,Answer:
-Marcus is owed something by Super Corp because he relied reasonably and to his detriment on Super Corp's offer.
Explanation:
Employment contracts can be written, oral, or implied and each of these are binding to some extent.
In the given instance it is required that employment should be written in the state where Super Corp operates.
So Marcus will not be able to compel them to give him a job as the offer was made and accepted orally.
However the offer resulted in him quitting his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and heading to the state where Super Corp was headquartered.
He relied on the offer to his detriment of losing his current job, so Super Corp owes him for the damages incurred

Of these sales, 60% were cash sales, and the balance was credit sales. G. The business paid $9,700 cash for office furniture. What are the total liabilities at the end of September, 2013
Answer:
ABC Services
The total liabilities at the end of September, 2013
= $9,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Capital contribution = $23,500
Equipment = $11,500
Cash payment for equipment = $2,500
Note payable on equipment = $9,000
Insurance expense paid = $1,350
Utility expense paid = $980
Rent paid = $2,000
Sales = $12,000
Cash Sales = $7,200 (60% of $12,000)
Credit Sales = $4,800 (40% of $12,000)
Office furniture paid = $9,700
Therefore, total liabilities at the end of September, 2013 = $9,000. This represents the note payable for the office equipment purchased in B.
Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company by selling the company to the government.
True
False
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.
Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.
Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of trademarks, copyright and patents.
In this scenario, Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company.
Since Gidgit is patented it cannot be sold to the government because it is a registered intellectual property that cannot be used or sold without the approval or consent of the owner.

Coral: Additional common stock of $140,000 was issued, but no dividends were paid.
Daffodil: Additional common stock of $140,000 was issued and dividends of $60,000 were paid.
Answer:
Amber
Change in stockholders' equity = $580,000 - $230,000 = $350,000
No additional shares issued, so net income = $350,000
Blue
Change in stockholders' equity = $580,000 - $230,000 = $350,000
No additional shares issued, but dividends paid for $60,000, so net income = $410,000
Coral
Change in stockholders' equity = $580,000 - $230,000 = $350,000
Additional shares issued for $140,000, so net income = $210,000
Daffodil
Change in stockholders' equity = $580,000 - $230,000 = $350,000
Additional shares issued for $140,000, dividends paid for $60,000, so net income = $270,000
A company purchased $10,700 of merchandise on June 15 with terms of 2/10, n/45, and FOB shipping point. The freight charge, $850, was added to the invoice amount. On June 20, it returned $1360 of that merchandise. On June 24, it paid the balance owed for the merchandise taking any discount it is entitled to. The cash paid on June 24 equals:______
a. $10,003.
b. $9,224.
c. $11,550.
d. $11,210.
e. $11,11Ο.
Answer:
a. $10,003.
Explanation:
The terms of 2/10, n/45 means that there is a 2% discount if the payment is made within 10 days of the sales date and rhe net credit period is 45 days.
Calculate total invoice value
Total Invoice value = Merchandise value + Freight Charges = $10,700 + $850 = $11,550
As the payment is made on June 24 within the discount period, the discount will be availed
Discount = ( Purchases made - Returns ) x 2% = ( $10,700 - $1,360 ) x 2% = $186.80 = $187
Now the Amount paid
Amount Paid = Invoice value - Return - Discount avaialed = $11,550 - $1360 - 187 = $10,003
Company C had the following investment. Help them determine the financial statement implications of the investment. Tax rate 21% Estimated tax payment 21,000 Investment cost and ending fair values for 20X1 and 20X2: 20X1 20X2 Cost 100,000 100,000 Fair value 110,000 134,000 Total gain 10,000 34,000 20X1 income statement information: Sales 1,670,200 Expenses 1,536,600 Assuming the investement is short-term, what is the ending balance of taxes payable on the 20X1 balance sheet?
Answer:
$9,156
Explanation:
Income = (Sales-expenses) + $10,000
Income = ($1,670,200 - $1,536,600) + $10,000
Total income = $143,600
Tax = Income * Tax Rate = $143,600 * 0.21 = $30,156
Now, total taxes payable is $30,156,but they estimated that payment to be $21,000, So company C has reserved $21,000 for future tax payments
So, Net deferred tax payable = $30,156 - $21,000 = $9,156. Therefore, ending balance of taxes payable on the 20X1 balance sheet is $9,156.
Martha is a regional supervisor who earns a base salary of $34,400 per year plus a 1% commission on all service contracts that she sells to existing customers. The company pays salaries on a semi monthly basis and contract commissions on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, Martha had made $38,200 in contract sales for the third quarter. What will be her gross pay on her next pay date
Answer:
Martha gross pay on her next pay date is $1,815.33.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Number of semi months in a year = 24
Semi monthly salary = Salary per year / Number of semi months in a year = $34,400 / 24 = $1,433.33
Commission from contract sales for the third quarter = Contract sales for the third quarter * Commission percentage = $38,200 * 1% = $382
Martha gross pay on her next pay date = Semi monthly salary + Commission from contract sales for the third quarter = $1,433.33 + $382 = $1,815.33
Therefore, Martha gross pay on her next pay date is $1,815.33.

1. Calculate the cost of goods available for sale and
2. the units available for sale for this four week period.
Answer:
1. $3,180
2. 50 units
Explanation:

Week 1 purchase 10 units*$61=$ 610
Week 2 purchase 10units* $62=$ 620
Week 3 purchase 10 units*$65= 650
Week 4 purchase 10units*$70= $700
Cost of goods available for sale =$3,180
($600+$610+$620+$650+$700)
Therefore the cost of goods available for sale will be $3,180
2. Calculation for the units available for sale for this four week period.
Units available for sale =10 units+10 units+10 units+10 units+10 units
Units available for sale=50 units
Therefore the units available for sale for this four week period will be 50 units

Answer:
Sunland Company
The amount of interest cost to be capitalized during 2020 is:
= $948,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of purchased land = $2,680,000
Construction expenditures:
Date Expenditures:
January 1, 2020 $ 1,780,000
April 1, 2020 2,530,000
May 1, 2020 4,490,000
June 1, 2020 4,720,000
Total expenditure $13,520,000
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $4,300,000
Debts:
January 1, 2020, 9%, 3-year note payable = $3,650,000
January 1, 2020, 12%, 6-year note payable balance = $1,400,000
Interests capitalization:
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $451,500 ($4,300,000 * 10.5%)
3-year note payable = $328,500 ($3,650,000 * 9%)
6-year note payable balance = $168,000 ($1,400,000 * 12%)
Total interest to be capitalized = $948,000
Lloyd is the CFO for a firm that uses ISOs as part of its executive compensation plan. He receives $150,000 annually, paid semimonthly, in base salary plus 25 shares of the firm's stock per month. The stock is omitted from gross pay calculations and is valued at $52.50 per share and he may exercise his option within five years at $0.10 per share. What is Lloyd's gross pay for mid-October
Answer:
Lloyd
Gross pay for mid-October is $6,250.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Annual base salary = $150,000
Bi-weekly base salary = $6,250 ($150,000/24)
ISO = 25 shares per month valued at $52.50 per share = $1,312.50
Bi-weekly ISO = $656.25 ($1,212.50/2)
Option exercise price = $0.10 per share
b) ISOs mean incentive stock options, which are performance-based compensations to company executives in the form of shares.
c) The calculation of the mid-October gross pay is based on the division of Lloyd's annual base salary by 12 months * 2 (24 mid-months).

So, the amount i will receive as the next interest payment is $247.50.
Two different suppliers are competing to supply a particular part for a new Boeing airliner. The Japanese supplier charges J(n) dollars for n parts whereas the Italian supplier charges I(n) dollars for n parts. (a) Which supplier should be used to supply a large number of parts if
Answer:
Italian Supplier will be chosen to supply a Large number of parts.
Explanation:
Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. However I have found the missing part of this question and will be using that to solve for the sake of understanding and concept.
Data Missing:
Which supplier should be used to supply a large number of parts if:
Lim (n--> infinity) [tex]\frac{J(n)}{I(n)} = 0?[/tex] Now, this condition was missing in the question, now we can solve this question.
Solution:
Here, we can see that, the limit of function is approaching to infinity, which indicates (n--> infinity) we want to make larger number of parts. So, we also know that Limit value of this function = 0.
It means that, numerator must be smallest and the denominator must be largest to get the value = 0. And, here denominator = I(n) means Italian Supplier.
Otherwise, if we put larger values of numerator then, it is not possible to get the value of 0.
So, if we choose Italian supplier for a large number of parts, then the value of the Limit Function will be zero for it is approaching infinity.

Frankenberger Company, which uses a weighted-average process-costing system, had 7,000 units in production at the end of the current period that were 60% complete. Material A is introduced at the beginning of the process; material B is introduced at the end of the process; and conversion cost is introduced evenly throughout manufacturing. Equivalent-unit production costs follow. Material A: $12.50 Material B: $2.00 Conversion cost: $6.60 The cost of the company's ending work-in-process inventory is:
Answer:
the ending work in process inventory is $115,220
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of the company ending work in process inventory is as follows:
Material A introduced at the starting = $12.5
Conversion Cost = $6.6 × 60% = $3.96
Total cost is
= $12.5 + $3.96
= $16.64
Now
WIP ending inventory is
= $16.64 × 7,000 units
= $115,220
Hence, the ending work in process inventory is $115,220
The cost of the company's ending work-in-process inventory is: $115,220.
First step is top calculate the conversion cost
Conversion Cost = $6.6 × 60%
Conversion cost= $3.96
Second step is to calculate the Total cost
Total cost= $12.5 + $3.96
Total cost= $16.64
Third step is to calculate the ending work-in-process inventory
Ending work-in-process inventory= $16.64 × 7,000 units
Ending work-in-process inventory= $115,220
Inconclusion the cost of the company's ending work-in-process inventory is: $115,220.

The purpose of growth accounting is to estimate the contribution each component of the aggregate production function makes to overall economic growth. estimate the growth rate of an economy. use the change in total factor productivity to estimate the growth rate of an economy. estimate the extent to which growing costs are affecting the overall performance of an economy.
Answer:
Estimate the contribution each component of the aggregate production function makes to overall economic growth
Explanation:
Growth accounting is a quantitative tool used to estimate the contribution each component of the aggregate production function makes to overall economic growth.
Growth accounting was first developed by Robert Solow.
The growth accounting equation is :
Capital Growth*(Weight of Capital's Contribution) + Labour Growth*(Weight of Labour's Contribution) + Technological Advancement
In 2018, internal auditors discovered that Fay, Inc., had debited an expense account for the $4,600,000 cost of a machine purchased on January 1, 2015. The machine's useful life was expected to be 20 years with no residual value. Straight-line depreciation is used by Fay. The journal entry to correct the error will include a credit to accumulated depreciation of:_____.
Answer:
$230,000
Explanation:
Depreciation Charge (Straight line) = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated Useful Life
therefore,
2018 Depreciation Charge = ($4,600,000 - $ 0) ÷ 20
= $230,000
The journal entry to correct the error will include a credit to accumulated depreciation of $230,000
Sailmaster makes high-performance sails for competitive windsurfers. Below is information about the inputs and outputs for one model, the Windy 2000. (Please note that the second part of this question is different from other examples found online).
Units sold 1,217
Sales price each $1,700
Total labor hours 46,672
Wage rate $12/hour
Total materials $60,000
Total energy $4,000
Calculate:
I. the productivity in sales revenue/labor expense
(I think that I have done this part correctly; part II is what I don't understand)
(1217 x 1700) / (46672 x 12) =
2068900 / 560064 = 3.69
II. the total productivity.
I understand that total productivity could be expressed in units sold, or dollars of sales; please show both.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The productivity in terms of sales revenue / labor expense:
Sales revenue = Units sold × sales price
= 1,217 × $1,700
= $2,068,900
Labor expense = Total labor hours × wage rate
= 4,6672 × $12
= $560,064
Now sales revenue to labor expense is
= $2,068,900 ÷ $560,064
= 3.69
2. Total productivity
As we know that
Total productivity =Output ÷ (labor + material + energy)
= ($2,068,900) ÷ ($560,064 + $60,000 + $4,000)
= $2,068,900 ÷ $624,064
= $3.315
Consider a firm making production decisions in the short run. Select the statement(s) that must be correct. Choose one or more: A. Average total cost will always exceed average variable cost. B. Average total cost cannot decline as output increases, at any level of output. C. Average fixed cost cannot increase with output, at any level of output. D. Average variable cost is always above the average fixed cost. E. Average variable cost cannot decline with output, at any level of output.
Answer:
A). Average total cost will always exceed average variable cost.
C). Average fixed cost cannot increase with output, at any level of output
Explanation:
In the short term, a company that increases its profits will increase production if the marginal cost is less than the marginal income. Reduction in production if marginal cost exceeds marginal income. Continue production when the average variable cost is less than the unit. so correct answer is A and COver the past decade, many American candy companies have opened factories in Mexico and Canada to produce candy. The companies, including Hershey Company, Brach's Confections, and Ferrara Pan, then ship candy back to the United States for sale. Although lower wages in Mexico might explain part of this move, wages in Canada are comparable to U.S. wages. Price floors (price supports) for the sugar industry encouraged American candy companies to move production out of the United States. Describe how the enactment of a sugar price floor impacted the market for candy in the United States, resulting in the movement of manufacturing.
Answer:
The sugar industry in the US is very powerful and has been able to establish trade barriers and import quotas that affect domestic prices. Sugar prices in the US are extremely high compared to prices in any other country, including Canada, Mexico, China, European nation, i.e. American sugar is the most expensive in the world.
Besides imposing trade barriers, the government also imposes a binding price floor. Binding price floors always result in deadweight losses since the quantity demanded is lower than equilibrium. This is why American candy manufacturers move their production overseas. the highest cost in the candy industry is actually sugar, and wherever they decide to relocate their factories it will always be cheaper.
predetermined overhead rate includes: Multiple Choice estimated total manufacturing overhead cost in the numerator. only the fixed portion of the estimated manufacturing overhead cost in the numerator. only the variable portion of the estimated manufacturing overhead cost in the numerator. estimated total manufacturing overhead cost in the denominator.
Answer:
estimated total manufacturing overhead cost in the numerator.
Explanation:
Predetermined overhead rate is calculated to apply manufacturing overhead to products. It is usually calculated before production begins. Using estimated overhead cost and the estimated allocation base
The formula is:
Predetermined over head rate = (estimated total manufacturing overhead cost) ÷ (estimated total amount of the allocation base)
The allocation base are the units that are considered in calculating predetermined overhead rate. For example labour hours can be used, machine hours, and direct materials
