Given the data:
x___ f(x)
10__ 0.05
20__0.10
30__0.10
40__0.20
50__0.35
60__0.20
a. Is this probability distribution valid?
Yes
Σf(x) = (0.05 + 0.10 + 0.10 + 0.20 + 0.35 + 0.20) = 1
0≤f(x)≤1
b. What is the probability MCC will obtain more than 30 new clients
X = 40 + x = 50 + x = 60
0.20 + 0.35 + 0.20 = 0.75
c. What is the probability MCC will obtain fewer than 20 new clients
x = 10
f(x) = f(10) = 0.05
d)Compute the expected value and variance of x.
Expected value (E(x)) :
Σ(x * f(x))
= (10*0.05) + (20*0.1) + (30*0.1) + (40*0.2) + (50*0.35) + (60*0.2)
= 43
Σ(x * E(x))² * f(x)
= (10 - 43)^2 * 0.05 + (20 - 43)^2 * 0.1 + (30 - 43)^2 * 0.1 + (40 - 43)^2 * 0.2+ (50 - 43)^2 * 0.35 + (60 - 43)^2 * 0.2
= 201
Gerald started a business using the savings from his previous job. He planned to run his business on the revenue generated from sales. However, a few months later, he found it difficult to pay his staff, rent, and other expenses. Seasonal sales and inability to secure sufficient credit from local banks made it difficult for Gerald to operate the business normally. Which of the following causes of small-business failure does this scenario best?
a. Debt factoring
b. Debt financing
c. Trade credit
d. Economies of scale
Answer: Undercapitalization
Explanation:
The cause of small-business failure that is described here is undercapitalization.
Undercapitalization is a term that is used to describe a situation whereby an organization or company has insufficient funding which are required for operational activities. Lack of enough capital by a company can hinder the growth of such company.
This can be seen in the question as we are told that this lead to the difficulty for Gerald to operate the business normally.
Seth repays a 30-year loan with a payment at the end of each year. Each of the first 20 payments is 1200, and each of the last 10 payments is 900. Interest on the loan is at an annual effective rate of ii, i>0i>0. The interest portion of the 11th payment is twice the interest portion of the 21st payment. Calculate the interest portion of the 21st payment.
Answer:
The interest portion of the 21st payment = 300
Explanation:
Interest component of 11th payment = Interest on the remaining loan at the end pf 10thperiod
Int(11) = 900(1 - v^20) + 300 (1 - v^10)
Int(11) = 1200 - 300v^10 - 900v^20
Interest compound of 21st payment = Interest on the remaining loan at the end of 20th period
Int(21) = 900 ( 1 - v^10)
Hence, Int(11) = 2 (Int(21)
1200 - 300v^10 - 900v^20 = 2 [900 ( 1 - v^10)]
1200 - 300v^10 - 900v^20 - 1800 + 1800v^10 = 0
-600 + 1500v^10 - 900v^20 = 0
9v20 - 15v^10 + 6 = 0
By solving above quadratic equation, we get
V^10 = 2/3
Int(21) = 900 ( 1 - V^10)
Int(21) = 900 ( 1 - 2/3)
Int(21) = 900 (1/3)
Int(21) = 300

Compute net operating profit after tax for the year ended January 31, 2016. Assume a statutory tax rate of 37%.
Round answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
$7,826
Explanation:
The computation of net operating profit after tax is shown below:-
Net operating profit after tax = Net operating profit before tax - Tax expense on operating profit
= $12,124 - ($4,001 + $803 × 37%)
= $12,124 - $4,298
= $7,826
Therefore for computing the net operating profit after tax we simply applied the above formula.

---to record earned revenue according to
percentage of completion method---
Explanation:
2021:
incurred 2,490,000
total cost estimated:
2,490,000 + 5,810,000 = 8,300,000
percentage: 2,490,000 / 8,300,000 = 30%
revenue 10,000,000 x 30% = 3,000,000
cost 2,490,000
gross profit 510,000
2022:
incurred 3,984,000
total cost: 2,490,000 + 3,984,000 + 1,826,000 = 8,300,000
percentage: 3,984,000 / 8,300,000 = 48%
revenue 10,000,000 x 48% = 4,800,000
cost 3,984,000
gross profit 816,000
2023:
completed:
remaining revenue: 100% - 48% - 30% = 22%
10,000,000 x 22% = 2,200,000
cost incurred 1,826,000
gross profit 374,000
You have been asked to review the December 31, 2021, balance sheet for Champion Cleaning. After completing your review, you list the following three items for discussion with your superior: An investment of $48,000 is included in current assets. Management has indicated that it has no intention of liquidating the investment in 2022. A $280,000 note payable is listed as a long-term liability, but you have determined that the note is due in 10, equal annual installments with the first installment due on March 31, 2022. Deferred revenue of $114,000 is included as a current liability even though only two-thirds will be recognized as revenue in 2022, and the other one-third in 2023.
Determine the appropriate classification of each of these items. (If no entry is required for classification, choose "No entry":)
Current Long-term
Items Amount Classification Amount Classification
1. Investment
2. Installment note
3. Deferred revenue
Answer:
1. Investment

Costs associated with the manufacture of miniature high-sensitivity piezoresistive pressure transducers is, $73,000 per year. A clever industrial engineer found that by spending $16,000 now to reconfigure the production line and reprogram two of the robotic arms, the cost will go down to $58,000 next year and $52,000 in years 2 through 5. Using an interest rate of 10% per year, determine the present worth of the savings due to the reconfiguration. (Hint: Include the reconfiguration cost.)
Answer:
$58,149
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the present worth of the savings
First step is to calculate for Present worth before
Present worth before= 73,000(P/A,10%,5)
Present worth before= 73,000(3.7908)
Present worth before= $276,728
Second step is to calculate for Present worth after
Present worth after= 16,000 + 58,000(P/F,10%,1) + 52,000(P/A,10%,4)(P/F,10%,1)
Present worth after= 16,000 + 58,000(0.9091) + 52,000(3.1699)(0.9091)
Present worth after=16,000+52,728+149,851
Present worth after= $218,579
Last step is to calculate for Present worth of savings using this formula
Present worth of savings=Present worth before-Present worth after
Let plug in the formula
Present worth of savings = 276,728–218,579
Present worth of savings= $58,149
Therefore the present worth of the savings will be $58,149

Louise Mazzone, Production Manager for Stick to Your Knitting Inc., has just signed a contract to supply 1,000 hats and 2,000 scarves to the local Christmas market for $15,000. Each hat requires 50 meters of yarn and each scarf requires 100 meters. She has 50,000 meters of yarn available and an Acme knitting machine which can knit a hat in 8 minutes and a scarf in 10 minutes. 160 machine hours (9,600 minutes) are available. It costs $2 to make a hat and $1.50 to make a scarf. Louise also has the option to subcontract production at a cost of $3 per hat and $2 per scarf.
Here is the formulation of the problem.
Let MH be the number of hats made.
Let MS be the number of scarves made.
Let BH be the number of hats bought.
Let BS be the number of scarves bought.
Minimize Cost: 2MH+1.5MS+3BM+2BS
subject to
50MH+100MS ≤ 50,000 (Available Yarn)
8MH+10MS ≤ 9,600 (Machine Time)
MH+BH ≥1,000 (Hats Needed)
MS+BS ≥ 2,000 (Scarves Needed)
MH,MS,BH, BS ≥ 0 (Non-negativity)
Required:
Use Solver on this LP problem to determine the minimum cost of completing the contract.
Answer:
the optimal solution was to manufacture 1,000 hats and subcontract the production of 2,000 scarves.
total cost = (1,000 x $2) + (2,000 x $2) = $2,000 + $4,000 = $6,000
Explanation:
MH be the number of hats made.
Let MS be the number of scarves made.
Let BH be the number of hats bought.
Let BS be the number of scarves bought.
Minimize Cost: 2MH + 1.5MS + 3BH +2BS
subject to
50MH+100MS ≤ 50,000 (Available Yarn) 8MH+10MS ≤ 9,600 (Machine Time) MH+BH ≥1,000 (Hats Needed) MS+BS ≥ 2,000 (Scarves Needed) MH,MS,BH, BS ≥ 0 (Non-negativity)We are given all the constraints and the cost minimizing equation, therefore, all we need to do is plug the numbers into solver (excel function);
the optimal solution was to manufacture 1,000 hats and subcontract the production of 2,000 scarves.
total cost = (1,000 x $2) + (2,000 x $2) = $2,000 + $4,000 = $6,000

You work in the Ethics Department for ABC Company (ABC). Your department is dedicated to advising its employees about their ethical obligations in the corporate setting. You are an internal consultant who provides advice and most importantly, recommendations for action to employees of the firm. All communications you receive in this capacity are confidential. Luke, an employee of ABC, comes to you with the following scenario and asks for your advice.
He wants to fully consider the situation. Your task is to advise and recommend a course of action based on the specified ethical lenses and facts as given. Below are the facts that Luke provides to you.
Luke has been asked to work on a project that involves developing land recently purchased by ABC to build an adult entertainment retail store. According to the plan, the land is located on the corner of the neighborhood where Owen, Luke’s brother, lives. Luke knows that as soon as the plans for the store are made public, property values for the surrounding neighborhood will decrease significantly. ABC plans to publicly announce the project one month from today. Luke is concerned about his obligations of confidentiality to his company. However, Luke is also very close to Owen, who recently told Luke that he received an offer to sell his house at an "okay" price given the current real estate market. Owen is considering selling but hasn’t made any final decision yet. He wonders if he might get a better offer a few years from now when the real estate market improves.
Required:
What is the ethical issue, why is this an issue, and what should Luke do about it?
Answer:
The ethical issue here is that you work for a company that is about to open a store that will make the price of your brother's house to plummet. Your brother has the option to sell his house right now, but if you tell him to accept the offer, you will be breaching your employment duties.
Is your duty towards your brother more or less important than the duty towards the company.
We can analyze both possible outcomes:
You do not tell your brother and he does not sell his house. After the store is announced, your brother's house will decrease in value. That means that your brother will lose a lot of money, but you complied with the obligation of confidentiality that you have with your company. The downside is that once your brother knows about it, he will hate you for ht rest of his life. And the hatred will probably not be limited to only him, most if not all of your family will be very unpleased and terribly mad at you. On the other hand, you decide that you value your brother and whole family, and you decide to tell him to accept the offer. You will have breached your confidentiality obligation towards the company, but you will have literally saved your brother's financial situation, and you will have saved any type of relationship that you have with your family. Wil the company be hurt by your decision? No, it will not make any difference to them. They are announcing the decision in just a few days, so anything that you tell your brother will not make any difference. Since your brother will try to sell his house, he will keep to information to himself, since telling other people will only ruin any possible sale.Personally, I would first try to convince my brother to sell his house because the offer is good and its the appropriate time to do it. If he gets stubborn and refuses, then I would tell him about the new store. If we have a good relationship, it is possible that I will not need to him about the store at all. Probably if i try hard enough I will be able to convince him to sell without disclosing any confidential information.
A yield curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between the yields and the maturities of securities issued by a given borrower in a given currency on a given date. The mathematical relationship between these two variables, the yield and the maturity, is called the term structure of interest rates, and the graphical relationship (plotted curve) is called the yield curve.
A yield curve can exhibit a variety of shapes, and the general shapes have been given a specific name. Identify the name of the yield curve that matches the pattern described as follows:
Description of the Yield Curve Name Given to Describe the Yield Curve
1. Short-term rates are relatively low, intermediate-term rates are much higher, and long-term rates are much lower.
2. Long-term rates are greater than short-term rates.
3. The yield curve exhibits a downward-sloping curve.
4. Normal yield curve Long-term rates are equal to short-term rates.
Answer:
1. Short-term rates are relatively low, intermediate-term rates are much higher, and long-term rates are much lower. - humped yield curve
2. Long-term rates are greater than short-term rates. - normal yield curve
3. The yield curve exhibits a downward-sloping curve - an inverted yield curve
4. Long-term rates are equal to short-term rates - flat yield curve
Explanation:
If long term interest rates are greater than short-term rates, this is an upward sloping demand curve, it is a normal yield curve
If the yield curve exhibits a downward-sloping curve, the short term rates are higher than the long term rates
If the long-term rates are equal to short-term rates, interest rate remains the same in the short and long term, the yield curve is flat

The production planner for Fine Coffees, Inc. produces two coffee blends: American (A) and British (B). Two of his resources are constrained:
Columbia beans, of which he can get at most 300 pounds (4,800 ounces) per week; and Dominican beans, of which he can get at most 200 pounds (3,200 ounces) per week.
Each pound of American blend coffee requires 12 ounces of Colombian beans and 4 ounces of Dominican beans, while a pound of British blend coffee uses 8 ounces of each type of bean.
Profits for the American blend are $2.00 per pound, and profits for the British blend are $1.00 per pound.
What is the objective function?
A. $1 A + $2 B = Z
B. $12 A + $8 B = Z
C. $2 A + $1 B = Z
D. $8 A + $12 B = Z
E. $4 A + $8 B = Z
Answer:
C. $2 A + $1 B = Z
Explanation:
Profits for American Blend: 2$ per pound
Profits for British Blend: 1$ per pound
If A is the quantity of American Blend in pounds and B is the quantity of British Blend in pounds, the Total Profit Z = 2A + 1B (This has to be maximized)

US-Mobile manufactures and sells two products, tablet computers and smartphones, in the ratio of 5:3. Fixed costs are $100,860, and the contribution margin per composite unit is $123. What number of each type of product is sold at the break-even point
Answer:
Tablets= 512
Smartphones= 308
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs are $100,860, and the contribution margin per composite unit is $123.
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units for the whole company:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 100,860 / 123
Break-even point in units= 820
Now, for each product line:
Tablets= 5/8= 0.625
Smartphones= 3/8= 0.375
Units:
Tablets=0.625*820= 512
Smartphones= 0.375*820= 308

Company's inventory records for its retail division show the following at 31:
Beginning inventory Jan.1 90 units at $8 per unit
Jan.10 purchase 320 units at $11 per unit
Jan. 22 purchase 130 units at $12 per unit
At January 31, 190 units are still on hand. What is the cost of the ending inventory at January 31 if company uses the FIFO method?
a. $1,820
b. $2,220
c. $1,520
d. $1,440
Answer:
b. $2,220
Explanation:
Calculation for cost of the ending inventory
Ending inventory cost = (130*12) + (190-130)*11
Ending inventory cost =1,560+(60*11)
Ending inventory cost =1,560+660
Ending inventory cost = $2,220
Therefore cost of the ending inventory will be $2,220
Nishi Corporation prepares financial statements for each month-end. As part of its accounting process, estimated income taxes are accrued each month for 29% of the current month’s net income. The income taxes are paid in the first month of each quarter for the amount accrued for the prior quarter. The following information is available for the fourth quarter of the year just ended. When tax computations are completed on January 20 of the following year, Nishi determines that the quarter’s Income Taxes Payable account balance should be $33,926 on December 31 of the year just ended (its unadjusted balance is $29,826).

The journal entry was incorrect, supplies account should have been debited, not supplies expense account.
Supplies expense for the year = beginning balance + purchases - ending balance of supplies account = $0 + $2,700 - $1,200 = $1,500
the adjusting journal entry should be:

Consider the effects of inflation in an economy composed of only two people: Hubert, a bean farmer, and Kate, a rice farmer. Hubert and Kate both always consume equal amounts of rice and beans. In 2016 the price of beans was $1, and the price of rice was $4. Suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $8. Inflation was % . Indicate whether Hubert and Kate were better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices. Better Off Worse Off Unaffected Hubert Kate Now suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $4.80. In this case, inflation was % . Indicate whether Hubert and Kate were better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices. Better Off Worse Off Unaffected Hubert Kate Now suppose that in 2017, the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $1.60. In this case, inflation was % . Indicate whether Hubert and Kate were better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices.
Better Off Worse Off Unaffected
Hubert
Kate
What matters more to Hubert and Kate?
The overall inflation rate
The relative price of rice and beans
Answer:
a.
Inflation will be the percentage by which prices have risen in the economy.
It can be calculated by using a market basket that would comprise the two goods. In 2016 therefore, the price of this basket is $5 = 1 + 4. In 2017 the price would have increased to $10.
Inflation = (10 - 5) / 5 = 100%
Both Hubert and Kate would be unaffected by the changes in prices because the prices doubled for both of them.
b. Now suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $4.80.
Market basket in 2017 = 2 + 4.8 = $6.80
Inflation = (6.8 - 5) / 5 = 36%
Hubert will be better off because the price of beans increased by 100% which is more than the inflation rate of 36%.
Kate's price increase = (4.8 - 4)/4 = 20%. Yet inflation is 36%. Kate will therefore be worse off as inflation is higher than the increase in what she sells.
c. Now suppose that in 2017, the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $1.60.
Market Basket in 2017 = 2 + 1.6 = $3.60
Inflation = (3.6 - 5)/5 = -28%
Hubert will be better off because his prices have risen while general inflation has fallen.
Kate's price decrease = ( 1.6 - 4)/4 = -60%. Inflation was -28%. Kate will therefore be worse off because inflation decreased less than her prices did.
d. The relative price of rice and beans matter more to them because if the goods rise in prices significantly enough, they would be better off even if there was inflation.

Explanation:
Garison Music Emporium carries a wide variety of musical instruments, sound reproduction equipment, recorded music, and sheet music. Garison uses two sales promotion techniques— warranties and premiums— to attract customers.
Musical instruments and sound equipment are sold with a one- year warranty for replacement of parts and labor. The estimated warranty cost, based on past experience, is 2% of sales.
The premium is offered on the recorded and sheet music. Customers receive a coupon for each dollar spent on recorded music or sheet music. Customers may exchange 200 coupons and $ 20 for a CD player. Garison pays $ 32 for each CD player and estimates that 60% of the coupons given to customers will be re-deemed.
Garison’s total sales for 2020 were $7,200,000—$5,700,000 from musical instruments and sound reproduction equipment and $1,500,000 from recorded music and sheet music. Replacement parts and labor for warranty work totaled $94,000 during 2020 ($44,000 of the work is related to pre-2020 sales). A total of 6,500 players used in the premium program were purchased during the year and there were 1,200,000 coupons re-deemed in 2020.
The accrual method is used by Garison to account for the warranty and premium costs for financial reporting purposes.
