Answer:
B. Explain clearly and completely.
C. Be fair.
D. Convey empathy and sensitivity.
Explanation:
The warranty for the device has already expired and it can be inferred that the water damage was from the customer because the warranty expired a while back. Since you cannot refund her, the best course of action is to explain to the customer in a clear, concise and complete tone, the problem with the phone. You should not place blame on the customer but rather be fair in your assessment. Your tone should also convey sensitivity and empathy because this is a problem that could happen to anyone and they need to know that.
Suppose a firm occasionally faces demand for short-term credit but usually has an excess of short-term capital to finance current assets. Which approach is the firm following? Conservative approach Maturity matching approach Aggressive approach Which usually costs less—short-term or long-term debt? Long-term debt Short-term debt
Answer: Conservative approach; Short term debt
Explanation:
Conservative approach is used by a company to maintain a level of current assets that is high which invariably leads to higher working capital. This is used by a firm that occasionally faces demand for short-term credit but usually has an excess of short-term capital to finance current assets.
Short term debts typically costs less than the long term debts as it's for a shorter duration.

g Hudson Co. If the company raises its selling price to $300 per unit. 1. Compute Hudson Co.'s contribution margin per unit. 2. Compute Hudson Co.'s contribution margin ratio. 3. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in units. 4. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in sales dollars.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
We weren't provided with enough information to solve the requirements. But, I will provide an example and formulas to guide an answer.
Example:
Selling price= $300
Unitary variable cost= $170
Fixed costs= 125,000
First, we need to calculate the contribution margin and contribution margin ratio:
Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Contribution margin= 300 - 170= 130
Contribution margin ratio= contribution margin/selling price
Contribution margin ratio= 130/300= 0.43
Now, we can determine the break-even point in units and dollars:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 125,000/130
Break-even point in units= 962
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 125,000/0.43
Break-even point (dollars)= $290,698
LSM subcontracted with Henry Isaacs Home Remodeling and Repair (Isaacs) to perform the roofing work on the project. Isaacs in turn subcontracted with Hal Brewster Home Improvements (Brewster), to conduct the roofing work on Isaacs' behalf. When Brewster performed work on the roof, he "botched the job" and caused extensive leaking inside the house. LSM and Issacs attempted to correct the problems, but eventually abandoned the project, leaving Logan-Baldwin to hire others to complete the renovations. Logan-Baldwin sued LSM, Isaacs, and Baldwin for breach of contract. Isaacs sought to dismiss Logan-Baldwin's claim against it, arguing no privity of contract existed between themselves and Logan-Baldwin, and therefore Isaacs should not be liable for any damages.
Required:
Does Logan-Baldwin have contract rights over Isaacs as an intended third-party beneficiary?
1. Because Henry Isaacs delegated its duty to repair the roof to Brewster, Henry Isaacs remains responsible for Brewster's failure to install the new roof on the residence properly.
a. True
b. False
2. Logan-Baldwin is entitled to compensatory damages (covering the cost of hiring other contractors to fix the roof) caused by the breach of contract by LSM and Henry Isaacs.
a. True
b. False
3. Logan-Baldwin qualified as a third party creditor beneficiary of the contract between LSM and Henry Isaacs and the contract between Henry Isaacs and Brewster, even if Logan-Baldwin is not named in those contracts.
a. True
b. False
4. Palisades Plaza is not entitled to damages for breach contract by LSM, Henry Isaacs, and Brewster unless Palisades Plaza has clean hands and has tendered performance under the contract.
a. True
b. False
5. If the agreement between Henry Isaacs and Brewster to install a new roof is a novation, Henry Isaacs is not liable for breach of contract for the failure to install the new roof properly.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
1. true
2. true
3. false
4. true
5. false
Choice Creations, Inc. sells hand sewn shirts at $ 44.00 per shirt. It incurs monthly fixed costs of $ 6 comma 000. The contribution margin ratio is calculated to be 30%. What is the variable cost per shirt? (Round any intermediate calculations and your final answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
$30.80
Explanation:
According to the situation, the solution is as follows:
The variable cost per shirt is
Since the selling price per shirt is $44
And, the contribution margin ratio is 30%
So, the variable cost margin ratio is 70%
Now the variable cost per shirt is
= Selling price per shirt × variable cost margin ratio
= $44 × 70%
= $30.80
Hence, the variable cost per shirt is $30.80
The may be pay life insurance co. is trying to sell you an investment policy that will pay you and your heirs $33000 per year forever. Suppose a sales associate told you the policy costs $478,000. At what interest rate would this be a fair deal?
Answer:
6.9%
Explanation:
The May be life insurance corporation is trying to sell an investment policy
This policy will pay $33,000 per year forever
A sales associate mention that the policy would cost $478,000
Therefore, the interest rate at which it will be a fair deal can be calculated as follows
Interest rate= Annual inflows/present value
= 33,000/478,000
= 0.0690×100
= 6.9%
Hence the interest rate at which it would be a fair deal is 6.9%
Computer equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $57,000 that has an estimated residual value of $9,000 and an estimated useful life of five years. Determine the second-year depreciation using the straight-line method.
Answer:
$9,600
Explanation:
When you use the straight line depreciation method, the depreciation expense is the same for every year. The only difference can result if the asset was purchased during the year, and the depreciation for year 1 would only be partial and proportionate to the number of months of use.
In this case, the depreciation expense per year = (purchase price - residual value) / useful life = ($57,000 - $9,000) / 5 = $48,000 / 5 = $9,600 per year (the depreciation expense is the same for all the five years).
Suppose a farmer is expecting that her crop of oranges will be ready for harvest and sale as 150,000150,000 pounds of orange juice in 33 months time. Suppose each orange juice futures contract is for 15,00015,000 pounds of orange juice, and the current futures price is F_0 = 118.65F 0 =118.65 cents-per-pound. Assuming that the farmer has enough cash liquidity to fund any margin calls, what is the risk-free price that she can guarantee herself.
Answer:
Explanation:
The risk-free rate is the interest that an investor will typically expect from an investment over a period of time.
From the question, the risk free price will be the current futures price which has been given as 118.65 cents per pound.
Therefore, since the farmer is ready for harvest and sale as 150,000 pounds of orange juice in 33 months time, he will have a price of:
= 150,000 × $118.65
= $17,797.5
Nichols Company owns 90% of the capital stock of a foreign subsidiary located in Ireland. As a result of translating the subsidiary's accounts, a debit of $160,000 was needed in the translation adjustments account so that the foreign subsidiary's debits and credits were equal in U.S. dollars. How should Nichols report its translation adjustments on its consolidated financial statements?
Answer:
Nichols should report the amount of $144,000 reduction in consolidated comprehensive net income
Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told that Company owns 90% of the capital stock of a foreign subsidiary ln which a Debit of the amount of $160,000 was needed in the translation adjustments account.
Based on the above the next step is to find the 90% of the amount of $160,000 which will give us the amount of $144,000, this means that Nichols should report its translation adjustments on its consolidated financial statements as a $144,000 reduction in consolidated comprehensive net income.
The Sisyphean Company has a bond outstanding with a face value of $ 1 comma 000$1,000 that reaches maturity in 1515 years. The bond certificate indicates that the stated coupon rate for this bond is 8.98.9% and that the coupon payments are to be made semiannually. Assuming the appropriate YTM on the Sisyphean bond is 7.67.6%, then the price that this bond trades for will be closest to:
Answer:
$1,108.51
Explanation:
For computing the price of the bond we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 7.67% ÷ 2 = 3.835%
NPER = 15 years × 2 = 30 years
PMT = $1,000 × 8.9% ÷ 2 = $44.5
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate,NPER,PMT,FV,type)
So, after applying the above formula, the price of the bond is $1,108.51
Consider the following limit-order book for a share of stock. The last trade in the stock occurred at a price of $50. Limit Buy Orders Limit Sell Orders Price Shares Price Shares $ 49.75 500 $ 50.25 100 49.50 800 51.50 100 49.25 500 54.75 300 49.00 200 58.25 100 48.50 600 a. If a market buy order for 100 shares comes in, at what price will it be filled?
Answer:
$50.25
Explanation:
The below data given in the question will help to determine the price will it be filled, if the market buy order for 100 shares comes in
Limit Buy Orders Limit Sell Orders
Price Shares Price Shares
$ 49.75 500 $ 50.25 100
49.50 800 51.50 100
49.25 500 54.75 300
49.00 200 58.25 100
48.50 600
Therefore in a situation where a market buy order for 100 shares comes in, it will be filled at the amount of $50.25 which will be the best price reason been that the amount of $50.25 is the lowest amount for the limit sell order when compared with other price listed under the limits sell order.
To maximize profit when a constrained resource exists, management should produce the sales mix that has the highest contribution margin per unit of scarce resource. true or false
Answer: True
Explanation:
To maximize profit when a constrained resource exists, management should produce the sales mix which has the highest contribution margin per unit of scarce resource.
For example, if the contribution per unit of product A and product B are 15 and 20, with labor hour required for product A 1 hour and that of product B 2 hours and the contribution margin for product you for product A is $15 and for product B is $10.
Then, product A has higher contribution margin despite using less labor hour.
Peter has opened a retirement investment account and plan to contribute $6,000 at the end of each year to his account for 30 years. He wants to retire when he has $1 million in the account. What expected annual rate of return must earn to have $1 million in his account?
Answer:
1.92
Explanation:
Using the compound interest formula
A= P [ (1-i)^n-1 (where A= 1,000,000, P= 6000, i= ?, n= 30)
1000000 = 6000 [ (1 - i)^30-1
1000000 = 6000 [ (1 - i)^29
1000000 = (6000 - 6000i)^29
1000000/6000 = (6000/6000 -6000i/6000)^29
= 166.66 = i^29
= 29✓166.66 = ✓i^29
= 1.92 = i

The owner of a small business borrowed $70,000 with an agreement to repay the loan with quarterly payments over a five year time period. If the interest rate is 12% per year compounded quarterly, his loan payment each quarter is nearest to
Answer:
His loan payment each quarter is nearest to $4,705.10.
Explanation:
Using a Financial Calculator enter the following data and find PMT, the loan payment each quarter
Pv = $70,000
n = 4 × 5 = 20
r = 12%
P/yr = 4
Fv = $0
Pmt = ? - $4,705.10
Thus PMT, the loan payment each quarter will be $4,705.10.
Bellucci Corporation has provided the following information: Cost per Unit Cost per Period Direct materials $ 7.40 Direct labor $ 3.65 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.45 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 117,900 Sales commissions $ 1.20 Variable administrative expense $ 0.75 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 44,100 The incremental manufacturing cost that the company will incur if it increases production from 9,000 to 9,001 units is closest to (assume that the increase is within the relevant range):
Answer:
When one more unit is produced, the manufacturing cost increases by $12.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $ 7.40
Direct labor $ 3.65
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.45
The manufacturing cost is the sum of direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Because we need to calculate the incremental cost, we will not take into account the fixed overhead.
Variable manufacturing cost per unit= 7.4 + 3.65 + 1.45= $12.5
When one more unit is produced, the manufacturing cost increases by $12.5
Soft selling occurs when a buyer is skeptical of the usefulness of a product and the seller offers to set a price that depends on realized value. For example, suppose a sales representative is trying to sell a company a new accounting system that will, with certainty, reduce costs by 10%. However, the customer has heard this claim before and believes there is only a 20% chance of actually realizing that cost reduction and a 80% chance of realizing no cost reduction. Assume the customer has an initial total cost of $600. According to the customer's beliefs, the expected value of the accounting system, or the expected reduction in cost, is $ . Suppose the sales representative initially offers the accounting system to the customer for a price of $36.00. The information asymmetry stems from the fact that the has less information about the efficacy of the accounting system than does the . At this price, the customer purchase the accounting system, since the expected value of the accounting system is than the price. Instead of naming a price, suppose the sales representative offers to give the customer the product in exchange for 50% of the cost savings. If there is no reduction in cost for the customer, then the customer does not have to pay. True or False: This pricing scheme alleviates some of the information asymmetry that is present in this scenario. True False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Adverse Selection is a situation where seller have better information than the buyer. The information can relate to anything about the product. The information can be related to product features, quality, price, availability, warranty and so on. Adverse situation occurs when asymmetric information is exploited. Here in this scenario the customer is also aware of the value of the product. There is no asymmetry information.
eco 203 In the __________ view, there are ample loanable funds available at the current interest rate. When G increases, no crowding out occurs, interest rates do not rise, and aggregate expenditures rise by the full amount of G.
Answer:
The answer is "In the classical view, there are ample loanable funds available at the current interest rate. When G increases, no crowding out occurs, interest rates do not rise, and aggregate expenditures rise by the full amount of G."
Explanation:
In the classical view, the capital market will find the balance between the demanded investment quality and the supplied savings one itself. However, in the Keynesian view, for example during a recession, government spending (G) will increase and there will be a competition to acquire available capital supply, that leads to the crowding out occurs and the general interest rate increases.
What is the current yield for a Bond with a $1,000 par value bond, a 3% annual coupon rate that matures in 5 years, if the opportunity cost is 7%
Answer:
$836
Explanation:
market interest rate = 7%
in order to determine the current price of the bond we must add the present value of face value + coupon payments:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)⁵ = $712.99
PV of coupon payments = $30 x 4.1002 (PV annuity factor, 7%, 5 periods) = $123.01
current market price = $712.99 + $123.01 = $836

Crystal Apple Sales Company began 2014 with cash of $2,000, inventory of $3,600 (200 crystal apples that cost $18 each), $2,500 of common stock, and $3,100 of retained earnings. The following events occurred during 2014.
1. Crystal Apple purchased additional inventory twice during 2018. The first purchase consisted of 800 apples that cost $20 each, and the second consisted of 1,200 apples that cost $24 each. The purchases were on account.
2. The company sold 2,040 apples for cash at a selling price of $40 each.
3. The company paid $44,800 cash on accounts payable for inventory purchases.
4. Crystal Apple paid $26,000 cash for operating expenses.
5. Assume an income tax rate of 30 percent. Crystal Apple paid income tax expense in cash.
Required:
a. Determine the ending inventory and cost of goods sold using the three different cost flow assumptions: FIFO, LIFO, and Weighted Average.
b. Prepare an income statement, a balance sheet, and a statement of cash flows under each of the three cost flow assumptions.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of ending inventory and cost of goods sold using the three different cost flow assumptions: FIFO, LIFO, and Weighted Average is shown below:-
Cost of goods sold = (200 × $18) + (800 × $20) + (1,040 × (2,040-200-800)
= (200 × $18) + (800 × $20) + (1,040 × $24)
= $3,600 + $16,000 + $24,960
= $44,560
Ending Inventory Under FIFO = (1,200 - 1,040) × (2,040-200-800)
= 160 × $24
= $3,840
Under LIFO method
Cost of goods sold is
= (1,200 × $24) + (800 × $20) + (40 × $18)
= $28,800 + $16,000 + $720
= $45,520
Ending Inventory Under LIFO is
= (200 - 40) × $18
= 160 × $18
= $2,880
Weighted Average cost flow Assumption
Weighted Average cost per apple = Cost of Beginning inventory and purchase ÷ Total apple available
Cost of Beginning inventory and purchases is
= (200 × $18) + (800 × $20) + (1,200 × $24)
= $3,600 + $16,000 + $28,800
= $48,400
Total apples available is
= 200 + 800 + 1,200
= 2,200
Weighted Average cost per apple is
= $48,400 ÷ 2,200
= $22
Cost of goods sold is
= 2,040 × $22
= $44,880
Ending Inventory is
= 160 × $22
= $3,520

Dave Krug finances a new automobile by paying $6,500 cash and agreeing to make 20 monthly payments of $580 each, the first payment to be made one month after the purchase. The loan bears interest at an annual rate of 12%. What is the cost of the automobile? (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round PVA factor to 4 decimal places.)
Answer:
$16,966.68
Explanation:
the cost of the car = down payment + present value of the monthly installment payments
down payment = $6,500PV of monthly installment payments = $580 x 18.046 (PV annuity factor, 1%, 20 periods) = $10,466.68the cost of the car = $6,500 + $10,466.68 = $16,966.68

Trez Company began operations this year. During this first year, the company produced 100,000 units and sold 80,000 units. The absorption costing income statement for this year follows.
Sales 80,000 units x 45 per unit $3,600,000
Cost of goods sold
- Beginning inventory $__________0
- Cost of goods manufactured (100,000 units x $25 per unit) $2,500,000
- Cost of good available for sale $2,500,000
Ending inventory (20,000 x 25) $500,000
Cost of goods sold $2,000,000
Gross margin $1,600,000

a. Selling and administrative expenses consist of $400,000 in annual fixed expenses and $2.25 per unit in variable selling and administrative expenses.
b. The company's product cost of $25 per unit is computed as follows:
Direct materials $4 per unit
Direct labor $11 per unit
Variable overhead $4 per unit
Fixed overhead ($600,000/ $100,000 units) $6 per unit
Required:
Prepare an income statement for the company under variable costing.
Answer:
Income statement for the company under variable costing
Sales (80,000 units x $45) $3,600,000
Less Cost of Sales
Beginning inventory $0
Cost of goods manufactured (100,000 units x $19) $1,900,000
Cost of good available for sale $1,900,000
Less Ending inventory (20,000 x $19) ($380,000) ($1,520,000)
Contribution $2,080,000
Less Period Costs
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead ($600,000)
Selling and administrative expenses - Fixed ($400,000)
Selling and administrative expenses - Variable ($180,000)
Net Income / (loss) $900,000
Explanation:
Under Variable Costing.
1.Product cost = Variable Manufacturing Costs Only
Therefore, Product cost = $4 + $11 + $ 4
= $19
2.Period Cost = Fixed Manufacturing Overheads + Non - Manufacturing Costs
On September 1, 2021, Middleton Corp. lends cash and accepts a $1,700 note receivable that offers 7% interest and is due in six months. How much interest revenue will Middleton Corp. report during 2021
Answer:
The interest revenue in 2021 is $39.44.
Explanation:
The amount of lending cash and accepting = $1700
Interest rate = 7% per annum
Therefore the interest rate per month = 7% / 12 = 0.58%
Now find the interest revenue by multiplying 1700 with per month interest rate and the number of months. Since the lending and accepting date is 1st September. So only 4 months remain in 2021.
The interest revenue in 2021 = 1700 × 0.58 ×4 = $39.44
A perfectly competitive industry is initially in a short-run equilibrium in which all firms are earning zero economic profits but in which firms are operating below their minimum efficient scale. All of the following statements are true as the industry and the firms make their long-run adjustments except that:____________.
A. individual firms expand their output level to their minimum efficient scale.
B. new firms enter the market, causing the industry output to expand.
C. firms begin to make adjustments along their long-run average cost curves.
D some firms leave the industry and the existing firms slowly adjust their production to reach their minimum efficient scale.
Answer:
D some firms leave the industry and the existing firms slowly adjust their production to reach their minimum efficient scale.
Explanation:
In a perfectly competitive industry at starting there is a short-run equilibrium in which all the firm is earning zero economic profit but these firm operated below the minimum efficient scale or we can say minimum requirement i.e lowering the average cost for the long run
By going through the options the option is correct as few firms leave the industry and other existing firms try to adjust the production in a slowly way so that they could reach their minimum efficient scale
Hence, the option d is correct
Goodwin Technologies has been wildly successful but has yet to pay a dividend.
An analyst forecasts that Goodwin is likely to pay its first dividend three years from now.
She expects Goodwin to pay a $2.2500 dividend at that time and believes that the dividend will grow by 11.70% for the following two years. However, after the fifth year, she expects Goodwin's dividend to grow at a constant rate of 3.60% per year. Good win's required return is 12.00%.
To determine Goodwin's horizon value at the horizon date-when constant growth begins-and the current intrinsic value. To increase the accuracy of your calculations, carry the dividend value to four decimal places.
Horizon value:
Current Intrinsic value:
Assuming that the markets are in equilibrium, Goodwin's current expected dividend yield is _, and Goodwin's capital gains yield is _.
Goodwin has been very successful, but it hasn't paid a dividend yet. It circulates a report to its key investors containing the following statement:
Goodwin's investment opportunities are poor. Is this statement a possible explanation for why the firm hasn't paid a dividend yet?
No or yes
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Year Cash flow PVF at 12% PV at 12%
D0 0 0 1 0
D1 0 0 0.89286 0
D2 0 0 0.79719 0
D3 2.25 2.25 0.71178 1.601505 (A)
D4 2.25 × 1.117^1 = 2.51325 0.63552 1.597221 (B)
D5 2.25 × 1.117^2 = 2.80730 0.56743 1.592946 (C)
Now
Horizon Value at D5 is
= Next Year Dividend ÷ (Required Rate -Growth rate)
= (2.25 × 1.117^2 × 1.036) ÷ (0.12 - 0.036)
34.6234 34.6234 0.56743 19.64634 (D)
Current Value 24.43801 (A + B + C + D)
Horizon Value = 34.62
Intrinsic Value = 24.43
Now
Current expected dividend yield is
= Dividend ÷ Market Price
= 0 ÷ 24 ÷ 43
= 0 %
And, the minimum expected capital yield should be equivalent to the required rate of return i.e 12%
The company should not paying the dividend because it involves various reasons lime expansion plans, seasonal & cyclical sales, buy back shares
