Answer:
If Amy sues X Corp. because of the pay differential, what must she show?
The Equal Pay Act of 1963 prohibits discrimination in payment on the basis of gender (and race and origin also). In this case, Amy must prove that her work requires the same skills as Luis's and that it provides the same value to the company. They both have a master's degree in computer science, but she must also show that Luis's Ph.D. is not important to their work.
What might the company argue in defense?
The company might argue two things:
That Luis has a higher education degree, since he has a Ph.D. That Luis's work is more specialized since he codes games, while Amy codes different projects. They would have to prove that the games that Luis codes are much more profitable and valuable to the company than the work Amy does.Who should win?
If their work is similar, then Amy should win. If they are basically both doing the same job and require the same skills, therefore, the salary should be the same.
But if Luis's work is much more relevant and profitable for the company, then Amy would lose. If this is true, they might have to change Luis's compensation and reduce his salary but increase bonus compensation. This is true in all companies (or the vast majority of), e.g. the quarterback receives the highest salary since his job is more important for the team.

This percentage change in real GDP is also known as
Answer:
The percentage change in real GDP is 2.93%
Real economic growth rate
Explanation:
The percentage in real GDP between year 2017 and 2018 can be computed using the below formula:
% change in real GDP=2018 real GDP-2017 real GDP/2017 real GDP
2017 real GDP is 18,108.1
2018 real GDP is 18,638.2
% change in real GDP=(18,638.2- 18,108.1)/ 18,108.1=2.93%
This percentage change in real GDP is also known as real economic growth rate.Economic growth rate is the rate of improvement in the economy with respect to additional value-adding goods and services produced by an economy with viz-a-viz the prior year

Nash's Trading Post, LLC issued a five-year interest-bearing note payable for $222000 on January 1, 2019. Each January the company is required to pay $44000 on the note. How will this note be reported on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet
Answer:
balance sheet
liabilities
note payables (current portion) 44,000
non-current liabilities
long-term note payable 178,000
Explanation:
On December 31,2020 there will be a portion of the note that will be declared as current liability while another non-current as within 12-months there is payment due (to be more precise next day after the balance close)
Thus 222,000 - 44,000 = 178,000 long-term
while the 44,000 are declared short-term
You are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price of $100 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays no dividends, its current price is $100, and you believe it has a 50% chance of increasing to $120 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $80. The risk-free rate of interest is 10%.Based upon your assumptions, calculate your estimate of the the call option's value using the two-state stock price model.
Answer:
$13.64
Explanation:
Given:
Exercise price,X = $100
Current price = $100
Value when price is up, uS = $120
Value when price is down, dS= $80
Risk free interest rate = 10%
First calculate hedge ratio, H:
[tex] H = \frac{C_u - C_d}{uS - dS} [/tex]
Where,
Cu = uS - X
= 120 - 100
= $20
[tex] H = \frac{20 - 0}{120 - 80} = \ftac{1}{2}[/tex]
A risk free portfolio involves one share and two call options.
Find cost of portfolio:
Cost of portfolio = Cost of stock - Cost of the two cells.
= $100 - 2C
This portfolio is risk free. The table below shows that
_______________
Portforlio 1:
Buy 1 share $80; Write 2 calls: $0; Total: ($80 + 0) $80
____________________
Portforlio 2:
Buy 1 share: $120; Write 2 calls: -$40; Total: ($120 - $40) $80
Check for oresent value of the portfolio:
Present value [tex] = \frac{80}{1 + 0.10} = 72.73 [/tex]
Value = exercise price - value of option
$72.73 = $100 - 2C
Find call option, C
[tex] C = \frac{100 - 72.73}{2} = 13.64 [/tex]
Call option's value = $13.64

Read the following situation, and then answer the questions.
You have been working in an entry-level position in the Environmental Health and Safety division of a company for the last six months. You spend your time reviewing safety reports, entering them into the database, and compiling statistical analyses of the results for your superior, Ray Blaine. Lately, Mr. Blaine has been asking you when each report will be finished. Following this query, Mr. Blaine often compliments you on the results of your past analyses.
1) What is the most important message your superior is trying to deliver?
A. He is worried about the results of your analysis.
B. He wants to know when the report will be ready.
C. You are ready for a promotion.
2) What can you do to listen more effectively to your superior?
A. Lean forward and make eye contact.
B. Paraphrase his questions in return.
C. Ask questions in return.
Answer:
1)B
2)C
Explanation:
1) Mr. Blaine wants to know when will the results be ready. He is complimenting to let you know that he has good expectations from you.
2) Asking questions in return lets the other person know that you are interested in the conversation.
Answer:
Question 1 answer is B
Question 2 answer is C
Explanation:
1. From the data in the question, we can tell what your superior has in mind.
- The fact that Mr Blaine has been asking when each report will be finished shows that he is concerned ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME it takes you to complete work on a safety report.
- He often compliments you on the results of your past analyses. This means that he is recertifying that your results come out fine and accurate BUT need to start coming out FASTER. He uses the compliments to lift your spirit so you don't feel downcast by the complaints. So you can be sure that as far as the work is concerned, YOU ARE GETTING IT RIGHT but as far as delivery window is concerned, you are delivering SLOWLY.
So the answer is B - he is most concerned about the timeframe you use to go through each report. He wants you to understand that good timing adds to the quality of a result!
2. The three options here are things you can do, to listen more effectively to your superior. The most important though is C.
You need to ask questions in return!
- Ask questions on the clarification of what exactly you are expected to do, in order to produce results that are both accurate and timely.
- Ask Mr. Blaine how he thinks you should go about it.
- Ask questions where you don't understand
- Ask when exactly you are to submit each result
After he replies, put his advice and corrections into practice.
Suppose that there is a French shipbuilder that imports American made aluminum for parts in its ships. The French shipbuilder needs to purchase aluminum from the American producer for $100,000. Question: At the equilibrium exchange rate, how much does it cost to purchase $100,000 worth of aluminum from the American producer
Answer:
€67,000
Explanation:
The computation o the cost is shown below:
But before that first we have to determine the exchange rate at which the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplies
As we can see that from the table $1.5 per euro exchange rate, the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplied
That means € 1 = $ 1.5
So,
$1 = € 1 ÷ 1.5
So,
Euro exchange rate = €0.67 per dollar
Now
Worth of exchange is
= $100,000 × € 0.67 per dollar
= €67,000
a manufacturing firm is considering two locations for a plant to produce a new product. the two locations have fixed and variable costs as folls location FC(ANNUAL) VC(per unit) atlanta $80,000 $20 phoenix $140,000 $16 IF THE ANNUAL DEMAND WILL BE 20,000 units, what would be the cost advantage of the better location? HINT: compare the total costs a 60000 b 20000 c 460000 d 40000
Answer:
b $20,000
Explanation:
For computation of cost advantage first we need to find out the total cost of Atlanta and Phoenix which is shown below:-
Total cost = Fixed cost + (Variable cost × Number of units)
For Atlanta
The Total cost = $80,000 + ($20 × 20,000)
= $480,000
For Phoenix
The Total cost = $140,000 + ($16 × 20,000)
= $460,000
According to the above calculation, Phoenix is best location because it has lower total cost.
So
The Cost advantage at Phoenix = Total cost of Atlanta - Total cost of Phoenix
= $480,000 - $460,000
= $20,000
The following costs are budgeted for Harlow Corporation for next year: The costs above are based on a level of activity of 20,000 units. Assuming that this activity is within the relevant range, what would total cost per unit be for Harlow if the level of activity was only 18,000 units?
Answer:
$48.50
Explanation:
Harlow Corporation
First step is to calculate for Variable cost per unit:
Variable cost per unit =
$270,000 ÷ 20,000 units
= $13.50 per unit
Second step is to calculate for the cost function
Cost function :
Y = $630,000 + $13.50X
Y= $630,000 + $13.50(18,000)
Y=$630,000+$243,000
Y = $873,000
Therefore:
Total cost / number of units = total cost per unit$
Total cost =$873,000
Number of units= 18,000
$873,000 ÷ 18,000
= $48.50
Therefore the total cost per unit is $48.50
Assume Zap industries reported the following adjusted account balances at year-end. 2019 2018 Accounts Receivable $ 1,690,200 $ 1,340,920 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (92,000 ) (76,300 ) Accounts Receivable, Net $ 1,598,200 $ 1,264,620 Assume the company recorded no write-offs or recoveries during 2019. What was the amount of Bad Debt Expense reported in 2019
Answer:
amount of Bad Debt Expense for 2019 = $92,000
Explanation:
A bad debt expense is a uncollectible receivable amount incurred on a credit sale to a customer, who is no longer able to pay the debt, due to bankruptcy or other financial problems. Companies make provision for these kind of credit losses in the allowance for doubtful accounts, and hence records the amount used from the allowance for doubtful accounts as the bad debt expense.
In our example, the allowance for doubtful account for 2019 is $92,000, hence since it was used to settle part of the credit losses, this becomes the bad debt expense.

Industry averages for the following four risk ratios are as follows:
Average collection period 25 days
Average days in inventory 60 days
Current ratio 2 to 1
Debt to equity ratio 50%
Required:
Calculate the four risk ratios listed above for Adrian Express in 2018.
Answer:
Industry average Adrian Express
Average collection period 25 days 31 days
Average days in inventory 60 days 152 days
Current ratio 2 3.91
Debt to equity ratio 50% 109%
Explanation:
Average collection period = (average accounts receivable / total net credit sales) x 365 days = {[(1,620,000 + 1,310,000) / 2] / 17,262,000} x 365 days = 30.98 ≈ 31 days
Average days in inventory = 365 days / inventory turnover
inventory turnover = COGS / average inventory = 10,624,000 / [(4,710,000 4,150,000) / 2] = 2.4
Average days in inventory = 365 days / 2.4 = 152 days
Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities = (cash + accounts receivable + inventory) / $1,930,000 = ($1,220,000 + $1,620,000 + $4,710,000) / $1,930,000 = $7,550,000 / $1,930,000 =3.91
Debt to equity ratio = total liabilities / stockholders' equity = $4,200,000 / $3,860,000 = 1.09 or 109%
George has been selling 5,000 T-shirts per month for $8.50. When he increased the price to $9.50, he sold only 4,000 T-shirts. Which of the following best approximates the price elasticity of demand? -2.2 -1.8 -2 -2.6 Suppose George's marginal cost is $5 per shirt. Before the price change, George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately . George's desired markup is . Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was than his desired margin, raising the price was .
Answer: George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately 41.2% George's desired markup is 45% Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was Less than his desired margin, raising the price was profitable
Explanation:
a) Price Elasticity of Demand = [(Q1-Q2)/(Q1+Q2)] / [(P1-P2)/(P1+P2)]
= 5000- 4000/4000+ 5000) / 8.50- 9.50 /8.50 ₊9.50 =
1000/8000 / -1/ 18 = 0.125/-0.055 = -2.2
George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately
when Marginal cost = $5
b)initial price markup = Price - marginal cost / price = 8.50 - 5.00/ 8.50 = 0.412= 41.2%
C) George's desired margin = 1/absolute value of price elasticity = 1/ 2.2= 0.45= 45%
.
D)Since George's initial markup or actual margin was less than his desired margin, raising the price is profitable.
This is because When the markup is lower than the margin, business is running on a loss, so it is nessesary to increase price.

Answer:
See attached.
Explanation:
The question requires business events to be analyzed chronologically with each event's impact on the accounting equation.
The accounting equation states that Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity (Assets = Liabilities + Equity). The implication of this equation is that given each business transaction, Assets will always be equal to Liabilities and Equity. Two accounts or more are usually affected by each transaction. It may be two assets accounts or one asset and liabilities, etc. Expenses and Income impact the Retained Earnings, which is part of the Equity.
Assets are the resources owned by the business, while liabilities are financial obligations to third parties that contribute to the owned resources. Equity is the funds contributed by the stockholders, including the earnings retained from business. Equity, therefore, represents the ownership interest in the assets after liabilities have been deducted.

A company's shares can exhibit a negative P/E ratio. This is true.
The true statement is that companies with high research and development (R&D) expenses tend to have high P/E ratios.
How to calculate the valueCurrent year price earning ratio = 25.75*5500000/8000000
17.7
current price earning = 17.70
next year earning = 8000000*(1+25%)
10000000
If PE ratio remains constant next year then share price next year is
10000000*17.70/7000000 = 25.22 per share
Market to book value after one year = (7000000*49.60)/35308000 = 9.833.
It should be noted that because of negative earing of the company negative PE ratio is possible. Hence PE ratio negative is possible

Crane Company sells its product for $60 per unit. During 2019, it produced 48000 units and sold 40000 units (there was no beginning inventory). Costs per unit are: direct materials $15, direct labor $9, and variable overhead $3. Fixed costs are: $576000 manufacturing overhead, and $72000 selling and administrative expenses. Under absorption costing, what amount of fixed overhead is deferred to a future period?
Answer:
$96,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of fixed overhead is deferred to a future period is shown below:
= Unsold units × fixed overhead cost per unit
= 8,000 units × ($576,000 ÷ 48,000 units)
= 8,000 units × $12
= $96,000
The unsold units is
= Produced units - sold units
= 48,000 units - 40,000 units
= 8,000 units
By multiplying the unsold units with the fixed overhead cost per unit we can get the amount of fixed overhead deferred for a future period and the same is to be considered

Which of the following statements about pricing is true? Small changes in price can have big effects on company profit but not on the number of units sold. Small changes in price can have big effects on the number of units sold but not on company profit. Small changes in price can have big effects on the number of units sold and also on company profit. Compared to the other 4P’s, pricing is important because once an item has been priced, changing its price can be quite difficult.
Answer:
Small changes in price can have big effects on the number of units sold and also on company profit
Explanation:
Small change in price will definitely have an effect on the amount of units sold due to a corresponding change in demand that will follow this change, and also will affect the amount of profit that the company generates. This changes can either be positive or negative to the company. Example is the increase in price of coca-cola might trigger customers into switching to pepsi-cola, resulting in a reduced demanded quantity which means less units are produced. The overall effect of these will leave the company with less profit.

Handy Home sells windows and doors in the ratio of 7:3 (windows:doors). The selling price of each window is $111 and of each door is $261. The variable cost of a window is $68.00 and of a door is $180.50. Fixed costs are $515,375.
Required:
1. Determine the selling price per composite unit.
2. Determine the variable cost per composite unit.
3. Determine the break-even point in composite units.
4. Determine the number of units of each product that will be sold at the breakeven point.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Handy Home sells windows and doors in the ratio of 7:3 (windows:doors).
Window:
Selling price= $111
Unitary variable cost= $68
Door:
Selling price= $261
Unitary variable cost= $180.5
Fixed costs are $515,375.
1) Selling price per composite unit:
Selling price= 0.7*111 + 0.3*261= $156
2) Composite variable cost:
Variable cost per unit= 0.7*68 + 0.3*180.5= 101.75
3) To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 515,375/ ( 156 - 101.75)
Break-even point in units= 9,500 units
4) Units for each product:
Windows= 0.7*9,500= 6,650
Door= 0.3*9,500= 2,850

Overapplied factory overhead would result if: Group of answer choices a. Factory overhead costs incurred were greater than costs charged to production. b. The plant was operated at less than normal capacity. c. Factory overhead costs incurred were less than costs charged to production. d. Factory overhead costs incurred were unreasonably large in relation to units produced.
Answer:
c. Factory overhead costs incurred were less than costs charged to production.
Explanation:
An overapplied factory overhead represents the excess amount of overhead used during a manufacturing period compared to the actual overhead incurred during the production or manufacturing period.
Simply stated, an overapplied factory overhead is the amount by which the estimated overhead is above the actual overhead incurred by a factor in the course of production.
Hence, an overapplied factory overhead would result if factory overhead costs incurred were less than costs charged to production.
This simply means that, if the factory overhead cost actually incurred in a production period is less than the estimated factory overhead cost applied, this is an overapplied factory overhead. If reverse of the above is the case, then it is referred to as underapplied factory overhead.
Additionally, if the difference between the two overhead cost is negative, then it is an overapplied factory overhead.
Here are the 2015 revenues for the Wendover Group Practice Association for four different budgets (in thousands of dollars):
Static Budget Flexible (Enrollment/ Utilization) Budget Flexible (Enrollment) Budget Actual Results
$425 $200 $180 $300
a. What do the budget data tell you about the nature of Wendover's patients: Are they capitated or fce-for-service?
b. Calculate and interpret the following variances: Revenue variance Volume variance Price variance Enrollment variance Utilization variance
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
a). The revenue here shows that
Wendover's patients were capitated. The is because the actual revenue figures were assumed to be $180, but it
later came to $300 which means that the revenue increased.
The reason is that a capitated patient provides fixed payment a year, while a fee for service client pays per usage. With this explanation, it can be concluded that majority of Wendover's patients are fee for service because the difference between static results and the actual results is very high.
) 1. Revenue variance
= Actual Revenues - Static budget
= $ 300 - $ 425
= - $125
2. Volume variance
= Flexible Revenue - Static Budget
= $ 200 - $ 425
= - $ 225
3. Price Variance
= Actual Revenues - Flexible Revenues
=$300 - $200
= $100
4. Enrollment variance
= Flexible Revenues - Static Budget
= $ 180 - $ 425
= - $ 245
5. Utilization variance
= Flexible Revenue- Flexible Budget
= $ 200 - $ 180
= $ 20
Answer:
Kindly check Explanation
Explanation:
The difference between capita tes and fee-for-service is how payment is made, In capitates, a fixed annual amount is paid whereby In fee-for-service, payment is made separately for each service demanded. Thus it could be concluded from the data they the patients are fee-for - service due to the difference in the static and actual figure provided.
Given the following :
Static Budget - $425
Flexible (Enrollment/ Utilization) -$200
Budget Flexible (Enrollment) Budget -$180
Actual Results - $300
B)
Revenue variance = (Actual Revenues - Static Revenue)
Revenue variance = ($300-$425) = -$125 (Unfavorable)
This shows that the Wendover have less patients who use the services.
Volume variance = (Flexible Revenues (enrollment and utilization) – Static Revenues)
Volume variance = ($200 – $425) = -$225
Price variance = (Actual Revenues – Flexible Revenue)
Price variance = ($300 - $200)
Price variance = $100 F
Price variance is favorable which means service charge is high.
Enrollment variance = (Flexible Revenues (enrollment) – Static Revenue)
Enrollment variance = $180 – $425 = -$245
Utilization variance =Flexible revenues (enrollment/utilization) - Budget Flexible (Enrollment) Budget
$200 - $180 = $20
Agatha's Inc. is about to introduce a new product in the market, but is not sure as to how it should price the product. The company is facing intense competition from five other companies. In such a situation, what should be Agatha’s Inc. pricing objective
Answer and Explanation:
There are two main pricing objective and strategy i.e competitive pricing and penetrative pricing which are explained below:
1. Competitive pricing :
In this Agatha's Inc, all five rivals should evaluate pricing models for a related kind of product. If your product has a little more value added than your collegaues, then you can establish a target price target that is higher than the competitors.
Now to do that, it's necessary to send the customer a message that they're purchasing value for a price.
2. Penetrative pricing :
When the target price is set on the basis of the competitive pricing model , it is important to obtain the product favourably from the consumer and to do so you can start selling a little lower than the target price and sell the goods as a discount or promotional deal.
If the initial sales are strong and buyers like the product then return the product to target pricing and do intensive marketing to sell the message that the product 's cost is a bargain for the value provided by the company.
The mixture of the above two pricing strategies would ensure a better positioning of Agatha's Inc product with better profitability.
When a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, the money supply rises by more than $1. The amount of extra money created when the central bank increases bank reserves by $1 is called the money multiplier.
a. The money multiplier is generally greater than 1 because:
1. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar bill is spent more than once (velocity is larger than 1), thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. in a 100 percent reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves supports exactly one hundred dollars of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by $100.
4. when a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, deposits are automatically increased by $1 as well, thereby increasing the money supply by $2.
The money multiplier is equal to 1 when:
1. reserves < deposits.
2. reserves > deposits.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. The initial money supply is $1,500, of which $700 is currency held by the public. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. Calculate the increase in the money supply associated with increases in bank reserves of $10. What is the money multiplier in this economy? Assume that individuals do not change their currency holdings.
c. A general rule for calculating the money multiplier is:
1. 1/(deposit ratio-desired reserve).
2. 1/deposit ratio.
3. 1/desired reserve.
4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. Suppose the Fed wanted to reduce the money multiplier, perhaps because it believes that change would give it more precise control over the money supply. In order to achieve its goal, the Fed would:
1. decrease the ratio of reserves to deposits.
2. increase reserve requirements.
3. increase the money supply.
4. decrease reserve requirements.
Answer: a. 2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. $900.
Multiplier is 10
c. 4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. 2. increase reserve requirements.
Explanation:
a. In fractional-reserve banking system, $1 of deposits can be used to create more than $1 in money supply as the money is continuously deposited into other bank accounts. This enables the money to keep increasing until it theoretically reaches a certain amount determined by the money Multiplier.
If the money Multiplier is equal to 1 which is a very rare occasion, this means that the amount required in reserves is equal to the deposits. $1 of deposits will yield a $1 in money supply increase.
b. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. For every $1, 0.1 goes to reserves.
If bank reserves have increased by $10 then that means that deposits are,
0.1x = 10
x = $100
Deposits not in reserve are,
= 0.9 * 100
= $90
The money Multiplier can be calculated with the formula,
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
= 1/0.1
= 10
Increase in money supply is therefore,
= $90 * 10
= $900
c. As earlier mentioned, option D is the general rule for calculating the money Multiplier.
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
d. If the Fed increases the reserve requirement, the effect would be a reduction in the money supply because the denominator is now higher.
For instance, reserve requirement of 0.1 vs 0.2.
At 0.1, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.1
= 10
At 0.2, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.2
= 5
The higher the reserve requirement, the lower the Multiplier.

Electra Company purchased $50,000 worth of office supplies on January 1. Electra expects to use 60 percent of the supplies in the first year and the remainder in the second year. How much should Electra show in its Supplies Expense account at the end of the first fiscal year (ending December 31st)
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Purchase value of the office supplies = $50,000
Expected to use supplies in the first year = 60%
So expected to use supplies in the second year = 40%
Based on the above information, the supplies account balance at the end of the first fiscal year is
= Purchase value of the office supplies × Expected to use supplies in the first year
= $50,000 × 60%
= $30,000
We simply multiplied the purchased value with the expected supplies use in the first year so that the balance of the supplies for the first year could come
Which of the following is TRUE regarding journal entries: a) There are always only two accounts affected b) The total amount debited must equal the total amount credited c) Journal entries show debits on the right and credits on the left d) Journal entries show credits first, then debits
Answer: b) The total amount debited must equal the total amount credited
Explanation:
Journal entries on the debit side must always equal entries on the credit side. This is to fulfil the Accounting requirement of Double Entry where every entry in the books must have an equal and corresponding entry as well.
There can be multiple accounts represented in the journal entry but the amount on the credit side needs to balance with the amount on the debit side.
For example, a good to sold to Hillary by Trump for $30. Trump gives Hillary a discount of 10%. Trump will record that entry as,
DR Cash $27
DR Sales Discount $3
CR Accounts Receivable $30
Notice that the Debit side has 2 accounts but they still add up to the $30 on the Credit side.
