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.
If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.
Answer:
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Explanation:
Given:
Retained earnings = $2.7 million
Common shares account = $4.7 million
Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million
Stock dividend = 10%
Find:
Changes in account.
Computation:
1. Change in retained earnings
Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
2. Change in common shares account
Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)
Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
3. Change in additional paid-in capital
Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)

The Converting Department of Hopkinsville Company had 1,200 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 75% complete. During the period, 25,200 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,360 units in process at the end of the period, which were 25% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".
Answer:
Equivalent Units
Material cost = 26,560
Conversion Cost= 25,540
Explanation:
We would assume the company uses weighted average method of valuation.
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Equivalent units = Degree of completion (%) × Number of units
Material cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 100%× 1,360 1360
Total equivalent units 26,560
Conversion Cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 25%× 1,360 340
Total equivalent units 25,540
Suppose that the standard deviation of monthly changes in the price of commodity A is $2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in a futures price for a contract on commodity B (which is similar to commodity A) is $3. The correlation between the futures price and the commodity price is 0.9. What hedge ratio should be used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A
Answer:
0.6
Explanation:
Correlation r = 0.9,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3
The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula
Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB
Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3
Hedge ratio = 0.6
Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.
Your bagel shop uses both capital and labor in the production of bagels. In this production process capital and labor are substitutes. If you install a new oven and the marginal product of capital increases, you will:
a. reduce the number of workers you employ
b. increase the number of workers you employ
c. reduce the amount of capital you are using not make any changes since you are already maximizing profit
Answer:
The answer is option A) reduce the number of workers you employ
Explanation:
Installing a new oven is capital intensive. So, for a business person to incur an additional capital cost to aid the efficiency of production, something has to give.
In this case, where capital and labor are substitutes, installing a new oven will drastically reduce the workload thereby necessitating a reduction in the number of workers.
By implication, the cost of paying wages which is a recurrent expenditure will reduce. In the long run and if the oven is maintained, it will e a very cost effective option.
Installing a new oven also suggests a marginal increment in capital.

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Assume you can invest money at a 14 percent rate of return. How much money must be invested now to be able to withdraw $5,000 from this investment at the end of each year for eight years, the first withdrawal occurring one year from now
Answer:
the original amount invested = $285,714.29
Explanation:
Let original amount invested be x
Amount to be withdrawn per year = $5,000
Total number of years = 8
Total amount to be withdrawn = 5,000 × 8 = $40,000
Next, we are told that 14% return on x is realized,
∴ 14% return on x = $40,000
0.14 × x = 40,000
x = 40,000 ÷ 0.14 = $285,714.29
Therefore, the original amount invested = $285,714.29

Answer:
The amount of AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021 is $26,250
Explanation:
In order to calculate the calculate the amount of AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021 we would have to use the following formula:
amount of AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021=(AOCI net gain 12/31/20-Corridor amount for 2021)/Average remaining service life
AOCI net gain 12/31/20=$1,512,000
Corridor amount for 2021=$1,092,000=10,920,000*10%
Average remaining service life=16
Therefore, AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021=($1,512,000-$1,092,000)/16
AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021=$26,250

C. a credit to Cash of $ 137 comma 750. D. a credit to Notes Payable for $ 95 comma 000.
Answer:
Option A, a debit to Interest Expense for $ 17 comma 100 is correct
Explanation:
The principal amount on 1st January 2021 needs to be established since that would be the amount left after 2018,2019,2020 principals have been repaid
Principal at 1st January 2021=$475,000-($95,000*3)=$190000
Interest on principal in 2021=$190000 *9%=$17100
Total repayment in 2021=principal plus interest=$95,000+$17,100=$ 112,100.00
The $95,000 would be a debit to notes payable not credit hence option is wrong.
Only option A,a debit of $17,100 to interest expense is correct
Your aunt is about to retire, and she wants to sell some of her stock and buy an annuity that will provide her with income of $53,000 per year for 30 years, beginning a year from today. The going rate on such annuities is 7.25%. How much would it cost her to buy such an annuity today
Answer:
Present Value= $641,494.12
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $53,000 per year
Number of years= 30 years
Interest rate= 7.25%
First, we need to calculate the final value of the annuity:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual flow
FV= {53,000*[(1.0725^30)-1]} / 0.0725
FV= $5,237,351.32
Now, we can determine the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 5,237,351.32/ (1.0725^30)
PV= $641,494.12
A bidding firm, A, is worth $27,000 as a stand-alone entity. A target firm, B, is worth $12,000 as a stand-alone entity, but $18,000 if it is acquired and integrated with Firm A. Several other firms are interested in acquiring Firm B, and Firm B is also worth $18,000 if it is acquired by these other firms. If A acquired B, would this acquisition create value? If yes, how much? How much of this value would the equity holders of A receive? How much would the equity holders of B receive?
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Firm A’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $27,000
Firm B’s worth as a stand-alone entity = $12,000
But if Firm A acquired Firm B it’s increase worth of Firm B at $18000.
Firm A is acquired Firm B, this acquisition create value of
= $18,000 - $12000
= $6000.
With this acquisition equity holders of Firms received $18,000 which is $6,000 more than Firm B stand alone.

Haylock Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,800 direct labor-hours will be required in August. The variable overhead rate is $1.20 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,560 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,790. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The August cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
Total cash= $101,130
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated direct labor hours= 7,800
The variable overhead rate is $1.20 per direct labor-hour.
The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,560 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,790.
We need to deduct the depreciation expense because it is not a cash disbursement.
Cash disbursement:
Variable overhead= 7,800*1.2= $9,360
Fixed overhead= (100,560 - 8,790)= $91,770
Total cash= $101,130
A Company manufactures coffee tables. The Company has a policy of adding a 20% markup to full costs and currently has excess capacity. The following information pertains to the company's normal operations per month: Output units 30,000 tables Machine-hours 6000 hours Direct manufacturing labor-hours 10,000 hours Direct materials per unit $50 Direct manufacturing labor per hour $12.00 Variable manufacturing overhead costs $322,500 Fixed manufacturing overhead costs $1,200,000 Product and process design costs $600,000 Marketing and distribution costs $1,290,000 For long-run pricing of the coffee tables, what price will most likely be used by the Company
Answer:
$201.30
Explanation:
Direct materials = $50
Total Direct manufacturing labor = $12.00 * 10,000 = $120,000
Variable manufacturing overhead costs = $322,500
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs = $1,200,000
Product and process design costs = $600,000
Marketing and distribution costs = $1,290,000
Total cost apart from direct material = $120,000 + $322,500 + $1,200,000 + $600,000 + $1,290,000 = $3,532,500
Cost per unit apart from direct material = $3,532,500 / 30,000 = $117.75
Total cost per unit = $117.75 + $50 = $167.75
Mark up per unit = $167.75 * 20% = $33.55
Price per unit = $167.75 + $33.55 = $201.30
Answer: $201.30
Explanation:
To solve this all the expenses incurred per unit need to be included in the unit.
Direct Materials $50
Direct Manufacturing Labour Hours per unit
= (10,000/30,000 units) * 12 (direct Manufacturing Labour per hour)
= $4
Variable Manufacturing Overhead Cost
= 322,500/30,000
= $10.75
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs
= 1,200,000/30,000
= $40
Product and process design costs
= 600,000/30,000
= $20
Marketing and distribution costs
= 1,290,000/30,000
= $43
Adding everything up,
= 50 + 4 + 10.75 + 40 + 20 + 43
= $167.75
Company adds 20% to costs so,
= 167.75 * ( 1 + 20%)
= $201.30
Company will most likely sell at $201.30

Hancock Medical Supply Co., earned $90,500 of revenue on account during Year 1, its first year of operation. During Year 1, Hancock collected $71,400 of cash from its receivables accounts. The company did not write-off any uncollectible accounts. It estimates that it will be unable to collect 1% of revenue on account. What is the net realizable value of receivables that will be reported on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 1
Answer:
$18,195
Explanation:
The computation of the net realizable value is shown below:
As we know that
Net Realizable Value of Receivables = Ending Accounts Receivable - Estimated Uncollectibles amount
where,
Ending balance of Accounts Receivable is
= Revenue on Account - Accounts collected
= $90,500 - $71,400
= $191,00
And,
Estimated Uncollectibles i.e Bad debt Expense is
= Revenue on Account × given percentage
= $90,500 × 1%
= $905
So, the net realizable value is
= $19,100 - $905
= $18,195

Anabelle and Bettina are involved in a 'cognitive' conflict as it occurs when they both experience a mental as well as emotional discomfort when they are confronted with the information that challenges their existing ideas or beliefs. The most likely outcomes of this situation would be that they 'both would learn from each other' by accepting each other's point of view and adapting with the new information that would help them 'reach a creative solution' to resolve their conflict over the cleaning of their room. Therefore, options A and B are the correct answers.
Matt and Joel are equal partners in the MJ Partnership. For the current year ended December 31, the partnership has book income of $80,000, which includes the following deductions: (1) guaranteed payments (salaries) to partners: Matt, $35,000; and Joel, $25,000; and (2) charitable contributions, $6,000. The book income amount does not include any sales of capital assets or Sec. 1231 assets or any taxminusexempt income. Based on the above information, what amount should be reported as ordinary income on the partnership return?
Answer:
$86,000
Explanation:
A partnership is a pass through entity that is not taxed directly, but instead its partners are taxed. Even the partners' salaries are recorded as drawings, not salary expense.
The partnership's total ordinary income = book income + any donations or contributions to charities = $80,000 + $6,000 = $86,000
Which of the following statements generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists? a. Increases in the money supply shift aggregate demand to the right. b. In the long run, increases in the money supply increase prices, but not output. c. Recessions are associated with decreases in consumption, investment, and employment. d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.
Answer:
d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.
Explanation:
Suggesting that the government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists because the process of implementing fiscal policy usually experiences lag as it is being slowed down by the political system (bureaucracy) of checks and balances.
Fiscal policy is the use of government expenditures, revenues and tax policies to influence macroeconomic conditions such as employment, inflation and Aggregate Demand (ADl in a specific country.
The benefits of fiscal policy is that investments, savings and growth is usually influenced in the long-run while it basically influences aggregate demand for goods and services in the short-run.

Hardware is adding a new product line that will require an investment of $ 1 comma 476 comma 000. Managers estimate that this investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows of $ 300 comma 000 the first year, $ 290 comma 000 the second year, and $ 240 comma 000 each year thereafter for eight years. Assume the project has no residual value. Compute the ARR for the investment. Round to two places
Answer:
42,51%
Explanation:
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = Average Profits / Average Investment
Calculation of Average Profits
Average Profit = Sum of Profits / Number of Years
= (300,000+290,000+240,000×8)/10
= $2,510,000 / 8
= $313,750
Calculation of Average Investment
Average Investment = Initial Investment + Scrape Value / 2
= $1,476,000/2
= $738,000
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = $313,750/$738,000×100
= 42,51%
elb Company currently manufactures 50,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $2.95 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $67,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $61,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.90 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 50,000 units and buying 50,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
Incremental Cost of Making Product
Variable costs are $2.95 per unit and 50,000 units are to be made. Total Variable Cost is therefore,
= 2.95 * 50,000
= $147,500
Fixed costs associated with the production are$ 67,000 so added tl the variable costs is,
= 147,500 + 67,000
= $214,500
$214,500 is the cost making the product.
Cost of Buying Product
Component can be bought for $3.90 per unit. 50,000 units to be bought gives,
= 50,000 * 3.9
= $195,000
Cost of buying is $195,000
Decision
Company should buy the component as it spends less in buying it than I making it.
Note - Allocated fixed costs were not included in calculation because they will be there regardless of the decision. Hence the term, incremental costs.
Answer:
elb Company
a) Incremental Cost of making 50,000 units:
Variable costs = $2.95 x 50,000 = $147,500
Avoidable fixed costs = $67,000
Total = $214,500
b) Incremental Cost of buying 50,000
Buy-in costs =- $3.90 x 50,000 = $195,000
c) The company should buy this component from the outside supplier.
Explanation:
In make or buy decisions, only variable and avoidable costs are taken into consideration. Unavoidable fixed costs are sunk costs which must be incurred irrespective of the choice made.
Therefore, the unavoidable allocated fixed costs of $61,500 should not be taken into consideration. Afterall, no matter the decision, it would still be incurred and allocated.
On January 1, 2021, the Blackstone Corporation purchased a tract of land (site number 11) with a building for $600,000. Additionally, Blackstone paid a real estate brokerâs commission of $36,000, legal fees of $6,000, and title insurance of $18,000. The closing statement indicated that the land value was $500,000 and the building value was $100,000. Shortly after acquisition, the building was razed at a cost of $75,000.
Blackstone entered into a $3,000,000 fixed-price contract with Barnett Builders, Inc., on March 1, 2021, for the construction of an office building on land site 11. The building was completed and occupied on September 30, 2022. Additional construction costs were incurred as follows:
Plans, specifications, and blueprints .....................$ 12,000
Architectsâ fees for design and supervision ............95,000
To finance the construction cost, Blackstone borrowed $3,000,000 on March 1, 2021. The loan is payable in 10 annual installments of $300,000 plus interest at the rate of 14%. Blackstoneâs average amounts of accumulated building construction expenditures were as follows:
For the period March 1 to December 31, 2021 ...........$ 900,000
For the period January 1 to September 30, 2022 .......2,300,000
Required:
1. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022.
2. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022.
Answer:
Blackstone Corporation
1. A schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022:
Cost of Land = $600,000
Broker's Commission = $36,000
Legal Fees = $6,000
Title Insurance = $18,000
Razing of old building = $75,000
Total = $735,000
2. A schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022:
Payment to contractor for building = $3,000,000
Plans, specifications, and blueprints = $12,000
Architect's fees (design & supervision = $95,000
Capitalized Interest ($3m x14%/10 x 2) = $84,000
Total = $3,191,000
Explanation:
a) The cost of land to recognize includes the actual cost for the parcel of land, including the building which was razed. All other expenses incurred ordinarily and necessarily in order to put the land to its intended use are also capitalized. The costs for the broker's commission, legal fees, title insurance, and razing of old building were incurred ordinarily and necessarily for the land and are therefore capitalized in determining the value of the land.
b) The capitalized interest portion for the building is the interests paid to date. The contractor's fee, payments for plans, architect's fee, and interests are included as costs of the building.
