Harry was on the phone negotiating the terms of a contract for the purchase of ball caps containing his university's logo with All Logos, LLC. They had agreed on the quantity (1200) and price ($2/cap), but could not agree on the delivery date, so Harry hung up. A few days later, Harry received an invoice in the mail, billing him for the caps, and advising that they would be shipped in 30 days' time. Under the UCC, has a contract been formed?
Answer: d. No, a contract has not been formed, since Harry has not signed a contract for the goods.
Explanation:
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) utilizes the Statute of Frauds which states that contracts for goods worth over $500 in value are to be signed for them to be valid.
The goods here are worth:
= 1,200 * 2
= $2,400
This contract is well worth over the $500 required for the contract to be signed which means that as Harry did not sign the contract, there is no contract.

A physical inventory on December 31, 2017, reveals that 111 footballs were in stock. The bookkeeper informs you that all the discounts were taken. Assume that Pina Football Shop uses the invoice price less discount for recording purchases.
(a) Compute the December 31, 2017, inventory using the FIFO method.
B.) Compute the 2017 cost of goods sold using the LIFO method.
Answer:
A. FIFO $1,794
B. LIFO $6,326
Explanation:
(a) Computation for the December 31, 2017, inventory using the FIFO method
Value of closing Stock
93 Footballs purchased in November = 93 * $16 93 Footballs purchased in November= $1,488
18 Footballs purchased in September= (111-93)* $17
18 Footballs purchased in September= 18* $17
18 Footballs purchased in September= $306
Total Value as on 31 December, 2017 =$1,488+$396
Total Value as on 31 December, 2017=$1,794
Therefore the December 31, 2017, inventory using the FIFO method will be $1,794
B.) Computation for the 2017 cost of goods sold using the LIFO method.
First step is to calculate the Value of closing Stock
67 Footballs purchased in January= 67 * $28
67 Footballs purchased in January = $1,876
44 Footballs purchsed in March= (111-67)* $23
44 Footballs purchsed in March=44*$23
44 Footballs purchsed in March= $1,012
Total Value as on 31 December, 2017=$1,876+$1,012
Total Value as on 31 December, 2017 = $2,888
Now let calculate the Cost of goods sold using this formula
Cost of goods sold
= Gross Invoice amount - Value of closing stock
Let plug in the formula
Cost of goods sold= $9,214 - $2,888
Cost of goods sold= $6,326
Therefore the 2017 cost of goods sold using the LIFO method will be $6,326

A local Chevrolet dealership carries the following types of vehicles:
Inventory Items Quantity Cost per Unit Market (replacement cost) per Unit
Vans 3 $22,000 $20,000
Trucks 6 17,000 16,000
2-door sedans 2 12,000 14,000
4-door sedans 7 16,000 19,000
Sports cars 3 32,000 35,000
SUVs 5 28,000 23,000
Because of recent increases in gasoline prices, the car dealership has noticed a reduced demand for its SUVs, vans, and trucks.
Required:
a. Compute the total cost of the entire inventory.
b. Determine whether each inventory item would be reported at cost or market. Multiply the quantity of each inventory item by the appropriate cost or market amount and place the total in the "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" column. Then determine the total for that column.
c. Compare your answers in Requirement 1 and Requirement 2 and then record any necessary adjustment to write down inventory from cost to market value.
d. Discuss the financial statement effects of using lower-of-cost-or-market to report inventory.
Answer:
Explanation:
Since the table doesn't show up correctly, the first dollar value is the Cost per Unit of the vehicle, while the second dollar value is the Market Cost per Vehicle.
a. If we compute the cost using the Cost per Unit then they would be the following.
Vans: 3 * $22,000 = $66,000Trucks: 6 * $17,000 = $102,0002-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,0004-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000Sports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000SUV's: 5 * $28,000 = $140,000Total Inventory: $504,000b. The "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" basically states that whatever of the two prices is lower is ultimately the one that is recorded as the cost. Therefore, under this method the costs would be the following...(Purchase Cost or Market Cost)
Vans: 3 * $20,000 = $60,000 MarketTrucks: 6 * $16,000 = $96,000 Market2-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,000 Purchase Cost4-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000 Purchase CostSports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000 Purchase CostSUV's: 5 * $23,000 = $115,000 MarketTotal Inventory: $504,000 Purchase Costc. There were only 3 changes made from from requirement 1 and 2 these were the changes in total cost...
Vans: $60,000 - $66,000 = - $6000Trucks: $96,000 - $102,000 = - $6000SUV's: $115,000 - $140,000 = - $25,000d. This allows companies to report losses at a much more reasonable and consistent way. Thus allowing profits to be more predictable.
a. Total inventory cost: $504,000
b. Total inventory at lower-of-cost-or-market: $503,000
c. Adjustment to write down inventory: -$37,000
d. Using lower-of-cost-or-market to report inventory allows for more realistic and conservative reporting, reflecting the decrease in market value.
a. If we compute the cost using the Cost per Unit then they would be the following.
Vans: 3 * $22,000 = $66,000
Trucks: 6 * $17,000 = $102,000
2-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,000
4-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000
Sports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000
SUV's: 5 * $28,000 = $140,000
Total Inventory: $504,000
b. The "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" basically states that whatever of the two prices is lower is ultimately the one that is recorded as the cost. Therefore, under this method the costs would be the following...(Purchase Cost or Market Cost)
Vans: 3 * $20,000 = $60,000 (reported at market)
Trucks: 6 * $16,000 = $96,000 (reported at market)
2-Door Sedans: 2 * $12,000 = $24,000 (reported at cost)
4-Door Sedans: 7 * $16,000 = $112,000 (reported at cost)
Sports Cars: 3 * $32,000 = $96,000 (reported at cost)
SUVs: 5 * $23,000 = $115,000 (reported at market)
Total for "Lower-of-Cost-or-Market" column: $60,000 + $96,000 + $24,000 + $112,000 + $96,000 + $115,000 = $503,000
c. The necessary adjustment to write down inventory from cost to market value is as follows:
Vans: -$6,000
Trucks: -$6,000
SUVs: -$25,000
d. Using the lower-of-cost-or-market method to report inventory allows companies to recognize and account for potential declines in the market value of their inventory.
By valuing inventory at the lower cost or market value, it ensures a conservative approach and provides a more accurate representation of the company's financial position.
This approach helps in reflecting the true economic value of inventory and potential losses associated with declines in market value.

We are evaluating a project that costs $660,000, has a five-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 69,000 units per year. Price per unit is $58, variable cost per unit is $38, and fixed costs are $660,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a return of 12 percent on this project. a. Calculate the accounting break-even poin
Answer:
39600
Explanation:
Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit
Fixed cost = cost of machine + depreciation expense
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
$660,000 / 5 = $132,000
total fixed cost $660,000 + $132,000 = $792,000
$792,000 / ($58 - $38) = 39,600

The price index was 150 in the first year, 142.5 in the second year, and 138.2 in the third year. The economy experienced:________
a. 5.0 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 3.0 percent deflation between the second and third years.
b. 7.5 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 4.3 percent deflation between the second and third years.
c. 5.3 percent inflation between the first and second years, and 4.1 percent inflation between the second and third years.
d. 7.5 percent inflation between the first and second years, and 4.3 percent inflation between the second and third years.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
5.0 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 3.0 percent deflation between the second and third years. (a)
Explanation:
to calculate the percentage deflation, we will simply calculate the percentage change in price between the years stated. This is calculated as follows:
% change = [tex]\%\ change = \frac{P_2 - P_1}{P_1} \times 100\\where:\\P_1 = initial\ price\ index\\P_2 = New\ price\ index\\for\ first\ and\ second\ years\\\therefore \%\ change = \frac{142.5 - 150}{150} = \frac{-7.5}{150}= -0.05 \times 100 = -5\%\\[/tex]
Note that the negative sign shows a deflation.
if you use the same method for years two and three, you should get -3%, using P₁ as 142.5 and p₂ as 138.2. Hence option 'a' is correct.

In this simulation, theoretical utilization of the intensive care unit (ICU) is calculated as the flow rate of patients that arrive for service at the ICU in a given unit of time divided by the ICU’s capacity to serve customers in that same unit of time. You can think about this as demand/capacity. What is the theoretical utilization of the ICU if the mean inter-arrival time is 4 hour(s), the mean length of stay is 6 hour(s), and there are 4 beds in the ICU?
Answer:
The theoretical utilization of the ICU is:
= 0.25 or 25%
Explanation:
Inter-arrival time or flow rate of patients that arrive for service at the ICU = 4 hours
Mean length of stay = 6 hours
ICU's capacity to serve customers in 6 hours = 4*6 = 24 bed-hours
Total demand = 6 hours
Therefore, the theoretical utilization = flow rate of patients that arrive for service at the ICU in a given unit of time divided by ICU's capacity to serve customers in that same unit of time
= 6 hours/24 bed-hours
= 0.25

Assume the cholesterol levels in a certain population have mean µ= 200 and standard deviation σ = 24. The cholesterol levels for a random sample of n = 9 individuals are measured and the sample mean x is determined. What is the z-score for a sample mean x = 180?
a. –3.75
b. –2.50
c. −0.83
d. 2.50
The required z-score for the given sample mean would be -0.83. which is the correct answer would be an option (C).
What is Z -score?A Z-score is defined as the fractional representation of data point to the mean using standard deviations.
Given the mean µ= 200 and standard deviation σ = 24. The cholesterol levels for a random sample of n = 9 individuals are measured sample mean is 180.
To determine the Z-score for the given sample mean
⇒ z-score = (X-ц )/σ
Here,
ц = 200
σ = 24
X = 180
Substitute the values in the above formula,
⇒ z-score = (180 - 200)/24
⇒ z-score = -20 /24
⇒ z-score = -0.833
Therefore, the required z-score for the given sample mean would be -0.83.
Hence, the correct answer would be an option (C).

Haylock Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,500 direct labor-hours will be required in August. The variable overhead rate is $1.50 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,410 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,940. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The August cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
Overhead cash disbursement= $102,720
Explanation:
First, we need to allocate variable overhead using the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.5*7,500
Allocated MOH= $11,250
Now, we can calculate the cash disbursement for August. Depreciation is not a cash expense. We should deduct it from fixed costs.
Overhead cash disbursement= 11,250 + 100,410 - 8,940
Overhead cash disbursement= $102,720

a. the interest rate rises, which causes the opportunity cost of holding money to rise.
b. the interest rate falls, which causes the opportunity cost of holding money to rise.
c. the interest rate rises, which causes the opportunity cost of holding money to fall.

7. When the Fed sells government bonds, the reserves of the banking system:___.
a. increase, so the money supply increases.
b. increase, so the money supply decreases.
c. decrease, so the money supply increases.
d. decrease, so the money supply decreases.
Answer:
1. a. aggregate demand shifts right.
As people are more optimistic, they will consume more in the short term because they feel as though prosperity is coming in the long term.
2. a. both the price level and real GDP rise.
Both of these would rise as Aggregate demand refers to GDP and price level would rise due to the new intersection with the Aggregate supply curve when the AD shifted right.
3. B. The expected price level rises. Bargains are struck for higher wages.
Expected price level will rise because demand is still increasing. Workers will want to benefit from this as well and so will negotiate higher wages.
4. d. short-run aggregate supply left.
As a result of the rise in expected price level and the subsequent negotiation for higher salaries, producers will find the cost of labor to be hire and so will limit production so that they do not spend as much. This will reduce supply thereby shifting the supply curve left.
5. d. the price level is higher and real GDP is the same.
The shift to the left in supply will lead to a higher price but the Real GDP will remain the same because there will be less goods produced so once prices are inflation adjusted, real GDP will be the same.
6. a. the interest rate rises, which causes the opportunity cost of holding money to rise.
If interest rates rise, people will hold less money because they could make a higher return by investing that money.
7. d. decrease, so the money supply decreases.
The money supply decreases because the Fed is taking money out of the banking system by selling bonds as people will pay the Fed for the bonds and the Fed will keep the money.
US Apparel (USA) manufactures plain white and solid-colored T-shirts. Budgeted inputs include the following
Price Quantity Cost per unit of output
fabric $8 per yard 0.75 yards per unit $6 per unit
labor $16 per DMLH 0.25 DMLH per unit $4 per unit
dye $0.50 per ounce 4 ounces per unit $2 per unit
For colored T-shirts only
Budgeted sales and selling price per unit is as follow:s:
Budgeted Sales Selling Price per Unit
White T-shirts 10,000 units $12 per T-shirt
Colored T-shirts 50,000 units $15 per T-shirt
The USA has the opportunity to switch from using the dye it currently uses to using an environmentally friendly dye that costs $1.25 per ounce. The company would still need 4 ounces of dye per shirt. The USA is reluctant to change because of the increase in costs (and decrease in profit), but the Environmental Protection Agency has threatened to fine the company $130,000 if it continues to use the harmful but less expensive dye
a. Given the preceding information, would the USA be better off financially by switching to the environmentally friendly dye? (Assume all other costs would remain the same.)
b. Assume the USA chooses to be environmentally responsible regardless of cost, and it switches to the new dye. The production manager suggests trying Kaizen costing. If the USA can reduce fabric and labor costs each by 1% per month on all the shirts it manufactures, by how much will overall costs decrease at the end of 12 months? (Round to the nearest dollar for calculating cost reductions.)
c. Refer to requirement 2. How could the reduction in material and labor costs be accomplished? Are there any problems with this plan?.
Answer:
A) USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine
B) $118076
C) The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials
while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset
Explanation:
A) Determine If the USA be better off using the new dye
Units of clothes to be dyed = 50,000
Difference in cost = [ 4 ( 1.25 - 0.5 ) ] = 4 * 0.75 = $3
Total cost of using the new dye = 50000 * $3 = $150,000
Fine = $130,000
hence USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine
B) Determine by how much overall cost will be reduced at the end of 12 months using Kaizen costing
condition : reduce fabric and labor cost by 1%
Original Monthly Costs without the use of Kaizen Costing =( Total Units/Number of Months)*(Fabric Cost per Unit + Labor Cost per Unit)*Number of Months
= [( 10000 + 50000 )/12 ) * ( 6 + 4 ) ] *12
= [ 5000 * 10 ] *12 = $600,000
Applying kaizen costing
Given: Fabric cost per unit = $6 , Labor cost per unit = $4
Total units of production = 10000 + 50000 = 60,000
Kaizen costing formula per month = [ (cost per unit * total units / 12 ) - ( 1% of cost per unit * total units / 12) ]
Total annual cost using Kaizen costing = $56807.61
difference in cost = $600,000 - $568076 = $31924
with the new dye and Kaizen costing the overall cost will be change by $118076 i.e. ($150,000 - $31924) = $118076
C ) The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials
while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset

On December 30, 2017, the Board of Directors of Blue Manufacturing, Inc. committed to a plan to discontinue the operations of its Owl division. Blue estimated that Owl's 2018 operating loss would be $750,000 and that the fair value of Owl's facilities was $450,000 less than their carrying amounts. The estimate for the 2018 operating loss turned out to be correct. Owl's 2017 operating loss was $1,000,000, and the division was actually sold for $400,000 less than its carrying amount in 2018. Blue's effective tax rate is 35%. In its 2017 income statement, what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations
Answer:
$942,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations
Using this formula
Loss from discontinued operations=[(Operating loss+Fair value)*Tax rate]
Let plug in the formula
Loss from discontinued operations=[($1,000,000+ $450,000)* (100% - 35% tax rate)]
Loss from discontinued operations=$1,450,0000*65%
Loss from discontinued operations= $942,500
Therefore what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations is $942,500

However, over the years, tenants pay Betty directly who gives the rent to Bob. Bob never objects. What types of agency authority does Betty have
Answer: perceived relationship
Explanation:
An agent is referred to as someone who is given authority by the principal and acts in his or her behalf and the agent is also under the control of such person.
From the question, the principal is Bob while Betty is his agent. The relationship that exist in thus case is the perceived relationship which means that the third party that us, the tenants in thus case believe that an agent is authorised by the principal to do a particular work such as collection of rent in this case but in reality thus doesn't exist. They ate not meant to pay to the manager in this case but they acted based on their perception and since the principal didn't complain, they continued doing it.
Jack and Jill are the only two residents in a neighbourhood, and they would like to hire a security guard. The value of a security guard is $50 per month to Jack and $90 per month to Jill. Irrespective of who pays the guard, the guard will protect the entire neighbourhood and charge $120 per month for the service. Suppose Jack earns $4,000 per month and Jill earns $8,000 per month.
a. With a proportional tax of 1 percent on income, how much would Jack and Jill pay, and would it be enough to pay for the security guard?
Jack would pay $ _____.
Jill would pay $ _____.
This tax _____ be enough to pay for the security guard.
b. Suppose instead that Jack proposes a payment scheme under which Jack and Jill would each receive the same net benefit from hiring the guard. How much would Jack and Jill pay now?
Jack would pay $ _____.
Jill would pay $ _____.
Would both Jack and Jill vote for this scheme? _____
Answer:
Jack and Jill
a. With a proportional tax of 1 percent on income, it would be enough to pay for the security guard $120.
Jack would pay $ __40___.
Jill would pay $ __80___.
This tax _will____ be enough to pay for the security guard.
b. Based on net benefit from the guard:
Jack would pay $ __43___.
Jill would pay $ _ 77____.
Would both Jack and Jill vote for this scheme? __No___ Jack will feel cheated by Jill in the sum of $3. Jack will likely prefer the 1% based on income.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Value of a security guard for Jack = $50 per month
Value of a security guard for Jill = $90 per month
Total value of a security guard for both Jack and Jill = $140 ($50 + $90)
Cost of hiring a guard = $120 per month
Jack's monthly earnings = $4,000
Jill's monthly earnings = $8,000
Total monthly earnings for both Jack and Jill = $12,000
a. Proportional tax of 1 percent on income = $120 ($12,000 * 1%)
Jack will pay $4,000 * 1% = $40
Jill will pay $8,000 * 1% = $80
Total = $120
b. Net benefit scheme:
Jack will pay $50/$140 * $120 = $43
Jill will pay $90/$140 * $120 = $77
Total = $120
