Answer:
d- EVP has a short-term swing profit is $3000
Explanation:
Lets first understand what short-term swing profit is. Short-term swing profit is profit dependent upon a rule normally set by the securities & exchange commission which states that any profits made by company insiders through the purchase and sale of share/stocks within six months must be returned to the company. Company insiders are people/employees working within the entity mostly having more than 10% of company's shares or employees such as executives, directors and managers.
Now It's not clear from the question what the purchase price of the shares was when EVP sold them on January 12 2016, assuming these shares were purchased at $20, then the short-term swing profit would be $2000 as at January. Then EVP purchases 100 shares at $20 and sells them at $30 per share as at june. The additional short-term swing profit would be $1000 (i.e $30-$20=$10 per share).
Therefore the total short-term swing profit is $3000
The EVP of Vinco, Inc. has a short-swing profit of $1,000 from buying and selling the company's shares within a six month period.
Explanation:The correct answer is 'EVP has a short-swing profit of $1,000.' This is calculated from the buying and selling transactions made by the executive vice president (EVP) of Vinco, Inc. The short-swing profit refers to the amount made by an executive in a publicly-traded corporation from buying and selling the company's shares within a six-month period.
The calculation is as follows:
The EVP sold 100 shares for $40 each, making a total of $4,000 on January 12, 2016. Then, the EVP bought 100 shares for $20 each, spending a total of $2,000 on May 5, 2016. Finally, the EVP sold 100 shares for $30 each on June 1, 2016. This totals to $3,000.
So, the EVP has spent $2,000 (in buying shares) and made $7,000 (from selling shares). The short-swing profit is, therefore, the $7,000 gained from sales minus $2,000 spent on buying shares, equaling to $1,000.

All of the five elements of manufacturing contribute to the cost of production. Which one of the following is NOT one of the 5Ms?
A. Methods
B. Mandates
C. Measurement
D. Machinery
Answer:
Mandates, Option B is not a part of 5Ms.
Explanation:
The cost of production is the total sum of money spent as the cost of the resources that went into making the final product. This cost can include different factors of production.
They would include labor (Man), capital (Money), Materials that are processed or assembles to make the final product, Machinery (which actually helps creating the product), Measurement or Method (Each product follows a process or a method for completion). These are the 5Ms of cost of production. So, the M that is not a part of this is Mandates, option B.
Your college is considering renting space in the student union to one or two commercial textbook stores. The rent the college can charge per square foot of space depends on the profit (before rent) of the firms and hence on whether there is a monopoly or a duopoly. Which number of stores is better for the college in terms of rent? Which is better for students? Why?
Answer and explanation:
In both cases, in terms of rent and terms of students benefits, it will be better for the college to have two stores, In that way, the college makes sure the profits will be higher than just by having one store on campus and students are benefited because of the variety of books they could find in the two stores, not just in one.
Suppose we are interested in bidding on a piece of land and we know one other bidder is interested. The seller announced that the highest bid in excess of $10,000 will be accepted. Assume that the competitor's bid x is a random variable that is uniformly distributed between $10,000 and $15,000.
(a) Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted? If required, round your answer to two decimal places.
(b) Suppose you bid $14,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted? If required, round your answer to two decimal places.
(c) What amount should you bid to maximize the probability that you get the property?
Answer:
Explanation:
f(x) = (1/(15,000-10,000))/0 (elsewhere) = 1/5000
a. What is the probability that a $12,000 bid will be accepted?
P(10,000 < x < 12,000) = 2000(1/5000) = 0.40
b. What is the probability that a $14,000 bid will be accepted?
P(10,000 < x < 14,000) = 4000(1/5000) = 0.80
c. What amount should you bid to maximize the probability that you get the property?
$14,000 is my answer.
$14000 bid has a higher probability, hence a greater chance of being accepted
The probability that a $12,000 bid will be accepted is 40%, while a $14,000 bid has an 80% chance of being accepted. To maximize the probability of securing the property, one should bid just over $15,000.
Explanation:When considering the probability that a bid for a piece of land will be accepted, we assume the competitor's bid is uniformly distributed between $10,000 and $15,000. For the bid to be accepted, it must be higher than the competitor's bid, x.
(a)If you bid $12,000, the probability that this bid exceeds the competitor's bid is the portion of the uniform distribution from $10,000 to $12,000. Since the competitor's bids are uniformly distributed, it's a simple linear calculation: the probability is ($12,000 - $10,000) / ($15,000 - $10,000) = $2,000 / $5,000 = 0.4 or 40%.
(b) If you bid $14,000, we apply the same principle. The probability your bid will be accepted is ($14,000 - $10,000) / ($15,000 - $10,000) = $4,000 / $5,000 = 0.8 or 80%.
(c) To maximize the probability of getting the property, you should bid slightly more than the maximum of the competitor's bid range, which is slightly more than $15,000.

On January 1, 2016, Randolf Company signed a contract to have Rory Associates construct a manufacturing facility at a cost of $14,000,000. It was estimated that it would take three years to complete the project. Also on January 1, 2016, to finance the construction cost, Randolf borrowed $14,000,000 payable in seven annual installments of $2,000,000 plus interest at the rate of 9%. During 2016, Randolf made progress payments totaling $5,000,000 under the contract, and the average amount of accumulated expenditures was $3,000,000 for the year. The excess borrowed funds were invested in short-term securities, from which Randolf realized investment income of $330,000. What amount should Randolf report as capitalized interest at December 31, 2016?
Answer:
$270000
Explanation:
Actual interest = 14.000.000*9%=1.260.000 Avoidable interest=Weighted average accumulated expenditure*interest rate = 3.000.000*9%=270.000 Interest to be capitalized=Lower of actual interest or avoidable interest=Lower of 1.260.000 or 270.000=270.000
Answer is $270000
Suppose Autodesk stock has a beta of 2.20, whereas Costco stock has a beta of 0.68. If the risk-free interest rate is 6 % and the expected return of the market portfolio is 14.0 %, what is the expected return of a portfolio that consists of 70 % Autodesk stock and 30 % Costco stock, according to the CAPM?
Answer:
19.952%
Explanation:
For computing the expected rate of return, first we have to determine the beta which is shown below:
= Stock Auto desk weightage × stock Auto desk beta + Stock Costco weightage × stock Costco beta
= 0.70 × 2.20+ 0.30 × 0.68
= 1.54 + 0.204
= 1.744
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 6% + 1.744 × (14% - 6%)
= 6% + 1.744 × 8%
= 6% + 13.952%
= 19.952%
Final answer:
The expected return of a portfolio consisting of 70% Autodesk stock and 30% Costco stock, calculated using the CAPM model, is 19.172%.
Explanation:
The question involves calculating the expected return of a portfolio using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). CAPM formula is given by E(Ri) = Rƒ + β(E(Rm) – Rƒ), where E(Ri) is the expected return of investment i, Rƒ is the risk-free rate, β is the beta of the investment, and E(Rm) is the expected return of the market. Given that the risk-free rate is 6%, the expected return of the market is 14%, Autodesk stock has a beta of 2.20, Costco stock has a beta of 0.68, and the portfolio consists of 70% Autodesk and 30% Costco, we calculate:
Expected return for Autodesk stock = 6% + 2.20(14% – 6%) = 23.6%
Expected return for Costco stock = 6% + 0.68(14% – 6%) = 11.44%
Expected return for the portfolio = 70% * 23.6% + 30% * 11.44% = 19.172%
Therefore, according to CAPM, the expected return of the portfolio is 19.172%.
Describe two of the four approaches to ethical reasoning. Please include an example of each. Your example could be one that you observed or experienced during your life or an original idea.
Explanation:
1- Virtue Ethics: It can be described as an ethical approach that prioritizes the subjective and instinctive virtues shared by all human beings regardless of cultural traits. Emphasizes generosity, faithfulness, the sense of human generosity, character, and virtues coming from the mind.
An example of the ethical theory of virtue is an unknown person who needs some help and approaches another person who is readily available to help.
2- Duty-based ethics: It is ethics based on human rationality to exercise principles and ethical duty, regardless of positive or negative consequences for oneself.
An example of this ethical theory is entrepreneurs who use some strategies to achieve operational goals, but are aware that they must take responsibility not to exceed ethical values even if it is for the good of the business.

As of December 31, 2016, Nala Incorporated reported accounts receivable for $275,000 less allowance for doubtful accounts of $27,000 on their balance sheet. During 2017, Nala Incorporated had the following transactions related to their receivables balance:
(1) Sales on account $180,000
(2) Collections of accounts receivable 125,000
(3) Sales returns 20,000
(4) Write-offs of accounts receivable deemed uncollectible 35,000
(5) Recovery of bad debts previously written off 2,500
(a) Prepare the journal entries for each of these five transactions
(b) Prepare the journal entry to record bad debt expense for 2017, assuming that the aging of accounts receivable indicates that estimated bad debts are 10% of accounts receivable.
Answer:
a. 1. Debit Accounts receivable $180,000
Credit Sales $180,000
2. Debit cash $125,000
Credit Accounts receivable $125,000
3. Debit Sales return $20,000
Credit $20,000
4. Debit Provision for bad debts expense $35,000
Credit Accounts receivable $35,000
5. Debit Accounts receivable $ $2,500
Credit Provision for bad debts expense $2,500
Debit Cash $2,500
Credit Accounts receivable $2,500
B. Debit Bad debts expense $27,500
Credit provision for bad debt expense $27,500
Explanation:
1. Sale on account will increase the accounts receivable. So we have to debit accounts receivable and credit to sales in the amount of $180,000
2. Collections will decrease the accounts receivable due payments made by the customer. So we have to debit cash and credit accounts receivable by $125,000
3. Sales return is a contra asset account that will decrease the accounts receivable and also the net sales. So we will debit sales return and credit accounts receivable in the amount of $20,000
4. Write offs will decrease the provision for bad debts account as well as the accounts receivable accounts by $35,000
5. Recovery of bad debts previously written off has no effect in accounts receivable but will increase the provision for bad debts due to reversal of entry previously made. First, we will reverse the original written off entry. Debit Accounts receivable and credit provision for bad debts expense in the amount of $2,500. Then we will record the collection by debiting cash and crediting accounts receivable in the amount of $2,500
B. Let’s determine the balance of accounts receivable first,
Beg. $275,000 + 180,000 sale on account - 125,000 collection - 20,000 sales return - 35,000 write-off = $275,000
Therefore, $275,000 x 10% = $27,500
Entry:
Debit Bad debts expense $27,500
Credit provision for bad debts expense $27,500
A partnership agreement provides that, at sale, cash proceeds are distributed first to Ms. Jones in an amount equal to her original investment less any cash distributions previously received, then split 60%-40% between Ms. Jones and Mr. Smith, respectively. Assume that the cash flows from sale are $1 million. How much would Ms. Jones receive if her initial investment was $600,000 and she previously received $100,000 in distributions
Answer:
$800,000
Explanation:
The total amount received by Ms. Jones (A) is given by the following expression:
[tex]A = I-D + (S-(I-D))*0.6[/tex]
Where 'I' is Ms. Jones initial investment, 'D' are cash distributions previously received and 'S' is the cash flow from sales.
The amount received by Ms. Jones is:
[tex]A = 600,000-100,000 + (1,000,000-(600,000-100,000))*0.6\\A= 800,000[/tex]
She would receive $800,000.
Howard Cooper, the president of Glacier Computer Services, needs your help. He wonders about the potential effects on the firm’s net income if he changes the service rate that the firm charges its customers. The following basic data pertain to fiscal year 2019: Standard rate and variable costs Service rate per hour $ 60.00 Labor cost 32.00 Overhead cost 5.76 Selling, general, and administrative cost 3.44 Expected fixed costs Facility maintenance $ 320,000 Selling, general, and administrative 120,000 Required Prepare the pro forma income statement that would appear in the master budget if the firm expects to provide 30,000 hours of services in 2019. A marketing consultant suggests to Mr. Cooper that the service rate may affect the number of service hours that the firm can achieve. According to the consultant’s analysis, if Glacier charges customers $56 per hour, the firm can achieve 38,000 hours of services. Prepare a flexible budget using the consultant’s assumption. The same consultant also suggests that if the firm raises its rate to $64 per hour, the number of service hours will decline to 25,000. Prepare a flexible budget using the new assumption.

The answer and procedures of the exercise are attached in the following archives.
Step-by-step explanation:
You will find the procedures, formulas or necessary explanations in the archive attached below. If you have any question ask and I will aclare your doubts kindly.
Final answer:
A pro forma income statement and two flexible budgets were prepared for Glacier Computer Services based on different service rates and expected service hours. The highest net income is achieved at a rate of $64 per hour with 25,000 service hours. Lowering the rate to $56 per hour for 38,000 service hours results in a lower net income.
Explanation:
Howard Cooper, president of Glacier Computer Services, wishes to understand how fluctuations in the service rate might affect the company’s net income. We need to prepare pro forma and flexible budgets based on differing service rates and projected service hours. To begin, we will create a master budget's pro forma income statement for the initial expectation of 30,000 service hours at a $60.00 rate per hour.
Master Budget (Initial):
Revenue: $60.00/hour × 30,000 hours = $1,800,000
Variable Costs (Labor + Overhead + SG&A): ($32.00 + $5.76 + $3.44)/hour × 30,000 hours = $1,236,000
Fixed Costs (Facility + SG&A): $320,000 + $120,000 = $440,000
Net Income: Revenue – Variable Costs – Fixed Costs = $1,800,000 – $1,236,000 – $440,000 = $124,000
Next, we'll prepare flexible budgets considering the consultant’s suggestions:
Flexible Budget (Service Rate $56/hour, 38,000 hours):
Revenue: $56.00 × 38,000 = $2,128,000
Variable Costs: ($32.00 + $5.76 + $3.44) × 38,000 = $1,578,880
Net Income: $2,128,000 – $1,578,880 – $440,000 = $109,120
Flexible Budget (Service Rate $64/hour, 25,000 hours):
Revenue: $64.00 × 25,000 = $1,600,000
Variable Costs: ($32.00 + $5.76 + $3.44) × 25,000 = $1,030,000
Net Income: $1,600,000 – $1,030,000 – $440,000 = $130,000
Comparing the net incomes of all budgets, raising the price to $64/hour for fewer hours results in a higher net income compared to the original master budget, while reducing the price to $56/hour leads to a decrease in net income despite more service hours.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Act requires employers to classify their employees by gender and national origin. Which level of measurement is this? Select one:
a. Nominal
b. Ordinal
c. Interval
d. Ratio
The classification required by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act exemplifies the Nominal level of measurement. This is because these classifications simply provide labels for different categories without establishing an order or hierarchy among them.The correct option is A
Explanation:The classification of employees by gender and national origin as required by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act represents a Nominal level of measurement.
This is because the nominal level of measurement is characterized by data that can be categorized into groups with no order or priority. Here, categories such as 'gender' and 'national origin' are simply labels that distinguish groups without providing a hierarchy or quantifiable difference between these groups.
In the case of other options: Ordinal measurement involves categories with some order (like rankings); Interval measurement entails known and equal differences between values with no fixed zero point; and Ratio measurement has all characteristics of interval measurement but with a fixed zero point

Highly Suspect Corp. has current liabilities of $415,000, a quick ratio of .79, inventory turnover of 9.5, and a current ratio of 1.25. What is the cost of goods sold for the company?
Answer:
1. Current ratio = Current assets
Current liabilities
1.25 = Current assets
$415,000
Current assets = 1.25 x $415,000
Current assets = $518,759
2. Quick ratio= Current assets - Inventory
Current liabilities
0.79 = $518,750 - Inventory
$415,000
0.79 x $415,000 = $518,750 - Inventory
$327,850 = $518,750 - Inventory
Inventory = $518,750 - $327,850
Inventory = $190,900
3. Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold
Inventory
9.5 = Cost of goods sold
$190,900
Cost of goods sold = 9.5 x $190,900
Cost of goods sold = $1,813,550
Explanation:
In the first instance, there is need to apply the formula of current ratio in which current ratio and current assets have been given with the exception of current assets. Therefore, current asset is made the subject of the formula.
In the second case, we will apply the formula of quick ratio, where quick ratio, current assets and current liabilities were known except the inventory. Inventory becomes the subject of the formula.
Finally, we will apply the formula of inventory turnover, where inventory and inventory turnover were known, cost of goods sold is made the subject of the formula.
Cost of goods sold to a company is $1,813,550. The explanation part is attached in the form of image for better understanding.
What is inventory turnover?The inventory turnover ratio determines how often inventory is sold and replaced over a predetermined period of time. Inventory turnover ratio is Average Inventory divided by Cost of Goods Sold.
Inventory turnover measures the frequency with which a company's stock is changed in relation to its cost of sales. A higher ratio is preferred in general. Slow sales or overstocking may be indicated by a low inventory turnover ratio it is also known as surplus inventory.
The average yearly inventory is essentially inventory turnover. It shows how frequently the business has sold stock over a given period of time. This figure is significant since it allows businesses to plan their next financial activities.

She contributes 4% to her 401(k), of which her employer matches half. Cordelia's employer pays the following monthly amounts toward her insurance: health, $125; life, $50; AD&D, $30.
Snaktyme Foods pays employer-only taxes and insurance that comprises an additional 14% of Cordelia's annual salary.
What is Cordelia's total annual compensation?A.$28,000B.$31,500C.$29,260D.$29,900
Answer:
option (B) 31,500
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Annual earning = $24,000
Worth of uniform = $350
Training worth = $850
Contribution to 401(k) = half of 4% of earning
= 0.5 × 0.04 × $24,000
= $480
monthly amounts toward her insurance:
health = $125
Life = $50
AD&D = $30
Total annual amounts toward her insurance = 12 × [ $125 + $50 +$30 ]
= 12 × 205
= $2,460
Therefore,
Employer taxes and insurance = 14% of $24,000
= $3,360
Therefore,
Cordelia's total annual compensation
= $24,000 + $350 + $850 + $480 + $2,460 + $3,360
= $31,500
Hence,

Fuller Company builds swimming pools. Fuller budgets that they will sell 12 pools during the month of April at a price of $20,176 per pool. Actual pools sold by Fuller during April were 16 pools at a price of $20,992 per pool. What is the Sales Volume Variance for April? If the variance is unfavorable, use a negative sign right before the number with no space in between.
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.

The most preferable method to control environmentally hazardous materials is source reduction or elimination, which involves changing manufacturing processes to produce less or no hazardous materials.
The preferred method for controlling environmentally hazardous materials during manufacturing, operations, and disposal is source reduction or elimination. This control strategy is higher on the environmental hierarchy than treatment, recycling, and disposal. While these other methods can also help to mitigate the impact of hazardous materials on the environment, they are less preferable because they do not eliminate the problem at its root. Source reduction involves altering the manufacturing process to lower or eliminate the production of hazardous materials, thereby preventing environmental harm before it begins.

Col2 Cash Flow $ 530 690 875 1,090
a. If the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the present value of these cash flows
b. What is the present value at 18 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations
c. What is the present value at 24 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations e.g., 32.16.) and round your answer to 2 decimal places,
Answer:
Explanation:
Cash flow is 530 , 690 , 875 and 1090 in 1st to 4 th year respectively
discount rate = 10 %
NPV = 530/ 1.10 + 690 / (1.10)² + 875/(1.10)³ + 1090/ (1.10)⁴
= (530x1.10³ + 690 x 1.10² + 875x 1.10 + 1090)/ 1.10⁴
= (705.43 x +834.9 +962.5 +1090)1.10⁴
= 3592.83 / 1.10⁴
= 2453.95
Discount rate 18%
NPV = 530/ 1.18 + 690 / (1.18)² + 875/(1.18)³ + 1090/ (1.18)⁴
= (530x1.18³ + 690 x 1.18² + 875x 1.18 + 1090)/ 1.18⁴
= (870.80696 +960.756 +1032.5 +1090)1.18⁴
= 2039.46
Discount rate 24%
NPV = 530/ 1.24 + 690 / (1.24)² + 875/(1.24)³ + 1090/ (1.24)⁴
= (530x1.24³ + 690 x 1.24² + 875x 1.24 + 1090)/ 1.24⁴
1010.51072+ 1060.944+1085+1090 / 1.24⁴
