Answer:
$80,704
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Budgeted Price = $20,176 per pool
Budgeted quantity = 12 pools
Actual quantity = 16 pools
Actual price = $20,992 per pool
Now,
Sales Volume Variance
= ( Actual Quantity - Budgeted Quantity) × Budgeted price
Thus,
Sales Volume Variance for April = ( 16 - 12 ) × $20,176
or
Sales Volume Variance for April = $80,704
Final answer:
The Sales Volume Variance for April is $80,704.
Explanation:
To calculate the Sales Volume Variance, you need to compare the budgeted sales volume with the actual sales volume.
The formula for Sales Volume Variance is (Actual Quantity - Budgeted Quantity) x Budgeted Price.
In this case, the budgeted quantity is 12 pools and the actual quantity is 16 pools, while the budgeted price is $20,176 per pool.
Therefore, the Sales Volume Variance for April is -
= (16 - 12) x $20,176
= $80,704.

Harrison's Supply Co. suffered a fire loss on April 20, 2013. The company's last physical inventory was taken January 30, 2013, at which time the inventory totaled $220,000. Sales from January 30 to April 20 were $600,000 and purchases during that time were $450,000. Harrison's consistently reports a 30% gross profit. The estimated inventory loss is:a. $490,000. b. $238,000. c. $250,000. d. None of these
Answer:
c. $250,000
Explanation:
The computation of the estimated inventory loss is shown below:
= Total amount of inventory + purchase made during the year - costs of goods sold
= $220,000 + 450,000 - $420,000
= $670,000 - $420,000
= $250,000
The cost of goods would be
= Sales - sales × gross profit margin
= $600,000 - $600,000 × 30%
= $600,000 - $180,000
= $420,000
National Warehousing just announced it is increasing its annual dividend to $1.18 next year and establishing a policy whereby the dividend will increase by 3.25 percent annually thereafter. How much will one share of this stock be worth 8 years from now if the required rate of return is 9.5 percent?
Answer:
$24.38
Explanation:
The computation of the one share of worth is shown below:
= Eight-year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
where,
Next year dividend for eight-year s would be
= Annual dividend × (1 + growth rate)^number of years
= $1.18 × (1 + 3.25%)^8
= $1.18 × 1.291577535
= $1.524061492
The other items rate would remain the same
Now placing these values to the formula above
So, the price would equal to
= $1.524061492 ÷ (9.5% - 3.25%)
= $24.38

Equipment was purchased for $152000. Freight charges amounted to $5000 and there was a cost of $14000 for building a foundation and installing the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $38000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. Depreciation Expense each year using the straight-line method will be A. $26600. B. $34200. C. $26000. D. $22800.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Equipment was purchased for $152000. Freight charges amounted to $5000 and there was a cost of $14000 for building a foundation and installing the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $38000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life.
First, we need to calculate the total cost of the equipment.
Total cost= purchasing price + freight + cost required to put the asset to work
Total cost= 152,000 + 5,000 + 14,000= $171,000
Now, we can determine the depreciation cost:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (171,000 - 38,000)/5= $26,600
AA-rated bank estimates its losses of 1% of outstanding loans on average per year. The 99.9% worst-case loss if 5% of outstanding loans. Its spread between the cost of funds and the interest charged is 2.5%. You are given sufficient information to find Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital. a. True b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
The Risk adjusted Return on capital is used by banks to know the level of risk the bank may fall into based on the loan they give out to the borrowers of the loan. The bank is expected to engage in responsible risk management. The formula for calculating the risk adjusted return on capital is
Cost - Expected losses + income from capital / Economic or total capital
In this question we are given the interest charged to be 2.5%, we are given the expected losses to 1% based on industry average. But we are not given the actual figure of the loan lent out, in which to calculate the 5% of the loan which is still outstanding, and we are not given the income from the capital. We are not given the cost of the fund. Therefore, we are not given sufficient information to find Risk -Adjusted Return on capital.

Suppose that a certain country has an "MPC of 0.8 and a real GDP of $500 billion. If its investment spending decreases by $10 billion, what will be its new level of real GDP?"
Final answer:
The new level of real GDP would be $450 billion after a $10 billion decrease in investment spending, given an MPC of 0.8 and a multiplier effect of 5.
Explanation:
The student is asking about the effect of a decrease in investment spending on the country's real GDP, given a certain marginal propensity to consume (MPC). To calculate the new real GDP, we use the multiplier effect. The multiplier formula is 1/(1 - MPC). With an MPC of 0.8, the multiplier is 1/(1 - 0.8) = 5. If investment decreases by $10 billion, the overall decrease in real GDP would be the investment decrease multiplied by the multiplier, so $10 billion x 5 = $50 billion drop in real GDP. Thus, the new level of real GDP would be the initial GDP minus this decrease, $500 billion - $50 billion = $450 billion.

In June 2017, Bill, a single taxpayer, purchased a home for $187.000. Later that year, he added a new room at a cost of $28,400. In May 2018, he sold the house for $473,000. The home served as his primary residence for the entire Ume that he owned it. Bill's taxable gain on the sale is o $7,600 O $257.600 O $286,000
Answer:
Gain on sale= $257600
Explanation:
According to IAS 16 (property plant and equipment), the initial measurement of non-current asset is at cost. The cost includes the purchase price and all other directly attributable costs incurred to bring the non-current asset to it's desired location and intended use.
IAS 16 also requires that any subsequent expenditures incurred should either be expensed out if expenditures classify as Revenue expenditure and should be capitalized in the cost of the non-current asset if expenditures classify as Capital Expenditures. In Bill's case, addition of a new room in the existing home structure is an expenditure that classifies as a capital expenditure. Hence cost of the new room will be capitalized in to the cost of the home.
So the book value of Bill's home is = $187000 + $28400
BV of bills home= $215400
Sales proceeds from the sale of the home = $473000
Gain on sale= Sales proceeds - book value
Gain on sale= $473000 - $215400
Gain on sale=257600
Gerald's had opening total stockholders' equity of $160,000. During the year, total assets increased by $240,000 and total liabilities increased by $120,000. Their net income was $180,000. No additional investments were made. However, some amount was paid as dividend during the year. What was the amount of the dividend paid?
Final answer:
Gerald's paid out $60,000 in dividends during the year. This was calculated by determining the expected Stockholders' Equity after accounting for Net Income and comparing it to the actual Stockholders' Equity, accounting for the increases in total assets and liabilities.
Explanation:
To determine the amount of the dividend paid, we need to assess the change in Stockholder's Equity using the accounting equation:
Stockholder's Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities
We know Gerald's starting Stockholders' Equity is $160,000. Over the year, Total Assets increased by $240,000 and Total Liabilities increased by $120,000, thus:
New Total Assets = Old Total Assets + Increase = Starting Stockholders' Equity + Increase in Total Assets = $160,000 + $240,000 = $400,000.
New Total Liabilities = Old Total Liabilities + Increase = Increase in Total Liabilities = $120,000 (since we don't have the starting total liabilities).
New Stockholders' Equity = New Total Assets - New Total Liabilities = $400,000 - $120,000 = $280,000.
Net Income which contributes to Stockholder's Equity = $180,000. Thus, before considering dividends, the expected Stockholders' Equity should be the Starting Stockholders' Equity + Net Income = $160,000 + $180,000 = $340,000.
The actual Stockholders Equity though is $280,000. This means that the difference, which is paid out as dividends, is Stockholders' Equity expected - Actual Stockholders' Equity = $340,000 - $280,000 = $60,000.
Therefore, Gerald's paid out $60,000 in dividends during the year.
Mara is looking to send one of her team members on an international assignment to China to train a group of employees located at her company's office in Beijing. As part of the assignment, the chosen employee will have to undergo a three-week diversity training program to help him/her learn about his/her new environment. Bryan, one of Mara's colleagues, is interested in taking up the assignment. Which of the following, if true, would reduce the likelihood that Bryan will be selected?
a. Bryan does not cope very well in ambiguous situations.
b. Bryan does cope very well in ambiguous situations.
c. Bryan does not like China
d. None of the above
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": Bryan does not cope very well in ambiguous situations.
Explanation:
To successfully be part of an exchange work program, the candidate must have good integration skills to face new cultures without struggling. It does not matter if the applicant might not like to country where the assignment is taking place, it is more important for that person to be tolerant enough with different costumes so it will not affect the working environment.
Final answer:
Bryan's inability to cope well in ambiguous situations would reduce his likelihood of being chosen for an international assignment to China, since adaptability and cultural sensitivity are crucial in such roles.
Explanation:
The question revolves around the scenario of selecting an employee for an international assignment in China and determining which factor would reduce the likelihood of an employee being selected. Considering the provided context, if Bryan does not cope very well in ambiguous situations, this would reduce the likelihood that he will be selected for the assignment. The ability to cope with ambiguity is critical in international assignments because it relates to the capacity to effectively navigate and adapt to new cultural environments, which are inherently uncertain and can be radically different from one's home country culture. The success in international assignments often relies on both technical skills and personality traits such as adaptability, cultural sensitivity, and openness to new experiences, as indicated by the diverse cultural workforce and the necessity of managing cultural diversity.

Barton Corporation acquires a coal mine at a cost of $1,500,000. Intangible development costs total $360,000. After extraction has occurred, Barton must restore the property (estimated fair value of the obligation is $180,000), after which it can be sold for $510,000. Barton estimates that 5,000 tons of coal can be extracted. If 900 tons are extracted the first year, which of the following would be included in the journal entry to record depletion? a. Debit to Accumulated Depletion for $275,400 b. Debit to Inventory for $275,400 c. Credit to Inventory for $270,000 d. Credit to Accumulated Depletion for $459,000
Answer:
The answer is b. Debit to Inventory for $275,400.
Explanation:
We have Depletion base is calculated as:
Acquisition cost + Development cost + Restoration cost - Disposal price = 1,500,000 + 360,000 + 180,000 - 510,000 = $1,530,000
=> Depletion rate per one ton of extracted coal = 1,530,000/5,000 = $306
Amount of Depletion recorded in first year with 900 tons extracted = 306 x 900 = $275,400; which will be recorded in the first year as:
Dr Inventory - coal extracted 275,400
Cr Accumulated Depletion 275,400
=> Thus, (b) Debit to Inventory for $275,400 is the correct choice.

Prepare Wynn's Dec 31, 20XX, adjusting entry.
Answer:
the entry is a provision in expenses: 96,000 debit (expenses provisions), 96,000 credit (liabilities accruals)
Explanation:
The total UPC codes that Wynn Company expects to redeem is 360,000. If 120,000 were redeemed, that 240,000 are pending to redeem. In terms of blocks, it means 80,000 pending to purchase and send to customers (240,000/3=80,000). The total net cost for those blocks is $96,000, as follows: total cost = 1.1+0.6-0.5=1.2 and then multiply for the number of blocks: 80,000*1.2 = $96,000. Finally, the entry is a provision in expenses: 96,000 debit (expenses provisions), 96,000 credit (liabilities accruals)
Adjusting entries are considered as a planned part of the accounting process, in order to adjust the extra amount of transaction.
What are Adjusting Entries?

A company is considering the purchase of a new machine for $54,000. Management predicts that the machine can produce sales of $16,600 each year for the next 10 years. Expenses are expected to include direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead totaling $7,400 per year including depreciation of $4,600 per year. The company's tax rate is 40%. What is the payback period for the new machine?
a. 6.28 years.
b. 26.47 years.
c. 11.74 years.
d. 5.34 years.
e. 3.25 years.
Answer:
Payback Period = 5.34 years
so correct option is d. 5.34 years
Explanation:
given data
purchase machine = $54,000.
sales = $16,600
time = 10 year
Expenses = $7400
depreciation = $4,600 per year
tax rate = 40%
to find out
payback period for the new machine
solution
we get here earning before tax that is express as
earning before tax EBT = Sales - Expenses .............1
put her value we get
earning before tax EBT =$16600 - $7400
EBT = $9260
so we get here Tax for 40% that is
tax for 40% = 0.40 × $9260
tax for 40% = $3680
and
so net income = $5520
and
Cash Flow = net income + depreciation
Cash Flow = $5520 + $4600
Cash Flow = $10120
so Payback Period will be her as
Payback Period = Investment ÷ Annual Cash Flow ...................2
Payback Period = [tex]\frac{54000}{10120}[/tex]
Payback Period = 5.34 years
so correct option is d. 5.34 years
Final answer:
To calculate the payback period for the machine, subtract expenses from sales, add back non-cash depreciation, adjust for taxes, and divide the initial investment by the resulting after-tax cash flows. The calculated payback period is 9.78 years, which suggests a typo in the given options as none of them match this result.
Explanation:
The payback period is the time it takes for a company to recover its investment in an asset through cash flows. To calculate the payback period for the new machine, we first need to calculate net annual cash flows. Deduct the expenses, including direct materials, labor, and overhead from the annual sales. However, since depreciation is a non-cash expense, we need to add it back to get the pre-tax cash flows:
Annual Sales - (Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Overhead - Depreciation) = Net annual cash flows
Then we adjust it for taxes:
Net annual cash flows x (1 - Tax Rate) = After-tax cash flows
To find the payback period, we divide the initial investment by the after-tax cash flows:
$54,000 \div ([$16,600 - $7,400 + $4,600] x (1 - 0.40)) = Payback Period
The calculation yields $54,000 \div ($9,200 x 0.60) or $54,000 \div $5,520, which nicely equals 9.78 years. It seems there might be a typo in the given options, as none of them accurately reflects this calculation. However, when comparing this result with the provided options, 9.78 years does not match, so the assumption about a typo seems correct, and we may have to double-check the figures or the method of calculation.

Job 303 includes direct materials costs of $ 540 and direct labor costs of $ 400. If the predetermined overhead allocation rate is 50% of direct labor cost, what is the total cost assigned to Job 303?
Answer:
Total cost will be $1140
Explanation:
We have given direct material cost = $540
Direct labor cost = $400
And overhead allocation is 50 % of direct labor cost
So overhead allocation = 50 % of $400 = $200
We have to find the total cost assigned to the job
So total cost = direct material cost + direct labor cost + overhead allocation = $540 + $400 + $200 = $1140
So total cost will be $1140
The total cost assigned to Job 303, which includes direct materials, labor and overhead costs, is calculated as $1140.
Explanation:To calculate the total cost assigned to Job 303, you need to combine the direct materials costs, direct labor costs and the overhead cost which is calculated based on a predetermined overhead allocation rate. The overhead allocation rate is 50% of the direct labor cost.
Therefore, the overhead cost will be 50% of $400, which equals to $200. Hence, the total cost for Job 303 can be calculated as follows: $540 (direct materials) + $400 (direct labor) + $200 (overhead allocation) = $1140.

Stand alone risk is measured by the variability of the project's expected returns - diversification is totally ignored
The CFO of United Recycling Inc. was conducting a sensitivity analysis by varying the recycled cardboard's selling price. Market risk is measured by its effect on the firm's beta coefficient. Stand-alone risk evaluates the risk of an investment individually, ignoring diversification benefits.
Explanation:When United Recycling Inc.'s CFO created models, varying the selling price of recycled cardboard while holding other inputs constant, they were performing a sensitivity analysis. Sensitivity analysis helps to understand the impact of a single variable on a financial model while scenario analysis would involve changing multiple variables simultaneously. Risk analysis is indeed a crucial part of capital budgeting, as it helps to evaluate the uncertainty surrounding an investment's profitability and expected rate of return.
The measurement of risk by its effect on a firm's beta coefficient relates to market risk, also known as beta risk. Market risk is relevant in the context of a diversified portfolio, where we consider the systemic risk that cannot be diversified away. When we talk about a risk measure that ignores diversification, we typically refer to stand-alone risk, which evaluates investment risk on an individual basis without considering how the investment affects portfolio risk.

The question essentially is related to the implications of foreign exchange rates on the financial accounts of a company that engages in international transactions. The accounts receivable and payable values need to be adjusted to reflect changes in exchange rates to give an accurate account of the company's financial state.
Explanation:The subject matter at hand appears to involve aspects of international business, specifically focusing on foreign exchange and accounting. These details are represented by Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable in various currencies, which emphasizes the effects of changes in exchange rates on company ledgers.
The value of each of these transactions changes as the exchange rate between the currency of the transaction and the U.S. dollar fluctuates. For example, if the exchange rate for the Egyptian pound to the U.S. dollar increases, then the value of the accounts receivable denominated in Egyptian pounds will increase and need to be adjusted accordingly.
As end-of-year financials are being prepared, it is required to adjust these balances to represent the most accurate value in U.S. dollars due to changes in the exchange rates. These adjustments ensure that financial records accurately reflect the company's financial condition in terms of US dollars, which is home currency.

a company is considering the purchase of a new machine. The cost of the machine is $70,000. the annual cash flow are: 1 year $13,000; 2 year $24,000; 3 year $33,000; 4 year $21000, a) if the cost of capital is 8%. what is the net present value of the machine?
Answer:
Net present value of machine = 4,245
Explanation:
In order to find the net present value of the machine we will discount the future cash flows of the machine using the cost of capital of 8% and add all of them up in order to calculate the present value of future cash flows and then we will subtract the initial cost of $70,000 in order to calculate the net present value.
Year 1 = 13,000 PV= 13,000/1.08=12,037
Year 2 = 24.000 PV=24,000/1.08^2=20,576
Year 3 = 33,000 PV=33,000/1.08^3=26,196
Year 4= 21,000 PV=21,000/1.08^4=15,435
12,037+20,576+26,196+15,435
Sum of the preset value of all future cash flows = 74,245
Net present value = 74,245-70,000=4,245
Assume that a value stream in Elite Company has two products with material costs of $40,000 and $80,000 for a given week. The conversion costs for the week amounted to $360,000. The units produced for the first product are 21,000 with 20,000 shipped to customers. For the second product, 40,000 units were produced and shipped. Calculate the cost per unit for the first product. (Note: Round to two decimal places.)
a. $9.00 per unit
b. $3.00 per unit
c. $8.00 per unit
d. $6.00 per unit
Answer:
c. $8.00 per unit
Explanation:
Total Cost = Conversion Cost + Material Cost
Total Cost = $360,000 + ($40,000 + $80,000)
Total Cost = $480,000
Total Units = Product 1 units shipped + Product 2 units shipped
Total Units = 20,000 + 40,000
Total Units = 60,000
Cost per unit of 1st product can be calculated as follows;
Cost per unit = Total Cost / Total Units
Cost Per Unit = $480,000 / 60,000
Cost Per Unit = $8.00 per unit
Common components of an SLA include which of the following:
a. MTBF
b. Uptime percentage
c. Throughput
d. None of the above
e. All of the above
Answer:
d. None of the above
Explanation:
The Service Level Agreement (SLA) is the term of the ITIL methodology that denotes a formal agreement between the customer of the service and its provider, containing a description of the service, the rights and obligations of the parties and, most importantly, the agreed level of quality of the service.
A well-defined and typical SLA will contain the following components:
1) Type of service provided: indicates the type of service and any additional information about the type of service provided. If connected to an IP network, the type of service will describe functions such as the operation and maintenance of network equipment, the bandwidth of the connection that must be provided, etc.
2) The required level of service performance, especially its reliability and responsiveness: a reliable service is one that experiences minimal disruptions over a period of time and is almost always available. The service with good responsiveness will perform the desired action immediately after the client requests it.
3) Monitoring process and service level reports. This component describes how performance levels are monitored and controlled. This process involves collecting statistics of various types, how often these statistics will be collected, and how customers will gain access to these statistics.
4) Steps for reporting problems using the service: This component will indicate the contact information by which the problem should be reported, and the order in which the details of the problem should be reported. The contract will also include a period of time during which the problem will be considered, as well as until the moment the problem is resolved.
5) Timing of response and resolution of the problem. Response time is the period during which the service provider begins investigating the problem. A problem resolution time period is a period of time during which a current maintenance problem will be resolved and fixed.
6) Consequences for a non-fulfilling service provider: if the provider is not able to fulfill the requirements specified in the SLA, the service provider will have to face the consequences for the same. These consequences may include the client’s right to terminate the contract or demand compensation for losses incurred by the client as a result of the denial of service.

2. Research the Ringelmann Effect. How does it contribute to our modern-day understanding of team dynamic?
3. Discuss the characteristics of a highly effective team.
4. What are some of the barriers to team work?
Groups comprise individuals with varying objectives, while teams are cohesive units with a common goal. The Ringelmann Effect explains reduced individual productivity as team size grows, influencing our grasp of team dynamics. Effective teams are characterized by cohesion and clear roles, while poor communication and leadership can impede teamwork.
Understanding Groups and Teams
To understand the difference between groups and teams, it’s essential to recognize that while all teams can be considered groups, not all groups are teams. A group is a collection of individuals who come together to achieve a particular task or goal but may have different objectives and leadership. In contrast, a team is a cohesive unit with a high degree of interdependence, focused on achieving a common goal, often with shared leadership and accountability.
The Ringelmann Effect and Team Dynamics
The Ringelmann Effect is a phenomenon where individual members of a group become less productive as the size of the group increases. This understanding contributes to our modern-day understanding of team dynamics by highlighting the potential for social loafing and reinforcing the need for clear individual responsibilities within teams.
Characteristics of Effective Teams
A highly effective team often displays strong group cohesion, collective efficacy, clear roles and tasks, and the ability to navigate through the stages of group development effectively. They also show a high degree of adaptability, communication, and mutual support.
Barriers to Teamwork
Common barriers to teamwork include poor communication, lack of clear direction or goals, interpersonal conflicts, and inadequate leadership. Understanding these can help teams design strategies to overcome them, fostering greater collaboration and productivity.
