Explanation:
B2B decisions are made between business entities (business and wholesaler, wholesaler and retailer) while B2C decisions are made between business and individuals (business and individual customers). Decision Making Units (DMU) is common in B2B and B2C decisions.
In a B2B, the key DMU includes economic buyer, infrastructure buyer and the user buyer. The economic buyer is the person buying a product, infrastructure buyer is the person providing infrastructure to make the purchase happen and the user buyer is the person supplying the product.
In the case of a decision-making process in a B2C, the DMU is a group of people making the decisions on the purchase of goods. B2C decision making consists of a buying center with users, buyers, influencers, gatekeepers and deciders.
The buying center is the key DMU in a B2C segment. The initiators in the buying center offer suggestions in a product purchase. The influencers provide their opinions in a product purchase. The buyers are the persons responsible for the entire contract. The gatekeepers control the information flow. Deciders take the final decision on a purchase. End users purchase the final product and use the item.
Consider the restaurant or fast food business that predominantly targets the corporate employees. In this case, a B2B decision-making process can be used to get more customers and improve their sales.
The economic buyer in this case is the employee of the corporate, the infrastructure buyer is the corporate entity and the user buyer is the fast food company supplying the food item. In this manner, a network with various corporate entities in the local area could improve the sales of the fast food company.
Similarly, a B2C decision-making process can be used to improve the sales by directly selling to the employees of the corporate and other people requiring fast food delivery at home through a mobile app.
In the decision-making process of B2C, the buyers are the fast food company, influencers may the persons including friends, family members and other entities, end users are the persons purchasing food through mobile app and gatekeepers are the persons responsible for maintaining the mobile app.

QS 21-17B Computing unit cost under absorption costing LO P5 Vijay Company reports the following information regarding its production costs. Direct materials $ 10.60 per unit Direct labor $ 20.60 per unit Overhead costs for the year Variable overhead $ 10.60 per unit Fixed overhead $ 223,600 Units produced 26,000 units Compute its product cost per unit under absorption costing. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Total unitary cost= $50.4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $ 10.60 per unit
Direct labor $ 20.60 per unit
Variable overhead $ 10.60 per unit
Fixed overhead $ 223,600
Units produced 26,000 units
Under absorption costing, the unit product cost is calculated using the direct material, direct labor, and total unitary fixed overhead.
Fixed unitary overhead= 223,600/26,000= $8.6
Total unitary cost= 10.6 + 20.6 + 10.6 + 8.6
Total unitary cost= $50.4
Consider the oil-producing countries of A, B, and C. Each has a marginal cost of zero. World demand is given by Q = 1430 - P. Suppose the three countries form a cartel, and that none of them has an incentive to deviate from the cartel. By how many units lower is the total output of oil under the cartel relative to the Cournot solution?
Answer: 357.50
Explanation:
Under Cournot model that has three firms, each firm produces at
q = (1430 – 0)/((3+1)×1)
= 1430/4
= 357.5 units
Total output = 357.5 × 3
= 1072.5 units
Under cartel, the marginal revenue equals to the marginal cost.
MR = MC = 0
1430 – 2Q = 0
Q = 1430/2
Q = 715 units
Difference= 1072.5 units - 715 units
= 357.5 units
Hence the units are 357.50 units lower in cartel compared to Cournot.
What is the difference between change in quantity supplied and change in supply?

A law firm received $1600 cash for legal services to be rendered in the future. The full amount was credited to the liability account Unearned Service Revenue. If the legal services have been rendered at the end of the accounting period and no adjusting entry is made, this would cause:
Answer and Explanation:
In the first situation, the journal entry is
Cash Dr $1,600
To Unearned revenue $1,600
(Being the unearned revenue is recorded)
For this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and credited the unearned revenue as it also increased the liabilities
The adjusting entry is
Unearned Service Revenue XXXXX
To Service Revenue XXXXX
(Being the adjusting entry is recorded)
If this entry is not recorded than it would leads to understated of revenue and overstated of liabilities
Minot Corporation is preparing its cash budget for August. The following information is available concerning its accounts receivable: Estimated credit sales for August $ 220,000 Actual credit sales for July $ 167,000 Estimated collections in August for credit sales in August 25 % Estimated collections in August for credit sales in July 70 % Estimated collections in August for credit sales prior to July $ 18,000 Estimated write-offs in August for uncollectible credit sales $ 8,000 Estimated provision for bad debts in August for credit sales in August $ 7,800 Required: What is the estimated amount of cash receipts from accounts receivable collections in August?
Answer:
$189,900
Explanation:
For computation of estimated amount of cash receipts from accounts receivable collections first we need to find out the credit sales in August and credit sales in July which is shown below:-
Credit sales in August = Estimated credit sales × Estimated collections in August for credit sales in August
= $220,000 × 25%
= $55,000
Credit sales in July = Actual credit sales × Estimated collections in August for credit sales in July
= $167,000 × 70%
= $116,900
Total estimated cash receipts from accounts receivable = Credit sales in August +Credit sales in July = Actual credit sales + Credit sales prior to July
= $55,000 + $116,900 + $18,000
= $189,900

The selling price of imported olive oil is $20 per case. Your cost is 15 Euros per case, and the exchange rate is currently 1.25, so it takes 1.25 Euros to buy $1. Your largest customer has ordered 15,000 cases of olive oil. How much is the pretax profit for this transaction?
Answer:
$120,000
Explanation:
According to the question, the selling price (S.P) i.e. amount to be sold, of one imported olive oil case is $20 while the cost price (C.P) i.e. amount it was purchased, is €15
Looking at the currencies of both prices, they are different. To make the currencies the same, we need to convert euros (€) to dollars ($).
Based on the exchange rate of €1.25 to $1 given in the question;
€15 will be 15/1.25 = $12.
Therefore, the C.P is $12 and the S.P is $20
A customer ordered 15,000 cases of olive oil. This means that the;
1) The cost price (C.P) will be $12 × 15,000 = $180,000
2) The selling price will be $20 × 15,000 = $300,000
In order to obtain the pretax profit, we subtract the cost price (C.P) from the selling price (S.P). That is, $300,000 - $180,000 = $120,000
A company bought $950,000 of equipment with an expected life of 24 years and no residual value. After 20 years the company sold the equipment for $120,500. If the company uses straight-line depreciation and the indirect method is used to determine cash flows from operating activities, which of the following reflects how the sale of the equipment would be reported in the statement of cash flows?
a. $128,500 is recorded as a cash inflow from investing activities and $35,786 is added to convert net income to net cash flow provided by operating activities.
b. $128,500 is recorded as a cash inflow from investing activities and $35,786 is subtracted to convert net income to net cash flow provided by operating activities.
c. $128,500 is recorded as a cash inflow from operating activities.
d. $128,500 is recorded as a cash inflow from investing activities and no other sections of the statement are affected.
Answer:
The correct answer is Option A although the numbers in all the options are not correct. The appropriate answer is $120,500 is recorded as a cash inflow from investing activities and $37,833 is added to convert net income to net cash flow provided by operating activities.
Explanation:
Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($950,000 - 0) / 24 years = $39,583.33 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation for 20 years = $39,583.33 x 20 = $791,666.67
Net book value (NBV) becomes $950,000 - $791,666.67 = $158,333.33
Gain or loss on disposal = Sales proceeds - NBV = $120,500 - $158,333 = $ 37,833 (loss)
The price of a home is $210,000. The bank requires a 5% down payment and three points at the time of closing. The cost of the home is financed with a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 7%. a. Find the required down payment. b. Find the amount of the mortgage. c. How much must be paid for the three points at closing? d. Find the total cost of interest over 30 years, to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
a.$31,500
b.$178,500
c.$5355
d.$ 249,021.60
Explanation:
The down payment is 15% of the price of the home=15%*$210,000=$31500
Amount of mortgage=price of the home-down payment
=$210,000-$31,500=$178,500
Amount to be paid for 3 points at closing =3%*amount of mortgage
=3%*$178,500=$5355
Note that 1 point costs 1 percent of mortgage amount
The amount of repayment monthly can be computed thus:
=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)
rate is the fixed mortgage of 7%/12
nper is 30 years multiplied by 12=360 months
pv is the mortgage amount of $178,500
fv is the total of mortgage amount and total interest,it is not known
=pmt(7%/12,360,-178500,0)=$ 1,187.56
Total interest cost=total payment-mortgage amount=($ 1,187.56*360)-$178,500 =$ 249,021.60
Misty and John formed the MJ Partnership. Misty contributed $50,000 of cash in exchange for her 50% interest in the partnership capital and profits. During the first year of partnership operations, the following events occurred: the partnership had a net taxable income of $20,000; Misty received a distribution of $12,000 cash from the partnership; and Misty had a 50% share in the partnership's $60,000 of recourse liabilities on the last day of the partnership year. Misty's adjusted basis for her partnership interest at year end is:
Answer:
$78,000
Explanation:
The computation of interest at year end is shown below:-
Interest at year end = Cash contribution + Income of partnership + Share of partnership liabilities - Cash from the partnership
= $50,000 + $20,000 × 50% + $60,000 × 50% - $12,000
= $90,000 + $10,000 + $30,000 - $12,000
= $78,000
Therefore for computing the partnership interest at year end we simply applied the above formula by considering all the items given in the question
The common stock of Leaning Tower of Pita Inc., a restaurant chain, will generate payoffs to investors next year, which depend on the state of the economy, as follows: Dividend Stock Price Boom $ 10 $ 200 Normal economy 6 90 Recession 0 0 The company goes out of business if a recession hits. Assume for simplicity that the three possible states of the economy are equally likely. The stock is selling today for $80.
a. Calculate the rate of return to Leaning Tower of Pita shareholders for each economic state. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Rate of return Boom Normal economy Recession a-2.
b. Calculate the expected rate of return and standard deviation of return to Leaning Tower of Pita shareholders. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Expected return Standard deviation
Answer:
a) Boom = 162.50%
Normal =20.00%
Recession = - 100.00%
b) Expected return = 27.50%
Standard deviation = 107.30%
Explanation:
a) To find the rate of return for each economy state, let's use:
Rate of return = (Dividend +Stock price next year-stock price today)/stock price today
i) For Boom:
[tex] \frac{10 + 200 - 80}{80} = 1.625 [/tex] = 162.50%
ii) Normal:
[tex]\frac{6 + 90- 80}{80} = 0.2 [/tex] = 20.00%
iii) Recession :
[tex]\frac{0 + 0 - 80}{80} = - 1 [/tex] = -100%
b) To calculate the expected rate of return, let's use:
Expected return = Sum of expected return in different scenario / number of economy states
[tex] = \frac{162.5 + 20 - 100}{3} = 27.50[/tex]
Standard deviation:
To find the standard deviation, let's use:
Standard deviation = √[(sum of square of expected return in each scenario -average return)/n]
[tex] = \sqrt{\frac{(162.50-27.50)^2+(20-27.50)^2+(-100-27.50)^2}{3}} [/tex]
[tex] = \sqrt{\frac{(135)^2 + (-7.50)^2 + (-127.50)^2}{3}} [/tex]
[tex] = \sqrt{\frac{18225+56.25+16256.25}{3} [/tex]
= 107.30%
Standard deviation = 107.30%

The Collins Company uses predetermined overhead rates to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The predetermined overhead rate is based on machine hours in Dept. A and labor cost in Dept. B. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Dept A Dept B Direct labor cost $65,000 $42,000 Manufacturing overhead $91,000 $48,000 Direct labor-hours 8,000 10,000 Machine-hours 3,000 12,000 What predetermined overhead rates would be used in Dept A and Dept B, respectively
Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate for department A = 1.4
Predetermined overhead rate for department B = $4
Explanation:
The computation of predetermined overhead rates would be used in Dept A and Dept B, is shown below:-
The predetermined overhead rate for department A = Manufacturing overhead ÷ Machine hours
= $91,000 ÷ $65,000
= 1.4
The predetermined overhead rate for department B = Manufacturing overhead ÷ Machine hours
= $48,000 ÷ 12,000 hours
= $4

The competitive force of substitute products tends to be stronger when Group of answer choices buyers view the prices of substitutes as too high. the costs that buyers face in switching over to substitutes are low. the quality and performance of substitutes are relatively low. substitutes do not embody many characteristics that are similar to those of products already serving the market. none of the above.
Answer:
B. . the costs that buyers face in switching over to substitutes are low.
Explanation:
Porter's threat of substitutes assumes that there are alternative products which customers can easily switch to, to replace a particular product which might be dominant in the market. Some businesses tend to have a lot of competitors, unlike some that have monopoly of the market. Fast moving consumer goods like toiletries or beverages, fall into the class of businesses with many competitors.
There are several high risk factors that could prompt customers to chose a substitute. One of them is, if the prices of the substitutes are perceived by the customers as low. This would make them view the product as a better substitute. And if the product has similar or even higher quality, it makes the substitute more appealing.
The following labor standards have been established for a particular product: Standard labor-hours per unit of output 10 hours Standard labor rate $ 13.80 per hour The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual hours worked 7,800 hours Actual total labor cost $ 104,520 Actual output 1,050 units What is the labor efficiency variance for the month?
Actual Hours = 3,800 Hours
Standard Hours = 500 × 8.7
= 4,350 Hours
Standard Rate = $18.10
Labor Efficiency Variance = (Actual hours – Standard hours) × Standard rate
= (3,800 – 4,350) × $18.10
= $9,955 Favorable
The SP Corporation makes 42,000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing machines. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is: Direct materials $ 10.10 Direct labor $ 9.10 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.75 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.70 An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the sewing machine. The price offered to SP Corporation for this motor is $25.75. If SP Corporation decides not to make the motors, there would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be:
Answer:
annual financial advantage, $837,600
Explanation:
Analysis of the Make or Buy Decision - Making
Making Costs
Direct materials $ 10.10×42,000 424,200
Direct labor $ 9.10×42,000 382,200
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.75×42,000 157,500
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.70×42,000 197,400
Total 1,161,300
Buying Costs
Purchase Price $25.75×42,000 1,801,500
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.70×42,000 197,400
Total 1,998,900
It costs $837,600 more to Buy than to make.
Hence the annual financial advantage for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be $837,600.
Data concerning Pony Corporation's single product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selling price $ 200 100 % Variable expenses 40 20 % Contribution margin $ 160 80 % Fixed expenses are $531,000 per month. The company is currently selling 4,000 units per month. The marketing manager would like to cut the selling price by $14 and increase the advertising budget by $35,000 per month. The marketing manager predicts that these two changes would increase monthly sales by 500 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
Answer:
$18,000
Explanation:
The computation of overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income is shown below:-
Current Proposed
Sales $800,000 $837,000
(200 × 4000) (200 - 14) × (4,000 + 500)
Variable expenses $160,000 $180,000
(40 × 4000) (40 × (4,000 + 500))
Contribution margin $640,000 $657,000
Fixed expenses $531000 $566,000
($531,000 + $35,000)
Net operating
income $109,000 $91,000
Decrease in net operating income = Current - Proposed
= $109,000 - $91,000
= $18,000
So, for computing the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income we simply applied the above formula.

Accounts receivable $ 375,000 $ 300,000 $ __________ ___________ %
Inventory 780,000 600,000 ____________ ___________ %
Total assets 3,220,000 2,800,000 __________ __________ %
Answer:
75000,25%;
18000, 30%.
420000, 15%.
Explanation:
From the question above we are given the following parameters Accounts receivable for year 2017 = $ 375,000,
Inventory for the year 2017 = 780,000 and the Total assets for the year 2017 = 3,220,000.
Accounts receivable for year 2016 = $ 300,000, inventory for the year 2016 = 600,000 and the Total assets for the year 2016 = 2,800,000.
Therefore, we have the following simple arithmetic(which is subtraction between the variables in the two years) to determine the solution to the question:
(375,000 - 300,000) = 75,000 = 25%(increase).
(780,000 - 600,000) = 180,000 = 30%(Increase).
(3,220,000 - 2,800,00) = 420,000 = 15%(increase).
Answer:
25%30%15%Explanation:
Accounts receivables

g Birch Company normally produces and sells 48,000 units of RG-6 each month. The selling price is $26 per unit, variable costs are $17 per unit, fixed manufacturing overhead costs total $180,000 per month, and fixed selling costs total $40,000 per month. Employment-contract strikes in the companies that purchase the bulk of the RG-6 units have caused Birch Company’s sales to temporarily drop to only 9,000 units per month. Birch Company estimates that the strikes will last for two months, after which time sales of RG-6 should return to normal. Due to the current low level of sales, Birch Company is thinking about closing down its own plant during the strike, which would reduce its fixed manufacturing overhead costs by $43,000 per month and its fixed selling costs by 11%. Start-up costs at the end of the shutdown period would total $13,000. Because Birch Company uses Lean Production methods, no inventories are on hand. Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) if Birch closes its own plant for two months? 2. Should Birch close the plant for two months? 3. At what level of unit sales for the two-month period would Birch Company be indifferent between closing the plant or keeping it open?
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
(1) Product RG-6 yields a contribution margin of $10 per unit ($20 - $10 = $10). If the plant closes, this contribution margin will be lost on the 18,000 units (9,000 units per month * 2 months) that could have been sold during the two-month period. However, the company will be able to avoid certain fixed costs as a result of closing down. The analysis is:
Amount ($) Amount ($)
Contribution margin lost by closing the
plant for two months ($10 * 18,000 units) (180,000)
Costs avoided by closing the plant for two months:
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost ($41,000 * 2 months)82,000
Fixed selling costs ($48,000 * 10% * 2months) 9,600 91,600
Net disadvantage of closing, before start-up cost (88,400)
Add start-up costs 13,000
Disadvantage of closing the plant 101,400
(2) No, the company should not close the plant; it should continue to operate at the reduced level of 9,000 units produced and sold each month. Closing will result in a $101,400 greater loss over the two-month period than if the company continues to operate.
(3)
Amount ($)
Cost avoided by closing the plant for two months 91,600
Less: start-up costs (13,000)
Net avoidable costs 78,600
Units = Net avoidable cost / Contribution margin per unit
= $78,600 / $10 = 7,860 units
Equipment with a book value of $78,000 and an original cost of $168,000 was sold at a loss of $31,000. Paid $106,000 cash for a new truck. Sold land costing $315,000 for $420,000 cash, yielding a gain of $105,000. Long-term investments in stock were sold for $90,000 cash, yielding a gain of $15,500. Use the above information to determine this company's cash flows from investing activities. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer:
$451,000
Explanation:
The computation of cash flows from investing activities is shown below:-
Sale of equipment $47,000
($78,000 - $31,000)
Purchase of new truck ($106,000)
Sale of land $420,000
Sale of Long-term investments $90,000
Net cash provided by investing activities $451,000
Therefore to reach the cash flows from investing activities we simply added the sale of equipment, sale of land, sale of long term investments and deduct the purchase of new truck.

2. Boilermaker Corp has a beta of 0.8. The market return is expected to be 15%, and the current risk-free rate is 4%. We have used analysts’ estimates to determine that the market believes our dividends will grow at 5% per year and our last dividend was $1. The stock is currently selling for $12.00. What is the company’s cost of equity using the Security Market Line and using the Dividend Growth Model?
Answer:
Security Market Line 16%
Dividend Growth Model 13.75%
Explanation:
Boilermaker Corp
Security Market Line: Re = 4% + 0.8(15%)
=0.04+0.12
= 16%
Dividend Growth Model : Re = [1(1.05)/12.00] + 0.05
=1(0.0875)+0.05
=0.0875+0.05
= 13.75%
Therefore the company’s cost of equity using the Security Market Line is 16% and using the Dividend Growth Model is 13.75%
2. Identify the type of scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio) appropriate for each of the following types of data.
a. Star ratings of hotels
b. Sales revenues of companies
c. Grades of officers in armed forces
d. House numbers in a street
e. Prices of cars
f. Classes of accommodation on passenger flights
g. Passport numbers
h. Numbers in a rating scale on a questionnaire
i. Index numbers
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
A Nominal Scale is a scale where variables are grouped and categorized according to certain characteristics. You cannot perform normal mathematical functions on them such as addition, subtraction and the like.
Ordinal Scales are like nominal scale but in this case the variables can be ranked. You can have a first position and a last position.
An Interval scale is numeric and as such can be ordered. You can also perform mathematical functions on them. Interval scales have no true zero and an example is Temperature. That's why temperature can drop to the negatives.
A Ratio Scale is in many ways like an Interval Scale. The main distinguishing factor is that a Ratio Scale has a true 0. This means that at there is no number before 0 and at 0 level, the variable is considered finished.
Classifying the above therefore,
a. Star ratings of hotels.
ORDINAL because they can be ranked.
b. Sales revenues of companies.
RATIO because there is a true 0. At $0, there is no revenue.
c. Grades of officers in armed forces.
ORDINAL as it can be ranked.
d. House numbers in a street.
NOMINAL as the street numbers don't mean a house is higher ranked than another.
e. Prices of cars.
RATIO as there is a true zero. A car at $0 is free. Price cannot be below $0.
f. Classes of accommodation on passenger flights.
ORDINAL as it can be ranked according to treatment in the various classes.
g. Passport numbers.
NOMINAL as the different passport numbers are simply used for identification and cannot rank people.
h. Numbers in a rating scale on a questionnaire.
ORDINAL because the variables can be ranked from top to bottom.
i. Index numbers.
ORDINAL if the index can be ranked.

He decides to incorporate and transfers the assets and liabilities of the sole proprietorship to the newly formed corporation in exchange for its stock. The assets, which include $10,000 of accounts receivable with a zero basis, have a basis of $20,000 and an FMV of $40,000. The liabilities include accounts payable of $12,000, which will be deductible when paid, and a note payable on medical equipment of $7,000. Jeremy's basis for his stock is
Answer:
$13,000
Explanation:
Given that:
Jeremy operates a business as a sole proprietorship which uses a cash method of accounting. Now he is planning transfer them into a new corporation in exchange for its stock.
The assets are :
$10,000 of accounts receivable with a zero basis
have a basis of $20,000 and an FMV of $40,000
Liabilities
payable of $12,000
The note payable on medical equipment is $7,000.
Therefore , Jeremy's basis for his stock is : $20,000 -$7,000 = $13,000
since that will reduce the basis by amount of the note payable.
The liabilities payable will be deducted and taken care of by the corporation.
