James hires Franco for a painting job. Their contract explicitly states that Franco's employment can be terminated if he is employed by another party during the contract period. Two weeks into the job, James finds out that Franco is also working for a painting agency two blocks away and terminates his employment. This is an instance of ________.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Condition subsequent.

Explanation:

This is rampant on agreement that deal with contracts as it is seen to be a situation that terminates a previously valid contract. Closely related legal concepts in cases of this kind are treated as conditions precedent and conditions concurrent. A condition subsequent in certain contracts are known to trigger the termination of the agreement of the said contract and also eliminates rights and obligations in the ends of the two parties. It is seen also in cases that when it occurs, it terminates any duty to perform and can also terminate rights and interests that were present under the terms of the contract.

A factory costs $400,000. It will produce an inflow after operating costs of $100 000 in year 1. $ 200,000 in year 2, and $ 300,000 in year 3. The opportunity cost of capital is 12%. Calculate NPV.

Answers

Answer:

NPV = $62,258.56

Explanation:

initial outlay year 0 = $400,000

cash inflow year 1 = $100,000

cash inflow year 2 = $200,000

cash inflow year 3 = $300,000

discount rate = 12%

using a financial calculator, NPV = $62,258.56

if you do it by hand:

NPV = -$400,000 + $100,000/1.12 + $200,000/1.12² + $300,000/1.12³ = -$400,000 + $89,285.71 + $159,438.78 + $213,534.07 = $62,258.56

Under the principles of agency law, any sale of goods by a salesperson in a store to a customer can be binding on the owner of the store. True False

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation:

Under Agency Law in relation to employment, the salesperson is acting as an agent of the owner of the store and as such is their representative. As their representative, it is assumed that whatever they are selling is from the Owner whom they represent and as such can be binding on the owner.

This is why the Agent must act in the best interest of the owner because the owner could be held negligent for the actions of their agents. For instance, a salesperson will not be sued for a faulty equipment that caused harm but the store can.

Answers

Answer:

a. Harry will recognize $0.

b. Sally will also recognize $0.

c. By selling the equipment to an unrelated party and by contributing $150,000 to the partnership instead.

d. Harry's tax basis in his partnership interest is $130,000.

e. Sally's tax basis in her partnership interest is $200,000

f. Evergreen's tax basis in its assets is $330,000

g. Total assets = Total Capital = $330,000

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together and they are first sorted before answering the questions as follows:

Harry:                                                      Basis             Fair Market Value

Cash                                                     $30,000                   $30,000

Land                                                      100,000                  120,000  

Totals                                                  $130,000                $150,000

Sally:

Equipment used in a business           200,000                    150,000

Totals                                                $200,000                  $150,000

The explanations to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. How much gain or loss will Harry recognize on the contribution?

Harry will recognize $0 because he did not have any debt relief.

The reason is that gain on property contributed by a partner to a partnership will be recognized only when the debt relief they seemed to have received is greater than their basis in the partnership before the distribution.

Since Harry did not have any debt relief, he will therefore recognize $0.

b. How much gain or loss will Sally recognize on the contribution?

Sally will also recognize $0.

It is possible that when partners contributes property to a partnership, loss may not be recognized even if they have debt relief. Therefore, it not in all cases that loss are recognized.

c. How could the transaction be structured a different way to get a better result for Sally?

This transaction could be structured differently if Sally decides to sell the equipment to an unrelated party and then make a cash contribution of $150,000 to the partnership instead of contributing the equipment. As a result of this, it will be possible for Sally to recognize the built-in loss on the equipment by selling it.

d. What is Harry's tax basis in his partnership interest?

The basis of Harry in his partnership interest can be obtained by adding his contribution of cash and land to the partnership as follows:

Harry's tax basis = $30,000 + $100,000 = $130,000.

Therefore, Harry's tax basis in his partnership interest is $130,000.

e. What is Sally's tax basis in her partnership interest?

This is simply the amount of her contribution of $200,000 basis in the equipment.

Therefore, Sally's tax basis in her partnership interest is $200,000.

f. What is Evergreen's tax basis in its assets?

This can be calculated by adding the Harry's basis in cash and land of $30,000 and $100,000 respectively together with Sally's basis in equipment of $200,000 as follows:

Evergreen's tax basis in its assets = $30,000 + $100,000 + $200,000 = $330,000

Therefore, Evergreen's tax basis in its assets is $330,000.

e. Prepare a tax basis balance sheet for the Evergreen partnership showing the tax basis capital accounts for the partners.

This can be prepared as follows:

Evergreen partnership

Answers

Answer:

The answer is:

1. Commodity

2. Fiat

Explanation:

We have two questions here.

First, the answer is commodity money. Commodity money is the type of money whose value are tied to the commodity it is made up of. This is used as a medium of exchange when the value of money falls totally (during inflation or hyperinflation.) Examples of commodity money can be gold, cocoa,copper etc.

Second question. The answer is fiat money. Fiat money is the currency issued by the national government of a country through The Fed(in US) or Central banks (in most countries).

The fiat money in US is the US dollar, for Nigeria is Nigerian naira etc. It is a legal tender in those countries.

Suppose that when your income increases by $300, your consumption expenditures increases by $240.
Your marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is _________ .
If your MPC was the same as the MPC for the economy as a whole, the expenditure multiplier for the economy would be ______________ .
Thus, a $4 million investment project would increase income by $ _________ million in total.

Answers

Answer:

The MPC is 0.8

The multiplier or k is 5

The increase in income would be $20 million.

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of increased disposable income that consumers spend. It is a metric to quantify the induced consumption and how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of increase in income.

MPC is calculated as follows,

MPC = Change in consumer spending / change in income

MPC = 240 / 300

MPC = 0.8 or 80%

To calculate the multiplier, we simply use the following formula,

Multiplier or k = 1 / (1 - MPC)

k = 1 / (1 - 0.8)

k = 5

So, the expenditure multiplier for the economy would be 5.

To calculate the increase in income, we will multiply the investment amount by the expenditure multiplier.

Income increase = 4000000 * 5

Income increase = $20000000 or 20 million

Manufacturing overhead—multiple application bases Staley Toy Co. makes toy flutes.

1. Raw materials costing $490.

2. 21 direct labor hours costing $357.

3. 36 machine hours.

b. At the end of October, 3,870 of these toy flutes had been sold. Calculate the ending inventory value of the toy flutes still in inventory at October, 31.

Answers

Answer:

a. $ 0.45

b. $148.50

Explanation:

Production Cost Schedule for 4,200 toy flutes

Raw materials costing                   $490.00

Direct Labor                                   $357.00

Overheads ($5.60 × 36)                $201.60

Overheads ($357 × 240%)            $856.80

Total Cost                                    $1,905.40

Cost per unit = Total Cost / Total Number of Units produced

                      =  $1,905.40 / 4,200

                      =  $ 0.45

Closing Inventory = Units Left × Cost per unit

                              = (4,200 -  3,870) × $ 0.45

                              =  330 × $ 0.45

                              =  $148.50

The required investment cost of a​ new, large shopping center is ​$49 million. The salvage value of the project is estimated to be ​$20 million​ (the value of the​ land). The​ project's life is 15 years and the annual operating expenses are estimated to be ​$14 million. The MARR for such projects is 15​% per year. What must the minimum annual revenue be to make the shopping center a worthwhile​ venture?

Answers

Answer:

The minimum annual revenue is 22.38 million.

Explanation:

Let the minimum annual revenue = X

Therefore,

The present value of cash inflows = Present value of cash outflows

X (P/A,15%,15) + 20 (P/F,15%,15)= 49*1 + 14(P/A,15%,15)

Now look into the annuity table or compound interest factor table and use that values to solve the equation.

X(5.847) + 20 (0.1229) = 49 + 14 (5.847)

X(5.847) = 130.858

X = 130.858 / 5.847

X = 22.38 millions

The minimum annual revenue = 22.38 million.

Explanation:

In the past, Taylor Industries has used a fixed−time period inventory system that involved taking a complete inventory count of all items each month. However, increasing labor costs are forcing Taylor Industries to examine alternative ways to reduce the amount of labor involved in inventory stockrooms, yet without increasing other costs, such as shortage costs. Here is a random sample of 20 of Taylor's items.
ITEM NUMBER ANNUAL USAGE ITEM NUMBER ANNUAL USAGE
1 $ 1,500 11 $ 13,000
2 12,000 12 600
3 2,200 13 42,000
4 50,000 14 9,900
5 9,600 15 1,200
6 750 16 10,200
7 2,000 17 4,000
8 11,000 18 61,000
9 800 19 3,500
10 15,000 20 2,900
a. What would you recommend Taylor do to cut back its labor cost? (Illustrate using an ABC plan.)
b. Item 15 is critical to continued operations. How would you recommend it beclassified?

Answers

Answer:

a) Taylor Industries can successfully cut back its labor cost in inventory stockrooms by counting only high-value items.  These items are determined by reference to their Annual Usage values.  The items' annual usage values should be used as the activity cost pool for accumulating and allocating labor cost in inventory stockrooms.  Taylor Industries can establish a benchmark or cutoff point so that only the items meeting this benchmark are counted.  For example, the items with annual usage value above $5,000 should be included in the items to be counted.  This strategy will reduce the number of items to be counted and therefore the labor cost.

b) Since item 15 is critical to Taylor Industries' continued operations, it should be classified as a direct materials cost and not an overhead cost.

A company is considering expanding their production capabilities with a new machine that costs $38,000 and has a projected lifespan of 8 years . They estimate the increased production will provide a constant $5,000 per year of additional income . Money can earn 1.7% per year, compounded continuously . Should the company buy the machine

Answers

Answer:

the company should  not buy the machine.

Explanation:

Given that:

cost of the new machine = $38000

lifespan = 8 years

constant income = 5,000

Interest = 1.7%

no of days  = 365

The value of earning at the time of buying can be calculated as follows:

[tex]= \dfrac{5000}{(1+ \dfrac{1.7}{100})^8}+ \dfrac{5000}{(1+ \dfrac{1.7}{100})^7}+\dfrac{5000}{(1+ \dfrac{1.7}{100})^6}+...+ \dfrac{5000}{(1+ \dfrac{1.7}{100})^0}[/tex]

[tex]= 5000 \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1}{(1.017)^8}+ \dfrac{1}{(1.017)^8}+\dfrac{1}{(1.017)^6}+...+ 1} \end {pmatrix}[/tex]

Sum of a Geometric progression [tex]S=a \dfrac{(r^n -1)}{(r-1)}[/tex]

[tex]S=(\dfrac{1}{1.017})^8 \dfrac{((1.017)^9 -1)}{(1.017-1)}[/tex]

[tex]S= \dfrac{((1.017)^9 -1)}{ (1.017)^8(0.017)}[/tex]

S = 8.4211

The value of earning at the time of buying = (5000 × 8.4211)-$5000

The value of earning at the time of buying = $42105.5 -$5000

The value of earning at the time of buying = $37105.5

The Machine price = $38000

If the value - Machine price > 0, then the company should  buy the machine

= $ 37105.5 - $38000

= -$ 894.5

Since the value is negative which is less than zero, then the company should  not buy the machine.

The company should not buy the machine since it earns a negative NPV of $894.25.

Data and Calculations:

Cost of machine in present value = $38,000

Projected lifespan = 8 years

Additional annual income = $5,000

Compound interest rate = 1.7%

Present value annuity factor for 1.7% for 8 years = 0.13475

Present value of annual income = $37,105.75 ($5,000/0.13475)

Net present value = -$894.25 ($38,000 - $37,105.75)

An aircraft company has an order to refurbish the interiors of 18 jet aircraft. The work has a learning curve percentage of 80. On the basis of experience with similar jobs, the industrial engineering department estimates that the first plane will require 300 hours to refurbish. Estimate the amount of time needed to complete:

a. The fifth plane
b. The first five planes
c. All 18 planes

Answers

Answer:

a. 125.43 hours

b. 767.92 hours

c. 2,129.04 hours

Explanation:

Using the mathematical approach, we have :

y = ax ^b

Where ,

y is the average time to manufacture x units

a is the time its takes to manufacture first plane

b is the log of 80% divided by log 2

Then,

Average time for 5 planes = 300 (5)^-0.322

                                            = 178.67 hours

Total time for 5 planes = 178.67 hours × 5

                                      = 893.35

Average time for 4 planes = 300 (4)^-0.322

                                            = 191.98 hours

Total time for 5 planes = 191.98 hours × 4

                                      = 767.92 hours

The fifth plane would take =  893.35 - 767.92

                                            =  125.43 hours

Average time for the 18 planes = 300(18)^-0.322

                                                    = 118,28 hours

Total time for 18 planes = 118,28 hours × 18

                                       = 2,129.04 hours

Jamie has worked for ABC Printing for 5 years. During this period ABC Printing has contributed $25,000 to her non-contributory retirement plan. Assuming ABC uses graded schedule vesting, how much will Jamie be able to roll into an IRA if she left ABC Printing after 5 years?

Answers

Answer:

$20,000

Explanation:

Generally a graded vesting schedule lasts 6 years. After the first 2 years, the employee is entitled to 20% of accrued benefits (in this case contributions to her retirement plan). Then, the employee will be vested an additional 20% of the contribution benefits per year until the sixth year when 100% of the benefits are vested.

In this case, Jamie would be able to roll out $25,000 x 80% = $20,000

Duerr company makes a $73,000, 90-day, 10% cash loan to Ryan Co. The maturity value of the loan is: (Use 360 days a year.)

Answers

Answer: $74,825

Explanation:

Maturity value is the amount that a borrower will pay to the lender when the loan matures.

Based on the above analysis, the interest will be:

= $73,000 × 10% × 90/360

= $73,000 × 0.1 × 0.25

= $1825

Maturity value will now be the addition of the principal and the interest. This will be:

= $73,000 + $1825

a. Although there are five elements in the promotional mix, the only element that reallybenefits from an IMC audit is advertising.
b. Most IMC programs have no difficulty creating a pretest, but posttests are much moredifficult to construct since a number of unknown elements must be measured.
c. To fully benefit from IMC programs, companies must create and maintain a test-resultdatabase that allows comparisons of the relative impact of the promotional tools and theirexecution options in varying situations.
d. The ideal IMC program does not need any evaluation if it is executed according to plan.E. The most effective IMC audits are external. Internal audits tend to skew results to fitexpectations.

Answers

Answer: To fully benefit from IMC programs, companies must create and maintain a test-resultdatabase that allows comparisons of the relative impact of the promotional tools and their execution options in varying situations.

Explanation:

Out of the statements about executing and evaluating the promotion program that were given in the question, the option that is most accurate is that to fully benefit from IMC programs, companies must create and maintain a test-result database that allows comparisons of the relative impact of the promotional tools and their execution options in varying situations.

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Project A Project B
Time 0 -10,000 -5,000
Time 1 4,000 3,000

If WiseGuy Inc. uses payback period rule to choose projects, which of the projects (Project A or Project B) will rank highest?
a) Project A
b) Project B
c) Project A and B have the same ranking
d) Cannot calculate a payback period without a discount rate

Answers

Answer: b) Project B

Explanation:

Payback period works by checking how long it will take a project to pay back the initial amount invested in it. Project A.

Project A

Payback Period = Year before Payback happens + Amount left till payback/Cash inflow in year of payback

= Time 1 + Time 2

= 4,000 + 3,000

= $7,000

This amount is not enough to cover the investment of $10,000 so the investment will be paid in Time 3 and remains $3,000.

= 2 + 3,000/10,000

= 2.3 Times

Project B

= Time 1 + Time 2

= 3,000 + 2,000

= $5,000

At the end of Time 2, Project B has paid off its initial investment of $5,000. Its Payback period is 2 Times. This is lower than Project A so this project will rank higher.

Use the following information to determine the break-even point in sales dollars:

Unit sales 51,600 Units
Dollar sales $516,000
Fixed costs $206,000
Variable costs $193,500
$206,000.

$116,500.

$186,400.

$329,600.

$516,000.

Answers

Answer:

$329,600

Explanation:

The computation of break-even point is shown below:-

But before that first we need to compute the following calculations

Total contribution margin ratio = Sales - Variable cost

= $516,000 - $193,500

= $322,500

Contribution margin in percentage = Total Contribution Margin ÷ Total Sales

= $322,500 ÷ $516,000

= 62.50%

Now,

Break-even point = Total fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin in percentage

= $206,000 ÷ 62.50%

= $329,600

A stock priced at $61 has three-month calls and puts with an exercise price of $55 available. The calls have a premium of $5.28, and the puts cost $0.56. The risk-free rate is 1.1%. If the put options are mispriced, what is the profit per option assuming no transaction costs?

Answers

Answer:

The Profit per option =  $1.431

Explanation:

Given that:

Current stock price S = $61

Exercise Strike price X = $55

Value of call option C = $5.28

Puts Costs = $0.56

risk-free rate = (1.1% × 3)/12

risk - free rate = 0.275%

If the put options are mispriced, what is the profit per option assuming no transaction costs

Present value of the strike price [tex]X = \dfrac{X}{(1+r)}[/tex]

[tex]X = \dfrac{55}{(1+\dfrac{0.275}{100})}[/tex]

[tex]X = \dfrac{55}{(1+0.00275)}[/tex]

[tex]X = \dfrac{55}{(1.00275)}[/tex]

X = $54.849

The formula that hold for the  put option can be expressed as:

P = Present value of  the strike price X + C - S

P = $(54.849 + 5.28 - 61)

P = $60.129 - $61

P = - $0.871

Thus, the put option = - $0.871

This implies that the Put option is out of cash since it is negative.

Now, The Profit per option = put costs - (- put option)

The Profit per option =  0.56 - ( - 0.871)

The Profit per option =  $1.431

In his 1935 book, Harold Laswell described politics as "Who Gets What When How." The American concept of pluralism, or group politics, includes all of the following except _________________.

A) placing others into decision-making positions.

B) removing inefficient or ineffective representatives.

C) casting one's ballot on Election Day.

D) influencing decisions affecting one's life.

Answers

Answer:

D) influencing decisions affecting one's life.

Explanation:

Pluralism is an American theory of governance that states that political power is controlled by several groups of people and not the citizens as a whole. These several groups of people constitute organizations, activists, environmentalists, and other impactful groups who seek recognition and acceptance from the populace and who make decisions that affect the citizens. One attribute of Pluralism is the fact that no single elite or groups of elites control decision making in governance.

The groups of people have powers that are limited in scope and regulated by competition with other groups. Moreso, these groups seek approval from the populace and that is why opinion polls, surveys, elections, etc., are carried out in order to ascertain which entities are more popular with the people.

Hawk Corporation purchased 10,000 Diamond Corporation bonds in 2015 for $55 per bond and classified the investment as securities available for sale. The value of the Diamond investment was $85 per bond on December 31, 2016, and $97 on December 31, 2017. During 2018, Hawk sold all of its Diamond investment at $147 per bond. In its 2018 income statement, Hawk would report:_________.

Answers

Answer:

Gain of $920,000

Explanation:

Calculation for what Hawk would report In its 2018 income statement.

First step is the adjustment of Hawk accumulation of unrealized holding gain and fair value for 205-2017

Unrealized holding gain and fair value Adjustment=($97- 55) × 10,000 shares

Unrealized holding gain and fair value Adjustment=$42×10,000 shares

Unrealized holding gain and fair value Adjustment= $420,000

Second step is to find the additional increase that occurred in 2018

Additional increase=($147-$97)×10,000 shares

Additional increase=50×10,000 shares

Additional increase =$500,000

Last step is to find the total gain realized in the income statement

Total gain realized=$500,000+$420,000

Total gain realized=$920,000

Therefore what Hawk would report In its 2018 income statement will be a gain of $920,000
