Answer:

The answer is B. the selling price minus desired profit

Explanation:

The formula for target costing is:

Selling price minus desired profit(profit margin).

Target costing is one of the tools used by management to determine the cost at which a product will be sold for at every stage of its life-cycle.

One of the advantages of target costing is that it enables firms to think about the best way to produce a product at the lowest possible costs

Answer:

Option B. He will win

Explanation:

If Samuel is desiring to sue his employer in a circuit court because he thinks that the employer was negligent then he will have to sue under negligence Act, which says that the employer is obliged to take all necessary precautions and if found negligent then the court may apply contributory negligent theory as well as comparative negligent theory. These two negligent theories means that the employer was partly responsible for injury, which means that this would result in compensation to Samuel.

Hence it is more likely that Samuel will win the case.

It is likely that if Samuel sues ABCD Corporation in a circuit court under a negligence theory of recovery, a. he will lose.

The question to ask is, is ABCD Corporation negligent in selling widgets? No. Is it the case that the corporation's sale of widgets caused Samuel to fall off a ladder while he was stocking them at the Michigan location? No.

For Samuel to be successful in the circuit court, he must prove that ABCD Corporation acted negligently with its sales of widgets, especially:

Thus, based on the above, Samuel will lose the case because the corporation was not negligent for selling widgets nor for the fall of Samuel from the ladder.

Answer:

common stock = $80,308

Explanation:

assets = liabilities + equity

current balance:

$260,881 = $150,673 + $110,208

$110,208 = common stock + retained earnings = $57,508 + $52,700

next year:

net income = $44,200

dividends = $12,000

assets = $260,881 + $55,000 = $315,881

liabilities = $150,673

equity = $315,881 - $150,673 = $165,208

retained earnings = $52,700 + $44,200 - $12,000 = $84,900

common stock = $165,208 - $84,900 = $80,308

Answer:

the bond is trading at a discount

Explanation:

There is an inverse relationship between the yield and the price of the bond.

As the yield goes up, the price of the bond goes down and as the yield goes down, the price of the bond goes up.

The yield - 10%, is greater than the coupon rate - 9%, the price will be less than the par value, and we say that the bond is trading at a discount.

Yield to Maturity =15.6%

Explanation:

The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond

The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:  

YM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)  

YM-Yield to maturity-  

C- annual coupon  

F- Face Value  

P- Current Price  

n- number of years

This research method is also been seen as the type where theory is typically provided as a set of related variables express by some form of formal logic, proven empirically to be significant.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The three organizations would be OSHA, NIOSH, and NACOSH.

OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It tries to ensure that the workers labor under the proper safety and health conditions in their workplace.

NIOSH stands for the National Instituto for Occupational Safety and Health. This organization basically is dedicated to researching to know the working conditions of workers in America and make recommendations.

NACOSH stands for the National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health. It functions as an adviser or counselor to the Department of Labor on safety and security issues.

These three can definitely be used to improve my ability to perform my duties as a safety and health professional in that they include a series of recommendations, programs, and educational tips to be applied in the workplace and diminish the possibility of accidents or how to react in case of one.

Answer:

-28.1%

Explanation:

Calculation for what would a​ 30% loss next year be outside the​ 95% confidence interval for the​ portfolio

The standard deviation of 95% confident will be 2

The first step is to find the Upper tail using this formula

Upper tail= Average return percentage +(Standard deviation of 95% confident *Standard deviation of its returns)

Let plug in the formula

Upper tail=0.113+(2*0.197)

Upper tail =0.113+0.394

Upper tail=0.507*100

Upper tail =50.7%

Second step is to find the Lower tail using this formula

Lower tail=Average return percentage -(Standard deviation of 95% confident *Standard deviation of its returns)

Let plug in the formula

Upper tail=0.113-(2*0.197)

Upper tail =0.113-0.394

Upper tail=-0.281*100

Upper tail =28.1%

Based on the above calculation the lower tail was -28.1% which means that it wouldn't in any way loss more than the 30% of it value next year outside the​ 95% confidence interval for the portfolio

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

D

Explanation:

average rate of return = average net income / average book value

an advantage of average rate of return is that it is easy to calculate.

its disadvantages include :

a.The average rate of return method does not consider the expected timing of the expected cash flows like the NPV and IRR method.

b.The average rate of return method does not use present values.

c.The average rate of return method does not use the expected cash flows from the proposal. it makes use of accounting values instead.

Answer: a corporate website

Explanation: A corporate website is one that is designed to build customer goodwill, collect customer feedback, and supplement other sales channels rather than sell the company's products directly.  It is also known as a brand website.

The question is incomplete:

If the poverty trap were made even more difficult to overcome because a working mother will have extra expenses like transportation and child care that a non-working mother will not face, then:_______.

a. she will have a powerful incentive to work more than one job.

b. the family better off than if she did not work at all.

c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

d. The future is even more attractive.

Answer:

c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

Explanation:

The poverty trap is a situation in which having more income results on losing benefits. In this case, the poverty trap is more difficult to overcome because a working mother will have a salary but this results on her having additional expenses that she would not have if she was not working and this decreases the benefits she gets by having a job. Because of that, the answer is that her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

The other options are not right because she won't have an incentive to work more than one job because that would increase expenses like child care, the family won't be better as a result of the additional expenses and because of that, the future won't be more attractive.

Answer:

c. her economic grains from working will be even smaller.

Explanation:

In economics, the poverty trap refers to certain circumstances that make it very difficult for a poor person to become middle or upper class, or increase their income even if they continue to fall under the poverty line.

Imagine a situation where you work for a very low salary, and besides that, you must spend a large portion of your salary paying for transportation and childcare costs. The gains resulting from your work will decrease compared to a situation where you worked in a business that was located at a walking distance and childcare services were provided for free. The economic equation is simple, the higher the costs, the less the profit.

Answer:

The cost of the equipment is $45,416.

Explanation:

The cost of a newly purchased equipment is the addition of all relevant costs uncured in order to make the equipment ready for use.

The cost of the equipment includes costs such as purchase price, tax paid on the purchase, installation costs, etc.

However, any cost incurred to repair any damage to an equipment during installation is not part of equipment cost. Such repair costs are just ordinary expenses that are charged to the income statement during the period.

Based on the explanation above, the cost of the equipment by Oriole Company can be calculated as follows:

Equipment cost = Purchase price + Sales tax + Freight charges + Installation costs ..................... (1)

Since,

Purchase price = $41,600

Sales tax on the purchase = $2.496.

Freight charges = $624

Installation costs = $696.

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Equipment cost = $41,600 + $2,496 + $624 + $696 = $45,416

Therefore, the cost of the equipment is $45,416.

Answer:

a. Current Ratio for the current year = 1.18

b. Current Ratio for the preceding year = 0.97

c. Quick Ratio for the current year = 0.98

d. Quick Ratio for the preceding year = 0.76

e. Working Capital for the current year = $3,231

f. Working Capital for the preceding year = –$513

Explanation:

Based on the information provided in the question, we first state the following formula to be used before answering the question:

Current asset = Cash and cash equivalents + Short-term investments, at cost + Accounts and notes receivable, net + Inventories + Prepaid expenses and other current assets ................... (1)

Current liabilities = Short-term obligations + Accounts payable ................. (2)

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities ............................ (3)

Quick Ratio = (Current assets - Inventory) / Current liabilities ............... (4)

Working capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities ........................... (5)

We now calculate the answers as follows:

a. What is the Current Ratio for the current year?

Using equation (1), we have:

Current asset for the current year (in millions) = $8,297 + $422 + $7,041 + $3,581 + $1,479 = $20,820

Using equation (2), we have:

Current liabilities for the current year (in millions) = $4,815 + $12,774 = $17,589

Using equation (3), we have:

Current ratio for the current year = $20,820 / $17,589 = 1.18

b. What is the Current Ratio for the preceding year?

Using equation (1), we have:

Current asset for the preceding year (in millions) = $4,067 + $458 + $6,912 + $3,827 + $2,377 = $17,641

Using equation (2), we have:

Current liabilities for the preceding year (in millions) = $6,205 + $11,949 = $18,154

Using equation (3), we have:

Current ratio for the preceding year = $17,641 / 18,154 = 0.97

c. What is the Quick Ratio for the current year?

Using equation (4) and calculations from part a, we have:

Quick Ratio for the current year = ($20,820 -  3,581) / $17,589 = 0.98

d. What is the Quick Ratio for the preceding year?

Using equation (4) and calculations from part b, we have:

Quick Ratio for the preceding year = ($17,641 - 3,827) / $18,154 = 0.76

e. What is the Working Capital for the current year?

Using equation (5) and calculations from part a, we have:

Working Capital for the current year = $20,820 -  $17,589 =$3,231

f. What is the Working Capital for the preceding year?

Using equation (5) and calculations from part b, we have:

Working Capital for the preceding year = $17,641 - $18,154 = –$513

Explanation:

Answer:

1. The difference between the total cost and the total variable cost is a constant. - TRUE

The difference between the 2 is indeed constant and is the Total Fixed cost which does not change throughout the production process.

2. When total cost or total variable cost is​ increasing, there are increasing marginal returns to the variable input. - FALSE

With only the total cost or total variable cost given, it is not possible to tell how the Marginal returns to the input is faring.

3. Changes in fixed costs do not affect the shape or placement of the total cost curve. - FALSE

Fixed costs are part of the total cost curve so if they change they will impart the total cost curve. An increase may not change the shape but it will definitely change the placement of the Total cost curve.

4. The marginal cost is the slope of the total cost curve or the total variable cost curve. - TRUE

The slope of either the Total cost or variable cost curves are the graphical representations of a change in either which is the definition of the Marginal cost.

5. The average cost curve is everywhere above the average variable cost curve. - TRUE

As the average cost is the sum of both the average fixed and average variable costs, it will always be higher than either so it is higher than the Average variable cost.

6. The marginal cost at a particular output level is the slope of a line from the origin to the corresponding point on the cost curve. - FALSE

Marginal cost measures the difference in cost from one unit to the next. A line from the origin to the corresponding point would have measured for all units produced making it the Average cost not Marginal Cost.

Answer:

58,500

Explanation:

Given the information above, the formula for Inventory loss is

Inventory loss = Opening inventory + Purchases - Cost of sales

Where,

Cost of sales = $432,000 × 100 ÷ 160

=$270,000

Since opening inventory = $153,000

Purchases = $175,500

Therefore,

Inventory loss = $153,000 + $175,500 - $270,000

= $58,500

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.

Answer: 1.02

Answer: C. Involve the team in creating ground rules for the meetings.

Explanation:

The meetings have seemingly descended into anarchy and as such needs to be controlled in an orderly manner to make any sort of progress. One way this can be done is through the setting of ground rules. These rules need to be accepted and inclusive of people's qualms or else the arguments will continue.

When the rules are made therefore, the inputs of the entire team should be taken into consideration and this is what the Project manager needs to do. Setting all inclusive rules also helps the team understand each other better during the discussions are point of views will be seen and understood better.
