Tina and Tom are co-workers at Acme Corporation.As night custodians,they work together cleaning the Acme office building at night when the building is empty.Tom regularly makes sexual advances toward Tina that distress her.However,Tina has never complained about Tom's conduct to her supervisor,Mary,who only works during the day.Which of the following statements is most accurate? A) Acme Corporation is strictly liable for Tom's harassment of Tina. B) Acme Corporation may defend that it did not know about Tom's harassment of Tina. C) Acme Corporation is not liable because Tom is not Tina's supervisor. D) Acme Corporation is not liable because Tina voluntarily accepted the job of a night custodian.
Answer:
B) Acme Corporation may defend that it did not know about Tom's harassment of Tina
Explanation:
In this scenario where the two co-workers clean the office at night when the building was empty, Tina has never complained about Tom's misconduct to her supervisor. Also the supervisor does not work nights with Tom and Tina, she works in the morning.
Acme Corporation will use this a defence if sexual harassment charges are filed. The supervisor was not told of the sexual harassment and neither was she on the same shift with the workers. So the employer was not aware of what was happening.
Since the act was only known to her co-worker Tom it will be a case between her and Tom and not her employer (Acme Corporation).
Assume Jones Manufacturing begins March with 20 units of inventory that cost $15 each. During March, the following purchases and goods sold were: March 15 Purchased 25 units at $18 30 Sold 30 units Using the FIFO inventory costing method and the perpetual system, what is the ending Merchandise Inventory on March 30?
Answer:
$270
Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory using the FIFO method is shown below:
But first we have to determine the ending inventory units which is shown below:
= Beginning units + purchased units - sale units
= 20 units + 25 units - 30 units
= 15 units
Now the ending inventory is
= 15 units × $18
= $270
Hence, the ending inventory is $270
Hudson Corp. operates several factories that manufacture medical equipment. The factories have a historical cost of $200 million. Near the end of the company’s fiscal year, a change in business climate related to a competitor’s innovative products indicated to Hudson’s management that the $170 million carrying amount of the assets of one of Hudson’s factories may not be recoverable. Management identified cash flows from this factory and estimated that the undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the factory would be $150 million. The fair value of the factory’s assets is reliably estimated to be $135 million. The change in business climate requires investigation of possible impairment. Which of the following amounts is the impairment loss?
A) $15 million.
B) $20 million.
C) $35 million.
D) $65 million.
Answer:
C) $35 million.
Explanation:
The computation of the impairment loss is shown below:
= Carrying amount of the assets - fair value of the factory assets
= $170 million - $135 million
= $35 million
Since the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset so the impairment loss is recorded and hence the same is to be considered.
Hence, the correct option is c.

Answer:
specific performance
Explanation:
Specific performance in relation to confidential information is commonly used as a prohibition relief Specific performance is the equivalent compensation in contract law, under which a party issues orders requiring a party to perform a specific action, which is the execution of the contract. It is usually available for sale under the Land Act, but is generally not available if the damage is an appropriate option. If the seller fails to sell or the property is handed over to the seller, the buyer receives a specific performance under the provisions of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. A similar right is available under the seller. The contract requires specific performance from the buyer.Company A has a patent with a book value of $500,000. At December 31, 2019, the fair value of the patent is determined to be $450,000. The expected future cash flows associated with the patent is $650,000. What amount of impairment should Company A record on this patent at 12/31/19?
Answer:
$50,000
Explanation:
A patent should be recorded at fair market value. When the book value of a patent is higher than its market value, then its book value should decrease. This decrease in the book value is called impairment.
In this case, the patent's book value is $500,000, but its market value is $450,000. The impairment loss = $500,000 - $450,000 = $50,000.

A company’s perpetual preferred stock has a par value of $65 per share and it pays a dividend rate of 6.25% per year. The preferred stock’s market value is $58.63 per share and the company’s tax rate is 31%. If the flotation costs for preferred stock are 6.5%, what is the company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing?
Answer:
Cost of preferred stock=7.41 %
Explanation:
A preferred stock entitles its investor to a fixed amount of dividend for the foreseeable future. The dividend payable by a preferred stock is similar to a perpetuity. Hence, the price of the stock would be the same as the present value of the dividend payable for the foreseeable future.
A preferred stock entitles its owner to a fixed amount of dividend. It is calculated as follows:
Cost of preferred stock = D/P(1-f) × 100
D- Preference dividend
P- stock price
F- flotation cost
Preference dividend = Coupon rate × Nominal value
DATA
Nominal value = $65
Stock price = $58.63
Dividend rate=6.25%
Flotation cost = 6.5%
Preference dividend = 6.25%× 65 = 4.063
Cost of preferred stock =(4.063 /58.63×(1-0.065) × 100 = 7.41 %
Cost of preferred stock=7.41 %

The market for plywood is characterized by the following demand and supply equations: QD = 800 – 10P and QS = 50P – 1,000, where P is the price per sheet of plywood and Q measures the quantity of plywood. What is the size of the deadweight loss if the government imposes a price ceiling of $25 per she
Answer:
$3,750
Explanation:
at $25 per sheet of plywood:
total demand = 800 - (10 x 25) = 800 - 250 = 550
total supply = (50 x 25) - 1,000 = 1,250 - 1,000 = 250
the equilibrium price is:
800 - 10P₁ = 50P₁ - 1,000
1,800 = 60P₁
P₁ = 1,800 / 60 = 30
the equilibrium quantity (Q₁) is:
Q₁ = 800 - (10 x 30) = 800 - 300 = 500
at 250 units, the price should be:
250 = 800 - 10P₂
10P₂ = 550
P₂ = $55
total deadweight loss = 0.5 x (P₂ - P₁) x (Q₂ - Q₁) = 0.5 x ($55 - $25) x (250 - 500) = 0.5 x $30 x -250 = -$3,750

PV Annuity Due PV Ordinary Annuity
8%, 4 periods 3.57710 3.31213
10%, 4 periods 3.48685 3.16986
a. $0 because the asset is amortized by Tower Company.
b. $284,968
c. $307,767
d. $300,000
Answer:
$307,767
Explanation:
We have to calculate the annuity value to estimate the value of the right to use and this is given as under:
Right to Use Value = Equal Annual Payments * (PV of Annuity due at 8%)
Here
Equivalent Annual Payment is $344,152
PV of Annuity due at 8% is 3.57710
By putting values, we have:
Right to Use Value = $344,152 * 3.57710 = $1,231,066
Now we will find amount of amortization expense recorded for first year:
Per year Amortization = $1,231,066 / 4 Years = $307,767

If the elasticity of demand for spring break packages to cancun is -5 , and if you notice that this year in cancun the quantity of packages demanded increased by 10% , then what happened to the price of cancun vacation packages ?
Answer: Price reduced by 2%
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand shows how the demand for a good will change as a result of a change in price. Demand will usually increase as a result of a decrease in price because people tend to demand more when goods are cheaper.
The formula is;
Price elasticity of demand = ΔQuantity demanded / Δ Price
-5 = 10% / P
-5P = 10%
ΔP = -2%
