Answer:
the value for Liabilities on March 31, 2020 is $22,000
Explanation:
Liabilities are current obligations of the entity that arose as a result of past events, the settlement of which will results in the outflow of cash from the entity.
To calculate the value for Liabilities on March 31, 2020, make adjustments to the liability balance that exists at the start of the year with movement that qualify as liabilities as defined above.
Opening balance as at 1 January 2020 = $22,000
Movements in liabilities = $0
Balance as at March 31, 2020 = $22,000
Conclusion :
The liabilities value on March 31, 2020 remains at $22,000
What eventually happens to non-market “command” economies?
Answer:
From the historical references, we can say that the two leading command economies of the world, China and the Soviet Union both made the transition to the mixed economy.
Explanation:
A command economy refers to the economic system where all significant facets of the economy and economic production are controlled by the Government. In the command economy, it is the government that makes the decision of what to produce, how to produce, and how to distribute the manufactured products and services within the economy. It establishes a very dominant government which restricts the rights of its citizen to seek economic goals. It inevitably creates an environment in which governments will expand their influence over certain aspects of human life. Most command economies, including the Soviet Union, started making the transition to a mixed economy from the 1980s onward. This entailed a privatization process and price deregulation.

Explanation:
To a greater or lesser degree, many governments can be considered pragmatic nationalists when it comes to foreign direct investment (FDI); this means it has both benefits and costs. FDI can benefit a host country by bringing capital, technology, and jobs, and it can also have a negative effect on a country's balance of payments. Accordingly, government policies are shaped by a consideration of these costs and benefits of FDI.
Home countries can adopt policies designed to both encourage and restrict FDI. Host countries try to attract FDI by offering incentives and try to restrict FDI by dictating ownership restraints and requiring that foreign multinational enterprises (MNE) meet specific performance requirements.
Roll over each item on the left to read its description. Determine whether the scenario represents a benefit or cost to the home or host country, and then drag it to the appropriate place on the chart.
HOST-COUNTRY BENEFIT HOST-COUNTRY COST
HOME-COUNTRY BENEFIT HOME-COUNTRY COST
-outflow of earnings from a foreign subsidiary
a- loss of jobs
b-inflows of foreign earnings
c-substitute for imports
d-loss of economic independence
e-increase in direct and indirect empolyment
f-skills that can be leveraged internationally
g-loss of local entreprenurship
h-Host country limits profit expatriation
i-transfer of new technology
Answer:
Home Country Benefit
b - inflows of foreign earnings.
The Company operating in the Host Country will send some of it's profits back to it's Home Country and this will be treated as Foreign Earnings.
f-skills that can be leveraged internationally.
The Home Country will gain skills from their experience in the Host Country. These skills can then be used to be competitive on the global market.
Home Country Cost
a- loss of jobs
The Home Country would lose the jobs that it's companies created in the Host Country. These are jobs that could have employed people in the Home Country but now employ people in the Host Country.
h-Host country limits profit expatriation
In order that they don't lose too much money to the Home Country, the Host Country might come up with laws that limit the amount of money that can be taken out from the country this limiting the amount of foreign Earnings that the Home country gets.
Host Country Benefit
c-substitute for imports
The products that the companies founded by FDI are producing could have been products that the Host Country used to import. Now that the goods are being made in the Host Country, there will be no need for imports.
e-increase in direct and indirect employment
The companies founded by FDI in the Host Countries will create employment for people in the company which is direct employment. Many auxiliary services such as drivers and caterers as an example will also spring up to take care of these newly employed folk thereby creating indirect employment.
i-transfer of new technology
The Company formed from FDI will bring with them technology from the Home Country that could be very beneficial to the Host Country.
Host Country Costs.
- Outflow of earnings from a foreign subsidiary
The Companies established through FDI will send some of their profits back to their home Countries. This means that the earnings would leave the Host Country instead of being reinvested in them.
d-loss of economic independence
These FDI companies tend to get very influential and powerful in the Host Country and can sometimes dictate policies. This would mean the companies have significant control over the resources of the Host Country which will lead to a loss of Economic independence. This is the main reason most people believe that China is interested in Africa.
g-loss of local Entrepreneurship
These companies created by FDI will bring with them better technology and capital that will enable them to be very competitive in the local Economy. This will discourage local Entrepreneurs who do not have the economic nor the financial backing to challenge the companies without making huge losses.
Fairfield Company’s raw materials inventory transactions for the most recent month are summarized here: Beginning raw materials $ 20,000 Purchases of raw materials 90,000 Raw materials issued Materials requisition 1445 25,000 For Job 101 Materials requisition 1446 35,000 For Job 102 Materials requisition 1447 30,000 Used on multiple jobs 1. How much of the raw materials cost would be added to the Work in Process Inventory account during the period? 2. How much of the raw materials costs would be added to the Manufacturing Overhead account? 3. Compute the ending balance in the Raw Materials Inventory account.
Answer:
1. $60,000
2. $30,000
3. $20,000
Explanation:
1. How much of the raw materials cost would be added to the Work in Process Inventory account during the period?
The amount to add add to the Work in Process Inventory account during the period is the direct material used calculated as follows:
Direct raw materials used = Materials requisition 1445 For Job 101 + Materials requisition 1446 For Job 102 = $25,000 + $35,000 = $60,000
2. How much of the raw materials costs would be added to the Manufacturing Overhead account?
Manufacturing overhead refers to all indirect costs that are incurred during the production process. Therefore, the raw materials costs that would be added to the Manufacturing Overhead account is the indirect materials used on multiple jobs.
Therefore, we have:
Amount to add to the Manufacturing Overhead account = Indirect materials used = $30,000
3. Compute the ending balance in the Raw Materials Inventory account.
Ending raw materials balance = Beginning raw materials + Purchases of raw materials - Direct raw materials used - Indirect materials used = $20,000 + $90,000 - $60,00 - $30,000 = $20,000
The graph shows excess demand. A graph titled Excess supply has quantity on the x-axis and price on the y-axis. A line with positive slope represents supply and a line with negative slope represents demand. The lines intersect at the point of equilibrium (p star, Q star). A point on the demand line is (P 2, quantity demanded) and a point on the supply line is (P 2, quantity supplied). Both points are lower than the point of equilibrium. Excess demand is indicated between the 2 points. Which needs to happen in order to stop disequilibrium from occurring? Q needs to be coordinated with supply. Q needs to be coordinated with demand. The price of goods needs to be increased. The price of goods needs to be decreased.
Answer:
The price of goods needs to be increased.
Explanation:
Excess demand occurs when the quantity demanded is higher than the quantity supplied. This happens when the price of the good is lower than the equilibrium price. This can happen naturally in the market, or can happen if the government imposes a binding price floor.
The best way to solve excess demand is to raise the price, in order to reach equilibrium. Once in equilibrium, the price will coordinate the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded so that they're roughly equal.
Association between the number of goods the producers wants to sell at a specific value to that of quantity the purchaser wants to buy is called demand and supply.
The correct answer is:
Option C. The cost of goods needs to be raised.
This can be explained as:
When there is more need for the product than it is supplied or created is excess demand.This problem arises when the value of the goods and commodities is lower.This can arise intrinsically or due to any trade or governmental policies.The excess demand can be solved by increasing the price of the product.Therefore, the price of the goods should be increased.

Answer: O the liability Unearned Revenue on its balance sheet.
Explanation:
Unearned Revenue is a liability that goes into the balance sheet to record the cash received for goods and/or services that the company have not delivered yet.
This is so that the company is not in violation of the Accrual Accounting concept known as the Revenue Recognition Principle that states that revenue should be recognised only in the period that they have been earned.
Microsoft in this scenario will record this cash as an Unearned Revenue and then consider it revenue when it has delivered the said goods and services.

Answer:
Moral obligation bond
Explanation:
Moral obligation bond is defined as a revenue bond that is issued by a municipality or by some other government body.
The benefits of moral obligation bonds are tax exemption and a moral pledge that there will be no default on the bond.
Usually a reserve fund is established in case the issuing body is unable to meet its debt obligations.
In this scenario the bond is issued with a covenant that states "if revenue collections are insufficient, the state legislature has the authority, but not the obligation, to make an annual apportionment of funds necessary to meet debt service requirements."

In contrast to a differentiator, a cost-leader will:
a. focus its research and development on process technologies to improve efficiency.
b. charge a premium price for its products and services.
c. avoid an organizational structure that relies on strict budget controls.
d. build an organizational culture where creativity and customer responsiveness thrive.
Answer: a. focus its research and development on process technologies to improve efficiency.
Explanation:
A Cost Leadership strategy entails reducing the costs associated with production to the point that you are the most efficient producer in the industry. By reducing cost, the company is able to see higher profitability margins and could be able to lower sales prices thereby capturing greater market share.
The Cost Leader will therefore focus on coming up with ways with which it can keep costs at a minimum because it is important to their mode of operations.
A Differentiator on the other hand aims to increase market share by creating a product that people will see as different and will buy due to the added value. They will focus more on supporting creativity to make better products as well as customer responsiveness to see what it is that the customers like so that they can offer it.
Hillsdale is considering two options for comparable computer software. Option A will cost $31,000 plus annual license renewals of $1,800 for three years, which includes technical support. Option B will cost $12,000 with technical support being an add-on charge. The estimated cost of technical support is $4,700 the first year, $3,700 the second year, and $2,700 the third year. Assume the software is purchased and paid for at the beginning of year one, but that technical support is paid for at the end of each year. The discount rate is 10%.

amount of ending inventory=$13,968-$12,960=$1,008.00
Elaborate on any three internal factors of Jessops’ Group Limited that can influence its functioning
Answer:
The internal factors are factors that are under the control of the company and these can be tangible or intangible in nature.
Explanation:
Examples of three internal factors of Jessops’ Group Limited that can influence its functioning are:
1. Assets of the company: the company has over 200 stores around the UK, and also has an online shop and call center. This will make the company to serve a wide base of customers which can increase the revenue of the UK’s premier photographic retailer.
2. Photo and imaging business: This is a business line which is a key part of the company's product portfolio. The decision of the company to focus its attention on making its imaging business the market leader is because of the stability in its margins during the 2008–09 economic recession in the UK.
3. Participation and investment in social responsibility: The response of the company to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations on the disposal of electronic goods at the end of their life by contributing towards a national fund to assist local councils to develop collection facilities for electronic goods is an example of social responsibility. The creation of a convenient battery recycling points in its stores and effort to increase awareness of the WEEE regulations are part of social responsibility functions that will be seen more favorably by consumers. This can therefore increase the sales of the company.

American Corporation has the following financial information. Year 1 Year 2 Cash $ 202.95 $ 245.90 A/R 398.02 485.34 Inventory 785.12 648.54 If Year 1 is the base year, what is the percentage increase/decrease of each current asset amount
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
Since Year 1 has been given as the base year, the percentage change will be:
(Year 2 - Year 1)/Year 1 × 100
Cash:
= (245.90 - 202.95)/202.95 × 100
= 42.95/202.95 × 100
= 0.21 × 100
= 21% Increase
A/R:
= (485.34 - 398.02)/398.02 × 100
= 87.32/398.02 × 100
= 0.22 × 100
= 22% Increase
Inventory:
= (648.54 - 785.12)/785.12 × 100
= -136.58/785.12 × 100
= -0.17 × 100
= 17% decrease
On January 1, the $3,000,000 par value bonds of Spitz Company with a carrying value of $3,000,000 are converted to 1,000,000 shares of $1 par value common stock. Record the entry for the conversion of the bonds.
Answer:
Dr bonds payable $3,000,000
Cr common stock $1,000,000
Cr paid in capital in excess of par val.-common stock($3m-$1m) $2,000,000
Explanation:
The conversion means that the bonds payable account is debited since the obligation has now been settled by a way of giving common stock in lieu.
The credit entries would comprise of par value of the conversion which is $1 par value multiplied by number of common stock of 1,000,000 which gives $1,000,000 while the remaining balance is credited to paid-in capital in excess-common stock

During the year, Lillie rented her vacation home for three months and spend one month there. Gross rental income from the property was $5,000. Lillie incurred the following expenses: mortgage interest, $3,000; real estate taxes $1,500; utilities, $800; and depreciation, $4,000. Compute Lillie's allowable deductions for the vacation home.
Answer:
$8,100
Explanation:
The home was rented for more than 14 days, you must pay taxes for the rental income
Since Lille used the house for more than 15 days herself, limits her deduction. The home cannot be treated as rental home nor personal use vacation home.
total days used = (30 x 3) + 30 = 120 days
rental days = 90/120 = 75% (this doesn't apply to mortgage interest nor real estate taxes, they are still 100% deductible)
mortgage interest and real estate taxes still qualify as personal expenses = $3,000 + $1,500 = $4,500
utilities and depreciation will be deducted only 75% = ($800 + $4,000) x 75% = $3,600
total deductions = $4,500 + $3,600 = $8,100
Baka Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the most recent year, the company based its predetermined overhead rate on total estimated overhead of $243,000 and 8,000 estimated direct labor-hours. Actual manufacturing overhead for the year amounted to $244,200 and actual direct labor-hours were 5,700.The applied manufacturing overhead for the year was closest to:________
a. 229586
b. 234600
c. 242006
d. 236854
Answer:
Allocated overhead= $173,137.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $243,000
Estimated direct-labor hours= 8,000
Actual direct labor-hours were 5,700.
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 243,000/8,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $30.375 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated overhead= 30.375*5,700= $173,137.5
Willetta Company purchases inventory for $29,000 with terms 2/10, n/30. It then returns $3,900 of the inventory purchased to the supplier and also receives an allowance for defective inventory of $290. The company pays the amount due within the discount period. What is the amount of the discount that will be taken
Answer:
Discount taken is $496.20
Explanation:
The amount of purchases after some items were returned and also defective inventory allowance was taken needs to first of all be established.
adjusted purchases=$29,000-$3,900-$290=$ 24,810.00
Thereafter, the amount of discount taken is 2% of the adjusted purchases amount computed above.
Discount taken=$ 24,810.00*2=$ 496.20

Answer:
Present Value 5,715,331.32
We are going to accept the project only if the initial investment is at 5,715,331 or below in order to achieve the return to support the cost of capital structure of the company
Accepting a project with a higher cost will not generate enought cashflow to sustain the patyment of debt and the return expected from the stockholders therefore, will generate a economic result and investor will leave the company for other which can sustain their desired return.
Explanation:
We are going to discount the yearly cash-flow at the given rate of 12.50%
then, the terminal value which is the present value of the future period will also be discounted at this rate.
The sum of all this will be the present value of the firm.

The owner of a small firm has just purchased a personal computer, which she expects will serve her for the next two years. The owner has been told that she "must" buy a surge suppressor to provide protection for her new hardware against possible surges or variations in the electrical current, which have the capacity to damage the computer. The amount of damage to the computer depends on the strength of the surge. It has been estimated that there is a 3% chance of incurring 350 dollar damage, 5% chance of incurring 250 dollar damage, and 12% chance of incurring 100 dollar damage from a surge within the next two years. An inexpensive suppressor, which would provide protection for only one surge, can be purchased. How much should the owner be willing to pay if she makes decisions on the basis of expected value
Answer:
$35
Explanation:
The computation of the expected value is shown below;
As we know that
= Estimated chance of damage percentage × dollar damage + Estimated chance of damage percentage × dollar damage + Estimated chance of damage percentage × dollar damage
= 3% × $350 + 5% × $250 + 12% × $100
= $10.5 + $12.5 + $12
= $35
We simply multiplied the estimated chance of damage percentage with the dollar damage and then added the other two so that the expected value could arrive
Identify each of the following types of businesses as either job-order or process costing. a. Hospital services b. Custom cabinet making c. Toy manufacturing d. Soft-drink bottling e. Airplane manufacturing (e.g., 767s) f. Personal computer assembly g. Furniture making (e.g., computer desks sold at discount stores) h. Custom furniture making i. Dental services j. Paper manufacturing k. Nut and bolt manufacturing l. Auto repair m. Architectural services n. Landscape design services o. Flashlight manufacturing
Answer:
The answer to the question above is given below:
Explanation:
First, for a better understanding of the type of business to be categorized as job-order or process costing, explanation would be made on what job-order and process costing are.
Job-order costing is used when items produced differ such that each carries a significant cost. Job-order costing systems track costs by job and are used by companies to calculate costs of unique products been produced.
Process costing assigns product costs to departments and is used by companies that produce similar products this ensures a continuous style of production employed. No difference in the products been produced in process costing.
Going by the definition above one can categorize the businesses:
a. Hospital services are a Job-order costing type of business
b. Custom cabinet making is a Job-order costing type of business
c. Toy manufacturing is a Process costing type of business
d. Soft-drink bottling is a Process costing type of business
e. Airplane manufacturing (e.g., 767s) is a Process costing type of business because they produce similar products (767s) that translate to a consistent process. But if the model of the airplane is not specified then it is a Job-order costing type of business.
f. Personal computer assembly is a Job-order costing type of business
g. Furniture making (e.g., computer desks sold at discount stores)
h. Custom furniture making is a Job-order costing type of business
i. Dental services are a Job-order costing type of business
j. Paper manufacturing is a Process costing type of business
k. Nut and bolt manufacturing is a Process costing type of business
l. Auto repair is a Job-order costing type of business
m. Architectural services are a Job-order costing type of business
n. Landscape design services are a Job-order costing type of business
o. Flashlight manufacturing is a Process costing type of business
You have graduated from college and, after working hard for ten years, have scraped enough money together to make a down payment on a forty-acre farm within driving distance to the small city where you work in Colorado. In town at lunch one day, you run into an old friend from high school, Hayley Mills, who tells you that she is saving her money to start a high-end consignment shop in town. You allow her to have a room in your house for a few months until she has enough money to go into business. Over the following weeks, however, you realize that old acquaintances from high school are stopping by almost daily for short visits. When you bring this up to Hayley, she admits that many old friends are now relying on her for marijuana. She is not a licensed caregiver in Colorado and is clearly violating the law. Out of loyalty, you tell her that she has three weeks to move out, but you do not prevent her from continuing sales while she is there. What crime have you committed?
Answer:
A conspiracy crime
Explanation:
Note that the tem consipiracy could also mean knowingly supporting directly or indirectly in a set course of action with another.
Thus, since the homeowner did not prevent the illegal actions of her acquaintance out of loyalty for her, the homeowner became part of an illegal drug sale conspiracy. This is further evident from the fact that the homeowner
gave the acquaintance three weeks to move out; in a sense giving more ample time for the illegal transactions.
Susan wants to prepare a presentation that will calculate the total cost of ownership for the system. What financial analysis tools are available to her, and what are the advantages (and possible disadvantages) of each tool
Personal Trainer, Inc. owns and operates fitness centers in a dozen Midwestern cities. The centers have done well, and the company is planning an international expansion by opening a new “supercenter” in the Toronto area. Personal Trainer’s president, Cassia Umi, hired an IT consultant, Susan Park, to help develop an information system for the new facility. During the project, Susan will work closely with Gray Lewis, who will manage the new operation. Background
During data and process modeling, Susan Park developed a logical model of the proposed system. She drew an entity-relationship diagram and constructed a set of leveled and balanced DFDs. Now Susan is ready to consider various development strategies for the new system. She will investigate traditional and Web-based approaches and weigh the pros and cons of in-house development versus other alternatives.
Susan wants to prepare a presentation that will calculate the total cost of ownership for the system.
What financial analysis tools are available to her, and what are the advantages (and possible disadvantages) of each tool?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The financial tools available to her,
NPV: Net Present Value
1. It is the total value benefit minus the total value of the costs.
2. It adjusts the value of future costs and benefits to account for the time value of money.
3. The systems can be compared more accurately and consistently.
ROI: Return On Investment.
Advanatge
1. It is a % rate that compares total net benefits received from a project to the total costs of the project.
2. Companies set a minimum ROI that all projects must match or exceed.
3. Disadvantage of this tool is that it expresses only an overall average rate of the return. It is not accurate for a given time period
PAY BACK ANALYSIS
1. It determines the time it takes for an information system to pay for itself.
2. Total development and operating costs are compared with total benefits.
3. Disadvantage of this method is that pay back analyzes on costs and benefits incurred at the beginning of a system’s useful life.
A company purchased 10 units for $5 on January 3. It purchased 10 units for $7 each on February 28. It sold 10 units on March 1. If the company uses the last in, first out (LIFO) inventory costing method, what is the dollar amount for ending inventory on the December 31 balance sheet, assuming that the company uses a perpetual inventory system
Answer:
The dollar amount for ending inventory using the last-in-first-out method of inventory valuation is $50
Explanation:
Using LIFO,last-in-first-out method of inventory valuation,items received last into the store are deemed to be sold first, hence the sales of 10 units on March 1 was the inventory purchased on February 28, leaving the items of inventory purchased on January 3 as closing inventory
value of closing inventory using LIFO=10*$5=$50
Which of the following are examples of hidden unemployment? Select the two correct answers below. Select all that apply: John is 15 years old and even though he wants to find summer job, he can't. Lisa cannot find the job she wants so she has stopped looking. Penny has a college degree in nursing, but currently has to work as a store clerk as it is the only available job in her small town. Rita is working in the job of her dreams.
Answer:
Lisa cannot find the job she wants so she has stopped looking. Penny has a college degree in nursing, but currently has to work as a store clerk as it is the only available job in her small town.Explanation:
Hidden Unemployment also known as Disguised Unemployment in simple terms refers to the following people; people who are not working and have given up on looking for work because they could not find any, people who have the skillset and determination to work full-time working only part time and people who are underemployed meaning that they are working a job that they are overqualified for.
Hidden Unemployment is considered hidden as it is not reflected in employment statistics.
Lisa could not find a job so she stopped looking. This is Hidden Unemployment and official figures will not even count her as unemployed because you need to be actively looking for work to be classified unemployed.
Penny is overqualified for the store clerk position she holds or rather she is qualified for a different profession. Employment statistics will however show her as employed.
