Answer:
No
Explanation:
No, because the gross domestic product is determined by encompassing the final product. If the total sales are used to determine the GDP then the false value of GDP will come up because the problem of double counting will arise. Many firms sell their goods to other firms which is intermediate goods for the other firms.
Chavez Corporation reported the following data for the month of July: Inventories: Beginning Ending Raw materials $46,000 $39,500 Work in process $25,500 $36,000 Finished goods $41,500 $56,500 Additional information: Raw materials purchases $75,500 Direct labor cost $100,500 Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $68,500 Indirect materials included in manufacturing overhead cost incurred $11,800 Manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process $67,500 Any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold. The cost of goods manufactured for July is:
Answer:
Cost of goods manufactured= $228,700
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 25,500 + (46,000 + 75,500 - 39,500) + 100,500 + (68,500 - 11,800) - 36,000
cost of goods manufactured= $228,700
We deduct the indirect material from overhead because it is already incorporated into direct materials.
Pina Colada Corp. does not ring up sales taxes separately on the cash register. Total receipts for February amounted to $Unresolved. If the sales tax rate is 6%, what amount must be remitted to the state for February's sales taxes
Answer:
b. $2,616
Explanation:
Missing word "Total receipts for February amounted to $46216. If the sales tax rate is 6%, what amount must be remitted to the state for February's sales taxes? O $2773 O "$2616 O $2608 O It cannot be determined.

Answer:
Break-even point in units= 5,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= $1,000,000
Fixed expenses= $300,000
Contribution margin per unit= $60
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= 5,000
If the efficient market hypothesis is true, price changes are independent and biased. Group of answer choices
Answer:
Price changes are independent but not biased in efficient market hypothesis.
Explanation:
In simple words, the efficient-market hypothesis asserts that asset prices represent all relevant knowledge. Because market rates must only respond to fresh knowledge it is difficult to continuously "beat the market" on something like a risk-adjusted approach.
Thus the given statement is partially true.

Given this explanation, the right answer to this question is option d, Comparing different business cases about the future with multiple variables changed
Part E14 is used by M Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 19,000 units of this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: Per Unit Direct materials $ 4.10 Direct labor $ 8.70 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 9.20 Supervisor's salary $ 4.60 Depreciation of special equipment $ 3.00 Allocated general overhead $ 8.20 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $29.50 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part E14 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $31,000 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part E14 from the outside supplier should be:
Answer: ($24100)
Explanation:
The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company goes thus:
The relevant cost to produce will be:
= ($4.10 × 19,000) + ($8.70 × 19,000) + ($9.20 × 19,000) + ($4.60 × 19,000) + $31,000
= $77900 + $165300 + $174800 + $87400 + $31000
= $536,400
The relevant costs to buy will be:
= 19,000 × $29.5
= $560,500
Since the relevant cost to buy is more than the relevant cost to produce, then the financial disadvantage will be:
= $560500 - $536,400
= $24,100
The answer is ($24,100)
Given the following information, calculate the funds from operation (FFO).
Net income: $1,200,000
Gain/losses from infrequent and unusual events: $0
Amortization of tenant improvements: $120,000
Amortization of leasing expenses: $75,000
Depreciation (real property): $2,675,000.
a. $195,000
b. $1,395,000
c. $2,870,000
d. $4,070,000
Answer:
Funds from Operations = 4070000
Explanation:
Use the below formula to find the fund from operations:
Funds from Operations = Net Income + Depreciation + Amortization - Gains on Sales of Property
Funds from Operations = 1200000 + 2675000 + 75000 + 120000
Funds from Operations = 4070000

Answer:
If the keyword an advertiser is bidding on is used in the ad and on the landing page, then the advertiser will receive a higher Quality Score for
ad relevance.
Explanation:
Ad relevance is a component that gives an advertiser higher quality score. It is an indication that the keyword is optimized to meet the customer's search query. It shows how closely the ad matches the customer's search because a correlation exists between the keyword, the ad, and the post-click landing page. It is paramount to achieve ad relevance in any pay-per-click advertising (PPC), otherwise called search engine marketing (SEM) or search advertising, to justify the ad costs.

Apple Computers Issued a 30-year $8,000,000 bond on January 1, 20xx with a 5% stated interest rated. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31st. What is the amount that Apple Computers would record as interest expense on June 30, 20xx (the first interest payment), assuming that no interest expense has been recorded since the bond was issued on January 1st?
Answer:
$200,000
Explanation:
Now, it is assumed here that the bonds are issued at par.
First interest payment = Face Value * Stated Interest Rate * Half yearly
First interest payment = $8,000,000 * 5% * 1/2
First interest payment = $200,000
So, the amount that Apple Computers would record as interest expense on June 30 is $200,000.

Stuart Software has 5.7 percent coupon bonds on the market with 11 years to maturity. The bonds make semiannual payments and currently sell for 93 percent of par. What is the current yield on the bonds
Answer:
current yield = 6.13%
Explanation:
Given:
The software has 5.7 percent coupon bonds
maturity=11 years
current sell=93 percent of par
The objective is to find the current yield on the bonds
Formula used:
Current yield = [tex]\frac{Annual Coupon payment}{current selling price}*100[/tex]
Solution:
Current selling price=93% of 1000=930
Annual coupon payment= 5.7% of 1000=57
Then,
On substituting the values in the formula,
Current yield = [tex]\frac{57}{930}[/tex]*100
On Simplifying,
Current yield =6.13%
Therefore,
Current yield =6.13%
