Answer & Explanation: Traditional discipline refers to correctional strategies. Often times, this form of discipline is punitive in nature hence the use of alternatives.
Some alternatives to traditional discipline include the use of MEDIATION, FACILITATION, COUNSELLING.
The use of alternatives to traditional discipline is important to organizational justice when it is complied with across board all employees so that they have a perception of fairness. Also such alternatives are seen to be ethically right, leads to employees being committed, reduces employee turnover and prevents avoidable litigation.
The budgeted finished goods inventory and cost of goods sold for a manufacturing company for the year 2017 are as follows: January 1 finished goods, $765,000; December 31 finished goods, $540,000; cost of goods sold for the year, $2,560,000. The budgeted cost of goods manufactured for the year is a.$1,255,000. b.$2,335,000. c.$2,785,000. d.$3,100,000.
Answer:
$2,335,000= cost of goods manufactured
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
January 1 finished goods, $765,000
December 31 finished goods, $540,000
Cost of goods sold for the year, $2,560,000
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
2,560,000 = 765,000 + cost of goods manufactured - 540,000
2,335,000= cost of goods manufactured
Blackwelder Factory produces two similar products-small lamps and desk lamps. The total plant overhead budget is $667,000 with 465,000 estimated direct labor hours. It is further estimated that small lamp production will require 299,000 direct labor hours and desk lamp production will need 166,000 direct labor hours. Using the single plantwide factory overhead rate with an allocation base of direct labor hours, how much factory overhead will Blackwelder Factory allocate to desk lamp production if actual direct hours for the period is 249,000. a.$356,070 b.$800,936 c.$1,000,500 d.$310,930
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $356,070
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $667,000
Estimated direct labor hours= 465,000
Actual direct labor hours for lamp desk= 249,000
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= 667,000/465,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.43 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.43*249,000
Allocated MOH= $356,070
Assume Strands, a local hair salon, provides cuts, perms, and hairstyling services. Annual fixed costs are $150,000, and variable costs are 40 percent of sales revenue. Last year's revenues totaled $300,000.
(a) Determine its break-even point in sales dollar
(b) Determine last year's margin of safety in sales dollars.
(c) Determine the sales volume required for an annual profit of $80,000.
Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual fixed costs are $150,000, and variable costs are 40 percent of sales revenue. Last year's revenues totaled $300,000.
To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 150,000 / [(300,000*0.6)/300,000]
Break-even point (dollars)= $250,000
Now, we can determine the margin of safety:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= 300,000 - 250,000= $50,000
Finally, the sales dollar required to reach $80,000 profit:
Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= (150,000 + 80,000) / 0.6
Break-even point (dollars)= $383,333.33
Forest Company sells a product for $120 per unit. The variable cost is $50 per unit, and fixed costs are $392,000. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the break-even point in sales units required for the company to achieve a target profit of $152,880.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit= $120
Unitary variable cost= $50
Fixed costs= $392,000
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, using the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 392,000/ (120 - 50)
Break-even point in units= 5,600 units
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 392,000 / (70/120)
Break-even point (dollars)= $672,000
Now, we need to determine the number of units to be sold for the desired profit of $152,880:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (392,000 + 152,880) / 70
Break-even point in units= 7,784 units
The manufacturer Mike and Ike, the fruit-flavored chewy candies, has changed its packaging and developed contests all geared to 12- to 17-year-olds. What type of market segmentation identifies its market
Answer:
Demographic
Explanation:
A market is segmented so as to narrow down a large market into a narrow base, or a target market. This helps the organization to be better focused on providing its services to these target groups of people. A market can be segmented on the basis of demography, psychography, behavior, and geography. Demography deals more with statistical data of the population being studied and would typically include; age, gender, race, income levels, etc.
So, when the manufacturer Mike and Ike changes its packaging and developed contests all geared to 12-17-years-old, he has segmented the market according to demography and age.

Explanation:
The number of new domestic wind turbine generators installed each year in a particular country has been forecast to increase at a constant multiplicative rate of 15% per annum for the foreseeable future. This year (t = 0) 100 new generators were installed. What is the total number of new generators including this year's, that would have been installed within the next ten years (that is up to and including year t = 9)? Use a discrete model for the growth process.
a. 2030
b. 235
c. 1679
d. 900
Answer:
2030
Explanation:
The computation of the total number of new generators including this year is shown below
Given that
(A) = 100
Common Ratio (r) = 1.15
n = 10
Now
Sum of 10 terms Sn is
= A × (r n - 1) ÷ (r - 1)
= 100 × (1.1510 - 1) ÷ (1.15 - 1)
= 100 × 3.0456 ÷ 0.15
= 2030
We simply applied the above formula so that the total number of new generators could come
On September 3, 20X8, Jackson Corporation purchases goods for a U.S. dollar equivalent of $17,000 from a Swiss company. The transaction is denominated in Swiss francs (SFr). The payment is made on October 10. The exchange rates were
Answer:
A.
DR Foreign Currency Transaction loss 1,000
CR Accounts Payable (SFr) $1,000
Explanation:
When the transaction was agreed on September 3, 20X8, the exchange rate was;
$0.85 : 1 franc
Therefore the $17,000 was valued at;
= 17,000/0.85
= 20,000 francs
When the transaction was paid for however, on October 10, the Franc had gained on the dollar by;
= 0.9 - 0.85
= $0.05
This means that the dollar got weaker by $0.05 so the company made a loss of
= 20,000 francs * 0.05
= 1,000 francs
This will be recorded as;
DR Foreign Currency Transaction loss 1,000
CR Accounts Payable (SFr) $1,000

A classified income statement has four major sections—operating revenues, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and non-operating revenues and accounts receivables.
A. True
B. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
The statement in the question that a classified income statement has four major sections which are the operating revenues, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and non-operating revenues and accounts receivables is not true.
It should be noted that a classified income statement is made up of the revenue, the expenses and the non operating revenues and expenses.
Chester Corp. is downsizing the size of their workforce by 10% (to the nearest person) next year from various strategic initiatives. How much will the company pay in separation costs if each worker receives $5,000 when separated?
Answer:
$293,500
Explanation:
The computation of the amount pay in separation cost is shown below:
As there are 587 employees
but 10% are downsized
So, separation cost is
= Current employees × downsized percentage × received amount by workers
= 587 employees × 10% × $5,000
= $293,500
We simply applied the above formula so that the amount pay by the company with respect to the separation cost could arrive
A company issues a ten-year bond at par with a coupon rate of 6.4% paid semi-annually. The YTM at the beginning of the third year of the bond (8 years left to maturity) is 9.1%. What is the new price of the bond?
Answer:
[tex]\mathbf{current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= \$848.78}[/tex]
Explanation:
The current price of the bond can be calculated by using the formula:
[tex]current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= ( coupon \times \dfrac{ (1- \dfrac{1}{(1+YTM)^{no \ of \ period }})}{YTM} + \dfrac{Face \ Value }{(1+YTM ) ^{no \ of \ period}}[/tex]
[tex]current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= ( \dfrac{0.064 \times \$1000}{2} \times \dfrac{ (1- \dfrac{1}{(1+ \dfrac{0.091}{2})^{8 \times 2}})}{\dfrac{0.091}{2}} + \dfrac{\$1000 }{(1+\dfrac{0.091}{2} ) ^{8 \times 2}})[/tex]
[tex]current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= \$32 \times $11.19 + \$490.70[/tex]
[tex]current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= \$358.08+ \$490.70[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{current \ price \ of \ the \ bond= \$848.78}[/tex]
In the United States, the standard methodology for consumers with respect to privacy is to _______________, whereas in the EU it is to ______________.
Answer:
In the United States, the standard methodology for consumers with respect to privacy is opt-out with respect to the United States and her Privacy Law, whereas in the EU it is opt-in.
Explanation:
Privacy laws are laws that provide protection and regulation against storing, using data that might be considered private to an individual or any organisation. such laws act as a guard against any usage of information by governments, public or private organisations, or even other individuals in any part of the world without the owner of such data giving their consent.
Privacy laws, rules, and policies are different from one country to another which all depends on their legal framework and cultural sensitivities in such a nation.
In the United States, the standard methodology for consumers with respect to privacy is opt-out with respect to the United States and her Privacy Law, whereas in the EU it is opt-in.
Opting-out laws cover a spectrum that consists of methods used by an individual to avoid receiving unsolicited service information. When receiving unsolicited service information as a result of data collection a consumer might seek an out way to stop it and to opt-out require affirmative steps to prevent unsolicited service and products. Under opt-out a user can be signed up much more easily.
Opt-In is when an individual chooses to join or participate in something and acknowledging interest in a product or service. Opt-in is used under European data protection rules which grant individuals more control of their data when the person agrees to receive the specified services.
You are trying to decide how much to save for retirement. Assume you plan to save $5,000 per year with the first investment made one year from now. ou think you can earn 11.0% per year on your investments and you plan to retire in 41 years, immediately after making your last $5,000 investment.
a. How much will you have in your retirement account on the day you retire?
b. If, instead of investing $5,000 per year, you wanted to make one lump-sum investment today for your retirement that will result in the same retirement saving, how much would that lump sum need to be?
c. If you hope to live for 28 years in retirement, how much can you withdraw every year in retirement (starting one year after retirement) so that you will just exhaust your savings with the 28th withdrawal (assume your savings will continue to earn 11.0% in retirement)?
d. If, instead, you decide to withdraw $647,000 per year in retirement (again with the first withdrawal one year after retiring), how many years will it take until you exhaust your savings?
e. Assuming the most you can afford to save is $ 1 comma 000$1,000 per year, but you want to retire with
$1,000,000 in your investment account, how high of a return do you need to earn on your investments?
Answer:
a. How much will you have in your retirement account on the day you retire?
future value of the annuity = annual payment x (FV annuity factor, 11%, 40 periods) = $5,000 x 581.826 = $2,909,130b. If, instead of investing $5,000 per year, you wanted to make one lump-sum investment today for your retirement that will result in the same retirement saving, how much would that lump sum need to be?
present value = future value / (1 + interest rate)ⁿ = $2,909,130 / 1.11⁴¹ = $40,320.04c. If you hope to live for 28 years in retirement, how much can you withdraw every year in retirement (starting one year after retirement) so that you will just exhaust your savings with the 28th withdrawal (assume your savings will continue to earn 11.0% in retirement)?
payment = present value / annuity factor (PV annuity factor, 11%, 28 years) = $2,909,130 / 8.60162 = $338,207.22d. If, instead, you decide to withdraw $647,000 per year in retirement (again with the first withdrawal one year after retiring), how many years will it take until you exhaust your savings?
We can first try to get an approximate answer. The annuity factor = $2,909,130 / $647,000 = 4.49633694. Now looking at an annuity table we can look at the closest amount for 11%. The answer is between 6 years (annuity factor 4.2305) and 7 years (annuity factor 4.7122). This means that in less than 7 years you will have no more money left.e. Assuming the most you can afford to save is $ 1 comma 000$1,000 per year, but you want to retire with $1,000,000 in your investment account, how high of a return do you need to earn on your investments?
Again we must use the future value to determine the annuity factor. Annuity factor = $1,000,000 / $1,000 = 1,000. Using an annuity calculator to determine the closest rate (for 40 periods) = 12.9515% ≈ 12.95%In the Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured and Cost of Goods Sold, the cost of goods manufactured is computed according to which of the following equations?
A. Cost of goods manufactured = Total manufacturing costs + Beginning finished goods inventory – Ending finished goods inventory.
B. Cost of goods manufactured = Total manufacturing costs + Beginning work in process inventory – Ending work in process inventory.
C. Cost of goods manufactured = Total manufacturing costs + Ending work in process inventory – Beginning work in process inventory.
D. Cost of goods manufactured = Total manufacturing costs + Ending finished goods inventory – Beginning finished goods inventory.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The cost of goods manufactured calculates the total production cost of manufactured goods in a particular period
A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a rate of 8%. The probability distribution of the risky funds is as follows: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 20 % 30 % Bond fund (B) 12 15 The correlation between the fund returns is 0.10. a-1. What are the investment proportions in the minimum-variance portfolio of the two risky funds. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as decimals rounded to 4 places.) a-2. What is the expected value and standard deviation of the minimum variance portfolio rate of return? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as decimals rounded to 4 places.)
The expected value and standard deviation of the minimum variance portfolio rate of return are 16.20% and 42.61% respectively.
The same old deviation of a portfolio measures how a good deal of the funding returns deviate from the suggestion of the opportunity distribution of investments. placed certainly, it tells traders how a good deal the investment will deviate from its anticipated return.
The same old deviation of the portfolio is usually the same to the weighted average of the same old deviations of the property in the portfolio. A high fashionable deviation in a portfolio indicates a high hazard as it suggests that the profits are especially volatile and unstable.
calculation:-
Weight of Stock =( (17%-5.6%)*40%^2 - (8%-5.6%)*(46%*40%*0.16))/((17%-5.6%)*40%^2 + (8%-5.6%)*46%^2 - (17%-5.6%+8%-5.6% )*(46%*40%*0.16))

c. New medical evidence reports that consumption of organic products reduces the incidence of cancer.
d. The wages of low-skill workers, a resource used to help produce clothing, increase.
Answer:
a. The price of silver increases. - Supply Increase
As the price of silver increases, it will make silver more profitable therefore producers will increase production to take advantage of the higher prices to make more profit in total.
b. Growers of tomatoes experience an unusually good growing season. - Supply Increase
If growers of tomatoes experience a good season, it means that there will be more tomatoes to harvest. This will increase the supply of tomatoes.
c. New medical evidence reports that consumption of organic products reduces the incidence of cancer. - Supply Increase.
Supply of organic products will increase as a result of an anticipated and an actual increase in the demand for organic products as more people will buy them to avoid getting cancer.
d. The wages of low-skill workers, a resource used to help produce clothing, increase. - Supply Decrease
When inputs into the production process increase, producers will tend to cut down production to enable them save cost and maintain profitability. If the wages of low-skill workers increase, it will mean that an input is now more expensive so production of clothing will reduce thereby reducing its supply.

Smathers Corp. stock has a beta of .89. The market risk premium is 7.20 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.93 percent annually. What is the company's cost of equity
Answer: 9.31%
Explanation:
Given: Smathers Corp. stock has a beta of 0.89.
⇒ Beta = 0.89
Risk-free rate = 2.93 percent
Market risk premium = 7.20 percent
Formula: Cost of Equity = [ Risk free rate + (Beta) × ( Market risk premium) ]
Substitute all values, we get
Cost of Equity = [ 2.9 + (0.89) × ( 7.20) ]%
= [2.9+6.41]%
= 9.31%
Hence, the company's cost of equity is 9.31%.
Tony, a hateful, disgruntled, business law teacher notices that a student, Peter, who is past the age of majority, has a nice motorcycle that is for sale. Peter has struggled through school, is in his last semester, and needs to pass business law in order to graduate. Tony tells Peter that he would like to see Peter pass and, in the next sentence, says that he wants to buy the motorcycle for $100, a price far below the value of the motorcycle. Peter asks if Tony is serious about the price, and Tony replies, "I have the power here! Take it or leave it!" Tony proceeds to draw up a contract for the sale of the motorcycle for $100 which Peter signs. Peter does some research and finds that Tony has had several arrests for driving under the influence in a nearby town. As an act of revenge, Peter tells Tony that unless Tony sells Peter his new Mustang convertible for $50, he is publishing the facts about the arrests in the school newspaper. Tony reluctantly agreed to the deal. Which of the following is true if Tony seeks to rescind the contract for the sale of the Mustang?
A. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of duress.
B. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of misappropriation of name or likeness.
C. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of fraud.
D. Tony may not rescind the contract because truth is involved.
E. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of defamation.
Answer: A. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of duress.
Explanation:
For contracts to be considered enforceable, a key factor is that the parties involved must have entered into the agreement of their own accord and free will. Therefore Duress, which denies a person of that free will, becomes a reason why a contract can be voided.
Tony sold Peter the Mustang convertible because Peter had threatened to release details that Tony would rather were kept private so Tony capitulated and sold the Mustang. Had Peter not threatened him, Tony would not have sold the car. This shows that Tony only sold the car under duress and as such can void the contract.

Because orders in organizational buying are typically much larger than in consumer buying, buyers must often __________ when the order is above a specific amount, such as $5,000.
Answer:
get competitive bids from at least three prospective suppliers
Explanation:
In these specific situations, organizational buyers must often get competitive bids from at least three prospective suppliers. This is because due to the fact that the purchasing amounts are very large there can also be large amounts of money saved by saving a couple of percentages on a purchase. Also since the seller can make large profits from a large order like this one, most suppliers place competitive bids in order to win the transaction.

Which of the following is true for a company that doesn't adjust their WACC for project risk? a. The company would accept more average risk projects than they should otherwise. b. The company's risk would decrease. c. The company would accept more less than average risk projects than they should otherwise. d. The company would accept more riskier than average projects than they should otherwise.
Answer: d. The company would accept more riskier than average projects than they should otherwise.
Explanation:
A company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital can enable it know the calibre of risk to accept from new project because it shows the business risk of funding current business operations.
If a project will bring more risk to the company, the WACC should be adjusted so that the company will get a fair rate of return from the new project. If they do not adjust the new project for risk, not only will the company not get a fair return but they might also accept riskier projects because they will accept projects that they think have a lower risk than their WACC even though they are higher because they did not adjust their WACC.
A 30 year $1,000 par 4 3/4% Treasury Bond is quoted at 95-11 - 95-15. The note pays interest on Jan 1st and Jul 1st. A customer buys 1 bond at the ask price. What is the current yield, disregarding commissions

Answer:
shutdown in the short run
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A firm should shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost.
for T-Shirt Enterprises, price is $2 which is less than average variable cost

If Treasury bills are currently paying 6.5 percent and the inflation rate is 1.3 percent, what is the approximate and the exact real rate of interest
Answer:
the approximate real interest rate = nominal rate - inflation rate = 6.5% - 1.3% = 5.2%
the exact real interest rate is calculated using the following formula:
(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) (1 + expected rate of inflation)
(1 + 0.065) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + 0.013)
1 + real interest rate = (1 + 0.065) / (1 + 0.013) = 1.065 / 1.013 = 1.05133
real interest rate = 1.05133 - 1 = 0.05133 = 5.13%
