Hannigan Lumber employs 155 workers. One of the firm's former employees used the Civil Rights Act of 1991 to file and win a discrimination lawsuit against Hannigan Lumber. What is the maximum amount of punitive damages that the former employee could receive
Answer: $100,000
Explanation:
The Civil Rights Act of 1991 prohibits every form discrimination in organizations that are based on religion, race, gender, color, or ethnic considerations.
Since Hannigan Lumber employs 155 workers, if one of the firm's former employees used the Civil Rights Act of 1991 to file and win a discrimination lawsuit against Hannigan Lumber, the maximum amount of punitive damages that the former employee could receive will be $100,000.
This is because according to the law, an employer that has employees of about 101-200 workers will pay demages of $100,000 if a discrimination lawsuit is won.
Imagine you have some workers and some handheld computers that you can use to take inventory at a warehouse. There are diminishing returns to taking inventory. If one worker uses one computer, he can inventory 150 items per hour. Two workers sharing a computer can together inventory 200 items per hour. Three workers sharing a computer can together inventory 250 items per hour. And four or more workers sharing a computer can together inventory 260 items per hour. Computers cost $125 each and you must pay each worker $30 per hour.
a. If you assign one worker per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places.
$ _____ per item
b. If you assign two workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places.
$ _____ per item
c. If you assign three workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places.
$_____ per item
d. If you assign four workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places.
$_____ per item.
e. How many workers per computer should you assign if you wish to minimize the cost of inventory per single item?
_____ worker(s) per computer
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of each point is shown below:-
a. If one worker per computer, so the cost of inventorying a single item is
Cost = Total cost ÷ Number of units inventoried
= ($125 + $30) ÷ 150
= $155 ÷ 150
= $1.03
b. If two workers per computer, so the cost of inventorying a single item is
Wage = $30 × 2
= $60
Cost = Total cost ÷ Number of units inventoried
= ($60 + $125) ÷ 200
= $175 ÷ 200
= $0.88
c. If three workers per computer, so the cost of inventorying a single item is
Wages = $30 × 3
= $90
Cost = Total cost ÷ Number of units inventoried
= ($90 + $125) ÷ 250
= $215 ÷ 250
= $0.86
d. If four workers per computer so, the cost of inventorying a single item is
Wages = $30 × 4
= $120
Cost = Total cost ÷ Number of units inventoried
= ($120 + $125) ÷ 250
= $245 ÷ 250
= $0.98
e. According to the above calculation, there are three workers which are to be assigned per computer so that the inventory amount can be reduced.

A company had the following treasury-stock related account balances: Treasury Stock - $150,000 Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock Transactions - $15,000 If the company resells Treasury Stock that originally cost $50,000 for $40,000, then __________.
Answer: If the company resells Treasury Stock that originally cost $50,000 for $40,000, then paid-in capital from treasury stock transactions is reduced by $10,000.
Explanation:
Given: A company had the following treasury-stock related account balances: Treasury Stock - $150,000
Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock Transactions - $15,000
If the company resells Treasury Stock that originally cost $50,000 for $40,000.
$40,000< $50,000 implies reduction in paid-in capital from treasury stock.
i.e. Reduced Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock Transactions = $50,000- $40,000
= $10,000
So, if the company resells Treasury Stock that originally cost $50,000 for $40,000, then paid-in capital from treasury stock transactions is reduced by $10,000.

Pat is a rich boy whose parents supply him with every conceivable necessity of life. While still a minor, Pat buys a coat on credit from a men's store for $5,000. After wearing the coat for a while, Pat decides that it bores him and that he would like to disaffirm. Which of the following is most likely to be true? Assume that Pat is still a minor.
A. Pat can disaffirm the contract, but the store will sue him for deceit.
B. Pat cannot disaffirm the contract, and he is liable for the full price of the coat ($5,000).
C. Pat cannot disaffirm the contract, but he is liable only for the reasonable value of the coat.
D. Pat can disaffirm the contract, and he must return the coat.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Generally speaking, a minor may disaffirm a contract at any time during minority or for a reasonable time after the minor comes of age. When a minor disaffirms a contract, all property that he or she has transferred as consideration can be recovered -- even if it was subsequently transferred to a third party. But to say something is disaffirm is to say it never exsited so therefore the store would be able to sue.
Q 5.15: At the beginning of January 2017, a company reported inventory of $4,000. During the month, the company made purchases of $17,800. On January 31, 2017, a physical count of inventory reported $4,200 on hand. Find the cost of goods sold for the month.
Answer:
COGS= $17,600
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= $4,000
Purchase= $17,800
Ending inventory= $4,200
To calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS), we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory
COGS= 4,000 + 17,800 - 4,200
COGS= 17,600
Drag and drop pricing approaches against the corresponding examples of the approaches.
1. Cost-oriented drop zone empty.
2. Competition-oriented drop zone empty.
3. Demand-oriented drop zone empty.
4. Profit-oriented drop zone empty.
Answer:
1. Cost - oriented => Economic or value added
2. Competition - Oriented => Price Penetration
3. Demand - Oriented => Price Skimming
4. Profit - Oriented => Premium pricing
Explanation:
Price penetration is a strategy in which low price is charged when the product is introduced in the market and then gradually the prices may rise. This strategy is best suited for competition oriented environment. Premium pricing is a strategy in which high prices are set for goods and then the same price level is maintained for the product. This is best for niche players in the business who capture around 80% of market share and those markets where the competition is near to none.

As a result of a slowdown in operations, Mercantile Stores is offering to employees who have been terminated a severance package of $100,000 cash, another $100,000 to be paid in one year, and an annuity of $30,000 to be paid each year for 20 years. Use present value tables to compute the present value of the complete package, assuming an interest rate of 8 percent. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1)
Answer:
$487,137.
Explanation:
So,new are given the following data or parameters or information which is going to aid or assist us in solving this particular Question or problem.
=> "Mercantile Stores is offering to employees who have been terminated a severance package of $100,000 cash, another $100,000 to be paid in one year, and an annuity of $30,000 to be paid each year for 20 years. "
=> "assuming an interest rate of 8 percent. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1)"
STEP ONE: determine the present value of a payment in 1 year.
Present value = face value/ (1 + rate of interest)^number of year.
Present value = 100,000/ (1 + 0.08)^1.
Present value = $294,544
STEP TWO: determine the present value in the next 20 years.
Present value in the next 20 years = 30,000/0.08 { 1 - (1 + 0.08)^-20}.
Present value in the next 20 years = $294,544.
STEP THREE: detemine the total present value.
total present value = $100,000 + $294,544 + $294,544 = $487,137.
Present value of complete package is $487,137 (Approx.)
Given that;
Future value FV = $100,000
Number of year n = 1
Rate of interest r = 8% = 0.08
Number of annuity year n = 20
Annual annuity = $30,000
Find:
Present value of complete package
Computation:
PV for 1 year payment;
PV = FV/(1+r)ⁿ
PV = 100,000/(1+0.08)¹
PV = 100,000/(1.08)
PV = $92,592.6 (Approx.)
PV for 20 year payment;
PV = [A/r][1-(1+r)⁻ⁿ]
PV = [30,000/0.08][1-(1+0.08)⁻²⁰]
PV = $294,544.4 (Approx.)
Present value of complete package = $100,000 + $92,592.6 + $294,544.4
Present value of complete package = $487,137 (Approx.)

Suppose that the production of $500,000 worth of steel in the United States requires $100,000 worth of iron ore. The U.S. nominal tariff rates are 15 percent for steel and 5 percent for iron ore. Given this information, the effective rate of protection for the U.S. steel industry is approximately
Answer:
The effective rate of protection for the U.S. steel industry is approximately 17.5%
Explanation:
Mathematically, the effective rate of protection is calculated as follows;
e = (n-ab)/(1-a)
where n is the nominal tariff rate on the final product , a is the ratio of the value of the imported input to the value of the finished product and b is the nominal tariff rate on the imported input
Mathematically;
a = value of iron ore/value of steel = 100,00/500,000 = 1/5 = 0.2
From the question, we can see that nominal tariff rate for steel n = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15
The nominal rate for iron ore b = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05
So we substitute all of these into the equation of e above
e = {0.15-0.2(0.05)}/(1-0.2) = (0.15-0.01)/0.8 = 0.14/0.8 = 0.175 which is same as 17.5%
A company uses the weighted-average method for inventory costing. At the end of the period, 19,000 units were in the ending Work in Process inventory and are 100% complete for materials and 68% complete for conversion. The equivalent costs per unit are materials, $2.58, and conversion $2.20. Compute the cost that would be assigned to the ending Work in Process inventory for the period.
Answer: $77,444
Explanation:
Given the following :
Ending work in process inventory = 19,000 units
Complete for materials = 100%
Complete for conversion = 68%
Equivalent cost per unit (material) = $2.58
Equivalent cost per unit (conversion) = $2.20
Cost of ending work in process inventory (materials) :
Cost per unit (material) * (ending work in process inventory) * complete for material
$2.58 * 19000 * 100% = $49,020
Cost of ending work in process inventory (conversion) :
Cost per unit (conversion) * (ending work in process inventory) * complete for conversion
$2.20 * 19000 * 68% = $49,020
$2.20 * 19000 * 0.68 = $28,424
Total cost (ending work in process inventory) :
Material cost + conversion cost
$49,020 + $28,424 = $77444

Janet and Chrissy want to move into an apartment near their school. They have agreed to divide all costs equally. They plan to use a broker to find their apartment. The broker charges 20% of the first month's rent as a finder's fee. Their first choice apartment rents for $850.00 per month. The landlord requires the first month's rent plus a security deposit of 1.5 month's rent. How much money will Janet need in order to move in to this apartment?
Answer: $1147.50
Explanation:
Monthly apartment fee = $850
Broker's charge = 20% of first month fee
Security deposit = 1.5 months rent
Therefore,
Broker's fee = 20% × $850
= 0.2 × $850 = $170
Security deposit = 1.5 × $850 =$1275
Total fee = $850 + $1275 + $170 = $2295
Since Chrissy and Janet are sharing the fee equally:
Janet's share :
50% of $2295 = $1147.50

If a service level of 95% is desired then the company's reorder point for this component would be approximately Group of answer choices
Answer:
4,747
Explanation:
The computation of the reorder point is shown below:-
Reorder Point = Average Daily demand × Lead time + ( Service level × (Average lead time × standard deviation of demand^2 )^ 0.5
For service probability level of 95% is 1.64
= 500 × 9 + 1.64 × (9 × 50^2)^0.5
= 4,500 + 1.64 × 150
= 4,500 + 247
= 4,747
Therefore for computing the reorder point we simply applied the above formula.

For example, the sticky-wage theory asserts that output prices adjust more quickly to changes in the price level than wages do, in part because of long-term wage contracts. Suppose a firm signs a contract agreeing to pay its workers $15 per hour for the next year, based on an expected price level of 100. If the actual price level turns out to be 110, the firm's output prices will
Answer:
The firm's output prices will increase, because will the firm can quickly adjusts the prices of goods to the new price level of 110, it will not have to do so with wages, since wages are fixed by a year contract.
This will result in comparatively lower labor costs with higher prices at the same time, which will likely result in more economic and accounting profit for the firm.
The opposite effect will be felt by workers, whose wage is not keeping up with inflation, meaning that their income is losing purchasing power.
