Answer 1

Answer:

Sentence-level Writing

a. Dangling Modifier:

 

1.

Dangling Modifier:  When beginning the meeting

Best Revision:  2. When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off

2.

Dangling Modifier :  taking the train into Boston

Best Revision: Taking the train into Boston, Katie reviewed the meeting minutes.

b. Identifying the dependent clauses:

1. Unless he responds to my request in the next 24 hours

3. When he opened the e-mail message

c. Identifying the independent clauses:

2. Meanwhile, the executive assistant printed the agenda.

d. Identifying the sentence with the correct parallel structure:

1. The systems analyst found that we needed to upgrade our equipment, revise our backup process, and implement better security measures.

e. Best option to complete the sentence:

If you _________, you will do well in this corporation.

1. write well, speak well, and use good interpersonal skills

Explanation:

a. A phrase or clause that is not directly related to the word or words it modifies is called a dangling modifier.  Usually, the word a dangling modifier modifies may be absent from the sentence.  An example is "when beginning the meeting."  The word it modifies may be "we" as in "When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off."

b. A clause which cannot make a complete sense or sentence is called a dependent clause.  It requires another clause to make a complete sense.  The clause that makes a complete a complete sentence and can stand alone without another clause is an independent clause.

c. A sentence that has grammatical structure which is balanced is said to have parallelism.  This can also be called parallel structure or construction.  This means that the items listed follow similar pattern that rhyme with one another.  Let us revise the sentence with the wrong parallel structure in this case so as to make it become a parallelism:  "The systems analyst found that we needed upgraded equipment, revised backup processes, and better implemented security measures."  By this revision, the wrong parallel sentence now has a well-structured parallelism.

Answer 2

A dangling modifier is a phrase or sentence that has no direct connection to the word or words it modifies. The correct options for the dangling modifier are When beginning the meeting and taking the train into Boston, and the correct options for the independent clause are Unless he responds to my request in the next 24 hours, and When he opened the e-mail message.

1.

Dangling Modifier:  When beginning the meeting

Best Revision:  2. When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off

2.

Dangling Modifier:  taking the train into Boston

Best Revision: Taking the train into Boston, Katie reviewed the meeting minutes.

b. Identifying the dependent clauses:

1. Unless he responds to my request in the next 24 hours

3. When he opened the e-mail message.

The term that a dangling modifier usually modifies may not even be present in the phrase.  An illustration might be "when the meeting starts."  The word it modifies can be "we," as in "The fire alarm went off as we were starting the meeting."

A dependent clause is a clause that cannot be used to finish a sentence or make sense on its own.  For it to make sense, another sentence is necessary.  An independent clause is one that can stand alone without the help of another clause and completes a complete sentence.

(b) Calculate the net benefit (or cost) to Motocar Corp. if the Wheel Division accepts the offer from the Van Division.

Answers

Answer:

A. Profit per wheel      = $8

B. Total benefit to Motor Corp. = $4,320,000

Explanation:

Requirement A

We can calculate the net benefit/cost to the wheel division of accepting the offer from van division  by deducting all the variable cost from the selling price offered by van division

Selling price           = $40

Direct material        = $15

Direct labor             = $11

Variable Overhead = $6

Profit per wheel      = $8

Requirement B Net benefit to Motor car corp.

Increased the profit of wheel division by accepting the offer

180,000 x $8 =$1,440,000

Savings of van division by placing an order to wheel division

180,000 x $16(w) = $2,880,000

Total benefit to Motor Corp. = $1,440,000 + $2,880,000

Total benefit to Motor Corp. = $4,320,000

Explanation:

Production Cost Schedule for 4,200 toy flutes

Raw materials costing                   $490.00

Direct Labor                                   $357.00

Overheads ($5.60 × 36)                $201.60

Overheads ($357 × 240%)            $856.80

Total Cost                                    $1,905.40

Cost per unit = Total Cost / Total Number of Units produced

                      =  $1,905.40 / 4,200

                      =  $ 0.45

Closing Inventory = Units Left × Cost per unit

                              = (4,200 -  3,870) × $ 0.45

Burpee Company sells seeds to garden stores. Sales are expected to be $2,038,635 in January, $2,581,891 in February and $2,913,307 in March. Burpee sets their prices so that they earn an average 32% gross profit on sales revenue. What is budgeted cost of goods sold for the first quarter (January, February and March)?

Answers

Answer:

Total COGS= $5,123,006.44

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales:

January= $2,038,635

February= $2,581,891

March= $2,913,307

Burpee sets their prices so that they earn an average 32% gross profit on sales revenue.

We need to calculate the cost of goods sold:

January= 2,038,635*0.68= 1,386,271.8

February= 2,581,891*0.68= 1,755,685.88

March= 2,913,307*0.68= 1,981,048.76

4. 95% confidence is wider

Explanation:

1. It is normally distributed since n<30

2. Margin of error with 95% confidence

= Alpha = 1 - 0.95

= O.05

Alpha/2 = 0.025

Z(0.025) = 1.960

Margin of error = z(1.960)*SD/√n

= 1.960*(3.2/√20)

= 1.960 x 0.7156

= 1.4025

Approximately 1.4

3. At 90%

Alpha = 1 -0.9

= 0.10

Alpha/2 = 0.05

Z(0.05) =1.645

E = 1.645 x 3.2/√20

= 1.645 x 0.7176

= 1.177

Approximately 1.18

4. From the calculations in 2 and 3 it is obvious that the margin of error with 95% confidence interval is wider.

Answers

Answer:

demand for pesos would fall and supply would rise. their value would decrease as a result

Explanation:

You purchased a machine for $1.19 million three years ago and have been applying​ straight-line depreciation to zero for a​ seven-year life. Your tax rate is 40%. If you sell the machine today​ (after three years of​ depreciation) for $724,000​, what is your incremental cash flow from selling the​ machine?

Answers

Answer:

The incremental cash flow is $706,400

Explanation:

Calculation of Depreciation for 3 years

Depreciation = Cost / Useful years

= $1,190,000/7

= $170,000

Depreciation up to 3 years = $170,000 * 3

= $510,000

Calculation of Book value

Book value = Cost - Deprciation up to 3 years

= $1,190,000-$510,000

= $680,000

Profit on sale of assets = Sales value - Book value

= $724,000​ - $680,000

= $44,000

Incremental Cash flow = Sales value - (Profit on sales of asset * Tax rate)

= $724,000 - $44,000 * 40%

= $724,000 - $17,600

= $706,400

Therefore, the incremental cash flow is $706,400

Your supervisor instructs you to purchase 480 pens and 6 staplers for the workplace. Pens are purchased in sets of 6 for $2.45. Staplers are sold in sets of 2 for $14.95. How much will the purchase of these products cost?

Answers

Answer:

Total cost= $225.9

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Your supervisor instructs you to purchase 480 pens and 6 staplers for the workplace.

Pens are purchased in sets of 6 for $2.45.

Staplers are sold in sets of 2 for $14.95.

First, we need to calculate the number of "packs" to buy:

Pens= 480/6= 80

Staplers= 6/2= 3

Total cost= 80*2.45 + 2*14.95= $225.9

Suppose purchasing power parity holds. If the price level in the United States is 100 dollars per good and the price level in Japan is 250 yen per good, then the nominal exchange rate is ________ yen per dollar.

Answers

Answer: 2.5 Yen

Explanation;

The Economic theory of Purchasing Power Parity when held, believes that prices of goods in different countries are the same if their exchange rates are taken into account.

For the above therefore it means that the price of the good is the same in both the US and Japan barring exchange rates.

Exchange rate is;

$100 = ¥250

$1 = 250/100

$1 = ¥2.5

Exchange rate is 2.5 yen per dollar.

On July 1, Shady Creek Resort borrowed $320,000 cash by signing a 10-year, 11.5% installment note requiring equal payments each June 30 of $55,480. What amount of interest expense will be included in the first annual payment

Answers

Answer:

$36,800

Explanation:

The total amount of interest expense included in the first annual principal

= Principal's balance × yearly interest rate

= $320,000 × 11.5%

= $36,800

The principal's balance after the first payment is

= $320,000 - $36,800

= $283,200

The interest expense included in the second payment is

A stock priced at $61 has three-month calls and puts with an exercise price of $55 available. The calls have a premium of $5.28, and the puts cost $0.56. The risk-free rate is 1.1%. If the put options are mispriced, what is the profit per option assuming no transaction costs?

Answers

Answer:

The Profit per option =  $1.431

Explanation:

Given that:

Current stock price S = $61

Exercise Strike price X = $55

Value of call option C = $5.28

Puts Costs = $0.56

risk-free rate = (1.1% × 3)/12

risk - free rate = 0.275%

If the put options are mispriced, what is the profit per option assuming no transaction costs

Present value of the strike price [tex]X = \dfrac{X}{(1+r)}[/tex]

[tex]X = \dfrac{55}{(1+\dfrac{0.275}{100})}[/tex]

[tex]X = \dfrac{55}{(1+0.00275)}[/tex]

[tex]X = \dfrac{55}{(1.00275)}[/tex]

X = $54.849

The formula that hold for the  put option can be expressed as:

P = Present value of  the strike price X + C - S

P = $(54.849 + 5.28 - 61)

P = $60.129 - $61

P = - $0.871

Thus, the put option = - $0.871

This implies that the Put option is out of cash since it is negative.

Now, The Profit per option = put costs - (- put option)

The Profit per option =  0.56 - ( - 0.871)

The Profit per option =  $1.431

Pear Corporation is considering Alternative A and Alternative B. Costs associated with the alternatives are listed below:
Alternative A Alternative B
Materials costs $ 40,000 $ 56,000
Processing costs $ 37,000 $ 37,000
Equipment rental $ 13,000 $ 13,000
Occupancy costs $ 15,000 $ 22,000
Are the materials costs and processing costs relevant in the choice between alternatives A and B?
Multiple Choice
A) Only processing costs are relevant
B) Only materials costs are relevant
C) Both materials costs and processing costs are relevant
D) Neither materials costs nor processing costs are relevant

Answers

Answer: B) Only materials costs are relevant

Explanation:

When choosing between alternatives, the main decider is the difference in costs. The costs that are different are the ones to decide whether a company takes on a project as it will signal the financial viability of a project.

In both alternatives, the Processing costs remain at $37,000 therefore the alternative chosen is irrelevant to these costs as they will be incurred regardless of the company's choice. They are therefore not to be considered.

Material costs on the other hand vary by the alternatives and so should be considered.

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 25 years. To do this, you will invest $880 per month in a stock account and $480 per month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be an APR of 10.8 percent, and the bond account will earn an APR of 6.8 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with an APR of 7.8 percent. All interest rates are compounded monthly. How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a withdrawal period of 20 years

Answers

Answer:

$14,143.86 can be withdrawn each month from the account for 20 years.

Explanation:

To determine this, the first step is to use the formula for calculating the future value (FV) of ordinary annuity to calculate the FV of both stock and bond as follows:

Calculation of Future Value of Stock

FVs = M × {[(1 + r)^n - 1] ÷ r} ................................. (1)

Where,

FVs = Future value of the amount invested in stock after 25 years =?

M = Monthly investment = $880

r = Monthly interest rate = 10.8% ÷ 12 = 0.9%, or 0.009

n = number of months = 25 years × 12 months = 300

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

FVs = $880 × {[(1 + 0.009)^360 - 1] ÷ 0.009}

FVs = $880 × 1,522.3445923122

FVs = $1,339,663.24

Calculation of Future Value of Bond

FVd = M × {[(1 + r)^n - 1] ÷ r} ................................. (1)

Where,

FVd = Future value of the amount invested in bond after 25 years =?

M = Monthly investment = $480

r = Monthly interest rate = 6.8% ÷ 12 = 0.566666666666667%, or 0.00566666666666667

n = number of months = 25 years × 12 months = 300

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

FVd = $480 × {[(1 + 0.00566666666666667)^300 - 1] ÷ 0.00566666666666667}

FVd = $480 × 784.895879465925

FVd = $376,750.02

Calculation of the amount that can be withdrawn monthly for 20 years

To calculate this, the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity is used as follows:

PV = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r] …………………………………. (3)

Where;

PV = Combined present values of stock and bond investments after retirement = FVs + FVb = $1,339,663.24 + $376,750.02 = $1,716,413.26

P = Monthly withdrawal = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = 7.8% ÷ 12 = 0.65%, or 0.0065

n = number of months = 20 years * 12 months = 240

Substitute the values into equation (3) and solve for P to have:

PV = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r]

$1,716,413.26 = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.0065)]^240} ÷ 0.0065]

$1,716,413.26 = P × 121.353915567094

P = $1,716,413.26 / 121.353915567094

P = $14,143.86

Therefore, $14,143.86 can be withdrawn each month from the account for 20 years.

The Cutting Department at Blanc Company had beginning work in process inventory of 4,000 units, transferred out 9,000 units, and had 2,000 units in ending work in process inventory. The number of units started into production by the Cutting Department during the month is

Answers

Answer:

The number of units started into production is 7,000.

Explanation:

Number of units started into production = Units transferred out + units of ending work in process - units of beginning work in process

                                                                   = 9,000 + 2,000 - 4,000

                                                                   = 7,000

Many managers describe performance appraisal as the responsibility that they like least. Why is this so? What could be done to improve the situation?

Answers

Answer:

Many managers describe performance appraisal as the responsibility that they like least. Why is this so?

it might be so because managers may feel that performance appraisal is not as productive as other activities, or because they lack the personal skills, or the motivation, to engage in that activity.

What could be done to improve the situation?

Managers should be taught that performance appraisal can be a very effective and productive method for the firm. When workers are praised for their work (when they deserve it), they are likely to be happier in the workplace, and it has been shown by countless studies that happier workers are also more productive.

A company had the following purchases during its first year of operations: Purchases January: 18 units at $128 February: 28 units at $138 May: 23 units at $148 September: 20 units at $158 November: 18 units at $168 On December 31, there were 58 units remaining in ending inventory. These 58 units consisted of 10 from January, 12 from February, 14 from May, 12 from September, and 10 from November. Using the specific identification method, what is the cost of the ending inventory?

Answers

Answer:

$8,584

Explanation:

Cost of ending inventory can be calculated by multiplying the remaining units of the given month by their purchase cost in the following month

DATA

Total remaining units n ending inventory = 58 units

10 from January at $128

12 from February at $138

14 from May at $148

12 from September at $158

10 from November at $168

Calculation

January  =  10 x $128       = $1,280

February = 12 x $138        = $1,656

May = 14 x $148                = $2,072

September = 12 x $158     = $1,896

November = 10 x $168      = $1,680

Cost of ending inventory = $8,584

With regard to consideration in a sales contract, the UCC differs from the common law in that:_______
A) terms of a sales contract may be modified without additional consideration.
B) consideration is not required in sales contracts
C) terms in a sales contract may be modified as long as additional consideration is provided.
D) consideration exchanged must be equal or very closely equal in sales contracts.

Answers

Answer:

A) terms of a sales contract may be modified without additional consideration.

Explanation:

Generally speaking, common law applies to everybody in an equal manner, i.e. the law is the same for everyone. While UCC rules vary depending if the parties involved are merchants or not. UCC has two standards, one that applies to merchants and another one that applies to everyone else.

Common law applies to all contracts that are not covered by UCC rules. UCC rules only apply to the sale of goods and this doesn't include money or securities. Under UCC rules, new consideration is not a requirement to modify an existing contract. E.g. a buyer places an order for 3,000 units, but the seller only has 2,000 units available. The seller can send the 2,000 units and if the buyer accepts them, a new contract is formed.

Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $2,201 and matures in 21 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a coupon rate of 7.38 percent. The par value is $2,000. If the company's tax rate is 40 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt

Answers

Answer:

the after tax cost of debt is 3.90 %.

Explanation:

The Cost of debt is the rate required on the bond and this is calculated as follows :

PV = - $2,201

n = 21 × 2 = 42

PMT =  ($2,000 × 7.38 %) ÷ 2 = $73.80

P/YR = 2

FV = $2,000

r = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the Pre-tax Cost of debt, r is 6.4963% or 6.50 % (2 decimal places)

After tax cost of debt = Interest rate × (1 - tax rate)

                                   = 6.50 % × (1 - 0.40)

                                   = 3.90 %
