Answer:
Explanation:
There are many advantages Walmart will gain if it were to use RFID tracking technology
1. In all its retail stores and
2. To manage every single item
As opposed to
A. Using case-level RFID or
B. Tracking only a part of each store's inventory at the item level (backroom inventory)
Radio frequency identification makes use of electromagnetic fields, to instantly identify and track tags attached to objects. The tags could be
1. Active or 2. Passive
These tags are the unique form of identification of an item in the store.
The advantages:
1. The main advantage of using the RFID in all Walmart's stores and to manage every single item, is: unlike barcodes, multiple RFID tags can be read at a time.
2. Whether the tag is showing openly or is covered by a part of the object to which it is affixed, it can still be read, if passed by a reader.
3. It can be used to track pilferers or shoplifters.
4. The RFID code is also used to bill the customers.
5. It is used to access the item or good.
6. Active RFID tags can be read from a far distance from the reader.
Some countries have oil as a natural resource and bronze plate inc, based in illinois, is considering building a facility in one of those foreign countries since it does not have easy access to oil near its manufacturing plant. Which theory of foreign direct investment provides an explanation for this decision?
A) eclectic paradigm
B) infant industry argument
C) protectionism argument
D) product life cycle theory
E) new trade theory
Answer: A) eclectic paradigm
Explanation:
An Eclectic Paradigm is also called a OLI Framework which is an acronym that stands for Ownership, Location, Internationalization.
Companies use this theory in cost based analysis to determine if they can reduce costs by producing in house as opposed to from the market.
It is usually applied to the area of Foreign Direct Investment where companies use it to decide if it is better to invest in another country and have easier access to goods that it needs as opposed to buying it from the market. If it is shown that they stand to gain more from investing directly in another country, they will use this option.
This is the theory that Bronze Plate Inc wants to use.

Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr. Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr. Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr. Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr. Hayford die. Mr. Hayford would like to insure Mr. Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
Question:
Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die. Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
(a) What is the extent of insurable interest in each case?
(b) Consider any necessary action if the loan was later repaid earlier than anticipated what happens to the policy?
Answer:
To answer the question (a), one must first understand the concept of Insurable Interest.
A policyholder is said to have an insurable interest in a subject matter whenever the subject matter of a contract provides some financial gain to them and would lead to a financial loss if damaged, destroyed, stolen or lost.
For example, if I purchase a car for my use for $10,000, theft of or damage to that car will translate to financial loss to me. Therefore, I have an insurance interest in the car. This qualified me to Insure the car against loss arising from any form of insurable damage, or theft.
In question (a) there are two cases.
Case I - Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die.
Mr Isaac, in this case, has full insurable interest on Mr Hayfords life. If Mr Hayford dies, Mr Isaac will be put in a financial loss to the tune of Gh₵20000.
Case II - Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
Mr Hayford does an insurable interest on Mr Isaac's life. This insurable interest arises due to the possibility (as given in the question) that Isaacs family have the power to request for the loan earlier than it ought to have been paid.
The insurable interest arises because paying back the loan earlier than anticipated, may put Mr Hayford in financial distress and may lead to financial and economic loss. If the loan is meant for the running of his business, the business may fold up, and he may forfeit all the assets of the business.
In a real-life scenario, this can all be prevented by ensuring that the terms of the loan are documented in a contract which must be ratified by both parties. In this contract, clauses preventing the lender from cutting short the tenure of the loan can be inserted. This is less expensive and easier to administer.
(b) In each of the cases above, if the loan is paid back earlier than anticipated:
i. Under duress from the family: The provision of the policy protecting the interest of Mr. Hayford kicks in and makes good the loss to mitigate it and terminates afterwards.
ii. By volition by Mr Hayford: The policy terminates immediately as the insurable interest he has on Mr Isaac's life becomes extinct.

Suppose Binder corporatio's common stock has a return of 17.61 percent. The risk-free rate is 3.68 percent, the market return is 12.4 percent and there is no unsystematic risk affecting Binder's return. Given the one-factor arbitrage pricing model, what is the factor beta
Answer:
1.597
Explanation:
The computation of the factor beta using the one-factor arbitrage pricing model is shown below:
As we know that
= (Expected rate of return - risk-free rate of return) ÷ (market rate of return-risk-free rate of return)
= (17.61% - 3.68%) ÷ (12.4% - 3.68%)
= 1.597
We simply applied the above formula to determine the factor beta and the same is to be considered

Church Inc. is presently enjoying relatively high growth because of a surge in the demand for its new product. Management expects earnings and dividends to grow at a rate of 22% for the next 4 years, after which competition will probably reduce the growth rate in earnings and dividends to zero, i.e., g = 0. The company's last dividend, D0, was $1.25, its beta is 1.20, the market risk premium is 5.50%, and the risk-free rate is 3.00%. What is the current price of the common stock?
a. $32.69
b. $26.57
c. $27.37
d. $28.97
e. $23.39
Answer:
Option B ,$26.57 is correct
Explanation:
The cost of equity =Rf+Beta*Mrp
Rf is the risk free rate of 3.00%
Beta of equity is 1.20
Mrp is the market risk premium which is 5.50%
Cost of equity=3.00%+(1.20*5.50%)=9.60%
Stock price =present value of dividends+present value of terminal value
D1=$1.25*(1+22%)/(1+9.6%)^1=$ 1.39
D2=$1.25*(1+22%)^2/(1+9.6%)^2=$ 1.55
D3=$1.25*(1+22%)^3/(1+9.6%)^3=$ 1.72
D4=$1.25*(1+22%)^4/(1+9.6%)^4=$ 1.92
terminal value=year 4 dividend/(r-g)
year 4 dividend=$1.25*(1+22%)^4= 2.77
r is the cost of equity of 9.6%
g is the dividend afer year 4 which is 0%
terminal value= 2.77/(9.6%-0%)=$ 28.85
present value of terminal value= 28.85/(1+9.6%)^4=$ 19.99
Total present values=$ 1.39+$ 1.72+$ 1.92 +$ 1.92 +$ 19.99 =$26.58
According to the question Option B ,$26.57 is correct
How to calculate of common stock?When The cost of equity = [tex]Rf+Beta "/times" Mrp[/tex]
After that, Rf is the risk free rate of 3.00%
then Beta of equity is[tex]1.20[/tex]
After that Mrp is the market risk premium which is 5.50%
So that, Cost of equity 3.00%+(1.20*5.50%)=9.60% = 9.60%
Then The Stock price is = present value of dividends + present value of terminal value
Now, D1 is = $[tex]1.25 "/times" (1+22[/tex]%[tex])/(1+9.6[/tex]%)^[tex]1=$ 1.39[/tex]
Then, D2 is = $[tex]1.25 "/times" (1+22[/tex]%[tex])^2/(1+9.6[/tex]%)^[tex]2=$ 1.55[/tex]
Then D3 is = $1.25 "/times" (1+22%)^3/(1+9.6%)^3=$ 1.72
After that D4 is = $[tex]1.25*(1+22[/tex]%[tex])^4/(1+9.6[/tex]%)^[tex]4=$ 1.92[/tex]
Then the terminal value is = year 4 dividend/(r-g)
Then year 4 dividend is = $[tex]1.25×(1+22[/tex]%)^4= 2.77
Then r is the cost of equity of 9.6%
Now, g is the dividend after year 4 which is 0%
After that terminal value is = 2.77/(9.6%-0%)=$ 28.85
Then present value of terminal value is = [tex]28.85/(1+9.6[/tex]%)^4=$ 19.99
Thus, The Total present values is =$ [tex]1.39+$ 1.72+$ 1.92 +$ 1.92 +$ 19.99[/tex] =$26.57
Therefore Option B is $26.57

Thomas Company uses a standard cost system. Information for raw materials for Product RBI for the month of October follows: Standard unit price $1.75 Actual purchase price per unit $1.65 Actual quantity purchased 4,000 units Actual quantity used 3,900 units Standard quantity allowed for actual production 3,800 units What is the materials purchase price variance
Answer:
Material price variance = $400
Explanation:
A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. A favorable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite.
It is is computed as follows:

A person has a poor credit score due mainly to the amount of debt on credit card and instalment loans. How could the person improve his score.
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
The credit score is a number used by lenders to help them decide the likelihood of an individual to repay on time if the person is granted a credit card or a loan. The higher the scores, the likelihood that the person qualifies for credit cards and loans.
A person that has a poor credit score due to the amount of debt on credit card and instalment loans can improve his or her score by paying off the debt. When an individual pays of his or her debt, the person will have an improved credit score which can be used to apply for further loans.
Furthermore, such individual can also keep his or her balances low on the credit cards. A credit card with high debts doesn't represent the individual well when applying for a loan which will lead to a negative credit score.

Percentage-of-sales approach states that the amount of bad debt expense that is recognized by a company will be calculated as a percentage of the credit sales that are generated during the current accounting period.
Using the percentage of credit sales method, the ending balance in the "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" will be:
= Net credit sales × percentage of credit sales uncollected in the past
= $150,000 × 5%
= $150,000 × 0.05
= $7500
g "At the start of the current year, Minuteman Corporation had a credit balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $3,500. During the year a monthly provision of 3% of sales was made for uncollectible accounts. Sales for the year were $1,110,000, and $7,200 of accounts receivable were written off as worthless. No recoveries of accounts previously written off were made during the year. The year-end financial statements should show:"
Answer: Allowance for the doubtful accounts with a credit balance of $29,600
Explanation:
From the information that is provided in the question, the following can be deduced and the year-end financial statements should show:
Allowance for the doubtful accounts with a credit balance will be calculated as: the beginning allowance for the doubtful accounts + (the sales × Provision % ) - accounts receivable that were written off.
= $3,500 + ($1,110,000 × 3%) - $7,200
= $3500 + $33300 - $7200
= $36800 - $7200
= $29,600
You would like to invest in one of the profitable business units of a multinational corporation. In a meeting with management, you explain that you'll only consider a unit categorized, according to the BCG matrix, as a question mark. Here are your choices:Unit A has revenue of $27 billion and a profit of $6 billion. While its product is based on a new technology that is rapidly increasing in sales, the product currently lags the market share of competitors.Unit B has revenue of $30 billion and a profit of $7 billion. Its market share is strong and growing. While its product is based on an outdated technology, the product has a loyal following for now.Which of the corporation's two profitable units meets your criterion?
Answer:
Unit A has revenue of $27 billion and a profit of $6 billion. While its product is based on a new technology that is rapidly increasing in sales, the product currently lags the market share of competitors.
Explanation:
According to the BCG Matrix, question marks are business units that operate in rapidly growing markets but currently only possess a low market share.
This results in a lot of cash being consumed by the business unit, but also the possibility of high growth. It is called a question mark because it is uncertain if the business unit will be successful or not. This means that they are very risky investments.
Assume that HotLap, Inc., a manufacturer of laptop computers, is considering a merger with SassyChips, a leading producer of computer chips. HotLap believes such a merger would benefit their business by giving them a guaranteed steady supply of the chips they need to make their laptops, and more control over the way those chips are designed. If this merger occurs, it would be an example of:____________.
1. contract manufacturing.
2. a vertical merger.
3. a conglomerate merger.
4. a franchise arrangement.
5. a horizontal merger.
6. a leveraged buyout.
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
In simple words, vertical merger refers to the joining of the two separate entities that provide value to different level of supply chains. Such mergers are implemented by the entities to take advantage of realized synergies.
These mergers provide many benefits such as reduced cost or steady supply but the acquiring entity gets the burden to operate a separate entity and manage it.
A firm sells 1000 units per week. It charges $15 per unit, the average variable costs are $10, and the average costs are $25. In the long run, the firm should a. Shut-down because it is cost effective to pay off the remaining fixed costs b. Continue operating as the firm is covering all the variable costs and some of the fixed costs c. Shut-down as the firm is making a loss of $10,000 per week d. Shut-down as price is lower than average cost
Answer:
b. Continue operating as the firm is covering all the variable costs and some of the fixed costs
Explanation:
A firm should shutdown operations if its price is less than average variable cost.
The price the firm sells is $15
Average variable cost is $10.
Price is greater than average variable cost in excess of $5.
The $5 covers some of the average fixed cost.

A local theater company sells 1,500 season ticket packages at a price of $250 per package. The first show in the 10-show season starts this week. (a) The sale of the season tickets before the first show. (b) The revenue from fulfilling the performance obligation by putting on the first show.
Answer:
Dr cash $375,000
Cr unearned revenue $375,000
Dr unearned revenue $37,500
Cr revenue $37,500
Explanation:
The total amount realized from the sale of tickets is $375,000($250*1500)
However,the cash proceeds should be debited to cash while it is also credited to unearned revenue
The revenue from fulfilling the performance obligation=1/10*$375,000=$37,500
The $37,500 is debited to unearned revenue and credited to sales revenue as that amount has now been earned
a) The cash realized from the sale for all the season tickets is $375,000.
b) The revenue to be recognized after fulfilling the performance obligation of the first show is $37,500.
Data and Calculations:
Selling price per ticket package = $250
Number of ticket packages sold = 1,500
Number of show seasons = 10
On the average, each show season will take = 150 tickets (1,500/10)
Proceeds from sale of season tickets = $375,000 ($250 x 1,500)
Revenue from first show = $37,500 ($375,000/10) or (150 x $250)

Target profit is $100,000; fixed overhead costs are $120,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs are $50,000. If total variable cost is $675,000, the markup percentage to the variable cost using the variable cost method is %. Round your answer to the nearest whole percent
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
The markup percentage to the variable cost using the variable cost method can be obtained by dividing the addition of the target profit and total fixed cost by the total variable cost as follows:
Total fixed cost = Fixed overhead costs + Fixed selling and administrative costs = $120,000 + $50,00 = $170,000
The markup percentage to the variable cost = (Target profit + Total fixed cost) / Total variable cost = ($100,000 + $170,000) / $675,000 = $270,000 / $675,000 = 0.40, or 40%.
Therefore, the markup percentage to the variable cost using the variable cost method is 40%.

To peg the pounds per dollar exchange rate at a level higher than the market clearing exchange rate, the UK government needs to:_________.
a. buy pounds and sell dollars
b. buy dollars and sell pounds
c. simple announce a target exchange rate
Answer:
b. and a
Explanation:
Answer:
b. and
Explanation:
Remember, when foreign exchange rates between two currencies of particular country rises (appreciates), it effects is experienced most by the country whose currency hasn't risen. In this case therefore, this would make U.S. consumers pay more dollars for each McLaren car they import from the UK.
Also, to peg the pounds per dollar exchange rate at a level higher than the market clearing exchange rate, the UK government needs to buy pounds and sell dollars, because reducing the supply of pounds in the exchange market creates an opportunity for higher exchange prices.
Wildhorse Taxi Service uses the units-of-activity method in computing depreciation on its taxicabs. Each cab is expected to be driven 144,000 miles. Taxi 10 cost $29,000 and is expected to have a salvage value of $200. Taxi 10 was driven 31,000 miles in 2021 and 33,500 miles in 2022. Determine the depreciation cost.
Answer:
Depreciation expense/cost
For 2021 = $6200
For 2022 = $6700
Explanation:
Depreciation expense is the systematic allocation of an asset's cost over its estimated useful life. The depreciation expense is calculated using various methods. The units of activity method charges a depreciation based on the usage of the asset in a particular period as a proportion to its estimated useful life calculated in the form of total usage expected.
The formula for units of activity depreciation per period is,
Depreciation expense = [(Cost - Salvage value) / Total estimated life time activity of the asset] * Activity performed during the period
Depreciation expense-Taxi 10:
For 2021 = [(29000 - 200) / 144000] * 31000 = $6200
For 2022 = [(29000 - 200) / 144000] * 33500 = $6700
