Answer:
$1,500
Explanation:
With regards to the above, we would compute Benson's Company bad debt expense for 2013 as;
= Estimated uncollectible accounts as of 31, December 2013 - Credit balance in the allowance for doubtful account before adjustment at December 31, 2013.
= $1,800 - $300
= $1,500
Therefore, Benson Company would report $1,500 as bad debts expense in 2013.
Alamo Power historically allocates IDC for its safety program to generation facilities in Cities A and B based on the number of employees. Last year, $300,000 was distributed and the employee count was 840 in city A and 450 in city B. Implementation of the ABC method took place this year to allocate IDC on the basis of number of accidents. City A reported 345 events and city B had 142 accidents reported.
Determine the allocation based on the number of employees. The allocation based on the number of employees is as follows:
City A:________
City B: _______
Answer:
Alamo Power
Allocation of IDC cost based on the number of employees:
City A = $195,349
City B = $104,651
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
IDC cost = $300,000
City A City B Total
Employee count 840 450 1,290
Number of accidents 345 142 487
Allocation of IDC cost based on the number of employees:
City A = 840/1,290 * $300,000 = $195,349
City B = 450/1,290 * $300,000 = $104,651
Total cost allocated = $300,000
Allocation of IDC cost based on the number of accidents:
City A = 345/487 * $300,000 = $212,526
City B = 142/487 * $300,000 = $87,474

Identify the opportunity below that could enable an employee to commit fraud. Group of answer choices An employee's spouse loses her job. The company does not have a clear policies and procedures for the employee to follow. The employee is experiencing financial hardship. An employee is upset that he was passed over for a promotion.
Answer:
The employee is experiencing financial hardship.
Explanation:
Fraud is best understood by the Fraud Triangle: pressure, opportunity and tone. Therefore for fraud to occur there must be pressure felt by employee for lack of funds, where opportunity to commit fraud exists and when the company's tone provides the means to justify employee's fraudulent behaviour.
In the given question, where an employee's spouse loses her job there is neither any opportunity nor tone of the company to commit fraud.
For the issue where company does not have a clear policies and procedures for the employee to follow, there is tone of the company to commit fraud but there is no pressure nor any opportunity to commit fraud.
The employee is experiencing financial hardship, this is a possible opportunity to commit fraud. As there is pressure and opportunity for the employee to go through it.
In the final option, the fact of being upset does creates a reason for fraud but due to lack of any financial pressure the fraud would not occur.

Carla McFarland was an associate professor of English literature at Highland College. She was the only single person in her department. Consequently, she was frequently assigned classes late in the evening, on weekends, and during the summer semester. She was also called upon to pick up visiting professors and serve as their escort and guide during their stays at the college. She received extra duty as adviser to the The Highland Review, the college’s literary magazine. When McFarland complained about the unequal treatment, she was told that the married professors had family responsibilities that she did not have, which took up much of their time and prevented them from having the flexibility that she had. Thus, she would continue to carry the extra load. McFarland filed a complaint with the EEOC.

Can discrimination based on an employee’s status as a single person be considered unlawful under the Civil Rights Act? Explain. Is this a case of disparate impact or disparate treatment? Explain.
Answer and Explanation:
The case shown above is an example of discrimination by civil status, however it is not an example of violation of the civil rights law, as it is not prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. However, some states have their own legislation that prevents this type of discrimination, which makes it a violation of state laws, which can lead the offender to be severely punished.
This is an example of case of disparate treatment, as we can see that there is discriminatory treatment with an employee, where she is treated differently compared to other employees because of a characteristic of her personal life.
This would be a case of disparate impact if there were a group of protected and privileged employees at the expense of the exploitation of other employees.
On November 1, Year One, a company is paid $12,000 in advance to do a job for a customer. The job has ten separate steps. The first four steps were completed in Year One and the remaining six steps were completed in Year Two. The accountant mistakenly believed that this was just one big job and recorded it in that fashion. However, each of the ten steps was really an individual job and should have been accounted for in that way. Which of the following statements is true?
a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.
b. At the end of Year Two, the company's assets are overstated.
c. At the end of Year Two, the company's retained earnings are overstated.
d. At the end of Year One, the company's retained earnings are understated.
e. At the end of Year Two, the company's net income is understated.
Answer: a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.
Explanation:
Under the Accrual basis of Accounting, revenue should be recorded for only jobs that have been completed. In other words, only earned revenue should be recorded. Revenue that has not been earned but yet received, is to be termed Deferred revenue and should be treated as a current liability.
In this scenario, there are steps that have not been completed so some of the revenue received should be termed deferred revenue. These should therefore be in current liabilities and because they were not, the liabilities for the end of year 1 will be understated.

The current price of the Volkswagen ADR (VWAGY) is 35.50. You purchase 50 shares on margin. You finance half of the purchase yourself and borrow the other half from your broker at an annual interest rate of 6.0%. Assume that the ADR pays an annual dividend of 0.56 per share. If the price in one year is 42, what is the return on your investment (keep in mind that you need to pay interest on the loan)
Answer:
33.77%
Explanation:
In one year, you are going to receive ($42 x 100) + ($0.56 x 100) = $4,256
you must return ($35.50 x 50) = $1,775
plus interests = $1,775 x 6% = $106.50
total return = $4,256 - $1,775 - $106.50 = $2,374.50
you invested $1,775
return on your investment = ($2,374.50 / $1,775) - 1 = 33.77%
In a competitive economy, firms pay a real wage (W/P) equal to the marginal product of labor (MPL) and a real rental rate (R/P) equal to the marginal product of capital (MPK). Note that the total income of labor is equal to the product of the real wage and the total quantity of labor employed. Likewise, the total income of capital is equal to the product of the real rental rate and the total quantity of capital employed. Use this information to answer the following questions.
a. The marginal product of labor (MPL) can be expressed as______ and _______the marginal product of capital (MPK) can be expressed as _______.
Answer:
hello your question has some missing information attached below is the missing information
answer :
MPL = ( 1 - ∝ ) Y/L
MPK = ( ∝ ) Y/K
Explanation:
Given that : y = AK^∝ L^1-∝
The marginal product of labor can be expresses as :
MPL = dy/dL = AK^∝ ( 1 - ∝ ) L^ 1-∝-1
= ( 1 - ∝ ) [ A K^∝ L^-∝ ]
hence MPL = ( 1 - ∝ ) Y/L
The marginal product of capital can be expressed as :
MPK = A ∝ K^∝-1 L^ 1-∝
= ∝/K [ A k^∝ L^1-∝
= ∝/K * Y ∴ MPK = ( ∝ ) Y/K

During the middle years of last decade, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar has declined against the currencies of its major trading partners. You would expect this to result in a corresponding increase in U.S. dollar denominated import prices from those trading partners. U.S. dollar import prices, however, often rise less than the increase in the currency value of the exporter. Why
Answer:
Because there are other factors that influence the weakening or strengthening of the dollar, not just the dollar exchange rate in relation to the exchange rates of other countries' currencies.
Explanation:
Although the United States has registered increases in the trade deficit, that is, when the country imports more goods and services from abroad than it exports, there are other factors that determine whether the country's currency is valued or not. In the case of the dollar, its value has not decreased despite the fall in the exchange rate of the dollar in relation to the currencies of its main trading partners due to the fact that the dollar is the main reserve currency in the world, which means that the dollar is the fashion of commercial transaction in the world, therefore its value is not lost in relation to other currencies, since several important transactions in the world such as gold and oil commodities are traded in dollars.
There is also the fact that the US attracts a lot of international investment for US Treasury bills, which helps to strengthen the dollar.

Calculate the cash dividends required to be paid for each of the following preferred stock issues: Required: The semiannual dividend on 6% cumulative preferred, $62 par value, 8,200 shares authorized, issued, and outstanding. The annual dividend on $2.25 cumulative preferred, 130,000 shares authorized, 78,000 shares issued, 68,900 shares outstanding. Last year's dividend has not been paid. The quarterly dividend on 10.0% cumulative preferred, $90 stated value, $106 liquidating value, 78,000 shares authorized, 67,600 shares issued and outstanding. No dividends are in arrears.
Answer:
Preferred dividend calculation:
= Percentage return * Par Value * number of shares
a. The semiannual dividend on 6% cumulative preferred, $62 par value, 8,200 shares authorized, issued, and outstanding.
= 6% * 62 * 8,200 * 1/2 years
= $15,252
b. The annual dividend on $2.25 cumulative preferred, 130,000 shares authorized, 78,000 shares issued, 68,900 shares outstanding. Last year's dividend has not been paid.
In this case, last year's dividend was not paid and this is a cumulative preferred stock so the dividend will be accrued from last year and paid this year.
= Preferred dividend * 2 years
= (2.25 * 68,900 shares outstanding) * 2
= $310,050
c. The quarterly dividend on 10.0% cumulative preferred, $90 stated value, $106 liquidating value, 78,000 shares authorized, 67,600 shares issued and outstanding. No dividends are in arrears.
= 10% * 90 * 67,600 * 1/4 years
= $152,775

Determine which one of these three portfolios dominates another. Name the dominated portfolio and the portfolio that dominates it. Portfolio Blue has an expected return of 13 percent and risk of 17 percent. The expected return and risk of portfolio Yellow are 19 percent and 15 percent, and for the Purple portfolio are 18 percent and 22 percent. multiple choicePortfolio Purple dominates portfolios Blue and Yellow.Portfolio Blue dominates portfolios Yellow and Purple.Portfolio Yellow dominates portfolios Blue and Purple.
Answer: Yellow dominates portfolios Blue and Purple.
Explanation:
Portfolio Yellow has a higher expected return than either portfolio Blue or Portfolio Purple which means that if we were evaluating the portfolios on return alone, Portfolio Yellow would dominate the other two.
However, we need to adjust for risk. The portfolio with the lowest standard deviation is the less riskier one of the three. That portfolio is Yellow which means that Yellow has both a higher expected return and a lower risk. It would therefore dominate the rest.
Residents of poor countries tend to have fewer automobiles per capita because Group of answer choices lower per capita real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates allow for less spending on automobiles. residents of poor countries generally prefer to walk. tax rates are higher in poor countries, which leaves less money to spend on cars. residents of poor countries tend to live on farms, where cars are unnecessary. residents of wealthy countries have automobiles provided to them by the government.
Answer:
lower per capita real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates allow for less spending on automobiles.
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.
Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country.
Generally, the Gross Domestic Products (GDP) of a country's economy gives an insight to the social well-being of the country, such as;
Adjusting the Real gross domestic product (Real GDP) for price level changes by using a price index. This simply means, Real GDP is adjusted for inflation to measure the value of goods and services produced by a country in a specific period of time.
Mathematically, [tex]{Real GDP}=\frac{\text{Nominal GDP}}{\text{GDP deflator}}[/tex]
Hence, residents of poor countries tend to have fewer automobiles per capita because lower per capita real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates allow for less spending on automobiles.

Determine the total incremental cost of making 70,000 units of RX5. 2. Determine the total incremental cost of buying 70,000 units of RX5. 3. Should the company make or buy RX5
Question Completion:
Haver Company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 70,000 units of RX5 follows.
Direct materials $4.00
Direct labor 8.00
Overhead 9.00
Total costs per unit $21.00
Answer:
Haver Company1. The total incremental cost of making 70,000 units of RX5 is:
= $1,029,000.
2. The total incremental cost of buying 70,000 units of RX5 is:
= $1,400,000.
3. The company should make RX5. Buying 70,000 units of RX5 will cost the company $371,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Variability of costs: 100%
Direct materials $4.00 100% = $4.00
Direct labor 8.00 100% = 8.00
Overhead 9.00 30% = 2.70
Total costs per unit $21.00 $14.70
Fixed cost:
Overhead = $6.30 ($9.00 * 70%)
Offer from an outside supplier to supply 70,000 units of RX5 at $20.00 per unit
Total incremental cost of making 70,000 units of RX5 = $1,029,000 (70,000 * $14.70)
The total incremental cost of buying 70,000 units of RX5 at $20,000 is:
= $1,400,000 (70,000 * $20.00)
Difference = $371,000 ($140,000 - $1,029,000)

Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $1,708,000. The firm will raise the $1,708,000 in capital by issuing $750,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 11.1%, $78,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 12.2%, and $880,000 of equity at a cost of 14.7%. The firm faces a tax rate of 40%. What will be the WACC for this project
Answer:
11.06%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What will be the WACC for this project
First step is to calculate the Weight of Debt
Weight of Debt = $750,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Debt = 0.4391
Second step is to calculate the Weight of Preferred Stock
Weight of Preferred Stock = $78,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Preferred Stock = 0.0457
Third step is to calculate the Weight of Equity
Weight of Equity = $880,000 / $1,708,000
Weight of Equity = 0.5152
Fourth step is to calculate After Tax Cost of Debt
After Tax Cost of Debt = 11.1% * (1 – 0.40)
After Tax Cost of Debt = 6.66%
Now let calculate WACC using this formula
WACC = (Weight of Debt * After Tax Cost of Debt) + (Weight of Preferred Stock * Cost of Preferred Stock) + (Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity)
Let plug in the formula
WACC = (0.4391 * 0.0666) + (0.0457 * 0.1220) + (0.5152 * 0.1470)
WACC = 0.02924406+0.0055754+0.0757344
WACC =0.1106*100
WACC =11.06%
General Motors Corporation reported the following information in its 10-K report:
Inventories at December 31 ($ millions) 2008 2007
Productive material, work in process, and supplies $4,849 $6,267
Finished product, service parts, etc. 9,426 10,095
Total inventories at FIFO 14,275 16,362
Less LIFO allowance (1,233) (1,423)
Total automotive and other inventories, less allowances $13,042 $14,939
The company reports its inventory using the LIFO costing method during 2007 and 2008.
Required:
a. At what dollar amount are inventories reported on its 2008 balance sheet?
b. At what dollar amount would inventories have been reported in 2008 if FIFO inventory costing had been used?
Answer:
General Motors Corporation
a) Inventories are reported on its 2008 balance sheet at $13,042.
b) Inventories would have been reported on its 2008 balance sheet at $14,275 if FIFO inventory costing had been used.
Explanation:
a) Data and Analysis:
Inventories at December 31 ($ millions) 2008 2007
Productive material, work in process, and supplies $4,849 $6,267
Finished product, service parts, etc. 9,426 10,095
Total inventories at FIFO 14,275 16,362
Less LIFO allowance (1,233) (1,423)
Total automotive and other inventories, less allowances $13,042 $14,939
b) LIFO = Last-in, First-out. This inventory method assumes that items that were brought into the store last were the first to be sold. This presupposes that the cost of goods sold will be determined by the most recent items, while the ending inventory will be determined by the latter items.
c) FIFO = First-in, First-out: This is the opposite of LIFO. The inventory method assumes that items that were bought first would be the first to be sold. This method presupposes that the cost of goods sold will be determined by the first items in store, while the ending inventory will be determined by the cost of the most items.
