With locations around the country, each center consists of a manager and several tutor and counselors. The counselors and tutor have a great deal of flexibility to design programs specifically for individual students. In fact, these first-line employees are considered to be the key people in the organization, and the manager's main function is to assist these employees in matters such as scheduling and securing necessary materials. This type of arrangement suggests that School Days is an inverted organization.A. TrueB. False
Answer:
1. False
2. False
3. d. centralizing its decision making to better control its total quality management program
4. a.
5. True
Explanation:
1. Remember, a skimming strategy does the opposite–where a company chooses the highest possible price not the lowest price for their product when entering the market.
2. Indeed, this has impacted on production techniques in recent years. For example, from labour intensive car factories in the past we now have fully automated car factories that require very few workforce.
3. Remember, centralization results when there are fewer people in the line of authority. Therefore, if Brights Electronics decision to reorganize and significantly trim its middle management would result in centralized decision making and a better control its total quality management program.
4. Note that the promotional mix involves target based marketing, therefore each target market may have unique characteristics. And to attract each target market would involve establishing a promotional strategy that can reach multiple targets rather than developing a separate promotion mix for each target group.
5. An inverted organization is one that has a reversal from the normal line of authority found in most organization. Instead of top to bottom it now bottom to top. This implies that the manager who normally would play major role in deciding strategies to be taken doesn't, but the bottom line employees performs that responsibility. Thus, School Days Center can be rightly called an inverted organization.
Ben has two options this weekend. He could work at his job and earn $8 per hour for three hours, or he could go to an exhibit at the art museum for that three hours. A ticket for the event costs $30. What is the opportunity cost of the event?
Answer:
Opportunity cost= -$54
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
He could work at his job and earn $8 per hour for three hours, or he could go to an exhibit at the art museum for those three hours. A ticket for the event costs $30.
The opportunity cost is the "cost" of not taking other alternatives.
Opportunity cost= total revenue - economic profit

s) A system has four processes and five types of allocatable resources. The current allocation and maximum needs are as follows: Allocated Maximum Available Process A 2 1 0 2 2 4 2 2 3 3 3 2 x 2 3 Process B 3 1 1 0 2 3 3 6 1 2 Process C 2 1 0 2 1 3 2 3 3 1 Process D 1 1 0 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 What is the smallest value of x for which this is a safe state? Show all steps.
Answer:
The smallest value of x is 5 which leads to a safe state.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Process Available Maximum Request = Max-Available
A [2 ,1 ,0 ,2, 2] [4, 2,2, 3, 3] [2,1,2,1,1]
B [3 ,1, 1, 0 ,2] [3 ,3 ,6 ,1 ,2] [0,2,5,1,0]
C [2 ,1 ,0 ,2 ,1 ] [3 ,2 ,3 ,3 ,1] [1,1,3,1,0]
D [1, 1, 0, 1, 0 ] [1, 2, 3, 2 ,1 ] [0,1,3,1,1]
Available = 3,2,x,2,3 ⇒ x has to be determined.
Now
consider x=1 then Available = 3,2,1,2,3
It can't satisfy A,B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 2
Consider x=2 then Available = 3,2,2,2,3
It can't satisfy B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 3
Thus
consider x=3 then Available = 3,2,3,2,3
It can't satisfy D since the minimum value of x among those is 5
Then
consider x=5 then Available = 3,2,5,2,3
It can satisfy A,B,C,D
Therefore, the minimum value of x is 5. So, that it leads to a safe state.

FOR BUS LAW I
Certain that Al Gore would emerge victorious from the post-election chaos, Melvin's Decorations ordered 50,000 "President Al Gore" medallions from Medallions, Inc. on December 1, 2000 for $5 per medallion. Delivery was to be on January 10, 2001. By that date, the value of the medallions had fallen to $1 per medallion. Melvin's Decorations refused to accept the medallions because it was clear that George Bush would keep the presidency, and Medallions, Inc. sued for Melvin’s breach. What can Medallions recover? (Assume that there was nothing wrong with the medallions and that Melvin's did breach the contract).
A.
Medallions' lost profit on the deal.
B.
The difference between the contract price and the market price.
C.
Either A or B.
D.
Neither A nor B.
Answer:
A. Medallions' lost profit on the deal.
Explanation:
Since Melvin's Decorations breached the contract they had with Medallions, the non breaching party is entitled to sue for compensatory monetary damages. Courts will generally assign compensatory damages that cover the losses incurred due to the contract breach, i.e. the amount of money that medallion would have made as a profit if Melvin's decoration had purchased and paid for the medallions.
Brief Exercise 233 Kinney Company purchased a truck for $66,000. The company expected the truck to last four years or 100,000 miles, with an estimated residual value of $8,000 at the end of that time. During the second year the truck was driven 27,000 miles. Compute the depreciation for the second year under each of the methods below and place your answers in the blanks provided.Units-of-activity $_________
Double-declining-balance $_________
Answer:
$15,660
$16,500
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1 / useful life)
2 x (1 / 4 ) = 0.5
The depreciation expense in the first year = 0.5 x $66,000 = $33,000
Book value = $66,000 - $33,000 = $33,000
The depreciation expense in the second year = 0.5 x $33,000 = $16,500
The Units of production method = (miles driven in the second year / estimated total miles that can be driven) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(27,000 / 100,000) × ($66,000 - $8,000)
= 0.27 x $58,000 = $15,660

Sparky Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 34,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 119,000. Units completed and transferred out: 153,000. Ending Inventory: 34,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 35% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $52,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $57,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $349,625. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $608,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer:
The cost per equivalent unit of materials is $2.28
Explanation:
The Concept of Equivalent units measures the number of units complete to the extent of the input elements added during production.
The FIFO method in Process costing Accounts for Costs only incurred during the Manufacturing Period. Also, The Opening Work In Process is Assumed to be completed first.
The First Step is to Calculate the Total Equivalent Units of Production for Raw Materials :
To finish Opening Work In Process (34,000 × 0%) = 0
Started and Completed ((153,000 - 34,000) × 100% ) = 119,000
Closing Work In Process (34,500 × 100%) = 34,500
Total Equivalent Units of Production = 153,500
The Next and Final Step is to calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost During the Current Period / Total Equivalent Units of Production
= $349,625 / 153,500
= $2.2776872
= $2.28 (2 decimal places)
Conclusion :
The cost per equivalent unit of materials is $2.28
You are an owner of a bakery, and you meet with other neighborhood bakery owners. In an attempt to increase sales, you collectively decide to lower prices by 10%. Which of the following are consequences of this price change?
A. The supply of fresh baked goods will decrease.
B. The quantity supplied of fresh baked goods will decrease.
C. Demand for processed baked goods will decrease.
D. The supply of fresh baked goods will increase.
E. The demand for fresh baked goods will not change.
F. The demand for fresh baked goods will increase.
Answer:
The quantity supplied of fresh baked goods will decrease ( B )
Demand for processed baked goods will decrease. ( C )
The demand for fresh baked goods will not change ( E )
Explanation:
When the neighbourhood bakery owners agree to lower prices of goods by 10% it will not have any effect on the demand for fresh baked goods hence the demand for fresh baked goods will not change because the demand for fresh baked goods have an in-elastic curve
Also since there is s drop in price the quantity supplied by the suppliers will decrease. while The demand for processed baked goods will decrease because of the substitute it has in fresh baked goods that just got its price slashed by 10%

Journalize the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts as of July 31. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank. July 31
Answer:
bad debt expense 97,866 debit
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 97,866 credit
Explanation:
We are given the table for the aging method from which we extract the
Total for Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 106,106
Now, as currently the allwoance for doubtful accounts has a balance of 8,240 we need to adjust to make up the difference
106,106 adjusted balance - 8,240 current balance = 97,866 adjustment
we will credit the allowance and recognzie this amount of bad debt expense
This way we are matching our net account receivables with our estimation of what we expect to collect
A corporate CEO wished to relay good news about the prospect of a new technology being created, but was reluctant to do so. Instead, the CEO announces that the firm has decided to increase its dividend. This story is illustrative of what view of dividend relevancy
Answer:
Information signaling
Explanation:
Information signalling is defined as the various actions a firm takes that communicates it's financial outlook. For example if a firm releases a dividend policy it communicates the value of the firm's stock.
In this scenario the CEO announced increase in the firm's dividend. This will convey to investors that the company has a competitive advantage which will result in additional income, so dividends are being raised.
It is an indirect way of announcing good news about the prospect of a new technology being created.
Proposal #2 would establish local collection centers throughout the region to decrease the time it takes to convert credit payments that are mailed in by check to cash. It is estimated that establishing these collection centers would reduce the average collection time by 2 days.If the company currently averages $60,000 in collections per day, how many dollars will this suggested cash management system free up?If all freed up dollars would be used to pay down debt that has an interest rate of 5%, how much money could be saved each year in interest expense?Do the numbers suggest that this new system should be implemented if its total annual cost is $5200? Explain.
Answer: a. $120,000
b. $6,000
c. Yes
Explanation:
a. It is said that the collection centres would help reduce the collection time by 2 days and that every day $60,000 comes in.
If the proposal will reduce the amount of time taken to collect by 2 days then that means that the amount freed up is the amount that they would have collected in two days had it not been for the system.
That amount would be,
= $60,000 * 2
= $120,000
b. If they used this free up cash to pay off a debt that was accumulating 5% per year then the 5% will be saved.
The amount saved therefore is,
= 120,000 * 5%
= $6,000
By retiring a $120,000 that was accruing $6,000 a year, the proposal has enabled that $6,000 to be saved instead.
c. The cost of implementing this proposal is $5,200 per year and yet the savings it gives in interest is $6,000.
As the savings are higher than the cost, the number definitely suggest that the project should be implemented because it is more beneficial than it costs.

Risk Free Loans $
What is the projected total annual return? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
$
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the amount invested in:
Automobile loans be Xa,
Furniture Loans be Xf,
Other Secured Loans be Xo,
Signature loans be Xs, &;
Risk-free loans be Xr
In reference on the Annual returns rate given;
Total annual returns = 8%×Xa + 10%×Xf + 11%×Xo + 12%×Xs + 9%×Xr
The various constraints given can be written as follows:
Xa + Xf + Xo + Xs + Xr = 1,600,000-----Constraint for amount available for investment
Xr = 30%*1,600,000 ----- Constraint for maximum risk free investment
Xs = 10%*(Xa + Xf + Xo + Xs) ----- Constraint for maximum amount in signature loans
Xf + Xo = Xa ------- Constraint for Furniture and other secured loans
Xo + Xs = Xr ------ Constraint for other secured loans and signature loans
Using the Excel Formula for solving this;
we have the following result.
Automobile Loans $ 504,000
Furniture Loans $ 136,000
Other Secured Loans $ 368,000
Signature Loans $ 112,000
Risk-Free Loans $ 480,000
The projected total annual return = $ 151,040
The computation of the excel formula on how we arrived at those valid figures above is shown in the attached files below.

Berk Company produces three products: Tic, Tac, and Toe. Tic requires 160 machine setups, Tac requires 150 setups, and Toe requires 190 setups. Berk has identified an activity cost pool with allocated overhead of $32,000 for which the cost driver is machine setups. How much overhead is assigned to the Tic product?
Answer:
Overhead assigned to Tic= $10,240
Explanation:
Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers.
Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.
Activity rate per driver is calculated as:
Activity overhead for the period / Total cost drivers for the period
Set -up activity overhead = $32,000
Total expected cost drivers for activity set up = sum of the set ups for the three products
Total set ups= 160 +150 + 190 = 500 set ups
Overhead rate per set up
= $32,000/500 set ups
= $64 per set up
Overhead assigned to Tic = Overhead rate per set up × No of setups for TIC
= $64 per setup ×160=$10,240
Overhead assigned to Tic= $10,240

A series of five constant-dollar (or real-dollar) uniform payment of $897.63 is made begining at the end of first year. Assume that the general inflation rate is 18.3% and the market interest rate is 18.3% during this inflationary period.
The equivalent present worth of the series is:_________.
Answer:
The equivalent present worth of the series is $4,182.21
Explanation:
Fix periodic payments for a specific period of time are annuity payment and the payments made at the start of each period is known as advance annuity.
As per given data
Inflation per year = 18.3% / 5 = 3.66%
numbers of period = 5 years
Payment per period = $897.63
Use following formula to calculate the present value of annuity payments
PV of annuity = P x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n / r
Where
P = Payment per period = $897.63
r = rate in of interest = 3.66%
n = numbers of periods = 5 years
Placing values in the formula
Equivalent present worth of the series = $897.63 + $897.63 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 3.66% )^-(5-1) / 3.66% )
Equivalent present worth of the series = $4,182.21
In Year 1, Sandy and Chris have adjusted gross income of $200,000. During the year, they provided more than half of the support for both of their unmarried adult children, Megna and Britt. Both children live near the colleges they are attending. Megna is a 25-year-old full-time graduate student with no earned income. Britt is a 22-year-old part-time student with $15,000 earned income from a part-time job. What is the total amount of child tax credit (including credit for other dependents), if any, that Sandy and Chris can claim on their Year 1 joint income tax return
Answer: $1,000
Explanation:
Even though Megna and Britt are above the age of 17 and as such do not qualify for the child tax credit, they qualify for the Credit for Other Dependants.
Under this Credit, $500 can be deducted per dependant if certain conditions are fulfilled such as the dependents having a valid American identity number such as ATIN, ITIN, or SSN.
The dependants have to be your children or elderly parents.
With $500 in credit available per dependant and Sandy and Chris having 2 dependants in Megna and Britt, they can get a credit of $1,000 for the both of them.
In each of the following cases, what is the effect on the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve? An increase in firm costs A. does not shift the SRAS curve. B. shifts the SRAS curve upward. C. shifts the SRAS curve downward. An increase in the money supply A. does not shift the SRAS curve. B. shifts the SRAS curve downward. C. shifts the SRAS curve upward. An increase in consumption A. shifts the SRAS curve upward. B. does not shift the SRAS curve. C. shifts the SRAS curve downward.
Answer: 1. B. shifts the SRAS curve upward.
2. A. does not shift the SRAS curve.
3. B. does not shift the SRAS curve.
Explanation:
1. When Firm costs rise, the input cost for Producers rises and they respond by reducing production so as to reduce the cost of production. This reduction causes a reduction in Supply that forces the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve to shift left (upward).
2. This change in the Money Supply means that there will be more money for households to spend. This increases demand but does not have any direct influence on the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve.
3. An Increase in consumption means that there is greater demand for goods and services in an Economy. Indirectly this will cause producers to ramp up production to meet these needs but directly, there is no influence on the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve.
Sally makes deposits into a retirement account every year from the age of 30 until she retires at age 65. a) If Sally deposits $ 1100$1100 per year and the account earns interest at a rate of 9 %9% per year, compounded annually, how much does she have in the account when she retires? b) How much of that total amount is from Sally's deposits? How much is interest?
Answer:
a)
Balance of account at retirement = $237,281.83
b)
Total Deposited amount = $38,500
Interest Amount = $198,781.83
Explanation:
A fix periodic payments for the specific period of time is the annuity payment. Deposit of $1,100 per year in retirement account is annuity payment.
a)
We can calculate the balance of account on retirement by using following formula
Future Value of Annuity = P x ( 1 + r )^n - 1 / r
Where
P = Periodic payments = $1,100
r = 9%
n = 65 years - 30 years = 35 years
Placing values in the formula
Balance of account at retirement = $1,100 X ( 1 + 9% )^35 - 1 / 9%
Balance of account at retirement = $237,281.83
b)
Total Deposited amount = $1,100 x 35 = $38,500
Interest Amount = Balance of account at retirement - Total Deposited amount = $237,281.83 - $38,500 = $198,781.83

Tax paid for first will be :
$43,850 ×15%
=$6,577.5
Taxable income $124,050
($230,000-$105,950)
Taxable payable $38,455.5
($124,050*31%)
Remaining tax payable $13,041
($58,074-$6,577.5-$38,455.5)
÷
Remaining taxable income $62,100
($105,950-$43,850)
Tax rate between $43,850 and 105,950 will be:
$13,041÷$62,100
=0.21×100
=21%
Consider the market for iced coffee. Suppose that the price of an iced coffee falls from $4.25 to $3.50. Assuming that the point on the graph below corresponds to the initial price of $4.25, move the point to a new position on the curve to show the impact of this price change (holding everything else constant).
Answer:
The fall in the price of iced coffee from $4.25 to $3.50 will cause demand to grow.
Explanation:
This is because the market demand curve for any good is downward sloping: the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded, and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
So this fall in price will move the equilibrium quantity (the point where supply and demand meet) to move to a point on the demand curve that is below the previous point.
g edna had an accident while competing in a rodeo. She sustained facial injuries that required cosmetic surgery. While having the surgery done to restore her appearance, she had additional surgery done to reshape her chin, which was not injured in the accident. The surgery to restore her appearance cost $ 9,000 and the surgery to reshape her chin cost $ 6,000. How much of Edna's surgical fees will qualify as a deductible medical expense (before application of the 10% -of-AGI floor)?

The Stone stock was acquired in 2009 at a cost of $80,000. At the exchange date, Stone common stock had a fair value of $45 per share, and the patent had a net carrying value of $160,000 on Gore's books. Cole should record the patent at:
Answer:
$135000
Explanation:
Cole should record the patent at $135000. The intangible asset is recorded at the price at which it was purchased. Net carrying value of $160000 in the books of seller is not useful.
At the time of purchase of intangible asset, the fair value of stone stock exchanged was $45.
So the patent cost is =
3000 shares × $45 per share = $135000.
Cole should record the patent at this value.
