Answer: superior military technology
Explanation:
Superior military technology was a major factor in the conquest of the Americans. The Spaniard's horses and cannons got their soldiers afraid while the armor and the metal helmets the Spanish had protected them from arrows and spears.
The discontent and the division in the other party also helped the Spanish. The Spanish also seemed immune to certain diseases, which gave them the impression that their gods was more powerful.

Assume that for John Paxton, a soybean producer from Iowa, the only source of farm income is from the production of soybeans. Paxton produced 100,000 bushels of soybeans in 2014, receiving $8 per bushel. Assuming this producer had pro- duction expenses of $300,000, and assuming the CPI for 2014 was 2.00, his real farm income for 2014 was:_______ a. $250,000.b. $500,000. c. $800,000. d. can't tell; insufficient information
Answer:
A. $250,000
Explanation:
Real farm income can be calculated by dividing Nominal income by CPI for calculation data is given in the question.
DATA
Price per bushel = $8
units produced in 2014 = 100,000
Expense = 300,000
CPI = 2
Solution
Nominal income in 2014 = 8x100,000
Nominal income in 2014 = $800,000
Farm income = nominal income - expenses
Farm income = 800,000 - 300,000
Farm income = $500,000
real income = nominal income / CPI
real income = 500,000/2
real income = $250,000

Explanation:
Accel's income statement is a summary of the temporary accounts, which are not carried forward in the next accounting period. They are used to calculate the profit performance of the consulting firm. They include the revenues and the expenses incurred for generating the revenue.
Accel's statement of retained earnings shows the difference between the net income generated over the years for a business that has been in operation for years and the payouts from the net income in form of dividends to stockholders. For Maria Gomez's consulting business, the retained earnings statement shows what is remaining after paying dividend for the month of December to Gomez.
Accel's balance sheet is the final financial statement that is needed to be prepared to show the financial position of the firm. It shows what the firm owns as assets and the value that the firm owes other creditors for services not paid for or not yet rendered and the equity value for the stockholder, Maria.
One billion hours of labor are available for making products in Mandovia, and 2 billion hours of labor are available for making products in Ducennia. In a no-trade world, let’s assume that half the labor in each country gets used to make each product. Calculate the output of rotids and taurons, rounding to one decimal place.
Answer:
Mandovia
Rotid
Mandovia total labor hours is 1 billion which is to be divided equally to make one product so 500 million hours per product. It takes 50 hours to make one rotid so with 500 million;
= 500,000,000/50
= 10,000,000 rotids
Taurons
= 500,000,000/100
= 5,000,000 taurons
Ducennia
Rotids
Ducennia total labor hours is 2 billion which is to be divided equally to make one product so 1 billion hours per product. It takes 150 hours to make one rotid so with 1 billion hours will be;
= 1,000,000,000/150
= 6,666,666.7
= 6.7 million rotids
Taurons
= 1,000,000,000/20
= 50,000,000 taurons
On January 1, 2015, East Lansing, Inc, issues $2,000,000 of 10 percent, 5-year bonds that pay interest of $100,000 semiannually. The market rate is 8 percent at the time of issuance. The issue price of the bonds is:____a. $1,852.810 b. $1888,970 c. $1.999.970 d. $2,162.290
Answer:
The answer is option D
Explanation:
The bond can be issued at par, at a discount or at a premium depending on the coupon rate and the market interest. The price of the bond which pays semi annual coupon can be calculated using the formula of bond price. The formula to calculate the price of the bond is attached.
First we need to determine the semi annual coupon payment, periods and YTM.
Semi annual coupon payments = 2000000 * 0.1 * 6/12 = 100000
Semi annual periods = 5 * 2 = 10
Semi annual YTM = 0.08 * 6/12 = 0.04
Bond Price = 100000 * [(1 - (1+0.04)^-10) / 0.04] + 2000000 / (1+0.04)^10
Bond Price = $2162217.916
The price of the bond is thus $2162290 approx. The difference in answers is due to rounding off.
Telecommunications equipment manufacturers in the USA sell their products to people who live in Canada. Is Canada an export?
Answer:
FALSE
Explanation:
NO Canada is NOT an export because the Telecommunications equipment was produced in USA and not in CANADA which means that the USA is an export because USA manufactured or produced the TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT which was then sold to another country which is Canada, Based on this we can defined EXPORT as a trade that occur between two countries in which a country produced good or service in which such goods or service produced by this country is been sold to another country just as in the case of USA which produced Telecommunications equipment which was then sold to Canada which means that the USA which is the manufacturer of the Telecommunications equipment sold to Canada is the EXPORT.
Example of TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT include the following;
Routers,Telecommunication towers, Switches among other.
The Mugger sells three types of mugs, flowers, dogs, and sports. The following information is available:________.
Total Sales Volume Selling Price Variable cost per unit Total fixed costs Flowers 25,000 $20 10 Dogs 100,000 $25 20 Sports 50,000 $10 6 $500,000
REQUIRED (show all supporting calculations):________.
1. What is the breakeven point for The Mugger?
2. Would you recommend promoting the change in product mix to 4 to 2 to 1 of flower mugs, dog mugs, and sports mugs? Why?
3. An executive summary is required.
Answer:
Flowers Dogs Sports Total
sales volume 25,000 100,000 50,000
selling price $20 $25 $10
variable cost $10 $20 $6
total fixed costs $500,000
contribution margin $10 $5 $4
weighted contribution margin = [(25,000 x $10) + (100,000 x $5) + (50,000 x $4)] / 175,000 = ($250,000 + $500,000 + $200,000) / 175,000 = $5.428571
break even point in units = $500,000 / $5.428571 = 92,105.26 ≈ 92,106 units
flowers: (25/175) x 92,106 = 13,158 units
dogs: (100/175) x 92,106 = 52,632 units
sports: (50/175) x 92,106 = 26,316 units
total = 92,106 units
break even point in $
flowers: 13,158 units x $20 = $263,160
dogs: 52,632 units x $25 = $1,315,800
sports: 26,316 units x $10 = $263,160
total = $1,842,120
currently total contribution margin is:
flowers: 25,000 units x $10 = $250,000
dogs: 100,000 units x $5 = $500,000
sports: 50,000 units x $4 = $200,000
total = $950,000
operating profit = $950,000 - $500,000 = $450,000
if the change is successful, then total contribution margin would be:
flowers: 100,000 units x $10 = $1,000,000
dogs: 50,000 units x $5 = $250,000
sports: 25,000 units x $4 = $100,000
total = $1,350,000
new operating profit = $1,350,000 - $500,000 = $850,000
So yes, I would recommend promoting the change in product mix to increase the sales of flower mugs in order to increase operating profit.

You can buy property today for $2.1 million and sell it in 6 years for $3.1 million. A. If the interest rate is 11%, what is the present value of the sales price?
B. What is the present value of the future cash flows, if you also could earn $110,000 per year rent on the property?
Answer:
Present value of sales price = 465,395.16
Present Value of future cash flow= 465,359.16
Explanation:
The present value of a sum expected in the future is the worth today given an opportunity cost interest rate. In another words ,it is amount receivable today that would make the investor to be indifferent between the amount receivable today and the future sum.
The present value of a lump sum can be worked out as follows:
PV = FV × (1+r)^(-n)
Present Value of sales price= 3.1 × 1.11^(-6) =1.65739
Present Value=165,738.65
Present Value of an annuity of 110,000 for 6 years:
PV = A × 1- ( (1+r)^(-n))/r
PV = 110,000× (1-1.11^(-6))/0.11= 465,359.16
PV = 465,359.16
A newly issued bond pays its coupons once annually. Its coupon rate is 5%, its maturity is 20 years, and its yield to maturity is 8%. a. Find the holding-period return for a 1-year investment period if the bond is selling at a yield to maturity of 7% by the end of the year.
Answer:
Holding Period return 19.54%
Explanation:
We purchase to get a yield of 8%
so we sovle for the present value of the bond (market value) which is the amount at which we adquire the bond:
PV of the coupon payment:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C ($1,000 x 5%) 50.000
time 20 years
rate 0.08
[tex]50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-20} }{0.08} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $490.9074
Pv of maturity:
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,000.00
time 20.00
rate 0.08
[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.08)^{20} } = PV[/tex]
PV 214.55
PV c $490.9074
PV m $214.5482
Total $705.4556
Then, we solve for the price that 7% YTM after a year:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]
C 50.000
time 19
rate 0.07
[tex]50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-19} }{0.07} = PV\\[/tex]
PV $516.7798
[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]
Maturity 1,000.00
time 19.00
rate 0.07
[tex]\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{19} } = PV[/tex]
PV 276.51
PV c $516.7798
PV m $276.5083
Total $793.2881
Now we compare to get hte capital gain:
year-end less beginning value
$793.29 - $705.46 = $87.83
The coupon is also a return:
$1,000 x 5% = $50
Total return $137.83
Investment $705.46
Holding-period return
137.83/705.46 = 0,195376 = 19.54%

Answer: 11.36%
Explanation:
The Cost of capital is calculated as;
= (Dividend rate / Net Stock price) * 100
= (10 / 88) * 100
= 11.36%
Net Stock price is used as it shows a more accurate depiction of the cost of capital since it uses the actual amount that the company received.

(c) The present value of a $2,310 savings account that will earn 3 percent interest for four years. Use Exhibit 1-C. (Round time value factor to 3 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. $836.07
b. $9,357.57
c. $8586.50
Explanation:
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
$660(1.03)^8 = $836.07
b. The formula for calculating future value of an annuity = A (B / r)
B = [(1 + r)^n] - 1
(1.06)^5 - 1 = 0.338226
( 0.338226 / 0.06) x $1,660 = $9,357.57

The bonds mature December 31, 2022, and the company uses the effective interest method to amortize bond discounts and debt issuance costs.Required a. Determine the selling price of the bonds. Round amount to the nearest whole dollar. b. Prepare an amortization schedule for the full bond term. c. Prepare journal entries on the following dates. 1. January 1, 2020, bond issuance. 2. June 30, 2020, interest payment. 3. December 31, 2020, interest payment.
Answer:
a. Determine the selling price of the bonds.
we can use the approximate yield to maturity formula to determine the price of the bonds:
0.035 = {30 + [(1,000 - MV) / 5]} / [(1,000 + MV) / 2]
0.035 x [(1,000 + MV) / 2] = 30 + [(1,000 - MV) / 5]
0.035 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 30 + 200 - 0.2MV
17.5 + 0.0175MV = 230 - 0.2MV
0.2175MV = 212.5
MV = 212.5 / 0.2175 = $977
b. Prepare an amortization schedule for the full bond term.
I used an excel spreadsheet because there is not enough room here
c. Prepare journal entries on the following dates.
1. January 1, 2020, bond issuance.
Dr Cash 38,280
Dr Credit issuance cost 800
Dr Discount on bonds payable 920
Cr Bonds payable 40,000
2. June 30, 2020, interest payment.
Dr Interest expense 1,368
Dr Debt issue expense 146
Cr Cash 1,200
Cr Discount on bonds payable 168
Cr Credit issuance cost 146
[($40,000 - $920) x 3.5%] - $1,200 = $168
($168 / $920) x $800 = $146
3. December 31, 2020, interest payment.
Dr Interest expense 1,374
Dr Debt issue expense 151
Cr Cash 1,200
Cr Discount on bonds payable 174
Cr Credit issuance cost 151
[($40,000 - $752) x 3.5%] - $1,200 = $174
($174 / $920) x $800 = $151
Which of the following indicates a website is NOT secure?
Answer:
a) a lock icon is not displayed in the address bar
(d) the url of the website begins with http
Explanation:
The lock item in the address bar is proof that the communication between your computer and the website is secure because it indicates that the communication is encrypted. If it is not there therefore, the communication is not secure.
Websites with Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) are secured as the communication is encrypted by the use of Transport Layer Security unlike websites with the basic HTTP. Visits to such sites are therefore riskier as there is a higher chance of information theft.
The website is not secure when its not displaying a lock, missing an updated SSL and does start with an HTTP instead of HTTPS.
There are many methods of checking that a website is secure is not correct by the use of various software tools like domain blocker, website checker etc.Hence the option D is correct that is the URL of the website begins with HTTP.

The business pays $2,000 in cash to the landlord for office space rent. a) Expenses reduce by $2,000 b) Equity remains unchanged c) Equity reduces by $2,000 d) Assets increase by $2,000 e) Liabilities reduce by $2,000
Answer: c) Equity reduces by $2,000
Explanation:
Expenses have the effect of reducing the income that the company would have made. That income is classified under equity as retained earnings so when expenses like office rent reduce the income, they are reducing the company's equity as well.
This is why expenses are debited when they increase because they reduce the equity accounts which are credited when they increase.

Baldwin Printing Company uses a job order costing system and applies overhead based on machine hours. A total of 150,000 machine hours have been budgeted for the year. During the year, an order for 1,000 units was completed and incurred the following:"Direct material costs $1,000Direct labor costs 1,500Actual overhead 1,980Machine hours 450The accountant calculated the inventory cost of this order to be $4.30 per unit. The annual budgeted overhead in dollars was;__________a) $577,500b) $600,000c) $645,000d) $660,000
Answer:
total estimated overhead costs for the period= $600,000
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the allocated overhead for the order:
Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
4,300= 1,000 + 1,500 + allocated overhead
allocated overhead= 4,300 - 1,000 - 1,500
allocated overhead= 1,800
Now, we can determine the allocation rate:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
1,800= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*450
1,800/450= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $4 per machine hour
Finally, the budgeted manufacturing overhead:

Answer:
a. The purchase price of the old computer when replacing it with a new computer with improved features - Irrelevant cost
Sunk costs are considered irrelevant and the price of the old computer is a sunk cost as it has already been incurred.
b. The cost of renovations when deciding whether to build a new office building or to renovate the existing office building - Relevant
The cost of renovations will help the company decide which alternative is cheaper between building a new office or renovating.
c. The original cost of the current stove when selecting a new, more efficient stove for a restaurant. - Irrelevant

Bell Company, a manufacturer of audio systems, started its production in October 2017. For the preceding 3 years, Bell had been a retailer of audio systems. After a thorough survey of audio system markets, Bell decided to turn its retail store into an audio equipment factory. Raw materials cost for an audio system will total $77 per unit. Workers on the production lines are on average paid $14 per hour. An audio system usually takes 6 hours to complete. In addition, the rent on the equipment used to assemble audio systems amounts to $5,100 per month. Indirect materials cost $6 per system. A supervisor was hired to oversee production; her monthly salary is $3,540. Factory janitorial costs are $1,420 monthly. Advertising costs for the audio system will be $8,850 per month. The factory building depreciation expense is $6,720 per year. Property taxes on the factory building will be $8,400 per year. Assuming that Bell manufactures, on average, 1,450 audio systems per month, identify and itemize the product costs, direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, and period costs.
Answer:
product costs per month
direct materials = $77 x 1,450 = $111,650 direct labor = $14 x 6 x 1,450 = $121,800manufacturing overhead = $5,100 + ($6 x 1,450) + $3,540 + $1,420 + ($6,720/12) + ($8,400/12) = $20,020total product costs per month = $253,470period costs
advertising = $8,850Product costs are all the costs that a company incurs in manufacturing a certain product, in this case the audio systems. Product costs include direct materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Period costs are all other expenses incurred by the company that are not related to the production process.
