Answer:
Explanation:
Cablevision can easily accomplish this by doing the following. First gather the number of sales of premium services and other products that non-trained individuals are accomplishing in a given time period (example, one month). Next, under the same conditions place the newly trained individuals and gather the same data from them (number of sales/subscribers gained, premium products, and other products). Finally, they would simply need to compare the difference in the number of sales to see if the training paid off. They would also need to calculate if the difference in sales surpasses the costs of training.
Direct Materials Purchases Budget Pasadena Candle Inc. budgeted production of 775,000 candles for the January. Wax is required to produce a candle. Assume 11 ounces of wax is required for each candle. The estimated January 1 wax inventory is 17,900 pounds. The desired January 31 wax inventory is 14,300 pounds. If candle wax costs $1.80 per pound, determine the direct materials purchases budget for January. (One pound = 16 ounces.) Round all computed answers to the nearest whole number.

If a check correctly written and paid by the bank for $649 is incorrectly recorded on the company's books for $694, the appropriate treatment on the bank reconciliation would be to
Answer: Add $45 to the book balance
Explanation:
This is a case of bank reconciliation. Bank reconciliation occurs when the account of the bank and the company or Business are compared in order to check the differences which are then reconciled.
In this case, since the check written and paid by the bank is $649 while in the company's book, it's written as $694, then a book balance of $45 is added which is the difference between $694 and $649
Lambda Computer Products competed for and won a contract to produce two prototype units of a new type of computer that is based on laser optics rather than on electronic binary bits. The first unit produced by Lambda took 5,000 hours to produce and required $250,000 worth of material, equipment usage, and supplies. The second unit took 4,250 hours and used $237,500 worth of materials, equipment usage, and supplies. Labor is $20 per hour. Use Exhibit 6.5. a. Lambda was asked to present a bid for 10 additional units as soon as the second unit was completed. Production would start immediately. What would this bid be
Answer:
$2,731,672.50
Explanation:
first unit produced by lambda took 5,000 hours to produce and required $250,000 worth of material, equipment usage, and supplies
the second unit took 4,250 hours and used $238,500 worth of materials, equipment usage, and supplies
learning rate = time needed to produce second unit / time needed to produce first unit = 4,250 hours / 5,000 hours = 85%
materials and equipment usage rate = $237,500 / $250,000 = 95%
using the attached table of cumulative values, we can determine the cumulative improvement factors needed to solve this question:
Lambda's accumulated cost for producing 10 more computers
work hours = 4,250 x 7.116 (85% and 10 units) x $20 per hour = $604,860materials and equipment = $238,500 x 8.955 (95% and 10 units) = $2,126,812.50total = $604,860 + $2,126,812.50 = $2,731,672.50

Recent research indicates that it may take only a few minutes to prevent unethical behavior. When workers face a choice between right and
wrong, they are about five times more likely to make the unethical choice when the decision is rushed.* Think about times in your life when you faced a moral decision and made the wrong choice. Did you feel rushed to make the decision? If you had taken more time to think or consult an ethical colleague, would you have made a different decision? (5-7 sentences )
Answer:
I had once visited a client and he, unusually, offered me a complimentary tip. Somewhere at the back of my mind, it felt off. So I declined. He on the other hand persisted.
Because I wanted to round up the meeting, I eventually accepted and left.
The next day was our weekly in-house academy - a day of the week when we set aside about 2 hours for learning and re-learning.
At that meeting, the HR Executive did a reminder on the value of the organisation, as well as the ethics which guide our operations. There she mentioned categorically that it was prohibited by the company to accept any type of cash gifts from the client or from the insurance companies.
As, soon as the meeting was done, I reported myself to the HR Executive and she advised that I return it and I did immediately, thankfully, the exact note was still in my possession.
I wrote a letter to the client respectfully returning the gift on the grounds that company policy forbade it and that marked the end of that episode.
If I had the company blueprint on ethics at my fingertips, I would have insisted on my initial position not to take the gift.
Cheers

Creswell Corporation's fixed monthly expenses are $30,000 and its contribution margin ratio is 63%. Assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change, what is the best estimate of the company's net operating income in a month when sales are $92,000?
a. $27,960.b. $62,000.c. $57,960.d. $4,040.
Answer:
Net income= $27,960
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $30,000
contribution margin ratio= 0.63
Sales= $92,000
First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 92,000*0.63= 57,960
Now, the net income:
Net income= 57,960 - 30,000
Net income= $27,960

"Aldrich and Co. sold goods to Donovan on credit.The amount owed grew steadily, and finally Aldrichrefused to sell any more to Donovan unless Donovansigned a promissory note for the amount due.Donovan did not want to but signed the notebecause he had no money and needed more goods.When Aldrich brought an action to enforce the note,Donovan claimed that the note was not bindingbecause it had been obtained by economic duress.Was he correct? [Aldrich & Co. v. Donovan, 778 P.2d397 (Mont.)"
Answer and Explanation:
Economic duress happens when one party X in a contract makes demands from the other party Y which party Y has to fulfill or party X terminates the contract.
No there was no economic duress here since Aldrich had a right to demand that Donovan sign a promissory note in order to protect his claim in case of default from Donovan. Therefore Donovan signed not because he was under duress but because he needed financial assistance.
Bates Company plans to add a new item to its line of consumer product offerings. Two possible products are under consideration. Each unit of Product A costs $10 to produce and has a contribution margin of $5, while each unit of Product B costs $18 and has a contribution margin of $6. What is the differential revenue for this decision
Answer:
the Differential revenue is $9
Explanation:
The computation of the differential revenue is shown below:
Differential revenue is
= (Product B) - (Product A)
= (Cost + contribution margin) - (Cost + contribution margin)
= ($18 + $6) - ($10 + $5)
= $24 - $15
= $9
hence, the Differential revenue is $9
Therefore the same is to be considered

Discussion #6 - Inventory Methods (due Thurs/Sun) 1010 unread replies.1010 replies. The following is an excerpt from a conversation between Paula Marlo, the warehouse manager for Musick Foods Wholesale Co., and its accountant, Mike Hayes. Musick Foods operates a large regional warehouse that supplies produce and other grocery products to grocery stores in smaller communities. Paula: Mike, can you explain what's going on here with these monthly statements? Mike: Sure, Paula. How can I help you? Paula: I don't understand this last-in, first-out inventory procedure. It just doesn't make sense. Mike: Well, what it means is that we assume that the last goods we receive are the first ones sold. So the inventory consists of the items we purchased first. Paula: Yes, but that's my problem. It doesn't work that way! We always distribute the oldest produce first. Some of that produce is perishable! We can't keep any of it very long or it'll spoil. Mike: Paula, you don't understand. We only assume that the products we distribute are the last ones received. We don't actually have to distribute the goods in this way. Paula: I always thought that accounting was supposed to show what really happened. It all sounds like "make believe" to me! Why not report what really happens?
Answer:
Musick Foods Wholesale Co. is permitted by the US GAAP to use the LIFO (Last In, First Out) inventory valuation method. The use of LIFO offers Musick and other firms the opportunity to save on taxes as well as better match their revenue to their latest costs when prices are rising.
Explanation:
Using LIFO method of measuring the value of inventory, the costs of the most recent products purchased (or produced) by Musick Foods are the first to be expensed. It is not that in practice, those costs expensed refer to the units being sold first, it is merely an assumption permitted by the US FASB under her generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Acme-Jones Corporation uses a weighted-average perpetual inventory system. August 2, 40 units were purchased at $27 per unit. August 18, 24 units were purchased at $29 per unit. August 29, 42 units were sold. What was the amount of the cost of goods sold for this sale?
Answer:Cost of goods sold=$1,165.5
Explanation:
Using the weighted-average perpetual inventory system.
August 2 =40 units x $27per unit = $1080
August 18=24units x $29 per unit = $696
Weighted average cost per unit = (1080 + 696)/64 = $27.75per unit
Therefore, Cost of goods sold = $27.75 x 42 = $1,165.5
Comparing with unemployment rate with employment rate, which of the following is NOT correct? a. Unemployment rate takes the group of "out of labor force" into account. b. Compared with unemployment rate, employment rate is better because it concerns the hidden unemployment in the out of labor force group. c. Compared with employment rate, unemployment rate in a labor market usually has a larger variation. d. It has limitation because some policy shocks unrelated to unemployment or labor market situation such changes in fertility and school enrollment rates, will affect the number of the employment rate as well.
Answer:
b. Compared with unemployment rate, employment rate is better because it concerns the hidden unemployment in the out of labor force group.
Explanation:
Remember, the employment rate is used to determine the degree to which the labor force (people willing to work) in a particular economy are able to find work.
Hence, it does not concern itself or takes into account the hidden unemployment in the out of the labor force group, but only those people willing to work are considered.

If the liabilities of a company increased $110,000 during a period of time and equity in the company decreased $37,000 during the same period, what was the effect on the assets?
Answer:
Increase of $73,000
Explanation:
As we know that
The accounting equation is
Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
So it can be said that
Change in Assets = Change in Liabilities + Change in Owner's Equity
Change in Assets = Increase of $110,000 + Decrease of $37,000
Change in Assets = Increase of $73,000
hence, the impact of the asset is $73,000 and the same is to be considered
Felicia works for a news organization as a reporter. For the most part her work is solitary, and she only has brief communications via email or telephone with her editor (her boss) when she submits her stories. While Felicia is a good news reporter, the economy has taken a downfall and the organization likely will have to lay off some employees. Felicia is most likely to perceive this situation as:
Answer:
The correct answer is: Personal threat
Explanation:
Analyzing the above scenario, Felicia is considered more likely to perceive this situation as a personal threat.
This is due to her job function, which is a good news reporter, and with the economy declining and the organization will probably have to fire some employees, she feels threatened personally, as she is more likely to realize that the economic situation negative will directly influence the good news that she sends to the news agency, so she feels that this situation is threatening to the performance of her work and the agency may fire her because there is no good news for publication.
On June 1, Royal Corp. began operating a service company with an initial cash investment by shareholders of $3,206,000. The company provided $8,200,000 of services in June and received full payment in July. Royal also incurred expenses of $2,645,000 in June that were paid in August. During June, Royal paid its shareholders cash dividends of $490,000. What was the company's income before income taxes for the two months ended July 31 under the following methods of accounting
Answer:
Cash Basis= $8,200,000
Accrual Basis= $5,555,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the company's income before income taxes for the two months ended July 31
Based on the information given we were told that the company provided the amount of $8,200,000 of services in the month of June and received full payment of the amount in the month of July which means that the CASH BASIS will be $8,200,000
Cash Basis= $8,200,000
Calculation for Accrual Basis
Using this formula
Accrual Basis= Cash received - Incurred expenses
Accrual Basis= $8,200,000-$2,645,000
Accrual Basis= $5,555,000
Therefore the company's income before income taxes for the two months ended July 31 under the Cash Basis and Accrual Basis methods of accounting will be :
Cash Basis= $8,200,000
Accrual Basis= $5,555,000

Charter Company, which uses the perpetual inventory method, purchases different letters for resale. Charter had a beginning inventory comprised of seven units at $4 per unit. The company purchased five units at $6 per unit in February, sold seven units in October, and purchased two units at $7 per unit in December. If Charter Company uses the LIFO method, what is the cost of its ending inventory
Answer:
Ending inventory cost= $34
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 7 units for $4 per unit.
Purchased= 5 units for $6
Sold= 7 units
Purchased= 2 units for $7 each
Under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the cost of ending inventory is calculated using the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory. The perpetual inventory system recognizes sales after it happens.
Ending inventory:
Beginning inventory= 7*4= 28
Purchased= 5*6= 30
Sold= (5*6) + (2*4)= (38)
Purchased= 2*7= 14
Ending inventory cost= $34

Old Time Savings Bank pays 3% interest on its savings accounts. If you deposit $3,000 in the bank and leave it there: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) a. How much interest will you earn in the first year?
Answer:
Interest= $90
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $3,000
i= 3%
Number of periods= 1
First, we need to calculate the future value, using the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 3,000*1.03= $3,090
Now, the interest earned:
Interest= 3,090 - 3,000
Interest= $90
Joe is considering 2 similar bonds, with the only difference that: (1) a tax-exempt municipal bond promises a 5.625% annual return, (2) a taxable corporate bond promises a 7.5% annual return. If Joe's tax rate is 25%, which bond should he buy?
a. Either one, both have the same after-tax yield
b. Municipal bond, as it has a higher after-tax yield
c. Corporate bond, as it has a higher after-tax yield
d. Not enough information is given to answer the question
Answer:
a. Either one, both have the same after-tax yield
Explanation:
we have to calculate the after tax return of the bonds:
after tax return of corporate bonds = bond yield x (1 - tax rate) = 7.5% x (1 - 25%) = 7.5% x 0.75 = 5.625%
since municipal bonds are not included as part of Joe's gross income, their after tax rate is equal to their yield = 5.625%
both bonds yield the same after tax return = 5.625%
Suppose that real GDP grew more in Country A than in Country B last year.
a. Country A must have a higher standard of living than country B.
b. Country A's worker productivity must have grown faster than country B's.
c. Both of the above are correct.
d. None of the above are correct.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
The standard of living is calculated as real GDP / population. Even though the real GDP of country A grew faster than country B, country A's population might be higher than country B's making its standard of living lower.
To make a conclusion that the growth of country A's worker productivity grew faster, it must be assumed that population grew at the same rate in both countries
Big Box Store has operated with a 30% average gross profit ratio for a number of years. It had $107,000 in sales during the second quarter of this year. If it began the quarter with $18,700 of inventory at cost and purchased $72,700 of inventory during the quarter, its estimated ending inventory by the gross profit method is:
Answer:
$16,500
Explanation:
The computation of the estimated ending inventory is given below:
As We know that
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchase made - ending inventory
And, the
Sales - gross profit = Cost of goods sold
So,
$107,000 - $107,000 × 30% = Cost of goods sold
Therefore, the cost of goods sold is
= $107,000 - $32,100
= $74,900
And, finally the ending inventory is
$74,900 = $18,700 + $72,700 - ending inventory
$74,900 = $91,400 - ending inventory
So, the ending inventory is
= $91,400 - $74,900
= $16,500

A firm has fixed operating costs of $10,000, the sale price per unit of its product is $25, and its variable cost per unit is $15. The firm's operating breakeven point in units is ________ and its breakeven point in dollars is ________.
A) 1,000; $6,250.
B) 400; $10,000.
C) 400; $25,000.
D) 1,000; $25,000.
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $10,000
Selling price= $25
Unitary variable cost= $15
To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 10,000 / (25 - 15)
Break-even point in units= 1,000
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 10,000 / (10/25)
Break-even point (dollars)= $25,000
Answer:
D) 1,000; $25,000.
Explanation:
Let us assume the company produces x units. The total cost is:
Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost × number of items = $10000 + 15 × x = 10000 + 15x
The revenue = number of unit × price per unit = x × $25 = 25x
At breakeven, the revenue and cost are equal, therefore:
25x = 10000 + 15x
25x - 15x = 10000
10x = 10000
x = 10000/10
x = 1000 units
The price at breakeven point = 25x = 25(1000) = $25000

Between FIFO or LIFO, which method would produce the more favorable cash flow?
Answer:
FIFO method decreases COGS and increases net income, but both methods will result in a similar cash flow ($8,850).
Explanation:
cost of goods sold using FIFO:
380 x $5 = $1,900
(120 x $5) + (90 x $7) = $1,230
total = $3,130
profit = (590 x $15) - $3,130 = $5,720
cost of goods sold using LIFO:
(100 x $9) + (280 x $7) = $2,860
210 x $7 = $1,470
total = $4,330
profit = (590 x $15) - $4,330 = $4,520
assuming that the company does not incur any operating costs:
Cash flow from operating activities (using FIFO):
Net income $5,270
adjustments to net income:
Decrease in inventory $3,130
Net cash flow $8,850
Cash flow from operating activities (using LIFO):
Net income $4,520
adjustments to net income:
Decrease in inventory $4,330
Net cash flow $8,850
