Twenty-five percent of the company's sales are for cash and 75% are on account. Collections for sales on account follow a stable pattern as follows: 50% of a month's credit sales are collected in the month of sale, 30% are collected in the month following sale, and 15% are collected in the second month following sale. The remainder are uncollectible. Given these data, cash collections for December should be:
Answers
Answer: $136,375
Explanation:
Going by the collections pattern of the company, there will be collections for 3 months in December being October, November and December.
December collections will be:
= (50% * December credit sales) + (30% * November Credit sales) + (15% * October credit sales) + December cash sales
December credit sales = 75% * 130,000 = $97,500
November credit sales = 75% * 170,000 = $127,500
October credit sales = 75% * 150,000 = $112,500
December collections are:
= (50% * 97,500) + (30% * 127,500) + (15% * 112,500) + (25% * 130,000)
= $136,375

In the market for factors of production (factor market), Simone and Rajiv offer their labor, capital, and other factors of production to firms in exchange for income. There is a continual exchange in the two markets between households and firms.
XYZ plans to sell 28,000 units in April. If it has 6,000 units on hand at the start of the month, and plans to have 9,000 units on hand at the end of the month, how many units must be purchased from the supplier during the month
Answers
Answer:
Purchases= 31,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 28,000 units
Beginning inventory= 6,000 units
Desired ending inventory= 9,000 units
To calculate the purchases, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 28,000 + 9,000 - 6,000
Purchases= 31,000
Sales $7,270,000 Gross profit $ 1,450,000 Indirect labor $330,000 Indirect materials $195,000 Other factory overhead $90,000 Materials purchased $5,100,000 Total manufacturing costs for the period $6,170,000 Materials inventory end of the period $ 480,000 how much direct material cost
Answers
Answer:
$5,775,000
Explanation:
Direct materials cost = Materials purchased + Indirect materials + Materials inventory, end of the period
Direct materials cost = $5,100,000 + $195,000 + $480,000
Direct materials cost = $5,775,000
So, the amount of the direct material cost is $5,775,000.

Zigzag Manufacturing has just hired a new controller, Leslie Demorest. During her first week on the job, Leslie was asked to establish a budget for operating expenses in 2019. Since Leslie was not yet familiar with the operations of Zigzag Manufacturing, she decided to budget these expenses using the same procedures as the prior controller. Therefore, in order to establish a budget for operating expenses, Leslie started with actual operating expenses incurred in 2018 and added 3.8%. Leslie based this percentage on inflation as measured by the consumer price index.
Required: Comment on the effectiveness of Leslie’s budgeting strategy.
Answers
Answer:
Zigzag Manufacturing
The Effectiveness of Leslie Demorest's Budgeting Strategy
The strategy of adjusting the previous year's operating expenses with inflation is not an effective way of strategic budget planning. Leslie's budgeting strategy does not take advantage of forecasts of unexpectedly good performance and fails to provide any reaction that can occur when there are downturns in cash flow.
An effective budgeting strategy should provide the standard for the effective use of financial resources of Zigzag Manufacturing in its business operations. There are no clear goals to be achieved and an evaluation of how the goals will be achieved through the budget implementation.
Explanation:
An effective budget should be able to forecast and track revenues and expenses, which are received and incurred in pursuit of business goals and projections. An effective budget ensures that those who implement the projections contained in the budget remain motivated. The idea of adjusting previous expenses with inflation is not an effective budgeting strategy.

Matthewo wns an insurance policy (face amount of $1,630,000) on the life of Emily with Uma listed as the designated beneficiary. Of Emily dies first and the $1,630,000 is paid to Uma, how much is included in the following gross estates?
a. Matthew's gross estate?
b. Emily's gross estate?
Answers
Answer:
a. $0b. $0Explanation:
Matthew owns an insurance policy that has designated Uma as the beneficiary. If Emily dies, the money will go to Uma and not to Matthew so Matthew will not include any amount in his estate.
If Emily dies, no amount goes to her estate either because Emily was not the beneficiary, Uma was. Emily dying will simply lead to Uma's estate getting the money and not Emily's.

Supernormal Growth Rizzi Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a 25 percent rate for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 7 percent thereafter. If the required return is 13 percent and the company just paid a $3.10 dividend, what is the current share price?
Answers
Answer:
$86.13
Explanation:
The computation of the current share price is shown below:
Given that
Dividend just Paid (D0) is $3.10
and Required Return (R ) 13%
Now
Dividend Paid in 1st year = $3.10 (1.25) = $3.875
Dividend Paid in 2ndyear = $3.875 (1.25) = $4.844
Dividend Paid in3rd year = $4.844 (1.25) = $6.055
Dividend Paid in 4th year = $6.055 (1.07) = $6.47
Now
Stock Price in 3rd year (P3) = D4 ÷ (R - g)
= $6.47 ÷ (0.13- 0.07)
= $107.83
Now the Current Share Price(P0) is
Current Share Price (P0) = $3.875 ÷ (1.13) + $4.844 ÷ (1.13)^2 + $6.055 ÷ (1.13)^3 + $107.83 ÷ (1.13)^3
= $3.42 +$3.79 + $4.19 + $74.73

One of the stations is running a series on HIV/AIDS in the community. Recent segments have included those listed below.
Homelessness related to HIV/AIDS
How persons living with HIV/AIDS suffer from being outcasts
How understanding has increased in some circles but prejudice remains in many.
An appealing case of a hemophiliac who acquired HIV/AIDS through transfusion at the university hospital has been reported in the series. The university and its teaching hospital are located elsewhere in the state.
At a staff meeting this morning, you learn that petitions are circulating in the community to request your hospital to convert its former nurses’ residence into a clinic and residential shelter for HIV/AIDS patients.
The hospital no longer maintains a school of nursing. The three-story brick building has been used for miscellaneous administrative purposes since nurses’ training was phased out. The residence is connected to the hospital by an elevated corridor, similar to a skywalk. It does not have facilities for food service or laundry. Nurses always ate at the hospital and the hospital handled their laundry. The residence and hospital are served by common systems for hot water, steam heat, ventilating and sewer. The building predates central air conditioning.
The human resources director reports that the business agent for kitchen and laundry workers, who are represented by a union, has already made informal contacts about this proposal, suggesting that grievances will result, at the very least, and a strike could ensue.
Your director of volunteers expresses concern about reaction of volunteers who now handle many peripheral duties. Your physical plant supervisor, who lives in the neighborhood, says neighbors are already anxious over the possibility of HIV/AIDS patients in their vicinity. Your hospital’s five-year Strategic Plan, which was recently updated, has no mention of developing an HIV/AIDS specialty.
Write a letter (using your own name) to the hospital CEO, John Dolman and the Board of Governors outlining your plan to resolve this issue. Remember, that your letter will be made public to the other audiences and publics. In your recommendations, you should provide both long and short-term strategies that would solve this problem. To solve this problem you should note if additional resources or expenditures would be need to achieve the goals that you define.
When writing the letter you should provide a brief description of the problems, you have found. What are the facts about major issues? Identify facts about key players in the case, the business problem(s) and then rank order the critical issues. Consider relevant information and underlying assumptions. Finally provide your recommendations.
As you write your recommendations, think about the following;
a. How do the cultural values at the hospital relate to communication, technology, information flow and openness?
b. As the hospital goes forward, should it stick to the espoused culture or should it change? How would you recommend that they change?
c. How would you suggest that they resolve this disparity? In other words what should they do?
d. Provide specific suggestions that will help the organization as they go forward.
e. In the closing, highlight benefits of your recommendations. As a PR director, you need to be honest but tactful in your recommendations

HIV AIDS is contagious disease. It is responsibility of the healthcare professionals to handle the person with special care. This virus spread quickly in the body of the victim and the person is often unaware of the disease due to very mild or no symptoms.

Respected Sir,
It is to bring into your knowledge about the spread of HIV/AIDS in the city. The people are unaware about the disease spread and those infected are carrying disease to others. There should be campaign run by the hospital to inform people about the spread of this contagious disease and preventions measures.
There should also be special arrangement for the people infected by the disease to stay and live in a separate house so the spread can be stopped. The hospital can allow people with symptoms for a free checkup so that more people can come and have their routine checkup.
It is high time because if the spread will increase at the same rate then controlling the disease would become difficult.
Regards,
John Andrews.
Proponents of the LIFO inventory cost flow assumption argue that this costing method is superior to the alternatives because it results in better matching of revenue and expense. The recent purchase costs to the Cost of Goods Sold account results in better matching of revenue and expense.
a. True
b. False
Answers
Answer: True
Explanation:
The assumption of the LIFO method is that the most recent goods which are added to the inventory of a company have been sold first.
This brings about a better matching of the cost incurred and the revenue since the most recent products added are the ones which are then sold first. Therefore, the correct option is True.

A. positive economics. B. negative economics. C. normative economics. D. economic naturalism.
Positive Economics is objective and statements are usually based on facts and economic theory. They can be tested.
For example, an increase in input would lead to a decrease in supply of the good is based on economic theory and facts. An increase in input would increase the cost of production and this would discourage sellers from producing.
Normative economics is based value judgements, opinions and perspectives. For example, the statement - social welfare spending in Sweden occupies too large a portion of the national budget - is based on opinion. To some the expenditure might be even too small. There is no economic theory that can be used to determine if this expenditure is too large or small

The company's times interest earned ratio equals:
Answers
Answer:
2.5 times
Explanation:
The company's times interest ratio is computed as;
= Income before interest expense and income taxes / Interest expenses
Given that;
Income before interest expense and income taxes = $19,200
Interest expenses = $7,800
Then,
Company's interest times ratio = $19,200 / $7,800
Company's interest times ratio = 2.5 times
The beginning inventory was 300 units at a cost of $10 per unit. Goods available for sale during the year were 1,300 units at a total cost of $14,400. In May, 600 units were purchased at a total cost of $6,600. The only other purchase transaction occurred during October. Ending inventory was 550 units.
Required:
a. Calculate the number of units purchased in October and the cost per unit purchased in October
b-1. Assume the periodic inventory system is used. Calculate cost of goods sold and ending inventory using FIFO method
b-2. Assume the periodic inventory system is used. Calculate cost of goods sold and ending inventory using LIFO method
Answers
Answer:
a. The number of units purchased in October = 400
The cost per unit = $12
b-1. Cost of goods sold = $7,950
Ending inventory = $6,450
b-2. Cost of goods sold = $8,650
Ending inventory = $5,750
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning inventory 300 units at $10 per unit = $3,000
May purchases 600 units at $11 per unit = 6,600
October purchases 400 units at $12 per unit = 4,800
Goods available 1,300 units $14,400
Ending inventory 550 units
Goods sold 750 units
a. The number of units purchased in October = 400 (1,300 - 300 - 600)
The cost per unit = $12 ($4,800/400)
b-1. Cost of goods sold and ending inventory using FIFO method:
Cost of goods sold:
300 units at $10 per unit = $3,000
450 units at $11 per unit = 4,950 $7,950
Ending inventory = $6,450 ($14,400 - $7,950)
b-2. Cost of goods sold and ending inventory using LIFO method:
Cost of goods sold:
350 units at $11 per unit = 3,850
400 units at $12 per unit = 4,800
Total Cost of goods sold = $8,650
Ending inventory = $5,750 ($14,400 - $8,650)

how does under investment affect the market
Answers
Answer:
Since the stock market is a vote of confidence, a crash can devastate economic growth. Lower stock prices mean less wealth for businesses, pension funds, and individual investors. Companies can't get as much funding for operations and expansion. When retirement fund values fall, it reduces consumer spending.
Explanation:
Economic Considerations
Business investment can affect the economy's short-term and long-term growth. In the short term, an increase in business investment directly increases the current level of gross domestic product (GDP), because physical capital is itself produced and sold.
Taveras Corporation is currently operating at 50% of its available manufacturing capacity. It uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Machine-hours required to support estimated production 200,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 2,800,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 2.00 Required: 1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Job P90 was started, completed, and sold to the customer for $3,200. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 1,472 Direct labor cost $ 1,056 Machine-hours used 79 Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90.
Answers
Answer:
the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90 is $3,792
Explanation:
The computation of the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90 is given below:
But before that the predetermined overhead rate should be calculated
So,
= ($2,800,000 ÷ 200,000) + $2
= $16
Now the total manufacturing cost is
= $1,472 + $1,056 + 79 × $16
= $3,792
hence, the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90 is $3,792
