Answer:
Yes. companies should try to focus on their core competencies so that they can have more time and resources to focus on delivering on their primary assignment.
Explanation:
An ICT company with a high volume of customer care related activities should consider outsourcing that service.
If their core offering is to deliver on mobile applications, it will prove counterproductive in the nearest future if they spend most of their time trying to solve problems that arise from servicing existing customers.
Outsourcing must be carefully implemented so that it does not backfire. It is critical to ensure that the total direct and indirect cost to the company far outweigh the benefits of retaining such a service internally.

At the beginning of his current tax year, David invests $11,700 in original issue U.S. Treasury bonds with a $10,000 face value that mature in exactly 10 years. David receives $560 in interest ($280 every six months) from the Treasury bonds during the current year, and the yield to maturity on the bonds is 3.6 percent. (Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer: $419.96
Explanation:
Question is:
How much interest income will he report this year if he elects to amortize the bond premium?
The interest for the first period will be:
= Bond price * yield * 6/12 months
= 11,700 * 3.6% * 0.5
= $211
Bond premium amortization:
= Interest received - Interest
= 280 - 211
= $69
Bond value in second half of year:
= Bond value - Bond premium amortization:
= 11,700 - 69
= $11,631
Interest for second period:
= 11,631 * 3.6% * 0.5
= $209.36
Total interest = 210.60 + 209.35
= $419.96

A manufacturing company that has only one product has established the following standards for its variable manufacturing overhead. The company uses machine-hours as its measure of activity.
Standard Hours per Unit of Output 8.1 machine hours
Standard Variable Overhead Rate $14.30 per machine hour
The following data pertain to operations for the last month:
Actual Hours 1,700 machine hours
Actual Total Variable Overhead Cost $24,905
Actual Output 200 units
What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month?
a. $567 favourable.
b. $1,144 unfavourable.
c. $1,172 favourable.
d. $1,172 unfavourable.
Answer:
b. $1,144 unfavourable.
Explanation:
The computation of the variable overhead efficiency variance is shown below:
= (Actual Hours - Standard Hours) × Standard rate per hour
=(1,700 - 8.1 × 200 units) × $14.30
= 80 × $14.30
= $1,144 unfavorable
hence, the variable overhead efficiency variance is $1,144 unfavorable
Therefore the option b is correct
Demand is the relationship between what consumers __ and __ to buy at various prices.
Answer:
willing and able
Explanation:
The demand for a product is the relationship between what consumers are willing and able to buy at the various prices. It is important to note that the ability to pay for the product or service is a key element of the demand definition. According to the law of the demand, the quantity of the product demanded will decrease as the price goes up and vice versa.

A fixed cost: Multiple Choice Is irrelevant for cost-volume-profit and short-term decision making. Changes with changes in the volume of activity within the relevant range. Does not change with changes in the volume of activity within the relevant range. Is directly traceable to a cost object. Requires the future outlay of cash and is relevant for future decision making.
Answer:
Does not change with changes in the volume of activity within the relevant range
Explanation:
The fixed cost is the cost that remains fixed whether the production level is increased or it should remain the fixed. The examples like depreciation expense, rent expense, etc
So it does not change when the volume of activity vary
Therefore the third option is correct
And, the rest of the options are incorrect
Blossom, Inc. began work in 2021 on a contract for $20720000. Other data are as follows: 2021 2022 Costs incurred to date $8880000 $13900000 Estimated costs to complete 5920000 0 Billings to date 6960000 20800000 Collections to date 4960000 17900000 If Blossom uses the percentage-of-completion method, the gross profit to be recognized in 2021 is $3552000. $4000000. $5560000. $5920000.
Answer:
the gross profit using the percentage-of-completion method is $3,552,000
Explanation:
The computation of the gross profit using the percentage-of-completion method is given below
= Contract Value × given percentage - total cost incurred
= $20,720,000 × $8,880,000 ÷ ($8,880,000 + $5,920,000) - $8,880,000
= $12,432,000 - $8,880,000
= $3,552,000
hence, the gross profit using the percentage-of-completion method is $3,552,000
Penny Stock is the chairperson of Pirate Recording Company Inc. She is the person responsible for the tremendous growth this company has enjoyed over the past three years. It was Penny's intuition and clever negotiating that enabled the company to sign two very hot recording artists: Half a Dollar and N'elli. These groups have generated profits of over $25 million. The future looks even brighter at the firm because several current and aspiring entertainers have indicated an interest in signing on with Pirate Recording. This incredible growth has delighted everyone at the company, but it has also created a major problem for Penny. Pirate Recording has never been a major player in the recording industry, primarily because of limited capital. In order to take the company to the next level Penny realizes that she will need to expand the firm's personnel and equipment. The amount of new funds required to finance this needed expansion is $150 million. Penny has started to consult with others about how to finance this major expansion of the company. If stock is issued in Pirate Recording, analysts predict that the company has potential for strong growth. The prospects for dividend payments to stockholders, at least in the beginning, are not good. Pirate Recording will need to retain its earnings in order to grow rapidly. The firm's stock would most likely be classified as a(n):
Answer:
Pirate Recording Company Inc.
The firm's stock would most likely be classified as a(n):
growth stock.
Explanation:
Since Pirate Recording Company's stock is expected to grow rapidly more than the market average, it is regarded as a growth stock. Stockholders expect to make more capital gains by selling the stocks in the future than from collecting dividends. As Pirate Recording is in an expansion mood, with new capital injections of $150 million, it will be retaining its earnings to pursue its growth potential, thus, further exciting potential stockholders.
Mercury Inc. purchased equipment in 2019 at a cost of $169,000. The equipment was expected to produce 300,000 units over the next five years and have a residual value of $49,000. The equipment was sold for $103,800 part way through 2021. Actual production in each year was: 2019 = 42,000 units; 2020 = 67,000 units; 2021 = 34,000 units. Mercury uses units-of-production depreciation, and all depreciation has been recorded through the disposal date. Required: 1. Calculate the gain or loss on the sale. 2. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale. 3. Assuming that the equipment was instead sold for $114,800, calculate the gain or loss on the sale. 4. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale in requirement 3.
Answer:

Credit Sale of Equipment $114,800
To record the receipts from the sale.
Debit Sale of Equipment $111,800
Credit Equipment $111,800
To transfer the account to the Sale of Equipment.
Debit Accumulated Depreciation $57,200
Credit Sale of Equipment $57,200
To transfer the account to sale of equipment.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of equipment = $169,000
Expected production units = 300,000
Estimated useful life = 5 years
Estimated residual value = $49,000
Proceeds from the sale of equipment = $103,000
Depreciable amount = $120,000 ($169,000 - $49,000)
Depreciation expense per unit = $0.40 ($120,000/300,000)
Actual production: Depreciation Expense for the year
2019 = 42,000 units * $0.40 = $16,800
2020 = 67,000 units * $0.40 = $26,800
2021 = 34,000 units * $0.40 = $13,600
Accumulated depreciation = $57,200
Net book value = $111,800 ($169,000 - $57,200)
Loss on sale of equipment = $8,800 ($111,800 - $103,000)
Sale of equipment for $114,800
Gain on sale of equipment = $3,000 ($111,800 - $114,800)

Required:
Using linear regression technique, what would you estimate demand to be for each month next year?
Answer:
First month of next month ( x = 13) = 6170
second month ( x = 14 ) = 6389
Explanation:
Determine the estimate demand for each month next year ( use Linear regression )
Linear regression equation: y = a + bx
a = intercept between regression line and y-axis
b = slope of regression
x = month
y = demand
Using excel table attached below
∑x = 78
∑xy = 413340
∑y = 59360
∑(x)^2 = 650
N = 12
(∑x )^2 = 6084
next we will calculate the slope and intercept value
b ( slope ) = ( 12 * 413340 ) - ( 78 * 59360 ) / ( 12 * 650 - 6084 )
= 330,000 / 1716 = 192.31
intercept ( a ) = 59360 - ( 192.31 * 78 ) / 12 = 3696.65
Back to equation 1 :
Linear regression equation = Y = 3696.65 + 192.31 x
where x = number of month ( i.e. 13 , 14 ….. 24 )
To determine the estimate demand for each month next month
Linear regression equation : Y = 3696.65 + 192.31 x
first month of next month ( x = 13) = 3696.65 + 192.31 * ( 13 )
second month ( x = 14 ) = 3696.65 + 192.31 * ( 14 )
Note : apply same equation to every month ( i.e. from x = 15 to 24 ) to determine the estimate demand for each month
You are given the following information for Huntington Power Co. Assume the company’s tax rate is 40 percent.
Debt:
7,000 6.2 percent coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 15 years to maturity, selling for 105 percent of par; the bonds make semiannual payments.

What is the company's WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)
WACC %
Answer:
WACC= 5.76%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital (WAAC) is the average cost of all the various sources of long-term finance used by a business weighted according to the proportion which each source of finance bears to the the entire pool of fund.
To calculate the weighted average cost of capital, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Calculate the cost of Debt
The yield to maturity to Maturity can be used to work out the cost of debt using the formula below:
YM =( C + F-P/n) ÷ ( 1/2× (F+P))
C- annual coupon,
F- face value ,
P- current price,
n- number of years to maturity
YM - Yield to maturity
C- 6.2%× 1000 =62 , P- 1.05×1000= 1,050, F- 1000
AYM = 62 + (1000-1050)/15 ÷ 1/2× (1000+1050)
= 58.66 ÷ 1025
Yield to maturity =5.7%
Cost of debt= 5.7%
Step 2: Calculate the cost of Equity
Using the CAPM , the cost of equity can be worked out as follows:
E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
E(r) =? , Rf- 4.2%, Rm-8% β- 1.08
E(r) = 4.2% + 1.08×(8-4.2) = 8.3%
Cost of equity= 8.3%
Step 3: Calculate the market value of sources of finance
Market value of equity = 52×340,000= 17,680,000.00
Market value of debt = 7,000×1,000×105 = 735,000,000.00
Step 4: Calculate the WACC
Source cost Market value cost× market value
Equity 8.3% 17,680,000 1,467,440.00
Debt 5.7% 735,000,000 41,895,000.
752,680,000. 43,362,440.
WACC= (43,362,440/ 752,680,000) × 100
= 5.76%
WACC= 5.76%

A 4-year project has an annual operating cash flow of $57,000. At the beginning of the project, $4,800 in net working capital was required, which will be recovered at the end of the project. The firm also spent $23,500 on equipment to start the project. This equipment will have a book value of $5,100 at the end of the project, but can be sold for $6,000. The tax rate is 40 percent. What is the Year 4 cash flow
Answer:
$67,440
Explanation:
Year 4 cash flow = operating cash flow + terminal year cash flow
terminal year cash flow = sales price of the machine + net working capital - tax(sales price - book value)
6000 + 4800 - 0.4(6000 - 5100) = $10,400
Year 4 cash flow = $10,400 + $57,000 = $67,400
Kelso Electric is debating between a leveraged and an unleveraged capital structure. The all equity capital structure would consist of 29,000 shares of stock. The debt and equity option would consist of 17,000 shares of stock plus $220,000 of debt with an interest rate of 6 percent. What is the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options? Ignore taxes.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Break even EBIT is when earnings per share of the two plans are equal as shown below;
EPS in the first plan = EBIT/Number of shares
There are no interest and taxes
EPS in the second plan = EBIT - (Interest rate × Debt) / Number of shares. No taxes
EBIT/29,000 = EBIT - (6% × $220,000)/17,000
EBIT/29,000 = EBIT - $13,200/17,000
Cross multiply
17,000 (EBIT) = 29,000(EBIT - $13,200)
17,000EBIT = 29,000EBIT - $382,800,000
Collect like terms
$382,800,000 = 29,000EBIT - 17,000EBIT
EBIT = $382,800,000/12,000
EBIT = $31,900

Department B had 3,000 units in Work in Process that were 25% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $12,500. 13,700 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $28,700. 15,000 units were completed during the period, and 1,700 units were 95% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $32,450, and factory overhead was $18,710. The number of equivalent units of production for the period for materials if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories was a.13,700
Answer:
Number of equivalent units= 13,700
Explanation:
All materials are added at the beginning of the process.
To calculate the equivalent units using the FIFO method, we need to use the following structure:
Beginning work in process = beginning inventory* %incompleted
Units started and completed = units completed - beginning WIP
Ending work in process completed= Ending WIP* %completed
=Number of equivalent units
Replacing:
Beginning work in process = 3,000*0%= 0
Units started and completed = 15,000 - 3,000= 12,000
Ending work in process completed= 1,700*100%= 1,700
Number of equivalent units= 13,700

Grouper Inc. wishes to accumulate $1,066,000 by December 31, 2030, to retire bonds outstanding. The company deposits $164,000 on December 31, 2020, which will earn interest at 8% compounded quarterly, to help in the retirement of this debt. In addition, the company wants to know how much should be deposited at the end of each quarter for 10 years to ensure that $1,066,000 is available at the end of 2030. (The quarterly deposits will also earn at a rate of 8%, compounded quarterly).
Answer:
Quarterly deposit= $11,653.28
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the future value of the lump sum investment. We need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
n= 10*4= 40 quarters
i= 0.08/4= 0.02
PV= $164,000
FV= 164,000*(1.02^40)
FV= $362,118.51
Now, the total difference to reach the $1,066,000:
Difference= 1,066,000 - 362,118.51= $703,881.49
To calculate the quarterly deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= quarterly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (703,881.49*0.02) / [(1.02^40) - 1]
A= $11,653.28
