Answer:
Performance appraisal in a company with diverse workforce becomes difficult because of some cultural biases that may exist between the manager, who is doing the appraisal, and the diverse workforce. This problem becomes more acute if the manager is culturally biased and discriminatory by practise.
Explanation:
Company A can have a diverse workforce if it is made up of employees from culturally different places working together in the same workplace. Bias often arises due to human cultural nuisances. This becomes more obvious where managers are from some particular cultures while the employees are from mixed cultures. In such situations, the managers need to be retrained to enable them embrace cultural diversity in the workplace and in performance evaluation.
The key cause due to which the performance appraisal becomes problematic due to diversity in the workforce would be:
- Cultural bias
What is performance appraisal?
Performance appraisal is described as the process of reviewing the performances done by the employees in a particular organization to attain its goals and reward them accordingly.
When the workforce of a particular company or organization becomes exceedingly diverse, it becomes problematic to do performance appraisals.
The reason behind this is that this diversity gives rise to cultural biases and may result in discrimination.

7 pounds of raw material are required to make 1 finished unit. The company desires an ending raw materials inventory for each month equal to 29% of the following months production (in units of raw material) . How many pounds of raw material should be purchased in May?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
We weren't provided with enough information to answer the request. But, I will give an example and formulas to guide an answer.
For example:
Production in units:
May=20,000
June= 22,000
Beginning inventory of direct materials= 8,000
To calculate the purchase for May, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 20,000*7 + (22,000*7)*0.29 - 8,000
Purchases= 176,660 pounds

Pisa, Inc. leased equipment from Williamsburg Company under a four-year lease requiring equal annual payments of $68,830, with the first payment due at lease inception. The lease does not transfer ownership, nor is there a bargain purchase option. The equipment has a 4-year useful life and no salvage value. Pisa, Inc.'s incremental borrowing rate is 10% and the rate implicit in the lease (which is known by Pisa, Inc.) is 8%. Assuming that this lease is properly classified as a capital lease, what is the approximate amount of principal reduction recorded when the second lease payment is made in Year 2?
Answer:
$54,639
Explanation:
the approximate amount of principal reduction when the second lease payment is made in Year 2 can be calculated by making the Lease amortization table as follows
DATA
Annual payments = 68,830
Implicit rate = 8%
Annuty factor for 4 years at 8% = 3.55710
Present value of lease payment =$246,212 (68830*3.57710 )
Year 1 Year 2
Opening balance - $177,382(w)
interest - $14,191(w)
payments $68,830 $68,830
principal payments $68,830 $54,639
closing balance $177,382(w) $122,743
Working
Closing balance = Present value of lease payment - Annual payment
Closing balance = $256,212 - $68,830
Closing balance = $177,382
Interest = closing balance x implicit rate
Interest = $177,382 x 8%
Interest = $14,190.56

You own 10,000 shares of Microsoft stock. A good way to hedge the risk involved in owning this stock would be to buy some call options on Microsoft stock.
a. True
b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
If you want to hedge the risk of owning the stock then that would mean that you want to take measures to ensure that you don't lose out if prices fall.
A call option is not the way to do this because call options are bought with the expectations that prices will go up. If you buy call options then and the prices fall, you would make a loss on both the call options and the stock that you own.
A good way to hedge this would be to take Put options on the stock. Put options help you benefit if prices fall because you would be allowed to sell at a certain price unaffected by the fall in prices.
A $1,000 par value 10-year bond with a 10 percent coupon rate rec%ently sold for $900. The yield to maturity is:
Answer:
Yield to Maturity = 11.58 %
Explanation:
The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond
The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:
YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)
YTM-Yield to maturity-
C- annual coupon
F- Face Value
P- Current Price
n- years to maturity
YTM-?, C- 10%× 1000 =100, Face Value - 1000, P-900, n- 10
YTM = (100 + (1000-900)/10) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 900) )
YTM = 0.1158 × 100 = 11.58 %
Yield to Maturity = 11.58 %
Wertz Corporation issued ten-year, 8% bonds on January 1, 2017 at a discount. During 2017, the company's accountant failed to amortize any of the bond discount. The omission of the discount amortization will
Answer:
Wertz Corporation
Omission of the discount amortization will:
increase the net income by the amount of the discount that should have been amortized in the year ended December 31, 2017.
Explanation:
Wertz's bond discount represents a loss to the corporation that should be written off over the life of the bond. If the 2017 discount amortization is omitted, the net income is increased by the amount of the discount amortization expense. This means that the income is overstated by that amount. If this omission is discovered before the issuance of the financial reports, it should be reflected in the accounts. If not, depending on its materiality, this amount must be reflected by restating the 2017 financial statements.
ane is planning to offer a Groupon for inner tube rentals that she will distribute on hot, sunny, summer days by the river that runs through her town. Based on her past experience with Groupon, she has assigned the following probability distribution to the number of tubes she will rent on a randomly selected day. If Jane would like her expected revenue to be at least $300 per day, what should the Groupon price be? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Probability assigned:|
x 30 60 120 180
P(x) .10 .40 .40 .10
Answer:
Jane
Price of Groupon for a revenue of $300 is:
$3
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected Sales volume:
Number of Tubes x 30 60 120 180
Probability P(x) .10 .40 .40 .10
Expected values 3 24 48 18
Total = 93 tubes
Groupon price = $300/93 = $3.23
b) Jane's price for each Groupon will be the rent revenue per day divided by the expected number of tubes to rent daily. The expected number of tubes is derived by multiplying each expected number of tubes by its probability and then summing up the results.

Computing absorption costing gross profit
Refer to your answers to Short Exercise S21-6. Product X sells for $175 per unit. Assume no beginning inventories. Calculate the gross profit using absorption costing when Adamson:
a. Produces and sells 2,000 units.
b. Produces 2,500 units and sells 2,000 units
c. Produces 5,000 units and sells 2,000 units.
Answer:
a lot of information is missing, so I looked for a similar question that can help you understand this one:
Variable costs (including direct labor, direct materials and variable overhead) = $80 per units
Fixed overhead = $150,000
a) If Adamson produces 2,000 units, the total cost per unit = $80 + ($150,000 / 2,000) = $80 + $75 = $155
gross profit = total sales revenue - total cogs = (2,000 x $175) - (2,000 x $155) = $350,000 - $310,000 = $40,000
b) If Adamson produces 2,500 units, the total cost per unit = $80 + ($150,000 / 2,500) = $80 + $60 = $140
gross profit = total sales revenue - total cogs = (2,000 x $175) - (2,000 x $140) = $350,000 - $280,000 = $70,000
c) If Adamson produces 5,000 units, the total cost per unit = $80 + ($150,000 / 5,000) = $80 + $30 = $110
gross profit = total sales revenue - total cogs = (2,000 x $175) - (2,000 x $110) = $350,000 - $220,000 = $130,000

"The internal rate of return method differs from the net present value method in that it results in finding the" ___________________ of the potential investment.
Answer: profitability
Explanation: The internal rate of return method differs from the net present value method in that it results in finding the profitability of the potential investment.
In capital budgeting which is the process by which companies determine whether a new investment or expansion opportunity is worthwhile and if undertaken, could either yield net profits or losses for the company, both the net present value (NPV) (present value of cash inflows minus the present value of cash outflows over a given period time) and the internal rate of return (IRR) methods are employed.
How does the IRR method determine profitability? - This it does by using a percentage value rather than a dollar amount and therefore is advantageous in representing the possible returns of investments by comparing it with other alternative investments.
Earnings per Share, Price-Earnings Ratio, Dividend Yield The following information was taken from the financial statements of Tolbert Inc. for December 31 of the current fiscal year:
Common stock, $25 par value (no change during the year) $5,500,000
Preferred $5 stock, $100 par (no change during the year) 3,000,000
The net income was $502,000 and the declared dividends on the common stock were $55,000 for the current year. The market price of the common stock is $13.60 per share. For the common stock
Determine:
a. the earnings per share
b. the price-earnings ratio
c. the dividends per share
d. the dividend yield.
Answer:
a. the earnings per share is $2.28
b. the price-earnings ratio is 5.96 times
c. the dividends per share is $0.25
d. the dividend yield is 1.84%
Explanation:
a. the earnings per share
Earning per share is the net earning of the company against each outstanding share.
Earning per share = Net Income / Numbers of Outstanding shares
Earning per share = $502,000 / ($5,500,000/$25)
Earning per share = $502,000 / 220,000 = $2.28
b. the price-earnings ratio
Price earning ratio determines the impact of net income on market value of the share.
Price earning Ratio = Market Pice of stock / Earning per share
Price earning Ratio = $13.60 / $2.28
Price earning Ratio = 5.96
c. the dividends per share
Dividend per share is the value of dividend paid to each outstanding common share.
Dividend per share = Dividend declared / Numbers of outstanding shares
Dividend per share = $55,000 / 220,000 shares
Dividend per share = $0.25 per share
d. the dividend yield.
Dividend yield is the ratio of dividend per share and Market price per share.
Dividend Yield = Dividend Per share / Market price per share
Dividend Yield = $0.25 / $13.60 = 0.0184 = 1.84%
You want a seat on the board of directors of Red Cow, Inc. The company has 295,000 shares of stock outstanding and the stock sells for $64 per share. There are currently 3 seats up for election. The company uses straight voting. How much will it cost you to guarantee that you will be elected to the board?
Answer: $147,501
Explanation:
Since the company uses straight voting whereby each share gets only one vote per seat, the cost to guarantee that one will be elected to the board is;
Cost = Share price*( (shares outstanding/2) +1 )
= 64 * (( 295,000/2) + 1)
= 64 * 147,501
= $147,501
This is the cost of owning more than 50% of the shares and it will guarantee that you can vote yourself in for a seat as you will have the majority to do so.

Sheridan Company issues 3600 shares of its $10 par value common stock having a fair value of $20 per share and 5600 shares of its $10 par value preferred stock having a fair value of $20 per share for a lump sum of $205400. What amount of the proceeds should be allocated to the preferred stock
Answer:
$125,026
Explanation:
Common Shares 3,600
Fair value $20
Total market value of common stock $72,000
Preferred shares 5,600
Fair value $20
Total market value of preferred stock $112,000
Lump Sum amount $205,400
Amount of proceeds should be allocated to the preferred stock = 205,400 * (112,000 / (72,000 + 112,000) ) = $125,026
Carter Company reported the following financial numbers for one of its divisions for the year; average total assets of $4,100,000; sales of $4,525,000; cost of goods sold of $2,550,000; and operating expenses of $1,372,000. Compute the division's return on investment:
Answer:
14.7%
Explanation:
The computation of return on investment is shown below:
Return on Investment = Net Income ÷ Average total assets × 100
where,
Net Income is
= Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expense
= $4,525,000 - $2,550,000 - $1,372,000
= $603,000
And,
Average total assets = $4,100,000
So,
Return on Investment is
= $603,000 ÷ $4,100,000 × 100
= 14.7%

Which of the following does not represent an outflow of cash and therefore would not be reported on the statement of cash flows as a use of cash?
a. purchase of noncurrent assets
b. purchase of treasury stock
c. discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated.
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated is the correct answer. No exchange of cash was involved in this unlike the purchase of non current asset(which is a cash outflow under investing activities) and the purchase of treasury stock (which is a cash outflow under financing activities).
Discarding a fully depreciated asset only is a non cash transaction.
The twentieth century saw an accelerating shift from traditional manufacturing activities to production procedures requiring large investments in raw materials and labor.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
true
Explanation:
Your textbook discussed a model of a simple economy with four markets: labor, capital, energy, and food. Which of the following statements is inconsistent with a general equilibrium for this simple economy?
A. The household demand for energy equals the industry supply of energy.
B. The household demand for food equals the industry supply of food.
C. The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor.
D. The household supply of capital equals the industry demand for capital.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor
Explanation:
To begin with, when it comes to the microeconomics theory the market of labor is considered to be as a factor of production market and from that point of view the labor is demanded by the companies to the households who are the ones who offered the labor due to the fact that the workers are the one who put their force to disposition of the companies. And that is why that it would be inconsistent to say that the household demand for labor will equals the industry supply of labor, because it is all the way around, the household supply of labor will equals the industry demand of it.

Per Twitter’s amended S-1 filing, what are the maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013? Please provide your answer in millions without comma separator or decimal.
Answer:
Twitter's amended S-1 filing
Maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013:
= $98 million
Explanation:
Twitter's capital expenditures in 2013 can be estimated by subtracting the long-term or non-current assets of 2012 from 2013.
The 2013 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth $284,024,000
The 2012 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth $185,574,000
The capital expenditure in 2013 = $98,450,000
The implication is that Twitter added to (or increased) its property and equipment by $98,450,000, which represent new capital expenditures in 2013.
Twitter filed SEC Form 1-A (S-1) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when it was seeking exemption for registration requirements for its public offerings as an "emerging growth company," as it is "allowed by the federal securities laws to elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings."

The marginal revenue of the last bowl of soup a restaurant (in a perfectly competitive market) produced was $11 and its marginal cost was $4. Each time the restaurant produces an additional bowl of soup the marginal cost increases by 20% relative to the previous bowl. The restaurant should:
Answer:
The restaurant should:
decrease its marginal cost in order to maintain the marginal profit and ensure that the marginal cost is not more than the average cost.
Explanation:
Company A's marginal cost represents the incremental costs incurred when the company produces an additional unit of its good or service. This company's marginal cost is calculated by dividing the total change in the cost of producing more goods by the change in the number of goods produced. For example, if the cost of production increases by $120 when additional 10 units of goods are produced, then the marginal cost = $12 ($120/10).

Answer: B. $1,050 more than expected.
Explanation:
The company originally planned to have revenue resulting from 30 customers and charging $30 for an estimated 33 hours.
Estimated revenue was;
= 30 * 30 * 3
= $2,700
However, in actuality, they sold to 20 more customers than estimated but only spent 2.5 hours each.
Number of customers = 30 + 20
= 50 customers
Actual revenue
= 50 * 30 * 2.5
= $3,750
Difference is;
= 3,750 - 2,700
= $1,050 more
