Answer: Social media allows companies to have a short-term focus.
Explanation:
Social Media has made the world way more connected than it was before even with the advent of the Internet. As such, companies were able to leverage on this to improve their brand and popularity by being present on the various social media platforms.
With social media, companies have been able to marketers to establish a public voice and presence online, cost-effectively reinforce other communication activities, build online forums and communities as well as remain relevant in a fast changing world.
Companies having a short term focus as a result of social media is not a benefit of social media. A company should always think long term and even social media can help them achieve long term growth if long term marketing plans are integrated with social media marketing.
A company has established 7 pounds of Material J at $2 per pound as the standard for the material in its Product Z. The company has just produced 1,000 units of this product, using 7,200 pounds of Material J that cost $13,080. The direct materials quantity variance is:
Answer:
-$400 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of direct materials quantity variance is shown below:-
Direct material quantity variance = (Standard Quantity × Standard Price) - (Actual quantity × Standard price)
= (1,000 × 7 × $2) - (7,200 × $2)
= $14,000 - $14,400
= -$400 unfavorable
Therefore for computing the direct material quantity variance we simply applied the above formula.
An appraiser estimated the replacement cost new of a building at $560,000. The building has an estimated economic life of 40 years and an estimated remaining life of 30 years. What is the current value of the building
Answer:
The answer is $420,000
Explanation:
To find the amount of depreciation being charged years, we use the following formula:
Cost of the asset ÷ number of useful life
Cost of the asset - $560,000
Number of useful life - 40 years
$560,000 ÷ 40 years
$14,000.
The asset has 30 years remaining, that means it has used 10 years. So the accumulated depreciation is $140,000
And the current value of the building now is $420,000($560,000 - $140,000)
The current value of the building is $420000
The estimated economic life is 40 years, hence after 40 years the value of the house would be 0.
Since the estimated remaining life is 30 years. Hence:
Percentage value of house = 30 remaining years / 40 economic year
Percentage value of house = 0.75 * 100 = 75%
The current value of the building = 75% * $560000 = $420000
The current value of the building is $420000

Dragon Sports Inc. manufactures and sells two products, baseball bats and baseball gloves. The fixed costs are $620,000, and the sales mix is 40% bats and 60% gloves. The unit selling price and the unit variable cost for each product are as follows: Products Unit Selling Price Unit Variable Cost Bats $90 $50 Gloves 105 65 a. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the overall enterprise product, E.
Answer:
$15,500 units
Explanation:
For the computation of break-even sales (units) for the overall enterprise product, E first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Contribution margin = (Selling price - Variable costs)
For Bats $90 - $50
= $40
For Gloves = $105 - $65
= $40
Overall contribution margin = (40 × 40%) + (40 × 60%)
= $40
a.Break-even point = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin
= $620,000 ÷ 40
= $15,500 units
Assume that your parents wanted to have a 170,000 saved for college by your 18th birthday and they started saving on your first birthday. They saved the same amount each year on your birthday and earned 6.5% per year on their investmenets.Required:a. How much would they have to save each year to reach their goal?b. If they think you will take five years instead of four to graduate to graduate and decide to have $140,000 saved just in case, how much more would they have to save each year to reach their new goal?
Answer:
a. They will have to save $5,245.28 each year to reach their goal of $170,000.
b. They will have to save $925.63 less to reach their new goal of $140,000.
Note: The answer to part b is based on the information in the question. Therefore, the correct answer is "they will have to save $925.63 less" not "save more" as suggested in the question. Kindly confirm this from your teacher.
Explanation:
a. How much would they have to save each year to reach their goal?
Since the saving started on your first birthday to have $170,000 saved, it implies the saving will be on your every birthday for 18 years. Therefore, the relevant formula to use to determine this is the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r} ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value of the amount after your 18th birthday = $170,000
M = Yearly saving to have $170,000 = ?
r = interest rate = 6.5%, 0.065
n = number of years this savings will be made = 18
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:
$170,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.065)^18 - 1] / 0.065}
$170,000 = M * 32.4100673759666
M = $170,000 / 32.4100673759666
M = $5,245.28
Therefore, they will have to save $5,245.28 each year to reach their goal of $170,000.
b. If they think you will take five years instead of four to graduate to graduate and decide to have $140,000 saved just in case, how much more would they have to save each year to reach their new goal?
First, we have to calculate how much they will save each year, by also using the Future Value (FV) for calculating an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FVn = Mn * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r} ................................. (1)
Where,
FV1 = New future value of the amount after your 18th birthday = $140,000
M1 = New yearly saving to have $140,000 = ?
r = interest rate = 6.5%, 0.065
n = number of years this savings will be made = 18
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M1, we have:
$140,000 = M1 * {[(1 + 0.065)^18 - 1] / 0.065}
$140,000 = M1 * 32.4100673759666
M1 = $140,000 / 32.4100673759666
M1 = $4,319.65
Therefore, they will have to save $4,319.65 each year to reach their goal of $140,000.
To obtain difference in yearly savings, we have:
Difference in yealy saving = M - M1 = $5,245.28 - $4,319.65 = $925.63
Since $5,245.28 each year to reach their goal of $170,000 is greater than $4,319.65 each year to reach their goal of $140,000, it therefore implies that they will have to save $925.63 less to reach their new goal of $140,000.

The following information describes the production activities of Mercer Manufacturing for the year.
Actual direct materials used 28,000 lbs. at $4.90 per lb.
Actual direct labor used 8,650 hours for a total of $174,730
Actual units produced 51,600
The budgeted standards for each unit produced are 0.50 pounds of direct material at $6.85 per pound and 10 minutes of direct labor at $21.20 per hour.
1. Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances. Do not round intermediate calculations.
2. Compute the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. Indicate whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
Actual Quantity = 28,000
Actual Price = 4.90
Standard Quantity = 25,800
Standard Price = 4.85
1)a. Direct Material Price variance = (Standard price – Actual Price)*Actual Quantity
= (4.85 - 4.90) * 28,000
= $1,400 U
b. Direct Material Quantity variance = (Standard Quantity – Actual Quantity)*Standard price
= (51,600*0.5 - 28,000)*4.85
= $10,670 U
2) a. Direct Labor Rate Variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate)*Actual Hours
= (21.20 - 20.2) * 8,650
= $8,650 F
b. Direct Labor Efficiency variance = (Standard Hours – Actual Hours)*Standard rate
= (51,600*1/6 - 8,650) * 21.20
= $1,060 U

Specialty Auto Parts Company uses the indirect method to prepare its statement of cash flows. Refer to the following information for 2018: Net cash provided by operating activities: $108,000 Net cash used for investing activities: ($118,500) Net cash provided by financing activities: $16,000 If the cash balance at the beginning of the year was $13,200, what is the ending cash balance? A. $18,700 B. $13,200 C. $10,500 D. $5,500
Answer: $18,700
Explanation
Net cash provided by the operating activities = $108,000
Add: Net cash provided by the financing activities = $16,000
Less : The net cash used for the investing activities = $118,500
The net increase in Cash will now.be:
= ($108,00 + $16,000) - $118,500
= $5,500
Add: Cash at the beginning of the year. This will be:
= $5500 + $13,200
= $18,700
Ending cash balance will be $18700
Moorcroft sales are 40% cash and 60% credit. Credit sales are collected 20% in the month of sale, 50% in the month following sale, and 26% in the second month following sale; 4% are uncollectible. Moorcroft purchases are 50% cash and 50% on account. Purchases on account are paid 40% in the month following the purchase and 60% in the second month following the purchase.Prepare a schedule of expected collections from customers for June.
Answer:
The budgeted sales are missing, so I looked for them. I found the following question, hopefully it will be similar:
Month Sales
April $300,000
May $320,000
June $370,000
Schedule of expected collections
For the month of June, 202x
Cash sales during June = $370,000 x 40% = $148,000
Collection from June's credit sales = $222,000 x 20% = $44,400
Collection from May's credit sales = $192,000 x 50% = $96,000
Collection from April's credit sales = $180,000 x 26% = $46,800
Total cash collections during June = $335,200
Margin on price as a percentage is the expression of how much you mark your product up by to arrive at your retail price. True False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The margin on price refers to a percentage by taking a difference between the gross profit and the selling price
Here gross profit comes by
= Selling price - cost price
Now in the cost price we added some markup percentage i.e most probably equivalent to the retail price
Hence, the given statement is false

Suppose that Dunkin Donuts reduces the price of its regular coffee from $2 to $1 per cup, and as a result, the quantity sold per day increased from 10 to 40. Over this price range, the price elasticity of demand for Dunkin Donuts’ regular coffee is:
Answer:price elasticity of demand for Dunkin Donuts’ regular coffee is 1.8
Explanation: Using the midpoint formnulae
Price elasticity of Demand =percentage change in quantity demanded/ Percentage change in price.
Percentage change in quantity = new quantity - old quantity / (new quantity + old quantity)/2 x 100
= 40-10/(40+10)/ 2 = 30 /25 = 1.2 x 100 =120%
Percentage change in price = new price - old price / new price + old price)/2 x 100
= 1- 2 / (1+2)/2= -1/1.5x 100 = -66.67 %
Price elasticity of Demand =percentage change in quantity demanded/ Percentage change in price.
= 120%/-66.67%= -1.79 = -1.8
For Price elasticity of demand, the sign is not included and the basis for elasticity is on the value itself . here we can conclude that the Price elasticity of demand for Dunkin donut is 1.8 and elastic because a fall in price led to an increase in amount being sold.
IOP Company purchased a machine on 1/1/22 costing $500. Estimated life was 5 years; estimated salvage value was $100. In 2025, IOP discovered that the bookkeeper correctly used straight-line depreciation, but erroneously used an estimated life of 8 years in computing depreciation for the first 3 years of life. The Prior Period Adjustment to be recorded in 2025 will be:
Answer:
The Prior Period Adjustment to be recorded in 2025 will include a $90 debit as adjustment to Retained Earnings
Explanation:
Correct depreciation would have been = ($500-$100)/5 = $80
Depreciation charged wrongly as ($500-$400)/8 = $50
Therefore depreciation has been charged short by $30 for three years, thereby reflecting income greater by $30 each year for 3 years.
Since due to wrong depreciation retained earnings is higher by $90, therefore we have to debit retained earnings by $90
You have a $46,000 portfolio consisting of Intel, GE, and Con Edison. You put $20,800 in Intel, $10,400 in GE, and the rest in Con Edison. Intel, GE, and Con Edison have betas of 1.3, 1, and .8, respectively. What is your portfolio beta? Multiple Choice 1.071 0.976 0.824 1.393
Answer: 1.071
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is the weighted average of the constituent stock betas.
Intel Weight
= 20,800/46,000
= 0.45217
GE Weight
= 10,400/46,000
= 0.22609
Con Edison
= (46,000 - 20,800 - 10,400) / 46,000
= 0.32174
Portfolio Beta;
= (0.45217 * 1.3) + (0.22609 * 1) + (0.32174 * 0.8)
= 0.587821 + 0.22609 + 0.257392
= 1.071303
= 1.071
A stock is bought for $24.00 and sold for $26.00 one year later, immediately after it has paid a dividend of $1.50. What is the capital gain rate for this transaction?
Answer:
8.33%
Explanation:
A stock is bought for $23.00
The stock is sold for $26 after one year
The dividend paid is $1.50
Therefore, the capital gain rate can be calculated as follows
Capital gain= P1-Po/Po
= 26-24/24
= 2/24
= 0.0833 ×100
= 8.33%
Hence the capital gain rate for this transaction is 8.33%
Builtrite has calculated the average cash flow to be $16,000 with a standard deviation of $4000. What is the probability of a cash flow being less than $9000? (Assume a normal distribution.)
Answer:
4%
Explanation:
For Builtrite, we can find the probability of cash flows by using the following formula:
Z = (X - C) / S
Average Cash Flow is $16000 which denoted by "C"
Standard Deviation is $4000 and is denoted by "S"
And
For cash flows that are less than $9000 which is denoted by X in the equation, "Z" can be calculated as under:
Z = (X - C) / S = ($9,000 - $16,000) / $4,000 = -1.75
As Z is less than -1.75, now we can see that the probability from the Z-table is 4% for -1.75.
Hence the probability of cash flow below $9,000 is 4%.
An investment adviser places large block trades for securities positions that are being purchased for its customers' accounts in order to lower its commission costs. The trades are often executed piecemeal, at different prices. The adviser, after being confirmed that the entire block has been filled, allocates the shares to its accounts. As a favor to its most valuable employees, the adviser allocates the shares purchased at the lowest prices to its employees' accounts; and then allocates the remaining shares to its customer accounts pro-rata. The adviser has disclosed its allocation method only to its employees. Which statement is TRUE
Answer: The investment adviser has breached its fiduciary duty because it has not disclosed its method of allocating shares to its customers
Explanation:
The options to the question are:
a. The investment adviser has breached its fiduciary duty to its customers because the block order must be executed at one price, not in pieces at differing prices
b. The investment adviser has breached its fiduciary duty because it has not disclosed its method of allocating shares to its customers
c. The investment adviser has not breached its fiduciary duty because it has disclosed its method of allocating shares to its employees
d. The investment adviser has not breached its fiduciary duty to customers because it has obtained trade executions for customers at lower commission costs.
Based on the scenario in the question, it should be noted that the investment adviser has breached its fiduciary duty because it has not disclosed its method of allocating shares to its customers.
Fiduciary duty is a legal obligation whereby a party has to work in the best interest of the other party and should also be trustworthy but in this situation, this isn't thw case.
Martin works as a pizza delivery person.He parks his bike outside Regalia Inc.to deliver an order.Meanwhile,a damaged book rack in Regalia,which is situated on the first floor of the building,falls down through an open window and crashes on his bike.However,no one admits to having seen the rack fall.Can Martin recover against Regalia for negligence?
A) Martin can recover only if he finds a witness who saw the book rack crashing on the bike.
B) Martin can recover if he can prove that book racks do not fall out of windows in the absence of negligence and that Regalia Inc. had exclusive control of the rack prior to the fall.
C) Martin will be unable to recover because parking under an open floor window amounts to contributory negligence and he is therefore liable for the accident too.
D) Martin will be unable to recover because parking under an open window amounts to assumption of risk.
Answer:
B) Martin can recover if he can prove that book racks do not fall out of windows in the absence of negligence and that Regalia Inc. had exclusive control of the rack prior to the fall.
Explanation:
Negligence is defined as a situation where a person does not take due care and conduct oneself like a reasonable person in a given circumstance.
When a defendant is negligent he will be held responsible for damage that results from his negligence.
In this scenario Martin's parked his bike and makes a delivery, meanwhile a book rack falls on his bike.
Martin's can only recover against Regalia if he proves that he was not negligent in any way, and that Regalia had control of the rack before the fall.
For example if Martins did not park his bike in a designated parking spot, he can be seen to be negligent. In that case he will not be able to recover against Regalia.
Orleans Corporation, a U.S. corporation, reported U.S. taxable income of $2,000,000. Included in the computation of taxable income was a $400,000 dividend from a 5%-owned Canadian subsidiary. A withholding tax of $8,000 was imposed on the dividend. What is Orleans’s net U.S. tax liability?
Answer:
$420,000
Explanation:
Calculation for Orleans’s net U.S. tax liability
Using this formula
Tax liability=Taxable income×U.S tax rate
Let plug in the formula
Tax liability=$2,000,000×21%
Tax liability=$420,000
Therefore Orleans’s net U.S. tax will be $420,000. The withholding tax amount of $8,000 was not included because it was already imposed on the dividend.
The following data were reported by a corporation: Authorized shares 38,000 Issued shares 33,000 Treasury shares 12,500 The number of outstanding shares is:
Answer:
20,500 shares
Explanation:
Authorized shares= 38,000
Issued shares= 33,000
Treasury shares= 12,500
Therefore, the number of outstanding shares can be calculated as follows
Outstanding shares= Issued shares-Treasury shares
= 33,000-12,500
=20,500
Hence the number of outstanding shares is 20,500

What do you notice about these two break-even EBITs for Alpha Company? a. What is the break-even EBIT for Alpha Company using EPS if there are no corporate taxes?
Complete Question:
Alpha company is looking at two different capital structures, one an all-equity firm and the other a leverages firm with $2 million of debt financing at 8% interest. The all-equity firm will have a value of $4 million and 400,000 shares outstanding. The leveraged firm will have 200,000 shares outstanding.
a. Find the break even EBIT for Alpha company using EPS if there are no corporate taxes.
b.Find the break even EBIT for Alpha company using EPS if the corporate tax rate is 30%
c. What do you notice about these two break-even EBITs for Alpha company?
Answer:
Alpha Company
a. Break-even EBIT, using EPS without taxes:
= (EBIT - Interest 1) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares = (EBIT - Interest 2) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares
With alternative 1, there are no taxes, so:
= (EBIT - Interest 1)/No. of shares = EBIT - Interest 2)/No. of shares
= (EBIT - 0)/400,000 = EBIT - ($2,000,000 x 8%)/200,000
= (EBIT/400,000( = (EBIT - $160,000)/200,000
cross-multiplying:
EBIT200,000 = EBIT$64,000,000,000
dividing by 200,000:
EBIT = $64,000,000,000/200,000
EBIT = $320,000
b. Break-even EBIT, using EPS with taxes:
= (EBIT - Interest 1) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares = (EBIT - Interest 2) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares
= {(EBIT - $0) * (1 - 0.30)}/400,000 = {(EBIT - $160,000) * (1 - 0.30)}/200,000
= EBIT/400,000 = (EBIT - $112,000)/200,000
cross-multiplying:
= EBIT 200,000 = EBIT $44,800,000,000
EBIT = $44,800,000,000/200,000
= $224,000
c. The two break-even EBITs are not the same. When there are taxes, the break-even EBIT is $224,000, less by $96,000.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Alternative 1: All Equity:
No. of shares = 400,000
Value of shares = $4,000,000
Debt = $0
Interest on Debt = $0
Alternative 2: Equity + Debt:
No. of shares = 200,000
Value of shares = $2,000,000
Debt = $2,000,000
Interest on Debt = 8% or $160,000
b) Alpha's break-even EBIT is the point when the EBIT under alternative 1 are equal to the EBIT under alternative 2. This implies that under these given alternative financing options, the earnings before interest and taxes are before no matter the alternative chosen.
Vijay Inc. purchased a 3-acre tract of land for a building site for $420,000. On the land was a building with an appraised value of $120,000. The company demolished the old building at a cost of $12,000, but was able to sell scrap from the building for $1,500. The cost of title insurance was $900 and attorney fees for reviewing the contract was $500. Property taxes paid were $3,000, of which $500 covered the period subsequent to the purchase date. The capitalized cost of the land is:
Answer:
$433,900
Explanation:
The computation of the capitalized cost of the land is shown below:-
Capitalized cost of the land = Purchase price + Demolition of building + Title insurance + Attorney fee + Property taxes covered during the period - Scrap value from the building
= $420,000 + $12,000 + $900 + ($3,000 - $500) - $1,500
= $420,000 + $12,000 + $900 + $2,500 - $1,500
= $435,400 - $1,500
= $433,900
