Answer:
$134,300
Explanation:
From the question above, we are required to total amount of indirect manufacturing costs that was incurred by Norred corporation with the information that was provided
The first step is to calculate the total variable manufacturing overhead costs
= Variable manufacturing overhead × Units produced
= $1.60 per unit × 8,000 units
= $12,800
Therefore, the total amount of indirect manufacturing costs can be calculated as follows
= Total variable manufacturing costs + Fixed manufacturing overhead
= $12,800 + $121,500
= $134,300
Hence the total amount of indirect manufacturing costs is closest to $134,300
Monochronic time is a Question 34 options: preference for multitasking. desire to do as little as possible for a period of time. time for the open discussion of problems or challenges. time when little is accomplished. preference for doing one thing at a time.
Answer:
Preference for doing one thing at a time.
Explanation:
Monochronic time has a simple direct explanation which means the preference of doing one thing at a time. This is directly seen in a managerial and business organisation system or bodies; as it affects working patterns and output of employees. In a world that is seen to be globalized, cultural attitudes and behaviours of people play a crucial role in business and role of output or success of a person. This is said to be so because of time perception tend to change peoples orientation and personal organisations towards meeting, work and some other social functions. The time a European appears to a meeting(on time or minutes before) is different from that of an African(minutes or hours behind schedule).
The comparative cash flow statements from Sears and Wal-Mart are presented above. Amounts presented are in millions. Review both statements considering what you've learned in this chapter about the cash flow statement. Answer the following questions: When analyzing a company's cash flow statement, which section of the statement (operating, investing or financing) do you believe is the best predictor of a company's future profitability? Why? Which company do you believe is healthier based on the cash flow statements presented? Provide at least two specific examples from the statements. Your initial post is due four (4) days prior to the discussion due date or points will be deducted from your discussion score. Please review the discussion board requirements above.
The complete question is attached.
Answer:
Sears Holding Corporation and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
1. The section of the cash flow statement that is the best predictor of a company's future profitability is the Operating Activities Section. The reason is that the operating activities section shows the net cash from operating activities or the core business activities of the entity. A business entity's profitability is not determined by subsidiary activities like financing and investing activities. But it is ascertained by reviewing its operating activities which also define the mission of the business and show the strategies it can deploy to attain its goals.
2. Walmart Stores, Inc. is by far healthier than Sears Holdings Corporation, at least based on the January 30, 2016 statements of cash flows. For instance, Walmart Stores recorded a Net Cash Flow from operations in the sum of $27,389 million while Sears recorded a negative Net Cash Flow from operations in the sum of $2,167 million. Again, from the operating activities sections, one can see that Walmart Stores, Inc. was able to make a net income before adjustments of $15,080 million, whereas Sears Holding Corporation performed abysmally poor by incurring a net loss of $1,128 million.
Explanation:
The Sears and Walmart's statements of cash flows are one of the three main financial statements prepared and presented by Sears Holding Corporation or Walmart Stores, Inc. to its stockholders and the general public to show financial information about its activities. Specifically, the statements of cash flows for Sears and Walmart show the flow of cash under three main activity headings: operating, financing, and investing.
Two methods can be used by Sears and Walmart to prepare the statement. They include the indirect method, which starts from the net income, and the direct method, which shows the cash inflows and outflows for each cash flow item for Sears and Walmart.

On January 1, 2018, Dunbar Echo Co. sells a machine for $23,600. The machine was originally purchased on January 1, 2016 for $41,200. The machine was estimated to have a useful life of 5 years and a residual value of $0. Dunbar Echo uses straight-line depreciation. In recording this transaction:
Answer:
The answer is
Dunbar Echo Co will report a loss of $1,120
Explanation:
Straight-line depreciation = (cost of asset - salvage/residual value) ÷ number of useful life
Cost of asset - $41,200
Salvage/residual value - $0
Number of useful life - 5 years
$41,200/5
= $8,240
January 1, 2016 through January 1, 2018 is two years. So accumulated depreciation = $16,480($8,240 x 2)
Carrying value of the asset as at January 1, 2018 is
$41,200 - $16,480
=$24,720.
On this date, the asset was sold for $23,600.
Therefore, Dunbar Echo Co made a loss of $1,120($23,600 - $24,720)

You have just taken a job at a bank in the loans department. Your bank is worried about the current economic climate and its potential to limit the real rate of interest the bank will earn on new loans. The head of the department asks you to determine the proper nominal rate of interest to ensure a 6% real rate of interest, and tells you that the current inflation rate is 4%. You suggest a nominal interest rate of_____% .
Answer:
10.24%
Explanation:
We can use fisher formula to calculate the real rate of return. The fisher equation is given as under:
(1 + i) = (1 + r) * (1 + h)
Here
Nominal Interest Rate is i
Real Interest Rate is r and is 6%
And Current Inflation Rate is 4%
By putting values, we have:
(1 + i) = (1 + 6%) * (1 + 4%)
(1 + i) = (1.06) * (1.04)
(1 + i) = 1.1024
i = 1.1024 - 1 = 10.24%
The nominal interest rate that I would suggest is 10.24%.
A loan is to be paid off in twenty annual installments of $100, with the first payment due one year after the loan is made. What is the total amount of principal paid in the even numbered installments, if the effective rate of interest is 4%?
Answer:
Total amount of principal paid = $ 1,359.03
Explanation:
This method of loan repayment is known as loan amortization
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The value of the loan can be worked as follows:
Loan amount = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- annual installment
r - annual interest rate
n- number of years,
Loan amount = ?
Loan amount = 100 × (1 - (1+0.04)^(-20) )/ 0.04
Loan amount = 1,359.032
Total amount of principal paid = $ 1,359.03

A $200,000 loan amortized over 12 years at an interest rate of 10% per year requires payments of $21,215.85 to completely remove the loan when interest is charged on the unrecovered balance of the principal. If interest is charged on the original principal instead of the unrecovered balance, what is the loan balance after 12 years provided the same $21,215.85 payments are made each year?
Answer:
loan balance after 12 years = $185409.8
Explanation:
Loan principal = $200000
interest = 10% of principal
amount paid yearly = $21215.85
For 1st year
principal for the first year = $200000
required interest to be paid = 10% of 200000 = $20000
amount paid = $21215.85
Loan Balance after first year = (principal for first year) - (amount paid - 10% of principal ) = $198,784.15
For 2nd year
principal for the 2nd year = Loan balance after first year = $198,784.15
loan balance after 2nd year = 198784.15 - ( 21215.85 - 10% of 198784.15)
= $197568.30
same applies for the different years until the 12th year
using this formula :
Loan Balance after Nth year = [ Loan balance after (n-1) year - ( amount paid - 10% of loan balance after (n-1) year ) ]
From an AIDA model perspective, ________ advertising seeks to gain awareness and initial interest and is used mostly in the early growth stages of a product.
Answer:
Pioneering advertising
Explanation:
In this question, the term that is being mentioned is known as Pioneering advertising. This type of advertising refers to the launch campaign of a new product category, instead of actually marketing for a single specific product in an existing marketplace. This is used in the early growth stages of a product when it initially launches in order to make customers aware of its arrival and explain what the product can offer.
Yarim corporation produces and sells 6500 units per month of a single product for a price of $170 per unit variable costs are $24 per unit and monthly fixed costs are $120 per unit.
Per Unit Percent of Sales
Selling price $180 100%
Variable expenses 54 30%
Contribution margin $126 70%
The company is currently selling 5,500 units per month. Fixed expenses are $383,300 per month. The marketing manager believes that a $6,500 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 140 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?
A. Decrease of $6,500.
B. Increase of $4,700.
C. Increase of $11,200.
D. Decrease of $4,700.
Answer:
Effect on income= $11,140 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Contribution margin $126
The marketing manager believes that a $6,500 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 140 unit increase in monthly sales.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= total contribution margin increase - fixed costs increase
Effect on income= 140*126 - 6,500
Effect on income= $11,140 increase
A $ 1 comma 000 bond with a coupon rate of 6.2% paid semiannually has two years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 6%. If interest rates fall and the yield to maturity decreases by 0.8%, what will happen to the price of the bond?
Answer:
As a result of a fall in interest and YTM, the bond price will increase by $15.04
Explanation:
To calculate the change in price due to fall in interest rate, we must first calculate the price of the bond before and after the fall of interest rates.
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 0.062 * 0.5 = $31
Total periods (n)= 2 * 2 = 4
r or YTM = 6% * 1/2 = 3% or 0.03
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Before Interest rates Fell
Bond Price = 31 * [( 1 - (1+0.03)^-4) / 0.03] + 1000 / (1+0.03)^4
Bond Price = $1003.717098 rounded off to $1003.72
After Interest Rates Fell
New YTM = 6% - 0.8% = 5.2% or 0.052
Semi Annual YTM = 0.052 * 0.5 = 0.026
Bond Price = 31 * [( 1 - (1+0.026)^-4) / 0.026] + 1000 / (1+0.026)^4
Bond Price = $1018.764647 rounded off to $1018.76
Change in Bond Price = 1018.76 - 1003.72 = $15.04
As a result of a fall in interest and YTM, the bond price increased by $15.04

Bloomfield Bakers accounts for its investment in Clor Confectionary under the equity method. Bloomfield carried the Clor investment at $150,650 and $165,300 at December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2021, respectively. During 2021 Clor recognized $75,600 of net income and paid dividends of $20,500. Assuming that Bloomfield owned the same percentage of Clor throughout 2021, its percentage ownership must have been: (Round your answer to the nearest whole percent):
Answer:
Suppose that in year 2021, Bloomfield had equal share of percentage of ownership in Clor as they had in previous year i.e 2020, it means that in 2021, the share of percentage that will be held by Bloomfield in Clor will be 26.59%
Explanation:
From the above, we will assume that Bloomfield stake in Clor using equity method and also investment in 2020 was $150,650 and $165,300 in 2021.
Inorder to calculate the percentage , we can make it Y hence we will add amount in 2020 with Y% of (Net income - Dividend declared) inorder to arrive at the total amount in 2021.
Solution.
$150,650 + Y% (75,600 - $20,500) = $165,300
$150,650 + $55,100Y = $165,300
$55,100Y = $165,300 - $150,650
$55,100Y = $14,650
Y% = $14,650/$55,100
Y% = 0.26588
Y = 0.26588 × 100
Y = 26.59
Risers Inc. reported total assets of $3,200,000 and net income of $255,000 for the current year. Risers determined that inventory was understated by $69,000 at the beginning of the year and $30,000 at the end of the year. What is the corrected amount for total assets and net income for the year
Answer:
Corrected total assets= $3,230,000
Corrected net income= $216,000
Explanation:
Riser incorporation reported a total assets $3,200,000 and a net income of $255,000 for the Current year
Risers inventory was understated by $69,000 at the beginning of the year and $30,000 at the end of the year
The corrected amount for the total assets can be calculated as follows
= $3,200,000+$30,000
= $3,230,000
The corrected amount for the net income can be calculated as follows
= $255,000-$69,000+$30,000
= $216,000
Hence the corrected amount for total assets and net income for the year is $3,230,000 and $216,000 respectively

A Quality Analyst wants to construct a control chart for determining whether three machines, all producing the same product, are under control with regard to a particular quality variable. Accordingly, he sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results:
Machine Measurements
Number1 17 15 15 17
Number2 16 25 18 25
Number3 23 24 23 22
What is the estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control?
a. 16
b. 19
c. 20
d. 21
e. 23
Answer:
c. 20
Explanation:
The summary of the given information shows that a Quality Analyst sampled four units of output from each machine, with the following results:
Machine Measurements
Number 1 17 15 15 17
Number 2 16 25 18 25
Number 3 23 24 23 22
In order to determine the estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control, we need to find the mean of each Machine and find the average of the three machines together
i.e
For Machine Number 1 ;
Mean = (17+15+15+17)/4
Mean = 64/4
Mean = 16
For Machine Number 2 ;
Mean = (16+25+18+25)/4
Mean = 84/4
Mean = 21
For Machine Number 3;
Mean = ( 23+24+23+22)/4
Mean = 92/4
Mean = 23
∴
The estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control
= (16 + 21 + 23)/3
The estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control = 60/3
The estimate of the process mean for whenever it is under control = 20

"The "circuit breaker" on the domestic equities markets to reduce price volatility is INITIATED when the Standard and Poor's 500 Index falls by:"
Answer:
7%
Explanation:
In Microeconomics, circuit breaker can be defined as a financial regulatory measure or instrument used by stock exchange organizations to temporarily halt trading on an exchange and to prevent stock market crash. The circuit breaker is also referred to as trading curb and it is used to curb panic selling in the stock markets, which eventually prevents collosal losses and speculative profits in a very short period of time.
The "circuit breaker" on the domestic equities markets to reduce price volatility is INITIATED when the Standard and Poor's 500 Index falls by 7%. The circuit breaker rule states that, if the Standard and Poor's 500 Index falls by 7% from the closing price of the previous day: the listed equity on the domestic equities markets will be shut down for 15 minutes, so as to mitigate price volatility. The 7% is the level one (1) of the circuit breaker levels for the the Standard and Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500 Index) on the stock markets.
Panner, Inc., owns 30 percent of Watkins and applies the equity method. During the current year, Panner buys inventory costing $126,000 and then sells it to Watkins for $180,000. At the end of the year, Watkins still holds only $26,400 of merchandise. What amount of gross profit must Panner defer in reporting this investment using the equity method
Answer:
The gross profit that will be deferred is $2376
Explanation:
The cost of inventory = $126000
Selling price of inventory (revenue) = $180000
The remaining inventory with Watkins = $26400
Gross profit percentage = (revenue – cost) / revenue
Gross profit percentage = (180000 – 126000) / 180000 = 0.3 or 30%
Remaining value = $26400 × 30% = 7920
Ownership = 7920 × 30% = $2376
The gross profit that will be deferred is $2376

While examining cash receipts information, the accounting department determined the following information: opening cash balance $180, cash on hand $1,350.89, and cash sales per register tape $1,186.34. Prepare the required journal entry based upon the cash count sheet.
Answer:
Cash $1,170.89
Cash Over/Short $15.45
To Sales Revenue $1,186.34
(Beingthe cash is recorded)
Explanation:
Before passing the journal entry first we have to determine the ending cash balance which is shown below:
Ending Cash Balance is
= Opening Cash Balance + Sales
= $180 + $1,186.34
= $1,366.34
Short cash is
= Ending cash balance - cash on hand
= $1,366.34 - $1,350.89
= $15.45
And, the actual cash is
= Cash on hand - opening cash balance
= $1,350.89 - $180
= $1,170.89
Now the journal entry is
Cash $1,170.89
Cash Over/Short $15.45

3. Individual Problems 20-3 Lightweight personal locator beacons are now available to hikers, making it easier for the Forest Service's rescue teams to locate those lost or in trouble in the wilderness. True or False: Forest Service costs will likely fall due to moral hazard. True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Moral Hazard refers to the tendency of people or entities to take on more risk if they know they will be saved from it.
With the Forest Service now making locator beacons available for hikers, the result will be that more hikers will be emboldened to hike further in the wilderness or into more dangerous areas knowing that should they get in trouble, the rescue teams will locate them faster. It will also mean that more hikers will start coming to the forest because they feel they can hike and be found easily if they get into trouble.
These 2 things will mean that the Forest Service will both have to conduct more rescue missions and maybe hire more personnel as a result of the increased number both of which will increase their costs not reduce them.
