With an in house training done, the employees will gain the necessary skills and experience which will be needed to carry out their jobs effectively and efficiently. Therefore, the correct option is D.
. Drayser Corporation has budgeted sales of 23,000 units, targeted ending finished goods inventory of 9,000 units, and beginning finished goods inventory of 6,000 units. How many units should be produced next year
Answer:
Production= 26,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
budgeted sales of 23,000 units, targeted ending finished goods inventory of 9,000 units, and beginning finished goods inventory of 6,000 units.
To calculate the production required, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 23,000 + 9,000 - 6,000
Production= 26,000
Singh, a consumer, leases sheet music from Tunes Inc. for a public performance. United Music Corporation, which holds a copyright on the music, sues Singh to stop the performance without a royalty payment. Singh fails to notify Tunes of the suit within a reasonable time. The lessee:_________
a. loses any remedy against the lessor for liability established in the suit.
b. can assert this failure to delay the litigation, but it is not a defense.
c. can raise the failure to notify as a defense in copyright holder’s suit.
d. can sue the lessor to recover the expenses of the suit.
Answer:
a. loses any remedy against the lessor for liability established in the suit.
Explanation:
This is because it was lessee's responsibility to inform the lessor in time.
A lessee is in contract with the lessor and is responsible for all the actions taken on behalf of the lessor with the lessor's permission.
If the lessee fails to inform the lessor in time or do any action without his permission then the lessor can sue the lessee or take any other legal action as may be required by the law against the lessee.
In breach of contract the lessee has to face the consequences and pay penalty.
Choice a is the best option.
The lessee can never sue the lessor for his illegal actions.
So option d is incorrect.
b) Delaying the litigation would do no good. It would add to his failures.
Choice c is also incorrect.

If Wolves Entertainment Company is acting in the best interests of stockholders (following the primary goal of the firm), which of the following is the optimal (best) capital structure for the firm?
A. Debt = 50%, Equity = 50%, EPS = $3.05, Stock price = $29.90, Cost of Debt = 3.5%.B. Debt = 80%, Equity = 20%, EPS = $3.28, Stock price = $29.70, Cost of Debt = 5.8%.C. Debt = 40%, Equity = 60%, EPS = $2.95, Stock price = $30.50, Cost of Debt = 3.0%.D. Debt = 60%, Equity = 40%, EPS = $3.18, Stock price = $31.20, Cost of Debt = 4.0%.E. Debt = 70%, Equity = 30%, EPS = $3.42, Stock price = $30.40, Cost of Debt = 5.0%.
Answer: D. Debt = 60%, Equity = 40%, EPS = $3.18, Stock price = $31.20, Cost of Debt = 4.0%.
Explanation:
Since the company is acting in the best interests of stockholders the optimal capital structure for the firm will be option D "Debt = 60%, Equity = 40%, EPS = $3.18, Stock price = $31.20, Cost of Debt = 4.0%".
In this case, the price is at maximum when compared to other options, therefore the value of the shareholders will be maximize.
2. The materials cost variance report for Nickols Inc. indicates a large favorable materials price variance and a significant unfavorable materials quantity variance. What might have caused these offsetting variances?
Answer:
A favorable materials price variance is caused by the amount budgeted for material prices (standard price) being higher than the actual price of the materials. This can happen as a result of increased supply of materials in the market.
An unfavorable materials quantity variance arises when the actual amount of materials used surpasses the amount of materials that was budgeted (standard materials). This can happen due to wastage and inefficiency.
These two cancel each other out because the extra material that is to be used will be acquired at the surplus price that standard price exceeds actual price by.
You have just deposited $10,000 into an account that promises to pay you an annual interest rate of 6.3 percent each year for the next 4 years. You will leave the money invested in the account and 10 years from today, you need to have $32,800 in the account. What annual interest rate must you earn over the last 6 years to accomplish this goal
Answer:
The annual interest rate you must earn over the last 6 years to accomplish this goal is 17.03%.
Explanation:
Future value after 4 years = Deposited amount * (100% + Annual interest rate for 4 years)^4 = $10,000 * (100% + 6.3%)^4 = 12,768.30
The interest rate can be calculated using the following RATE function in Excel:
Interest rate = RATE(nper,pmt,-pv,fv,type) .............(1)
Where;
nper = number of periods = number of years remaining after 4 years = 10 - 4 = 6
pmt = Annual payments = 0 (This is 0 because there is no annual payment)
pv = present value = Future value after 4 years = $12,768.30
fv = future value = The amount you need to have in the account after 10 years = $32,800
type = when payments are due (0 = end of period. 1 = beginning of period) = 0
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Interest rate = RATE(6,0,-12768.30,32800,0) .................. (2)
Inputting =RATE(6,0,-12768.30,32800,0) into a cell in an excel sheet (Note: as done in the attached excel file), the annual interest rate is obtained as 17.03%.
Therefore, the annual interest rate you must earn over the last 6 years to accomplish this goal is 17.03%.
Samuel is the managing general partner of STU, in which he owns a 25% interest. For the year, STU reported ordinary income of $400,000 (after deducting all guaranteed payments). In addition, the LLC reported interest income of $12,000. Samuel received a guaranteed payment of $120,000 for services he performed for STU. How much income from self-employment did Samuel earn from STU
Answer:
$220,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much income from self-employment did Samuel earn from STU
Using this formula
Income from self-employment =Guaranteed payment received+(Interest rate*Ordinary income)
Let plug in the formula
Income from self-employment=$120,000+(25%*$400,000)
Income from self-employment=$120,000+$100,000
Income from self-employment=$220,000
Therefore the amount of income from self-employment that Samuel earn from STU is $220,000

Assume US GAAP to answer this question. In 2017, $2 million in wages were earned and no cash wages were paid. In 2018, $8 million in wages were earned and $9 million in cash wages were paid. Cash wages were used to first pay wages earned in 2017 with the remainder used to pay wages earned in 2018. Any earned but unpaid wages will be paid during the first quarter of 2019. Using only the information provided, which of the following statements is most accurate?
a. Liabilities increased by $1.0 million in 2018
b. Liabilities increased by $3.0 million in 2018
c. Assets decreased by $5.0 million in 2018
d. Retained earnings decreased by $10.0 million in 2018
e. Retained earnings decreased by $7.0 million in 2018
Answer: a. Liabilities increased by $1.0 million in 2018
Explanation:
In 2018, $9 million was used to settle the wage debt of 2017 and the remainder was used to settle the wages in 2018.
The money remaining in cash after the wage settlement was:
= 9,000,000 - 2,000,000 - 8,000,000
= -$1,000,000
This means that $1,000,000 of wages was not settled in 2018 which means that this would have to go to the Wages Payable account to signify that the company owes wages.
This account is a liability account so liabilities in 2018 would increase by $1,000,000.
A subsidy causes a deadweight loss since people only make a purchase because the subsidy _____ the price. The amount they value the extra quantity is _____ than it costs the government to move them to buy it.
Answer: lowers; less
Explanation:
Subsidies are usually given on public goods which the government wants the public to buy more of. For this reason, these goods will cost less than they should on account of the government paying some of the cost.
The deadweight loss arises because the government is paying more than consumers would have paid in order to entice the consumers to buy the good. Essentially the cost to the government is higher than the consumer surplus which creates a deadweight loss.

Andy is driving a 20-year-old boat that he borrowed from a friend. While he's on the water, the steering system fails and the boat crashes. Subsequent investigation shows that the steering system failed as a result of corrosion. Andy sues the boat manufacturer for negligence. How strong is his negligence case against the product manufacturer
Answer:
Weak.
Explanation:
In the given scenario, the case is weak because Andy cannot sue the manufacturer company for negligence.
it is because Andy is driving a 20-year-old boat. So, Andy cannot prove that the corrosion was due to manufacturing defect. The possibility of corrosion must be the wearing or tearing away of the boat.
Normally, material corrodes if not taken care of properly or due to a long lifespan.
Therefore, the case of Andy against the product manufacturer is weak.

Explanation:
Years = 20
Compounding month = 4 (quarterly)
N is the number of compounding factors = 20 years * 4 periods per year = 80. So, the value of n in the F/A factor (for determining F/A factor the end of the 20 year period) is 80.
Principles-based standards differ from a rules-based approach because: Principles-based standards rely on bright-line concepts to apply accounting standards Rules-based standards rely on bright-line rules to apply accounting standards Principles-based standards set uniform goals for the application of accounting standards Rules-based standards form the basis of IFRS
Answer: Principles-based standards set uniform goals for the application of accounting standards
Explanation:
Rule based standards are quite rigid and as a result, set specific goals when it comes to the application of accounting standards. This is in contrast to Principles based standards that set more uniform or general goals that should be met.
This is why IFRS is preferred by most nations in the world as opposed to U.S. GAAP. IFRS gives principle based standards which allow leeway unlike U.S. GAAP which is rules based and gives little leeway in application.
On 6/30/12, a company recorded a journal entry for the coupon payment on its bond. As part of the journal entry, the company debited bonds payable. Which of the following is true regarding this journal entry?
a. The company debited Interest Expense
b. The bond was issued at a discount
c. The proceeds of the bond were less than the face value
d. The company credited Cash
e. The coupon rate is greater than the effective rate
Answer:
a. The company debited Interest Expense d. The company credited CashExplanation:
The coupon payment represents the interest payment being paid by the company on the bond. They will therefore record this coupon by debiting it to the Interest expense account as expenses are debited when they are incurred.
The same amount will be credited to the Cash account because the payment will come from the cash holdings of the company. Cash is an asset account so it is credited when it reduces.

The Quick Buck Company is an all-equity firm that has been in existence for the past three years. Company management expects that the company will last for two more years and then be dissolved. The firm will generate cash flows of $450,000 next year and $790,000 in two years, including the proceeeds from the liquidation. There are 20,000 shares of stock outstanding and shareholders require a return of 12 percent.
Required:
What is the current price per share of the stock?
Answer:
$53.09
Explanation:
Calculation to determine current price per share of the stock
First step is to determine the Dividend per share in Year 1
Using this formula
Dividend per share in Year 1 = Cash flow generated next year / Number of shares
Let plug in the formula
Dividend per share in Year 1 == $450,000 / 20,000
Dividend per share in Year 1 == $ 22.5
Second step is to determine the Dividend per share in Year 2 using this formula
Dividend per share in Year 2 = Cash flow generated in two years / Number of shares
Let plug in the formula
Dividend per share in Year 2 = $790,000 / 20,000
Dividend per share in Year 2 = $39.5
Dividend per share in Year 2 =$40 Approximately
Now let determine the Share price today using this formula
Share price today = [ Dividend in Year 1 / (1 + Required rate of return) ] + [ Dividend in Year 2 / (1 + Required rate of return)2 ]
Let plug in the formula
Share price today = [22.5 /(1+.12)]+ (40 / 1.12^2
Share price today = (22.5 /1.12) + (40 / 1.12^2)
Share price today =$20.09+(40/1.25)
Share price today =$20.09+32
Share price today = $ 53.09
Therefore current price per share of the stock
Is $53.09
Hau Lee Furniture, Inc., spends 50% of its sales dollars in the supply chain and finds its current profit of $21,000 inadequate. The bank is insisting on an improved profit picture prior to approval of a loan for some new equipment. Hau would like to improve the profit line to $26,000 so he can obtain the bank's approval for the loan. What percentage improvement is needed in the supply chain strategy for profit to improve to $26000
Answer: 7.1%
Explanation:
The cost of materials needs to reduce for the profit to increase. If the profit is to go from $21,000 to $26,000, the material cost would need to decrease by:
= 26,000 - 21,000
= $5,000
The current material cost is $70,000 so a decrease of $5,000 in percentage terms would be:
= 5,000 / 70,000 * 100%
= 7.1%
The new material cost would be:
= 70,000 - 5,000
= $65,000

A bond pays $80 per year in interest and has a $1,000 par value. The market rate of interest is 6%. What is the coupon rate for this bond
Answer:
8%
Explanation:
The coupon is the amount of periodic cash payable to bondholders which is usually a percentage of the bond's face value.
The coupon of $80 is payable annually in this case, hence, based on the face value( par value) of $1,000 per bond, the coupon rate is computed as shown thus:
annual coupon=face value*coupon rate
annual coupon=$80
face value=$1000
coupon rate=unknown
$80=$1000*coupon rate
coupon rate=$80/$1000
coupon rate=8%
impact of collusion in terms of output and price on consumers and producers
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Collusion refers to the agreements among the sellers of a particular product to either fix or increase the price and also reduce output. The main idea behind this is to increase profits and also reduce the competitiveness in such market.
Collusion can bring about high prices for the consumers and this ultimately leads to the reduction in the consumer surplus. Also, the new firms that want to enter the market may discouraged since the collusion can be an entry barrier.
