Market researchers have determined nine categories of lifestyles for computer users. One of the categories is described as "Mouse Potatoes," who like the Internet for entertainment and can't wait to buy the latest in "techno-entertainment." In terms of the diffusion process, how would "Mouse Potatoes" be classified?
Answer: Innovators.
Explanation:
The Diffusion Process defines how new products are able to spread across a market.
It does this by using the Adoption Process to determine the various groups in the market and how fast the product gets to those groups. There are 5 groups in total.
- Innovators
- Early Adopters
- Early Majority
- Late Majority
- Laggards.
In the above scenario, the Mouse Potatoes would be the Innovators. These are the first buyers of a product and as such their opinions are very important as they then tell others how useful the product is. Mouse Potatoes regularly browse the net looking for the latest in "techno-entertainment", so they can buy or use it first thus making them Innovators.

You can repair your furnace for $500 and it will last 5 more years, but your heating bills will cost you about $1500 per year. Alternatively, a new furnace can be installed for $3000 that will reduce your annual heating bill to $1200. Suppose you sell the house in 5 years and receive an additional $1000 in the sales price of your home (salvage value) because of having a fairly new furnace. Should you replace it? Use a 5-year analysis period and a MARR of 5%
Answer:
By present value old furnace should not be replaced, since the new furnace costs more.
Explanation:
Solution
For the old furnace
Present value = - 500 - 1500 = (1 +i)^n-1/i (1+i)n
= - 500-1500 * 1.05^⁵/0.05 * 1.05^⁵
= -$6994.215
Now,
For the new furnace
The present value = - 3000 - 1200 * 1.05^⁵ - 1/0.05 * 1.05^⁵ + 1000/ (1.05)⁵
= -$7411.845
Therefore, As the new furnace costs more by present value old furnace should not be replaced

The CFO’s objective is to make certain that the capital consumed in farming is renewed and that the farm remains efficient, utilizing the best technology and equipment appropriate for its competitive situation. How would you expect the CFO to calculate depreciation expense?
Explanation:
Since the CFO wants the company to be competitive in the Industry he has to upgrade the machines and equipment in time when a new technology hits the market. which makes the company to increase the depreciation expense and write of the asset as early as possible.
The members of the farm is sharing the profits and assumes no other way of remuneration or incentive, Hence there will not be any opposition in charging higher depreciation.
So it is suitable for the company to claim depreciation on Straight Line method or Double Decline method which will amortize the capital expense early.

Carlinville Car Parts, Inc. has been provided by its lenders and owners with $46,000,000 to purchase assets. The most recent income statement showed Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT, or Operating Income) of $10,500,000, and net income of $3,950,000. Income tax was paid at a 25% average annual rate. What was Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) for the year?
Answer:
17%
Explanation:
The formula to calculate ROIC is:
ROIC= Net operating profit after tax/ Total invested capital
ROIC= EBIT*(1-Tax rate)/Total invested capital
ROIC= 10,500,000*(1-0.25)/46,000,000
ROIC= 7,875,000/46,000,000
ROIC= 0.17 → 17%
According to this, the answer is that the Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) for the year is 17%.

i. Discuss the rationale of organizing an industrial strike in resolving employee dispute with the
state, focusing on the detrimental effects strikes has on various stakeholders in an economy.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
Strike action, is a work stoppage, that is caused by mass refusal of employees to work and it usually takes place in response to the employee grievances.
Some of the reasons for strike include:
• Low wages: Employees engage in strik as a way to show their grievances to their employers that they're not well paid and want a pay rise.
• Poor communication with the organisation: Another reason for strikes is the lack of trust between employers and the trade unions. In cases whereby workers believe their employers aren't transparent with them, strike can take place.
• Employee debt: When employees are owed certain amount of money and the employer is not doing anything reasonable about paying, the workers may strike.
• Working conditions: Workers can engage in strike in order to seek for improvement in their working conditions. This may be probably because they need better equipments, medical facilities etc.
The detrimental effects that strikes has on various stakeholders in an economy are:
Effects on employers: Strike affects business and it is vital for employers to know their rights and keep up to date with the current labour laws and legislation. Strike leads to loss of revenue for the owner and if the strike continues.for a long time, it can badly affect the business.
Effects on employees: Striking employees who belong to a union are under the obligation to strike when the union wants. They can be at risk of losing their wages and benefits such as sick and holiday pay, medical aid insurance if the strike drags continues for an extended period of time.
Effect on the economy: The impact of strike will be felt by the economy in the immediate and long term future. Strike can harm a country’s investment and reputation internationally. The GDP growth will also be affected and consequences of higher wages in some sectors would lead to higher inflation.
argaryen Corporation has a target capital structure of 70 percent common stock, 5 percent preferred stock, and 25 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 10 percent, the cost of preferred stock is 5 percent, and the pretax cost of debt is 6 percent. The relevant tax rate is 23 percent.a. What is the company’s WACC?
Answer:
WACC = 8.41%
Explanation:
The weighted Average cost of Capital is the average cost of capital for the different sources of long-term capital available to a firm weighted according to the proportion each source of finance bears to the total capital in the pool..
After-tax cost of debt = (1- tax rate) × before tax cost of debt
= (1-0.23)× 6% = 4.6%
Type Cost (%) Weight cost × weight
Equity 10 70 7
Preferred stock 5 5 0.25
Debt 4.6% 25 1.155
Total 100 8.405
WACC = 8.405 / 100 × 100 = 8.41%
WACC = 8.41%

The selling price of the company’s product is $50 per unit. Required:1. Assume that the company uses absorption costing:a. Compute the unit product cost.b. Prepare an income statement for the year.2. Assume that the company uses variable costing:a. Compute the unit product cost.b. Prepare an income statement for the year.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $6
Direct labor $9
Variable manufacturing overhead $3
Variable selling and administrative $4
Fixed costs per year:
Fixed manufacturing overhead$300,000
Fixed selling and administrative $190,000
During the year, the company produced 25,000 units and sold 20,000 units.
The selling price of the company’s product is $50 per unit.
The difference between the absorption costing and variable costing methods is that the first one includes the fixed manufacturing overhead to the product cost.
1) Absorption costing:
Unitary fixed overhead= 300,000/25,000= $12 per unit
Unitary product cost= 6 + 9 + 3 + 12= $30
Income statement:
Sales= 20,000*50= 1,000,000
COGS= (20,000*30)= (600,000)
Gross profit= 400,000
Total selling and administrative= (190,000 + 20,000*4)= (270,000)
Net income= 130,000
2) Variable costing method:
Unitary variable cost= 6 + 9 + 3= $18
Income statement:
Sales= 1,000,000
Variable cost= (20,000*22)= (440,000)
Contribution margin= 560,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead= (300,000)
Fixed selling and administrative= (190,000)
net income= 70,000
In 2020, Sheffield Corp., issued for $102 per share, 97000 shares of $100 par value convertible preferred stock. One share of preferred stock can be converted into three shares of Sheffield's $20 par value common stock at the option of the preferred stockholder. In August 2021, all of the preferred stock was converted into common stock. The market value of the common stock at the date of the conversion was $25 per share. What total amount should be credited to additional paid-in capital from common stock as a result of the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock
Answer:
Additional paid-in capital is $4,074,000.
Explanation:
In 2020, Sheffield issued $102 per share and there were 97,000 shares of convertible preferred stock.
Preferred stock = 97,000 shares × $102 = $9,894,000
Also we were told that one preferred stock can be converted to 3 common stock i.e. 3 × Preferred stock = Common stock
Therefore, Common stock = [(97000 shares × 3 shares) × $20] = $5,820,000
Additional paid-in capital = $9,894,000 - $5,820,000 = $4,074,000.
Pronghorn Appliances provides a 3-year warranty with one of its products which was first sold in 2017. Pronghorn sold $1,840,000 of products subject to the warranty. Pronghorn expects $202,000 of warranty costs over the next 3 years. In 2017, Pronghorn spent $106,000 servicing warranty claims. Prepare Pronghorn’s journal entries to record the sales (ignore cost of goods sold) and the December 31 adjusting entry, assuming the expenditures are inventory costs; Pronghorn now expects future warranty costs of $115,000

. Spot rates and forward rates:Assume that the current yield curve for zero-coupon bonds (spot rates) is as follows:y1 = 0.5%, y2 = 0.75%, y3 = 1.0%, y4 = 1.25%, y5 = 1.5%a. Plot the spot rates against maturity (yield curve). Is the yield curve upward or downward sloping? Do market participants expect interest rates to increase or decrease in the future? b. What are the implied 1-year forward rates f2, f3, f4, and f5? Are interest rates expected to increase or decrease?Assume that there is no uncertainty about future short rates. This means that future 1 year interest rates will be equal to current forward rates (which you calculated in b.).c. In that situation what will be the spot curve (that is, the yields to maturity on 1, 2, 3, and 4-year zero coupon bonds) in 1 year? d. What is the price of a 5-year coupon bond making annual coupon payments of 2% and a par value of 1000 today? Is the bond trading above or below par? Why?e. What is the price of this bond next year (remember, it is then a 4-year coupon bond)? What is the rate of return on this bond over the next year?
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
As is observable in the first attached image below, the yield curve is upward sloping. According to the pure expectations hypothesis which states that current short-term interest rates are a reflection of long-term term interest rates, market participants should expect long-term interest rates to rise going forward.
(b) Implied one-year forward rate calculation:
[tex]1+f2 = [(1+y2)^(2)] / (1+y1)[/tex]
f2 = 1.0006%
[tex]f3 = [{(1+y3)^(3)} / {(1+y2)^(2)}] - 1[/tex]
f3 = 1.502% approximately
[tex]f4 = [{(1+y4)^(4)} / {(1+y3)^(3)}] - 1[/tex]
f4 = 2.004% approximately
[tex]f5 =[{(1+y5)^(5)} / {(1+y4)^(4)}] - 1[/tex]
f5 = 2.506% approximately.
As implied one-year forward rates are observed to be rising and there is no uncertainty about future spot rates, future interest rates are expected to rise.
(C) Kindly check the second attached image below for the solution to question c
(d) The bond's price would be calculated by summing the Present Values(PVs) of the bond's future cash flows (in the form of annual coupon payments and face value redemption). The discount rate, however, should be the spot rates from the yield curve instead of a single promised yield to maturity.
Let bond price be Pm
Therefore, Pm = 20 / 1.005 + 20 / (1.0075)^(2) + 20 / (1.01)^(3) + 20 / (1.0125)^(4) + 1020 / (1.015)^(5) = $ 1024.872 approximately.
The bond's market value is above its par value, thereby implying that the bond is selling at a premium. This happens whenever the bond's discount rate (or spot interest rates in this case) is below the bond's annual coupon rate.
Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 6.90 pounds $ 2.60 per pound $ 17.94 Direct labor 0.30 hours $ 7.00 per hour $ 2.10 During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded: 19,250.00 pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.40 per pound. All of the material purchased was used to produce 2,500 units of Zoom. 450 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $4,500. Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. 2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Answer:
1. Material Variances
Material Price Variance = $3,850 F
Material Quantity Variance = $5,200 U
2. Labor Variances
Labor Rate Variance = $1,350 U
Labor Efficiency Variance = $2,100 F
Explanation:
Calculation is as follows:
1. Material Variances
Material Price Variance = (Standard Price - Actual Price) x Actual units
Material Price Variance = ($2.60 - $2.4) x 19,250 pounds
Material Price Variance = $3,850 (favorable)
As the actual rate is less than standard rate the variance is favorable.
Standard Quantity = 2,500 x 6.9 = 17,250 pounds
Material Quantity Variance = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) x Standard Rate
Material Quantity Variance = (17,250 - 19,250) x $2.60
Material Quantity Variance = $5,200 (Unfavorable)
As the actual raw material quantity used is higher than standard raw material quantity the variance is unfavorable.
2. Labor Variances
Actual Labor Rate = 4,500/450 = $10/hour
Labor Rate Variance = (Standard Rate - Actual Rate) x Actual Hours
Labor Rate Variance = ($7 - $10) x 450
Labor Rate Variance = $1,350 (Unfavorable)
As actual rate is higher than standard rate thus the variance is unfavorable.
Standard Hours = 2,500 x 0.3 = 750
Labor Efficiency Variance = (Standard Hours - Actual Hours) x Standard Rate
Labor Efficiency Variance = (750 - 450) x $7
Labor Efficiency Variance = $2,100 (Favorable)
As the Standard Hours is more than Actual Hours the variance is favorable.

Crowl Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $793,800 that would have a 9-year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $133,000 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $21,200. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $88,200. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to
a. 5.80%
b. 11.12%
c. 16.72%
d. 5.12%
Answer:
Simple rate of return is 5.8%
Therefore option (a) is correct option.
Explanation:
It is given that purchase cost = $793800
Company saving per year = $133000
Yielding = $21200
Annual depreciation = $88200
Annual profit = $133000 - $88200 = $44800
Net investment is equal to = $793800 - $21200 = $772600
Simple rate of return [tex]=\frac{44800}{772600}=0.0579[/tex]
= 5.8%

If the government implements a price ceiling of $45, this will result in a
A. surplus of 22.5 units.
B. a surplus of 45 units.
C. a shortage of 45 units.
D. a shortage of 22.5 units.
Answer:
The correct option is (c)a shortage of 45 units.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Qd=225-3P
Qs=-22.5+1.5P
Then,
Set Qd=Qs for equilibrium
225-3P=-22.5+1.5P
4.5P=247.50
P=$55
Now
The government forces a ceiling of $45, it is binding as it is lesser than the equilibrium price.
Thus,
Let calculate the demanded quantity and supplied quantity at a price of $45
Now,
Qd=225-3*45=90
Qs=-22.5+1.5*45=45
Shortage=Qd-Qs=90-45=45 units .
Therefore, there is a shortage of 45 units.

Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the material price variance is shown below:
= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)
= $7,260 × (2,200 pounds × $3.10 per pound)
= $440 unfavorable
b. The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:
= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)
= $3.10 × (2,200 pounds - (190 units × 6 pounds))
= $3,286 unfavorable
c. Total material variance
= Material price variance + material quantity variance
= $440 unfavorable + $3,286 unfavorable
= $3,726 unfavorable
d. The computation of the labor price variance is shown below:
= Actual Hours × (Actual price - Standard Price)
= $7,623 - (770 hours × $10)
= $77 favorable
e. The computation of the labor quantity variance is shown below:
= Standard Rate × (Actual Hours - Standard hours allowed for actual units)
= $10 × (770 hours - (190 units × 4 hours)
= $100 unfavorable
Total labor variance
= Labor rate variance + labor quantity variance
= $77 favorable + 100 unfavorable
= $23 unfavorable
Assume that Parker Company will receive SF200,000 in 360 days. Assume the following interest rates: the 360-day borrowing rate in U.S. is 7% while the 360-day borrowing rate in Switzerland is 5%. The 360-day deposit rate in U.S. is 5% while the 360-day deposit rate in Switzerland is 4%. Assume the forward rate of the Swiss franc is $0.50 and the spot rate of the Swiss franc is $0.48. If Parker Company uses a money market hedge, it will receive ____ in 360 days.
Answer:
Company will receive = $96,000
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Corresponding SF liability equals to pay SF200,000 including interest
= 200,000÷1.05 = SF190476.19
Now Convert the SF into $US at the current spot rate = $0.48×190476.19
= $91428.57
Now deposit the $ US at 5% and withdraw after 360 days =
= $91428.57 + $91428.57×5%
= $95999.99
This way the liability of SF 190476.19 + 190476.19×5% interest will be paid off when Parker company receives $200,000, Parker company will receive = $96,000 in 360 days.
Fresher Foods, Inc., orally agreed to purchase one thousand bushels of corn for $1.25 per bushel from Dale Vernon, a farmer. Fresher Foods paid $125 down and agreed to pay the remainder of the purchase price on delivery, which was scheduled for one week later. When Fresher Foods tendered the balance of $1,125 on the scheduled day of delivery and requested the corn, Vernon refused to deliver it. Fresher Foods sued Vernon for damages, claiming that Vernon had breached their oral contract.
Can Fresher Foods recover? If so, to what extent?
Answer:
In the case of Fresher Goods, Inc.v. Vernon, the trial court will possibly conclude that Vernon must complete the portion of the payment which has already been compensated for as a result of partial results.
Explanation:
Vernon accepted partial payment for the sold goods. While the Law of Frauds demanded that any contract for the selling of goods at a price of $500 or more be enforceable in writing, the oral arrangement was partially compensated and agreed by all parties. That part of the deal was binding, so Vernon would supply 100 corn bushels to Fresher for $1.25 per bushel.
