Answer: The actual cost of materials was less than the standard cost
Explanation:
Net materials cost variance = Favorable materials price variance + Favorable materials quantity variance
= 380 + (-120 unfavorable)
= 380 - 120
= $260 favorable
As the materials cost variance is favorable, it means that the actual cost of materials was less than what was budgeted for it or rather its standard cost.
Both Eden's company and SAS have cultures that reflect their environments. _______ theory explains this by saying that effective organizations have cultures that are correctly aligned with their external environments.
Answer: Contingent theory
Explanation:
The Contingent theory of management believes that management cannot possibly know the best way to manage the activities of a company because things could go wrong at any time.
The theory goes further to suggest that the best bet that a company has is to try to align its internet environment to its external environment. In other words, it should align its corporate culture with the culture of the environment that it is based in.

An American worker is hired by a German consulting firm operating in New York. They pay him $50,000 in wages. The new worker's contribution is to bring a new client to the firm that buys consulting services for $70,000 . Assume no other new cost was involved in this other than the wage. The client is a Mexican firm located in Mexico City. Which of the following is correct
a. National income increases by $50,000 and factor payments to abroad increase by $20,000, so US GDP increases by $70,000
b. Consumption increases by $70,000 and imports increase by $70,000,50 US GDP remains unchanged
c. Consumption increases by $50,000 and exports increase by $20,000, so US GDP increases by $70,000
d. National income increases by $50,000 and factor payments from abroad increase by $50,000, so US GDP remains unchanged
Answer:
a. National income increases by $50,000 and factor payments to abroad increase by $20,000, so US GDP increases by $70,000
Explanation:
The German firm hired an American worker and paid him $50,000. That means that American national income will increase by $50,000.
Since the company is German, that would increase factor payments ot abroad by the difference = $70,000 - $50,000 = $20,000.
Total GDP increases by the amount of $50,000 + $20,000 = $70,000

Interest on bonds 350,000 238,000
Income before taxes $400,000 $512,000
Income tax 160,000 204,800
Net income $240,000 $307,200
Preferred dividend - $180,000
Earnings available to common
stockholders $240,000 $127,200
Outstanding shares 200,000 120,000
Earnings per share $1.20 $1.06
$1.20 ($240,000/200,000) $1.06 ($127,200/120,000)
Preferred stock dividend rate = 5% ($1/$20 * 100)

or 5% of $3,600,000
Purchased goods for $4,100 from Diamond Inc. with terms 2/10, n/30. 5 Returned goods costing $1,100 to Diamond Inc. for credit on account. 6 Purchased goods from Club Corp. for $1,000 with terms 2/10, n/30. 11 Paid the balance owed to Diamond Inc. 22 Paid Club Corp. in full. Required: Assume that Ace uses a perpetual inventory system and that the company had no inventory on hand at the beginning of the month. Calculate the cost of inventory as of June 30.
Answer: $3,940
Explanation:
Purchase from Diamond
The company received a discount of 2% because they paid within 10 days as per the terms of the sale.
Cost of inventory from Diamond:
= (Cost of goods - Returns) * (1 - 2%)
= (4,100 - 1,100) * 98%
= $2,940
Purchase from Club
Discount period expired so the full $1,000 is paid.
Total inventory cost:
= 2,940 + 1,000
= $3,940

A firm has to choose between two technologies; both produce same output with one being labor intensive and other being capital intensive. The firm will use labor intensive technology when _________________.
Answer:
The firm will use labor intensive technology when the marginal product of using labor intensive technology is greater than the marginal produce of capital intensive technology
Explanation:
Marginal product is the change in total product when the amount of input used in changed by 1 unit
When choosing which form of technology to use, a firm would choose the technology that yields the highest marginal product
For example, imagine a firm can choose between using labour or capital in its production. When labour is increased frim 10 to 20 units, output increase from 100 to 500 units
when capital is increased frim 10 to 20 units, output increase from 100 to 200 units
Marginal product of labour = 500 - 100 / ( 20 - 10) = 40
Marginal product of capital = (200 - 100) / (20 - 10) = 20
Marginal product of labour is higher than the Marginal product of capital. the firm should be labour intensive

Bond Y is a discount bond making semiannual payments. This bond pays a coupon rate of 6.2 percent, has a YTM of 6.8 percent, and also has 13 years to maturity. The bonds have a par value of $1,000. What is the price of each bond today
Answer:
Bond X $1,053.02
Bond Y $948.76
Explanation:
The bond price is the present value of all future cash flows(all semiannual coupons and face value) discounted at the semiannual yield to maturity since coupons are expected semiannually.
Using a financial calculator bearing in mind that the calculator would be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:
Bond X:
N=26(semiannual coupons in 13 years=13*2=26)
PMT=34(seminnual coupon=$1000*6.8%/2=$34)
I/Y=3.10(semiannual yield to maturity=6.2%/=3.10%)
FV=1000(the face value is $1000)

Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 5 years ago for $9,639,708 in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $3,650,288. An engineer was hired to study the land at a cost of $810,081, and her conclusion was that the land can support the new manufacturing facility. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $6,880,840 million to build, and the site requires $529,656 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?
Answer:
the proper cash flow amount is $11,060,784
Explanation:
The computation of the proper cash flow amount is shown below:
= land value + plant value + grading value
= $3,650,288 + 6,880,840 + $529,656
= $11,060,784
Hence, the proper cash flow amount is $11,060,784
So the same should be considered and relevant

You are an executive with an internet merchandizing company. Azzamon Inc. You have been assigned the task of analyzing whether to add a new warehouse in Atlanta or in Boston. A consulting firm whom you paid $100 K to do a study has narrowed the choice down to these two cities. You currently have two other warehouses in other cities. You must decide whether the following is relevant or irrelevant to the decision of where to locate the warehouse? Consultant Fee: Relevant Irrelevant
Answer:
Azzamon Inc.
Consultant Fee:
Irrelevant.
Explanation:
The consultant fee is not relevant to the decision of where to locate the warehouse. It is like a sunk cost that has already been incurred. The two cities recommended by the consultant will be considered based on their relevant statistics and data and not based on the fee paid to the consultant. A relevant cost impacts the decision at hand. One relevant cost for making a decision of this nature is the cost of installing facilities at the locations.

Refer to Exhibit 4-3. Suppose that the government imposes a price ceiling at a price of $12. The result would be a ________________ of _____________ units of good Z.
Answer:
The correct option is c. shortage, 70. That is, the result would be a shortage of 70 units of good Z.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Exhibit 4-3
PRICE OF GOOD Z:
$10 // QD: 300 // QS: 160
$12 // QD: 250 // QS: 180
$14 // QD: 200 // QS: 200
$16 // QD: 150 // QS: 220
Refer to Exhibit 4-3. Suppose that the government imposes a price ceiling at a price of $12. The result would be a ________________ of _____________ units of good Z.
a. surplus, 70
b. surplus, 20
c. shortage, 70
d. shortage, 20
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
A price ceiling can be described as a maximum price set by the government whereby it is illegal to sell the good above it. A price ceiling will cause a product shortage if it is set below the product's equilibrium price.
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demanded (QD) is equal to the quantity supplied (QS).
From Exhibit 4-3, QD is equal to QS is equal to 200 at the price of $14. This implies that the ceiling price of $12 imposed by the government is below the equilibrium price.
Based Exhibit 4-3. the units of shortage of goods Z at $12 can be calculated as follows:
Units of shortage of goods Z at the price of $12 = QD at the price of $12 – QS at the price of $12 = 250 - 180 = 70 units
Therefore, the correct option is c. shortage, 70. That is, the result would be a shortage of 70 units of good Z.

Owner withdrew $1,000 cash from the company for personal use.RequiredCreate the following table similar to the one in Exhibit 1.9.Equity Assets Liabilities + Expenses Cash + Receivable + Equipment = Payable + M. Chen, Capital M. Chen, + Revenues AccoThen use additions and subtractions to show the dollar effects of the transactions on individual items of the accounting equation. Show new balances after each transaction.
Answer:
The accounting equation holds as follows:
Asset = Liabilities + Equity = $80,000
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the analysis of the Effect of June Transactions on the Accounting Equation
From the last balances in the attached excel file, we have:
Assets = Cash + Receivable + Equipment = $41,000 + $8,000 + $31,000 = $80,000
Liabilities = Payable = $0
Equity = M. Chen, Capital - M. Chen, Withdrawals + Revenue - Expenses = $75,000 - $1,000 + $10,500 - $4,500 = $80,000
Liabilities + Equity = $0 + $80,000 = $80,000
Therefore, the accounting equation holds as follows:
Asset = Liabilities + Equity = $80,000
Calculate the annual coupon payment if the semi-annual coupon paying bond price is $920, the yield for the bond is 6%, the bond's face value is $1,000 and matures in 9 years.
The annual coupon payment is $48.40.
Annual coupon paymentYield = 6%
Rate = Yield/2 = 6%/2 = 3%
YTM = 9
Nper = YTM×2 = 9×2 = 18
Face value = $1,000
Price(PV) = $920
Monthly payment = PMT(0.03, 18, -920, 1000)
Monthly payment = $24.1833
Coupon rate = (PMT/Face value) ×2
Coupon rate = (24.1833/1000) × 2
Coupon rate = 0.0241833 × 2
Coupon rate = 0.0483666×100
Coupon rate = 4.84%
Annual coupon payment = Face value ×Coupon rate
Annual coupon payment = $1000 ×4.84%
Annual coupon payment = $48.40
Inconclusion the annual coupon payment is $48.40.

Outsourcing of jobs from large corporations to domestic subcontractors has been one reason job have been become more insecure in the U.S. recently.
a. true
b. false
Answer:
a. true
Explanation:
In Business management, outsourcing can be defined as a process which involves an agreement between two companies that allows for the provision of services or job functions by another.
When a company is outsourced, it engages the service of another company (third-party) to perform some of its duties rather than the use of an in-house department or employees to handle them. The outsourcing firm is saddled with the responsibility of physically distributing the goods or services of the outsourced company.
Hence, outsourcing simply means the use of supply chain partners of a large corporation to provide products or services for the end users or consumers.
In the United States of America, outsourcing of jobs and services from large corporations to domestic subcontractors (outsourcing companies) is one of the main reason job have become more insecure recently.

Following a decrease in price from $1.90 to $1.50, the weekly demand for a magazine increases from 100,000 to 120,000 copies. The price elasticity of demand for magazines in this range is:
Answer:
0,95
inelastic
Explanation:
0.21
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

Answer:
more

more
Explanation:
The limit on unemployment benefits would increase the incentives to find a job because after the 2 years period is over, those without jobs would get no benefits from the government.
Income distribution becomes more unequal because those who don't find jobs after the 2 year period would have no income
