The available options are:
A. Amelia, a business creditor attempting to collect her own debt from Bednar, a private party customer who had fallen six-months behind on payments to Amelia.
B. Mees, the owner of a debt collection agency, who is attempting to collect a debt as an agent of Big Corporation.
C. Nichole, a business creditor attempting to collect her own debt from Jared Incorporated, a business debtor that had fallen one-year behind on payments to Nichole.
D. The restrictions of the FDCPA would apply to Amelia the business creditor, Nichole the business creditor and Mees, the debt collection agent.
Answer:
B. Mees, the owner of a debt collection agency, who is attempting to collect a debt as an agent of Big Corporation.
Explanation:
The restrictions of the fair debt collection practice act apply only to the "DEBT COLLECTORS who obtain an account for a collection of debt that belongs to another company."
This is defined by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Section 803, subchapter 6. The term DEBT COLLECTOR is carefully defined in six categories, and it does not involve business creditors attempting to collect their debt by themselves, the closest is their employees attempting to collect the debt on their behalf.
Hence, considering the available options, the correct answer is "Mees, the owner of a debt collection agency, who is attempting to collect a debt as an agent of Big Corporation."

Start Inc. has 5,000 shares of 6%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2012. What is the annual dividend on the preferred stock? Group of answer choices $60 per share $30,000 in total $50,000 in total $0.60 per share
Answer:
$30,000 in total
Explanation:
The annual dividend on preferred stock can be determined based on the dividend rate, in other words, the annual dividend is the dividend rate multiplied by the face value of the preferred stock as shown thus:
annual dividend on preferred stock=number of preferred shares outstanding*par value per share*dividend rate
number of preferred shares outstanding=5,000
par value per share=$100
dividend rate=6%
50,000 shares refer to the number of common stocks outstanding
annual dividend on preferred stock=5000*$100*6%
annual dividend on preferred stock=$30,000
dividend per share=$30000/5000=$6

Reed Corp. has set the following standard direct materials and direct labor costs per unit for the product it manufactures Direct materials (10 lbs. $3 per lb. Direct labor (2 hrs. $12 per hr $30 24 During June the company incurred the following actual costs to produce 9,000 units Direct materials (92,000 lbs $2.95 per 1b. 271,400 226,540 Direct labor (18,800 hr. $12.05 per hr AQ Actual Quantity SQ Standard Quantity AP Actual Price SP Standard Price AH Actual Hours SH Standard Hours AR Actual Rate SR - Standard Rate
(1) Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances
(2) Compute the direct labor rate variance and the direct labor efficiency variance. Indicate whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (3 - 2.95)*92,000
Direct material price variance= $4,600 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (10*9,000 - 92,000)*3
Direct material quantity variance= $6,000 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (2*9,000 - 18,800)*12
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $9,600 unfavorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (12 - 12.05)*18,800
Direct labor rate variance= $940 unfavorable
Fones Inc. and Speed Dial Corp. are two competitors in the mobile phone market. The cost incurred by each company to manufacture smartphones is $200 per unit. Although both the companies sell their smartphones at the same price, Speed Dial Corp. has a larger market share in the smartphone industry. What does this imply
Answer: C. Speed Dial Corp has been able to offer more perceived value than Fones Inc.
Explanation:
Both companies incur the same costs to produce the phone and also sell at the same price. This means that they should be selling the same number of phones in theory. This is not the case however as Speed Dial Corp is selling more.
The reason Speed Dial must be selling more phones is that they sell a better phone for the same price. In offering more value to the customer for the same price, the customers are buying more from Speed Dial than from Fones because they are getting a better deal for the same price which means that Speed Dial's phone is undervalued.

Anna works on an assembly line where it takes her 20 minutes to produce 150 units of a product needed to fill a container. It takes her an additional 5 minutes to transport the container to Josh, who works at the next station. The company uses a safety stock of 20%. The current assembly line uses 5 kanbans between Anna’s and Josh’s stations. What is the demand for the product? Calculate the answer in units per minute. Calculate in Excel and round down to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
Hence the demand for the product D = 25 units per min.
Explanation:
Units produced (C) = 150
Time for production = 20 min
Time for transport = 5 min
Total time (T) = 20 + 5 = 25 min
Safety stock (S) = 20%
Number of Kanban (y) = 5
Demand unit per min = D
[tex]y = D*T*(1+x)/C\\5 = D*25*(1+0.2)/150\\30 = D*1.2\\D = 30/12*10[/tex]
D= 25 units per min.

George Company has the opportunity to purchase an asset that costs $40,000. The asset is expected to increase net income by $10,000 per year. Depreciation expense will be $5,000 per year. Based on this information the payback period is:
Answer:
2 years 8 months.
Explanation:
The payback period is the length of time that it takes for the future cash flows to equal the amount of initial investment.
We use cashflows instead of net income in payback calculation. Therefore, add back the depreciation expense.
Yearly Cash flow will thus be $15,000 ($10,000 + $5,000)
Payback Period :
$40,000 = $15,000 (Year 1) + $15,000 (Year 2 )+ $10,000/$15,000 x 12 (Year 3)
This gives a payback period of 2 years 8 months
Gamble Corporation had beginning inventory $100,000, cost of goods purchased $700,000, and ending inventory $140,000. What was Gamble's inventory turnover? Group of answer choices 5 times. 5.5 times. 5.83 times. 6.6 times.
Answer:
5.83 times
Explanation:
The computation of the Gamble's inventory turnover is given below:
As we know that
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ (ending inventory + opening inventory) ÷ 2
= $700,000 ÷ ($140,000 + $100,000) ÷ 2
= $700,000 ÷ $120,000
= 5.83 times

The cost method of accounting for stock: __________
a. recognizes dividends as income
b. is only appropriate as part of a consolidation
c. requires the investment be increased by the reported net income of the investee
d. requires the investment be decreased by the reported net income of the investee

Delta airlines is consider purchase of two alternative planes. Plane A has an expected life of 5 years, will cost $100 million and will produce net cash flow of $30 million per year. Plane B has a life of 10 years, will cost $132 million, and will produce net cash flows of $25 million per year. Delta plans to serve the route for only 10 years. Delta's cost of capital is 12% and the inflation is expected to be zero. what is the equivalent annual annuity of plane A
Answer:
$2.26 million
Explanation:
Plane A:
Initial outlay = $100 million
Annual cash flows = $30 million
Expected life = 5 years
Cost of capital = 12%
EAW = (r x NPV) / [1 - (1 + r)⁻ⁿ]
Using a financial calculator: NPV = $8.14 million
EAW = (12% x $8.14) / [1 - (1 + 12%)⁻⁵] = $0.9768 / 0.432573 = $2.2581 ≈ $2.26 million
A truck acquired at a cost of $120,000 has an estimated residual value of $5,300, has an estimated useful life of 37,000 miles, and was driven 3,300 miles during the year. Determine the following. If required, round your answer for the depreciation rate to two decimal places.
a. The depreciable cost $
b. The depreciation rate $ per mile
c. The units-of-activity depreciation for the year $
Answer:
Cost of Truck = $120,000
Residual Value = $5,300
Useful Life = 37,000 miles
a. Depreciable Cost = Cost of Truck - Residual Value
Depreciable Cost = $120,000 - $5,300
Depreciable Cost = $114,700
b. Depreciation Rate = Depreciable Cost / Useful Life
Depreciation Rate = $114,700/37,000 miles
Depreciation Rate = $3.1 per mile
c. Number of miles driven during the year = 3,300
Depreciation for the Year = Depreciation Rate * Number of miles driven during the year
Depreciation for the Year = $3.1 per mile * 3,300
Depreciation for the Year = $10,230
Materials Variances North Wind manufactures decorative weather vanes that have a standard materials cost of two pounds of raw materials at $1.50 per pound. During September 5,000 pounds of raw materials costing $1.75 per pound were used in making 2,400 weather vanes. Determine the materials price and quantity variance
Answer:
Material price variance = 1250
Quantity variance = 300
Explanation:
Actual price of raw material = $1.75
Standard price = $1.50
Actual quantity = $5000
Material price variance = [Actual price - Standard price] x Actual quantity
Material price variance = [1.75 - 1.50] x 5000
Material price variance = 1250
Quantity variance = [Actual quantity - Standard quantity] x Standard price
Quantity variance = [5000 - 2400 x 2] x 1.50
Quantity variance = 300
Answer:
Material price variance $1,250
Material quantity variance $300
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the materials price and quantity variance
MATERIAL PRICE VARIANCE
Using this formula
Material price variance=(AP-SP)*AQ
Let plug in the formula
Material price variance=($1.75-$1.50)*5,000
Material price variance=$0.25*5,000
Material price variance=$1,250
Therefore Material price variance is $1,250
MATERIAL QUANTITY VARIANCE
Using this formula
Material quantity variance=(AQ-SQ)*SP
Let plug in the formula
Material quantity variance=(5,000-2*2,400)*$1.50
Material quantity variance=(5,000-4,800)*$1.50
Material quantity variance=200*$1.50
Material quantity variance=$300
Therefore Material quantity variance is $300
Question 9 Suppose money invested in a hedge fund earns 1% per trading day. There are 250 trading days per year. What will be your annual return on $100 invested in the fund if the manager allows you to reinvest in the fund the 1% you earn each day
Answer:
1103.22%
Explanation:
The value of the investment at the end of the year assuming 250 trading days per year can be computed the future value formula provided below:
FV=PV*(1+daily return)^n
PV=initial investment=$100
daily return=reinvestment rate=1%
n=number of trading days in a year=250
FV=$100*(1+1%)^250
FV=$ 1,203.22
Annual return=( 1,203.22/$100)-1
Annual return=1103.22%
