a. Impact of the change on multi-step income statement

The items of Gross Profit and Income from Operations will decline by $28,000.

b. Impact of the change on profitability ratios

The Profit ratios will decline. Profit margin will be 1.73 %. Gross Profit margin will be 50.49 %

Other Workings :

Profit margin = Net Income / Net Sales x 100

                     =  $63,500 / $2,050,000 x 100

                     =  3.10 %

Gross Profit rate = Gross Profit / Net Sales x 100

                           = $1,063,000 / $2,050,000 x 100

                           =51.85 %

Part. C.

Profitability has dropped by 2.10 percent from 5 percent to 3.10 percent in the year 2017. The basis for this drop is a point of anxiety that needs to be questioned.

You have decided to invest $15,000 in a money market fund that pays you interest at the annual rate of 6% and compounds interests monthly. Your plan is to take out your money in a year and pay taxes on the interest earned. If the corresponding tax rate is 20%, how much money in total will you expect to receive in a year after paying taxes.

Answers

Answer:

$15,869.66

Explanation:

The formula for determining the future value of the amount invested is :

FV = PV x (1 + r / m)^mn

FV = Future value  

PV = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

m = number of compounding

$15,000 x (1+ 0.06/12)^12 = $15,925.17

Interest earned = future value - present value

$15,925.17 - $15,000 = $925.17

Tax paid on interest earned = 0.06 x  $925.17 = $55.51

Interest after taxes = $925.17 - $55.51 = $869.66

Total amount expected = $15,000 + $869.66 = $15,869.66

Cash Out/Expense:

Cost of business trip = variable

State tax liability = fixed

Clothing purchases = variable

2. For example, your mortgage would be considered a fixed expense, because the total amount does not vary.  Conversely, grocery bills would be considered variable, because the actual amount is not fixed but varies.

Explanation:

Variable cost or expense has a fixed cost per unit, with the total amount varying, depending on the units or quantities consumed.  Fixed cost does have a fixed total amount within the relevant range, but the cost per unit varies.

1. Friedman distinguishes between the two concepts that (a) businesses really do act in ways to maximize profit and (b) businesses have a moral responsibility (or, as he puts it, a social responsibility) to act to maximize profit. How does he defend the latter position? (See both the Friedman and Sandbu readings)

Answers

Explanation:

Friedman defends the position that companies have a social responsibility to act to maximize profit, in the sense that, the primary function of companies is to generate profit. The author goes against the growing opinions in society that companies must have social responsibility, that is, they need to create a positive and sensitive corporate image to please political and society interests and counter or even soften the words and actions its central purpose, which is profit generation. For him, social responsibility cannot be politicized in order to be an obligation of companies, as it limits freedom and interests arising from the business.

Beth, an employer, wants to hire someone for a strenuous job that requires a great deal of training, which will take place over the course of several years. The applicant who appears most qualified is 58 years old; however, Beth is concerned that the applicant will not be able to handle the physical demands of the position in the long run. Further, she is concerned that the applicant will only continue working for several more years before she retires. Does Beth hire the applicant anyway

Answers

Answer:

Beth should not hire the applicant.

Explanation:

Based on common hiring practices, Beth should not hire the applicant. Mainly due to the applicant's age. It costs a company a large amount of money to properly train an employee in order to have them be as efficient as possible when working for the company. This is regardless of their current experience, therefore if a candidate is as old as this particular candidate and is already thinking of retiring then it will be a waste of company resources to hire the individual candidate. Instead, Beth should go for someone with the same experience/skills but will instead be with the company for the long term.

Kilt Company used a predetermined overhead rate of $41 per direct labor hour for the year and estimated that direct labor hours would total 6,100 hours. Assume the only inventory balance is an ending Work in Process balance of $17,700. How much overhead was applied during the year

Answers

Answer:

$205,000

Explanation:

The above is an incomplete question as we were not given actual direct labor hours. From a similar question, I picked 5,000 as the direct labor hours .

With regards to the above information, applied overhead is computed as;

Applied overhead = Overhead rate × Actual direct labor hour

Given that;

Overhead rate = $41

Actual direct labor hour = 5,000

Therefore,

Applied overhead = $41 × 5,000 = $205,000

Melissa is an unmarried person who earns a salary of $54,000 per year and has $500 of interest income. Her itemized deductions total $2,500. She is able to use a non-refundable credit of $400. She has $5,000 of federal income taxes withheld from her wages. What is the amount of Melissa's REFUND OR TAX DUE FOR 2020

Answers

Answer:

$6150

Explanation:

These are the details of Melissa's income

Salary = $54000

Interest income = 500

Itemized deductions = $ 2500

Non refundable credit = $400

Withheld federal income tax = $5000

We have to calculate the amount of her tax return for year 2020

Taxable income = 54000+500-2500

= $52500

Tax rate 22%

Tax on taxable income = 52500x0.22

= 11550

Minus non refundable credit = 11550-400

Minus federal tax withheld = 11550-400-5000

= $6150

Answers

Answer:

Option B, both input and output prices will increase

Explanation:

Since the demand far smart watches is increasing, the price of watches will escalate to cater the opportunity cost. With the rising demand for smart watch, the demand for specialized input will also increase. Considering the growth in demand for specialized input, its cost shall also escalate to take the benefit of opportunity. Along with raw material, variable costs such as transportation, manpower, electricity etc.  will also increase both in input (bringing raw material and producing final product) and output (export of the final product)

In nut shell, both the input and output price will increase.

Compute the expected task variance in weeks. Recall that Variance is a measure of dispersion - a measure that shows the distance or spread between or among values of a variable.

Expected Variance is the average of the variance values.

First,

the variance between optimistic CT and most likely CT is (14 - 11) = 3 weeks

Second,

the variance between pessimistic CT and most likely CT is (23 - 14) = 9 weeks

The expected variance is the average of these two values and that's (3 + 9)/2 = 12/2  = 6 weeks

So the expected variance from the mean completion time of 14 weeks is 6 weeks before or 6 weeks after. This accommodates both the optimist and the pessimist.

Lincoln Company purchased merchandise from Grandville Corp. on September 30, 2021. Payment was made in the form of a noninterest-bearing note requiring Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400 on each September 30, beginning on September 30, 2024. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.) Required: Calculate the amount at which Lincoln should record the note payable and corresponding purchases on September 30, 2021, assuming that an interest rate of 9% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.

Answers

Answer: $16,613

Explanation:

As the noninterest-bearing note required Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400, this is an annuity because it is a constant figure.

The amount that should be recorded is the present value of this amount.

Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -no. of periods) / rate

= 4,400 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9%)⁻⁶) / 9%

= $19,738

This present value is for September 30, 2023. It needs to be discounted further to September 30, 2021.

= 19,738 / (1 + 9%)²

= $16,613

3. You are considering investing in a startup company called Minions Technologies. After careful analysis, you determine that Minions will be able to generate $100,000 in cash flow at the end of each year for the first 5 years. Then, Minions will generate cash flow of $400,000 at the end of the 6th year, after which it will grow at 11% per year forever. Using a discount rate of 18%, what is the amount you would be willing to invest

Answers

Answer:

$2,810,467

Explanation:

we need to determine the enterprise value of Minions Technologies

first, the terminal value at year 5 = $400,000 / (18% - 11%) = $5,714,286

then we must find the present value of all future cash flows, including the terminal value

PV of 5 five cash flows = $100,000 x 3.127 (PV annuity factor, 18%, 5 periods) = $312,700

PV of terminal value = $5,714,286 / 1.18⁵ = $2,497,767

total enterprise value = $2,810,467

Parks Corporation is considering an investment proposal in which a working capital investment of $10,000 would be required. The investment would provide cash inflows of $2,000 per year for six years.

Answers

Answer:

$4,355.26  

Explanation:

The net present value is the present value of future cash flows expected from the project minus the initial investment outlay

initial investment outlay=working capital investment = -$10,000

Years 1-5 cash inflow=$2,000

Year 6 cash inflow=normal cash inflows+release of working capital

Year 6 cash inflow=$2,000+$10,000=$12,000

the present value of a future cash flow=cash flow/(1+r)^n

n is 1 for year cash inflow 2 for year 2 cash inflow, 3 for year 3 cash inflow and so on

NPV=-$10,000+$2,000/(1+10%)^1+$2,000/(1+10%)^2+$2,000/(1+10%)^3+$2,000/(1+10%)^4+$2,000/(1+10%)^5+$12,000/(1+10%)^6

NPV=$4,355.26

2019             100                    100

2020            105                     99

a) %change in nominal GDP = [(105 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 5%

%change in real GDP = [(99 - 100) / 100] * 100 = -1%

b) GDP deflator is = [Nominal GDP / Real GDP]. %change in GDP deflator = [(106.06 - 100) / 100] * 100 = 6.06%

c) Inflation calculated from GDP deflator and PCE is different because

- GDP deflator does not includes price increase of imported goods while PCE does.

- PCE measures change in price of goods which are generally consumed by consumers while GDP deflator includes all goods produced in an economy.

Joe wants to open a restaurant and feels his best chance of being successful would be to purchase the rights to a well-known restaurant concept. This form of restaurant ownership is known as which of the following?

Food service corporation

Food service franchise

Independent food service operation

Food service chain

Answers

Answer:

Food-service franchise

Explanation:

A food-service franchise is a business arrangement where an established and successful restaurant allows the opening of an independent branch under its brand name. The new branch will be similar to the other existing branches in terms of appearance, products and services, operations, and pricing.

For an entrepreneur to open a food service franchise, they need to purchase a license from the franchisor. The franchise license increases the chances of success as customers are already familiar with the brand.

A company purchased $10,700 of merchandise on June 15 with terms of 2/10, n/45, and FOB shipping point. The freight charge, $850, was added to the invoice amount. On June 20, it returned $1360 of that merchandise. On June 24, it paid the balance owed for the merchandise taking any discount it is entitled to. The cash paid on June 24 equals:______

a. $10,003.
b. $9,224.
c. $11,550.
d. $11,210.
e. $11,11Ο.

Answers

Answer:

a. $10,003.

Explanation:

The terms of 2/10, n/45 means that there is a 2% discount if the payment is made within 10 days of the sales date and rhe net credit period is 45 days.

Calculate total invoice value

Total Invoice value = Merchandise value + Freight Charges = $10,700 + $850 = $11,550

As the payment is made on June 24 within the discount period, the discount will be availed

Discount = ( Purchases made - Returns ) x 2% = ( $10,700 - $1,360 ) x 2% = $186.80 = $187

Now the Amount paid

Amount Paid = Invoice value - Return - Discount avaialed = $11,550 - $1360 - 187 = $10,003

Mohawk Machining, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,400 Units started and completed during the period: 6,500 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
A- 80%.
B- 70%.
C- 60%. - 40%.
D- some other percentage not listed above.

Answers

Answer:

C. 60%

Explanation:

Equivalent unit of Materials = 8,000.00      

Equivalent unit of Conversion = 7,400.00      

Units started and completed = 6,500.00

Since Materials are entered in the beginning it means that out of 8000 Units of Materials 6500 units are in Units started and completed and remaining 1500 Units are in Closing inventory. It also means that 1500 units are in Closing Inventory of Conversion and Equivalent production of conversion part of 1500 Units are 900 Units (7400-6500).

Let % Completion be x      

X% of 1500 = 900      

X = 900*100/1500      

X = 60%.

Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,350 per month interest, if they can get 7 % interest compounded monthly.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9 % and the term is twenty years.

Answers

Answer:

(a) The amount needed is $192,000.

(b) The monthly payment is $150.98.

Explanation:

Note: There are errors in this question. The correct question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.

This can be calculated using the following future value formula:

FV = P / i ........................... (1)

Where;

FV = Amount needed at maturity = ?

P = Monthly payment or amount to generate monthly = $1,200

i = monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 7.25% / 12 = 0.075 / 12 = 0.00625

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $1,200 / 0.00625 = $192,000

Therefore, the amount needed is $192,000.

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.

This can be calculated using the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)

Where,

FV = Future value = $192,000

M = Monthly payment = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = 9.75% / 12 = 0.0975 / 12 = 0.008125

n = number of months = 25 years * Number of months in a year = 25 * 12 = 300

Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for M, we have:

$192,000 = M * (((1 + 0.008125)^300 - 1) / 0.008125)

$192,000 = M * 1271.65920375075

M = $192,000 / 1271.65920375075

M = $150.98

Therefore, the monthly payment is $150.98.

Marcus was offered a job as a senior manager by Super Corp. The offer, which was made over the phone, was for a three-year contract for $120,000 salary per year. Marcus orally accepted, there was no writing. The state in which Marcus was offered the job requires that such contracts be in writing. Marcus quit his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and headed to the state where Super Corp was headquartered. When he arrived, the director at Super Corp who had originally offered him the job said that they were revoking and that there was no contract, as Marcus never signed an employment agreement. If Marcus sues Super Corp, what is the likely result

Answers

,Answer:

-Marcus is owed something by Super Corp because he relied reasonably and to his detriment on Super Corp's offer.

Explanation:

Employment contracts can be written, oral, or implied and each of these are binding to some extent.

In the given instance it is required that employment should be written in the state where Super Corp operates.

So Marcus will not be able to compel them to give him a job as the offer was made and accepted orally.

However the offer resulted in him quitting his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and heading to the state where Super Corp was headquartered.

He relied on the offer to his detriment of losing his current job, so Super Corp owes him for the damages incurred
