Which of these is an acceptable less hazardous method of cleaning than solvents?
A. Using disposable wipes B. Using a dishwasher C. Using a water hose D. Mechanical cleaning
Answer:
D
Explanation:
An Acceptable and less hazardous method of cleaning than the use of chemical solvents is D. Mechanical cleaning.
Mechanical cleaning involves the use of sandpaper, abrasives, or other cleaning devices. This implies that large quantities of chemical solvents are not used.
Disposable wipes contain chemical solvents. Sometimes, the wipes are littered or improperly disposed of, thereby contaminating the environment.
Dishwashers use chemical solvents. Otherwise, they are just electro-mechanical devices for washing food dishes and other utensils.
A water hose used for cleaning must combine some chemical solvents to achieve cleaning effects.
Thus, the only solvent-free and less hazardous method of cleaning is Mechanical Cleaning.

Assume that a Parent owns 80 percent of a Subsidiary that has 6 percent preferred stock outstanding with a reported par value of $720,000. Aside from the preferred dividends, no other dividends are paid (i.e., no dividends are paid to the common shareholders). The Parent owns none of the preferred stock. Assume that the Subsidiary reports net income of $117,000. During the year, the Parent company reported $261,000 of (pre-consolidation) income from its own operations (i.e., prior to any equity method adjustments by the Parent company). Compute the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest and the amount of net income attributable to the controlling interest.
Answer:
Consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest $14,760
Consolidated net income attributable to the controlling interest $320,040
Explanation:
Computation of the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest and the amount of net income attributable to the controlling interest.
CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME attributable to the noncontrolling interest
First step is to find the Divide amount
Dividend =6% x $720,000
Dividend= $43,200
Second Step is to find the Net Income from Subsidiary
Net Income from Subsidiary= $117,000-$43,200
Net Income from Subsidiary=$73,800
Last step is to calculate consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest
Noncontrolling interest =$73,800 x 20%
Noncontrolling interest = $14,760
NET INCOME attributable to the controlling interest
First step is to find the controlling interest amount
Controlling interest=80% x $73,800
Controlling interest= $59,040
Last step is to find the Parent company income
Parent company income= $261,000 + $59,040
Parent company income= $320,040
Therefore Consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is $14,760 while the Consolidated net income attributable to the controlling interest is $320,040

Two methods can be used for producing solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000, an AOC of $160,000 per year, and $125,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. Method 2 will cost $830,000 with an AOC of $120,000, and a $240,000 salvage value after its 5-year life. Assume your boss asked you to determine which method is better, but she wants the analysis done over a 3-year planning period. You estimate the salvage value of method 2 will be 35% higher after 3 years than it is after 5 years. If the MARR is 10% per year, which method should the company select?
Answer:
method 1 should be selected.
Explanation:
for method 1:
p = 550000
a = 160000
s = 125000
I = 10%
n = 3 years
aw = -550000(a/p, 0.10,3)-160000+125000(a/f,0.10,3)
= -550000(0.4021)-160000+125000(0.3021)
= -221155-160000+37762.5
= -343.392.5 dollars
for method 2:
salvage value = 240000x1.35
= 324000
p= 830000
a = 120000
s = 324000
I = 0.10 or 10%
n = 3
aw = -830000(a/p,0.10,3)-120000+324000(a/f,10%,3)
= -830000(0.4021)-120000+324000(0.3021)
= -333743-120000+97880.4
= -355862.6 dollars
after comparing both values, method 1 is better

Mr. C made the following gifts: $12,000 to a university to pay tuition costs for his niece. An undeveloped tract of land to his sister that had an adjusted basis to Mr. C of $4,000 and a fair market value of $25,000. Various shares of stock to his wife that had an adjusted basis to Mr. C of $15,000 and a fair market value of $40,000. Mr. C did not consent to gift-splitting. What is the total amount of taxable gifts
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
Gifts are only taxed when their fair market value is higher than $15,000. Any gifts made to your spouse are not taxable. Gift taxes are calculated on a per person base, as long as they do not exceed the lifetime exemption (which is $11.58 million).
The tuition costs of her niece are not taxable since they are less than $12,000. The stocks given to his wife are not taxable either. The only taxable gift is the land given to his sister which had a FMV of $25,000. The taxable amount = $25,000 - $15,000 = $10,000

How much cash would Deere have to pay to repurchase the 6.55% debentures at the quoted market price of 108.104
Answer: $216.208 million
Explanation:
It should be noted that the bonds are being traded at a premium which ch is the quoted market price of 108.104.
Due to this, to retire the bonds, Deere would pay more than the carrying value. Therefore, the cash outflow would be calculated as:
= $200 million × 108.104%
= $200 million × 1.08104
= $216.208 million
This would lead to a loss of: ($216.208 million - $200 million = $16.208 million) in debentures repurchase.
The answer is $216.208 million

Business is booming for Cargill Company, so the firm has decided to expand its operations internationally. The company will sell new shares of common stock using a general cash offering in order to raise the $16.8 million it needs to fund its overseas expansion. Cargill's investment bankers agreed to a spread of 7.85 percent, the administrative costs will be $515,000, and the offer price will be $21 per share. How many shares of stock must be sold for Cargill to receive the expansion funds it needs
Answer:
894,763 stocks
Explanation:
total flotation costs = 7.85% of total stocks issued + $515,000
the corporation will receive $21 x (1 - 7.85%) = $19.3515 per stock issued
$16,800,000 = $19.3515X - $515,000
$17,315,000 = $19.3515X
X = $17,315,000 / $19.3515 = 894,762.68 ≈ 894,763 stocks

a. $24,477.81
b. $24,948.54
c. $23,536.36
d. $24,007.09
Answer:
1. a. 4.081%
2. c. $23,536.36
Explanation:
1. Periodic rate=(4.4%/4) = 1.1%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods
= (1+0.044/4)^4-1
= 1.011^4 - 1
= 1.04473133864 - 1
= 0.04473133864
= 4.47%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods
=(1+0.04/365)^365-1
= (1+0.00010958904)^365 - 1
= 1.00010958904^365 - 1
= 1.04080849272 - 1
= 0.04080849272
= 4.081%
2. A=P(1+r/365)^365*n
where A=future value, P=present value, r=rate of interest, n=time period.
= 22000*(1+9%/365)^(9/12*365)
= $23,536.36
How much must you deposit in a bank account today to have $1,000 at the end of 5 years if the bank quotes a rate of 5%, compounded daily? Assume a 365-day year and round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
PV= $774.54
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value= $1,000
Number of periods= 5*365= 1,825 days
Interest rate= 0.05/365= 0.00014
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV / (1+i)^n
PV= 1,000 / (1.00014^1,825)
PV= $774.54
The two-year interest rate is 13.8% and the expected annual inflation rate is 6.9%. a.What is the expected real interest rate
Answer:
Real interest rate= -0.0048= -0.48%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The two-year interest rate is 13.8% and the expected annual inflation rate is 6.9%
First, we need to calculate the biannual inflation rate:
Biannual inflation rate= (1+r)^2 - 1
Biannual inflation rate= (1.069^2) - 1
Biannual inflation rate= 0.1428
Now, to calculate the real interest rate, we need to deduct from the nominal interest rate the effect of inflation:
Real interest rate= 0.138 - 0.1428
Real interest rate= -0.0048
The real interest rate is negative. It means that the purchasing power of an investment decrease due to the negative effect of inflation.

The government sets a minimum wage above the current equilibrium wage. What effect does the minimum wage have on equilibrium in the labor market? What are its effects on consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus in the labor market? (Hint: in the labor market, workers are 'producers' and firms are 'consumers'.)
Question Completion:
A binding minimum wage
▼
does not change

the market wage and
▼
increases
decreases
does not change
the market employment level.
Answer:
A binding minimum wage
▼
raises
the market wage and
▼
decreases
the market employment level.
Explanation:
This action of the government of setting the minimum wage above the current equilibrium wage will disrupt the equilibrium of labor demand and supply. Certainly, more labor will be available (the supply side will increase) while the demand for labor by firms or labor consumers will decrease. This reflects the market dynamics caused by the increased price (in the form of increased minimum wage) and the quantities of labor supplied and demanded.
4. Sectoral shifts, frictional unemployment, and job searches Suppose the world price of steel falls substantially. The demand for labor among steel-producing firms in Pennsylvania will . The demand for labor among automobile-producing firms in Michigan, for which steel is an input, will . The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as unemployment. Suppose the government wants to reduce this type of unemployment. Which of the following policies would help achieve this goal? Check all that apply. Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies Increasing the benefits offered to unemployed workers through the government's unemployment insurance program
Answer:
decrease
increase
structural unemployment
Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively
Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies
Explanation:
If the world price of steel falls, the profits that can be earned from producing steel would fall. This would make steel-producing firms cutback on production. If they do this, they would lead less labour, so the demand for labour would fall.
The decrease in the price of steel would make purchasing steel by automobile companies cheaper. This would lead to a rise in production and as a result an increase in the demand for labour.
Structural unemployment occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills of labour and the jobs available. Measures taken to increase information on available jobs would reduce this type of unemployment
Gold Corp. sells office furniture. In 2020, it sold 200 desks for $500 each. For each desk sold, Gold Corp. distributed a 50% discount coupon for purchase of an office chair valid for two months. Based on historical experience, Gold Corp. expects that approximately 20% of the coupons will be utilized. The chairs purchased with the coupons are priced at $150 and normally discounted 10%. What would be the stand-alone sales price used by Gold Corp. for the coupon when allocating the $500 transaction price to the performance obligations
Answer:
Gold Corp.
The stand-alone sales price is $135
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price of desks = $500 per unit
Selling price of chairs = $150 per unit
Combined price of desks and chairs = $650
50% discount coupon on chairs = $75 (50% * $150)
Normal discount price of chairs = $135 ($150 * 90%)
Combined price of desks and discounted chair = $575 ($500 + $75)
Allocation of transaction price:
Desk = $575 * $500/$635 = $452.76
Chair = $575 * $135/$635 = $122.24
Total = $575

Debts - Write offs + Bad Debt Expense
Let plug in the formula
Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance= $5,000 - $18,000 + (2.5%*$800,000)
Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance= $5,000 - $18,000 + $20,000
Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance = $$7,000
Therefore the ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts would be $7,000

By how much does GDP rise in each of the fol- lowing scenarios? Explain. (a) A computer company buys parts from a local distributor for $1 million, assembles the parts, and sells the resulting computers for $2 million. (b) A real estate agent sells a house for $200,000 that the previous owners had bought 10 years earlier for $100,000. The agent earns a commission of $6,000. (c) During a recession, the government raises unemployment benefits by $100 million. (d) A new U.S. airline purchases and imports $50 million worth of airplanes from the European company Airbus.
Answer:
a. GDP increases by $2 million. Only final good and services are included in GDP. the parts used in making the computer represents intermediate goods. Intermediate goods are not included in the calculation of GDP.
b. GDP would increase by $6000. Only goods produced in the current year are included in GDP. The house wasn't built in the current year so it would not be included in GDP. So, only the agent's fees would be included
c. 0 Transfer payments are not included in GDP
d.0. Imports would increases and net export would decrease. Also, business spending would increase. Taking these two effects together, there would be no change in GDP
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
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
services not rendered to oneself
Activities not reported to the government
illegal activities
sale or purchase of used products
sale or purchase of intermediate products
