a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
This statement is correct, as global institutions were created with the objective of regulating global business from international treaties, which implemented a set of rules and regulations that must be followed by all organizations in a global market, as a form of protection to organizations, society and the environment, such as legislative and economic changes, crises and possible negative impacts inherent to organizations in a global business system.
Equipment acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $30,800 has an estimated residual value of $2,800 and an estimated useful life of four years. Determine the following: (a) The depreciable cost $fill in the blank 1 (b) The straight-line rate fill in the blank 2 % (c) The annual straight-line depreciation $fill in the blank 3
Answer:
$28000
25%
$7000
Explanation:
Depreciable cost = cost of the asset - residual value
$30,800 - $2800 = $28,000
The straight-line rate = annual depreciation expense / Depreciable cost
7000 / 28,000 x 100 = 25%
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
$28,000 / 4 = $7000
The Widget Co. can produce widgets according to the formula: q = 5K^3/4 L^1/4 where q is the output of widgets, and K, L are the quantities of capital and labor used.
a. Are there constant, increasing or decreasing returns to scale in widget production? Explain.
b. Are there, constant, increasing or decreasing marginal products of factors? Explain
c. In the short run, the amount of capital used by company A. is fixed. Derive the short-run cost function. (Note that the short-run cost function will show C as a function of Q, K and the factor prices w and r.)
d. Derive the long-run cost function.
Answer:
A) Constant Return to Scale
B) Decreasing Marginal Products
C) Short Run Cost Function = w*(Q/5)4 *(1/K`3) + rK`
D) (2Q/5)*(r3/4)*(w1/4)
Explanation:
A) Q(tL,tK) = 5*(tK)3/4*(tL)1/4
= t*Q(L,K)
Hence it exhibits constant return to scale
B) Here MPK = dQ/dK
= (3/4)* 5*L1/4*K-1/4
So dMPK/dK = (-3/16)*5*L1/4*K-5/4
Hence dMPK/dK < 0
thus exhibits decreasing Marginal Products
(Similarly for Labor also)
C) let K is fixed at K`
So Q = 5*K`3/4*L1/4
So L = (Q/5)4*(1/K`3)
So Short Run Cost Function = w*L + r*K`
C = w*(Q/5)4 *(1/K`3) + rK`
D) in long run, MRTS = MPL / MPK = w/r
So K/L = w/r
Thus rK = wL
So from production function
Q = 5*(wL/r)3/4*L1/4
= 5*(w/r)3/4*L
L* = (Q/5)*(r/w)3/4
similarly K* = (Q/5)*(w/r)1/4
so Long Run Cost Function = wL* + rK*
= (2Q/5)*(r3/4)*(w1/4)

One of the primary products, Model ZX40, has a standard labor time of 0.5 hour and a standard labor rate of $12.50 per hour. During February, the following activities pertaining to direct labor for ZX40 were recorded:
Direct labor hours used 2,230
Direct labor cost $34,000
Units of ZX40 manufactured 4,800
Required:
a. Determine the labor rate variance.
b. Determine the labor efficiency variance.
c. Determine the total flexible budget labor cost variance.
Answer:
A = $6,125
B = $2,125
C = $6,125
Explanation:
Standard Labor Time = 0.5 hours, Standard Labor rate = $12.50 per hour, Standard Time = 4800 * 0.5hour P U = 2400 hours
Actual labor time used = 2,230, Direct labor Cost = $34,000 per hour =$15.25 , Units manufactured = 4,800
(a) Labor Rate Variance = Actual Cost - standard cost of Actual Hours = $34,000 - ($12.50 * 2230) = $34,000 - $27,875 = $6,125 Favorable
(b) Labor Efficiency Variance = Standard Cost of Actual Hours - Standard Cost = (2,230 * 12.50) - (12.50 * 2400) = $27,875 - $30,000 = $2,125 Unfavorable
(c) Flexible budget labor cost variance = Flexible Budget cost - Actual Cost = (Actual qty * Std Rate) - (Actual qty - Actual Rate) = (2,230 * $12.50) - $34,000 = $27,875 - $34,000 = $6,125 Unfavorable

Explanation:
First Class, Inc., expects to sell 28,000 pool cues for $14 each. Direct materials costs are $3, direct manufacturing labor is $5, and manufacturing overhead is $0.82 per pool cue. The following inventory levels apply to 2019: Beginning inventory Ending inventory Direct materials 26,000 units 26,000 units Work-in-process inventory units O units Finished goods inventory 1,300 units 2,800 units
How many pool cues need to be produced in 2019?
Select one:
a. 29,500 cues
b. 30,800 cues
c. 29,300 cues
d. 26,500 cues
Answer:
a. 29,500 cues
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many pool cues need to be produced in 2019
Using this formula
Pool cues needed =Budgeted sales +Budgeted ending inventory-Beginning inventory
Let plug in the formula
Pool cues needed=28,000 units + 2,800- 1,300 Pool cues needed= 29,500 cues
Therefore pool cues need to be produced in 2019 is 29,500 cues
Crane Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,290,700 and retained earnings of $4,708,100 at December 31, 2020. Crane later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $116,750 and $32,910, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings.
Answer:
Adjusted Cost of Goods sold = $1,206,860Adjusted Retained Earnings = $4,675,190Explanation:
An overstated opening inventory would overstate Cost of Goods sold. The overstatement should therefore be removed from the Cost of goods sold.
An overstated closing inventory would understate Cost of Goods sold. The overstatement should therefore be added to the Cost of Goods sold.
Adjusted Cost of Goods sold 2020 = Cost of Goods sold + 2020 ending inventory - 2019 opening inventory
= 1,290,700 + 32,910 - 116,750
= $1,206,860
Adjusted Retained earnings
The retained earnings would have to be adjusted for the overstatement of the current inventory by $32,910 because this understated Cost of Goods sold.
= Retained earnings - Overstatement of inventory
= 4,708,100 - 32,910
= $4,675,190

Required:
a. Calculate the total current assets at December 31, 2019.
b. Calculate the total liabilities and owners’ equity at December 31, 2019.
c. Calculate the earnings from operations (operating income) for the year ended December 31, 2019.
d. Calculate the net income (or loss) for the year ended December 31, 2019.
e. What was the average income tax rate for Pope’s Garage for 2019?
f. If $16,000 of dividends had been declared and paid during the year, what was the January 1, 2019, balance of retained earnings?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of the total current asset is shown below
= Account receivable + cash + supplies + merchandise inventory
= $33,000 + $9,000 + $6,000 + $31,000
= $79,000
b The total liabilities and owners equity is
= Account payable + long term debt + common stock + retained earnings
= $23,000 + $40,000 + $10,000 + $59,000
= $132,000
c. The earnings from operations is
Sales revenue $140,000
Less cost of goods sold $90,000
Gross profit $50,000
add: service revenue $20,000
Less depreciation expense $12,000
Less supplies expense $14,000
Operating income $44,000
d. The net income is
= operating income - interest expense - income tax expense
= $44,000 - $4,000 - $12,000
= $28,000
e. The average income tax rate is
= $12,000 ÷ $40,000 × 100
= 30%
f. The beginning retained earnings is
= $59,000 + $16,000 - $28,000
= $47,000
The Anson Jackson Court (AJC) currently has $150,000 market value (and book value) of perpetual debt outstanding carrying a coupon rate of 6%. Its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are $89,000, and it is a zero growth company. AJC's current cost of equity is 10%, and its tax rate is 25%. The firm has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding selling at a price per share of $60.00. Refer to the data for Anson Jackson Court (AJC). AJC is considering moving to a capital structure that is comprised of 25% debt and 75% equity, based on market values. The new funds would be used to replace the old debt and to repurchase stock. It is estimated that the increase in risk resulting from the additional leverage would cause the required rate of return on debt to rise to 6.56%, while the required rate of return on equity would rise to 10.07%. If this plan were carried out, what would be AJC's new WACC and total value

A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,500,000 and can be sold for $715,000 at the end of the project. The asset is in the 5-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 20.00 percent, 32.00 percent, 19.20 percent, 11.52 percent, and 11.52 percent, respectively. The company's tax rate is 34 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?
Hint: 1. Find the remaining book value at the end. 2. Subtract this from the expected sale price to find the gain on sale. 3. Apply the tax rate to this gain to find the taxes owed. 4. The after-tax salvage value is the sale price minus the taxes.
a) $715,000.
b) $752,468.
c) $540,444.
d) $677,532.
e) $471,900.
Answer:
d) $677,532.
Explanation:
1.
Written down value of the equipment after 4 years = Cost x ( 100% - 1st year MACRS - Second-year MACRS - Third-year MACRS - Fourth-year MACRS ) = $3,500,000 x ( 100% - 20% - 32% - 19.20% - 11.52% ) = $604,800
2.
Now calculate the gain on the sale of equipment
Gain on the sale of equipment = Sale Price - Written down Value after 4 years = $715,000 - $604,800 = $110,200
3.
Tax owed = Gain on the sale x Tax rate = $110,200 x 34% = $37,468
After-tax salvage value = Sales price - Tax = $715,000 - $37,468 = $677,532
If a court determines that a manager's corporate decision amounted to self-dealing, a. the manager is automatically personally liable to the corporation. b. the transaction being challenged will be automatically voided. c. the manager will automatically be fired. d. the business judgment rule will not apply.
Answer:
d. the business judgment rule will not apply.
Explanation:
A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.
One of the advantage of a corporation is that, owners have limited liability for debt to the extent to which they have invested and as such are not personally liable for some of debt owed by corporation.
A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of providing guidance, support, supervision, administrative control, as well as acting as a role model or example to the employees working in an organization by being morally upright.
Generally, managers are typically involved in taking up leadership roles and as such are expected to be build a strong relationship between their employees or subordinates by creating a fair ground for effective communication and sharing of resources and information. Also, they are required to engage their staff members (entire workforce) in the most efficient and effective manner.
In Business management, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a manager's corporate decision amounted to self-dealing i.e putting his or her own interests first, the business judgment rule will not apply.
Generally, in order for the business judgement rule to apply, it is expected or required that a manager should act in the best interest of a corporation.
The contribution margin ratio is 25% for Grain Company and the break-even point in sales is $200,000. To obtain a target net operating income of $60,000, sales would have to be:_____.
A. $260,000.
B. $440,000.
C. $280,000.
D. $240,000.
Answer:
Option B. 440000
Explanation:
Given the contribution margin = 25%
Sales at break-even point = $200000
Net operating income = $60000
Sales at break even point = TFC / contribution margin ratio
200000 = TFC / 25%
TFC = 50000
Now find the net income:
Net income = Contribution margin - Fixed cost
60000 = Contribution margin - 50000
Contribution margin =60000 + 50000 = 110000
Sales revenue = Contribution margin / contribution ratio
Sales revenue = 110000 / 0.25 = 440000

Because poor people are likely to have adequate healthcare, guaranteeing everyone in society the best healthcare would likely equality. Paying laid-off workers unemployment benefits until they find a new job will likely efficiency because this would their effort searching for a job. Which of the following provides an explanation for your answers regarding efficiency?
a. People will work more hours than is optimal.
b. There will likely be insufficient job openings.
c. Too many workers will want to become medical doctors.
d. People may over consume healthcare and reduce their effort when searching for a job
Answer:
1. Because poor people are less likely to have adequate healthcare, guaranteeing everyone in society the best healthcare would likely increase equality.
2. Paying laid-off workers unemployment benefits until they find a new job will likely increase equality and decrease efficiency.
3. d. People may over consume healthcare and reduce their effort when searching for a job
Even though guaranteeing the poor adequate healthcare will work to increase equality, it will lead to a situation where healthcare might be overconsumed as too many people will be going to seek medical services because they can now afford it.
If people get unemployment benefits, their immediate needs will be taken care of and they will probably see less of a need to go out and search for a job as a result.
XYZ Tile Installation Corporation measures its activity in terms of square feet of tile installed. Last month, the budgeted level of activity was 1,180 square feet and the actual level of activity was 1,270 square feet. The company's owner budgets for supply costs, a variable cost, at $3.50 per square foot. The actual supply cost last month was $4,980. What would have been the spending variance for supply costs
Answer:
The appropriate solution is "$535 U". A further explanation is described below.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Actual level of activity,
= 1270
Budgeted variable cost,
= $3.50
Actual supply cost,
= $4980
Now,
The spending variance for supply costs will be:
= [tex](Actual \ level \ of \ activity\times Budgeted \ variable \ cost)\times Actual \ supply \ cost[/tex]
= [tex](1270\times 3.50)-4980[/tex]
= [tex]4445-4980[/tex]
= [tex]535[/tex] (unfavorable)
Mike is planning to invest his savings in a savings account. He manages to deposit $1,000 at the end of the first year, $700 at the end of the second year, $1,500 at the end of the third year, and $600 at the end of the fourth year. If the account earns 7 percent interest each year, what is the terminal value of this uneven cash flow stream? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
$ 4,231.47
Explanation:
By terminal value, it means the value of savings deposit at the end of the fourth year bearing in mind the first deposit made at the end of year 1 would only earn interest in years 2,3 and 4 , the second deposit would interest in years 3 and 4 since it was made at the end of year 2 and so on .
Future value of deposits=deposit*(1+annual interest rate)^n
n is the number of years that the each deposit would earn interest
terminal value=$1,000*(1+7%)^3+$700*(1+7%)^2+$1500*(1+7%)^1+$600*(1+7%)^0
terminal value=$ 4,231.47
