Answer:
1. Compute Northeast USA's depreciation for the first two years on the plane using the straight-line method, theunits-of-production method, and the double-declining balance method.
a. Straight-line method Using the straight-line method, depreciation is $9,600,000
straight line depreciation = ($53,200,000 - $5,200,000) / 5 = $9,600,000
depreciation expense year 1 = $9,600,000
depreciation expense year 2 = $9,600,000
b. Units-of-production method (Round the depreciation per unit of output to two decimal places to compute your final answers.) Using the units-of-production method, depreciation is $7.384615 per mile
depreciation expense per unit of production = ($53,200,000 - $5,200,000) / 6,500,000 = $7.384615 per mile
depreciation expense year 1 = $7.384615 x 900,000 = $6,646,153.50
depreciation expense year 2 = $7.384615 x 1,400,000 = $10,338,461
c. Double-declining balance method
depreciation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/5 x $53,200,000 = $21,280,000
depreciation expense year 2 = 2 x 1/5 x $31,920,000 = $12,768,000
A machine with a cost of $133,000 and accumulated depreciation of $86,500 is sold for $53,000 cash. The amount that should be reported in the operating activities section reported under the direct method is:
Answer:
Zero, because the selling of fixed asset is reported as cash inflow under investing activity.
Explanation:
Cash flow from investing activities includes all the investments in the long term assets and sale of investments or individual assets. The investment items may include Property, Plant and Equipment.
So this means that it will not be included in the Cash from Operating Activities because it is a Cash from Investing Activities.

Calculate variable costs per unit, variable cost per unit for utilities and variable cost per unit for maintenance.
Answer:
variable costs per unit = $10.57
variable cost per unit for utilities = $0.85
variable cost per unit for maintenance = $0.25
Explanation:
I believe that the question is incomplete: the missing part is that both utilities and maintenance costs are mixed.
Production in units 3,900
Variable production cost s:
Direct materials $9,675 / 3,900 = $2.4808 per unit
Direct labor $27,420 / 3,900 = $6.9846 per unit
Utilities ($3,702 - $387) / 3,900 = $0.85 per unit
Maintenance ($1,233 - $258) / 3,900 = $0.25 per unit
total variable costs per unit = $10.5654 ≈ $10.57
Discuss and analyze a situation where you worked on a team/ project team consisting of diverse or intercultural team members
a. What were some good and/or poor examples of communication?
b. Discuss any examples or interpretation of cultural differences as described in Hoftstede's Cultural Values chart on p. 46 of your text (i.e. individualism, time orientation, formality, etc.).
c. Is there anything that could have been done to make the communication more effective?
Explanation:
a. What were some good and/or poor examples of communication?
Intercultural communication in the workplace can generate some significant difficulties, in an intercultural work team, there may be behaviors of certain members that differ from the rest of the group, which can mean lack of integration of the team due to lack of respect and interest to the cultural values of a particular member.
b. Discuss any examples or interpretation of cultural differences as described in Hoftstede's Cultural Values chart on p. 46 of your text (i.e. individualism, time orientation, formality, etc.).
Formality can be interpreted differently according to different cultures. In a more flexible culture like the American one, for example, formality may not be so expressed through the use of formal language and dress, whereas in a less flexible culture, this can be seen as a disrespect, as they can establish a more serious and formal communication in the workplace.
c. Is there anything that could have been done to make the communication more effective?
To make intercultural communication more effective, it is necessary above all to respect the individual values of an individual that exist in certain ways in some situations. The ideal is that people are open to learn and exchange experiences, willing to help the individual to integrate into the group, and above all to act in an ethical and respectful way always.
balance sheet reports assets of $6900000 and liabilities of $2700000. All of Ivanhoe’s assets’ book values approximate their fair value, except for land, which has a fair value that is $410000 greater than its book value. On 12/31/21, Oriole Corporation paid $7030000 to acquire Ivanhoe. What amount of goodwill should Oriole record as a result of this purchase?
Answer: $2,420,000
Explanation:
Goodwill is the amount over the fair value of a company that it is purchased for.
Goodwill = Acquisition price - Net Assets
Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities
= (6,900,000 + 410,000) - 2,700,000
= $4,610,000
Goodwill = 7,030,000 - 4,610,000
= $2,420,000

The following data were reported by a corporation: Authorized shares 37,000 Issued shares 32,000 Treasury shares 12,000 The number of outstanding shares is: Multiple Choice 37,000. 32,000. 25,000.
Answer:
20,000
Explanation:
Outstanding shares = Issued shares - Treasury shares
32,000 - 12,000 = 20,000
Shares is a method through which firms raise capital.
Authorised shares are the maximum number of shares a company can issue to investors
Outstanding shares are the total number of shares sold to investors
Treasury shares are shares that have been issued and later repurchased by the company
Issued shares are the shares that a company issues
Your bank pays 4% interest annually. You have $2,500 invested in the bank. How long will it take for your funds to double
Answer:
17.69 years
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the number of periods of time is:
n=ln(FV/PV)/ln(1+r)
n= number of periods of time
FV= future value=$2,500*2=$5,000
PV= present value=$2,500
r=interest rate=0.04
Now, you can replace the values in the formula:
n=ln(5,000/2,500)/ln(1+0.04)
n=ln2/ln1.04
n=0.69/0.039
n=17.69
According to this, the answer is that it will take 17.69 years for your funds to double.
Poulter Corporation will pay a dividend of $4.25 per share next year. The company pledges to increase its dividend by 6.75 percent per year, indefinitely. If you require a return of 10 percent on your investment, how much will you pay for the company’s stock today? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Current price of stock = $130.76(Approx).
Explanation:
Given:
Dividend paid = $4.25
Required return of return = 10%
Growth rate = 6.75%
Find:
Current price of stock = ?
Computation:
Current price of stock = D1 / (Required return of return - Growth rate)
Current price of stock = 4.25 / (0.1 - 0.0675)
Current price of stock = 4.25 / 0.0325
Current price of stock = $130.76(Approx).
According to the kinked demand curve theory, the behavior of firms in an oligopoly creates a demand curve that is ________ at prices above the cartel price and ________ at prices below the cartel price.
Answer:
According to the kinked demand curve theory, this behavior creates a demand curve that is more elastic at prices above the cartel price and more inelastic at prices below the cartel price.
Explanation:
Oligopoly is a market structure with a small number of firms, none of which can keep the from from having significant influence in the same specialization they indulge in.
The kinked demand curve theory means that the response to a price increase is less than the response to a price decrease of the Olipolist in the market

Also note that the "1. Option A 2. Option B 3. Option C" are not actually part of the question.
The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:
Note: This is an example of annuity. An annuity can be described as a series of payments made or income received at equal intervals.
Therefore, the relevant table in the question is the second table, i.e. table for the present value of an annuity of $1 at compound interest.
To calculate the present value (PV), the following for formula is used:
PV = ACI * PVA10% ............................ (1)
PV = Present value = ?
ACI = Annual cash inflows = $6,000
PVA = Present value of annuity of $1 at 10% for 4 years = 3.170
Note that the PVA is obtained for year 4 at 10% from the second table as already explained above.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
PV = $6,000 * 3.170
PV = $19,020
Therefore, the correct option is option b. $19,020.
Yasmin Co. can further process Product B to produce Product C. Product B is currently selling for $33 per pound and costs $28 per pound to produce. Product C would sell for $58 per pound and would require an additional cost of $25 per pound to produce. What is the differential cost of producing Product C?
Answer:
Differential cost is $0
Explanation:
A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.
Additional sales revenue = Sales revenue after further processing - sales revenue after split-off point
. A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.
Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .
$
Sales after split off point (Product C) 58
Sales at the split off point (Product B) 33
Additional sales revenue 25
Further processing cost (25)
Differential cost 0

What economic benefit has the debt reschedule for developing countries?
Answer:
The main economic benefit that debt rescheduling has for developing countries is that it changes principal and interest payments to more favorable conditions.
This means that after the reschedule, developing countries will have to put less resources into the payments of public debt, which allows them to have more resources available for other public investments like education, healthcare, and infraestructure.
A company had the following purchases during its first year of operations: Purchases January: 18 units at $128 February: 28 units at $138 May: 23 units at $148 September: 20 units at $158 November: 18 units at $168 On December 31, there were 58 units remaining in ending inventory. These 58 units consisted of 10 from January, 12 from February, 14 from May, 12 from September, and 10 from November. Using the specific identification method, what is the cost of the ending inventory?
Answer:
$8,584
Explanation:
Cost of ending inventory can be calculated by multiplying the remaining units of the given month by their purchase cost in the following month
DATA
Total remaining units n ending inventory = 58 units
10 from January at $128
12 from February at $138
14 from May at $148
12 from September at $158
10 from November at $168
Calculation
January = 10 x $128 = $1,280
February = 12 x $138 = $1,656
May = 14 x $148 = $2,072
September = 12 x $158 = $1,896
November = 10 x $168 = $1,680
Cost of ending inventory = $8,584
Calculating the Direct Labor Rate Variance and the Direct Labor Efficiency Variance
Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company is a service company that offers oil changes and lubrication for automobiles and light trucks. On average, Guillermo has found that a typical oil change takes 18 minutes and 6.2 quarts of oil are used. In June, Guillermo's Oil and Lube had 990 oil changes.
Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company provided the following information for the production of oil changes during the month of June:
Actual number of oil changes performed: 990
Actual number of direct labor hours worked: 291 hours
Actual rate paid per direct labor hour: $16.00
Standard rate per direct labor hour: $15.00
Required:
a. Calculate the direct labor rate variance (LRV) and the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) for June using the formula approach.
b. Calculate the direct labor rate variance (LRV) and the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) for June.
c. Calculate the total direct labor variance for oil changes for June.
d. What if the actual wage rate paid in June was $14.00? What impact would that have had on the direct labor rate variance (LRV)? On the direct labor efficiency variance (LEV)? Indicate what the new variances would be below. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.
Answer:
Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company
Calculating the Direct Labor Rate Variance and the Direct Labor Efficiency Variance
a1. Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Labor Rate minus Standard Labor Rate multiplied by Actual hours worked
= $16 - $15 x 291
= $291 U
a2. Direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) = Standard hours minus Actual hours x Standard hourly rate
= 297 - 291 x $15
= $90 F
b1. Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = the difference between the actual wages paid and the standard wages
= (Actual labour rate x actual hours) - (standard rate x actual hours)
= ($16 x 291) - ($15 x 291)
= $4,656 - $4,365
= $291 U
b2. Direct labor efficiency variance = the difference between the actual number of direct labor hours worked and budgeted direct labor hours that should have been worked based on the standards
(291 x $15) - (297 x $15)
4,365 - 4,455
= $90 F
c. Total Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Wages minus Standard Wages
= (Actual labor rate x Actual hours) - (Standard labor rate x Standard hours)
= ($16 x 291) - ($15 x 297)
= $4,656 - $4,455
= $201 U
d. If actual wage rate paid in June was $14.00:
d1. Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Labor Rate minus Standard Labor Rate multiplied by Actual hours worked
= $14 - $15 x 291
= $291 F
d2. Direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) = Standard hours minus Actual hours x Standard hourly rate
= 297 - 291 x $15
= $90 F
d3. Total Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Wages minus Standard Wages
= (Actual labor rate x Actual hours) - (Standard labor rate x Standard hours)
= ($14 x 291) - ($15 x 297)
= $4,074 - $4,455
= $381 F
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations
Actual number of oil changes performed: 990
Standard number of direct labor hours to for 990 oil changes = 990 x 0.3 hours (since 18 minutes = 0.3 hours or 18/60) = 297 hours
Actual number of direct labor hours worked: 291 hours
Actual rate paid per direct labor hour: $16.00
Standard rate per direct labor hour: $15.00
b) The impact on direct labor rate variance if the actual wage rate paid in June was $14 was to turn the unfavorable labor rate variance into a favorable variance of $291 and the total direct labor variance would have been a favorable variance $381 instead of an unfavorable variance of $201.

Time Warner shares have a market capitalization of billion. The company is expected to pay a dividend of per share and each share trades for . The growth rate in dividends is expected to be % per year. Also, Time Warner has billion of debt that trades with a yield to maturity of %. If the firm's tax rate is %, compute the WACC?
Complete Question:
Time Warner shares have a market capitalization of $50 billion. The company is expected to pay a dividend of $0.30 per share and each share trades for $30. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be 7% per year. Also, Time Warner has $15 billion of debt that trades with a yield to maturity of 8%. If the firm's tax rate is 30%, what is the WACC?
Answer:
7.5%
Explanation:
We can calculate WACC using the following formula:
WACC = Ke * MV of Equity / (MV of Equity + MV of Debt) + Kd * MV of Debt / (MV of Equity + MV of Debt)
Here:
Market Value of Equity is $50 billion
Market Value of Debt is $15 billion
Ke is % (Step 1)
Kd is 8%
By putting values, we have:
WACC = 8.07% * $50 Billion / ($50 Billion + $15 Billion) + 8% * $50 Billion / ($50 Billion + $15 Billion)
WACC = 7.5%
Step 1: Calculate Ke
We can calculate Ke using the following formula:
Ke = Do * (1 + g) / P + g
Here
Do is the dividend per share which is $0.3
g is the growth rate which is 7%
And
P is the market value of share which is $30 per share.
Ke = $30 * (1 + 7%) / $30 + 7% = 8.07%
The stock ABC has a beta of 1.6 and its standard deviation is 30%. Its correlation coefficient with the market return is 0.8. What is the standard deviation of the market return? A. None of the answers is correct B. 18% C. 20% D. 15%
Answer: D. 15%
Explanation:
Beta is given as 1.6 but is calculable by the formula;
Beta = Correlation Coefficient of stock with market returns * [tex]\frac{Standard Deviation of stock returns}{Standard Deviation of market returns}[/tex]
1.6 = 0.8 * 30%/Sdm
30% /Sdm = 1.6/0.8
30% / Sdm = 2
Sdm * 2 =30%
Sdm = 30%/2
Sdm = 15%

The bargaining power of suppliers is low when Review Later Few substitute inputs are available Suppliers are large or concentrated There are many alternative suppliers Switching costs are high
Answer:
There are many alternative suppliers
Explanation:
Bargaining power of suppliers is one of Porters Five Forces. It refers to the extent to which a supplier can exert influence over buyers.
If there are many suppliers and a supplier raises price, consumer can easily change suppliers. But if the cost of changing suppliers is high (Switching costs), consumers would have less incentive to change suppliers. Thus, the bargaining power of suppliers would be high.
If there are few substitutes, there are few alternatives to the product offered by the supplier. so, the bargaining power of the supplier is high because consumers have little alternatives to the suppliers product.

The risk-free rate is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 13%. a. Calculate the required rate of return on a security with a beta of 1.25.
Answer:
The required rate of return is r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on marketr = 0.06 + 1.25 * (0.13 - 0.06)
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
. How much would you have to deposit today if you wanted to have $66,000 in four years? Annual interest rate is 9%. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.) b. Assume that you are saving up for a trip around the world when you graduate in two years. If you can earn 8% on your investments, how much would you have to deposit today to have $18,500 when you graduate? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c-1. Calculate the future value of an investment of $787 for ten years earning an interest of 9%. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. To have $66,000 in four years with an annual interest rate of 9%, the present value is:
PV = $66,000 x discount factor
= $66,000 x (1.09)^4
= $66,000 x 0.708
= $46,728
b. To have $18,500 in two years with an interest rate of 8% yearly, the present value is:
PV = $18,500 x discount factor
= $18,500 x (1.08)^2
= $18,500 x 0.857
= $15,854.50
c. The future value of an investment of $787 for ten years earning an interest of 9% is:
FV = $787 x FV factor
= $787 x (1.09)^10
= $787 x 2.367
= $1,862.83
Explanation:
The present values for options A and B are calculated by discounting the future values with their discount factors. The present values show the amounts that need to be invested today at prevailing interest rates to yield the future values after the indicated periods of time.
The future value for option C is calculated by multiplying the present value of the investment with its future value factor. These present and future values show that there is a time value of money. This concept means that money received today is not equal in value to the same amount received some time later. Based on this difference, interest rates are charged to equate the values of money received today and money received in a year's time. The interest rates also consider the inflation rate and must always be above the inflation rate in order to retain future value.
