The correct statement concerning the dividend paid on August 1st is:
E. Both Marti and Leslie are entitled to the dividend.
Explanation:
a) Data:
June 7th, Leslie purchased 100 shares of GT stock
July 9th, Marti purchased 100 shares of GT stock
July 20th Dividend is declared (dividend declaration date)
July 11th = date of record for dividend payment
August 1st = date of dividend payment
b) Analysis: Both Leslie and Marti purchased shares of GT stock prior to the date of record. The date of record is when note is taken of the stockholders who are entitled to dividend. It is one of the three important dates concerning dividend. The other dates are the declaration date and the payment date.
Reed Corp. has set the following standard direct materials and direct labor costs per unit for the product it manufactures Direct materials (10 lbs. $3 per lb. Direct labor (2 hrs. $12 per hr $30 24 During June the company incurred the following actual costs to produce 9,000 units Direct materials (92,000 lbs $2.95 per 1b. 271,400 226,540 Direct labor (18,800 hr. $12.05 per hr AQ Actual Quantity SQ Standard Quantity AP Actual Price SP Standard Price AH Actual Hours SH Standard Hours AR Actual Rate SR - Standard Rate
(1) Compute the direct materials price and quantity variances
(2) Compute the direct labor rate variance and the direct labor efficiency variance. Indicate whether each variance is favorable or unfavorable
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (3 - 2.95)*92,000
Direct material price variance= $4,600 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (10*9,000 - 92,000)*3
Direct material quantity variance= $6,000 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (2*9,000 - 18,800)*12
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $9,600 unfavorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (12 - 12.05)*18,800
Direct labor rate variance= $940 unfavorable
Allen buys only beer and pizza. When the price of beer is $2.00 per bottle and the price of pizza is $10.00, Allen maximizes his total utility (satisfaction) by buying 5 beers and 4 pizzas. If the marginal utility of the 5th beer is 100 utils. What would be the marginal utility of the 4th pizza?
Answer:
500 utils.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What would be the marginal utility of the 4th pizza
First step is to determine the Total utility maximized
Using this formula
Total utility maximized =Beer Marginal Utility/Price of beers =Pizza Marginal Utility/Price of pizza.
Let plug in the formula
Total utility maximized= 100 utils/$2.00 = Marginal Utility of pizza/$10.00.
Marginal Utility of beers = 100/$2
Marginal Utility of beers= 50 utils per dollar
Marginal Utility of pizza =50 utils per dollar
Now let determine the marginal utility of the 4th pizza
Hence,
50 = Marginal Utility of pizza/$10
Marginal Utility of pizza=50*$10
Marginal Utility of pizza= 500 utils.
Therefore What would be the marginal utility of the 4th pizza is 500 utils
Niendorf Corporation's 25-year maturity bonds have an 8.75% coupon rate with interest paid semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. if your required rate of return is 13% what is the intrinsic value of the bond
Answer: $687.10
Explanation:
The value of a bond is the present value of the bond's coupon payments plus the present value of the bond's par value at maturity.
First convert terms to semi-annual periods as the coupon rate is semi annual:
Coupon payment = (1,000 * 8.75%) / 2 = $43.75
Required return = 13% / 2 = 6.5%
Number of periods = 25 * 2 = 50 semi annual periods
The coupon payment is an annuity so the value of the bond is:
= Present value of annuity + Present value of par
= (43.75 * ( 1 - (1 + 6.5%) ⁻⁵⁰) / 6.5%) + 1,000 / ( 1 + 6.5%)⁵⁰
= $687.10

A leader who is the head of a team or department might choose a particular seating arrangement that best suit the current work environment based on his or her style, thought, and perspective.
Suppose the U.S. yield curve is flat at 3% and the euro yield curve is flat at 5%. The current exchange rate is $1.4 per euro. What will be the swap rate on an agreement to exchange currency over a 3-year period
Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question.
answer :
3.02 million, 2.96 million, 2.91 million
Explanation:
Determine the swap rate over a 3-year period
swap rate = forward exchange rate * exchange amount
For year 1
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 ) * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 ) * 2.2
= 3.02 million
For year 2
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^2 * 2..2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^2 * 2.2 million
= 2.96378 million
For year 3
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 2.90733 million
Birmingham Bolt, Inc., has been approached by one of its customers about producing 800,000 special-purpose parts for a new home product. The customer wants 100,000 parts per year for eight years. To provide these parts, Birmingham would need to acquire a $500,000 new production machine. The new machine would have no salvage value at the end of its eight-year life. The customer has offered to pay Birmingham $7.50 per unit for the parts. Birmingham’s managers have estimated that, in addition to the new machine, the company would incur the following costs to produce each part:
Direct labor $2.00
Direct material $2.50
Variable 2.00
Total $6.50
In addition, annual fixed out-of-pocket costs related to the production of these parts would be $20,000.
a. Compute the net present value of the machine investment, assuming that the company uses a discount rate of 9 percent to evaluate capital projects.
b. Based on the NPV computed in (a), is the machine a worthwhile investment? Explain.
c. In addition to the NPV, what other factors should Birmingham’s managers consider when making the investment decision?
Answer:
Birmingham Bolt, Inc.
a. The net present value of the machine investment = ($57,214.47).
b. Based on the computed NPV in (a), the machine is not a worthwhile investment. Birmingham will lose $57,214.47 from the investment.
c. In addition to the NPV, the other factors that Birmingham’s managers should consider when making the investment decision are:
1. the probability of reducing the variable costs per unit of production by achieving productivity efficiencies.
2. whether the price could be reviewed upward with the customer.
3. whether there will be increased demand for the product in the future.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Special-purpose parts for a new home product = 800,000 parts
Annual requirement of the parts = 100,000
Period of contract = 8 years
Discount rate = 9%
Initial investment in production machine = $500,000
Price offer per part = $7.50
Annual sales revenue from parts = $750,000
Variable costs;
Direct labor $2.00
Direct material $2.50
Variable $2.00
Total $6.50 $650,000
Contribution margin $100,000
Annual fixed costs $20,000
Annual net cash inflow $80,000
PV of annual cash inflows = $442,785.53
NPV = ($57,214.47) ($442,785.53 - $500,000)
N (# of periods) 8
I/Y (Interest per year) 9
PMT (Periodic Payment) 80000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results
PV = $442,785.53
Sum of all periodic payments = $640,000.00
Total Interest = $197,214.47
Solar Innovations Corporation bought a machine at the beginning of the year at a cost of $31,000. The estimated useful life was five years and the residual value was $3,000. Assume that the estimated productive life of the machine is 10,000 units. Expected annual production was year 1, 2,000 units; year 2, 3,000 units; year 3, 2,000 units; year 4, 2,000 units; and year 5, 1,000 units.
Required:
a. Which method will result in the highest net income in year 2?
b. Does this higher net income mean the machine was used more efficiently under this depreciation method?
Answer:
Straight line depreciation
no
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(31,000 - 3000) / 5 = $5,600
depreciation expense each year is 5600
Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(3000 / 10,000) x (31,000 - 3000) = 8400
Double declining =
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
2/5 x 31000 = 12400
year 2 = 2/5 x(31,000 - 12400) = 7440

Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,100 light fixtures (units) at $9 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 8,500 units at $11.00 each. This level represents 85% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $8.50 per unit, which includes $6.50 variable cost and $2.00 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $1,200 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. Should the company accept the special order
Answer:
Minor Electric
The company should accept the special order. It makes a unit contribution of $1.41, which amounts to $1,551 in total.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Special order received for light fixtures = 1,100 units
Price of special order = $9 per unit
Production and sales units = 8,500 = 85% capacity
Total capacity = 10,000 units (8,500/0.85)
Selling price at production and sales units = $11.00 each
Production costs per unit = $8.50
Variable cost per unit = $6.50
Fixed cost per unit = $2
Cost of new machine required for special order = $1,200
Special order costs:
Variable cost per unit = $7,150 ($6.50 * 1,100)
Cost of new machine = 1,200
Total relevant costs = $8,350
Unit cost = $7.59 ($8,350/1,100)
Selling price = $9.00
Contribution per unit = $1.41

When the price of Milk is $5 per gallon consumers demand 1,000 boxes of Boo Berry Cereal. When the price of milk increases to $5.50 per gallon consumers demand 700 boxes of Boo Berry Cereal.
Required:
a. What is the percentage change in the price of milk?
b. What is the percentage change in the quantity demanded for Boo Berry Cereal?
Answer: a. 10%
b. -30%
Explanation:
a. What is the percentage change in the price of milk?
Old price = $5.00
New price = $5.50
Percentage change = ($5.50 - $5.00)/$5.00 × 100
= 0.50/5.00 × 100
= 1/10 × 100
= 10%
Percentage change on price = 10%
b. What is the percentage change in the quantity demanded for Boo Berry Cereal?
Old quantity = 1000
New quantity = 700
Percentage change = (700 - 1000)/1000 × 100
= -300/1000 × 100
= -30%
The percentage change in the quantity demanded for Boo Berry Cereal is -30%.

Which of the following is the most important for the investigator to address before submitting the protocol to the IRB?
a. Potential undue influence or coercion of subjects
b. Method of payment to subjects
c. Forms of advertising for subject recruitment
d. Literacy of homeless subjects
Answer:
Potential undue influence or coercion of subjects
Explanation:
In research, offering to pay participant can can in a huge way influence a research the subject's decision making in consenting to the research. Without payment, the said subject may decide to participate or not. researchers do often recruit subjects without offering payments, with volunteer subjects participating completely for altruistic rewards ot free will. sometimes research projects do offer remuneration to thd subjects so as to compensate them for their time, inconvenience, discomfort etc. So as to attract a good numbers of subjects.
Coercion
This occurs as a result of overt threat of harm. This is done intentionally by one person to another in order to get compliance to whatever they may say.
Undue influence
This simply occurs also due to throughout offer of an excessive, unwarranted, inappropriate or improper reward so as to get the needed compliance.

Maintenance costs for pollution control equipment on a call for an s are expected to be $180,000 now and another $70,000.03 years from now. assume that the company uses a real interest rate of 9% per year and the inflation rate average is 3% per year. What is the equivalent annual cost of the equipment?
Answer:
Annual cost = −64,083
Explanation:
Present maintenance costs = $180000
Maintenance costs after three years = $70000
Real interest rate = 9%
Inflation rate = 3%
Inflation adjusted interest rate, r = 0.09 + 0.03 + (0.09)(0.03) = 12.27% per year
Annual cost = −180,000(A/P,12.27%,5) –70,000(P/F,12.27%,3)(A/P,12.27%,5)
Annual cost = −180,000(0.27927)–70,000(0.70666)(0.27927)
Annual cost = −64,083
How does a business achieve economies of scale?
Answer:
Companies can achieve economies of scale by increasing production and lowering costs. This happens because costs are spread over a larger number of goods. Costs can be both fixed and variable. ... The larger the business, the more the cost savings.

When there is a capacity constraint :_________
A. firms are not maximizing their profits during high season.
B. consumers will avoid the producer and go with a firm that has extra capacity.
C. firms face sunk costs when deciding whether or not to expand.
D. firms can use peakload pricing to increase profits during periods of high demand.
Answer:
The answer is "Option D".
Explanation:
Capacity restrictions are indeed a regulation that restricts the number of items that a supplier could be assigned. Trade could be allocated to a leading provider through the constraint, or the amount of trade can be restricted for a supplier, therefore companies having resource constraints may employ peak price and increase revenue during peak times.
Semi-fixed Cost will be
A. zero if output were zero and would change
erratically as output increased
B. more than zero if no products were made and
would then increase in direct proportion to output
C. zero when output is zero and would increase
in direct proportion to output
D. a fixed amount when output was zero and would
not increase in direct proportion to output
Answer:
B. more than zero if no products were made and would then increase in direct proportion to output
Explanation:
Semi-fixed Cost will be "more than zero if no products were made and would then increase in direct proportion to output."
This is because a semi-fixed cost also known as semi-variable cost or mixed cost is a combination of both a fixed factor and a variable factor.
Such that if production was zero some costs would still be incurred. However, as output rises, the variable part of the costs will rise in direct proportion to output.
Airline CF leases all its aircraft under capital / finance leases. Airline O leases all its aircraft under operating leases.

Below is information from the financial statements of Greenwich Company: Accounts receivable (net) 2016: $2,400 Accounts receivable (net) 2015: $2,200 Net sales 2016: $25,875 What is the average collection period
Answer:
32.44 days
Explanation:
The computation of the average collection period is shown below:
But before that we have to determine the account receivable turnover ratio
So, the account receivable turnover ratio is
= (net sales) ÷ (average of account receivables)
= $25,875 ÷ ($2,400 + $2,200) ÷ 2
= $25,875 ÷ $2,300
= 11.25 times
Now the average collection period is
= Total no of days in a year ÷ account receivable turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 11.25
= 32.44 days
We assume that the no of days that should be considered is 365 days

XYZ Industries makes heavy construction equipment. The standard for a crane calls for 20 direct labor-hours at $24 per direct labor-hour. During a recent period 875 cranes were made. The labor efficiency variance was $1,200 Unfavorable. How many actual direct labor-hours were worked
Answer:
17,550
Explanation:
Labor efficiency variance = Standard rate * (Actual hours - Standard hours)
$1200 = $24 * (Actual hours - 875*20)
50 = Actual hours - 17,500
Actual hours = 17,500 + 50
Actual hours = 17,550
So, the actual direct labor-hours which were worked is 17,550.
