Answer:
b. the first action by itself raises U.S. net exports, the second action by itself lowers U.S. net capital outflow.
Explanation:
Net exports are equal to the difference between the value of a nation's total export of goods, services and the value of all the goods and services it imports.
U.S. net export raises as more British decide to vacation in the U.S. and U.S. net capital outflow reduces as the British purchase more U.S. Treasury bonds.
So, option b is correct.
Fremont Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $89 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 60% of direct labor cost. The unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
Direct materials $16
Direct labor 20
Factory overhead (25% of direct labor) 5
Total cost per unit $41
If Fremont Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 5% of the direct labor costs.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated September 30 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case.
b. Assuming there were no better alternative uses for the spare capacity, it would ______________ to manufacture the carrying cases. Fixed factory overhead is________to this decision.
Answer:
A.Total cost 41 93 (52)
B. It would be much better to manufacture the carrying cases .
While Fixed factory overhead is less important to this decision.
Explanation:
Fremont Computer Company Differential Analysis
Make Alternative 1: Buy Alternative 2:
Differential effect on net income
Alternative 1 : Alternative 2: Differential effect
Purchase Price - 89 (89)
Direct material 16 - 16
Direct labor 20 - 20
Variable 1 - 1
manufacture overhead (20×5%)
Fixed (5-1) 4 4 -
manufacture overhead
Total cost 41 93 (52)
The Company should choose Alternative 1
which is Make carrying case
B. It would be much better to manufacture the carrying cases.
While Fixed factory overhead is less important to this decision.
Therefore in make or buy decision the selling price of the product will be less important because the selling price was not provided which means it does not have effect on the decision of buy or make.

Henrie’s Drapery Service is investigating the purchase of a new machine for cleaning and blocking drapes. The machine would cost $102,990, including freight and installation. Henrie’s estimated the new machine would increase the company’s cash inflows, net of expenses, by $30,000 per year. The machine would have a five-year useful life and no salvage value.
Required:
a. Compute the machine's internal rate of return to the nearest whole percent.
b. Compute the machine's net present value. Use a discount rate of 16%. (Any cash outflows should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places.)
c. Suppose that the new machine would increase the company's annual cash inflows, net of expenses, by only $41,000 per year. Under these conditions, compute the internal rate of return to the nearest whole percent.
Answer:
A. 14%
B. NPV = $-4,761.19
C. 28%
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-102,990
Cash flow each year from year one to five = $30,000
IRR = 14%
The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Npv can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-102,990
Cash flow each year from year one to five = $30,000
I = 16%
NPV = $-4,761.19
IRR if cash flow is $41,000
Cash flow in year 0 = $-102,990
Cash flow each year from year one to five = $41,000
IRR = 28%
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Peterson Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,500,000 for indirect labor and $870,000 for factory utilities. The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base. If 92,000 machine hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The company's plantwide overhead rate is $47.5
Explanation:
The total planned overhead costs for next year=$3,500,000+$870,000=$ 4,370,000.00
machine hours as overhead allocation base is 92,000 hours
company's plantwide overhead rate =total planned overhead/overhead allocation base(machine hours)
company's plantwide overhead rate=4,370,000.00/92000=$47.5

An internal control system consists of the policies and procedures managers use to protect assets, ensure reliable accounting, promote efficient operations, and uphold company policies. It can prevent avoidable losses and help managers both plan operations and monitor company and human performance. Principles of good internal control include establishing responsibilities, maintaining adequate records, insuring assets and bonding employees, separating recordkeeping from custody of assets, dividing responsibilities for related transactions, applying technological controls, and performing regular independent reviews. Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires each of the following:
A. An effective internal control.
B. Light penalties for violators.
C. Auditors must evaluate internal controls.
D. Auditor's work overseen by Public Accounting Board.
Answer:
Options A and D.
Explanation:
Just like it is given in the question above, the concept of internal control system has to do with the regulations and policies that are being set by each companies/firms or agencies or bodies or business organization in order to increase their productivity and efficiency.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was enacted on the 30th day of the month of July in the year 2002 by the 107th United States of America congress and its main work or purpose is to make sure sure that there is reliability and transparency in financial and accounting institutions and also to protect investors.
When a breech is perceived, group of people will be appointed to conduct "An effective internal control" and also for the "Auditor's work overseen by Public Accounting Board."
Answer:
A. An effective internal control
C. Auditors must evaluate internal controls
Explanation:
SOX requires managers and auditors whose stock is publicly traded to have an effective internal control system, auditors must evaluate internal controls, violators may receive harsh penalties (not light penalties), and auditors’ work is overseen by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) (not by the Public Accounting Board).
Preston Woods has 17,500 shares of stock outstanding along with $408,000 of interest bearing debt. The market and book values of the debt are the same. The firm has sales of $697,000 and a profit margin of 6.8 percent. The tax rate is 35 percent, the debt-equity ratio is 40 percent, and the price-earnings ratio is 11.8. The firm has $130,000 of current assets of which $41,200 is cash. What is the enterprise value
Answer:
$ 926,072.80
Explanation:
The company's market capitalization can be computed using the price-earnings ratio of 11.8.
Net income(earnings after tax)=sales* profit margin=$697,000*6.8%=
$ 47,396.00
P/E ratio=market capitalization/net income
11.8=market capitalization/$ 47,396.00
market capitalization=11.8*$47,396.00
market capitalization=$ 559,272.80
Enterprise value=market capitalization+debt-cash
enterprise value=$ 559,272.80+$408,000.00-41,200=$ 926,072.80

Suppose Nike's managers were considering expanding into producing sports beverages. Why might the company decide to do this under the Nike brand name? The cost of producing sports beverages along with its current products under the Nike brand name is less than the cost of producing sports beverages under a new brand name plus the cost of producing Nike's current products under the Nike brand name. The cost of producing sports beverages along with its current products under the Nike brand name is greater than the cost of producing sports beverages separately under a new brand name plus the cost of producing Nike's current products under the Nike brand name.
Answer:
Te correct answer is the first option: The cost of producing sports beverages along with its current products under the Nike brand name is less than the cost of producing sports beverages under a new brand name plus the cost of producing Nike's current products under the Nike brand name
Explanation:
To begin with, the fact that the managers are looking forward to expand the business and to aggregate sports beverages indicates that the company is doing good in the sales and therefore they have margin to invest in a plan like that. Secondly, the fact that they do it under Nike's name will cost them less than doing it otherwise due the fact that they will not have to pay for a new name and all the registrations and patents that the strategy involves. They will only need to register the new product and even more they would have all the marketing campaign focus on the same audience and will find strength in using the brand and name of Nike for that, in terms of publicity.
Your Competitive Intelligence team reports that a wave of product liability lawsuits is likely to cause Baldwin to pull the product Bat entirely off the market this year. Assume Baldwin scraps all capacity and inventory this round, completely writing off those assets and escrowing the proceeds to a settlement fund, and assume these lawsuits will have no effect on any other products of Baldwin or other companies. Without Baldwin's product Bat how much can the industry currently produce in the Core segment
Answer:
11550
Explanation:
The computation of industry current produced in the core segment is shown below:
As there are five companies in the core segment i.e Abby, Brat, Bat, Cent , and Clack
First, we have to compute the total production capacity which is
Companies Primary Segment Capacity Next Round
Abby Core 2150
Brat Core 1250
Bat Core 1500
Cent Core 1098
Clack Core 1027
Total Capacity 7025
Now
segment without Brat.
So,
Production Capacity
= 7025 - 1250
= 5775
Moreover, the company work in two shifts
So, the production capacity is
= 5775 × 2
= 11550

Which of the elements of this scenario represent a flow from a household to a firm? This could be a flow of dollars, inputs, or outputs.
1. The $300 per week Paolo earns working for Spotless Car Wash
2. The $200 Paolo spends to purchase software from PC Pros
3. Sharon's labor
Answer:
First Question
1. B
2. A
3. B
Second Question
The $200 Paolo spends to purchase software from PC Pros.
Explanation:
1. Paolo's transaction falls under the product market cash flow because he wittingly spends on a product–the software.
2. Paolo's earnings comes to the resource market, since he is been paid for his human resourcefulness in the organization.
3. Sharon's payment for washing her car is best placed on the Product market flow since she is spending on a personal product–the car.
The $200 Paolo spends to purchase software from PC Pros in this scenario represent a flow from a household to a firm because he (an individual belonging to a household) transfers his money to the firm.

The integration of flower farming in Kenya into global economy creates additional pressure for the ecosystem and the environment in Kenya. The major concern is due to the following.
A. More pollution in Naivasha lake
B. Less water resources for locals
C. extensive use to water flowers
D. All of these
Answer: D. All of these
Explanation:
Lake Naivasha has seen a huge rise in pollution due to the integration of the Kenya flower farming industry. This is due to the chemicals and fertilizers used to farm the flowers. Indeed in the year, Researchers estimate that due to a torrential rainfall that hit the area, millions of fish and aquatic life died when fertilizers and chemicals were washed into the lake.
The use of water from the lake for flower farming has also reduced the amount of water available to locals. This as well as the massive increase in the population of area as people come from far and wide to work for the flower farms have also increased the usage of the lake thereby reducing what is left for the locals.
Used in farming are water flowers and their overuse have led to their numbers dropping as well.

Brazil is almost self-sufficient in ethanol. Brazilian ethanol is made from sugar and costs 83cents per gallon whereas U.S. ethanol, made from corn, costs $1.14 per gallon. The United States has set a zero quota on imports of ethanol, so it does not import ethanol. Source: The New York Times, April 12, 2006 Which country has a comparative advantage in producing ethanol? Explain why both the United States and Brazil can gain from specialization and trade.
Answer:
Brazil has comparative advantage in Ethanol.
Both US & Ethanol can gain from trade, if they specialise in their good of comparative advantage & import the other at lower opportunity cost.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is when an economy can produce a good with lesser opportunity cost than other economy.
Brazil can produce ethanol at lower opportunity cost, as it uses lesser resources to produce Ethanol, compared to US.
So, Brazil has comparative advantage in producing ethanol. Both US & Brazil can gain from specialisation : As, US can get more ethanol at lesser than domestic opportunity cost. And, Brazil can also gain from trade by importing the good in which US has better opportunity cost & comparative advantage, in exchange of exported ethanol. It would imply Brazil would get more of the other good at lesser than domestic opportunity cost.

Abe and Bea each have some money to invest in a CD (Certificate of Deposit). Abe has $5,000 and Bea has $20,000. Both are interested in making a 6-month investment at Synchrony Bank. The CD rates for Synchrony Bank (as of July 8, 2015) are as listed below. With 0.41% interest, Abe would get $5,010 in six months. With 0.50% interest, Bea would get $20,050 at the end of six months. If they pool their funds, they will be able to purchase a $25,000 CD, which pays a higher interest rate. The 0.60% interest will return $25,075 at the end of six months. Obviously, Abe gets back his $5,000 principle, and Bea gets back her $20,000 principle. How should the $75 interest be divided between the two of them
Answer:
Abe = $17.5
Bae = $57.5
Explanation:
Abe's principle = $5,000
Bea's principle = $ 20,000
Abe individual investment yield at 0.41% = (5010-5000) = $10
Bae's individual investment yield at ) 0.50%= (20000-20050) $50
Combined investment yield at 6 % = (25,075 - (20,000+5000) = $75
Extra interest yield = (75-(50+10) = $15
The extra interest yield of $15 should be shared equally among Abe and Bae as a result of joint effort
= 15/2 - $7.5
Therefore , the $75 interest is shared as below
Abe = $10 (interest on individual principle)+$7.5 = $17.5
Bae = $50 (interest on individual principle)+$7.5 = $57.5
Payback period was the earliest -Select- selection criterion. The -Select- is a "break-even" calculation in the sense that if a project's cash flows come in at the expected rate, the project will break even. The equation is:
Answer: 1. Capital Budgeting
2. Payback Period
3. Number of Years Prior to Full Recovery + (Unrecovered Cost at Start of Year / Cash flow during the year)
Explanation:
Payback period was the earliest Capital Budgeting selection criterion. The Payback Period is a "break-even" calculation in the sense...
The Payback period is one of the most simple methods in Capital Budgeting and the earliest as well. It simply checked how long it would take to pay back an investment which made it very alluring to investors who wanted to know how long it would be till they started getting a profit.
It therefore essentially checked when the project would Break-Even.
The formula is,
Number of Years Prior to Full Recovery + (Unrecovered Cost at Start of Year / Cash flow during the year)
This means that to calculate the Payback Period, for example, say the investment was $500 and the project brought in $120 for 5 years.
That would mean that in year 4 it would have brought it $480. Year 4 is the Number of Years prior to Full recovery.
The $20 left is the Unrecovered cost at the start of the year and the Cashflow for the year is $120. The Payback is therefore,
= 4 + (20/120)
= 4.17

Liabilities = $41,500
Expense incurred during year = $3,700
So, we can calculate the total amount of liabilities by using the following formula:
Liabilities at the end of the year = Liabilities + Expense incurred
Liabilities at the end of the year = $41,500 + $3,700
= $45,200
. Suppose Stevie'sStevie's expectation to sell one standard scooter for every three chrome scooters was incorrect and for every four scooters sold two are standard scooters and two are chrome scooters. Will the breakeven point of total scooters increase or decrease? Why? (Calculation not required.)
Answer:
It depends upon the contribution per unit of each product or in other words it depends on composite contribution per unit.
Explanation:
The composition matters a lot because of the fact that every product has its own contribution per unit. So if the product chrome has $1 contribution per unit and standard scooter has $2 contribution per unit. Also suppose that $6 is the total fixed cost. Then the priority to sell must be standard scooter, because it has higher contribution. Secondly if we only sell chrome scooters then total 6 ($6 fixed cost - 6 units * $1 contribution per unit) units must be sold and if we only sell standard scooters then only 3 ($6 fixed cost - 3 units * $2 contribution per unit) units must be sold to breakeven. Suppose, if we reduce standard scooters from 3 scooters to 2 units ($6 fixed cost - 2 units * $2 contribution per unit) then their will be loss of $2 which can be reduced to zero by selling 2 chrome scooters ($2 loss - 2 units * $1 contribution per unit).
So this is how contribution per unit affects the composite breakeven units and most important thing is that if the composite contribution per unit has increased then the breakeven units will decrease and vice versa.
Suppose you want to invest $10,000. You have two options: Option #1: Invest in municipal bonds with an expected return of 8.00%, or Option #2: Invest in the corporate bonds of Jefferson & Alexander Inc. which are offering an expected return of 10.00% Assume that your decision is based solely on your tax situation. If everything else is the same for both bonds, at what tax rate would you be indifferent between these two bond investments?
Answer: 20%
Explanation:
Municipal Bonds are generally not taxed so if you invest in the Municipal bond, the tax rate does not affect you.
The tax rate therefore that will make you indifferent between the 2 options is the one that will take the Corporate bond returns of Jefferson to 8% so that both bonds may give you the same return after tax.
Assuming that tax rate is 'x' then,
8 = 10 (1 - x)
8 = 10 - 10x
10x = 10 - 8
10x = 2
x = 20%
At a tax rate of 20%, the Corporate bonds give an 8% return.
Gomez runs a small pottery firm. He hires one helper at $16,500 per year, pays annual rent of $6,000 for his shop, and spends $22,500 per year on materials. He has $40,000 of his own funds invested in equipment (pottery wheels, kilns, and so forth) that could earn him $5,000 per year if alternatively invested. He has been offered $19,500 per year to work as a potter for a competitor. He estimates he could use his talents to earn an additional $5,500 per year in consulting fees if he were working full time as a potter. Total annual revenue from pottery sales is $89,000.Calculate the accounting profit and the economic profit for Gomez's pottery firm.
Accounting profit = ?
Economic profit = ?
Answer:
$44,000
$14,000
Explanation:
Accounting profit is total revenue less total explicit cost.
Accounting profit = Revenue - Explicit cost
Total explicit cost = $16,500 + $6,000 + $22,500 = $45,000
Total revenue = $89,000
Accounting profit = $89,000 - $45,000 = $44,000
Economic profit is accounting profit less implicit cost or opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
Opportunity cost = $5,500 + $19,500 + $5,000 = $30,000
Economic profit = $44,000 - $30,000 = $14,000

A university spent $1.3 million to install solar panels atop a parking garage. These panels will have a capacity of 200 kilowatts (kW) and have a life expectancy of 20 years. Suppose that the discount rate is 30%, that electricity can be purchased at $0.30 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), and that the marginal cost of electricity production using the solar panels is zero.
Hint: It may be easier to think of the present value of operating the solar panels for 1 hour per year first.
Approximately how many hours per year will the solar panels need to operate to enable this project to break even?
Answer:
It will take 6,534.31 hours per year for the solar panels to operate to enable this project to break even
Explanation:
Discount rate = 30% = 0.3
Looking at one hour of operation in each year = 200 kW x $0.30 Kw/hr
= $60 value of electricity per year
Compound interest factor for a discount rate of 30% = 3.3158
(taken from compound interest factor table or computed using formula ∑1/(1+r)^t , where r = 30%, and t = 1 to 30)
Present value of operating the solar panels for 1 hour per year = 60 × 3.3158 = $ 198.95
For break even it would need to run = 1.3 million ÷ 198.95
= 6,534.31 hours per year
If a fixed asset, such as a computer, were purchased on January 1st for $1,832.00 with an estimated life of 6 years and a salvage or residual value of $123.00, what is the journal entry for monthly expense under straight-line depreciation?
Answer:
Dr depreciation expense $ 23.74
Cr accumulated depreciation $ 23.74
Explanation:
The depreciation per month would be first thing to determine:
Yearly depreciation =Cost of asset-residual value/useful life
cost of asset is $1,832.00
residual value which is disposal value at the end of useful life is $123.00
Useful life is 6 years
yearly depreciation charge= ($1,832.00-$123.00)/6=$ 284.83
Monthly depreciation expense=yearly depreciation charge/12=$284.83/12=$23.74
The journal entry monthly would be a debit to depreciation expense and a credit to accumulated depreciation

Lily wants to build a business. She has very little capital. She does, however, have a partner with which she could run a business. Lily wants to be able to avoid being held personally liable for any problems the business has. Which of the following would lead Lily to choose a sole proprietorship organization for her business?
a. Possession of a partner
b. Little capital
c. Avoidance of personal liability
d. None of the above
Answer:
The correct answer is option (b) Little capital
Explanation:
Solution
With a little capital this will help Lily to choose a sole proprietorship organization for her business. a sole proprietorship can begin with a little capital.
The option (a) is not correct as possession of a partner will not lead her to start a sole proprietorship business.
Also the option (c) is not correct the avoidance of personal liability is not the reason because in sole proprietorship, Lily will be liable for her debts.
17. A global strategy for a company would include a. Products tailored to local tastes and needs, with local sourcing. b. A standardized product available without any local responsiveness. c. Patents and copyrights that are designed to promote maximum innovation. d. All of the above.
Answer: b. A standardized product available without any local responsiveness.
Explanation:
A global strategy refers to when a company aims to expand across the globe. One of the strategies is known as Standardisation.
This is a policy where the company that hopes to expand decides that it wants to make a standard product that is the same the world over. By not making it available without local responsiveness ( differentiating it by adding local features to it), the company signals that they want their product to be the same around the world.
It is very useful to some companies such as Apple which has the iPhone around the world with no local customisation and Dominoes Pizza which aims to have their pizza taste the same the world over.

Yes, because Cold Goose Metal Works’s ownership stake in Fat Fox Smelters is greater than or equal to 80%, as required by the U.S. Tax Code.
Answer:
Cold Goose Metal Works and Fat Fox Smelting Corp.
Yes, because Cold Goose Metal Works’s ownership stake in Fat Fox Smelters is greater than or equal to 80%, as required by the U.S. Tax Code.
Explanation:
The total percentage of shares owned by Cold Goose Metal Works is 83% (207,500/250,000 x 100). This is more than 80% required.
The relevant section supporting the above is
"Section (2) 80-per cent voting and value test: The ownership of stock of any corporation meets the requirements of this paragraph if it—

Piper's Pizza sold baking equipment for $25,000. The equipment was originally purchased for $72,000, and depreciation through the date of sale totaled $51,000. What was the gain or loss on the sale of the equipment
Answer:
The gain on disposal is of $4000
Explanation:
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we first need to calculate the Carrying value, also known as the Net Book Value, of the asset at the time of sale. The Carrying value is calculated using the following formula,
Carrying Value or NBV = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
Carrying Value or NBV = 72000 - 51000
Carrying Value or NBV = $21000
If the asset is sold for more than its carrying value, there is a gain on disposal. If it is sold for less than its carrying value, there is a loss on disposal.
As the asset was sold for $25000 which is more than its carrying value of $21000, there is a gain on disposal.
Gain on disposal = 25000 - 21000 = $4000 Gain
