Answer: b. The leaders should find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed
Explanation:
With regards to the information given in the question, the best option will be for the leaders to find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed.
In every organization, communication is key between the management and the employees. In this case, the leaders should inform the employees about the reason that they are taking the decision and how the decision will have an impact on the organization.
Taking legal steps against the employees or laying them off isn't the right thing to do. The employees should be made to see the value in the changes to be made.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
At the present time, Perpetualcold Refrigeration Company (PRC) has 15-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1,000 that are outstanding. These bonds have a current market price of $1,329.55 per bond, carry a coupon rate of 12%, and distribute annual coupon payments. The company incurs a federal-plus-state tax rate of 35%. If PRC wants to issue new debt, what would be a reasonable estimate for its after-tax cost of debt (rounded to two decimal places)
Answer:
Perpetualcold Refrigeration Company (PRC)
The reasonable estimate for PRC's after-tax cost of debt is:
= 0.08.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of 15-year noncallable bonds outstanding = $1,000 per bond
Current market price per bond = $1,329.55
Coupon rate of bonds = 12% per annum
Federal-plus-state tax rate = 35%
Cost of new debt = $120 per annum ($1,000 * 12%)
After-tax cost of debt = $120 (100% - 35%)
= $120 * 65%
= $78
= $78/$1,000 = 0.078
= 0.08
b) The cost of PRC's new debt is the calculated rate that the company will pay on its new debt. The major differentiating factor between the cost of debt and the after-tax cost of debt is the deduction of interest expense. In PRC's capital structure decisions, determining the cost of debt, especially the after-tax cost of debt, and comparing it with the cost of equity involve some rigorous financial computations.
When Crossett Corporation was organized in January, Year 1, it immediately issued 4,000 shares of $50 par, 6 percent, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $20 par common stock. Its earnings history is as follows: Year 1, net loss of $35,000; Year 2, net income of $125,000; Year 3, net income of $215,000. The corporation did not pay a dividend in Year 1.
Required:
a. How much is the dividend arrearage as of January 1, Year 1?
b. Assume that the board of directors declares a $25,000 cash dividend at the end of year 1 (remember that the year 1 and year 2 preferred dividends are due). How will the dividend be divided between the preferred and common stockholders?
Answer:
a. $0
The company was organized in January, Year 1. They do not have to pay dividends because the company just started operations. The cumulative dividends are only to be paid at the end of the period so there is no dividend arrear here.
b. Preferred shareholders are meant to get:
= 4,000 shares * 50 * 6%
= $12,000 per year
As they are owed $12,000 from the first year and are now owed for the second, the dividends they will get is:
= 12,000 + 12,000
Preferred Dividends = $24,000
Ordinary shareholders get what is left:
= 25,000 - 24,000
= $1,000

A company produces two products Product A selts for \$25 variable costs of 15and requires hours produce B for 35; variable costs of $20 and requires 5 machine hours to produce 40, 000mn machine hours are availableThe company can all can make of either Which statement is true?
Answer:
8000 units of product A and 4,800 units of product B should be produced.
Explanation:
Item A sells for $25 yet cost $15 to create. It implies there is a commitment edge of $10 per unit (i.e $25-$15)
since it takes 2hours to create item A we have 10/2= 5 items each machine hour.
$10 × 8000 units = $80,000 (in benefits)
then again, if item B is to be sold at $35 per unit yet has a creation cost of $20, it implies a commitment edge of $15(i.e $35-$20) is implanted in each $35 deal. On the off chance that the organization produces 4,800 units of this item B, it implies that the organization has
$15 × 4,800 units = $72, 000
Since the point of the organization's creation is to make benefit, it is extremely certain that item An ought to be delivered contrasted with item B since it has a higher commitment edge

Cooper and Brandy are married and file a joint income tax return with two separate Schedule Cs. Cooper is an independent security specialist who spent $410 on uniforms during the year. His laundry expenses for the uniforms were $82 for this year, plus $62 for altering them. Brandy works as a drill press operator and wears jeans and a work shirt on the job, which cost $160 this year. Her laundry costs were $48 for the work clothes. Brandy is also required by state regulators to wear safety glasses and safety shoes when working, which cost a total of $80.
How much is their total deduction on their Schedule Cs for special clothing and uniforms?
Answer:
Special clothing and uniform involves only the clothes that are required by work specifics. General clothing such as jeans or work shirt does not belong to this category. Also, the laundry for general clothing is also not covered.
Calculations :
Cooper's uniforms during the year = $410
Cooper's laundry expenses for the uniforms = $82 + $62 for altering = $144
Brandy's safety glasses and safety shows when working = $80
Therefore, the total deduction is
= $410 + $144 + $80
= $634
Given the description of the firm below, decide whether it applies to monopolistic competition, perfect competition, or both.
a. a firm that produces with excess capacity in the long run
b. a firm that has market power
c. a firm that sets greater than marginal
d. a firm that earns zero economic profit in the long
Answer:
Perfect Competition
d. a firm that earns zero economic profit in the long
In the long run, firms will keep entering and exiting the market in a perfect competition such that there will be no economic profit to be gained.
Monopolistic Competition
a. a firm that produces with excess capacity in the long run
b. a firm that has market power
c. a firm that sets price greater than marginal cost.
Monopolistic competition has excess capacity in the long run because their prices are set at a higher level than the marginal revenue. They are therefore producing more goods than they are selling leading to excess capacity.
Monopolistic competition has some form of market power as well because they get to set their own prices.

Answer:
c. It depends on the appraisal problem. The appraiser should apply all appropriate units of comparison, explain differences in wide variation in the results, and choose the most reliable unit.
Explanation:
The three (3) main methods used for the valuation or appraisal of real-estate properties are;
I. Income approach.
II. Cost approach.
III. Sales comparison approach.
A sales comparison approach can be defined as a real-estate appraisal technique that is typically based on comparing a property to other recently sold real-estate properties with similar characteristics. Thus, this appraisal method or technique requires that the real-estate property being appraised should be in current use and fall within the same area or locality as the other recently sold real-estate properties.
In the sales comparison approach, the appraised property should mimic the market behavior of other real-estate properties sold recently.

Explanation:
Marjorie Meadow was directing a movie that included a scene featuring an off-duty police officer who is in a convenience store when an armed robbery takes place. Meadow had arranged with a local convenience store to close the store at 11:00 p.m. so that the filming could take pace, and had a large film crew and actors assembled to shoot the scene. At midnight Barbara Baxter had been driving on the highway on which the convenience store was located when she ran out of gas. Seeing the lights of the convenience store in the distance she decided to walk toward it with a gas container she found in the trunk in the hope of getting a gallon of gas. As she got closer Baxter thought the convenience store was unusually busy, but she was relieved to see it was still open. Before she recognized that it was a movie scene, an actor came running out of the convenience store waving a pistol. Baxter was extremely frightened. If Baxter sued Meadow for assault, would she prevail?
a. Yes, if Meadow was reckless in causing her to be frightened;
b. Yes, but only if it were substantially certain that Baxter would experience apprehension of an imminent harmful or offensive contact;
c. No, if Baxter was unreasonable in failing to recognize that it was a movie set;
d. No, if Meadow thought that Baxter was just part of the movie set.
Answer:
b. Yes, but only if it were substantially certain that Baxter would experience apprehension of an imminent harmful or offensive contact;
Explanation:
I'm not really sure how someone cannot tell a film is being shot, but if Barbara Baxter can prove that she actually thought her life was in danger by the actor running with the fake gun, then she could sue Meadow and the production team. This is rather unusual since filming a scene requires a lot of people, but maybe they were all inside.
2 Jodi owns 112 shares of stock selling for $16.20. How many more shares can she purchase after receiving a dividend of $0.80 por share? Round your answer to a whole number.
Answer:
The number of new shares = 6
Explanation:
Dividend is the proportion of profit paid by a company to its shareholder as a form of return on their investment. Another form of return on share investment is the capital gain; which is the difference between the selling price of a share now and its cost when it was purchased.
For Jodi, we need to first calculate the amount of dividends earned on the total shares she owns. And then divide the result by the current purchase price of a share to arrive at the number of shares she can buy more. This is done as follows:
Total dividends = 112× 0.80 = $89.6
Current price of a share = $16.20
THe number of shares that can be purchased= 89.6/16.20=5.5
The number of new shares = 6

Instructions:
Prepare a monthly manufacturing overhead flexible budget for 2017 for the expected range of activity, using increments of 1,000 direct labor hours.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Variable overhead:
Indirect labor $1.00
Indirect materials 0.70
Utilities 0.40
Total fixed overhead= 4,000 + 1,200 + 800= $6,000
In the relevant rage, the fixed costs remain constant. Only the variable cost change with production on a total basis.
7,000 Units:
Indirect labor= 1*7,000= 7,000
Indirect materials= 0.70*7,000= 4,900
Utilities= 0.40*7,000= 2,800
Total= 14,700
Total fixed overhead costs= 6,000
Total overhead= $20,700
8,000 Units:
Indirect labor= 1*8,000= 8,000
Indirect materials= 0.70*8,000= 5,600
Utilities= 0.40*8,000= 3,200
Total= 16,800
Total fixed overhead costs= 6,000
Total overhead= $22,800
9,000 Units:
Indirect labor= 1*9,000= 9,000
Indirect materials= 0.70*9,000= 6,300
Utilities= 0.40*9,000= 3,600
Total= 18,900
Total fixed overhead costs= 6,000
Total overhead= $24,900
10,000 Units:
Indirect labor= 1*10,000= 10,000
Indirect materials= 0.70*10,000= 7,000
Utilities= 0.40*10,000= 4,000
Total= 21,000
Total fixed overhead costs= 6,000
Total overhead= $27,000

Sports Company makes snowboards, downhill skis, cross-country skis, skateboards, surfboards, and in-line skates. The company has found it beneficial to split operations into two divisions based on the climate required for the sport: Snow Sports and Non-Snow Sports. The following divisional information is available for the past year:
Sales Operating Income Total Assests Current Liabilities
Snow Sports $57,00,000 1010,500 4,300,000 450,000
Non- Snow Sport 8500000 1332500 6500,000 750,000
Required:
a. Calculate each division's ROI.
b. Top management has extra funds to invest. Which division will most likely receive those funds? Why?
c. Can you explain why one division's ROI is higher? How could management gain more insight?
Answer:
Sports Company
a. Division's ROI:
SnowSports = 23.5%
Non-SnowSport = 20.5%
b. Naturally, management will invest in Division SnowSports. The company earns more returns on its investment in the division.
c. One division's ROI on investment because it earned more returns from the division when compared with its investment. This shows that SnowSports is more efficient than the other division in the use of resources.

a. Case A: Market interest rate (annual): 4 percent
Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075
Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14
r or YTM = 4% * 6/12 = 0.02 or 2%
Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.02)^-14) / 0.02] + 502500 / (1+0.02)^14
Bond Price = $563,333.90007 rounded off to $563,333.90
b. Case B: Market interest rate (annual): 6 percent
Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075
Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14
r or YTM = 6% * 6/12 = 0.03 or 3%
Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.03)^-14) / 0.03] + 502500 / (1+0.03)^14
Bond Price = $502500
c. Case C: Market interest rate (annual): 8.5 percent.
Coupon Payment (C) = 502500 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $15075
Total periods remaining (n) = 7 * 2 = 14
r or YTM = 8.5% * 6/12 = 0.0425 or 4.25%
Bond Price = 15075 * [( 1 - (1+0.0425)^-14) / 0.0425] + 502500/(1+0.0425)^14
Bond Price = $437232.16025 rounded off to $437232.16

Cook Company processes and packages frozen seafood. The year just ended was Cook's first year of business and they are preparing financial statements. The immediate issue facing Cook is the treatment of the direct labor costs. Cook set a standard at the beginning of the year that allowed two hours of direct labor for each unit of output. The standard rate for direct labor is $27 per hour. During the year, Cook processed 60,000 units of seafood for the year, of which 4,800 units are in ending finished goods. (There are no work-in-process inventories). Cook used 123,500 hours of labor. Total direct labor costs paid by Cook for the year amounted to $3,087,500.
Required:
a. What was the direct labor price variance and the direct labor efficiency variance for the year?
b. Assume Cook writes off all variances to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the entries Cook would make to record and close out the variances.
c. Assume Cook prorates all variances to the appropriate accounts. Prepare the entries Cook would make to record and close out the variances.
Answer:
Cook Company
a. The direct labor price variance and the direct labor efficiency variance for the year:
Direct labor price variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours
= $247,000 Favorable
Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard rate
= $94,500 Unfavorable
b. If all variances are written off to the Cost of Goods Sold:
Journal Entries:
Debit Work in Process $247,000
Credit Direct labor variance $247,000
To record the favorable direct labor price variance.
Debit Direct labor variance $94,500
Credit Work in Process $94,500
To record the unfavorable direct labor efficiency variance.
Debit Direct labor variance $152,500
Credit Cost of Goods Sold $152,500
To close the direct labor price variance.
c. The appropriate accounts are not indicated, though they should be Raw materials, Work in Process, and Cost of Goods Sold. However, the ratios are not given for prorating.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Standard direct labor hours per unit = 2
Standard rate per direct labor hour = $27
Production units = 60,000
Ending Finished goods = 4,800
Cost of goods sold units = 55,200
Actual direct labor hours used = 123,500
Standard hours = 120,000 (2 * 60,000)
Actual direct labor costs = $3,087,500
Actual direct labor price = $25 ($3,087,500/123,500)
Standard direct labor costs = $3,240,000 (120,000 * $27)
a. The direct labor price variance and the direct labor efficiency variance for the year:
Direct labor price variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) * Actual hours
= ($25 - $27) * 123,500
= $247,000 Favorable
Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) * Standard rate
= (123,500 - 120,000) * $27
= $94,500 Unfavorable
b. If all variances are written off to the Cost of Goods Sold:
Analysis of Journal Entries:
Work in Process $247,000 Direct labor variance $247,000
Direct labor variance $94,500 Work in Process $94,500
Direct labor variance $152,500 Cost of Goods Sold $152,500
($247,000 - $94,500)
In order to safeguard the public health, environment, public beaches, water quality, and economy of south San Diego County, California, and Tijuana, Mexico, federal agencies in the United States and Mexico developed four alternatives for treating wastewater prior to discharge into the ocean. The project will minimize untreated wastewater flows that have caused chronic and substantial pollution in the Tijuana River Valley, the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve, coastal areas used for agriculture and public recreation, and areas designated as critical habitat for federal- and state-listed endangered species. For the costs and benefits estimated, which alternative should be selected on the basis of a B/C analysis at 6% per year and a 40-year project period?
Pond System Expand Plan Advanced Prima Partial Secondary

M&O cost, $/year 5.5 5.3 2.1 4.4
Benefits, $/year 11.1 12.0 2.7 8.3
Answer:
Following are the solution to these question:
Explanation:
Follows are the AW calculation to the total cost and add according to the rank of the increasing costs.
[tex]= 58 (0.06646) + 5.5\\= \$ 9.35[/tex]
[tex]AWexpand = 76(\frac{A}{P}, 6\%, 40) + 5.3[/tex]
[tex]= 2 (0.06646) + 2.1\\\\= \$ 2.23\\\\[/tex]
[tex]AWprimary = 2(\frac{A}{P}, 6\%, 40) + 2.1\\\\[/tex]
[tex]= 2 (0.06646) + 2.1\\\\= \$ 2.23\\\\[/tex]
[tex]AW partial = 48(\frac{A}{P}, 6\%, 40) + 4.4\\\\[/tex]
[tex]= 48 (0.06646) + 4.4\\\\= \$ 7.59[/tex]
Calculating the benefits of the directly estimate on the DN of the first alternative and rank as follows: DN, Primary, Partial, Pond, Expand
[tex]Primary \ DN: \frac{\Delta B}{с} = \frac{2.7}{2.23}= 1.21 \ eliminate\ DN\\\\Partial \ Primary: \frac{\Delta B}{с} =\frac{(8.3-2.7)}{(7.59-2.23)}= 1.04 \ eliminate \ Primary\\\\Pond \ Partial: \frac{\Delta B}{с} = \frac{(11.1 - 8.3)}{(9.35-7.59)}= 1.59 \ eliminate \ Partial\\\\Expand \ Pond: \frac{\Delta B}{с} = \frac{(12.0 - 11.1)}{(10.35 - 9.35)}= 0.90\ eliminate\ Expand\\\\[/tex]

Joyce works hard and puts in many extra hours. For this, she can anticipate a pay raise, a promotion, or an expanded sales territory. However, getting a promotion is most important to Joyce. According to the useful guidelines of the ____ theory, Jim, her manager, must recognize that (1) she is putting in hard work and long hours to obtain a promotion, (2) what motivates Joyce will change over time, and (3) he must clearly show Joyce how to attain the desirable reward.
Answer:
Expectancy theory
Explanation:
Expectancy theory states that when an individual is faced with different choices they will be motivated in a certain way in choosing a particular option based on what they expect to be the result of the choice.
So behaviour is affected by perceived result or consequence of a particular choice.
In the given scenario Joyce works hard and puts in many extra hours, and getting a promotion is most important to Joyce.
So because of her expectations that manager must recognise that:
(1) she is putting in hard work and long hours to obtain a promotion,
(2) what motivates Joyce will change over time (if she does not get the promotion), and
(3) he must clearly show Joyce how to attain the desirable reward.

The units of an item available for sale during the year were as follows: Jan 1 Inventory 22 units at 127 April 15 Purchase 138 units at 117 September 9 Purchase 27 units at 125 There are 42 units of the item in the physical inventory at December 31. The periodic inventory system is used. Determine the inventory cost using the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
Answer:
$5,134
Explanation:
LIFO assumes that the units to arrive last are sold first Therefore inventory value is based on earlier (old) prices.
Step 1 : Calculate units sold
Units sold = Units Available for sale - units in inventory
= 145 unit
Step 2 : Determine Inventory Value
Inventory value = 22 units x $127 + 20 units x $117
= $5,134
Conclusion
the inventory cost using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) is $5,134
