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.

Answers

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.

Goshford Company produces a single product and has capacity to produce 105,000 units per month. Costs to produce its current sales of 84,000 units follow. The regular selling price of the product is $126 per unit. Management is approached by a new customer who wants to purchase 21,000 units of the product for $77.40 per unit. If the order is accepted, there will be no additional fixed manufacturing overhead and no additional fixed selling and administrative expenses. The customer is not in the company’s regular selling territory, so there will be a $7.60 per unit shipping expense in addition to the regular variable selling and administrative expenses. Per Unit Costs at 84,000 Units Direct materials $ 12.50 $ 1,050,000 Direct labor 15.00 1,260,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 14.00 1,176,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 17.50 1,470,000 Variable selling and administrative expenses 14.00 1,176,000 Fixed selling and administrative expenses 13.00 1,092,000 Totals $ 86.00 $ 7,224,000 Calculate the combined total net income if the company accepts the offer to sell additional units at the reduced price of $77.40 per unit.

Answers

Answer:

Net income= $4,836,200

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Offer:

21,000 units for $77.4

An increase in variable cost= $7.6 per unit

Direct materials $ 12.50 $ 1,050,000

Direct labor 15.00 1,260,000

Variable manufacturing overhead 14.00 1,176,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead 17.50 1,470,000

Variable selling and administrative expenses 14.00 1,176,000

Fixed selling and administrative expenses 13.00 1,092,000

Totals $ 86.00 $ 7,224,000

First, we need to calculate the effect on the income of accepting the offer:

Effect on income= 21,000*77.4 - 21,000*(12.5 + 15 + 14 + 14 + 7.6)

Effect on income= 1,625,400 - 1,325,100

Effect on income= 300,300

Net income= 84,000*140 + 300,300 - 7,224,000

Net income= $4,836,200

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?

Answers

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%.

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.

Answers

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.

Great Adventures Problem
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]
Tony and Suzie see the need for a rugged all-terrain vehicle to transport participants and supplies. They decide to purchase a used Suburban on July 1, 2022, for $15,600. They expect to use the Suburban for five years and then sell the vehicle for $6,300. The following expenditures related to the vehicle were also made on July 1, 2022:_________.
1. The company pays $2,700 to GEICO for a one-year insurance policy.
2. The company spends an extra $6,600 to repaint the vehicle, placing the Great Adventures logo on the front hood, back, and both sides. An additional $2,900 is spent on a deluxe roof rack and a trailer hitch.
3. The painting, roof rack, and hitch are all expected to increase the future benefits of the vehicle for Great Adventures. In addition, on October 22, 2022, the company pays $2,200 for basic vehicle maintenance related to changing the oil, replacing the windshield wipers, rotating the tires, and inserting a new air filter.
Great Adventures
4. Record the depreciation expense and any other adjustments related to the vehicle on December 31, 2022. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The Journal entry is shown below:-

Amount should be capitalized for new vehicle = Cost + Painting and new logo cost + Deluxe Roof rack and trailer hitch

= $15,600 + $6,600 + $2,900

= $25,100

We took the cost of painting and deluxe roof and trailer hitch costs into account as they are supposed to increase the vehicle's future benefits.

Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Number of Years

= ($25,100 - $6,300) ÷ 5

= $3,760 per year

In the year 2022 vehicle is used only for 6 months (July to Dec), depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 is

= $3,760 × 6 ÷ 12

= $1,880

So, the Journal entry is

Depreciation expense Dr, $1,880

         To Accumulated Depreciation $1,880

(Being depreciation provided for the year 2022 is recorded)

Therefore for recording the depreciation provided for the year 2022 we simply debited the depreciation expenses while we credited the accumulated depreciation.

The journal entry will include a depreciation account as well as accumulated depreciation.

What is depreciation?

Depreciation can be defined as the amount deducted from the asset because of the wear and tear of the asset after its use Which will reduce the price of the asset.

Capitalization for a new car should be calculated as follows: Cost + Painting and Logo Cost + Deluxe Roof Rack and Trailer Hitch

= $15,600 + $6,600 + $2,900

= $25,100

We factored in the price of the painting, a luxurious roof, and a trailer hitch because such expenses should raise the car's potential future value.

Depreciation is calculated as (Cost - Salvage Value) x Years.

= ($25,100 - $6,300) ÷ 5

= $3,760 annually

For the year ending December 31, 2022, the depreciation expense for the automobile operated for only 6 months (July to December) is

= $3,760 × 6 ÷ 12

= $1,880

The journal entry is therefore

depreciation costs (dr.)  $1,880

accumulated depreciation     $1,880

c1) Cawley should not eliminate the Stunner product line.

c2) Net income would decrease from $98,000 to $67,000 if the Stunner product line is eliminated.

Explanation:

a) The decision to be made is whether to eliminate a product line or not.  In making such decisions, the relevant costs to be considered are avoidable costs.  Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable and should not be taken into account.

b) Stunner makes a Net Income of $31,000 without the allocated common fixed expenses.  This shows that the allocated common fixed expenses is actually causing Stunner to record Net Loss.  And when Stunner is eliminated the company is not better off.

c) Allocation of Fixed Expenses based on Sales:

Tingler = 296/800 * $290,000 = $107,300 Plus direct cost of $29,000 = $136,300

Shocker = 504/800 * $290,000 = $182,700 Plus direct of of $79,000 = $261,700

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?

Answers

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.

Scenario 28-1 Suppose that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the entire adult population of Mankiwland can be categorized as follows: 25 million people employed, 3 million people unemployed, 1 million discouraged workers, and 1 million people who are either students, homemakers, retirees, or other people not seeking employment. Refer to Scenario 28-1. What is the unemployment rate?

Answers

Answer:

10.7%

Explanation:

Solution:

Recall that:

The Reports from Bureau of labor statistics is shown as follows:

Employed people = 25 million

Unemployed people = 3 million

Discouraged workers = 1 million

Workers or Homemakers or retirees, or students = 1 million

The next step from this scenario is to find out the unemployment rate

Now,

The rate of unemployed =  (unemployed x 100 ) / labor force

= 300/28

=10.7%

On December 31, 2019, Irey Co. has $3,000,000 of short-term notes payable due on February 14, 2020. On February 8, 2020, Irey borrowed $1,200,000 (long-term loan) from County Bank and used $1,000,000 additional cash to liquidate $2,200,000 of the short-term notes payable. The amount of the short-term notes payable that should be reported as current liabilities on the December 31, 2019 balance sheet which is issued on March 5, 2020 is

Answers

Answer:

$1,800,000

Explanation:

Given short term notes payable = $3,000,000

Total amount used to liquidate short term notes = $2,200,000

Balance = $3,000,000 - $2,200,000 = $800,000

The additional $1,200,000 which is borrowed from Country Bank will not increase the short term notes payable because it's a long term credit

The additional $1,000,000 cash used will now be added to the balance amount

Amount to be reported as current liabilities = $1,000,000 + $800,000

= $1,800,000

Therefore the amount of the short-term notes payable that should be reported as current liabilities on the December 31, 2019 balance sheet which is issued on March 5, 2020 is $1,800,000

The following information was drawn from the balance sheets of the Kansas and Montana companies: Kansas Montana Current assets $ 59,000 $ 78,000 Current liabilities 40,000 43,000 Required a. Compute the current ratio for each company. b. Which company has the greater likelihood of being able to pay its bills? c. Assume that both companies have the same amount of total assets. Speculate as to which company would produce the higher return-on-assets ratio.

Answers

Answer:

a) Current ratio for Kansas company is  1.475

Current ratio for Montana company is 1.814

b) Since the current ratio for the Montana company is more than that of the Kansas company which shows better liquidity, the Montana company has the greater likelihood of being able to pay its bills.

c) Kansas company would produce the higher return-on-assets ratio.

Explanation:

                                    Current Assets           Current liabilities

Kansas Company           $ 59,000                     $ 40,000

Montana Company        $ 78,000                      $ 43,000

a) To calculate the current ratio of A company

Current ratio = [tex]\frac{Current Assets}{Current Liabilities}[/tex]

Therefore current ratio for Kansas company = $ 59,000 ÷ $ 40,000 = 1.475

Current ratio for Montana company =  $ 78,000 ÷ $ 43,000 = 1.814

With your team you are working on a project that is supposed to be completed in FOUR months. You planned that EACH MONTH you are going to spend $15000 on the work for the month. At the end of the FIRST month you have spent the expected amount of $15000, but you have completed only two thirds (2/3) of the work. Answer the following questions: a) What is the Earned Value at the end of the first month. b) Calculate the Cost Variance and the Schedule Variance c) Calculate the Cost Performance Index and the Schedule Performance Index d) Analyze the progress of the project. Is the project behind or on schedule

Answers

Answer:

(a). $10000.

(b). Cost variance and Scheduled variance = -$5000.

(c). 0.66 and 0.66.

(d). task is behind schedule and the task is over budget.

Explanation:

(a). Earned value at the end of the first month can be calculated by using the formula below;

= A × B.

Where A = first month budget and B = rate at which the work is getting completed.

Earned value at the end of the first month = 15000× (2/3)

Earned value at the end of the first month = $10000

(b). The Cost Variance and the Schedule Variance can be calculated using the formula below;

Cost variance = Earned value at the end of the first month - monthly budget

Cost variance= 10000 - 15000

Cost variance = -$5000

Also, the Scheduled variance = Earned value at the end of the first month - monthly budget

= 10000 - 15000

= - $5000

(c). The cost Performance Index and the Schedule Performance Index can be calculated by using the formula below;

Cost performnace index = 10000 / 15000

= 0.66

Schedule performance index = the amount Earned / the amount that was planned.

Schedule performance index = 10000 / 15000

= 0.66.

(d). Since both schedule performance index and the Cost performance index are less than one that is 0.66, task is behind schedule and the task is over budget respectively.

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.

Answers

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.

Now consider the case in which the manufacturer offers a marginal unit quantity discount for the plywood.

What is the optimal lot size for Prefab given this pricing structure? How much cycle inven

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We can use the following method to solve the given problem

We are given following

Annual demand,

D = 20000*12

D = 240,000 sqft

Fixed order cost, is given as

S = $ 400

Considering the unit cost, is given as

C = $ 1

Holding cost, H = 1*20% = $ 0.2

EOQ = sqrt(2DS/H)

= √(2*240000*400/0.2)

= 30,984 sq ft

This is higher than 20,000 and less than 40,000 sq ft. For this reason, the applicable price for this quantity is $ 0.98

For C = $ 0.98, holding cost, H = 0.98*20% = $ 0.196

Revised EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.196) = 31,298 sq ft

Total annual cost of EOQ policy = D*C + H*Q/2 + S*D/Q

= 240000*0.98 + 0.196*31298/2 + 400*240000/31298

= $ 241,334.5

Now consider the next level of price, C = $ 0.96

Holding cost, H = 0.96*20% = $ 0.192

EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.192)

= 31633 sqft

This amount is will not be feasible for this price, because it requires a minimum order of 40000 sqft.

Therefore, Q = 40,000

Total annual cost = 240000*0.96 + 0.192*40000/2 + 400*240000/40000

Total annual cost = $ 236,640

Total annual cost is lowest for order quantity of 40,000 sq ft.

1) Optimal lot size = 40,000 sq ft.

2) the annual cost of this policy

= $ 236,640

3) the cycle inventory of plywood at Prefab = Q/2 = 40000/2

At prefeb= 20,000 sq ft

4) let's assume the manufacturer sells all plywood at $ 0.96, then

Holding cost, H = 0.96*20%

H= $ 0.192

EOQ = sqrt(2*240000*400/0.192)

EOQ = 31633 sqft

Total annual cost = 240000*0.96 + 0.192*31633/2 + 400*240000/31633

Total annual cost = $ 236,471.6

Difference in total annual cost = 236640 - 236471.6 = $ 168.4

Which of the following is false? Economists who advocate discretionary monetary policy argue that it is more likely to achieve the desired economic results because the monetary authority has the flexibility to shape the best monetary policy to the existing circumstances. Here is an example of zero crowding out: The government spends $100 more and the private sector doesn’t spend any less. Here is an example of complete crowding out: The government spends $100 more and the private sector spends $100 less. Not all economists believe that rule-based monetary policy is preferable to discretionary monetary policy. none of the above

Answers

Answer: None of the above

Explanation:

All of the above are correct.

For option A, Economists who advocate discretionary monetary policy do indeed believe that the monetary authority using this policy is more flexible to shape the best monetary policy to the existing circumstances.

Option B is also correct because Crowding out occurs when the government increases investment by borrowing which leaves less money for the private sector to borrow so they spend less. The government spent money here yet the private sector did not spend less so it is Zero Crowing out.

Option C by option B's explanation holds true because the entire amount the Government increased by was denied the private sector.

Option D is also true as not all Economists prefer rule-based monetary policy to discretionary monetary policy.

They are all true.

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.

Answers

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

c. Assume that neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 6 percent of capital depreciates each year.

Using your answer from part b and the steady-state condition that investment equals depreciation, find the steady-state level of capital per worker (k∗) , income per worker (y∗) , and consumption per worker (c∗) for each country.

Answers

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Explanation:

Note that the production function of bother country = Y=F(K,L) = K L c : k^1/2 L^1/2.

Thus Y/L = b; b = k^1/2 L^1/2/ L.

b = k^1/2.

From the question we are given that L = 6% = 0.06.

Country A saves 15% = 15/100 = 0.15 and country B saves 23% = 23/100 = 0.23.

For country A,

(a). the steady state;

∆k = 0 = y - dk.

0 = 0.15 × k^1/2 - 0.06k.

K^1/2 = 2.5, k* = 6.25

(b). y = K^1/2 = (6.25)^1/2.

y* = 2.5

(c). C = 2.5 - (0.15 × 2.5) = 2.5 - 0.375.

C* = 2.125.

Then, for COUNTRY B.

(a). ∆k = 0 = y - dk.

0 = 0.25 × k^1/2 - 0.06k.

K^1/2 = 4.167, k* = 17.36

(b). y = K^1/2 = (17.36)^1/2.

y* = 4.167.

(c). C = 4.167 - (0.25 × 4.167) = 2.5 - 0.375.

C* = 3.127.

C* = 2.125.

The stock of Cooper Corporation is​ 70% owned by Carole and​ 30% owned by​ Carole's brother, Chris. During​ 2017, Chris transferred property​ (basis of​ $100,000 and FMV of​ $120,000) as a contribution to the capital of Cooper. During February​ 2018, Cooper adopted a plan of liquidation and subsequently made a pro rata distribution of the property back to Carole and Chris. At the time of the​ liquidation, the property had an FMV of​ $80,000. What amount of loss can be recognized by Cooper on the distribution of​ property?

Answers

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

Since 100% of Cooper Corporation's stock were owned by Carole and Chris (who are siblings), then no one can recognize any loss or gain from the contribution of property (nor the distribution of property). Under section 351, no gain or loss can be recognized for the contribution of property in exchange for stocks in a controlled corporation.

Since the contribution was made through a carryover basis transaction less than 5 years before the liquidation, the distribution is carried out in the same way.

Galla Inc. needs to determine a price for a new product. Galla desires a 25% markup on the total cost of the product. Galla expects to sell 6420 units. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 23​ Variable administrative cost per unit 25​ Total fixed overhead 46,500​ Total fixed administrative 30,540​ Using the total cost method what price should Galla charge?

Answers

Answer:

The price Galla should charge is $75

Explanation:

Solution

Now

The total cost = variable product cost + variable administrative cost + fixed overhead + fixed administrative

= ($23 * 6,420) + ($25 * 6,420) + $46,500 + $30,540

= $147,660 + $160,500 + $46,500 + $30,540

= $385,200

Thus,

The total cost per unit = Total cost / units

= $385,200 / 6,420 units

= $60

Hence

The selling price should charge = Cost per unit * 1.25

= $60 * 1.25

= $75
