A male worker meets and regularly exceeds the work standards in the coding unit while the female workers in the unit usually, but not always, meet basic work standards. Based upon this information, the supervisor did not recommend a merit increase for the male worker since this increase would result in him receiving a higher wage than the female workers in the same unit. Given the scenario, determine which (if any) federal regulatory requirement has been violated
Answers
Answer:
The Federal regulatory requirement here which has been breached is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Explanation:
Acording to SEC. 2000e-2. [Section 703]
"(a) Employer practices
It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer -
(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; or
(2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."
The supervisor might have been attempting to create equality. However, the results of the work stand out. By refusing to reward the male worker, the supervisor has discriminated against him on the basis of his gender. His work deserves merit. The work of the female worker does not.
Hence the supervisor is in violation of the statue refered above.

On December 27, 2020, Roberta purchased four tickets to a charity ball sponsored by the city of San Diego for the benefit of underprivileged children. Each ticket cost $125 and had a fair market value of $25. On the same day as the purchase, Roberta gave the tickets to the minister of her church for personal use by his family. At the time of the gift of the tickets, Roberta pledged $11,050 to the building fund of her church. The pledge was satisfied by a check dated December 31, 2020, but not mailed until January 3, 2021.
a. Presuming Roberta is a cash basis and calendar year taxpayer, she can deduct $_________ for the tickets and $____________ for the pledge as a charitable contribution for 2018.
b. Would the amount of the deduction be any different if Roberta were an accrual basis taxpayer?
Answers
Answer:
a. Presuming that Roberta is a cash basis and calendar year taxpayer, how much can she deduct as a charitable contribution for 2020?
Roberta can deduct ($125 x 4) - ($25 x 4) = $500 - $100 = $500. She cannot deduct the check because it was not mailed before December 31.
b. Would the amount of the deduction be any different if Roberta was an accrual basis taxpayer? Explain.
As an accrual taxpayer, she could deduct $500 + $11,050 = $11,550. She had already written the check and the fact that it was mailed on January 3 doesn't make a difference for an accrual taxpayer.

When constructing an X-bar chart, what would be the center line?
Answers
Answer:
58 degrees fahrenheit
Explanation:
the centerline will be 58 degrees fahrenheit
the upper control limit = 58 degrees + (1.099 x 1.5) = 59.6485 degrees fahrenheit
the lower control limit = 58 degrees - (1.099 x 1.5) = 56.3515 degrees fahrenheit
the A₃ control value for n = 8 is 1.099

B) Benny cannot file a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA because he is a state employee.
C) Benny is a state employee and must file his claim pursuant to the Older Workers' Benefit Protection Act.
D) Benny does not have a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA as he was replaced by an employee who is older than 30.
Answers
Answer: B. Benny cannot file a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA because he is a state employee.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, since Benny lives in a state that has not waived sovereign immunity, thus simply means that Benny cannot file a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA because he is a state employee.
Eben though the Age Discrimination in the Employment Act protects workers that are 40 years and above and Benny is 57 years, it should be noted that in the states whereby sovereign immunity hasn't been waived, the state employees cannot due their employers as they're barred from doing so.
Therefore, the correct option is B.

Answers
Answer:
a) When Y = $1,500 billion, AE =$1050 billion
b)When Y = $2,000 billion, AE = $1400 billion
c) When Y = $2.500 billion, AE =$1750 billion
Explanation:
As we know,
Yd = Y- T
Y = national income (or GDP)
T = Tax Revenues = 0.3Y
a) When Y = $1,500 billion, AE = $1,500 -0.3*$1,500 = $1050 billion
b) When Y = $2,000 billion, AE =$2,000 - 0.3*$2,000 = $1400 billion
c) When Y = $2.500 billion, AE = $2.500 - 0.3 * $2.500 = $1750 billion
Assuming the economy to operate in equilibrium, the aggregate expenditure model explains that GDP is equal to the Aggregate expenditure. Therefore, the solutions are:
Y = $1,500 billion, AE = $1,500 billion.Y = $2,000 billion, AE = $2,000 billion.Y = $2,500 billion, AE = $2,500 billion.What is the aggregate expenditure model?The aggregate expenditure model explains the relationship between GDP and planned spending. The model states that:

b.
Assessing the output of employee
c.
Both are correct
d.
Non are correct
Answers
Answer: c. Both are correct
Explanation:
Assessing the output of an employee shows some of the actual performance of that employee as it shows just how much they have contributed to the overall output of the company.
Assessing employee behavior also shows actual performance because behavior can influence output for example, how often the employee shows up to work and their work ethic when there. In the service industry as well, behavior can affect company sales as people react to how they are treated. It is therefore an important matric for actual performance evaluation.

Answer:
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
Option b is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
w represents the weight of each component D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively r represents the cost of each componentrD * (1-tax rate) represents the after tax cost of debt
WACC = 0.2 * 0.16 + 0.8 * 0.185
WACC = 0.18 or 18%

The difference in rankings for Funds A and D is most likely due to:
a. A lack of diversification in fund A as compared to fund D.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fund Treynor Measure Rank Sharpe Ratio Rank
A 1 4
B 2 3
C 3 2
D 4 1
b) The Sharpe ratio and the Treynor measure are two financial performance ratios that measure the risk-adjusted rate of return of an investment. Specifically, the Sharpe ratio helps investors to understand an investment's return profile when compared to its risk profile. On the other hand, the Treynor ratio measures the excess return generated for portfolio risk per unit.
In conclusion, the Sharpe ratio appears to be a better measure with a portfolio that is not properly diversified, while the Treynor ratio works better with a well-diversified portfolio.
A company prints proceedings books for a trade show that are sold to attendees for $10 per book. The books cost the company $2 per book to make. Any books left over at the end of the trade show can be sold to a local paper mill for $0.50 each, but it costs the printing company $0.25 per book to haul them to the paper mill. What are the underage and overage costs for the books
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
Given that
Selling price = $10
Cost price = $2
Now
The Salvage Value (SV) = 0.50 - 0.25 = 0.25
So,
Underage penalty (Cu) = Selling price - Cost price
= $10 - $2
= $8
And,
Overage penalty (Co) = Cost price - Salvage Value
= $2 - $0.25
= $1.75
Hence, the same is to be conisdered
Murray Exports (U.S.) exports heavy crane equipment to several Chinese dock facilities. Sales are currently 10,000 units per year at the yuan equivalent of $24,000 each. The Chinese yuan (renminbi) has been trading at Yuan8.20/$, but a Hong Kong advisory service predicts the renminbi will drop in value next week to Yuan9.00/$, after which it will remain at that rate for the foreseeable future. Based onthis forecast, Murray Exports faces a pricing decision in the face of the impending devaluation. It may either (1) maintain the same yuan price and in effect sell for fewer dollars, in which case Chinese volume will not change; or (2) maintain the same dollar price, raise the yuan price in China to offset the devaluation, and experience a 10% drop in unit volume. In both cases, direct costs per unit are 75% of the current U.S. sales price of $24,000.
A. What would be the short-run(one-year) impact of each pricing stragety?
B. Which do recommend?
Answers
Answer:
Murray Exports (U.S.)
A. The short-run impact of each pricing strategy is as follows:
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Reduce Price to $21,867 Maintain Price at $24,000
Gross profit $38,670,000 $54,000,000
Reduction in Gross Profit $21,330,000 $6,000,000
B. (2) maintain the same dollar price of $24,000, raise the yuan price in China to Yuan 216,000 per unit to offset the devaluation, and experience a 10% drop in sales unit volume.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current exchange rate = Yuan 8.20/US$
Current exports of heavy crane equipment per year to China = 10,000
US unit price of printer in dollars = $24,000
Chinese unit price of crane equipment in Yuan equivalent = Yuan 196,800 ($24,000 * Yuan 8.20)
Unit price of crane equipment in Chinese Yuan when the currency is devalued = Yuan 216,000 ($24,000 * Yuan 9.00)
The reduced dollar price with devaluation, when Yuan price is maintained = $21,867 (Yuan 196,800/9.00)
Before Devaluation of Chinese Yuan:
Sales volume 10,000
Sales revenue $240,000,000 (10,000 * $24,000)
Direct costs 180,000,000 (10,000 * $18,000) (75% of $24,000)
Gross profit $60,000,000
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Reduce Price to $21,867 Maintain Price at $24,000
Sales volume 10,000 units 9,000 (10,000 * 90%) units
Sales revenue $218,670,000 $216,000,000 ($24,000 * 9,000)
Direct costs 180,000,000 162,000,000 ($18,000 * 9,000)
Gross profit $38,670,000 $54,000,000 ($6,000 * 9,000)
Direct costs = $180m ($18,000 * 10,000) = $162m ($18,000 * 9,000)

Months Units Sold Units Defective Prior to December 31
November 37,300 746
December 39,300 491
Required:
a. Prepare the journal entries to record the estimated liability for warranties and the costs incurred in honoring 1,237 warranty claims.
b. Determine the estimated warranty liability at December 31 for the units sold in November and December.
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
In November month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 37,300
= 1,492
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units is
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,492 × $20
= $29,840
In December month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 39,300
= 1,572
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units:
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,572 × $20
= $31,440
Now the Total estimated liability is
= $29,840 + $31,440
= $61,280
The Journal entries are as follows:
(a) Warranty expenses A/c Dr. $61,280
To Estimated warranty payable $61,280
(Being warranty expense is recorded)
Estimated warranty payable A/c Dr. $24,740
To Cash/ Material consume $24,740

Suppose you trade dollars and euros for a bank that has branches in Los Angeles and Frankfurt. You can electronically transfer the funds between the two branch locations at no cost, and trading commissions are negligible. The current dollar-per-euro exchange rate in Los Angeles is E$/EURLA=1.5653 , while in Frankfurt, it is E$/EURFR=1.586.
You can make a profit for the bank if you buy euros in _______ and sell them in _________.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Profit will be made by you for the bank if you buy the Euros in Los Angeles, and sell the Euros to customers in Frankfurt...
Buying in Los Angeles comes at a price of $1 = €1.5653, then going ahead to sell in Frankfurt means you get to sell it at a rate of $1 = €1.586
Although this is a very tiny difference, of 0.0207. The reality is that when you're doing a lot of tradings that involves currency, you tend to see the profit. If for example, a total of $1 million is traded, then the profit would be $20700, which we all can attest to the fact that it's a lot of money.

Howard's Supply Co. suffered a fire loss on April 20, 2021. The company's last physical inventory was taken January 30, 2021, at which time the inventory totaled $226,000. Sales from January 30 to April 20 were $606,000 and purchases during that time were $456,000. Howard's consistently reports a 30% gross profit. The estimated inventory loss is: Multiple Choice
Answers
Answer:
$257,800
Explanation:
According to the scenario, calculation of the given data are as follows,
Inventory on Jan. 30,2021 = $226,000
Sales = $606,000
Purchase = $456,000
Gross profit = 30% × $606,000 = $181,800
So, we can calculate the inventory loss by using following formula,
Inventory loss = COG for sale - COG sold
= ($226,000 + $456,000) - ($606,000 - $181,800)
= $682,000 - $424,200
= $257,800
Berry Corp. is considering an investment with an initial cost of $250,000. Assume straight line depreciation with no salvage value is appropriate. The investment is expected to generate cash revenues of $200,000 and incur cash costs of $120,000 each year for the next four years. Assume straight line depreciation with no salvage value is appropriate. What is the investment's annual rate of return
Answers
Answer:
14%
Explanation:
Depreciation = Cost - Residual value / Useful life
Depreciation = ($250,000 - 0)/4
Depreciation = $62,500
Annual net earnings = Revenue - Cost - Depreciation
Annual net earnings = $200,000 - $120,000 - $62,500
Annual net earnings = $17,500
Annual rate of return = Annual net earnings / Average investment
Annual rate of return = $17,500/ [($250,000 + $0) /2]
Annual rate of return = $17,500 / $125,000
Annual rate of return = 0.14
Annual rate of return = 14%
Cavy Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $1,745,300. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 56,300 hours. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate to apply factory overhead. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $fill in the blank 1 per machine hour
Answers
Answer:
$31
Explanation:
Given the following information,
Total factory overhead costs = $1,745,300
Direct labor hours = 56,300
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate, we will make use of the formula below;
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = Total estimated overhead costs for the period / Total amount of allocation base
= $1,745,300 / 56,300
= $31
Therefore, the predetermined overhead rate to apply to factory overhead is $31

2. Prepare the journal entry to record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2020.
3. Prepare the income tax expense section of the income statement for 2020, beginning with the line "Income before income taxes."
Answers
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The income taxes payable for 2020 will be:
= Taxable income for 2020 × Tax rate
= $98,800 × 20%
= $98,800 × 0.2
= $19760
b. The journal entry to record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2020 goes thus:
Income tax expense:
= Pretax financial income for 2020 × Tax rate
= $104,000 × 20%
= $104,000 × 0.2
= $20800
The income taxes payable = $19760
Cumulative temporary difference at December 31, 2020, giving rise to future taxable amounts = $249,600
Deferred tax liability required at December 31, 2020:
= $249,600 × 20%
= $49920
Deferred tax liability, January 1, 2020 = $41600
Therefore, the increase in deferred tax liability in 2020 will be:
= $49920 - $41600
= $8320
Cumulative temporary difference at December 31, 2020, giving rise to future deductible amounts = $36,400
Deferred tax assets balance required at December 31, 2020 will be:
= $36,400 × 20%
= $36400 × 0.2
= $7280
Deferred tax asset, January 1, 2020 = $0
Therefore, the increase in the deferred tax asset in 2020 will be:
= $7280 - 0
= $7,280
Therefore, the journal entry will be:
Debit Income Tax Expense = $20800
Debit Defered Tax Asset = $7,280
Credit Income Tax Payable = $19760
Credit Defered Tax Liability = $8320
(To record income tax expense, defered assets and defered liabilities)
c. The income tax expense section of the income statement for 2020 will be:
Income before Income Tax = $104000
Less: Income Tax expense - Current = $19760
Less: Income Tax expense - Defered = $1040
Net income = $83200

A company is trying to estimate the cost of debt for a new project. For their estimate, they will find the yield to maturity on existing company bonds. They have one outstanding bond issue at the moment that will mature in 15.00 years. The bond pays an annual coupon of 9.00%, with a face value of $1,000. The bond currently trades at 92.00% of face value. What is the yield to maturity on the existing debt
Answers
Answer:
Yield to maturity =9.9%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity is the return on debt expressed in percentage. It can be used to worked as follows using the formula below
YTM =( C + F-P/n) ÷ ( 1/2× (F+P))
C- annual coupon,
F- face value ,
P- current price,
n- number of years to maturity
YM - Yield to maturity
C- 9%× 1000 =90 , P- 92×1000= 920, F- 1000
AYM = 90 + (1000-920)/15 ÷ 1/2× (1000+920)
= 95.33 ÷ 960
Yield to maturity =9.9%
