1.) Katy can educate her consumers about the differences between her store and her competitors.
2.) Katy can protect her consumer base.
Explanation:
Using advertisements, Katy can show her consumer the differences and advantages that her products have over those of her competitors thereby encouraging them to patronise her.
She can also use these adverts to protect her customer base from her competitors because when they see the adverts, they will be even more encouraged to keep buying from Katy and will thus be less likely to switch to her competitors.
The other two options are incorrect.

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.

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).
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
A firm has fixed operating costs of $10,000, the sale price per unit of its product is $25, and its variable cost per unit is $15. The firm's operating breakeven point in units is ________ and its breakeven point in dollars is ________.
A) 1,000; $6,250.
B) 400; $10,000.
C) 400; $25,000.
D) 1,000; $25,000.
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $10,000
Selling price= $25
Unitary variable cost= $15
To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 10,000 / (25 - 15)
Break-even point in units= 1,000
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 10,000 / (10/25)
Break-even point (dollars)= $25,000
Answer:
D) 1,000; $25,000.
Explanation:
Let us assume the company produces x units. The total cost is:
Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost × number of items = $10000 + 15 × x = 10000 + 15x
The revenue = number of unit × price per unit = x × $25 = 25x
At breakeven, the revenue and cost are equal, therefore:
25x = 10000 + 15x
25x - 15x = 10000
10x = 10000
x = 10000/10
x = 1000 units
The price at breakeven point = 25x = 25(1000) = $25000
HELP PLEASE.
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
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
Answer:
Using Solver, the optimal solution is to invest $50,000 in Los Angeles municipal bonds, $175,000 in Palmer Drugs and $25,000 in Happy days Nursing Homes. Maximum yearly profit = $20,300

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.
A company just starting business made the following four inventory purchases in June: Date Number of Units Purchased Total Cost June 1 100 units $ 360 June 10 150 units 585 June 15 150 units 610 June 28 100 units 520 $2075 A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 240 units on hand. Using the FIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for June is
Answer:
COGS= $985.67
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Date Number of Units Purchased
June 1 100 units $360 ($3.6)
June 10 150 units 585 ($3.9)
June 15 150 units 610 ($4.067)
June 28 100 units 520 ($5.2)
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
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

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%
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%.

3. Compute the Break even point in units sold assuming LLAP uses variable and absorption costing
a. Variable costing
BEP(units) = Fixed costs / Contribution per unit
= $319,000 + $150,000 / ($800 - $375 - $20)
= $469,000 / $405
= 1,159
b. Absorption costing(production = 1,200 boards)
BEP(units) = Fixed costs / Contribution per unit
= $319,000 + $150,000 / ($800 - $375 - $20)
= $469,000 / $385
= 1,159

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.

Suppose that real GDP grew more in Country A than in Country B last year.
a. Country A must have a higher standard of living than country B.
b. Country A's worker productivity must have grown faster than country B's.
c. Both of the above are correct.
d. None of the above are correct.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
The standard of living is calculated as real GDP / population. Even though the real GDP of country A grew faster than country B, country A's population might be higher than country B's making its standard of living lower.
To make a conclusion that the growth of country A's worker productivity grew faster, it must be assumed that population grew at the same rate in both countries
Marr Co. had the following sales and accounts receivable balances, prior to any adjustments at year end: Credit sales $10,000,000 Accounts receivable 3,000,000 Allowance for uncollectible accounts (debit balance) 50,000 Marr uses 3% of accounts receivable to determine its allowance for uncollectible accounts at year end. By what amount should Marr adjust its allowance for uncollectible accounts at year end
Answer:
$140,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Ending allowance for uncollectible accounts is
= Accounts receivable × Given percentage
= $3,000,000 × 3%
= $90,000
Now the
Adjusted balance is
= Ending allowance for uncollectible accounts + debit balance of Allowance for uncollectible accounts
= $90,000 + $50,000
= $140,000
The funded status of Hilton Paneling Inc.'s defined benefit pension plan and the balances in prior service cost and the net gain–pensions, are given below. ($ 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

What is the company's unit contribution margin?
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
