Answer:
a. We have:
Year 2 asset turnover = 1.3 times
Year 1 asset turnover = 1.0 time
b. Since asset turnover of the ABC Depot increases from 1.0 time in Year 1 to 1.3 times in Year 2, these turnover therefore indicate that the ability of The ABC Depot to use its assets to generate sales more effectively has increased/improved.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
The ABC Depot reported the following data (in millions) in its recent financial statements:
Year 2 Year 1
Sales $86,060 $74,200
Total assets at the end of the year 63,800 68,600
Total assets at the beginning of the year 68,600 79,800
a. Determine the asset turnover for The ABC Depot for Year 2 and Year 1. Round to one decimal place.
b. What do these turnover indicate concerning the trend in the ability of The ABC Depot to effectively use its assets to generate sales?
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
a. Determine the asset turnover for The ABC Depot for Year 2 and Year 1. Round to one decimal place.
The asset turnover can be calculated using the following formula:
Asset turnover = Sales / Average total assets ………………… (1)
Where:
Average total assets = (Total assets at the beginning of the year + Total assets at the end of the year) / 2
Using equation (1), we therefore have:
Year 2 asset turnover = $86,060 / (($68,600 + $63,800) / 2) = 1.3 times
Year 1 asset turnover = $74,200 / (($79,800 +$ 68,600) / 2) = 1.0 time
b. What do these turnover indicate concerning the trend in the ability of The ABC Depot to effectively use its assets to generate sales?
A higher asset turnover indicates that a company is using its assets to generate sales more effectively.
Since asset turnover of the ABC Depot increases from 1.0 time in Year 1 to 1.3 times in Year 2, these turnover therefore indicate that the ability of The ABC Depot to use its assets to generate sales more effectively has increased/improved.

Your income is $10,000 over the cutoff for the next lowest tax bracket. Your average tax rate is 10%. Your marginal tax rate is 25%. You contribute $3,000 to a traditional IRA and your contribution is fully deductible, should you decide to go that way. You decide, in fact, to make this a traditional IRA. How much did your contribution actually cost you, in after-tax dollars
Answer:
"$2,250" is the appropriate answer.
Explanation:

Tuscany Company estimated the following costs at the beginning of a particular year: Overhead $5,340,000 Direct labor cost $890,000 Tuscany uses normal costing and applies overhead on the basis of direct labor cost. (Direct labor cost equals total direct labor hours worked multiplied by the wage rate.) The direct labor cost was $50,000 for the month of January. Determine the overhead applied for the month of January.
Answer: $300,000
Explanation:
As overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor cost, the overhead rate for the period is:
= Overhead / Direct labor cost * 100%
= 5,340,000 / 890,000 * 100%
= 600%
If direct labor cost is $50,000 then overhead applied will be:
= Direct labor cost * Overhead rate
= 50,000 * 600%
= $300,000
Two towns, each with three members, are deciding whether to put on a fireworks display to celebrate the New Year. Fireworks cost $360. In each town, some people enjoy fireworks more than others. In the town of Bayport, each of the residents values the public good as follows:
Resident Value (Dollars)
Musashi 50
Rina 100
Sean 300
he total benefit of the fireworks display to the town of Bayport is $: ___________
Answer:
$450
Explanation:
The benefit an individual derives from an activity can be described as the total satisfaction or utility that individual derives from carrying out a particular activity. It is the value an individual derives from a particular activity
Benefit can be measured in dollars or in utils
the higher the value of the dollar or util, the higher the benefit the consumer derives from an activity
A rational person would weigh the cost of an activity to the benefit that would be derived from the activity. The individual would carry out the activity only if benefit outweigh the cost.
For example, in this question, the total benefit of fireworks display is 450. this is greater than the cost. So, the town would carry out the firework display
Total benefit is the sum of individual value individuals would derive from an activity.
total benefit = $50 + $100 + $300 = $450

A government is torn between selling annual pollution allowances and setting an annual pollution tax. Unlike in the messy real world, this government is quite certain that it can achieve the same price and quantity either way. It wants to choose the method that will pull in more government tax revenue. Is selling allowances better for revenues or is setting a pollution tax better, or will both raise exactly the same amount of revenue
Answer: Both will raise the same amount
Explanation:
The government here is certain that it can achieve the same quantity and price regardless of if it uses a pollution tax or pollution allowance. This means that it would be charging the companies the same regardless of the method used.
Both methods would therefore yield the same amount if the government uses either of them.

T/F If firms from country A undertake $20 billion of FDI in firms from country B in year 1, and another $20 billion in year 2, then we can say that in each of those two years, B receives annual FDI outflows of $20 billion, and A generates annual FDI inflows of $20 billion.
Answer: False
Explanation:
In both the first and second years, firms in country A undertook FDI projects of $20 billion in country B. This means that Country A had FDI outflows of $20 billion in those two years not inflows. Inflows are what happens when the FDI is coming into the country.
Country B on the other hand, was receiving money from country A. Country B therefore had FDI inflows of $20 billion in each of the two years and not outflows like Country A had.

Peabody Company owns 90% of the outstanding capital stock of Sloane Company. During 2014 and 2015 Sloane Company sold merchandise to Peabody Company at a markup of 25% of selling price. The selling price of the merchandise sold during the two years was $42,400 and $24,000, respectively. At the end of each year, Peabody Company had in its inventory one-fourth of the goods purchased that year from Sloane Company. Sloane Company reported net income of $29,300 in 2014 and $35,300 in 2015. Required:Determine the amount of the noncontrolling interest in consolidated income to be reported for 2014 and 2015.
Answer:
Amount of noncontrolling interest in consolidated income to be reported in 2014 = $2,718
Amount of noncontrolling interest in consolidated income to be reported in 2015 = $3,410
Explanation:
Percentage of the unsold inventory = One-fourth = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%
Percentage of noncontrolling interest = 100% - 90% = 10%
Unrealized profit on inventory = Selling price of the merchandise * Percentage of the unsold inventory * (Markup / (100% + Markup)) ……………. (1)
Amount of noncontrolling interest in consolidated income to be reported = (Reported net income by Sloane - Unrealized profit on inventory) * Percentage of noncontrolling interest ……………. (2)
Using equation (1), we have:
Unrealized profit on inventory in 2014 = $42,400 * 25% * (25% / (100% + 25%)) = $2,120
Unrealized profit on inventory in 2015 = $24,000 * 25% * (25% / (100% + 25%)) = $1,200
Using equation (2), we have:
Amount of noncontrolling interest in consolidated income to be reported in 2014 = ($29,300 - $2,120) * 10% = $2,718
Amount of noncontrolling interest in consolidated income to be reported in 2015 = ($35,300 - $1,200) * 10% = $3,410
