Climate Change
Please mark Brainliest
Explanation:
(a) Climate has always been an important issue for the world, the emission of toxic gasses effects the ozone layer which causes climate change, if the situation is continued the climate change can become severe and unbearable.
(b) - Emission of toxic gases from industries
- Cutting of forests
- Polluting water by disposing waste in water
- High carbon Emission by cars, buses
- Not planting trees
(c)
- High carbon Emission by cars, buses
The cars should semi annually be checked for its carbon emission and only healthy cars and buses should be allowed to be operated.
The cars should be annually checked for carbon emission and the higher the rate of carbon emission the more tax percentage to be paid by the owner of the car/bus, this will encourage the owners to maintain their cars.
(This tax law is practiced by UK)
- Polluting water by disposing waste in water
The waste by Industries should not be disposed in water, instead there should be such machinery which can convert the waste into something usable say for example the machine converts the waste into plastic bricks which can be used to make houses for poor people.
amilton Company applies manufacturing overhead costs to products based on direct labor hours. The company estimates manufacturing overhead cost for the year to be $252,000 and direct labor hours to be 20,000. Actual overhead and actual direct labor hours for the year were $265,000 and 22,200 hours, respectively. Required: 1. Compute over- or underapplied overhead. 2a. Which accounts will be affected by the over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead
Answer:
a) $ 13000 under applied
b) Cost of goods sold $ 13,000 Debit
Factory Overhead $ 13000 Credit
Explanation:
Estimated Manufacturing overhead $252,000
Actual overhead $265,000
Estimated Direct labor hours 20,000
Actual direct labor hours 22,200
Actual overhead-Estimated Manufacturing overhead= $265,000 -$252,000
= $ 13000 under applied
When actual overhead is greater than estimated overhead then it under applied and if estimated overhead is greater than actual it is over applied.
Accounts affected by over and under applied overhead are cost of goods sold and work in process accounts.
The under applied overhead is debited to cost of goods sold account and Factory Overhead is credited to ensure the transfer of the remaining part of the factory overhead.
Similarly over applied overhead is credited to cost of goods sold account and Factory Overhead is debited to ensure the removal of the additional part of the factory overhead from cost of goods sold.
The entry in the above example would be
Cost of goods sold $ 13,000 Debit
Factory Overhead $ 13000 Credit

Beans Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $162,000, variable manufacturing overhead of $2.80 per direct labor-hour, and 60,000 direct labor-hours. Recently, Job K818 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job 10 Total direct labor-hours 50 Direct materials $ 920 Direct labor cost $ 1,400 The total job cost for Job K818 is closest to:
Answer:
Total cost= $2,595
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead cost= $162,000
Variable manufacturing overhead of $2.80 per direct labor-hour
Estimated direct labor hours= 60,000
Job K818:
Number of units in the job 10
Total direct labor-hours 50
Direct materials $920
Direct labor cost $1,400
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (162,000/60,000) + 2.8
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5.5
Now, we can calculate the total cost for Job K818:
Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
Total cost= 920 + 1,400 + 5.5*50
Total cost= $2,595

If you stop and take the time to ask yourself if you are being realistic about
your skills, perceptions, and judgements, you are more likely to avoid which
bias?
hindsight bias
escalation of commitment
overconfidence bias
Previous
Next
The correct answer is Overconfidence bias
Explanation:
Overconfidence bias is the result of an excessive and unrealistic estimation of one's skills, knowledge, ideas, etc even to the point the individual considers himself better than others or does not have an objective perception about himself. This type of bias can lead to negative consequences, for example, by overestimating his ability to pass a test a student might choose not to study at all and then fail the test. Moreover, this can be avoided by assessing realistically one's skills, judgments, etc. According to this, the type of bias that can be avoided is overconfidence bias.
The stock of Smashburger Inc. is currently trading at a price of $40. Smashburger is expected to pay a dividend of $3.00 per share one year from now (t = 1) and then the dividend is expected to grow at a constant growth rate gL. Assuming that the market is in equilibrium, the risk free rate of return is 5.2%, the market risk premium is 6%, and that the beta of Smashburger is 0.8, what is the long run growth rate gL?
Answer:
g or gL = 0.025 or 2.5%
Explanation:
The constant growth model of DDM is used to calculate the price of a stock whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate. 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 = D1 / r - g
Where,
D1 is the dividend expected for the next periodr is the required rate of returng is the constant or long term growth rateFirst we need to calculate the value of r. We will use the CAPM equation to calculate r.
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterpM is the market risk premiumr = 0.052 + 0.8 * 0.06
r = 0.1 or 10%
As we already know the P0, r and D1, we will input these values in the formula of price under constant growth model to calculate teh value of g or gL.
40 = 3 / (0.1 - g)
40 * (0.1 - g) = 3
4 - 40g = 3
4 - 3 = 40g
1 / 40 = g
g = 0.025 or 2.5%
The A. J. Croft Company (AJC) currently has $200,000 market value (and book value) of perpetual debt outstanding carrying a coupon rate of 6 percent. Its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are $100,000, and it is a zero-growth company. AJC's current cost of equity is 8.8 percent, and its tax rate is 40 percent. The firm has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding selling at a price per share of $60.00.
1. What is AJC's current total market value and weighted average cost of capital?
2. The firm is considering moving to a capital structure that is comprised of 40 percent debt and 60 percent equity, based on market values. The new funds would be used to replace the old debt and to repurchase stock. It is estimated that the increase in riskiness resulting from the leverage increase would cause the required rate of return on debt to rise to 7 percent, while the required rate of return on equity would increase to 9.5 percent. If this plan were carried out, what would be AJC's new WACC and total value?
3. Now assume that AJC is considering changing from its original capital structure to a new capital structure with 50 percent debt and 50 percent equity. If it makes this change, its resulting market value would be $820,000. What would be its new stock price per share?
4. Now assume that AJC is considering changing from its original capital structure to a new capital structure that results in a stock price of $64 per share. The resulting capital structure would have a $336,000 total market value of equity and $504,000 market value of debt. How many shares would AJC repurchase in the recapitalization?
Answer:
current market value = $800000, WACC = 7.5%new WACC = 7.38%, Total value of firm = $ 813,008.13stock price per share = $62.004750 sharesExplanation:
1) Calculate AJC's current total market value and weighted average cost of capital
current market value = value of equity + value of debt
= ( 10000 * $60 ) + $200000
= $800000
Weighted average cost of capital = ( weight of equity * cost of equity ) + ( weight of debt * cost of debt * ( 1 - tax rate )
= (75% * 8.8% ) + (25% * 6% * 0.6 ) = 7.5%
2) what would be AJC's new WACC and total value
WACC = ( weight of equity * cost of equity ) + ( weight of debt * cost of debt * ( 1 - tax rate )
= ( 60% * 9.5% ) + ( 40% * 7% * 0.6 ) = 7.38%
Total value of the firm =
= ( Cash flow after tax / WACC )
= (( 100000 * ( 1-40%)) / 7.38%
= 100000 * 0.6 / 7.38% = $ 813,008.13
3) Calculate the new stock price per share
new stock price = ( value of equity + change in debt ) / original number of outstanding shares
value of equity = weight of equity * firm value
change in debt =( weight of debt * firm value ) - initial debt value
Hence new stock price =
( 50% *$820000) + (( 50% * $820000)- $200000)) / 10000
= $62.00
4) calculate how many shares AJC would repurchase in the recapitalization
= original shares - Remaining shares
= 10000 - 5250 = 4750 shares
while ;
Remaining shares = value of equity / stock price = $336000 / $64 = 5250
original shares = 10000
Carter Pearson is a partner in Event Promoters. His beginning partnership capital balance for the current year is $55,700, and his ending partnership capital balance for the current year is $62,700. His share of this year's partnership income was $5,950. What is his partner return on equity
Answer:
10.05%
Explanation:
Carter Pearson is a partner in event promoters
His beginning partnership balance is $55,700
His ending partnership balance is $62,700
His share of this year's partnership income is $5,950
Therefore his partner return on equity can be calculated as follows
= $5,950/$55,700+$62,700/2
= $5,950/$59,200
= 0.10050 × 100
= 10.05%
Hence his partner return on equity is 10.05%
Department E had 4,000 units in Work in Process that were 40% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $12,500. 14,000 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $28,700. 15,000 units were completed during the period, and 3,000 units were 75% 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 conversion if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories was:
Answer:
Total equivalent unit = 19,650
Explanation:
To apportion cost between work in progress and completed units in a particular period, we use equivalent units. Equivalents units are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion cost between completed units and work in progress
Equivalent Units = Degree of Completion × Units of inventory
Under the first in first out(FIFO) method, to account for the units of work completed the opening inventory are separated and distinguished from the units newly introduced in the period.
Another principle under this method is that only the percentage of work yet to be completed on the units of opening are done in the current period
Fully worked = 14,000- 3,000 = 11,000
The fully worked represents units of inventory started this current period and completed in the same period
Item Units Working Equivalent unit
Opening inventory 4,000 60%× 4,000 2,400
Fully worked 15,000 100% × 15,000 15,000
Closing inventory 3,000 75% × 3,000 2250
Total equivalent unit 19,650
Total equivalent unit = 19,650
Assume that your aunt sold her house on December 31, and to help close the sale she took a second mortgage in the amount of $10,000 as part of the payment. The mortgage has a quoted (or nominal) interest rate of 12%; it calls for payments every 6 months, beginning on June 30, and is to be amortized over 10 years. Now, 1 year later, your aunt must inform the IRS and the person who bought the house about the interest that was included in the two payments made during the year. (This interest will be income to your aunt and a deduction to the buyer of the house.) To the closest cent, what is the total amount of interest that was paid during the first year
Answer:
Total interest paid during the first year: $1,183.69
Explanation:
First, we need to know the installment amount:
[tex]PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\[/tex]
PV 10,000.00
time 20
rate 0.06
[tex]10000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-20} }{0.06} = C\\[/tex]
C $ 871.85
now we calcualte the interest and amortization made in the first payment:
interest: 10,000 x 6% = 600
Amortization 871,85 - 600 = 271,85
Principal at second installment:
10,000 - 271.85 = 9,728.15
Interest 9,728.15 x 0.06 = 583,69
Total interest: 583,69 + 600 = 1.183,69
Which is considered to be an economic resource by economists?
A. Rent
B. Money
C. labor
Answer:
C. labor
Explanation:
there are four economic resources or factors of production. They are :
1. Land are natural resources used to produce goods and services e.g. gold mine

The supply of seats for an economics class at 10 a.m. is the same as the supply of seats for the same class at noon. Every student who wants to attend this class at noon can, but there is a shortage of seats in the 10 a.m. class. If tuition does not vary by time of day, it follows that the demand for the 10 a.m. class is __________ the demand for the noon class.
Answer:
The answer is "greater then"
Explanation:
It supplies the economic seat at 10 a.m. or afternoon is identical. It implies sufficient seating resources were able to meet demands around midday, and not enough seating was available to meet that request at 10 a.m.
It remembers at 10 a.m and even at noon, there are many similar amounts of tickets, which implies that a 10 a.m. class prices are higher than the noon class requirement.
. Discuss and Implement the Price Adjustment Strategies in current market. Apply each strategy with 3 examples along with picture. (10 Marks) (200 Words)
Answer:
There are many different price adjustment strategies which can be implemented in the current market.
Explanation:
Psychological pricing:
Psychological pricing is a strategy in which the price of a product is displayed with mostly one cent difference so the whole number shown is less by $1 and this difference can get higher if the price of the product is more.
Example 1: The price for a toy in a toy shop is $4.99, if rounded this will be $5 but the whole number visible is $4.
Example 2: The price of a laptop is $193, this again is nearly $200 but the price is reduced by $7 in order to influence their customers into buying the product.
Example 3: The price of a car is $35,995, this again is about $36,000 but the buyer may be influenced by this technique and result in purchasing the product with such price.
Geographical Pricing:
Geographical pricing is a strategy where different prices are charged in different outlets, this strategy is made keeping in mind the purchasing power of the locality, if the local people can pay higher price for a product then the price is high there but same product may have a lower price in an area where people can not pay high price.
Example 1: Price of a T-shirt is $15 in a posh area while the price of the same T-shirt is $5 in an area with poor locality.
Example 2: Price of a hair brush is $10 in a poor area while the same brush is available in a posh area at a rate of $35.
Example 3: Price for a food item is $6 in a restaurant in posh area while the same burger is available for $3 in a restaurant in a poor area.

Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always performed so profitably. In 2010, an auction house sold a painting at auction for a price of $1,130,000. Unfortunately for the previous owner, he had purchased it three years earlier at a price of $1,710,000. What was his annual rate of return on this painting
Answer:
rate of interest = -12.90%
Explanation:
The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value * (1 + interest rate)^number of years
$1,130,000 = $1,710,000 × (1 + interest rate)^3
0.660819 = (1 + interest rate)^3
0.8710 = 1 + interest rate
So, the rate of interest is
rate of interest = -0.128981
rate of interest = -12.90%

uction Services started the year with total assets of and total liabilities of . The revenues and the expenses for the year amounted to and , respectively. During the year, the company did not issue any common stock, but it distributed dividends of . Calculate Dynamic's net income for the year.
Answer: $20,000
Explanation:
Net Income is the amount from revenue that the company made over expenses. It is therefore;
= Revenue - Expenses
= 110,000 - 90,000
= $20,000
Note: Dividends are not considered in the calculation of Net Income as they are not expenses.
One of the most important assumptions behind the calculation of quick ratio is that: The firm’s accounts receivables can be collected and converted into cash within the time period for which credit was granted The firm’s inventories are highly liquid and can be sold quickly with minimal loss of value to assist in the settlement of the firm’s financial obligations The firm’s accounts receivables will be collected late (after the expiration of the credit period) or are uncollectible
Answer:
The firm’s accounts receivables can be collected and converted into cash within the time period for which credit was granted
Explanation:
The calculation of the Quick Ratio is done with this formula:
Quick Ratio = ( Current Assets - Inventories ) / Current liabilities.
As we can see, inventories are substracted from the calculation, because, despite being classified as a current asset, they are not so easy to sell off (in other words, inventories are not that liquid).
Accounts receivable are included in the calculation. This is because the formula assumes that receivables can be collected in the same period that the liabilities are due.
The quick ratio is also known as the Acid Test.
Spruce Inc. completed Job No. A20 during 2020. The job cost sheet listed the following: Job No. A20 Costs for 5000 units produced: Direct materials $30,000 Direct labor $45,000 Manufacturing overhead applied $20,000 Units sold 2,000 units How much is the cost of the finished goods on hand at the end of the period from this job?
Answer: $57,000
Explanation:
Cost of finished goods on hand at end of period = Goods on hand * Unit Cost
Goods on hand = Units Produced - Units sold
= 5,000 - 2,000
= 3,000 units
Unit Cost = Total Cost / Units Produced
= ( Direct materials + Direct Labor + Manufacturing overhead)/ Units produced
= ( 30,000 + 45,000 + 20,000) / 5,000
= $19
Cost of finished goods on hand at end of period = 3,000 * 19
= $57,000

(a) What was the company’s earnings per share for each year?
Answer:

Earnings per share = ( Net Income - Preferred dividends) / Weighted average number of shares
Weighted average number of shares = (Beginning share + Ending shares ) / 2
= (78,630,000 + 71,772,000) / 2
= $75,201,000
Earnings per share = 69,184,000 / 75,201,000
= $0.92
2022
Weighted average number of shares = (Beginning share + Ending shares ) / 2
= (71,772,000 + 70,000,000) / 2
= $70,886,000
Earnings per share = 85,062,000 / 70,886,000
