From the question, we are told that Elbert uses FedEx in a scheme to defraud Global Sales Company by obtaining merchandise to which he is not entitled. The punishment for mail fraud in this case will be imprisonment for up to twenty years and/or fines.
None of the options given in the question is the right answer.
Answer:
a. imprisonment for up to five years and fines of up to $1,000
Explanation:
Mail fraud occurs when an entity decides to defraud another person by taking wrongful ownership of property that is not theirs. This is done by use of mails, by phone, or online.
For example if a person convinces another under false pretense to transfer funds using a post office, it is categorised as mail fraud. If it occurs accross state lines the Federal Government can take jurisdiction of the case.
This type of fraud attracts imprisonment for up to five years and fines of up to $1,000
Cutter Enterprises purchased equipment for $54,000 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a five-year life and a residual value of $8,400. Using the double-declining-balance method, depreciation for 2021 and the book value at December 31, 2021, would be:_______
Answer:Book value at December 31, 2021 =$32,400
Explanation:
using double declining balance method
Depreciation expense = 2×Straight-line depreciation percent ×Book value
Given value of machine = $54,000
Residual value = $8,400
Expected life = 5 years
But
straight line depreciation percent = 100% /5years = 20%
Depreciation expense = 2×Straight-line depreciation percent ×Book value
= 2*20% x$54,000 = 40% x $54,000=$21,600
or
Depreciation expense by double declining = depreciation rate x cost of equipment
but depreciation rate = 1/estimated useful life x 2= 1/5 x 2= 2/5 x100% =40%
= 40% x $54,000= $21,600
Book value at December 31, 2021, = Purchase cost - depreciation expense
=$54,000 - $21,600=$32,400

Explanation:
Pine Street Inc. makes unfinished bookcases that it sells for $58.51. Production costs are $37.56 variable and $9.67 fixed. Because it has unused capacity, Pine Street is considering finishing the bookcases and selling them for $70.45. Variable finishing costs are expected to be $8.41 per unit with no increase in fixed costs. Prepare an analysis on a per unit basis showing whether Pine Street should sell unfinished or finished bookcases. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25. Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
Answer:
The book case should be processed further

D0 is currently $3.00, Ke is 8 percent, and g is 5 percent. Under Plan A, D0 would be immediately increased to $3.40 and Ke and g will remain unchanged. Under Plan B, D0 will remain at $3.00 but g will go up to 6 percent and Ke will remain unchanged. a. Compute P0 (price of the stock today) under Plan A. Note D1 will be equal to D0 × (1 + g) or $3.40 (1.05). Ke will equal 8 percent, and g will equal 5 percent. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a.
P0 = 3.4 * (1+0.05) / (0.08 - 0.05)
P0 = $119
Explanation:
Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
Do is dividend today g is the growth rate r is the required rate of returna.
P0 = 3.4 * (1+0.05) / (0.08 - 0.05)
P0 = $119

The correct answers to this question are B, E, and F and they are also
answers 2, 5, and 6.
Based on the information given, the correct options will be:
If Mo pays in cash, the cost of the purchase will be $140. If Mo uses the credit card and pays off the balance at $20 a month for 7 months with no late fees, the cost of the purchase will be $139.89. If Mo uses the credit card and pays the full balance during the billing cycle, the cost of the purchase will be $135.80.It should be noted that when she pays in cash, she'll have to pay $140. In a situation whereby she uses the credit card, she'll be given a discount of 3%. Therefore, the amount that she'll have to pay will be:
= $140 - (3% × $140)
= $140 - (0.03 × $140)
= $140 - $4.20
= $135.80.
In conclusion, the correct options are B, E, and F.

Purchase price to acquire Mesa Herald Market value of Mesa Herald's assets Less: Market value of Mesa Herald's liabilities Less: Market value of Mesa Herald's net assets
Full question attached
Answer and Explanation:
A. Given that Thrifty Nickels Assets fair value and liabilities are given by $100000 and $70000 respectively(we do not use the book value in calculating goodwill here) and Acquisition value is $230000
Goodwill = purchase price -net assets
Since we know purchase price =$230000
We calculate net assets= total assets -total liabilities
Total assets =$100000
Total liabilities =$70000
Net assets=$100000-$70000=$30000
We substitute in goodwill formula
Goodwill=$230000-$30000=$200000
Therefore goodwill =$200000
B. We journalize entries for the acquisition in Deca's books as follows :
Debit Assets $100000
Debit Goodwill $200000
Credit liabilities $70000
Credit cash $230000
We debit assets since it received and increased by $100000,we debit goodwill since it also received and increased by $200000. We credit liabilities since it also increased by $70000 from the acquisition (liabilities accounts are credited). Cash was spent and therefore is credited since it reduced by $230000
At the end of the year, a company has a $1,200 debit balance in Manufacturing Overhead. As a result, the company:a.makes an adjusting journal entry by debiting Manufacturing Overhead for $1,200 and crediting Manufacturing Overhead for $1,200. b.makes no adjusting journal entry because the difference between actual overhead and the amount applied are a normal part of job order costing and will average out over the next year. c.makes an adjusting journal entry by debiting Manufacturing Overhead Expense for $1,200 and crediting Manufacturing Overhead for $1,200. d.makes an adjusting journal entry by debiting Cost of Goods Sold for $1,200 and crediting Manufacturing Overhead for $1,200.
Answer:
d. makes an adjusting journal entry by debiting Cost of Goods Sold for $1,200 and crediting Manufacturing Overhead for $1,200.
Explanation:
The debit balance of $1,200 in the Manufacturing Overhead account represents under-applied overhead. To ensure that the Cost of Goods Sold is accurate, the debit balance is debited to the Cost of Goods Sold while the corresponding credit goes to the Manufacturing Overhead account.
Target Profit Outdoors Company sells a product for $110 per unit. The variable cost is $65 per unit, and fixed costs are $288,000. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the break-even point in sales units if the company desires a target profit of $54,720.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Target Profit Outdoors Company sells a product for $110 per unit. The variable cost is $65 per unit, and fixed costs are $288,000.
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 288,000 / (110 - 65)
Break-even point in units= 6,400
Now, we incorporate the desired profit in the formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (288,000 + 54,720) / 45
Break-even point in units= 7,616 units
Braden Corp. uses a process costing system. Beginning inventory for January consisted of 1,600 units that were 69% completed. 10,000 units were started into the process during January. During January, 11,300 units were completed. How many units were in ending inventory on January 31?
Answer:
Ending inventory = 300 units
Explanation:
The formula for calculating ending inventory is given as follows:
Ending inventory = (Beginning inventory + units started into process) - (completed units)
Ending inventory = (1,600 + 10,000) - (11,300)
Ending inventory = 11,600 - 11,300
Ending inventory = 300 units

Southern Imports is an all-equity firm with a beta of 1.32. The firm is considering a new project that entails less risk than its current operations and thus management feels that the firm's beta should be lowered by .18 when assigning a discount rate to this project. The market rate of return is 9.4 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.8 percent. What discount rate should be assigned to this project
Answer:
The answer is "10.32%".
Explanation:
The actual beta firm =1.32
if new beta reduced by 1.8
beta firm= 1.14(1.32-1.8)

Yoshi Co.'s 12/31/2020 inventory on a FIFO basis was $980,000. The following information is available: Estimated selling price is $1,020,000; Estimated cost of disposal is $40,000; Normal profit margin is $120,000; and Current replacement cost is $900,000. At 12/31/2020, assuming Yoshi uses the loss method, what amount of loss should Yoshi record from applying LCM
Answer:
Yoshi Co.
The amount of loss that Yoshi Co. should record from applying LCM (the lower of Cost or Market price) is:
$40,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
FIFO inventory on 12/31/2020 = $980,000
Current replacement cost = $900,000
Net realizable value = $980,000 ($1,020,000 - $40,000)
Normal profit margin = $120,000
Loss to be recognized based on current replacement cost = FIFO purchase cost minus Current replacement cost
= $80,000 ($980,000 - $900,000)
b) Under the US GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) of prudence and conservatism, the loss of $80,000 must be recognized in the current period, since the inventory will be booked at $900,000, its current replacement cost, which is lower than the FIFO purchase cost of $980,000.

Which of the following is correct? Group of answer choices Risk-averse people will not hold stock. Diversification cannot reduce firm-specific risk. The larger the percentage of stock in a portfolio, the greater the risk, but the greater the average return. Stock prices are determined by fundamental analysis rather than by supply and demand.
Answer: The larger the percentage of stock in a portfolio, the greater the risk, but the greater the average return.
Explanation:
Stock in general is more risky than most financial instruments but this risk is accompanied with greater returns. This is why it is generally advisable to diversify stock in a portfolio.
As already mentioned, stock is risky but rewarding. It therefore follows that the more stock is in a portfolio, the risker the portfolio but the greater the average return.
Managers strive to increase the value of a firm. An increase in the intrinsic value of the firm’s stocks is a good measure of the increase in the value of the firm. Intrinsic value of a firm’s stock price is determined by calculating the present values of its free cash flows (FCF) discounted at a rate called the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Tyler is a team member in Corporate Finance at a digital-content production company. He is required to forecast the free cash flows that the company will be able to generate in the next three years. Tyler takes into account only the following equation in his calculation: FCF = Sales Revenues – Operating Costs – Operating Taxes Will his calculation be an appropriate estimate of the FCF? No Yes Why or why not? Check all that apply. Because his calculation fails to include both the working capital and capital expenditures necessary to sustain the company’s operations Because his calculation fails to include the increase in the working capital required to grow sales Because his calculation fails to include the costs of the firm’s interest and dividend payments Because his calculation fails to recognize the increase in sales revenues
Answer:
No. Because his calculation fails to include both the working capital and capital expenditures necessary to sustain the company’s operations
Explanation:
Free Cash Flow (FCF) can simply be defined as the net flow for a company after taking account of cash operating expenses, taxes (some textbooks may omit this), and investments in working capital and capital expenditure required to sustain continuous business operations.
As such, an appropriate formula for FCF would be:
sales revenue - cash operating cost (this will exclude depreciation) - operating taxes - investment in working capital - capital expenditure.
Tyler's formula did not include investment in working capital and capital expenditure, thus making it incomplete.
If the interest rate this year is 8.8% and the interest rate next year will be 10.8%, what is the future value of $1 after 2 years? What is the present value of a payment of $1 to be received in 2 years?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The interest rate this year is 8.8% and the interest rate next year will be 10.8%.
a) To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV1= 1*1.088= 1.088
FV2= 1.088*1.108=$1.206
b) To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:
PV=FV/(1+i)^n
PV2= 1/1.108= 0.903
PV1= 0.903/1.088= $0.83
Suppose that Sophia expects to serve 15 percent more meals in the next quarter. Unit variable costs are expected to remain unchanged. However, Sophia knows that if the restaurant serves over 5,500 meals in a quarter, she must hire an additional manager (part-time) at a cost of $6,450 for the quarter. Other fixed costs are expected to increase by 10 percent. Calculate the unit cost and the total cost if 5,750 meals are served next quarter
Answer:
$87,975
15.30
Explanation:
The computation of unit cost and total cost is shown below:-
Managers' salary ($22,000 + $6,450) $28,450
Rent $18,000
Depreciation on equipment $2,000
Other fixed cost (3,000 × 1.1) 3,300
Total Fixed cost $51,750
Total Cost = $36,225 + $51,750
= $87,975
Unit Cost = 87,975 ÷ 5,750
= 15.30
e market for iPhones, the following two changes take place: (1) the cost of making iPhones rises, and (2) customers begin to prefer Android-platform smartphones over iPhones. What happens to equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity
Answer: The equilibrium price is indeterminate, but the equilibrium quantity falls.
Explanation:
As a result of the cost of iPhones rising, the production and supply for iPhones will decrease in the market to save costs. This will cause the supply curve to shift to the left.
With customers preferring android to iPhones, the demand for iPhones will decrease which will shift the demand curve left as well.
Looking at the graph attached, notice how when both supply and demand shift left at the same time, equilibrium quantity will reduce and equilibrium price however will remain indeterminate and dependent on the magnitude of the shift.
If the price elasticity of demand for used cars priced between $4,000 and $6,000 is -0.9 (using the mid-point method), what will be the percent change in quantity demanded when the price of a used car falls from $6,000 to $4,000
Answer: 36% increase in quantity demanded.
Explanation:
Price Elasticity shows the change in quantity demanded when there is a change in price.
Change in Quantity demanded = Price elasticity * Change in price.
Change in price using midpoint formula;
[tex]= \frac{New price - Old Price}{\frac{New Price + Old Price }{2} } \\\\= \frac{4,000 - 6,000}{\frac{4,000 + 6,000 }{2} } \\\\= \frac{-2,000}{5,000} \\\\= -0.4[/tex]
Change in Quantity demanded = -0.9 * -0.4
= 0.36
= 36% increase
When the price of THE used car falls from $6,000 to $4,000, the percent change in quantity demanded will be 36% increase.
Explanation:
Price Elasticity basically shows the change in quantity demanded when there is a change in price.
The formula for Change in Quantity demanded = Price elasticity * Change in price.
Change in price using midpoint formula = New price - Old price / (New price - Old price / 2)
Change in price using midpoint formula = 4000 - 6000 / (4000 - 6000/ 2)
Change in price using midpoint formula = -0.4
Change in Quantity demanded = -0.9 * -0.4
Change in Quantity demanded = 0.36
Change in Quantity demanded = 36% increase
In conclusion, the percent change in quantity demanded will be 36% increase.

Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for similar questions and found the following requirements:
Round answers to two decimal places, when applicable.
a. Northern’s profit per unit on the special order?
$5.10
b. Northern’s variable cost per unit?
$11.90
c. Northern’s average fixed cost per unit on regular sales?
$13.60
Explanation:
regular price $34
regular profit 25% x $34 = $8.50
special order price = $17
special order profit = $8.50 x 60% = $5.10
net profit = sales price - variable costs - fixed costs
$8.50 = $34 - variable costs - fixed costs
$5.10 = $17 - variable costs
variable costs = $25.50 - fixed costs
variable costs = $11.90
fixed costs = $13.60
Vriend Software Inc.’s book value per share is $12.37. Earnings per share is $1.68, and the firm’s stock trades in the stock market at 2.5 times book value per share. What will the P/E ratio be? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
18.41
Explanation:
Vriend software incorporation has a book value of $12.37
The earnings per share is $1.68
The firm stock trade in the stock market is 2.5 times
The first step is to calculate the price
= 2.5 × book value
= 2.5 × 12.37
= 30.93
Therefore the P/E ratio can be calculated calculated as follows
= price/earnings per share
= 30.93/1.68
= 18.41
Hence the P/E ratio is 18.41

Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the current income:
Current income= 4,000*(50 - 10) - 15,000= $145,000
Now, the new selling price, fixed costs, and sales in units:
Selling price= 50*0.9= $45
Fixed costs= $45,000
Sales= 4,000*1.5= 6,000
New income= 6,000*(45 - 10) - 45,000= $165,000
Difference= 165,000 - 145,000= 20,000
Income will increase by $20,000.

Answer and Explanation:
Direct material cost variance-
Purchasing
Direct material efficiency variance-
Production
Direct labor cost variance- Human Resources
Direct labor efficiency variance-Production
The $1650 favorable direct material cost variance indicates that actual direct materials cost per pound was less than standard cost per pound. This increased Martin Inc's operating income by 1560.
Therefore Martin Inc bought lower than they normally purchase raw materials(pounds) which invariably increased profit(operating income)
The 650 unfavorable Direct Materials efficiency variance indicates that the actual pounds used was more than the total pounds allowed to manufacture 6500 glasses. This decreased Martin Inc's operating income by $650.
Efficiency was low as more materials were used than planned, therefire more cost and less profit
The $9100 favorable direct labor price variance means that Martin Inc's employees were paid less than budgeted. This increased Martin Inc's operating income by $9100.
Employees(labour) cost lower than expected hence higher profit(operating income)
The $11,700 favouravle direct labor efficiency variance means that it actually took fewer direct labor hours than were budgeted to produce 6500 glasses. Thus increased Martin Inc's operating income by $11,700.
Labour hours were lower than expected hence less cost more profit
Which of the following statements would be most likely to minimize expected fixing costs? a. A machine should always be calibrated at the midpoint between the upper and lower spec limits. b. A machine should be calibrated closer to the upper spec limit than the lower spec limit if the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low. c. A machine should be calibrated closer to the lower spec limit than the upper spec limit if the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low.
Answer: c. A machine should be calibrated closer to the lower spec limit than the upper spec limit if the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low.
Explanation:
If the cost of fixing output that is too high is greater than the cost of fixing output that is too low then it make sense to calibrate the machine closer to the lower spec limit.
This way if the machine produces less output than is required, it can be fixed at a lower cost than if the machine had been set to the upper spec and produces output that is too high.
