Answer: B) Lily's nephew cut his finger with the knife that was negligently kept in Lily's kitchen.
Explanation:
James as the landlord will be responsible for the structural or other defects of the house so long as it is the house that is the problem.
Activities that go on inside a tenants house that are caused by the actions of the tenants will not be a liability on the path of the landlord.
If an elevator is damaged or there weren't enough fire extinguishers or there was a broken step or poor quality paint was used, these are all defects related to the house itself and as such will result in negligence on the part of the landlord.
A child getting injured by a knife that Lily as a tenant left, in her apartment will.be the fault of Lily and the negligence can only be on her because it was due to actions by her as a tenant in her leased property.

Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
The question seeks to find out the activity level of the above mentioned activities.
There are various activities in an organization and as such they need to be categorized. The various categories include Unit, Batch, Product, Customer, and Organizational.
Unit Activities refer to activities done on a unit level. A singular product level. They include things like putting a logo on a bottle or deriving a single person at a restaurant.
Batch Activities refer to activities done when Units are grouped together and form a batch. Activities done to that batch fall under here.
Product Level Activities refer to those done on a product wide scale. That means that when the entire product is affected, it falls under here. Examples include Product Advertising or Recall.
Customer Level Activities refer to those that an organization engages in for those entities that patronize them. Such activities are very important because the customer is the most important aspect of the business.
Then there are the Organizational level Activities. As the name implies, these are activities at an Organization wide level.
Classifying the above therefore,
A. Setting up a machine for a production run of 500 units. BATCH LEVEL ACTIVITY.
This deals with a group of units, 500 to be precise and so is a batch level activity.
B. Conducting a seminar for local doctors on the benefits of a new drug. PRODUCT LEVEL.
This seminar will speak on the product being the drug as a whole therefore it is product level.
C. Embossing a company logo on every product made. UNIT LEVEL.
This involves an individual unit at a time and so is at Unit Level.
D. Seating a party of 11 at a restaurant. BATCH LEVEL.
The 11 people to be served are individual units that have now been grouped together into one batch so is a Batch Level Activity.
E. Providing technical support for two years following a sale. CUSTOMER LEVEL ACTIVITY.
This is about providing help to the company's customers so it falls under Customer Level Activities.
F. Managing a corporation's accounting department. ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL ACTIVITY.
This involves the Corporation's entire accounting department and so is Organizational level.
G. Attaching a price tag to each product. UNIT LEVEL.
Attaching prices will be done to each individual unit and so it a Unit level activity.
H. Issuing an invoice. CUSTOMER LEVEL ACTIVITY.
Issuing an invoice is done when a sale is complete. Sales are done to customers so this is a customer Level Activity.
I. Developing a corporate advertising campaign. ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL ACTIVITY.
This is has to do with advertising the company as a whole and so is an Organizational level Activity.
J. Recalling a defective product. PRODUCT LEVEL ACTIVITY.
By recalling an entire product, this Activity falls under the Product Level because it deals with the product as a whole. For example, Toyota recalling all cars of a certain model for safety reasons.

3. Operating activities are mainly the cash activities with respect to net income such as payment of employee salaries.
Richard Palm is the accounting clerk of Olive Limited. He uses the source documents such as purchase orders, sales invoices and suppliers’ invoices to prepare journal vouchers for general ledger entries. Each day he posts the journal vouchers to the general ledger and the related subsidiary ledgers. At the end of each month, he reconciles the subsidiary accounts to their control accounts in the general ledger to ensure they balance. Discuss the internal control weaknesses and risks associated with the above process. (10 marks 300 words)
Answer:
Olive Limited
1) Internal Control Weaknesses: Richard Palm is just an accounting clerk and obviously there is a lack of qualification for him to single-handedly complete his work without supervision. He handles the whole processes of identifying source documents, the accounts involved, and their correctness, preparing the journal, posting to the ledgers, and leger accounts reconciliation. This shows that there is no segregation of duties. There is no personnel that authorizes or reviews Richard's accounting processes. He engages in self-review (reconciliation) of his work.
2) The risks associated with Richard's process are:
a) Richard lacks the required professional experience and qualification to handle most of his work alone. Thus, the risk of misstatement of financial statement elements is high.
b) Since Richard works without appropriate supervision, there is an increased risk of fraudulent behaviors. Richard could post fictitious invoices to the accounting records.
c) Without separation of duties, a single individual handles a transaction from the beginning to the end. This does not augur well for internal controls, which can be easily compromised.
d) Designated managers should be required to authorize certain types of transactions to add an extra layer of responsibility to accounting records. This also proves that transactions have been seen, analyzed, and approved by appropriate authorities. The requirement that large payments and expenses be approved by specific managers stop unscrupulous employees from making large fraudulent transactions with company funds, for example.
e) Richard also self-reviews his work. Thus, it may be difficult for him to identify errors of misstatement. An invoice could be posted more than once in the accounting records without being identified.
Explanation:
Internal controls are business processes that provide reasonable assurance so that several key business objectives are met, processes are operating efficiently, the financial reporting is reliable, and that the business is in compliance with applicable regulations and internal procedures.
Weaknesses occur when there is an absence of internal controls or the controls are not being operated as specified or the control objectives are not being achieved. When any of these are prevalent, risks arise. The risks may lead to intentional and unintentional financial statement misstatements or fraudulent practices.
Linguini Inc. adopted dollar-value LIFO (DVL) as of January 1, 2018, when it had an inventory of $841,000. Its inventory as of December 31, 2018, was $874,000 at year-end costs and the cost index was 1.15. What was DVL inventory on December 31, 2018
Answer:
760,000
Explanation:
First find ending inventory at base pricing:
$874,000/1.15 = 760,000
Calculate real dollar increase/decrease in quantity
760,000-841,000 = -81,000
Since it is a decrease in quantity, you use prior period cost index. Prior period is the base year so you just use 1.0 which means that -81,000 stays the same
so now it is 841,000-81,000=760,000
The dollar-value LIFO (DVL) inventory on December 31, 2018 will be 760,000.
What is dollar-value LIFO (DVL) inventory?The latest in, first out cost layering principle is a version on which the dollar-value LIFO method is based. In essence, the technology aggregates cost data for huge quantities of inventory, eliminating the need to create unique cost layers for each inventory item. Instead, pools of inventory goods are organized into layers.
Find ending stock at base prices first:
$874,000/1.15 = 760,000
Determine the actual dollar gain or decrease in the amount.
760,000-841,000 = -81,000
Using the preceding period cost index is appropriate because the quantity has decreased. Since the prior period is the base year, you only need to utilize 1.0, so that -81,000 remains the same.
Consequently, it is now 841,000-81,000=760,000.

Ronald, Inc. had the following balances and transactions during 2017: What is the amount of the company's Merchandise Inventory, as disclosed in the December 31, 2017 balance sheet, using the periodic weighted-average inventory costing method
Answer: $707
Explanation:
Using the Periodic System means that inventory is updated per period. This means that using the Weighted Average method, Ending Inventory prices will be calculated on the basis of all inventory in the period.
Weighted Average Method aims to ascribe a single price to all the inventory units sold by a company and so divides the entire cost by the number of units.
Number of Units bought in 2017,
Opening Balance = 12 units
June 10 = 24 units.
= 12 + 24
= 36 units.
Cost of the the 36 units
= (12 * 91) + (24 * 87)
= $3,180
Weighted Average Cost,
= 3,180/36
= $88.33
During the year they sold 28 units (10 + 18) meaning that 8 units (36 - 28) were left.
The closing Inventory on the 12/31/2020 therefore is,
= 8 * 88.33
= $706.66
= $707
In 2021, the Marion Company purchased land containing a mineral mine for $1,150,000. Additional costs of $448,000 were incurred to develop the mine. Geologists estimated that 310,000 tons of ore would be extracted. After the ore is removed, the land will have a resale value of $110,000.
To aid in the extraction, Marion built various structures and small storage buildings on the site at a cost of $102,300. These structures have a useful life of 10 years. The structures cannot be moved after the ore has been removed and will be left at the site. In addition, new equipment costing $51,500 was purchased and installed at the site. Marion does not plan to move the equipment to another site, but estimates that it can be sold at auction for $5,000 after the mining project is completed.
In 2021, 41,000 tons of ore were extracted and sold. In 2022, the estimate of total tons of ore in the mine was revised from 310,000 to 397,500. During 2019, 71,000 tons were extracted, of which 51,000 tons were sold.

Which of the following statements concerning the selection of risk management techniques and insurance market conditions is (are) true? I.It's easier to purchase affordable insurance during a "soft" market than during a "hard" market.II.Retention is used more during a "soft" market than during a "hard" market.I onlyII onlyboth I and IIneither I nor II
Answer:
I.It's easier to purchase affordable insurance during a "soft" market than during a "hard" market
I only
Explanation:
When a purchaser of insurance wants to make a purchase he analyses the market to get a favourable condition that reduces risk and loss.
The market condition can be a soft market or hard market.
Soft market is one in which potential sellers are more than potential buyers. So supply exceeds demand. Buyers are able to buy affordable insurance.
Hard market on the other hand is when there is an upswing in market cycle. Premiums increase and capacity for insurance decreases.
It is more difficult to get affordable insurance in this market

The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $54,080 per month, which includes depreciation of $3,840. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The direct labor budget indicates that 3,200 direct labor-hours will be required in October. The company recomputes its predetermined overhead rate every month. The predetermined overhead rate for October should be:
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $21.5 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The variable overhead rate is $4.60 per direct labor-hour.
Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $54,080 per month
The direct labor budget indicates that 3,200 direct labor-hours will be required in October.
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (54,080/3,200) + 4.6
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $21.5 per direct labor hour

Explanation:
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 25 million bottles of wine were sold every month at a price of $6 per bottle. After the tax, 20 million bottles of wine are sold every month; consumers pay $8 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $5 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is_____________ $ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is_________ $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $___________ per bottle.?
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that before the tax, 25 million wine bottles were sold at price of $6 per bottle and that after the tax, 20 million bottles of wine are sold every month and the consumers pay $8 per bottle which include the tax and producers receive $5 per bottle.
The amount of tax on wine will be the difference between the price consumers pay after the tax and the price producers receive. This will be:
= $8 - $5
= $3 per bottle
The tax burden that falls on the consumers will be difference between price paid after tax and the price which is paid before the tax.
= $8 - $6
= $2 per bottle
The tax burden on the producers will be difference between price received before the tax and price received after the tax.

Describe a problem you face in your everyday life or at work. How might you use hypothesis testing to find a solution or improvement to that problem? Would you conduct a one-sample or two-sample test? What would be your null and alternative hypotheses?
Answer:
The common problem i encounter mostly is the statistical modelling problem.
In this scenario we choose best combination of independent variables for the hypothesis testing. the independent variable shows the significant effect on dependent variable so we keep it in modelling.
My null hypothesis would be that there is no significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable. for my alternative hypothesis there exist is significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.
Explanation:
The common problem I face daily is the statistical modelling problem which is the selection of relevant independent variable for prediction modelling.
In this example to select the best combination of independent variables we use hypothesis testing. if the independent variable has significant effect on dependent variable then the independent variable shows the significant effect on dependent variable so we keep it in modelling. In this way the model gets improved.
Since there are always two variables or two categories. hence it has a two sample test.
The Hypothesis can be shown below:
Null hypothesis:
H0: There is no significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.
Alternative hypothesis:
Ha: There is significant effect of independent variable on dependent variable.
ive years ago, NorthWest Water (NWW) issued $50,000,000 face value of 30-year bonds carrying a 14% (annual payment) coupon. NWW is now considering refunding these bonds. It has been amortizing $3 million of flotation costs on these bonds over their 30-year life. The company could sell a new issue of 25-year bonds at an annual interest rate of 11.67% in today's market. A call premium of 14% would be required to retire the old bonds, and flotation costs on the new issue would amount to $3 million. NWW's marginal tax rate is 40%. The new bonds would be issued when the old bonds are called. Refer to the data for NorthWest Water (NWW). What is the required after-tax refunding investment outlay, i.e., the cash outlay at the time of the refunding?
Answer:
the required after-tax refunding investment Outlay is $6,200,000
Explanation:
Given that:
NorthWest Water (NWW) issued $50,000,000 face value
Time of issuance = 5 years ago
Bond = 30
Annual coupon payment = 14%
Amortizing amount of floating costs on these bonds over the 30 - year life is $3 million
Also;The company could sell a new issue of 25-year bonds at an annual interest rate of 11.67% in today's market.
Call premium = 14%
NWW's marginal tax rate is 40%
The objective from the given data set is to find the required after-tax refunding investment outlay, i.e., the cash outlay at the time of the refunding.
Initial Outlay = After tax call premium + Floatation cost - Unexpensed float cost
Initial Outlay = [tex](0.14 *50,000,000) + (1 - 0.40)+ $3,000,000 - ($3,000,000)*(\dfrac{25}{30})*0.40[/tex]
Initial Outlay [tex]=4,200,000+ 3,000,000-1,000,000[/tex]
Initial Outlay = $6,200,000
Therefore ; the required after-tax refunding investment Outlay is $6,200,000
A basic finding of labor economics is that workers who have more experience in the labor force are paid more than workers who have less experience (holding constant the amount of formal education). True or False: This might be the case because more experience decreases the value of the marginal product of labor. True False Some studies have also found that experience at the same job (called job tenure) has an extra positive influence on wages. Job tenure is valuable because people gain that is useful to the firm.
Answer:
A. TRUE
B1. TRUE
B2. Job Specific Knowledge
Explanation:
1. TRUE because more experience will definitely means more on-the-job training because the employee has gain different experience from either same field or different field which will inturn help to increase the worker's value of the marginal product of labor which is why workers who have more experience in the labor force are tend to be paid more than workers who have less experience or no experience.
B1. TRUE because experience gain at the same job will definitely lead to an extra positive influence on wages.
B2. Job tenure is valuable because people will tend to be able to gain JOB SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE that is useful to the firm.
JOB SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE: can be defined as the way in which workers or an employee shows his or her abilities, skills and strengths in order to excel in that specific job which is why employers of labour will often include the skill that is required for the employee to be able to perform the job in their job posting.

Laurie saved for six months to have enough money to buy a new designer outfit to wear to a special party. She had to travel to a larger city to purchase this outfit, but it was worth it to her because it made her feel beautiful and confident. The difference between the benefits Laurie perceived from this purchase and the cost to her to acquire these benefits describes her _____.
Answer: B) customer value
Explanation:
Customer Value refers to the perception of what the good in question is worth to the customer buying it as opposed to other alternatives. Essentially, how much is it worth to the buyer vs the opportunity costs of buying it. The customer values a good when they feel like they gained more benefits than they paid for or that it was an equal trade-off and so do not mind the cost.
Laurie gained confidence and felt beautiful as a result of the attire and so decided that the cost was worth it.
Worth refers to whether the consumer feels he or she received more benefits and services than he or she paid for.
What is the customer Value?Customer value is the financial compensation that a customer receives in exchange for the amount paid for a market item.
In general, a client evaluates the net benefits of one item to those of its prospective alternatives. It aids in determining whether the client believes they received adequate value for the cost of the offering.
Thus, Option B is correct about Laurie.

Explanation:
Oriole Company has the following items: common stock, $1610000; treasury stock, $217000; deferred income taxes, $254000 and retained earnings, $782000. What total amount should Oriole Company report as stockholders’ equity?
Answer:
Stockholders' equity = $ 2,175,000.
Explanation:
Stockholders' equity is also the corporation's total book value. In other word, it is the amount of difference between the Corporation Asset and its liability
Stockholders' equity for Oriole company can be derived using : Common stock + Retained earnings - Treasury stock
Stockholders' equity = 1,610,000 + 782,000 - 217,000
Stockholders' equity = $ 2,175,000.
We also need to know that deferred income taxes is not a component of stockholders' equity thus it will not be considered in stockholders' equity calculation.
Correct answer is $ 21,75,000.
A travel agent wants to determine how much the average client is willing to pay for a weekend at an all-expense paid resort. The agent surveys 30 clients and finds that the average willingness to pay is $2,500 with a standard deviation of $840. However, the travel agent is not satisfied and wants to be 95% confident that the sample mean falls within $150 of the true average. What is the minimum number of clients the travel agent should survey
Answer:
[tex]n=(\frac{1.960(840)}{150})^2 =120.47 \approx 121[/tex]
So the answer for this case would be n=12 rounded up to the next integer
Explanation:
[tex]\bar X=2500[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)
s=840 represent the sample standard deviation
n represent the sample size
The margin of error is given by this formula:
[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (a)
And on this case we have that ME =150 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2[/tex] (b)
The critical value for 95% of confidence interval, the significance level if 5% and the critical value would be [tex]z_{\alpha/2}=1.960[/tex], replacing into formula (b) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{1.960(840)}{150})^2 =120.47 \approx 121[/tex]
So the answer for this case would be n=12 rounded up to the next integer
Bilbo Baggins wants to save money to meet three objectives. First, he would like to be able to retire 30 years from now with retirement income of $28,000 per month for 25 years, with the first payment received 30 years and 1 month from now. Second, he would like to purchase a cabin in Rivendell in 10 years at an estimated cost of $380,000. Third, after he passes on at the end of the 25 years of withdrawals, he would like to leave an inheritance of $1,700,000 to his nephew Frodo. He can afford to save $3,300 per month for the next 10 years. If he can earn an EAR of 10 percent before he retires and an EAR of 7 percent after he retires, how much will he have to save each month in years 11 through 30?
Answer:
He would have to save each month in years 11 through 30 the amount of $2,279.60
Explanation:
Because the cash flows occur monthly, we must get the effective monthly rate. One way to do this is to find the APR based on monthly compounding, and then divide by 12. So, the pre-retirement APR is:
EAR = .11 = [1 + (APR/12)] 12- 1;
APR = 12[(1.11) 1/12- 1] = .1048 or 10.48%
And the post-retirement APR is:
EAR = .08 = [1 + (APR/12)] 12 -1
APR = 12[(1.08) 1/12 -1] = .0772 or 7.72%
First, we will calculate how much he needs at retirement. The amount needed at retirement is the PV of the monthly spending plus the PV of the inheritance. The PV of these two cash flows is:
PVA = $24500{1 -[1/(1 + .0772/12) 12(25) ]}/(.0772/12) = $3,252,096.21
PV = $1525,000/[1 + (.0772/12)] 300 = $222,723.58
So, at retirement, he needs:
$3,252,096.21+ $222,723.58= $3474819.79
He will be saving $2,600 per month for the next 10 years until he purchases the cabin. The value of his savings after 10 years will be:
FVA = $2,600[{[1 + (.1048/12)] 12(10) -1}/(.1048/12)] = $547,487.10
After he purchases the cabin, the amount he will have left is:
$547,487.10 -345,000 = $202487.10
He still has 20 years until retirement. When he is ready to retire, this amount will have grown to:
FV = $202487.10[1 + (.1048/12)] 12(20) = $1632023.27
So, when he is ready to retire, based on his current savings, he will be short:
$3474819.79-1632023.27 = $1842796.52
This amount is the FV of the monthly savings he must make between years 10 and 30. So, finding the annuity payment using the FVA equation, we find his monthly savings will need to be:
FVA = $1842796.52 = C [{[ 1 + (.1048/12)] 12(20) -1}/(.1048/12)]
C = $2,279.60
He would have to save each month in years 11 through 30 the amount of $2,279.60

Speed, size, and strength are thought to be important factors in football performance. The article "Physical and Performance Characteristics of NCAA Division I Football Players" (Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport [1990]: 395–401) reported on physical characteristics of Division I starting football players in the 1988 football season. Information for teams ranked in the top 20 was easily obtained, and it was reported that the mean weight of starters on top-20 teams was 105 kg. A random sample of 33 starting players (various positions were represented) from Division I teams that were not ranked in the top 20 resulted in a sample mean weight of 103.3 kg and a sample standard deviation of 16.3 kg. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean weight for non-top-20 starters is less than 105, the known value for top-20 teams?
Answer:
no
Explanation:
H0: mean of sample=105
Ha: mean of sampe≠ 105
t-statistic= (population mean-sample mean)/(standard deviation/√sample size)
t-statistic= (105-103.3)/(16.3/√33)
t-statistic= 0.5991
degress of freedom= 32
for alpha 0.05, p-value from t-distributino table is 1.697
since t-statistic is less than the p-value, null hypothesis is accepted.
There is no sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean weight for non-top-20 starters is less than 105 the known value for top-20 teams
Oriole Inc manufactures model airplanes and repair kits. The planes account for 75% of the sales mix, and the kits the remainder. The variable cost ratio for the planes is 80% and 65% for the kits. Fixed costs are $114000. Compute the breakeven point in sales dollars.
Answer:
Break-even point (dollars)= $480,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs are $114000.
Sales mix:
Planes= 0.75
Kits= 0.25
Contribution margin ratio:
Planes= 0.20
Kits= 0.35
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= sales mix*contribution margin ratio
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.75*0.2 + 0.25*0.35
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.2375
Break-even point (dollars)= 114,000/0.2375
Break-even point (dollars)= $480,000
Congress wishes to impose regulations on the insurance industry. What test would the United State Supreme Court use to determine whether such regulations would violate the substantive due process rights of insurance companies that would be subject to the regulations? What is the likely outcome of the case?
Answer:
Three part test.
The outcome: if the three requirements are not met, then there is not point the Government should interfere.
At the end, the law will be held.
Explanation:
In some cases, the courts are allowed to protect individual, company or business organization from Government interrupting with these individuals or business organization "fundamental right" and this is the "substantive due process rights " of insurance companies as mentioned in the question above.
The test that the United State Supreme Court can use to determine whether the regulations they want to enact would violate the substantive due process rights of insurance companies is what is known as the THREE PARR TEST.
THE THREE PART TEST has its root from cases such as that of Pasgraf V Long Island Railroad co. The three part test involves three main subjects and they are;
=> foreseeability: are the policies in which insurance companies work going to affect the consumers in the future?
=> proximity: what kind of relationship do the insurance companies have with there consumers?
=> fairness: are these policies just and fair?
CONCLUSION: if the three requirements are not met, then there is not point the Government should interfere.
Alfred is saving up money for a down payment on a townhouse. He currently has $5016$ 5016, but knows he can get a loan at a lower interest rate if he can put down $5994$ 5994. If he invests the $5016$ 5016 in an account that earns 4.4%4.4% annually, compounded monthly, how long will it take Alfred to accumulate the $5994$ 5994? Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary.
Answer:
It will take Alfred to accumulate the $5994 annually 4.1367 and monthly 4.0557
Explanation:
In order to calculate how long will it take Alfred to accumulate the $5994 we would have to use the following formula:
A=P(1+r/n)∧n*t
P=$5,016
A=$5994
r=4.4%
n=1 annually
n=12 monthly
Therefore, t annually would be as follows:
5,994=$5,016(1+(4.4%/100)/1)∧1*t
t=4.1367
Therefore, t monthly would be as follows:
5,994=$5,016(1+(4.4%/100)/12)∧12*t
t=4.0557
It will take Alfred to accumulate the $5994 annually 4.1367 and monthly 4.0557
