodities. The opposite of this type of firm is a monopoly where a firm has complete control of a market, having the ability to change prices as it wills.

An example can be found among businesses that sell similar kinds of products. It could be in the form of grocery stores that sell similar wares. When any of the sellers leave the market, it does not affect the other sellers as their prices are at equilibrium. Therefore, anyone can enter or exit this type of market.

Suppose you are considering the purchase of an apartment building that has 12 units that can be rented out at $1,050 per month. You have estimated operating expenses and expected vacancy and collection losses for the first year to be $35,700 and $30,240, respectively. You also have estimated that you will be able to generate an additional $3,840 in the first year from garage rentals on the property. If the expected purchase price of the property is $1,100,000 and you are planning on making a 10% down payment, calculate the debt yield ratio.

Answers

Answer:

The debit yield ratio is 9%

Explanation:

Rent = 12 units  × 12 months × $1,050 = $151,200

Net Operating Income = Rent- Operating expenses - Expected vacancy and collection losses + Garage rent

= $151,200 - $35,700 - $30,240 + $3,840

= $89,100

Debt amount = Price × (1 - Down payment)

= $1,100,000 × (1 - 0.1)

= $990,000

Debt yield ratio = [tex]\frac{Net Operating Income}{Debt}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{89,100}{990,000}[/tex]

= 9%
