Beth, an employer, wants to hire someone for a strenuous job that requires a great deal of training, which will take place over the course of several years. The applicant who appears most qualified is 58 years old; however, Beth is concerned that the applicant will not be able to handle the physical demands of the position in the long run. Further, she is concerned that the applicant will only continue working for several more years before she retires. Does Beth hire the applicant anyway
Answer:
Beth should not hire the applicant.
Explanation:
Based on common hiring practices, Beth should not hire the applicant. Mainly due to the applicant's age. It costs a company a large amount of money to properly train an employee in order to have them be as efficient as possible when working for the company. This is regardless of their current experience, therefore if a candidate is as old as this particular candidate and is already thinking of retiring then it will be a waste of company resources to hire the individual candidate. Instead, Beth should go for someone with the same experience/skills but will instead be with the company for the long term.

Compute depreciation expense on the machine for the year ending December 31, 2020, and the year ending December 31, 2021, using the following methods. (Round depreciation per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and final answers to decimal places, e-g. 45,892.)
2020 2021
(a) Straight-line
(b) Units-of-output
(c) Working hours
(d) Sum-of-the-years'digits
(e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate) $
Answer:
(a) Straight-line
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense per year = $100,800 / 7 = $14,400
depreciation expense 2020 = $14,400
depreciation expense 2021 = $14,400
(b) Units-of-output
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense per unit = $100,800 / 630,000 = $0.16
depreciation expense 2020 = $0.16 x 59,400 = $9,504
depreciation expense 2021 = $0.16 x 51,800 = $8,288
(c) Working hours
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense per working hour = $100,800 / 50,400 = $2
depreciation expense 2020 = $2 x 6,480 = $12,960
depreciation expense 2021 = $2 x 5,940 = $11,880
(d) Sum-of-the-years' digits
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense 2020 = $100,800 x 7/28 = $25,200
depreciation expense 2021 = $100,800 x 6/28 = $21,600
(e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate)
depreciation expense 2020 = $100,800 x 2/7 = $28,800
depreciation expense 2021 = $72,000 x 2/7 = $20,571
Imprudential, Inc., has an unfunded pension liability of $573 million that must be paid in 20 years. To assess the value of the firm’s stock, financial analysts want to discount this liability back to the present. If the relevant discount rate is 6.6 percent, what is the present value of this liability?
Answer:
$159.59 million
Explanation:
The present value of the liability is the future value of the obligation which in this case is $573 million discounted at the 6.6% appropriate discount chosen by the analyst as shown below:
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV=the present value of the obligation=the unknown
FV=$573 million
r=discount rate=6.6%
n=number of years before the liability becomes due=20
PV=$573 million/(1+6.6%)^20
PV=$573 million/1.066^20
PV=$573 million/3.590410405
PV=$159.59 million

The basic economic questions that any provider of goods must ask are:
• What will be produced?
• Who will produce it?
• For whom will it be produced?
In which type of economy are these decisions made solely by the
government?
A. Mixed
B. Free
C. Command
D. Traditional
Answer:
C. Command
Explanation:
In a command economy, the government owns and controls all the factors of production. All the factors of production are owned and controlled by the government. The government does all the productions through its agencies.
The government prepares central economic plans that guide the country's economic activities. The central plans indicate what goods and services will be produced, their quantities, and prices. The plans also dictate how distributions will be done in the country.

Don James purchased a new automobile for $21,000. Don made a cash down payment of $5,250 and agreed to pay the remaining balance in 30 monthly installments, beginning one month from the date of purchase. Financing is available at a 24% annual interest rate.
Required:
Calculate the amount of the required monthly payment.
Answer:
monthly payment. = $703.24 per month
Explanation:
given data
Cost of auto = $21000
Cash Down payment = $5250
Loan amount = PV = 21000-5250
loan amount = $15,750
time period = 30 monthly
Rate = 24% pa = 24÷12 = 2% pm
solution
we get here monthly payment that is express as
monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{P\times r\times (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1}[/tex] ...................1
put here value and we get
monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{15750\times 0.02\times (1+0.02)^{30}}{(1+0.02)^{30}-1}[/tex]
solve it we get
monthly payment. = $703.24 per month
Mocha Company manufactures a single product by a continuous process, involving three production departments. The records indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 1 were $100,000, $125,000, and $150,000, respectively. The records further indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 2 were $55,000, $65,000, and $80,000, respectively. In addition, work in process at the beginning of the period for Department 1 totaled $75,000, and work in process at the end of the period totaled $60,000.

D. Work in Process--Department 2 100,000
Materials 100,000
Answer:
A. Work in Process--Department 2 55,000
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Work in Process - Department 2 Dr $55,000
To Materials $55,000
(Being the recording of the flow of cost for the direct material is done)
Here the work in process would be debited as it increased the asset and credited the material as it decreased the asset
Therefore the first option is correct

Kendra Corporation uses a process-cost accounting system. The company adds direct materials and direct labor at the start of its production process; overhead cost is incurred evenly throughout manufacturing. The firm has no beginning work-in-process inventory; its ending work in process is 40% complete. Which of the following sets of percentages would be used to calculate the correct number of equivalent units in the ending work-in-process inventory?
a. Materials, 100%; labor, 100%; overhead cost, 40%.
b. Materials, 100%; labor, 100%; overhead cost, 100%.
c. Materials, 100%; labor 40%; overhead cost, 40%.
d. Materials, 40%; labor, 40%; overhead cost, 60%.
e. Materials, 40%; labor, 40%; overhead cost, 100%.
Answer:
a. Materials, 100%; labor, 100%; overhead cost, 40%.
Explanation:
The work in Process have already passed the mark at which Materials and Labor are added, that is the start of its production process so these are both 100% complete. Overheads are 40 % complete, which is the extent of work done on them since they occur evenly.
Sue views hot dogs (H) and hot dog buns (B) as perfect complements in her consumption, and the corners of her indifference curves follow the 45-degree line: H-B. Suppose the price of hot dogs is $5 per package (8 hot dogs), the price of buns is $3 per package (8 hot dog buns), and Sue's budget is $48 per month. What is her optimal choice under this scenario?
A. 6 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns.
B. 6 packages of hot dogs and 8 packages of buns.
C. 8 packages of hot dogs and 8 packages of buns.
D. 8 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
a budget constraint is the total amount of goods and services an individual can buy given the price of the products and the income of the consumer.
Sue is constrained by her income. Thus, she must spend within $48
The equation for this is :
$5H + $3B = $48
where
H = hot dogs
B = Hot dog buns
(5 x 6 ) + (3 x 6 ) = $48
Suppose the demand function for good X is given by: where is the quantity demanded of good X, is the price of good X, and is the price of good Y, which is related to good X. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good X is constant at $10 and the price of good Y decreases from $10 to $8, the cross price elasticity of demand is about:_________
Answer:
Quantity demanded is -0.4
Explanation:
Quantity demanded is -0.4 if the prices decline from $8 to $10. The cross price elasticity is the change in quantity demanded for the goods when the price of other goods changes. The price change can be minor and the quantity demanded change can be high.

Suppose Paolo and Sharon are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Paolo chooses Right and Sharon chooses Right, Paolo will receive a payoff of 5 and Sharon will receive a payoff of 4.
The only dominant strategy in this game is for _________ to choose __________.
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses __________ and Sharon chooses _______.
Question Completion:
Matrix payoff:
Sharon
Left Right
Paolo Left 8, 3 4, 4
Right 5, 3 5, 4
Answer:
The only dominant strategy in this game is for ___Paolo______ to choose ____Right______.
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses ____Right______ and Sharon chooses __ Right_____.
Explanation:
a) Paolo's dominant strategy is the strategy that always provides the greater utility to Paolo, no matter what Sharon's strategy is. In this case, the dominant strategy for Paolo is to choose RIGHT always.
b) The Nash Equilibrium concept determines the optimal solution in a non-cooperative game in which each player (e.g. Paolo and Sharon) lacks any incentive to change their initial strategies. This implies that each player can achieve their desired outcomes by not deviating from their initial strategies since each player's strategy is optimal when considering the decisions of the other player.

Explanation:
AudioCables, Inc., is currently manufacturing an adapter that has a variable cost of $0.60 per unit and a selling price of $1.20 per unit. Fixed costs are $14,000. Current sales volume is 30,000 units. The firm can substantially improve the product quality by adding a new piece of equipment at an additional fixed cost of $6,000. Variable costs would increase to $0.75, but sales volume should jump to 50,000 units due to a higher-quality product. a. What is the current profit and proposed profit of the sales of AudioCables
Answer:
The answer is "$4,000 and $2,500"
Explanation:
Formula:
[tex]\text{Profit = Sales - Total cost}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{\text{Selling price}}{unit} \times \text{volume of Sale} - ( \text{Fixed cost} + \frac{\text{Variable cost}}{unit} \times \text{volume of Sale})[/tex]
[tex]= 1.20 \times 30000 - ( 14,000 + 0.6 \times 30,000)\\\\= 36,000 -( 14,000 + 18,000)\\\\= 36,000 - 14,000 - 18,000 \\\\= 36,000 - 32,000 \\\\= \$ 4,000[/tex]
The scenario was revised by installing new audio connection equipment:
The volume of revised sales[tex]= 50,000[/tex]
Fixed cost updated [tex]= \$ 41,000 + \$ 6,000 = \$ 20,000[/tex]
Cost of the updated component [tex]= \frac{\$ 0.75}{unit}[/tex]
Unchanged purchase price/unit [tex]= \frac{\$ 1.2}{unit}[/tex]
[tex]= 1.2 \times 50,000 -(20,000 + 0.75 \times 50,000)\\\\= 60,000 -(20,000 + 37,500)\\\\= 60,000 -(57,500)\\\\= 60,000 -57,500 \\\\ =2,500[/tex]
Audio cable sales are actually profiting = 4,000
Proposal for audio cable sales profit = 2,500
Suppose that a task in a project has the following time estimates: to optimistic completion time 11 weeks tm most likely completion time 14 weeks tp pessimistic completion time 23 weeks Compute the expected task variance. The task expected task variance is weeks. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer:
6 weeks
Explanation:
Optimistic Completion Time - 11 weeks
Most likely completion time - 14 weeks
Pessimistic completion time - 23 weeks
Compute the expected task variance in weeks. Recall that Variance is a measure of dispersion - a measure that shows the distance or spread between or among values of a variable.
Expected Variance is the average of the variance values.
First,
the variance between optimistic CT and most likely CT is (14 - 11) = 3 weeks
Second,
the variance between pessimistic CT and most likely CT is (23 - 14) = 9 weeks
The expected variance is the average of these two values and that's (3 + 9)/2 = 12/2 = 6 weeks
So the expected variance from the mean completion time of 14 weeks is 6 weeks before or 6 weeks after. This accommodates both the optimist and the pessimist.
Economists develop models to A. capture every detail of the real world. B. justify the assumptions they make about%E2%80%8B people's behavior. C. make their arguments more realistic. D. help us understand economic phenomena in the real world.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
An economic model is a caricature of reality. It allows users to observe, understand and predict economic phenomena. Economic models don't capture every detail of the real world
Examples of economic models include :
the production possibility frontierthe Keynesian IS/LM modelthe Mundell-Fleming model.The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.
The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.

3. $28,300
4. $28,300
Explanation:
1. Calculation for What was the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020
Balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020=$10,000/ 10%
Balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020 = $100,000
Therefore the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020 will be $100,000
2. Preparation of the journal entry that Johnson should record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021
2021
Dr Bad debt expense $34,970
Cr Allowance for uncollectible account $34,970
(10%*$166,700 + $18,300)
3. Calculation to Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021
2021 Accounts receivable written off = $10,000 - (-$18,300)
2021 Accounts receivable written off= $28,300
Therefore the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021 will be $28,300
4. In a situation where Johnson used the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021 will be $28,300 calculated as : [$10,000 - (-$18,300) ]

Therefore the Bad debt expense under direct write off method will be $28,300
If you deposit $5,000 4 years from today, how much can you withdraw 10 years from today if interest is 6 percent per year compounded annually?
Answer:
the future value is $7,093
Explanation:
The computation of the future value is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years
= $5,000 × (1 + 0.06)^6
= $5,000 × 1.06^6
= $7,093
Hence, the future value is $7,093

Lincoln Company purchased merchandise from Grandville Corp. on September 30, 2021. Payment was made in the form of a noninterest-bearing note requiring Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400 on each September 30, beginning on September 30, 2024. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.) Required: Calculate the amount at which Lincoln should record the note payable and corresponding purchases on September 30, 2021, assuming that an interest rate of 9% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.
Answer: $16,613
Explanation:
As the noninterest-bearing note required Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400, this is an annuity because it is a constant figure.
The amount that should be recorded is the present value of this amount.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -no. of periods) / rate
= 4,400 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9%)⁻⁶) / 9%
= $19,738
This present value is for September 30, 2023. It needs to be discounted further to September 30, 2021.
= 19,738 / (1 + 9%)²
= $16,613
In the context of using information technologies for a competitive advantage, which statement is true of a top-line strategy? a. It focuses on generating new revenue by offering new products and services. b. It focuses on improving efficiency by reducing overall costs. c. It focuses on helping different market segments achieve technological advancement. d. It focuses on refining operations by using latest technologies.
Answer:
a. It focuses on generating new revenue by offering new products and services.
Explanation:
An information system or technology can be defined as a set of components or computer systems, which is used to collect, store, and process data, as well as dissemination of information, knowledge, and distribution of digital products. Thus, an information system or technology interacts with its environment by receiving data in its raw forms and information in a usable format.
Information technology is an integral part of human life because individuals, organizations, and institutions rely on information technologies in order to perform their duties, functions or tasks and to manage their operations effectively. For example, all organizations make use of information systems for supply chain management, process financial accounts, manage their workforce, and as a marketing channels to reach their customers or potential customers.
Additionally, an information system comprises of five (5) main components;
1. Hardware.
2. Software.
3. Database.
4. Human resources.
5. Telecommunications.
Hence, in the context of using information technologies for a competitive advantage over rivals in the industry, the statement which is true of a top-line strategy is that, it focuses on generating new revenue by offering new products and services. The top-line strategy ensures that the company continues to generate gross revenue or sales.

A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who together produced an average of 100 carts per hour. Workers receive $11 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $12 per hour, while output increased by 4 carts per hour. a. Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure of labor productivity. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
A. Labor productivity before=16 cart per workers-hour
Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour
B. Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour
Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour
Explanation:
A. Computation of labor productivity under each system
Labor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/6 workers
Labor productivity Before=16 cart per workers-hour
Labor productivity After=(100 carts per hour+4 carts per hour)/4 workers
Labor productivity After=(104carts per hour /4 workers
Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour
B. Computation of the multifactor productivity under each system.
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/(6 workers*$11 per hour)+$40 per hour
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/($66 per hour+$40 per hour)
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/$106 per hour
Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour
Multifactor productivity before=(100carts per hour + 4carts per hour)/(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /($66 per hour+$52 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /118per hour
Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

Mohawk Machining, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,400 Units started and completed during the period: 6,500 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
A- 80%.
B- 70%.
C- 60%. - 40%.
D- some other percentage not listed above.
Answer:
C. 60%
Explanation:
Equivalent unit of Materials = 8,000.00
Equivalent unit of Conversion = 7,400.00
Units started and completed = 6,500.00
Since Materials are entered in the beginning it means that out of 8000 Units of Materials 6500 units are in Units started and completed and remaining 1500 Units are in Closing inventory. It also means that 1500 units are in Closing Inventory of Conversion and Equivalent production of conversion part of 1500 Units are 900 Units (7400-6500).
Let % Completion be x
X% of 1500 = 900
X = 900*100/1500
X = 60%.
