In evaluating the profit center manager, the income from operations should be compared a.across profit centers b.to historical performance or budget c.to the competitor's net income d.to the total company earnings per share
Answer: to historical performance or budget
Explanation:
A profit center in a business is a division that is able to make revenues independently and contribute to the revenue of the entire business. In evaluating the performance of a profit center manager, it is best to compare the performance to a budget or their historical performance.
This is because profit centers engage in different businesses and so their revenue making style will be unique. Some profit centers will make more than others because of the goods they produce or the way they produce it. It is therefore best to compare a profit center to an internal measure such as the budget and historical performance.
If the profit center exceeds either of these then they are performing well.

A director who becomes involved in litigation because of his or her position has no right to be indemnified for the costs. a. True b. False
Answer:
b. False
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.
It is considered to be one of the most complicated and expensive type of organization.
Generally, a corporation is considered to be perpetual in nature and it is a body that comprises of a group of people such as directors, shareholders etc., who act as a single entity.
One of the advantage of a corporation is that, owners have limited liability for debt to the extent to which they have invested and as such are not personally liable for some of debt owed by corporation.
Hence, a director who becomes involved in litigation because of his or her position has a right to be indemnified or reimbursed for the costs involved or incurred.

Even if a stock split has no information content, and even if the dividend per share adjusted for the split is not increased, there can still be a real benefit (i.e., a higher value for shareholders) from such a split, but any such benefit is probably small. True False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Stock split is used to increase number of shares floating in the market. In this strategy current shares are increased by issuing more shares to current shareholders. This increases the number of shares which each shareholders holds while value of total shares remains the same.

Your grandparents would like to establish a trust fund that will pay you and your heirs $205,000 per year forever with the first payment 12 years from today. If the trust fund earns an annual return of 4 percent, how much must your grandparents deposit today?
Answer:
PV= $3,201,059.88
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual cash flow= $205,000
First payment= 12 years from today
Interest rate= 4%
First, we need to calculate the value of the account 12 years from today. We need to use the following formula:
FV= Cf/ i
FV= 205,000 / 0.04
FV= $5,125,000
Now, the amount to be deposited today:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 5,125,000 / (1.04^12)
PV= $3,201,059.88
Last month, the Tecumseh Corporation supplied 400 units of three-ring binders at $6 per unit. This month, the company supplied the same quantity of binders at $4 per unit. Based on this evidence, Tecumseh has experienced:_________.
a. a decrease in supply
b. an increase in supply
c. an increase in the quantity supplied
d. a decrease in the quantity supplied.
Answer:

During the 1990s, several airlines were on the brink of bankruptcy. These same airlines were giving away millions of dollars in free airline travel through their frequent-flyer programs. Do you think it would have been a good idea for these airlines to eliminate their frequent-flyer programs in order to earn higher profits?
Answer:
Assuming that the elimination of frequent-flyer programs would have enabled the airlines to earn higher profits and remain in business, then it would be a purely good idea for the airlines to eliminate their frequent-flyer programs.
The big question is, how much did the frequent-flyer programs cost the airlines? Would the cost-savings be sufficient to eliminate their bankruptcies? It is a known-fact that the airlines that create such programs always recover the program costs by charging higher fares.
Explanation:
The issue of airlines going bankruptcy does not seem to stem from customer-loyalty programs like the frequent-flyer programs. The root cause lies in operational and other costs that airline managements have not been able to control.

Eduardo is starting a floral shop and owns a 10-year-old delivery van. He borrows $50,000 from First National Bank, which takes a security interest in the van. When Eduardo purchases a greenhouse in which to grow plants and a large cooler to keep them fresh, the bank's security interest attaches to these items, which are referred to as a. fixtures. b. inventory. c. instruments. d. after-acquired property.
Answer: D. after-acquired property
Explanation:
Based on the question asked, the correct answer will be the after-acquired property.
After-acquired Property refers to the property that a debtor acquires after a security agreement has been executed. Since Eduardo already borrows $50,000 from First National Bank, which takes a security interest in the van, then the property gotten is the after acquired property.
Therefore, the correct option is D
ART Inc. has come out with a new and improved product. As a result, the firm projects an ROE of 25% a year until the end of year 3 and 15% a year afterwards, and it will maintain a plowback ratio of 20%. Its earnings in the coming year, i.e., E1, will be $3 per share. Investors expect a 12% rate of return on the stock. What would be its P0/E1 ratio?
Answer:
$11.43
Explanation:
In order to determine the price to earnings ratio, we need to know what the price (p0) would be
price can be determined using the constant growth dividend model
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
Sustainable growth rate is the rate of growth a company can afford in the long term
sustainable growth rate = plowback rate x ROE
0.25 x 0.2 = 0.05 = 5%
dividend = payout ratio x earnings
Payout ratio = 1 - retention rate
1 - 0.2 = 0.8
0.8 x 3 = $2.4
$2.4 / 0.12 - 0.05 = $34.29
P / E = $34.29 / $3 = $11.43
Chester Corp. ended the year carrying $18,711,000 worth of inventory. Had they sold their entire inventory at their current prices, how much more revenue would it have brought to Chester Corp.
Answer:
Chester Corp.
Had they sold their entire inventory at their current prices, the revenue that it would have brought to Chester Corp. is:
= $18,711,000.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Ending inventory at year-end = $18,711,000 at current prices
b) The current price represents the market value of each item of inventory being held by Chester Corp at the end of the year. It is the price at which an item will be sold in the open market. This implies that the revenue that would have been generated from the sale of the inventory will be equal to the carrying value of the ending inventory.

A bill was introduced into Congress last year suggesting changes to the income tax code. Congress now passed this new tax reform act in the last session and over the next few years the new laws will begin to impact the nation. This is an example of what type of policy
Answer:
Macroeconomic fiscal policy.
Explanation:
Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.
A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.
According to the Keynesian theory, government spending or expenditures should be increased and taxes should be lowered when faced with a recession, in order to create employment and boost the buying power of consumers.
Compton Company expects the following total sales: Month Sales March $ 37,000 April $ 27,000 May $ 21,000 June $ 32,000 The company expects 70% of its sales to be credit sales and 30% for cash. Credit sales are collected as follows: 25% in the month of sale, 75% in the month following the sale. The budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 is:
Answer:
$11,025
Explanation:
From May sales, Total Credit sales = $21,000*70% = $14,700
Cash Collected in May (for sales) = Total Credit sales * 25%
Cash Collected in May = $14,700*25%
Cash Collected in May = $3,675
Accounts Receivables Balance = Total Credit sales (May) - Cash Collected in May
Accounts Receivables Balance = $14,700 - $3,675
Accounts Receivables Balance = $11,025
So, the budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 is $11,025.
At a firm's quarterly dividend meeting held on December 5, the directors declared a $1.50 per share cash dividend to be paid to the holders of record on Monday, January 1. Before the dividend was declared, the firm's accumulated retained earnings balance and cash balance were $1,280,000 and $30,000 respectively. The firm has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding. On January 2, the cash, dividends payable, and retained earnings accounts had balances of ________.
Answer: $15,000, $0, and $1,265,000, respectively
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the total amount of dividend will be:
= Outstanding shares × Dividend
= 10000 × $1.50
= $15000
Amount of cash balance will be:
= Ending cash balance - Dividend
= $30000 - $15000
= $15000
Dividend payable will be:
= $15000 - $15000
= $0
Retained earnings will be:
= $1280000 - $15000
= $1265000

Two methods are used to predict how many customers will call in for help in the next four days. The first method predicts the number of callers to be 23, 5, 14, and 20 for the four respective days. The second method predicts 20, 13, 14, and 20 for the four respective days. The actual number of callers turns out to be 23, 10, 15, and 19. Which method has the bigger forecast bias?
a- the second methodb- both are equally biasedc- both are not biasedd- the first method
Answer:
The method that has the bigger forecast bias is:
the first method.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Days 1 2 3 4 Total
First method, number of callers predicted 23 5 14 20 62
Second method, number of callers predicted 20 13 14 20 67
Actual number of callers 23 10 15 19 67
Comparison with actual callers:
Actual number of callers 23 10 15 19 67
First method, number of callers predicted 23 5 14 20 62
Forecast bias 0 -5 -1 +1 -5
Comparison with actual callers:
Actual number of callers 23 10 15 19 67
Second method, number of callers predicted 20 13 14 20 67
Forecast bias -3 +3 -1 +1 0
b) A forecast bias between first method of prediction and actual number of callers occurs because there is a difference between the total actual number of callers and the total predicted forecasts of callers. But there is no difference between the total actual number of callers and the predicted forecasts of the callers for method two.
Predictions are termed as the forecasting of the uncertain event or the happening. These are also dependent on the probability of whether the event has to have occurred or have the ratio of changes to occur.
The correct answer for the method that has the bigger forecast bias is the first method.
