Answer: a. The expected rate of return will be higher for the stock of Kaskin, Inc., than that of Quinn, Inc.
Explanation:
The beta of a stock measures its systematic risk which is its risk in relation to the market. With a higher systematic risk, there would be a higher expected return to compensate for this risk.
The beta is used to calculate the expected return in the CAPM formula:
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta * Market premium
Note how the higher the beta, the higher the expected return based on the above formula.
calls for establishing cost reduction targets for products or services that an organization is currently providing to customers. A. Kaizen costing B. Process reengineering C. Target costing D. Activity-based costing
Answer:
A. Kaizen costing
Explanation:
Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
In Financial accounting, a direct cost can be defined as any expense which can easily be connected to a specific cost object such as a department, project or product. Some examples of direct costs are cost of raw materials, machineries or equipments.
On the other hand, any cost associated with the running, operations and maintenance of a company refers to indirect costs. Some examples of indirect costs are utility bill, office accessories, diesel etc.
Kaizen costing refer to calls for establishing cost reduction targets with respect to products or services that an organization is currently providing to customers. The word "Kaizen" has a Japanese origin and it simply means continuous improvement to a thing.

Answer:
7.79%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the required rate of return (yield) on the preferred stock
Using this formula
Cost of preferred stock=Annual Dividend per share/Current price of preferred stock
Let plug in the formula
Cost of preferred stock=$11.45/$147

Cost of preferred stock=7.79%
Therefore the required rate of return (yield) on the preferred stock is 7.79%
At an activity level of 9,300 machine-hours in a month, Curt Corporation's total variable production engineering cost is $766,320 and its total fixed production engineering cost is $191,040. What would be the total production engineering cost per machine-hour, both fixed and variable, at an activity level of 9,600 machine-hours in a month
Answer:
$102.3 per machine hour
Explanation:
We can compute the total production engineering cost per hour by using the following equation;
Cost per machine hour = (Fixed cost + Variable cost) / Total machine hours
But first, we need to calculate variable cost at 9,600 hours;
= $766,320 × 9,600hr / 9,300hr
= $791,040
Now, cost per machine hour
= $191,040 + $791,040 / 9,600hr
= $982,040 / 9,600hr
= $102.3 per machine hour

Using the Base Case, calculate total depreciation expense for the year 2023E. Assume that depreciation expense on assets pre-2020E is $15,000 per year. Depreciation on capital expenditures made from 2020E-2024E assumes a 4-year useful life and a salvage value equal to 10% of the original cost.
Review Later
a) $19,500
b) $33,000
c) $30,000
d) $20,000
Answer:
b) $33,000
Explanation:
Capital Expenditure = $20,000
Salvage Value in % = 10%
Useful Life = 4 Years
Salvage Value = Salvage Value% * Capital Expenditure
Salvage Value = 10% * 20,000
Salvage Value = $2,000
Annual Depreciation = (Capital Expenditures - Salvage Value) / Useful Life
Annual Depreciation = ($20,000 - $2,000) / 4
Annual Depreciation = $18,000 / 4
Annual Depreciation = $4,500
Depreciation of 2023E = Depreciation Pre 2020E + Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2020E + Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2021E + Additional Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2022E + Additional Depreciation on capital expenditures in 2023E
Depreciation of 2023E = $15,000 + $4,500 + $4,500 + $4,500 + $4,500
Depreciation of 2023E = $33,000
Lot’s Wife Manufacturing produces rear-view video systems for buses. The firm’s cost function is TC = 2,000 + 120 Q. If the systems sell for $145, what is the break-even rate of production?
Answer:
80
Explanation:
in this question we have the cost function to be
TC = 2,000 + 120 Q.
breakeven point is at total cost = total revenue
total revenue = p*q
= 145 *Q= 145Q
tc = total cost = 145Q
145Q = 2000 + 120Q
We collect like terms from this equation above
145Q-120Q= 2000
25Q = 2000
divide through by 25
Q = 2000/25
q = 80
the breakeven rate of production is 80 quantities.

Wholesome Burger, Inc. budgeted 25,000 direct labor hours for producing 100,000 units. The standard direct labor rate is $6 per hour. During March, the company used 30,000 hours for producing 80,000 units and paid $6.25 per hour. Calculate the direct labor rate variance.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, we will apply the formula below to compute direct labor rate variance.
Direct labor rate variance =
(SR - AR) × AH
Stanadard (Rate) SR = $6
Actual Hour (AR) = $6.25
Actual Hour (AH) = 30,000
Then,
Direct labor rate variance
= ($6 - $6.25) × 30,000
= -$0.25 × 30,000
= -$7,500
= $30,000 Unfavorable
It is unfavourable because the actual rate is more than the budgeted rate.
Linda believes that employees can view work as being as natural as rest or play, and therefore the average person can learn to accept, and even seek, responsibility. Linda's belief is best described by ______________.
Answer: Theory Y
Explanation:
Douglas McGregor came up with this theory of labor motivation that proposes that people are motivated internally to work hard and so need little push to actually work.
They are like this because they have come to view work as being a natural occurrence just like rest or play. Because it is now natural to them, they are able to learn to accept and even seek responsibility. Managers prefer such workers.

Do government statisticians calculate GDP by simply adding up the total sales of all business firms in one year? Explain.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
No, because the gross domestic product is determined by encompassing the final product. If the total sales are used to determine the GDP then the false value of GDP will come up because the problem of double counting will arise. Many firms sell their goods to other firms which is intermediate goods for the other firms.

Sheffield Corp. has a materials price standard of $2.00 per pound. 4900 pounds of materials were purchased at $2.20 a pound. The actual quantity of materials used was 4900 pounds, although the standard quantity allowed for the output was 4000 pounds. Sheffield Corp.'s materials quantity variance is:_____.
a. $1980 U.
b. $1800 F.
c. $1800 U.
d. $1980 F.
Answer:
a. $1,980 U
Explanation:
We will compute the direct materials quantity variance using the formula below.
Direct materials quantity variance =
(Standard quantity allowed - Actual quantity of materials) × Materials price standard
Fixing in the values, we'll have;
Direct materials quantity variance
= (4,000 pounds - 4,900 pounds) × $2.20 per pound
= -900 pounds × $2.20 per pound
= -$1,980
= $1,980 U

C. the demand curve, as consumers try to economize because of the shortage.
D. the demand curve, resulting in a price ceiling in the market.
Answer:
B. the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
Explanation:
In this scenario, a severe freeze has damaged the Florida orange crop. Thus, the impact on the market for orange juice will be a leftward shift of the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
An equilibrium price can be defined as the price at which the quantity of goods demanded is equal to the quantity of goods supplied.
Additionally, the equilibrium price is generally said to be stable because at this price, the quantity of goods or services demanded is equal to the quantity of goods or services supplied to the consumers.

rt, a $0.73 per share cash dividend was declared by the board of directors for it common stock. On 12/31, the date of declaration, there were 98,000 shares authorized, 59,000 shares issued, and 8,000 Treasury shares. On the date of the dividend declaration, what amount will Walmart record into their dividend account
Answer:
$36,792
Explanation:
Missing word "At Walmart, the board of directors declared a $0.73"
Outstanding stockholder = Issued stockholder - Treasury stock
Outstanding stockholder = 59,000 shares - 8,600 shares
Outstanding stockholder = 50,400 shares
Amount of Dividend = Declared per share cash dividend * Outstanding stockholder
Amount of Dividend = 50,400 shares * $0.73
Amount of Dividend = $36,792
So therefore, on the date of the dividend declaration, $36,792 shall be recorded by Walmart into their dividend account.

You want to take out a $125,000 mortgage. The interest rate on the mortgage is 5%, and the loan is for 30 years. How much will your monthly payments be
Answer: $671.03
Explanation:
The monthly payment will be an annuity because it will be constant. The loan amount will be the present value of the loan.
Periodic interest rate of loan = 5%/12 = 5/12%
Loan period = 30 * 12 months = 360 months
Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -number of periods) / rate
125,000 = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + 5/12%)⁻³⁶⁰) / 5/12%
125,000 = Annuity * 186.2816170
Annuity = 125,000 / 186.2816170
= $671.03
