Answer:
Project B has a much lower estimated business value along with a low probability of failure.
Explanation:
In order to do only one type of project that has the same business values. I would choose a project that has a low probability of failure. Though it has a low value but in the long run will lead to economic profit and shareholders value. For selection, we need to find out the benefits gained by the project.If a person could choose only one project he must select Project B as it has a much lower estimated business value along with a low probability of failure.
What are the selection criteria for the project?Project B would be a better option to choose as it is giving less risk to business as compared to Project B in terms of failure. However, the value of Project B is less but it has the potential to generate economic profits in the long run.
Therefore, by evaluating the cost and benefit from two projects shareholder's interest would be intact more through Project B.

Answer:
(a) The amount needed is $192,000.
(b) The monthly payment is $150.98.
Explanation:
Note: There are errors in this question. The correct question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.
This can be calculated using the following future value formula:
FV = P / i ........................... (1)
Where;
FV = Amount needed at maturity = ?
P = Monthly payment or amount to generate monthly = $1,200
i = monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 7.25% / 12 = 0.075 / 12 = 0.00625
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $1,200 / 0.00625 = $192,000
Therefore, the amount needed is $192,000.
(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.
This can be calculated using the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)
Where,
FV = Future value = $192,000
M = Monthly payment = ?
r = Monthly interest rate = 9.75% / 12 = 0.0975 / 12 = 0.008125
n = number of months = 25 years * Number of months in a year = 25 * 12 = 300
Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for M, we have:
$192,000 = M * (((1 + 0.008125)^300 - 1) / 0.008125)
$192,000 = M * 1271.65920375075
M = $192,000 / 1271.65920375075
M = $150.98
Therefore, the monthly payment is $150.98.
Melissa is an unmarried person who earns a salary of $54,000 per year and has $500 of interest income. Her itemized deductions total $2,500. She is able to use a non-refundable credit of $400. She has $5,000 of federal income taxes withheld from her wages. What is the amount of Melissa's REFUND OR TAX DUE FOR 2020
Answer:
$6150
Explanation:
These are the details of Melissa's income
Salary = $54000
Interest income = 500
Itemized deductions = $ 2500
Non refundable credit = $400
Withheld federal income tax = $5000
We have to calculate the amount of her tax return for year 2020
Taxable income = 54000+500-2500
= $52500
Tax rate 22%
Tax on taxable income = 52500x0.22
= 11550
Minus non refundable credit = 11550-400
Minus federal tax withheld = 11550-400-5000
= $6150

The company will record the purchase as a debit to the inventory account and a credit to the ________ account.
Answer:
Vendor's account/ accounts payable

Merchandise is an asset to the company. An increase in assets is debited to that particular merchandise or inventory account.
Since the merchandise was bought on credit, liabilities will increase. An increase in liabilities is credited to the specific vendor's account who supplied the goods on credit.
Lincoln Company purchased merchandise from Grandville Corp. on September 30, 2021. Payment was made in the form of a noninterest-bearing note requiring Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400 on each September 30, beginning on September 30, 2024. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.) Required: Calculate the amount at which Lincoln should record the note payable and corresponding purchases on September 30, 2021, assuming that an interest rate of 9% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.
Answer: $16,613
Explanation:
As the noninterest-bearing note required Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400, this is an annuity because it is a constant figure.
The amount that should be recorded is the present value of this amount.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -no. of periods) / rate
= 4,400 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9%)⁻⁶) / 9%
= $19,738
This present value is for September 30, 2023. It needs to be discounted further to September 30, 2021.
= 19,738 / (1 + 9%)²
= $16,613

A company purchased $10,700 of merchandise on June 15 with terms of 2/10, n/45, and FOB shipping point. The freight charge, $850, was added to the invoice amount. On June 20, it returned $1360 of that merchandise. On June 24, it paid the balance owed for the merchandise taking any discount it is entitled to. The cash paid on June 24 equals:______
a. $10,003.
b. $9,224.
c. $11,550.
d. $11,210.
e. $11,11Ο.
Answer:
a. $10,003.
Explanation:
The terms of 2/10, n/45 means that there is a 2% discount if the payment is made within 10 days of the sales date and rhe net credit period is 45 days.
Calculate total invoice value
Total Invoice value = Merchandise value + Freight Charges = $10,700 + $850 = $11,550
As the payment is made on June 24 within the discount period, the discount will be availed
Discount = ( Purchases made - Returns ) x 2% = ( $10,700 - $1,360 ) x 2% = $186.80 = $187
Now the Amount paid
Amount Paid = Invoice value - Return - Discount avaialed = $11,550 - $1360 - 187 = $10,003
B) Suppose that regular raises at your job allow you to increase your annual payment by 5% each year. For simplicity, assume this is a nominal rate, and your payment amount increases continuously. How long will it take to pay off the mortgage
Answer:
Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years
Explanation:
Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. But I have found that necessary data on the internet, which I have written down and solved the question accordingly.
Data Missing:
Buying Cost of House = $320000
Interest rate = 7%
Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8
Now, we are required to calculate the time period required to pay off the mortgage.
Solution:
Data Given:
Increase in annual payment percentage = 5%
So,
Formula:
P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex] + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]
Where,
P = Buying Cost of House = $320000
i = interest rate = 7% = 0.07
A = Increase in annual payment percentage = 5% = 0.05
C = Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8
P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex] + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]
In this formula, we have all the required things expect the value of n, which we have to calculate.
n = Time period required to pay the mortgage.
So,
$320000 = 25525.8 [tex]e^{0.05 - 0.07}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{2(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{3(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + ..... + 25525.8 [tex]e^{n(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex]
Taking 25525.8 common,
320000 = 25525.8 ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )
320000/25525.8 = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )
12.536 = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )
Taking e common:
12.536 = [tex]e^{-0.02 -0.04 - 0.06 + .... -0.02n}[/tex]
Taking Ln to solve for n, we get:
n = 17.89
n ≈ 18
n = 18 years
Hence, Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years
Mohawk Machining, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,400 Units started and completed during the period: 6,500 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
A- 80%.
B- 70%.
C- 60%. - 40%.
D- some other percentage not listed above.
Answer:
C. 60%
Explanation:
Equivalent unit of Materials = 8,000.00
Equivalent unit of Conversion = 7,400.00
Units started and completed = 6,500.00
Since Materials are entered in the beginning it means that out of 8000 Units of Materials 6500 units are in Units started and completed and remaining 1500 Units are in Closing inventory. It also means that 1500 units are in Closing Inventory of Conversion and Equivalent production of conversion part of 1500 Units are 900 Units (7400-6500).
Let % Completion be x
X% of 1500 = 900
X = 900*100/1500
X = 60%.
A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who together produced an average of 100 carts per hour. Workers receive $11 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $12 per hour, while output increased by 4 carts per hour. a. Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure of labor productivity. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
A. Labor productivity before=16 cart per workers-hour
Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour
B. Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour
Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour
Explanation:
A. Computation of labor productivity under each system
Labor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/6 workers
Labor productivity Before=16 cart per workers-hour
Labor productivity After=(100 carts per hour+4 carts per hour)/4 workers
Labor productivity After=(104carts per hour /4 workers
Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour
B. Computation of the multifactor productivity under each system.
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/(6 workers*$11 per hour)+$40 per hour
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/($66 per hour+$40 per hour)
Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/$106 per hour
Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour
Multifactor productivity before=(100carts per hour + 4carts per hour)/(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /($66 per hour+$52 per hour)
Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /118per hour
Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

3. You are considering investing in a startup company called Minions Technologies. After careful analysis, you determine that Minions will be able to generate $100,000 in cash flow at the end of each year for the first 5 years. Then, Minions will generate cash flow of $400,000 at the end of the 6th year, after which it will grow at 11% per year forever. Using a discount rate of 18%, what is the amount you would be willing to invest
Answer:
$2,810,467
Explanation:
we need to determine the enterprise value of Minions Technologies
first, the terminal value at year 5 = $400,000 / (18% - 11%) = $5,714,286
then we must find the present value of all future cash flows, including the terminal value
PV of 5 five cash flows = $100,000 x 3.127 (PV annuity factor, 18%, 5 periods) = $312,700
PV of terminal value = $5,714,286 / 1.18⁵ = $2,497,767
total enterprise value = $2,810,467
Marcus was offered a job as a senior manager by Super Corp. The offer, which was made over the phone, was for a three-year contract for $120,000 salary per year. Marcus orally accepted, there was no writing. The state in which Marcus was offered the job requires that such contracts be in writing. Marcus quit his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and headed to the state where Super Corp was headquartered. When he arrived, the director at Super Corp who had originally offered him the job said that they were revoking and that there was no contract, as Marcus never signed an employment agreement. If Marcus sues Super Corp, what is the likely result
,Answer:
-Marcus is owed something by Super Corp because he relied reasonably and to his detriment on Super Corp's offer.
Explanation:
Employment contracts can be written, oral, or implied and each of these are binding to some extent.
In the given instance it is required that employment should be written in the state where Super Corp operates.
So Marcus will not be able to compel them to give him a job as the offer was made and accepted orally.
However the offer resulted in him quitting his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and heading to the state where Super Corp was headquartered.
He relied on the offer to his detriment of losing his current job, so Super Corp owes him for the damages incurred
Adriana and Belen are partners who share income in the ratio of 3:2 and have capital balances of $50,000 and $90,000 at the time they decide to terminate the partnership. After all noncash assets are sold and all liabilities are paid, there is a cash balance of $90,000. How much cash should be distributed to Adriana
Answer:
$54,000
Explanation:
First, we add the ratios together to determine the total parts:
3+2= 5
Next, we divide the cash balance of $90,000 by the total parts:
$90,000/5 = $18,000
To find the amount of cash distributed to Adriana we multiply by her ratio:
5*18,000 = $54,000.

Beth, an employer, wants to hire someone for a strenuous job that requires a great deal of training, which will take place over the course of several years. The applicant who appears most qualified is 58 years old; however, Beth is concerned that the applicant will not be able to handle the physical demands of the position in the long run. Further, she is concerned that the applicant will only continue working for several more years before she retires. Does Beth hire the applicant anyway
Answer:
Beth should not hire the applicant.
Explanation:
Based on common hiring practices, Beth should not hire the applicant. Mainly due to the applicant's age. It costs a company a large amount of money to properly train an employee in order to have them be as efficient as possible when working for the company. This is regardless of their current experience, therefore if a candidate is as old as this particular candidate and is already thinking of retiring then it will be a waste of company resources to hire the individual candidate. Instead, Beth should go for someone with the same experience/skills but will instead be with the company for the long term.
A firm with a net income of $30,000 and weighted average actual shares outstanding of 15,000 for the year also had the following two securities outstanding the entire year: (1) 2,000 options to purchase one share of stock for $12 per share. The average share price during the year was $20, (2) cumulative convertible preferred stock with an annual dividend commitment of $4,500. Total common shares issued on conversion are 2,900. Compute diluted EPS for this firm.
Answer:
$1.68
Explanation:
Diluted EPS = Earnings Attributable to Potential Ordinary Shareholders ÷ Weighted Average Number Ordinary Shareholders plus Potential Voting Rights
where,
Earnings Attributable to Potential Ordinary Shareholders = $30,000
and
Weighted Average Number Ordinary Shareholders plus Potential Voting Rights
Weighted average actual shares outstanding = 15,000
Plus Potential voting rights of 2,000 options = 1
Plus Potential voting right of preferred stock = 2,900
Total = 17,901
therefore,
Diluted EPS = $30,000 ÷ 17,901
= $1.68

You have decided to invest $15,000 in a money market fund that pays you interest at the annual rate of 6% and compounds interests monthly. Your plan is to take out your money in a year and pay taxes on the interest earned. If the corresponding tax rate is 20%, how much money in total will you expect to receive in a year after paying taxes.
Answer:
$15,869.66
Explanation:
The formula for determining the future value of the amount invested is :
FV = PV x (1 + r / m)^mn
FV = Future value
PV = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
m = number of compounding
$15,000 x (1+ 0.06/12)^12 = $15,925.17
Interest earned = future value - present value
$15,925.17 - $15,000 = $925.17
Tax paid on interest earned = 0.06 x $925.17 = $55.51
Interest after taxes = $925.17 - $55.51 = $869.66
Total amount expected = $15,000 + $869.66 = $15,869.66
Kilt Company used a predetermined overhead rate of $41 per direct labor hour for the year and estimated that direct labor hours would total 6,100 hours. Assume the only inventory balance is an ending Work in Process balance of $17,700. How much overhead was applied during the year
Answer:
$205,000
Explanation:
The above is an incomplete question as we were not given actual direct labor hours. From a similar question, I picked 5,000 as the direct labor hours .
With regards to the above information, applied overhead is computed as;
Applied overhead = Overhead rate × Actual direct labor hour
Given that;
Overhead rate = $41
Actual direct labor hour = 5,000
Therefore,
Applied overhead = $41 × 5,000 = $205,000

monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{15750\times 0.02\times (1+0.02)^{30}}{(1+0.02)^{30}-1}[/tex]
solve it we get
monthly payment. = $703.24 per month
Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company by selling the company to the government.
True
False
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.
Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.
Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of trademarks, copyright and patents.
In this scenario, Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company.
Since Gidgit is patented it cannot be sold to the government because it is a registered intellectual property that cannot be used or sold without the approval or consent of the owner.
Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning of 2018. The inventory as reported at the end of 2017 using LIFO would have been $70,000 higher using FIFO. Retained earnings at the end of 2017 was reported as $880,000 (reflecting the LIFO method). The tax rate is 34%.
Required:
1. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2013) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.
2. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2013 to record the change in accounting principle. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
Answer:
1. Adjusted net income = Ending inventory higher by amount * (1-Tax rate) = $70,000*(1-34%) = $70,000 * 66% = $46,200
Details Amount
Beginning retained earnings for the year 2017 $880,000
Add: Adjusted net income $46,200
Beginning adjusted retained earnings for year 2017 $926,200
2. Tax payable = Inventory * Tax rate = $70,000*34% = $23,800
Date Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit
Inventory $70,000
Retained earnings $46,200
Tax payable $23,800
(To record adjustment of ending inventory)
Suppose the demand function for good X is given by: where is the quantity demanded of good X, is the price of good X, and is the price of good Y, which is related to good X. Using the midpoint method, if the price of good X is constant at $10 and the price of good Y decreases from $10 to $8, the cross price elasticity of demand is about:_________
Answer:
Quantity demanded is -0.4
Explanation:
Quantity demanded is -0.4 if the prices decline from $8 to $10. The cross price elasticity is the change in quantity demanded for the goods when the price of other goods changes. The price change can be minor and the quantity demanded change can be high.
Suppose that a task in a project has the following time estimates: to optimistic completion time 11 weeks tm most likely completion time 14 weeks tp pessimistic completion time 23 weeks Compute the expected task variance. The task expected task variance is weeks. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer:
6 weeks
Explanation:
Optimistic Completion Time - 11 weeks
Most likely completion time - 14 weeks
Pessimistic completion time - 23 weeks
Compute the expected task variance in weeks. Recall that Variance is a measure of dispersion - a measure that shows the distance or spread between or among values of a variable.
Expected Variance is the average of the variance values.
First,
the variance between optimistic CT and most likely CT is (14 - 11) = 3 weeks
Second,
the variance between pessimistic CT and most likely CT is (23 - 14) = 9 weeks
The expected variance is the average of these two values and that's (3 + 9)/2 = 12/2 = 6 weeks
So the expected variance from the mean completion time of 14 weeks is 6 weeks before or 6 weeks after. This accommodates both the optimist and the pessimist.

The feel and touch of the products are called the endowment effect.
What is an endowment effect?An endowment effect is an effect that is associated with behavioral economics and the effect is that people find more likely to retain an object they own rather than acquire the object that they don't own.
The company named P and G published that clients were able to feel merchandised were willing to pay more than those who had not.
