Answer: low: higher
Explanation:
A buyer always wants to pay a price that is as low as possible, but never higher than the buyer's willingness to pay.
As a way to save costs, a buyer will always seek to pay the lowest price they can possibly pay for a good or service. This is why some buyers negotiate prices and seek trade discounts.
Buyers will however have in mind a maximum price that they would be willing to pay. This is called their willingness to pay and it is a threshold that they would not want to exceed. If a good's price is higher than their willingness to pay, they will not buy the good.
The Heinlein and Krampf Investment firm has just been instructed by one of its clients to invest $250,000 for her money. The client has a good deal of trust in the investment firm, but she has also her own ideas about the distribution of funds being invested. In particular, she requests the following: - municipal bonds should constitute at least 20% of the investment - at least 40% of the investment should be placed in a combination of electronic firms, aerospace firms, and drug manufacturers. - no more than 50% of the amount invested in municipal bonds should be placed in nursing home stock. Subject to these constraints, the client's goal is to maximize her return on investments. The investment firm has the following estimated rate of returns on investment choices: 5.3% Electronics Investment Estimated rate of return (%) Los Angeles Municipal Bonds Thompson Electronics 6.8% United Aerospace 4.9% Palmer Drugs 8.4% Happy Days Nursing Homes 11.8% What is the optimal rate of return for the client's portfolio

Recent research indicates that it may take only a few minutes to prevent unethical behavior. When workers face a choice between right and
wrong, they are about five times more likely to make the unethical choice when the decision is rushed.* Think about times in your life when you faced a moral decision and made the wrong choice. Did you feel rushed to make the decision? If you had taken more time to think or consult an ethical colleague, would you have made a different decision? (5-7 sentences )
Answer:
I had once visited a client and he, unusually, offered me a complimentary tip. Somewhere at the back of my mind, it felt off. So I declined. He on the other hand persisted.
Because I wanted to round up the meeting, I eventually accepted and left.
The next day was our weekly in-house academy - a day of the week when we set aside about 2 hours for learning and re-learning.
At that meeting, the HR Executive did a reminder on the value of the organisation, as well as the ethics which guide our operations. There she mentioned categorically that it was prohibited by the company to accept any type of cash gifts from the client or from the insurance companies.
As, soon as the meeting was done, I reported myself to the HR Executive and she advised that I return it and I did immediately, thankfully, the exact note was still in my possession.
I wrote a letter to the client respectfully returning the gift on the grounds that company policy forbade it and that marked the end of that episode.
If I had the company blueprint on ethics at my fingertips, I would have insisted on my initial position not to take the gift.
Cheers

. Which two of the four basic tax planning variables increase the value of Vern's investment? (Select All That Apply).
Answer and Explanation:
Two tax planning variables that increase investment include:
Time period variable; this variable considers when the transaction occurs during the year and tax is calculated based on this. The present value of tax cost reduces tax cost as tax is not collected immediately but is deferred.
Character variable: this variable considers the nature of the transaction and then taxes based on this, such as income from capital gain when an asset is sold, is taxed differently using a different rate from tax on operating income

Answer:
Como podemos definir la Maquila.
Una maquila es una empresa manufacturera que importa materia prima sin aranceles de un país determinado, la transforma en producto terminado, y luego vende ese producto terminado en el país de donde importó la materia prima en primer lugar.
Frente a la competencia en el mercado, cuales son los objetivos que persiguen las empresas multinacionales con la creación del sistema de maquilas en la producción de bienes?
Las multinacionales persiguen abaratar costos con las maquilas. En un entorno competitivo, tener unos costos de producción más bajos es una de las mejores estrategias corporativas ya que esto genera precios más bajos.
Por qué la maquila se convierte en un factor que favorece la capacidad de competencia de las empresas multinacionales en el mercado.
Porque les permite producir bienes a precios más bajos.
Qué ventajas brinda el fenómeno maquilador a los consumidores finales de los bienes.
Los consumidores se benefician de poder comprar productos más baratos, lo que significa que su ingreso rinde más.
Cuales empresas salen perjudicadas en el mercado municipal, por la competencia de la maquila controlada por las multinacionales y las familias ricas de la economía nacional y Por Qué.
Las empresas que salen perjudicadas son aquellas que no pueden competir con los bajos costos y las economías de escala de las compañías multinacionales que tienen maquilas, y que por ésta razón, terminan ofreciendo productos más costosos, lo que repercute de forma negativa en su nivel de ventas.
If the elasticity of demand for college textbooks is -0.1, and the price of textbooks increases by 20%, how much will the quantity demanded change, and in what direction
Answer:
The quantity demanded will decrease by 2%.
Explanation:
This can be determined using the elasticity formula as follows:
e = Percentage change in quantity demanded change / Percentage change in price ........ (1)
Where;
e = elasticity of demand for college textbooks = -0.1
Percentage change in quantity demanded change = ?
Percentage change in price = 20%
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for Percentage change in quantity demanded change
-0.1 = Percentage change in quantity demanded change / 20%
Percentage change in quantity demanded change = -0.1 * 20% = -0.02, or -2%
Since the Percentage change in quantity demanded change is negative 2%, it implies that the quantity demanded will decrease by 2%.
A business buys $5000 worth of resources to produce a good. The business makes 100 units of the good and each of them sells for $65. The value added by the business to these products is:
a. $5,000
b. $6,500
c. $1,500
d. $1,000
Answer:
$1,500
Explanation:
A business buys $5000 worth of resources resources to produce a good
The business makes 100 unit of of the good and sell each for $65
Therefore the value added by the business to the product can be calculated as follows
= $65×100
= $6500
$6,500-$5,000
= $1,500
Hence the value added by the business to the product is $1,500
our firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $615,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be
Answer:
Almost the entire question is missing, so I looked it up:
Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $615,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life. It will be worth $67,000 at the end of that time. You will save $245,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $82,000 (this is a one-time reduction). If the tax rate is 30 percent, what is the IRR for this project?
depreciation expense per year = $615,000 / 5 = $123,000
initial outlay = -$615,000 + $82,000 = -$533,000
NCF year 1 = [($245,000 - $123,000) x 70%] + $123,000 = $208,400
NCF year 2 = [($245,000 - $123,000) x 70%] + $123,000 = $208,400
NCF year 3 = [($245,000 - $123,000) x 70%] + $123,000 = $208,400
NCF year 4 = [($245,000 - $123,000) x 70%] + $123,000 = $208,400
NCF year 5 = [($245,000 - $123,000) x 70%] + $123,000 + ($67,000 x 70%) = $255,300
IRR = 28.77%
Assume that interest rate parity exists. The spot rate of the Argentine peso is $0.42. The one-year interest rate in the United States is 7 percent versus 12 percent in Argentina. Assume the futures price is equal to the forward rate. An investor purchased futures contracts on Argentine pesos, representing a total of 1,000,000 pesos. Determine the total dollar amount of profit or loss from this futures contract based on the expectation that the Argentine peso will be worth $0.46 in one year. Use a minus sign to enter a loss, if any. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
$58,750
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the total dollar amount of profit or loss from this futures contract
First step is to find the Forward premium
Forward premium = (1 + .07)/ (1 + .12) -1
Forward premium= -.04464
Second step is to find the Forward rate
Forward rate = $.42 x (1 - .044640)
Forward rate=$.42×0.95536
Forward rate= $.40125
Last step is to find the profit
Profit = ($.46 - $.40125) × 1,000,000
Profit=0.05875× 1,000,000
Profit = $58,750
Therefore the total dollar amount of profit from this futures contract will be $58,750
On May 1, 2018, Kelalani purchased land for $88,000 for use in her business. She sold it on May 1, 2019, for $82,000. If there are no other sales of business or trade property, how is this loss treated for tax purposes on Kelalani's return?
1. $6,000 Section 1231 loss.
2. $6,000 ordinary loss.
3. $6,000 short-term capital loss.
4. $6,000 long-term capital loss.
Answer: $6000 short term Capital loss
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that on May 1, 2018, Kelalani purchased land for $88,000 for use in her business and that she sold it on May 1, 2019, for $82,000.
We are further told that there are no other sales of business or trade property. Based on this scenario, the loss treated for tax purposes on Kelalani's return will be a short term capital loss of $6000($88,000 - $82,000). It is a short term capital loss because the loss is for a period of a year or less.
Acceptance. Altisource Portfolio Solutions, Inc., is a global corporation that provides real property owners with services, such as property preservation—repairs, debris removal, and so on. Lucas Contracting, Inc., is a small trade contractor in Carrollton, Ohio. On behalf of Altisource, Berghorst Enterprises, LLC, hired Lucas to perform preservation work on certain foreclosed properties in eastern Ohio. When Berghorst did not pay for the work, Lucas filed a suit in an Ohio state court against Altisource. Before the trial, Lucas e-mailed the terms of a settlement. The same day, Altisource e-mailed a response that did not challenge or contradict Lucas’s proposal and indicated agreement to it. Two days later, however, Altisource forwarded a settlement document that contained additional terms. Which proposal most likely satisfies the element of agreement to establish a contract? Explain.
Answer:
Throughout the clarification segment elsewhere here, the definition including its issue is mentioned.
Explanation:
The very first e-mailed submission from Altisource that doesn't even dispute Lucas' suggestion would have been the proposal which most definitely meets the part of the arrangement to create a contract. It is when Altisource's e-mail was approved that they committed to it. Today, if a new arrangement with added provisions is presented two days after ratification, it can not be accepted as an aspect of the binding agreement.If they could have some trouble with the arrangement, they could've just discussed the based distribution and therefore not approved the agreement. It would never be altered until they have approved it but the same could be known as either a contract arrangement.The following selected transactions were completed by Capers Company during October of the current year:

Tuition of $3400 is due when the spring term begins, in 4 months. What amount should a student deposit today, at 12%, to have enough to pay tuition
Answer: The student should deposit= $3,272.40
Explanation:
The formula we need to use is
FV = P ( 1 + rt )
where:
F V = the future value.
P = the principal amount.
r= the rate of interest. = `12%= 0.12
t= time in years. = 4/12= 1/3 =O.3333
FV = P ( 1 + rt )
$3,400 = P (1 + 0.12 X 0.3333)
$3,400 = P (1 + 0.039)
$3,400 = P (1.039)
P= 3400 /1.039= $3,272.40
The funded status of Hilton Paneling Inc.'s defined benefit pension plan and the balances in prior service cost and the net gain–pensions, are given below. ($ in 000s) 2021 2021 Beginning Balances Ending Balances Projected benefit obligation $ 2,300 $ 2,501 Plan assets 2,400 2,591 Funded status 100 90 Prior service cost–AOCI 325 300 Net gain–AOCI 330 300 Retirees were paid $270,000, and the employer contribution to the pension fund was $245,000 at the end of 2021. The expected rate of return on plan assets was 10%, and the actuary’s discount rate is 7%. There were no changes in actuarial estimates and assumptions regarding the PBO. Required: 1. Determine the actual return on plan assets of 2021. 2. Determine the loss or gain on plan assets of 2021. 3. Determine the service cost of 2021. 4. Determine the pension expense of 2021. 5. Average remaining service life of active employees (used to determine amortization of the net gain).
Answer:
1. Actual return on Plat assets
= Ending plan assets - beginning assets - employer contribution + retirees payment
= 2,591 - 2,400 - 245 + 270
= $216,000
2. Gain(loss) on plan assets
= Actual return - expected return
= 216,000 - (10% * 2,400,000-beginning assets)
= ($24,000) loss
3. Service cost
= Ending Projected benefit obligation - Beginning Projected benefit obligation - Interest cost + Retiree benefits
= 2,501 - 2,300 - (7% * 2,300) + 264
= $304,000
4. Pension expense
= Interest cost + expected return + Amortization of prior service cost + amortization of net gain + Service cost
= Interest cost + expected return + (beginning prior service cost - ending prior cost) + (Beginning net gain - ending net gain - loss on plan asset) + Service cost
= (7% * 2,300) + 240 + (325 - 300) + (330 - 300 - 24) + 304
= $736,000
5. Average remaining service life of active employees
= (Beginning Net gain - expected return) / Amortization of net gain
= (330 - 300) / (330 - 300 - 24)
= 5 years

A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 240 units on hand.
First, we need to calculate the number of units sold:
Units sold= total units - units in ending inventory
Units sold= 500 - 240= 260
To calculate the cost of goods sold under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory.
COGS= 100*3.6 + 150*3.9 + 10*4.067
COGS= $985.67
Discussion #6 - Inventory Methods (due Thurs/Sun) 1010 unread replies.1010 replies. The following is an excerpt from a conversation between Paula Marlo, the warehouse manager for Musick Foods Wholesale Co., and its accountant, Mike Hayes. Musick Foods operates a large regional warehouse that supplies produce and other grocery products to grocery stores in smaller communities. Paula: Mike, can you explain what's going on here with these monthly statements? Mike: Sure, Paula. How can I help you? Paula: I don't understand this last-in, first-out inventory procedure. It just doesn't make sense. Mike: Well, what it means is that we assume that the last goods we receive are the first ones sold. So the inventory consists of the items we purchased first. Paula: Yes, but that's my problem. It doesn't work that way! We always distribute the oldest produce first. Some of that produce is perishable! We can't keep any of it very long or it'll spoil. Mike: Paula, you don't understand. We only assume that the products we distribute are the last ones received. We don't actually have to distribute the goods in this way. Paula: I always thought that accounting was supposed to show what really happened. It all sounds like "make believe" to me! Why not report what really happens?
Answer:
Musick Foods Wholesale Co. is permitted by the US GAAP to use the LIFO (Last In, First Out) inventory valuation method. The use of LIFO offers Musick and other firms the opportunity to save on taxes as well as better match their revenue to their latest costs when prices are rising.
Explanation:
Using LIFO method of measuring the value of inventory, the costs of the most recent products purchased (or produced) by Musick Foods are the first to be expensed. It is not that in practice, those costs expensed refer to the units being sold first, it is merely an assumption permitted by the US FASB under her generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Ahmed owns a small motor repair shop that had a cash flow of $297,241 in the current period. If Ahmed expects his business to grow at a constant rate of 8%, what should his cash flow be next period?
Answer: $321,020
Explanation:
The cash flow is expected to grow at a rate of 8%.
This means that in the next year it will be 8% higher than the $297,241 it is in the current period.
= 297,241 * ( 1 + rate)
= 297,241 * ( 1 + 8%)
= $321,020

a. $4.20 per unit.b. $0.22 per unit.c. $2.20 per unit.d. $2.00 per unit.
Answer:
Unitary contribution margin= $2.2
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Tons of cement produced and sold 240,000
Sales revenue $1,008,000
Variable manufacturing expense $439,000
Variable selling and administrative expense $41,000
First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 1,008,000 - 439,000 - 41,000
Total contribution margin= $528,000
Now, the unitary contribution margin:
unitary contribution margin= 528,000/240,000
unitary contribution margin= $2.2

Problem 5-35 Comparing Cash Flow Streams [LO 1] You’ve just joined the investment banking firm of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe. They’ve offered you two different salary arrangements. You can have $8,200 per month for the next two years, or you can have $6,900 per month for the next two years, along with a $37,000 signing bonus today. Assume the interest rate is 6 percent compounded monthly. Requirement 1: If you take the first option, $8,200 per month for two years, what is the present value? (Enter rounded answer as directed, but do not use rounded numbers in intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) Present value $ 139912.93 Requirement 2: What is the present value of the second option?
Answer:
PV of 1st option = $185,015.50
PV of 2nd option = $192,683.78
Explanation:
Computing the present value of the monthly payments, we use the formula [tex]PV = \frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n}) }{r}[/tex]
Where PV = present value of the monthly payments
A = monthly salary
r = monthly interest rate = 6%/12 = 0.5% = 0.005
n = number of months = 24 months
PV of the 1st option, $8,200 monthly for the next 2 year
[tex]PV = \frac{8,200(1-(1.005)^{-24}) }{0.005}[/tex] = $185,015.50.
PV of the 2ns option, $6,900 monthly + $37,000 signing bonus
[tex]PV = \frac{6,900(1-(1.005)^{-24}) }{0.005}+37,000[/tex] = $155,683.78 + $37,000 = $192,683.78.

Joe Jones, Inc. has a beta of .85. The risk-free rate is 5% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10%. a. Compute the required return for Joe Jones using the security market line (SML) equation.
Answer: 9.25%
Explanation:
Risk free rate, Rf = 5% = 0.05
We then subtract the risk free rate of 5% from the expected date of return on market portfolio of 10%. This will be:
= 10% - 5% = 5%
Beta = 0.85
Required return will now be:
= Rf + (Rm-Rf) x Beta
= 5% + (5% × 0.85)
= 5% + 4.25%
= 9.25%

Each unit requires 4 hours of direct labor at a rate of $13 per hour. Variable factory overhead is budgeted to be 70% of direct labor cost, and fixed factory overhead is $179,000 per month. Prepare a factory overhead budget for August.
Answer:
Some numbers are missing, so I looked for similar questions and found the following:
Miami solar budgets production of 5,300 solar panels for August. Each unit requires 4 hours of direct labor at a rate of $13 per hour. Variable factory overhead is budgeted to be 70% of direct labor cost, and fixed factory overhead is $179,000 per month.
direct labor costs per unit = $13 x 4 = $52
variable overhead costs per unit = $52 x 70% = $36.40
