Answer: D. Square feet of floor space
Explanation:
The building maintenance cost should be based on a measure that takes into account the size of the building so that the maintenance cost can be apportioned based on how much space needs to be maintained.
The best measure to do so would therefore be the square feet of floor space. If maintenance cost is assigned per square feet, it would take into account how much expenses are being incurred to maintain the entire size of the building.
You currently have $150,000 in an IRA designated for retirement. If you save an additional $100 at the end of every month and expect to earn an annual return of 12 percent, how much do you expect to have in the IRA in 10 years?
Answer:
$518,061.90
Explanation:
The value of the retirement savings at retirement date is the future value of both its current balance of $150,000 and future value of $100 per month for 10 years compounded at the monthly rate of return
FV=PV*(1+r)^n+ monthly savings*(1+r)^n-1/r
PV=$150,000
r=monthly rate of return=12%/12=1%=0.01
monthly savings=$100
n=number of monthly savings in 10 years=10*12=120
FV=$150000*(1+0.01)^120+$100*(1+0.01)^120-1/0.01
FV=$150000*(1.01)^120+$100*(1.01)^120-1/0.01
FV=$150000*3.30038689+$100*(3.30038689-1)/0.01
FV=$150000*3.30038689+$100*2.30038689/0.01
FV=$495,058.03+$ 23,003.87
FV=$518,061.90
Starfish Enterprises management has obtained data on the material costs for a selected job which used 300 feet of materials, while estimates for the job required only 260 feet of materials. The materials price per unit was the same. Which is not a reason for the difference in material usage? A new employee worked on the job. The material used was of poor quality. The cutting tools were in need of repair. The cost of materials increased from the time of the estimate.
Answer:
Starfish Enterprises
The reason that is not the cause of the difference in material usage is:
The cost of materials increased from the time of the estimate.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Units of materials used for the job = 300 feet
Standard units of materials for similar job = 260 feet
Unit variance = 40 Unfavorable (300 - 260)
b) Material usage variance does not concern with the cost of materials. Since it is stated that the materials price per unit remained the same in both instances, the cost of materials increasing is certainly not a factor for the material usage variance. The variance is caused by the other factors.
If 11 workers can produce a total of 54 units of a product and a 12th worker has a marginal product of 6 units, then the average product of 12 workers is:
Answer:
the average product of 12 workers is 5
Explanation:
The computation of the average product of 12 workers is shown below:
= (Number of units of a product in the case of 11th workers + marginal product of units in 12th worker) ÷ number of workers
= (54 + 6) ÷ 12
= 5
Hence, the average product of 12 workers is 5

Other things the same, the effects of an increase in transfer payments on the government's budget deficit will lead to
Question Completion with Options:
A. greater investment.
B. All of the above are correct.
C. higher public saving.
D. a higher interest rate.
Answer:
Other things the same, the effects of an increase in transfer payments on the government's budget deficit will lead to
D. a higher interest rate.
Explanation:
When the government is operating a budget deficit, it means that its spendings are more than its tax revenues. It then resorts to issuing treasury bills and bonds to finance the deficit. This naturally reduces the price of bonds and raises interest rates. With rising interest rates, firms and individuals reduce their spending. The cost of borrowing becomes more expensive than before.
NFL players and owners are trying to negotiate a new labor contract. The owners are getting ready to send the contract over to the players who can then choose to accept the terms or keep bargaining. The owners are deciding whether to stipulate 16 games or 18 games as part of the contract. They would prefer 18 games, but they are worried that the players will not accept the contract and will keep bargaining if they put 18 games in the contract. The situation is described by the sequential game tree below: In the Nash equilibrium, the owners will choose ____________ and the players will respond by choosing to _________________.
Answer:
The answer is "16 games; accept the terms".
Explanation:
In this case, the players will decide the strategy first, followed by the owners.
Participants will choose the Keep Bargaining strategy to maximize its reward in the subgame of Owners' 18 games. "As a consequence, and here is the outcome:"
Players will choose the Accept Terms strategy to maximize the reward in the subgame Players on Owners' 16 games. (350M) and (250M) are the results.
To get a larger payout of $350M, the Owner would have to select a strategy among 16 games. Nash equilibrium is ($350M, $250M) in this case. It implies that the Owner's strategy in Nash equilibrium is to play 16 games, while the Players' strategy is to accept Terms.
Krenshaw Company reported total sales revenue of $80,000, total expenses of $72,000, and net income of $8,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

On June 1, 20--, a depreciable asset was acquired for $5,460. The asset has an estimated useful life of five years (60 months) and no salvage value. Using the straight-line depreciation method, calculate the book value as of December 31, 20--. If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
$4823
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
5460 / 5 = 1092
7/12 X 1092 = 637
5460 - 637 = 4823
Maxim manufactures a hamster food product called Green Health. Maxim currently has 15,500 bags of Green Health on hand. The variable production costs per bag are $2.90 and total fixed costs are $21,000. The hamster food can be sold as it is for $10.00 per bag or be processed further into Premium Green and Green Deluxe at an additional cost. The additional processing will yield 15,500 bags of Premium Green and 4,100 bags of Green Deluxe, which can be sold for $9 and $7 per bag, respectively. The incremental revenue of processing Green Health further into Premium Green and Green Deluxe would be:_________.
a. $163,200.
b. $13,200.
c. $8,200.
d. $5,000.
e. $168,200.
Answer:
b. $13,200.
Explanation:
Revenue from the sale of Green Health bags = Number of bags * Selling price
Revenue from the sale of Green Health bags = 15,500 bags * $10
Revenue from the sale of Green Health bags = $155,000
Revenue from Premium Green = Number of bags * Selling price
Revenue from Premium Green = 15,500 bags * $9
Revenue from Premium Green = $139,500
Revenue from Green Deluxe = Number of bags * Selling price
Revenue from Green Deluxe = 4,100 bags * $7
Revenue from Green Deluxe = $28,700
Incremental revenue = Revenue from Premium Green + Revenue from Green Deluxe - Revenue from Green Health\
Incremental revenue = $139,500 + $28,700 - $155,000
Incremental revenue = $13,200
So, the incremental revenue of processing Green Health further into Premium Green and Green Deluxe would be $13,200.
Of the travelers arriving at a small airport, 60% fly on major airlines, 20% fly on privately owned planes, and the remainder fly on commercially owned planes not belonging to a major airline. Of those traveling on major airlines, 40% are traveling for business reasons, whereas 70% of those arriving on private planes and 80% of those arriving on other commercially owned planes are traveling for business reasons. Suppose that we randomly select one person arriving at this airport.
What is the probability that the person is traveling on business?
Answer: 54% or 0.54
Explanation:
The probability that the person is travelling on business is the expected value of the various probabilities that they are travelling on business.
= (Percentage using major airlines * percentage using major airlines to travel for business) + (Percentage using private * percentage using private airlines to travel for business) + (Percentage using commercial * percentage using commercial airlines to travel for business)
= (60% * 40%) + (20% * 70%) + ( (100% - 60% - 20%) * 80%)
= 24% + 14% + 16%
= 54%

What the difference between international accounting and domestic accounting
Explanation:
International accounting (IAS) includes accounting standards and concepts of various countries. MNC's which operates in various countries need to follow the local accounting procedure and then need to compile the data so the overall performance of the company, can be determined. This also involves different currencies making the work difficult.
Domestic accounting (DAS) - every country have their own accounting standards and methods which must be followed while preparing books of accounts and are called domestic accounting. It is followed by companies which deal in only domestic business. Domestic accounting is done in home currency and is easier than international accounting.

The following department data are available: Total materials costs $172000 Equivalent units of production - materials 50000 Total conversion costs $105000 Equivalent units of production - conversion costs 30000 What is the total manufacturing cost per unit
Answer:
6.94
Explanation:
The total cost of materials is $172,000
The equivalent unit of production materials is 50,000
The total conversion costs are $105,000
The equivalent unit of production is 30,000
Therefore the total manufacturingg costs per unit can be calculated as follows
172,000/50,000
= 3.44
105,000/30,000
= 3.5
3.44+3.5
= 6.94

Andrews Company currently has the following balances in their liability and equity accounts: Total Liabilities: $52,319,000 Common Stock: $8,808,000 Retained Earnings: $45,066,000 Next year the Andrews Company generates $11,500,000 in Net Profit, pays $5,000,000 in dividends, and total liabilities and common stock remain unchanged. What will their total assets be next year
Answer: $112,693,000
Explanation:
Total assets = Equity + Liabilities
Liabilities will not change in the new year.
Retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividends
= 45,066,000 + 11,500,000 - 5,000,000
= $51,566,000
Assets = (8,808,000 + 51,566,000) + 52,319,000
= $112,693,000
Note: Equity is the sum of common stock and retained earnings
West Street Automotive is considering adding state safety inspections to its service offerings. The equipment necessary to perform these inspections will cost $551,000 and will generate cash flows of $193,000 over each of the next five years. If the cost of capital is 17 percent, what is the MIRR on this project
Answer:
19.7%
Explanation:
The modified internal rate of return is a capital budgeting method used to determine the profitability of an investment. The MIRR assumes that cash inflows are reinvested at the firm's cost of capital and outflows are financed at the firm's financing cost.
MIRR = (Future value of a firm's cash inflow / present value of the firm's cash outflow)^ (1/n) - 1
Future value = payment x[ (1 + interest rate)^n - 1 ] / interest rate
$193,000 x (1.17^5) - 1 / 0.17 = 1353779.24
1353779.24 / $551,000) ^0.2 - 1 = 19.7%
MC Qu. 85 Gladstone Co. has expected sales of... Gladstone Co. has expected sales of $362,000 for the upcoming month and its monthly break even sales are $345,000. What is the margin of safety as a percent of sales, rounded to the nearest whole percent
Answer:
Margin of safety= $17,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Expected sales= $362,000
Monthly break-even sales= $345,000
To calculate the margin of safety in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= 362,000 - 345,000
Margin of safety= $17,000
For Crafton Company, indirect labor is budgeted for $57,000 and factory supervision is budgeted for $65,000 at normal capacity of 142,500 direct labor hours. If 145,000 direct labor hours are worked, how much is the flexible budget for these costs
Answer:
$124,700
Explanation:
Indirect labor budgeted is $57,000
Factory supervision is $65,000
The normal capacity is 142,500
Direct labor 145,000
Therefore the flexible budget can be calculated as follows
= 57,000+65,000/142,500
= 122,000/142,500
= 0.86
0.86×145,000
= 124,700
Hence the flexible budget is $124,700

When it comes to retaining employees, it is not enough to have a diverse organization, it must be inclusive too. A. True B. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Diversity involves having different demographical groups being represented in a company's labor force such as different races and genders. This gives the company an edge because they can draw upon the experiences of these workers to find out how best to appeal to a particular demographical group.
Diversity is not enough however because inclusion is important as well. Inclusion means that these various groups are able to contribute meaningfully to the company instead of just being hired for publicity purposes. They should have management positions and the like to show that they are indeed part of the company.
If the actual output of a piece of equipment during an hour is 500 units and its best operating level is at a rate of 400 units per hour, which of the following is the capacity utilization rate?
a. 1.33
b. 1.00
c. 0.75
d. 1.25
Answer:
d. 1.25
Explanation:
In a business context, the capacity utilization rate is a value that allows the company know how well they are performing compared to what the recorded optimal levels are. In order to calculate this value we simply divide the current operating level for a specific time-period by the optimal level of that same time period, which in this case would be 1 hour. Therefore, in this case we would divide 500 by 400 which would give us 1.25.
