Answer: maximize P + 1.5W + 2F + 2Y + 3C
Explanation:
The objective function refers to an equation that is used in describing the target of production output which maximizes profits.
The objective function is used to determine the profitability of a business as profits are maximized while losses are minimized.
The objective function if the campaign manager wants to earn the highest electorate will be to maximize P + 1.5W + 2F + 2Y + 3C
You are evaluating two investment alternatives. One is a passive market portfolio with an expected return of 10% and a standard deviation of 16%. The other is a fund that is actively managed by your broker. This fund has an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of 20%. The risk-free rate is currently 7%. Answer the questions below based on this information. a. What is the slope of the Capital Market Line
Answer:
the slope of the capital market line is 0.1875
Explanation:
The computation of the slope of the capital market line is shown below:
= (Expected return - risk free rate of return) ÷ (standard deviation)
= (10% - 7%) ÷ 16%
= 3% ÷ 16%
= 0.1875
hence, the slope of the capital market line is 0.1875
We simply used the above formula to measured the slope of the capital market line
Cora purchased a hotel building on May 17, 2020, for $3,000,000. Determine the cost recovery deduction for 2021. a.$76,920 b.$69,000 c.$48,150 d.$59,520
Answer: $76920
Explanation:
Firstly, we should note that the hotel building is simply non residential and then qualifies to be part of 39 year property.
Then, the cost of recovery will be:
= 1/39 × Cost of the hotel
= 1/39 × $3,000,000
= $76,920
Therefore, the cost recovery deduction for 2021 is $76,920
In a culture with strong business and family ties which of the following is NOT true:
a) Several members of a family may work in the same business.
b) Family members are usually promoted first in a family-owned business.
c) Protecting a family member is sometimes more important than a good business
d) decision.
Families and their businesses are very mobile.
Answer: Families and their businesses are very mobile.
Explanation:
In a culture with strong business and family ties, we should note that several members of the family may work in the same business.
Also, the family members are usually promoted first in a family-owned business. This is to ensure that the family members have a say in the affairs of the company. The family members are protected as well.
The option that isn't true is that families and their businesses are very mobile. This isn't true. The business is of importance and the family members aren't usually mobile.
Bentley Enterprises uses process costing to control costs in the manufacture of Dust Sensors for the mining industry. The following information pertains to operations for November. (CMA Exam adapted) Units Work in process, November 1st 16,300 Started in production during November 100,600 Work in process, November 30th 24,600 The beginning inventory was 60% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion costs. The ending inventory was 90% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion costs. Costs pertaining to November are as follows: Beginning inventory: direct materials, $55,160; direct labor, $20,620; manufacturing overhead, $15,540. Costs incurred during the month: direct materials, $470,970; direct labor, $190,740; manufacturing overhead, $399,080. What are the total costs in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory assuming Bentley uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing
Answer:
$146,443.80
Explanation:
Step 1 : Equivalent Units of Production
FIFO method is interested with Units worked on during the Production Period. Therefore make sure you begin by finishing Opening Work in Process Units.
1. Materials
To Finish Work in Process Inventory (16,300 x 40%) 6,520
Started and Completed (100,600 - 16,300) x 100 % 84,300
Ending Inventory (24,600 x 90%) 22,140
Equivalent units of Production 112,960
2. Conversion Cost
To Finish Work in Process Inventory (16,300 x 80%) 13,040
Started and Completed (100,600 - 16,300) x 100 % 84,300
Ending Inventory (24,600 x 40%) 9,840
Equivalent units of Production 107,180
Step 2 : Cost per equivalent unit
FIFO method is only interested in Costs incurred during the Production Period, therefore Cost in Beginning Inventory must be ignored as these were accounted for in previous year.
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units
Materials = $470,970 ÷ 112,960 = $4.17
Conversion Costs = ($190,740 + $399,080) ÷ 107,180 = $5.50
Step 3 : Cost in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory
Work-in-Process Inventory = Material Cost + Conversion Cost
= 22,140 x $4.17 + 9,840 x $5.50
= $146,443.80
Conclusion :
The total costs in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory assuming Bentley uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing is $146,443.80

Fixed selling and admin 50,000 50,000
Total fixed costs $590,000 $590,000
Net income $310,000 $760,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per unit = $32
Expected unit sales 60,000 90,000
Production units 60,000 90,000
Beginning inventory = 0
Selling price per unit = $33
Variable manufacturing costs = $13 per unit
Fixed manufacturing costs = $540,000
Variable selling and administrative expenses = $5
Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $50,000
b) The key difference lies with the treatment of fixed and variable costs. With absorption costing, the fixed manufacturing costs are included in the costs of products. With variable costing, they are treated as period costs or expenses. Also, with variable costing, variable selling and administrative costs are included in the variable costs of the products. The variable costing method calculates the contribution margin before deducting the fixed expenses to arrive at the net income. On the other hand, the absorption costing method calculates the gross profit instead of the contribution margin.
Spa Inc. gathered the following information related to its gift card sales for 2020, its first year of selling gift cards: Sales of nonrefundable gift cards, 2020$25,500 Gift card redemptions, 2020$18,360 Spa Inc. estimates that 95% of the value of gift cards sold in 2020 will be redeemed while 5% will remain unclaimed. Under the proportional method, what would Spa Inc. recognize for gift card breakage revenue in 2020
Answer: $969
Explanation:
Since 5% of the value of the gift card sold will be unclaimed, the amount claimed will be:
= $25500 - (5% × $25500)
= $25500 -(0.05 × $25500)
= $25500 - $1275
= $24225
We then find the percentage of the cards that have been redeemed already and this will be:
= $18360 / $24225
= 0.7579
= 76%
Therefore, breakage in revenue to be recognized will be:
= ($25500 × 5%) × 76%
= $1275 × 76%
= $1275 × 0.76
= $969

On January 1, Year 2, Kincaid Company's Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts carried balances of $76,000 and $4,000, respectively. During Year 2, Kincaid reported $215,000 of credit sales, wrote off $2,100 of receivables as uncollectible, and collected cash from receivables amounting to $271,100. Kincaid estimates that it will be unable to collect one percent (1%) of credit sales. What effect will the entry to recognize the uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 have on the elements of the financial statements
Answer:
The effect the entry to recognize the uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 will have on the elements of the financial statements are that it will reduce Accounts Receivable to $15,560 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to $1,900 at the end of Year 2.
Explanation:
Credit sales estimated to be uncollectable = Credit sales * Estimated percentage uncollectable = $215,000 * 1% = $2,150
Ending account receivable = Beginning accounts receivable + Credit sales - Cash collected - Receivales written off as uncollectable - Credit sales estimated to be uncollectable = $76,000 + $215,000 - $271,100 - $2,100 - $2,150 = $15,560
Ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = Beginning Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Receivales written off as uncollectable = $4,000 - $2,100 = $1,900
Therefore, the effect the entry to recognize the uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 will have on the elements of the financial statements are that it will reduce Accounts Receivable to $15,560 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to $1,900 at the end of Year 2.
is trading at 54.33. You decide to short sell 100 shares of their stock, providing 3100 in collateral to your broker. You hold the short position for one year and expect Comcast to pay a dividend of 1 per share. In one year, the stock price is 44. Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, what is your return, relative to your collateral
Answer: 30.1%
Explanation:
Return = (Value of stock when shorted - Dividend - Value of stock when returning stock)/Capital employed
Dividend = 100 shares * $1 per share
= $100
Dividends are subtracted because they are owed to the shareholders the stock was borrowed from.
Value of stock when shorted = 54.33 * 100 = $5,433
Value of stock when returning stock = 44 * 100 = $4,400
= (5,433 - 100 - 4,400) / 3,100
= 30.1%

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The monthly equal installment is calculated as follows:
Monthly equal installment= Loan amount/Monthly annuity factor
Loan amount =Balance payment= ?
Monthly annuity factor =
=( 1-(1+r)^(-n))/r
r- Monthly interest rate (r)
= 12/12= 1%
n- Number of months ( n) = 12× 4 = 48
Annuity factor
= ( 1- (1.01)^(-48)/0.01= 37.97
Total payments= 600 × 37.973
= $22,784.37
Cost of car = Down payment and the present value of balance
= 5,000+ 22,784.3=$27,784

Earley Corporation issued perpetual preferred stock with an 8% annual dividend. The stock currently yields 6%, and its par value is $100. Round your answers to the nearest cent. What is the stock's value
Answer:
Value of stock = $133.33
Explanation:
The value of a preferred stock is the present value of the constant dividend payable for the foreseeable future discounted at the required rate of return
Price = Constant dividend/ required return
The constant dividend = Dividend rate × par value= 8%*100= 8
Requited return - 6%
So the price of the stock would be
Price = 8/0.06=133.33
Value of stock = $133.33
One year ago, Jack and Jill set up a vinegar-bottling firm (called JJVB). Use the question facts to calculate JJVB's opportunity cost of production during its first year of operation. JJVB's opportunity cost of production during its first year of operation is $ __________. (do not include any commas in your answer) Prof. Taylor's note: assume the 6% interest rate stated in fact 8 applies to all money in the bank
Answer: $111,000
Explanation:
The opportunity costs incurred by Jack and Jill include:
Wages of $15,000 paid to employeeCost of equipment and goods and services Interest sacrificed on capital put into businessSalary that Jack gave upHours of leisure given up by JillDepreciation of equipmentOpportunity costs were therefore:
= 15,000 + 30,000 + 10,000 + (30,000 * 5%) + 40,000 + (25 * 10 * 50 weeks) + (30,000 - 28,000)
= $111,000
A purely domestic firm that sources and sells only domestically, Multiple Choice should never hedge since this could actually increase its currency exposure. faces no exchange rate risk and should never hedge since this could actually increase its currency exposure. faces no exchange rate risk. faces exchange rate risk to the extent that it has international competitors in the domestic market.
Answer:
faces exchange rate risk to the extent that it has international competitors in the domestic market.
Explanation:
Exchange rate risk is defined as the risk that exists when a company engaged in transactions that are denominated in a foreign currency rather than the domestic currency.
So if a purely domestic firm that sources and sells only domestically has international competitors in its local market, and the exchange rate is favouring the competitors there will be a risk for them.
For example if international competitors can source raw materials cheaper because of the exchange rate of a foreign country, it will be a disadvantage to local firms that cannot reduce their prices.
An asset used in a four-year project falls in the five-year MACRS class for tax purposes. The asset has an acquisition cost of $6,020,000 and will be sold for $1,220,000 at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the aftertax salvage value of the asset
Answer:
The after-tax salvage value of the asset is:
= $793,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Asset acquisition cost = $6,020,000
Salvage value = $1,220,000
MACRS Depreciation Expenses = $4,800,000
Project useful life or project duration = 5 years
Tax rate = 35%
Tax expense = $427,000
After-tax salvage value = $793,000 ($1,220,000 - $427,000)
b) The salvage value of the project asset is the recovery or residual value after depreciation expenses have been recognized over the project asset's useful life. Depreciation is an accounting method of spreading the cost of an asset over its useful life. There are many depreciation methods, including straight-line, double-declining, unit-of-production, sum-of-the-years digits, etc.

Alpha Company owns 80 percent of the voting stock of Beta Company. Alpha and Beta reported the following account information from their year-end separate financial records: Alpha Beta Inventory $95,000 $88,000 Sales Revenue 800,000 300,000 Cost of Goods Sold 600,000 180,000 During the current year, Alpha sold inventory to Beta for $100,000. As of year end, Beta had resold only 60 percent of these intra-entity purchases. Alpha sells inventory to Beta at the same markup it uses for all of its customers. What is the total for consolidated inventory
Answer:
$173,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total consolidated inventory is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
Percentage profits that Alpha charge to other customers is
= ($800,000 - $600,000) ÷ $800,000
= 25% of sales
Stock held at year end is
= $100,000 × 40%
= $40,000
Profit involved in stock is
= $40,000 × 25%
= $10,000
Now the stock of beta is
= $88,000 - $10,000
= $78,000
And finally, the Total for consolidated inventory is
= $95,000 + $78,000
= $173,000
The Argentine peso was fixed through a currency board at Ps1.00/$ throughout the 1990s. In January 2002 the Argentine peso was floated. On January 29, 2003 it was trading at Ps3.20/$. During that one year period Argentina's inflation rate was 20% on an annualized basis. Inflation in the United States during that same period was 2.2% annualized.
Required:
a. What should have been the exchange rate in January 2003 if PPP held?
b. By what percentage was the Argentine peso undervalued on an annualized basis?
c. What were the probable causes of undervaluation?
Answer:
1. 1.17416 peso/$
2. -63.30%
Explanation:
1. The exchange rate in January if PPP is held
1.00 = exchange rate
20 % = inflation in Argentina
0.22% = us inflation
1.00(1+0.20)/(1+0.022)
= 1.00x1.20/1.022
= 1.17416 pesos/$
B. Percentage by which pesos was devalued
(PPP/actual exchange rate)-1
= 1.17416/3.20 -1
= 0.366925-1
= -0.6330
= -63.30%
C. At 20 % we can see that inflation is really high in Argentina which is probably the reason for the undervaluation. But the truth is inflation alone cannot be held responsible. Severe crisis in Argentinas balance of payment is partly responsible

--to record use of direct materials--
Factory overhead 64,600 debit
Utilities Expense 11,400 debit
Utilities Payable 76,000 credit
--to record incurred utilities in plant and non-manufacturing departments--
Explanation:
We record the journal entries considering that debit = credit
(a) as the business didn't pay cash we use account payable account
(b) we transfer the used amount of materials into WIP inventory
(c) we calculate the proportional use for factory and non-manufacturing departments

The marginal cost curve would intersect the average variable cost curve at about: ____________
a. 2 units of output.
b. 4 units of output.
c. 6 units of output.
d. 7 units of output.
Answer:
b. 4 units of output
Explanation:
MC and AVC have the following relationship:
a. MC is above AVC when AVC is rising
b. MC is below AVC when AVC is falling
c. MC = AVC when AVC is at its minimum
Thus, MC would intersect the AVC curve at its minimum point. Since AVC is minimum at 4 units of output equal to 65. It means MC intersects AVC at 4 units of output.
Suppose an American business owner purchases chocolates from Belgium in order to sell them in her shops. This would be entered as a ____________ item under the ___________________ section of the U.S. current account. Consider the goods and services balance. According to the table, the United States is running a trade ____________ .
The current account balance suggests that U.S. current account transactions (exports and imports of goods and services, as well as inflow and outflow of investment income and transfers) created outpayments of foreign currencies from the United States that were __________________the inpayments of foreign currencies to the United States.
Any surplus or deficit in one account must be offset by deficits or surpluses in other balance-of-payments accounts. Because the current account is in ____________ , the excess of foreign currency held by Americans must either be loaned to foreigners or used to buy foreign stocks or bonds. All of these transactions are then recorded in the _______________account. Since any imbalance in one account automatically leads to an equal, but opposite, imbalance in the other, the balance of payments is always _____________
Answer:
Debit
U.S. merchandise imports
Surplus
equal to
Surplus
current
zero
Explanation:
The trade deficit or surplus is based on the exports and imports of the country. When the imports are higher than exports then there will be trade deficit in the current account. In the given scenario the case is other way round, here imports are less than exports which suggests that there is a trade surplus which is offset by other accounts and balance of payment turn out to be zero.

The following information is available: Units in process, Dec. 1 (60 percent converted) 2,000 units Units in process, Dec. 31 (30 percent converted) 1,000 units Units started during the month 7,500 units Materials are added at the beginning of the process. How many equivalent units in process for conversion were there in December using the weighted average method? Group of answer choices
Answer:
the equivalent unit for conversion is 8,800 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent unit for conversion is shown below:
= Units transferred + ending units
= (2,000 + 7,500 - 1,000) × 100 units + 1,000 units ×30%
= 8,500 units + 300 units
= 8,800 units
Hence, the equivalent unit for conversion is 8,800 units
We simply used the above formula for determining the conversion units

Suppose 5 years have gone by and the company has to make a decision on how to move forward. It can either pay out all earnings as dividends without considering any growth opportunities or choose a growth strategy where the company will expand into new lines of business in global markets. If the management chooses this strategy, the payout ratio will be reduced down to 20% from 35%, and the company will be able to maintain a growth rate of 7% forever. Which strategy should the management choose to maximize shareholder value
Answer:
The management should choose the growth strategy. It is always more rewarding and maximizes the shareholder value better than embarking on a payout strategy.
Explanation:
Choosing a payout strategy, which does not ensure growth, is not sustainable and does not maximize shareholder value. Business expansion through market penetration, product development, market expansion, and diversification ensures business growth and maximizes shareholder wealth, enabling the company to pay out more in dividends stretched over longer streams.
