You wrote a piece of software that does a better job of allowing computers to network than any other program designed for this purpose. A large networking company wants to incorporate your software into its systems and is offering to pay you $458,000 today, plus $458,000 at the end of each of the following six years, for permission to do this. If the appropriate interest rate is 8 percent, what is the present value of the cash flow stream that the company is offering you?
Answer:
$2,575,278.87
Explanation:
Present Value = $458,000 + $458,000 /(1+.08)^1 + $458,000 /(1+.08)^2 + $458,000 /(1+.08)^3 + $458,000 /(1+.08)^4 + $458,000 /(1+.08)^5 + $458,000 /(1+.08)^6
Present Value = $458,000 + $424,074.07 + $392,661.18 + $363,575.16 + $336,643.67 + $311,707.10 + $288617.69
Present Value = $2,575,278.87
So, the present value of the cash flow stream that the company is offering to me is $2,575,278.87.

Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Probability distribution are statistical function that shows all the possible outcomes of a random variable within a given range of values.
a) The mean ([tex]\bar x[/tex]) of a probability distribution of a discrete random variable is:
[tex]\bar x=\Sigma\ [xP(x)][/tex] = (0 * 0.8) + (1 * 0.15) + (2 * 0.04) + (3 * 0.01) = 0.26
b) The standard deviation (σ) of a probability distribution of a discrete random variable is:
[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{ \Sigma\ [(x-\bar x)^2*P(x)]}\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{(0-0.26)^2*0.8+(1-0.26)^2*0.15+(2-0.26)^2*0.04+(3-0.26)^2*0.01} \\\\\sigma=0.577[/tex]
Chuck Wagon Grills, Inc., makes a single product—a handmade specialty barbecue grill that it sells for $300. Data for last year’s operations follow: Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 9,500 Units sold 8,400 Units in ending inventory 1,100 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 60 Direct labor 40 Variable manufacturing overhead 10 Variable selling and administrative 30 Total variable cost per unit $ 140 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 180,000 Fixed selling and administrative 780,000 Total fixed costs $ 960,000 Required: 1. Assume that the company uses variable costing. Compute the unit product cost for one barbecue grill. 2. Assume that the company uses variable costing. Prepare a contribution format income statement for last year. 3. What is the company’s break-even point in terms of the number of barbecue grills sold?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Unitary production variable cost= 60 + 40 + 10
Unitary production variable cost= $110
Now, the income statement:
Sales= 300*8,400= 2,520,000
Total variable cost= 8,400*(110 + 30)= (1,176,000)
Total contribution margin= 1,344,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead= (180,000)
Fixed selling and administrative= (780,000)
Net operating income= $384,000
Finally, the break-even point in units:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 960,000 / (300 - 140)
Break-even point in units= 6,000

As a manager, you are trying to decide how to best layoff 10% of your workforce. You are considering laying off the 10% who are the oldest in age, because you feel that they are closest to retirement anyway. Which of the following types of justice would you most likely violate the rules of by doing this?
A. Distributive
B. Procedural
C. Interpersonal
D. Informational
Answer:
B. Procedural
Explanation:
Remember, the procedural type of justice focuses on identifying the best way to treat others in a fair way, such as following the adhering to the rule of no bias when administering justice.
In this scenario, if the manager decides to select and lay off 10% of his workforce based on their age range, he would be unintentionally displaying an age bias in his selection process, which of course most likely violates the rules of this type of justice.

Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is thereore provided before answering the question as follows:
The following information was taken from the income statement and balance sheet of The Perryman Company for the years 2018 and 2019:
2019 2018
Sales revenues $590,000 $574,000
Net income 212,000 184,000
Total assets 2,142,000 1,998,000
Total stockholders’ equity 712,000 690,000
Compute the following ratios for 2019:
Net profit margin
Asset turnover
Return on assets
The answers are now explained as follows:
a. Net profit margin for 2019
This can be calculated as follows:
Net profit margin for 2019 = Net income in 2019 / Sales revenues in 2019 = $212,000 / $590,000 = 0.3593, or 35.93%
b. Asset turnover for 2019
This can be calculated as follows:
Asset turnover for 2019 = Sales revenues / Average total assets = Sales revenues in 2019 / ((Total assets in 2019 + Total assets in 2018) / 2) = $590,000 / (($2,142,000 + $1,998,000) / 2) = 0.29 times
c. Return on assets for 2019
This can be calculated as follows:
Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets = Net income in 2019 / ((Total assets in 2019 + Total assets in 2018) / 2) = $212,000 / (($2,142,000 + $1,998,000) / 2) = 0.1024, or 10.24%

Explanation:
Feliciano Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours (DLHs). The company has two products, I63E and E76I, about which it has provided the following data: I63E E76I Direct materials per unit $ 21.70 $ 65.10 Direct labor per unit $ 19.50 $ 58.50 Direct labor-hours per unit 0.80 2.40 Annual production (units) 90,000 30,000
The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $2,063,250 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 45,000.
The company is considering using a form of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below:
Activities and Activity Measures Estimated
Overhead Cost
Assembling products (DLHs) $ 720,000
Preparing batches (batches) 263,250
Product support (product variations) 1,080,000
Total $ 2,063,250
Expected Activity
I63E E76I Total
DLHs 24,000 21,000 45,000
Batches 1,080 675 1,755
Product variations 2,115 1,485 3,600
The manufacturing overhead that would be applied to a unit of product E76I under the activity-based costing system is closest to:________.
Answer:
Unitary cost= $30.91
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Assembling products= 720,000/45,000= $16 per DLH
Preparing batches= 263,250/1,755= $150 per batch
Product support= 1,080,000/3,600= $330 per product variation
Now, we allocate costs to Product E76l:
Assembling products= 16*21,000= $336,000
Preparing batches= 150*675= $101,250
Product support= 330*1,485= $490,050
Total= $927,300
Finally, the unitary cost:
Unitary cost= 927,300 / 30,000
Unitary cost= $30.91

Answer: Operating lease
Explanation:
An operating lease operates much like a rental type instrument. The asset being leased will not have its ownership rights transferred to the person leasing it and the person leasing it will be paying a certain amount every designated period that is equal to the Right of Use amount.
This is the case here as Crystal Corporation pays a certain amount every month for the leased equipment and this amount is the same as the Right-of-use asset amount. This is therefore an operating lease.

Explanation:
Under Monopolistic Competition:
Average cost = 70
Production level = 50
Under perfect competition:
Average cost = 65
Production level = 70
Excess capacities are a circumstance where an economic performance would be less than the commodity that somehow a company might offer to that same marketplace.Throughout terms of long-lasting balances, the commodity demand of such a monopolistic competition corporation is lesser than that of a complete business entity.Reasons why South African post office taking private courier companies to court
Answer:
Explanation:
As the only operator of this kind in South Africa, the Post Office has the exclusive right to provide delivery services for all letters, postcards, printed matter, small parcels, and other postal articles up to and including 1kg.
PostNet was initially ordered to stop delivering all packages weighing 1kg and less by 17 March 2020. However, it secured an interdict which allowed it to continue to deliver these packages until the full challenge was heard in the Gauteng High Court.
The Post Office, Postnet and the South African Express Parcel Association (SAEPA) are now set to head to court in a move that could have ramifications for the entire courier industry in South Africa.
Icasa spokesperson Paseka Maleka told BusinessDay that the regulator would give its support to the Post Office as it was following the letter of the law, which allowed private couriers to only deliver food items in the 1kg or less category.
“Icasa’s mandate is to implement what the law requires, and we are doing exactly that,” he said.
“There are exemptions that deal with businesses that do not fall under postal services. Uber Eats, Mr Delivery, etc are such businesses. Obviously, one cannot expect Sapo to be delivering pizza to a consumer,” he said.
Which of the following statement completions is NOT CORRECT? For a profitable firm, when MACRS accelerated depreciation is compared to straight-line depreciation, MACRS accelerated allowances produce a. Lower tax payments in the earlier years of an asset's life. b. Larger total undiscounted profits from the project over the project's life. c. Higher depreciation charges in the early years of an asset's life. d. Smaller accounting profits in the early years, assuming the company uses the same depreciation method for tax and book purposes. e. Larger cash flows in the earlier years of an asset's life.
Answer:
The NOT CORRECT statement is:
b. Larger total undiscounted profits from the project over the project's life.
Explanation:
The MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System) apportions larger depreciation expense in the earlier years of the asset's life, as it attempts to depreciate higher cost in those earlier years than the later years. This implies that the accounting profits in the early years can only be smaller and the undiscounted profits cannot be larger over the project's life.
In an economy open to international trade ________.
A) saving equals investment in equilibrium
B) saving is the difference between net exports and investment
C) saving equals investment as long as the economy has no exports
D) saving equals investment as long as NX
Answer: D) saving equals investment as long as NX = 0
Explanation:
The last option was incomplete as it should have said ...NX = 0.
The Income/GDP of a country that is open to international trade is calculated as follows:
Income = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + Net exports
Y = C + I + G + NX
If NX = 0 then the formula becomes:
Y = C + I + G
Investment in this scenario is therefore:
I = Y - C - G
This is the same as savings as savings is calculated by subtracting consumption and government spending from the total income. This is because government spending is derived from taxes so the cash that people get to save is their income less than their taxes and consumption expenses.
S = Y - C - G = Y
