Answer:
D) Audited by a certified professional accounting firm.
Explanation:
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded corporations file audited quarterly financial reports and annual audited financial reports. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002) is the law that established the current external auditing rules imposed by the SEC. It also established legal responsibilities for CEOs and CFOs regarding the financial statements. If they fail to meet them or provide false information, they may face criminal charges and end in jail.
When a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, the money supply rises by more than $1. The amount of extra money created when the central bank increases bank reserves by $1 is called the money multiplier.
a. The money multiplier is generally greater than 1 because:
1. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar bill is spent more than once (velocity is larger than 1), thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. in a 100 percent reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves supports exactly one hundred dollars of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by $100.
4. when a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, deposits are automatically increased by $1 as well, thereby increasing the money supply by $2.
The money multiplier is equal to 1 when:
1. reserves < deposits.
2. reserves > deposits.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. The initial money supply is $1,500, of which $700 is currency held by the public. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. Calculate the increase in the money supply associated with increases in bank reserves of $10. What is the money multiplier in this economy? Assume that individuals do not change their currency holdings.
c. A general rule for calculating the money multiplier is:
1. 1/(deposit ratio-desired reserve).
2. 1/deposit ratio.
3. 1/desired reserve.
4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. Suppose the Fed wanted to reduce the money multiplier, perhaps because it believes that change would give it more precise control over the money supply. In order to achieve its goal, the Fed would:
1. decrease the ratio of reserves to deposits.
2. increase reserve requirements.
3. increase the money supply.
4. decrease reserve requirements.
Answer: a. 2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. $900.
Multiplier is 10
c. 4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. 2. increase reserve requirements.
Explanation:
a. In fractional-reserve banking system, $1 of deposits can be used to create more than $1 in money supply as the money is continuously deposited into other bank accounts. This enables the money to keep increasing until it theoretically reaches a certain amount determined by the money Multiplier.
If the money Multiplier is equal to 1 which is a very rare occasion, this means that the amount required in reserves is equal to the deposits. $1 of deposits will yield a $1 in money supply increase.
b. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. For every $1, 0.1 goes to reserves.
If bank reserves have increased by $10 then that means that deposits are,
0.1x = 10
x = $100
Deposits not in reserve are,
= 0.9 * 100
= $90
The money Multiplier can be calculated with the formula,
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
= 1/0.1
= 10
Increase in money supply is therefore,
= $90 * 10
= $900
c. As earlier mentioned, option D is the general rule for calculating the money Multiplier.
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
d. If the Fed increases the reserve requirement, the effect would be a reduction in the money supply because the denominator is now higher.
For instance, reserve requirement of 0.1 vs 0.2.
At 0.1, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.1
= 10
At 0.2, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.2
= 5
The higher the reserve requirement, the lower the Multiplier.
Pablo Management has seven employees, each of whom earns $210 per day. They are paid on Fridays for work completed Monday through Friday of the same week. Near year-end, the seven employees worked Monday, December 31, and Wednesday through Friday, of the same week. The next week, the seven employees worked only four days because New Year's Day was an unpaid Holiday.
Required:
a. Prepare the adjusting entry that would be recorded Monday, December 31, 2013.
b. Prepare the journal entry that would be made to record payment of the employees' wages on Friday, Janyary 4, 2014.
Answer:
a) $1,470 Debit –Wage Expense; $1,470 Credit –Wage Payable.
b) $4,410 Debit –Wage Expense; $1,470 Debit –Wage Payable
Explanation:
Remember, we are told each of the worker earns $210 per day. Therefore
a.To record accrued and current wages.Wages expense = 7 workers × 3 days × $210 = $4,410.
b. To record accrued wages four days Cash = 7 workers × 4 days × $210 = $5,880. For one day (7 workers × $210) = $1,470.

Orange Corporation acquired new office furniture on August 15, 2018, for $130,000. Orange does not elect immediate expensing under § 179. Orange claims any available additional first-year depreciation. If required, round your answer to the nearest dollar.
a. Determine Orange's cost recovery for 2018
The office furniture is classified as a seven-year class of property for MACRS. If bonus depreciation is elected, Orange's deduction is
b. Determine Orange's cost recovery for 2018 if Orange decided to only use $52,000 of bonus depreciation and normal MACRS on the balance of the acquisition cost.
Answer:
Explanation:
a) The asset is purchased in 2018.
In 2018, bonus depreciation % has been increased from 50% to 100%. If bonus depreciation is elected Orange Corporation can deduct 100% of Purchase cost of $130,000.
The office furniture is classified as seven year class of property for MACRs. If bonus depreciation is elected Orange's deduction is $130,000
= $130,000
b) if Orange decides to use only $52,000 of bonus depreciation, it can claim depreciation (MACRS) on balance amount of acquisition cost.
Cost Recovery for 2018:
Bonus depreciation = $52,000
MACRS Depreciation [($130,000 - $52,000) * 14.29%]= $11,146.20
Hence, Cost Recovery for 2018 = Bonus depreciation + MACRS Depreciation
= $52,000 + $11,146.20
= $63,146 (rounded off to nearest dollar)
Adger Corporation is a service company that measures its output based on the number of customers served. The company provided the following fixed and variable cost estimates that it uses for budgeting purposes and the actual results for May as shown below:
Fixed Element Variable Element Actual Total
per Month per Customer Served for May
Revenue $5,000 $160,000
Employee salaries and wages $50,000 $1,100 $88,000
Travel expenses $600 $19,000
Other expenses $36,000 $34,500
When preparing its planning budget, the company estimated that it would serve 30 customers per month; however, during May the company actually served 35 customers.
Required:
1. What amount of revenue would be included in Adger's flexible budget for May?
2. What amount of employee salaries and wages would be included in Adger's flexible budget for May?
3. What amount of travel expenses would be included in Adger's flexible budget for May?
4. What amount of other expenses would be included in Adger's flexible budget for May?
5. What net operating income would appear in Adger's flexible budget for May?
Answer:
1. Total Revenue in May $ 175,000
2. Total Salaries & wages For May $ 88500
3. Total Travel Expenses for May $21,000
4. Other Expense $ 36,000
5. Operating Income $ 65,500
Explanation:
Given
Adger Corporation
Fixed Element Variable Element Actual Total
per Month per Customer Served for May
Revenue $5,000 $160,000
Employee Salaries
& wages $50,000 $1,100 $88,000
Travel expenses $600 $19,000
Other expenses $36,000 $34,500
There were 35 customers.
Revenue = $5000 per customer
We can easily calculate as we have been given the number of customers and the variable element of expense per customer.
1. Total Revenue in May = 5000 * 35= $ 175,000
Variable Salaries & wages = $ 1100 per customer
Total Variable Salaries & wages = $ 1100 *35= $ 38500
2. Total Salaries & wages For May = Variable + Fixed
= $ 38500 + $50,000= $ 88500
Travel expenses = $600per customer
3. Total Travel Expenses for May = $ 600 *35= $21,000
4. Other Expense = Fixed Expenses = $ 36,000 ( there are no variable expenses)
5. Operating Income= Revenue - Employee Salaries - Travel Expenses
= $ 175,000- $ 88500 - $ 21,000= $ 65,500
Other expenses are included in the net income statement not operating income statement.
On January 1, 20X1, Draper Inc. signed a five-year noncancelable lease with Thornhill Company for custom-made equipment. The lease calls for five payments of $161,364.70 to be made at the beginning of each year. The leased asset has a fair value of $900,000 on January 1, 20X1. There is no bargain purchase option, and ownership of the leased asset reverts to Thornhill at the lease end. The leased asset has an expected useful life of six years, and Draper uses straight-line depreciation for financial reporting purposes. Its incremental borrowing rate is 8%. Draper uses a calendar year for financial reporting purposes.
Required:
1. Under U.S GAAP would Draper classify this lease as a capital lease or as an operating lease? Explain.
2. Under IFRS would Draper classify this lease as a capital lease or as an operating lease? Explain.
Answer:
1. Under U.S GAAP the lease will be capital lease
2. Under IFRS it is leased under capital lease method.
Explanation:
1. In order to determine Under U.S GAAP if Draper classify this lease as a capital lease or as an operating lease we would to calculate the lease payable as follows:
lease payable=(Annual Payment*present value after interest and tax)/Fair value
lease payable=($161,364.70*800)/$900,000
lease payable=77.3%
Under U.S GAAP the lease will be capital lease because the lease term is for 5 years was more than 75% of economic life
2. Under IFRS the assets are mostly considered by its economic value, so it is leased under capital lease method.
Annual production and sales level of Product A is 34,300 units, and the annual production and sales level of Product B is 69,550 units. What is the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing?
Answer:
$3.00
Explanation:
Calaculation of the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing:
The first step is to calculate for the Activity 1 allocated to Product A line which is :
$87,000 × 3,000/5,800
=$261,000,000/5,800
=$45,000
The second step is to calaculate for Activity 2 allocated to Product A line which is :
$62,000 × 4,500/10,000
$279,000,000/10,000
=$27,900
The third step is to calculate for Activity 3 allocated to Product A line which is :
$93,000 × 2,500/7,750
=$232,500,000/7,750
=$30,000
The total overhead allocated to Product A
$45,000+$30,000+$27,900
= $102,900
Overhead per unit of Product A: $102,900/Annual production of 34,300 units
= $3.00
Therefore the approximate overhead cost per unit of Product A under activity-based costing will be $3.00

g You want to save sufficient funds to generate an annual cash flow of $50,000 a year for 20 years as retirement income. You currently have no retirement savings but plan to save an equal amount each year for the next 30 years until your retirement. How much do you need to save each year if you can earn 8 percent on the savings? (10 Points)
Answer:
You need to save $4,012.45 each year
Explanation:
Pertiuty in 20 years is $50,000.
So the amount must be in account after 30 years saving to enough for above pertiuty is calculated as below:
= $50000/(1+8%)+ $50000/(1+8%)^2+......+$50000/(1+8%)^20
= $50,000 * Annuity Factor ( 1-20 years) of 8%
=$50000*9.818
= $490,907
To have $490,907 (FV) in account after 30 years (tenor), now you have save an amount each year (PMT) calculated as below:
$490,907 = PMT*(1+8%)^30+....PMT*(1+8%)^2 + PMT*(1+8%)
= PMT * Discount Factor ( 1-30 years) of 8%
$490,907 = PMT * 122.346
-> PMT = $490,907/ 122.346
= $4,012.45

How can economies of scale benefit you as a customer and society as a whole? Can the taxicab industry, in large cities, be subject to significant economies of scale? Are ride-sharing services, such as Uber and Lyft, able to take advantage of economies of scale? How or why not?
Answer:
The answer to this question can be described as follows:
Explanation:
The economy scale with cost activity and total volumes of sales, which lowers the overall product prices as a result, and grows all economies of scale, because consumers purchase the stuff like those, who pay even less than the amount they expect to receive.
It is the transition, the same saved money it's spent on other commodities and the overall deficit as well as the actual boosting of financial social assistance that generates income as a whole. It also increases outlays and creates more jobs, and benefits people with higher median income levels and a decent standard of living, For example
Uber often encourages ride-sharing, in which the car is capable of serving 3-4 people simultaneously. This gives a win-win situation to all sides and generates economies of scale. Throughout the market like India, Uber already is introducing it and being extremely successful.
General Discussion Questions What should business leaders take away from this scandal? What could Wells Fargo have done differently to avert this cultural meltdown? Practice of Ethical Leadership Questions Modeling Character and Values: What values did Stumpf model to Wells Fargo employees? What impact might that have on the culture of Wells Fargo? Encouraging Ethical Conduct: What behaviors can leaders model in order to encourage ethical behavior in their organization? Designing Ethical Systems: Wells Fargo did have some systems in place, like the ethics hotline, to report unethical behavior, but it didn’t work. Why do you think that is? What steps can leaders take to design systems that encourage ethical behavior rather than unethical behavior?
Answer:
From this scandal, business leaders should learn to:
(a) not encourage unethical practices directly or indirectly among employees.
(b) not set unrealistic targets for employees to achieve within an unrealistic time-frame.
(c) Institute measures to prevent unethical practices.
(d) Encourage honest employees to grow in the company.
(e) Honor adherence to regulatory framework as applicable to the company.
Wells Fargo could have done differently in these manner:
(a) When the first incident of aggressive sales practice was reported in year 2004 with identified incidents from year 2002, they could have instituted measures to prevent recurrence of such incidents. Some of the practical and workable measures are enumerated in succeeding paragraphs.
(b) Convene a meeting of senior managers to provide them with appropriate guidelines so as not to repeat such incidents.
(c) Instruct senior managers to advise their juniors to refrain from any such aggressive sales practices.
(d) Investigate to determine the extent of impact of aggressive sales practices as on 2004 and take remedial actions against those who are engaged in such activities.
(e) Promote the whistle-blower method of instantaneous reporting of an incident by anyone who has witnessed such an incident.
(f) Reward employees having honesty, integrity and moral values.
Practice of Ethical Leadership Questions
CEO John Stumpf’s model was to aggressively cross-sell products by any means. While leading the bank in doing so, he had compromised on the minimum value system that any financial institution or any company must adhere to. The cultural impact that had on Wells Fargo is listed below:
(a) Employees were pressurized for resorting to unethical practices.
(b) Employees reporting matters on unethical practices were punished.
(c) The performance management/ measurement system, in effect, encouraged dishonesty in employees.
(d) The compensation system was skewed in favor of bonus.
(e) Since, the supervisors pressurized employees, the structural dishonesty within the organization was evident.
Leaders can encourage ethical behavior in their organization in the following manner:
(a) Demonstrate personal ethics in their words and actions.
(b) Instruct senior managers to strictly adhere to the ethical norms to be followed.
(c) Instruct senior managers to communicate company’s ethical agenda to the supervisors/ other junior employees within their departments/ sections.(d) Monitor adherence to / violation of ethical practices on a regular basis.(e) Institute immediate remedial measures to prevent recurrence of any unethical practice.
(f) Encourage employees to report incidents of unethical practices.
(g) Reward honest and hardworking employees.
Well Fargo’s system of ensuring Ethical System within the bank, such as ethics hotline to report unethical behavior did not work because, the top management, led by the CEO did not pay any importance to prevention of unethical practices. Rather, they steered in an organized and structured manner to promote unethical practices.
Leaders can take the following steps to design systems that encourage ethical behavior:
(a) The top leaders must “think ethics”, “speak ethics” and “act ethics”. This is the top most fundamental step in the direction of designing systems to encourage ethical behavior.
(b) Matters on “what is ethical and what is not ethical” must be circulated across the organization.
(c) Periodic briefing must take place from the top management to the junior most employees in a structured and organized manner.
(d) Encouragement on reporting (whistle-blowing) incidents of unethical practices must be given.
(e) System of rewarding honest and hardworking employees must be put in place.
Suppose that there is a French shipbuilder that imports American made aluminum for parts in its ships. The French shipbuilder needs to purchase aluminum from the American producer for $100,000. Question: At the equilibrium exchange rate, how much does it cost to purchase $100,000 worth of aluminum from the American producer
Answer:
€67,000
Explanation:
The computation o the cost is shown below:
But before that first we have to determine the exchange rate at which the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplies
As we can see that from the table $1.5 per euro exchange rate, the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplied
That means € 1 = $ 1.5
So,
$1 = € 1 ÷ 1.5
So,
Euro exchange rate = €0.67 per dollar
Now
Worth of exchange is
= $100,000 × € 0.67 per dollar
= €67,000
g A stock will issue a dividend of $20 one year from today. Dividends will shrink by 3% per year for the next two years after that, and then remain constant forever. Find the current price of one share of this stock, given an effective annual rate of 6%.
Answer:
Current price = $341.943
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
PV dividend in year 1 = 20 × 1.03^(-1)= 19.41747573
PV of dividend in year 2 = 97%× 20 × 1,03^(-2)= 18.28636064
PV of dividend in year 3 = 97%× 97%× 20× 1.03^(-3) = 17.22113575
PV of dividend from year 4 and beyond
This will be done in two steps
PV (in year 3 terms
(97%× 97%× 20× 1.03^(-3))/0.06 =313.6333333
PV in year o terms
PV = A/r
A= 313.63, r = 6%
313.63× 1.03^(-3)= 287.0189291
Price of stock = 19.41 +18.28 + 17.221 + 17.221= 341.943
Current price = $341.943
Tim, who is subject to a 35 percent marginal gift tax rate, made a gift of a painting to Ben, valuing the property at $7,000. The IRS later valued the gift at $15,000. Compute the applicable undervaluation penalty.
Answer:
The undervaluation penalty is $560
Explanation:
Solution
Under valuation penalty applied when a person valued assets understated to save tax.
The undervaluation reduces the tax and hence comes with accuracy related penalty.
From the example, Tim undervalued the gift of $7,000 which is valued at $15,000 by IRS.
The deduction is undervalued for more than 150% and hence penalty is assessed. this is so because the income tax valuation is lower than 40%, so the penalty rate is 20%
Thus,
The calculation of overvaluation penalty is given below:
Undervaluation = $8000
Tax rate = 35%
Tax amount = $2,800
Penalty rate = 20%
Penalty on undervaluation is =$560
Therefore, the undervaluation penalty is $560

How much of this gain is treated as capital gain, and how much is ordinary
Answer:
$4,000 is treated as a capital gain and then reduced by the un-offset net losses in 2016 ($300) and 2017 ($100) to arrive at net capital gain of $3,600 ($4,000 - 300 - 100). $0 of the amount is treated as an ordinary income.
Explanation:
Section 1231 gain arises when an asset (real property or depreciable business property) is sold for more than its current tax basis. The gain is regarded as a capital gain and taxed at the lower capital gain rates and not as ordinary income.
Section 1231 property are assets used in trade or business and held by the Taxpayer for more than one year. A gain on the sale of Section 1231 business property is treated as a long-term capital gain.
Juanita is deciding whether to buy a skirt that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same skirt, but it is more convenient for Juanita to get to some stores than others. For example, she can go to her local store, located 15 minutes away from where she works, and pay a marked-up price of $103 for the skirt:
Determining opportunity cost Juanita is decidin

Assume that Juanita takes opportunity costs and the price of the skirt into consideration when she shops. Juanita will minimize the cost of the skirt if she buys it from the:_________.
Answer:
Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest.
Explanation:
three options:
local store 15 minutes away and a price of $103across town 30 minutes away and a price of $89neighboring city 1 hour away and a price of $63Juanita makes $16 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:
total economic cost:
local store = $103 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $111across town = $89 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $105neighboring city = $63 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $95Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest ($105)
Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.
Consider two countries, Alpha and Beta. In Alpha, real GDP per capita is $6,000. In Beta, real GDP per capita is $9,000. Based on the economic growth model, what would you predict about the growth rates in real GDP per capita across these two countries
Answer:
The growth rate of real GDP per capita will be higher in Alpha than it is in Beta
Explanation:
If we are to based on the economic growth model, what I would predict about the growth rates in real GDP per capita across ALPA and BETA is that when both countries are been compared with one another The growth rate of real GDP per capita will be higher in Alpha than it is in Beta because the Alpha real GDP per capita is said to be $6,000 while Beta real GDP per capita is said to be $9,000 which means growth rate of real GDP per capita will be much more higher in Alpha than it is in Beta.

Find the mean, median and mode for the above set of data
Answer:
a. Mean = 35.2 ≈ 35
b. Median = 35.6 ≈ 36
c. Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37
Step-by-step Explanation:
==>Given:
Class of ages in yrs
No. of cases of each class = f
Midpoint of each class = x
Product of midpoint and no. of cases of each class = fx
==>Required:
a. Mean
b. Median
c. Mode
==>SOLUTION:
a. Mean = (Σfx)/Σf
Σf = sum of no. of cases = 5+10+20+22+13+5 = 75
Σfx = 47.5+195+590+869+643.5+297.5 = 2,642.5
Mean = 2,642.5/75 = 35.2 ≈ 35
b. Median = Lm + [((Σf/2) - Cfb)/fm]Cw
Our median is between the 37th and the 38th term, which can be found in the class interval 35-44. This is our median class.
Lm = Lower class boundary of the median class = lower limit of the Medina class + upper limit of the class before the median class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5
Σf/2 = 75/2 = 37.5
Cfb = Cumulative frequency of class before the median class = 5+10+20 = 35
fm = frequency of the Medina class = 22
Cw = Class width = upper class boundary - lower class boundary = 44.5-34.5 = 10
Median = 34.5 + [(37.5-35)/22] × 10
= 34.5 + [2.5/22] × 10
= 34.5 + [25/22]
= 34.5 + 1.1
= 35.6 ≈ 36
c. Mode = Lm + [∆¹/(∆¹+∆²)]Cw
Modal class = (35-44) [i.e. the class with the highest frequency, which is where our mode falls in]
Lm = lower class boundary of the modal class = lower limit of the modal class + upper limit of the class before the modal class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5
∆¹ = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class before the modal class = 22 - 20 = 2
∆² = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class after the modal class = 22 - 13 = 9
Cw == Upper class boundary - Lower class boundary = 44.5 - 34.5 = 10
Mode = 34.5 + [2/(2+9)] × 10
= 34.5 + [2/11] × 10
= 34.5 + [20/11]
= 34.5 + 1.8
Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37

Answer:
$14.9217.1%3.6%4.7$67Explanation:
1. Earnings per share = net income / average shares outstanding = $193,900 / 13,000 stocks = $14.92
2. Dividend payout ratio = total dividends / net income = ($2.55 x 13,000) / $193,900 = $33,150 / $193,900 = 17.1%
3. Dividend yield ratio = dividend per share / market price per share = $2.55 / $70 = 3.6%
4. Price-earnings ratio = price per share / earnings per share = $70 / $14.92 = 4.7
5. Book value per share = (stockholders' equity - preferred stocks) / total number of stocks outstanding = $871,000 / 13,000 = $67
