They both receive capital to use for growth.

Explanation:

The government received the capital in the form of tax that being paid by the citizens. After collecting the tax income, the government allocated it to make a couple of investments such as building the country's infrastructure, providing aid for people to pursue education, and investing in scientific research/development.

The lowest amount a manufacturer can pay factory workers is an example of

an incentive.
a price floor.
a price ceiling.
an elastic service.

Answers

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

The correct answer to this question is the price floor.

The Price floor is the lowest amount that is imposed by the government or group-imposed lowest price limit for a product or service. The government uses the price floor to keep prices at a certain level from going to low. So price floors for workers set by the government that the employer should not pay less than the set amount.

while other options are not correct because::

The price ceiling is the high amount set by the government or the by other groups for a product or service.

An incentive is an amount or something that can be given to employees or someone for motivation or encouraging them to do something.  

An elastic service is given by amazon to develop and run the application with different tools etc.

Answer:price floor

Explanation:

Daily demand for a certain product is normally distributed with a mean of 138 and a standard deviation of 13. The supplier is reliable and maintains a constant lead time of 7 days. The cost of placing an order is $17 and the cost of holding inventory is $0.40 per unit per year. There are no stock-out costs, and unfilled orders are filled as soon as the order arrives. Assume sales occur over 358 days of the year.
Your goal here is to find the order quantity and reorder point to satisfy a 73 percent probability of not stocking out during the lead time.
a. To manage inventory, the company is using
Continuous review system
Periodic review system
b. Find the order quantity. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

c. Find the reorder point. (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.)
Reorder point

Answers

Answer:

A. Continuous review system

B. Order quantity = 2,049 Books

C. Reorder point=987

Explanation:

a. To manage inventory, the company is using CONTINUOUS REVIEW SYSTEM

b. Calculation to find the order quality

Using this formula

Order quantity = √((2DS)/H)

Let plug in the morning

Order quantity=√ ((2 x 49,404 x 17)/0.40)

Order quantity = 2,049 Books

Calculation for annual demand

Annual demand=138*358 days

Annual demand=49,404

C. Calculation for reorder point

First step is to find the σL

73 % S.L. - z = 0.613

Using this formula to find the σL

σL = (Lσ^2)

Let plug in the formula

σL=√(7(13)^2)

σL= 34.39

Second step is to find the Reorder point using this formula

Reorder point = d bar(L) + zσL

Let plug in the formula

Reorder point = (138)(7) + 0.613(34.39)

Reorder point = 966+21

Reorder point=987

3. To gain overall assurance as to the reasonableness of accounts payable, the auditor may consider _________.
4. When auditors find unrecorded liabilities, before adjusting they must consider __________.
5 Auditiors need to consider_______ terms for determining ownership and whether a liability should be recorded.

Answers

Answer:

1. When searching for unrecorded liabilities, the auditors consider transactions recorded after year end.

Auditors consider transactions recorded after year end to determine if it was supposed to be recorded in the current period.

2. Accounts payable confirmation can be mailed to vendors from whom substantial purchases have been made.

As a way to keep a document trail, creditors from whom substantial goods were bought from can be mailed a confirmation.

3. To gain overall assurance as to the reasonableness of accounts payable, the auditor may consider ratios.

Ratios such as the Payables turnover can be used to evaluate the reasonableness of Accounts payable.

4. When auditors find unrecorded liabilities, before adjusting they must consider materiality.

They must consider if the adjustment is material or significant enough to record.

5 Auditiors need to consider shipping terms terms for determining ownership and whether a liability should be recorded.

Shipping terms need to be considered because they can tell who owns goods in transit and therefore if a liability is needed for them. Shipping terms such as FOB Shipping point mean that the business incurs the liability as soon as the seller ships the goods.

Cooperative San José of southern Sonora state in Mexico makes a unique syrup using cane sugar and local herbs. The syrup is sold in small bottles and is prized as a flavoring for drinks and for use in desserts. The bottles are sold for $12 each. The first stage in the production process is carried out in the Mixing Department, which removes foreign matter from the raw materials and mixes them in the proper proportions in large vats. The company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system.

A hastily prepared report for the Mixing Department for April appears below:

Units to be accounted for:
Work in process, April 1 (materials 90% complete; conversion 80% complete) 5,700
Started into production 34,100
Total units to be accounted for 39,800
Units accounted for as follows:
Transferred to next department 29,400

Required:

a. What were the Mixing Department's equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for April?
b. What were the Mixing Department's cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for April? The beginning inventory consisted of the following costs: materials, $10,545; and conversion cost, $4,731. The costs added during the month consisted of: materials, $64,649; and conversion cost, $31,599.
c. How many of the units transferred out of the Mixing Department in April were started and completed during that month?
d. The manager of the Mixing Department stated, "Materials prices jumped from about $1.65 per unit in March to $2.15 per unit in April, but due to good cost control I was able to hold our materials cost to less than $2.15 per unit for the month." Should this manager be rewarded for good cost control?

Answers

Answer:

a. EU:

materials = 29,400 + 7,280 = 36,680

conversion = 29,400 + 5,200 = 34,600

b. cost per EU:

materials = $75,194 / 36,680 = $2.05

conversion = $36,330 / 34,600 = $1.05

c. units started and completed during April = 23,700

d. no, he didn't do anything, When a company uses the weighted average process costing method, the cost of beginning WIP is used to determine the cost per equivalent unit. On the other hand, FIFO process costing method doesn't, it only considers costs incurred during the month to calculate cost per equivalent unit.

Explanation:

beginning WIP 5,700 $15,276

materials, $10,545

conversion cost, $4,731

units started 34,100

costs added during the month = $96,248

materials, $64,649

conversion cost, $31,599

units transferred out 29,400 $91,140

ending WIP 10,400 $20,384

materials 70% = 7,280 EU

conversion 50% = 5,200 EU

EU:

materials = 29,400 + 7,280 = 36,680

conversion = 29,400 + 5,200 = 34,600

total cost for materials = $64,649 + $10,545 = $75,194

total cost for conversion = $31,599 + $4,731 = $36,330

cost per EU:

materials = $75,194 / 36,680 = $2.05

conversion = $36,330 / 34,600 = $1.05

units started and completed during April = 29,400 - 5,700 = 23,700

Answers

Answer:

Foreign direct investment.

Explanation:

BMW’s vehicle-assembly facility in South Carolina represents a direct investment inside the United States by the German manufacturer. This facility is an example of foreign direct investment.

A foreign direct investment (FDI) can be defined as an investment made by an individual or business entity (investor) into an investment market (industry) located in another country. The investor here, shares a different country of origin from the country where his investment is located.

In a foreign direct investment (FDI), an investor must establish his business, factory and operations in a foreign country or acquire assets in a business that is being operated in a foreign country.

Additionally, foreign direct investment (FDI) are categorized into three (3) main types and these are;

1. Vertical FDI: it involves establishing a different business that is however similar to the main business owned by the investor.

2. Horizontal FDI: it involves establishing the same type of business in a foreign country as owned in the investor's country.

3. Conglomerate FDI: it involves establishing a business that is completely different in another (foreign) country.

A check register shows a balance of $152.34. The bank statement shows that a check for $75.00 deposited by the account owner was drawn against insufficient funds and was returned. A charge for $2.00 was also deducted by the bank because of the return. Compute the adjusted cash balance of the check register.

Answers

Answer:

$150.34

Explanation:

The $75 check has been drawn against insufficient funds and has been returned so this check won't be included in the adjusted cash balance of the check register.

A charge for $2.0 will be deducted from the balance shown by the cash register above to calculate the adjusted cash balance of the check register.

Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $152.34 - $2

Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $150.34

You have a tax basis of ​$ and a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Provide a depreciation schedule ​(dk for k1​5) for ​% declining balance with switchover to straight line. Specify the year to switchover. Determine the depreciation amounts using the ​% declining balance and​ straight-line methods and BV amounts for each year

Answers

Answer:

the numbers are missing, so I will use another question as an example:

the asset's cost is $100,000useful life is 5 yearsno salvage value150% declining balance

straight line depreciation = $100,000 / 5 = $20,000

150% declining balance depreciation year 1 = 1.5 x $100,000 x 1/5 = $30,000, since it is higher than straight line we will use declining balance

book value at end of year 1 = $100,000 - $30,000 = $70,000

straight line deprecation = $70,000 / 4 = $17,500

150% declining balance depreciation year 2 = 1.5 x $70,000 x 1/5 = $28,000, since it is higher than straight line we will use declining balance

book value at end of year 2 = $70,000 - $28,000 = $42,000

straight line depreciation = $42,000 / 3 = $14,000, since it is higher than declining balance we will use straight line ⇒ switchover year

150% declining balance depreciation year 3 = 1.5 x $42,000 x 1/5 = $12,600

book value at end of year 3 = $42,000 - $14,000 = $28,000

depreciation year 4 = $14,000 (straight line)

book value at end of year 4 = $28,000 - $14,000 = $14,000

depreciation year 5 = $14,000 (straight line)

book value at end of year 5 = $14,000 - $14,000 = $0

You are invested in two hedge funds. The probability that hedge fund Alpha generates positive returns in any given year is 60%. The probability that hedge fund Omega generates positive returns in any given year is 70%. Assume the returns are independent. What is the probability that both funds generate positive returns in a given year? What is the probability that both funds lose money?

Answers

Answer:

42% and 12%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For Alpha Fund

Positive return = 60%

Lose money is

= 1 - 0.60

= 40%

For Omega Fund

 Positive return = 70%

Lose money is

= 1 - 0.70

= 0.30

Also the returns are non-dependent

Now the positive return is

= 60% × 70

= 42%

And, the probability of lose money is

= 40% × 30%

= 12%

Answer:

1 4 5 7

Explanation:

The text presents five signs of organizational culture: mission statement, stories & language, physical layout, rules & policies, and rituals. Select an organization where you have worked or are familiar with and identify an example of each sign of organizational culture. How do you think each of these things conveyed the organizational culture to employees and customers/clients.

Answers

Answer:

Face book

mission statement: give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.

physical layout: How Face book is constructed.

rules & policies: The employees are required to act honestly, lawfully, ethically and in favor of the company they represent.

rituals: Face book looks for innovation and breaking the status quo, and to do so Face book employees are invited to paint, create and decore their offices and public spaces with own made art.

Explanation:

Organizational culture is what we call the mix of core values and actions that make up an organization, it's mostly and widely used for companies but it also applies to schools, governments, non-profits, and any group of people working together towards a goal.

The mission statement is basically what the organization wants to achieve, or its dreamed goal.

Stories and language are the speech that the organization communicates to the audience or anyone interacting with it.

The physical layouts are the colors and buildings, apps, or any way of direct interaction that any person could have with the organization.

Rules and policies are what dictate the behavior of all the employees and people related to the organization.

And rituals are the activities that the organization does in order to reinforce the values and policies they try to live day by day, doing your own painting is one example of these rituals.

What is the balance in the account at the end of each of the next three years (after your deposit is made)? How does the final bank balance compare with your answer in (b)?

a) PV = $100/1.08 + $100/1.08² + $100/1.08³ = $257.71

b) FV = $257.71 x (1 + 8%)³ = $324.64

c) FV = ($100 x 1.08²) + ($100 x 1.08) + $100 = $324.64

it is exactly the same as the answer for (b)

Mattola Company is giving each of its employees a holiday bonus of $200 on December 13, 20-- (a nonpayday). The company wants each employee's check to be $200. The supplemental tax percent is used.


Nobody has capped for OASDI prior to the bonus check.


a. What will be the gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% (besides the other payroll taxes)? You may need to add one penny to the gross so that net bonus exactly equals $200. Round your calculations and final answers to the nearest cent.


b. What would the net amount of each bonus check be if the company did not gross-up the bonus? Round your intermediary calculations to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer:

a. Gross amount of each bonus = $309.84

b. Net amount of each bonus = $129.10

Explanation:

Since the supplemental tax percent is used, the following are the relevant tax rates to be applied in the calculations:

STP = Supplemental tax percent = 25%

FICASO = Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) social security tax = 6.2%

FICAM = Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) Medicare tax = 1.45%.

SIT = State income tax = 2.8%

We therefore proceed as follows:

a. What will be the gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% (besides the other payroll taxes)? You may need to add one penny to the gross so that net bonus exactly equals $200. Round your calculations and final answers to the nearest cent.

Given the tax rates above, the following formula is used to calculate the gross amount of each bonus:

Gross amount of each bonus = Holiday bonus amount / (100% - STP - FICASO - FICAM - SIT) …… (1)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Gross amount of each bonus = $200/ (100% - 25% - 6.20% - 1.45% - 2.8%)

Gross amount of each bonus = $200 / 64.55%

Gross amount of each bonus = $309.837335398916

To the nearest cent which implies to two decimal places, we have:

Gross amount of each bonus = $309.84

b. What would the net amount of each bonus check be if the company did not gross-up the bonus? Round your intermediary calculations to the nearest cent.

The net amount of each bonus can be calculated using the following formula:

Net amount of each bonus = Holiday bonus amount * (100% - STP - FICASO - FICAM - SIT) …… (2)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (2), we have:

Net amount of each bonus = $200 * (100% - 25% - 6.20% - 1.45% - 2.8%)

Net amount of each bonus = $200 * 64.55%

Net amount of each bonus = $129.10

SY Manufacturers (SYM) is producing T-shirts in three colors: red, blue, and white. The monthly demand for each color is 3,487 units. Each shirt requires 0.75 pound of raw cotton that is imported from the Luft-Geshfet-Textile (LGT) Company in Brazil. The purchasing price per pound is $1.55 (paid only when the cotton arrives at SYM's facilities) and transportation cost by sea is $0.70 per pound. The traveling time from LGT’s facility in Brazil to the SYM facility in the United States is two weeks. The cost of placing a cotton order, by SYM, is $186 and the annual interest rate that SYM is facing is 32 percent of total cost per pound.
a. What is the optimal order quantity of cotton? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Optimal order quantity pounds
b. How frequently should the company order cotton? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Company orders once every months
c. Assuming that the first order is needed on 1-Jul, when should SYM place the order?
17-Jun
1-Jul
15-Jul
d. How many orders will SYM place during the next year? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Number of orders times
e. What is the resulting annual holding cost? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Annual holding cost $ per year
f. What is the resulting annual ordering cost?
Annual ordering cost $
g. If the annual interest cost is only 5 percent, how will it affect the annual number of orders, the optimal batch size, and the average inventory?

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. The optimal order quantity can be calculated as:

= √2DS/H

where

D = 3 × 12 × 3487 × 0. 75

= 94149

Total cost incurred during purchase

= $1.55 + $0.70

= $2.25

Setup cost (S) = $186

Holding cost

= 32% × $2.25

= 0.32 × $2.25

= $0.72

Optimal order quantity

= √(2 × 94149 × 186)/0.72

= 6974.50

b. This will be calculated as:

Annual demand / EOQ

= 94149/6974.50

= 13.50

The company should order cotton 13.5 times per year.

c. Since the first order is needed on 1-July and lead time is 2 weeks, SYM should place the order before 17th June.

d. This will be:

= Annual demand / EOQ

= 94149/6974.50

= 13.5 orders

e. The resulting annual holding cost will be:

= 0.72 × (6974.50/2)

= 0.72 × 3487.25

= $2510.82

f. The resulting annual ordering will be:

= 94149/6974.50 × $186

= 13.5 × $186

= $2511

Last month Empire Company had a $35,280 profit on sales of $287,000. Fixed costs are $68,040 a month. By how much would sales be able to decrease for Empire to still break even

Answers

Answer:

sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even

Explanation:

gross profit = net income + fixed costs = $35,280 + $68,040 = $103,320

COGS = total sales - gross profit = $287,000 - $103,320 = $183,680

contribution margin ratio = $103,320 / $287,000 = 36%

break even point in $ = $68,040 / 36% = $189,000

sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even

At January 1, 2021, Cafe Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 13 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $94,113.) Crescent seeks a 12% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease.Required:a. What will be the effect of the lease on Cafe Med's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?b.
