Answer: A. $250 million
Explanation:
The firm is a Monopoly and is lobbying Congress to remain that way. As a monopoly it makes $10 million a year and wants to remain a monopoly for the next 25 years.
Assuming there is no discount rate which means that the value of money stays the same over the 25 years, if they succeed in Congress, they have a chance to make a total profit of,
= 10 million * 25 years
= $250 million
If the maximum amount the firm can make if the lobbying is successful is $250 million, this is the maximum they will pay to lobby for a deterrence to entry. If they pay any amount more than $250 million, they will be making a loss and therefore it would make no sense to spend that amount of the lobbying.
Most employees who use flextime prefer to work independently of others. In order to accommodate this preference, businesses permit them to clock in and out as they wish, as long as they put in the necessary 40-hour work week. On some days, they may arrive at 6:00 a.m., while on other days they may decide to come in at noon.
a. True
b. False

Suppose that the government wishes to decrease the market equilibrium monthly rent by increasing the supply of housing. Assuming that demand remains unchanged, by how many additional units of housing would the government need to supply to get the market equilibrium rental price to fall to $1,500 per month?
Answer: 2500 units
Explanation: Since government plans on reducing the market equilibrium rent to $1500 per month, it's required of the govt. to extend the provision of apartments by 2500 units.
The equilibrium rent is $2000 and also the equilibrium quantity is 12,500 units. If 2500 more units were added by the govt. this might cause a rise of 15,000 unit available for rent within the market.
The equilibrium price would now be $1500 (the rent the govt. is trying to achiev.) and also the equilibrium quantity 15,000 units

March $3,018 15,239
April 2,628 9,504
May 2,857 11,534
June 3,730 18,045
To calculate the unitary variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (3,730 - 2,628) / (18,045 - 9,504)
Variable cost per unit= $0.13 per hour

Marigold Corp. has outstanding 77000 shares of 5% preferred stock with a $10 par value and 145600 shares of $3 par value common stock. Dividends have been paid every year except last year and the current year. If the preferred stock is cumulative and nonparticipating and $252900 is distributed, the common stockholders will receive _________.
Answer:
$ 175,900.00
Explanation:
Yearly preferred stock dividends=number of preferred shares*dividend percentage*par value
yearly preferred stock dividends=77,000*5%*$10=$ 38,500.00
Since preferred stock is cumulative it implies that dividends in arrears for last year must be paid alongside this year dividends
dividends to preferred stock=$ 38,500*2=$77,000.00
common stockholders' dividends=total dividends-preferred stock dividends=$252,900-$77,000=$ 175,900.00
If inventory is being valued at cost and the price level is steadily rising, which of the three costing methods (FIFO, LIFO, weighted-average) will yield the lowest annual income tax expense?
Answer:
LIFO
Explanation:
It will be the one that give higher Cost of goods sold. We also know that:
Cost of goods sold = Opening Inventory + Inventory Purchases - Closing Inventory
So this means the lower the closing inventory the higher the cost of goods sold and in time of price increases it will be more appropriate to use LIFO method which will reduce the Closing Inventory and this will increase the cost of goods sold and thus decrease in profit. This reduced profit means that the tax expense will also be lower in value.
Similarly the second attractive option will be the Weighted Average and the least attractive option would be FIFO costing method.
The risk-free rate of interest is 4% and the market risk premium is 7%. Hughes Corporation has a beta of 1.3, and last year generated a return of 11% with a standard deviation of returns of 15%. The required return on Hughes Corporation stock is:
Answer:
13.10%
Explanation:
Required return = Risk-free rate + (Beta * Market risk premium) ...... (1)
Where;
Required return = ?
Risk-free rate = 4%, or 0.04
Beta = 1.3
Market risk premium = 7%, or 0.07
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
Required return = 0.04 + (1.3 * 0.07) = 0.1310, or 13.10%
Therefore, the required return on Hughes Corporation stock is 13.10%.
Some of E and S Electronics's merchandise is gathering dust. It is now December 31, 2018, and the current replacement cost of the ending merchandise inventory is $ 22,000 below the business's cost of the goods, which was $ 100,000. Before any adjustments at the end of the period, the company's Cost of Goods Sold account has a balance of $ 390,000.
Requirements:
1. Journalize any required entries.
2. At what amount should the company report merchandise inventory on the balance sheet?
3. At what amount should the company report cost of goods sold on the income statement?
4. Which accounting principle or concept is most relevant to this situation?
Answer:
Explanation:
1. The journal entry has been attached.
2. The company report merchandise inventory on the balance sheet as:
= $100,000 - $22,000
= $78,000
This is because, when using the market value method, it should be noted that the inventories will be written down to their market value when it is is lower than inventory cost and in situations whereby the market value is higher than inventory cost, there will be no effect given.
3. The company should report cost of goods sold on the income statement as:
= $390000+$22000
= $412,000
4. The accounting principle of conservatism is used here. Conservatism is a policy whereby companies predict possible future losses but they do not anticipate the future gains. It is used by companies on order to play safe. This can be seen here as we wrote down the inventory value when market value is lower than inventory cost.
4. The prices of discount bonds (all with maturity value of $1,000) maturing in years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are given below. Price Time to Maturity 920 1 860 2 790 3 700 4 600 5 What is the yield to maturity on a risk-free 5% bond due in 5 years (also with maturity value of $1,000)
Answer:
YTM = 10.5%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The cash flow related with the 5% bond are computed below:
t = 0 1 (50) 2 (50) 3(50) 4 (50) 5(1050)
Now,
We calculate the discount factors which is given below:
1 /1 + r₁ = 920/1000 = 0.92
1/(1 + r₂)² = 860/1000 = 0.86
1/(1 + r₃)³ = 790/1000 = 0.79
1/(1 + r₄)⁴ = 700/1000 = 0.7
1/(1 + r₅)⁵ = 600/1000 0.6
Thus,
P₅% bond = 50 (0.92) + 50 (0.86) + 50 (0.79) + 50 (0.7) +1050 (0.6)
=$793. 50
For the yield to maturity (YTM) is refereed to as the IRR of this bond.
Now to solve for the YTM we have teh following.
P₅% bond = 50/YTM ║ 1- 1/(1 +YTM)⁵║ + 1000/(1+ YTM)⁵
793.5 = 50/YTM ║ 1- 1/(1 +YTM)⁵║ + 1000/(1+ YTM)⁵
Therefore
YTM = 10.5%
Note: the present value of all coupons was computed by applying the annuity formula, also added the PV of the face value
Bob uses the cash method of accounting. During the tax year (calendar year), he had the following income and expenses: Interest on a savings account (credited to his account on January 2 of next year) $ 68 Dividend received from Virginia Credit Union $814 Interest received on a 5-year certificate of deposit (left in CD account to compound) $910 Penalty on the early withdrawal of the 5-year certificate of deposit $ 50 What is the amount of interest income Bob must report for the current tax year?
Answer:
$814
Explanation:
When individuals or small firms use cash accounting, they will record any expenses or revenue when they are actually paid for or collected respectively.
In this case, Bob must record:
Dividend received from Virginia Credit Union $814Interests received on January 2, of next year are not included (they are included in next year's tax return). Interest received on a 5-year certificate of deposit (left in CD account to compound) is not included because it was earned before this year and left in CD to compound. The penalty for early withdrawal is associated with the CD, so it is not included.
The risk-free rate is 7%. The expected market rate of return is 15%. If you expect a stock with a beta of 1.3 to offer a rate of return of 12%, you should Group of answer choices sell the stock short because it is underpriced. buy the stock because it is underpriced. sell short the stock because it is overpriced. None of the options, as the stock is fairly priced. buy the stock because it is overpriced.
Answer: Sell short the stock because it is overpriced.
Explanation:
To find out if the stock is overpriced or underpriced, you would need to check to see if the Expected return is indeed 12%.
With the given variables you can do this with the Capital Asset Pricing Model.
The formula is,
Er = Rf + b(Rm + Rf)
Where,
Er is the expected return
Rf is the Risk free rate
b is the Beta
Rm is the Market Rate
Inserting the figures,
= 7% + 1.3(15% - 7%)
= 17.4%
The stock should have an expected return of 17.4% but only has an expected return of 12%. It is underperforming and is therefore OVERPRICED. To benefit from this you should sell the stock short so that when the market prices adjust you can make a profit.

Positive Messages and the Writing Process
Organizations exchange information internally and externally. External messages go to customers, vendors, the government, and other business partners. Internal messages travel upward to supervisors, downward to employees, and horizontally among workers. Understanding the different types of business messages and following the 3-x-3 writing process will help you write more effective professional messages.
Match the message content area with the correct types of messages.
Sales pitches, requests for favors (persuasive positive negative)
Replies, goodwill messages, direct claims (persuasive positive negative)
Bad news, refusals (persuasive positive negative)
Consider the scenario about a positive message, and then answer the question.
Gilberto is composing an e-mail that explains the terms of a recent business transaction. He has determined the purpose of the message, analyzed his audience, and determined its reactions.
According to the 3-x-3 writing process, what actions make up his next steps?
a. Make a list of points to cover.
b. Plan for feedback.
c. Check for mechanical problems.
d. Collect information.
e. Compose the first draft.
While most business communication is now done electronically, there remain situations in which a business letter is most appropriate.
Messages delivered through business letters are less likely to reach (unintended recipients? or the media? or competitor?)
than messages delivered through (e-mail? or phone calls? face to face conversations?)
Thus, business letters are more (desired? exclusive? confidentia
Answer: Refer to Explanation
Explanation:
1. a. Sales pitches, requests for favors - Persuasive.
When writing a Sales Pitch or Request for Favors Message, one must try to convince the intended receiver to buy the good being sold or to be willing to grant the favor requested. For this reason, the tone has to be persuasive.
b. Replies, goodwill messages, direct claims - Positive
These types of messages have to have a positive tone because they should come across in a friendly way so that the receiver may accept it as such.
c. Bad news, refusals - Negative
These are negative messages and as such should have a negative and indirect tone so that the receiver may understand the gravity of the message.
2. a. Make a list of points to cover.
d. Collect information.
e. Compose the first draft
The 3-x-3 writing process is a method of writing used to encourage a good writing flow.
It is divided into 3 stages being, Prewriting, Writing and Revising.
During Prewriting, one must determine why the are writing as well as who the message is intended for. Gilberto has done this already so the next step is the Writing stage.
The Writing stage includes, Making a list of points to cover so that the writing may be orderly and have the relevant information. It also includes researching where you collect information for the message to be written. And then finally composing the first draft which can then be scrutinized in the next stage.
3. Messages delivered through business letters are less likely to reach unintended recipients than messages delivered through e-mail.
Thus, business letters are more confidential.
Messages through Business letters have the intended recipients stated and usually get to the intended recipient as a result. Emails can sometimes be mixed up.
That fact means that business letters can carry more sensitive information and as such are more confidential.
Sheffield Corp. began operations on April 1 by issuing 52,500 shares of $4 par value common stock for cash at $15 per share. In addition, Sheffield issued 2,600 shares of $1 par value preferred stock for $3 per share. Journalize the issuance of the common and preferred shares.
Answer:
1. For Common Stock issued:
Debit cash for $787,500
Credit Common Stock for $210,000
Credit Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par- Common Stock for $577,500
2. For Preferred Stock Issued:
Debit cash for $7,800
Credit Preferred Stock for $2,600
Credit Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par- Preffered Stock for $5,200
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for how the journal entries will look exactly in the book.
Before journalizing the issuance, the following calculations are done first:
Cash received form common stock issued = 52,500 * $15 = $787,500
Common stock issued par value = 52,500 * $4 = $210,000
Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par- Common Stock = $787,500 - $210,000 = $577,500
Cash received form preferred stock issued = 2,600 * $3 = $7,800
Preferred stock issued par value = 2,600 * $1 = $2,600
Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par- Preferred Stock = $7,800 - $2,600 = $5,200

Carey Company had sales in 2019 of $1,658,800 on 63,800 units. Variable costs totaled $1,148,400, and fixed costs totaled $467,000.A new raw material is available that will decrease the variable costs per unit by 20% (or $3.60). However, to process the new raw material, fixed operating costs will increase by $94,000. Management feels that one-half of the decline in the variable costs per unit should be passed on to customers in the form of a sales price reduction. The marketing department expects that this sales price reduction will result in a 5% increase in the number of units sold.
Requried:
a. Prepare a projected CVP income statement for 2020, assuming the changes have not been made.
b. Prepare a projected CVP income statement for 2017, assuming that changes are made as described.
Answer:
Carey Company
a) Projected CVP Income Statement for 2020 (without changes):
Sales $1,658,800
Variable costs 1,148,400
Contribution $510,400
Fixed Costs 467,000
Profit $43,400
b) Projected CVP Income Statement for 2020 (with changes)
Sales $1,621,158
Variable costs 964,656
Contribution $656,502
Fixed Costs 561,000
Profit $95,502
Explanation:
a) Sales units will increase from 63,800 to 66,990 (63,800 x 1.05)
b) Old selling price = $1,658,800/63,800 = $26 per unit
c) New selling price = $26.00 - $1.80 = $24.20 per unit
d) Old variable cost per unit = $1,148,400/63,800 = $18
e) New variable cost per unit = $18 - 3.60 = $14.40
f) Sales Value = $24.20 x 66,990 = $1,621,158
g) Variable costs = $14.40 x 66,990 = $964,656
h) New fixed cost = $467,000 + 94,000 = $561,000
i) A CVP Income Statement is a Cost Volume Profit income statement whereby the costs are identified according to their cost behaviors of whether they are fixed or variable or semi-fixed.
Samson Company is an engineering firm. Many of the employees are engineers who are working individually on different projects. Most of the design work takes place on computers. The computers are connected by a network and employees can also "surf" the internet through their desk top computers. The president is concerned about productivity among his engineers. He has acquired software that allows him to monitor each engineer's computer work. Anytime during the day, the president can observe on her screen exactly what the different engineers are working on. The engineers are quite unhappy with this monitoring process. They feel it is unethical for the president to be able to access what they are working on without their knowledge. Describe the pros and cons of monitoring through observing the computer work of the engineers.
Answer:
Both pros and cons are explanied below.
Explanation:
Pros: First of all, the president of the firm can know exactly what the employees are looking at. Secondly, due to that previous reason, the president can know and be aware of, if there is one or more than one person that may surf in the internet for thing that are not appropiate (illegal weapons,etc) and therefore to contact police about. Moreover, the president will also have information about what every employee look at and therefore to comprehend or at least try to understand the employee better, but in an unethical way.
Cons: Well, in this case, the president is doing a very harmful and unethical technique in order to obtain what only he cares about and therefore that he is thinking very individually and that can harm the organization in a huge way. Moreover, the president will broke the privacy of the employees by doing it and that action will impact negatively in the workers and that will influece as well in their work in the company and consequently in the productivity of the firm.

Lead time = 8 days
Standard deviation of lead time = 1 day
a) What ROP would provide a stock out risk of 10 percent during lead time.
To find this re-order point (ROP) quantity, take the formula:
[tex] ROP = d(LT) + z \sqrt{ LT \sigma_d ^2 + LT^2 \sigma_L_T ^2} [/tex]
Here, service level = 100%-10% = 90%,
Thus z at 90% = ±1.28
[tex] ROP = 80(8) + 1.28 \sqrt{8* 10^2 + (8)^2*(1)^2} [/tex]
[tex] ROP = 640 + 1.28\sqrt{800 + 64} [/tex]
= 640 + 1.28* 84.85
= 748.61
≈ 749 units
b) What is the expected number of units (pounds) short per cycle.
Find the number of units shorts per cycle. Take the formula:
[tex] E(n) = E(z) * \sigma d_L_T [/tex]
[
Where E(z) = standardized number of shorts = 0.048
[tex] \sigma d_L_T [/tex] = standard deviation of lead time demand = 84.85
Therefore,
E(n) = 0.048 * 84.85
= 4.073

Production: Beginning inventory 1,600 units that are 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion costs; units started during the period are 42,900; ending inventory of 5,000 units 10% complete as to conversion costs. Manufacturing costs: Beginning inventory costs, comprised of $20,000 of materials and $43,180 of conversion costs; materials costs added in Polishing during the month, $175,800; labor and overhead applied in Polishing during the month, $125,680 and $257,140, respectively. Instructions:a. compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs for the month of septemberb. compute the unit costs for materials and conversion costs for the month.c. determine the costs to be assigne to the units transfered out in the process.
Answer:
a. compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs
materials = 44,500
conversion costs = 40,000
b. compute the unit costs for materials and conversion costs for the month
materials = $4.40
conversion = $10.65
c. determine the costs to be assign to the units transferred out in the process
Cost of units transferred out in the process = $594,475
Explanation:
a. compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs
materials
Units Completed and Transferred to Finished Goods (100%×39,500) =39,500
Units in Closing Work In Process (100%×5,000) = 5,000
Total = 44,500
conversion costs
Units Completed and Transferred to Finished Goods (100%×39,500) =39,500
Units in Closing Work In Process (10%×5,000) =
500
Total = 40,000
Calculation of Units Completed and Transferred to Finished Goods
1,600+42,900-5,000 = 39,000
b. compute the unit costs for materials and conversion costs for the month
materials
Opening Work In Process Costs = $20,000
Add Costs Incurred during the Period = $175,800
Total = $195,800
Unit costs for materials = Total Costs / Equivalent units of production for materials
= $195,800 / 44,500
= $4.40
conversion
Opening Work In Process Costs = $43,180
Add Costs Incurred during the Period($125,680 + $257,140) = $382,820
Total = $426,000
Unit costs for conversion = Total Costs / Equivalent units of production for conversion
= $426,000 / 40,000
= $10.65
c. determine the costs to be assign to the units transferred out in the process
Total Unit Cost Calculation
Materials = $4.40
Conversion = $10.65
Total = $15.05
Cost of units transferred out in the process = 39,500 × $15.05
= $594,475

Borasco Corp. owns land with a fair market value of $200,000. Borasco purchased the land 10 years ago for $65,000 and owes a liability of $50,000 as of August 2 of the current year. Alvo Corp. owns 100% of Borasco. Borasco is completely liquidated on August 2 of the current year, according to a plan adopted on June 18 of the current year. As a result, the land is transferred to Alvo in complete cancellation of Borasco's stock. What basis does Alvo have in the land it receives?
Answer:
$65,000

Data concerning that product appear below:Per UnitPercent of Sales Selling price$240100% Variable expenses6025% Contribution margin$18075% Fixed expenses are $364,000 per month. The company is currently selling 5,900 units per month. Required: The marketing manager believes that a $21,000 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 130 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
Answer:
Effect on income= $2,400 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $240
Variable expenses= $60
Contribution margin= $180
Fixed expenses= $364,000 per month.
The company is currently selling 5,900 units per month.
The marketing manager believes that a $21,000 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 130 unit increase in monthly sales.
First, we need to calculate the actual income:
Actual income= 5,900*180 - 364,000= $698,000
Now, the income with changes:
Income= 6,030*180 - 385,000= $700,400

For the year ending December 31, 2020, Splish Brothers Inc. reports net income $133,000 and cash dividends $90,000. Determine the balance in retained earnings at December 31 assuming the balance in retained earnings on January 1, 2020, was $230,000. (List items that increase retained earnings first.) Splish Brothers Inc. Retained Earnings Statement December 31, 2020 Balance, January 1 $ Less : Net Income / (Loss) Less : Dividends Balance, December 31 $
Answer:
Therefore retained earnings at December 31 is $273,000
Explanation:
Items that increase retail earnings include:
Beginning balance
Net income
Cash dividends
Beginning balance as at January 1,2020 = $ 230,000
Net income = $ 133,000
Cash dividends = ($90,000)
Therefore, retained earnings = Beginning balance + Net income -Cash dividends
= $230,000 + $133,000 - $90,000
= $ 273,000
