Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
We need to calculate the production required for each month:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
April= 560 + (640*0.3) - 168= 584
May= 640 + (590*0.3) - 192= 625
June= 590 + 680*0.3 - 177= 617
Now, we can prepare the direct material budget:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
April (pounds):
Production= 584*6= 3,504
Desired ending inventory= (625*6)*0.3= 1,125
Beginning inventory= (1,051)
Total pounds= 3,578
Total cost= 3,578*4= $14,312
May (pounds):
Production= 625*6= 3,750
Desired ending inventory= (617*6)*0.3= 1,110.6
Beginning inventory= (1,125)
Total pounds= 3,735.6
Total cost= 3,735.6*4= $14,942.4
June:
Production= 617*6= 3,702
Desired ending inventory= (590*6)*0.3= 1,062
Beginning inventory= (1,110.6)
Total pounds= 3,653.4
Total cost= 3,653.4*4= $14,613.6

"What is the allowable MACRS depreciation on Evergreen’s property in the current year if Evergreen does not elect out of bonus depreciation?"
Answer:
the list of assets is missing, so I looked for a similar question and found the following:
MACRS depreciation for machinery is 10 years, and the depreciation % for the first year using the half year convention is 10% ⇒ depreciation expense = $70,000 x 10% = $7,000
MACRS depreciation for computer equipment is 5 years, and the depreciation % for the first year using the half year convention is 20% ⇒ depreciation expense = $10,000 x 20% = $2,000
MACRS depreciation for the delivery truck is 5 years, and the depreciation % for the first year using the half year convention is 20% ⇒ depreciation expense = $23,000 x 20% = $4,600
MACRS depreciation for furniture is 7 years, and you can use the mid-quarter convention since furniture represents more than 40% of total assets placed in to service. The depreciation % for the first year, second quarter using the mid-quarter convention is 17.85% (the half year convention depreciation rate is 14.29%) ⇒ depreciation expense = $150,000 x 17.85% = $26,775
total depreciation expense = $40,375
You are an administrator working for the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, a state administrative agency. You are tasked with implementing a new and controversial pollution control rule. The media will be watching closely to ensure all required procedures are followed. Local citizens are requesting that the rule be implemented immediately and without a hearing because, they argue, the need for controls are so acute. A California environmental group is requesting that you consider the impacts of the rule on their state. A manufacturing lobbyist has asked you to decrease relevant pollution standards in the rule by 90%, even though you have significant evidence that current pollution levels are dangerously high. Assuming that Maine administrative law, including the Administrative Procedure Act, is substantially the same as federal law discussed in this chapter, evaluate your responses to these requests in light of rules you need to follow. You want to avoid having your rule held unlawful and set aside by a court.
Answer:
the answer to this question has been well explained. Thank you!
Explanation:
the environmental protection department has to apply the pollution control rule through a good examination of the effect it would have on all stakeholders if it is passed.
local citizens: for this group the best way to respond to their request is by making sure that the rule is applied in a timely manner. they have to be given the assurance that environmental implications would be reduced to the highest possible extent by this rule and that this rule would prove to be effective.
california environmental group: the request of this group is valid and they have to get the assurance that the effect of rule on the state have been studied well enough and that policies to lower environmental effects would be put in place as much as possible.
manufacturing lobbyist: theirs is a critical request. passing the rule would obviously increase necessary pollution standards. to ensure the lobbyist is made awarebof this, administrative agency has to have a meeting with the lobbyist and the person has to be made aware of the new position and current standards that are obtainable to organizations that are in manufacturing, as well the opportunities that are open to them. it is good to do this clearly in other to avoid any future confrontations of any kind.

The contract drawings prepared by the architect are generally not specific enough to facilitate accurate fabrication of the materials involved. Therefore, to produce the necessary materials for a project, subcontractors and suppliers must provide ________________________ to amplify/clarify the contract drawings.
Answer:
construction specifications
Explanation:
Construction contracts must always include construction specifications. These specifications refer to what materials, installations and specialized labor is required to perform correctly the building process.
Architects are paid for their blueprints, i.e. their designs. Sometimes an architect can recommend certain materials that fit his/her design, but the contractor is responsible for carrying on the actual construction.
The contractor has to specify which materials will be used and how the construction process will be carried out. E.g. it is not the same to build a house with luxurious materials like expensive floors and ceilings than a normal house.
If annualized interest in the U.S. and France are 9% and 13%, respectively, and the spot value of the French franc is $0.1109, then at what 180-day forward rate will interest rate parity hold
Answer:
0.1130 FF/$
Explanation:
Spot value = 0.1109 FF/$
Interest rate in US for 180 days = 9%*180/365 = 0.044384
Interest rate in France for 180 days = 13%*180/365 = 0.06411
Forward rate = Spot value*(1+Interest rate in US)/(1+Interest rate in France)
Forward rate = 0.1109*(1+0.06411)/(1+0.044384)
Forward rate = 0.1109*(1.06411/1.044384)
Forward rate = 0.1109* 1.018888
Forward rate = 0.1130 FF/$
The fact that generally accepted accounting principles allow companies flexibility in choosing between certain allocation methods can make it difficult for a financial analyst to compare periodic performance from firm to firm. Suppose you were a financial analyst trying to compare the performance of two companies. Company A uses the double-declining-balance depreciation method. Company B uses the straight-line method. You have the following information taken from the 12/31/2021 year-end financial statements for Company B:
Income Statement
Depreciation expense $12,500
Balance Sheet
Assets:
Plant and equipment, at cost $125,000
Less: Accumulated depreciation (50,000)
Net $75,000
You also determine that all of the assets constituting the plant and equipment of Company B were acquired at the same time, and that all of the $125,000 represents depreciable assets. Also, all of the depreciable assets have the same useful life and residual values are zero.
Required:
a. In order to compare performance with Company A, estimate what B's depreciation expense would have been for 2021?
b. If Company B decided to switch depreciation methods in 2021 from the straight line to the double-declining-balance method, prepare the 2021 journal entry to record depreciation for the year
Answer:
a. Company B's depreciation expense for 2021 is $12,800
b. Accumulated Depreciation (Dr.) $23,800
Plant and equipment (Cr.) $23,800
Explanation:
The depreciation expense of 2021 will be $12,800. The cost of plant and equipment is $125,000.
Depreciation 2018 : $125,000 * 10% = 12,500 * 2 = $25,000
2019 : $125,000 - $25000 = $100,000 * 10% * 2 = $20,000
2020: $100,000 - $20,000 = $80,000 * 10% * 2 = $16,000
2021 : $80,000 - $16,000 = 64,000 * 10% * 2 = $12,800
Due to use, wear and tear, or obsolescence, the monetary worth of an object decreases with time. Depreciation is the term used to describe this reduction.
A.Company B's depreciation expense for 2021 is $12,800
B. Accumulated Depreciation (Dr.) $23,800
Plant and equipment (Cr.) $23,800
Solution:-
The depreciation expense of 2021 will be $12,800. The cost of plant and equipment is $125,000.
Depreciation 2018 : $125,000 * 10% = 12,500 * 2 = $25,000
2019 : $125,000 - $25000 = $100,000 * 10% * 2 = $20,000
2020: $100,000 - $20,000 = $80,000 * 10% * 2 = $16,000
2021 : $80,000 - $16,000 = 64,000 * 10% * 2 = $12,800

DelRay Foods must purchase a new gumdrop machine. Two machines are available. Machine 7745 has a first cost of $8,000, an estimated life of 10 years, a salvage value of $1,000, and annual operating costs estimated at $0.01 per 1,000 gumdrops. Machine A37Y has a first cost of $8,000, a life of 10 years, and no salvage value. Its annual operating costs will be $260 regardless of the number of gumdrops produced. MARR is 6%/year, and 30 million gumdrops ware produced each year.
Based on an internal rate of return analysis, which machine should be recommended?
Answer:
I would recommend Machine 7745
Explanation:
Machine 7745
initial outlay = $8,000
operational costs per year = $300
depreciation cost per year = $700
salvage value (at year 10) = $1,000
total costs per year (1 - 9) = $1,000
total costs year 10 = $0
using an excel spreadsheet, the IRR = 2%. Since you are analyzing costs only, not incremental revenue, then you must select the project with the lowest IRR.
Machine A37Y
initial outlay = $8,000
operational costs per year = $260
depreciation cost per year = $800
total costs per year (1 - 10) = $1,060
using an excel spreadsheet, the IRR = 4%

Determine the costs to be assigned to the units transferred out and in process. (Round unit costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25 and final answers to 0 decimal places.)Transferred Out $Ending work in process $
Answer:
1. Materials = 46,180 and Conversion Costs = 39,700
2.Materials = $5.11 and Conversion Costs = $10.66
3.Transferred Out = $614,715 and Ending work in process = $44,467
Explanation:
First, calculate the number of units completed and transferred to finished goods
Number of units completed and transferred to finished goods = Beginning Inventory Units + Units Started during the Period - Ending Inventory Units
Therefore,
Units completed and transferred = 1,880 + 44,300 - 7,200
= 38,980
Calculation of Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials and Conversion Costs
1. Materials
Ending Work In Process (7,200 × 100%) = 7,200
Completed and Transferred (38,980 × 100%) = 38,980
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials = 46,180
2. Conversion Costs
Ending Work In Process (7,200 × 10%) = 720
Completed and Transferred (38,980 × 100%) = 38,980
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials = 39,700
Calculation of the unit costs for materials and conversion costs for the month.
Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units
1. Materials
Unit Cost = ($21,900 + $214,080) ÷ 46,180
= $5.11 (2 decimal places)
2. Conversion Costs
Unit Cost = ($37,162 + $127,600 + $258,440 ) ÷ 39,700
= $10.66 (2 decimal places)
3. Total Unit Cost
Total Unit Cost = Materials + Conversion Costs
= $5.11 + $10.66
= $15.77
Calculation of costs to be assigned to the units transferred out and in process.
Transferred Out = Units Completed and Transferred × Total Unit Cost
= 38,980 × $15.77
= $614,715
Ending work in process = Materials Cost + Conversion Costs
= ($5.11 × 7,200) + ($10.66 × 720)
= $44,467

On December 31, 2020, Reagan Inc. signed a lease with Silver Leasing Co. for some equipment having a seven-year useful life. The lease payments are made by Reagan annually, beginning at signing date. Title does not transfer to the lessee, so the equipment will be returned to the lessor on December 31, 2026. There is no purchase option, and Reagan guarantees a residual value to the lessor on termination of the lease. Reagan's lease amortization schedule appears below:
Decrease in Outstanding
Dec. 31 Payments Interest Balance Balance
2020 $410,442
2020 $74,700 $74,700 335,742

2025 $74,700 5,825 68,875 28,208
2026 $29,900 1,692 28,208 0
What is the amount of residual value guaranteed by Reagan to the lessor?
Answer: $29,900
Explanation:
Residual value guaranteed is the amount that the lessee promises to pay in the last year including the repayment and the interest payment.
= $28,208 + 1,692
= $29,900

1. Define a red ocean vs. a blue ocean strategy.
2. For one of the products in your business simulation (action cameras for UAV drones), discuss whether you are in a red ocean or a blue ocean.
3. Identify and discuss the blue ocean four actions framework.
4. For one of the products in your business simulation (action cameras for UAV drones), discuss the components of a current value cure and a new value curve.
Answer:
1. Define a red ocean vs. a blue ocean strategy.
A red ocean strategy occurs in a marketplace that is saturated with more or less similar products.
A blue ocean strategy occurs in a marketplace that does not have market saturation. Where there are no close substitute products.
2. For one of the products in your business simulation (action cameras for UAV drones), discuss whether you are in a red ocean or a blue ocean.
Action cameras are part of a red ocean strategy because the market for action cameras is saturated, with many competitors providing a similar product.
UAV drones are part of a blue ocean strategy because the product offers an unique service, and there are very few companies that provide this good.
3. Identify and discuss the blue ocean four actions framework.
The four actions are: raising quality standards to a new level, creating new quality standards, reducing some factors below quality standards, and eliminate some factors that are commonly used in the industry.
4. For one of the products in your business simulation (action cameras for UAV drones), discuss the components of a current value cure and a new value curve.
UAV Drones are part of the blue ocean strategy, and as a result, they have a new value curve. However, the market could become part of a red ocean strategy if enough competitors enter the market.
This is why UAV Drones producers should cotinually revise the four actions frameworks in order to develop the drones and keep the competitive advantage, and the blue ocean enviroment.

In the long run, a decrease in the money supply will
decrease real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
decrease the price level.
increase real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
increase the price level.
Answer:
decrease real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Explanation:
GDP represents the total value of a country output. The calculation of GDP using the expensive method is identical to that of the aggregate demand. Aggregate demand is the total of government spending, consumer spending, investment, and net exports. Therefore, GDP and aggregate demand are the same.
A decrease in the money supply leads to firms and households having less money to spend. Reduction in disposable income results in reduced consumer spending, which has adverse effects on aggregate demand. Therefore, reduced money supply results in a decline in consumer spending and reduced aggregate demand, leading to a reduction in a country's output.

155 million people were working in the US in 2016. If 42% of all people working were baby boomers, how many were working in 2016? If 15% of the baby boomers retire within 10 years, how many jobs will this represent from 2016 employment?
Answer:
65,100,100 baby boomers were working: 6.3 %
Explanation:
In 2016, 155,000,000 people were working.
42 percent were baby boomers,
The actual number of baby boomers were
= 42/100 x 155,000,000
=0.42 x 155,000,000
=65,100,100 baby boomers were working
If 15 percent of baby boomers were to retire in 10 years
The number ow retirees will
=15% of 65,100,100
=15/100 x 65,100,100
=0.15 x 65,100,100
=9, 765,015
As a percentage of the number of people working in 2016
= 9, 765,015/155,000,000 x 100
=0.0630000 x 100
=6.3 %

A project has annual depreciation of $25,500, costs of $101,900, and sales of $150,500. The applicable tax rate is 34 percent. What is the operating cash flow
Answer:
$48,600
Explanation:
Operating Cash flow is the cash generated from operating/trading activities of a firm. It is very important to include only the cash transactions and ignore any non -cash items.
Thus,
Operating Cash flow = $150,500 - $101,900
= $48,600
Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $8.2 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.93 million per year for 6 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.67% and a cost of equity of 11.31%. The debt-equity ratio is 0.62 and the tax rate is 21%. What is the net present value of the project
Answer:
$347,941.73
Explanation:
First, find the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). WACC is the minimum return that a project must offer before it can be accepted. It is thus used to discount the future cash flows of a project to its Present Value.
WACC = Ke × E/V + Kd × D/V
where,
Ke = cost of equity
= 11.31%
E/V = Market Weight of Equity
= (1/1.62 × 100)
= 61.73%
Kd = After tax cost of debt
= 5.67% × ( 1 - 0.21)
= 4.48 %
D/V = Market Weight of Debt
= 0.65/1.65 × 100
= 39.40%
Therefore,
WACC = 11.31% × 0.6773 + 4.48 % × 0.3940
= 9.43 %
Next, find the net present value of the project using a financial calculator as follows :
CFj -$8,200,000
CFj $1,930,000
CFj $1,930,000
CFj $1,930,000
CFj $1,930,000
CFj $1,930,000
i/yr = 9.43 %
Shift NPV = $347,941.73
How has the introduction of these markets, technologies and resources affected the lifestyle of the people of Cuba
Answer:
he economy of Cuba is a largely planned economy dominated by state-run enterprises. The government of Cuba owns and operates most industries and most of the labor force is employed by the state. Following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the ruling Communist Party of Cuba encouraged the formation of worker co-operatives and self-employment. However, greater private property and free market rights were granted by the 2019 Constitution.[10][11] It has also been acknowledged that foreign market investment in various Cuban economic sectors increased before 2019 as well.[12][13]
As of 2000, public-sector employment was 76% and private-sector employment (mainly composed of self-employment) was 23% - compared to the 1981 ratio of 91% to 8%.[14] Investment is restricted and requires approval by the government. The government sets most prices and rations goods to citizens. In 2016 Cuba ranked 68th out of 182 countries, with a Human Development Index of 0.775, much higher than its GDP per capita rank (95th).[15]As of 2012, the country's public debt comprised 35.3% of GDP, inflation (CDP) was 5.5%, and GDP growth was 3%.[16]
Housing and transportation costs are low. Cubans receive government-subsidized education, healthcare and food subsidies.[17]
The country achieved a more even distribution of income after the Cuban Revolution of 1953–1959,[citation needed] which was followed by an economic embargo by the United States (1960- ). During the Cold War period, the Cuban economy was heavily dependent on subsidies from the Soviet Union, valued at $65 billion in total from 1960 to 1990 (over three times as the entirety of U.S. economic aid to Latin America), an average of $2.17 billion a year.[18] This accounted for anywhere between 10% and 40% of Cuban GDP, depending on the year.[19] While the massive Soviet subsidies did enable Cuba's enormous state budget, they did not lead to a more advanced or sustainable Cuban economy; although described by economists as "a relatively highly developed Latin American export economy" in 1959 and the early 1960s, Cuba's basic economic structure changed very little between then and 1990. Tobacco products such as cigars and cigarettes were the only manufactured products among Cuba's leading exports, and even these were produced by a preindustrial process. The Cuban economy remained inefficient and over-specialized in a few highly subsidized commodities provided by the Soviet bloc countries.[20] Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba's GDP declined by 33% between 1990 and 1993, partially due to the loss of Soviet subsidies[21] and a crash in sugar prices in the early 1990s. It rebounded in the early 2000s due to a combination of marginal liberalization of the economy and heavy subsidies from the friendly government of Venezuela, which provided Cuba with low-cost oil and other subsidies worth up to 12% of Cuban GDP annually.[22] Cuba retains high levels of healthcare and education.[23]
