Answer:
Involving all managers rather than delegating planning to a "planner"
Explanation:
Strategic planning is a process of establishing the direction of a business. It assesses where the business is and where it is going. And the action plan needed to get to it's goal.
Delegating planning to a planner rather than involving all managers is an identified pitfall in strategic planning.
This is why Involving all managers rather than delegating planning to a "planner" is the correct answer since we are required to identify a non pitfall by the question.
Pell Company acquires 80% of Demers Company for $500,000 on January 1, 2010. Demers reported common stock of $300,000 and retained earnings of $210,000 on that date. Equipment was undervalued by $30,000 and buildings were undervalued by $40,000, each having a 10-year remaining life. Any excess consideration transferred over fair value was attributed to goodwill with an indefinite life. Based on an annual review, goodwill has not been impaired. Demers earns income and pays dividends as follows: Assume the equity method is applied. 8. Compute Pell's income from Demers for the year ended December 31, 2010. A. $74,400. B. $73,000. C. $42,400. D. $41,000. E. $80,000.
Answer:

Explanation:
Pell Company
Pell's income from Demers for the year ended December 31, 2010
Controlling Interest Share of Net Income for 2010- Excess Fair value Annual Amortization
Controlling Interest Share of Net Income for 2010= ($100,000 × .80) $80,000
Less Excess Fair Value Annual Amortization =($7,000 × .80) $5,600
Pell Income= $74,400
Which of the following is false?
a) Mail surveys are cheap but have low response rates.
b) Coverage error is when respondents give untruthful answers.
c) Focus groups are nonrandom but can probe issues more deeply.
d) Surveys posted on popular websites suffer from selection bias.
Answer:
b) Coverage error is when respondents give untruthful answers
Explanation:
Coverage error occurs when the target population isn't the population actually sampled.
Coverage error could be undercoverage or over coverage.
undercoverage is when the sampling population doesn't include all of the target population.
Over coverage is when some of the target population is over represented in the sample population.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
b) Coverage error is when respondents give untruthful answers.
Explanation:
Coverage error is a form of bias in experiments, where the selected sample does not match with the population for whom the experiment is actually meant for. This problem could arise as a result of undercoverage or overcoverage of samples.
Undercoverage is a situation wherein the members of the earmarked population are not included in the sample. Overcoverage occurs when samples that are not from the intended population, are included in error or even included more than once.

What will be the final balance in theâ corporation's Retained Earnings account after recording the closingâentries?
Answer:
$16,400
Explanation:
The formula for Retained Earnings = Total assets - Total Liabilities except Retained Earnings
Under the Balance sheet in accordance with this question, the asset recognizable are Cash Account Receivables Prepaid Rent and Merchandise inventory. The liability recognizable are Account payable, Salary Payable, Notes Payable and Common stocks
Therefore Retained earnings = (12000+3000+700+25000)-(14000+1500+800+8000)
Retained earnings = 40700 - 24300
Retained earnings = $16,400
Ethics is a hot topic in business, as well as in Project Management. Using some of the examples presented therein, what kinds of dilemmas have you either seen, encountered, or can envision from your field of study and/or work? How does this affect international projects and venues?
Answer:
Without question, ethics is indeed a very hot subject of industry. Various forms of ethical challenge come up particularly in managing projects. I encountered only a handful of the above :-
(A) It is a predicament to finish the ethical task in a timely manner but to with over-exploit natural resources by simply avoiding even their own work-life balance.
(B) Much of the project has to be successfully completed and within likely cost. The conundrum faced can jeopardise the excess cost savings with the value of the project that would result in customer unhappiness.
Plum Corporation (a C corporation and a computer manufacturer) donated 100 laptop computers to a local university (a qualified educational organization) this year. The computers were constructed by Plum earlier this year, and the university will use the computers for research and research training. Plum's basis in the computers is $35,000, and their fair market value is $120,000. What is Plum's deduction for the contribution of the computers (ignoring the taxable income limitation)?
Answer:
Plum’s deduction for the contribution of the computers is $70,000
Explanation:
According to the given data the contribution of the computers qualifies for the increased contribution amount available with respect to certain inventory.
Therefore, The contribution amount is equal to the lesser of :
1) $35,000 basis + 50 % * ( $120,000 FMV - $35,000 basis ) = $ 77,500 ( basis + 50 % of the appreciation on the property )
2) $35,000 * 2 = $ 70,000 ( twice the property's basis )
Therefore, Plum’s deduction for the contribution of the computers is $70,000.
Answer:
$70,000
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Plum's basis in the computers is= $35,000
The fair market value is = $120,000.
Now,
We find the deduction for plum's corporation towards the contribution of computers.
Thus,
The donation of the computers allows for the increased amount contribution at hand with respect to certain inventory. The contribution amount is equal to the lesser of the following:
So,
35000 basis + 50 % * ( 120000 FMV - 35000 basis ) = $ 77500 ( basis + 50 % of the appreciation on the property )
Then
35000 * 2 = $ 70000 ( twice the property's basis )
Hence, Plum’s deduction for the contribution of the computers is 70000.

Assume you are the president of Nuclear Company. At the end of the first year of operations (December 31), the following financial data for the company are available: Accounts Payable$33,000 Accounts Receivable 59,950 Cash 13,500 Common Stock 63,030 Dividends 230 Equipment 32,000 Notes Payable 1,500 Operating Expenses 61,700 Other Expenses 9,000 Sales Revenue 87,300 Supplies 8,450 Prepare a statement of retained earnings for the year ended December 31.
Answer:
Ending retained earnings is $ 16,370.00
Explanation:
Before preparing the statement of retained earnings for the year ended December 31, the net income for the current year needs to be ascertained.
net income=sales revenue-operating expenses-other expenses
net income=$87,300-$61,700-$9000=$ 16,600.00
Statement of Retained earnings for the year ended 31 December:

Required information The Foundational 15 [LO5-1, LO5-3, LO5-4, LO5-5, LO5-6, LO5-7, LO5-8] [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Oslo Company prepared the following contribution format income statement based on a sales volume of 1,000 units (the relevant range of production is 500 units to 1,500 units): Sales $ 20,000 Variable expenses 12,000 Contribution margin 8,000 Fixed expenses 6,000 Net operating income $ 2,000 Foundational 5-11 11. What is the margin of safety in dollars
Answer:
$5,000
Explanation:
Sales $20,000
Variable expenses $12,000
Contribution margin $8,000
Fixed expenses $6,000
Net operating income $2,000
margin of safety in $ = current sales level - break even point
margin of safety in % = (current sales level - break even point) / current sales level
first we need to calculate the contribution margin per unit = $20 - $12 = $8 per unit
break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin = $6,000 / $8 = 750 units
sales level at break even point = 750 x $20 = $15,000
margin of safety in $ = $20,000 - $15,000 = $5,000
margin of safety = ($20,000 - $15,000) / $20,000 = $5,000 / $20,000 = 25%
Victor Rumsfeld Inc.'s dividend policy is under review by its board. Its projected capital budget is $2,000,000, its target capital structure is 60% debt and 40% equity, and its forecasted net income is $300,000. If the company follows a residual dividend policy, what total dividends, if any, will it pay out? Select the correct answer.
Answer:
The multiple choices are
a. $240,000
b. $228,000
c. $216,600
d.$205,770
e. $0
The correct option is E,$0
Explanation:
The funding required from equity is 40% of the projected capital budget of $2000,000 which is expected to be from the profit attributable to stockholders since new issue of shares is not contemplated.
In other words, dividends payable to shareholders is the net income less their counter funding of the project which is computed below:
residual dividends=net income-(equity%*capital outlay)
residual dividends=$300,000-(40%*$2000,000)
=$300,000-$800,000=$0
In essence the $300,000 is not even enough as funds expected from equity less alone paying excess as dividend
Complex companies adopt decentralization in order to realize all of the following benefits, except:________.
1. delegation of control to lower levels of management, thus facilitating their training and development
improved awareness of, and response to, local conditions
2. reduced record-keeping
3. shorter elapsed time from problem identification to decision-making and implementation
4. no exceptions above
Answer:
2. reduced record-keeping
Explanation:
The decentralization is the chain of the processes in which the proper process of all department is followed
Just like from top-level to middle level and then lower level
And, the inverse is lower level to middle level to top level.
The authority and responsibility are delegated to each level of management so that the day to day operations could be performed in a smooth, effective and efficient manner
For the complex companies who adopt decentralization, they have all the benefits like delegation, problem identification but do not reduce record keeping as it is not an easy task for every company
Hence, option 2 is correct
If Katerina were delivering an expository speech about strip mining, she would be presenting _______________________. a. an informative process speech b. an exposition of a theory, principle, or law c. an exposition of political, economic, social, religious, or ethical issues d. an exposition of historical events and forces
Answer:
a. an informative process speech
Explanation:
An expository speech is one that explains the processes involved in doing an activity. It is meant to inform the audience on processes involved in executing a task.
In this scenario strip mining is the process of removing the top layer of soil in order to gain access to a mineral. This process is opposed to digging of deep holes to access minerals. The method is commonly used in coal reserves.
An expository speech by Katerina on strip mining will be an informative process speech on this process of mining minerals
A firm is deciding between two different sewing machines. Technology A has fixed costs of $500 and marginal costs of $50 whereas Technology B has fixed costs of $250 and marginal costs of $100. If the price is $60 per unit, what is the break even amount of units for technology A?A. 50 B. 100 C. 150D. None-They would have to shut down
Answer:
A. 50 units
Explanation:
Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / (Selling price - Variable cost)
= $ 500 / ($ 60 - $ 50)
= $ 500/$10
= 50 units
The break-even point is derived by dividing the fixed costs of production by the price per unit - the variable costs of production. Break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the Income for the particular product
Last year Carson Industries issued a 10-year, 13% semiannual coupon bond at its par value of $1,000. Currently, the bond can be called in 6 years at a price of $1,065 and it sells for $1,200. What is the bond's nominal yield to maturity
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the nominal yield to maturity (YTM) formula as follows:
Yield to maturity = [C + ((F - P) / n)] / [(F + P) / 2] ........ (1)
Where;
F = Face or par value = $1,000
C = Coupon or interest payment = $1,000 * 13% = $130
P = quoted price = $1,200
n = Years to maturity = 10
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Yield to maturity = [130 + ((1,000 - 1,200) / 10)] / [(1,000 + 1,200) / 2] = 0.10, or 10%.
Spotter Corporation reported the following for June in its periodic inventory records. Date Description Units Unit Cost Total Cost June 1 Beginning 20 $ 10.00 $ 200.00 11 Purchase 30 11.00 330.00 24 Purchase 30 13.00 390.00 30 Ending 34 Required: Calculate the cost of ending inventory and the cost of goods sold under the (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, and (c) weighted average cost methods. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round "Weighted Average Cost" to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
(a) FIFO
cost of ending inventory = $442.00
cost of goods sold = $486.00
(b) LIFO
cost of ending inventory = $354.00
cost of goods sold = $566.00
(c) weighted average cost
cost of ending inventory = $391.00
cost of goods sold = $529.00
Explanation:
(a) FIFO
cost of ending inventory
cost of ending inventory = Number of Units left × Earliest Price
= 34 × $13.00
= $442.00
cost of goods sold (46 units sold during the year)
cost of goods sold : 20 units × $10 = $200
26 units × $11 = $286
Total = $486
(b) LIFO
cost of ending inventory
cost of ending inventory : 20 units × $10 = $200
14 units × $11 = $154
Total = $354
cost of goods sold (46 units sold during the year)
cost of goods sold : 30 units × $13 = $390
16 units × $11 = $176
Total = $566
(c) weighted average cost
cost of ending inventory
cost of ending inventory = Number of Units left × Average price
New Average Price = ((20 units × $10) + (30 units × $11)) / 50 units
= $10.60
New Average Price = ((50 units × $10.60) + (30 units × $13)) / 80 units
= $11.50
cost of ending inventory = 34 units × $11.50
= $391.00
cost of goods sold (46 units sold during the year)
cost of goods sold = Number of Units Sold × Average price
= 46 units × $11.50
= $529.00

Rough Stuff makes 2 products: khaki shorts and khaki pants for men. Each product passes through the cutting machine area, which is the chief constraint during production. Khaki shorts take 15 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of shorts of $16. Khaki pants take 24 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of pants of $32. If it is assumed that Rough Stuff has 4,800 hours available on the cutting machine to service a minimum demand for each product of 3,000 units, how much will profits increase if 100 more hours of machine time can be obtained?
Answer:
$8,000
Explanation:
khaki shorts khaki pants
machine minutes per unit 15 24
contribution margin per unit $16 $32
CM per machine minute $1.067 $1.33
minimum demand 3,000 3,000
machine minutes required 45,000 72,000
total machine minutes available 288,000
total machine minutes remaining 171,000
production 0 7,125
total production 3,000 10,125
total contribution margin $48,000 $324,000
if 100 more machines hours are added, then production time increases by 6,000 minutes which can be used to produce 250 more khaki pants. Contribution margin will increase by 250 x $32 = $8,000
I calculated contribution margin per minute, but you could also calculate contribution margin per hour to determine which product is more profitable. Contribution margin per hour for shorts = $64, and for pants = $80. The answer will not change.
Allyson Gomez invests $8,000 today in an investment that earns 6 percent per year (compounded annually) for 25 years. The average inflation rate is expected to be 1.8 percent per year. She will have much more than $8,000 in 25 years BUT what would this future amount be if expressed in today’s dollars? a. $34,335 b. $21,981 c. $52,306 d. $12,496 e. $21,839
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The first thing to do here is to calculate what the amount of money invested would be in 25 years given the interest rate.
Mathematically, that can be written as;
V = P(1 + r)^n
Where V is the future value
P is the present value which is $8,000
r is interest rate which is 6% (6/100 = 0.06)
n is the number of years which is 25 years
Now plugging these values into the equation, we have
V = 8,000(1 + 0.06)^25
V = 8,000(1.06)^25
V = $34,334.97 which is approximately $34,335
We can now proceed to get what this future value would be today if we take the inflation rate into consideration
Mathematically, this can work as follows
P = V(1 + i)^n
Where P is the present value of the money when the inflation is taken into consideration
V is the future value of the money which was calculated from above as $34,335
i is the inflation rate which is 1.8% per annum = (1.8/100 = 0.018)
n is the number of years which is 25
Substituting these values, we have;
P = 34,335/(1 + 0.018)^25
P = 34,335/(1.018)^25
P = 21,980.75
Which is approximately P = $21,981
Levi Corporation (a U.S. company) has several transactions with foreign entities. Each transaction is denominated in the local currency unit of the country in which the foreign entity is located. On December 2, 20X1, Levi sold confectionary items to a foreign company at a price of 50,000 yen when the direct exchange rate was 1 yen = $1.15. The account has not been settled as of the year ended December 31, 20X1, when the exchange rate had changed to 1 yen = $1.12. The foreign exchange gain or loss on Levi's records at year-end for this transaction will be
Answer: $1500 loss
Explanation:
From the question, On December 2, 20X1, Levi sold confectionary items to a foreign company by selling at a price of 50,000 yen when direct exchange rate was 1 yen = $1.15.
Sale value in dollar = 50,000 × 1.15
= $57500
The account has not been settled as of the year ended December 31, 20X1, when exchange rate had changed to 1 yen = $1.12.
Sale value in dollar = 50,000 × 1.12
= $56000
Foreign exchange loss:
= $57500 - $56000
= $1500 loss

Asset management ratios are used to measure how effectively a firm manages its assets, by relating the amount a firm has invested in a particular type of asset (or group of assets) to the amount of revenues the asset is generating. Examples of asset management ratios include the average collection period (also called the days sales outstanding ratio), the inventory turnover ratio, the fixed asset turnover ratio, and the total asset turnover ratio.
Consider the following case:
Walker Telecommunications has a quick ratio of 2.00x, $35,550 in cash, $19,750 in accounts receivable, some inventory, total current assets of $79,000, and total current liabilities of $27,650. The company reported annual sales of $200,000 in the most recent annual report.
Over the past year, how often did Walker Telecommunications sell and replace its inventory?
a. 8.01 x
b. 5.24 x
c. 2.85 x
d. 4.75x
Answer:
Option A 8.01x is the closest answer
Explanation:
Quick ratio =current assets-inventory/current liabilities
let x represent the value of inventory
quick ratio is 2.00
current assets is $79,000
current liabilities is $27,650
2.00=$79,000-x/$27650
2.00*$27,650=$79,000-x
$55,300=$79,000-x
x=$79,000-$55,300
x= $23,700.00
Inventory turnover =sales/inventory
sales is $200,000
Inventory value is $23,700
inventory turnover ratio=$200,000/$23,700=8.44
The closest option is A,

Chang Industries has 1,200 defective units of product that have already cost $13.20 each to produce. A salvage company will purchase the defective units as they are for $4.20 each. Chang's production manager reports that the defects can be corrected for $6.80 per unit, enabling them to be sold at their regular market price of $19.40. The incremental income or loss on reworking the units is: Multiple Choice $18,240 income. $10,080 loss. $8,160 loss. $15,120 income. $10,080 income.
Answer:
$10,080 income
Explanation:
The computation of incremental income or loss on reworking the units is shown below:-
Incremental income on reworking unit = Sales after reworking - Sales to salvage company - Incremental cost
= (1,200 × $19.40) - (1,200 × $4.20) - (1,200 × $6.80)
= $23,280 - $5,040 - $8,160
= $10,080 income
Therefore for computing the Incremental income on reworking unit we simply applied the above formula.

Alain Mire files a single tax return and has adjusted gross income of $309,000. His net investment income is $48,000. What is the additional tax that Alain will pay on his net investment income for the year
Answer: $1,824
Explanation:
According to the IRS, Net Investment Income tax is the lesser figure of either,
i. The net investment income or,
ii. Modified adjusted gross income less the threshold of $200,000 of the person.
The lesser figure is then multiplied by 3.8% to find the tax.
Alain Mire's net Investment Income is $48,000.
His Modified adjusted gross income less the threshold of $200,000 is,
= 309,000 - 200,000
= $109,000
The lesser figure is his Net Investment Income so Additional Tax is,
= 48,000 * 3.8%
= $1,824
