b. No.
d. Contribution per unit = $4 ($30,000/7,500)
Fixed cost = $20,000
Fixed cost Plus Profit = $30,000
Minimum quantity to make it profitable = $30,000/$4 = 7,500 thermostats
However, this profit level is far below the normal production profit of 28% on sales revenue.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Materials $ 36.00
Labor 14.00
Variable overhead 4.00
Total variable cost = $54
Fixed overhead ($1,800,000 per year; 100,000 units per year) 18.00
Total $ 72.00
Selling price = $100
Special order = 7,500 thermostats
Price of special order = $60
Relevant costs of special order:
Materials $ 36.00
Labor 14.00
Variable overhead 4.00
Additional material = $2
Unit variable cost = $56
Total variable cost = $420,000
Packaging equipment 20,000
Total relevant cost = $440,000
Sales Revenue = $450,000
Profit from special order = $10,000
We would like to invest $10,000 into shares of companies XX and YY.
Shares of XX cost $20 per share. The market analysis shows that their expected return is $1 per share with a standard deviation of $0.5.
Shares of YY cost $50 per share, with an expected return of $2.50 and a standard deviation of $1 per share.
Returns from the two companies are independent. In order to maximize the expected return and minimize the risk (standard deviation or variance), is it better to invest
a. All $10,000 into XX
b. All $10,000 into YY
c. $5,000 into each company
Answer:
c. $5,000 into each company
Explanation:
Let X be the actual (random) return from each share of XX, and Y be the actual return from each share of YY. Computing the returns from each option:
A) Investing $10,000 into XX
Given that variance = (standard deviation)²
Since XX cost $20 per share, only 500 shares can be bought.
Expected value = 500 * E(x) = 500 * 1 = 500
Variance = 500² * Var(x) = 500² * 0.5² = 62500
B) Investing $10,000 into YY
Since YY cost $50 per share, only 200 shares can be bought.
Expected value = 200 * E(y) = 200 * 2.5 = 500
Variance = 200² * Var(y) = 200² * 1² = 40000
C) Investing $5,000 into each company
Since XX cost $20 per share and YY cost $50 per share, only 250 shares of XX and 100 shares of YY can be bought.
Expected value = 250 * E(x) + 100 * E(y) = 250 * 1 + 100 * 2.5 = 500
Variance = 250² * Var(x) + 100² * Var(y) = 250² * 0.5² + 100² * 1 = 25625
Since all options have the same expected return, but option C has the lowest variance hence it is the least riskiest. So the best option is C

Answer:
The first part of the question is missing, so I looked for similar questions:
Maple Corp. owns several pieces of highly valued paintings that are on display in the corporation's headquarters. This year, it donated one of the paintings valued at $100,000 (adjusted basis of $25,000) to a local museum for the museum to display.
Maple Corp. can deduct $100,00 as charitable contribution.
When a corporation or an individual donates art work to a qualifying charity, they can deduct the fair market value of the art work if:
they have owned the art work for at least 1 year prior to the donationthe charity must use the art work in a manner directly related to its regular activities and missionthe charity must hold the art work for at least 3 years after you donated itthe IRS must classify the company or individual as an investor or art collector, e.g. artists cannot deduct donations of their own artShare one or two specific examples of how you will use the concepts or strategies presented in this class to contribute to your academic and career success.

A microwave manufacturing company has just switched to a new automated production system. Unfortunately, the new machinery has been frequently failing and requiring repairs and service. Historically, the company has been able to provide its customers with a completion time of 6 days or less. To analyze whether the completion time has increased, the production manager took a sample of 36 jobs and found that the sample mean completion time was 6.5 days with a sample standard deviation of 1.5 days. At a significance level of .10 using the critical value rule, we can show that the completion time has increased.
Required:
Indicate which test you are performing; show the hypotheses, the test statistic and the critical values and mention whether one- tailed or two-tailed.
Answer
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Given the following :
Sample mean (m) = 6.5
Samole standard deviation (s) = 1.5
α = 0.10
Sample size (n) = 36
μ = 6
Null : μ ≤ 6
Alternative : μ > 6
Decision region:
If Tstatistic > tα, n - 1 ; reject Null
One tailed test (right tail)
Tstatistic (t) :
(m - μ) / s/√n
(6.5 - 6) / 1.5/√36
0.5 / 0.25
= 2
tα, n - 1 = t0.1,35 ; from t table ; = 1.306
If Tstatistic > tα, n - 1 ; reject Null
2 > 1.306 ; hence reject Null

Economic transactions involve the exchange of products, the provision of services (such as risk-taking and saving), and the movement of funds and other investments between nationals of different countries. The following two types of economic transactions.
The phrase can also be used to describe the entire group of consumers of a commodity or service. In a market, buyers and sellers come together to exchange goods and services. A country's economic exchanges with the rest of the world are summarized in the balance of payments.
The export and import of products, services, and financial assets, as well as transfer payments, are among these transactions (like foreign aid). For 'open' economies like Australia, the balance of payments is a crucial economic indicator.

A company issued 130 shares of $100 par value common stock for $15,400 cash. The total amount of paid-in capital in excess of par is:
Answer:
$2,400
Explanation:
For par stated shares, any amount paid in excess of the par value is called paid-in capital in excess of par and is included in shareholders equity reserves.
So, from the total price remove the par value price of 130 shares to determine the paid-in capital in excess of par.
Paid-in capital in excess of par = Total Paid - Price at Par
= $15,400 - (130 shares × $100)
= $2,400
For each of the following pairs of goods, state whether the cross-price elasticity is likely positive, negative, or zero. Explain your answers.
a. Hulu and Netflix.
Close to zero. While they are substitutes they are not close substitutes.
Negative. They are complements.
Positive. They are close substitutes.
b. Tortilla chips and salsa.

Negative. They are complements.
d. Running shoes and high heels.
Negative. They are complements.
Positive. They are close substitutes.
Close to zero. While they are substitutes they are not close substitutes.
Answer:
a. Hulu and Netflix.
Positive. They are close substitutes
Hulu and Netflix both provides television shows, so a consumer can choose between them. They are good substitutes
b. Tortilla chips and salsa.
Negative. They are complements.
Tortilla chips are consumed with salsa sauce. So a demand for salsa increases so does demand for tortilla chips.
c. Movie and popcorn.
Negative. They are complements.
The more people watch movies the more they will want to buy popcorn.
d. Running shoes and high heels
Close to zero. While they are substitutes they are not close substitutes.
Each has its own time of use. Consumers by them independently.
Explanation:
Cross price elasticity is a measure of the quantity demanded of one good to changes in price of another good.
So when a good's demand reduces with increase in price of another it is negative cross price elasticity. This is common with complements.
When quantity demanded of a good increases with increase in price of another, they are substitutes.
However when there is little effect on the quantity demanded with increase in price of the other good they are unrelated

You hit the lottery! You get offered $10 million now or $1 million a year for 13 years. Assume a 3 percent interest rate. Which would you choose and why
Answer:
I would choose to receive $1 million for 13 years because the present value of the cash flows is greater than 10 million
Explanation:
To determine which option i would choose, i have to calculate the present value of the second option
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 13 = $1 million
I = 3%
Present value = $10,634,955
I would choose to receive $1 million for 13 years because the present value of the cash flows is greater than 10 million - $10,634,955 > $10,000,000
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Option 2 should be considered since it contains more amount of present value as compared to option 1.
Calculation of the present value:
In option 1, it offered $10 million or $10,000,000
While in option 2, the interest rate is 3% and the time period is 13 years Also, the payment is $1 million
So here we need to determine the present value
PV = PMT x (1 - (1+i)-n / i )
PV = 1,000,000 x (1 - (1+0.03)-13 / 0.03 )
PV = 10,634,955.33
Based on this, the option 2 should be considered.

The full question is "The following three defense stocks are to be combined into a stock index in January 2013 (perhaps a portfolio manager believes these stocks are an appropriate benchmark for his or her performance): Price Shares (millions) 1/1/13 1/1/14 1/1/15 Douglas McDonnell 355 $ 86 $ 91 $ 103 Dynamics General 455 55 52 66 International Rockwell 270 84 73 87 a. Calculate the initial value of the index if a price-weighting scheme is used. (Index value) b. What is the rate of return on this index for the year ending December 31, 2013? For the year ending December 31, 2014?"
a. Initial value for Index = Sum of prices / Number of stocks
Initial value for Index = ($86+$55+$84)/3
Initial value for Index = $225/3
Initial value for Index = $75
b. For the year ending December 31, 2013
Index value at the end of 2013 = ($91+$52+$73)/3
Index value at the end of 2013 = $216/3
Index value at the end of 2013 = 72
Rate of Return = (Ending price - Beginning price) / Beginning price
Rate of Return = (72-75)/75
Rate of Return = -3/75
Rate of Return = -0.04
Rate of Return = -4%
For the year ending December 31, 2014
Index value at the end of 2014 = ($103+$66+$87)/3
Index value at the end of 2014 = $256/3
Index value at the end of 2014 = $85.33
Rate of Return = (Ending price - Beginning price) / Beginning price
Rate of Return = (85.33-72)/72
Rate of Return = 13.33/72
Rate of Return = 0.1851
Rate of Return = 18.51%
The inventory on hand at the end of 2019 for Reddall Company is valued at a cost of $94,000. The following items were not included in this inventory:
1. Purchased goods in transit, under terms FOB shipping point, invoice price $4,200, freight costs $200.
2. Goods out on consignment to Marlman Company, sales price $5,600, shipping costs of $200.
3. Goods sold to Grina Co. under terms FOB destination, invoiced for $1,900 which included $178 freight charges to deliver the goods. Goods are in transit.
4. Goods held on consignment by Reddall at a sales price of $2,700 which included sales commission of 20% of sales price.
5. Purchased goods in transit, shipped FOB destination, invoice price $2,100 which included freight charges of $190.
Required:
Determine the cost of the ending inventory that Reddall should report on its December 31, 2016, balance sheet, assuming that its selling price is 140% of the cost of the inventory.
Answer: $103,830
Explanation:
Ending Inventory = Inventory on hand + Purchased goods shipping point + Goods out on consignment + Goods sold FOB Destination
Selling price of goods is 140% cost of inventory so sales figures will have to be divided by 140% to get the inventory figure.
Purchased goods shipping point
= 4,200 + 200 = $4,400
Goods out on Consignment
= (5,600 / 140%) + 200 = $4,200
Goods sold FOB Destination
= (1,900 - 178) / 140% = $1,230
Ending Inventory
= 94,000 + 4,400 + 4,200 + 1,230
= $103,830
Goods Purchased FOB Destination are not to be included as they are still the responsibility of the seller. Goods held on consignment should not be included either.

U.S. employees work harder now than ever before, and almost 75 percent report regularly experiencing job-related stress symptoms. Stress costs organizations an estimated $30 billion a year in lost productivity, and hundreds of billions a year if you include health care costs and absenteeism. This activity is important because managers can help to decrease unnecessary workplace stressors, and can help employees to experience fewer stress symptoms, if they are attuned to the sources from which workplace stress can manifest. The goal of this exercise is to challenge your knowledge of the six sources of work-related stress.
For each person, select the source of job-related stress that his or her example best depicts:
a. Demands created by individual differences
b. Individual task demands
c. Individual role demands
d. Worklife balance
e. group demands
f. Organizational demands
Answer:
1. Cedrick tends to worry about things in his life, regardless of what’s going on in his job or whether he is facing anything objectively stressful.
d. Worklife balance
2. Chien-Shiung has to miss his daughter’s softball game because he is committed to a work meeting.
d. Worklife balance
3. Lourdes works as a barista at a very busy campus Starbucks location.
c. Individual role demands
4. Danilo feels anxiety every morning on his commute to work thinking about the fact that he will be spending the next 8 hours with his coworkers who are neither kind nor helpful to one another.
a. Demands created by individual differences
5. Ang manages the front desk at a New York City hotel and has to pretend that he is happy and cheerful all day long, even when customers are rude to him or his employees.
c. Individual role demands
6. Norman works a full-time 8 to 5 job but also does consulting work on the side. He is stressed trying to decide whether he should take two days off from his full-time job, thus putting himself behind on tasks, in order to take advantage of a lucrative consulting opportunity.
b. Individual task demands
7. Teri’s direct supervisor often ignores subordinates’ concerns, manipulates others to get ahead, and engages in unethical behavior.
a. Demands created by individual differences
8. Violeta’s office feels overly stimulating to her. There are too many people crammed into the space, the overhead fluorescent lighting causes her daily headaches, and there are no walls to provide any quiet or privacy for employees.
e. group demands
9. Ahmed’s company expects its employees to be available 24 hours a day. Last week he spent the weekend hiking with friends but was on his phone responding to emails half the time. He knew that if he ignored the emails his boss would reprimand him on Monday.
f. Organizational demands
10. Farrah is always on the go. She keeps a to-do list for everything, speed walks between meetings, and often feels impatient.
b. Individual task demands
11. Devisha’s manager tends to assign projects without giving much explanation for how employees’ performance will be evaluated. Devisha is experiencing work stress because she has no idea whether she is performing well or not and won’t be sure until her annual evaluation.
b. Individual task demands
12. Philip and his spouse just adopted a baby. Philip is taking a month of paternity leave, and because of this he knows he will likely miss out on being assigned to a project that he was looking forward to working on.
d. Worklife balance
Explanation:
a. Demands created by individual differences: These differences arise by virtue of the fact that humans have different personalities and behaviors that might make us clash with them or misunderstand them.
b. Individual task demands: These problems arise when employees are unsure of the changes that might occur in the jobs given them to accomplish.
c. Individual role demands: These stress issues occur by virtue of the position the employee holds.
d. Worklife balance: This occurs when individuals try to balance life both at home and at work.
e. Group demands: Are stress-related issues that arise due to an employee having to work with others.
f. Organizational demands: Are the stress that arises because of the demands imposed by the company an employee works with.

Blago Wholesale Company began operations on January 1, 20X1, and uses the average cost method in costing its inventory. Management is contemplating a change to the FIFO method in 20X2 and is interested in determining how such a change will affect net income. Accordingly, the following information has been developed:
20X1 20X2
Final inventory:
Average cost $150,000 $255,000
FIFO 160,000 270,000
Condensed income statements for Blago Wholesale appear below:
20X1 20X2
Sales $1,000,000 $1,200,000
Cost of goods sold 600,000 720,000
Gross profit 400,000 480,000
Selling, general, and
administrative 250,000 275,000
Net income $150,000 $205,000
Required:
Based on this information, what would 20X2 net income be after the change to the FIFO method? Ignore any income tax effects of this change in accounting method.
Answer:
net income for 20x2 is $220,000
Explanation:
if the company changes to the FIFO method, the adjusting entry should be:
Dr Inventory 15,000
Cr Cost of goods sold 15,000
This means that COGS will decrease by $15,000.
20x2 income statement
Sales $1,200,000

Christiansen Corporation uses an activity-based costing system with the following three activity cost pools: Activity Cost Pool Total Activity Fabrication 70,000 machine-hours Order Processing 500 orders Other Not applicable The Other activity cost pool is used to accumulate costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs. The company has provided the following data concerning its costs: Wages and Salaries $420,000 Depreciation 160,000 Occupancy 200,000 Total $780,000 The distribution of resource consumption across activity cost pools is given below: Activity Cost Pools Fabrication Order Processing Other Total Wages and Salaries 60% 20% 20% 100% Depreciation 5% 60% 35% 100% Occupancy 25% 50% 25% 100%
The activity rate for the Order Processing activity cost pool is closest to:_______.
A. $312 per order
B. $676 per order
C. $780 per order
D. $560 per order
Answer:
D. $560 per order
Explanation:
For computing the activity rate first determine the total allocation cost which is shown below:
The Total allocation cost is
= Wages & salaries + depreciation + occupancy
= $420,000 × 20% + $160,000 × 60% + $200,000 * 0.50
= $84,000 $96,000 + $$100,000
= $280,000
Now the activity rate is
= $280,000 ÷ 500 orders
= $560 per order
hence, the option D is correct
