Answer:
1. Ben must return the baseball to the owner immediately as it is not an object of great value.
Explanation:
The owner of the baseball is still the rightful owner because he was the one who purchased the item. He does not lose ownership of the baseball simply because it landed on Ben's apartment.
Ben has not right to claim ownership of the baseball, and he must return it to the owner immediately.
"Addison Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The equipment will have an initial cost of $522,000, a 3 year life, and no salvage value. If the accounting rate of return for the project is 6%, what is the annual increase in net cash flow
Answer:
$31,320.00
Explanation:
The formula for accounting rate of return is the annual net cash flow divided by the initial investment.
If the initial investment was $522,000 and the accounting rate of return is computed to be 6% per year, hence the annual increase in cash flow accruing from the investment can be calculated by changing the subject of the formula.
ARR=annual increase in cash flow/initial investment
ARR is 6%
initial investment is $522,000
annual increase in cash flow?
6%=annual increase in cash flow/$522,000
annual increase in cash flow=6%*$522,000= $31,320.00
A firm's bonds have a maturity of 14 years with a $1,000 face value, have an 8% semiannual coupon, are callable in 7 years at $1,073.00, and currently sell at a price of $1,135.93. What are their nominal yield to maturity and their nominal yield to call? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
YTM = 6.51%
YTC = 6.40%
Explanation:
We need to solve using excel goal seek or bond formulas to generate the yield (interest rate) which matches the future couponb and maturity payment with the current selling price of the bond:
Present value of the coupon
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 40.000 (1,000 x 8% / 2 payment per year)
time 28 (14 years x 2 payment per year)
rate 0.032529972 (generate using goal seek tool)
[tex]40 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0325299719911398)^{-28} }{0.0325299719911398} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $727.8688
Pv of the maturity (lump sum)
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,000.00
time 28.00
rate 0.032529972
[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0325299719911398)^{28} } = PV[/tex]
PV 408.06
PV c $727.8688
PV m $408.0612
Total $1,135.9300
As this is a semiannual rate we multiply it by 2
0.032529972 x 2 = 0.065059944 = 6.51%
We repeat the procedure with changing the time and end-value to adjust for the callabe conditions:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 40.000
time 14 (7 years x 2 payment per year)
rate 0.032015131
[tex]40 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0320151313225188)^{-14} }{0.0320151313225188} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $445.6984
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,073.00 (call price)
time 14.00
rate 0.032015131
[tex]\frac{1073}{(1 + 0.0320151313225188)^{14} } = PV[/tex]
PV 690.23
PV c $445.6984
PV m $690.2316
Total $1,135.9300
Againg his will be a semiannual rate so we multiply by two:
0.032015131 x 2 = 0.064030263 = 6.40%
"ART Company just paid a dividend of $2.00. The dividend is expected to grow by 10% this year, 9% in year two and 6% in year three. Then, beginning in year four, the dividend will begin growing at a constant rate of 4%. With a required return of 10%, what is the stock worth today
Answer:
The stock is worth $38.99 per share today
Explanation:
We can calculate the value of the stock using the dividend discount model approach (DDM). The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the price of the stock today, we simply discount back all the future expected dividends and terminal value (calculated when the growth rate in dividends become constant) to their present value using the required rate of return as the discount factor.
The value of ART company's stock today will be,
P0 or V0 = 2 * (1+0.1) / (1+0.1) + 2 * (1+0.1)*(1+0.09) / (1+0.1)^2 +
2 * (1+0.1)*(1+0.09)*(1+0.06) / (1+0.1)^3 +
[( 2 * (1+0.1)*(1+0.09)*(1+0.06)*(1+0.04)) / (0.1 - 0.04)] / (1+0.1)^3
P0 or V0 = $38.9939 rounded off to $38.99
Kerbow Corporation uses part B76 in one of its products. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the 12,000 units of the part that are needed every year. An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $27.40 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the outside supplier's offer were accepted, only $6,000 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided. In addition, the space used to produce part B76 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $29,000 per year for that product.A. Prepare a report that shows the effect on the company's total net operating income of buying part B76 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company.B. Identify which alternative the company should choose and explain why.C. Determine what errors managers may make when considering make or buy decisions and basing the decision solely on the data?
Answer:
12,000 units
outside supplier offers at $27.40 each = $328,800
current relevant costs:
direct materials $7.20 x 12,000 = $86,400direct labor $7.10 x 12,000 = $85,200variable overhead $3.50 x 12,000 = $42,000 supervisor's salary $4.70 x 12,000 = $56,400total = $270,000only $6,000 of allocated fixed costs can be avoided
additional revenue from using the freed space $29,000
A. Prepare a report that shows the effect on the company's total net operating income of buying part B76 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company.
Keep Buy Differential
producing from vendor amount
production cost $270,000 $0 $270,000
purchase cost $0 $328,800 ($328,800)
avoidable costs $0 ($6,000) $6,000
additional revenue $0 ($29,000) $29,000
total $270,000 $293,800 ($23,800)
B. Identify which alternative the company should choose and explain why.
The company should keep producing the part because production costs are lower than buying it from an outside vendor.
C. Determine what errors managers may make when considering make or buy decisions and basing the decision solely on the data?
If we had made this decision based on total production costs, then management would have erroneously chosen to purchase the part from an outside vendor. Total production costs are $28.30 per unit, but almost $5.80 per unit are not avoidable (mostly fixed and general overhead), so the company will incur them no matter what. You have to compare only relevant costs or revenues.

Mark is creating Nu2U, a Web site through which he will enter into contracts over the Internet. In his standard online contract, he includes a provision which states "Any disputes under this contract will be resolved under the laws of the State of Texas." This is an example of a
Answer: Choice of Law Clause
Explanation:
The Choice of Law Clause allows parties in a contract to pick a territory's laws as the laws that the contract between them will be applicable to.
This way uncertainty can be avoided when any of the parties seeks legal redress for any perceived breach of contract.
It is worthy of note that parties do not even need to be from the Territory whose laws have been chosen and this is why some parties look for Territories who have laws that will be favourable to them. This is why most big Corporations pick Delaware law because their laws are perceived to be pro big business.
Dragon Sports Inc. manufactures and sells two products, baseball bats and baseball gloves. The fixed costs are $254,800, and the sales mix is 40% bats and 60% gloves. The unit selling price and the unit variable cost for each product are as follows: Products Unit Selling Price Unit Variable Cost Bats $40 $30 Gloves 100 60 a. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the overall enterprise product, E. units b. How many units of each product, baseball bats and baseball gloves, would be sold at the break-even point
Answer:
a)Break-even sales in units= 9,100 units
b)The number of units of each products:
Bat= 3,640 units
Gloves= 5,460 units
Explanation:
The break-even sales in unit = total general fixed cost/Average contribution per unit
Average contribution per unit = (40%× (40-30) )+ (60%×(100-60) )=28
Break-even Sales = $254,800/$28=9100 units
Break-even sales in units= 9,100 units
The number of units of each products:
Bat = 40%×9100 =3,640 units
Gloves = 60%× 9,100 =5,460 units
Bat= 3,640 units
Gloves= 5,460 units

A company purchased 10 units for $5 on January 3. It purchased 10 units for $7 each on February 28. It sold 10 units on March 1. If the company uses the last in, first out (LIFO) inventory costing method, what is the dollar amount for ending inventory on the December 31 balance sheet, assuming that the company uses a perpetual inventory system
Answer:
The dollar amount for ending inventory using the last-in-first-out method of inventory valuation is $50
Explanation:
Using LIFO,last-in-first-out method of inventory valuation,items received last into the store are deemed to be sold first, hence the sales of 10 units on March 1 was the inventory purchased on February 28, leaving the items of inventory purchased on January 3 as closing inventory
value of closing inventory using LIFO=10*$5=$50

Explanation:
a.
The issuance of common stock against cash will increase the cash and the capital. So cash will be debited and capital (common stock) will be credited.
b.
The issuance of notes payable against cash increases liability and asset. The asset increase in cash will be debited and liability increase in notes payable will be credited.
c.
The purchase of equipment on account will increase liability and asset. The asset increase in form of equipment will be debited and the liability increase in form of accounts payable will be credited.
d.
The purchase of land will increase land and result in a debit to the land account. It is purchased for cash and a liability of notes payable. So both cash and the notes payable account will be credited as cash decreases (asset decrease in credited) and liability increases (liability increase is credited).
e.
The purchase of equipment will increase equipment account and result in a debit to the equipment account. It is purchased for cash and a liability of accounts payable. So both cash and the accounts payable account will be credited as cash decreases (asset decrease in credited) and liability increases (liability increase is credited).

Trademark dilution laws: Select one: a. protect "distinctive" or "famous" marks from unauthorized uses even when confusion is not likely to occur. b. are intended at protecting consumers rather than focusing on protecting the investment of trademark owners. c. permit a company to quickly penetrate a foreign market without incurring the substantial financial and legal risks associated with direct investment. d. require the licensee to transfer any inventions it derives from the licensed technology to the licensor.
Answer:
a. protect "distinctive" or "famous" marks from unauthorized uses even when confusion is not likely to occur.
Explanation:
Trademark dilution laws are rules and regulations that seek to protect the trademarks of well known brands from unauthorized use by other brands, in such a way that the distinctive attribute of the trademark is minimized. Trademark dilution laws are meant to ensure that the main purpose for which a product's trademark is known is meant to stand out significantly in the mind of consumers.
Smaller companies might want to copy the trademark of famous brands for their products which might be different. These laws seek to prevent this act even if it may not cause confusion in the minds of consumers as to which brand owns a product.
What are some examples of potential intangible benefits of investment proposals? Why do these intangible benefits complicate the capital budgeting evaluation process? What might happen if intangible benefits are ignored in a capital budgeting decision?
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
An intangible benefit is a subjective benefit that one can't actually touch, and is also difficult to measure in terms of dollar.
Examples of potential intangible benefits of investment proposals will be the improved safety, increased product quality, and an enhanced employee loyalty.
Intangible benefits complicate capital budgeting evaluation process due to the fact that they can't be easily measured, hence, their value can be hard to quantify.
When intangible benefits are ignored in a capital budgeting decision, it
may result in rejecting of projects that may have financial benefits to the company.

Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
The explanation has been attached.
It should be noted that:
Income tax expense = $448,000 × 29%
= $448,000 × 29/100
= $448,000 × 0.29
= $129,920
Other comprehensive income will be the unrealized holding gain on the security which will be:
= $89,000 × (100% - 29%)
= $89,000 × 71%
= $89,000 × 0.71
= $63,190

The cost of new equity (re) could possibly be lower than the cost of retained earnings (rs) if the market risk premium, risk-free rate, and the company's beta all decline by a sufficiently large amount.b. The component cost of preferred stock is expressed as rp(1 - T), because preferred stock dividends are treated as fixed charges, similar to the treatment of interest on debt.c. Its cost of retained earnings is the rate of return shareholders require on a firm's common stock.d. We should use historical measures of the component costs from prior financing when estimating a company's WACC for capital budgeting purposes.
Answer:
c. Its cost of retained earnings is the rate of return shareholders require on a firm's common stock.
Explanation:
The formula to compute the cost of retained earning is as follows
Cost of retained earning = (Expected annual dividend ÷ Price of the stock) + growth rate
It is the rate of return that equates with the cost of equity plus it also earns on the investment done in the company i.e equity
In a mathematical expression,
Cost of retained earnings = Cost of equity
hence, the correct option is c.

(Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)
Answer:
1. Overhead cost per unit for Model 145 is $515.59, and overhead cost per unit for Model 212 is $265.12.
2.Total cost per unit for Model 145 is $765.59, and total cost per unit for Model 212 is $445.12.
3. Profit per unit for Model 145 is $54.41, while profit per unit for Model 212 is $34.88.
Explanation:
1. Using ABC, compute the overhead cost per unit for each product line. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)
Note: See the attached excel file for the computation.
2. Determine the total cost per unit for each product line if the direct labor and direct materials costs per unit are $250 for Model 145 and $180 for Model 212. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)
Total cost per unit for each model = Overhead cost per unit + direct labor and direct materials costs per unit.
Therefore, we have:
Total cost per unit for Model 145 = $515.59 + $250 = $765.59
Total cost per unit for Model 212 = $265.12 + $180 = $445.12
3. Assume if the market price for Model 145 is $820 and the market price for Model 212 is $480, determine the profit or loss per unit for each model. (Round your final answers to 2 decimals places.)
Profit or loss per unit for each model = Market price per unit - Total cost per unit.
Therefore, we have:
Profit or loss per unit for Model 145 = $820 - $765.59 = $54.41 profit
Profit or loss per unit for Model 212 = $480 - 445.12 = $34.88 profit

We simply added the variable manufacturing cost and the Fixed manufacturing cost so that the total budgeted manufacturing cost could come and the same is to be considered
Jasper and Crewella Dahvill were married in year 0. They filed joint tax returns in years 1 and 2. In year 3, their relationship was strained and Jasper insisted on filing a separate tax return. In year 4, the couple divorced. Both Jasper and Crewella filed single tax returns in year 4. In year 5, the IRS audited the couple’s joint year 2 tax return and each spouse’s separate year 3 tax returns. The IRS determined that the year 2 joint return and Crewella’s separate year 3 tax return understated Crewella’s self-employment income, causing the joint return year 2 tax liability to be understated by $12,700 and Crewella’s year 3 separate return tax liability to be understated by $7,350. The IRS also assessed penalties and interest on both of these tax returns. Try as it might, the IRS has not been able to locate Crewella, but they have been able to find Jasper. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.)
a. What amount of tax can the IRS require Jasper to pay for the Dahvill’s year 2 joint return?
Amount of Tax:__________________
b. What amount of tax can the IRS require Jasper to pay for Crewella’s year 3 separate tax return?
Amount of Tax:__________________
Answer: a. $12,700
b. $0
Explanation:
a. As Jasper and Crewella Dahvill filed joint tax returns in Year 2, both of them are joint and severally liable for any errors that may arise in the filing. The IRS could not find Crewella but they could find Jasper and as he is liable as well, he will have to pay the full amount that Crewella understated their tax liability by.
b. In year 3, Jasper and Crewella Dahvill had a strained relationship and filed their returns separately. As a result Jasper is not liable for any errors that will arise from Crewella's tax returns filing including the understatement of tax liability.
Revising for Conciseness - Rejecting Redundancies and PurgingEmpty Words
Concise writing will save your reader time and make your message easier to understand. During phase three of the 3-x-3 writing process, revise for conciseness by rejecting redundancies and purging empty words.
Which of the following options are redundancies?
1) Adequate enough
2) Combined together
3) Big in size
4) Absolutely essential
Determine which empty words can be purged from the following sentence to make it more concise.
Answer: A. 1) Adequate enough
2) Combined together
3) Big in size
4) Absolutely essential
b. 3) “That was unfinished”
Explanation:
A. Redundancies in phrases refer to the repetition of words with the same or similar meanings which gives off the impression of saying the same things twice. All the options listed are therefore redundancies.
By saying something is Adequate which means that it is sufficient for something one does not again need to include enough because it is the same as sufficient as well.
By also saying Combined, one has already inferred that something was brought together. Including together again is redundant because the together is already in the definition of combined.
Big in size is another redundancy because when a person describes something as Big, they are already referring to the size of the thing in question. Adding in size is therefore not needed.
Finally, the Absolutely in the phrase makes the phrase redundant. When something is said to be essential it means that it is absolutely needed or crucial. To say something is Absolutely Essentially is like saying something is an Essential Essential.
B. The Johnson report had already been said to contain incomplete data. To go on to say that the data is Unfinished is a redundancy because by saying that it is incomplete it means that the data is by definition Unfinished. Removing the “That was unfinished” bit fixes the sentence.
Your boss stops by to see how the research is progressing. She's concerned about your research plan. "I don't think we are ready to run causal research on the effects of advertising. I think we should re-evaluate the descriptive research options." Which option should you choose now?Select an option from the choices below and click Submit.1- Research the attitudes that men under 35 have towards eSports.2- Research the attitudes that U.S. women and consumers over 35 have towards the eSports industry.
Answer: Research the attitudes that U.S. women and consumers over 35 have towards the eSports industry.
Explanation:
From the question, the boss is concerned about the research plan and says that he does not believe that we are ready to run causal research on the effects of advertising and further said we should re-evaluate the descriptive research options.
Based on the scenario above, I'll choose to research the attitudes that U.S. women and consumers over 35 have towards the eSports industry. By choosing this option, I'll have a large sample size to carry out the descriptive research.
It should also be noted that the descriptive method consist of qualitative natural survey and also the cross sectional research. By researching the attitude of women and consumers, this will give us the opportunity to utilize the cross sectional research. Therefore, the second option is the correct answer.

Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. CBC paid freight charges of $9,400. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $2,100 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $309,000. CBC uses a perpetual inventory system. Assuming CBC uses the gross method to record purchases, ending inventory would be:
Answer:
$39,053
Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory is shown below:
Beginning inventory $52,600
Add: Inventory purchased $297,000
Add: Freight in $9,400
Less: Merchandise returned -$2,100
Less: Discounts -$8,847 ($297,000 - $2,100) × 3%
Less: Cost of goods sold -$309,000
Ending inventory $39,053
Hence, the ending inventory using the gross method is $39,053
1. If you and your BSG team decided to explore the possibility of diversification beyond the athletic shoe market, what factors would you consider to be positive factors in selecting a diversification target and why; i.e. what positive elements would you be looking for in making your decision? 2. What factors would discourage you from pursuing a diversification strategy with another firm and why?
Answer: provided in the explanation section
Explanation:
The process of diversification has to do with connecting to new business opportunity with the existing business. This business startegy helps the company to enter a new area of the market in which it is not currently working. The risk associated with it can or may not provide extraordinary benefits.
In these cases, there are positive factors that encourage diversification-
Other companies will handle the losses in the current company.
Unpleasant surprises can be offset by market diversification.
The resources used under these can be used in sports shoe styling in game simulation companies such as background designers, creative team and so on.
The customer base would be more like that, thereby reducing the attempt of the company to shape a whole new customer base.
If the gaming business starts to decline at any time, all its resources can be used in this new business.
There are always, however, factors which prevent such diversifications.
This can restrict business growth opportunities in the gaming sector as new companies can get investment that is needed to be more competitive.
More new skilled employees, equipment and resources will be needed as the production requires a whole new set of know-how and equipment.
A poorly managed diversification will cause existing businesses to suffer.
As this is a broad horizontal diversification, they can not respond with the same speed to market changes.

In the question we see two broad categories:
Foods;CargoAnd there, you have under each broad group, sub-categories using the brand Uber.
Real-life examples of successful umbrella brands are:
Apple (iPhone, iMac, iPod etc)AdidasPokémon etc.The advantage of Umbrella Branding as a business strategy is that the cost required to launch a product under a different brand is significantly avoided if the new product is affixed with the existing brand.
If however, the company fails to get it right, by enveloping a different line of product in the existing brand, it may water down the brand and also confuse customers.

Which of the following statements concerning the selection of risk management techniques and insurance market conditions is (are) true? I.It's easier to purchase affordable insurance during a "soft" market than during a "hard" market.II.Retention is used more during a "soft" market than during a "hard" market.I onlyII onlyboth I and IIneither I nor II
Answer:
I.It's easier to purchase affordable insurance during a "soft" market than during a "hard" market
I only
Explanation:
When a purchaser of insurance wants to make a purchase he analyses the market to get a favourable condition that reduces risk and loss.
The market condition can be a soft market or hard market.
Soft market is one in which potential sellers are more than potential buyers. So supply exceeds demand. Buyers are able to buy affordable insurance.
Hard market on the other hand is when there is an upswing in market cycle. Premiums increase and capacity for insurance decreases.
It is more difficult to get affordable insurance in this market
Which of the following statements is NOT CORRECT? a. Accruals are "free" in the sense that no explicit interest is paid on these funds. b. A conservative approach to working capital management will result in most, if not all, permanent current operating assets being financed with long-term capital. c. Bank loans generally carry a higher interest rate than commercial paper. d. Commercial paper can be issued by virtually any firm so long as it is willing to pay the going interest rate. e. The risk to a firm that borrows with short-term credit is usually greater than if it borrowed using long-term debt. This added risk stems from the greater variability of interest costs on short-term debt and possible difficulties with rolling over short-term debt.
Answer: d. Commercial paper can be issued by virtually any firm so long as it is willing to pay the going interest rate.
Explanation:
Commercial Paper refers to a short term debt instrument that large Corporations and banks can issue to enable them pay off short term obligations.
While Commercial Paper does not need to be registered with the SEC if it falls under a period of 9 months for it to mature, it is not for every institution.
Only large Institutions and Banks can afford to issue commercial Paper due to risk concerns and so not all firms can issue Commercial Paper.
