C. The hair salons will stay in business, and customers will adapt to their services and products.
D. The hair salons will be converted into a different type of business that can succeed in this area.
E. The hair salons will go out of business.
Answer:
Option B. The hair salons will be taken over by competitors in area.
Explanation:
The reason is that when the quality of the product that the seller promised is not delivered the customer satisfaction level drops significantly and thus moves towards the other seller which results in the loss of the customer. So this means if the business is not delivering the desired quality then it will keep loosing business customers because the competitor will take over the lost business.
A company estimates that the revenue (in dollars) from the sale of x doghouses is given by R(x)=14,000ln(0.01x+1). Use the differential to approximate the change in revenue fro the sale of one more doghouse if 110 doghouses have already been sold.
Answer: The change in revenue for the sale of 1 more doghouse $ 66.67 dollars
Explanation: Differential is a function that can be used to approximate function value with a great degree of accuracy. This is done by the following.
Mathematical definition of derivative: f'(x) = lim f(x+Δx) - f(x)/Δx.
If Δx is very small:
f'(x) . Δx ≅ f(x+Δx) - f(x)
Knowing that Δy ≅ f(x+Δx) - f(x) and the diferential of variable x can be written by dx as the variable y can be dy:
dy = f'(x) dx
which means that the differential dy is approximately equal to the change Δy, if Δx is very small.
For the question, R(x) = y(x) = 14,000ln(0.01x+1)
f'(x) = [tex]\frac{d[14,000.ln(0.01x+1)]}{dx}[/tex]
Using the chain rule, the derivative will be:
f'(x) = 14,000.[tex]\frac{0.01}{0.01x+1}[/tex]
dy = 14,000.[tex]\frac{0.01}{0.01x+1}[/tex].dx
dx is the change in x. For the question, the change is 1 (1 more doghouse) and x is 110:
dy = 14,000[tex]\frac{0.01}{0.01.110+1}.1[/tex]
dy = [tex]\frac{140}{2.1}[/tex]
dy = 66.67
The change in revenue is $66.67 dollars.
At December 31, the unadjusted trial balance of R&M Entertainment reports Unearned Revenue of $3,001 and Service Revenues of $33,944. 53% of the unearned revenue has been earned as of December 31. When R&M prepares the adjusting entry on December 31, what is the amount that will be reported as a liability on the balance sheet as of December 31?\
Answer:
$1410.47
Explanation:
Unearned revenue is the revenue upon which cash has been received by the entity prior to the entity discharging its responsibility of providing services in respect of the payment,hence it is a liability until it is finally earned and recorded as revenue.
The balance of the unearned revenue is the liability that R&M must report in its balance sheet as of December 31.
Balance of unearned revenue=$3,001-($3,001*53%)
balance of unearned revenue=$3,001-$1590.53 =$1410.47

Country A is a main producer of agricultural goods. In the past three years, farmers in country A have seen their sales drop because consumers have begun to buy cheaper imported produce from country B. Not wanting the income of its farmers to drop, the government of country A imposes a tax on all agricultural imports from country B so that those goods are more expensive, and therefore less attractive, to consumers. The farmers in country A see their incomes begin to rise. Two months later, country B retaliates by levying a tax on all imports from country A. Because the manufacturing firms in country A lose business from the country they export to the most, they are forced to close.
What impact did the tariff that country A imposed on country B have?
Answer:
It created a trade barrier
Explanation:
trade barrier are government policies that restrict internatinoal trade.
The policy of country A on goods imported from country B created a barrier that affected country A's industries.
Answer:
Country B imposed a tariff on country A’s goods to retaliate for country A’s tariffs. So, while incomes increased for farmers in country A, the country’s manufacturers lost a substantial amount of export business. The manufacturers closed, and their employees lost their jobs. Ultimately, country A’s regulations had an unfavorable effect on the country’s own economy. Additionally, the tariff may have harmed country A’s reputation as a trade partner and affected its future trade prospects.

Assume that all investors have the same information and care only about expected return and volatility. If new information arrives about one stock, can this information affect the price and return of other stocks? If so, explain why? If new information arrives about one stock, can this information affect the price and return of other stocks?
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Yes, because with the existence of the new information, there would be changes in attractiveness of the stock. If there are no changes in other stock prices, it, would change the expected return on this stock. If expected return was to go up, then investors would be interested in this stock, implying they would not be holding the market portfolio.
New information regarding stock attracts investors, leading to shift in portfolio of investor. With greater demand for the particular stock, revenues/prices of other stock declines. This is because, investor becomes more attracted to buying that particular stock and other stocks are sold off in the market.

Answer:
$56,984
Explanation:
We can find the Annuity value by using the annuity formula which is as under:
Future Value = Annuity Value * Annuity Factor
Here
Future Value given is $1,000,000
Annuity Factor at 12% for 10 year bond = [1 - (1 + 12%)^10] / 12% = 17.548735
By putting values in the formula given above, we have:
$1,000,000 / 17.548735 = Annuity Value
Annuity Value = $56,984

A stock’s price fluctuations are approximately normally distributed with a mean of $29.51 and a standard deviation of $3.87. You decide to sell whenever the price reaches its highest 10% of values. What is the highest value you would still hold the stock?
Answer:
$34.46
Explanation:
In this Question there is Highest value of 10% and the probability of 90%.
we will use following formula to calculate the highest value of the stock
z value = ( x - mean ) / Standard deviation
where
x = the highest value
z score value at 10% = 1.28
Placing value in the formula
1.28 = ( x - $29.51 ) / $3.87
1.28 x $3.87 = x - $29.51
$4.9536 = x - $29.51
x = $4.9536 + $29.51
x = 34.4636

Total expensesincluded: Hotel room en route ($150 times× 2 rooms times× 3 nights):$900 Mileage, 1,000 miles Doctors bills in San Francisco: 1,600 The total medical expenses deductible before the 10% limitation are...
Answer:
The total medical expenses deductible before the 10% limitation is 2090
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
The Total expenses included is stated as follows:
Th Hotel room is = $150 * two rooms * three nights
Mileage of = $900,
Miles = 1000
Doctor's bill ins an Francisco = 1,600
Now,
To next step is to find the total medical expenses deductible before the 10% limitation is given as follows:
Doctor's bill = 1,600
The total expenses i hotel room is calculated as :150 * 1 *3 = 450
So,
The total = 1600 + 450 = 2050
It is also important to know that only 10% of the expense stay for the accompanied person is permitted
Therefore,
450*10% =45
Total 2050+45 = 2090

Bobbi and Stuart are partners. The partnership capital of Bobbi is $41,400 and that of Stuart is $74,700. Bobbi sells his interest in the partnership to John for $63,900. The journal entry to record the admission of John as a new partner would include a credit to:_________.
a. Stuart's capital account for $58,050
b. John's capital account for $63,900
c. John's capital account for $41,400
d. John's capital account for $41,400 and a credit to Stuart's capital account for $74,700
Answer:
c. John's capital account for $41,400
Explanation:
Based on this information it can be said that in this scenario the journal entry to record the admission of John as a new partner would include a credit to John's capital account for $41,400. This is mainly because even though Bobbi sold his interest for $63,900 his actual interest capital in the partnership was that of $41,400 .... meaning that John now holds a partnership capital of $41,400 and the Bobbi profited $22,500
Isabel, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for her sole proprietorship. In late December she received a $20,000 bill from her accountant for consulting services related to her small business. Isabel can pay the $20,000 bill anytime before January 30 of next year without penalty. Assume her marginal tax rate is 37 percent this year and next year, and that she can earn an after-tax rate of return of 9 percent on her investments. When should she pay the $20,000 bill this year or next?
Answer: She should pay in December
Explanation:
Assuming she pays in December, she can claim a 37% tax saving as it is an Expense and she will therefore pay the following Net of Tax,
= $20,000 * ( 1 - tax rate)
= 20,000 * ( 1 - 0.37)
= 20,000 * 0.63
= $12,600
Her total bill in December would be $12,600.
If she pays in January however then she would have lost 9% on the tax saving. Accounting for this would be,
The tax saving is
= $20,000 * 0.37
= $7,400
Discounting it to present day will be,
= 7,400 / (1 + r)
= 7,400 / 1 .09
= $6,788.99
Meaning that the amount she will effectively pay in January is,
= $20,000 - 6,788.99
= $13,211.01
Paying in December therefore saves her more.

Suppose you were going to save $1,000 per year for three years at a 10% interest rate compounded annually, with the first investment occurring today. What would be the future value of this investment
Answer:
$13,310
Explanation:
The investment would be 100% = $1000 * 100% / 10% = $10,000
So this is the amount that would be deposited today to earn $1000 each year which is 10% of the amount deposited today.
The Future Value is given as under:
Future Value = Present Value * (1 + r)^n
Here,
Present value is $10,000
r is 10%
and n is 3 years
So, by putting values we have:
Future Value = $10,000 * (1 + 10%)^3 = $13,310

Thomas Company has decided to purchase a company vehicle. The accountant was given all of purchase details. Which should be used to record the vehicle in the accounting records? The price negotiated with the dealer. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP). The amount of the loan with the bank. The average selling price of similar vehicles in the area.
Answer:
The price negotiated with the dealer.
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that the Thomas company decided to purchase a company vehicle. And the accountant provided all the purchase details.
So for recording the vehicle in the accounting records the price negotiated with the dealer is used as in the accounting, only numbers are recorded which are based on the type of the transactions.
The purchase details includes color of a vehicle, price, mileage, capacity, etc
Therefore for accounting purpose, we only considered the price and the same is to be considered.
Your boss makes an intentional effort to understand the emotion or mood of the office at all times. Your boss uses that information when assigning team members to specific projects or when communicating with the team as a whole or as individuals. These behaviors are examples of ______.
Answer:

That is why, when your boss is making an intentional effort to understand the emotions of all the office and use that information to assign the teams, then he is using the emotional intelligence to work better.
A $38,000 coil winding and unwinding machine is estimated to provide additional value to production by $15 per unit. When the machine is operated at 58 units per hour, it needs to be cooled down after 4 hours of operation and receive minor maintenance for 15 minutes. When the machine is operated at 118 units per hour, it needs to be cooled down after 5 hours of operation and receive minor maintenance for 30 minutes. The production line runs 8 hours per day. If each maintenance check costs $625 and the machine has a useful life of 80,000 hours of operations, at what speed should the machine should be operated
Answer: 118 units per hour
Explanation:
At 58 units per hour:
The cycle time = 4 hours + 0.25 hours
= 4.25 hours
The cycle per day = 8/4.25 = 1.88 cycle
The value added per day will be:
= 1.88 × 4 × 58 × 15
= $6542.4
The cost of maintenance per day will be: = 1.88 × $625 = $1175
The cost of operating the machine per day will be:
= $38,000/80,000 × 4 × 1.88
= $3.57
The net increase in the value per day will be:
= $6542.4 - $1175 - $3.57
= $5363.83
At 118 units per hour:
The cycle time = 5 hours + 0.5 hours
= 5.5 hours
The cycle per day = 8/5.5 = 1.45 cycle
The value added per day will be:
= 1.45 × 5 × 118 × 15
= $12832.5
The cost of maintenance per day will be: = 1.45 × $625 = $906.25
The cost of operating the machine per day will be:
= $38,000/80,000 × 5 × 1.45
= $3.44
The net increase in the value per day will be:
= $128322.5 - $906.25 - $3.44
= $11922.81
The machine should be operated at 118 units per hour because it gives a higher value.

Cambridge Manufacturing Company applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine hours. At the beginning of the year, the company estimated its total overhead cost to be $325,000 and machine hours to be 25,000. Actual manufacturing overhead and machine hours were $372,000 and 26,000, respectively. Required: 1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. 2. Compute applied manufacturing overhead. 3. Compute over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The estimated total overhead= $325,000
Estimated machine hours= 25,000
Actual manufacturing overhead and machine hours were $372,000 and 26,000, respectively.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 325,000/25,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $13 per machine-hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 13*26,000= $338,000
Finally, we determine the under/over allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 372,000 - 338,000= $34,000 underallocated
On October 30, 2019, Sanchez Company acquired a piece of machinery and signed a 12-month note for $24,000. The face value of the note includes the price of the machinery and interest. The note is to be paid in four $6,000 quarterly installments. The value of the machinery is the present value of the four quarterly payments discounted at an annual interest rate of 16%. Required: 1. Prepare all the journal entries required to record the preceding information including the year-end adjusting entry and any payments. Present value techniques should be used. 2. Show how the preceding items would be reported on the December 31, 2019, balance sheet.
Answer:
the present value of the note payable:
PV = payment x {1 - [1 / (1 + r)ⁿ]} / r
payment = $6,000
r = 16% / 4 = 4%
n = 4
PV = $6,000 x {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.04)⁴]} / 0.04 = $21,779.37 ≈ $21,779

Stoneheart Group is expected to pay a dividend of $3.17 next year. The company's dividend growth rate is expected to be 3.9 percent indefinitely and investors require a return of 11.7 percent on the company's stock. What is the stock price?
Answer:
The price of the stock= 40.64
Explanation:
According to the dividend growth model, the price of a stock is the present value of expected dividend discounted at the required rate of return.
This is done as follows:
Price of a stock = D×(1+r)/(r-g)
D(1+g) - Dividend for next year = 3.17
g- growth rate - 3.9%
r- required rate of return - 11.7%
P = 3.17/(0.117- 0.039)=40.641
The price of the stock= 40.64
During 2017, Eaton Co. introduced a new product carrying a two-year warranty against defects. The estimated warranty costs related to dollar sales are 4% within 12 months following sale and 6% in the second 12 months following sale. Sales and actual warranty expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 are as follows:
Actual Warranty
Sales Expenditures
2017 $ 400,000 $8,000
2018 600,000 14,000
$1,000,000 $22,000
At December 31, 2018, (assuming the accrual method) what amount should be reported as an estimated warranty liability?
Why are warranties recorded as an expense in the year of the sale, i.e., what accounting principle applies?
Answer:
1. $82,000
2. Accrual / Matching Principle
Explanation:
The two year warranty against defects is known as an Assurance Type Warranty.
With Assurance Type Warranty, there is no option on the customer to take the warranty or not. Therefore this is not a separate performance obligation.
Assurance Type Warranty are accounted for in terms of IAS 37 Provisions.
At December 31, 2018, the Warranty Expense is calculated as follows :
Sales 2017 : $ 400,000 × 6% = $ 24,000
Sales 2018 : $ 600,000 × 12% = $ 72,000
Total = $ 96,000
Journal
Warranty Expense $ 96,000 (debit)
Warranty Provision $ 96,000 (credit)
When Warranty Claim is Subsequently received in 2018 the entries will be as follows :
Journal
Warranty Provision $14,000 (debit)
Cash $14,000 (credit)
Thus Warranty Liability will be : $ 96,000 - $14,000 = $82,000
