Explanation:
A production of watermelons or any agrarian resource, needs specific resources to continue expanding production, because unlike an organization that produces durable goods, a company that produces watermelons needs more than machines and equipment, it primarily needs a farm with ideal land for planting and growing watermelons.
The resources also come from government subsidies, workers, equipment, investments, etc.
What is the price of a stock today if it pays a Dividend TODAY of $2. Its growth rate is 5%, and its market return is 12%?
Answer:
$30.00
Explanation:
The price of the stock can be derived from the stock theoretical price formula given and explained below:
stock price=expected dividend/(market return-growth rate)
expected dividend=dividend paid today*(1+growth rate)
expected dividend=$2*(1+5%)
expected dividend=$2.10
market rate of return=12%
growth rate=5%
stock price=$2.10/(12%-5%)
stock price=$2.10/7%
stock price=$30.00
Why is it relevant that finance tends to attract large amounts of money?
Explanation:
An organization to be successful in the long term and competitive in the market, needs financial capital to carry out its activities, for this they open the company's capital to investors, who are the capital holders willing to inject capital into the company and receive dividends business, thus becoming a partner of that company.
It is essential that companies attract investors willing to inject a large amount into the business, as this benefits both, since a company with larger amounts of assets will produce more, have its obligations up to date and remain better positioned in the market.
To attract investors to a company, it is necessary that the company has a good reputation in the market and there is a favorable negotiation process, where there is a demonstration of results and the opportunity that the investor will have to invest his money in an organization that will generate profits.
Over a five-year period, (nominal) GDP in a nation increased from $10 trillion to $15 trillion, while the GDP price deflator increased from 100 to 125. Approximately how much is GDP in year five, stated in terms of year-one dollars?
Answer:
The GDP in year five, stated in terms of year-one dollars, is approximately $12 trillion.
Explanation:
This can be calculate using the following formula:
Real GDP in year five = Nominal GDP in year five / (GDP price deflator in year five / GDP price deflator in year-one) ................... (1)
Where;
Real GDP in year five = Amount of GDP in year five, stated in terms of year-one dollars = ?
Nominal GDP in year five = $15 trillion
GDP price deflator in year five = 125
GDP price deflator in year-one = 100
Substituting the into equation (1), we have:
Real GDP in year five = $15 / (125 / 100) = $15 / 1.25 = $12 trillion
Therefore, the GDP in year five, stated in terms of year-one dollars, is approximately $12 trillion.

Madison Company issued an interest-bearing note payable with a face amount of $30,600 and a stated interest rate of 8% to the Metropolitan Bank on August 1, Year 1. The note carried a one-year term.
a. The amount of cash flow from operating activities on the 2016 statement of cash flows would be:________
b. Based on this information alone, the amount of total liabilities appearing on Madison's Year 1 balance sheet would be:________
Answer:
a. $0
b. $31,620
Explanation:
a. Notes Payable do not fall under Operating activities in the cashflow statement but rather under Financing Activities which is where cash transactions that provide the business with capital and liability funds are accounted for.
The Operating activity balance from this is therefore $0.
b. The liabilities will include the Note and the interest accumulated at year end.
Interest accumulated = 30,600 * 8% * 5/12 months = $1,020
Liabilities = 30,600 + 1,020 = $31,620

1. Why does Sutherland argue that businesses need to think about the small stuff rather than the big, splashy things?
2. Why do you think the small stuff makes such a difference for businesses?
3. Think about the business and products that you use or are familiar with. What is one "small stuff" that you could change or improve on one of them to make it more functional or better? Describe the product/service and the change that you would make.
Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers. For that reason, the answers may have inaccuracies in accuracy, but I hope it helped you.
1. Because little things are the basis for big things to happen. The little things are the details, which we often overlook, but which are extremely important for the smooth running of a company. Big, flashy things can be positive factors, but these things need to be composed of details that are small things that bring great results and need to be considered carefully.
2. Because they are unnoticed, but active. When we do not pay attention to them, they act without administration and regulation and can assume very disadvantageous positions, so it is necessary to note and regulate them to act according to the necessary control.
3. My mom runs a handbag store and runs events every season to showcase new trends. The event is a great thing, but it is full of small things (the details) that are of great importance for the success of the event. Among these small things, one that I would like to change is the cooling of the environment. As we live in a hot climate, we need to cool our warehouse during the event. We use fans, but I recognize that this detail should change and that change would bring more customers. That's because the fan messes up the customers' hair, making them uncomfortable. This is a small thing, but very important.

b) debit Interest Expense and credit Interest Payable, $900.
c) debit Interest Expense and credit Interest Payable, $1,350.
d) debit Interest Expense and credit Cash, $900.
The options provided in the question are incorrect.
Answer:
31 Dec 2021
Interest expense 1290 Dr
Interest Payable 1290 Cr
Explanation:
Under the accrual basis or principle of accounting, we match the revenue with the expenses and record the transactions in the period to which they relate to rather than when the cash is paid or received. This means that the interest payment that is accrued for time period relating to this year should be recorded as an expense in the current period and as a liability as it will be paid in the next period. Thus, the interest on the note relating to 2 months from November 2020 to December 2020 will be recorded as follows,
Interest expense = 86000 * 0.09 * 2/12 = 1290
31 Dec 2021
Interest expense 1290 Dr
Interest Payable 1290 Cr

The company measures its activity in terms of flights. Customers can buy individual tickets for overflights or hire an entire plane for an overflight at a discount.
Required:
Prepare a flexible budget performance report for July that includes revenue and spending variances and activity variances.
Answer:
1. Revenue and Spending Variance
Revenue = (19,380 - 16,400) = 2980 U
Expenses
Wages & Salaries = 8,559 - 8,525 = 34 U
Fuel = 1,870 - 1,938 = 68 F
Airport Fees = 2,808 - 2,693 = 115 U
Aircraft Depreciation = 0 None
Office Expenses = 287 - 455 = 168 F
Total Expenses = 87 F
Net Operating Income = 5,275 - 2,114 = 3161 U
2. Activity Variances
Activity Variances are used to compare revenue and cost item between the planning budget and flexible budget of the company.
Revenue = 18,700 - 19,380 = 680 U
Expenses
Wages and salaries = 8,385 - 8,559 = 174 U
Fuel = 1,870 - 1,938 = 68 U
Airport fees = 2,740 - 2,808 = 68 U
Aircraft depreciation = 495 - 513 = 18 U
Office expenses = 285 - 287 = 2 U
Total expense = 330 U
Net operating income = 4,925 - 5,275 = 350 U

Banana Company hired some students to help count inventory during their semester break. Unfortunately, the students added incorrectly and the 2020 ending inventory was overstated by $6,000. What would be the effect of this error in ending inventory?
Answer: a. 2020 net income will be overstated
Explanation:
Ending Inventory is used in the calculation of Cost of Goods sold. It is subtracted from the Cost of Goods sold so if it is Overstated then that means that Cost of Goods sold is understated.
Cost of Goods sold is subtracted from Revenue to find income so if Cost of Goods sold is Understated then Net Income will be Overstated in turn.
One of your team members is struggling with preparation of balance sheet and he needs your assistance in completing it. He has come up with following missing information. You are required to complete this Balance sheet.
Assets Liabilities & Equity
Cash $ 100,000 Current Liabilities
Receivables Long Term Debt
Inventory Total Debt
Plant Common Equity $ 600,000
Total Assets Total Claims
Additional Information:
Current Ratio is 2.5 ; Average Collection Period is 54 days ; Total Debt to Total Assets 40 percent ; Total Asset Turnover is 2 ; Inventory Turnover 5.
Answer:
Balance sheet
Cash $100,000 Current Liabilities $320,000
Receivables $300,000 Long Term Debt $80,000
Inventory $400,000 Total Debt $400,000
Plant $200,000 Common Equity $600,000
Total Assets $1,000,000 Total Claims $1,000,000
Explanation:
a) Total Debt to Total Assets 40 percent:
This means that Equity = 60% (100 - 40%)
If Equity is 60% = $600,000, total claims or assets will be equal to $600,000/60% = $1,000,000
Therefore, total debt = $400,000 (40% of $1,000,000)
b) Total Asset Turnover is 2:
If total assets = $1,000,000 and the total asset turnover is 2 or Turnover/Assets = 2, where total assets = $1,000,000,
Therefore, Turnover = $2,000,000 ($1,000,000 * 2)
c) Inventory Turnover is 5:
Inventory Turnover = Turnover/Inventory = 5
= $2,000,000/Inventory = 5
Inventory = $2,000,000/5 = $400,000
d) Average Collection Period is 54 days:
= Accounts Receivable/Sales x 365 = 54
Accounts Receivable = $2,000,000/365 * 54 = $296,000 or approximately $300,000
Current assets:
Cash = $100,000
Receivables $300,000
Inventory = $400,000
Total = $800,000
e) Current liabilities = Current assets/2.5
= $800,000/2.5
= $320,000
f) Plant = Total assets - current assets
= $1,000,000 - $800,000
= $200,000
g) Long term debt = Total debt - Current liabilities
= $400,000 - $320,000
= $80,000
Hanson Inc. has the following variable manufacturing overhead standard to manufacture one Zippy:
1.5 standard hours per Zippy at $3.00 per direct labor hour
Last week, 1,550 hours were worked to make 1,000 Zippies, and $5,115 was spent for variable manufacturing overhead.
1. Hanson’s rate variance (VMRV) for variable manufacturing overhead for the week was:_______.
a. $465 unfavorable.
b. $400 favorable.
c. $335 unfavorable.
d. $300 favorable
2. Hanson’s efficiency variance (VMEV) for variable manufacturing overhead for the week was:______.
a. $435 unfavorable.
b. $435 favorable.
c. $150 unfavorable.
d. $150 favorable.
Answer:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $465 unfavorable
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $150 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard:
1.5 standard hours per Zippy at $3.00 per direct labor hour
Actual:
1,550 hours to make
1,000 Zippies
$5,115 was spent
To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Actual rate= 5,115/1,550= $3.3
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (3 - 3.3)*1,550
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $465 unfavorable
To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (1.5*1,000 - 1,550)*3
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $150 unfavorable
Griggs Pharmaceuticals entered into a licensing agreement with Lake Superior Lab for a new drug under development. Griggs will receive $8,100,000 if the new drug receives FDA approval.

Based on the information given we were told that the Pharmaceuticals company had a licensing agreement with another company which is Superior Lab for the purpose of a new drug which is under development in which Griggs company will receive the amount of $8,100,000 assuming the new drug receives FDA approval which means that the transaction price of arrangement should be the amount of $8,100,000 that will be receiving by Griggs company assuming the new drug receives FDA approval.
A company will sell N units of a product after spending $x thousand in advertising, as given by N = 60x - x^2 5 \leq x \leq 30approximately what increase in sales will result by increasing the advertising budget from $10,000 to $11,000 and from $20,000 to $21,000?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
[tex]N(x) = 60 x - x^2[/tex] where; 5 ≤ x ≤ 30
SO by increasing the advertising budget from 10,000 to 11000; the budget is increased from 10 to 11 since x is in thousands.
∴
Increase in sales = N(x₂) - N(x₁)
Increase in sales = N(11) -N(10)
Increase in sales = (60(11)-11²) - (60(10) -10²)
Increase in sales = (660 - 121) - (600 - 100)
Increase in sales = 539 - 500
Increase in sales = 39 units
By increasing the advertising budget from 20,000 to 21000; the budget is increased from 20 to 21 since x is in thousands.
∴
Increase in sales = N(x₂) - N(x₁)
Increase in sales = N(21) -N(20)
Increase in sales = (60(21)-21²) - (60(20) -20²)
Increase in sales = (1260 - 441) - (1200 - 400)
Increase in sales = 819 - 800
Increase in sales = 19 units

Jam J Inc.'s contribution margin ratio is 58% and its fixed monthly expenses are $36,000. Assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change, what is the company's net operating income in a month when sales are $103,000?
Answer:
the net operating income is $23,740
Explanation:
The computation of the company net operating income is shown below:
As we know that
Sales $103,000
Less: Variable cost -$43,260 ($103,000 × 0.58)
Contribution margin $59,740 ($103,000 × 0.58)
Less: Fixed cost -$36,000
Net operating income $23,740
hence, the net operating income is $23,740
Radon Corporation manufactured 37,500 units during March. The following fixed overhead data pertain to March: Actual Static Budget Production 37,500 units 34,000 units Machine-hours 10,375 hours 10,200 hours Fixed overhead costs for March $213,200 $204,000 What is the fixed overhead production-volume variance?
Answer:
$21,000 Unfavorable
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate fixed overhead absorption rate.
Fixed overhead absorption rate = Fixed overhead costs for March(Static budget) ÷ Production(Static budget)
= $204,000 ÷ $34,000
= $6 per unit
Fixed overhead production volume variance
= Amount actually applied - Amount budgeted
= ($6 × 37,500) - $204,000
= $225,000 - $204,000
= $21,000 Unfavorable

4. Which is not a way that an offer can be terminated by action of the parties?
B. Offeror performs acts inconsistent with the existence of the offer (e.g., transacts the same business with a different offeree).
Explanation:
The contract existing between Tommy and Thacker can be implied or express. The legally-binding obligation that derives from the actions, conduct, or circumstances of Tommy and Thacker creates an implied contract with the same legal force as an express contract. On the other hand, an express contract is voluntarily entered into and agreed on verbally or in writing by two or more parties.
The market risk premium is 9.0%, and the risk-free rate is 5.0%. If the expected return on a bond is 9.5%, what is its beta?
Answer:
The beta is 1
Explanation:
The computation of beta using the CAPM model is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × Market risk premium
9.5% = 5% + Beta × 9.0%
9.5% - 5% = Beta × 9.0%
9.0% = Beta × 9.0%
So, the beta is 1

Why should the people on the RA team be different from the people responsible for correcting deficiencies?a. to avoid potential losses.
b. to increase profitability.
c. to avoid conflicts of interest.
d. to increase survivability.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: To avoid conflicts of interest.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term of risk assesstment refers to the process of identifying and analyzing possible future threats that may cause harm to the individuals or the assets of the company and from there on to evalute possible solutions to those situation that the company does not want to. Moreover, the risk manager is the one who should take care of those aspects and therefore that an RA team is the one that is being under his commands and should focus on the fact of identifying and analyzing the problems as well as evaluating instead of correcting some of those deficiencies and therefore that they need to have a different mind in the theme because they need to avoid conflicts of interest with the other team that is responsible from correcting.
Each year, Sunshine Motos surveys 7,500 former and prospective customers regarding satisfaction and brand awareness. For the current year, the company is considering outsourcing the survey to Global Associates, who have offered to conduct the survey and summarize results for $30,300.Craig Sunshine, the president of Sunshine Motors, believes that Global will do a higher-quality job than his company has been doing, but is unwilling to spend more than $10,000 above the current costs. The head of bookkeeping for Sunshine has prepared the following summary of costs related to the survey in the prior year.
Mailing $16,600
Printing (done by Lester Print Shop) $4,500
Salary of Pat Fisher, part-time employee who stuffed envelopes and summarized data when surveys were returned (100 hours X $15) $1,500
Share of depreciation of computer and software used to track survey responses and summarized results. $1,100
Share of electricity/phone/etc. based on square feet of space occupied by Pat Fisher vs. entire company. $500
Required:
What is the incremental cost of going outside versus conducting the survey as in the past?
Answer:

Mailing costs $16,600 $0 ($16,600)
Printing costs $4,500 $0 ($4,500)
Labor costs $1,500 $0 ($1,500)
Outsourcing $0 $30,300 $30,300
costs
totals $22,600 $30,300 $7,700
The incremental cost of outsourcing the surveys is $7,700. Some of the current costs are unavoidable, e.g. depreciation expense and utilities, so they should not be considered in this analysis. But other costs, e.g. direct labor, are avoidable.
I know that Pat using the computer will increase the company's electric bill by a few dollars, but it would never be $500 (maybe $5). Maybe he even calls a few customers to check some answers, but again this might add $10 to the phone bill. Also, Pat using the computer's mouse or any other equipment might result in it breaking down, but that is not worth $1,500. Since the cost analysis is not specific, it is safer not to include depreciation or utilities.

Explanation:
Squid Roe, Inc.'s $48,000 sushi bar was originally expected to be used for eight years with no residual value. Depreciation on the bar was $6,000 per year for the past two years. In the third year, management changed the estimated life of the bar to be a total of only six years instead of eight. What should Squid Roe do?
Answer:
Squid Roe should change annual depreciation expense to $9,000 per from year 3 through year 6.
Explanation:
The depreciation expense will have to change from year 3 through year 6 as a result of change from eight years to six years as follows:
Asset cost = $48,000
Depreciation expense for first two years = $6,000 * 2 = $12,000
Net book value after 2 years = Asset cost - Depreciation expense for first two years = $48,000 - $12,000 = $36,000
Remaining years after 2 years = 6 - 2 = 4
New annual depreciation expense = Net book value after 2 years / Remaining years after 2 years = $36,000 / 4 = $9,000
Therefore, Squid Roe should change annual depreciation expense to $9,000 per from year 3 through year 6.
