Answer:
Task identity.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Victoria runs a flower shop and recently made some changes so that one employee answers phones and completes the order and payment process, while another creates arrangements, and a third packages and delivers floral arrangements. Previously, each employee was responsible for the order from the phone call through the delivery. Therefore, Victoria has made changes to task identity.
Task identity can be defined as the overall extent to which each employee does a job completely, typically from the start point (beginning) to finish point (end). In this context, the start point or beginning of the job is the "phone call" while the finish point or end of the job is to deliver the product to the rightful consumer.
Hence, task identity mainly involves starting a job from the beginning to the end with visible outcomes for all to see or acknowledge.

The manager of a bulk foods establishment sells a trail mix for $5 per pound and premium cashews for $15 per pound. The manager wishes to make a 75-pound mixture of both that will sell for $13 per pound. How many pounds of each should be used
Answer:
15 pounds of trail mix60 pounds of premium cashewsExplanation;
75 pounds of the mixture should be made so assuming the trail mix is x and the premium cashew is y, the following expression is formed;
x + y = 75
The selling price per pound is $13 so in total, sales should be;
= 75 * 13
= $975
5x + 15y = 975
Substitution can then be used;
x + y = 75
y = 75 - x
Then;
5x + 15y = 975
5x + 15 ( 75 - x ) = 975
5x + 1,125 - 15x = 975
-10x = -150
x = 15
y = 75 - 15
= 60
15 pounds of trail mix
60 pounds of premium cashews
Iggie took a university teaching job as an assistant professor in 1980 at a salary of $15,000. By 2011, she had been promoted to full professor, with a salary of $70,000. If the price index was 82 in 1980 and 225 in 2011, then what is Iggie's 2011 salary in 1980 dollars
Answer:
$25,511.11
Explanation:
Iggie's salary in 1980 dollars = (salary / 2011 price index) x 1980 price index = ($70,000 / 225) x 82 = $25,511.11
The price index shows us how much the value of money has changed over time. In this case, $82 in 1980 could purchase X goods. In 2011, you would need $225 in order to be able to purchase the same amount of X goods.
All of the following are important emergency management planning principles EXCEPT FOR: A. Planning must be community based, representing the whole population and its needs. B. Planning is fundamentally a process to manage risk. C. Planning should be flexible enough to address both traditional and catastrophic incidents. D. Planning results in unique plans for every type of threat or hazard.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
A. Planning must be community based, representing the whole population and its needs.
Explanation:
In any given situation, there maybe need to manage and mitigate the threat, hazards caused by an individual. This mitigation would be done through planning in-order to over come it. And, also, the planning could be individual based or group based (Community type of planning).
Answer:
D. Planning results in unique plans for every type of threat or hazard.
Explanation:
Emergency Management Plans are those measures developed ahead of time to handle emergencies. These plans are developed to handle activities that are prone to risks. Examples include natural disasters and cybercrimes. When making these plans, care should be taken to ensure that they embrace a 'whole-of-community' approach. This entails a careful analysis of the different categories of people that can be affected by these disasters as well as the specific locations where they can occur in the community. The methods developed should also be flexible enough to handle both local crises as well as very severe crisis.
It is important to note that unique plans cannot be developed for every type of hazard, rather common capabilities should be identified which can be applied to all hazards.

Shaw Company engages Maya Company to produce a large machine, install the machine, and train their employees on the machine. The machine, installation, and training are distinct, and Maya determines that the contract includes three separate performance obligations. The machine, installation, and training typically cost $800,000, $100,000, and $100,000 respectively when each is provided in a separate contract. Shaw and Maya agree to a total contract price of $920,000. How much of the contract price should Maya allocate to the machine, installation, and training, respectively?
Answer:
Explanation:
Cost
Machine - 800,000
Installation - 100,000
Training - 100,000
Total cost - 1,000,000
Contract price - 920,000
Using ratio to allocate the prices , we have
a)Machine price = cost of machine / total cost * total contract price
800,000/1,000,000*920,000 = 736,000
b) Installation price =cost of installation / total cost * total contract price
100,000/1,000,000*920,000 = 92,000
c) Training price = cost of training / total cost * total contra t price
100/1,000,000 * 920,000 = 92,000
736,000+92,000+92,000= =920,000

Company A has a patent with a book value of $500,000. At December 31, 2019, the fair value of the patent is determined to be $450,000. The expected future cash flows associated with the patent is $650,000. What amount of impairment should Company A record on this patent at 12/31/19?
Answer:
$50,000
Explanation:
A patent should be recorded at fair market value. When the book value of a patent is higher than its market value, then its book value should decrease. This decrease in the book value is called impairment.
In this case, the patent's book value is $500,000, but its market value is $450,000. The impairment loss = $500,000 - $450,000 = $50,000.

Starling Co. is considering disposing of a machine with a book value of $12,500 and estimated remaining life of five years. The old machine can be sold for $1,500. A new high-speed machine can be purchased at a cost of $25,000. It will have a useful life of five years and no residual value. It is estimated that the annual variable manufacturing costs will be reduced from $26,000 to $23,500 if the new machine is purchased. The five-year differential effect on profit from replacing the machine is a(n)
Answer: increase of $11,000
Explanation:
Based on the information that have been provided in the question, the five-year differential effect on profit from replacing the machine will be:
= $25000 - [5 × ($26,000 - $23,500)] - $1500
= $25,000 - (5 × $2500) - $1500
= $25,000 - $12,500 - $1,500
= $25,000 - $14,000
= $11,000
Therefore, there will be an increase of $11,000.

Complete Question:
Pisa, Inc. leased equipment from Tower Company under a four-year lease requiring equal annual payments of $344,152, with the first payment due at lease inception. The lease does not transfer ownership, nor is there a bargain purchase option. The equipment has a 4-year useful life and no salvage value. Pisa, Inc.’s incremental borrowing rate is 10% and the rate implicit in the lease (which is known by Pisa, Inc.) is 8%. Pisa, Inc. uses the straight-line method to amortize similar assets. What is the amount of amortization expense recorded by Pisa, Inc. in the first year of the asset’s life?
PV Annuity Due PV Ordinary Annuity
8%, 4 periods 3.57710 3.31213
10%, 4 periods 3.48685 3.16986
a. $0 because the asset is amortized by Tower Company.
b. $284,968
c. $307,767
d. $300,000
Answer:
$307,767
Explanation:
We have to calculate the annuity value to estimate the value of the right to use and this is given as under:
Right to Use Value = Equal Annual Payments * (PV of Annuity due at 8%)
Here
Equivalent Annual Payment is $344,152
PV of Annuity due at 8% is 3.57710
By putting values, we have:
Right to Use Value = $344,152 * 3.57710 = $1,231,066
Now we will find amount of amortization expense recorded for first year:
Per year Amortization = $1,231,066 / 4 Years = $307,767
On January 2, 20X5, Lem Corp. bought machinery under a contract that required a down payment of $10,000, plus twenty-four monthly payments of $5,000 each, for total cash payments of $130,000. The cash equivalent price of the machinery was $110,000. The machinery has an estimated useful life of ten years and estimated salvage value of $5,000. Lem uses straight-line depreciation. In its 20X5 income statement, what amount should Lem report as depreciation for this machinery
Answer:
$10,500 per year
Explanation:
The computation of depreciation under SLM is shown below:-
Depreciation under Straight line method = (cash equivalent price of the machinery - Estimated salvage value) ÷ Useful life
= ($110,000 - $5,000) ÷ 10 years
= $10,500 per year
Therefore for computing the depreciation under straight line method we simply applied the above formula.

Gilbert & Sons is a leveraged firm. It has 300,000 shares of stock outstanding with a market price of $32 per share. The company also has $6.6 million of debt outstanding that sells at par. The pre-tax cost of debt is 9 percent and the unlevered cost of capital is 12 percent. What is the cost of equity if the tax rate is 35 percent?
Answer:
13.34%
Explanation:
According to the MM theory :
re = ro + (ro - rd)(1-t)D/E
where re = cost of equity
ro = unlevered cost of capital
t = tax rate
d/e = debt to equity ratio
equity = 300,000 x $32 = $9,600,000
D/E = $6.6 million / $9.6 million = 0.6875
12% + (12% - 9%) x (1-0.35) x 0.6875 = 13.34%
Marsh Corporation purchased a machine on July 1, 2012, for $1,250,000. The machine was estimated to have a useful life of 10 years with an estimated salvage value of $70,000. During 2015, it became apparent that the machine would become uneconomical after December 31, 2019, and that the machine would have no scrap value. Accumulated depreciation on this machine as of December 31, 2014, was $295,000. What should be the charge for depreciation in 2015 under generally accepted accounting principles
Answer:
$191,000
Explanation:
The computation of straight line depreciation is shown below:-
Straight line Depreciation:
= (Book value - Salvage value) ÷ Remaining life
= ($1,250,000 - $295,000 - 0) ÷ (From 2015 to 2019)
= ($1,250,000 - $295,000 - 0) ÷ 5 year
= $191,000
Therefore for computing the straight line depreciation we simply applied the above formula.

A buyer purchased a new residence for $175,000. The buyer made a down payment of $15,000 and obtained a $160,000 mortgage loan. The builder of the house paid the lender 3% of the loan balance for the first year and 2% for the second year. This represented a total savings for the buyer of $8,000. What type of mortgage arrangement is this
Answer:
Buydown, is the right answer.
Explanation:
This is a buydown mortgage arrangement because in the buydown financing technique the buyer tries to take lower interest rates in the initial year of the loan period. Moreover, some mortgage lenders provide buydown discounts or points as part of their promotion. Secondly, the builder pays the initial payment to the mortgage institution that results in the lower buyer’s payment.
