In the process of reconciling its bank statement for April, Donahue Enterprises' accountant compiles the following information: Cash balance per company books on April 30 $ 6,245 Deposits in transit at month-end $ 1,360 Outstanding checks at month-end $ 680 Bank charge for printing new checks $ 75 Note receivable and interest collected by bank on Donahue’s behalf $ 710 A check paid to Donahue during the month by a customer is returned by the bank as NSF $ 540 The adjusted cash balance per the books on April 30 is:
Answer:
$5,660.
Explanation:
The adjusted cash balance = Cash balance per company books on April 30 - Deposits in transit + Outstanding checks - Bank charge + Note receivable and interest - NSF check = $6,245 - $1,360 + $680 - $75 + $710 - $540 = $5,660.
Therefore, the adjusted cash balance per the books on April 30 is $5,660.
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) James just received an $8,000 inheritance check from the estate of his deceased uncle. James wants to set aside enough money to pay for a trip in five years. If the trip is expected to cost $5,000 and the rate of return is 12 percent per year, how much of the $8,000 must James deposit now to have the $5,000 in five years
Answer:
$2837.13
Explanation:
The account value is multiplied by 1 +12% = 1.12 each year, so at the end of 5 years, it will have been multiplied by 1.12^5. For some investment P, we want ...
5000 = P×1.12^5
5000/1.12^5 = P ≈ $2837.13
James must deposit about $2837.13 now to have the required amount in 5 years.
Milton Friedman argues that __________.
O corporations today should adopt a broader view of their social responsibilities than they have in the past.
O corporate officials have a social responsibility that goes beyond serving the interests of their stockholders.
O strict governmental controls are necessary if society is to maximize its overall economic well-being.
O a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.
Answer:
Milton Friedman argues that a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.
Explanation:
Milton Friedman is known to hold an opposing view when compared to that of John Keynes about economic theory.
Whereas Milton Friedman believes that the utmost responsibility of any company is to the shareholders, the Keynesian are more consumer focused.
Milton Friedman believes strongly in free capitalism and as a result does not advocate for any company offering corporate social responsibility to the society or public.

Explain how strong enforcement of carefully designed patent laws affects the growth rate of an economy. (5 points) Explain how tax incentives can be used to promote faster economic growth. (5 points) Explain the "infant industry argument" and its relationship to a country’s growth rate. (5 points) Explain what incentives can be used to increase the savings rate in an economy (as another way to promote faster economic growth). (5 points)
Answer:
1.In simple words, strong enforced patent laws will work as a motivation to innovation and innovation always results in better outcomes for thee economy as the output in the economy could be increased dramatically through technology advances.
2. By simply decreasing the tax rates on income from middle class households, Government can increase the demand of goods due to higher income in hand which further results in growth of economy.
3. Such argument states the new industries must be protected from foreign competitors until they are stable on their own. This is completely true as new industrious lead to better employment opportunities which further leads to economic growth.
4. For first tax rates can be decreased for more income in hand and also interest rates on savings could be increased.
If the government set a price ceiling of $40, there would be: Group of answer choices a shortage (or excess supply) of about 8 units a shortage (or excess supply) of about 12 units a surplus (or excess demand) of about 8 units a surplus (or excess demand) of about 12 units
Answer:
A surplus (or excess demand) of about 8 units
Explanation:
The picture attached shows the diagram necessary for the question which is part of the question. Solution is given below;
At the above ceiling at price of 40$
Quantity supplied will be 16
Quantity demanded will be 24
So when demand is more than supply than there will be a shortage in quantity by (24-16) 8 units.
When there is demand more than supply than it is an excess demand.
So surplus or excess demand by 8 units.
At the beginning of 2020, Vaughn Company acquired a mine for $1,965,400. Of this amount, $115,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 11,010,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Vaughn incurred $195,500 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $46,000. During 2020, 2,433,000 units of ore were extracted and 2,081,000 of these units were sold.
Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
Answer:
$462,270.00
Explanation:
The first task is to determine the depletion rate per unit of ore extracted from the mine.
depletion rate=total cost the mine/total units of ore extract
total cost of mine=acquisition cost-land value+development costs+removal cost
total cost of mine=$1,965,400-$115,000+$195,500+$46,000=$2,091,900.00
total units of ore extract is 11,010,000 units
depletion rate= 2,091,900.00/11,010,000=$0.19 per unit of ore
depletion amount in 2020=depletion rate*ore extracted in 2020=2,433,000*$0.19 =$462,270.00
Answer:
$408,903
Explanation:
Depletion is an estimated cost of a natural resource that is extracted. This resource is expensed as the extraction is made.
As per given data
Total Payment = $1,965,400
Land Value = $115,000
Value of Rights = $1,965,400 - $115,000 = $1,850,400
Estimated resources = 11,010,000 units
Resources extracted in the period = 2,433,000 units
Depletion expense is based on ratio of the amount of extraction in period to the total expected resource.
Depletion Expense = $1,850,400 x 2,433,000 / 11,010,000 units = $408,903
The Berkel Corporation manufactures Widgets, Gizmos, and Turnbols from a joint process. June production is 5,000 widgets; 8,750 gizmos; and 10,000 turnbols. Respective per unit selling prices at splitoff are $75, $50, and $25. Joint costs up to the splitoff point are $187,500. If joint costs are allocated based upon the sales value at splitoff, what amount of joint costs will be allocated to the widgets
Answer:
Allocated join cost = $66,176.47
Explanation:
The joint cost is allocated using sales. This is done by using the proportion of sales of the total which is attributed to the sales value of widget
Total sales value of the three products=
(75 × 5,000) + ($50× 8,750) + ( $25× 10,000)= 1,062,500
Joint cost = $187,500.
Joint costs allocated to Widget
= (75 × 5,000)/1,062,500 × $187,500. = 66,176.47
Allocated join cost =$66,176.47
8-27 Basic Flexible Budget The budgeted prices for materials and direct labor per unit of fi nished product are $8 and $7, respectively. The production manager is delighted about the following data: Static Budget Actual Costs Variance Direct materials $59,200 $49,900 $9,300 F Direct labor 51,800 39,200 12,600 F Is the manager’s happiness justifi ed? Prepare a report that might provide a more detailed explanation of why the static budget was not achieved. Good output was 5,300 units.

Direct Materials $42,400 $49,900 $7,500 U
Direct Labor $ 37,100 $39,200 $2,100 U
Total Variable costs $79,500 $89,100 $9,600 U
Explanation:
Using the good output and a flexible budget, the static budget was not achieved favorably as depicted.
A flexible budget varies the budgeted units to agree with the volume of activity. This produces a different result from the static budget, which does not vary the budgeted units according to the volume of activity.
A flexible budget is preferable as it reflects the correct performance given the activity level or volume of production or sales.
On January 1, 2011, G Corp. granted stock options to key employees for the purchase of 80,000 shares of the company's common stock at $25 per share. The options are intended to compensate employees for the next two years. The options are exercisable within a four-year period beginning January 1, 2013, by the grantees still in the employ of the company. No options were terminated during 2011, but the company does have an experience of 20% forfeitures over the life of the stock options. The market price of the common stock was $31 per share at the date of the grant. G Corp. used the Binomial pricing model and estimated the fair value of each of the options at $10. What amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011
Answer:
The amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 is $320,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 we would have to calculate the following formula:
amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011=Total compensation/2
Note: company does have an experience of 20% forfeitures over the life of the stock options, therefore, 100%-20%=80%
Total compensation= 80,000 options × $10 × 80%
Total compensation= $640,000
amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011=$640,000/2
amount should G charge to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011=$320,000

JB Instruments is analyzing a proposed project. The company expects to sell 1,600 units, ±3 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $220 and the expected fixed costs are $438,000. Cost estimates are considered accurate within a ±2 percent range. The depreciation expense is $64,000. The sales price is estimated at $647 per unit, ±2 percent. What is the sales revenue under the worst-case scenario?
Answer:
$984,061.12
Explanation:
The computation of sales revenue under the worst-case scenario is shown below:-
Sales revenue under the worst-case scenario = Quantity sold × Price
= (1,600 - 1,600 × 3%) × ($647 - $647 × 2%)
= (1,600 - 48) × ($647 - 12.94)
= 1,552 × 634.06
= $984,061.12
Therefore for computing the sales revenue under the worst-case scenario we simply applied the above formula.
Seven, Inc. has provided the following data concerning one of the products in its standard cost system. Variable manufacturing overhead is applied to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. Inputs Standard Quantity or Hours per Unit of Output Standard Price or Rate Direct materials 3.5 feet $ 8.20 per foot Direct labor 1.75 hours $ 7.00 per hour Variable manufacturing overhead 1.75 hours $ 2.60 per hour The company planned to produce 23,100 units of output during June and has reported the following actual results for the product for June: Actual output 24,000 Units Raw materials purchased/used 88,800 Feet Actual total cost of raw materials $ 706,560 Actual direct labor-hours 48,000 Hours Actual total direct labor cost $ 374,400 Actual total variable overhead cost $ 124,800 Assume all of the materials purchased was used during the month to produce the 24,000 units. The price variance for DM is:
Answer:
Material price variance $21,600 unfavorable
Explanation:
Material price variance
A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. A favorable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite
$
88, 800 feet should have cost (88, 800× $8.20) 728,160
but did cost 706,560
Material price variance 21,600 unfavorable
Royal Dutch Shell(RDS) acquires ethanol fuel from Brazilian Cosan energy company. The Ethanol costs 500 million Brazilian Real(BRL) to grow the corn and convert it to ethanol. RDS doesn't have BRL, so they must use the futures market to acquire the currency. If 1 BRL/USD futures contract is for 100,000 reals What is the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery.
Answer:
The answer is 5000 future contracts
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Royal Dutch buys ethanol fuel from Brazilian energy company
Nowm,
The Required coverage = 500,000,000
The BRL/USD futures contract size = 100,000
Number of contracts required = 500,000,000/100,000
So,
= 500,000,000/100,000 = 5000
Therefore, the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery is 5000
According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, KB Home and other builders found demand for new houses increasing in 2017 as a result of an increase in the formation of new households. In the long run, formation of new households depends on population growth. Source: Laura Kusisto and Sarah Chaney, "U.S. Housing Starts Fell in April for Third Time in Four Months," Wall Street Journal, May 16, 2017. Are firms like homebuilders that sell products whose demand depends partly on demographic factors likely to be more or less affected by the business cycle than are other firms whose products are less dependent on these factors (holding constant other factors that affect the demand for new houses)? Briefly explain.
Answer:
Generally speaking, demographic growth can affect the economy quite a lot, but the economy has a very little effect on demographic growth. E.g. the baby boomers were great for the economy during several decades, but there is no clear relationship between population growth and economic activity.
This means that companies like home builders whose demand depends on other factors besides the economy, will be less affected by economic recessions or expansions. E.g. the demographic growth in America was around 0.7% during 2019 and the economy was growing that year.
Actually, the US population has been declining over the last decades. The real growth factor in population has been immigration in the last decades, and that has also been declining lately.
Assume that an economy is initially in long-run equilibrium. Explain the short-run effect of monetary policy that causes an increase in interest rates. As a result of higher interest rates, the A. long-run aggregate supply curve will shift left. B. aggregate demand curve will shift left. C. short-run aggregate supply curve will shift left. D. aggregate demand curve will shift right. The new equilibrium will be A. where the original aggregate demand curve intersects the original short-run aggregate supply curve. B. where the new aggregate demand curve intersects the original short-run aggregate supply curve. C. where the new aggregate demand curve intersects the original aggregate demand curve.
Answer:
As a result of higher interest rates, the
B. aggregate demand curve will shift left.The new equilibrium will be
B. where the new aggregate demand curve intersects the original short-run aggregate supply curve.Explanation:
A contractionary monetary policy will increase the interest rates, lowering investment and consumption. This will result in a leftward shift of the aggregate demand curve.
The new equilibrium (E1) will be at the point where the new aggregate demand curve (AD1) intersects the original short run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) and the long run aggregate supply curve (LRAS).
Vaughn Manufacturing expects to purchase $180000 of materials in July and $170000 of materials in August. Three-fourths of all purchases are paid for in the month of purchase, and the other one-fourth are paid for in the month following the month of purchase. How much will August's cash disbursements for materials purchases be?
Answer:
The August's cash disbursements for materials purchases would be
$172,500.00 for Vaughn Manufacturing
Explanation:
The cash disbursements in the month of August consist of the three-fourth cost of the August purchases and the one-fourth of the July purchases since the 3/4 of the cost of materials purchased is paid in the same month as purchases and the balance of 1/4 of purchase cost in the succeeding month
Cash disbursements in August=($170,000*3/4)+($180,000*1/4)=$127500 +$45,000=$172,500.00
The economy is in equilibrium, TP = TE. Then, autonomous consumption rises. As a result, __________ rises, the __________ curve shifts __________, inventory levels unexpectedly __________, and business firms __________ the quantity of goods and services they produce. Group of answer choices consumption; TE; downward; fall; increase consumption; TE; upward; fall; increase consumption; TE; upward; rise; decrease investment; TE; upward; fall; increase investment; TP; leftward; fall; increase
Explanation:
The economy is in equilibrium, TP = TE. That is total production is equal to total production.
Then, autonomous consumption rises. As a result, consumption rises, the TE(total expenditure) curve shifts upwards, inventory levels unexpectedly falls, and business firms increases the quantity of goods and services they produce.

Which of the following is the most likely negative consequence of excessive change in an organization? Group of answer choices Staff being asked to do too much Staff being restricted to a single activity The operation of the organization at less than capacity The establishment of a system for prioritizing projects
Answer:
Staff being asked to do too much.
Explanation:
Excessive change in an organization is defined as a process when organizations pursue several differing, unrelated and sometimes changes that are conflicting simultaneously. It can also be, when an organization involves in introducing new changes before previous changes are being accomplished.
Additionally, when staffs or employees perceives change as being excessive, they react in various ways. Some of their reactions to excessive change includes;
• They become overwhelmed.
• Lack of motivation.
• They're stressed out.
• Frustration and anger builds among them.
• Inadequacy, uncertainty
and incompetence.
The lower level staffs and middle managers are most likely to experience, the negative consequence of excessive change in an organization because they're being asked to do too much.
Granite Enterprises acquired a patent from Southern Research Corporation on January 1, 2021, for $3.4 million. The patent will be used for five years, even though its legal life is 20 years. Rocky Corporation has made a commitment to purchase the patent from Granite for $110,000 at the end of five years. Compute Granite's patent amortization for 2021, assuming the straight-line method is used
Answer:
$658,000
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
Granite Enterprises Patent acquired = $3.4 million
Used years = 5 years
Rocky corporation purchase after 5 years = $110,000
So, we can calculate the Granite's patent amortisation by using following formula:
Granite's patent amortisation = ($3,400,000 - $110,000) ÷ 5
= $3,290,000 ÷ 5
= $658,000
Garcia's Garage desires to create some colorful charts and graphs to illustrate how reliably its mechanics "get under the hood and fix the problem." The historic average for the proportion of customers that return for the same repair within the 30-day warranty period is 0.09.Each month, Garcia tracks 100customers to see whether they return for warranty repairs. The results are plotted as a proportion to report progress toward the goal. If the control limits are to be set at twostandard deviations on either side of the goal, determine the control limits for this chart. In March, 5of the 100customers in the sample group returned for warranty repairs. Is the repair process in control?
Answer:
the given question historic average is given as 0.09 for 100 customers.
Therefore,
P = 0.09 and n = 100
The control liimits are to be set two standard deviation around the mean.
Standard deviation =
\sigma = \sqrt{p(1-p)/n)}
Therefore substitutin g the value in the above formula:
\sigma = \sqrt{0.09(1-0.09)/100)}
After soving we get result as:
\sigma = 0.0286
Upper Control Limit = 0.09 + 2 * \sigma = 0.09 + (2 * 0.0286) = 0.1472
Lower Control Liimit = = 0.09- 2 * \sigma = 0.09 - (2 * 0.286) = -0.0328
For March, 5 out of 100 customers returned for warranty repairs, therefore,
p for March = 5/100 = 0.05
The process doses not fall under control limits, so it is out of control for March.
Stellar Plastics is analyzing a proposed project with annual depreciation of $19,500 and a tax rate of 34 percent. The company expects to sell 12,000 units, plus or minus 5 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $3.20 plus or minus 4 percent, and the expected fixed costs are $30,000 plus of minus 2 percent. The sales price is estimated at $7.50 a unit, plus or minus 4 percent. What is the operating cash flow for a sensitivity analysis using total fixed costs of $31,000
Answer:
$20,226
Explanation:
expected sales = 11,400 - 12,000 - 12,600
expected sales price = $7.20 - $7.50 - $7.80
expected variable cost = $3.072 - $3.20 - $3.328
total fixed costs = $31,000
if you use an excel spreadsheet you can calculate all the different possible simulations and combine all the expected sales x 3 different price levels x 3 different variable costs and 1 fixed cost. Once you get all the 27 possible solutions, you just get the average.

Cost Retail Beginning inventory $ 196,000 $ 280,000 Purchases 896,000 1,280,000 Freight-in 24,000 — Net markups — 80,000 Net markdowns — 56,000 Sales — 1,344,000 If the ending inventory is to be valued at approximately the lower of cost or market, what is the cost-to-retail ratio?
Answer:
$ 168,000
Explanation:
Include both Mark-ups and Mark-Downs and Exclude beginning inventory
When LIFO Inventory Method is used to find out Ending inventory retail Value. Cost to Retail Ratio will be Applied for both Previous year ending Inventory and the Current Year addition To Calculates
the Previous year Ending inventory :
Cost to Retail Ratio : Ending inventory at cost / Ending inventory at Retail
For Current year Addition :
Cost to Retail Ratio : Current Year Addition in Cost /Current Year Addition in Retail
Current year addition in retail includes : Markup ,Markdown purchases

The Essex Company found that an average of 10 days elapses between when customer payments are received and the deposited funds clear the customer's bank and become usable by the firm. Essex's annual sales are $240 million. (Assume 365 days per year when converting from annual data to daily data or vice versa.) What is the increase in Essex's average cash balance assuming that it can reduce the time required to process customer payments by 3 days through more efficient payment processing methods
Answer:
$1,972,602.74
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Increase in Essex’s Average Cash Balance = (Annual Sales ÷ Days Per Year) × Required Process Customer by Days
= (240,000,000 ÷ 365) × 3
= 657,534.25 × 3
= $1,972,602.74
According to the analysis, Increase in Essex’s average cash balance is $1,972,602.74
Bentley Enterprises uses process costing to control costs in the manufacture of Dust Sensors for the mining industry. The following information pertains to operations for November. (CMA Exam adapted) Units Work in process, November 1st 16,000 Started in production during November 100,000 Work in process, November 30th 24,000 The beginning inventory was 60% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion costs. The ending inventory was 90% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion costs. Costs pertaining to November are as follows: Beginning inventory: direct materials, $54,560; direct labor, $20,320; manufacturing overhead, $15,240. Costs incurred during the month: direct materials, $468,000; direct labor, $182,880; manufacturing overhead, $391,160. What is the equivalent unit cost for materials assuming Bentley uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing?
Answer:
Material Cost per equivalent unit =$4.87
Explanation:
First in First out (FIFO)methods separates completed units into fully worked and opening inventory
Fully worked units: These represent units of inventory that were started in a current period and completed that same period. The fully worked units are calculated in order to separate the opening inventory from the the newly introduced when accounting for completed units under the FIFO.
For Bentley , fully worked units is
Fully worked = Newly introduced - closing work in progress
= 100,000- 24,000 = 76,000 .
Opening inventory = 16,000
Item Units Equivalent Units
Opening inventory 16,000 × 40%= 9,600
Completed unit 76,000 × 100% = 480,000
Closing inventory 24,000 × 90% = 21,600
Total equivalent units 107,200
Cost per equivalent unit = Total cost/ equivalent inits
= 54560 +468,000/ 107,200 = $4.87
Material Cost per equivalent unit =$4.87
The equivalent unit cost for materials assuming Bentley uses first-in and first-out (FIFO) process costing:
For Bentley , fully worked units is
Fully worked = Newly introduced - closing work in progressFully worked= 100,000- 24,000 = 76,000 .Opening inventory = 16,000
Item Units Equivalent Units
Opening inventory 16,000 × 40%= 9,600
Completed unit 76,000 × 100% = 480,000
Closing inventory 24,000 × 90% = 21,600
Total equivalent units 107,200
Cost per equivalent unit = Total cost/ equivalent inits
Cost per equivalent unit= 54560 +468,000/ 107,200 = $4.87
The Material Cost per equivalent unit =$4.87.
