Answer:
C) it can create an incentive for managers to manipulate information to prop up a stock price temporarily, giving them a chance to cash out before the price returns to a level reflective of the firm's true prospects
Explanation:
A disadvantage of using stock options to compensate managers is that it can create an incentive for managers to manipulate information to prop up a stock price temporarily, giving them a chance to cash out before the price returns to a level reflective of the firm's true prospects.
A stock option is a contractual agreement that gives a buyer (investor) the right but certainly not an obligation to buy or sell a stock at a specified price and date, depending on the options' form. Generally, in business finance there are basically two (2) types of options;
1. Puts: it is a bet that a stock will likely fall in the short or long run.
2. Calls: it involves betting that a stock will rise in the short run or long run.
Hence, if managers are compensated with a stock option it gives them the opportunity to cash out early.
Suppose output is $35 billion, government purchases are $10 billion, desired consumption is $15 billion, and desired investment is $6 billion. Net foreign lending would be equal to
Answer:
Net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.
Explanation:
This can be computed using the formula for computing the total output of an open economy as follows:
Y = C + G + I + NX .................................. (1)
Where;
Y = Total Output = $35 billion
C = Desired consumption = $15 billion
G = Government purchases = $10 billion
I = Desired investment = $6 billion
NX = Net foreign lending = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for NX, we have:
$35 = $15 + $10 + $6 + NX
$35 - $15 - $10 - $6 = NX
NX = $4 billion
Therefore, net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.
Life Savers Gummies Fruit Splosions, liquid-filled gummies combined with a burst of real fruit juice, are a new product for The Wrigley Co. Before marketing the product nationwide, Wrigley gave out samples of the candy at several rock concerts and then recorded consumers' feelings about the candy, its taste, and its name. In which stage of the new-product development process would this have happened
Answer: D. Test marketing
Explanation:
Test Marketing is a stage in the New Product Development process where the product is tested in the real world or the Field Laboratory as it is otherwise known. Here the consumers are given a sample of the products and their responses are recorded without them knowing they are part of a test making their reactions as genuine as can be.
This stage helps the company more accurately ascertain how the new product will fare in the real world thereby giving them a chance to fix whatever needs fixing.

Ben has $500 in his savings account and the bank pays an interest rate of 10 percent a year. The inflation rate is 6 percent a year. The government taxes the interest that Ben earns on his deposit at 20 percent. Calculate the nominal after-tax interest rate and the real after-tax interest rate that Ben earns.
Answer:
Nominal after-tax interest rate = 8%Real After-Tax Interest Rate = 2%Explanation:
The Nominal rate is 10%
Inflation rate is 6%
And Tax rate is 20%
Nominal after-tax interest rate
= Nominal rate (1 - tax rate)
= 10% ( 1 - 0.2)
= 8%
Real After-Tax Interest Rate
= Nominal after-tax interest rate - inflation rate
= 8% - 6%
= 2%

Explanation:
Journal entries initially record transactions on a day-to-day basis. From the journal, the transactions are posted to the ledger accounts (e.g. T-accounts) and a trial balance is extracted to check if the two sides are in agreement. At the end of the accounting period, adjusting entries are recorded in the general journal to ensure that accounts are based on the accrual concept and not on cash basis.
The Suds Corporation has just suffered significant losses of revenue for three quarters in a row, and the shareholders are furious. Much of the loss can be attributed to the board's decision to change from their traditional lager beer to a lighter and smoother brew. Unfortunately, the new recipe alienated current customers and failed to bring in new customers. Although Suds has announced that it will return to its original product, the shareholders are claiming the board violated its fiduciary duty of care, and they are suing the directors personally for their significant losses. What must the shareholders prove to win their lawsuit
Answer and Explanation:
The fiduciary duty of care also called duty of care is the fudicaiary responsibility that requires board directors of a company to act and make decisions in good faith, having the best interest of the company in mind. This duty(whether written or implied) makes board directors responsible in ensuring that decisions made for the company are sound, ethical and legal.
In the above example, board directors of the suds corporation may have not performed this duty as required but this would depend on thorough investigation to ascertain the method and process by which the decision was arrived on. For instance, we are sure the decision was legal and also ethical(as they were only out to improve on company products and increase revenue likewise), we are not sure however of the soundness of this decision. This leads us to investigate the processes and results obtained from enquiring/researching on this new product decided on by the board. Therefore was it sound according to these results and processes. This is where evidence of a breach of duty by the board may be found

Answer:
Debit Insurance expenses for $57
Credit Prepaid insurance for $57
Explanation:
From the Trial Balance, Prepaid Insurance is $75. Since on December 31, 2022, the insurance still unexpired amounted to $18, the insurance expenses for the year can therefore be calculated as follows:
Insurance expenses = $75 - $18 = $57
The adjusting entries will therefore be as follows:
Particulars Dr ($) Cr ($)
Insurance expenses 57
Prepaid insurance 57
(To record insurance expenses for the year.)
Note that the amount of $18 unexpired insurance will now be the Prepaid insurance that will appear as an asset under the Current Asset in the balance sheet, while the $57 insurance expenses will be charged as an expense in the income statement.
On January 1, Year 1, Stratton Company borrowed $100,000 on a 10-year, 7% installment note payable. The terms of the note require Stratton to pay 10 equal payments of $14,238 each December 31 for 10 years.

Answer:
Computation of the interest expense using the equation as shown below:
Interest expense for year 1 = Notes payable * Interest rate
= $100,000 * 10%
= $7,000
Notes payable reduction in Year 1 = $14,238 - $7,000
= $7,238

Interest expense = ($100,000 - $7,238) * 7%
= $92,762 * 7%
=$6,493

Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $240,000 and have a useful life of five years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $69,230 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $9,000. A machine costs $170,000, has a $13,000 salvage value, is expected to last nine years, and will generate an after-tax income of $38,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Answer:
Investment Payback period(in years)
A 2.08
B 3.066
Explanation:
The payback period is the length of time in years it will take the net cash inflow of a project to recoup its initial cost
Payback period = Initial cost of investment /Annual net cash inflow
Investment A
Annual depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Number of years
= (240,000 - 9,000)/5 =
Annul cash inflow = 69,230 + 46200 = 115,430
Payback period = Initial cost of investment /Annual net cash inflow
= 240,000/ 115,430 = 2.079
Investment B
Annual depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Number of years
= (170,000 - 13,000)/9 = 17,444.444
Annul cash inflow= 38,000 + 17,444.44= 55,444.44
Payback period = 170,000 /55,444.44 =3.067
Investment Payback period(in years)
A 2.08
B 3.066

A machine costing $57,000 with a six-year life and $54,000 depreciable cost was purchased January 1. Compute the yearly depreciation expense using straight-line depreciation.
Answer:
$9,000
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense using the straight-line method is shown below;
= (Purchase value of machinery - residual value) ÷ (estimated useful life)
= $54,000 ÷ 6 years
= $9,000
The depreciation cost is the cost which is come after considering the salvage value and the same is to be considered
Hence, the depreciation expense is $9,000
An account is today credited with its annual interest thereby bringing the accountbalance to $12,490. The interest rate is 5.70% compounded annually. You plan tomake annual withdrawals of $1,450 each. The first withdrawal is in exactly one yearand the last in exactly 9 years. Find the account balance immediately after the lastwithdrawal.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the account balance be B .
Equating the present value of money at 5.7 % discount
12490 = 1450 ( PVIFA , 5.7 , 9 ) + B ( PVIF , 5.7 , 9 )
= 1450 x 6.8938 + .6072 x B
= 9996.01 + .6072B
.6072 B = 2494
B = 4107
Considering the added value chain, backward integration refers to acquiring capabilities toward suppliers, while forward integration refers to acquiring capabilities toward distribution or even customers.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
a) true.
Explanation:
Backward integration can be defined as a process in which companies use a strategy of integrating with their suppliers in order to add value to their value chain. The advantages of this process are increased production efficiency, decreased costs, increased quality, increased profitability.
Forward integration refers to a company's control process in its supply chain.

Consider the market for minivans (Some would describe a minivan as a family car). Looking at the two statements, which one is true and which one is false? Then again, are they both true or both false? Statement 1: People decide to have fewer children. The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right. Statement 2: The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth (Hint: Minivan would be considered a normal good). The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right.
Answer:
both statements are false
Explanation:
if People decide to have fewer children, there would be less demand for minivans as a result the demand curve would shift to the left.
also, if The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth and minivans are normal goods, the demand for minivans would fall and the demand curve would shift to the left.
A leftward shift signifies a fall in demand while a rightward shift signals a rise in demand
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls

Jamison Company purchased the assets of Booker Company at an auction for $4,200,000. An independent appraisal of the fair value of the assets is listed below:
Land $1,425,000
Building 2,100,000
Equipment 1,575,000
Trucks 2,550,000
Assuming that specific identification costs are impracticable and that Jamison allocates the purchase price on the basis of the relative fair values, what amount would be allocated to the Trucks?
A. $1,400,000
B. $2,100,000
C. $2,520,000
D. $2,550,000
Answer:
A. $1,400,000
Explanation:
Amount to be allocated = Auction price / Total individual price * Truck price
Auction price = $4,200,000
Total individual price = $1,425,000 + $2,100,000 + 1,575,000 + $2,550,000 = $7,650,000
Truck price = $2,550,000
Amount to be allocated = ($4,200,000 / $7,650,000) * $2,550,000
Amount to be allocated = $1,400,000

Its choices are given below. The cost of investment in manufacturing facilities will be a major one for the Canadian firm, but it is not outside its reach. If these are the firm's only options, which one would you advise it to choose? Why?
a. Manufacture the product at home and let foreign sales agents handle marketing.
b. Manufacture the product at home and set up a wholly owned subsidiary in Europe to handle marketing.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
a. Manufacture the product at home and let foreign sales agents handle marketing.
Explanation:
For the small Canadian company, manufacturing the product at home (Canada) would afford them the opportunity to protect their new medical product from piracy. Also, they would be able to receive tax incentives from their government as well file for patent of their new innovation.
The foreign agent would strictly be focused on the marketing of the finished product without having access to the detailed information of the product.
Which of the following is the easiest but least accurate of the commonly used methods for allocating support department costs to production departments?
A. Sequential method
B. Activity-based management method
C. Reciprocal services method
D. Direct method
Answer:
D. Direct method
Explanation:
Cost allocation in financial accounting can be defined as the process of identifying, gathering and assigning of cost across multiple cost objects such as products, inventory or departments.
There are various types of cost allocation methods and these are;
1. Sequential method.
2. Activity-based management method.
3. Reciprocal services method.
4. Direct method.
The direct method is an allocation method for cost, where costs of the production service department are directly allocated to the production (operating) department of a firm or business entity using appropriate allocation base and then allocated to the product itself.
Generally, the direct method is the easiest (simplest) but least accurate of the commonly used methods for allocating support department costs to production departments.

Palin's Muffler Shop has one standard muffler that fits a large variety of cars. The shop wishes to establish a periodic review system to manage inventory of this standard muffler. Use the information in the following table to determine the optimal inventory target level (or order-up-to level).
Annual demand 2,870 mufflers Ordering cost $65per order
Standard deviation of daily demand 6 mufflers per working day Service probability 76%
Item cost $31.00 per muffler Lead time 2 working days
Annual holding cost 22% of item value Working days 205 per year
Review period 16working days
a. What is the optimal target level (order-up-to level)? (Use Excel's NORMSINV) function to find the correct critical value for the given
α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round ''z'' value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.)
b. If the service probability requirement is 97 percent, the optimal target level will:
_____Increase
_____Decrease
_____Stay the same
Answer:
A.) 270 units (b.) Increase
Explanation:
Given the following :
Annual demand (A) = 2870
Working days = 205
Review period (P) = 16 working days
Lead time (L) = 2 working days
Standard deviation (σ) = 6 per working day
Service probability = 76%
Therefore, z = NORMSINV(0.76) = 0.71
Average demand (D) = 2870 / 205 = 14
Optimum target level, (S) is given by the relation:
D×(P+L) + z×σ×√(P+L)
14×(16+2) + 0.71×6×√(16+2)
(14×18) + 4.26 × √18
252 + 4.26*4.242
252 + 18.07
= 270.07 units = 270 units
B) If service probability increases to 97%, Z will automatically increase, hence a corresponding increase in the optimal target level.

King enterprises has an Total Asset Turnover ratio of 5.0, Profit margin of 3%, and a ROE equals to 18%. What is the firm's equity mulitplier (Total Asset/Equity)? Use DuPont Analysis.
Answer: 1.2
Explanation:
The DuPont Analysis is a method of calculating the Return on Equity by using various other ratios. It shows the relatiosnhips between variables in a firm and can help the firm know which areas to target to improve ROE.
Using the DuPont Analysis, the Return on Equity is;
ROE = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier
18% = 3% * 5 * Equity Multiplier
18% = 0.15 * Equity Multiplier
Equity Multiplier = 18%/0.15
Equity Multiplier = 1.2
