Cynthia, requested a two-week leave from her employer to go on a religious pilgrimage. The pilgrimage was not a requirement of her religion, but Cynthia felt it was a °calling from God." Will it violate Title VII if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave? Explain. (Tiano V. Dillard Department Mores, Inc, 1998 WL 117864 (9th Cir. 1998)).
Answer: No. It does not violate Title VII if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Cynthia, requested a two-week leave from her employer to go on a religious pilgrimage and that the pilgrimage was not a requirement of her religion, but Cynthia felt it was a calling from God.
Based on the scenario, Title VII is not violated if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave. According to the court, when an employee says that based on his or her religious belief, he or she is required to go to a pilgrimage, the person has to prove beyond reasonable doubt.
In this case, her church which is the Roman Catholic didn't call for a pilgrimage as it was her personal choice. Therefore, Title VII is not violated if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave.

One thousand dollars is borrowed for one year at an interest rate of 1% per month (12% compounded monthly). If the same sum of money could be borrowed for the same period at an interest rate of 12% compounded yearly, how much could be saved in interest charges?
Answer:
$6.83
Explanation:
Intereest rate = future value - present value
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r/m)^mn
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
m = number of compounding per year
$1000 compounded monthly = 1000(1.01)^12 = $1126.83
Interest = $1126.83 - $1000 = $126.83
$1000 compounded yearly = 1000(1.12) = $1120
Interest = $1120 - $1000 = $120
Amount saved on interest charges = $126.83 - $120 = $6.83
Collins Company had the following cost data available. The Collins accountant believes that direct labor hours is the correct cost driver to use to predict and manage these costs.$100,000; 15,000 direct labor hours for January$80,000; 12,000 direct labor hours for February$90,000; 14,000 direct labor hours for March$75,000; 11,000 direct labor hours for April$85,000; 12,500 direct labor hours for May$70,000; 10,000 direct labor hours for JuneUse the high-low method to compute the total amount of monthly fixed costs for Collins Company.
a) $10,000b) $0c) $15,000d) $90,000e) $60,000f) $30,000
Answer:
a) $10,000
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost by using high low method is shown below:
Before that first we have to determine the variable cost per direct labor hours which is shown below:
Variable cost per hour = (High Operating cost - low operating cost) ÷ (High labor hours - low labor hours)
= ($100,000 - $70,000) ÷ (15,000 hours - 10,000 hours)
= $30,000 ÷ 5,000 hours
= $6
Now the fixed cost equal to
= High operating cost - (High labor hours × Variable cost per hour)
= $100,000 - (15,000 hours × $6)
= $100,000 - $90,000
= $10,000
hence, the correct option is a . $10,000

Suppose that an investor with a 5-year investment horizon is considering purchasing a 7-year 9% coupon bond selling at par. The investor expects that he can reinvest the coupon payments at an annual interest rate of 9.4% and that at the end of the investment horizon 2-year bonds will be selling to offer a yield to maturity of 11.2%. What is the total return for this bond
Answer:
50.34%
Explanation:
initial investment = $1,000 (bond purchased at par value)
annual coupon = $1,000 x 9% = $90
period cash flow
year 0 -$1,000
year 1 $90
year 2 $90 + ($90 x 0.094) = $98.46
year 3 $90 + ($188.46 x 0.094) = $107.71524
year 4 $90 + ($296.17524 x 0.094) = $117.84
year 5 $90 + ($414.02 x 0.094) = $128.92
at the end of year 5, the investor will have $542.94, plus he/she will still own the bond
the price of the bond at year 5 will be:
0.112 = {90 + [(1,000 - MV)/2]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.112 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 90 + [(1,000 - MV)/2]
0.112 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 90 + 500 - 0.5MV
56 + 0.056MV = 590 - 0.5MV
0.556MV = 534
MV = 534 / 0.556 = $960.43
the investor's total return = [($542.94 + $960.43) / $1,000] - 1 = ($1,503.37 / $1,000) - 1 = 0.50337 x 100 = 50.34%

you have tickets to the 49ers game on Sunday and you have an invitation to a friends party. You cannot go to Bulls. You choose to go to the party. What is the opportunity cost? What is the risk and your decision?
It depends on the day of the party
It depends on the day of the party or wasted money generally on the tickets.
What is Opportunity cost?Opportunity cost is the worth of what you lose while picking either at least two choices.
At the point when you choose, you feel that your decision will have improved results for you paying little heed to what you lose by making it. As a financial backer, opportunity cost implies that your venture decisions will constantly have quick and future misfortunes or gains.
Opportunity cost is the misfortune you take to make an increase, or the deficiency of one increase for another increase. Consider, for instance, the decision between whether to sell stock offers now or clutch them to sell later. Opportunity cost is the benefit lost when one option is chosen over another.
The idea is valuable essentially as a suggestion to inspect all sensible options prior to pursuing a choice. For instance, you have $1,000,000 and decide to put it in a product offering that will create an arrival of 5%.
While the facts confirm that a financial backer could get any quick acquires they could have by selling right away, they miss out on any additions the venture could get them what's in store.
Therefore merely it depends upon the day of the party.

During the year, the investee reported net income of $105,000 and paid dividends of $20,000 to the investor. In addition, the investor sold inventory to the investee, realizing a gross profit of $42,000 on the sale. At the end of the year, 20% of the inventory remained unsold by the investee.Required:a. How much equity should the investor report for the year?b. What is the balance of the Equity Investment at the end of the year?c. Assume that the remaining inventory is sold in the following year and that the investee reports $150,000 of net income. How much equity income will the investor report for the following year?
Answer:
a.34,020
b.314,020
c.42,600
Explanation:
The equity method is applied when a company's ownership interest in another company is valued at 20–50% of the stock in the investee. The equity method requires the investing company to record the investee's profits or losses in proportion to the percentage of ownership
DATA
Net Income = $105,000
Investor's share = 30%
Inventory unsold = 20%
Gross profit = $42,000
Dividends = $20,000
Requirement 1
Equity to be reported = (investor's share of net income) − (Share of unrealized profit on inventory at the end)
Equity to be reported = ($105,000 × 30%) − ($42,000 × 20% × 30%)
Equity to be reported = $31,500 + $2,520
Equity to be reported = $34,020
Requirement 3
Equity investment at end of year = (Equity investment at the beginning of the year) + (Investor's share of net income) − (Dividendsdeclared)
Equity investment at end of year = $300,000 + $34,020 − $20,000
Equity investment at end of year =$314,020
Requirement 2
Equity to be reported = (Investor′ s share of net income) -(Share of unrealized profit on inventory at the year end)
Equity to be reported =($150,000×30%)−($40,000×20%×30%)
Equity to be reported =$45,000−$2,400
Equity to be reported =$42,600
