When Production decreases what is a very likely possibility? a hire new workers b expand production c purchase new equipment d downsizing
The correct answer is D. Downsizing
Explanation:
In businesses, the term "downsizing" is used to describe a reduction in the number of workers or the total labor force. This often means non-essential workers are fired or even complete departments are eliminated. Moreover, this is likely to occur if the business expenses are higher than its profits or if the production decreases because in both situations fewer workers are needed to eliminate unnecessary expenses. In this context, if production decreases it is likely downsizing occurs.
Onslow Co. purchases a used machine for $178,000 cash on January 2 and readies it for use the next day at a $2,840 cost. On January 3, it is installed on a required operating platform costing $1,160, and it is further readied for operations. The company predicts the machine will be used for six years and have a $14,000 salvage value. Depreciation is to be charged on a straight-line basis. On December 31, at the end of its fifth year in operations, it is disposed of.Required:Prepare journal entries to record the machine's disposal under each of the following separate assumptions: a. It is sold for $22,000 cash. b. It is sold for $88,000 cash. c. It is destroyed in a fire and the insurance company pays $32,500 cash to settle the loss claim.
Answer:
All the requirements are solved below
Explanation:

A stock had returns of 15.51 percent, 22.47 percent, −8.68 percent, and 9.43 percent over four of the past five years. The arithmetic average return over the five years was 12.71 percent. What was the stock return for the missing year?
Answer:
24.82%
Explanation:
Arithmetic average = sum of observations / number of observations
Let x = the stock return for year 5
12.71 % = (15.51% + 22.47% −8.68% + 9.43 + x) /5
Multiply both sides by 5
63.55% = (5.51% + 22.47% −8.68% + 9.43 + x)
63.55% = 38.73% + x
x = 63.55% - 38.73% = 24.82%
Disturbed Corp. needs to raise $57 million to fund a new project. The company will sell shares at a price of $23.70 in a general cash offer and the company's underwriters will charge a spread of 7.5 percent. The direct flotation costs associated with the issue are $725,000 and the indirect costs are $445,000. How many shares need to be sold?
Answer: 2653438 shares
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, the following can be deduced:
The share price will be:
= $23.70 × (1 - 7.5%)
= $23.70 × (1 - 0.075)
= $23.70 × 0.925
= $21.9225
The money that will be raised will be:
= 57,000,000 + 725,000 + 445,000
= $58,170,000
The number of shares that are needed to be sold will be:
= $58,170,000/$21.9225
= 2653438 shares

Green Inc. made no adjusting entry for accrued and unpaid employee wages of $38,000 on December 31. This error would Multiple Choice Understate assets by $38,000. Overstate net income by $38,000. Understate net income by $38,000. Have no effect on net income.
Answer:
The answer is B. Overstate net income by $38,000.
Explanation:
Accrued expense is an expense that has been enjoyed or incurred but has been paid for. Examples of an accrued expense are unpaid wages/salary, unpaid electricity bill etc.
Usually, the adjusting entry for accrued expense is to debit the expense and debit increases expense while credit decreases it. Since there is no adjusting entry, that means no expense is being recognized on the income statement for this transaction. Hence, the net income increases (overstated). because ordinarily expense reduces net income.
Costs that are capitalized because they are expected to have future value are called product costs; costs that are expensed are called period costs. This classification is important because it affects the amount of costs expensed in the income statement and the amount of costs assigned to inventory on the balance sheet. Product costs are commonly made up of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. Period costs include selling and administrative expenses.
A service company has which of the following costs
a. Direct Material
b. Overhead Costs
c. Product Costs
d. Expensed in the period incurred
Answer:
b. Overhead Costs
d. Expensed in the period incurred
Explanation:
-Direct material refers to the cost of the material used to manufacture a product.
-Overhead costs are the costs related to the operation of the business and they can't be assigned to a good or service.
-Product Costs are the costs to manufacture a product.
-Expensed in the period incurred are the period costs which are costs not related to the production of a good.
According to these definitions, a service company has the following costs: overhead costs and expensed in the period incurred because these are costs that are not related to the creation of a product.
On the other hand, the other options direct material and product costs are not right because these costs are directly related to products.
Use goal seek to answer this question. All else equals, to have a net income of 20,000, the COGS margin percentage must be ______, and the gross profit must be ______. Review Later
Answer:
Use goal seek to answer this question. All else equals, to have a net income of 20,000, the COGS margin percentage must be 40%, and the gross profit must be $17,250.
Explanation:
The income statement is missing, so I looked it up and the information given was:
Revenue 100,000 COGS 40,000 Gross Profit 60,000 Salaries Marketing Rent Earnings Before Tax 23,000Income Tax 25% Net Income ?Since COGS are$40,000 and total sales are $100,000, the COGS margin percentage = 40,000 / 100,000 = 40%
Since earnings before taxes are $23,000 and taxes are 25%, then net income = $23,000 x (1 - 25%) = $23,000 x 75% = $17,250

. A particular parcel of real estate (land) is sold for $20,000,000 and was originally purchased for $10,000,000. On a taxable sale, explain a circumstance (type of investor, intent, entity, etc.) that would pay the following U.S. federal income tax results on the $10,000,000 gain (exclude the 3.8% net investment income tax and any state taxes in the calculation):
Question Completion:
Choices: a. No tax liability on the sale b. $2,000,000 of tax c. $2,960,000 of tax d. $2,100,000 of tax
Answer:
b. $2,000,000 of tax for individuals
Explanation:
Long-term capital gains tax is a tax on profits from the sale of an asset which an investor has held for more than a year. The approved long-term capital gains tax rates are 0%, 15% or 20% depending on your taxable income bracket and whether you are filing as a single or jointly as married. But, an important point to note is that long-term capital gains tax rates are generally lower than short-term capital gains tax rates, thus encouraging investors to hold assets for a longer time. Short-term capital gains tax rates are the rates applicable to the normal individual income tax brackets.
15. Karla Salons leased equipment from Smith Co. on July 1, 2021, in a finance lease. The present value of the lease payments discounted at 10% was $81,100. Ten annual lease payments of $12,000 are due each year beginning July 1, 2021. Smith Co. had constructed the equipment recently for $66,000, and its retail fair value was $81,100. What amount of interest revenue from the lease should Smith Co. report in its December 31, 2021, income statement
Answer: $3,455
Explanation:
The interest received by Smith can be calculated as;
Interest Value = Present value of lease payment * interest rate
Present Value of interest rate
Ten annual lease payments of $12,000 are due each year beginning July 1, 2021.
That means first payment has been made already. Present value is;
= 81,100 - 12,000
= $69,100
Only half a year has gone by so this will need to be reflected;
Interest Value = Present value of lease payment * interest rate
= 69,100 * 10% * 6/12
= $3,455

A firm has a debt-to-equity of 0.69 and a market-to-book ratio of 3.0. What is the ratio of the book value of debt to the market value of equity?
Answer:
0.23
Explanation:
Debt to Equity Ratio = Total debt/ Total common equity
Market to book Ratio = Market price per share / Book value per share
Book debt to Market equity Ratio = Debt to Equity Ratio / Market to book Ratio
Book debt to Market equity Ratio = 0.69 / 3
Book debt to Market equity Ratio = 0.23
Therefore, the ratio is 0.23
Domingo Corporation uses the weighted...
Domingo Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. This month, the beginning inventory in the first processing department consisted of 2,300 units. The costs and percentage completion of these units in beginning inventory were:
Cost Percent Complete
Materials costs $7,400 50%
Conversion costs $3,600 20%
A total of 8,700 units were started and 8,000 units were transferred to the second processing department during the month. The following costs were incurred in the first processing department during the month:
Cost
Materials costs $160,600
Conversion costs $122,300
The ending inventory was 85% complete with respect to materials and 75% complete with respect to conversion costs. How many units are in ending work in process inventory in the first processing department at the end of the month?
a. 700.
b. 1,700.
c. 6.400.
d. 2,700.
Answer:
3,000 units
Explanation:
Calculation for How many units are in ending work in process inventory
Using this formula
Ending work in process units =Beginning work in process units + Units started into production - Transferred to the second processing department units
Let plug in the formula
Ending work in process units= 2,300 units + 8,700 units - 8,000 units
Ending work in process units= 3,000 units
Therefore 3,000 units are in the ending work in process inventory in the first processing department at the end of the month.

Net sales$688,500 $450,000 Cost of goods sold 337,364 133,200 Determine the 2016 and 2017 trend percents for net sales using 2016 as the base year.
Answer:
Trend- % change in sales = 34.64%
Explanation:
Trend analysis entails determining the performance of a business over time by comparing its performance data from one period to another. The aim of trend analysis is to identify the behavior of a set of ratios over a period of time by comparing them across different years.
To determine the trend for a particular data, we use the formula below
% Change in variable =
(Current year figure - Previous year figure)/Previous year figure × 100
DATA
Current year figure for sales (2017) - 450,000
Previous year figure for sale (2016) - 688,500
% change in sales = (450,000 -688,500)/688,500 × 100 = 34.64%
% change in sales = 34.64%
This implies that the company made sales in 2017 which is 34.64% less than that made in 2016

Beta is Question 10 options: a) A measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the market b) Relates the risk-return trade-offs of individual assets to the market returns c) The computed cost of capital determined by multiplying the cost of each item in the optimal capital structure by its weighted presentation in the overall capital structure and summing up the results d) The cost of the last dollar of funds raised
Answer: a) A measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the market
Explanation:
Beta is indeed a measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the return on the market as a whole.
It is used in the Capital Asset Pricing Model which enables for the calculation of the stock's expected return.
Market Beta is always 1. Therefore betas measure shows how much more or less volatile than the market return, the stock return is. For instance, a beta of 2 means that the stock's returns are twice as volatile as the markets and a beta of 0.5 means the returns are only half as volatile as the market.
Jackson Industries uses a standard cost system in which direct materials inventory is carried at standard cost. Jackson has established the following standards for one unit of product: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct materials 6 pounds $4.30 per pound $25.80 Direct labor 2.40 hours $5.00 per hour $12.00 During May, Jackson purchased 145,600 pounds of direct material at a total cost of $655,200. The total factory wages for May were $258,800, 90 percent of which were for direct labor. Jackson manufactured 21,000 units of product during May using 122,800 pounds of direct material and 50,900 direct labor-hours. The price variance for the direct material acquired by Jackson Industries during May is:
Answer:
Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard: Direct materials 6 pounds $4.30 per pound $25.80
Actual= Jackson purchased 145,600 pounds of direct material at a total cost of $655,200.
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= 655,200/145,600= $4.5
Direct material price variance= (4.3 - 4.5)*145,600
Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable
