A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes. Any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market is generally referred to as a monopolist.
For example, a public power company is an example of a monopoly because they serve as the only source of power utility provider to the general public in a society.
Governments commonly regulate the prices and quality of services provided by natural monopolies.

Unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The unemployment rate is divided into various types, these include;
I. Natural Rate of Unemployment (NU).
II. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).
III. Structural unemployment rate (SU).
IV. Actual unemployment rate (AU).
V. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).
The attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) theory was developed and introduced by Benjamin Schneider. This theory typically gives the reason why a business firm or organization looks and feels the way it does with respect to the employees and employers.
According to the attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) theory, job applicants avoid employment in companies whose values seem incompatible with their own values. Also, it states that job applicants are usually attracted to colleagues having similar assumptions and values.
For 126 consecutive days, a process engineer has measured the temperature of champagne bottles as they are made ready for serving. Each day, she took a sample of 8 bottles. The average across all 1,008 bottles (126 days, 8 bottles per day) was 58 degrees Fahrenheit. The standard deviation across all bottles was 1.5 degree.
When constructing an X-bar chart, what would be the center line?
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

The following facts relate to Oriole Corporation.
1. Deferred tax liability, January 1, 2020, $41,600.
2. Deferred tax asset, January 1, 2020, $0.
3. Taxable income for 2020, $98,800.
4. Pretax financial income for 2020, $104,000.
5. Cumulative temporary difference at December 31, 2020, giving rise to future taxable amounts, $249,600.
6. Cumulative temporary difference at December 31, 2020, giving rise to future deductible amounts, $36,400.
7. Tax rate for all years, 20%.
8. The company is expected to operate profitably in the future.
1. Compute income taxes payable for 2020:
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."
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
Frieda Inc. is considering a capital expansion project. The initial investment of undertaking this project is $105,500. This expansion project will last for five years. The net operating cash flows from the expansion project at the end of year 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are estimated to be $22,500, $25,800, $33,000, $45,936 and $58,500 respectively. Frieda has a capital structure consisting of 20% debt and 80% equity. The after-tax cost of debt is 16% and the cost of equity is 18.5%.
What is Frieda%u2019s weighted average cost of capital?
a. 16%
b. 18%
c. 24%
d. 22%
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%
Paul & Griffon manufactures and markets many products you use every day. In 2016, sales for the company were $86,000 (all amounts in millions). The annual report did not report the amount of credit sales, so we will assume that all sales were on credit. The average gross profit percentage was 49.8 percent. Account balances for the year follow:
Beginning Ending Accounts receivable (net) $ 6,500 $ 6,900 Inventory 7,280 7,300
Required:
1. Compute the Receivables Turnover Ratio and Inventory Turnover Ratio.
2. By dividing 365 by your ratios from requirement 1, calculate the average days to collect receivables and the average days to sell inventory.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The receivables Turnover Ratio and Inventory Turnover Ratio is
receivables Turnover Ratio is
= Net credit sales ÷ average account receivable
= $86,000 ÷ ($6,500 + $6,900) ÷ 2
= $86,000 ÷ $6700
= 12.84 times
Inventory turnover ratio is
= Cost of goods sold ÷ average account receivable
= ($86,000 × (1 - 49.8%) ÷ ($7,280 + $7,300) ÷ 2
= $43,172 ÷ $7,290
= 5.92 times
b. The average days to collect receivables and inventory is
For receivables
= 365 ÷ 12.84 times
= 28.43 days
For inventory
= 365 ÷ 5.92
= 61.66 days
Wexpro, Inc., produces several products from processing 1 ton of clypton, a rare mineral. Material and processing costs total $71,000 per ton, one-fourth of which is allocated to product X15. Six thousand five hundred units of product X15 are produced from each ton of clypton. The units can either be sold at the split-off point for $17 each, or processed further at a total cost of $8,800 and then sold for $22 each. Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing product X15
Answer:
Financial advantage of further processing =$23,700
Explanation:
A company should process a product further 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 .
$
Additional sales revenue from further processing
($22-$17)× 6,500 32,500
Less further processing cost (8,800)
Financial advantage 23,700
Financial advantage of further processing =$23,700
Two years ago, Kimberly became a 30 percent partner in the KST Partnership with a contribution of investment land with a $14,750 basis and a $22,650 fair market value. On January 2 of this year, Kimberly has a $20,700 basis in her partnership interest, and none of her pre-contribution gain has been recognized. On January 2 Kimberly receives an operating distribution of a tract of land (not the contributed land) with a $18,175 basis and an $26,075 fair market value.
a) What is the amount and character of Kimberly’s recognized gain or loss on the distribution?
b) What is Kimberly’s remaining basis in KST after the distribution?
c) What is KST’s basis in the land Kimberly contributed after Kimberly receives this distribution?
Answer: A) $3,425 B)$5,950 C)$18,175
Explanation:
a)Kimberly's capital gain = land's Fair market value -non contributed land's Fair market value = $26,075- $22,650= $3,425
b)Kimberly's basis after the distribution = basis in KST + gain - Carryover basis in land = $20,700 + $3, 425 - $18,175 = $5,950
c) KST's basis on the land =KST land's basis on contribution+ Kimberly's gain = $14,750+$3, 425 = $18,175
Measuring actual performance can be done through:
a.
Assessing the behavior of employee
b.
Assessing the output of employee
c.
Both are correct
d.
Non are correct
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.

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?
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.
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?
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)

PBYI’s current BID-ASK is $59.00 - $60.00. PBYI is going to release their annual report tomorrow; you have special skill in valuing biotech companies, and you believe that PBYI has an expected alpha tomorrow of 2% compared to the market’s current best estimate of fair value. Is the following statement true? PBYI is currently overpriced. True False 1 points QUESTION 8 If you purchased PBYI now then sold it tomorrow right before market close, what is your best estimate for your expected profit after taking transactions cost into account? (in %, rounded to 1 decimal place)
Answer:
PBYI is not over priced
expected profit = $0.18
Explanation:
BID - ASK price : 59.00 - 60.00
expected alpha = 2%
In this scenerio ( positive alpha ) you can buy the PBYI at $60.00
when you buy at $60 the value will increase to ; 60 + ( 2% * 60 ) = $61.2
when you resell the security ( PBYI ) you will get ; ( 61.2 )* (59/60) = $60.18
therefore your expected profit = 60.18 - 60 = $0.18
PBYI is not not currently Overpriced since you can buy and make profit after selling the next day
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
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%

Lily Company sells automatic can openers under a 75-day warranty for defective merchandise. Based on past experience, Lily estimates that 4% of the units sold will become defective during the warranty period. Management estimates that the average cost of replacing or repairing a defective unit is $20. The units sold and units defective that occurred during the last 2 months of 2020 are as follows:
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.
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
(being cash paid is recorded)
(b) The estimated warranty liability is $61,280

Frieling Company installs granite countertops in customers' homes. First, the customer chooses the particular granite slab, and then Frieling measures the countertop area at the customer's home, cuts the granite to that shape, and installs it. The Tramel job calls for direct materials of $1,900 and direct labor of $500. Overhead is applied at the rate of 140 percent of direct labor cost. Unfortunately, one small countertop breaks during installation and Frieling must cut another piece and install it to properly complete the job. The additional rework required direct materials costing $400 and direct labor costing $100. Assume that the spoilage was due to carelessness by a Frieling worker and it is considered to be normal spoilage.
Required:
1. Calculate the cost of the Tramel job.
2. Make any needed journal entry to the overhead control account.
3. What if the additional rework required $200 of direct labor? What would be the effect on the cost of the Tramel job?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. Cost of the Tramel Job
= Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Overhead applied
= $1,900 + $500 + (140% × $500)
= $1,900 + $500 + $700
= $3,100
2. Journal entry to record the overhead cost
Overhead cost account Dr $500
To Material account Cr $400
To Labor account Cr $100
3. Effect of additional rework required $200 of direct labor on the cost of Tramel job
= Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Overhead applied
= $1,900 + ($500 + $200) + (140% × $500)
= $1,900 + $700 + $700
= $3,300
The effect of additional rework required of $200 of direct labor cost is an increase of $200 on the cost of job for Tramel
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
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.

Oriole Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 600 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory 270 $30 $ 8,100 April 15 purchase 440 36 15,840 April 23 purchase 290 39 11,310 1,000 $35,250 Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the FIFO method. Ending inventory $enter a dollar amount Cost of goods sold $enter a dollar amount
Answer:
. Ending inventory = $15,270
cost of goods sold = $19,980
Explanation:
FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold
the cost of goods sold would be determined using the prices of inventories on April 1 and 15
cost of goods sold
270 x $30 = $8100
+
(600 - 270) x $36 = $11,880
cost of goods sold = $19,980
ending inventory would consist of the inventory not sold on April 15 and the inventory bought on April 23
inventory not sold on April 15 = 440 - (600 - 270) = 110
110 x 36 = $3960
+
290 x 39 = 11,310
total = $15,270
The Cork Company has been sent a special order of 6,000 dongles to be shipped at the end of the month at a selling price of $7 each. The company has a production capacity of 90,000 dongles per month with total fixed production costs of $144,000. At present, the company is selling 80,000 dongles per month through regular channels at a selling price of $11 each. For these regular sales, the cost for one dongle is:
Variable Production $4.60
Cost Fixed Production Cost $1.80
Variable Selling Expense $1.00
At what selling price per unit should Cork be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special offer?
a. $7.40.
b. $7.70
c. $6.40
d. $4.90.
e. None of the answers provided is correct.
Answer:
Indifferent special order price=$5.60
Explanation:
To determine whether or not Cork Company should accept the order, we will compare the variable cost of the order to the sales value . If the special order generates a positive contribution margin, then it should be accepted.'
The relevant cash flows to be considered here includes
1. Variable cost of the special order
2. Sales revenue from the special order.
Note that the fixed cost are general unavoidable costs which would be incurred either way. And therefore should not be considered .
variable cos per unit = 4.60 +1.00= 5.60
$
Sales revenue from special order
(7×6,000) 42,000
Variable cost (5.60× 6,000) (33,600)
Net income from special order 8,400
A special order price that will produce a net income of zero is that which will make the Cork Company indifferent. And such price is that which equals to the variable cost of selling
Indifferent special order price = variable cost per unit = $5.60
Indifferent special order price=$5.60
The special offers under the cost accounting are the changes or the events arranged in between the regular business operations. The special offer is launched at lower or higher variable costs. This is done either to attract customers or to clear off the stock.
The correct option is e. None of the answer provided is correct.
The selling price per unit that is indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special offer is $5.60
As per the computation, the special offer should be accepted.
Computations:
The indifferent special order price should include only the variable cost.
[tex]\text{Indifferent price}=\text{Variable Production cost}+\text{Variable selling expense}\\\\=\$4.60+\$1.00\\\\=\$5.60[/tex]
Computation of net income from a special offer:
[tex]\text{Net Income}=\text{Sales revenue}-\text{Variable cost}\\\\=(\$7\times6,000)-(\$5.60\times6,000)\\\\=\$442,000-\$33,600\\\\=\$8,400[/tex]
For taking the decision of accepting or rejecting the special offer:
variable costs of existing and special offers are compared.The variable cost and the selling price must be equal for generating a net income of zero.The positive contribution margin indicates acceptance of the special offer.To know more about cost accounting, refer to the link:

Citibank need to borrow $1 million for 6 months starting in 2 years. Citibank is concerned about the interest rate would like to lock in the interest rate it pays by going long an FRA with Bank of America. The FRA specifies that Citibank will borrow at a fixed rate of 0.04 for 6 months on $1 million in 2 years. If the 6 months LIBOR rate proves to be 0.01. Then to settle the FRA, what is the cash flow to Citibank at the end of 2 years
Answer:
"$ 15,000" is the correct solution.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Agreed fixed rate,
= 0.04
LIBOR rate,
= 0.01
No. of borrowing months,
= 6
National amount,
= 1000000
Now,
The net payment will be:
= [tex]National \ principal*(Floating \ rate - Fixed \ rate)\times \frac{No. \ of \ months}{12}[/tex]
On substituting the above values, we get
= [tex]1000000\times (0.01-0.4)\times \frac{6}{12}[/tex]
= [tex]1000000\times (-0.03)\times 0.5[/tex]
= [tex]-15,000[/tex] ($)
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
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
