Answer:
secondary data.
Explanation:
Market research can be defined as a strategic technique which typically involves the process of identifying, acquiring and analyzing informations about a business. It involves the use of product test, surveys, questionnaire, focus groups, interviews, etc.
Secondary market research can be defined as a method designed to determine the demographics of a particular target market.
A secondary data can be defined as any form of data that has been obtained or collected earlier by someone else through primary sources for their own purpose and made readily available for other researchers to use. Thus, a secondary data is a type of data that has been previously obtained or collected.
In this scenario, the type of information the marketing team was using is referred to as secondary data because it looked to the Internet to find industry trends and at the market for eyewear products, which uses the same technology that is used in manufacturing its self-darkening windshield.
In conclusion, a secondary data is typically reliant or based on the primary source of information and as such it isn't a first hand experience.
The language of price controls
Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon.
Complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it is binding or non-binding.
Statement Price Control Binding or Not
The government prohibits grocery stores from selling
milk for more than $2.30 per gallon.
The government has instituted a legal minimum price
of $2.30 per gallon for milk.
Due to new regulations, grocery stores that would like
to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are
prohibited from doing so.
Answer:
Price ceiling binding
price floor non binding
price ceiling binding
Explanation:
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
The minimum price is $2.30 which is less than the equilibrium price of $2.50. Thus, its a non binding price floor
Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.
Effects of a binding price ceiling
1. It leads to shortages
2. it leads to the development of black markets
3. it prevents producers from raising price beyond a certain price
4. It lowers the price consumers pay for a product. This increases consumer surplus
the maximum price is 2.30 which is less than the equilibrium price of $2.50. Thus, its a binding price ceiling
A company must repay the bank $10,000 cash in three years for a loan. The loan agreement specifies 8% interest compounded annually. The present value factor for three years at 8% is 0.7938. How much cash did the company receive from the bank on the day they borrowed this money?
A. $12,400.
B. $9,200.
C. $7,938.
D. $7,600.
E. $10,000.
Answer: C. $7,938
Explanation:
This is a straightforward question. From the question, we are informed that a company must repay the bank $10,000 cash in three years for a loan and that the loan agreement specifies 8% interest compounded annually and we are given the present value factor for three years at 8% is 0.7938.
Therefore, the amount of cash that the company receive from the bank on the day they borrowed this money will be:
= $10000 × Present value factor at 8%
= $10000 × 0.7938
= $7938
To meet projected annual sales, Bluegill Manufacturers, Inc. needs to produce 75,000 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 7,000 units, and the desired December 31 inventory is 12,000 units. What are projected sales units for the year? fill in the blank 1 units
Answer: 70,000 units
Explanation:
You can use the formula for the ending inventory to get this:
Ending inventory = Opening inventory + Production for the year - Projected sales
12,000 = 7,000 + 75,000 - Projected sales
12,000 + Projected sales = 82,000
Projected sales = 82,000 - 12,000
Projected sales = 70,000 units

Answer:
B. $3,373
Explanation:
The computation is given below:
For Held- to -Maturity investment
Face Value of the bond = 100,000
Coupon rate = 6%, for Semi-annual Period should 6% ÷ 2 = 3%
Effective rate = 7% For Semi-annual Period should be 7% ÷ 2 = 3.5%
Now
Purchase Price of the Bond is
= 100,000 - 4000
= 96,000
Now
First interest :
Cash interest = 100,000 × 3% = 3,000
interest Revenue = 96,000 × 3.5% = 3,360
So,
Discount Amortized is
= 3360 - 3,000
= 360
And,
Carrying Value of the Bond should be
= 96,000 + 360
= 96,360
For Second YEar
Interest Revenue = Carrying Value Effective interest Rate
= 96,360 × 3.5%
= 3,372.6
= $3,373

On January 1, 2021, Princess Corporation leased equipment to King Company. The lease term is 11 years. The first payment of $700,000 was made on January 1, 2021. The equipment cost Princess Corporation $4,641,167. The present value of the lease payments is $5,001,197. The lease is appropriately classified as a sales-type lease. Assuming the interest rate for this lease is 10%, how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on this lease
Answer: $403,221.67
Explanation:
Interest revenue in 2022 = Value of Lease payments in 2022 * Interest rate
Value of lease payments after first payment :
= 5,001,197 - 700,000
= $4,301,197
Value of lease payments after second payment in 2022:
= Value of lease payment after first payment + Interest revenue - lease payment
= 4,310,197 + (4,310,197 * 10%) - 700,000
= $4,032,216.70
Interest revenue in 2022 = 4,032,216.70 * 10%
= $403,221.67
Ship Co. produces storage crates that require 29.0 meters of material at $0.50 per meter and 0.35 direct labor hours at $13.00 per hour. Overhead is applied at the rate of $14 per direct labor hour. What is the total standard cost for one unit of product that would appear on a standard cost card
Answer:
Total standard cost per unit= $23.95
Explanation:
First, we need to allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 14*0.35= $4.9
Now, the total direct material and total direct labor:
Direct material= 29*0.5= $14.5
Direct labor= 0.35*13= $4.55
Finally, the total cost per unit:
Total standard cost per unit= 4.9 + 14.5 + 4.55
Total standard cost per unit= $23.95

Under absorption costing, which of the following costs would not be included in finished goods inventory? a.overtime wages paid to factory workers b.the salaries for salespeople c.hourly wages of assembly worker d.straight-line depreciation on factory equipment
Answer:
b.the salaries for salespeople
Explanation:
Absorption costing is the method of costing that tries to itemise all factors that are used in manufacturing a product. These include direct materials, direct labour, and overhead.
However there is no provision for items under contributing margin (that is costs that are derived from sales revenue). Such costs can include salaries of sales people that are taken out of sales revenue.
Other items such as overtime wages paid to factory workers, hourly wages of assembly worker, and straight-line depreciation on factory equipment are all included in absorption costing
Year 2 Year 1 Sales $86,060 $74,200 Total assets at the end of the year 63,800 68,600 Total assets at the beginning of the year 68,600 79,800 a. Determine the asset turnover for The ABC Depot for Year 2 and Year 1. Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
a. We have:
Year 2 asset turnover = 1.3 times
Year 1 asset turnover = 1.0 time
b. Since asset turnover of the ABC Depot increases from 1.0 time in Year 1 to 1.3 times in Year 2, these turnover therefore indicate that the ability of The ABC Depot to use its assets to generate sales more effectively has increased/improved.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
The ABC Depot reported the following data (in millions) in its recent financial statements:
Year 2 Year 1
Sales $86,060 $74,200
Total assets at the end of the year 63,800 68,600
Total assets at the beginning of the year 68,600 79,800
a. Determine the asset turnover for The ABC Depot for Year 2 and Year 1. Round to one decimal place.
b. What do these turnover indicate concerning the trend in the ability of The ABC Depot to effectively use its assets to generate sales?
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
a. Determine the asset turnover for The ABC Depot for Year 2 and Year 1. Round to one decimal place.
The asset turnover can be calculated using the following formula:
Asset turnover = Sales / Average total assets ………………… (1)
Where:
Average total assets = (Total assets at the beginning of the year + Total assets at the end of the year) / 2
Using equation (1), we therefore have:
Year 2 asset turnover = $86,060 / (($68,600 + $63,800) / 2) = 1.3 times
Year 1 asset turnover = $74,200 / (($79,800 +$ 68,600) / 2) = 1.0 time
b. What do these turnover indicate concerning the trend in the ability of The ABC Depot to effectively use its assets to generate sales?
A higher asset turnover indicates that a company is using its assets to generate sales more effectively.
Since asset turnover of the ABC Depot increases from 1.0 time in Year 1 to 1.3 times in Year 2, these turnover therefore indicate that the ability of The ABC Depot to use its assets to generate sales more effectively has increased/improved.

Budgeted Actual Overhead cost $909,000 $884,000 Machine hours 55,000 46,000 Direct labor hours 101,000 98,000 Overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours. (a) Compute the predetermined overhead rate. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.)
Answer:
Missing word "(b) Determine the amount of overhead applied for the year?"
1. Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted overhead / Budgeted direct labor hours
Predetermined overhead rate = $909,000 / 101,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $9 per DLH
2. Overhead applied = Actual hours * Overhead rate
Overhead applied = 98,000 * $9 per DLH
Overhead applied = $882,000
Purple Cab Company had 70,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2021. On April 1, 2021, the company issued 40,000 shares of common stock. The company had outstanding fully vested incentive stock options for 7,000 shares exercisable at $12 that had not been exercised by its executives. The average market price of common stock was $14. The company reported net income in the amount of $289,915 for 2021. What is the basic earnings per share (rounded)
Answer:
Purple Cab Company
The basic earnings per share is:
= $2.64 per share.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 1, 2021, Outstanding common stock shares = 70,000
April 1, 2021, Issue of new common stock shares = 40,000
December, 31, 2021, Outstanding common stock shares = 110,000
Outstanding fully vested incentive stock options = 7,000
Exercise price of options = $12
Common stock market price = $14
Reported net income = $289,915
The basic earnings per share = $ (Net income/Outstanding common stock)
= $289,915/110,000
= $2.64 per share
b) The basic earnings per share does not include the fully vested incentive stock options. It is only when calculating the diluted earnings per share that the stock options will be included.

Calculate the total Social Security and Medicare tax burden on a sole proprietorship earning 2020 profit of $300,000, assuming a single sole proprietor with no other earned income.
Answer: $25,802.70
Explanation:
Social security
Social security rates in 2020 for a single sole proprietor is 12.40% on the first $137,700:
= 12.40% * 300,000
= $17,074.80
Medicare Tax
First you need to remove a deduction of 7.65% from the income:
= 300,000 * (1 - 7.65%)
= $277,050
Medicare tax is 2.90% of this adjusted amount in addition to 0.9% for any amount above $200,000:
= (2.90% * 277,050) + (0.9% * (277,050 - 200,000))
= 8,034.45 + 693.45
= $8,727.90
Total Social security and Medicare:
= 17,074.80 + 8,727.9
= $25,802.70

Dr. Interst Expense $19,979.32
Dr. Premium on Bond $1,620.68
Cr. Cash $21,600
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the premium on bond amortization as follow
Premium on bond amortization = Coupon Payment - Interest Expense
Premium on bond amortization = ( $480,000 x 8% x 6/12 ) - ( $499,483 x 8% x 6/12 )
Premium on bond amortization = $21,600 - $19,979.32
Premium on bond amortization = $1,620.68
If demand is not uniform and constant, then stockout risks can be controlled by: increasing the EOQ. spreading annual demand over more frequent, but smaller, orders. raising the selling price to reduce demand. adding safety stock. reducing the reorder point.
Answer: Adding safety stock
Explanation:
A stockout is when the orders of the customer for a particular product is more than the amount of inventory that is kept on hand and this leads to lost sales, and a negative impact on the long-term relationship with the customer.
Since the demand is not uniform and constant, then stockout risks can be controlled by adding safety stock. The safety stock is asimply the additional quantity of an item which is held in the inventory in order to help to reduce stockout risk.
