For which of the following random variables would the use of a Normal distribution as a model be a clear error?
a) The number of houses that an individual owns
b) The number of minutes that a battery lasts in a cell phone
c) Student test scores on an exam
d) The daily percentage change on a stock

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The number of houses that an individual owns

Explanation:

The use of normal distribution in option A would produce an error. That is the number of houses individuals own.

We know that people can own 1 house or more than 1 house or no house at all. But a person can never be said to have less than 0 houses.

Option a is going to be skewed positively. Using Normal distribution would give us an error.

Jeff is a member of Go Big Red, LLC. Jeff decides he does not like the color red, preferring instead the colors black and gold. Jeff leaves the LLC for that reason. Upon dissociation all of the following apply to Jeff except:________.
a. duty of loyalty immediately ceases in all regards.
b. loses the right to manage the LLC.
c. right to have his interests to be bought out.
d. duty of care immediately ceases in all regards.

Answers

Answer:

Option "D" is correct.

Explanation:

Option "D" is correct because When a person or member dissociates then the person loses the right to manage, losses the right to act, ceases from their duty of loyalty, ceases from the duty of care immediately if any event occurs after dissociation and the member has the right to find their interest. Therefore, from the given options it can be seen that the duty of care remains intact when only to that event that had occurred before the dissociation.

Irwin Company has budgeted direct labor hours for the coming three months as follows: July, 6,500 hours; August, 8,100 hours; and September, 8,300 hours. Manufacturing overhead is budgeted at $13,300 per month plus $3.30 per direct labor hour. What is the budgeted manufacturing overhead for August

Answers

Answer:

the  budgeted manufacturing overhead for August is $40,030

Monroe Minerals Company purchased a copper mine for $122,000,000. The mine was expected to produce 50,000 tons of copper over its useful life. During Year 1, the company extracted 6,400 tons of copper. The copper was sold for $4,900 per ton. Assume that the company incurred $8,540,000 in operating expenses during Year 1. Based on this information, how much net income would Monroe report in Year 1?​

Answers

Answer:

Your answer is given below:

Explanation:

Depletion cost per ton

= 122,000,000/50,000 tons = 2,440 per ton

Cost of copper sold = 6,400 tons*2,440 = 15,616,000

Sales = 6,400 tons*4,900 = 31,360,000

Net income = Sales - Cost of copper sold - Operating expenses

= 31,360,000 - 15,616,000 - 8,540,000

= $7,204,000

Case Study
Imagine working in an organization where employee morale is low, turnover is high, and the costs of hiring are astronomical. If that were the case, you'd imagine the employer would go to great lengths to find, attract, and retain quality employees. Couple this goal with the reality of the economic picture -you simply cannot afford to provide expensive benefits for employees who may leave you for a different employer offering an extra $1,000 in salary or benefits. Knowing that 41 percent of all employees have no loyalty to their employers and will move on if a better offer comes adds to the dilemma. These issues clearly are a concern for organizations like Genentech or Zappos. But they don't fret over them. That's because they have found that treating employees with respect, and giving them such things as bonuses, rewards for longevity, onsite child care, lunches, and sending employees home with prepared dinners really works. Genentech is a California company that "develops and produces drugs that cure diseases," according to the company website. The company celebrated its thirteenth year on Fortune's "Best Places to work" list in 2011, also receiving "Best Places to Work" honors from Working Mother, LGBT Equality, and Computerworld. The reasons for this recognition are the important work that they do and the strong company culture that values equality and communication. Any discussion of how great it is to work at Genentech always circles back to the benefits that show a real respect for employees. In addition to traditional benefits like retirement and healthcare, they provide family friendly perks such as unlimited sick leave, personal concierge service, flexible work scheduling, childcare, nursing mother's rooms, onsite nurses, adoption assistance, and company sponsored family events. The list of innovative benefits goes on to include unusual benefits like pet insurance, free snacks, and paid six-week sabbaticals every six years! Zappos, the online shoe retailer, offers perks that match their fun-loving culture like pajama parties, nap rooms, regular happy hours, and a full-time life coach. Have these benefits worked for Genentech and Zappos? Ifyou translate longevity to morale and loyalty, you'd say they have. Both boast low turnover rates and high employee ratings for workplace satisfaction.
Q1) Describe the importance of employee benefits as a strategic component of fulfilling the goals of HRM at Genentech and Zappos?
Q2) Explain how Genentech and Zappos use employee benefits as a motivating tool?
Q3) Do you believe the incentive benefits such as those offered at Genentech and Zappos can be used in other organizations? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

1) Through employee benefits, the goals of HRM are achieved in effective ways.

2) Genentech also Zappos, try to make it a fun place to go to work at. Genentech and Zappos offer many benefits to employees that would attract and keep employees within the organization.

3) From a knowledgeable view, I actually believe that the motivation benefits as presented by the Genentech and Zappos Corporations can't be employed by other major or maybe small corporations.

Explanation:

1) The importance of employee benefits as a strategic component fulfilling the goals of HRM at Zippos and Genentech is that it can boost low turnover rates and high employee ratings for fulfillment. With placing benefits, employees will have the sensation of being more of an asset to the corporate instead of just being a worker. Thereupon employees would dedicate and put far more effort and time for better for the corporate which might then increase and generate more productivity and profit. When employees desire they need to be benefited from the organization successively they might become loyal to the organization and can stay rather than likely move to a different organization. Employees will tend to be more motivated to figure. Through employee benefits, the goals of HRM are achieved in effective ways.

2) Genentech also Zappos, struggle to form a fun place to travel to figure at. Genentech and Zappos offer many benefits to employees that might attract and keep employees within the organization. The good thing about benefits it can provide meaning and value to employees which will increase the worker's enthusiasm and morale within the work environment. With this, employees will then become more motivated to extend performance and feel secure within the organization which may cause low turnover rates and highly satisfied employees.

3) From a knowledgeable view, I actually believe that the motivation benefits as presented by the Genentech and Zappos Corporations can't be employed by other major or maybe small corporations. The motivation benefits offered at Genentech and Zappos Corporations are unique to their companies. I think that if other Corporations attempt to mirror the efforts of both Genentech and Zappos that their businesses would simply cease to exist. Companies today just don’t have the sustainability to take care of these lofty incentive packages for a three-year, five years, or even ten-year plan. Most companies simply don’t have the financial capital that the efforts of the Genentech and Zappos Corporations.

Cash dividends of $50,000 were declared during the year. Cash dividends payable were $10,000 and $20,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively. The amount of cash for the payment of dividends during the year is Group of answer choices $40,000 $50,000 $70,000 $60,000

Answers

Answer:

$40,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of cash for the payment of dividends during the year is shown below:

= Beginning dividends payable + Cash dividends Declared - Ending dividends payable

= $10,000 + $50,000 - $20,000

= $40,000

Hence, the amount of cash for the payment of dividends during the year is $40,000

A restaurant is considering buying a new coffee making machine, which will be replaced over and over with a new one when an old one dies. Each coffee making machine costs $143,000, and is expected to die after exactly 6-years. Each machine will costs $10,200 per year to operate. The discount rate that the restaurant assigns to this coffee making machine project is 11 percent per year. The straight-line depreciation method would be used when calculating the machine's loss of value for tax purposes. Each coffee making machine will be fully depreciated all the way to zero at the end of its life. Also, each coffee making machine will have a before-tax salvage value of $10,500 at the end of its life. The restaurant's tax rate is 25 percent. As always, assume that all cash flows occur at year end. If the restaurant buys a coffee making machine over and over in perpetuity, as soon as one dies, what would be the average, or the equivalent, annual cost (EAC) of the machine?

Answers

Answer:

Coffee Making Restaurant

If the restaurant buys a coffee making machine in perpetuity, the equivalent annual cost (EAC) of the machine will be:

Equivalent annual cost of the machine = $44,994

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Initial investment cost of machine = $143,000

Expected useful life = 6 years

Discount rate = 11%

Annual operating cost = $10,200

Before-tax salvage value = $10,500

Applicable tax rate = 25%

After-tax salvage value = $7,875

Annuity factor for 6 years at 11% = 4.231

Present value of costs:

Initial investment =          $143,000 ($143,000 * 1)

Annual operating cost =      43,156 ($10,200 * 4.231)

Salvage value =                     (4,213) ($7,875 * 0.535)

Total costs =                    $190,369

Equivalent annual cost of the machine = $44,994 ($190,369/4.231)

While digital marketing has generated exciting opportunities for companies to interact with their customers, digital media are also more consumer-driven than traditional media. Internet users are creating and reading consumer-generated content as never before and having a profound effect on marketing in the process. Two factors have sparked the rise of consumer-generated information. The first is the increased tendency of consumers to publish their own thoughts, opinions, and reviews. The second is product discussions through blogs or digital media and consumers' tendencies to trust other consumers over corporations. Consumers often rely on the recommendations of family, friends, and fellow consumers when making purchasing decisions. Marketers who know where online users are likely to express their thoughts and opinions can use these forums to interact with consumers, address problems, and promote their companies. Types of digital media in which Internet users are likely to participate include blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, podcasts, social networking sites, virtual reality sites, and mobile applications.

What would cause an economy to be producing at a point inside its production possibilities curve?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: the lack of effectivization in the use of their resources inside the economy to obtain the best outcomes possibles.

Explanation:

To begin with, in the economic theory the term known as production possibilities curve refers to a strategic tool, a graphic that can be used by the professionals of the area in order to understand how the economy is working with its resources, if the economy is producing well enough then the economy should be getting great development results and the point inside the graphic should be in the limit of the curve, but if the point is in the inside of the curve then that means that the resources inside that particulary economy are not being fully use to their best in order to obtain the best outcome so that will explain that there is still possibility to expand the production according to the theory of the tool itself.

A. When the selling price and cost per unit are expected to increase at the same rate, forgetting to take inflation into account in a capital budgeting analysis will typically cause the estimated NPV to be lower than the true NPV.
B. When the selling price and cost per unit are expected to increase at the same rate, you do not need to take inflation into account when performing a capital budgeting analysis.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1

The calculation of the Expected selling price in the fourth year is  

Expected Selling Price in year 1 $15,250

Expected Annual Growth rate  is 3%

So,

Expected Selling Price in year 4 = 15250  × (1+3%)^3

= $16,664

2

The Calculation of Expected Cost per unit in the fourth year is  

Expected Selling Price in year 1 =  $6,700

Expected Annual Growth rate   =  3%

So,  

Expected Selling Price in year 4 = 6700  × (1+3%)^3

= $7,321

3

Inflation’s effect on net present value (NPV):

In the case when the selling price and the cost per unit rises at the similar rate so it is forgot to considered the inflation this will result in NPV that should be lower than the true NPV

Mcdormand inc reported a 3400 unfavorable price variance for variable overhead and a $34,000 nfavorable price variance for fixed overhead. The flexible budget had variable overhead based on 36,100 direct labor-hours; only 34,100 hours were worked. Total actual overhead was $1,810,400. The number of estimated hours for computing the fixed overhead application rate totaled 37,500 hours.

Required:
a. Prepare a variable overhead analysis.
b. Prepare a fixed overhead analysis.

Answers

Answer:

A. Variable overhead price variance 3400 U

Variable overhead efficiency variance 60000 F

Variable overhead cost variance 56600 F

B. Fixed overhead price variance 34000 U

Production volume variance 28000 U

Fixed overhead cost variance 62000 U

Explanation:

a. Preparation of a variable overhead analysis.

Variable overhead price variance = 3400 U

Calculation for Variable overhead efficiency variance

First step is to calculate the Actual input at standard rate

Actual input at standard rate = (34100*30)

Actual input at standard rate= 1023000

Second step is to calculate the Standard rate

Standard rate = 1083000/36100

Standard rate=30

Now let calculate Variable overhead efficiency variance

Variable overhead efficiency variance = (1083000-1023000)

Variable overhead efficiency variance = 60000 F

Calculation for Variable overhead cost variance

Variable overhead cost variance = (60000-3400)

Variable overhead cost variance= 56600 F

Therefore the variable overhead analysis will be:

Variable overhead price variance 3400 U

Variable overhead efficiency variance 60000 F

Variable overhead cost variance 56600 F

b. Preparation of a fixed overhead analysis.

Fixed overhead price variance = 34000 U

Calculation for Production volume variances

First step is to calculate Actual input at standard rate

Actual input at standard rate= 34100*30

Actual input at standard rate= 1023000

Second step is to calculate Fixed overhead actual

Fixed overhead actual= 1810400-(1023000+3400)

Fixed overhead actual= 784000

Third step is to calculate Budgeted fixed overhead

Budgeted fixed overhead = (784000-34000)

Budgeted fixed overhead = 750000

Fourth step is to calculate Fixed overhead applied

Fixed overhead applied= (750000/37500)*36100

Fixed overhead applied= 722000

Now let calculate Production volume variance

Production volume variance = (750000-722000) Production volume variance= 28000 U

Calculation to determine Fixed overhead cost variance

Fixed overhead cost variance = (28000+34000) Fixed overhead cost variance= 62000 U

Therefore fixed overhead analysis will be:

Fixed overhead price variance 34000 U

Production volume variance 28000 U

Fixed overhead cost variance 62000 U

Answers

Answer:

1. Price ceilings are governmental price that are set below the market equilibrium price.

2. This kind of policy typically creates a shortage because the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied.

3. Price floors are governmental price that are imposed above the market equilibrium price.

4. This kind of policy usually generates a surplus in the market because the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded.

5. Shortages and surpluses are reflected in inventories. Inventory is the raw material which is processed to goods or the stocks of finished goods that are ready to be sold.

Explanation:

Price ceilings, as a part of the price control mechanisms, seem to benefit the consumers, while price floors are attempts to support suppliers and producers.  While they roll back the excesses of market forces in determining the prices of goods and services, some unintended consequences, including allocative inefficiencies, usually arise from price ceilings and price floors.  Therefore, they should be applied sparingly.

Answers

Answer:

$12,000

Explanation:

Given the above information, the ending balance in inventory account is computed as seen below

= Merchandise purchased - merchandise withdrawn - Merchandise returned to suppliers + Cash discount taken

= $500,000 - $418,000 - $80,000 + $10,000

= $12,000

Therefore, the balance on the inventory account as at December 31 is $12,000

Payment of an above-market wage reduces shirking by employees and reduces worker turnover because it multiple choice 2 decreases worker productivity. raises the opportunity cost of losing a job. lowers the opportunity cost of losing a job. creates more supervisory positions.

Answers

Answer:

raises the opportunity cost of losing a job.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.

Simply stated, it is the cost of not enjoying the benefits, profits or value associated with the alternative forgone or best alternative choice available.

For example, when a business firm makes payment of an above-market wage, it reduces shirking (avoiding responsibilities) by employees and reduces worker turnover because it raises the opportunity cost of losing a job. Thus, employees take their jobs seriously and do not miss work unnecessarily due to the payment of an above-market wage.

Married taxpayers Otto and Ruth are both self-employed and file a joint return. Otto earns $435,200 of self-employment income and Ruth has a self-employment loss of $23,100. How much 0.9 percent Medicare tax for high-income taxpayers will Otto and Ruth have to pay with their 2020 income tax return?

Answers

Answer: $1,458.90

Explanation:

As they are filing together, the first step would be to find out the taxable income after accounting for Ruth's loss.

Total taxable income = Otto's earnings - Ruth's loss

= 435,200 - 23,100

= $412,100

There is an additional 0.9% Medicare tax on the amount that people file that is above $250,000 when they file jointly and are married..

The additional Medicare will be:

= (412,100 - 250,000) * 0.9%

= $1,458.90

If a firm is privately owned, and its stock is not traded in public markets, then we cannot measure its beta for use in the CAPM model, we cannot observe its stock price for use in the dividend growth model, and we don't know what the risk premium is for use in the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium method. All this makes it especially difficult to estimate the cost of equity for a private company. True False

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation:

Beta enables us to be able to calculate the risk of a stock in relation to how the market is moving. This is known as the systematic risk. Beta, needs to be calculated on based on the trading data of the stock.

If the stock is not publicly traded, it would not have the trading data required to find the beta. As we cannot get the beta, we would be unable it to calculate the return on stock and therefore the dividend growth model.

When and why were coins used as money?

People traded products and services before money was created. The Mesopotamian people did not invent the shekel, which is regarded as the first known form of money, until roughly 5,000 years ago. Printed coins were used to pay troops, it was approximately 650–600 B.C. when gold and silver coins first appeared. The first real coins were struck in the prehistoric kingdoms of Lydia and Ionia and were made of electrum, a mineral composed primarily of gold and at least 20 percent silver.

The Lydians started minting gold coins in the period between 560 and 546 BC after learning how to separate the gold from the silver in electrum. Coins are significant historical primary sources. They communicate king names together with their titles, images, locations, dates, dynasties, accomplishments, and logos.
