Answer:
9.749 years
Explanation:
Given that :
Principal, P = 20,000
Total investment A = 35000
Investment 1:
P = $10,000
Compounded continuously at r = 5.2% = 0.052
A = Pe^rt
Investment B:
P = $10,000
Compounded annually at r = 6.4% = 0.064
A = P(1 + r)^t
Hence, final amount, A on both investment = 35000
A = Pe^rt + P(1 + r)^t
35000 = 10000e^0.052t + 10000(1 + 0.064)^t
Divide through by 10000
3.5 = e^0.052t + 1.064^t
t = 9.749123
t = 9.749 years

A. Phone call
B. Letter
C. Instant message
D. Face-to-face meeting
Answer:
1. A. Formal
2. C. Instant message
Explanation:
In this scenario, you are running a business and as such the tone of any message to a customer or potential client should always be formal. Since you have a set public policy for the warranty the best communication channel would be Instant Message or E-mail. This way you can provide a copy of your return policy so that the individual understands that you are not obligated to perform any actions since their warranty has already expired.
Indiana Company produces couches. The fixed monthly cost of production is $8,000, and the variable cost per unit is $65. The couches sell for $180 apiece. Answer these questions: 3 points each 1) For a monthly volume of 300 tables, determine the total cost, total revenue, and profit. 2) Determine the monthly break-even volume for Indiana Company.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1) For a monthly volume of 300 tables, determine the total cost, total revenue, and profit.
Fixed monthly cost = $8000
Variable cost per unit = $65
Selling price = $180 each
Monthly volume = 300
Therefore, the total cost will be
= $8000 + ($65 × 300)
= $8000 + $19500
= $27500
The total revenue will then be:
= Price × Quantity
= $180 * 300 units
= $54000
Total profit will be:
= Sales revenue - Cost
= $54000 - $27500
= $26500
b) Break even volume simply means the volume whereby no profit or loss is incurred. This will be:
= $8000 / ($180 - $65)
= $8000 / $115
= 69.56 units
= 70 units

Sigma Corporation applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. Job V, which was started and completed during the current period, shows charges of $6,700 for direct materials, $9,500 for direct labor, and $6,270 for overhead on its job cost sheet. Job W, which is still in process at year-end, shows charges of $4,100 for direct materials and $4,100 for direct labor.
Required:
Calculate the overhead cost be added to Job W at year-end
Answer:
Job W= $2,706
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on allocated overhead to Job V:
Job V:
Direct labor= $9,500
Allocated overhead= $6,270
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
6,270= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*9,500
6,270/9,500= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $0.66 per direct labor dollar.
Now, for Job W:
Job W= 0.66*4,100
Job W= $2,706

If there were no variances, the company's absorption-costing income would be ___________
Answer:
Net operating profit= $230,000
Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
First, we need to calculate the unitary cost:
Unitary production cost= 19 + (240,000/40,000)
Unitary production cost= $25
Now, the income statement:
Sales= 37,000*42= 1,554,000
COGS= (37,000*25)= (925,000)
Gross profit= 629,000
Total selling and administrative cost= (7*37,000) + 140,000= (399,000)
Net operating profit= $230,000

Assume the following relationships for the Caulder Corp.: Sales/Total assets 1.7× Return on assets (ROA) 5.0% Return on equity (ROE) 13.0% Calculate Caulder's profit margin and debt-to-capital ratio assuming the firm uses only debt and common equity, so total assets equal total invested capital. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places. Profit margin: % Debt-to-capital ratio: %
Answer:
Profit margin=3%
Debt-to-capital ratio: = 3.8%
Explanation:
Calculations for Profit margin % and Debt-to-capital ratio: %
Calculation for profit margin
Profit margin =.05/1.7
profit margin=0.03*100
profit margin=3%
Calculation for Debt-to-capital ratio using this formula
Debt-to-capital ratio= ROA * (1 / ROE)
Let plug in the formula
Debt-to-capital ratio = .05 * (1 / .013)
Debt-to-capital ratio = .05 *76.92
Debt-to-capital ratio= 3.8%
Therefore: Profit margin=3%
Debt-to-capital ratio = 3.8%

Explanation:
Suppose that in the market for loanable funds, the governement is currently running a deficit, and net exports are negative. Then, there is a sharp recession, causing consumer spending on both domestic and imported goods to fall (just as is currently happening), so that the size of the trade deficit shrinks. What effect will this have on the market for loanable funds
Answer: 4. Demand will shift inwards, lower rates and decreasing lending.
Explanation:
People demand loanable funds for spending on consumption and investment. If there is a recession, people will buy less goods and companies will invest less as well.
This will reduce the demand that people and companies have for loanable funds. The demand will therefore shift inwards to the left and lead to lower rates and decreased lending.

Cost of goods sold $_______
Direct materials cost $________
Direct labor cost $_______.
Answer:
Cost of goods sold= $7,395,300
Direct material cost= $3,727,200
Direct labor cost= $3,137,300
Explanation:
A. Calculation to Determine Cost of goods sold using this formula
Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross Profit
Let plug in the formula
Cost of goods sold= $ 12,755,000 - 5,359,700
Cost of goods sold= $7,395,300
Therefore Cost of goods sold will be $7,395,300
B. Calculation to Determine Direct material cost using this formula
Direct material cost= Material purchased - Indirect materials - Material Inventory, end of period
Let plug in the formula
Direct material cost= 4,251,600 - 185,500 - 298,900
Direct material cost= $3,727,200
Therefore Direct material cost will be $3,727,200
c. Calculation to determine Direct labor cost using this formula
Direct labor cost= Total manufacturing cost - Direct material costs - other factory overhead - Indirect labor
Let plug in the formula
Direct labor cost= 8,122,000 - $3,727,200 - 834,900 - 422,600
Direct labor cost= $3,137,300
Therefore Direct labor cost will be $3,137,300
On January 1, Year 1, Chertco acquired a patent for $500,000 and, using the straight-line method, began amortizing it properly over its estimated useful life of 10 years. The asset has no residual value. At December 31, Year 4, a significant change in the business climate caused Chertco to assess the recoverability of the carrying amount of the patent. Chertco estimated that the undiscounted future net cash inflows from the patent would be $325,000 and that its fair value was $275,000. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, Year 4, Chertco should recognize an impairment loss of :________.
a. $175,000
b. $50,000
c. $25,000
d. $0
Answer:
c. $25,000
Explanation:
We recognize impairment loss when the Carrying Amount of an Asset is greater than its Recoverable Amount.
Recoverable Amount of an Asset is the Higher of Asset Fair Value and Value in use. The future cash shows represent value in use and these need to be discounted. Since they are not, Recoverable Amount = $275,000
Carrying Amount of an Asset is the Cost of the Asset less all depreciation charges to date of the impairment test, Carrying Amount = $300,000
Therefore, Impairment loss = $25,000 ($300,000 - $275,000)

In 2004 a California woman named Lisa Torti was in a vehicle with her friend Alexandra Van Horn when they were involved in a car accident that was not their fault. Lisa, upon seeing what she thought was smoke, grabbed Alexandra and quickly pulled her out of the vehicle and away from danger. Alexandra had a severe spinal injury and later sued Lisa for moving her away from the smoking vehicle (and thereby causing more spinal injury).
Many states have laws that prevent bringing lawsuits against a "good samaritan" who is attempting to help you. However, in 2008 a California court ruled 4-3 that Alexandra’s lawsuit against Lisa was justified and could continue.
Assuming Lisa was in fact negligent in moving her friend from the vehicle, discuss your opinion on whether cases like this should be allowed to be brought. Under what circumstances should a "good samaritan" be allowed to be sued?
Explain your answer in 2 or more paragraphs. Then review a few of your classmates posts and give a substantive response to one of them with a paragraph.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
This case is complex because the "good samaritan" is always doing things trying to help and under these circumstances such as danger or accident, tje individual is under so much stress, nervousness, and fear. So more than thinking, he/she is reacting.
And that is what Lisa did when she saw smoke in the car. She thought that her friend could be in danger or great risk and her first reaction -not thinking- was to move her and keep her out of the danger zone.
Assuming Lisa was in fact negligent in moving her friend from the vehicle, the trial should proceed but it is difficult to demonstrate in court the real intentions of the "good samaritan."
The circumstances in which a "good samaritan" should be allowed to be sued is when there is clear evidence that he/she acted on purpose, trying to inflict pain or damage to the other person.
Lisa Torti was sued by her friend Alexandra Van Horn, after a car accident in 2004. The California court concluded that there was no medical reason to pull Alexandra out of the car, causing her vertebral damage.

Prepare a summary journal entry to record raw materials used. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.) Date Account Titles and Explanation Debit Credit Jan. 31 enter an account title for the journal entry on January 31
Answer:
Dr Work in process inventory 2,800
Dr Factory overhead 600
Cr Raw material inventory 3,400
Explanation:
Work in process = $900 + $1,200 + $700 = $2,800
Factory overhead (supplies) is the same, $600
inventory decrease = WIP + supplies = $2,800 + $600 = $3,400
The Dieker Company will keep track of the production's raw materials on January 31. The final journal entry will read like this:
Dr Work in process inventory 2,800
Dr Factory overhead 600
Cr Raw material inventory 3,400
Work in process = $900 + $1,200 + $700
Work in process = $2,800
Factory overhead (supplies) is the same, $600
Inventory decrease = WIP + supplies
Inventory decrease = $2,800 + $600
Inventory decrease = $3,400
The same amount will be credited to the account for raw materials inventory, reducing the balance of the account to represent the raw materials utilized in production.

One of the key decisions employers must make is the level of compensation provided to employees. Compensation is a significant cost, and employees are one of the most important assets of the organization. It is important that the organization makes and executes good strategic choices. To facilitate this process, many organizations think systematically about its job structures for compensation and pay levels for different jobs.
An organization's job structure consists of relative pay for different functions and different levels of responsibility. It defines, for example, the difference in pay between entry-level and management jobs, as well as different entry-level jobs in different departments, such as in production or accounting. Pay level is the average amount that an organization pays for a particular job and includes wages, salaries, and bonuses.

Jefferson Company, a commercial painting contractor, uses a normal-costing system to cost each job. Its job-costing system has two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct labor) and one indirect-cost pool called overhead costs. To each job, Jefferson allocates overhead at a budgeted rate of 80% of direct labor costs.
Jefferson provides the additional information for February:
1. As of February 1, Job A21, the only job in process, had incurred direct material costs of $30,000 and direct labor costs of $50,000.
2. Jobs A22, A23, and A24 were started in February.
3. Direct materials used during February were $150,000.
4. Direct labor costs for February were $120,000.
5. Actual overhead costs for February were $102,000.
6. On February 28, Job A24 was the only job still in process, and it had incurred direct materials costs of $20,000 and direct labor costs of $40,000.
As each job is completed, its cost is transferred to the Cost of Jobs Billed account. Each month, Jefferson closes any under-or over-allocated overhead to Cost of Jobs Billed.
1. Give one example of a direct cost and one example of an overhead cost for a job undertaken by Jefferson Company.
2. Calculate the overhead allocated to Job A21 as of February 1.
3. Calculate the overhead allocated to Job A24 as of February 28.
4. Calculate the under- or overallocated overhead for February.
5. Calculate ending balance of jobs still in process as of February 28.
6. Compute the Cost of Jobs Billed for February.
Answer:
Jefferson Company1. An example of a direct cost is the cost of direct raw materials. An example of an overhead cost is cost of factory repairs and maintenance.
2. The overhead allocated to Job A21 as of February 1 is $40,000.
3. The overhead allocated to Job A24 as of February 28 is $32.000.
4. The under-allocated overhead for February is $6,000
5. The ending balance of jobs still in process as of February 28 is $92,000.
6. The Cost of Jobs Billed for February is $394,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Budgeted overhead allocation rate = 80% of direct labor costs
Beginning WIP:
Materials $30,000
Direct labor 50,000
Overhead 40,000 ($50,000 * 80%)
Overhead allocated to Job A21 as of February 1 = $40,000 ($50,000 * 80%)
Overhead allocated to Job A24 as of February 28 = $32,000 ($40,000 * 80%)
Total overhead allocated for February = $96,000 ($120,000 * 80%)
Actual overhead costs incurred = $102,000
Therefore, the under-allocated overhead for February = $6,000
The ending balance of jobs still in process as of February 28 (Job A24) =
Materials costs = $20,000
Labor costs = $40,000
Overhead applied = $32,000
Total costs = $92,000
Cost of Jobs Billed:
Beginning WIP: Cost of Job A21 = $120,000 ($30,000 + 50,000 + 40,000)
Costs incurred during the period:
Cost of Direct Materials 150,000
Cost of Direct Labor 120,000
Allocated overhead costs 96,000
Total costs of production = $486,000
Less Ending WIP (Job A24) = 92,000
Cost of Jobs Billed for February $394,000
management accounting is accounting for effective management. Explain this statement.
Explanation:
Management is the process of organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling administrative resources. When we talk about management accounting, we relate to a company's financial resources, which are essential for profitability, payments, investments, etc., that is, so that the business can flow effectively.

Assuming that the balance sheet of BG Land Development is as follows:
Assets Liabilities and Capital
Cash $20,000 Accounts payable $80,000
Non-cash assets 200,000 Mitchell, Loan 10,000
Matthews, capital 50,000
Mitchell, capital 66,000
Michaels, capital 14,000
Total assets $220,000 Total Liab. and capital $220,000
Required:
If partners are to receive the final payment in a lump-sum, when BG Land Development is liquidated, Matthews receives $___, Mitchell receives $____, Michaels receives $____.
Answer:
BG Land Development
If partners are to receive the final payment in a lump-sum, when BG Land Development is liquidated, Matthews receives $_50,000__, Mitchell receives $_66,000___, Michaels receives $__14,000__.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Assets Liabilities and Capital
Cash $20,000 Accounts payable $80,000
Non-cash assets 200,000 Mitchell, Loan 10,000
Matthews, capital 50,000
Mitchell, capital 66,000
Michaels, capital 14,000
Total assets $220,000 Total Liab. and capital $220,000
Totals assets = $220,000
Total liabilities (90,000)
Net assets = $130,000
Partners' capital:
Matthews, capital 50,000
Mitchell, capital 66,000
Michaels, capital 14,000
Total capital = 130,000
b) Each partner is entitled to the ratio of his capital balance or the profit and loss sharing ratio, if any. The net asset is computed by deducting all the liabilities, including one of the partners' loans, from the total value of realizable assets. Ordinarily, partners' loans enjoy priority over capital refund during partnership liquidation.
(a) Explain the quantity theory and
(b) how does the theory explains the cause of inflation
The legal theory of contributory negligence:
a. is in effect in the majority of states throughout the nation.
b. means that, even assuming the defendant is negligent, if the plaintiff is even slightly negligent, the plaintiff recovers nothing.
c. allows the negligent plaintiff to recover if he was responsible for less than 50 percent of his injury.
d. has been criticized as rewarding a plaintiff for being careless.
Answer:
b. means that, even assuming the defendant is negligent, if the plaintiff is even slightly negligent, the plaintiff recovers nothing.
Explanation:
Contributive negligence is a tort in law that allows the defender in a case to completely prevent a plaintiff from getting any recovery in a case.
This occurs if the defender can prove the plaintiff is negligent resulting in their own injury. That is self injury.
On the other hand comparative negligence allows the plaintiff recover a certain percentage in case of negligence that affects himself. For example if plaintiff was 10% negligent then they lose 10% of the amount they were to recover.
So contributory negligence means that, even assuming the defendant is negligent, if the plaintiff is even slightly negligent, the plaintiff recovers nothing.
