Ashley is an attorney and also an excellent typist. She can type 120 words per minute, but she charges attorney fees at $100 per hour. Benjamin would like some typing work but can only type 60 words per minute. According to the law of comparative advantage, Ashley should hire Benjamin to do her typing if and only if his wage rate is less than:__________
Answer:
$50 / hr
Explanation:
The law of comparative advantage states that an entity should be able to produce its goods and services at a lower opportunity cost compared others in the same line of business so as to have an edge in the market.
Looking at the scenario ,if Ashley can type 120 words in a minute and also earn $100 / hr as an attorney , the opportunity cost of settling for the attorney work is the income earned through typing.
The law states that goods and services should be produced at a cost lower to the opportunity cost. To Ashley , the cost of hiring Benjamin should not be more than half of her hourly income as Benjamin production rate is half of hers.

Stock QWE plans to pay dividends of $3.00, $3.50, and $4.00 in each of the next three years. If the price of this stock will be $50.00 at the end of three years and the required rate of return by shareholders is 15%, then what is the value of the stock today
Answer:
$40.76
Explanation:
Calculation of the value of the stock today
First step is find the value of stock for each year.
The Value of stock today will be:
First year =($3.00 / 1.15^¹)
First year=($3.00/1.15)
First year=$2.61
Second year= ($3.50 / 1.15^²)
Second year =($3.50/1.3225)
Second year =$2.65
Third year= ($4.00 / 1.15^3)
Third year=($4.00/1.520875)
Third year =$2.63
End of third year= ($50.00 / 1.15^3)
End of third year = ($50.00/1.520875)
End of third year =$32.88
Last step is to add the amount for each year up
V0= $2.61 + $2.65 + $2.63 + $32.88
V0= $40.76
Therefore the value of the stock today will be $40.76
Mr. Barker enjoys a comfortable retirement income. He recently had surgery and expected that he would have certain services and items covered by the plan with minimal out-of-pocket costs because his MA-PD coverage has been very good. However, when he received the bill, he was surprised to see large charges in excess of his maximum out-of-pocket limit that included a number of services and items he thought would be fully covered. He called you to ask what he could do? What could you tell him?
Answer:
What you could tell him is that you can offer to help him review all the plans appeal process as well as to help him ask the plan to review his coverage decision which will enable him to know why he had large charges in excess of his maximum out-of-pocket limit.
Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told that when he received the bill, their was large charges in excess of his maximum out-of-pocket limit which is a limit on the amount of money a person or an individual have to pay for covered medical care services in which we were still told that the large charges in excess of his maximum out-of-pocket limit also include a number of services and items he thought would be fully covered, therefore since he called you to ask what he could do, What you could tell him is that you will offer to help him review all the plans appeal process and to as well help him to ask the plan to review the coverage decision which is why coverage decision is of benefit because it enables a person or an individual to makes decision about their benefits including the amount they have to pay for their medical services plan.
Even Better Products has come out with a new and improved product. As a result, the firm projects an ROE of 20%, and it will maintain a plowback ratio of 0.30. Its projected earnings are $2 per share. Investors expect a 14% rate of return on the stock.

At what price and P/E ratio would you expect the firm to sell? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Price $
P/E ratio
b.
What is the present value of growth opportunities? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

c.
What would be the P/E ratio and the present value of growth opportunities if the firm planned to reinvest only 20% of its earnings? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
P/E ratio
PVGO $
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The price and P/E ratio is
Price = Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
where,
Growth rate is
= ROE × plowback ratio
= 20% × 0.30
= 6%
And, the current year dividend is ×
= $2 × (1 - 0.30)
= $1.4
So, the price is
= $1.4 ÷ (0.14 - 0.06)
= $17.50
Now the P/E ratio is
= $17.50 ÷ 2
= 8.75
b) For the present value of growth opportunities, the formula and the computation is
= Price of the stock - earnings ÷ required rate of return
= $17.50 - $2 ÷ 0.14
= 3.21
c) The P/E ratio and the present value of growth opportunities is
But before that we need to find out the price which is
Price = Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
where,
Growth rate is
= ROE × plowback ratio
= 20% × 0.20
= 4%
And, the current year dividend is
= $2 × (1 - 0.20)
= $1.6
So, the price is
= $1.6 ÷ (0.14 - 0.04)
= $16
Now the P/E ratio is
= $16 ÷ 2
= 8
And, the growth opportunities is
= Price of the stock - earnings ÷ required rate of return
= $16 - $2 ÷ 0.14
= 1.72

The Credit Alliance v. Arthur Andersen & Co. case established three tests that must be satisfied for holding auditors liable for negligence to third parties. All of the following are tests described except :________.
a) Knowledge by the accountant that the financial statements are to be used for a particular purpose.
b) The intention of the third party to rely on those statements.
c) Some action by the accountant linking hi or her to the third party than provides evidence of the accountant's understanding of intented reliance.
d) The identity of the third party must be directly known to the auditor.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
The Credit Alliance v. Arthur Andersen & Co. is a case that questions if an accountant should be held liable to the third party on whom it is reliable to his detriment absent privity of contract.
The Court of Appeals of New York, on July 2, 1985, affirmed that an auditor should not be held liable if they fulfill the following three requirements.
The auditor should have knowledge that the financial statements will be used for a particular purpose.The intention of the third party to rely on those statements. Some action should have been there by the acccountant that links him or her to the third party which will clarify the auditor to understand why third party is relying in the statement.So, from the options stated in the question, one that is not included in this case is the fourth one. Thus the correct answer is option D.

Aria’s, Inc. has 1,000 shares of 5%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock and 10,000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding. The company has not paid dividends in two years. In its third year, it paid the common shareholders a $2 per-share dividend, plus the amount owed to preferred shareholders. What is the total amount of dividends paid?
Answer:
The total amount of dividends paid by Aria’s, Inc. is $30,000.
Explanation:
The total amount of dividends paid by Aria’s, Inc. can be obtained by adding the dividends paid to common shareholders and preferred stockholders as follows:
Annual dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders = Number of cumulative preferred shares * Par value of the share * Dividend rate = 1,000 * $100 * 5% = $5,000
Since Aria’s, Inc. has has not paid dividends in two years, the total dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders is as follows:
Total dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders = Annual dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders * 2 = $5,000 * 2 = $10,000
Dividend paid to common stockholders = Number of common shares * Common shares dividend per share = 10,000 * $2 = $20,000
Therefore, we have:
Total amount of dividends paid = Total dividend paid to cumulative preferred stockholders + Dividend paid to common stockholders = $10,000 + $20,000 = $30,000
Therefore, the total amount of dividends paid by Aria’s, Inc. is $30,000.

Answer:
Many small business owners decide to set up an LLC for the liability protection it provides. An LLC, or limited liability company, exists separately from its owners (known as members), and the owners are therefore not personally responsible for business debts.Most states don’t allow two different business entities to have the same name. So you can’t, for example, have “Joe’s Donuts, LLC” and “Joe’s Donuts, Inc.,” even if they’re located in different cities. Many states also restrict companies from using certain words in their names, such as “bank.” If the LLC name you’ve selected is available, but you aren’t going to be filing your LLC documents right away, you may want to reserve the name. Nearly every state allows you to reserve a name by filing a form and paying a name reservation fee. The length of the reservation period, filing fees, and renewal policies vary from state to state.Almost every state requires its LLCs to name a registered agent (also sometimes called a statutory agent). A registered agent is a person who agrees to receive lawsuits, subpoenas and other official documents on behalf of the LLC and to pass them along to the appropriate person at the LLC.An LLC operating agreement is the roadmap that describes how your LLC will be run. It specifies such things as the ownership interests and voting rights of the members, how profits and losses will be allocated, how meetings will be held, how the business will be governed, the rights of the members if one of them dies or leaves the business, and the way the company will be dissolved if it goes out of business.Each state has its own form and procedure for establishing an LLC. In general, you must file articles of organization that list.After the LLC’s formation documents are filed and approved, the state will issue a certificate or other document that confirms that your LLC formally exists. Once you’ve received the certificate, you can take care of business matters like obtaining a tax ID number and business licenses and setting up a business bank account. Explanation:If your LLC does business in more than one state, you may need to register to do business in other states. To do this, you’ll need to fill out and submit paperwork that’s similar to the paperwork you filed when you formed your LLC. You’ll also need a registered agent in each state where you are authorized to do business.
When would a court consider the adequacy of consideration? Select one: A. To verify that a sale of assets was not done to avoid payment to creditors. B. When one party has promised forbearance as consideration. C. To verify that one party gave a promise in return for the act of another party. D. To verify that each party gave a valid promise to the other party. E. To verify that property was sold at its fair market value.
Answer:
E. To verify that property was sold at its fair market value
Explanation:
Adequacy of consideration is an aspect of law that says a lawful agreement is made when the buyer of a good or service gives a fair price for offerings made by the seller.
The fair price may however come in different forms - property, a promise to perform an action, an act, or money.
For example if a person offers to sell a car at $3,000 and the buyer accepts this price, the agreement is said to have adequate consideration.
If a court determines that a contract does not meet fair market price of goods and services sold, it can nullify the contract

The six sigma approach to quality control: Multiple Choice detects potential problems early to prevent their occurrence. views quality control as a function of the marketing department. allows only 600 defective units per one thousand units produced. relies on a special team of experts to examine every unit of output at the end of the production process.
Answer:
detects potential problems early to prevent their occurrence.
Explanation:
Six Sigma is a quality business management strategy which helps business organizations to improve the quality of processes, products and services by discovering and eliminating defects, variations or errors. It is a strategic business concept that was developed in 1986 by Motorola.
This ultimately implies that, the six sigma approach to quality control detects potential problems early to prevent their occurrence.
Under the six sigma approach, any process that doesn't provide customer satisfaction or causes challenges in an organisation's process should be eliminated from the system in order to produce quality products and services. It allows only 3.4 defective features for every million opportunities and as such expects processes to be defect free 99.99966 percent of the time.
Generally, there are two (2) main methods of achieving the six sigma approach;
1. DMAIC: define, measure, analyze, improve and control.
2. DMADV: define, measure, analyze, design and verify.

Gelb Company currently manufactures 49,000 units per year of a key component for its manufacturing process. Variable costs are $6.25 per unit, fixed costs related to making this component are $89,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $78,500 per year. The allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys this component. The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.50 per unit. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 49,000 units and buying 49,000 units. Should it continue to manufacture the component, or should it buy this component from the outside supplier
Answer:
If the company buys the component, income will increase by $223,750.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units= 49,000
Variable costs are $6.25 per unit
Fixed costs= $89,000 per year
The company is considering buying this component from a supplier for $3.50 per unit.
We will take into account only the differential costs.
Make:
Total cost= 49,000*6.25 + 89,000= $395,250
Buy:
Total cost= 49,000*3.5= $171,500
From the beginning, we knew that the cost of buying was cheaper than the unitary variable cost of making the part.
If the company buys the component, income will increase by $223,750.

Seymore named his wife, Penelope, the beneficiary of a $100,000 insurance policy on his life. The policy provided that, upon his death, the proceeds would be paid at a rate of $4,000 per year plus interest over a 25-year period. Seymore died June 25 of last year, and in the current year Penelope received a payment of $5,200 from the insurance company. What amount should she include in her gross income for the current year
Answer:
$1,200
Explanation:
The reason is that out of $5,200, $4,000 is the amount that Penelope receives as capital asset proceeds as this $4,000 reduces the insurance policy worth by $4,000. Hence it is insurance policy proceeds and is exempt from tax. The remainder $1,200 is interest earnings per year which must be included in the gross income for current year as it is taxable income.

Regardless of whether a business uses FIFO, LIFO, or weighted average cost for its inventory costing system, cost of goods available for sale must be allocated at the end of the period between these two categories. Multiple Choice beginning inventory and cost of goods sold. net purchases during the period and ending inventory. ending inventory and beginning inventory. ending inventory and cost of goods sold.
Answer:
Cost of goods available for sale must be allocated at the end of the period between ending inventory and cost of goods sold.
Explanation:
Cost of goods available for sale can be described as the maximum amount of inventory, stock, or goods that is possible for a firm to sell during an accounting period. It is the maximum amount because it is not possible for a firm to sell more than the cost of goods available for sale.
The cost of goods available for sale is obtained by adding beginning inventory and net purchases during an accounting period. This can be stated as follows:
COGAFS = BI + NP ............................... (1)
Where;
COGAFS = Cost of goods available for sale
BI = Beginning inventory
NP = Net purchases
At the end of an accounting period, ending inventory is deducted from the cost of goods available for sale to obtain cost of goods sold as follows:
COGS = COGAFS - EI ............................ (2)
Where;
COGS = Cost of goods sold
COGAFS = Cost of goods available for sale
EI = Ending inventory
Rearranging equation (2) and solve for COGAFS, we have:
COGFAS = COGS + EI ........................... (3)
Equation (3) therefore implies that the correct option is "cost of goods available for sale must be allocated at the end of the period between ending inventory and cost of goods sold".
