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.

Answers

Answer 1

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 2

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.

Generally, the cost of doing business is most likely to be the lowest in an open democratic societies.

An open democratic society is one that is characterized by a degree of freedom for the populace and as such, it gives the people the privilege of fairly competing for all resources.

In an open democratic society, there's ease of doing business because the government would ensure there's an enabling environment by virtue of laws, regulations, policies, SME loans, taxation etc. The open society being opposed to autocracy, ensures that the government is typically responsive and tolerant to every individual living in the country. This simply means that, fundamental human rights and all the necessary infrastructures or amenities such as power, water, transportation systems are readily available and accessible to all.

Consequently, the cost of doing business becomes low and more individuals would be willing to startup their business; investors are confident of investing in the economy because they believe in the system put in place in an open democratic society.

A short forward contract that was negotiated some time ago will expire in three months and has a delivery price of $40. The current forward price for three-month forward contract is $42. The three month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) is 8%. What is the value of the short forward contract?

Answers

Answer:

-$1.96 is the value.

Explanation:

The contract gives obligation to sell for $40 when a forward price negotiated today would give one obligation to sell for $42.

The value of contract is present value of

40 - 42= -$2

The rate is at 8%

8%= 0.08

3 months= 3/12= 0.25 years

The present value can be calculated as

Value of present contract= -2e^(0.08 x 0.25)

Value of present contract= -$1.96

Composing powerful paragraphs is essential when striving for dear communication. Familiarize yourself with basic paragraph elements, various paragraph patterns, and strategies for building coherence. Use the following paragraphs to answer the questions that follow
Paragraph A: Last week, three of our Xdite executives closed a lucrative merger deal with Editionplus. The merger will add more than 500 accounts to our business and will increase our profits by 39 percent in less than a year. Additionally, the executives met with several Editionplus product designers and agreed on three new computer prototypes that we will produce during the next five years. This means we will expand our business to both Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Paragraph B: Employee reaction has been mixed about our recent plans to expand to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Many Xcite employees are concerned that the Los Angeles site will not have the same relaxed corporate environment as the current site. However, this is not the case: The relaxed corporate environment at the San Francisco site will be replicated in Los Angeles. The culture we have developed works for the company and our employees, and we don't plan to change it. Human resources executives are already interviewing San Francisco employees so they can capture and replicate the culture with ease.

2. "Everyone in senior-level positions has worked his or her way up the corporate ladder and has contributed greatly to the company's success. This team has increased our profits by 6 percent, expanded office space, hired additional IT support, and strengthened our IT infrastructure. These are just a few of this leadership team's many accomplishments."

Explanation:

1. The Direct Approach is also known as a Deductive Approach. This is because when using the Direct Approach, the writer or speaker begins with the main point of the article and then gives supporting evidence and explanations as they go further along.

Paragraph A uses the Direct approach because the writer began by talking about the main point of the sealing of the deal with Editionplus. It then speaks on how it will increase their profits and how they even met with some of their product designers.

Paragraph C also uses the Direct Approach as it speaks to the effectiveness of the leadership first and then gives evidence of why they are effective by stating that they worked hard for it and that they have increased profits, office space and strengthened infrastructure.  

2. Supporting sentences are made with the purpose of supporting the main point. They expound on the point and give it meaning by showing evidence of the original point.

Option C would be the correct answer because it gave evidence of the main point in Paragraph C. The Main Point noted how the leadership in San Francisco has been phenomenal for the past decade. Option C then speaks on how they have done so by stating that they had worked their way up and contributed to the success of the company by having increased profits by 6 percent, expanded office space, hired additional IT support, and strengthened IT infrastructure.

Answer:

1. Overhead cost per unit for Model 145 is $515.59, and overhead cost per unit for Model 212 is $265.12.

2.Total cost per unit for Model 145 is $765.59, and total cost per unit for Model 212 is $445.12.

3. Profit per unit for Model 145 is $54.41, while profit per unit for Model 212 is $34.88.

Explanation:

1. Using ABC, compute the overhead cost per unit for each product line. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)

Note: See the attached excel file for the computation.

2. Determine the total cost per unit for each product line if the direct labor and direct materials costs per unit are $250 for Model 145 and $180 for Model 212. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)

Total cost per unit for each model = Overhead cost per unit + direct labor and direct materials costs per unit.

Therefore, we have:

Total cost per unit for Model 145 =  $515.59 + $250 = $765.59

Total cost per unit for Model 212 = $265.12 + $180 = $445.12

3. Assume if the market price for Model 145 is $820 and the market price for Model 212 is $480, determine the profit or loss per unit for each model. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)

Profit or loss per unit for each model = Market price per unit - Total cost per unit.

Therefore, we have:

Profit or loss per unit for Model 145 = $820 - $765.59 = $54.41 profit

Profit or loss per unit for Model 212 = $480 - 445.12 = $34.88 profit

During 2021, a company sells 500 units of inventory for $95 each. The company has the following inventory purchase transactions for 2021:Calculate cost of goods sold and ending inventory for 2021 assuming the company uses the weighted-average cost method

Answers

Answer:

cost of goods sold = $36,285

ending inventory = $1,742

Explanation:

when you use the weighted average cost method you have to calculate the COGS using the total number of units and the total amount paid for them.

beginning inventory = 71 units for $5,325

purchase 1 = 262 units for $18,864

purchase 2 = 187 units for $13,838

total 524 units for $38,027

cost per unit = $38,027 / 524 units = $72.57

cost of goods sold = 500 units x $72.57 = $36,285

ending inventory = 24 units x $72.57 = $1,741.68 ≈ $1,742

Le Son, Inc., has current liabilities of $11,700 an accounts receivable of $15,200. The firm has total assets of $43,400 and net fixed assets of $24,800. The owners' equity has a book value of $21,000. What is the amount of the net working capital

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

These terms are culled from Balance sheet and Balance sheet have two sides,  The Debit and Credit side. The debit side contain the Capital, Current Liabilities among others and The Credit side contain The Fixed asset and the Current asset

The amount of Net working capital is derived from Current asset - Current Liability

Net working capital  = Current asset - Current Liability

Where Current asset = Total asset - Net Fixed asset= 43,400-24,800 = 18,600

Where Current Liability = 11,700

Therefore, Net working capital  =  $18,600 - $11,700 = $6,900

The amount of the net working capital = $6,900

E-Eyes has a new issue of preferred stock it calls 20/20 preferred. The stock will pay a $20 dividend per year, but the first dividend will not be paid until 20 years from today. If you require a return of 11 percent on this stock, how much should you pay today

Answers

Answer:

Price to be paid for the stock = $25.032

Explanation:

A preferred stock pays a constant amount of dividends in perpetuity.

Using the dividend valuation model, the estimate price of such a stock would be the present value (PV) of the perpetuity.

This given below as dollows:

PV= A/r

A-constant dividend,- 20 ,

r- rate of return- 11%

PV of dividend in Year 19

PV = 20/0.11= 181.8181818

PV in year in year 0

PV = 181.8181818  × 1.11^(-19) = 25.032

Due to a recession, expected inflation this year is only 3.75%. However, the inflation rate in Year 2 and thereafter is expected to be constant at some level above 3.75%. Assume that the expectations theory holds and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 3.5%. If the yield on 3-year Treasury bonds equals the 1-year yield plus 0.5%, what inflation rate is expected after Year 1

Answers

Answer:

5.25%

Explanation:

To calculate the inflation for the year 3, we will have to calculate the yield on 1 Year treasury bond.

The yield is calculated using the following formula:

Nominal Yield on Bond = Real risk free rate + Inflation for the year

Here

Inflation for Year One is 3.75%

Real Risk-Free Rate is 3.5%

Nominal yield on bond is Y for year 1

By putting values, we have:

Y = 3.5% + 3.75% = 7.25%

For 3 years treasury bond,

Nominal Yield on Treasury Bond  for 3 years = Yield on year 1 + Inflation

Y3 = 7.25% + 1.5% = 8.75 %

Now if we deduct the real risk free rate from the  3 year yield on the treasury bond, then the resultant rate would be the inflation rate for the year 3.

Inflation Rate for Year 3 = Y3 - Real Risk-Free Rate

Inflation Rate for Year 3 = 8.75% - 3.5%

Inflation Rate for Year 3 = 5.25%

Melody and Todd are married and have employee wages of $250,000 each in 2019. They have no other income. How much additional 0.9% Medicare tax will Melody and Todd have to pay or receive as a refund when they file their 2019 income tax return?

Answers

Answer:

$1,350

Explanation:

The computation of the amount pay or received as a refund at the time of filing the income tax return for the year 2019 is shown below:

As we know that

The Medicare tax rate is 1.45% till $200,000

And, if it is above $200,000 than 2.35% is charged (1.45% + 0.9%)

Now

For individually calculated,

Melody = ($200,000 × 1.45%) + ($50,000 × 2.35%) = $4,075

Todd = ($200,000 × 1.45%) + ($50,000 × 2.35%) = $4,075

So, the total is

= $4,075 + $4,075

= $8,150

Now if they filling their joint return so

Total salary is $500,000   ($250,000 × 2)

Medicare upto $250,000 = $3,625 ($250,000 × 1.45%)

for remaining $250,000 = $5,875 ($250,000 × 2.35%)

So, the Total is

= $3,625 + $5,875

= $9,500

Now the refund is

= Joint return - individually return for each one

= $9,500 - $8,150

= $1,350

Rosewood Company made a loan of $16,000 to one of the company's employees on April 1, 2020. The one-year note carried a 6% rate of interest. Principal and interest will be paid at the end of the term of the loan. The amount of interest revenue that Rosewood would report in 2020 and 2021, would be?

Answers

Answer:

loan interest revenue  for 2020 is $720

loan interest revenue for 2021 is $240

Explanation:

The loan interest revenue in the year 2020 is for 9 months out of the total loan tenure of twelve months:

interest revenue for 2020=$16,000*6%*9/12=$720.00  

This would be debited to interest receivable and credited to interest revenue account.

interest revenue for 2021=$16,000*6%*3/12=$240.00  

Answer:

The answer is $720 and $240

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that:

Rosewood company made a loan of =$16,000

One year note carried an interest of =6%

Now,

We solve for the amount of interest revenue that rosewood would report

Report  is given below:

$16,000 * 6% * 9/12 = $720 Interest revenue in April to December, 2020

$16,000 * 6% * 3/12 = $240 interest revenue in January - March, 2021

Therefore the interest revenue for Rosewood report/feedback in 2020 and 2021 is  $720 and $240 respectively.

On January 1, 2016, Learned, Inc., issued $70 million face amount of 20-year, 14% stated rate bonds when market interest rates were 16%. The bonds pay interest semi-annually each June 30 and December 31 and mature on December 31, 2035.
REQUIRED:
A) Using the present value tables, calculate the proceeds (issue price) of Learned, Inc.’s bonds on January 1, 2016, assuming that the bonds were sold to provide a market rate of return to the investor.
B) Assume instead that the proceeds were $72,400,000. Use the horizontal model (or write the journal entry) to record the payment of semi-annual interest and the related premium amortization on June 30, 2016, assuming that the premium of $2,400,000 is amortized on a straight-line basis.
C) If the premium in PART B were amortized using the compound interest method, would interests expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 be more than, less than, or equal to the interest expense reported using the straightline method of premium amortization? Explain.
D) In reality, the difference between the stated interest rate and the market rate would be substantially less than 2% . The dramatic difference in the problem was designed so that you could use present value tables to answer PART A. What causes the stated rate to be different from the market rate, and why is the difference likely to be much less than depicted in the problem?

Answers

Answer:

A) $61,654,600

B) June 30, 2016, first coupon payment

Dr Interest expense 4,840,000

Dr Premium on bonds payable 60,000

    Cr Cash 4,900,000

C) If you use the effective interest rate, the bond premium is higher, so the actual interest expense would be lower:

June 30, 2016, first coupon payment

Dr Interest expense 4,756,406

Dr Premium on bonds payable 143,594

    Cr Cash 4,900,000

D) The actual difference between the coupon rate and the effective interest rate (with a $72,400,000 issue price) = 14% (coupon rate) - 13.93% = 0.07%.

The bond's issue price is generally determined by the market rate, but sometimes a company might believe that the interest rate applicable to them is actually different. A company might under estimate the riskiness of their operations, but the market doesn't. Generally the market rate is correct. So any variation in the coupon rate is due to a mistake by the firm. Usually companies do not make huge mistakes, if they miss on the coupon rate it generally is not significant.

Explanation:

issued $70 million face amount of 20-year, 14% stated rate bonds when market interest rates were 16%. The bonds pay interest semi-annually each June 30 and December 31, each coupon = $4,900,000

bonds market price = PV of maturity value + PV of coupons

PV of maturity value = $70,000,000 x 0.04603 = $3,222,100 PV of coupons = $4,900,000 x (8% annuity, 40 periods) = $4,900,000 x 11.925 = $58,432,500total issue price = $61,654,600

if instead the issue price was $72,400,000 (resulting in a $2,400,000 premium), then the premium would be amortized by $2,400,000 / 40 = $60,000 during each coupon payment

if the effective interest method, (not the compound interest method), was used to amortize bond premium, then we first need to calculate the effective interest rate:

$72,400,000 - $70,000,000 = $2,400,000 / 40 = $60,000

$4,900,000 + $60,000 = $4,960,000 / {($72,400,000 + $70,000,000) / 2} = 0.0696629

bond premium discount using effective interest rate = ($72,400,000 x 0.0696629) - $4,900,000 = $5,043,594 - $4,900,000 = $143,594

The modified internal rate of return (MIRR) considers that the project's cash inflows are invested at the company's WACC and the initial investment is financed at a certain debt rate (in this case the same WACC).

Why do you think the value of the Indian rupee declined against that of the U.S. dollar after the U.S. Fed had announced that it would begin to wind down its economic stimulus program

Answers

Rick is planning to invest the following amounts at 7 percent: $254 at the end of year 1, $412 at the end of year 2, and $1,230 at the end of year 3. How much money will he have saved at the end of year 3

Answers

Answer:

$1,961.65

Explanation:

The formula for finding future value :

FV = P (1+r)^n

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

First step is to find the present value of the cash flows.

PV can be found using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1 = $254

Cash flow in year 2 = $412

Cash flow in year 3 = $1,230

I = 7%

Present value = $1,601.29

I would now input the value of p in the FV formula

$1,601.29 ( 1 + 0.07) ^3 = $1,961.65

To find the PV 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

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

The Cash Flow Statement was created to ensure that businesses would know just how much hard cash they actually have. This Statement is therefore different from others in that in only records cash when it has been received and/or disbursed thus making it easier for a company to know how much cash it has.

The Investing Section of the Cashflow statement deals with fixed assets as well as transactions involving securities and bonds of other entities as those are investments.

When cash is spent on these transactions it is a Cash Outflow and is therefore subtracted.

When cash is received from such transactions it is considered a cash inflow and is added.

Effects of Above Transactions.

Sold a Truck for $11,200. This will INCREASE the Investing Cash Flow by $11,200.

Sold a Machine for $8,200. This will INCREASE the Investing Cash Flow by $8,200.

Purchased stock investments for $17,600 cash. This will DECREASE the Investing Cash Flow by -$17,600 as it was a cash Outflow.

The Investing Section of the Cash Flow Statement will look like,

Sold a Truck $11,200

Sold a Machine $8,200

Purchased stock investments -$17,600

Net Cashflow from Investing Activities $1,800

At an output level of 12,200 units, you have calculated that the degree of operating leverage is 3.20. The operating cash flow is $67,100 in this case. Ignore the effect of taxes. What will be the new degree of operating leverage for output levels of 13,200 units and 11,200 units

Answers

Answer:

For 13,200, the Operating Leverage is 3.46.

For 11,200, the Operating Leverage is 2.94.

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the Contribution Margin per unit:

Operating Leverage = (# of units * Contribution margin per unit) / Net Operating income

Here,

Number of Units are 12,200 Units

Net Operating income $67,100

Operating Leverage is 3.2

By putting values, we have:

3.2 = (12,200 Units * Contribution margin per unit) / $67,100

(3.2 * $67,100) / 12,200 Units = Contribution margin per unit

Contribution margin per unit = $17.6 per unit

For 13,200 units:

By putting value of units and keeping other variables constant, we have:

Operating Leverage = (13,200 units x $17.60 per unit) / $67,100

Operating Leverage = 3.46

For 11,200 units:

By putting value of units and keeping other variables constant, we have:

Operating Leverage = (11,200 units * $17.60 per unit) / $67,100

Operating Leverage = 2.94

If the Apple corporation sells a bond it is a. selling shares of ownership directly to the public. b. borrowing indirectly from the public. c. borrowing directly from the public. d. selling shares of ownership indirectly to the public.

Answers

Answer:

c. borrowing directly from the public.

Explanation:

If the Apple corporation sells a bond it is borrowing directly from the public.  That is because corporate bonds are exactly that, they are bonds issued by a corporation in which the individual buying them is basically loaning money to the corporation which they will receive back the full amount that they loaned out as soon as the bond matures. Therefore by buying a corporate bond you are directly loaning that corporation money to finance their operations.

If Apple Corporation sells a bond, it is borrowing indirectly from the public. Therefore, the correct option is b.

A bond is a debt instrument issued by a corporation or government entity to raise funds. When Apple sells a bond, it is essentially borrowing money from investors or the public. In return, Apple promises to repay the principal amount of the bond along with periodic interest payments. Bonds do not involve selling shares of ownership in the company, as in the case of issuing stocks. Instead, bonds represent a form of debt financing for the issuer.

Thus, the ideal selection is option b.

Based on the data given below, what is the difference between the two firms' ROEs? Applicable to Both Firms Firm HD's Data Firm LD's Data Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30% EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10% Tax rate 35%

Answers

Answer:

2.41%

Explanation:

The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-

Particulars          Firm HD                             Firm LD

Assets $200      Debt ratio 50%            Debt ratio 30%

EBIT $40            Interest rate 12%          Interest rate 10%

Tax rate 35%

Debt                            $100                              $60

Interest                        $12                                  $6

                          ($100 × 12%)                       ($60 × 10%)      

Taxable income         $28                                 $36

                               ($40- $12)                          ($40 - $6)

Net income                $18.2                                $22.1

                       $28 × (1 - 0.35)                     $36 × (1 - 0.35)

Equity                          $100                                $140

                              ($200 - $100)                   ($200 - $60)

ROE                              18.2%                               15.79%

                           ($18.2 ÷ $100)                   ($22.1 ÷ $140)

Taxable income = EBIT - Interest

Net income = Income - Taxable income

Equity = Assets - Debt

ROE = Net income ÷ Equity

Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD

= 18.2% - 15.79%

= 2.41%

So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.
