Answer: True
Explanation:
Foreign produced goods being sold in the United States are considered to be Imports. Imports are a leakage to the GDP of a nation as they represent income which flows out of the economy to other countries.
For this reason this income is subtracted from US GDP.
Indeed the Expenditure method accounts for this by deducting it from US Exports.
Companies, the military, the government, and nonprofit organizations can operate because they have determined the levels of authority and reporting structure for their organizations. What is the name given to this line of authority
Answer:
Chain of command.
Explanation:
Chain of command is been used in the description of operation flow pattern in companies, government, universities and in many organisations which aid in a better reporting relationship. This report is said to set records straight and also puts every individual in a category in this chart organization. Also a chain of command is established so that everyone knows whom they should report to and what responsibilities are expected at their level. A chain of command enforces responsibility and accountability.
Linden, Inc. uses a 5,700 square foot factory space that it rents for $2,800 a month for all its manufacturing activities. Linden has decided to switch to an activity-based costing system, and has identified its activities as follows: Preparation and Setup, Machining, Finishing, and Quality Control. 2,600 square feet of the factory are used for machining, while 1,300 square feet (each) are used for Preparation and Setup and Quality Control. Finishing uses 500 square feet. When assigning indirect costs to each activity, how much factory rent should be assigned to the Preparation and Setup cost pool
Answer:
$639
Explanation:
Rent assigned to preparation and setup = Total rent / Total space * Space used by preparation and setup
= $2,800 / 5,700 * 1,300
= 638.5965
= $639
Therefore, the factory rent that would be assigned to Preparation and Setup cost pool is $639.
Paula has sales that qualify to be reported on the installment basis. In year 2, installment sales were $40,000 with a cost of $30,000. In year 3, installment sales were $50,000 with a cost of $25,000. Collections in year 2 were in the amount of $30,000. Collections in year 3 were $10,000 on the year 2 sales and $30,000 on the year 3 sales. How much deferred gross profit exists as of the end of year 2
Answer: $2500
Explanation:
Gross profit is gotten when costs are subtracted from sales. Deferred gross profit is the cash that hasn't been gotten by a business.
The percentage on gross profit percentage will be calculated as:
= ($40000-$30000)/$40000 × 100
= $10,000/$40,000 × 100
= 0.25 × 100
= 25%
Deffered gross profit will now be calculated by multiplying the gross profit percentage by the cash to be cash to be collected. This will be:
=$10000 × 25%
= $2500
The deferred gross profit that exists as of the end of year 2 is $2500
g Question 3 (ASC Required - 20 points): After graduation, you work for a few years at a major accounting firm and advance to Senior. However, as part of this role, you start working on a client that is different from your other background: specifically, a major bank located in San Francisco. This bank primarily takes deposits from retail and business customers and lends money out to others. The accounting seems to be completely different from what you are used to and so you go to the Codification to find out what the accounting standards for this industry consist of. Describe the major classes of transactions undertaken by this sort of entity and how they should be accounted for.
Answer with Explanation:
The major transactions that a bank will be involved in are listed below:
Deposits of accounts holders: These deposits are basically the liability of the bank which it will pay them back in near future. Hence it must be recorded as a Current or Non-current liability depending upon the type of account and agreement between the parties to contract. Money lendings to borrowers: This money must be accounted for as a current or non-current asset depending upon the type of account and agreement made.Interest on the money lendings: It is interest income and must be accounted for as revenue.ATM and other Transaction processing charges: These fee charges are also part of income and thus must be accounted for as income.Receivables are valued based on their ________.
a. fair value
b. estimated amount collectible
c. lower-of-cost-or-market value
d. historical cost
Answer:
b. estimated amount collectible
Explanation:
In Financial accounting, Receivables are also known as Account Receivable. Receivables are considered to be a current asset because it is the payment a business firm would receive from its customers for goods purchased or services taken on credit. Also, accounts receivable are recorded in the current assets section of the balance sheet because they add value to a business firm.
Generally, current assets are considered to be liquid because they are listed on the balance sheet in the order (descending) in which they are expected to turn or be converted to cash within a relatively short term period.
Hence, receivables are valued based on their estimated amount collectible from customers for the goods and services taken.
Suppose there are 100 million in the labor force, and 6 million unemployed people. During the next month, 200,000 people lose their jobs and 300,000 find jobs. The new total of employed persons is ________ and the new unemployment rate is ________.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the currently employed people and the unemployment rate:
Employed people= 100,000,000 - 6,000,000= 94,000,000
Unemployment rate= unemployed people / labor force
Unemployment rate= 6,000,000 / 100,000,000
Unemployment rate= 0.06= 6%
Now, the newly employed people and the unemployment rate:
Employed people= 94,000,000 + 300,000 - 200,000
Employed people= 94,100,000
Unemployment rate= 5,900,000 / 100,000,000
Unemployment rate= 0.059 = 5.9%
Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of gasoline is $3.00 per gallon.
Complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it is binding or nonbinding.
Statement Price Control Binding or Not
The government prohibits gas stations from selling gasoline for more than $2.50 per gallon.
The government has instituted a legal minimum price of $3.40 per gallon for gasoline.
There are many teenagers who would like to work at gas stations, but they are not hired due to minimum-wage laws.
Answer:
Price ceiling binding
price floor binding
Price floor binding
Explanation:
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.
The maximum price ($2.50) is less than the equilibrium price($3) . So it is a binding price ceiling
The minimum price ($3.40) is greater than the equilibrium price($3) . So it is a binding price floor
Suppose that real GDP grew more in Country A than in Country B last year.
a. Country A must have a higher standard of living than country B.
b. Country A's worker productivity must have grown faster than country B's.
c. Both of the above are correct.
d. None of the above are correct.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
The standard of living is calculated as real GDP / population. Even though the real GDP of country A grew faster than country B, country A's population might be higher than country B's making its standard of living lower.
To make a conclusion that the growth of country A's worker productivity grew faster, it must be assumed that population grew at the same rate in both countries

Ramon had AGI of $165,000 in 2020. He is considering making a charitable contribution this year to the American Heart Association, a qualified charitable organization. Determine the current allowable charitable contribution deduction in each of the following independent situations, and indicate the treatment for any amount that is not deductible currently. Identify any planning ideas to minimize Ramon's tax liability.
Answer:
the situations are missing, so I looked for similar questions:
a. A cash gift of $68,500.
In the current year, Ramon may deduct $68,500 since his charitable contribution is limited to $165,000.
b. A gift of OakCo stock worth $68,500 on the contribution date. Ramon had acquired the stock as an investment two years ago at a cost of $61,650.
The stock's value for determining the contribution is $68,500 (fair market value). The deduction for 2020 is $49,500 (30% of AGI). The remaining $19,000 for years.
c. A gift of a painting worth $68,500 that Ramon purchased three years ago for $61,650. The charity has indicated that it would sell the painting to generate cash to fund medical research.
The contribution is valued at $61,650 (the charity will sell the painting immediately). The amount deductible in the current year is $61,650.
Explanation:
The charitable contribution limit was increased to 100% of AGI for 2020 by the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act).
A perpetuity pays $170 per year and interest rates are 8.2 percent. How much would its value change if interest rates increased to 9.7 percent
Answer:
$320.59 decrease
Explanation:
The computation of the change in the value is shown below:
As we know that
The Value of perpetuity is
= Annual inflows ÷ interest rate
Current value is
= $170 ÷ 0.082
= $2,073.17
And,
New value is
= $170 ÷ 0.097
= $1,752.58
Now change in value is
= $2,073.17 - $1,752.58
= $320.59 decrease
We simply applied the above formula

Explain the digestion process of a complex carbohydrate by arranging the statements in the order that they occur.
a. The enzyme, amylase. which is present in saliva breaks potysaccharide chains into disaccharides.
b. Other enzymes in the small intestine further break the potysaccharide into monosaccharides.
c. You take a bite and to chew the complex carbohydrate into smaller pieces.
d. Amylase is deactivated by the low pH in the stomach.
e. Monosaccharides are absorbed through the intestinal wad.
Answer:
The digestion process of a complex carbohydrate:
c. You take a bite and to chew the complex carbohydrate into smaller pieces.
a. The enzyme, amylase. which is present in saliva breaks polysaccharide chains into disaccharides.
b. Other enzymes in the small intestine further break the polysaccharide into monosaccharides.
d. Amylase is deactivated by the low pH in the stomach.
e. Monosaccharides are absorbed through the intestinal wad.
Explanation:
The monosaccharides are produced last in the digestion process described above because it is the absorption of energy (glucose) into the body. It is at this stage that carbohydrate is metabolized within cells to create fuel. Then in the presence of oxygen, this important glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water, and finally energy is released as a byproduct.

Answer:
i would say b, the domestic pay more.
The process of taking cash flow that is received or paid in the future and stating that cash flow in present value terms is called discounting. A. True B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
The process of taking cash flow that is received or paid in the future and stating that cash flow in present value terms is called discounting.
Discounting is the opposite of Compounding because discounting measures what the value of future cash flow is worth in the present while compounding takes the present value into the future. Discounting generally points to a method of knowing the present value of cash flow. Discounting is an important tool due to how a business could know the present value of what the business spends and gains by comparing it to the future value of what is to be received.
The cash flow that is received or paid in the future is less than the present value of the cash flow and that depicts the time value of money.
Follows a summary of Gold Corp.'s cash flows ($ in millions) for the year ended Dec. 31, 2020: Cash received from: Customers $ 3,150 Interest on investments 290 Sale of land 190 Sale of Rowdy's common stock 780 Issuance of debt securities 2,900 Cash paid for: Interest on debt $ 390 Income tax 170 Debt principal reduction 2,400 Purchase of equipment 5,800 Purchase of inventory 1,900 Dividends on common stock 470 Operating expenses 680 Gold Corp would report net cash inflows (outflows) from investing activities for the period of:
Answer:
Only two of the listed activities classify as investing activities. The cash flow form investing activities = cash received form the sale of land + cash paid for the purchase of equipment = $190 - $5,800 = -$5,610
Explanation:
Customers $ 3,150 ⇒ operating activity
Interest on investments 290 ⇒ operating activity
Sale of land 190 ⇒ investing activity
Sale of Rowdy's common stock 780 ⇒ financing activity
Issuance of debt securities 2,900 ⇒ financing activity
Interest on debt $ 390 ⇒ operating activity
Income tax 170 ⇒ operating activity
Debt principal reduction 2,400 ⇒ financing activity
Purchase of equipment 5,800 ⇒ investing activity
Purchase of inventory 1,900 ⇒ operating activity
Dividends on common stock 470 ⇒ financing activity
Operating expenses 680 ⇒ operating activity
What type of buffer(s) (inventory, time, or capacity) would you expect to find in the following situations? a) A maker of custom cabinets b) A producer of automotive spare parts c) A hospital emergency room d) Wal-Mart e) Amazon f) A government contractor that builds submarines g) A bulk producer of various chemicals h) A maker of lawn mowers for K-mart and Target i) A freeway j) The space shuttle k) A business school
Answer:
a) A maker of custom cabinets ⇒ TIME, generally goods that are custom made take longer to produce and clients are aware of this.
b) A producer of automotive spare parts ⇒ CAPACITY, if more parts are needed, you will have to use spare capacity.
c) A hospital emergency room ⇒ CAPACITY, services cannot be stocked, therefore, the only possible buffer is capacity since they cannot make their patients wait in line (a dead person waiting in line is no longer a patient).
d) Wal-Mart ⇒ INVENTORY, whether a store is a brick and mortar or internet retailer, its cheapest safety stock (buffer) is generally inventory.
e) Amazon ⇒ INVENTORY, whether a store is a brick and mortar or internet retailer, its cheapest safety stock (buffer) is generally inventory.
f) A government contractor that builds submarines ⇒ TIME, submarines are very expensive and it takes years to build them, so a week more wouldn't make a difference.
h) A maker of lawn mowers for K-mart and Target ⇒ INVENTORY, the company probably knows when it is going to sell more, so it can add to its inventory of finished goods just in case.
i) A freeway ⇒ CAPACITY and then TIME, services cannot be stocked, and since it takes years to plan and build a highway or freeway, the only possible initial buffer is capacity. But once full capacity is reached, then the only buffer is time.
j) The space shuttle ⇒ INVENTORY, since you cannot go back to Earth just to get refueled, you must carry extra fuel just in case. The same for the rest of the stuff.
k) A business school ⇒ CAPACITY, services cannot be stocked, and no student will wait a few extra years just to get into the school that they love.
Lilliput is a country that has closed borders and does not import or export any goods or services; hence, they do not worry about trade with other countries. Total spending for the federal government of Lilliput for the last fiscal year was $4.71 billion. The country collected $4.83 billion in taxes during this same fiscal year. Assume government transfers were zero. Based on this information, what is Lilliput's budget balance
Answer: $0.12 billion
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question:
Total spending for Lilliput last fiscal year = $4.71 billion
Tax collected(Revenue)= $4.83 billion
Government transfers = $0
Lilliput's budget balance based on the information provided will be:
= (Taxes - Government transfers) - Government expenditures
= ($4.83 billion - $0) - $4.71 billion
= $0.12 billion
A share of Lash Inc.'s common stock just paid a dividend of $2.10. If the expected long-run growth rate for this stock is 5%, and if investors' required rate of return is 18.5%, what is the stock price
Answer:
P0 = $16.333333333 rounded off to $16.33
Explanation:
Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return
P0 = 2.1 * (1+0.05) / (0.185 - 0.05)
P0 = $16.333333333 rounded off to $16.33
Jen Rogers withdrew a total of $15,000 from her business during the current year. The entry needed to close the withdrawals account is:_________
A. Debit Income Summary and credit Cash for $31,000.
B. Debit Jen Rogers, Withdrawals and credit Cash for $31,000 Debit Income Summary and credit Jen Rogers, Withdrawals for $31,000.
C. Debit Jen Rogers, Capital and credit Jen Rogers, Withdrawals for $31,000.
D. Debit Jen Rogers, Withdrawals and credit Jen Rogers, Capital for $31,000.
Answer: C. Debit Jen Rogers, Capital and credit Jen Rogers, Withdrawals for $15,000
Explanation:
The options do not match the question. Correct answer is posted.
When closing the Withdrawal account at the end of the period, the withdrawals need to be accounted for from the capital invested by the investor because the withdrawals would reduce the capital balance.
To do this the Capital account should be debited to signify that it is reducing. The opposing entry therefore will be to credit the Withdrawals account.
Park competes with World by providing a variety of rides. sells tickets at $110 per person as a one-day entrance fee. Variable costs are $44 per person, and fixed costs $412,500 are per month. Under these conditions, the breakeven point in tickets is 6,250 and the breakeven point in sales dollars is $687,500.
Requirement
1. Suppose Park cuts its ticket price from to to increase the number of tickets sold. Compute the new breakeven point in tickets and in sales dollars. 2. Begin by selecting the formula labels and then entering the amounts to compute the number of tickets must sell to break even under this scenario
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs are $44 per person
Fixed costs $412,500
Let's suppose that the new selling price is $100.
To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 412,500 / (100 - 44)
Break-even point in units= 7,366 units
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 412,500 / (56/100)
Break-even point (dollars)= $736,607
Total Company North South Sales $ 600,000 $ 400,000 $ 200,000 Variable expenses 360,000 280,000 80,000 Contribution margin 240,000 120,000 120,000 Traceable fixed expenses 120,000 60,000 60,000 Segment margin 120,000 $ 60,000 $ 60,000 Common fixed expenses 50,000 Net operating income $ 70,000 Required: 1. Compute the companywide break-even point in dollar sales. 2. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region. 3. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.
Answer:
1. Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= $425,000
2. Break-even point in dollar sales for North region= $200,000
3. Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = $100,000
Explanation:
1. Computation of the companywide break-even point in dollar sales
First step is to find the Contribution margin ratio
Using this formula
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales
Contribution margin ratio:
Total company: ($240,000/$600,000)=0.4
North : ($120,000/$400,000)=0.4
South : ($120,000/$200,000)=0.6
Now let compute the Company wide break-even point in dollar sales using this formula
Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
Let plug in the formula
Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= ($120,000 + $50,000) / 0.4
Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= $425,000
2. Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region using this formula
Break-even point in dollar sales for North region = Traceable fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio
Let plug in the formula
Break-even point in dollar sales for North region= $60,000 / 0.3
Break-even point in dollar sales for North region= $200,000
3. . Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.
Using this formula
Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = Traceable fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio
Let plug in the formula
Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = $60,000 / 0.6
Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = $100,000
Assume Brad has a choice between two deposit accounts. Account WH has an annual percentage rate of 7.35% with interest compounded continuously. Account MW has an annual percentage rate of 7.45% with interest compounded monthly. Which account provides the highest effective annual return?
Answer: Account MW which compounds monthly provides a higher effective rate at 7.71%
Explanation:
Use the Effective Interest rate formula to see which offers the higher return.
Account WH;
Compounded continuously;
= e^(interest rate) - 1
= e^7.35% - 1
= 7.63%
Account MW
Compounded per month
= (( 1 + interest / compounding period) ^ period) - 1
= (( 1 + 7.45%/12) ^ 12) -1
= 7.71%
Novak Corp. developed the following information about its inventories in applying the lower of cost or market (LCM) basis in valuing inventories: Product Cost Market
A $139000 $146000
B 98000 93000
C 195000 198000
If Novak applies the LCM basis, the value of the inventory reported on the balance sheet would be:________
a. $442000
b. $432000
c. $437000
d. $427000
Answer: $427,000
Explanation:
Based on the Generally Accepted Accounting principles, to solve this question, the inventory have to be recorded based on the lower cost or net realizable value. This will therefore be:
A = $139,000
B = $93,000
C = $195,000
The value of the inventory reported on the balance sheet would be:
= $139,000 + $93,000 + $195,000
= $427,000
Lawn Master Company, a manufacturer of riding lawn mowers, has a projected income for the coming year as follows: Sales $ 44,000,000 Operating expenses: Variable expenses $ 28,600,000 Fixed expenses 7,700,000 Total expenses 36,300,000 Operating profit $ 7,700,000 Required: 1.

Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) 3. What is the breakeven point in sales dollars if the variable expenses increases by 9%
Answer:
Please see attached
Explanation:
• Break even point in sales dollars $22,000,000
• Required sales in dollars $48,150,000
• Break even point in sales dollars $34,010,600
See as attached, detailed solution to the questions above.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales $44,000,000
Variable expenses $ 28,600,000
Fixed expenses 7,700,000
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 7,700,000 / [(44,000,000 - 28,600,000)/44,000,000]
Break-even point (dollars)= $22,000,000
Now, we incorporate the desired profit of $9,152,500
Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= (7,700,000 + 9,152,500) /0.35
Break-even point (dollars)= $48,150,000
Finally, the new break-even point in dollars:
Total variable cost= 28,600,000*1.09= 31,174,000
Break-even point (dollars)= 7,700,000 / [(44,000,000 - 31,174,000) / 44,000,000]
Break-even point (dollars)= 7,700,000 / 0.2915
Break-even point (dollars)= $26,415,094.34
Goal-Setting, Expectancy, Reinforcement, and Equity Theory
Goal-Setting, Expectancy, Reinforcement, and Equity Theories all serve Theory Y managers in understanding how employees can be motivated at work. Employees seek interesting and challenging work in a fair work environment that allows for autonomy. There should be a system to engage everyone in the organization in goal setting and implementation as well as an expectation that effort expended will result in a positive outcome and be balanced from one employee to another (given the same work). Managers can also find success in fairness and a reward system that all employees value.
Goal-setting theory is based on the premise that employees are motivated when they are clear about the goals they are working toward.
