Bloom Company management predicts that it will incur fixed costs of $266,000 and earn pretax income of $360,400 in the next period. Its expected contribution margin ratio is 54%. Required: 1. Compute the amount of total dollar sales. 2. Compute the amount of total variable costs.
Answer:
1. $1,160,000
2. $534,600
Explanation:
1. Computation for the amount of total dollar sales
Using this formula
Total dollar sales=Fixed costs plus pretax income / Contribution margin ratio
Let plug in the formula
Total dollar sales=$626,400 / 54%
Total dollar sales =$1,160,000
($266,000+$360,400=$626,400)
Therefore the amount of total dollar sales is $1,160,000
2.Computation for the amount of total variable costs.
Sales $1,160,000
Less:
Fixed costs ($265,000)
Pretax income ($360,400)
Variable costs $534,600
Therefore the amount of total variable costs is $534,600
Suppose that Dmitri, an economist from a research institute in Texas, and Frances, an economist from a public television program, are arguing over saving incentives. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: Frances: I think it's safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today's economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain an improvement in living standards. Dmitri: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards. Frances: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference.Because I don't. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to _____. Depite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? A. Employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations. B. Central banks should focus more on maintaining low unemployment than on maintaining low inflation. C. Business managers can raise profit more easily by reducing costs than by raising revenue.
Answer:
Difference in scientific judgementsA. Employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations.Explanation:
The difference in opinion between these two is based on a difference between in scientific judgments because they believe that different things will happen in response to implementing a different form of taxes.
Regardless of what they think in the above regard, these economists are most likely to support the outsourcing of work if it is cheaper to do so because economists generally believe that the most efficient method of production should be undertaken.

Snack food vendors and beer distributors earn some monopoly profits in their local markets but see them slowly erode from various new substitutes. When California voted on legalizing marijuana, which side would you think that California beer distributors were on
Answer: Opposing side
Explanation:
Substitutes to the products offered by monopolies are frowned upon by monopolies because it means that they cannot raise prices whenever they want anymore because people could simply switch to the substitutes.
Substitutes therefore reduce the power of monopolies. Marijuana is a substitute to beer as a recreational product so beer companies would be opposed to it being legalized as it would pose a threat to whatever dominance they have in the recreational sector.

Answer:
The akatsuki
Explanation:
ABC and XYZ are all-equity firms. ABC has 1,750 shares outstanding at a market price of $20 a share while XYZ has 2,500 shares outstanding at a price of $28 a share. ABC is acquiring XYZ for $75,000 in cash. The incremental value of the acquisition is $8,000. What is the net present value of acquiring XYZ to ABC
Answer:
the net present value is -$32,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below;
= (Number of oustanding shares × market price per share) + incremental value of acquisition - acquiring value in cash
= (1,750 × $20) + $8,000 - $75,000
= $43,000 - $75,000
= -$32,000
Hence, the net present value is -$32,000

The most important function of the Fed is to A. buy and sell government securities. B. collect taxes. C. provide a system for collecting and clearing checks. D. regulate the money supply.
Answer:
D. regulate the money supply.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve System (popularly referred to as the 'Fed') was created by the Federal Reserve Act, passed by the U.S Congress on the 23rd of December, 1913. The Fed began operations in 1914 and just like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a United States government agency.
Generally, it comprises of twelve (12) Federal Reserve Bank regionally across the United States of America, which are commonly referred to as Federal Reserve District Bank.
Like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a government agency that is saddled with the following responsibilities;
I. The Fed controls the issuance of currency in United States of America: it promotes public goals such as economic growth, low inflation, and the smooth operation of financial markets.
II. It provides banking services to all the commercial banks in the country because the Federal Reserve is the "lender of last resort."
III. It regulates banking activities in the United States of America: it has the power to supervise and regulate banks.
Additionally, the Fed is saddled with the responsibility of selling government securities such as treasury bills to the public.
However, the most important function of the Fed is to regulate the money supply through the establishment of monetary policies.
Monetary policy can be defined as the actions (macroeconomic policies) adopted and undertaken by the central bank of a particular country to control the money supply and interest rates so as to boost or enhance economic growth. The central bank (Fed) uses monetary policies to manage inflation, economic growth through long-term interest rates and level of unemployment in a country.
Apply the Seasonal Forecast Using Simple Proportion method to calculate a forecast for product X for the first quarter of the next year. The expected total sales for product X is 14800 for the next year.
Quarter Average seasonal factor
1 0.70
2 0.46
3 1.73
4 1.11
a. More than 0 but less than or equal to 1500
b. More than 1500 but less than or equal to 2000
c. More than 2000 but less than or equal to 2500
d. More than 2500 but less than or equal to 3000
e. More than 3000
Answer:
d.
Explanation:
From the given information;
the quarter average sale = expected total sales ÷ number of quarter
= 14800 ÷ 4
= 3700
The forecast for the first quarter = average quarter sale × seasonal factor
= 3700 × 0.70
= 2590
Thus, the expected sales is more than 2500 but lesser than 3000

The data is D = 50,000/year, S= $500 per order, H = $0.25 per unit per year. Assume a lead time of 3 days.
Fill in the following table. Write out the formulas you are using.
Annual demand
Holding cost (units per year)
Ordering cost
Ordering quantity (EOQ)
Number of orders per year
Average inventory
Maximum inventory
Reorder level
Length of order cycle
Annual holding cost
Annual ordering cost
Annual Affected Inventory Cost
b. Suppose a mistake was made in the data and the correct data is D = 60,000 per year, S = $400 per order, H = $0.20 per unit per year. Calculate the correct EOQ and affected inventory cost.
c. Now suppose we used the incorrect EOQ (based on the first set of data) instead of the correct EOQ. Calculate the affected inventory cost.
d. Compute the percentage error in the EOQ and in the inventory cost.
e. Moral of the story is that incorrect estimation of costs or demand (does or does not) result in substantial deviation from the optimal cost (circle the right answer).
Answer:
Annual demand 50,000 units
Holding cost $0.25 per year
Ordering Cost $500 per order
EOQ : 14,142
Number of orders per year 4
Average inventory 14,142 units
Maximum inventory 14,500 units
Reorder level 410 units
Length of order cycle 3 days
Annual Holding cost $12,500
Annual ordering cost $2000
Annual affected inventory cost $14,500
Explanation:
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 * D * S}{H} }[/tex]
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 * 50000 * 500}{0.25} }[/tex]
EOQ = 14,142 units
Number of Order : Annual demand / EOQ
Number of order : 50,000 / 14,142 = 3.53 or approximately 4
Annual Ordering cost : No. of order * cost per order
Annual ordering cost : 4 * $500 = $2,000
Annual Holding Cost : Demand * Holding cost per unit
Annual holding cost = 50,000 * $0.25 per unit = $12,500
Reorder level : Daily demand * lead time
Reorder level : [ 50000 / 365 ] * 3 = 410 units
An investment that costs $28,000 will produce annual cash flows of $5,600 for a period of 6 years. Further, the investment has an expected salvage value of $3,300. Given a desired rate of return of 10%, what will the investment generate?
Answer:
-1764
Explanation:
Given the cost of investment = $28000
Annual cash flow = $5600
Time period = 6 years
Salvage value = $3300
Interest rate = 10%
Net gain from the investment and its present value = Annuity (P/A, r, n) + Salvage value (P/F, r, n) - investment
= 5600 (P/A, 10%, 6) + 3300 (P/F, 10%, 6) - 28000
= 5600 x 4.355 + 3300 x 0.56 - 28000
= -1764
Given the accelerated pace of technological change, in combination with deregulation, globalization, and demographic shifts, a firm will only be successful today if its:
a. resource advantage is maintained for a short period of time.
b. internal strengths change with its external environment in a dynamic fashion.
c. resource advantage is not causally ambiguous or socially complex.
d. competitive advantage is derived from static resource or market advantages.
Answer:
Option b. Internal strengths change with its external environment in a dynamic fashion.
Explanation:
The main forces driving industry evolution all over the world are Technology and demand.
Technological change is a form of social and institutional compiled or embedded process. It is limited by their social and economic views. The choices and technologies used are affected by the drive for profit, capital accumulates and investment etc. has compressed greatly as the pace of technological change has also increased or accelerated.

Types of technological change
1. Incremental innovations:
2. Radical innovations
3. Changes of technology system
4. Changes in the techno-economic paradigm
Pet Supply purchased some fixed assets two years ago at a cost of $43,800. It no longer needs these assets so it is going to sell them today for $32,500. The assets are classified as five-year property for MACRS. The MACRS rates are 20%, 32% 19.2%, 11.52%, 11.52%, 5.76%, for years 1 to 6, respectively. What is the net cash flow (A-T Salvage Value) from this sale if the firm's tax rate is 35 percent
Answer:
$28,483.4
Explanation:
The computation of the net cash flow is shown below;
Asset cost $43,800
MACRS Rate 0.2 0.32
8760 14016
So total depreciation is
= $8,760 + $14,016
= $22,776
Now
Book Value of the company is
= oriignal value - depreication
= $43,800 - $22,776
= $21,024
And,
Sale price = 32500
So,
Gain is
= $32,500 - $21,024
= $11,476
So,
Tax = 0.35% of 11476
= $4,016
And, finally
Net cashflows is
= Sale price - tax
= $28,483.4
Answer:
The correct solution is "28483".
Explanation:
According to the question,
Given:
Sales price,
= 32500
MARCS rates,
= [tex]43800\times 0.2[/tex]
= [tex]8760[/tex]
Or,
= [tex]43800\times 0.32[/tex]
= [tex]14016[/tex]
Now,
The total depreciation will be:
= [tex]8760+14016[/tex]
= [tex]22776[/tex]
The company's book value will be:
= [tex]Original \ value-Depreciation[/tex]
= [tex]43800-22776[/tex]
= [tex]21024[/tex]
Gain will be:
= [tex]32500-21024[/tex]
= [tex]11476[/tex]
Tax,
= [tex]35\times 11476[/tex]
= [tex]4016[/tex]
hence,
The net cashflows will be:
= [tex]Sale \ price-Tax[/tex]
= [tex]32500-4016[/tex]
= [tex]28483[/tex]
Lease Plan Effectively Manages Diversity
The term, glass ceiling, was used to represent an absolute barrier or solid roadblock that prevented women from advancing to higher-level positions. The ceiling resulted in women finding themselves stuck in lower-level jobs, ones that did not have profit and loss responsibility, and jobs with less visibility, power, and influence. This scenario is changing. This case illustrates the impact motivated leadership and changing company policies can have on gender diversity in the workplace. Per the United States Department of Labor, compared to women comprising 21 percent of the workforce in 1920, women comprised nearly half of the workforce in the United States in 2013, making gender diversity issues more and more important. This activity asks you to identify and apply your knowledge of such aspects of diversity.
Read the case below and answer the three questions that follow.
In 2003, the representatives of Lease Plan USA's top customers were mostly women, as was most the company's employees. However, men represented a large majority of top managers at the company, reflecting the old-boys network type culture that dominated the fleet industry. New leadership decided to change this and provided career counseling to women, revised reward systems to focus on performance instead of seniority, and replaced some existing managers. Two years ago, only one of seven top executives were a woman. Now, three of the top eight executives are women.
The company's new chief executive claims that these changes are motivated by strategy rather than political correctness. He says, "Lease Plan doesn't build anything…Our sustainable competitive advantages are people." Lease Plan now also implements a development program catered specifically for female employees. The program includes skills assessments, career guidance, communications, brand building, and panel discussions with female executives from other companies.
Lease Plan’s efforts have yielded very positive results in a short period. For example, a 2006 survey showed that 35 percent of women agreed that "management supports my efforts to manage my career," which was improved the following year to 47 percent. A growing percentage of women also feel that their opportunities are growing—increased to 30 percent from 22 percent.
Gerri Patton, Director of Client Activation, says the program helped her become more confident and outspoken. The 23-year Lease Plan veteran encourages her female subordinates to apply. "I wish I would have done that program 10 or 15 years ago," she says. "There's no telling where I would be...The sky would've been the limit."
After reading the case please answer three multiple questions below:
1) According to Eagly and Carli, and also supported by subsequent data analysis by the textbook authors, women have broken through the glass ceiling. Based on what you have read in the case, which of the following trends in gender diversity appears to be most supported by the outcomes of Lease Plan’s program changes?
Educational attainment—women earned the majority of bachelor’s and master’s degrees from 2006 through 2012.
Increases in seats on boards of directors—in Fortune 550 firms up to 16.6 percent in 2013 from only 9.6 percent in 1995.
Leadership positions—in educational institutions in 2010, women represented 18.7 percent of college presidents and 29.9 percent of board members.
Court Appointments—in federal court in 2013, women received 32 percent and 30 percent respectively of appointments to federal courts of appeals and US district court judge positions.
None of these
2) Which of Thomas’s generic action options for managing diversity is most illustrated in the case?
suppress
isolate
deny
include/exclude
tolerate
3) Based on the information in the case, which of the following barriers and challenges to managing diversity that were identified in the text appear to have been present at Lease Plan?
an unsupportive or hostile work environment
poor career planning
lack diversity in senior management
inaccurate stereotypes
difficulty in balancing career and family issues
Answer:
Lease Plan
1) The trend in gender diversity that appears to be most supported by the outcomes of Lease Plan's program changes is:
Increases in seats on boards of directors—in Fortune 550 firms up to 16.6 percent in 2013 from only 9.6 percent in 1995.
2. Thomas's generic action options for managing diversity that is most illustrated in the case is:
include/exclude
3. Based on the information in the case, the barriers and challenges to managing diversity that were identified in the text that appear to have been present at Lease Plan were:
a. an unsupportive or hostile work environment
b. inaccurate stereotypes
Explanation:
Thomas's include and exclude generic action option emphasizes that more diverse employees should be employed in addition to minority-owned companies being used as vendors. This option makes it possible for embracing and practicing workplace diversity.

US Corp. is charged with determining which small projects should be funded. Along with this assignment, she has been granted the use of $15,000 for a maximum of two years. She is considering three projects. Project A costs $7,500 and has cash flows of $4,000 a year for Years 1 to 3. Project B costs $8,000 and has cash flows of $3,000, $4,000, and $3,000 for Years 1 to 3, respectively. Project C costs $2,000 and has a cash inflow of $2,500 in Year 2. What decisions should she make regarding these projects if she assigns them a mandatory discount rate of 8.5 percent
Answer:
Project A and C given a budgetary constraint of $15,000.Pick all projects if there was not constraint as they all have positive NPVs.Explanation:
Find the NPVs of the various projects.
Project A:
= Present value of inflows - Cost
= 4,000 / 1.085 + 4,000 / 1.085² + 4,000 / 1.085³ - 7,500
= $2,716.09
Project B:
= 3,000 / 1.085 + 4,000 / 1.085² + 3,000 / 1.085³ - 8,000
= $511.52
Project C:
= 2,500 / 1.085² - 2,000
= $123.64
Seeing as she has only $15,000 to embark on projects, she should pick projects A and C.
Project A should be picked because it has the highest NPV and Project C should be picked because it can still be invested in after Project A given budgetary constraints.

Culler Construction Company agreed with the City of Orange Key to build a road. The project was to begin on December 1. One week after the work began, a hurricane struck the site, washing away so much land that the construction would be twice as expensive. As a result, Culler refused to continue the job, unless Orange Key paid a large sum in addition to the initial contract price. A promise by Orange Key to pay more than the original price is:_______
Answer: D. Enforceable because Culler encountered unforeseen difficulties.
Explanation:
Contractual obligations can be changed if one or both parties encounter unforeseen circumstances that would significantly alter their ability to fulfil their part of the contract.
In this scenario, Culler Construction would incur a significantly higher cost to carry out their side of the contract than what was agreed. The contract can therefore be changed and this change would be enforceable by law. The higher offer by Orange Key is therefore legal and enforceable.
g Determine the amount to be added to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in each of the following cases and indicate the ending balance in each case. a. Credit balance of $370 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts just prior to adjustment. Using the aging method, the balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated as
Answer:
Missing word "is estimated as $8,820. Amount added Ending balance b. Credit balance of $450 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts just prior to adjustment. Bad debt expense is estimated at 2% of credit sales, which totaled $1,111,000 for the year. Amount added Ending balance"
a. Amount added = Balance as per aging method - Credit balance
Amount added = $8,820 - $370
Amount added = $8,450
So, Amount added = $8,450, Ending balance = $8,820
b. Amount added = 2% * Credit sale
Amount added = 2% * $1,111,000
Amount added = $22,220
Ending balance = $22,220 + $370
Ending balance = $21,850
